Published: February 04, 2023

GLENDALE, Ariz. — Emanuel “El Vaquero” Navarrete visited the canvas tonight, but he got back up to become a three-division world champion. Navarrete (37-1, 31 KOs) captured the vacant WBO junior lightweight world title with a hard-earned ninth-round technical knockout victory against Liam Wilson (11-2, 7 KOs) Friday night at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona. Navarrete now joins an elite list of Mexican boxers who have captured titles in three weight classes. That list includes the likes of Julio Cesar Chavez Sr., Erik Morales, Marco Antonio Barrera and Juan Manuel Marquez. In the early rounds, Navarrete controlled the fight by pushing the action with his awkward style. But in the fourth round, he was hurt badly by a left hook, which allowed Wilson to land several more shots and eventually drop Navarrete. The Mexican warrior was able to recover, but was hurt once again with a right hook in the sixth. Navarrete kept his cool and eventually began a vicious assault to the body, which weakened Wilson in the eighth round. “El Vaquero” then caught Wilson with a right hand that sent him down hard. Wilson did his best to survive the onslaught, but Navarrete’s relentless punching was too much and forced the ref to call a halt to the fight at 1:57 of the ninth. At the time of the stoppage, all three judges had Navarrete ahead (76-75 and 77-74 2x). “I’m made of a lot of work, strength, lots of heart, and the Mexican spirit that never lets me down,” Navarrete said. “Liam is a warrior. He was able to land a shot that stunned me a lot. Obviously, we tried to take things calmly. Fortunately, we were able to recover our calmness. We went out to recover a bit. We returned to 100%. And we began to engage. “The satisfaction of winning like this is enormous. I think that I needed this test in order to be able to say my career is more complete. Now that I know that I can hit the canvas and get back up and keep fighting, I’m more than happy because I know that I can continue forward.” “Tonight, I came up a bit short, and I’m disappointed,” Wilson said. “But I knocked him down in the fourth round, and I felt that the count was a bit long. We’ll have to review it and see what people think. He’s a true champion, though. I thought I won the fight in that sense because I think it was about a 20-second count. I’ll review it and see what happens there. “I want to come back. I’m a true champion. This is my 12th fight, but no excuses. I love to fight, and I love challenges. I’d fight any other champion any day of the week. He’s a tough champion. With all due respect to him, he’s very awkward. But this is boxing, and stuff happens. All credit to him. I hope he goes on to do great things. I’ll be back. Make no mistake about it.” Barboza Topples Pedraza Arnold Barboza Jr. (28-0, 10 KOs) defended his WBO Intercontinental junior welterweight title with a unanimous decision win over former two-division world champion Jose Pedraza (29-5-1, 14 KOs). Barboza boxed intelligently from the outside, landing quick combos that Pedraza had difficulty avoiding. On his part, Pedraza was able to close the distance on many occasions, but he often did so without throwing a jab, so it made it difficult for him to enter without receiving a lot of punishment. As the rounds progressed, Pedraza did his best to land punches to the body, but Barboza would often smother the Puerto Rican’s offense and use his footwork to evade more shots. The later rounds were tough, but Barboza prevailed by scores of 97-93 and 96-94 2x. “I was making the fight easy for the first five or six rounds, but I wanted to stay in there and start brawling. Pedraza is a tough guy. All training camp we were working against southpaws, but he did a good job of switching to southpaw in the middle of the fight. It’s hard fighting a guy like him with a lot of experience," Barboza said. “I think I’ve paid my dues. I want a title shot. I want Regis Prograis, Alberto Puello, or the winner of the IBF title or the WBO title. If I can’t get them, everyone knows who I want: Teofimo Lopez.” Richard Torrez Jr. Stops James Bryant Richard Torrez Jr. (5-0, 5 KOs) remained undefeated with a first-round TKO over James Bryant (6-3, 4 KOs). Torrez initiated the bout in aggressive fashion, using feints and head movement to close the distance. After a few exchanges, Torrez noticed that Bryan would often crouch forward. The U.S. Olympic silver medalist then responded by unleashing his left uppercut, which eventually dropped Bryant before the round ended. Bryant was able to survive, but his corner advised the referee to stop the fight before the second round could commence. “When you land a punch like that, it almost feels like there’s no glove there. It just feels like a solid shot from your knuckle to his head. And that’s when you know you hurt the guy," Torrez said. “I thought he was in the recovery state because he had a minute left, but if the fight were to continue, I would have applied pressure. I started off the first round a little slower than usual, but I did that on purpose. I wanted to set my distance and my jab and feints. And luckily that uppercut landed and there was more to come.” In undercard action: Junior Lightweights: Andres Cortes (19-0, 10 KOs) outboxed Luis Melendez (17-3, 13 KOs) en route to a 10-round unanimous decision. Both men started the bout cautiously, but Cortes’ superior ring IQ allowed him to dominant more and more as the rounds progressed. Scores: 100-90 3x. Middleweights: Nico Ali Walsh (8-0, 5 KOs) overcame a hometown disadvantage with a dominant six-round unanimous decision win over Phoenix’s Eduardo Ayala (9-3-1, 3 KOs). Walsh scored a knockdown in the second round, but Ayala, who was backed by a packed crowd of his supporters, was undeterred and was able to go the distance. Scores: 60-53 and 59-54 2x. Ali Walsh said, "He was a big guy, and I wanted to show that I could muscle him around on the inside. Ayala was the hometown favorite. That was a new experience for me, but it was a valuable one." Junior Welterweights: Lindolfo Delgado (17-0, 13 KOs), a 2016 Mexican Olympian, retained his undefeated record with a unanimous decision win over Clarence Booth (21-7, 13 KOs) after eight rounds of action. Delgado scored a knockdown in the final round, courtesy of a hard right hand. Scores: 80-71 and 79-72 2x. Lightweights: Emiliano Fernando Vargas (3-0, 2 KOs) went the distance for the first time in his career by scoring a four-round unanimous win over southpaw Francisco Duque (1-2). Scores: 40-36 3x.

Arnold Barboza Jr vs Tony Luis - 8/29/2020

Jr welterweight Arnold Barboza Jr (27-0, 10 KOs) is a decade into his career. And while he has been undefeated, he has yet to take on the best at 140lbs. But with Josh Taylor, Teofimo Lopez, and Jose Carlos Ramirez on the Top Rank roster, you have to imagine those fights are coming.

But first, Barboza has the toughest test of his career to date. He is set to face off with Jose Pedraza (29-4-1, 14 KOs) this Friday (Feb. 3) on the undercard for Navarrete-Wilson on ESPN/ESPN+.

El veterano peleador venezolano, de 40 años, Ismael “El Tigre” Barroso venció de forma categórica al inglés Ohara Davies, a quien liquidó en el primer asalto en Las Vegas para titularse monarca interino superligero [caption id="attachment_99295" align="alignnone" width="1280"] El pegador de Venezuela, literalmente le pasó por encima al europeo y a sus 40 años le dejó todo claro al joven Ohara Davies. Foto Cortesía[/caption] El veterano púgil venezolano Ismael “El Tigre” Barroso conquistó el título interino superligero de la Asociación Mundial de Boxeo (AMB), al noquear de forma sorprendente en el primer round al inglés Ohara Davies, este sábado en el principal combate de respaldo de la cartelera “Vergil Ortiz vs Fredrick Lawson”, que se llevó a cabo en el Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, en Las Vegas, Nevada. Barroso comenzó como un tren, descargó sus poderosas manos apenas sonó la campana y con potentes golpes al rostro, puso en malas condiciones a Davies. Barroso estaba claro que Davies aún no se había recuperado, y le cayó a palos nuevamente, atacándolo con todo, hasta que, con una lluvia de puños, lo mandó otra vez a la lona. Davies intentó ponerse en pie, lo consiguió, pero tenía la vista extraviada, como si estuviera noqueado estando en pie. Esa mirada perdida, obligó al referí Celestino Ruiz a suspender las acciones, porque estaba claro que Davies no estaba recuperado. El tiempo oficial fue de 1:53 minutos del asalto inicial. Con este sorprendente resultado, el veterano peleador venezolano de 40 años de ead, mejoró su palmarés a 25-4-2, con 23 nocauts, mientras que Davies cayó a 25-3, con 18 nocauts. El venezolano arruinó el debut de Davies con Golden Boy Promotions. Pero lo más importante para Barroso, es que podría haber asegurado una merecida revancha con Rolly Romero. Barroso ganó el título interino superligero de la AMB 7 meses y medio después de que Romero lo venciera polémicamente, por nocaut técnico en el noveno asalto, el 13 de mayo en The Cosmopolitan de Las Vegas. En otros resultados, el superligero californiano Arnold Barboza Jr. finalmente puso fin a un descanso de 11 meses, al noquear técnicamente en el octavo round al sudafricano Xolisani Ndongeni. Barboza, técnicamente sólido, conectó numerosos derechazos y golpes en la cabeza de Ndongeni y ganchos de izquierda en su cuerpo en su camino hacia una victoria dominante. La esquina de Ndongeni ordenó al árbitro Raúl Caiz Jr. que detuviera la pelea después de un octavo asalto completamente unilateral. Barboza, de 32 años, de El Monte, California, mejoró su palmarés a 29-0, con 11 nocauts, mientras que Ndongeni cayó a 31-4, 18 nocauts. Barboza boxeó por primera vez el sábado por la noche desde que venció por unanimidad a José Pedraza (29-5-1, 14 nocauts), un bicampeón divisional de Puerto Rico, el pasado 3 de febrero en el Desert Diamond Arena en Glendale, Arizona. Barboza golpeó a Ndongeni durante la mayor parte del octavo asalto, lo que provocó la detención. En otros resultados, el campeón de peso welter de la NABF, Raúl “El Cugar” Curiel (14-0, 12 nocauts) detuvo a Elías Díaz (12-2, 7 nocauts) de National City, California en el octavo asalto. En la primera pelea de la noche, el peso súper welter Emiliano Gándara (1-0, 1 nocauts) de Dallas, Texas, hizo un exitoso debut profesional con un nocaut en el primer asalto sobre Isaac Matamoros (1-2). Gándara derribó a Matamoros y luego lo remató a los 2:11.

Published: February 02, 2023

GLENDALE, Ariz. — The Top Rank on ESPN 2023 schedule continues with a star-studded bill FRIDAY evening at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona. The main event is a battle for the vacant WBO junior lightweight world title, as Emanuel "Vaquero" Navarrete (36-1, 30 KOs) seeks to become a three-weight world champion against Australian upstart Liam Wilson (11-1, 7 KOs). The 10-round junior welterweight co-feature sees former two-weight world champion Jose "Sniper" Pedraza (29-4-1, 14 KOs) attempt to end the unbeaten run of top contender Arnold Barboza Jr. (27-0, 10 KOs). In the ESPN-televised opener, heavyweight U.S. Olympic silver medalist Richard Torrez Jr. (4-0, 4 KOs) battles James Bryant (6-2, 4 KOs) in a six-rounder. Navarrete-Wilson, Barboza-Pedraza, and Torrez-Bryant will be broadcast live on ESPN, ESPN Deportes and ESPN+ at 10 p.m ET/7 p.m. PT. The undercard — streaming live and exclusively on ESPN+ at 6:30 p.m. ET/3:30 p.m. PT — features middleweight prospect Nico Ali Walsh (7-0, 5 KOs) against Phoenix native Eduardo Ayala (9-2-1, 3 KOs) in a six-rounder and lightweight phenom Emiliano Fernando Vargas (2-0, 2 KOs) against Francisco Duque (1-1) in a four-rounder. At Wednesday's press conference, this is what the fighters had to say. Emanuel Navarrete “For me and my team, being a three-division world champion will be the culmination of yet another goal in my career. We know that it won’t be easy. But, by doing that, I’ll feel that I have done something good in my career, and I’ll be satisfied with what I have achieved in my 10 years as a professional boxer.” “My team and my corner have been fundamental to my development. They are people who are very humble. My family is very humble and reserved. More than being humble, it’s a way of life. I appreciate that part of me, and I always try to be a better person.” “Liam Wilson comes with a strong desire to win the world title. And that’s why I’ve been focused on him 100 percent." Liam Wilson “This is a chance to fulfill my dream and become a world champion. I’ve done 17 years of hard work for this moment. I’ve put in a lot of hard work. I’ve fought whoever they’ve put in front of me. I’m ready for Friday night.” “I’ve taken one hard fight after another. Against Matias Rueda, I fought with one hand. I broke my hand midway through the fight. But I showed my resilience. The fight proved to myself, my country and the world that I have what it takes to become world champion and that I have to be in those fights.” “This means everything. This is what me, my team, my promoter, my manager and my trainers have worked for. We’ve taken the risks and challenges, and I know that on fight night I have a tough fight ahead of me. Navarrete is a great champion, but I do plan on giving him the fight of his life. I’m going to win.” Arnold Barboza Jr. “We’ve been training really hard. We have a very tough fight in front of us. We are not looking past this fight. For this camp, we went back to the drawing board. We’ve seen our mistakes. We’ve been training hard, and we’re ready.” “This is no question the biggest test of my career. We have nothing but respect for Pedraza and everything he’s done. We’re looking forward to this fight. It’s going to be a great fight. I’m looking forward to testing myself, and it’s going to bring out the best of me.” “We trained at high altitude at Big Bear. Camp started there. My father did a great job of putting a plan together and bringing in the sparring partners that we needed. We’re ready to go.” Jose Pedraza “Barboza is a great boxer. He is an elite boxer. By beating him, I will position myself towards a world title opportunity.” “What is most important to me is to be able to create new fans, international fans as well. Wherever you go, those fans will recognize you and admire you. That makes one feel great. When it comes to my family, my family is everything. The first thing I do after finishing a fight is to be with my family.” “I’m the kind of boxer who is always underestimated, but that’s a motivation to shut mouths.” Richard Torrez Jr. “I switched it up a little bit. I have some really good coaches at the Olympic training center. Billy Walsh, who is an Olympic head coach, and my dad. They communicate really well. There’s nothing like being up in the altitude, getting some training with a lot of elite guys. Being able to be there and get conditioned was really great.” Nico Ali Walsh “It’s tough to say who is my toughest opponent because everyone shows up differently come fight night. So, we will see. I don’t know if the crowd will be on his side. People like you when you’re winning. So, if you’re doing well, then the crowd will cheer for you.” “Boxing is tough. It’s a love-hate relationship because obviously I love boxing. I see the outcomes of my work and it’s great. But it’s very tough. It’s not fun going through training camp. That kind of stuff is not fun. But the fight days make it worth it, and that’s what I’m looking forward to.” Eduardo Ayala “I really thought this would be at Madison Square Garden or Las Vegas. But when they told me it was going to be in [my home state of] Arizona, a weight was lifted off my shoulders. It’s just amazing being here.” “I look at this like it’s just my next fight on my road. The ‘Ali’ last name is definitely a plus. It’s the fight of my life. In boxing, anything can change with just one fight. Regardless, it is a great last name, but I make things so that it has less pressure on me.” Emiliano Fernando Vargas “I’m blessed to be here. This is another opportunity to showcase my skills. I’m excited. There’s nothing like Arizona fights. I know my father fought down here. Arizona has amazing fans, so I can’t wait to feel that emotion. I’m pumped and ready to go. I’m ready for another statement victory.”
