“Ek is opgewonde net om terug te kry in die ring,” Said Garcia, wat die huidige wêreldkampioen vir die beter deel van ses jaar terugdateer na sy oorwinning oor Hall van Famer Erik Morales in 2012 deur Maart 2017. “Ek benodig die tyd af om te herstel en laat my liggaam genees.”
Garcia (33-1, 19 Uitklophoue) was 'n verenigde wêreldkampioen by super liggewig en welterweight en het geveg en verslaan baie van die mees gedugte teenstanders in beide afdelings wat strek van twee geslagte-Morales, Zab Juda, Kendall Holt, Amir Khan, Lucas Matthysse, Paulie Malignaggi and Lamont Peterson among them. Four of his five opponents in the welterweight division were world champions and 10 van sy laaste 14 teenstanders was wêreldkampioen of voormalige wêreldkampioen.
“Ek was die verdedigende kampioen vir ses jaar, so ek nodig het die res,” voortgegaan om die 29-jarige Philadelphia vegter. “Ek is gereed om af te skop die jaar in styl en neem oor die weltergewig-afdeling.”
In sy laaste stryd, 'n weltergewig botsing van wêreldtitel houers, Garcia verloor via gesplete besluit om nou verenigde 147-pond wêreldkampioen Keith Thurman in 'n harde geveg, opwindende stryd wat live uitgesaai op CBS. Die Showtime boks op CBS uitgesaai het die grootste boks gehoor van die jaar, meer as vyf miljoen kykers wat die grootste gehoor bly om te getuig 'n PrimeTime boks uitsending aangesien 1998.
Nou, Garcia lyk te hervestig sy een keer dominante posisie by welterweight, 'n afdeling wat meer boonste 10 pond-vir-pond-vegters in die sport as enige ander gewig klas spog; vegters insluitend wêreldkampioene Errol Spence Jr., Thurman, Shawn Porter, Kell Brook, Lamont Peterson en meer.
“Wat is interessant in hierdie stryd met Brandon Rios is ons style. Ons het albei graag na vore te kom. Hierdie soort matchup sal uit die beste te bring in ons albei. Ek is opgewonde om terug in Las Vegas wees. Ek het 'n paar van my beste vertonings en 'n paar van my grootste gevegte daar moes. Ek klop Lucas Matthysse en Amir Khan in Vegas. Jy veg in Las Vegas, jy is 'n superster,” bykomende Garcia.
Soos Garcia, Rios het baie van die top welterweights van hierdie era, insluitende wêreldkampioene Timothy Bradley en Manny Pacquiao geveg. Die harde-nosed slugger van Oxnard, Kalifornië., het 34 oorwinnings, 25 deur uitklophou. Die 31-jarige Rios kom altyd bereid om te veg. Met 'n aggressiewe styl en graniet ken, Hy is een van die mees vermaaklike boksers in die sport. In sy laaste stryd behaal hy 'n TKO oorwinning oor Aaron Herrera op Junie 11. 'N Oorwinning oor Garcia, 'n top-10 welterweight in sy eie reg, sou die loop van Rios onmiddellik verander’ loopbaan en eis dat hy onder die top-posisie in die afdeling geplaas word.
“Ek is opgewonde om my kritici verkeerd te bewys weer,” Said Rios. “Ek bring 'n "Bam Bam’ Rios slugfest om my fans. Danny is 'n groot vegter, maar Ek sal hom te klop, net soos ek ander in die verlede klop. Ek is gefokus en sal dit 'n klassieke Mexikaanse-Puerto Rikaanse stryd maak!”
“Showtime is gereed om die jaar begin met twee belangrike welterweight hoofren matchups,” sê Stephen Espinoza, Uitvoerende vise-president en hoofbestuurder van Showtime Sport®. “Na aanleiding van die Januarie 20ste gebeurtenis pitting Errol Spence Jr. vs. Lamont Peterson, Garcia vs. Rios beskik oor twee van die mees-stryd getoets en kwaai 147-pond-vegters in die wêreld. Voeg in die Benavidez vs. Gabriel II mede-funksie, 'n stryd wat is gewaarborg om dramatiese aksie te lewer, en ons optel reg waar ons opgehou het in 2017 die lewering van die mees dwingende en belangrike matchups in diepste afdelings boks se.”
“Ons sien daarna uit om die aksie by Mandalay Bay Events Centre in Februarie,” Said Leonard Ellerbe, CEO Mayweather Promotions. “Both Garcia and Rios are seasoned fighters that have faced the toughest competition in the welterweight division and they are both very hungry for a big win. Die mede-funksie herontmoeting tussen die jongste verdedigende wêreldkampioen David Benavidez en uitdager Ronald Gavril ons reeds weet sal opwindend. Al vier van hierdie manne het bewys dat hulle dit alles op die lyn in die bokskryt sal sit om geen twyfel oor wie die beter man is laat. Daarbenewens, Ons is besig om op 'n skare verblydend undercard nou. Almal op hierdie kaart sal nodig hê om hul 'n spel te bring’ to Las Vegas in order to be victorious on Februarie 17.”
“Danny Garcia is een van die mees stryd getoets, ervare boksers in die sport. Wat hy gedoen het in wat deur die 140-pond-afdeling voordat jy op beweeg na welterweight is net amazing,” sê Tom Brown, President van TGB Promotions. “"Bam Bam’ Rios is 'n throwback vegter. Hy was 'n stryd wat hy gerugsteun uit ontmoet nooit. Putting Garcia and Rios into the ring against each other promises nothing but fireworks in a match that should provide maximum entertainment for fans. It’s the kind of fight that belongs in Las Vegas, a classic battle that harkens to welterweight wars of the past. The first match between Benavidez and Gavril left enough room for doubt that a rematch should settle any remaining questions. Ek sou verwag albei boksers om in te kom met iets om te bewys en dit vertaal in 'n fan-vriendskaplike wedstryd.”
Die 21-jarige Benavidez (19-0, 17 Uitklophoue) het die jongste verdedigende wêreldkampioen in boks en die jongste 168-pond kampioen in die geskiedenis op 20-jaar, nege maande oud toe hy 'n drie gedruk split besluit teen Gavril om die super middelgewig titel te wen op September 8. Die bout featured verskeie swaai van momentum, opwindende ruil en 'n wilde 12ste ronde. Benavidez en Gavril gestoot mekaar om die beste prestasie van hul onderskeie loopbane tot dusver lewer.
“Ek voel ek het die stryd,” gesê Gavril onmiddellik na die besluit. “Ek oorheers die tempo. Ek kan niks anders sê… Die enigste ding wat ek kan doen is om te vra vir 'n herontmoeting.”
Op Februarie 17, Gavril sal dit kry.
“Geen verskonings hierdie tyd,” gesê Sampson Lewkowicz van Sampson Boxing. “Die minuut Benavidez klaar die stryd Ek versoek die herontmoeting-namens die wenner-vir die enigste rede dat hy nodig het om te wen deur ten sterkste en nie deur split besluit. Ek wou die publiek in staat wees om die herontmoeting het sodat almal sal weet wie die beste is. Ek verwag dat hierdie tyd Gavril sal sê dat hy regtig geslaan. As die jongste verdedigende kampioen in die sport vandag, Ek wil geen twyfel dat Benavidez is die beter mens. Dit was 'n groot stryd die eerste keer en hierdie keer sal ons sien wie die beste is werklik '. Geen verskonings. Geen twyfel.”
Veg uit Phoenix, Ariz., Benavidez het aangeteken 10 reguit uitklophoue in die aanloop tot die wedstryd teen Gavril. Sy agt-ronde KO oorwinning oor Rogelio Medina hom posisie vir die vakante titel.
“Dit is 'n stryd wat my pa, my span en ek het besluit om weer te neem aan almal wat ek is regtig die kampioen te wys en daar is meer aan my as net die jongste wêreldkampioen,” Benavidez said. “Ek voel asof ek die beter vegter en ek gaan beslis wys dit hierdie keer. Ek het geleer uit daardie eerste stryd wat hy plaas op 'n baie druk. Hy hou daarvan om te gooi op dieselfde tyd dat ek gooi. Daar is 'n paar verskillende benaderings teenoor wat om te neem. Dit gaan 'n groot nag van gevegte wees. Danny Garcia en 'Bam Bam’ Rios, dit is twee vegters ek opkyk na die sport en dit is 'n eer om te veg in hul undercard. My opleiding is goed gaan. Ons het besluit om in 'n krag en kondisionering afrigter aan te bring en ek voel baie sterk. Ek glo ek sal baie bereid wees.”
Gavril (18-2, 14 Uitklophoue) gestyg vinnig deur die range deur scoring sewe reguit oorwinnings insluitend vier deur uitklophou sedert 2015. Die 31-jarige Gavril gebore in Bacau, Roemenië en nou leef en veg uit Las Vegas. Hy het geveg 'n briljante wedstryd teen Benavidez, gryp beheer in die middel rondes en selfs val die jong aanspraakmaker in die 12ste met minder as 'n minuut links in die stryd. Uiteindelik, dit was nie genoeg as Gavril verloor op twee van die drie regters’ telkaarte.
“Ek kan nie wag om weer in die ring kry en vat daai band,” Said Gavril. “Ek het geleer sy wedstrydplan vinnig gedurende die eerste stryd, Ek geblokkeer dit goed dan, en Ek is van plan om weer dieselfde te doen. Hy het vinnig hande en krag, Ek sal nie neem wat van hom, maar ek is bereid om watter plan hy kom in die ring met. Ek weet ek het wat dit neem om hierdie tyd te wen. Voor te berei vir die stryd vir die tweede keer rond verskillende reeds, opleiding het meer intens, en my span is die voorbereiding vir my om hom uit vir eens en altyd te neem. Ek kan nie laat hom wen. Sommige mense sê ek het terug in September, en was verras deur my prestasie. Ek het gedink dit was naby, en ek het gedink die klop down het my die voordeel om te wen. Al wat ek kan doen, is om gereed te wees. Ek dink nie een van ons sal die ondersteuners op stryd nag ontstel. Ek wil Floyd Mayweather en Leonard dankie vir nog 'n geleentheid teen Benavidez. Hy is 'n groot vegter en taai mededinger en dit sal beslis 'n groot stryd wees.”

Gary Russell, Jr.-Oscar Escandon Featherweight Title Match Postponed After Escandon Suffers Injury in Training

Skryf 'n opmerking
The Card Will Be Rescheduled for A Future Date
LAS VEGAS (Februarie 28, 2017) – The featherweight championship match between Gary Russell Jr. and Oscar Escandon, geskeduleer vir Saterdag, Maart 11 at the MGM National Harbor in Maryland, has been postponed after Escandon was injured in training, according to Escandon’s promoter Sampson Lewkowicz.
“Oscar suffered an injury to his back in training and he’ll be ready to go in April,” Lewkowicz said. “He’s very sorry for the delay in the fight, but these things happen in boxing. He’s really looking forward to facing Gary Russell, Jr., but he wants to be completely healthy when they do meet.”
Escandon, a 32-year-old Colombian with a record of 25-2 met 17 Uitklophoue, is the mandatory challenger for Russell’s featherweight championship. Jermell Charlo defending his 154-pound title against Charles Hatley will be the co-feature on the rescheduled card.

“We’re working with the venue and the network to find the earliest date that we can reschedule the show,” sê Tom Brown van TGB Promotions. “I feel terrible for the fighters who have been training so hard and now have to wait. Gary is really disappointed, but he understands that injuries are all a part of the sport. But Gary will be ready to go on the rescheduled date.”

Caribe Promotions loses rights to Shumenov-Dorticos WBA cruiserweight title fight; TGB Promotions awarded rights

Skryf 'n opmerking
LAS VEGAS (Januarie 31, 2017) – The World Boxing Association (WBA) has notified WBA cruiserweight world champion Shumenov Beibu and WBA Interim cruiserweight title-holder yunier Dorticos, as well as their representatives, that Caribe Promotions has lost its rights to promote the WBA mandated Shumenov vs. Dorticos title fight.
Dorticós’ promotor, Caribe-promosies, originally won the Shumenov vs. Dorticos title fight rights last November with a winning purse bid of $350,001, which required a fight date within 90 dae. Although rumored to be held in mid-February in either Miami or Las Vegas, Caribe’s ability and willingness to actually promote the fight came into question in January, 2017. The WBA demanded that Caribe confirm its intentions and even granted Caribe additional time to respond, but Caribe failed to file confirmation of a fight date with the WBA. Because Caribe was unable to confirm its intentions, the WBA had little choice but to award rights to the second-highest purse bidder, Tom Brown’s TGB Promotions.
“I last fought 21 Mei and I have been in the gym since June because I was supposed to fight Lebedev in September,” said a terribly frustrated Shumenov. “But he backed out of the fight with me once again and I have been ready to fight since then. I signed a bout agreement to fight Dorticos on 11 Februariein Miami, but Dorticos and his promoter disappeared after I signed. They’re full of it; all they do is talk. I can’t wait to knock him out. I am waiting on my manager to call me right now to tell me the new fight date with TGB.”
Caribe Promotions has been forced to also forfeit its $35,000 purse bid deposit with 10-percent off the top going to the WBA and remainder ($31,500) distributed to Shumenov and Dorticos, onderskeidelik, on a 75-25 percent basis due to its failure to promote the fight.
Shumenov (17-2, 11 Uitklophoue), fighting out of Las Vegas by way of Kazakhstan, fought last Mei 21, toe hy gestop 15-1-1 Junior Wright in die 10ste round of their Las Vegas fight for the vacant WBA World cruiserweight title. The WBA had ruled that the Shumenov-Wright winner would be the mandatory challenger for its “Super” kampioen, Lebedev, within 90 dae, egter, it later allowed unified cruiserweight titlist Lebedev (against Shumenov’s strong objections) to fight his International Boxing Federation (IBF) mandatory defense against challenger Murat Gassiev, effectively mandating an eliminator between Shumenov and Dorticos with that winner to fight the winner of Lebedev-Gassiev. Only days prior to the Lebedev-Gassiev title fight, Lebedev was inexplicably allowed to fight Gassiev without defending his WBA title, as only his IBF belt was on the line. Gassiev (24-0) defeated Lebedev (29-3) by way of a 12-round split decision in Moscow to become the IBF cruiserweight world champion and Lebedev remains the WBA Super cruiserweight world champion, ten minste vir nou. The WBA is expected to rule on Shumenov’s objections to Lebedev’s fight against Gassiev, Lebedev’s status and whether Lebedev will remain champion having lost his last fight.
Dorticos has made false claims in the media that Shumenov, who had been waiting for the WBA to rule on his petitions to force Lebedev to fight him without further delay, had been avoiding him. It is ironic now that Dorticos’ own promoter first sought to delay and has now defaulted on the long-awaited confrontation by failing to promote the Shumenov-Dorticos title fight within the WBA deadline.
A former WBA Super light heavyweight world champion, the 33-year-old Shumenov is the first two-division world champion from a Soviet-bloc country.

“Vandag (Dinsdag) is my eerste dag terug sparring. Ek werk op my tydsberekening, ring generalship and lateral movement. We’re right on course.
“Oscar Escandon is sterk en duursaam. Hy kom reguit vorentoe. As sy hoek was slim sou hulle probeer om my hand wegneem spoed wat 'n groot faktor wees in die stryd. Hy sal nodig hê om die afstand te sluit, versmoor my stoot so spoed is nie 'n faktor.
“Ons is besig om op besig om net so gemaklik veg aan die buitekant as ek veg aan die binnekant.
“Baie van vegters is een-dimensionele. Ons probeer om daardie diamant skyn aan alle kante te maak.
“Ek weet dat ek seëvierende sal sonder twyfel. Enigiemand wat jy kry in die ring met hierdie klein, 8-ounce gloves always has a possibility of creating an upset whether he’s a big puncher or not. Dit neem net een skoot. It’s the fighters’ job to take away that opportunity.
“Ek is opgewonde om te veg, tydperk. I don’t even think about this fight being a title defense. Dit neem 'n sekere tipe geestelike taaiheid en sielkundige krag in die ring te kry en uit te voer. Enigiemand wat in die ring teen my kry is 'n kampioen in my oë.
“It’s been about seven months since I fought. I’m always anxious to get back in the ring.
“As ek verby Escandon sou ek graag om te veg Leo Santa Cruz, we fought in the amateurs. But we never underestimate any opponent and we are focused on getting this fight out of the way first. Lee Selby is another guy that we’re looking at. Of course Abner Mares, selfs al het hy verloor, would be a great fight. These are the type of guys that we’d like to fight.
“Met my gesin saam met my in die oefenkamp beteken alles vir my. Dit is waar ek my energie uit. Baie van die ouens voel hulle het om weg te kom vir oefenkamp, maar ek het nie die huis te verlaat. My familie is die dryfkrag agter my oefenkamp en waar ek my krag en motivering. Aan die einde van die dag, Ek boks vir my familie.
“As my broer eindig veg op my undercard dit baie cool vir my sou wees. Dit sal snaaks wees, want as hy nie meeding, jy sal beslis sien my werk sy hoek voor my titel stryd.”
GARY RUSSELL SR.:
“Ek weet dit is 'n kampioenskap stryd, maar ons gaan in elke stryd soos dit is 'n titel stryd. Ons weet nie 'n ton van sy teenstander, ons het net lei soos kampioene.
“Ek het ses seuns, almal van hulle is vegters. Hulle het almal verskillende eienskappe as mense wat anders vertaal in wie hulle is as mense en in die ring.
“Antonio Russell is 4-0, Hy is regtig hard gewerk al van sy lewe. Buite die gimnasium, kan hy iets los. Antoine, wat net gekwalifiseer vir die Olimpiese proewe, is briljant. Ek is baie trots op hom, want hy het net gegradueer Valedictorian van sy klas met die hoogste GPA van iemand in Prince George's County. Dan moet jy Gary, wat so hard werk, Hy is die toekoms patriarg van die familie. Hy het 'n ou gees.
“Ek is trots op al my kinders en ek is trots daarop dat ons 'n sterk familie-eenheid. Ons het baie geleer uit verlies Gary se Vasyl Lomachenko. Ons het 'n leuse by die gimnasium wat hang aan 'n banier, dit sê 'Sukses is die uiteindelike wraak’ en ons het sedert die verlies geleef wat ooit. Ons het geleer 'n belangrike les uit die stryd en het op verhuis.
“Boks is 'n vlugtige ding, jy dit nie vir ewig nie. Ons doen ons eie ding. Ek is nie bekommerd oor wat ander mense gedoen het.
“Soos 'n vader, jou vaderlike instink skop in, want in hierdie sport, enigiets kan gebeur. Jy wil nie om te sien jou seun beland seer. So lei ons om enige omstandighede. As gevolg van dat instink, Ek het 'n streng en hard op my seuns om te probeer om hulle veilig te hou.”
GARY ANTONIO RUSSELL (Veg op die Vrydag, Oktober. 30 nie-televisie Premier Boxing Champions op Bounce TV undercard en potensieel die November 14 undercard.):
“Met die manier waarop ons die trein en stryd, ons verdediging stel ons oortreding en ons oortreding stel ons verdediging.
“My werk is om in te gaan en wen gevegte. Ek weet my teenstander is 'n lang man, maar ek weet ook dat hy nie gaan wen. Hy het die pons krag of ring generaalskap dat ek nie.
