“This show on August 12 is jam-packed with action for boxing fans as they will get an exciting world title clash in addition to some of the area’s top rising talent in tough contests live on SHOWTIME,», είπε ο Τομ Μπράουν, Πρόεδρος της TGB Προσφορές. “Emmanuel Rodriguez is hungry to make a second run as world champion at bantamweight and will be given all he can handle by the red-hot Melvin Lopez. With two of Maryland’s top rising stars in Gary Antuanne Russell and Travon Marshall stepping in for separate bouts before that showdown, this lines up to be a can’t-miss card at MGM National Harbor.”

Fighting out of Manati, Πουέρτο Ρίκο, Rodríguez(21-2, 13 KOs) defeated the previously unbeaten Gary Antonio Russell last October by technical decision to put himself back into position to fight for the world title. The 30-year-old originally won the IBF Bantamweight World Title with a unanimous decision victory over Paul Butler in 2018 and successfully defended it against the then-unbeaten Jason Moloney. Rodríguez went on to lose the title to former undisputed champion Naoya Inoue in their May 2019 title bout.

“I’m happy to have this chance to become a world champion again,»Είπε ο Ροντρίγκεζ. “We’re gonna go out there to win in spectacular fashion and my goal is to show that I’m the best fighter in the world at 118-pounds. My goal is to become undisputed at bantamweight, however I’m not overlooking Melvin Lopez, because he’s a good fighter and will come to give it his all on August 12.”

The 25-year-old Lopez (29-1, 19 KOs) has won eight-straight fights since suffering his only career loss in October 2019. Originally from Nicaragua and now fighting out of Miami, Lopez has fought professionally since 2015 and began competing stateside in 2018. Lopez scored three victories in 2022, starting the year with knockouts of Juan Gabriel Medina and Victor Ruiz, before most recently defeating Jobert Alvarez last December. Out of his last 10 νίκες, Lopez has ended nine of those inside of the distance.

“I’m very excited that the time is almost here to fight for a world title,"Είπε ο Λόπεζ. “We’ve had a great training camp and everyone has sacrificed and worked hard so that we’re at our best on August 12. I’m going to show everyone why I earned this opportunity and repay my team for all of their efforts. I have a lot of respect for Emmanuel, but the best man will have his hand raised when we share the ring.”


Fighting out of his native Capitol Heights, Md., Russell (16-0, 16 KOs) will carry on the legacy left by his late father Gary Sr. A member of one of the sport’s preeminent fighting families, Russell trains alongside his older brothers, former WBC Featherweight Champion Gary Jr. and bantamweight contender Gary Antonio. The 26-year-old has yet to allow an opponent to make it to the final bell since turning pro in 2017 following his run representing the U.S. at the Rio 2016 Θερινοί Ολυμπιακοί Αγώνες. Russell defeated his most accomplished foes to date in 2022, stopping former champion Viktor Postol in February before a TKO win against former two-division champion Rances Barthelemy in July.

“When you’re a student of the game like me, you have to consider that each step we take is about more than self-gratification. We’re doing this for keeps,»Είπε ο Ράσελ. “Kent Cruz has to catch up to me, but there’s no need for me to look back. The only direction I’m going is forward and that means putting on a spectacular performance on August 12, and proving I’m the next world champion in this division.”

The 30-year-old Cruz (16-0-3, 10 KOs) steps back into the ring after a pair of draws against fellow unbeaten Enriko Gogokhia in February and then November 2022. A native of St. Louis, Μο, Cruz defeated veterans Erik Humberto Castillo and Travis Hartman following a draw against Carlos Mohamed Rodriguez in April 2018. Cruz will pick up his past ring history with the Russell family on August 12, looking to avenge an amateur loss to Gary Allan Russell, Gary Antuanne’s older brother.

“I’m very excited for this fight on August 12,” said Cruz. “I’ve been waiting for a fight like this my whole career, so we didn’t hesitate when offered this one. I’m coming in as the underdog and that’s what’s fueling me. I’ve been an underdog my whole life and on August 12 I’m gonna shock the world. When I win this fight, I’ll be in contention to fight for a world title and have my chance to achieve my childhood dream.”

At just 22-years-old, Μάρσαλ (8-0, 7 KOs) has quickly shown the skill, power and poise to become a highly regarded prospect in just eight fights. Born in Landover, Md., and now fighting out of Capitol Heights, Md., Marshall is trained by former contender Andrew Council and has already scored two stoppages in 2023. Most recently he dominated veteran contender Justin DeLoach via third-round knockout in March, his most impressive victory to date.

“I’m really excited to be fighting at home in front of my family, friends and fans on August 12,” said Marshall. “I’m working hard every day in the gym so that when fight night comes I’m 100% and ready to put on a great performance for everyone watching. My goal is to show everyone that I belong on the big stage, and that starts with a victory over Gabriel Maestre.”

A two-time Olympian for his home country of Venezuela, Maestre (5-0-1, 4 KOs) had an extensive amateur run that included victories over Brian Castano, Carlos Adames, Alexander Besputin, Oscar Molina and Brian Ceballo. The 36-year-old made his U.S. debut with a controversial decision victory over Mykal Fox in August 2021 before fighting fellow unbeaten Taras Shelestyuk to a draw last March. Πιο πρόσφατα, Maestre defeated former two-division champion Devon Alexander after three rounds in April.

“I’m very ready for this fight against Travon Marshall,” said Maestre. “We are focused on the work that we need to put in so that we are victorious on August 12. I’m focused on having my hand raised and putting on a good show. We want to leave a good impression with the fans and move on to fight the big names in the welterweight division.”

TERRELL Gausha: “WE’RE GOING TO GIVE TIM TSZYU A DIFFERENT LOOK THAN HE’S EVER SEEN BEFORE”

Super Welterweight Contender Gausha Faces Unbeaten Rising Star Tim Tszyu in SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING®

Main Event Saturday, Μάρτιος 26 from The Armory in Minneapolis

LOS ANGELES – March 17, 2022 - Η.Π.Α.. Olympian and super welterweight contenderTerrell Gaushais confident that he’ll be spoiling the stateside debut of unbeaten rising starTim Tszyuwhen they square off on Saturday, Μάρτιος 26 ζουν σε SHOWTIME® headlining a Premier Boxing Champions event from The Armory in Minneapolis.

“We’ve been working on some different things for this fight,” said Gausha. “We’re going to give Tim Tszyu a different look than he’s seen before. Compared to most of the fights that everyone has seen, they’re going to see something new from me on March 26.”

Tszyu, the son of Hall of Fame fighter Kostya Tszyu, will be making his much-anticipated debut in the U.S. against Gausha, after dominating his first 20 fights in his native Australia. For the Cleveland native Gausha, his motivation comes from within and not from the hype surrounding Tszyu entering this matchup.

“I’m just motivated period,” said Gausha. “It’s got nothing to do with any hype around Tszyu. It has everything to do with where I’m at in my life and my career. Things are happening at the right time for me. I’m in a good place. This is the perfect fight for me at this point in my career.

“I appreciate him for taking this challenge. Most other fighters would try to protect their record. This shows that he believes in himself. He wants the tough fights. Τούτου λεχθέντος, I think he took the wrong fight.”

Gausha scored an impressive knockout over young contender Jamontay Clark in his last fight, stopping his opponent in round two in March 2021, and will look to build on that triumph against a bigger name in Tszyu.

“That was a good fight for me against Clark,” said Gausha. “I wanted to get right back in the ring, but sometimes it’s hard to make fights with certain guys. I have a great opportunity against Tszyu and I’m looking to capitalize and build off of my last performance. I’m going to make an even bigger splash in this fight.”

Training in Los Angeles with Manny Robles and Prenice Brewer, Gausha has received excellent sparring leading up to fight night, having shared the ring with 154-pound champion Brian Castaño, welterweight contender Vergil Ortiz and 2020 Η.Π.Α.. Olympian Delante Johnson. While Gausha expects Tszyu to display his typical come forward style, he plans to be ready for anything that his opponent presents.

“I expect Tim to try to bring pressure and come forward,” said Gausha. “He’s a one-trick pony. What you see is what you get. He doesn’t do too many things spectacularly, but what he does do well, he does it very well, and that’s bring the pressure. We have something ready for that and we’re going to do our thing no matter what he tries to do.”

Gausha previously challenged for the 154-pound world title in losing a 2017 decision against Erislandy Lara and also owns a decision defeat to Erickson Lubin and a draw against former champion Austin Trout. Τώρα, Gausha will look to catapult himself right back into the title picture with a victory on March 26.

“After everyone sees this performance on March 26, they’re going to know where I fit into this division,” said Gausha. “I’ve got a job to do. Αμέσως, I’m really just starting to show people my skills and what I can do. This is going to solidify that. I’m knocking on the door of a title fight right now. A win over Tszyu would be great for my career and get me to the world titles.”

Ο 23χρονος Κρουζ (22-2-1, 15 KOs) θα επιστρέψει στο ρινγκ αφού απορρίψει μια αγωνιστική απόφαση εναντίον της πρωταθλήτριας τριών τμημάτων Gervonta Davis στο SHOWTIME PPV τον Δεκέμβριο. Με καταγωγή από την Πόλη του Μεξικού, Ο Κρουζ ανέβηκε στην κατάταξη ελαφρών βαρών 2020, ανακοινώνοντας την παρουσία του με ένα συναρπαστικό νοκ άουτ στον πρώτο γύρο επί του βετεράνου Ντιέγκο Μαγδαλένο τον Οκτώβριο.

«Ανυπομονώ να επιστρέψω στο ρινγκ και να αγωνιστώ στο AT&Γήπεδο Τ,", Είπε ο Κρουζ. «Λατρεύω τους οπαδούς στο Τέξας, μου δίνουν πάντα τρομερή υποστήριξη. Υποστηρικτής μου, Manny Pacquiao, έχει πολεμήσει στο Α.Τ&T Stadium πριν και κέρδισε και τις δύο φορές. Είμαι ενθουσιασμένος που ακολουθώ τα βήματά του απέναντι σε έναν πολύ επιτυχημένο πρώην πρωταθλητή στην Γκαμπόα. Έρχομαι για να δείξω στους οπαδούς γιατί είμαι ένας από τους καλύτερους ελαφρούς στον κόσμο και να οδηγήσω τον Γκαμπόα στη σύνταξη στις 16 Απριλίου».

Gamboa (30-4, 18 KOs) είναι πρώην πρωταθλητής ενιαίου φτερού, κατέχουν τους τίτλους IBF και WBA 126 λιβρών μεταξύ 2009 και 2011.

Θα τον δοκιμάσω και θα δω αν μπορεί να σταθεί απέναντι στη δύναμή μου. Έρχομαι για να κερδίσω και να κάνω μια μεγάλη δήλωση ότι έχω ακόμα ό,τι χρειάζεται για να γίνω ξανά πρωταθλητής».

Ο Βαλενζουέλα έκλεισε το ξεπέρασμα του 2021 το Δεκέμβριο, κυριαρχώντας στον Austin Dulay στο δρόμο του για ένα TKO στον τέταρτο γύρο.

«Είναι ένα όνειρο που γίνεται πραγματικότητα να βρίσκεσαι σε υψηλό επίπεδο, στοιβαγμένη κάρτα όπως αυτή,», είπε η Βαλενζουέλα. «Θαύμασα και μελετούσα τον Σπενς για πολύ καιρό, ειδικά επειδή είμαστε και οι δύο αριστεροί. Ανυπομονώ να μπω στο ρινγκ. Δεν παραβλέπω ή υποτιμώ τον Francisco Vargas με κανέναν τρόπο. Περιμένω πυροτεχνήματα. Πάντα τσακώνεσαι όταν δύο Μεξικανοί πολεμιστές έρχονται αντιμέτωποι, οπότε ξέρω ότι οι οπαδοί θα είναι ευχαριστημένοι με αυτό που θα δουν στις 16 Απριλίου».

Μάχη έξω από την Πόλη του Μεξικού, Βάργκας (27-3-2, 19 KOs) κέρδισε έναν τίτλο 130 λιβρών σε 2015 νικώντας τον Takashi Miura σε έναν από τους καλύτερους αγώνες της χρονιάς. Ο 37χρονος θα πάλευε με τον Ορλάντο Σαλίντο σε μια γεμάτη δράση ισοπαλία πριν χάσει τον τίτλο του από τον Μιγκέλ Μπέρχελτ σε μια άλλη αξιομνημόνευτη υπόθεση.. Ο Βάργκας αργότερα νίκησε τους Στίβεν Σμιθ και Ροντ Σάλκα πριν χάσει στη ρεβάνς του με τον Μπέρχελτ μέσα 2019. Πιο πρόσφατα, Ο Βάργκας άρχισε να κάνει εκστρατεία στα ελαφριά, σημειώνοντας συνεχόμενες νίκες επί του Ezequiel Aviles 2019 και ο Otto Gamez μέσα 2020, πριν πάρει μια απόφαση εναντίον του Isaac Cruz στον τελευταίο αγώνα του τον Ιούνιο 2021.

«Είναι τιμή να βρίσκομαι σε ένα τόσο μεγάλο φύλλο με τόσους πολλούς σπουδαίους μαχητές,», είπε ο Βάργκας. «Θα έρθω προετοιμασμένος για αυτόν τον αγώνα και έτοιμος να φύγω από το ρινγκ με μια νίκη. Ξέρω ότι η Βαλενζουέλα θα προσπαθήσει να κάνει μια δήλωση, αλλά έρχομαι να κάνω το ίδιο. Όπως πάντα, οι οπαδοί μπορούν να περιμένουν έναν τεράστιο αγώνα από την αρχή μέχρι το τέλος».

Εκπροσωπώντας την πατρίδα του το Οντάριο, Καναδάς, Κρόουλι (20-0, 9 KOs) επιστρέφει στο ρινγκ μετά από ένα εντυπωσιακό ντεμπούτο στο SHOWTIME τον Δεκέμβριο 2021 που τον είδε να νικάει τον προηγουμένως αήττητο Kudratillo Abdukakhorov με ομόφωνη απόφαση. Ο Κρόουλι είχε νικήσει στο παρελθόν τον Τζος Τόρες τον Σεπτέμβριο 2020 ακολουθώντας α 2019 σερί που τον είδε να κερδίσει έναν καναδικό τίτλο σούπερ welterweight με μια απόφαση 12 γύρων έναντι του Stuart McLellan τον Φεβρουάριο πριν υπερασπιστεί επιτυχώς αυτόν τον τίτλο με μια κυρίαρχη απόφαση έναντι του Mian Hussain τον Οκτώβριο. Ο 28χρονος επέστρεψε για να πολεμήσει στις Η.Π.Α. για τους δύο τελευταίους αγώνες του αφού οι επτά από τους πρώτους οκτώ επαγγελματικούς αγώνες του έγιναν στις Η.Π.Α.

«Μετά τη νίκη μου τον Δεκέμβριο στο SHOWTIME, Είμαι έτοιμος να δεχτώ την επόμενη πρόκληση στο ταξίδι μου για να γίνω πρωταθλητής welterweight του κόσμου,», είπε ο Κρόουλι. «Ο Josesito Lopez είναι πάντα σκληρός και φέρνει ένα συναρπαστικό στυλ στο τραπέζι. Δυστυχώς για αυτόν, θα ανακαλύψει τι 20 μαχητές πριν από αυτόν έχουν μάθει, που είναι ότι δεν θα με εμποδίσουν να πετύχω το πεπρωμένο μου. Θέλω να ευχαριστήσω την ομάδα μου για αυτή την ευκαιρία να δείξω τις ικανότητές μου, καρδιά και αδυσώπητα σε αυτό το υπέροχο φύλλο στο σπίτι των Ντάλας Κάουμπόις».

Lopez (38-8, 21 KOs) κέρδισε το παρατσούκλι "The Riverside Rocky" λόγω του στυλ του στο ρινγκ. Έχει περάσει απέναντι από μερικούς από τους κορυφαίους πυγμάχους του αθλήματος, συμπεριλαμβανομένων των πρωταθλητών Canelo Alvarez, Marcos Maidana, Αντρέ Μπέρτο ​​και Βίκτορ Ορτίθ. Ο 37χρονος από το Ρίβερσαϊντ, Η Καλιφόρνια είναι πάντα σκληρή στο ρινγκ, όπως σημειώνεται από την ήττα με μικρή πλειοψηφία από τον τότε πρωταθλητή Keith Thurman στο 2019. Από εκείνη την απώλεια, Ο Λόπεζ έχει συγκεντρώσει συνεχόμενες νίκες, νικώντας τον Τζον Μολίνα, Jr. και ο Φρανσίσκο Σαντάνα.

«Είμαι πρόθυμος και με πολύ κίνητρο να κάνω πίσω στο ρινγκ και να αποδειχθώ ως ένας από τους καλύτερους μαχητές στον κόσμο,"Είπε ο Λόπεζ. «Περιμένω μια σκληρή πρόκληση από τον Κρόουλι και οι οπαδοί μπορούν να περιμένουν να με δουν στα καλύτερά μου. Είμαι σε εξαιρετική φόρμα και έτοιμος να βάλω τα πάντα στη γραμμή. Σίγουρα θα θέλετε να βεβαιωθείτε ότι δεν θα χάσετε τον αγώνα μου στις 16 Απριλίου».

DEADWOOD, S.D. – March 11, 2022 - Ardreal “Bossman” Holmesfought through injury and survived a tough test in his return to the ring for the first time in 28 months scoring a unanimous 10-round decision overVernon “Sub Zero” Brown στο κύριο γεγονός τηςShoBox: Η νέα γενιά as part of an action-packed tripleheader onSHOWTIME Friday night at the Deadwood Mountain Grand in Deadwood, S.D.

(Full-fight highlights, κλικΕΔΩ)

Ο Φλιντ, Μιχ., middleweight prospect Holmes (12-0, 5 KOs) remained undefeated fighting past the eighth round for the first time in his career even while hurting his left hand sometime in the second round during a flurry of punches. Τα αποτελέσματα ήταν 98-92, 97-93, 96-94 as Holmes seemed to get his second wind as the fight progressed over Chicago’s Brown (13-2, 9 KOs).

(Holmes scores unanimous decision, κλικΕΔΩ)

“I was reborn tonight,” Holmes said. “This performance showed that I still have it in me. I hurt my left hand in the second round. I couldn’t punch how I wanted to. I was in a bunch of pain but I pulled through. Thinking about my family pushed me through the pain.”

The 27-year-old southpaw Holmes had a 194-129 edge in total punches while landing more than 40 τοις εκατό των διατρήσεων δύναμης του. Συνολικά 280 of the combined 323 total punches landed were power punches.

"Ήταν ο καλύτερος άνθρωπος απόψε,” Brown said. “I give it up to him. He studied me. He knew the punches I was going to throw. His corner kept yelling, ‘Watch the right hook.’ He did knock the wind out of me a couple times with body shots. I had to take a second to recover. In the last round, he was catching me with head shots.

“I need to work on my left hand. I need to be like Manny Pacquiao and work on my left hand because guys know I have power in my right hook. But I’m going down to 147. That’s my true weight.”

Holmes said no matter how much Brown hurt him, he was going to push through the pain. “I was rusty. I believe I need another fight to get the rust off. My timing wasn’t there. I’ve been off for like 800 ημέρες, but this fight showed that I have a lot of heart. I want Paul Kroll next. He was talking a lot of junk against me. We have a history in the amateurs. He’s who I want.”

Στο ομο-κύριο γεγονός, heavy-hitting lightweightEdwin De Los Santos (14-1, 13 KOs) scored a devastating second-round knockout againstLuis Acosta (12-1, 11 KOs), who suffered the first loss of his career.Acosta became the 211ου fighter to have his undefeated streak snapped in the 21-year history of the prospect series.

“One-hitter quitter for De Los Santos!"ShoBox αναλυτήςBrian Campbellsaid of De Los Santos’ clean left cross that sent Acosta to the canvas as referee Mark Nelson signaled the end of the fight at 48 seconds in the second round.

“It was a left hand that was just a thing of beauty,” said International Boxing Hall of Famer andShoBoxblow-by-blow announcerBarry Tompkins.

Dominican Republic’s De Los Santos landed 19 punches before scoring the fight-ending knockout in his secondShoBox appearance.

«Είμαι πίσω,” said De Los Santos, who suffered a loss in his first SHOBOX appearance in January to William Foster III. “Everyone was counting me out after the last fight. They thought I was done after the loss to Foster. But I’m back. This is the kind of statement that I should have made last time. Αυτή είναι μια νέα αρχή για μένα. I thought I was going to catch him later in the fight but the opening came early with the straight left. My preparation was just better this time, I was just more focused and better prepared and this was the result. I’m ready for anyone.”

Στο άνοιγμα της τηλεοπτικής εκπομπής, highly regarded prospectGiovanni Márquez (1-0) became the seventh fighter in the history ofShoBoxto make his professional debut on the series, extending the streak to 7-0 in those bouts as Marquez scored a four-round unanimous decision over a gameNelson Morales. Τα αποτελέσματα ήταν 40-36, και 39-37 twice in the welterweight bout.

(Marquez scores unanimous decision, κλικΕΔΩ)

“I felt great,” said Marquez. “I hurt my left hand in the second round on a jab. I think I would have been able to stop him if I hadn’t hurt my hand.”

With his father and trainer, πρώην παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητήςRaul Marquez, barking instructions from his corner, Houston’s Márquez – the 2021 national Golden Gloves 152-pound champion – dominated the welterweight affair, displaying his offensive skills and using his jab and uppercut effectively as the quicker and busier fighter. Marquez landed 30 τοις εκατό του συνόλου των γροθιές του (85 για 280) compared to Morales at 21 τοις εκατό (42 να 201).

“All the attention, it’s really not normal for a 21-year-old,” said the elder Marquez, as he joined Tompkins and Campbell in the booth before the main event. “He handled all the pressure. I’m really proud of my son. I’m very satisfied.”

Added Giovanni: “It was a great experience. He was a tough, durable guy, but I feel like I handled everything, the cameras, all the attention pretty well. I started a little slow but after the first round I settled down and fought my fight. I felt fine without the headgear. We kept bumping heads, but he never hurt me. There was a lot of pressure on me, and I was a little nervous in the leadup to the fight, but once I got into the fight I relaxed and I felt comfortable. Γενικά, it was a great experience.”

Following a competitive first round, the 21-year-old Marquez dominated the second round, his confidence surging with every second that passed against the Dominican-born Morlaes.

“I think I did OK,” said the 30-year-old Dominican Republic-born Morales (2-1) now living in Scranton, Ρα. “My strategy was to go in and box. He cut the ring off and applied good pressure. I can’t say too much because it wasn’t the best of me. He was OK. I’ll be back.”

The six other fighters’ victorious in theirShoBox pro debut include Dominic Breazeale, Μάρκους Μπράουν, Terrell Gausha, Errol Spence Jr., Rau’Shee Warren and Gary Russell, Jr.

International Boxing Hall of Famer Tompkins called the action from ringside alongside former world champion Marquez and renowned combat sports authority Campbell serving as expert analysts. Hall of FamerSteve Farhood was the unofficial scorer. Ο εκτελεστικός παραγωγός ήτανGordon Hall μεRichard Gaughan παραγωγή καιRick Phillips σκηνοθεσία.

The son of former unified champion Kostya, Tim Tszyu (20-0, 15 KOs) has quickly made a name for himself as one of the most promising contenders at 154-pounds. Tszyu headlines on SHOWTIME following in his father’s footsteps after Kostya competed 10 times on the network, including memorable knockouts of Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. and Zab Judah. Fighting out of his native Sydney, Αυστραλία, Tszyu will make his U.S. debut on March 26 after earning his first 20 pro wins in his home country. The 27-year-old went the 12-round distance for the first time in his last fight, dominating Takeshi Inoue on his way to a unanimous decision in November 2021. The decision victory came after Tszyu had put together stoppage wins in eight of his previous ten outings.

“I’m very excited to be fighting in the U.S., ειδικά σε SHOWTIME, where my dad was featured for most of his career,” said Tszyu. “I’m proud and excited to continue on the Tszyu name with SHOWTIME. Once I take care of Gausha, I will be coming for the title.”

Ένα μέλος της 2012 Η.Π.Α.. Ολυμπιακή ομάδα, Gausha (22-2-1, 11 KOs) was born in Cleveland, Ohio but now fights out of Encino, Καλιφόρνια., where he is trained by Manny Robles and Prenice Brewer.

“I’ve been ready for this fight for a long time,” said Gausha. “I came into this game to be a world champion and fight the best. I expect Tim to come in great shape and I’ll also come in my best shape to put on a great fight for the fans. My coaches are getting me prepared perfectly for the kind of fight I need to put on so that I can leave the ring victorious.”

Ριβέρα (22-0, 14 KOs) burst onto the scene in 2019, making his U.S. debut with a victory over Rene Tellez Giron on ShoBox: Η νέα γενιά®. The 23-year-old continued his ascent in 2020, adding a stoppage win against Fidel Maldonado Jr. and a unanimous decision triumph against lightweight contender LaDarius Miller. Rivera carried his dominance into 2021 with three more victories, including a stoppage of Anthony Mercado in February before delivering a highlight-reel knockout of Jon Fernandez in July on SHOWTIME. He most recently scored a shutout unanimous decision over Matias Romero in October.

“This is a great opportunity for me to display my talents once again against a high-quality opponent in Joseph Adorno,"Είπε ο Rivera. “I’m ready to take on anyone willing to challenge me until my time comes to fight for the world title. My goal is to be victorious on March 26 and then face Gervonta Davis for his title. With each fight I’m getting closer to reaching that goal. I can’t wait to show off all the hard work that I’ve put into this camp on fight night.”

Adorno (14-0-2, 12 KOs) has fought to a draw in each of his last two fights, dropping fellow unbeaten Jamaine Ortiz twice in April 2021 after dueling Héctor “Guadaña” García in January 2020. The 22-year-old was born in Union City, New Jersey and now resides in Allentown, Pa., having fought in nearby Philadelphia five times throughout his career. Adorno turned pro in 2016 σε ηλικία 17 after a standout amateur career where he amassed a 178-22 record and beat Shakur Stevenson’s twice. He has scored knockout victories in nine of his first 10 αγώνες υπέρ.

“This fight is a chance for me to show my true talents,” said Adorno. “Not taking anything away from Rivera, but I know I’m going to be the better fighter on March 26. I’m working with a new trainer, Raúl ‘Chino’ Rivas, who has trained many talented fighters, and I’m ready to showcase myself at my very best. I’m more focused than ever and I’m not going to let this opportunity pass me by. Everybody better be ready for a show on March 26.”

Rodríguez (12-1-1, 11 KOs) bounced back from his first career defeat, a majority decision loss to Kenneth Sims Jr., to knockout the previously unbeaten Juan Pablo Romero on the Canelo vs. Plant SHOWTIME PPV® undercard in November. The 26-year-old burst onto the scene with knockout victories in 10 από την πρώτη του 11 fights and put together an impressive five wins in 2020. Originally from Santo Domingo, Δομινικανή Δημοκρατία, Rodríguez now lives in Los Angeles

“March 26 is another step toward my world championship goal,” said Rodríguez. “I am fighting a tough veteran fighter who has faced top-level competition. I’ve stayed in camp through Christmas so that I can be 100% ready for this fight. Winning on March 26 means a lot for my career and I hope that a win will put me in contention for a title shot this year. I want to show the world that I’m ready for the big names in the division.”

The 34-year-old Velasco (23-2, 14 KOs) enters this fight on a three-bout winning streak, having most recently earned a split decision victory over Zachary Ochoa in February 2021. A native of Jujuy, Αργεντινή, Velasco has tangled with some of the toughest fighters in the 140-pound division, including former champions Mario Barrios and Regis Prograis. Velasco will fight in the U.S. for the fifth time on March 26.

“I’m very honored to be on a great card like this,” said Velasco. “This is actually the second time that I’ve been preparing to face Rodríguez, so I know what I’m up against. He’s going to come into the right at 100%, just like I will. May the best man win on March 26.”

Also scheduled for a return to action, Honolulu’s own former Women’s Flyweight World Champion Ilima-Lei Macfarlane (11-1) will return home to compete against Justine Kish (7-5) as the No. 1 ranked women’s flyweight looks to start her journey back to a world title in the same arena two of the most memorable BELLATOR main events in recent memory took place. Opening the four-fight main card is another BELLATOR Bantamweight World Grand Prix quarterfinal matchup between No. 2-ταξινομημένο μικρόσωμο βάρος Patchy Mix (15-1) and former BELLATOR and Rizin Bantamweight World Champion Kyoji Horiguchi (29-4).

Current BELLATOR Bantamweight World Champion Sergio “The Phenom” Pettis sits at No. 7 on the promotion’s pound-for-pound list. He successfully defended his belt for the first time against former BELLATOR 135-pound titleholder Kyoji Horiguchi with a “knockout of the year” style finish at Bellator 272 το Δεκέμβριο. The hard-hitting Midwesterner out of Milwaukee originally captured the crown by outpointing former champion Juan Archuleta. The younger brother of former UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis will be in for one of the toughest fights of his career when he takes on Raufeon Stots. Stots, who used to train alongside Pettis for several years, has been flawless since making his promotion debut in December 2019. He most recently scored a dominant unanimous decision victory over Magomed Magomedov at Bellator 264.

Featherweight world champion and top-ranked women’s pound-for-pound fighter Cris “Cyborg” has made three straight title defenses including a second-round submission of Arlene Blencowe in 2020, which surprisingly is the lone submission victory of her storied career. The Brazilian native who currently fights out of Las Vegas, Νεβάδα. is a “Grand Slam Champion” having won belts in four different organizations. She sports 20 wins by finish with victories over elite competition including Holly Holm, Leslie Smith (δυο φορές), Gina Carano and aims to further her legacy as the greatest women’s mixed martial artist of all time in the rematch versus Blencowe. Australia’s Blencowe is BELLATOR’s No. 6 pound-for-pound female fighter and the No. 1 κατατάσσεται featherweight. She has won five of her last six fights and earned her shot at the world title rematch with a unanimous decision over Pam Sorenson at BELLATOR 271 το Νοέμβριο.

Currently BELLATOR’s No. 2 ταξινομημένο μικρόσωμο βάρος, Patchy Mix recently defeated James Gallagher via submission in his last outing at BELLATOR 270 στο Δουβλίνο. Mix has made a name for himself in the BELLATOR cage by displaying impressive submissions and his lone professional loss came to former champion Juan Archuleta. He now faces Horiguchi, another former world champion who hails from Takasaki, Ιαπωνία. The American Top Team prodigy Horiguchi became a simultaneous, two-promotion champion in 2019 after he upset then-BELLATOR champion Darrion Caldwell while also holding the RIZIN Championship. After he was forced to relinquish his BELLATOR title due to an injury, Horiguchi nearly got his hands back on BELLATOR’s title but was stopped by current champion Sergio Pettis in December. The No. 5 ranked bantamweight now aims to get back in the winning column and recapture his belt, along with the million-dollar prize that awaits the winner of the BELLATOR Bantamweight World Grand Prix.

ORLANDO, Fla. – February 18, 2022 - Jamaine “The Technician”Ortiz used his superior hand and foot speed to dance and dish out punishment against gameNahir Albright to win the vacant NABF title in the main event ofShoBox: Η νέα γενιά as part of an action-packed doubleheader onSHOWTIME Friday night at the Caribe Royale Resort.

Ortiz (15-0-1, 8 KOs) sailed to a unanimous decision win by scores of 98-92, 97-93 και 97-93 to remain undefeated and stamp his name as a player in a loaded lightweight division. Κάντε κλικΕΔΩ to watch video of the decision.

Whether he was walking Albright (14-2, 7 KOs) down or punching on the move, Ortiz produced a dominant and flashy performance over 10 γύρους, wowing a crowd that included former light heavyweight championAntonio Tarver and San Francisco 49ers All-Pro offensive linemanTrent Williams. Κάντε κλικΕΔΩ to watch highlights of the ninth round.

After he was dropped twice in his last fight against Joseph Adorno in a majority draw in April, Ortiz looked more poised and patient in the early going, picking his punches carefully and hitting and moving while avoiding Albright’s big right hand.

As the difference in speed became apparent, Ortiz began to open up in the second after he scored with a big left that caught Albright clean. Από αυτό το σημείο, Ortiz maintained control of the distance and pace, leaping at Albright with lefts and rights or peppering him with jabs.

“I think I showed maturity in this fight,” Ortiz said. “I was cautious in the beginning. I didn’t want to get caught like I did in my last fight. After I took the first couple rounds to feel him out, I saw that I could do whatever I wanted in there and I started to get into a groove and let my punches go.”

Ortiz, του Worcester, Μάζα., προσγειώθηκε 48% (103 του 216) από διατρήσεις δύναμης του, σε σύγκριση με 41% for Albright (88 του 216), but it was his body punching that produced the biggest numerical disparity. Ortiz out-landed Albright 42 να 4 to the body, showcasing that aspect of his game in the fifth round when he found a home for several thudding body shots. Afterward, Ortiz called out the power-puncher Rolly Romero (14-0, 12 KOs) as the opponent he wants to face next.

“He’s got a big name,” Ortiz said. “He’s a big puncher, but he can’t box. That would be an easy fight. My goal is to have a title eliminator and to win a title. Μετά από αυτό, my goal is to be one of the top pound-for-pound fighters in the sport.”

Ortiz’s signature round was the sixth, when he showcased his footwork and speed, darting around the ring and landing rights and lefts. He connected with an overhand right on the run while New Jersey’s Albright was on the ropes and then landed several unanswered right uppercuts to punctuate the round.

Albright, an aspiring R&B singer, showed his toughness and resilience by trying to match Ortiz’s output each round. He had success in spurts, but it was fleeting. In the ninth, he landed a pair of overhand rights, only for Ortiz to use his footwork to avoid taking further punishment.

“He was the better man in there tonight,” an emotional Albright said. “It was a great experience and I saw a different look. I know that I have all the talent and ability, and this will not deter me at all from being a world champion.”

Στο άνοιγμα της τηλεοπτικής εκπομπής, Paul Kroll καιMarquis Taylor fought to a spirited split draw in their eight-round super welterweight bout by scores of 77-75 for Kroll, 80-72 for Taylor and 76-76 in a verdict that frustrated both fighters. Κάντε κλικΕΔΩ to watch video of the decision.

Before the bout, Philly’s Kroll spoke of the little respect he had for Taylor’s power, since Taylor only had one knockout on his ledger, but it was Taylor who was the harder and busier puncher in the contest, relying on a check left hook that continually found its mark.

Houston’s Taylor connected on 34% of his power punches compared to 29% for Kroll, outscoring him 98 να 71 and out-landing him 109 να 84 in total punches.

Taylor (12-1-2, 1 KO) staggered Kroll (9-0-1, 6 KOs) in the sixth with the biggest punch of the fight, a left that caused Kroll to fall against the ropes as Taylor followed up with digging shots to the body.

“I thought I had it for sure,” Taylor said. “I thought I had the fight in the bag. I don’t know what the judges saw. I was being the aggressor and I landed the clearer shots. I thought I really had that fight with no questions. I don’t know what else I could’ve done.”

The busier and fresher fighter, Taylor didn’t sit in between rounds and at times had to be restrained by his trainer from running to the middle of the ring before his minute of rest was up.

Normally a patient and technically sound fighter, Kroll, a former amateur star who won the 2016 Η.Π.Α.. Ολυμπιακή δοκιμές, went after Taylor in the first, throwing a wild right hand that continually missed its mark.

Kroll fought well in spurts and with urgency in the eighth and final round, but Taylor was ready for him.

“I thought I won the fight 5-3,” Kroll said. “I took the beginning and the end. He won a couple rounds in the middle. We can run it back on the next ShoBox. I am ready to fight him again. He was awkward, but I outworked him on the inside. I won that fight.”

Διεθνές Boxing Hall of FamerBarry Tompkins called the action from ringside alongside former world championRaul Marquez and renowned combat sports authorityBrian Campbell υπηρετούν ως ειδικός αναλυτές. Hall of FamerSteve Farhood was the unofficial scorer. Ο εκτελεστικός παραγωγός ήτανGordon Hall μεΠλούσια Gaughan παραγωγή καιRick Phillips σκηνοθεσία.

The 25-year-old Colbert held the workout at the NYC Cops & Kids Boxing Club where he began his boxing journey, from his decorated days in the amateur ranks, to his burgeoning pro career. Here is what Colbert had to say about training camp, his February 26 opponent and more:

CHRIS COLBERT

“He’s going to learn firsthand how dangerous I am. I’m not worried about anything he brings to the ring. I love when people think that power is going to save them against me.

“I don’t have to live up to the ‘Primetime’ name, that’s just me. That’s who I am. People know who I am. I just have a job to do and I’m going to do it on February 26.

“I don’t really know anything about Garcia. I know he’s got two arms and two legs, and beyond that I expect him to bring his A-game, because he has to against me. There’s no way that I’m letting him come in as a late replacement and beat me.

“I spent most of training camp with Coach Aureliano Sosa and Herman Caicedo at Caicedo Sports down in Miami, but with the change of opponent I made the decision to come back to my gym in Brooklyn because we have three lefties in the gym up here.

“The only real difference for this camp is that I have a nutritionist now, so they’ve got me on a strict diet and I’m just more focused than ever. The other thing about this camp is that I was originally supposed to fight in mid-December, but then it got pushed back to now. So we went through two camps basically. It’s been about a 14-week camp in total.

“We went down to Miami mainly because of the weather, and because of our connection with Coach Herman. I hate the cold up north. And then they’ve also got a lot of quality sparring partners for me down in Miami and they gave me some good work to get me ready for this fight.

“I’m all about making adjustments. I’ve had opponent replacements happen before, and I know this is part of the business of boxing. I just have to roll with the punches, make lemonade out of these lemons and do what I do on February 26.

“I don’t fight for the belts. I fight for the money and my legacy. I still have a job to do next Saturday. I’m still getting paid. After I win, I get to fight again soon for the belt and get paid again for that fight.”
