The fighters spoke to media Jeudi at the Dream Hotel Downtown in Manhattan. Voici ce que les participants avaient à dire:
LEO SANTA CRUZ
I’m glad that my whole family is here and I’m thankful to my whole team that got me ready for this opportunity.
I’m so happy to have my dad here. We thought about not taking this fight when he got the [cancer] diagnosis. He’s always been there with me since the beginning of my career. Since I was very small. When the doctors told me that he would be in my corner, I was even more ready for this fight.
I know that this is going to be an interesting fight. We’re both undefeated and we’re going to make it a war. Neither of us wants that first loss. We’re going to leave it all in the ring. This won’t be an easy fight. It’s a 50-50 lutte. The fighter who wants it the most will win the night.
I want boxing fans from every backgroundLatino people from everywhere – Mexicains, Dominicans, Puerto Ricansto come out and support me and come watch a great fight Samedi nuit.”
Carl Frampton
I’ve worked very hard in the gym and I feel strong at 126 livres. This new weight suits me and you will see the result in the ring.
Nothing can compare to this opportunity. People know me in Belfast, but Leo Santa Cruz is a three-weight world champion who gives me the opportunity to become more well known.
This fight sells itself. I respect all my opponents until I’m disrespected myself. I respect Leo because of his actions and because of the great fighter that he is.
I’m a different animal now at 126 livres. I was only performing at 70 ou 80 percent of what my capabilities were. I’m feeling strong and I’m a different fighter. This will be my best performance.
I’m honored to be on a bill with so many great fighters. There are four fights that could probably top a bill in their own right. I’m honored to be here and I’m going to get the victory Samedi nuit.”
Mikey GARCIA
It’s been a while since I’ve done this but I’m very excited to be back. I want to thank everyone who helped put this fight together.
Everybody has said it all. Nous sommes prêts. We’re prepared and we’ve had a great training camp. Rojas has the boxing skills to make this complicated.
I have better skills than any fighter put in front of me. This will be the beginning of the next stage of my career. The most memorable part of my career.
ELIO ROJAS
I’m very thankful for this opportunity. I’m really happy about being on this show. In this fight. I know I’m being brought in as an opponent, but I’m going to let the fans know that I’m not just an opponent.
I know who Mikey Garcia is. I have all the abilities to win on Juillet 30. I’ve always been a boxer who was never protected. I always prepare to win the fight and this will be no exception.
TONY HARRISON
I’m just excited to be back on a platform like this. I’m ready put in work. I know my opponent doesn’t speak much English, but I bet he speaks hands.
No disrespect to Ricky Hatton, because what he’s done for his country and for Rabchenko is amazing, but I don’t care about it at all. Seeing Ricky over there fuels me even more to get the win.
I just had a son, he’s three months old. He’s my new motivation. We’ve pushed it to the max in training camp. I’m ready to swim with the sharks. I’ve transitioned from a sprinter to a marathon runner. I’m ready to go into the later rounds.
I’m ready to put Detroit back on the map. One thing you know about Detroit, we’re about that action. Samedi, we’re coming for it.
SERGEY RABCHENKO
This is a very nice country and a great city for boxing. It’s my first time here and it’s very exciting. I’m going to give the fans a really good fight.
I know my opponent is a young, strong kid fighter and he will be ready. I want him to be ready so that we can give the fans a great show.
Paulie Malignaggi
I hear young guys like Tony Harrison and Tevin Farmer come up here and talk, it reminds me of my young days. The gym I train in down in Miami is full of young guys hungry to break through. That’s the feeling we all used to have in the gym. It starts to rub off on you when you hang around motivated people.
I need to have great motivation and that fire to return to the top level. I took a couple steps back after the Garcia fight and gradually stepped up. I think Gabe is another step up. He’s a hungry and motivated guy.
I know Gabriel Bracero, not only as a fighter, but I know his spirit. We came up together in the same generation of New York fighters.
It’s all love and respect. But this Brooklyn Belt, it looks pretty nice. This is staying here in Bensonhurst.
GABRIEL bracero
I want to thank Tommy Gallagher, my trainer. He always stood by my side and always believed in me. No matter what the critics said. It’s because of him that I’m standing here now.
I’ve made mistakes in life. I was away from this sport for a while. Boxing was always my dream though. I stayed focused so that I can come out and do what I’m doing now. Not too many people can bounce back from a situation like that.
Samedi is a big fight and I’m looking forward to it. I’m really thankful that Paulie gave me this opportunity. I always followed his career and his successes. It was a dream of mine to come out here and have the same success he had. I looked up to him.
To be here right now and to be able to fight Paulie is incredible. He’s giving me the opportunity to reach his level of success.
I encourage everyone to come out Samedi nuit. I’m going to leave my heart in the ring. That Brooklyn Belt is beautiful and I can’t wait to have it around my waist. This is business, not personal. You should get ready to see fireworks.
IVAN Redkach
I’m very thankful to be part of such a great event. I changed a lot about my training heading into this fight. I’ve trained with the great champion Leo Santa Cruz and it has me ready.
I want to show everyone in the ring what I can do, not up on the stage with my words.
TEVIN FARMER
I want to thank my training staff for preparing me for battle Samedi nuit. I’m thankful for this opportunity.
This is another chance to show the world who I am. I have about three years with no losses. I started boxing as a hobby. But when I realized how much talent I had, I started training right.
Since I started taking this sport seriously, I’ve been taking guys out easily. Ivan Redkach will get this work. It’s going to be easy.
I’m not about talk. A lot of people don’t know who I am, but everyone will know Samedi nuit.”
AMANDA SERRANO
To be here with these great fighters is an amazing opportunity. I’m very honored. I’m ready to fight and successfully defend my title.
I’m going to show all the critics and non-believers that female fighters have the talent and courage of the male fighters, and we’re here to stay. Come out Samedi night for a great show.
Barry McGuigan, Manager de Frampton, Ancien champion du monde & Hall of Famer
We’re delighted to be here in Manhattan for this potential Fight of the Year. The whole team that made this fight happen has been fantastic.
I just wanted to say that we’re thrilled that Jose Santa Cruz is back on his feet, every one of our families is affected by cancer.
This is a clash of styles that could make it a fight of the year. We have the utmost respect for Leo Santa Cruz, but we’re here to win and we will win.
DiBella LOU, Président de DiBella Entertainment
I think that this is the best card that I’ve ever been able to promote. This is the deepest boxing card from top to bottom that I’ve seen.
Barclays Center has become one of the homes for great boxing. It is the premier venue right now for boxing in this country. The Brooklyn Boxing program is something that Barclays Center is truly committed to.
If you’re from Brooklyn, then you want that Brooklyn Belt. It’s about carrying the mantle of being that guy from Brooklyn. That’s what both Paulie and Gabe are going to try to do.
The main event is one of the elite fights that can be made in the sport. These are two amazing fighters. The winner won’t just be a featherweight champion; the winner will have an argument for the pound-for-pound list.
STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Vice-président exécutif & Directeur Général, Sports Showtime
SHOWTIME has been bringing its viewers the best, most competitive fights of the year, et Samedi will be no exception.
The 154-pound division is the deepest and hottest in the sport. Tony Harrison and Rabchenko are looking to make their mark and get up to the next level of the division.
Having Mikey Garcia back is a treat. It’s a big positive for the sports of boxing. Elio Rojas is not just an opponent though. Il est dur, he is hungry and I expect this to be an amazing fight as well.
The main event is again the best versus the best. Two of the most aggressive fighters in any division. There’s nothing else to say about this fight other than that it will be all action. I think this fight could be better than Thurman vs. Porter.
We’re proudest of all to have the best versus the best. This is what boxing should be. You should be there if you can Samedinight and if not, watch on SHOWTIME, you will not be disappointed.
BRETT YORMARK, PDG de Brooklyn Sports & Divertissement
This is arguably the strongest card from top to bottom that we’ve had in Brooklyn since we’ve hosted fight cards. This will be a great follow-up to the incredible Thurman vs. Porter fight last fight. We expect another headlining fight that could be a leading contender for Fight of the Year. We are honored to welcome these two great competitors to Brooklyn. They are two of the most exciting fighters in the sport and we wish both of you the best Samedi.
Samedi card certainly has a Brooklyn flavor to it. It begins with Bensonhurst’s Paulie Malignaggi taking on Gabriel Bracero from Sunset Park with the Brooklyn’s World Championship on the line.
“Amanda Serrano, another Brooklynite, will be the first women ever to defend her title at Barclays Center. We look forward to seeing you in the ring Samedi nuit.”

YOUNG'S MMA A UN AVANTAGE SUR LE TERRAIN À DOMICILE EN AOÛT 5 AU BANGOR

Bangor, Maine (Juillet 28, 2016) – La délégation dévouée du MMA Young de Bangor apprécie généralement sa réputation de guerriers de la route dans les combats de la Nouvelle-Angleterre..

Lewiston est depuis longtemps établie comme la ville pivot de l'organisation, attirer les concurrents et les spectateurs dans les deux sens sur le Maine Turnpike. Les combattants et les fans de la vallée de la rivière Penobscot constatent que rester engagé pour ces cartes de combat quatre ou cinq fois par an nécessite un engagement plus grand que la plupart des autres..

Pour la deuxième fois seulement de son histoire, la promotion régionale amènera sa cage à Queen City. « NEF cadeaux: Dana White Lookin ’for a Fight" est prévu pour vendredi, Août 5 chez Cross Insurance Center.

Young's, la salle de gym située à quelques pâtés de maisons à 127 Rue Hammond, célébrera en présentant l'un de ses combattants dans quatre des huit combats professionnels prévus. Ryan Sanders testé au combat et ses nouveaux arrivants, Aaron Lacey, Josh Harvey et CJ Ewer sont tous prêts à tirer leur meilleur parti avec le soutien d'un rauque, foule partisane.

«C’est la partie la plus excitante pour moi, étant de Brewer. Je suis allé au lycée Brewer,”A dit Lacey. «C'était vraiment un énorme, tirage énorme pour moi, le voir en personne. Je suis allé aux combats lorsque NEF est venu au pavillon Darling’s Waterfront (Juillet 12, 2013) et tout ce que je pourrais penser c'est, 'Homme, Je veux faire ça. »C’est l’un de mes objectifs depuis longtemps.»

Ponceuses (10-7) combattra Derrick Kennington (11-7) dans un affrontement de poids légers rusés qui seront sur les attractions en vedette sur le registre.

Ses trois coéquipiers sont sortis victorieux de leur seul combat professionnel précédent.. Lacey va enfermer avec John Santos (3-3) de Derry, N.H., dans un combat poids plume. Harvey a rendez-vous chez poids plume. Aiguière, qui a remporté un combat amateur à la salle de concert en plein air de Bangor, sera testé par Ruben Redman (0-1) dans une ferraille poids welter.

Même avec de nombreux amis présents, les quatre hommes savent que c'est la présence du président de l'UFC White, qui a grandi à Hermon à proximité, qui pourraient avoir des ramifications de carrière.

"C'est une excellente opportunité. C'est génial de savoir que quelqu'un comme ça va être dans le bâtiment le soir du combat,”A dit Sanders. «Mais pour moi, c’est juste un autre combat. Je ne veux pas me laisser prendre par tout ça. Laissez-le simplement se dérouler.

White et ses cohortes Din Thomas et Matt Serra parcourent le pays à la recherche de talents MMA inconnus dans une émission de téléréalité diffusée sur la page YouTube de White ainsi que sur le service de vidéo en streaming basé sur un abonnement UFC Fight Pass.

Oui, les relations de l’entrepreneur dans le Maine sont bien documentées. White a également déjà apporté UFC Fight Night 47 à Bangor. Le pool de talents de Young soupçonne que le dernier événement est plus qu'un simple cas de White jetant un os à son port d'attache, cependant.

"Je suis reconnaissant qu'il l'ait amené ici. Je suis sûr qu’il a regardé un film de NEF pendant son temps libre. Il doit voir quelque chose dans NEF qu'il aime pour faire cela,”A dit Harvey. «Cela ne me rend pas plus nerveux. Je suis très heureux pour elle. Je vais essayer de mettre tout cela de côté et de me concentrer sur la tâche à accomplir. "

Sous la tutelle des copropriétaires Chris Young et Ernie Fitch, environ cinq ou six professionnels et une douzaine d'amateurs parcourent le gymnase dans un camp d'entraînement donné.

«Quatre d'entre nous se battent, cela montre simplement que nous sommes la meilleure salle de sport de la région. Trois d'entre nous sont invaincus. Nous produisons des crampons. Les gens le voient et veulent s'entraîner avec les meilleurs gars possible,”A dit Sanders. «Nous nous poussons définitivement. Vous avez des mecs qui vous botter le cul tous les jours. Nous voulons le meilleur l'un pour l'autre. C’est pourquoi nous sommes ici. »

Harvey s'attend à ce que les chiffres et l'engagement augmentent après la visite de White. Il s'entraîne chez Young depuis trois ans. Le siège latéral de la cage au bord de l'eau l'a inspiré à intensifier son propre programme d'entraînement. C’est un avantage intrinsèque, Harvey a noté, qui a appartenu presque exclusivement à Lewiston jusqu'à présent.

«C’est ce qui permet à la plupart des gens de démarrer. Ils vont voir les combats et ils veulent l'essayer,”A dit Harvey. "C’est pourquoi vous voyez des endroits comme Central Maine BJJ (Lewiston) et MMA de première classe (Topsham) grandir tellement. Les combats sont là, dans leur arrière-cour.

Lacey caractérise Young's comme «une salle de sport pleine de tueurs».

Les statistiques soulignent le point de Lacey. Les trois pros aux records sans tache ont tous remporté leurs débuts dans deux minutes ou moins.

«Ryan n'a pris une décision que je pense qu'une seule fois dans sa carrière. C'est un finisseur. Josh a gagné son combat par soumission au premier tour. CJ est super fort,”A dit Lacey. «Ils me mettent au défi d'être le meilleur que je peux être chaque jour. Ils me permettent de rester concentré non seulement dans la salle de sport, mais dans le jeu de la vie en dehors de la cage. »

Bien qu'il soit confronté à un adversaire avec une expérience nettement plus grande, Lacey s'attend à une poussée d'adrénaline utile d'avoir autant de visages familiers dans son dos.

"C'est différent. J'ai combattu je pense sept fois à Lewiston entre les combats amateurs et mes débuts professionnels,"Il a dit. «Cela me donne une chance d'être dans ma zone de confort. Et beaucoup de mes fans ne peuvent pas y arriver. Au moment où vous figurez dans le voyage, le prix des billets, peut-être passer la nuit, ils ne peuvent tout simplement pas le faire. »

Harvey était d'accord, soulignant que c'est le combat initial pour lequel il n'a pas eu besoin de faire sa valise.

«Ce sera la première fois que je dors dans mon propre lit la nuit avant un combat. Je pense que c'est un énorme avantage,”A dit Harvey. "Certaines personnes pourraient penser qu'avec plus de vos fans là-bas, il y a plus de pression, mais je pense que cela vous édifie. "

« NEF, Dana White Presents: Vous cherchez un combat » a lieu sur Vendredi, Août 5, 2016 au Centre Croix-Assurance à Bangor, Maine. Les billets sont en vente dès maintenant à www.CrossInsuranceCenter.avec ou en appelant le box-office à 800.745.3000.

Vadim Finkelchtein: “The Emelianenko-Maldonado situation is getting ridiculous

MONTE CARLO, Monaco(Juillet 28, 2016)- Association mondiale MMA (WMMAA) Vadim Finkelchtein has gone public to explain the recent WMMAA decision regarding Team Maldonado’s appeal, which resulted in the change of the official Fedor EmelianenkoFabio Maldonado fight result to a draw, in addition to terminating its Head of Judges, Radmir Gabdullin.

WMMAA president Vadim Finkelchtein
Vadim, talk us through the appeal process. Why did you accept it in the first place since Russian MMA Union rejected Maldonado manager’s appeal?
VF: “Everyone could see what was going on in the media and MMA community after the bout. Being the founder of both the Russian MMA Union and World MMA Association, I received tons of messages and calls from people demanding an explanation about how it was possible for Russian MMA Union employees to officiate their own boss’ lutte. I read hundreds of negative comments disparaging the Russian MMA Union and WMMAA. Some even went so far to say it was about Russian Mafia doing business there, all Russian judges are bought, etc. I tried to stay away from this debacle, since the fight occurred in another promotion, but when Maldonado’s manager sent an appeal to the WMMAA, asking to reassess the fight outcome, we couldn’t say no. WMMAA’s reputation was on the line as well as that of the Russian MMA scene, aussi.”
What did the process of choosing the reassessment commission look like and why was head judge Radmir Gabdullin suspended?
VF: “Fondamentalement, I had to make Radmir, as the WMMAA’s head judge, responsible for the whole process. Cependant, since he was one of the reasons the appeal surfaced in the first place, the most logical decision was to suspend him temporarily and appoint WMMAA’s Secretary General (Alexander Engelhardt) to handle it.
In his recent interview, Radmir Gabdullin belittled the significance of WMMAA’s verdict, stating it was all unofficial and that he had never received any appeal.
VF: “There’s nothing to comment about here. It’s a pure lie. I don’t understand what he was trying to accomplish by saying something like this. If necessary, I can show the manager’s e-mail with Russian MMA Union employees, Kamil Gadzhiev and WMMAA employees as recipients. Saying he’s never received an appeal is absurd and a silly excuse.
At the same time he insulted the professionals that reassessed the fight by calling them incompetent.
VF: “When I read it my first reaction was vast disappointment. How could he, as the official head judge, state something like this towards his colleagues who he knows really well? He used to officiate multiple events with them. Their experience is ten or maybe even hundred times greater than Radmir’s. Marco Broersen has been officiating major European events, including KSW, M-1 Global and many others, pour 15 ans. He’d been working in this field when Radmir was still in school. It’s a shame for him to say something like that. It’s degrading for both Radmir and the Russian MMA Union.
Can you explain why 24-year-old Radmir had been chosen to become the head judge in both WMMAA and Russian MMA Union having no experience or appropriate education whatsoever?
VF: “Vous savez, it all started back in 2010-2011, when I decided to start developing amateur MMA in order to provide thousands of young athletes with career opportunities. For that to happen the MMA Union in Russia was necessary, as well as official recognition of Mixed Martial Arts as a sport. It was hard. I had no experience working in a Federation; plenty of paper work. We lacked a qualified staff when we started to look for people. I offered Fedor Emelianenko to be the Union president with me heading the WMMAA. Gabdullin’s name was mentioned by Fedor. He said there was this young and promising guy, let’s see what he can do. I agreed completely, although I realized he had neither experience nor knowledge.
What was your reaction to Kamil Gadzhiev’s comments claiming in each interview that a draw was the best outcome, but after the result was changed by Sherdog following the WMMAA’s verdict, he changed his mind and promised to call and mail Sherdog to protest its action?
VF: “I had a phone chat with Kamil. He made it clear that he trusts the WMMAA and Russian MMA Union, while repeating his personal opinion that the draw would be the most righteous decision. I don’t know why his words were not consequently supported by his deeds.
Russian MMA Union has a lot of officials. Encore, no one would comment on the situation, including Fedor himself. Pourquoi donc?
VF: “I can’t answer this question. Most important for me is justice and reputation and that holds for Russian MMA and WMMAA, trop. I couldn’t choose sides, which is the reason why an international commission of judges was created. No one tried to take the other man’s victory, as some have claimed in comments. As the WMMAA president, I feel ashamed the situation went that far. The vast majority of the leading MMA sites supported the WMMAA’s verdict; Sherdog changed the outcome. Another example is the Match TV poll result, in which 56-percent of Russian voters said Fedor didn’t win the fight. «Big’ John McCarthy said it. sergey Kharitonov,Alexey Oleinik and many others have said the same. People who have been cheering for Fedor for years realized that. And now we have one person stating the opposite, saying our decision is unofficial, that experienced judges have become incompetent in no time, and he’d never received an appeal. That’s a sad situation and we need to handle it appropriately. The world awaits sound and reasoned decisions but gets excuses and lies instead. Our reputation is on the line because of that.

As Leo Santa Cruz and Carl Frampton prepare to collide for one of the top spots in the featherweight division ce samedi, the undefeated fighters have plenty of motivation as they approach their marquee summer blockbuster.

After unifying the super bantamweight division, Frampton moved up to featherweight for his second fight in the U.S. And while the Irish sensation aims to become a two-division world champion, he’s also hoping to become a star in America and follow in the footsteps of his mentor, Hall of Famer Barry McGuigan.

Voici ce que les combattants avaient à dire Mercredi:
LEO SANTA CRUZ
I’m ready to come here and give a great fight. Je veux faire une guerre. Carl Frampton is a great fighter and he makes for an interesting fight. I’m excited to perform in front of the fans.
Carl is an undefeated fighter just like myself, so we’re both going to be hungry. We’re going to leave it all in the ring. Neither of us wants to lose and we’re going to give it our all.
My dad is going to be in my corner and that’s very important to me. We’re both excited to give the fans a great show. It’s a great relief to have him here and for many more years.
I think that this is the perfect time for this fight. We’re both undefeated and in the prime of our careers. It’s an easy fight to make and a really big fight that the fans will love.
I don’t think moving up in weight will affect Carl at all. He’s got a big frame and he’s a big guy. He is probably a little bit bigger than me. I know he had problems making 122 livres, but this should be easier for him.
I think he’s going to move and I’m going to have to be smart and not get caught. If I’m not feeling his punches, then we’re going to stand in front of him and exchange. I can also box with him if I need.
I know I’ll have to use my jab and follow up with the right. We have a game plan and backup plans. We’ll be ready for anything.
I think our styles are both very exciting. Je ne peux pas attendre pour Samedi nuit. This is the right fight. I’m hoping that both of us come forward and give the fans a show.
People think Frampton is the underdog because he’s moving up in weight. But I moved up in weight too. I never take an opponent lightly. I’m going to come really hungry. I respect every fighter and I train for my opponent to be at his best.
I have a lot of respect for Frampton. He has everything you need to be a great fighter. Excellent footwork, great power and good punches. Once he’s in the ring with me, I’m fighting for my future.
This could definitely be a career-defining fight. I think getting a win over Carl Frampton will get me to the next level. I think the winner of the fight will be considered one of the best fighters in the world.
JOSE SANTA CRUZ, Leo’s Father & Entraîneur
I’m really happy to be here. I’ve been at all of Leo’s fights and it’s great to be at this one. This is just another reason to be happy. I’m so thrilled for Leo that he has this opportunity and to be here for him.
I know Frampton is undefeated, but Leo comes very prepared. He has worked hard in camp, comme il le fait toujours. Hopefully both fighters give the fans a good fight on fight night.
Carl Frampton
It’s getting big this week. It’s real. I’m completely up for it. I’m excited to bring a big crowd over here and I’m going to do everything I can to have my hand raised.
This is a dream of mine. To come to America and box is something I’ve always wanted to do. Barclays Center is taking over as the best venue in New York and I’m going to look to put on a world-class performance. It will take my best to get this victory.
Obviously I have enough motivation on my own, but it would be nice to bring back the title that Barry (McGuigan) once owned. It feels a bit like destiny for me. It’s my turn to win it back for him. I’m doing this for my whole team. I’m doing this for my family and I’m doing this for my entire country.
I’ve dealt with fighting bigger guys throughout my whole career. I’m used to it. I’ve fought bigger guys than Santa Cruz. I think on fight night I’m going to be stronger. People forget that he started his career at bantamweight while I fought as a featherweight in the amateurs. Dans la nuit, I’ll be the bigger man and that will be the difference.
Leo seems like a nice guy and he’s very respectful. I’ve been respectful to him. He’s obviously a very good fighter. This is a world title fight, so I don’t think we need any extra words between the two of us. We’re both undefeated and we’re looking for a war.
The last time I was an underdog was 2009 during the Irish championships. I was a massive underdog and everyone who knew me won a lot of money that night.
Leo is a great fighter. He’s world class. Easily the toughest opponent that I’ve faced so far. But I think I’m Leo’s best opponent as well. I think this has all the ingredients to be a top quality fight. I’ve had a hard training camp and I’m ready to leave everything in the ring.
I’ve got a game plan. I’m not going to blink. We’re hoping that ‘game plan Awill work, but if not, I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve.
All the pressure is on Santa Cruz. Everyone is expecting him to win. I’m going to come in there and upset him. I’m here to put on a great performance and bring the belt back home.
I’ve gotten a good reception since coming to America and I think it will only grow on fight night. People will appreciate my style and I think our styles will gel well in the ring.
I’m feeling strong mentally and physically. I feel like my stamina level has increased with the new weight. I’m eating well and enjoying myself.
Barry McGuigan, Manager de Frampton, Ancien champion du monde & Hall of Famer
Being here is great. I never got a chance to fight here in New York. I’ve always known that Frampton would be a sensation over here. We’ve always wanted to be here on the east coast. We’ve worked very hard with the Irish community to get his name out there. It’s been fantastic.
This is a can’t miss fight. It can’t be a bad fight, no matter how you look at it. It’s going to be an exciting fight. It might start off tepid, but it’s going to develop into a phenomenal fight. The mesh of styles is going to make this a Fight of the Year candidate.
It was a wonderful experience being at the Empire State Building yesterday and it was our first opportunity to meet the Santa Cruz family. They’re wonderful people and Leo is an incredible fighter. He’s not arrogant and he’s the sort of guy that everybody likes. We admire Santa Cruz, but we believe that Carl is going to put on an amazing performance Samedi nuit.
What’s important is winning Samedi nuit. We put so much time and commitment to this game. You don’t want to do all that work and lose. Getting the win is vital.
Mikey GARCIA
I don’t feel any pressure at all. Me, it’s just another day at the office. I have faith in my abilities and confidence in what I can do as a boxer. Je suis très heureux d'être de retour. I’m going to go in there and take care of business like I always do.
The New York fans have always showed me a lot of love and support. Peu importe ce que, they’re in for a good boxing match. The fans are great and they want a great fight. I never look to make a boring fight. I always want to put on a show. I want to give the fans something to talk about.
I’m more motivated than I ever have been before. It’s been a long time of working hard in the gym every day.
I’m very happy to be back and I want to accomplish a lot more. I think you’re going to see a better Mikey Samedi. My will to win is higher than it’s ever been.
Being on a card like this is a reminder of everything that I can be. If there is interest in me right now, it shows that someone believes in me. We put everything else aside and focused on this date. Après cela, I’m looking for a world title.
ROBERT GARCIA, Mikey’s Brother & Entraîneur
I think that Mikey is going to put on a great performance. Anything could happen in boxing. Mikey should look good and he should win convincingly.
I think the interest that people have in Mikey’s future shows how much potential he has. He’s a guy who could be a big name to help carry the sport.
We haven’t been listening to anything outside of the camp. We stopped any conversations outside of training to get 100 percent focused on this fight. We’re looking to come back stronger than ever.
ELIO ROJAS
We’re both coming off of long layoffs. I see the fight pretty even. Garcia might have some advantages of being the bigger guy but I’m not worried about that.
The new weight feels good. It’s different but it’s nice to not have to kill the body to make weight. We’ve been on weight for two weeks. I’ve brought some power with me as I go up in weight. Je me sens fort.
I’ve been doing everything right in training camp. My specialty is moving my hands and excellent footwork.
I feel like I can beat Mikey Garcia. I have some things that I think will give Mikey Garcia a lot of trouble. I have the tools. We know that Mikey is the favorite. Everyone thought LeBron James was going to lose in the Finals when he was down 3-1, but this is a sport and anything can happen.
TONY HARRISON
I take this sport seriously. Everything I do, Je fais 100 pour cent. I’m here for the city of Detroit. The city needs something to rejuvenate and that’s what I’m trying to do. I want to bring big-time boxing back to Detroit.
This is going to be a fan-friendly fight. This is going to be like Thurman vs. Porter. The styles are just perfect for this fight. I’m going to be at my best on fight night.
Being here in New York is great. I can tell right away that it’s a great fight atmosphere and I love it.
It was a very long camp. I’m in great shape and ready mentally. I have a lot to prove in this fight and I’m excited to get in there.
I watched a 15-second clip of him and then I shut the video off. I don’t want to make adjustments off of him, I want him to adjust to me. I know that he’s a tough competitor. You can’t take anything away from his record.
“Je prends l'un combat à la fois. I just want to get the respect that I deserve. That’s what I’m coming for. They call me for a fight and I say yes.
I think I’m at my best right now. I’m starting to peak. I’m starting to find my grown-man strength and my second wind in the ring. When I’m going in late rounds I feel comfortable.
Whoever wants to fight; they know I’m going to say yes. I just want to compete. I’m fighting for my city and I want to see where I’m at. I’m ready to carry the load for Detroit boxing. I wouldn’t want to be from anywhere else.
My team is definitely the strongest it’s ever been. I’m in a really good place mentally right now. I think I’m going to show a whole new level Samedi nuit.”
SERGEY RABCHENKO
It’s the most important fight of my life. I think it’s a very interesting fight, with it being my first time in America. I’ve enjoyed it a lot so far. New York never sleeps. There are always many different kinds of people. It’s a nice city.
Having Ricky Hatton as my trainer helps me because of his great experience. He’s been in many big fights and he’s a great trainer. I’m very comfortable working with him.
I am aiming for a knockout, but I’m ready for 12 tours. It’s boxing though, so anything can happen. It could be over very quickly.
This is a big chance in my life. It’s a big step and I’m ready to take advantage of it.
RICKY HATTON, Rabchenko’s Trainer
This isn’t exactly like fighting, but I do get very nervous and tense in the corner. I’ve fulfilled my dreams and now I’m here trying to help other fighters fulfill their dreams. I get nervous but I’m confident in him.
Sergey has been a pleasure to train. I think he’s going to be a world champion. I really do. He’s been a European Champion and he’s overcome his loss. I think this is the best he’s ever been. We’ll hope that it translates to Samedi night because he certainly has the potential to be a world champion.
I can’t train fighters that I’m not fond of. I’ve known Sergey for a number of years and I’m here for him. I have a feel for being in the corner with him. There is a different type of nerves I have being in the corner.
Paulie Malignaggi
I hope the crowd enjoys this fight. I really want to put on a show for the local fans and represent for my home.
It would normally be strange to fight a guy I know so well. But I know he’s a competitor. I’ve known his mentality since the amateurs. Il vient de gagner. Once the bell rings, this guy isn’t taking any prisoners. I trained with that same mentality.
I know we’re both competitors. Who wants the bragging rights Samedi nuit?
Hopefully we can bring some fans of ours to the building Samedi night and they can become fans of Santa Cruz and Frampton.
This is a great crossroads fight. I trained for the competitor that I know he is and I’m ready to put on a show.
This fight gives me an opportunity to keep dreaming in that ring. I have an opportunity to do some things that people don’t think I’m able to, but I feel like I still can. I’m going to put my skills to good use and accomplish what I’m set out to do.
It’s not about impressing myself, it’s about getting the job done to the best of my abilities. I want to prove to people that I still have more left than they think.
GABRIEL bracero
This is all business. Paulie is a friend now and he’ll be a friend after. But I’m trying to make it to Paulie’s level. He is successful and I’m trying to do the same thing. Boxing is my outlet to reach those goals.
There was a time when I was away in prison. I would receive boxing magazines in the mail and see Paulie there and on TV. I wanted to be Paulie’s competition and have his success. By him giving me this opportunity I can accomplish that. I’m thankful but I’m taking him down.
I don’t want to sound overconfident. You’re going to see a chess match. Paulie is a boxer. When he makes a mistake, I’m going to capitalize on it. The rest will be a surprise.
This is the biggest fight of my career. If I beat Paulie, my career will jump to the next level. I can get the big fights that I’m looking for. I’m never looking past Paulie and I’m focused on the task at hand.

Greg Cohen Promotions Signs Streaking Bantamweight Contender Elton Dharry to a Promotional Contract

Greg Cohen Promotions proudly announces the signing of IBF #14-rated bantamweight Elton Dharry to a promotional contract.
Dharry (20-5-1, 13 KOs) got off to a slow start in his career, losing five times and drawing once in his first nine. Cependant, since then, he is undefeated in 17 consecutive fights, dating all the way back to 2010.
Pendant ce temps,, 30-year-old Dharry has picked up the WBC Caribbean Boxing Federation (CABOFE) and Guyanese Bantamweight Championships, as well as the IBF Inter-Continental Bantamweight title from then 12-1-1 Jose Rios.
Early on in my career, I was not really with the right team and the judges never really got it right, so it made me look like a fighter I’m not,” explained Dharry of his slow start. “I know most people would quit and walk away, but I had the self-belief and determination to come back and become something. I changed my team to (formateurs) Martin Gonzales and Don Saxby and stopped taking short notice fights.
The streaking Dharry says he feels good about coming aboard the ever-expanding GCP stable of champions and contenders.
I feel good about it. I’ve known Greg Cohen for a while now and I feel like he’s going to get me the right fights to get me where I need to be and get me the world title shot I want. I’m very excited because I know he’ll get things going soon.
Of Indian descent, but born in Guyana, Dharry and his family moved to Brooklyn in 1999, where he started boxing at age 11 after getting into several fights at school. Comme un amateur, he fought in the US Nationals, the Metro finals, and the Olympic box-offs before turning pro in late 2004. He now fights out of the famous Gleason’s Gym in Brooklyn.
I set a goal for myself many years ago,” continued Dharry. “My goal is to be world champion and I’m sticking to it. My belief is I can accomplish this, especially with my new promoter making it happen for me.
Dharry says he’d particularly like to face WBA Champ Rau’shee Warren, or IBF boss Lee Haskins, but will take on anyone Cohen puts in front of him.
I’m a counter puncher but I like to adapt to whoever I’m facing and whatever they bring. I box if I need to and fight if I need to. I’ll trade shots if I have to as well. I have the determination it takes to do anything.

Australian Top Heavyweight and Uncrowned Champion Lucas Browne Volunteers for WBC Clean Boxing Program

Former WBA World Heavyweight Champion Lucas Big DaddyBrowne of Australia is upping the ante in his quest to clear his name and regain his championship by voluntarily enrolling in the WBC’s Clean Boxing Program.
The hard-punching Browne (24-0, 21 KOs) stopped Uzbekistan’s Ruslan Chagaev in round 10 last March in Grozny, Russie, to become Australia’s first-ever heavyweight champion. The dramatic victory, cependant, was nullified and Browne’s championship was stripped away and returned to Chagaev, d'après-combat, after he reportedly tested positive for the banned substance Clenbuterol.
Browne, who tested completely clean in a random drug test by VADA six days before the fight against Chagaev, staunchly maintains his innocence of purposefully taking any banned substance ever, and says he is taking steps to ensure he is never again accused of cheating.
I’m proud to announce that I am now part of the Clean Boxing Program, which is being run by the WBC and VADA,” Saïd Browne. “By voluntarily enrolling in this program I am able to be randomly tested at any time, 365 days of the year.
Browne, who was the one who insisted that VADA perform drug testing before the Chagaev fight, says the decision to join the program was an easy one to make. “I have absolutely no issues with this, as I am a clean athlete and I believe boxing needs this kind of regulation. I welcome this aspect of safety for the sport of boxing. I despise all drugs, whether they be performance-enhancing or recreational.
Browne’s manager, Matt Clark, says that by becoming Australia’s first fighter to volunteer for the program, his fighter will hopefully start a trend.
Lucas is Australia’s premier boxer and resents drugs of any kind,” M. Clark. “We hope that other fighters from around the world join Lucas and sign up for the program. Anything that makes boxing safer is a good thing.
Browne and Clark say they are still fightingtooth and nailto clear his name and thank the public for the tremendous support they have received, à l'échelle mondiale.
Having always been a clean athlete, I am totally opposed to any form of doping,” Browne concluded. “I’ve always felt that cheaters in professional boxing should be banned for life. Avec 21 KOs in my 21 victoires, I’m of the same opinion as (current WBC World Heavyweight Champion) Deontay Wilder: If I was ever to use PED drugs, I might end up killing someone!”
