Ось те, що бійці повинні були сказати про збори, each other and more:
How has training camp gone for this fight?
Хав'єр Фортуна: I’m having an excellent training camp. We’re working hard and figuring out how to break down my opponent. Hector Bermudez does a great job and I’m very comfortable training here in Boston. I’ve gotten great sparring with guys like Will Madero and Alden Whatley. I’m going to be just as strong in the final round as I was in the first.
Омар Дуглас: “Навчання триває вже дуже добре. I was already working and staying sharp, because I knew a big fight was on the horizon. Training in Delaware with Douglas Petitford has been great for me and I’ve had incredible sparring. I’ve been in there getting rounds with (2016 U.S. Олімпієць) Gary Antuanne Russell and a veteran in Hank Lundy.
What do you think of your opponent and how do you see this fight going stylistically?
JF: “Douglas is a prospect who has looked pretty good coming up. He wants to get to where I’ve been. He might be looking past me. I think that his style fits my style perfectly. I’m going to have openings and I just need to take advantage.
OD: Fortuna is a very decent and explosive fighter. He’s a former world champion and I expect him to stand up and get back what he thinks is his. He wants his rematch with Sosa and we are in each other’s way. He’s a frontrunner in the ring. He will try to start strong and I am prepared for whatever he brings to the table. Whether he boxes or fights me. I will make adjustments.
What kind of problems does your opponent pose?
JF: The only problem that he will pose is if he doesn’t show up and fight. I’m ready for anything he can bring, so I hope he’s ready to give the fans a show.
OD: He moves well. I can’t let myself get off-balanced trying to chase him. He’s awkward but I know that my jab will neutralize his strengths.
What are you looking for in the future if you can get the win on November 12? What are your goals for 2017?
JF: I want to fight the best out there. My first choice is a rematch with Jason Sosa so that I can win my belt back. I’d love to fight Vasyl Lomachenko. I don’t think he’s fought a guy quite like me yet.
OD: I want to fight for a world title. That’s the goal. He is a former champion who just lost his title and 2017 is my year to make a run for a title.
How have you improved as a fighter since your loss? Do you believe a win over Douglas proves you’re still one of the best in the division?
JF: I have learned a lot of things since I lost. My defense and my confidence in myself has improved. If I can beat a guy who is 22-0 and make it two wins over previously unbeaten fighters, then I think I’m right back in contention. He’s still considered a prospect so I think whoever wins will be a contender at the top of the division.
How does fighting in Philadelphia motivate you, having fought there in the amateurs and being from nearby Delaware?
OD: In the amateurs I was one of the only guys from Delaware. I had a lot of obstacles. I’ve been fighting against Philly’s best fighters for years. Philadelphia is where I achieved my first goals in the sport and it will always be special to me to fight in Philly.
Why do you believe you’ll be victorious on fight night?
JF: With the work that I’ve been putting in, I know that I will be ready on fight night. I’ve been through too much not to leave the ring victorious.
OD: I’ve been waiting for this moment for all my life and I believe I am the hungrier fighter. He doesn’t want it as badly as I do. I’ve been waiting in the shadows for a long time. I have all the skills necessary to get the job done.

Boxing trainer Orlando Cuellar goes Back to the Future at 5th St. Спортзал

МАЯМІ (Жовтень 26, 2016) — Internationally renowned boxing trainer Орландо Куельяр has come full circle, right back to the famed 5ї Вулиця. Gym in South Beach, where he once visited as a teenager to learn and now trains fighters out of six days a week.
Born in Havana, Куба, Cuellar’s family resettled in Miami when he was three with Orlando living there through high school. Як боксер-любитель, Cuellar vividly remembers watching boxers at 5ї Вулиця. Gym such as Кассіус Клей, Віллі Пастрана, Vinnie Curto і Florentino Fernandez, as well as legendary trainers, брати Angelo і Кріс Данді.
I watched and learned, picking up as much as much as I could,” Куельяр сказав. “Зараз, I find myself working out of the 5ї Вулиця. Gym for the past six weeks. It’s been an incredible experience. Кожен день, you never know who is going to walk through the doors there. It’s been one of the best boxing gyms in the world for more than 50 роки. From the days dating back to Мухаммед Алі, fighters have been attracted to this gym because of its rich history and great sparring, as well as to the area with South Beach’s restaurants, clubs and beach. The warm, humid weather also makes it easier for fighters to lose weight running and training.
“(Owner) Діно Спенсер is carrying on the 5ї Вулиця. Gym’s tradition. Everyday I’m there is exciting for me. Mixed ethnic groups train there and it’s a magnet for talent. There’s sparring three days a weekI call it Spar-a-ramaand everybody’s welcome to challenge themselves. The sparring is better than a lot of TV fights.
“5ї Вулиця. Gym trainer Гай Laieta had been trying to convince me to join the team for the last five years. I spoke to Dino on several occasions, expressing my desire to train fighters out of the 5ї Вулиця. Спортзал. Він сказав, ‘Let’s do it.The success of the 5ї Вулиця. Gym today has a lot to do with ownership. Dino has a passion for boxing and he is very hospitable, which trickles down to his staff and fighters. Good vibes all of the time!”
Cuellar left for Las Vegas in 1976 і, after he realized that being a boxer wasn’t in his best interest, he started training fighters there in 1981 out of Johnny Garcia’s Gym. Через рік, he shifted his base Brooklyn and started training fighters out of another boxing icon, Тренажерний зал Глисона. В 2000, he resettled in Miami.
Best known as world light heavyweight champion the head trainer of Глен Джонсон, Cuellar also worked with future champions such as Nicolas Walters, Rances Бартелемі і Erslandy Lara, а також Luis Franco, Аарон Девіс і Хуан Карлос Гомес, to name a few of the more notables. Сьогодні, he’s the chief second for several top fighters including Антоніо Тарвер.
Recognized throughout boxing as a superior teacher, Cuellar’s success is mostly attributed to his training of fighters on an individual basis, focusing on their personal needs rather than giving all fighters the same instructions and attention.
Each fighter needs personal and specific work to complement their God-given talents,” Cuellar explained. “You can’t teach all fighters the same way. I specialize on what I call old school meets new school. Old school was upfront and personal to go 15 раундів, new school is about throwing more punches, more foot movement and fighting from the outside. I teach doffense: defense + offense. Punches aren’t vitamins, none should be taken. Boxing is little more than a battle of reflexes; one fighters versus another, but the real trick is how the fighter uses his reflexes. I teach my fighters how to turn the ring apron into a minefield.
Boxing has played a huge role in Cuellar’s life. Back in the 5ї Вулиця. Gym is just another chapter in his unique life.
I live through my fighters,” Cuellar concluded. “Every victory is my proudest moment. There are no big or little victories, every win is a happy moment because of all the hard work and sacrifices me and my fighter made during training camp.
Orlando Cuellar is thrilled to have gone back to the future.

Ed Williams, Nephew of Former World Champion Duane Thomas, Will Appear on Salita Promotions‘Detroit Brawl

As a kid, watching his uncle, former WBC World Super Welterweight Champion Duane Thomas fight on TV, Detroit’s Ed Williams used to dream of becoming a boxer.
That’s where he and his mother disagreed.
I always wanted to box,” laughs Williams, “but my mother wouldn’t let me fight until I was older. My uncle even came and tried to sneak me to the gym a few times, but my mom would never let me. She just wouldn’t let me train.
When Williams turned 17, he was finally able to box and made the most of it, збирається 57-9 as an amateur and winning two State Championships, the Ringside Nationals and two Detroit Golden Gloves before turning professional in 2007.
Williams won his first two fights before leaving boxing to obtain a B.Sc degree in Industrial Engineering at Eastern Michigan University. But after working in the field a few years, Williams felt the pull once again that he’d felt since childhood.
He wanted to be a boxer, full-time and give it a shot.

My goal in boxing,” сказав Вільямс, “is to become the second guy in my family to win a world title. Зараз, I want to have the right fights to have that opportunity. I’ve been progressing and having challenging fights and getting good opportunities, so things are going well.
Williams is, admittedly, not your typical fighter.
I have a boxing style that is awkward. It’s not a traditional style at all. I fight with an off-beat tempo that throws you off. And I’m tall and long, so I box you and use my jab and then I set up shots.
While Williams says he has no regrets with his decision to pursue fighting, someone in the family does have a few
My mom now says she wishes she would have let me do it sooner. But I understand. She didn’t want me to get hurt and was just being protective. Now she’s my biggest fan.
