ДЕОНТАИ ВИЛДЕР
“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 је моја година. 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.”
Артур ПИН-
“I want to be the first Polish heavyweight champion of the world. Спреман сам. This is important for Poland and my Polish fans.
“Wilder is very tough. He’s tall and strong. This is boxing. He’s human. I know I can beat him. He makes mistakes and I know what I have to do. I know him. I’ve studied him and I see what he does badly.
“Не могу да дочекам. 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.”
Цхарлес Мартин
“Getting to this point is very exciting but it will feel even sweeter when I walk out of that ring with the belt у суботу. 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 Субота ноћ.
“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.
“Осећам се веома добро. Спреман сам. My body is coming back stronger after training in Big Bear, Калифорнија.
“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 у суботу ноћ.
“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.
“Ја ћу се борити било кога. 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
“Ово је велика прилика за мене у суботу 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.”
Иван Голуб
“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.”

AMERICAN HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION DEONTAY WILDER OPENS UP ON THE STATE OF THE HEAVYWEIGHT DIVISION

Ливе он СХОВТИМЕ® Из Барцлаис центру у Бруклину
Sports Emmy® Award-Winning Writer Марк Криегел meets in New York with undefeated WBC World Champion Деонтаи Вилдер, 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, мој брзина, 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 [ми], they already know what the results will be.’’
Wilder is determined to prove he’s the No. 1 у свету. His current focus is his third title defense against Polish brawler Артур Пин, but he doesn’t dismiss the constant chatter about title unification.
"Наставимо да се боримо, sooner or later celebrate. Keep fighting, keep winning, keep knocking guys out. Once you keep doing those things, you can’t be denied, no matter what. 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.’’

СХОБОКС: THE NEW GENERATION KICKS OFF 2016 WITH QUADRUPLEHEADER FROM CASINO DEL SOL IN TUCSON, АРИЗ.
Undefeated Middleweight Rob Brant Faces Decarlo Perez in Main Event; Хармонито Дела Торре, Јаррелл Милер & Бахтијар Еиубов
Risk Their Unblemished Records In Other Televised Fights
Петак, Јан. 22 У 10:35 п.м. И/ПТ
Ливе На СХОВТИМЕ®
ЊУЈОРК (Нов. 28, 2015) - СхоБок: Нова генерација begins its 15тх year on СХОВТИМЕ® with an explosive quadrupleheader on Петак, Јан. 22, 2016 live from Casino Del Sol in Tucson, Ариз. (10:35 п.м. И/ПТ, касни на Западној обали).
У главни догађај вечери, непоражен у средњој категорији Роб "Браво" Брант (18-0, 11 КОс, 0-3 у Ворлд Сериес оф Бокинг) св. Павле, Од., measures against Atlantic City’s Decarlo Perez (15-3-1, 5 КОс) у 10 колу дуелу а.
In co-featured bouts, неумућен Harmonito “Hammer” Дела Торре (17-0, 12 КОс), of Las Vegas by way of Philippines, makes his United States debut against Rafael Guzman (16-1-1, 10 КОс), из Енсенаде, Mexico in an eight-round super featherweight bout and undefeated heavyweight Јаррелл "Биг Баби" Милер (15-0-1, 13 КОс) оф Брооклин, НИ. faces southpaw Донован Деннис (14-3, 11 КОс, 2-1 in WSB) од Кливленда, Ohio in an eight-round scrap.
Отварање СхоБок телевизијска емисија, удара снажно Бахтијар Еиубов (9-0, 9 КОс), оф Брооклин, НИ. by way of Kazakhstan, меетс Јаред Робинсон(16-2-1, 7 КОс), 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 Стеве Фархоод has called every fight on СхоБок since it premiered in 2001. He anticipates another year of excellent, competitive matchups in 2016.
“In 2015, we had eight fighters who appeared on СхоБок и је освојио светске титуле. That means the average number of shows in which you’ll see a future world champion is one out of four,", Рекао је Фархоод.
“We saw some fantastic prospects last year, укључујући Ериксон Лубин и Регис Програис and fresh faces like Јарретт Херд, Роб Брант—and a fighter who almost seems ready to fight for a title now—СергејДеревианцхенко. Given Схобок’s 15-year history, I’m fully expecting that we will have more of the same in 2016.’’
Арктичка дивља гуска, Perez and Miller will be making their second consecutive appearances on СхоБок. Brant and Miller were victorious last Нов. 23, Perez last Август. 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 СхоБокand both were impressive,'', Рекао је Фархоод. “Brant took a big step up and outpointed Луис Роуз in October and Perez pulled off the upset over the previously unbeaten Хуан Убалдо Цабрера у августу. So it makes all the sense in the world to match them against each other. On Jan. 22, we’re going to find out just how hot Rob Brant is.’’
Twenty-six-year-old Brant will be headlining his second consecutiveСхоБок. In his first, he captured a hard-fought 10-round majority decision over Rose. Going 10 метака по први пут, Brant triumphed in an entertaining tight fight.
Пре него што про у новембру 2010, Brant was a 2010 Национални Голден Рукавице шампион у 178 фунти и члан У.С. national boxing team pro. He currently trains in Dallas alongside top prospect Ерол Спенс Јр.
“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 СхоБок and I plan on improving from the first time, so viewers can chart my progress. This is my time to show my growth.’’
Перез, who hails from a fighting family, has won four straight and nine of his last 10. He scored a surprising, узнемирен, a 10-round unanimous decision over Cabrera (23-0 иде у) у свом последњем изласку. Перез, који је борбу на најаве за недељу дана, outpointed the two-time Dominican Republic Olympian by the scores of 98-91 двапут и 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 Џулијан Вилијамс. 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 у јануару 2014. Изван ринга, Perez is a pharmacy technician at an Atlantic City hospital.
Млинар, 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, заустављање Акхрор Муралимов with a devastating right hand to the chin at 1:03 у трећем колу.
“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. On 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. За неколико година, Он се такмичио у К-1, историјски је светски кикбокс организација, и два пута се борио легендарни Мирко “Цро Цоп” Filipović.
“There seems to be a new energy and enthusiasm on the American heavyweight scene,'', Рекао је Фархоод. “Part of that is explained by the fall of a dominant champion in Владимир Кличко and part of it is explained by the emergence of Деонтаи Вилдер, and even Травис Кауффман. So for a young heavyweight like Jarrell Miller, the time seems to be ideal to secure TV exposure and make a name for himself.’’
Деннис, 28, was born and raised in Davenport, Ајова. 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 U. С. 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.’’
Дела Торре, 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-нога-8, 21-year-old is coming off athird-round TKO over Ricard Betos последњи Нов. 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. “I can’t wait. 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 Манни Пацкуиао-headlined fight in November 2013.
Гузман, a 5-foot-8½-inch 20-year-old, will be making his U.S. debut and initial start outside of Mexico since turning pro at 16 у јулу 2011. In Dela Torre, Guzman will be taking a significant step up in class. Он је постигао трећи округли ТКО преко Pedro Lopez on his last start in Нов. 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.”
Иеиубов, 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 Генадиј Головкин. Since his days as an amateur when he won more than 150 туче, 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) над Jhaquis Davis. In his last outing on Нов. 29, Он је постигао 1:27, првог кола ТКО у Antonio Chaves Fernandes у Бруклину.
Робинзон, a pro since August 2009, fights out of Charlotte, Н.Ц. 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 Амир сам на СхоБок in a bout he took on short notice on Feb. 21, 2014.
Пре две почиње, Robinson fought to a disputed eight-round split draw against then-unbeaten Haskell Rhodes (23-0 иде у) он Јуне 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 последњи Седам. 26. Изван ринга, Robinson is amassage therapist.
Бари Томпкинс ће позвати СхоБок акција од ринга са Фархоод и бившег светског шампиона Раул Маркуез служи као стручни аналитичара. Извршни продуцент је Гордон Хол са Ричард Гаугханпроизводњу и Рик Филипс режирање.

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; ЛИВЕ ОН СХОВТИМЕ®
BILLY JOE SAUNDERS DETHRONES ANDY LEE SATURDAY TO BECOME 12th CURRENT BRITISH WORLD CHAMPION ON SHO EXTREME® FROM MANCHESTER,ЕНГЛЕСКА
ЊУЈОРК (Нов. 19, 2015) – Billy Joe Saunders dethroned WBO Middleweight World Champion Енди Ли with a 12-round majority decision Saturday on SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL из Манчестера, Енглеска.
Борба, који је постигао 115-111, 114-112 и 113-113, will re-air tonight at 9 п.м. И/Т. на СХО ЕКСТРЕМЕ.
In a matchup of tactical southpaws, an explosive third round from Saunders (23-0, 12 КОс) was the difference. The British challenger floored Lee twice – first with a big right hook and again with a counter right just 30 seconds later – and a dazed Lee somehow survived the 10-7 круг. ВИДЕО ХИГХЛИГХТС: http://s.sho.com/1OfibYe
The Irish Lee (34-3-1, 24 КОс) fought his way back and was the more aggressive fighter in the championship rounds, but it wasn’t enough to make up for a slow start and the two knockdowns.
Са победом, Saunders became the 12тх current British world champion.
“I’m world champion,” Saunders said. “I beat a good champion today, a good sturdy champion. I used his power against him. When I was boxing he got a little bit careless and dropped his lead hand and I caught him with the hook.
“I’m not going to start running my mouth, but it was a good shot. With someone as fast as me you have to keep your hands up. I’m not the biggest puncher in the world, but I showed you there that I can punch.”
ВБА Лигхтвеигхт светски шампион Данијел Џејкобс, fresh off a first round knockout of Петар Куиллин two weeks ago on SHOWTIME, was a guest analyst у суботу from New York.
“I thought he was going to be a big brawler, I thought he had better assets,” Jacobs said of Lee. “He didn’t do enough for me. He was too complacent and after the knockdown you didn’t see that sense of urgency that a fighter has to have on the comeback trail.
“All credit due to Billy Joe, but it wasn’t an impressive victory.”
After watching the fight, Jacobs wasn’t ready to commit to a unification showdown in 2016 with the winner.
“We’ll do whatever makes sense,” Jacobs said. “I think it’s time to sit-down and figure what makes sense. Obviously it’s a good time to be a middleweight champion.”
