I know that I will be fighting for a world title soon, so I’m just staying focused and disciplined until that time comes.”

Tickets for the live event at State Farm Arena, which is promoted by Mayweather Promotions, GTD Promotions and TGB Promotions, are on sale now and can be purchased at ticketmaster.com.

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday:

ERICKSON LUBIN

“This has been the best camp of my life. I know it sounds cliché, but it really has been. Benim son kavga beri spor salonunda oldum. I made a few mistakes in that fight, but Kevin Cunningham and I have been at it since last year and we’re coming to make a statement.

“This is a stacked card and we’re excited to be a part of it. I’m ready to show everyone that I’m the best fighter in this division.

“This is going to be a fan-friendly fight. I can mix it up, box or bang. Rosario always comes forward. The fans are going to love it. I’m not the fighter who tries to find an easy way out. I’m looking to make a statement.

“I think that I’m a totally different fighter than when I trained with his coach, Herman Caicedo. Me and Kevin have worked on a lot of things that regular southpaws don’t have. I’m coming in with a game plan that’s like a jigsaw puzzle. I think this is the wrong fight for Rosario to take coming off a knockout loss.

“This fight comes down to who wants it more and who prepared better. I have power too. He’s got to have the skills and have his mind there. I know I’m ready mentally. I can’t wait to fight.

“I gained a lot of experience fighting Nathaniel Gallimore and Terrell Gausha. Those are top contenders. I don’t want any tune-up fights, that’s why I took this fight against Rosario. I gained a lot of confidence and everything is clicking for me right now.

“When I become world champion, I want to be able to say that I’ve beat all the top guys in the division. That’s just how I am. I’m a competitor. Make sure you tune-in on June 26.

“It doesn’t matter if I knock Rosario out or if I don’t. My job is to look good and come out victorious. I’m going to go in there and show the world that I can make anyone in this division look bad.”

JEISON ROSARIO

“I feel very healthy and very strong. It’s been a great camp so far and probably one of the best camps I’ve had in my career. I’m already at the weight and I am ready to go. The Jermell Charlo fight is the past. That’s over with. This is a new camp and I feel very strong. We’re moving forward.

“I changed trainers just because I was looking for a change. Not necessarily because I lost, but because it was just the right timing. Ne yazık ki, it came with a loss, but that was not the reason for the change. We’ve known each other for some time. I know Herman Caicedo’s style. It’s no nonsense. Bahane yok. It’s all or nothing and that’s what I wanted moving forward.

“First and foremost, I have the power to knockout Lubin and anybody in the 154-pound division. The camp that I’ve had, and the little tidbits of southpaw knowledge that I’ve picked up on, make me confident that I can knock Lubin out.

“What happened in the Charlo fight was the fluke. Me winning the titles was not the fluke. I’m going to show everybody that I will bounce back from that loss and win my next fight. I have no problem taking this fight. It’s not a mistake at all. Bu yaptığımız budur. We fight. I’m very excited for June 26 and I expect Lubin to bring his best.

“I actually watched the Charlo fight for the first time last night. Belli ki, I learned from my mistake and worked to correct it in this camp. I’m looking forward to showing what I’ve learned from that defeat on June 26.

“At 154 kilo, I can knock anybody out. I have seen some of Lubin’s fights just as a fan and he is a great fighter. It’s not easy to land shots on him or land a home run shot. So that’s not the game plan. Belli ki, there is a game plan and if I do land on him, I feel that I can knock him out. But I won’t just go in there trying to land a shot on the chin.

“I’m the type to take advantage of an opportunity when it presents itself. This is another opportunity to get right back in the picture and fight for a title, so you have to take this. Not everybody would. Erickson did and I’m cut from the same cloth. It’s the opportunity and the pride of fighting the best.”

JULIAN WILLIAMS

“Camp is going really well. I’ve been out in Las Vegas with SugarHill Steward grinding and putting in the work. The fans can expect an explosive performance and a victory for myself on June 26.

“I just have to be myself on June 26. I think I’m more skilled than anyone else in the division and I plan on proving that again against Brian Mendoza.

“I’ve known who Brian Mendoza is. I expect him to get beat. O iyi bir savaşçı, but victory is the only thing on my mind.

“I don’t want to talk about what happened before the Rosario fight because it’s in the past. I don’t want to make any excuses. It wasn’t that I didn’t focus or train hard. Right now, I’ve had a great camp and I’m prepared to win.

“With me, you’re always going to see a hungry and focused fighter in the ring. I don’t know if I’ll look much different. I think with a new coach it takes some time for the changes to start setting in.

“I went through a four-week training camp before my fight in December was cancelled because I got COVID-19. It was almost a full camp and it definitely kept me motivated going into this next training camp for this fight.

“I’m the best fighter in the division. I just lost, that’s all. LeBron James and Michael Jordan had bad nights, I can have a bad night too. I’m still the best in the division and I’m anxious to get back in the ring.”

BRIAN MENDOZA

“Training camp has been going great. I’m out here in Las Vegas, çok. I’ve just been grinding. This is a very big opportunity for me and I plan to take full advantage of it. Everybody can expect one hundred percent and everything I have in me.

“It’s not about looking back at the one blemish on my record and crying about what happened in the past. There’s always a million excuses behind the scenes, ama ne olduğunu. I learned from that loss and you guys have seen the change in my performances since that fight and how I was more comfortable at 154 pounds in my next fight. I feel like this next fight will pull out even more from me. You guys will see another big jump in my skill level on June 26.

“I do feel that I have everything to gain in this fight and nothing to lose. I keep telling people on fight night that you’re not going to see somebody that’s just happy to be here and happy to get to this point. I have big goals and this is the perfect fight. So you’re going to see me coming with everything I have and coming for the victory. I have everything to gain.

“I feel like I’m catching Julian Williams at the right time because of where I am in my career. It’s about me. This is the right time. I’m 27-years-old and I’ve been a pro for many years now. I just feel like the schooling that I’ve had is really starting to come out and I’m hitting that next level. I’m not worried about what’s going on with Williams. I know he’s still coming with everything he has to prove that he still has it and that he’s still in the mix.

“A lot of people get to this point and they get a big fight like this and they think they’ve made it. They get happy just to be here, but you won’t see that at all with me. I’ve always visualized being at the top of this sport and climbing to the very top. I’m taking full advantage of this opportunity and you’re going to see somebody very hungry on June 26.”

LEONARD Ellerbe, Mayweather Promosyonlar CEO'su

“This is a really terrific card from top to bottom. Julian Williams is one of my favorite fighters. He’s a former unified champion who’s going to take on the tough Brian Mendoza. Williams is looking to make a big statement that he’s still a force and that he’s ready to get back in the mix with the other top 154-pounders.

“The co-main event could be a main event on its own. With Lubin and Rosario, we’re really excited to see who will emerge from that fight ready to challenge for a world title once again. We can’t wait for June 26.”

HAYWARD, CALIF. (Haziran 10, 2021) – Unbeaten WBA Super Lightweight Champion Mario "El Azteca" Barrios shared updates on training camp and previewed his upcoming showdown against four-time world champion Gervonta "Tank" Davis before they square off in the SHOWTIME PPV main event Saturday, Haziran 26 from the award-winning State Farm Arena in Atlanta headlining a Premier Boxing Champions event.

Tickets for the live event at State Farm Arena, which is promoted by Mayweather Promotions, GTD Promotions and TGB Promotions, are on sale now and can be purchased atticketmaster.com.

The 26-year-old Barrios will be looking for a signature victory on June 26, and will bring a 5 ½ inch height advantage into the matchup against Davis. Since moving up to 140-pounds, Barrios is 9-0 Sekiz knock-out ile, and scored multiple knockdowns in the only fight that went the distance, his title-winning performance over Batyr Akhmedov. The San Antonio-native is buoyed by having renowned veteran trainer Virgil Hunter in his corner.

Here is what Barrios and Hunter had to say about training camp, Davis and more:

MARIO BARRIOS

“This is a huge opportunity for me. Gervonta Davis has a huge name in the sport and outside of it. This is the type of fight that can accelerate both of our names after June 26.

“I think Gervonta and his team might have bit off more than they could chew with this fight. I’m not one to talk too much, but we’ll see how it plays out when we step into the ring on June 26.

“’Tank’ is going to be in there with a full blown 140-pounder. He’s not going against someone past their prime or going up in weight. I’m a guy who goes out and gets stoppages. He’s facing someone just as dangerous as he is, but two weight classes higher than what he’s used to seeing.

“We know Gervonta is a dangerous fighter. We know the threat that we have in front of us. But I’m just as dangerous, if not more dangerous. I’ve been dangerous at 140 pounds for quite some time now.

“I have speed, power and explosiveness, just like Gervonta. But I have the length and physical stature to present problems that he’s never faced before.

“I know that I have power that carries from round one through round 12. He’s not used to being at this weight and we’re going to see how he handles that move up.

“I’m confident because I have a great team behind me. I’ve had a tremendous training camp. I go into every fight with confidence in my preparation. Just like every fight, I’m more than prepared for fight night.

“This is going to be fireworks from the opening bell. We have everything we need to make this the ‘Fight of the Year’.

“This is the moment that I’ve been dreaming of since I was a kid. It just goes to show that everything I’ve been working for my whole life is now unfolding in front of me. This is just the beginning and I’m ready to seize this opportunity.”

VIRGIL HUNTER, Barrios’ Trainer

“The preparation is going really well. We feel really good. Mario is as ready as he can be, so we’re looking forward to an exciting fight. He understands the importance of this fight. It’s a career-defining fight at this stage of his career, so he understands the significance of it. He understands what a victory means and what a setback means. He understands right where he is. His career is still in front of him because he’s a young fighter. But at this stage, it’s a very important fight and a victory would mean a lot.

“You always have to acknowledge ‘Tank’s’ punching power. You have to acknowledge his quickness and his IQ. His attributes appear to be very much real from what I’ve seen. There’s not anything about him that you cannot take seriously. You have to take everything about him seriously. He’s got a good corner and good people behind him so that makes for a formidable opponent.

“Mario’s reach and height is an advantage if you know how to use it to your advantage. It could be an advantage or could be a disadvantage. The thing is that we’re going to find the avenues to take advantage of it and make it work for us. Diğer taraftan, it could be a disadvantage. Height and reach has never meant much to me in boxing because there are ways to overcome each stature that a fighter possesses. It’s who imposes their strategy and who imposes their will on the other who I think is going to come out victorious.

“The work ethic is there. Mario has a high ceiling that he hasn’t reached yet. He’s going towards that, but when he came here, he came with a high ceiling. A lot of fighters come and they’ve reached their ceiling, so there’s only so much you can do with them. But Mario has a lot of room for improvement and growth and I would say the best Mario Barrios is coming a couple years from now. But that doesn’t mean that he won’t be victorious on June 26. He definitely has what it takes to be victorious.”

LAS VEGAS (Haziran 10, 2021) – Four-time world champion Gervonta "Tank" Davis held a media workout in Las Vegas Wednesday as he approaches his showdown against WBA Super Lightweight Champion Mario "El Azteca" Barrios which headlines a SHOWTIME PPV Saturday, Haziran 26 from the award-winning State Farm Arena in Atlanta in a Premier Boxing Champions event.

Tickets for the live event at State Farm Arena, which is promoted by Mayweather Promotions, GTD Promotions and TGB Promotions, are on sale now and can be purchased at ticketmaster.com.

One of boxing’s biggest stars at just 26-years-old, Davis moves up to 140-pounds for the first time in his career as he aims to add super lightweight champion to his stellar resume. Zaferle, Davis will hold world championships in three different divisions simultaneously, a feat only accomplished by a few fighters in history, including Henry Armstrong and Canelo Alvarez.

Here is what Davis, along with trainer Calvin Ford, ve Mayweather Promosyonlar CEO Leonard Ellerbe, had to say Wednesday from the Mayweather Boxing Club:

GERVONTA DAVIS

“We can’t say who the bigger puncher is until we get in that ring and test his power. It doesn’t matter who is stronger, I want to be better than him across the board and in every aspect of the game.

“People who are here in the gym with me see a lot of things that I don’t need to bring out, even in my fights. Floyd is always telling me to box and use my skills, and don’t always look for the knockout. This camp we’ve actually been working on getting back to that and letting the knockout come.

"Benim için, greatness is just not going backwards. I just want to keep going forward no matter what. No matter who’s in front of me, I just have to go through them. Where I’m from, a lot of people don’t make it out, so I’m doing something right. It doesn’t even have to be an opponent, it can be something outside of the ring. I’m always chasing greatness.

“My thing is just beat whoever is put in front of me. When it’s time, we’ll see who the top guy is. O zamana kadar, I don’t need to speak on any other fighter than the one in front of me.

“Barrios and I have been through the amateurs together. He’s known what I’ve been doing. It’s crazy how life works out sometimes.

“I’m a team player, so whatever my team tells me has to be done to better myself, I’m all for it. That’s what’s made me so good. I don’t just stand out by myself. I have the best team in boxing.

“My last fight people complained that Leo Santa Cruz was too small, so I’m basically going out there and showing that a size difference doesn’t matter. I’m going to beat whoever they put in front of me. I’m trying to chase greatness.

“I’m definitely looking to walk down the bigger guy. He might feel like he can walk me down. I was definitely watching Floyd fight a much bigger guy in Logan Paul and taking a few pointers from it.

“I don’t know what Barrios will bring, but from my side, I’m bringing everything I’ve got. You know whenever I fight, I’m bringing something for the fans to enjoy.”

CALVIN FORD, Davis’ Trainer

“’Tank’s’ pay-per-view numbers opened up the doors for the rest of them. It’s because of ‘Tank’s’ social media. When people ask me why people gravitate towards himhe’s just like any kid that’s coming up from the inner cities. Look at basketball players – inner cities. Look at football players – inner cities. He’s showing them that if you put the right people around you and you put your mind to something, her şey mümkün.

“’Tank’, Devin Haney, Teofimo Lopez and Ryan Garcia will be the Four Kings if the fights happen. Gerçek tutalım. Right now, they’re doing the same thing that the Four Kings did at the beginning stage. All we have to do is sit back and let the minds that be, do their thing. It’s going to happen. All these fights that people want to see are going to happen.

“Have you noticed that ‘Tank’ don’t call anybody out? He never did. But if you put him in front of somebody, he’s going to show you. If you know ‘Tank’ from the amateurs, he’s going to show up in the ring. He’s like a baby Mike Tyson.

“The weight isn’t what I’m focused on, it’s actually the opponent. When I started studying the opponent, his coach and I go way back in the amateurs. When we see each other, we know each other. It’s about the minds. He knows his athlete and I know my athlete. O gece, it’s about the minds. It’s about who is going to hold fast to what they’re supposed to be doing. That’s the fight for me.

“I wouldn’t say this is the toughest test of ‘Tank’s’ career because nobody can show me the best of ‘Tank’ yet. I know the best of ‘Tank’. Ya’ll ain’t seen ‘Tank’.”

LEONARD Ellerbe, Mayweather Promosyonlar CEO'su

“From top to bottom this is one of those pay-per-view events that you don’t want to miss. Anytime you have the most exciting fighter in the sport, you know it’s going to be big. Don’t expect anything less on June 26.

“Coach Calvin Ford is a tremendous trainer who’s been with Gervonta since day one and they have a great game plan in place. I fully expect him to be able to execute. But Barrios is coming for him. He’s got a great trainer himself in Virgil Hunter and has made great progression with Virgil.

“We know this is going to be a tough fight, but Gervonta just has to figure it out from the opening bell. And I believe he’ll do that, but it will take some time. Barrios is looking to upset the apple cart.

“Gervonta is molding into his comfort zone. He’s becoming more comfortable with the media because he truly understands what he has in front of him. He knows that his ceiling is to be the biggest star in the sport. On the inside of the ring though, nothing has changed.

“The co-feature is a terrific bout with Erickson Lubin taking on Jeison Rosario. That’s going to be a very entertaining fight. A win for Lubin puts him one step closer to his ultimate goal. Lubin feels like he’s the best in the weight class and eventually right that wrong of his loss to Jermell Charlo. But he has a tough rugged fighter in front of him and that should be an exciting bout.

“Former unified champion Julian Williams is looking to bounce back against Brian Mendoza on the pay-per-view. Julian is obviously one of the top fighters in the division, and he’s looking to get back what he lost.

“In the opening bout the very tough Batyr Akhmedov is up against Argenis Mendez, who is always in go-mode. So it really shows you how highly entertaining this card is all the way through. I’m really excited to be back at State Farm Arena.”

İlk dünya şampiyonluğunu kazandıktan on dört yıl sonra, "Filipinli Flaş", Hall of Fame referanslarını sansasyonel bir dördüncü tur nakavt galibiyetiyle pekiştirdiKuzey OubaaliCumartesi gecesi, Carson'daki Dignity Health Sports Park'taki SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING ana etkinliğinde WBC World Bantamweight unvanını yakalamak için, Halife. Premier Boks Şampiyonları etkinliğinde.

"Kral geri döndü,” Donaire daha sonra ışınlandı. “Ben sadece kalabalığı seviyorum. Bütün arkadaşlarım, aile, gelen tüm boks hayranları çok teşekkür ederim. Sizler harikasınız.”

38 yaşındaki Donaire (41-6, 27 KOs) şimdi 118 kiloda şimdiye kadarki en yaşlı dünya şampiyonu. Oubaali'yi bırakırken kariyerinin kartviziti olan sol eliyle başardı. (17-1, 12 KOs) toplamda üç kez.

"Bu yaşta olmak mesele değil, bu benim performansımla ilgili,dedi Donaire. “Büyüme yeteneğim hakkında. yaşının ne olduğunun önemi yok bence, ama zihinsel olarak ne kadar güçlüsün. dan öğrendiklerim [Naoya] Inoue kavgası geri döndüm. Hala bu seviyede rekabet edebilirim. Bütün zaman boyunca savaşmadım, öğreniyordum. Bir sonrakine hazırım."

Bir ilk turun ardından, Donaire ikinci günde işe gitti., Oubaali'yi aşağı yürümek ve gümbürtüyle karşı koymak. Donaire ilk nakavtını üçüncü devrenin başlarında kaydetti., Oubaali'yi ticari marka sayacı sol kancasıyla düşürüyor. Fransız dengesiz ayaklar üzerinde yükseldi ve Donaire atladı, Oubaali, raund bitmeden bir iki saniye önce başka bir sol kroşeyle yere düşene kadar daha fazla büyük şut attı. Tekrar, Oubaali ayağa kalktı, sersemlemiş ama savaşmaya istekli.

Dördüncüde son hızla geldi. Donaire, Oubaali'yi ustalıkla ringin etrafında döndürdü, sol aparkatın Oubaali'yi üçüncü ve son kez tuvale buruşturmasına neden olduğu yerde onu iplere tutturmak. Hakem Jack Reiss hemen iptal etti. Durdurmanın resmi zamanı 1:52 dördüncü turdan.

“Üç yıldır dünya şampiyonu olmak. Dokuz kez dünya şampiyonu. bu harika,dedi Donaire. "Buraya geldim ve kendimi gerçekten iyi hissettim.. Bugün tam olarak ne olacağını biliyordum. tam olarak ne yapacağımı biliyordum. Sanırım spor salonunda çok odaklandım. ben çok, çok odaklanmış. Geldiğimde gerçekten iyi hissettim ve bu fırsatı elde ettiğim için minnettardım..

"Bu gece dünyaya geri döndüğümü ve her zamankinden daha güçlü olduğumu kanıtlamam gereken bir şeydi.. çok sert bir adamdı. sonunda benim için düşünüyorum, daha sabırlı olmalı mıyım diye bir seviye vardı? yoksa bunun için mi gitmeliyim? Inoue savaşında öğrendiğim bir şey öldürmeye gitmekti.. Ve tam olarak bunu yaptım. sabırlıydım, ama onu dışarı çıkarabilecek kadar incindiğini biliyordum.”

Eş özelliği de, Porto Riko enSubriel Matias (17-1, 17 KOs) başka bir güçlü delme ekranı sundu, daha önce yenilmeyen kırmaBatyr Jukembayev (18-1, 14 KOs) Jukembayev'in köşesi sekiz perçinleme turundan sonra maçı durdurana kadar.

"Bence herkesin beklediği şey bu. Herkes bunun büyük bir savaş olacağını biliyordu.,"dedi Matias. "Ben nakavt mı olacağım yoksa Jukembayev e mi nakavt olacak, bu nakavtla sona erecekti.. Onu nakavt edenin ben olduğum için mutluyum."

Matias, kendini kümelenmiş bir bölümde en iyilerden biri olarak kabul ediyor, ama bu son galibiyet kolay olmadı. Kazakistan Jukembayev güçlü çıktı, ilk önce Matias'ın dikkatini çeken güney pençe duruşundan yukarı doğru bir sağ kanca-sağ aparkat kombinasyonunu indirdi..

Jukembayev ikinci golü attı. Matias üçüncüde ellerini bırakmaya başladı., kafa ve vücuda kombinasyon halinde atma. Her iki savaşçı da artık tamamen ısınmıştı., “Yılın Turu” için aday olabilecek dördüncü tur için zemin hazırlıyor.


Sert bir sol kroşe Jukembayev'i sendeleyip tuvale sürüklediğinde başladı.. Matias gösteriyi kapatmaya çalıştı ama Jukembayev devam etti, kafasını temizledi ve kendi atışlarını yapmaya başladı. Kıtada bir dakika kala, Jukembayev, Matias'ı sol çaprazla şaşırttı. perçinlemek yerine, Matias ateşe ateşle karşılık verdi, zil çalana kadar ayak parmaklarına hareketle kalabalığı koltuklarından çıkarmak.

Matias asla öne çıkmayı bırakmadı. Tek taraflı altıncıyı takiben, Jukembayev iki gözü şişmiş bir şekilde köşesine döndü. Jukembayev, Matias'ı raundun sonuna doğru iki sağ kancayla vızıldadığında, yedinci sırada bir ileri bir geri gitti..

Matias sekizinci turda sürücü koltuğuna geri döndü, Jukembayev'e iki yumruğuyla vurmak. Toplamda, Jukembayev'i geride bıraktı 100 yumruklar (234/608 için 134 /409) ve daha doğruydu (38.5% için 32.8%). Darbelerin birikmesi Jukembayev'in köşesini maçın durdurulmasını talep etmeye ikna etmek için yeterliydi..

Kaybedecek bir şeyi olmadığını biliyordu.. O geldi ve her şeyi güçlü yapıyordu,"dedi Matias. "Yapabileceği tek şeyin kazanmak için beni nakavt etmek olduğunu biliyordu.. Ben de aynı şeyi yapardım. Bu bir savaşçının kalbi ve benim tüm saygım var.

“Bu dördüncü turdan sonra, Yani o çok rekabetçi bir dövüşçü, bu noktadan sonra savaşa dönüştü. ellerim de ona gidiyor. Bu büyük bir kavga oldu. Kesinlikle çok iyi olan başka rakiplerim oldu, ama bana en zor sınavı veren bu oldu.”

Telecast açıcıda, Gary Antuanne Russell (14-0, 14 KOs) süper hafif sıralarda yükselmeye devam etti. Yenilmez Russell, sağlamlığı durduran ilk kişi olduJovanie santiago (14-2-1, 10 KOs), Hakem Sharon Sands, Santiago'nun köşesinin önerisiyle altıncı raundun ardından müsabakayı durdurana kadar Santiago'ya hükmediyordu..

"Amaç, adamı mümkün olan en kısa sürede dışarı çıkarmak ve yara almadan çıkmak.,"Dedi Russell. "Sadece Santiago'nun A sınıfı bir rakip olduğunu söylemek istiyorum.. Birçok insan Adrien Broner'ı yendiğini düşünüyor. Adrien Broner'ı şimdi istiyorum."

Ağabeyi ve WBC Dünya Tüy Siklet Şampiyonu Gary Russell Jr ile. onun köşesinde çalışmak, Gary Antuanne aksiyonu açılış zilinden kontrol etti. The 2016 Olympian jab'ı çalıştı ve doğrudan güney pençe duruşunun arkasında kaldı, ilkinde Santiago'nun kafasını birkaç kez geriye doğru.

Russell, 24, ikinci ve üçüncü sırada sola inmeye devam etti. Dördüncünün başlarında, üst katta kısa bir sağ kancayla kaburgalara doğru düz bir sol takip etti ve bu da Santiago'yu dizine düşürdü. Porto Riko'nun Santiago'su cesurca ayağa kalktı ve takip eden saldırıdan kurtularak raundun dışında kaldı..

"Benim için önemli olan, teker teker yürütmektir., ve teker teker, giderek daha fazla yürütüyordum. Babam bana cesede gitmemi söyledi., sağ kroşe üst katta. O buna açıktı,"Dedi Russell.

Russell, profesyonel kariyerinde ilk kez dört turun ötesine geçmesine rağmen yavaşlama belirtisi göstermedi.. Başkent Tepeleri, Md. ürün altıncı sırada Santiago'yu dövdü, çerçeve boyunca iniş cezalandırma kombinasyonları. Dakikalar sonra, maç durduruldu.

"Performans yapmak benim için kesinlikle önemli, bu yüzden sadece Gary Russell'ın küçük erkek kardeşi olarak tanınmıyorum.,"Dedi Russell, kim indi 146 arasında 444 yumruklar (32.9%). “Mükemmel bir dövüşçü geçmişinden geliyorum. Bir hanedan inşa ediyoruz.

"Ne kadar çabuk ringe geri dönmek istiyorum?? Deontay Wilder kartında savaşabilseydim, bu harika olurdu."

"Her zaman sağlıklıyım ve herkesle rekabet edebilmemin nedeni kendimi sağlıklı tutmam ve çok çalışmam.. daha azı yok 100 o spor salonunda olduğum her zaman yüzde.

“Çok dik kafalıyım, bu yüzden her zaman insanların yapmamı söylediği şeyi yapmam. İnsanlar zamanlarının geldiğini söyleyebilir. Ama benim de zamanım var ve her zaman zamanını kabul eden ya da bu kararı veren ben olacağım.. hala benim zamanım.

"Harika bir dövüş olacak. Oubaali bir nedenden dolayı şampiyon. Amatörler açısından bunu yaşadı ve burada yapıyor. Yani hiçbirini hafife almıyoruz. Ama bu mekanda birçok kez dövüştüm ve her zaman ilk etapta büyülü dövüşler yaparım.. Benimle her zaman büyülü olacak. Ben bir tekboynuzum.

"Bu dövüşteki fark benim açlığım olacak.. Benden küçük ama açlığım var. İkimizin de bir amacı var ve bunu harika bir dövüş yapacak olan da bu..

"Orada en iyi dövüşmek istiyorum. Naoya Inoue ile rövanş maçı istiyorum ve tüm kemerleri almak istiyorum. Boksta başaramadığım tek şey tartışmasız şampiyon olmak. diğer her şeyi yaptım. Yılın Fighter. Yılın Nakavt. Çoklu şampiyonalar. Dört bölüm şampiyonu. Adını koy. asıl amacım bu. Kemeri al ve hepsini bir araya getir.

“Bantamweight benim gerçek kilom. Heyecandan dolayı hep ağır ligde savaştım., the challenge and the lucrative offer or the names at that time. Şimdi, I’m here where I belong and this is where I’m really strong.

“The layoff will not be a factor at all. The time off helped me out. Just being out of the ring helped my body recover. And the eagerness and the hunger is there more than ever. It was a blessing for me.”

SUBRIEL MATIAS

“I will be his toughest test without question and come Saturday night, everybody will find out why I’m saying that.

“I believe him when he says that he has the tools to get a stoppage on Saturday. But it’s not just a matter of saying, on Saturday night he has to prove it. If it’s going to come out of your mouth, then you have to prove it.

“İkimiz de nakavt sanatçılarız ve baktığımız şeyle, bu kavga bir kararla bitmemeli.

"Petros Ananyan'a karşı verilen mücadele hakkında söyleyecek pek bir şeyim yok.. kaybettiğimi görenler, kaybettim. bu konuda söyleyebileceğim bir şey yok. Ama boksu bilenler, ilerlediğimi ve geliştiğimi biliyorlar ve bunu cumartesi günü hepiniz göreceksiniz."

BATIR JUKEMBAYEV

“Harika bir eğitim kampı geçirdim. cumartesi gecesi için hazırım. Onun iyi bir dövüşçü olduğunu biliyorum ama söz veriyorum hazır olacağım.

"Cumartesi gecesi nakavtla bitip bitmeyeceğini göreceğiz.. Size neyden yapıldığımı göstereceğim ve hepiniz göreceksiniz."

GARY ANTUANNE RUSSELL

“Ben zarar işindeyim. O bir tembel. Eğer oraya gelip benimle takılmak isterse, gücümü hissedecek. Ne kadar zeki olduğumu görecek. Sadece zihinsel olarak değil, ama fiziksel olarak ellerimle. Dediğim gibi, zarar işindeyim. zarar vermeye geldim.

“İspanyolca eksikliğimi bağışlayın, ama ne göreceksin, ‘la violencia.’ Baskısını getirecek. Demetler halinde yumruklar getirecek ve getirebileceği tek şeyin bu olduğuna inanıyorum.. Antrenman yapıyorsa ve kendini benim dövüş tarzım için mükemmelleştirmeye çalışıyorsa, bu iyi. Buraya tek boyutlu gelmemelisin. Her taraftan bir elmas parlıyor.

“Söyleyebileceğim tek şey, bu mekanın kanın tanıtımını yapacağıdır., ter ve gözyaşı ve insanların büyük olma arzusu. I’m definitely one of them. I’ve been in the gym giving my blood, my sweat and my tears and I’m bringing all of that to this venue come Saturday night.

“I definitely want to stay more active. That’s always been my plan. The pandemic slowed things down. Fans always tell me they want to see me get back in there…I just tell them, me too. The fighters aren’t the ones pulling all of the strings. Should I be more active? Elbette. I want to be more active.

“I want to show that I’m the cream of the crop. I’m a superstar. The light hasn’t been shining on me because there’s a lot of other things going on. O zamana kadar, you’re going to have to wait and see. Come Saturday, it will be a great show. There will be some sparks and fireworks. Yatmak istemeyen bir rakibim var. O istekli değilse, Onu yatırmalıyım."

JOVANIE SANTIAGO

"Onun iyi bir dövüşçü olduğunu biliyorum.. bir olimpiyatçı. O genç ve savaşmaya gelecek. ben de savaşmaya geleceğim, yani dövüş erken biterse, o zaman erken biter.

"Yalnızca teker teker çalışmak zorundayım, yumruk atmak ve her seferinde bir tur kazanmak. Russell'ı yendikten sonra, herkes benim tarafımda olacak.

"Bu benim ağırlığım. En rahat olduğum yer burası. Ben her zaman 140 librelik oldum ve Cumartesi göstereceğim şey bu..

"Bu zaman, Gerçek kilomda savaşıyorum. Ben güçlü hissediyorum. Her gün çalışmaya geliyorum ve Cumartesi günü herkes neyle ilgili olduğumu görecek."

ATLANTA (Mayıs 20, 2021) – Four-time world champion Gervonta "Tank" Davis and undefeated WBA Super Lightweight Champion Mario "El Azteca" Barrios went face-to-face Thursday at a press conference to preview their SHOWTIME PPV main event taking place Saturday, Haziran 26 at the award-winning State Farm Arena in Atlanta in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

One of boxing’s biggest stars at just 26-years-old, Davis will take on a career-defining challenge in the undefeated Barrios, as he sets his sights on capturing a title in a third weight class. Zaferle, Davis will hold world championships in three different divisions simultaneously, a feat only accomplished by a few fighters in history. Standing in his way is the undefeated 26-year-old Barrios, who owns a 9-0 record with eight knockouts during his 140-pound reign and holds a six-inch height advantage over Davis.

Davis returns to fight at State Farm Arena after selling out the venue in December 2019 during a star-studded event that saw him stop former champion Yuriorkis Gamboa in the 12thand final round to capture a lightweight title.

Tickets for the live event at State Farm Arena, which is promoted by Mayweather Promotions, GTD Promotions and TGB Promotions, go on sale tomorrow, Cuma, Mayıs 21 at 10 a.m. VE, ve şu adresten satın alınabilir: ticketmaster.com.

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday at State Farm Arena:

GERVONTA DAVIS

“Camp has been great for me. We know that Barrios is a bigger guy and that he can punch. We’re working hard each day in the gym, because we’re going up against a big task on June 26.

“We all have challenges we go through in life, and that’s what makes us strong. This is another challenge that I have on my road to success. I’m ready to walk through it and keep pushing.

“We know this is a dangerous fight. Barrios is coming with power and you know for sure I’m coming with power. Iyi adam kazansın.

“I took this fight because I want to be great. All the other big names at lightweight had scheduled fights so I felt like I wanted to go out and beat the best fighter out there for me.

“Even if he is bigger than me on fight night, farketmez. This is all part of the sport. My goal is to break him down. If I can get him out of there, I’ll get him out of there. If it goes 12 mermi, öyle olsun. He’s big and strong, but he’s never faced anyone like me.

“We have to wait and see what happens on fight night. Different styles dictate what I need to show in the fight. We’ll see what he brings to the table, and then we’ll capitalize off of it.

“I’m not worried about losing any speed by adding weight. I’m going to be quick regardless. I think I’m going to be at my best at 140-pounds.

“Like all of the rest of my fights, this is going to be action packed. Don’t go get popcorn during the fight, because it could end at any moment. I bring what boxing needs, and that’s excitement. We all know when I fight, it’s never a boring fight. İlk turda itibaren, until whenever it ends, I just keep coming, in all of my fights. That’s what you’re going to see June 26.”

MARIO BARRIOS

“This is a huge opportunity for me. ‘Tank’ called me out. I know he’s trying to do something great, but this is a dangerous fight for him. It’s going to be an action-packed fight. We’ve never faced fighters like each other before. We’re going to see on June 26 if it’s the right move for him.

“I fight to represent my city and my people. I’m going to go out there and do my best to make everybody proud.

“They might be looking at my fight against Batyr Akhmedov closely. But I think he has a totally different style and that this fight will be different than what they expect if they just watch that match. I don’t know what they see in me to want this fight, but none of it matters to me. All the questions are going to be answered on June 26.

“’Tank’ is jumping up two weight classes. He’s doing something a lot of great fighters have done. He even said it: this isn’t an easy fight for him. We’re ready to face the best version of ‘Tank’ that anyone has ever seen and it’s going to be war.

“I was surprised when his name was brought up to me. But whether you like ‘Tank’ or not, he has one of the biggest names in boxing. This is the type of fight that can skyrocket my name up there to the top level of the sport.

“’Tank’ is a good fighter and a very explosive fighter. There is the question of whether he’s bringing his power up to 140. I don’t have any concerns about it though. He’s the guy who has to show people he can handle my power at this weight.

“I’m excited to be fighting in Atlanta. This is my first time here actually but I know the fans here are very passionate. I’m expecting to see a great turnout here at State Farm Arena.”

LEONARD Ellerbe, Mayweather Promosyonlar CEO'su

“’Tank’ is a generational fighter. He has certain abilities that others just don’t. He’s special, but this is a dangerous fight for him. This is a tremendous challenge and I’m really excited for this fight.

“Atlanta is a hot market. Obviously the first fight they had in a long time was ‘Tank’ vs. Yuriorkis Gamboa and it was a packed sold out crowd in this building. The fans really enjoyed it. The city needs big events like this. We told the fans we were coming back and here we are.

“’Tank’ is chasing history. When you look back at a lot of all-time greats, they’ve gone through things no one else ever has. Looking to be a three-division champion at 26 years old is another example of him chasing greatness like that.

“’Tank’ is the most exciting fighter in the entire sport and he gives the fans what they want to see. He puts butts in seats. People gravitate to the way he fights. This new generation of fans that we have, they love him.”

Born in the Dominican Republic and now fighting out of Miami, Rosario rode an eight-fight unbeaten streak into the showdown with Williams, including victories over 154-pound contenders Jamontay Clark, Justin DeLoach, Jorge Cota and Marcos Hernandez. Coming into the Charlo matchup, Rosario had established his power by earning a stoppage victory or scoring a knockdown in seven of his previous nine contests.

“I make no excuses for losing the fight to Charlo, but that was then, and this is now,"Rosario dedi. “I have turned to a new page in my career with my new trainer Herman Caicedo. I will not lose again, especially in this fight against Lubin. He’s a great contender, and I respect his abilities, but I will knock him out on June 26.”

Philadelphia’s Williams (27-2-1, 16 KOs) became a unified world champion at 154-pounds in May 2019 when he upset Jarrett Hurd in one of the year’s best fights, winning a close-quarters brawl by unanimous decision. The 31-year-old dropped the titles in his first defense, losing to Jeison Rosario in January 2020. Williams had been riding a five-fight winning streak going into the Rosario matchup, in which he added victories over former champion Ishe Smith and hard-hitting contender Nathaniel Gallimore to his ledger.

But on June 26, it’s going to be all business. I just need to come out on top. He doesn’t have anything that I haven’t seen before. I know he’ll be ready because this is like the Super Bowl for him. So I know he’ll be ready, but I’ll be ready too. If I’m able to get the win, then it’s on to bigger and better opportunities. But I’m definitely not looking past Brian because I know how seriously he’s taking this fight.”

Mendoza (19-1, 13 KOs) earned a career best-victory in his last outing, beating veteran contender Thomas LaManna by unanimous decision in August 2020. The 27-year-old has fought professionally since 2014, with his only defeat coming by a narrow split-decision in November 2019 against Larry Gomez.

En son olarak, Akhmedov blasted out Ray Perez in the first round of their September 2020 clash.

“I can’t wait to get back in the ring for a big fight on June 26,” said Akhmedov. “I’ve been training hard to get another shot at the title. I know that if I make a big statement and defeat a former world champion in Mendez, I expect my next fight will be for the title. I’m always in exciting fights that fans love, and this matchup is going to be no different.”

A former super featherweight champion, Mendez (25-6-3, 12 KOs) has a reputation for providing stiff challenges to the sport’s best and has proven to be a durable contender at 140-pounds, including his most recent outing that saw him drop a split-decision to Richardson Hitchins last December.

He has also gone toe-to-toe with former champions Rances Barthelemy and Robert Easter Jr.

“I am ready for anything Akhmedov brings and then a world title fight after,” said Mendez. “I believe that I beat Hitchins in my last fight, even though I was coming off a long layoff. I’m in great shape right now. Akhmedov is a hard puncher, but the fans are going to see me shine against him. There is a lot left in my tank and that will be obvious to everyone on June 26.”
