NOVA IORQUE (Junho 22, 2016) – Their peers in the welterweight division – campeões do mundo, former champions, contenders and top prospects – can’t pick a definitive winner between defending WBA 147-pound king Keith “Uma Vez” Thurman (26-0, 22 KOs) e ex-campeão do mundo “Altura De Começar” Shawn Porter (26-1-1, 16 KOs).
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 Sábado eagerly awaited main event of a SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® on CBS event, presented by Premier Boxing Champions (9 p.m. E/6 p.m. PT) at Barclays Center is going to be an intense, emocionante, tight fight from start to finish that could go either way.
Here’s how the boxers see “Thurman vs. Desgaste”:
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 luta, 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. (Invicto 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 (Invicto 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): “É uma luta muito emocionante. 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. Vamos ver. This is boxing.”

BP Gym.jpg

No June 4, Perrella destroyed previously unbeaten two time National Golden Gloves champion David Grayton on ESPN. Rather than go on vacation or celebrate his victory, Perrella immediately wanted to resume training. At the advice of his team, he took a short period of time off before getting back into the gym less than two weeks after his career best victory.

Even though he’s currently waiting to get the word on his next fight date, the 27-year-old Fort Myers native believes he’ll be in another televised bout in the coming months. Naturalmente, his immediate goal is to raise his record to 15-0 while continuing to fight his way into the upper echelon of the 147 divisão libra.

“I live, eat and sleep boxing,” said Perrella. “This is what I do for a living and I take my career seriously. Since I’m moving up and believe I’m ready to take a big step forward in the welterweight division, there’s no time to waste. I don’t have any vices and stay in shape year round. Próxima luta, I’ll be even better and want there to be no doubt in anybody’s mind that I’m one of the next stars in the welterweight division.”
Fans can follow Bryant on Twitter @Bryantperrella.
Information on Perrella’s next move will be available in the near future.

Deontay WILDER
“Esta vai ser uma luta emocionante para todos. São dois pesos pesados ​​perigosos. Dois caras que lutam com seus corações. Vai ser uma luta cheia de ação do começo ao fim.
“As pessoas disseram que Arreola não merece o tiro, mas quem são eles para dizer coisas sobre um homem que cada vez que entra no ringue, luta com o coração dele.
“Eu sinto que esta é uma ocasião especial. É uma luta de curta duração. Muitos caras disseram que pegariam, mas usou o curto prazo como desculpa. Demora muito para montar uma luta. Mas quando você consegue alguém que pode tirar o melhor proveito disso e fazer um grande show, é um trabalho bem feito.
“Há apenas um nome que pode fazer com que isso seja o que é. Cada vez que ele pisa no ringue, ele vem para lutar. Acho que escolhemos a pessoa certa.
“Essa vai ser uma grande luta para os fãs de boxe. Decidi voltar para casa por causa de todas as viagens que fiz preparando para a luta dos Povetkin. Estou animado por estar no meu quintal e ter um grande apoio atrás de mim. Eu não vou quebrar sob a pressão.
“Os fãs farão o seu dinheiro valer a pena. São dois lutadores duros e determinados que estão tentando arrancar a cabeça um do outro.
“Esta foi a minha dispensa mais longa. Eu queria ser um campeão ativo desde que ganhei o cinturão. Quando uma porta se fecha, outro abre.
“Cabe a Chris aproveitar essa oportunidade. Ele tem sua própria história que pode fazer e isso vai significar muito para ele.
“Minha mentalidade é ir de tudo para fora. Tudo que eu digo, Eu realmente acredito. Eu não preciso que ninguém acredite em mim, porque eu acredito em mim.
“Eu tenho um cara na minha frente que está tentando me impedir de chegar ao próximo nível. Eu prometo que essa vai ser uma luta excelente.”
Chris Arreola
“Eu sou grato por esta oportunidade. Muitas pessoas dizem que eu não mereço essa luta pelo título. Muitas pessoas disseram que Deontay não merecia sua chance pelo título. eu disse isso. Mas quando ele conseguiu, ele tirou o máximo proveito disso. Ele venceu o cara que me venceu.
“Ele defendeu seu título e fez tudo o que você deveria fazer como um campeão. Eu o respeito muito. Não tenho nada a perder e tudo a ganhar.
“Eu estou indo para o quintal dele. Eu estou bem com as pessoas não me reconhecendo lá fora. Ele vai lidar com os pedidos de ingressos e eu só vou me concentrar em derrotar Deontay Wilder.
“Eu não estou lutando contra os fãs, no final do dia somos eu e Deontay Wilder naquele ringue. Isso é o que eu sei sobre este esporte, há muita conversa, mas no final do dia, é corpo a corpo.
“Sou abençoado por ter esta oportunidade e vou aproveitá-la ao máximo.”

Unbeaten IBF World Heavyweight Champion Anthony Joshua, Invicto, World-Ranked Challenger Dominic Breazeale International Media Conference Call Highlights

Deixe um comentário

“That’s what the Americans love. They like knockouts and I won’t let them down” – Anthony Joshua

“I can’t wait to get in the ring and shock the world” – Dominic Breazeale

Breazeale Challenges Joshua This Sábado, Junho 25,
On SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL Live on SHOWTIME®
From The O2 in London

NOVA IORQUE (Junho 20, 2016) – Undefeated IBF Heavyweight World Champion Anthony Joshua (16-0, 16 KOs) will make the first defense of his title against fellow unbeaten Dominic Breazeale (17-0, 15 KOs) of Upland, Calif., esteSábado, Junho 25 em Showtime Boxing INTERNATIONAL® a partir de The O2em Londres, viver ALTURA DE COMEÇAR® on at 5:15 p.m. E/2:15 p.m. PT.

Just a few hours later in Primetime on CBS (9 p.m. E/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 em CBS, presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

Both Joshua and Breazeale participated in an international media conference call na segunda-feira. Also taking part were Stephen Espinoza, Vice-Presidente Executivo e Gerente Geral da Showtime Sports; Eddie Hearn, Managing Director of Matchroom Sport and Brittany Goossen of TGB Promotions introducing Breazeale.

Below are highlights of what the principals had to say on the conference call. A full transcript will be available in the coming days.

ANTHONY JOSHUA

Thoughts on his preparation for the fight:

“I feel great condition wise, and mentally I’m in a good place. I’ve never felt so relaxed because I just know I’m capable of doing it. I’ve trained weeks and years and it’s just about getting it right on the night of the fight. My tactics and my mind have not let me down so far, so that’s why I don’t want to change anything.

“I’m not putting too much pressure on myself. I’m going to attack the fight the same way I have my last 16 and put on an explosive show. That’s what the Americans love. They like knockouts and I won’t let them down.

“Every fight can be my last fight. As much as I would like to tell you I’m confident and ‘I’m going to do this, I’m going to do that’ I do understand I have to approach this as if it could be my last fight.

“I know he can hang around, he doesn’t go down easy. He’s a big guy, he can eat shots. The Dominic Breazeale I’m used to watching on YouTube and I’m reading about is the enhanced Dominic Breazeale – the Dominic Breazeale that is 50 percent better because I think he knows he wants to come prove himself on a global stage. And this is his chance come Sábado, so I need to prepare for the best of Breazeale.”

On going from being the hunter as a challenger to being the hunted as a champion:

“I’m not the cream of the crop in the gym. I’m around guys that are achieving things on the same level so I’m still hunting. I still have that mentality as if I’m a main killer in the jungle. I haven’t lost that hunger.

On potential to fight in the US in the future:

“I just keep on hearing the United States is where it’s happening. And if I come to the U.S., I’m going to shut it down.”

Thoughts on Breazeale’s performance against Amir Mansour:

“He’s a tough guy. He managed to go out there and break Mansour’s jaw and capture a win, which has led him into where he is now. Whichever angels were floating in the ring with him that day have led him to this point, so I’ve got to put an end to his dream.”

On winning a piece of the heavyweight championship in just his 16th luta profissional:

“It didn’t mean much. I still have another couple titles I need to get my hands on. I’m still hunting. There’s still work to be done. So it only ticked one of the boxes on my to-do list.”

DOMINIC Breazeale

“I’m out here very excited. I can’t wait to get in the ring Junho 25 and shock the world, isso é certo. I’ve been lucky enough to prepare for the biggest fight of my life and I’m really super excited about it.”

On why he thinks he was selected for this matchup:

"Honestamente, the way I see it is that someone didn’t do their research. They didn’t look deep enough. They didn’t find out enough about me and maybe they’re looking at me as just another football player that transitioned into boxing. And I’m hoping they’re overlooking me. It definitely can be a situation where they’re just watching one fight, especially my last fight. But there’s been a lot of tough ones. If they’re looking at that one situation, I’m glad because that’s to my liking.”

On his feelings about fighting overseas:

“The way I’m thinking about it is, Junho 25, I gain 20,000 fãs. I’m in a situation where I’m very confident going into this fight and I know for sure I’m going to put on a great show, come out victorious and go back to the U.S. com 20,000 UK fans.

“I definitely believe [Joshua] realizes; he understands that he’s got a big test in front of him. He’s got a big fighter in front of him. He’s got a guy that’s going to break him down, test his will and see if he is a true champion.

“I am coming into this fight very confident and I’ve got some things that I know are going to work for me, as well as some things that I plan on exploiting out of Joshua.

“I’m blessed to have been picked for this fight and am thankful for this opportunity. The way I look at it, and the way I look at every fight that I go into, is that as long as I do everything that I need to do in the gym as far as sparring, preparation and training, running my miles, sleeping right and eating right – I’ve crossed all of my T’s and dotted all of my I’s. I’ve got nothing to worry about. I’ve got nothing to second-guess. I’ve done everything I’m supposed to and I just can’t wait to shine.”

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Vice-Presidente Executivo e Gerente Geral, Showtime Sports

“Anthony quickly went from a diamond in the rough to really one of the foremost stars in the UK and Europe, and we are happy to be his partner as he establishes his presence in North America.

“We are particularly excited about this bout because we have, pardon the phraseology, two behemoths. There are two skilled boxers, really the epitome of what heavyweight boxing should be – grande, strong athletes skilled in their sport, with amateur pedigree, meeting on the afternoon here in the US, evening in the UK to determine who is the best fighter.”

EDDIE HEARN, Presidente, Matchroom Sport

“Over here, the feeling is that it’s going to be quite a routine defense, but Anthony hasn’t trained like that. He is not expecting that. He knows the background and roots of Dominic Breazeale. He knows his skill, and he knows how dangerous he can be and he knows how hungry he is as well. I think you’re going to get a different kind of fight than the Charles Martin fight. I think you’re going to get a guy that’s not afraid to let his hands go. He’s not going to wait and the sold out O2 Arena is going to be an electric place to be.”

“SHOWTIME is a deal we are very excited about. To link up with an American broadcaster for us was an obvious move, but it was a move we had to choose carefully. And I think we chose very, very well in SHOWTIME.”

BRITTANY GOOSSEN, TGB Promoções

“Over here in the U.S. we have gotten to see Dominic grow before our eyes. We know he is definitely capable of challenging for the world title. No Sábadowe expect him to be victorious and bring that back to America.”
