ERROL Spence JR.
“Această luptă înseamnă totul pentru mine. I still have a chip on my shoulder. I want to be the last man standing. I want to beat the top fighters in my division. Lamont is the one standing in front of me, so it’s fight time.
I think it’s going to turn into a war. A lot of people have thought this would be an easy fight for me. But if you follow Lamont Peterson, you know this will be tough. He’s always in great shape and has a lot of skills. IT might be a dog fight and that’s what I wanted. He’s the guy who wanted to fight and I said of course. It’s going to be a rugged fight. Later on in the fights, he always gets rough and stands toe-to-toe.
There might not be a lot of talking and bad blood between us, but you know that the two of us always give a great fight for the fans.
I had to wait for my title defense and then I had a lot of guys not answer the call for this fight. I have a belt and I still have to call these other guys out. Lamont Peterson answered the call like a real fighter.
In a perfect world I’d be unifying with Keith Thurman this year. I’m going to fight three times this year though. You don’t get time back. I’m ready to strike now.
I’m just excited to fight. Îmi place să lupt. I can’t wait to be in front of those bright lights in front of the fans. Brooklyn is a great place to fight and my family from the area can come see me live. I can’t wait to display my skills.
A true champion can’t fight everybody who calls them out, it’s still a business. But a true champion fights other champions, especially when they’re available. You can’t avoid questions and try to delay a fight. You fight the next champion that’s available, that’s what a true champion does.
LAMONT PETERSON
When I got into boxing, I had goals. First I wanted to be a National Champion, then a world champion as a professional, but the ultimate goal is to be in the Hall of Fame. With that being my goal, I wouldn’t put myself in that conversation yet. With wins over a guy like Errol Spence and the other top welterweights, I think I’m right there in it. That’s my goal and I’ll give it my all to get there.
If you left it to me I’d fight every month. That’s how much I love the sport. I know a victory would help me get in the ring even more often. Sometimes if you lose at the top level, other top guys don’t want to take a chance against you. I can fix all of that this weekend
I don’t worry about any negativity. My resume is written in the history books. All I can do is respect the opinion of others and work hard to get this win.
I’m excited and looking forward to the skill level that’s going to be displayed this weekend. It’s going to be a rough fight for sure. But I look forward to the technique and skill level. Defense, offense and transitioning between the two. That’s the part of boxing that I love.
Errol even taking the Kell Brook fight was impressive to me. Most guys in his position take their time leading up to the first title shot, but he ended up fighting someone in his prime in his country. To will himself to that win was very impressive.
When you get to the big stages and those big fights, you have to win more than you lose. I think if I can win some big fights these next few years my career will be in a good place.
ROBERT DE PAȘTE
I have no concerns fighting a southpaw. I made my last fight hard, but this time I’m going to use my reach, my feet and my speed to dominate.
I’m looking for a great performance. This is going to be the best Robert Easter the fans have ever seen. We prepared to dominate this fight.
Javier Fortuna is an accomplished fighter but I don’t know too much about him. I know what I came to do. I’m a world champion and everyone knows what I bring to the fight game. I won’t leave without my strap.
I’m ready to fight the best in this sport. I want to become the man at this weight and I know I have to beat the other champions to do that.
Boxing is all about showing you’re the best and fighting the best. I just want to fight these other champions in my weight class. I’m looking to stay healthy in 2018 and remain on top.
JAVIER FORTUNA
I have no excuses on Ianuarie 20. I hope he doesn’t either. I will be taking that title to the Dominican Republic for my fans. I’ve been dreaming about it and I will take it.
I have the style and the skills to beat Robert Easter. I know how to make sure his height does not affect me at all. Everyone will see it on fight night.
I’ve prepared myself very well. I have a plan to win every round. If he’s able to stand there, I’m going to break him down round by round.
I am fighting for more than just myself and that is why I’ll be successful. I am going to prove that I’m truly one of the top fighters in the sport.
Robert Easter is a fighter I respect, but I believe I can defeat anyone in front of me. If he takes me lightly, it will go even worse for him. I’ve been training hard to make sure I’m at my absolute best on fight night.
A win would be great for my country, my fans and my family. Winning this title is everything for me. That’s why I’m here and I will not be stopped.
DERRICK JAMES, Trainer Spence
I started training Errol about nine years ago but I never really knew just how special he was until about a year or so into our training. I thought Olympics were definitely possible, because I didn’t want to look too far ahead. Now that we’re here, I think he can beat any of the top guys. I want him to be undisputed welterweight champion just like he wants to be.
I never worry about comparing Errol to other guys in the sport. He’s a hard puncher who breaks ribs and breaks faces. The longer the fight goes, the more pain he inflicts. I’ve never seen anybody who punches that hard.
I think Lamont knew when he moved up to welterweight that this fight would be a possibility. It’s time for us to go to work because I know Lamont and Barry Hunter are working on a game plan. They have a great team and I know Lamont will be ready for what we bring.
BARRY HUNTER, Trainer Peterson
We stay in the gym all the time. We didn’t have to deal with the weight monster this camp. Weight issue can really derail a camp leading up to a fight of this magnitude. We didn’t have to deal with any of that.
There are several different things in Errol’s arsenal that I think we can exploit. Errol will make adjustments though, so I think strategy will be a key in this fight.
Lamont has always been a coach’s dream. He’s the type of athlete that you would love to coach. He does everything a coach asks of him. He will train until he passes out. All he wants is to work hard and compete.
LOU Dibella, Președintele Dibella Divertisment
This is a great night for boxing. The first January date of the year drums up a lot of excitement and we expect a great turnout sâmbăta noapte de la Barclays Center. It’s going to be a great crowd and an exciting night from top to bottom.
“Errol Spence Jr. is one of the best young fighters in the world testing himself against another great fighter in Lamont Peterson It’s the best fighting the best. Lamont Peterson is a guy with a tremendous resume. If anybody thinks Errol is going to take Lamont lightly, they’re mistaken and he would be too.
Both of these main event fighters are lucky to have trainers who are real teachers. They are old school and two of the best. Derrick James and Barry Hunter know the game inside and out.
Robert Easter is a beast, he’s got reach, power and boxing ability. He’s facing a guy in Javier Fortuna who is a confident former world champion. Javier has been talking a big game. He’s talking about knockouts. You want to see a guy come into a fight like this with that kind of confidence.
This year in boxing is starting out just like last year started, at Barclays Center with a great, even matchup like Badou Jack vs. James DeGale last year.
STEPHEN Espinoza, Executive Vice President & Director General, Showtime Sports
In terms of representing the sport, you don’t get any better than Errol Spence Jr. and Lamont Peterson. The professionalism of these guys is unmatched and they represent the best of the sport. I’m proud to have them on the network.
You can’t play boxing. You have to be dedicated and passionate. Those values are going to be reflected in the ring sâmbăta.
This is a special fight. These are the best in the sport. They’re both top 10 baieti. Errol Spence Jr. has grown up on SHOWTIME.
He made his pro debut on ShoBox and won his first world title on SHOWTIME. This is Lamont’s eighth appearance on SHOWTIME and he has one of the strongest resumes in the sport.
Robert Easter and Javier Fortuna is another matchup of top 10 baieti. What we’re doing here is special. This isn’t just another network doing boxing, this is the cream of the crop.
BRETT YORMARK, CEO of Brooklyn Sports & Divertisment
I’m really excited about Sâmbătă noapte. We’ve been very fortunate to host the first big event of the year. There’s an appetite to get back into the game and we’re happy to be hosting it.
I want to welcome back Errol and Lamont to Barclays Center. Both have been there before and we’re thrilled to have you back. We’re pleased that Robert has finally decided to take his show to Barclays Center and give the fans a performance. Last time Javier won at Barclays Center he won his world title and we’re happy to have him back.
We’re going to create something great here in Brooklyn and it continues sâmbăta night at Barclays Center.

CITATE FINALE:

 

 

CLARESSA SHIELDS:

 

 

“Tori brings a lot more aggression, a lot more fight than a lot of my previous opponents. Pe hârtie, she has the best resume of any opponent I’ve faced and can put up a better fight.

 

 

 

“Everybody underestimates me because of my size. My frame looks like I’m a 140 but really I’m a 168. Everyone goes into a fight thinking they can win, but once that right hand lands everything changes. I’m going to go after her in the first round and get her out of there like Nikki Adler.

 

 

 

“I expect my opponent to apply pressure, and to use some dirty tactics. She has more experience, but not that much when you speak of her amateur experience.

 

 

 

“She’s confident and she believes in herself. She thinks I haven’t earned my place yet. She doesn’t think I throw hard punches. Speed is power. She doesn’t get that.

 

 

 

“This has been a hard camp, I really pushed myself. I usually do six weeks, this time I did eight weeks. I hadn’t fought since August so I wanted to give myself an extra two weeks so I knew I was in perfect shape.

 

 

 

“There’s no doubt that I start the year with a win, but I see this as a competitive fight. I’m going to have to earn the win but I believe I can KO her by the sixth, seventh round.”

 

 

 

TORI NELSON:

 

 

“I know I’m the underdog, but I’ve dropped nine people. She hasn’t scored one knockdown yet as a pro. When Claressa turned pro, I knew I’d have to face her eventually.

 

 

 

“A win is what I came for. I expect nothing different. I hope it would expose female boxing and not only open doors for me, but other female boxers coming up after me.

 

 

 

“I feel it’s more entertaining to watch a female fight. When women get dropped, they get right back up and go after it again. When men get knocked down, they start hiding because they don’t want to get hit again. So I think we should get paid just as much as the men.

 

 

 

“I’m blessed to be here, but I’m not a winner until I complete what I came here to do. And that’s win. The odds are definitely against me, but I’m going to shock the world.

 

 

 

“I want to take her into the deep waters. We don’t think she can beat us in a 10-round fight.

 

 

 

“They’re not going to give me anything. I have to be a dog and go in there and win this fight. I’ve always been aggressive. Why change anything for her?"

 

 

 

JESSE HERNANDEZ

 

 

“I’m just trying to get closer to a title fight. Moving up the rankings is the main goal right now, and I’m on the right path. A win here in a 10-round fight would be huge for my career.

 

 

 

“Being an all-around fighter is something I’m working on. But you can’t become a well-rounded fighter until you get the experience and the fights and that’s what I’m working on doing right now. I want to get more rounds in and progress.

 

 

 

“Fighting a southpaw is not a problem for me. I can switch my stance, but it’s not something I think about or plan. It just happens naturally in a fight.

 

 

 

“I’ve always believed in myself, even when I took time off. I believed that I could get back into it and get to a top level. The wins over two undefeated fighters did a lot for my confidence. I knew I could do it, but it showed others I belong and that I can compete at the top level.”

 

 

 

ERNESTO GARZA

 

 

“I like to bring the pressure, and he’s a pressure fighter too. We’ll see who backs up once we start throwing punches.

 

 

 

“I like to face fighters who come forward like him so I think everything will work for me. I plan on applying the pressure, getting him tired in the latter rounds, and taking him out.

 

 

 

“He tends to switch, but I think that’s when he gets off-balance. He won’t bring anything I haven’t seen before.

 

 

 

“I’m fighting at my natural weight class this time. My last fight on ShoBox (against undefeated Jon Fernandez) I was fighting a much higher weight.

 

 

 

“I don’t think his height and reach will give me any issues. I’ve been working with a lot of guys in the gym who have similar size and style. We’re ready for anything.

 

 

 

“A win would be a great step for me and my career. All the doors would open up for us.”

 

 

 

SHOHJAHON ERGASHEV:

 

 

“I love training here because of the fact that it’s a different atmosphere here in the States. It’s a real professional setup, I feel that my skills and my technique have gotten a lot better training here with Sugar Hill.

 

 

 

“I know that he is an experienced fighter. He’s undefeated and he’s coming to fight. It’s a big opportunity for both of us.

 

 

 

“I’m very honored to be on SHOWTIME and happy to be getting this kind of national exposure. A win would cement me as one of the best junior welterweight prospects in the world.

 

 

 

“I’ve gotten a lot better training at the Kronk Boxing Gym in Detroit. Last training camp was an introduction to the American style of boxing and this camp really improved my technique and tactics with the intense sparring.

 

 

 

"Im 11-0 cu 11 knockout. I’m a puncher and I want to knock him out, but I’ve trained for the distance. I’ve trained to knock somebody out in the first round and the eighth round.

 

 

 

“This is a big step-up in opposition, but I’ve had over 200 amateur fights against some of the best amateur boxers in the world. I’ve beaten Olympic medalists and very accomplished amateur fighters.”

 

 

 

SONNY FREDRICKSON

 

 

“I’ve been waiting for this exposure for a long time. I’ve been trying to get on TV for the last two or three years, so this is a huge deal for me. Hopefully a win bumps me up into the top 5 and gives me a title shot at the end of this year or the beginning of next year.

 

 

 

“We spar a lot with Robert (Paști). It’s back-and-forth action. We grew up together and learn a lot from each other. I give him some pointers here and there and he does the same for me.

 

 

 

“I don’t know too much about my opponent. I know he’s a lefty and he has a strong punch. He’s a good match for me. He wants to keep coming forward and land big shots so I’ll be able to outbox him pretty easily.

 

 

 

“I don’t think nerves will be factor. I’ve fought on Andre Ward’s card, I’ve been in big fights before.

 

 

 

“I’m going to knock him out after the third round. I’m going to say, hei, get him out of here.

 

 

 

“After this fight, fans will start learning my name. I think they’ll want to see me have a shot at the 140 pound title.”

Also in attendance at the workout was Peterson’s brother, once-beaten contender Anthony Peterson, who competes in undercard action on the Ianuarie 20 eveniment.
Here is what the workout participants had to say Thursday:
LAMONT PETERSON
“Mă simt minunat. I’m already close to weight. I’m happy and eating up to five times a day. I feel strong and I’m ready for this fight.
I have to look at this as really just another big fight. When you’re at the top, you try not to make too much of each fight. We know what’s at stake. I know that when I keep it simple, that’s when I perform best.
Right now my body feels better than ever. I’m comfortable with everything that’s gone on in camp and I think you can see it in my body.
I’ve always trained hard since the first day I came here as a child. That’s been instilled in me since a young age and it’s carried me throughout my career.
Everything I do is for D.C. I’m trying to get as much recognition for this area the best way I can. That’s what we all strive for in this gym. This is the biggest one that’s been on the schedule for a while and I’m ready to bring it home.
It gets easier and easier the more championship fights I’m in. I was in shape for all of them, but I definitely put more pressure on myself when I was young. I’ve improved each time and now I feel like I’m really at the perfect place in my career.
ANTHONY PETERSON
I have to make a statement. I never feel comfortable with a decision. I think that’s a good thing because I have to be special under the bright lights.
Everyone knows I like to go to the body. You know I’m going to make him work so you can look out for me to break my opponent down on the Ianuarie 20.
I’ve been sparring with a variety of experienced fighters over the last year and they’ve helped me out even while I haven’t had a fight. Ring rust is all mental. It’s up to you to put the work in.
I haven’t gotten the fights that I want, but I’ll always stick to my game and stick to my craft. I know if I persevere, things will work out for me.
I know that I love this sport. I know that eventually I will be a world champion. I believe in my future and I’m looking forward to big fights.
It’s inspiring to watch Lamont do his thing and succeed. He’s going to beat Errol Spence, even if people don’t believe it. I think he’s going to take care of business.
BARRY HUNTER, Trainer Peterson
It’s been a long grind in camp for these guys. When I think back on how long we’ve been on this journey, I’m very proud of them. They were 9 și 10 when they first came into the gym.
We don’t have the weight monster to deal with fighting at welterweight. Lamont is in a great place mentally and physically. I’m looking forward to an explosive fight.
When you look at the Spence-Brook fight, early on Brook had a lot of success. Down the stretch Errol imposed his will and broke Brook down. I know Errol well and I’ve coached him. He has a strong will. He’s not great in one area, but he’s good in a lot of areas. This is a different kind of guy he’s facing. Heart is something Lamont is nowhere near short on. I think this might start off tactical, and then turn into a war.
My job is to go in there with part of a plan, but it’s always about adjustments for us. Whatever Errol brings to the table, we’ll figure it out and put everything in motion.
This last week is a lot of game plan and mental preparation work. A lot of fighters don’t train the mind. You have to train the mind even more so than the body. We have to be ready for every scenario.
I think if Anthony goes in there and does his job there are a few vacant titles at 140-pounds and that’s a track for us. We want to get a strap around his waist and we’ll face anyone to get it.
“Lamont, along with Anthony, Gary Russell Jr., Jarrett Hurd and Gervonta Davis, have been holding down boxing in this area for a long time. It would be huge to bring this title home. There are a lot of young Lamont Petersons in this area who want to reach this level. It would be a beacon of light shining down and showing these people the way.

VICTOR ORTIZ
We’re warriors up here. Devon is not going to like me much come Februarie 17 and I know I won’t like him much. This is business, because I’m here for the victory.
I’ve been counted out many times in this sport. I’m not going to take any shortcuts in training, I’m just going to keep listening to what my coach wants me to do so I can be at my best.
Being on this stage is very significant for me. Thankfully I have people who don’t stop believing in me. I’ve seen both sides and been in the middle. At this point, the only place I’m focused on going is up. It’s all in front of me.
We have mutual respect for each other. He’s a tremendous fighter just like me. Everyone knows it will be two warriors stepping into the ring on Februarie 17. We’re going to go all out. I’m going for a victory just like him.
I’m going to keep coming forward until my hand is raised in victory. One day I will be the champion again and it starts Februarie 17 in El Paso.
DEVON ALEXANDER
Both of us are very good, skillful boxers and that should make for a great matchup. Everyone knows we both come to fight and have been world champions so it’s going to be exciting on fight night.
This is going to be an excellent fight. I’ve known Victor for a long time, but this is going to be business on Februarie 17. I think I’m the best fighter in the world, and I have to go prove that.
Boxing is what I love to do. This is what I was born to do. I’m so thankful to my coach, Kevin Cunningham, for sticking by me these last few years and helping get me back to this point.
I’m excited about this fight and I know Victor is too. The fans in Texas are always fantastic and they should expect an action packed night. It’s an awesome feeling to be able to showcase my talent. This is what I’ve been working hard for.
I’m an all-around good fighter and I think my speed and quickness will be the difference. No one can hit me when I’m at the top of my game.
I don’t see this one going the distance. We’re both very hungry. We know that a loss puts us at the back of the line and neither of us can afford that.
I’m really thankful to El Paso for hosting this fight. It’s going to be a great night and I’m happy to be the main event. Everyone should come out for a great show. It’s going to be lots of fire and fury. Victor and I are really coming to fight.
AUSTIN TROUT
I’m looking forward to fighting close to home. Many of you know I was born here in El Paso and grew up right across the road in Las Cruces, New Mexico. To be here again is surreal and it’s even more special being on a great card like this.
This is where it all started for me. I’m going back to the roots of where I won a championship. It feels good to bring everything full circle. I’m blessed to be a part of this event.
I’m really proud to be part of this card and this great night of boxing. I can’t wait to fight next toThe El Paso SweetheartJennifer Han. I’ll be theLas Cruces Tough Guyon fight night and give everyone a great show.
JENNIFER HAN
I’m so excited to be part of this card. There is so much talent and it’s going to be an amazing show. We’re going to make El Paso extremely proud on Februarie 17.
I’ve been training very hard to fight my mandatory. She’s coming from Argentina to take my title so I need everyone to come out and support me on fight night.
I’m a professional fighter and I love what I do. This is what I was born to do. I’m so excited to do this in front of my friends and my family and peers. Without the support of the El Paso community, Nu aș fi aici.
Women’s boxing is growing and growing and I’m proud to be a part of it. Come out and support us and we won’t let you down. It’s going to be a great show.
JOSEPH JANIK, Ortiz’s Trainer
I know that there is a great boxing community here in El Paso. Boxing is a part of the culture here and we’re glad to be a part of it.
One of these fighters is about to take a big step forward in their career, but it doesn’t happen without a win on Februarie 17. We’ve been in camp training hard and Victor will be ready.
Victor is never in a bad fight and I expect this will be another great one. We have some new things coming and Victor is going to show you something you’ve never seen before. We plan on being victorious on Februarie 17.”
KEVIN CUNNINGHAM, Alexander’s Trainer
This is definitely a crossroads fight for both guys. We’ve known Victor since he was like nine-years-old, fighting in the same region as him. This is business, because this is a crossroads fight for both guys in their careers and their lives.
The winner of this fight will go on to bigger and better things and the loser has to get back at the end of the line. That’s not the plan for Devon, and Victor is in the way right now. Devon is going to be well prepared and I expect it will be an action packed fight.
TOM BROWN, Președintele TGB Promoții
It’s great to be back in El Paso with a big fight like this. It is truly a great fight town. I’m really looking forward to this card and I think the fans here are going to love it.
Our main event is a true crossroads fight. Victor Ortiz and Devon Alexander are battle-tested in one of the toughest and deepest divisions in boxing. The winner of this fight will be back on the path to a world title.
Victor Ortiz brings an exciting, aggressive style and he always comes to fight. That’s why he’s one of the most entertaining fighters in the sport today. Devon Alexander has overcome some health issues and is back in the ring with one thing on his mind, to regain a world title.

„În primul rând trebuie să câștige această luptă în luna februarie,“A spus Relikh (21-2, 19 KO). „Dar apoi am speranțe de un an mare apărarea centura mea împotriva obligatorie și în cele din urmă o luptă de unificare. Acest lucru va fi anul I ajunge la un nou nivel în acest sport.“

 

 

 

Barthelemy și Relikh va lupta pentru WBA este vacant Super Lightweight titlul mondial după titlul lor eliminator Bout mai sa încheiat într-o decizie discutabilă pentru Barthélemy. De data aceasta luptătorii vor uita să lase nici o îndoială cu titlul complet pe linie.

 

 

 

„Aceasta este a doua mea lupta pentru un titlu mondial și va fi oa doua lecție pentru mine,“A spus Relikh. „Acesta este timpul meu pentru a deveni campion. Trebuie să fac mult mai mult în timpul acestei lupte.

 

 

 

„Trebuie să fiu drept agresiv de la început. Sunt sigur că am nevoie de un knock-out pentru a obține victoria. El poate încerca să ruleze, dar el nu va putea să se ascundă de mine.“

 

 

 

„Câștigarea acestui titlu ar fi un vis devenit realitate pentru mine,“A spus Barthelemy. „Mi-ar fi primul luptător cubanez în istorie pentru a câștiga un titlu în trei divizii diferite. Ultima lupta a fost foarte aproape și merită o revanșă.

Ambii luptători au sacrificat în tabără de antrenament pe drumul spre ceea ce ei speră să fie un moment de sărbătoare pe Februarie 10, greu de formare prin sezonul de vacanță pentru a rămâne pe țintă pentru lupta de noapte.

 

 

 

„Intreaga echipa mea a făcut o treabă fantastică până acum în tabără,“A spus Barthelemy. „Ismael Salas și Joel Casamayor sunt oferindu-mi sfaturi și mă ține concentrat pe obiectivul meu. Un lucru nou am adăugat această tabără este Bob Santos pentru nutriție și de putere și condiționare. Este facut o mare diferenta de peste concediu în cazul în care, de obicei, am mânca prea mult. El mi-a ținut o dietă strictă și de formare nu a fost niciodată mai bine.“

 

 

 

„Aceste ultime câteva săptămâni prin vacanța au fost cel mai greu din tabăra, astfel încât nu a existat nici o cameră pentru distragere,“A spus Relikh. „Am petrecut Anul Nou cu familia mea și apoi am avut dreptate înapoi în tabără de antrenament în dimineața.“

 

 

 

Cu două centuri în divizia de 140 de lire pe linie în aceeași noapte, câștigătorul dintre Barthélemy și Relikh va fi într-o poziție foarte bună de a începe o cale spre unificare după februarie 10.

 

 

 

„Voi avea ochii pe evenimentul principal sigur,“A spus Relikh. „Sunt concentrat pe Barthélemy acum, dar vreau să unifice și dacă asta înseamnă lupta Garcia sau Lipinets, Voi fi gata."

 

 

 

„Garcia vs. Lipinets va fi o luptă mare și am dori în mod sigur câștigătorul,“A spus Barthelemy. „Deși Lipinets este underdog merge în această luptă, Cred că o să dea Garcia tot ce se poate ocupa. Dar eu încă mai cred că Garcia va ieși pe partea de sus, instituirea de război între noi într-un meci de unificare.“

After losing to Amir Khan and Aaron Martinez, Alexander suffered another setback when he sought treatment for an addiction to painkillers. Fully healthy for the first time în trei ani, Alexander returned to the ring with a unanimous decision victory over Walter Castillo on FS1 on Noiembrie. 21.
I’m excited to get back in there against a fighter like Victor Ortiz,” a declarat Alexander. “We’ve known each other a long time but never fought in the amateurs, so this should be interesting. My speed, quickness and smarts will win me this fight. Victor checks out sometimes when he can’t hit you, so my skills will be the difference. I’m ready for any challenge that’s brought my way. When I’m 100 la sută, nobody can beat me.

Iată ce a avut de spus despre ianuarie lor luptătorii 20 matchups și mai mult:
ROBERT DE PAȘTE (20-0, 14 KO) – Efectuarea treia apărare a IBF Ușoare titlu mondial
“Această luptă poate stabili cu siguranta un ton bun pentru mine în 2018. Voi face o declarație cu această luptă. Ultimele mele trei lupte nu am ajuns un knock-out. Voi fi oferindu-fanii mei și lupta fanilor un spectacol bun.
“Am de gând să utilizeze o mică și lungimea mea și distruge acest tip din exterior. Toată cariera mea am fost lupta baieti mai scurte. Fiecare tip scund nu lupta același lucru. Dar te în ring și să-l simți afară și să facă ajustări.
“Nu e nimic, în special, că trebuie să se pregătească pentru cu Fortuna. Eu iau fiecare luptă la fel. Fiecare luptător luptă diferite, astfel încât să obțineți acolo, sa-l simt afară și să facă ajustări pe măsură ce merge de-a lungul. Nu sunt îngrijorat de el fiind stangaci. M-am confruntat cu o mulțime de stângaci în cariera mea și în amatori. Asta e nici o problema.
“Cred că ceea ce mă face să mă mai periculos boxer în această luptă are înălțimea pe care o fac și puterea stantare și viteza și mentalitatea precum. mentalitatea mea este că eu nu mă duc acolo să se joace în jurul cu el. Sunt gata să distrugă.
“Obiectivele mele pentru 2018 sunt de a capta mai multe titluri și pentru a obține crize de unificare. Am avut câțiva campioni din clasa de greutate, dar se pare că nimeni nu este dispus să lupte cu alți campioni. Suntem dispuși să facem tot ce este nevoie, lupta oricine are titlurile. Suntem dispuși să captureze toate acele titluri ori de câte ori ceilalți băieți sunt dispuși să se înscrie pentru luptele.”
JAVIER FORTUNA (33-1-1, 23 KO) – Fostul Campion Mondial Super Ușoară
“pregătirea mea pentru această luptă merge foarte bine. Am fost de lucru în Republica Dominicană, dar m-am întors la Boston pentru a termina formarea mea. Chiar acum suntem la 75% și de închidere de pe 100%. Eu voi fi complet pregătită atunci când este timpul pentru a lupta. pregătirea mea și strategia mea mi mai periculos tip face.
“Eu văd acest lucru ca nici o altă luptă pe care le-am avut înainte, pentru că fiecare adversar este diferit. Orice persoană are propria lor nișă la acest nivel, ceva care lucrează pentru ei. nisa lui este că el e înalt. El folosește în avantajul său. Dar nu e nimic care nu pot depăși. M-am luptat băieți înalți înainte.
“Prefer adversarii mei sa fie mai inalt. Se joacă în ce sunt în stare să fac. Nu am avut niciodată o problemă cu adversari mai inalti. Abner Cotto (5-10) este unul dintre băieți înalți pe care am luptat. M-am luptat în Chicago și a pus pe o mare performanță. (Fortuna a marcat un 5lea KO rundă împotriva Cotto)
“Scopul meu pentru 2018 este de a lupta împotriva tuturor top luptători de elită din clasa mea de greutate, și am încercat să devin menționat ca unul dintre cele mai bune din sport. Chiar vreau să câștige un alt titlu mondial într-o clasă de greutate diferită. Ar fi cel mai mare de până acum acest moment al carierei mele pentru a obține un alt titlu mondial.”
MARCUS BROWNE (20-0, 15 KO) – Top 10 clasat la 175 lbs. (WBC, WBO, WBA & IBF)
“Adversarul meu (francy Ntetu, 17-1, 4 KO) arata ca un durabil, tip dur. Eu văd această luptă fiind foarte interesant pentru fani atât timp cât durează. Am văzut un pic de bandă pe el. Știu că întotdeauna vine în forma tip-top, și am auzit că e consecvent în interpretarea sa în ring. I just know I’m going to have to be sharp on Jan. 20.
“Este întotdeauna o onoare să lupte aici, acasă și la Barclays Center. Este special pentru a putea efectua, în fața acestor fani și eu nu pot să aștept pentru a pune pe o performanță bună care duce la Spence vs. lupta Peterson.
“Această luptă mi-ar putea pune în poziția pe care trebuie să fiu în a lupta pentru un titlu mondial. Nu pot lipsi în nici un fel. Trebuie să iasă puternic cu o mare performanță de la început până la sfârșit și se lasă nici o îndoială acolo.
“Pentru 2018, Vreau să devin campion mondial. Sunt hotărât tomake se întâmple în acest an. That vision starts on Jan. 20 at Barclays Center against Francy Ntetu.
FRANCY NTETU (17-1, 4 KO) – David Luptat Benavidez la Barclays Center din iunie 2015
I know Marcus Browne is probably taking me lightly and thinks he will simply go through me. Sper că e cazul, pentru că va fi un șoc pentru el, fanii și echipa lui atunci când iau locul lui în linie pentru un titlu. Vreau să se confrunte cu Eleider Alvarez în orașul nostru natal de la Montreal după ce am obține acest câștig.
“lupta mea anterioară la Barclays Center împotriva actualului campion WBC David Benavidez a fost, evident, o decizie foarte proastă de arbitru pentru a opri lupta, mai ales atunci când am fost câștigarea etapei și Benavidez a fost încetinirea. Am fost mai puternică în timp ce el a fost obtinerea mai slab.
“Nu am mai fost rănit și nu a fost abandonat într-o luptă. Vreau Marcus să se provoace și să vedem dacă el poate face ceva ce nimeni altcineva nu are. Sunt încântat să fiu într-o luptă de o asemenea magnitudine. Marcus, este timpul pentru noi pentru a da fanilor ceea ce doresc!”
ADAM Kownacka (16-0, 13 KO) – Originar din Polonia & lupta din Brooklyn
“Această luptă va fi un alt pas spre a deveni un campion. Știu că va trebui să lucreze foarte greu și dovedi că sunt în continuare să se bazeze pe victorie împotriva Szpilka. Din film l-am văzut pe Iago Kiladze (26-1, 18 KO), se mișcă mult, așa că voi avea nevoie să taie inelul. Oricare ar fi el aduce la inelul, Voi avea un răspuns.
“Trei ani la rând acum am luptat în ianuarie. Îmi place începând de pe anul puternic. Soția mea și am început de fapt, o tradiție a “Kownacki familie” la miezul nopții on New Year’s Eve. Din moment ce eu sunt mereu pregătesc pentru o luptă în jurul valorii de Anul Nou, ne-am gândit că s-ar putea avea la fel de bine distractiv în timp ce lucrăm. Așa, vom avea niște prieteni ieși și a alerga câteva mile cu noi în jurul valorii de cartier în timpul focuri de artificii. Este distractiv și ajută să mă gata.
“În cele din urmă, Sunt în căutarea de a deveni cel mai bun din divizia grea. Scopul final pentru acest an este de a deveni un campion mondial. Dar primul pas este de a lua foarte în serios Iago Kiladze. I can’t look past Ianuarie 20 chiar acum. Am un adversar dur, care va provocare și mă face un luptător mai bine pe termen lung.”
IAGO KILADZE, A treia luptă deoarece se deplaseze până la diviziunea grea (2-0, 2 KO)
I feel great and my training has been terrific. antrenorul meu este Freddie Roach acum. I sparred cu (IBF Cruiserweight Champion) Murat Gassiev de trei ori mai recent, care este o mare pregătire pentru mine. I believe I can knockout Kownacki but if I have to go the distance I’m prepared for that. Oricum, Voi fi victorios. Sunt simt că eu sunt luptător mai calificați și care vor arăta în ring.
“Aceasta este o lupta mare pentru cariera mea și un început teribil pentru 2018. I know that if I win this fight I’ll be that much closer to a world title opportunity.
“Scopul meu este de a fi un campion mondial la sfârșitul anului 2018. I want to continue improving and learning under Freddie and with his guidance I’m confident of success.
