Këtu është ajo që pjesëmarrësit kishin për të thënë E enjte:
DEONTAY Wilder
The reason I wanted this fight is not only do I think Ortiz is one of the best technical fighters in the division, but he’s the boogeyman that everyone is running from. Champions have avoided him and I’ve always said I was the best and this is my chance to prove it.
This result isn’t up to anyone but myself. Every time I get under the bright lights, I give the fans what they want to see. This is the best versus the best and that’s what boxing deserves.
I had all the excuses in the world to run away from this fight after he failed the test. There are a lot of good, up-and-coming heavyweights out there, but I wasn’t interested in them. This fight is how I prove that I’m the baddest man on the planet.
“Në mars 3, with all the personal things put aside, it’s going to be an honor to fight Luis Ortiz, man to man and father to father. I know that family is his motivation, just like it is for me, and that’s why I blessed him with this opportunity.
The exciting thing about Saturday night is for everyone to see what I’m capable of doing. Luis Ortiz is determined to get my WBC belt. This is my seventh defense of my title and I’ve enjoyed every one. It’s a lot of responsibility and I take it seriously. You’ll all see të shtunën night why I’ve said the things I’ve said.
Everyone knows what I’m expecting E shtunë natë. I can’t say it enough. I have knocked every opponent out for a reason. I plan on continuing my knockout streak. That’s what I do and that’s what I’m best at.
This is the best fight right here in boxing that can be made. Ajo nuk ka marrë ndonjë të mirë se kjo të shtunën natë. You have to be here in person, because you won’t want to miss anything. You never know what you’ll see, por E shtunë night will be bombs away.
LUIS ORTIZ
I never say anything bad about fighters because inside the ring, çdo gjë mund të ndodhë. I respect everyone who steps into the ring. This is my opportunity. Kjo është hera e. Deontay is a great champion but this is my chance.
Like I always say, this is my time and it’s going to be a great triumph. This is big for all of Cuban boxing and I will make my country proud.
This is going to be like two trains on the same track about to collide. I’m going to win and I’m going to take his belt.
This is not a video game. This is not using controllers. You have to actually step into the ring with me të shtunën natë.
Deontay is scared. He’s talking a lot of nonsense. He’s worried about what I’m going to do. Kjo është hera e. I’m going to show everyone.
“Unë jam 100 percent ready to go. Sparring has been amazing and I’m totally prepared for Deontay Wilder. Deontay’s biggest mistake is that he talks too much.
I looked into his eyes and I knew that I’m not going to lose this opportunity. I’m going to be the first Cuban and the first Latino born outside the country to win a title. E shtunë night will be historic.
The public gave me this opportunity to fight for the title and beat you for your belt. I’m going to make the most of my chance and knock Deontay Wilder out.
ANDRE DIRRELL
It was a rocky start for me in our first fight. He caught me with a good shot in the early rounds, but I was able to fight through it. I started to dominate the second half of the fight but he had definitely thrown my game off. I still weathered the storm and made good things happen. This fight is very deserving of a rematch and I’m looking forward to it.
This fight right here is one of the beautiful moments we have in boxing. There were two wrongs that night in the last fight. I’m really happy with everyone who has made this rematch and gave the sport what it deserves.
Now Jose Uzcategui and myself both have chances to prove ourselves again. This is going to be the worst opportunity of Uzcategui’s life. But it will be the best opportunity for me.
This is my opportunity to prove all of the critics wrong this time. I’m not the favorite, and it’s a beautiful thing. I’m going to change every single mind të shtunën natë. I’m stepping up to the plate, and I’m preparing to hit a home run.
Virgil Hunter has definitely helped me with my mental game. We’ve worked on a masterful game plan. Virgil is tough to work with but we did all of the necessary things we had to in order to accomplish what we have to të shtunën.
The next two years or more will be the best years of my career. I’ve been blessed with an illustrious career. This is a new look for me and I feel good. I have a very tough, hungry fighter in front of me and I can’t wait to prove myself.
JOSE UZCATEGUI
We’re not doing anything differently heading into this fight. I’ve put the time in at the gym every day to make sure that the fight ends conclusively this time.
Before I even got to the ring in the first fight I felt some animosity from the referee towards me and it kind of led to what happened in the fight.
Saturday night you’re not just going to see that I’m a boxer-puncher, but you’ll see my full power on display.
I’m happy to be in this rematch. I hope that Dirrell brings action like he’s talking about të shtunën. I don’t want to chase him around the ring all night.
I’m ready to accomplish my dreams, and that involves beating Andre Dirrell more decisively than last night and leaving no doubt at all who the better fighter is.
Lou DIBELLA, Presidenti i DIBELLA Entertainment
Deontay Wilder put everything aside to face one of the greatest amateur heavyweights in the history of boxing. This fight is happening because Deontay is that good and he’s that proud. Deontay is ready to prove that he’s the baddest man on the planet.
There is a sensational off-television undercard beginning at 5:30 ores. at Barclays Center that includes a group of top contenders and prospects. It’s really a loaded undercard from top to bottom.
That great undercard includes a woman’s title fight involving Alicia Napoleon. Everyone involved in this fight has made an effort to have women’s boxing represented on our cards and I’m proud to be able to deliver that for fans.
This will be Deontay’s third defense of his title in Brooklyn at Barclays Center. He successfully defended against Artur Szpilka and Bermane Stiverne, with two frightening knockouts. I’m proud to work with Barclays Center and promote boxing in Brooklyn. This is certainly one of the best venues for boxing in the world and certainly a venue that is dedicated to bringing the fans consistently excellent programming inside the arena.
This fight is getting the kind of reception that it deserves. If you want to get tickets for E shtunënatë, I would call now because they’re moving fast.
STEPHEN Espinoza, President Sports & Events Programming, Showtime Sports Inc.
When we have a fight card like this, the network gets a lot of credit but these fights truly don’t happen unless fighters like Wilder and Ortiz are ready to take the fights.
When we announced our schedule back in January, there was one fight that jumped out to everyone, and it was Wilder vs. Ortiz. They have 67 fights between them, 67 fiton, 0 losses and 62 knockouts. This is part of what we’re calling ‘March Madness’ në Showtime. All four heavyweight titles, the top four heavyweights in the world, including Anthony Joshua vs. Joseph Parker on Mars 31, facing each other this month on SHOWTIME. There hasn’t been a lineup like that put together by any network in the history of the sport.
The titles are great but these fights are about something else. They’re about legacy. When people look back and ask, ‘what kind of fighter was Deontay Wilder?’ This is the fight that they will talk about. More important than knockouts and unbeaten records, this is why fighters are remembered.
Dirrell vs. Uzcategui 2 is good enough to be a main event and they deserve to have a great stage for this rematch. These are the kind of cards that people look back and say, were you there that night? If you’re not watching this card, you’re not a boxing fan. Because this is the best that the sport has to offer.
Brett YORMARK, CEO of Brooklyn Sports & Argëtim
I can’t tell you how excited I am for Saturday night. People are starting to realize how viable this sport is and that boxing is a sport on the rise. We’re thrilled to be a part of it
Events like E shtunë in Brooklyn are why this sport is thriving. It features a deep card from top to bottom, 50-50 fights and great fighters with magnetic personalities
“Deontay, even though you weren’t born in Brooklyn, we do consider you our own. We’re excited to have Luis Ortiz as well, për herë të parë, të shtunën natë. This is a card from top to bottom that’s incredible and I’m thrilled to welcome Andre and Jose to Brooklyn.
The seats are moving really quickly and this should be one of the biggest fights we’ve had at Barclays Center. We’re very excited for this show and look forward to seeing everyone there.

I want to fight Keith Thurman, Danny Garcia, Shawn Porter, Errol Spence or the winner of the Jeff HornTerence Crawford fight,” Said Shelestyuk.
I know that I have the skills and pedigree to beat those guys. I just need my opportunity, and I know that will be coming soon. I have been working hard in the gym, and I sparred with Viktor Ortiz for his bout with Devon Alexander, as well as WBA Super Welterweight Champion Brian Castano.
Shelestyuk also has been helping with the career of his wife Alina. Alina is a runway model, who has done numerous photo shoots in Los Angeles.
Shelestyuk is co-promoted by Banner Promotions and Thompson Boxing.

Silva sharp for Saturday showdown with Casarez; targets the best at 135

Silva.jpg
Plant City, FL (Mars 1, 2018) – Many in the boxing world best remember Brazilian lightweight William Silva for his gutsy 2016 performance against Felix Verdejo. In the HBO televised bout, Silva showed tremendous heart and toughness but was outpointed over ten rounds in front of a sold out pro-Verdejo crowd.
“I didn’t have the right team or training camp at the time,"Tha Silva, who entered the Verdejo bout 23-0.
Since relocating to Florida from Arizona, Silva linked up with Jose Rodriguez at the Plant City Boxing Gym and inked a promotional agreement with Tampa-based Fire Fist Boxing Promotions. Në nëntor 2017, he returned to the ring after a year and a half layoff to outpoint Ariel Vasquez. Deri tani, everything has paid off and Silva’s currently in top form.
“He’s been training at a fantastic pace, Said Rodriguez. “His balance and power are extraordinary – he’s ready to fight!"
E shtunë, Mars 3, Silva faces tough Rogelio Casarez in the 10 round main event of a Fire Fist Boxing card at Banquet Masters in Clearwater, FL. Silva-Casarez is for the NBA World and IBO Continental lightweight championships. Casarez, who has a deceiving 13-6 rekord, faced excellent opposition including Jamel Herring and multi-division title contender Cesar Seda, who he took the distance last August.
“I don’t know much about him besides that he’s a tough lefty that comes at you,” Silva said of his opponent.
Even with limited information about the man he’ll swap punches with Saturday evening, Silva’s confident he’ll defeat his Arkansas-based foe before setting his sights on the 135 pound division’s elite.
"(With a victory) I hope to get ranked and fight the top fighters at 135. This is my time to make it happen because I’ve got the right people behind me that believe in my career.”
The card starts at 7 pm and also features 7 other bouts including local standouts Nicholas Iannuzzi, Antonio Tarver Jr., Joseph Fernandez, Ricky Tomlinson and Ozodek Aripov.

Johnny Tapia ishte nicest, njeriu më i përulur që kam takuar ndonjëherë. Ne u bë familja e deri në palestër u shpërbë. Ai vetëm coached mua për tetë muaj, por ai më mësoi se boksi përcakton ty si person, në dhe nga unaza. Unë ndjehen të sigurt në ring. Unë jam një person më të mirë për shkak të Johnny dhe boksit.”

Style-i mençur, dëmton Sharahya-Taina mbi kundërshtarët e saj’ gabime, rregullimi në unazën e njëjtë si, ajo tha, “Ashtu si në jetë.” në 5′ 10″, Moreu ka një lartësi dhe për të arritur të dallueshme përparësi mbi pjesën më të madhe të mesme kundërshtarët, duke përdorur këto atribute, Shpejtësia e saj dhe goditje e ashpër të grumbullohem relentlessly deri pikë.

Ajo fuqimisht beson se, për arsye të Claressa Shields‘ Shfaqjet ari medalje në 2012 dhe 2016 Olimpiada, dyert janë të hapura të gjerë për gratë në boks. “Unë pashë një grua amerikane të bëjë atë që bëri Clarissa dhe të bëhet një forcë dominuese në boks,” Moreu vërejti. “(2016 U.S. Madhështor dhe tre herë USA Boxing Champion Kombëtar)) Mikaela Mayer (3-0, 2 KO si një pro) ka ndihmuar shumë, shumë. Ajo nënshkroi me një promotor të mirë (Top Rank). Boxing është ngadalë bëhet më mirë për gruan, ndoshta jo të barabarta me burrat, por ka më shumë vajza Boks sot se kurrë më parë dhe kjo është një shenjë e mirë.”

Luftimi në shtëpi në kualifikimet perëndimore ka një domethënie të veçantë për Moreu. “I menduar luftuar në Albuquerque do të jetë një shumë e presionit,” ajo pranoi, “por ka jo shumë presion mbi mua për shkak të të gjitha mbështetja unë jam duke marrë. Është e lehtë këtu. Albuquerque nuk është si një qytet i madh, por është duke u bërë një qytet luftë.

“Më pëlqen të udhëtojnë dhe të takohet me njerëz të ndryshëm. Vitin e kaluar, I përfaqësuar në Shtetet e Bashkuara në Indi në Kampionatin Rinisë, dhe pashë një pjesë tjetër të botës, se si njerëzit të trajnuar dhe kishin stile të ndryshme të jetës. Unë jam kthyer 19 maj, kështu që kjo është për herë të parë tim boks në një turne Elite, dhe është e madhe duke bërë atë në vendlindjen time.

Moreu gjithashtu kredi atit të saj një sasi të madhe të suksesit të saj në ring dhe jetën. “Ai ka qenë një prind i vetëm, por ai gjithmonë është aty duke bërë më të mirën për mua si një baba dhe trajner,” Sharahya-Taina vuri në dukje. “Shumica e njerëzve nuk e dinë se ai është Puerto Rican, nëna ime një Native American (Pueblo).”

Ashtu si shumica e të rinjve, atletët elitës, Sharahya-Taina ka një ëndërr. “2020 në Olimpiadën,” ajo arriti në përfundimin. “Unë dua për të krijuar veten si një amator dhe përfundimisht shkojnë pro dhe të ketë një karrierë të mirë.”

Springfield has had a long history in boxing. The Golden Gloves were held in Holyoke, one city over from Springfield, për 50 years before coming here.
