“This main event on December 12 will pit two of the 130-pound division’s most exciting rising talents against each other as the sublimely skilled Chris Colbert faces the powerful Jaime Arboleda in a can’t-miss showdown,“湯姆·布朗說, TGB促銷總統. “The co-main event will see two middleweight contenders in Matt Korobov and Ronald Ellis looking to show that they’re among the division’s elite, 而在 SHOWTIME 揭幕戰中，理查森·希欽斯（Richardson Hitchins）將與總是強硬的阿吉尼斯·門德斯（Argenis Mendez）展開激烈的較量. 這是三場勢均力敵的比賽，應該會在戰鬥之夜帶來不間斷的戲劇性。”
代表他的家鄉布魯克林, 紐約州, 科爾伯特 (14-0, 5 科斯) 迅速攀升至 130 磅的排名, 第一次參加高水平比賽 14 親打架. 這位 24 歲的球員擊敗了當時不敗的拳手奧斯汀杜萊, 泰特斯·威廉姆斯和安東尼奧·杜博斯, 在他作為職業球員的前八場比賽中. 在 2019, 科爾伯特又增加了四場胜利, 包括老將米格爾·貝爾特蘭 (Miguel Beltran Jr) 的爆炸性首輪淘汰賽. 最近, 科爾伯特在 1 月份以一致決定的方式放棄了前超輕量級冠軍傑斯里爾科拉萊斯，從而贏得了他的臨時冠軍 2020 衝突.
“I’m super excited to be making my big stage debut in the main event,”科爾伯特說. “It’s been a long camp, but training is going great. I’m looking to put on a dominant performance, and I’m looking for the knockout if it’s there. If I can get it, that would be splendid. I know Jaime is going to come to fight. He wants the belt as bad as I want to keep the belt. It’s all going to come down to stamina, ring IQ and who has the greater will to win. I feel like I’m the guy for the job. There’s no way in hell I’m giving up my belt in my first defense.”
The 26-year-old Arboleda (16-1, 13 科斯) has amassed an impressive six-fight winning streak heading into the matchup against Colbert, with five of those victories coming inside of the distance. Born in Curundu, 巴拿馬, and now fighting out Miami, 佛羅里達州. Arboleda has fought professionally since 2014 and scored knockouts over two then-undefeated opponents in 2019, Victor Betancourt and Jose Saant. 在他的最後一戰, Arboleda, who is ranked fourth in the 130-pound division by the WBA, bested former world title contender Jayson Velez by unanimous decision to win his first 12-round fight this February on SHOWTIME.
“Every boxer’s dream is to fight for a title and be victorious without leaving any doubt,” said Arboleda. “That is my plan for December 12. I’m having the best preparation of my entire career. 我感覺好極了, strong and fast like never before. I’m sure it will be a very exciting fight from the very first round.”
科羅博夫 (28-3-1, 14 科斯) returns to action after losing his December 2019 clash against Chris Eubank Jr. when he suffered a shoulder injury that forced the fight to end in the second round. Korobov, who notched 300 wins as a decorated amateur, came into that fight off of a majority draw against Immanuwel Aleem, after serving notice to the middleweight division that he would be a threat when he lost a hard-fought decision to undefeated middleweight champion Jermall Charlo in December. 出生於Orotukan, 俄羅斯, and now living in St. 聖彼得堡, 佛羅里達州, 科羅博夫是後期更換，給了查洛比許多專家預期更強硬的鬥爭. 科羅博夫有夏洛茨維爾戰鬥之前已經騎了四打連勝, following his first professional defeat against Andy Lee in a 2014 middleweight title fight.
“I am excited to be back in a PBC event on SHOWTIME December 12,” said Korobov. “I have a difficult opponent, but I expect to win and prove that I am back and even better prepared. I must win against Ellis in order to get Jermall Charlo back in the ring. 當然, 我相信我打敗了夏洛, 但那是過去. 埃利斯在我的未來, 我要來證明我仍然是世界上最好的中量級選手之一。”
31歲的埃利斯 (17-1-2, 11 科斯) 將在他上次郊遊的基礎上再接再厲, 這讓他在 12 月的多數決定中擊敗了同為競爭者的 Immanuwel Aleem 2019. 對於埃利斯, 那場戰鬥讓他在職業生涯第一次失利後重回勝利列, 3 月對 DeAndre Ware 的多數決定 2019. 林恩, Mass.-native 是次中量級 Rashidi Ellis 的哥哥, 並擁有令人印象深刻的業餘職業生涯，包括 2010 全國金手套冠軍以戰勝特雷爾·高沙而告終.
“是時候讓我在12月12日露面了，” 埃利斯說. “科羅博夫有機會對抗頂級中量級選手, 現在是我利用這個機會並利用戰勝他達到那個水平的時候了. 我們正在聖地亞哥與卡內洛·阿爾瓦雷斯（Canelo Alvarez）一起努力訓練，以便一切都完美無缺，我在戰鬥之夜處於最佳狀態。”
布魯克林本地人, Hitchins (11-0, 5 科斯) 轉為職業球員在 2017 在代表海地參加 2016 奧運會. 這位 23 歲的球員展現了令人印象深刻的技能，因為他在職業隊伍中積累了不敗紀錄, 這是廣泛的業餘職業的產物. 希欽斯取得四場胜利 2019, 在出道之前 2020 與尼古拉斯·德隆巴（Nicholas DeLomba）的決定性勝利. 在他作為職業球員的前兩場 10 輪比賽中, 左撇子取得了決定性的一致決定.
“我不放過任何對手, 但我相信我比門德斯有更好更敏銳的技能,“Hitchins說. “我擁有成為世界冠軍的所有無形資產. 這經常被誤認為是自大, 但這真的只是我比任何人都更相信自己. 我會認真對待這場比賽，就像我做任何其他比賽一樣，並繼續做我所做的，以便更接近冠軍頭銜. 與弗洛伊德·梅威瑟和格文塔·戴維斯在營地, 我學到了很多. 我覺得我必須參加比賽. 他們真的促使我成為一名更好的戰士。”
前超輕量級冠軍, 門德斯 (25-5-3, 12 科斯) 以向這項運動中的佼佼者提供嚴峻挑戰而聞名，並且已被證明是 140 磅的持久競爭者. 在 2019, 門德斯與超輕量級競爭者背靠背戰平, first against Anthony Peterson in March and then against the unbeaten Juan Heraldez in May. Born in San Juan de La Maguana, 多明尼加共和國, Mendez now fights out of Yonkers, 紐約州. and owns victories over Eddie Ramirez, Ivan Redkach and former titlist Miguel Vazquez. He has also gone toe-to-toe with former champions Rances Barthelemy and Robert Easter Jr.
“I’m facing a young prospect who’s hungry for success, but I’m hungrier today than I’ve ever been in my career and I have the experience to go along with it,” said Mendez. “I’m also extremely motivated for this fight, which isn’t good news for Hitchins. When fight time comes on December 12, you’ll witness an intelligent but more aggressive Argenis Mendez.”
