Mikey GARCIA
At the end of my career, this is the fight that will have opened the door for even bigger fights. I plan on moving up and fighting even bigger names. This is the kind of fight that really motivates me and it’s going to be the first of many big fights.
I’m very focused on Sergey Lipinets. The entire camp I’ve known what’s in front of me. I know he’s hungry and wants to defend his title. He knows what’s in front of him, so I know he’ll be in the best shape possible. Lipinets knows what a win over me will do for his career, and it’s my job to make sure that doesn’t happen.
I don’t have a specific goal in this sport but I know that I need to win more world titles in more weight classes. I know that at the end of my career I’ll get the credit that I deserve.
I’m happy to bring this show to a beautiful city like San Antonio and I just want everybody to come out Samedi. This is a great boxing city and I know they’re going to show up for a great night of boxing. There are lots of candidates for ‘Fight of the Nighton this card. We’re all hungry and we’re all here to win.
SERGEY LIPINETS
“Je suis très heureux de cette occasion. If you’ve followed my career you’ve seen that I never take a shortcut. It meant a lot to win a world title but I’ve really always wanted to fight the best of the best. Mikey gave me that chance and I was eager to take it.
I have no concerns about my hand at all. My right hand is hungry and it’s going to be eating a lotSamedi nuit.
“Je suis jeune, I’m hungry and I have a great team behind me. Je suis rapide, strong and I have all the confidence I need heading into this fight.
RANCES Barthélemy
I’m very excited to be here in San Antonio fighting for the first time. Everyone knows that the first fight with Relikh was an unbelievable war. People thought it was a close fight, but I’m here to make history and erase any doubt.
This is going to be a great show with great action all night long. The fight fans here in San Antonio are great and I hope everyone shows up for it.
Everyone knows that Cubans have a rich tradition in boxing, including one of my trainers, Joel Casamayor. It’s an amazing feat to be able to be the first Cuban to win world titles in three weight classes.
I always tell the truth and Relikh is a powerful puncher, I won’t take that away from him. I never touched the canvas though, but Relikh did. Samedi nuit, I’m going to put him back on the canvas.
KIRYL RELIKH
I’m very happy to have this opportunity again to fight against Barthelemy again. It’s good for me that this time we will be fighting for a world title. I’m very happy for my new team and you will see a new fighter Samedi.
I don’t think I lost the first fight, but that’s up to the judges. Ce temps, we will be much better and not leave it in the judgeshands if we have the opportunity.
This is boxing so we know anything can happen. Two world class fighters are going for the world title, so of course I’m going to be at my best. This is going to be a fight you cannot miss Samedi.”
MARIO BARRIOS
It’s great to be back home. I’m very excited for the opportunity to show off in front of my people and show them what I’ve been working on.
I had a great camp out there with Virgil Hunter. I can’t wait to be on this huge card. These fighters up here are champions that I look forward to meeting real soon in the ring.
It’s going to be an exciting night. Je suis jeune, I’m hungry and I’m a Mexican fighter competing at home in Texas. I hope everyone comes out for a great show.
EUDY BERNARDO
I feel very good about my fight. Training camp went really well and I think I’ve done everything I need to do to win.
Samedi, I’m going to get in the ring and take care of the game plan we came up with in the gym. I’m really going to focus on solid defense and pressuring the guy, because I’m in really good shape.
Barrios is a really good fighter, I know he’s undefeated but if I execute my game plan and focus on what I’ve been working on in the gym I’ll be successful. I want to take him in to deeper waters, to the fourth and fifth rounds, and try to get him on his heels.
I’ve been working really really hard on good defense and staying low. once I get past the third, fourth and fifth rounds that’s when the fight is really going to start.
Alejandro Luna
It feels great to be on this stage. I’ve been doing this since I was nine-years-old so the time is now. I’m ready to take full advantage of this.
“Le camp d'entraînement était super. The only bump we had was the postponement of the fight, but we slowed it down a little bit so we could peak at the right time. Je suis prêt à aller.
Richard Commey comes from a rich boxing background and those fighters from Ghana are all known for coming forward. I think our styles are really going to clash nicely. The real winner of this fight is going to be the fans.
RICHARD COMMEY
The change to Andre Rozier as my trainer was something I needed and wanted. I’m very happy to be working with one of the best trainers in the country and so far he’s helped me improve in many ways.
I know that Luna is going to apply pressure and come forward. He’s going to look to throw big right hands, so we’re getting ready for all of that.
I just have to stick to my game plan and make sure I’m always first. My job is to go in and get the win and convince the judges any way that I can that I’m the better fighter.
ROBERT GARCIA, Frère Garcia & Entraîneur
I’ve worked with many Russian and Eastern Europeans fighters before and the one thing about those guys is, they are the most dedicated fighters I’ve ever worked with.
I know Sergey is in the best shape of his life because a win over Mikey will bring him even bigger fights. We know we’ll have a tough, adversaire fort Samedi night and that’s what we’ve prepared for.
BUDDY MCGIRT, Lipinets’ Entraîneur
You have to wait until Saturday night to see what’s going to happen. After the fight I’ll tell everyone how we got the job done.
It’s fun to me to be in these kind of fights. Mikey Garcia comes from a great pedigree of fighting. Robert Garcia is a gentleman who’s taken limited fighters and got them to the top. Mikey has a lot of talent so they have their eyes on a lot more world titles, mais Samedi nuit, you’ll have to wait and watch happens.
RICHARD SCHAEFER, Président & PDG de Sport Ringstar
For as little as $20 you can be part of a historic night of boxing. This arena is built for boxing so I hope all the local fans come out to witness history being made.
SHOWTIME has continued to put on the best fights week after week and month after month. They have really become the sole leader in this sport and are a big reason why there has been such a resurgence of boxing in the U.S.
This fight card has a little bit of everything. There are five Texans fighting on this card, most notably San Antonio’s Mario Barrios, plus emerging stars such as Alejandro Luna and Richard Commey, who are looking to make names for themselves.
The 140-pound division is on full display Saturday night with Rances Barthelemy and Kiryl Relikh meeting in a world title rematch for a world title. Plus of course we have the historic matchup as Sergey Lipinets defends his title while Mikey Garcia seeks a fourth world title in a weight class.
These are exciting fighters, big punchers and you will see fireworks Samedi night from Freeman Coliseum in San Antonio.

Young face à WBA Reymart Eliminator sur Mars 23 au Seminole Hard Rock Hôtel & Casino

Vendredi, Mars 23, in the Event Center at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino à Hollywood, Floride, promoter Kris Lawrence’s The Heavyweight Factory will present “Rumble at the Rock,” an 11-bout night of world-class professional boxing.
Featured in the night’s main event is a 12-round WBA Bantamweight Eliminator for the mandatory contender between WBA #4-rated southpaw StephonShowstopper” Jeune (17-0-3, 7 KOs) from Saint Louis and WBA #5 ReymartGenSan Assassin” Pièces (18-0, 16 KOs) from General Santos City, Philippines. In the 10-round co-main, red-hot 19-year-old Hawaiian welterweight prospect LoganThe Korican KidYoon (11-0, 11 KOs) will face an opponent TBA for the IBF Youth World Championship.
Special guests expected that evening include former heavyweight champions Riddick “Big Daddy” Bowe and Evander “La vraie affaire” Holyfield.
Les billets pour “Rumble at the Rock” sont au prix de $55, $80, $130, et $250 and are available through ticketmaster.com.
For 29-year-old Young, the fight against Gaballo represents him getting one step closer to his dream of a world title after years as a contender.
“Ça fait du bien,” il dit. “I’m in shape and ready. I feel like I have my chance to show the world who the king of the bantamweights really is. Gaballo is obviously very strong. Il est 18-0, 16 KOs. But I also feel like he hasn’t fought anyone like me yet. That’s a whole different story when you step up. It may be a case that his team is putting him into a fight like this way too soon. We will soon see.
For 21-year-old Gaballo, the fight against Young represents a huge leap up in class of opponent. The young slugger has only fought outside his native country twice before. A victory over the well-respected Young would put him instantly on the world stage.
I’m very happy to be fighting in this WBA eliminator and I’m looking forward to being world champ one day. I know Young is a slick southpaw fighter and he’s working hard to beat me, so I have to train twice as hard as usual to come out on top.
Event promoter Kris Lawrence says he’s proud of this event’s world-class international flavor. “This show brings back boxing in South Florida in a big way,” il dit. “We will be announcing the huge undercard shortly and it includes a variety of exciting fighters from different countries including USA, Philippines, Nicaragua, Cuba, Honduras, Haïti, Mexico and Kazakhstan. I’m very happy to be able to present this great event at a world-class venue like the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel.
Being back at the Hard Rock brings back old memories of great years of boxing,” said Henry Rivalta Director of Heavyweight Factory Boxing Operations. “We have very evenly matched fights and this event will be extremely crowd-pleasing. I invite all South Florida fans to come witness it live at Hard Rock’s Event Center. This will be the first boxing event held in the new event center. A special thanks to Kris Lawrence for making this all possible and being a pioneer for boxing here in South Florida, past and present. Aussi, I want to thank Armero Tequila and Jim, Allen and Dave Gold for their support of boxing on these amazing grounds at the Seminole Hard Rock. This will be the first of many to come.

Tampa, FL (Mars 7, 2018) – Welterweight up and comer Mark Reyes will face veteran Larry Yanez in the main event of Fight Night Promotions’ “Vendredi Night Fights” Vendredi, Mars 9 at the Florida State Fairgrounds Entertainment Center in Tampa, FL.
Tickets are available by calling 813-532-5243. Les portes ouvrent à 6 h and the opening bell is at 7.
Living and fighting out of Tampa, Reyes started boxing at the age of 6, becoming a multi-time National Champion. His dream was to represent the US in the 2016 Olympics but his path to Rio was derailed by an injury. As a pro, the talented Reyes has a perfect 5-0 record avec 3 wins by knockout and many industry insiders consider the 21-year-old to be one of Florida’s blue chip prospects.
Originally from Cuba and now residing in Fort Lauderdale, FL, Yanez is a fearless fighter who never turns down a challenge. He’s faced the likes of Gary Antuanne Russell, Samuel Seah, Rickey Edwards, Ivan Najera and Yoelvis Gamboa. In Novemebr 2012, Yanez upset previously unbeaten Jairo Martinez via unanimous decision.
The Reyes-Yanez fight is slated for 6 tours.
En cas de co-principal , Female bantamweight sensation Jasmine “L'animal” Artega of Tampa risks her 4-0 record in a four rounder against iron-chinned Louisianan Ivanna Coleman. Artega’s won all of her bouts by knockout, three coming in the first round and she’s quickly built a reputation as a dynamic puncher with championship potential. Un vétéran de 9 combats, all but one of Coleman’s opponents were unbeaten and she’s never been stopped.
Cruiserweight Ramon Nicholas, 10-2 (6 KO) looks to continue his impressive run when he battles Jimmy “Mad Boxer” Owensby, 5-7 (2 KO) of Louisiana in a six round contest. Born in Cuba but now living in Miami, FL, Nicolas holds impressive victories over renowned spoiler Darnell Boone and former world title challenger Marcus Oliveira. A standout in the World Series of Boxing, both of his Nicholas’ setbacks came via disqualification. Owensby is also riding a wave of confidence, handing 5-0 Richard Brown his first defeat last July.
Junior lightweight Iron Alvarez, 1-0 (1 KO), de Winter Haven, FL meets Alabama’s Jamarkus Harmon, 0-2, dans un quatre rond. Locals Juan Avila, Ramon De La Paz and Michael Ream will also appear in undercard action.
“There was a lot that went into making this card happen including a last minute venue change,” said William Hunter of Fight Night Promotions. “We’re pleased to be showcasing who we believe are two of Florida’s best up and comers in Mark Reyes and Jasmine Artega. Ramon Nicholas is also a great talent who has never truly been defeated. I hope to see everybody at the Fairgrounds Vendredi soir."

Voici ce que les combattants avaient à dire:
Mikey GARCIA
I want to take on these big opportunities because I want to challenge myself. This is another chance to prove to all the fans what kind of fighter I am.
Everything depends on my opponent. If I find there’s an opportunity to go for a knockout, I’m definitely going to take it. Si ça va 12 tours, then he’s a very tough fighter and I expect Lipinets to be tough. I’m just going to do whatever it takes to win the fight. If the opportunity is there, I’m definitely going to go for the knockout because that’s what we’re here to do. I’m here to make the fight as easy as possible.
“Je me sens bien. I’m fighting a bigger man naturally, so that’s something I have to get adjusted to but I still feel that my ability and my skills are enough to compete at the highest level with these men and that’s why I’m comfortable fighting at 140. I still feel that 135 might be a better fit for me because I’m a little bit of a naturally bigger, stronger man at 135, but at 140 I feel just as good as far as my speed, my footwork and my reflexes.
It would be very nice to win a fourth division title. That would obviously be a big accomplishment in my career and it would be the second time I won the title here in the state of Texas. I have a lot of appreciation and love for San Antonio boxing fans.
Some critics aren’t giving Lipinets much credit because he’s only had 13 combats, but that tells you how good of a fighter he is. Il m'a fallu 30 fights to be a world champion. He’s a high caliber fighter who brings great danger. A la fin de la journée,, I believe I’m the better boxer and that will help me get the win.
SERGEY LIPINETS
It was a great camp. We had a lot of different sparring partners that were giving me different looks as far as boxing abilities. Every single one of them had styles similar to Mikey. Je suis prêt à aller. I’m not going to let anything get in the way. I’ll come out victorious Saturday night.
“Je me sens bien. It doesn’t matter if I’m an underdog or not, I’m ready to prove everybody wrong. I really want to show everybody that I’m the one that they should be looking at; that I’m the champion.
Mikey’s records and accomplishments don’t matter to me. He’s got two hands, two feet and one head. He’s just another person, he’s just another fighter I’m fighting. I prepared for little different things to fight Mikey but once I get in the ring, it’s going to be Mikey and me and you’ll see how it’s going to go down.
My hand injury took place over the course of sparring. We were changing sparring partners two rounds at a time. I hit one of them at some point and the next morning [the injury] explosé. I didn’t really feel it at the time when I hurt it.
It’s completely cured; there is no problem with the hand and you’ll see it in action Samedi nuit – no problem at all.
RANCES Barthélemy
I studied [Relikh] a lot so I expect the same type of performance that I’ve studied, based off what he’s done in his past fights and what he did with me in our last fight. I know he’s strong, he’s a hard-hitter, and he always looks for that punch. I expect that this time around as well. He likes to exchange; that’s another thing I’m looking for. I know he’s going to come with all those tools in to the ring so I expect that and my team has prepared exactly for that.
I feel like a completely new guy. Autrefois, I’ve eaten poorly before and after fights. I feel like I’ve reconnected with my youth. My energy has come back thanks to Bob Santos, my new strength and conditioning coach, who has taught me a lot about nutrition and things that I can use not just in the ring, but also outside of the ringthings I can use to prolong my life.
I’m unlocking some of the skills I had in my younger days. They will be one of the key determining factors in how I perform Samedi. I haven’t felt this good in a long time and I’m thankful for that because I feel like a new guy. I usually have concerns about making weight, but not this time around.
My nutrition and physical condition took a toll on me last time I fought. I didn’t think my body was going to react the way it did when I got into the ring. My legs really gave out on me. But not now. Cette fois-ci, I’m coming with a whole new gameplan and I’m not going to have to force myself to adapt to [Relikh’s] strategy. The first time we fought, I felt like I had to fight his fight. I had to make adjustments in the ring and exchange a lot with him. I took a lot of punishment.
I’m definitely not looking past Relikh, I’m really focused on this fight. I want to win this fight. I’m looking for big names after. I can fight anyone between 135 et 147 maintenant. Broner, Garcia, Lomachenko, it’s only big names what I’m after next.
MARIO BARRIOS
This fight it’s a huge step up and probably my toughest fight to date. My opponent looks really good on paper and he has a lot of power. But I’m not concerned. I had a great camp and I’m ready to give my best in front of my hometown fans.I really hope he is ready to fight because I’m going to go in there Samedi and take care of business. It’s going to be a very explosive fight.
We are going to continue climbing the ranks at 140. I hope that I can face Mikey Garcia or Rances Barthelemy at some point. I think early next year I may be ready to go toe-to-toe with them.
No added pressure fighting at home, all of this is motivation. I’ve been waiting to fight back here for a while. Je suis ravi de cette opportunité
Every time I’m out there in the Bay Area at Virgil Hunter’s gym I’m always picking up different things. Every camp, l learn from different guys at the gym – Andre Dirrell, Andre Ward, Amir Kahn. We have our game plan, which I can’t discuss, but going for it Samedi. We should be able to go in there and take care of business, no problem.

Doheny, se bat contre un ancien concurrent de haut niveau; poids plumes invaincus Irvin Gonzalez et Sula Segawa sont 17-0 entre eux, et William Foster, l'un des jeunes combattants les plus talentueux du pays, combat un vétéran de 44 combats pro qui n'a jamais été arrêté. C'est vraiment un événement de classe mondiale dans le lieu le plus amusant de Boston, House of Blues. Le Dropkick Murphys jouera un set avant l'événement principal. C'est un spectacle à ne pas manquer!”
L'événement principal de 10 rounds entre les poids welters juniors extrêmement agressifs O'Connor et Claggett devrait être un brûleur de grange de la cloche d'ouverture à la fin. Aucun combattant ne fait un pas en arrière, ils n'arrêtent jamais de tirer des coups de poing, ce qui en fait un moment incroyablement divertissant, ne peut pas manquer l'épreuve de force.
“Je vais séparer Claggett,” O'Connor, 32 ans, a prédit. “Beaucoup est en jeu et c'est pourquoi j'ai poussé pour ce combat. J'aurais pu combattre un adversaire plus facile, mais je ne voulais pas. Je vais entrer dans le niveau élite de la boxe et c'est un pas dans cette direction.”
O'Connor (29-3, 11 KOs), combattant de Framingham, MA, va défendre son World Boxing Council (WBC) Silver International junior titre des poids welters pour la première fois. Le boxeur populaire était un 2008 U.S.. Équipe olympique suppléant, aussi bien que 2008 Golden Gloves champion national et stars américaines à venir en amateur.
Le gaucher agressif irlando-américain a remporté ses trois derniers combats, dont un KO au troisième tour des invaincus Daniel Gonzalez (14-0-1) pour le bracelet vacant WBC Silver Intercontinental en novembre dernier au Mohegan Sun Casino dans le Connecticut.
“Je suis content de me battre à la maison devant mon système de soutien,” l'affable O'Connor a dit. J'ai une grande fan-base et c'est motivant de savoir que j'aurai à nouveau la chance de montrer mon talent devant eux. Je suis reconnaissant pour le soutien continu tout au long de mon parcours de boxe.”
Claggett, 28 ans (26-4-1, 17 KOs) a ressuscité sa carrière depuis qu'il a décidé de redescendre en super léger il y a trois combats, toutes les victoires,y compris une paire de décisions gagnantes en 10 rounds contre des adversaires auparavant invaincus, Yves Ulysse, Jr. (14-0) pour le titre vacant Fédération internationale de boxe (IBF) titre des super-légers en Amérique du Nord, aussi bien que Emmanuel Robles (15-0-1) pour l'Association mondiale de boxe vacant (WBA) Couronne ultralégère NABA USA. Aucun des titres de Claggett ne sera en jeu contre O'Connor.
“Beaucoup de gens ont l'impression que j'ai été amené en tant qu'adversaire de la face B pour ce match up, mais cela ne pourrait pas être plus éloigné de la vérité,” le Claggett non-stop expliqué. “Nous avons sélectionné Danny O'Connor peu de temps après mon dernier combat en octobre et avons travaillé sans relâche pour y arriver. J'ai hâte d'affronter quelqu'un qui se bat pour aller de l'avant. Personne ne va essayer de faire des claquettes sur St. Jour de Patrick.”
Tout comme son dernier combat en octobre dernier, dans lequel il a voyagé à Montréal et Ulysse, Jr. dans son jardin, Montréal, Claggett se bat à nouveau dans le jardin de son adversaire, seulement cette fois contre un Irlandais-Américain populaire à Boston sur St. Jour de Patrick.
“Pas de problème,” Claggett a commenté, “l'amener sur. Je n'ai peur d'aucun homme! Mon équipe va s'asseoir avec mon promoteur, KO Night Boxing, après ce combat pour regarder le prochain coup. Je m'attends à ce que je sois en mesure de me battre pour un titre mondial junior des poids mi-moyens assez tôt.
“Je suis très heureux de cette opportunité de montrer mes talents, en direct sur Super Channel, pour mon grand, fanbase de soutien au Canada. J'apprécie que Super Channel se mobilise pour permettre à ses téléspectateurs et à mes fans de se joindre à nous lors de cette grande soirée. Abonnez-vous à Super Channel pour vos sièges au premier rang sur St. Jour de Patrick.”
En cas de co-métrage de huit rondes, poids plume junior irlandais T.J. “Puissance” Doheny (18-0, 13 KOs), se battre hors d'Australie, met son record invaincu et son statut en danger en tant que non obligatoire. 1 prétendant à la Fédération Internationale de Boxe (IBF), contre l'ancienne organisation internationale de boxe (Champion du monde IBO “Mitraillette” Mike Oliver (26-7-1, 8 KOs, de Hartford.
Deux des plus prometteurs de la Nouvelle-Angleterre, perspectives invaincues, “Le Silent Assassin” William Foster III (6-0, 6-0 (5 KOs) et Irvin Gonzalez, sera présenté dans deux matchs de six rondes.
Un junior surdoué qui combat les poids légers de New Haven, CT, Foster affronte l'ancien champion WBC International des poids coq Entaille “Kanyankole” Otieno (31-13, 13 KOs), tandis que le champion UBF All-American des super-plumes Gonzalez, de Worcester, MA, rencontre un autre espoir poids plume invaincu, ougandais Sulaiman Segawa (9-0, 3 KOs), qui vit et s'entraîne maintenant à Silver Springs, Maryland.
Tous les combats et les combattants sont sujets à changement.
