NOVA YORK (Març 28, 2016)- A three-fight series to crown a unified divisional champion will begin on Dissabte, Abril 30, when WBC 168-pound champion Badou Jack defends his title against former longtime titlist Lucian Bute, and IBF Champion James DeGale risks his belt against mandated challenger Rogelio Medina en una SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING doubleheader live onTEMPS DE LA FUNCIÓ (10 p.m. I/7 p.m. PT) des DC Armory a Washington D.C.
The winners will meet in a super middleweight world-title unification fight later this year.
Gat (20-1-1, 12 KOs) will make his second title defense after a breakthrough 2015 campaign in which he won the WBC belt from Anthony Dirrell and successfully defended against George Groves. The southpaw Bute (32-3, 25 KOs), a former IBF champion with nine defenses between 2007 i 2012, revived his career last November with a gutsy and inspired performance against DeGale.
“I’ve been training really hard for this fight and I’m excited to get in the ring,” va dir Jack. “I can’t wait to defend my title once again on Abril 30. The fans can expect to see an explosive and skillful performance from me come fight night. I believe I’m the best super middleweight in the world and that I have the skills to beat anyone I get in the ring with. I’m fully focused on Lucian Bute, but I know that a win can set up a massive fight against James DeGale and I’m going to deliver.”
“I’m thrilled to have this tremendous opportunity,” Said Bute. “I was ringside for Badou Jack’s last two fights — well deserved world title wins. He is a great champion. I plan to train hard and be in the best shape of my career on Abril 30. It’s my chance to win the WBC belt and become two-time world champion. I will win and give boxing fans a spectacular fight.”
Degale (22-1, 14 KOs) will make his second title defense after an impressive 2015 in which he defeated Andre Dirrell to win the vacant IBF belt and topped Bute in a Fight of the Year candidate. The hard-hitting Medina (35-6, 29 KOs), the IBF’s mandatory challenger, has knocked out three consecutive opponents.
“I am delighted to be defending my world title on another great show in the United States,” va dir DeGale. “I won my belt in style in Boston and I’m looking forward to moving down the East Coast to the great city of Washington, D.C. It’s going to be a defining night in the super middleweight division as Badou Jack and myself look to set up a huge fight later in the year. I’m fully focused on Rogelio Medina. He’s a tough Mexican who earned his title shot. Però confia en mi, no one is getting my world title.”
“This is such a great opportunity for me and I can’t wait to get in the ring,” va dir la Medina. “I’ve worked so hard for this and I am going to make the most of it. Everyone who has seen me fight knows I leave it all in the ring and you can expect to see an all-out battle on Abril 30. Vaig a ser el nou campió del món.”

“Mayweather Promotions is proud to bring another exciting night of boxing to the great boxing fans in my hometown of Washington, D.C.,” va dir Leonard Ellerbe, CEO de Mayweather Promotions. “I’m really excited about the Badou Jack vs. Lucian Bute fight. Serà una gran baralla. We know Bute is tough as nails and he’s coming to take the title away from Badou. Badou is going to have to be at his best to be able to beat Bute that night. The winner of that fight will set up a spectacular unification fight with the winner of the fight between British champion James DeGale and Mexican brawler ‘Porky’ Medina. DeGale can’t take Medina lightly if he wants the unification bout. It’s going to be a thrilling night of action at the DC Armory and on SHOWTIME.”
Badou Jack “El Esbudellador”, of Las Vegas by way of Stockholm, Suècia, captured the WBC 168-pound crown with a 12-round majority decision over previously unbeaten defending champion Anthony Dirrelllast Abril 24. A former amateur standout who represented Gambia in the 2008 Jocs Olímpics, Jack retained his belt against former world title challenger George Groves last Set. 12 on the undercard of Floyd Mayweather’s final fight. Gat, who fights under the Mayweather Promotions banner, was an underdog against both Dirrell and Groves. El 6-peus-1, 32-year-old has won four in a row since a shocking first-round knockout loss to Derek Edwards in February 2014.
Bute, de Mont-real, Canada by way of Romania, has been a super middleweight mainstay for the last decade. He has competed in 12 title fights since 2007, scoring seven knockouts in nine consecutive defenses of the IBF belt he won in 2007 in his adopted hometown of Montreal. During his title reign, the 36-year-old defeated the likes of Glen Johnson, Librado Andrade and Jean-Paul Mendy, but he lost the belt to Carl Froch in 2012 and a string of injuries kept him largely inactive over the next three years. Bute returned from a 19-month absence in August 2015 under new trainer Howard Grant, knocking out Andrea Di Luisa to set up the title shot against DeGale for the crown he once held. Bute stalked the switch-hitting DeGale with a relentless attack, turning in his most impressive performance in years in a close decision loss.
James “Gruixuda” Degale, de Londres, Anglaterra, won the vacant IBF belt in his U.S. debut last May by dropping Andre Dirrell twice on his way to a unanimous decision. La 2008 Olympic Gold Medalist then successfully defended it last November in a thrilling shootout with hometown favorite and former titlist Lucian Bute. El de 30 anys, who’s only blemish came in a majority decision in his 11º bout against then-unbeaten George Groves, will make his third consecutive start outside his native England as he looks to become a global power at 168 lliura.
Rogelio “Porky” Medina és una veterana contundent 30 nocauts en el seu 36 victòries de carrera. He’s knocked out three consecutive opponents, including a shocking third-round knockout of then-undefeated J’Leon Love in August, 2014. Medina, 27, has suffered six losses in 42 baralles, tot i que aquestes derrotes van arribar contra oponents amb un balanç combinat de 187-16-3, incloent quatre lluitadors invictes anteriorment.

Mashantucket, Connecticut (Març 15, 2016) – Gary Russell Jr.. will return to the ring to defend his WBC Featherweight World Title against Irish contender Patrick Hyland a Dissabte, Abril 16, viure TEMPS DE LA FUNCIÓ® (11 p.m. I/8 p.m. PT) des del Foxwoods Resort Casino en Mashantucket, Connecticut.
En la baralla co-estel·lar per SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING, undefeated IBF Super Featherweight World Champion Jose Pedraza will defend against mandatory challenger Stephen Smith.
Russell Jr. (26-1, 15 KOs) will be making the first defense of his featherweight world title that he earned after stopping defending champion Jhonny González in the fourth-round last March. He was set to defend last November, but was forced to withdraw due to a training injury. If he can get by the extremely motivated Hyland (31-1, 15 KOs), Russell Jr. is in line for big fights with fellow champions and top contenders such as Leo Santa Creu, Llegeix Selby, Abner Mars i Carl Frampton.
“I’m excited about being back in the ring,” said Russell. “It’s been a year because of an injury, but I’m feeling great and more ready than ever. I’ll be prepared for anything. I’m looking forward to meeting Mr. Hyland on the 16th and I’m ready to prove I’m the best featherweight in the world.”
“This is a fantastic opportunity to fight for the WBC title, one of the belts that I’ve always wanted to hold,” va dir Hyland. “It means the world to me to be fighting for this title against a real champion like Gary Russell Jr. I think he’s a great fighter who does everything well so I have to be at my best on fight night. But I know I can beat him and take that belt home to Ireland. I’m just a lad from Jobstown in Tallaght who works hard and loves the fight game. I’ve been trained all my life by my father, may God rest him, and to win a world title will make all of his hard work and effort worthwhile.”
Pedraza (21-0, 12 KOs) won his 130-pound world title last June when he dominated Andrey Klimovto capture the vacant belt, and he successfully defended it last October in an exciting battle againstEdner Cherry. Both bouts aired on SHOWTIME. Now he faces the mandatory challenger in Herrero(23-1, 13 KOs), qui ha guanyat 11 straight bouts and may present the toughest challenge of Pedraza’s burgeoning career.
“I am in excellent condition, had an extraordinary training camp and am anxious to demonstrate my skills in the ring on April 16,” said Pedraza. “I am truly looking forward to entertaining the fans in attendance and remaining undefeated as I defense my crown against Smith. I am determined to become the next big star out of Puerto Rico.”
“I’ve waited a long time for this opportunity, but the timing couldn’t be better,” va dir Smith. “I’m excited to get the opportunity to win the world title live on Sky Sports in the UK and on SHOWTIME in America. Pedraza is a quality fighter but I know I will do whatever is needed to become world champion on April 16 and I can’t wait.”
Les entrades per a l'esdeveniment en viu, que és promogut per DiBella Entertainment, tenen un preu de $150, $90 i $45 No incloses les despeses i els impostos aplicables de servei i estan a la venda. Les butlletes estan disponibles awww.ticketmaster.com i www.foxwoods.com o visitant el Foxwoods’ Taquilla. Per comprar-los per trucada telefònica a Ticketmaster al (800) 745-3000. The Pedraza vs. Smith bout is promoted in association with Gary Shaw Productions, Universal Promotions and Matchroom Boxing.
“This SHOWTIME doubleheader is a can’t-miss event,” va dir Lou DiBella, Presidentof DiBella Entertainment. “In Russell-Hyland, you have one of the most gifted fighters in all of boxing defending his title against a hungry and tough-as-nails Irishman in the biggest fight of his career. Pedraza is looking to make a statement against Smith, Britain’s number one contender, and to follow in the footsteps of past Puerto Rican superstars.”
A speedy and supremely talented boxer, Russell Jr., was impressive in his fourth-round stoppage of the battle-tested Gonzalez last March. La 2008 U.S. Olympian had scored important victories overVyacheslav Gusev, Juan Ruiz, i Miguel Tamayo before losing a majority decision to Vasyl Lomachenko for the WBO 126-pound title in June 2014. L'esquerrà, de Capitol Heights, Md., was able to return to his winning ways with a unanimous decision over Cristòfor Martín that December prior to his coronation against Gonzalez, whom he dropped three times en route to capturing the title.
Leading into his last fight on Octubre. 10, a Lowell, Missa., Irlanda Hyland was dealing with heavy emotions following the death of his beloved father and longtime trainer, and the birth of his first son. The 32-year-old remained steadfast, fighting in memory of his father to stop David Martinez en el vuitè assalt. It was his fourth consecutive victory since suffering his lone defeat, a close and competitive loss to the unbeaten Javier Fortuna for the interim WBA World Featherweight Title in December 2012. Ara, presented with another world title opportunity, Hyland seeks to honor his father’s legacy by bringing the championship back home.
The switch-hitting former Puerto Rican Olympian Pedraza backed up his “El Franctirador” moniker against Klimov as he picked apart the Russian with superior speed and accuracy on his way to a world title. Pedraza earned a shot at the title in his previous bout with a career-best win over former world title challenger Michael Farenas. The 26-year-old will have title unification on his mind if he can conquer his mandatory opponent on Abril 16.
Part of a fighting family, Smith’s brothers Callum, Liam and Paul all fight professionally at a high level and he hopes to join Liam as a fellow world champion on Abril 16. The 30-year-old has fought professionally since 2008 and his only blemish came against featherweight world champion Lee Selby in 2011. Smith earned his title shot with a sixth-round stoppage of Devis Boschiero al setembre 2015 i estarà fent la seva U.S. debut at Foxwoods.

LLEGENDES

Per Steve Farhood

 

La boxa sense llegendes seria com la religió sense sants.

No hi ha cap fórmula perquè un lluitador avanci d'estrella a superestrella i llegenda. El procés depèn del temps, circumstància, i de vegades només un punt o dos sobre els jutges’ targetes.

I oh, si: Ajuda si un noi realment pot lluitar.

Com ho celebrem 30 anys de boxa a SHOWTIME, ens centrem en un tema diferent cada mes. Durant tot el mes de març, el tema serà Llegendes.

Al 130 anys des de John L. Sullivan a Floyd Mayweather, la boxa ens ha donat allò que altres esports no poden oferir. Considereu:

  • L'Associated Press va votar la derrota de Jack Dempsey per part de Luis Firpo com el millor moment esportiu de la primera meitat del segle XX..
  • La "Lluita del segle" de Frazier-Ali a 1971 va ser fàcilment l'esdeveniment esportiu més esperat de la història.
  • La lluita Mayweather-Pacquiao de l'any passat va generar més de mig milió de dòlars — en una nit!

Les llegendes les fan grans moments … i com responen a aquests moments.

A SHOWTIME, hem presentat tres dècades de llegendes. Aquí teniu un cop d'ull als que compartiran el focus al març.

MARVIN HAGLER: Ja que Vince Lombardi no ho va dir exactament, "El temps no ho és tot, és l'única cosa,"Hagler ho hauria d'haver dit.

Hagler va ser un gran lluitador molt abans de ser una superestrella, però no va ser fins que va lluitar contra Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns, i Sugar Ray Leonard (tres dels últims sis combats de Hagler) que Marvin es va convertir en meravellós.

L'única aparició de Hagler a SHOWTIME, que va ser el primer combat televisat a la xarxa (Març 1986), va ser la darrera victòria de la seva carrera. Invicte acabat 10 any, Hagler s'havia establert com un dels pesos mitjans més grans de la història. I encara que es podria argumentar en retrospectiva que a l'edat 31, el millor lluitador de coll blau estava lleugerament passat del seu millor moment, gran part del que va fer especial a Hagler es va mostrar durant la seva defensa salvatge contra el seu invicte i ferotge rival., Joan Mugabi.

Gairebé tres dècades després de la seva jubilació, Hagler segueix sent el pes mitjà amb els 160 lliures actuals.

SUGAR RAY LEONARD: Si Hagler va florir tard, Leonard era una superestrella abans de donar un cop de puny com a professional.

A mitjans dels anys 70, això és un somriure magnètic, una medalla d'or olímpica, i l'exposició repetida a la televisió en hora de màxima audiència podria servir per a un jove lluitador.

És irònic que Leonard va ser vist inicialment per alguns com una creació acoblada dels mitjans de comunicació. De fet, era tan dur com qualsevol lluitador de principis dels vuitanta, ple d'estrelles. Millor encara, segueix sent el millor lluitador que he cobert 38 anys al ritme de la boxa.

L'aparició de Leonard a SHOWTIME va ser el penúltim combat de la seva carrera. En optar per posar fi a un altre llarg acomiadament, Sugar Ray, 34, va escollir l'excel·lent campió de pes superwelter de 23 anys Terry Norris com a oponent. Leonard va abandonar 160 a 154 lliures i va lluitar al Madison Square Garden per primera vegada.

El combat va servir com a recordatori que almenys en un món anterior a Bernard Hopkins, la boxa era un joc molt jove.

FELIX TRINIDAD: Només hi ha tres lluitadors hispans que es van convertir en superestrelles als EUA sense parlar anglès. El primer va ser el panamà Roberto Duran. El segon va ser el mexicà Julio César Chávez.

La tercera va ser la Trinitat de Puerto Rico.

El lema de Trinitat també podria haver estat, "Si no pots ser d'Amèrica, després vèncer Amèrica".

Un punxador clàssic amb un somriure de boy scout i una personalitat favorable als fans, Trinidad es va fer un nom derrotant quatre U.S. Olímpics, Pernell Whitaker, Oscar De La Hoya (encara que per una decisió terrible), David Reid, i Fernando Vargas.

D'altra banda, Whitaker, De la Hoya, i Reid havien estat tots medallistes d'or.

La lluita en la qual participarem Març 17 a SHO Extreme, Trinitat vs.. Reid, va ser la 14a i última aparició de Trinidad a SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING i SHOWTIME pay-per-view.

Del seu kayo guanyador del títol de pes welter de Maurice Blocker a 1993 mitjançant la seva defensa contra Mahenge Zulu a 1998, 13 de Trinitat 14 els combats es van emetre a SHOWTIME. Dotze d'aquestes baralles van ser victòries per nocaut.

On Trinidad es classifica amb Wilfredo Gomez, Miguel Cotto, Carlos Ortiz, Wilfred Benítez, i la resta de llegendes de Puerto Rico és discutible. El que és indiscutible és que "Tito" va generar tanta il·lusió com qualsevol lluitador de la seva època.

RICARDO LOPEZ: El que és més petit: la possibilitat que un pes de palla (105 lliura) esdevé una estrella de la televisió nord-americana o el mateix lluitador?

Mai hi ha hagut un campió del món nord-americà de pes palla (o pes mínim). Simplement no creixem lluitadors d'aquesta mida. De fet, fins a l'aparició del mexicà López a principis dels 90, la majoria dels aficionats a la boxa nord-americans no haurien pogut identificar un sol pes de palla si estiguessin armats amb un mapa del món i un conjunt de classificacions del CMB.

López era tan complet, tan dominant, tan tècnicament perfecte, que de 1994 al '99, va ser un element bàsic de la programació de boxa de SHOWTIME. Va lluitar 13 combats consecutius a SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING o SHOWTIME Pay-Per-View, i el primer 11 d'aquells concursos eren les defenses del títol de pes palla.

I si creus que els petits no poden punxar, bé, hi havia uns kayos d'un cop esquitxats.

López, que es va retirar amb una marca de 51-0-1, és universalment reconegut com un gran de tots els temps. Llàstima que mai no va lluitar contra l'americà Michael Carbajal en pes mosca lleuger. Si hagués guanyat aquell combat, probablement seria reconegut com un dels dos o tres millors lluitadors mexicans mai.

La qual cosa diu molt per a un lluitador que mai es va enfrontar a un oponent reconegut pel públic espectador nord-americà.

ANAHEIM, Califòrnia. (Febrer. 27, 2016) – Lleó “El Terratrèmol” Santa Creu va defensar el seu campionat mundial de pes ploma de l'AMB de manera convincent en dissabte nit, tombant Kiko “Sensació” Martínez dues vegades a la primera ronda, després, acabant-ho amb una pluja de cops de puny quan es va convocar la baralla 2:09 a la cinquena ronda a la prova principal d'a SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING doble capçalera a Honda Center a Anaheim, Califòrnia.
En la baralla co-estel·lar en TEMPS DE LA FUNCIÓ, 29-anys d'edat Hugo Ruiz (36-3, 31 KOs), Els Mochis, Sinaloa, Mèxic, va recuperar el seu títol mundial de pes súper gallo del CMB amb una derrota primerenca devastadora amb només 51 segons en la lluita de 12 rondes contra un jove de 23 anys Juliol Cella (30-2, 27 KOs) d'Atizapan de Saragossa, Mèxic, en una represa molt esperada de la seva lluita d'agost guanyada per Ceja.
Lluitant just 10 milles a l'oest de la seva ciutat natal de La Habra i abans 7,780 aficionats entusiastes, la Santa Cruz, de 27 anys (32-0-1, 18 KOs) va continuar establint-se com el rei del sud de Califòrnia mentre castigava el joc Martínez, de 29 anys. (35-7, 26 KOs) d'Alacant, València, Espanya, amb 570 cops totals en només cinc rondes. Hi havia 1,038 cops totals llançats durant la baralla.
“Als fans els encanta quan dos lluitadors van cara a cara,” Santa Cruz va dir a SHOWTIME's Jim Gray després de la lluita. “Volia fer una gran lluita als aficionats. Sabia que podia fer-li mal amb la mà dreta. És un lluitador i quan l'han assolit, ell tornarà. A la cinquena ronda vaig saber que havia d'acabar amb ell i ho vaig fer.”
Santa Creu va continuar, “Vam anar cara a cara des del principi. Ell estava llançant bons cops de puny jo estava llançant bons cops de puny i a la gent li encantava. Llavors el meu pare em va dir que frenés i fos més intel·ligent, així que vam començar a boxar.”
Santa Cruz no va perdre el temps agafant el avantatge quan va sonar la campana d'obertura. Va noquear a Martínez dues vegades a la primera ronda; el primer just 23 segons en la lluita i el segon en una mà dreta devastadora als dos minuts de la ronda, provocant un locutor de SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING. Mauro Ranallo dir-ho a un analista expert En Bernstein: “És possible que puguem arribar a Disneyland abans del final de la nit.”
Martínez va caure en un solc a la tercera i quarta ronda, però va tenir problemes dos minuts després de la cinquena ronda quan Santa Cruz el tenia contra les cordes connectant-se en nombrosos cops al cos., uppercuts i combinacions davant l'àrbitre Raul Caiz Sr. va assenyalar el final de la lluita per la segona defensa consecutiva del títol mundial de Santa Cruz al sud de Califòrnia.
Martínez va dir que Santa Creu, “va començar a moure's molt i va trencar la meva estratègia i va lluitar una gran lluita. A la segona volta vaig anar cada cop més fluix i començava a sentir-me molt millor.
“Era com un toro que avançava molt fort,” Santa Cruz va afegir. “Sens dubte ha estat un dels lluitadors més forts amb els quals he estat al ring fins ara.
“Cap al final vaig dir, 'això és, aquesta és la meva oportunitat de derrocar-lo. Si no l'acabo aquí mateix, farà que sigui una lluita molt dura.’ Així que vaig dir que hi anava amb tot i, per sort, va sortir com ho va fer.”
Santa Creu, fent la seva segona defensa després d'aconseguir el títol mundial Abner Mars torna a l'agost, va dir algun dia que vol batre els rècords de la majoria de cops llançats en una baralla. “Volia llançar tants cops com pogués perquè els aficionats poguessin tenir un bon espectacle.”
Santa Cruz ara està mirant un futur possible enfrontament amb el campió del món de 122 lliures de l'IBF Carl Frampton a 126 lliures o Gary Russell. “Estic a favor de qualsevol,” ell va dir. “Vull la represa amb (Abner) Mares. Des que va guanyar Frampton, si està preparat per pujar de pes, Estic preparat per a ell. El desafio a lluitar sempre que estigui preparat.”
En una represa del títol mundial de pes súper gallo WBC que va perdre l'agost passat, el nou campió de 122 lliures Ruiz va millorar el seu registre 5-0 en les represes (amb cinc knockouts) mentre va lliurar un impressionant nocaut a la primera ronda contra Ceja, que es va lesionar el turmell dret en una potent neteja justa pocs segons de la lluita enviant-lo a la lona.
Ceja es va aixecar a poc a poc però va ser colpejat amb una fúria de cops de puny i va tornar a noquejar amb just 51 segons després de la lluita que va acabar amb l'afer.
“Estava molt preparat per noquejar-lo, però estava preparat per anar-hi 12 rondes aquesta nit també si hagués de fer-ho,” va dir Ruiz, que estava plorós i emocionat després de la victòria. “Vaig estar content de noquejar-lo a la primera ronda. Estic buscant els millors lluitadors i els millors diners que hi ha.”
Va dir l'analista de SHOWTIME Paulie Malignaggi: “Mai he vist un KO de primera ronda que aviat en una lluita d'aquesta importància.” S'ha afegit Bernstein de SHOWTIME: “La mà dreta va ser l'arma escollida per Ruiz, i va fer la feina. Quin moment de redempció per a Ruiz!”
Cella, que va vèncer a Ruiz en un nocaut a la cinquena ronda l'agost passat per guanyar el títol mundial, es va fer mal des de la primera sèrie de cops de puny de Ruiz i mai es va recuperar a la intensa primera ronda.
Ceja va ser traslladat al proper hospital de la UC Irvine i se li va diagnosticar una fractura al turmell dret.
“Vaig veure que es va fer mal amb el primer cop de puny i vaig veure que la cama es trontollava i així vaig dir, ‘Acabem’,” Ruiz va dir. “I ho vaig fer en aquella ronda.”
Més d'hora Dissabte de Manchester, Anglaterra, a SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNACIONAL, Campió del món IBF de 122 lliures Carl Frampton va unificar la divisió de pes súper gallo amb una victòria per decisió dividida sobre el titular de l'AMB De Scott Quigg.
L'esperat enfrontament de campions invictes va començar lent i tàctic, però Frampton nadiu de Belfast (22-0, 14 KOs) es va establir com l'agressor i va treballar el seu jab per embutxacar les primeres rondes. Quigg no va cobrar vida fins després del setè, quan l'entrenador Joe Gallagher va advertir a la seva acusació que probablement estava malament als jutges’ quadres de comandament.
QUIGG (31-1-2) va colpejar el cos i va ser l'agressor en les vuitenes rondes 11, però era poc, massa tard per a Lancashire, nadiu d'Anglaterra. Frampton va guanyar el 12º i va marxar el campió unificat per unes quantes de 115-113 per Quigg, però 116-112 dues vegades per Frampton.

Això és el que els combatents havien de dir Dijous:

 

LEO SANTA CREU

 

“Headlining a televised card has been my childhood dream. I could have never imagined I was going to get this far. And Here I am, on my second main event, defending my title on a premium network. I’m so psyched. I cannot believe it.

 

“The first time I put the gloves on, I knew that I had found my craft, and I also knew that it was not going to be an easy road. I knew that I had to work hard to become a champion. Així, I trained the hardest and I fought the hardest, and with my father by my side I got here, where I’m at today. I owe him everything.

 

“I remember watching all the great Mexican Champions and day dreaming about being like them one day. It felt unreachable. I thought it was impossible to get where they were. But I worked hard, really hard from the beginning.

 

“The most important thing is that the fans leave happy and get their money’s worth. I’m glad that Kiko has come prepared because we’re ready for a great fight.

 

“People are saying that I should walk through Kiko Martinez, but I don’t listen to that. I look at Kiko the same way I look at any other opponent. When we step inside the ring, we are equals.

 

“At the end of the day, the winner will be the fighter who has prepared more and who has imposed his will on the other man.

 

 

KIKO MARTINEZ

 

“I have faced much stronger boxers than Leo and come Dissabte, all of those who did bet on me for this fight, I am going to make you a lot of money.

 

“I am excited and proud to know that Sergio Martinez will be present en dissabte supporting me. His guidance and presence

 

“My trainer could not be here, but we have not taken one day off in training camp and I have been pushed to my limit to prepare me for this fight. I’m thankful to Robert Garcia for being in my corner en dissabte.

 

“I know this is a great opportunity to fight Leo Santa Cruz and I will make the most of it. I’m going to leave everything inside the ring so that the fight fans enjoy a great championship matchup.

 

“I feel that Leo Santa Cruz is a great fighter, he has beat some incredible fighters. He’s a great athlete and boxer. Sometimes people will try to make him out to be more than he actually is but they are mistaken with what they see in me. I am not to be mistaken as the underdog here.

 

 

JULIO CEJA

 

“As Hugo mentioned, we have both trained even harder than last time and we’re more prepared physically and mentally.

 

“I’m going to give everybody a great fight just like last time. I’m walking into the ring knowing my opponent very well. We’ve been to war. I know what to expect from him. I know about his punch and I know how to counter it.

 

“I’m going to be alert and ready. I’ll be a little more intelligent, because I know that he’s coming well prepared and he’s coming for the world title, but he’s not going to get it.

“There are going to be no surprises in this fight. Hugo Ruiz said that he was training harder this time. But I am too. I’ve trained very hard.

 

“The key for me to win this fight is to keep my hands up and to not give him one inch. I cannot be careless. I’ll be strategic and use my wisdom. I cannot come in with my hands down because I know I’ll pay for it. But nothing to worry about, we have rectified those issues in training camp. Estic a punt. He’s not taking my belt away from me.

 

“I’m glad that he says he is better prepared this time because I am better than ever. My team has been instrumental in preparing me for this matchup.

 

“The winner will be the man who is more prepared physically and mentally. But the real winner will be the fans at Honda Center because this is an amazing card and we’re going to put on an amazing fight.”

 

 

HUGO RUIZ

 

“If you liked the first fight between us, then you are going to love this one.

 

“I’m excited to be fighting once again in Southern California. I’ve trained very hard and I have prepared myself for this world title opportunity.

 

“I’m looking forward to putting on a grand show for all my fans en dissabte nit ".

 

 

JOSE SANTA CREU, Santa Cruz’ Father & Entrenador

 

“I hear Kiko has a great trainer on his corner. Robert Garcia is really good, but I have news for Kiko, his trainer is not going to fight for him.

“Once a fighter steps into the ring, he’s alone in there. There are no trainers and no great promoters that can fight for him.”

 

“Kiko speaks about this prestigious trainer and thinks that by mentioning him, he is going to intimidate us. He has something else coming. The trainer won’t fight for Kiko. Roberto Garcia has trained my son and knows Leo very well but that does not give Kiko the upper hand.”

 

TOM BROWN, Head of TGB Promotions

 

“Southern California favorite Leo Santa Cruz returns to bring his action style to the ring. He will be opposed by a tough former world champion in Kiko Martinez who is sure to make this a tremendous fight.

 

“The first fight between Ceja and Ruiz was a true back and forth war. Should this pick up right where it left off, we will have a great fight to start the telecast.

 

“I’m looking forward to a great night en dissabte night in front of the fantastic Southern California boxing fans.”

 

 

TIM RYAN, CEO & President of Honda Center

 

“I’m so thankful to everyone for helping to bring boxing back to Orange County. It’s hard to believe that Julio Cesar Chavez fought here in 1996, because it seems like yesterday.

 

“We have a great arena and a great fan base that loves boxing here in Orange County. la targeta en dissabte is wonderful. I know these guys will be ready and I’m looking forward to an action-packed night on the 27º.

 

Chris DeBlasio, Vicepresident, Sports Communication Showtime Networks

 

“This is a fight fan’s fight card and we are looking forward to some explosive action. I think everyone knows that the lighter weight classes, especially at the championship level, produce exciting fights. My favorite examples include the epic series between Israel Vazquez and Rafael Marquez, which are available on SHOWTIME platforms and should wet your appetite for what we will see en dissabte nit ".

“60 MINUTES SPORTS” CAPTURES THE EXCITEMENT AND SPIRIT OF NAVAL ACADEMY BOXING ON THE 75TH ANNIVERSARY OF THIS ANNAPOLIS TRADITION, Dimarts, MARÇ 1 A SHOWTIME®

Leave a comment

Cameras Will Be Following the Fighters At The Brigade Boxing Championship Aquest divendres Nit

NOVA YORK (Febrer. 25, 2016) - 60 MINUTES SPORTS will offer a window into one of the most time-honored traditions in America’s military when it presents a segment on the U.S. Naval Academy’s boxing program and its annual Brigade Boxing Championship. The feature builds up to the 75º championship this Friday, Febrer. 26, in Annapolis, Md., and correspondent Jack Ford and 60 MINUTES SPORTS will be in the arena to record the action for the men’s and women’s bouts. The report will appear on the next edition of 60 MINUTES SPORTS, Dimarts, Març 1 a 9 p.m. I/PT, per SHOWTIME.

 

Boxing has been practiced at the nation’s second oldest military institution for 150 any, and midshipmen have vied for the Brigade Boxing Championship since 1941. Along the way to this year’s 75ºanniversary, the academy has made learning to box a requirement of graduation from the U.S. Naval Academy.

 

The man who teaches the “sweet science” to midshipmen – male and female – is Head Boxing Coach Jim McNally. It’s about future leaders facing fear. “We use boxing…as a laboratory…an environment of controlled stress, physical fear,” says McNally. “We want them to learn a lot about themselves and how they’re going to react to those situations,” he tells Ford.

 

60 MINUTES SPORTS shot the story in Annapolis in the fall and last January to show the process and tell the stories of three midshipmen who will be in the ring aquest divendres fighting for a championship. One of them, Samantha Glaeser, has a chance to make academy history. There have been only 19 at Annapolis to win the crown all four years at the Naval Academy, and none was a woman. Glaeser has a chance Divendres nit.

 

Ford also speaks with Glaeser’s foe, Stephanie Simon, another midshipmen with pugilistic talents who has a National Collegiate Boxing championship under her belt. She has not been able to defeat Glaeser, però, in their two previous meetings for the brigade championship.

 

Ford also talks to Midshipman Jourdan Looney, whose two brigade championship titles are testament to what boxing means to the Academy. He had no boxing experience before he entered the Naval Academy. “Boxing…fighting is one of my biggest fears. I conquer that one fear, I’ve conquered any other fear that I could possibly have.” He’ll be in contention for his third brigade title Divendres nit.

 

Els EUA. Naval Academy Superintendent, Vice Adm. Walter Carter, sums up the importance of boxing to America’s future naval officers for Ford. "[Boxa] is that moment where no matter how well you think you have planned out your couple minutes in the ring, you’re going to learn something new, because that plan is going to have to be different….”

“I’m very happy to have Robert Garcia in my corner. He has led so many fighters to world titles. I’m excited and I’m anxious to get things going. I’m ready to collaborate and I think we’ll do great things Dissabte.
“The people who doubt that I will take this title only make me stronger and more dangerous.

“En dissabte everyone will get to see the best Kiko Martinez. I am going to be bringing the pressure and giving you all a great fight with power punches to disarm Santa Cruz and take the title.
“I hope that fans will change their mindset of seeing me as the underdog and support me because I am here to show something else.
“I am very happy to be here and have the opportunity to fight in the United States again.

JULIO CEJA

“This will be a toe-to-toe fight because we both know each other’s strengths and having fought before we know this rematch will be explosive.
“From the second we knew there would be a rematch, we immediately started training. We knew going in to this again that it will be a tough fight and this one will be better than the first. It will be more dangerous and more of a fight than the last because of what the rematch represents.
“I have trained very hard because I know what is on the line and I am not going to allow Ruiz to take that title from be so easily. It is going to be an all-out battle.
“Hugo has reach and height on me but all I know is that once I hear that bell, none of that matters. There’s a reason why they call me the champ and I am confident in my skill to show that.
“I am looking to show up and give the fans an entertaining show. I will be looking for a fight all throughout and keep it exciting for the fans who are coming out to see a good fight.
“I devoted my life to becoming the champion and my life dream was always to be a champ, so this is something that I will fight to the end for.
“I became a champ here in the United States and now that I am blessed with the opportunity to get a rematch here. I’m ready to take full advantage of this chance to give it 100 per cent.”
Gerald Washington
“I grew up boxing and boxing was always my passion as a kid. I used to go to the local Boys & Girls Club as a kid and I’ve been in love with it since. It’s always been a part of me and I’m glad I can do it again and take over this division.
“There are lot’s similarities in football and boxing. You watch film, break your opponent down. We take everything from sparring and practice and take them out to the game.
“Això serà una gran baralla. It’s always a good battle when you have two undefeated fighters. It’s going to be a night full of action. I look forward to the action. I love stepping up and facing top-flight competition.
“Rivas has an extensive amateur background. Ell és un gran, strong guy who likes the knockout. He’s going to go for it. I’m prepared for a fight like that. I know the pressure is coming. We’ve worked hard since my last fight.
“The jab is the key for everything. It opens up all the other shots and keeps the opponent off balance. I’m going to hammer him with it. It’s a major tool.
“It’s a great honor to be fighting here in Los Angeles. My whole life has taken place in this state and everyone who has supported me is coming together en dissabte to see it all in action.
“Heavyweight boxing is always exciting. We’re the hardest hitters in the game. I can’t wait to show everyone the hard work I’ve put in and give a great performance.
“I’m going to be smart and disciplined in the ring. But you also have to have a strong will and have the determination to keep moving forward. You have to step to the guy and apply the pressure.
“My height and reach is always to my advantage but it’s not that. It’s the legs, the mind, the combinations. It’s everything.
“You will see a smart and aggressive style from me en dissabte and I’m going to take that into the next level of my career.”

MARÇ 12 BOXING EVENT CANCELLATION NOTICE

Leave a comment

NOVA YORK (Febrer. 24, 2016)—After extensive discussions between DiBella Entertainment, Showtime Networks and Mohegan Sun, la Març 12 boxing event has been canceled.

 

Following the injury to Keith Thurman and the postponement of the Thurman vs. Porter bout, we evaluated several options for salvaging the card, but various factors, including scheduling and programming issues, prevented the parties involved from doing so.

 

The featherweight bout between fellow three-division world champions Abner Mares and Fernando Montiel will remain paired with the Thurman vs. Porter welterweight world championship event, which is being rescheduled for a later date on CBS. The other bouts on the card will be rescheduled on a date or dates to be announced.

 

“Every effort was made to move forward with the remainder of this excellent card, despite the tight time frame,” va dir Lou DiBella, El president de DiBella Entertainment. “No obstant això, scheduling conflicts and other factors forced us to make the unfortunate decision to cancel the entire event. There are a number of attractive fights on the table and we look forward to presenting all of them to the fans as soon as possible.”

 

Tickets purchased for the Març 12 event will be refunded at the point of purchase.
