ET/7 P.M. PT).

 

PBC on CBS will kick-off the action with a doubleheader featuring the U.S. debut of undefeated Irish championCarl Frampton (20-0, 14 KOs), who will defend his IBF Junior Featherweight World Championship against Mexican contender Gonzalez Jr. (25-1-2, 15 KOs) in the 12-round main event. In the 10-round co-feature, heavyweight star Arreola(36-4, 31 KOs), of Los Angeles takes on Cameroonian heavyweight Frederic Kassi(18-3, 10 KOs).

 

In the main event of the SHOWTIME #?AMPIONECO BOKSOdoubleheader later that evening, Mexican superstar Chavez, Jr. (48-2-1, 32 KOs) meets fellow Mexican brawler Marcos Reyes (33-2, 24 KOs) in a 10-round super middleweight bout.

 

The 12-round co-main event will feature a pair of top bantamweights, as Puerto Rican Olympian McJoe Arroyo(16-0, 8 KOs) Kaj Arthur Villanueva (27-0, 14 KOs), of the Philippines put their undefeated records on the line for the IBF Bantamweight World Championship.

 

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. is the first fighter to train at Robert Garcia’s new boxing academy in Riverside, which opened Junio 8. Garcia formerly trained all of his boxers at his well-known gym in Oxnard, Calif.

 

Julio Cesar Chavez, arguably the greatest Mexican fighter of all time, made an appearance during his son’s workout to show his support and offer words of encouragement.

 

Here’s what Chavez Jr., Gonzalez Jr., Arreola, Julio Cesar Chavez and Robert Garcia (Chavez Jr.’s trainer) devis diri Merkredo at the Riverside gym:

 

JULIO CESAR CHAVEZ JR., Former World Champion

I think Robert Garcia was the best option for me after my last fight. He speaks Spanish and knows the Mexican style. He has trained a lot of champions and I have a good connection with him.

 

I missed the basics of boxing training for the last fight. Since I had such a long layoff, I needed to get back to the basics and I never did.

 

I feel like I am in a good place right now. I am confident in my boxing ability because I know I am in the right condition. I sparred 10 rounds yesterday, this never happened in my last fight.

 

I must win this fight and then everyone will see that I am capable of fighting the big names like [Gennadij] Golovkin kaj [Carl] Froch.

 

I must stay prepared and focus on my current opponent. He’s only 27 and has the ability.

 

I learned a lot in my fight against [Andrzej] Fonfara. I really felt his punches, I became very tired. He taught me that I needed to spend more time in the gym and on my strategy. But I don’t think it was the wrong decision to fight him.

 

I am currently training not just for my fight with [Marcos] Reyes, but also for a potential rematch with Fonfara.

 

I feel like I need to have a dominant performance to show my fans what I am capable of. I must work my jab and use my defense.

 

For this fight I will be at 168, but I am not sure what I will weigh for my fights in the future. I’m ready for less than 168 to face opponents like Canelo [Alvarez].”

 

 

ALEJANDRO GONZALEZ JR., Ekstra Bantamweight Konkuranto

I have a big chance, a great opportunity. I am going to take advantage of it.

 

For this fight we worked differently in training camp than all my other camps. I worked more on my defense, my attack and counter punches. Everything about this camp is different and focused solely on Frampton.

 

It’s Frampton’s first time coming to the United States and he wants to be a superstar. Sed, in order to become a superstar he must first get by me.

 

I know that he’s a great fighter with a lot of experience and a hard-hitting punch, but nothing that I can’t handle.

 

I’m not going to be afraid of anyone. Even though this will be the biggest fight of my career. I won’t be nervous.

 

Ever since my lone loss to [Juan Alberto] Rosas last year, I gained a lot of experience. I think I am ready for this test.

 

He’s looking at me as the fighter who lost to Rosas, but I’m a different fighter now.

 

 

CHRIS ARREOLA, Heavyweight Contender

I expect to step in the ring in the high 240s. That’s about where I need to be. Just staying in shape and making sure I don’t balloon up like I have. My last fight when I weighed 263 I could easily cut weight to 255, but what for? I’m a big heavyweight. I messed up by overeating and it’s my fault. No one else to blame but me. I’m not going to cut any vanity weight. Why would I? I’m a heavyweight.

 

I will never quit in a fight. Broken nose, broken ribs, broken whatever. You would have to kill me in the ring before I ever quit.

 

I watched Kassi’s last fight. He’s a good mover and switches a lot. The main thing I’m going to have to do is catch him when he’s flinching, because he’s flinching out of nowhere.

 

I’ve got to make a statement and I have to give myself a shot for a world title fight. Title shots don’t come around every day so when they do you got to take them.

 

JULIO CESAR CHAVEZ

Julio is more relaxed and confident in his training. It’s never too late to start over. I hope Sabate that we will see a new Julio.

 

The loss to Fonfara didn’t take him down, it woke him up. Now he must take a new path and win in a dominant fashion.

 

I didn’t want him to take the fight with Fonfara because he wasn’t at the same weight and he was coming off a year of inactivity.

 

I think that this is the right weight for Julio. He is taking on a challenger who trains well and is young. Julio has the essential qualities to step ahead and forge a new path.

 

 

ROBERT GARCIA, Chavez Jr.s’ Trejnisto

I think everything has come together so much easier than I expected. Julio is training every day, he’s sparring. He’s doing everything he has to do. It’s been easier than I ever expected.

 

We start at 7:30 P.M. and we train till 11 P.M. iafoje. He’s training so much. He loves to train. Sometimes he goes in my swimming pool and swims for 15 #A? 20 Minutoj.

 

Junior has his own style, and I’m not going to change that. I’m just correcting little things; making sure he doesn’t have his head in front of his opponent and letting them hit him like they did his last couple of fights. I want him to use the jab a little more and move side to side.

 

I love it out here in Riverside. I own the whole property so my fighters all stay here. We have horses and it’s quiet. It’s just so different than Oxnard where 40 #A? 50 fighters could walk in at any time.

KARIMHARD HITTAMAYFIELD READY TO STEP UP AND GIVE MAYWEATHER A HIGHLY EXPLOSIVE FIGHT

Photo By Team Mayfield

 

SAN FRANCISCO, CA (Julio 6, 2015)After pound for pound king Floyd “Mono” Mayweather (48-0, 26 KOs) mentioned Karim “Hard Trovi” Mayfield (19-2-1, 11 KOs) as one of his possible opponents for his final contracted fight with Showtime, the San Francisco native says is ready to step up and give Mayweather his first loss.

 

I’m always ready to fight anyone anywhere,” said Karim Mayfield. “The fact that the great Floyd Mayweather has mentioned me as someone he wants to fight in September is music to my ears. It would be an honor to fight Floyd in Las Vegas. He’s done a lot for the sport and he’s arguably the best fighter to ever lace em up. My last few fights have been at 140 pounds and I know the extra weight would make me more powerful. I fought Francisco Santana at 152 pounds and gave him his only KO loss. I’m very powerful and comfortable at that weight. I know I would give Floyd all he can handle. Mia trejnisto Ben Bautista and I have a game plan we know will be successful against Mayweather. I’d give Floyd his first loss in a highly explosive fight.

 

Set for Septembro 12, 2015, Mayweather will fight an opponent TBA at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas. Mayfield, kune kun Andre Berto (30-3, 23 KOs) are fighters Floyd Mayweather has mentioned as potential opponents. Karim feels he’s the better option.

 

No disrespect to Andre Berto, he’s a good fighter and we have a mutual respect for one another, but he’s not as durable as I am. Berto has two losses against opponent’s Floyd has already defeated. I’ve never been dropped, battered or bruised in any of my fights. I bring a rough style to this fight, a style the fans want to see Floyd up against. Krome, the Bay Area is a big media market and I know all my fans here would rise up and support me. My brother La Ron and I, who are independent, sold out my last fight in San Francisco. I’m confident we can bring a big crowd to Las Vegas. It’s only an hour fight away.

 

Amir Khan (31-3, 19 KOs), who’s been begging to fight Mayweather since 2014, is another fighter campaigning to fight Mayweather. After sparring Khan on numerous occasions, Mayfield feels Amir is an easier fight.

 

Every time I sparred Amir Khan at Virgil Hunter’s gym, I put hands on him,” Mayfield declared. “So bad that Virgil had to stop the sparring sessions. Khan has also been brutally knocked out twice by Prescott and Garcia. The man has no chin and he wouldn’t last twelve rounds with Money Mayweather. He’s definitely the safer route.

 

Mayfield, who’s been in camp with Manny Pacquiao, Antonio Margarito Kaj Danny Garcia to name a few, has all the experience needed to give the fans an entertaining fight. He’s beaten many undefeated fighters and has a unanimous decision win against Mauricio Herrera.

 

No one can deny my heart and determination to fight the best,” Mayfield continued. “I’ve been the ring with everyone. I soundly beat Herrera, I whooped Pacquiao and Khan in sparring. Shawn Porter refused to step in the ring when he had the choice to fight me or Erick Osto with only one day notice. A lot of fighters have ducked me because I’m a serious threat to anyone.

 

Mayfield feels the fans want to see Floyd Mayweather give an African-American fighter a chance to dethrone him. Mayweather’s last seven opponents have been either, Mexican, Argentinean, Filipino or Puerto Rican.

 

I think it’s time for the fans to see Floyd give a brotha a shot.Mayfield concluded. “Shane Mosley Kaj Zab Judah gave Floyd a run for his money. I feel I can do the same but come out victorious.

READY TO WIN ONE FOR THE LITTLE GUYS: INTRODUCING MARCOSDORADOREYES

I really don’t care about the size difference. I’m a better fighter than him.

Chavez is the son of a giant, but there’s a saying that goes ‘the sons of giants are dwarfs.They never live up to expectations and become giants like their fathers.Marcos Reyes

Reyes Faces Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.,

In Main Event of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING?Doubleheader

Sabato, Julio 18, Viva sur SHOWTIME (10 P.M. ET/7 P.M. PT)

NOV-JORKO (Julio 6, 2015) – One of the most recognizable names in boxing, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (48-2-1, 32 KOs) will attempt to get back on the winning track when he meets Mexico’s MarcosDorado” Reyes (33-2, 24 KOs) Sur SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIPBOXING? Vivi sur SHOWTIME? (10 P.M. ET/7 P.M. PT) Sur Sabato, Julio 18, De laDon Haskins Center at UTEP in El Paso, Teksaso.

 

Chavez is a Mexican superstar and former middleweight world champion. He’s also the son of legendary Julio Cesar Chavez Sr., a six-time world champion in three weight classes considered, by acclamation, as the greatest Mexican fighter of all time and as one of the best boxers of all time.

 

So who is Marcos Reyes?

 

I’m the boxer who’s going to beat Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.,” Li diris. “I’m the one who’s going to take advantage of my opportunity of a lifetime. I’m the one who’ll show everybody that I’m a better fighter than him.

 

I’ve proven to be a good fighter in my career but I’m hungry to be something more. I want to make a name for myself. I’m not intimidated. I want to beat Chavez so I can fight with the best.

 

Reyes, of Chihuahua, Chihuahua, Meksiko, Estas 27. An eight-year-pro, he stands 6-foot-1, the identical height of Chavez. Chavez is the naturally bigger boxer, Nature, a fact that’s not been lost on anybody, including most certainly Reyes.

 

When they told me about the Chavez fight, I couldn’t believe it,” Reyes said. “I just said, ‘OK, let’s do it.I just didn’t care about anything but making the fight. I wanted this fight to happen so badly.

 

I’m a 160-pound fighter, but I really didn’t care about the size difference. I just wanted the chance against him. I know I’m a better fighter than him. I can do much more than him inside the ring. I can take (a punch) at my weight, I can go toe-to-toe or I can box. I can use my legs, jab, keep busy in there. He can’t.

 

That’s why I’m so excited and happy about this fight. It’s the major leagues. It’s everything. It’s my chance to show the people in the world how good I am. It can open the door to all the big fights. I’m going to leave everything I have in the ring, I’m putting my whole heart on the line.

 

Chavez achieved his success at middleweight but has been scrapping at super middleweight and beyond since abandoning the 160-pound division after a loss to Sergio Martinez En septembro 2012.

 

Lasta Aprilo 18 Sur SHOWTIME, Chavez took the dangerous step to move up in weight to face the naturally larger Andrzej Fonfara. Chavez, who measured 171½ pounds at the weigh-in, Chavez went down in the ninth, made it to his corner after the bell but chose not to continue in a fight he was losing by the scores of 89-80 Kaj 88-81 Dufoje.

 

Chavez has since changed trainers and will be working with Robert Garcia for the 168-pound, 10-round rumble with Reyes. Reyes will be trained for this fight by International Boxing Hall of Famer IgnacioNachoBeristain. Until recently, Reyes was trained by Robert Garcia.

 

This is my second fight in a row with Nacho and fourth overall,” Reyes said, “but I spent most of the last two years training with Robert at his gym. So Robert and I are on excellent terms. I know he’s training Chavez now. But I’m also sure Robert already knows that I’m a better fighter than Chavez is.

 

I saw his last fight with Fonfara; Chavez is going down now, I am going up. The right time to beat Chavez is now.

 

Reyes isn’t a braggart, merely a determined, confident kid anxiously closing in on a matchup he’s wanted and dreamed of for years.

 

Of course there’s pressure on me, but Chavez is the fighter with the name,” Reyes said. “Chavez is the son of a giant, but there’s a saying that goes ‘the sons of giants are dwarfs.They never live up to expectations and become giants like their fathers.

 

Reyes does have concerns about Julio 18, but they don’t have anything to do with Chavez Jr.

 

I am worried a little about the judges if the fight goes the distance,” Li diris. “Maybe I have a bad decision go against me. So I don’t want it to go to the judges. I want to finish him before the 10 full rounds.

 

From the first bell, I’ll be throwing punches and I will keep throwing punches. I will do what I have to do to knock Chavez out.

 

On being the son of a famous father/fighter, Reyes can empathize with what Chavez Jr., has had to endure. Tamen, Reyes is quick to point out the inherent advantages that go along with it. He also puts some of the burden on Julio Jr., for not being his own self in the ring.

 

I think it is hard to handle being the son of someone famous,” Reyes said. “His father was an icon and he wants to follow the same steps, but he didn’t have it nearly as hard as his father did. Being the son brings on its own issues. Chavez doesn’t possess the qualities his dad had yet he wants to fight like his father. But he shouldn’t. His dad was short, he’s tall. He shouldn’t try to fight like him at all.

 

Chavez is his son and has the same name, but in the ring he’s just a guy with the name of Julio Cesar Chavez. He’s not the same as his father and will never be.

 

I just don’t see Chavez as a better boxer than me.

 

Like the vast majority of Mexican boxers, Reyes idolized Chavez Sr.

 

Julio Sr. was one of my first idols. I remember watching him when I was five,” Reyes said. “He was one of the main reasons I started to box. Then when I watched Oscar De La Hoya he became one of my idols. I saw a lot of their fights. Kaj Roy Jones Jr.’s fights, Tro; he was also one of my idols.

 

At one time during the past year Reyes was world-ranked at middleweight in the WBC (Ne. 9) and the IBF (Ne. 15). He’s campaigned almost exclusively in Mexico where he defeated a string of tough, rugged contenders. This will be his fourth U.S. apero, second in three fights and second in Texas.

 

This is very exciting for me to fight on SHOWTIME,” the come-forward boxer-puncher said. “It’s my first main event on a major television network and I’m proud and very happy about it. This is my time and I’m going to take advantage and do what I need to do against Chavez.

 

Reyes went 63-7 in the amateurs, was a six-time Mexican national champion and a representative of the Mexican National Team in both the 2006 Kaj 2007 Pajno amerikaj Ludoj. He turned pro at age 19 En aprilo 2007.

 

In his third fight Reyes captured the Mexican super welterweight title with a third-round TKO. In his seventh start and United States debut, in July 2008 in Corpus Christi, Teksaso, he registered a third-round TKO. Reyes, in his 11Th outing, defeated one of Mexico’s all-time most popular former world champions when he outpointed Ludoviko Rajmondo “Yory Boy” Campus Super 12 rounds in March 2009.

 

Reyes made it to 13-0 before he suffered his initial loss on a 10-round decision to Amilcar Milian Je 2010. After losing to Milian, Reyes won his next 19 consecutive fights before losing a controversial majority 10-round decision to El Paso’s Abie Han Lasta Oct. 18 En Carson, Calif. Reyes’ trainer that night? Robert Garcia.

 

Reyes might have won two or three of the first seven rounds against Han, but he made things interesting when he scored a knockdown with 30 seconds remaining in the eighth. Han also crumpled to the canvas from a seemingly meaningless left hook to the chest that may have landed a split second after the bell sounded in the eighth. The first was scored a knockdown, the second was not.

 

The knockdown got Reyes back into the fight and he was on his way to winning the ninth round, Tro, except that the referee deducted a point from him for a late hit (short left hook to the face) that appeared to clearly connect before the bell.

 

I was angry with the judges in that fight,” Reyes said. “I thought I won. I don’t know what happened. I dropped him twice in the eighth but I only got credit for one. I got credit for the first one late in the round but the second one in the closing seconds of the round I did not.

 

Reyes, who has mostly campaigned at 154 Kaj 160 Funtoj, tipped the scale at a personal-high 165½ pounds for his most recent fight, a unanimous eight-round decision win over David Alonso Lopez Lasta Jan. 24. Reyes won by 77-74 Dufoje kaj 76-75 despite going down in the second.

SHELTON, Lavo, (Junio 26, 2015) – In an extremely close fight to score, nevenkitan mezopezo Dominic ?Ellumigas? Wade (18-0, 12 KOs), De #Va?ingtono, D.C., escaped with a split 10-round decision over former world champion Sam “King” Soliman (44-13, 1 NC, 18 KOs), of Melbourne, #A?stralio, En la #?efa evento Vendredo Sur ShoBox: La Nova Generacio Vivi sur SHOWTIME De Little Creek Casino.

 

Wade, who scored a disputed knockdown in the fourth round, gajnita de la partituroj de 97-93, 95-94 Kaj 93-96.

 

“This was by far my toughest fight, and my best win as a pro,’’ Wade said afterward. “I knew there was going to be a problem fighting an experienced, totally awkward guy like that. Really, it’s impossible to prepare for a fight like this. But I kept my poise throughout and that was a key.

 

“Soliman was physically fit, but not one thing he did surprised me. His punches weren’t anything. I thought it was a close fight, but I knew I landed the harder, cleaner shots. I wasn’t worried at all about the decision.

 

“I have more respect for Soliman now that I’ve fought him. He sure doesn’t fight like somebody that is 41-years-old. But I did what I had to do to get the win and take the next step up me.’’

 

Soliman, making his first start since suffering a knee injury last Oct. 14in an IBF title defense decision loss to Jermain Taylor, fought his fight. An energetic, herky-jerky veteran, who constantly moves, feints, charges in with punches, holds, grabs, hugs and sometimes even tackles.

 

His mauling unconventional style makes it almost impossible to look good against, but many, including Soliman, felt he landed enough clean punches to deserve the decision.

 

“I definitely felt I won, and I think Wade knows I won, Tro,’’ Soliman said. “He never hurt me once. My knee held up 100 Procento. The knockdown that he got credit for wasn’t even a knockdown. It didn’t come from a punch. He literally pushed me down.

 

“That everyone after the fight came up to me and said I won takes some of the sting out of not getting the decision. These kinds of decisions can bring some fighters down, but this will only make me stronger. I don’t agree with the decision at all, but this is boxing and I have to accept it.

 

“I really want to thank SHOWTIME for giving me the opportunity to fight on ShoBox. I think I showed the world tonight that I have a lot left.’’

Boxing historian and ShoBox sperta analizisto Steve Farhood poste: “It was a very difficult fight to score. It was very close. It turns out the difference was somehow controversial: Unofficial knockdown in round four. If you scored that round 10-8 for Wade, that was the margin of victory, one extra point that he got for round four.

“A good win for [Dominic] Wade, not a pretty win. He’s a legitimate Top 10 contender now because he beat a legitimate top 10 Konkuranto. And for [Sam] Soliman, he’s 41-years-old and he’s going to keep going. He’s not going to stop. Entuta, it was a good learning experience for Wade and a very very difficult ugly fight that could have gone either way.

There was much less drama in the two other televised fights presented by TGB Promotions.

 

En la co-#?efa?o, 19-year-old former amateur standout and talented unbeaten super welterweight Erickson “Hammer” Lubin (11-0, 8 KOs), of Orlando Fla., scored two knockdowns en route to a 2:49, Unue-ronda #knoka?to super Ayi Bruce (23-10, 15 KO’s) of Albany, N.Y., who was fighting for the first time in 16 Monatoj.

 

“I expected to take him out, maybe in a couple of rounds, but not that fast,’’ said the up-and-coming southpaw who is one of the youngest boxers to appear on ShoBox. “I took my time and was pacing myself. I don’t think he hit me once.

 

“I want to keep moving up and fighting better competition so I can become a true contender. I’m ready to fight again #Morga?. #?I-nokte, actually.’’

 

En la ShoBox opener, former international amateur star Oscar “Kaboom” Rivas (17-0, 12 KOs), a Montreal-based Colombian who represented Colombia in the 2008 Olimpikaj Ludoj, remained undefeated with a devastating 2:25 first-round TKO over outclassedJason Pettaway (17-3, 10 KOs), of Camp Lejeune, N.C.

 

A brutal, vicious puncher, Rivas was impressive in his United States andShoBox Debuto. He overwhelmed Rivas from the outset, scoring three knockdowns. He had two points taken away for hitting Pettaway late and while he was down after the first knockdown, but it hardly mattered.

 

While delighted with his performance, Rivas felt the points’ deduction was unwarranted. “I didn’t think he was on the floor,'' Li diris. “I didn’t think his knee was down and he was holding on to the ropes. So he wasn’t down and I kept punching.

 

“I feel very happy about my fight tonight. This was the opportunity I’ve been waiting for, fighting on a great network like SHOWTIME. I’m ready for bigger challenges now. I don’t care against who. I’m ready to take on the world.’’

 

Said Pettaway: “I definitely felt I was down and that it was a late shot. It definitely affected me. I never got a chance to show anything.’’

 

Rivas, looking to become the first boxer from Colombia to win a heavyweight world title, may have had something to do with that.

 

Unbeaten lightweight and former Marine and 2012 Usono. Olympic Team Captain Jamel Herring (12-0, 7 KOs), De Cincinnati, Ohio, whose scheduled ShoBox fight against Mexico’s Oscar Cortes was cancelled#?A?do when Cortes came in overweight, fought on the non-televised portion of the event and won a lopsided eight-round decision over Tijuana’s Hector Velasquez (56-26-3, 38 KOs).

SHELTON, Lavo. (Junio 25, 2015) – The ShoBox: La Nova Generacio Tripleheader #Morga?, Vendredo, Junio 26, Vivi sur SHOWTIME (10:35 P.M. ETa/PT, Prokrastita sur la Okcidenta Marbordo) De Little Creek Casino in Shelton, Wash., will feature promising undefeated middleweight prospect Dominic ?Ellumigas? Wade (17-0, 12 KOs), De #Va?ingtono, D.C., Kontraŭ Sam “King” Soliman (44-12, 1 NC, 18 KOs), of Melbourne, Australia in the 10-round main event.

 

But the scheduled co-feature between unbeaten lightweight and former Marine and 2012 Usono. Olympic Team Captain Jamel Herring (11-0, 7 KOs), De Cincinnati, Ohio, and Mexico’s Oscar Cortes (25-2, 13 KOs) was cancelled #?A?do when Cortez came in overweight. Armed Forces Network will air the ShoBox telecast despite the Herring-Cortes fight getting scrapped.

 

“I’m very disappointed that I didn’t get to fight,’’ Herring said. “I was really looking forward to it. I’ll be back in the ring in no time and I will continue my march of becoming a world champion one day.”

 

The new co-feature will pit unbeaten promising Erickson “The Hammer’’ Lubin (10-0, 7 KO’s) of Orlando, Fla., Kontraŭ Ayi Bruce (23-9, 15 KO’s) of Albany, N.Y., in a super welterweight scrap. The telecast opener will match heavyweights Oscar “Kaboom” Rivas (16-0, 11 KOs), a Montreal-based Colombian, Kaj Jason Pettaway (17-2, 10 KOs), of Camp Lejeune, N.C. Both fights are slated for eight rounds.

 

Wade, who’ll take on the toughest opponent of his career when he steps up in class to face the vastly more experienced former world champion Soliman, also came in heavy. He weighed 162.5 pounds on his first attempt. When he returned to the scale, he weighed 161 Funtoj. Soliman, tipped the scale at 161.4 Funtoj, on his first attempt.

 

Southpaw Lubin, 19, a sensational amateur, will be making his ShoBoxdebut and 11Th start since turning pro in November 2011. He weighed 152.4 Funtoj. Bruce, who has fought top prospects throughout his career but is coming off a lengthy layoff, pezis 151.4 for the super welterweight bout. In the heavyweight match added to the telecast#?A?do Mateno, the physically strong and powerful Rivas, a former international amateur standout, pezis 244 Funtoj. Pettaway, who is looking to regain his winning ways after losing his last start, tipped the scale at 222.

 

What the fighters said #?A?do:

 

DOMINIC WADE

 

“For me this is a big step up in class. Soliman is a very experienced fighter; I definitely don’t look at him as just some 41-year old who still fights. He’s a spoiler. He’s the kind of fighter that is difficult to look good against because he’s so awkward. I expect him to jump and throw punches and then hold, but I’ve trained to control him from the outside with my jab.

 

“I feel like it’s time for a real test. It’s time to see where I’m at. I could have fought easier, but I’ve been working hard at the gym and this is the time for me to start moving toward a world title shot.

 

“Going 10 ĉirkaŭvojoj kun Nick Brinson [in his ShoBox debut in June 2014] was a good learning experience. I thought I was going to stop him for sure, probably early, but he was tougher than I thought. He surprised me. Nothing Soliman will do will surprise me and I am 100 percent ready for Vendredo.''

 

SAM SOLIMAN

 

“The right knee that I hurt against Jermain Taylor Estas 100 Procento. I’ll be wearing a brace but it is nothing I’ll be thinking about. I had four months of rehab, but I’ve been injury-free in the seven months since.

 

“As a former kickboxer, I have been in a million wars, so this wasn’t even the worst injury I’ve ever suffered. You can’t compare it to what I went through as a kickboxer so I feel great. There are no mental fears or anything.

 

“I don’t want to be a stepping stone for anybody. I feel his promoters and advisors made a mistake in picking me. I still have plenty of fight left. They could have picked a lot of other fighters if they were looking to make a name for Wade.

 

“For me to still be fighting has nothing to do with age or special genes. It’s all about how you live your life.

 

“Wade is a good boxer, a smart kid who will try and keep you at bay. But I’ve fought 30-40 guys with that style. He’s talented and I don’t want to take anything away from him, but you need to have some tough fights. I know they see me as their ticket to a world ranking, a 41-year-old former champion. But they picked the wrong guy.’’

 

Erickson Lubin

 

“I’m just here to fight. This is my first time on SHOWTIME and I’m really looking forward to it.

 

“I feel like my career is going just great. I fought a lot last year and hope to fight four-five times this year. I want to be labeled as a contender real soon, so I just keep fighting. I can fight at super welterweight or welterweight with no problems weigh-wise.

 

“I’m in a good division. I’ve been watching all the young guys. I feel I could fight any of them now, but I know I have to be patient. Ankoraŭ, if I had my way, I’d fight every month if I could.

 

“I’m still learning, Nature, but I know I am getting there. I feel one of my greatest strengths is my ability to make adjustments. If one thing isn’t working I can adjust it to something totally different.’’

 

AYI BRUCE

 

“I can box or slug and have faced some tough guys. I’ve been off but that’s because a couple of fights fell out on me. I feel really strong and very prepared.

 

“Lubin is only 19. I’m going to show him my experience in the ring. I’ve fought lefties before so that will not be a problem.

 

“I’m coming to fight. Mi venas al gajni. I need to win. Vendrede, I’m going to be the teacher and he is going to be the pupil. I’ll be taking him to school.’’

 

OSCAR RIVAS

 

“This is a great opportunity for me fighting on ShoBox. I want America to see me, I want to show the people what I’ve got. I’ve been waiting for an opportunity like this for a long time.

 

“I’m strong, but I think I’m a better boxer than people expect. I feel I have a lot of ability. All that international amateur experience made me well-rounded. I’m not just a pressure guy. I’ve got good movement and I throw a lot of combinations with speed.

 

“I’m happy with the way my career is going. They’re taking their time with me but I feel I’m ready to step up against tougher opposition. At 6-foot-1, I’m short for a heavyweight but I’m a tough fighter for guys taller than me.

 

“There has never been a heavyweight champion from Colombia. To become the first is a great motivation for me.

 

“I look forward to fighting the biggest names in the division. I’ve been waiting for the time and the time is now to move up. I feel I’m going to be a part of the heavyweight dance for a long time.

 

“But I’m not underestimating Pettaway. I look at him as a complete boxer who can take a punch and has good speed and power.’’

 

JASON PETTAWAY

 

“This is the opportunity of a lifetime, what I have been working for my whole life. I feel like this is a big step up for me, but it is also a big step up for him. I don’t think he has ever fought anybody as good as me.

 

“I know that a lot of people haven’t heard of me, but a win Vendrede, and a couple more right after that, will put me right in the thick of the heavyweight mix.

 

“I’m definitely in great shape. I’m improving and getting more comfortable with each fight. I think nerves and fighting under the big lights has cost me before, but I’m over that now.

 

“I am really looking forward to fighting a guy like Rivas.’’

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (Junio 13, 2015) – In the first title fight in the state of Alabama, Deontay “The Bronze Bomber” Wilder (34-0, 33 KOs), had to work harder than expected before dismantlingEric “Drummer Boy” Molina (23-3, 17 KOs) with a ninth round knockout Sabato night in the main event of SHOWTIME #?AMPIONECO BOKSO? Vivi sur SHOWTIME.

 

Hometown hero Wilder, who was born and still resides just 60 miles down the road in Tuscaloosa, dropped Molina, of Lyford, Teksaso, with a straight right hand 63 seconds in the ninth round, prompting referee Jack Reiss to call the fight off as a result of Molina’s fourth and final knockdown of the evening in front of a raucous sold out crowd of 9,347 at Bartow Arena on the campus of University of Alabama Birmingham.

 

A game Molina surprised Wilder with his stamina and heart. “I was surprised by Molina, he showed tremendous heart,” said an elated Wilder as roars from the crowd rang down from the rafters. “All the critics doubted him, but he showed that he was a very tough challenger. I needed a tough guy who had heart and who could get dropped and still come back up.”

 

Wilder knocked down Molina once in the fourth round with a left hook and twice in the fifth round with his deadly right hand, looking as if the fight would be stopped before the start of the sixth round. But Molina was determined to get up and was even able to land a big right hand in the eighth round, stunning a seemingly tired Wilder.

 

Although not the outcome he had hoped for, Molina was grateful for the opportunity. “I gave it everything I had,” a dejected Molina said. “It wasn’t the result I wanted, but what can I do. It was my dream to fight for the title. Wilder is a great fighter and I want him to be great.”

 

Boxing historian and SHOWTIME Analyst Steve Farhood provided interesting insight after the main event. “I thought this fight produced three winners. Deontay Pli #Sova?a, the state of Alabama and believe it or not, Eric Molina. Expectations were low for Molina, but he is going to get more offers based off this fight. He presented a reasonable challenge and fought with a lot of heart. The crowd was fantastic and I think that everyone would like to see Deontay Wilder fight here again.”

 

In the opening bout of the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING doubleheader, Jose “The Sniper” Pedraza (20-0, 12 KOs) dominated Andrey Klimov (20-1, 9 KOs) from the opening bell to claim the vacant IBF Junior Lightweight Title with a unanimous decision victory.

 

Pedraza, Faranta lia 2015 Debuto, Triumfita de la poentaroj de 120-108 Dufoje kaj 119-109.

 

Pedraza was all smiles afterward. “I was very happy because I have sacrificed my life for the last 14 years to become a world champion," li diris. “It wasn’t easy but it’s a dream come true, a dream every fighter thinks about to become a world champion.”

 

De la komenca sonorilo, Pedraza, of Cidra, Puerto Rico, used his superior hand speed, combination punching and body jabs to create distance and keep Klimov, of Klimovsk, Rusio, at bay. Pedraza landed 50 percent of his power shots compared to a 26 percent rate by Klimov. The Puerto Rican becomes the 62Nd fighter who has appeared on ShoBox: La Nova Generacio, to become world champion.

 

Pedraza used previous Puerto Rican champions as motivation in claiming his first title.“Becoming the seventh Puerto Rican Champion at 130 means the world to me," li diris. “I look up to Miguel Cotto and now young Puerto Rican boxers are going to look up to me.”

Post ŝin kverelas, Klimov revealed why he was covered in blood for most of the night. “On the very first punch of the fight, Pedraza broke my nose and from that point forward I was playing catch up," li diris. “My ability in the ring was hindered because of my nose, as it kept on swelling.”

Although the nose was a factor in the fight, a battered Klimov made no excuses. “Pedraza did an exceptional job, he is a really good, fast fighter.”

Opening the SHOWTIME Boxing sur SHO ULTRA telecast undefeated Julian “J-Rock” Williams (20-0-1, 12KOs) De Philadelphia, Pa. delivered an impressive sixth-round TKO (2:43) Super Armen Ovsepyan (14-5, 11 KOs) of Yerevan, Armenia, to retain his WBC Continental Super Welterweight Title.

 

Williams started strong knocking Ovsepyan down with a big right hand 35 seconds into the first round. He continued to outbox Ovsepyan, breaking him down with big and accurate body shots with both hands. By the time of the stoppage, Williams had landed 52 Procento de liaj totalaj stampiloj, compared to Ovsepyan’s 19 Procento.

 

“I probably could’ve finished him earlier, but I wanted to take my time,” said Williams. “Despite what people may think, he’s a decent fighter and a good puncher. I didn’t want to force the knockout, because that can make a boxer look unpolished.”

 

“I got the knockout and I’m ready for the next stage of my career. I am calling out the entire division, but I’d like to start with Austin Trout. I turned 25 in April and I need to start building my resume because I want to be in the Boxing Hall of Fame someday.”

 

En la SHOWTIME ANTIPODO Ĉefa evento, undefeated Montenegrin Dejan “El Dinamita” Zlaticanin (17-0, 10 KOs) delivered an upset with the second knockout of the evening, tarnishing the unblemished record of Ukrainian Ivan “El Terrible” Redkach (18-1, 14 KOs) with a TKO at1:24 of the fourth round with a devastating left hook.

 

Redkach had a six inch reach advantage over Zlaticanin, but the Montenegrin was the stronger more accurate man landing 33 percent of his total punches compared to Redkach’s 21 Procento. Redkach took a knee in the third after a low blow and an accidental headbutt that led to a small cut. At the time of the stoppage, Zlaticanin was ahead on all the scorecards, 27-30 Kaj 28-29 Dufoje.

 

A virtual unknown to U.S. fans coming in, Zlaticanin couldn’t contain his excitement afterward. “I feel like I am living a dream, Mi estas tre feliĉa," li diris. “I beat somebody who is a boxing standout in America. I knew going into the fight that I was the better fighter. I really wanted to hurt him in that ring. I heard that he was a great boxer and power puncher, but he underestimated my talents. I showed the American fan base what I am capable of.”

 

Post ŝin kverelas, Redkach was visibly distraught. “I am very disappointed," li diris. “This is my first professional loss. I don’t understand why the referee stopped the fight when there was still over a minute left in the round. I felt perfectly fine in the ring that was a bad stoppage.”

En svinga vico, promising undefeated prospect Ahmed Elbiale (11-0, 10 KOs) de Miami, Fla. by way of Egypt, scored a 1:04, first round knockout over Donta Arbaro (8-5, 7KOs) De Atlanta, ga.

Below is what the fighters and Hall of Fame promoter @Don King had to say today:

 

DEONTAY PLI #SOVA?A, Heavyweight World Champion

 

I’m thankful to everybody who has put together this great event. Tio ĉi estas revo venita veran por mi. When I made my dream to become undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, I wanted to do something to change the Alabama sports landscape.

 

People wanted me to rush my career, even I did at some points, but I’m a man who believes in timing and that there’s a moment when things should happen. We have to wait for our time.

 

This is my destiny. Once I had my precious daughter she changed my life forever and she became my motivation to get here. She’s the reason I go hard in the gym, she’s the reason I carry myself the way I do.

 

I worked too hard to get to this position. We’re not planning on this being the end.

 

It’s a privilege to make history with the first world title fight in Alabama, in any division. I’ve been about making history my entire career since the amateurs.

 

“Mi amas batali, I love this sport. They say you have to eat, sleep and breathe it and I do. I’m never out of shape. This is my life.

 

Everybody knows that Deontay Wilder gets the job done. I worked too hard to get here to just give up the belt. I want all the belts, I’m greedy like that.

 

We respect Eric Molina and what he’s trying to do. It’s a great opportunity for him. I was once where he was, in my last fight.

 

ERIC MOLINA, Heavyweight Contender

 

I want to thank all the people of Alabama, who have made me feel right at home this week. My training team has been incredible.

 

I’ve had Oliver McCall in my camp for four years, and he’s prepped me for my moment to shock the world, just like he did against Lennox Lewis.

 

I’ve dreamed about that moment, I’ve thought about it since even before I got this fight. I was going to knock someone out and become heavyweight champion of the world. It seemed so real to me in my mind, and when we signed the fight it all came together.

 

Everybody has written me off. I’ve never been undefeated and I’ve always been the underdog.

 

When my dream becomes a reality on Saturday, I’ll come right back here and give Wilder the rematch.

 

JOSE PEDRAZA, Undefeated Junior Lightweight Contender

 

I’m very happy about this opportunity. I’m not worried about the big stage because I’ve been on the big stage before. I’ve been in the big fights before and I just want to make the most of this opportunity.

 

It’s been a long camp this time but other than that there has been nothing different in training. It’s been the same great preparations as all my other fights.

 

I have a different level of skills than Klimov. I’m fast and I can do it all. Right and left handed, you’ll see all my skills on Saturday.

 

This means a lot to me and to the people of Puerto Rico. They want another champion and I’m going to be next. This is the most important fight of my career and I’m going to give it my all in there.

 

Whoever says they don’t get butterflies before a big fight is lying, but I’ve been on this stage before so I know how to control them. One that bell rings I’m going for it.

 

ANDREY KLIMOV, Junior Lightweight Contender

 

I’ve been fighting in the U.S. for five years. I turned pro a little late but I always knew that I had the chance to be a world champion.

 

Coming in as an underdog is nothing new to me. It’s happened over and over. I’m going to be there to fight, I’ll never give up.

 

The loss was a learning experience. It was my first time under the real bright lights. I took the fight because I wanted to prove something. I was upset because I knew I could do better.

 

People are going to talk about me differently after I win this world title. I’ve worked together great with my team. All the bumps in the road have gotten us to here.

 

Pedraza was a great amateur and a very good fighter. Everyone at this level is a good fighter. If you look at who we fought, my level of competition has been much higher.

 

JULIAN WILLIAMS, Undefeated Junior Middleweight Contender

We had a very tough training camp. It seems like Ovsepyan comes forward a lot and throws a lot of punches. I’m going to just keep it simple, use the jab and work punches off of that.

 

I haven’t thought about any other opponents besides Ovsepyan for the past three or four weeks because he’s the guy that I’m fighting, he’s the guy that’s gloved up. Nobody else will be in that ring besides him on Saturday night, so he is who I am worried about.

 

I definitely tailor my training camp based on the opponent I will be fighting. I get certain guys to come in and spar with me that have similar fighting styles and body types as my opponent. I try to get the closest thing to my opponent in my sparring partners so that I can get a good feel for what the fight will be like.

ARMEN OVSEPYAN, Junior Middleweight Contender

 

I’m feeling prepared, boxed over 60 rounds for this fight and I’m definitely ready to go.

 

“I’m batalanto; I take hard fights, that’s what real fighters do.

 

He’s very well-regarded but we’ll see how he likes it when I put a lot of pressure on him from the start. We both have two hands, I can win this fight.

 

It’s going to be the best fight of the night, whether we need to go the distance or if we get the knockout early.

 

 

IVAN REDKACH, Undefeated Lightweight Contender

I’m excited for this; I’m never scared of the big moment. Junio 13 is going to be the most important date of my career.

 

I’ve been in camp for four months and feel 120 percent that I’m ready to fight.

 

My opponent always tries to go forward and is very strong. He’s always trying to throw, sometimes weird punches from bottom to side to top.

 

I have harder fights ahead of me but we’ll see after this one if this is my toughest test so far.

 

I’m very happy for this chance to fight on SHOWTIME, my teammates have prepared me very well for this and I’m excited.

 

DEJAN ZLATICANIN, Lightweight Contender

 

I’m not a novice, I’ve been around and I know how to fight. I’m strong and I’m not afraid to come forward. I know Ivan is the same way, so you know it’s going to be a great fight.

 

“En mia menso, I’ve already seen Ivan knocked out. I’ve seen it happen and I’m going to see it again on Saturday.

 

I’m going to come to work hard. I come from a small country in Montenegro and I’m not here to give anything away, I’m taking full advantage.

 

 

@DON KING, Halo De Fama Varbanto

 

We’re going to have a terrific fight here in Alabama on Saturday night.

 

Deontay Wilder has proven to be a tremendous fighter and he last proved it on January 17. I’m certain that Wilder doesn’t mean to transfer the belt like Bermane Stiverne did.

 

Texans have an out of the box way of thinking, they just take what they want. You’re going to have an unstoppable force against the unmovable object. Only one will win.

Jen kion la batalantoj devis diri merkredo:

 

Deontay “La Bronza Bombisto” Pli #sova?a

 

This week has been fun. It’s been exciting. Even to see the people and faces. I’m looking forward to Saturday. It’s always the hard part when you have to wait. Especially when you’ve been training hard and it’s real intense. Everything has been great so far, and I’m glad it’s finally here. I’m looking forward to making history being that this is the first title fight in the state of Alabama. And I’m gonna put my name on it first.

Training camp has been just like any other camp. When I’m at camp, I’m always giving my all, 110 Procento. Because when it’s time to go battle, I gotta give 110 Procento. I have to perform better than I did the last time. But this is what I do. I love it and enjoy every moment it.

 

Molina’s height is something to watch out for. Everybody likes two tall guys in the ring. I’m definitely going to find out if his bark is as big as his bite. Right now his bark is loud. But we’ll see if his bite is as loud as his bark.

 

I don’t watch video or study my opponents because the way you may see them fight someone else is not the same way that they’re going to fight you. I let my people do that and break them down. I trust in believe in them, and I like the challenge as well. That’s another reason I don’t look at film. We’ll find out what he’s about on Saturday.

 

 

eric “Drummer Boy” Molina

 

Deontay is a very strong fighter,a big puncher and a big presence. But just as many strengths as he has, he also has weaknesses. We’re just trying to key in on those weaknesses.

I know this is a big fight for Alabama. I respect that and it’s an honor, but I’m also trying to make history. I plan on being the first Mexican-American Heavyweight World Champion.

 

My mental focus is on the heavyweight world title. When you expect to fight for the world title, you have to come into someone’s backyard and do what you have to put up with pressure. I can handle pressure.

 

I’ve accepted my role as the underdog. The whole world has written me off. I’ve embraced the role. I’m used to motivating myself. I’ve never been stronger, more focused. I’ve never been more physically, Mense, spiritually strong. I’m preta iri. I’m preta batali.

 

This is two big guys in the ring, and I can punch just like he can punch. It’s going to be a very exciting fight.

 

Jose “The SniperPedraza

 

This was a long, hard training camp. We began training for this shot in December. We have worked extremely hard and are ready to show the world on Saturday night.

 

We have seen video of Klimov and know what to expect on Saturday night. We will take it round by round and break him down.

 

We can box, or we can bang. Whatever Klimov brings to the table we will be ready for. I plan on using my boxing technique to control the pace, but if he wants to stand there toe-to-toe, we are fine with that as well.

 

It is important for me to look better than Crawford did in his victory over Klimov. I want to show the world that I am one of the best fighters in the entire sport.

Regarding the comparisons to fellow Puerto Rican Star Felix Verdejo – “Verdejo is a good fighter and a good guy, but Jose Pedraza will be the next world champion to represent the great country of Puerto Rico.

 

Andrey Klimov

 

This was a great camp. We worked very hard, and trained with a lot of different champions. I came out 100 percent mentally and physically ready to go.

 

I feel that the fight with Crawford actually worked to my advantage more than my disadvantage. I learned a lot in that fight and I will use that on Saturday night against Pedraza. What Pedraza brings to the table on Saturday night I will be ready for it. There will be no surprises on Saturday night, Mi estas preta.

 

I am very confident going into this fight. Pedraza is a tough opponent but I don’t think he is ready for what I am going to bring.

 

It is an honor to be here and fighting at this level. On Saturday night you will see a spectacular performance.

 

Ivan “El Terura” Redkach

 

This was the hardest training camp I have ever had. I have been training four hard months for this fight and I am in the best shape of my career.

 

Dejan is a very tough opponent. He comes forward and is very aggressive, but he is not as good as me. The world will see that come Saturday night. There is no doubt in my mind that I will be victorious.

 

This fight brings me one step closer to a world title shot, something I have been dreaming about my entire life, and there is no way he is going to stop me from achieving that. The fans are not going to want to miss this fight on Saturday night, because it’s going to be a war.

 

Dejan Zlaticanin

 

We had great sparring for this camp and it has helped us become the absolute best possible fighter we can be going into Saturday night.

 

I have no doubt and no fear. I am the better, more superior fighter.

 

This fight will not go to the final bell. I am going to knock Ivan Redkach out. There is no doubt in my mind.

 

The winner of this fight earns the shot to fight Jorge Linares for the world title, and that is exactly the fight I want. On Saturday night I will stop Redkach and earn the right to challenge for the world title.

 

It is very important for me to bring this victory back to Montenegro to all my fans and countrymen who are cheering me on.
