Rivas, žinoma, was the victim of a very controversial defeat in July 2019 in England to Dillian Whyte (25-1), by way of a 12-round decision despite having sent him to the mat in the ninth round.

Oscar Rivas is in the best shape of his career,” according to his trainer, Marc Ramsay. “I know Rozicki very well and he is very dangerous. He reminds me of a big Joe Smith, Jr, who without being the best technician, compensates with enthusiasm, aggressiveness and determination in the ring

The historic showdown marks the return of American television to Canada for the first time since December 2018 as it will be broadcast live on ESPN + Jungtinėse Amerikos Valstijose.

As expected, the 6-round rematch between Alexandre Roberge (1-1-0) and Francis Charbonneau (3-1-0, 1 KO.) remains on this card. The two cruiserweights caused quite a stir on March 16th in their 6-round confrontation, which Charbonneau won by way of split decision.

Canadian light heavyweight prospect Terry Osias (9-0, 4 Kos) was supposed to have a fabulous 2020 with a series of fights planned at the Casino de Montreal. The pandemic decided otherwise, nors. Osias finally finds his way into the ring again on Oct. 22nd against his Mexican opponent, Joaquin Murrieta (9-9-3, 7 Kos), who has won his last two fights by knockout.

Oscar “Kaboom” Rivas on special mission to become heavyweight & bridgerweight World ChampionImportant announcement

Kvebeko Miestas, Ontarijo, Kanada (Kovas 24, 2021) – Fresh off his recent third-round stoppage of Sylvera “Sly” Louis jų rematch, Pasaulio bokso taryba (WBC) Ar ne. 1 rated bridgerweight Oskaras "Kaboom" Rivas (27-1, 19 Kos) is on a special mission to not only become the first bridgerweight world champion but capture the world heavyweight crown as well.

A 2008 Kolumbijos Olimpo, Rivas is currently rated as the WBC’s No. 1-rated contender in the bridgerweight division (-224 Svoris.), ir Nr. 9 in The Ring magazine’s heavyweight rankings.

Prior to his rematch with Louis, Rivas hadn’t fought in 20 months due mainly to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. Never-the-less, “Kaboom” remained professional, training throughout his ring absence, and now he’s positioned to fight for the inaugural WBC bridgerweight title.

“I love this sport,” Rivas said from his Montreal home. I dedicate my life to boxing. I never stopped training because I love it and I can’t live without it. Esu sportininkas! The pandemic didn’t make things easy for me or anybody else, especially for a natural heavyweight like me.

“In the ring, I am having fun, and that’s what drives me. After I was able to knockdown my opponent (Luisas) pirmajame etape, my coach asked me to take advantage of the opportunity to box because I hadn’t fought in 20 mėnesių. I hadn’t stepped in the ring and that’s what I enjoy every minute of.”

Even though he’s on the precipice of winning his first world title, as a bridgerweight fighter, Rivas will not be fully satisfied without becoming a 2-division world champion.

“I want to be the bridgerweight and heavyweight World champion without a doubt,” he explained. “My mission is timeless. For some reason, the big boys in the heavyweight division don’t want to fight me. There would have been good reasons for Dillian Whyte to give me a rematch, to clear any doubts! I love Tysonas Fury but when he was looking for a dance partner last December, my name was dropped first even though we had the same promoter. I can only assume that they consider I am too dangerous for them. By becoming the WBC bridgerweight World champion, I assume that those big boys will be more intrigued to fight me, ir aš negaliu laukti,. Dabar, more than ever.

“I am a heavyweight and I always tried to stay under 235 pounds throughout my career to exploit my speed, so the bridgerweight class became a natural fit for me. Dabar, I am aiming to become champion of the world in two divisions. Bring them all on!"

Rivas’ most likely will know who his opponent will be for the WBC bridgerweight title fight in June in the coming days. The names often mentioned are No. 3 neįvertintas Bryantas Jennings(24-4, 14 Kos), 2-time world heavyweight title challenger, or built-up South African cruiserweight, Ar ne. 2 reitinguojami Kevin Larena (26-1, 13 Kos).

“My team has been working very hard during this unbelievable time (pandemija) to organize a significant fight for me.” Rivas noted. “I just can’t wait to step back into the ring with anybody.”

Rivas still has unfinished business with Whyte, who is the only pro to defeat Rivas, albeit under questionable circumstances. Praėjusį rugpjūtį, Whyte won a 12-round unanimous decision, after been knockdown with an uppercut in the 9oji turas, in their vacant WBC Interim heavyweight title fight, but prior to their fight, unbeknownst to Team Rivas, Whyte had apparently tested positive for a banned substance during training camp. A UK Anti-Doping investigation somehow later cleared Whyte of any wrongdoings.

Praėjusį rugpjūtį, Whyte was knocked out in the fifth round by Aleksandras Archyvas: in their WBC Interim title fight and Povetkin will defend his title this weekend in Gibraltar versus Whyte.

Oscar Rivas can’t wait to let his fists go “Kaboom” on his next opponent, whomever and whenever that is, as he continues his special mission.

Finikso „Benavidez“ (24-0, 21 Kos) mirgėjo puikus rankos greitis, tikslumas ir galia, kai jis dominavo Elisyje (18-2-2, 12 Kos) nuo Lynn, Mišios., per 11 raundų, kol teisėjas Johnny Callas pagaliau pamojo kovą 2:03 priešpaskutinio turo. 24 metų žvaigždė užėmė reikšmingą vietą visų trijų rezultatų kortelių etape (99-91, 98-92 x2) sustabdymo metu.

„Aš vertinu savo pasirodymą gana gerai, bet žinau, kad galėjau padaryti geriau,- sakė Benavidezas, kuris išplėtė savo tobulą rekordą 24-0. „Ronaldas Ellisas yra sunkus konkurentas. Tikiuosi, kad gerbėjams patiks tai, ką jie matė. Mečiau daug derinių, štampai kekėmis. Daug kartų maniau, kad Ellis mesti, bet jis to nepadarė. Kepurės nuo jo, jis kietas vyrukas. Tai buvo šiek tiek vėliau, nei norėjau, tačiau sustabdymas vis tiek yra sustabdymas. Tikiuosi, kad gerbėjai šį vakarą sulaukė gero šou “.

Bokso stebuklas tapo jauniausiu pasaulio vidutinio svorio pasaulio čempionu bokso istorijoje, Benavidezas pasirodė meistriškai, ką patvirtina jo smūgio statistika, nusileidimas 289 apie 532 galios smūgiai, išmetami, kad akį traukiantis ryšio greitis būtų 54%.

Po jo dominuojančio laimėjimo SHOWTIME, Benavidezas yra dar vienas žingsnis arčiau pasaulio vidutinio svorio kategorijos susigrąžinimo.

„Aš noriu visų didelių vaikinų,- pridūrė Benavidezas. „Kalbėdamas ir gerbėjams, jie norėtų pamatyti mane prieš visus didelius vaikinus, nes, kaip matote, Man patinka mėtyti smūgius. Man patinka stabdyti žmones, todėl aš, palyginti su bet kokiu dideliu vardu, būtų nuostabi kova. Noriu [Jermall] Charlo, Canelo Alvarez, Kalebas augalų, Visi jie."

Ellis, 31, parodė didžiulį ryžtą ir labai tvirtą smakrą, nes sugėrė nuolatinį buvusio dukart pasaulio čempiono puolimą.. Benavidezas spaudė veiksmą, dažnai dirbdamas virvėmis, Ellis nusileido 89 nuo jo 334 Stumtelėjimus.

„Aš būčiau galėjęs šiek tiek labiau užkirsti kelią ir valdyti daiktus ir neleisti jam manęs užgniaužti,- sakė Ellisas. „Po velnių taip, aš norėjau pabaigti. Nenorėjau jam suteikti tokio pasitenkinimo. Aš galėjau šiek tiek daugiau pajudėti ir nepadaryti tiek šūvių į galvą. Kepurės nuo jo. Jis padarė tai, ką turėjo padaryti. Jis niekada skauda man, tai juokingas dalykas. I took a lot of shots but he didn’t damage me or have me super hurt. I never thought about quitting.”

The sports world lost an icon today as the death of Marvelous Marvin Hagler was reported hours before the live telecast began. A member of the International Boxing Hall of Fame, Hagler, kuris buvo 66 metai, fought in the first main event ever on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on March 10, 1986. Hagler was honored with a ceremonial 10-count prior to tonight’s main event. Click Here to Watch SHOWTIME’s Tribute to Marvin Hagler

Benavidez reflected on Hagler’s passing after the fight: “I had met Marvin once before and he was a great champion. Someone told me he fought the first fight on SHOWTIME. Someone on my team let me know a few hours before the fight that he had passed. Liūdna ir jis bus praleistas. Jis buvo tikra legenda “.

Be bendro pagrindinis renginio, Isaacas Cruzas (21-1-1, 15 Kos) Meksiko pelnė vieningą sprendimo pergalę prieš Argentinos Matiasas Romero (24-1, 8 Kos) 12 turų WBA lengvo svorio kategorijos eliminatoriuje. Tai buvo pirmas kartas, kai 22-ejų Cruzas nuėjo 12 profesionalo karjeros etapų. Skaityta teisėjų rezultatų kortelė 114-113, 115-112 ir 118-109. Neoficialus „SHOWTIME“ žaidėjas Steve'as Farhoodas įmušė kovą 115-112, duodamas raundus 10 per 12 kylančiai žvaigždei.

„Aš nesu patenkintas kovos stiliumi, tačiau esu patenkintas, kad parsivežiau pergalę namo ir mes priėjome„ Ne “. 1 vieta WBA,Sakė Cruz. „Aš nežinojau, kas nutiks [kiek teisėjai]. Mes visą laiką privertėme kovą, o teisėjams būtų buvę labai neįmanoma ką nors padaryti man, kai aš buvau stumiantis kovą “.

Visą 36 minučių romaną, Cruzas nuolat darė spaudimą priešininkui, kuris privertė Romero, labiau patyręs profesionalas, pernelyg laikytis bandant sustabdyti spaudimą. Nepaisant to, kad teisėjas Harvey'as Dockas dažnai įspėjo, 24-erių Romero niekada nebuvo nubaustas. Per šiurkštų varžybas, tačiau, Cruzas už mažą smūgį buvo užmuštas tašku šeštame raunde.

„Jis buvo kovotojas, nenorėjęs keistis smūgiais,- pridūrė Cruzas, remdamasis atkakliu klinikavimu. „Man buvo labai atsibodę klinikos - jam niekada nebuvo įspėjimo. Aš padariau viską iš ten. Not the best way I wanted to do it but thank God we won the fight and we’re taking the victory home.”

Romero presented an effective jab throughout the fight, nusileidimas 89 apie 282, but it was Cruz’s power punching that ultimately earned him the victory. Kryžius, who is now the No. 1 contender for a world title shot at 135 svarų, nusileido 145 apie 459 Baterijos štampus, įskirtinai 91 Kūno kadrai.

“Obviously I’m not happy with the decision,” stated Romero following his first professional loss. “I thought maybe it was a draw. Overall I’m happy with my performance. He’s supposed to the be the ‘Pit Bull’ and I went the distance. You have to take the opportunities when they are presented and I wish I would have had more time to get ready for this fight.”

In the evening’s opening bout, Cleveland’s Terrell Gausha (22-2-1, 11 Kos) scored an impressive second-round technical knockout over fellow Ohioan Jamontay Clark (15-2-1, 7 Kos) Cincinnati. Gausha, 33, did not land a single power punch in the opening round but worked well behind the jab, winning the round on two of the judges’ scorecards. As the second round neared completion, Gausha beautifully countered a lunging left hand from the southpaw Clark which sent the 26-year-old to the canvas for the first time in his professional career. Clark beat the count but moments later was met by a barrage of unanswered punches in the neutral corner. Referee Arthur Mercante jumped in and called a halt to the bout at 2:44 antrojo turo.

“I knew Jamontay was a tough kid, I’ve been watching him since Cleveland so I knew about him already,” said Gausha. „Jaučiausi turėjęs galimybę jį išmušti, bet nežinojau, kaip klostysis kova. Bet aš jaučiuosi gerai, įvykdė žaidimo planą. Mano treneriai mokėsi kino ir mes įvykdėme egzekuciją.

„Aš tiesiog neskubėjau,“- pridūrė Gausha. „Aš statydavau spąstus. Žinojau, kad jis galų gale bus atviras, bet ir aš turėjau būti atsargus, nes jis - vaikinas, turi gerą kairę ranką. Bet aš žinojau, kad jo žaidime yra skylių, mes įvykdėme ir kai pasitaikė proga, mes nusileidome ta didele dešine ranka “.

Su savo pabrėžtinu sustabdymo laimėjimu, the 2012 „Olympian“ iškyla kaip pretendentas į supervidutinio svorio kategorijos šaudymo titulą. Pirmuoju ir vieninteliu pasaulio titulu nušovė 2017, Gausha dropped a unanimous decision to current super welterweight world champion Erislandy Lara.

“I know I made a statement tonight,“- pridūrė Gausha. “I put the division on notice. I’m locked and loaded and I’m ready. I want to be a world champion so I’m looking to fight whoever I need to fight to get to the belts.”

Unhappy birthday coming up for undefeated lightweight prospect Jamaine “The Technician” Ortiz

WORCESTER, Mišios. (Balandis 15, 2020) – Even in his wildest dreams, undefeated World Boxing Council (WBC) Youth World lightweight championJamaine “The Technician” Ortiz (13-0, 7 Kos) never could have ever imagined that his 24oji gimimo diena, later this month, would fall smack in the middle of a worldwide health pandemic

When he turns 24 balandžio 28oji, Ortiz figured he’d be preparing for training camp with a spring fight date set, likely defending his WBC Youth World title of fighting for a regional belt of some sort.

He certainly didn’t think boxing would be banned around the world, gyms closed by a state mandate, and people wearing facemasks and plastic gloves like they’re in a Sci-Fi movie. Ir, to boot, his job as a licensed carpenter ended closed shop last Friday. Like everybody else in the Bay State.

Ortiz is basically self-quarantined at home, although he’s still running, mokymas, eating well and doing everything else to maintain decent shape. Not elite boxing shape, nors, which simply isn’t possible under these restrictive and trying times.

Instead of sparring, he’s shadow boxing, jumping rope has replaced pad-work with his trainersRocky Gonzalez irCarlos Garcia, and now his living room serves as hissporto salė.

Times have been dramatically altered, išties, even celebrating birthdays, which Jamaine fully understands and accepts.

“I don’t think my birthday will be any different,” Ortiz said. “I usually spend it alone with my mother and daughter (4-year-old Amira) and this year probably won’t be any different. I won’t be able to get in a whole bunch of sparring rounds that I usually ask for (juokiasi) as presents from some of my friends.“

Laimei, nors, Ortiz was able to fight this past February 28 in his first action in six months, headlining a CES Boxing-promoted card at home in Worcester, Masačusetsas, in which he registered an impressive second-round stoppage of Mexican knockout specialist“Loco” Luis Ronaldo Castillo (22-6, 17 Kos), a former WBC FECOMBOX lightweight champion.

Ortiz, presently rated No. 16 by the North American Boxing Federation (NABF), aspires to attend medical school after he hangs up his gloves for good, to become a doctor/researcher. He reads a lot about medicine, especially holistic treatments, and he believes that he may have already had the coronavirus.

“Five weeks before my last fight,” he explained, “I was in the hospital with a temperature of 104.5. Just about everybody I knew was sick, my grandmother had pneumonia. I never really get sick. I had a flu shot for seven years without an issue. I developed a cough, too. I felt like I was going to die. I can’t say with certainty I had coronavirus (there was no test available then), but I feel like I may have had it.”

Ortiz will be ready for the night the ring bell will finally sound again. “I hope to be fighting again in July or August, bet, no matter when boxing returns, I’ll be ready to go.

“This is a serious, contagious disease. People should use common sense: wash your hands, stay separated by six feet, and stay at home, especially the elderly and people with respiratory problems. Don’t take any unnecessary risks or panic, either. This isn’t the end of the world!"
