השוגר ריי לאונרד & DAVID DINKINS JR. MEDIA CONFERENCE CALL HIGHLIGHTS

“These are the type of fights that are going to bring boxing back to where it used to be.” – Sugar Ray Leonard

BOXING CHAMPIONSHIP SHOWTIME ב- CBS, מוגש על ידי אלופי פרמייר באגרוף,

Live in Primetime on CBS From Barclays Center in Brooklyn

NEW YORK (מרץ 1, 2017) – Boxing Hall of Famer and former undisputed welterweight world champion שוגר ריי לאונרד ו David Dinkins Jr., SHOWTIME Sports Senior Vice President and Executive Producer, hosted a media conference call ביום רביעי to discuss Leonard joining the CBS broadcast team for יום שבת welterweight unification between undefeated champions Keith Thurman and Danny Garcia. סטיבן אספינוזה, Executive Vice President and General Manger, ספורט ואוטיים, began the call with some opening remarks.

 

The SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on CBS, מוגש על ידי אלופי פרמייר באגרוף, broadcast will air live on CBS from 9-11 p.m. ו/6-8 p.m. PT from Barclays Center in Brooklyn, the home of BROOKLYN BOXING™. The broadcast is presented by Premier Boxing Champions and produced by SHOWTIME Sports® for CBS Television, both divisions of the CBS Corporation.

 

Leonard will join the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING broadcast team ביום שבת alongside host בריאן קאסטר, play-by-play voice מאורו Ranallo, International Boxing Hall of Fame analyst אל ברנשטיין and Sports Emmy® Award-winning reporter ג'ים גריי.

 

A five-division titlist and one of the most decorated boxers of all-time, Leonard brings unique perspective to the broadcast booth having been in a similar situation to Thurman and Garcia more than 35 לפני שנים. גרסיה, the WBC 147-pound titleholder, and Thurman, his WBA counterpart, will unify the exact same titles that Leonard (WBC) and fellow Hall of Famer תומאס Hearns (WBA) unified in their classic 1981 מאבק של השנה.

 

Leonard made his professional boxing debut on CBS in 1977, less than one year after he won gold at the ‘76 Olympics in Montreal as part of what is considered the greatest American boxing team in Olympic history. The מרץ 4 event will reunite Leonard with former CBS producer and current SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING Executive Producer Dinkins Jr.

 

Below is what the principals said יום רביעי on the conference call:

 

השוגר ריי לאונרד

 

“I was telling David [Dinkins] היום, this is the perfect matchup. אני מתכוון, you have two incredible fighters, each one of them with their own style and confidence with Keith and Danny. What also raises an eye is the unification. That’s big time for any fighter. And if these fighters can live up to their expectations, I think it’s going to be a home run, without question.

 

“These are the type of fights that are going to bring boxing back to where it used to be. It’s going to require these type of fights, these type of individuals, these type of athletes, these type of potential super stars, to really change and make boxing what it used to be.”

 

On the importance of having these types of fights on network television and what it takes to bring the sport back to what it used to be…

“These two young men, these two champions, these undefeated fighters, they fit the mold. I talk to people all of the time about what fights they want to see and this is a fight that has star-quality to it.”

 

On the advantages of each fighter…

“I look at Keith, and I’ve been watching, over and over, tapes of his previous fight. שוב, each of them bring something to the table. קית 'תורמן, seems to me, a little more fundamentally sound than Danny Garcia. But Danny Garcia, has a neutralizer. One thing I think is a big factor for the actual fight itself, is that both guys are great champs and both of them could take punches. אז, אני לא יודע. Put it this way, I wouldn’t bet my house.

 

“I do favor Thurman because he just seems to be a little bit more poised and collected. He just seems to be that kind of guy. קודם כל, he would never give up. Nor would Danny. But I just lean… it’s just my gut that tells me that Keith is a little bit more solid than Danny.”

 

On Danny Garcia…

“He’s just a guy that has that internal fortitude. He has heart, big heart. And he doesn’t give in. I think he’s the kind of fighter, you know where people short-change him. But I look at him and he’s one of those fighters that, I don’t train – I never train at all – but he’s the kind of fighter that I would enjoy training. Because he deserves to be up there.”

 

On the importance of facing the best opponents possible

“That’s extremely important. למרבה המזל, I was in an era where there were just a lot of guys out there who were so talented. If given the chance they would prove to be champions.

 

I always thought that we had to continue to raise the bar as a fighter, as a champion, and continue to fight better and better competition. כשנלחמתי, I swear, I wanted to be the underdog -psychologically, spiritually and mentally, if I wasn’t challenged, if I wasn’t considered somewhat of an underdog, I couldn’t perform the way I normally would. It’s what would get me going.

 

“I have said this a number of times: This fight is going to be bigger and better than what we anticipate because of what is at stake.

 

“The advantage [בשבילי] was the television network exposure, without question. I loved that. It pumped me up because I loved the exposure. I loved the attention. I loved the fights and that’s what also helped me to be the fighter that I became.

 

On what it’s like being ringside and broadcasting a unification welterweight fight much like the fights and titles he’s fought for…

“It is an out-of-body experience. It’s déjà vu. Like holy, אני 60. It’s a kind of thing that is so special and it’s so rare of a unification it seems like. It speaks volumes to me as far as the significance of it. And these guys, Keith and Danny, they know it. They realize it.”

 

DAVID DINKINS JR.

 

“When we were discussing the upcoming Thurman-Garcia fight in our senior staff meeting, many of us longtime fight fans thought about Ray’s first fight with Thomas Hearns and the many parallels there with Danny Garcia and Keith Thurman. You have two undefeated fighters and two titlists who have been on a path toward each other since Danny moved up from being a unified champion at super lightweight and moved into the welterweight ranks and gained a world title at 147 קילו.

 

“Ray and Tommy were two stars who it just seemed inevitable that they would fight. We feel the same way about Keith and Danny. You have two undefeated champions and it’s inevitable that they would meet and declare who would be the No. 1 לוחם ב 147 קילו.

 

I’m so happy that Ray can join us for this telecast and he and I have discussed over the past few days the many similarities between his circumstance during the Golden Era of Boxing when he had rivals like [רוברטו] דוראן, Hearns and [Wilfred] Benitez at 147 קילו.

 

To make the situation even sweeter it reunites myself and Ray after we had worked together years ago at CBS. He along with Tim Ryan ו גיל קלנסי formed a very entertaining announce team. Ray was in and out of retirement at that point. So his full-time, part-time job up at CBS was terrific fun. We got to see some great fights and work together. And now he joins Mauro Ranallo and Al Bernstein, who is also a Hall of Famer just like Ray is, ringside this בשבת הקרובה. It’s just incredible great fortune that Ray was available to join us and be a significant contributor ביום שבת."

 

סטפן אספינוזה, סגן נשיא בכיר ומנהל כללי, ספורט ואוטיים

 

“SHOWTIME continues to deliver the strongest lineup of any network in boxing. We are delivering the biggest and most meaningful fights and delivering to the largest possible audience. With none on pay-per-view.

 

בשבת קרובה SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING will present the most anticipated fight of the year live on America’s most watched network, הלשכה המרכזית לסטטיסטיקה. Danny Garcia versus Keith Thurman is without question the best fighting the best. They are two undefeated champions with a combined record of 60 wins and zero losses and squaring off in the prime of their careers to determine who the top dog is in boxing’s marquee division.

 

SHOWTIME has really made it our mission to televise the top-rated champions against the top-rated challengers in boxing’s most compelling weight classes.

 

“The fans have taken note, and the momentum continues to rise. אדריאן ברונר ו אדריאן גרנדוס fought a close fight two weeks ago that was our most watched main event תוך שנתיים.

 

This is just the second primetime fight on CBS in nearly 40 years since Ali-Spinks in 1978. We are grateful to our colleagues at CBS who are helping to deliver this important event for boxing. It is critical that we put our best foot forward in a very hyper competitive television market, and that is certainly what we are doing יום שבת night on CBS.”

DUBLIN MAIN EVENTERS SOUND OFF AHEAD OF CAGE WARRIORS 81 TITLE CLASH

לשחרורו מיידי
יום רביעי, March 1st, 2017

Ireland’s Karl Moore and America’s Josh Clark will do battle for the vacant Cage Warriors light-heavyweight world title on Saturday night

לוחמי כלוב 81 will see a new light-heavyweight world champion crowned as Ireland’s Karl Moore takes on American TUF veteran Josh Clark in the main event at the 3Arena.

Moore heads a cast of Irish fighting talent looking to claim victory on home turf this weekend, and says he’s ready to step up and deliver a performance to not only send the Irish fans home happy and capture the light-heavyweight title last held by current UFC middleweight world champion Michael Bisping.

“I’m honoured to be able to fight for such a prestigious belt,” said Irish challenger Moore.

“The last guy who wore this went on to win the UFC belt as well. That’s what I plan to do also.

“I’ve been waiting for this opportunity all my life and no matter who Cage Warriors put in front of me, I’m going to steamroll over them.

“No one is going to take that belt from me in my own country and when I win it I will go on and conquer the world!"

Moore’s opponent Clark also told Cage Warriors he was excited for the opportunity to compete on the Emerald Isle this weekend.

“I can’t wait to fight Saturday night,” he enthused.

“I am willing to go through whatever to get my hand raised!

“I am going to find out how tough Karl Moore really is and I am going to leave with that belt!"

The light-heavyweight title fight tops a packed fight card as Cage Warriors makes its long-awaited return to Dublin this weekend.

FORMER CAGE WARRIORS COMMENTATOR JOHN GOODEN SHARES HIS IRISH FIGHT NIGHT MEMORIES AHEAD OF CAGE WARRIORS’ RETURN TO DUBLIN

לשחרורו מיידי
יום שלישי, February 28th, 2017

As we look forward to our long-awaited return to Dublin this weekend, the former voice of Cage Warriors remembers the raucous atmosphere of the Irish fight fans and recalls the moment he took a knee from a man who would go on to become the biggest star in the sport – קונור מקגרגור.

Before he started calling fights for the UFC, British play-by-play man John Gooden was the voice of Cage Warriors.

And nobody knows the passion of the Irish fight fans quite like John who, during the now-famous rise to prominence of Conor McGregor, ended up right in the thick of it with the legendary Irish fight fans during both of ‘The Notorious’ one’s Cage Warriors championship victories.

We chatted to Gooden at CW80 in London where he shared his memories of his Irish fight night experiences ahead of our return to Dublin this weekend for Cage Warriors 81.

I think my first taste was the Helix when Conor won his first world title,” he began.

I got injuredConor kneed me in the face! But I stayed here to live to tell the tale!

He jumped the fence. His fans were going absolutely bonkers, and I think if he didn’t go out, they were coming in. So strategically he did the right thing, although he sort of ran through me to get to them!

But Josh (עוֹלֶה רֶגֶל, Cage Warriors co-commentator) and I were covered in beer and it was just this melee of craziness. So that was really cool, because I can say I took a knee from Conor McGregorwhich he apologised for, כמו גם!

The Helix was an interesting venue. It was on different levels and the last time I was there the Irish were having mixed results. Then Conor came out and, as he does, rouses everyone and came away with the victory in the fashion that he did. That just put the capstone on the night and just made it celebratory.”

After that fight both McGregor and Gooden were UFC bound, where they would reunite in Dublin at the 3Arena for הלילה להילחם UFC: McGregor v Brandao, an event that has gone down in folklore as one of the most raucous in UFC history.

I’ve been over to Dublin twice (with the UFC) but the first time in 2014 – McGregor-Brandaoit’s gonna be difficult to top that,” Gooden smiled.

The fans were SO good. The Irish fighters went 100%. They won, they won, they won and the crowd loved it. They got behind every single one and it was just a big celebration.

Going back there, it was a sensory overload and I’m gonna take that to the grave with me.”

That event has been held up as the standard by which all fight night atmospheres are now judged, but there have been plenty of examples of the Irish fans’ passion since then, whether it’s at home for a host of different events, or on the road supporting their heroes overseas.

And on Saturday night the Irish fight fans have the opportunity to cheer on their boys on home soil once again at Cage Warriors 81. With a host of Irish fighting talent set for action, including Karl Moore bidding to capture the vacant Cage Warriors light-heavyweight title against American Josh Clark, we’re expecting another party atmosphere at the 3Arena.

כרטיסים זמינים דרך Ticketmaster.ie, priced €98, €38 and €24, with ticket holders also able to attend a special meet and greet session with our special guest fighters Neil Seery, Nicolas Dalby and the newly crowned Cage Warriors Welterweight Champion Karl Amoussou.

The bout will be televised live on eirSPORT 1 in Ireland, BT Sport in UK and Ireland, and streamed worldwide on UFC Fight Pass.

TOP SUPER FLYWEIGHT PROSPECT, DYLANTHE REAL DYLPRICE, SIGNS WITH MAYWEATHER PROMOTIONS

לאס וגאס, NV (מרץ 1, 2017) – Continuing their ongoing momentum, מבצעי Mayweather expands their roster with top super flyweight prospect, DylanThe Real Dyl” מחיר (1-0, 1 KO). Philadelphia-born, but now residing in Sicklerville, ניו ג'רזי, Price has his eyes set on becoming boxing’s next superstar!
Price hails from a deep boxing background. אביו, who manages boxers, had a short-lived pro-career, and his two brothers both boxed at the amateur level. Price hasn’t looked back since being introduced to the sport of boxing at nine-years-old. The 18-year old Price made an impressive pro-debut just a few weeks ago in North Carolina, which ended with an explosive 61 second KO against Malcolm Speight.
Price just missed the age mark to participate in the Olympic games; however turning pro was naturally the next best move for the up-and-coming young fighter. Price has amassed numerous accomplishments as an amateur including: 2009 שׁוּרָה רִאשׁוֹנָה, 2009 PAL הלאומי, 2012 ג 'וניור. כפפות זהב, 2013 Junior Olympic National ChampionshipPinweight Champion, 2013 Junior Olympic National ChampionshipMost Outstanding Male boxer, 2015 USA Youth Champion (voted outstanding boxer), 2015 PAL הלאומי, 2016 USA Youth Champion (נבחרת ארה"ב), and he won a gold medal at the U.S. Junior Open and Youth National Championships in Nevada.
Boxing is in my blood,” says Price. “I was conditioned for this before I could remember, now I must remain focused, stick to the plan, and allow my team [מבצעי Mayweather] to help me become the best fighter I can be.
Leonard Ellerbe welcomes the young fighter by saying, “We couldn’t be more pleased with Dylan Price. He’s young and exciting, and has all the necessary tools to become a successful fighter, now it’s up to us to bring it all together.

Mario Barrios Talks Move Up In Weight, Career, And More

BROOKLYN, ניו יורק (מרץ 1, 2017) In preparation for his upcoming fight בשבת קרובה at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, ניו יורק, undefeated super-lightweight prospect, מריו באריוס (17-0, 9 קוס) talks about moving up in weight, and the status of his career. Barrios will face Mexico’s Yardley Suarez (20-6, 11 קוס) בהתקף שמונה עגול, in only his second fight at super-lightweight.
How is the transition from super-featherweight to super-lightweight coming along?
With the move to super-lightweight, my body feels a lot stronger. I’m still growing, so making super-featherweight was just getting to difficult. לחימה ב 140 pounds seems to be the best option for me right now in my career. Eventually I’ll be moving up to welterweight at some point.
What can you tell us about your upcoming opponent, Yardley Suarez?
I don’t know much about him except that he’s a tough fighter from Mexico with a winning record. He’s a right hander who’s been in the ring with some good opposition. I know he’s coming to fight so I’m not taking him lightly.
Can you talk about fighting in New York at the Barclays Center?
This will be my second time fighting out there. The fans are great and it’s a beautiful venue. The Barclays Center seems to have taken over the Madison Square Garden as the new boxing arena. As a kid, you always dream of fighting in a major city like New York. I’m just glad I’m able to start building a fan base here. I’m excepting a live crowd to be in attendance with the Thurman vs. Garcia fight taking place in the main event, and that has me excited.
Talk about training with your new coach, וירג'יל האנטר, and what you like about him?
In addition to Virgil being a great motivator, he also brings a lot of knowledge and experience to the table. I’m soaking up all everything that he’s teaching me. One thing about Virgil, he’ll let you know exactly how he feels. I love that he’s a no-nonsense type of guy. We are working really good together and I’m happy that he’s in my corner.
Do you feel you need a few more fights at super-lightweight before you start fighting the contenders in the division?
This will only be my second fight at super-lightweight, so I feel after a few more bouts, I’ll be ready to step up to the top contenders. I’m still getting used to the weight change, but like I said, אני מרגיש חזק, and I’m getting comfortable.
