Kelly Swanson

Terima kasih banyak, semua orang, for calling in. We have a great call today. This is a great show. I’m going to turn it over to our moderator now, Lou DiBella, president of DiBella Entertainment. Also joining us on the call are Brett Yormark and Jon Slusser.

Lou DiBella

It’s a great card that’s going to be on Spike at 9 petang. ET / 6 petang. PT on Friday night, the 29th of May, di Barclays Pusat. The first bout will be Paulie Malignaggi after a year layoff. Very few guys in boxing can claim to be more Brooklyn and he has his hands full in a bout with Danny O’Connor. Danny is a tough kid who is hungry for this fight. This is a matchup between an Italian-American and an Irish-American, a kid from New York and a kid from Boston.

We’re going to get to Danny first. Danny is going to say a few words, then we’ll open it up to a few questions for him, then turn it over to Paulie.

Danny O'Connor

I want to thank everyone for being here. I’m very excited about this opportunity to fight Paul and to come down to New York and showcase my skills at Barclays Center. I’ve worked my whole career for this. I put a lot of effort and sacrifice in my life to get here. I’m very excited and I’m ready for the task at hand.

Danny, in a situation where you’re fighting a guy who in his last fight was TKO’d, does that make you think of coming in a different way than you ordinarily might, target him and be more aggressive than usual?

D. O'Connor

Adakah Tidak, I don’t. Anything can happen on any given night in boxing. That’s what we do. Oleh kerana itu, I’m not looking at anything differently.

Paul had some time off to recover and recoup. I’m expecting Paul at his best. I want him at his best. The better he is, the better challenge that lies in front of me. The more excited that makes me.

My game plan is going to be my game plan regardless of his last fight.

What was your reaction when your name was picked? You’re fighting Paulie Malignaggi, bekas juara dunia. Did you think it was a joke or did you see it as you’re getting a fight at an elite fighter that will springboard you?

D. O'Connor

I was excited right off the rip. That’s what I’ve been working my whole career for, is that shot at something big. To be able to match my skills up against someone like Paul, with his résumé, that’s what excites me. I get up for that type of challenge.

I didn’t want to get my hopes up in case something fell through. Tinju, apa-apa yang boleh berlaku. As it got more and more real it was excitement. It’s all about excitement.

I’ve been working a very long time to get to this spot. I put in a lot of work and I deserve to be here. I’m excited to take this chance and to showcase my skills against Paul.

You have a tremendous amateur record, 110 kemenangan, hanya 11 kerugian. Is that part of the training ground that you’ve had to put you into this position now?

D. O'Connor

Yeah. I think with anything in life, experience is going to get you places. The more experience you have, the more comfortable you’re going to be, the more savvy you’re going to be. The type of person I am, etika kerja saya, how hard I’ve worked, it’s got me far so far.

A victory over Paulie will put you on top of the radar charts for the other 47-pounders. Is that what you’re looking for?

D. O'Connor

It’s not even in my mind, satu. I don’t look at all past Paul. He’s a tough fighter. I’m focused at the task at hand, and that’s Paul. That’s all I’m looking at.

Paulie is fast. How do you intend to deal with his speed?

D. O'Connor

Hopefully I’ll be able to neutralize that speed by having my own speed. I’m not too slow myself. I think it’s going to be a battle of the minds.

DiBella

I’m going to introduce a man I know very well, and who probably didn’t think I’d be making this announcement, but Paulie, anda ingin mengatakan beberapa perkataan?

Paulie Malignaggi

Saya gembira berada di sini. I’m excited about fighting at Barclays Center again. I’ve gotten the desire to fight again over the past year little by little. It started growing more and more. Once you sign up for a fight, you see the event in front of you, you start seeing things like the teleconference and all that we’re doing now, it starts to resonate in your mind that it’s coming up, it’s close, so the excitement kind of builds. I’m happy to be a part of this event, part of this show, and everybody involved with it.

Paulie, you’ve gotten off to a great start in your broadcasting career. Does this take anything away from what you’re achieving in broadcasting or slow your development that way, or do you feel like you can manage both things side by side?

P. Malignaggi

This has been a training camp where I’m kind of getting it all down together. It’s basically a training camp where I haven’t had as much work to do as I have this time around in the past.

The reason I still have the passion for this is I still make time to train every day, find the time to prepare adequately every day.

It’s not always easy with the broadcasting. You have to fight, shut everything down and focus on the fight. It’s not like that anymore. That kind of comes with age, you kind of get into new things in your life and whatnot.

If it was a couple years ago, I wouldn’t have been able to handle it. I’m at a place in my life where I can handle it more and compartmentalize things more. The passion shows in and of itself. If I didn’t really want to do this, trust me, I would do the broadcasting, I would half-ass it on my training. Last week was challenging, but every day I was able to get in my training somehow, some way. One workout a day, sometimes two workouts a day.

When you don’t want to train, but you still go out and do it, you have that victory in your mind, you want to persevere and excel. I’m the type of person that wants to do that.

Akhirnya, selepas perjuangan ini, I plan on winning the fight and looking good. I’ve been feeling good in the training camp. Selepas perjuangan, I’m just taking it one fight at a time. I’m not looking past Danny. It’s a little bit different in my career right now, but at the same time I’m still enjoying the ride.

At some point when you were doing the broadcasting, was there something about being on the sidelines that kind of inspired the feelings that you’d like to be back on the other side of the ropes again? Was it a particular fight or moment?

P. Malignaggi

I wouldn’t say it was anything in particular. I don’t say that was part of the reason, Saya rasa.

At first it was part of the reason why I didn’t want to fight again. I would see these fights from close range, see the violence, some crazy exchanges. “Man, better these guys than me. I’m done.”

Then little by little, as I started feeling better, I would start seeing the same kind of stuff, and I would focus on the crowd reaction, the adrenaline these fighters are feeling. I was starting to slowly change my thinking pattern. It was starting to slowly become more like, I got to feel this again, I got to feel that rush again. It’s something missing in my life.

The transition kind of came slowly. I don’t think it was one particular moment or situation, it just kind of came slowly and developed. Before you know it, you start to hit a couple bags. As with any boxer in general, you start to hit the bag, you start to loosen, sebelum anda tahu, you start to feel it.

I suppose when you retire from boxing you should stay away from the boxing gym, because otherwise you’re going to want to fight.

Paulie, how much of a factor was the result of your previous fight in motivating you to kind of come back and have a chance to go out with a win if, sebenarnya, that’s what ultimately occurs here?

P. Malignaggi

That had no bearing on any of this. The only bearing in my life that fight had on me was the decision not to fight anymore. When I went into the fight, I didn’t decide it was going to be my last fight. I wasn’t thinking of any of that stuff at all.

When the result happened, I was more so thinking, Maybe this is it. It wasn’t really that particular result as far as me not being able to accept it. It was more so, before the Porter fight, I hadn’t looked bad. I had a dominant victory, but I had one bad night. If I really want to chalk up my entire career to that one bad night and be done, or do I give myself another shot?

I don’t want to go out on a loss, I have more left. The Porter fight doesn’t take away from what I did in the past two or three years. You have a fight like that, take a year off, people expect that’s where you are and that’s it.

I think people are going to draw their own conclusions. The Porter fight had no bearing on what I wanted to do. I felt like, I’m alive and I want to live. For me living is feeling that adrenaline rush, the rush of being in the ring. I’m a competitive person. That’s more what was the motivator. I’m not dead, so I don’t need to live like I’m dead. Some people choose to live like they’re dead. I don’t need to do that. I can feel life. Nothing makes me feel more alive than having the adrenaline of being in a boxing ring in front of a packed crowd.

Paulie, depending on how you look at this fight, if you perform to your highest capabilities, if you win handily, what’s next for you? Do you go challenge for a title, fight one of the better fighters in the division again?

P. Malignaggi:

Secara jujur, it hasn’t even crossed my mind. I want to see not only how I look and feel in the fight. I may look good and say, anda tahu apa yang, I’m good to go again. I may look good and say, anda tahu apa yang, this is taking away too much time from other things I want to enjoy in my life. I may need to feel this adrenaline rush again. I don’t know.

I haven’t given it that much thought yet. I’m only focused on Danny O’Connor right now. I feel like those are possible things that would be crossing my mind, but in reality I haven’t given it enough thought to really have made that kind of decision.

I don’t know yet. I’m focused only on the fight right now. So anything post May 29th I’ll decide post May 29th.

You said you started training, you were feeling good, had no problem training. How much fun are you having again with boxing? Do you feel rejuvenated?

P. Malignaggi

I enjoy a good challenge in life, a challenge that I enjoy. If you put me in a chemistry class, it will be a challenge, but I don’t think I’ll enjoy it too much. Know what I’m saying?

Boxing is a challenge to me, but it’s a challenge I enjoy. I enjoy pushing my body and mind to the limits and seeing if I can succeed. Sudah tentu, I’ve been enjoying it.

Sometimes people look at me and tell you, why would you want to fight again? You’re set. You have good money coming in.

Ini bukan soal wang. Baik, obviously it’s always about the money. That’s not the main motivator. The motivator is to feel alive. I can be dead when I’m six feet under. Right now I don’t want to feel like that. I want to feel that rush of adrenaline again, feel alive. While I can still do it, I will do it.

Paulie, what made this particular fight the right opportunity to get back into the ring? What does the New York/Boston rivalry add to this fight?

P. Malignaggi

The opportunity to be back in the ring could have came against anyone.

The New York/Boston rivalry, I’ve thought of it a couple times. It’s not Boston/New York, Italian/Irish. It’s like 50 years too late. If it’s 1955, you’re going to have this in a huge stadium, everybody would be into it. It could be a real cool event. Not that it’s not going to be a cool event anyway.

What I’m saying is the perception of the event is different now than it would have been back in the day when the Italian and Irish rivalry, New York and Boston rivalry might have been more. It gives it a fall-back feel to me and that’s good for me.

What do you know about Danny O’Connor? He hasn’t fought a lot of the top-level opponents that you have. What do you see as your strengths and his weaknesses in this fight?

P. Malignaggi

I’ve known Danny for quite some time. Obviously he hasn’t fought at the level that I have. The experience is in my favor.

I knew he had a good amateur career. He’s a solid competitor. He has a Golden Gloves title. When you have that kind of amateur career, you expect yourself to break through in the pros.

I had a good amateur career, I was a national championship as well. I had the expectation I would have a successful pro career as well. At that point you’re used to winning and winning at a high level.

I feel like Danny has that expectancy of himself. Maybe it’s come a little slower. I feel this is an opportunity for him because he has a chance to finally show all the things he had to show in the amateurs.

I can’t take him lightly, and I don’t take him lightly because I know what he’s feeling. I know what it’s like to have that successful amateur career, go into your first professional fight and have those goosebumps. I kind of know what he’s feeling, what’s going through his mind, both the good and the bad.

In that way I guess I have the advantage because I’m prepared for that thing because I’ve already been through it.

Are you able to focus on him as an opponent in this fight rather than all these broader questions about your career arc and all that type of thing?

P. Malignaggi

Ya, sudah tentu. I’m preparing for a slick boxer named Danny O’Connor. He’s a southpaw, can sit back on the back foot sometimes. He might bring the kind of fight I intend to bring, my game plan. Every day I’m in the gym working on that.

Although the distractions are nice to talk about, in the end I’m working on the exact plan in the gym every day.

L. DiBella

Terima kasih, Paulie.

Now I’d like to introduce the CEO of Barclays Center, Brett Yormark.

Brett Yormark:

Terima kasih, Lou. Glad to be here with everyone. Looking forward to hosting Paulie and Danny on the 29th, as well as Amir and Chris.

From a building perspective, obviously we’re committed to boxing. We’re thrilled to be hosting our second PBC fight. Our first event was a resounding success. It was our biggest gate since we opened Barclays Center as it relates to boxing. It was the most highly attended event.

The atmosphere and the environment was electrifying. We think we’ll be able to duplicate and replicate that experience for our fans on the 29th.

I’m thrilled that Spike will be our partner. They have an edgy broadcast, how they do their business. That’s a perfect fit for Brooklyn. Obviously we are excited that Paulie is on the card. It was always about bringing fights that meant something nationally, but it was also about nurturing and fostering the careers of Brooklyn fighters.

There’s no bigger fighter in Brooklyn than Paulie Malignaggi. He’s a friend and has fought many times at the Barclays Center. Welcoming him back after a year away from the sport is terrific for us.

We’re also thrilled to have Danny fight in our building for the first time. I’m also excited to be working with Amir Khan. I always hoped that Amir would call Barclays Center home. He’s been in our building for Nets games and other events.

Then Chris Algieri, he and Provodnikov last June probably had one of the biggest and electrifying fights ever at Barclays Center. For him to come back and fight with us is great for us. He brings a big Long Island fan base, which we hope to tap into again.

This should be a really big night for Brooklyn boxing, boxing in general, and the PBC. We look forward to the 29th and are thrilled to be a partner.

L. DiBella

Terima kasih, Brett.

Now to what will be our other event of the evening on May 29th, the first participant is the pride of Huntington, Pulau Long. His career best victory took place at the Barclays Center when he established himself as a force in boxing.

Chris Algieri with a record of 20-1, I know is looking forward to this great opportunity versus Amir Khan.

Chris, can you say a few words.

Chris Algieri

Hello, semua orang. I’d like to thank Lou DiBella Entertainment. It’s a pleasure to be back at Barclays Center. We fought a year ago last June, had a great fight, won my first world title. I’m also excited to be fighting on Spike. Thank you for hosting the event. It’s a whole new network to fight on. I’m very excited about it all.

L. DiBella

Terima kasih, Chris.

This next gentleman, I use that word seriously, is one of the most talented fighters in the game. He’s from England. Former world champion with a record of 30-3. Amir Khan.

Amir Khan

Hello, semua orang. I want to say hi to all the press and media. Brett Yormark is a friend of mine from Barclays Center. I’m very excited to fight at the Barclays Center. I’ve been there a few times. I always said that I want to come over here and give New York a huge fight, bring boxing there. I have a big fan base from New York. I’m sure Chris Algieri also has a big fan base. But we’re going to come and make some noise.

The fight is going to be on Spike, which I’m also excited for. I’m looking forward to the whole event on the 29th of May, pada hari Jumaat. I hope you’re all going to be there cheering us on. Terima kasih.

Chris, you’ve had time to work with John David Jackson now. Do you see him changing you in any significant way?

C. Algieri

Yeah, sama sekali. It’s been a great training camp. We’ve been learning quite a bit. John has been bringing out a lot of aspects of my style, things I can do in the ring that I haven’t had an opportunity to show just yet.

We’re both very excited about this fight, excited about what we’re going to be able to do on fight night the 29th. Learning new aspects in a sport I love has been an eye-opening experience and enjoyable one as well.

Taking someone on like Amir Khan, someone with his experience, the people he’s fought, I know you’ve kind of made the step up in these last two fights to a higher level, but this could have been an opportunity for you to take a little bit easier fight. Why did you keep it this tough right here?

C. Algieri

Anda tahu, I’ve never been that guy, to take an easy route or an easy fight. I’ve come up very fast in both of the sports I’ve come up in. Even at a young age when I was kickboxing, I took on big fights. In my young boxing career, it’s been a constant step-up my entire career.

I have not been one of those guys who has moved along gingerly. I’ve been excited to tackle big opponents and big fights on big stages. This is par for the course for my career.

Amir, you had a possibility of fighting Mayweather until he made the fight with Pacquiao. They’ve already mentioned your name as a next possible opponent. How critical is winning this fight toward preserving that dream of fighting Mayweather? Do you see it as part of the big picture?

A. Khan

Pasti, winning this fight is everything to me. I’m not looking past this Chris Algieri fight. I know it’s a very dangerous fight for me. Stylistically he’s very dangerous and I’m not going to be looking past it. If I do, I’ll have made a mistake.

I have to be focused. I have to be disciplined in training camp, not looking past this Chris Algieri fight. I know there are big fights out there like Mayweather. I just have to stay focused and win this fight and go from there really.

You call Chris “dangerous”. He’s not known as a big puncher. It could be a good boxing match. What do you see as the danger that Chris poses to you?

A. Khan

Technically I think overall he’s a very good boxer, moves well. He makes a lot of fighters fall short. He’s very skillful. You have to be on your “A” game to beat him.

I’ve been watching a lot of videos. Even the Pacquiao fight, there’s some good things he did there. It could be dangerous for me coming into this fight if I’m not on my “A” permainan. I have to be one step ahead and make sure I don’t make any mistakes. Chris Algieri is a guy that if you make a mistake, he’s going to make you pay for it.

Amir, you were criticized heavily for taking this fight. What can you do in this fight to put your name up there to get the bigger fights again? Are you going to have to knock out Chris to make a real impression?

Amir Khan

Lihatlah, there’s people putting this fight down, and I don’t know why. Pada akhir hari, Chris has won a world title. He’s fought Pacquiao. He’s a very good boxer, moves well, boxes well. I definitely have to be on my “A” permainan.

All this stuff what people are saying, they’re probably thinking Amir thinks it’s going to be a walk in the park, but he’ll make a mistake and lose this fight.

I take every fight seriously. I’ve made that mistake in the past. I’ve fought some fights that I thought are going to be a walk in the park; I got hurt, I lost the fight. I’m not thinking any fight is going to be easy. Every fight I walk into, every person in front of me is going to be in there to win the fight.

Listening to Chris Algieri, he seems he wants to win this fight. That motivates me and makes me train harder. He wants to win this fight.

I’m not really listening to what people are saying about future fights or where this fight can take me.

There still is pressure on you to deliver because you have to send a message that you’re still a big name.

A. Khan

Definitely there is. There’s a lot of pressure on me in every fight because they want to see me perform. Obviously there’s always the bigger picture of the other side.

At the end of the day I’m still fighting the top guys and I believe Chris is one of the top guys in boxing.

You were quoted on the weekend that saying Leonard Ellerbe has mentioned Mayweather to you. What would be your plan there? Would it be hoping he puts it back to November or could you fight late in September?

A. Khan

Secara jujur, I’m not looking past this fight. I’ll tell you everything after the fight. At the moment what’s on my mind is the Chris Algieri fight. I don’t have anything else on my mind.

Amir, you left Golden Boy after your contract ran out. You’re with PBC now. What was your thinking behind making that move?

A. Khan

PBC I think is brilliant because it’s going to give more fans the chance to tune in to get to see you. I think it’s going to be good for the boxers. To be on Spike, the viewers are going to be great.

At the end of the day it’s not like I’m making less money or anything. I’m still doing well financially. Obviously I’m getting more people to watch me fight hopefully on Spike and on PBC.

Obviously your name has been linked with Mayweather not just the last three weeks but with the last three years. You’re both with Haymon. Has he ever said what you need to do to get in the ring with Mayweather?

A. Khan

To get that fight, you have to look good. You have to shine really. It’s all about working hard, training hard, putting in good performances in the ring. To turn in the best performances in the ring, I can’t take it easy in camp. I have to be very focused.

There’s been the word there for the last couple years that that fight was going to happen. But I’m going to be taking every fight one step at a time, hopefully put on great performances. If that fight comes, obviously it’s something I’ve always wanted.

Is that what he’s saying to you?

A. Khan

Ya, my trainer, everyone has said. “you have a fight in front of you and Chris Algieri is no joke.” I can’t go into this fight thinking it’s going to be easy. In boxing, there are always guys who are skillful and can beat you. I have to be that one step ahead. I can’t really take this fight lightly and think it’s going to be easy, lose my fight, then all my dreams are shattered to fight all the big names in boxing.

Losing this fight, it would ruin my dreams to fight the big names in boxing. I have to be focused on this fight. I know what it’s like to fight someone in their own backyard. When I fought Lamont Peterson, you have to try harder to win that fight.

I have to be very focused, definitely keep the game plan strong, just win your rounds and win the fight.

Chris, you were in the ring with Pacquiao before. Obviously there’s a shoulder injury he says he’s had for quite some time. Was there anything you felt when you were in there, maybe you saw a difference in him, different from when he fought you?

C. Algieri

I didn’t really see anything physically. I saw a little more mental. He seemed more focused from my fight, to tell you the truth. Even at the weigh-in, he was bubbly and smiley. He wasn’t that way with myself when we were in China. That’s neither here nor there. You don’t know whether that could be anything.

That’s kind of a hard question to answer for someone else.

What does this fight mean for you going forward? A win against a top name in boxing would do wonders for your career. Tell us what a win would mean for your career moving forward.

C. Algieri

Yeah, I don’t want to speak for Amir or any other fighter out there, but we’re all competitors. We’re all out there to win. There’s a reason we do this at the elite level. You have to have a burning desire to be a winner.

Amir is a champion, bekas juara. I’m a former champion, a champion myself. That will and desire to always want to win is there. There’s a lot of questions that are being asked. You have to win this fight. Sudah tentu, you have to win this fight. You have to win to get the big fights.

That’s one of the great things about this sport: when you keep winning, good things happen. Sudah tentu, we’re all very hungry to get this victory and move on with our careers. I’m in exactly the same place. This is a huge fight, a huge opportunity. As with any other fight, Saya mahu menang.

Amir, did you see anything in Mayweather that you would have taken advantage of, something you saw that other people didn’t see? Did he look a step slower? Something you saw that you could take advantage of?

A. Khan

Yeah, Maksud saya, I was there as a boxing fan. I’m only an hour away from Vegas. I went there to watch the fight. I enjoyed the atmosphere and everything.

Mayweather looked great. He did what he had to do to win the fight. His accuracy was nothing but the best. He was catching Pacquiao with some good, clean shots, whereas Pacquiao was falling short.

That’s the way he fights. He’s a very skillful fighter who is very patient and makes his opponent make mistakes. That’s what I liked about him.

His world grade is dropping tremendously because of his age. But there are things I saw there which I have not seen before; when he takes a good shot, he doesn’t panic. The only way to catch him is with speed. Pacquiao didn’t use as much speed and explosiveness in the fight.

I enjoyed it. I’m sure there were all those people who said he was never going to beat Pacquiao, baik, he’s been there and done that.

A lot of people want you to fight Kelly Brook, can you talk about the decision to take a different opponent who is not ranked as high?

A. Khan

I could have fought Kell Brook in the UK. I don’t want to fight because of Ramadan coming up. Sama ada cara, I’d be taking Ramadan off. I don’t want to be going into Ramadan tired after a fight, going straight into Ramadan, fasting.

I’ve done that before. I’ve had a fight and I’ve gone straight into Ramadan back-to-back. It’s too much for a body to take. Obviously I need to look after my body.

Yeah, Kell Brook, the guy is a world champion, he should be fighting the likes of Bradley and the big names in boxing, like me. I’m fighting Chris Algieri, who just came out of the ring in his last fight against Pacquiao. Kell Brook, never heard of the guy he fought. Now he’s fighting another no-name fighter without a ranking.

That name doesn’t bother me anymore because he’s not doing anything. The only reason his name gets pushed to me because he holds the title. If he didn’t have the title, I don’t think it would mean anything to me or boxing.

Tell us your thoughts on Algieri as a fighter and give us some of your scouting report on him.

A. Khan

Chris Algieri just came off a win. I saw it the other day. It was a very good fight. He boxed very smart against a guy who is a good pressure fighter and a big puncher. Kemudian, against Pacquiao, one of the quickest fighters in the world.

I think if you look at the names of Chris Algieri’s opponents, Kell Brook’s last few opponents, the names will speak for themselves.

Chris, in this fight there’s been a lot of discussion what Amir is going to do in his next fight, all this. You’re in some ways being overlooked in this. Tell us what you think your advantages are over Amir and why you think you’re going to be able to win this fight.

C. Algieri

All the talk is none of my concern, to tell you the truth. I’m focused on training, preparing the best that I can for this fight. I’ve been working hard, working on a lot of new things with John David Jackson. Great sparring so far.

I’m just a very hungry fighter at this point. I’m coming off my first loss as a professional, and watching Pacquiao and Mayweather fight this weekend has spurred me on this much more, made me that much more of a hungry fighter.

It’s one of those things, you have a guy in great shape that is really hungry for the win. I think that’s a big advantage in any fight.

Amir, focusing on this fight, what do you think your advantages are over Chris?

A. Khan

Yeah, the speed, the movement, the power. Experience is something that I have on my side. I remember a couple years ago when I was fighting the guys who were a lot more experienced than me, I was going and beating them guys. Now I’m in a position where I’m one of the guys with most experience, fighting guys with less experience.

You can’t take that lightly really because obviously I was once in Chris Algieri’s position where I had one loss and I was going up against the top guys in boxing, and I beat those guys.

I can’t go into this fight thinking it’s going to be an easy fight or I’m going to win this fight because I was once in Chris Algieri’s position, where I was getting people telling me, you’re not going to make it, you’re not going to win this fight. Saya membuktikan semua orang salah.

Amir, you fought in New York before. Chris is going to be the hometown guy in this fight. You’re well-known in New York, terlalu. What do you think the effect is going to be having the fight in Brooklyn?

A. Khan

I always wanted to fight in Brooklyn. I fought at Madison Square Garden in 2009 against Paulie. I always wanted to come back to New York. The fan base is huge.

It’s like a second home for me. My wife lives in Staten Island. I spend a lot of time in New York. We live in England, but spend a lot of time in New York and America itself.

Bagi saya, every time I’m walking the streets of New York, I have everybody asking me, when are you going to be fighting again? We want to see you fight again in New York.

Also when I’m at Barclays Center, I’ve been there for a couple of the Nets games, people have always asked me, We need you back in New York. We need you to fight at Barclays Center.

I think it’s time now. I promised them I would come back. I’m coming back fighting one of their home fighters. I know by fighting that home fighter you have to work a bit harder because he’s going to have a little bit more fans than me.

Tetapi, Maksud saya, time will tell. We’ll see how it all goes. I’m going to be focused on everything. I’m going to stay calm and hopefully come fight night I’m going to be ready for everything that Chris Algieri brings to the table. Saya akan bersedia, yeah.

Amir, in Vegas over the weekend you were getting mobbed everywhere you went by fans. What are they saying to you at this point? They’ve been asking you about Floyd. Has that subsided or is that still the message?

A. Khan

Everybody was talking about that one big fight. “You should fight Floyd. You should fight Floyd.”

I was telling them all, I’m fighting Chris Algieri next. That for me is a very tough fight. I need to win this fight if I need to go near any of the big names in fighting.

They were very supportive. I was getting a lot of respect in Vegas. Tetapi, seperti saya katakan, this is time to fight Chris Algieri. I’m not going to be fighting Floyd Mayweather yet till I win this fight.

I was listening, being respectful back. Just meeting fans and greeting fans really.

How inspiring was that to be part of the weekend? It was something quite special, wasn’t it?

A. Khan

It was massive having two big names. I’ve been to both big fights. Normally you have a Pacquiao fight with big names. When you go to a fight with two big names, it was huge. Manny had the bigger crowd, it seemed to me. Floyd just did what he had to do. It was full of a high-profile team, celebrities and stuff. I sat amongst them. It’s something I want to be doing one day, being in the ring, having millions of people in the world watching you and having people watch you ring side.

You had Adrien Broner in your ear. What was that all about?

A. Khan

I think he just wants to jump on the bandwagon and get a little hype. I told my advisor to get me the fight with him before we even got the fight with Chris. Adrien to me seemed to not want the fight. In front of the cameras, he seems to want the fight. When it comes down to signing the contract, he doesn’t want the fight.

Adrien didn’t want it, so obviously I had to go on to someone else.

Is it true that you’ve ruled out fighting in September if a Mayweather fight does come to pass? Will you not fight in September?

A. Khan

Adakah Tidak, tidak, I’ve not ruled out. It’s possible I could fight in September, yeah. Ramadan is going to be a little bit earlier this year, so obviously it helps, gives me enough time to get the training done and everything. It can happen in September.

L. DiBella

Terima kasih, Amir and Chris. Terima kasih, semua orang, kerana menyertai kami.

Mei 7, 2015 FNU47 Tinggalkan komen

Selasa, Mei 5, 2015

Bernie Bahrmasel: Hello, dan selamat datang ke Call Media Persidangan Antarabangsa untuk Kejohanan middleweight Dunia sebagai tinju superstar Gennady “GGG” Golovkin mempertahankan WBA beliau, IBO dan Tajuk WBC Interim terhadap nombor dua pencabar kedudukan Willie “The Mongoose” Monroe Jr., ditetapkan untuk malam Sabtu ini, 16 Mei di The “Fabulous” Forum di Los Angeles, dan disiarkan secara langsung di Amerika Syarikat pada HBO World Championship Boxing di 10 petang. Timur.

Kami melihat satu jumlah yang amat menggalakkan kepentingan dalam acara ini, yang juga mempunyai debut HBO puasa-bintang yang semakin meningkat Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzalez mempertahankan gelaran WBC flyweight junior terhadap kedudukan nombor dua pencabar, Edgar Sosa.

Minggu ini, kami akan mengedarkan satu perjuangan jadual media minggu luas Los Angeles peristiwa kawasan. Bagi media, jika anda belum berbuat demikian, sila memohon tauliah di MagnaMedia.com.

Menyertai kami pertama pada panggilan ini dari kem latihannya di Big Bear Lake, California akan Gennady, jurulatih yang terkenal di dunia itu, Abel Sanchez, dan Pengarah Urusan K2 Promosi, Tom Loeffler. Kemudian dalam panggilan, kita akan disertai oleh Willie Monroe Jr., dari kem latihannya di Winter Haven, Florida, dan penaja beliau, ketua Banner Promosi, Artie Pelullo bersama-sama dengan jurulatih beliau Tony Morgan.

Ia kini berbesar hati untuk menjadikan panggilan kepada Tom Loeffler K2 Promosi, yang akan memperkenalkan Gennady Golovkin dan Habel Sanchez untuk ulasan membuka mereka. Teruskan, Tom.

Tom Loeffler: Terima kasih, Bernie. Kami teruja untuk membawa Gennady kembali ke kawasan Los Angeles. Kami telah mendapat sambutan hebat daripada peminat dengan jualan tiket. Gennady mempunyai 19 pertarungan kalah mati coretan pergi sekarang, dan menyediakan banyak keseronokan di gelanggang dan terdapat banyak panggilan untuk dia kembali ke dalam gelanggang. Kami melihat perjuangan pada malam Sabtu dan orang seolah-olah akan kerinduan untuk beberapa keseronokan, dan itulah yang menjamin Gennady di gelanggang, dan kita perlu bersama-ciri yang hebat dengan “Chocolatito” Gonzales terhadap Edgar Sosa. Yang Chocolatito membuat debut HBO beliau, serta, dan saya tahu banyak peminat di L.A yang. kawasan juga teruja untuk melihat Chocolatito di gelanggang.

Dan Willie Monroe adalah pencabar nombor dua dan diberi nilai menimbulkan gaya yang sangat tidak konvensional dengan pendirian kidal dan gerakannya di gelanggang, jadi saya rasa ini akan menjadi satu perbezaan yang besar kepada gaya.

Dengan yang, Saya ingin memperkenalkan Abel Sanchez dari Kem Latihan Summit di Big Bear Lake.

Abel Sanchez: Hi. Selamat Pagi, guys. Kami tidak sabar-sabar ke apa itu sepuluh hari dari sekarang hari sebelas dari sekarang, memakai satu lagi persembahan hebat. Kami bernasib baik kerana mempunyai seorang anak muda di Willie Monroe yang saya tahu akan datang untuk melawan dan memberikan kami bahawa perjuangan menarik yang kami tidak mempunyai. Baik, sebenarnya minggu lepas tidak menyenangkan seperti yang satu ini akan menjadi, jadi diharapkan Willie dalam bentuk yang besar. Saya tahu bahawa Tony mendapatkan dia bersedia, jadi kami tidak sabar-sabar untuk malam Sabtu ini.

Tom Loeffler: Dan kemudian saya juga ingin memperkenalkan WBA, Juara Interim WBC, IBO middleweight Juara, 32-0 dengan 29 KO, Gennady “GGG” Golovkin.

Gennady Golovkin: Selamat Pagi. Beberapa minggu sebelum perjuangan dan saya bersedia, Saya rasa baik. Mudah-mudahan, Willie akan bersedia untuk berjuang kerana kita akan mempunyai perjuangan yang kukuh dan prestasi yang baik untuk peminat. Saya berjanji pertunjukan drama besar. Saya harap dia bersedia juga. Terima kasih kepada pasukan saya, peminat dan media atas sokongan mereka dan HBO.

Q. Hi, guys. Terima kasih kerana meluangkan masa untuk melakukan panggilan. Soalan saya adalah untuk Gennady. Mei 16 perjuangan anda datang pada masa yang menarik, tepat pada tumit Mayweather / Pacquiao, pertarungan di mana ramai orang-I berani mengatakan kebanyakan orang berkata ia tidak mempunyai tindakan yang cukup untuk keinginan mereka. Adakah anda menonton perjuangan? Dan, apa yang anda fikirkan Mayweather / Pacquiao?

Gennady Golovkin: Ya. Semua orang mahu berjuang untuk lima tahun yang lalu. Saya rasa Floyd terlalu pintar. Ini adalah gaya Floyd; dia tidak mengambil terlalu banyak tembakan. Floyd terlalu pintar, dia seorang peninju yang hebat, dia nombor satu di dunia.

Q. Dan bagaimana pula dengan Pacquiao? Apa yang anda fikirkan prestasinya?

Gennady Golovkin: Pacquiao, Saya fikir dia kehilangan kawalan perjuangan. Dia tidak boleh berbuat apa-apa terhadap Floyd. Pacquiao adalah sangat baik, tetapi ia adalah satu perjuangan yang sangat bijak untuk Floyd.

Q. Dengar, Saya tidak melihat masa lalu Willie Monroe, yang tidak lebih bijak. Saya mengharapkan anda terlalu berbakat untuk dia, walaupun. Jadi, bagaimana pula dengan perjuangan seterusnya, anda terhadap Floyd Mayweather di 154 pound? Saya percaya awak, mungkin, adalah lawan logik seterusnya untuk menguji Floyd Mayweather.

Gennady Golovkin: Sudah tentu, ia adalah perjuangan impian saya. Jelas, Floyd, dia seorang juara yang hebat, dan gaya yang berbeza sedikit. Floyd, dia seorang lelaki yang bijak. Beliau tidak banyak bergerak. Untuk gaya saya, sedikit berbeza, Saya suka drama show, Saya suka perjuangan sebenar, seperti sengit. Saya mahu menunjukkan, persembahan besar; persembahan drama besar!

Q. Dan anda akan membawa persembahan drama yang besar jika anda adalah untuk mendapatkan bertarung dengan Floyd Mayweather?

Gennady Golovkin: Sama sekali.

Q. Cemerlang. Jawapan besar. Saya menghargainya. Semoga berjaya.

Q. Soalan adalah untuk Abel. Abel, bagaimana anda berurusan dengan semua soalan-soalan tentang siapa yang akan datang? Kami hanya mempunyai satu yang akan datang untuk Gennady apabila dia untuk berperang Mei 16, lelaki yang mungkin salah satu orang yang paling cepat anda pernah berjuang. Bagaimana anda menangani ini? Dan, bagaimana anda menyimpan GGG tertumpu kepada tugas di tangan? Tidak bercakap tentang Canelo, dan tidak bercakap tentang Floyd dan segala sesuatu yang lain, 16 Mei adalah pertama.

Abel Sanchez: Baik, nasib baik kita mempunyai profesional sebenar dalam Gennady Golovkin di gym, jadi soalan mengenai orang lain hanya pada jenis panggilan. Di gym, dia semata-mata memberi tumpuan kepada Willie Monroe. Willie Monroe akan menjadi satu cabaran yang sukar, dan kami tidak menghadap kepadanya oleh apa-apa cara kerana jika kita mengambil tersandung di sini, semua nama-nama lain yang bisu.

Jadi, Golovkin adalah tumpuan kepada Willie Monroe, melainkan jika sudah tentu mereka bertanya soalan seperti ini dalam panggilan media, tetapi tidak ada keraguan dalam fikiran saya bahawa kita akan bersedia untuk, mental dan fizikal, untuk 16 Mei.

Q. Satu soalan lagi, jika saya boleh. Rekod gabungan lima lawan terakhir untuk Gennady adalah 165 kemenangan, hanya 15 kerugian. Di mana anda akan meletakkan Willie Monroe di-antara mereka pejuang? Bagaimana anda menilai Dia di antara lepas lima Gennady yang berjuang?

Abel Sanchez: Saya berfikir sejauh kemahiran dan sejauh kemampuan di gelanggang, dia mendapat ke dalam tiga teratas, dan mungkin kedua-dua bahagian atas. Pengalaman, mungkin tidak cukup seperti yang dialami kerana lelaki lain, tetapi Willie telah terbukti dalam pergaduhan lebih besar, Kejohanan Boxcino misalnya, bahawa dia boleh mengendalikan dirinya di gelanggang, jadi dia di sana, seperti saya katakan, satu, dua, atau tiga. A sangat, sangat, pejuang yang sangat baik.

Q: Selamat Pagi, puan-puan. Saya hanya mempunyai dua soalan cepat. Gennady, kita tahu reputasi anda dan resume anda dan keinginan anda untuk melawan, tetapi anda terus mendapat kritikan kerana tidak mengambil pergaduhan yang betul tanpa orang benar-benar meletakkan kesalahan pada orang-orang yang telah bersetuju untuk memerangi kamu. Bagaimanakah yang membuat anda rasa apabila orang mengatakan bahawa tentang anda?

Gennady Golovkin: Saya berasa hebat. Saya rasa baik sekarang. Perjuangan ini adalah benar-benar penting untuk kerjaya saya, dan untuk semua orang, bagi umat-Ku, untuk pasukan saya. Terima kasih banyak untuk orang-orang saya. Ia amat penting bagi saya, perjuangan ini dengan Willie, sekarang fokus saya adalah pada Willie Monroe kerana dia seorang juara yang hebat, dia seorang pencabar yang hebat untuk saya dan dia boleh menjadi juara seterusnya. Setiap perjuangan adalah penting bagi saya.

Q. Dengan memerangi Willie Monroe, dia kidal yang, dan kami telah melihat banyak berkata anda mahu menghadapi bahawa jenis lawan, yang kidal yang. Apa yang anda berharap prestasi ini akan menunjukkan kepada orang menonton anda tentang gaya anda, dan cara anda melawan?

Gennady Golovkin: Saya mahu untuk melawan kidal kerana saya mahu menunjukkan semua orang bahawa saya boleh mengalahkan mana-mana gaya, tidak mengapa. Sesiapa sahaja, lelaki kuat, lelaki tinggi, lelaki pendek, sesiapa sahaja. Saya amat bimbang. Ini adalah ujian besar bagi saya. Saya masih ingat banyak pejuang, seperti Canelo, Masak, dan banyak juara besar telah mempunyai masalah dengan southpaws. Jadi mengapa tidak menguji diri saya.

Q. Abel, Gennady jenis menjawab soalan saya adalah kira-kira untuk bertanya, tetapi apa yang saya rasa dari sudut pandangan seorang pelatih, apa yang anda lihat Willie Monroe membawa ke meja yang Gennady tidak lagi dilihat dalam perjalanan sehingga?

Abel Sanchez: Banyak pergerakan dan slickness dan jika Gennady pergaduhan yang kidal pada masa akan datang adalah lebih bersedia untuk gaya.

Willie adalah seorang pejuang yang terbukti dan kebaikan di, seperti yang saya katakan dalam Kejohanan Boxcino, jadi ia tidak seperti kita berjuang seorang lelaki itu dalam yang tidak pernah berada dalam keadaan seperti ini. Perbezaan ini dia akan pergi dalam terhadap Golovkin dan Golovkin seolah-olah membawa lelaki ini ke tahap yang mereka tidak banyak untuk dia, tetapi jika Willie membawa permainan A beliau, Saya fikir kita sedang melihat lima atau enam pusingan sukar, dan kemudian regangan akan siapa yang mendapat lebih dalam tangki.

Q. Gennady, Saya tahu anda tidak boleh memaksa middleweights lain untuk mendapatkan di gelanggang dengan anda; semua yang anda boleh lakukan ialah hanya melayan. Adakah anda merasa semacam wajib walaupun untuk menjalankan bahagian middleweight sekarang? Seperti, anda lelaki yang semua orang akan melihat sebagai satu middleweight yang akan melawan semua orang.

Gennady Golovkin: Ya. Saya mahu berjuang untuk menyatukan tajuk. Bagi saya, ia sangat penting yang nombor satu; yang terbaik di dunia di bahagian middleweight.

Q. Ya. Ini adalah soalan untuk Tom. Anda berkata dalam intro anda yang anda fikir peminat telah kerinduan untuk beberapa keseronokan selepas apa yang berlaku Sabtu. Sebagai seorang pengasas, ada apa-apa takut tindak balas dalam perniagaan? Dan apa yang saya rasa akan berfungsi sebagai susulan sebagai Gennady akan menjadikannya mungkin muka depan tinju, mungkin dia boleh menangkap beberapa peminat crossover. Yang akan menjadi lebih sukar untuk lakukan sekarang?

Tom Loeffler: Saya tidak fikir akan ada tindak balas yang. Saya rasa ia akan membuat peminat menghargai gaya Gennady lebih apabila mereka melihat apa yang sebenarnya dia membawa ke dalam gelanggang dengan beliau. Dia selalu cuba-Abel melatih beliau dalam gaya untuk memberikan kegembiraan, untuk memberikan nilai kepada peminat, dan saya rasa peminat akan menghargai daripada harus membeli perjuangan ini di bayar untuk ditonton, mereka akan dapat melihat pada HBO, dan mereka akan melihat persembahan menghiburkan dengan Chocolatito sebagai co-ciri, dengan Gennady, dan Willie Monroe Jr. sekiranya utama. Saya rasa ia adalah satu pertarungan yang hebat gaya, dan saya fikir ia akan menjadi satu cabaran untuk melihat jika Gennady menyimpan coretan kalah mati beliau hidup dan itulah yang peminat telah benar-benar datang untuk menghargai.

Mereka tahu setiap kali mereka datang untuk melihat Gennady berjuang hidup, setiap kali dia berjuang, apakah itu Danny Geale, atau sama ada ia Marco Antonio Rubio di Pusat StubHub tahun lepas. Maksud saya, mereka telah menyaksikan pertarungan menarik, dan saya fikir anda akan melihat jenis yang sama perjuangan, dan matchup menarik akan datang Sabtu ini pada 16 Mei di The Forum.

Q. Baiklah. Abel, Soalan yang sama?

Abel Sanchez: Saya berfikir bahawa kita berhutang kepada peminat untuk memberikan hiburan. Saya telah berkata dari awal bahawa saya mahu Gennady menjadi jenis lelaki yang anda berharap untuk meninggalkan rumah / kerja awal pada malam Sabtu untuk dapat menonton semua pra-bahan yang dalam usaha untuk melihat lebih lanjut mengenai Gennady. Saya mahu dia menjadi seperti itu individu di dalam cincin, tidak begitu banyak di luar cincin, tetapi saya fikir bahawa kami mendapat ke titik bahawa sekarang.

Willie membentangkan ujian seterusnya. Mudah-mudahan, selepas Willie, jika semua berjalan lancar pada 16, dan Willie bekerjasama, kita boleh mempunyai nama yang lebih besar, tetapi sekarang ia Willie di hadapan kita, dan kita akan memakai menunjukkan bahawa, atau yang Gennady akan meletakkan di acara itu untuk memastikan bahawa peminat pergi dengan senyuman di wajah mereka dan berharap untuk mengetahui Ia berperang lagi.

Q. Andy Lee terhadap Kid Chocolate bertukar menjadi seri. Anda telah mendapat Miguel Cotto, siapa yang hanya jenis di luar sana mencari pergaduhan besar. Adakah anda mahu kekal di middleweight kerana anda berkata bahawa anda akan turun ke bawah, dan jelas perjuangan besar yang saya fikir jika kita semua dapat snap jari kita dan menjadikannya satu kenyataan adalah anda dan Mayweather? Adakah anda akan bergerak ke bawah sedikit pada berat tangkapan atau kita akan melihat anda bergerak ke atas, mungkin, pergi untuk gelaran middleweight super?

Gennady Golovkin: Ya. Sekarang, tumpuan saya adalah pada 160. Matlamat saya adalah untuk memegang semua tali pinggang. Sama sekali, Saya berharap untuk pertarungan besar dengan Miguel kerana dia mempunyai gelaran WBC, Saya mempunyai tali pinggang interim WBC, dan sudah tentu saya mahu perjuangan penyatuan dengan Andy Lee. Saya rasa dia bersedia dan, sudah tentu, perjuangan impian saya adalah terhadap Floyd.

Q. Selamat pagi di Pantai Barat, semua orang. Tom, soalan ini adalah untuk anda, dan ia sedikit susulan mengenai kerja promoter di tengah-Mayweather vs. Pacquiao. Dengan peminat kasual, mungkin, rungutan tentang kurangnya tindakan, adakah anda fikir yang bersih-menang atau bersih-ditambah dengan keseluruhan bagi sukan tinju dengan perhatian yang besar pada perjuangan yang? Dan, adakah itu menukar pendekatan anda dua minggu berikutan ini serangan media yang sangat besar dan perhatian kepada tinju?

Tom Loeffler: Saya rasa pendedahan kepada tinju adalah bersih-menang untuk itu. Saya rasa peminat mungkin telah kecewa kerana dibayar wang yang banyak untuk benar-benar melihat secara langsung, atau mungkin pada pandangan pay-per-yang; itulah di mana anda benar-benar melihat kekecewaan peminat. Tetapi, Saya rasa, lagi, apabila anda melihat seseorang yang terdedah kepada sukan tinju dan kemudian mereka susulan dua minggu kemudian atau satu minggu kemudian. Anda telah mendapat Canelo datang hujung minggu ini, juga di HBO, dan kemudian dua minggu kemudian anda telah Gennady kembali ke gelanggang, ia hanya mewujudkan lebih daripada satu penghargaan untuk mereka peminat yang terdedah kepada sukan itu untuk yang mempunyai perjuangan yang menarik di gelanggang.

Q. Dan pada susulan, bagaimana anda mengeksploitasi, kerana kekurangan perkataan yang lebih baik, perhatian dan memastikan mereka masih kira-kira dua minggu kemudian untuk melihat apa yang kita pada panggilan semua tahu akan menjadi pertandingan yang sangat berbeza dan sangat menghiburkan?

Tom Loeffler: Baik, kita hanya cuba untuk meletakkan di rancangan terbaik. Apabila Gennady berperang tahun lepas di StubHub, kita mempunyai Nonito Donaire, dan Nicholas Walters sebagai bersama-ciri, dan dengan perjuangan ini, kita perlu “Chocolatito” Gonzales terhadap Edgar Sosa, juga sebagai bersama-ciri, jadi kami hanya cuba untuk memberikan nilai kepada peminat. Mereka telah bertindak balas dengan membuat pembelian dan Gennady mempunyai yang terbesar jualan perjuangan pernah di Pusat StubHub, dan terdapat ramai juara yang telah berjuang di sana sebelum, dan penilaian beliau terus mencerminkan bahawa.

Jadi ia hanya pembungkusan nilai untuk peminat, dan ia hanya lebih ramai orang yang menghargai sukan tinju yang terdedah kepadanya dan kemudian mereka semua mempunyai rasa yang lebih baik apabila anda mempunyai seorang pejuang yang menarik yang mendapat ke dalam gelanggang, dan pada satu ketika mereka akan memilih sama ada mereka membeli tiket atau menala ke gaya yang berbeza.

Dan saya fikir terbukti Gennady bahawa beliau memberikan keseronokan dan setiap kali seseorang menala masuk atau membeli tiket untuk perjuangannya, mereka sentiasa pulang dengan rasa kegembiraan, dan dia membawa banyak peminat untuk sukan itu, peminat baru yang tidak pernah benar-benar pernah ke perlawanan tinju sebelum itu datang ke StubHub, atau pada waktu ia berperang di New York di Madison Square Garden. Mereka datang khusus untuk melihat Gennady dan itu adalah satu nafas baru untuk peminat tinju.

Q. Okay. Soalan cepat untuk anda, Abel, pertama. Gennady mempunyai salah satu yang terbaik peratusan kalah mati nisbah dalam permainan tinju sekarang. Soalan saya untuk anda adalah kadang-kadang dia tidak mendapat kredit untuk gerak kaki beliau yang cemerlang. Ada apa-apa lagi, khusus, yang anda telah dijumpai, atau bahawa anda telah jenis diasah di kem perjuangan dengan dia beberapa minggu terakhir sebelum perjuangan dengan Willie Monroe?

Abel Sanchez: Baik, setiap kem latihan yang kita pergi ke kita mengetepikan beberapa perkara yang kita akan menumpukan perhatian untuk perjuangan tertentu kami telah datang. Bagi Willie, kita mempunyai beberapa perkara yang kita sedang berusaha untuk memerangi beberapa beliau, bukan sahaja pergerakan, tetapi juga cara dia cuba untuk menjadi licin.

Jadi, mudah-mudahan sebab yang diharapkan dalam sepuluh, dua belas pergaduhan, kita meliputi banyak kawasan-kawasan yang perlu dilindungi untuk meningkatkan permainannya. Gennady seorang pelajar permainan. Gennady suka belajar perkara baru, Perhatian sentiasa membayar Gennady ini, jadi ia mudah untuk menunjukkan kepadanya sesuatu dan meminta beliau untuk melakukan sesuatu dan beliau mengulanginya. Dagangan dan saya, saudaranya Max dan saya akan bercakap tentang apa yang ia adalah bahawa kita mahu dia lakukan dan kemudian Gennady melaksanakan dengan cara yang kita mahu ia.

Mujurlah, kem ini kami mempunyai dua rakan berbual sangat baik dalam Julius Jackson dan Raymond Gatica yang memberikan kami kanvas bahawa untuk Gennady untuk mengamalkan beberapa perkara yang kita cuba untuk memperbaiki untuk perjuangan ini.

Q. Telah apa-apa yang berbeza sekarang melawan kidal yang anda rasa seperti anda terpaksa sejenis meningkatkan atau bekerja pada lebih sedikit?

Abel Sanchez: Oh, sama sekali. Willie Monroe bukan satu kidal standard. Dia sangat licin. Beliau mempunyai roda yang sangat baik, jadi ia akan menjadi satu proses cuba untuk melenyapkan dia dan mengamalkan yang di gimnasium dapat melenyapkan dia dan bertindak balas terhadap keadaan, jadi dia melakukannya dengan baik. Dia menyesuaikan diri dengan baik dengan apa yang kita mahu untuk perjuangan ini khususnya, sebagai tambahan kepada perkara-perkara yang kita lakukan pada masa lalu. Oleh itu, kita tidak sabar-sabar untuk malam yang hebat.

Q. Okay. Soalan saya kepada anda adalah, adakah ia sedikit mengecewakan untuk anda kadang-kadang, Saya tahu anda melawan empat kali setahun, lebih kurang, memberikan atau mengambil, anda cuba untuk kekal aktif. Adakah ia mengecewakan bagi anda kadang-kadang apabila anda mula melihat beberapa contoh ini lelaki seperti Miguel Cotto, dia mampu dan anda ingin mencuba untuk mendapatkan untuk melawan beberapa lelaki ini benar-benar baik, dan kadang-kadang ia sukar untuk anda? Bagaimana anda kekal fokus mengetahui bahawa anda mahu untuk melawan sesetengah juara benar-benar hebat, dan ia sedikit sukar untuk anda?

Saya tahu bahawa anda mengatakan kadang-kadang anda ke dalam pejuang Mexico, dan jadi saya menganggap bahawa anda mahu mencontohi kehebatan mereka.

Gennady Golovkin: Saya jenis hanya melihat keadaan saya sekarang kerana hanya saya sudah bersedia. Anda tahu anda betul, sama sekali, itu bukan tumpuan saya. Fokus saya untuk yang nombor satu di bahagian middleweight. Tidak kira berapa banyak pergaduhan setahun, lima, enam, saya ingat, seperti Chavez Sr., banyak juara hebat, setiap bulan kedua dia mempunyai perjuangan yang besar. Bagi saya, sekarang saya sudah bersedia untuk perjuangan yang besar, Saya sedia. Saya tahu saya baru sahaja tahun mungkin pasangan, mungkin tiga tahun, mungkin empat tahun, Saya bersedia untuk enam pergaduhan setahun. Saya sudah bersedia untuk sesiapa.

Q. Adakah Chavez pejuang kegemaran anda Mexico?

Gennady Golovkin: Ya. Chavez, Sr. adalah. Saya suka juara hebat dari Mexico. Saya suka gaya Chavez Sr. ini, seperti bergerak, dan strategi, saya suka ini. Saya suka gaya kerana dia akan melawan sesiapa sahaja dan bila-bila masa. Ia hanya boleh menjadi lima, enam, tujuh kali setahun. Sama bagi saya, Saya sedia.

Q. Jadi, ialah mengapa anda cuba untuk melawan seberapa kerap yang anda lakukan?

Gennady Golovkin: Sama sekali, ya.

Bernie Bahrmasel: Kita akan mengakhiri sebelah Gennady Golovkin ini. Tom, jika anda mahu untuk membuat beberapa komen tutup, dan memberitahu media di mana pembaca mereka boleh mendapatkan tiket?

Tom Loeffler: Sama sekali. Sekali lagi kami semua teruja Gennady kembali ke Southern California 16 Mei terhadap Willie Monroe Jr. Ia akan menjadi di The “Fabulous” Forum. Ia adalah satu bangunan yang besar itu acara yang lebih baik kerana ia telah diubahsuai. Ia seperti sejarah yang besar pergaduhan legenda yang diadakan di sana dan kini dengan kad perjuangan ini datang ke LA. kawasan, Saya rasa kita akan melihat kehadiran yang besar. Kami berharga tiket untuk peminat bermula di $30 dan mereka boleh didapati di TheForum.com, dan juga di TicketMaster.com. Perjuangan terakhir Gennady di LA dijual, jadi kami menasihatkan peminat untuk membeli tiket lebih awal supaya mereka tidak menghadapi masalah yang sama sebelum ini, jika tidak ada tiket boleh didapati.

Bernie Bahrmasel: Abel, anda ingin memberikan media beberapa komen menutup sebelum kita kembali kepada latihan?

Abel Sanchez: Sama sekali. Saya ingin mengucapkan terima kasih atas sokongan mereka dan panggilan mereka dan soalan-soalan mereka. Pastikan anda menonton dan melihat satu lagi perjuangan hebat Gennady dalam perjalanan ke superstardom.

Bernie Bahrmasel: Terima kasih banyak, Abel. Gennady, lagi komen sebelum anda kembali ke latihan hari ini?

Gennady Golovkin: Terima kasih banyak, semua orang. Terima kasih banyak atas sokongan. Terima kasih banyak atas perhatian. Ia adalah benar-benar penting untuk pasukan saya, untuk kerjaya saya, dan saya berjanji persembahan yang hebat, peristiwa besar, hanya dialu-alukan untuk Big Drama Tunjukkan saya. Terima kasih.

Bernie Bahrmasel: Terima kasih banyak, Gennady. Terima kasih banyak, Abel. Pada masa ini untuk media, saya dengan berbesar hati untuk memperkenalkan Artie Pelullo dari Promosi Banner, yang akan memperkenalkan pasukan Monroe. Teruskan, Artie.

Artie Pelullo: Hi, guys. Hello. Selamat pagi kepada semua orang. Saya rasa kenyataan pembukaan yang saya ingin membuat adalah saya ingin mengucapkan terima kasih Gennady Golovkin dan Tom Loeffler kerana memberi Willie Monroe peluang ini. Seperti yang kita semua tahu, Willie adalah nombor dua di dunia, dan sebab mengapa kita berada di sini adalah kerana bagaimana dia lakukan pada 2014 dengan memenangi empat pergaduhan berturut-turut, termasuk kejohanan yang ESPN mempunyai keupayaan dan pandangan jauh untuk memakai dipanggil Boxcino. Dan kemudian Willie pulang dan kemudian memenangi keputusan sebulat suara selepas memenangi perlawanan menentang Bryan Vera, yang kini telah meletakkan dia di status untuk mencabar middleweight yang terbaik di dunia, dan ia akan menjadi satu perjuangan yang sangat menarik.

Ia adalah satu perjuangan yang kami percaya kami boleh menang. Kebanyakan orang tidak berfikir Willie boleh memenangi perjuangan, tetapi kita; itulah sebabnya kami mengambil ia. Dan ia akan menjadi satu perjuangan yang hebat, dan saya rasa Gennady akan menjadi dalam untuk perjuangan yang sangat sukar dengan seorang pejuang yang sangat baik yang boleh melakukan perkara-perkara yang tiada siapa siapa yang berperang Gennady telah dilakukan sebelum.

Jadi, Saya hanya ingin mengucapkan terima kasih kepada Gennady kerana ia adalah satu perjuangan sukarela, dan beliau berkata beliau mahu untuk melawan lelaki yang sukar yang kidal dan ini adalah kidal terbaik di luar sana. Dan Tom Loeffler seorang lelaki yang sangat baik, seorang sahabat kami dan lombong, bukan milik kita, saya, dan mampu untuk membuat perjanjian ini agak cepat.

Saya ingin mengucapkan terima kasih HBO untuk juga untuk meletakkan perjuangan pada kerana Peter Nelson yang membeli perjuangan untuk HBO sedar bahawa ini akan menjadi satu perlawanan yang sangat menarik, dan ketika itu kenyataan pembukaan saya. Saya berterima kasih kepada semua orang. Bernie, yang anda lakukan kerja yang baik, dan kemudian sekarang apa Bernie. Saya rasa, di mana ini-adalah Willie di talian?

Willie Monroe Jr.: Ya, Saya di sini.

Artie Pellulo: Teruskan, Willie.

Willie Monroe Jr.: Saya hanya bersyukur. Saya bersyukur dengan peluang. Terima kasih kepada Banner Promosi untuk meletakkan saya dalam kedudukan untuk berjuang untuk kejohanan dunia middleweight terhadap middleweight yang paling besar di dunia pada masa ini, dan saya diberkati. Jadi, terima kasih kepada Promosi Banner, dan ESPN Boxcino dan HBO. Terima kasih.

Artie Pellulo: Tony, anda ingin mengatakan beberapa perkataan?

Tony Morgan: Ya. Bagaimana anda semua dalam keadaan? Saya hanya mahu mengatakan bahawa kita gembira untuk mempunyai peluang. Terima kasih kepada Tom Loeffler, Promosi Banner, HBO kerana memberi kami peluang ini untuk melakukan apa yang kita lakukan. Terima kasih.

Q. Hi, Willie. Dalam ucapan pembukaan anda, anda disebut Gennady Golovkin, mengatakan anda akan berterima kasih kepada berjuang untuk kejohanan middleweight terhadap pejuang yang dikenali sebagai middleweight yang paling besar di zamannya. Saya hanya ingin tahu jika anda percaya bahawa Gennady adalah middleweight yang terbaik di luar sana hari ini.

Willie Monroe Jr.: Maksud saya, apa yang dia lakukan adalah dia membuktikan dirinya. Dan dia dikenali sebagai middleweight terbaik di luar sana, supaya anda tidak boleh berhujah dengannya, dan jelas, Saya di sana kira-kira dua atau nombor tiga, jadi itu sebabnya saya bersyukur untuk perjuangan ini. Jadi, Saya tidak boleh memancung lelaki ke bawah. Saya tidak akan duduk di sini dan cop dia kerana sekali saya menang, maka saya akan mencincang diri saya.

Q. Hak. Okay. Adakah anda percaya ada apa-apa perjuangan yang anda telah mempunyai, menuju ke ini, yang boleh menyediakan anda? Maksud saya, jelas, Gennady lebih baik daripada semua orang yang anda telah berjuang, tetapi ada apa-apa gaya tertentu yang anda telah dihadapi yang menyediakan anda untuk apa yang diharapkan Sabtu depan?

Willie Monroe Jr.: Saya rasa keseluruhan kerjaya saya dari amatur sepanjang jalan sehingga kini telah menyediakan saya untuk peluang ini. Maksud saya, saya mempunyai 142 pergaduhan amatur, Saya adalah seorang juara kebangsaan tiga kali.

Saya berjuang di Boxcino yang saya maksudkan, Gennady adalah sedikit daripada campuran semua orang yang saya berjuang di Boxcino sepanjang jalan sehingga kepada Bryan Vera. Jadi saya rasa ini adalah kemuncak, dan ia adalah tugas saya untuk masuk dan melakukan apa yang saya lakukan yang terbaik.

Q. Hi, guys. Terima kasih kerana meluangkan masa untuk melakukan panggilan. Menghargainya. Soalan ini adalah untuk jurulatih Tony Morgan. Tony, anda berada dalam berita baru-baru ini, silap langkah sedikit ia kelihatan seperti. Saya tidak pasti keadaan dan khusus, tetapi saya tertanya-tanya telah ada apa-apa gangguan dalam latihan, dan mempunyai barang-barang yang terlibat di semua, dan bagaimana adalah hubungan dengan anda semua? Dan, bagaimana s latihan akan?

Tony Morgan: Flawless. Kami tidak mempunyai apa-apa isu. Semuanya di tangan peguam saya dengan keadaan saya. Keadaan di sini hanya latihan kem dan that's-kami akan pergi melalui dan melakukan apa yang kita lakukan, dan meletakkan kepingan teka-teki bersama-sama, dan menyelesaikan teka-teki yang tiada siapa yang seolah-olah dapat melakukan.

Q.: Hi, Tony. Ia juga merupakan soalan untuk jurulatih. Kita semua berfikir bahawa perjuangan ini akan menjadi kira-kira kelajuan berbanding kuasa, dan kuasa di sisi Gennady, jelas, dan kelajuan, yang sepatutnya menghalang beliau untuk kalah mati tumbukan beliau akan sepatutnya menjadi perkara nombor satu yang paling penting bagi pejuang anda, untuk Willie. Bagaimana anda melihat perjuangan? Adakah kita salah? Adakah kita betul? Beri kami sedikit, sekilas apa yang kita boleh harapkan dari Willie dalam perjuangan ini.

Tony Morgan: Saya rasa perjuangan yang benar-benar akan dimenangi oleh perisikan cincin. Saya rasa apa yang kita bawa ke meja sesuatu Gennady tidak pernah dilihat dan realistik tidak boleh bersedia untuk. Maksud saya, ada benar-benar hanya satu Willie Monroe. Ada dua lelaki, mungkin tiga yang meniru gaya beliau yang sangat cepat, sangat sukar difahami.

Willie mempunyai banyak KO dalam amatur, tidak mengatakan Willie sentiasa pergi di sana untuk menjadi puncher besar, tetapi saya fikir orang akan terkejut kerana mereka dengan Bryan Vera. Saya fikir ia akan menjadi satu kejutan besar bagi banyak orang, bukan untuk kita, tetapi untuk orang lain.

Q.: Dan satu soalan lagi, kali ini untuk Willie. Semua orang-orang rundingan, semua pertaruhan di sekitar Las Vegas dan seluruh dunia dari 60:1 kepada 80:1 untuk Golovkin hanya buletin Lembaga bahan untuk anda? Adakah anda memerlukan motivasi tambahan? Adakah anda menggunakan motivasi sebagai tambahan ini atau anda hanya menolak ini semua maklumat tentang anda yang pada dasarnya-anda pada dasarnya sudah hilang sebelum anda pergi ke dalam gelanggang? Anda hanya tidak memberi perhatian kepadanya?

Willie Monroe Jr.: Maksud saya, selepas perjuangan ini berakhir, dan saya juara WBA baru, Saya akan memberitahu anda semua cerita sedikit, dan memberi anda semua gambaran sedikit kepada kehidupan peribadi, tetapi saya mengatakan bahawa untuk mengatakan ini. Saya telah underdog kerana saya dikandung ibu-ibu saya, dan saya maksudkan yang benar-benar; itu bukan satu bentuk percakapan. Maksud saya yang benar-benar.

Jadi, sebagai underdog yang adalah apa yang saya lauk kerana mereka adalah detik-detik di mana saya bangkit dan jangan-kadang-kadang saya mengejutkan diri saya dengan seberapa baik saya lakukan, jadi saya dalam elemen saya. Jika saya menjadi pilihan, maka saya akan menjadi sedikit bimbang, tetapi menjadi underdog adalah apa yang saya benar-benar menikmati kerana ia mendorong saya untuk melakukan apa yang perlu saya lakukan.

Semua orang adalah berbeza. Sesetengah orang perlu digalakkan dan diberitahu bahawa mereka yang terbaik, untuk menjadi yang terbaik, dan sesetengah orang perlu diberitahu bahawa anda tidak boleh melakukannya, supaya mereka boleh pergi di luar sana dan membuktikan bahawa mereka boleh. Dan saya salah satu dari orang-orang yang sentiasa mencari untuk membuktikan orang yang salah.

Q. Baiklah. Jadi, kursus ini adalah perjuangan besar dalam kerjaya anda dan menjadi fakta bahawa tinju mungkin telah dalam bentuk yang terbaik bahawa ia telah dalam beberapa lama, bagaimana anda merasa tentang menjadi sebahagian daripada masa depan tinju ini, masa hadapan?

Willie Monroe Jr.: Ia satu rahmat. Ini adalah sesuatu yang kita telah berkata sejak saya menjadi pro. Jurulatih saya selalu berkata, saya akan membangkitkan tinju; Aku akan memberi jawab intipati sebenar tinju dan menjadi pandai, di dalam dan juga di luar cincin.

Sekarang, Saya rasa masa yang sesuai. Maksud saya, ia satu rahmat untuk saya. Saya diberkati, dan saya gembira kerana mendapat peluang ini dan ini hanyalah satu permulaan.

Pada akhir hari, itu semua tentang apa yang saya lakukan. Maksud saya, ia tidak kira keturunan atau dari mana kamu datang atau apa nama adalah, itu semua tentang bagaimana anda memohon diri anda dan apa yang anda lakukan di gelanggang dan apa yang anda lakukan di kem latihan yang membawa kepada perjuangan. Jadi, Saya benar-benar tidak cuba untuk hidup dengan apa yang ayah saya dan bapa saudara saya lakukan. Saya mewujudkan legasi saya sendiri, dan kanan saya sendiri, dan sehingga sekarang, Saya telah membuat ia lebih daripada kedua-dua mereka sudah.

Jadi, ia benar-benar apa-apa bagi saya untuk melakukan Ku dengan tidak saya.

Q. Baiklah. Terima kasih kerana panggilan saya. Soalan ini adalah untuk Willie. Dari melihat anda, anda adalah seorang peninju, seorang lelaki yang sangat licin, dan banyak kemahiran teknikal. Siapa yang anda melihat sehingga? Siapa anda corak gaya anda selepas, dari segi sebagai seorang pejuang?

Willie Monroe Jr.: Dua pejuang kegemaran saya, pejuang utama adalah juara, Roy Jones, Jr., dan Sugar Ray Leonard. Sesiapa yang laju dan sangat sukar difahami dan boleh melakukan perkara-perkara fizikal yang pejuang lain tidak boleh tarik off, dan tidak dalam apa-apa cara yang cukup. Mereka adalah lelaki yang saya melihat sehingga.

Hector “Macho” Camacho Sr., Pernell Whitaker, semua orang-orang lelaki yang berada khas, fizikal dan mental khas. Jadi mereka adalah seorang lelaki yang saya suka menonton sepanjang masa dan mencontohi.

Q. Terima kasih banyak, dan hi, semua orang. Willie, ia betul-betul sebelum anda pergi ke kem latihan, kamu telah berada di dengan diri saya dan Gerry Cooney. Anda berkata anda sangat yakin dengan perjuangan ini. Bagaimana kem latihan pergi dan bagaimana anda rasa?

Willie Monroe Jr: Baik kem latihan ini. Kem latihan yang hebat. Saya lebih yakin sekarang bahawa kita berada dalam keadaan tiptop, tetapi saya bermakna segala-galanya adalah baik. Segala-galanya adalah baik. Ini adalah perjuangan yang saya mahu. Ini adalah perjuangan saya berkata saya mahu selepas Boxcino.

Banyak orang yang membayangkan bahawa oh, anda mesti mendapat dibayar wang yang banyak. Maksud saya, ini adalah perjuangan saya meminta. Apabila semua blog dan temu bual yang berbeza, mereka bertanya kepada saya apa middleweight anda ingin berjuang? Saya berkata Gennady Golovkin. Maksud saya, dia yang terbaik. Jadi, anda sama ada pergi keras atau pulang ke rumah.

Jadi, Maksud saya, baik segala-galanya. Camp adalah besar. Saya seronok. Maksud saya, hanya tanya diri anda yang jurulatih saya, maka anda tahu bagaimana latihan yang baik kem akan. Saya mendapat jurulatih terbaik di dunia.

Q. Okay, dan mari kita lihat, mari kita kembali kepada gangguan, Leon Spinks atas Muhammad Ali, Buster Douglas lebih Mike Tyson. Ini benar-benar akan dapat melihat kerana GGG sudah pasti dalam dua bahagian atau tiga pound untuk pound di dunia. Jika anda menang perjuangan ini, ia akan menjadi salah satu kejutan terbesar ke atas lalu 30 tahun atau lebih. Bagaimana anda melihat ia?

Willie Monroe Jr.: Saya melihat dengan cara yang sama, dan anda perlu. Maksud saya, melihat apa yang dia dicapai sebagai seorang pejuang; 19 KO lurus. Dia membuat debut di Amerika 2012, dan dia tersingkir semua orang setakat ini. Dan saya maksudkan seperti mengapa tidak anda mahu untuk mengambil jubah yang mereka kebal dari seseorang? Dan, Maksud saya, Saya salah satu yang boleh melakukannya.

Tetapi, Maksud saya, sekali cincin loceng, dan pada 16 Mei tiada siapa yang boleh masuk ke sana dan berjuang untuk dia, tiada siapa yang boleh masuk ke sana dan berjuang untuk saya, itu semua tentang apa yang kita dikenakan dan apa yang kita menyesuaikan diri pada malam itu dan boleh kemenangan lelaki terbaik.

Q. Awak mendapatkannya. Soalan akhir. Adakah anda kecewa dengan perjuangan yang besar malam lain, Mayweather dan Pacquiao?

Willie Monroe Jr.: Tidak benar-benar kerana saya tahu ia akan menjadi seperti itu. Ia salah satu segi gaya matchups di mana anda hanya jenis tahu apa yang akan berlaku, dan saya gembira ia dilakukan dan lebih dengan, supaya orang boleh berhenti bercakap.

Q. Terima kasih banyak. Ini adalah satu soalan untuk Tony. Tony, Saya tidak akan meminta anda untuk memberikan apa-apa rahsia latihan anda sebelum perjuangan, tetapi kamu menyebut-ada sebutan dalam memimpin sehingga bahawa anda akan membawa sesuatu yang berbeza untuk perjuangan. Biar saya memasukkannya ke dalam syarat-syarat ini. Menonton lawan sebelum Golovkin ini, adakah anda mengenal pasti apa-apa kesilapan yang anda fikir Willie boleh membetulkan dalam perjuangan ini?

Tony Morgan: Saya berfikir bahawa Golovkin membuat banyak kesilapan. Saya rasa dia beatable. Saya fikir mana-mana lelaki itu beatable jika anda membawa pelan yang betul ke meja, tetapi yeah, kita akan mengambil kesempatan ke atas kesilapannya dan saya tidak mahu mengatakan kita akan mendedahkan dia kerana dia adalah seorang pejuang yang hebat, tetapi kita akan mendedahkan Willie. Kami akan mendedahkan apa yang benar-benar adalah Willie, dan apa yang dia benar-benar mampu melakukan.

Q. Dan Tony, pada anda susulan kepada soalan, dan itulah jawapan yang besar. Soalan ini telah benar-benar bertujuan lawan Golovkin dan kesilapan mereka yang mungkin anda dapat sekarang untuk mengelakkan? Jadi, telah anda melihat juga apa dan Geale ini yang Murray dan ini Macklin dunia, Adakah mereka yang melakukan apa-apa yang anda fikir anda dan Willie boleh mengelakkan?

Tony Morgan: Seratus peratus, semua daripada mereka adalah cukup banyak semua rata berkaki dan mereka semua berdiri di hadapan Golovkin. Lambat atau cepat, dia mendapat orang untuk berdiri di hadapannya. Saya tidak fikir dia akan dapat mengambil kesempatan ke atas apa-apa yang dia digunakan untuk melakukan kerana dia tidak pernah berperang sesiapa yang berkaliber Willie Monroe.

Saya tidak mengatakan bahawa kami menewaskan semua orang yang ada di luar sana. Kami tidak mempunyai nama seperti yang dia lakukan, tetapi gaya yang membentangkan Willie adalah gaya yang yang ditiru oleh orang lain, benar-benar.

Bernie Bahrmasel: Artie, kita akan teruskan dan mengakhiri panggilan jika anda mahu untuk membuat komen penutupan anda dan mempunyai Tony dan Willie menyertai anda, yang akan menjadi hebat.

Artie Pelullo: Pasti. Dengar, sekali lagi, Saya berterima kasih kepada semua orang untuk memberi Willie peluang. Saya rasa Tony dan Willie berkata dengan betul, dan kita semua tahu bahawa ia akan menjadi satu perjuangan yang besar. Kami akan memenangi perjuangan, dan itulah bagaimana keyakinan kita terhadap keupayaan Willie ini. Tetapi jika ia bukan untuk Tom Loeffler dan Gennady Golovkin dan HBO memberi Willie peluang ini, kita tidak akan berada di sini.

Jadi, Saya hendak mengucapkan terima kasih kepada semua orang. Kami akan berada di luar sana di luar sepanjang minggu, jadi tidak banyak berlaku. Willie akan disediakan untuk melakukan wawancara satu lawan satu, akan ada senaman terbuka, dan hanya ingin mengucapkan terima kasih kepada semua orang kerana mempunyai kita dan ia akan menjadi persembahan yang hebat. Ia akan menjadi satu perjuangan yang sangat baik. Ia akan menjadi lebih daripada orang ramai menyedari apa Willie boleh lakukan, dan ia akan menjadi satu persembahan yang hebat, dan saya berfikir bahawa Gennady Golovkin tahu bahawa, dan saya fikir dia mengambilnya dengan serius.

Jadi, sekali lagi, terima kasih, semua orang, dan saya akan menyerahkannya kepada Willie dan kemudian Tony. Teruskan, Willie.

Willie Monroe Jr.: Saya hanya bersyukur dengan peluang ini dan seperti Artie mengelak untuk, anda perlu berterima kasih kepada GGG dan kem kerana perjuangan ini dan untuk memberi Willie peluang, diri sendiri, Willie Monroe, peluang untuk tango dengan yang terbaik, dan saya gembira, jadi terima kasih Tom Loeffler, terima kasih pasukan GGG. Dan yang lebih besar terima kasih kepada pasukan saya untuk percaya kepada-Ku dan meletakkan dalam kerja tujuh minggu lalu. 16 Mei adalah menunjukkan masa.

Danbury Fight Night Card Set For May 30

Mei 7, 2015 FNU47 Tinggalkan komen

Danbury, CT (Mei 6, 2015)– Pada 30 Mei Prize Promotions presents their first professional boxing card, Danbury Fight Night, taking place at the Danbury Arena, di Danbury, CT. This action packed card is loaded with some of Connecticut’s fastest rising stars, and will be headlined by the much anticipated return of former amateur sensation, and undefeated professional Tramaine “Mighty Midget” Williams.

Williams (8-0 2KOs) out of New Haven, CT, turned pro at the age of 19 after a stellar amateur career, winning his first 8 pro fights in under a year and a half. Legal issues in 2013, halted Williams’ fast track to stardom. After over a year and a half layoff, Williams is set to make his return and reclaim the momentum and buzz that he created as a teenager. Promoter A.J. Galante was happy to give Williams a second chance.

“People make mistakes in life, big or small, especially kids. I’m a firm believer in people can learn from them, and I’m big on second chances. I’m proud to be the one to give Tramaine a second chance in boxing, when not a lot of people were willing to. I sat with him, we spoke, and I saw a kid look me in the eye and I saw that he was sincere about getting back on the right track. I’m hoping by giving him a second chance, he will make the most of it, and fulfill his promise. I’m certain a big performance 30 Mei will catch the eyes of everyone in the sport, which will only lead to more opportunities for him. There is no doubt whatsoever if he can keep his life outside the ring intact, he will be a World Champion,” said Galante.

Williams certainly won’t be coming back after a long layoff with a soft touch, he will be taking on Josh Bowles (9-1, 1KO) out of Harrisburg, PA in a 6 round featherweight attraction.

Also featured on the card will be New Haven’s Nate “The Great One” Green (7-0, 2KOs) as he takes on tough veteran spoiler Timur Shailezov (17-9-1, 4Ini KO) from Kyrgyzstan, currently residing in Philadelphia, PA

Galante made clear that he has not signed Williams, Green, or any boxer for that matter to promotional contracts, but he noted there are requirements to fighting under Prize Promotions, “My vision is to give guys opportunities that could springboard them to bigger and better things. I’m looking to actually promote the sport the old fashioned way, and put together exciting 50-50 matchups. I think anyone who fights on my card should be recognized as a throwback fighter, and someone that wants to really become great. My matchmakers Russell Peltz, Brittany Rogers and I have not put any soft matches together. Fans can look at this lineup, and realize it’s nearly impossible for there to be an upset, because all these bouts, top to bottom, are equally matched. Everyone fighting on 30 Mei understood from the start that they have to fight tough competition, because in the end, it will only bring the best out of them and they will actually grow as a boxer from their matches. Plus the fans deserve it.”

This all action night of Professional boxing will also feature some of Connecticut’s most exciting and promising prospects. New Haven’s exhilarating Josh Crespo (3-2-2, 1KO) akan mengambil Edgar Cortes (1-0) in a four round Featherweight bout.

Bridgeport ini Oscar Bonilla (3-0-2) meletakkan rekod tanpa kalah di atas garisan terhadap Andrew Bentley (2-2-0) in four round Lightweight bouts.

Heavyweight Fan favorite and former University of New Haven Basketball star Cassius Chaney (1-0 1KO) of New London, recently signing with powerhouse promoter Main Events, will make his second appearance in a professional boxing ring, after picking up a TKO win in his debut April 17, against an opponent to be announced in a four round bout.

In what could potentially be the fight of the night, Veteran Richie “Kid Brasil” Neves(8-2-1, 4KOs) of nearby Hyde Park, NY akan mengambil Gilbert Alex Sanchez (5-6, 2KOs) Camden, NJ in a Super Welterweight bout scheduled for six-rounds.

The night will also feature three highly anticipated debuts from charismatic Light Heavyweight “Fly” Mike Marshall dari Bronx, former amateur standout, Super welterweight Mike Rue Las Vegas, by way of Columbus, Ohio, and decorated amateur Saso Leskaroski of Macedonia.

Tiket: $100, $75, $50, $25 – boleh dibeli di www.prizepromotions.net or call 203.544.2WIN.

MILITARY VETERAN IN BATTLE OF NATIONAL HONOR AT NEF XVIII

Mei 7, 2015 FNU47 Tinggalkan komen

UNTUK SIARAN SEGERA: Lewiston, Maine (Mei 6, 2015) - New England Melawan (NEF), Nombor satu promosi perjuangan serantau Amerika, akan mengadakan kelapan belas bercampur seni mempertahankan diri yang (MMA) acara, “NEF XVIII: Dibuat di Amerika,” pada Sabtu, Jun 13, 2015 di Colisée Androscoggin Bank di Lewiston, Maine. Awal hari ini, promosi mengumumkan penambahan bantamweight pertarungan profesional untuk kad perjuangan. “Shatterproof 2.0” Derek Shorey (2-1) will make his debut in the 135-pound division against Canadian Jeremy DiChiara (1-0).

Shorey is a fitting choice to face the native Ontarian on the patriotic-themed event. A 2000 graduate of Foxcroft Academy in Dover-Foxcroft, Maine, where he won a Class-C state wrestling title in 1998, Shorey is a veteran of the United States Navy. He served four years of active duty in the branch, and did a tour of Iraq as a member of SEABEE Battalion NMCB 27.

Currently the head coach of the Shatterproof Combat Club, Shorey is coming off a victory over John Raio (2-7) bulan lepas di “NEF XVII.” The win gave Shorey the upper hand in the three-fight rivalry between the two athletes dating back to their amateur days. While he has gotten off to a good start to his professional career, Shorey will be the first to admit he has more work to do, and the upcoming battle with DiChiara will be a real test of his skills, especially on the mat.

“It is truly an honor to fight in front of the NEF fans and represent this rapidly growing brand against a very dangerous opponent,” kata Shorey. “I feel that I still have a lot to prove to the fans, as well as myself in regards to the fighter I’m becoming, and distancing myself from my amateur days. Jeremy is an undefeated purple belt in Jiu-Jitsu, which everyone knows has been my biggest weakness. I see this as an opportunity to show everyone that I’m fixing the problem, and hand a very game opponent his first loss.”

Holding a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), DiChiara will undoubtedly test Shorey should the fight go to the ground. DiChiara is undefeated in MMA competition, having gone 2-0 as an amateur and now 1-0 sebagai seorang profesional. He is accustomed to fighting in hostile territory with previous bouts in Michigan and half a world away in Thailand. While in Thailand, DiChiara trained with Phuket Top Team. He is presently a member of Canadian team Wulfrun MMA.

Laporan Fight: Ozgul and Khan Secure Titles In York Hall Thriller

Mei 7, 2015 FNU47 Tinggalkan komen

Report by: Gianluca (Sungai) Di Caro

Mari kita hadapi itu, with the amount of column inches dedicated to Mayweather-Pacquiao over the past few weeks, you could easily be forgiven thinking that there were no other boxing events that took place on May 2^nd.

Baik, there was another fight card, and I’m pleased to say that I was at that event – the Mark Lyons and Billy James-Elliott promoted Lords of the Ring event at the iconic York Hall in London.

OK, admittedly York Hall in Bethnal Green doesn’t have anywhere near the cachet of being at such a mega fight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, but when it comes to drama and excitement, sorry you just can’t beat small hall boxing, especially when it’s at York Hall.

When the event was announced it was due to feature fourteen bouts, but immediately after May-Pac was announced a significant number of the bouts were cancelled, as the fighters wanted to be ringside in Vegas, then in the final build up further fights were off the card, due to injuries, leaving a seven card fight show on the night, or was it.

The card was further reduced on the day, after one of the fights was cancelled on safety grounds – due to a 5kg difference in the weight between the two debuting fighters – and if that wasn’t bad enough Manny Muhammad’s opponent, Rafael Snow failed to turn up, leaving just five fights on the night.

First up was a six rounder between Liverpool based Russian hot prospect David Agadzhanyan, against Czech Republic’s Josef Redlich, who stepped in at the last minute to save the bout, following Ghana’s Isaac Owusu being forced to pull out due to illness.

It took Agadzhanyan just forty five seconds to send Redlich to the canvas for the first time and about the same again to put him down a second time.

Redlich was plain outclassed so no surprise that when he went down for the third time that referee Ken Curtis decided to call a halt to proceedings on the two minute and twenty five seconds mark.

I’ve seen Agadzhanyan in action a couple of times, including the excellent win over then unbeaten Daniel Bazo back in March, so was really looking forward to seeing him in action against Owusu, a tough uncompromising former Ghanaian Champion and Commonwealth title eliminator challenger, but that’ll have to wait until later this month when the rescheduled bout takes place in Liverpool.

Next up was WBF Inter-Continental Champion Paul Economides, dalam bukan kejuaraan enam bulat, against another late replacement, Czech Republic’s Petr Gyna, following former British Champ Andy Bell pulling out the week prior and then the original replacement pulling out just two days before the show.

Economides is another class act, so no surprise that Gyna was on the canvas within just thirty seconds, on the restart Gyna decided that attack is the best form of defense, however in taking the fight to Economides he played straight into his hands, literally as Economides punished him with a big right, that sent the Czech down to the canvas for a second and final time, on the one minute and twenty five second mark.

With both the opening fights finishing early and the live TV broadcast not due to start until 9pm, the promoters had no option but to have quite long interval before the next bout, a six round Light Heavyweight contest between Champions TKO’s unbeaten Hackney based Turkish prospect Onder Ozgul and the entertainer himself Jody Meikle.

Throughout the first four rounds Ozgul just walked Meikle down, letting rip with massive right hands at every conceivable opportunity, Meikle is as tough as they come and seemed content to absorb the punishment dished out by the man dubbed ‘Little Mike’ by the Turkish fans.

Ever the joker, Meikle played down the punishment he was taking, happily playing to the crowd, as well as infuriating his opponent, by pulling faces and insinuating that there was no power in the Turkish lads shots, however by the fact that Meikle had toned down his antics, clearly showed that Ozgul shots were indeed having the desired effect.

Meikle toned down the playfulness of his tactics even further in the fifth, as Ozgul stepped up his attacks, putting even more power into his shots.

Right from the start of the sixth it was clear that Ozgul was intent on punishing Meikle even further, backing the Scunthorpe man onto the ropes before letting rip with big double handed flurries, one of which, a cracking body shot, literally knocking the wind out of Meikle and forcing him to take to one knee.

On the restart Ozgul went in for the finish, this time Meikle went defensive, no further playing to the crowd, to see it through to the final bell.

After six highly entertaining rounds Referee Ken Curtis scored the bout 60-53 in favour of Ozgul.

I thoroughly enjoyed the fight, I know it wasn’t a classic, but boy oh boy it was very entertaining.

The fourth bout of the night see Bradford’s Tasif Khan in Championship action for the first time, against Georgia’s Mikheil Soloninkini, for the International Masters Silver bantamweight title.

Khan started fast, boxing beautifully behind his jab the Bradford man kept his slightly more experienced foe on the back foot for the majority of the bout.

By midway point Khan slowed the pace slightly, at the same time keeping the pressure on Soloninkini, however about midway through the sixth, during a routine exchange Khan was a little slow bringing up his gloves, leaving an opening for the Georgian to let rip with a big right, which sent Khan to the canvas.

On the restart Soloninkini went full out in attack, Khan remained calm and got behind his jab again, the Georgian was well hyped and continued to come forward at pace before throwing huge bombs.

During these skirmishes Khan sensibly grabbed hold until referee Lee Murtagh issued the order break. This tactic worked and Khan was able to clear his head enough to turn control back round to himself.

Khan had his hands full for the final three rounds though, as Soloninkini had the bit between his teeth and was pushing hard, however Khan is a cool character and seemed content to box of the back foot each time the Georgian made a forceful foray.

After ten rounds of excellent boxing, the judges scorecards read – Ken Curtis 99-94, Obie Garnett 98-90 Matt dan Hamilton 98-91, all in favour of Tasif Khan.

Jennifer Burton, the Northern Region Secretary of the Malta Boxing Commission, presented the familiar blue International Masters belt to the victorious Tasif Khan.

Have to say I thoroughly enjoyed the fight, even though it was quite one sided for a lot of the time, let’s face it that’s not a statement on the quality of Soloninkini, as his pedigree is well known, this kid’s a tough nut to break, as proved by having taken Jamie Williams the distance, when they fought for the Bronze Masters back in March, as well as fought the sensational Charlie Edwards a couple of weeks later, but to my mind the one-sidedness of the fight as well as the result shows just how good Tasif Khan fought.

The headline fight of the night see a rematch between Champions TKO’s unbeaten Hackney based Turkish prospect Siar Ozgul, yep brother to the aforementioned Onder, against Nottingham’s Matt Scriven and this time there was a Championship on the line – The MBC International Welterweight title.

When these two first fought, back in October last year, it was an out and out war, Ozgul won but the rounds were so close it could have been a very different result.

The bout started in a very similar manner to their October showdown, neither man wanting to concede any ground, however just before the end of the first round Ozgul let rip with a massive right to Scriven’s body, which forced the Nottingham man to cover up to see the round to it’s conclusion.

The shot to the body must have really hurt Scriven as he seemed more intent on defense, rather than full on attack, from the start of the second, a pattern that remained for the rest of the bout.

Ozgul made most of the running throughout, however Scriven more than held his own during the many skirmishes that ensued, although have to admit he was a little more cautious than during the opening round.

After ten rounds of superb boxing the judges scorecards were read out – Lee Murtagh and Matt Hamilton scored the bout 100-90 and Obie Garnett 100-88 all in favour of Siar Ozgul.

This was followed by the presentation of the MBC International belt to Siar Ozgul by his fellow Champions TKO gym mate and the current MBC International Super Bantamweight Champion Marianne Marston.

All in all I thoroughly enjoyed the event, especially the final three bouts, however I was a bit disappointed that some of the planned fights, such as those featuring Iain Weaver, Antonio Counihan, Mark Prince, George Hillyard and the aforementioned Marianne Marston, failed to materialize, because to my mind if they had taken place I feel this almost certainly would have been one of the best shows at York Hall this year, as it was it still was a highly enjoyable and entertaining evening of pugilistic action and a fitting prelude to the May-Pac fight, which promoters Mark Lyons and Billy James-Elliott arranged for the boxers, their teams and attendees of the event to watch live via satellite at a private function room.
