No es que Jermall Charlo sea un introvertido o alguien que no pueda articular sus pensamientos. Es solo que ser un vociferante, el showman mírame no es parte del maquillaje del campeón de las 154 libras.
Por eso, pocas personas aparte del hermano gemelo (y compañero campeón de 154 libras) Jermell Charlo saben que Jermall Charlo es un culto, ingeniero / productor musical en ciernes que ama un buen bistec y puede firmar su nombre con cualquier mano.
Aprendimos todo esto y más cuando nos sentamos recientemente con Jermall Charlo antes de su tan esperado Diciembre 10 defensa del título contra el contendiente mejor clasificado Julian Williams en el Galen Center de Los Ángeles (TIEMPO DE LA FUNCION, 10 p.m. Y/7 p.m. PT).
¿Quién es tu héroe del boxeo??
Tommy Hearns es uno de mis luchadores favoritos. Siempre estaba tratando de refutar a sus escépticos, y respeto todo lo que ha pasado. Mi vida y Tommy Hearns’ la vida es similar. Los dos somos altos, y tenía un entrenador legendario en Emanuel Steward, y yo tengo uno, demasiado, en Ronnie Shields.
Tommy tuvo un buen jab y era un luchador enérgico. Muchos boxeadores piensan que es fácil ir al cuerpo en peleadores altos para derribarnos. Pero es una historia diferente cuando entran con Tommy, así que eso me ha hecho relacionarme con él de esa manera.
También había mucha sustancia en Tommy Hearns. Tienes que ser un luchador inteligente para saber la diferencia entre pelear y boxear, y cómo usar tu estufa.
De todos los boxeadores de la historia, ¿Con quién te gustaría haber luchado?, y como hubiera sido la pelea?
Estar en el rango de peso welter y mediano junior, Me gustaría ver cómo mi estilo se compararía con un tipo como Sugar Ray Leonard.. Sé que luchó contra Tommy Hearns, pero creo que poseo algunas cualidades diferentes, y me gustaria ver como lo hago contra [Leonard] en su mejor momento.
Hablé con Sugar Ray Leonard justo antes Gané el título de Cornelius Bundrage, y le dije que yo era el nuevo “Sicario” (refiriéndose a Hearns’ apodo).
No quiero decir que hubiera vencido a Sugar Ray Leonard, porque es un gran luchador y no querría faltarle el respeto. Pero de cualquiera con quien podría haber peleado, Me encantaría comparar mi estilo con el de Sugar Ray..
Por supuesto, tomaría prestado de la pelea de Tommy Hearns con Sugar Ray Leonard. Cada vez que veo esa pelea clásica, Me imagino siendo Hearns.
¿Qué es lo más duro que te han golpeado?, y como lo manejaste?
Sabes lo que es una locura? Ni siquiera fue por un puñetazo; fue por un cabezazo, y fue en mi última pelea contra Austin Trout. En algún lugar de esas rondas intermedias, chocamos cabezas, y su cabeza aterrizó justo en el lado izquierdo de mi barbilla y oreja..
No me ha golpeado con tanta fuerza ningún puñetazo ni nada, porque hago un buen trabajo manteniendo las manos en alto y con el movimiento de la cabeza y cosas así. Pero contra Trout, lanzó un jab, y me acerqué y su cabeza se estrelló contra mi mandíbula.
No tenía ni idea [que estaba aturdido], y luché a través de él como se supone que un campeón. Pero ese fue el golpe más difícil que tomé desde mis días de fútbol pipí. Tuve que controlarme para asegurarme de que estaba bien. Fue solo un disparo que me despertó.
Al entrenar para una pelea, ¿Cuál es la comida que más extrañas??
Tendría que ser bistec. Soy un tipo de filet mignon. Pero tengo que renunciar a eso durante el entrenamiento., porque es una de esas carnes rojas que me frena.
Eres conocido por ser una rata de gimnasio. ¿Tienes un ejercicio favorito??
Me gustan todos los ejercicios, cualquier cosa que sea desafiante. Pero si tuviera que elegir uno, mi favorito sería trabajar la bolsa para cadáveres con [entrenador legendario] Fuente Creed. … He visto a Creed Fountain hacer la bolsa para cadáveres con Evander Holyfield y muchos otros campeones, así que se ha convertido en uno de mis ejercicios favoritos.
¿Qué tal un golpe favorito para lanzar??
Uno de mis favoritos es mi gancho de izquierda.. No es necesariamente para el cuerpo, pero es uno de los golpes que crecí lanzando y siempre sentí que era uno de mis golpes más desafiantes. Me siento muy cómodo tirándolo, siendo que soy diestro y zurdo.
Quieres decir que eres ambidiestro?
Sí. De hecho puedo escribir con ambas manos. Realmente nunca supe cuál era mi mano dominante, siendo que yo era fuerte con ambas manos. Lanzo una pelota de fútbol y tiro una pelota de baloncesto con mi mano derecha.
Pero es una locura y un poco confuso incluso para mí. … En una pelea, Puedo cambiar a cualquier lado. Crecí en una postura de zurdo y me sentía más cómodo como zurdo, pero luego comencé a pelear desde el lado derecho y me sentí más cómodo como diestro. He usado ambos lados con eficacia.
Termina esta oración: Si no fuera por el boxeo, Lo haría …
… Probablemente sea un hombre de negocios educado en algún lugar haciendo movimientos en cualquier industria que elija. Pero el boxeo me ha salvado la vida.
¿Cuál es el mayor error del público sobre los boxeadores??
Que todos somos grandes, tipos enojados que gastan su dinero a lo loco y no están educados. Pero están todos mal.
¿Tienes una película de boxeo favorita??
Generalmente no me gustan las películas de boxeo por los golpes falsos. Pero una película que realmente me gustó fue Manos de Piedra. Crecí viendo el Rocoso serie, entonces me gustó eso, demasiado. Pero Manos de Piedra es uno de mis favoritos.
me gusta cuando [las tramas de las películas de boxeo] entrar en el estilo de vida. Cuando Micky Ward hizo su película, El luchador, salieron muchas cosas sobre él que la gente no sabe. Asi es como soy. Hay muchas cosas que la gente no sabe sobre mí.. Quizás eso cambie una vez que se escriba una película sobre los gemelos Charlo.
Bien, ¿Y si Hollywood hiciera una película sobre ti y tu hermano?, Jermell-¿qué actores querrías interpretarlos a ustedes dos?
Buena pregunta. En primer lugar, tendríamos que encontrar gemelos con habilidad atlética. Tendrían que ser idénticos. Mi hermano gemelo y yo nos parecemos, pero no actúes igual. Ahora mismo, Sería difícil encontrar un buen actor para retratarnos a los dos..
Me gustó cómo Usher interpretó a Sugar Ray Leonard, y cómo Will Smith interpretó a Muhammad Ali, pero … Creo que tendríamos que tener un par de gemelos.
¿Quién es el artista en tu lista de reproducción que sorprendería a los fanáticos de las peleas??
Crecí escuchando a Al Green. Mi papá era un gran fanático de la música soul.. Soy un alma vieja, porque mi abuelo y otros me engancharon con un par de canciones de Al Green. Johnnie Taylor, demasiado.
Siempre regreso y recuerdo los viejos tiempos y la música de la vieja escuela.. Hoy estaba escuchando algo de Al Green y Johnnie Taylor.
Termina esta oración: La gente se sorprendería al saber que …
… He estado tocando instrumentos y creando ritmos e ingeniería y produciendo desde antes de convertirme en boxeador.. Tengo un estudio de grabación completo dentro de mi casa. Toco el piano y la guitarra. Me encanta la música electrónica.
También leo mucho durante mi tiempo libre. Lectura y musica.
Si pudieras cambiar una cosa en el mundo, Qué podría ser?
Esa es una pregunta difícil, porque hay tanto que cambiaria. … Supongo que me gustaría que todos fueran iguales. No habría niveles o una persona sería mejor que la siguiente, sin importar el color de tu piel..
¿Qué hay en tu lista de deseos??
Sabes lo que realmente quiero hacer? Esa cosa de supervivencia en la que vas a la naturaleza y sobrevives por 21 día. Como en eso Desnudo y asustado show. Solo quiero que me dejen en el desierto e ir y sobrevivir como lo hacen esos tipos, creando mi propio fuego y viendo cómo es eso. Creo que podría hacerlo. Puedo durar ahí fuera. Puedo sobrevivir a cualquier cosa.
No me gustan las serpientes y no me gustan los mosquitos, pero no les tengo miedo. Podrían dejarme en cualquier lugar y podría sobrevivir.

A native of Derby, Kansas, Rickles recently delivered a brutal first round knockout in his co-main clash with Bobby Cooper at "Bellator 150: Kongo vs. Spartan.” The 27-year-old Rickels now prepares for Aaron Derrow, who enters the bout undefeated since joining Bellator MMA in 2014.

A native of Blue Springs, Misuri, Derrow has made an immediate impact on the promotion, collecting victories in each of his first two fights under the Bellator MMA umbrella.

SETTLEMENET REACHED BETWEEN LUCIAN BUTE & DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA ATHLETIC COMMISSION

Deja un comentario
MONTREAL (Noviembre 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 (CMB) super middleweight world title bout between defending champion Badou Jack and challenger Bute, que terminó en empate, a positive test result was announced to the general surprise of Bute.
Desde entonces, sin embargo, 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 (Dólar estadounidense), within a period not exceeding 90 día, 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, mi 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, Sr. 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. “Tengo, Más que nunca, 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.”

Frampton and Santa Cruz are set to clash in a rematch of their July “Fight of the Year” candidate that saw tremendous back-and-forth action throughout the 12-round fight that ended in a majority decision for the Irish fighter. Frampton drew significant Irish support in Brooklyn and will now bring his legion of fans to Las Vegas for the first time in an arena where Santa Cruz has fought six times. Just a few hours from Santa Cruz’s home of Los Angeles, the electric atmosphere is sure to be buoyed by two men who combined to land 402 power shots out of the 497 punches landed in their first fight.

 

To kick off the promotion, Frampton and Santa Cruz will be holding open-to-the-public press conferences in Belfast, Irlanda del Norte en Martes, Noviembre. 29 y en Los Angeles en Jueves, Diciembre. 1 with more details to be announced shortly.

 

“The rematch is the fight we wanted,", Dijo Frampton. “I enjoyed our first fight in New York. The atmosphere was fantastic and the fight lived up to the hype. En 28 de enero I will be better and I will win more convincingly. I know the way Leo fights, he throws a lot of punches and he is brave, but his style suits me. It has always been a dream of mine to headline in Las Vegas and I cannot wait to get out there and put on a great performance for the American boxing fans and the travelling support from Ireland and the UK.”

 

“From the moment our last fight ended, when the decision came and I lost the fight, I knew my only goal was to get my belt back,” said Santa Cruz. “When I sat in the locker room afterward, I felt more motivated than ever to get back in the gym. All I’ve thought about since the fight was this rematch. There won’t be any distractions in this camp. I’ll be heading into the fight with a better game plan. I’m putting in 100 percent in training and I’m excited to get in the ring on January 28 to get my belt back.”

 

“This is the most important fight of my career,” said Zlaticanin. “I expect a tough and ruthless fight. I know how good Mikey Garcia is, but I also know how good I am. The fight is not going to reach the final bell; one of us will be knocked out, and I believe it will be Mikey. Garcia has never fought a good and strong fighter like me before. He will feel my power on Enero 28.”

 

“I’m very happy and excited for my upcoming fight,"Dijo García. “This is a chance to claim a third world title in my third division. Zlaticanin is tough, strong and dangerous but I feel confident in my abilities. I’m planning on giving the fans in Las Vegas a great show. 2017 will be a great year for me and it all starts Enero 28!"

 

“Frampton-Santa Cruz II is truly the best that boxing has to offer, an immediate rematch of a leading Fight of the Year candidate between the two top-rated fighters in the division,"Dijo Stephen Espinoza, Vicepresidente Ejecutivo & Gerente General, SHOWTIME Sports. “And Zlaticanin vs. Garcia is a ‘50/50’ fight between two undefeated champions and a main event in its own right. La Jan. 28 telecast is the cornerstone of four upcoming SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING presentations that feature the best matchups in boxing’s deepest divisions. Events like this one are proof that SHOWTIME delivers the strongest boxing line up of any network in the sport today.”

“I am looking forward to a terrific event in Las Vegas,” said Barry McGuigan of Cyclone Promotions, a former world champion and Hall of Famer. “The first fight between Carl Frampton and Leo Santa Cruz was sensational and I truly believe that the rematch will be even better. I’m convinced that Carl will win the rematch more convincingly and beating someone like Leo Santa Cruz a second time will define Carl as true great of Irish boxing. I know everyone at Cyclone Promotions is proud to deliver a great night of boxing at MGM Grand where there will be a full action packed card of championship fights.”

 

“It’s a thrill to promote another fantastic night of boxing featuring two evenly matched world championship showdowns,” said Richard Schaefer, Presidente y CEO de Ringstar Sports. “These are the kinds of cards that Ringstar is all about. Frampton and Santa Cruz put on a memorable performance in July and battled from the opening bell. It was Frampton who took home the belt last time, but I expect that Leo will train to be 100 percent and do everything in his power to get his title back. I believe this could be an even better fight than the first one. We also have Mikey Garcia, who shook off the ring rust in July and will challenge the most dangerous lightweight champion in the world, Dejan Zlaticanin, en el evento co-estelar. This is a fight that looks destined to end by knockout. The perfect stage for this great night of action is the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas and I anticipate a huge crowd on hand to support these outstanding fighters.”

 

“The first fight between Frampton and Santa Cruz was action packed from start to finish and I guarantee the rematch will be the same,”Dijo Tom Brown, Presidente de Promociones TGB. “Along with the Zlaticanin-Garcia bout, as they battle for a world title, you have another can’t miss night of boxing from MGM Grand live on SHOWTIME.”

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 en 2015. Ahora, Kato sets his sights on Gracie, looking to nullify the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu of his Jan. 21 enemigo.

Richard Schaefer
Muchas gracias, 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 Sábado, Diciembre 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. La cobertura televisada comenzará a las 10 p.m. Y/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, por mucho tiempo, 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, también. Así, 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, con un registro de 10-0, con 8 KOs, taking on Australia’s Lenny Zappavigna with a record of 35-2 con 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, que es 16-0, con 11 KOs of Orlando, Fla., and junior lightweight Mario Barrios, con un registro de 16-0, con 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. con un registro de 24-1 con 12 KOs, former title challenger Josesito Lopez with a 33-7 registro, con 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’ hermano más joven, Adan Mares, que tiene un registro de 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, sí 35, what a steal. Students get a special $10 apagado. There’s a $25 student ticket available as well, y están disponibles en www.galentix.com.
Ahora, 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 Diciembre 10, and I’ll turn it over back to Richard.
R. Schaefer
Derecho, thank you very much Stephen. Ahora, 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, México. Él era un 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 García. If you look at his resume, it is as impressive as it comes. He is a former world champion at 118, 122 y 126 libra, 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
Sin Duda, Ricardo. How you doing? I want to start out by thanking God. All you guys for making this possible, Ricardo, 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.
Así, I’m really honored and privileged to be fighting Diciembre 10 in my hometown in LA. It’s going to be a great fight against a great fighter, Jesús 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. No puedo esperar a que 10 de diciembre 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?
La. Madres
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. ¿Por qué? 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. Así, 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?
La. Madres
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, sí, experience has helped a lot to get you out of certain things but, de nuevo, 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?
La. Madres
Bien, 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, obviamente, and I just felt sad at the moment because I love to fight.
Sí, I was disappointed, not so much in myself, just the situation, pero, de nuevo, 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 10 de diciembre, 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?
La. Madres
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, obviamente, 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, demasiado. I think there was a red flag for them because, obviamente, 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, somos buenos para ir. 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?
La. Madres
It was in my left eye.
Q
Abner, do you have any concern whatsoever about rust?
La. Madres
Para nada, you have to see it and look at it on the positive side. Obviamente, I haven’t been in the spotlight, no cameras around me, no lights, but I’ve been active. Desde marzo, 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. Así, 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
Ricardo, 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. Schaefer
Yo creo que, ante todo, New York has other issues related to boxing to well. With the insurance requirement they had a very difficult year, Nueva 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, francamente, 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. Schaefer
Bueno, gran. 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 con 21 nocauts. 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.
Jesús 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. Schaefer
Bueno, 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?
La. Madres
I think that part itself tells you what I have left. Le di todo de mí. 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?
La. Madres
Guau. Así, many but I think that number one is definitely on my basic punches, the one, dos, 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. Así, 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?
La. Madres
Sí, 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?
La. Madres
Primero, all of the great people I have around me. My circle, mis amigos, 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, obviamente, the great team, TIEMPO DE LA FUNCION, my advisor and then everyone for this opportunity. I’m really looking forward to making myself and my family proud for everything overall. Como dijiste, 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
Jesús, 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 10 de diciembre.
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
Estoy relajado, I’m calm and I’m thankful that I’m going to spend the time with my family and friends.
Q
Este pasado Sábado 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, como boxeador, 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?
La. Madres
Lo siento, 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 el domingo, 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.
Aunque, I think it’s divided. Yo creo que 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. Así, 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. No, 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?
La. Madres
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. Yo era, obviamente, 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, de nuevo, I’m really thankful for my team.
Q
Jesús, 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
No, 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
Jesús, why did you want to fight Abner specifically?
J. Cuellar
Bien, 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 10 de diciembre in Los Angeles.
R. Schaefer
Bueno, gran. 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 el viernes 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. Así, 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. Muchas gracias.
