“E matau ana matou te haere i te reira hei taiao kaikiri, whawhai i roto i waiwai i tona iāri, engari te inaianei ia te toa me ki e riro ia ha faingamālie i roto i tona korero taitara kōwhiringa (ki te whawhai e hiahia ana ia, te wahi e hiahia ana ia). Whiwhi ia ki te oaoa i te hunga whai wāhitanga, engari e te haere mai e ahau i roto i te wahi.

 

“O te akoranga, Au māia taea e ahau te riro i te taitara ahau. Whakaaro ahau titiro te iwi i toku record me whakaaro tenei ranei e, but I don’t feel they understand my entire career, the things I have gone through and overcome, the different angles of boxing that more than meets the eye.

 

Nothing against Deontay, who has worked hard to get to where he is, but he doesn’t represent the kind of fighter, i roto i te whānui, that I am. I’ve always had to fight and struggle from fight to fight. I never had a true training camp situation. I’m not saying he had things easy, but I had to work and juggle things to keep going. Only the fighters in my situation can understand it.

 

I’ve been boxing for nine years. I have a BS and Master’s Degree and I’m in my fourth year teaching kids with disabilities. Along with boxing, this is what I do. This is who I am, and I am not ashamed of who I am either. I’m proud. If they want to consider me an underdog, pai. But I’m also the guy who got knocked out in his first pro fight and battled back to where I am now and I’m fighting for the championship.

 

What people don’t know about me is that my career has been all about determination, strength and struggles. Other boxers, including Bernard Hopkins, lost their first fights and went on to win a world title. I’ve learned a lot from my two losses and now I have the confidence to accomplish anything.

 

Bottom line is I am not trying to convince anybody who I am, I just want people to see who the real Eric Molina isthat I am more than what my record on paper indicates. I was NABF champion for a while but could never get a fight so I was dropped from the rankings. It was like I had to start over again. But I stuck to it, and with everything else I had going on outside the ring, things I had to put aside for this fight, still managed to get into the position I’m in now.

 

I don’t think there’s ever been a heavyweight contender like me. Where I train, there are no other real heavyweights except for one or two. I have to fly guys in to help me work with the guys already here. I’ve been in camps with Bermane Stiverne; I often had to go to where the sparring was just to get the work.

 

I’ve never been in a spot where things have been easy for me in boxing. I never had the odds on my side, the tools, the resources. But I still made it this far and want to go farther.

 

I think the first round is very important. I expect that from the get-go that he will feel like he could hurt me, but I also feel very strongly that I could hurt him. So it is very important to be ready for that first bell.

 

“Tenei te haere ki te waiho i te whawhai nui, much, much better than many may be expecting, and I am ready.

 

Jose Pedraza, Unbeaten Junior Lightweight Contender

As a Puerto Rican, every time I fight, I fight for the honor of my people. Na, i runga i Pipiri 13, I won’t only be fighting to win a world title, I’ll be fighting for Cidra, Puerto Rico and for all the Puerto Ricans out there watching me. Puerto Rico needs another champion and I’m here to deliver and make my people proud. I cannot afford to let them down. I won’t let Puerto Rico down. I’ll come back a champion.

 

This is a great opportunity fighting on a big show on SHOWTIME. It has taken hard work, dedication and long gym work to obtain this big exposure on SHOWTIME.


My last fight against Michael Farenas was very important to me because that fight was a title eliminator and, by winning, it opened the door to this fight and finally my dream of becoming world champion is close to arriving.


It has been a long and hard training campintensive. We opened camp in Las Vegas in December. This camp has been special because it is for the world championship.


Andrey Klimov is a strong boxer, always going forward, the jab and straight right are his best shots. The only thing I see is he is strong and has good fitness. From his last fight against Terrence Crawford I could see that he has problems when he fights a left-handed boxer with good movement. I will be working in side steps and with speed.


I hope that he comes well prepared for me. We must do our best to give the fans a good show. IPipiri 13, I will be a new champ and after that I want to make two defenses and move to 135.

UNDEFEATED MIDDLEWEIGHT PROSPECT DOMINIC WADE TAKES ON TOUGHEST CHALLENGE OF HIS CAREER IN FORMER WORLD CHAMP SAM SOLIMAN FRIDAY, JUNE 26 ON SHOWTIME®

ShoBox: Ko te New Generation Tripleheader

Ora I 10:35 p.m. AND/PT From Little Creek Casino Resort in Shelton, Horoi.

 

“My time has arrived…I’m ready for the next level.” – Dominic Wade

“My road to regaining the world title begins on June 26 against Dominic Wade.” – Sam Soliman

NEW YORK (Kia 27, 2015) – Young undefeated middleweight prospectDominic "Rama Out" Wade will take on the toughest opponent of his career when he faces former world champion Sam "Kingi" Soliman i roto i te hui matua o ShoBox: Ko te Generation New i runga i Rāmere, Pipiri 26, ora i runga i SHOWTIME i Little Creek Casino Resort i roto i te Shelton, Horoi.

 

Wade (17-0, 12 Koó), o Washington, D.C., and Soliman (44-12, 1 NC, 18 Koó), o Melbourne, Ahitereiria, will clash in the 10-round middleweight main event of the TGB Promotions tripleheader. In other televised bouts, former Marine and 2012 U.S. Olympic Team Captain Jamel"Semper Fi" Hopu (11-0, 7 Koó), of Rockville Centre, N.Y., and 19-year-old former amateur standout and unbeaten super welterweight Erickson "Hammer" Lubin (10-0, 7 Koó), o Orlando fla., will be featured against opponents to be determined in separate bouts.

 

Ki te ikuna, Wade will begin to transition from promising prospect to legitimate contender in his quest to become the next ShoBox graduate to win a world championship. Ki te rā, 61 ShoBox alums have captured world titles.

 

While Wade is unbeaten, Soliman is vastly more experienced, having competed in four world championship fights. He held the IBF Middleweight World Championship before suffering a debilitating knee injury and losing via unanimous decision to Jermain Taylor in his first title defense last October. Soliman, who was leading on the judges’ scorecards at the time of the injury, will make his first start since losing the 160-pound title.

 

“This is a great opportunity for me to face a former world champion,” Wade said. “While he’s more experienced I truly believe my time has arrived and I plan to show the boxing world that I’m ready for the next level.”

 

“I know what it takes to be a world champion, the sacrifices needed to endure, the battles that need to be won. My road to regaining the world title begins on Pipiri 26 against Dominic Wade,” said Soliman.

 

“We’re very excited to work once again with the terrific SHOWTIME and Little Creek Casino Resort teams on this exciting fight card,"Ka mea Tom Brown o TGB Whakatairanga. “Wade vs. Soliman is an excellent cross-roads bout. I tua atu, Lubin and Herring are two of the best prospects in boxing.”

 

Wade, 25, ka hanga i tona 2015 debut and third appearance on the network. In his first ShoBox fight – and first 10-rounderhe stepped up in class and won a close but clear decision over Nick Brinson i roto i te Pipiri 2014. The aggressive-minded 5-foot-11½-inch Wade, a top amateur before going pro in March 2009, Ko 6-0 with four knockouts since returning to the ring in February 2013 after a two-year layoff due to promotional problems.

 

A well-conditioned, power puncher who is steadily ascending in the world rankings, Wade’s four stoppages have come inside two rounds (one in the first, three in the second). Wade, who had over 160 runaruna whawhai, is coming off a second-round TKO over Eddie Hunter whakamutunga Dec. 20, i roto i te Shelton.

 

The 5-foot-8½-inch Soliman keeps a relentless, almost non-stop pace and delivers punches from odd angles. Tough and durable, Soliman can be very awkward and he is always well-conditioned. This combination makes Soliman a very difficult fighter to face. Haere ia ki 0-2 in WBA 168-pound world title fights before dropping a notch in weight to capture the IBF Middleweight World Championship with a decisive 12-round decision over Pirika Sturm in a rematch on May 31, 2014.

 

The 41-year-old Soliman, who lost the title in his first injury-marred defense against Taylor, Ko 9-1-1 with one No Contest since May 2008. A former kickboxing world champion, Soliman has been knocked out just once – in 2007 by then WBA Super Middleweight World Champion Anthony Mundine. The veteran has had a successful yet unusual 18-year career that began with a four-round fight but then followed with three straight 12-rounders (all went the distance) in three different weight divisions over a period of five months.

 

The 5-foot-10-inch Hopu ko te 2012 United States National Champion at 141 pounds and captained the 2012 U.S. Olympic Games boxing team. The 29-year-old turned pro in December 2012 and has remained active since with five fights in 2013 and four in 2014. Hopu, who will be making his ShoBox tuatahi, is making his second start of this year, coming off a lopsided eight-round decision over Hector Marengo i roto i te Maehe.

 

Herring served nine years in the Marine Corps including two tours of duty in Iraq. The Long Island native enlisted about a year after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Herring considered giving up the sport multiple times, particularly after the death of his infant daughter, Ariyanah, due to sudden infant death syndrome in 2009 – three years to the day before the Olympic Games opening ceremony in London. But he was persuaded by coaches and teammates to stick with it.

 

I 19 tau o te ao, Lubin is one of the youngest boxers to appear onShoBox (Francisco “Panchito” Bojado, i 18, was the youngest.). Lubin is a heralded blue-chip prospect who will be making his ShoBox te waiata me te 11th tīmata mai i tahuri pro i Whiringa 2013. A southpaw with good punching power, skills and movement, Lubin will be making his third start this year and his fourth scheduled eight-round bout.

 

Lubin had a remarkable amateur career. Ko ia te 2013 National Golden karapu toa i 152 pauna, te 2012 National PAL Champion at 141, te 2012 Junior Olympic National Champion at 138 pounds and the 2011 National Junior Olympic Champion at 132 pauna.

Wilder, the first United States-born heavyweight champion since Shannon Briggs won the WBO belt in November 2006, was born and raised in Tuscaloosa.

This will be the first fight in his home state since August 2012.

 

Wilder started boxing at the age of 21 after his daughter Naieya (pronounced nie-EE-ya) was born with spina bifida. Despite his late start in boxing, Wilder would go on to represent the United States in the 2008 Olympic Games, i reira riro ia he mētara parahi.

Molina, who resides in Weslaco, Texas, is a big slugger, rugged and strong. He has good skills and movement and, like Wilder, got a belated start in boxing but has had only two defeats as a professional.

 

The Drummer Boyis on a roll, coming off five consecutive victories. Molina’s matchup with Wilder will be his first shot at a world title.

I roto i te uiuiraa, Mayweather addresses the claim made by Pacquiao’s camp that the Philippine fighter sustained an injury to his right shoulder that hampered his ability during the bout. Mayweather also discusses the possibility of a rematch with Pacquiao and fighting beyond his next scheduled event in September.

 

“Absolutely not,” Mayweather told Gray when asked if he could detect a problem with Pacquiao’s shoulder during the bout. “He was fast. His left hand was fast. His right hand was fast and he was throwing them both fast and strong.

 

“Excuses, excuses, excuses,” continued Mayweather, who remains undefeated in his professional career with 48 toa, no losses and no draws.

 

“I’m not going to buy into the bull… and I don’t want the public to buy into the bull—-. He lost. He knows he lost. I lost a lot of respect for him after all of this.”

 

Mayweather goes on to address the possibility of a rematch.

 

“Did I text Stephen A. Smith and say I will fight him again? Yeah, but I change my mind,” said Mayweather. “At this particular time, mahi e kore e, because he’s a sore loser and he’s a coward… If you lost, accept the loss and say, ‘Mayweather, you were the better fighter.’”

The interview will be immediately followed by the premiere of Roto Mayweather vs. PACQUIAO Epilogue, the acclaimed original documentary series from SHOWTIME Sports.

Floyd Mayweather

“Te ia [Manny Pacquiao] is a hell of a fighter. I take my hat off to him. Now I see why he’s one of the guys that are at the pinnacle of the sport of boxing.

 

I knew he was going to push it and win some rounds. He had some moments in the fight, but I kept him on the outside, I was a smart fighter. I wasn’t getting hit with a lot of shots until I sat in the pocket, that’s when he would land a lot of shots.

 

“I matou te mea i tatou ki te mahi i te po nei and I’m truly blessed.

 

I’m a calculated fighter, he’s a tough competitor.

 

I have to take it off to my dad, without him I wouldn’t be where I’m at.

 

He’s a very awkward fighter, so I had to take my time and watch him close.

 

“Katoa 47 fights before I got to this fight played a major key in my career.

 

Manny Pacquiao is a true champion and we both did our best te po nei.

 

When the history books are written, this fight will have been worth the wait.

 

I have one more fight. My last fight is in September and then it’s time for me to hang it up. I’m almost 40 years old now. I’ve been in the sport 19 years and have been a champion for 18 tau, I’m truly truly blessed.

 

 

MANNY PACQUIAO

“Ko te he whawhai pai; I thought I won the fight.

 

He didn’t do anything. He was always moving outside.

 

I got him many times, I saw his punches.

 

He was moving around too much, it wasn’t easy throwing punches at him. If he would’ve stayed in one place then I could’ve thrown punches.

 

I was cutting him and countering. I wanted to fight.

 

I was able to handle his power; he’s not strong like previous opponents like [Anthony] Margarito.

 

I thought I was up in the fight, so that’s why I didn’t attack harder in the 11th a 12th rauna.

 

He’s not bigger than me, it’s not about the size. The size doesn’t matter. I’ve fought guys bigger than him and had no problem.
