CANELO ALVAREZ IMPRESSES IN CONTROVERSIAL TECHNICAL KNOCKOUT VICTORY OVER ALFREDO "EL PERRO" ANGULO IN SATURDAY'S SHOWTIME PPV® MAIN EVENT






Leo Santa Cruz Retains WBC Super Bantamweight World Championship
In Near-Shutout Of Cristian Mijares



Watch The Main Event Next Saturday, March 15
At 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT On SHOWTIME® Before SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® Presentation of Danny Garcia vs. Mauricio Herrera

LAS VEGAS (March 8, 2014) - Mexican superstar Canelo Alvarez scored a controversial 10th round technical knockout victory over Alfredo "El Perro" Angulo in front of 14,610 fans at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in the main event of Saturday's "TOE TO TOE: CANELO vs. ANGULO" on SHOWTIME PPV.

Canelo (43-1-1, 31 KOs) landed a vicious left uppercut that rocked "El Perro's" head back at 0:47 of the 10thround.  Sensing Angulo was taking too much punishment, referee Tony Weeks stepped in and halted the exciting battle.

Looking to bounce back from the first loss of his career when he faced pound-for-pound champ Floyd Mayweather last September, Canelo displayed vicious accuracy and a devastating left hook as he controlled the bout from the opening bell.  Angulo gained some momentum in the second half of the fight, including a scintillating eighth round, which Angulo won on all three judges' scorecards. The two Mexican warriors exchanged blows and taunted each other for more punishment in a potential 2014 Round of the Year candidate.

Despite the sensational action in the eighth, it was clear Canelo was in control throughout.  Angulo's trainer,Virgil Hunter, threatened to stop the fight between the ninth and 10th rounds if he didn't see more action from his fighter. 

"The referee is the marshal," Canelo said.  "He has the order.  He is the chief and he stopped the fight because he knew what was going on.  I was doing my job.  This is the law of the ring.  I could have fought another 10 rounds, but the referee stopped the fight."

Angulo was visibly frustrated and passionately protested the stoppage, pleading his case after losing the biggest fight his career. 

"I'm upset because they should have let the fight go on," Angulo said.  "I'm frustrated. They should have let it go to the end.  I'm fine.  The referee was wrong this time." 

Hunter agreed: "Of course I'm very upset.  I told the doctor if Canelo got two or three consecutive punches on him I would stop the fight.  He only landed one punch and they stopped the fight.  Everybody knows Alfredo was coming on strong." 

In a post-fight interview with SHOWTIME reporter Jim Gray, Nevada State Athletic Commission ChairmanFrancisco Aguilar defended Weeks' decision. 

"After speaking with Tony and the doctor, I think it's understandable why the decision was made," Aguilar said.  "Tony made his decision and he made his decision with the consultation of a doctor. 

"Our job as a commission is to ensure the health and safety of our fighters.  We don't want the referee to determine the outcome of the fight but he made the decision to protect the health of the fighter."

Regardless of the nature of his victory, Canelo proved that he is back and showed that he is still one of boxing's brightest stars. 

"Tonight I was the best fighter," Canelo said.  "I definitely rebounded from the Mayweather fight with a strong performance today.   I'm very happy.  I came in here and did my job."

Saturday's main event will replay on SHOWTIME on Saturday, March 15 before The SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING presentation of Danny Garcia vs. Mauricio Herrera. 

WBC Super Bantamweight Champion Leo Santa Cruz scored a near-shutout of Cristian Mijares in a dominating 12-round unanimous decision (119-109, 120-108 twice) in Saturday's co-feature. 

The two-division champion Santa Cruz put on a brilliant performance in his second successful 122-pound title defense, suffocating his opponent with more than 1,000 punches in what seemed like target practice against the former world champ.  Santa Cruz (27-0-1, 15 KOs) showcased a tremendously effective uppercut, pressing forward throughout the fight despite a deep gash above his right eye that was caused by an accidental clash of heads. 

 "This is my dream come true," Santa Cruz said.  "Mijares is a great boxer, but I came here to do what I had to do to beat him.  Of course he's very experienced and we had to be 100 percent.  We practiced with lefties so we could be ready for everything. 

"The blood was going to my eyes sometimes but it didn't bother me.  If Carl Frampton is next, I want him next.  I'll fight whoever they put in front of me."

Mijares (49-8-2, 24 KOs) admitted he was frustrated by Santa Cruz's consistent pressure.  

"I did my job.  It was difficult for me but I did everything I could," Mijares said.  "It was difficult because of Leo's reach.  He threw a lot of punches but he never hurt me." 

Jorge Linares (36-3, 23 KOs) and Nihito Arakawa (24-4-1, 16 KOs) put on a show in the second bout of the PPV, exchanging almost 1,200 punches in 10 brutal rounds as Linares won a hard-fought unanimous decision victory scored 98-92 and 100-90 twice. 

Both fighters overcame cuts, but Linares' combinations were the difference.  He repeatedly landed punishing shots with ease against his Japanese opponent to record his fifth straight victory. 

 "I knew that Arakawa could take a punch going into the fight," Linares said.  "I hurt my right hand in the fourth round and that's why I relied so heavily on my left.  I want to fight for the title as soon as [WBC Lightweight World Champion] Omar Figueroa Jr. is ready."

Arakawa, who has quickly made a name for himself to boxing fans in the U.S. with his aggressive and relentless approach to fighting, knew he didn't do enough to earn the victory in just his second fight stateside. 

"I'm okay, but I'm disappointed I didn't win," Arakawa said.  "I knew I wasn't winning, but I tried to fight as best I could.  I couldn't make it happen.  Linares is very good and very strong."

In a spectacular opening bout of the pay-per-view telecast, late replacement Sergio "Yeyo" Thompsonrecorded an impressive unanimous decision victory over Ricardo "Dinamita" Alvarez (97-91, 95-93 twice) after taking the bout on less than one week's notice. 

The all-action match featured little defense as the Mexican brawlers exchanged power shots for 10 rounds. 

"In the first round I knew I hurt him and I knew I had sufficient power at 135 pounds," Thompson said.  "I'm very excited about this because I was training for another fight and I took this fight on one week's notice and I was able to counter him effectively." 

Thompson (29-3, 26 KOs) knocked down Alvarez (23-3-3, 13 KOs) for the first time in his career in the third round and scored another knockdown in the eighth round with a thundering overhand right. 

"I'm going to talk to my team to see if I should stay at 135 pounds," Alvarez said.  "I threw punches like I normally do, but the power wasn't there."

Below is what the fighters said at Wednesday’s workouts:

CANELO ALVAREZ:
“My main concern when we are this close to a fight, is always my weight and making the weight.  Although I’m on weight and it will not be a problem, that is always my concern this close to a fight.  All of the hard work in the gym is done.

“Between the fans, my family and myself, I’m always motivated for my fights.  The support I get has always motivated me.  I fight for them, on behalf of them.  Everything I have is because of the fans.  I know I’m young and they have so much faith in me.  I can just be who I am and continue to work as hard as I can.

“Angulo presents a difficult challenge because he’s a fighter who can punch and take a great punch.  I know I have to prepare and establish my game plan early.  But you know how it can be with game plans.  Sometimes, once a fight starts, you have to do what you have to do win and that’s what I am going to do on Saturday.

“Obviously a knockout would be beautiful; that’s what the fans like, an impressive knockout.  But I never go into a fight looking for knockout.  If it comes, it comes.

“Everyone says Angulo is the stronger guy, but I think I’m the strongest.”


ALREDO ANGULO:
“Style-wise, this is a great matchup for the fans and both of us.  Fans are going to get a great fight.

“I’m ready to chase him or fight him like a true Mexican warrior.

“I plan to test him like he’s never been tested before.  I don’t think anyone has ever hit Canelo as hard as I’m going to hit him.

“I’m totally relaxed and confident.  Camp was amazing and I am in unbelievably great shape.  

“There were a couple times when I was in the immigration detention center (January-August 2012) that I wanted to quit.  But my team of lawyers always motivated me, wouldn’t let me stay down for too long and kept telling me that justice would prevail and that I shouldn’t give up.

“I always dreamed of being a headliner on a major card, and here it is.  I am so ready forSaturday.’’


LEO SANTA CRUZ:
“This is going to be a great fight, a war. I have a lot of respect for Mijares, who was a great champion and is still very fast. His style can be complicated which is why I’ve been working in the gym with southpaws who are like him.

“I feel [Cesar] Seda was stronger, younger and faster than Mijares.

“I never enter the ring thinking I’m going to lose, so if he says he can see something in me that indicates that, well, he is very wrong. I am going to stop him.’’


CRISTIAN MIJARES:
“This is such a great opportunity for me.  I totally feel like I’m catching Leo at the right time.  He’s a great, young champion and I know this is going to be a difficult fight.  But I have too much experience for him, too much overall speed.

“I think Leo found out in his last fight that he is vulnerable.  I can see in his face, the look in his eyes, that he’s going to lose on Saturday. I am very confident.’’


JERMALL CHARLO:
“This fight is a stepping-stone in my career.  In order to be the champion that I want to be, I have to get past this obstacle.  He has the title, he has what I want.

“It’s going to take hard work, guts and determination.  It’s going to take everything I’ve prepared for to stay in there and battle with him.  I need to stay focused and be able to deal with everything that he brings into the ring – the shots behind the head, low blows, I’ll be ready for everything.  We’ve all seen Molina fight and I’ve prepared in a way that he can’t surprise me with anything.

“I’m not fazed by the spotlight or the world championship.  This is where I belong.  I trained hard and will leave it all in the ring. 

“I already feel like a world champion and I’m here to prove that I’m ready for this level.  I’m going to show everyone that I’m here and that I’m going to be here for a long time.”


JORGE LINARES:
“The battle has already started; we just haven’t shot the first bullet yet.  But we are both ready for war.  We need to be. 

“It’s difficult to knock him down but it’s not impossible.  He certainly won’t fall with one punch, and that’s why I’ve prepared for 10 rounds of action..

“You can’t compare my style with Figueroa Jr.  We are completely different fighters.  I have to break him [Arakawa] down with my speed and intelligence.  I can’t fall into his territory and fight his fight. 

“I think there is a better chance that the ref stops this fight than it ending in one punch.  I’m going to break him down little by little. 

“This is the biggest opportunity for me at this point in my career.  My mind is just set on winning.  It’s been a long time coming so I know I need to be ready for this opportunity.  Whoever they put in front of me I can beat. 

“Fighting here at MGM pumps me up even more.  It gives me a little something extra every time I fight in Las Vegas.  I won my first title here in Vegas [at Mandalay Bay], but the difference is now people know who I am and they give me respect.” 


NIHITO ARAKAWA:
“I’m not looking at this as a personal challenge but as a challenge as a Japanese boxer and for all Japanese boxers.  I’m representing my country, I’m representing Japan.

“[In my last fight] I just did what was natural, which is to fight until the bell rings.  I didn’t win but I fought my fight.  I’m going to fight with the same style and aggressiveness, but this time I will get the win.

“I’m very happy to get the nickname ‘The Japanese Rocky.’  It’s an honor to earn a reputation like that after just my first fight in the United State.  It’s an honor to represent my country with this nickname.

“Spirit-wise, I won’t change.  I will fight until I win.  I’ll fix my defense and the issues I had against Omar [Figueroa Jr.] to ensure that I get a win.  I have a huge opportunity and I’m going to take advantage of it.”


RICARDO ALVAREZ:
“[On the injury to Figueroa Jr.]: That’s the way boxing is.  These types of things happen.  But I’ll be fine.  I’m just happy to be able to fight on this card.

“I always work hard.  Whenever the world title opportunity comes up I will be ready.  I’ll just keep working hard and the world title shot will come.

“In my last fight, I had a fighter that was moving a lot.  It probably wasn’t’ the best for my style, but you learn each time you step in the ring.  This time, I’m going to move forward and be aggressive.  I’ll keep my style that I’ve always had to satisfy the fans.

“Omar and Sergio [Thompson] have similar styles so the late change doesn’t bother me that much.  I’ve prepared for a world title fight so I’m ready for everything.

“There is some sense of pride [fighting on the card with my brother].  I’m so happy for him and all of his success.  But it’s important for me to break away from that and fight my own fight.  At the end of the day, Canelo will not get in the ring with me.”
