ERROL SPENCE JR.
“This is a great card with great fighters and its a fantastic opportunity. A lot of people think I’m a prospect on the verge of being a contender. Sábado night is going to be a great performance.
“I never thought fight week would come. I’m just so excited to put on a show. It’s going to be the best Errol Spence you’ve ever seen.
“I just need to stick with my game plan. The game plan that my coach laid out for me and do what I do and get the win.
“Pase lo que pase, happens. I’m going to have to feel it out in the first round. I just need to fight smart.
“I’ve always felt like I was ready for this level. Sábado noche, I’m looking for a coming out party. My focus is 100 percent on this fight.
“I was ready two fights ago to fight for a title. After this fight we can talk about what’s next, pero ahora mismo, Chris Algieri is in front of me.
“Chris has been in a lot of hard fights. At the end of the day he’s a boxer and so am I. It’s going to be a war.”
CHRIS ALGIERI
“Brooklyn has treated me very well. I’ve had some of my best performances here at Barclays Center and I look forward to another.
“It’s always an honor to share the stage with such illustrious guys in our sport. A lot of these guys really bring honor and respect to the business that we do.
“I don’t think I’ve gotten as much respect as I deserve throughout my career. No se porque, but it doesn’t really matter. At the end of the day I go out there and perform. More often then not I’m victorious.
“I think everyone knows that I’ll fight anybody. Spence is a guy people don’t want to fight, so they brought him to me.
“The best thing about working with John David Jackson is the confidence he gives me. He let’s me be who I am. He gives me the faith to trust in my abilities. I’m looking forward to putting on another great display with him in my corner.
“The hard work is done. Training camp was long, hard and grueling. Not much more to be said. Es hora de luchar. It’s going to be a great night of fights. “
Glowacki de KRZYSZTOF
“I’m so happy to be back in the United States and I’d like to thank my team for preparing me so well.

“I’m very happy to be healthy. Training camp went the way I wanted to and I feel 100 percent ready to get in the ring
“Tengo que ganar. That’s the most important thing. It’s nice to be fighting on such a great card, but all that matters is keeping my belt.
“Fans can expect to see beautiful boxing. It will be a war inside of the ring. Most importantly, Voy a ganar.
“A lot of things have changed since I won my world title. Nobody used to know me and now everyone knows me. I’m happy with my career so far. I don’t like to talk about the future of my career until after the fight.
“Steve Cunningham is not only a great fighter but a great human being, so I expect a tough fight. He wants to take the belt from me but it’s not going to be easy. I want everyone to come out for a great show en sábado.”
Steve Cunningham
“This is my first time fighting at Barclays Center and I’m very excited about that. Estoy listo para pelear. El campo de entrenamiento ha terminado. You know it’s grueling and hard work.
“I know I have a great opponent. He took the belt from the champion. He got up off the canvas so I can’t look at him lightly at all. But I’m here to do a job.
“I’m was sick of getting cheated and robbed of opportunities at the heavyweight division. I decided to come back down. It’s no problem. Three pounds or four pounds, no big deal. Here we are.
“We are coming to steal the show. I’d like to steal the show without me getting hit too much. A fight is a fight. You know I come to win, so we’re going to have some fun.
“There are some adjustments you have to make when you fight a southpaw. A guy throwing two gloves at you and you have to throw gloves back at him. Doesn’t matter if he fights me upside down, I have to fight smart and beat him regardless.
“There’s always something special with Naazim Richardson. He’s a great mind. One of the great trainers out there. We’ve always got something special prepared. We have to do what we have to do and that’s win.
“When you beat a guy like Marco Huck who was about to make history and you beat him like Glowacki beat him, you have to think he’s good and realize you can’t take Glowacki lightly. Es un guerrero. He’s a problem, something I’m going to have to deal with.
“I’m not 40-years-old yet. Give me a few more months! I don’t feel 39 o 40. Me siento muy bien. I just want to go in there and perform and do what I do.
“I’m not one of those predicting guys. I know things happen in the ring. But come Sábado noche, I want things to go my way. Sino, we’re able to evolve. Vamonos, it’s work time.”
MARCUS BROWNE
“We’ve done a lot of talking leading up into this fight. I want to talk with my hands. He said he’s ready to fight. Veremos en sábado noche.
“Me siento muy bien. Training camp has gone great. Right now the focus is to win and look good. Whatever happens after that is going to happen.
“I’m going to do what I do best and that’s take care of business no matter what.
“I’m ready for whatever he brings to the table. We will know that after the first minute of the first round.
“It’s an incredible honor to be representing my hometown. Fighting in front my home fans is always very motivating and I can’t wait to put on another show for them.
“People have said a lot about how this will be my toughest fight. I can’t listen to anything on the outside. I’m prepared to my fullest and we’ll see what he has en sábado noche.”
Radivoje Kalajdzic
“Estoy listo. I don’t have too much to say. Estoy listo para pelear.
“El campo de entrenamiento fue genial. We got a full eight weeks in. Roadwork, acondicionamiento, todo. Estoy listo para pelear.
“I want to introduce myself to the fans by knocking out Marcus Browne. If that doesn’t come, Quiero poner en una gran actuación. Being on the big stage doesn’t bother me, once the bell rings its just another day.
“I know Marcus is fast and has pop to him. I don’t want to give too much away.
“I’m a boxer puncher. I’ve got the power to knock a fighter out. Most of my knockouts have come in the first round.
“I feel like I came up the right way. I didn’t have that much amateur experience, but I stepped up to this big opportunity at the right time.”
HEATHER HARDY
“I’m expecting to face a good strong boxer en sábado noche. She’s coming down in weight to fight me, so don’t miss it.
“We changed a little bit during this training camp. I added another conditioning coach. A guy that has been putting me through torture three times a week.
“My opponent is strong, she has a good record, she’s from overseas. Sé que tengo mis manos llenas.
“It’s a real honor to fight at Barclays Center. I couldn’t ask for a better place. There’s nowhere in the world I’d rather fight than right here at home. As far as my career progressing, I’d like to be up there on stage and be on TV.
“No puedo esperar para pelear (contendiente invicto) Shelly Vicente. I think that will be the big breakthrough fight that let’s me establish who I am in this game and who I am for the bigger competition. That’s a perfect fight for TV. Fingers crossed.”
Lou DiBella, El presidente de DiBella Entertainment
“This great card features a fighter who is believed to be the top prospect in boxing, in Errol Spence Jr. versus New York’s own, a former world champion in Chris Algieri in what promises to be an exciting primetime main event.
“Marcus Browne has fought more times at Barclays Center than any other professional fighter. He has the chance to make the jump towards a world title by taking out another young undefeated fighter. ‘Hot Rod’ is not planning on letting that happen without serious resistance.
“Glowacki’s fight with Huck was one of the best of last year and he can expect the Polish fans in Brooklyn to be behind him en sábado noche.
“Steve Cunningham is one of the most respected fighters by his peers. Not just for his quality in the ring, but his quality as a family man and as a human being. He knows he’s fighting a great champion and I know he’s got a great game plan.”
JOE DEGUARDIA, Presidente de Star Boxing
“It’s a pleasure to be back in Brooklyn and to have Chris Algieri fighting at Barclays Center again. It’s very rewarding that he will be in the main event on national television on NBC. It’s a real testament to this fight.
“Chris has had some great performances at Barclays Center. He’s going to have another one in front of him en sábado. Spence Jr. is a challenge that Chris is looking forward to and one he has faced before.
“Everyone wrote him off when he faces Ruslan Provodnikov. We’re looking forward to Chris Algieri pulling off a surprise just like that en sábado noche.”
BRETT Yormark, CEO of Brooklyn Sports & Entretenimiento
“Barclays Center is thrilled to have Chris Algieri back for his fourth fight and we expect a great turnout from the Long Island fans who are looking forward to Sábado también. We’re also looking forward to a new name to headline Brooklyn and we welcome Errol Spence Jr.
“We welcome Marcus Browne back for your 11th fight and we thank you for calling Barclays Center home. Heather Hardy is also back at Barclays Center for the sixth time and we are thrilled to have all of them fighting in our building.
“It’s fitting that Sábado nights card features Chris Colbert and Earl Newman who got their start at Golden Gloves.
“Yo creo que 2016 will be our biggest year yet and we look forward to welcoming everybody back in the coming months.”

Esto es lo que los luchadores dijeron en Miércoles de conferencia de prensa final.
GARY RUSSELL JR.
(Sobre Patrick Hyland…)
“Primero y ante todo, Tengo que quitarme el sombrero ante él. Le oí decir que estaba siendo entrenado por su padre.. Mis hermanos menores y yo también somos entrenados por mi papá. Mi padre es mi superhéroe favorito, por lo que es muy difícil lidiar con una situación como esta y recuperarse y rechinar y poner todo el trabajo duro y el esfuerzo en ello después de todo el dolor y la pérdida., Tengo que quitarme el sombrero ante él por eso.
Sé que cada vez que tienes un luchador que entrena de seis a ocho semanas y no se prepara para nadie más que tú, es una pelea peligrosa. Él es alto, él es larga, pero podemos llevarlo. Vamos a manejarlo.”
(Al regresar de una lesión…)
“Me siento bien. Estoy listo; Pongo el trabajo en el gimnasio. Como he dicho antes, Me insultaron varias veces y, a veces, salí del gimnasio sintiéndome como el peor luchador de todos los tiempos.. Pero, ahora mismo, estamos listos y estamos preparados para invertir en mi capacidad.”
(Sobre lo que significa tener a su hermano Antonio en la cartelera que encabeza…)
“Significa mucho. Estoy deseando que llegue. De hecho, estoy más ansioso por ver a mi hermano competir que por mi propia pelea.. Definitivamente trabajaré en su esquina en esa pelea.. Significa mucho para nosotros poder pasar esta información de generación en generación y verla crecer y vernos construir como familia y como unidad.. Es asombroso.’
“Definitivamente tiene el potencial para ser el mejor. Él y Antuanne, quien esta ahora en el 2016 equipo olímpico. Es toda la información transmitida de generación en generación. Siento que definitivamente tienen la capacidad de ser mejores que yo.. Me gustaría que lo fueran de todos modos.”
(Sobre lo que necesita para ganar la pelea…)
“Necesito mantener el control de la pelea, cerrar la distancia y mantener el jab. Dominio completo; Quiero tocar el cuerpo temprano. Le gusta moverse mucho, así que vamos a reducir todo eso.”
(Sobre posibles oponentes futuros…)
“Si Dios quiere, todo va bien ven Abril 16, nos encantaría unirnos con Lee Selby. Si tuviera mi elección, Iría con Lee Selby primero para unificar. Inmediatamente después de eso, Quiero a Leo Santa Cruz y después necesito a Lomachenko.
“No me importa donde [Lomachenko] se mueve. Puede perder el próximo 10 peleas, pero antes de que termine mi carrera tiene que verme.”
PATRICK HYLAND
(Sobre lo que le da la sensación de satisfacción en el boxeo…)
“Luchar por el título del CMB es todo lo que he soñado desde que era niño y todo el trabajo duro que he realizado para llegar a esta posición para luchar por él.. Soy feliz y solo vivo por eso ahora Sábado noche.”
(Sobre ser el primer boxeador irlandés desde Barry McGuigan en ostentar un título mundial de peso pluma…)
“Es un torbellino y es genial. Solo soy un chico local de Johnstown en Dublín y pelearé en el gran escenario y pelearé por un título mundial importante., y nuevamente ser nombrado el segundo peso pluma en ganar un título mundial sería simplemente increíble; un verdadero sueño hecho realidad para mí.”
(Sobre Gary Russell…)
“Sé que tiene manos rápidas. Es un gran zurdo y un gran boxeador, así que tengo que hacer lo mejor que pueda. en sábado noche para eso. Trabajé en un plan de juego en el gimnasio para contrarrestar la velocidad de su mano y todo tiene que unirse en la noche de la pelea.. Puedo hacer todo esto y decir todo aquello, pero solo tengo que actuar en sábado noche y ponerlo haciendo todo lo que he trabajado para convertirme en campeón.”
JOSE PEDRAZA
(En el campo de entrenamiento…)
“Me siento muy bien, estamos en el último tramo de acondicionamiento. Fue un campo de entrenamiento muy largo e intenso, pero vimos mejoras en mis habilidades.. Llevo mucho tiempo esperando que llegue este día y le vamos a demostrar a Smith que soy un arma..
(Sobre Stephen Smith…)
“Smith es un muy buen boxeador, tiene muchas habilidades e inteligencia. Es un boxeador con muy buena defensa, pero ya utilizamos una variedad de estrategias para poder neutralizar todas sus habilidades.”
(Sobre lo que planea demostrar en sábado…)
“Con mis habilidades, tal como Sábado, Demostraré que estoy por encima de Smith y que estoy al nivel de lo que soy, un campeón. Total, Solo quiero montar un espectáculo y espero que la base de fans disfrute de esta gran tarjeta.”
(Sobre lo que aprendió al luchar contra Edner Cherry…)
“Aprendí lo que siempre he dicho y lo que siempre he hecho hasta el día de hoy., que nunca esta mirando. Nunca veo demasiados videos de mi oponente porque el día de la pelea podría ser un luchador completamente diferente y creo que eso fue lo que ocurrió entonces.. Aparte de eso, utilizó una gran estrategia.”
(Sobre sus pensamientos sobre otros boxeadores puertorriqueños…)
“En realidad soy un campeón mundial como Rocky Martinez; hay muchos prospectos puertorriqueños. Como [Felix] Verdejo, pero todavía no lo considero un aspirante al título mundial. No ha peleado con un boxeador de calibre de campeonato, pero actualmente se encuentra entre los mejores peleadores de Puerto Rico.”
(En otras peleas que le pueden interesar en 130 libra…)
“Siempre he dicho que entre menos puertorriqueños peleo, la mejor. Si es la ultima opcion, Pelearé con los puertorriqueños también pero aparte de ese Rocky [Martínez] el campeón mundial, ahí está Francisco Vargas, [Javier] Suerte, to name a few that are at the top of my list.”
STEPHEN SMITH
(On his first time fighting in the U.S….)
“Estoy emocionado. If you want to make a name in boxing, then you’re going to do it in the states and that’s what I plan on doing by becoming a world champion Saturday.”
(On what he knows about Pedraza…)
“Bien, not quite a lot. I know his name from the amateur days. He’s well established, he’s an Olympian and he’s a talented man. To fight somebody consists of winning or not, it goes beyond tactics, beyond style and beyond skillset really. Creo que tengo lo que se necesita para luchar contra cualquiera y nada me impedirá convertirme en campeón mundial.”
(On what he needs to do to get the victory…)
“It can be a different type of fight; we know he likes to switch it up and box from different stances. Obviamente, es talentoso, por lo que se necesitará un conjunto diferente de cada forma, pero sabemos qué esperar.. Revisé todo con mi entrenador Joe Gallagher y estamos listos para comenzar.”
(Sobre sus hermanos Liam y Callum siendo campeones y lo que podría significar potencialmente unirse a ellos…)
“Es especial. Hace dos semanas, Liam y Callum ganaron un título mundial europeo y eso me da confianza., el espíritu para caminar. Estoy en un lugar realmente bueno mentalmente y no podría sentirme mejor al hacerlo.. Después de que mi campo de entrenamiento fuera exitoso, simplemente te hace sentir mejor para convertirte en campeón mundial.”
(Sobre los campeones del Reino Unido en aumento el año pasado…)
“Hay mucha historia allí y para mí y mi familia., así que hacemos lo que siempre hemos querido hacer y queremos seguir avanzando.”
ENTRENADOR JOE GALLAGHER
(En el campo de entrenamiento…)
“Estuvo bien. Obviamente, se convirtió en la victoria de Callum. Hay un buen impulso. Callum y luego Stephen tiene su oportunidad de título mundial. Ha sido un ascenso lento y ardiente con Stephen, pero tiene, como yo lo llamo "su final de la Copa del Mundo’ — algo que va a tomar corazón y fuerza. Su fuerza va muy bien. Pedraza es muy buen luchador, buen ortodoxo, buen zurdo, él puede mezclarlo y estamos preparados para cualquier estilo que quiera traer en sábado.”
(Sobre el proceso de preparación para un luchador como Pedraza…)
“Es una pesadilla. Ya es bastante difícil cuando estás luchando contra un ortodoxo de calidad o un zurdo de calidad, de lo que es, but not only that. He can also box on the back foot and on the front foot so we’re varying sparring partners, we’re mixing up the sparring in between the rounds, switching stances, and whichever way Pedraza wants to fight at the end of the night, I’m sure we’ll have an answer for.”
(On how he feels the fight will play out…)
“I think that’s all up to Pedraza, looking back at a few of his fights, he boxes slow and gets off to a good start but then he seems to lose his way a little in rounds. When you watch him against [Andrey] Klimov, he started out very well, put him under manners very quickly and had him nearly beat by the fourth round but [Andrey] managed to stay in very well and boxed really well. He got to the middle rounds, lost his way a little bit, zurdo cambiado, así que de cualquier manera será fascinante. Solo tenemos que asegurarnos de que no nos pillen demasiado temprano cuando es rápido y agudo y está tratando de poner modales a Stephen Smith y luego llevarlo a aguas profundas como Edner Cherry.”
(Su predicción…)
“Stephen Smith. Posiblemente por nocaut. No, definitivamente por nocaut.”

“I’m looking forward and I’m excited to be making my 2016 debut in the boxing capitol of Las Vegas come May 21,” Said Lara. “I can’t wait to get in the ring as I have unfinished business to take care of with Vanes. I’m the champion and will remain the champion. I will leave no doubt who the better fighter is and will show the world that I’m the best fighter in the 154-pound division. I am dedicating this fight to a great man and boxing idol Gilberto Mendoza Sr. May he rest in peace and enjoy this display of master boxing from heaven, that I will put on for him when I step in the ring on fight night.”
“Erislandy Lara and I have unfinished business from our first fight,” Said Martirosyan. “I had him beat that night and I’ll beat him on May 21. My time is now and I know I will be the new champion of the world on Mayo 21.”
The 25-year-old Charlos are aiming for history against stiff opposition from a former champion in Trout and the Olympian from the Virgin Islands in Jackson.
“This will be a history-making, record-breaking night for the Charlo twins,” said Jermall Charlo. “It means everything to us to be able to fight in two championship fights on the same card. This is everything we’ve ever dreamed of. This is going to be a great night of boxing and I’m preparing myself for war. Austin Trout is a seasoned vet. He’s fought world champions and has beaten future Hall of Famer Miguel Cotto. This is one of my biggest fights to date, but I’m preparing the same way I always do. I’m going to be on my ‘A’ juego. I’m ready to make history.”
“I’m extremely excited and grateful for the opportunity to fight for the world title on Mayo 21,” dijo Trucha. “It’s a twice-in-a-lifetime chance for a second world title and I’m going to take full advantage of it. I’m working hard and have already been in training camp in D.C. and ready to take full advantage of the moment. I’ve sat at the champions’ table before and am ready to go back again and eat from it again. Destiny brought me here not to lose, pero para ganar. I’m going to show up and show out and this world title.”
“Esta es una gran pelea para mí,” said Jermell Charlo. “It’s my first opportunity to fight for a title and my brother is on the same card defending his belt. There has never been identical twin brothers that are both world champions in the same weight class. We’re going to go out there and make history and send a message to the whole division. I’m excited to get in the ring and I know John Jackson is too. This is an important time in my career and I will be well prepared. Let the best man win.”
“I’m very grateful for this opportunity to become a world champion,” dijo Jackson. “I’ve been training very hard for the last two months for this fight and come Mayo 21 I will be victorious over Jermell Charlo and realize my lifelong dream of becoming a world champion, like my dad, the great Julian Jackson.”
“This is yet another example of SHOWTIME Sports’ commitment to delivering the best lineup in boxing,” dijo Stephen Espinoza, Vicepresidente Ejecutivo & Gerente General, SHOWTIME Sports. “We’re featuring three important championship fights in one of boxing’s most intriguing young divisions – a tripleheader that will bring our 2016 tally of world title bouts to 14 – all free to SHOWTIME subscribers. We’re excited to offer this rare opportunity to see the top fighters in a division all on the same telecast.”
“Mayweather Promotions is thrilled to bring this fantastic tripleheader of super welterweight world champions to fight fans,” dijo Leonard Ellerbe, CEO de Mayweather Promotions. “The best of the 154-pound division will be on display on Mayo 21 and we expect an action-packed night of drama.”
“We’re very excited to work with SHOWTIME on this action-packed tripleheader,” dijo Tom Brown, de Promociones TGB. “Erislandy Lara and Vanes Martirosyan have a huge score to settle from their 2012 fin, and Jermall and Jermell Charlo are in high-stakes matchups against Austin Trout and John Jackson, respectivamente, in what promises to be a highly entertaining evening of boxing.”
El de 32 años Lara es un boxeador hábil con la capacidad de castigar mientras recibe muy poco a cambio. Lara suma victorias sobre Alfredo Angulo, Austin trucha, Ishe Smith and Freddy Hernandez. Como amateur, Lara ganó numerosos títulos, incluyendo un campeonato nacional en el peso welter, y también participó en la 2007 Juegos Panamericanos. El peleador originario de Guantánamo, Cuba dominated Delvin Rodriguez in June of last year and followed that up with a third-round stoppage of former champion Jan Zaveck.
Nacido en Armenia, pero luchando fuera de Glendale, Calif., Martirosyan representó al U.S. al 2004 Juegos Olímpicos. Como profesional, he won his first 32 fights before fighting Lara to a draw in 2012. The 29-year-old suffered a narrow defeat by split decision in his first world title shot against Demetrius Andrade, but has rebounded with solid victories over Mario Lozano, Willie Nelson and most recently Ishe Smith.
A newly crowned champion at 25-years-old, Charlo grabbed his title with a dominant third-round stoppage of Cornelius Bundrage in September 2015. Residiendo en Houston, Charlo construyó su hoja de vida en 2014 with dominant triumphs over Hector Munoz, Norberto Gonzale, Lenny Bottai and Michael Finney. En su salida más reciente, he successfully defended his title with a fourth-round stoppage of Wilky Campfort in November.
En 2004, Trucha won the U.S. Nacional Amateur de peso welter del campeonato y después de subir a las filas como un boxeador profesional de élite, ganó un campeonato mundial peso súper welter en 2011 al derrotar a Rigoberto Alvarez. He went on to make four successful defenses, including a career-best, dominant victory over Miguel Cotto in New York. He is currently on a four-fight win streak after knocking out Joey Hernandez in September to set up his world title opportunity.
Younger-by-one-minute than Jermall, Jermell Charlo is a highly ranked young fighter looking to get one step closer to a world title shot. Un luchador alto para su división, the 25-year-old earned his shot at a world title with victories over Gabriel Rosado, Charlie Ota and Mario Lozano in 2014 and Martirosyan and former world champion Joachim Alcine in 2015. He impressed last time out by disposing of Alcine in the sixth-round of their fight in Houston in October.
Since representing his native Virgin Islands in the 2008 Juegos Olímpicos, Jackson has put together an impressive pro career. El St. Thomas-born fighter won his initial 13 fights after making his debut in January 2009. The 27-year-old earned the No. 1 spot and the title shot with a shutout victory over Dennis Laurente in August. Jackson comes from a fighting family; his father Julian Jackson was a world champion and feared power-puncher while his brother, Julius, is a contender in the 168-pound weight class.

A continuación se muestra lo que los combatientes tenían que decir:

 

RUSLAN Provodnikov

“As soon as I heard the name John Molina, I jumped on it. Molina fights with the type of style that people want to see. He brings the action.

 

"Junio 11 is another Fight of the Year-type fight. Usted puede esperar fuegos artificiales.

 

“People expect action fights when I get in the ring. I appreciate that SHOWTIME saw a value in what I can offer and I want to make sure that I don’t let them down.

 

“I’ve only seen one fight of his, and that was the fight with (Lucas) Matthysse. That fight shows the type of fighter he is.

 

“I think our styles are going to clash. The reason people love this is because it’s unpredictable. Nobody knows what’s going to happen on Junio 11. Nobody can even predict which way it’s going to go. We’re both punchers, we both go forward, we both fight in a risky style. I think that’s going to make this fight a fight that everybody should watch.

 

“The fight is already a huge motivation, but the fact that the Hall of Fame is the same weekend is definitely great. I’m definitely pleased to know that because hopefully one day I can be a part of that.”

 

 

JUAN MOLINA JR.

 

“We’re never say die fighters. We come forward. It’s literally like two trains that are going to collide. It’s a can’t miss fight.

 

“He’s a hell of a fighter. He has a big heart and a big will.

 

"Ahora mismo, my only focus is – and I know it sounds generic – but my only focus is on Ruslan Provodnikov. He deserves my undivided attention right now because he’s that kind of fighter.

 

“I have to prepare for someone that has a never say die attitude. He’s like a virus that will never go away. He’s a hell of a fighter – he has a big heart and a big will. It’s tough to beat a guy that wants to win.

 

“We’re going to give the fans a treat, a Gatti-Ward type fight. I expect nothing less. We can have a phone booth, we don’t need a big ring.

 

“The judges probably don’t even need to be there because we’re going to decide the fight ourselves.”

 

Demetrius Andrade

 

“Willie Nelson, he’s going to come in and he’s going to try and throw those power shots. He’s going to try to stomp me down and make a statement, but I’ve been doing this for too long. I’m just ready to be where I need to be, where I deserve to be, and that’s on the top.

“I’m not worried about ring rust. I stayed in the gym like a true champion should. I’m still young in the game so I don’t think I should have any problems seeing or ducking any punches.

 

“I’m confident and I know I’m the best 154-pounder out there and this fight right here is going to let people know that I’m back in business.

 

“Everybody knows the work that I’ve put in. The time is now and the time is coming.

 

“I’m ready to re-introduce myself to boxing fans and show them I’m the best 154-pounder in the world.

 

“After this fight with Willie Nelson, I plan on fighting the winner of Jermell Charlo and John Jackson and getting that WBC belt. Y después de eso, I want to face the rest of the division and prove I’m the best.”

RUSSIA’S ZUBOV LIVING OUT HIS DREAMS FIGHTING FOR DETROIT’S KRONK GYM WHILE PREPARING FOR HIS SHOBOX: THE NEW GENERATION DEBUT THIS FRIDAY, Abril 15

Deja un comentario
BROOKLYN, Nueva York (Abril 12, 2016) – As a kid growing up in Magnitogorsk, Rusia,crucero Alexey Zubov heard stories about the fabled Kronk Gym and the late legendary trainer Emanuel Steward, but never thought he’d have a chance to join the team. But then one day, the former amateur champion was asked to come to Detroit to spar with Kronk’s Johnathon Banks … Y el resto es historia.
Este Viernes, Abril 15, the undefeated Zubov (10-0, 6 KOs) will face Mandilesti, Moldova’s Constantin Bejenaru (10-0, 4 KOs, WSB: 0-1-1) in the eight-round opener of an internationally televised ShoBox: La Nueva Generación live on SHOWTME (10 p.m. Y/PT, en diferido en la Costa Oeste) en el Turning Stone Resort Casino en Verona, Nueva York.
Presented by Salita Promotions in association with AASHA Record Breakers,the mainevent will featureIBF No. 10-gallo clasificado Nikolay Potapov (14-0, 6 KOs), de Podolsk, Rusia, teniendo en Stephon joven (14-0-2, 6 KOs), de St. Louis, Missouri in a 10-round bout. En el evento co-principal, eudy Bernardo (21-0, 15 KOs) of the Dominican Republic faces Albañil “Hard Rock Mighty” Menard (30-1-0, 22 KOs), of Rayne, Luisiana, en una batalla de ocho asaltos.

“I’ve been in Detroit for the last two months and I am so happy; I want to stay here, train here and live here,” said Zubov. “Every Russian fighter knows about Kronk Gym and Emanuel Steward.”
Zubov is currently winding down camp with his trainer and Steward’s nephew Javan “Azúcar” Hill at the resurgent Kronk Gym. “I like Javan’s style,” said Zubov, “and I’ve learned so much about hand speed and footwork and about using intelligence in the ring – how you need to think when you’re in a fight.”
“Alexey is able to learn a lot and absorb boxing knowledge easily,” dijo Hill. “He barely speaks English and yet he soaks it in. Es asombroso. I brought him in to spar with Banks and when we were training, Alexey just sat on the side and watched. Más tarde, he was sparring with Johnathon and I told him to stop. I said ‘listen here. I’m training Jonathon Banks and you’re doing everything I told him to do. What’s wrong with you?’ Then I laughed and said ‘I like that. Keep watching. I’ll teach you everything you want to know.’ “
Hill says this camp with Zubov was a transition for the fighter. “We are moving into the championship level where you train for a specific fighter. A lot of it is strategy and planning. The only thing I worry about is him being too excited. He’s very high-strung and wants to prove things. I have to control him and keep him from getting over-excited. That’s what we’ve been working on. He gets antsy when he’s excited.”
“Training was prefect. Yo soy 100 ciento listo,” said Zubov. “I know Bejenaru is a southpaw and he is a short guy with a good record. It’s my first time on SHOWTIME and I am so happy to be showing the world what I can do.”

we’re both center stage.” – Browne
BROOKLYN (Abril 12, 2016) – Undefeated rising stars Errol “La Verdad” Spence Jr. y “Señor” Marcus Brownestarted out as teammates on the 2012 U.S. Olympic team and will face the toughest tests of their careers when they enter the ring in primetime on Liga de Campeones de Boxeo en NBC Sábado, Abril 16 de Barclays Center en Brooklyn.
The rising welterweight Spence Jr. se enfrentará al ex campeón del mundo Chris Algieri in the main event while Browne kicks-off televised coverage at 8:30 p.m. Y/5:30 p.m. PT when he takes on unbeaten Radivoje “Hot Rod” Kalajdzic.

With the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio nearing the opening ceremonies, it is poetic that both Spence Jr. and Browne will have the opportunity to launch themselves into the upper echelon of the sport as a new generation of rising stars get set to test themselves against the best in the world at the Olympics.
Here is what the fighters had to say about their Olympic experiences, fighting on the same card, advice to the 2016 team and more:
On fighting in televised fights on the same card:
Errol Spence Jr.: “My pro debut was on the ‘Night of the Olympians’ and it had me, Terrell Gausha, Marcus Browne, and Rau’Shee Warren. These are the kind of nights we envisioned. It’s so great to see my friends and Olympic brothers doing as well as me.
Marcus Browne: “We always thought about nights like these where we’re both center stage. This couldn’t have happened if we didn’t keep our records clean and fought hard. To have gotten to this point alongside an Olympic teammate is an amazing thing. I look forward to both of us being propelled to the next level.”
On their favorite Olympic memories:
ES: “My favorite memory is competing and being around all of the great athletes. I got to meet Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Serena Williams and Michael Phelps. All of these athletes that I had seen on TV. Being in that atmosphere helped me realize that I am a great athlete amongst other great athletes.
MB: “It sounds materialistic, but all the free gear we got was amazing. Coming where I come from, I had never been given anything like that before. I was surprised at the adoration I was getting from people. Everyone just wanted to make us feel a part of this unbelievable event.
On how the Olympics prepared them for the pros:
ES: “The Olympic stage prepares you for anything. It’s the biggest tournament in the world. Having media day and talking to all of those outlets and then having to train, it prepares you for the professional ranks. When you get to the top, you’re going to have to do those exact same things.
MB: “Fighting in front of 10,000 people that are cheering against you will prepare you for anything in this sports. A lot of people don’t get that until they’re at the highest level. The atmosphere is just so intense and the Olympic fans are so passionate.
On the bond they share with their Olympic teammates:
ES: “All of us on the team have a great bond. Anytime you spend four months in camp with the same group of guys and you’re training and losing weight together, you become very close. It automatically creates a natural bond and connection. They are like brothers to me.
MB: “There is always going to be that bond of brotherhood regardless if you talk everyday or every three years. Spending every waking moment with these guys and singing the ‘Star Spangled Banner’ every morning, we build up a group bond and individual friendships that are so important to us.
On their impressions of the other:
ES: “Marcus was always the loud one in the Olympic training center. Marcus was always encouraging everyone to work hard and train harder. I want to be like Evander Holyfield. He and his Olympic teammates like Pernell Whitaker all held belts at the same time.
MB: “Errol and I are kind of opposites. Errol is more of a quiet and reserved guy. He works hard and runs like a gazelle. He fights hard and at the end of the day he is just a good dude. The plan is for all of us to be world champions and do great things.
On their advice to the 2016 U.S. equipo olímpico:
ES: “I would tell the 2016 team to just keep doing what they’re doing. Stay focused. Don’t get too big headed. Listen to your coaches and do everything you’ve been doing. The Olympics are right around the corner and we want to see medals in the men’s division this year.”
MB: “I just want to tell the team to make sure you get all the international experience you can get and fight hard for your country.”
