Sta uscendo da un KO di Umberto Savigne molto apprezzato nel suo ultimo combattimento e sta cercando di sconvolgere il carrello delle mele e far deragliare la carriera di Edwin Rodriguez che è alla ricerca di un'altra possibilità per un titolo mondiale; questa volta alle 175 libbre.

 

Craig è promosso da Sampson Boxing. brama, se vuoi dire qualche parola.

 

Craig Baker

Bene, Sono solo grato di avere l'opportunità di combattere di nuovo su un campo così grande. È chiaramente ciò che sogno. È una di quelle cose che ho sempre aspettato fin da quando ero un ragazzino.

 

L. DiBella

Grazie. Edwin Rodriguez, l'orgoglio di Worchester, Massachusetts e sta combattendo nel suo stato d'origine. Questa è la sua seconda battaglia ai pesi massimi leggeri. La sua unica sconfitta è per Andre Ward, uno dei combattenti libbra per libbra nel mondo ed Edwin crede che nei pesi massimi leggeri sia più forte, meglio e che può vincere il titolo. Così, Edwin, Vorresti dire qualche parola?

 

Edwin Rodriguez

Sì. Prima di tutto, Vorrei ringraziarti, Lou, per avermi riportato sulla NBC e avermi dato una grande opportunità e anche ad Al Haymon e alla troupe della NBC. Sono pronto a mostrare al mondo che sono uno dei migliori o dei migliori 175 pound fighter nel mondo. Devo solo provarlo e questo è uno dei passaggi per farlo, combattere un combattente imbattuto, Craig Baker, che ha fame e io sono eccitato perché so che ha fame; Ho fame di raggiungere quel livello d'élite. Sta andando essere una grande lotta per i tifosi.

 

Q

Sì, Ho una domanda per ciascuno di voi se non vi dispiace. brama, come ti senti a combattere Edwin così vicino alla sua città natale?

 

C. Panettiere

Alla fine della giornata questo non mi interessa davvero perché tutti vogliono praticamente batterti a morte. Così, non importa dove combatti. È la concorrenza, ed è così che la prendo.

 

Q

Edwin, cosa significherà per te combattere così vicino a Worcester?

 

E. Rodriguez

Significa molto perché non combatto in casa da circa quattro anni. Così, Sono entusiasta di tornare e combattere vicino a casa con la famiglia e gli amici che mi sostengono. È qualcosa che mi aiuta e mi spinge a portarlo al livello successivo.

 

Q

Edwin, prima domanda; come ti senti ai pesi massimi leggeri? Sei più a tuo agio ora di quanto non fossi nei pesi medi super? Ti senti più forte, ed è la tua resistenza un po 'meglio?

 

E. Rodriguez

Mi sento benissimo adesso. mi sento come 175 è il peso a cui appartengo. Mi sento come se fossi forte e veloce e mi sento come se fossi il miglior peso massimo leggero. Ho solo bisogno dell'opportunità per dimostrarlo, e questo è uno di loro e sono entusiasta.

 

Q

Sei con Al Haymon. Adonis Stevenson è con Al Haymon. È questo che possono presumere la boxe e i fan, che tutto questo sta costruendo verso una lotta con Adonis Stevenson per il titolo?

 

E. Rodriguez

Ora, Mi sono concentrato su Baker. È un combattente affamato imbattuto, ma questo è l'obiettivo. Voglio combattere il miglior ragazzo così posso dimostrare che sono il migliore. Adonis Stevenson è un buon combattente. Ha dimostrato di essere il campione del mondo ed è quello che voglio in futuro. Così, Mi sto solo preparando e sto lavorando duramente per sembrare impressionante contro Baker e per avere la mia opportunità di mostrare al mondo che sono il migliore.

 

Q

brama, cosa ti colpisce di Edwin e cosa dovrai fare per batterlo?

 

C. Panettiere

Bene, Sono davvero impressionato dai miglioramenti che ha apportato. Lo vedo spingersi in avanti, spingendo i problemi e sempre in faccia. Quello è buono. Mi piace che. Alla fine della giornata, Devo solo presentarmi e combattere. Questo è il modo in cui prendo il gioco. Devo portare sempre con me il mio gioco A ed è quello che faccio.

 

Q

Stavo guardando i record di molti dei tuoi avversari. Hai combattuto molti ragazzi con dischi piuttosto scadenti. Perché è questo e perché hai fatto il passo avanti un paio di lotte fa?

 

C. Panettiere

Mi sentivo come se fosse ora, uno.

 

Q

Edwin, cosa ti colpisce di Craig Baker?

 

E. Rodriguez

È un combattente affamato e non importa chi abbia combattuto. È imbattuto e non puoi prendere alla leggera un combattente imbattuto, soprattutto uno che ha sconfitto un ragazzo che aveva finito 400 combattimenti amatoriali ed era una grande prospettiva tra i professionisti, come Savigne. Non puoi prendere alla leggera un ragazzo come Craig Baker.

 

Q

Hai sconfitto combattenti imbattuti in passato. Così, come va il tuo livello di fiducia quando combatti contro qualcuno che non ha perso?

 

E. Rodriguez

Credo molto nelle mie capacità e sono molto fiducioso, ma non sono stupido. So che un combattente imbattuto arriva con una mentalità molto forte e sono pronto. Ho lavorato duramente per questa lotta sapendo che questo ragazzo è imbattuto e devo portarglielo via. Ma allo stesso tempo, dobbiamo rispettare tutti perché siamo tutti concorrenti e si tratta di avere un bell'aspetto e vincere e lui è solo sulla mia strada in questo momento.

 

L. DiBella

Grazie. L'evento principale della serata è una lotta per il titolo mondiale dei super medi e presenta due ragazzi che sono stati radicati nella boxe sin da quando erano dilettanti. James DeGale è una medaglia d'oro olimpica. Affronterà Andre Dirrell. James è inglese; Andre dagli Stati Uniti. Andre è stato una medaglia di bronzo alle Olimpiadi. Questa è una partita di due dei migliori super pesi medi del mondo e sembra essere una lotta formidabile.

 

James è promosso da Matchroom Boxing e Eddie Hearn è sulla chiamata. Quando vai a Q&La, se qualcuno ha una domanda per Eddie, Eddie è disponibile. Inizieremo con James DeGale. Giacomo, Vorresti dire qualche parola? James è 21-1, con 14 KO.

 

James DeGale

Sì, il mio tempo è qui. Il mio tempo è qui, Sabato prossimo. Mi sono allenato molto duramente e ti aspetta una sorpresa perché vedrai due combattenti affamati di grande talento Sabato prossimo combatti per un titolo mondiale. Onestamente penso che sarà una lotta infernale, uno sono fiducioso di vincere. Così, allacciare le cinture di sicurezza, uno. Dovrebbe essere buono.

 

L. DiBella

Grazie, Giacomo. Andre Dirrell, per favore, dì qualche parola.

 

Andre Dirrell

Sono d'accordo con James. Questa sarà un'ottima battaglia. Ho allenato anche il mio culo. Tutto è andato molto bene in questo campo. È un combattente affamato. Sono un combattente affamato. Abbiamo entrambi un disperato bisogno o un disperato bisogno di un titolo mondiale e io stesso mi sento molto fiducioso e sono entusiasta di questa partita, uno. Si sente come se fosse un combattente imbattuto. Mi sento come se fossi un combattente imbattuto, ma entrambi abbiamo molto da dimostrare, uno. Così, arriveremo al pieno effetto e credo che sarà un grande spettacolo.

 

L. DiBella

Grazie, Altro. Ora lo apriremo alle domande. Un'altra volta, è PBC sulla trasmissione NBC. Sarà a maggio 23rd, Sabato pomeriggio del weekend del Memorial Day, 4:30 p.m. E/1:30 p.m. PT. I biglietti sono disponibili su Ticketmaster, 1-800-745-3000 e ora lo apriremo alle domande.

 

Q

Questo è per James. Questa è la tua prima battaglia negli Stati Uniti e anche, questa è la prima volta che molte persone ti vedranno perché sarai sulla televisione nazionale. Cosa ti aspetti in termini di energia e come sarà esibirti in un pubblico completamente nuovo?

 

J. DeGale

Sì. Non vedo l'ora. Ci sono abituato anche perché ovviamente in Inghilterra sono promosso da Matchroom, una nota azienda commerciale. Così, Faccio box su grandi spettacoli di fronte 10,000-20,000 persone. Dovrebbe essere buono. Hanno un sacco di irlandese e inglese laggiù. Così, Dovrei avere un buon supporto e non vedo l'ora.

 

Q

Lasciatemi proseguire con un'altra domanda. C'è stato un tempo in cui pensavi di ritirarti dallo sport e diventare un personal trainer. Puoi parlarne un po 'e guardare indietro, sei contento di aver preso la decisione giusta per continuare a fare boxe?

 

J. DeGale

Sì. È piuttosto semplice. Stavo attraversando un periodo difficile con il mio promotore in quel momento ed ero un po 'depresso perché non avevo le mie possibilità e non stavo ottenendo i combattimenti giusti e ho inscatolato in piccoli spettacoli. Fondamentalmente ero un po 'depresso e non riuscivo a motivarmi adeguatamente. Così, sì, era così, poi ho cambiato Matchroom e le cose sono andate da piuttosto male a davvero grandiose.

 

Ovviamente, le mie ultime due esibizioni parlano da sole. Ho inscatolato Brandon Gonzales, un americano imbattuto, un americano fiducioso. È venuto in America e l'ho inscatolato davanti 80,000 persone e lo ha messo KO in quattro round.

 

Poi quattro mesi dopo, Ho inscatolato Periban. Se non conosci Marco Antonio Periban, ha inscatolato Sakio Bika per il titolo mondiale e ha perso per una decisione divisa e l'ho eliminato in tre round. Così, Sono confidente. Mi sento bene, e sono motivato molto bene in questo momento.

 

Q

Altro, quando tuo fratello ha perso, ha perso una decisione ravvicinata. Com'è stata la tua conversazione con Anthony perché hai perso un incontro serrato che pensavi di aver vinto. Così, come hai potuto conversare con lui su come superare quella perdita?

 

La. Dirrell

Bene, Non ho dovuto dire molto perché era fiducioso dopo la lotta, ma praticamente gli ho fatto capire che hai passato una brutta notte dopo che ha avuto un campo fantastico, ma credo che sia dove l'ha lasciato. L'ha lasciato lì. Quando si trattava di combattere il tempo, ha avuto alcune battute d'arresto che hanno portato alla lotta e purtroppo, ha perso, ma abbiamo visto molte cose che deve correggere. Gli ho detto di guardare la lotta più e più volte perché è quello che facevo nella mia lotta, ogni combattimento per cui mi sento male. Così, Gli ho appena detto di mantenere alta la sua fiducia, uomo e continua a correre, uno. Non licenziarti affatto. È tutto ciò che possiamo fare, uno. Ho imparato molto dall'esperienza passata e una cosa è certa; non puoi prendere nulla dal passato e portarlo nel futuro. Solo fiducia.

 

Così, Mi sento bene, uno. È entusiasta per me e manterrò quel nome vivo e manterrò il nome Dirrell.

 

Q

Tutti parlano dei super pesi medi, parlano di 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, uno, 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. Così, 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. Così, 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

E 'davvero bello, but I need to stay focused and keep my eye out on the prize. That’s what I have to do. Ma, sai cosa? 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. Ma sai cosa? Sono. I am because that’s what drives me and that’s what makes me train hard every day. Così, sì, Non vedo l'ora.

 

Q

Bene, 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

Bene, 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 Sabato prossimo. I’m buzzing. I really can’t wait; just being in America and knowing that I’m going to make my debut Sabato prossimo in front of millions of Americans and back in the UK as well. It’s going to be fantastic.

 

Q

Altro, 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

Bene, I look at it all from a mental aspect. Al momento, uno, 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. Così, 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 Sabato 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. Ma, none of that can come into play without hard work, and I know he’s worked his ass off, uno. 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

Giacomo, 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. Bene, 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. Così, 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 Non ero 100% destra. Even against Periban I wasn’t 100% destra. Now I’m 100% destra, fully healthy, fully focused and mentally right. Così, you’re going to see me step up again Sabato prossimo.

 

Q

Giacomo, you mentioned about being a buzz fighter and this is the biggest stage, the biggest pressure you’ve ever been under. Così, 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, sparring, in esecuzione, 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

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

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

 

Q

Altro. 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. Così, 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.

 

Così, 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, uno. 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. Così, 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, così sia. 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. Così, I kept training. Naturalmente, 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. Così, 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, Giacomo, quickly. You’re in Florida now. Can you tell us where you are and how’s it going?

 

J. DeGale

Sì, non, I’m in Miami. I’ve been training here for the past week. Così, we climatized and we adjusted and we’re ready to go.

 

L. DiBella

Just a couple of final words. Grazie, Edwin, brama, 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. We’re going to have a lot of announcements coming about some great fight week activities.

SUPERSTARS ADRIEN BRONER AND SHAWN PORTER MEET IN ACTION-PACKED SHOWDOWN AS PREMIER BOXING CHAMPIONS RETURNS TO NBC PRIMETIME SATURDAY, Giugno 20 Dall'arena MGM Grand Garden

Also featuring 2012 U.S. Olympian and rising star Errol Spence Jr.

Taking On Roberto Garcia

PBC on NBC Coverage Starts at 8:30 P.m. E/5:30 P.m. PT

LAS VEGAS (Maggio 15, 2015) – A highly anticipated showdown between former world champions Adrien “Il Problema” Broner (30-1, 22 KO) e “Orario Dello Spettacolo” Shawn Porter (25-1-1, 16 KO) headlines the Premier Boxing Champions on NBC primetime event Sabato, Giugno 20 live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

 

Anche sulla carta, l'imbattuto Errol Spence Jr. (16-0, 13 KO) mette il suo record sulla linea contro incisiva veterano Roberto “La minaccia” Garcia (37-3, 23 KO) nella più grande sfida della sua giovane carriera. The PBC on NBC action begins at 8:30 p.m. E/5:30 p.m. PT

 

It’s time for AB on NBC and I can’t wait for the opportunity,” Detto 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 aboutbringing big fights to network TV and this is one of the biggest so far,” disse 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,” ha detto 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,” ha detto Garcia. “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.”

Broner ha prevalso su artisti del calibro di Paulie Malignaggi, Daniel Ponce de Leon e Antonio Demarco sulla strada per diventare un campione di tre divisioni.

 

Una meraviglia atletico, il 27-year-old Indossare is eager to keep his momentum going after scoring a fifth-round knockout over Erick Bone on the inaugural Marzo 13 PBC on Spike fight. The Akron-native dominated Devon Alexander in December 2013 to win his previously held world title. Ha seguito che dalla sopraffazione ex campione due divisioni Paulie Malignaggi con un arresto quarto round nel mese di aprile 2014.

 

La 2012 U.S. Olympian che ha avuto una carriera amatoriale pluridecorato, il 25-year-oldSpence Jr. will look to remain undefeated when he steps into the ring for the biggest challenge of his career. Il Desoto, Texas born fighter was dominant in his PBC debut onAprile 11 come ha sconfitto Samuel Vargas per KO quinto turno.

 

Un veterano di questo sport per quasi 15 anni, the 35-year-old Garcia has racked up nine straight victories and will look to extend that streak to 10 when he faces Spence Jr. suGiugno 20. Il 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 Carta PBC.

I think the show is big but, for me, it’s just another fight with Paul. I’m excited about the challenge in front of me, matching my skills against somebody like Paul with his resume. Sono estremamente concentrato. All the work is done here (in gym).”

 

Ryan Kielczweski, Quincy, MA:

It’s really cool fighting close to home on such a big card with double world title fights. Someday, fiduciosamente, I’ll be there. I’m focusing on my fight and when that’s over I’ll watch Edwin (Rodriguez) combattimento.”

 

Javier Fortuna, Il rumeno, Repubblica Dominicana

I feel super good and super confident. I’ve been training here (Boston) but haven’t seen much of the city. I expect a lot of fans there for me. I’ve been doing a lot of Spanish interviews. I await their approval of my performance.

 

Jonathan Guzman, Santo Domingo, Repubblica Dominicana

I feel very, very good. Sono pronto a combattere, 19 per 19 (19 vittorie, 19 KO). I have a lot of family living in Lawrence (suburb) di Boston) and I’ve been staying here (S. Boston).”

 

Ken Casey, Presidente & CEO of Murphys Boxing

Boston is a sports-crazed city with a lot of good local fighters. It’s a shame a show like this hasn’t happened here in a long time. Sometimes it just takes good fighters and the right promoter to help them. It’s the perfect combination now.

BROOKLYN (Aprile 12, 2015) – Premier Boxing Champions su NBC returned with two exciting bouts Sabato night as Danny “Veloce” Garcia (30-0, 17 KO) sconfitto Lamont Peterson (33-3-1, 17 KO) by majority decision and “Irlandese” Andy Lee (34-2-1, 24 KO) e Pietro “Kid Chocolate” Quillin (31-0-1, 22 KO) fought to a split draw at Barclays Center.

 

The evening’s second main event saw the undefeated Garcia stalk the lightning quick Peterson around the ring while consistently attacking Peterson’s body. Peterson moved well in the first half of the fight, but did not begin engaging offensively until the later rounds.

 

The two exchanged blows throughout a raucous twelfth round that stirred the crowd of 12,300 at Barclays Center into a frenzy. The judges tallies ended at 115-113 for Garcia twice and one score of 114-114.

 

“Mi sento benissimo. I prepared for a war. He was moving a lot. I thought it was close, not going to lie,” ha detto Garcia. “It was definitely close the whole way through. I did enough to win and I’m happy with my performance.

 

[On going up in weight] “I feel like I have to go up. It’s affecting my performance, but I feel like I did a great job.

 

I did my part. I’m not calling it a robbery but it was a good fight,” Ha detto Peterson. “I don’t expect an easy journey for me to get where I’m going. Mi sento benissimo. That’s probably the least contact I’ve ever had in a fight.

 

In the first main event, Quillin scored a huge knockdown in the first round and followed it up by putting Lee on the canvas in round three. Lee made adjustments as the fight went on and began to box Quillin effectively, even putting him down in the seventh round.

 

Lee and Quillin landed almost the same percentage of punches with Lee connecting on 38 percent and Quillin on 39 cento. One judge scored the bout 113-112 for Lee with another scoring the bout 113-112 for Quillin and the final had a score of 113-113.

 

There’s a reason why judges are judges. They see it their way. I respect the decision,” Detto Quillin.

 

[On being knocked down] “There’s a first time for everything. I’m very thankful that I was able to get back up and keep fighting. I took a year off and I was able to go 12-rounds and I could have kept going.

 

“E 'stata una dura lotta. He dropped me early because I was being lazy. I got my momentum late in the fight and I boxed consistently. I understand why with two knockdowns people felt he won the decision. I could have done better stasera. If my next fight is Peter Quillin.

Here are what the fighters had to say at Thursday’s press conference:

 

DANNY GARCIA

 

I’ve been working on fighting hard, but also smart. I’m going to go in there and dictate the pace and I’m always looking for the knockout. If I can’t knock him out then I’ll be ready to go 12 round.

 

It’s always hard making weight, but I’m on weight now. Right now I’m growing into my prime and my body is getting bigger and it’ll be time soon for me to go up in weight.

 

I’m looking at this as a very big fight. So I’m going in there mentally and physically ready. He’s coming to fight and I’m coming to fight. Sabato is going to be about who can make the right adjustments.

 

“Amo Brooklyn. This is my fourth fight here and I’ve heard that the tickets for this fight are selling faster than any other fight they’ve held here. So I must be doing something right in Brooklyn. The atmosphere is great at Barclays Center.

 

I’ve always felt that I’m one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world. I’ve won a lot of big fights with a lot of great fighters, and my goal is just continue winning one fight at a time.

 

Lamont Peterson

Danny’s talk makes no difference to me. I think I’m even more confident than him and I’ll get the victory Sabato night and that will be that.

 

The stakes are high. This can definitely push me to the next level in this boxing game. I’ve been at the top for a while but there’s a difference between being at the top and being an elite fighter. I think this will solidify me as an elite fighter.

 

I looked at a few of Danny’s fights but nothing really stood out to me. I know Danny is a counterpuncher, that’s what he does. We’ve come up with a game plan to stop that.

 

I’m a different person than the other guys Danny has fought. I’m a different person with a different style. I trust myself to make adjustments in the ring.

 

This fight will be different than either of our fights with Matthysse. It’s two different fights and styles make fights. There will be different results. I had to prepare for Danny Garcia and Danny Garcia had to prepare for me.

 

There’s no pressure fighting on this big card, but I know what it brings. This brings more exposure and I want to use that exposure in the right way. I know I’m looked up to as a role model and I just want to use this exposure.

 

This will put a big spotlight on boxing and I’m happy to be a part of it.

 

“Sono pronto a combattere, I’ve prepared well and I’m ready to put on a show.

 

ANDY LEE

 

I’m eager to fight and ready to go. I’m feeling very dangerous right now.

 

My ring generalship is one thing, but overall I feel like I have a good idea of what I want to do in the ring. Peter has an idea too, but it’s more moment to moment for him, which can be good as well, when you improvise. I’m more of a guy who will set you up and work to a plan.

 

Coming back and winning a fight really strengthens your resolve. You know in your mind that at any time, you have a chance of winning. I never plan to be behind but it happens. This time I plan to lead from the front.

 

Peter is offensive, which leaves openings. He might be cautious for a while because both of us know that we might pay the price of being offensive. Eventually we’ll exchange and it will be explosive one way of the other.

 

I’m a southpaw puncher who can box and I’ve never been in a dull fight. I have a ‘never say dieattitude and I’m not someone who is just going to go out there and play it safe. I’ll risk it all to win.

 

My confidence is very high. I’m the champion of the world and there’s no higher station than that in boxing. I’m the champion and he’ll have to come and take my title.

 

PETER Quillin

 

Everyone tune in on Aprile 11 because we’re going to do more than just try to take that belt, we’re going to take that belt because that’s what we do.

 

Andy is the champion of the world but this is the second time I’ve been the challenger to a world champion. I’ve been here before. I know he’s a newly crowned champion so I have nothing bad to say about him.

 

Andy’s greatest strength is that he lost twice and was able to come back and make himself look very good.

 

This is a totally different caliber fight than either of us has had. I’m not any of those fighters that he’s faced. I can’t go in there and try to fight like a Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

 

I’m only concerned about working hard, which I’ve done every day leading up to this fight. So I have no concerns at all.

 

I’m motivated period. My heart is built on motivation in all things. Talking to media, being on NBC, fighting for the belt and being a positive person. I’m thankful that every day I can put out a positive story about myself.

LOU DiBella, Presidente di DiBella Entertainment

 

We have a great night of boxing from beginning to end, you will be hearing a lot more from these young fighters.

 

If you want to see everything, get there to Barclays Center at 5 p.m.

 

We’re very thrilled that this is going to be televised in primetime on NBC. PBC su NBC. It has a nice ring to it.

 

The first main event of the evening features Andy Lee, middleweight champion and the fighting pride of Limerick. He is a warrior, he’s at the most confident point of his career and he’s going to need to be because he’s fighting an undefeated champion.

 

Peter Quillin makes Brooklyn his home. It’s his third fight at Barclays Center and he has a perfect record of 31-0. He’s going to try to take Andy’s belt, ma non sarà facile.

 

The bout that will close the show is one of the most eagerly anticipated bouts in all of boxing. Lamont Peterson is noted for being one of the most technically sound boxers in the game and he has an outstanding record to a back it up.

 

Danny Garcia really embodies what it means to be a Philadelphia fighter. He’s a tough guy with an undefeated record. He’s going to look to keep that record perfect against Lamont Peterson.

 

JON MILLER, Presidente, Programmazione, NBC Sports & NBCSN

 

On behalf of NBC Sports we’re thrilled to be a part of this and to be in our own backyard. We couldn’t pick a better venue than Barclays Center. The card put together is spectacular. There are great fights once again and we’re excited about the progress that this new property has taken for us.

 

I think one of the most unique things about questo Sabato night is that it’s going to make history in television because three of the most venerable and outstanding sports television personalities will be working together for the first time as Al Michaels will be our host, Marv Albert will be doing play-by-play and for the first time ever they will be joined by Bob Costas.

 

These three iconic figures have worked Olympics and Super Bowls but it’s the first time they’ve ever worked together on one event and that is a tribute to what the entire has put together in delivering this great card.

 

BRETT Yormark, CEO di Barclays Center

 

Questo Sabato marks a historic moment for Barclays Center as we host our 11thprofessional boxing event and our first Premier Boxing Champions event.

 

When you combine the talent in the ring, the production of the show and the iconic broadcasting team of Al Michael, Bob Costas and Marv Albert plus boxing legend Sugar Ray Leonard this will be one of the best fight nights that New York has hosted in decades.

 

Signifying the magnitude of the event, tickets have sold faster than at any other boxing show Barclays Center has hosted.

 

At Barclays Center, we have not only served as a launch pad for many local boxerscareers, but have relished in the role of becoming the home for Champions.

Here are what the fighters had to say at Martedì allenamento:

 

DANNY GARCIA

 

I just want to give the fans a great fight. I want them to see the best Danny Garcia. Alla fine della giornata, this is the fight the fans want to see. My main focus is putting on a great show for the fans.

 

I’ve faced a lot of skillful boxers in my career and I’m still undefeated. That should tell the fans around the world who has more skill. Come Aprile 11 when he’s feeling these two bombs on his face he’s going to forget about his skill.

 

I just want to give fans a great fight. I’m not too worried about the ‘0’ on my record. I fight hard to protect it but my main focus is to go in there and get the job done one fight at a time.

 

Everything I’ve done in my career is for a reason. Now I’m here on NBC fighting on this big playing field. This is great for boxing and a breath of fresh air for the sport.

 

I just want to be confident and humble at the same time. I want the fans to love me because I’m being myself. It’s very important for a young champion.

 

I’m going to try to dictate the pace, be smart, move my head, use my feet and land good punches. I can’t try to chase him down.

 

I used to love other great Puerto Rican boxers like Felix Trinidad, Miguel Cotto and Hector Camacho. I feel like I’m definitely working my way up into the ranks with them and following their footsteps.

 

I have to be smart in the ring. I have to go in there and be Danny Garcia. I’m here because I’m a smart fighter. Everyone knows that. Ho il potere. I’m going to find my opening and capitalize on his mistakes.

 

 

Lamont Peterson

 

This is just another fight for me. I’m not worried about being the main event. Ho solo l'amore per combattere. As long as I’m fighting I’m happy.

 

A lot of people see us fight and see us take punches, but that’s just the easy part. The sacrifice in the gym and putting my body through punishment is the rough part.

 

I’m not trying to prove anyone wrong, but this fight is important to me and I want to win it. I want to be the top guy and that means beating the top guy.

 

People talk about him beating Matthysse and Matthysse beating me, but anyone who knows about boxing knows that doesn’t mean anything. Come Sabato night I will prove to everyone that I’m a better fighter than Danny Garcia.

 

Angel Garcia has his opinion on this fight, and I respect it. He can go on record and say anything he wants, but if he says Danny Garcia is stronger than me, I’ll tell you that’s a lie.

 

We’re not worried about Danny’s power. A lot of people have asked me about that but I’m not worried. Danny Garcia had a split decision with Kendall Holt, who I knocked out. No one seems to mention that.

 

I’m comfortable with whatever way this fight goes. I’m almost guaranteeing the win.

 

I don’t think they’re taking me lightly. Alla fine della giornata, Garcia knows this is a fight and he knows he hasn’t fought anyone like me. I’m expecting a big victory Sabato notte.

 

You never know what you’re going to see with me. Whatever I feel like I need to do to win, that’s what I’ll do. Sono pronto 100 cento. I’m in shape for 30 rounds and I’ll be ready for anything. ”

 

ANDY LEE

 

We’ve made unbelievable progress in the last year on my skills and everything has really just clicked for me and my team and now we’re seeing the results in the ring.

 

I’m very proud to be an Irishman from Limerick defending his world championship in New York, it doesn’t get much better than that.

 

There’s been a huge weight lifted off my shoulders since winning the world-title. It’s what I always wanted to do and I’ve been touted as a champion for years and if I never got it I would have been disappointed. Now the monkey is off my back and I can just box and show people who I am.

 

We’ve made physical and tactical improvements in the gym since the last fight and hopefully they’ll show up in the ring il Sabato.

 

I think this could be a technical fight or it could be a bit of a fire fight. It’s going to be a little of both at times. There will be moments where we’re looking at each other, figuring each other out, but once we exchange it could be explosive.

 

Quillin is sure of himself, but he has to be, I have the same mentality. You have to be to compete in this sport.

 

Fighting at home like Quillin is il Sabato, brings a different kind of pressure to the table, it’s the pressure of expectations and people you know coming to the fights. That’s also pressure and I know all about that.

 

I haven’t needed to build up my confidence for this fight. It’s not time to think. It’s time to do what I’ve been doing every day in the gym.

 

PETER Quillin

 

I never trailed in a fight and came back and won like Lee. I’ve just won all the time right out of the gate. Those other guys aren’t ‘Kid Chocolateso I think that’s why this fight was made.

 

It’s a big fight for him and a big fight for me. He’s a smart fighter when he’s in trouble so I have to watch out for that. Most importantly I just need to be true to myself.

 

A lot of people had Lee as the underdog in his last fight but he came out and did great. That’s the thing about boxing; one punch can change the fight.

 

I’m getting paid for 12 rounds so I’m preparing for 12 rounds but if I can get him out of there early I will.

 

My whole life has been struggles and I’ve had to overcome every single one of those struggles. This is going to be no different from that.

 

Being a father of course made me more inspired and watching my uncle pass has made me more motivated than ever to accomplish everything I want.

 

When I gave up the belt I learned that I can be a bigger man and make tough decisions like that all of the time. People think losing is easy, but winning all the time is a different kind of pressure.

 

ERROL SPENCE JR.

 

I am the best young prospect in the game. I’m on the borderline of contender status and I believe I’m one fight away from being a contender.

 

I’m a little bit of a mix style-wise. Sono un pugile, I can punch and I can fight if I have to.

 

The fight I learned the most from was with Emanuel Lartey, he was undefeated along with me and it was my first real fight and first time going the distance.

 

I see myself fighting all the top guys in the welterweight division. I see myself with Keith Thurman, Amir Khan and any top welterweight.

 

I’m going to look good as always il Sabato notte, It’s going to be fantastic and I’m going to come out with the victory.

 

MARCUS BROWNE

 

I’m just blessed to have this opportunity to fight at Barclays Center for the eighth time in front of my hometown fans.

 

I love performing in in Brooklyn. The fans here are fantastic and they know when I get in the ring they’re going to see something special.

 

I have a tough opponent in front of me. Ha sperimentato, very lanky fighter but we’ve trained very hard and I’m ready for anything he’s got.

 

Sabato is going to be a great night for Team Browne, Staten Island and all of my fans. Don’t blink cause you might miss it!”

 

Luis Collazo

 

I’ve spent some time with the family, regrouping and making sure I still have the same passion for this sport. I’m excited to be back and I jumped at the opportunity to be on this card.

 

This is what I live for. La boxe è la mia vita.

 

After the Khan fight I took about a month off and then I went straight to the gym. I couldn’t go out like I did against Khan. Niente scuse, but it was time to go back to the drawing board and stay motivated throughout the whole year.

 

The fans can expect the same excitement I always bring. I’m more motivated now and hopefully after this fight I can get a big fight and give the fans what they want.

 

HEATHER HARDY

 

I have the same mindset going into every fight. I train to fight my fight and make adjustments when get in there.

 

I feel strong and I feel capable of whatever needs to be done.

 

I’ve only been boxing for four years so I’m still learning a lot of boxing technique in camp plus working three or four days a week with my strength and conditioning coach.

 

Fans can expect a good show and a big win out me il Sabato.”

Guarda cosa avevano da dire Garcia e suo padre e l'allenatore Angel il Mercoledì.

 

DANNY GARCIA

 

“La formazione sta andando bene, Ho fatto tutto quello che dovevo fare e sono ancora concentrato. Manca una settimana e mezza al combattimento e sono pronto per partire. Se la lotta fosse domani Sarei pronto.

 

“È una grande lotta ed è la lotta che volevano i fan. Daremo ai fan una fantastica serata di boxe sulla NBC ed è ora che mostri al mondo che Danny Garcia è la star della NBC.

 

“Abbiamo avversari comuni come Khan e Matthysse e abbiamo ottenuto risultati diversi. Dicono che gli stili fanno a botte quindi quei risultati non contano. Bene, il mio stile è prenderlo a calci in culo.

 

“So che questo secondo PBC nello show della NBC sarà ancora più grande e mi sento semplicemente fortunato a farne parte e non vedo l'ora di uscire e mostrare le mie capacità.

 

“Sono pronto per qualunque cosa Peterson porti. Se prova a boxare, vado con quello e se vuole combattere, Sarò pronto. Non ho intenzione di entrare e cercherò solo di staccargli la testa, Sarò Danny Garcia.

 

“Mi piacerebbe lottare sul palcoscenico più importante della boxe contro Mayweather e Pacquiaos, ma per ora si tratta solo di affrontarlo un combattimento alla volta, questa è la storia in divenire.

 

“Molte cose sono cambiate per me negli ultimi anni, Tutti mi conoscono ora. Molte persone ti guardano in modo diverso ora, ma non mi ingrandisce la testa, mi motiva solo a lavorare sodo.

 

“Amo Brooklyn, è il mio quarto incontro al Barclays Center e sto cercando di farcela 4-0 su Aprile 11.

 

“Questa è una benedizione per lo sport della boxe. Milioni di fan non hanno avuto l'opportunità di guardare la boxe in prima serata da anni e questo è fantastico per questo sport.”

 

ANGEL GARCIA

 

“Darò credito a Peterson per aver indossato i guanti. Pensa che sarà una notte facile per lui. Si vede già in cima alla montagna. Non succederà così, rovineremo la sua festa.

 

“Voglio che Peterson si comporti fiducioso e si faccia avanti. Parlano come se Danny non fosse speciale ma ha perso contro i ragazzi che abbiamo battuto.

 

“Non importa quello che dicono gli altri fintanto che Danny è qui a intervenire 100 per cento ogni giorno. È tutta una questione di Aprile 11.

 

“Non ci alleneremo per otto settimane per andare lì e preoccuparci di cosa farà Peterson, faremo quello che dobbiamo fare. Ci alleniamo per entrare e vincere Aprile 11.”
