亞特蘭大 (六月 27, 2021) – Gervonta “Tank” Davis, one of the biggest stars in all of boxing, put on a career-defining performance Saturday night live on SHOWTIME PPV from the award-winning State Farm Arena in Atlanta, scoring a scintillating 11日round TKO over the previously-undefeated馬里奧·巴里奧斯 to capture the WBA Super Lightweight Championship in the action-packed Premier Boxing Champions event. 觀看停工 這裡.
“I made it tough. I definitely could have made it easier but I went up two weight classes and I got the job done,” said the 26-year-old Baltimore native, who was headlining his second SHOWTIME PPV. “I hit him with some clean shots, but I’m the type of fighter that wants to catch you with clean shots. I don’t just want to throw any type of shot. The shots I was throwing were missing, but eventually I caught up with him.”
In a fight that lived up to its potential, 戴維斯 (25-0, 24 科斯) and Barrios (26-1, 17 科斯) combined to put on an unforgettable main event in front of a sold-out crowd of 16,570. 戴維斯在開局緩慢的四輪比賽中僅落地 11 拳, 比賽從第五輪開始就產生了煙火. 在第八輪比賽中, 《坦克車》生涯中第一次、第二次將「阿茲特克」搬上畫布. 第一, 戴維斯一記橫掃右勾拳，將這位前冠軍擊倒在地. 過了一會兒, 戴維斯左手直拳再次擊倒巴里奧斯. 勇敢的巴里奧斯站了起來, 在第八局戴維斯試圖終結他的嘗試中倖存.
國際拳擊名人堂成員兼發起人弗洛伊德·梅威瑟鼓勵戴維斯站在他的一邊, 左撇子在第十一回合恢復活力, 意識到記分卡上的戰鬥可能很接近. 「坦克」在戰鬥中第三次擊倒巴里奧斯, this time with a left uppercut to the body. The bloodied Barrios rose again, only to be greeted with another barrage of punches from Davis. Referee Thomas Taylor stepped in to stop the fight at 2:13 of the eleventh round.
“I knew for sure if I catch him, I’m crackin,” Davis told SHOWTIME’s Jim Gray. “So I caught him, 的，它顯示. My coach was telling me to go to a jab style but I’m a southpaw so they know I’m going to that jab side. So I would try and bait him in. I faked like I was going left, and I threw my right. And my hook over top, and that’s where I caught him.”
In the final six-and-a-half rounds, Davis landed 85 拳. 他降落 45 他的權力拳％的 (82/182), while Barrios more than held his own, out-landing Davis in six of the ten completed rounds.
“I knew he was hurt. 我只需要在正確的時間抓住他,」戴維斯繼續說道. 「佛洛伊德 [梅威瑟] 來找我，很誠實地說我很沮喪,」戴維斯繼續說道, 在停賽時，誰在所有三名裁判的記分卡上實際上都領先. 「所以他說『讓我看看你很棒。』你知道我們在狗窩裡是怎麼做到的, 嬰兒!”
「我只是遵循了比賽計劃,」25歲的盧賓說, 誰改進到 6-0 since suffering the only loss of his career to 154-pound kingpin Jermell Charlo. “I would just go back to my corner after each round and Coach [凱文·] Cunningham and my team would just say, ‘Stick to the jab. Stay consistent with your jab.’ I’m way faster than him and I knew he had good power and he was trying to counter me. So I would fade him out and use my jab consistently.”
在第三輪, Lubin nearly put an early end to the action with a huge frame that had Rosario on the back foot. In the closing moments of the round, Lubin landed a right hook that had Rosario wobbling back to his corner after the bell rang. Miraculously, in the next round, Rosario was able to recover and completely turned the tables, wobbling Lubin with a left jab.
The action turned up even more in the sixth round. 魯賓, sensing that Rosario was susceptible to the body attack, landed a vicious left-right body combination that sent Rosario to his knees in what ultimately proved to be the turning point of the fight. 玫瑰園, clearly hurt, was never able to recover and Lubin finished him off moments later against the ropes.
“I started to hurt him in the body as soon as the first round started,” the 2016 “Prospect Of The Year” Lubin said. “I started with the body and I saw him grunt. So I was able to hurt him to the body. I just wanted to distract him with the jab, then go downstairs. And I was able to get him out. I knew even if he got up after the knockdown that the fight was over. I know I’m a great finisher and I knew I was going to get him out of there as soon as I saw him drop.”
Lubin landed 44 他的權力拳％的 (80/288) 和 20 of his landed punches were to the body. 同贏, Lubin puts himself squarely in the picture for a second world title opportunity.
“I want a shot at the world title next,“他說，. “I want everyone at 154 英鎊. I’m No. 1 in the WBC but I chose to fight Rosario. I don’t duck anybody. I want to say that I fought everyone in my division when I win the world title.”
“現在, I feel so bad,” said Rosario. “There is no lesson to be learned yet, everything is so raw still. I lost again, and it’s so frustrating. I was convinced I was going to win. The fight started to turn in the second round. I was just trying to keep up and listen to my corner. Lubin is a great fighter. He deserved to win. I hope he enjoys his victory.”
On the biggest stage of his career, Dominican Republic’sCarlos Adames(20-1, 16 科斯) rose to the occasion, scoring a highlight-reel third-round knockout over the streakingAlexis Salazar(23-4, 9 科斯) in the second fight of the pay-per-view. 停工的時間為 2:59 第三輪. Watch the KO這裡.
In the eventful and decisive third round, referee Jim Korb deducted two points from Adames for excessive holding. 然而, Adames made certain that the point deduction would have no impact on the fight’s result. He dropped Salazar with a lead left hook flush on the chin, a punch that Salazar never saw coming. The 25-year-old Mexican was able to get back to his feet, 但當薩拉查明顯無法繼續比賽時，科爾布要求暫停.
「我開始感覺 (受傷) 在第二輪和第三輪,” said a disappointed Mendez. “My knuckles were broken and I couldn’t throw a punch anymore after I cut him with my right hand in the first round. I tried to keep fighting from the fourth round on, 但無濟於事. It was useless.”
同贏, Akhmedov keeps himself in the running for top fights in the deep 140-pound division. Mendez drops to 2-4-2 in last eight fights.

“[鄰里] 是一位年輕的冠軍. 我要提升兩個重量級來面對他. 如果他們在此之後不尊重我, I don’t know what I have to do. It’s pretty cool. This is actually the first time I’m fighting at this weight class. Whatever opportunities they give me at 135, 或 140, I’ll take them.”
馬里奧·巴里奧斯
“This is all brand new, but I’m taking it all in and excited to be in Atlanta. I’m just excited to go out there on Saturday and give everybody a great fight.
“No doubt about it, Tank is by far the toughest test for another title defense and I’m going to do whatever it takes to be successful on Saturday. There’s going to be fireworks on Saturday.
“This is a huge opportunity and I’m very excited for this chance. This is a very winnable fight for me, regardless of what everyone has been saying. I’m just excited to be back in the ring and in Atlanta.
“I think it’s not going to be until we both get in the ring that people realize how much size I really have for 140 英鎊. 不知何故, he’s still the favorite although he’s the challenger in this fight. I just take that as more motivation for me.
“Height-wise, 達到. Those are the major advantages. I’m just as dangerous as he is. And just as explosive and just as fast. And I will show that on fight night.
“When they came to me, I said let’s do it but I was like, ‘I’m not going down to 135,’ and they said, ‘Nah, he’s going to come up.’ And I said, ‘Even better.’
“I’ve seen him fight plenty of times. He’s a great fighter and he’s been very successful at the lower weight divisions against the smaller opponents. But this is a different fight for him.
“I didn’t take too much from the Leo Santa Cruz fight. 我覺得 [Gervonta] fought him the way he did because he didn’t respect Santa Cruz’s power. But with our fight he’s going to have no choice and he’s not going to fight me the way he fought Santa Cruz. Whatever he does fight night, I’m going to have to adapt.
“I’ve been boxing just as long as he has and I have an excellent boxing IQ, just as he has. It only takes one punch to change a fight, and he definitely has that one punch. But I’ll find out if that power carries over to 140 英鎊“。
ERICKSON LUBIN “We always work hard. 每個營都很艱難. 只是這次我們加長了一點. 自從我上次比賽以來，我們一直在努力，我很高興能出去展示我的才華.
