Read below to learn more about the two fighters before their main event showdown:
JESUS ​​CUELLAR

1. If you could have one super power, Qué podría ser?

It would be super strength. My nephew already calls me The Incredible Hulk.

2. What is something that people would be surprised to know about you?

I’m a very good cook. I can cook lots of things for myself. I love cooking for my family.

3. What is your favorite snack?

A torta dulce, a sweet sandwich served in Latin American countries throughout the world.

4. Least favorite food?

I hate pickles.

5. What do you do for extra motivation?

I watch the movie “300” during training and before fights.

6. What is your favorite book?

My favorite book is “Martin Fierro,” a 2316-line poem written by Argentina’s Jose Hernandez.

7. If you weren’t a boxer, what would you be doing?

I would want to be a horse jockey. Their job is very interesting. My body would look a lot different, but I think I could be good at it.

8. What is one of your most impressive physical feats?

I’ve done as many as 1,200 sit-ups in a day.

9. Do you have any fight night superstitions?

It’s not really a superstition, but I wear red and white in the ring during every fight.

10. If you could have dinner with one historical figure who would it?

It would be former unified middleweight world champion and Argentine legend Carlos Monzon.
Abner Mares

1. What’s something people might be surprised to learn about you?

I’m a ‘dance dad.’ My oldest daughter Emily is on a dance team that went to the national championship in Connecticut when I fought Leo Santa Cruz. We stopped the workout at the track and the entire team huddled around my iPhone to watch her. It made me really proud – she did really well! She has her winter recital on the night of the fight, but I’m hoping to watch part of it on Facetime while I’m in the locker room.

2. What is a guilty pleasure you have?

It’s definitely my collection of sports cars. I call it my ‘auto wardrobe.’ My favorites are the different Mercedes I have.

3. What’s the most extravagant thing you own?

I wrapped one of my Mercedes in pure gold. That would have to be it.

4. Do you have any business endeavors outside of boxing?

My wife and I just opened up “Nathalie’s Essence of Beauty.” It’s a full service makeup salon in Downey that I’m excited to see grow.

5. What is a food you hate?

Olives. I’ve never liked them and I never will.

6. Who’s your favorite musician?

My favorite music is from Ariel Camacho. He was a regional Mexican singer who died in a car accident in 2015 in Sinaloa, México. He walked me out for my fight against Oquendo and then the band walked me out for my fight against Santa Cruz after Ariel had passed. The band is called Los Plebes de Rancho and “El Karma” is a must-have CD.

7. What is your ideal birthday present?

The one thing my friends always get me that I love is cologne. I have cologne from all different brands from all over the world. I like smelling good.

8. What is your favorite snack?

Definitely a Snickers bar. They’re another guilty pleasure, but not during training camp.

9. If you could have dinner with one historical figure, who would it be?

I would say Pablo Escobar. He’s a guy I couldn’t pass up meeting.

10. If you weren’t a boxer, what would you be doing?

I would want to be an architect. I love the art, structure and function of buildings – homes and offices. From the design, to the way it’s used, it’s something I’m very interested in.

ONE-YEAR IN: Abner Mares & ROBERT GARCIA ON THE ROAD TO DECEMBER 10 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP BOUT LIVE ON SHOWTIME®

Athlete and Coach Discuss Highly Anticipated Featherweight Match-Up vs. Jesus Cuellar from Galen Center at USC

LOS ANGELES (Diciembre 5, 2016) -Diciembre 10 marks a pivotal year for Abner Mares, the highly respected former three-division world champion. It marks over one year since fans saw him enter the ring on television and one year since the newly formed partnership of Mares and revered trainer Robert García. It is a transformed Mares that will enter the ring on Sábado, Diciembre 10 when he takes on current WBA Featherweight World Champion Jesús Cuellar in a Premier Boxing Champions live event on TIEMPO DE LA FUNCION® (10 p.m. Y/7 p.m. PT) de Galen Center en la USC en Los Ángeles.
Los boletos están a la venta en www.galentix.com . The live event is promoted by Ringstar Sports and TGB Promotions and presented in association with Premier Boxing Champions.
This fight is a road marker in a long and successful career for Mares as well as Garcia, who has trained numerous world champions at his two Robert Garcia Boxing Academy gyms in Oxnard, Calif., and Riverside, California. With Mares named one of the top five fighters in California by the Los Angeles Times, both are looking to earn and take home another coveted world championship in the featherweight division.
Q&A with Abner Mares:
You haven’t fought in over a year, but you’ve been in the gym consistently during that time. What has this last year been like for you?
“It’s been really tough not being able to fight this whole year. We’ve been training and staying active the whole year even after my two fights got cancelled. I did full training camps for each fight. Things happen for a reason. I’m with a new coach in Robert Garcia and this year has only helped us get even more ready for this fight and helped us get to know each other as trainer and fighter. Sí, it has been frustrating, but you have to look at the bright side.”
You’ve won three world titles in your career and now you’re fighting for a fourth with Jesus Cuellar. How driven are you to keep winning titles at this point in your career?
“I’m still hungry for more. Once you lose that hunger, you don’t accomplish anything. I’ve been hungry for quite some time now — hungry to prove to people and myself that there’s a lot left in Abner Mares.”
After a year with Robert Garcia, what differences in your approach and style might fans notice in the ring on Diciembre. 10?
“The word I’m using for this camp to sum up what I’ve done with Robert is ‘wise.’ I’m being wiser in there; he’s having me think more in there. That’s pretty much what I’ve learned with Robert. The patience he’s had, that’s what I’ve respected with him. We’ve been together a year and haven’t fought, and any other coach might start to get desperate. But he’s been patient.”
How do you see yourself fitting in right now in the big picture of a currently loaded featherweight division?
“I try not to get ahead of myself, obviamente. Just the simple fact that there are big names in this division gets me excited. Just knowing that my name is still there as one of the respected featherweights says a lot, demasiado, and makes me happy. But it’s one thing for other people to say it, and it’s another thing to prove it. That’s what I’m going to do December 10 — prove that I’m still elite and can make a big bang.”
Q&A with Robert Garcia
What has this last year been like for you working with Abner? It’s rare to see a trainer and fighter pair together more than a year before getting a chance to step into the ring for a fight.
“I’m a strong believer in things happening for a reason. With the fight date continuing to get pushed back that means this is pretty much our fourth training camp together, but I think it’s actually benefitted us. It gave us more time to get to know each other. It’s always better to know your trainer, know how he works. De esa manera, you’re comfortable, and I think that’s a big benefit. Fighting a big, championship fight against a solid champion, it’s given us more time to learn from each other and better prepare ourselves for this fight.”
What’s stood out to you the most about now working with Abner after seeing him from a distance over the years?
“I remember Abner from the Olympics in 2000 and from the first part of his professional career, fighting locally. Following his style, it was a style that I admired. I liked his in-and-outs, he showed he was very skillful. When he became champion and started fighting big names, he became a crowd-pleaser, which fans love, when a fighter comes and gives the crowd what they want to see. But I think Abner still has those skills to still be a crowd-pleaser, but also be able to show that style he showed early in his career. He’s always been a smart fighter with good speed, good power and his footwork is also very good.”
What makes this fight – Cuellar vs. Madres – a special fight?
“It’s a special fight because it’s not an easy fight. We’re fighting probably the strongest of the division. He’s very strong physically and he’s a world champion. That makes the fight, for us, a little more interesting. We’re not fighting for any vacant title – we’re fighting a solid champion. I know him because I’ve trained him. It’s challenging for myself, knowing I made him a world champion and now I have a chance to take the title from him. It’s already a challenge, and now he’s training with Freddie Roach, so that makes it even more challenging.”

En subir al peso ligero…
“En 6'1, se estaba haciendo difícil la toma de 130 libra. Me siento mucho más fuerte ahora que estoy luchando en el peso ligero. Es también más seguro para no ser drenado de entrar en peleas. En mi última pelea, Maté a mi mismo tratando de hacer el peso. Creo que esta es la decisión correcta para mí.”

Estoy mirando para poner en un gran rendimiento para todos los aficionados mexicanos que estarán presentes. Todo el mundo va a ver a un luchador más fuerte cuando me paso en el ring el Diciembre 10.”
En su reciente campo de entrenamiento en California…
“Entrenamiento en California ha sido muy productivo. Tengo mucho bien y mi entrenamiento de fuerza y ​​acondicionamiento se ha ido a un nuevo nivel. Me siento poderosa y sé que voy a estar en mi mejor momento cuando me paso en el ring. Considerándolo todo, que ha sido una gran experiencia de aprendizaje que se resuelve aquí en la costa oeste.”
En la lucha contra el veterano argentino Claudio Rosendo Tapia…
“Yo sé que él acaba de ir la distancia con los dos boxeadores invictos, así que sé que es duradero. Combatientes de la Argentina siempre traerlo. Sé que esta pelea va a ponerse difíciles en algún momento así que voy a estar bien preparado para cualquier cosa que trae. Tengo mucha confianza en mi capacidad para salir victorioso.”
Sobre sus objetivos para 2017…
“2017 será un año donde voy a conseguir cómodo combates en una categoría de peso superior. Mi objetivo principal es mantenerse ocupado y obtener la mayor cantidad de peleas en lo posible. Me veo posiblemente luchando en el peso súper ligero si sigo creciendo. Sólo voy a tomar las cosas día a día.”

Criado en la sección Bushwick de Brooklyn, Serrano gravitó hacia el boxeo al ver a su hermana mayor Cindy, también un luchador profesional. Ella recogió el deporte rápidamente, amasar una 9-1 récord durante una breve carrera amateur en la que ganó el título de los Guantes de Oro de Nueva York en 2008. El joven de 27 años pasaría a pelear por todo el mundo, apoderándose de su primer título mundial en 2011 cuando derrotó a Kimberly Connor para agarrar un cinturón súper pluma.

Su carrera anterior como campeona de peso gallo duró cinco defensas después de que derrotó a la invicta Susie Ramadan para ganar ese cinturón.. Estas carreras extendidas por el campeonato se produjeron después de que se convirtiera en campeona mundial de peso mosca en 2005 al derrotar a Lucia Avalos.

 

Un olímpico que representó a su Ucrania natal, Khytrov también ganó un Campeonato Mundial Amateur antes de convertirse en profesional en 2013. Desde entonces, el joven de 28 años ha dominado en su camino para detener a los contendientes Josh Luteran y Nick Brinson y a los luchadores previamente invictos Maurice Louishomme y Aaron Coley. Khytrov, quien entrena fuera de Brooklyn, ganó un entretenido nocaut en el noveno asalto sobre Paul Méndez en su última apertura en julio pasado. Khytrov ha peleado tres veces anteriormente en ShoBox: La Nueva Generación.

 

Nacido en East Meadow, Nueva York y luchando desde Richmond, Virginia, Aleem fue introducido al boxeo a una edad temprana por sus padres.. Desde que se convirtió en profesional en 2012 a la edad 18, el joven de 23 años ha acabado con toda la competencia frente a él. En 2015, dominó a Emmanuel Sanchez, David Toribio, Oscar Riojas y Carlos Galván antes de derrotar a Jonathan Cepeda en abril. En su última pelea, empató con el prospecto derrotado Demond Nicholson. Buscará aprovechar otra gran oportunidad en Enero 14.

Here is what the participants had to say at the two events:

 

CARL FRAMPTON

 

From Los Angeles:

“This rematch with Leo Santa Cruz is going to be an amazing one. The first one was considered a ‘Fight of the Year’ and I don’t think this can be any different. We’re going to kick-off 2017 con una explosión.

 

“Leo is an amazing fighter and I want to thank him for giving me the chance to fight for his title in July. I was more than happy to give him the rematch straight away. These are the types of fights I want to be involved in.

 

“I thought I won the first fight. I don’t think it was controversial at all. I think I won the fight by three or four rounds. They were definitely close, competitive rounds, but I think I was doing more to win rounds and get the nod. This one is going to be more of the same.

 

“Las Vegas is obviously a bit closer to home for Leo and I’m sure he’ll bring a lot of fans. But I’m bringing at least 4,000 from the UK. Right now I’m the most well-supported fighter in the UK. It’s a great privilege for me.

 

“When I fight people, I feel like I improve the second time. I have a good boxing brain and I can adapt to different situations. The only person I’ve fought twice as a pro was Kiko Martinez and the second time I fought him I won comfortably. Because I learned from the first fight. I know everything about Leo. He fights the same way every single time.

 

“I think our styles just gel really well together. You can expect a great night with a really huge undercard from start to finish.

 

“I know his training may not have been as focused last time as it could have been because of his father. I expect a better Leo Santa Cruz. But in terms of how he fights, I think he’ll fight the same way. It’s a good way to fight and it’s gotten him far. He usually wears people down, but I have serious punching power and that again could be the difference.

 

“If you want people to remember you in 20 o 30 years’ time, you need to fight guys like Leo Santa Cruz. We’ve already been working very hard in the gym and we’re going to do whatever it takes to make sure I remain the champion and bring the title back home to Ireland.”

 

Desde Belfast:

 

“It’s always good to be here in Belfast and see the people. It’s good for them to see great fighters like Leo Santa Cruz in their hometown.

 

“This is going to be a dream come true. It won’t all sink in until I’m out there and ready to perform. Las Vegas is the mecca of boxing. It’s where all the big names go. I’m expecting a big support base from all over the UK and Ireland on Enero 28.

 

“I feel like no matter who I fight, I always get better the second time. I have a good boxing brain and I can adapt to my opponent’s style and use it to my advantage. If you’ve seen me in sparring, if I have a dodgy performance, you know I will get better the second time.

 

“I know how Leo fights, and he knows how I fight. But I can adapt and make changes. I can be a bit more clever than I was last time. I got dragged into the fight more than I wanted to.

 

“Headlining in New York against a great fighter like Leo Santa Cruz was a dream come true. Now I have the opportunity to go to Las Vegas, where Leo has fought a few times. It’ll be his first time in the main event there as well and I’m just excited to get out there and feel the buzz of fight week.

 

“I think this fight could be even better. I gave him his first loss and I’m sure he’s going to come looking for his revenge. But I’m training very hard. I’m in good shape for this point in camp.

 

“There’s no doubt that Leo went through a difficult time with his father’s illness. I also know that Leo trained very hard anyway. He threw about a thousand punches last fight and was throwing all the way to the end. You can’t throw much more than that so I don’t think he’s going to improve his work rate.

 

“I believe he’ll come up with a different game plan but I genuinely believe that I’ll be able to deal with anything he brings to the ring. No va a ser una pelea fácil, but I’ll do whatever it takes to win and I believe I will.

 

“Leo Santa Cruz is a tough fighter with a solid chin. But I believe that if I hit any featherweight, or super featherweight, with a clean shot, that I can knock them out. If I’m a little bit cleaner, then I could knock him out. But I’ll be prepared to go a hard 12 rondas.

 

“I believe if I use my brain a little bit more in this one, and don’t get dragged into his fight, that I can win it more convincingly. But there will be times in this fight where I’ll just have to bite down and fight for my life.

 

“I’m prepared for anything. I’m ready to keep this title in Belfast and then I’m going to return here for a show in Belfast in the summer.”

 

LEO SANTA CRUZ

 

From Los Angeles:

“Carl Frampton is a great fighter. He has the respect of the fans because he has proven that he’s a great champion. I know it’s going to be another very close and exciting fight.

 

“We both train really hard for our families and for the fans. We want to give you all a great show. I know that this rematch is going to be very tough.

 

“I learned from the first fight that every little mistake really matters. One or two could really cost you. I trained hard but without my dad he wasn’t pressuring me like I’m used to. Those things come back to haunt you. It hurt, but it taught me that I have to leave it all in the ring and work every day for what I want.

 

“We’re going to be mentally and physically ready. I’m getting more motivation from having him there. We’ll be making some little changes and we’re going to do a lot better.

 

“I’m motivated to get my belt back. I was a champion and now I’m a former champion. That makes me unhappy. We’re going to train hard and do our best to become a champion again.

 

“We’re going to go to the gym and train hard to make this fight even better than the first one.”

 

Desde Belfast:

 

“This is a very nice city and when I knew there would be a rematch, I wanted to come to Belfast. This is the first time I’ve been to Europe.

 

“It was a very hard fight and right after it was over, the first thing that came to my head was a rematch.

 

“Las Vegas is a lot closer to my hometown and I feel very comfortable fighting there. Carl Frampton has a lot of fans though, and they’re going to fly over to Vegas. I think it will be a pretty even crowd and I don’t see it as an advantage for anyone.

 

“It was a pretty close fight the first time. When you’re in the ring you’re only worried about fighting. It could have gone either way. I thought being the champion, that it should have gone my way. But I won’t take anything away from Frampton. We’re looking to the future and beating him in the rematch.

 

“The fans here have made me feel very welcome since the first fight. I feel comfortable here. I’m excited to be here in Belfast with these great fans.

 

“I was disappointed but it was a very close fight the first time. He had the bigger crowd and the Irish people would scream for everything he did. It was a really good close fight though. I really think it could have gone either way.

 

“Carl Frampton is a great fighter and I knew it would be a tough fight. I didn’t get to train for that fight like I was supposed to. My father was going through cancer treatment so I wasn’t 100 percent in the training. I was thinking about my dad’s health and he was only really there for the last three weeks of camp. We’re going to have a great game plan and it’s going to be another tough fight, but we’re looking to get the victory.

 

“If you watched the first fight you know that it was a great fight. The second one is going to be even better. I took my first defeat. Él es un gran luchador, but I want to win this rematch. If I win the rematch, I’m fine bringing the third fight of the trilogy to Belfast.”

 

DEJAN ZLATICANIN

 

“Everyone thinks that Garcia is a pound-for-pound star but I want to tell everyone that I’m going to win this fight.

 

“Everything in preparations has been going great. Estaré 100% ready on Enero 28. Esta es la pelea de mi vida. I have to be ready and we’re right on track.

 

“I always respected fighters like Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. or a fighter like Mike Tyson because whoever they were supposed to fight they fought. I’m the same way, an old school fighter who’s willing to fight anybody.

 

“I came up the hard way, and sometimes I thought I might never get this opportunity. I’ve been in some really tough fights where people gave me no chance to win, but now I’m a world champion.

 

“To be the first world champion from Montenegro is historic. I think it’s made me a national hero in the country and I’m honored. The people in my country love me and I love them back.

 

“When I beat Mikey Garcia that will make me an even bigger star. I think Mikey is a good puncher, and he has good timing, but I can hit him easily and I’m planning to knock him out.”

 

“Mikey will have a big opponent in front of him. He needs to run around the ring because I’m going to come for him. You will see me defend my title and you will enjoy it.”

 

MIKEY GARCIA

 

“I’m thankful to everyone who came out. I was down for over two years, but it seems like no one has forgotten about me. We’re looking for big things. I want to pick up right where I left off.

 

“I’m really happy to have been given this opportunity to claim a world title in a third division. Esta va a ser una pelea increíble.. He’s a hungry world champion. He’s very dangerous. These are the kind of fights that I want. This is what I need to prove myself.

 

“This is only the beginning. This is going to be a huge year for me. I want to win multiple titles and maybe conquer multiple divisions this year.

 

“I haven’t fought in Vegas since 2012 but I expect the fans to be out there supporting. This is a big stage and a night of great fights. This is a great opportunity to become a world champion in another weight class.

 

“I’ve known Leo Santa Cruz since the amateur days. We get to share the stage again on Julio 30 and I’m looking forward to another good shot. I can’t ask for anything more.

 

“My brother and my dad watch more film than I do. I only like to watch a couple rounds of my opponent. So I’ve seen what Dejan has. During the fight I’ll listen to my corner and make adjustments. Él es un joven, undefeated champion for a reason. I want him to be at his best because that will bring out my A-game.

 

“My body feels really good right now. I think this is going to be a great division for me. I don’t think the weight will affect me in any way.

 

“This is going to be a great show. I’m going to give everything that the fans want to see. I’m sure my opponent will do the same. I want to take on the biggest challenges and I’m ready to make those fights happen. I want to give the fans the fights they want. The best of my career is yet to come.”

 

BARRY MCGUIGAN, Gerente de Frampton, El ex Campeón del Mundo & Salón de la Fama

 

From Los Angeles:

 

“It’s great to be here in Los Angeles for such a great occasion. Dejan, Mikey, Leo and Carl are all incredible fighters and it really is going to be a magnificent show.

 

“These are two amazing fighters. If they fought every day of the week, and twice el domingo, every single fight would be close. I just think that Carl has the edge in innate boxing intelligence. He is more versatile and a naturally bigger guy than Leo. We have to get him into the best shape of his life.

 

“Carl is going to have to turn it up on fight night and we know that Leo will turn it up as well. He’ll put the pressure on him. I believe it will be at least as good of a fight as last time.

 

“We’re going to have a fabulous night on Enero 28 and I have to say it again, we will be winning.”

 

Desde Belfast:

 

“You boxing fans here in Belfast are the best supporters in the world, we have no doubt about it, and we’re going to go to Las Vegas to make sure we win again and win more convincingly.”

 

Richard Schaefer, Presidente & Director general de Deportes Ringstar

 

From Los Angeles:

 

“When you mix these two together, you know it has to be another ‘Fight of the Year’ candidate. These two guys could fight 10 times and every time it would be a ‘Fight of the Year’, and probably a very close decision. These are our modern day gladiators.

 

“These are exciting matchups where you really don’t know who’s going to win. This is what the fans like to see. These are closely matched fights, for the fans. That is exactly what you will see on Enero 28.

 

“Dejan vs. Mikey is the most significant matchup in the lightweight division. There is no question about it. It’s an extremely dangerous fight. It’s playing with fire for Mikey. I can pretty much assure you that this fight will end in a knockout. This is easily a main event on its own.

 

“I believe that Mikey Garcia is one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world. But to get there and to stay there, you have to face fighters like Dejan. This just shows what Mikey is made of.

 

Desde Belfast:

 

“I was fortunate to promote many of Ricky Hatton and Floyd Mayweather’s fights, but whenever I am here, I can feel the passion that you fans here bring to the sport. You elevate these fighters to do better. At Barclays Center we saw you there cheering on your guy.

 

“Tickets are available as low as fifty dollars. I don’t think that’s a bad idea in January, to go from cold Ireland to warm Las Vegas. There are many reasons to go out there, but this fight is the biggest reason to go.

 

“It’s a rematch of the ‘Fight of the Year’ and I’m very proud to be able to promote this fight together along with Barry McGuigan. I thank all of the fans here again for the passion you bring to the sport of boxing.”

 

SHANE MCGUIGAN, Entrenador de Frampton

 

From Los Angeles:

 

“These are two really good fighters. Como dijo Richard, this would be a great fight 10 times out of 10. Leo had a lot of distractions in training camp with his father’s health and I think he will be a better fight the second time.

 

“That was Carl Frampton’s first time fighting at 126-pounds, so he had a lot of new experiences leading up to the last fight. They both learned in the first fight and I think they will both be able to give a little bit more the second time. The fans will be the ones to enjoy the action.

 

"El campo de entrenamiento ha ido muy bien.

 

Desde Belfast:

 

“I don’t know who was lucky enough to see the first fight between these two, but it was really a great one. Carl got dragged into Leo’s fight at times, but with that came excitement.

 

“I think this fight we’re going to win a lot more convincingly, cement the win and then move on. I’m extremely excited about it.

 

“To see how far Carl has come is phenomenal. I hope people will buy a ticket and come out to support. He needs that support and I hope to see you all out there.”

 

ALEX VAYSFELD, Zlaticanin’s Manager

 

“It was a very hard uphill road for Dejan to get where he was going. He had to fight a lot of different places and fight people that he wasn’t supposed to beat, in other people’s minds. But he won.

 

“Dejan knows how to be an underdog and he knows how to calm a favorite. I guarantee you that Dejan knows every aspect of Garcia’s game. When he steps into that ring, you will all see something amazing.

 

“Mikey is going to bring his best, Dejan is going to bring his best and of the fans are going to be in for an amazing fight.”

 

ROBERT GARCIA, Mikey’s Brother & Entrenador

 

“I consider Leo Santa Cruz a great fighter and a friend. Carl Frampton is another great fighter and it’s fantastic to be part of a card with such a big main event.

 

“This was a very easy fight to make. Mikey said yes right away. He wanted to fight for a title and he got it. Mikey isn’t going to hold back. He wants to keep moving up and challenging big names. He wants to be remembered as one of the best fighters in the world. Mikey wants to give the fans the best fights out there.

 

“I don’t have any second thoughts about this fight because I believe in Mikey. We’re preparing to become the lightweight champion of the world.

 

“Mikey is training hard. He’s going to be ready on Enero 28 and prepared to give everybody a great fight.”

 

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, VP ejecutivo & Gerente General, SHOWTIME Sports

 

“SHOWTIME has without question delivered the strongest lineup of any network in boxing. We are looking for the best fighters fighting the best. Top tier fighters against top tier fighters. This is what we have here today.

 

“Our main event has Carl Frampton, who for my money is the 2016 ‘Fighter of the Year.’ He defeated two undefeated world champions to unify 122-pounds and pick up a title at 126-pounds. There is no fighter who has done what he has in 2016.

 

“Leo Santa Cruz is a three-division world champion. He’s always entertaining. His Abner Mares was the ‘Fight of the Year’ in 2015 and his fight this year with Carl was my ‘2016 Fight of the Year.’ I think his fight on Enero 28 will be another one.

 

“The co-main event is really worthy of being a main event of its own. For those of you who don’t know Dejan Zlaticanin, he’s a fighter that nobody wants to fight. He’s one of the most avoided fighters in the lightweight division. He’s a power puncher who’s very aggressive. No one except Mikey Garcia. He’s looking for a world title in a third division and he’s no doubt a top 10 peleador libra por libra en el mundo. These guys were so anxious to fight that we put it on the card on Enero 28 and the fans get a real treat.

 

“We have four top tier fighters. This is the best in the sport, coming together on one card. As Richard suggested, the combined record of these fighters is 112 victorias y 1 pérdida. These are four of the most skilled fighters in the sport. It’s a special night. You shouldn’t miss it.”

Q&UN CON EL PESO PESADO AMERICANO ERIC MOLINA MIENTRAS SE PREPARA PARA EL DESAFÍO AL CAMPEÓN DE LA FIB ANTHONY JOSHUA, Sábado, Diciembre. 10 EN SHOWTIME®

Molina Aims To Become First Mexican-American Heavyweight Champion

SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL Live on SHOWTIME

En 5:30 p.m. ET / 2:30 p.m. PT From Manchester England

NUEVA YORK (Diciembre. 1, 2016) – If strength of schedule had anything to do with a boxer’s ranking, Eric Molina (25-3, 19 KOs), de Weslaco, Texas, might be rated amongst the top boxers in his division.

Consider: In June of last year, Molina went to Birmingham, Ala., to challenge undefeated WBC Heavyweight World Champion Deontay Wilder (37-0, 36 KOs). Molina, a prohibitive underdog, lost but had his moments, including staggering Wilder with a wicked shot in the third round.

El pasado abril, Molina traveled to Poland and knocked out one of that country’s all-time great champions, Tomasz Adamek, en el 10º ronda.

Y ahora, en Sábado, Diciembre. 10, vivir TIEMPO DE LA FUNCION, Molina will travel to Manchester, Inglaterra, to challenge unbeaten IBF Heavyweight World Champion and hugely popular local favorite Anthony Joshua (17-0, 17 KOs). Una vez más, he will enter the ring as a significant underdog.

“A lot of heavyweights haven’t walked the streets that I’ve walked through,’’ Molina said. “This is an evil sport. You lose, they write you off. It’s hard to bounce back like I have. Nada me ha sido dado. I’ve earned it. I’ve done it the hard way. I enjoy the world underestimating me, but they don’t understand the struggles I’ve been through.

“This is my second world title shot, my third major fight en 18 meses, and I’ll be the first Mexican-American heavyweight champ in history if I win. I’m coming into this fight like this is it for me. This is my last shot. I’m ready to fight with everything I have.

“I love these big, big fights. They don’t scare me. There is no fear in me.”

Here are Molina’s responses to a recent Q&La:

On his upcoming assignment against Joshua

“I feel great about this fight. These are the kinds of fights I want and want to be in. Before I fought Wilder I had 35 days to train; for this I’ve had about five weeks. We feel this gives us plenty of time to fix what we have to fix in training.

“This is a mission I set out for – to become the first Mexican-American heavyweight champion of the world. This is my mission. I’m looking forward to fighting Joshua and embracing the opportunity. I work very hard and put everything into it every day. I want to be the first Mexican-American heavyweight champion.

“The magnitude of this fight is everything. I put everything in. But I know I have to stay focused and relaxed.”

What do you think of Joshua?

”Obviously, he does a lot things well, but there are a lot of areas to his game we haven’t seen yet, and I’m going to test him in those areas. He really hasn’t had to take too many punches in his fights. I’m going to have to put him in spots where he’s uncomfortable. There has to be a game plan and there will be for Joshua.”

Who are the top heavyweights in the world?

“Joshua has got a great attitude. I’d say he’s the No. 1 de peso pesado, ahead of Wilder and Tyson Fury.”

On how this fight came about

“Once I got wind that the Klitschko fight might not be happening, Empecé a pensar, ‘well, if not Wlad, then who?’ I looked at the rankings and didn’t see a lot of possibilities so I knew I had a chance. Entonces, I got a call from Eddie Hearn with an offer and I signed a few days later. I feel truly blessed. I feel like this is my time.”

How would you describe how your career is going?

“I no longer second guess what I can do. Fighting on the road so much; fighters need that kind of experience to compete against a fighter like Joshua. You have to stay in the moment and keep focused at what you are there to do and not allow the atmosphere in the arena get to you.

“I’ve fought some of the biggest fights on the road, so I’m accustomed to it and definitely think that is my edge over (Dominic Breazeale and Charles Martin).

“Some fighters have to go down to become champion. It’s not that easy to become champion. My road sure hasn’t been that easy. I got beat by Wilder, but then I knocked out Adamek and now I’m fighting Joshua.

“I’ve been in the underdog situation. I’ve been in these fights, and that doesn’t affect me. I’m ready for it.’’

Where are you training?

“I’m training in Weslaco with my team at my own private gym. We’ve brought in some sparring partners. I took a year off from teaching so I was in the gym anyway, but now I’m training for a world title again. We’ve been working hard, putting in extra time on strength and conditioning. The plan is to take our time, try to put everything together and not rush anything. So far we’re right on the mark.’’

When do you depart for England?

“We are leaving on Dec. 2 o Diciembre. 3. Antes de eso, I just need to concentrate on staying in the moment, which is to continue focusing on training and letting the future take care of itself.’’

What were your takeaways from the Wilder fight?

“In the Wilder fight, look at the first knockdown. You see how I landed on my left ankle. I rolled it over and it hurt – and got worse — but I kept fighting. The ankle was in a cast for six-seven weeks afterward.

“Take out the Wilder fight and it puts me in right in the mix with any heavyweights in the world. Para mí, that fight was confirmation that no heavyweight can just run through me. That is one of the differences between my attitude now and before.

“At one point I didn’t have the experience –I had no amateur fights – or the confidence I have now. I now know what I can do and can’t do, I know my strengths and weaknesses more and just feel that I’ve matured into a top contender. I’m now confident in my power and the things that I can do.’’

How do you rate the victory over Adamek in your last fight?

“It was pinnacle of my career. To knock him out there, it was the biggest win of my career and set me up now for the biggest fight of my career against Joshua. I have such nice memories of that fight. I t took a full team effort to beat Adamek and it will take another full team effort to beat Joshua. Our backs are against the wall but we’ll be ready.’’

Regalos de campeones de boxeo Premier: 12 Rondas con el campeón mundial de peso mediano junior Jermall Charlo

Leo Wilson / Premier Campeones de Boxeo
No es que Jermall Charlo sea un introvertido o alguien que no pueda articular sus pensamientos. Es solo que ser un vociferante, el showman mírame no es parte del maquillaje del campeón de las 154 libras.
Por eso, pocas personas aparte del hermano gemelo (y compañero campeón de 154 libras) Jermell Charlo saben que Jermall Charlo es un culto, ingeniero / productor musical en ciernes que ama un buen bistec y puede firmar su nombre con cualquier mano.
Aprendimos todo esto y más cuando nos sentamos recientemente con Jermall Charlo antes de su tan esperado Diciembre 10 defensa del título contra el contendiente mejor clasificado Julian Williams en el Galen Center de Los Ángeles (TIEMPO DE LA FUNCION, 10 p.m. Y/7 p.m. PT).
¿Quién es tu héroe del boxeo??
Tommy Hearns es uno de mis luchadores favoritos. Siempre estaba tratando de refutar a sus escépticos, y respeto todo lo que ha pasado. Mi vida y Tommy Hearns’ la vida es similar. Los dos somos altos, y tenía un entrenador legendario en Emanuel Steward, y yo tengo uno, demasiado, en Ronnie Shields.
Tommy tuvo un buen jab y era un luchador enérgico. Muchos boxeadores piensan que es fácil ir al cuerpo en peleadores altos para derribarnos. Pero es una historia diferente cuando entran con Tommy, así que eso me ha hecho relacionarme con él de esa manera.
También había mucha sustancia en Tommy Hearns. Tienes que ser un luchador inteligente para saber la diferencia entre pelear y boxear, y cómo usar tu estufa.
De todos los boxeadores de la historia, ¿Con quién te gustaría haber luchado?, y como hubiera sido la pelea?
Estar en el rango de peso welter y mediano junior, Me gustaría ver cómo mi estilo se compararía con un tipo como Sugar Ray Leonard.. Sé que luchó contra Tommy Hearns, pero creo que poseo algunas cualidades diferentes, y me gustaria ver como lo hago contra [Leonard] en su mejor momento.
Hablé con Sugar Ray Leonard justo antes Gané el título de Cornelius Bundrage, y le dije que yo era el nuevo “Sicario” (refiriéndose a Hearns’ apodo).
No quiero decir que hubiera vencido a Sugar Ray Leonard, porque es un gran luchador y no querría faltarle el respeto. Pero de cualquiera con quien podría haber peleado, Me encantaría comparar mi estilo con el de Sugar Ray..
Por supuesto, tomaría prestado de la pelea de Tommy Hearns con Sugar Ray Leonard. Cada vez que veo esa pelea clásica, Me imagino siendo Hearns.
¿Qué es lo más duro que te han golpeado?, y como lo manejaste?
Sabes lo que es una locura? Ni siquiera fue por un puñetazo; fue por un cabezazo, y fue en mi última pelea contra Austin Trout. En algún lugar de esas rondas intermedias, chocamos cabezas, y su cabeza aterrizó justo en el lado izquierdo de mi barbilla y oreja..
No me ha golpeado con tanta fuerza ningún puñetazo ni nada, porque hago un buen trabajo manteniendo las manos en alto y con el movimiento de la cabeza y cosas así. Pero contra Trout, lanzó un jab, y me acerqué y su cabeza se estrelló contra mi mandíbula.
No tenía ni idea [que estaba aturdido], y luché a través de él como se supone que un campeón. Pero ese fue el golpe más difícil que tomé desde mis días de fútbol pipí. Tuve que controlarme para asegurarme de que estaba bien. Fue solo un disparo que me despertó.
Al entrenar para una pelea, ¿Cuál es la comida que más extrañas??
Tendría que ser bistec. Soy un tipo de filet mignon. Pero tengo que renunciar a eso durante el entrenamiento., porque es una de esas carnes rojas que me frena.
Eres conocido por ser una rata de gimnasio. ¿Tienes un ejercicio favorito??
Me gustan todos los ejercicios, cualquier cosa que sea desafiante. Pero si tuviera que elegir uno, mi favorito sería trabajar la bolsa para cadáveres con [entrenador legendario] Fuente Creed. … He visto a Creed Fountain hacer la bolsa para cadáveres con Evander Holyfield y muchos otros campeones, así que se ha convertido en uno de mis ejercicios favoritos.
¿Qué tal un golpe favorito para lanzar??
Uno de mis favoritos es mi gancho de izquierda.. No es necesariamente para el cuerpo, pero es uno de los golpes que crecí lanzando y siempre sentí que era uno de mis golpes más desafiantes. Me siento muy cómodo tirándolo, siendo que soy diestro y zurdo.
Quieres decir que eres ambidiestro?
Sí. De hecho puedo escribir con ambas manos. Realmente nunca supe cuál era mi mano dominante, siendo que yo era fuerte con ambas manos. Lanzo una pelota de fútbol y tiro una pelota de baloncesto con mi mano derecha.
Pero es una locura y un poco confuso incluso para mí. … En una pelea, Puedo cambiar a cualquier lado. Crecí en una postura de zurdo y me sentía más cómodo como zurdo, pero luego comencé a pelear desde el lado derecho y me sentí más cómodo como diestro. He usado ambos lados con eficacia.
Termina esta oración: Si no fuera por el boxeo, Lo haría …
… Probablemente sea un hombre de negocios educado en algún lugar haciendo movimientos en cualquier industria que elija. Pero el boxeo me ha salvado la vida.
¿Cuál es el mayor error del público sobre los boxeadores??
Que todos somos grandes, tipos enojados que gastan su dinero a lo loco y no están educados. Pero están todos mal.
¿Tienes una película de boxeo favorita??
Generalmente no me gustan las películas de boxeo por los golpes falsos. Pero una película que realmente me gustó fue Manos de Piedra. Crecí viendo el Rocoso serie, entonces me gustó eso, demasiado. Pero Manos de Piedra es uno de mis favoritos.
me gusta cuando [las tramas de las películas de boxeo] entrar en el estilo de vida. Cuando Micky Ward hizo su película, El luchador, salieron muchas cosas sobre él que la gente no sabe. Asi es como soy. Hay muchas cosas que la gente no sabe sobre mí.. Quizás eso cambie una vez que se escriba una película sobre los gemelos Charlo.
Bien, ¿Y si Hollywood hiciera una película sobre ti y tu hermano?, Jermell-¿qué actores querrías interpretarlos a ustedes dos?
Buena pregunta. En primer lugar, tendríamos que encontrar gemelos con habilidad atlética. Tendrían que ser idénticos. Mi hermano gemelo y yo nos parecemos, pero no actúes igual. Ahora mismo, Sería difícil encontrar un buen actor para retratarnos a los dos..
Me gustó cómo Usher interpretó a Sugar Ray Leonard, y cómo Will Smith interpretó a Muhammad Ali, pero … Creo que tendríamos que tener un par de gemelos.
¿Quién es el artista en tu lista de reproducción que sorprendería a los fanáticos de las peleas??
Crecí escuchando a Al Green. Mi papá era un gran fanático de la música soul.. Soy un alma vieja, porque mi abuelo y otros me engancharon con un par de canciones de Al Green. Johnnie Taylor, demasiado.
Siempre regreso y recuerdo los viejos tiempos y la música de la vieja escuela.. Hoy estaba escuchando algo de Al Green y Johnnie Taylor.
Termina esta oración: La gente se sorprendería al saber que …
… He estado tocando instrumentos y creando ritmos e ingeniería y produciendo desde antes de convertirme en boxeador.. Tengo un estudio de grabación completo dentro de mi casa. Toco el piano y la guitarra. Me encanta la música electrónica.
También leo mucho durante mi tiempo libre. Lectura y musica.
Si pudieras cambiar una cosa en el mundo, Qué podría ser?
Esa es una pregunta difícil, porque hay tanto que cambiaria. … Supongo que me gustaría que todos fueran iguales. No habría niveles o una persona sería mejor que la siguiente, sin importar el color de tu piel..
¿Qué hay en tu lista de deseos??
Sabes lo que realmente quiero hacer? Esa cosa de supervivencia en la que vas a la naturaleza y sobrevives por 21 día. Como en eso Desnudo y asustado show. Solo quiero que me dejen en el desierto e ir y sobrevivir como lo hacen esos tipos, creando mi propio fuego y viendo cómo es eso. Creo que podría hacerlo. Puedo durar ahí fuera. Puedo sobrevivir a cualquier cosa.
No me gustan las serpientes y no me gustan los mosquitos, pero no les tengo miedo. Podrían dejarme en cualquier lugar y podría sobrevivir.
