Voici ce que les combattants avaient à dire Mardi:
Deontay Wilder
“I’m just happy to be here in New York. There’s so much great history, especially in the heavyweight division, in this city so I’m really happy about the opportunity. It’s the media capital of the word and I get to fight at Barclays Center. It’s an exciting time.
“2016 is going to be a huge year for Deontay Wilder. The fans are going to be very excited and impressed with what I do this year. I’m not playing around. My goal is to be the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world and whoever has those belts is going to have to deal with me.
“We’re on a mission. Everything that has happened has been planned. Everything seems to happen at the right time in my career and my life. I was meant to do this. Boxing was my calling in life.
“I consider myself the most athletic heavyweight in the division today. I’ve surrounded myself with good people and they’ve helped me get to this place where I am now. I’m happy for it.
“I’m from Tuscaloosa just like the Alabama Crimson Tide and they call Tuscaloosa ‘Home of the Champions.’ There’s no better place to be a champion and I’m very proud of the National Champs.
“I’m happy that Szpilka got this opportunity. I’m sure he’s excited and overwhelmed. Most fighters don’t get this kind of chance. At the end of the day though, he’s never faced a fighter like me.
“I’m mobile and agile. My accuracy and my power is the best out there. Artur Szpilka is in for a world of pain.
“2016 est mon année. I mean what I say. I feel it inside of me. Szpilka says he’s ready but he’s just trying to promote himself. I really mean what I say.
“This is big for me. Being in New York and making history, that’s a dream come true. I’ve been looking to come to Brooklyn for a long time to display my talent. Barclays Center needs a face and I’m looking to make it a home away from home.”
ARTUR PIN
“I want to be the first Polish heavyweight champion of the world. Je suis prêt. This is important for Poland and my Polish fans.
“Wilder is very tough. He’s tall and strong. Ceci est la boxe. He’s human. I know I can beat him. He makes mistakes and I know what I have to do. Je le connais. I’ve studied him and I see what he does badly.
“Je ne peux pas attendre. This is so important because the Polish people have supported me so well. I know I will be a hero after the fight. I know it and I believe it. Only four days.
“This opportunity to fight for a title and on SHOWTIME is something great. I’m here to make history.”
Charles Martin
“Getting to this point is very exciting but it will feel even sweeter when I walk out of that ring with the belt Samedi. Heavyweight boxing is back.
“I’m going to go out there on my A-game. I’m going to box and I’m going to show off my power for everyone.
“We want to go in there and figure this guy out. We’re going to break through the barrier and end up on the other side a world champion.
“I’ve been doing my normal work in camp. We had some great sparring that got me ready for Samedi nuit.
“I’m not one to talk except when the media brings it out of me, but I definitely prefer to let my hands do the talking.
“Je me sens vraiment bien. Je suis prêt. My body is coming back stronger after training in Big Bear, Californie.
“This is the heavyweight division. One punch can change anything. I’m coming to be the IBF World Champion.”
VYACHESLAV GLAZKOV
“I’m only going to pay attention to what’s going on in the ring. If I relax I will be successful.
“I would like to take care of this bout and then work on unifying all the titles.
“My opponent has some skills but I have faced the better opposition. Power alone does not win a fight.
“I was always more successful fighting the bigger guys, so I am not worried about his size.
“My sparring partners were all perfect in preparing me for this fight. I am very confident in my preparation and it will show Samedi nuit.
“I’ve seen some video of him. He’s definitely a tall guy. I’ve prepared especially for my opponent and anything he can do in the ring.”
AMANDA SERRANO
“I don’t care who I’m fighting. I want that belt. No one is going to take it away from me. I’m promising a night of fireworks.
“Je vais me battre n'importe qui. I’m a fighter at heart. I want all the world titles. I want to be an undisputed champion. Whoever they put in front me, I’m taking down.
“It’s an honor to fight at Barclays Center. I’m so thankful to have this opportunity. 2016 is going to be the year of Latino boxing.
“I’m thankful for everyone who has supported me and if you stay with me I promise you’ll never be disappointed.”
JULIAN SOSA
“Ceci est une grande opportunité pour moi Samedi night and I’m really looking forward to fighting on a big stage like at Barclays Center.
“I have big goals in this sport and I know that every single fight is very important to do your best. I’ve trained very hard to get into this position and I’m not going to let it slip by me.
“No matter who is put in front of me, I want to excite the fans. I’m going to come forward and get the knockout.”
IVAN GOLUB
“I’m very excited to fight on such a big card at Barclays Center. It’s the first heavyweight title fights in Brooklyn in 115 years and I’m proud to be a part of that night.
“I think I’m going to have to box this guy. Everyone wants to win by knockout and if all goes to plan, that’s what we’ll see.”

Wilder Defends His Title Next Samedi, Jan. 16,
En direct sur Showtime® De Barclays Center à Brooklyn
Sports Emmy® Award-Winning Writer Mark Kriegel meets in New York with undefeated WBC World Champion Deontay Wilder, as the American heavyweight champ looks to continue his path to heavyweight history by putting his imprint on the division one step at a time.
“I’m just a different fighter than these guys in the heavyweight division. My athletic skills, the way I move in the ring, ma vitesse, the power that I have, the awkward style that I have. Do I need to say more? These guys know I am very serious about this. Nobody wants to fight [moi], they already know what the results will be.’’
Wilder is determined to prove he’s the No. 1 dans le monde. His current focus is his third title defense against Polish brawler Arthur Pin, but he doesn’t dismiss the constant chatter about title unification.
«Continuez à vous battre, sooner or later celebrate. Keep fighting, keep winning, keep knocking guys out. Once you keep doing those things, you can’t be denied, peu importe ce que. I think unifying the titles … Once you have that strong American heavyweight to unify the division, to hold all the titles, that’s when I feel true stardom will come. Once I unify the division, I think it’ll be a dramatic change.’’

Undefeated Middleweight Rob Brant Faces Decarlo Perez in Main Event; Harmonito Dela Torre, Jarrell Miller & Bakhtiyar Eyubov
Risk Their Unblemished Records In Other Televised Fights
Vendredi, Jan. 22 À 10:35 p.m. ET/PT
En direct sur Showtime®
NEW YORK (Décembre. 28, 2015) - ShoBox: La Nouvelle Génération begins its 15e year on AFFICHER L'HEURE® with an explosive quadrupleheader on Vendredi, Jan. 22, 2016 live from Casino Del Sol in Tucson, Ariz. (10:35 p.m. ET/PT, retardés sur la côte ouest).
Dans l'événement principal de la soirée, invaincu poids moyen Rob "Bravo" Brant (18-0, 11 KOs, 0-3 en World Series of Boxing) de St. Paul, De., measures against Atlantic City’s Decarlo Perez (15-3-1, 5 KOs) dans un match de 10 rounds.
In co-featured bouts, invaincu Harmonito “Hammer” Dela Torre (17-0, 12 KOs), of Las Vegas by way of Philippines, makes his United States debut against Rafael Guzman (16-1-1, 10 KOs), de Ensenada, Mexico in an eight-round super featherweight bout and undefeated heavyweight Jarrell "Big Baby" Miller (15-0-1, 13 KOs) de Brooklyn, N. Y.. faces southpaw Donovan Dennis (14-3, 11 KOs, 2-1 in WSB) de Cleveland, Ohio in an eight-round scrap.
L'ouverture de la ShoBox émission de télévision, percutant Bakhtiyar Eyubov (9-0, 9 KOs), de Brooklyn, N. Y.. by way of Kazakhstan, répond Jared Robinson(16-2-1, 7 KOs), of Sumter, S.C. in an eight-round super lightweight tiff.
The event is promoted by Greg Cohen Promotions.
Boxing historian and expert ring analyst Steve Farhood has called every fight on ShoBox since it premiered in 2001. He anticipates another year of excellent, competitive matchups in 2016.
"Dans 2015, we had eight fighters who appeared on ShoBox et a continué à gagner des titres mondiaux. That means the average number of shows in which you’ll see a future world champion is one out of four,», A déclaré Farhood.
“We saw some fantastic prospects last year, y compris Erickson Lubin et Regis Prograis and fresh faces like Jarrett Hurd, Rob Brant—and a fighter who almost seems ready to fight for a title now—SergeyDerevyanchenko. Given ShoBox’s 15-year history, I’m fully expecting that we will have more of the same in 2016.’’
Brant, Perez and Miller will be making their second consecutive appearances on ShoBox. Brant and Miller were victorious last Octobre. 23, Perez last Août. 28. Robinson will also be making his second ShoBox start; the four other boxers will be making their debuts.
“Both Brant and Perez won their most recent appearances on ShoBoxand both were impressive,'' Farhood dit. “Brant took a big step up and outpointed Louis Rose in October and Perez pulled off the upset over the previously unbeaten Juan Ubaldo Cabrera en Août. So it makes all the sense in the world to match them against each other. Sur Jan. 22, we’re going to find out just how hot Rob Brant is.’’
Twenty-six-year-old Brant will be headlining his second consecutiveShoBox. In his first, he captured a hard-fought 10-round majority decision over Rose. Going 10 tours pour la première fois,, Brant triumphed in an entertaining tight fight.
Avant de passer pro en Novembre 2010, Brant was a 2010 Champion national des Golden Gloves à 178 livres et un membre de l'U.S. national boxing team pro. He currently trains in Dallas alongside top prospect Errol Spence Jr.
“I’m really excited about this fight and I’ve been training hard for several weeks now,’’ Brant said. “I’ve got a very serious opponent in front of me. He rates about a 7.7 at everything, which doesn’t leave a whole lot of weaknesses. I’ve got to go back to pure boxing for this one. I have to be better in every department. It’s my second time headlining ShoBox and I plan on improving from the first time, so viewers can chart my progress. This is my time to show my growth.’’
Perez, who hails from a fighting family, has won four straight and nine of his last 10. He scored a surprising, dérangé, a 10-round unanimous decision over Cabrera (23-0 allant dans) dans sa dernière sortie. Perez, qui a pris la lutte sur le préavis d'une semaine, outpointed the two-time Dominican Republic Olympian by the scores of 98-91 deux fois et 97-92.
“I’m so excited I’m the main event on national television,’’ Perez said. “I don’t know a lot about my opponent but I’m well prepared, both mentally and physically. I plan on giving the fans an exciting night.
“Camp is going very well. My management team has brought in top sparring with all undefeated boxers, one being Julian Williams. I’m excited that my trainer is allowing me to fight the majority, if not all of this fight, in the southpaw stance. I’m really a southpaw, but I have fought right-handed most of my career.”
Perez’ last loss came on a split eight-round decision to world title challenger Wilky Campfort en Janvier 2014. En dehors de l'anneau, Perez is a pharmacy technician at an Atlantic City hospital.
Meunier, a former New York Golden Gloves finalist who turned pro in July 2009, is a confident, power-punching heavyweight who comes to knock you out. He won his ShoBox debut, arrêt Akhror Muralimov with a devastating right hand to the chin at 1:03 au troisième tour.
“I feel like I should have been here two years ago,’’ Miller said. “I’m not coming to make friends. I’m here to annihilate and destroy the whole heavyweight division. Sur Jan. 22, I’m going to put Donovan Dennis to sleep. I’m not being heard right now, so I have to make myself known. After this fight and what I do to Dennis, things will really, really start to pick up. I’m ready to destroy.’’
Besides being a hard hitter, Miller has good overall skills and movement for a big man whose weight fluctuates from fight to fight. He’s won his last four by knockout, all inside three rounds.
Known for an aggressive style, Miller is now fully focused on a fistic career, but he hails from an MMA and kickboxing background. Depuis quelques années, il a participé à K-1, historiquement le principal organisme de kickboxing du monde, et combattu deux fois le légendaire Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipović.
“There seems to be a new energy and enthusiasm on the American heavyweight scene,'' Farhood dit. “Part of that is explained by the fall of a dominant champion in Wladimir Klitschko and part of it is explained by the emergence of Deontay Wilder, and even Travis Kauffman. So for a young heavyweight like Jarrell Miller, the time seems to be ideal to secure TV exposure and make a name for himself.’’
Dennis, 28, was born and raised in Davenport, Iowa. Before turning pro in June 2010, he was a top-level amateur: 11-time Iowa State Champion, 2011 National Golden Gloves runner-up in and 2012 Le. S. Olympic Games Trials contestant.
The 6-foot-4 Dennis possesses good skills, movement and punching power to go with his strong amateur background. His weakness is durability; he’s been knocked out in all of his losses.
“I’m ready to fight,’’ Dennis said. “I’ve been training really hard and I am looking forward to the fight. I just want to get this win and move on as I will have a big year in 2016.’’
Dela Torre, considered one of the top young talents in the Philippines, will be fighting outside of Asia for the first time. A big puncher and winner of seven straight by knockout, 5 pieds 8, 21-year-old is coming off athird-round TKO over Ricard Betos dernier Novembre. 14.
“It’s every boxer’s dream to fight on big cards in United States. This is the next step in my pathway to becoming world champion,’’ Dela Torre said. "Je ne peux pas attendre. This is an opportunity I will take advantage of and show everyone I’m ready to step up. I let my team concentrate on my opponents and pass me instructions. I just know I’ll be ready and able to stop any opponent.’’
Before turning professional at 17, Dela Torre was a top member on the Philippine National Amateur Boxing Team. As a pro, he has made a “name” for himself after an impressive victory over Jason Butar-Butar on the undercard of a Manny Pacquiao-headlined fight in November 2013.
Guzman, a 5-foot-8½-inch 20-year-old, en sera à sa U.S. debut and initial start outside of Mexico since turning pro at 16 en Juillet 2011. In Dela Torre, Guzman will be taking a significant step up in class. Il a marqué un TKO au troisième round sur Pedro Lopez on his last start in Octobre. 9.
“I’m feeling very strong and ready for the challenge of this fight,’’ Guzman said. “Fighting on SHOWTIME is a huge opportunity for me. I hear my opponent is a good fighter, but I am ready for anything he can throw. Everybody is going to be talking about me after this fight.”
Yeyubov, 29, who could be on the fast track to stardom, is regarded by many to be the second-hardest Kazakh hitter in boxing, ranked only behind Gennady Golovkine. Since his days as an amateur when he won more than 150 combats, a vast majority by knockout, Eyubov has lived up to his reputation as a fearsome banger who looks to remove the judges from the equation.
He’s overwhelmed his first nine opponents as a pro, winning six by knockout in the first round and two by knockout in the second. The furthest he’s gone in a fight came in his second start when he scored a third-round TKO (2:57) sur Jhaquis Davis. Dans sa dernière sortie sur Octobre. 29, il a marqué un 1:27, TKO au premier tour plus Antonio Chaves Fernandes à Brooklyn.
Robinson, a pro since August 2009, fights out of Charlotte, N.C. A veteran of several scheduled 10-round fights, he’s undeniably the most experienced boxer Eyubov’s ever faced. A natural 140-pounder,Robinson won his initial 14 starts before losing on a fourth-round TKO to then-unbeaten Amir I sur ShoBox in a bout he took on short notice on Feb. 21, 2014.
Il ya deux départs, Robinson fought to a disputed eight-round split draw against then-unbeaten Haskell Rhodes (23-0 allant dans) sur Juin 21, 2015. An excellent boxer with good skills and movement, the 5-foot-9-inch Robinson, 33, is coming off a one-sided 10-round decision overChristian Dominguez dernier Sept. 26. En dehors de l'anneau, Robinson is amassage therapist.

TWO HEAVYWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS IN ONE NIGHT; CHARLES MARTIN vs. VYACHESLAV GLAZKOV ADDED TO DEONTAY WILDER vs. ARTUR SZPILKA FOR HISTORIC HEAVYWEIGHT EVENT AT BARCLAYS CENTER; VIVRE SUR Showtime
BILLY JOE SAUNDERS DETHRONES ANDY LEE SAMEDI POUR DEVENIR 12e CHAMPION DU MONDE BRITANNIQUE ACTUEL SUR SHO EXTREME® DE MANCHESTER,ANGLETERRE
NEW YORK (Décembre. 19, 2015) - Billy Joe Saunders Champion du monde des poids moyens détrôné WBO Andy Lee avec une décision majoritaire à 12 tours samedi le BOXE SHOWTIME INTERNATIONAL de Manchester, Angleterre.
La lutte, qui a été marqué 115-111, 114-112 et 113-113, sera rediffusé ce soir à 9 p.m. ET/PT sur SHO EXTREME.
Dans un match de gauchers tactiques, un troisième round explosif de Saunders (23-0, 12 KOs) était la différence. Le challenger britannique a frappé Lee deux fois - d'abord avec un gros crochet droit et à nouveau avec un compteur juste 30 quelques secondes plus tard - et Lee étourdi survécut d'une manière ou d'une autre 10-7 tour. FAITS SAILLANTS VIDEO: http://s.sho.com/1OfibYe
L'Irlandais Lee (34-3-1, 24 KOs) a combattu son chemin et a été le combattant le plus agressif dans les rondes de championnat, mais ce n’était pas suffisant pour compenser un démarrage lent et les deux renversements.
Avec la victoire, Saunders est devenu le 12e champion du monde britannique actuel.
«Je suis champion du monde,”A déclaré Saunders. «J'ai battu un bon champion aujourd'hui, un bon champion robuste. J'ai utilisé son pouvoir contre lui. Quand je boxais, il est devenu un peu imprudent et a laissé tomber sa main de tête et je l'ai attrapé avec le crochet.
«Je ne vais pas commencer à faire couler ma bouche, mais c'était un bon coup. Avec quelqu'un d'aussi vite que moi, tu dois garder les mains levées. Je ne suis pas le plus gros puncheur du monde, mais je vous ai montré là-bas que je peux frapper.
WBA Middleweight Champion du Monde Daniel Jacobs, fraîchement sorti d'un KO au premier tour de Peter Quillin il y a deux semaines à SHOWTIME, était un analyste invité Samedi de New York.
«Je pensais qu'il allait être un gros bagarreur, Je pensais qu'il avait de meilleurs atouts,”Jacobs a dit de Lee. «Il n’a pas fait assez pour moi. Il était trop complaisant et après le renversement, vous n'avez pas vu ce sentiment d'urgence qu'un combattant doit avoir sur la piste de retour.
«Tout le crédit est dû à Billy Joe, mais ce n’était pas une victoire impressionnante. »
Après avoir regardé le combat, Jacobs n'était pas prêt à s'engager dans une confrontation à l'unification en 2016 avec le gagnant.
«Nous ferons tout ce qui a du sens,”A dit Jacobs. "Je pense qu'il est temps de s'asseoir et de comprendre ce qui a du sens. C'est évidemment le bon moment pour devenir un champion des poids moyens. »
