Онтаріо, Халіф. (Листопад 5, 2019) – The highly anticipated WBC Super Welterweight Title rematch betweenТоні “Superbad” Харрісон і Jermell “Залізна людина” Charlowill headline live in primetime in FOX PBC Fight Night Action and on FOX Deportes Saturday, Грудня 21 from Toyota Arena in Ontario, Каліфорнія.
Harrison vs. Charlo II is a high-voltage rematch that has been building ever since the end of the first matchup. The two were set to meet in June, but the rematch was postponed when Harrison suffered torn ligaments after spraining his ankle in training.
Now that he is fully healed, Harrison is ready to solidify his hold on the title while Charlo is ready to take back what he believes belongs to him. The rematch comes just one day short of a full year from the first time the two stepped into ring against each other on FOX.
“After a dramatic and razor thin first fight, Tony Harrison and Jermell Charlo are sure to be at their best on December 21 when they settle their rivalry in a can’t miss rematch,” said Tom Brown, Президент TGB Акції. “This is the kind of high stakes 50-50 fight that belongs in primetime on FOX and I know that the Southern California boxing fans watching in Ontario will love everything that these two champions bring to the ring.”
Квитки на заходи, which is promoted by Lions Only Promotions and TGB Promotions, are on sale now and can be purchased at Ticketmaster.com.
In the first meeting, Harrison deployed a tactical defensive strategy that blunted much of the force of Charlo’s high-powered offense. The intrigue of the rematch is whether Harrison will be able to use a similar strategy to remain champion or will Charlo be able to impose his will on Harrison and regain the title.
The 29-year-old Harrison (28-2, 21 КО) entered the first match against Charlo having come up short in his previous world title attempt. He lost to Jarrett Hurd in a bid for the IBF title in 2017. Харрісон, a protégé of the late Emanuel Steward and a native of Detroit, bounced back with three strong performances, including a decision victory over former world champion Ishe Smith.
“The delay just made me even hungrier heading into this fight,” сказав Харрісон. “Watching Charlo the night we were supposed to go shine, and rejuvenate himself, it built up so much hunger in me. I’m tired of the talk and the noise. Я готовий йти.
“We’re looking to work smarter this time,” added Harrison. “I think everything I did before worked, but we want to make it even more decisive. The plan is to be more technically sound overall. You may see an early knockout. It’s tense between both parties. I’m pretty sure he wants to knock me out as much as I want to knock him out. Whoever has the best plan will win. But I’m by far the better athlete. Athlete for athlete it’s not even close. I’ll beat him in everything, running, баскетбол, футбол. My style is perfect for his style. He’s Shane Mosley to my Vernon Forrest. I’ll beat him every time I face him.”
It was an emotional night for Charlo (32-1, 16 КО) the first time he fought Harrison. He and his twin brother, Jermall, the WBC Middleweight World Champion, were defending their titles on a FOX PBC Fight Night doubleheader at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Jermell and many ringside observers thought he had done enough to beat Harrison, but the judges saw it differently, handing Harrison a unanimous decision victory and setting up a hotly contested rematch.
A 29-year-old native of Houston, Техас, Charlo, won the title with a knockout victory over John Jackson in 2016. He went on to establish himself as one of the best young finishers in the sport with devastating stoppage victories over Charles Hatley and Erickson Lubin in defense of the title. He scored a majority decision over former world champion Austin Trout before taking on Harrison and most recently scored a knockout victory over Jorge Cota on FOX in June.
“I still feel strongly that I won that first fight and I’m going to do things in a more dominant fashion this time,” Саїд Charlo. “I’m coming in to this fight being the overpowering, сильний, ferocious Jermell Charlo. Tony Harrison is not on my level. It’s my job on December 21 to prove that and to prove my worth. I’m coming in there mentally focused. When I fought Jorge Cota, that’s a prelim of what’s to be expected from me in the future.
“I want to look for the knockout and set it up,” continued Charlo. “I don’t want it to go the judges. That’s my worst nightmare. If it does go 12 раундів, he’s going to be very injured at the end. The loss taught me how to be more patient and to take things step-by-step. I’m going to show everyone why Jermell Charlo is a threat to the whole 154-pound division. I personally feel I’m the best in the division. I’m an upgraded Jermell Charlo that you’ll see on December 21.”

Here is what Lubin had to say about Saturday’s fight and more:
On his matchup against Ishe Smith:
“Ishe Smith has been in the ring with the best of them and he’s never been stopped. He knows how to fight and I’m expecting him to be at this best. I will have to dictate the pace right from the opening bell. My goal is to be the first person to take him out, but if it goes the distance, I’m okay with that as well. I’m going to win this fight and win it impressively.”

He’ll do the same if I’m doing something right, so I like his style of training and I’m learning more each day we are together. This will be our first fight together and I’m excited to get back in the ring. We have a nice game plan in place that we will execute on fight night.”
On training in Las Vegas for the first time in his career:
“Training in Las Vegas is no joke, because we are training in higher elevation than what I’m used to in Florida. Getting away from the distractions at home has been relaxing. I’ve been getting great sparring and my timing is right on point. Las Vegas is definitely the place to be for high level sparring and training.”
On fighting in Southern California for the second time in his career:
“I really like fighting on the west coast. The fans are great, and the weather is beautiful. I know we’ll be fighting outdoors so I’m looking forward to that. Everyone knows this venue has hosted some really good fights. I’m looking to steal the show on Saturday night.”

Джеймс (23-1, 10 КО) built on the biggest victory of his career – a knockout over tough veteran Diego Chaves last December – with a decision win against Abel Ramos in April at the Armory and on FS1. The 30-year-old James has picked up three-straight victories since suffering the only loss of his career – a unanimous decision defeat to Yordenis Ugas in August 2016. He returns to downtown Minneapolis looking to keep his momentum going towards the top of the welterweight division.
“I’m in camp training hard for another thriller at home against a pressure fighter in Mahonry Montes,” said James. “I’m going to use my height, range and skills to show that I’m hungry and keeping my eyes on the prize. Once I get past Montes, a big name is going to have to fight me. I’m right on the road to a world title challenge.”
The 28-year-oldМонтес (35-7-1, 24 КО) has challenged everyone from world champions to top rising prospects throughout his pro career and enters this bout having scored knockout victories in consecutive fights. Representing Sinaloa, Мексика, Montes owns a victory over welterweight contender Francisco Santana in a fight last year that saw Montes drop his opponent on the way to a decision victory.
“I’m am so excited to have this opportunity against Jamal James,” said Montes. “My last loss was unfortunate because I thought I had my opponent hurt, but I’ve picked up a couple of wins since then and have been training very hard. I’m ready to show everyone that I belong with the best fighters in the world. I’m never in a bad fight and I’m going to show the fans in Minnesota how a real Mexican fights.”
A two-time title challenger, Монро (22-3, 6 КО) has faced current titlists Gennady Golovkin and Billy Joe Saunders in his forays into championship fights. The 31-year-old from Rochester, New York has defeated Gabriel Rosado, Brian Vera and John Thompson since 2015 to earn multiple opportunities at the middleweight title. Monroe most recently won a dominant decision over Carlos Galvan in March.
Fighting out of Virginia, Алім (18-1-1, 11 КО) stopped Juan De Angel in the sixth-round of their May fight to get back in the win column after his first defeat in a bout against Hugo Centeno Jr last August.

23-річний Кларк (13-0, 7 КО) has used his height and reach to establish himself as a fast-rising prospect on his way to contender status. The Cincinnati-native had two impressive victories in 2017, first defeating then unbeaten Ivan Golub and then a decision victory over Domonique Dolton last November as he came out victorious against his toughest pro opponent so far.
Чотки (15-1-1, 11 КО) fights out of Miami but is originally from the Dominican Republic. Rosario suffered his first defeat last year at the hands of Nathaniel Gallimore, but has rebounded to be undefeated in his last four fights. This run has seen the 23-year-old fight to a draw with Mark Anthony Hernandez in February before defeating Justin DeLoach and dropping him twice on his way to a decision victory in May.

У СуботуЯ здійснив поїздку на захід від мого лондонського дому до прекрасного міста Кардіфф на захід, який рекламується Оуеном Уоткінсом на Льодовій арені Уельсу..
Хедлайнером заходу мав бути довгоочікуваний поєдинок за титул чемпіона Уельсу у важкій вазі між Харі Майлзом та Доріаном Дарчем., для Всесвітнього боксерського фонду (WBF) Чемпіонат Європи у важкій вазі. Однак бій довелося відкласти, оскільки Дарч не зміг взяти участь через дискваліфікацію, яку він отримав після бою на іншому заході за кілька тижнів до цього..
Незважаючи на цю невдачу, Оуен Уоткінс вирішив, що шоу має продовжуватися, і я радий, що він зробив такий вибір., оскільки в запланованому андеркарті було представлено ряд аматорів вищого класу, я з нетерпінням чекав, щоб побачити їхні професійні дебюти.
Першим був дебют Карла Томаса проти Кайла МакНіколаса в чотирьох раундових змаганнях у напівважкій вазі..
Обидва хлопці дуже добре почали демонструвати свої боксерські навички.
По ходу раунду Томас посилив тиск, підперши МакНіколаса на мотузки і почав розривати постріли в тіло та голову ліверпульця.
Коли раунд йшов до останньої хвилини, Томас вдарив по голові, що сколихнуло МакНіколаса до глибини душі., Томас продовжив рух лівою стороною до тіла, а потім майже відразу ж великим лівим ударом до тіла, що привело МакНіколаса до полотна.
На диво Макніколас зробив підрахунок, вони впевнені, що розводять їх жорсткими на Мерсісайді, оскільки це було злісне тіло, пострілене трохи нижче нижнього ребра, ви просто не бачите, як люди встають після них так часто.
Після перезапуску Томас повернувся в атаку, спочатку робив жорсткий джеб, потім ще один укол ліворуч у тіло та подвійний праворуч у голову.
Томас тримав тиск, поперчити МакНіколаса зловживаючою комбінацією «Тіло-голова», за яким слідує ще один хороший джеб, щоб підтримати МакНіколаса в нейтральний кут, а потім відпустити сенсаційний лівий хук в тіло, що надісланоМакніколас опустився вдруге.
Рефері Роджер Райлі розпочав підрахунок, а коли підрахунок досягнув восьми, Макніколас почав намагатися піднятися без успіху., не залишаючи рефері іншого вибору, окрім як відмахнутися від поєдинку, коли пролунав дзвінок, що означає кінець першого раунду.
Я радий сказати, що з Макніколасом все було добре, і він невдовзі встав на ноги.
Мої останні думки щодо цього конкретного бою; це, можливо, тривало лише один раунд, але який це був тріщинний раунд.
Далі побачимо, як Качпер Дудзінскі дебютував у професійному бою проти Майкла Келлі з Белфасту в чотирьох раундах суперсередньої вазі..
З самого початку Дудзінський отримав за своїм серйозним джебом і почав контролювати процес за допомогою швидких рук і жорстких подвійних джебів..
Келлі не кухоль, недовго постріл, він такий же кмітливий, як і вони, але навіть йому довелося погодитися на оборонну позицію і терпляче чекати будь-якої нагоди, як би струнка не була, протистояти, яких, чесно кажучи, було небагато.
Дудзінський справив серйозне враження проти Келлі і має фантастичне майбутнє в цьому спорті.
Можливо, це був його дебют, але на основі його виконанняв суботуніч, проти колишнього справжнього претендента на титул, Я вважаю, що він пройде весь шлях до вершини і теж цього заслуговує, будь-хто, хто може утримати Келлі на задній ногі так, як Дудзінський робив майже всі чотири раунди, без сумніву, є чимось особливим.
Не зрозумійте мене неправильно, Келлі завдав кілька крутих ударів, але сенсаційно швидка швидкість руки Дудзінського і чудовий захист звели ці можливості до мінімуму.
Приємний маленький штрих Келлі в кінці фінального раунду, слідуючи реакційному ходу «матричного стилю»., що майже не завадило йому торкнутися рукавиці, проте, На його роздратування він отримав підрахунок від рефері Кріса Келлі, хоча Келлі був переконаний, що насправді уникав, щоб його рукавичка торкалася полотна, але замість того, щоб стояти і протестувати, він опустився і продовжував віджиматися під час рахунку, щоб показати своє несхвалення, до великого задоволення натовпу.
Після чотирьох блискучих раундів не стало несподіванкою, що саме Дудзінський тримав руку вгору – офіційний результат показав, що Дудзінський забив свою першу профі-перемогу з рахунком a 40-35 точки маржа.
Наступним був Бен Макгіверн проти Бена Хафа в чотирьох раундових змаганнях у важкій вазі.
Що боротьба, Макгіверн головним чином керує розглядом справи, змушуючи Хафа на задню ногу, а також на мотузки для гарного шматка першої строфи. Хаф, можливо, перебував у обороні протягом значної частини першого, але коли з'явилися можливості, він використав їх стильно.
У другому раунді це був фактично повний перелом, з контрольною боротьбою Хафом і ставленням Макгіверна на задню ногу, і мотузки, подібно до того, як шотландець очолив перший раунд.
Третя строфа була набагато ближче бойовою справою, настільки, що мені було важко їх розділити, точки мудро.
Четвертий почався більш-менш як третій закінчився, з обома головними героями, які йдуть на це молотком і щипцями, але в міру того, як раунд проходив, Макгіверн прискорив темп достатньо, щоб не тільки забезпечити раунд, але й перемога.
Після чотирьох сенсаційних раундів дії, як я віддав вище, саме Макгіверн вийшов переможцем, Рефері Роджер Райлі відзначив відмінну боротьбу 39-37 на користь шотландця.
Після бою обидва боксери погодилися на реванш, про яку мені достовірно повідомили, ймовірно, відбудеться в Ліверпулі8 вересня– позначте дату у своєму щоденнику, це бій, який ніхто не повинен пропустити!
Передостанній бій ночі дивись Блеквуд, Південний Уельс’ Ліам Пріс проти дуже, дуже пізня заміна Пентрефоела, Північний Уельс’ Стеффан Х'юз у загальноваллійському конкурсі.
Яким коркером був цей бій, це був повноцінний трилер від початку до останнього дзвоника.
Враховуючи, що Пріс мав значний недолік у вазі, він справді пішов на це, передаючи бій своїм більш досвідченим, і важче, противник.
Пріс впевнено боксував не тільки в атаці, але й у захисті від точних екзотів, які запустив Х'юз.
Пріс був вражаючим у всьому, і я впевнений, що нікого на Льодовій арені Уельсу не здивувало, коли карту рефері Кріса Келлі зачитали як 40-36 перемога за очками південно-уельського хлопця.
У фінальному професійному поєдинку цієї ночі високо оцінений колишній аматор-зірка Порта Талбота Леві Гріффітс проти Скотта Макінтайра з Ліверпуля..
Гріффітс такий гладкий, класний молодий хлопець почав добре і зробив кілька різких пострілів, що змусило Макінтайра перейти до «плану Б» на ранньому етапі, намагаючись утриматися всередині, щоб не допустити, щоб валлієць отримав свої великі удари.
План Б Макінтайра, можливо, був некрасивим, але це було дуже ефективно.
Після початкового «відкрити’ період, що дозволило гладкому валлійцю досягти хорошого рівня успіху, більша частина бійки могла відбутися в телефонній будці.
Макінтайр явно не мав наміру давати Гріффітсу будь-яку можливість дати значні удари, він просто тримав його прив’язаним весь час, іноді нечесними засобами, настільки, що після численних попереджень про те, щоб тримати або не ламати, коли сказано, рефері Роджер Райлі відняв очко, однак навіть це відрахування балів не завадить ліверпульцю забезпечити перемогу, офіційний рахунок 39-36.
Повинен сказати,, хоча особисто я розчарований тим, що бій за титул чемпіона Європи Майлз-Дарч WBF не відбувся, Промоутер Оуен Воткінс склав таку висококласну картку підтримки, що я, а також я впевнений, що всі присутні були добре задоволені пропонованим тарифом і з нетерпінням чекали його наступного підвищення, який відбудеться в Центрі дозвілля Cwrt Herbert у місті Ніт на22й вересень.
