LAS VEGAS (Sete. 8, 2017) – At 20 anos, 9 months old, David Benavidez became boxing’s youngest world champion – and the youngest ever in the super middleweight division – with a split decision victory over Ronald Gavril na sexta-feira night on an exciting night of 168-pound action on Showtime Boxing: EDIÇÃO ESPECIAL de The Joint no Hard Rock Hotel & Cassino. See the video of the decision via Twitter link AQUI.

 

Benavidez (19-0, 17 KOs) placed the previously vacated WBC Super Middleweight belt around his waist after winning the title against former European amateur standout Gavril (18-2, 14 KOs) in what Benavidez later described as quite possibly the “Fight of the Year.” One scorecard had Gavril winning 116-111, with Benavidez winning on the other two scorecards, 116-111 e 117-111 in the event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

 

“It feels amazing to win this title,” said the Phoenix resident Benavidez. “It’s everything I’ve dreamed about since I was a little kid. It’s everything I’ve dedicated myself to and I’ve worked hard for. It finally paid off.”

 

The 31-year-old Romanian Gavril, who trains at Mayweather’s Gym in Las Vegas by Eddie Mustafa Muhammad, sent Benavidez to the canvas with a left hook with just 50 seconds left in the wild 12th e última rodada.

 

“I feel I won the fight. I dominated the pace. I can’t say anything else other than it was up to the judges,” Gavril said, who was watched by his promoter all-time great Floyd Mayweather from ringside. “The only thing I can do is to ask for a rematch.”

 

Benavidez, who turned pro at age 16 and only had 15 lutas amadoras, took control of the fight early on, but Gavril seemed to gain steam mid-fight, out-boxing and being more active than Benavidez in the seventh, rodadas oitavo e nono. In rounds 11 e 12, Benavidez out-landed Gavril 66-35 overall and 53-14 with power punches.

 

“I felt my performance was good except for the last round when I got too anxious and wanted to knock him out,” Benavidez said. “I let my young side takeover and I wanted to give the fans a great fight. I didn’t really feel hurt but it was a shock knockdown. I know to be careful and more cautious. It was a learning experience.”

 

 

 

In another super middleweight contest, Abie Han suffered a devastating accidental head-butt againstJ'Leon Amor em 1:02 into the eighth round and the fight went to the scorecards. One judge had Las Vegas’ Love winning 79-73, and the other two 76-76 making the decision a technical majority draw.

 

Following an exchange of punches, Amar (23-1-1, 13 KOs) leaned in and the two fighter banged heads in violent fashion. Ter (26-3-1, 16 KOs) de El Paso, Texas, was left stunned and fell to the floor as blood gushed from his forehead above his left eye and he was immediately checked on by referee Kenny Bayless.

 

Ter, who left the arena sitting up on a stretcher before hearing the decision, won the statistical battle in the ring. Han landed more blows (78-47 No geral, 20-12 jabs, 58-35 poder) and did so more accurately (24 percent to 17 percent overall, 16 percent to eight percent jabs and 30 percent to 27 percent power).

 

SHOWTIME boxing analyst Al Bernstein had Han winning by one point at the time of the stoppage.

 

“I can’t rate my performance as great because I didn’t get a victory, I got a draw,” said Love, who once trained at the famed Kronk Gym in Detroit under Hall of Fame trainer Emanuel Steward.

 

The 29-year-old Love ended nearly a one-year layoff with his return to the ring. “I’m kind of rusty but I feel like I pressed the action and tried to take it to him,"Ele disse. “Other than that I feel like I landed the cleaner shots.”

 

Na luta de a cerimônia de abertura, unbeaten super middleweight prospect Caleb Planta (16-0, 10 KOs) recorded a 10-round shutout decision against a tough Andrew Hernandez (19-7-1, 9 KOs), 100-90 três vezes.

 

Planta, who resides in Las Vegas by way of Ashland City, Tenn., was the more active fighter against the 31-year-old switch-hitting journeyman Hernandez, who took the fight on just eight days’ notice after Alan Campa dropped out. Plant jabbed effectively (81 de 271, 30 por cento) while neutralizing Hernandez’s usually effective jab (46 de 325, 14 por cento). Plant was also sharp with his power shots landing 44 percent to Hernandez’s 19 por cento.

 

“I’m very pleased with my performance,” Plant said. “I boxed well and I dictated the pace. I pressed when I needed to press and boxed when I needed to box. I felt I put on a great show for the fans. I want to be star in boxing. I know with hard work I can accomplish anything.

 

“Hernandez is tough, I sent him with everything and he stood tall and my hats off to him. He’s a tough competitor.”

 

Hernandez, de Phoenix, Ariz., suffered a cut under his left eye in the third and it caused him problems throughout the fight, opening up and bleeding over the final two rounds.

 

“All respect to Caleb Plant on his performance tonight,” Hernandez said. “He put on a solid fight and he’s got a great future. I was happy I was able to stay in there and last the entire 10 rounds.

 

“I felt Caleb won, but I don’t think it was 10 rounds to none. But that’s not for me to decide. It’s all up to the judges at the end of the day it only matters what they think.”

 

Plant added: “I’m ready to step up in competition and fight anybody in the top 10 of the super middleweight division. I got my eye on Benavidez and all the other world champions. I’m coming!"

 

Sexta-feira tripleheader will replay on Sunday, Sete. 10, em 9 a.m. E/PT, e Segunda-feira, Sete. 11, em 10 p.m. E/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME on DEMAND® e Showtime ANYTIME®.

 

Barry Tompkins called the action from ringside with Bernstein and former world champion Raul Marquez serving as expert analysts. O produtor executivo foi Gordon Hall, com Richard Gaughan produzindo e Rick Phillips dirigindo.

The following is a training camp update from each of the fighters on desta sexta-feira tripleheader.

 

David “El Bandera Roja” Benavidez

  • He trains out of The Summit Gym in Big Bear, Califa.
  • His trainer is his father, Jose Benavidez Sr.
  • Com uma vitória, Benavidez (idade 20) would become the youngest Super Middleweight to ever win a world title and the youngest current world champion.
  • He’s very familiar with the gym because his brother Jose Benavidez Jr. (former WBA interim super lightweight champion) used to train there when he was active.

 

Benavidez on training camp:

“My training camps are always fairly long. I only take a week off after every fight and go back into training. For the first couple weeks, it’s just moving around, then we slowly work into the hard training. For this one, I probably had like a month and a half, two months.”

 

Sobre o seu adversário:

“I feel like he [Ronald Gavril] has a really good style for me to showcase my skills, like how I did against Rogelio Medina. With our sparring partners, we have brawlers and we have boxers, também. Whatever style he fights on that night, I’m going to be prepared for it.”

 

Ronald “The Thrill” Gavril

  • He trains at the Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas.
  • He is a former European amateur standout.
  • His trainer is Eddie Mustafa Muhammad (65 anos; former WBA light heavyweight world champion, retired in 1988 com um recorde de 50-8-1, 39 KOs).

Gavril on training camp:

“I feel really sharp and I’m really happy with how everything has gone during training. This is the opportunity that I’ve worked so hard to get to and I’m definitely not letting it slip by. I know that everything needs to be 100 percent on fight night so I’m pushing myself to be ready to do whatever it takes to leave with the belt.”

 

Sobre o seu adversário:

“Benavidez is a strong guy who’s coming in with a lot of support behind him, but I’m not going to let any of that distract me from my preparation. Me and my trainer are going to have a great game plan for him. I know he wants to be active and smother me and we’re going to show him all of the parts of my game.”

Eddie Mustafa Muhammad:

“I got Ronald sparring with the IBF’s number-one super middleweight contender, Jose Uzcategui. He’s giving us good work, too—he can fight. We also sparred Badou Jack for a couple rounds. We’ve got an abundance of guys that we’re working with.

 

“The way they’re talking about Benavidez, it’s like he’s King Kong. But it’s good—perfect! Ronald is a boxer-puncher, he can adapt. That’s the whole key. He has a wealth of amateur experience. This is our opportunity. We’ve talked about this for a while now, and Ronald is at a point where he’s ready right now…It’s going to be a great fight.”

 

J'Leon Amor

  • He trains at the Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas.
  • His trainer is Theo Chambers.
  • He’s been in training camp for about five months

 

Love on training camp:

“My training camp—it’s been months! I started training in April. Being that we had fights fall out, I always stayed in the gym. That’s the hardest part, because I feel like I’ve had bad luck with fights falling out. But one thing I can say—we train our ass off! I just want to go on vacation after this.”

 

“We’ve had a lot of good sparring—Lionell Thompson and Denis Douglin have been in here working. We’ve had so many sparring partners throughout this camp, and we’ve just been working, working, working.

 

Sobre o seu adversário:

“I remember Abie Han from the amateurs. He’s always been a tough fighter. You can’t look past anybody. Everybody comes in that ring to fight. Everybody comes in with a different mode or a different drive, so this may be the drive he has to really come out and explode on the scene and beat me. Assim, I’m taking him absolutely, positively serious, like he’s a world championship fighter and we’re fighting for the world title.”

 

Abraham “The Sun City Warrior” Han

  • Trains out of his father’s martial arts studio in El Paso, Texas (Han’s Martial Arts).
  • He is trained by Louie Burke — 56 anos; former pro junior lightweight, retired in 1985 com um recorde de 19-3, 12 KOs; won the “ESPN Junior Lightweight Title” on Apr. 14, 1983, with a 12-round unanimous decision against Freddie Roach; also won a 10-round decision against Roach in the rematch on Nov. 10, 1983.
  • He has sparred with former world champion Austin Trout.

 

Han on training camp:

“I train at my dad’s martial arts studio in El Paso – Han’s Martial Arts. I’m sparring mostly with local people from El Paso, and I also sparred with Austin Trout.

 

“I’ve been working hard and working with Austin (Truta) and that makes a big difference. Austin makes me so much better. He’s been a world champion and he will be a world champion again. His expertise and his knowledge is amazing. He’s been in those situations and he tells me little things along the way and I think that will make all the difference in this fight.”

 

Caleb “Sweet Hands” Plant

  • Moved to Las Vegas from Nashville about a year ago to train
  • He is trained by Justin Gamber and his father Richie Plant.

 

Plant on training camp:

“I’ve been living in Las Vegas for more than a year now – since August 24th, 2016. I’ve been in the gym consistently this whole time since my last fight, but my ‘official’ training camp will be seven or eight weeks. We bounce around to a couple of different gyms for sparring. I’ve had good work this camp – great sparring, good strength and conditioning, good gym work, and I’ve had good rest. I have a good diet.

 

“I know every boxer says, ‘Oh, this is my best camp,’ and a lot of times they don’t mean it. But this has literally been my best camp. Things are very smooth.”

 

Andrew Hernandez

  • He is managed by his wife Jacquie Hernandez and trained by Alan Beirs.
  • Alfred Quintana serves as his cut man and strength and conditioning coach.
  • A late replacement, Hernandez got the call on Aug. 29 and accepted the fight; contract signed the next day.
  • Trains at Gents Gym in Arrowhead, Ariz.

 

What Hernandez has to say:

“I’ve known my trainer, Alan Beirs, por um tempo. He actually helped me with my last couple of fights – we’ve only been together maybe six months or so. He worked my corner in February, but we weren’t working completely together. Then when I got back in the gym in March, that’s when we really started working together.

 

“I train at a place called Gents Gym in Arrowhead, Ariz. I trained there with the Busted Knuckles Boxing crew – that’s Alan Beirs’ crew. We’re all pushing each other to get better and I know they’ll have me ready for fight night.”

Benavidez (18-0, 17 KOs) has a chance to make history – at just 20-years-old he is aiming to become the youngest super middleweight champion in history and the youngest reigning world champion in the sport today. Gavril (18-1, 14 KOs) will seek to keep the WBC 168-pound title in the Mayweather Promotions family after it was vacated by his stablemate, Badou Jack.
“This opportunity means the world to me,” disse Benavidez. “I’ve been working for his since I was a little kid. It’s all come down to this moment when I’m ready to take this belt and take over the 168-pound division. The time is almost here, and I can hardly wait for Setembro 8. Winning the championship would be enough on its own. But the opportunity to be the youngest in the sport is a major accomplishment and the biggest of my life, so far. I have a tough competitor in front of me, and I know he’s treating it as seriously as I am. I’ve been working for two and a half months for this fight and I’m not overlooking him.”
“It’s been a great journey for me getting to this point of fighting for a world title,” said Gavril. “I have a great team behind me who pushes me every single day to perform my best, learn from my mistakes and perfect my technique. Those values have gotten me here and I am thankful for such an amazing opportunity. I will go out there and give it everything I have, I can’t leave the ring without the championship belt.”

“Em Novembro 2015, I said that I had new blood for our industry David Benavidez, who would be the best and youngest super middleweight champion in the history of our sport,” Sampson disse Lewkowicz, Benavidez’ promotor. “We didn’t cherry pick this opponent. He was the next available contender when Anthony Dirrell pulled out. We expect fireworks. We expect to birth a new superstar. The most important thing is to determine in which round Gavril will be knocked out, because I believe that we’re talking about matching a jet plane against a helicopter. So I expect a spectacular performance from Benavidez, who will begin his run as the new blood in boxing and will keep it going until he retires.”
“To be in a position to announce another great card coming just weeks after the biggest event in sports history shows that Mayweather Promotions shows no signs of slowing down,” disse Leonard Ellerbe, CEO de Promoções Mayweather. “We are thrilled to present this fight card on Setembro 9, filled with tremendous talent featuring top contenders in the Mayweather Promotions stable. Gavril has proven to be a tough competitor, he’s on a long win streak with his last four coming by way of TKO, Love making his return to the stage is sure to excite fans, and the always exciting Caleb Plant will definitely put on show. This is what boxing is about, bringing together some of the most exciting talents on one stage.”

He’s more of a boxer, but he does have a brawling ability. He was a great amateur as well. He had a lot of fights, but we’re training hard. I’m working with a lot of different types of styles, boxers and brawlers, so whatever he brings on the 8th Eu vou estar pronto.”

That would be a really great accomplishment for me. I’ve been training for this my entire life.”

With four weeks already banked and five to go at Big Bear training camp, Benavidez says he’ll be in the shape of his life on Setembro 8. “This will be my best performance ever. As long as they put top-notch guys in front me, they will always bring the best out of me.”

Apenas em sua primeira luta de oito rounds, Claressa “T-Rex” Shields obteve uma vitória espetacular por decisão unânime na última sexta-feira, Junho 16, no Templo Maçônico em Detroit para ganhar o título WBC Silver Super Middleweight.

Shields (3-0, 1KO) dominou Sydney difícil “Ginger, o Ninja” LeBlanc (4-2-1), vencendo todas as oito rodadas em todos os três juízes’ scorecards a caminho de adicionar o cinturão de prata do WBC ao cinturão do NABF Middleweight Championship. LeBlanc simplesmente não era páreo para os punhos em chamas do favorito da multidão, Shields, que se estabeleceu de forma convincente como uma candidata ao campeonato mundial de boxe feminino depois de apenas três lutas profissionais.
Shields’ luta foi o evento principal de um evento apinhado de Detroit Brawl, que estabeleceu um novo recorde de portão para a popular série de Detroit do promotor Dmitriy Salita.

“Claressa é uma das melhores boxeadoras do mundo!” disse Dmitriy Salita. “Independente de gênero, suas habilidades e experiência são as dos lutadores de elite do mundo. Ela está melhorando a cada luta e o céu é o limite. Claressa está pronta para os lutadores top de sua categoria e vamos trabalhar para que a próxima luta do campeonato aconteça”

No evento co-principal de 10 rodadas, peso cruzado transplantado de Detroit, Alexey Zubov mudou-se para 15-1, 9 KOs com uma decisão surpreendentemente fácil de 10 rodadas sobre o conceituado Demetrius Banks de Detroit (9-1, 4 KOs).
Desde o sino de abertura, a taxa de trabalho superior de Zubov contou a história, já que o confuso Banks não tinha respostas para o grande golpe do russo. Todos os três juízes marcou a luta 99-91. Não houve knockdowns.
“Duas das melhores perspectivas cruiserweight do mundo se encontraram em Detroit,” continuação da palavra. “O vencedor agora é um verdadeiro competidor, pronto para lutar contra os melhores do mundo. Alexey melhorou muito desde o tempo em que treinou com Sugar Hill no Kronk Boxing Gym. A magia de Kronk está viva e ganhou vida na atuação de Alexey. Grandes coisas no horizonte para ele!”
Outro estábulo crescente de candidatos promissores de Salita, Peso galo de Detroit Ja’Rico O’Quinn (7-0, 5KOs) tinha muitas ferramentas para o desarmado David Martino (2-3, 2 KOs) e venceu por decisão unânime e dominante (60-54, todos os três juízes). Um talento para assistir, O’Quinn basicamente conduziu o determinado Martino a seus tiros rápidos por seis rodadas.
“A defesa de Ja'Rico foi excelente em sua luta. Seu oponente raramente era capaz de tocá-lo. Ele vai ser uma força na 118 lbs. em um futuro não muito distante.”
Outro concorrente emergente do estábulo de Salita, bola de demolição do meio-médio júnior Bakhtiyar Eyubov (13-0, 11 KOs) precisou de apenas 1:41 da primeira rodada para mastigar e cuspir Cesar Soriano do México. Eyubov mirou no corpo de Soriano e tirou-lhe o fôlego com um baque surdo de capuzes de esquerda no fígado que acabou rapidamente. Eyubov é um animal.
“Bakhtiyar subiu na categoria de peso porque ninguém vai lutar com ele. Essa luta mostrou o porquê,” Disse Palavra. “Ele é muito forte para a maioria dos lutadores permanecerem por muito tempo. Ele estará em uma grande briga em um futuro próximo. Ele está pronto.”
Em outros resultados, Antonio Urista de Michigan (8-2, 2 KOs), tirou uma surpresa surpreendente com uma decisão unânime de seis rodadas (59-53 e 58-54 e 58-54) sobre o Turcomenistão Serdar Hudayberdiyev (3-1, 2 KOs). Urista largou Hudayberdiyev com uma mão direita em loop e nunca se recuperou totalmente. Ambos os lutadores sofreram cortes neste caso difícil.
Para abrir o show, Michigan meio-pesado Darren Gibbs (1-2, Eu nocauteei) obteve sua primeira vitória profissional com um TKO1 de 30 segundos sobre o estreante Scott McCurdy; Jacob Bonas (3-0-1, 2 KOs) marcou um TKO3 sobre Tony Brooks (1-2) e Dimash Niyazov (10-0-3, 5 KOs) permaneceu invicto com um nocaute técnico no quinto round sobre Ramon Guevara surpreendentemente determinado (10-24-2, 6 KOs).
“Thank you to everyone involved in this terrific show,” disse Dmitriy Salita. “The fans of Michigan asked for world-class boxing and they’ve responded by filling the Masonic Temple. And thank you to all my great sponsors for all their help and congratulations to all the fighters for their brave performances. It is onward and upward for Claressa Shields, who will be back later this summer against a world-class fighter. Clearly, she is ready for anyone in the world.”

Darrin Van Horn, que era 22 anos, 8 months and 11 days old when he beat Lindell Holmes for the IBF super middleweight championship on May 18, 1991.
Entrementes, highlights of Benavidez’s sensational victory over Medina continue to rack up views on YouTube. (Clique AQUI). At last count, the victory had garnered nearly 350,000 visualizações. On the Premier Boxing Champions Facebook page, a similar video has 1.1 million viewers and on other pages, sobre 3.8 milhão.

“David is a talent at everything he does,” said his promoter, Sampson Lewkowicz. “Thank you to the PBC and Fox Sports for allowing him to reach a dream and work as a commentator while he awaits his ultimate dream: to become the youngest champion in history at 168 lb.”

Sydney LeBlanc Steps in to Face Two-Time Gold Medalist Claressa Shields for WBC Silver Super Middleweight Championship at Detroit Brawl, Looking for an Upset this Friday

33-year-old LeBlanc (4-1-1) from Gretna, Louisiana, represents a step up in competition from original opponent Mery Rancier, who was unable to participate due to visa issues. A six-year pro who was already in training for a fight on June 10, LeBlanc says she’s eager for the chance to upset the two-time Olympian and budding women’s superstar Shields.
“I’ve been pro boxing for nine years, since before the Olympics had a women’s division and I’ve taken a lot of time off because of a lack of available opponents,” explained LeBlanc. “These Olympians are reopening the gates for all female fighters. Everybody was on the shelf for years. This is the first time female boxing has been popular since the Ann Wolfe days, so I’m very appreciative of the opportunities they are bringing. I’ve never watched any of my opponents before a fight, but I know about Claressa Shields and I want to fight her. I’m looking at this fight as a good chance to see where I’m at, skill-wise and I’ll be ready.”
Shields vs. LeBlanc will be contested for the WBC Silver Super Middleweight Championship.
