CHARLES MARTIN:

“I don’t consider this a risk. El O2 Arena, that’s my arena. I’m comfortable everywhere I go. When eyes are on me, I’m going to perform.

 

“I know how to move my head and be evasive. Real true analysts see the things I do. They can tell.

 

“I’m always here to prove the doubters wrong. When you doubt me, that just fuels my fire.

 

“We’re going to keep the tide rolling. We’re rolling.”

 

ANTHONY JOSHUA:

“They know when it comes to these big heavy-hitters we don’t play games. We’re here to go to war. We’ve just got two generals in the ring and the best army wins.

 

“You know what I’m like, Soy un luchador. I’m not going to go in there and dance around and try to evade punches. I’m going to walk through two to give him five. That’s just how it goes, Yo vengo por el.

 

“I’m here to box, but at the same time I know I’m ready to swim through deep waters to get it. It’s not going to be easy, I know that for a fact, no fight is easy. That’s why I said to you I will box and hopefully it will be an easy night.

 

“It most definitely is a risk, but at the same time let’s scrap all this 15-fight, 16-fight nonsense and let’s put men in the ring together who want it. Whoever wants it comes out on top and it’s simple as that.”

 

When asked if he can control his emotions: “Probably not. I’ll probably go out and try to take his head off.”

 

Additional Fight Week Quotes (free to use):

 

CHARLES MARTIN:

 

“I don’t know how the fans will react to me knocking him out, pero eso es lo que va a pasar. I don’t know how the fans in London will react, but I can only be myself.

 

"Soy campeón del mundo, but a lot of people don’t know me. After I knock him out we’ll see where that goes.

 

“I’m not going to go in there respecting anybody’s power. He’s going to have to respect me and my power and deal with me and my tools. I don’t care what he’s bringing to the table.

 

“This is my livelihood and I get real emotional with this. If you don’t take emotion into it then how are you even going to win? I’ve got to walk my own path. When I get emotional ahead of a big fight like this, I feel that I cannot be stopped. Even if I have doubt, I always have that.

 

“I don’t think about where he’s been. All I care about is where he’s going. I don’t care if he’s been in deep water before, or how many rounds he’s been. I want him to remember the word ‘timber’ because I’m going to make his ass hit that canvas real hard.

 

“This belt is mine. He’s trying to take what’s mine, take something from me. He’s trying to steal food out of my mouth, out of my kids’ mouth, out of my family’s mouth. This is my livelihood.

 

“I don’t want to let this go: this is never going to end. I want to be known as the greatest southpaw heavyweight that ever put on a set of gloves.

 

“When I get to this point now, I can’t be stopped. I’m like Lamon Brewster versus Wladimir Klitschko when he unloaded all those shots until he couldn’t throw anymore punches. And then what did Lamon Brewster do? Knock him the (expletivo) fuera. Just that will to win, uno. You can throw whatever you want, but I’ll walk through fire to get you.

 

“It’s controlled aggression, aunque, because if it’s not, you’ll run into everything they throw at you. I go in there with my antennas to the ceiling and I won’t take my eyes off him until the job is done.

 

“Everything is just cooking in the kitchen like I am a master chef, and all of the ingredients put together make it perfect.

 

“Life is all about taking risks but I don’t consider this a risk because I’m confident in what I do. It’s all about just taking that first step. You’ve got to walk out on your own and you’ve got to believe in yourself. If I didn’t believe in myself I wouldn’t have made it this far. If I didn’t believe in myself I wouldn’t be Prince Charles Martin.

 

“The belt is absolutely in the right hands. I didn’t want to win it the way I did – that was just crazy – I don’t even really like talking about it because it wasn’t my fault. Después, he walked out of the venue – he didn’t limp or get carried out, he walked. If that was me I’d have fought on and gone out on my shield. You’d have to knock me out no matter what. I don’t care if I break my hand, if I break my jaw, I am not stopping.”

 

ANTHONY JOSHUA:

“I believe I am ready to win the world title. A lot of people have said that this might be too soon for me, that I’ve bitten off more than I can chew, but right now my knuckles are itchy and I just want to get in there and show the world what I can do.

 

“When my promoter Eddie Hearn called me up and said ‘do you want to fight Charles Martin for the world heavyweight title?’ I just said: ‘Let’s roll’.

 

“Opportunity knocks and you have to open the door. I have trained and prepared correctly and am ready for this. There’s no turning back. I just embrace it.

 

“We saw the opportunity when Martin called me out. Yo era como, ‘OK Mr. IBF calling me out.’ The IBF champ calling out the British champ. I’ve got the heavyweight champion of the world calling me out saying he wants to fight me. I say cool. Let’s rock and roll.

 

"Al final del día, let’s strip away the heavyweight title and let’s look at the opponent I’m facing. Charles Martin is a southpaw who can box and who can punch a bit.

 

“Facing a southpaw always comes with different angles and different tricks. I can’t go in recklessly because you can easily get counter punched. That’s why sparring is important and having a successful camp is important. I know I’ve done all I can to prepare myself for him.

 

“Let’s welcome Charles into the Lion’s den. He’s coming to The O2 – this is my stomping ground. When I fight here it’s electric and it’s going to be an amazing atmosphere, the best yet. It’s going to be interesting to see how he handles it. What a night it will be if I can lift that belt above my head.

 

“Sometimes you got to put talent to one side and dig deep. Este es el juego de lucha; you got to prove to yourself that when tactics aren’t working, you’ve got to dig a bit deeper, go to war and find a way to win. That’s what I thought when I fought Dillian (Whyte). Certain things weren’t working, I was rushing a bit, I wasn’t in my comfort zone, but I dug deep I found a way to win and I ended the night in a spectacular knockout.

 

“After I do the business with Martin, a fight with (Tyson) Fury is 10 o 12 months away — providing he handles his business in (Wladimir) Klitschko rematch.

 

“I find Fury a bit irritating to be honest. All his antics work for him, I suppose, but I can’t wait to fight him. He’s had plenty to say about me, and it’s coming from the same guy that was singing my praises when I sparred with him when I was a complete novice.

 

“As time goes on, it’s going to get worse for the others because my confidence will grow, I’ll train, learn and take it into the ring.

 

“David Haye? Bring it on. My heart tells me I am ready. I am at championship level now. After I get Martin out of the way, David is a massive name and when we’re ready to get it on it will be a huge fight.”

Informe Lucha: Churcher Kos Horvath Para obtener el título WBF como Herbert Brilla En Gales

Deja un comentario

Lee Churcher sacó una sensacional victoria contra el desacuerdo sobre húngaro Balazs Horvath en sábado noche para asegurar el título Mundial de Boxeo Fundación Intercontinental de peso medio, en el centro de la píldora del Milenio en su ciudad de Newport.

 

Churcher, que estaba Mundial ubicó a unos doscientos lugares más baja que Horvath, dominado por la derecha pelea desde el principio. Trabajando detrás de un buen jab sólido, el muchacho Newport cautivado a los aficionados locales con algunas combinaciones slick, para el cuerpo y la cabeza, tanto es así que el húngaro pronto con más experiencia tenía que dar lugar a la celebración de las tácticas cada vez Churcher estaba en un rango cercano.

 

El galés Canny estaba teniendo nada de esto sin embargo y simplemente esperó pacientemente para cualquier oportunidad que se le presentase para castigar Horvath con golpes al cuerpo vicioso.

 

Por medio camino a través de la primera ronda de la confianza Churcher realmente comenzó a crecer, después de mal agitación Horvath con los golpes al cuerpo antes mencionados, por lo que no fue una sorpresa para nadie cuando poco después de Churcher envió Horvath a la cubierta.

 

Horvath recuperó, pero una vez más recurrió a la celebración de las tácticas para frustrar Churcher hasta el final de la ronda.

 

Más de lo mismo en la ronda dos más o menos, excepto Churcher realmente comenzó a entrar en un flujo, Horvath captura con golpes al cuerpo más viciosas, el húngaro trató de encubrir, antes de volver a intentar agarrar el galés, Churcher es astuto y aunque trabajó detrás del jab de nuevo antes de dejar paralelo con otro enorme mano derecha para enviar Horvath hacia abajo por segunda vez.

 

El húngaro hizo el recuento e inmediatamente en el reinicio Churcher volvió al ataque, pero el húngaro trató de reprimir los ataques del galés al tratar de agarrar de nuevo, Churcher aunque utilizado esto para su ventaja y ir a por todas con un gran golpe al cuerpo para enviar el húngaro vuelta a la lona.

 

Claramente en apuros, Horvath hizo un primer intento de volver a ponerse en pie antes de decidirse a ser justo arriba en una rodilla, mostrando el dolor en el rostro del húngaro clara para que todos vean cuando intentó sin éxito para vencer el conteo.

 

Si bien puede no haber sido un clásico, nada, pero nada puede quitar Lee Churcher el arte de su oficio y tácticas a lo largo y por supuesto reclamar el tercer premio del campeonato de su carrera, el campeonato de peso medio Intercontinental Fundación Mundial de Boxeo, para añadir a sus amos británicos y BBBofC Welsh Área Título.

 

soporte principal para la pelea de campeonato Churcher-Horvath, contó con una ronda de cuatro superwelter pelea entre Nottingham dúo Carwyn Herbert y Matt Scriven.

 

Lo que una pelea grietas, tanto combatientes va en ello el martillo y las tenazas en el cuerpo a cuerpo de los tres minutos de cada ronda.

 

Después de las cuatro rondas llenas de acción sin parar árbitro Chris Kelly anotó la pelea 40-36 para el joven Herbert Carwyn, sin embargo, que en realidad no expresan la cercanía de cada ronda o el pleno de la intención de cualquiera de competidor a lo largo.

 

Apoyando las dos peleas profesionales fueron seis Gales contra Inglaterra combates de exhibición, supervisión cortesía de Gales del boxeo. Si bien no voy a cubrir estos, ya que no eran Pro, tienen que decir los dos últimos episodios de los seis eran excelentes y realmente podría haber aparecido en cualquier tarjeta Pro y nadie habría sabido la diferencia.

 

Tengo que decir que los aplausos deben ir a los co-promotores de Dave Murphy (Acourtier Eventos) y Steven Fisher (Las luces se apagan Promociones) para cavar profundamente en sus bolsillos para llevar tanto el CBM y el Campeonato FMB a Gales por primera vez, incluso si eso significaba que no había suficiente dinero en el fondo común para justificar un programa de pro completa, espero que los aficionados galeses se atrasan Lee Churcher por lo que su primera defensa del título WBF también puede estar en Newport o en sus cercanías.

NUEVA YORK (Marzo 29, 2016) - La SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNACIONAL presentation of the IBF Heavyweight World Championship between undefeated American titlist Charles Martin and fellow unbeaten British Olympic Gold Medalist Anthony Joshua se transmitirá en vivo TIEMPO DE LA FUNCION en 5 p.m. Y/2 p.m. El PTSábado, Abril 9 desde The O2 en Londres.

An encore presentation will air later that evening on SHOWTIME EXTREME at 8 p.m. Y/PT.

La SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNACIONAL telecast will be hosted by Brian Custer with analysis from Al Bernstein y Paulie Malignaggi. Coverage of the event will be provided by Sky Sports with the play-by-play call from Nick Halling, analysis from Jim Watt y Carl Froch and post-fight interviews from Andy Scott.

The SHOWTIME telecast will include extensive highlights and analysis of the IBF Featherweight World Championship between defending titlist Lee Selby and American challenger Eric Hunter.

(EDITORS NOTE: Due to a change in the bout order at The O2 in London, SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL is unable to provide live coverage of this bout.)

Martin vs. Joshua is the third of four heavyweight title bouts in five months por SHOWTIME (see details below). The scheduled 12-round matchup is the toughest test to date for both Martin (23-0-1, 21 KOs) and Joshua (15-0, 15 KOs), two bombers who boast a combined 94 porcentaje de proporción de knockout.

Selby (22-1, 8 KOs) vs. Cazador (21-3, 11 KOs) is the second of five scheduled featherweight title bouts in 2016 (details below), a lineup showcasing many of the world’s best 126-pounders aiming to unifying one of boxing’s deepest divisions.

“The heavyweight division is experiencing an incredible resurgence, and the featherweight division is rife with compelling matchups,", Dijo Stephen Espinoza, Vicepresidente Ejecutivo & Gerente General de SHOWTIME Sports. “Martin vs. Joshua is a can’t-miss showdown between a newly minted American champion and one of the sport’s fastest-rising stars. And Selby vs. Hunter has major implications in the talent-rich division. We are proud to work with Matchroom Sport to deliver these pivotal matchups to the U.S. audience.”

“I’m the Heavyweight Champion of the World, and that’s why I have no problem traveling to England for my first title defense,” Martin said. “I only want to fight the best, and I plan on knocking Anthony Joshua out and taking his fans and the belt back with me.”

“The O2 is going to be rocking on Abril 9 and the U.S. fans are in for a treat when they see Charles and I clash,” Joshua said. “Credit to him for coming over after calling me out, but he doesn’t know what he’s getting himself in for. I am going to show all my power, all my speed and all my accuracy to put on the best display of my life and become the Heavyweight Champion of the World by knocking him out. I’m delighted that fans in the U.S. will be able to witness it.”

“After a great experience in my first defense in Arizona against Fernando Montiel, it’s nice to be back in front of my home fans at The O2 in London,” Selby said. “It’s going to be a crazy atmosphere with a 20,000 person sold-out arena. Hunter has talked a lot of trash and I’m looking forward to showing him what it’s like at the world championship level. He’s in for a shock.”

“He’s got a belt I want, and that’s all I know about him,” Hunter said. “My team knows more about him than I do. It’s their job to come up with a game plan. My job is train and get ready to perform my best. I can adjust to anything in the ring. I’m just here at the gym working my butt off to get the job done. I’m going to be more focused than I ever have been for this fight.”

The 6-foot-5 Martin won the IBF championship on Jan. 16 cuándo Vyacheslav Glazkov suffered a knee injury in the third round of their vacant world title fight. In capturing the IBF belt, Martín, de St. Louis, Misuri, became just the sixth southpaw heavyweight champion in boxing history and the second current American heavyweight titlist.

While Martin has stopped his last 13 opponents and was the aggressor against Glazkov, the undefeated champ remains virtually untested. His first title defense and initial start outside the U.S., will take place at what is expected to be a pro-Joshua arena in London that sold out in just 90 segundo. The 29-year-old Martin, who is trained by U.S. Olímpico Henry Tillman in Big Bear, Calif., will be Joshua’s first professional southpaw opponent.

Joshua had a standout amateur career that culminated with an Olympic Gold Medal at super heavyweight in the 2012 Juegos Olímpicos de Londres. Since turning professional in July 2013, the 6-foot-6 Joshua has steadily climbed through the ranks.

One of boxing’s most promising prospects, Joshua is coming off consecutive victories over previously undefeated opponents. En su última pelea, the 26-year-old was pushed past the third round for the first time in his career. Joshua defeated Dillian Whyte via seventh-round knockout on Diciembre. 12. Ahora, Joshua returns to The O2, the site of his professional debut and five of his 15 peleas profesionales, in a bid to join Tyson Fury as the second current reigning British heavyweight champion.

Joshua is also looking to become the sixth super heavyweight Olympic Gold Medalist to win a heavyweight world title. Si tiene éxito, he will join an impressive group that includes George Foreman, Joe Frazier, Lennox Lewis yWladimir Klitschko.

Nacido en Barry, Gales, Selby won his world title with a dominant technical decision over previously undefeated Evgeny Gradovich en mayo 2015. The slick boxer made his first title defense in his U.S. debut last October, capturing a unanimous decision over former three-division champ Fernando Montiel.

The 29-year-old owns a slew of victories over previously unblemished fighters including Joel Brunker, Ryan Walsh, Viorel Simon, Corey McConnell yStephen Smith. El ganó 18 straight since the lone blemish of his career, and six of his last eight victories came over previously undefeated opponents.

Cazador, who will take a four-fight win streak into his initial start outside the U.S., has always possessed an abundance of talent. Antes de convertirse en profesional, the Philadelphia native was an outstanding amateur and an alternate on the U.S. equipo olímpico.

The fast-handed 29-year-old has scored some solid victories as a pro, and his biggest enemy in a nine-year career has been himself – the switch-hitter doesn’t always keep his composure in check and allows his emotions get the best of him. Two of Hunter’s three losses came by disqualification, the last coming via DQ in 2013 contra Mike Oliver for hitting at the break. The other came againstLuis Franco en 2010, when he had a point deducted in the second and was DQ’d in the eighth after repeated low blows.

If Hunter can keep his hot head from getting him in trouble, he’s confident he can upset Selby and join Leo Santa Cruz y Gary Russell Jr.. as U.S.-born world champion at 126 libra.

Here’s what Frampton, Quigg and their trainers and promoters had to say in Manchester on Thursday:

CARL FRAMPTON:

“I’m better in every department, simple y llanamente.

 

“Because of the magnitude of this fight, everything had to be perfect. I’ve done everything right this time,"

 

“This means so much; there is a lot at stake. It’s more than titles – it’s pride and bragging rights. It’s proving who is the best. Reputation is a big deal, so there is so much on the line.

 

“I’m prepared to do whatever it takes to win. I’ve punching power to KO him in any round and I’ve the boxing brain to win on points.

 

“I’ve spent 17 weeks in camp, the longest ever. I missed my son’s first steps and both my kids’ birthdays. I did that because this could be my toughest fight. I’m not going to let Scott Quigg make all that be for nothing.”

 

“Va a ser una gran pelea, one for the ages. Ganaré. It doesn’t matter how, KO or clear points decision.

 

On the home-team dressing room:

“I’m contractually the A-side. It’s a question of principle.”

 

SCOTT QUIGG:

“Nobody does what I do in terms of dedication to the sport. I’ll win because of boxing brain and ability.

 

“It’ll mean everything to win. Since the age of 15, all I have done is eat, sleep and train.

 

"Sábado is my moment of destiny and, créame, Voy a ganar esta lucha. I’ve put in too much for anyone to stop me.”

 

“Tune in for a great fight. I’m going to prove I’m the best super bantamweight. I’m going to win by knockout.

 

On the home-team dressing room:

“It’s my arena, I’m the home fighter. I want the home dressing room.”

 

SHANE MCGUIGAN, Entrenador de Frampton:

“They are two legitimate, world class fighters and there is maybe only 2 percent difference at the top level – Carl has that extra percent.

 

“As a trainer you are only as good as your fighters and I’m lucky to have Carl.”

 

JOE GALLAGHER, Quigg’s Trainer

"Él (Shane McGuigan) was a nutritionist a few years ago who asked to help Gerry Storey. He’s only famous because of his dad.

 

“They are underestimating Scott’s boxing brain and being disrespectful throughout the build-up.”

 

BARRY MCGUIGAN, Frampton’s Promoter

“There has never been a bigger super bantamweight fight of this magnitude in Europe. It’s got a Barrera-Morales feel to hit and is going to be a magnificent occasion.

 

“I think Carl will have too much for him, but it has the potential to be a great fight.”

 

EDDIE HEARN, Quigg’s Promoter

“It’s bigger than Froch vs. Groves, because it is a global event.

 

“I’m proud to have made the fight happen. This can ignite the sport and keep it alive.

 

“The atmosphere and passion will eclipse all that has gone before. It just doesn’t get any bigger than this.

 

“I can’t see anything other than a great fight. With two fighters this talented, so much on the line and so much passion from teams and fans, you’re going to get something very special.”

Here’s what Frampton and Quigg had to say as they approachSábado de lucha:

 

CARL FRAMPTON:

“I have wanted this fight for a long, mucho tiempo. I thrive on the big occasions and there are not many bigger than a domestic super fight.

 

“I won my world title on a massive stage, Scott Quigg was handed his title after a draw. He has fought on big cards but not as a bill-topper and I genuinely don’t know if he will be able to handle this level of pressure. I’m going to use all of my experience to outbox, outfight and outgun Scott Quigg.

 

“We’ve been chasing these boys for years. They didn’t want it, end of story. Then all it took was one below par performance from me to convince his team that they should finally take the fight. If that first round in my last fight is what they’re basing their hopes of victory on then Scott is in for a big, big shock.

 

“I’ve had the best training camp of my career, I’m in the shape of my life and I’m going to become the unified Super Bantamweight World Champion.

 

“First and foremost I’m doing this for my family. I have two beautiful kids and both Christine (Frampton) and I want the best for them, that’s what drives me and makes me so focused on being the best in the world.

 

“I am 100 percent dedicated to the sport of boxing, I spend twelve-weeks in training camp in London away from home, only getting to go home a handful of times and I do this so I can be the best I possibly can.

 

“People have said Quigg trains like a machine. I can tell you I train every bit as hard if not harder, but I’m no machine. I don’t need to be programmed in order to perform.

 

“Shane (McGuigan) is a brilliant coach, I’ve been saying it all along. But now people are sitting up and taking notice. Shane and I work hard on tactics and techniques when we approach every fight, but we both know that if tactics need tweaking mid fight I can think my way through a contest. Scott Quigg can’t.”

 

SCOTT QUIGG:

“This is the perfect time now for this fight. We’re both world champions, we’re both undefeated, and I believe this is the perfect time for me to go out there and do a job on him.

 

“It’s a fight I’ve wanted for a long time. It’s a fight that’s been brewing for a long time. Seeing Carl sign on the dotted line meant that I was one step closer to achieving everything I’ve worked towards; becoming the best.

 

“I’ve always wanted the chance to prove I’m the best. Now the fight’s been made, I’m one million per cent confident that I’m going win in spectacular fashion. I can win on points, but I will knock out Carl Frampton.

 

“No-one expected me to get Kiko out of there early. If I’d have stopped him late or won on points, then Carl had already done that, so the only way I could get credit or show people what I am capable of was KO him early.

 

“With Carl and his performance in the States, they handpicked (Alejandro) Gonzalez from a list of opponents because they thought that he would be the easiest one. They wanted to go over there and look good in his U.S. debut so the Americans would rave about him – and he nearly came unstuck.

 

“We respect each other as fighters. You don’t become a world champion by chance, there’s a lot of hard work and a lot of talent involved. But they are in for a shock because they think I can only fight one way. They don’t think I can’t adapt and I’ll just come steaming forward. Maybe I will do that, but if I do come steaming forward, it’s because I am going to KO him.

 

“People are saying now that because I’ve been knocking guys out quite early that I’ve been going out for the stoppages, but that’s not the case. I’ve been going out and I’ve been boxing.

 

“If I land clean on any super bantamweight or featherweight in the world, I will knock them out. Así, it’s about just making sure I pick the right time and I open the gaps. And when the gaps are there then I’ll take them.

 

“I don’t take any notice of whether I’ve got the crowd behind me or whether it is behind my opponent, but I know for a fact that he takes comfort from having a lot of support. When he’s taken away from that, he shows his vulnerabilities. I think that will affect him.

 

“The Irish are very passionate about the sport and they know their boxing inside-out. They get behind their man and they will create a great atmosphere. The atmosphere is going to go off even more because we’re both at the top of our game and there’s a lot riding on this. There’s a lot of pride at stake – it’s going to be electric.”

 

“I got into boxing to become world champion. I’ve done that and now I’ve set new goals to reach greater heights because I want to challenge myself every day.

 

“Ricky Hatton became a crossover star and was a hit in the US. He took 40,000 Brits to Las Vegas and became a global star. That’s the next goal that I’ve set for myself and I can make it if I keep working hard, maintain my dedication and focus.

 

“Getting this fight now on SHOWTIME in the U.S. is the first step. I’ll go out and do a job on Carl, win in a spectacular fashion and that’s going to give me a boost for my profile in the U.S.

 

“I am not going to give the WBA belt up. Quiero pelear con los mejores. Guillermo Rigondeaux is next because that’s what the WBA have ordered.

 

“My focus is on beating Carl. We’ll look at fighting the best out there after that. Siempre he dicho, ‘I’m out to fight the best and beat the best.’ So, I’m obviously going to fight Rigondeaux. I’m not scared of fighting him. I’m not shying away from the challenge. I thrive on that sort of task and fighting Rigondeaux – who’s rightly so ranked No. 1 in the division because of what he’s achieved – would be a huge challenge. I honestly believe that if the time comes and we fight, I can beat him.”

 

SHANE MCGUIGAN, Entrenador de Frampton:

“There is a lot of debate about who hits harder between Frampton and Quigg. I know Carl Frampton is the hardest punching Super Bantamweight in the world.

 

“One thing you can’t argue about is who has the better pedigree and who has the better boxing brain. Carl wins hands down in both departments and he is going to show this in brutal and clinical fashion.

 

“Carl can box off the back foot, he can fight on the front foot and he has devastating one-punch power.”

 

BARRY MCGUIGAN, Frampton’s Promoter:

“Carl is always so cool when the heat is on him, he steps up to the plate and delivers.

 

“Even in his last fight when he didn’t get off to a great start, Carl still managed to pull himself together and do what was needed to get the win.

 

“He’s a natural born winner. I had to work very hard just to be able to compete at world level. I think the same can be said of Scott Quigg, but for Carl it comes more naturally. Couple this with his incredible work ethic and that is why Carl Frampton is the best in the world.”

Khan Stops Quaye To Secure WBU Crown

Deja un comentario

En Sábado noche, Great Britain’s Tasif Khan secured both the World Boxing Union (UMC) y Unión Mundial de Boxeo (GBU) World Super Flyweight Championships at the Cedar Court Hotel in his hometown of Bradford in the United Kingdom.

 

Kan, who only returned to the sport, following a two year sabbatical, just over twelve months ago, put in the performance of his career, in front of a pack house that included a number of British star boxers, such as interim WBA World Lightweight Champion Derry Mathews and former British, Mancomunidad, European and WBC World Champion Junior Witter as well as various local dignitaries such as the Mayor of Bradford and local MP Imran Hussain.

 

Khan also received support from the British Army, who turned out in force to watch their man being lead to the ring by the band of the Yorkshire Regiment.

 

After a slow first round, during which both combatants barely threw a shot in anger, Khan proceeded to utterly dominated Accra, Ghana’s Isaac Quaye from the second stanza right through to the sensational sixth round, during which Khan really stepped up the pace and sent the Ghanaian to the canvas three times in very short succession, the last of which was a perfect right to the chin that sent Quaye crashing backwards and prostrate on the canvas in such a spectacular manner that the Ghanaian’s corner-man immediately jumped into the ring before referee Lee Murtagh had barely started the count. NB. Quaye was perfectly fine albeit a little dazed after rising.

 

Following the bout a clearly elated Khan spoke briefly.

 

“This is the greatest day of my life, it’s a dream come true and to be crowned World Champion in front of my home crowd really is the cherry on top.

 

I have to say a big thank you to Isaac (Quaye), he’s a great fighter and it couldn’t have been easy for him to walk into the Lion’s Den with such a partisan crowd shouting out their support for me.

 

Also have to say a big thank you to Stephen (Vaughan) and his team for putting on such a great show for the fans and for believing in me, the same to Rio (WBU Europe President & MBC Vice President Gianluca Di Caro) for giving me the chance to box again and more importantly to fight for the WBU title, I’ve always wanted a WBU belt around my waist ever since watching Ricky Hatton win it when I was just a teen.

 

Huge thanks as well to GBU President Juergen Lutz for allowing me to fight for his title also.

 

Finally I’d also like to thank all my fantastic fans that turned out to support me tonight, as well as the Mayor of Bradford and my local MP Imran Hussain for their support, and last but definitely not least my sponsors; Broadway Solicitors Oldham, Kingsland Business Recovery, Vista Gym Benidorm and 3X Sports, as without you guys I could never have achieved my dream – thank you all so much”

Esto es lo que Lee y Saunders dijeron en sus entrenamientos con los medios el martes y Lunes, respectivamente:

 

ANDY LEE:

"Tengo un puñetazo que puede acabar con una pelea, apagar las luces, en cualquier segundo dado.

 

"No confiaré en el golpe. Buscaré dominar desde el principio con una presión educada.

 

"Me siento muy peligroso en este momento.

 

"El récord invicto de Saunders es una desventaja. Siempre ha estado en peleas que se espera que gane y ha sido bien dirigido por(Franco) Madriguera.

 

"Nunca he perdido una pelea por puntos y nunca lo haré por puntos. Si estoy mal en las cartas, saldré a hacer swing en la última ronda.

 

“El hecho de que Saunders sea un compañero de viaje agrega otra capa, pero al final el día se trata de lo bueno que eres y él no es lo suficientemente bueno como para vencerme ".

 

BILLY JOE SAUNDERS:

"Estoy listo para empezar Sábado noche. Este es el mejor campamento que he tenido. Estoy preparado para la prueba más dura de mi carrera., pero sé que estoy en excelente forma para ganar esta pelea y convertirme en campeón mundial.

 

"Andy Lee es un luchador duro; lo ha demostrado al convertirse en campeón mundial y tener el tipo de carrera que ha tenido. Pero estoy invicto y tengo hambre y sé que estoy al borde de cumplir un sueño de la infancia.. No me voy a dejar ese anillo sin el titulo.

 

“Entrenar en España me permite encerrarme lejos de todas las distracciones y concentrarme únicamente en la pelea. Es difícil estar lejos de casa, pero todo es parte del boxeo. Ha sido un campamento largo, un campamento duro, pero después de eso sé que estoy listo para atravesar el infierno para asegurarme de tener éxito en la noche de la pelea.

 

"La división de peso mediano es una de las más calientes y estoy preparado para pelear con cualquiera de los otros campeones una vez que gane el título..

 

"Danny Jacobs Tuvo una gran victoria contra Peter Quillin, y luego esta Canelo (Alvarez) y (Gennady) Golovkin. Sé la importancia de esta lucha por la división y quiero que mi nombre esté entre los mejores. Lo estoy dando paso a paso, pero estoy abierto a pelear con cualquiera.

 

"No ha habido charlas basura con Andy porque sabemos de qué se trata cada persona. Compartimos antecedentes similares y ninguno de nosotros va a dar un paso atrás..

 

"Esta será una pelea de acción muy emocionante porque lo dejaremos todo en el ring. Sé que tengo las habilidades para vencerlo y tengo la intención de mostrarle al mundo por qué estoy entre los mejores ".

“La verdad del asunto es que Eubank Jr. no pertenece a nivel mundial, es un farsante. Es asi de simple como eso. No me impresionó su victoria sobre Gary O'Sullivan, a quien ya he vencido. Cree que puede engañar al público con una victoria como esa., pero no puede.

 

“Su objetivo ahora es ascender y luchar contra los mejores del mundo, pero vimos lo que sucedió la última vez que dio un paso adelante y me enfrentó: estaba muy expuesto. Lo mismo pasará con él si pelea con alguien como Danny Jacobs por el título de la AMB..

 

"No eres el mejor peso mediano en tu propio país y quieres pelear con un campeón mundial y decir que lo vas a vencer? Creo que es una ilusión y él cree que es más grande de lo que realmente es..

 

"Más temprano que tarde, volverá a ser expuesto como el fraude que es. Puedes seguir hablando, pero eventualmente tienes que respaldarlo en el ring contra luchadores de alto nivel. Ganó su última pelea y ahora ha vuelto a hablar (expletivo) de nuevo como si fuera el mejor luchador de la historia.

 

"Si tiene las pelotas para pelear de nuevo, lo cual dudo, Felizmente le daría otra paliza, esta vez de una manera aún más convincente ".

Corito Stops Ellis as Gelder Outpoints Bogdanovic In Malta

Deja un comentario

ukpic1

El Viernes noche, at the Aria Complex in San Gwann, Malta’s own Heavyweight King Billy Corito scored yet another emphatic victory, this time over late replacement, Great Britain’s Matt Ellis.

 

Originally Corito was lined up to face Lee Kellett, who unfortunately was unable to make it through the floods in Cumbria to compete against the local star on this special Stephen Vaughan promoted Malta versus UK charity event, Fight For Life in aid of Caritas.

 

In front of a packed house, both fighters started hard and fast, Ellis utilising his jab to good effect to stop the local hero getting in too close, however as the bout progressed nothing Ellis could do could stop Corito getting in close and letting rip with big rights to the body of the Englishman.

 

The first two rounds were very close, but the third was a different matter altogether, Corito started fast and backed the Englishman onto the ropes with some superb combinations, once there Corito proceeded to target the body and then around the thirty second mark let rip with a powerful body shot that sent Ellis to the canvas, then as referee Lee Murtagh began the count the Englishman’s corner threw the towel in, which was ignored and the referee continued to count Ellis out.

 

The official time of the stoppage was thirty three seconds of the third round.

 

Following his victory Corito was informed by Stephen Vaughan that his next fight will be in the United Kingdom, where he will fight in a six rounder on the undercard of Tasif Khan versus Isaac Quaye WBU Super Flyweight World Championship bout in Bradford on February 6º.

 

Prior to Corito-Ellis, local Light Heavyweight Goran Bogdanovic made his professional debut against Bilston, West Midlands, UK’s Jamie Gelder.

 

Gelder started hard and fast, taking the fight to Bogdanovic, and then continued to keep up the high pace of attack for the entire four rounds, forcing Bogdanovic to be defensive throughout.

 

Bogdanovic did have some success, backing the Englishman onto the ropes and letting rip with fast and furious combinations of his own, however not enough to capture any of the rounds.

 

After four sensational rounds of boxing Judges Nick Aish and Stephen Farrugia both scored it 36-40, whilst Judge Gwayn Bonsfield scored the bout 37-39, all in favour of Jamie Gelder.

 

Supporting the two professional bouts were a number of Malta vs UK Novice Pro bouts as well as two exhibition bouts featuring local fighters.
