UNDEFEATED SUPER LIGHTWEIGHT PROSPECTS SHOHJAHON ERGASHEV AND MYKAL FOX TO HEADLINE SHOBOX: LA NUEVA GENERACIÓN EL VIERNES, Febrero 15 VIVIR EN SHOWTIME

NUEVA YORK - Enero 16, 2019 – A 10-round clash between undefeated super lightweight prospects will headline ShoBox: La Nueva Generación when Uzbekistan’s power-puncher Shohjahon Ergashev takes on Mykal Fox Friday, Febrero 15 live on SHOWTIME from Kansas Star Casino in Mulvane, Mayo.

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.

En febrero 15 pelea co-presentada, 28-años de edadShoBox 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 de su 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 nocauts consecutivos, hizo suShoBox 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,"Dijo 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!"

A diferencia de su oponente, Zorro, 23, had a rocky amateur journey amassing 40 victorias y 60 losses—two of his wins came over undefeated top prospect Lamont Roach. Zorro, 6-pie 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. Desde entonces, he has defeated all of his 19 oponentes, five by way of knockout. Zorro, 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,”Dijo 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.”

Hernández (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 niños, fue 73-6 as an amateur and took five years off from boxing between 2009 y 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,”Dijo Hernández, 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, donde él compiló un registro amateur de 60 victorias, just four losses. The 24-year-old turned professional in 2012 a la edad de 17 y por 2017, he had won 20 straight fights and the British super bantamweight title. Actualmente en el puesto N. 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,"Dijo 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 y otros. 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. Si el nocaut viene, Viene. We’re hoping to have that opportunity Saturday. I have to pressure him to make him open up. Wherever he goes, Estaré allí.

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 la hora de luchar. Después de ganar, 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. Sábado noche, Voy a salir victorioso. 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, Voy a estar listo. 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 20º 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. El sábado por la noche, 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 de 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 por ciento. He’s done everything his coaches have asked of him and he’s exceeded those expectations.

Adrien Broner is ready, enfocado, 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 LITTLEJOHN, 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 año. We’re pulling for our guy 100 por ciento.”

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Presidente Deportes & Programación de eventos, 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, sin duda alguna. He’s a boxing legend who’s generous, humble and soft-spoken outside of the ring. But most of all, he takes tough fights. El último 20 opponents Pacquiao has had have been current, future or former world champions.

Adrien Broner has faced nine world champions in 37 peleas profesionales. 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 divisiones de peso. 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 TORMENTA, 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, de regreso a Las Vegas y 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(Enero 15, 2019) – With fight week underway in Las Vegas, former four-division world championAdrien “El Problema” Bronerhosted a media workout Monday before he battlesManny Pacquiaofor the World Boxing Association Welterweight World Title Saturday, Enero 19 in the main event of a SHOWTIME PPV®event from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Broner, junto con el entrenadorKevin 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. Tuvimos un campo de entrenamiento tremendo. 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, Voy a salir victorioso.

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, Entrenador de Broner

Preparation has been great. Campamento ha sido enorme. 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.

Mira el derribo de HaneyAQUÍ

SHREVEPORT - enero 12, 2019 - Devin Haney pasó la mayor prueba de su joven carrera el viernes por la noche enShoBox: La Nueva Generación, iniciando el 2019 año de boxeo con una actuación deslumbrante y una victoria por decisión unánime sobre el ex invicto campeón sudafricano Xolisani Ndongeni en vivo por SHOWTIME de StageWorks of Louisiana.

Haney (21-0, 13 KOs) anotó un derribo en la segunda ronda y usó Ndongeni (25-1, 13 KOs) abajo con castigos corporales en la última parte de la pelea para ganar fácilmente en las tarjetas de puntuación de los tres jueces, 100-89 dos veces, y 99-90.Ver el derribo de la segunda rondaAQUÍ.

Haney le dijo a Steve Farhood de SHOWTIME en el ring después de la pelea que solo quiere ser considerado un contendiente de aquí en adelante. "Quiero esos tipos superiores,"Él dijo. "Ahora realmente no pueden negarme. He estado diciendo esto por mucho tiempo pero ahora, Soy un contendiente ".Ver la entrevista posterior a la peleaAQUÍ

La caída vino a las 1:30 de la segunda ronda cuando una mano derecha de Haney aterrizó al ras golpeando al desequilibrado Ndongeni al lienzo. Pero fueron los golpes al cuerpo de Haney los que desgastaron al obstinado Ndongeni, quien peleaba en los Estados Unidos por segunda vez. Haney tenía muchas ganas de terminar la pelea con un nocaut, incluso diciéndole a su padre Bill Haney entre rondas, "Voy a noquearlo!"

"Es un gran luchador,”Dijo Haney, quien con la victoria se lleva a casa los cinturones WBO Intercontinental y WBC International. "No llegas a 25-0 sin ser nadie. Sabía que iba a ser un oponente duro desde el principio. Es un muy buen luchador y no lo elegí.. Ese fue el oponente que surgió y me conoces, No rechazo a nadie. Lucho contra quien viene delante de mí ".

Farhood dijo 2019 podría ser el año en que Haney pelea por un título mundial. "Estoy impresionado porque mostró un lado de sí mismo que no habíamos visto antes,", Dijo el Salón de la Fama Internacional del Boxeo Farhood. "Para un joven luchador, aunque es muy hábil, quieres verlo manejar todo tipo de situaciones. Fue al cuerpo de manera efectiva y si la pelea continúa 30 segundos más se detiene. Es una pelea por el título mundial en 2019 una posibilidad? Ciertamente. Solo porque es 20 no significa que no sea lo suficientemente bueno. Está claro que no hay nadie que pueda superarlo ".

Farhood finalmente le dio a Ndongeni una ronda por primera vez en la séptima, ya que utilizó un trabajo corporal efectivo para controlar la ronda., aunque nunca lastimó visiblemente a Haney o lo puso en peligro.

A medida que la pelea fue más y más profunda, Haney seguía fortaleciéndose. En las dos últimas rondas, dirigió 69-28 en golpes globales (16-6 golpes y 53-22 energía). En el último minuto de la ronda final., Haney desembarcó en Wall 23-3 en total conecta.

"Me estoy fortaleciendo con cada pelea y siento que la fuerza de mi hombre emerge,"Dijo Haney. "Ndongeni es un luchador muy duradero. Atribuyo su gran corazón por mantenerlo en la lucha. Sabía que era el luchador superior. Les mostré a todos que puedo pelear, Yo puedo boxear, Puedo golpear, Lo hago todo. Estoy listo…nadie me está deteniendo ".

En una batalla de invictos Rubens, ex decorada aficionado Ruben Villa (15-0, 5 KOs) entregó al colombiano Rubén Cervera (10-1, 9 KOs) su primera derrota en su carrera anotando una decisión unánime dominante, 80-72 en los tres cuadros de mando en la pelea de ocho asaltos de peso pluma.Ver peleas destacadasAQUÍ.

El dos veces campeón nacional olímpico junior de dos años y el 2014 y 2015 Campeón Nacional de Guantes de Oro de Salinas, Calif., Villa superó y superó al más lento pero determinado Cervera en el camino a una victoria decisiva..

"Me sentí bien peleando en el gran escenario y obtuve la victoria contra un luchador invicto muy duro,"Dijo una vez Villa Olímpica alternativa. "Sentí que controlaba toda la pelea con mis habilidades de boxeo superiores. Estoy listo para pasar al siguiente nivel. Me estoy enfrentando a todos los que vengan sin importar quiénes sean, Siento que soy el mejor peso pluma del mundo ".

En la sexta ronda, Villa se puso a trabajar con una mano derecha fuerte y siguiendo golpes y combinaciones que parecieron aturdir a Cevera, quien fue golpeado en golpes en la ronda 35-5.

El jab fue el arma clave para Villa mientras lideraba 105-23 en conecta, así como la celebración de una 36 ventaja de por ciento a ocho por ciento en precisión de jab. Villa superó los dos dígitos en jabs en cada ronda, excepto la primera.

El zurdo Villa dijo que visitar Riverside y pasar tiempo con Robert García, entrenado, ha ayudado a su juego.. "Me daré un 8 o 9 esta noche,"Él dijo. "Creo en mi velocidad. Sé que hay tipos como [Abner] Yeguas y [León] Santa Cruz que la gente conoce, pero visitar Riverside me deja ver que puedo intervenir allí con cualquiera ".

Cevera se convirtió en el 182nd luchador de carrera para perder su récord invicto enShoBox. "Sabía que Ruben Villa era un luchador muy rápido porque vi un video de él, pero no sabía que era tan rápido,"Dijo Cervera. "Es mucho más rápido cuando lo ves dentro del ring. Intenté todo lo que pude pero mi distancia estaba lejos. Pude golpearlos con un par de combinaciones y probablemente sintió mi poder. No estoy en desacuerdo con la decisión de los jueces, él era el mejor hombre esta noche ".

En la apertura de la transmisión por televisión, Peso pesado cubano Frank Sánchez (11-0, 9 KOs) superó un retraso de 14 minutos entre la primera y la segunda ronda que noqueó al ex jugador de fútbol americano universitario Willie Jake, Jr. (8-2-1, 2 KOs) en 2:59 de la segunda ronda. Ambos luchadores se sentaron tranquilamente en sus taburetes mientras los promotores locales trabajaban para reparar dos de las cuerdas que se habían caído de su puesto.Ver peleas destacadasAQUÍ.

Después de controlar la acción en la primera ronda, Los golpes crudos de Frank simplemente vencieron al más pesado Jake, atrapándolo con una mirada directa a la cabeza y un gancho de esposas al cuerpo que causó que Jake cayera de cara al lienzo y la pelea se detuvo con solo un segundo restante en la segunda ronda.

Sánchez fue el aterrizador de caza más preciso 39 por ciento de sus disparos de poder a Jake 25 por ciento. También superó al nativo de Indianápolis en conexiones totales (28-15) y en tiros de poder aterrizados (20-14).

"Quería mostrarle al mundo que soy la nueva sensación del boxeo cubano,”Dijo Sánchez, quien creció en Guantánamo, Cuba, y ahora reside en Miami. "No dejé que el retraso de la cuerda del anillo afectara mi rendimiento. Estaba listo para ir sin importar lo que sucediera. Mi manager el gran Richard Steele [ex árbitro de boxeo] ya está armando mi próxima pelea. Vengo por todos en la división de peso pesado. Todos los contendientes deben tener cuidado ".

El evento fue promovido por Devin Haney Promotions y Bishop Promotions LLC, en asociación con Banner Promotions y Thompson Boxing. La transmisión completa se reproducirá el lunes., Enero 14 en 10 p.m. ET / PT por SHOWTIME EXTREME y estará disponible por SHOWTIME MOMENTO® y Showtime on DEMAND®.

 LAS VEGAS(Enero 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, Enero 19 on the Pacquiao vs. Broner SHOWTIME PPV® event from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas and presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

Entradas Para el evento, el cual es promovido por MP, Mayweather Promotions and TGB Promotions in association with About Billions Promotions, are on sale now and start at $100, not including applicable service charges, y se puede comprar en línea a través de 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 11ºtime 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 en la Mayweather vs. evento McGregor.

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; dentro y fuera del anillo de.

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. Mi entrenador, 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. Anything can happen in boxing, 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, pero estamos listos.

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 de 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.

CITAS FINALES:

DEVIN HANEY:

"Esta es una pelea de 10 asaltos por los cinturones Intercontinentales de la OMB y el CMB Internacional, así que es un gran problema. Este es un verdadero paso adelante para mí.

"Es importante para mí construir un nombre en diferentes áreas del país. He peleado en el sur de California y Filadelfia., y ahora estoy peleando en Louisiana. Esta pelea le mostraré quién es Devin Haney. En esta pelea mostraré mis habilidades y mostraré mi arsenal completo.

"Mi estilo no es un estilo con el que la gente quiera pelear. Pelearé con quien esté allá afuera. No hemos recibido muchas devoluciones de llamadas. He recibido otras ofertas de todas las principales empresas de promoción., pero quiero seguir siendo independiente y tomar mis propias decisiones.

"Mi oponente tiene un estilo incómodo. Sé que tiene mucha confianza y cree que puede vencerme. Eso es genial para él, pero no ha enfrentado a nadie con mi combinación de velocidad y potencia.

"Al final de mi carrera, creo que sería genial si el mundo continuara diciendo, "No sé si puede recibir un golpe". Ese sería el objetivo ".

POR FAVOR DEJE DE:

"He entrenado y entrenado con chicos en el gimnasio de Mayweather en Las Vegas durante cuatro meses en 2017. Aprendí mucho y obtuve una gran experiencia.

"Veo un joven, buena perspectiva en Devin Haney. Solo tengo que mantener mi plan de juego. No se da cuenta de lo rápido que soy. Voy a mostrar algunas miradas diferentes, y saber lo que planea hacer. Lo que sea que traiga Haney, Voy a ajustar.

"He estado en aguas profundas y tengo más rondas que Haney. Esa experiencia me valdrá la pena.

"Me han derribado una vez en mi carrera. Era temprano y regresé para derribarlo cinco veces y gané la pelea.

"Haney quiere ser llamado contendiente. He sido un contendiente y sé lo que se necesita para estar en el nivel más alto del deporte.. Nunca he tenido una pelea para la que no estaba preparado o pensaba que no podía ganar ".

VILLA DE RUBEN

"Esto es emocionante y hacia lo que hemos estado trabajando. El peso contratado es 128 para esta pelea, pero soy un peso pluma natural en 126. Soy zurdo pero un derecho natural. Lanzo muchos golpes, ese es mi estilo.

"Estoy representando a Salinas y quiero ser campeón mundial algún día. Solo soy 21 años, y ya estar luchandoShoBox es un sueño hecho realidad.

"La gente dice que no tengo los nocauts, pero está en mi mente y vendrán. El poder y los nocauts vendrán.

"Una vez vencí a Devin [Haney] por decisión unánime en los aficionados. Yo era 15, y fue en la final de los Juegos Olímpicos Junior. Devin es muy hábil y agresivo y se mueve bien. Así es como lo venciste.

RUBEN CERVERA

"Nunca he estado en los Estados Unidos, y me encanta aqui. La conferencia de prensa y la cantidad de atención que esta pelea está recibiendo es increíble.. Estoy acostumbrado a ver este tipo de cosas en la televisión. Pero mi mente está totalmente centrada en esta pelea..

"Tengo poder en todos mis golpes. Soy un luchador fuerte que tiene que dar un paso adelante en mi carrera.. Soy joven, solamente 20 años, así que estoy ansioso por comenzar mi carrera.

"Sé que Villa es zurdo. He luchado con zurdos varias veces en mi carrera y no he tenido ningún problema.

“Hay mucho talento en Colombia, pero no hay recursos para tener una buena carrera. Hay que sacrificar mucho y eso es lo que he hecho ".

FRANK SANCHEZ

"Tengo 6 pies y 4 pulgadas y uso mi altura para mi ventaja. Deserté de Cuba en 2016 y mi familia todavía está en Cuba. Mi hermano es el único aquí en los Estados Unidos conmigo..

"Ahora vivo en Miami y entreno allí. Esa será mi base de operaciones ahora.

"Me encantaría pelear [Deontay] Wilder. Quiero ser campeón mundial, así que tal vez algún día lo haga. Su técnica es un poco salvaje.

"Tuve una gran experiencia de aficionado y soy un ex miembro del equipo nacional cubano de aficionados. Sé que eso me ayudará. Sé que nunca ha habido un campeón de peso pesado de Cuba, y planeo ser el primero ".

WILLIE JAKE JR.

"Indianápolis es una ciudad difícil para ser boxeador porque no hay mucho que hacer allí.

"Jugué fútbol americano universitario [para Pasadena City College] pero me lastimé la muñeca y decidí ingresar al ejército.

"[Franco] es un pequeño compañero. Necesita algo de maduración. Sé que hacen cosas diferentes allí en Cuba, pero los dos estamos luchando por nuestras familias. Voy a hacerle saber que necesita ser un peso crucero ".

LOS ANGELES(Enero 10, 2019) – – SenadorManny “Pacman” Pacquiao, boxeo único campeón mundial de ocho divisiones, and former four-division world championAdrien “El Problema” Bronerhosted media days in Los Angeles Wednesday as they near their SHOWTIME PPV®clash taking place Saturday, Enero 19 desde el MGM Grand Garden Arena en Las Vegas.

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.

“En enero 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. El boxeo es mi pasion, 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, pero eso no va a suceder.

“El cielo es el límite para mí, 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 mysteryhe’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 ciento listo. I don’t think there’s a fighter who can keep up with what Manny brings.

FREDDIE ROACH, Pacquiao’s Co-Trainer

“No puedo esperar para esta pelea. 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 año, 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, Entrenador de Broner

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. Todo fue genial. 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.
