Mares and Garcia put media through a workout of their own before Mares stepped into the ring to show off his skills. Here is what Mares and Garcia had to say Tuesday from the Robert Garcia Gym:

 

ABNER MARES

 

 

 

I feel great right now. I’m strong and in really good spirits. I feel like I’m going to be peaking at the right time. I’m on weight and on track for fight night.

 

 

 

I have to be a poised and relaxed Abner Mares on June 9. I can’t go in with the same exact mentality as last time and try to knock Leo’s head off. Mám moc, but I’m not a one-punch knockout artist.

 

 

 

I trained well for the first fight but I got tired toward the end of the fight. I got desperate and frustrated at times and it took a toll on my body. Now we’re here and I’m happy to have my chance at redemption.

 

 

 

I’m confident because I have such an experienced trainer in my corner. I’m just trying to be the student to his master teachings and absorb everything he tells me. I’m always asking him to push me and tell me when he needs more from me.

 

 

 

The difference between our fight in 2015 and now is that I’m a more mature and seasoned fighter. I’ve been in this sport a long time, and now with having Robert Garcia in my corner, he’s really helped my mental game and given me great guidance.

 

 

 

There’s no doubt that Leo and myself will both train hard and be ready physically for fight night. This fight won’t be about physical strength, it’s going to be about the mental tools we have and the ability that we both have to adjust during the fight.

 

 

 

We knew last time and we know going into this fight that Leo is a volume puncher. He comes forward and tries to tire you out. But I know that he’s also a vulnerable fighter and I just have to take advantage of it this time.

 

 

 

There’s nothing to say right now, the talking between me and Leo is going to take place in the ring on June 9. I would just tell him to be ready for the best Abner Mares.

 

ROBERT GARCIA, Matky’ Trenér

 

 

 

This is probably the biggest fight of Abner’s career and the biggest since me and Abner have teamed up together. This is a fight that Abner wanted very badly and as his trainer, I want this win badly.

 

 

 

We know that this isn’t going to be an easy fight. But the way that Abner has been training and the way that he follows instructions, it’s going to make a big difference in his performance June 9 compared to the first fight.

 

 

 

I was at the first fight and I thought that Abner looked for big single punches too much and fought too rough of a fight. He made it harder on himself. It was still a very close fight despite that.

 

 

 

With a little more speed and by fighting smart going in and out, Abner could make a huge leap in his performance this time out. We know we have to look to throw combinations and break Leo down.

 

 

 

We’ve been getting sparring partners that are a little taller and throw a lot of punches and the results have been great. Abner just has to be in shape to 12 kola, because Leo is a fighter that finishes as strong as he starts. We can’t perform for eight rounds and then tire out because there’s a chance Leo comes on strong and puts us in trouble.

I’m the best fighter in this division, období.” – Stevenson

TORONTO (Květen 15, 2018) – WBC Light přeborníka v těžké váze World Adonis “Superman” Stevenson is set to make his ninth, and perhaps most difficult, world title defense when he faces two-division world champion Badou Jack Sobota, Květen 19 live on SHOWTIME from Air Canada Centre in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions. As fight week events in Toronto near, Stevenson shared some thoughts on his training camp and Saturday’s showdown.

 

 

 

Badou is a two-time world champion for a reason,” said Stevenson. “Já ho podceňování. I know he’s durable and that he has attributes like good head movement and I’ll have to be ready for everything.

 

 

 

Although many consider this Stevenson’s toughest defense in at least a few years, the champion’s mindset is unchanged from any of his other world title fights.

 

 

 

Every fight is a big fight for me,” said Stevenson. “This fight is nothing different. Badou Jack is a good fighter and people think very highly of him. But in my mind, he’s just the next guy that I have to beat.

 

 

 

With knockout victories in seven of his nine world title fights, Stevenson has become known for exceptional power, especially in his left hand. This serves as a strategy for the champion and is something he trains for under the guidance of his trainer Javan “Cukr” Kopec.

 

 

 

I’m always going for the knockout,” said Stevenson. “I’m still ready for 12 kola, but I want the stoppage every time. I’m hungry for knockouts. If Badou comes in aggressive, this could end very quickly.

 

 

 

You have to step into the ring with me to understand my power. If I connect right just one time, to je to, lights out. We train specifically for knockouts. You’ll have to wait and see how I do it on May 19.

 

 

 

As the longest-reigning champion at 175-pounds, and the second longest-reigning champion in boxing, Stevenson has established his case as the best fighter in the division, something he looks to continue to prove on May 19.

 

 

 

I’m the king at light heavyweight,” said Stevenson. “I beat the king to become the king. I know that I’ve accomplished some great things and me and my team plan to continue to do everything we can to stay on top.

 

 

 

I’m the best fighter in this division, období. When I win on May 19, I’ll just be doing my job. People might still talk trash, but I’ll still be the champ.

 

 

 

Stevenson vs. Jack is part of a split-site SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING®telecast beginning at 10 p.m. ET/PT with featherweight champion Gary Russell, Jr. defending his title against mandatory title challenger Joseph Diaz from the MGM National Harbor in Maryland on Saturday, Květen 19.

Salita Congratulates Newest Signee Arnold Khegai for Impressive Victory over Adam Lopez

Salita Promotions’ ever-growing stable of top contenders and rising stars grew again recently with the signing of his latest “Beast from the East,” last Friday night, as Ukrainian-born ethnic Korean super bantamweight slugger Arnold Khegai announced his presence on the world stage with an impressive unanimous decision over capable Texan Adam Lopez.

 

 

 

Fighting in the opening bout of a four-fight telecast of ShoBox: The New Generation on SHOWTIME from 2300 Arena ve Philadelphii, Khegai (12-0-1, 8 KO) dominated the capable and experienced Lopez over eight mostly one-sided rounds (scores of 77-74, 77-74 a 78-73).

 

 

 

It was the US fighting debut for the 26-year-old Khegai… one that his promoter, Dmitriy Salita, could not be happier about.

 

 

 

“I congratulate Arnold on a sensational performance. He did a great job in his US Showtime debut,” said Salita. “Dominating a skilled and experienced Adam Lopez, who beat and fought some of the best in the division. Arnold’s skills and power make him one of the best fighters in the division.”

 

 

 

Khegai showed world-class strength, speed and power against Lopez, who was previously considered a top-5 contender in the world.

 

 

 

“I am happy that I got the victory and finally made my US debut,” said Khegai. “I thank Salita Promotions and Showtime for the opportunity. US fans saw a glimpse of my potential and I got a lot more to show. I look forward to fighting the best in the world and becoming a world champion in the near future.”

 

 

 

Salita says he’ll have his newest “one to watch” back in action quickly.

 

 

 

“Arnold is a ‘made for TV’ fighter and I’m looking forward to moving him quickly. He was able to dominate a world-class opponent with relative ease and that’s just the beginning for him. He’s going to be a real force in the super bantamweight division and we will have him back for the fans’ enjoyment very soon.”

Two-Division World Champion Jack Challenges Light Heavyweight World Champion Adonis Stevenson Saturday, Květen 19 žít na SHOWTIME® from Air Canada Centre in Toronto

TORONTO (Květen 14, 2018) – As two-division world champion Badou Jack “Ripper” arrives in Canada for fight week in Toronto, he shared his thoughts on training camp and his matchup this Saturday, Květen 19 against WBC Light Heavyweight World Champion Adonis Stevenson live on SHOWTIME from Air Canada Centre in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

 

 

 

Jack conducted training camp at Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas with trainer Lou Del Valle and was able to have one of his smoothest and most effective camps of his career.

 

 

 

This is the first camp that I haven’t had any injuries or felt sick at all during,” řekl Jack. “This is definitely one of the best, if not the best, camp of my career. We’ve watched film, kept a strict diet and really focused this camp on gearing up toward fight night.

 

 

 

After a successful run as a 168-pound world champion, Jack moved up to light heavyweight last August and stopped 175-pound titlist Nathan Cleverly to become a two-division champion. Nicméně, Jack had already told his promoter Floyd Mayweather that he had his eye on the longest-reigning light heavyweight champion and he would go on to relinquish his belt to seek this fight against Stevenson.

 

 

 

I asked for the Adonis Stevenson fight a long time ago and the Cleverly fight got me there,” řekl Jack. “We’ve been talking to Floyd a long time about this fight. He’s a man of his word and he always said that I was going to fight Stevenson. I’m grateful for what he’s done and now I just have to take advantage of the opportunity.

 

 

 

Jack is well aware of the challenges presented by Stevenson, who last let an opponent go the distance in 2015, but enters this fight supremely confident in his abilities to bring the title back home.

 

 

 

Adonis is definitely my toughest opponent on paper, but that doesn’t really mean he will be the toughest on fight night,” řekl Jack. “Adonis has always fought everyone put in front of him and I respect that. He’s definitely a good fighter, ale já jsem lepší bojovník.

 

 

 

Everyone knows about his power, but he has good skills and overall can do everything you need to in the ring. I am excited to fight him and beat him.

 

 

 

With the recent birth of his second child and launch of his new nutrition supplement brandRipper Nutritionproviding extra motivation but also possible distractions, Jack has been able to maintain a laser focus on May 19 and a matchup he callsthe biggest of my career.

 

 

 

Start to finish this camp has really gone smoothly and I feel sharp and ready for fight night,” řekl Jack. “Boxing is all about fighting the best. He’s one of the best, ale tak já taky. I’m ready to show everyone on May 19.

 

 

 

Stevenson vs. Jack is part of a split-site SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® telecast beginning at 10 p.m. ET/PT with featherweight champion Gary Russell, Jr. defending his title against mandatory title challenger Joseph Diaz from the MGM National Harbor in Maryland on Saturday, Květen 19.

PHILADELPHIA (Květen 12, 2018) - Vyhlídka na lehkou váhu s modrým čipem, kterou Devin Haney získal, byla tou nejtěžší zkouškou jeho kariéry, porazit veterána Masona Menarda přes deváté kolo TKO v hlavní události ShoBox: Nová generace Pátek v SHOWTIME od 2300 Arena ve Philadelphii.

Haney (20-0, 13 KO) vstoupil do boje jako vysoce ceněná vyhlídka, která nikdy nebyla testována. Čelil své první zkoušce v pátek v čem byl plánovaný 10kolový zápas ShoBox veterán Menard (33-3, 24 KO).

Haney převzal kontrolu nad bojem od úvodního zvonu a nikdy se ho nevzdal. Devatenáctiletý mladík zvedl Menarda dominujícím úderem zvenčí a bočním pohybem se vyhnul úderu. Menard nebyl schopen přistát s žádnými smysluplnými údery a ve srovnání s Haneyovým důsledným pohybem a atletikou vypadal pomalu..

Po devíti kolech nadvlády, Menardův roh toho viděl dost a po kole zastavil boj. Haney obstál v té nejtěžší zkoušce své kariéry, ani jednou nenechal Menarda převzít kontrolu nad bojem.

"Plán spočíval v tom, že tam vejdu a vypracujeme úder.",“Řekl Haney. "Pokud přišlo vyřazení.", Vzal bych to, ale vešel jsem tam, nasadil boxerskou kliniku a ukázal světu, že dokážu jít naplno 10 kola.

"Mám pocit, že jsem předvedl představení.". Byl jsem uvolněný a dělal svou práci. Jsem rozhodně další superstar. Od této chvíle budou jen větší a lepší věci. pracuji velmi tvrdě. Vstoupil jsem a podal dobrý výkon proti muži, o kterém lidé říkali, že mě může vyrazit nebo mi ublížit.”

Po boji, poražený Menard respektoval Haneyho výkon.

"Nikdy mi neublížil.". Chytil mě nejlepšími výstřely, jaké dokázal, a nikdy mi neublížil. Ale dítě může rozhodně bojovat,“Přiznal Menard.

V 10 kole ko-funkce, vyhlídka na superbantamovou váhu Joshua „Don’t Blink“ Greer (17-1-1, 9 KO) vstřelil svůj třetí ShoBox knockout proti rodákovi z Baltimoru Glennu Dezurnovi (9-1-2, 6 KO).

Boj byl od samého začátku výbušný, oba bojovníci tlačili tempo. Greer využil Dezurnova vysokého strážce k vypracování těla, zatímco Dezurn se tlačil dopředu, aby uvnitř zasáhl Greera. Greer začal dominovat ve třetím kole, když velká pravá ruka zranila Dezurna a zbývaly dvě minuty.

"Věděl jsem, že přijde tvrdě, tak jsem dal práci do tělocvičny, abych se ujistil, že jsem připraven.",“Řekl Greer. "Jsem rád, že se všechno vyplatilo."

Greer v pátém kole zranil Dezurna rovnou levicí, a nakonec ho svázal proti provazům řadou úderů, které téměř zastavily Dezurnův trenér Barry Hunter. Po kole, Hunter varoval Dezurna, že zastaví boj, pokud se Dezurn nebude bránit.

Navzdory tomu, že v pátém téměř klesl, Dezurn přežil další tři kola. Zraněný a vyčerpaný Dezurn nebyl schopen dát si nic za své údery a v osmém kole poprvé v kariéře narazil na plátno, než rozhodčí Benjy Esteves zastavil boj s 1:47 zbývající.

"Chytil jsem se několika dobrými výstřely.", ale rychle jsem se vzpamatoval a byl jsem stále v boji,“Řekl Dezurn. "Mám hodně srdce.", což je pro mě dar a kletba. “

Sebevědomý Greer byl po zápase potěšen svým výkonem.

"Nepřekvapilo mě, že jsem ho mohl vyrazit.",“Řekl Greer. "Věděl jsem, že mohu zlomit jeho vůli."

V osmikolové doporučené atrakci, vyhlídka na lehkou těžkou váhu Charles Foster (16-0, 8 KO) zůstal neporažený jednomyslným rozhodnutím vyhrát proti Alvinovi Varmallovi ml. (15-0-2, 12 KO), skóroval 77-75, 78-74, 79-73.

Foster dominoval boji od samého počátku, ovládající mizerného Varmalla, kdo se stal 174th bojovník, který utrpěl svoji první ztrátu ShoBox. Varmall se v prvních kolech odvážně pokusil dostat dovnitř, ale disciplinovanější Foster ho držel na uzdě, s Vermallem zakopnutím a uvázáním uvnitř.

"Moje zkušenost byla tím rozdílem.",“Řekl Foster. "Naložil na jeden úder a já jsem se držel svého herního plánu." – trčí za úder, práce s tělem. “

Foster okořenil Varmalla levou rukou olova, označit svého soupeře natolik, aby ho rozbil a nakonec unavil. Varmall vyslal několik výstřelů, ale nebyl schopen Fosterovi ublížit a v pozdějších kolech, jeho údery postrádaly sílu.

"Když přišel dovnitř, nemohl mi ublížit.",“Řekl Foster. "Byl jsem tím, kdo řídil celý boj."

V úvodním zápase čtyřbojového televizního vysílání, superbantamová váha Arnold Khegai udržel svůj neposkvrněný rekord neporušený jednomyslným rozhodnutím nad veteránem Adamem Lopezem, skóroval 77-74, 77-74, 78-73.

Tvorba jeho U.S.. debut, ovládaný Khegai (12-0-1, 8 KO) stiskl akci od začátku. Khegai pracoval s úderem a zůstal mobilní, vydělávat na vratkém Lopezovi (16-2-3, 8 KO) s perfektně načasovaným protikusem s 30 sekund zbývajících do druhého kola. Khegai zůstal v prvních kolech zaneprázdněn důslednými kontrakcemi, ale získal bodový odpočet za zásah do zadní části Lopezovy hlavy, přičemž v šestém kole zbývaly sekundy.

"To byl můj první boj v USA.". a chtěl jsem ukázat něco zvláštního,“Řekl Khegai. "Všichni čekali na vyřazení.", ale chtěl jsem ukázat své boxerské schopnosti. Mohl jsem jít na KO uprostřed boje, ale chtěl jsem dokázat, že umím boxovat. “

I přes mírný pokles produktivity v pozdějších kolech, Ukrajinec zůstal efektivní, přistání 31 záběry těla ve srovnání s pouhými 15 od Lopeze.

Lopez, zaskočeni Khegaiovým bojovým stylem, byl zklamán svým výkonem v rekordní sedmé pozici ShoBox vzhled.

"Čekal jsem, že bude špinavý bojovník.", ale trochu mě to odhodilo ze hry. Rozhodčí mi stále říkal „neodplatujte, neodplatujte. “

"Opravdu jsem nemohl přistát se svými tvrdými střelami. Přistál jsem pár,“Řekl Lopez. "Ve čtvrtém nebo pátém jsem ho ohromil pravým hákem.". Trochu se otřásl, ale je to dobrý bojovník. Vystoupil z toho. “

Akce byla podporována Greg Cohen Promotions ve spojení s Akce Devina Haneyho a Tvrdé zásahy.

Adonis Stevenson vs. Badou Jack Media Predictions

Writers See Close Contest in Light Heavyweight Title Showdown but Lean Toward Two-Division Champion Jack Over Long-Reigning Champion Stevenson
Stevenson vs. Zvedák Sobota, Květen 19 žít na SHOWTIME®from Air Canada Centre in Toronto

TORONTO (Květen 11, 2018) – Members of the boxing media asked to weigh in on the world title showdown between light heavyweight champion Adonis Stevenson and two-division world champion Badou Jack all see a close fight on Saturday, Květen 19 but lean toward the challenger to take the crown from the champion live on SHOWTIME from Air Canada Centre in Toronto.

 

 

 

Stevenson vs. Jack is part of a split-site SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING®telecast beginning at 10 p.m. ET/PT with featherweight champion Gary Russell, Jr. defending his title against mandatory title challenger Joseph Diaz from the MGM National Harbor in Maryland on Saturday, Květen 19.

 

 

 

Vstupenky na koncertě, which is promoted by Groupe Yvon Michel, Lee Baxter Promotions and Mayweather Promotions, are on sale now and available at www.ticketmaster.ca.

 

 

 

Here is what the media had to say about this matchup:

 

Steve Simmons (Toronto Sun) – “Jack by decisionAdonis Stevenson is 40 years old and hasn’t fought in the past 11 months and has hardly been active the past two years. Look for Badou Jack to try and box Stevenson, stay away from his immense power and work his way to a 12-round decision.

 

Bob Velin (USA TODAY) – “Stevenson, 11th-round TKO: Jack is the bigger man, and has a six-year age advantage, and both men have not been real active recently. But Stevenson, even at 40, is an outstanding boxer-puncher and keeps impressing. I believe he will stop Jack late.

 

Lyle Fitzsimmons (Boxing Scene / CBS.com) – “I love this fight. And every time I think about the result, my mind changes. Stevenson is certainly the puncher of the two men, while Jack seems the more dynamic all-around fighter. I can see Badou winning nearly every round based on skill and speed, but it’s harder to envision him getting through 36 full minutes without taking some solid left hands. The hunch here at this moment, ačkoli, is that he can avoid those bombs in the early going and lessen their severity as he wears Stevenson down in the second halfen route to a decision win.Call it 116-112 for Jack.”

 

Lester Silva (Univision) – “Although Adonis Stevenson hasn’t been tested in years, he possesses one of the best solid left hands in the sport of boxing. His hometown crowd will be on his side May 19 against Badou Jack, who is just getting off with lots of momentum after winning a title. This should be a very interesting fight only if Badou avoids getting caught with that powerful left hand.

 

Adam Caparell (Complex) – “His age (40) and the questionable competition he’s fought the last five years has to catch up to Stevenson at some point, doprava? Not sure if I see Jack dropping Stevenson, ale I’m taking ‘The Ripperin a majority decision.”

 

Josh Katzowitz (Forbes) – “Every time I think Adonis Stevenson has gotten too old or too inactive to continue to win, I’m always proven wrong. Badou Jack is Stevenson’s biggest test in the past five years, so I’m tempted to pick him to beat Stevenson. But even at 40 let, Stevenson still has enough skills to hold on to his belt and he’s still strong enough to knock out a fighter like Jack. I’d pick Stevenson to win by late stoppage.”

 

John Cudney (Reddit BoxingSunday Puncher) – “Adonis Stevenson vs. Badou Jack is as close to 50/50 as they come. Stevenson’s left hand is one of the deadliest punches in the sport, and Badou Jack has established himself as one of the game’s best body punchers. To add further intrigue, both men have each suffered a single loss, with each of those losses coming by first round knockout. Either man could win, and the outcome could either be an early KO or a hard-fought decision. I’m going with Badou Jack by decision. I think Jack will be able to avoid Stevenson’s left hand and make this a long and difficult night for the champion. Jack’s body punching will be the perfect weapon to make Stevenson finally feel his age in the ring.

 

Rhett Butler (The Shadow League) – “This is honestly a fight for true fight fans who understand the pivotal and unique David vs. Goliath matchup that this truly is. Adonis Stevenson has an illustrious array of light heavyweight bodies on his resume and is a true juggernaut in the division. Stále, Jack earned a world title in his first jaunt at light heavyweight and as the old adage goes, ‘true champions can do it in multiple weight classes’. Both Stevenson and Jack are hungry but I think that Jack will fell the giant in Stevenson this time out. It’s his time and Stevenson thinks since Andre Ward retired he might be safe from anyone not named Kovalev. It will be a war of attrition, that ultimately Badou Jack will have his hand raised from.

 

Gabe Oppenheim (Props) – “I pick Jack by decision, though a late stoppage wouldn’t surprise me.

 

Gilbert Manzano (Las Vegas Review Journal) – In a really close fight, I say Badou Jack pulls it out. Very close, split decision for Jack. I think the fans will witness a couple knockdowns too.

 

Andreas Hale (Ring Magazine) – “Close boj! Adonis Stevenson’s age might finally catch up to him and he might be underestimating Badou Jack. We might be in for a little barn burner in the middle of the rounds. I’m gonna say Jack by split decision.”

 

Salvador Rodriguez (ESPN) – “It’s not an easy fight for anyone. Adonis Stevenson is 40 years old and Jack showed some very good things in his first fight at 175 with the KO over Nathan Cleverly last year. I believe Stevenson has something in his pocket, but not enough to defeat a younger lion like Badou Jack. I go for Jack by points.”

(Květen 11, 2018) – Featherweight world champion Gary Russell Jr. and undefeated mandatory challenger Joseph “JoJo” Diaz Jr. met members of the media on opposite coasts on Thursday, just one week out of their WBC world title showdown on Saturday, Květen 19, from MGM National Harbor in Maryland.

 

 

 

Russell will defend his WBC title against Diaz in a split-site SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast (10:05 p.m. ET / PT) and will feature WBC Light Heavyweight World Champion Adonis Stevenson defending his title against two-division world champion Badou Jack in a 12-round main event presented by Premier Boxing Champions from Toronto.

 

 

 

Russell was joined by his younger brothers, Gary Antuanne Russell a Gary Antonio Russell at The Enigma Boxing Gym in Capitol Heights, Md., while Diaz took part in a workout at Azteca Gym in the City of Bell, just east of downtown Los Angeles.

 

 

 

Tickets for the MGM National Harbor show, which is promoted by TGB Promotions in association with Golden Boy Promotions, are on sale now and are available by visiting http://mgmnationalharbor.com/.

 

 

 

Here’s what the fighters had to say on Thursday:

 

GARY RUSSELL JR.

 

 

 

Sometimes you tend to magnify an event because of the fact that it’s in your hometown and it’s on a major card. It tends to take away from the true goal and the true purpose. I just need to focus on what the objective is. We never magnify the events. I think it’s cool that the neighbors and the mail lady and the people who honk their horns as they see me jogging down the street have the ability to get in their car and drive 15 minutes down the road to be a part of everything that’s going on and get to see a product of their environment.

 

 

 

I draw my energy from my family, mí přátelé, the true fans of Gary Russell Jr. That’s what I ultimately do it for. Regardless of what our profession is, we try to have a sense of financial stability for our families and that’s my objective as well. That’s what keeps me motivated.

 

 

 

Diaz already made the statement that I am the best fighter in the featherweight division. He already made the statement that none of the other world champions are willing to step into the ring to compete against me. The managers and the promoters aren’t willing to put their fighters in the ring against me.

 

 

 

I welcome the fact that Diaz wants the fight. As a world champion, I wouldn’t want or expect anything less. I want a competitor that’s ready to fight and that’s going to bring their best. I believe that he’s going to be the best that he can possibly be. My objective is to prepare myself to the best of my ability. I never really focus too much on my opponents. If Gary Russell Jr. is the best that he can be on fight night, then we’re good.

 

 

 

I know that Diaz is young, má hlad. He’s the number one contender. He has eight weeks to prepare for nobody else but me. That’s always a recipe for somebody who’s really going to be ready and hungry. I think he knows that he’s getting in the ring with one of the best fighters in the world so he’s going to be ready.

 

 

 

“Miluji to, co dělám. Even when I’m done with the sport of boxing, I’ll still be in the gym training and looking to spar. I’ve been competing since I was seven years old. I’ll be 30, it’s a lot of time that I’ve spent grinding. I just want to be able to spend time with my family and my friends and help give back to this younger generation.

 

 

 

I take my hat off to him for getting in the ring and making this fight happen. You have to appreciate that as a fellow warrior and as a fellow gladiator, I respect it.

 

 

 

I have the strength, the speed, the power, ring generalship, boxing IQall of that will come together on the 19th.

 

 

 

I definitely see my hand speed being effective but it’s more than that. That’s just a physical attribute. What happens when you see two fighters who have an equal amount of hand speed and an equal amount of power? It’s the mindset.

 

 

 

It’s always cool to compete with my younger brothers and share the field of battle with them. But I try not to magnify the event. The true focus is being victorious on the 19th.

 

 

 

It’s always important to see my brothers develop, even if it wasn’t on my card. We have a concept of a dynasty. My definition of that is information being passed down from generation to generation. I feel as though when my younger brothers get to the age I am, I expect them to be better than what I am now. The sky is the limit and I want them to keep developing not just as fighters but as men.

 

 

 

We put the city on the map. We’re bringing boxing back to the DMV area. Gervonta Davis is a fighter that I’ve watched come up through the amateurs and now he’s a world champion. Jarrett Hurd is another one that I’ve watched come up in the amateurs. He used to watch me train getting ready for the Olympics and now he’s a world champion as well. It goes to show that if you keep pushing, you stay hungry, diligent and you don’t cut corners, the sky is the limit.

 

JOSEPH DIAZ JR.

 

 

 

I have no hostility toward Gary Russell Jr. I respect Gary Russell Jr., and I know what he brings to the table. Ever since I was brought up as a professional fighter I was always humble and I was always down to earth. Now that I have the opportunity to become the champion that I know I can be I feel like I’m more outspoken because I know that the opportunity is finally here, and I know what I’m capable of doing.

 

 

 

I want to fight the best at 126 pounds and I want to show all the fans that I’m the real deal. By fighting and bringing on the toughest 126 pounders like Gary Russell Jr., and defeating him, that’s going to showcase to the whole boxing world that I am the real deal and I will be the king at 126 liber.

 

 

 

He’s been inactive and used to fighting just once a year now. But what makes him so dangerous is he’s very, very speedy and has great hand speed. And not only that but he knows how to use his hand speed and counter when guys are opening up. My father and I know what we are bringing to the table, and I’m fast, také. I have a very high boxing IQ and I’m very powerful in there. I know how to land sneaky body shots and I’m a big 126-pound fighter, and that will be the key to victory. He will try and land his power shots, but they’re not going to be effective because I’m the bigger fighter.

 

 

 

I need to bring this WBC belt back to L.A. and to South El Monte. I’ll be the first champion coming out of there and I’m a role model to a lot of youth. That’s what makes me hungry and I’m one hundred percent confident I’ll be the champion and we will have a big parade in South El Monte, and you’re all invited!

 

 

 

I’m like Pernell Whitaker and an Oscar De La Hoya mix. Pernell because he’s fast and Oscar because he applies the pressure and throws combinations. That’s what I plan on bringing to this fight. Applying the pressure and taking him to a point where he’s never been before. He drops his hands a lot and his defense is not that good, so I’ll be taking advantage of that. I’ll be landing body shots, and let’s see if he can take it for 12 kola.

 

 

 

This is an opportunity of a lifetime. Fighting for a world title against Gary Russell Jr., je splněný sen. I feel like I’m so much better a fighter now than I was at the Olympics. If feel like if I fought that kid who was in the Olympics now I’d stop him in the first round. My management and trainers have groomed me for this fight on May 19. I fought some undefeated fighters, some experienced fighters and some real live dogs. I just feel like all the experience I’ve gained in the past will serve me well.

 

 

 

I’d like to fight all the best in the 126-pound division, Leo Santa Cruz, Abner Mares, Oscar Valdez and Lee Selby. These are big fights that I really want to make and I want to fight the best and be the best.

GARY ANTONIO RUSSELL

 

 

 

We’re in the ring with Gary every day, so we see a lot of things that other people don’t. People only judge him for his hand speed and are just starting to recognize his power, but nobody has seen his full potential yet. No fighter he has faced has forced him to bring it out.

 

 

 

Diaz doesn’t know what he has coming for him. Most fighters are one-dimensional. Gary is comfortable fighting anyway. He can fight on the inside, the outside, he can counter, he can box you, JoJo Diaz does not know what to expect.

 

 

 

There’s never a time when we’re in the gym together when we’re not critiquing each other and learning. That’s the whole point of being in the gym every day. Once you feel you’re learning has stopped, I think you should give it up. We’re always in here trying to sharpen our game.

GARY ANTUANNE RUSSELL

 

 

It’s more enjoyable fighting with my brothers. As a child, if you had three kids and one of them went to school by himself, it would be a little rough. It’s great having that support and the comfort having your brothers on the same card.

 

 

 

We try to gravitate towards our brother and take certain things from him. We notice his hand speed and we’re his younger brothers, of course we have that alter ego where we think we could be faster than him or hit harder than him. That competitiveness drives us. It’s always there.

 

GARY RUSSELL SR.

 

 

 

The camp has been good. We’ve been getting the work in. Everybody seems to be on point. We’re always in camp together.

 

 

 

JoJo Diaz has a lot of confidence. All fighters pretty much all do the same thing, unless they have incredible physical attributes that make them stand out. JoJo believes in himself and that’s something that’s a plus for any fighter. Whether or not he’s ready to go out of his shell, které se teprve uvidí. He loves his left hand, he tries to go to the body. He impressed me as a good inside fighter.

 

 

 

This is a huge plus for us. We’re only 15 minutes from home. We just get to do what we have to do and go home.

 

 

 

Antonio is a really hard puncher. A lot of people don’t know it, but for that weight class, he hits extremely hard. Antuanne is starting to develop into a complete fighter. He’s always learning. You never get to the point where you have it all, it’s a constant growth but he’s really starting to understand the technical aspects of the sport. I’m happy with both of them.
