Jen kion la batalantoj devis diri merkredo:

 

Deontay “La Bronza Bombisto” Pli #sova?a

 

This week has been fun. It’s been exciting. Even to see the people and faces. I’m looking forward to Saturday. It’s always the hard part when you have to wait. Especially when you’ve been training hard and it’s real intense. Everything has been great so far, and I’m glad it’s finally here. I’m looking forward to making history being that this is the first title fight in the state of Alabama. And I’m gonna put my name on it first.

Training camp has been just like any other camp. When I’m at camp, I’m always giving my all, 110 Procento. Because when it’s time to go battle, I gotta give 110 Procento. I have to perform better than I did the last time. But this is what I do. I love it and enjoy every moment it.

 

Molina’s height is something to watch out for. Everybody likes two tall guys in the ring. I’m definitely going to find out if his bark is as big as his bite. Right now his bark is loud. But we’ll see if his bite is as loud as his bark.

 

I don’t watch video or study my opponents because the way you may see them fight someone else is not the same way that they’re going to fight you. I let my people do that and break them down. I trust in believe in them, and I like the challenge as well. That’s another reason I don’t look at film. We’ll find out what he’s about on Saturday.

 

 

eric “Drummer Boy” Molina

 

Deontay is a very strong fighter,a big puncher and a big presence. But just as many strengths as he has, he also has weaknesses. We’re just trying to key in on those weaknesses.

I know this is a big fight for Alabama. I respect that and it’s an honor, but I’m also trying to make history. I plan on being the first Mexican-American Heavyweight World Champion.

 

My mental focus is on the heavyweight world title. When you expect to fight for the world title, you have to come into someone’s backyard and do what you have to put up with pressure. I can handle pressure.

 

I’ve accepted my role as the underdog. The whole world has written me off. I’ve embraced the role. I’m used to motivating myself. I’ve never been stronger, more focused. I’ve never been more physically, Mense, spiritually strong. I’m preta iri. I’m preta batali.

 

This is two big guys in the ring, and I can punch just like he can punch. It’s going to be a very exciting fight.

 

Jose “The SniperPedraza

 

This was a long, hard training camp. We began training for this shot in December. We have worked extremely hard and are ready to show the world on Saturday night.

 

We have seen video of Klimov and know what to expect on Saturday night. We will take it round by round and break him down.

 

We can box, or we can bang. Whatever Klimov brings to the table we will be ready for. I plan on using my boxing technique to control the pace, but if he wants to stand there toe-to-toe, we are fine with that as well.

 

It is important for me to look better than Crawford did in his victory over Klimov. I want to show the world that I am one of the best fighters in the entire sport.

Regarding the comparisons to fellow Puerto Rican Star Felix Verdejo – “Verdejo is a good fighter and a good guy, but Jose Pedraza will be the next world champion to represent the great country of Puerto Rico.

 

Andrey Klimov

 

This was a great camp. We worked very hard, and trained with a lot of different champions. I came out 100 percent mentally and physically ready to go.

 

I feel that the fight with Crawford actually worked to my advantage more than my disadvantage. I learned a lot in that fight and I will use that on Saturday night against Pedraza. What Pedraza brings to the table on Saturday night I will be ready for it. There will be no surprises on Saturday night, Mi estas preta.

 

I am very confident going into this fight. Pedraza is a tough opponent but I don’t think he is ready for what I am going to bring.

 

It is an honor to be here and fighting at this level. On Saturday night you will see a spectacular performance.

 

Ivan “El Terura” Redkach

 

This was the hardest training camp I have ever had. I have been training four hard months for this fight and I am in the best shape of my career.

 

Dejan is a very tough opponent. He comes forward and is very aggressive, but he is not as good as me. The world will see that come Saturday night. There is no doubt in my mind that I will be victorious.

 

This fight brings me one step closer to a world title shot, something I have been dreaming about my entire life, and there is no way he is going to stop me from achieving that. The fans are not going to want to miss this fight on Saturday night, because it’s going to be a war.

 

Dejan Zlaticanin

 

We had great sparring for this camp and it has helped us become the absolute best possible fighter we can be going into Saturday night.

 

I have no doubt and no fear. I am the better, more superior fighter.

 

This fight will not go to the final bell. I am going to knock Ivan Redkach out. There is no doubt in my mind.

 

The winner of this fight earns the shot to fight Jorge Linares for the world title, and that is exactly the fight I want. On Saturday night I will stop Redkach and earn the right to challenge for the world title.

 

It is very important for me to bring this victory back to Montenegro to all my fans and countrymen who are cheering me on.

Derrick Webster Confident of Victory Heading into July 17 ShoBox Battle with Arif Magomedov

Undefeated southpaw DerrickTake It to The BankWebster is not your typical fighter. He’s not your typical anything, vere. But with his enormous size, fast, powerful hands and wealth of athletic ability, he just might be something special.

Actor, model, business owner, singer, basketball player, college graduate and a 6′ 4″ natural at the sweet science, Glassboro, #Nov-?erzejo‘s Webster (19-0, 10KOs) now finds himself on the verge of possibly career-defining opportunity, as he will face also undefeated and highly touted ArifMayhem” Magomedov (15-0, 9 KOs) in a ShoBox quadrupleheader, scheduled for July 17 at the Sands Casino in Bethlehem, Pensilvanio.

It’s just another day at the office for me,” said a confident Webster of facing Magomedov. “I’m used to the bright lights. Li (Magomedov) is just a straight forward fighter with no defense. If you stand in front of him, or any fighter really, it can be a dangerous night, but the one important thing I know about him is that he’s about to take a loss because he’s fighting DerrickTake It To The BankWebster, the best southpaw around.

Webster came late to boxing, not starting until age 24 when a gym opened up across the street from his house. He only had 40 Amatoraj bataloj (38-2) and says the decision to forego a lengthy unpaid career and turn pro immediately came from an unlikely source.

“?i estis (former heavyweight champion and all-time great) Larry Holmes that sat me down and told me I already had the goods to make a name for myself and not to wait to turn pro. He was commentating a tournament I was fighting in, En Allentown, Pensilvanio, where I had four fights in the tournament and had four first-round knockouts. He told me a lot of guys ruin their careers and waste a lot time waiting for the Olympics, so I turned pro.

Gifted athletically and intellectually, Webster was a quarterback in high school and played power forward for two seasons for the University of Maryland in basketball while earning a bachelor’s degree Juvenile Criminal Justice. Outside the ring he now owns home-remodeling and construction businesses, among his many business ventures.

While he may not have had much of an amateur background, Webster credits a couple factors for his ring success. Unue, he’s spent considerable time in training camps, serving as a sparring partner to many of boxing’s elite for the last six years including Roy Jones, Jr., Andre Kvartalo, Johano Paskalo, Bernard Hopkins, Amir Khan, Andre Dirrell and on and on. And second, the fact that his size and left-handed stance have made him a nightmare for opponents to face.

I learned by sparring with the best in the business instead of in the amateur ring and now I’m unpredictable. I even surprise myself. I’m a hell of a boxer, and most guys my height can’t move like I can. My speed is amazing and I have power. I look at like this: I’ve been pro since 2009 and I’ve seldom known who I ‘m fighting because nobody wants to fight a 6’ 4″ Southpaw. Most of my career I’ve gone in not knowing who I’m fighting until I got to the ring. That forced me to prepare for boxers and unorthodox guys and pressure guys and heavy-handed guys at the same time and made me an all-around fighter. I won’t say I’m the next Floyd Mayweather, but I want people someday to say they’re the next Derrick Webster. I want to be the best southpaw of this generation.

Webster’s co-promoter, Greg Cohen de Greg Cohen Antaŭenigoj (along with Vito Mielnicki of GH3 Promotions), says many of the questions about Webster’s potential will be answered against Magomedov.

Derrick Webster could be a star in the making. He certainly has all the talent and the tools he needs to compete on the world stage,” explained Cohen. “There comes a time in every prospect’s career where he faces an opponent who brings out his best. This may be that fight for Derrick Webster and we’re confident after he gets the victory, he’ll be on everyone’s lips as an emerging fighter to watch.

Webster vs. Magomedov will be staged by GH3 Promotions and Greg Cohen Promotions. The ShoBox: The New Generation quadrupleheader telecast will also feature GCP/GH3 fighters Antoine Douglas (17-0-1, 11 KOs) #Kontra?. Istvan Szili (18-0-2, 8 KOs), as well as Jerry Odom (13-1, 12 KOs) and Adam Lopez (12-0, 6 KOs) against opponents that are TBA currently.

Londoner signs three year contract

Former Commonwealth Welterweight Champion John O’Donnell has decided to put pen to paper and sign a three year deal with rising manager/promoter Steve Goodwin.

 

29 year old O’Donnell has won 29 De 31 fights including winning both the English and Commonwealth titles and has his eyes initially set on the British title and the winner of Sam Eggington and Glenn Foot.

 

“I can beat both of them in the same night” said O’Donnell. “My aspirations are world title level but winning the British title will be the first step en-route”, John continued “No one has a bad word to say about Steve and we can all see the massive strides he is making. It was an easy decision to make.”

 

Goodwin said “We are delighted to secure the signing of someone with the quality of John. I am determined to assist John is his aspirations and we will be watching domestic developments with interest with the ultimate aim of cracking the world stage later in 2015 and 2016.”

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Wednesday:

 

ERISLANDY LARA

I want to thank the fans here in Chicago. This is a great opportunity to show my skills on national television on Spike.

I’ve been eager to get back in the ring after my first title defense and Delvin Rodriguez is a worthy opponent.

I’m going to be electrifying on fight night and the fans are going to see a spectacular performance from me.

 

DELVIN RODRIGUEZ

“I’m tre ekscitita por ĉi tiu batalo. We had a great training camp. We’ve been going for about three months, and I really think this is one of the best camps I’ve ever had.

 

Everything has fallen into place this time around. Kiel batalanto, you always feel like there may have been something missing. For this fight we had enough time to prepare.

 

I’m taking this fight as if it’s my last opportunity. That’s how I’m going to fight this fight. That’s how I’ve programmed my mind for this fight, as if my back is against the wall. This is my last chance at a world title.

 

I’m facing a great boxer. He’s a very technical fighter and he has great skills. And that helps motivate me even more. It made me work so much harder for this fight.

 

I’ve been reading a lot about what the media is saying about this fight. I promise the fans that whatever I have to do, this is going to be an exciting fight. It has to be an exciting fight for Delvin Rodriguez because this is my last chance.

 

ARTUR BETERBIEV

I’m very glad to be here in Chicago for this fight. I’m ready for anything in the ring.

 

If my opponent is going to call himself Alexander ‘The Great’ Johnson, then I’ll be ‘King Arthurand I’m here to win. Even though I make that joke I am here to win and that is the truth.

 

We couldn’t do too much research on the new opponent, but we’ve looked through a couple of videos so we know the opponent is a southpaw and we’re ready for that.

 

I don’t like to underestimate my opponents and I prepare for everybody the same. I’ll be ready to go against him.

 

My last fight against Gabriel Campillo was against a southpaw, so it’s something I’m used to and I believe I have the knowledge so that it won’t be a problem.

 

ALEXANDER JOHNSON

 

I’m not a big talker. Vendredo Ni’ll vidas, but I think he (Beterbiev) is all hype.

 

I’m willing to fight anybody any time anywhere. This is just another stepping-stone for my legacy.

 

I was not aware of him before I took the fight, but I have fought big punchers before and my chin is strong. I will have no problem with his power.

 

I come to win, no matter what day it is, what time it is, no matter what place it is; I always come to win. I’m always ready to fight. This is a boxer’s life.

 

ARTUR SZPILKA

 

I know that Manuel Quezada is a tougher fighter than the guy I fought last time in Chicago, but I’m so much better than I was then.

 

My Polish fans always help me. When I fought Mike Mollo, and I went down, I heard them screaming my name; I know that I can’t disappoint them. I will always give them my best.

 

Of course I want to knock Quezada out, and hopefully it will be seen on Spike.

 

I want to be a bigger part of Premier Boxing Champions, but the most important thing I can do is what my trainer Ronnie Shields wants me to do in order to win.

Ĉi tie estas kio la gazetaraj konferencaj partoprenantoj devis diri Merkredo:

 

ADRIEN BRONER

 

I’m very blessed to be here. I’ve been through some things that would say I shouldn’t have been here today, but now I’m one of the biggest names in boxing.

 

This is a big fight because Adrien Broner is on the card. No disrespect to Shawn and Kenny, but I’m coming to win and I’m going to win.

 

Even if it’s a hard fight, I’m going to win this fight. They say he’s strong, they say he comes like a bulldozer. Whatever they bring to the table on Junio 20, I?? Preta.

 

I’m going to be the most powerful fighter on June 20Th and definitely the prettiest fighter onJunio 20. Don’t blink or you’ll miss it.

 

SHAWN PORTER

 

I’m the strongest fighter that Adrien Broner will ever get into the ring with.

 

I know he’s got more fights as a professional than me but that doesn’t mean he’s got more experience than me. We do all our fighting in the gym, prior to the fight.

 

I’m still the same ‘Showtime’ Shawn Porter, I still have everything that I need to be great and come out victorious. Not being relevant after this fight is not an option.

 

Our first mindset isn’t going to be to bully him, but to outbox him and use our speed. I’m going to be better than I ever have.

 

I’ve learned a lot about how to not be held and how to get guys off of you. That’s part of the process and it will be important in this fight.

 

Everything has been going really smoothly and I’ve been strong this entire camp. It’s been great and it’s what you need going into a fight.

 

I haven’t looked at this as a catch weight, but as a weight class. My weight class is 144. Anything that he expects to gain from having me come down to 144, he’s not going to get it.

 

PBC has been a blessing for these fighters and boxing in general. With all the fights on television it’s just an honor to be a part of. There’s no clearer opportunity than now, on network television to show what I got.

 

MIKE STAFFORD, Broner’s Trainer

 

These guys know each other from the amateurs. It’s Ohio, so we are familiar with each other. I’m glad that they took the fight, I love Shawn, I love Kenny, but it’s business and we are here to win.

 

KEN PORTER, Porter’s Father & Trejnisto

This is the stage we all want to be on, the pinnacle of the sport. We have two elite fighters up here and I expect they will put on a performance that will be memorable throughout the summer and throughout the rest of the year.

 

LEONARD ELLERBE, CEO de Mayweather #Anta?enigo

 

With the two styles of Adrien Broner and Shawn Porter you can’t expect anything but a great fight.

 

This is a tremendous platform for Mayweather Promotions. We’ve promoted the biggest fights in the history of the sport. It’s a great feeling to be part of the PBC family.

 

To step right on in and promote one of the biggest names of the sport in Adrien Broner, we’re expecting a great turnout and great ratings so fans across the country should make sure to tune-in.

Ĵus, headliners Bruce “#Sufi?e Knabo” Boyington (10-8), the NEF MMA Professional Lightweight Champion, Kaj John “Unua Klaso” Raio(2-7) joined NEF co-owner and matchmaker Matt Peterson on a specialHead-to-Headedition of the NEF Podcast. Boyington and Raio discussed the upcoming rematch and the controversy surrounding their first meeting in February 2014, among other topics.

 

The interview quickly turned to the top of the first fight. Raio appeared to apply a rear-naked choke to Boyington on the mat late in the first round. Boyington began waving his hand in the air and referee Jimmy Bickford quickly stepped in to stop the fight. Much has been made of the infamoushand wave.While Bickford saw it as a sign of Boyington’s submission, Boyington has contended that he was merely signaling to his fans in the crowd that the hold was not doing any damage.

 

I can tell you how that night ended,” recalled Raio of the first bout. “Resume, Bruce had given me his back. When I took his back, I had the hooks in and I had the rear-naked choke across his jaw line. I was trying to pressure it under his throat, and as I grabbed my left bicep and my left hand was going behind his head, the ref stopped the fightI was amazed that he had tapped because, honeste, I knew that I had a lot of pressure on his jawIf in fact he was waving, that sucks for him.

 

In that situation, I specifically remember Bickford looking at me, I’m face up, he’s going for my neck and I’m waving,” Said Boyington. “Everybody starts roaring real loud and I remember Bickford saying, ‘No Bruce, you can’t say that’If you think that I’m submitting or I’m in trouble or can’t breathe, you don’t tell the fighter, “You can’t say that,” you just jump in and you stop the fight. I feel like he made a mistake. I feel like he realizes thatI see a lot of different things that John has said online, and a lot of things other people have said, and that’s when I really started to get bothered by what had happened. I felt like he could’ve handled it better.

 

Prior to Boyington giving up his back, many felt he had been winning that first round. Efektive, Boyington’s striking seemed to be on point that evening. Peterson asked both competitors to speculate on what would have happened had the referee not stopped the bout at that point.

 

Inevitably, I think John would’ve been knocked out,” stated Boyington emphatically. “I don’t think I’m gonna submit him, because that would be his best chance with me. He’s strong enough to defend a submission.

 

I think if the ref didn’t stop at the time, when I was on his jaw with my forearm and I was reaching behind his neck,” Raio speculated, “I believe my arm would’ve slid under his throat and it would’ve ended sometime soon before the round. Tiel, I don’t think it would’ve gone to a second round.

 

In the days, weeks and months following the fight, both Boyington’s and Raio’s massive fan-followings have been very vocal on social media regarding the outcome of the bout. The heated debate has raged between both sides for well over a year now. With so much at stake for each side at “NEFa XVIII,” both athletes touched on what the rematch means to them, and what they need to prove this coming weekend.

 

I just can’t go in there and beat John,” Said Boyington. “Even his own fans are expecting thatI can’t just go in there on June 13thand beat John Raio. I gotta go in there and destroy him. Or I still lose out on this fight. I know that, and I’m gonna go in there and make that statement. And I’m gonna do it with one arm, because the other arm isn’t even working right nowI haven’t worried about this date from day one. It’s nothing to do with John Raio. I don’t disrespect the guy. I don’t not like the guy. He’s a good man. I’m just at another level. I need to show up and prove that. That’s what it is to me. It’s not about me beating John. It’s about me showing everybody where I belong.

 

In regard to Bruce finishing me quickly, and making it easy, and not really worrying about the fight too much, I just find it disrespectful like a lot of things he’s said to me, Mia familio kaj miaj amikoj,” replied Raio. “There were times after the last fight when people were congratulating me (on Facebook) and he’d go on like a one or two paragraph rant on every single comment everyone had put on my page for like three days straight. Tiel, after that I said ‘Bruce and I aren’t really friends anymore,’ so I deleted him. I liked him before that fightbut when people disrespect me like he has it’s hard to like the guy.

Team N’Dam objects to officials named for IBF middleweight world title fight in Montreal: N’Dam vs. Lemieux, Junio 20 En Montreal

L-R) – Hassan N’Dam & Gary Hyde

 

CORK, Irlando (Junio 10, 2015) – Gary Hyde, manager of International Boxing Federation (IBF) Ne. 1-Rangita, mandatory middleweight contender Hassan N’Dam (31-1, 18 KOs), has objected to two officials named to work the June 20Th IBF world middleweight title fight between N’Dam and David Lemieux (33-2, 31 KOs) at the famed Bell Centre in Montreal, Kanado.

 

Cameroon-native N’Dam, promoted by King Sports, is a former World Boxing Organization (WBO) 160-pound division world champion. The IBF No. 4-ranked Lemieux was born and lives in Montreal, Kebekio.

 

“an de junio 2Nd,” Hyde explained, “I learned who the officials were for theJunio 20Th fight at the Bell Centre. I contacted the IBF and objected to two officials who are from Montreal, Kebekio, the same city Lemieux is from. arbitraciisto Marlon Wright has refereed five of Lemieuxfights and the judge in question, Benoit Roussel, has worked no fewer than 12 of Lemieux’ Bataloj.

 

I also objected to the Quebec Commission on the appointment of the two Canadian officials. The selection of two officials from the same city as one of the fighters in an international world championship bout indicates a flawed and unfair procedure and undermines the appearance of fairness and impartiality. In my experience in world championship bouts the officials must always be neutral.

 

We are hopeful that the Quebec Boxing Commission will replace both Canadian officials with a pair of neutral officials, so that we can concentrate solely on the job at hand, to beat Lemieux.

KITCHENER, Ontario, Kanado (Junio 10, 2015) — Marcelo Sánchez, of leading Nicaraguan-based promoter Pinolero Boxing, and Canadian lawyer Michael J. Schmidt, on behalf of public relations and marketing firm Jensen Strauss Agency Limitée, today jointly announced a strategic alliance to expand the Pinolero brand on an International basis.

 

Both companies have short and long term goals that perfectly fit together,” Schmidt said. “Pinolero Boxing Promotion’s in the business of developing regional, national and World Champions. Both companies will be looking at various means to move Pinolero boxers into a further International framework. Pinolero has a proven track record of developing a strong brand of champions and all efforts are being made to further maximize the Pinolero talent. Jensen Strauss Agency Limitée will provide additional public relations and marketing expertise.

 

Obviously,” Schmidt added, “there will only ever be one Alex Arguello, as well as only one Roman “El Chocolatito” GonzalezI believe he should have serious consideration as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world todaybut Pinolero Boxing has a tremendous depth of talented individuals ready to blossom into their own legendary status.

 

We are well aware of Mr. Schmidt and Jensen Strauss Agency Limitée through his steady and professional work in Panama, and work he has done for boxing media personalities throughout the world,” Sanchez, speaking on behalf of Pinolero Boxing, Rimarkita. “We both agree that there is a tremendous talent which should make for exciting marketing. Jensen Strauss Agency Limitée and Pinolero share the same joy in developing these young men, not only towards National Championships, but also a World Championship vision, focusing on efforts to brand our company and boxers in the ring, and in terms of their image and ability to earn income outside of the ring”.

 

Promising prospects such as 20-year-old Junior Ramirez (12-0, 9 KOs), la Monda Boksa Konsilio (WBC) Youth Silver super lightweight champion, knockout artist Roberto Arriaza (10-0, 9 KOs), the Nicaraguan welterweight champion, and minimum-weight Byron Rojas (15-2), are all perfect examples of Pinolero Boxing’s stable of rising talent.

 

Schmidt is particularly excited by Nicaraguan fighters such as Cristofer Rosales Gonzalez, a 20-year-old with a record of 13-2, Kiu, Schmidt notes, “hasn’t been afraid to step up and take on undefeated International competition.

 

Pinolero Boxing will shortly celebrate its 100Th promotional show by hosting a major boxing event in Nicaragua. “We will input a full set of resources and expertise, through the direction of Marcelo Sanchez at Pinolero Boxing,” Schmidt remarked. “We are excited to work with a promotional company that, under the direction of Marcelo Sanchez, has such exceptional talent. Espereble, within the next year or two, the nature of this relationship will show in the form of more boxing champions being crowned under the Pinolero banner, but also in young men who conduct themselves with class and skill, inside and outside of the ring, which is so inherent in the nature of some of the legendary Nicaraguan fighters.

 

We look forward to Jensen Strauss Agency Limitée working for and on behalf of Pinolero Boxing in helping to provide add-on services in the development of opportunities and marketing channels appropriate to our boxers,” Sanchez concluded. “Our July show will be a special event for Nicaragua and we welcome having Schmidt and Jensen Strauss Agency Limitée on board.
