布魯克林 (十二月 8, 2019) – 不敗的WBC中量級世界冠軍Jermall夏洛茨維爾 (30-0, 22 科斯) successfully defended his title for the second time, stopping highly-ranked Irish contender 丹尼斯·霍根 (28-3-1, 7 科斯) with a showstopping one-punch knockout in the seventh round Saturday night live on SHOWTIME from Barclays Center, 布魯克林拳擊™的家, 由總理拳擊冠軍呈現事件.
WATCH CHARLO’S FINISH
Houston’s Charlo, one of the most exciting young champions in the sport, delivered on his promise that he would close the show in spectacular fashion after going the distance in his previous two bouts. 在 :28 of round number seven, Charlo set Hogan up by feinting on the jab before connecting on a ferocious left hook to Hogan’s nose that sent him falling against the ropes. The 34-year-old Hogan, who was moving up after most recently challenging for the title at 154 英鎊, rose to his feet before the ten count, but referee Charlie Fitch waived off the bout.
When Hogan was dropped in the seventh round, it was the third time in his career that he had been down and the second time during the fight. 在第三輪, a vicious left uppercut from Charlo just 12 seconds into the frame sent Hogan rolling backwards onto the canvas, 但愛爾蘭人迅速而巧妙地站了起來.
儘管出拳次數少得多, 查洛的進攻更有效、更有效率. 查洛著陸 86 的 266 他揮出的拳頭 (32%) 當霍根剛剛著陸時 71 的 418 他揮出的拳頭 (17%). 儘管霍根登陸 61 相比於權力拳 57 為了查洛, 霍根無法傷害查洛, 而查洛的標誌性力量導致了另一個精彩片段的停播.
“我成功了 2019 我們將會 2020 同 20/20 想像,” 查洛在比賽結束後在擂台上說道. “向丹尼斯·霍根大喊大叫，他給了我真正的競爭，並上來與我戰鬥。當然，今晚我的力量佔了上風.
“我們一直在努力 (上勾拳). 我試著用每一拳把他打倒，我們為此努力. 他站起來，像冠軍一樣戰鬥. 羅尼 (希爾茲) 叫我切斷他的聯繫. I just threw the shot and I made sure I threw it right on the money.
“The middleweight division is wide open. I’m the WBC Champion. I’m going to enjoy this and spend time with my team. I’m here to fight whoever. You have to make the right decisions and do it at the right time. That’s what it’s all about.”
“I wanted to keep going but the decision was fair enough by the referee,” said Hogan. “I didn’t see the punch coming on the second knockdown. I was trying to keep boxing him but then all of a sudden I was on the ground and the fight was over.
“I’m looking forward to spending the Christmas holiday with my family, taking a month off, and then we’ll work on what’s next for me.”
在協調功能回合, 克里斯·尤班克JR.的 (29-2, 22 科斯) long-awaited United States debut ended in frustrating fashion as his opponent, 馬特·科羅博夫 (28-3-1, 14 科斯), suffered a bout-ending injury at just :34 第二輪. Because it was ruled a self-inflicted injury, the result was officially declared a TKO victory for Eubank, who picked up the Interim WBA Middleweight Title.
科羅博夫, a top contender in the middleweight division, injured his left shoulder after throwing a punch that failed to land. After consulting with the ringside doctor, it was deemed that he would be unable to continue.
“I felt like I was about to get my swagger on,” Eubank told SHOWTIME reporter Jim Gray following the stoppage. “He just turned around and stopped. I was going to go jump on him. I guess something happened with his shoulder. There’s nothing to take from the fight. I threw like three or four punches. I was just warming up.”
In the buildup to the fight, 尤班克, the son of British boxing legend and former two-division world champion Chris Eubank Sr., repeatedly said that there would be a new contender in the stacked middleweight division. Despite not getting a chance to introduce himself to the American audience in the way he envisioned, Eubank is looking ahead to a busy 2020.
“I’m the winner, I’m going to move forward and challenger for these belts,” said Eubank. “This wasn’t my dream. My dream was to come here to America and make a statement. Now that I’ve landed and I settled with the new promotional team, I feel I can get the ball rolling for an active 2020. It’s a shame it had to start like this, but it is what it is.”
“I was trying to throw the left hand straight, and I just felt the muscle immediately, like I pulled it,” said Korobov. “It was a lot of pain right away. I couldn’t fight with just one arm, especially being a southpaw.”
In a battle of former world champions to open the telecast, Japan’s 岩佐涼介 (27-3, 17 科斯) knocked out the Philippines’ 馬龍Tapales (33-3, 16 科斯) with a devastating straight left-hand at 1:09 的 11日 圓. 同贏, Iwasa earned the vacant Interim IBF World Junior Featherweight Title.
Iwasa, who held a six-and-a-half-inch reach advantage, was more consistent throughout the entirety of the bout, stringing together multi-punch combinations. The decisive moment of the 12-round fight came in the penultimate round, when Tapales was caught with a counter left-hand that connected flush on his chin and put him sprawled on the canvas. Tapales beat the count, rising after eight seconds, but referee Shada Murdaugh waved the fight off.
在停止時, Iwasa led on all three scorecards (97-92, 95-94, 97-92). While Tapales was more accurate throughout the night, Iwasa was busier and landed 163 total punches compared to 148 for Tapales and held a 125-99 advantage in power punches landed. 在第三輪, Tapales was dropped to a knee after an accidental clash of heads. The clash, which was incorrectly ruled a knockdown, caused severe swelling under Tapales’ right eye and swung a would-be 10-9 round in his favor to a 10-8 round in Iwasa’s favor.
“I knew that I had him hurt in the 11日 round and I was ready for the finish if the referee had let him keep fighting,” said the 29-year-old Iwasa. “It was a tough fight but I trained really hard for this performance. My height and reach was definitely an advantage. I was able to put my punches together well. He never hurt me but he was still difficult and I had to focus to figure him out.
“We’re ready for anyone next. I’m going to keep working hard to become a world champion again next year.”
On Saturday’s telecast it was announced that former two-division world champion Danny Garcia would return to the ring on Saturday, 一月 25 住在Showtime巴克萊中心. During an interview with SHOWTIME Sports host Brian Custer, Garcia discussed his anticipated return to the ring.
“一月 25, I’m back at Barclays Center, my home away from home,” Garcia said. “It’s a great atmosphere. Every time I’m here, I get the jitters, so I just can’t wait to be back. I’ve been in the gym for a month. I’m already ready. I don’t know who my opponent is, but whoever they put in front of me, 我已經準備好得到它.
“首先, 感謝上帝 (埃羅爾) Spence is doing good. I hear that he’s recovering well. I was really looking forward to fighting him but maybe he could be next after January 25. 吃豆人 (帕奎奧) or Spence, that’s who we want. 2020 is going to be a big year for me.”
Prior to the telecast on SHOWTIME, SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING COUNTDOWN streamed live on the SHOWTIME 體育 YouTube 頻道 和 欣欣拳擊Facebook頁面 and saw 羅納德·埃利斯 (17-1-2, 11 科斯) win a majority decision over 伊曼紐爾·阿利姆 (18-2-2, 11 科斯) in their 10-round super middleweight fight.
The back and forth affair saw both men grab the momentum of the fight at different points, but it was Ellis’ activity and ability to box effectively from the outside that gave him the edge. While one judge had the fight 95-95, he was overruled by two scores of 98-92 和 97-93 for Ellis.
The opening streaming bout saw 路易莎Hawton (10-2, 5 科斯) retain her Interim WBC Atomweight Championship by unanimous decision in an all-action rematch against洛林·比利亞洛沃斯 (4-3, 2 科斯).
