Here is what the press conference participants had to say Saturday from Microsoft Theater at L.A. На живо:

**Ерол Спенс JR.**

“I train old school so I don’t worry about how Mikey is planning to get stronger at the weight. I’m not worried about it and I don’t think it will make a difference in the fight. I’m just going to focus on what I have to do to be at my best.

“Size always matters, but when you get in there, в края на деня, it’s about skills and intelligence. I’m not going to rely on size. I’m going to focus on my talent. If I can roll through him, then I’ll show my killer instinct and try to get him out of there. I’m going to use my ability to break him down.

“At first I thought he was just chasing my name when he was calling me out. Once it became real, I saw how serious he was. At that point I was very confident it would happen.

“I’m not the bully here because Mikey really pushed for the fight. The other champions weren’t available at the time, plus Mikey is the only top fighter who called me out. I knew this was a fight I wanted.

“Mikey is undefeated, has a great skill set and has won a title at 140-pounds. I don’t see him as that small a fighter. He has a technical style that’s very traditional. He likes to use angles to set his opponent’s up.

“We’re focused on what I can do and what our game plan is. I always spar the same people no matter what because they get me into the condition I need to be in and they have me primed for any challenge.

“The welterweight division has always been one of the strongest divisions in the sport and it is like that now. We just need to fight each other. I’m ready to fight any of them. Whoever ends up on top from this group, will end being a Hall of Famer. That’s how you become an all-time great.

“This is something I’ve been waiting for my whole life. I’m focused and prepared for this challenge. It’s going to be all eyes on me and Mikey in that ring and I can’t wait.

“I’m happy that someone is challenging me. I’ve been looking for an opponent like him. He’s established himself in this sport. I’m happy to be able to take on this challenge. I’m looking for a skillful Mikey Garcia to bring the best out of me on March 16.

“My vision is that my hand will be raised in victory, whether it’s a knockout or a 12-round grueling fight, I’m preparing for the best Mikey Garcia skill wise, strength wise and as far as his ring intelligence.”

**Майки GARCIA**

“These are the kinds of challenges I want. I need someone like Errol Spence Jr., with his demeanor and style, to bring the best out of me. I want the world to finally see the full Mikey Garcia.

“The training that we did in the Bay Area definitely helped me. We are going up in weight and needed to do a different type of training. We wanted to make sure that we gained a little bit of mass so that I can be able to hold off Errol Spence’s weight and strength.

“The key to my strength training was that we didn’t want to lose my speed and explosiveness. I can see now that I’m back in sparring that I still have that speed while also gaining the muscle we had to.

“If people say Errol is bigger, that’s just obvious. But who’s faster? Who has better timing? There’s a lot more that goes into this sport and who’s going to win this particular fight.

“This has been one of the toughest camps I’ve ever had. We’re working on a lot of different methods and techniques to be at our very best. He’s going to be bigger than me on fight night, but that’s part of the challenge. I’ve know that since the beginning and that’s why we’ve trained the way we have.

“When I saw him fight Lamont Peterson I decided that Errol Spence Jr. was the fight I wanted one day. People tried to talk me out of it, but now they’re all on board. People have now started to see what I’m going to be capable of on March 16.

“I want the best Errol Spence Jr. I know he’s a great fighter with a lot of skills and talent. He hasn’t needed to use all of his skills, точно като мен. He does everything well, but nothing spectacular. I just feel like I’m the better fighter. I think I have the advantage everywhere except maybe power, but we’ll find out on fight night.

“This is history in the making. I’m trying to establish a great legacy. This is the kind of fight that I need. I know my fans are going to show up and give me a lot of support. This fight truly excites me and motivates.

“I’m not going to let this fight slip away. I’m going to establish myself as one of the best of the generation and eventually one of the best of all time.

“Even though some people believe I’m the underdog, I don’t see myself that way. I’m undefeated and I think Errol knows that I pose a challenge. It’s no easy task for either one of us. This is the fight that I need for my legacy.”

**Дерик JAMES, Треньор на Спенс**

“This fight is all about the skillset, not the size. Size will come into play a little bit, but we’re going to show the skillset that we have to beat this guy. That’s what Errol is going to show.

“Mikey Garcia has a good technical style. But there’s always a method to take down a great fighter. I think that a day like today will inspire us even more to work even harder. We can see him right in front of us. Its real and we can’t wait.

“When I first saw Errol we were actually sparring each other. We started working together and I got to see him walk through guy after guy. We knew he was a great athlete, but it took time to build to where I started to realize he was something special.”

**ROBERT GARCIA, Garcia’s Brother & Треньор**

“This is a big challenge for us to go up in weight to fight the best welterweight in the world. But it’s not like its’ never been done before and I know Mikey has the skills and power to pull it off. That’s what we’re coming to Dallas to do.

“This is an opportunity for Mikey to continue building his legacy. He wants to be known as one of the greatest fighters of all time and a win over Errol Spence Jr. is a big step toward that.

“I don’t think they’ve overlooking Mikey. “They know the talent he has. They’re getting ready for a great fight like they’ve done before. I think they know that they’re in for a real fight.”

**ДАВИД Бенавидес**

“I’m back here in this stage and that’s all that matters. I’m living and learning. I can’t wait to be in position to again fight for the world title.

‘I actually sparred with J’Leon Love when I was 15-years-old. He’s a great fighter who’s a veteran. Не го пренебрегвам. I’m training for this fight like it’s a world title fight. Whatever style he comes with, I’m going to be ready for it.

“I’m better than ever. Everything has been a lesson learned. I had to sit out while I lost my spot, so now I’m more motivated than ever. This year we’re leaving the past in the past and coming back stronger.”

**CHRIS Arreola**

“I’m excited to be back. It was a long layoff where I spent time with my son and watched him grow. I missed that feeling of being in front of fans and getting that nervous energy right before a fight.

“I’m anticipating and I’m hoping for a rowdy crowd on March 16. There will be a lot of Spence and Garcia fans and a whole lot of great fights. Us Mexicans, we love fights.

“I know that my opponent is a southpaw and he’s slick. He’s going to try to out box me. I know he’s not going to want to stay in my wheelhouse. I have to be in shape to go the distance and be ready for shots coming from different angles.”

**JERRY JONES, Dallas Cowboys Owner, President and General Manager**

*On hosting Spence and Garcia at separate Cowboys home games last season:*
“It was just good to rub elbows with champions. I want all that they have to rub off on me and the Dallas Cowboys.

“The fact that FOX is involved and their interest in this fight is amazing. We’ve had great events with FOX, including the Super Bowl. Our stadium was really built for boxing. These fighters will be standing 70 feet tall suspended above the ring on the video board. It’s an excellent way to feel like you’re so close you’re receiving the blows from these great fighters.

“We’re so excited for our Mexican-American fan base. This is a great area for boxing. We endear ourselves to be involved with an event like this in anyway the Cowboys can. Especially with two great fighters like Spence and Garcia.

“I think you’ll see a fight with outstanding champions involved on March 16. You don’t get to see the best against the best very often. At AT&T Stadium, you’ll see it in a way that can’t be matched at normal sports venues. The aura of having thousands of fans like at a football game is unmatched. It’s a grand experience and we’re proud to be a part of boxing.”

**РИЧАРД SCHAEFER, Председател & Главен изпълнителен директор на Ringstar Sports**

“The winner of this fight will be pound-for-pound the best in the world. Everybody would agree both of these guys are near the top of that list, and I believe whoever wins will be number one. This is a coronation for who is today the king of the sport.

“Mikey Garcia is technically one of the best fighters in the world. Ерол Спенс Jr. is a strong, determined fighter who just wants to prove that he’s the best. This fight is a chance for both guys to prove they’re the best in the world.”

**TOM BROWN, Председател на TGB Промоции**

“This is a true blockbuster event, worthy of this incredible press conference live on FOX. These two fighters are not only superstars of the sport, but the winner of this fight will be able to make the claim of being number one pound-for-pound.

“FOX and the Dallas Cowboys have given a tremendous amount of support to this event and we anticipate an unforgettable evening on March 16. Mikey Garcia is truly daring to be great against a fighter in Errol Spence Jr. who has established himself as the class of the 147-pound division.”

The 31-year-old Fonfara announced that he is retiring from boxing, prompting him to withdraw from the fight against Rodriguez on Wednesday.

“There is no more enthusiasm and above all no more of the motivation and adrenaline that gave me the desire to go into the ring and compete,” Fonfara said. “I am healthy. Everything is okay. But I no longer have the heart for boxing.”

Ramos (23-3-2, 18 Нокаута) has put together four technical knockout victories since losing a hard-fought majority decision to welterweight contender Jamal James in front of James’ hometown crowd in Minneapolis on April 13, 2018. The 27-year-old from Casa Grande, Arizona proved against James that he’s a formidable opponent for anyone in the 147-pound division.

Santana (25-6-1, 12 Нокаута) needs an impressive victory over Ramos to remain a force in the welterweight division. The 31-year-old Santana of Santa Barbara, California is coming off a majority decision over the always-tough Felix Diaz and owns victories over then unbeaten fighters Eddie Gomez and Kendal Mena.

**Кликнете ТУК за снимки от Шон Майкъл Хам / TGB Промоции**

**Лос Анджелис** (Февруари 14, 0219) – Нямаше любов, загубена на Свети Валентин в Лос Анджелис, тъй като бойци, състезаващи се в съботния Premier Boxing Champions на FOX и FOX Deportes, си размениха думи и излязоха лице в лице на заключителната пресконференция преди съответните им демонстрации тази събота вечер в театър Microsoft в Лос Анджелис. На живо.

WBA перо World Champion **Лео Santa Cruz** ще защити титлата си срещу Мексико **Рафаел Ривера** в основното събитие на шоуто. Покритието започва в 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT и ще включва вълнуващ сблъсък между претенденти **Omar Фигероа** и**John Molina Jr.,** плюс непобедени перспективи **Себастиан Фундора** и **Дони Маршал** върви пети до пети.

Билети за шоуто, , която е възложена TGB Промоции и Ringstar Sports, са в продажба сега, и могат да бъдат закупени от AXS.com.

Събитието включваше и участие на бившия световен шампион и любим на феновете на Южна Калифорния Фернандо Варгас. Ето какво трябваше да кажат участниците в пресконференцията в четвъртък от стая Conga:

**LEO Санта Круз**

“Приготвяхме се за Мигел Флорес, но във фитнеса винаги трябва да сте готови за всякакъв стил. Вече работехме с спаринг партньори, които се карат, и това очакваме от Рафаел Ривера.

“Веднага разбрах, че Ривера е добър съперник. Той е млад и гладен и това го прави опасен. Може да понася удари, така че сме готови за 12 кръга. Ще бъдем умни в тази битка, защото знаем какво може да направи Ривера.

“Виждайки как баща ми преминава през лечение на рак, беше много трудно. Той ме мотивира да отида на фитнес и да тренирам усилено, защото знам дали ме вижда да работя усилено, ще го мотивира и него.

“Просто гледам да отида там, дайте страхотна битка и помогнете на името ми да продължи да расте, за да мога да се бия най-добре.

“Обичам да се бия и тренирам тук в Лос Анджелис. Дава ми шанс да бъда повече със семейството си. Когато ги имам тук, кара ме да тренирам по-усилено. Правя всичко това за тях и тяхното бъдеще.

“Ако успея да спечеля тази победа, искаме да обединим коланите или да направим третата битка срещу Карл Фрамптън. Ако не, ще отидем до 130 лири и търсете титла в нова категория тегло.”

**RAFAEL RIVERA**

“Влязох късно в голяма битка. Винаги съм готов, когато дойде. Очаквайте изненада в събота вечер.

“Знам, че имам всичко необходимо, за да върна това заглавие в Тихуана. Тренирахме усилено и имахме последните четири седмици, за да се съсредоточим върху разбиването на Лео.

“Подготвен съм за всичко, което Лео вкара на ринга. Всеки знае, че е много жилав и нанася много удари, но вярвам, че съм по-бързият боец и мога да го нараня с броячи.

“Това е най-добрата възможност, която съм имал, излиза срещу голям шампион като Лео. Готов съм за битка и страхотно шоу за феновете.”

**ОМАР Фигероа**

“Предвид нашите стилове, няма начин това да отиде на разстояние. Мисля, че това ще бъде ранна вечер и планирам да вдигна ръка.

“Съкращението не ме засегна срещу Робърт Гереро, така че не виждам защо това ще ме засегне сега. Ето защо поддържам стила си последователен. Единствената разлика е характерът срещу мен на ринга. Тази битка ще зависи от това как Джон иска тя да протече, защото идвам да се бия.

“Просто гледам да се кача на ринга и да се възползвам от тази възможност, която ми беше дадена. Направих промени, които улесниха цялата ми игра. Съвсем различен манталитет имам сега.

“Тренировъчен лагер мина страхотно. Направих много промени в начина си на живот и съм отдаден 100 процента към бокса. Нещата никога не са били по-добри.”

**JOHN MOLINA JR.**

“Това е време да се бори. Усилената работа е свършена и времето е сега. Разговорите са евтини. В събота вечер, ще слезем.

“И преди съм бил по този път. Никога не са ми давали високи очаквания. Тук няма натиск. Мисля, че стилът на Омар ще побере моя и ще направи забавна битка за феновете.

“Винаги, когато се бия, ще бъде вълнуващо. Можете да кажете същото за Омар. Подготвен съм за всяка версия на Омар. Точно като всяка друга битка. Нямам търпение до събота вечер, за да вляза там и да направя това, което правя най-добре.

“Вложих всичко в този лагер, като съм сигурен, че опонентът ми го има. Това дължим на феновете и ще се осъществи в събота вечер.”

**СЕБАСТИАНСКИ ФУНДОРА**

“Очаквам добра битка. Той е непобеден боец и се надявам да дам на феновете страхотно шоу и да си тръгна победоносно.

“Ние сме напълно фокусирани върху тази битка. Просто тренирам, а всичко останало е извън пътя. Тренирах усилено и ще си направя нещата както винаги.

“Все още растя като боец. Подобряваме се с всеки лагер и всяка битка. Добре е, че продължаваме да се борим с качествени противници, защото помага да се ускори този процес.

“Надяваме се, че ще покажем много повече бокс и техника в тази битка. Мисля, че Маршал ще влезе вътре и ще атакува тялото. Мисля, че ако успея да го спра, ще бъде от боксовите умения, които показвам.”

**ДОНИ МАРШАЛ**

“Готов съм да доминирам в битката, както винаги. Това е единственото нещо, което ми е на ум. Не ме интересува височината му, запис или нещо друго. Идвам да доминирам.

“Никога не съм се занимавал с височината на Фундора. Спарирахме с някои добри силни южни лапи във Флорида, включително Ямагучи Фалкао. След това отидохме в Лас Вегас за втората половина на тренировъчния лагер и работихме с някои най-добри перспективи. Повече от готов съм за всичко.

“Всяка битка е битка за правене или прекъсване. Тренирах срещу най-добрите бойци и бях из цялата страна в различни фитнес зали. Професионалист съм само две години и половина. Аз съм млад 30. Ще се обявя в събота по голям начин.”

**РИЧАРД SCHAEFER, Председател и главен изпълнителен директор на Ringstar Sports**

“Този уикенд е поредният пример защо Лос Анджелис е толкова страхотен боен град. Ще имаме фантастична тълпа в Microsoft Theatre в Лос Анджелис. На живо в събота вечер. Мисля, че това говори за силата на този град като боксов град, и силата на тази карта. Това е отгоре надолу една от най-добрите карти, които мога да си спомня тук в Лос Анджелис.

“Триплеърът на FOX и FOX Deportes има три битки, които искат да откраднат нощта. Ще видим за кой бой и за кой боец ще говорят всички след събота. Определено има някои битки на тази карта, които имат „Битка на годината’ написани изцяло върху тях.

“Ние се ангажираме да продължим да носим най-добрите и най-големите битки на феновете тук в Лос Анджелис, защото Лос Анджелис отново е столицата на битките в света.”

**Tickets On Sale Now at SeatGeek.com**

Blockbuster Event to Feature Unbeaten Former 168-Pound Champion David Benavidez, Undefeated Former Bantamweight Champion Luis Nery & Fan Favorite Chris Arreola In Separate Bouts on Four-Fight Pay-Per-View Card

**ARLINGTON, TX.** (Февруари 14, 2019) – Непобеден световен шампион в полусредна категория на IBF **Ерол “Истината” Спенс Jr.** defends his title against undefeated four-division champion **Mikey Garcia** in a highly anticipated and historic showdown for pound-for-pound supremacy that headlines a Premier Boxing Champions on FOX Sports Pay-Per-View event on Saturday, Март 16 from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

The four-fight pay-per-view card will also see unbeaten former super middleweight world champion **David Benavidez** taking on veteran contender **J'Leon Любов** в 10-кръгово показване, undefeated former 118-pound champion **Луис Нери** бой бивш шампион **McJoe Arroyo** in a 10-round attraction and fan-favorite **Chris “Кошмарът” Arreola** facing unbeaten **Jean Pierre Augustin** for 10-rounds of action.

Tickets for this showdown, , която е възложена TGB Промоции и Ringstar Sports, са в продажба сега, и може да бъде закупен на адрес SeatGeek.com, the Official Ticketing Provider of AT&T Stadium.

Spence and Garcia will go face-to-face on Saturday, Февруари 16 at a press conference in Los Angeles that will air live on FOX from the Microsoft Theater at L.A. Live in downtown Los Angeles beginning at 4:30 p.m. И / 1:30 p.m. PT. The press conference is open to ticket holders for the Leo Santa Cruz vs. Rafael Rivera featherweight championship fight.

Във вторник, Февруари 19, Spence and Garcia will square off at a press conference from
AT&T Stadium where they will finally go toe-to-toe on March 16.

Garcia is stepping up two weight classes from his last fight to challenge Spence for the welterweight title in Spence’s backyard, not far from the Dallas suburb of DeSoto where Spence grew up a lifelong Dallas Cowboys fan. Garcia will be fighting in Texas for the ninth time as a pro and figures to be buoyed by the large contingent of Mexican and Mexican-American fans that will be in attendance.

His task has historical parallels to the paths taken by great fighters like Shane Mosley, Juan Manuel Marquez and Manny Pacquiao, who all moved up multiple weight classes to challenge all-time great welterweights. Mosley and Pacquiao were both successful in moving up from lightweight to defeat Oscar De La Hoya, while Marquez’s rise to welterweight was halted in a decision loss to Floyd Mayweather.

Spence is a power-punching welterweight who has stopped his last 11 opponents heading into this intriguing matchup against the brilliant tactician that Garcia has established himself as. With a clash of two superb boxers in the prime of their careers and squarely in the top-five of the mythical pound-for-pound rankings, the winner can stake a claim as the best boxer in the sport today.

“Ерол Спенс Jr. срещу. Mikey Garcia is a matchup of two highly-skilled and accomplished fighters in a true blockbuster showdown,” каза Том Браун, Председател на TGB Промоции. “Fans will get to see the hometown hero Spence against the Mexican-American superstar Garcia with huge contingents of fans uplifting them to put on a performance to match the moment. Combined with a jam-packed pay-per-view undercard of action fights, this has all the makings of a once-in-a-lifetime event.”

“Спенс срещу. Garcia is an event that transcends boxing and is a coronation that will crown the new ‘King of Boxing,"” - каза Ричард Шефер, Председател и главен изпълнителен директор на Ringstar Sports. “В допълнение към основното събитие, fight fans will be treated to a spectacular night of boxing featuring three of the most exciting Mexican fighters in the sport in David Benavidez, Luis Nery and Chris Arreola. This is exactly what a pay-per-view card is and should be all about: entertainment and non-stop action from the first bell to the last!”

“We are proud to host a boxing match of this magnitude with Errol Spence Jr. and Mikey Garcia,” said Dallas Cowboys Owner, President and General Manager Jerry Jones. “AT&T Stadium was built to house the greatest sporting events on the planet, and we feel we have another incredible boxing event on the horizon with this matchup in our building on March 16.”

Килер за храна (24-0, 21 Нокаута) is no stranger to big stadium events as he won the IBF title by traveling to England to take on then-champion Kell Brook at Bramhall Lane soccer stadium on May 27, 2017. In front of a raucous crowd of over 27,000 loyal Brook supporters, the 28-year-old Spence stopped Brook in round 11 to wrest away the title.

This will be Spence’s third defense of the title. After beating Brook, he successfully defended it with an eighth-round stoppage of two-division champion Lamont Peterson and then knocked out mandatory challenger Carlos Ocampo in the first round in his last fight at Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas, near his hometown of Desoto, Texas on June 16. Spence turned pro shortly after representing the U.S. в 2012 London Olympics with much promise and rose to the championship ranks with wins over former champion Chris Algieri and veteran contenders Leonard Bundu, Alejandro Barrera and Chris van Heerden.

“I can’t wait for March 16th. It doesn’t get bigger than this,” каза Спенс. “Fighting at AT&T Stadium in my hometown is a dream come true. If I beat Mikey Garcia the way I plan on beating him, I will be the guy in the sport. This is my year and Mikey isn’t going to stop me. I am training like this is the biggest fight of my life and I want to put on a great show for the fans and win convincingly.”

Garcia (39-0, 30 Нокаута) is striving to put together a legendary career and is aggressively pursuing that goal. He has won world championships at featherweight, юноши лека категория, lightweight and junior welterweight. He now eyes a welterweight title against the consensus class of the division in Spence. Fighting out of Moreno Valley, Калифорния, Garcia unified the IBF and WBC Lightweight World Championships in his last bout by scoring unanimous decision victory over Robert Easter, Jr. юли 28.

The 31-year-old first reached the championship ranks by blitzing through the featherweight and junior lightweight division, defeating Orlando Salido, Хуан Мануел Лопес, Roman Martinez and Juan Carlos Burgos to establish himself as a star in the sport. Garcia has been on a fast track since ending a nearly 2-1/2-year hiatus with a knockout victory over Elios Rojas in 2016. After the victory over Rojas, Garcia scored a KO victory over Dejan Zlaticanin for the WBC lightweight championship in January 2017, before defeating four-division champion Adrien Broner in July and then captured a title at 140-pounds by dropping and defeating Sergey Lipinets last March.

“In my career I’ve always sought to fight the best in boxing and this fight against Errol Spence Jr. is just that,” Саид Garcia. “I want to be known as one of the all-time greats and what better way to do that than to win a welterweight title and become a five-division world champion. I have a tremendous amount of respect for Errol and what he’s accomplished, but I fully expect to leave the ring at AT&T Stadium with the welterweight world title. This is a match that I’ve been looking forward to for a long time and I plan on giving the fans a performance they’ll never forget.”

The 22-year-old Benavidez (20-0, 17 Нокаута) became the youngest fighter to ever win a super middleweight title in 2017 when he defeated Ronald Gavril at just 20-years-old. Борба от Финикс, Benavidez’s older brother Jose is also a pro fighter who challenged Terrence Crawford last year. Benavidez most recently won a rematch against Gavril last February, and as WBC “Champion in Recess” he will look to reclaim his belt against the winner of the Anthony Dirrell vs. Avni Yildirim bout for the vacant title on February 23.

Born in Detroit but fighting out of Las Vegas, Обичам (24-2-1, 13 Нокаута) has long been amongst the top contenders at super middleweight and most recently lost a decision to Peter Quillin in August. The 31-year-old had been previously unbeaten in seven bouts heading into the contest against Quillin.

Currently riding a nine-fight knockout streak, Нери (28-0, 24 Нокаута) will look to get one step closer to a fight to regain a bantamweight title when he steps into the ring March 16. The 24-year-old from Tijuana, Mexico twice traveled to Japan and stopped Shinsuke Yamanaka in WBC title fights. В 2018 he stopped Jason Canoy and Renson Robles heading into his U.S. debut against Arroyo.

A 2008 Olympian for his home country of Puerto Rico, Arroyo (18-2. 8 Нокаута) captured a 115-pound championship with a technical decision over Arthur Villanueva in their 2015 сблъсък. After dropping decisions against Rau’shee Warren and Jerwin Ancajas, the 33-year-old most recently defeated Sander Diaz last June.

An exciting brawler inside the ring, Arreola (37-5-1, 32 Нокаута) is well-known for challenging the best heavyweights in the sport throughout his career, and for becoming a popular attraction in and around his native Los Angeles for his fighting style and persona. The 37-year-old faced the likes of Vitali Klitschko, Tomasz Adamek, and Bermane Stiverne, before challenging Deontay Wilder for his title in 2016. After a brief retirement, Arreola returned to stop Maurenzo Smith last December.

Unbeaten and fighting out of Louisville, Augustin (17-0-1, 12 Нокаута) will face his toughest and most experienced test to date in Arreola. Роден в Хаити, Augustin turned pro in 2014 and has steadily climbed up the heavyweight rankings.
