Here is what the participants had to say Tuesday:
LEO SANTA CRUZ
My dad is my trainer full-time. He’s always been the one who knows how to point out and correct the mistakes I make in training. I think having him full-time will be a big difference. He will push me more.
I think I have to land more clean punches this time. I’m going to work the body more and break him down. I’m going to sit on my punches a lot better. I couldn’t land my punches clearly and with enough power.
I’m excited because Las Vegas is like my second hometown. I’ve fought there throughout my career. They give me great support. I know that when I’m tired and hear them scream, it will give me the energy to go the distance.
I don’t think I had trouble adjusting to fighting on the East Coast. But there aren’t as many Mexican fans over there; so hopefully I will have some more support this time. None of that really matters once we get into the ring though. It’s just me and Carl in there.
I have the loss in my head. I don’t just want to do it for myself. I want to do it for everyone who has doubted me. Once I prove them wrong and win this fight, then I’ll be proud of myself.
I’m going to fight like this is for my first world title. I’m going up there as a nobody and I’m going to go make a name for myself. I’m coming with that kind of hunger.
I’m going to show everyone what I’ve been working on. I want to prove that I’m better than Carl Frampton. If everything works out, we’ll get the victory.
My fans have kept me motivated and given me the hunger to go out there and reclaim my title. That’s what I want to do. I hope it’s another Fight of the Year, but this time I will get the victory.
I feel stronger since the last fight and I’ve been preparing for everything. We’re sparring some bigger guys just to keep me prepared. We have strong, fast and heavy opponents. Carl Frampton won’t have anything we aren’t ready for.
LEAVE ZLATICANIN
If Garcia tries to go toe-to-toe or stay in the center of the ring, I will knock him out. If he tries to jab and move, then I will have to find my way to his head and break him down.
“Trainingslager nun schon groß. I feel very good. I can’t wait to get in the ring and perform. I’m proud to be on a show like this against a star like Mikey Garcia.
It is a big deal to be the first boxing champion from Montenegro. I’ve lived the dream that I’ve had since I was a child and first stepped into a boxing gym.
I’m not worried about Garcia’s layoff. That is something he has to worry about. I just have to focus on Januar 28. I believe that I will be victorious.
All of the fans are going to enjoy this fight and they will see me successfully defend my world title.
I feel great training out here in Los Angeles. It’s totally different from in Europe and this style of working and training has really helped me.
I change my style for every fighter. Each fighter is totally different and you can’t fight any two guys the same way. You have to adjust.
A champion needs to fight everyone. That’s what I believe. There are some champions right now who do not want to face me.
Mikey Garcia is already talking about fights with Manny Pacquiao and Vasyl Lomachenko, but he hasn’t gotten past me. He has a big test in the ring and I am going to stop him.
I am very motivated by Garcia talking about future fights. I will show everybody that the talk means nothing. They will see everything in the ring.
Mikey GARCIA
I’m picking up right where I left off. My second fight back and I get to fight against an undefeated world champion. The quality of Zlaticanin means a lot more to me than picking up a world title. I’m super motivated for this win and to make this a great year.
“Dies ist eine große Gelegenheit für mich,. It’s a very dangerous fight. That’s why I took it. These are the kind of challenges that I want. I’m ready to prove to everybody that I’m back right where I belong.
I’m not overlooking Zlaticanin, but everybody else seems to be. People ask me about what I’d want for future fights, but I know how dangerous this guy is. Anything could happen. But I know that I have what it takes to beat him. Er hat die Macht, but I also have power. The best man is going to win that night.
Becoming an undefeated world champion like my opponent doesn’t come easy. It happens for a reason. He may be not as known to the casual fan, but anybody can tell you how dangerous he is. Some people think it’s a little too much for me right now. But I’m ready to prove everybody wrong and take on this challenge.
I have to prepare for anything. I’m not there to dictate pace or anything, I’m there to make sure I win at all costs. I’m ready to fight any style and beat Dejan on Januar 28. This is a great way to get back in the position I want to be in.
I expect him to come in and try to knock my head off. He’s a power puncher and that’s what he does. If he wants to pressure me, I’ll be ready for that.
I never felt like I left. I was inactive from fighting but I never stopped training. The intensity is fully picked up right now. This is my job and this is what I need to do to win this fight.
I’m ready to turn up the notch and focus in on having a great training camp. I have a great team and we’ve had quality sparring. It’s been a fantastic camp.
You have all of the elements here for a great fight. My opponent is hungry, he’s ready and undefeated. I’m more motivated than ever. So you know it’s going to be a great fight.
Richard Schaefer, Vorsitzende & CEO von Ringstar Sport
The first fight between Santa Cruz and Frampton was, meiner Meinung nach, the Fight of the Year. We have two other world title fights on this card and top to bottom it’s one of the best cards I can remember. I’m going to make sure I’m in my seat early.
Mikey Garcia has the potential to become the biggest superstar in the sport. He has a great personality and can really fight. All the ingredients are there. Here he has a very tough fight though. Zlaticanin is the ‘King Kong’ von Montenegro. He’s a dangerous puncher and it’s going to be a great fight.
It’s a great card but if I had to pick one fight to steal the show, it would Zlaticanin vs. Garcia. That is going to be a spectacular knockout, die eine oder die andere.
The main event is as good as it gets. It’s going to pick up in round 13. Leo knows that he has to make adjustments. He knows he wasn’t at his best the first time. He was out of his comfort zone and had distractions. If Leo is properly prepared physically and mentally, then he should come out victorious.
Leo knew as soon as the results were read that he wanted the rematch. That’s the kind of mindset he has. He knows that he’s a better fighter than he showed in July. He knows what he needs to do.
By becoming Fighter of the Year, and everything that comes with it, Frampton is flying high. This is a guy who is now a pound-for-pound great fighter. He worked all his life for that spot and he doesn’t want to give it up. For the UK fighters, fighting in Las Vegas is the pinnacle of the sport. I think there will be a lot of Irish people there and I just can’t wait for the first bell to ring.
JOSE SANTA CRUZ, Santa Cruz zum Vater & Trainer
“Ich fühle mich wirklich gut. My cancer is dormant right now and I feel like I’m recuperating and getting back to my normal self. I’m making sure that everything is fine and I’m doing well with the doctors. Right now everything on the health forefront is good.
I am happy to be part of Leo’s training camp again. I think that was the major difference in his last fight. I’m back pressuring him again and making sure he keeps the pressure on his opponent. I think my presence in the gym reminds him of the work he needs to do.
Leo wasn’t defending the way that he should have in the last fight, he kept throwing punches without blocking. He was throwing sluggish, slow punches. I’m getting him back on point and making sure that he doesn’t let up.
ROBERT GARCIA, Garcias Bruder & Trainer
Dejan Zlaticanin is a very strong fighter, not only physically, but mentally. We’re training like never before. We’ve been training hard for two months and preparing for a really tough fight. This fight is a big fight and it brings even bigger ones after.
Mikey wants these big challenges. Zlaticanin is a polished champion with tremendous power. The challenge is ahead of him. There are so many big names at lightweight and other weight classes. His goals are to get there, and it starts with this fight.
It’s been a few years since Mikey’s last fight in Las Vegas so it’s really exciting to be on the card headlined by Frampton-Santa Cruz 2. We know it’s going to be a huge crowd and they’ll be supporting Mikey. Mehr, with all the Frampton fans that will be there, we know that it’s going to be an incredible atmosphere. Mikey knows this is the beginning of huge things. After this, Mikey will be the one headlining.

Here is what the participants had to say on Tuesday:
Adrien Broner
I’ve fought at home a lot and to come back with another fight like this is an awesome feeling. I know it’s going to be a great night. It’s going to be a great night for Cincinnati and for my career.
We’ve brought Granados into camp for sparring before but I’m a much different fighter now. I know he is too and I think it’s going to make an exciting, explosive fight. Granados is no pushover. He’s not an opponent that anybody can just pick up a win. I knew Adrian Granados will bring the best out of Adrien Broner.
I know that I have what it takes to take over boxing. To do that I need to focus 100 percent on boxing and crafting my skills. That’s my mindset and that’s what I’m focused on.
I’m here to do less talking, and more fighting and smiling. I’m going to put on a great show on Februar 18. It’s all about putting on great performances and winning.
I go into every fight with the confidence to be myself. If I do what I have to do, I can be victorious. Granados is coming to fight. I have to be focused because he won’t lay down.
It’s just about me doing better. It’s about changing for the better and being as positive as can be. I’m not bringing negativity to anything I do.
I won’t have any distractions fighting at home. I know how to block everything out and stay focused on what’s in front of me.
I’ve been on the downside and the upside of boxing, but my name has made it through. I’m not going to take my talent for granted and I’m going to change for the better.
It’s great to have Floyd and Mayweather Promotions involved in this event. Floyd has always supported me and I owe him a lot. He’s really been a mentor to me. He’s helped me stay level-headed throughout everything.
Right now I’m all about my future, meine Kinder, my team and putting on a great performance as a boxer. I’m always going to be entertaining, because I’m always going to be me.
ADRIAN GRANADOS
I’m confident that I’m more determined than any other fighter I’ll face. I’ll also have a few tricks up my sleeve on fight night. I haven’t shown everything in my arsenal.
I was in camp with Adrien Broner when he fought Marcos Maidana, so I know him pretty well. I’ve been compared to Maidana, but everyone has their own style. I’m going to get this win my own way.
I’m focused on what I have to do as a fighter. We have different weapons and we can mix it up and fight in different ways. The accumulation of my punches can wear a fighter down.
It’s a great honor to be here and I’ve let Adrien know that I’m grateful for the opportunity. This is a great fight for boxing. There are a lot of great big fights out there and our fight isn’t as well-known, but if you know boxing, you know that I come to win.
Adrien Broner is a great fighter. He’s a four-division champion and that’s no fluke. He’s fought everybody at the championship level. Now he’s giving me this opportunity and I’ve let it be known that the best man will win.
We’re going to wait and see round by round. I don’t like going to the judgesscorecard and fighting in his hometown, I’m going to try to get a knockout. I have to do anything in my power to keep the fight out of the judges’ Hände.
I’ve mostly fought at home in Chicago but I’ve always wanted a tough challenge on the road like this. I’m excited to step into someone’s backyard and be the villain who ruins the day.
FLOYD MAYWEATHER, Präsident von Mayweather Promotions
These are going to be two hungry lions in the ring, and that’s what it’s all about. It’s about giving the people entertainment. Adrien Broner is flashy, flamboyant and outspoken. He’s still young and has a lot to go out there and prove. He doesn’t just want to show that he’s one of the best, but that he’s the best in the sport.
You have to go out there every day and prove you’re the best. Adrian Granados is always in action-packed fights and he brings excitement. This is a great matchup. These guys know that they aren’t fighting pushovers. It’s the best versus the best.
Both fighters have great trainers and great teams. I’ve helped pave the way for these guys, but so have these trainers. They’ve helped bring these men to this point. I think they both have potential to be stars.
The sport of boxing is so interesting and there are so many great fights coming up. This is an important fight for the sport in a stretch where there are a lot of exciting matchups.
I’m proud of Adrien Broner. He’s had a minor setback leading to major comeback. He’s going to come back better than ever. But he can’t overlook this opponent. You can look up and all of a sudden you’re down.
No one can overlook Adrian Granados. It’s a really good matchup. This guy definitely reminds me of Marcos Maidana. I don’t know if he can punch like him, but the style and aggressiveness is there. He’s always in action packed fights.
Adrien has speed and power, but I’m looking to see Adrien throwing combinations. That’s what some fighters lack nowadays. We think too much about ‘Money’ Mayweather, and forget about ‘Pretty Boy’ Floyd. Er hatte ein 90 percent knockout rate. I think we need to see an aggressive Adrien that will throw combinations while staying smart.
I love being a promoter and giving back to young fighters. I didn’t become a promoter to make money. I did it because I want to make money for fighters and make their dreams come true. My company is easy to work with, because we’re only focused on the fighters.
I want both fighters to give Cincinnati and the whole world a great fight. You’re young, hungry and dedicated. Show the world what you’re about.
Ravone LITTLE, CEO of About Billions
This is going to be a great fight for the city of Cincinnati. Adrien is undefeated when he fights in his hometown. We can’t wait to do it again.
It’s been a year since Adrien’s last fight in Cincinnati and we’re excited that the time is now. Es wird ein harter Kampf sein,. Adrien knows that Granados isn’t easy at all.
We’ve brought Granados in as a sparring partner before so we know what we’re up against. I think this is a perfect matchup for Adrien and the fans to enjoy a great night of action.
LEONARD ELLERBE, CEO von Mayweather Promotions
We know on Februar 18 that Adrien Broner is going to bring his best. He’s one of the top stars in the sport and I know that he’s going to put on a great show for his city.
Adrian Granados has only lost by split or majority decision, no one has ever dominated this man. We know that he’s going to be there to make this a competitive fight.
We’re looking forward to working with About Billions on making this a great, sold-out event. This venue is fabulous and we think it will be electric on fight night.
MIKE STAFFORD, Broner Trainer
Adrien has been training hard for this fight. This is about winning. Adrien wants to win and he wants to compete. This is a going to be an exciting and explosive fight.
This is going to be a great fight with a great undercard. It’s going to be a fun atmosphere and we hope that everyone comes out and supports us on Februar 18.”
GEORGE HERNANDEZ, Granados’ Trainer
Mike Stafford and I go all the way back to about 1978 at the Olympic training center. We’ve trained a lot of guys together and I know him very well. I’ve come here to bring fighters for sparring since Adrien Broner was a little kid.
Adrien Broner has the big name and every fighter needs a big name so that he can take that step up. It’s a business and we’ll mean business inside the ring.

Ringstar Sports Adds Amateur Star Money Powell IV to Growing Collection of Fighters Signed with Company

LOS ANGELES (Januar 10, 2017) – The rapidly-growing promotional company Rufen Sie Star Sports has added another fighter with star potential to their growing roster, as super welterweight standout Geld Powell IV has signed to join the company led by longtime boxing executive Richard Schaefer.
We’re excited to add a young man with the skills, amateur pedigree and demeanor of Money Powell IV and we think he’s going to be a great addition to the Ringstar family,” sagte Richard Schaefer, Vorsitzender und CEO von Ringstar Sports. “This is an incredibly talented young man who is ambitious and has a great mindset heading into the professional ranks. He has proven to be a winner throughout his amateur career and we believe that his skills, combined with the right promotion, can turn him into a big star in the sport. I know that he wants to be the best and I plan on helping him reach those goals.
When I was presented with the opportunity to sign with Richard and Ringstar Sports, I knew that it was a chance to achieve my dreams,” said Powell IV. “Richard is one of the most successful figures in the sport and I know that with him, I can go far. I want to be the greatest fighter that’s ever lived, but I also want to be remembered as a positive figure. I hope someday I can do for other people what Richard is doing for me. I’m going to be a champion inside and outside of the ring.
The 18-year-old Powell IV was born in Germany, where his former boxer father was stationed in the military. He was passionate about boxing from an early age, but was never able to fully dedicate himself because his family moved back and forth between Germany and the U.S. frequently. In 2011 the family landed for good at Fort Mitchell, on the border of Alabama and Georgia, and Powell began training at the Game Bred Boxing Club and saw his amateur career take off.
His first tournament victory came in 2014 when he won the Junior Open Welterweight Championship and finished the year as the number one ranked welterweight by USA Boxing. He continued to add titles as he won the 2015 Ringside World Welterweight Championship and the 2016 Youth Welterweight National Championship to earn the top ranking in the 152-pound division by USA Boxing.
I’m a boxer-puncher but I’m also a big-time thinker in the ring,” said Powell IV. “I take my time and capitalize off of mistakes. I’ve been able to meet and work with my boxing idol, Roy Jones Jr., and he’s given me encouragement and advice that has meant the world to me. Mark my words, I will be the greatest fighter of all-time.
Powell IV will turn pro and campaign as a super welterweight after 83 Amateur-Kämpfe, including recently participating in the AIBA Youth World Boxing Championships in Russia.

Mayweather Promotions is looking forward to co-promoting another event with About Billions, as Adrien Broner looks to put on a big show in his hometown of Cincinnati,” sagte Leonard Ellerbe, CEO von Mayweather Promotions. “We’re anticipating a big crowd to support Adrien as he takes on the very tough Adrian Granados, in addition to the exciting undercard bouts that should make this a great night of boxing at Cintas Center and live on SHOWTIME.
Adrian Granados has demonstrated his skill and his ability to compete in this sport multiple times,” sagte Tom Brown, Präsident der TGB Promotions. “This is proven with his record of huge upsets. I am confident that Februar 18 wird es nicht anders. It will be another win and another big upset.
27 Jahre alt, Broner is one of the most accomplished and outspoken young stars in the sport today. After picking up world titles at 130, 135 und 147 Pfund, Broner earned a belt in a fourth weight division in October 2015 when he defeated tough Russian Khabib Allakhverdiev via a stoppage in the 12th and final round in his last hometown appearance. Broner boasts a 9-1 record in world title fights on his way to picking up belts in four weight divisions. He will be fighting in his hometown for the 15th time in a pro career that has seen him defeat the likes of Paulie Malignaggi, Daniel Ponce De Leon, Ashley Theophane, John Molina Jr., Antonio DeMarco and Gavis Rees. Broner compiled a 300-19 amateur record under the guidance of his trainer Mike Stafford, who continues to train him throughout his pro career.
A tough fighter representing Chicago, Granados enters this fight on a five-bout winning streak, including his impressive stoppage over then unbeaten top contender Amir Imam in November 2015. Zuletzt, the 27-year-old dominated Ariel Vasquez over eight rounds in July. Granados has picked up wins over previously unbeaten fighters Mark Salser, Antonio Canas, Antton Slaughter and Imam. Granados’ defeats have all come in close contests and by either split or majority decisions. With a win over Broner, Granados can position himself for his first career world title shot.

"Ich habe DeGale ein paar Mal kämpfen sehen. Seine letzten Kämpfe, ich glaube nicht, dass wir das Beste von ihm gesehen haben. Ich möchte, dass der beste James DeGale in der Kampfnacht auftaucht. In der Kampfnacht wird es keine Ausreden geben.

 

"Ich bin in der besten Form meines Lebens. Ich bin mir ziemlich sicher, dass er auch in der besten Form seines Lebens ist. Mal sehen, wer der Beste ist.

„Dies war eines der besten Trainingslager meiner Karriere. Meine Ernährung ist besser als je zuvor und ich habe positive Menschen um mich.

 

„Ich glaube, ich kann jeden ausschalten, der mit mir in den Ring steigt. Wenn Sie das nicht an sich glauben, dann bist du im falschen Sport. Ich erwarte keinen leichten Kampf, Aber ich werde alles tun, um zu gewinnen.

 

"Mein Trainer Lou Del Valle ist der Grund, warum ich mich so stark verbessert habe. Ich habe ihn nach meinem Verlust zurückgebracht und er hat mir geholfen, dorthin zu gelangen, wo ich gerade bin.

 

"Es besteht kein Zweifel, dass wir wissen werden, wer das beste Super-Mittelgewicht der Welt ist." Samstag Nacht. "

 

James Degale

„Dieser Kampf hat ein anderes Gefühl. Ich fühle mich wie in einem großen Kampf. Ich habe das Gefühl, dass ich für diesen einen anderen Fitnesslevel habe. Verstand, Körper und Seele. Alles ist groß.

 

"Ich bin mental vorbereitet. Badou Jack ist ein extrem guter Kämpfer. Er ist ein harter Gegner. Er wird mit jedem Kampf besser. So wie ich mich gerade fühle, Badou Jack sollte mich nicht schlagen. Ich konzentriere mich darauf, mein Bestes zu geben.

 

"Ich habe viel geopfert, um mich in diese Position zu versetzen und um sicherzustellen, dass dies ein großartiges Lager war. Jetzt ist die Zeit da.

 

„Einen Medientag in Brooklyn zu haben, ist großartig. Ich bin in einer fantastischen Position in meinem Leben und meiner Karriere. Ich fühle mich wohler als vor Jahren. Früher wusste ich nicht, was ich sagen sollte. Ich bin jetzt ein Mann und ich bin bereit, mein Schicksal zu erreichen.

 

"Bewegung, Geschwindigkeit und Winkel sind meine Schlüssel. Wenn ich konzentriert bin und keine Runden mache, das sollte es tun. Es wird es tun. Alles kann passieren im Boxen, aber ich bin zu darauf vorbereitet.

 

„Ich sehe Badou Jack an, und obwohl es ihm besser geht, Ich denke, ich bin ein viel besserer Kämpfer. Er ist von sehr hoher Qualität und ich muss bei meinem Spiel sein. Es wird ein großer Kampf werden, aber ich werde siegreich sein.

 

„Mein Verlust gegen George Groves war ein Segen in der Verkleidung. Wenn mir das nicht passiert wäre, Ich weiß nicht, wo ich in meiner Karriere sein würde. Ich war damals zu groß für meine Stiefel. Ich dachte, ich wäre der goldene Junge und ich war demütig. Ich musste umbauen und bin zurückgekommen. “

 

Jose Pedraza

 

"Ich lasse [Gervonta] Davis redet. Ich mag es, wenn Leute so reden, weil ich sie in der Nacht des Kampfes zum Schweigen bringen darf. Er ist eine Floyd Mayweather-Imitation. Genau wie alle Nachahmungen, es ist nicht so gut wie das echte.

 

"Ich freue mich sehr, hier Puerto Rico in New York City mit einem anderen puertoricanischen Meister in Amanda Serrano zu vertreten. Sie ist eine vierfache Meisterin, die sehr erfolgreich ist, und es ist eine Ehre, mit ihr auf dieser Karte zu stehen.

 

„Ich fühle mich bereit zu kämpfen. Ich bin gespannt auf den Ring. Ich kann nicht warten, Samstag Nacht und um der ganzen Welt zu zeigen, woraus ich gemacht bin.

 

„Ich habe den Vorteil in Erfahrung und in Reichweite und Höhe. Er wird versuchen, Druck auszuüben, aber ich bin bereit dafür.

 

„Ich habe nicht nur mehr Pro-Erfahrung, aber auch mehr Amateurerfahrung. All diese Jahre auf der großen Bühne werden mir im Kampf helfen.

 

"Ich glaube nicht, dass ich unterschätzt werde. Die Leute kennen meine Qualität, Deshalb vermeiden es die Leute, gegen mich zu kämpfen. Ich glaube, ich bin der beste Kämpfer mit 130 Pfund.

 

"Ich bin bereit für jede Art von Kampf. Die Frage ist, wird Davis bereit sein? Wenn Davis müde wird, Er wird in den späten Runden Probleme haben. "

 

GERVONTA DAVIS

 

„Ich fühle mich jetzt großartig. Ich bin in Topform. Ich hatte das beste verfügbare Sparring und alles verlief reibungslos. Ich bin bereit zur Arbeit zu gehen Januar 14.

 

„Wir wissen, dass Pedraza ein Weltmeister ist, der ungeschlagen bleibt. Er macht viele gute Dinge im Ring, aber wir werden bereit sein, wenn sie in der Kampfnacht kommen.

 

„Es fühlt sich gut an, auf dieser Bühne zu stehen. Ich fühle mich bereit, meine eigene Karte zu überschreiben. Ich bin bereit, mein eigenes Ding zu machen, und das kommt mit dem Gewinn dieses Weltmeistertitels.

 

"Ich habe nicht zu viel von ihm gesehen, aber mein team ist vorbereitet. Er hat nichts, was ich vorher noch nicht gesehen habe. Wir müssen nur den Spielplan ausführen, wenn die Glocke läutet. “

 

YAZMIN RIVAS

 

"Ich weiß, dass ich gegen ein Mädchen antritt, das ein harter Schlagmann ist und hart schlagen kann. Ich habe extrem hart trainiert, um mich auf diesen Kampf vorzubereiten, weil ich weiß, dass ich vor einem gefährlichen Kämpfer stehe. Ich muss nur mein Gewicht bis zur Kampfnacht halten.

 

"Ich habe mit vielen Südpfoten trainiert, um mich auf Serranos Stil vorzubereiten. Es ist erst das zweite Mal, dass ich einer Südpfote gegenüberstehe. Ich komme mit einem Spielplan herein, aber sobald Sie in diesen Ring treten, Ich weiß, dass alles passieren kann.

 

"Ich bin ein Veteran und ich habe die Erfahrung. Serrano muss dort meinen Vorteil überwinden.

 

"Ich freue mich darauf, in den USA zu kämpfen. und ich weiß, dass dies eine große Chance ist. Kämpfe im Fernsehen muss ich ausnutzen. Nach diesem Kampf, Die Leute werden wirklich sehen, worum es beim weiblichen Boxen geht.

 

"Ich bin sehr motiviert und aufgeregt, dass ich die Chance habe, in Brooklyn in der besten Stadt der USA zu kämpfen. zum boxen. Ich werde kommen, um zu kämpfen. Ich werde nicht zurückweichen und wir werden mitten im Ring sein und uns austauschen. "

 

Ievgen KHYTROV

 

"Ich habe Aleem kämpfen sehen und er ist nichts Besonderes. Er ist sehr schnell. Er macht alles sehr schnell. Aber er kann getroffen werden. Er hat ein bisschen Kraft, aber ich kann ihn schlagen.

 

"Ich werde seine Fehler ausnutzen. Ich bin bereit für diesen Kampf und ich werde das Knockout anstreben. Dies wird kein langer Kampf. Ich denke, ich werde ihn in fünf oder sechs Runden ausschalten.

 

"Ich bin ein aggressiver Kämpfer. Ich möchte streiten. Ich möchte viele Schläge werfen. Ich bin froh, wenn ich werfen kann 100 Schläge in einer Runde. Niemand kann diese Art von Bestrafung ertragen und es hilft mir, meinen Gegner da rauszuholen.

„Ich möchte um einen echten Weltmeistertitel kämpfen. Ich bin bereit dafür und möchte mich nur guten Gegnern stellen und mich selbst herausfordern. "

 

IMMANUWEL ALEEM

 

„Das war ein großartiges Trainingslager. Ich habe George Peterson in meiner Ecke und er hat Paul Williams zum dreimaligen Champion gemacht. Er führt mich durch dasselbe Regime, das ihn zu einem der am meisten gefürchteten Kämpfer des Sports gemacht hat.

 

„Ich weiß nicht, zu viel über meinen Gegner. Wir haben einen Spielplan, der darauf basiert, dass er eine Art Bulle ist, aber mein Trainer ist derjenige, der das analysiert, und dann gehen wir von dort aus.

 

„Ich bringe das Gesamtpaket in den Ring. Es gibt nichts, was ich nicht tun kann. Ich kann boxen und ich kann prügeln. Am wichtigsten, Ich kann während eines Kampfes Anpassungen vornehmen.

 

„Ein Sieg hier wird wirklich prägen, wer ich in diesem Sport bin. Wir führen dazu, Weltmeister zu werden. Ich bin dort kein normaler Kämpfer. Ich kann diese Top-Jungs schlagen. “

 

JULIAN SOSA

 

"Ich kann ehrlich sagen, dass dies eines der besten Trainingslager ist, die ich je hatte. Ich bin sowohl nervös als auch aufgeregt. Ich bin nervös, weil ich noch nie so ein Trainingslager hatte und ich bin gespannt, wie ich mich im Ring fühle.

 

"Ich habe ein paar Bänder meines Gegners gesehen. Er ist ein sehr aggressiver Kämpfer, der viele rechte Hände wirft. Darauf muss ich mich vorbereiten. Wenn er früh anfangen oder sich Zeit nehmen will, Ich bin zu allem bereit.

 

"Ich bin sehr zuversichtlich, in diesen Kampf einzusteigen. Ich glaube, dass ich eine großartige Leistung erbringen werde und möglicherweise das Beste meiner Karriere.

 

"Ich bin sehr dankbar, dass ich zu Hause in Brooklyn kämpfe, und ich bin demütig, die Gelegenheit zu haben, wieder im Barclays Center aufzutreten. Es gibt kein besseres Gefühl, als wenn Ihre Freunde und Familie Sie anfeuern.

SHOWTIME SPORTS® ANNOUNCES ORIGINAL DOCUMENTARY “PRISON FIGHTERS: 5 Rounds To Freedom”

 

Film Examines Controversial Practice of Thai Inmates Fighting for Their Freedom

TRAILER LINK: http://s.sho.com/2iZJLSt

Uraufführungen Freitag, Februar 24 bei 8:30 p.m. UND/PT auf Showtime®

NEW YORK (Jan. 9, 2017)—SHOWTIME Sports® announced a powerful new documentary, PRISONFIGHTERS: 5 Rounds To Freedom, which examines a controversial practice in Thailand’s criminal justice system whereby inmates can earn their freedom by winning a series of Muay Thai fights. A SHOWTIME Sports original production, the 90-minute film will premiere on Freitag, Februar. 24 bei 8:30p ET/PT on SHOWTIME.

 

The state-sponsored rehabilitation program, popularly known as Prison Fight, is not reserved for petty criminals. Under the law, violent criminals, including those convicted of murder and sexual assault, have been freed and, in some cases, fully absolved of their crimes through their participation in Prison Fights.

 

“This story is unlike anything we’ve ever encountered,", Sagte Stephen Espinoza, Executive Vice President und General Manager, Showtime Sports. “Redemption is a common metaphor in sports stories, but this is a story about actual redemption and rehabilitation, with prisoners literally fighting for their release from prison. This film brings viewers inside a personal story of crime and punishment, set against a societal debate about the meaning of justice, rehabilitation and the opportunity for a second chance.”

 

Narrated by Ron Perlman, PRISON FIGHTERS centers on the story of Noy Khaopan, a convicted murderer serving time in the Khao Prik Prison in Thailand. Viewers will follow Noy’s journey through Prison Fight and hear from his family, as well as from the heartbroken family of Noy’s victim. Letztlich, Noy’s freedom rests on one final fight, which poses a critical question: Can violent men redeem themselves through violent acts?

 

But while Noy and other inmates fight literally for their freedom, the Prison Fight program has also attracted professional Muay Thai fighters from around the world eager to test themselves in this unique environment. American Cody Moberly of Wichita, Können., a professional fighter training and competing in Thailand with a redemption story of his own, serves as Noy’s opponent in the final high-stakes fight.

 

The film also focuses on former World Champion boxer “Oh” Sirimongkol Singwangcha, who now runs a training facility on the outskirts of Bangkok. Once considered Thailand’s Manny Pacquiao, “Oh” was convicted of drug possession years earlier, but earned his way to freedom through the Prison Fight system.

 

PRISON FIGHTERS: 5 Rounds To Freedom is produced by Sports Emmy® award winner Jason Bowers, written by author and Sports Emmy award-winning writer Mark Kriegel and directed by Micah Brown. PRISON FIGHTERS: 5 Rounds To Freedom is among several distinct and provocative documentaries available on SHOWTIME. Other recent titles include “RUNNING FOR HIS LIFE: The Lawrence Phillips Story”; “ONE & DONE” (Ben Simmons); “KOBE BRYANT’S MUSE,” “IVERSON,” “PLAY IT FORWARD” (Tony Gonzalez), “I AM GIANT: Victor Cruz,” “THE DREW” (Baron Davis), and “DEAN SMITH.”
