CARSON, Kalifornië. (April 18, 2015) – Confident and determined, Andrzej “The PolishPrince” Fonfara (27-3, 16 Uitklophoue) spoiled the ring return of Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (48-2-1, 32 Uitklophoue) in resounding fashion Saterdag nag, flooring the former middleweight champion one time en route to a one-sided ninth-round TKO in the main event ofShowtime KAMPIOENSKAP boks woon op Showtime.

 

Fonfara, of Chicago by way of Radon, Pole, dropped Chavez, of Culiacan, Sinaloa, Mexiko, with a wide left hook 50 seconds into the ninth round before a boisterous crowd of 8,636 predominately-Chavez fans at StubHub Center. It was the first time in 52 professional fights that Chavez had hit the canvas from a punch.

 

Upon returning to the corner, Chavez could be heard on the telecast telling trainer Joe Goossen that he had hurt his right leg and could no longer continue. Oomblikke later, the fight was halted. The busier and more accurate fighter throughout, Fonfara was comfortably ahead on the three judgesscorecards by scored of 89-80 en 88-81 twice after nine full rounds.

 

Offered an ecstatic Fonfara, who had his fair share of Polish fans at the venue: “I knew he was a tough fighter, quick and in good shape but when he hit me for the first time in the first round, I knew I was going to win this fight. He didn’t punch as hard as everybody said he did.

 

I saw his punches easily coming in. I know I threw more punches. I was a little surprised that he did not come out for the (10ste) but he was cut, had been getting beat up and had just got knocked down, so he knew what would happen if he came out.

 

Chavez said before the fight that he didn’t think I could take his body punches. I think I took them pretty good and passed that test.

 

I know there are things I can still work on in training to become a more complete boxer, maarvanaand was a dream come true. I want a rematch with (Light Heavyweight World Champion) Adonis Stevenson.

 

Said Chavez, the son of legendary Mexican icon, Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. in the ring afterward and before he was taken to the hospital as a precautionary measure, “Maybe 170,172 pounds is too big for me, maybe I’ll go back down. I’m not sure what my future holds. Dit was 'n baie taai stryd. But I congratulate Andrzej.

 

Goossen told reporters afterward that he hadstopped the fight. It was my decision. I didn’t like what I saw. ”

 

In the first half of a SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING doubleheader, undefeated world-ranked super lightweight Amir Ek (17-0, 14 Uitklophoue), of Davie, Fla., by wyse van Albany, N.Y., won a lopsided 10-round decision over Walter “Die Hammer” Castle.

 

The talented, versatile, Ek het, 24, controlled a fight that featured numerous exchanges especially early on with a left jab and straight right hand.

 

My combinations were effective the whole night, we stuck to our gameplan and came out victorious,” said Imam. “I want any of the world champions next”.

 

Castle, who saw a nine-fight winning streak come to an end, gesê “Ek het gedink ek het die stryd. I didn’t get credit for the punches I threw. The judge who scored it 100-90; goed, that gives me no chance to win here. The cut bothered me in the early rounds, but was not a factor after.

 

Vroeër Saterdag, on SHOWTIME EXTREME, onoorwonne Moises “Die Chucky” Blomme (23-0, 16 Uitklophoue), van Guadalajara, Mexiko, captured the WBA Super Bantamweight Interim World Championship with a thrilling 12-round split decision over defending champion Oscar Escandon (24-2 16 Uitklophoue), van Tolima, Colombia.

 

Blomme, maak sy 2015 debuut en derde begin in 'n ry in die Verenigde State, geseëvier deur die tellings van 116-112 twee keer en 113-115.

 

An emotional Flores was near tears afterward. “Dit is 'n droom wat waar geword – more than a dream come truefor me,” het hy gesê. “I saw my family on the beach, eating meat. I saw my babies better dressed. For me this is a life-changing victory and, Ja, I thought it was very, very close but I absolutely feel I won.

 

I want to fight the best next, the top guys at 122 pounds and right now the top guy is Leo Santa Cruz. That’s who I’d like to fight next. I really want to thank all my team, from top to bottom, for giving me this wonderful opportunity. We’re very happy that we joined the Al Haymon team. We’re very loyal and we just really appreciate everything they’ve done for us.

 

Escandon felt he’d done enough to win despite injuring the right index finger on his right hand in the seventh round.

I did all that I could, everything was in my reach, but I think I broke or fractured my finger,” het hy gesê. “In boxing things happen that are out of your control. Because I hurt my hand, I couldn’t throw punches the way I wanted to with my right hand. I tried to do all I could with it. But I didn’t want to injure it further. I’m OK, but I definitely would love a rematch.

 

In the SHOWTIME EXTREME co-feature, super welterweight Omar “El Sakeman”Chavez (33-3-1, 22 Uitklophoue), of Culiacan, the younger brother of Chavez, Jr. and son of legendary Julio Cesar Sr., won an exciting, hard geveg, give-and-take eight-round unanimous decision over Richard Gutierrez (28-16-1, 17 Uitklophoue), of Arjona, Colombia.

Chavez won by the scores of 78-75 twee keer en 77-74. There were no knockdowns.

 

Unbeaten Argentine welterweight Fabian “TNT” Maidana (6-0, 5 Uitklophoue), Santa Fe, Argentinië, the brother of former world champion Marcos Maidana, registered a second-round TKO (32 sekondes in die rondte) over outclassed Cory Vom Baur (2-3), of Vancouver, Was.

What the fighters, trainers and executives said Donderdag:

 

JULIO CESAR CHAVEZ JR., Voormalige wêreldkampioen

I had a great training camp. I feel better than ever. I am ready for the fight.

 

I know that this is a new weight class for me. I realize that Fonfara is very tough and bigger than me, but I am up for the challenge.

 

I have worked on my boxing during my one year off, and I am very excited and motivated to get back in the ring.

 

I have worked so hard for this fight because I am fighting in a new weight class. I must punch harder, so I have focused on getting stronger during this training camp.

 

I have a great chin, I know how to take punches and my conditioning is great. A lot of fighters can take a punch, but I can take multiple punches and not be hurt.

 

I think that Andrzej Fonfara is one of the best fighters in the light heavyweight division. Inside of boxing, everyone knows who Fonfara is. He knocked down one of the best boxers in the world in Adonis Stevenson.

 

Fonfara is disciplined in the ring, but he doesn’t vary his punches.

 

I understand that my dad didn’t want me to take this fight. I had bigger names I could’ve fought, but I think that Fonfara is a great challenge for me and I like the challenge.

 

I would like to thank SHOWTIME for making this fight happen.

 

Andrzej Fonfara, World Title Challenger

I’m prepared very well and I’m ready for this fight. It’s been a great camp like always. I train hard for each fight. I’m a tough boxer who is feeling great. The weight is good and everything is perfect.

 

I must put everything into Saterdag night and I will win the fight.

 

I must look even better than I did against Stevenson. Everyone said I looked good, but I lost the fight. I didn’t want congratulations because I did not win the fight. But this time I will win the fight. I’m ready for a decision or for a knockout.

 

I’m ready with a couple of plans. I don’t want to run around the ring, I want to fight tough. I’m going to use my jab and my right hand, which is my best punch.

 

I’m not worried about what his father said about not fighting me. Chavez Jr. wants to fight and I will show him that his father was right.

 

It doesn’t matter how I win, I want to win this fight and get my rematch with Adonis Stevenson.

 

“Chavez Jr. is 'n groot vegter. He uses a lot of combinations and has a powerful punch that I must be ready for. I want to show the whole world how good I am when I win this fight Saterdag.

 

If I get the chance, Ek gaan om hom te klop. It’s boxing so you never know what will happen. I want to box round-by-round and win this fight.

 

I lost the fight with Stevenson but I showed that I was a good boxer. I’m a much smarter fighter now because of that experience. That was a fight at the top championship level.

 

It doesn’t matter what Chavez Jr. says at a press conference, we’ll be in the ring Saterdagand everything will happen there.

 

Fan’s can expect heavy punches, knockdowns and a great fight.

 

Amir LOVE, Onoorwonne Super Liggewig Contender

I’m confident going into this fight because of how I train. I have put my heart and soul into this sport since I moved to Florida three years ago. I left everything behind to better myself.

 

I’m going to stay smart and composed in there and do everything I can to get the win.

 

I don’t feel like I need the knockout to come away with a successful fight. Maar, you better believe that if there is an opportunity to knock him out, then I will take advantage of it.

 

“In 2015, Ek wil 'n wêreldkampioen geword. This is my breakout year. A lot of people have been buzzing about me. I want to become the WBC world champion, that’s what I’m heading for.

 

“Ek weet hy is [Castle] a good opponent, he’s got a great resume, and he’s coming to fight. He has a great record, so that alone shows what he’s capable of. Soos Saterdag night may the better man win.

 

I’ve boxed styles like [sy] plenty of times, but you never know, he could come out different Saterdagnag.

 

I’m ready to put on a great show for the SHOWTIME audience.

 

CASTILLO WALTER, Super Liggewig Contender

I’m coming here to fight. I can tell you one thing, Amir Imam made a big mistake by taking this fight.

 

I’ve fought a lot of tough fighters; my two losses were by decisions where I feel I was robbed. I’ve fought better fighters than Amir has.

 

“Soos Saterdag, I’m going to announce to the whole world that Walter Castillo is here to stay and he’s going to be a world champion.

SR JULIO CESAR CHAVEZ.

Being in Los Angeles is like being in Mexico for me; I have had many great memories. I became the world champion for this first time here and my son also became the world champion for the first time here, te.

 

Julio definitely has a very difficult fight ahead of him.

 

If I was Julio’s manager, I wouldn’t have taken this fight. Fonfara is a difficult and tough fighter.

 

My son wants to fight fighters of quality and wants credibility in boxing.

 

Julio has worked and trained very hard for this fight .He has the capability to win and we expect that it will go very well.

 

JOE GOOSSEN, Chavez’ Trainer

Julio has a window here the next five, six, seven years that he can capitalize on.

 

I think he’s left the childish stuff behind, and we’re all guilty of being childish.

 

I think that Julio has surprised his father with his determination heading into this fight.

He’s got a left hook to the liver that just sends a shock through your body.

 

He’s not soft. He’s a real fighter. I have been around enough fighters to know that he’s a real fighter. Nommer een, he has the never-say- die attitude in there.

 

We’re up against a very well-schooled, blue collar, workmanlike fighter in Fonfara.

 

He is an athletic, improvisational fighter, in that you don’t know where everything’s coming from.

 

I’ve watched a lot of Fonfara tape, and he pretty much repeats what he does, but he repeats it well.

 

This is going to be a battle. You’ve got two contrasting styles and personalities.

 

Julio has 51 fights under his belt. He’s no rookie and he comes from a great bloodline. (In the short time I’ve been with him, it has been) more of an association than a dictatorial effort between the two of us.

 

Based on former camps, he’s never really extracted himself from comfortable surroundings and put himself in a position where he is completely isolated like he was in Lake Tahoe.

 

SAM COLONNA, Fonfara’s Trainer

Fonfara could turn it up whenever. He could be down on the scorecards and one punch he throws could change someone’s world. He’s proven in the past that he has power in both hands.

 

The styles in this fight are perfect for each other. When people ask about the fight I say it could go either way, it depends on who catches the other first.

 

I’m looking for Fonfara to dominate, but Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. is a warrior, he comes to fight, he knows how to go to the body like his father used to, so we’ve been working on all of these strategies.

 

A knockout win would be a dream come true to me. That’s what I’ve been looking for all these years. Winning this huge fight would change everything for Fonfara and myself.

 

This camp that Andrzej had was the best we’ve ever had. He worked hard, he had time to train and there’s no excuses.

 

We’re coming to fight a war. Don’t forget that wars are won by strategy.

 

People say to listen to your father. His father told him not to take this fight, but he took it anyway and that was a mistake.

 

I see this fight not going past 10 rondes, with us getting the knockout.

 

STACY MCKINLEY, Imam se afrigter

Amir has always trained very hard, but I did see a change in him in this training camp after the last fight. He has stepped up his training by two levels.

 

He learned a lot about his fight against [Fidel Maldonado] under the bright SHOWTIME lights at the MGM Grand.

 

Amir is always confident going into each fight, but he made a mistake in the Maldonado fight. He rolled his right hand and forgot about the left hand and was knocked down. He had to pay for his mistakes but it’s all a learning experience, he still has only 16 professional fights under his belt.

 

Castillo has a great jab and good combinations. A guy like that throws a lot of punches, but there is a technique to breaking down a fighter like that.

 

We can’t spend a lot of time on the ropes, and we must go after his body because his body is weak. Castillo is going to get knocked out Saterdag.

 

I think that Amir is going to open up a lot of eyes Saterdag.”

VAN NUYS, Kalifornië.(April 13, 2015) – Voormalige wêreldkampioen Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. het 'n media oefensessie Vrydag in front of a packed house at Ten Goose Boxing Gym in Van Nuys, Kalifornië., as the Mexican superstar prepares to make his Showtime KAMPIOENSKAP boks® debuut op Saterdag, April 18, by die StubHub Center in Carson, Kalifornië., woon op Showtime(10 namiddag. EN/7 namiddag. PT).

 

In die belangrikste gebeurtenis van die Showtime KAMPIOENSKAP boksdoubleheader, Mexikaanse superster Chavez, Jr. (48-1-1, 32 Uitklophoue) meets dangerous brawler Andrzej Fonfara (26-3, 15 Uitklophoue) in 'n 12-ronde ligswaargewig bout.

 

In die 10-ronde mede-funksie, top 10 ingedeel junior weltergewig aanspraakmaker Amir Ek (16-0, 14 Uitklophoue) is daarop gemik om 'n stap nader aan 'n wêreldtitelgeleentheid te beweeg wanneer hy sy tweede begin maak 2015 teen mede-magspotter Walter Castillo (25-2, 18 Uitklophoue).

 

Julio Cesar Chavez, waarskynlik die grootste Mexikaanse vegter van alle tye, het 'n verskyning in oefensessie se sy seun sy ondersteuning en aanbod woorde van bemoediging wys.

 

Hier is wat Chavez Jr., Julio Cesar Chavez and Joe Goossen (afrigter) te sê gehad het Vrydag by die Los Angeles-gebied gym:

 

JULIO CESAR CHAVEZ JR., Voormalige wêreldkampioen

I am very focused going into this fight. I have changed a lot mentally this past year.

 

I am fighting [Andrzej] Fonfara now because I like big opponents. I like the challenge of fighting good, hungry fighters. Just because Fonfara doesn’t have the name recognition of other fighters, it doesn’t make him an easy fighter. Hy is moeilik.

 

I feel comfortable at light heavyweight. Any time that you can add a couple pounds, you feel better. Although I will be fighting at 175, I feel most comfortable at 168 as 'n bokser. Since I have had one year off, it was a better choice to fight at this weight so that I could see how my body feels.

 

Since I have added a few pounds, I have become a more physical and stronger boxer. The light heavyweight division has very big and physical contenders.

 

“Joe [Goossen] is a great trainer. He is a great motivator to his fighters and makes them better. I have worked very hard with him for the 35 days we spent together in Lake Tahoe.

 

When I was training with Freddie Roach, it was very different. I think Freddie is a great trainer, but Joe also has a lot of experience and we have made a connection together.

 

I really liked training in Lake Tahoe. The altitude, die ring, everything I needed was there. I felt very comfortable up there and I would like to come back there to train for a fight again.

 

I promise a great fight, this is a very exciting fight. Fonfara isn’t an easy opponent, but he has never seen an opponent like me.

 

 

SR JULIO CESAR CHAVEZ.

I am here to support and be with my son. I try to give him good advice. I tell him to train and prepare hard, and fortunately he is doing that well.

 

I think Joe [Goossen] is doing a great job, we are on the same page. We are all focused on him [Chavez Jr.] getting to the fight well prepared. This fight requires great preparation because he is going into the fight at a weight that’s higher than his normal weight and he is facing a very tough opponent.

 

He must go in 100 percent to win this fight.

 

I think there has been a 180 degree turn in his career. I see this as a positive because he can really develop his ability and looks very well prepared.

 

I would’ve liked to have seen him take a tune up fight instead because of his long layoff; I particularly didn’t want this fight.

 

“Julie [Chavez Jr.] wants credibility in this sport and that’s why he made the decision to take this fight, even though it’s a dangerous decision. He must be very prepared for this fight.

 

JOE GOOSSEN, Chavez Jr.s’ Trainer

I’ve been asked over the years who the one fighter was that I would like to work and my answer was always Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

 

I’ve always really admired his style. I had known him as a kid, his father is a legend. It had always seemed like a dream job for me, and out of nowhere I got it.

 

Lake Tahoe was tremendous for training camp. You are isolated and it’s not an easy thing. When you aren’t training you are sitting in a hotel room. You are deprived the comforts of home, but it really gives you that concentration and dedication factor and I think that will interpret into some positive results.

 

I matured over my years, once I had a kid and a family and I think the same has happened with Julio. Life becomes clearer when you put away the immaturity. You realize that you have a future and if you really want to access what’s available to you, then you are going to have to work hard and dedicate yourself to it.

 

Going to Lake Tahoe and really working hard is a sign of maturity and I think that’s what Julio is going through right now. He really showed it by leaving his home and spending an extended period of time up there. To me that is a great indicator that he is mature, dedicated and taking this fight very seriously.

 

Of course I believe Julio is ready to fight Fonfara. The fight was made before I even came on board, but that’s the challenge that I am presented with. You must figure out a good game plan and figure out what you’re up against.

 

Just because Julio has been out a year doesn’t mean that it’s going to be a cake walk for Fonfara. We went up to Lake Tahoe with one thing in mind, and that’s winning this fight and that’s exactly what we’re going to do.

UNDEFEATED 140-POUND CONTENDER AMIR IMAM TO FACE WALTER CASTILLO IN CHAVEZ-FONFARA CO-FEATURE APRIL 18 ON SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING®

Saterdag, April 18, Woon op Showtime® (10 namiddag. EN/7 namiddag. PT)

From StubHub Center In Carson, Kalifornië.

NEW YORK (April 8, 2015) – Top 10 ranked super lightweight contender Amir Ek (16-0, 14 Uitklophoue) is daarop gemik om 'n stap nader aan 'n wêreldtitelgeleentheid te beweeg wanneer hy sy tweede begin maak 2015 teen mede-magspotter Walter Castillo (25-2, 18 Uitklophoue) in the 10-round co-feature of Showtime KAMPIOENSKAP boks op Saterdag, April 18, LIVE on Showtime (10 namiddag. EN/7 namiddag. PT)

 

In the main event from StubHub Center in Carson, Kalifornië., Mexikaanse superster Julio Cesar Chavez(48-1-1, 32 Uitklophoue) faces exciting brawler Andrzej Fonfara (26-3, 15 Uitklophoue), of Chicago by way of Poland, in 'n 12-ronde ligswaargewig bout.

 

Een van die vinnigste stygende vooruitsigte boks se, die 24-jarige Imam het uitgeslaan 14 van sy 16 professional opponents since turning pro in 2011. The Albany, N.Y., native is coming off a fifth-round TKO of Fidel Maldonado Jr., in a brawl on Jan. 17 on SHOWTIME that featured five total knockdowns. Ek het, currently ranked No. 4 in the WBA and No. 7 in die WBC, touched the canvas for the first time in his career but bounced back and relied on his power to floor Maldonado a total of four times.

 

I know Walter is a tough fighter, he comes forward and throws a lot of punches,” Imam sê. “But I will figure him out quickly once I get inside the ring. I’m working on a lot of different things for this training camp, lots of tricky moves that are going to excite the fans. It’s great to fight outdoors at StubHub Center and to showcase my talents on SHOWTIME. I’m here to entertain and prove I’m ready for that title shot.

 

Castle (25-2, 18 Uitklophoue), van Managua, Nicaragua, has won nine straight and KO’d six of his last seven opponents. The 26-year-old has fought mostly in Nicaragua and the only blemishes on his record are a split-decision loss in his pro debut and a controversial 2008 split decision on the road against former world champ Vicente Mosquera in Panama. Castle, who has knocked out his last four opponents inside of four rounds, will make his second start in the U.S. after winning his American debut via first round TKO last October.

 

“Ek is baie opgewonde vir hierdie stryd. I’ve been training hard for months now and can’t wait for the bell to ring,” Castillo said. “Where I’m from we have a history of great warriors like Alexis Arguello and Rosendo Alvarez and on April 18 I’m looking to moving one step closer to adding my name to that list. Imam may be undefeated but I’m ready for a war.

"Ons het hierdie perskonferensie omdat die Bermane ons gesien Saterdag nag was nie die Bermane ons almal weet.

Sy spiere is nie werk nie, en hulle het gedink hy het bloed in sy urine, sodat hulle het 'n paar toetse en het hom in die hospitaal tot vanoggend.

"Ons wil Deontay Wilder te jubel vir sy werk doen, maar die man voor hom was gestremde en nie in staat om sy werk te doen, maar dat moet nie iets weg te neem van sy oorwinning. Deontay presteer en het 'n groot taak. Dit is jammer, maar Bermane sal hê om dit te doen 'n ander dag. Wetende dat die kampioen wat ons in Deontay het so welsprekend gesê dat Hy dit sal neem op iemand, Ek is seker sonder enige teensinnigheid sou hy 'n rematch verleen met die werklike Bermane as die man wat gestremd is in die ring, nie weg te neem die oorwinning moes hy en die manier waarop hy geskyn.

"Ons loof Deontay en hoop hy kan kampioen lank genoeg om waar ons kan 'n herontmoeting van die hê 'terugkeer na glorie."

"Net soos ons groot militêre, wanneer hulle platgeslaan, hulle kry weer terug. Selfs met sy ernstige ontwatering Bermane nog daar gestaan ​​vir 12 rondes.

"Ons wil Richard Sturm bedank, President van MGM Grand vermaak en Stephen Espinoza met Showtime Boks vir die speel van 'n groot deel in om hierdie program saam. Ons verwelkom beide ons personeel en die MGM personeel om dit te doen 'n prysenswaardige werk vir die maak van dit gebeur. Die gees vir 'terugkeer na glorie' was 'n hoë. Ons het 'n groot kaart met Amir Imam in die stryd van die nag, om platgeslaan en kry terug. Al die gevegte was uitsonderlik. Dit was 'n goeie nag van boks vir die ondersteuners en dit is wat ons is regtig oor.

"Don House so welsprekend gesê die gesondheid van Bermane so belangrik is so toe ek uitgevind het hy was in die hospitaal, Ek het na die dag daar te bly met hom, want gewoonlik het ons net stuur hulle na die hospitaal te bewys nie, maar hulle het besluit om hom te hou. Toe hulle besluit het om hom te hou, Ek moes daar te kry en kyk my vegter. Die personeel was geweldige en baie genadig en baie definitiewe oor wat kon verkeerd wees en ondersoek alle aspekte. Hulle het gesê hy is gesond en moet opstyg 'n maand of so 'n bietjie rus te kry en dan kry om te werk om voor te berei vir sy terugkeer na glorie en terugvat die swaargewig kroon wat tans gehou word deur 'n groot kampioen aangewys Deontay Wilder. "

"Ek wil om verskoning vra vir nie die maak van die post-stryd perskonferensie. Ongelukkig was ek nie in staat om uit te voer in die stryd soos ek wou as gevolg van ernstige ontwatering en spierskade. Ek het nie geweet dit was dat ernstige totdat hulle het vir my gesê. Ek kon daaruit gesterf het. Ek is gelukkig om net myself wees, walk and talk again. Thank God for this, dit is regtig wat saak maak vir my om gesond te wees nou.

"Ek het nie geweet van die erns van dit Saterdag nag. Ek was in staat om te gee die mense 'n goeie show, 12 rondes van boks. As ek moes dit weer te doen sou ek dit weer doen. Dit is nie die einde vir my. Ek sal dit 'n paar weke en dan weer aan die werk te kry. Ek het 'n visie vir hierdie, maar nou is dit net op die pouse. Dit is net 'n kwessie van tyd voordat ek sal terug te kry op my voete en weer loop. Wanneer dit kom by my gesondheid, Ek is uit die hospitaal ontslaan. Hulle sou nie laat my verlaat totdat ek genoeg gehidreer. Ek is dankbaar. Dankie aan my promotor en afrigter, almal wat my verwelkom.

"Om my fans, Ek vra om verskoning vir nie in staat is om uit te voer soos Bermane gewoonlik nie. Ek weet dat mense wat regtig weet my, weet hoe ek veg. My laaste geveg met Chris Arreola, Ek het vir jou 'n goeie show. Dit is jammer dat ek nie kon doen wat ek wou doen met my stryd met Deontay Wilder. Ek wil hom geluk te wens, hy geveg 'n goeie stryd. Hopelik iewers in die toekoms sal ons weer ontmoet.

"Dankie almal vir kom uit na die perskonferensie, Ek is terug op my voete 100 persent nou. Ek het net 'n paar weke of 'n maand van rus om terug te wees waar ek opgehou het. "

DON HOUSE, Stiverne se afrigter

"Dankie ouens vir die komende uit. Die belangrikste ding is dat Bermane is OK. Dit is my grootste bekommernis. Ek iewers opgemerk in die stryd, waarskynlik rondom die derde of vierde ronde, iets is nie reg nie. Selfs al het hy vir my gesê hy was OK, ons almal weet Bermane. Ek gee nie om nie 'n stryd verloor, maar ek het geweet dat iets nie reg is nie, so ek was baie bekommerd. Rondom die negende of 10 ronde Ek dink die stryd om te stop, want jy hoef nie om voort te gaan, maar hy wou om te bly veg.

"Jy het dit nie sien Bermane, jy dalk gesien 10-15 persent van Bermane. Ek het regtig glo en werklik voel dit moet 'n ordentlike stryd vir Bermane gewees het, maar vier rondes of minder sou duur omdat sy krag en spoed. Ons het hom nooit onderskat. Ons opgeleide asof hy veg King Kong. Ek oefen elke vegter soos daardie, onderskat niemand. Maar Saterdagnag, ons het oor 15 persent van Bermane.

"Ons gaan om terug te kyk, sien wat ons verkeerd gedoen het, hoe ons dinge beter kan doen, wat ons moes gedoen het. Ons sal 'n blik op hoe die dehidrasie kan gebeur het neem. Ons sal 'n blik op die stryd en 'n paar van die dinge wat ons gedoen het in die opleiding neem en uit te vind wat ons verkeerd gedoen het. "
