Presentert av Premier Boxing Champions

 

BROOKLYN (August 23, 2018) – There is no looking ahead to future fights for top 147-pound contenders Yordenis Ugás of Cuba and Cesar Barrionuevo of Argentina as the two sluggers prepare for their WBC title eliminator matchup in SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING action on Saturday, September 8 leve på SHOWTIME (9 pm. ET / 6 pm. PT) fra Barclays Center, the home of BROOKLYN BOXING™ and presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

The winner of Ugas vs. Barrionuevo earns the WBC’s second mandatory position to the winner of Garcia vs. Slitasje.

 

 

 

Billetter til direktesendingen, which is promoted by TGB Promotions and DiBella Entertainment, in association with DSG Promotions, starter på $50 og er i salg nå. Tickets can be purchased at ticketmaster.com, barclayscenter.com, eller ved å ringe 800-745-3000. Tickets can also be purchased at the American Express Box Office at Barclays Center. Gruppe rabatter er tilgjengelig ved å ringe 844-BKLYN-GP.

 

 

 

Ugas, (22-3, 11 KOs), returns to the SHOWTIME stage for the second time. In February, he handed Ray Robinson his first defeat since a 2010 decision to Shawn Porter. Barrionuevo, (34-3-2, 24 KOs), making his U.S. debut, har vunnet 10 fights in a row and has only lost once since 2010 as he looks to follow in the footsteps of Marcos Maidana and Lucas Matthysse, elite welterweights from Argentina.

 

 

 

Here is what the 32-year-old Ugas and 29-year-old Barrionuevo had to say from their respective camps about their September 8 matchup:

 

YORDENIS UGAS

Samlet, how is your training going in Las Vegas and who have you sparred with?

 

 

We have been training at Fernando Vargas’ gym, the Feroz Fight Factory gym. We’ve been sparring with Jose Benavidez Jr. and Diego Magdaleno, and a few other locals. Nothing is really different with this camp compared to others. Jeg er 100 percent committed to training for this fight.

 

What are the advantages of training in Las Vegas?

I’ve been in Las Vegas for the past two and a half years. This place has changed my life. I came out here and started training with Ismael Salas, who has trained many of the best Cuban boxers. There is such good sparring out here, and there’s also mountains. I love running up Mount Charleston. This is just a perfect place for a fighter to train.

 

How are you preparing to face a southpaw like Cesar Barrionuevo?

We are sparring with lefties and trying to mirror exactly what we think we’ll see. The Argentine fighters always come to fight and are well prepared. They always go to war. Luckily I like to go to war too. So I think we have good styles that will give the fans a great fight.

 

What else do you know about your opponent?

I’ve seen some footage and that’s it. It’s not really about what he does or brings, it’s all about staying focused on what I do best. I don’t take much time off so I’m always in the gym training. I did go down to Miami a few weeks ago and actually trained in Barrionuevo’s gym and met some guys he works with, but we never crossed paths.

 

You are returning to fight on SHOWTIME for a second time. Does that give you an advantage?

Everyone who knows boxing knows I’m the more experienced fighter. This is one of his first times he’s fighting outside Argentina. I know he’s a big deal there, but he’s never seen a stage like this, with all the bright lights. I’m going to be prepared for the best Argentine fighter that shows up that night.

 

What is your prediction of the Garcia-Porter fight?

I think they are two great fighters and whoever is the most prepared on that night will win the fight. Because this is a WBC eliminator, I know there’s a chance I could fight one of them if I win my fight. I would love to fight either of them.

 

CESAR BARRIONUEVO

How is your training camp going in Miami and who have you sparred with?

Technically, everything is strong and with my coaches Carlos [Morgan] and Pablo [Martinez] we feel good about where we are and what we’re doing. I want to be 100 percent ready on September 8 for the fight of my life. I feel like I will be and am so grateful for the support of my team and everyone here at Caicedo Sports’ gym. I have been sparring with a bunch of local prospects, young guys with undefeated records and guys that are in the same boat as I am looking to become a world champion.

 

How are you preparing for an aggressive fighter like Ugas?

I’m formulating my plan and intensifying my training so I’m 100 prosent klar. I’m focusing on my cardio and increasing my strength. That’s why I’m here in the U.S., because the level of competition is better than back home. I feel that everything I’m doing is a step up. I’m having the best training camp of my life. I’m not worrying about my opponentsstyle.

 

What do you know about your opponent?

We have watched some film, but that doesn’t always help you. Split-second adjustments will be made if needed. I’m a fighter at the end of the day, and will be ready for whatever he puts in front of me. I have never met him, but I know he came and worked out at my gym. I don’t know him, but maybe after the fight we can be friends. Right now it’s kill or be killed.

 

What are your thoughts about fighting on the big stage at Barclays Center?

I know I have a huge fan base in Argentina and can’t wait to go back there and celebrate a win with them. I’m so proud of all the past world champions that have come from my country, but I’m not coming to Brooklyn as a tourist. I’m coming to fight and get the victory in spectacular fashion and to put Argentina back on the map in the sport of boxing. The objective is to look good and win and to leave a good impression fighting on SHOWTIME and for everyone watching.

What is your prediction of the Garcia-Porter fight?

It’s a tough fight. Maybe 50-50, but I’m leaning toward Danny Garcia. I think his experience as a world champion will show.

 

Is it hard not to look ahead to a possible future fight with one of those guys?

I haven’t thought about it for even one second. I’m focused on my next task, and that’s Ugas. I’m coming to do what needs to be done to get the win. And I’ll get that win with blood, sweat and tears. I’ll focus on Danny Garcia or Shawn Porter when the time comes.

Porter was joined by his father and trainer, Ken Porter, as the two discussed the highly-anticipated welterweight showdown presented by Premier Boxing Champions. Here is what the Porters had to say Wednesday:

 

SHAWN PORTER

 

 

 

I love being in training camp and grinding every day. We’re just 100 percent focused on what we have to do. I’m seasoned enough where I know how to excel through these stages of camp. Jeg føler stor.

 

 

 

We always work on the jab to start our training session. Everyone knows that everything I do comes off of my jab. It’s all about the fundamentals. My dad is smart and knows my athletic potential is there. He’s focused on all the technical and strategic parts of the game.

 

 

 

Whether we look to box or not will be a game-time decision. We’ll have to read the fight. I think we’re going to start trying to mix it up and then take it from there. It’s up to me to see the adjustments and make them. Whatever it takes to win this fight, I am prepared to do it.

 

 

 

Danny’s counter-punching I think plays into my hands. I’m a combination puncher. There’s more than one coming. If there is only one coming, you don’t know where it’s coming from. I think it’s going to take care of Danny’s strength, but I don’t take it lightly. I know that he’s a strong fighter and that’s what I expect in the ring.

 

 

 

I don’t believe that he’s going to stand toe-to-toe with me, but I do believe that’s where he thinks he can win the fight. The point is to hit and not get hit, so we’ll try to keep it as clean as possible. It gets rough in there sometimes, but if you can’t handle the heat, get out of the kitchen.

 

 

 

Once upon a time I probably would have that thought that I could just beat Danny with activity. But I know that I have to be sharp, precise and land most of my punches. I want to throw 60 a round and land 40 prosent.

 

 

 

I’m going go out there and be aggressive, be sharp, be quick and let the rest take care of itself. This is a humungous fight that I’ve been looking forward to for a long time.

 

KEN PORTER, Shawn’s Father & Trener

 

 

 

Any fight that Shawn is in, you’re going to have action. If Shawn went in there and laid back, I doubt that Danny would go after him. I just don’t think Danny is going to go forward like that.

 

 

 

We have to continue to do what we’ve done to get this far. But we’re not going to go after him the way he expects us to.

 

 

 

Danny is trying to pump himself up like he’s some kind of one-punch knockout artist. But I’m a one-punch artist if it’s against someone who can’t box anymore or who’s coming way up in weight. If you hit Shawn Porter with one of those punches, he’s going to hit right back, and with Shawn, it’s going to be more than one.

 

 

 

My focus is on making sure that Shawn is prepared to do the things I need him to do. I have to get him where I need before I focus too much on what Danny is going to bring. We’re making sure Shawn is 100 percent first.

HVA: Showtime Sports® Emmy-award winning reporter Jim Gray sat down with the fathers of Danny Garcia og Shawn Porter as the two former world champions prepare to meet September 8 for the vacant WBC Welterweight World Championship on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING.

 

Angel Garcia og Kenny Porter, who both also serve as their sons’ trainers, are asked by Gray how they react when they watch their sons take punishment in the ring.

 

 

 

“As a dad, I have to separate the boxing,” Angel Garcia said. “So when Danny’s in there I’ve got to look at him as a coach. I can’t look at it as a dad.”

 

 

 

Said Kenny Porter: “As a former boxer, I felt what it’s like to be in that ring… So I feel differently when he’s in the ring. I have a more competitive spirit towards winning than maybe someone who’s kid is in there and they’re looking at whether the kid is getting injured. I’m looking at it like, let’s win.”

 

 

 

Gray gets Porter and Garcia to open up about challenges, regrets and the aspirations they’ve carried for their progeny both in the ring and outside of it. “I do [have regrets],” Angel Garcia said. “I said my faults. I’m not perfect.”

 

 

 

Angel called himself the “most underrated trainer” in boxing today, and Danny the “most underrated fighter.”

 

 

 

At the end of the interview, Kenny unveils a Garcia “DSG” T-shirt that reads: “Showtime Destroys Garcia” and both fathers shared a big laugh.

 

 

 

Live coverage of the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast begins at 9 pm. ET / 6 pm.

Ugas (22-3, 11 KOs), som ble født på Cuba, og bor nå i Las Vegas, is one of the busiest boxers in the sport and a consensus top-10 fighter in the welterweight division. Etter å ha mistet en enstemmig beslutning om å Amir Imam i 2014, the 32-year-old Ugas took a year off from boxing, moved up to 147 pounds and came back on a tear. I løpet av en 12 måneders periode fra august 2016 til august 2017, Ugas vunnet fem strake kamper, slipe av øverste kandidatene og prospekter inkludert Jamal James, Bryant Perrella, Levan Ghvamichava, Thomas Dulorme og Nelson Lara. Ugas has added two more stoppage victories in 2018, including February on SHOWTIME when he handed Ray Robinson his first defeat since a 2010 decision to Shawn Porter.

 

 

 

I’m very excited to be part of such a great card,” Ugas said. “This is a huge opportunity to put myself in position to fight the best fighters in the welterweight division and that’s my goal. Jeg vet ikke mye om min motstander, but he is a power punching Argentine and I have to be 100 percent ready come September 8. This will be my second appearance on SHOWTIME

 

CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING and I look forward to making another huge statement. I’m going to close the show in New York like my friend, Yankeescloser Aroldis Chapman.

 

Barrionuevo (34-3-2, 24 KOs) has devastating one-punch power and is wildly popular in his native Argentina, where he has held regional titles while stopping seven of his last nine opponents. Barrionuevo will make his U.S. debut on September 8. The 29-year-old has won 10 fights in a row and has only lost once since 2010 as he looks to follow in the footsteps of Marcos Maidana and Lucas Matthysse, elite welterweights from Argentina. Barrionuevo, som er rangert som Nei. 6 av WBC på 147 pounds, was previously scheduled to face Abel Ramos on Aug. 3 in Las Vegas before taking the opportunity to fight Ugas in this title eliminator.

 

 

 

I am proud to be fighting in the United States and fighting on SHOWTIME is a dream come true,” said Barrionuevo. “Argentine boxing has a long history of great champions from Carlos Monzon to Sergio Martinez and most recently Marcos Maidana. I am looking to become one of those great Argentine fighters of this era and it starts on September 8. I bring the power and the heart of my country with me and expect all the Argentine flags to be out at Barclays Center.

 

Kownacki (17-0, 14 KOs) has become a must-see attraction amongst the large contingent of Polish boxing fans in his hometown of Brooklyn and will return to fight at Barclays Center for the fifth time on September 8. The 29-year-old has steadily climbed up the rankings, having most recently knocked out then once-beaten heavyweight Iago Kiladze in Brooklyn in January. Prior to that win, the undefeated heavyweight scored a dominant stoppage of Artur Szpilka last July on Long Island in a matchup of top Polish heavyweights.

 

 

 

It’s exciting to be back in the ring on SHOWTIME to showcase my skills,” sa Kownacki. “It will be another step to reach my goal of becoming the first Polish heavyweight champion. I am training hard in preparation to fight Charles Martin. It will be an amazing night in Barclays Center. I’m hoping Barclays Center will be covered in white and red.

 

 

 

Født i St. Louis, Martin (25-1-1, 23 KOs) captured the IBF Heavyweight World Championship in January 2016 via a third round TKO against Vyacheslav Glazkov at Barclays Center on SHOWTIME. The 32-year-old scored knockouts in 21 av hans første 23 before losing in his first title defense against Anthony Joshua in the UK. Martin trains in Big Bear, California and has since scored two knockout victories on his way towards a matchup with Kownacki that could move him closer to another shot at a belt.

 

 

 

I don’t want to talk about fighting, I just want to get in there and show off my skills,” sier Martin. “For this fight I asked for the toughest opponent that I could get. I’m not worried about who is in front of me. I will be ready on September 8.

Til tross for å tjene seieren i kommanderende mote, Spence mener fortsatt han har plass til å forbedre. “Jeg kan fortsatt forbedre mye på forsvar min,”Sa ubeseiret verdensmester. “Jeg må bare holde perfeksjonere mine ferdigheter og holde framdrift. Du kommer til å se en bedre Errol Spence neste gang jeg får i ringen.

 

 

 

“Alle vet at jeg har ventet på‘litt tid’Thurman,”Sa Spence, ser fremover til en mulig forening kamp med WBC og WBA weltervekt verdensmester Keith Thurman. "Siden jeg var 15-0 I’ve been calling this guy out and he keeps making excuses. La oss få det på. Han har to av beltene, og vi har begge store navn. Det er en enkel kamp for å gjøre, og jeg vil ha det.”

 

 

 

Peterson, som kjempet tappert mot yngre Spence, respektert avgjørelsen av sin trener til å stoppe kampen, “Hvis han ber meg om å kjempe en million mennesker, Jeg vil. Hvis han ber meg om å slutte. jeg skal stoppe. Jeg vil aldri spørsmålet hans avgjørelse. Jeg vet at han har mine beste interesser på hjertet.”

 

 

 

“Det var veldig vanskelig, men hvis du vet Lamont, du vet at han ikke hadde tenkt å gi opp,”Sa trener Barry Hunter. “Jeg måtte stoppe det. På slutten av dagen, dette er min sønn her. Det finnes ikke noe mer verdifullt enn hans velvære. Hvis det kommer til ham eller vinne, Jeg plukker ham. Jeg bryr meg om ham.”

Back-og-tilbake bout så to dyktige krigere bo i lommen og ser til å gjøre skade fra innsiden.

“Det var en tøff kamp, han er en tidligere verdensmester for en grunn,”Påske fortalte Gray. “Vi har gjort det vanskelig å prøve å motvirke slag. Han var ikke kaster mye og det gjorde det vanskelig for meg å jage denne fyren rundt.

 

 

 

“Jeg kunne ikke få knockout, men vi fikk seieren, og det er alt som betyr noe. Jeg visste at han kom til å kjøre en gang han følte min makt. Han ønsket bare å fange og holde hele kampen.”

 

 

 

Ser fremover, Påske laget hans intensjoner klart som han søker forening kamper i nær fremtid, “Jeg ønsker å kjempe vinnere og forene disse belter. Kamper som dette er ikke i min game plan. Jeg er klar for Mikey Garcia og Jorge Linares å signere kontrakten.”

 

 

 

En misfornøyd Fortuna har også snakket med Grey, “Publikum vet hva som skjedde her. De buet fordi de vet at jeg vant denne kampen.

 

 

 

“Hvis han er en mann la oss kjempe igjen på 135-pounds,”Sa Fortuna, who failed to make weight on two attempts Fredag, noe som medførte at påsken i beltet ikke ville være på linje. “Jeg vil definitivt gjøre vekten. Jeg ville ikke gi meg selv nok tid til å trene.”

 

 

 

Ubeseiret lett tungvektskonkurrent Marcus Browne (21-0, 16 KOs) gjort kort prosess med Francy Ntetu (17-2, 4 KOs) i SHOWTIME Championship Boxing prelims handling, as he dropped and battered his opponent early to force referee Arthur Mercante to stop the bout at just 2:15 fra den første runden. Kjemper for sitt 12th time at the Barclays Center, den 27 år gamle Staten Island innfødte holdt sin plettfritt rekord intakt ved å utnytte sin mektige venstre hånd på overmatched Ntetu.

 

 

 

Browne etablert sin dominans fra start, landing en ren hand venstre som falt Ntetu halvveis i runden. Montreal, Québec opprinnelig var aldri i stand til å gjenvinne hans føtter og fant seg selv cornered mot tauene bare tretti sekunder senere. En kryssild av kraftige kombinasjoner landet på forsvars Ntetu forlot dommeren med lite annet valg enn å stoppe kampen med 45 sekunder igjen i rundt tall én.

 

 

 

“Vi jobbet for denne seieren. Han gikk inn i en sikker skutt og jeg gjorde ham betale,”Sa Browne. “Den overhand venstre fanget ham, og det var begynnelsen på slutten for ham. Jeg visste at han var såret.

 

 

 

“Jeg trenger en verden tittel skutt. Jeg er klar til å ta på noen av vinnere. Jeg har ikke noen preferanser. Jeg er glad jeg satt sammen en flott forestilling her på Barclays Center. Jeg kommer til å holde bedre før jeg virkelig blitt Mr. Barclays Center.”

 

 

 

kreditt, som flyttet opp mot lyset tungvekt divisjon for denne kampen, hadde en hard tid håndtere Browne kombinasjon av fart og kraft på vei til den andre tapet av sin pro karriere.

 

 

 

"[Browne] er meget eksplosiv, Gratulerer til ham,” Said Ntetu. “Han er rask, han er smart, og jeg hadde ikke forvente seg å være så eksplosiv. Han fikk meg med sin høyre hook og en rett venstre.

 

 

 

“Jeg var i nok form til å kjempe for 10 runder. Dette er ikke min vektklasse, men jeg ønsker ikke å lage unnskyldninger.”

 

 

 

I åpningen anfall av SHOWTIME MESTERSKAP BOXING prelims, ubeseiret Adam Kownacki (17-0, 14 KOs) delivered a brutal knockout of Iago Kiladze (26-2, 18 KOs) ved 2:08 of the sixth round of their heavyweight matchup. Kownacki, født i Lomza, Polen, men kjemper ut av Brooklyn, New York, hatt støtte fra sin hjemby mengden som han stadig hadde Kiladze ned.

Til tross for en blodig nese som Kownacki led i første runde, den polske tungvekt begynte å helle den på og dekk Kiladze med en rekke uppercuts og en-to kombinasjoner i fjerde runde. Den actionfylte bout kom til slutt da Kownacki koblet på en kombinasjon av to uppercuts og en høyre hånd som sendte Kiladze på ryggen i det siste minuttet av den sjette runden. Etter en lamslått Kiladze tilbake til sine føtter, Dommeren Shada Murdaugh kalt kampen på forslag fra ringside lege.
