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.

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.

 

“To je velika priložnost zame, 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.

 

Dominic BREAZEALE

 

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 to soboto popoldne.

 

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.

 

JESUS ​​Cuéllar

 

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 v soboto.

 

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.

I will demolish this kid v soboto, I have much more experience.

 

He has no idea what’s going to happen.

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

I’m so happy to be here in Los Angeles and fighting so close to home. "Dog’ is coming back and you’ll see that v soboto.

 

“Zelo sem navdušena, da se nazaj v ring. 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.

 

OSCAR MOLINA

 

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 v soboto.

 

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 v soboto.

CINCINNATI’S ADRIEN BRONER & AKRON’S SHAWN PORTER DISCUSS WHAT IT MEANS TO BE AN OHIO CHAMPION

Broner & Porter Square Off On Sobota, Junij 20 On Premier Boxing Champions on NBC Live From MGM Grand Garden Arena

Na 8:30 P.m. IN/5:30 P.m. PT

LAS VEGAS (Junij 4, 2015) – While the eyes of the sports world are fixated on game 1 of the NBA Finals between LeBron JamesCleveland Cavaliers and Stephen Curry’s Golden State Warriors Nocoj, two other great Ohio athletes will look to bring the glory of victory home with them when Adrien “Problem” Broner in “Showtime” Shawn Porter meet in the ring on Premier Boxing prvakov na NBC na Sobota, Junij 20 (8:30 p.m. IN/5:30 p.m. PT).

 

Both of these fighters have joined the list of Ohio-born world champions that include boxing greats such as Ray “Boom Boom” Mancini, Aaron Pryor, Buster Douglas and Kelly Pavlik.

 

The all-Ohio battle comes in the midst of an exciting time for Ohio sports. In addition to the Ohio State University football team’s national championship winning performance in January, Akron’s own LeBron James and his Cleveland Cavaliers are attempting bring the city of Cleveland its first professional sports championship since 1964.

 

Here is what Broner and Porter had to say about Ohio sports, LeBron and more:

 

Did you root for Ohio-sports teams growing up? Which ones were your favorite and who were your favorite players? What’s your favorite memory of watching Ohio sports teams?

Adrien Broner:I grew up watching the Cincinnati Bengals and the Cleveland Cavaliers. I didn’t start watching basketball until I was playing more of it in elementary and high school. That’s when LeBron first came into the league. I remember LeBron’s very first game in Cleveland. It was huge. Most players freeze under that kind of hype, but not him.

Shawn Porter: “I’ve always been a huge Browns fan. I’ve tried to watch every draft and every preseason and regular season game. I got into the Cavaliers a little more when I was in high school. I’m an all around Ohio sports fan though.

How would you describe Ohio-sports fans? How badly do you want to win for them?

AB:Ohio fans are very supportive. Some other states don’t like us because we come out strong. I would love to win for the fans in Ohio because bringing a championship back there means a lot to me. I’ve done it three times already and I’m looking for a fourth. You always want that rush again.

SP: We’re crazy! Cleveland fans root for their teams with a love and respect that’s admirable. Whether it’s good days or bad days we’re faithful and trying to stay positive. It would be huge for me to win for the fans here and represent Ohio. I’m doing this for everyone in Northeast Ohio. This is a statement about a great kid from Ohio representing the people there and winning another big fight.

How important was LeBron James returning to Cleveland for the psyche of Ohio sports?

AB: “LeBron coming home was very important because he’s made the Cavs so much better. With him in Cleveland we’re back in the championship series.

SP: “LeBron coming home was huge. If he didn’t return I don’t know what we’d have done. There probably would have been more riots. But him coming back brought joy to all of us in Ohio. That’s part of our job as professional athletes to bring joy and positivity to family, friends and the fans. That’s exactly what he did by returning to Cleveland.

 

Will you be watching the Cavaliers in the NBA Finals? Do you have a prediction for the series?

AB: “I’ll definitely be watching the games. No training until after the game Nocoj. I think Cleveland wins it all in six games.

SP: “Jaz ne bi napovedi. I’m praying for the Cavs to do this for the city and for themselves. Hopefully they can pull it together and get what they deserve. It would be a great to get a win for the team and for NE Ohio. I’ll be watching every game on my projection screen.

Describe what it’s like to fight in front of a hometown crowd in Ohio?

AB: It’s always fun fighting at home in front of a lot of people who know you. Even when your back is against the wall they cheer and help push me on.

 

SP: “Odkrito, all the crowds are the same when I’m in the ring. I’m actually looking forward to fighting in the big arena at MGM Grand though. I kind of like having a mix of people in the crowd with some for and some against me.

Is there more pressure and emphasis on performing well on Junij 20 to walk away with bragging rights in Ohio?

AB:I think I already have the bragging rights in Ohio.

SP: There’s no added pressure, it honestly doesn’t matter to me like that. This is first and foremost about my team. We’re successful as a team and as a family.

If you could meet one athlete from or who played in the state of Ohio who would it be?

AB: “I’d have to say myself.

SP: I met my all-time favorite Cris Carter already. Cris is from Ohio and went to Ohio State. I haven’t met Charles Woodson or LeBron though. Charles is from here, but he went to Michigan for college. But I’d really love to meet LeBron because he’s still doing his thing and he has that burning desire to win. I need to have that same desire and I’m learning that from watching him play.

Lisa Milner

Hvala, vsi, for joining us today. We have a very exciting call. All four of the fighters participating on the televised portion of to soboto je 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.

 

Tom Brown

Dobro, 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 to soboto afternoon from the famed StubHub Center in Carson. The doors openv soboto pri 11:00 a.m. s prvim zvonom pri 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, Robert Guerrero (32-3-1 18 Kos) out of Gilroy, California. 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.

 

Aaron Martinez, West Covina, California ima evidenco (19-3-1, 4 Kos). 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: U.S.. Olympian Dominic Breazeale (14-0, 13 Kos). He competed in the 2012 London games, and Yasmany Consuegra (17-0, 14 Kos) outstanding Cuban amateur with a perfect pro record.

 

Spet, Vrata se bodo odprla ob 11:00 a.m. Vstopnice začnejo pri $25 and we’re looking forward to seeing the great boxing fans of southern California attend this great event.

 

L. Milner

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

Dominic Breazeale

This is Dominic Breazeale. Good afternoon, dame in gospodje. I’m excited to be part of this fantastic card this Saturday, Junij 6th. Can’t wait to get in the ring and show off my skills.

 

L. Milner

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

 

Consuegra Yasmany

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. V soboto, I want to show everyone who I am.

Q

Hej, Dominic, 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. Definitivno, Yasmany is 17-0, 14 Kos. 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

Dominic, 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, zagotovo. Vendar, amateur transition into the pros, I would say was a little bit easier for myself than it was for most amateurs. The amateurs, 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. Njegov zadnji boj, 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, če ne, definitely above him. I’ve fought some very experienced guys and guys that have been former Olympians, kot tudi. 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 7th tega leta. 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, preveč.

Q

And a similar question for Yasmany. Za mene, 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. Consuegra

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, očitno. 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

Yasmany, how influenced are you by some of the great Cuban fighters and heavyweights of the past year: Teofilo Stevenson, Felix Savon, and many others? How much of a role have they played in influencing your style?

 

Y. Consuegra

Očitno, 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. Dominic, 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, opoldne. 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, like I said, I’ve got to thank NBC, Al 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. Consuegra

Ja, 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. Torej, it’s a big day for both of us, and come Sobota, I’m going to show everybody that I’m one of the top guys in the division.

 

L. Milner

Ok, velika. Hvala, oboje, 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. Tom, ga odnese.
T. Brown

Ok, velika. Hvala. Prva, I’d like to introduce former world champion, Robert “Ghost” Warrior, spet, s poročilom o 32-3-1 in 18 Kos, making a quick return to the PBC on NBC.

 

Robert Guerrero

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

 

T. Brown

Ok, we’ve got Aron Martinez here also, s poročilom o 19-3-1, and he understands how valuable this opportunity is to face Guerrero on such a big platform.

Aron Martinez

Ja, Seveda, Tukaj sem,. To je odlična priložnost za mene; I’m ready for battle. We’re at weight and everything went pretty good at this camp, and what can I say, ena? Just excited to fight Sobota.

Q

Robert, 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. Warrior

Ne, not at all. Coming off the last fight with a loss at the short end of the stick, it drives you to be hungry. Torej, 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

Kaj veš o njem? Do you watch any tapes of your opponents or anything like that?

 

R. Warrior

Ja, 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. Torej, 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. Warrior

Oh, ne, not at all. Za mene, 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. Torej, 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, Počutim se odlično. 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 Sobota noč. Torej, I just want to know if anything changed on your end, like more notoriety.

 

R. Warrior

Definitivno. When you have a 96-year-old woman come up to you in the parking lot and say, “Man, 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, vendar, očitno, staying in the public eye helps as well.

 

Robert Guerrero: Oh, vsekakor. 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. Martinez

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, Prvi krog?

 

R. Warrior

Ja, it goes back to being active in the ring. Everybody says, dobro, Počutim se odlično, there’s no ring rust, and this and that, but you truly don’t know until you get into that ring. Potem, 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.

 

Torej, that’s why I want to stay active and stay in the ring. Kot sem rekel prej, 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. Warrior

You never want to overlook anybody. Ne zanima me, kdo je to. You’ve got two hands, you can throw a punch. Kaj se lahko zgodi v ringu. Torej, 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.

 

Torej, 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. Torej, 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. Torej, 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. Warrior

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. Torej, 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. Martinez

Yes of course. It’s on national TV at StubHub Center, this is where I grew up. It’s my home base. I’ve got 23 pretepi. Out of these 23 pretepi, 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. Martinez

Ne. 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, in smo pripravljeni. 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. Martinez

Ne. 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 v soboto and they’re going to see who I am.

 

L. Milner

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

 

R. Warrior

Da. 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 fightSobota noč. Jaz sem pripravljen iti. I’m excited and going on right before the Belmont Stakes and it’s a big event leading into another big event. Torej, 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. Torej, thank all the fans and thank everybody that’s on the conference call. I really appreciate it and God bless everybody.

 

L. Milner

Ok, thanks. Aaron, do you want to make a closing comment?

 

A. Martinez

Da, I want to thank NBC, PBC and all. Goossen for giving me this chance to show what I’ve got v soboto, and I thank Robert, and just give a good show to everybody v soboto, and I’m ready to push off and I’m ready to go. Hvala, vsi.
Lisa Milner: Hvala. Fight week events start jutri pri 11:00 a.m. at the Wild Card West Boxing Gym with a media workout and I hope to see everybody there. Najlepša hvala. Thanks to the fighters. Hvala, Tom Brown, and thanks to the media.

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

Visokogorska, California (Junij 3, 2015) – Top U.S.. težka pričakovanje Dominic “Trouble” BREAZEALE (14-0, 13 KO je) makes his return to the ring to soboto popoldne, June 6th at the StubHub Center in Carson, California. BREAZEALE, takes another step up in competition and faces Cuban heavyweight Yasmany Consuegra (17-0, 14 KO je) 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 (PBC) live telecast on NBC.

The 2012 U.S.. 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. Po izbruhu, 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. Vedno, 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 Sobota popoldne, an opportunity Breazeale welcomes and is thankful for.

“To je sanje za mene. 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

grow. I’ve been learning in the gym everyday and with every bout that I have had. In just 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 to soboto, 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.” 

Vstopnice za dogodek v živo, ki ga spodbuja TGB Promocije, stanejo $200, $150, $100, $50 in $25, plus veljavni davki, honorarji in stroški storitev, so na prodaj zdaj in so na voljo za nakup na spletu na AXS.com.

GILROY, KOT (Maj 26, 2015) – While entering the final days of training camp, four-division world champion, Robert “Ghost” Warrior (32-3-1, 18 Kos), gives his thoughts on his upcoming PBC on NBC main-event attraction against Aron Martinez. The 10-round bout will take place at StubHub Center in Carson, Kaliforniji., Junij 6, 2015 and will air live on NBC starting at 3:00 p.m. IN/12:00 p.m. PT.

 

On fighting in the PBC on NBC main-event:

First I really want to thank Al Haymon for bringing boxing back to the fans. This is another wonderful opportunity where fans from all walks of life can see me fight on NBC for free. PBC on NBC has taken boxing back to its glory days and I’m honored to be headlining my second show. Everyone knows I come to fight and you can expect the same when I step in the ring with Martinez.

 

On staying active

When a fighter is constantly staying busy, it makes a world of difference. My timing is down, my body is used to the rigorous training. When I’m on the grind, I perform at a much higher level. This will be the first time I’ve had back to back fights in a very long time. Everyone watching this fight will see the difference in my fighting style.

 

On fighting at the StubHub Center

The StubHub Center is probably my favorite venue to fight in. The fans are incredible. Everyone has a great seat and you can feel the energy from the crowd while you’re fighting. It’s like there right on top of you. For some reason the StubHub Center brings out the warrior spirit in everyone. It’s a great place to fight!”

 

Na trening kampu…

“Usposabljanje tabor je bil tekoč super. Like I mentioned before, when you stay active, everything flows a lot smoother. I’ve taken my sparring sessions to a new level. I’m quicker on my feet and my timing is spot on. My dad Ruben who trains me, is really happy with my progress. Everything has come together really nice. It’s time to go to war!”

Tukaj je tisto, kar tiskovne udeleženci konference imeli za povedati:

 

ANDRE DIRRELL

 

“Naslov pomeni vse. To vam dokonča kot borec. To je vrh prehranjevalne verige v tem športu, in da je podstavek smo vsi poskušali doseči – svetovni prvak. Vsakdo si želi, da bo svetovni prvak. Velikani jo imeli, in zdaj smo ga želeli. To bi pomenilo več za mojega mesta, moja družina in moji prijatelji, in to je nekaj, da bom vedno lahko, da se ozremo ga. To bi me dal v knjigo rekordov za življenje.

 

“DeGale ni tiho. Danes je hlajenje, Mogoče zato, ker je malo ven iz svojega območja udobja. Ampak tam je veliko napetosti, ko stojiš tam zraven svojega nasprotnika. On lahko samo malo tečen danes.

 

“Všeč mi je, da osvetlite razpoloženje in udobno bivanje. Vse to je del igre. Imejmo zabavo zdaj. To je rit-brcanje čas, ko smo dobili v tem obroču, ampak zunaj nje je vse ljubezen.

 

“Tam je bil čas, ko nisem hotel narediti intervjuje. Nisem hotel, da gredo na boje. Nisem želel slišati navijače na spletu in na družabnih medijih. Zaprl sem vse jih dol, ker nisem hotel slišati ljudje vprašajo, "Ko ste spet boj? Govorimo o talent zapravlja, ali pa rekel, da sem vesel, da se je šel.’ Bolelo me je, ker ni bilo ničesar, kar sem lahko naredil. Bil sem brez moči, tudi z vso močjo v svetu.”

JAMES DEGALE

 

“Andre pravi, pas ne pomeni ničesar, da mu je v boju – dobro, pas mi pomeni vse in še več. Tukaj sem, da zgodovino in se ne zgodi brez tega naslova.

 

“Sem lahko zmagal v soboto noč in se upokojijo srečen človek – da je, koliko bi rad premagal Andre Dirrell. Toda, ko sem naredil zmagati ta naziv, Jaz grem za preostanek trakov, ustvarja trajno zapuščino za mojo državo, moji ventilatorji in jaz.

 

“Andre je classy borec in je pokazal na novinarski konferenci, ki je classy fant preveč – ko dva borca, ki verjamejo v njihovo sposobnost, 100 odstotkov, in vedo, da se bo za zmago boj, da se bo eksploziv.

 

“Nič, ampak spoštovanja med nami, ampak na koncu, bomo vzeli seboj na temno območje v soboto noč, to se dogaja, da je brutalno bitko – in tisti, ki bom zmagal.”

 

EDWIN RODRIGUEZ

 

“To je dom za mene in sem navdušena. Vem, da imam dober nepremagan borec pred me, tako da sem veseli, da konkurenčno matchup. To se dogaja, da se velik boj za oboževalce.

 

“To je razburljiv dan zame. Videl sem Pedro Martinez smola tolikokrat tukaj na Fenway in on se dogaja v Hall of Fame. Prav tako, moji rojaki Manny Ramirez in David Ortiz, ki so se toliko zgodovine tukaj.

 

“Biti danes tukaj in nato ob tehtanje na Faneuil Hall jutri in spopadov v soboto, to je samo neverjetno doživetje.

 

CRAIG BAKER

“To je odlična priložnost za mene. Sem sanjal o boju v velikem obsegu, kot je ta, odkar sem prvič začel boks.

 

“Celotna izkušnja je bila super. To se dogaja, da bo zanimiv boj. Bom vztrajati bodoč naprej. Grem, da boks vso noč.

 

“Vsakdo bi moral veselim akcijski zapakirane noč, Vem, da bo zanimivo matchup.”

 

DANNY O'CONNOR

 

“Pred nekaj leti Ken Casey in sem govoril o prinašanju boks nazaj v mestu Boston. Hitre naprej do danes, in to delamo.

 

“Jaz sem navdušena, da se del nje in da vidim, boks v Boston cvet. To je dobro za mesto in vseh mladih boksarjev na tem področju.

“Danny O'Connor je eden izmed najboljših v moji teži delitev v Novi Angliji. Vse, kar počne, počne dobro.

ANDRE DIRRELL

 

I always knew my day would come. Vložil sem se v delo, 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.

 

JAMES DEGALE

 

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, talented, 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 odstotkov. So you have two very confident fighters going into the ring v soboto.

 

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.

 

EDWIN RODRIGUEZ

 

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.

 

DANNY O'CONNOR

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 Sobota.”

 

CHRIS GILBERT

 

This is a huge opportunity for me. 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” O'SULLIVAN

 

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

 

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

 

RYAN 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.

BIG-TIME BOXING RETURNS TO BOSTON ON SATURDAY, MAJ 23 WITH PREMIER BOXING CHAMPIONS ON NBC
