Here is what the press conference participants had to say Tuesday from Barclays Center:

Deontay Wilder

It’s a pleasure to be back here in Brooklyn. Barclays Center is very close to my heart. I’ve been here so many times and I have a real connection to this arena. I’ve had some of my most memorable moments in the ring here.

It’s always great to get a mandatory out of the way. They’re like flies buzzing in my ear. I just want to get them out of the way so I can do great things for the heavyweight division. I want one champion, one face, one name, but you need a lot of cooperation to make that happen.

I want to prove to the world that I’m the best. That’s what I believe in my heart. Until someone proves me wrong, I will continue to believe that. Breazeale is the next man in line. I can’t wait for this one.

I’m just going to show everyone on May 18. The way I feel right now, the fight could be this week. The champion must always be ready for whatever a challenger can bring.

I hope he’s training his hardest. I’m glad he has Virgil Hunter on his side to show him something new. Every man I’ve faced; they’ve landed on the canvas. I’m going to continue to do that on May 18.

No man who gets in the ring will be able to defeat Deontay Wilder. I hold the keys to the heavyweight division. No fighter is doing what I’m doing. I’m trying to give the fans something they’ve never seen before.

Enjoy this one, because it’s going to be a massacre. Maggio 18 will be a beautiful day for me and a beautiful day to see what I’m planning to do for the sport of boxing.

DOMINIC Breazeale

I’m super excited for this. I’ve been waiting over a year and a half for a shot at this title. I’ve got three knockouts here at Barclays Center and I can’t wait for another.

I’m a great fighter but there are always things to be learned. I’ve learned a lot already with Virgil Hunter. I bring something that everyone wants to see from heavyweights, and that’s trouble. I’m going to bring pressure and action.

I’m sick of seeing this guy walking around with his belt. I’m going to put him down. People are going to be rising to their feet when I knock him down.

I’m so excited to get this fight. I’ve been on Deontay’s undercards and I steal the show every time. Deontay does nothing right in the ring. He looks like a circus-act. All he does is talk. But there’s nothing he can say on May 18.

Deontay loves to hear his own voice. All he does is talk and talk. It’s time to get in the ring. Nobody can get in there and save him. It’s just me and him. Leather on leather. We’ll see who lands first. Hopefully he gets off the canvas.

VIRGILIO HUNTER, Breazeale’s Trainer

It’s a pleasure to be here at Barclays Center for a heavyweight championship fight. We have a monumental task to try to overcome. Dominic and I connected last month and after a few workouts, we saw we had a good fit and an understanding of what needs to be done.

Dominic works hard, he’s very determined and he knows that this is his opportunity and he can’t let it slip away from him. He also knows the risk at hand. We’re looking forward to May 18.

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, President Sports & programmazione di eventi, Showtime Networks Inc.

We are thrilled to be bringing you Deontay Wilder vs. Dominic Breazeale on SHOWTIME. It would be an understatement to say that there has been a lot of speculation regarding Deontay’s future. We’re proud to have him on SHOWTIME. It was critical for Deontay, for the sport and his fans, that this fight be available not on pay-per-view, but on SHOWTIME. Because of his insistence, that’s the primary reason we’re standing here today.

SHOWTIME is where this fight belongs. We’re the home of the biggest fights and best talents, month in and month out. This is where a heavyweight title fight belongs. This will be Deontay’s 12th appearance on SHOWTIME and or SHOWTIME PPV and we’ve built something special.

Recently ESPN named its World Fame 100, which lists the most talked about athletes in the world. Deontay is ranked 34, two slots behind Tom Brady and higher than any other active boxer in the sport. He’s a bonafide superstar, there is no question.

Dominic Breazeale is big, forte, experienced and powerful. Above all, he’s motivated. It’s no secret that there is a personal rivalry between these two fighters. This will not be a friendly promotion. There is genuine animosity. This is a premium fight and this is the heavyweight championship on May 18 in diretta su Showtime.”

ARLINGTON, TX. (Marzo 17, 2019) – Errol Spence Jr. retained his IBF Welterweight World Championship in his hometown in front of 47,525 fans with a unanimous decision over four-division world champion Mikey Garcia in the main event of the first Premier Boxing Champions on FOX Sports Pay-Per-View event Saturday night from AT&Stadio T di Arlington, Texas.

The motivation fighting in front of my hometown crowd made me feel great,” said Spence. “These people have supported me since day one and I wanted to put on a good performance for all of them.

I really appreciate the love and support of the fans tonight,” ha detto Garcia. “It’s a great night and all the credit to Errol, he’s a great champion. He’s the truth. He executed his game plan very well.

The bout started technical, with Spence pumping a consistent jab and attempting to cut the ring off while Garcia was patiently looking for a chance to counter. Garcia had some success early throwing counter left hooks over Spence’s jab, but was never able to get in a rhythm against the busier champion.

He came out here with a good game plan and kept the distance at his favor,” ha detto Garcia. “I couldn’t get my rhythm going and he did what he had to do. I tried to make adjustments and he kept executing.

In quarto round, Spence dominated most of the action before Garcia made a late surge and forced Spence into a defensive crouch for the final moments of the round. Garcia kept that energy going early in round five, putting Spence on the defensive temporarily before he regained his momentum and returned to connecting on powerful straight lefts.

Spence increased his body-punching as the fight went on and looked to wear down the fighter who was moving up in weight. Garcia began bleeding from his nose in round eight, at which point Spence increased his output and landed 35, 29, 34 e 25 punches in rounds nine through 12 rispettivamente, according to CompuBox.

Throughout training camp, a lot of commentators thought he was too smart and I couldn’t box as well as him,” said Spence. “I showed I can box and I can move my head if I want to. The game is to be smart, it’s the sweet science. I had the size and reach advantage, so why not use it to take away the jab? It’s a weapon for me and it takes away one of his weapons.

I was able to hold my own,” ha detto Garcia. “I felt good and I felt strong myself. I think he felt my power, but he definitely has power also.

While Garcia showed his mettle in making it the distance, Spence was simply too effective, with one judge even scoring round 11 10-8 for Spence. Spence threw a career-high 1082 punches and out landed Garcia by a staggering 345 a 75 margine.

After 12-rounds of action, all three judges saw the fight for Spence, con il punteggio di 120-108 due volte e 120-107.

I give Mikey Garcia all the credit for taking this fight,” said Spence. “Mikey and I put on a great show in front of all these lovely fans. I respect him so much and I appreciate him for stepping up.

We just went 12-rounds with a great welterweight champion,” ha detto Garcia. “That’s a feat no one has done recently. I’m proud of what I was able to do. I have to go back and think about it. I will probably go back to lighter divisions but we’ll have to think about it.

Dopo la lotta, Spence declared that he wanted to fight boxing legend and welterweight titleholder Manny Pacquiao il prossimo, who entered the ring after the fight.

He’s broken records here before, he’s a legend in the sport and it’d be my honor to fight him next,” said Spence.

Sì, why not?” said Pacquiao, when asked about facing Spence next. “We’ll give the fans a good fight. I’m so happy to be here at AT&T Stadium and I hope I will be back here soon.

In caso di co-main, unbeaten former 168-pound world champion David Benavidez(21-0, 18 KO) dominato J'Leon Amore (24-3-1, 13 KO) to earn a second-round stoppage in their super middleweight matchup.

It’s a dream come true to fight on this stage in front of these fans,” said Benavidez. “These fans give me the motivation to get up every day and go the extra mile.

From the opening bell Love sought to crowd the taller Benavidez, but the 22-year-old Benavidez quickly made him pay, landing a powerful left hook that stunned Love. Love was able to last the round, but took more powerful hooks from Benavidez before the bell.

I expected to knock him out, but when I hit him with the first god shot, I knew he wasn’t going to last,” said Benavidez. “I tried to pace myself, but it wasn’t necessary tonight.

Benavidez wasted little time in the second round, delivering power shots that put Love on the run. Benavidez caught Love with a clean combo on the ropes that stunned Love and forced referee Laurence Cole to jump in and stop the bout 1:14 in secondo round, as Benavidez began to throw furious combos.

He was getting his shots off, but I don’t think I was taking too much punishment,” said Love. “I wasn’t out of the game completely but he did catch me with a couple good shots.

Dopo l'incontro, Benavidez set his sights on WBC Super Middleweight Champion Anthony Dirrell, who was in attendance at the fight.

I saw Anthony Dirrell with the WBC belt. He can’t call himself champion until he fights me. That’s my belt. I’m going to go get it. It’s mine.

Additional action featured former bantamweight champion Luis Nery (29-0, 23 KO) knock down former champion McJoe Arroyo (18-3, 8 KO) four times on his way to a fifth-round victory by stoppage in his U.S. debutto.

We’re two great fighters who were here to put on a show,” said Nery. “That’s what you have to expect from fighters of our caliber. I’m happy to start on the right foot here in my U.S. debut and show everyone I’m still the best at bantamweight.

Nery stalked Arroyo from the opening bell, throwing big power shots that forced his opponent to fight off his back foot. Con 45 seconds left in round two, Nery scored his first knockdown with a left that stunned him and follow-up combination that put Arroyo on the canvas.

Arroyo was unable to keep the hard-charging Nery from coming forward and again hit the mat late in round three, as a wide left hook hurt Arroyo before he was put down from a flurry that followed. The trouble continued for Arroyo in round four, as he was knocked down twice more in the final minute of the round.

I never felt like I was dazed or anything, they were just hard punches,” said Arroyo. “I went down but got right back up. If it were up to me I’d have kept going. I have to give respect to my opponent for his performance. This isn’t the end of my career. I’ve seen him fight before but I was surprised by his power. It was his night tonight.

After the fourth round, Arroyo’s corner stopped the bout, making the official stoppage 10 seconds into round five. Nery dominated the bout, out landing Arroyo 87 a 36, in fase di atterraggio 44 per cento dei suoi pugni di potenza.

We’re going to train hard and hopefully by June, we’ll have the belt back,” said Nery. “I want to win back my belt, then unify the division.

The opening bout on pay-per-view saw heavyweight fan-favorite Chris Arreola (38-5-1, 33 KO) score a third-round stoppage over previously unbeaten Jean Pierre Augustin (17-1-1, 12 KO).

Augustin is a hungry kid who tried to make a name off of me,” Detto Arreola. “I lose and I’m out, but I’m not going out. I touched him a couple of times and saw he was hurt. I stayed calm and the stoppage came.

After blood started pouring from Arreola’s nose towards the end of round two, the Riverside, California-native got off to a quick start in round three, connecting with a straight left that stunned Augustin and nearly sent him to the canvas in the opening seconds.

As the round progressed, Augustin tried to hold and move to regain his composure, but was eventually caught with a flurry in the neutral corner that put him on the canvas. While he got up and was able to continue, another flurry in Augustin’s corner, including a big overhand left, eventually forced referee Neal Young to stop the fight 2:03 in tre tondo.

Every fighter feels like they can continue, ma è quello che è, it’s out of my control,” said Augustin. “I was more stunned than hurt, but he jumped on me and finished.

In the dominant final round Arreola landed 18 di 30 pugni potenti, compared to just three punches landed in the round by Augustin.

“Amo combattere,” Detto Arreola. “We’re both were trying to beat each other up and I love it. I’m blessed to be a fighter.

Precedendo il pay-per-view, PBC Prelims on FS1 featured former heavyweight champion Charles Martin (26-2-1. 23 KO) winning via disqualification against previously unbeaten Gregory Corbin (15-1, 9 KO) in the eighth-round of their showdown. After deducting a point from Corbin in rounds four, five and six because of low blows, referee Mark Calo-oy stopped the bout in round eight after another low blow. The official time of the disqualification came 53 seconds into round eight.

I don’t think he really wanted to fight, he wanted to hit me low and see how much he could get away with,” ha detto Martin. “I could sense that he didn’t want to engage anymore.

“È quello che è, I thought I was hitting him on the belt,” said Corbin. “We wanted to go to the body, I thought he was tired. I hurt him once, but the low blows did it for me.

We’re going to get back in camp, take a few days off and then get back to work,” ha detto Martin. “We’re staying busy in 2019.

ARLINGTON, TX. (Marzo 13, 2019) – Unbeaten IBF Welterweight World ChampionErrol Spence Jr. and undefeated four-division champion Mikey Garcia went face-to-face at AT&Stadio T di Arlington, Texas Wednesday at the final press conference before they go toe-to-toe at the same venue this Saturday in a Premier Boxing Champions on FOX Sports Pay-Per-View event.

Ecco quello che i partecipanti alla conferenza stampa hanno dovuto dire Mercoledì:

ERROL SPENCE JR.

This is a dream come true fighting in my hometown at AT&Stadio T. I can’t wait to put on a great performance. Seeing Mikey’s face here today, it’s got me hungrier than ever to put on a great performance

The size difference won’t matter. Skill for skill and talent for talent, I’m more dominant than him in every aspect. I’ll beat him at anything he wants to do. On paper he’s the toughest opponent to date, but once we get in the ring we’ll find out.

I don’t think anyone has the power to knock me out. We don’t allow that kind of mentality into training camp. I hope he tries though.

Mikey is supposed to think he’s going to win this fight. He called me out, so they obviously think that they see something. I’m glad he’s as confident as I am. I hope he keeps that same energy inside of the ring.

Our training camp, we train for a hard 12 lotta rotonda. We prepare for a bruising fight. If I knock him out early, then that’s a bonus. We trained for the distance because we know anything can happen in a fight.

I’m always calm, that’s just my demeanor. I could talk to Mikey Garcia in the locker room before the fight then come out and knock his head off. I’m always on go. I’m naturally like this. I’ve been ready to go for eight weeks. I’m tired of seeing him and I’m just ready for fight night.

I can’t worry about what Mikey sees in me. I let my coach worry about it. Everyone thinks they see something looking on the outside, but it’s a lot harder once you’re in the ring.

This win makes me pound-for-pound number one. Mikey has a great record and a big fan base and I feel like winning this fight turns me into a star. Everyone wants to take Floyd Mayweather’s place as the face of boxing, and this puts me on the right track to become the face of boxing and the best fighter in the world.

This is a legendary fight. This is where we see what fighters are made of. There have been a lot of great fights when little guys came up and beat a bigger fighter. You can’t ever write off the little guy. This is going to be a hard fight.

I know I’m the best fighter in the world and I’m going to show it Saturday night. I’m going to punish him and make him wish he took his brother’s advice to not take this fight.

MIKEY GARCIA

I have all the tools and all the skills needed to beat Errol Spence Jr. When it comes to timing, velocità, reflexes and defense, you name it, I’m better.

Here in Texas, it’s like a second home. I’ve won two world titles here. Having great fan support at the grand arrival was a special moment for me.

I’ve got to go in there Saturday night and show why I picked this fight. I want to make history and this is the one that will get me there.

I’m prepared to do whatever it takes to win this fight. We trained very hard. Possiamo andare 12 rounds for sure. Ma, if I get a chance to hurt my opponent, I’m definitely going to jump on him and get the knockout.

“sabato sera, Errol is going to find out why I picked this fight. All of my opponents say they don’t see anything special when they watch me, until they get into the ring.

I know what I have to do on fight night. I know all the work that I put in. I didn’t put all that effort in for nothing. sabato sera, I have to execute. Once I get inside the ring, that switch will turn on.

I have to fight the best fight of my life. If I don’t, then I can’t overcome the challenge. You don’t win a fight with size and weight. We fight smart, we fight intelligently and pick our shots. There are a lot of factors. That’s how I win this fight.

Getting this victory will forever leave my name in the history books. No other fighter is daring to do what I’m doing. I’m here to make history and this fight does that. This fight is about big challenges and obstacles.

All the attention and buzz about this fight is for real. It’s not often you get a fight like this. Undefeated champions in their prime facing each other. If you want to witness history, you better buy a ticket or the pay-per-view.

DERRICK JAMES, Trainer di Spence

Getting up on the stage today, it was like fight night. I feel what Errol and Mikey are feeling. It’s go-time for both of these guys.

Mikey Garcia is a great opponent, but he’s still just another opponent. We’re going to go in there and show him why we’re better. Errol is feeling great, so I am too.

Ring intelligence is definitely one of Mikey’s best attributes. But he’s never been in the ring with Errol. Errol has been in the ring sparring with Floyd Mayweather before and I don’t think Mikey has the same ring intelligence as him.

Errol knows what he should be doing and what he shouldn’t be doing during fight week. He will be ready on Saturday night.

ROBERT GARCIA, Garcia’s Brother & Allenatore

Not only have all of our sparring partners told us this, but his opponents always say the same thing. Once they’re in the ring, they realize how hard Mikey hits and how strong he is. Spence doesn’t know that but he’ll find out Saturday.

A lot of fighters have problems with southpaws like Spence, but Mikey has a lot of experience facing lefties and I’m confident that won’t be a factor.

Spence’s style is pretty basic, so it’s not too hard to find sparring partners to emulate him. Spence does everything right, just like Mikey. From a preparation standpoint, his style isn’t a big challenge.

We haven’t just been facing regular sparring partners. They’re experienced, talented and undefeated fighters. He’s facing middleweights to get ready for this one and I know he will be.

THREE UNDEFEATED MAYWEATHER PROMOTIONS PROSPECTS TO HEADLINE FRIDAY, Aprile 5 ShoBox: IL tripleheader NUOVA GENERAZIONE


Angelo Leo, Xavier Martinez And Andres Cortes Featured In Separate Bouts Live on SHOWTIME From Sam’s Town Live in Las Vegas



Tickets Are On Sale NOW



LAS VEGAS – Marzo 13, 2019 – Three undefeated prospects will make their ShoBox: La nuova generazione debut as super bantamweight Angelo Leo and super featherweights Xavier Martinez e Andres Cortes compete in separate bouts on a Mayweather Promotions card live on SHOWTIME Friday, Aprile 5 (10 p.m. ET / PT) da Sam’s Town Live a Las Vegas.


Top 122-pound prospect Leo (16-0, 8 KO) will square off against Filipino Neil Tabanao (17-4, 11 KO) in a 10-round bout in the ShoBox evento principale, while super featherweight Martinez (13-0, 9 KO) assumerà John Moralde (21-2, 11 KO) in a 10-round co-featured attraction. In apertura trasmissione televisiva, Las Vegas prospect Cortes (10-0, 6 KO) will face Baltimore’s Jahmal Dyer (9-1, 5 KO) in otto round super-piuma attacco.



Tickets for the Mayweather Promotions’ Sin City Showdown are priced at $25, $50 e $75 and can be purchased by visiting: https://mayweatherpromotions.com/events/
.



“Mayweather Promotions is excited to bring the Sin City Showdown back this year, as it is home to a roster of talented prospects,” said Leonard Ellerbe, CEO di promozioni Mayweather. “The card features three of our young talented undefeated prospects Angelo Leo, Xavier Martinez, and Andres Cortes making their television debuts. It’s exciting to see these guys climb the ranks, as they look to take their careers to the next level. Each one of them will be facing tough competition on fight night. I expect nothing but fireworks.”



“We have three unbeaten and untested prospects ready for the next step of their careers in Angelo Leo, Xavier Martinez and Andres Cortes,”Ha dichiarato Gordon Hall, Produttore Esecutivo, Senior Vice President, Production, Showtime Networks Inc. "ShoBox is all about introducing and developing new talent. It’s about pushing young prospects outside of their comfort zone, matching them tough and discovering the next generation of champions in the process. I look forward to see whether or not Leo, Martinez and Cortes will rise to the occasion.”



Originally from New Mexico and currently residing in Las Vegas, Leone, 24, recorded a unanimous decision over Alberto Torres in his 2019 debut on the non-televised undercard of Gervonta Davis vs. Hugo Ruiz. Leone, who started boxing when he was eight, amassed a notable amateur resume, winning the state Golden Gloves and Jr. Golden Gloves Championships before turning pro at 18. Leo debuted under the Mayweather Promotions banner in November of 2017 with a fourth-round knockout of Dominican Republic’s Yasmaly Basilio Peguero-Nieves.



“This fight came to me at the perfect time,” said Leo, who has fought four of his last six bouts at Sam’s Town Live. “I’m in great condition coming off my recent fight last month. I think Tabanao is good fighter and a good counter-puncher. He fought good competition and he went the distance with a former world champion, so I know I have a tough fight ahead. He is a dangerous fighter but I have a solid plan. I have a unique style and I think I bring a lot to the table with my speed, angles and body shots. Fans should expect an exciting fight on April 5.”



Tabanao, 24, made his pro debut in 2012 in his home country of the Philippines. He will make his United States debut next month as he looks to move up the super bantamweight ranks. Tabanao won the WBO Oriental Featherweight Title in 2016 with a third-round technical knockout of Ibrahim Balla. In his next fight, Tabanao lost the belt when he dropped a unanimous decision to Isaac Dogboe, who would go on to become the WBO Super Bantamweight World Champion. Tabanao suffered two consecutive defeats after losing to Dogboe but has admirably rebounded by winning his last four bouts.



My trainer Sonny Dollente is working hard to prepare me for this fight,” said Tabanao. “We know this is our first fight in the States and TV debut, so we are working especially hard to put on a great performance and we thank Mayweather Promotions for this opportunity. Angelo Leo is a good fighter but we have a good strategy. It has always been my dream to represent The Philippines and to be known as a great boxer. This fight will bring me one step closer to my dream.”



Martinez, di Sacramento, Calif., is best known for his crafty and powerful fighting style and is regarded by many as a prospect to watch. After losing his first two amateur fights, he amassed a record of 88-10. He won the Jr. Golden Gloves in 2010, gareggiato nel 2012 e 2013 Nationals Championships and was ranked No. 3 amateur in the country in 2013. He turned pro in Mexico at 17 and joined the Mayweather Promotions team in late 2016 with a unanimous decision win over Wilfredo Garriga at Sam’s Town Live. He’s coming off five straight knockout victories, with his most recent being an impressive fifth-round knockout against Deivi Julio Bassa on February 9. Martinez is looking for a statement victory over Moralde to assert his pedigree in the 130-pound division.







“It feels great to get back in the ring,” said Martinez. “I’m happy Mayweather Promotions found another great matchup for me, and on national television. Now it’s time for me to do my part as a fighter by training hard and getting the win. I came in to training camp with a fresh mindset and ready to go to war. I’m ready for whatever Moralde brings to the table. I don’t know much about him other than he has the guts to fight me. I heard two opponents said, ’No,’ to this fight because they didn’t want to face me.”



Moralde, who made his pro debut in 2011 as a 17-year-old, will see his toughest test to date when he meets rising star Martinez. Hailing from Davao del Sur in the Philippines, Moralde, che è 2-2 nei suoi ultimi quattro incontri, is looking to redeem himself in this pivotal matchup. Il suo U.S. debutto in 2017 didn’t go as planned as he was handed the first loss of his career at the hands of Toka Khan Clary. He rebounded quickly against Ismail Muwendo but lost by decision against Jamel Herring in his next fight. He scored a second-round knockout victory over Elmer Colve in his last outing.

“It feels great to have another opportunity to put my skills on display for the world to see on national TV,” said Moralde. “I’m up against a tough fighter; we both have a tough fight ahead. Devo fare una dichiarazione. This is the fight that will get me where I want to go. I want to fight the toughest and I’m ready to face anyone they put in front of me.”

Born and raised in Las Vegas, Cortes, 22, fell in love with the sweet science at an early age as he watched his brother Luis at the gym. He started training at Elite Boxing Gym when he was six, alongside Juan Heraldez and Andrew Tabiti, who would later become his Mayweather Promotions stablemates. He had a reported record of 130-20 as an amateur and turned pro in 2016. He caught the attention of Floyd Mayweather while sparring with lightweight champion Gervonta Davis. Cortes joined Mayweather Promotions soon after. He has won four of his last six fights by knockout including his last outing against Eder Amaro Fajardo on January 17. With a win, Cortes will be one step closer to becoming a legitimate contender.



“I’ve only taken off one week from the gym since my last fight in January,” said Cortes. "Mi sento benissimo. Sono 100 percent prepared for whatever my opponent brings my way. I’ve been working on my power and my strength with my conditioning coach and overall development as a fighter. I’m ready for my next challenge.”



Baltimore’s Dyer, 27, picked up boxing at 19 and after a brief amateur career turned pro in March of 2017. He scored an impressive 22-second first-round knockout of Dwayne Martin in just his third professional bout. He was named 2017 Rookie of the Year by Boxing Along the Beltway, a Washington, D.C. boxing publication, and has won five fights in a row, most recently against promising undefeated prospect Carlos Dixon.



I’m coming fresh off a fight so I’m still in great shape,” said Dyer. “Andres Cortes is a good fighter, ma io sono un combattente migliore. I’m training to go a full eight rounds, but if I find an opportunity before then, Vado a prenderlo. I’ve been waiting for a chance to show the world how good of a fighter I am, e questo è. This is my time to show the world who I am.”

Profilo della USA Boxing Alumni Association: Giovanni “The Quietman” Ruiz

Dai progetti al possesso della corona definitiva della boxe


COLORADO SPRINGS, Giro. (Marzo 12, 2019) – Dai progetti al possesso del titolo individuale probabilmente più rispettato nello sport, Giovanni “The Quietman” Ruiz rimane l'unico latinoamericano a conquistare l'ambito titolo mondiale dei pesi massimi.

Ruiz, 47, è un orgoglioso pugile americano portoricano cresciuto in un Chelsea, Massachusetts. La due volte World Boxing Association (WBA) campione dei pesi massimi, ha sconfitto la Hall of Famer della USA Boxing Alumni Association Evander Holyfield nella seconda delle tre lotte per il titolo, per proteggere per la prima volta, la corona mondiale dei pesi massimi.

Un pugile dilettante decorato, Ruiz ha compilato un file 50-5 record, simile al suo record finale da professionista di 44-9-1 (30 KO) fra 1992-2010, compreso l'oro- prestazioni da medaglia agli All-New England Championships, Campionati Nazionali di Boxe USA e Festival Olimpico di Los Angeles, che lo ha elevato al n. 1 posizione dei pesi massimi leggeri nelle valutazioni degli Stati Uniti.

Ruiz è stato anche un eccezionale atleta a tutto tondo al Chelsea High, soprattutto nel calcio, in cui era un all-star. Ha iniziato a fare boxe all'età di sette anni, alla fine sviluppando le sue abilità al Somerville Boxing Club.

“La boxe era l'unico sport che immaginavo di avere buone possibilità di successo,” Ruiz (raffigurato qui a sinistra) ha spiegato perché ha perseguito la boxe al contrario del calcio o di un altro sport di squadra. “Gli altri sport dovevi andare al college, e non avevo i voti.”

Ruiz non si è mai guardato indietro e nessun pugile ha mai ottenuto più di lui dalle loro abilità date da Dio. Dopo aver vinto il suo primo torneo (PAL nel New Jersey), è entrato a far parte della squadra USA che si è recata in Svezia per competere in un doppio incontro.

“Al di fuori di Porto Rico (ha vissuto lì per 6-7 anni nella sua prima giovinezza),” Ruiz ricordava con affetto. “Non avevo mai viaggiato fuori dagli Stati Uniti. USA Boxing mi ha dato l'opportunità di viaggiare lì, Australia, Italia e in tutti gli Stati Uniti. Ancor più di come quelle esperienze mi hanno preparato per i ranghi professionisti, mi ha dato un assaggio di esperienza di vita, viaggiando in posti in cui non sarei mai stato in grado di andare da solo. La boxe amatoriale mi ha anche dato struttura e fiducia in me stesso per quando sono diventato professionista. Ho anche incontrato tante persone diverse, combattenti e allenatori, da tutto il mondo.”

Oltre alla sua già citata vittoria al Festival Olimpico di Los Angles, che lo ha qualificato come membro del Team USA per competere ai Campionati del Mondo in Australia (finito 6th al mondo), forse il momento clou della sua carriera amatoriale è stata la sconfitta Torsten May, il 1992 Vincitore della medaglia d'oro olimpica dalla Germania, in un doppio incontro in Florida.

“La mia associazione con John risale al 1990,” aggiunto Al Valenti, Consulente per progetti speciali di boxe USA. “Ero elettrizzato dal fatto che un ragazzo del posto stesse affinando le sue capacità sul ring. John ha avuto un impatto incredibile sulla scena della boxe nazionale amatoriale nei primi anni novanta; arrivando fino alle prove olimpiche di Worcester (MA). Essere stato coinvolto nelle prove è stato davvero speciale per me perché John era un grande concorrente e un bravo ragazzo. La storia della boxe avrà un posto per John Ruiz, non molti sono sopravvissuti 36 round con Evander. Essere il primo campione mondiale dei pesi massimi latino-americani è stato un bel risultato “The Quietman”.

Ruiz è diventato professionista August 20, 1992, vincendo una decisione unanime di quattro round su Kevin Parker. Durante la sua carriera da professionista, ha sconfitto i migliori nomi contemporanei come Holyfield,James Thunder, Jerry Ballard, Fernely Felix, Kirk Johnson, Fres Oquendo, Andrew Golota e Jameel McCline.

La storia è stata fatta a marzo 3, 2013 a Las Vegas, when he became only the second fighter to drop Holyfield en route to his WBA title-winning fight by way of a 12-round unanimous decision, earning him instant notoriety as the first Latino to hold the coveted world heavyweight title belt.

I’m very proud to have accomplished that,” he continued, “but my main goal was to provide for my family and I always maintained that goal. Most fighters don’t succeed, but at the end of the day, that’s what pushed me. I don’t really think about being the only Latino to win the world heavyweight title, ma, when I hear people talk about it today, Penso che, wow, I’m still the only Latino to do that.

Several years ago, Ruiz opened a gym (Quietman Sport Gym) in Medford, MA, not too far from where he grew up in Chelsea and trained in Somerville. It has been a registered club member by USA Boxing since 2012, ma, ma ancora più importante, it’s Ruizway of giving back to amateur boxing.

I felt there was a need to help more kids and give them an opportunity to get out of the house and do something productive and fun,” Ruiz commented. “They all have a chance to work on self confidence and one could possibly become world champion. I feel obligated to help kids because I remember years ago when I was in the same position. They need guidance. If I didn’t have all the support I did growing up, I wouldn’t have turned out the way I did. Voglio aiutare i bambini a capire come raggiungere i loro obiettivi.”

Oggi, John vive a Palm City, Florida. È un ufficiale di correzione per il dipartimento dello sceriffo della contea di Martin. “Vincere il titolo mondiale due volte da professionista è stato fantastico,” Concluse Ruiz, “ma ho sicuramente apprezzato i dilettanti più che i professionisti, anche se mi sarebbe piaciuto rappresentare gli USA alle Olimpiadi. La boxe USA mi ha aperto la mente a cose diverse, portarmi fuori dalle strade di Chelsea per farmi sentire……speciale.”

John Ruiz ha sempre predicato, “Segui i tuoi sogni!” e lo fa ancora oggi.

CARSON, CALIF. (Marzo 9, 2019) – WBC Welterweight World Champion Shawn Porter retained his title with a close split-decision victory over yordenis ugásSaturday night in the main event of Premier Boxing Champions on FOX and FOX Deportes from Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California.

The crowd was expecting a big brawl, but that’s not the way this fight needed to go tonight,” disse Porter. “The style that we used left the fight close. As the clock ticks, you have to do what’s working. Tonight the foot movement was working and it made Ugas have to reset.

I showed tonight that I belong with the elite fighters at welterweight,” disse Ugas. “All I can say is that I’m ready to fight any of the top names in the division. I’ll be back.

The early rounds were defined by Porter using his jab to try to cut down the distance, while Ugas worked power shots and jabs to the body. Porter had some success on the inside landing on Ugaschin during flurries, but was unable to hurt the Cuban.

In tutto cinque, both men stood in the center of the ring for an extended period of time throwing power punches that had the crowd on their feet. Ugas began to work cleaner on his counterpunching as the fight went on, and Porter focused on movement while trying to snap his jab.

I was on my toes all night,” disse Porter. “I was very focused the entire fight and just listening to my corner. We wanted to out box him and eventually turn it on and press him. But my dad did not think that was the smartest way to win the fight. We fought this way for 12 rounds and no one has ever seen that from me before.

Porter’s activity clashed with the sharp countering and body punching from Ugas. Secondo Compubox, Porter was more active on a per round basis, lancio 42.9 punches per round to 37.4 from Ugas. Ugas held the advantage in body punches landed at 57 a 34, while the two fighters each landed 79 pugni potenti.

Nel secondo round 10 Porter began to bleed from his right eye due to an accidental head butt, but late in round 11 he landed one of his most significant punches of the fight when he backed Ugas up with a left hook to the head. Dopo 12 round, i giudici’ scorecards reflected that there were numerous close and hard to score rounds as all three judges agreed on only the fourth and ninth rounds, which went to Ugas and Porter respectively.

One judge saw the fight 117-111 for Ugas, which was overruled by scores of 116-112 e 115-113 for Porter. Both fighters believed after the fight that they had done enough to win.

There’s no doubt about it, I was robbed tonight,” disse Ugas. “After the first round I figured him out and dominated the fight. He had no answer when I was pushing him back. I dominated the fight in my opinion.

We fought a good smart fight tonight,” disse Porter. “I was consistent and I thought we won a majority of the rounds. We got the win, we’re still champion and we’re looking forward to what is next.

Additional action, saw a back-and-forth welterweight contest in which Abel Ramos(24-3-2, 18 KO) got a unanimous decision over Francisco Santana (25-7-1, 12 KO) dopo 10 round.

Santana struck first, landing a clean left hook that put Ramos on the canvas late in the second round. Santana had been stalking Ramos around the ring for much of the early action, before catching him in a neutral corner for the knockdown.

He caught me on a flash knockdown in the second round,” disse Ramos. “I didn’t see the punch coming and he caught me a little bit off balance. As soon as I got up, I was good.

Both fighters were effective in mixing up their attacks, although it was Ramos that held a 138 a 46 advantage in jabs landed, per CompuBox. Santana’s power punching caused Ramos to begin bleeding from his nose in round six, but in round seven Ramos connected with a flurry of shots that appeared to have Santana temporarily out on his feet.

Santana was able to survive the round, but was then out landed 56 a 26 over rounds eight and nine. Both fighters pushed forward in a 10th and final round that saw them land a combined 68 punches out of 224 gettato. Despite the early knockdown, Ramos was awarded the decision on all three scorecards by tallies of 98-92, 97-92 e 95-94.

I was very surprised by the scorecards,” said Santana. “I thought I did enough to win. It was very competitive but I was landing more significant punches. I knew he was a warrior who would come back to fight after the knockdown. I don’t know what else to do at this point, but I’ll always keep my head held high.

“Ho pensato che ho vinto la battaglia,” disse Ramos. “I landed more punches. I felt like I was landing all night and I was doing good clean work throughout the fight.

In the opening bout on FOX and FOX Deportes, rising heavyweight prospect Efe Ajagba (9-0, 8 KO) remained unbeaten and earned the best win of his young pro career by stopping veteran Amir Mansour (23-4-1, 16 KO) after two rounds.

Ajagba was dominant from the outset, knocking Mansour down twice in the first round. He first landed a clean straight right to Mansour that caused him to tumble to the ground. He got to his feet but was then put onto the ground by a straight left from Ajagba.

I’ve never fought a southpaw in the pros before,” said Ajagba. “Ronnie Shields has taught me a lot and given me the plan on how to fight a southpaw and how to use my right hand against them.

Mansour made it to the second round but continued to take a beating as Ajagba landed flush to the head consistently. After the round, referee Thomas Taylor took a long look at Mansour in his corner decided to call the fight after two rounds.

I want to be the best heavyweight in the world,” said Ajagba. “That’s my dream. I’m going to go home and work hard and prepare for the next fight.


PBC Prelims on FS1 preceded the main card and featured former world championJuan Carlos Payano (21-2, 9 KO) sconfiggendo in precedenza imbattuto Damien Vazquez (14-1, 7 KO) by unanimous decision after eight-rounds of bantamweight action with scores of 80-71 due volte e 79-73. Additional action on FS1 saw rising welterweight prospect and 2016 Lithuanian Olympian Eimanta Stanionis (8-0, 5 KO) score a unanimous decision victory over a game Samuel Figueroa (11-2, 4 KO) con il punteggio di 80-72 three times across eight rounds of action.

Il suo curriculum è un vero e proprio ‘chi è chi?’ del meglio a 140 e 147 sterline nel corso dell'ultimo 10 anni.

The action leading up to the main event is sure to be crowd pleasers. I expect the fans in attendance to bring the energy to Dignity Health Sports Park and those tuning in on FOX and FOX Deportes will be fully entertained as well.

Garcia (34-2, 20 KO) has fought and defeated many of the most formidable opponents at 140 and 147-pounds spanning two generations-Erik Morales, Zab Judah, Kendall Holt, Amir Khan, Lucas Matthysse, Paulie Malignaggi and Lamont Peterson among them. Six of his seven opponents in the welterweight division were former or current world champions and 12 del suo ultimo 16 opponents overall carried the same distinction. Included in that run was a headlining performance live on FOX in January 2016, when he defeated Robert Guerrero to capture his welterweight title in Los Angeles. Representing the fighting city of Philadelphia, the 30-year-old most recently lost an exciting and narrow decision to Shawn Porter in their September title fight.

I cannot wait to get back in the ring and put on the Danny Garcia show once again,” ha detto Garcia. “Granados was talking a big game when we first announced the fight and I plan on proving him wrong on April 20. The Southern California fans have always treated me right and I’m excited to give them a great fight.

Fighting out of Cicero, Ilinois, Granados (20-6-2, 14 KO) has made a name for himself by delivering tough, action-packed fights against top fighters in the sport, including Shawn Porter and Adrien Broner. The 29-year-old burst onto the scene by shocking then unbeaten Amir Imam via a stoppage victory in their 2015 clash. After a fight last June against Javier Fortuna that ended in a no contest, Granados picked up two-straight knockout wins heading into this matchup.

This is a huge fight for me and definitely one of the most important in my career,” said Granados. “I’m looking to dominate, look impressive and control the fight. I’ve fought in Southern California before and I’m looking to take advantage of the great Mexican crowd. This is Mexico versus Puerto Rico and Chicago vs. Philadelphia. It’s territorial on a lot of levels and you can expect us to leave it all in the ring.

Fighting out of Imperial, California, Ruiz (31-1, 20 KO) was a two-time Mexican national champion at super heavyweight as an amateur, before embarking on a pro career that saw him win his first 29 combattimenti. The 29-year-old lost a close majority decision against Joseph Parker in their 2016 world title fight and rebounded with victories over Kevin Johnson and Devin Vargas last year.

The 36-year-old Dimitrenko (41-4, 26 KO) is a longtime heavyweight contender who has challenged top fighters throughout his career. Born in Russia but fighting out of Hamburg, Germania, he most recently lost to Bryant Jennings in a back and forth fight in August and owns wins over Derric Rossy, Adrian Granat and Miljan Rovcanin.

The 22-year-old Figueroa (18-0, 13 KO) most recently delivered a dominant performance in knocking out Moises Flores in the third-round of their January fight on FS1. Representing Weslaco, Texas, the younger brother of former world champion Omar has a five-fight knockout streak that he brings into the ring on April 20.

A former interim champion and title challenger at bantamweight, Parejo (22-3-1, 11 KO) will look to make his mark at 122-pounds when he battles Figueroa on April 20. The 32-year-old from Venezuela lost a bantamweight world title fight to Ryan Burnett last March, but rebounded to most recently defeat Benjamin Mendoza in February. He won an interim title by stopping Luis Hinojosa in 2014 before losing a split-decision the following year to former champion Zhanat Zhakiyanov.

Nel main event, undefeated middleweight world champions Shields and Hammer will meet to crown the women’s undisputed 160-pound world champion in what is arguably the most significant women’s boxing event in history.

I biglietti per l'evento dal vivo, che è promossa da Promozioni Salita, sono al prezzo di $150, $100, $55 e $35 e sono già in vendita. Tickets can be purchased through Ticketmaster and at boardwalkhall.com.

The heavyweight division is as talented and exciting as ever,and we are thrilled to add two undefeated warriorsto the April 13 trasmissione televisiva,” detto promotore Dmitriy Salita. “We have the best American heavyweight prospect in Jermaine Franklin and one of the best European heavyweight contenders in Otto Wallin. These fights will be tremendous lead-ins to the historic Shields vs. Hammer main event and will create a night to remember for boxing fans worldwide.

The 25-year-old Franklin (17-0, 13 KO), from Saginaw, Mich., is a former amateur standout and a 2014 Nazionale di Golden Gloves Champion. A likely candidate to represent the U.S. alla 2016 Giochi Olimpici, Franklin turned down the opportunity to compete for a spot on the team and instead chose to begin his professional career in 2015. Widely regarded as the top American heavyweight prospect, Franklin has built his undefeated record with relative ease since turning pro, knocking out nine of his first 10 professional opponents. Coming off a lopsided 10-round decision over Craig Lewis in July, Franklin aims to continue moving up the ranks of the resurgent heavyweight division in 2019 and position himself for a title shot.

“Non vedo l'ora – I am ready to show that I am the new man in the heavyweight division,” disse Franklin. “Rydell is a good fighter but he is in the way of my goal of winning the heavyweight world title. Aprile 13 will be my coming out party and I am very honored to have this opportunity on SHOWTIME.

Booker (25-1, 12 KO), from Detroit, Mich., is a former No.1-ranked U.S. amateur who was once a rising heavyweight prospect with a 22-0 record. He suffered his lone defeat to former three-division world champion James Toney, who was coming off wins over Vassiliy Jirov and Evander Holyfield, in 2004. After serving a 12-year prison sentence, Booker has returned to the ring looking to get his life back on track and live up to his once promising expectations, registering three unanimous decision victories in 2018 under the tutelage of former world champion Jimmy Paul.

It means a lot to have this opportunity to fight on SHOWTIME,” said the 38-year-old Booker, who sparred with heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua in preparation for his September 2018 bout with Alexander Povetkin. “I’m ready to show my talents on a national stage so everyone will know who Rydell Booker is once again. I think Jermaine Franklin is a pretty good fighter but he has never fought anybody with my experience, knowledge in the ring or my ring savvy. I am going to teach him some new lessons on April 13. I have a bag full of goodies and tricks at my disposal that I will teach this young whipper snapper.

Wallin (20-0, 13 KO), che farà il suo U.S. debutto, diventato professionista in 2013 and has gradually risen in the rankings by recording 20 vittorie consecutive. The 28-year-old southpaw, who originally played ice hockey and soccer in his native Sweden before finding the sweet science, won the Swedish Boxing Championship at 16-years-old, fought against Joshua twice as an amateur and was a member of the Swedish National Boxing Team. Attualmente classificato n. 5 by both the WBA and IBF, Wallin most recently won a 12-round unanimous decision over Adrian Granat in April 2018 and now has his sights set on becoming his country’s first Heavyweight Champion since Ingemar Johansson in 1960.

I’m very excited about making my U.S. debut on SHOWTIME,” said Wallin, who has spent the last two years conducting training camp in New York with his trainer and former two-division champion Joey Gamache. “To be fighting on such a big card is very inspiring. I’ve been dreaming of this moment since I first started boxing at the age of 15. I will put on a good performance on April 13 and introduce myself to the American fans. I will be one step closer towards my goal of winning the heavyweight world title. Like I’ve said before, I’m a kid from a small town in Sweden and I’m proud of where I’m from and what I’ve achieved so far, but I feel like this is when all the fun starts.

The 28-year-old Kisner (21-4-1, 6 KO) has competed at both cruiserweight and heavyweight since turning professional in 2010 after a successful amateur career. Among Kisner’s numerous amateur recognitions, the Baltimore, Md. native was a three-time National Silver Gloves Champion, two-time Junior National Golden Gloves Champion and Ringside World Champion. He holds the distinction of being the youngest boxer in American history ever to win a Men’s National Title in the heavyweight division at 17 anni. As a pro, three of Kisner’s four losses have come against opponents who boasted an undefeated record on fight night. Nel suo ultimo incontro, Kisner defended his WBA U.S. cruiserweight title with a majority decision win over Scott Sigmon.

I’ve dreamt my whole life of one day fighting on national television and now that the time is here, I’m going to make the most of it,” said Kisner. “Wallin is very good but I’m going to prove I’m one of the best heavyweights on the planet. I have proven my ability to beat the best in the world at both the amateur and professional level and I will do it again on April 13.
