Lou DiBella

Gràcies, everybody for joining us for Premier Boxing Champions on NBC press call. The card is Saturday, Maig 23rd. That’s the Dissabte of Memorial Day weekend at Boston’s Agganis Arena. The start time on NBC is 4:30 p.m. I/1:30 p.m. PT.

 

Les entrades per a l'esdeveniment en viu, which is being promoted in associated with Murphys Boxing are priced at $250, $200, $100, $75, $50 i $35, and they’re available at ticketmaster.com. Per comprar-los per telèfon, trucar a Ticketmaster a 800-745-3000. De nou, the NBC broadcast goes on at 4:30 p.m. I/1:30 p.m. PT.

 

We’re going to start the call by talking to our co-main event fighters, the guys are going to open the telecast. That’s light-heavyweight contender Edwin Rodriguez taking on undefeated light-heavyweight contender Craig Baker. Craig is 10-0 amb 12 KO. He’s coming off a KO of highly regarded Umberto Savigne in his last fight and he’s looking to upset the apple cart and derail the career of Edwin Rodriguez who’s looking for another shot at a world title; this time at 175 lliura.

 

Craig is promoted by Sampson Boxing. Craig, if you’d like to say a few words.

 

Craig Baker,

Bé, I’m just grateful to have the opportunity to fight on such a grand field again. It clearly is what I dream about. It’s one of those things I’ve always looked forward to since I was little bity kid.

 

L. DiBella

Gràcies. Edwin Rodríguez, the pride of Worchester, Massachusetts and is fighting in his home state. This is his second fight at light heavyweight. His only loss is to Andre Ward, one of the pound-for-pound fighters in the world and Edwin believes at light heavyweight he’s stronger, better and that he can win the title. Així, Edwin, li agradaria dir unes poques paraules?

 

Edwin Rodríguez

Sí. Abans de res, I’d like to thank you, Lou, for bringing me back on NBC and giving me such a great opportunity and also to Al Haymon and the NBC crew. I’m ready to show the world that I’m one of the best or the best 175 pound fighter in the world. I just got to prove it and this is one of the steps to do it, fighting an undefeated fighter, Craig Baker,, who’s hungry and I’m excited because I know that he’s hungry; I’m hungry to get at that elite level. It’s going to be a great fight for the fans.

 

Q

Sí, I have a question for each of you if you don’t mind. Craig, how do you feel about fighting Edwin so close to his hometown?

 

C. Forner

At the end of the day that doesn’t really matter to me because everyone is out to pretty much beat the crap out of you. Així, it doesn’t matter where you fight. It’s the competition, and that’s how I take it.

 

Q

Edwin, what will it mean to you to fight so close to Worcester?

 

I. Rodríguez

It means a lot because I haven’t fought at home for about four years now. Així, I’m excited to come back and fight close to home with family and friends supporting me. It’s something that helps me and pushes me to take it to the next level.

 

Q

Edwin, first question; how do you feel at light-heavyweight? Are you more comfortable now than you were at super middleweight? Do you feel stronger, and is your stamina a little better?

 

I. Rodríguez

I feel great now. I feel like 175 is the weight that I belong at. I feel like I’m strong and I’m fast and I feel like I’m the best light heavyweight. I just need the opportunity to prove it, and this is one of them and I’m excited.

 

Q

You’re with Al Haymon. Adonis Stevenson is with Al Haymon. Is that what boxing and fans can assume, that this is all building towards a fight with Adonis Stevenson for the title?

 

I. Rodríguez

Ara, I’m focused on Baker. He’s an undefeated hungry fighter, but that’s the goal. I want to fight the best guy so I can prove that I’m the best. Adonis Stevenson is a good fighter. He has proved he’s the world champion and that’s who I want in the future. Així, I’m just setting myself up and I’m working hard to look impressive against Baker and to get my opportunity to show the world that I’m on the best.

 

Q

Craig, just what is it about Edwin that impresses you and what will you have to do to beat him?

 

C. Forner

Bé, I’m really impressed with the improvements that he’s made. I see him pushing forward, pushing issues and always in your face. That’s good. M'agrada això. Al final de la dia, I just have to show up and fight. That’s the way I take the game. I have to bring my A game at all times and that’s what I do.

 

Q

I was looking at the records of a lot of your opponents. You fought a lot of guys with pretty poor records. Why is that and why did you make the step up a couple of fights ago?

 

C. Forner

I just felt like it was time, 1.

 

Q

Edwin, what impresses you about Craig Baker?

 

I. Rodríguez

He’s a hungry fighter and it doesn’t matter who he’s fought. He’s undefeated and you can’t take an undefeated fighter lightly, especially one that defeated a guy that had over 400 amateur fights and was a big prospect in the pros, like Savigne. You can’t take a guy like Craig Baker lightly.

 

Q

You’ve defeated undefeated fighters in the past. Així, how is your confidence level going in when you fight somebody who hasn’t lost?

 

I. Rodríguez

I believe a lot of my skills and I’m very confident, but I’m not stupid. I know that a fighter who’s undefeated comes in with a very strong mentality and I’m ready. I’ve been working hard for this fight knowing that this guy is undefeated and I have to take that away from him. But at the same time, we’ve got to respect everyone because we’re all competitors and it’s all about looking good and winning and he’s just in my way right now.

 

L. DiBella

Gràcies. The main event of the evening is a super middleweight world title fight and it features two guys that have been engrained into boxing since they were amateurs. James DeGale is an Olympic gold medalist. He’ll be facing Andre Dirrell. James is from England; Andre from the US. Andre was a bronze medalist in the Olympics. This is a match of two of the very best super middleweights in the world and figures to be a terrific fight.

 

James is promoted by Matchroom Boxing and Eddie Hearn is on the call. When you go to Q&La, if anyone has a question for Eddie, Eddie is available. We’re going to start with James DeGale. James, li agradaria dir unes poques paraules? James is 21-1, amb 14 KOs.

 

James DeGale

Sí, my time is here. My time is here, dissabte que ve. I’ve trained extremely hard and you’re in for a treat because you’re going to watch two very talented hungry fighters dissabte que ve fight it out for a world title. I honestly think it’s going to be a hell of a fight, one I’m confident of winning. Així, fasten your seatbelts, 1. It should be good.

 

L. DiBella

Gràcies, James. Andre Dirrell, please say a few words.

 

Andre Dirrell

I agree with James. This is going to be a very good fight. I’ve trained my butt off as well. Everything went very smoothly this camp. He’s a hungry fighter. I’m a hungry fighter. We are both in desperate need or desperate want of a world title and I myself feel very confident and I’m excited about this match, 1. He feels like he’s an undefeated fighter. I feel like I’m an undefeated fighter, but we both have a lot to prove, 1. Així, we’re going to come to the full effect and I believe it’s going to be a great show.

 

L. DiBella

Gràcies, Un altre. We’re going to open it up to questions now. One more time, it’s PBC on NBC broadcast. It will be on May 23rd, Dissabte afternoon of Memorial Day Weekend, 4:30 p.m. I/1:30 p.m. PT. Tickets are available at Ticketmaster, 1-800-745-3000 and we’re going to open it up for questions now.

 

Q

This is for James. This is your first fight in the United States and also, this is the first time a lot of people are going to get to see you because you’re going to be on national television. What are you expecting in terms of the energy and what it’s going to be like performing in a completely new audience?

 

J. DeGale

Sí. I’m looking forward to it. I’m used to it as well because obviously back in England I’m promoted by Matchroom, a well-known commercial company. Així, I box on big shows in front of 10,000-20,000 gent. It should be good. They have a lot of Irish and English over there. Així, I should have some good support and I’m looking forward to it.

 

Q

Let me follow-up with another question. There was a time that you considered retiring from the sport and becoming a personal trainer. Can you talk about that a little bit and looking back, are you glad you made the right decision to continue to do boxing?

 

J. DeGale

Sí. It’s pretty simple. I was going through a hard time with my promoter at the time and I was a bit depressed because I wasn’t getting my chances and I wasn’t getting the right fights and I boxed on small shows. I basically was a bit depressed and I couldn’t motivate myself properly. Així, si, that was the way it was and then I made the change to Matchroom and things have just gone from pretty bad to really great.

 

Òbviament, my last two performances speak for themself. I boxed Brandon Gonzales, an undefeated American, a confident American. He come over to America and I boxed him front of 80,000 people and knocked him out in four rounds.

 

Then four months later, I boxed Periban. If you don’t know Marco Antonio Periban, he boxed Sakio Bika for the world title and lost on a split decision and I knocked him out in three rounds. Així, I’m confident. I’m feeling good, and I’m motivated very well at the minute.

 

Q

Un altre, when you brother lost, he lost a close decision .What was your conversation with Anthony like because you lost a close fight you thought you’d won. Així, how have you been able to converse with him about getting through that loss?

 

La. Dirrell

Bé, I didn’t have to say much because he was confident after the fight, but I pretty much had him realize that you’ve had a bad night after he had a terrific camp, but I believe that’s where he left it. He left it in that. When it came to fight time, he had a few setbacks leading up to the fight and unfortunately, he lost, but we saw a lot of things that he needs to correct. I told him to watch the fight over and over again because that’s what I used to do in my fight, any fight that I feel bad about. Així, I just told him keep his confidence up, man and stay on that run, 1. Don’t lay off at all. That’s all we can do, 1. I’ve learned a lot from past experience and one thing’s for certain; you can’t take anything from the past and bring it to the future. Only confidence.

 

Així, I’m feeling good, 1. He’s excited for me and I’m going to keep that name alive and keep the Dirrell name going.

 

Q

Everybody talks about the super middleweights, they talk about Andre Ward. But it seems like some people forget how good of a boxer that you are because you had to take this time off. With this being on NBC and getting in front of a large audience, are you looking at this as an opportunity to put your name back in that conversation for people who may have forgotten how good Andre Dirrell is?

 

La. Dirrell

People know and in the end, it’s my job to keep my name lean. I haven’t had the opportunity to do that as well. I had a major setback as well, but with that I stayed in the game, stayed sharp. I was sharp in my last couple of performances. I’m looking forward to the future and this is the breakout fight like I said. James is one hell of a fighter. He has a lot of heart, a lot of spunk, a lot of energy, 1, and he wants to win.

 

If you want to put me in front of a fighter for a world championship fight, then James DeGale is bar none one of the best to do it in front of. Així, I’m excited about this fight. I think this is probably one of the biggest fights from Premier Boxing Champion that they’ve had and I’m excited to be on that big stage. Així, I want a breakout performance and I did everything in camp to make sure I can do so.

 

Q

How does it feel to be the first Brit on the verge of making some boxing history?

 

J. DeGale

Se sent molt bé, but I need to stay focused and keep my eye out on the prize. That’s what I have to do. Però, saps que? A lot of people say I’m obsessed about making history, about becoming the first Olympic gold medalist from Great Britain to win a genuine world title. Però vostè sap el que? Jo sóc. I am because that’s what drives me and that’s what makes me train hard every day. Així, si, I’m looking forward to it.

 

Q

Bé, and you touched on a little bit there. I mean not so long ago you were boxing in front of a couple of hundred people at the shopping center in Blue Water and now you’re making noise on TV in America. How does that feel, the difference?

 

J. DeGale

Bé, it’s fantastic. Sure a lot of credit has to go to Eddie Hearn. I’m a buzz fire. I like the big audience. I like the big lights. I’m just feeling real relaxed, chilled and ready to perform dissabte que ve. I’m buzzing. I really can’t wait; just being in America and knowing that I’m going to make my debut dissabte que ve in front of millions of Americans and back in the UK as well. It’s going to be fantastic.

 

Q

Un altre, this fight seems to be your highest profile fight since five years ago when you had the Abraham fight, when he got DQ’ed. You were leading at that time. Can you tell us at this point, where are you physically and mentally compared to where you were when you were obviously at the top of the division five years ago?

 

La. Dirrell

Bé, I look at it all from a mental aspect. As of now, 1, I’m grown tremendously in my mind. I’ve realized how important boxing is to me and what it takes to become world champion, the work you have to put in and I just follow those guidelines every day. I’m a very motivated fighter, very self-motivated. A lot of fighters run with music, have to listen to music.

 

If I can hear my punches while I’m hitting the bag, I’m motivated. Així, nothing motivates me more than hard work and that’s all I look for. The fight is won in the gym, not on fight night. It’s what you do in the gym, not how hard you put up a fight.

 

I’ve done all of that and more. I feel very relaxed. I’m very energetic and I’m feeling the vibe already and I really can’t wait to make Dissabte myself. I feel I have a lot to prove and I have a different Andre Dirrell to show, one that’s just as sharp, just as fast, just as brave, but just has a bigger mental capacity. I’m excited about next week.

 

Q

What do you think your advantages are over James DeGale in this fight?

 

La. Dirrell

We’re pretty much evenly matched and I actually like that scenario because I know I’m faster. I know I’m smarter and I know I’m a better boxer. It’s just as simple as that. Però, none of that can come into play without hard work, and I know he’s worked his ass off, 1. He has to come over to America just like I went over there to England to try to fight for a world championship.

 

I know what kind of guy I’m going to face come the 23rd. I’ve worked my butt off like I said, , and with those advantages, I’ve put the hard work in so I can display that. I just feel like I’ll be the better man that night.

 

Q

James, tell us why you think you’re confident that you’re going to be able to win this fight?

 

J. DeGale

Momentum is a big thing. Look at my last two performances against good, quality opponents and look his last three. Listen, I come from good pedigree and so does Andre. We’re good, quality, young fighters. But I just think overall, I’m better. I think he struggles. He doesn’t like it when it gets hard in there. He’s a competent fighter, but he likes it when he’s dictating the pace and he’s on the front foot.

 

Well listen, I’m not going to let him rest. He thinks this is going to be a boxing match. Bé, this ain’t. I’m telling him now. This ain’t going to be a boxing match. I’m going in there and I’m taking the title. I’m taking it. I’m ripping it away from him.

 

Q

Do you think you’re a really improved fighter? I know that the loss that you had to Groves was very controversial, but how much do you think you’ve improved since that fight with Groves?

 

J. DeGale

It’s like night and day. Listen, and another thing, I was in this for two years as well. I had two operations on my groin. Així, I couldn’t throw my shots with any power. I couldn’t run the ring properly. Even in the fight at Wembley in front of 80,000 Jo no estava 100% dret. Even against Periban I wasn’t 100% dret. Now I’m 100% dret, fully healthy, fully focused and mentally right. Així, you’re going to see me step up again dissabte que ve.

 

Q

James, you mentioned about being a buzz fighter and this is the biggest stage, the biggest pressure you’ve ever been under. Així, does this mean we’re going to see your best ever performance?

 

J. DeGale

I honestly do. The way I’ve been in the gym training, combat, running, I honestly think you’re going to see the performance of my career so far. My last couple of fights after my injuries have been sorted and I just got better and better and I think this one is going to top it and winning my world title as well and making history.

 

Q

Però, do you deal with the pressure and does that inspire you more?

JamesI thrive on it. Em coneixes. I thrive in it. I’m just looking forward to it. As I say, it’s my debut as a professional in America. Així, I’m buzzing right now. You don’t understand. I’m just really looking forward to it.

 

Q

Un altre. You’ve obviously fought Carl Froch and you’ve watched video of James I imagine. How do they compare as fighters and who do you rate as a better fighter?

 

La. Dirrell

As far as skill, I can give it to James DeGale, but as far as toughness, mental toughness, physical toughness, that’s Carl Froch. We all know how mentally strong he is. Així, I have to give the edge to Carl Froch in that aspect, but as I said before, I know DeGale is coming to fight and no one gets in that ring and fights me as they want to fight. You know what I’m saying? Just like he thinks it’s going to be an easy fight. I feel like I have a lot more to prove as well.

 

Així, I’m looking to bring the fight as well and I’m working hard in the gym. I made it tough on myself. The more pressure you actually put on me, the more dangerous I become.

 

I’m really excited as well, 1. I have a lot to prove. He has a lot to prove. This is going to be the best fight yet on Premier Boxing Champions.

 

Q

Basically for Andre, there was a chance obviously this fight could end up going to Britain. You’ve been to Britain before and you were very unlucky against Carl Froch. Was that something you were against, to face another title fight in Britain?

 

La. Dirrell

I’m not going to say that because I enjoyed my time over there. I believe I won the fight like I said and it just didn’t go my way unfortunately. I don’t like to judge my future fights based on past. I look forward to fighting in Britain again, in England again, the UK again whenever that day may come. I had a lot of fans over there; I have a lot of fans over there and I enjoy my time over there. I’ve been going over there since the amateurs. I enjoy it very much and I’m a world-class fighter. Així, I want to be displayed on a world-class level.

 

I’m definitely looking forward to it. If it was over there, if it had to be over there, que així sigui. I would have came over there to fight James. We are world competitors, world-class. We fight for world titles. Why should it be in America all the time? This is a world-class sport and we should treat it like one.

 

Q

Arthur Abraham kind of robbed you of your great win when he hit you on the floor. That was looking like such a great performance that night. In the sort of layup after that, how close did you come to actually having to retire? Was there ever a time you thought you might not box again?

 

La. Dirrell

I was going through some stuff with my family. I actually wanted to. I knew in my heart that I’d get my time again. I knew my time would come. I knew I had a chance of getting out of my contract. Així, I kept training. Per descomptat, there were times that I would hit slumps and feel like I’m doing it for nothing, but it was quite a stressful time for me. I think I always knew that I would be able to get back in that ring. Així, I stayed busy and it didn’t really totally veer me away from the sport, but I do know the feeling.

 

I did feel like any moment could come up to where that it could be over just like that and I had to deal with it and I could easily retire. If it happened again, I just might. I knew that my time was coming again. There’s always hope there. I just kept pushing forward and here I am now.

 

Q

One for you, James, quickly. You’re in Florida now. Can you tell us where you are and how’s it going?

 

J. DeGale

Sí, no, I’m in Miami. I’ve been training here for the past week. Així, we climatized and we adjusted and we’re ready to go.

 

L. DiBella

Just a couple of final words. Gràcies, Edwin, Craig, Andre and James. This is a great undercard that features a lot of New England talent and I want to acknowledge Murphys Boxing, our friend Ken Casey who’s with the legendary Irish band, the Dropkick Murphys, and is helping us with local promotion.

LAS VEGAS (Maig 15, 2015) – A highly anticipated showdown between former world champions Adrien “El Problema” Broner (30-1, 22 KOs) i “Temps De La Funció” Shawn Porter (25-1-1, 16 KOs) headlines the Premier Boxing Champions on NBC primetime event Dissabte, Juny 20 live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

 

També a la targeta, l'invicte Errol Spence Jr. (16-0, 13 KOs) posa el seu rècord en la línia contra el veterà contundent Roberto “La Amenaça” García (37-3, 23 KOs) en el major repte de la seva jove carrera. The PBC on NBC action begins at 8:30 p.m. I/5:30 p.m. PT

 

“It’s time for AB on NBC and I can’t wait for the opportunity,” Said Broner. “This is a great fight that the fans wanted and I wanted. I’m going to come prepared and I’m going to put on a show. I’ve never lost at MGM Grand and I don’t plan on starting now. Porter is a strong guy but he’s never been in the ring with someone like me.”

 

“I feel like this fight is what the PBC is all about – bringing big fights to network TV and this is one of the biggest so far,” va dir Porter. “I am excited to be the headliner against Adrien Broner. I’m always ready for a fight and facing Adrien is definitely going to be a challenge, but I’ve watched his career, even in the amateurs and I know he can be beat. I’m also looking forward to fighting at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. We moved to Las Vegas for opportunities like this and I would love to make MGM Grand my home.”

 

“I’m excited to have the chance to fight Roberto Garcia,” va dir Spence Jr. “He is a great fighter and I’m happy to have an opportunity to fight on this huge card. It is definitely the biggest opportunity of my career so far and I won’t disappoint.”

 

“I can’t wait to get back in the ring and showcase my skills on the biggest stage,” va dir García. “Spence Jr. is a strong up and coming fighter but I have experience on my side and I’m going to show it on June 20th.”

 

Les entrades per a l'esdeveniment en viu, el qual és promogut per Mayweather Promotions en associació amb Promocions TGB, tenen un preu de $400, $300, $100 i $50, not including applicable service charges and taxes go on sale Dilluns, Maig 18.

“We are looking forward to presenting another exciting primetime PBC show on NBC,” said Jon Miller, President of Programming for NBC and NBCSN. “With Adrien Broner returning to the big stage against Shawn Porter plus Errol Spence facing Roberto Garcia, we are expecting some pre-Fourth of July fireworks.”

 

One of boxing’s biggest stars, Broner, el jugador de 25 anys d'edat, fenomen que s'ha acumulat títols mundials en 130, 135 i 147 lliura, is looking to add another win to his impressive resume. The Cincinnati-born star scored a dominant victory over John Molina Jr. a Març 7 at MGM Grand and will look to return to the same big stage and take down his fellow Ohio-native Porter. Broner ha prevalgut sobre els gustos de Paulie Malignaggi, Daniel Ponce de León i Antonio Demarco en el camí de convertir-se en un campió en tres divisions.

 

Una meravella atlètica, els 27 anys d'edat, Desgast is eager to keep his momentum going after scoring a fifth-round knockout over Erick Bone on the inaugural Març 13 PBC on Spike fight. The Akron-native dominated Devon Alexander in December 2013 to win his previously held world title. Va seguir per dominar l'ex campió de dues divisions Paulie Malignaggi amb una aturada de quarta ronda a l'abril 2014.

 

La 2012 U.S. Olympian qui va tenir una carrera amateur molt decorat, el jugador de 25 anys d'edat,Spence Jr. will look to remain undefeated when he steps into the ring for the biggest challenge of his career. El Desoto, Texas born fighter was dominant in his PBC debut onAbril 11 després de vèncer Samuel Vargas per nocaut en el cinquè assalt.

 

Un veterà de l'esport durant gairebé 15 any, the 35-year-old García has racked up nine straight victories and will look to extend that streak to 10 when he faces Spence Jr. aJuny 20. El Weslaco, Texas native has most recently put together wins over Victor Manuel Cayo, Breidis Prescott and a unanimous decision victory over James Stevenson on the April 24 Targeta de PBC.

[En pujar de pes] “Em sento com si hagués de pujar. Està afectant el rendiment de la meva, però sento que vaig fer un gran treball.”

 

“Jo vaig fer la meva part. No estic trucant és un robatori, però va ser una bona baralla,” dir Peterson. “No espero un viatge fàcil per a mi per arribar a on vaig. Em sento molt bé. Això és probablement el menys contacte que he tingut en una baralla.”

 

En el primer esdeveniment principal, Quillin va anotar una enorme caiguda en la primera volta i el va seguir posant Llegeix en el llenç a la tercera ronda. Llegeix va fer ajustos com la lluita va seguir i va començar a boxejar efectivament Quillin, fins i tot posant-lo en la setena ronda.

“Va ser una baralla dura. Em va deixar d'hora perquè estava sent mandrosa. Tinc el meu impuls final de la baralla i jo en caixa consistentment. Jo entenc per què amb dues caigudes gent sentia que va guanyar la decisió. Jo podria haver fet millor aquesta nit. Si la meva propera baralla és Peter Quillin.”

Heus aquí el que els combatents havien de dir en la conferència de premsa de dijous:

 

DANNY GARCIA

 

“He estat treballant en la lluita contra la dura, sinó també intel·ligent. Vaig a anar-hi i dictar el ritme i jo sempre estic buscant el nocaut. Si jo no ho puc noquejar continuació, vaig a estar llest per anar 12 rondes.

 

“Sempre està fent difícil de pes, però jo estic en el pes ara. Ara mateix estic creixent en el meu primer i el meu cos està creixent i va a ser en el curt termini perquè em vagi pujar de pes.

 

“Estic mirant això com una gran lluita. Així que vaig a entrar-hi mental i físicament a punt. Ell ve a barallar i ja lluitaré. Dissabte serà sobre qui pot fer els ajustos correctes.

 

“Amo Brooklyn. Aquesta és la meva quarta baralla aquí i he sentit que les entrades per a aquesta lluita estan venent més ràpid que qualsevol altra baralla que han celebren aquí. Així que he d'estar fent alguna cosa bé a Brooklyn. L'ambient és genial al Barclays Center.

 

“Sempre he sentit que sóc un dels millors boxejadors lliura per lliura al món. He guanyat un munt de grans baralles amb un munt de grans lluitadors, i el meu objectiu és simplement seguir guanyant una baralla a la vegada.”

 

Lamont Peterson

“La xerrada de Danny no fa cap diferència per a mi. Crec que estic encara més segur que ell i vaig a aconseguir la victòria Dissabte nit i que caldrà.

 

“Hi ha molt en joc. Això definitivament em pot empènyer al següent nivell en aquest joc de boxa. He estat a la part superior per un temps però hi ha una diferència entre estar al cim i ser un lluitador d'elit. Crec que això em va a consolidar com un lluitador d'elit.

 

“Vaig mirar a algunes de les baralles de Danny, però res realment es va destacar per a mi. Sé que Danny és un contragolpeador, això és el que fa. Hem vingut cap amunt amb un pla de joc per aturar aquest.

 

“Sóc una persona diferent als altres nois Danny ha lluitat. Sóc una persona diferent, amb un estil diferent. Confio en mi mateix per fer ajustos en el ring.

 

“Aquesta lluita va ser diferent a qualsevol de les nostres baralles amb Matthysse. Està 02:00 baralles i estils fan les baralles. Hi haurà diferents resultats. Havia de preparar-se per Danny García i Danny García va haver de preparar per a mi.

 

“No hi ha combats pressió sobre aquesta gran targeta, però jo sé el que porta. Això porta més exposició i vull utilitzar que l'exposició de la manera correcta. Sé que estic admirava com un model a seguir i jo només vull fer servir aquesta exposició.

 

“Això posarà un gran centre d'atenció en la boxa i estic feliç de ser part d'ella.

 

“Estic llest per lluitar, M'he preparat bé i estic a punt per muntar un espectacle.”

 

ANDY LEE

 

“Estic amb ganes de lluitar i llest per funcionar. Em sento molt perillós en aquest moment.

 

“El meu generalat anell és una cosa, però en general em sento com que tinc una bona idea del que vull fer en el ring. Peter té una idea massa, però és més un moment a un altre per a ell, que pot ser bo també, quan s'improvisa. Jo sóc més d'un tipus que et posaran en marxa i treballar amb un pla.

 

“Tornant i guanyar una baralla realment enforteix la seva determinació. Vostè sap en la seva ment que en qualsevol moment, vostè té l'oportunitat de guanyar. Mai planatge estar darrere però passa. Aquest cop tinc la intenció de conduir des del front.

 

“Peter és ofensiu, que deixa obertures. Podria ser cautelós per un temps perquè els dos sabem que podríem pagar el preu de ser ofensiu. Amb el temps anem a intercanviar i serà explosiu una forma de l'altra.

 

“Jo sóc un pegador esquerrà que pot boxejar i mai he estat en una baralla avorrida. Tinc un dau 'mai diguis’ actitud i estic no algú que només va a sortir a jugar al segur. M'arriscaré tot per guanyar.

 

“La meva confiança és molt alta. Sóc el campió del món i no hi ha major estació que en la boxa. Jo sóc el campió i vaig a haver de venir i prendre el meu títol.”

 

PETER Quillín

 

“Tothom sintonitzar Abril 11 perquè farem alguna cosa més que intentar prendre aquest cinturó, anem a prendre aquest cinturó perquè això és el que fem.

 

“Andy és el campió del món, però aquesta és la segona vegada que he estat en el retador a un campió del món. He estat aquí abans. Jo sé que ell és un campió recentment coronat així que no tinc res dolent a dir d'ell.

 

“La major fortalesa d'Andy és que va perdre dues vegades i va ser capaç de tornar i fer-se veure molt bo.

 

“Aquesta és una lluita calibre totalment diferent a qualsevol de nosaltres ha tingut. Jo no sóc cap d'aquests lluitadors que ell ha enfrontat. No puc anar-hi i tractar de lluitar com un Julio César Chávez Jr.

 

“Només estic preocupat per treballar dur, que he fet tots els dies previs a la baralla. Així que no tinc cap preocupació en absolut.

 

“Estic període motivat. El meu cor està construït sobre la motivació en totes les coses. Parlant amb els mitjans de comunicació, sent en l'NBC, lluitar pel cinturó i ser una persona positiva. Estic agraït que cada dia que puc posar a terme una història positiva sobre mi.”

Lou DiBella, El president de DiBella Entertainment

 

“Tenim una gran nit de boxa de principi a fi, vostè va a escoltar molt més d'aquests joves lluitadors.

 

“Si vols veure tot, arribar a Barclays Center a 5 p.m.

 

“Estem molt contents que això serà televisat en horari estel·lar per la cadena NBC. PBC en la NBC. Té un bonic anell a ella.

 

“El primer esdeveniment principal de la nit compta amb Andy Lee, campió de pes mitjà i l'orgull de lluita de Limerick. Ell és un guerrer, ell està en el punt de la seva carrera més confiat i ell va a haver de ser perquè està lluitant contra un campió invicte.

 

“Peter Quillin fa Brooklyn casa. És la seva tercera baralla al Barclays Center i té un rècord perfecte de 31-0. Ell va a intentar prendre el cinturó d'Andy, però no serà fàcil.

 

“La baralla que tancarà l'espectacle és un dels combats més esperats de tots els de la boxa. Lamont Peterson es destaca per ser un dels boxejadors més tècnic de so en el joc i té una destacada trajectòria a una còpia de seguretat.

 

“Danny García realment encarna el que significa ser un lluitador d'Filadèlfia. Ell és un tipus dur amb un rècord invicte. Ell va a mirar per mantenir aquest rècord perfecte contra Lamont Peterson.”

 

JON MILLER, President, Programació, NBC Sports & NBCSN

 

“En nom de NBC Sports estem encantats de ser part d'això i estar en el nostre propi pati del darrere. No podíem escollir un lloc millor que Barclays Center. La targeta d'armar és espectacular. Hi ha grans baralles, un cop més i estem entusiasmats amb el progrés que aquesta nova propietat ha pres per nosaltres.

 

“Crec que una de les coses més singulars de aquest dissabte la nit és que es va a fer història a la televisió perquè tres de les personalitats de la televisió esportiva més venerables i en circulació estaran treballant junts per primera vegada com Al Michaels serà el nostre amfitrió, Marv Albert estarà fent play-by-play i per primera vegada en la història que s'uniran a Bob Costes.

 

“Aquestes tres figures icòniques han treballat Jocs Olímpics i Super Bowls, però és la primera vegada que ells han treballat junts en un esdeveniment i que és un homenatge al que el tot ha reunit en el lliurament d'aquesta gran targeta.”

 

BRETT Yormark, CEO de Barclays Center

 

“Aquest dissabte marca un moment històric per a Barclays Center com organitzem la nostra 11ºesdeveniment de boxa professional i el nostre primer esdeveniment Premier Campions de Boxa.

 

“Quan es combina el talent en el ring, la producció de la sèrie i l'equip de radiodifusió icònica d'Al Michael, Bob Costes i Marv Albert, més la llegenda de la boxa Sugar Ray Leonard aquesta serà una de les millors nits de lluita que Nova York ha acollit en dècades.

 

“Significant la magnitud de l'esdeveniment, butlletes s'han venut més ràpid que en qualsevol altre espectacle de boxa Barclays Center ha acollit.

 

“En Barclays Center, no només hem servit de plataforma de llançament per a molts boxejadors locals’ carreres, però han gaudit en el paper de convertir-se en la llar de Campions.”

Heus aquí el que els combatents havien de dir en Dimarts de exercitar-:

 

DANNY GARCIA

 

“Només vull donar-li als fans una gran baralla. Vull que vegin la millor Danny García. Al final de la dia, aquesta és la baralla que els fans volen veure. El meu objectiu principal és posar en un gran espectacle per als aficionats.

 

“M'he enfrontat a una gran quantitat de boxejadors destres en la meva carrera i encara estic invicte. Això hauria dir-los als aficionats de tot el món que té més habilitat. Tal Com Abril 11 quan se sent aquests dos bombes a la cara que va a oblidar-se de la seva habilitat.

 

“Només vull donar als aficionats una gran baralla. No estic molt preocupat per la ‘0’ en el meu disc. Lluito dur per protegir-lo, però el meu objectiu principal és anar-hi i fer la feina una baralla alhora.

 

“Tot el que he fet en la meva carrera és per una raó. Ara estic aquí a la NBC lluitant en aquest gran camp de joc. Això és molt bo per a la boxa i una alenada d'aire fresc per a l'esport.

 

“Només vull estar segur i humil alhora. Vull que els aficionats m'encanta perquè estic sent jo mateix. És molt important per a un jove campió.

 

“Vaig a tractar de dictar el ritme, Es intel·ligent, moure el cap, utilitzar els meus peus i terrestres bons cops. No puc tractar de perseguir.

 

“M'encantava altres grans boxejadors porto-riquenys com Félix Trinitat, Miguel Cotto i Héctor Camacho. Em sento com que estic definitivament la meva forma de treball fins a les files amb ells i seguint els seus passos.

 

“He de ser intel·ligent en el ring. He d'anar-hi i ser Danny García. Sóc aquí perquè sóc un lluitador intel·ligent. Tothom sap que. Tinc el poder. Vaig a trobar el meu obertura i treure profit dels seus errors.”

 

 

Lamont Peterson

 

“Això és només una altra baralla per a mi. No estic preocupat per ser l'esdeveniment principal. M'encanta lluitar. Mentre jo estic lluitant estic feliç.

 

“Molta gent veu a lluitar i veure a tirar cops, però això és només la part fàcil. El sacrifici al gimnàs i posar el meu cos a través del càstig és la part aspra.

 

“No estic tractant de demostrar a ningú mal, però aquesta lluita és important per a mi i vull guanyar-lo. Jo vull ser l'home important i això significa vèncer l'home important.

 

“La gent parla de copejar Matthysse i Matthysse a pegar, però qualsevol que conegui sobre la boxa sap que no vol dir res. Tal Com Dissabte nit vaig a demostrar a tots que sóc un lluitador millor que Danny García.

 

“Ángel García té la seva opinió sobre aquesta lluita, i el respecte. Pot anar en l'expedient i dir el que vulgui, però si ell diu Danny García és més fort que jo, Et diré que això és una mentida.

 

“No estem preocupats pel poder de Danny. Moltes persones m'han preguntat sobre això, però no estic preocupat. Danny García va tenir una decisió dividida amb Kendall Holt, qui va noquejar. Ningú sembla esmentar que.

 

“Em sento còmode amb la manera que aquesta lluita continua. M'agradaria saber que garanteix la victòria.

 

“No crec que m'estan prenent a la lleugera. Al final de la dia, García sap que aquesta és una baralla i ell sap que ell no ha lluitat contra algú com jo. Estic esperant una gran victòria Dissabte nit.

 

“Mai se sap el que vas a veure amb mi. El que sento que he de fer per guanyar, això és el que faré. Estic preparat 100 per cent. Estic en forma per 30 rondes i vaig a estar llest per a qualsevol cosa. ”

 

ANDY LEE

 

“Hem fet avenços increïbles en l'últim any en les meves habilitats i tot ha realment acaba de fer clic per a mi i per al meu equip i ara estem veient els resultats en l'anell.

 

“Estic molt orgullós de ser un irlandès de Limerick defensa del seu campionat mundial a Nova York, no hi ha res millor que això.

 

“Hi ha hagut un gran pes aixecat de les meves espatlles des que va guanyar el títol mundial. És el que sempre vaig voler fer i he estat promocionat com un campió durant anys i si no ho tinc m'hagués decebut. Ara el mico és de la meva esquena i jo només pot boxejar i mostrar a la gent el que sóc.

 

“Hem fet millores físiques i tàctiques al gimnàs des de l'última baralla i espero que va a aparèixer en el ring en dissabte.

 

“Crec que això podria ser una baralla tècnica o podria ser una mica d'una lluita contra incendis. Va a ser una mica de totes dues coses a vegades. Hi haurà moments en què estem mirant l'un a l'altre, calcular l'un a l'altre, però una vegada que l'intercanvi podria ser explosiu.

 

“Quillin és segur de si mateix, però ha de ser, Tinc la mateixa mentalitat. Has de ser per competir en aquest esport.

 

“Lluitant a casa, com és Quillin en dissabte, porta un tipus diferent de la pressió a la taula, que és la pressió de les expectatives i la gent que vostè coneix que vénen a les baralles. Aquesta és també la pressió i sé tot sobre això.

 

“No he necessitat per construir la meva confiança per a aquesta baralla. No és temps per pensar. És hora de fer el que he estat fent tots els dies al gimnàs.”

 

PETER Quillín

 

“Jo mai va estar en desavantatge en una baralla i vaig tornar i vaig guanyar com Lee. Jo només he guanyat tot el temps a la dreta de la porta. Els altres nois no són "Kid Xocolata’ així que crec que per això es va fer aquesta lluita.

 

“És una gran baralla per a ell i una gran baralla per a mi. És un lluitador intel·ligent quan ell està en problemes, així que he d'estar atent al fet que. El més important és que només he de ser fidel a mi mateix.

 

“Molta gent tenia Llegeix com el més feble en la seva última baralla, però ell va sortir i va fer gran. Això és el que passa amb la boxa; un cop pot canviar la lluita.

 

“Em paguen per 12 rondes així que m'estic preparant per 12 rondes, però si puc treure'l d'allà d'hora ho faré.

 

“Tota la meva vida ha estat lluites i he hagut de superar cadascuna d'aquestes lluites. Això va a ser diferent a partir d'aquest.

 

“Ser pare és clar em va fer més inspirat i veient el passi oncle m'ha fet més motivat que mai per dur a terme tot el que vull.

 

“Quan em vaig donar per vençut el cinturó em vaig assabentar que puc ser un home gran i prendre decisions difícils com aquesta tot el temps. La gent pensa que perdre és fàcil, però guanyar tot el temps és un tipus diferent de pressió.”

 

ERROL SPENCE JR.

 

“Jo sóc el millor prospecte jove en el joc. Sóc al límit de la condició de candidat i crec que sóc una baralla de ser un contendent.

 

“Sóc una mica d'una barreja d'estil-savi. Sóc un boxejador, Puc colpejar i puc lluitar si he de.

 

“La lluita que vaig aprendre més de estava amb Emanuel Lartey, que estava invicte juntament amb mi i va ser la meva primera baralla real i la primera vegada que va la distància.

 

“Em veig lluitant tots els pilots de cap en la divisió de pes welter. Em veig amb Keith Thurman, Amir Khan i qualsevol pes welter superior.

 

“Em quedaré bé com sempre en dissabte nit, Serà fantàstic i vaig a sortir amb la victòria.”

 

MARCUS BROWNE

 

“Només sóc beneït per tenir aquesta oportunitat de lluitar a Barclays Center per vuitena vegada al davant dels meus aficionats locals.

 

“M'encanta actuar en a Brooklyn. Els aficionats aquí són fantàstiques i saben quan em fico en l'anell que veuran alguna cosa especial.

 

“Tinc un dur rival al davant de mi. Té experiència, lluitador molt desmanegat però hem entrenat molt dur i estic preparat per a qualsevol cosa que té.

 

“Dissabte va ser una gran nit per a l'equip Browne, Staten Island i tots els meus fans. No parpellejar causa és possible que t'ho perdis!”

 

LUIS COLLAZO

 

“He passat algun temps amb la família, reagrupament i assegurar-se que encara tinc la mateixa passió per aquest esport. Estic emocionat d'estar de tornada i jo vaig aprofitar l'oportunitat d'estar en aquesta targeta.

 

“Això és el que visc. La boxa és la meva vida.

 

“Després de la baralla Khan vaig prendre d'un mes de descans i després em vaig anar directament al gimnàs. Jo no podia sortir com ho vaig fer contra Khan. No hi ha excuses, però ja era hora de tornar a la taula de dibuix i mantenir la motivació durant tot l'any.

 

“Els fans poden esperar el mateix entusiasme que sempre porten. Estic més motivat ara i espero que després d'aquesta baralla que puc aconseguir una gran baralla i donar als fans el que volen.”

 

HEATHER HARDY

 

“Tinc la mateixa mentalitat d'entrar en cada baralla. Entrenament a barallar meu baralla i fer ajustaments quan arribar-hi.

 

“Em sento fort i em sento capaç de tot el que cal fer.

 

“Només he estat boxejant durant quatre anys, així que encara estic aprenent molt de la tècnica de boxa al campament a més de treballar tres o quatre dies a la setmana amb el meu entrenador de força i condicionament.

 

“Els fans poden esperar un bon espectacle i un gran guanyar fora de mi en dissabte.”

DANNY GARCIA

 

“L'entrenament va bé, I’ve done everything I have to do and I’m still focused. It’s a week and a half until the fight and I’m ready to go. If the fight were demà I’d be ready.

 

“It’s a big fight and it’s the fight that the fans wanted. We’re going to give the fans a great night of boxing on NBC and it’s time the show the world that Danny Garcia is the star of NBC.

 

“We have common opponents like Khan and Matthysse and we’ve had different results. They say styles make fights so those results don’t matter. Bé, my style is to kick his butt.

 

“I know that this second PBC on NBC show is going to be even bigger and I just feel blessed to be a part of it and I can’t wait to go out there and showcase my skills.

 

“I’m ready for whatever Peterson brings. If he tries to box then I’m going to go with that and if he wants to fight, I’ll be ready. I’m not going to go in and just try to knock his head off, I’m going to be Danny Garcia.

 

“I’d love to be fighting on the biggest stage in boxing against the Mayweather and Pacquiaos, but for now it’s just about taking it one fight at a time, this is history in the making.

 

“A lot of things have changed for me in the last few years, everybody knows me now. A lot of people look at you different now but it doesn’t make my head bigger, it just motivates me to work hard.

 

“Amo Brooklyn, it’s my fourth fight at Barclays Center and I’m looking to make it 4-0 a Abril 11.

 

“This is a blessing for the sport of boxing. Millions of fans haven’t had the opportunity to watch boxing on primetime in years and this is great for the sport.”

 

ÀNGEL GARCÍA

 

“I’ll give Peterson credit for putting the gloves on. He thinks it’s going to be an easy night for him. He sees himself already on top of the mountain. It’s not going to happen like that, we’re going to ruin his party.

 

“I want Peterson to act confident and come forward. They’re talking like Danny isn’t special but he lost to the guys we beat.

 

“It doesn’t matter what anyone says as long as Danny is in here putting in 100 percent every day. It’s all about Abril 11.

 

“We’re not going to train for eight weeks to go in there and worry about what Peterson is going to do, we’re going to do what we have to do. We train to go in there and win on Abril 11.”
