CYTATY KOŃCOWE:
Regis Prograis
“The person that wins this fight goes up, ufnie, to a title fight. Jestem 19-0, on jest 23-0. I feel like this is a real big fight.
“I take all my opponents seriously, but I’m taking this one even more seriously than others in the past. On jest 23-0, and there’s a reason he’s undefeated. He’s good, and he has the best record I’ve ever faced.
“I’m at a stage in my career where every fight can lead to the next big thing and I think this fight may be it for me. I’m patient, but I’m ready for more. I want a shot at a title.
“He’s a brawler fighter, but I have the better punching power, and the speed.
“If I feel like he [Diaz] can’t hurt me from the first round, I’ll probably just walk him down the whole night and punish him.
“Seeing what [Errol] Spence did motivates me, especially the way he did it in his opponent’s hometown. It got me thinking: that can be me one day. We went at it in the amateurs, so I know how good he is, but I’m good too. Just seeing him go over there and take the title away, I know my time is coming next.
“I grew up watching Macho Camacho, Roberto Duran, Mike Tyson, but I watched more Duran than anything. I really liked his style. I learned a lot watching the boxing greats on tape.
“Terence Crawford, Adrien Broner, Victor Postol. Those are the type of guys I want to fight.
“I started boxing in New Orleans, and if it wasn’t for Katrina, I probably wouldn’t be where I am right now. When I moved to Houston, I got into the boxing scene and started taking it seriously. It was a horrible situation [w Nowym Orleanie], but it changed my life.
“My family went back [to New Orleans], but not me. I stayed in Houston to box. I feel it’s not time for me to go back home just yet. I’ll come back when I become a superstar, like I’m supposed to be.”
Joel Diaz Jr.
“This is my chance, to jest moja szansa. I’ve been told, ‘you only get one chance’, and this is it for me. I know Regis is good, but we’re going to put it on him. I’m going to be on him like flies on shit. This is one of the opportunities I can’t let pass.
“We’re going to break him down mentally, find our way in, and drop the bomb.
“He throws combos, and that’s what I have to take away from him. I have to be on him and be the first to attack. My power will take care of his speed.
“This means a lot to me, getting to show the world who the ‘secret’ is. People haven’t really seen what I have, but there will be no more secrets after jutro.
“I’m going to show the world who the real Joel Diaz is. I’m now at the right weight for me and I’m 110 procent. I didn’t waste four weeks of training camp trying to lose weight. Czuję się silny.
“A world championship after this fight, to jest to czego chce. This is my opportunity to actually show who I am and I can’t let it go. If I let this go, I might as well go back to school. This is going to open all the doors for me.
“We’ve been ready for this step for a while. I’d like to fight the winner of [Adrien] Broner- [Mikey] Garcia, ale zobaczymy. I know Broner doesn’t want to fight me. I tried to fight him and he turned it down. He knows I’ll give him trouble.
“I changed trainers. I used to be with Abel Ramos, now I’m with Chris Byrd. With Coach Chris, it’s more defense than offense. Working with Chris is amazing. He was a fighter, so he knows what it takes to step in that ring. Był tam, so he understands me from a fighter’s perspective and that’s very important for me. The bond we have inside and outside the ring is special.
“You’re going to see a more active Joel Diaz and a more defensive Joel Diaz. I’m going to show the world who Joel Diaz is at 140 and trust me, they will ask for more after they see it.”
Steve Rolls
“My last fight on ShoBox [against Steed Woodall in December 2015] was a learning experience. I was knocked down in the third, but I rebounded. You never know how you are going to react in the face of adversity until you are put in that position. I’m glad that happened early on in my career. It taught me a lot.
“I’m know I’m 33, but I feel better than when I was younger. I take care of myself. I have a clean lifestyle. Age is not a thing for me.
“Nicholson has a good jab. I’ve seen him fight before. I’m not sure if he’s made adjustments or if he’s coming with a different game plan. Jestem gotowy na wszystko, cokolwiek wam przynosi.
“From what I’ve seen, może walczyć. He knows what he’s doing in there and it looks like he has some experience.”
Demond Nicholson
“This guy [Rolki] is not as experienced as me. I’m a big step-up for him.
“My last fight [against Immanuwel Aleem] was a big step up, and I fought to a majority draw. It was a slow start, but I’m a fighter, and I soldiered through. That fight really opened my eyes up to better my career, my future.
“Look at what Aleem has done since we fought. He knocked out an undefeated guy [Ievgen Khytrov] that no one wanted to face.
“My experience is going to get us over the hump against this guy. He has a dangerous right hand, but I’m going to take that away from him.
“I’m a natural boxer, but people were calling me a brawler after my performance with Aleem and that’s not who I am. But I get it – I didn’t box at all in that fight. That’s why I had to go back to the drawing board.
“I learned a lot training at Head Bangers in Washington, D.C.. with Barry Hunter, Lamont Peterson and all those guys. I’ve learned from Lamont, from Adrien Broner, from Austin Trout. They spar with top fighters and that’s why they perform at the highest level – because they’ve sparred with the best. So I’m doing the same.”
“I have one loss, and that taught me a lot. I had to lose 15 funtów in three days for that fight and that took a toll on me. There are no issues making weight for this fight.”
Jon Fernandez
“This is my second fight with my new trainer Tinin Rodriguez. I always try to get better and changing trainers seemed to be the best path for me. He’s helping me round up the fundamentals of boxing.
“I know I’m tall for my weight class, but I feel OK. Myślę 130 is my ideal weight, but I might go up in weight in the future. Zobaczymy. I’m still young and I have a long career ahead of me.
“I used to watch tape of Maravilla when I was growing up. He inspired me to be serious about boxing. He was so good. It’s such of honor to be working with him. I respect him a lot.”
Juan Reyes
“I haven’t fought anybody that tall, but I have a good game plan. I know he’s a volume puncher, but that’s just going to get me excited. It’ll get my adrenaline pumping.
“I’m excited that I’m fighting on TV and in such special weekend, it’s the Boxing Hall of Fame. To jest marzenie. If I beat this guy it could change my life.”
Sergio Martinez – Jon Fernandez Co-Promoter
“Jon is a thinker. He knows when to attack and when to defend himself. He’s truly gifted.
“Some may draw comparisons of him with Paul Williams, but I fought Williams twice and let me tell you they are not alike. Paul was the type of fighter that would get in the ring and go from first, to second, to third gear without thinking. JonFer will read you, will go to whatever gear he needs to be to defeat his opponent. He has a very high boxing IQ.”
Chris Byrd – Diaz’s Trainer
“Joel is an aggressive machine, so my main focus has been on developing his defense. He’s a talented boxer, but his aggressiveness sometimes opens holes in his defense. In this training camp, we worked on that. We have a good strategy going.
“He already knew how to fight, but you just have to push him a little bit on defense. He’s still aggressive as ever, but he needed to think about what’s coming back at him.
“My main thing is life after boxing. I have two brothers that are messed up from boxing. That’s why I focus on defense so much. He has an aggressive style, but he also has talent, good feet and eye coordination. He’ll go on to do great things.
“You’re going to see something special. Regis is good, I give him props, but you’re going to see something special from Joel. And a great fight.”

TEAM ANDRE WARD MEDIA KONFERENCJA PODSUMOWANIE
WARD-KOVALEV 2: „REWELACJA”
Sobota, Czerwca 17, 2017
W CENTRUM WYDARZEŃ MANDALAY BAY, LAS VEGAS
PREZENTOWANE NA ŻYWO PRZEZ HBO PAY-PER-VIEW®
LAS VEGAS, NV (Czerwiec 8, 2017) - Wczoraj, Mistrz świata zjednoczonej wagi półciężkiej Andre „S.O.G.” Oddział (31-0, 15 KO) wziął udział w międzynarodowej konferencji medialnej przed długo oczekiwanym rewanżem z byłym posiadaczem tytułu Siergiejem „Krusherem” Kowalowem (30-1-1, 26 KO). Ward-Kovalev 2: „The Rematch” odbędzie się w sobotę, Czerwiec 17 w Mandalay Bay Events Center w Las Vegas. Wydarzenie mistrzowskie, prezentowane przez Corona Extra, będzie produkowany i dystrybuowany na żywo przez HBO Pay-Per-View® od godz 9:00 p.m. I/6:00 p.m. PT.
Oto niektóre z wyróżnionych komentarzy od Team Ward:
Andre „S.O.G.” Oddział - Mistrz świata zjednoczonej wagi półciężkiej
„To błogosławieństwo, co kibice Bay Area zawsze robili dla mnie i za to, co robią dla swoich sportowców, czy pochodzą z własnego domu czy przeszczepione z innych miast. Po prostu doceniają ludzi, którzy tam wychodzą i dobrze ich reprezentują. I zawsze odwzajemniają przysługę.
„Cieszyłem się swoim zwycięstwem, tak jak każdym innym zwycięstwem. Ludzie muszą zrozumieć, że zawsze trzeba podjąć decyzję, i tak będziecie mieć opinie. Nigdy nie zaprzeczyłem, że to była bliska decyzja, ale wszyscy ci, którzy mówią, że to jakaś domowa kuchnia, muszą pamiętać, że ja nie, wiesz, z Las Vegas, Nevada. Nie możesz po prostu podkreślić tej strony. Musisz podkreślić ludzi, którzy również czuli, że zasłużyłem na zwycięstwo i (że to) był niesamowitym powrotem. Nie trzeba podejmować ścisłej decyzji, aby otrzymać krytykę. Odciąłem się od facetów 12 rundy i otrzymał krytykę. Więc po pewnym czasie stajesz się na to odporny.
„Jak powiedziałem wcześniej, [Kovaleva] dobry wojownik. To nie jest to, czym się wydaje, ale okazuję mu jego szacunek. On jest mistrzem, a kiedy już zostaniesz mistrzem i obronisz swój pas, jesteś mistrzem na całe życie.
„Myślałem, że wygrałem walkę przynajmniej o dwie rundy. Ale koniec końców, są bliskie rundy, które można nazwać rundą swingową. Nie wiem, jak ta osoba ocenia rundę ani co o niej myśli, ale jeśli spojrzysz na karty wyników, Myślę, że sędziowie wykonali świetną robotę, ponieważ byli jednomyślni.
„Jestem zaszczycony, że mogę reprezentować swój kraj, co robię, odkąd miałem to szczęście [jako] mały chłopiec na poziomie juniorów olimpijskich aż do igrzysk olimpijskich. Jako profesjonalista miałem wiele międzynarodowych zawodów i to zaszczyt i zaszczyt mieszkać tutaj w Stanach Zjednoczonych i reprezentować swój kraj. I zawsze to robiłem, nie ważne z kim walczę.
„Myślę, że pierwsza walka była wspaniałą walką. Myślę, że w pierwszej walce było dużo dramatu, więcej dramatu niż chciałem. Myślę, że to była ogromna walka i wierzę, runda druga będzie ogromną walką.
„Na ringu spotkałem się z wieloma przeciwnościami. Wiesz, część tego widzieli ludzie. Dużo tego, być może, publiczność nie widziała wielu siłowni ani wielu sesji sparingowych i wszystkiego, co musisz zrobić, aby osiągnąć określony poziom w sporcie. Wiedziałem, co mam we mnie. Byłem już na płótnie. Zostałem ranny w walkach. Zostałem przecięty. Coś się wydarzyło i, wiesz, moja reakcja była zawsze taka sama, jeśli jestem fizycznie w stanie, Chcę to odzyskać. Mam też wspaniałego trenera, który jest moim ojcem chrzestnym. Widziałeś, jak zmienia bieg i wrzuca inny bieg, żeby powiedzieć mi, co chciałem usłyszeć. Nie panikował, ale miał poczucie pilności i powiedział mi to, co chciałem usłyszeć. Po prostu przypomniał mi o wszystkich wielkich, którzy mieli swój moment. I właśnie przypomniał mi, że tak [mój] za chwilę. A czasem w walkach, zwłaszcza w takich chwilach, to nie jest zbyt techniczne… to uczucie.
„Po stronie fizycznej, to Virgil miał zdolność przewidywania, kiedy byłem małym chłopcem. Widział, że mam wiele zdolności i umiejętności. Zawsze mi powtarzał, że nie patrzę na rzeczy [ja] dobrze, Patrzę, gdzie można cię pokonać. Powiedział, kiedy byłem 11, 12 (lub) 13 lat, „Jedynym stylem, który może sprawić Ci teraz kłopoty, jest buzz”.
„Dźgnięcie to dziś zagubiona sztuka. Umiejętne walki wewnętrzne to naprawdę stracona sztuka i wielu facetów nie chce tam być. Chcą cię w zasięgu. Chcą cię w określonym miejscu i jeśli nie mogą cię tam mieć, to widzisz zupełnie innego wojownika.
„Więc poza moją rodziną, Tak naprawdę nie miałem wielu byłych bojowników, do których mógłbym odebrać telefon i zadzwonić. Więc po prostu staram się być dostępny, mieć mój telefon pod ręką, i znajdź czas tam, gdzie muszę (dla niektórych młodszych wojowników). Poinformują Cię, o czym muszą porozmawiać i o czym chcą rozmawiać. Jeśli mam odpowiedź, Na pewno dam im wszystko, co tylko mogę. Jeśli nie, Postaram się pomóc im to znaleźć, bo koniec końców, czy to Claressa [Tarcze] lub Shakur [Stevenson], Jestem za wojownikiem. Jestem zawodowym wojownikiem. Rozmawiamy o [szkolenie] rzeczy, ale też bardziej chodzi o życie - bycie stabilnym i podejmowanie właściwych decyzji teraz, a potem w przyszłości, cieszysz się, że zrobiłeś to, co musiałeś zrobić. To zaszczyt i przywilej być kimś, kogo którykolwiek z tych wojowników chciałby odebrać i zadzwonić. Nie patrzę na to jak na ciężar. To zaszczyt i przywilej ”.
Virgil Hunter - trener Andre Warda
„Mieliśmy dobry obóz. Mieliśmy bardzo gładki obóz, tak, jak byś chciał. Czasami nie zawsze może się tak potoczyć, ale tym razem mamy szczęście, że wszystko się klika. Dobrze jest zobaczyć Andre na siłowni po czterech walkach i zobaczyć, jak powraca i coraz bliżej tego, kim naprawdę jest - nie tylko jako wojownik i wojownik oraz osoba, która ma w sobie dużo psa, ale także bardzo utalentowanego pięściarz. Nie mogę się doczekaćCzerwiec 17 i pozwól Andre mówić wieczorem lewą i prawą ręką.
"[Andre jest] profesjonalistą i przeszedł przez to przez 24 lat swojego życia. Musisz zrozumieć, że kiedy był na olimpiadzie, nie było go ze mną przez trzy miesiące. Więc jest profesjonalistą. Wie, co robić. Najmniej martwię się, że wyjeżdżam z miasta na tydzień. To część sportu. To część gry. A kiedy masz profesjonalistę takiego jak Andre, wiesz, nie martwisz się o te rzeczy.
„Cóż, przeciwnik na pewno nie zobaczy tego samego wojownika w tej walce z wielu powodów. Nie ma potrzeby ujawniania, ale zawsze wchodzimy z kilkoma planami lub jakimkolwiek planem, który musi zostać wdrożony w dowolnym momencie. Oczywiście, Nie mam zamiaru prosić go o zrobienie czegokolwiek, o czym wiem, że nie może zrobić, nad czym nie pracował lub nie ćwiczył, ale mamy szczęście, że możemy się dostosować, a także dostosować. Wierzę, że to, nad czym pracowaliśmy w Planie A, będzie więcej niż wystarczające.
„Amator jest wtedy, gdy jesteś na najwyższym poziomie i walczysz na najwyższym poziomie. Bierzesz udział w turniejach krajowych i często widzisz przeciwników więcej niż raz i więcej niż dwa razy. W pewnym sensie, [Inny] miał powtórki. Jeśli chodzi o ten rewanż, wszystko, co mogę powiedzieć, to „och chłopcze”. To wszystko, co mogę powiedzieć.
„Podczas pierwszego meczu nie było żadnego strachu ani niepokoju. Nie możesz tego mieć. Oczywiście, jesteś świadomy tego, co przynosi przeciwnik. 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 funtów. Tak, he was giving up weight, height and size there. Tak, 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. Tak, 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 Czerwiec 17.
“My job is to be in that realistic moment. Wiem [Inny] 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 Czerwiec 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
"Oczywiście, 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.”

Unbeaten Super Lightweight Faces Mexico’s Jose Luis Rodriguez in Premier Boxing Champions on FS1 & FOX Deportes Action Niedziela,
Czerwiec 11 from The Pioneer Event Center in Lancaster, Kalifornia

LANCASTER, TAKIE JAK. (Czerwiec 8, 2017) – Unbeaten rising contender Mario Barrios shared his thoughts about his training camp and more as he nears a showdown against Mexico’s Jose Luis Rodriguez na Niedziela, Czerwiec 11 w Premier Boxing Mistrzów na FS1 i FOX Sports action live from The Pioneer Event Center in Lancaster, Kalifornia.
Zasięg zaczyna się w telewizji 10:30 p.m. I/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 Aaron Herrera oraz niepokonanego Jose Miguel Borrego will battle once-beaten Kevin Watts w super lekkiego ataku.
Bilety na wydarzenia na żywo, która jest promowana przez TGB Promocje, są w cenie $30 i są już w sprzedaży. To purchase tickets visit the Pioneer Event Center’s website: www.uavpec.com
Here is what Barrios had to say about training camp, his matchup and more:
On fighting Jose Luis Rodriguez:
“Niestety, 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, TAKIE JAK…
“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.”
