RONALD ELLIS vs. JUNIOR YOUNAN – 10-Round Super Middleweight

 

Ellis returns to ShoBox in his first bout since defeating Christopher Brooker via a unanimous decision in Atlantic City last January. In his ShoBox debut, Ellis fought Jerry Odom to a majority draw in Atlantic City in February 2016.
 

Originally from Lynn, Mass., the 28-year-old Ellis currently lives and trains in Los Angeles at the Iron Gym under trainer Jerry Rosenberg and his father Ronald Ellis Sr.
 

“It’s going to be fireworks from the jump,” said Ellis, who was scheduled to fight Taneal Goyco in November, but the fight was scrapped when Goyco weighed three pounds over the super middleweight limit. “Younan is a good little fighter, but we are trying to get him out of there. Dette er min første main event, and I want to impress. It will be a good way to start 2018, which will be my year.”
 

Ellis upset highly regarded Terrell Gausha to win the 2010 Nationale Golden Gloves. Gausha would go on to represent the U.S. ved 2012 Olympiske Lege.
 

Younan, who is promoted by Roc Nation Sports, was a highly touted amateur boxer who compiled a 90-5 record before turning professional in 2013 i en alder af 18. Once dubbed by The New York Times as “a boxing prodigy” as a 10-year-old, Younan was a two-time National Junior Golden Gloves champion, den 2011 National Junior Olympic championship, and at one point was the No. 1-rated junior boxer in his weight class by USA Boxing.
 

Because of injuries, Younan fought just one time in 2015. After a nine-month layoff, he returned in March of 2016 to beat Cristian Solorzano and has remained active since. Eight of Younan’s 13 pro wins have ended in the first round, including three of his last five fights. The 22-year-old is trained by his father, Sherif Younan
 

“It’s a pleasure to fight on SHOWTIME and I’m excited to put on a show for all the viewers,” Younan said. “I’ve been working as hard as possible and I’m confident my efforts will pay off. I’m going to break my opponent’s spirit and pick him apart. This is my time – in 2018, I’m looking to make a title run and this fight is just the first step.”
 

WELLINGTON ROMERO vs. SAM TEAH – Eight-Round Super Lightweight

 

Romero is originally from the Dominican Republic now fighting out of Newburgh, New York. A southpaw, he fights under the Roc Nation Sports promotion and represented the Dominican Republic in the 2012 London Olympics, where he lost to eventual Gold Medalist Vasyl Lomachenko.

 

An accomplished amateur with 268 slagsmål, Romero earned a bronze medal at the 2010 Central American Games and made back-to-back appearances at the 2011 World Amateur Boxing Championships and the 2011 Pan American Games as a teenager.
 

The 26-year-old Romero fought twice in 2017, recording TKOs in both wins over Kevin Womack Jr. and Mike Fowler.
 

“This fight on SHOWTIME is a great opportunity for me to showcase my talent and I want to thank God, my team and everyone involved for this opportunity,” Romero said. “I’m going to deliver a world class performance for all the boxing fans out there to enjoy. After defeating my opponent, I know I will make a lasting impression on the viewers and start paving my way to a world title belt.”
 

This won’t be the first time Philadelphia’s Teah is facing an undefeated fighter on ShoBox. In Las Vegas in 2015, Teah scored a unanimous decision over previously undefeated O’Shaquie Foster. The 30-year-old’s only loss came against then-undefeated Lavisas Williams in 2014.
 

Født i Liberia, Teah did not start boxing until the age of 19. His last four fights have been close to home with three in his hometown of Philadelphia and the other two in Bristol, Pa., and Atlantic City, N.J.
 

“I know my opponent was an Olympian, and he has been in front of a lot of great fighters,” Teah said. “I am excited to face him and take the big challenge. I know I will be his toughest opponent. I am ready to see what he is made of.”
 

THOMAS MATTICE vs. ROLANDO CHINEA – Eight-Round Lightweight
 

A 27-year-old from Cleveland, Mattice turned pro in 2014 and had an amateur record of 72-18. He was a three-time Ohio State Golden Gloves champion, and bronze medal winner in the USA National Tournament in 2014.
 

In his last fight on Nov. 11, Mattice beat Orlando Rizo via seventh-round stoppage in Georgia. Mattice, who has recorded four straight KOs and eight overall in 10 professionelle kampe, is a boxer-puncher who likes to attack the body.
 

“It’s a tough fight for sure,” Mattice said. “I checked him out. It’s going to be a rough fight, but I am prepared for a war. I am prepared for whatever he will bring. I am excited to fight on ShoBox. Ever since I started boxing, I said one day that will be me fighting on TV, and now that dream comes true.”
 

The 26-year-old Chinea returns to ShoBox after handing previously unbeaten Kenneth Sims Jr., the first loss of his professional career via majority decision on July 14. The win moved Chinea’s ShoBox record to 2-0. He had previously won an eight-round split decision victory over O’Shaquie Foster in 2016.
 

A Puerto Rican native now living in Lancaster, Pa., Chinea suffered his only defeat against the hands of Ismail Muwendo in 2015. He has won five straight since, including two unanimous decisions over previously undefeated Ladarius Miller and Mel Crossty, as well as the unbeaten Sims. His last four opponents had a combined record of 38-1-1.
 

“I know Thomas Mattice is another undefeated fighter with a terrific amateur career,” Chinea said. “I am being brought in as his opponent, to make him look good in his national TV debut. I respect Thomas for agreeing to fight me. I am sure that he will bring his best, and it will be another entertaining fight, Chinea style. I am going to be in the best shape of my career. I am going to be stronger, and I am going to hunt him down, rough him up, and beat him. I can’t wait to fight and win again on ShoBox.”
 

DEVIN HANEY vs. HARMONITO DELA TORRE – Eight-Round Lightweights

 

Haney just turned 19 years old last November and already sports a professional record of 18-0 med 12 knockouts. Trained and managed by his father, William Haney, he has been active with nine fights in 2016 and seven in 2017. In his last fight on Nov. 4, he scored a fifth-round TKO against Hamza Sempewo in Atlanta.
 

Raised in Oakland, Calif., Haney was a seven-time national amateur champion and compiled an impressive record of 130-8. Haney is currently living and training in Las Vegas, where he sparred with Floyd Mayweather as the pound-for-pound champ prepared to face Conor McGregor, and Shawn Porter. Haney turned professional when he was 16 years old in Mexico.
 

“Fighting on SHOWTIME, specifically ShoBox, where many champions have been made, is something I’ve envisioned since I turned professional in 2015,” Haney said. “I’m in tough against Harmonito Dela Torre, a hungry fighter who is coming off his first pro loss. I know his back is up against the wall, so I’m expecting him to bring everything he’s got. But this is my time to shine on the big stage and I’m not going to let this opportunity pass me by. I’m the future of boxing and everyone will see my talent on February 2, especially Dela Torre.”
 

Dela Torre is a 23-year-old Philippines native who has been training with Osmiri Fernandez in Miami the past few months at the Sanman Boxing Gym.
 

Dela was scheduled to fight last on Aug. 22 in Las Vegas in a super featherweight bout against undefeated Saul Rodriguez, who inexplicably pulled out of the matchup a few days before the fight.
 

I stedet, Dela Torre entered the ring in Las Vegas on Nov. 18 and suffered his first loss against 2012 Olympic silver medalist Tugstsogt Nyambayar in an eight-round unanimous decision, despite scoring a second-round knockdown. It was the first time in his first nine fights that Nyambayar was taken the distance.
 

Barry Tompkins will call the ShoBox action from ringside with Steve Farhood and former world champion Raul Marquez serving as expert analysts. Den udøvende producent Gordon Hall med Richard Gaughan producere og Rick Phillips dirigere.

Her er hvad de krigere havde at sige om deres januar 20 dueller og mere:
ROBERT PÅSKE (20-0, 14 KOS) – Gør tredje forsvar af IBF Letvægts verden titel
“Denne kamp kan definitivt sat en god tone for mig i 2018. Jeg har tænkt mig at være at gøre en erklæring med denne kamp. Mine sidste tre kampe, jeg har ikke fået en knockout. Jeg har tænkt mig at være at give mine fans og kæmpe fans et godt show.
“Jeg har tænkt mig at bruge min rækkevidde og længde og ødelægge denne fyr udefra. Alle min karriere har jeg kæmpet kortere fyre. Hver kort fyr kæmper ikke det samme. Men du får i ringen, og du føler ham ud og foretage justeringer.
“Der er ikke noget særligt, at jeg er nødt til at forberede sig til med Fortuna. Jeg tager hver kamp de samme. Hver fighter kæmper forskellige, så du komme derind, føler ham ud og foretage justeringer, som du går sammen. Jeg er ikke bekymret for ham at være en southpaw. Jeg har konfronteret masser af venstreorienterede i min karriere, og i de amatører. Det er ingen problemer overhovedet.
“Jeg tror det, der gør mig mere farlig bokser i denne kamp er at have den højde, jeg gør, og det stansning magt og hastighed og den tankegang samt. Min tankegang er, at jeg ikke har tænkt mig derind for at lege med ham. Jeg er klar til at ødelægge.
“Mine mål for 2018 er til at fange flere titler og få forening anfald. Vi havde et par mestre i vægtklassen, men det lader til, at ingen er villig til at kæmpe de andre mestre. Vi er villige til at gøre, hvad det tager, kæmpe den, der har titlerne. Vi er villige til at indfange alle de titler, når de andre gutter er villige til at melde sig til kampene.”
JAVIER FORTUNA (33-1-1, 23 KOS) – Tidligere Super Fjervægt verdensmester
“Min forberedelse til denne kamp går meget godt. Jeg har arbejdet i Den Dominikanske Republik, men jeg er kommet tilbage til Boston til at afslutte min uddannelse. Lige nu er vi ved 75% og lukker på 100%. Jeg vil være helt forberedt, når det er tid til at kæmpe. Min forberedelse og min strategi gør mig mere farlig fyr.
“Jeg ser dette som ingen anden kamp, ​​som jeg har haft før, fordi hver modstander er anderledes. Alle har deres egen niche på dette niveau, noget, der virker for dem. Hans niche er, at han er høj. Han bruger det til sin fordel. Men det er ikke noget, som jeg ikke kan overvinde. Jeg har kæmpet høje fyre før.
“Jeg foretrækker mine modstandere til at være højere. Det spiller ind, hvad jeg er i stand til at gøre. Jeg har aldrig haft et problem med højere modstandere. Abner Cotto (5-10) er en af ​​høje fyre, jeg kæmpede. Jeg kæmpede i Chicago og lægge på en stor præstation. (Fortuna scorede et 5th runde KO mod Cotto)
“Mit mål for 2018 er at bekæmpe alle de øverste elite krigere i min vægtklasse, og jeg prøver at blive nævnt som en af ​​de bedste i sporten. Jeg vil virkelig gerne vinde en anden verden titel i en anden vægtklasse. Det ville være den største øjeblik hidtil i min karriere at få en anden verden titel.”
MARCUS BROWNE (20-0, 15 KOS) – Top 10 Vurderet på 175 lbs. (WBC, WBO, WBA & IBF)
“Min modstander (Francy Ntetu, 17-1, 4 KOS) ligner en holdbar, hård fyr. Jeg ser denne kamp bliver meget spændende for fans, så længe det varer. Jeg så en lille smule af tape på ham. Jeg ved, han kommer altid i tip-top form, og jeg hører, at han er konsekvent i sin præstation i ringen. I just know I’m going to have to be sharp on Jan. 20.
“Det er altid en ære at kæmpe her i hjemmet og på Barclays Centre. Det er særligt at være i stand til at udføre foran disse fans, og jeg kan ikke vente med at sætte på en god præstation fører op til Spence vs. Peterson kamp.
“Denne kamp kunne sætte mig i den position, som jeg har brug for at være i at kæmpe for en verden titel. Jeg kan ikke mangle på nogen måde. Jeg er nødt til at komme ud stærk med en stor præstation fra start til slut og efterlader ingen tvivl derinde.
“For 2018, Jeg ønsker at blive en verdensmester. Jeg er fast besluttet på tomake det ske i år. That vision starts on Jan. 20 at Barclays Center against Francy Ntetu.”
FRANCY NTETU (17-1, 4 KOS) – Kæmpede David Benavidez på Barclays Centre i juni 2015
“I know Marcus Browne is probably taking me lightly and thinks he will simply go through me. Jeg håber, det er tilfældet, fordi det vil være et chok for ham, fans og hans team, når jeg tager hans plads i linje for en titel. Jeg ønsker at møde Eleider Alvarez i vores hjemby Montreal, efter at jeg får denne sejr.
“Min tidligere kamp på Barclays Center mod den nuværende WBC mester David Benavidez var naturligvis en meget dårlig beslutning af dommeren til at stoppe kampen, især når jeg var ved at vinde runden og Benavidez blev langsommere. Jeg var ved at blive stærkere, mens han var ved at blive svagere.
“Jeg har aldrig været skadet og aldrig blevet tabt i en kamp. Jeg vil have Marcus at udfordre sig selv og se, om han kan gøre noget ingen andre har. Jeg er spændt på at være i en kamp af denne størrelsesorden. Marcus, er det tid for os at give fans, hvad de ønsker!”
ADAM Kownacka (16-0, 13 KOS) – Oprindeligt fra Polen & kæmper ud af Brooklyn
“Denne kamp vil være endnu et skridt mod at blive en mester. Jeg ved, at jeg har tænkt mig at skulle arbejde meget hårdt og bevise, at jeg fortsætter med at bygge videre på min sejr mod Szpilka. Fra videoen har jeg set på Iago Kiladze (26-1, 18 KOS), Han bevæger sig meget, så jeg vil være behov for at afskære ringen. Uanset hvad han bringer til ringen, Jeg vil gerne have et svar til.
“Tre år i træk nu har jeg kæmpet i januar. Jeg elsker starter ud året stærk. Min kone og jeg startede faktisk en tradition for “Kownacki Family Run” på midnat on New Year’s Eve. Da jeg altid forbereder en kamp omkring nytår, vi var vi kunne lige så godt have det sjovt, mens vi arbejder. Så, vi har nogle venner komme ud og køre et par miles med os rundt i kvarteret i løbet af fyrværkeri. Det er sjovt og hjælper med at få mig klar.
“I sidste ende, Jeg glæder mig til at blive den bedste i den tunge afdeling. Det endelige mål for i år er at blive verdensmester. Men det allerførste skridt tager Iago Kiladze meget alvorligt. I can’t look past Januar 20 lige nu. Jeg har en hård modstander, som vil udfordre og gøre mig til en bedre fighter i det lange løb.”
Iago Kiladze, Tredje kamp siden flytte op til tunge division (2-0, 2 KOS)
“I feel great and my training has been terrific. Min træner er Freddie Roach nu. Jeg diskuteret med (IBF cruiservægt Champion) Murat Gassiev tre gange for nylig, som er fantastisk forberedelse til mig. I believe I can knockout Kownacki but if I have to go the distance I’m prepared for that. Uanset, Jeg vil være sejrrig. Jeg er føler, at jeg er den mere kvalificerede fighter og der vil vise i ringen.
“Dette er en stor kamp for min karriere og en fantastisk start for 2018. I know that if I win this fight I’ll be that much closer to a world title opportunity.
“Mit mål er at være en verdensmester i slutningen af 2018. I want to continue improving and learning under Freddie and with his guidance I’m confident of success.”

Billetter i salg Lørdag, December 23 på 10 a.m. PST!
LAS VEGAS (December 21, 2017) – To-division verdensmester Danny “Swift” Garcia vender tilbage til ringen for at tage på den tidligere verdensmester Brandon “Bam Bam” Rios i en weltervægt opgør på Lørdag, Februar 17 lever videre SHOWTIME på Mandalay Bay Events Center i Las Vegas og præsenteret af Premier Boxing Champions.
I co-feature, boksning yngste verdensmester David “The Red Flag” Benavidez will defend his Super Middleweight World Championship for the first time against Ronald Gavril in a rematch of their thrilling September 2017 bout in which Benavidez won the vacant title by split decision.
The card is promoted by Mayweather Promotions and TGB Promotions in association with DSG Promotions. The Benavidez-Gavril rematch is co-promoted by Sampson Boxing. Tickets for the live event go on sale Lørdag, December. 23 på 10 a.m. PST and will be available at AXS.com.
“I’m excited just to get back in the ring,” Said Garcia, who was reigning world champion for the better part of six years dating back to his win over Hall of Famer Erik Morales in 2012 til marts 2017. “I needed the time off to recuperate and let my body heal.”
Garcia (33-1, 19 KOS) was a unified world champion at super lightweight and welterweight and has fought and defeated many of the most formidable opponents in both divisions spanning two generations-Morales, Zab Judah, Kendall Holt, Amir Khan, Lucas Matthysse, Paulie Malignaggi and Lamont Peterson among them. Four of his five opponents in the welterweight division were world champions and 10 af hans sidste 14 opponents were world champions or former world champions.
“I was the reigning champion for six years, so I needed the rest,” continued the 29-year old Philadelphia fighter. “I’m ready to kick off the year in style and take over the welterweight division.”
I sin sidste kamp, a welterweight clash of world title holders, Garcia lost via split decision to now unified 147-pound world champion Keith Thurman in a hard-fought, exciting fight that aired live on CBS. The SHOWTIME BOXING on CBS broadcast drew the biggest boxing audience of the year, mere end fem millioner seere, der fortsat den største publikum at være vidne til et primetime boksning udsendelse siden 1998.
Nu, Garcia ser ud til at genetablere sin engang dominerende stilling på weltervægt, en division, der kan prale flere top-10 pund-for-pund krigere i sporten end nogen anden vægtklasse; krigere herunder verdensmestre Errol Spence Jr., Thurman, Shawn Porter, Kell Brook, Lamont Peterson og mere.
“Det interessante i denne kamp med Brandon Rios er vores stilarter. Vi begge gerne komme frem. Denne form for matchup vil bringe det bedste frem i os begge. Jeg er spændt på at være tilbage i Las Vegas. Jeg har haft nogle af mine bedste præstationer, og nogle af mine største kampe der. Jeg slog Lucas Matthysse og Amir Khan i Vegas. Du kæmper i Las Vegas, du er en superstjerne,” tilføjet Garcia.
Ligesom Garcia, Rios har kæmpet mange af de øverste weltervægt i denne æra, herunder verdensmestre Timothy Bradley og Manny Pacquiao. Den benhård Slugger fra Oxnard, Calif., har 34 vinder, 25 af knockout. Den 31-årige Rios kommer altid parat til at kæmpe. Med en aggressiv stil og granit hage, han er en af ​​de mest underholdende boksere i sporten. I sin sidste kamp scorede han en TKO sejr over Aaron Herrera på Juni 11. En sejr over Garcia, en top-10 weltervægt i sin egen ret, ville straks ændre løbet af Rios’ karriere og krav om, at han skal placeres blandt de top-rangerede i divisionen.
“Jeg er spændt på at bevise mine kritikere galt igen,” Said Rios. “Jeg bringe en ’Bam Bam’ Rios slugfest til mine fans. Danny er en stor fighter, but I will beat him just like I have beat others in the past. I am focused and will make this a classic Mexican-Puerto Rican battle!”
“SHOWTIME is poised to start the year with two crucial welterweight main event matchups,” sagde Stephen Espinoza, Executive Vice President og General Manager for SHOWTIME Sports®. “Following the January 20th event pitting Errol Spence Jr. vs. Lamont Peterson, Garcia vs. Rios features two of the most battle-tested and ferocious 147-pound fighters in the world. Add in the Benavidez vs. Gavril II co-feature, a fight that is guaranteed to deliver dramatic action, and we are picking up right where we left off in 2017 delivering the most compelling and important matchups in boxing’s deepest divisions.”
“We’re looking forward to the action at Mandalay Bay Events Center in February,” Said Leonard Ellerbe, CEO Mayweather Promotions. “Both Garcia and Rios are seasoned fighters that have faced the toughest competition in the welterweight division and they are both very hungry for a big win. Den co-funktionen omkamp mellem den yngste regerende verdensmester David Benavidez og udfordrer Ronald Gavril vi allerede ved vil være spændende. Alle fire af disse mænd har bevist, at de vil sætte det hele på spil i bokseringen at efterlader ingen tvivl om, hvem den bedre manden er. Desuden, Vi arbejder på en crowd-glædeligt undercard nu. Alle på dette kort skal medbringe deres ’Et spil’ to Las Vegas in order to be victorious on Februar 17.”
“Danny Garcia er en af ​​de mest kamp-testet, dygtige boksere i sporten. What he did in running through the 140-pound division before moving up to welterweight is simply amazing,” sagde Tom Brown, Formand for TGB Promotions. “‘Bam Bam’ Rios is a throwback warrior. He never met a fight that he backed down from. Putting Garcia and Rios into the ring against each other promises nothing but fireworks in a match that should provide maximum entertainment for fans. It’s the kind of fight that belongs in Las Vegas, a classic battle that harkens to welterweight wars of the past. The first match between Benavidez and Gavril left enough room for doubt that a rematch should settle any remaining questions. I’d expect both boxers to come in with something to prove and that translates into a fan-friendly match.”
The 21-year-old Benavidez (19-0, 17 KOS) became the youngest reigning world champion in boxing and the youngest 168-pound champion in history at 20-years, ni måneder gammel, da han scorede et split beslutning mod Gavril at vinde super mellemvægt titel på September 8. Den kamp featured flere gynger af momentum, spændende udvekslinger og en vild 12th omgang. Benavidez og Gavril skubbede hinanden for at levere den bedste ydeevne af deres respektive karrierer hidtil.
“Jeg føler, at jeg vandt kampen,” sagde Gavril umiddelbart efter beslutningen. “Jeg dominerede tempoet. Jeg kan ikke sige noget andet… Det eneste jeg kan gøre er at bede om en omkamp.”
På Februar 17, Gavril vil få det.
“Ingen undskyldninger denne gang,” sagde Sampson Lewkowicz af Sampson Boxing. “I det øjeblik Benavidez færdig kampen jeg anmodede om omkamp-på vegne af vinderen-alene af den grund, at han havde brug for at vinde ved eftertrykkeligt og ikke opdelt beslutning. Jeg ønskede offentligheden at være i stand til at have den omkamp, ​​så alle vil vide, hvem den bedste er. Jeg forventer denne gang Gavril vil sige, at han virkelig er blevet slået. Som den yngste regerende mester i sporten i dag, Jeg ønsker ikke i tvivl om, at Benavidez er det bedre menneske. It was a great fight the first time and this time we’ll see who the best truly is. Ingen undskyldninger. No doubt.”
Kæmper ud af Phoenix, Ariz., Benavidez had scored 10 straight knockouts leading up to the match against Gavril. His eight-round KO victory over Rogelio Medina put him position for the vacant title.
“This is a fight that my father, my team and I decided to take again to show everybody that I’m really the champion and there’s more to me than just being the youngest world champion,” Benavidez said. “I feel like I’m the better fighter and I’m going to definitely show it this time. I learned from that first fight that he puts on a lot of pressure. He likes to throw at the same time that I’m throwing. There are a couple different approaches to take against that. It’s going to be a great night of fights. Danny Garcia and ‘Bam Bam’ Rios, these are two fighters I look up to in the sport and it’s an honor to fight in their undercard. My training has been going well. We decided to bring in a strength and conditioning coach and I feel really strong. I believe I’ll be very prepared.”
Gavril (18-2, 14 KOS) rose rapidly through the ranks by scoring seven straight victories including four by knockout since 2015. The 31-year-old Gavril was born in Bacau, Romania and now lives and fights out of Las Vegas. He fought a brilliant match against Benavidez, seizing control in the middle rounds and even dropping the young contender in the 12th with less than a minute left in the fight. I sidste ende, it wasn’t enough as Gavril lost on two of the three judges’ scorecards.
“I can’t wait to get into the ring again and take that belt,” said Gavril. “I learned his game plan quickly during the first fight, I blocked it well then, and I plan to do the same again. He has fast hands and power, I won’t take that from him, but I am prepared for whatever plan he comes in the ring with. I know I have what it takes to win this time. Preparing for this fight the second time around has been different, training has been more intense, and my team is preparing me to take him out once and for all. I can’t let him win. Some people said I won back in September, and were surprised by my performance. I thought it was close, and I thought the knock down gave me the advantage to win. All I can do is be ready. I don’t think either of us will upset the fans on fight night. I want to thank Floyd Mayweather and Leonard for another opportunity against Benavidez. He’s a great fighter and tough competitor and this will certainly be a great fight.”

Her er, hvad pressemødet deltagerne havde at sige Mandag fra Conga Room på L.A. Levende:

 

Mikey GARCIA

 

“A world champion like Sergey Lipinets is more exciting an opponent for me than an easy title defense. I wanted a challenge and this man presents that. He’s a bigger man naturally. He’s going to be very hungry and motivated. He knows a victory over me launches his career to the top. That’s going to make this an interesting fight.

 

“To win a world title in a fourth division is a big deal to me. My dad always wanted a three-division world champion, and now I have a chance to give him a fourth title. That’s something that really excites me.

 

“It’s been a great return to boxing since my layoff. When I came back, I wanted to move fast and take on big challenges. That’s what we’ve been doing so far. I want to take on any challenges that people think I can’t achieve. I think slowly we’re proving to everyone that I’m better than ever and I’m going to keep taking on the kinds of fights that will cement my legacy.

 

“It would be a great accomplishment to be in the discussion with guys like Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez, that would be a win in itself. But it wasn’t on my mind when taking this fight. I just want to keep fighting the best out there. There’s still more for me to accomplish until I’m on the same level as Pacquiao and Marquez.

 

“It’s going to be a great fight. Like I’ve said, the challenge for me is that I’ll be fighting the bigger man. Ved Fight Night, that advantage he has on me might be enough to make it that much more exciting. It will be interesting to see how well I adapt to the size. I have to make adjustments to overcome those challenges. This should give the fans the excitement that we want to give them.

 

“My only focus is on Februar 10 against Sergey Lipinets. That’s my target throughout the entire camp. There may be more opportunities for me on the horizon, but you’ll see on fight night that I’m one hundred percent focused.

 

“I know that I have the possibility to be the biggest star in boxing like a Floyd Mayweather, and I think I’m on track to accomplish that. I don’t see a lot of guys in the sport with the resume of accomplishments that I have. I’m going to continue take on the best and beat my opponents convincingly.”

 

SERGEY LIPINETS

 

“Mikey Garcia is a great champion and I want to be in the position that he’s reached in this sport. The only way there is to go through him.

 

“I’m taking on a great challenge against Mikey Garcia, and many people think I’m not ready. This is the fight that I wanted. I’ve had many obstacles in my way throughout my career and I’ve overcome them all. I’m going to overcome Mikey Garcia just like that.

 

“Every time I have sparred with top fighters, like Terrence Crawford, I have learned more about what I need to improve to get to the next level in this sport. That kind of experience has helped my confidence increase and will help me when I face Mikey Garcia.

 

“A lot of things can happen when you move up in weight. Usually people use some pop. Whatever version of Mikey Garcia shows up; I’ll be ready for him.

 

“I believe I’m going to win, Mikey believes he’s going to win, and it will all unveil in the ring. One thing I can guarantee; det vil være en stor kamp.

 

“Every fight I’ve had has been against a tough opponent who has helped get me to this point. Nu, I’m ready to fight the best, and Mikey Garcia is truly that.

 

“I had to work very hard to make the transition from champion kickboxer to a champion boxer. I did everything I had to do, moving from gym to gym and sparring everyone. I always aimed for the best and wanted to be the best at what I do.”

 

ROBERT GARCIA, Mikey’s Brother & Trainer

 

“We know that Sergey Lipinets is a very dangerous fighter. He’s a really strong champion. I know he’s going to be hungry because he wants to become a big name by beating Mikey.

 

“Mikey is very smart in the ring. We’re going to come in there with a good game plan. We’ll have some big sparring partners. Strong, heavy guys who will give Mikey a big challenge in sparring.

 

“Mikey has to be in great shape for this fight. You can easily win the first eight rounds, but there are still four left. You have to be able to finish the fight. A great power puncher like Lipinets can finish you in one round.”

 

BUDDY MCGIRT, Lipinets’ Trainer

 

“We will be prepared for any and every thing. This way, when fight night comes, we’ll have an answer for everything. The key is that we just have to be on point from the opening bell to the end. There’s no way around it.

 

“We’re going to cover everything in training camp. You have to have every option available to you on fight night. This way, you’re never surprised in the ring. Sergey won’t go in there swinging to get a knockout, he’s going to be disciplined and focus on getting the victory.

 

“I believe that Sergey is on a mission. I know Mikey Garcia is on a mission too, and I respect that. I respect that these two men are fighting each other. Champions do what Sergey is doing, and that’s fighting the best.”

 

RICHARD Schäfer, Formand & CEO for Ringstar Sport

 

“This is going to be a huge night for the 140-pound division. It will be another toe-to-toe showdown at the Alamodome in San Antonio, where so many great matchups have taken place before. Billetter starter kl $20 so we expect another great crowd of fight fans down in Texas.

 

“This matchup features two undefeated fighters, two big punchers and 50 vinder, 40 af knockout, between the two of them. These guys are both champions who are daring to be great. These are exactly the kind of fighters that the public likes. These fighters will push themselves to be great.

 

“These guys only know one thing, and that is winning. Sergey Lipinets is the biggest puncher at 140-pounds and it seems like Mikey Garcia always seeks out these big punchers.

 

“Mikey is looking to do something that only Manny Paccquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez have done, in moving up from 126 pounds through 140 pounds winning titles at each division. It is very difficult to carry that power up from featherweight. You have to tune-in to see an exciting fighter like that trying to make history.”

 

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Executive Vice President & General Manager, SHOWTIME Sports

 

“What boxing needs are great fights. Good, high quality matchups like Leo Santa Cruz vs. Carl Frampton, Keith Thurman vs. Danny Garcia and Errol Spence vs. Kell Brook. There needs consistently be good fights, and that’s what we have been doing at SHOWTIME for the last couple of years. No other network has done the quality of fights that SHOWTIME is doing. No other network is as committed to the sport as SHOWTIME has been.

 

“The best need to fight the best, and that is what Mikey Garcia has done. He came off of a two-and-a-half-year layoff and i 18 måneder he’s had four fights, two title fights and will be going for a title in a fourth weight class, something only Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez have done before. That’s what great fighters do.

 

“Historically the fighters who separate themselves as legendary, are the ones who challenge themselves and travel across weight classes to seek these challenges. But there are two sides to this story. Those who have been paying attention have seen Sergey Lipinets make a lot of noise on SHOWTIME cards lately. He has risen very quickly.

 

“If you just look at Lipinets’ record, 13-0, and think about him fighting Mikey Garcia it would sound crazy. But if you look at the kind of competition he’s faced, his last seven opponents have a combined record of 163-15. That’s not something you usually see 13 fights into a career. Lipinets is a combat veteran, and whatever happens in the ring, he will be ready for it. It’s going to make for an exciting night.”

Garcia er medlem af en berømt boksning familie, og er kendt for sin sportsånd og sin overordnede tilstedeværelse i ringen, finpudset af sin bror og roste træner Robert Garcia.

A win for Mikey is another feather in his cap and will help him be recognized as pound-for-pound best in the world. I’m happy to be back in San Antonio at the Alamodome. I’ve promoted some big fights there. San Antonio fight fans are in for a real treat seeing two of the best fighting each other. I’m sure the fans will embrace this fight.”
“We have another intriguing matchup of two young, hungry undefeated fighters who lay it on the line every time they step into the ring,” sagde Tom Brown, Formand for TGB Promotions. “As talented as Mikey is, you can’t count Lipinets out. He’s one of the hardest hitters in the 140-pound division. He’s a tough competitor and there’s a reason why he’s a world champion. He knows this is a career-defining fight and he’s going to do everything he can to spoil the party for Garcia in San Antonio on Feb. 10.”
“In three consecutive fights on SHOWTIME since his return to the sport, Mikey Garcia has solidified his position on boxing’s pound-for-pound lists,” sagde Stephen Espinoza, Executive Vice President og General Manager, SHOWTIME Sports. “Mikey has proven he’s willing to take on the most avoided opponents in any division as he seeks out the biggest possible matchups in the sport. He’ll face yet another dangerous opponent in Sergey Lipinets, an undefeated champion in his own right, as he seeks to become a four-division world champion. On the heels of Errol Spence vs. Lamont Peterson on Januar 20, a matchup of consensus top-10 welterweights, we’re proud to deliver this main event of top-5 ranked fighters to build on the momentum.”
Barthelemy (26-0, 13 KOS), who was born in Arroyo Naranjo, Cuba and now lives in Las Vegas, has won world titles at 130 og 135 pounds. He defeated Relikh by unanimous decision in his debut at 140 pound in his last fight on Maj 20. If he defeats Relikh again, he will become the first Cuban boxer to win world championships in three different weight classes. He defeated Argenis Mendez by unanimous decision to win the 130-pound world title in 2014 and a year later scored a unanimous decision over Denis Shafikov for the 135-pound world title. Barthelemy, 31, has two brothers, Yan and Leduan, who are professional boxers who he trains alongside with under the tutelage of Ismael Salas.
Relikh (21-2, 19 KOS) believes that he won the first match with Barthelemy and that the scorecards did not reflect the competitive nature of the fight. The 28-year-old nearly had Barthelemy out after landing a barrage of punches that penned Barthelemy on the ropes, but he was only awarded a knockdown. In the eighth round, Barthelemy came back to drop Relikh with a body shot. Shortly after the Maj 20 title eliminator, the WBA ordered a rematch, this time to be contested for the vacant 140-pound title. This will be Relikh’s second world title shot after the fighter from Minsk, Belarus lost a unanimous decision to Ricky Burns in Glasgow, Scotland on Oct. 7, 2016.

“There is no doubt I will start 2018 with a win. Then I just take it one fight at a time. Right now my focus is Nelson.

 

“I’m excited to be on SHOWTIME as the first fight of the year, and just to be back inside the ring. I feel I have been the face of women’s boxing for some time now. I don’t let it feel like pressure – I just work really hard in the gym.

 

“In 2018 I expect great fights against the best contenders. I expect to make history again on SHOWTIME and also looking forward to dropping to 160 to fight against [Christina] Hammer mid-2018. January 12th will be the beginning of great things to come

 

“Training through the holidays is fine. The difference between the amateurs and now is that I was always in other countries competing. Now I get to be home with my family getting ready and I feel good.

 

“The matchup to me will play out with the first few rounds of me using my jab. Then I’ll add the combinations as the fight goes on. I see it being competitive though. I’m going to earn the win. I believe I can KO her by the sixth, syvende runde.”
