SERGIY DEREVYANCHENKO TRAINING CAMP NOTES

“Jermall has never faced anyone like me before. I’ll apply more pressure than he’s used to”

Top Rated Contender Derevyanchenko Faces WBC Middleweight Champion Jermall Charlo this Saturday, September 26 Headlining Part One of CHARLO DOUBLEHEADER, a SHOWTIME PPV® Event Presented by Premier Boxing Champions

NEW YORK – September 21, 2020 – Top contender Sergiy Derevyanchenko believes that his combination of skills and experience will make him the toughest challenge that WBC Middleweight Champion Jermall Charlo has faced in his career, as they near their showdown this Saturday, September 26 headlining part one of CHARLO DOUBLEHEADER, a SHOWTIME PPV event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

“I’ll definitely be his toughest test at middleweight,"Sade Derevyanchenko. “Jermall has never faced anyone like me. I’ll apply more pressure than he’s used to. He’s also never faced anyone with my footwork. I’ll fight more on the inside than his previous opponents.”

Derevyanchenko sports a 13-2 pro record with 10 knockouts, following an extensive amateur career that included representing his native Ukraine at the 2008 Olympics as part of his 390-20 overall ledger. En pro sedan 2014, Derevyanchenko’s experience in the amateurs has aided him as he climbed up the middleweight division in the paid ranks.

“My amateur experience has helped me a lot,"Sade Derevyanchenko. “I came to the pros with much more experience in the ring than most other fighters and it’s been a big part of what I’ve accomplished. I believe that all of that experience will help me get the win on Saturday and take Charlo’s belt.”

The 34-year-old now lives in Brooklyn and has avoided any negative training impact of the pandemic by working with his head trainer Andre Rozier at their private gym in New Jersey. September 26 will be Derevyanchenko’s third world title fight, after losing a narrow decision to Gennadiy Golovkin last October and a split decision against Daniel Jacobs in 2018. Each of his previous title fights have presented different experiences that he can take into the Charlo fight, based off the similarities and differences between the opponents.

“Golovkin is a very different fighter than Charlo, but Jacobs is similar stylistically, so that’s something I’ll be used to,"Sade Derevyanchenko. “This training camp has been very similar to camps for my previous fights though. We just brought in different sparring partners for this one. We’re using fighters who can show us what Charlo will bring to the ring.

“We’re making necessary adjustments based off all our experience and developing a game plan specifically for Charlo. The sparring partners have been giving me great work and I’m absolutely ready for September 26.”

In both of his title opportunities, Derevyanchenko has suffered a knockdown in the first round, only to battle back and nearly win the fight. Despite the similar script, Derevyanchenko is not focusing on those opening round mistakes as he prepares for Charlo.

“I’ll be very focused in the early rounds against Charlo, we’re not dwelling on the past,"Sade Derevyanchenko. “We always have an eye looking forward. I’ll try to get the win faster against Charlo, so we’ll be applying more pressure early.

“Those first round knockdowns were just brief moments in those fights. I quickly moved on, put them behind me and fought my way back into it. I told myself that I may have lost the first round, but I just had to be better in the remaining rounds.”

With fight week here and the bulk of the hard training behind him, Derevyanchenko is prepared for the challenge Charlo presents, no matter how the fight goes or which strategy Charlo enters the ring with.

“I’m not solely focused on the fight going one certain way, we just have our game plan and we’ll see what happens in the ring,"Sade Derevyanchenko. “If I can knock him out, I’ll be ready to go for it. But if it goes 12 rundor, I have all of the skills to win a decision.”

LUIS NERY TRAINING CAMP QUOTES

“After I win this belt on September 26, I want Brandon Figueroa next!”

Unbeaten Former Champion Nery Takes on Undefeated Aaron Alameda for Vacant WBC Super Bantamweight Title Saturday, September 26 In Co-Main Event of Part Two of a SHOWTIME PPV® Doubleheader Presented by Premier Boxing Champions

NEW YORK – September 17, 2020 – Unbeaten former champion Luis Nery shared updates from his training camp as he prepares to take on undefeated Aaron Alamedafor the vacant WBC Super Bantamweight World Championship in the co-main event of part two of a SHOWTIME PPV doubleheader Saturday, September 26 i ett evenemang som presenteras av Premier Boxing Champions.

För denna kamp, Nery is training for the first time under the guidance of Eddy Reynoso at his gym in San Diego, alongside Canelo Alvarez and former heavyweight champion Andy Ruiz Jr., bl.a.. Although Nery enters this fight on an 11-fight knockout streak, he has been able to hone other facets of his arsenal under Reynoso.

“Coach Reynoso has been helping me a lot with my defense,” said Nery. “We’re working on boxing with my hands up and on my accuracy. He’s helping me do everything possible to maximize my power and speed. I feel very strong and I’ve been sparring 12 rounds for a while now. I’m extremely ready for September 26 and focused on nothing but that.”

Nery and Alameda were set to square off in a bantamweight battle on SHOWTIME® Mars, before the pandemic delayed that showdown. With Rey Vargas vacating his 122-pound title due to an injury, the rescheduled fight came with the addition of that title being on the line. While he knows Alameda will bring his best, Nery is confident in continuing his winning streak.

“I know that Alameda is a tough, undefeated fighter who’s going to leave it all in the ring,” said Nery. “I know he wants to win, just like me, and I know he’s working every day so that he can perform to his maximum potential. I believe that my speed and my overall talent will make me the winner. The postponement has given me even more time to train and prepare for this matchup. Jag är 100% ready.”

Nery has long established himself as a force in the bantamweight division, winning his title in 2017 by traveling to Japan and handing Shinsuke Yamanaka his first loss via fourth-round stoppage. While September 26 is his first championship fight at 122-pounds, he has his sights set on dominating the super bantamweight division and beyond.

“At this moment, I want to fight at both 118 and 122-pounds,” said Nery. “There are a lot of great fights to be made in those weight classes. Sometime next year, I want to move up to 126-pounds so that I can dominate all three divisions.”

The stacked September 26 PPV undercards feature a wealth of champions and top talent at both the 118 och 122 weight classes. If he’s victorious next Saturday night, Nery has his eyes on a fight against WBA Super Bantamweight Champion Brandon Figueroa, who defends his title against Damien Vazquez in the co-main event of part one of the doubleheader.

“After I win this belt on September 26, I want Brandon Figueroa next,” said Nery. “I’m not overlooking Alameda at all, but if I had my choice, me and Figueroa would give the fans a great show my next time in the ring.”

HOUSTON – September 14, 2020 – Unbeaten WBC Middleweight World ChampionJermall Charlo brought fans and media into his training camp Monday with a virtual media workout as he prepares to face top contender Sergiy Derevyanchenko to headline part one of a first-of-its-kind SHOWTIME PPV doubleheader Saturday, September 26 i ett evenemang som presenteras av Premier Boxing Champions.

Charlo was joined Monday by his longtime trainer Ronnie Shields as he showed off a variety of skills while training for the toughest opponent of his pro career. Charlo vs. Derevyanchenko will headline the first part of the special PPV doubleheader that begins at 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT, before his twin brother and WBC Super Welterweight Champion Jermell Charlo steps in for the main event of part two against WBA and IBF 154-pound champion Jeison Rosario.

The workout streamed live on the PBC YouTube page and can be viewed in its entiretyHÄR. Here is what Charlo and Shields had to say Monday:

Charlo JERMALL

“I know that it’s my time to shine and my time to give everyone the best that I can give. I’m striving to be one of the best to ever lace up a pair of gloves.

“The fans that love me can expect me to do what I do. The fans who don’t know about me, they’re going to see a smart, strong and athletic fighter. You’re going to see all of it in the ring on September 26.

“I came from nothing, so I want to put everyone on. I want to make sure Ronnie Shields gets into the Hall of Fame. We’re looking to do something in boxing that no one has ever done.

“When I look outside this gym, I say there’s no way I’m losing. I’m carrying my whole family on my back. Houston, we have another one. I’m doing it for everybody here.

“I’m telling those other middleweights to buckle your seatbelts. It’s lift off. Everyone that doubted me, everyone who wants a chance, you’ll get your turn. I’m running the show. You just stay locked in.

“My power is growing along with me. With some fights you need to add more power and sometimes your power just naturally increases. I’ve gotten a lot stronger and a lot smarter, so I’ve been able to use my skills to go along with my power heading into this fight.

“Derevyanchenko is a come forward fighter. He’s going to bring a lot of power and speed with good technical skills. He calls himself ‘The Technician’ but we’ll see how technical he is once I start putting my jab in his face. I’m going to use all my natural skills in this fight.

“After I win this fight the sky is the limit. I know people will respect me a lot more after this, but I’m focused on only this fight. This fight is another big stepping stone toward even bigger fights to come.

“A lot of people don’t really know where the Charlos came from and they’re getting the chance to learn it throughout this time. It’s taken to this point for everyone to see that we belong on this big stage. I’m grateful for everyone around me who’s embraced me with love.

“We don’t have too much longer to be doing this. Where are the rest of the belts at? Jag är redo. Watch next Saturday night, because I’m making this statement loud for everyone who doubted me.”

RONNIE SHIELDS, Charlo s Trainer

“It means a lot to be in this position. It shows you that your fighter has made it to the top. He’s at the point where people want to see the champion of the world. It’s great to be there with him and help him to this level in the sport.

“At this moment, Jermall is in great shape and he’s just about ready. We still have another week of hard training to go, then we’ll start coming down next week. He’s really sharp right now and we just have to keep him that way.

“Houston loves winners and this guy is a winner. People know he’s a family man also and he works very hard for everything he’s gotten. He’s always shouting out Houston because this is where he’s from and it’s important to him.

“I’ve had so many good fighters in my career, but Jermall is right up there at the top with Evander Holyfield, Vernon Forrest and Pernell Whitaker. He works hard and pays attention to what he has to do. The thing that separates them is that he knows how to watch his opponent and he knows what he’s in for.

“Just like every opponent, we expect Sergiy to be at his best. We expect Sergiy to come in and try to win and be the best he can possibly be. Jermall is doing the same thing. No stone will be left unturned. We go over the game plan every day.”

Biljetter till evenemanget, som främjas av Warriors Boxing och TGB -kampanjer, finns det erbjudanden nu, och kan köpas på Armory på http://Armorymn.com/ Och genom Ticketmaster.

Här är vad presskonferensdeltagarna hade att säga torsdag från Generals Hall på Armory:

PETER QUILLIN

“Jag är här för att ta en stor kamp. Det är vad vi arbetade så hårt att göra på lördag kväll. Jag är glad att visa upp mina talanger på FS1 och Fox Deportes och göra ett uttalande på super medelvikt.

“Min fru hade precis en dotter, Och det har varit min största motivation alla träningsläger. Jag kämpar för min familj, inte bara mig själv. Jag hoppas kunna inspirera människor som ser min berättelse och inser att det inte bara handlar om kampen, Men om vad vi kämpar för. Jag är här för att sprida ett positivt meddelande.

“När vi är i den ringen, Allt jag ska se är Caleb Truax, Ingenting annat är viktigt. Jag är mycket lycklig att vara här och ha chansen att visa mina färdigheter. Han måste se bra ut framför sina fans, Och jag är bara här för att ge fansen en bra kamp. Det finns inget tryck för att göra något extra.

“Vädret här påminner mig om mig om hemma i Grand Rapids, Michigan. Att gå till nya städer är lite som att ha nya platser att erövra. Jag är här med rätt tankesätt att Minnesota kommer att bli en plats som jag kommer ihåg och att jag kommer att ha ett bra minne från.

“När jag sparrade Caleb kom jag ihåg att jag slog av hans huvudbonader och det flög över ringen, Det är det enda jag verkligen kommer ihåg från det. Jag visste att våra vägar så småningom kunde korsa. Jag har haft mitt öga på honom och jag var verkligen glad för honom när han vann sin titel. Jag har en känsla av att vi kommer att kombinera för en fantastisk kamp.

“Jag har en mycket beslutsam motståndare och jag kämpar i hans trädgård. Det är en tuff kamp för oss båda. Jag måste lägga ner min myndighet på denna kamp och kontrollera den. Det kommer att bli svårt med alla hans fans där inne, Men vad jag alltid har gjort är att ta negativa omständigheter, och förvandla dem till positiva.”

CALEB Truax

“Jag är glad över lördagskvällen. Det är en stor kamp och viktigt för mig att jag är i huvudevenemanget och i en titel eliminator. Jag vill tjäna en chans till en annan titel och jag vet att jag måste ta hand om affärer på lördag för att komma dit.

“Jag ser fram emot att dela ringen med Peter Quillin, en kille som jag har känt och respekterat ett tag. Han har åstadkommit mycket. Jag tror att våra stilar verkligen kommer att kollidera och ge fansen mycket action och drama.

“Peter och jag sparrade för länge sedan, tillbaka 2012. Jag kom bort och kände mig säker på att om vi någonsin kämpade, Jag skulle kunna få jobbet gjort. Jag kommer inte ihåg mycket av detaljerna, Men jag kände mig säker på upplevelsen. Samtidigt, Jag förväntar mig en ännu bättre Peter Quillin på lördag kväll och det är vad jag tränade för.

“Jag har försökt träna lite smartare för den här. Jag måste fokusera mer på återhämtning vid denna punkt i min karriär. Jag har haft nästan samma team runt mig ett tag nu. Vi gör den gamla skolutbildningen och arbetar hårt varje dag.

“Insatserna är höga för denna kamp. Den som vinner förhoppningsvis får en spricka på titeln. Det kommer att bli svårt för förloraren att studsa tillbaka. Om jag vill fortsätta slåss måste jag lämna lördagen med min hand upphöjd.

“Det är en spänning att vara i denna kamp och ha det här på armén framför mina hemstadsfans. Jag såg stödet det (kollega) Jamal James fick för sin sista kamp, Och jag förväntar mig mer av det på lördag. Det kommer att bli speciellt och jag kommer att dra fördel.”

Sergiy Derevyanchenko

“Jag är glad att vara här för denna världstitel Elimination Fight. Denna kamp är viktig för min karriär att komma tillbaka till vart jag vill gå och visa vad jag kan.

“På lördagskvällen kommer jag att sätta på en riktigt bra show och ge fansen en vacker kamp. Alla vet att jag alltid har åtgärder och stor teknisk skicklighet. Jag är övertygad om att jag kommer att segra på lördag och fortsätta att vinna ett världsmästerskap.”

Jack Culcay

“Det är trevligt att vara här och jag är mycket tacksam för den här möjligheten mot Derevyanchenko. Det är en stor ära för mig att vara i denna kamp mot en av de bästa medelvägarna i världen. Detta steget som jag ville ta i min karriär.

“Jag har sparrat med Caleb Truax, Och jag känner att det har fått mig helt redo för den här utmaningen. Jag ska visa det i ringen på lördag kväll. Det kommer att bli mycket action och mycket skicklighet i ringen.”

Joey Spencer

“Jag är verkligen glad över att slåss på det här kortet med rubriken av Peter Quillin och Caleb Truax. Jag vill tacka alla för stödet, både mina fans och mitt team för allt som har fått mig här. Vi har arbetat riktigt hårt varje dag i träningsläger och jag kan inte vänta med att sätta på en show.

“Armory är en fantastisk plats med stor energi. Jag har kämpat här tidigare och jag ser fram emot att komma ut och sätta på en annan bra prestation för denna Minneapolis -publik.”

LEON Margules, VD för Warriors Boxning

“Jag är glad att välkomna alla tillbaka till den senaste PBC Fight Night på Armory. De som har kommit till de tidigare showen har märkt att folkmassorna har blivit större och större. Dessa shower genererar stor spänning och lördag är ett annat exempel på ett kort laddat med elitkämpar.

“Det är verkligen en fantastisk behandling att marknadsföra det här kortet. Det borde vara en fantastisk natt med boxning för alla på Armory och titta på FS1 eller Fox Deportes. Detta kort är staplat från topp till botten och kommer att levereras från början till slut.”

Top Contender Sergiy Derevyanchenko Battles Jack Culcay in Middleweight Title Eliminator & Rising Prospect Chris Colbert Steps Into the Ring in Action Beginning at 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT

Tickets on Sale Saturday, Februari 23!

Minneapolis (Februari 21, 2019) – Former world champions will go toe-to-toe as Peter “Kid Choklad” Quillin faces Minnesota-native Caleb “Golden” Truax in a 12-round IBF super middleweight title eliminator that headlines Premier Boxing Champions on FS1 and FOX Deportes Saturday, April 13 Från armén i Minneapolis.

Televised coverage begins at 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT and will feature top middleweight contenderSergiy Derevyanchenkotar påJack Culcayin a 12-round IBF title eliminator, plus unbeaten rising prospectChris Colbertwill compete in an undercard attraction.

Biljetter till evenemanget, which is promoted by Warriors Boxing and TGB Promotions, gå till försäljning lördag, Februari 23, and can be purchased at the Armory athttp://Armorymn.com/ Och genom Ticketmaster.

“Quillin vs. Truax is a true 50-50 matchup of former world champions looking to put themselves in position to grab another world title,” sade Leon Margules, VD för Warriors Boxning. “Truax will have the hometown crowd in Minnesota behind him, but Quillin has fought at the highest level against top competition for years. It has all the makings of a dramatic fight, and combined with the Derevyanchenko vs. Culcay middleweight eliminator, it’s going to make for an action packed night at the Armory and on FS1 and FOX Deportes.”

“Both of these are fantastic matchups because there are championship implications on the line,” sa Tom Brown, President för TGB Kampanjer. “That adds to the motivation for each of the guys stepping into the ring. For Qullin and Truax, they both know what it means to be a world champion and this is their opportunity to return to that status. There is always a lot of energy in the Armory for these types of matches and that really carries over to the FS1 and FOX Deportes broadcast for those watching at home. It promises to be a very entertaining evening for all boxing fans.” 

A former middleweight champion, Quillin (34-1-1, 23 Kos) delivered in his second bout at super middleweight, defeating J’Leon Love last August by unanimous decision. Born in Chicago and raised Michigan, Quillin has called Brooklyn, N.Y.. home throughout a pro career that saw him win a world title against Hassan N’Dam in 2012 and defend it three times. His only loss came to Daniel Jacobs in 2015 after battling former champion Andy Lee to a draw earlier that year.

“I’m approaching this fight very seriously because I know Truax is a durable guy who knows how to fight,” Said Quillin. “He comes from a background where people don’t give him credit for what he’s done, and those are the most dangerous guys. I’m no stranger to fighting in my opponent’s backyard. My job is to go into the ring and go home with the win. I’m looking to walk away with some of his fans on my side by winning the fight and putting on a great performance.”

Fighting out of Osseo, Minnesota, Truax (30-4-2, 19 Kos) pulled off one of 2017’s biggest upsets when he traveled to London to defeat James DeGale and become a 168-pound world champion. The 35-year-old lost a hard-fought rematch to DeGale in 2018 and most recently scored a third-round stoppage of Fabiano Soares at the Armory in August.

“Peter Quillin is someone I’ve wanted to fight since I first sparred with him in 2012,” Said Truax. “I walked away from that experience confident that I could get the job done if we were ever matched together. The fact that it’s taking place at home in Minnesota is even better because my fans are going to give me a huge advantage. My goal is to get back into title contention and win my second world title.”

EN 2008 Olympian for his native Ukraine, Derevyanchenko (12-1, 10 Kos) has made his home in Brooklyn, N.Y.. since turning pro in July 2014. The 33-year-old was unbeaten in his first 12 slagsmål, earning a world title fight with a final-round stoppage of Tureano Johnson in 2017. He most recently dropped a narrow split-decision to Daniel Jacobs in a middleweight title fight in October.

Culcay (25-3, 13 Kos) is originally from Ecuador, spent much of his career fighting out of Germany, and now lives in Florida. He enters this bout on a three-fight winning streak after picking up a trio of wins in 2018. He had previously held an interim 154-pound titles before losing close decisions against Demetrius Andrade and Maciej Sulecki.

Representing his hometown of Brooklyn, N.Y., Colbert (10-0, 3 Kos) has begun to make a name for himself showing off tremendous skills across his first 10 pro victories. The 22-year-old most recently dominated Josh Hernandez on FS1 in January and he will return to fight at The Armory for the second time after defeating then unbeaten Austin Dulay on FS1 last April.

Fans can live stream the fights on the FOX Sports app, available in English or Spanish through the FOX, FS1 eller FOX deporterar flöden. The fights are available on desktop atFOXSports.com and through the app store, eller anslutna enheter inklusive Äppel -tv, Android TV, Eld TV, Xbox One och Roku.

MIAMI, OK. (Augusti 25, 2017) – Sergiy Derevyanchenko (11-0, 9 Kos) remained unbeaten as he stopped Tureano Johnson (20-2, 14 Kos) i 12th and final round of their middleweight world title eliminator that headlined a special Friday night edition of Premier Boxning Champions TOE till tå TISDAG på FS1 och Boxning Champions på FOX Sports
Derevyanchenko put himself in line for a world title shot with an impressive stoppage of the durable contender Johnson in their bout from Main Street – in front of historic Coleman Theater – i Miami, Oklahoma.
“Jag är väldigt nöjd med min prestation,” said Derevyanchenko. “I did exactly what we worked on in training and broke him down to get the knockout.”
“Jag är mycket besviken,” said Johnson. “But I give a lot of credit to Derevyanchenko and congratulate him on his performance i kväll.”
Johnson was aggressive from the start, positioning himself right in front of his opponent while trying to throw punches from orthodox and southpaw stances. Derevyanchenko was able to sustain the pressure and use a steady jab to create enough space to unload big power shots on Johnson.
The third round saw Derevyanchenko’s offense break through as he was able to land multiple punches to the head while Johnson could only try to cover up. After falling behind in the first half of the fight, Johnson upped the aggression in rounds six and seven and was able to have more success landing series of hooks through Derevyanchenko’s own offense.
Emellertid, in round eight Derevyanchenko returned to relying on his jab and was once again able to create the space to land strong shots and got the best of multiple exchanges. Derevyanchenko continued to show off impressive combos until finally breaking down Johnson for good in the 12th round with a ferocious combination that included three clean left hooks to the head.
“He was very tough and took a lot of punches,” said Derevyanchenko. “Maybe the fight could have been stopped earlier but I was always ready to go the distance.”
Johnson was sent down and referee Gary Ritter immediately called a halt to the bout 40 seconds into the final round.
“I’m ready to fight the winner of Golovkin vs. Canelo for the title,” said Derevyanchenko. “I think that Golovkin will win and I look forward to fighting him next.”
The co-main event of the telecast saw once-beaten Hugo Centeno Jr. (26-1, 14 Kos) deliver a highlight reel knockout of previously undefeated Immanuel Aleem (17-1, 10 Kos) in the third round of their middleweight matchup.
Centeno Jr. looked to use his 6’1″ frame to hurt Aleem from a distance as he circled the ring and stayed on the outside until attacking with a combination. Aleem came out dedicated to throwing huge left hooks to the body and worked to stay on the inside against the taller opponent.
Aleem upped the aggression in the second and third rounds, but Centeno Jr. stayed calm and slowly began to time the charging Aleem. A Centeno uppercut in round two was the first shot that got the attention of Aleem, who was coming in to this bout off of a knockout victory over Ievgen Khytrov in a Fight of the Year candidate from January.
Late in the third round, Centeno Jr. landed a perfect left hook on the button just as Aleem tried to throw his own left hand and sent Aleem crashing to the canvas. Referee Gerald Ritter counted Aleem out as the fight was officially ended 2:27 into the round and Centeno walked away with a victory that will likely garner Knockout of the Year consideration.

“I was so happy to be back in the ring,” said Derevyanchenko. “I felt very good in there. Once I got going and sped it up, he couldn’t keep up with me. I’m ready to take on anyone.”
The unbeaten Russian, who fights out of Brooklyn, was at a major height disadvantage against the six-foot Russell, who attempted to control the fight with his jab from a distance. This led to a slow-paced fight early, which seemed to favor the taller boxer.
Derevyanchenko would eventually find the distance as he used double left hooks and feints to work inside Russell’s jab. Round four saw the two men begin to exchange in more flurries dangerous on the inside, with Russell taking the brunt of the damage.
Now fully settled into the fight, Derevyanchenko began to unload in round five and connected on a huge straight right hand that rocked Russell’s head back and put his opponent in immediate peril. Derevyanchenko pounced on the opportunity and began landing big shots in succession until referee Bill Clancy jumped-in to stop the fight 1:06 into the fifth-round.
The co-main event of the night saw undefeated prospect Ahmed Elbiali (15-0, 12 Kos) make quick work of Brazil’s Jackson Junior (20-8, 19 Kos) as he scored a first round knockout just1:33 sekunder in i första omgången.
Elbiali was returning from a 14-month layoff after recovering from a broken hand, but he wasted no time trading big punches. Both men were aggressive early on and dealt big hooks from the opening bell.
Working off of his jab, Elbiali caught Junior in a defensive crouch and connected with a perfect overhand right to the temple that sent Junior to the canvas. Junior was able to get to his feet but was deemed unable to continue by the referee, who called a halt to the bout 1:33 i det runda.
The opening bout of the telecast saw unbeaten prospect Jamontay Clark (11-0, 7 Kos) stop a game Gaku Takahashi (15-7-1, 7 Kos) after seven rounds of action in their welterweight bout.
Cincinnati’s Clark survived an early stumbled as Takahashi connected with a jab that stunned and stumbled Clark midway through the first round. Clark was able to regain his footing and use his jab as his primary mode of attack.
The southpaw Clark began timing Takahashi with left hands and right hooks and was able to control the action each round. Takahashi attempted to match Clark’s punch output, specifically targeting his opponent to the body, but was unable to land enough clean blows.
Takahashi came out aggressive in round seven and initiated several big exchanges. It was Clark who got the better of these moments, hitting Takahashi with a big left hand late in the round that left his opponent temporarily stunned, although able to return to his corner. Takahashi’s corner had seen enough however and called an end to the fight at the end of the seventh round.

On bouncing back from an injured hand…
“It was a difficult time for me being out of the ring for over a year with my hand injury. The good news is I’m 100% healthy and my hand feels great. I had a lot of time to reflect on what I need to improve on so that’s what I focused on while I was out. I stayed in great shape the whole time. I just want to get in the ring and shake off the rust.”
