ERROL SPENCE JR.
“Aquesta baralla significa tot per a mi. I still have a chip on my shoulder. I want to be the last man standing. I want to beat the top fighters in my division. Lamont is the one standing in front of me, so it’s fight time.
I think it’s going to turn into a war. A lot of people have thought this would be an easy fight for me. But if you follow Lamont Peterson, you know this will be tough. He’s always in great shape and has a lot of skills. IT might be a dog fight and that’s what I wanted. He’s the guy who wanted to fight and I said of course. It’s going to be a rugged fight. Later on in the fights, he always gets rough and stands toe-to-toe.
There might not be a lot of talking and bad blood between us, but you know that the two of us always give a great fight for the fans.
I had to wait for my title defense and then I had a lot of guys not answer the call for this fight. I have a belt and I still have to call these other guys out. Lamont Peterson answered the call like a real fighter.
In a perfect world I’d be unifying with Keith Thurman this year. I’m going to fight three times this year though. You don’t get time back. I’m ready to strike now.
I’m just excited to fight. M'agrada lluitar. I can’t wait to be in front of those bright lights in front of the fans. Brooklyn is a great place to fight and my family from the area can come see me live. I can’t wait to display my skills.
A true champion can’t fight everybody who calls them out, it’s still a business. But a true champion fights other champions, especially when they’re available. You can’t avoid questions and try to delay a fight. You fight the next champion that’s available, that’s what a true champion does.
Lamont Peterson
When I got into boxing, I had goals. First I wanted to be a National Champion, then a world champion as a professional, but the ultimate goal is to be in the Hall of Fame. With that being my goal, I wouldn’t put myself in that conversation yet. With wins over a guy like Errol Spence and the other top welterweights, I think I’m right there in it. That’s my goal and I’ll give it my all to get there.
If you left it to me I’d fight every month. That’s how much I love the sport. I know a victory would help me get in the ring even more often. Sometimes if you lose at the top level, other top guys don’t want to take a chance against you. I can fix all of that this weekend
I don’t worry about any negativity. My resume is written in the history books. All I can do is respect the opinion of others and work hard to get this win.
I’m excited and looking forward to the skill level that’s going to be displayed this weekend. It’s going to be a rough fight for sure. But I look forward to the technique and skill level. Defense, offense and transitioning between the two. That’s the part of boxing that I love.
Errol even taking the Kell Brook fight was impressive to me. Most guys in his position take their time leading up to the first title shot, but he ended up fighting someone in his prime in his country. To will himself to that win was very impressive.
When you get to the big stages and those big fights, you have to win more than you lose. I think if I can win some big fights these next few years my career will be in a good place.
Robert Easter
I have no concerns fighting a southpaw. I made my last fight hard, but this time I’m going to use my reach, my feet and my speed to dominate.
I’m looking for a great performance. This is going to be the best Robert Easter the fans have ever seen. We prepared to dominate this fight.
Javier Fortuna is an accomplished fighter but I don’t know too much about him. I know what I came to do. I’m a world champion and everyone knows what I bring to the fight game. I won’t leave without my strap.
I’m ready to fight the best in this sport. I want to become the man at this weight and I know I have to beat the other champions to do that.
Boxing is all about showing you’re the best and fighting the best. I just want to fight these other champions in my weight class. I’m looking to stay healthy in 2018 and remain on top.
JAVIER FORTUNA
I have no excuses on Gener 20. I hope he doesn’t either. I will be taking that title to the Dominican Republic for my fans. I’ve been dreaming about it and I will take it.
I have the style and the skills to beat Robert Easter. I know how to make sure his height does not affect me at all. Everyone will see it on fight night.
I’ve prepared myself very well. I have a plan to win every round. If he’s able to stand there, I’m going to break him down round by round.
I am fighting for more than just myself and that is why I’ll be successful. I am going to prove that I’m truly one of the top fighters in the sport.
Robert Easter is a fighter I respect, but I believe I can defeat anyone in front of me. If he takes me lightly, it will go even worse for him. I’ve been training hard to make sure I’m at my absolute best on fight night.
A win would be great for my country, my fans and my family. Winning this title is everything for me. That’s why I’m here and I will not be stopped.
Derrick James, Entrenador de Spence
I started training Errol about nine years ago but I never really knew just how special he was until about a year or so into our training. I thought Olympics were definitely possible, because I didn’t want to look too far ahead. Now that we’re here, I think he can beat any of the top guys. I want him to be undisputed welterweight champion just like he wants to be.
I never worry about comparing Errol to other guys in the sport. He’s a hard puncher who breaks ribs and breaks faces. The longer the fight goes, the more pain he inflicts. I’ve never seen anybody who punches that hard.
I think Lamont knew when he moved up to welterweight that this fight would be a possibility. It’s time for us to go to work because I know Lamont and Barry Hunter are working on a game plan. They have a great team and I know Lamont will be ready for what we bring.
Barry Hunter, Entrenador de Peterson
We stay in the gym all the time. We didn’t have to deal with the weight monster this camp. Weight issue can really derail a camp leading up to a fight of this magnitude. We didn’t have to deal with any of that.
There are several different things in Errol’s arsenal that I think we can exploit. Errol will make adjustments though, so I think strategy will be a key in this fight.
Lamont has always been a coach’s dream. He’s the type of athlete that you would love to coach. He does everything a coach asks of him. He will train until he passes out. All he wants is to work hard and compete.
Lou DiBella, El president de DiBella Entertainment
This is a great night for boxing. The first January date of the year drums up a lot of excitement and we expect a great turnout en dissabte nit al Barclays Center. It’s going to be a great crowd and an exciting night from top to bottom.
“Errol Spence Jr. is one of the best young fighters in the world testing himself against another great fighter in Lamont Peterson It’s the best fighting the best. Lamont Peterson is a guy with a tremendous resume. Si algú creu Errol va a prendre a la lleugera Lamont, estan equivocats i que serien massa.
“Tots dos d'aquests combatents esdeveniment principal tenen la sort de tenir entrenadors que són veritables mestres. Són vella escola i dos dels millors. Derrick James i Barry Hunter coneixen el joc dins i per fora.
“Robert Pasqua és una bèstia, que té abast, la capacitat de potència i la boxa. S'enfronta a un tipus en Javier Fortuna que és un ex campió del món de confiança. Javier ha estat parlant d'un gran joc. Està parlant de forats cecs. You want to see a guy come into a fight like this with that kind of confidence.
This year in boxing is starting out just like last year started, at Barclays Center with a great, even matchup like Badou Jack vs. James DeGale last year.
STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Vicepresident Executiu & Gerent General, SHOWTIME Sports
In terms of representing the sport, you don’t get any better than Errol Spence Jr. and Lamont Peterson. The professionalism of these guys is unmatched and they represent the best of the sport. I’m proud to have them on the network.
You can’t play boxing. You have to be dedicated and passionate. Those values are going to be reflected in the ring en dissabte.
This is a special fight. These are the best in the sport. They’re both top 10 nois. Errol Spence Jr. has grown up on SHOWTIME.
He made his pro debut on ShoBox and won his first world title on SHOWTIME. This is Lamont’s eighth appearance on SHOWTIME and he has one of the strongest resumes in the sport.
Robert Easter and Javier Fortuna is another matchup of top 10 nois. What we’re doing here is special. This isn’t just another network doing boxing, this is the cream of the crop.
BRETT Yormark, CEO of Brooklyn Sports & Entreteniment
I’m really excited about Dissabte nit. We’ve been very fortunate to host the first big event of the year. There’s an appetite to get back into the game and we’re happy to be hosting it.
I want to welcome back Errol and Lamont to Barclays Center. Both have been there before and we’re thrilled to have you back. We’re pleased that Robert has finally decided to take his show to Barclays Center and give the fans a performance. Last time Javier won at Barclays Center he won his world title and we’re happy to have him back.
We’re going to create something great here in Brooklyn and it continues en dissabte night at Barclays Center.

També en l'assistència a la sessió d'entrenament va ser el germà de Peterson, once-beaten contender Anthony Peterson, que competeix en acció del respatller a la Gener 20 esdeveniment.
Això és el que els participants havien de dir d'entrenament dijous:
Lamont Peterson
“Em sento molt bé. Ja estic a prop de pes. Estic feliç i menjar fins a cinc vegades al dia. Em sento fort i estic a punt per aquesta baralla.
“He de mirar això només una altra gran baralla que realment. Quan estàs a la part superior, intenta no fer massa de cada baralla. Sabem el que està en joc. Jo sé que quan que sigui senzill, això és quan realitzo millor.
“En aquest moment el meu cos se sent millor que mai. Estic còmode amb tot el que ha passat al camp i crec que es pot veure en el meu cos.
“Sempre he entrenat dur des del primer dia que va arribar aquí com un nen. Això s'ha inculcat en mi des de molt aviat i m'ha portat al llarg de la meva carrera.
“Tot el que faig és per D.C.. Estic tractant d'obtenir la major quantitat de reconeixement per a aquesta zona la millor manera possible. Això és el que tots busquem en aquest gimnàs. Aquest és el més gran que ha estat en el programa durant un temps i estic a punt per portar a casa.
“Es fa més fàcil i més fàcil com més baralles de campionat Estic en. Jo estava en forma per tots ells, però definitivament posar més pressió sobre mi mateix quan era jove. He millorat cada vegada i ara em sento com si estigués realment en el lloc perfecte a la meva carrera.”
ANTHONY PETERSON
“He de fer una declaració. Mai em sento còmode amb la decisió. Crec que és una bona cosa perquè he de ser especial sota els llums brillants.
“Tothom sap que m'agrada anar al cos. Vostè sap que vaig a fer-li treballar perquè pugui mirar cap a fora per a mi per trencar el meu oponent cap avall en el Gener 20.
“He estat espàrring amb una varietat de combatents experimentats en l'últim any i m'han ajudat a terme fins i tot encara que no he tingut una baralla. anell d'òxid és tot mental,. És a vostè per posar el treball.
“No he rebut les baralles que jo vull, però sempre em quedo amb el meu joc i s'adhereixen al meu ofici. Sé que si perseverar, les coses sortiran bé per a mi.
“Jo sé que estimo aquest esport. Jo sé que amb el temps vaig a ser campió del món. Crec en el meu futur i estic mirant endavant a grans baralles.
“És inspirador veure Lamont fer de les seves i tenir èxit. Ell va a vèncer a Errol Spence, fins i tot si la gent no ho creuen. Crec que va a tenir cura dels negocis.”
Barry Hunter, Entrenador de Peterson
“Ha estat una llarga rutina en el camp per a aquests nois. Quan penso en el temps que hem estat en aquest viatge, Estic molt orgullós d'ells. eren 9 i 10 quan per primera vegada van entrar al gimnàs.
“No tenim el monstre de pes per fer front a la lluita contra al pes welter. Lamont es troba en un gran lloc mental i físicament. Estic desitjant que arribi a una baralla explosiva.
“Quan ens fixem en la lluita Spence-Brook, des del principi Brook tingut molt èxit. A la recta final Errol va imposar la seva voluntat i es va trencar cap avall Brook. Sé Errol bé i jo li he entrenat. Ell té una forta voluntat. Ell no és gran en una àrea, però és bo en moltes àrees. Es tracta d'un tipus diferent de persona que està davant. Cor és una cosa que està molt lluny de Lamont curt en. Crec que això podria començar tàctica, i després convertir-se en una guerra.
“La meva feina és anar-hi amb part d'un pla, però sempre es tracta d'ajustos per a nosaltres. Qualsevol que sigui Errol posa sobre la taula, que ho esbrinarem i posar tot en moviment.
“Aquesta última setmana és un munt de pla de joc i el treball la preparació mental. Una gran quantitat de combatents no entrenar la ment. Has de entrenar la ment fins i tot més que el cos. Hem d'estar preparats per a tots els escenaris.
“Crec que si Anthony entra allà i fa la seva feina hi ha alguns títols vacants en les 140 lliures i això és una pista per a nosaltres. Volem obtenir una corretja al voltant de la cintura i anem a enfrontar a ningú per aconseguir-ho.
“Lamont, juntament amb Anthony, Gary Russell Jr., Jarrett Hurd i Gervonta Davis, s'han mantenint premut la boxa en aquesta àrea durant molt de temps. Seria enorme per portar aquest títol a casa. Hi ha una gran quantitat de joves Lamont Peterson en aquesta àrea que volen arribar a aquest nivell. Seria un far de llum que brilla baix i mostrant aquestes persones el camí.”

Això és el que Spence i el seu entrenador, Derrick James, havia de dir Dimarts a partir d'R&R Boxing Club a Dallas:
ERROL SPENCE JR.
“Tots els que han vist a lluitar abans sap que no serà una baralla avorrida. Fins i tot si es tracta d'un sol costat, que sempre va a estar ple d'acció. Gener 20 Serà una tremenda baralla i vaig a posar en un gran rendiment. Tinc la intenció de dominar.
“Defensar la meva títol a Brooklyn serà especial. Tinc família a Nova York també, així que significa molt que seré capaç de defensar al Barclays Center. Nova York és una ciutat de boxa pel que realment aprecien campions i coneixen l'esport.
“Estic emocionat d'estar lluitant contra un tipus com Lamont Peterson. No estic lluitant contra un lluitador regulars sense nom. Ell va a treure el millor de mi perquè ell és un veritable lluitador. Això fa que l'experiència sigui encara millor.
“El primer lloc en l'esport és realment en joc ara i ja vaig per ella. No m'importa que he de enfrontar o quan, Vaig a ser l'últim home de peu. És per això que tots ens en aquest esport. Estic molt confiat en mi mateix.
“Lamont i jo tenim un gran cor i crec que tothom serà capaç de veure que al ring. Els dos som combatents intel·ligents pel que podria haver alguna sensació a terme abans que aconseguim anar. Però jo esperava que fos una baralla de gossos.
“Aquesta comunitat a Dallas és molt important per a mi. Quan jo era
créixer aquí no hi havia boxejadors professionals d'aquí que jo vaig poder veure com un model a seguir. Una vegada que tingui els recursos per donar volta, és important fer-ho. M'encanta estar al gimnàs i ajudar els nois molt joves i donar-los alguna cosa per aspirar.”
Derrick James, Entrenador de Spence
“Errol es veu molt bé en l'entrenament. Ell té un gran enfocament. Ell està molt orientat als detalls i va teclejar a ser la millor versió de si mateix. La determinació en la seva cara em fa saber que vol deixar tot el possible i assegurar-se que tot segueix el seu camí en la nit de la baralla. Vam guanyar la baralla al gimnàs no en el ring.
“Errol ha de mantenir aquesta mentalitat d'entrar en aquesta lluita i més enllà, i sap que. Guanyar un títol no és el que vol. Ell vol ser campió indiscutit de pes welter. És molt objectiu orientat i crec que va a arribar a aquesta meta. Ell no accepta un no per resposta. Ell va a empènyer a si mateix fins al límit i assolir els seus objectius.
“Lamont Peterson és molt enginyós i intel·ligent al ring. Ell és un tipus dur massa. Aporta que la fortalesa mental que es necessita per tenir èxit. Hem d'estar arribant a aquesta lluita 100 per cent i estar concentrat tot el temps. Si no ho fem, és possible que es queden curts.
“He de ser la millor versió de mi mateix massa. Intento ser millor i millor cada baralla i cada dia al gimnàs. Jo sé que he d'estar al cim de tot el que podria succeir. Barry Hunter és un dur, entrenador intel·ligent que aporta molt a la taula. Lamont té un gran equip. És un plaer i un honor enfrontar-se a ells en el ring.”

Això és el que els combatents havien de dir sobre la seva gener 20 enfrontaments i més:
Robert Easter (20-0, 14 KOs) – Fent la tercera defensa del títol lleuger de la FIB Mundial
“Aquesta lluita sense dubte pot donar un bon to per a mi en 2018. Vaig a estar fent una declaració amb aquesta lluita. Els meus últimes tres baralles que no han aconseguit un nocaut. Jo vaig a estar donant meus fans i els fanàtics un bon espectacle.
“Vaig a utilitzar el meu abast i durada i destruir aquest tipus des de l'exterior. Durant tota la meva carrera he estat lluitant contra els nois més curts. Cada tipus baixet no lluita contra la mateixa. Però s'obté en l'anell i que ho sent i fer ajustos.
“No hi ha res en particular que he de preparar per a la Fortuna. Tom cada baralla la mateixa. Cada lluitador lluita diferent perquè pugui obtenir d'allà, sentir-lo i fer ajustaments a mesura que avança. No estic preocupat per ell de ser un esquerrà. M'he enfrontat a un munt d'esquerrans en la meva carrera i en els aficionats. Això és cap problema en absolut.
“Crec que el que em fa el boxejador més perillós en aquesta lluita és tenir l'altura del que faig i la potència dels seus cops i la velocitat i la manera de pensar, així. La meva forma de pensar és que jo no vaig a entrar-hi per jugar amb ell. Estic a punt per destruir.
“Els meus objectius per 2018 són la captura de més títols i per aconseguir baralles d'unificació. Vam tenir un parell de campions en la categoria de pes, però sembla que ningú està disposat a lluitar contra els altres campions. Estem disposats a fer el que sigui necessari, lluitar contra el qual té els títols. Estem disposats a capturar tots els títols sempre que els altres nois estan disposats a inscriure en les baralles.”
JAVIER FORTUNA (33-1-1, 23 KOs) – L'ex campió del món de Super Ploma
“El meu preparació per a aquesta baralla va molt bé. He estat treballant a la República Dominicana, però he tornat a Boston per acabar la meva entrenament. En aquest moment estem en 75% i apropant-se a 100%. Vaig a estar completament preparat quan arriba el moment de lluitar. El meu preparació i la meva estratègia em el tipus més perillós fan.
“Ho veig com cap altra lluita que he tingut abans, perquè tots els rivals és diferent. Cada un té el seu propi nínxol en aquest nivell, alguna cosa que funciona per a ells. El seu nínxol és que ell és alt. Ell usa al seu favor que. Però no és res que no pugui superar. He lluitat contra els tipus alts abans.
“Prefereixo que els meus oponents a ser més alt. Es juga en el que jo sóc capaç de fer. Mai he tingut un problema amb oponents més alts. Abner Cotto (5-10) és un dels tipus alts que vaig lluitar. Vaig lluitar a Chicago i posar en un gran rendiment. (Fortuna va anotar una 5º KO rodó contra Cotto)
“El meu objectiu per 2018 és lluitar contra tots els millors boxejadors d'elit a la meva classe de pes, i estic tractant d'arribar a ser esmentat com un dels millors en l'esport. Realment vull guanyar un altre títol mundial en una categoria de pes diferent. Seria el moment més gran fins al moment de la meva carrera per aconseguir un altre títol mundial.”
MARCUS BROWNE (20-0, 15 KOs) – Superior 10 classificat en 175 lliura. (CMB, OMB, AMB & FIB)
“El meu oponent (Francy Ntetu, 17-1, 4 KOs) s'assembla a una duradora, tipus dur. Veig aquesta baralla és molt emocionant per als aficionats durant el temps que duri. Vaig veure una mica de cinta adhesiva en ell. Sé que sempre ve en plena forma, i He sentit que és consistent en el seu acompliment en el ring. I just know I’m going to have to be sharp on Jan. 20.
“Sempre és un honor lluitar aquí a casa i al Barclays Center. És especial per poder actuar davant d'aquests aficionats i no puc esperar per posar en un bon exercici previ a la Spence vs. lluita Peterson.
“Aquesta baralla em podria posar en la posició que he d'estar en lluitar per un títol mundial. No pot faltar en qualsevol forma. He de sortir fort, amb una gran actuació de principi a fi i no deixar cap dubte en que hi ha.
“Per 2018, Vull arribar a ser un campió del món. Estic decidit tomake que passi aquest any. That vision starts on Jan. 20 at Barclays Center against Francy Ntetu.
Francy NTETU (17-1, 4 KOs) – David Benavidez lluitat a Barclays Center al juny 2015
I know Marcus Browne is probably taking me lightly and thinks he will simply go through me. Espero que sigui el cas, perquè va ser un xoc per a ell, els aficionats i el seu equip quan prenc el seu lloc a la fila per un títol. Vull enfrontar Eleider Álvarez a la nostra ciutat de Mont-real després d'obtenir aquesta victòria.
“El meu baralla anterior a Barclays Center contra l'actual campió del CMB, David Benavidez va ser òbviament una molt mala decisió de l'àrbitre a aturar la baralla, especialment quan estava guanyant la ronda i Benavídez estava reduint. Estava cada vegada més fort mentre estava cada vegada més feble.
“Mai he fet mal i mai m'ha caigut en una baralla. Vull Marcus per desafiar a si mateix i veure si pot fer alguna cosa que ningú més ha. Estic emocionat d'estar en una baralla d'aquesta magnitud. Marcus, és el moment per a nosaltres per donar-li als fans el que volen!”
ADAM Kownacka (16-0, 13 KOs) – Originari de Polònia & lluitant des de Brooklyn
“Aquesta baralla va ser un altre pas per convertir-se en un campió. Sé que vaig a haver de treballar molt dur i demostrar que estic continuar construint en el meu victòria contra Szpilka. Des del vídeo que he vist en Iago Kiladze (26-1, 18 KOs), que es mou molt, així que necessitaré per tallar el ring. El que ell porta al ring, Vaig a tenir una resposta per.
“Tres anys en una fila ara he estat lluitant al gener. M'encanta partint de l'any forts. La meva dona i jo en realitat van començar una tradició de la “Kownacki portat per una família” a mitjanit on New Year’s Eve. Ja que sempre estic preparant per a una baralla al voltant de Cap d'Any, Pensem que pot ser que també divertir mentre es treballa. Així, tindrem alguns amics surten i córrer algunes milles amb nosaltres pel barri durant els focs artificials. És divertit i ajuda a preparar-me.
“Finalment, Estic buscant per convertir-se en el millor en la divisió de pes. L'objectiu final d'aquest any és arribar a ser un campió del món. Però el primer pas està prenent molt seriosament Yago Kiladze. I can’t look past Gener 20 ara mateix. Tinc un dur rival que posarà a prova i em farà un millor lluitador en el llarg termini.”
Iago Kiladze, Tercera baralla des del moviment fins a la divisió de pes pesat (2-0, 2 KOs)
I feel great and my training has been terrific. El meu entrenador Freddie Roach és ara. Jo va discutir amb (Campió de pes creuer FIB) Murat Gassiev tres vegades recentment que és una gran preparació per a mi. I believe I can knockout Kownacki but if I have to go the distance I’m prepared for that. De qualsevol manera, Vaig a ser victoriós. Estic sento que sóc el lluitador més hàbil i que es mostrarà en el ring.
“Aquesta és una gran baralla per la meva carrera i un excel·lent començament per 2018. I know that if I win this fight I’ll be that much closer to a world title opportunity.
“El meu objectiu és ser un campió del món al final de 2018. I want to continue improving and learning under Freddie and with his guidance I’m confident of success.

LONG ISLAND, Nova York (Juliol 16, 2017) – Once-beaten Jamal James (21-1, 9 KOs) scored a unanimous decision victory over former title challenger Jo Jo Dan (36-5, 19 KOs) aLliga de Campions de Boxa a FS1 i FOX Esports accióDissabte night from thenewly-renovated NYCB LIVE, home of the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
Permanent 6'2″, James was intent on using his length to move around Dan and deliver jabs and power punches off of it it. He had success snapping the head back of Dan throughout the early rounds and built up a lead on the scorecards.
My range was working perfectly,” said James. “I knew he was going to be tough and he was a little tougher than I thought.
Dan got himself back into the fight after focusing on the body throughout the early rounds and was able to break through Jamesguard to land effectively. The southpaw temporarily rocked James late in the sixth round and was able to pick up some momentum for the following rounds.
I was catching him with nice clean shots, but he kept coming,” said James. “I knew he was going to keep coming forward. He started moving his head and made me miss a couple times. I was trying to avoid a big shot but he did get me with some body shots.
No obstant això, James was able to stick to his game plan and had success over the final couple of rounds while fighting Dan in the trenches. Després 10 rounds of welterweight action, the judges scored the bout 99-91-, 98-92 i 97-93 all for James.
Fighting on the undercard of his older brother Omar, Brandon Figueroa (13-0, 8 KOs) used high volume punching to dominate Fatiou Fassinou (28-7-3, 15 KOs) on his way to a unanimous decision victory in their junior featherweight contest.
I knew that he was a flashy fighter that was going to have a lot of speed and movement,” , Va dir Figueroa. “I tried to attack the body. He was a really tough opponent. He took all my best body shots.
Figueroa had no problem trying to stand and trade with Fassinou as his superior speed and length allowed him to consistently land first. Fassinou’s awkward style included switching stances almost nonstop throughout the bout, and made it tough for Figueroa to sit down and deliver knockout blows.
This was my first fight back in a while and I was happy to get the rust off,” said James. “Now I’m going to get back to work. I want to get at least one or two more fights this year and then really explode next year and set myself up to be a top contender.
As the fight went on, Fassinou slowed down enough to where Figueroa was able to trap him in the corner and deliver powerful blows throughout the last two rounds. Fassinou ended the night on his feet but all three judges gave the bout to Figueroa by scores of 79-73 i 78-74 dues vegades.
I wanted to break him down,” , Va dir Figueroa. “He took my punches well. I think he won a round or two. I needed to catch my breath and I was hoping to stop him late. De qualsevol manera, I got the win and I’m happy.

LONG ISLAND, Nova York (Juliol 15, 2017) – El invicte Omar Figueroa (27-0-1, 19 KOs) returned to the ring in emphatic fashion with a third-round stoppage of former champion Robert Guerrero (33-6-1, 18 KOs) en l'esdeveniment principal de Lliga de Campions de Boxa a GUINEU iFOX Esports Saturday night from the newly-renovated NYCB LIVE, home of the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum. The show was the first major boxing event to take place at the Coliseum in 31 any.
The former world champion Figueroa returned to the ring after a 19-month layoff and hardly missed a beat, as he sent Guerrero to the canvas five times over the three rounds and became the first fighter to ever stop Guerrero.
We knew that it was going to be tough to accomplish but I had obviously trained to get the knockout,” said Figueroa.With my hands finally being healthy, we knew that it was actually possible.
After winning the first round on all three judges’ quadres de comandament, Guerrero continued to fight Figueroa from the inside and attempted to punish him with power shots. No obstant això, it was Figueroa who landed the first decisive blow of the fight, a scorching left uppercut that sent Guerrero immediately to the floor.
I haven’t fought this way in a long time because I didn’t have the power in my hands,” , Va dir Figueroa. “I’ll always find a way to come out on top though.
Figueroa continued to attack, putting Guerrero down for a second time with a body shot and once more with a glancing shot right before the end of the round. Guerrero looked to blitz Figueroa to start the third round and immediately had Figueroa cornered.
After the first knockdown I knew that the instinct would kick-in for him and he’d go all out,” , Va dir Figueroa. “I thought it was going to be over after the first knockdown of the second round but the ref let it keep going.
I’ve been working since January so I’m going to take some time off,” continued Figueroa. “Then I’m going to get back into camp to get back to 140-pounds. I want to be back in the ring by the end of the year.
The unbeaten fighter was able to turn the tide quickly however, putting Guerrero down twice more with strong flurries before referee Ron Lipton waved off the bout 1:34 a la ronda. Després de la baralla, Guerrero was taken to Nassau University Medical Center for precautionary reasons.
El invicte 2012 U.S. Olímpic Marcus Browne (20-0, 15 KOs) continued to solidify his status as a world title contender with an electrifying stoppage of previously undefeatedSeanie Monaghan (28-1, 17 KOs) in the second-round of their light heavyweight battle.
Despite fighting in front of a friendly crowd in his native Long Island, Monaghan struggled from the start as a blistering left hand from Browne sent him to the canvas early in the first round. Monaghan was quickly in survival mode and was aided when referee Steve Willis halted the bout after deeming that Browne had connected with an accidental low blow while looking to finish his opponent.
“”I could tell that I hurt him, but I didn’t want to rush and walk into anything,” va dir Browne. “I just took my time and allowed everything to fall into place.
It was an honor for me to represent Long Island,” said Monaghan. “I knew that it was a big task tonight. Marcus is even faster than in sparring. I’ll be alright though, I’m happy that if I had to lose, it was to a guy the quality of Marcus Browne.
Monaghan was able to recover and eventually make it through the round, but Browne put his foot on the gas pedal to begin round two. Browne was able to trap Monaghan against the ropes and delivered a crushing series of body blows and chopping shots that caused Monaghan to hunch over. The onslaught eventually forced the referee to call a halt to the bout 40 segons a la ronda.
I’m honored and blessed to be a part of this event and I just want to move upwards and onward from here,” va dir Browne. “I want a date with Adonis Stevenson next. It’s amazing to have this kind of exposure on FOX and FOX Deportes. I loved the opportunity to make new fans tonight.
Marcus has always been a fast starter,” said Monaghan. “He always comes out very fast. I thought I was ready for the speed, but he is very skilled. I think he’s going to go a long way.
In front of a large contingent of his hometown fans, Adam Kownacki (16-0, 13 KOs) put on an impressive performance against his best opposition to date by scoring a fourth-round TKO of former title challenger Arthur Pin (20-3, 15 KOs) in their heavyweight showdown.
I always knew that I had him,” va dir Kownacki. “From the first shot I hit him in the body, I knew he didn’t have enough. My pressure was too much.
The fight began with both men looking to impose their styles as Szpilka attempted to establish his jab and evade his opponent, while Kownacki tried to trap Szpilka in a corner where he could tee-off with power punches.
Despite his left eye swelling up after two rounds, Kownacki was able to take the first bit of momentum by connecting late in round three with a series of power shots that appeared to at least shake Szpilka up.
As the fourth round began Kownacki wasted no time, landing a big punch that caused blood to start pouring out of the nose of Szpilka. While the former title challenger tried to keep his distance, the heavier Kownacki was able to land a series of power punches that put Szpilka on the canvas.
I have a great trainer and a great team that has gotten me into great shape,” va dir Kownacki. “I have to give them all of the credit. Whatever he was doing, I was ready for.
While Szpilka was able to get to his feet, Kownacki continued to keep the pressure on as another series of power punches, led by a strong right hand, sent Szpilka into a heap and forced referee Artur Mercante to stop the bout 1:37 a la ronda. Kownacki landed 42 percent of his power punches in the decisive fourth round.
It took Deontay Wilder and Bryant Jennings a lot longer to get him out of there,” va dir Kownacki. “But I still have things that I’m going to go back and fix. Once I improve those aspects of my game I think that a lot of people are going to know me.
He hit me once with a good shot and after that I just never recovered,” said Szpilka. “I think it was a left hook. I’m going to rest now. This was not how I wanted this to go and I’m very disappointed.

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Wednesday from Gallagher’s Steakhouse in Manhattan:
OMAR FIGUEROA
We know that Guerrero is a tough guy and it’s going to be a rough fight. We prepared really well to go 12-rounds and get the win.
I love having my brother Brandon in camp and on this card with me. It gives me an opportunity to take my mind off of my fight and focus on Brandon for a bit. It really helps me cope with everything leading up to a big fight.
Training camp was amazing. We did a lot of sparring with lefties so that my footwork is down. Other than that I was just grinding every day and trying to get better.
I’m really happy to have the team that I have. Joel Diaz and I work really well together because we have the same mentality, but he can tell me when I need to take a step back.
New York is one of the places that has held historic fights. Being on that same stage as great fighters from the past is amazing. It’s one of those things that makes you feel like you made it.
I know how hard Robert Guerrero has worked to get to this point in his career. I want to prove that I can be in the big fights that Guerrero has already had. I’ve had a long time off but I can’t wait to get it en dissabte nit.
I feel like I have everything in my arsenal to make this a successful night. I’m looking to show all of the things I’ve been working with Joel Diaz on and give the fans a great fight to remember.
ROBERT GUERRERO
I’m expecting Omar to come to fight. He’s undefeated with a great record so if it’s not broken, I don’t expect him to change his style.
You have to prepare for everything for a guy as awkward as Omar. I’m going to have to make adjustments in the ring. If I can stay focused I know I can get the victory.
I’ve made a lot of improvements since the last time people saw me. There’s way too much talent in this division for me to just come forward and press. I’m in great shape and I’m ready to work behind my jab do everything I need to do to be successful in the ring.
I’m blessed to be here and have this tremendous opportunity in the main event again on FOX and FOX Deportes. It’s been a while since I’ve been in the ring but I never stopped working in the gym.
I’ve said before that I had to go to the drawing board but this time we erased everything and rewrote it. This layoff has really helped me get in great shape and I’m really excited to get in the ring. I’m ready to turn the page to the next chapter of my career and that starts with this fight.
It’s an honor to be able to work with my dad every day. It’s an incredible blessing for me to have such a loyal team. My father treats me like a man just like he always has. He makes me a better fighter every time out. He knows me like the back of his hand.
MARCUS BROWNE
I’m ready to roll. I’m ready let my hands go and get in the ring and rumble en dissabte nit. This is going to be a great night of fights.
“Aquesta és una gran baralla per a mi. It’s a great fight against a very determined and experienced fighter. Seanie is a veteran in this sport but he’s still hungry. He has a lot to lose, com fer jo. We’re both going to put it on the line.
I’m excited to be part of opening up this new venue. There are a lot of different cultures that come together in Long Island and it should make for a great crowd.
I think the timing that my career has progressed has been great. I’ve been going step-by-step and I feel like I’m on a good path towards a world title.
I’m very familiar with Seanie from sparring together but I know that he’s a veteran who’s going to have a great game plan. Training camp has me ready and I’m going to be prepared to make adjustments. I’m ready to lay it all out there.
SEANIE MONAGHAN
“El camp d'entrenament ha estat excel·lent. I’ve been sparring a lot of lefties and getting ready for this style matchup. This is probably the longest camp I’ve ever had and I feel great. I’m on weight right now and ready for this fight. This is the best shape I’ve ever been in.
It’s very inspiring to be looking at the place that you’ll be fighting while you’re training. I do my hardest workout on the track right across the street from the Coliseum. It helps me dig deep while I’m suffering.
This is going to be an interesting matchup. Marcus and I are pretty much opposites in the ring. I’m a righty and he’s a lefty. He’s a fast-starter and I’m a strong finisher. It’s my job to turn it into a battle of wills.
I’m fully-charged physically and locked and loaded mentally heading into Dissabte nit. This is the caliber of opponent I’ve been looking to face for a while and I’ll be ready when the bell rings.
This is my 29º time getting into the professional ring so I’m not concerned about the emotions that come with fighting at home. Any kind of energy that I feel, I’m going to use it for fuel in the later rounds when I need it.
ARTUR PIN
I want to show that my loss was an accident and that I’m ready to put on a great show for the fans.
We will see how hard this fight will be. That is up to him, because I will be ready to put it all on the line and get this win. People want to see emotions in the ring and we will see if Kownacki is ready for me.
I have to take this fight very seriously. I am in the best shape of my career. I can’t take for granted that I’m going to go in there and knock him out immediately.
I waited a long time for this return. I broke my hand after the Deontay Wilder fight but now I am back and 100 percent ready for this fight.
Adam is like I was before. He’s working his way up this sport and he’s very hungry. I respect Adam and I wish him the best, but not en dissabte nit.”
ADAM Kownacka
This is a big stage and a great challenge for me. Now it’s time for me to show that I’m ready for this. I’ve never ducked a challenge and I never will.
All the hard work is done. I feel great after a really strong training camp and now the fun part comes Dissabte nit.
“Jo va discutir amb (top U.S. amateur) Cam Awesome, who is a good mover around the ring so he’s definitely helped prepare me for what Artur is going to bring.
It means a lot to be in a fight between two Polish heavyweights. We’re two of the best Polish heavyweights in the world and only one of us can wear the crown.
“Aquest és el meu festa de presentació. I’m going to make a statement en dissabte. I’ve been patiently waiting for this chance and now I’m going to prove that I belong.
Artur and I definitely have different styles. I’m more of a puncher and he’s more of a mover. I worked a lot in training camp on cutting off the ring.
BRANDON FIGUEROA
I feel like I’ve improved a lot during this training camp. I feel very strong and confident heading into this fight. It’s really exciting to be on a card like this with my brother headlining.
I’m just going to take my career step-by-step and take it one fight at a time. Hopefully if I keep working hard and performing I can get a title shot. I just want to take every fight that I can so that I can perform in front of the fans and give them a great show.
I feel very prepared and very confident heading into this fight. This is definitely one of the best camps I’ve had. I fight a lot of heavy guys in Joel Diaz’s gym and it helped me get perfectly prepared for this fight.
I love fighting on television so that I can give fans a good show. I’m always hungry for the win and now being in New York is an added piece of motivation.
Lou DiBella, El president de DiBella Entertainment
En dissabte big-time boxing returns to Long Island. Ha sigut 31 years since a big boxing show on Long Island and that show was headlined by Mike Tyson. Dissabte night is going to be a great night for boxing in the New York area.
This show has three terrific fights coming to us en dissabte nit. I love that this card has three fights where the outcome is up in the air and they’re all-action matchups.
Artur and Adam are in something of a grudge match, with these two Polish heavyweights talking about this for over a year, and now it’s finally going to happen. This is an important heavyweight fight. The loser takes a big step back.
Marcus Browne is a young lion rising his way up the ranks at light heavyweight. Seanie has been waiting a long time for an opportunity like this. The winner of this fight is right there for a world title. These guys have been friendly in the past, but they won’t be friends en dissabtenit.
The main event is definitely a crossroads fight to some extent. I have tremendous respect for both Omar and Robert. Omar is returning to the ring against one of the most experienced and battle-tested fighters out there in Guerrero.
This is going to be a good night for Long Island and everyone who watches this in person or on FOX and FOX Deportes is going to be in for a great night of fighting.
