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 ar 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 mārciņas.

 

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

 

Craig Baker

Labi, 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

Paldies. Edwin Rodriguez, 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. Tik, Edwin, would you like to say a few words?

 

Edwin Rodriguez

Jā. Pirmkārt, 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

Jā, 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. Maiznieks

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. Tik, 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?

 

Un. Rodriguez

It means a lot because I haven’t fought at home for about four years now. Tik, 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?

 

Un. Rodriguez

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?

 

Un. Rodriguez

Tieši tagad, 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. Tik, 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. Maiznieks

Labi, 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. Man patīk, ka. Beigās dienas, 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. Maiznieks

I just felt like it was time, viens.

 

Q

Edwin, what impresses you about Craig Baker?

 

Un. Rodriguez

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. Tik, how is your confidence level going in when you fight somebody who hasn’t lost?

 

Un. Rodriguez

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

Paldies. 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&A, if anyone has a question for Eddie, Eddie is available. We’re going to start with James DeGale. James, would you like to say a few words? James is 21-1, ar 14 Kos.

 

James DeGale

Yeah, my time is here. My time is here, nākamajā sestdienā. I’ve trained extremely hard and you’re in for a treat because you’re going to watch two very talented hungry fighters nākamajā sestdienā 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. Tik, fasten your seatbelts, viens. It should be good.

 

L. DiBella

Paldies, 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, viens. He feels like he’s an undefeated fighter. I feel like I’m an undefeated fighter, but we both have a lot to prove, viens. Tik, we’re going to come to the full effect and I believe it’s going to be a great show.

 

L. DiBella

Paldies, Cits. 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, Sestdiena afternoon of Memorial Day Weekend, 4:30 p.m. UN/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

Yeah. 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. Tik, I box on big shows in front of 10,000-20,000 cilvēki. It should be good. They have a lot of Irish and English over there. Tik, 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

Yeah. 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. Tik, yeah, 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.

 

Acīmredzot, 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. Tik, I’m confident. I’m feeling good, and I’m motivated very well at the minute.

 

Q

Cits, 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. Tik, how have you been able to converse with him about getting through that loss?

 

A. Dirrell

Labi, 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. Tik, I just told him keep his confidence up, man and stay on that run, viens. Don’t lay off at all. That’s all we can do, viens. 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.

 

Tik, I’m feeling good, viens. 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?

 

A. 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, viens, 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. Tik, 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. Tik, 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

Tā uzskata, lieliski, but I need to stay focused and keep my eye out on the prize. That’s what I have to do. Bet, jūs zināt, ko? 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. Bet jūs zināt, ko? Es esmu. I am because that’s what drives me and that’s what makes me train hard every day. Tik, yeah, I’m looking forward to it.

 

Q

Labi, 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

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

 

Q

Cits, 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?

 

A. Dirrell

Labi, I look at it all from a mental aspect. As of now, viens, 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. Tik, 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 Sestdiena 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?

 

A. 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. Bet, none of that can come into play without hard work, and I know he’s worked his ass off, viens. 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. Labi, 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. Tik, 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 Man nebija 100% tiesības. Even against Periban I wasn’t 100% tiesības. Now I’m 100% tiesības, fully healthy, fully focused and mentally right. Tik, you’re going to see me step up again nākamajā sestdienā.

 

Q

James, you mentioned about being a buzz fighter and this is the biggest stage, the biggest pressure you’ve ever been under. Tik, 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, 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

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

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

 

Q

Cits. 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?

 

A. 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. Tik, 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.

 

Tik, 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, viens. 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?

 

A. 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. Tik, 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, lai tā būtu. 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?

 

A. 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. Tik, I kept training. Protams, 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. Tik, 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

Yeah, nav, I’m in Miami. I’ve been training here for the past week. Tik, we climatized and we adjusted and we’re ready to go.

 

L. DiBella

Just a couple of final words. Paldies, 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.

BROOKLYN (Aprīlis 12, 2015) – Premier Boksa Champions par NBC returned with two exciting bouts Sestdiena night as Danny “Ātrs” Garcia (30-0, 17 Kos) uzvarēta Lamont Peterson (33-3-1, 17 Kos) by majority decision and “Īrijas” Andy Lee (34-2-1, 24 Kos) un Peter “Kid Chocolate” Quillin (31-0-1, 22 Kos) 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.

 

“Es jūtos lieliski. I prepared for a war. He was moving a lot. I thought it was close, not going to lie,” Said 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,” Said Peterson. “I don’t expect an easy journey for me to get where I’m going. Es jūtos lieliski. 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 procents. 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,” Said 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.

 

“Tas bija grūts cīņa. 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 šovakar. If my next fight is Peter Quillin.

Otrais maksājums MVK par NBC sākas 8:30 p.m. UN.

 

Biļetes uz tiešraides pasākumā, ko jāsekmē DiBella Entertainment, cena ir $300, $200, $150, $100, $80 un $50, neieskaitot piemērojamos maksu par pakalpojumiem un nodokļiem, un ir par pārdošanas now.Tickets ir pieejami www.barclayscenter.com, www.ticketmaster.comun pie American Express kasē Barclays Center.

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 kārtas.

 

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. Sestdiena is going to be about who can make the right adjustments.

 

I love 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 Sestdiena 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.

 

“Es esmu gatavs cīnīties, 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 Aprīlis 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, Prezidents DiBella Izklaide

 

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 par 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, bet tas nebūs viegli.

 

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, Prezidents, Programmēšana, 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 Šo sestdien 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, Izpilddirektors Barclays Center

 

Šo sestdien 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.

“Savā karjerā esmu saskāries ar daudz prasmīgiem bokseriem un joprojām esmu neuzvarēts. Tam vajadzētu pateikt faniem visā pasaulē, kam ir vairāk prasmju. Šāda kā Aprīlis 11 kad viņš sajutīs šīs divas bumbas sejā, viņš aizmirsīs savu prasmi.

 

“Es tikai vēlos dot faniem lielisku cīņu. Es neesmu pārāk noraizējies par ‘0’ manā ierakstā. Es cītīgi cīnos, lai to aizsargātu, bet mans galvenais uzdevums ir iet iekšā un paveikt darbu vienā cīņā vienlaikus.

 

“Viss, ko esmu darījis savā karjerā, ir iemesls. Tagad esmu šeit NBC, cīnoties šajā lielajā spēles laukumā. Tas ir lieliski piemērots boksam un svaiga gaisa elpa sportam.

 

“Es tikai gribu būt pārliecināta un vienlaikus pazemīga. Es gribu, lai fani mani mīl, jo es esmu pati. Jaunam čempionam tas ir ļoti svarīgi.

 

“Es mēģināšu diktēt tempu, esi gudrs, pakustini galvu, izmantojiet manas kājas un nolaidiet labus sitienus. Es nevaru mēģināt viņu vajāt.

 

“Es kādreiz mīlēju citus lieliskus Puertoriko bokserus, piemēram, Feliksu Trinidadu, Migels Kotto un Hektors Kamaho. Man šķiet, ka es noteikti strādāju kopā ar viņiem un sekoju viņu pēdām.

 

“Man ringā jābūt gudram. Man tur jāiet iekšā un jābūt Denijam Garsijam. Es esmu šeit, jo esmu gudrs cīnītājs. To zina visi. Man ir vara. Es atradīšu savu atklāšanos un izmantošu viņa kļūdas.”

 

 

LAMONT PETERSON

 

“Šī man ir tikai kārtējā cīņa. Mani neuztrauc tas, ka esmu galvenais notikums. Es mīlu, lai cīnītos. Kamēr es cīnos, esmu laimīgs.

 

“Daudzi cilvēki redz, kā mēs cīnāmies, un redz, kā mēs sitām, bet tā ir tikai vieglākā daļa. Upuris sporta zālē un ķermeņa atlaišana ar sodu ir rupjā daļa.

 

“Es nemēģinu pierādīt nevienam nepareizu, bet šī cīņa man ir svarīga, un es vēlos tajā uzvarēt. Es gribu būt labākais puisis, un tas nozīmē, ka jāsit top puisis.

 

“Cilvēki runā par to, ka viņš piekāva Matīsu un Matīss mani, bet ikviens, kurš zina par boksu, zina, ka tas neko nenozīmē. Šāda kā Sestdiena naktī es visiem pierādīšu, ka esmu labāks cīnītājs nekā Denijs Garsija.

 

“Eņģelim Garsijai ir savs viedoklis par šo cīņu, un es to cienu. Viņš var reģistrēties un teikt visu, ko vēlas, bet, ja viņš saka, ka Denijs Garsija ir stiprāks par mani, Es jums teikšu, ka tie ir meli.

 

“Mēs neuztraucamies par Denija spēku. Daudzi cilvēki man to ir jautājuši, bet es neuztraucos. Denijam Garsijam bija dalīts lēmums ar Kendalu Holtu, kuru es izsitu. Šķiet, ka neviens to nemin.

 

“Jebkurā veidā šī cīņa man ir ērta. Es gandrīz garantēju uzvaru.

 

“Es nedomāju, ka viņi mani izturas viegli. Beigās dienas, Garsija zina, ka šī ir cīņa, un viņš zina, ka nav cīnījies ar tādu kā es. Es gaidu lielu uzvaru Sestdiena nakts.

 

“Nekad nevar zināt, ko redzēsi ar mani. Lai ko es jūtos kā man jādara, lai uzvarētu, to es darīšu. Es esmu gatavs 100 procents. Es esmu formā 30 kārtām, un es būšu gatava uz visu. ”

 

ANDY LEE

 

“Pēdējā gada laikā mēs esam panākuši neticamu progresu attiecībā uz manām prasmēm, un man un manai komandai viss ir vienkārši klikšķis, un tagad mēs redzam rezultātus ringā.

 

“Esmu ļoti lepna, ka esmu īrs no Limerikas, aizstāvot savu pasaules čempionātu Ņujorkā, tas nekļūst daudz labāks par to.

 

“Kopš pasaules čempiona titula iegūšanas man no pleciem ir atcelts milzīgs svars. Tas ir tas, ko es vienmēr gribēju darīt, un mani jau gadiem ilgi reklamē kā čempionu, un, ja es to nekad nesaņemtu, es būtu vīlusies. Tagad mērkaķis ir nost no muguras, un es varu vienkārši boksēties un parādīt cilvēkiem, kas es esmu.

 

“Kopš pēdējās cīņas sporta zālē esam veikuši fiziskus un taktiskus uzlabojumus, un, cerams, ka viņi parādīsies ringā sestdien.

 

“Es domāju, ka tā varētu būt tehniska cīņa vai arī mazliet uguns cīņa. Reizēm tas būs nedaudz no abiem. Būs brīži, kad mēs skatīsimies viens uz otru, izdomājot viens otru, bet, kad mēs apmainīsimies, tas varētu būt eksplozīvs.

 

“Kvilins ir pārliecināts par sevi, bet viņam ir jābūt, Man ir tāda pati mentalitāte. Jums jābūt, lai sacenstos šajā sporta veidā.

 

“Cīnīties mājās tāpat kā Quillin sestdien, ienes galdā cita veida spiedienu, tas ir cerību un cilvēku, kurus jūs pazīstat, spiediens nāk uz cīņām. Tas ir arī spiediens, un es par to visu zinu.

 

“Man nav bijis jāveido pārliecība par šo cīņu. Nav pienācis laiks domāt. Ir pienācis laiks darīt to, ko katru dienu darīju sporta zālē.”

 

PETER QUILLIN

 

“Es nekad nesekoju cīņā un atgriezos un uzvarēju kā Lī. Es tikko visu laiku esmu uzvarējis tieši ārpus vārtiem. Šie citi puiši nav ‘Kid Chocolate’ tāpēc es domāju, ka tieši tāpēc šī cīņa tika veidota.

 

“Tā ir liela cīņa viņam un liela cīņa man. Viņš ir gudrs cīnītājs, kad viņam ir nepatikšanas, tāpēc man tas jāuzmanās. Vissvarīgākais ir tas, ka man vienkārši jābūt patiesai pret sevi.

 

“Daudziem cilvēkiem Lī bija pēdējais cīņas dalībnieks, taču viņš iznāca un paveicās lieliski. Tā ir lieta par boksu; viens sitiens var mainīt cīņu.

 

“Man maksā 12 kārtās, tāpēc es gatavojos 12 kārtas, bet, ja es viņu varēšu izvest no turienes, es to darīšu.

 

“Visa mana dzīve ir bijusi cīņa, un man nācās pārvarēt katru no šīm cīņām. Tas neatšķirsies no tā.

 

“Protams, ka es biju tēvs, tas mani iedvesmoja, un, skatoties tēvoča piespēli, es biju motivēts kā jebkad agrāk paveikt visu, ko vēlos.

 

“Kad atteicos no jostas, es uzzināju, ka varu būt lielāks vīrietis un visu laiku pieņemt tādus smagus lēmumus. Cilvēki domā, ka zaudēt ir viegli, bet uzvarēt visu laiku ir cita veida spiediens.”

 

Errol SPENCE JR.

 

“Esmu labākais jaunais spēlētājs šajā spēlē. Es esmu uz pretendenta statusa robežas, un es uzskatu, ka esmu viena cīņa tālāk, lai es kļūtu par pretendentu.

 

“Es esmu mazliet sajaukts stila ziņā. Es esmu bokseris, Es varu iesist un varu cīnīties, ja vajag.

 

“Cīņa, no kuras visvairāk iemācījos, bija ar Emanuelu Lartiju, viņš nebija uzvarēts kopā ar mani, un tā bija mana pirmā īstā cīņa un pirmā reize, kad devos distancē.

 

“Es redzu sevi cīnāmies ar visiem vidējā svara divīzijas labākajiem puišiem. Es redzu sevi kopā ar Kītu Tūrmenu, Amirs Khans un jebkurš augstākā svara svars.

 

“Es izskatīšos labi kā vienmēr sestdien nakts, Tas būs fantastiski, un es iziešu ar uzvaru.”

 

MARCUS BROWNE

 

“Es esmu tikai svētīts, ka man ir šī iespēja astoto reizi cīnīties Barclays centrā savu dzimto fanu priekšā.

 

“Man patīk uzstāties Bruklinā. Fani šeit ir fantastiski, un viņi zina, kad es nokļūšu ringā, viņi redzēs kaut ko īpašu.

 

“Man priekšā ir grūts pretinieks. Viņš ir pieredzējis, ļoti nīkulīgs cīnītājs, bet mēs esam ļoti smagi trenējušies, un es esmu gatavs uz visu, ko viņš ieguvis.

 

Sestdiena būs brīnišķīga nakts komandai Browne, Statenas sala un visi mani fani. Nemirkšķiniet, jo jūs to varētu palaist garām!”

 

Luis Collazo

 

“Esmu kādu laiku pavadījis kopā ar ģimeni, pārgrupēšanās un pārliecināšanās, ka man joprojām ir tāda pati aizraušanās ar šo sporta veidu. Es priecājos atgriezties, un es izmantoju iespēju atrasties šajā kartē.

 

“Tas ir tas, par ko es dzīvoju. Bokss ir mana dzīve.

 

“Pēc cīņas ar Khanu es paņēmu apmēram mēnesi brīvu laiku un tad devos tieši uz sporta zāli. Es nevarēju iziet ārā tāpat kā pret Khanu. Nav attaisnojumi, taču bija pienācis laiks atgriezties pie zīmēšanas dēļa un palikt motivētam visa gada garumā.

 

“Fani var sagaidīt to pašu satraukumu, ko es vienmēr sagādāju. Tagad esmu vairāk motivēts, un, cerams, ka pēc šīs cīņas es varu sākt lielu cīņu un dot faniem to, ko viņi vēlas.”

 

HEATHER HARDY

 

“Katrā cīņā man ir tāda pati domāšana. Es trenējos, lai cīnītos ar savu cīņu un veiktu pielāgojumus, kad tur iekāpju.

 

“Es jūtos spēcīga un jūtos spējīga uz visu, kas jādara.

 

“Boksēju tikai četrus gadus, tāpēc nometnē joprojām mācos daudz boksa tehniku, kā arī trīs vai četras dienas nedēļā strādāju kopā ar savu spēku un kondicionēšanas treneri.

 

“Fani var sagaidīt labu šovu un lielu uzvaru no manis sestdien.”

Check out what Garcia and his father and trainer Angel had to say trešdien.

 

Danny GARCIA

 

“Apmācība notiek labi, 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 rīt 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. Labi, 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.

 

I love Brooklyn, it’s my fourth fight at Barclays Center and I’m looking to make it 4-0 par Aprīlis 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.

 

ANGEL GARCIA

 

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 Aprīlis 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 Aprīlis 11.”
