点击 这里 for Tony Harrison Photos from Superbad Gym
LAS VEGAS (五月 3, 2018) – 前世界冠军 ISHE史密斯 and 154-pound contender 托尼·哈里森 spoke about their respective training camps and upcoming matchup just over a week before they square off in the 弹跳顶级拳击冠军 周五主要活动, 五月 11 从拉斯维加斯山姆小镇出发.
Coverage on Bounce begins at 9 P.M. ET /下午6时. PT and also features unbeaten cruiserweight 安德鲁 “野兽” Tabiti 会议 拉蒂夫卡约德 为 10 回合行动.
门票活动, 梅威瑟促销活动正在推广, 开始于 $25, 现已发售，将于 www.samstownlv.com/entertain.
工匠, a native of Las Vegas fighting in his hometown, shared thoughts on his training camp at the Mayweather Boxing Club while Harrison, a former title challenger, gave insight into the work he’s put in at the Superbad Gym in Detroit.
这里是战士不得不说:
What kind of problems does your opponent pose?
ISHE史密斯: “I look at all of my opponents the same honestly. Tony is a good kid and a good fighter who’s fought for a world title. He had a lot of hype behind him back in the day before suffering his first loss. I’ve been in this game for so long and sparred so many future and current Hall of Famers, I look at each opponent the same.
托尼·哈里森: “I know that Ishe is a rugged fighter who likes to get inside, and that sometimes causes things like accidental head butts and also just makes for a grittier fight overall. He’s willing to dig deep and get muddy. He comes in with a lot of experience, which you can never take lightly.”
How do you expect this fight to look?
TH: “I’m just going for the win, but if I have a shot to stop him I’m going go for it. I want to be the first one to do what nobody else has been able to do, and that is stop Ishe Smith. I think doing that would put me right back in the conversation at the top of the division. But I’m just going in there to win by any means necessary against an experienced opponent.”
IS: “Well my biggest opponent at my age, with the wisdom I’ve gotten, is the man in the mirror. I have to make sure that man is ready to fight. That will dictate the direction this fight goes. I’ve been on a roll of showing up ready to fight recently. If I’m proud of that man in the mirror, it’s going to be a memorable fight,”
How has this training camp gone? Have you made any recent adjustments to your camp?
IS: “I’ve had a nearly 20-year career but until now, I’ve never had a strength and conditioning coach for two consecutive fights. Being able to stay with one guy for the Julian Williams fight and then having him again, that’s going to be key. It helped me last fight and it’s going to keep me going forward.”
TH: “This camp has been amazing. This has been the first camp that I’ve felt like I haven’t overdone it and run my body into the ground. I’ve always tried to go over and beyond what I’ve needed to do. This camp has just been more calculated and methodical. I’ve gotten rest when I needed it. I feel great.”
Who have you been sparring with and what have you been looking to get from your sparring partners?
TH: “The atmosphere at the gym has been at a world championship level. My sparring partners have been a really versatile bunch of quality fighters. We’ve done work with U.S. 奥运选手查尔斯康威尔, 莱昂·劳森, William Williams, 拉纳多·泰纳, Antonio Urista and a couple others. I think we’ve covered just about whatever Ishe could throw at me on May 11.”
IS: “I’ve sparred everybody you can think, especially for this camp all of the guys on the Mayweather Promotions team. I’ve been sparring big guys, little guys and I’ve even joked with Andrew Tabiti about getting in there with me. I’m really having fun and enjoying my time in the gym.”
Do you think the 12-year age gap will make a difference in this fight? Why or why not?
IS: “Absolutely not. He’s been knocked out twice. I’ve never been stopped. I do a good job of ignoring the outside noise. Age is nothing but a number. It’s totally different when you’re actually in the ring with me. I’ve always been about challenging myself. I live a fighter’s life inside and outside of the ring. I’m set up to deal with anything that’s thrown my way in this game.”
TH: “I don’t really know how he lives his life, so I’m not really sure how his age may or may not play a factor. But I’ll be coming in at an aggressive pace, and then we’ll see how things play out. It’s a mystery for now though until we get in there and figure him out a bit. But he looked good and fresh against Julian Williams and Williams is one of the top guys in the division. So I think he’ll be confident coming off of that performance, but I’ll be ready for him.”
What kind of improvements have you made in recent fights and how will you implement that in the ring on May 11?
TH: “My main thing is my confidence. I don’t think anybody can beat me when I’m at the top of my game. When it’s fight time, I’m able to implement that and motivate myself. I know in my heart that these guys can’t beat me.”
IS: “I’ve been able to develop a really strong support system in my life that’s helped my career stay strong. By using that and treating my body well, I’ve been able to last. This recent work with a new strength and conditioning coach has really been a game changer and I think can take me to another level in this portion of my career.”
What can a win on May 11 do for you going forward? Who would you like to go after next with a win on May 11?
IS: “A win on May 11 is the only option. I want to have my hand raised at the end of the night. The win can mean a lot. Julian Williams was in a title eliminator after beating me, so I know anything is possible. 我一定要赢. It just means everything to me. I’m never going to look past what’s on my plate. No dessert for me until I finish my dinner.”
TH: A win against Ishe would get me back to the truly meaningful fights, 冠军争夺战. I’d love another shot at a title holder like Jarrett Hurd. The goal is to get back to the top to face the best fighters in this stacked division.”

Mason “Rock Hard Mighty” Menard is focused and determined like no other time during his career.
The lightweight contender moved six hours from his home and two children in Louisiana to train with a new team in Dallas alongside the likes of WBC World Super Welterweight Champion Jermell Charlo and IBF Welterweight Champion Errol Spence Jr.
梅纳尔 (33-2, 24 科斯) will face undefeated Devin “The Dream” Haney (18-0, 12 科斯) of Las Vegas for the USBA Lightweight Championship on Friday, 五月 11, in the 10-round main event of the popular prospect series 的ShoBox: 新一代 quadrupleheader (10 P.M. ET / PT) on SHOWTIME from 2300 竞技场在费城.
在10轮的共同特征, super bantamweight prospects Josh “Don’t Blink” Greer (16-1-1, 8 科斯) and Glenn Dezurn (9-1-1, 6 科斯) 见面会. In an eight-round featured attraction, light heavyweight Alvin Varmall Jr. (15-0-1, 12 科斯) takes on Charles Foster (15-0, 8 科斯); and in the opening televised fight, super bantamweight Arnold Khegai (11-0-1, 8 科斯) will face Adam Lopez (16-2-2, 8 科斯) 在八轮较量.
门票活动, which is promoted by Greg Cohen Promotions, 强力促销 & 德文 - 哈尼促销, 售价为 $125 对于VIP, $70 用于马戏团和 $50 for general admission and are available at the 2300 Arena Box office or online at www.HardHittingPromotions.com.
“Everything has changed,”梅纳德说. “The way I eat in my off-time, 我的团队, my management, 我的教练, the way I train. Everything.”
The 29-year-old Menard says his home state of Louisiana simply couldn’t offer the level of training he is now getting, working with new trainers Nathan Pipitone, Maurice James and Aaron Navarro, while sparring with world champions.
“I’m in Dallas to better my career,” Menard continued. “Louisiana just doesn’t have what I need to take it to the next level and compete. I’m working hard here and it’s what I need. I’m pushing the tempo and sharpening my skills.”
Fighting live on 的ShoBox 在 2016, Menard scored a brutal Knockout of the Year candidate over previously undefeated Eudy Bernardo and got another 的ShoBox win later that year with an impressive KO over Bahodir Mamadjonov. He then suffered his only loss since 2008, in a short-notice showdown with WBO Lightweight Champion Raymundo Beltran.
He returned from the setback in March 2017 with a decision win, but suffered a serious injury.
“I had a detached front rotator cuff tendon and partial torn biceps tendon. It gave out on me in my last fight in the first round. I’ve had surgery on it, and rehabbed it, and now I’m ready to return to the world stage. I’m in with a good, slick boxer, but my trainers have a game plan and we have been working on a few things that he does, just to be prepared for what’s to come against him. 我会准备好的。”
Menard says the hardest part of preparing to face one of boxing’s most talked-about prospects on national television is the loneliness of missing his two beloved daughters, Demi (8 岁) and newborn Amelia.
“I get homesick. I miss my babies back home, but it’ll all be worth it,“他说，. “It’s my job and I’m going to do it.”
波特兰, 缅因 (五月 3, 2018) - 新英格兰战斗 (NEF) 返回到Aura在波特兰, 缅因州即将举办下一场综合格斗赛事, “NEF 34: Home of the Brave,” 周六 夜晚, 六月 16, 2018. 今天早些时候，, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur bantamweight bout to the card. Killian Murphy (1-0) 见面会 Gabriel Diaz (0-1) 在战斗重量 135 英镑.
Murphy made his cage debut last month at “NEF 33” in Portland with a first-round technical knockout of Krishna Scott (0-1). He followed the footsteps of his older brother Connor Murphy (1-2) into the NEF amateur ranks. Killian trains with Nostos MMA of Somersworth, New Hampshire under the tutelage of UFC signee, 前 NEF 职业轻量级冠军, 德文 - 鲍威尔 (8-3). Prior to joining Nostos, Murphy was a standout on the wrestling mats for Marshwood High School in Elliot, Maine where he won a Class A state championship in 2015.
“I’m really excited for my second fight,” 墨菲说. “I’ve got an amazing coach and team behind me. As for the finish, I won’t predict anything. I’ll let all my work in the cage speak for itself.”
Gabriel Diaz is a member of F2 Arena in Gainesville, 佛罗里达. 六月 16, he will not only be looking to avenge his own loss at “NEF 33” to Murphy’s Nostos teammate Zac Richards (1-0), but Diaz will also have the opportunity to avenge his own F2 Arena teammate, Krishna Scott, who was defeated by Murphy at “新EF 33。”

Welterweight World Champion Makes Homecoming Defense at

Unbeaten Mandatory Challenger
Live on SHOWTIME at The Star in Frisco, 德克萨斯州在由总理拳击冠军提出的事件
点击 这里 从以斯帖林/ SHOWTIME照片
弗里斯科, TEXAS (五月 2, 2018) – Welterweight world champion 埃罗尔·斯彭斯JR. received a champions’ welcome in his hometown Wednesday at Dallas Cowboys World Headquarters at a press conference to discuss his homecoming defense Saturday, 六月 16 live on SHOWTIME against unbeaten 卡洛斯·奥坎波 at Ford Center at The Star in Frisco in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.
Spence and Ocampo were welcomed with personalized Dallas Cowboys jerseys and an appearance from Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders at The Star as Spence prepares to make his first hometown world title defense. He last fought in Dallas in November 2015 but will now have a chance to excite his hometown fans in the first boxing event to take place inside Ford Center.
门票活动, 由 TGB Promotions 与 Man Down Promotions 联合推广, 周五发售, 五月 4 在 10 A.M. CT and can be purchased at www.SeatGeek.com.
Here is what the press conference participants had to say Wednesday from the Dallas Cowboys Headquarters Atrium Interview Room at the Star:
埃罗尔SPENCE JR.
“这对我来说是一个巨大的机会. This has been a lifelong dream of mine. I can’t wait to fight in front of my hometown fans that have been rooting for me since the amateurs. It’s great to bring this event to Ford Center. I’m happy to defend my title against a great contender like Ocampo and I hope everyone comes out and supports their champion.
“I don’t think there’s any extra pressure fighting in my hometown. It’s just added motivation. Real pressure was fighting against 30,000 fans in the champion’s hometown for my first title against Kell Brook. This is me fighting in front of people who love me and who have seen me grow up as a boxer. I can’t wait to put on a show for them.
“Everybody poses a challenge in the ring. Ocampo is tough. He’s young and this is something he’s been fighting for his whole life. I know he’s coming to fight. Mexican fighters have a great tradition. They come to fight and they don’t back down. I know he’s going to give it his all and that gets me motivated.
“My motto is ‘Man Down’ and I have to live up to it. I don’t go in looking for the knockout, but I let it happen naturally. I let it come to me and we’re definitely going to let it happen on fight night.
“I feel like I’ve definitely earned this hometown fight. To go to another country and fight a champion in his hometown, and to win the belt, I think I deserve to defend my belt in front of my fans.
“It’s going to be a great feeling being at this venue on fight night. When I was a kid, I thought I was going to be playing for the Cowboys. So this is just going to be a wonderful opportunity. I’ve already talked to a lot of Cowboys players who are excited to come see me fight.
“I do believe I’m the best welterweight in boxing right now. I’ve been trying to prove it for a long time. I’m never looking past anyone, but I’d love to fight Danny Garcia, Shawn Porter and when he’s back, 基思·瑟曼. I’m ready to fight the best in the division and prove I reign supreme over all of them.”
CARLOS OCAMPO
“I know that this is a great opportunity to be fighting here in Spence’s hometown. That’s a plus for me and it motivates me. I’m going to be ready to fight for 12 发.
“It’s supposed to be tough with the crowd against me and I know I’m the underdog, but my mind is only on the fight. I’m just fighting one man, not a whole crowd. I know that I have what it takes.
“Spence is a very smart and tough fighter, but he doesn’t scare me. I’ve been working for this for too long and I will be 100 percent ready to win.
“I’ve had a very tough preparation and a very long camp. We’ve been sparring southpaws to prepare and so far everything has been smooth.
“Being here I am even more excited and more motivated to push hard these last weeks of training camp and come into this fight at my absolute best.
“I have been the underdog before and I’m prepared to once again overcome that. I’m not worried about what anybody else thinks of me or this fight. My mind is only on winning and being prepared to do whatever I have to.
“He can talk about knocking me out all he wants but I’m here too and I’m ready to knock him out on June 16.”
德里克·詹姆斯, 斯彭斯的教练
“Being at home, this fight is going to be about Errol keeping his focus and staying task. He’s always been able to do that. He’s motivated and driven. He’s the guy that you have to drag away from the gym.
“I never looked ahead to moments like this with Errol, from the beginning we just grinded away day by day. I was focused on enhancing his skillset and that’s what we’re still doing to this day.
“I’m able to keep my feelings bottled up until after a fight, because being at home there can be a lot of distractions. But of course, this event being here in Dallas is phenomenal. I’m most excited that my two daughters will be able to come to the fight.
“Errol has been training extremely hard like he always does. On the first day of sparring he did 15 与轮 [WBC 154-pound champion] Jermell Charlo and [轻重量级不败] 阿德里安·泰勒.
“The two of us just have to stay focused and everything comes naturally. It’s going to be a great show for this city and a great night for Errol.”
STEPHEN ESPINOZA, 总统, 体育和事件编程, Showtime Networks, Inc.
“SHOWTIME is the home of the biggest fights and brightest stars in boxing, so we are particularly thrilled to be here at the home of the best professional franchise in sports, the Dallas Cowboys. We’re proud to be bringing the first boxing event ever inside of the Ford Center and we can’t wait to show off these facilities on SHOWTIME in June.
“This is the first world title fight in Dallas in quite some time and I can’t think of anyone better to bring that here with than Errol Spence Jr. It’s fitting that the NFL Draft was here last week, because I think that if boxing had a draft, there’s a good argument Errol Spence Jr. would be the number one pick. He’s top pound-for-pound champion, he’s a popular draw and he’s in boxing’s most talent-rich division. He has the ‘Trainer of the Year’ in his corner and has won 10 straight fights by knockout, from contender to champion. That is the sign of a truly great fighter.
“The great thing about boxing and for Carlos Ocampo, is that none of those accolades matter on June 16. 排名, opinions and belts don’t matter. It’s just two guys in a ring and only one man will win. He’s spent his whole life working for this opportunity and I believe that will make this an exciting event.
“As a Texas-native, I know that Dallas is a football town, it’s a good town for all sports but at its heart, Dallas is a football town. But I have great confidence that on June 16, Dallas will be a great boxing town as well.”
汤姆·布朗, TGB促销总统
“With IBF Welterweight World Champion Errol Spence Jr. making his homecoming debut at this great venue, the Headquarters of the Dallas Cowboys, I know that this is going to be a hot ticket and one you’ll want to purchase right way.
“A lot of hard work went into getting this event together at this great venue and we’re thrilled to be working with the team here at Ford Center to bring it to the fight fans of this city.
“Errol Spence is one of most talked about fighters in the sport. Many consider him the best welterweight and perhaps the best fighter in the world. He’s also made it known that he’s willing to prove that and fight the best in the division. But he can’t afford to look past this young undefeated challenger from Mexico, in Carlos Ocampo. He’s fought his whole life for this opportunity and is here to make the most of it. It’s going to be a great night and a great homecoming for Errol Spence Jr. on June 16.”
STEPHEN JONES, Chief Operating Officer of the Dallas Cowboys
“These are two really special young men on this stage and this is the kind of event that we had in mind when we opened The Star. To be able to have great athletes like these as part of unique events at The Star is something we’re very excited about.
“We like to create versatility for this venue and we want to bring all types of sporting events here. This doesn’t happen without the city of Frisco and the Frisco independent school district. We’re also honored to partner with TGB Promotions and Premier Boxing Champions for this groundbreaking announcement.
“It’s known how energetic the sport of boxing is, but to be able to host Errol Spence Jr. and have him represent our city will be an unforgettable experience for all. Carlos Ocampo is a quality opponent who is also unbeaten. I admire both of you men and I look forward to watching you on June 16.”
