ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (Juny 2, 2016) – Keith Thurman, the reigning WBA Welterweight World Champion, is four weeks out from his Juny 25 title defense against Shawn Porter and has his 20-year career in boxing on his mind heading into the crucial showdown.

It’s been an amazing journey and no one predicted this better than my first coach Ben Getty,” said 27-year-old Thurman. “It puts me in a state of gratitude for Ben. He told everyone I’d be world champ, and here I am, defending my title against Shawn Porter. I am just starting to see what Ben Getty saw in me and the mark that I can make in boxing.
Thurman isn’t the only one celebrating a boxing anniversaryhis trainer of 13 years and Florida Hall of Fame elected boxing trainer Dan Birmingham, who trained former champion Winky Wright, has been in the sport for 50 any, and assistant trainer Chris Getty has grown up with Thurman in the sport through his father Ben Getty. The fight also is the first primetime fight on CBS in almost 40 years since the Muhammad Ali vs. Leon Spinks from Las Vegas.
Ara, 20 years after Ben Getty introduced Thurman to boxing as part of an after school program, he is one of the strongest power punchers in the division, with an excellent knockout rate of 80%. His focus, però, is on making boxing history.
My goal is to be known as the hardest hitting welterweight in the division,” Said Thurman. “This camp, if anything, I feel more comfortable. I’m fully recovered, combat, entrenament. I’ve been throwing power punches for what seems like forever and it’s a little weird. I can’t help but think about how this is my 20º year in boxing and knowing the longevity I’ve had. It’s given me a new confidence. “
For Birmingham, this training camp has been a re-commitment to the strategic and conditioning process the team has gone through for each fight for the past 13 any.
Training is going real well,” said Birmingham. “We know Porter is a come-forward fighterhe is going to try to be on Keith’s chest. I want Keith to box, use his power, use his jab, and use his feints to work the body from the inside. All the things Keith knows how to do. Porter is not a real technical fighter so we’re working on using that to our advantage.
Birmingham on sparring:
We’ve been doing great sparring workwe have some tough, tough kids in camp. We’ve been boosting aerobic capacity, and those kids are keeping on Keith. He’s going to be in great shape for this fight. We’re excited for this fight. “
What does Team “Una Vegada” anticipate?
Birmingham:
We know that Porter is going to bring it so we’re working extra hard on aerobics and being fit for this fight. Keith’s doing a lot of running, cardio, endurance; we expect a tough fight and we’ll be prepared for this fight. We expect a victory
What can fans expect on Juny 25?
Thurman:Hopefully a knock out! I’m coming to bring it. Shawn is coming to bring it. Serà una gran baralla. We are two of the top welterweights in the division. Two of the youngest and strongest welterweights in the sport going toe-to- toe.
What is your goal for this fight?
Thurman: My goal is to be known as the hardest hitting welterweight in the division. My lifelong goal is to be the undisputed welterweight champion of the worldand I have a ways to go in unifying the titles. Once I move past Shawn I look forward to the challenge of making my dreams come true. I’m blessed to be where I am today.
The Welterweight division is one of the hottest divisions in boxing, what do you think of a Super 6 tournament in the division?
Thurman: I’m for it. In the 147-pound division it’s time to unify a title. Someone at 147 should have more than one belt and that’s my goal that before end of the year to have more than one belt.
One of the sports more enigmatic athletes, Thurman is known for having a varied list of interests and hobbies setting him apart from other fighters, including playing the flute, piano and guitar, books (The Secret Life of Plants to Bhagavad Gita the Little Buddhist Handbook) and music (Ziggy Marley to Tupac). It is his uniqueness that helps him be an easy fan-favorite.
Greatest advice I’ve been given is just to be Keith Thurmanjust be me,” Said Thurman. “I’m looking forward to stepping on this scale, not over talking and just going in and getting the knock out.

CHICAGO (Juny 2, 2016) – Rau'shee Warren està a punt. The three-time Olympian and top bantamweight challenger from Cincinnati has spent months preparing for his second showdown against world champion Juan Carlos Payano. A l'agost 2015, the two fought ferociously to a controversial split decision, which went in Payano’s favor, allowing the Dominican Republic native to retain his title. Warren was less than pleased with the judges’ decisió, and intends to take what he feels is rightfully his when the two rematch in primetime on NBC on June 18.
I felt like I clearly won the first fight,” va dir Warren. “I thought the two judges that scored the fight for him were going to give it to him no matter what. The fight was in his backyard. It really hurt me when they raised his hand, I felt cheated.
The first fight between Payano and Warren served as the main event for the first installment of the PBC: La Ronda Següent on Bounce TV series on August 2, 2015. Un dels jutges van anotar la baralla 115-109 for Warren while the other two had it 113-11 for Payano, leaving the two men to dispute the true winner of the bout. But for Payano, there was no question that he was the rightful winner that night.
I ran him ragged from post to post,” said Payano. “It was the champion chasing the challenger. Normally to win the title, it has to be the other way around. If he had got the decision, there would have been no controversy, he’d be a superstar.
The fight featured solid two-way action throughout but the final scores were effected by a couple of decisions by referee Frank Santore Jr. Payano lost a point in the third round for punches to the back of the head, while Warren was deducted two points in round nine for a foul that was ruled intentional.
Per a aquesta baralla, neither man plans to leave any doubt in the minds of the audience or the judges.
I watched our first fight about 20 vegades,” va dir Warren. “I spent a lot of time looking at my mistakes and things I needed to eliminate. I feel like this fight is going to be really easy for me now. Payano is not getting out of this one. I won’t be finished until he stops. He’s going to try to get away from me, but I’m going to use what I’m doing in the gym to take him out smart. I’m way smarter now and a knockout is going to come.
I plan to win even more convincingly this time,” said Payano. “I’m going to use my ring intelligence and not fight on emotion like I did in the first fight. Vaig a barallar intel·ligent, but my style is my style. I don’t know how to fight any other way, so it will be another great fight. I’m sure he will make adjustments but I know I will win this fight.
The punch stats told the classic tale of the busier fighter versus the more accurate fighter. Payano threw 709 punches to Warren’s 439. But it was Warren who out landed Payano 173 a 166, while owning the advantage in connect percentage at 39 percent to 23 per cent. Warren was even able to score a knockdown of Payano in the 12º round but was unable narrow the scores enough to get the victory.
Ara, training camp is in full swing as as both men look to gain an edge and leave the ring with their hand raised on Juny 18.
Training has been going great,” said Payano. “It’s been a very long camp. We were supposed to fight a long time ago and it didn’t happen. We’ve been waiting a long time and I’m ready to go. I’m eating gunpowder and the bomb is going off on Juny 18, so be ready.
The first time around it was just me, my brother, personal trainer and my coach out in Colorado,” va dir Warren. “This time I started training back home in Cincinnati and now I’m in Washington, D.C. sparring with Gervonta Davis to get ready. The way I look at it, my sparring partner is better than Payano.
The Payano vs. Warren rematch will open up Lliga de Campions de Boxa a NBCcoverage on Juny 18 a 8:30 p.m. I/5:30 p.m. PT that is headlined by light heavyweight bruiser Andrzej Fonfara taking on tough New Yorker Joe “The Irish Bomber” Smith Jr.

Fighters spoke to media and posed for cameras at the Paradise Live Theater before moving into the Hard Rock Live Arena for media workouts.
Això és el que els combatents havien de dir dimecres:
Rances Barthélemy
I’m very excited to be fighting here close to Miami. This is a second home for Cubans and I’m really motivated to put on a great performance for the fans.
Ismael Salas is one of the top trainers in the world and our whole team has been fantastic. We’re ready to get in the ring and fight.
I come prepared with a few strategies. I never stick to one game plan because us Cubans were taught to have a few up your sleeve so that you can adjust according to whatever presents itself to you in the ring.
If we don’t get the knockout, then we are ready to go the distance. My team is prepared to go the distance if we have to, but also to give an entertaining fight.
You’re going to see a new Rances Barthelemy in 2016.
“No et perdis aquesta lluita. Get there early, because it might not go five. Get ready for a great night of boxing.
MICKEY BEY
I want to give Rances props for stepping up and taking the fight. This is the beautiful thing about boxing, la millor lluita contra els millors.
You have a two-time champion fighting a world champion that never lost his belt in the ring. That says it all right there. We’re two elite fighters. We’re both going for glory.
No matter what anybody says today, it comes down to the action el divendres.
I’m in there with the same mindset no matter who I’m fighting. I’m coming in there to do what I do no matter what. It’s just another day for me.
You’ll see a throwback fighter in there. I’m like the fighters from back in the day. I’m here looking for the victory. I don’t care how I get it and I can’t predict. But we want to have our hand raised.
I’m coming to get what is rightfully mine. No t'ho perdis.”
EMMANUEL RODRÍGUEZ
I feel great and ready for Divendres. I’m not worried about demà at all, we’re right on weight, so we’re just looking forward to stepping into the ring at this point.
We’ve been in training camp for six months as we had a tentative fight date scheduled prior to this so I was already in the gym getting ready. We’re in the best shape.
We have seen footage of him and saw he makes a lot of mistakes. We analyzed those defaults and are using them as a strategy against him. We’ve put those into practice and think we will be able to execute them to come out victorious at the end of the night.
He’s not your typical Mexican warrior fighter, he’s the total opposite actually so we’re not worried about what he does.
ALBERTO GUEVARA
I’m ready for this big opportunity and I’m ready to fight. This is a big card and it’s very exciting.
I know what I have in front of me. Emmanuel Rodriguez is a good fighter, but he’s just another opponent to me.
I’m well prepared and I believe I’m going to win this fight.
CALEB PLANTA
I’m thankful to have this stage to perform on. I’m glad the media could come out and get a sneak peek of what I’m going to bring Divendres nit.
The game plan is to go in there and look sharp, be slick, make adjustments and dictate the pace. He’s going to be uncomfortable because we’re going to dictate the pace. We’ll see if he can keep up.
I’ve seen enough tape on, which wasn’t very much. I let my coaches breakdown the film and let me know what I need to do.
This is my only job and I do it well. I’m not into getting ready, Em quedo llest. We’re here to show out.
I’ve had a great training camp. I worked hard and I’m ready to put on a show aquest divendresnit. I’m going to do what I always do in there.

SANT ANTONI (Maig 29, 2016) – L'ex campió del món Miguel “Titella” Vázquez (36-5, 13 KOs) defeated Ecuador’s Erick Os (16-4, 8 KOs) in a 10-round battle that headlined Lliga de Campions de Boxa a FS1 i FOX Esports Dissabte night from the Dancehall in San Antonio.
The former champion from Mexico worked behind a strong jab and brought the fight to Bone throughout the main event. Bone was able to return fire and was effective at times when countering.
The jab of Vazquez eventually led to success with the right hand that was able to hurt his opponent and keep the battle-tested Bone from building momentum.
Both fighters landed at a nearly identical rate as Vazquez connected on 22 percent of his punches while Bone landed 21 per cent. No obstant això, it was Vazquez with the advantage in punches landed at 94 a 74.
The fight featured many close rounds, which was reflected by the varied scores of the judges. Al final, all three had the fight for Vazquez by scores of 99-91, 97-93 i 96-94.
En l'esdeveniment co-principal, rising featherweight Miguel Flores (20-0, 9 KOs) kept his record perfect as he defeated Mexican veteran Ruben Tamayo (26-9-4, 18 KOs) in their 10-round bout.
Facing a southpaw for the first time as a professional, Flores had some trouble early with the game Tamayo who was able to penetrate the defense of the 23-year-old with left hands while also opening a cut with an accidental head butt in round two.
As the fight went on Flores showed improved movement and a variety of effective punches that allowed him to take control of the fight. Most notably, Flores used a bruising left hook to the body that left Tamayo marked up and slowed down his offense.
Both fighters threw over 550 punches but it was Flores who out landed his opponent 175-121. The judges rewarded the still undefeated fighter with the unanimous decision by scores of 100-90 i 98-92 dues vegades.
Here is what the main event fighters had to say Dissabte:
MIGUEL VAZQUEZ
I wanted to throw the heavier punches because I thought I could win by knockout, but that didn’t happen. There was an overhand right in the eighth round that I thought hurt him badly.
He was an elusive fighter and survived, so there are still things that I have to work on.
There was some difficulty adjusting to the late opponent switch, but overall, no hi ha problema. I had been sparring southpaws as well as right-handers.
If I could have followed up on some of the hooks and overhand rights, I could have gotten him out of there.
I’ve always wanted to fight Adrien Broner. I want to make that.
ERICK OS
Vazquez was awkward and hard to fight. I gave it my all in there.
I’m thankful for the opportunity and I’m looking forward to getting back in the gym and working on some things before I return to the ring.

Training camp is always good and I will be in the best shape possible on June 12. I helped Edwin Rodriguez prepare for his fight against Baker so I know him well. I am at the stage to step up to the next level
I’m excited about this opportunity to take on a fighter like Steve Lovett,” said Baker. “He’s highly regarded but I know that I have the skills and experience to beat him. I’m leaving it all in the ring. A win here puts me in position to get big fights so I plan on being impressive.

Both fighters have been training in Las Vegas before they head to southern Florida for their world title battle. Barthelemy trains with Ismael Salas at the Salas Boxing Academy while Bey works with his longtime trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr. at the Mayweather Boxing Club.

Les entrades per a l'esdeveniment en viu, which is promoted by Kings Promotions, Mayweather Promotions and Panther Promotions, tenen un preu de $130, $80, $60 i $35 (additional fees may apply) i estan a la venda. All seats are reserved and available at all Ticketmaster outlets, en línia en www.myhrl.com,www.ticketmaster.com or charge by phone: 1-800-745-3000. Les portes obren a 5:30 pm, with the first fight set to begin at 6:30 p.m.

Això és el que els combatents havien de dir sobre el camp d'entrenament, their matchup and more:

What advantages do you believe you have because of your training team?

Rances Barthelemy: “A mi, Ismael is the best trainer in the world. He was the lead trainer of the Cuban National Team at the time that Cuban amateur boxing was having its most success. He is truly underrated and I do not know why.

Having gone through different trainers throughout my career, I am glad that I found Salas. We clicked right off the bat, and him being a Cuban and having a successful background both in the Cuban amateur system and in the pros, he’s been able to incorporate the best from both worlds in his training methods. He has also been able to bring out abilities in me that others were not able to and it has made me a completely different fighter.

Mickey Bey:Floyd Sr. has been my trainer for about 12 any. We’ve been together since I was a teenager and before I turned pro. He is an old school trainer and he knows the science of boxing.

Being around the other Mayweather Promotions fighters provides a lot of energy to training because everybody is striving to be the best they can be. Whenever that’s the case it’s always a positive thing because the trainers know that’s what you’re after. Floyd Sr. and Floyd are the reason I moved to Las Vegas. It’s been a blessing to be able to train with him for so long. We gelled from the beginning and I have definitely grown a lot as a fighter.

What does fighting for this belt mean to you?

RB:I don’t really focus on this being another title defense. I just focus on it being another fight that I must win impressively so that I can get to the big fights. There is no added pressure from it being a title defense. I just want everyone to see the boxing ability that I have so that I can get the big fights that I want and deserve.

MB:Winning back this belt is really important to me. I still feel like it’s mine. He’s just been keeping it warm for me. I had to deal with the injuries but now I don’t have to worry about babying my hand or anything like that.

What do you think this fight will be like stylistically?

RB:I plan on this being a great fight between two great boxers. He has a great amateur and pro background, com fer jo, and hopefully that makes for a great show.

MB:You never really know until you’re in the ring but it’s going to be a fight between two skilled boxers. I have seen some footage but not too much because I don’t really watch much tape. I saw him fight for my vacant belt but I can’t get caught up in that because I’m different than anybody he’s ever fought. I’m a lot more difficult than he probably thinks.

What skill advantages do you believe you have over your opponent?

RB: “I feel I am the better all-around fighter. I have the reach, height and power over him. I feel he has shown in the past that he can’t take a good punch, so we will see if he can take mine.

MB:I bring it all. I can do everything that can be done in the ring. Every single department, període. I do think he’s a good fighter, I give him his props, he’s a two-time world champion, but I don’t think he can do one thing better than me.

What did you learn from your fight with Denis Shafikov?

RB:It was a really tough fight and definitely a great learning experience. I made it tougher than it should have been but I had never been in a war like that before and adrenaline kicked in. The blood made me want to dig down and trade with him in the center of the ring and beat him at his own game. It was the first time I had to go down to the trenches and engage in a fight like that but I wanted to do it to show that not all Cubans are boring and only box around.

What did you learn from your fight with Miguel Vazquez?

MB:I found out how good I was because I was able to beat a guy that good with one hand. Going into it I already knew I was going to be fighting with one hand since it had been giving me problems. I couldn’t let both hands go, so I had to strategically land more accurate shots. I couldn’t let it become a high volume fight because I knew I wouldn’t be able to respond with both hands. This is my first fight in four or five years with two good hands, so it’s going to be a completely different ball game.

What does it mean to you to fight in south Florida in front of your Cuban fans?

RB:That’s my backyard and it’s another advantage for me. It is like being in a free Cuba pretty much and I don’t think I’ll ever feel as comfortable fighting anywhere else with the majority of the people being there to support me. It means the world to me to be able to fight in front of my fans and my closest friends. It’s the closest thing to being able to fight in my country.

Are you concerned about fighting on the road in front of a crowd that is expected to be for your opponent?

MB:They can’t get in the ring for him. It’s just going to be me and him. Nobody can get in the ring and help him. It doesn’t add any pressure. I grew up hard, in a rough neighborhood and I’ve been through a lot so I’m numb to any pressure. I’m just ready to get in the ring with him.

What are your plans after this fight?

RB:I will be headed straight to the Cuban Embassy in Washington, D.C. after the fight to try to obtain a visa so I can finally return to Cuba and visit my family that I have not seen since my defection eight years ago. I thought I would never be able to return but now I will be returning as a two-time world champion with grand dreams of one day headlining the first pro boxing event in Cuba.

MB:After this fight I’ll be looking for another big competitive fight. Sempre estic buscant un desafiament. That’s why I’m in this fight.

Why do you believe you’ll be victorious on June 3?

RB:I feel I am levels above Mickey Bey in all aspects of the game. I am comfortable with my training and I plan on returning to Miami with my second world title. The adrenaline of fighting in front of my Cuban people will add fuel to my fire and propel me to victory. I am on a mission to be great and leave an imprint in the sport and Mickey Bey is in the way.

MB: “Jo sóc un millor lluitador. It’s that simple.

Perrella ready for breakthrough performance June 4

Fort Myers, Florida (Maig 24, 2016) – Welterweight Bryant “Goodfella” Perrella of Fort Myers, FL faces his toughest foe to date when he challenges Washington, DC’s David “Day Day” Grayton Saturday, Juny 4.
The anticipated ten round match up between unbeaten southpaws takes place at the Bell Centre in Montreal as part of a Premier Boxing Champions card on ESPN.
Both Perrella, 13-0 (12 Nocauts), and Grayton, 14-0 (10 Nocauts), were heralded amateurs that have been dominant thus far in the paid ranks. As is typically the case when two noteworthy prospects meet, the winner moves a step closer to contention while the fighter who falls short often has to climb back up the mountain.
With Grayton undefeated in his own right and also very hungry to advance his career by emerging victorious, Perrella’s taken his training to new heights. The 27-year-old has traveled throughout the Sunshine State for quality sparring and is strengthening his body by doing regular aquatic training. This has helped him remove weight properly so there won’t be any surprises on the scale. To further assist, Perrella hired a private chef to ensure he’s refueling his body properly.
Total, Perrella’s team is confident about the match up against Grayton and believes the hard work in the gym is an integral part why Bryant will have his hand raised June 4.
"Camp has been great,” said Perrella’s trainer Michael Nowling. “Bryant is treating this camp like we’re preparing for a world title fight. El més important, he’s got a calm demeanor and clear head with no distractions whatsoever. He is not nervous about the fight or overly anxious. A lot of guys may feel overwhelmed since this a win in a fight like this likely gets the winner to the next level but not Bryant. He’s been a true professional in the gym since day one and seeing him kick it up a notch further solidifies my confidence that Juny 4 will be the night he puts the boxing world on notice.”
Les butlletes estan disponibles per anar a http://www.evenko.ca/html/tickets/boxe-jun2016/index_en.html and the bout will air at 11 pm ET/8 PM PT.
