Jermall es posarà a prova per les habilitats zurdes de Willie Monroe, Jr. i Jermell s'enfrontarà a un dur repte de Tony Harrison, que també té la mirada posada en guanyar un campionat del món. El pes pesat Dominic Breazeale és un lluitador de retrocés que mai no surt de cap lluita, però tindrà les mans plenes contra Carlos Negron, que té pedigrí olímpic. Serà una nit especial per a aquells que estan al Barclays Center i per a aquells que escolten l'emissió en hora de màxima audiència a FOX i FOX Deportes.”

 

 

 

“FOX Sports està emocionat d'iniciar aquest nou acord amb el PBC dissabte, Desembre 22 amb aquestes lluites excepcionals,” va dir Mark Silverman, President, Xarxes Nacionals, FOX Sports. “Durant els propers quatre anys, Estem desitjant destacar la formació estel·lar de boxejadors de la PBC i explicar les seves històries increïbles.”

Amb la inclusió d'un combat de pes pesat superior a Breazeale vs. Negron, la targeta oferirà la garantia de BROOKLYN BOXING d'enfrontaments competitius, que ofereix 50/50 baralles i les millors personalitats de l'esport.”

 

 

 

Aquesta serà la tercera lluita per a cada bessó Charlo al Barclays Center, quan entren al desembre 22 un combinat 4-0 amb quatre nocauts al local.

 

 

 

Jermall Charlo, de 28 anys (27-0, 21 KOs) és un minut més gran que el seu germà bessó idèntic i va guanyar el seu primer títol mundial un any abans que Jermell quan va anotar un nocaut devastador a la tercera ronda de Cornelius Bundrage per guanyar el títol de l'IBF de 154 lliures a 2015. Nascut a Richmond, Texas i créixer a Houston amb Jermell, Jermall encara entrena a Houston amb el reconegut entrenador Ronnie Shields. Va defensar amb èxit el seu títol de 154 lliures tres vegades, inclòs un nocaut devastador del màxim contendent Julian Williams, abans de pujar de pes per fer campanya a pes mitjà.

 

 

 

Jermall va demostrar ser igual de dominant 160 lliures tal com estava 154 lliures quan va debutar amb el pes mitjà aturant a Jorge Sebastian Heiland a la quarta ronda del seu juliol 2017 fi. Jermall es va convertir en el campió interí del pes mitjà del CMB amb una victòria per nocaut de segona ronda sobre Hugo Centeno, Jr. en la seva última baralla el març 3.

 

 

 

“Estic molt emocionat i el foc està encès per tornar a Brooklyn,” va dir Jermall Charlo. “És fantàstic estar encapçalant un gran espectacle amb el meu germà bessó a Brooklyn. Serà una nit emocionant de boxa. Willie Monroe és un d'aquells lluitadors que em portaran al nivell que necessito per a totes aquestes grans baralles. I creu-me, els aconseguirem. Aquesta és una baralla que ha estat demanant i fa que sigui especial saber que m'està introduint. Tothom sap a què vinc. Vaig a noquejar. Seré el més explosiu possible i tancaré l'espectacle. El viatge comença ara a Brooklyn.”

 

 

 

Willie Monroe, de 31 anys, Jr. (23-3. 6 KOs) ha demostrat les habilitats per competir a nivell d'elit, però l'escletxa zurda s'enfrontarà a un difícil repte quan s'enfronti al contundent Charlo.. Lluitant fora de Rochester, N.Y., Monroe lluitarà per segona vegada en la seva carrera al Barclays Center després que va anotar una decisió unànime sobre Carlos Galvan el març. 3. Després va vèncer Javier Francisco Maciel per decisió unànime l'agost. 24 i s'ha enfrontat als millors pesos mitjans Gennady Golovkin i Billy Joe Saunders al llarg de la seva carrera.

 

 

 

“He estat en aquesta posició abans i no em molestarà el 22 de desembre,” va dir la Monroe. “Aquesta és la meva tercera oportunitat d'un títol, Sóc el tercer Willie Monroe de la meva família en la línia, i haver lluitat ja dues vegades pel títol, Sé que la tercera vegada serà l'encant. Hi ha una feina per fer i res serà fàcil. Jermall Charlo està allà dalt amb els meus oponents passats Gennady Golovkin i Billy Joe Saunders, doncs és una altra sortida dura. Però sens dubte és un repte que estic preparat i un repte que crec que puc superar.”

 

 

 

Jermell Charlo (31-0, 15 KOs) es va unir al seu germà com a campió del món de 154 lliures quan va anotar un nocaut a la vuitena ronda sobre John Jackson a 2016 la mateixa nit el seu germà va defensar el seu propi títol de 154 lliures. El jove de 28 anys havia guanyat anteriorment a Vanes Martirosyan., Joachim Alcine i Gabriel Rosado abans d'assegurar-se l'oportunitat del títol mundial. La lluita pel títol mundial contra Jackson també va ser el primer entrenament de Jermell a Dallas amb Derrick James, on s'entrenarà per a aquesta lluita.

 

 

 

Des que va guanyar el títol, Jermell ha defensat amb èxit tres vegades, Va oferir moments destacats sensacionals: nocauts de Charles Hatley i Erickson Lubin a 2017 abans de posar Austin Trout a la lona tres vegades al juny en el seu camí cap a una victòria per decisió. Aquesta lluita representa l'oportunitat de Charlo per estrènyer el control de la divisió de 154 lliures.

 

 

 

“Aquesta és una súper lluita per a mi, més gran que qualsevol lluita, perquè faig un gran espectacle amb el meu germà i podem mostrar el nostre talent junts,” va dir Jermell Charlo. “El desembre 22, no hi ha res darrere nostre. Després de lluitar, els aficionats se'n van a casa i haurem fet un gran espectacle. Estic treballant amb el meu entrenador Derrick James i ens estem preparant per construir i no només per Tony Harrison. Estem intentant unificar. Estem arribant per tots a la divisió. Estic molt content d'estar amb el meu germà i obrir aquest primer programa sobre el nou acord entre PBC i FOX.”

 

 

 

Harrison, de 28 anys (27-2, 21 KOs) és un dels màxims candidats a la divisió de 154 lliures que busca aprofitar al màxim el seu segon cop un títol mundial. Lluitant fora de Detroit, Harrison ha sumat tres victòries consecutives des que va perdre contra el campió unificat de 154 lliures Jarrett Hurd a 2017 en FOX. L'actuació més recent de Harrison el va veure guanyar una decisió sobre l'excampió del món Ishe Smith a la ciutat natal de Smith, Las Vegas.. Harrison té victòries per nocaut sobre Sergei Rabchenko i Fernando Guerrero i espera emergir amb un títol mundial en la seva prova més dura des que es va enfrontar a Hurd..

 

 

 

“Basat en la meva última actuació contra Ishe Smith, Sento que m'he guanyat aquesta oportunitat,” va dir Harrison. “Jermell Charlo és un lluitador fantàstic. M'agrada la seva actitud cap a l'esport i les seves habilitats al ring, i espero enfrontar-me a ell en el seu millor moment. Però això només fa que flueixi els meus sucs competitius. Serà habilitat per habilitat, i hi haurà moltes voltes d'anada i tornada des de la primera ronda. Depèn de qui és millor per complir el seu pla de joc. És difícil tenir oportunitats en aquesta divisió, així que hi entraré i deixaré al ring i convertiré en una lluita emocionant.”

 

 

 

Un membre de la 2012 U.S. Equip olímpic als Jocs de Londres, Breazeale (19-1, 17 KOs) s'ha obert camí cap a la plaça del contendent obligatori al rànquing del CMB amb impressionants victòries per nocaut en les seves dues últimes baralles. Després de perdre una lluita pel títol de pes pesat contra Anthony Joshua a 2016, el jugador de 33 anys va derrotar a Izu Ugonoh, llavors invicte, en un febrer 2017 guerra abans d'aturar l'antic rival al títol Eric Molina el novembre d'aquell any. El Glendale, El nadiu de Califòrnia també té victòries sobre Amir Mansour, Fred Kassi i Yasmany Consuegra.

 

 

 

“Aquesta serà la meva primera vegada al Barclays Center al 13 mesos des que vaig vèncer a Eric Molina i estic emocionat de demostrar als fans que estic aquí per quedar-me,” Said Breazeale. “Carlos Negron és un noi gran i un company olímpic. Vull demostrar que no tinc cap rovell. He sortit del ring, però he viscut al gimnàs i puc boxejar, premeu el pedal al metall i obteniu el nocaut quan es presenti l'oportunitat.”

 

 

 

Lluita fora de Sant Joan, Port Ric, Negron (20-1, 16 KOs) va guanyar el seu primer 13 baralles professionals després de convertir-se en professional 2009 seguint la seva etapa al 2008 Jocs Olímpics. El jugador de 30 anys ha guanyat set baralles consecutives per nocaut inclòs un desembre 2016 aturada del llavors invicte Cristian Gálvez i una actuació dominant al juny 2017 on va deixar caure a Derric Rossy dues vegades en el seu camí cap a la victòria del TKO.

 

 

 

“Estic agraït de tenir aquesta oportunitat i del meu equip que sempre ha estat allà per mi,” va dir Negron. “Qualsevol que conegui aquest esport sap com de difícil és una tasca i estic treballant dur cada dia per guanyar aquesta lluita.. Quan em van oferir Breazeale vaig dir que sí de seguida. Vull ser el primer nascut i criat campió de pes pesat porto-riqueny i el desembre 22 Lluitaré amb honor, cor i orgull. Vaig a anunciar un nou pes pesat a la barreja.”

LAS VEGAS (Maig 11, 2018) – Former super welterweight champion És Ell “Sucre Shay” Herrero suffered a split decision loss to Detroit’s Tony Harrison live from Sam’s Town in Las Vegas. En l'esdeveniment co-principal, Andrew Tabiti scored a sixth round KO overLateef Kayode to remain undefeated in the Premier Boxing Champions on Bounce main event.

 

 

 

Després 10 rondes d'acció, Harrison (27-2, 21KOs) came out on top over Herrero (29-10, 12 KOs) to gain the victory by split decision. Harrison’s speed and reach allowed him to land his shots and avoid Smith’s punches. This made it difficult for Smith to get into a groove and execute his game plan. Judges saw the bout: 97-92 Harrison, 95-94 Herrero, 96-93 Harrison.

 

 

 

“It’s difficult for me to rate my performance,” va dir Smith. “I think we put on a great show, but overall his reach made it hard for me to land my punches. I don’t think his speed or his age affected my plan, it all comes down to me. I fought a great fight and as you can see, judges ruled it a split decision.

 

 

 

“I followed the instructions my corner gave me, they asked me to move and box, i això és el que vaig fer,” va dir Harrison. “I thought I could’ve put a lot more shots together offensively. Ishe is a vet and he showed it each and every round. Each round that I thought I could stop him, he came back. I just had to put the pressure on him a little more. Considerant-ho tot, I rate my performance a B+, my guard, my defense and offense was on point, my legs were on point. I stood up after the 3rd round all the way to the end and proved to everybody I could finish like a champ.”

 

 

 

In the co-main event of the Bounce telecast, featured undefeated top contender, Tabiti(16-0, 13 KOs), who impressed hometown fans by defeating Kayode (21-3, 16 KOs) with a 6th round KO. The fight started off calm, but Tabiti was patient. By the 6th round, Tabiti was comfortable and found the perfect opportunities to land his power shots. Després 1 minut i 8 seconds of action in the 6º ronda, Tabiti landed a clean uppercut sending Kayode to the canvas for the KO win.

 

 

 

“I’m hard on myself, but I’d give my performance a solid nine,” va dir en Tabiti. “I think I came out and did what I told everyone I would; I showed my skillset, kept a steady pace, and got the KO. I was working on that body shot uppercut combo in the gym, the Mike Tyson 1-2. Següent, I’m coming for a title shot. Després d'un acomiadament de nou mesos, I’m pleased with my performance. I just want to continue bringing the fans exciting shows.”

 

 

 

“I feel that my performance was good, I wasn’t tired,” va dir Kayode. “I felt that with our style of fighting we kept clashing and hugging, we should’ve been able to keep our heads up and put on a show. I was there showing I was ready to fight, but he wanted to fight too, but the way he was coming we just kept clashing and it didn’t make the show look good. I just want to get back in the gym, keep training, and I hope Mayweather Promotions brings me back for another fight.”

 

 

 

In the matchup between Ecuador’s Erick Os (20-5, 8 KOs) and Las Vegas fan favorite Cameron Krael (13-13-3, 3 KOs), Bone defeated Krael by a close split decision, judges scoring the bout 95-94 Krael, 95-94 Os, 96-94 Os. This fight between two hungry fighters started off very measured with both guys choosing their shots wisely but turned into an all-out brawl as both fighters gave electrifying performances. Bone got the best of Krael in the early rounds, and Krael caught a second wind and started to put the pressure on Bone. He seemed to dominate the final rounds, hurting Bone several times but it wasn’t enough to up the scorecards in his favor.

 

 

 

Bone reflects on his performance by saying, “When seeing a record like his, one might trust it, but he is a great fighter, real fast and technical and loves to throw punches. He is a boxer that can cause a problem to any fighter. In the ring it was much more difficult than what I had imagined and Krael made me box more. I feel that I didn’t give it the 100 percent that I am capable of, and this fight taught me a lot. I haven’t fought in the U.S. since June and that’s almost a year, so this was a test that I learned a lot from, I’m happy judges saw this fight in my favor.

 

 

 

“I don’t agree with the judges’ decisions at all,” says Krael. “I was caught earlier in the rounds, però crec que vaig fer prou per guanyar la lluita. I should’ve won by split decision. My downfall was allowing myself to be open when I was trying to figure him out, and that’s when he caught me with those combinations. Estic decebut, because I really thought I was the better guy at the end. My plan is to get back in the gym and keep my stamina up and work on boxing these guys out.”

 

 

 

Ascendent prospecte, ladarius Miller (16-1, 5 KOs) i Jose Marrufo (10-8, 2 KOs) went the distance in 8 rounds of brutal action. Miller took control early in the rounds and slugged it out with Marrufo. Although battered and bruised Marrufo refused to back down without a fight and continued to fight back until the last bell. Els jutges van anotar el combat: 78-72, 77-74, 79-71 for a unanimous decision victory to Miller.

 

 

 

Tonight’s fights were opened with a welterweight showdown between Maurice Lee (8-1, 3 KOs) i Joel Guevara (3-4-1, 2 KOs) which ended in a TKO stoppage over Joel Guevara, Lanell Bellows, fighting out of Las Vegas battled it out with Naim Terbunja and after 8 rondes d'acció, judges ruled the bout in a draw.

Les entrades per a l'esdeveniment, which is being promoted by Mayweather Promotions, començar a $25, are on sale now and will be available at www.samstownlv.com/entertain.

 

 

 

Això és el que els participants havien de dir dimecres:

 

Van ser SMITH

 

 

 

“I’ve been in there with some great fighters throughout the year. My mentality is that no fighter is going to beat me who’s been stopped every time he’s stepped up. I have to do whatever I can to make sure that happens.

 

 

 

“This is the first time in my career that I’ve had a strength and conditioning coach for two fights in a row. Em sento molt bé ara mateix. I hate clichés and I hate saying this is the best camp of my life, but I really do feel like this is one of the best camps I’ve had. I felt like that last fight too, but I know I’ll sound like everybody else

 

 

 

“What motivates me is watching guys like LeBron James who have been doing this nearly as long as I have, and they’re still at the top of their game. That kind of longevity is what I strive for and that’s because I live that life inside and outside of the gym.

 

 

 

“I’ve been training for three months for this fight and I just want a fair shake on fight night. I thought the scorecards in the Julian Williams fight were terrible. I can’t control it but it’s definitely something I want to avoid on fight night.

 

 

 

“Nobody has put on for Las Vegas like I have. I’ve done everything in my career the hard way. I took Cornelius Bundrage’s belt in his hometown. I’m not going to be beat on Friday night.

 

 

 

“I’ve been in this game two decades and I’ve seen the highs and the lows. Si tot funciona, I’ll be victorious on Friday night. I’m ready to go on the road and take on anyone.”

 

TONY HARRISON

 

 

 

“Every time I step into the ring I’m extremely motivated. I’m fighting to feed my family. I’m from Detroit so we go through wars all the time. I was ready to jump on this fight as soon as they asked me about it.

 

 

 

“This is a fight that will get me back to a world title fight. This can get me right back into a title eliminator. What better place to do it than the boxing capital of the world? Everybody who fights wants to be in the main event fighting in Las Vegas.

 

 

 

“Ishe Smith has been in a lot of tough fights and he’s fought most of the top guys in the division. If I can get him into some danger, I want to see how his will is at that moment. I’m going to push him from round one and I think it makes for a good fight.

 

 

 

“It’s part of my mental game to make him work round after round. If I see him slow down, it will make me push more. I appreciate what he’s done, but I don’t know how much more he has left. I want to be a champion like he was.

 

 

 

“Being the first person to stop Ishe would be an opportunity I have to take. It would make a statement. But if I go the distance, it would answer all of the questions the critics have had about my motor. I’m going to be fresh until the end of this fight.”

 

ANDREW Tabiti

 

 

 

“I’m excited to put on a good show and take care of a solid durable opponent. I know that my time is coming and this another chance to show off my skills.

 

 

 

“Once I fight the top tier cruiserweights, they’re going to see what I’m capable of. I basically used Steve Cunningham’s game plan against him. I’m very adaptable.

 

 

 

“I’m focused on showing a versatile side of my boxing skills. I’m not going straight for the knockout. I want to show people that I have boxing IQ and the ability to knock anyone out in the ring. I want to show both sides of my skill set.”

 

LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO de Mayweather Promotions

 

 

 

“It’s always important to have great fights like this to Las Vegas. With Ishe Smith being a native it’s even better. This is a good fight that could put Ishe back into the thick of things. People don’t raise their hand to fight Ishe. I think Ishe has a second wind right now and he’s refreshed at this point in his career.

 

 

 

“Ishe doesn’t fight like he’s 39. There isn’t going to be anything that Tony Harrison can bring that Ishe hasn’t seen. Ishe has picked it up and I think the rest of the division knows that. It’s a deep weight class with a lot of possibilities out there. He has the ability to beat anyone out there.

 

 

 

“The future is very bright for Andrew Tabiti. It’s all in his hands. He has all the attributes that you need. He has a good team around him and it’s just a matter of finding ways to help him get to the next level. This is a great opportunity for him to showcase his skills against a very durable, tough guy in Kayode. Tabiti is looking to make a statement to all the other cruiserweights out there. He’s a guy they’re going to have to deal with in the very near future.”

Les entrades per a l'esdeveniment, which is being promoted by Mayweather Promotions, començar a $25, are on sale now and will be available at www.samstownlv.com/entertain.

 

 

 

 

Herrero, a native of Las Vegas fighting in his hometown, shared thoughts on his training camp at the Mayweather Boxing Club while Harrison, a former title challenger, gave insight into the work he’s put in at the Superbad Gym in Detroit.

 

 

 

 

Això és el que els combatents havien de dir:

 

What kind of problems does your opponent pose?

 

Ishe Smith: “I look at all of my opponents the same honestly. Tony is a good kid and a good fighter who’s fought for a world title. He had a lot of hype behind him back in the day before suffering his first loss. I’ve been in this game for so long and sparred so many future and current Hall of Famers, I look at each opponent the same.

 

Tony Harrison: “I know that Ishe is a rugged fighter who likes to get inside, and that sometimes causes things like accidental head butts and also just makes for a grittier fight overall. He’s willing to dig deep and get muddy. He comes in with a lot of experience, which you can never take lightly.”

 

How do you expect this fight to look?

 

TH: “I’m just going for the win, but if I have a shot to stop him I’m going go for it. I want to be the first one to do what nobody else has been able to do, and that is stop Ishe Smith. I think doing that would put me right back in the conversation at the top of the division. But I’m just going in there to win by any means necessary against an experienced opponent.”

 

IS: “Well my biggest opponent at my age, with the wisdom I’ve gotten, is the man in the mirror. I have to make sure that man is ready to fight. That will dictate the direction this fight goes. I’ve been on a roll of showing up ready to fight recently. If I’m proud of that man in the mirror, it’s going to be a memorable fight,”

 

How has this training camp gone? Have you made any recent adjustments to your camp?

 

IS: “I’ve had a nearly 20-year career but until now, I’ve never had a strength and conditioning coach for two consecutive fights. Being able to stay with one guy for the Julian Williams fight and then having him again, that’s going to be key. It helped me last fight and it’s going to keep me going forward.”

 

TH: “This camp has been amazing. This has been the first camp that I’ve felt like I haven’t overdone it and run my body into the ground. I’ve always tried to go over and beyond what I’ve needed to do. This camp has just been more calculated and methodical. I’ve gotten rest when I needed it. I feel great.”

 

Who have you been sparring with and what have you been looking to get from your sparring partners?

 

TH: “The atmosphere at the gym has been at a world championship level. My sparring partners have been a really versatile bunch of quality fighters. We’ve done work with U.S. L'olímpic Charles Conwell, Leon Lawson, William Williams, Lanardo Tyner, Antonio Urista and a couple others. I think we’ve covered just about whatever Ishe could throw at me on May 11.”

 

IS: “I’ve sparred everybody you can think, especially for this camp all of the guys on the Mayweather Promotions team. I’ve been sparring big guys, little guys and I’ve even joked with Andrew Tabiti about getting in there with me. I’m really having fun and enjoying my time in the gym.”

 

Do you think the 12-year age gap will make a difference in this fight? Why or why not?

 

IS: “Absolutament no. He’s been knocked out twice. I’ve never been stopped. I do a good job of ignoring the outside noise. Age is nothing but a number. It’s totally different when you’re actually in the ring with me. I’ve always been about challenging myself. I live a fighter’s life inside and outside of the ring. I’m set up to deal with anything that’s thrown my way in this game.”

 

TH: “I don’t really know how he lives his life, so I’m not really sure how his age may or may not play a factor. But I’ll be coming in at an aggressive pace, and then we’ll see how things play out. It’s a mystery for now though until we get in there and figure him out a bit. But he looked good and fresh against Julian Williams and Williams is one of the top guys in the division. So I think he’ll be confident coming off of that performance, but I’ll be ready for him.”

 

What kind of improvements have you made in recent fights and how will you implement that in the ring on May 11?

 

TH: “My main thing is my confidence. I don’t think anybody can beat me when I’m at the top of my game. When it’s fight time, I’m able to implement that and motivate myself. I know in my heart that these guys can’t beat me.”

 

IS: “I’ve been able to develop a really strong support system in my life that’s helped my career stay strong. By using that and treating my body well, I’ve been able to last. This recent work with a new strength and conditioning coach has really been a game changer and I think can take me to another level in this portion of my career.”

 

What can a win on May 11 do for you going forward? Who would you like to go after next with a win on May 11?

 

IS: “A win on May 11 is the only option. I want to have my hand raised at the end of the night. The win can mean a lot. Julian Williams was in a title eliminator after beating me, so I know anything is possible. He de guanyar. It just means everything to me. I’m never going to look past what’s on my plate. No dessert for me until I finish my dinner.”

 

TH: A win against Ishe would get me back to the truly meaningful fights, lluites del campionat. I’d love another shot at a title holder like Jarrett Hurd. The goal is to get back to the top to face the best fighters in this stacked division.”

Former World Champion Ishe Smith Battles Exciting Contender Tony Harrison in 154-pound Clash that Headlines Premier Boxing Champions on Bounce Live on Friday, Maig 11 from Sam’s Town in Las Vegas

Més! Top Contender Andrew Tabiti Faces Lateef Kayode

In Cruiserweight Attraction in Co-Main Event

Tickets On Sale Monday, Abril 23 a 12 p.m. PT

LAS VEGAS (Abril 20, 2018) – Former super welterweight champion És Ell “Sucre Shay” Herrero will battle top 154-pound contender Tony Harrison in a 10-round match that headlines Premier Boxing Champions on Bounce on Friday, Maig 11 from Sam’s Town in Las Vegas.

En l'esdeveniment co-principal, top contendent Andrés “La Bèstia” Tabiti es reunirà Lateef Kayode in a 10-round cruiserweight attraction. Smith and Tabiti, both Las Vegas residents, will be fighting on their home turf and looking to impress their hometown fans.

Les entrades per a l'esdeveniment, which is being promoted by Mayweather Promotions, començar a $25, are on sale Monday, Abril 23 a 12 p.m. PT and will be available at www.samstownlv.com/entertain.

“Mayweather Promotions has had a busy year thus far and the momentum isn’t slowing down with May 11th at Sam’s Town Live right around the corner,” va dir Leonard Ellerbe, CEO de Mayweather Promotions. “This venue is certainly one of the local properties that we enjoy working with and have made it our home over the past few years.”

“I’m looking forward to seeing Ishe Smith back in the ring after the stellar performance that he put on against Julian Williams to close out 2017. I know that he is physically and mentally prepared to take on Tony Harrison and will not disappoint. Andrew Tabiti is a young talented fighter that is on track to have a bright future. He will look to build upon his flawless record in the co-feature against Lateef Kayode on May 11.”

The 39-year-old Smith (29-9, 12 KOs) became the first Las Vegas-born boxer to win a world championship when he defeated Cornelius Bundrage for a super welterweight title by majority decision in 2013. He lost the title by split decision to Carlos Molina in his next fight before earning another title shot against Erislandy Lara in 2014, that he lost lost by decision. Smith most recently dropped a competitive contest on Bounce against Julian Williams last November.

“I picked up right where I left off from my last fight. I’m back in camp. I didn’t take any time off since my last fight,” Smith va dir. “This will be the second fight in a row where I am bringing in a strength and conditioning coach. I credit my strength & conditioning coach, who played a major role in my last performance being one of my career best. It was no question, before I had a date I was back working with my team. I feel younger, Em sento molt bé – I’m the modern day Benjamin Button. I felt great in my last fight and I’m going to continue to bring it.

“I don’t feel like I’m approaching 40, I actually feel younger and in the best shape of my life. This camp I’m focused on not leaving anything into the judges hands like last time. I can’t allow another bad call against me. It’s time for me to make a statement, dominate, and get this guy out. No sé molt sobre la meva oponent, but I’m going to make him fight my fight.”

Harrison (26-2, 21 KOs) is a heavy-handed 154-pound contender from Detroit, Michigan who has put together two strong victories since suffering a KO loss to unified super welterweight champion Jarrett Hurd in 2017. Harrison most recently scored a KO victory over George Sosa on Feb. 17 in El Paso.

“It’s about time for me to get back into the loop. This is a tough fight against Ishe, who is coming off of a good performance for himself against Julian Williams,” Va dir Harrison. “I’ve been wanting to fight Ishe since my early days as a pro, and this is exactly the kind of fight that I need. This is definitely going to be a good one.

“Ishe is almost 40 anys, but that makes no difference to me. Ishe’s been a world champion, and in order for me to become a world champion, I’ve got to go through one. It’s a difficult task, and there is definitely no way that I’m taking Ishe lightly. I’m the ultimate competitor, and there’s not a fight in the world that I wouldn’t take. I’m ready to lay it all on the line in this fight, and that’s what makes it all worthwhile when I get the win.”

Tabiti (15-0, 12 KOs) has used his punching power to make a steady climb up the cruiserweight ladder. El jove de 28 anys, who was born in Chicago and now lives in Las Vegas, took a major step forward in his last fight when he scored an impressive unanimous decision victory over former world champion Steve Cunningham on Aug. 26. A win against the veteran Kayode will further solidify his position among the top cruiserweight contenders.

“My last fight I showed everyone that I’m a smart boxer,” va dir Tabiti. “I think a lot of guys expect me to just go in the ring and knock guys out but I feel like it’s important to show that I’m versatile. I can box with you or I can use my power and get a guy out.

“Aquest campament, my goal is to focus on targeting the body plus using the IQ I gained from my last camp and fight. This guy is older, he’s coming off two losses, he’s on his way out, but I can’t overlook him. My last opponent was a lot older so I’m going to take the tools and experience and put it all together to bring the fans a great performance.”

The 35-year-old Kayode (21-2, 16 KOs) is looking to bounce back from back-to-back losses, including a unanimous decision loss to Keith Tapia in his last fight on Sept. 23. Kayode, who was born in Lagos, Nigeria and now lives in Hollywood, Califòrnia, dropped down to cruiserweight after his match against heavyweight Luis Ortiz was declared a no contest due to Ortiz failing his post-fight drug test for performance enhancing drugs in 2014. His last victory was a unanimous decision against Nick Kisner in 2015. That paved the way for a shot at the cruiserweight world title later that year, which he lost by knockout to Denis Lebedev.

“Tabiti has absolutely no experience compared to me and his opponents have been less than formidable,” va dir Kayode. “I will show him why I’m in a completely different class of fighter!”

EL PAS, TX. (Febrer 17, 2018) – Els ex campions del món Víctor Ortiz (32-6-3, 25 KOs) i Devon Alexander (27-4-1, 14 KOs) fought to majority draw in the exciting main event of Premier Boxing Champions on FOX and FOX Deportes Dissabte night from Don Haskins Center on the UTEP campus in El Paso, Texas.
Both fighters believed they had done enough over the 12 rounds to earn the decision.
“I absolutely thought I won the fight,” va dir Alexander. “The last few rounds I probably gave him, but I thought I out landed him in the 12th. I thought I did enough to win. I gave him three rounds.”
“I thought the decision was a little off and I thought I did enough to win,” va dir Ortiz. “The first few rounds were a little complicated. He’s a great boxer and he was timing me just right. I wasn’t leaving the line of fire.”
The fight turned out to be a back-and-forth affair, with Alexander dominating much of the early action. Alexander frequently caught Ortiz charging in with right hands and combinations. The attacks opened up swelling in Victor’s left eye beginning in round three.
“The eye was tough to overcome,” va dir Ortiz. “I can’t really see out of it. I really had to listen to my corner. I tried to stay composed as I could, but he’s a really good fighter.”
“My game plan was to be smart,” va dir Alexander. “Victor always has problems with people that are faster and have more ring IQ. I wanted to put him in the state of mind that he can’t win.”
Alexander won five of the first six rounds on two judges’ scorecards and all six on the other’s. Ortiz began to have more success in the second half as Alexander’s output slowed slightly and Ortiz remained persistent charging forward. This effort allowed him to win five of the final six rounds on two judges’ cards and all six of the final frames on the third judge’s card.
Després 12 rondes, the judges scored the bout 115-113 for Ortiz and 114-114 dues vegades, resulting in the majority draw. Després de la baralla, both former champions expressed interest in a possible rematch.
“I would love a rematch,” va dir Alexander. “That’s up to my team to see what’s next, but I’ll fight anybody. I’m a real fighter.”
“A rematch would be awesome,” va dir Ortiz. “If both teams agree and the fans want it, let’s make it happen.”
L'esdeveniment co-principal de la transmissió televisiva va ser invicte Caleb “Sweethands” Planta (17-0, 10 KOs) score a unanimous decision victory over former title challenger Rogelio “Porky” Medina (38-9, 32 KOs) in their IBF Super Middleweight world title eliminator.

“It was a tough fight tonight against a tough competitor who puts everything on the line,” aquesta planta. “I’m happy we got the job done tonight.”
Plant established his style early, landing several flush jabs in round one to control the distance. The Nashville-born fighter showed the superior footwork from the outset that would lead him to the victory.
“I stuck to the game plan and I did exactly what I said I was going to do,” aquesta planta. “I boxed his ears off for 12 rondes.”
“He never had me hurt, but I found his style very difficult,” va dir la Medina. “He moves a lot and he’s pretty quick, so that was tough to deal with.”
While Plant has now become the number two rated contender in the IBF 168-pound rankings, Medina was not eligible to achieve that ranking due to missing weight Divendres.
“I think I felt the struggle to make weight a little bit,” va dir la Medina. “I was a little tired in the later rounds and it probably was due to the drain to make weight. But it is what it is.”
Plant was able to mix in lead left hooks and straight right hands to continue to damage Medina throughout the action. The consistent jabs caused blood to begin pouring out of the nose of Medina beginning in round three.
While Medina continued to fight hard and occasionally land single clean punches on Plant, he was unable to follow-up with much effective offense and never was able to hurt his opponent.
Després 12 rondes d'acció, the judges scored the fight 120-108, 119-109 i 117-11, all in favor of Plant.
“Vull (IBF 168-pound champion) Caleb Truax,” aquesta planta. “He was calling me out when I was 12-0. I’m on the doorstep knocking now, let’s see if he still wants it. He can either ship me the IBF belt to my doorstep, or I’ll come take it off his waist.”
Additional televised action saw 2016 U.S. Olímpic Karlos Balderas (4-0, 3 KOs) remain undefeated as he cruised to a unanimous decision over Jorge Rojas (4-3-1, 2 KOs) in their lightweight bout.
The four-round bout was not only the first time Balderas had gone the distance as a pro, but the first time an opponent made it through more than one round against him. Balderas staggered Rojas early in round one with a counter left hook, but Rojas was able to survive the round and the subsequent stanzas.
“I felt good in there,” said Balderas. “I need to learn to relax a little bit more in the ring. I hurt him in the first round and I could have finished him quickly. My corner reminded me to slow down, but I was still throwing everything with power. I’m going to keep working on my composure in the gym. I can’t kill everyone in the first round.”
After four rounds of action all three judges scored the fight in favor of the Santa Maria, California-native Balderas by the score of 40-36.
“I’m going to keep picking up my opposition this year,” said Balderas. “Rojas had a really good chin. I’m going to stay in great shape so I’m ready whenever the call comes. I’m going to keep working and aiming for that world title shot down the road.”

VICTOR ORTIZ
“We’re ready to go once again. I’m here for what’s mine, and that’s a victory. Alexander is a nice fighter and I’m sure it’ll be a war.
“The victory is the only thing on my mind. I’m here to defeat Devon Alexander. I just need to trust my training and I know it’ll give the result I want.
“I’m definitely looking for the knockout. I want to put on a great performance for these fans. They’ve supported me throughout this promotion and I owe them something memorable.
“Devon and I have known each other for a long time, but that all goes out the window on fight night. It’s going to be a brawl. We’re going to do what we have to do to get this win and move on to the next step of my career.”
Devon Alexander
“No one wants to hear me say what I’m going to do. People want to see me beat Victor Ortiz. Nothing else matters. I’m prepared to come in and win this fight. I’m going to win and get back to the top.
“I’m so blessed to be in this position. I’ve had ups and downs in my life and career, but it’s all been leading to this moment and this part of my career. I’ve got something special coming for the fans.
“I’m really excited to be fighting in El Paso. This is clearly a fight town and I can’t wait to give them a great show en dissabte.

“No estic jugant. This is no joke to me. This is all I’ve ever had. When I was a kid with no heat and the lights were off, boxing was all I had. Dissabte night I’m getting my hand raised and I’ll be one step closer to a world title.

“I’m always going to come forward and look for the knockout. That’s what we train for and that’s the only thing on my mind. I have to go right through Caleb Plant to earn another world title shot.”
JENNIFER HAN
“I want to thank El Paso for always being there to support me. I couldn’t do what I do without all the fans.
“I’m truly blessed to have the help and support of me team. We work hard together and we win together.
“I’m thankful to Lizbeth Crespo for coming to El Paso. I’ve had problems in the past getting opponents here who are ready. She looks ready to go and we’re going to put on a great show.
“This is such a talented card full of world class fighters. If the fans show up, we’re going to keep having big events like this in El Paso.”
LIZBETH CRESPO
“I am thrilled to be here. It’s an honor to be fighting Jennifer Han. She’s the queen of El Paso and I’m excited to fight her in her backyard.

Here is what the fighters had to say Wednesday from the Wolves Den Boxing Gym:
VICTOR ORTIZ
“Vaig tenir un gran camp d’entrenament. I just made sure to listen to my coach every day and grind every day with my team. You really have to grind when people say this is your ‘last chance,’ because I’m not ready for that.
“Every fight shows a lot. Every time I step into the ring it’s a new challenge. I haven’t had any shortcuts throughout my career. I’ve never treated a fight like an easy fight.
“Life tends to take you certain places and right now I’m where I’m supposed to be. I’m 31-years-old and I believe I’m going to be able to accomplish all my goals in this sport.
“Devon Alexander is a very fast boxer who was a champion for a reason. We’ve prepared for him in each and every way possible. We’ve worked hard to be in the best condition possible. I won’t step out of the ring without that victory.
“I’ve done what I have to do to prepare for Devon Alexander. I have speed and power and that’s a scary combination for any welterweight.
“I’m thankful for the support of El Paso and I’m proud to be fighting in the main event en dissabte. We’re here to perform for everybody and have a great time.”
Devon Alexander
“I feel great right now. It’s been a tremendous training camp and I’m ready to go. I’m happy to be in El Paso to do something I love to do. Boxing is what I was born to do and I’m just ready for Dissabte.
“Victor Ortiz is a good fighter. We’ve known each other for a long time. We used to fight in a lot of the same amateur tournaments. We go back a long way but this is business. We’re not friends in the ring. We’re not playing games.
“Aquesta baralla és molt important per a mi. This can catapult me back to title contention. If this doesn’t go my way, it’s very bad for my career. If I pull out the win, it could lead to tremendous opportunities for me. This is a do-or-die fight.
“I’ve added more power in this camp. But we’ve pretty much kept it typical with that emphasis on really looking good on fight night. It’s just been an all-around good camp. Victor Ortiz can’t bring something that we haven’t seen before.”
CALEB PLANTA
“Estic a punt per aquesta baralla. A lot of boxers say they had their best camp heading into a big fight, but I truly have never had a camp this good. From sparring to conditioning, mental i espiritualment, I’m on point.
“Medina is a tough competitor. He puts it all on the line and he doesn’t quit. We’ve had problems in the past getting people to quit, but I feel we’ve figured out how to take me to that next level and get these guys out of there.
“This is a great USA vs. Mexico showdown. I’m coming to put on a show for all the fans here and watching on television.
“Everyone has a plan until they miss their first 40 cops. We both have plans, but all that matters is if you can translate that into the ring. Estilísticament, I don’t think he’s fought anyone like me. It’s exciting because everyone knows what both of us are coming to do. It’s the bull versus the matador.”
ROGELIO MEDINA
“The fact that I’ve been sparring with David Benavidez in camp and have Alex Ariza around has me feeling very confident. I’m in great shape and will be ready for a great performance on fight night.
“I know that Plant likes to run and stay on the outside. Un cop senti el meu poder, I know he’s going to run even more. I’ve been making sure I’m in proper condition to chase him, cut the ring off and apply pressure.
“Everyone knows I like to fight coming forward. I’m fully confident in my abilities to get this win and earn another shot at the world title.”
