NEW YORK - Januar 16, 2019 – A 10-round clash between undefeated super lightweight prospects will headline ShoBox: Die neue Generation when Uzbekistan’s power-puncher Shohjahon Ergashev takes on Mykal Fox Friday, Februar 15 live on SHOWTIME from Kansas Star Casino in Mulvane, Mai.

The second of two February editions of the prospect developmental series will feature four fighters with a combined record of 71 wins against just one loss. Undefeated super middleweight prospect Ronald Ellis will take on DeAndre Ware headlines a three-fightShoBoxtelecast on February 1.

Im Februar 15 Zusammenarbeit vorgestellten Kampf, 28-jahre altShoBox veteran Jesse Angel Hernandez returns to face WBO No. 4-ranked Thomas Ward in what will be the toughest test of his career in a 10-round super bantamweight bout.

“Shohjahon Ergashev is one of the hardest punchers in all of boxing. He will be facing a challenge in the undefeated skilled, determined fighter in Mykal Fox. A great fight the winner of which will cement himself as one of the best in the Jr. Welterweight division,” said Dmitriy Salita, President of Salita Promotions. “The co main event is one of the best fights in the super bantamweight division between two proven world title contenders. A real cross roads fight with lots on the line for the winner to emerge as the new dominant name in the talent packed super Bantamweight division.”

The 27-year-old Ergashev (15-0, 14 KOs) is a former member of the Uzbek national team where he won 202 seines 216 amateur bouts. A decorated amateur, Ergashev owns a win over Uzbekistan’s Shakhram Giyasov, a silver medalist in the welterweight division at the 2016 Rio Olympics.

Ergashev, who started his pro career by registering 11 aufeinanderfolgende Knockouts, made hisShoBox debut in January 2018, handing then-unbeaten and top-10 ranked 140-pound prospect Sonny Fredrickson the only loss of his career with a third-round TKO. The southpaw slugger, who was named one of ESPN’s top prospects of 2018, trains in Detroit under Javan “Sugar” Hill Steward and Rick Phillips at the famed Kronk Gym in Detroit.

“I’m very excited to fight on SHOWTIME again,Sagte Ergashev. “Everyone says Mykal Fox is my toughest opponent to date, but that doesn’t concern me. It actually excites me because when I knock him out, just like I knocked out Sonny Fredrickson, all of the champions in my weight class will know I am coming for them soon. It’s going to be Shoh-time in 2019!"

Unlike his opponent, Fuchs, 23, had a rocky amateur journey amassing 40 Siege und 60 losses—two of his wins came over undefeated top prospect Lamont Roach. Fuchs, 6-Fuß 3 ½-inches from Forestville, Md., admitted that he was not disciplined and fully committed to the sweet science in his teenage years, but once he turned pro in 2014 everything changed and boxing became his way of life. Seitdem, he has defeated all of his 19 Gegner, five by way of knockout. Fuchs, who is promoted by King Promotions, owns victories over the likes of former world champion DeMarcus “Chop Chop” Corley, Ricardo Garcia and Anthony Mercado.

Fox comes from a family of boxers. He is trained by his father Troy and his older brother and formerShoBox fighter Alantez (24-1-1, 11 KOs) is a 160-pound prospect whose only defeat came by the hands of Demetrius Andrade.

“It’s been a dream of mine to fight onShoBox. It has catapulted the careers of some of my favorite fighters,", Sagte Fox, who is making his debut on the series. “I’m hoping it will catapult my career too.

“My opponent is a good fighter. He has good feet, good speed and great power. This is going to be a fight that can potentially steal the show. I look forward to seeing how our styles matched up.”

Hernandez (12-1, 7 KOs) broke onto the scene in 2017 with back-to-back wins over previously undefeated, top-15 ranked fighters onShoBox– a unanimous decision over Glenn Dezurn and a fifth-round TKO of Vladimir Tikhonov. Hernandez followed up those performances with a split-decision over Ernesto Garza in January 2018. The 28-year-old Hernandez, the youngest of 15 Kinder, war 73-6 as an amateur and took five years off from boxing between 2009 und 2014 to work construction jobs in his hometown of Fort Worth, Texas.

“On February 15, fans can expect to see the best performance from Jesse Hernandez yet,“Sagte Hernandez, who will be making his fourth appearance onShoBox. “It’s been a long time coming and I won’t let this opportunity pass me. A win over Thomas Ward will definitely boost my career and hopefully lead to a world title shot. I know I will have all eyes on me on national television, I must impress. I believe the bantamweight division is mine for the taking. So I will go head and take what’s rightfully mine.”

Ward hails from County Durham in North East England, Wo ist er hat eine Amateuraufzeichnung von zusammengestellt 60 Siegen, just four losses. The 24-year-old turned professional in 2012 im Alter von 17 und 2017, he had won 20 straight fights and the British super bantamweight title. Derzeit auf Platz Nr. 4 by the WBO, Ward hopes a win in his U.S. debut will set him up for a world title shot.

“This is a really good fight,", Sagte Ward. “I’m looking forward to it and a win will put me in place for a world title fight, which is exactly what I want. It’s great to be boxing on SHOWTIME, I can’t wait and I hope for many more opportunities to be fighting on the network in the future.”

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Wednesday in Las Vegas:

Manny Pacquiao

“I feel so blessed and happy because of the excitement around this fight. It’s come from the fans here in the U.S. and media all over the world. I want to go out there and make all the people happy.

“The knockout in my last fight felt good. It felt like my younger days against Ricky Hatton, Miguel Cotto und andere. That fight was a big challenge for me to recover from the fight against Jeff Horn. People said that my career was done. But I never got discouraged, I just worked hard and made the knockout against Lucas Matthysse happen.

“These days I don’t only train my body, but also my mind. I’m a Senator, so my mind is very busy. I also play chess regularly and read books to keep my mind sharp.

“People writing me off after the Jeff Horn fight was good for me. I’m not mad at anyone who thought that. It just became a challenge and a test to me of whether or not I could still show my best.

“Being back here at MGM Grand makes me so happy. It’s an honor to be in this position. I remember my first fight here in the U.S. was at MGM Grand. I will never forget that moment and now I get to come back here and do it again.

“I know he is going to counter me but we’re ready for that. What happened in the Juan Manuel Marquez fight will not happen again. It was a mistake and I learned that mistake. We’ve worked on that in this training camp. I am prepared for Broner’s style.

“This is a challenge because it is my first fight as a 40-year-old. I have something to prove to everyone about what that means. Age is just a number. What matters is how you prepare and that you’re working hard.

“I don’t need to dislike my opponent to want a knockout. I’m just doing my job in the ring. Wenn der Knockout kommt, es kommt. We’re hoping to have that opportunity Saturday. I have to pressure him to make him open up. Wherever he goes, Ich werde da sein.

“I’ve always stayed disciplined throughout my years in boxing. I’m always making sure everything is in order and on point during my workouts. That plus cross-training with activities like basketball has helped me stay in this position all these years.”

Adrien Broner

“I’m not up here to talk a lot of trash. I’ve put in the work. Es ist Zeit zu kämpfen. Nachdem ich gewonnen habe, everything is going to be different.

“People are talking a lot about Pacquiao fighting Floyd Mayweather again, but I’m pretty sure Floyd is retired. I feel like people are trying to throw me to the wolves and overlook me.

“He doesn’t remind me of any past opponents just like I’m not going to remind him of anyone he’s fought. He’s never fought anyone like me. Every fighter has similarities, but truly every fighter is different. If I remind him of Floyd Mayweather, I hope his arm doesn’t hurt after this one.

“Look at my last five fights. I’ve fought world champion after world champion. I don’t duck any fights. I don’t care how many weight classes he’s won titles in.

“I’m not in awe of any fighter, especially Manny Pacquiao. I hope he’s in awe of me. I’m a one of a kind fighter too. I’ve made history in this sport.

“I just have to go out and win this fight, then everything is going to start going my way. Samstag Nacht, Ich werde siegen. This is a defining moment in my career and it’s going to be one of the biggest nights of my life.

“Pacquiao hasn’t fought me so I’m not worried about what he says about me right now. He’s going to have a different outlook after he fights me Saturday night.

“I’m going to turn Las Vegas into a big block party after I win on Saturday night. It’s going to change my career.

“Manny Pacquiao has done a lot for the sport. I’m going to beat him up and have a drink with him afterward. I grew up in boxing and I know what’s going on. It’s a business, but don’t get it twisted, I’m going to dominate and win.

“This is going to be a hell of a fight. I’ve trained so hard and I want everyone to know that I play around a lot, but when that bell rings, Ich werde bereit sein,. I didn’t come here to lose or lay down. I came here to get this victory. Real talk.”

BUBOY FERNANDEZ, Pacquiao’s Co-Trainer

“I’m very thankful to this great team that we have that has prepared Manny for this challenge. I know that we worked very hard for this. I cannot fly without wings, but I can bring the belt back to the Philippines.

“Manny has trained hard and we expect a good fight. This is the hardest I’ve seen him train and it will be seen in the ring Saturday night”

Freddie Roach, Pacquiao’s Co-Trainer

“We’ve trained really hard for this fight. Manny is looking really good and is in tremendous shape. I’m sure Adrien is also because they’re both great fighters. I wish both men luck and may the best man win.”

KEVIN CUNNINGHAM, Broner’s Co-Trainer

“We’ve had a tremendous training camp. Adrien is ready to go. Everyone who knows me, knows that all I have in this world in my word, and I don’t break it for nobody. I’m giving you my word that Adrien will put on a spectacular performance on Saturday night.

“I’m guaranteeing that Adrien will send Manny back to the Senate, beltless, without the WBA title. I guarantee it.”

MIKE STAFFORD, Broner’s Co-Trainer

“Adrien came to me when he was 55 pounds and seven-years-old. He was an underdog then and he came back day after day. People thought he was a bad kid, but I told people that I saw something in him.

“Freddie Roach didn’t know who Adrien was years ago when we were getting ready to work with the Olympic team together. But he got to know Adrien, and on Saturday night, Manny is going to know him too. That’s for sure.”

JOE RAMOS, COO of Manny Pacquiao Promotions

“We are honored, humbled and proud to be a part of this amazing event. This will be Manny’s 20th fight in Las Vegas and we’ve been treated amazingly throughout the entire promotion. I’m thankful to all of Team Pacquiao for the work they do and helping make everything run smoothly.

“We all know that Adrien is ready and we expect nothing but the best from him and his team on Saturday night.

“MGM Grand is known for the lion, and Lenny the Lion is right there when you enter the building. Am Samstagabend, Manny will show his heart of a lion for fans all over the world and prove once again that he’s the king of the jungle.”

LEONARD ELLERBE, CEO von Mayweather Promotions

“About three and a half years ago I sat here opposite this great legend in Manny Pacquiao. I’ve studied this man for many years and today he’s still one of the best welterweights in the world. He still has tremendous explosiveness and power, but more importantly the experience to beat any welterweight in the world.

“Pacquiao has been doing this for so many years that we forget how truly great this man is. He’s in a very comfortable position right now. He’s super motivated and thats what is going to make this a great fight on Saturday night.

“Coming into this fight we all know that there have been rumblings about what Adrien needs to do to win this fight. But what I’ve witnessed firsthand this entire promotion, is that this man has dedicated himself 100 Prozent. He’s done everything his coaches have asked of him and he’s exceeded those expectations.

“Adrien Broner is ready, konzentriert, and he’s put in the work. He’s put himself in the best situation to be successful on Saturday night. I expect nothing less than a great virtuoso performance. He didn’t cut one corner this training camp. He wants to prove to everyone, that everything people have said about him can be thrown out the window. He’s coming to show the entire world what he’s all about.”

Ravone LITTLE, CEO of About Billions Promotions

“Adrien trained really hard for this fight. I’d like to thank Kevin Cunningham and Mike Stafford, they put together a great game plan. Adrien will be ready.

“There’s been a lot of talk from Pacquiao’s side about getting a knockout, but you’re the one getting knocked out. You’ve been knocked out, we haven’t.

“This our first time on this stage and in this position and it’s been very enjoyable. Adrien and I have put a lot into this over the last 10-15 Jahre. We’re pulling for our guy 100 percent.”

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Präsident Sport & Event-Programmierung, Showtime Networks Inc.

“I’m not going to come up here and tell you all anything you don’t already know about Manny Pacquiao or Adrien Broner. These are two guys who have operated at the highest level of boxing for years. In Manny’s case, literally decades. But I will remind you of some things.

“Manny Pacquiao is a Hall of Famer, Keine Frage. He’s a boxing legend who’s generous, humble and soft-spoken outside of the ring. But most of all, he takes tough fights. Das Letzte 20 opponents Pacquiao has had have been current, future or former world champions.

“Adrien Broner has faced nine world champions in 37 Karrierekämpfe. He’s obviously demonstrated himself as being an elite fighter. He’s flashy, flamboyant, sometimes outrageous, but he’s always unapologetically himself.

“On Saturday night, everything changes. Pacquiao is no longer soft-spoken and Broner is no longer fun-loving and outgoing. They transform themselves into two of the most athletically gifted and ferocious warriors in our sport. Above all these two guys have heart, which is the rarest thing in this sport.

“Between the two of them, they’ve won titles in 12 Gewichtsverteilung. That’s the third most of all-time, trailing just Mayweather vs. Pacquiao and Pacquiao vs. De La Hoya.

“We know this is an elite fight and these fighters are in elite company. But on Saturday night, none of that matters. It’s not a contest of who has the best resume. This is a high level contest with high stakes between two of the most talented and athletically gifted fighters in the sport today. A win in this fight catapults each of these men to bigger things. It doesn’t get any more significant than that.”

RICHARD STURM, President of Entertainment and Sports for MGM Resorts International

“I’d like to welcome back Manny Pacquiao and Adrien Broner, two of the sport’s best fighters, back to Las Vegas and MGM Grand. Fans are always excited to watch these two fighters compete in the ring and we’re confident that Saturday’s event will kick off another exciting year of sports and entertainment programming for MGM Resorts.

“I’m thankful to all of the people who have helped make this fight happen here in Las Vegas. We look forward to seeing everyone at the MGM Grand Garden Arena Saturday night for this sensational event.”

LAS VEGAS(Januar 15, 2019) – With fight week underway in Las Vegas, former four-division world championAdrien “Das Problem” Bronerhosted a media workout Monday before he battlesManny Pacquiaofor the World Boxing Association Welterweight World Title Saturday, Januar 19 in the main event of a SHOWTIME PPV®event from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Broner, along with trainerKevin Cunningham, have been at Barry’s Boxing in Las Vegas finishing up training camp after spending most of camp in West Palm Beach, Florida preparing to face boxing’s only eight-division world champion in Pacquiao. Here is what they had to say Monday at Barry’s Boxing:

Adrien Broner

“Every fighter is different, but I know if I touch him flush, I’ll put him out. It’s no secret, he’s been to sleep before.

“I’m in shape and ready to go. We had a tremendous training camp. I could have made weight weeks ago. We’re prepared to go out and execute.

“I’ve been here before, and even though I haven’t been in a fight of exactly this magnitude, I’m just treating it like any other fight. He’s another opponent.

“A lot of people are saying that Pacquiao’s age will be a factor, but I’m not looking at it like that. You see guys like Floyd Mayweather who stay undefeated at an older age. I’m just focused on being me. As long as I do what I have to do, Ich werde siegen.

“We’re ready for whatever this fight is going to end up being. It could definitely be a war. I’ve always been an underdog. I came from the trenches and I’m bringing that mentality into the ring.

“I can take over boxing with a win over Pacquiao. There are a lot of great fighters in this sport, but they just don’t bring what I bring to the table. With a win like this, it would put me right where I was always meant to be.

“I’ve always wanted to fight the big names like this and I knew that I just had to keep working hard and the time would come.

“Once that bell rings, I’ll make my adjustments and go ahead and get my victory. I don’t have anything I want to go out and prove. It’s just about winning. That will say everything.”

KEVIN CUNNINGHAM, Broner Trainer

“Preparation has been great. Camp war enorm. Adrien is ready to go and extremely focused for this fight. He came into camp that way and it’s stayed that way.

“We added some things this training camp, because we know he’s fighting a legendary fighter. This is one that he has to have and he realizes it. I expect a spectacular performance.

“I think on Saturday night that Adrien is going to be that guy that everyone expected him to be from day one. It will open a lot of eyes. I believe that we put the work in. I can’t see Adrien coming out of there without a victory.

“The key to victory is for Adrien to just be himself. He has to do what he does best with no hesitation. He’s going to throw the right punches at the right time.

“Pacquiao still throws combinations but they don’t come in as fast or as sharp as they used to. He can throw as many punches as he wants to throw, but if they’re not landing, it doesn’t mean anything.

“I think Adrien is the quicker fighter. Quickness offsets speed, all day, every day. It’s all about being quick enough to time the guy with your hand speed. It’s different than just throwing a bunch of fast punches.”

SHREVEPORT – Januar 12, 2019 – Devin Haney hat am Freitagabend den größten Test seiner jungen Karriere bestandenShoBox: Die neue Generation, Auftakt der 2019 Boxjahr mit einer umwerfenden Leistung und einem einstimmigen Entscheidungssieg über seinen ungeschlagenen ehemaligen südafrikanischen Meister Xolisani Ndongeni live auf SHOWTIME von StageWorks of Louisiana.

Haney (21-0, 13 KOs) erzielte in der zweiten Runde einen Knockdown und trug Ndongeni (25-1, 13 KOs) im letzten Teil des Kampfes mit bestrafenden Körperschüssen niedergeschlagen, um auf den Scorekarten aller drei Richter leicht zu gewinnen, 100-89 zweimal, und 99-90.Sehen Sie sich den Zuschlag in der zweiten Runde anHIER.

Haney sagte Steve Farhood von SHOWTIME nach dem Kampf im Ring, dass er von nun an nur noch als Anwärter gelten möchte. „Ich will diese Top-Jungs,"Er sagte. „Jetzt können sie mich wirklich nicht mehr verleugnen. Das sage ich schon lange, aber jetzt, Ich bin ein Anwärter.“Siehe das Interview nach dem KampfHIER. 

Der Zuschlag kam 1:30 der zweiten Runde, als Haney mit der rechten Hand bündig landete und den unausgeglichenen Ndongeni auf die Leinwand warf. Aber es waren Haneys Körperschüsse, die den sturen Ndongeni zermürbten, der gerade zum zweiten Mal in den Vereinigten Staaten kämpfte. Haney wollte den Kampf unbedingt mit einem Knockout beenden, erzählt sogar seinem Vater Bill Haney zwischen den Runden, "Ich werde ihn ausschalten!"

„Er ist ein großartiger Kämpfer,Sagte Haney, der mit dem Sieg die WBO Intercontinental- und WBC International-Gürtel mit nach Hause nimmt. „Du schaffst es nicht 25-0 ohne jemand zu sein. Ich wusste von Anfang an, dass es ein harter Gegner werden würde. Er ist ein wirklich guter Kämpfer und ich habe ihn nicht ausgewählt. Das war der Gegner, der auftauchte, und Sie kennen mich, Ich lehne niemanden ab. Ich kämpfe gegen jeden, der vor mir steht.“

sagte Farhood 2019 könnte das Jahr werden, in dem Haney um einen WM-Titel kämpft. „Ich bin beeindruckt, weil er eine Seite von sich gezeigt hat, die wir vorher noch nicht gesehen hatten,“, sagte die Internationale Boxhalle von Famer Farhood. „Für einen jungen Kämpfer, obwohl er sehr kompetent ist, Sie möchten, dass er mit allen möglichen Situationen umgeht. Er ging effektiv an den Körper und wenn der Kampf geht 30 Sekunden länger bekommt er den Stillstand. Steht ein WM-Kampf an 2019 eine Möglichkeit? Bestimmt. Nur weil er es ist 20 bedeutet nicht, dass er nicht gut genug ist. Es ist klar, dass es niemanden gibt, der ihn überlisten wird.“

Farhood gab Ndongeni schließlich zum ersten Mal in der siebten Runde eine Runde, als er mit effektiver Körperarbeit die Runde kontrollierte, obwohl er Haney nie sichtbar verletzt oder ihn zu sehr in Gefahr bringt.

Als der Kampf tiefer und tiefer ging, Haney wurde immer stärker. In den letzten beiden Runden, er führte 69-28 auf insgesamt gelandeten Schlägen (16-6 Stöße und 53-22 Leistung). In der Schlussminute der Schlussrunde, Haney landete außerhalb von Ndongeni 23-3 insgesamt verbindet.

„Ich werde mit jedem Kampf stärker und ich spüre, wie meine männliche Stärke entsteht,“, sagte Haney. „Ndongeni ist ein sehr ausdauernder Kämpfer. Ich schreibe ihm sein großes Herz zu, weil er ihn im Kampf gehalten hat. Ich wusste, dass ich der überlegene Kämpfer war. Ich habe allen gezeigt, dass ich kämpfen kann, wenn ich nach vorne komme, Ich kann boxen, Ich kann knallen, Ich mache alles. Ich bin bereit…Niemand hält mich auf.“

In einer Schlacht des ungeschlagenen Rubens, ehemalige dekorierte Amateur-Ruben-Villa (15-0, 5 KOs) übergab den Kolumbianer Ruben Cervera (10-1, 9 KOs) Seine erste Niederlage in seiner Karriere erzielte eine dominierende einstimmige Entscheidung, 80-72 auf allen drei Scorekarten im achtrundigen Co-Feature-Kampf im Federgewicht.Siehe Kampf-HighlightsHIER.

Der 21-jährige zweifache Junioren-Olympiasieger und der 2014 und 2015 Nationaler Golden Gloves Champion von Salinas, Calif., Villa übertraf den langsameren, aber entschlossenen Cervera auf dem Weg zu einem entscheidenden Entscheidungssieg.

„Es fühlte sich gut an, auf der großen Bühne zu kämpfen, und ich habe den Sieg gegen einen sehr harten, unbesiegten Kämpfer errungen,“, sagte der ehemalige olympische Ersatzmann Villa. „Ich hatte das Gefühl, den gesamten Kampf mit meinen überlegenen Boxfähigkeiten kontrolliert zu haben. Ich bin bereit, das nächste Level zu erreichen. Ich nehme es mit allen Ankömmlingen auf, egal wer sie sind, Ich fühle mich als das beste Federgewicht der Welt.“

In der sechsten Runde, Villa machte sich mit einer starken rechten Hand an die Arbeit und setzte Jabs und Kombinationen fort, die Cevera zu begeistern schienen, der in der Runde 35-5 auf Schläge gelandet war.

Der Jab war die Schlüsselwaffe für Villa, als er führte 105-23 in verbindet sowie halten a 36 Prozent bis acht Prozent Vorteil bei der Jab-Genauigkeit. Villa übertraf in jeder Runde außer der ersten zweistellige Jabs.

Der linke Villa sagte, dass der Besuch von Riverside und die Zeit mit dem bekannten ausgebildeten Robert Garcia seinem Spiel geholfen haben. „Ich gebe mir eine 8 oder 9 heute Abend,"Er sagte. „Ich glaube an meine Geschwindigkeit. Ich weiß, es gibt Typen wie [Abner] Stuten u [Löwe] Santa Cruz, die die Leute kennen, Aber ein Besuch in Riverside zeigt mir, dass ich mit jedem einsteigen kann.“

Cevera wurde die 182nd Karrierekämpfer, um seinen ungeschlagenen Rekord zu verlierenShoBox. „Ich wusste, dass Ruben Villa ein sehr schneller Kämpfer ist, weil ich ein Video von ihm gesehen habe, aber ich wusste nicht, dass er so schnell ist,sagte Cervera. „Er ist viel schneller, wenn man ihn im Ring sieht. Ich versuchte alles, was ich konnte, aber meine Distanz war weg. Ich konnte sie mit ein paar Kombinationen treffen und er hat wahrscheinlich meine Kraft gespürt. Ich bin mit der Entscheidung der Richter nicht einverstanden, er war heute Abend der bessere Mann.“

In der Sendung Opener, Kubas Schwergewicht Frank Sanchez (11-0, 9 KOs) überwand eine 14-minütige Verzögerung zwischen der ersten und zweiten Runde und schlug den ehemaligen College-Football-Spieler Willie Jake aus, Jr. (8-2-1, 2 KOs) bei 2:59 der zweiten Runde. Beide Kämpfer saßen ruhig auf ihren Hockern, während örtliche Promoter daran arbeiteten, zwei der Seile zu reparieren, die von ihrem Posten gefallen waren.Siehe Kampf-HighlightsHIER.

Nach der Kontrolle der Aktion in der ersten Runde, Franks rohe Schläge überwältigten den schwereren Jake einfach, Er erwischte ihn mit einem Blick nach rechts zum Kopf und einem Handschellenhaken am Körper, der dazu führte, dass Jake mit dem Gesicht voran auf die Leinwand fiel und der Kampf mit nur einer verbleibenden Sekunde in der zweiten Runde abgewinkt wurde.

Sanchez war der genauere Jäger, der landete 39 Prozent seiner Power-Shots zu Jakes 25 Prozent. Er hat auch den gebürtigen Indianapoliser komplett überholt (28-15) und in gelandeten Kraftschüssen (20-14).

„Ich wollte der Welt zeigen, dass ich die neue kubanische Box-Sensation bin,“, sagte Sánchez, der in Guantánamo aufgewachsen ist, Kuba, und lebt jetzt in Miami. „Ich habe nicht zugelassen, dass die Ringseilverzögerung meine Leistung beeinträchtigt. Ich war bereit zu gehen, egal was passierte. Mein Manager, der großartige Richard Steele [ehemaliger Boxschiedsrichter] bereitet bereits meinen nächsten Kampf vor. Ich komme für alle im Schwergewicht. Alle Konkurrenten sollten besser aufpassen.“

Die Veranstaltung wurde von Devin Haney Promotions und Bishop Promotions LLC gefördert, in Verbindung mit Banner Promotions und Thompson Boxing. Die komplette Sendung wird am Montag wiederholt, Januar 14 bei 10 p.m. ET / PT auf EXTREME Showtime und wird auf Showtime ANYTIME zur Verfügung® und Showtime-on-Demand®.

 LAS VEGAS(Januar 10, 2019) – Former two-division world championBadou Jack hosted a media workout at Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas Thursday as he prepares to take on unbeaten top contenderMarcus Browne for the WBA Interim Light Heavyweight Title Saturday, Januar 19 on the Pacquiao vs. Broner SHOWTIME PPV® event from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas and presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

Tickets Für das Event, which is promoted by MP Promotions, Mayweather Promotions and TGB Promotions in association with About Billions Promotions, are on sale now and start at $100, not including applicable service charges, and can be purchased online through AXS.com, charge by phone at 866-740-7711 or in person at any MGM Resorts International box office.

A resident of Las Vegas, Jack is preparing to fight in his adopted home city for the 11thtime as a pro on January 19. He will be making his third appearance on SHOWTIME PPV, having won a light heavyweight crown against Nathan Cleverly in August 2017 auf dem Mayweather vs.. McGregor Veranstaltung.

Here is what Jack, his trainer Lou Del Valle and Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe had to say Thursday:

JACK BADOU

“I feel young and like I’m still improving. I take care of my body every day. Age won’t be a problem for me, it’ll be an advantage.

“I’m a confident fighter. I don’t need to talk and brag about everything. I’m just comfortable; innerhalb und außerhalb des Ring.

“I’m battle-tested. I’ve been in there in tough fights. He hasn’t been tested like that, so we’ll have to see what he’s capable of when the pressure is on.

“Marcus Browne is an athletic and skilled fighter. But it’s a little different to fight on the prospect and contender level versus on this world class level.

“One of my biggest strengths in the ring is my ability to adjust. Mein Trainer, Lou Del Valle, has really helped in that regard. He’s been in there as a world champion like me on the big stage. He knows so much about boxing.

“This is nothing new to me. I’ve been on a lot of big cards, so this is a regular day on the job. It’s exciting as always and I can’t wait to put on a good show.

“I feel like it’s my duty to give back outside of the ring. With this platform that I have, why wouldn’t I? We should use this platform for something deeper than boxing.”

On the Pacquiao vs. Broner SHOWTIME PPV main event:

“It’s a really good fight. Pacquiao looked pretty good in his last fight, but Broner is very talented. Alles kann passieren im Boxen, especially because Broner has a good chin and can fight. He just has to stay focused.”

LOU DEL VALLE, Jack’s Trainer

“Camp has been amazing. Every camp has just been better and better. He has improved on his weaknesses each time we work together. It’s incredible that a guy who’s 35-years-old can keep performing the way he is and still be getting better.

“We know that we have to be careful because Marcus is a good fighter. Everyone we fight at this level is quality. We’re only fighting champions and guys with the top pedigree. The better the fighter, the better we get.

“I don’t think that Marcus Browne wants to go the distance with Badou Jack. If you notice in previous fights, guys who fight Badou are not the same after. He takes a lot out of them and I think it’s going to happen again. Marcus is going to go for the early knockout, but we’re ready.

“The experience gap is a big difference. I had only fought one 10-rounder when I first fought for the title, but I still thought that I could beat him. The experience that Virgil Hill had over me was really difficult to overcome and I think you’ll see something similar play out in this fight.”

LEONARD ELLERBE, CEO von Mayweather Promotions

“I think that this is going to be a very competitive fight. You have two guys in this fight that are very hungry. There are a lot of options in the light heavyweight division, and it’s all about timing. This fight gives both guys a chance to prove that they want to be the best and make a great statement.

“This fight has a very good chance of stealing the show. I like the fact that Marcus is very confident. If you’re in a big fight, you have to be. Badou is even-keeled, and he comes with his workman-like approach to every fight.

“Experience is everything in big fights. It’s a big deal when you’re under those lights. Going the distance with top guys, and knowing how to break guys down, it all plays a big role in fights like this.”

FINAL ZITATE:

DEVIN HANEY:

„Dies ist ein 10-Runden-Kampf um die WBO Intercontinental- und WBC International-Gürtel, Es ist also eine große Sache. Das ist für mich ein echter Schritt nach oben.

„Für mich ist es wichtig, mir in verschiedenen Gegenden des Landes einen Namen zu machen. Ich habe in Südkalifornien und Philadelphia gekämpft, und jetzt kämpfe ich in Louisiana. In diesem Kampf werde ich zeigen, wer Devin Haney ist. In diesem Kampf werde ich meine Fähigkeiten unter Beweis stellen und mein ganzes Arsenal zeigen.

„Mein Stil ist kein Stil, den die Leute bekämpfen wollen. Ich werde gegen jeden kämpfen, der da draußen ist. Wir haben nicht viele Rückrufe bekommen. Ich hatte andere Angebote von allen Top-Werbefirmen, aber ich möchte unabhängig bleiben und meine eigenen entscheidungen treffen.

„Mein Gegner hat einen ungeschickten Stil. Ich weiß, dass er viel Selbstvertrauen hat und er glaubt, dass er mich schlagen kann. Das ist großartig für ihn, aber er hat noch niemanden mit meiner Kombination aus Geschwindigkeit und Kraft konfrontiert.

„Am Ende meiner Karriere fände ich es toll, wenn die Welt weiter sagen würde, ‚Ich weiß nicht, ob er einen Schlag einstecken kann.‘ Das wäre das Ziel.“

ENTSCHULDIG DICH BEI DER WAND:

„Ich habe vier Monate lang mit Jungs in Mayweathers Fitnessstudio in Las Vegas trainiert und trainiert 2017. Ich habe viel gelernt und tolle Erfahrungen gemacht.

„Ich sehe einen Jungen, gute Aussichten in Devin Haney. Ich muss mich nur an meinen Spielplan halten. Er merkt nicht, wie schnell ich bin. Ich zeige verschiedene Looks, und wissen, was er vorhat. Was auch immer Haney mitbringt, Ich passe mich an.

„Ich war in einigen tiefen Gewässern und habe mehr Runden als Haney. Diese Erfahrung wird sich für mich auszahlen.

„Ich bin in meiner Karriere einmal niedergeschlagen worden. Es war früh und ich kam zurück, um ihn fünfmal niederzuschlagen und den Kampf zu gewinnen.

„Haney will als Anwärterin bezeichnet werden. Ich war ein Anwärter und ich weiß, was es braucht, um an der Spitze des Sports zu stehen. Ich habe noch nie einen Kampf geführt, auf den ich nicht vorbereitet war oder dachte, dass ich nicht gewinnen könnte.“

RUBEN-VILLA

„Das ist aufregend und darauf haben wir hingearbeitet. Das Vertragsgewicht ist 128 für diesen Kampf, aber ich bin ein natürliches Federgewicht 126. Ich bin ein Linkshänder, aber ein natürlicher Rechtshänder. Ich werfe viele Jabs, das ist mein Stil.

„Ich repräsentiere Salinas und möchte eines Tages Weltmeister werden. Ich bin nur 21 Jahre alt, und schon weiter zu kämpfenShoBox ist ein wahr gewordener Traum.

„Die Leute sagen, ich habe keine Knockouts, aber es ist in meinem Kopf und sie werden kommen. Die Macht und Knockouts werden kommen.

„Ich habe einmal Devin geschlagen [Haney] durch einstimmigen Beschluss bei den Amateuren. Ich war 15, und es war im Finale der Junior Olympics. Devin ist wirklich geschickt und aggressiv und er bewegt sich gut. So hast du ihn geschlagen.

Ruben Cervera

„Ich war noch nie in den USA., und ich liebe es hier. Die Pressekonferenz und die Menge an Aufmerksamkeit, die dieser Kampf bekommt, ist erstaunlich. Ich bin es gewohnt, solche Sachen im Fernsehen zu sehen. Aber meine Gedanken sind voll und ganz auf diesen Kampf konzentriert.

„Ich habe Kraft in all meinen Schlägen. Ich bin ein starker Kämpfer, der in seiner Karriere einen Schritt nach oben machen muss. Ich bin jung, nur 20 Jahre alt, Also bin ich bestrebt, meine Karriere in Gang zu bringen.

„Ich weiß, dass Villa ein Rechtsausleger ist. Ich habe in meiner Karriere mehrmals gegen Linkshänder gekämpft und hatte kein Problem damit.

„Es gibt viele Talente in Kolumbien, aber es gibt nicht die Ressourcen, um eine gute Karriere zu machen. Man muss viel opfern und das habe ich getan.“

Frank Sanchez

„Ich bin 6 Fuß 4 groß und nutze meine Größe zu meinem Vorteil. Ich bin von Kuba aus übergelaufen 2016 und meine Familie ist immer noch in Kuba. Mein Bruder ist der Einzige hier in den Staaten mit mir.

„Ich lebe jetzt in Miami und trainiere dort. Das wird jetzt meine Heimatbasis sein.

„Ich würde gerne kämpfen [Deontay] Wilder. Ich möchte Weltmeister werden, vielleicht werde ich es eines Tages. Seine Technik ist ein bisschen wild.

„Ich hatte großartige Amateurerfahrung und bin ein ehemaliges Mitglied der kubanischen Amateur-Nationalmannschaft. Ich weiß, das wird mir helfen. Ich weiß, dass es noch nie einen Schwergewichts-Champion aus Kuba gegeben hat, und ich plane, der Erste zu sein.“

Willie Jake jr.

„Indianapolis ist eine schwierige Stadt für Boxer, weil dort nicht viel los ist.

„Ich habe College-Football gespielt [für das Pasadena City College] aber ich verletzte mich am Handgelenk und beschloss, zum Militär zu gehen.

"[Frank] ist ein kleiner Kerl. Er braucht etwas Reifung. Ich weiß, dass sie es dort in Kuba anders machen, aber wir beide kämpfen für unsere Familien. Ich werde ihn wissen lassen, dass er ein Cruisergewicht sein muss.

LOS ANGELES(Januar 10, 2019) – – SenatorManny “Pacman” Pacquiao, boxing’s only eight-division world champion, and former four-division world championAdrien “Das Problem” Bronerhosted media days in Los Angeles Wednesday as they near their SHOWTIME PPV®clash taking place Saturday, Januar 19 von der MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Tickets für die Veranstaltung, which is promoted by MP Promotions, Mayweather Promotions and TGB Promotions in association with About Billions Promotions, are on sale now and start at $100, not including applicable service charges, and can be purchased online through AXS.com, Aufladen per Telefon unter 866-740-7711 or in person at any MGM Resorts International box office.

Pacquiao will end his two-year hiatus from a U.S. boxing ring when he returns to Las Vegas to defend his World Boxing Association Welterweight World Title against Broner. Along with co-trainerBuboy Fernandezand longtime trainerFreddie Roach, Pacquiao spoke to media and worked out for the cameras at Wild Card Boxing Club.

Broner traveled to Los Angeles from his current training camp in Las Vegas to talk to media along with his trainerKevin Cunningham at Ten Goose Boxing Gym, after spending most of training in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Here is what the media day participants had to say from the split-site media day Wednesday:

Manny Pacquiao

“My journey in this sport is still continuing. I’ve accomplished everything I’ve wanted to, but I also want to continue to keep my name at the top. Even at 40-years-old, I can still show the best of Manny Pacquiao. I’m going to give the fans the speed and power that they’re used to seeing.

“I’m sure that Broner is focused on this fight. They are working hard and I expect him to be in great condition. We know how his trainer pushes him and has been pushing him in their training camp.

“I’m not taking this fight lightly. I don’t listen to any gossip about Adrien Broner, I just focus on my training. I want to be in 100 percent condition and ready for the fight on January 19.

“Adrien Broner is fast with his hands and he’s overall a good boxer. This is a big challenge that I’m excited for.

“Me, Freddie and Buboy know each other well and we have a great coaching staff right now. I’m happy with how everything has gone in training for this fight.

“Rest and recovery is definitely a key part of training. Sometimes when I work hard in the gym, my body can’t fully recover by the next day, so I’ve had to work more rest into the schedule. But as soon as I can, I’m back in the gym working hard.

“Im Januar 19 I’m going to do my best. I can’t say a prediction, but I’m going to do the same thing I did for my last fight. My trainers know how hard I’ve worked in this camp for this win.

“My plan is to take it one fight at a time. I can’t talk about future fights until I do what I have to on January 19. You can ask me again after this one.

“This fight means a lot. It’s my first fight at the age of 40 so I’m excited to give my best and show the world what I can still do. Boxen ist meine Leidenschaft, and public service is my mission. I love to bring honor to my country.”

Adrien Broner

“Growing up and seeing Pacquiao fight, of course I always wanted to fight him. I’m a competitor. One day I want to be the best, and to be the best you have to beat the best. It starts here.

“This is my first PPV but I was always supposed to be here. God doesn’t make mistakes. After this victory, I will be taking over the sport of boxing. This is just the beginning.

“His last fight he did stop Matthysse, so I’m pretty sure he still has power. But I’m going to be ready, I’m going to be ready for whatever he brings to the table. We’re in shape to get it done, I can tell you that.

“This win makes me an icon. It makes me what I always wanted to be, and what everybody always thought I would be. A win here and I’m a legend overnight.

“It’s going to be a hell of a fight. I just can’t wait till round one. Everybody I fight says they are going to knock me out. That should be the objective of every fighter, aber das ist nicht geschehen.

“Der Himmel ist die Grenze für mich, but in boxing you have to take it one fight at a time. You can’t overlook anybody in this sport. My main focus is Manny Pacquiao and I will be ready.

“A win would mean a lot. It turns a new page in my book. It’s another beginning. I’m already a star in boxing, but a win here and I’m taking over the sport. This is just the beginning.

“It’s not a mystery – he’s been knocked out before. Not once, not twice, but three times. And he’s been put down a lot, too. There are many blueprints to beat Manny. I think I have all the tools to beat him. I will show all the tools in my arsenal and show all the weaknesses in his.”

BUBOY FERNANDEZ, Pacquiao’s Co-Trainer

“I think it’s going to be a knockout. If Broner opens the door, we’re going to get it early. I’ve seen from previous fights that he’s a slow starter. So we need to get inside and go first.

“We know that Broner is a good counter-puncher with a strong right uppercut. Broner is a real fighter and a smart fighter in the ring.

“I’m happy that Manny has shown that he moves as well as ever, even at 40-years-old. He’s learning even more now. I told the team that I think he’s already prepared for this fight.

“We just want him to maintain this shape and energy level. Manny is 110 Prozent bereit. I don’t think there’s a fighter who can keep up with what Manny brings.”

Freddie Roach, Pacquiao’s Co-Trainer

“Ich kann nicht warten, für diesen Kampf. Camp has been great and he’s been training very well. Everything is back to normal and he’s looked amazing.

“Manny and I have been together 15 Jahre, so I had no reason to ever be mad at Manny. Everything has worked out really well and we’re working together as a team right now.

“I’m working on the game plan for how to fight Broner. He’s a counterpuncher who doesn’t like to come forward too much. Manny will have to be the aggressor in this fight and use his feints to trap this guy into making it more of a fight.

“I feel we’re going to see an aggressive Manny Pacquiao. There’s a rumor that Manny has been telling people he’s looking for a knockout. I love that attitude. I think his knockout of Lucas Matthysse was so satisfying and he saw that that’s what the fans really want. I think that’s going to carry over to this fight.

“Pacquiao and I have a deal. Once his work ethic drops, I’m going to tell him and he’s agreed he’ll retire. His work ethic is unbelievable right now. He hasn’t slowed down at all. He hit me with a shot in the chest two or three days ago, and I’ve never been hit harder in my life.”

KEVIN CUNNINGHAM, Broner Trainer

“Everything went tremendous in Florida. I’ve never seen Adrien this focused and I’ve been around him for years. He came to camp with a look on his face like this is the one he’s got to have. He prepared for nine hard weeks and we didn’t miss a beat. Everting was on point.

“He’s ready. He’s focused. We had tremendous sparring. Everything went great. We didn’t have any hiccups, any injuries or setbacks. He’s ready to go and he’s going to look spectacular on January 19.

“Manny fights with a high punch volume and he’s aggressive with it. But sometimes he’s reckless with it. Adrien is a sharp counter-puncher. He gets off first and last. If Adrien comes to the ring mentally sharp like I know he will, because physically he’s as sharp as ever, as long as his mind is on point, I think it’s going to be a long night for Manny and it’s the wrong fight for Manny.

“There’s a lot there to exploit. I know Manny throws a lot of punches and Adrien doesn’t throw a lot, but this fight is not about matching Manny’s punch count. This fight is about throwing the right shots at the right time.

“There’s a big difference in Adrien from the last camp. He didn’t take Jessie Vargas as seriously as he’s taking this legendary eight-time world champion in Manny Pacquiao. There were some things that went on that showed he wasn’t as focused as he is for a fight like this. He’s just been on point. He’s not screwing around. He’s not looking for days off to go have a good time. He’s just locked in on Manny Pacquiao.”

“I’m excited to fight on national television in the United States. I want to showcase what Colombian fighters are made off.

“I know my opponent is good, und ungeschlagen, but only the best man will win, and that is going to be me.”

Willie Jake jr.

“I’m thankful for the opportunity. This is an important fight for me. During training camp, I took one day at a time, step by step. I’m prepared for the challenge.

“I don’t underestimate my opponent, I will listen to my corner and I will put up a great fight.”

Haney vs.. Ndongeni

Freitag, Jan. 11 Weiter lebenSHOW TIME®From StageWorks Of Louisiana in Shreveport

WAS DENN: Devin Haney will kick off the 2019 boxing year headlining onShoBox: Die neue Generation for the third time in his young career when he takes on fellow unbeaten Xolisani Ndongeni in a 10-round lightweight main event this Friday, Januar 11 bei 10 p.m. ET/PT live on SHOWTIME from StageWorks of Louisiana in Shreveport.

The supremely confident Haney of Las Vegas has everything going for him. In November he turned 20 Jahre alt, and is one of the youngest promoters in boxing history leading Devin Haney Promotions. SHOWTIME Sports has released a “Day in Camp” video feature and you quickly see why Haney is ONE OF BOXING’S BRIGHTEST YOUNG STARS.

Haney’s Bay Area training day begins at the ocean, where he says he sleeps and breathes better than when he’s in Las Vegas. Haney spars at famed trainer Virgil Hunter and former champion Andre Ward’s gym in Hayward, Calif., close to Haney’s childhood home in Oakland. He also pays a visit to world-renowned sports nutritionist expert Victor Conte’s SNAC facility where he simulates high-altitude workouts.

In the new year, Haney only hopes to build his boxing skills, as well as his brand. “I want to go down as a multi-divisional world champion. Undisputed. I want to go down with the greats. I want my name to be mentioned with the best. My last year was big. A lot of people didn’t know me, and now they know me. It’s only going to get bigger in 2019. I will be fighting for a world title.”
