Carson, קליפורניה. (יוני 6) – Southern California boxing fans were treated to an afternoon of hard punches and quick action as Premier Boxing Champions (נכסים ובניין) on NBC took to the ring at StubHub Center in Carson, קליפורניה. The Saturday afternoon fight card, part of a jam-packed day of sports action on NBC, showcased a heavyweight brawl between Dominic Breazeale and Yasmany Consuegra and a fast and furious welterweight bout between Robert Guerrero and Aron Martinez.

 

In the PBC on NBC main event, Guerrero and Martinez let their fists fly from the opening bell to the closing bell in a showdown that saw over 1,000 punches thrown between the two welterweights over 10 סיבובים. It was clear from the beginning of the fight that Martinez was not intimidated by Guerrero’s skills or resume as he dominated the first several rounds, even dropping Guerrero in the fourth. But Guerrero was able to turn the table in his favor as the fight progressed and dominate the second half of the 10 round brawl. השופטים הבקיעו את ההתקף 97-95 ו 95-94 for Guerrero and 95-94 for Martinez in a split decision victory that brought the crowd to its feet.

 

BREAZEALE, a 2012 מתגורר בארה"ב. Olympian and Southern California-native, needed less than three rounds to defeat previously unbeaten heavyweight Conguegra. The referee called off the fight at 1:49 of the third round after Consuegra hit the canvas three times as Breazeale extended his professional record to 15-0 עם 14 קוס.

 

The featured fight on NBC SportsNet saw a featherweight battle between the once-beaten Argentinean Jesus Cuellar and former world champion Vic Darchinyan that came to a half when Cuellar knocked out Darchinyan at 1:04 of the seventh round.

 

NBCSN also featured the return of Alfredo Angulo, who scored a fifth-round knockout victory over Delray Raines in a middleweight contest that saw “כלב” raise his hand in victory for the first time since 2012.

 

Here is what the fighters had to say about Saturday afternoon’s fights:

 

רוברט גררו

 

Aron Martinez came to fight and the fans got to see two warriors go at it.

I can’t explain why I go to war so much. I just love to get in there and mix it up.

When I got up off the canvas, I told myselfget up and win this fight.

Once I started boxing I felt I started dominating the fight.

We got the victory and now it’s time to move on to some big fights and give the fans the warrior type fights they deserve. I’m an action fighter and I’ll continue to be so.

 

There is something about this arena that makes you want to stand there and trade.

 

I just suffered the loss of my cousin. She passed away last week and this fight was for her.

 

 

ARON MARTINEZ

 

“אני מאוד מרוצה מביצועים שלי. חשבתי שאני ניצחתי את הקרב.

 

I thought the third scorecard was way out of line.

 

It was a great experience fighting on NBC. I wanted to put on a great fight for the fans and me and Robert did that.

 

I look forward to being more active and fighting again as soon as possible.

 

דומיניק בריזיל

 

Its always a little different to fight in the afternoon. The fans came out to support me. I put on a big show and got the win.

 

He was putting his hand on his right side and I was hitting him with the upper cut.

 

“אני לא יכול לבקש משהו טוב יותר.

 

I’d love to be back in the ring as soon as possible. Everybody did a great job putting this together. This was only three rounds right here and lets do it again in a couple months.

 

ישו Cuellar

 

“לא נפגעתי. It was more of a slip. Darchinyan is a very tough warrior and I’m glad I came out on top.

 

I want to fight again as soon as possible. I saw Abner Mares sitting in the first row and I want to fight him next.

 

אלפרדו אנגולו

 

I have so many fans and I want to thank them. They are here cheering for mecheering for the dog. I always say it’s for the fans and I want to thank them for the support.

 

This is my first fight coming back to my old trainer [Clemente Medina] and it was great.

 

A lot of people say ‘the dog is dead,’ but if you ask the people that saw my performance, they will all tell you the dog is alive and well.

רוברט גררו

 

I’m excited to get back in the ring. I’ve trained very hard and my focus is fully on this fight.יום שבת afternoon you’re going to see a great fight.

 

It’s a unique event starting so early. I’ll get up, eat and go fight but I’m ready for it.

 

I want to fight often, inactivity is the worst thing for a fighter. I want to fight three-four times per year, every year.

 

I never take another fighter lightly. This is a huge opportunity for Aron Martinez and I’m sure he’ll be ready for a real fight.

 

Fighting on NBC puts all the eyes on me. I know how big of a platform this is.

 

StubHub Center is a terrific venue, fans are right on top of you. I love fighting there and I’m not going to leave the fans disappointed.

 

ARON MARTINEZ

 

“כמו יום שבת, expect a great fight. זה הולך להיות מלחמה. I want to go in there and show everybody who I am.

 

I know how tough of a fighter Robert is, he’s fought at the top level for a long time.

 

I’m a brawler and I’m ready to test whatever skills he has. I need to close the distance, stay on top of him and get to him early. My power will surprise him.

 

I love StubHub Center. I’ve been there many times to watch fights and can’t wait to fight there myself.

 

“זוהי הזדמנות גדולה עבורי, fighting on such a big card. We know Robert is a former world champion but I’m focused and ready. I’ve trained extra hard for this fight.

 

דומיניק בריזיל

 

Everything starts off the jab, I need to put pressure on him early. I’ve seen a couple of YouTube clips of him fighting but the key is to focus on what I do best.

 

This is a huge opportunity for me to fight on NBC at StubHub Center and I plan to take full advantage of it.

 

This camp has been great, my whole team has done a phenomenal job getting me ready for this fight.

 

I have to thank my opponent for coming out and putting his record on the line. When I’m done with him, he’ll be 17-1. I’m looking for an early round knockout and I want to keep the fans on the edge of their seats.

 

YASMANY CONSUEGRA

 

I’m very prepared for this fight. I’m thankful to Dominic for taking this fight and I can’t wait to put on a show בשבת קרובה אחר הצהריים.

 

I feel strong and ready for this challenge. My team has done everything they need to help me come out victorious.

 

I was part of the national team in Cuba which is very difficult to do. I’m not worried about any hype leading into this fight.

 

ישו Cuellar

 

First Darchinyan, Then Leo Santa Cruz or Abner Mares, those are the fighters

I’m targeting.

 

He can talk as much as he wants but we’re going to fight and find out who is better ביום שבת.

 

I’m very prepared and ready to represent Argentina. I trained hard and I’m ready to get in the ring. I’ve put in the hard work and I’m going to step inside the ring and showcase my talent for all of Argentina.

 

VIC DARCHINYAN

 

I will demolish this kid ביום שבת, I have much more experience.

 

He has no idea what’s going to happen.

 

I was a champion for many years and want to win another title. I will show everyone that I’m still capable ביום שבת.

 

We’re going to see great fights and great action ביום שבת. I’m ready to go and I hope everyone enjoys the fights.

 

אלפרדו אנגולו

 

I’m so happy to be here in Los Angeles and fighting so close to home. 'הכלב’ is coming back and you’ll see that ביום שבת.

 

“אני מאוד מתרגש להיות שוב בטבעת. It’s been a bit of a layoff but I want to be as active and busy as possible.

 

I’m back now with Clemente Medina. I work best with him and I’m happy to be back training in Los Angeles again.

 

I recently got married. I’m much more settled and much more focused on my career. I look forward to becoming a champion again.

 

אוסקר מולינה

 

My left shoulder is completely healed, the recovery took a while which was frustrating but now all systems are go.

 

I’ve prepared well for this fight and I’m excited to go out and perform. It’s an honor for me to be on the same card as all these great fighters. I’m going to give a great show ביום שבת.

 

I don’t know much about my opponent but I’ve been very busy in the gym learning everyday and I look forward to setting the pace and fighting my fight ביום שבת.

 

I’ve been going to fights at StubHub Center for years and it’s great to be fighting there for the first time.

הנה מה שברונר ופורטר היו לומר על ספורט אוהיו, לברון ועוד:

 

האם שורש לצוותים אוהיו-ספורט גדלו? אילו היו האהוב עליך ושהיו השחקנים האהובים עליך? מה הזיכרון של צפייה בקבוצות ספורט האהוב עליך אוהיו?

אדריאן ברונר: “אני גדלתי צופה סינסינטי בנגלס וקליבלנד קאבלירס. אני לא להתחיל לצפות בכדורסל עד ששיחקתי יותר מזה בבית ספר יסודי והתיכון. זה היה רגע שהברון הגיע לראשונה לליגה. אני זוכר המשחק הראשון של לברון בקליבלנד. זה היה ענק. רוב השחקנים להקפיא תחת סוג זה של ההייפ, אבל לא הוא.”

שון פורטר: “תמיד הייתי מעריץ ענק בראונס. ניסיתי לצפות בכל טיוטה וכל קדם עונה ומשחק עונה סדיר. אני נכנסתי לקאבלירס קצת יותר כשאני היה בתיכון. אם כי אני בכל רחבי אוהד ספורט אוהיו.”

איך היית מתאר את אוהדי אוהיו-ספורט? עד כמה באמת אתה רוצה לנצח עבורם?

AB: “אוהדי אוהיו הם מאוד תומכים. כמה מדינות אחרות לא אוהבים אותנו, כי אנחנו יוצאים חזקים. אני אשמח לזכות לאוהדים באוהיו כי הבאת אליפות לשם אומרת הרבה לי. אני כבר עשיתי את זה כבר שלוש פעמים ואני מחפש רביעי. אתה תמיד רוצה למהר את זה שוב.”

SP: “אנחנו משוגעים! אוהדי קליבלנד שורש לקבוצות שלהם עם אהבה וכבוד שראוי להערצה. בין אם זה בימים טובים או רעים ימים אנחנו נאמנים ומנסים להישאר חיוביים. זה יהיה ענק עבורי לזכות לאוהדים כאן ולייצג אוהיו. אני עושה את זה לכולם בצפון מזרח אוהיו. זו אמירה על ילד גדול מאוהיו המייצג את האנשים שם וזכייה נוספת מריבה גדולה.”

AB: “לברון הבית הקרוב היה מאוד חשוב בגלל שהוא עשה את הקאבס הרבה יותר טוב. איתו בקליבלנד אנחנו שוב בסדרת האליפות.”

SP: “לברון הבית הקרוב היה ענק. אם הוא לא יחזור אני לא יודע מה יש לנו עשיתי. יש כנראה היו יותר מהומות. אבל חוזר הביא שמחה לכולנו באוהיו. זה חלק מהתפקיד שלנו כספורטאים מקצועיים להביא שמחה וחיובית למשפחה, חברים והאוהדים. זה בדיוק מה שהוא עשה על ידי חזרה לקליבלנד.”

 

האם אתה צופה קאבלירס בגמר ה- NBA? האם יש לך תחזית לסדרה?

AB: “אני בהחלט צופה במשחקים. אין אימונים עד אחרי המשחק הלילה. אני חושב שקליבלנד ינצח את כל זה בששת משחקים.”

SP: “אני לא עושה את תחזיות. אני מתפלל להקאבס לעשות את זה בעיר ולעצמם. אני מקווה שהם יכולים למשוך את זה ביחד ולקבל את מה שמגיע להם. זה יהיה נהדר לקבל נצחון לקבוצה ולNE אוהיו. אני אצפה במשחק כל על מסך ההקרנה שלי.”

תאר מה זה כמו להילחם מול קהל הולדה באוהיו?

AB: “זה תמיד כיף לחימה בבית מול הרבה אנשים שמכירות אותך. גם כאשר הגב שלך הוא על הקיר הם מריעים ולעזור לדחוף אותי על.”

 

SP: “בכנות, כל הקהל הוא אותו כשאני בטבעת. אני באמת מצפה לאף לחימה בזירה הגדולה בMGM Grand. אני סוג של כמו שיש שילוב של אנשים בקהל עם כמה וכמה לנגדי.”

האם יש יותר לחץ ודגש על ביצועים טובים ב יוני 20 ללכת עם זכויות ההתרברבות באוהיו?

AB: “אני חושב שכבר יש לי זכויות ההתרברבות באוהיו.”

SP: “אין לחץ הוסיף, זה באמת לא משנה לי ככה. זה בראש ובראשונה על הקבוצה שלי. אנחנו מוצלחים כצוות וכמשפחה.”

אם אתה יכול לפגוש את ספורטאי אחד מאו ששיחק במדינת אוהיו שזה יהיה?

AB: “הייתי צריך לומר לעצמי.”

SP: “פגשתי אותי כל הזמן האהוב על קריס קרטר כבר. קריס הוא מאוהיו והלך למדינת אוהיו. אני לא פגשתי צ'רלס וודסון או לברון אף. צ'ארלס הוא מכאן, אבל הוא הלך למישיגן למכללה. אבל הייתי באמת אוהב לפגוש לברון כי הוא עדיין עושה את הדבר שלו ויש לו ששריפת רצון לנצח. אני צריך אותו הרצון ואני לומד שצופה בו מלשחק.”

לחץ כאן עבור MP3

 

ליסה מילנר

תודה לך, כולם, for joining us today. We have a very exciting call. All four of the fighters participating on the televised portion of בשבת זו Premier Boxing Champions on NBC telecast will be with us. We are going to start with the heavyweights, and before we head to those fighters, I’m going to turn it over to Tom Brown, head of TGB Promotions to tell you a little more about the event and introduce our first set of fighters.

 

טום בראון

ובכן, thank you and thank you very much to the media for joining us on this call. TGB Promotions is very happy working again with PBC on this excellent card to be telecast on NBC בשבת קרובה afternoon from the famed StubHub Center in Carson. The doors openביום שבת ב 11:00 a.m. עם הצלצול הראשון ב 11:15 a.m. We go on live TV starting at12:00 p.m. PT. It’s a huge sports day for NBC. They’re also telecasting the French Open, the Belmont Stakes, and game two of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

 

The main event is former world champion, רוברט גררו (32-3-1 18 קוס) out of Gilroy, קליפורניה. Robert’s no stranger to the southern California boxing fans, having posted two huge wins in recent years: the sensational 12-round decision over Andre Berto in November 2012 down in Ontario, and his epic fight-of-the-year win over Yoshihiro Kamegai on June 21, 2014 at the StubHub Center.

 

אהרון מרטינז, West Covina, קליפורניה יש תיעוד של (19-3-1, 4 קוס). He made his bones on the southern California boxing circuit, and knows how valuable this opportunity to face Guerrero is on such a big platform. Martinez never takes a backward step, never tires, and that’s his primary weapon: incredible stamina. With the styles of Guerrero-Martinez, this main event has all the makings of another action-packed StubHub Center war to add to the venue’s history.

 

In the televised co-main, the opening fight, we’ve got two outstanding, undefeated young heavyweight prospects: מתגורר בארה"ב. Olympian Dominic Breazeale (14-0, 13 קוס). He competed in the 2012 London games, and Yasmany Consuegra (17-0, 14 קוס) outstanding Cuban amateur with a perfect pro record.

 

שוב, הדלתות ייפתחו ב 11:00 a.m. כרטיסים מתחילים ב $25 and we’re looking forward to seeing the great boxing fans of southern California attend this great event.

 

L. מילנר

We’re going to do the heavyweights now. דומיניק, could you make an opening statement before we turn it over to the media?

דומיניק Breazeale

This is Dominic Breazeale. אחר צהריים טובים, גבירותיי ורבותיי. I’m excited to be part of this fantastic card this Saturday, יוני 6ה. Can’t wait to get in the ring and show off my skills.

 

L. מילנר

גדול. תודה לך. And Luis DeCubas Jr. is on the line to translate for Yasmany. לואיס, could you ask him to make just a quick opening statement and then translate that for us?

 

קונסואגרה יסמאני

I want to thank everybody on the call. I want to thank NBC, the PBC, Al Haymon for this opportunity and all the people involved. I look forward to a great fight. ביום שבת, I want to show everyone who I am.

Q

היי, דומיניק, it seems to me it’s safe to say that this is going to be your toughest opponent to date. Would you agree with that, and if so, how excited are you to get this opportunity to move up in competition and show what you’ve been able to learn?

 

D. BREAZEALE

Definitely toughest competition to date thus far. בהחלט, Yasmany is 17-0, 14 קוס. One of those guys that steps in the ring with a ton of confidence. We’re both undefeated fighters and I was extremely excited when I got the call. Thanks to Al and the team. Thanks to NBC, we’ll be able to perform in front of the whole world, nationwide, and I couldn’t ask for more. It’s a great setting, a great way to have a stepping-stone to the next level. I want to be considered the top heavyweight and I guess you’ve got to fight top guys to get there.

 

Q

What do you know about Consuegra?

 

D. BREAZEALE

I know he’s got a great amateur record. I know he did real well in Cuba, the Cuba National team. He had some great fights here in the States. He fought a lot in Florida.I know he’s got a boxing style. I know he’s going to come out tough. Cuban fighters always do.

 

Q

דומיניק, you’ve had a lot of knockouts in your early career in the pros, but this is going to be your biggest fight yet with another undefeated fighter. Can you talk about your transition from the amateur style, which obviously you had to do in the Olympics, to the professional style?

 

D. BREAZEALE:

Like you said, it’s going to be a big fight with a guy that’s undefeated. I’m sure he’s coming in looking to knock me out. I’m coming in to knock him out, בטוח. אבל, amateur transition into the pros, I would say was a little bit easier for myself than it was for most amateurs. החובבנים, a lot of my wins came by way of knockouts, so I’ve been knocking guys out since day one.

 

It’s one of those things that I transitioned from putting punches in bunches to putting punches in bunches with power. I’m throwing a lot more punches now. I’m putting a lot more punches together with power. Every punch I throw has got devastating power. I not only punch with the right hand, but I can punch with the left. So long as I make contact, somebody’s going down for sure.

 

Q

Can you talk about the experience factor? You both fought a number of guys who have a lot of fights under their belt. הקרב האחרון שלו, he defeated Taurus Sykes, who’s been around for a long time, a guy with a winning record. Tell us where you think you’re at. Because eventually, everybody wants to become a world champion, but what level do you think you’re at and how does that compare to Yasmany?

D. BREAZEALE

I think I’m right up there, אם לא, definitely above him. I’ve fought some very experienced guys and guys that have been former Olympians, כמו גם. Guys like Matt Galer, who have been in heavyweight ranks and considered top contenders at one point. Me and Matt put on a great fight.

 

My last fight with Victor Bisbal, that was March 7ה השנה. He’s a Puerto Rican Olympian. He came out with a great amateur background, very good professional background. When I finally beat him he had fought some experienced guys as well, so I definitely have the experience there. Not only as an amateur, but definitely as a pro, מדי.

Q

And a similar question for Yasmany. לי, it looks like this is going to be your biggest fight as a pro. Where do you think you are as a professional at this point? Where do you think you rank overall in the professional ranks?

 

Y. קונסואגרה

It’s definitely my toughest fight. Breazeale’s a real good fighter out of the pros, but I’ve also had a great amateur background. I fought the best of the best, ברור ש. The Cuban heavyweight program is much more difficult than the American heavyweight program, and he was an Olympian, but I won a lot of world amateur tournaments. I look forward to just getting in the ring with Breazeale and showing what I’ve got, because I think I could beat Breazeale, and I think I’m ready for Breazeale. The top guys in the division, I’m going to show them.

 

Q

יסמני, how influenced are you by some of the great Cuban fighters and heavyweights of the past year: Teofilo סטיבנסון, פליקס Savon, ועוד רבים אחרים? How much of a role have they played in influencing your style?

 

Y. קונסואגרה

ברור, Cuba has a great history of Cuban amateur heavyweights. I like to put my style more toward Savon, who is a power puncher, as looking for the knockout at all times. And Stevenson’s a great fighter, but he’s more of a boxer, so was Roberto Balado, but that’s definitely a great point.

Q

How does it feel to be fighting on NBC in front of such a big network audience, especially on a day when you’re going to be right in between French Open final and Stanley Cup game. דומיניק, could you answer that first?

 

D. BREAZEALE

I am definitely excited. I’ve got to thank NBC for giving me the opportunity to fight on this card. It’s a wonderful date. Can’t ask for anything better: southern California, הצהריים. Sun’s going to be out. The weather is going to be great. Great venue at the StubHub Center there. It’s definitely exciting. Whenever I get a chance to perform in front of a hometown crowd, family and friends, and things like that, it brings out the best in me, so I’m definitely looking forward to it and, כמו שאמרתי, I’ve got to thank NBC, אל Haymon, Goossen Promotions for putting this all together. My team, all of you guys, I definitely, truly appreciate it.

 

Q

And Louis, could you ask Yasmany the same question?

 

Y. קונסואגרה

כן, it’s definitely the biggest fight of my life, the biggest fight of my career. At this moment, I’d also like to thank Dominic Breazeale for taking this type of risk. Not too many guys are willing to take these risks to fight an undefeated heavyweight and fight the best. אז, it’s a big day for both of us, and come יום שבת, I’m going to show everybody that I’m one of the top guys in the division.

 

L. מילנר

אוקיי, גדול. תודה לך, שני, so much. We will see you this week for a great event. We have the main event on the line now, so I’m going to turn it back over to Tom Brown to introduce Robert Guerrero and Aaron Martinez. טום, לקחת את זה משם.
T. בראון

אוקיי, גדול. תודה לך. ראשון, I’d like to introduce former world champion, רוברט “Ghost” לוחם, שוב, עם רקורד של 32-3-1 ו 18 קוס, making a quick return to the PBC on NBC.

 

רוברט גררו

I just want to thank everybody for being on and I’m ready to go.

 

T. בראון

אוקיי, we’ve got Aron Martinez here also, עם רקורד של 19-3-1, and he understands how valuable this opportunity is to face Guerrero on such a big platform.

אהרון מרטינז

כן, כמובן, אני כאן. זוהי הזדמנות גדולה עבורי; אני מוכן לקרב. We’re at weight and everything went pretty good at this camp, and what can I say, אחד? Just excited to fight יום שבת.

Q

רוברט, you’re a guy that has fought a lot of big name fighters over a really nice career, an illustrious career. Does it become a little more difficult to get up for a fighter like Aron Martinez who is, kind of unknown, at least as compared to the other guys that you’ve fought?

 

R. לוחם

לא, בכלל לא. Coming off the last fight with a loss at the short end of the stick, it drives you to be hungry. אז, that’s why I wanted to get right back into the ring, stay active. That’s one of the biggest problems with being inactive and not having enough action throughout the year. The year layoffs, a nine-, eight-month layoff, it really kills you, especially at that championship elite level. It’s hard to come back and be 100 percent sharp, so the plan is to just stay sharp all year and get back on it.

 

Q

מה אתה יודע עליו? Do you watch any tapes of your opponents or anything like that?

 

R. לוחם

כן, I’ve watched some tape on him. I watched a few of his fights that I found on YouTube and he’s a crafty little guy. He’s in there and he can fight on the inside. He’s got some good counter shots and he mixes it up. אז, you’ve just got to be ready for everything all around, because you never know what’s going to come your way, especially when this is such a big opportunity for him, fighting on NBC. You know he’s going to come 100 percent ready and that seems to happen all the time when I fight somebody. They come 10 percent better than they were in their last couple of fights, so it’s about being prepared and being ready for whatever comes.

 

Q

Is there any concern about coming back to the ring so soon after a brutal fight like you just had three months ago?

 

R. לוחם

אה, לא, בכלל לא. לי, the fight wasn’t even that brutal. It may have been brutal for Thurman, but I was just getting started toward the end. It actually feels good to get right back in. I got right back into the gym three weeks after that and stayed on it. אז, after I left that ring, I still felt good. My body felt good. I just had that cut, got that taken care of, but other than that, אני מרגיש מצוין. That’s why I’m jumping right back in the ring so quick.

 

Q

I know you’re a well-known fighter throughout your career, but was there any difference after fighting on that show. That was the most viewed fight in quite a long time, being that it was on free TV on a primetime יום שבת לילה. אז, I just want to know if anything changed on your end, like more notoriety.

 

R. לוחם

בהחלט. When you have a 96-year-old woman come up to you in the parking lot and say, “אדם, what a great fight; that reminds me of the olden days of boxing,” it’s nice to see that. And you see all the fans coming around and just the average person that’s at the grocery store recognizing you, it’s huge. It’s not just huge for my career, but it’s huge for boxing.

 

Q

Did that factor into your wanting to come back so soon? I know you said you want to stay sharp, אבל, ברור ש, staying in the public eye helps as well.

 

רוברט גררו: אה, בהחלט. Out of sight, out of mind. So you want to stay active, you want to stay busy; you want to stay sharp. You want to stay in the public eye to make that big run before time passes.

 

Q

Aron, I just have one question for you. You’ve been out of the ring for over a year since your fight with Josesito. Was there any reason for that delay? Could you just not get fights or did you just want to take the time off to clear your head?
A. מרטינז

It was just with my promoter, little here and there, they were not giving me the right fights. Anybody that knows me, I stayed in the gym, because that’s what makes it easy for me, making weight. I never have trouble making weight and that goes to show that I stay active. I stay active in the gym and that’s what it is.

 

Q

My question is for Robert Guerrero. I was a little disappointed to see that it took you quite a while to get into the fight with Keith Thurman. Do you feel like that’s going to be something you’re going to change for this fight with Aron, is taking off right off the bat, סיבוב ראשון?

 

R. לוחם

כן, it goes back to being active in the ring. Everybody says, גם, אני מרגיש מצוין, there’s no ring rust, and this and that, but you truly don’t know until you get into that ring. לאחר מכן, those long layoffs really kill me. You develop bad habits. You lay back a little bit too much, and you end up getting started a little bit late like I did in the Thurman fight. But when I did get started, there was no stopping me.

 

אז, that’s why I want to stay active and stay in the ring. Like I said before, it’s being inactive, not being in the ring fighting. You develop habits where you do start off slowly and I felt like after the fight, when I looked back on it, it felt like I was starting off like I was sparring and just working into it, warming up, and then getting started. Glad to get that fight out of the way and shake off that ring rust, and it’s time to make that push.

 

Q

First question for Robert. Can you talk about getting up for this fight, because you fought such top level opponents and championship fights, Thurman and Mayweather and higher profile fights, and I think in this fight, you’re going to come in as a favorite. Can you talk about making sure that you don’t overlook Aron Martinez and staying sharp and getting up mentally.

 

R. לוחם

You never want to overlook anybody. לא אכפת לי מי זה. You’ve got two hands, you can throw a punch. כל דבר יכול לקרות בטבעת. אז, you never want to overlook anybody. I found that out earlier in my career with a loss against Gamaliel Diaz. I was overlooking him, thought I was going to take him out and he ended up out-boxing me. He beat me by one point.

 

אז, it’s one of those things where you live and learn. You learn your lesson throughout the years and at this level of boxing and competition, you’ve got to just be able to get up and do your job and be prepared for everything. אז, it’s not a problem. It’s like second nature to me. I wake up every day. I run. I do my gym work. If I don’t do it, it feels like I’m cheating, because I’ve been doing it since I was a kid. אז, it’s just being well-prepared and I’m always well-prepared for every fight, as you’ve seen through my previous fights. I come to fight no matter what.

 

Q

What do you think your advantages are over him coming into this fight?
R. לוחם

Maybe the arm reach, the hand speed, the height. It’s a matter of not just having the advantages, but putting them to work and using them, and sticking to your game plan and being well prepared and being able to execute. אז, it’s time to react when you get in that ring and what you’re going to do with everything to make it happen.

 

Q

Aron, I think Robert’s going to be the one coming in as the favorite in this fight, but I just noticed on a lot of the PBC cards, there have been a lot of upsets and unexpected outcomes coming in. Tell us why you’re going in expecting to win and what the effect is being on the PBC card on NBC. Does that add something special to this?
A. מרטינז

Yes of course. It’s on national TV at StubHub Center, this is where I grew up. It’s my home base. יש לי 23 קרבות. Out of these 23 קרבות, I’ve never been the favorite; I’ve always been the underdog. I’m not even supposed to be at this stage. That’s what I’m looking forward to. I’ve never been the favorite in any of my fights, so I come out for every fight. I know Rob, he’s an excellent champion; he’s been in with the best. He knows I train hard for this fight because I really want it and it and I’m going to lay it all on the line. This is what I’m talking about. I’m on to show everybody.

 

Q

You’re coming off a little over a year layoff as you explained earlier, and he’s coming off just a three-month layoff after a 12-round fight. Do you think that’s going to factor into this fight, especially if it goes the distance?

 

A. מרטינז

לא. It’s like what Robert said. You don’t really know until you get in the ring. We could say a bunch of things now, but you never know until you get in the ring and you actually feel it, because once you’re in the ring, it’s a whole different story, how it’s going to be. We train really, really hard for this fight, ואנחנו מוכנים. It’s whatever I’ve got to do, I’ve got to do. We fight inside we box, whatever. We’re ready for whatever comes our way.
Q

Aron obviously, I know you’re up for this fight, and Robert’s already expressed that he’s trained for this fight and he’s expecting the very best from you, it’s been asked twice on this call if Robert is overlooking you. Do you find that disrespectful that nobody is giving you a shot in this fight? Or do you just use it as extra motivation?

 

A. מרטינז

לא. I don’t find it that way. It’s what it is. Robert has been up there with the best. And I don’t find it disrespectful; it’s just what it is, and it makes me train harder and just to make a point that who I am and they’re going to see Aron Martinez in there ביום שבת and they’re going to see who I am.

 

L. מילנר

אוקיי, that was our last question. רוברט, do you want to make a closing comment?

 

R. לוחם

כן. I just want to thank everybody. Thank Al Haymon and thank my team and thank everybody who’s been putting in the work to get this together, and I’m coming to fightיום שבת לילה. אני מוכן ללכת. I’m excited and going on right before the Belmont Stakes and it’s a big event leading into another big event. אז, I’m excited and I just can’t wait to fight.

 

The thing is staying active all year and doing my job and giving the fans what they love to see and giving them a great fight. אז, thank all the fans and thank everybody that’s on the conference call. I really appreciate it and God bless everybody.

 

L. מילנר

אוקיי, תודה. אהרון, do you want to make a closing comment?

 

A. מרטינז

כן, I want to thank NBC, PBC and all. Goossen for giving me this chance to show what I’ve got ביום שבת, and I thank Robert, and just give a good show to everybody ביום שבת, and I’m ready to push off and I’m ready to go. תודה, כולם.
ליסה מילנר: תודה לך. Fight week events start מחר ב 11:00 a.m. at the Wild Card West Boxing Gym with a media workout and I hope to see everybody there. תודה רבה לך. Thanks to the fighters. תודה, טום בראון, and thanks to the media.

דומיניק “תקלה” BREAZEALE OPENS UP PBC ON NBC LIVE TELECAST & FACES UNDEFEATED CUBAN HEAVYWEIGHT YASMANY CONSUEGRA

גבעות, קליפורניה (יוני 3, 2015) – למעלה מתגורר בארה"ב. סיכוי במשקל כבד דומיניק “צרות” BREAZEALE (14-0, 13 KO של) makes his return to the ring בשבת קרובה אחר הצהריים, June 6th at the StubHub Center in Carson, קליפורניה. BREAZEALE, takes another step up in competition and faces Cuban heavyweight Yasmany Consuegra (17-0, 14 KO של) in a battle of undefeated heavyweights. The televised bout will support the Robert Guerrero-Arron Martinez main-event and will open up the Premier Boxing Champions (נכסים ובניין) live telecast on NBC.

The 2012 מתגורר בארה"ב. Olympian is coming off of a solid win against heavyweight veteran Victor Bisbal this past March during the inaugural PBC on NBC series. Breazeale showed true heart and resilience after experiencing the first knockdown of his career early in the first round of the bout. Breazeale recovered quickly and dominated Bisbal until the bout was stopped in the fourth round, resulting in Breazeale’s 14th win and 13th by knockout.

Immediately following the bout with Bisbal, Breazeale asked his advisor Al Haymon for another tough-quality opponent and Breazeale was granted his request.

My last bout with Bisbal was by far the toughest opponent I have ever shared the ring with. He caught me with a good shot and I recovered quickly. I shook it off and ended up stopping him a couple of rounds later. לאחר התקף, I wasn’t happy that I was knocked down although many people told me that I showed resilience and that is what champions are made of. עדיין, I wanted another tough opponent and Al Haymon gave me the opportunity,” said Breazeale.

In addition to the quality opponent, Breazeale now has the chance to make an impression on many avid and casual boxing fans who will be watching the bout live on NBC יום שבת אחר הצהריים, an opportunity Breazeale welcomes and is thankful for.

“זה חלום שהתגשם עבורי. Some of my previous bouts have been televised in the past, but not on a prime-time network where millions of people will be tuning in and see an American heavyweight like me. The heavyweight division is the most popular division in boxing because of its excitement and this is a bout between two undefeated heavyweights.” 

If this bout turns out as well as Breazeale has worked so hard for, he is looking to transition from a top prospect to a contender. Since turning professional two and a half years ago, Breazeale has been on the fast track to the world heavyweight title and has been learning from every training camp and fight thereafter under the tutelage of trainer John Bray.

I know I still have some room to

/ ג תמונות o צוות ריזיל

grow. I’ve been learning in the gym everyday and with every bout that I have had. רק 14 professional bouts so far, I feel that I have fought tougher opposition at this particular point of my career than the current American world heavyweight champion did in his first fourteen bouts. With the platform I have been provided בשבת קרובה, I intend to make the best of it and will definitely give the fans watching at home an entertaining fight and hope to make a name for myself in the heavyweight division.”

BOSTON (מאי 21, 2015) – לוחמי משתתפים ביום שבת של אלופי אגרוף לראש הממשלה, ב NBC card took part in the final press conference today at historic Fenway Park in Boston before their respective fights at Agganis Arena, with televised coverage starting at 4:30 p.m. ו/1:30 p.m. PT.

 

כרטיסים לאירוע בשידור חי, המקודם על ידי DiBella בידור בשיתוף עם מרפי אגרוף, מתומחרים ב $250, $200, $100, $75, $50 ו $35, לא כולל דמי שירות החלים ומסים, והם מוצעים עתה למכירה.

 

הנה מה שהיו לי משתתפי מסיבת העיתונאים לומר:

 

ANDRE DIRRELL

 

A title means everything. It completes you as a fighter. That’s the top of the food chain in this sport, and that’s the pedestal we’re all trying to reach – אלוף העולם. Everybody wants to be a world champion. The greats had it and now we want it. It would mean more for my city, המשפחה שלי והחברים שלי, and it’s something I’ll always be able to look back it. It would put me in the record books for life.

 

DeGale is not quiet. Today he’s chilling, maybe because he’s a little out of his comfort zone. But there’s a lot of tension when you’re standing right there next to your opponent. He might just be a little cranky today.

 

I like to lighten the mood and stay comfortable. This is all a part of the game. Let’s have fun now. It’s ass-kicking time when we get in that ring, but outside it’s all love.

 

There was a time when I didn’t want to do interviews. I didn’t want to go to fights. I didn’t want to hear fans online and on social media. I closed all them down because I didn’t want to hear people ask, ‘When are you fighting again? Talking about talent wasted, or saying I’m glad he’s gone.It hurt because there was nothing I could do. I was powerless even with all the power in the world.

ג'יימס דה גאל

 

Andre says the belt doesn’t mean anything to him in the fight – גם, the belt means everything to me and more. I am here to make history and it doesn’t happen without that title.

 

I could win ביום שבת night and retire a happy manthat’s how much I want to beat Andre Dirrell. But when I do win that title, I am going for the rest of the belts, creating a lasting legacy for my country, my fans and myself.

 

Andre is a classy fighter and he showed in the press conference that he is a classy guy toowhen two fighters who believe in their ability 100 percent and know they are going to win a fight, it is going to be explosive.

 

There’s nothing but respect between us, but ultimately, we’re going to take each other to dark territory ביום שבת לילה, it’s going to be a brutal battleand one that I am going to win.

 

אדווין רודריגז

 

This is home for me and I’m thrilled. I know I have a good undefeated fighter in front me, so I’m looking forward to a competitive matchup. זה הולך להיות קרב גדול עבור האוהדים.

 

This is an exciting day for me. I saw Pedro Martinez pitch so many times here at Fenway and he’s going into the Hall of Fame. כמו כן, my fellow countrymen Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz have made so much history here.

 

Being here today and then having the weigh-in at Faneuil Hall מחר and fighting ביום שבת, it’s just an amazing experience.

 

קרייג BAKER

“זוהי הזדמנות גדולה עבורי. I’ve dreamed of fighting on a grand scale like this since I first started boxing.

 

The entire experience has been awesome. It’s going to be an interesting fight. I’m going to keep coming forward. I’m going to keep boxing all night.

 

Everyone should look forward to an action packed night, I know it’s going to be an interesting matchup.

 

דני או'קונור

 

A couple of years ago Ken Casey and I talked about bringing boxing back to the city of Boston. Fast-forward to today and we’re doing it.

 

I’m excited to be part of it and to see boxing in Boston blossom. It’s good for the city and all the young boxers in this area.

 

I know I have a tough opponent in front of me and I won’t take him lightly. I’m planning on putting on a show for the fans come יום שבת הלילה.”

 

CHRIS GILBERT

 

I’m an aggressive come forward, in your face boxer from the first bell to the last.

 

I was full steam ahead when I got the call for this fight. I train all the time, I don’t take breaks and I’m always looking for an opportunity. אני לא יכול להיות מאושר יותר.

 

Danny O’Connor is one of the best in my weight division in New England. Everything he does, he does well.

 

I just need to keep my head and continue to come forward, I can’t get frustrated. I’m going 100 percent the full way through. If I’m busy and I fight smart I get good outcomes.

See here what the participants had to say Wednesday:

 

ANDRE DIRRELL

 

I always knew my day would come. I put in the work, I love this sport so I give it what I owe.

 

I’m happy to get a shot at another title. I’m not going to take it for granted. I’m going to put in my work and perform to the best of my ability and that will make me a world champion.

 

I’m glad to be getting in there with somebody who believes he can win. I want someone who will test me like I’ll test them. That’s a real championship fight.

 

I’m much hungrier than I was early in my career and I’m more focused mentally. With age comes wisdom. Everything I went through is all a blessing.

 

My goals are set and I’m going to accomplish every one.

 

ג'יימס דה גאל

 

Dirrell’s team is trying to get in my head. They must be scared. I’m wound up and I’m ready.

 

I’m obsessed with making history. It’s what drives me to work so hard in the gym and succeed in the ring.

 

It’s been a 16-week camp come fight night, so it’s been a long time. My body and mind feel ready to fight, I am so sharp and in a very good place.

 

He’s a tricky, מוּכשָׁר, confident fighterhe believes in his ability. He said that he would not get beaten again in his career, and I am sure he believes that 100 אחוזים. So you have two very confident fighters going into the ring ביום שבת.

 

I’m going to show everybody who I am. I’m driven to become the first Olympic gold medalist from the U.K. to win a world title and I’m doing it for my country.

 

אדווין רודריגז

 

It’s an extremely important fight because it’s so close to my home.

 

I’m excited to be fighting on NBC. This is a great opportunity for me to be back at the elite level.

 

It’s important for me to get this win and get into a big fight against the best. I know I have to look impressive and that’s what I plan on.

 

דני או'קונור

I was disappointed in my fight with Paulie Malignaggi dropping out but there are always positives and one of them is that I’m now fighting in my hometown of Boston.

 

I do a lot of work in and out of the ring to prepare for a fight. I’m full focused now on fighting Chris Gilbert.

 

I want to thank all the people who helped get me onto this card, including Murphys Boxing, I promise I’m going to put on a show come יום שבת.”

 

CHRIS GILBERT

 

“זו הזדמנות ענקית עבורי. I’ve known about Danny since I started boxing and I’ve even been on a few cards with him.

 

Danny has been the top New England fighter in my division and you always want to compare your skills with somebody like him.

 

I was in Vermont and I’m always in top shape prepared to get a call to fight and this here is that big opportunity.

 

GARY “SPIKE” אוסליבן

 

This is absolutely awesome fighting here and it’s a very important fight for me to go win.

 

When I knock out my opponent ביום שבת, I want to be the number one contender in the division and fight all the big names.

 

ריאן KIELCZWESKI

It’s awesome fighting in Boston in front of my home crowd with all of my friends, family and friends in attendance.

 

Fighting on the undercard of this huge event with so many great fights makes the experience even better and one I’ll never forget.

Fighting in the Boston Garden was a great honor, never mind in a world title fight, but even a four rounder,” אמר טוני דה מרקו, who won the welterweight world title in 1955 at the Boston Garden. “I had more fights there than anybody (28), including my pro debut. It’s always good fighting at home. You’re more comfortable at home. The fans know and honor you. Boston fans were real fight fans.

 

Boston has been deeply invested in boxing since the early 20ה century. מ 1902-1908 the small town of Chelsea that borders Boston became the mecca for boxing as the sport was banned throughout most of America. עם זאת, Chelsea had a special ordinance that legalized boxing. It was during this time that Jack Johnson was faced with what he admitted was the toughest fight of his career, when he defended his heavyweight title against Sam Langford on April 6, 1906. Johnson won by a 15-round unanimous decision and refused to fight Langford again.

Fighting in Boston was a great experience,” אמר ג'ון רואיז, a two-time heavyweight world champion from Chelsea. “Like any sport, Boston sports fans are true fans who follow your progress. I could feel their emotion wherever I fought. I will never forget them. I fought in Las Vegas a lot and there were always Boston fans there supporting me. I always appreciated them traveling all over the country to my fights.

 

A father-son duo from Arlington, מסה. both had an impact on the heavyweight landscape decades after each other. טום מקנילי fought heavyweight world champion פלויד פטרסון ב 1961 and dropped the champion before eventually succumbing to a fourth round knockout. Over 30 years later, his son פיטר was the first man to fight מייק טייסון after he was released from prison, with the fight ending in McNeeley being disqualified.
