NOVA JORKO - novembro 24, 2020 - Pasintaj kontraŭuloj al legenda boksista ikono Hector "Macho" Camacho, inkluzive de "Sukero" Ray Leonard, Felix "Tito" Trinidado kaj Halo de Famo-trejnisto Freddie Roach, dividu siajn unuamanajn spertojn kun la eksa mondĉampiono kaj memoru lian karakterizan ekstravagancan stilon antaŭ la MACHO: LA HECTOR CAMACHO-RAKONTO dokumenta premiero vendrede, Decembro 4 #?E 9 P.M. Et / PT sur SHOWTIME.

MACHO: LA HECTOR CAMACHO-RAKONTO estas senŝanĝa rigardo al la rimarkinda vivo, famkonata kariero kaj nesolvita murdo de unu el la plej grandaj spektakloj de boksado. Per maloftaj kaj malkaŝaj intervjuoj kun sia patrino, Maria Matias, fratinoj, edzino Amy kaj filo Hector Jr., la dokumenta filmo ankaŭ profundiĝas en la maltrankvila menso kaj spirito de la legenda batalanto, lia batalo kun dependeco kaj la interna tumulto kiuj finfine kaŭzis lian forpason - misteran duoblan hommortigon sur vojrando en novembro 2012. La filmo estas direktita de dufoja Emmy? Premiito Eric Drath. Drath kaj Danielle Naassana, ambaŭ de Live Star Entertainment, funkciis kiel produktantoj kaj deksesfoja Premio Emmy Aaron Cohen funkciis kiel verkisto kaj konsilanta produktanto.

Krom Leonard, Trinidado kaj Ploto, pasintaj mondĉampionoj Ray Mancini, Greg Haugen, Vinny Pazienza kaj pli memoras pri grimpado en la ringon kontraŭ la pompaĉa kaj lerta Hector "Macho" Camacho:

SUGAR RAY LEONARD - marto 1, 1997; En la fina kariera batalo de Ray Leonard, Camacho gajnis per kvina-ronda TKO: “Ni ambaŭ nature pasis nian pinton, sed mi nur sentis, ke mi estas pli granda viro. Mi estis pli lerta, pli forta, ĉiuj tiuj aferoj, sed la unuan fojon li ĵetis pugnbaton, ĝi estis kvazaŭ, Pow! Kaj mi diris, 'Ŭaŭ, tio doloris. ’Mi klopodis plej bone por nur malproksimiĝi. Kiam li estis plej bona, li estis belega afero. "

FELIX "TITO" TRINIDAD ? Januaro 29, 1994; IBF-veltera pezo: “Mi unue renkontis Macho Camachon kiam mi estis 12 jarojn aĝa ĉe endoma arena evento en Porto-Riko. Li jam estis mondĉampiono. Mi timis. Camacho parolis al ĉiuj kaj estis li mem. Li manĝis 12 empanadas samtempe nur por esti amuza.

“Kiam mi batalis kontraŭ li, ĝi estis mia tria titola defendo. Mi estis 21 kaj li estis 10 jarojn pli aĝa ol mi. Li havis tiom da sperto kaj ludis tiom da mensludoj. Ĉe la fina gazetara konferenco, li sidis ĉe la fino mem de la tablo - flanken, iel ignori la gazetaron - kaj rigardi min. Kiam venis lia tempo paroli, li nur parolis rubaĵon. Li estis tia spektaklisto. Kiam ni eniris la ringon en Las Vegas, kiel ĉiu batalanto ĉe krucvoja batalo, Mi estis iomete nervoza. Li estis tia bonega batalanto. Li estis tiel sperta kaj teknika. Li estis iomete freneza sed estis tiel bona homo. Humila.

“Post la batalo, li venis kun la mentono malsupren kaj gratulis min. Li estis kiel alia homo - li estis tiel afabla kaj trankvila. 'Ĝi estis bona batalo,' li diris al mi. 'Vi estos bonega ĉampiono. Daŭre grimpu. ’Ĝi estis bonega sperto por mi. Post tiu batalo, Mi sentis, ke io ŝanĝiĝis en mi kiel batalanto. Mi estis dividinta ringon kun Macho Camacho. Vi neniam estas la sama post tio. Li helpis min esti pli bona batalanto. Li estis la unua puertorikano, kiun mi iam alfrontis. La sola batalanto, kiu tranĉis min. Mi ricevis mian venkon kontraŭ li la saman nokton [Frankie] Randall donis al Julio Cezaro Chavez sian unuan malvenkon. Estis historia nokto. "

FREDDIE ROACH - Decembro 18, 1985; Camacho gajnis superpezan atakon per unuanima decido plibonigi 28-0: “Hector Camacho estis la plej bona boksisto, kiun mi iam batalis. Lia rapideco estis nekredebla. Iam dum la batalo, ni estis en vinkto kaj mi mordis lian ŝultron. Li retropaŝis, ridetis, kaj diris al mi, 'Tio ne funkcios.’ Li pravis. Mi havis tiom da problemoj trakti lian rapidecon. Vi simple ne povis prepari ĝin – kaj mi havis tre bonan trejnejon. Mi vere pretis tiun batalon. Mi pensas, ke mi gajnis unu raŭndon, kaj tio okazis nur ĉar mi paŝis sur lian piedon kaj faligis min. Post la batalo, ni renkontis unu la alian en nia hotela vestiblo kaj li kondukis min al vespermanĝo en la restoracio de la hotelo. Ni parolis kaj ridis dum la vespermanĝo. Li estis bonega ulo. "

RAY MANCINI - marto 6, 1989; Camacho gajnis fulmdecidon por la vaka WBO Junior Welterweight-titolo: “Hektoro havis perturban kapablon eviti batojn. Li havis bonegan manan rapidecon, movado kaj refleksoj. Li eniris la ringon kun ĉiuj. Kaj li estis amuza kiel infero. Unue, Mi ne eltenis lin. Sed iam ni estis emeritaj, ni enterigis la hakilon kaj ĉiufoje ni vidus unu la alian, estis brakumoj kaj ridoj. Li ridigis ĉiujn. Li estis bona animo. Mi estis afliktita kiam mi aŭdis la novaĵojn pri lia murdo. En mia libro, kiam vi parolas pri ĉiamaj granduloj, li estas inter la kvin plej bonaj por puertorikaj batalantoj kaj plej bona 20 por latinamerikaj batalantoj.”                 

GREGHAUGEN - Februaro 23, kaj majo 18, 1991; La unua kariera perdo de Camacho kaj la revanĉo por WBO Jr.. Veltera Mondĉampioneco: "Camacho serĉis agordan batalon por la granda batalo de la nevenkitaj kun Julio Cesar Chavez do mi tiel batalis. Sed mi studis liajn batalojn kaj mi sciis, ke Hector ŝatas batali nur minuton, minuto kaj duono de ĉiu rondo. Mia plano batali estis igi lin batali tri minutojn de ĉiu rondo. Mi batis lin per korpopafoj kaj li ŝancelis. Kaj plus, Mi parolis kun li la tutan batalon, do li ĉagreniĝis. Do ni alvenas al la 12Th ronda kaj li finas naivulon pugnobatante min antaŭ la komenco de la rondo ĉar mi rifuzis tuŝi gantojn, kaj ili finas prenante poenton de li, kiu gajnis la batalon por mi. (En la revanĉo) li estis tiel certa, ke li perdis la batalon, li efektive forlasis la ringon post la batalo. La iniciatinto Dan Duva devis eltiri lin el sia vestĉambro kaj esence persvadi lin reeniri en la ringon por aŭdi la decidon.. Li devis gajni tiun batalon ĉar tio vicigus lin al Chavez. Mi pensis, ke mi venkis lin pli multe en la dua batalo ol la unua batalo. ”

VINNY-PACIENCO - Februaro 3, 1990; Camacho gajnis unuaniman decidon por la titolo WBO Junior Welterweight: “Mi pensis, ke mi ruinigos lin. Mi pensis, ke mi tuj trairos lin. Sed li estis multe pli forta kaj multe pli rapida ol mi kredis. Kaj mi pensis, 'Ho dio, Mi eniras longan nokton. ’Li pretiĝis por mi kiel neniu alia batalo. Li estis tiel ampa kaj tiel preta. Li eligis ĉiujn drogojn. Li ne trinkis. Li ekstaris tiel alte kaj post kiam li batis min, li neniam estis la sama denove. Hektoro estis tia rolulo. Li superas min tiurilate. Li estis sovaĝa ulo kaj li estis sovaĝa dum sia tuta vivo. "

PJ GOOSSEN - junio 18, 1999; Camacho gajnis unuaniman decidon en la aĝo de 37 plibonigi sian rekordon al 68-4-1: “Tio estis malbona nokto por mi. Mi havis tri rompitajn ripojn, kaj neniu vere sciis ĝin. Tiel, Mi apenaŭ povis spiri, des malpli batali, sed tion vi devas fari en boksado kelkfoje. Dum ni pretiĝis por la batalo, lia tualetejo estis tuj apud la mia kaj ili havis ĉi tiun pordon disigantan nin. Mi povis aŭdi lin antaŭ la batalo krii, 'Macho-tempo!’‘ Macho-tempo!’Kaj li trafas la muron. Kaj li daŭre faras tion, kriante pli kaj pli laŭte. Puto, li frapis la pordon tiel forte, ke ĝi trafis kaj li falis en mian vestĉambron. Tiel, li ekstaras kaj ĉirkaŭpaŝas tra la alia aperturo kaj diras, ‘Pardonu pri tio.’ Fakte ĝi estis sufiĉe amuza kaj mi kaj mia patro kaj frato ridis. Reveni kaj pardonpeti, kiam li supozeble ekscitiĝos por batali kontraŭ mi. Mi markus lin kiel unu el la plej bonaj maldekstruloj iam ajn, precipe kiam li estis pluma kaj malpeza. "

Ĉi tiuj estas tri egalaj bataloj, kiuj devas esti senĉesa dramo dum batala nokto. "

Reprezentante sian denaskan Broklinon, N.Y., Colbert (14-0, 5 KOs) rapide pafis la 130-funtan rangon, prenante altnivelan konkuradon en sia unua 14 Profesiaj bataloj. La 24-jaraĝa venkis tiam nevenkitajn batalantojn Austin Dulay, Titus Williams kaj Antonio Dubose, ĉio en liaj unuaj ok bataloj kiel profesiulo. Je 2019, Colbert aldonis kvar pliajn venkojn al sia kalkulo, inkluzive de eksplodema unuaraŭnda knokaŭto de veterano Miguel Beltran Jr.. Plej #?us, Colbert gajnis sian provizoran titolon faligante iaman super-lanugpezan ĉampionon Jezreel Corrales survoje al unuanima decido en ilia januaro 2020 kolizio.

"Mi tre ĝojas fari mian grandan scenejan debuton en la ĉefa evento,”Diris Colbert. “Ĝi estis longa tendaro, sed trejnado iras bonege. Mi serĉas regi prezenton, kaj mi serĉas la knokaŭton se ĝi estas tie. Se mi povas akiri ĝin, tio estus bonega. Mi scias, ke Jaime venos batali. Li volas la zonon tiel malbona kiel mi volas konservi la zonon. Ĉio elteniĝos, sonorigi IQ kaj kiu havas la pli grandan volon venki. Mi sentas min kiel la ulo por la laboro. En la infero neniel mi rezignas mian zonon en mia unua defendo. "

La 26-jara Arboleda (16-1, 13 KOs) amasigis imponan ses-batalan venksinsekvon irantan en la matĉon kontraŭ Colbert, kun kvin el tiuj venkoj en la distanco. Naskita en Curundu, Panamo, kaj nun batalas kontraŭ Miamo, Fla. Arboleda profesie batalis de tiam 2014 kaj gajnis knokaŭtojn super du tiama nevenkitaj kontraŭuloj en 2019, Victor Betancourt kaj Jose Saant.

“La revo de ĉiu boksisto estas batali por titolo kaj venki sen lasi ajnan dubon,”Diris Arboleda. “Tio estas mia plano por decembro 12. Mi havas la plej bonan preparadon de mia tuta kariero. Mi sentas grandan, forta kaj rapida kiel neniam antaŭe. Mi certas, ke ĝi estos tre ekscita batalo ekde la unua raŭndo. "

Korobov (28-3-1, 14 KOs) revenas al ago post perdado de sia decembro 2019 kolizio kontraŭ Chris Eubank Jr.. kiam li suferis ŝultro-vundon, kiu devigis la batalon finiĝi en la dua raŭndo. Korobov, kiu noĉis 300 gajnas kiel ornamita amatoro, venis en tiun batalon for de majoritata remizo kontraŭ Immanuwel Aleem, post avizo al la mezpeza divizio, ke li estus minaco kiam li perdus batalitan decidon al nevenkita mezpeza ĉampiono Jermall Charlo en decembro. Naskita en Orotukan, Rusio, kaj nun loĝas en St.. Petersburg, Fla, Korobov estis malfrua anstataŭanto kaj donis al Charlo pli malfacilan batalon ol multaj ekspertoj atendis. Korobov rajdis kvar-batalan venksinsekvon antaŭ la Charlo-batalo, post lia unua profesia malvenko kontraŭ Andy Lee en a 2014 mezpeza titola batalo.

“Mi ĝojas reveni en PBC-evento je SHOWTIME la 12an de decembro,” diris Korobov. “Mi havas malfacilan kontraŭulon, sed mi atendas venki kaj pruvi, ke mi revenis kaj eĉ pli bone preparis. Mi devas venki kontraŭ Ellis por rehavigi Jermall Charlo'n en la ringon. Certe, Mi kredas, ke mi venkis Charlo'n, sed tio estas la pasinteco. Ellis estas en mia estonteco, kaj mi venas por montri, ke mi ankoraŭ estas unu el la plej bonaj mezpezoj en la mondo.”

La 31-jara Ellis (17-1-2, 11 KOs) serĉos konstrui de sia lasta ekskurso, kiu vidis lin avantaĝa samranga konkuranto Immanuwel Aleem per plimulta decido en decembro 2019. Por Ellis, tiu batalo retrovis lin en la venkokolonon post lia unua kariera malvenko, plimulta decido kontraŭ DeAndre Ware en marto 2019. La Lynn, Meso-indiĝeno estas la pli maljuna frato de veltera Rashidi Ellis, kaj havis imponan amatoran karieron inkluzive de 2010 Nacia ĉampioneco de Oraj Gantoj limigita de venko super Terrell Gausha.

“Estas tempo por mi montri la 12an de decembro,” diris Ellis. “Korobov havis sian ŝancon kontraŭ la pintaj mezpezoj, kaj nun estas mia tempo profiti ĉi tiun ŝancon kaj uzi venkon super li por atingi tiun nivelon. Ni pene laboras en San-Diego batalante kun Canelo Alvarez, por ke ĉio estu perfekta kaj mi plej bonas dum batala nokto.”

Hejmanto de Broklino, Hitchins (11-0, 5 KOs) Turnita profesiulon en 2017 post reprezentado de Haitio ĉe la 2016 Olympics. La 23-jaraĝa ekbrilis impresajn kapablojn, ĉar li amasigis nesuperitan rekordon en la profesiaj rangoj, kiu estas produkto de vasta amatora kariero. Hitchins gajnis kvar venkojn en 2019, antaŭ ol debuti en 2020 kun decida venko super Nikolao DeLomba. En liaj unuaj du 10-rondaj atakoj kiel profesiulo, la maldelikato gajnis decidajn unuanimajn decidojn.

"Mi preteratentas iun kontraŭulon, sed mi kredas, ke mi havas pli bonan kaj pli akran kapablaron ol Mendez,”Diris Hitchins. “Mi havas ĉiujn nemateriaĵojn por fariĝi mondĉampiono. Tio ofte miskompreniĝas kiel koketa, sed vere nur mi kredas je mi mem ol iu ajn alia. Mi serioze traktos ĉi tiun batalon, kiel mi faros iun ajn alian batalon, kaj daŭre faros tion, kion mi faras, por paŝi pli proksime al tiu titolo.. Estante en tendaro kun Floyd Mayweather kaj Gervonta Davis, Mi lernis multon. Mi sentas, ke mi devas unu-supren konkurenci. Ili vere pelis min esti pli bona batalanto. "

Iama superpluma pezĉampiono, Mendez (25-5-3, 12 KOs) havas reputacion por provizi rigidajn defiojn al la plej bona de la sporto kaj pruvis esti daŭra konkuranto je 140-funtoj. Je 2019, Mendez batalis por dors-al-dorsaj remizoj kontraŭ superpezaj defiantoj, unue kontraŭ Anthony Peterson en marto kaj poste kontraŭ la nesuperita Juan Heraldez en majo. Naskita en San-Juano de La Maguana, Dominican Respubliko, Mendez nun batalas el junuloj, N.Y. kaj posedas venkojn super Eddie Ramirez, Ivan Redkach kaj iama titolisto Miguel Vazquez. Li ankaŭ iris piedfingre kun iamaj ĉampionoj Rances Barthelemy kaj Robert Easter Jr..

"Mi alfrontas junan perspektivon, kiu malsatas sukceson, sed mi pli malsatas hodiaŭ ol iam ajn en mia kariero kaj mi havas la sperton akompani ĝin,”Diris Mendez. "Mi ankaŭ ekstreme motivas ĉi tiun batalon, kio ne estas bona novaĵo por Hitchins. Kiam batalotempo venas en decembro 12, vi atestos inteligentan sed pli agreseman Argenis Mendez. "

SAN ANTONIO – Novembro 1, 2020 – Gervonta “Tanko” Davis delivered a Knockout of the Year candidate over four-division world champion Leo Santa Cruz in the most significant fight of his career, retaining his WBA Lightweight title and picking up the WBA Super Featherweight title Saturday night on SHOWTIME PPV? at the Alamodome in San Antonio in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions. It was the first major boxing event with fans in attendance since COVID-19 forced a halt to U.S. sports in March with an announced crowd of 9,024.

It was both fighterspay-per-view main event debut, and Davis (24-0, 23 KOs) and Santa Cruz (37-2-1, 19 KOs) delivered an all-action war that had the fans on their feet from start to finish. La batalo, which was contested at 130 Funtoj, saw both fighters stand in the pocket and press the action. It was in the sixth round when the defining moment of the night occurred, as Davis found an opening to land his trademark left uppercut, a knockout shot which Santa Cruz never saw coming. Davis proved that he is one of the most powerful punchers in the sport, stunning the crowd. Watch the KO HERE.

The uppercut wasn’t the key coming into the fight, but I adapted to what he was bringing,” said Baltimore’s Davis. “I knew he was taller and crouching down and moving forward. Once he moved forward, I tried to jab and make him run into the shot. He was right there for it. He punches, but he doesn’t try to get out of the way. There was nowhere for him to go on that knockout because I got him into the corner.

The power and body attack of the 25-year-old Davis was the difference as he landed 55 percent of his power punches to 29 percent for Santa Cruz, who was having his best round of the fight in the sixth round prior to the defining punch. The stronger Davis lured the 32-year-old Santa Cruz into a firefight as 34 of Davis’ 84 landed punches were body shots.

Leo is a tough warrior and a strong Mexican fighter,” said Davis, who is promoted by all-time great Floyd Mayweather. “He came ready for me. I was just the better fighter tonight. I want to maintain both belts. Whatever decision me and my team comes up with, we’ll go with it. I’m not ducking or dodging anybody. I’m a pay-per-view star. Everybody knows I’m number one and I showed it tonight.

We didn’t get the win, but I’m okay,” said Santa Cruz, who was taken to a nearby hospital for observation.

Davis #kontra?. Santa Cruz was a rare clash in boxing history in which world titles in two weight classes were at stake. Other notable instances in recent boxing history are the 1988 Sugar Ray Leonard vs. Donny Lalonde fight for the light heavyweight and super middleweight titles, Kaj la 2014 Floyd Mayweather vs. Marcos Maidana rematch for the super welterweight and welterweight championships.

En la co-#?efa?o, San Antonio’s hometown favorite Mario Barrios (26-0, 17 KOs) kept his unbeaten record intact and retained his WBA Super Lightweight title with a sixth-round KO over a game and bloodied Ryan Karl (18-3, 12 KOs) on Halloween night. Watch the KO HERE.

The fight broke open in the sixth round when Barrios landed a straight right hand that sent Karl down for just the third time in his career. Karl’s problems were further exasperated after an accidental clash of heads created a brutal cut on his forehead which proved to be too much to cope with. The 25-year-old Barrios smelled blood and closed the show in emphatic fashion, landing a left hook that sent Karl down and out at 2:23 of the sixth round. At the time of the stoppage, Barrios was ahead on all three scorecards (48-47 Kaj 49-46 Dufoje).

In the all-important sixth round, Barrios landed 29 De lia 58 power punches against a very tough Karl, kiu ĵetis 60 punches per round but landed just 18 percent of those punches.

This fight is for everybody who came out here in San Antonio tonight,” said Barrios following the win. “I told them we’d get this first title defense, and I hope everyone enjoyed it. I was just being patient and picking my shots. I started to really land them and got him out of there. I was ready to go a hard 12 Rondoj, but my patience helped me get him out of there. I listened to what Virgil [Hunter] was telling me in the corner. It was great to get the job done here at home

I feel fine but it was a hard shot that I got hit with,” said Milano, Teksaso’ “Vakero” Karl. “It was a tough, good, close fight. It was a good headbutt. I was bleeding pretty good but overall I feel fine. I’m not a sore loser. Mi venas batali, that’s what I expected. So congratulations to Mario on the win. We’ll move on from here.

Former world champion Regis Prograis (25-1, 21 KOs) took the first step to getting back on top of the 140-pound division, scoring a third-round stoppage of Juan Heraldez (16-1-1, 10 KOs) in the second bout of the night. Watch the stoppage HERE.

En la tria raŭndo, the fight changed in an instant as Prograis took advantage of Heraldez keeping his hands too low by landing his most dangerous weapon, a dynamite left hook that sent Heraldez sprawling to the canvas. When Heraldez got back to his feet, Prograis, who was born and raised in New Orleans but now fights out of Katy, Teksaso, sensed his opponent was in danger and pounced on Heraldez, forcing referee Rafael Ramos to step in and stop the action at 1:23 of round number three.

Vendrede, Prograis, who lost a 140-pound title unification fight to Josh Taylor last October, weighed in over the 140-pound limit.

I’ve been out of the ring for a year so I think that had some effect on me not making weight,” said the 31-year-old Prograis. “There’s no excuses, but the bubble also had some effect. Mainly it was the layoff though. My body wasn’t adjusted to making the weight again.

In the buildup to the fight, Prograis repeatedly stated he felt he was still the best in the world at 140 pounds and vowed to get his belt back.

I still feel like I’m the best at 140,Prograis reiterated to SHOWTIME’s Mauro Ranallo following the fight. “I’m going to keep proving it every time I fight. Me and Josh Taylor had a close fight, and I think if it had happened in the U.S. I would have won. We know that one day we’ll have to rematch at 140 or 147.

The Las Vegas-based Heraldez, who is signed to Mayweather Promotions, was disappointed he didn’t get the chance to continue the fight despite landing just 12 total punches landed compared to Prograis’ 35.

I just thought it was an early stoppage,” Li diris. “I was just getting warm, loose. He stunned me, but I don’t think they should’ve stopped the fight.

In the pay-per-view telecast opener, Mexico City’s Isaac Cruz (20-1-1, 15 KOs) wasted no time in getting the fans on their feet, scoring a stunning first-round knockout of Diego Magdaleno (32-4, 13 KOs) Nur 53 seconds into the night’s action. Watch the KO HERE.

The diminutive but powerful Cruz came out swinging immediately after hearing the opening bell, using his vicious uppercut to knock down the 34-year-old Magdaleno for the 11Th time in his career inside of 30 Sekundoj. Nur 20 seconds after Magdaleno got to his feet, Cruz again unleashed a barrage of punches with Magdaleno against the ropes, finishing him off with back-to-back right uppercuts. In a short night of work, Cruz managed to land 21 De 31 Stampiloj, 20 of which were power shots.

With the win in the IBF Title Eliminator, Cruz puts himself in position to challenge lightweight world champion Teofimo Lopez down the line.

The new Mike Tyson from Mexico was born tonight,” said the 22-year-old Cruz. “I thought it would go longer, but my natural instinct is always to go for it in the first round. I have confidence that I could win the world title right now. I thought it was a statement win. From now on, hopefully everyone will know my name and I’ll get the big fights. I would love a Teofimo Lopez fight. I’m very motivated right now. If he’s tough enough to take it, bring it on.

The announce team for the SHOWTIME PPV telecast was led by the most experienced and decorated boxing team on television. Veteran sportscaster Brian Custer served as host for the evening.

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

GERVONTA DAVIS

“My team and I decided to move our camp to Las Vegas so we could have a perfect camp. We spent 15 weeks in training, so I’m well prepared. Hopefully Leo is well prepared and we give the fans what they want to see.

“We know Leo is going to come with a lot of punches and I’m going to be explosive. It’s all about giving fans a treat. I’m grateful to be in this position and I’m ready. Saturday night is going to be a memorable night.

“Not to take anything from him, Yuriorkis Gamboa was just trying to survive against me. It’s harder to get punches off when someone isn’t trying to bring the fight. I know Leo is going to come to fight. I think this performance is going to put me up to the next level.

“I don’t think I have to knock him out, I just have to go out there and be great. Forget everything else, I just have to go out there and show everyone that I’m the top guy in the boxing world. That’s my main goal.

“Michael Jordan used to read the paper and do what they said he couldn’t do. That’s what I’m doing. I have to prove that I’m the baddest man in the sport on Saturday night.

“Leo is going to come to fight and it’s just about me stepping up and doing what I do best. You can see the potential in a fighter from the outside, but you have to see it actually come out in a fight to believe it. That’s the position I’m in. Everyone knows I’m great, I just have to show it.

“Leo has shown that he’s a top tier fighter, and he’s going up against an explosive, powerful fighter like myself. I think the winner should be in the top 10 of the pound-for-pound list.

“Floyd Mayweather has just told me to stay focused despite everything that comes with pay-per-view week. I have to get the job done first, but also do everything that comes with being the next pay-per-view star.

“I’m one of those fighters that knows how to focus when I have something big in front of me. None of the great fighters before me have frozen up when it’s crunch time. I’ve always been able to focus when big things are on the line. That’s what I did for this training camp.

“I’m not really focused on anyone who isn’t Leo Santa Cruz. I can’t overlook Leo. As far as any other fighter out there, they just don’t matter to me right now. I’ll prove it along the way. This is one step closer to proving the point I want to prove.”

LEO SANTA CRUZ

“This is what I’ve always dreamed of. When I was a little boy, I wanted to be on this stage. I’m living that dream and I’m very happy and excited. I never thought I’d accomplish it. I thought it was like winning the lottery. But thanks to the fans, I’m here where I’m at.

“I’m facing the best fighter in the division. If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best. I have to go against the best fighter. I wanted to challenge myself. I know this is a dangerous fight for me, but I want to test myself.

“We’ve both suffered and been through a lot to get here. Neither of us wants to go back to where we started. So I know we’re both going to give a great fight to the fans.

“I have the heart of a Mexican warrior. My dad has told me to fight a smart fight, but even though he’s going to say that, there’s a good chance I end up brawling with him at times. No matter what, we’re going to find a way to beat him.

“I don’t really worry about being the underdog. Everyone has their opinion. It’s my job to go out there and prove the doubters wrong. I trained hard to go out there and do that Saturday.

“Gervonta is the best opponent I’ve faced. He’s the strongest fighter I’ll have faced. The Abner Mares and Carl Frampton fights were great experience for this kind of fight. I learned a lot from those four fights and since then I’ve learned a lot more.

“It would mean the world to me to become a five-division champion. It would be another dream come true. I would put the Santa Cruz last name right up there with the best.

“Gervonta is a big guy and I know he’s going to come hit hard. But I’ve trained with bigger guys all camp and I’ve been able to take everything thrown at me.

“The fans want you to go and make it a back and forth war. I know against Gervonta I have to fight smart. I’m going to just try as hard as I can to listen to my father’s advice.

“I definitely took this fight to quiet the critics. People said I didn’t want to fight the big names. So I went after the biggest challenge in the division and that’s Gervonta Davis.

“I leave the opinions to the fans and media. My job is to get the win and give the fans a great fight. I’m going to give it my best and leave it all in the ring.”

CALVIN FORD, Davis’ Trainer

“Camp has been great. It was unbelievable. I really appreciate the work that he put in. I can’t wait to see Tank in the ring. I’m looking forward to great performances from both fighters.

“’Tank’ accomplished a lot of things that I’ve asked him to do, but this is the pinnacle of them all right here. Both of these families have walked the same line with different trails. They both have a chance to become greats with this win.

“Every time I look at ‘Tank’ now, I flash back to those younger years in the gym with him as a child. Now he’s the man I’ve always looked at him to be. He’s a family man, business man and a wonderful fighter. It’s amazing to see one of my boys all grown up.”

JOSÉ SANTA CRUZ, Santa Cruz’s Father and Trainer

“We had a really good training camp and understand the importance of this fight. Leo is fully prepared for this fight on Saturday and I expect him to have a great performance.

“I’m very thankful to be here. I’m so happy to be here with my son for such a big fight and be able to guide him and help him accomplish his dream.

“We know that Davis is a very strong and accomplished fighter. But Leo has just used it to motivate him in the gym every day and you’ll be able to see that on Saturday.”

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Prezidanto, Sports and Event Programming, Showtime Retoj Inc.

“One of the biggest reasons I love boxing is because we get to witness young men, like ‘Tank’ Davis and Leo Santa Cruz, develop and mature right in front of our eyes. This is our ninth fight with ‘Tank’ and 13Th with Leo. We have seen them mature as fighters and we have seen them mature as young men. We’ve seen them struggle, sweat, and triumph. We’ve seen them become fathers.”

“I remember the first time I met ‘Tank’, it was April 2016 En #Va?ingtono, D.C. He was on the non-televised undercard of an Adrien Broner fight. He had already fought, he came over during the telecast and Floyd introduced him. I remember his very words, ‘This is my young fighter. Watch out for this kid.’ And we’ve been watching ever since.

“I remember the first time I met Leo was in June 2012. Shortly before his first world title fight. He was a very humble, quiet, soft spoken, almost shy young men. Very different from the guy that I saw in the ring about 48 hours after that. The point is, we’ve been along for the journey of these young men.

“They have been battling the odds, literally since birth. We were lucky enough to spend time with them during #?IU ALIRAS. They opened their hearts, their minds, and themselves to share their stories. The thing I’ve heard most is that the difficulty about this fight is not whether people want to watch it or whether they’re going to buy it, it’s who they’re going to root for. Because if you know these young men’s stories, what they’ve gone through, and what they’ve experienced, it is incredible.

“The bottom line is in these two young men we have two of the most accomplished and popular young fighters in the sport today. Leo has been a champion almost consistently since 2012. ‘Tank’ had sellouts or near sellouts in Los Angeles, Baltimore and Atlanta, just last year. We have got these two accomplished young men fighting on Saturday night. You have to respect their journey, where they come from, and respect the teams that come around him.

“We do know what’s going to happen on Saturday night. Leo is going to come into the ring, throw a lot of punches and show an activity rate that’s unlike just about anybody else in the sport. ‘Tank’ is going to show the power, rapido, and the athleticism that has made him one of the fastest rising young stars that we’ve seen in sport in some time. Beyond that, it will be up to them, just like it’s been up to them for their entire lives.”

Sergey LIPINETS: “WE NEVER MISSED A BEAT IN PREPARATION, EVEN WITH OPPONENT CHANGE”

Former World Champion Lipinets Battles Unbeaten
Custio Clayton for Interim IBF Welterweight Title
Viva sur SHOWTIME? Sabato, Oktobro 24 Headlining a
Premier Boxing Champions Event

NOV-JORKO (Oktobro 20, 2020) – Even with a change in date and then opponent, Eksa monda #?ampiono Sergey Lipinets remains supremely confident in his training camp and overall preparations as he prepares to take on unbeaten Custio Clayton for the Interim IBF Welterweight Title live on SHOWTIME this Saturday, Oktobro 24 (9 P.M. ET/6 p.M. PT) headlining a Premier Boxing Champions event.

“We never missed a beat in preparation, even with the opponent change,” said Lipinets. “My fight with Kudratillo Abdukakhorov was on and off for so long that I already had an idea that he was going to be forced to back out, so I wasn’t shocked. I don’t really care, Tamen. Whoever I have to fight I’m ready to fight, so I didn’t consider backing out of fighting for even one second.”

Lipinets credits his trainer, the renowned Joe Goossen, for helping his fighter mentally through the changes, in addition to the physical training they have undertook heading into the fight.

“Having Joe Goossen is like having a psychiatrist as well as a trainer,” said Lipinets. “He’s been extremely helpful about how to approach all of this. Joe helped me stay calm and understand that something good can always come from a bad or difficult situation, and because of that, I never lost focus.”

Clayton is a Canadian Olympian with an unblemished pro resume heading into this showdown. While Lipinets notes that there are differences in the fighting styles between Abdukakhorov and Clayton, none of it changes his intent on October 24.

“I know that Clayton has a great amateur background,” said Lipinets. “I’ve checked out his style, and the main difference is that Abdukakhorov is more active and Clayton is more accurate. Abdukakhorov is also a little more aggressive and Clayton is more patient.

“I don’t think one is tougher or easier than the other. I think that anyone fighting at this level is a difficult opponent. Abdukakhorov moves around more and can be more awkward with the different styles he uses. Both are very tough guys, but I’m ready for Clayton and focused only on him at this point.”

Despite his sole focus on Clayton, Lipinets knows that this fight brings a big opportunity to make a loud proclamation to the rest of the stacked welterweight division with a big performance to capture the interim IBF title.

“I’m prepared to make one statement – I belong here,” said Lipinets. “I want to fight the best. I want to make my imprint on this sport and build my legacy. I’ve had to do it the hard way, but I’m not complaining. I fought for my first championship in just my 13Th pro fight. I believe that I belong right there at the top of this sport. People need to start mentioning my name with the top guys and after this fight they’ll have to. You can’t look past me anymore.”

JUAN HERALDEZ TRAINING CAMP NOTES

“On October 31 everyone will see what I’m capable of,? – Heroldo

Unbeaten Contender Juan Heraldez Faces Former World Champion Regis Prograis in SHOWTIME PPV? ActionSaturday, Oktobro 31 Live From the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas in an Event Presented by Premier Boxing Champions

NOV-JORKO – Oktobro 16, 2020 – Nevenkita supermalpeza defianto Juan Heraldez is deep into training camp and shared insights into his preparations as he nears a showdown against former champion Regis “Rougarou” Prograis Sabate, Oktobro 31 live on SHOWTIME PPV in a Premier Boxing Champions event headlined by Gervonta Davis vs. Leo Santa Cruz live from Alamodome in San Antonio.

“It’s been a long eight-week camp preparing for Prograis,” said Heraldez. “We’re fighting a different style of fighter, which is a good thing because he’s the type of fighter who comes to fight. A style like this makes it easier for me to train and prepare.

“Prograis has power, but you have to land it and that’s where my defense comes into play. My defense has always been a factor and it’s something we always tweak and find ways for me to be sharper. On paper his credentials are up there, but in the ring all of that goes out the door. When the bell rings, I’m not thinking about him being a former world champion. I fight and get the job done.”

Heraldez has adapted to the changes produced by training during the pandemic, and has been able to keep focused throughout camp. He credits the infrastructure at the Mayweather Boxing Club, where he trains in Las Vegas, for helping keep things running smoothly as he prepares to face his toughest opponent to date.

“The pandemic has had a slight effect on camp like it has with everything else,” said Heraldez. “There are so many protocols and safety measures, so you can’t just rotate sparring partners as easily as you could before. Adjusting to wearing a mask in the gym and getting tested constantly are things you learn to get used to. The Mayweather Boxing Club has done a great job of keeping the gym clean and safe for all of us. A lot of my stablemates are here in Las Vegas preparing for big fights, so it’s a great feeling knowing that we can come to a gym where safety is the top priority.”

The unbeaten Heraldez will return to the ring after fighting former world champion Argenis Mendez to a draw in May 2019 Sur SHOWTIME. Heraldez had put together an impressive string of victories dating back to a 2017 triumph over then-unbeaten Jose Miguel Borrego, and included a knockout win over Eddie Ramirez in February 2019 leading into the Mendez fight. Heraldez has continued to fine-tune his arsenal heading into the Prograis fight.

“My team and I have been working on various things such as my jab, but most importantly where I am in the ring at all times,” said Heraldez. “My ring awareness has elevated this camp. My coach and I keep things old school, we don’t have a strength and conditioning coach, we work on the basics and get better at them each camp. Boxing is simple. Stick and move and don’t get hit. The training I get from Coach Otis Pimpleton covers so many things such as cardio, technique, ring IQ, ktp, so my job is just to listen to my team and trust them when I’m in camp and in the ring on fight night.”

While Heraldez is looking to improve on the draw in his last fight, Prograis will be seeking to bounce back from his first career defeat, a memorable 140-pound unification clash with Josh Taylor. With both fighters hungry for a win on October 31, Heraldez expects an exciting night for fans.

“On fight night, both of our styles are going to make for great action,” said Heraldez. “We both bring a lot to the ring. We’re both fighting to be the best, but on October 31, everyone will see what I’m capable of.”

“I’m very happy to have this opportunity,” said Clayton. “This is exactly the type of fight me and my team have been asking for. My preparation has been very good. This might seem like it’s last-minute, but I am more than ready for whatever Lipinets brings on October 24.”

DIEGO MAGDALENO TRAINING CAMP QUOTES AND VIDEO

Superegaj Boksaj #?ampiono

NOV-JORKO – Oktobro 9, 2020 – Former world title challengerDiego Magdalenoshared insights into his training camp as he nears an IBF Lightweight Title Eliminator bout againstIsaac Cruzthat kicks off SHOWTIME PPV (9 P.M. ET/6 p.M. PT) action on Saturday, Oktobro 31 from the Alamodome in San Antonio in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.
 
“This is my second fight working with ‘Bones’ Adams out of his gym in Las Vegas,” said Magdaleno. “I’ve actually known him since I was nine-years-old, so I consider him like my best friend. I trust him with my life. I’ve spent some time training for this fight in Scipio, Utah too, pulling hay bales and doing all sorts of interesting drills. I’ve gotten in some good sparring here in Vegas, and I even went out to California for some sparring, Tro.
 
“I was on one of the last fight cards pre-pandemic, and I’m honored to be on the first fight card with a live crowd since the pandemic began. It’s been a hectic year, but I’m happy with where things are for me heading into this fight. Coach Adams has been doing a great job with training, but he also handles my strength and conditioning. He’s got a huge gym with a lot of motivated fighters and it’s great to be around that kind of atmosphere. And my fiancé has been handling my nutrition for my last four fights. Tiel, it’s great to have her involved also.”
 
Magdaleno returns to action after upsetting Austin Dulay in Dulay’s hometown of Nashville, Tenn. en februaro, dropping him in round seven on his way to a 10-round unanimous decision. He credits his team in training camp for the impressive performance against Dulay.
 
“I’ve always taken pride in being a professional, but I learned that I can be very dangerous with the right team around me,” said Magdaleno. “I went into that fight kind of being considered a steppingstone for Dulay, but I showed that I’m still a strong fighter. People counted me out and they made a mistake. I’m just super happy that I found Coach Adams and got a proper team organized around me. I was able to change people’s minds with just one fight. Now I’m in a title eliminator, and with a win on October 31, I’ll have my third shot at a world title.”
 
The 33-year-old has come up short in his most high-profile fights to date, dropping title bouts to Terry Flanagan and Roman Martinez, in addition to a 2019 loss against current lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez. With those experiences and an improved training structure around him, Magdaleno believes the lessons he’s taken from those fights will be instrumental going forward.
 
“The biggest thing that I’ve learned is to stay calm,” said Magdaleno. “When I start thinking too far ahead, that’s when things go wrong. Coach Adams has a great way of keeping me grounded and composed. He knows how to simplify things for me and communicate exactly what I need to do, which makes it less stressful for me. And we’ve done some other things, like correcting my footwork and the angles that I use.”
 
In the 22-year-old Cruz, Magdaleno will be opposed by a fast-rising and exciting Mexican fighter looking to make a mark in his biggest fight to date. With an 11-year age gap, Magdaleno plans to use his extensive experience to his advantage on October 31.
 
“Cruz is something I’ve seen before,” said Magdaleno. “I’ve fought lots of Mexican-style fighters like him who don’t have a lot of technical skill but possess a come-forward style. Tiel, I think I’ll be able to go back to what I know. I’ll just have to stay fluid and pick Cruz apart. He’s a guy who likes to fight on the inside and throw lots of overhand punches and hooks. I’ll break him down like I did my last opponent.”
 
Magdaleno will look to continue his career renaissance against Cruz and put himself back on track for another world title opportunity. With all that he’s been through during his career, Magdaleno remains highly motivated to prove critics wrong and achieve his goal of becoming a world champion.
 
“What I know is that when everyone counts you out, you just have to believe in yourself,” said Magdaleno. “When I decide to hang up the gloves, it’ll be because I want to, not because others say I should. I have my confidence back now and I’m very happy with where I’m going
. Being one shot away from the title that I dreamed of as a child is a huge motivating factor for me. And I fight for my family, Tro. I’m a different person now. I’m more mature and I think I’ll be able to prove that to people in this fight.”

SERGEY LIPINETS TRAINING CAMP QUOTES

“I’ll have a plan for whatever he brings to the table and get the win however I have to!?

Former World Champion Lipinets Battles Unbeaten
Kudratillo Abdukakhorov for Interim IBF Welterweight Title
Viva sur SHOWTIME? Sabato, Oktobro 24 Headlining a
Premier Boxing Champions Event

NOV-JORKO – Oktobro 8, 2020 – Iama mondĉampiono Sergey Lipinets has not let anything, be it the pandemic or a change in fight date, distract him from preparations for his battle against unbeaten Kudratillo Abdukakhorov,as they fight for interim IBF Welterweight Title headlining action live on SHOWTIME Saturday, Oktobro 24 (9 P.M. ET/6 p.M. PT) en evento prezentita de ĉefaj boksaj ĉampionoj.

“I took the change in date like a champion, and I’ll do the same thing on October 24 that I would have done on October 10,” said Lipinets. “I’m very strong mentally, so there’s really no issue with the timing change. Training camp has been going great and I’m 100% ready for this one. I’ve been working with Joe Goossen and sparring with a lot of great fighters including Rashidi Ellis and Ronald Cruz.”

The 31-year-old Lipinets credits the renowned coach Goossen for the level of performance he has shown in the ring in the two years that they’ve worked together. The union between Lipinets and Goossen followed Lipinets’ run at 140-pounds, which saw him defeat Akihiro Kondo for the IBF Super Lightweight Championship on SHOWTIME in 2017 before losing the title by decision to Mikey Garcia the following year.

“My progression is totally attributed to working with Joe Goossen,” said Lipinets. “It’s like going from a high school education, then to college, and now I feel like I’m in graduate school. I’ve learned more with Joe than in all my previous time in the sport.

“Joe Goossen has taught me a lot about the short game and working on the inside. He’s also helped me with my lateral movement and made me way more durable. That’s all combined with my power increasing at 147 Funtoj. I’m ready to show all of it on October 24.”

Lipinets added two knockout victories to his ledger in 2019. In March he stopped two-division champion Lamont Peterson in a memorable firefight before blasting out Jayar Inson in the second-round in July. A win on October 24 not only puts Lipinets in line for the winner of the matchup between IBF and WBC Welterweight Champion Errol Spence Jr. and two-division champion Danny Garcia, but also will help solidify his spot amongst the best in the star-studded 147-pound weight class. Tamen, these potential high-profile matchups don’t take anything away from his focus heading into his upcoming fight.

“I don’t really think about the other top welterweight fighters like Errol Spence Jr., Manny Pacquiao, Danny Garcia, Keith Thurman, Shawn Porter or Terence Crawford,” said Lipinets. “In order to get to them, I have to win on October 24. Then everything else will fall into place. The top guys will fight me when they have to. That’s been the story of my career. Nobody has fought me because they wanted to, but usually because they had to.”

The unbeaten Abdukakhorov presents a challenge that Lipinets embraces. Abdukakhorov enters this fight after a victory over former champion Luis Collazo in addition extensive amateur experience that Lipinets knows will make him a formidable opponent when they square off October 24.

“Nobody is at the top of the IBF rankings for nothing,” said Lipinets. “Abdukakhorov had a successful amateur career with a lot of fights. He moves fast and knows his way around the ring. I know he’s tough, strong and he’ll do his best to stay in there with me. But I’m going to box him, fight at a distance if I have to, and pile up points against him. I expect a great fight. I’ll have a plan for whatever he brings to the table and get the win however I have to!?
