The winner of Thurman-Porter will immediately move into the
welterweight penthouse.Леонард
I know that Porter and Thurman both have the ability to get each other out of there. It’s going to be a matter of who gets to who first.Хернс
НЬЮ-ЙОРК (Июнь 20, 2016) – Шугар Рэй Леонард и Томас “Наемный убийца” Хернс might be uniquely qualified to talk about what WBA welterweight champion Кит “Один Раз” Турман и “Время Для Шоу” Шон Портер are thinking and feeling heading into their battle that pits two men against each other who are in their primes in a highly charged battle for supremacy in the talent-laden welterweight division.
The highly anticipated showdown headlines SHOWTIME ЧЕМПИОНАТ БОКС® на CBS представленный Премьер Бокс чемпионов (PBC) с телевидению освещение, начиная с 9 p.m. И/6 p.m. PT.
Leonard had a record of 30-1 с 21 KOs and held the WBC welterweight title when he took on Hearns, который был 32-0 с 30 KOs and held the WBA title, in a 15-round title unification match in Las Vegas on September 16, 1981. The match was billed asThe Showdownand had a worldwide television audience of 300 миллион.
The fight was a pitched back-and-forth battle, but Hearns appeared to be in control having won rounds nine through 12 на всех трех судей’ системы показателей. It was between rounds 12 и 13 that Leonard’s trainer, the late Angelo Dundee, famously screamed at Leonard: “You’re blowing it now, son! You’re blowing it!”
Леонард, with his left eye badly swollen, turned the tide in the 14й round by staggering Hearns with an overhand right and then pinning Hearns on the ropes and unleashing a barrage of punches, which prompted referee Davey Pearl to stop the fight, giving Leonard the victory and making him the undisputed welterweight champion and king of the division. At the time of the stoppage Hearns was leading on all three scorecards – 124-122, 125-122 и 125-121.
It was the toughest fight of my life. It took every ounce of will and strength to beat Tommy Hearns. I couldn’t have taken that many of those in my career,” Leonard said. “The Tommy Hearns fight was the one that propelled me to the penthouse.
Leonard felt like the victory over Hearns launched him into superstardom. He believes the same thing awaits the winner of Thurman-Porter.
Hearns on the fight: “I wanted to show my world my boxing ability. They knew I could knock people out, but they didn’t know that I could box very well.
Both Leonard and Hearns said they are anxiously awaiting the match between Thurman and Porter because they believe it will hold just as much drama as their match 35 много лет назад.
“Да, you can make the comparison,” Leonard said. “Both guys are at the top of the welterweight division. The only thing that’s different is that me and Tommy were so well known by sports fans. We were on TV a lot, and that’s what built our names and gave people the chance to see us so much. And that’s what they’re doing now with the PBC and the shows being on network TV. This could be a fight like ours. Кто знает? But I do know that the fans are waiting on this fight.
HOW DO YOU PREPARE TO FACE THE BEST MAN IN YOUR DIVISION?
HEARNS: “It’s always hard to get prepared for someone like that because you think about what the outcome is going to be and what are your chances of winning the fight. I never thought about losing, but I thought about what my chances were.
I knew if I went out and boxed the way I knew I could box, I would beat Ray. Just the thought of fighting Ray brought a lot of questions to my mind. Some I had answers to and some I didn’t have. Most other guys I knew I could go out there and knock them out.
WHAT EXCITES YOU ABOUT THIS MATCHUP?
LEONARD:Just the heart of Keith and Shawn. Both of these guys have heart and both have that will. That composure. You can’t teach composure. It’s something that you either have or you don’t. You can’t learn that. That deep, deep composure when your left eye is closed and your liver is busted and you got to get up on the canvas.
HEARNS:I know Thurman and Porter have the ability to get each other out of there. It’s going to be a matter of who gets to who first. I’m definitely watching. I hope to be there in person.
HOW IMPORTANT IS THE MENTAL ASPECT OF THIS MATCH?
HEARNS: I know what it’s like to go against somebody that people don’t think you can beat. You have to prepare for that. It’s a mental stage that you go through, how you prepare your mind. If you can control your mind and tell your body what you’re going to do, then you can do it. You can’t worry about how good the other guy can punch. Just stay out of the way. Keep on laying that stick on him and he won’t be able to punch you.
WHAT WAS YOUR MENTALITY GOING INTO THE MATCH AGAINST LEONARD?
HEARNS:I didn’t come to go 12 или 15 раундов. I came to whip your butt and go home. I had no desire to go 15 раундов. I trained for it, but I was never going 15 раунды.”
WHAT WAS YOUR MENTALITY GOING INTO THE MATCH AGAINST HEARNS?
LEONARD:I felt that I could beat anyone. My brother Roger didn’t think I could beat Tommy. He didn’t tell me that until it was over. In training camp I used to box Roger and he would land a lot of right hands. He figured if Tommy’s right hand landed on me it would be over. My brother didn’t have much confidence in me.

VERONA, N.Y.. (Июнь 11, 2016) – John Molina outpunched Ruslan Provodnikov in an all-action fight by revealing a new weapon in his arsenal, a sharp and steady jab. Molina captured a surprising unanimous decision in a 12-round junior welterweight bout that featured fierce exchanges throughout Суббота on SHOWTIME from Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, N.Y..

 

В со-функция на SHOWTIME ЧЕМПИОНАТ БОКС, Demetrius Andrade delivered a statement, knockout victory over Willie Nelson, staking his claim as one of the world’s best in the stacked 154-pound division. В первом бою, Dejan Zlaticanin knocked out Franklin Mamani to earn the vacant 135-pound world title and make history as the first native of Montenegro to win a world championship.

 

Molina and Provodnikov promised a war, and they delivered. But what surprised many was the volume of punches and effective jabbing from Molina (29-6, 23 КО), a veteran more known for engaging in brawls than his boxing prowess. Molina threw nearly 1,110 Всего ударов, в том числе 643 jabs compared to just 265 for Provodnikov, who failed to close the range on his naturally bigger opponent.

 

“We knew we had to outwork Provodnikov,” said the 33-year-old Covina, Калифорния., родной. “It was a fight that we needed. Ruslan Provodnikov is a very notable name. Он жесткий, крутой парень. He kept moving forward.

 

“People don’t realize I had my amateur career in the pros, and now it’s my time to step out and shine. У меня новый тренер. Shadeed (Suluki) showed me how to throw punches and use my power.”

 

Molina vs. Provodnikov was scored 116-112, 117-111, 115-113.

 

“I think it (the scorecard) was self-explanatory. A fighter knows when they won a fight. I won that fight and it was going to be hard to take it away from me.”

 

The judges agreed on nine of the 12 раундов, a relatively high percentage according to SHOWTIME analyst Steve Farhood.

 

“Today the decision was the right one,” Provnikov said. “Molina won the fight – he was better сегодня вечером. Everything was scored the way it should have been.

 

“We expected that he was going to box, he was going to move. We expected him to do that. Это была не моя ночь. Maybe I don’t have the same hungriness as before. I’m not going to make excuses, but it was hard for me to find my groove сегодня вечером.

 

“I don’t think it’s that (the layoff). There are no excuses. Я проиграл бойсегодня вечером. I couldn’t find the hungriness. I have to sit down and think of why that happened.

 

“I’m sorry if I disappointed.”

 

Undefeated former world champion Demetrius Andrade put on a masterful performance against top-10 ranked Willie Nelson, flooring the former world title challenger four times including once in the opening round and emphatically in the final round to close the show (ВОЗ 12,1:38).

 

С победой, Нельсон, who landed a staggering 57 percent of his power punches in just his second fight за два года, moved one step closer to earning another shot at a title fight. Андраде, who never lost his belt in the ring, is now the second mandatory challenger for the WBC Super Welterweight World Title, currently held by Jermell Charlo.

 

“I’m coming to get those belts,” said the 28-year-old Andrade. “People can’t run no more. The best have to fight the best. I’m coming for them.

 

“I came back, Я сильнее. Me and my team worked hard. We figured out what we need to do to take it to the next level. I’m ready for the Charlo brothers. I want them.”

 

Andrade was on his way to pitching a shutout, delivering a statement performance after months of frustration from “boxing politics.” The former WBO 154-pound champion targeted the head and the body of Nelson, relying on a steady diet of combos to floor the 6-foot-3 Nelson in the first, 11й and twice in the 12й.

 

“I’m young enough and my reaction time is still going,” Andrade said. “Willie Nelson is a true champion. He pushed me to the limit where I had to figure out what punches to throw. But I put the pieces of the puzzle together and got the knockout, ребенок.

 

Нельсон, Кливленда, dropped to 25-3-1 с 15 КО.

 

«Он был жестким,”Сказал Нельсон. “I was forcing my shots too much. I felt like I was getting back into the fight, but he was crafty and mobile.

 

“I am ready for whatever is next and, despite what happened сегодня вечером, I am here to stay. My career won’t end like this.”

 

In the opening bout of the SHOWTIME telecast, Zlaticanin blasted late-replacement Mamani with a third round TKO (:54) to win the vacant WBC Lightweight World Championship.

 

The 32-year-old Zlaticanin (18-0, 10 КО) became the first native of the Southeastern European country of Montenegro to capture a world championship.

 

“I’m very proud. I made Montenegro proud,” Zlaticanin said. “I want to thank my fans that came to support me. I think I made my country proud. I think they will be delighted. I don’t think they know what this means, but in a few days they will know.”

 

The southpaw Zlaticanin pounced with a powerful straight left that had Mamani in trouble just seconds into the fight. The Bolivian, who was also aiming to become the first native of his homeland to win a title, survived the round but he was in trouble again in the third. Zlaticanin staggered with an overhand left and followed with a series of unanswered blows that forced referee Charlie Fitch to halt the contest with Mamani (21-3-1, 12 КО) defenseless against the ropes.

 

“I knew that I would knock him out. He stood too close to me.

 

После боя, Zlaticanin called out Jorge Linares, the WBC Lightweight “Champion in Recess”, who pulled out of a tentatively scheduled match with Zlaticanin due to an injury.

 

“I want Linares next. He can’t run from me anymore.

 

In undercard action on SHO EXTREME, Вилли Монро младший. (20-2, 6 КО) победил единогласным решением (96-92, 95-93, 99-89) over John Thompson (17-2, 6 КО) in a 10-round middleweight matchup of former world title challengers. Monroe scored two knockdowns, one in the second and another with a straight right jab in the fifth.

 

В первом бою на SHOWTIME бокс на ШО EXTREME, Russian heavyweight Andrey Fedosov (29-3, 24 КО) scored four knockdowns en route to a sixth round TKO (1:33) of Mario Heredia (11-2, 9 КО, 1-2 в ВСБ).

Below is what the fighters said Четверг:

РУСЛАН Проводников

(На сборах) …

This camp went very well. Все прошло замечательно. Now I’m just waiting for Суббота.”

(His thoughts on Molina) …
I have a lot of respect for Molina and his team. Он великий боец,. These are the types of opponents I like. Most of the fights I’ve had are fights like this, opponents like this. This actually motivates me. I don’t have a problem with getting into a fight like this. This is what I’m looking for. This is the type of fight I expect.

(On his determination and will to win) …
Words are not so much associated with explaining this because anybody can talk and anybody can say words. I think the fans or the people have to see how my fights have been and the way that I’ve fought those fights. For me to say right now that I’m going to ‘die in the ring’, they’re words right now. The fight will show, then the fans will have an understanding in their mind of was I just saying that or is that really the way it is. The actions show, not the words.

(On how he sees the fight playing out) …
It’s very hard to predict and I usually don’t make predictions. I never make predictions for my fights. Let’s just wait on Июнь 11 and see.

(Final thoughts) …
I want to take this moment to thank everybody that has to do with this fight. All the people that made this happen.

ДЖОН MOLINA JR.

(Thoughts and reflections on Muhammad Ali) …

The world lost a great human being, not only inside the ring but outside the ring. A champion is the best way to describe him. The greatest of all time. An innovator. Somebody that changes the world in and out. My heart goes out to his family.

(On whether he’s the underdog or this is a 50-50 борьба?) …

In the grand scheme of things, the boxerexperts if you willI don’t know how many times they’ve been in the ring but for what they do in boxing, they seem to have him as the favorite but rightfully so. In a sense because of the personality and persona that he’s portrayed in past times. I don’t think too much about the hype. We’ve prepped for war в субботу ночь. We would be doing ourselves a disservice if we didn’t prepare right for someone like Ruslan. He’s a hell of a fighter, a hell of a competitor and we were both in a Fight of the Year. What people don’t realize is we were both in Fight of the Year on the losing side and now we’re going to be in a Fight of the Year, but both of us going for the winning side. I think the fans are going to be pleasantly surprised. Я готов. The stage is set to showcase my capabilities Суббота ночь.”

(On how you prepare for a fighter like Provodnikov) …
Just like you prepare for a fighter like everybody I’ve faced. Whether it be someone like Matthysse. Whether it be other fighters, I don’t want to go into names because right now my undivided attention is on Ruslan Provodnikov but the preparation is like that of any other man. I hate comparing the guy’s style to other people because again, the whole disservice you’d be doing is to yourself. You can study their style and get used to their mannerisms and what they portray in the ring and you can prepare yourself. С этим, как говорится, Июнь 11 will be the first time I ever face Ruslan Provodnikov so what I do to prepare myself is work on my strong points and make sure those are up to par and make sure my energy is set and ready to fire on all cylinders Суббота night and I can tell you that they are set right.

(On what fans should expect) …
“Фейерверк. Как я сказал, every word that we use in the thesaurus is an understatement. Boxing is a ‘what have you done for me latelysport and Суббота night is no different. I believe in my heart of hearts the fans are going to get a treat with Ruslan Provodnikov coming forward, not wanting to take a backward step with myself coming forward not wanting to take a backward step. We’re both going to try and go in there and pose our will on each other and you’re not going to see a boring fight. It won’t be Dancing With The Stars, it’s going to be a fight.

Деметриус Андраде

(On his opponent and his quality of opposition) …

Tony Harrison is definitely not Demetrius Andrade. Да, he’s probably a prospect and doing good things but everybody sounds good, everybody’s a prospect until you get in there with somebody that knows how to fight. They can try to bring the will out of you and that’s what Willie did is bring the will out of himself to beat somebody like Tony Harrison, but Tony Harrison’s definitely not me.

“Вилли Нельсон, yeah he’s tall, they say he’s strong but I’m all that too. My IQ is greater, smarter and this is my time. Это его. This is something that either makes or breaks me. It’s a good challenge so the people get to see that, due to the layoff and everything. I came back to fight a guy like this and I came back to win the 154 разделение.

I came here, chewing bubble gum and kicking ass. I ran out of bubble gum so come Июнь 11, I will be kicking some ass. I am happy that SHOWTIME gave me this opportunity and put me back on the network, put me back on prime TV.

There’s definitely going to be violence to open up the main event show with Provodnikov and John Molina, which is going to be a tremendous fight. Thanks for everybody coming outand I am the greatest alive.

(On the division and possible future opponents) …

I think that I’m going to make history by beating two twins that hold title belts and it’s going to be a legendary thing for me. Так, I’m tuned in, I’m ready and I’m focused. This is my division, it’s my war.

(On what he sees playing out on fight night) …

I’m just going in and do my thing, вы знаете, I’m the type of person with character. I’ve been in the ring for many years through the amateur program and fought 300-400 раз, against everybody in the whole world. Так, there’s not nothing I haven’t seen or fought. A tall guy like Willie Nelson with no legs or upper body, I’m going to push him to the limit. That’s pretty much the plan. I’m going in and its knockout season for me.

Вилли Нельсон

(On fans not expecting him to win) …

It’s what happens all the time. Я всегда слабым. It’s OK and I try not to worry about it much.

I’m not one to predict the fights; about what can and can’t happen, but it’s going to be an interesting fight. We know each other’s background and we have sparred before at the U.S. Training Camp.

(On Muhammad Ali)…

It hasn’t really affected my mindset in terms of this fight. With the passing of Muhammad Ali it’s very sad for boxing, and for the world. Because he wasn’t only a great fighter but also a great icon, a great man and a great leader.

ОТПУСК ZLATICANIN

(On what fighting for a world title means to him) …

I’ve prepared for this hard fight for a long time because they changed opponents and it’s hard to be prepared for that. But I have waited for this opportunity for a long time. Это самый важный бой в моей жизни, and I am going to win this fight.

(His prediction) …

I don’t like to talk too much. I will talk in the ring and I promise I will knock out Franklin Mamani.

FRANKLIN MAMANI

(On this opportunity)…
This is the chance of a lifetime, I feel like I have the winning lotto ticket and I just need to cash it in Суббота ночь. I come for a boxing family of 9 братья, I have been in boxing since I was 12 years old and I always dreamed of fighting for a world title in the United States. My country (Боливия) and my family will be watching and I will not disappoint them.

(По его противника)…
Zlaticanin is an aggressive, strong and talented fighter. It will be an honor to trade leather with him inside the ring and be able to win the WBC lightweight championship of the world against the number one contender in my division.

Porter and his father and trainer, Кен Портер, were on hand to speak to media and show
off the skills of the 28-year-old Akron, Огайо, native at the Porter Hy-Performance Center.
Here’s what the Porters said Среда:
Шон Портер
Being the first fight in primetime on CBS since Muhammad Ali is very significant. It makes me want to go out there and do something inspiring.
Keith’s injury gave me enough time to make extra sure that I had everything I needed to get ready for this fight. Not to say I wouldn’t have been ready Март 12 but it’s given me more time to reflect and visualize. На Июнь 25, I know I will be 100 percent on every level.
We sparred for about two weeks together but it was a while ago. The biggest change has been mental. There are things you learn and grow out of. I’m a lot different. Still some of the same skills but definitely stronger mentally.
I think he can do some things. He can box very well. He throws good off balanced shots. I can box as well, but I have the pressure, быстрота, foot speed and hand speed that it takes to not only outbox him, but to pressure him and hurt him. I think that’s what makes it a great fight.
“С этой точки зрения, we look at everything we’ve done and move forward each day because we know something special is going to happen. I’m blessed to have a mindset where I don’t focus on what I’ve done. I am always looking forward to the next big opportunity.
I think the fight is bigger since it’s been postponed. Taking it to Barclays Center is something that is special for the sport of boxing. I won my first championship there and I look forward to keeping up the recent history of great fights at Barclays Center.
I want to win each and every round. We want to make him have to adjust to what we’re doing. If we control the fight, we win the fight.
I’ve always been taught to control everything in a fight. I can’t allow him to slow the tempo down. But I’m definitely not going to rush. I have the skills to execute the game plan.
I think the difference is in my preparation. I have a great team to match my great skills. We’re going to shock the world.
КЕН PORTER, Отец Шона & Тренер
We normally don’t work out hard in front of the media, but we’ve decided to switch the energy and go harder during this afternoon session. This isn’t just for the cameras.
I respect Keith Thurman as a fighter and a person. This is something that happens along the way. Fighters have to fight each other. Some of these young guys working in this gym, they might have to fight Shawn one day. But fight night is fight night.
I’m not worried about anything Keith Thurman can do. We’ve done all the hard work. The foundation has been laid. He’s done this since he was four-years-old. He’s been on every stage and this is his time.
