Santa Cruz-Avalos, Mares-Gutierrez Set for 10/14 at StubHub - Boxing News
Santa Cruz-Avalos, Mares-Gutierrez Set for 10/14 at StubHub

By Keith Idec

The opponents are set for the tune-up fights Leo Santa Cruz and Abner Mares hope will lead to their rematch sometime early in 2018.

The Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday night that Santa Cruz will face Chris Avalos and Mares will meet Andres Gutierrez in 126-pound title fights FOX will televise October 14 from StubHub Center in Carson, California. Santa Cruz and Mares tentatively were supposed to fight again October 7 at Staples Center in Los Angeles, but their rematch was postponed because they couldn’t come to a financial agreement to box in a fight Showtime was supposed to televise.

BoxingScene.com has learned that as part of the Southern California rivals’ deal to take tune-up fights on the same show, Santa Cruz and Mares have reached undisclosed financial terms for a rematch that must take place within the first quarter of 2018.

“We wanted a tune-up after the long layoff we’ve had since January,” Santa Cruz told the Los Angeles Times. Mares would’ve been fine with facing Santa Cruz on October 7, but said, “I’m OK with it. I do understand [Santa Cruz] is on the ‘A’ side of it.”

Santa Cruz beat Mares by majority decision in their first fight in August 2015 at Staples Center.

Mares became the mandatory challenger for Santa Cruz’s WBA super world featherweight title thanks to his split-decision defeat of Argentina’s Jesus Cuellar on December 10 at USC’s Galen Center in Los Angeles. The 31-year-old Mares (30-2-1, 15 KOs) won the WBA world featherweight title from Cuellar (28-2, 21 KOs).

The 29-year-old Santa Cruz (33-1-1, 18 KOs) won back the WBA super world featherweight championship from Carl Frampton (23-1, 14 KOs) on January 28 at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Santa Cruz defeated Northern Ireland’s Frampton by majority decision nearly six months after Frampton took that title from Santa Cruz by winning a majority decision against the native Mexican in July 2016 at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center.

In Avalos (27-5, 20 KOs), Santa Cruz will encounter a 27-year-old contender who’s coming off a five-round, technical knockout win against Houston’s Miguel Flores (21-2, 9 KOs) on July 18 in Alexandria, Louisiana.

A cut over Flores’ left eye caused a ringside physician to stop their fight following the fifth round. Flores was winning that bout by the same score on all three cards (48-46) when it was stopped and had dropped Avalos in the third round.

Avalos, of Lancaster, California, had lost three of his previous four fights by technical knockout, including a fifth-round TKO defeat to Frampton in February 2015. Santa Cruz, of Rosemead, California, scored a close decision win over Avalos when they were amateurs.

As for Gutierrez, Mares will meet an opponent whose last fight was canceled amid strange circumstances. Mexico’s Gutierrez (35-1-1, 25 KOs) was supposed to fight Frampton on July 29 in Belfast, but the entire card was scrapped hours after their weigh-in July 28 because Gutierrez slipped in the shower, suffered cuts to his chin and nose, and damaged two teeth.

Malignaggi believes the fans want this fight to happen and he's ready to get in the ring to do it.

“I think the fans want it and I think its a very sellable fight. How bad does he want it? I’ll tell you this, he has most of the public perception that he got the better of me in sparring and he has them believing in that f***ing knockdown. But we knows what happens if he fights me. He knows he sparred with me when I was only at 35-40 percent because I was retired and he knows the trouble he had with me," Malignaggi told Andreas Hale.

“I’m all about it, man. I’ll make it winner-takes-all. I’m willing to risk fighting him for free just to punch him in the mouth again and again and again. That’s how confident I am they can’t beat me. A fighter is a fighter when faced with adversity. Anytime somebody gets Conor McGregor to that point of adversity in MMA or boxing, he punks out. You can’t teach that. Either you have balls or you don’t.”


How confident is Malignaggi? He is willing to stipulate to a clause that gives McGregor additional money if he's capable of lasting to the final bell.

“If Conor doesn’t get stopped by me – and I’m a guy who doesn’t get a lot of stoppages – if Conor doesn’t get stopped by me I should get penalized at least a portion of my purse just for not stopping the guy," Malignaggi said.





Who's man is this?:hhh:


Dude is desperate for a McGregor payday:scust:

Charlo-Lubin, Hurd-Trout, Lara-Gausha - Showtime Triple, 10/14

By Keith Idec

An intriguing super welterweight title bout between champion Jermell Charlo and mandatory challenger Erickson Lubin will cap off a packed night of televised boxing October 14.

BoxingScene.com has been informed that an announcement is imminent regarding a Showtime tripleheader featuring the Charlo-Lubin bout from Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Houston’s Charlo (29-0, 14 KOs) will defend his WBC 154-pound championship against the 21-year-old Lubin (18-0, 13 KOs), a highly regarded contender from Orlando, Florida.

Showtime’s tripleheader will include two more super welterweight title bouts.

In the co-featured fight, Jarrett Hurd (20-0, 14 KOs), of Accokeek, Maryland, will make the first defense of his IBF junior middleweight title against ex-WBA champion Austin Trout (30-3, 17 KOs), of Las Cruces, New Mexico. The telecast also will match Miami-based Cuban southpaw Erislandy Lara (24-2-2, 14 KOs) in a defense of his WBA super world super welterweight title against Cleveland’s Terrell Gausha (20-0, 9 KOs).

A press conference to officially announce the October 14 tripleheader is expected to take place sometime next week in New York.

The three fights Showtime is set to air are among five televised bouts Al Haymon’s Premier Boxing Champions has put together for October 14. Showtime’s tripleheader will immediately follow FOX’s broadcast of tune-up fights featuring featherweight champions Leo Santa Cruz and Abner Mares from StubHub Center in Carson, California.

Santa Cruz (33-1-1, 18 KOs), of Rosemead, California, has agreed to defend his WBA super world featherweight championship against Chris Avalos (27-5, 20 KOs), of Lancaster, California, in the FOX main event. Mares (30-2-1, 15 KOs), of Montebello, California, will make the first defense of his WBA world featherweight title against Mexico’s Andres Gutierrez (35-1-1, 25 KOs) before Santa Cruz and Avalos square off.

Santa Cruz, who beat Mares by majority decision in August 2015, and Mares have reached a financial agreement for a rematch that is to take place within the first quarter of 2018 if they win their respective tune-up bouts October 14.

FOX’s doubleheader will be off the air October 14 before Showtime’s tripleheader begins.

The card headlined by Charlo-Lubin is expected to be the first of two within a three-week span at Barclays Center.

Another show is tentatively scheduled to take place there November 4. Deontay Wilder (38-0, 37 KOs), of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, likely will make an optional defense of his WBC heavyweight title against Cuban southpaw Luis Ortiz (27-0, 23 KOs, 2 NC) in the main event that night, but a Wilder-Ortiz deal had not been finalized as of Wednesday morning.
