Mashantucket, Conn. (Huhtikuu. 17, 2016) – WBC Featherweight World Champion Gary Russell Jr. retained his title with a remarkable TKO of Irishman Patrick Hyland Lauantaion SHOWTIME from Fox Theater at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Conn. Vuonna yhteistyössä ominaisuus, Jose Pedraza defended his IBF Junior Lightweight title with a unanimous decision over Stephen Smith.

 

Illan event was a family affair with Russell Jr. working his brother Antonio’s corner during illan undercard and boxing’s Smith brothers, including current WBO Super Welterweight World Champion Liam Smith, cheering from the crowd.

 

A relentless Russell brought the main event to a quick halt by registering three knockdowns in the second round, the last of which forced referee Danny Schiavone to end the contest at 1:33. Ensimmäisestä Bell, Washington, D.C. native came out swinging with his trademark hand speed and dangerous power. Russell, vasuri, successfully broke down—and knocked out—Hyland with multiple vicious right hooks.

 

“We stuck to the game plan. We stayed sharp,” said Russell Jr., joka parantaa hänen ennätys 27 voittoa, one loss, 15 aihiot.

 

“I’m ready to fight anyone in the division – Santa Cruz, Lee Selby. We are ready. But what I really want is [Vasyl] Lomachenko. I don’t care if he moves up to 147 kiloa. I will go anywhere to get that fight,” Russell said.

 

“There aren’t many fighters who you instantly know are special,” said SHOWTIME Sports expert analyst Steve Farhood. “The combination of Gary Russell’s hand speed and accuracy instantly shows us that he’s special. That was plainly evident tänä iltana and at times his hand speed was frightening.”

 

Pedraza (22-0, 12 KOs) remained disciplined and came out victorious during his second IBF 130-pound world title defense. A combination of timing, hand speed and good defense allowed the Puerto Rican native to dominate the 12-round championship fight.

 

“This definitely was a tough fight but the training really came to advantage in this fight,” Pedraza told SHOWTIME Sports reporter Jim Gray. “I knew he was a tough fighter so I was always aware.”

 

“I had better focus tänä iltana. I had a better training camp,” said Pedraza, referring to his controversial split decision win over Edner Cherry two fights ago. “I knew that Stephen Smith was a great fighter and even after the knockdown, we were very cautious not to rush in.”

 

“Pedraza won tänä iltana with different weapons. Mostly right hands to the head,"Sanoi Farhood. “I had the fight even after eight rounds and once Pedraza dropped Smith in the ninth, he gained momentum that he never lost and he pulled away. It was an impressive performance but also an important one because it erased a lot of the negative criticism Pedraza received in his controversial win over Edner Cherry.”

 

Pedraza was the more accurate fighter, lasku 50 percent of his power punches over the 12-round bout. The Sniper was able to pick his spots and pocket rounds once he figured out the distance. Smith had his moments, but wasn’t active enough.

PATRICKY ‘PITBULL’ FREIRE EARNS SHUTOUT VICTORY IN BELLATOR’S HISTORIC, FIRST-EVER INTERNATIONAL EVENT

 

ALL OF ITALY GOES WILD FOR THEIR HERO ALESSIO SAKARA AFTER KNOCKOUT VICTORY

Luotto: Bellator MMA

TORINO, ITALIA. (Huhtikuu 15, 2016) – An electric, packed house was on hand Saturday night to bear witness to Bellator MMA’s inaugural international event, "Bellator 152: Pitbull vs. Souza," at Italy’s largest indoor arena, The Pala Alpitour. The venue, which housed several events during the 2006 Winter Olympic Games, provided an incredible atmosphere for the historic card.

Vuonna päätapahtuma ilta, Patricky "Pitbull" Freire (16-7) welcomed Kevin Souza (15-5) to Bellator MMA with a unanimous decision loss (30-27, 30-27, 30-27). The matchup between the two Brazillians was well contested, as Souza took the fight on short notice after replacing Derek Fieldsbecause of injury only a week ago. “Pitbull” spent much of the bout trying to figure out his opponent’s unorthodox style, but in the third and final round, “Pitbull” was able to score a couple solid shots and a takedown to cement his position on the scorecards.

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?

Few fighters can inspire a nation the way that Rome’s Alessio Sakara (18-11) had his Italian countrymen rooting for him tonight. The support paid off, as “Legionarius” got the better of Brian Rogers (12-9) in a slugfest for the ages. Crisp, precise, power-punches connected with Rogers putting him on the canvas, forcing the TKO stoppage at 2:29 of round two and making Sakai’s Bellator debut one to remember.

DIVISION ON LOCK? MCKEE’S GOT THE KEY

One of MMA’s hottest prospects, A.J. McKee (4-0) defeated Milan’s Danilo Belluardo (5-2) in front of his home crowd on Friday. Although the audience was raucous in support for Belluardo, they cheered with great appreciation for McKee’s performance and sportsmanship following his victory. During his fight against J.T. Donaldson at "Bellator 147: Thomson vs. Villaseca," McKee was cut above the eye, the sight of his own blood seemed to cause the 20-year-old to hit the turbo button. Similarly tonight, McKee was on the wrong side of an accidental low blow and after a short resting period, “Mercenary” came out swinging with a torrid pace, ultimately connecting with a left kick to the ribs of Belluardo that sent him falling to the mat. The referee gave him a moment to defend himself but McKee rained down an efficient flurry of ground and pound, earning the TKO at 2:44 of the very first frame. Sending a message to Scott Coker and the hyvin deep Bellator featherweight division that he means business, McKee said in his post-fight interview: “If you ain’t got the belt, I ain’t got my eye on you.”

A STAR IS BORN IN ANASTASIA YANKOVA

Anastasia Yankova (3-0) quickly fought her way into a full mount against Anjela Pink (0-1) and applied a slick armbar submission to hand Pink a loss in her professional debut at 1:35 aukon kierroksen. The young Russian striker has had the Italian fans clamoring to see her in action all week long, and had them on their feet celebrating her first-round victory. Yankova has now finished all of her professional MMA fights via submission and after the bout made it clear that she will be in action sooner, ennemmin kuin myöhemmin, “I promise to come back soon and have my second fight in Bellator, Yankova said. “It is really great to be a part of Bellator, I feel really happy.

HOMETOWN HEROES IMPRESS IN BELLATOR DEBUT

Two Italian competitors who regularly compete with Oktagon, Daniele Scatizzi (7-2) ja Daniele Miceli (2-1) kicked things off at "Bellator 152: Pitbull vs. Souza” with a fast paced featherweight scrap. Scatizzi was able to secure a dominant position on Miceli’s back, sinking his hooks in and raining down unanswered strikes, forcing referee “Big John” McCarthy to call a stop to the action at 3:20 of round one and declaring Rome’s Scatizzi victorious by TKO.

BROOKLYN (Huhtikuu 17, 2016) – Voittamaton nouseva keskipainoinen tähti Errol “Totuus” Spence Jr. (20-0, 17 KOs) meni korostetusti mahdollisuudesta kilpailijaan viidennen kierroksen pysäyttämisellä entinen maailmanmestari Chris Algieri (21-3, 8 KOs) päällä Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) päällä NBC Lauantai yö Barclays Centeristä Brooklynissa.
“Se tarkoitti paljon pysähdyksen saamista,” sanoi Spence Jr. “Tein jotain, mitä Manny Pacquiao ja Amir Khan eivät pystyneet tekemään. Tämä osoittaa missä olen keskipainopainoluokassa.”
Spence Jr. oli kaikin puolin ylivoimainen, kun hän otti taistelun hallintaansa alusta alkaen maailmanluokan korilla ja räjähtävällä nopeudella. Algierin odotettiin olevan merkittävä askel eteenpäin 2012 US-. Jumalainen, mutta ei kyennyt häiritsemään vastustajaansa laskeutumisesta huolimatta 31 prosenttia hänen lyönneistään Spence Jr. 30 prosenttia CompuBox-tilastoista.
“En voi ottaa mitään pois tältä nuorelta nälkäiseltä leijonalta,” Said Algieri. “Hän teki hienoa työtä. Harjoittelin todella kovaa tätä taistelua varten. Toivon, että ihmiset arvostavat minua ja kuinka kovaa työtä tein ja mitä toin taisteluun.”
“Totuus” hallitsee laskeutuminen 41 prosenttia voimastaan ​​lyö viiden kierroksen aikana ja hävisi vain yhden kierroksen kolmella tuomarilla’ tuloskortit. Spence Jr. lähetti Algierin ensimmäistä kertaa alas neljännellä kierroksella yhdistelmällä, jonka suoristi vasen käsi.
Algieri selviytyi kierroksesta, mutta Spence Jr.. oli päättänyt saada pysähdyksen ja hän liittyi toiseen suoraan vasemmalle, joka laittoi Algierin kankaalle viidennen kierroksen alussa.
“Se oli melko yksipuolinen, Tunsin,” sanoi Spence Jr. “Aloitin hitaasti. Hän sanoi, että hän aikoi viedä minut syville vesille, joten halusin vauhdittaa itseäni.”
“En vain pitänyt kiinni tyylistä ja strategiasta, kuten minun olisi pitänyt,” Said Algieri. “Meillä oli pari erilaista tyyliä, jotka aiomme näyttää hänelle, enkä koskaan pysynyt yhdessä tyylissä tarpeeksi kauan ollakseni tehokas.”
Spence Jr. näki hänen tilaisuutensa ja aloitti ilkeä hyökkäys yrittäessään lopettaa taistelun. Massiivinen vasen koukku liitettiin puhtaasti Algierin leukaan ja laittoi hänet kankaalle kolmannen ja viimeisen kerran, kun erotuomari Benjy Esteves heilutti ottelua :48 sekuntia viidenteen kierrokseen.
“Kaikki halusivat nähdä, mitä voisin tehdä todistettua taistelijaa vastaan, ja puhalsin hänet vedestä,” lisäsi Spence Jr.
Vuonna avaaminen bout televisiointi, Puolan tähti Krzysztof Glowacki (26-0, 16 KOs) lähetti entinen maailmanmestari Steve “US-standardiseulan” Cunningham (28-8-1, 13 KOs) neljä kertaa kankaalle matkalla yksimieliseen päätökseen säilyttää risteilijänsä maailmanmestaruus raakan puolalaisen raskaan väkijoukon edessä.
“Teho ja tarkkuus ovat tavaramerkkini,” sanoi Glowacki. “Se on aina ollut minun pelini. Olin hieman vastahakoinen leikkauksen takia, mutta sain mukavamman taistelun edetessä.”
Glowacki aloitti toimintansa aikaisin, kun hän teki ensimmäisen pudotuksensa vasemmalla kädellä, jolla hän käytti taistelun hallintaa, ja pudotti Cunninghamin toisen kerran pian sen jälkeen, kun entinen mestari nousi jaloilleen.
“Olen vain pettynyt,” Said Cunningham. “Tiesin, että minun piti vain työskennellä. Kulma käski minua käymään enemmän ruumiissa myöhemmillä kierroksilla. Olen ollut aikaisemmin alhaalla. Tiesin, että minun piti mennä tämän kaverin luokse.”
Etelä-tassu Walczista, Puola ja Philadelphian ortodoksiveteraani kokoontuivat useaan jännittävään vaihtoon, kun Cunningham pystyi laskemaan osuutensa oikeista käsistä, mutta useimmiten tapasi Glowackin vasemman vasemman..
“Suunnitelma oli alusta alkaen lyödä häntä vasemmalla kädellä ja voit sanoa, että lyön täydellä voimalla,” sanoi Glowacki. “En voinut lyödä kovaa Marco Huckia vastaan ​​loukkaantumiseni vuoksi, ja nyt toivon voivani pitää tämän voiman yllä seuraavassa taistelussa.”
Cunningham meni taas alas 10th kierros lyhyeltä oikealta kädeltä, mutta pystyi ralliin ja tainnuttamaan Glowackin isolla oikealla kädellä. Mestari toipui nopeasti, mutta Cunningham teki kiistatta parhaan työnsä taistelussa 11th kierros, kun hän hyökkäsi aggressiivisesti Glowackiin yhdistelmillä päähän ja vartaloon.
Ilotulitus jatkui viimeisellä kierroksella, kun vahva yhdistelmä toi Cunninghamin alas neljännen kerran taistelussa. Haastaja nousi jaloilleen ja hyökkäsi toisinaan tehokkaasti, mutta vasen käsi osoittautui liikaa.
“Hän löi minua ja sai minut tulemaan sisään,” Said Cunningham. “Tiesin toisen kierroksen pudotusten jälkeen, että minun piti saada kierrokset takaisin ja mennä hakemaan hänet. Hän on älykäs taistelija.”
Cunningham pystyi todella saamaan enemmän lyöntejä kuin Glowacki, kun hän liittyi 34 prosenttia verrattuna vain 25 prosenttia Glowackista. Kuitenkin pudotukset ja Glowackin tuotannon etu 462 kohteeseen 366 riitti hänelle säilyttämään tittelinsä pisteillä 116-108 ja 115-109 kahdesti.
“Fanit motivoivat minua koko taistelun ajan,” sanoi Glowacki. “Halusin vain antaa heille yhä enemmän. Haluan kiittää kaikkia, jotka tulivat katsomaan minua.”
Televisioitu kääntösaha 2012 US-. Jumalainen “Sir” Marcus Browne (18-0, 13 KOs) pysyi voittamattomana kapealla jakamispäätöksellä aiemmin voittamattomista Radivoje “Hot Rod” Kalajdzic (21-1, 14 KOs) kahdeksan kierroksen kevyessä raskaansarjassa.
“Jabbin perustaminen oli avain,” Said Browne. “Kerran tein sen, hän ei päässyt ohi. Hän sai minut parilla hyvällä laukauksella.”
Kalajdzic painotti, että tuomarit olivat väärässä päätöksessään.
“En näe kuinka hävisin,” sanoi Kalajdzic. “Olin hyökkääjä. Näytin sydämeni. Jos hänestä tuntuu voittaneen minut, anna minulle uusi ottelu.”
Southwow Browne pystyi torjumaan taistelun laskeutumalla 52 jabs 54 heitti Kalajdzic koko taistelun. Browne pystyi mustelmiin ja lopulta avasi leikkauksen Kalajdzicin vasemman silmän yli taistelun myöhässä.
Ensimmäisellä kierroksella, Browne hyvitettiin kiistanalaisella pudotuksella, koska toiston aikana kävi ilmi, että liukastuminen oli tapahtunut ja Browne osui Kaladjziciin pudotettuaan..
Kalajdzic oli tehokas lyönteillä koko taistelun aikana laskeutuessaan 36 prosenttia hänen voimastaan ​​lyö 29 prosenttia Brownesta. Hänen tehokkain hetki tuli kuudennella kierroksella, kun hän lähetti Brownen matolle oikealla kädellä.
“Hän tarttui minuun jollakin, joka laiduntaa minua,” Said Browne. “En edes tiennyt mikä se oli. Kävelin lyöntiin, mutta pystyin nousemaan siitä ja palaamaan rytmissä.”
“Hän ei tehnyt mitään, mikä häiritsi minua,” sanoi Kalajdzic. “Tein asiani. Minun olisi pitänyt kuunnella enemmän valmentajiani ja olisin pysäyttänyt hänet.”
Browne pystyi toipumaan kahdesta viimeisestä kierroksesta ja ansaitsi jaetun päätöksen pisteillä 76-74 joukkueelle Kalajdzic, 76-74 joukkueelle Browne ja 76-75 taas edelleen lyömättömälle Staten Islandin syntyperäiselle.
“Rakastan taistelua faneieni ja perheeni edessä. Peräsimme tämän ja se siirtyy seuraavaan,” lisäsi Browne.

VERONA, N.Y.. (Huhtikuu 15, 2016) – Undefeated bantamweight prospects Nikolay Potapov ja Stephon Young fought to a majority draw in theShoBox: New Generation Päätapahtuma Perjantai on SHOWTIME from Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, N.Y..

 

The bout was scored 96-94 Potapov and 95-95 kahdesti.

 

Potapov and Young were facing their toughest opponents in each other. Potapov (14-0-1, 6 KOs) controlled the pace early with his jab and was the more active fighter, throwing nearly double the punches that Young threw. Young picked up steam and gained confidence in the middle rounds and was at his best when he pressed the action and let his hands go. But the Russian Potapov, who had gone at least 10 rounds in his last six fights, was clearly more comfortable as the fight progressed.

 

After slowing in the seventh and eighth, Nuori (14-0-3, 6 KOs) found another gear in an impressive ninth, winning the penultimate round on all the judges’ scorecards. Mutta, even after urgent instructions from his corner, Young couldn’t carry the momentum into the 10th and lost the final round on all three scorecards.

 

“I am very unhappy with the decision. For every time he hit me, I hit him twice,” said Potapov, joka heitti 315 jabs compared to just 113 for Young. “I was the much busier fighter. I don’t know what fight the judges were watching. At the very most I lost four rounds.

 

“I’ve never had a draw before. I feel cheated from a win. I was very happy to be fighting in America but I now feel cheated.”

 

Taistelun jälkeen, St. Louis native Young was disappointed but knew that he needed to throw more punches.

 

“I feel like it was a good fight, but I should have got the decision,” Young said. “I hurt him every time I hit him. I let him be busier than me, but as far as the contact, I feel like I landed the more effective punches. That was my strategy.

 

“I should have come on a bit sooner. That was my plan, but I got a little relaxed in the fight. I came on in the ninth round when my coach told me to get him out of there.

 

“I most definitely want a rematch. I would like to do that again.”

Facing his toughest opponent to date, Menard floored (31-1, 23 KOs) Bernardo for the first time in his career with a series of rights near the end of the second round. The Dominican Bernardo beat the count and finished the round, but he had no answer for Menard’s power. Less than one minute into third, Menard connected with a huge right, knocking Bernardo (21-1, 15 KOs) out before he even hit the canvas.

 

“I made a statement tänä iltana. Not many people knew who I was going into this, but they know me now,” said Menard, who landed nearly 50 prosenttia valtaansa laukausta. “My speed, power and footwork were the difference.

 

“I said a prayer for him in the middle of the ring that he goes back to his family healthy.”

 

Bernardo, who was removed from the ring on a stretcher as a precautionary measure, was taken to nearby Oneida Healthcare where he was awake and responsive.

 

Vuonna avaaminen bout televisiointi, undefeated cruiserweightConstantin Bejenaru handed Alexey Zubov the first loss of his career in a convincing eight-round unanimous decision scored 77-74, 78-73 kahdesti.

 

Save for a flash seventh round knockdown, Bejenaru (11-0, 4 KOs) controlled the fight from the outset. The Moldova native overcame a four-inch height disadvantage, attacking from different angles and controlling the exchanges on the inside and outside. Zubov (10-1, 6 KOs) never got into rhythm and failed to capitalize on his reach advantage against the active and athletic southpaw.

 

“He was a good classical boxer, but he’s too straight up and he couldn’t adjust,” Bejenaru said. “It wasn’t as easy as it looked to beat him. I adjusted my style to do that because I knew it would make him hesitate. I knew if I just constantly attacked him he wouldn’t know what to do.”

 

Zubov and Bernardo are now the 146th ja 147th boxers to suffer their first pro loss on the prospect developmental series.

 

Perjantain three-fight telecast will re-air Tiistai at 10 p.m. JA/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME ON DEMAND beginning April 16

The Real People’s Champ: Melson making a major difference outside of the ring

New York, New York (Huhtikuu 15, 2016) – WBC USNBC junior middleweight champion Boyd “Rainmaker” Melson is remaining busy outside of the squared circle raising funds, speaking to various groups and helping multiple causes.
Viime kuussa, Melson spearheaded a fundraiser at SPiN NYC that netted $5,000. To help fundraising efforts, Melson literally let anybody who donated $50 or more at the event get in the ring with him for three minutes and throw punches at him. The funds were split 50/50 between Team Fight to Walk an BOXER INC. Melson recently joined the Board of Directors for BOXER INC. which is a NYC based nonprofit founded by Melson’s close friend and former amateur boxer Mustafa Abullah. BOXER INC. is a mentorship program through the use of boxing to help develop leadership, discipline and offer exercise to youth at inner-city schools in New York City. Academy Award Winner Susan Sarandon, a part owner of SPiN, helped promote the event on social media and personally expressed her interest in running a second fundraiser this fall.
Vähemmän kuin 24 hours after the SPiN event, Melson was a special guest speaker at the United Spinal Association Connecticut Chapter’s annual gala. The Connecticut Chapter honored Melson’s speaking at their gala by donating $2500 to Team Fight to Walk.
Tiistaina, Huhtikuu 12, Melson, a 2003 West Point grad, headed to the the army base of Fort Bragg, North Carolina. During his time at Fort Bragg, he spoke to Delta Company, 3rd Military Information Support Battalion (Airborne). This Battalion is a PSYOP (Psychological Operations) Battalion in the US Special Operations Command that directly supports the United States Army Special Forces. At the end of Melson’s speech to Delta Company, he was asked to return two more times this year.
This request involves Melson, an Army Reserve Captain himself, returning in July to deliver a speech to the entire 3rd Military Information Support Battalion followed by a speech to the United States Special Operations Command Care Coalition in the fall. The Care Coalition was formed to offer support to Armed Forces members that served in the Navy Seals, Delta Force, Special Forces, or Ranger Battalion, and were injured in combat now facing physical disabilities.
In the last few months, the “Rainmakerhas voluntarily offered his time addressing youth of all ages at multiple tri-state area elementary, middle and high schools as well as delivering a pre-game pep talk to the Johns Hopkins University Women’s Basketball Team prior to their game. Melson, upon invitation, attended the Jewish Youth Organization BBYO’s (B’nai B’rith) annual event in Baltimore. He was partnered with former NFL Quarterback Jay Fiedler as they both took turns sharing their individual journeys as Jewish professional athletes with a few hundred Jewish high school aged teens.
Four days after visiting Fort Bragg, Melson will be in Aston, Pennsylvania for a three day Spinal Cord Injury and Concussion forum. The event features a special exhibition hockey game featuring many former NHL players and other notables helping raise money for both of these physical challenges. The event is sponsored by Johnson&Johnson, a company Melson once worked for. During this event, Melson will speak on Spinal Cord Injuries and perform a ceremonial puck drop to kick the game off.
"The universe continues to conspire. When you follow what is in your heart with divine love, I believe that the universe submits. When this submission takes place allowing its elements to conspire, what is beating in your heart with divine love becomes a tangible space. I just have to keep moving forward with the same type of stamina I needed inside the ring. I can’t get tired. This fight has many rounds to it. Our FDA Approval to begin conducting this study is less than a year out- that round is almost here!

Ortiz and Berto will square-off in a rematch of their 2011 Fight of the Year in which Ortiz took home a victory as both men hit the canvas throughout the 12-round affair. Nyt, Ortiz is preparing for another big victory that could catapult him back to world title contention.
Here is what Ortiz had to say about Berto, training camp and more:
VICTOR ORTIZ
On his first bout against Berto:
I made a lot of mistakes that night but I did enough to get the victory. I always said if I ever got the rematch, I would end him and now I have the chance.
Berto had an off night. I wasn’t at my best either, but I destroyed him regardless. This time we’ll both be at our best.
Berto just talks and talks. When you have to hype yourself up just to think you have a chance, that’s on you. I don’t need to talk myself into thinking I’m going to win. I just know I’m going to win.
We’ve both had some wars since our first fight, but if you can’t back it up, you should just stop.
I had injuries heading into the last fight, but now you have two guys who are 100 prosentti. That is going to make for an even better fight this time around.
On the rematch with Berto:
Berto comes to fight. He comes for war and wont give up ever, but that makes two of us.
We have been through a lot in the last five years. He hates me. I have no hate in my heart, but I know it’s a sport. I’m not leaving that ring without a victory.
Berto wants to hurt me just as bad as I want to hurt him. I’m ready to go again. This is going to be a Fight of the Year for sure.
Anytime you have to convince yourself that you’re going to beat me. That you actually had a chance the first time, there’s a lot wrong with you.
It’s a sport. It’s not personal. Two guys going back and forth. I want to rip his head off and he wants to rip my head off. Its nothing personal. We can go get a burger after the fight.
He’s a heck of a fighter and a boxer and I am too. He’s had his fair share of wars. He’s had his fair share of injuries and I’ve had mine.
I would hate someone that took my undefeated record. So maybe he hates me, but I don’t hate him. Whatever his mindset is, Huhtikuu 30 is right around the corner and I’m ready.
On working with Coach JosephHossJanik & David Rodela:
Coach Hoss has always been there 100 prosentti. He has been in my corner about a decade and he knows the game better than a lot of the people I’ve worked with. Every fighter needs to find a ‘zenwith their coach and I have that with Coach Hoss.
I feel like this is the best fit for me. Hoss has been with me through it all, from being dropped, to the hospital and everything. He always says that this is just another way to make you stronger.
I also have coach David Rodela in my corner. We were once upon a time rivals and now we are closest of friends. It is a true ‘Grudge Matchright there. Now he just tortures me in training.
On his acting career:
At this point I have one focus. For the next three or four years I am going to be 100 percent focused on boxing.
I’ve had big celebrities and actors come up to me and say ‘you’re Victor Ortiz, can we take a picture?’ It’s mutual respect, but it’s also kind of crazy. I don’t overstep my boundaries.
I don’t watch the movie I’ve been in. That is too much. Some people like to see themselves on the screen, I’m not one of those people.
On his positive attitude:
I believe that if you’re a bad person, bad things happen. I’m a hard worker. I used to work construction and out in the fields. I never complained. Always smiled.
I wake up in the morning with a smile on my face. People take some things too seriously. Of course there are haters out there, but I don’t pay attention to any of that. I’ve found that a good positive attitude goes a long way.
It doesn’t matter what people say. What matters what I want, what I’m going to do. Huhtikuu 30is going to be the rebirth of me.
On what’s next after Huhtikuu 30:
I’m ready to fight for a world title. Especially after this victory that’s coming. This is for personal satisfaction. Berto has been talking for five years and I’m ready to go.
I took a different route, a different approach. Miksi? Because I wanted to try other things. Do I have to be here? Älä. I turned down two movies to be here. Boxing is my first and true love.
I’m ready to conquer the 147 ja 154 pound divisions and Andre Berto is standing in my way right now.
