LAS VEGAS (Avril 29, 2017) – Champion poids plume par intérim WBA nouvellement couronné Claudio Marrero (22-1, 16 KOs) choqué auparavant invaincu Carlos Zambrano (26-1, 12 KOs) avec un KO au premier tour dans l'événement principal de Premier Champions de boxe sur FS1 et Fox Deportes, Samedi nuit de Sam's Town Live à Las Vegas.
“Il y a tellement d'émotions qui me traversent la tête en ce moment, que je ne peux toujours pas comprendre ce que ça fait d'être un champion maintenant,” dit Marrero. “Je ne le laisserai pas me distraire, parce que je combattrai celui qui est le meilleur dans ma catégorie de poids. Je savais quel genre de combattant j'allais affronter et je savais ce qu'il fallait faire. j'avais faim”
Le combat s'est terminé brusquement comme Marrero de Saint-Domingue, La République dominicaine a lancé une main gauche droite solide comme un roc qui a envoyé Lima, Le Zambrano du Pérou sur la toile, le rendant incapable de se tenir debout et l'arbitre Vic Drakulich a annulé le combat à 1:30 du seul et unique tour. Marrero prolonge une séquence de sept victoires consécutives.
“Après avoir été inactif pendant un an, bien sûr mon timing était un peu décalé je ne suis pas du tout content de ma performance,” dit Zambrano. “C'est un combat qui était attendu depuis longtemps et je sais que Marrero me lorgne depuis un moment, donc c'est juste malheureux la façon dont les choses se sont terminées.
“Je dois revenir aux États-Unis et trouver des partenaires d'entraînement qui peuvent vraiment m'aider à atteindre le niveau que je veux être,” suite Zambrano. “Pour que mon record soit battu à ce stade, c'est vraiment décevant, je n'ai pas d'autres mots pour le décrire.”
Le co-événement principal de la télédiffusion FS1 et FOX Deportes s'est terminé par un TKO au sixième tour par un poids moyen affamé Nathaniel Gallimore (18-1-1, 15 KOs) de Kingston, Jamaïque à propos Jeison Rosario (12-1, 9 KOs) de Saint-Domingue, République dominicaine. Les deux combattants se sont balancés au premier tour, Rosario l'emportant sur les trois tableaux de bord des juges. Chapelet, qui n'avait jamais dépassé le quatrième tour a commencé à ralentir au cinquième lorsque Gallimore a pris le relais.
“Je suis entré dans le combat confiant, puis à un moment donné, quelque chose s'est passé, mon corps a commencé à ralentir,” dit Rosario. “Je me suis un peu fatigué et j'ai commencé à me battre un peu bâclé. Mon plan est de revenir en arrière et de commencer à travailler régulièrement sur mon jab, c'était ma faiblesse pendant tout le combat.”
Gallimore est sorti du coin au sixième tour déterminé à mettre fin au combat et a réussi. Il a laissé tomber Rosario, mais le dominicain se leva, seulement pour être lâché par une coupe supérieure dure. À la fin, c'est un crochet du gauche qui a envoyé Rosario sur la toile pour la troisième et dernière fois alors que l'arbitre Jay Nady a annulé le combat à 2:15 du sixième tour.
“Il se battait vraiment sale tout le combat, Je pense qu'il savait qu'il avait été blessé dès le début,” dit Gallimore. “Je savais que j'avais beaucoup plus d'expérience alors j'ai juste commencé à le décomposer tour par tour et c'est ce qui m'a valu la victoire. C'était la première fois qu'il faisait autant de tours, donc je pense que ça l'a vraiment atteint au point où il essayait juste de tenir les derniers tours. Je suis venu le finir et c'est ce que j'ai fait.”
Dans l'événement principal de la télédiffusion FS2 et FOX Deportes, perspective super légère Ladarius Miller (13-1, 4 KOs) faire une performance impressionnante avant de s'arrêter Jésus gutierrez (14-2-1, 4 KOs) dans le huitième et dernier tour de leur affrontement.
“je suis super content de ma prestation,” dit Miller. “C'est le meilleur Ladarius Miller que j'ai montré. Je le connaissais en tant que combattant donc je savais ce que je devais faire sur le ring. Je pensais l'avoir eu au premier tour avec l'uppercut, mais il était en bien meilleure forme que je ne le pensais. Il a pris les coups mais à la fin je savais que je finirais en tête avec la victoire. Je suis juste prêt à remonter sur le ring et à regarder vers mon prochain défi.”
Miller a éliminé Gutierrez avec une combinaison de mouvements et de mains gauches principales pour prendre le contrôle de la première partie du combat. Gutierrez a tenté de réduire la distance entre lui et Miller, mais a été incapable de rassembler suffisamment d'attaques pour ralentir son adversaire.
“Ce était un grand combat, Je pense que nous avons donné aux fans ce qu'ils voulaient voir,” dit Gutierrez. “Je n'ai que du respect pour Ladarius, Il est sorti ce soir et a montré de quoi il était fait. J'ai maintenu la pression et j'ai pensé que ce serait suffisant pour l'avoir.”
Plusieurs rafales de va-et-vient ont défini les deux derniers tours du combat avant que Miller ne puisse finalement utiliser une grosse main droite pour frapper Gutierrez et forcer l'arbitre Russell Mora à arrêter le combat à 2:34 au huitième tour.
Le combat d'ouverture sur FS2 et FOX Deportes a vu l'ancien champion du monde Layla McCarter(39-13-5, 10 KOs) dominer et finalement arrêter Szilvia Szabados (15-10, 6 KOs) au septième tour de leur combat des poids welters.
“J'ai vu au début du combat une opportunité, aller pour le corps et c'est ce que j'ai fait,” dit McCarter. “Elle a subi beaucoup de dégâts et était une adversaire coriace. J'ai senti que j'aurais pu le rendre beaucoup plus difficile, J'ai eu un si bon camp d'entraînement que j'aurais aimé pouvoir livrer le Layla que je sais pouvoir apporter.”
Szabados est sorti agressif dès le début, mais le concurrent vétéran McCarter l'a enlevée avec des coups de poing tout au long des premiers tours avant que Szabados ne commence à s'user et à devenir frustré.
“Elle était une grande adversaire pour moi, il y a certainement beaucoup plus de choses sur lesquelles je dois rentrer à la maison et travailler,” dit Szabados. “Global, elle est venue pour gagner et elle l'a montré. J'ai apporté beaucoup de ténacité, mais à la fin elle est arrivée en tête.”
L'arbitre Tony Weeks a déduit un point de Szabados pour des coups à l'arrière de la tête au début du septième tour avant qu'une dernière rafale de McCarter n'oblige l'arbitre à arrêter le combat 56 secondes dans la ronde.

BROOKLYN (Avril 23, 2017) - Shawn Porter scored a ninth round stoppage of Autres Berto to become the WBC’s mandatory challenger to unified welterweight champion Keith Thurman in the main event of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING, présenté par Premier Boxing Champions, Samedi night on SHOWTIME from Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

VIDEO: http://s.sho.com/2pS68zi

 

With the convincing victory, Porter potentially earns a rematch with Thurman, who he narrowly lost to last June in a 2016 Fight of the Year candidate at Barclays Center, la maison de BROOKLYN BOXE ™.

 

The welterweight matchup was a rough and tumble affair from the opening bell. Porter (27-2-1, 17 KOs) barreled forward to smother the offense of Berto (31-5, 24 KOs), pounding Berto’s body at close range. A deep gash opened over Porter’s left eye from an accidental headbutt in the second, and another opened over his right eye just two rounds later. Porter’s constant aggressiveness and effective body work seemed to frustrate Berto, who struggled to stay off the ropes.

 

An odd series of events unfolded in the opening minute of the ninth round. With Berto unsteady on his feet following another clash of heads, Porter pounced and floored the former champ with a left hook for his second knockdown of the fight. Berto got up, but Porter continued to connect with Berto against the ropes and referee Mark Nelson waved off the contest at 1:31. Au moment de l'arrêt, Porter had out-landed Berto 60-12 over the final two rounds.

 

“I have to clean up those head butts,” Porter said. “We tried to use the whole ring, but sometimes in the heat of the battle stuff happens. I’m a fighter and Mr. Berto is a fighter as well, those head butts were just the two of us going in and fighting.

 

“I thought I fought smart ce soir. I thought I picked my punches well. There were times where I smothered my shots, but there were also times where I smothered him. He has a dangerous uppercut but we had a great game plan. This was a just very hard fought battle by both of us and I’m blessed to get the victory.”

 

Après le combat, Berto admitted that Porter’s aggressiveness and the accidental headbutts frustrated him.

 

“I have to give him credit, but he’s a rough fighter,” Berto said. “He has great skills but, en même temps, he was trying to be rough and trying to handle me anyway he could. I got a lot of headbutts, and he did too. Shawn’ is a tough competitor. We had a good competitive fight until the headbutts got to be a little too much for me. But I thought it was a really good fight before that.”

 

Après le combat, SHOWTIME Sports reporter Jim Gray asked Thurman, who was ringside for the eliminator, if he would grant Porter a rematch.

 

“His team was adamant about the rematch and now he’s fought his way to earning that,” Thurman said. “We just need to sit down and talk about. Il a faim, you see the way he fights, it could be a great fight again.”

 

Answered Porter: “I was just up here wishing he said yes – that’s the fight I want next.”

 

Jermell Charlo defended his WBC Super Welterweight World Championship in dominant fashion with a devastating sixth-round knockout of mandatory challenger Charles Hatley in the co-main event of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING.

 

Charlo (29-0, 14 KOs) landed the crisper shots from the opening bell, using a sharp left jab to set up a remarkably efficient straight right. The Houston native Charlo, the younger twin of undefeated former 154-pound champion Jermall, floored Hatley (26-2-1, 18 KOs) midway through the third with a textbook left-right combo that stunned his fellow Texan.

 

Charlo’s striking precision continued in fourth and fifth, before an onslaught of punches and a perfectly timed right to the chin sent Hatley falling face-forward to the canvas. Referee Harvey Dock didn’t hesitate and instantly waved off the fight at :36 with Hatley out cold on the canvas.

 

The accuracy of Charlo’s jab was telling – he landed his jab at a 31 percent clip to set up his power shots, which connected at an impressive 52 pour cent. Global, Charlo landed 42 percent of his total punches over nearly six full rounds of prizefighting.

 

“I used that jab to set up the right hand,” Charlo said. “I knew Charles Hatley goes down and he gets back up – he’s a warrior – and I knew I had to get in there and be a lion.

 

“Hatley was moving around a lot. He was trying to engage and I tried to tell him to come fight. When he finally got in there, that’s when I got him out. I’m the champ so I have to continue to fight my mandatory. They got a guy named Jarret Hurd that took my brother’s title – we could unify.”

 

Amanda Serrano became the first women and the first Puerto Rican to win world titles in five weight divisions with an eighth-round TKO of Dahiana Santana to capture the vacant WBO Women’s Bantamweight World Championship in the featured bout of SHOWTIME BOXING on SHO EXTREME.

 

Serrano (32-1-1, 24 KOs) was the aggressor from the opening bell, moving forward and attacking with precision as Santana (35-9, 14 KOs) backed up and ate a steady diet of counter shots. Santana was deducted a point for clinching in the fourth, and had visible welts above both eyes following the seventh.

 

Serrano was connecting at an almost 3-1 power punch ratio when referee Benjy Esteves stepped-in to stop the bout at 1:14 de la huitième manche.

 

“It means everything to me. We worked so hard. We worked hard for this moment,” Serrano said. “To be a five division world champion is amazing. To be the first female and first Puerto Rican is amazing.

 

“I’m so proud to be a Puerto Rican. I’m so proud to be a SHOWTIME fighter. I’m just so happy for this moment. Just to be a five-division world champion, I could retire today and it’d be the happiest moment of my life. I’m just getting started. I hope I’m back again.”

 

In the opening bout of SHOWTIME BOXING on SHO EXTREME, Image de balise Jose Miguel Borrego (12-0, 11 KOs) knocked out a game John Delperdang (10-3, 9 KOs) à 2:07 of the seventh in a scheduled eight-round welterweight contest.

Here is what Barrios had to say from training camp:
On fighting in his first main event on FS1:
“Fighting in the main event on FS1, à la télévision nationale, is going to be an incredible blessing. I know it’ll be a tremendous boost to my career. I want to set the pace from the opening bell, and give the fans a night to remember. These are the type of fights I’ve always dreamed of.”
On his recent training camp with Virgil Hunter in the Bay Area:
“Training with Virgil Hunter has been great. This will be my third fight with him as the lead in my corner. We are working tremendously well as a team and I’m happy where my career is at. We got a lot of good sparring in, with a lot of different looks. I feel my punches are sharp and my timing is on point. I’m going to shine in this fight.”
On his matchup with Nelson Lara…
“I really don’t know much about Nelson Lara, except for the fact that he’s coming off a couple of wins. I’m sure his confidence is high, so I’m expecting a tough fight. Aussi, I know he’s fought at lightweight or super-lightweight for most of his career, so he’s got more experience fighting at this weight. One thing for sure is…I’ll be ready for anything he brings to the ring.”
On moving up two weight classes…
“It’s hard to believe, but I started off my career at super-bantamweight while standing six feet plus. It was getting to make those smaller weights. I was killing myself to make super featherweight, so my team and I felt it was best to skip lightweight, and move to super-lightweight. It’s a big jump, but I feel real strong at this weight. This is where I want to make my run toward a world title, at super lightweight. You’ll see a stronger Mario Barrios.”
On fighting in Mississippi…
“I actually fought out here early in my career but at a different venue. The fans are great and they get loud. A lively crowd is always fun to fight in front of. I plan on giving the Mississippi fans a great night of boxing.”

It’s a great opportunity to get the rematch and be a world champion. The last fight against Chad Dawson gave me experience because it was very technical. But really all the fights since then – Julio Chavez, Jr., Nathan Cleverly and even Joe Smith – have helped me prepare for Stevenson again. I changed my team, got a new coach and a trainer, which makes me physically and mentally where I need to be for this fight. I don’t have a problem fighting in Montreal. I love Montreal. It’s a beautiful city with beautiful people. It will be a great night of boxing and I’m sure that I will be victorious on the night of Juin 3.”

We have two fights that could be main events anywhere in the world and on any network. Adonis will defend his title for the eighth time. To be a world champion for four years is exceptional. Fonfara has a style that can give Adonis some problems.’
“In the co-main event we have a former world champion in Pascal who still believes he can be world champion. He will have a tough assignment with Alvarez, a fighter who just proved he belongs with the best in the world with his win over Lucian Bute. If he beats Pascal he will have beaten two of the best stars that Canada has ever produced in back-to-back fights. He will prove to be a threat to anyone in the future.”
“We’re really looking forward to taking on Stevenson at the Bell Centre in Montreal on SHOWTIME,” Leon Margules dit, Président de Warriors Boxing, Fonfara’s promoter. “Andrzej was just 26-years-old when they fought last time and it was a big step up for him.

André Berto vs. Faits saillants de la conférence téléphonique de presse de Shawn Porter

Laisser un commentaire
Lou DiBella
We’re going to start with “Afficher L'Heure” Shawn Porter, out of Las Vegas right now. Ancien champion du monde IBF. Everyone knows he’s trained by his dad, Ken, and he was a tremendous amateur. He has been a tremendous pro. And I know he’s ready for this important matchup on April 22nd. Shawn?
Shawn Porter
Quoi de neuf, tout le monde? Oui, we’re just at the latter part of camp now, winding down, and we’re still working out hard, and everything is coming together just the way we want it. Si, à ce stade, the excitement is building up and I can’t wait to get out there and see everybody, and be a part of what’s going on with this fight.
L. DiBella
Have you done anything special to prepare for Berto? Je veux dire, anything different in terms of sparring partners or anything in your usual routine?
S. Porter
I personally have been going 15 rounds up at an altitude of about 8,500 feet yesterday. I think that’s pretty special. We sparred 10 rounds with three different guys, and we pushed ourselves a few more rounds in the ring, and then also sprint some on the road as well. Si, we’re working hard. We swim every chance we have and try to work every chance. We have an oxygen chamber in our training facility for our performance center.
Si, everything we’re doing is just always to try to do it bigger and better each fight.
L. DiBella
Andre can you tell us a little bit about your training camp and how you feel about the fight as fight week is less than a week away.
Autres Berto
Training camp has been tremendous. We’ve stepped everything up this camp. Tremendous sparring. I just can’t say enough about how this camp went. Je suis en grande forme. I’m focused. We have been pushing ourselves to the limit each and every day. I’m more than excited coming into this fight. I’m ready to get it.
Stephen Espinoza
We are thrilled to be back at Barclays Center and thrilled to be working with DiBella once again. At SHOWTIME, our spring schedule is starting to take shape. Cette April 22nd event is the start of a very aggressive lineup of fights over an eight-week span. There’s more to come on that in the very near future.
In terms of our televised fights, we’ve got compelling matchups that provide a little bit of everything for all sorts of boxing fans.
This main event is part of a series of ongoing welterweight fights that will determine – possibly by the end of the year, maybe early next year – who is the top dog, pour ainsi dire, in boxing’s glamour division.
We’ve had a series of phenomenal welterweight fights, including Shawn’s fight last summer on CBS.
Both Andre Berto and Shawn Porter, really gained national exposure early in their careers on SHOWTIME via ShoBox – no surprise there. Andre was on ShoBox en 2006; Shawn Porter in 2009. And they have progressed in very significant stages of their career on SHOWTIME – Andre four times on SHOWTIME, and Shawn five times on SHOWTIME and once on CBS.
These are two guys that everybody knows. They’re likeable, charismatic, and articulate. They’re guys who respect the sport and represent it well. Perhaps more importantly, they are all action fighters, and there’s no way that this fight is going to disappoint. Si, de haut en bas, a lot to offer on this April 22nd carte, et nous avons très hâte d'y être.
Q
Do you think that a victory against Shawn would represent maybe the best win of your career?
Un. Berto
Oui. I believe so. Looking down at my career, I’ve gone through a lot of physical things and now just coming back from that and just being healthy and a lot stronger, I’m a lot more focused.
Everything is just starting to show like it needs to be, and I believe that this fight right here definitely could be one of the biggest ones in my career, Bien sûr.
I fought a lot of great guys coming up. I’ve fought with Steve Forbes, I’ve fought David Estrada and all those guys, they were big names at their time.
The most satisfying one for me right now, was my last one against Victor Ortiz just because there was so much emotion that went into that fight. So much of a storyline that went into that fight and how much it meant to me.
Emotionally all around the board, I think probably there’s no more satisfying win right now at this point. I fought Carlos Quintana, Steve Forbes, and all these guys that were very great fighters of their time, and they were at the top of their division at their time.
Q
Do you think a win against Shawn would surpass that as the most satisfying because you’re a little older, you’ve been off a while and it’s going to put you back into position to fight another world title if you win?
Un. Berto
I’m not sure, une. Comme je le disais, that last fight just had a lot connected to it. And a lot connected to it. This fight here is a big fight as well. Every fight right now at this point in my career is a big fight and a very big, defining fight. Si, I’m just taking each of them, and one step at a time, and just preparing like I need to. I need to just get through them one at a time.
Q
Shawn were you surprised that coming off of a loss that you were able to get a fight that would be a title eliminator to be in a position right back in a world title fight?
S. Porter
Vous savez quoi? Honnêtement, that’s kind of the business side that I don’t really think about as much. I didn’t think about how many fights it would take for me to get back to a championship fight.
After that fight, my team went back to the drawing board figuring out what fight we can take to position ourselves to either get a rematch with Thurman or get another title, and that was it. That was how this fight with Andre Berto came to be.
This was the guy that I was told will be the one to position me to get back to a World Championship fight, et alors, boom, we’re at the press conference announcing the fight, and they tell us that it’s for an eliminator.
I couldn’t have been more surprised. I don’t think there was anything in my life that I’ve ever been more pleased with or surprised other than that.
When DiBella came up and said it would be for a title eliminator for the WBC title, Je veux dire, my heart just – it just glowed with happiness. Si, Je suis impatient de ce combat. I been looking forward to this moment for a long time and I hope to just win.
We agreed to the fight with the understanding that, this will lead to something better, but again I didn’t know how long it would be. And then the man comes on the stage and says it’s for an eliminator, and I’m like, sensationnel.
Q
If you could wave the magic wand, which guy of Thurman and Brook would you rather have a rematch against, et pourquoi?
S. Porter
Thurman. I think he’s the better fighter. I think finally being able to beat him, I think would be something on my resume, in my legacy, that would be remembered for a very long time. Il est un très bon combattant; a very good defender of his belt/belts, and I’m looking forward to fighting him in a rematch.
Q
Shawn, I saw some comments you made recently discussing Berto’s fight against Mayweather and how you seemed to suggest that you were going to follow Floyd’s blueprint for his boxing Berto, and staying on the outside, and you seemed to kind of say that you were going to follow the same strategy. Is that true?
S. Porter
Bien, regarder la lutte, I definitely admired, as any fight that Floyd Mayweather’s in, his boxing ability, but that was something that was very effective against Andre Berto. Si, we’ll definitely pick our spots where we want to box; where we want to use the ring. But at any rate, through the entire fight, we will control the action as well as the ring.
Q
Do you plan on showcasing more of your boxing ability in this fight against Berto?
S. Porter
Bien, it depends on the fight. Like you just said, my boxing ability may be a little underrated. Je dirais, there are moments in the ring, sometimes you make it more of boxing, sometimes you make it more of the pressure and the aggression.
Si, we’ll build this fight accordingly. We’ll take a look at what’s going on. We’ll make our adjustments during the fight in the corner as well, and we’ll see. You might see more boxing; you might see more pressure. On verra comment ça se passe.
Q
You mentioned before that you felt that Keith Thurman was a better fighter than Kell Brook. Can you just explain why you feel that way?
S. Porter
I just think overall. His boxing ability, anneau IQ, vitesse, quickness, puissance, tout. My personal opinion is it could be a biased opinion, but I feel like Keith Thurman is the better boxer/fighter than Kell Brook.
Q
Autre, what do you think about Shawn saying that he might use Floyd Mayweather’s template against you in your fight? What’s your reaction to hearing that?
Un. Berto
That’s fine. Je veux dire, that’s his business. He can us any game plan however he wants to. Whichever way he wants to maneuver, whatever the situation is, that’s on him.
We’re just preparing for every look. We’re just preparing for every look. What we need to prepare whether he’s boxing brawling.
We’re focused on what we need to do. We don’t really focus on the way he’s trying to beat us. We’re trying to make sure that we’re going to be all right, and we’re going to be focused.
Shawn, he’s shown in the past he can brawl. He can press the guys out. He might try to use something new in this fight. I’m not sure. I’m just focusing on what I got to do. Comme je le disais, we’re in tremendous shape all around the board. Nous pouvons boîte; we can bang; we can do whatever we want to do as well. So it doesn’t matter. We’re going to see what it is. We’re getting a start on that.
Q
Shawn do you think Andre can handle your pace?
S. Porter
That’s my mindset, my team says every time we get in the ring is that our opponent won’t be able to keep up with the pace that I perform at. I do everything that I can, leading up to the fight, to be ready for a fight like that.
I never go into the ring with the thought that I’m going to throw 60, 70, 80, 90, 100 poinçons une ronde. It’s just kind of how the fight flows and how it goes. Si, ben oui, I’m always prepared to fight at the faster pace – I think at a faster rate than most of the guys that I box.
I think that there is going to be an advantage for myself getting in the ring with Andre Berto, I think that I’ll be able to dictate the pace, and push his heart, and make him work harder.
The skills as well as the power should make this a very good fight. This is why this fight is very anticipated, because you know what I can do and what Andre can do.
But I think I’ve shown out there that there’s nothing that you can doubt when I’m getting into the ring, it’s down to I’m going to perform the way I’ve always performed and the fight will take care of itself.
Q
Besides Mayweather, do you think you’re the most superior opponent that he’s faced, et si oui, why?
S. Porter
Oui, ben oui, ben oui. I would say I am. He’s fought some very good boxers. Some punchers and guys that were aggressive. Some counterpunchers. He’s fought them all. I think the thing that separates me from those guys is that I can do all of it. Very rarely do you have that in another fighter than can do it all in the ring.
Q
Autre, what are your thoughts on what Shawn brings to the ring, and do you agree that with him, that maybe besides Mayweather, that he’s your most difficult opponent?
Un. Berto
I can’t really say until I get in there with him. Comme je le disais, I been there with a lot of guys, and I’ve been with a lot of different type of guys from my first 12 ou 13 combats.
I’ve been in there with a few world champions. I have to go in there and see. Mayweather, Comme j'ai dit, you’re bringing up Mayweather. Mayweather is Mayweather.
He’s going to go in there and move around, boîte, he’s going to play, real slippery. I believe that he is definitely one-of-a-kind and showed it throughout the years.
When it comes to Shawn, he does a lot of things wrong and he does a lot of things right. So I can’t say that Shawn’s going to be my most difficult fight, because I haven’t been in there with him yet. We’ll say that he is definitely a great fighter.
Q
Do you feel that at the time of some of your earlier wins, that you were getting credit, and do you think that you have ever really gotten credit for being a better fighter?
Un. Berto
Everybody knows the boxing game, you’re as good as our last performance. Just as they can raise you up high in the next great thing, going through defeat or going through some tough times, they’ll write you off quick.
They’ll write you off quick in this game. And that’s just how the game goes. I can’t sit there and just be upset at it. I knew what I was getting into.
With all of the buzz surrounding me, coming into the pro game, and me being a world champion myself, I can give myself accolades, but if things don’t go your way, they’ll definitely discredit you.
You have to see it for what it’s worth, une, and end-of-the-day, just know who you are. You can’t let this fight game ultimately define you.
It won’t give you the credit that you feel that you deserve at the end of the day, and that’s what, and I believe. Them retiring. I don’t know too many fighters that have retired satisfied.
They’re satisfied with this fight game, or satisfied with the notoriety of things they’ve got, from the writers, from the critics or the fans. I don’t know too many at all. You just got to go in there and do what you got to do. Aimer, just know who you are, and go and make yourself happy.
Q
Autre, just piggybacking on what you said earlier, do you feel that you’ve been written off, going into this fight?
Un. Berto
Bien, from my first loss moving forward, I’ve been written off. Comme je le disais. going into it, it’s just where the fight game is. It’s just where the fight game is. From my first loss on, it’s been this and this, this and that. I’ve been through my hard times. I’ve been through everything in this fight game and have been in front of that TV screen.
That’s what you need to understand. I’ve got a chance to fight all over. I was with Lou DiBella and HBO. Everything that I’ve done has been in the eyes of the public. My rise, my fall, going through my defeats.
Coming back from shoulder surgery, coming back trying to continue to make a statement, make people know I’m still here. J'adore ça, because I love that roller coaster ride. I’ve never seen my career coming into the game as being perfect. Never. Never.
I’ve always wanted to feel everything that this game had to offer. But it’s just like Muhammad Ali said a long time ago, he was able to feel everything this game had to offer. He got knocked down. He got stopped. He wasn’t tired. He was the best alive. This and that. He had to experience it all.
When I’m done, I’ll be able to read my story and see that and explains everything this game had to offer.
Q
Autre, he’s obviously he’s the younger fighter and he’s a pretty big favorite in the fight. How much motivation has that given you in this camp?
Un. Berto
It’s a tremendous motivation for me. I believe they’ve been able to see a whole different type of determination and motivation in me. And they do see it in these fights as well. So it’s not going to stop. It’s not going to stop me. They can think of that some other type of way, but everybody right now, à ce stade, it looks like they’re in the way right now for what I want. C'est tout. C'est tout. That’s all they’re getting out of my way.
Q
How difficult has it been for you to not be more active since the Broner fight?
S. Porter
That’s a tough one to call. I think more than anything it’s been a little tougher mentally, outside of that, we still work hard and I’m on SHOWTIME for a reason.
I’m a Showtime fighter, so I’m never worried, about any amount of time that I stay out of the ring in the actual fight because we have tons of those before the actual match. Si, I’m just excited about this fight coming in, and I’m looking forward to it.
Q
Do you think maybe for your next fight if you’re able to beat Andre, do you feel like a Thurman rematch because, especially, this is an elimination match for his title that that is a realistic opportunity for you in your next fight?
S. Porter
I’m hoping so. I know that he has two different belts. He will have two different mandatories, so I understand all that, but I’m looking forward to getting back in the ring with Keith Thurman in a rematch as soon as we can after this fight with Andre Berto.
Q
Autre, you’re going into this fight with roughly a one-year layoff since your last fight with the second fight with Ortiz. Can you tell us about that layoff and how you think it might affect your performance in this fight?
Un. Berto
The layoff is the layoff. That’s something you got to ask the promoter, the managers on that. But anybody that follows me, they know I’ve been staying busy anyways. within this year I’ve been staying working out and I’ve been staying in shape.
I’d say we’ve had a nice lengthy camp to make sure to knock off all the rust. And we’re sharp, une. We’re sharp. And all ready to go. So I don’t think it’s going to play too much of a big part in this as well.
Q
How does that affect you being off for that period of time, because as soon as the bell rings, it may get very heated very quickly.
Un. Berto
It’s not going to affect me too much at all. Everybody knows me. When it comes to me, I’ve been scrappy that way my whole career. And plus we’ve been having tremendous sparring. We been having tremendous, tremendous sparring here at the gym.
So far everybody is trying to push me to a whole other level. I’m here putting real money on my own head to make sure these guys come from the first round. Always trying to see if they can knock me out.
So all the sparring has been top notch, and it’s definitely been highly, highly competitive. We’re going to be ready to go.
Q
As the more veteran fighter, are there going to be changes in your approach?
Un. Berto
Oui, it’s crazy to say; I’m an old vet now. My boxing IQ has changed so much when it comes to everything in general.
We’re doing things for a reason. Not just out there throwing punches because we can. Not just always just being fast because we can, or being strong because we can. Everything is for a purpose and we’ve just been fine-tuning everything. And everything has been falling in place pretty amazingly.
Q
Shawn, do you think there are going to be any ring rust problems, or how are you going to deal with that?
S. Porter
Ne Pas, no ring rust at all, une. I’m just looking forward to this fight. I know it’s been a while since you guys have seen me, but I’m always working, and my team is always on me, making sure I’m in shape, getting in shape, staying in shape. And that I’m controlling my weight, my eating, all that kind of stuff. Si, maintenant, there’s no problem for Shawn Porter.
