Es ist nicht so, dass Jermall Charlo introvertiert ist oder jemand, der seine Gedanken nicht artikulieren kann. Es ist nur so, dass man lautstark ist, Look-at-Me-Showman gehört nicht zum Make-up des 154-Pfund-Champions.
Deswegen, wenige Leute außer Zwillingsbruder (und 154-Pfund-Titelverteidiger) Jermell Charlo sind sich bewusst, dass Jermall Charlo ein belesener ist, angehender Musikproduzent / Ingenieur, der ein feines Steak liebt und seinen Namen mit beiden Händen unterschreiben kann.
All dies und mehr haben wir gelernt, als wir uns kürzlich mit Jermall Charlo zusammengesetzt haben, bevor er mit Spannung erwartet wurde Dezember 10 Titelverteidigung gegen Spitzenkandidaten Julian Williams im Galen Center in Los Angeles (SHOW TIME, 10 p.m. UND/7 p.m. PT).
Wer ist dein Boxheld??
Tommy Hearns ist einer meiner Lieblingskämpfer. Er versuchte immer, seine Zweifler zu widerlegen, und ich respektiere alles, was er durchgemacht hat. Mein Leben und Tommy Hearns’ Das Leben ist ähnlich. Wir sind beide groß, und er hatte einen legendären Trainer in Emanuel Steward, und ich habe einen, zu, in Ronnie Shields.
Tommy hatte einen guten Schlag und war ein feuriger Kämpfer. Viele Boxer denken, dass es einfach ist, mit großen Kämpfern zum Körper zu gehen, um uns niederzureißen. Aber es ist eine andere Geschichte, wenn sie mit Tommy da reinkommen, Das hat mich dazu gebracht, auf diese Weise mit ihm in Beziehung zu treten.
Es gab auch viel Substanz in Tommy Hearns. Man muss ein kluger Kämpfer sein, um den Unterschied zwischen Schlägerei und Boxen zu kennen, und wie Sie Ihre Reichweite nutzen.
Von allen Boxern in der Geschichte, Wen wünschst du, du hättest kämpfen können?, und wie hätte sich der Kampf abgespielt??
Im Weltergewicht und Junior Mittelgewicht zu sein, Ich würde gerne sehen, wie mein Stil mit einem Typen wie Sugar Ray Leonard mithalten kann. Ich weiß, dass er gegen Tommy Hearns gekämpft hat, aber ich glaube, ich besitze verschiedene Qualitäten, und ich würde gerne sehen, wie ich dagegen vorgehen würde [Leonard] zu seinem Besten.
Ich habe kurz zuvor mit Sugar Ray Leonard gesprochen Ich habe den Titel von Cornelius Bundrage gewonnen, und ich sagte ihm, ich sei der Neue “Killer” (unter Bezugnahme auf Hearns’ Spitzname).
Ich möchte nicht sagen, dass ich Sugar Ray Leonard geschlagen hätte, weil er ein großartiger Kämpfer ist und ich ihn nicht missachten möchte. Aber von jedem hätte ich kämpfen können, Ich würde meinen Stil gerne mit dem von Sugar Ray vergleichen.
Ich würde natürlich aus dem Kampf von Tommy Hearns mit Sugar Ray Leonard leihen. Jedes Mal, wenn ich diesen klassischen Kampf sehe, Ich stelle mir vor, Hearns zu sein.
Was ist das schwerste, das Sie jemals getroffen haben?, und wie hast du damit umgegangen??
Sie wissen, was verrückt ist? Es war nicht einmal ein Schlag; es war durch einen Kopfstoß, und es war tatsächlich in meinem letzten Kampf gegen Austin Trout. Irgendwo in diesen mittleren Runden, Wir stießen mit den Köpfen zusammen, und sein Kopf landete direkt auf der linken Seite meines Kinns und Ohrs.
Ich bin noch nie so hart von einem Schlag oder so getroffen worden, because I do a good job with keeping my hands up and with head movement and stuff like that. But against Trout, he threw a jab, and I stepped over and his head came crashing into my jawline.
He had no clue [that I was stunned], and I fought through it like a champion is supposed to. But that was the hardest shot I’ve taken since my pee-wee football days. I had to check myself to make sure I was good. It was just a shot that woke me up.
When training for a fight, what’s the one meal you miss the most?
It would have to be steak. I’m a filet mignon type of guy. But I have to give that up during training, because it’s one of those red meats that slows me down.
You’re known for being a gym rat. Do you have a favorite exercise?
Ich mag alle Übungen - alles, was herausfordernd ist. Aber wenn ich mich für einen entscheiden müsste, Mein Favorit wäre es, mit der Leichensack zu arbeiten [legendärer Trainer] Glaubensbekenntnisbrunnen. … Ich habe gesehen, wie Creed Fountain mit Evander Holyfield und vielen anderen Champions den Leichensack gemacht hat, So wird es zu einer meiner Lieblingsübungen.
Was ist mit einem Lieblingsschlag zum Werfen??
Einer meiner Favoriten ist mein linker Haken. Es ist nicht unbedingt für den Körper, Aber es ist einer der Schläge, mit denen ich aufgewachsen bin und die ich immer als einen meiner herausforderndsten Schläge empfunden habe. Ich werfe es sehr gerne, Ich bin Rechtshänder und Linkshänder.
Du meinst, du bist beidhändig?
Ja. Ich kann eigentlich mit beiden Händen schreiben. Ich wusste wirklich nie, was meine dominante Hand war, dass ich mit beiden Händen stark war. Ich werfe einen Fußball und schieße mit meiner rechten Hand einen Basketball.
Aber es ist verrückt und selbst für mich verwirrend. … In einem Kampf, Ich kann zu beiden Seiten wechseln. Ich bin in einer Südpfotenhaltung aufgewachsen und fühlte mich als Linkshänder wohler, aber dann fing ich an, von rechts zu kämpfen und fühlte mich als Rechtshänder wohler. Ich habe beide Seiten effektiv genutzt.
Beende diesen Satz: Wenn nicht zum Boxen, Ich würde …
… Wahrscheinlich ist er irgendwo ein gebildeter Geschäftsmann, der sich in der von mir gewählten Branche bewegt. Aber das Boxen hat mir das Leben gerettet.
Was ist das größte Missverständnis der Öffentlichkeit über Boxer??
Dass wir alle groß sind, wütende Jungs, die ihr Geld wild ausgeben und nicht ausgebildet sind. Aber sie sind alle falsch.
Hast du einen Lieblingsboxfilm??
Ich mag Boxfilme im Allgemeinen nicht wegen der falschen Schläge. Aber ein Film, den ich wirklich mochte, war Hands of Stein. Ich bin mit dem Zuschauen aufgewachsen Felsig Serie, das hat mir gefallen, zu. Aber Hands of Stein ist einer meiner Favoriten.
Ich mag wann [die Handlungen von Boxfilmen] in den Lebensstil einsteigen. Als Micky Ward seinen Film machte, Der Kämpfer, Über ihn kamen viele Dinge heraus, die die Leute nicht kennen. So bin ich eben. Es gibt viele Dinge, die die Leute nicht über mich wissen. Vielleicht ändert sich das, sobald ein Film über die Charlo-Zwillinge geschrieben wurde.
Bien Sur, Was wäre, wenn Hollywood einen Film über dich und deinen Bruder machen würde?, Jermell - welche Schauspieler würdest du gerne spielen??
Gute Frage. Erst einmal, Wir müssten Zwillinge mit sportlichen Fähigkeiten finden. Sie müssten identisch sein. Mein Zwillingsbruder und ich sehen uns ähnlich, aber benimm dich nicht gleich. Jetzt, it would be hard to find a good actor to portray both of us.
I did like how Usher played Sugar Ray Leonard, and how Will Smith portrayed Muhammad Ali, aber doch … I think we would have to get a set of twins.
Who is the one artist on your playlist that would surprise fight fans?
I grew up listening to Al Green. My dad was a big fan of soul music. I’m an old soul, because my grandfather and others kind of turned me on to a couple of Al Green songs. Johnnie Taylor, zu.
I always go back and reminisce about the old days and the old-school music. I was listening to some Al Green and Johnnie Taylor today.
Beende diesen Satz: People would be surprised to know that …
… I’ve been playing instruments and creating beats and engineering and producing since before I even became a boxer. Ich habe ein volles Aufnahmestudio in meinem Haus. Ich spiele Klavier und Gitarre. Ich mag elektronische Musik sehr.
In meiner Freizeit lese ich auch viel. Lesen und Musik.
Wenn Sie eine Sache in der Welt ändern könnten, was würde es sein?
Das ist eine schwierige Frage, weil es so viel gibt, dass ich mich ändern würde. … Ich denke, ich möchte, dass alle gleich sind. Es würde keine Ebenen geben oder eine Person wäre besser als die nächste Person - unabhängig von der Farbe Ihrer Haut.
Was steht auf Ihrer Bucket-Liste??
Sie wissen, was ich wirklich tun möchte? Diese Überlebenssache, bei der du in die Wildnis gehst und für die du überlebst 21 Tage. Wie darauf Nackt und ängstlich Show. Ich möchte einfach in die Wildnis gebracht werden und überleben wie diese Jungs, Ich mache mein eigenes Feuer und sehe, wie das ist. I think I could do it. I can last out there. I can survive anything.
I don’t like snakes and I don’t like mosquitos, but I’m not afraid of them. They could drop me off anywhere and I could survive.

SETTLEMENET REACHED BETWEEN LUCIAN BUTE & DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA ATHLETIC COMMISSION

Hinterlasse einen Kommentar
MONTREAL (November 26, 2016) – A settlement has been reached between Lucian Bute and the District of Columbia Athletic Commission, several months after an initial anti-doping test result was announcement regarding traces of Ostarin found in Bute’s urine samples this past May.
Following the World Boxing Council (WBC) super middleweight world title bout between defending champion Badou Jack and challenger Bute, which ended in a draw, a positive test result was announced to the general surprise of Bute.
Seitdem, jedoch, in-depth analyses has demonstrated beyond all doubt that this result was due to contamination of nutritional supplements, prescribed by Bute’s conditioning trainer and created by a laboratory in California.
All this information has been favorably received by the authorities of the Athletic Commission of the District of Columbia.
As a result of communications between the parties involved, an agreement was reached:
Lucian Bute voluntarily agrees to contribute $50,000 (US Dollar), within a period not exceeding 90 Tage, to the WBC Clean Boxing Program (CBP).

Lucian Bute also agrees that his boxer license from the Athletic Commission of the District of Columbia be suspended for a period of six months, dating back to May 6, 2016.
The athletic commission therefore agrees to reject the disputed case immediately with the compromise reached between the parties and does not in any way consider that this compromise constitutes an admission on the part of Lucian Bute of the alleged facts or circumstances.
Lucian Bute intends to pay his voluntary contribution to the WBC CBP without delay and as the six-month suspension period of his boxing license from the District of Columbia ended November 6, he may now box at the place and time of his choice right now. The case is now permanently closed.
“I am extremely happy that everything is now over,” former IBF world champion Bute said. “I would like to thank my family and my spouse, Helena, all members of my team, Christian Ganescu, the Grant brothers, Groupe Yvon Michel, mein Manager, Al Haymon, my lawyer, Howard Jacob, and my friends, fans and supporters who were many to support me and to encourage and trust me during these dark and painful hours of my life. I would also like to thank the members of the Athletic Committee of the District of Columbia and its Chairman, Herr. Adam Weers, for listening and understanding, as well as WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman for giving me the benefit of the doubt and keeping me in the rankings of the best super middleweight challengers,”
In spite of this difficult period, Bute has continued training and he is more determined than ever to take the road back to regaining his world title. Bute is ready to face anyone who will stand between him and his goals.
“I am surrounded by the best team to guide me, ” Bute concluded. “ich habe, more than ever, the enthusiasm and will to fight. I have a lot of years ahead of me and I cannot wait to get back into the ring in early 2017.”

Nearly a year later, Ralek returned to Japan for his second MMA fight and again was victorious, this time defeating Gahdzhiev Alavutdin with an armbar from the mount. These two bouts led to a highly anticipated matchup with Kazushi Sakuraba, where again the Los Angeles native left “The Land of the Rising Sun” with the victory. That was the last time Ralek would fight under MMA rules, until now. Ralek is the third son of Rorion, the nephew of Royce, Rickson, and Royler Gracie and received his black belt from Grand Master Helio Gracie. The Gracie Family is famous for putting Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu on the map around the globe.

 

Since joining the Bellator MMA roster, you would be hard-pressed to find a fighter who has been involved in more exciting matchups than Hisaki Kato. Nicknamed “The Japanese Mouseketeer,” the 34-year-old French-Japanese competitor has finished Joe Schilling on two separate occasions, and was involved in what many called a “Round of the Year” candidate during his lone Bellator MMA loss against Melvin Manhoef in 2015. Jetzt, Kato sets his sights on Gracie, looking to nullify the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu of his Jan. 21 Feind.

Richard Schaefer
Herzlichen Dank, and thank you to all the media for being on today’s call. It was an interesting weekend, but boxing goes on and boxing goes on in a big way here on Samstag, Dezember 10 as a SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING doubleheader with two toe-to-toe fights that will electrify the sport, and I’m really excited to be able to host and promote this card here from Galen Center in Los Angeles.
The fight we are discussing today is for sure going to be one of those potential Fight of the Year candidates, and I know these days those words are being used quite a bit, but I really feel these fighters are right for each other. This is a fight in one of the most stacked divisions in boxing. Before I introduce the two fighters, just some other things, the card will take place from the Galen Center at the USC Campus in Los Angeles.
The Galen Center is a first-class arena. It’s actually the newest indoor arena in and around Los Angeles. Fernsehen Berichterstattung wird an beginnen 10 p.m. UND/7 p.m. PT for those people who can’t make it to the Galen Center. The co-main event is really a main event in its own. It’s one of the most anticipated and asked for fights in another great weight class, the junior middleweight division where you have arguably two of the best, if not the two best fighters in that division against each other: Jermall Charlo defending his title against top-rated challenger Julian Williams.
This is a fight Julian Williams has been waiting for, Für eine lange Zeit, and it’s a battle of unbeaten up and coming stars in their prime. There’s going to be a terrific, non-televised card as part of this event, as well. So, those people that are going to be able to make it out to the Galen Center, they’re going to really be in for a treat. I’m going to tell you about some of those fights, which my co-promotor, Tom Brown from TGB, has put together and I want to thank Tom for a job very well done. These are greatly matched fights, and I’m excited and looking forward to seeing them.
Included on the undercard is junior welterweight title eliminator featuring unbeaten Sergey Lipinets, mit einem Rekord von 10-0, mit 8 KOs, taking on Australia’s Lenny Zappavigna with a record of 35-2 mit 25 KOs. Great match ups. They will also see a pair of undefeated prospects who are looking to cement their status as championship contenders. In the super welterweight division Erickson Lubin, wer ist 16-0, mit 11 KOs of Orlando, Fla., and junior lightweight Mario Barrios, mit einem Rekord von 16-0, mit 8 KOs out of San Antonio.
The card will also include an array of local talent from Los Angeles or the greater Los Angeles area, including Oxnard’s Hugo Centeno, Jr. mit einem Rekord von 24-1 mit 12 KOs, former title challenger Josesito Lopez with a 33-7 Rekord, mit 19 KOs and personally one of my favorites. He’s always there to give a fight, just an amazing warrior and I’m happy to see Josesito Lopez on this card. Then we also are going to see Abner Mares’ jüngerer Bruder, Adan Mares, wer hat eine aufzeichnung von 14-3. I’m looking forward to having him there as well. It really is a can’t-miss night, and for those people here in Southern California, please come and see this card. It’s going to be great fighters, great matchups.
The doors are open at 3:30 pm, and the fights begins shortly thereafter. Tickets for the live event are on sale now, and they start at $35, ja 35, what a steal. Students get a special $10 weg. There’s a $25 student ticket available as well, and they’re available at www.galentix.com.
Jetzt, the man who made is all happen and is not only a very close friend of mine but really a man with a passion for the sport of boxing, the Executive VP and General Manager, Showtime Sports, Stephen Espinoza.
Stephen Espinoza
This fight is one of the fights I’ve been most excited about on this year’s schedule. As many of you remember, this was a fight that was originally set for June and had to be rescheduled. It was such a strong fight that we didn’t want to lose that, and I know that required some sacrifice from both fighters, and we’re deeply appreciative for that. That they’re willing to wait shows what kind of guys both these guys are, as they’re looking for a challenge and neither one wanted to walk away from what, as Richard mentioned, could be one of the best fights of the year.
This is the fifth featherweight fight that SHOWTIME will be televising this year. It is one of the most talent, deep divisions, and we’re thrilled to have such a wealth of talent and thrilled to be focusing on it this year. It is a 50-50 fight between two fighters that are, in the consensus top six of the division supported by an incredibly strong undercard, and we are very happy and very proud to be ending the year on such a strong note. We look forward to Dezember 10, and I’ll turn it over back to Richard.
R. Schäfer
Recht, thank you very much Stephen. Jetzt, it is a privilege for me to introduce to you Abner Mares. Abner Mares, as you all know is certainly one of the greatest fighters at this time to come out of Mexico. He was born in Guadalajara, Mexiko. Er war ein 2004 Mexican Olympian and that is how long I’ve known him and how long I’ve been involved with his fights. He lives now and fights out of Downey, California and trains with one of the best trainers in his corner, Robert Garcia. If you look at his resume, it is as impressive as it comes. He is a former world champion at 118, 122 und 126 Pfund, has really fought everybody and from Ponce de Leon, from Oquendo, from Moreno, from Darchinyan and the list goes on and on.
He will be fighting in California for the 10th time in his career, including his last bout which was a terrific Fight of the Year candidate against Leo Santa Cruz. Abner Mares is the kind of fighter, who in all the fights, has never been in a boring fight because he knows how to entertain. He wants to give it his best, and he has the will to win. Here he goes, at this point in his career, for yet another world title and it is a pleasure now to turn it over to Abner who can talk a little bit about training camp, what this fight means to him and maybe give us some Thanksgiving thoughts as well. Abner.
Abner Mares
Definitiv, Richard. How you doing? I want to start out by thanking God. All you guys for making this possible, Richard, Stephen Espinoza and obviously, the great boxing fans out there who are always supporting and even the ones who are not there to support, they just give you a bad time, but you know at the end of the day, they support the sport in a way.
So, I’m really honored and privileged to be fighting Dezember 10 in my hometown in LA. It’s going to be a great fight against a great fighter, Jesus Cuellar, a puncher, a guy who has a lot of strength, a guy that has lots to prove. Like Richard has mentioned, I’m just really looking forward to this fight. As you guys know, I’ve never been in a boring fight. I always entertain. I find a way to give you guys explosive fights and this will be just that. It will be an exciting fight, like Richard mentioned, this is perfect for an entertaining fight and I’m going to give you just that.
An early Christmas present to everyone, hopefully a late birthday present for me, since it’s going to be a week after my birthday. It’s going to be great. You can’t miss it, like Richard mentioned; in this stage of my career, I think this is my second wind. I’m looking forward to showing you guys a different Abner and what you guys don’t know already. This is going to be a year since I started training with well-known coach Robert Garcia, a whole year we had to train and get to know each other, so you will see the difference. So with that said, I think this is a fight you can’t miss on SHOWTIME. You can’t miss live at the USC Galen Center.
This is a Fight of the Year to close the end of the year and I’m looking forward to that — not so much looking forward to Thanksgiving like Richard said because we will still be on a diet, we won’t be able to eat as much, but obviously spending time with the family being thankful for everything that God has given us. It’s been a blessing. Thank you all for tuning in and thank you all again. Ich kann nicht warten, December 10th to make history once again and become a four-time world champion.
Q
Abner, you mentioned the year with Robert Garcia. How has it transformed you? How has it changed you from who you were?
A. Mütter
I know once you get a new coach they tend to get a fight right away, and they tend to fight the next six to eight weeks, and you don’t see much of a difference. Warum? Because you only have that small period of time to train and get to know each other, and I just mentioned a whole year with Robert and not only a whole year with Robert, a whole year of getting ready for this fight against a southpaw and you guys know what type of coach Robert is. Not only does he bring education to your boxing skills but also that motivation, it’s always good to have that motivation knowing that you have one of the best in your corner. So, you will see a different Abner and I think the best way to answer your question is you will just see a more mature fighter in me.
Q
A lot of people who are looking at this fight are saying that dealing with Cuellar’s strength and power is going to be the most difficult thing for you. How do you get through that and what are your own thoughts?
A. Mütter
Once you get hit hard or anything that you can’t think of happens in the ring, I don’t think it’s based on your experiences, it’s more based on your willingness, your heart and the desire to continue. I think that comes from deep inside, and I think I have that. I think I’ve showed it in many fights. I’ve had difficult times in different fights, so I think it just comes from inside. You can’t teach that, but again, ja, experience has helped a lot to get you out of certain things but, schon wieder, I think this is going to be one of the smartest fights we’re going to be able to fight.
Q
How disappointed were you and how surprised were you that you would were not allowed to fight that particular bout in Brooklyn because of the location of the match?
A. Mütter
Bien Sur, it was difficult. It’s not the first time something like this has happened to me — not in the sense of me being injured or anything but a fight being cancelled. I’ve had fights being cancelled or postponed, years back so it’s nothing different. But I am a human being, I have feelings, offensichtlich, and I just felt sad at the moment because I love to fight.
Ja, I was disappointed, not so much in myself, just the situation, aber doch, schon wieder, I have to take people back. I’ve got them pretty much fighting this whole year. I was supposed to fight in March, that got postponed because of an injury and then it got postponed for June and then that June fight got postponed so here we are December 10th, and again it’s just a way of seeing that mental strength and that circle you have around you. You know my family kept me strong and those long talks with my advisor kept me going and again here we are and still healthy and we will continue to give you guys good fights.
Q
Abner, could you at all just explain the situation with the eye. For whatever reason, they have different rules in New York, but can you explain what that situation is with that eye and which eye is it?
A. Mütter
It’s like you said, different rules for different states. We know they’re stricter on that side. I think that tells you they’re stricter and then, offensichtlich, the issues they’re having at the moment and it’s nothing bad. It’s something that happened in 2008. I have been fighting since. I’ve been cleared in every state I’ve fought in, other than New York. I fight in California, I fight in Texas, I fight in Vegas. I fight in Philly, zu. I think there was a red flag for them because, offensichtlich, I had surgery done again in 2008 and they just didn’t want to take the risk, but again I think, like Richard, myself and my doctor said, wir sind gut zu gehen. We have been. I have the same risk. I don’t have it higher or less than any fighter out there. My surgery is done. I’m good and like any other fighter I have the same risk of getting one open in the ring, so there’s no risk higher of me getting one.
Q
Abner, which eye was it you had the surgery on back in ’08?
A. Mütter
It was in my left eye.
Q
Abner, do you have any concern whatsoever about rust?
A. Mütter
Gar nicht, you have to see it and look at it on the positive side. Offensichtlich, I haven’t been in the spotlight, no cameras around me, no lights, but I’ve been active. Seit März, I’ve been getting ready for the fight. Every single fight has been postponed the week of the fight, so I’ve practically done training camps for two fights. So, that does not worry me, but if it happens you will feel it in the ring, and it’s just a matter of adjusting to it. It wears off within one or two rounds and just getting the rhythm of the fight going. I think we’re safe and we’ll be good.
Q
Richard, when you started to go and work on this fight did you have any issues with Abner’s medical situation or were you were sort of like surprised it was postponed and then, when he went through the testing you were very satisfied that everything was okay? What was your take on the postponement because of New York?
R. Schäfer
Ich denke, zunächst, New York has other issues related to boxing to well. With the insurance requirement they had a very difficult year, New York, as it situates to what happened with all the ins and outs of the commission and I think anybody in boxing or anybody would agree it’s a bit of a mess out there. Then you look at California. I think California is one of the best run if, offen, not the best-run commissions and so of course when the fight was postponed or cancelled or whatever in New York, I not only talked to Abner and his wife. They were both in my office and I talked to them, but I asked Abner for permission to actually talk directly with his attorney and with his doctor, who is one of the most recognized surgeons and specialists as it relates to eyes and eye injuries in the world.
When I talked to the doctor I asked him straight out, is Abner okay? He said yes. I asked him is Abner at a higher risk than any fighter who enters the ring and he said absolutely not and that gave me the confidence to go forward and promote this fight. I had the same conversations with the California Commission and their medical board was satisfied with their requirements to make sure Abner was okay because of course if it’s the commission or anyone involved in this fight, first and foremost is fighter safety and Al Haymon, Abner’s advisor, asked me numerous times, I mean numerous times, and he said look if we’re going to do this fight, make sure Abner is okay and make sure he is absolutely okay, and I feel confident that I did that and so we’re ready to go.
R. Schäfer
Okay, großartig. We’re going to have Jesus make some comment and then opening up for both fighters to answer any questions.
It’s a pleasure for me to introduce to you the current WBA Featherweight World Champion with a record of 28-1 mit 21 Knockouts. He’s one of those other tough, hard hitting, fighters coming out of Argentina, in this case Buenos Aries and he’s in his first fight under legendary coach Freddie Roach, so you’re going to have an interesting matchup there also with Robert Garcia’s trained fighter, Abner Mares, against a Freddie Roach trained fighter Jesus Cuellar and you know those two guys, Roach and Garcia are very competitive, and so I think that adds some extra spice to the matchup. Cuellar won his world title in 2013 and has gone to defend it five times since then, including victories over Rico Ramos, Vic Darchinyan and Juan Manuel Lopez. It is a pleasure now to introduce Jesus Cuellar.
Jesus Cuellar
I feel very good. We’ve had a great training camp with Freddie and my entire team. I have been concentrating on this matchup and looking forward to the fight with Abner.
R. Schäfer
Okay, very good so let’s open it back up to questions now from the media. Any more questions for Abner or Jesus Cuellar please.
Q
What did that fight against Santa Cruz tell you about what you have left to offer in boxing?
A. Mütter
I think that part itself tells you what I have left. Ich habe alles gegeben. I think it was a close fight and it lets you know I have a lot left. I gave a hell of a fight and it’s just different styles. It didn’t really tell me anything other than that I’m ready for anything. It was a great fight against a great fighter and that’s it.
Q
Abner, without giving away any strategy or anything, what do think are some of the biggest improvements you’ve made working with Robert Garcia?
A. Mütter
Wow. So, many but I think that number one is definitely on my basic punches, the one, zwei, hook, three-punch combination. I think we perfected those plus sitting down more, turning more on my punches. It’s crazy how you might think you’re throwing your punches good, and you’re not this whole time. So, I think I’ve learned how to turn more on my punches, how to sit better on my punches and I think my power is coming out really good. My sparring partner has helped me and I think you will see improvement in my power and my defense.
Q
I know he probably doesn’t speak to you about this much, but can you tell me what it would mean for you, because as Richard mentioned before, there’s an obvious rivalry between Robert and Freddie. What would it mean for you to win one for him?
A. Mütter
Ja, like you said we don’t talk about that. It has nothing to do with Freddie Roach. I think it’s a fight between a fighter and myself and just winning the fight for us as a team will mean the world to us. We have no desire on throwing this in anyone’s face. It’s just a win, and there’s no rivalry.
Q
Abner, when you think back about your journey and the opportunities you’ve had in boxing, what are you most grateful for? What are some of the things you’re most grateful for this month, in advance of Thanksgiving?
A. Mütter
Erste, all of the great people I have around me. My circle, meine Freunde, the opportunities I’ve had, and just the opportunity to be fighting for another world title before the end of the year is something I’m really grateful and then I thank, offensichtlich, the great team, SHOW TIME, my advisor and then everyone for this opportunity. I’m really looking forward to making myself and my family proud for everything overall. Wie du gesagt hast, I came from nothing to something and there is something I’m trying to do in this sport and that’s to just try and be an example for my kids and for the young kids growing up that anything is possible.
Q
Jesus, how long have you been with Freddie Roach so far in camp and how has that made a difference in your style and your confidence going into this fight?
J. Cuellar
I’ve definitely learned a lot. I feel extremely improved. We have a lot of confidence heading into this fight. I want to thank God for the all the blessings I’ve had. It’s been nice to go back to Argentina, but this was a great opportunity to come up with Freddie and get ready for December 10th.
Q
Do you think that your power and your size advantage make you different from southpaws Abner has faced in any way? What do feel separates you from those southpaws and or anyone else that Abner has faced?
J. Cuellar
I know that I have the size advantage and I’m the bigger fighter but I certainly cannot rely on that. I realize this is going to be a difficult matchup, and I have to bring my best because Abner is a heck of a talent.
Q
What are you thankful for in advance of Thanksgiving?
J. Cuellar
I’m relaxed, I’m calm and I’m thankful that I’m going to spend the time with my family and friends.
Q
Im vergangenen Samstag we saw a very controversial decision with Ward and Kovalev. Abner, I’ll begin with you, when you see a very controversial decision like that, als Boxer, does it bother you the fact that we’re still seeing controversy when it comes to the judges and does that motivate you at all to try to go for the knockout, not to leave it in the judges hands?
A. Mütter
Es tut mir leid, I’m not going to lie. I did not watch the fight. I wasn’t able to see the fight, because I had a turkey drive the following day am Sonntag, so I was getting ready for that, but obviously I saw the tweets, I saw everything. I heard about it, and I heard it was a really controversial decision, but I think there’s no judges like the people. I think those are the ones that you have to prove something to, not so much the actual judges in the ring.
Obwohl, I think it’s divided. Ich denke 50 percent think Kovalec won and another 50 percent think Ward won. Coming from the ground and getting back up and just winning the fight speaks a lot for him. So, again I did not watch the fight. I can’t go into detail, and for myself you just take that and put it on my fight. I don’t have to do anything to impress the judges. I think just my boxing itself. I think we have professionals up there, and they’re going to do their jobs, so I don’t even have to think about that or put that in my head that I have to do something different just to impress the judges. Unterlassen Sie, I’m going to go in there and just do my job.
Q
You mentioned before, after your last fight was cancelled, that you spoke with Al Haymon and he gave you some advice and counsel to lift your spirits. What advice did he give you after your last fight was cancelled?
A. Mütter
Just having him as a friend, as an advisor, just being positive, him saying Abner ‘we’re in this together.’ Just hearing those words, ‘we’re in this together, we’re going to get through it, we’re going to get you a fight soon. Do not worry.’ That did it all. Ich war, offensichtlich, I was still worried but it calmed me down. It calmed me down and like I said here we are a couple of weeks away and, schon wieder, I’m really thankful for my team.
Q
Jesus, everyone who saw you at the news conference was talking about how big you were. Is weight going to be a problem for this fight and traditionally have you ever had any weight difficulties?
J. Cuellar
Unterlassen Sie, I’ve never had any issues when it comes to weight and I’m very thankful again for the training camp we’ve had and continue to have and I’m ready for the fight.
Q
How much do you weigh right now?
J. Cuellar
130.
Q
Jesus, why did you want to fight Abner specifically?
J. Cuellar
Bien Sur, Abner is a fantastic fighter and you have to beat the best in the world to be the best. Now we just have to get ready for December 10th in Los Angeles.
R. Schäfer
Okay, großartig. I want to thank all of the media members again. I know that many of you from the East Coast are planning on being here for this fight. I just want to say, I know you guys are going to be treated to a very special night. I am going to host a spectacular media dinner am Freitag night as well. This is my first fight back, and I really couldn’t have asked for a better doubleheader with Cuellar and Abner Mares and Charlo and Williams and all the other fights I mentioned before. So, I’m really excited about the fights, but I’m really excited to see you guys from the East Coast as well and appreciate the relationship that we have and look forward to working with you. I’ll see you in a couple of weeks and Happy Thanksgiving to all of you and all of your families. Herzlichen Dank.
