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
Nova York (Xuño 20, 2016) – Sugar Ray Leonard e Thomas “Sicário” Hearns might be uniquely qualified to talk about what WBA welterweight champion Keith “Unha Vez” Thurman e “Altura De Comezar” 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 Championship Boxing® en CBS presentado por Premier Boxeo League (PBC) with televised coverage starting at 9 p.m. E/6 p.m. PT.
Leonard had a record of 30-1 con 21 KOs and held the WBC welterweight title when he took on Hearns, que era 32-0 con 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 asThe Showdownand had a worldwide television audience of 300 millón.
The fight was a pitched back-and-forth battle, but Hearns appeared to be in control having won rounds nine through 12 en todos os tres xuíces’ scorecards. It was between rounds 12 e 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 14th 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 e 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 anos.
“Si, 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. Quen sabe? 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 ou 15 rounds. I came to whip your butt and go home. I had no desire to go 15 rounds. 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.
Aquí está o que os participantes tiñan que dicir mércores:
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.
“Para min, 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.
“Vou ao KO. I’ve stated it before. My hands are itching for a knockout. I’m ‘One Time,’ toda hora. 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.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (Xuño 2, 2016) – Keith Thurman, the reigning WBA Welterweight World Champion, is four weeks out from his Xuño 25 title defense against Shawn Porter and has his 20-year career in boxing on his mind heading into the crucial showdown.

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 anniversaryhis 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 anos, 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.
Agora, 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, con todo, is on making boxing history.
My goal is to be known as the hardest hitting welterweight in the division,” Dixo Thurman. “This camp, if anything, I feel more comfortable. I’m fully recovered, adestramento, adestramento. 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 20th 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 anos.
Training is going real well,” said Birmingham. “We know Porter is a come-forward fighterhe 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 workwe 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 “Unha Vez” 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 Xuño 25?
Thurman:Hopefully a knock out! I’m coming to bring it. Shawn is coming to bring it. Vai ser unha gran loita. 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 worldand 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 Thurmanjust be me,” Dixo Thurman. “I’m looking forward to stepping on this scale, not over talking and just going in and getting the knock out.

Loitando fóra de Accokeek, Md., Hurd ten un rexistro profesional ilibada desde que se fixo profesional en 2012. A 25-year-old abriu 2015 cunha parada na terceira rolda do veterano Eric Mitchell e seguiu cunha paralización sétima rolda do ata entón invicto Jeff Lentz en agosto. He stepped up in competition last November when he faced Frank Galarza in Las Vegas and was able to show off his considerable skill by stopping the previously unbeaten fighter in the sixth round of perhaps a career-best performance.
Representando México, o 2012 Olympian Molina loita fóra de Norwalk, Calif., and is unbeaten in his brief professional career. O pro completou 26 anos en 2013 e despois de gañar unha decisión na súa primeira loita, el pasou a bater para fóra seis adversarios nunha liña. His last bout came against fellow unbeaten Domonique Dolton and featured exciting back-and-forth action before the fight was ruled a majority draw.
The younger brother of undefeated Jose Benavidez, David has racked up a perfect 14 wins in 14 starts at just 19-years-old. Fighting out of Phoenix, Benavidez picked up four victories via stoppage in 2015 and kicked off his 2016 with a knockout of Kevin Cobbs in January. Máis recentemente, he scored a second round knockout of Phillip Jackson Benson in April. The next challenge for Benavidez is the 33-year-old Ntetu, who won three times in 2015. Originally from the Democratic Republic of Congo, he fights out of Montreal and will be making his fifth appearance in the U.S. en Xuño 25.
A popular Brooklyn fighter who competed in Barclays Center’s first-ever professional female boxing match, Hardy tornouse un grampo na área desde. En Xuño 25, she will be making her seventh appearance at Barclays Center. A pouco máis de dous anos despois da súa estrea profesional, Hardy gañou un cinto de campión internacional na división super galo en outubro 2014. En 2015, she defeated Noemi Bosques and Renata Domsodi twice. In her lone 2016 loita, she stopped Anna Donatella Hultin in the fourth round.
A two-time New York Golden Gloves champion, Kownacki had a big 2015, notching four victories including knockouts of Maurenzo Smith and Randy Easton. Born in Lomza, Polonia, the 26-year-old now calls Brooklyn home. His 2016 campaign began in January at Barclays Center when he defeated Danny Kelly in front of a raucous Polish crowd.
Originally from New Orleans but fighting out of Houston, Prograis continues to work his way up the 140-pound rankings as he takes down veteran contenders. The 27-year-old looked sensational in his last outing as he scored a first round knockout over Mexico’s Aaron Herrera. Already named on of ESPN’s top prospects in 2015, he will look to cement his contender status in 2016.
Nacido na República Dominicana, Alonso moved to Spain at seven-years-old and would eventually represent the country at the 2012 Xogos Olímpicos. Now training in Brooklyn, the 25-year-old is undefeated since turning pro in 2014 while splitting time fighting in New York and Spain. He is coming off a victory over Ricardo Maldonado in February.
Vargas began boxing at age eight and by by age 13 the New York Daily News dubbed him aprodigy.Fighting out of New York, the 17-year-old Vargas recently signed to the Mayweather Promotions stable and will make his debut with his new promoter on Xuño 25.

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

Wilder Defends His Title Next Sábado, Xan. 16,
Directo na canle Showtime® De Barclays Center, en 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, miña velocidade, 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 [me], they already know what the results will be.’’

 

Wilder is determined to prove he’s the No. 1 no mundo. 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, no matter what. 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.’’

The 28-year-old looks to put on a show for his faithful supporters in his Barclays Center debut.
A two-time New York Golden Gloves champion, Kownacki had a big 2015, notching four victories including knockouts of Maurenzo Smith and Randy Easton. Born in Lomza, Polonia, the 26-year-old now calls Brooklyn home. He is opposed by the 24-year-old D.C.-native Kelly, who has won three fights in a row.

Na apertura televisado, Brooklyn de Daniel “The Miracle Man” Jacobs (30-1, 27 Kos) derrubou o ex-campión do mundo Sergio “The Snake Latina” Mora (28-4-2, 9 Kos) dúas veces a camiño dunha paralización segunda rolda e unha defensa exitosa do seu título mundial dos medios.

 

A primeira rolda presentou acción emocionante, tanto de homes como Jacobs presentou un gancho crisp dereito que enviou Mora á pantalla inicio. Só uns segundos despois de levantarse, Mora respondeu por bater Jacobs cun contador limpo que sorprendeu Jacobs e enviou-o á fita.

 

Tras a cita Mora con tiros duros ao final dunha rolda, Jacobs continuou a vir para adiante e enviou Mora á pantalla cunha enxurrada ao final da segunda quenda. Mora apareceu para ferir a perna dereita sobre a knockdown e non puido continuar. A paralización oficial veu 2:55 para a segunda rolda.

 

Aquí está o que os loitadores tiñan que dicir Sábado:

 

Danny GARCIA

 

“Eu me sentín moito máis forte. Na novena rolda sentín como se fose unha rolda. Necesito traballar acurtar-se socos e ir con o plan de xogo. Meu pai quería que eu fose afiada e dar socos máis rectas.

 

“Eu me sinto forte e me sinto ben. Eu usei o meu jab. Había definitivamente cousas que eu teño que traballar pero estou orgulloso de min mesmo. 147 é onde se atopa en.

 

“Paulie é un gran campión. El é un veterano de artesanía con unha gran jab e movemento do pé. Pero eu fun alí e executou o plan de xogo.

 

“Keith Thurman e Shawn Porter son grandes loitadores nesta división. Si queren, podemos facer isto acontecer.”

 

Paulie Malignaggi

 

“Eu estaba tentando dictar o ritmo, porque eu non quería que entrar nunha ranura. El é un perforado duro e eu non quería darlle a confianza para conseguir un figurão. Quería dictar co meu jab e mantelo en falta, El segundo palpite sobre o xogo do seu poder. Os tiros de enerxía menos xogou os menos tiros de enerxía que podería me bater con.

 

“Eu estaba tentando tirar un pouco da súa confianza. Estaba me camiñando moi ben atrás do jab. He cut me in the fourth and I think that upped his confidence. Eu nunca podería obter o control do ritmo aínda. En lugares que eu sentín que eu estaba desistindo menos chan e eu tíñalle falta. El volveu ao seu ritmo aínda e tiña unha gran vantaxe.

 

“Creo que Danny pode ser un loitador de rango superior, xa está. Pode poñer o seu nome nos libros de historia. Ten moito talento. A xente non entenden que ten unha morea de carácter demasiado. Ten unha boa cara de póquer. El non se sente frustrado, e se fai non mostra-lo.

 

“O seu pai é un gran adestrador e realmente queda enriba del. Danny escoita e eles teñen un gran relación. Cada vez que un partido comezaría era como se foi frescos. Mesmo a finais de roldas cando eu dei-lle algo para pensar que volveu, e iso é moi importante.

 

“Eu teño un traballo realmente bo Commentating e asistir grandes loitadores loitar arena. Espero que para sentar arredor do arena por un longo tempo. I felt like if I couldn’t put up a great performance esta noite then it would be my last. Eu estaba tentando colgar dura tanto como eu podía. Recordo cando estaba tomando grandes tiros que só quedaba pensando 'Non deixa en. Esta é a súa última noite, se ceder. Non mostrar que vai dar en. Se pode amosar que aínda está con fame para el, entón vai convencer de que este non é o final.’ Quería seguir mostrando que quero. Aos poucos me rompe, e eu non teño ningún problema coa paralización.

 

“Eu probablemente non estou loitando novo. Odia a tomar unha decisión emocional. Miña carreira comezou en Brooklyn 14 anos. If it ends in Brooklyn esta noite then at least I ended it at home where I’m from and in front of the greatest fans in the world.

 

DANIEL JACOBS

 

“Quería detelo no meu propio. Non quero que saia na base, pero eu sei que el sabía que ía rematar en un par de voltas de forma.

 

“Quero Peter Quillin próxima. É unha loita que os fans merecen. Brooklyn sempre soporta tanto de nós e sería unha boa forma de pechar o ano.

 

“Sen desquite, ningunha razón para ir cara atrás. Grazas a Deus por esta vitoria, pero eu non vou darlle unha revancha só porque.

 

“Eu dixen que un cara con nove nocautes realmente me derrubar?

 

“Creo que estas Brooklynites merecen algo especial e eu creo que eu e "Kid Chocolate’ sería esa loita especial aquí no Barclays. Estamos en 'A’ lado agora, somos campións, entón imos facelo!”

 

SERGIO MORA

 

Faladas ao seu home de canto “Sei que é roto [nocello dereito]. Ouvídelo pop.”

 

“Oín meu presión nocello e xeonllo tamén sentiu divertido e eu non podería poñer presión sobre el.

 

“Eu sabía que as primeiras roldas sería difícil, espérase que. O meu plan era levalo en augas profundas.

 

“Adrenaline pode facer vostede facer cousas estúpidas. Con un perforado como Danny, Eu precisaba de movemento.

 

“Eu dixen que eu vin aquí para loitar. Eu doulle crédito, pero eu vin para levar este campionato. Quero un desquite.”
