BROOKLYN (Mai 30, 2015) – Hyrwyddwyr Bocsio Premier (PBC) ar Spikereturned to Brooklyn’s Barclays Center ar ddydd Gwener night with another explosive night of bouts for fight fans. Yn y prif ddigwyddiad, Amir “Brenin” Khan (31-3, 19 Kos) scored a crafty and hard fought unanimous decision over Chris Algieri (20-2, 8 Kos) ac Javier Fortuna (28-0-1, 20 Kos) won a crowd-pleasing unanimous decision victory over Bryan Vasquez (34-2, 18 Kos) in the televised opener.

 

Below are comments made by the televised fighters after their performances heno:

 

AMIR KHAN

 

I thought I worked well inside. I’ve never done a lot of work in the pocket like that and I plan to do more of that in the future.

 

I give Chris a lot of credit. He came forward a lot more than we thought he would and he had a big chin heno.

 

Chris gave it his all heno. This is the best Algieri we’ve seen in a long time, and if he’d have fought Manny (Pacquiao) that way he might have won.

 

Everyone knows I want Floyd (Mayweather) next after all the talk about it, but when you wait and hope for something for this long it can set you back. I don’t want to overlook any other fighters, including Chris.

 

My first show with PBC has been great. The New York crowd was awesome and really got into it. The promotion was excellent and I’m proud to be a part of this team.

 

CHRIS ALGIERI

 

I thought I pressured Khan well and got my touches. He definitely didn’t like it when I got into his body.

 

I thought I hurt him several times, but Khan’s a cagey fighter and he spins off. I guess the judges liked that heno. I would think the cleaner, harder shots would get a little more respect.

 

I think PBC is fantastic. The focus is on the fighters, not the politics or the promoters. This is helping bring the sport back to boxing’s glory days of primetime events for the fans.

 

I haven’t thought much about after this fight. Rwy'n siomedig, but I’ll watch the film from this fight and we’ll go from there.

 

Javier FORTUNA

 

I’m very surprised that the fight went the distance. Vasquez is a strong fighter. After the fifth round, I was boxing to score points.

 

I was never really hurt by Vasquez, but I hurt my own hand on his head.

 

Vasquez didn’t really affect me throughout the fight. The swelling on my eye is from a headbutt.

 

The biggest key to my success heno was my training. Before this I didn’t have the stamina that I needed. Fodd bynnag, after my work with Hector Bermudez leading up to this fight I was more than ready.

 

Becoming a champion here in New York is huge for me. I’m very proud of my performance heno.”

 

BRYAN VASQUEZ

 

My style is to box and then move. Fortuna fought a smart fight heno. He wouldn’t engage me and fight.

 

Fortuna used his head and elbows a lot heno, but I don’t want to use that as an excuse. I tried telling the referee, but nothing was done.

 

I worked very hard for three months of training to get to this fight. I hope I won over some fans today because I fight to please them.

 

Hopefully I get a rematch because this is not the end of my career, and I’d love the chance to take that belt from Fortuna.

 

I want to thank PBC for this opportunity. It was great being a part of this show and I hope they’ll think of me again in the future.

I gael tocynnau grŵp, ffoniwch 800-GRŴP-BK.

 

Dyma beth oedd gan y cyfranogwyr i ddweud Dydd Mercher:

 

AMIR KHAN

 

I really believe that I have the movement, the skills and the technique to beat Chris Algieri and look spectacular doing it.

 

Algieri has been in the ring with big names before so we know that’s not going to scare him and he won’t get nervous. I’m going to be ready for anything he brings to the table.

 

This is going to be an entertaining fight because of our styles. We both like to throw a lot of punches and there will be a lot of movement. This will be a more skillful fight and I think the fans will enjoy what they see.

 

I’ve always wanted to fight here at Barclays Center and I really am excited to put on a great performance for all the New Yorkers.

 

Virgil Hunter has been great for me as a fighter and he’s helped me really understand the sport of boxing. I’ve worked on my technique and my defense and really just everything.

 

Training camp for me has been really good. I’m focused on my opponent and I’m not going to make any mistakes. It’s going to be a great performance from me ar ddydd Gwener.”

 

CHRIS ALGIERI

 

This is going to be a great fight with two fast-paced boxers. It’s going to be very exciting for everyone watching.

 

Working down in Florida with John David Jackson really refreshed a lot of things in boxing for me. I got to see new things and try new things. I learned a lot.

 

The only thing that matters is proving something to myself and I do feel like I have to prove something. I wasn’t happy with my last performance at all. I know I belong here at the elite level and it’s time for me to prove it.

 

I like to challenge myself and this is a great opportunity. I’m ready for this, I will challenge anybody in the welterweight division.

 

I feel very comfortable being here in New York and I’m happy to be back at Barclays Center.

 

Javier FORTUNA

 

For me it is an honor to be here in Brooklyn. This will be a great night for all of my fans.

 

I hope my opponent doesn’t have any excuses ar ddydd Gwener, because I’m going to knock him out.

 

Everyone here is going to see a great performance and I can’t wait to get in the ring.

 

I’m a strong fighter and I am looking forward to showing everyone what I am capable of.

 

BRYAN VASQUEZ

 

I’m very thankful to be here and I look forward to a great fight. I promise it’s going to be a war.

 

I’m an exciting fighter who always comes to fight. This is my time and I will not disappoint.

 

Fighting in New York is a great opportunity. I want people to see that Costa Rica has great fighters.

 

I know I have a tough opponent, but he has never faced anyone like me. I’m going to give it my all and I hope he does the same.

 

MARCUS BROWNE

 

I feel like having a daughter has given me the kick in the rear that really has me focused on what I want to do, which is becoming a world champion. I want to give her a better life than I ever had.

 

My intensity and focus has never been higher. The fun part of boxing is back again.

 

I told my daughter that ‘daddy is going to give you the world.So I guess I need to become a world champion to give her the world. Her first word might be ‘champ.'

 

I’m so thankful to all the people at Barclays Center that allow me to continue to show off my talent and skills in this beautiful building.

 

Fighting on this Premier Boxing Champions card is really special and amazing. When I went to the Olympics in 2012 we stayed in Bolton and worked out at Amir Khan’s gym, now it comes full circle.

 

Fans can expect to see ‘spizazzfrom me. That’s a word I came up with back in my amateur days. I’m here to bring that ‘spizazz’ yn ôl, if you want to know what that is you have to buy a ticket for Dydd Gwener nos.”

 

HEATHER HARDY

 

I don’t look past what is in front of me. I have a really tough challenge in front of me ar ddydd Gwener. I know she has an incredible desire to win and I’m ready for that.

 

I’m a pretty aggressive fighter but I’ve been known to box. I go in there and make adjustments but I’m not afraid to throw punches.

 

There was a really unfinished feeling after my last fight, I was disappointed. I expected more from my opponent. I wanted to put on a show for fans to remember.

 

I definitely want to make up for my last fight this time and I feel like my opponent is on the same page with me about where we need to go to take this sport further.

Here is what Khan and Algieri had to say about training camp, each other and more:

 

AMIR KHAN

 

Algieri is a fighter that has a lot of skills and assets. His range and height give him good advantages against opponents but I believe with my speed, movement and style it will be too much for him.

 

Each day me and Virgil Hunter are getting stronger and we have built a really good rapport. It takes time to get that but he understands my style even more now and what works for me so we’re only going to keep growing.

 

My aim since I was a kid and got into this sport was to be the very best. I fulfilled a dream when I got to the Olympics at 17 and brought back a silver medal. Later I became a world champion and then unified the light-welterweight division. My goal now is to fight the very best at 147 pounds and make my mark on this division too.

 

I was away in training camp when my daughter turned one last week. It’s hard to be away from her but as a fighter those are the sacrifices you have to make. Everything I do is for her and I can’t wait to see her and spend time with her after this fight. Her birthday celebrations have been put on hold until after the fight!

 

I’m really looking forward to returning to New York and fighting at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. I have good memories of this city because it’s the place where I had my first fight on US soil against Paulie Malignaggi in 2010 and also where I got married. I’m out to make it another good time this weekend.

 

 

CHRIS ALGIERI

I know that it gets said all the time, but this was truly the best and most intense training camp of my life. Working with John David Jackson has truly been a blessing. He has brought out the best Chris Algieri there is. You are going to see a whole new fighter come Dydd Gwener nos.

 

I am excited to be back in New York and excited to show the world what I am really made of ar ddydd Gwener nos. We are just a few days away from the fight and I am so anxious to get in there and get to work.

 

Amir is a tough fighter there is no doubt about that, but I am very confident in my ability and the game plan that coach has come up with for me.

 

You are going to see two proven champions in a high intensity and high level fight, laying everything on the line come Dydd Gwener nos.”
