Leo Wilson / Premier Champions de boxe
Il est pas Jermall Charlo est un introverti ou quelqu'un qui ne peut pas exprimer ses pensées. Il est juste qu'être un véhément, chercher au-me showman ne fait pas partie de maquillage du champion des 154 livres.
À cause de cela, peu de gens de côté de frère jumeau (et son compatriote 154 livres tenant du titre) Jermell Charlo sont conscients que Jermall Charlo est un bien lu, producteur de musique en herbe / ingénieur qui aime un beau steak et peut signer son nom avec les deux mains.
Nous avons appris tout cela et plus récemment quand nous nous sommes assis vers le bas avec Jermall Charlo en avance sur son très attendu Décembre 10 défense de son titre contre le top-classé Julian Williams au Centre Galen à Los Angeles (AFFICHER L'HEURE, 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT).
Qui est votre héros de la boxe?
Tommy Hearns est l'un de mes combattants préférés. Il essayait toujours de réfuter ses détracteurs, et je respecte tout ce qu'il a vécu. Ma vie et Tommy Hearns’ la vie sont similaires. Nous sommes tous les deux grands, et il avait un entraîneur légendaire Emanuel Steward, et j'ai une, trop, Ronnie Shields à.
Tommy avait un bon jab et était un combattant longiligne. Beaucoup de boxeurs pensent qu'il est facile d'aller au corps sur les combattants de haut pour nous briser. Mais il est une autre histoire quand ils là-bas avec Tommy, de sorte que m'a fait de lui raconter de cette façon.
Il y avait aussi beaucoup de substance dans Tommy Hearns. Vous devez être un combattant intelligent pour savoir la différence entre la boxe et querelleuse, et comment utiliser votre gamme.
De tous les boxeurs de l'histoire, qui voulez-vous que vous auriez pu combattre, et comment aurait joué le combat sur?
Être dans la mi-moyens et la gamme de poids moyen junior, Je voudrais voir comment mon style correspondrait contre un gars comme Sugar Ray Leonard. Je sais qu'il a combattu Tommy Hearns, mais je pense que je possède des qualités différentes, et je voudrais voir comment je ferais contre [Leonard] à son meilleur.
J'ai parlé à Sugar Ray Leonard juste avant J'ai gagné le titre de Cornelius Bundrage, et je lui ai dit que j'étais nouveau “Hitman” (se référant à Hearns’ surnom).
Je ne veux pas dire que je l'aurais battu Sugar Ray Leonard, parce qu'il est un grand combattant et je ne voudrais pas lui manquer de respect. Mais de tout le monde que je pouvais me battre, J'aimerais correspondre à mon style contre Sugar Ray de.
Je bien sûr emprunter à la lutte Tommy Hearns avec Sugar Ray Leonard. Chaque fois que je regarde ce combat classique, Je me vois être Hearns.
Ce qui est le plus dur que vous avez jamais été touché, et comment vous les avez-vous avec elle?
Vous savez ce qui est fou? Ce ne fut pas même par un coup de poing; ce fut par un coup de tête, et il était en fait dans mon dernier combat contre Austin Trout. Quelque part dans les étapes intermédiaires, nous ont affronté la tête, et sa tête a atterri à droite sur je crois que le côté gauche de mon menton et de l'oreille.
Je n'ai pas frappé que par un éventuel coup de poing ou quoi que ce soit, parce que je fais un bon travail à garder mes mains et avec le mouvement de la tête et des trucs comme ça. Mais contre la truite, il a jeté un coup, et j'enjambai et sa tête est désintégré dans mon jawline.
Il n'a eu aucun indice [que j'étais stupéfait], et je me suis battu à travers elle comme un champion est censé. Mais ce fut le plus dur coup j'ai pris depuis mes jours pee-wee de football. Je devais vérifier moi-même pour vous assurer que j'étais bon. Il était juste un coup de feu qui m'a réveillé.
Lors de la formation pour un combat, ce qui est le seul repas que vous manque le plus?
Il devrait être le steak. Je suis un filet type de gars mignon. Mais je dois renoncer à cela pendant la formation, car il est l'un de ces viandes rouges qui me ralentit.
Vous êtes connu pour être un rat de gymnase. Avez-vous un exercice favori?
J'aime tous les exercices, tout ce qui est difficile. Mais si je devais choisir un, mon préféré travaillerait le sac de corps [légendaire entraîneur] Creed Fontaine. … Je l'ai regardé faire le Credo Fontaine sac mortuaire avec Evander Holyfield et beaucoup d'autres champions, il est donc devenu une sorte d'un de mes exercices préférés.
Qu'en est-il un coup de poing favori pour jeter?
Un de mes favoris est mon crochet gauche. Ce n'est pas nécessairement au corps, mais il est l'un des coups de poing que je grandi jeter et nous sommes toujours sentis était l'un de mes coups les plus difficiles. Je suis très à l'aise de le jeter, être que je suis droitier et gaucher.
Vous voulez dire que vous êtes ambidextre?
Oui. Je peux écrire en fait avec les deux mains. Je vraiment ne savais pas ce que ma main dominante était, être que j'étais fort avec les deux mains. Je jette un ballon de football et de tirer un ballon de basket avec ma main droite.
Mais il est fou et assez confus à moi-même. … Dans un combat, Je peux passer de chaque côté. J'ai grandi dans une position gaucher et se sentir plus à l'aise en virage à gauche, mais j'ai commencé à se battre du côté droitier et se sentir plus à l'aise comme le lanceur droitier. Je l'ai utilisé deux côtés efficacement.
Terminer cette phrase: Sinon pour la boxe, Je voudrais …
… probablement un homme d'affaires instruit faire quelque part se déplace dans l'industrie selon que j'ai choisi. Mais la boxe a sauvé ma vie.
Ce qui est le plus grand malentendu à propos de boxeurs du public?
Que nous sommes tous les grands, les gars en colère qui dépensent leur argent d'une manière extravagante et ne sont pas instruits. Mais ils sont tout faux.
Avez-vous un film de boxe préféré?
Généralement, je n'aime pas les films de boxe à cause des coups de poing faux. Mais un film que j'ai vraiment aimé était Hands of Stone. J'ai grandi en regardant le Rocheux série, donc j'aimé que, trop. Mais Hands of Stone est l'un de mes favoris.
J'aime quand [les parcelles de films de boxe] entrer dans le mode de vie. Lorsque Micky Ward a fait son film, Le combattant, beaucoup de choses est sorti de lui que les gens ne savent pas. Voilà comment je suis. Il y a beaucoup de choses que les gens ne connaissent pas de moi. Peut-être que cela changera une fois qu'il ya un film écrit sur les jumeaux Charlo.
Bien, si Hollywood a fait un film sur toi et ton frère, Jermell-ce que les acteurs voudriez-vous que vous jouez deux?
Bonne question. Tout d'abord, nous aurions dû trouver des jumeaux avec capacité athlétique. Ils avaient doivent être identiques. Mon frère jumeau et moi ressemblent, mais ne pas agir aussi bien. Maintenant, il serait difficile de trouver un bon acteur pour dépeindre tous les deux.
Je l'ai fait comme la façon dont Usher a joué Sugar Ray Leonard, et comment Will Smith dépeint Muhammad Ali, mais … Je pense que nous devrions obtenir un ensemble de jumeaux.
Qui est le seul artiste sur votre playlist qui surprendrait les fans de combat?
J'ai grandi en écoutant Al Green. Mon père était un grand fan de la musique soul. Je suis une vieille âme, parce que mon grand-père et d'autres types de moi se sont à quelques chansons Al Green. Johnnie Taylor, trop.
Je vais toujours revenir et de se rappeler les vieux jours et la musique ancienne école. J'écoutais certains Al Green et Johnnie Taylor aujourd'hui.
Terminer cette phrase: Les gens seraient surpris de savoir que …
… Je joue des instruments et la création de rythmes et d'ingénierie et de production depuis avant même devenu un boxeur. J'ai un studio d'enregistrement complet à l'intérieur de ma maison. Je joue du piano et de la guitare. Je suis vraiment dans la musique électronique.
Je fais aussi beaucoup de lecture pendant mon temps libre. Lecture et musique.
Si vous pouviez changer une chose dans le monde, Qu'est ce que ça serait?
C'est une question difficile, parce qu'il ya tellement de choses que je changerais. … Je suppose que je veux que chacun soit égal. Il n'y aurait pas de niveau ou d'une personne qui est mieux que la personne suivante, peu importe la couleur de votre peau.
Ce qui est sur votre liste de seau?
Tu sais ce que je veux vraiment faire? Cette chose de survie où vous allez dans le désert et survivre 21 journées. Comme sur ce Nu et Afraid montrer. Je veux juste faire déposer dans le désert et aller et survis comme ces gars font, créer mon propre feu et de voir ce qui est comme. Je pense que je pourrais le faire. Je peux tenir là-bas. Je peux survivre à tout.
Je n'aime pas les serpents et je n'aime pas les moustiques, mais je ne suis pas peur d'eux. Ils pourraient me déposer partout et je ne pouvais survivre.

SETTLEMENET REACHED BETWEEN LUCIAN BUTE & DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA ATHLETIC COMMISSION

Laisser un commentaire
MONTRÉAL (Novembre 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, qui s'est terminé par un match nul, a positive test result was announced to the general surprise of Bute.
Depuis, cependant, 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 (USD), within a period not exceeding 90 journées, 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, mon 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, M. 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. “j'ai, plus que jamais, 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.”

Une légende américaine s'apprête à descendre sur le London Boxing Gym pour célébrer un film sur sa carrière

Laisser un commentaire

Le lundi 28e Novembre, Vinny Pazienza, le sujet du prochain film hollywoodien BLEED FOR THIS, descendra sur le Ringtone Gym du boxeur professionnel Ben Day à Euston, Londres pour une série d'entretiens avec la presse, avant une projection privée spéciale du film ce soir-là. BLEED FOR THIS sortira au Royaume-Uni vendredi 2Dakota du Nord Décembre.

 

BLEED FOR THIS est basé sur l'incroyable histoire vraie de Vinny Pazienza, qui est joué par Miles Teller dans le film, l'un des rares boxeurs américains à détenir des titres mondiaux dans trois catégories de poids différentes, qui a subi un accident de voiture presque mortel au sommet de sa carrière. J'ai dit qu'il ne marcherait plus jamais. Vinny a passé des mois à récupérer dans une minerve jusqu'à ce que, contre les ordres des médecins et à leur insu, il est retourné au gymnase. Avec le soutien du formateur Kevin Rooney, joué par Aaron Eckhart dans le film, «The Pazmanian Devil» fait un retour triomphal sur le ring un peu plus d'un an plus tard.

 

Écrit et réalisé par Ben Younger (Chaufferie), BLEED FOR THIS est produit par le directeur de RAGING BULL, Martin Scorsese. Miles Teller (Coup de fouet, Chiens de guerre) stars comme Vinny aux côtés d'Aaron Eckhart (Le Chevalier Noir, Souiller) comme entraîneur de Patience Kevin Rooney. Le casting de soutien comprend Ciarán Hinds, Ted Levine et Katey Sagal.

 

Sur une note latérale excentrique: Samedi 3e Décembre, le lendemain de la sortie de BLEED FOR THIS au niveau national au Royaume-Uni, Ben Day, le propriétaire du Ringtone Gym, sera de retour en action au Championnat lui-même, alors qu'il cherche à décrocher son troisième titre, le poids léger de la zone sud, contre Michael Devine au York Hall à Bethnal Green, Londres.

 

Parlant plus tôt, Ben a dit “J'ai vraiment hâte que Vinny et les stars du film arrivent au gymnase lundi. Je peux comprendre les difficultés de Vinnys que nous avons toutes les deux rencontrées dans des domaines similaires, son physique et le mien mental, après une éducation extrêmement difficile, cependant, contre toute attente, je détiens maintenant une ceinture internationale des maîtres et le titre des super-légers de la zone sud, et je me bats pour le titre poids léger de la zone sud sur 3rd décembre!”

 

Billets pour Ben Day contre Michael Devine pour le Southern Area Lightweight Championship au York Hall de Londres samedi 3e Décembre 2016 sont disponibles sur le site Web du gymnase – www.ringtoneboxinggym.com

SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIE (Novembre 22, 2016) – The second main card fight announced for "Bellator 170: Ortiz contre. Sonnen" at The Forum on Janvier 21, 2017 features the Bellator MMA debut of Los Angeleno Ralek Gracie (3-0), who will meet Hisaki Kato (7-2) dans un combat de poids moyen.

 

The fight joins a card that already features a contest that many mixed martial arts fans thought they’d never see, quand Tito Ortiz (18-12-1) et Chael Sonnen (28-14-1) return to action. The event will be broadcast live and free on SPIKE at 9 p.m. ET/8 p.m. CT, while preliminary action will stream on Bellator.com and the Bellator Mobile App.

 

Tickets for this massive event start at $36 et sont maintenant en vente au Bellator.com, as well as Ticketmaster.com Additional main and preliminary card bouts will be announcing in the coming weeks.

 

A seulement 22, Ralek made his MMA debut in Japan, where he defeated his opponent, Kastuyori Shibata with a devastating armbar. 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 en 2015. Maintenant, Kato sets his sights on Gracie, looking to nullify the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu of his Jan. 21 ennemi.

Richard Schaefer
Merci beaucoup, 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 Samedi, Décembre 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. Couverture télévisée débutera à 10 p.m. ET/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, pendant longtemps, 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, aussi. Si, 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, avec un record de 10-0, avec 8 KOs, taking on Australia’s Lenny Zappavigna with a record of 35-2 avec 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, qui est 16-0, avec 11 KOs of Orlando, Floride, and junior lightweight Mario Barrios, avec un record de 16-0, avec 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. avec un record de 24-1 avec 12 KOs, former title challenger Josesito Lopez with a 33-7 record, avec 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’ frère cadet, Adan Mares, qui a un dossier 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 h, and the fights begins shortly thereafter. Tickets for the live event are on sale now, and they start at $35, ouais 35, what a steal. Students get a special $10 de. There’s a $25 student ticket available as well, et ils sont disponibles à www.galentix.com.
Maintenant, 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, Sports Showtime, 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 Décembre 10, and I’ll turn it over back to Richard.
R. Schaefer
Droit, thank you very much Stephen. Maintenant, 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, Mexique. Il était 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 Garcia. If you look at his resume, it is as impressive as it comes. He is a former world champion at 118, 122 et 126 livres, 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
Certainement, 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.
Si, I’m really honored and privileged to be fighting Décembre 10 in my hometown in LA. It’s going to be a great fight against a great fighter, Jésus 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. Je ne peux pas attendre pour 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?
Un. Mères
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. Pourquoi? 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. Si, 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?
Un. Mères
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, ben oui, experience has helped a lot to get you out of certain things but, de nouveau, 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?
Un. Mères
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, évidemment, and I just felt sad at the moment because I love to fight.
Oui, J'étais décu, not so much in myself, just the situation, mais, de nouveau, 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?
Un. Mères
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, évidemment, 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, trop. I think there was a red flag for them because, évidemment, 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, nous sommes bon pour aller. 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?
Un. Mères
It was in my left eye.
Q
Abner, do you have any concern whatsoever about rust?
Un. Mères
Pas du tout, you have to see it and look at it on the positive side. Évidemment, I haven’t been in the spotlight, no cameras around me, no lights, but I’ve been active. Depuis Mars, 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. Si, 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. Schaefer
Je pense, tout d'abord, 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, nettement, 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
Bien, grand. 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 avec 21 KO. 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.
Jésus 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
Bien, 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?
Un. Mères
I think that part itself tells you what I have left. Je lui ai donné mon tout. 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?
Un. Mères
Wow. Si, many but I think that number one is definitely on my basic punches, the one, deux, 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. Si, 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?
Un. Mères
Oui, 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?
Un. Mères
Première, all of the great people I have around me. My circle, mes amis, 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, évidemment, the great team, AFFICHER L'HEURE, my advisor and then everyone for this opportunity. I’m really looking forward to making myself and my family proud for everything overall. Comme tu as dis, 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
Jésus, 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
Ce passé Samedi 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, comme un boxeur, 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?
Un. Mères
Je suis désolé, 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 le dimanche, 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.
Bien que, I think it’s divided. Je pense 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. Si, 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. Ne Pas, 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?
Un. Mères
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. J'étais, évidemment, 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 nouveau, I’m really thankful for my team.
Q
Jésus, 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
Ne Pas, 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
Jésus, 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 December 10th à Los Angeles.
R. Schaefer
Bien, grand. 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 vendredi 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. Si, 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. Merci beaucoup.
