A NEW NEF BANTAMWEIGHT CHAMPION WILL BE CROWNED IN BANGOR

PARA DIVULGAÇÃO IMEDIATA: Bangor, Maine (Junho 21, 2017) - Fights Nova Inglaterra (NEF) retorna ao Cross Insurance Center no sábado noite, Agosto 5, 2017 com o próximo evento misto de artes marciais da promoção luta, “NEF 30: Rumble em Bangor.” Hoje cedo, NEF announced the addition of an amateur championship bantamweight contest to the fight card. Fred Lear (5-2) deve se reunir Walt Shea (2-0) for the vacant NEF MMA Amateur 135-pound championship.

A member of Young’s MMA based in Bangor, Lear is riding a two-fight win streak into the first hometown fight of his career. Em fevereiro deste ano, Lear defeated Shea’s First Class MMA teammate Michael Crespo (3-3) with a second-round technical knockout. He is a finisher, with all but one of Lear’s five victories coming by way of technical knockout or submission. He is promising local fans a crowd-pleasing fight against Shea on 5 de agosto.

Walt Shea has shown tremendous poise and fortitude in his back-to-back wins,” proclaimed Lear. “My job over the next eight weeks is to work hard, stay humble, and listen to my teammates and coaches who have carried me to this point in my career. This is an extraordinary opportunity and it is my responsibility to seize it. This isn’t about myself or an ammy title. This is about Bangor and delivering on the fight this town deserves.

Walt Shea has been to the judgesscorecards twice in his time with NEF, and twice Shea has emerged victorious. He made his debut last September with a split decision win over Joel Downing (0-1). Shea followed up that appearance with a unanimous decision over Alan Bustamante (0-1) earlier this year atNEF 27.He is a member of First Class MMA based in Brunswick, Maine, as well as The Foundry in Farmington, Maine.

It’s an honor to be fighting for the amateur 135-pound title atNEF 30,'said Shea. “Honestamente, it’s hard to believe considering almost two years ago I was just an overweight fan watching my cousin Nick Shea compete in the cage. Meu oponente, Fred Lear, is a tough kid who comes from another tough gym in Young’s MMA and always brings a ton of energy into the cage, so be ready for a war of cardio and willpower from each of us. I’d like to thank my family for standing behind me in this adventure, along with my head coach at First Class MMA, John Raio, and all my other outstanding coaches and my talented teammates.

"NEF 30: Rumble in Bangor ”será realizado no Cross Insurance Center em Bangor, Maine no sábado, Agosto 5, 2017. Os ingressos já estão à venda em www.CrossInsuranceCenter.com.

LAS VEGAS (Junho 21, 2017) – Invicto Eddie Ramirez (17-0, 11 KOs) ganhou uma vitória decisão dividida sobre Erick Óssea (16-5, 8 KOs) no evento principal de Premier Boxe dos Campeões TERÇA TOE-de-toe em FS1 e Boxe dos Campeões na Fox Deportes Terça-feira night from Sam’s Town live in Las Vegas.
Representing Chicago, Ramirez controlled the fight early by working off of his jab and attacking with both hands on the inside. Bone was able to consistently throw counters back, but Ramirez showed good defensive skills throughout the night, never taking serious punishment.
I was comfortable in the ring hoje à noite,” said Ramirez. “I remain unbeaten. I put the pressure on and I got the win. I think the fans will start to see me more and more.
Ramirez began to break through the guard of Bone and had him in trouble in round four before Bone found his composure and finished the round. The second half of the fight saw Bone increase his movement, which seemed to frustrate Ramirez, who was looking to engage and deliver a knockout.
He made it a little difficult because he wasn’t cooperating,” said Ramirez. “He was running around the ring, but I am proud of my performance. I won and that’s all that matters. I’m going to get back in the ring and get back to training until I get word on my next fight.
Bone finished the fight strong and believed he did enough to earn the decision.
“Eu não concordo com a decisão,” disse Osso. “I am frustrated because I feel I won, however the judges saw it differently. I thought I landed more punches and I just don’t see how they came to the decision that was made. He was a good fighter, tough opponent, but again I believe the wrong decision was made hoje à noite.”
After the 10-round welterweight contest concluded it was Ramirez who was awarded the decision with scores of 97-93 duas vezes, while one judge saw the bout 97-93 for Bone.
I want whoever is next,” said Ramirez. “I’m ready for whoever can get me closer to a title shot.
Ação televisionada adicional viu Xavier Martinez (8-0, 4 KOs) keep his perfect record intact by earning a shutout unanimous decision against previously unbeaten Prince Smalls (11-1-1, 4 KOs) in their eight-round featherweight contest.
While Smalls had the reach advantage and was dedicated to his jab throughout the bout, Martinez was consistently aggressive and was able to navigate the distance and punish Smalls with hooks to the head and body.
I knew the one advantage he had going into this fight was his height,” , disse Martinez. “But once I got in the ring I saw quickly that he was leaving his body open so I just went in and tried to deliver as many combos and hit the body as much as I could.
Martinez landed big power punches all night, including a pinpoint right cross that connected with Smalls at the end of round four. A clean left hook staggered Smalls in round seven as Martinez spent the round punishing his opponent, who was barely able to stay on his feet and finish the frame.
After another dominant round to close out the bout, Martinez was awarded the decision by the score of 80-71 em todos os três juízes’ scorecards.
I wanted the knockout and I think the fans could tell,” , disse Martinez. “This is my first fight this year, so it’s back in the gym for me as I look to my next opponent. I’ll definitely be ready for anyone.
The opening bout of the telecast saw lightweight prospect Dennis Galarza (16-2, 9 KOs) record his third straight victory via a unanimous decision over Mexico’s Omar Tienda (18-5, 11 KOs) in their 10-round contest.
The taller Galarza used his length early and landed clean hooks on the inside during round one. Tienda came out in round two intent on making it a rough fight and crowding Galarza to negate his reach advantage.
I give my performance about a 7.5,” Disse Galarza. “I knew I was coming into the ring with a tough rugged veteran Mexican fighter and he used that to his advantage, I should have used my jab more.
Galarza continued to have success with his left hook throughout the night, while Tienda was able to slow down Galarza’s offense in the middle rounds with a relentless body attack. Much of the battle took place in close quarters and in round nine Tienda was deducted a point by referee Robert Byrd for throwing Galarza to the canvas.
After 10-rounds of hard-fought action, Galarza’s clean work and good movement in the late rounds helped him earn a unanimous decision by scores of 100-89, 99-90 e 98-91.
There was a lot of holding, but it didn’t really affect my plan,” Disse Galarza. “I wanted the knockout going in but I’m just happy I got the win unanimously. I need to get back in the gym and work on really using my jab and uppercut more and I think that will help me going into the next fight.

LOS ANGELES (Junho 20, 2017) – Four-division world champion Adrien Broner e campeão mundial três divisões Mikey Garcia completed a two-day media tour that took them from coast-to-coast and culminated with a Los Angeles press conference Terça-feira to discuss their super lightweight showdown that headlines SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING Sábado, Julho 29 vivo no canal Showtime. Broner vs. Garcia is presented by Premier Boxing Champions at Barclays Center, the home of BROOKLYN BOXING®.

Tickets can also be purchased at the American Express Box Office at Barclays Center. Grupo descontos estão disponíveis pelo telefone 844-BKLYN-GP.

The fighters spoke to media at the Conga Room in L.A. Live as they prepare for the 12-round matchup that serves as one of the summer’s premier fights. Aqui está o que os participantes tinham a dizer Terça-feira:

ADRIEN BRONER

“I don’t shy away from fighting anyone. I will fight anyone they bring to the table. I said yes to this fight immediately and hung up.

“I’m going to do whatever I have to do to get the victory. Mikey Garcia says he has great power, but I would like to see what his opponents would do if I hit them. Give me all 36 of his opponents and give him all of my opponents, let’s see what our records would be.

“I broke my hand in my last fight but I’m feeling good right now. I’m going hard in sparring with some great, undefeated fighters. I’m full-focused heading into this fight. I’m going to get up for this fight and show that I’m still one of the best out here.

“I’m always going to be me. Right now I’m just focused on boxing and getting this victory on Julho 29.

“Mikey is a great fighter. I just feel like I’m on a different level. The best is fighting the best right here and it’s going to be explosive.

I’m thankful. I’ve been through a lot of things in my 27 years of life. And I have another opportunity to show what I’m made of. I’m not missing weight on my birthday. You can bet on that. Julho 29 I’m going to be victorious.

“Anyone can get hit if you let them. Everyone Mikey has put down has been at 135-pounds and under. I’ve already been a champion there. After this fight I think he’s going to go back to where he belongs…in the lower weight classes.”

MIKEY GARCIA

“I’m very happy to be here and get back in the ring. This is the kind of fight that I deserve and the kind of fight that will please the fans.

“Everybody already knows what kind of fighter Adrien Broner is. Ele é um campeão por uma razão, the skills and talent are there. I’m undefeated and you can’t deny my skills either. That’s going to make this a great fight.

“This is really two of the best fighters matching up against each other. Isto é o que o boxe é tudo. That’s what I want to give the fans. I’m not taking on any easy opponents, I’m here to challenge and be in big fights.

“I want the fans to be able to appreciate the sport of boxing. These are the kind of fights that fans will remember for years. This could be the Fight of the Year. We’re very even when it comes to our accolades and achievements.

“When Adrien is at his best he’s a fantastic fighter. I’m always at my best. You can never doubt that. You’re going to see an incredible fight. I want to win this fight and open up bigger opportunities. Adrien knows it’s the same for him, that’s why he moved his camp to Colorado.

“This has all the ingredients of a great fight. Em Julho 29 Barclays Center is going to be the place to be at. Se você não pode fazê-lo, make sure you watch on SHOWTIME. Não perca. People are going to be talking about it for years to come.”

MIKE STAFFORD, Instrutor da Broner

“Adrien has to use his speed to his advantage. We have to use our smarts in the ring and make sure we’re the bigger man. More power and more speed will get us to victory.

“Mikey tries to set traps and tries to counter with the hook or the right hand. We throw too many combinations for that. With Adrien being the bigger man, he has to use the quick jab and set up the right hand.

“Mikey is a slick boxer. He definitely has skills. That’s what we want. We never really liked fighting a brawler. I always train my guys to box. Styles make people seem different ways and I think this is the perfect style for Adrien.”

ROBERT GARCIA, Garcia’s Brother & Treinador

“We’re getting ready for the best Adrien Broner possible. We know he’s already out in Colorado for training camp because he knows it’s not an easy fight. This is do or die for him so he’s taking it seriously.

“When they brought up the name of Adrien Broner, it took no time for us to agree. This was an easy fight to make.

“Inside of the ring I think we’re going to see a great Adrien Broner. When Mikey beats him, I want Mikey to get the credit for beating a great fighter.”

LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO de Promoções Mayweather

“This is a tremendous matchup. Both of these guys have had outstanding careers so far. This is what our sport is all about, bringing two great champions together, fighting in the prime of their careers.

"No papel, this a 50-50 luta. I think both guys are fighting the best opponent they’ve seen in their career. Adrien is going to have to be on his A-game, and I expect him to be at his best for a guy with the talent of Mikey. But Adrien Broner is the real deal too. Not too many can deal with him at his best.

“If you look back at all the outstanding programs that SHOWTIME has brought to us and continues to bring to us, this is what boxing is all about. Champions fighting champions. The vision is to bring big-time boxing back with great events like this.”

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Executive VP & GM, Showtime Sports

“This is a special fight. You have two of the brightest young stars in boxing sharing the ring. A few years ago Adrien decided that he was going up to 147-pounds. He took one of Robert Garcia’s fighters, Marcos Maidana. They obviously had a great training camp because Marcos looked fantastic and it just wasn’t Adrien’s night. Most fighters would have packed it in after the first three or four rounds. That’s not what Adrien did though, he fought even harder. What I saw that night, was Adrien Broner’s heart. I will never doubt what Adrien Broner brings to the table.

“Mikey is in his own quiet way very similar. There are a lot of situations where fighters aren’t happy with a promoter. More often than not the fighter doesn’t stick to his principles. What Mikey did for two and a half years, shows you what kind of backbone he has. He knew what was right and what was wrong. Agora, he’s in charge of his own career.

“I’m here today because I know this will be a good fight. I know that neither guy will back down, they’re both going to give it their all and they’re going to bring out the best in each other.”

Elite Prospect Michael Dutchover HighlightsPath to GloryUndercard Friday Night

PARA DIVULGAÇÃO IMEDIATA

LARANJA, Califa. (Junho 20, 2017) – Júnior leve Michael Dutchover (4-0, 4 KOs), a highly accomplished amateur and recently turned professional, highlights Sexta-feira noite de “Path to Gloryundercard do Doubletree Hotel em Ontario, Califa.
Watch Dutchover vs. Carrizoza and the rest of the 6-fight card on TB Presents: Path To Glory, live streaming on ThompsonBoxing.com e Facebook Vivo começando no 7:45 p.m. PST / 10:45 p.m. HUSA.
Os ingressos para “Path to Glory” custam $40, $60, & $100 e estão disponíveis para compra on-line em ThompsonBoxing.com, ou pelo telefone 714-935-0900.
Dutchover, who trains in Southern California but resides in Midland, Tex., faces his toughest opponent to date: once-beaten Miguel Carrizoza (10-1, 2 KOs) of Hermosillo, Mex.
The bout marks Dutchover’s second 6-round fight of his young career. He stormed into the paid ranks with four straight knockout wins.
The plan this year is to up my level of competition,” said Dutchover, who recently sparred with world title challenger Petr Petrov. “I know I’m ready for the challenge. I want to work my way to the top, and in order to do that I need to challenge myself.
Dutchover had a successful amateur run that saw him win nine national titles, a bronze at the 2015 U.S. Olimpíadas, and a runner-up finish at last year’s National Golden Gloves competition. Dutchover, 19, believes he was built to fight professionally.
“Como amador, I often boxed in the pro-style,” said Dutchover, who counts Danny Zamora, older brother Junior Dutchover, and Javier Gomez as coaches. “I didn’t really throw a lot of quick, small punches that define the amateurs. I was more aggressive in my approach. I worked the body and threw a lot of power shots.
Detailed opponent scouting reports in the early years of a boxer’s professional career are often not available. Dutchover has an idea of what to expect from Carrizoza, but he will rely mostly on his extensive amateur background.
I had such a long amateur career that I’ve seen basically every style in the book,” said Dutchover, who is promoted by Banner Promotions and Thompson Boxing. “I’m going to adapt in the ring and be prepared for whatever he brings. I had an excellent training camp. I’m in great shape and ready to go after another win.
We are looking forward to Micheal stepping up in competition na sexta-feira noite,” said Matthew Rowland, Vice-presidente de Promoções Banner. “Michael has shown that he is ready for this challenge, and we expect another terrific performance.

MILITARY VETERANS WILL VIE FOR PRO MMA TITLE IN BANGOR

PARA DIVULGAÇÃO IMEDIATA: Bangor, Maine (Junho 20, 2017) - Fights Nova Inglaterra (NEF) retorna ao Cross Insurance Center no sábado noite, Agosto 5, 2017 com o próximo evento misto de artes marciais da promoção luta, “NEF 30: Rumble em Bangor.” Hoje cedo, NEF announced the addition of a professional championship middleweight contest to the fight card. CJ Ewer (2-0) vai assumir Microfone “O Bigode” Hansen (5-5) for the vacant NEF MMA Pro 185-pound championship.

CJ Ewer serves as a member of the United States Air Force security forces. When not defending the nation overseas, Ewer trains at Young’s MMA in Bangor. He is an accomplished wrestler, with two Maine state high school championships and a New England district championship to his credit. Ewer wrestled under legendary coach Ted Reese while attending the University of Southern Maine (USM). Upon joining the MMA circuit, he put together a 5-2 gravar como amador antes de se tornar profissional. Ewer’s last fight was one year ago to the day in Bangor atNEF PresentsDana White: Olhar dentro’ for a Fight.” He dropped Ruben Redman (0-1) with a highlight reel knockout that brought White and his web series co-stars to their feet at ringside.

Mike is a tough-as-nails opponent, and I look forward to testing myself against him,” said Ewer of the upcoming title fight with Hansen. “No final da luta, the most prepared fighter will win. Mike will not out work me in preparation, nor does he have training partners that I have. I look forward to bringing the 185-pound belt back to Young’s MMA on 5 de agosto.”

Mike Hansen, like CJ Ewer, proudly served his country. Hansen was a combat engineer in the United States Army before retiring from the service. Also like Ewer, Hansen comes from a wrestling background with a Maine state title earned during his time with Mountain Valley High School in Rumford, Maine. A founding member of team Berserkers MMA, Hansen has a reputation for taking on all comers. He has never backed down from a challenge, sometimes battling behemoths two weight classes larger than himself.

I’ve been working towards this moment for years now,” stated Hansen. “I busted into the Maine MMA scene just over two years ago and have been fighting top ranked fighters and the guys that everyone else runs from to prove that I can fight. CJ Ewer is a great competitor coming from the best camp in the state at Young’s MMA. I have nothing but respect for them up there, and I know he will come ready to fight. Com isso dito, I will be ready for war, and I’m coming home with the gold that night. He’s just another man locked in the cage with me, and anyone who has had that caged locked behind them across from me knows I’m not an easy win.

"NEF 30: Rumble in Bangor ”será realizado no Cross Insurance Center em Bangor, Maine no sábado, Agosto 5, 2017. Os ingressos já estão à venda em www.CrossInsuranceCenter.com.

Claressa Shields domina para ganhar WBC Silver Belt, Estabelece o recorde do Detroit Brawl Gate; Tem visões no próximo campeonato mundial

Fotos de Boy Ryder

Apenas em sua primeira luta de oito rounds, Claressa “T-Rex” Shields obteve uma vitória espetacular por decisão unânime na última sexta-feira, Junho 16, no Templo Maçônico em Detroit para ganhar o título WBC Silver Super Middleweight.

Shields (3-0, 1KO) dominou Sydney difícil “Ginger, o Ninja” LeBlanc (4-2-1), vencendo todas as oito rodadas em todos os três juízes’ scorecards a caminho de adicionar o cinturão de prata do WBC ao cinturão do NABF Middleweight Championship. LeBlanc simplesmente não era páreo para os punhos em chamas do favorito da multidão, Shields, que se estabeleceu de forma convincente como uma candidata ao campeonato mundial de boxe feminino depois de apenas três lutas profissionais.
Shields’ luta foi o evento principal de um evento apinhado de Detroit Brawl, que estabeleceu um novo recorde de portão para a popular série de Detroit do promotor Dmitriy Salita.

“Claressa é uma das melhores boxeadoras do mundo!” disse Dmitriy Salita. “Independente de gênero, suas habilidades e experiência são as dos lutadores de elite do mundo. Ela está melhorando a cada luta e o céu é o limite. Claressa está pronta para os lutadores top de sua categoria e vamos trabalhar para que a próxima luta do campeonato aconteça”

No evento co-principal de 10 rodadas, peso cruzado transplantado de Detroit, Alexey Zubov mudou-se para 15-1, 9 KOs com uma decisão surpreendentemente fácil de 10 rodadas sobre o conceituado Demetrius Banks de Detroit (9-1, 4 KOs).
Desde o sino de abertura, a taxa de trabalho superior de Zubov contou a história, já que o confuso Banks não tinha respostas para o grande golpe do russo. Todos os três juízes marcou a luta 99-91. Não houve knockdowns.
“Duas das melhores perspectivas cruiserweight do mundo se encontraram em Detroit,” continuação da palavra. “O vencedor agora é um verdadeiro competidor, pronto para lutar contra os melhores do mundo. Alexey melhorou muito desde o tempo em que treinou com Sugar Hill no Kronk Boxing Gym. A magia de Kronk está viva e ganhou vida na atuação de Alexey. Grandes coisas no horizonte para ele!”
Outro estábulo crescente de candidatos promissores de Salita, Peso galo de Detroit Ja’Rico O’Quinn (7-0, 5KOs) tinha muitas ferramentas para o desarmado David Martino (2-3, 2 KOs) e venceu por decisão unânime e dominante (60-54, todos os três juízes). Um talento para assistir, O’Quinn basicamente conduziu o determinado Martino a seus tiros rápidos por seis rodadas.
“A defesa de Ja'Rico foi excelente em sua luta. Seu oponente raramente era capaz de tocá-lo. Ele vai ser uma força na 118 lbs. em um futuro não muito distante.”
Outro concorrente emergente do estábulo de Salita, bola de demolição do meio-médio júnior Bakhtiyar Eyubov (13-0, 11 KOs) precisou de apenas 1:41 da primeira rodada para mastigar e cuspir Cesar Soriano do México. Eyubov mirou no corpo de Soriano e tirou-lhe o fôlego com um baque surdo de capuzes de esquerda no fígado que acabou rapidamente. Eyubov é um animal.
“Bakhtiyar subiu na categoria de peso porque ninguém vai lutar com ele. Essa luta mostrou o porquê,” Disse Palavra. “Ele é muito forte para a maioria dos lutadores permanecerem por muito tempo. Ele estará em uma grande briga em um futuro próximo. Ele está pronto.”
Em outros resultados, Antonio Urista de Michigan (8-2, 2 KOs), tirou uma surpresa surpreendente com uma decisão unânime de seis rodadas (59-53 e 58-54 e 58-54) sobre o Turcomenistão Serdar Hudayberdiyev (3-1, 2 KOs). Urista largou Hudayberdiyev com uma mão direita em loop e nunca se recuperou totalmente. Ambos os lutadores sofreram cortes neste caso difícil.
Para abrir o show, Michigan meio-pesado Darren Gibbs (1-2, Eu nocauteei) obteve sua primeira vitória profissional com um TKO1 de 30 segundos sobre o estreante Scott McCurdy; Jacob Bonas (3-0-1, 2 KOs) marcou um TKO3 sobre Tony Brooks (1-2) e Dimash Niyazov (10-0-3, 5 KOs) permaneceu invicto com um nocaute técnico no quinto round sobre Ramon Guevara surpreendentemente determinado (10-24-2, 6 KOs).
Thank you to everyone involved in this terrific show,” disse Dmitriy Salita. “The fans of Michigan asked for world-class boxing and they’ve responded by filling the Masonic Temple. And thank you to all my great sponsors for all their help and congratulations to all the fighters for their brave performances. It is onward and upward for Claressa Shields, who will be back later this summer against a world-class fighter. Clearly, she is ready for anyone in the world.

The fighters spoke to media at Dream Hotel Downtown in Manhattan to discuss their 140-pound clash that will headline an exciting night of action later this summer.
Aqui está o que os participantes tinham a dizer Segunda-feira:
ADRIEN BRONER
I want to thank everyone who showed up today. I’ve been in some crazy situations and I’m blessed to be here. To get a fight like this is huge. Boxing is going back to the old days where the best fight the best. Mikey is definitely one of the best out there today.
This can take our careers to the next level. I’m taking this seriously. I’ve been training in Colorado Springs. The weight will not be a problem. This gives me a reason to make 140. I’m not paying a man to put hands on me.
I’m training hard and I think this will be one of the best performances of my career. This will take me to the superstar level where I need to be. I heard Mikey is a big favoritethey aren’t giving me much of a chance. I hope no one puts their house against me on this fight, because it won’t work out well for you.
This fight will definitely bring the best out of me, because Mikey isn’t a sloppy fighter, he isn’t an awkward fighter. Não me entenda mal, he’s a Mexican, but he boxes like an African American. We’re going to have a nice fight and I can’t wait to put on a show.
When you’ve got two athletic fighters that have skills, it can only bring the best out of each other. And the cream always comes to the top.
I’m more focused this training camp. There are so many distractions in Cincinnati or D.C. There is nothing to do in Colorado but look at the mountains and box.
“Vai ser uma grande luta. Robert Garcia is a great trainer for his little brother. We’re both undefeated at 140-pounds and under. Something has to break. I want everyone to tune in on Julho 29. You will see a real serious Adrien Broner in the ring. It might get ugly for Mikey on Julho 29.”
MIKEY GARCIA
I’m very thankful for this opportunity. I can’t stress the importance of this fight enough. It’s the biggest fight that I could have. There are other names that are out there, but nothing made more sense than facing Adrien Broner.
Adrien has accomplished a lot and when he’s at his best, he’s really great. That’s what I expect on Julho 29. I see that he’s taking this seriously by moving camp to Colorado. I expect him to bring the best out of me and give the fans the best fight possible.
The fans here in New York have always treated me well and it’s a fan base that just really loves boxing. The fans are what make me a world champion. I owe it to them to perform to the best of my abilities. I’m going to come ready on Julho 29 so that this fight is remembered as one of the best of the year.
I think he is motivated because it’s a big fight, one where he can try to get his career back on track and try to be a superstar like he has been in past big fights. He didn’t perform so well in his past fight against [Adrian] Granados and this is an opportunity for him to jump back and be a superstar again. And I think that’s what’s motivating him for this fight.
The weight makes sense to me for this type of fight. 135-pounds is probably my best division, but I don’t think this will be much different. I’ll make weight a little more comfortably and still keep my speed and power.
I’ll do whatever it takes to win this fight. I’m more of a boxer-puncher but if I need to press the fight and put pressure on, I’m going to be ready to do that.
I know that we definitely have to be in the best shape possible. I am not going to take this lightly. I am not thinking it’s going to be an easy win for me. I think it’s going to be a tough fight. I believe he’s going to be ready 100% and that’s going to make it a tough fight for me but overall I think I’m the better fighter, better boxer and I’ll have enough tools to bring in the ring with me.
Adrien is going to come to beat me and I’m coming 100 percent to beat him. The fans will be the winner on fight night, but my hand will be raised.
MIKE STAFFORD, Instrutor da Broner
These are two really talented fighters and they’re going to put on a big show. We know Mikey is going to be prepared so we are going to do everything we can to be ready.
Being in Colorado for training is like home for me and Adrien. This is what we’ve done since he was 18-years-old. Expect the same thing as every time before when he comes focused and prepared.
Adrien is going to win and win real big. Vai ser uma luta dura, but we’ll be victorious when that final bell rings.
ROBERT GARCIA, Garcia’s Brother & Treinador
Every time Mikey and I come to New York we get nothing but love. We know Adrien is very talented and that’s why Mikey said yes to this fight. It took less than 30 seconds for him to agree.
Mikey wants nothing else but big fights and we have one here. Expect a hell of a fight on Julho 29. I know we’re both going to be in great shape on fight night.
Lou DiBella, Presidente da DiBella Entertainment
I love this fight. This is why we do this job. We want to make sensational fights like this for the fans to enjoy.
Adrien Broner has spent a lot of time at the top of the sport while Mikey Garcia has made his way back to that top tier emphatically since returning last year.
Mikey has insane amounts of talent. He’s a tremendous ambassador for the sport and he can do everything in the ring.
Adrien Broner is a star. He’s ‘The Problemand sometimes he’s his own biggest problem. He’s an entertainer. People hate him but they pay to see him. He gets a lot of love and he gets a lot of hate. That’s worked for a lot of guys in this sport over the years. People care about him.
STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Executive VP & GM, Showtime Sports
The bar has been set so high when you look at this year in boxing. It’s a high bar to get a main event at Barclays Center. The standard is very high and this fight certainly satisfies it. Two of boxing’s brightest young stars, both under 30 years old matching up against each other.
This is the 19th live boxing event on SHOWTIME this year. Three world title unification, three world title rematches and six times where a top five fighter has fought another top five fighter in the division. We’re proud to bring you these two fighters on SHOWTIME. I give the fighters all the credit in the world for taking this fight. These guys are ready for big fights and they are proving it.
BRETT Yormark, Chefe executivo, Brooklyn Sports & Diversão
“Em Julho 29, Barclays Center will host its fourth major card of 2017. There is a great heritage of boxing in New York and I’m proud that Barclays Center is the number one boxing venue in the country. It has become a destination for the sport’s best talent, with Adrien and Mikey being two prime examples of that.
I’m looking forward to one of the year’s most talked about fights. Adrien won a world title at Barclays Center and Mikey made his comeback there just last year. Julho 29 will be a special night not just for Brooklyn boxing, but for all boxing fans.
Fights fans everywhere have already circled Julho 29 on their calendars and I look forward to seeing everyone next month.
