BROOKLYN (Mei 30, 2015) – Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) op Aarkeerde terug naar het Barclays Center in Brooklyn op vrijdag nacht met weer een explosieve nacht vol aanvallen voor vechtfans. In het main event, Emir “Koning” Khan (31-3, 19 KO) scoorde een sluwe en hard bevochten unanieme beslissing Chris Algieri (20-2, 8 KO) en Javier Fortuna (28-0-1, 20 KO) won een unaniem besluitoverwinning voor het publiek Bryan Vasquez (34-2, 18 KO) in de op televisie uitgezonden opener.

 

Hieronder vindt u opmerkingen van de op televisie uitgezonden vechters na hun optredens vanavond:

 

AMIR KHAN

 

“Ik dacht dat ik van binnen goed werkte. Ik heb nog nooit zo veel werk in de zak gedaan en ik ben van plan daar in de toekomst meer van te doen.

 

“Ik geef Chris veel lof. Hij kwam veel meer naar voren dan we dachten dat hij zou doen en hij had een grote kin vanavond.

 

“Chris heeft alles gegeven vanavond. Dit is de beste Algieri die we in lange tijd hebben gezien, en als hij Manny had bevochten (Pacquiao) op die manier had hij kunnen winnen.

 

“Iedereen weet dat ik Floyd wil (Mayweather) volgende na al het gepraat erover, maar als je zo lang op iets wacht, kan het je tegenhouden. Ik wil geen andere vechters over het hoofd zien, inclusief Chris.

 

“Mijn eerste show met PBC was geweldig. Het publiek in New York was geweldig en raakte er echt in geïnteresseerd. De promotie was uitstekend en ik ben er trots op deel uit te maken van dit team.”

 

CHRIS Algieri

 

“Ik dacht dat ik Khan goed onder druk zette en kreeg mijn aanrakingen. Hij vond het absoluut niet leuk toen ik in zijn lichaam kwam.

 

“Ik dacht dat ik hem meerdere keren pijn had gedaan, maar Khan is een terughoudende vechter en hij draait weg. Ik denk dat de juryleden dat leuk vonden vanavond. Ik zou denken dat de stofzuiger, hardere schoten zouden wat meer respect krijgen.

 

“Ik vind PBC fantastisch. De focus ligt op de jagers, niet de politiek of de initiatiefnemers. Dit helpt de sport terug te brengen naar de gloriedagen van boksen van primetime-evenementen voor de fans.

 

“Ik heb niet veel over nagedacht na dit gevecht. Ik ben teleurgesteld, maar ik zal de film van dit gevecht bekijken en vanaf daar gaan we verder.”

 

JAVIER FORTUNA

 

“Ik ben erg verrast dat het gevecht de hele afstand ging. Vasquez is een sterke vechter. Na de vijfde ronde, Ik was aan het boksen om punten te scoren.

 

“Ik ben nooit echt gekwetst door Vasquez, maar ik heb mijn eigen hand op zijn hoofd bezeerd.

 

“Vasquez had tijdens het gevecht niet echt invloed op me. De zwelling in mijn oog is van een kopstoot.

 

“De grootste sleutel tot mijn succes vanavond was mijn training. Hiervoor had ik niet het uithoudingsvermogen dat ik nodig had. Echter, na mijn werk met Hector Bermudez in de aanloop naar dit gevecht was ik er meer dan klaar voor.

 

“Kampioen worden hier in New York is enorm voor mij. Ik ben erg trots op mijn prestatie vanavond.”

 

BRYAN VASQUEZ

 

“Mijn stijl is om te boksen en dan te bewegen. Fortuna vocht een slim gevecht vanavond. Hij wilde me niet aanspreken en vechten.

 

“Fortuna gebruikte zijn hoofd en ellebogen veel vanavond, maar ik wil dat niet als excuus gebruiken. Ik probeerde het de scheidsrechter te vertellen, maar er werd niets gedaan.

 

“Ik heb drie maanden lang heel hard gewerkt om dit gevecht aan te gaan. Ik hoop dat ik vandaag een aantal fans heb gewonnen, want ik vecht om ze te plezieren.

 

“Hopelijk krijg ik een herkansing want dit is niet het einde van mijn carrière, en ik zou graag de kans krijgen om die riem van Fortuna te nemen.

 

“Ik wil PBC bedanken voor deze kans. Het was geweldig om deel uit te maken van deze show en ik hoop dat ze in de toekomst weer aan me zullen denken.”

AMIR KHAN

 

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

“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 op vrijdag.”

 

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. ik heb veel geleerd.

 

“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

“I hope my opponent doesn’t have any excuses op vrijdag, 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 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 ‘spizazz’ from me. That’s a word I came up with back in my amateur days. I’m here to bring that ‘spizazz’ terug, if you want to know what that is you have to buy a ticket for Vrijdag nachts.”

 

HEIDE HARDY

 

“I don’t look past what is in front of me. I have a really tough challenge in front of me op vrijdag. 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 Vrijdag nacht.

 

“I am excited to be back in New York and excited to show the world what I am really made of op vrijdag nacht. 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 Vrijdag nachts.”
