Regis Prograis
„Човекът, който спечели тази битка, се издига, да се надяваме, на битка за титлата. Аз съм 19-0, той е 23-0. Имам чувството, че това е наистина голяма битка.
„Приемам сериозно всичките си противници, но приемам този дори по-сериозно от другите в миналото. Той е 23-0, и има причина да е непобеден. той е добър, и той има най-добрия рекорд, с който съм се сблъсквал.
„Аз съм на етап от кариерата си, когато всяка битка може да доведе до следващото голямо нещо и мисля, че тази битка може да е за мен. аз съм търпелив, но съм готов за повече. Искам шанс за титла.
„Той е кавгаджия, но имам по-добра сила на удар, и скоростта.
„Ако се чувствам като него [Diaz] не може да ме нарани от първия рунд, Вероятно просто ще го водя цяла нощ и ще го накажа.
„Виждайки какво [Ерол] Спенс наистина ме мотивира, особено по начина, по който го направи в родния град на опонента си. Накара ме да се замисля: това мога да бъда аз един ден. Отидохме при аматьорите, така че знам колко е добър, но и аз съм добър. Просто го видях как отива там и отнема титлата, Знам, че моето време идва.
„Израснах, гледайки Мачо Камачо, Roberto Duran, Майк Тайсън, но гледах повече Duran от всичко. Много ми хареса стила му. Научих много, гледайки боксовите величия на запис.
„Терънс Крауфорд, Ейдриън Broner, Виктор Постол. Това са момчетата, с които искам да се бия.
„Започнах да се боксирам в Ню Орлиънс, и ако не беше Катрина, Вероятно няма да съм там, където съм в момента. Когато се преместих в Хюстън, Влязох в боксовата сцена и започнах да я приемам сериозно. Беше ужасна ситуация [в Ню Орлиънс], но това промени живота ми.
„Семейството ми се върна [до Ню Орлиънс], но не мен. Останах в Хюстън, за да се боксирам. Усещам, че все още не е време да се връщам у дома. Ще се върна, когато стана суперзвезда, както трябва да бъда."
Джоел Диас младши.
„Това е моят шанс, това е моята възможност. казаха ми, "имаш само един шанс", и това е за мен. Знам, че Реджис е добър, но ние ще го сложим на него. Ще бъда върху него като мухи върху лайна. Това е една от възможностите, които не мога да пропусна.
„Ще го разбием психически, намерим пътя си, и хвърли бомбата.
„Той хвърля комбинации, и това е, което трябва да му отнема. Трябва да бъда срещу него и да бъда първият, който ще атакува. Моята сила ще се погрижи за неговата скорост.
"Това значи много за мен, да покаже на света коя е „тайната“.. Хората наистина не са видели това, което имам, но след това няма да има повече тайни утре.
„Ще покажа на света кой е истинският Джоел Диас. Сега съм с правилното тегло за мен и съм 110 на сто. Не пропилях четири седмици тренировъчен лагер, опитвайки се да отслабна. Чувствам се силен.
„Световно първенство след тази битка, това е, което искам. Това е моята възможност да покажа кой съм и не мога да го пусна. Ако пусна това, Може и да се върна на училище. Това ще ми отвори всички врати.
„От известно време бяхме готови за тази стъпка. Бих искал да се бия с победителя от [Ейдриън] Broner- [Mikey] Garcia, но ще видим. Знам, че Бронер не иска да се бие с мен. Опитах се да се преборя с него и той отказа. Той знае, че ще му направя проблеми.
„Смених обувките. Бях с Абел Рамос, сега съм с Крис Бърд. С треньора Крис, това е повече защита, отколкото нападение. Работата с Крис е невероятна. Той беше боец, така че той знае какво е необходимо, за да влезе в този ринг. Той е бил там, така че той ме разбира от гледна точка на боец и това е много важно за мен. Връзката, която имаме вътре и извън ринга, е специална.
„Ще видите по-активен Джоел Диас и по-защитен Джоел Диас. Ще покажа на света кой е Джоел Диас 140 и ми повярвай, те ще поискат още, след като го видят."
Стив Rolls
„Последната ми битка продължава ShoBox [срещу Steed Woodall през декември 2015] беше учебен опит. Бях съборен в третия, но отскочих. Никога не знаеш как ще реагираш пред трудностите, докато не бъдеш поставен в това положение. Радвам се, че това се случи в началото на кариерата ми. Това ме научи на много.
„Знам, че съм 33, но се чувствам по-добре, отколкото когато бях по-млад. Грижа се за себе си. Имам чист начин на живот. Възрастта не е нещо за мен.
„Никълсън има добър удар. Виждал съм го да се бие преди. Не съм сигурен дали е направил корекции или идва с различен план за игра. Аз съм готов за каквото и да носи.
„От това, което видях, той може да се бори. Той знае какво прави там и изглежда, че има известен опит."
Demond Nicholson
"Този човек [Rolls] не е толкова опитен като мен. Аз съм голяма стъпка напред за него.
„Последната ми битка [срещу Имануел Алеем] беше голяма стъпка нагоре, и се борих до равенство с мнозинство. Беше бавно начало, но аз съм боец, и преминах през войниците. Тази битка наистина ми отвори очите за подобряване на кариерата си, моето бъдеще.
„Вижте какво направи Алеем, откакто се бихме. Той нокаутира непобеден човек [Ievgen Khytrov] с които никой не искаше да се изправи.
„Опитът ми ще ни превъзмогне срещу този човек. Има опасна дясна ръка, но ще му отнема това.
„Аз съм естествен боксьор, но хората ме наричаха кавгаджия след представянето ми с Aleem и аз не съм такъв. Но разбирам - изобщо не съм боксирал в този двубой. Ето защо трябваше да се върна към чертожната дъска.
„Научих много тренировки в Head Bangers във Вашингтон, D.C. с Бари Хънтър, Ламонт Питърсън и всички тези момчета. Научих се от Ламонт, от Ейдриън Бронер, от Остин Траут. Те спарингират с най-добрите бойци и затова се представят на най-високо ниво - защото са спарингували с най-добрите. Така че правя същото."
„Имам една загуба, и това ме научи на много. Трябваше да загубя 15 паунда за три дни за тази битка и това ми се отрази. Няма проблеми с увеличаването на теглото за тази битка."
Джон Фернандес
„Това е вторият ми двубой с новия ми треньор Тинин Родригес. Винаги се опитвам да ставам по-добър и смяната на треньорите изглеждаше най-добрият път за мен. Той ми помага да изясня основите на бокса.
„Знам, че съм висок за моята категория, но се чувствам добре. Мисля 130 е идеалното ми тегло, но може и да кача тегло в бъдеще. Ще видим. Все още съм млад и имам дълга кариера пред мен.
„Гледах касета на Маравиля, когато пораснах. Той ме вдъхнови да се занимавам сериозно с бокса. Той беше толкова добър. За мен е голяма чест да работя с него. Уважавам го много.”
Джон Кингс
„Не съм се биел с никого толкова висок, но имам добър план за игра. Знам, че той е ударник по обем, но това просто ще ме развълнува. Ще ми вдигне адреналина.
„Вълнувам се, че се бия по телевизията и в такъв специален уикенд, това е Залата на славата на бокса. Това е сбъдната мечта. Ако победя този човек, това може да промени живота ми."
Серхио Мартинес - съпромоутър на Джон Фернандес
„Джон е мислител. Той знае кога да атакува и кога да се защитава. Той наистина е надарен.
„Някои може да го сравняват с Пол Уилямс, но се бих с Уилямс два пъти и позволете ми да ви кажа, че не си приличат. Пол беше от типа боец, който ще се качи на ринга и ще излезе от първи, на второ, на трета предавка без да се замисля. Джонфер ще ви прочете, ще премине на каквато предавка трябва да бъде, за да победи опонента си. Той има много висок боксов IQ.”
Крис Бърд – треньор на Диас
„Джоел е агресивна машина, така че основният ми фокус беше върху развитието на неговата защита. Той е талантлив боксьор, но неговата агресивност понякога отваря дупки в защитата му. В този тренировъчен лагер, работихме върху това. Имаме добра стратегия.
„Той вече знаеше как да се бие, но просто трябва да го натиснеш малко в защита. Все още е агресивен, както винаги, но трябваше да помисли какво се връща към него.
„Основното ми нещо е животът след бокса. Имам двама братя, които са объркани от бокса. Ето защо се фокусирам толкова много върху защитата. Има агресивен стил, но има и талант, добра координация на краката и очите. Той ще продължи да прави страхотни неща.
„Ще видите нещо специално. Реджис е добър, Давам му реквизит, но ще видите нещо специално от Джоел. И страхотна битка."

TEAM ANDRE WARD MEDIA CONFERENCE CALL RECAP
WARD-KOVALEV 2: “THE REMATCH”
Събота, Юни 17, 2017
AT MANDALAY BAY EVENTS CENTER, LAS VEGAS
PRESENTED LIVE BY HBO PAY-PER-VIEW®
LAS VEGAS, NV (Юни 8, 2017) - Вчера, Unified Light Heavyweight World Champion Andre “S.O.G.” Ward (31-0, 15 Нокаута) participated in an international media conference call ahead of his highly-anticipated rematch against former titleholder Sergey “Krusher” Kovalev (30-1-1, 26 Нокаута). Ward-Kovalev 2: “The Rematch” takes place Saturday, Юни 17 в Събития център Mandalay Bay в Лас Вегас. The championship event, presented by Corona Extra, will be produced and distributed live by HBO Pay-Per-View® beginning at 9:00 p.m. И/6:00 p.m. PT.
Here are some of the highlighted comments from Team Ward:
Andre “S.O.G.” Ward – Unified Light Heavyweight World Champion
“It’s a blessing, what the Bay Area fans have always done for me and for what they do for their athletes, whether they’re homegrown or transplants from other cities. They just appreciate the people that go out there and represent them well. And they always return the favor.
“I enjoyed my victory just like I would any other victory. People have to understand that anytime there’s a close decision, you’re going to have opinions either way. I’ve never refuted the fact that it was a close decision but all those out there that say that it’s some home cooking, they’ve got to remember that I’m not, Знаете ли, че, от Лас Вегас, Nevada. You can’t just highlight that side of it. You got to highlight the people that also felt that I deserved the victory and (that it) was a tremendous comeback. It doesn’t take a close decision to get criticism. I’ve shut guys out for 12 rounds and got criticism. So you become immune to it after a certain period of time.
“Like I said before, [Kovalev’s] a good fighter. It’s not what it’s cracked up to be and but I give him his respect. He’s a champion and once you become a champion and have defended your belt, you’re a champion for life.
“I thought I won the fight by at least two rounds. Но в края на деня, there’s close rounds that you can call a swing round. I don’t know how this individual is judging the round or how they feel about it but if you look at the scorecards, I think the judges did a tremendous job because they were on one accord.
“I’m honored to represent my country which I’ve done since I’ve been fortunate enough to do [като] a little boy at the Junior Olympic level all the way up to the Olympics. I’ve had a lot of international competition as a professional and it’s an honor and a privilege to live here in the United States and to represent my country. And I’ve always tried to do that, no matter who I’m fighting.
“I think the first fight was a great fight. I think there was a lot of drama in the first fight, more drama than I wanted. I think it was a tremendous fight and I believe, round two is going to be a tremendous fight.
“I’ve faced a lot of adversity inside the ring. Знаеш, some of it the public has seen. A lot of it, може би, the public hasn’t seen in the many gyms or the many sparring sessions and everything you’ve got to do to get to a certain level in the sport. I knew what I had in me. I’ve been on the canvas before. I’ve been hurt in fights. I’ve been cut. Things have happened and, Знаете ли, че, my response has always been the same where if I’m physically able, I want to come get that back. I also have a tremendous coach who is my godfather. You saw him shift and go into a different gear to tell me what I needed to hear. He didn’t panic but he had a sense of urgency and he told me what I needed to hear. He just reminded me of all of the greats that had their moment. And he just reminded me that this is [my] moment. And sometimes in fights, especially in moments like this, it’s not so much technical… it’s a feeling.
“On the physical side, it was Virgil having the foresight early on when I was a young boy. He saw that I had a lot of ability and skills. He always told me that I don’t look at the things [Аз] do well, I look at where you can be beat. He said when I was 11, 12 (или) 13 възраст, ‘The only style that can give you trouble right now is a buzz saw.’
“The jab is a lost art today. Skilled inside fighting is really a lost art and a lot of guys don’t want to be there. They want you at range. They want you in a certain place and if they can’t have you there then you see a totally different fighter.
“So outside of my family, I didn’t really have a lot of ex-fighters that I could pick up the phone and call. So I just try to be available, have my phone available, and make the time where I need to make the time (for some of the younger fighters). They’ll let you know what they need to talk about and what they want to talk about. If I have the answer, I’m going to definitely give them everything that I can give them. If I don’t, I’ll try to help them find it because at the end of the day, whether it’s Claressa [Шийлдс] or Shakur [Stevenson], I’m for the fighter. I’m pro fighter. We talk about [обучение] stuff but it’s also more about life—being stable and making the right decisions now so that down the road, you’re happy that you did what you had to do. It’s an honor and a privilege to be someone that any of those fighters would want to pick up the phone and call. I don’t look at it like a burden. It’s an honor and a privilege.”
Virgil Hunter – Trainer of Andre Ward
“We’ve had a good camp. We’ve had a very smooth camp, the way you would like them to be. Sometimes it can’t always turn out that way but we are fortunate enough this time to have everything clicking. It’s good to see Andre in the gym after four fights and see him getting back and closer and closer to who he truly is—not just as a warrior and a battler and an individual who has a lot of dog in him but also that very skilled pugilist. Очаквам с нетърпение даЮни 17 and let Andre do the talking that night with his left and his right hand.
"[Andre is] a professional and he’s been through this for the 24 years of his life. You have to understand when he went to the Olympics he wasn’t with me at all for three months. So he’s a professional. He knows what to do. He’s my least worry of leaving town for a week. It’s part of the sport. It’s part of the game. And when you have a professional like Andre, Знаете ли, че, you don’t worry about those things.
“Well the opponent definitely won’t see the same fighter in this fight for a number of reasons. No need to disclose but we always go in with several plans or any plan that needs to be implemented at any given time. Разбира се, I’m not going to ask him to do anything that I know he can’t do or hasn’t worked on or hasn’t practiced but we’re fortunate enough to be able to adjust and also adapt. I believe that what we worked on for Plan A is going to be more than enough.
“An amateur is when you’re at the top level and you fight at a top level. You go into national tournaments and tend to see some opponents more than once and more than twice. So in a sense, [Друг] has had rematches. As far as this rematch is concern all I can say is ‘oh boy.’ That’s all I can say.
“There wasn’t any fear or trepidation going into the first match. You can’t have that. Разбира се, you’re aware of what the opponent brings. We’re aware that you have a bigger opponent or a stronger opponent, an opponent that can punch. We’re aware of all that but we’ve been through that before. I mean when he fought in the Olympics at light heavyweight people don’t know or they never acknowledge the fact that he was only 170 паунда. Така, he was giving up weight, height and size there. Така, he’s used to it. He’s accustomed to it. And because of his physical strength and his stamina and his IQ he’s able to overcome all of these so-called advantages that the other fighter might have. Така, once again we respect our opponent and we respect Kovalev on what he has done and what he’s capable of doing. And it’s a healthy respect but it’s not a respect that’s going to stop him from getting smashed Юни 17.
“My job is to be in that realistic moment. Знам [Друг] would embrace and understand what I was saying because it’s been between he and I, things we’ve talked about over the years many, many times. Sometimes you just have to put the strategy out the window and appeal to who you know that fighter is. And I know who he is.”
Josh Dubin – Advisor and Attorney of Andre Ward
“On behalf of James Prince and myself, I just want to thank everybody for participating in the call. We are extremely grateful for the support of HBO, all of our sponsors that have stepped up and of course, Roc Nation. At the risk of making Virgil a little bit more uncomfortable, I do feel like from top to bottom we just have the best team out there and certainly, the best trainer in the world. I feel blessed to be part of such a historic event. I know that on Юни 17 you’re going to see magic in that ring and one of the best, if not the best ever, step into the ring to do his thing yet again.”
Michael R. Yormark – Roc Nation President & Chief of Branding and Strategy
- Очевидно, Ward-Kovalev 2: “The Rematch” has the potential to be the fight of the year. As you have heard and as you’ve written these fighters don’t like each other. These fighters don’t have respect for one another and this obviously creates a lot of buzz, a lot of curiosity and a lot of anticipation for next week’s fight.
“As you’ve heard Andre state time and time again after this fight there will be no excuses. And without a doubt the winner of this fight will absolutely be the pound-for-pound king in the sport of boxing.”
Ward срещу. Ковальов 2: “The Rematch," a 12-round mega-fight for the WBO/IBF/WBA Light Heavyweight World Championships, is presented by Roc Nation Sports, Main Events, Andre Ward Promotions, Krusher Promotions and Corona Extra, sponsored by Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, Jetlux, Life10 Electrolyte, Zappos, D’USSÉ Cognac, ProSupps and Powered by Monster.

Юни 11 from The Pioneer Event Center in Lancaster, Калифорния

LANCASTER, КАТО. (Юни 8, 2017) – Unbeaten rising contender Mario Бариос shared his thoughts about his training camp and more as he nears a showdown against Mexico’s Хосе Луис Родригес на Неделя, Юни 11 в Премиер боксови Champions на FS1 и FOX Sports action live from The Pioneer Event Center in Lancaster, Калифорния.
Телевизионно покритие започва в 10:30 p.m. И/7:30 p.m. PT after the Mexico vs. USA World Cup qualifier on FS1 and FOX Deportes and is headlined by former world champion Brandon “Bam Bam” Rios returning to the ring to take on Mexico’s Аарон Herrera плюс непобеден перспектива Jose Miguel Borrego will battle once-beaten Кевин Уотс в супер лек пристъп.
Билети за събитието на живо, която се насърчава от TGB Промоции, са с цени $30 и са в продажба сега. За да закупите билети посетете сайта на Центъра Pioneer Събитие: www.uavpec.com
Here is what Barrios had to say about training camp, his matchup and more:
On fighting Jose Luis Rodriguez:
“За съжаление, in the last twelve months, I’ve had two opponents come in overweight when I was scheduled to fight on national television. I was ready to fight both times but my team advised me to cancel the bouts because the fighters were at least 10 pounds above the contracted weight. Jose Luis Rodriguez is a very tough fighter who went the distant with Felix Verdejo, who many people consider a top prospect. I just hope Rodriguez makes weight and the fight happens because I’m ready to shine.”
On his return to FS1 & FOX Deportes as the co-main event:
“I’m very excited to be returning on FS1 even though I’m not the main-event as I was scheduled to be last month. My management team once again is putting me in a great position on national television. In this fight, I’m the co-main event and I’m eager to showcase my talents at super-lightweight. I’m going to put on a great show for everyone watching.”
On his recent training camp with Virgil Hunter in California…
“Virgil and I are working great together. I feel I’m constantly getting better with Virgil each and every day we are together. He’s a great motivator and I’m pushing myself to become a stronger, faster fighter. I’ve been in camp for the last three months and I’m like a lion ready to come out of his cage.”
On fighting in Lancaster, КАТО…
“I’ve fought several times in California and the fans out here are incredible. This will be my first time fighting in Lancaster and I’m expecting the same lively crowd. The fans are what make this sport go so expect me to come out guns blazing. I’m going to explosive in this fight.”

“I am having a good camp, and I’m now training with Wali Moses,” Lopez said. “He is helping me sharpen my boxing skills and getting me to use my footwork. I’m happy to have another chance to be on ShoBox and I know I need to put on a good performance. They are giving me another chance to prove myself and I can’t let it slip away.
“I saw Dezurn’s win over Davila. He is a rough guy who has a lot of dog in him. He brings the fight to you and he is a tough. It’ll be a good fight. A win will propel me close to where I was. I was knocking on the door of a title shot; now I just want to get this win, redeem myself and move on.”
JOSHUA GREER vs. LEROY DAVILA – Eight-Round Super Bantamweight Bout

The two-time national amateur champion and 2006 Olympic alternate Davila is looking to rebound from his loss to Dezurn onShoBox in April—a close fight that could have gone either way.

“Greer is a tough fighter. He looks to throw his right hand, which is something to watch for. Освен това, I don’t know much about him. A win will make me feel better as a fighter. I just fight the fights and I let my team take care of the rest.”
