Colbert would leave his jabbing hand out as if to fend away any incoming shot and buy him a second or two to recover. He was fighting like he was hurt.Midway through the fifth, Garcia threw a near-eight punch combination which was the right technique at the right time as it left Colbert with little option but to absorb it, with his back against the ropes.Colbert had flashes of good work but it was mostly overshadowed by an unrelenting fighter in front of him, who landed big shots with ease, and happily left his hands down by his waist as if to tell the American 'Hey, you have no power.'Then, Garcia almost wrecked Colbert's world midway through the seventh when a straight left punch thundered into his face, dropping him flat on the canvas.Colbert got to his feet to survive, but the crowd in Vegas had turned. Colbert's team was raucous through the week, but now Garcia's fans were buoyant, screaming with joy, as they sensed a monster upset was on the cards.Though Colbert threatened to regroup in the latter rounds, by the 10th, Garcia was thumping him into retreat mode.Now, it was Garcia who was confident, fun, and flashy as he stood his ground, paused, raised his arms and tried to drag Colbert into fisticuffs with showboating behavior.On his gloves and his flamboyant shorts, Colbert had pieces of a puzzle. But on Saturday, Garcia solved it — a clear-cut unanimous decision for the Dominican.Victory for the underdog saw Garcia advance his pro record to 15 wins (10 knockouts), while Colbert falls to 16 wins (six knockouts) and one defeat.<h2><keyword id="13257597" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="gary-antuanne-russell" source="Orion">Gary Antuanne Russell</keyword> secures a late stoppage in <keyword id="13257596" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="viktor-postol" source="Orion">Viktor Postol</keyword> bout</h2><div type="image" title="Gary Antuanne Russell and Viktor Postol fought a super lightweight match Saturday." height="937" width="1250" msid="89866071" hostid="261"></div>American super lightweight Gary Antuanne Russell, a fast-rising star in this game aged 25, took the fight to 38-year-old Viktor Postol in their 140-pound bout.Postol told reporters at a press conference Insider attended Thursday that <a href="https://www.insider.com/ukraine-boxer-viktor-postols-family-in-the-middle-of-everything-2022-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">he has "family in the middle of everything at home" in Ukraine</a> — a country defending itself from Russia's invasion.He said those distractions would not affect his mentality when it came time to fight, and through the first quarter of the bout that much seemed true.Postol tried to box around Russell, but the younger fighter was happy to command the position in the middle of the ring, and hunt for his opponent's head.The more powerful punching came exclusively from Russell, who wailed hook shots on Postol's face throughout the early going.In the third round, he added a straight left to his effective arsenal of potential match-changing punches, dazing Postol when he sent his glove through his kisser.Postol grew into the fight as it reached its middle stage, nicking rounds, making Russell spit blood into his bucket before the start of the sixth.But then Russell wound up that trusted left hand again, nailing Postol with that southpaw straight of his. And then again, and then a right hand. And when Russell turned it on, the fight was his.But Postol was making him work harder than he has ever had to work before the 14 knockouts he scored from the 14 fights he'd had in the pro game before this one.There are learnings for Russell to take as he continues to develop — Postol was able to counter him, he needs to work on his defensive game, and he must beware of the punch resistance to his face because he wore the wounds of boxing Saturday.Regardless, Russell scored a finish in the 10th round when he had Postol hurt, and followed up with a barrage of strikes until the referee intervened somewhat questionably, as Postol, with his experience, could have likely fought on.When speaking to Showtime analyst Jim Gray, Russell said "definitely," when asked if the fight should have been stopped. "There was a lot of contacts. Low gloves. The judges made the correct decision."I think my performance speaks for itself. The talent speaks for itself. I believe I'm ready for a step-up fight."Postol left the ring early. It is unclear why. However, he said this week that he'll return to Ukraine to help with the war effort.Gray asked Russell if it's difficult to box Postol knowing the situation he faces in Eastern Europe. "Not at all," he said."We in the hurt business. I do take my hat to Postol — his country is at war, and there are bombs going off. But the man is coming to hurt me, and I'm coming to hurt him."With victory, Russell preserved and extended his perfect knockout ratio, advancing his boxing record to 15 wins (15 knockouts).<h2><keyword id="13265348" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="jerwin-ancajas" source="Orion">Jerwin Ancajas</keyword> and <keyword id="13265349" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="fernando-martinez" source="Orion">Fernando Martinez</keyword> went to war</h2><div type="image" title="Jerwin Ancajas and Fernando Martinez went to war Saturday." height="675" width="900" msid="89866073" hostid="261"></div>Filipino fighter Jerwin Ancajas, 30, lost his IBF world championship in the televised opener, as Fernando Martinez, also 30, brought the fire in their spectacular junior bantamweight showdown.There were times in the fight when Martinez was slugging away, attempting to take his opponent's jaw off its hinges with relentless shots that Ancajas just seemed to shrug off, even though they were landing flush on his face.The pace and pressure on display midway through the Premier Boxing Champions card was obscene, as neither fighter backed down, and seemed happy to exchange damaging blows all night long.Martinez seemed to have tallied multiple rounds but Ancajas, perhaps spurred by wise words from his corner, rallied.As the bout drew to an end, they stood and traded blow after blow, emptying the bullets from their clip until they had nothing left but air.To underline the violence that took place, these wild sluggers too badass for their own good, combined to throw an extraordinary 1,862 punches, according to Compubox data sent to Insider.Eventually, Martinez was announced as the rightful winner in a unanimous decision. Having wrested the belt away from Ancajas in style, he advanced his pro record to 14 wins (eight knockouts), and remains unbeaten."I'm at a loss for words," the new champion said. "This is a dream come true. I want to unify titles and fight the best. I fought a warrior tonight, and I made the seemingly impossible, possible."<div type="image" title="Fernando Martinez won the IBF junior bantamweight title in style." height="732" width="1000" msid="89866075" hostid="261"></div>On the untelevised undercard, three young American fighters lit up the event as Micky Scala, 19, Angel Barrientes, also 19, and Justin Cardona, 22, boxed impressively in separate bouts to further their fledgling pro careers.Scala breezed past Jose Gomez, Angel Barrientes battered Brian Cannady, and Justin Cardona bullied Joshua Draughter until the referee intervened in the third round to wave the bout off.<a href="https://www.insider.com/cardona-barrientes-scala-score-bruising-knockouts-at-pbc-event-2022-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Watch highlights of the early action here</a>.

It was horrible. Don't ever piss Cardona off because, man, just when you think that kid's gotten going, he activates a new level in bully mode and hammers Draughter's mid-section.Cardona knew all along that he could win by knockout, and with age and experience he likely could have gotten it sooner, as he boxed wild in the second before calming in the third round.Unlike the previous round where he put punches into wild bunches, Cardona threw single shots with remarkable power and consistency.Eventually, Daughter wilted. The corner would have known it, and the referee certainly knew it, as he waved the bout off there and then. Really, it should have been stopped sooner.Regardless, Cardona had done it — another win.Watch the finish right here:With victory, Cardona advanced his pro record to seven wins (four knockouts). He remains undefeated.Later, in the televised section of the show broadcast on Showtime <keyword id="11893855" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="sports" source="Orion">Sports</keyword>, Jerwin Ancajas defends his IBF junior bantamweight title against Fernando Martinez.Gary Antuanne Russell steps up in class against rangy jabber <a href="https://www.insider.com/ukraine-boxer-viktor-postols-family-in-the-middle-of-everything-2022-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Viktor Postol</a>, and <a href="https://www.insider.com/chris-colbert-to-level-up-career-and-fight-skakur-stevenson-2022-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chris Colbert fights</a> Hector Garcia in a WBA super featherweight title eliminator set for 12 rounds.

My family is in the middle of everything, but they are safe, and that's what is most important."Showtime <keyword id="11893855" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="sports" source="Orion">Sports</keyword> President <keyword id="13257598" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="stephen-espinoza" source="Orion">Stephen Espinoza</keyword> told Insider that "it's unimaginable" how distracting it must be for Postol."Rarely, in fights, is there a distraction of this magnitude where a home country and, more personally, where a family is at risk," Espinoza told us."And so as a father, as a husband, as a son, I'm sure his thoughts have to be on what's going on over there. It is human nature."But with a professional, like Postol who's been in with some of the best division, to the extent that you can compartmentalize that, he'll do that."He added: "He's been in tough situations before, but I can't imagine one that's personally much tougher than this one."<a href="https://www.boxingscene.com/postol-leave-las-vegas-right-russell-fight-rejoin-wife-twin-sons-war-torn-ukraine--164360" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Speaking to Boxing Scene</a>, Postol called the <keyword id="11893589" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="news" source="Orion">news</keyword> "upsetting" and "difficult" because "it's been escalating for a couple days. There's nothing good about it."But Postol, whose nickname is 'Iceman,' is trying to live — for the next 24 hours at least — with "a cold heart."He said: "I understand that if I go home now, today, it's not gonna change anything. I have my people in my home country that take care of my family. I know they're safe."I'm gonna do my job, and then I'm gonna go right back home after the fight to take care of them."<h2>Postol's job Saturday is to fight one of the best guys in his division</h2><div type="image" title="Gary Antuanne Russell and Viktor Russell faced-off for the last time Friday." height="1333" width="2000" msid="89839448" hostid="261"></div>Fighting Postol Saturday is Gary Antuanne Russell, who, at 25 years old, is 14 fights into his career — and has knocked out every one of those opponents.Russell is a tough dude and on a fast track toward the highest highs of the super lightweight division.But putting aside their job to compete against one another this weekend, Russell empathized with the position his opponent has been put in by Russia."I hope that with everything going on back home for Postol in Ukraine that it motivates him and makes him hungry to give the world a great fight on Saturday."Russell praised what Postol has done in his combat sports career but, regardless, is aiming to swat him aside so he can continue his quest to become a boxing superstar."They're going to say that I'm truly a superstar after this fight," he said this week. "That's what I've been saying for a long time. I'm stamping it on Saturday night."I'm going to give a show like I've always done … to be the next rising superstar. That's part of our plan."I've believed it all along, and now that other people are starting to see it, we're getting that much closer to our goal. The plan is to keep the knockout streak going. Execution is always our goal."Postol, who has esteemed coach Freddie Roach in his career, is unfazed.On the veteran boxing trainer Roach, who has trained dozens of world champion boxers including Manny Pacquiao, Postol said: "He's always able to give me the right adjustments in training and during the fight. "It helps with my confidence even more."He added: "I feel young and strong. I believe in myself. I'm very confident that I will become world champion again. This fight is a step toward achieving that feat."
