Skryf 'n opmerking

“The winner of Thurman-Porter will immediately move into the
welterweight penthouse.” – Leonard
“I know that Porter and Thurman both have the ability to get each other out of there. It’s going to be a matter of who gets to who first.” –Hearns
NEW YORK (Junie 20, 2016) – Ray Leonard suiker en Thomas “Hitman” Hearns might be uniquely qualified to talk about what WBA welterweight champion Keith “One Time” Thurman en “Showtime” Shawn Porter are thinking and feeling heading into their battle that pits two men against each other who are in their primes in a highly charged battle for supremacy in the talent-laden welterweight division.
The highly anticipated showdown headlines Showtime KAMPIOENSKAP boks® op CBS aangebied deur Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) with televised coverage starting at 9 namiddag. EN/6 namiddag. PT.
Leonard had a record of 30-1 met 21 KOs and held the WBC welterweight title when he took on Hearns, wat was 32-0 met 30 KOs and held the WBA title, in a 15-round title unification match in Las Vegas on September 16, 1981. The match was billed as “The Showdown” and had a worldwide television audience of 300 miljoen.
The fight was a pitched back-and-forth battle, but Hearns appeared to be in control having won rounds nine through 12 op al drie beoordelaars’ telkaarte. It was between rounds 12 en 13 that Leonard’s trainer, the late Angelo Dundee, famously screamed at Leonard: “You’re blowing it now, son! You’re blowing it!”
Leonard, with his left eye badly swollen, turned the tide in the 14ste round by staggering Hearns with an overhand right and then pinning Hearns on the ropes and unleashing a barrage of punches, which prompted referee Davey Pearl to stop the fight, giving Leonard the victory and making him the undisputed welterweight champion and king of the division. At the time of the stoppage Hearns was leading on all three scorecards – 124-122, 125-122 en 125-121.
“It was the toughest fight of my life. It took every ounce of will and strength to beat Tommy Hearns. I couldn’t have taken that many of those in my career,” Leonard said. “The Tommy Hearns fight was the one that propelled me to the penthouse.”
Leonard felt like the victory over Hearns launched him into superstardom. He believes the same thing awaits the winner of Thurman-Porter.
Hearns on the fight: “I wanted to show my world my boxing ability. They knew I could knock people out, but they didn’t know that I could box very well.”
Both Leonard and Hearns said they are anxiously awaiting the match between Thurman and Porter because they believe it will hold just as much drama as their match 35 jaar gelede.
“Ja, you can make the comparison,” Leonard said. “Both guys are at the top of the welterweight division. The only thing that’s different is that me and Tommy were so well known by sports fans. We were on TV a lot, and that’s what built our names and gave people the chance to see us so much. And that’s what they’re doing now with the PBC and the shows being on network TV. This could be a fight like ours. Wie weet? But I do know that the fans are waiting on this fight.”
HOW DO YOU PREPARE TO FACE THE BEST MAN IN YOUR DIVISION?
HEARNS: “It’s always hard to get prepared for someone like that because you think about what the outcome is going to be and what are your chances of winning the fight. I never thought about losing, but I thought about what my chances were.
I knew if I went out and boxed the way I knew I could box, I would beat Ray. Just the thought of fighting Ray brought a lot of questions to my mind. Some I had answers to and some I didn’t have. Most other guys I knew I could go out there and knock them out.”
WHAT EXCITES YOU ABOUT THIS MATCHUP?
LEONARD: “Just the heart of Keith and Shawn. Both of these guys have heart and both have that will. That composure. You can’t teach composure. It’s something that you either have or you don’t. You can’t learn that. That deep, deep composure when your left eye is closed and your liver is busted and you got to get up on the canvas.”
HEARNS: “I know Thurman and Porter have the ability to get each other out of there. It’s going to be a matter of who gets to who first. I’m definitely watching. I hope to be there in person.”
HOW IMPORTANT IS THE MENTAL ASPECT OF THIS MATCH?
HEARNS: “I know what it’s like to go against somebody that people don’t think you can beat. You have to prepare for that. It’s a mental stage that you go through, how you prepare your mind. If you can control your mind and tell your body what you’re going to do, then you can do it. You can’t worry about how good the other guy can punch. Just stay out of the way. Keep on laying that stick on him and he won’t be able to punch you.”
WHAT WAS YOUR MENTALITY GOING INTO THE MATCH AGAINST LEONARD?
HEARNS: “I didn’t come to go 12 of 15 rondes. I came to whip your butt and go home. I had no desire to go 15 rondes. I trained for it, but I was never going 15 rounds.”
WHAT WAS YOUR MENTALITY GOING INTO THE MATCH AGAINST HEARNS?
LEONARD: “I felt that I could beat anyone. My brother Roger didn’t think I could beat Tommy. He didn’t tell me that until it was over. In training camp I used to box Roger and he would land a lot of right hands. He figured if Tommy’s right hand landed on me it would be over. My brother didn’t have much confidence in me.”

Born and raised in the area, Thurman worked out at St. Pete Boxing Club along with longtime trainer Dan Birmingham as he prepared for his primetime battle against the strong and dangerous Porter.
Hier is wat die deelnemers moes Woensdag sê:
KEITH THURMAN
“Muhammad Ali opened up the door for so many people. Michael Jordan changed the game in our era, but Ali did it so long ago. He showed people that boxing is a great sport and can be the most entertaining sport in the world.
“Vir my, it’s almost like a dream come true. It’s surreal. I remember at an early age in boxing saying, ‘I want to be the guy that brings boxing back.’ I’m really blessed to be where I am in my career. For all the fighters who could end up on this stage, I’m proud that I’ve been chosen.
“I’ve always considered myself a knockout artist. Back to when I was a teenager knocking out grown men in headgear. Ever since then, I’ve been dropping people like a bad habit.
“I love being a power-puncher. My favorite fighter of all time is Mike Tyson. One of my goals that I set when I was a kid was to have more knockouts than Mike Tyson throughout my career.
“I’m ready for Shawn Porter. We’re going to box harder, box stronger and box better. I will be the better man.
“Training is the fundamentals of getting one prepared. We’ve always known that Shawn Porter was going to come into this fight in tremendous shape. That’s what his training methods are all about. But the Energizer Bunny has never been hit by Keith Thurman, and I’m pretty sure I could stop it in its tracks.
“Ek gaan vir die uitklophou. I’ve stated it before. My hands are itching for a knockout. I’m ‘One Time,’ al die tyd. That’s my philosophy. Every single time I step into the ring I’m looking for the knockout. We don’t get paid for overtime.
“This is an opportunity to showcase our talents and our skills to the world. The winner will have an opportunity to be the head guy in the sport. I’ve always wanted to have a legacy in the sport of boxing.
“I want to be the undisputed welterweight champion of the world. That’s my ultimate goal. There have only been so many in the history of boxing. I want to be a part of that history.”
DAN BIRMINGHAM, Thurman’s Trainer
“Keith is a guy who deserves to be on this stage. He has a lot of experience and he’s come into his own. This is the kind of thing that happens when you work hard.
“Life happens. Keith was involved in the accident and so we took the necessary rest. He saw the right doctors and we’re back now. We’re ready for Shawn Porter.
“We’re constantly conditioning. We’re working on attacking his style. He’s a short, come-forward brawler who’s going to try to come into Keith’s chest and make it a war. We’re making out adjustments.
“Keith has to be busier, more in charge fighter. He has to work off of his jab and then his power will keep Porter at bay.”

just going to be Keith Thurman.’ – Thurman

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (Junie 2, 2016) – Keith Thurman, the reigning WBA Welterweight World Champion, is four weeks out from his Junie 25 title defense against Shawn Porter and has his 20-year career in boxing on his mind heading into the crucial showdown.
Thurman will be headlining on CBS live from Barclays Center in Brooklyn with televised coverage starting at 9 namiddag. EST/6 namiddag. PST. Kaartjies kan aanlyn gekoop word deur 'n besoek
www.ticketmaster.com, www.barclayscenter.com of deur te bel 1-800-745-3000. Kaartjies is ook beskikbaar by die American Express Box Office by Barclays Center. Groep afslag is beskikbaar deur te bel 844-afrit vir Brooklyn-GP.
“It’s been an amazing journey and no one predicted this better than my first coach Ben Getty,” said 27-year-old Thurman. “It puts me in a state of gratitude for Ben. He told everyone I’d be world champ, and here I am, defending my title against Shawn Porter. I am just starting to see what Ben Getty saw in me and the mark that I can make in boxing.”
Thurman isn’t the only one celebrating a boxing anniversary – his trainer of 13 years and Florida Hall of Fame elected boxing trainer Dan Birmingham, who trained former champion Winky Wright, has been in the sport for 50 jaar, and assistant trainer Chris Getty has grown up with Thurman in the sport through his father Ben Getty. The fight also is the first primetime fight on CBS in almost 40 years since the Muhammad Ali vs. Leon Spinks from Las Vegas.
Nou, 20 years after Ben Getty introduced Thurman to boxing as part of an after school program, he is one of the strongest power punchers in the division, with an excellent knockout rate of 80%. His focus, egter, is on making boxing history.
“My goal is to be known as the hardest hitting welterweight in the division,” Said Thurman. “This camp, if anything, I feel more comfortable. I’m fully recovered, sparring, opleiding. I’ve been throwing power punches for what seems like forever and it’s a little weird. I can’t help but think about how this is my 20ste year in boxing and knowing the longevity I’ve had. It’s given me a new confidence. “
For Birmingham, this training camp has been a re-commitment to the strategic and conditioning process the team has gone through for each fight for the past 13 jaar.
“Training is going real well,” said Birmingham. “We know Porter is a come-forward fighter – he is going to try to be on Keith’s chest. I want Keith to box, use his power, use his jab, and use his feints to work the body from the inside. All the things Keith knows how to do. Porter is not a real technical fighter so we’re working on using that to our advantage.”
Birmingham on sparring:
“We’ve been doing great sparring work – we have some tough, tough kids in camp. We’ve been boosting aerobic capacity, and those kids are keeping on Keith. He’s going to be in great shape for this fight. We’re excited for this fight. “
What does Team “One Time” anticipate?
Birmingham: “We know that Porter is going to bring it so we’re working extra hard on aerobics and being fit for this fight. Keith’s doing a lot of running, cardio, endurance; we expect a tough fight and we’ll be prepared for this fight. We expect a victory”
What can fans expect on Junie 25?
Thurman: “Hopefully a knock out! I’m coming to bring it. Shawn is coming to bring it. Dit sal 'n groot stryd wees. We are two of the top welterweights in the division. Two of the youngest and strongest welterweights in the sport going toe-to- toe.”
What is your goal for this fight?
Thurman: “My goal is to be known as the hardest hitting welterweight in the division. My lifelong goal is to be the undisputed welterweight champion of the world – and I have a ways to go in unifying the titles. Once I move past Shawn I look forward to the challenge of making my dreams come true. I’m blessed to be where I am today.”
The Welterweight division is one of the hottest divisions in boxing, what do you think of a Super 6 tournament in the division?
Thurman: “I’m for it. In the 147-pound division it’s time to unify a title. Someone at 147 should have more than one belt and that’s my goal that before end of the year to have more than one belt.”
One of the sports more enigmatic athletes, Thurman is known for having a varied list of interests and hobbies setting him apart from other fighters, including playing the flute, piano and guitar, books (The Secret Life of Plants to Bhagavad Gita the Little Buddhist Handbook) and music (Ziggy Marley to Tupac). It is his uniqueness that helps him be an easy fan-favorite.
“Greatest advice I’ve been given is just to be Keith Thurman – just be me,” Said Thurman. “I’m looking forward to stepping on this scale, not over talking and just going in and getting the knock out.”

AMERICAN HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION DEONTAY WILDER OPENS UP ON THE STATE OF THE HEAVYWEIGHT DIVISION

Skryf 'n opmerking

Wilder Defends His Title Next Saterdag, Jan. 16,
Woon op Showtime® Van Barclays-sentrum in Brooklyn

Sports Emmy® Award-Winning Writer Mark Kriegel meets in New York with undefeated WBC World Champion Deontay Wilder, as the American heavyweight champ looks to continue his path to heavyweight history by putting his imprint on the division one step at a time.

 

“I’m just a different fighter than these guys in the heavyweight division. My athletic skills, the way I move in the ring, my spoed, the power that I have, the awkward style that I have. Do I need to say more? These guys know I am very serious about this. Nobody wants to fight [my], they already know what the results will be.’’

 

Wilder is determined to prove he’s the No. 1 in die wêreld. His current focus is his third title defense against Polish brawler Arthur Pin, but he doesn’t dismiss the constant chatter about title unification.

 

“Keep fighting, sooner or later celebrate. Keep fighting, keep winning, keep knocking guys out. Once you keep doing those things, you can’t be denied, maak nie saak wat nie. I think unifying the titles … Once you have that strong American heavyweight to unify the division, to hold all the titles, that’s when I feel true stardom will come. Once I unify the division, I think it’ll be a dramatic change.’’

In die negende ronde helder waai Garcia se finaal bewys te veel vir Malignaggi as die ref gestop die stryd teen 2:22 in die ronde.

Hier is wat die vegters te sê gehad het Saterdag:

 

DANNY GARCIA

 

“Ek het 'n baie sterker. In die negende ronde het ek gevoel soos dit was die eerste ronde. Ek nodig het om te werk aan smeer up stoot en vas met die game plan. My pa wou my skerp wees en gooi meer reguit stoot.

 

“Ek voel sterk en ek voel goed. Ek gebruik my steek. Daar was beslis dinge wat ek het om op te werk, maar ek is trots op myself. 147 is waar dit by.

 

“Paulie is 'n groot kampioen. Hy is 'n veteraan handwerk met 'n groot inspuiting en voet beweging. Maar ek het daar in en uitgevoer om die game plan.

 

“Keith Thurman en Shawn Porter is groot vegters in hierdie afdeling. As hulle wil, ons kan sorg dat dit gebeur.”

 

Paulie Malignaggi

 

“Ek het probeer om die tempo bepaal, want ek het nie wil hê hy moet kry in 'n groef. Hy is 'n harde slaner en ek wou nie hê hy vertroue 'n groot skoot land te gee. Ek wou skryf met my steek en hou hom ontbreek, so hy wil tweede raaiskoot op gooi sy krag. Die minder krag skote hy die minder krag skote hy my kon tref met gegooi.

 

“Ek het probeer om 'n bietjie van sy vertroue neem. Hy loop my af redelik goed agter die steek. He cut me in the fourth and I think that upped his confidence. Ek kon nog nooit die beheer van die tempo al kry. In kolle gevoel ek gee minder grond en ek het hom as vermis. Hy het weer op sy groef al en hy het 'n sterk voordeel gehad.

 

“Ek dink Danny kan 'n boonste echelon vegter, hy het reeds is. Hy kan sy naam het in die geskiedenis boeke. Hy het 'n baie talent. Mense besef nie hy het 'n baie karakter te. Hy het 'n baie goeie poker gesig. Hy het nie gefrustreerd, en as hy dit doen hy dit nie wys om jou.

 

“Sy pa is 'n groot afrigter en hy regtig bly op hom. Danny luister en hulle het 'n goeie verhouding. Elke keer as 'n ronde sal begin was dit asof hy vars is. Selfs aan die einde van rondes wanneer ek iets om oor te dink hy terug gekom het hom, en dit is werklik belangrik.

 

“Ek het 'n baie goeie werk as kommentator en kyk groot vegters veg ringside het. Ek hoop om te sit om ringside vir 'n lang tyd. I felt like if I couldn’t put up a great performance vanaand then it would be my last. Ek het probeer om so veel as wat ek kon hang taai. Ek onthou toe ek groot skote Ek het net aangehou dink was wat 'Moenie in. Dit is jou laaste nag as jy gee. Wys nie dat jy gaan om in te gee. As jy kan wys dat jy nog steeds honger vir dit, dan sal jy jouself oortuig dat dit nie die einde nie.’ Ek wou hou wat toon dat ek dit wil hê. Bietjie vir bietjie hy het my neergesit, en ek het geen probleem met die oponthoud.

 

“Ek is waarskynlik nie weer veg. Jy haat om 'n emosionele besluit te neem. My loopbaan het begin in Brooklyn 14 jaar gelede. If it ends in Brooklyn vanaand then at least I ended it at home where I’m from and in front of the greatest fans in the world.”

 

Daniel Jacobs

 

“Ek wou hom te stop op my eie. Ek wou nie hê hy ophou op die stoel, maar ek weet dat hy het geweet dit gaan eindig in 'n paar rondtes elk geval.

 

“Ek wil Peter Quillin volgende. Dit is 'n stryd van die ondersteuners verdien. Brooklyn ondersteun altyd beide van ons en dit sal 'n goeie manier om af te sluit van die jaar.

 

“Geen rematch, geen rede om terug te gaan. Dank God vir hierdie oorwinning, maar ek gaan nie vir hom 'n rematch net omdat te gee.

 

“Ek het gesê het 'n man met nege uitklophoue regtig klop my af?

 

“Ek dink hierdie Brooklynites verdien iets spesiaals en ek dink my en 'Kid Chocolate’ sou daardie spesiale stryd hier by Barclays wees. Ons is op die A’ kant nou, ons is die kampioene, so kom ons doen dit!”

 

Sergio MORA

 

Gepraat sy hoek man “Ek weet dit is gebroke [regterenkel]. Ek het dit gehoor pop.”

 

“Ek het gehoor my enkel snap en my knie het ook gevoel snaaks en ek kon nie druk op dit.

 

“Ek het geweet dat die eerste paar rondtes sou moeilik wees, ons dat verwag. My plan was om hom te neem na die diep water.

 

“Adrenaline kan maak dat jy dom dinge te doen. Met 'n slaner soos Danny, Ek beweging nodig.

 

“Ek het jou gesê ek het hierheen gekom om te veg. Ek gee hom krediet, maar Ek het gekom om hierdie kampioenskap te neem. Ek wil 'n rematch.”
