 PROVIDENCE (Jún 23, 2016) – A year after he was stripped of his world super welterweight title by the World Boxing Organization (WBO), neporazený výborný welterweight Demetrius “Boo Boo” Andrade has repositioned himself off of his sensational June 11 th stoppage of Willle “Veľký” Nelson na SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING®.
The 28-year-old Andrade (23-0, 16 KO) decked Nelson (25-3-1, 15 KO) four times, finishing off his game opponent who’d never been knocked out, v 12th round of their fight at Turning Stone Casino (Verona, New York).
Andrade successfully defended his WBO International title and also gained several valuable options in terms of world title and/or major fights. He is now the No. 1 mandatory contender in the World Boxing Council (WBC), waiting to challenge the winner of a mandated title fight between new champion Jermell Charlo and WBC Silver title holder Charles Hatley. The 2008 U.S.. Olympian is No. 2 v WBO, Do Not. 3 in the World Boxing Association (WBA), a Miguel Cotto is No. 1 in both of those sanctioning organizations.
After his sensational, statement-making performance against Nelson, Andrade said he wanted to fight anybody whose name started with “C” and ended in ‘O” – the Charlo brothers (IBF champion isJermall Charlo), Cotto and “Canela” (Saul Alvarez).
“I am the best fighter in the 154-pound division,” Andrade proclaimed. “I’m the No. 1 contender in the WBO. Liam Smith is holding my belt but I don’t believe he’ll fight me. I’m the WBC mandatory for the Charlo-Hatley winner. Once I get that belt I’ll beat Charlo’s twin for the IBF title and I’ve been calling out (WBA champ Erislandy) Lara for a long time. But ‘Canelo’ is the big money fight out there for me and who I want the most. I can be ready for him in September for his next fight. Koniec koncov, we’ll see what’s up, but I want to get right back in the ring as soon as one of these guys step up to fight me.”
During his long layoff, Andrade made a conscious effort to be a more fan-friendly fighter, building up his strength to go along with his superior quickness. Many called his last fight, ‘Mayweather-like,’ in which Demetrius displayed tremendous power and explosiveness, which complemented his incredible boxing skills and defense.
“When I first turned pro,” Andrade vysvetlil, “I was getting in the ring with some good fighters, so I was cautious and settled in on just getting a victory. I learned that I needed to change in order to put butts in seats. I don’t get hit and I also showed that I could go 12 kolesá, good for experience, and still takeout a tough fighter like Nelson who had never been stopped. I wasn’t going for the knockout but, after I caught him early with a right hook, I knew that it would come if I was patient and kept up the pressure. I think Willie can give any of the other top guys at 154 a good fight. He has a big heart and came to win. It wasn’t as easy as it may have looked on the scorecards. Willie pushed me to look good. During my layoff, I worked hard on my craft to be better, concentrating on strength and conditioning, and it really showed in my last fight. I worked on my fundamentals and had a lot of success going to the body. I believe fans saw improvement in my performance and appreciated it.”
More comfortable knowing his promotional issues are now in the past (his A Team Promotions owns 50% of his rights to go along with 25% each for Banner Promotions (Artie Pelullo) a Star Boxing (Joe DeGuardia), Andrade is prepared to clean out the 154-division before eventually moving up in weight to take on Gennady Golovkin in what Andrade believes can be a mega-fight in due time.
“I’ve always known since I first saw Demetrius in the ring at 14 years old that he was going to become a superstar,” A Team Promotions president A Farris komentoval. “There were so many doubters and obstacles along the way. It sure took a long time to get here but I’m so happy for him that his moment has finally arrived. You don’t know how good it feels to see him fulfill his destiny.”
Andrade, vlastne, hasn’t lost inside the ring in nearly eight years, when he was ripped off against Korean boxer Kim Jung-Joo, 11-9, in the quarterfinals of the 2008 Olympijské hry v Pekingu, Čína. The boxer named “Boo Boo” – as a kid with cuts, bumps and bruises – doesn’t plan on changing his unbeaten script.
“I’m still untouchable,” Andrade concluded. “I’ve shown my continued commitment to boxing. It’s ‘Boo Boo’ doba!”

NAŽIVO v Tanečnej sále COWBOYS v SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS
Vstupenky sú v predaji TERAZ prostredníctvom Cowboys.ApexVstupenky.
LAS VEGAS, Nevada – Vzkriesenie Boj Alliance (RFA) prezident Ed Soares dnes oznámil, že RFA mieri do Texasu na konci júla. Hlavnou udalosťou RFA 41 bude obsahovať výbušné stretnutie medzi dvoma z najlepších vyhliadok tohto športu v strednej váhe. “Capo” Joe Gigliotti a Trevin Giles dokončili všetkých mužov, ktorým čelili v MMA, a teraz sa budú navzájom zameriavať. RFA 41 – Gigliotti vs.. Giles sa uskutoční Piatok, 29. júla na Cowboys Dancehall v San Antoniu, Texas. Celá hlavná karta bude vysielaný naživo a na celoštátnej úrovni AXS televíziu na 10 p.m. A / 7 p.m. PT.
“Som nadšený, že privážam RFA do Texasu,” Stanovené Soares. “Hlavnou udalosťou RFA 41 predstavuje dva z najlepších mladých talentov MMA. Joe Gigliotti a Trevin Giles sú neporazení a zastavili všetkých svojich súperov. Toto je epická bitka, ktorú si fanúšikovia boja Texasu zaslúžia.”
Vstupenky na RFA 41 – Gigliotti vs.. Giles si môžete kúpiť TERAZ na adrese Cowboys.ApexTicketing.com
Gigliotti (7-0) si rýchlo získala reputáciu jedného z najobávanejších bojovníkov MMA. Dvadsaťdvaročný rodák z Ohia dokončil všetkých sedem svojich súperov. To zahŕňa 58-sekundové zničenie bývalého vyzývateľa titulu RFA Johna Poppieho na RFA 37 v apríli. Tento boj sa odohral s prezidentkou UFC Danou Whiteovou sediacou v klietke. Šéf UFC mal po zápase veľmi pozitívne veci, ktoré povedal Gigliottimu, ktorú použil ako ďalšiu motiváciu smerujúcu do svojho ďalšieho boja, ktorý bol naplánovaný ako odporúčaný boj RFA 39 minulý Piatok v Chicagu. Ten boj, však, sa rozpadol, keď jeho súper Daniel Vizcaya vycúval z boja po tom, čo zle schudol. Veterinár Bellator a The Ultimate Fighter Vizcaya sa dostavili na RFA 39 odvážte ohromných 7 libier nad stiahnutou hmotnosťou. Gigliotti vyhlásil, že bude proti Vizcayi bojovať aj tak bez toho, aby si vzal z kabelky nejaké percento. Bojový veterán z rodného mesta Vizcaya z boja bez ohľadu na to vycúval.
Giles (6-0) je vyrezaný z rovnakého plátna ako Gigliotti. Nielen, že je špičkovým neporaziteľným vyhliadkou strednej váhy, ktorý predviedol svoj talent v televízii AXS, ale 23-ročný Texasan tiež dokončil každého muža postaveného pred seba. Ešte dôležitejšie, Giles je dole, aby bojoval s kýmkoľvek, kdekoľvek, kedykoľvek a s radosťou prijali pozvanie do boja “Capo Joe” v rodnom San Antoniu. Na Piatok, 29. júla, RFA 41 – Gigliotti vs.. Giles dovnútra “Alamo City” prinesie bitke o Alamo nový význam.
Čo-main event RFA 41 sa predstaví vysoko postavená vojna s nízkou hmotnosťou medzi bývalým vyzývateľom titulu RFA v ľahkej váhe a ostrieľaným veterinárom MMA z amazonskej oblasti na severe Brazílie. Jamall Emmers (9-3), ktorý bojuje z Pinnacle MMA v južnej Kalifornii, vychádza z akčnej ľahkej výzvy s titulom v hlavnej udalosti RFA 38 začiatkom tohto mesiaca. Emmers posilnil týždennú výpoveď a do piateho kola vzal šampióna RFA v ľahkej váhe Thiaga Moisésa. Boj zapôsobil na prezidentku UFC Danu Whiteovú, ktorý sedel v klietke pre túto udalosť.
Emmers sa vráti do svojho bývalého sídla v San Antoniu, kde bude čeliť Rivaldo Junior (15-5-2), ktorý je rodákom z Manausu, Brazília, ktorá teraz volá San Antonio domov. Dlhoročný brazílsky veterán z MMA bojoval profesionálne o koniec 10 leta. Bojoval za prestížne brazílske postupové súťaže Jungle Fight a Shooto Brazil a v jednom momente mal naplánovaný boj s Raonim Barcelosom, ktorý je v súčasnosti úradujúcim majstrom RFA v mušej váhe. Junior sa chystá na svoj dlho očakávaný medzinárodný debut v MMA v zápase, ktorý, ako dúfa, ho privedie o krok bližšie k tomu, aby konečne vyzval svojho krajana Barcelosa.
Celý RFA 41 Boj karty a ďalšie informácie o tejto akcii budú oznámené čoskoro. RFA 41 bude prvým podujatím propagácie, ktoré sa uskutoční v “Štát Lone Star” Texasu a bude to šestnásty štát, ktorý RFA navštívila. Celá Hlavná karta RFA 41 – Gigliotti vs.. Giles bude vysielaný naživo a na celoštátnej úrovni v televízii AXS o 10 p.m. A / 7 p.m. PT na Piatok, 29. júla.

LONDÝN (Jún 23, 2016) – Undefeated IBF Heavyweight World Champion Anthony Joshua (16-0, 16 KO) and fellow unbeaten American challenger Dominic Breazeale (17-0, 15 KO), participated in the final press conference vo štvrtok at Sky Sports Studios in London, just two days before their showdown túto sobotu.
The British sensation and 2012 Olympic Games Gold Medalist, Joshua will make the first defense of his title against Breazeale, a 2012 U.S.. Olympian from Upland, Calif., to Sobota, Jún 25 na SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL® from a sold-out The O2 v Londýne, žiťSHOWTIME® on at 5:15 p.m. A/2:15 p.m. PT.

A few hours later Sobota, in primetime on CBS (9 p.m. A/6 p.m. PT), Keith “One Time” Thurman will defend his WBA Welterweight World Title against former champ Shawn “Showtime” Porter in a welterweight blockbuster that headlines SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING na CBS, v podaní Premier Boxing Champions.
Below is what the fighters had to say at the final press conference, followed by some recent fight week quotes. (Courtesy Sky Sports and Matchroom Sport)
ANTHONYJOSHUA:
“You’re in my jungle now. Neexistuje žiadny tlak na mňa.
“Once that bell goes, you can’t hide the instinct, the instinct that you want to get someone out of there. I hope I can go in there, stay relaxed and do what I planned to do. But once that bell rings something just comes over you and you want to get him out of there ASAP.
“There will always be pressure. But look, it’s always been the same concept: Train hard – it’s the same ring. It hasn’t changed.
“I’ve got nothing to lose. I’ve always explained let’s get rid of the belts, the atmosphere, because when the bell goes it’s just me and him in the ring. Two gladiators, two respectful warriors coming together. We’re going to slug it out and put our 0s on the line.”
“I’m prepared, Dominic is prepared well, and one of us has to take a loss.
“Each fight is a stepping stone to the big tests. I want to look like the real deal.”
“I think we’re in the golden era of boxing again.”
Dominica Breazeale:
“I respect you as a fighter, but I’m going to beat you. I’ve got to beat the best of the best.”
“Už sa nemôžem dočkať, it’s been an opportunity I’ve been waiting eight years for this. It’s an opportunity of a lifetime and I’m ready for this.
“Očakávajte ohňostroje. We’ll be going round for round, punch for punch and I expect to knock out Joshua.”
“I got a big right hand, I have a big left hook. I stand 6-foot-7, 255 libier. I’m unorthodox – I’m a guy that can fight on the inside, I’m a guy that can take a punch, I’m a guy that can give a punch. So if any one of those given things show up v sobotu night I’m getting a knockout, zaiste.
“It’s a major advantage just for me to have Anthony Joshua the whole time. I don’t want him at any given point for him to feel like he’s in his comfort zone, his own backyard or his own little lion’s den.
“That’s what I came across the pond to do. I came across the pond to get my belt and take it back home with me.
“It’s my Super Bowl. Being a former football player, this is my Super Bowl.”
“Everybody keeps comparing me to Charles Martin, the only thing that we have in common is that we’re both American. We have a completely different fight style, different goals in life.
“I’m a big puncher, so is Anthony Joshua. He has the belt and I intend to have it v sobotu noc.
ADDITIONAL FIGHT WEEK QUOTES:
ANTHONY JOSHUA
"Ja som 16 boja, 16 vyhráva, Dominic is 17 boja, 17 vyhráva. We’ve been pro for the same amount of time, amateurs for the same time so we’re at a similar level on paper.
“People think this will end in two rounds? Brilliant. I am winning fights early because of my talent and hard work. Where I am in my career, it’s a perfect fight.
“I don’t overlook anyone. People talk and talk, that’s irrelevant. It’s all about whether he can fight. I think he believes in himself, but he knows what’s in store here, he needs to know I’m serious about this boxing. He thinks he’s going to KO me, he’s dismissed Charles Martin — sometimes you just have to humble somebody and show levels, let them know it’s not that easy.
“The second I stepped in to the pros it was ‘Boom!' — Anthony Joshua – headlining. That’s not down to me, its media channels and people wanting to get to know the guy behind the gloves. So it’s been hard to build a career at the right pace without criticism because people want to see me in massive fights right now.
“You can’t jump from hero to zero, there are people guiding us over a long and a dangerous career. People have to understand that it’s a development of a career, and if I ever train a fighter, I’ll tell them the same thing.”
On fellow heavyweight world champions Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury:
“This won’t be my only defense, I want there to be lots and lots, and at the right time I will fight David Haye, Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder and the rest. We’re in an era now where we have to fight each other. There’s never been an era when the best don’t fight the best at heavyweight — but they have to happen at the right time, and they will.
“We are all world champions as we hold all the belts that are available. We’re all talented. Deontay has defended his title multiple times so you have to give him credit for that. Tyson and I haven’t defended yet, so I put Deontay at the top. But Tyson beat Wladimir Klitschko who reigned for such a long time.
“I am happy because I became a world champion in my 16th fight and they won theirs later in their careers. But Tyson beat the main man in the division, and Deontay has defended his belt lots of times, so I am in third right now, but I am building my way up.
“Put the belts to one side, they don’t give you magical powers. A lot of fighters lose their belt in their first defense. It’s about developing your raw talent and making sure you keep on an upward curve because there’s hungry young challengers snapping at your heels all the time, ready to expose you – and I refuse that to happen to me.”
On Charles Martin:
“Before the fight, no one criticized (Charles) Martin. He was undefeated, knocking guys out, tall southpaw, dangerous. Bookies were taking a lot of bets on him knocking me out. Tyson Fury backed him to do just that and a lot of people thought it would be tricky. Up until I beat him, he was seen as a worthy fighter. I figured him out quickly and I made him look bad. He didn’t look like the champion people thought he was, but you have to respect him.”
On thinking about losing:
“I think about losing all the time, I’m scared of it. That keeps me humble and working hard. I don’t think people are going to beat me or anything, but I don’t want to lose, and I know that if I work hard and keep improving, I won’t lose.
“I get enough attention from this job. Tu sú 20,000 fans at the fights, millions watching on TV around the world. I don’t need to seek attention. I’m not a trash talker because the fists do the talking.’’
On being a role model:
“I know that there are a lot of kids watching me now and their parents say ‘my son loves you’ and that’s in my mind.
“I’ll be myself all the time, but that sense of being a role model and having kid’s look up to you, that checks the emotions that could come out if you get wound up. You have to conduct yourself.’’
On Tyson Fury:
“Tyson talks a lot. I hear so many different things, if he was consistent with what he says then maybe I’d think he was digging a bit, but it’s just water off a duck’s back. I don’t know him, but as long as people are saying ‘when are you going to fight him?’ then I like him because he is relevant.
“It would be such a huge fight and one that would be part of my legacy. I think because he’s beaten Wladimir once he can do it again. I didn’t think he’d win the first fight, but he pulled it off.
“I’d love to fight Tyson – it’s a match-up that needs to happen. There have been talks, whether they are a quick chat or serious negotiations, but you can’t click your fingers and come up with a mega fight. It takes time, but they are in the pipeline and we’re building towards them, and in the meantime I want to test myself and learn my craft. I need to perform well to prove that I can handle the massive fights.’’
On fellow British heavyweight David Haye:
“David is running the show and people know it, so when he goes in against soft opponents, he’s putting his neck on the line to get the stick. Fans expect more from him and he’s not meeting those levels, and that’s where the backlash comes from. The people he’s calling out versus the two guys he has fought, they just don’t add up, and that’s what people are frustrated about.
“I don’t think you can knock the Shannon Briggs fight. He’s made a lot of noise, he’s old school and it’s a good fight for David to take, win and move upwards. Shannon had made noise and he’s got his moment and who knows? Maybe he can shock the world. He’s old, but he trains hard and he’s in great condition, and that’s why people love the heavyweights because it’s that one shot.
“A fight with Fury and I is the biggest fight in British boxing in my opinion. The Haye fight is big too; there’s enough media interest for it to be big. It’s already big and we’re not even fighting yet, so imagine how big it would be once we get in there. It’d be unbelievable and that’s why I am so interested in the fights.”
Dominica Breazeale:
“I plan on putting on some extreme pressure and taking Joshua to places he’s never been. We’ll find out if he can handle it.
“Do I want to see him go into uncharted territory? Samozrejme, bezpochyby.
“I’ve been there, I know what it feels like and I’ve done it several times now. Súčasne, I’m not going to let an opportunity pass me. If I see something I can take in the first or second round, I’m definitely going to get him out of there.
“I’ve sparred guys that are bigger than me, I’ve sparred some guys smaller than me. I’ve been the tallest thus far (z jeho odborných oponentov), but I don’t think the difference in a matter of inches is going to make that big of a difference. The guys I’ve sparred with are 10 times better than Anthony Joshua.
“I think that it’s going to be one of those situations that it is not going to be a difference of size or weight. It’s going to be the difference of skill and experience.
“When you think of a heavyweight champion you want to make sure he’s fought the best, and I think that’s why Joshua has chosen me as his opponent to defend against. That’s what he plans on getting out of the situation if he can make it through the 12 kolesá.
“I think Joshua’s thinking of me as a stepping stone and he’s going to be sorry about that. He’s just wrong. He’s fighting a guy at 6-foot-7, 255 pounds that brings the pressure and a great pace from round-to-round.
“I’m one of those guys that I might take a shot, I might work some defense or I might work a strong jab. Tak aj tak, I’m going to make it a fight. All of my opponents have been down on the canvas and I don’t think Joshua is going to come shy of that as well.
“I’ve been picked as the smaller guy in the ring, by the IBF as a stepping stone and I feel like my back is against the wall. I’m going to come out fighting.
“To come here and win the IBF title in London is a major thing for me that I plan to achieve. Then I want to continuing to go after all the titles.
“My mind set has definitely changed. The situation that I’m in mentally is just different compared to some of my fights in the past. My confidence level is through the roof and physically I feel great.
“I think the heavyweight division is getting ready to change. With individuals like myself, Deontay and Tyson, we have guys who are characters who bring a lot of charisma to the division. That’s something that we need. Áno, we are athletes but in the end we are entertainers and we want to see a show. I’m the type of guy that brings a show every single time I fight. It’s action-packed from the opening bell to the end, and fight fans are looking for that. That’s what is going to resurrect the heavyweight division.’’
On his win over Amir Mansour:
“That was another confidence booster for me. It’s one thing to finish a guy in the first round with three punches or something like that. It’s another thing to finish a guy in the sixth, seventh round with a combination of shots.
“Amir put me down on the canvas in the second, I battled back and ended up breaking the man’s jaw.
“It gives me something to work on. I know I was able to come back and be very successful from it. Anytime you get a win of that matter where you get a guy, break him down, break him down where he quits on the stool, it’s a huge confidence booster. It makes you understand as an athlete or as a professional boxer that you’ve got punching power, you just broke another man’s jaw.’’
On returning to London after the 2012 Olympijské hry:
“I think it’s going to beautiful. It’s going to be great to go back to where my amateur career ended and beat the guy who won the gold medal. That’s going to be great. A potom, on top of that, take away more hardware with the IBF Heavyweight title. You couldn’t ask for anything better.
“Then again I do understand and believe I’m a completely different fighter — not only am I a professional but I no longer fight an amateur style. I would consider myself a knockout artist with some pretty good punching power and that’s what I plan on showing the UK fans and my U.S. following. It’s a chapter that needs to be closed and I plan on doing that.’’
On the state of the heavyweight division:
“I believe that we’ve got a lot of heavyweights who are doing real well and are real successful in their situations, some being titleholders, some not. But I think it’s going to be a revolving circle. Me fighting Anthony Joshua, then going on to Deontay and Fury, Wladimir Klitschko might even hang around for a while. Will it ever be compared to the Ali days or Riddick Bowe and the Evander Holyfield days? I don’t know. Bowe and Holyfield had one great trilogy and I study it all the time. So it all depends on how much each fighter has left in him.’’

TOP WELTERWEIGHTS: THURMAN-PORTER WINNER TOO CLOSE TO CALL
To Sobota, Jún 25, Live in Primetime at 9 p.m. A/6 p.m. PT na CBS
Kliknite na tlačidlo TU For PBC Fighter Prediction Video
NEW YORK (Jún 22, 2016) – Their peers in the welterweight division – majstri sveta, former champions, contenders and top prospects – can’t pick a definitive winner between defending WBA 147-pound king Keith “One Time” Thurman (26-0, 22 KO) a bývalý majster sveta “Showtime” Shawn Porter (26-1-1, 16 KO).
The majority of the fighters polled – some of whom are potential opponents down the line for the winner – lean toward Thurman, but most all concede that Sobotné eagerly awaited main event of a SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® on CBS event, v podaní Premier Boxing Champions (9 p.m. A/6 p.m. PT) at Barclays Center is going to be an intense, vzrušujúce, tight fight from start to finish that could go either way.
Here’s how the boxers see “Thurman vs. Oblečenie”:
Danny Garcia (WBC Welterweight Champion): “I think this is a great matchup. Thurman has the boxing ability and the movement while Shawn Porter is the aggressor and he’s going to bring the heat. To be honest with you it’s a 50-50 boj, but I would give the edge to Keith Thurman by a very close decision.”
Kell Brook (IBF Welterweight Champion):”This is a great fight, one I can’t wait to watch. If Shawn can stick to his boxing I think he can become world champion again on points, but Keith is heavy-handed and he could walk Shawn onto one – it’s really a pick ’em fight for me.”
Errol Spence Jr. (Neporazený Welterweight Contender): “I think this is a great fight between young fighters with good skill. Shawn throws a lot of punches while Thurman is a boxer who can punch too. I know Shawn will be aggressive and it should make for a great fight. If Keith can box and keep Shawn Porter on the outside I see Keith Thurman winning. If Shawn stays on the inside and stays in the chest of Keith, I see him winning.”
Andre Berto (Former Welterweight Champion): “Shawn is going to come, but I think Keith will be on his toes and box but also drop hard shots as well when Shawn comes in. Keith can be very versatile in there and has a lot of great skills, while Shawn is more like a bull. Keith will hurt or knock Shawn down but will keep coming all night.”
Sammy Vazquez (Neporazený Welterweight Contender): “Shawn is a pressure fighter and Thurman used to be a pressure fighter but now he boxes. It’s really hard for me to decide who is going to come out on top. Thurman has good power. It all depends on how Shawn is able to take Thurman’s punches. I think Thurman because of the power but Shawn will bring it for 12 rounds.”
Robert Guerrero (Former Welterweight Champion): “This is a fight the fans are going to love watching. Both Thurman and Porter bring exciting styles to the ring. I think if Porter can keep the fight on the inside he’ll have a better chance to come out victorious. But Keith Thurman is a very smart and powerful fighter and will make the right adjustments. I just think Thurman is going to outbox Porter. I’m picking Thurman to win by decision in a very tough fight.”
Luis Collazo (Former Welterweight Champion): “I’m not sure who the favorite is, but I’m going with Porter. I like his style and I think it’s going to be interesting to see how Thurman holds up with the pressure Porter is going to bring.”
Devon Alexander (Former Welterweight Champion): “Je to veľmi vzrušujúce boj. Both fighters are come forward type fighters and they swing for the fences when they throw. I don’t know who will come out on top because they have similar styles. Shawn Porter has decent power, but out of the two Keith has the more power. We’ll see. This is boxing.”
