Резултатите беа 116-112 на сите тројца судии’ scorecard.

Fighting for the vacant WBC Welterweight World Title in the first Премиер бокс шампионите (PBC) на Фокс Настанот, Guerrero came out aggressively in the first four rounds using a solid jab and strong over hand left hands to control the action.

Garcia acclimated well to the pressure in the fifth round, finding his range and using potshotting right hands to halt the oncoming Guerrero. The theme would play itself out during the second half of the fight as well with Garcia dominating the action. Уреди со покажувач на борба лизгање далеку, Guerrero came on strongly in the final round with both combatants fighting to the bitter end as the crowd stood and roared with approval.

Said Garcia following the victory, “It was what I expected. I knew I would win at least eight or nine rounds. I knew there would be some head butts in there. He head butted me so much on my forehead.

“I was throwing my combinations, using my legs like my dad told me to do. I knew he was going to come to fight. He’s a rugged warrior. I’m back where I belong. I am now a two-division world champion.

“Guerrero is tough. No one has ever stopped him. Тој дошол да се бори; he was in shape. I’m taking nothing away from him. I am glad it went the way it went. I just want to take some time off, let my body heal and take one day at a time.”

Father/trainer Ангел Гарсија рече, “I thought it was a good fight. There were a lot of head butts. He is a dirty fighter. На крајот на денот, Danny pulled it off, it doesn’t matter what people say.

“I knew Robert was going to be at 100. It was a world title fight. Anytime it is a world title fight, no one is going to slouch. When you come to fight a former champion or champion, it’s going to be a battle. These are elite fighters and there is always going to be a great fight.”

Stated a disappointed Guerrero, “I want a rematch and that’s it. Not one person out there thought Danny won, but his team. I pressured him, I nailed him, busted his body up. Јас

out-jabbed him.

“I thought I won the fight. The crowd thought I won the fight. Тоа беше голема борба. I am happy I’m healthy. ќе се вратам.

“It’s all for the fans. That’s why they bring me back. They love it and they enjoy it. They were entertained tonight. They thought I won the fight.”

Continued Robert’s father and trainer Рубен Гереро, “”I know we won it. He kept running and holding, running and holding. How are you going to win a fight when you run and hold every time?

“We wanted to win every round and I think we won every round. Сакам реванш. That wasn’t fair. I want a rematch as soon as possible.”

Punch stats showed Garcia with a wide margin of power shots landed, 33 percent to Guerrero’s 24 проценти.

In a 10-round welterweight battle, “Наредник” Семи Васкез of Monessen, Pennsylvania improved to (21-0, 15 КО) with a sixth round stoppage of Aron Martinez, (20-5, 4 КО) of Michoacan, Мексико.

Peppering Martinez with a piston like jab, Vasquez controlled the action using his full skillset to

score points at will against the slower Martinez. Staying the aggressor through round four and five, Vasquez continued to beat Martinez to the punch using a battering right hook.

to a left elbow injury.

Said Vasquez, “Of course I won the fight, but Martinez is a tough competitor, a tough Mexican fighter. I tried to mix it up with him a little bit, but there was no sense in me trying to do that. I could have easily outboxed him, which I started to do, but I wanted more. I was just starting to warm up.

“A victory feels good of course, but I wanted more. I wanted to go 12 рунди, if it would have lasted that long. I wanted a very decisive win. За жал, he got hurt, but every fight is a learning experience for me.

“It’s on to the next chapter and I’m ready for all of the guys at the top. На крајот, I’m going to get them.”

A disappointed Martinez stated, “I hurt my elbow. I couldn’t throw my jab. I started to feel it in the third round. The doctor stopped it.

“I was doing okay. Not my best. I tried, but once I hurt my elbow, I knew it was going to be tough to continue.”

2012 U.S. Олимпиец Доминик “Проблеми” BREAZEALE, (17-0, 15 КО) на Glendale, California and Амир “Хардкор” Мансур, (22-2-1, 16 КО), Филаделфија.

with Mansour in particular throwing caution to the wind.

Swinging wildly Mansour dropped Breazeale early in the third stanza, badly shaking the former

college football quarterback.

Меѓутоа, Breazeale confidently kept his composure, fighting his way back in the fourth. With Mansour apparently running out of gas in the fifth round Breazeale went to work, drilling the

muscular southpaw with battering uppercuts and hooks on the inside.

Following the fifth round, Mansour bit through his tongue and cited a jaw injury (which was not broken) and could not continue as the valiant Breazeale was awarded the well-earned victory.

Said a happy Breazeale, “I didn’t know what happened. Usually when they wave off a fight, it’s over. Shows I have punching power after all.

“I’ve been on the canvas before. I just had my hand in the wrong place. I knew I could get back up. Јас сум во одлична форма. It happens to the best of us.

“I’m a fighter at heart and I wanted to just get in there and brawl, but I new I had to stick to the game plan and box him.”

“This is another fight that is going to make me a bigger star. Како што се Сабота ноќ, I will be at my best.

“I’ve had 31 професионални борби. A lot of them have been big fights. This is another fight to me. There’s nothing you can say that gets to me.

“I feel like I represent all the Latino people. Not just Puerto Rican-Americans or Mexican-Americans. I’m excited to go out there and show everybody a great fight.

“I’m not the kind of person that talks a lot. I like to speak with my left hand and my right hand.

“На крајот на денот, all the fans want to see is good fights and they’ll appreciate that.

“I always go for the knockout, but we’re ready for a war.

“Јас не се стави било притисок врз мене. I just go in there and take it one fight at a time. I’m not thinking about my record when I step in the ring, I just want to get the job done round-by-round.”

АНГЕЛ GARCIA, Таткото на Danny & Обучувач

“We left 140-pound as the champ and now we’re looking to do the same at 147. When you come to fight Danny Garcia for a title, you better come 100 проценти подготвена.

“We know Guerrero is going to be ready and we know what he brings to the table. We have an answer for everything he’s got.

“Јануари 23, it’s going to be for all Latinos in L.A. and all of America. Danny is going to be the welterweight world champion.”

“Having the world title on the line just adds fuel to the fire. We’ll find out Сабота night how it all plays out.

“We’ve been training hard. We derailed off the tracks a bit, but we went back to square one in camp, back to what got me here in the first place. We put it back together.

“Going up against an undefeated fighter adds motivation to my drive. I want to defeat the undefeated guy, especially with this opportunity. I want to raise everybody’s eyebrows.

“We’re not going to let the fans down. If the opponent doesn’t come to fight, Јас ќе. That’s just the way I am. Whenever somebody watches me it’s always exciting.”

RUBEN GUERRERO, Robert’s Father & Обучувач

“We’re going to show the world. We’re warriors. We come to fight. The fans are going to love this fight.

“It all depends on if Danny comes to fight. I’ll give him credit if he does. They’re going to find out where Robert is at after this fight.

“Robert is a full-fledged welterweight. We’re coming in light and ready to go.

“I don’t get heated. I’ve been there before. I just say it as it is. Whatever comes out of my mouth comes out. They better be ready, because we’re ready. Angel Garcia better be ready to throw in that towel, because Danny is going to take a beating.”

“My time in the military helped turn me into a man. I joined at a young age and it’s made me the person I am today. Boxing in front of thousands of people is an honor and I’m going to enjoy it.

“We’re here to take care of business come Сабота ноќ. Hopefully I can keep fighting people above me in the rankings. This is a great stepping-stone for me. Eventually we want one of these guys in the main event.

“Boxing died out in Pittsburgh a little bit until Paul Spadafora brought it back a little bit. I’m trying to be the next one. I’m a fun guy to follow for a lot of reasons and I just want to make myself known.

“I made it through two tours all in one piece and there are a lot of people who weren’t as lucky. To be able to give anything back is truly special.

“We have to shine во саботата ноќ. This is our chance to show that we belong. Being able to stop Aron Martinez would put me on a bigger stage.

“I don’t know where I’ll be at on the welterweight scale if I get this win. But I’d love to fight either Danny Garcia or Robert Guerrero. Time will tell. I intend to fight for a world title by the end of the year.”

“Every fight gets harder and harder. We’ve had a great training camp and we’re ready to brawl. Expect a good fight во саботата night and expect some fireworks.

“I thought I won the fight with, Robert Guerrero but it’s boxing. You have to move on and use it as motivation the next time you’re out there.

“This is my backyard. I started my career here and it’s a great opportunity for people to get to see me. I want to put on a great show.

“Vasquez is like any other fighter. Only thing special is that he’s undefeated. He doesn’t want to lose that but nothing worries me about him. This will be tougher than my last two fights, but we’re ready.

“I think we’re going to steal the show. Тој е непоразен, a southpaw and he definitely doesn’t want to lose. It’s my hometown though, so I’m going to put up a good fight and make it a war.”

“It’s been a great training camp. Мојот тренер, Manny Robles, has done a great job. He’s worked on helping me establish my jab and got me ready for a very tough fight.

“I talked to Gerald Washington myself and he said he let it slip away in his fight against Mansour. The first four rounds he was really controlling the range. It’s definitely something that I’ve been studying.

“Во тешка категорија поделба, everyone can throw punches. Anyone who believes I’m not tough enough will be proven wrong Сабота. Mansour is a really experienced guy and I’d like to knock him out and put on an exhibition.

“I’ve got the age on him and I’ve got some height and weight. I have a great pedigree and he has the pro experience. He’s been in a lot more rounds than I have but I’ve been in a lot of tough fights.

“My heart is definitely set on Charles Martin after this fight. After pulling out of the fight and everything that happened there, that’s on my mind after this fight.

“Mansour is a big, aggressive guy so we’re ready for anything he can bring. My athletic background will help me as will my mind because it’s all about making adjustment in the ring.

“You’re not going to see me hanging out on the ropes because I’m going to move around the ring. My skills will be the difference.

“Тоа е остварување на сонот да се бори во Стејплс центар. I’m so close to family and friends. It’s going to be a livelier fight week than I’ve been in before.

“I always try to turn it up around the third round. I never look for the knockout, but I’ll turn it up and try to hurt him.”

“I let my trainers watch the opponent, they give me the game plan and I take it from there.

“Нема притисок. I know how to transform everything that we do in the gym into the ring and block out all the pressure.

“My team knows a lot about Dominic. My team has helped me get prepared for what I need to do to get this victory.

“I can’t sit here and say I’m not nervous, everyone is nervous before fight day. You have to embrace that and overcome that. Ова е мојот сон, this is where I want to be and this is my moment.”
