CITAS FINALES:

 

IVAN “THE BEAST” BARANCHYK:

"Estoy trabajando con un nuevo entrenador (Eduard Kravtsov) en Wild Card Gym. Tuvimos algunos errores con nuestro antiguo equipo y era hora de seguir adelante. Fue mi decisión seguir adelante.

 

"Tenemos mejores sparring ahora, un nuevo entrenador, nueva estrategia. Wild Card es una experiencia diferente. Tenemos un combate duro, entrenamiento duro. Fue un buen cambio.

 

"Sigo siendo el mismo luchador agresivo; Me adelanto y trato de detenerte. Solo estamos trabajando en algunas cosas nuevas, más combos, mejor defensa.

 

“Ramos es mi oponente más duro, pero estamos listos para todo lo que trae. Estamos listos para luchar por dentro, en el exterior.

 

"El plan de juego es conseguir la victoria. Eso es lo mas importante

 

"Las primeras dos rondas son las más peligrosas. Sabemos que es duro y experimentado. Necesitamos convertirlo en mi pelea, estilo.

 

"Mis dos últimas peleas se fueron a la distancia, pero fue bueno saber que puedo ir 10 rondas. Fue bueno tener esa experiencia.

 

"La gente se conecta conmigo aquí (en Miami, Oklahoma.). No puedo explicarlo, simplemente funciona ".

 

ABEL RAMOS:

"Iván es un luchador diferente. Sabemos con qué nos estamos metiendo allí y vamos a sentir su poder. Sus dos últimas peleas fueron a la distancia, por lo que no debe golpear tan fuerte.. Lo vamos a desgastar.

 

"Iván es agresivo, y puede ser explosivo a veces, pero comete errores. Pelea un poco salvaje.

 

"Creo que puedo empezar a preocuparlo. Vamos a poner a prueba su poder y decidir cómo necesito pelear.. Todavía no ha peleado con nadie a mi nivel..

 

"Tengo que ganar esta pelea. Esta es mi tercera vez en SHOWTIME y tengo que ganar. Tengo que hacer una declaración.

 

"He estado trabajando para acelerar el ritmo. Verás algo de eso mañana noche.

 

“Entrenamos con Sergey Lipenets, ayudándolo a prepararse para su pelea en diciembre. Esa fue una buena experiencia para nosotros.

 

"He aprendido mucho desde mi derrota ante Regis (Prograis - ShoBox, 2015). Estoy entrenando más duro, trabajando en el gimnasio, tomando esto más en serio.

 

"Estoy aquí para demostrar que he vuelto y estoy listo para los mejores. He tenido tres victorias por nocaut desde la derrota. Soy un luchador diferente ".

 

LENIN CASTILLO:

“Sabemos que Williams es un peleador agresivo que se presenta. He visto una cinta. Espero que se me acerque. Pero no es nada que nunca haya visto antes.

 

"Necesito presionar para que los jueces no tengan ninguna duda. Necesito pelear mi pelea.

 

"Creo que he luchado contra los mejores oponentes. Creo que mi experiencia va a marcar la diferencia.

 

“La calidad de los luchadores aquí (en los EE.UU.) es mejor que volver a casa (República Dominicana). Aquí es donde quiero pelear ahora ".

 

JOSEPH "MACK" WILLIAMS:

"Él (Castillo) tiene algunas peleas más, pero sobre todo en la República Dominicana, así que no sabemos qué tan bueno es en realidad.

 

"Él nunca ha peleado con alguien como yo. Va a venir con confianza porque está 15-0 con 10 KOs. Tiene confianza porque es olímpico. Pero nunca se ha enfrentado a nadie como yo..

 

"Puede que sea un olímpico, pero mira con quien peleé en los amateurs. Mira a los hombres a los que vencí. Y esos tipos son en su mayoría pesos crucero ahora. Soy mucho más fuerte en el peso semipesado.

 

"Este es el momento y el lugar adecuados para nosotros. Esta es una gran oportunidad.

 

"No creo que sea el mejor luchador que he enfrentado. Si lo golpeo limpio, no creo que llegue tan lejos. Voy a entrar allí con la mente abierta y explotar su debilidad..

 

"He bajado gradualmente de peso. Soy más rápido en el peso semipesado. Cuando estaba pesado me tomé mi tiempo. Soy más agudo, Más rápido. Solo soy una persona totalmente diferente.

 

"Siempre me comparo con James Toney. Puedo golpear fuerte, Puedo recibir un golpe, y soy hábil. Lo que veas dependerá de mi oponente. Si siento que es débil, Saltaré temprano. Puedo pelear, Yo puedo boxear. Soy explosivo ".

 

JON FERNANDEZ:

"Yo discutió con (Carl) Frampton en Las Vegas para el (León) Pelea de santa cruz. Fue una gran experiencia entrenar con él tres veces por semana.. Me dio más confianza saber que podía manejarlo..

 

"Garza tiene básicamente la misma altura que Frampton, así que será una ventaja.

 

"Sé que él va a venir a mí, y estamos listos para eso. Necesito mantener mi ritmo y que sea una pelea entretenida. Creo que mi poder y velocidad serán la diferencia.. Lanzo muchos golpes.

 

“Esta pelea significa mucho para mí. Ambos somos buenos luchadores y la exposición televisiva significa mucho. Es una buena oportunidad y necesito aprovecharla ".

 

ERNESTO GARZA:

"Le daremos algo que nunca ha visto antes. Vamos a llevar la acción.

 

"Siempre he sido un luchador agresivo. Me gusta traer la presión.

 

"Me he enfrentado a tipos tan altos como él antes, Luché contra un tipo que medía 6 pies 2. Sé que necesito entrar con un tipo como este.

 

"He visto muchas de sus peleas, y no creo que sea un golpeador rápido. El siempre pelea el mismo estilo, y sus oponentes siempre están ahí para tomar. No voy a estar ahí para que él golpee así.

 

"Esta es mi oportunidad. Esta es una gran oportunidad para mí ”.

Here is what Washington had to say Jueves from Pullman’s Gym in Burbank:
GERALD WASHINGTON
We’ve had a great training camp and I’m feeling good. We got the fight on short notice but we had been training for a while, so I’ll be prepared.
If Deontay showboats in the ring with me, I’m going to hit him in his mouth. Deontay better take me seriously. Because I am real and I’m coming.
This fight came at the perfect time for us. We’re looking forward to the opportunity to compete. We’re always ready. This is our life and we love to be here.
We have more than a puncher’s chance. We do a lot of different training, drills and mental work to get ready for this fight. Every fight I’ve had has prepared me for this moment. My fight against Amir Mansour was the turning point of my career. I learned some good lessons and I’m looking to have a great performance.
Deontay has his opinion on if I’m ready, but everyone has certain tests in life they have to pass. I’m ready to test myself against the best.
‘I’ve worked hard from day one in the sport to get to where I am. I’ve had to learn my lessons and take my time to get to a point where I can be in a fight like this. I’m grateful for the process I’ve had to get here.
My dream would be to fill-up the L.A. Coliseum. I’d love to fight as a heavyweight world champion there. That building has a lot of history. I want to bring my world title belt back to USC and put it there with all of those Heisman trophies. This will make my legacy there.
I have so much to fight for and to push me and drive me towards my goal. If I focus on those things, it’ll give me everything I need to keep pushing forward.
I’m not worried about Deontay’s knockouts. I’m going to take care of my business. I know what my job is and what my goal is. I’m putting my head down and getting to work.
JOHN PULLMAN, Washington’s Trainer
This is an exciting opportunity. Everything had to play out perfectly for us to get this shot. You can’t argue with destiny. We didn’t expect it to happen like this, but our team culture is to always stay ready, so you don’t have to get ready.
The major separation between Deontay Wilder and Gerald is that Gerald is the smarter fighter. He knows how to adapt and it’s going to make a big difference in this fight.
Gerald is going to win this fight. How he wins, I don’t like to say and put any unnecessary pressure on us. But all I can say is, he’s going to win.

Undefeated Light-Heavyweight Prospect Ahmed Elbiali Back In The Gym After Year-Long Layoff, Targets March Return

MIAMI, Florida (Febrero 9, 2017)After fracturing his hand last year, unbeaten light heavyweight prospect, Ahmed Elbiali (14-0, 11 KOs), is back in the gym. Elbiali suffered the setback in his last bout against Andrew Hernandez, a fight that took place in January of 2016. The Miami based fighter is looking to come back in March, in a bout that most likely will be televised.
The hand is one hundred percent healed and I’m ready to get back in the mix,” Said Ahmed Elbiali. “It’s been over a year since I’ve been back in the ring, but during the time off, I really focused on staying in shape. I didn’t let the layoff affect me in a way where I was going to be depressed. I worked on a lot of other aspects of my game that I feel I’ve improved on. Now it’s time to get back in there and march toward a world title.
Elibial was on the fast track to the top of the light heavyweight division. He started off his career with nine straight knockouts. In his last two fights, both 8-round bouts, he’s went distance. That experience has helped him gain confidence in his ability to go deep in fights.
When I first turned professional, I had a lot of early knockouts,” Elbiali continuó. “It was nice getting my opponent out of there early but I didn’t know who my body would react if I had to go deep into fights. Así, the fact that I was able to go the full eight rounds in my last two fights, gives me confidence going into the next chapter of my career. Ahora mismo, I’m just eager to get back in the ring and shake off the rust. Sé que con el trabajo duro, I’ll have an opportunity to become a world champion. That is the ultimate goal.

Determined Super Flyweight Jose Alfredo ‘ToritoRodriguez Not Letting Shoulder Injury Derail his Goal of Winning Second World Championship

Former interim WBA Light Flyweight Champion Jose AlfredoToritoRodriguez says he’s disappointed that a dislocated shoulder ended his recent world title challenge, but promises to be back as soon as his rehab is complete.

En enero 29 at the Cotai Arena, Venetian Resort in Macao, China, Rodríguez (32-5, 19 KOs) challenged IBF World Super Flyweight Champion Jerwin “Pretty Boy” Ancajas of the Philippines. 27-year-old Rodriguez injured his right shoulder in round two, but fought on courageously for five more rounds before the referee stopped the fight, per doctor’s orders before round eight.
It was a disappointing result for Rodriguez, whose goal was to win his second world title for the people of Mazatlan, Sinaloa, where he lives.
I worked so hard for this opportunity,” said a dissatisfied Rodriguez. “I had all the confidence and training I needed. But then his head collided with my shoulder accidentally in round two and I felt a pop. I knew at that moment my fight was over. After that I was fighting a skilled champion using only one arm.
Rodriguez says he’s already hard at work on healing and re-strengthening the injured arm, with a goal of returning for another shot at a belt.
I will not let this bad luck stop me from my goal to win another world championship. Si algo, this only makes me want it more. I will be back to fight whoever I have to, to get back to a world title fight and this time, god willing, win.
Rodriguez’s manager, José A. Acevedo of Free Agent Boxing Management, says he’s proud of his fighter, no matter the outcome of his last fight.

Jose fought for 15 minutes against one of the division’s best fighters with a dislocated shoulder. The pain he must have fought through is unimaginable. I admire his dedication and courage. He is a true warrior. He will be back. Thank you to the IBF and the people of China and to the team of Jerwin Ancajas for the opportunity they gave us.

World ranked Cruiserweight Kevin Lerena stops Meroro in 5

PARA PUBLICACION INMEDIATA

Filadelfia, Pensilvania / Johannesburgo, Sudáfrica (Febrero 8, 2017)–Este pasado Sábado noche , World ranked cruiserweight Kevin Lerena stopped Vikapita Meroro in the 5th round of their scheduled 10-round bout at The Emperors Palace in Gauteng, Sudáfrica.

Lerena, who is ranked number-5 by the WBO,number-11 by the WBC, and number-13 by the WBA dropped Meroro in the 1st round and won each round until Meroro surprisingly quit in round five.

The win was Lerena’s 6th consecutive victory.
The stoppage came as a shock, which led promoter Rodney Berman to withhold Meroro’s purse.
“El lo dejó, simple y llanamente,” raged Berman, who insisted Meroro was in no imminent danger.
We have an obligation to the public to produce good fights. The public pay good money, Emperors Palace pays good money and SuperSport pays good money. I can’t overlook that,” said Berman.
As I didn’t really get going, I’d give myself six out of 10. The minute I dropped him in the first round, he went into defensive mode,” said Lerena. “When a guy comes to fight, I show my true ability. It frustrates me when they don’t . . . Me gusta la lucha contra. We did expect more, pero ¿qué puede hacer?”
I was disappointed. No, I was angry. I wanted to beat him up. I started going to the body from round four. I was planning and building towards a conclusive finish. I’d rather get knocked out than quit, like Meroro did.
I’m lucky, I have a big following. The fans paid a lot of money to watch me and many tuned in to television, but they never got a full show because Meroro quit. People understand, I’m coming to wreck my opponents. I’m not there for the pay day. I come to win.
I trained hard. Now I’m just focused on what’s next. I’m hoping for a fight date in America, the sooner the better. I want a good fight and a good opponent. I love hard fights; I never want to have easy fights. I just want to win and look good doing so.
Kevin got the win, and he dominated the fight,” said Matt Rowland, Vice President of Banner Promotions.
He continues to win and move up the rankings, and our partner Rodney Berman and us will discuss the next move for Kevin. We can see him fighting for a world title in the not too distant future.
