Her er hva jagerfly hadde å si Onsdag:

 

JACK Badou

 

“I’m just trying to stay positive and enjoy this moment. I wish that the fight was i morgen natt. But we’re showing patience and bracing for the opportunity.

 

“This is the biggest fight of my career and I’m ready to take it to the next level. I have the experience to be on this stage and I’m ready to show that I’m one of the best in the sport.

 

“I’ve seen DeGale fight a few times. His last couple of fights I don’t think we’ve seen the best of him. I want the best James DeGale to show up on fight night. There won’t be any excuses on fight night.

 

“I’m in the best shape of my life. I’m pretty sure he’s in the best shape of his life too. So let’s see who is the best.

 

“I’m going in there to break him down. I’m going to be the better fighter. If I get an opportunity to land something that can change the fight, I’m going to take my chance.

 

“This has been one of the best training camps of my career. My nutrition is better than it’s ever been and I have positive people around me.

 

“I believe I can knock anybody out who gets in the ring with me. If you don’t believe that in yourself, then you’re in the wrong sport. I’m not expecting an easy fight, but I’ll do whatever it takes to win.

 

“My trainer Lou Del Valle is the reason that I’ve improved so much. I brought him back in after my loss and he’s helped get me to where I am right now.

 

“There is no doubt we’ll know who the best super middleweight in the world is after Lørdag natt. "

 

JAMES Degale

 

“I just flew to New York på mandag after a brilliant camp. I’ve been training well and sparring hard. I’ve had some great work on the track and I’ve ran a lot of miles. Jeg er i fantastisk form.

 

“This fight has a different feel. I feel like I’m in a big fight. I feel like I’m on a different level of fitness for this one. Mind, body and soul. Alt er flott.

 

“I’m mentally prepared. Badou Jack is an extremely good fighter. He’s a tough opponent. He gets better every single fight. The way I’m feeling right now, Badou Jack shouldn’t beat me. I’m focused on fighting my very best.

 

“I’ve sacrificed a lot to put myself in this position and to make sure this was a great camp. Now the time is here.

 

“To have a media day in Brooklyn is great. I’m in a fantastic position in my life and career. I’m more comfortable than I was years ago. Back in the day I wouldn’t know what to say. I’m a man now and I’m ready to reach my destiny.

 

“Movement, speed and angles are my keys. If I’m focused and take no rounds off, that should do it. It will do it. Anything can happen in boxing, but I’m too prepared for this.

 

“I look at Badou Jack, and even though he’s been getting better, I think I’m a much better fighter. He’s very high quality and I have to be on my game. Det kommer til å bli en stor kamp, but I will be victorious.

 

“My loss to George Groves was a blessing in disguise. If that didn’t happen to me, I don’t know where I would be in my career. I was too big for my boots back then. I thought I was the golden boy and I was humbled. I had to rebuild and I came back.”

 

Jose Pedraza

 

“I let [Gervonta] Davis do the talking. I like when people talk like that, because I get to shut them up on the night of the fight. He’s a Floyd Mayweather imitation. Just like all imitations, it’s not as good as the real one.

 

“I’m very happy to be here representing Puerto Rico in New York City with another Puerto Rican champion in Amanda Serrano. She’s a four-time champion who is very accomplished and it’s an honor to be on this card with her.

 

“I feel ready to fight. I’m anxious to get in the ring. Jeg kan ikke vente på Lørdag night and to show the whole world what I’m made of.

 

“I have the advantage in experience and in reach and height. He’s going to try to bring pressure but I’ll be ready for it.

 

“Not only do I have more pro experience, but more amateur experience as well. All of these years of being on the big stage is going to help me in the fight.

 

“I don’t think I’m underrated. People know my quality, which is why people avoid fighting me. I believe I’m the best fighter at 130-pounds.

 

“I’m ready for any type of fight. Spørsmålet er, will Davis be ready? If Davis gets tired, he’s going to have trouble in the late rounds.”

 

GERVONTA DAVIS

 

“I feel great right now. I’m in tip-top shape. I had the best sparring available and everything went smoothly. I’m ready to go to work Januar 14.

 

“We know that Pedraza is a world champion who comes in undefeated. He does a lot of good things in the ring but we’ll be ready for them come fight night.

 

“It feels good to be on this stage. I feel ready to headline my own card. I’m ready to do my own thing and that comes with winning this world title.

 

“I haven’t watched too much of him, but my team is prepared. He doesn’t have anything I haven’t seen before. We just have to execute the game plan when the bell rings.”

 

YAZMIN RIVAS

 

“I know that I’m up against a girl who is a heavy hitter and can punch hard. I’ve been training extremely hard to prepare for this fight because I know I’m facing a dangerous fighter. I just need to maintain my weight up until fight night.

 

“I’ve trained with a lot of southpaws to prepare for Serrano’s style. It’s only the second time I’ve faced a southpaw. I come in with a game plan, but once you step in that ring, I know that anything can happen.

 

“I’m a veteran and I have the experience. Serrano will have to overcome my advantage there.

 

“I’m excited to be fighting in the U.S. and I know that this is a huge opportunity. Fighting on television is something I have to take advantage of. Etter denne kampen, people will really see what female boxing is all about.

 

“I’m very motivated and excited that I have the chance to fight in Brooklyn in the best city in the U.S. for boxing. I’m going to come to fight. I won’t back down and we will be in the middle of the ring exchanging.”

 

IEVGEN KHYTROV

 

“I’ve seen Aleem fight and he’s nothing special. He’s very fast. He does everything very quickly. But he can be hit. He has a little bit of power, but I can hit him.

 

“I’m going to take advantage of his mistakes. I’m ready for this fight and I’m going for the knockout. This isn’t going to be a long fight. I think I will knock him out in five or six rounds.

 

“I’m an aggressive fighter. I want to brawl. I want to throw a lot of punches. I’m happy if I can throw 100 punches in a round. Nobody can take that kind of punishment and it helps me get my opponent out of there.

 

“I’m happy to be fighting in Brooklyn at Barclays Center. It’s very important to my career. After this fight I am going to get big steps up and big names. I’m going to show what I can do på lørdag.

 

“I want to fight for a real world title. I’m ready for it and I just want to face good opponents and challenge myself.”

 

IMMANUWEL ALEEM

 

“This has been a great training camp. I have George Peterson in my corner and he made Paul Williams a three-time champion. He’s putting me through the same regimen that made him one of the most feared fighters in the sport.

 

“I don’t know too much about my opponent. We have a game plan based around him being some type of bull, but my trainer is the one analyzing that, and then we go from there.

 

“I bring the total package into the ring. Det er ingenting jeg kan ikke gjøre. I can box and I can brawl. Viktigst, I can make adjustments during a fight.

 

“A win here will really stamp who I am in this sport. We’re leading to become a world champion. I’m not a regular fighter in there. I can beat these top guys.”

 

JULIAN SOSA

 

“I can honestly say that this is one of the best training camps that I’ve had. I’m both nervous and excited. I’m nervous because I’ve never had a training camp like this and I’m excited to see how I feel in the ring.

 

“I’ve seen a few tapes of my opponent. He’s a very aggressive fighter who throws a lot of right hands. I have to prepare myself for that. If he wants to start early or take his time, I’m ready for anything.

 

“I’m very confident heading into this fight. I believe that I will put on a great performance and possibly the best of my career.

 

“I’m very thankful to be fighting at home in Brooklyn and I’m humbled to have the opportunity to perform at Barclays Center once again. There’s no better feeling than having your friends and family cheering you on.

SANTA MONICA, CALIF (Januar 9, 2017) – Two of the best women’s featherweights in the world, Marloes Coenen (23-7) og Julia Budd (9-2), will meet on March 3 to determine the undisputed 145-pound champion inside WinStar World Casino & Resort i Thackerville, OK.

The Dutch submission specialist has since continued along her impressive path, tallying 23 career wins, Inkludert 20 finishes. Nå, the 35-year-old will look to build off of a pair of victories under the Bellator MMA banner and bring home the first ever Bellator MMA Women’s Featherweight World Title, adding to a mantel that already includes a Strikeforce Bantamweight Title. Med 30 career fights under her belt, the most glaring advantage for “Rumina” will be her experience, as her opponent comes in having made only 11 professional appearances inside the cage.

Budd enters the contest on Mars 3 riding a seven-fight winning streak and has recorded victories in each of her first three fights under the direction of Bellator MMA. The former Strikeforce competitior has surrendered just two losses over her seven-year career, one at the hands of former Strikeforce Champion Ronda Rousey and one to the current UFC bantamweight world champion, Amanda Nunes.

‘BELLATOR 173’ HEADS TO THE SSE ARENA IN BELFAST ON FEBRUARY 24 AS LIAM MCGEARY TAKES ON CHRIS FIELDS

Legg igjen en kommentar

 

B173_1920x1080

SANTA MONICA, CALIF. (Januar 10, 2017) – A light heavyweight bout pitting former 205-pound world champion Liam McGeary (11-1) mot Chris Fields (11-7-1) will serve as the main event of "Bellator 173: McGeary vs. felt," which will take place inside The SSE Arena in Belfast, Northern Ireland on Fredag, Februar 24.

 

"Bellator 173: McGeary vs. Fields” airs on Spike at 9 pm. OG/8 pm. CT. Tickets for the event start at just £35 and can be purchased at Ticketmaster.ie, SSEArenaBelfast.com, or the SSE Arena box office.

 

Hailing from Andover, England, the 34-year-old McGeary will make the short trek up to Northern Ireland’s capital for the first time in his career, where he will once again compete in a main event. The former Bellator MMA light heavyweight champion will enter the cage for the 10th time under the Scott Coker-led promotion, where he has posted an 8-1 record with seven finishes. Following an 11-fight winning streak to begin his professional career, McGeary finally experienced the sour taste of defeat, når Phil Davis wrestled the title away from him at ‘Bellator 163.’ McGeary has consistently proven to be one of the most dangerous strikers and submission artists in the 205-pound division, finishing his victim in 10 av 11 career wins, including eight in the opening frame. Much like the “RMS Titanic,” which was built in Belfast, McGeary hopes to sink Fields when the two take center stage inside The SSE Arena on Februar 24.

 

A native of Dublin, Irland, Fields will also have a short trek to Belfast when he enters the cage on Februar 24. “The Housewives’ Choice” will be making his Bellator MMA debut, following nine years under the direction of local promotions, including three appearances under European powerhouse BAMMA. After competing at middleweight in 2015, the 33-year-old Fields returned to the light heavyweight division, recording a first round submission victory over Dan Konecke at “BAMMA 24.” Fields has tallied finishes in each of his 11 career wins, making him one of the most menacing opponents for anyone standing in his way. Now the SBG Ireland product will look to make a splash in his first fight with Bellator MMA, as he prepares for the former division kingpin.

 

Hailing from nearby Straban, Irland, the 20-year-old Gallagher is one of the brightest stars in all “The Emerald Island.” At age 15, “The Strabanimal” moved away from home to join Coach John Kavanagh at Straight Blast Gym (SBG), where he now trains alongside the best fighters in the country including Connor McGregor. Having made his Bellator debut in London this past July in London, Gallagher followed up in December with a submission victory over Anthony Taylor in front of a raucous home crowd at the 3Arena in Dublin. Gallagher’s opponent will be announced in the near future.

 

Oppdatert "Bellator 173: McGeary vs. Fields” Main Card:

Light Heavyweight Main Event: Liam McGeary (11-1) vs. Chris Fields (11-7-1)

Featherweight Feature: James Gallagher (5-0) vs. TBD

SHOWTIME SPORTS® MEDDELER ORIGINALDOKUMENTÆR “FANGENSKJEMPER: 5 Runder til frihet ”

Legg igjen en kommentar

 

Film undersøker kontroversiell praksis for thailandske innsatte som kjemper for deres frihet

TRAILER LINK: http://s.sho.com/2iZJLSt

Premierer Fredag, Februar 24 ved 8:30 pm. OG/PT på SHOWTIME®

NEW YORK (Jan. 9, 2017)—SHOWTIME Sport® kunngjorde en kraftig ny dokumentar, FENGSELKAMPERE: 5 Runder til frihet, som undersøker en kontroversiell praksis i Thailands strafferettssystem hvor innsatte kan tjene sin frihet ved å vinne en serie Muay Thai-kamper. A SHOWTIME Sports original produksjon, den 90 minutter lange filmen har premiere den Fredag, Februar. 24 ved 8:30p ET / PT på SHOWTIME.

 

Det statssponserte rehabiliteringsprogrammet, populært kjent som fengselskamp, er ikke reservert for småkriminelle. Under loven, voldelige kriminelle, inkludert de som er dømt for drap og seksuelle overgrep, har blitt frigjort og, i noen tilfeller, fullt frikjent for deres forbrytelser gjennom deres deltakelse i fengselskamp.

 

“Denne historien er ulik noe vi noen gang har opplevd,"Sa Stephen Espinoza, Konserndirektør og daglig leder, Showtime Sports. “Forløsning er en vanlig metafor i sportshistorier, men dette er en historie om faktisk innløsning og rehabilitering, med fanger som bokstavelig talt kjemper for løslatelse fra fengselet. Denne filmen bringer seerne inn i en personlig historie om kriminalitet og straff, satt opp mot en samfunnsdebatt om betydningen av rettferdighet, rehabilitering og muligheten for en ny sjanse. ”

 

Fortalt av Ron Perlman, FANGENSKJEMPER sentrerer om historien om Noy Khaopan, en dømt morder som soner i Khao Prik fengsel i Thailand. Seerne vil følge Noys reise gjennom Prison Fight og høre fra familien hans, så vel som fra den sønderknuste familien til Noys offer. Til syvende og sist, Noys frihet hviler på en siste kamp, som stiller et kritisk spørsmål: Kan voldelige menn forløse seg gjennom voldelige handlinger?

 

Men mens Noy og andre innsatte kjemper bokstavelig for sin frihet, Prison Fight-programmet har også tiltrukket seg profesjonelle Muay Thai-krigere fra hele verden som er ivrige etter å teste seg i dette unike miljøet. Amerikanske Cody Moberly fra Wichita, Kan., en profesjonell jagerutdannelse og konkurrerer i Thailand med en egen innløsningshistorie, fungerer som Noys motstander i den siste high-stakes-kampen.

 

Filmen fokuserer også på den tidligere verdensmesterbokser “Oh” Sirimongkol Singwangcha, som nå driver et treningsanlegg i utkanten av Bangkok. En gang ansett som Thailands Manny Pacquiao, "Oh" ble dømt for narkotikabesittelse år tidligere, men tjente seg frem til frihet gjennom fengselskampsystemet.

 

FANGELSKJEMPERE: 5 Rounds To Freedom er produsert av Sports Emmy® prisvinneren Jason Bowers, skrevet av forfatter og Sports Emmy prisbelønte forfatter Mark Kriegel og regissert av Micah Brown. FANGELSKJEMPERE: 5 Rounds To Freedom er blant flere distinkte og provoserende dokumentarer tilgjengelig på SHOWTIME. Andre nylige titler inkluderer “RUNNING FOR HIS LIFE: The Lawrence Phillips Story ”; "EN & FERDIG ” (Ben Simmons); “KOBE BRYANT’S MUSE,”“ IVERSON,”“ SPILL DET FREMTID ” (Tony Gonzalez), “JEG ER GIANT: Victor Cruz,”“ DREW ” (Baron Davis), og “DEAN SMITH.”

New Opponents Named For Kenneth Sims Jr. & Stephon Young In ShoBox Quadrupleheader Live At 10 pm. OG/PT From Bally’s Atlantic City Hotel & Casino

 

NEW YORK (Jan. 9, 2017) – The previously announced matchup between undefeated WBA ranked No 3-ranked super bantamweight Adam Lopez and the WBA’s No. 4-rangert Danny Roman has been elevated to a 12-round title eliminator for the WBA (regulær) Super Bantamweight belt held by Nehomar Cermeno.

Lopez is a classic example of a ShoBox prospect-turned-contender. Han er 3-0-1 on the series, having defeated three previous unbeaten boxers. Roman has won 13 in a row dating to March 2014, and none of the fights have been close.

 

“I am excited that this is an elimination bout and I am one step closer to fighting for a world championship,"Sa Lopez. “Very few fighters ever get a chance to fight for a title, and I’m not going to let it slip away. It’s a huge motivator, and the stakes are higher. I am fighting for a chance to fight a guy in Cermeno who is 37 and maybe past his prime. So if I win on Januar 20, I feel I will win against Cermeno. He is beatable, and that is the perfect opponent to become a world champion. After I beat Roman, Cermeno will pass the torch to me.”

 

Said Roman: “This is what we’ve been working toward since day one. A shot at a world title is every boxer’s dream. I can’t speak for Adam, but the stakes have never been higher for me. Beating Adam is the only thing on my mind.”

 

In a featured bout on the four-fight ShoBox sendingen, ubeseiret, former national amateur champion Kenneth Sims Jr. (10-0, 3 KOs) will face a new opponent, gang-beaten Emmanuel Robles (15-1-1, 5 KOs), i en åtte-runde superlett bout.
I TV-opener, ubeseiret Stephon Young (15-0, 3 KOs) will take on new foe Elton Dharry (20-5-1, 13 KOs) i en åtte-runde super bantamvekt bout.

For Immediate Release – January 4, 2017

Toronto, Canada (Januar 4, 2017) – Anthem Sports & Entertainment Corp. today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire a majority interest in TNA IMPACT Wrestling, and has formed Anthem Wrestling Exhibitions, LLC. Anthem also owns Fight Network, verdens fremste 24/7 multi-platform channel dedicated to complete coverage of combat sports, which is IMPACT Wrestling’s exclusive broadcast partner in Canada and worldwide digital partner.

“We are thrilled to have acquired TNA IMPACT Wrestling,” said Ed Nordholm, Executive Vice President of Anthem Sports & Entertainment Corp., the parent of Fight Network. “As we grow Anthem’s linear, digital and mobile platforms globally, top tier content with global appeal is key to that success and this acquisition is a perfect strategic addition to our portfolio. IMPACT has been a dominant wrestling brand around the world for more than a decade and we are confident that Anthem can leverage its assets and strategic partnerships to take IMPACT Wrestling to even greater heights.”

Mr. Nordholm, who has been the managing director of the IMPACT Ventures Board of Managers since October 2016, will assume the position of President of Anthem Wrestling Exhibitions, LLC. Dixie Carter will resign from her position as Chairman of Impact Ventures and join the Advisory Board of Fight Media Group, which holds all of the combat sports-related assets of Anthem, where her focus will be on the global growth of the combat sports-related brands owned by Anthem.

“Anthem has been a great partner for many years,” added Dixie Carter. “We have worked hard to find the right company who would acquire TNA, use its strategic influence and have a long-term commitment to the brand. TNA’s incredible fans, talent and staff deserved to see the brand continue to thrive after 15+ years of incredible growth. I’m excited to move to a new position and work with Anthem on their global strategic plan, and I am confident TNA IMPACT Wrestling is going to be a huge part of their success.”

Ms. Carter will remain a minority equity stakeholder.
