As the only male American boxer to claim Olympic gold in the past

decade, Ward pridružio poput Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard i Oscar De la Hoya.

Jordan, Stephen Curry, Marshawn Lynch and Draymond Green. Ward expertly managed the fight and began to unravel his opponent in the third round when he caught Barrera with a counter left hook, dropping him to the canvas. The rest was a routine victory for Ward, who scored a dominating dispatch of Barrera by way of unanimous decision after 12 kruga. Ward looks forward to a formidable challenge in Brand who is now the only obstacle in the way of his anticipated showdown against Unified Light Heavyweight World Champion Sergey Kovalev in the fall.

 

Bogota, Colombia native Alexander Brand (25-1, 19 KOs) turned professional at the relatively late age of 32 following a long and accomplished amateur career that saw him tally over 400 wins. He burst on to the professional scene in 2009, scoring knockout wins in his first 12 fights and winning 15 njegove prve 17 bouts inside the distance. His first and only professional setback came via an eight-round split decision loss to current WBC Super Middleweight World Champion Badou Jack in a 2012 fight that many ringside observers thought Brand had won. Od tog borba, Brand je prošao sve testove prsten sa letećim bojama, notching eight consecutive victories. U svojoj zadnjoj bout, Brand faced the sternest test of his career since the Jack fight when he fought a favored, undefeated and highly touted light heavyweight Medzhid Bektemirov on December 5, 2015 at Osceola Heritage Center in Kissimmee, Florida. Brand weathered an early Bektemirov blitz, including recovering from a first round knockdown, and notched a 10-round split decision victory by the scores of 98-91, 98-91 i 94-95. The 39 year-old Brand, who has held several regional title including the WBC Latino Super Middleweight and the WBC Silver Interim Super Middleweight Championships, will be looking to pull off another upset on Avgust 6 and thrust himself into light heavyweight title contention.

Ward vs. Barrera je oblikovanje do biti veoma sporne borbe između dva borca ​​koji su obojica su svoje znamenitosti postaviti na utakmici-up protiv Unified Light Heavyweight svjetski prvak Sergej Kovalev.

 

Ispod je ono što borci, promoteri, trenera, menadžeri i drugi podijum gosti morali reći na konferenciji za novinare:

 

 

ANDRE WARD, Dva puta svjetski prvak i funte-za-pound borac top-ocijenjeno::

"Želim da se zahvalim svima što ste došli kao i obično. Bay Area je prekrasan mjesto. Mi često ne dobiju dovoljno kredita za talent koji dolazi odavde, ali za bazu fanova, to je ogroman. Ja sam samo zahvalan što iz mjesta kao što je ovaj i zahvalni da imaju ljubav i podršku u svakom slučaju da mi donosimo ovdje. Zahvalna sam da ja i momci kao Marshawn Lynch, Damian Lillard i Warriors stavi ovo mjesto na karti i ljudi uzimaju najave na nacionalnoj sceni. To je jako važno za mene.

 

"Što se tiče same borbe, to je vrlo jednostavno za mene ... neko ko me poznaje, oni znaju kako radim i znaju kako označiti. Ja ne uhvate u šta je sledeće. Ja ne uhvate se u ono što ljudi govore. Ja sam svjestan onoga što je rečeno. Znam šta je govorio moj protivnik i ja da ga na njegovu riječ. Uradio sam sve što sam trebao da uradim, kao i uvek i kao da sam uradio poslednji 10 godina moje karijere. Uzeo sam na najbolji ... ako to nije još jedan šampion onda je to glavni kandidat ... a to se ne razlikuje. Vi samo znam da sam fokusiran i zaključani u kao što sam uvijek sam. Spreman sam i spreman sam za rat dolaze Mart 26."

SULLIVAN BARRERA, Broj jedan ocijenio IBF poluteškoj kandidat:

"Htio sam da kažem hvala što ste došli ovamo. Želim da se zahvalim HBO, hvala svima. Hvala Andre Ward prihvatili moja borba. Obećavam svima koji dolazi u arenu da sam imao veliku pripremu i ovo je veliki san. Te noći, Ja ću imati veliki šou za sve. "

DAVID ITSKOWITCH, COO Boks - Roc Nation Sports:

"Dva vrha svjetlo teškaša na planeti će se sudariti na Mart 26. Oni zajedno imaju evidenciju 45-0 sa 27 Kosa i nepotrebno je reći, niti je probao poraz kao profesionalni. Iako svaki muškarac ima impresivan protivnik ispred njega, obojica imaju svoje oči na Sergej Kovalev i njegova tri svjetska naslova pojasevi, ali prvo moraju poslovanja da prisustvuju na u subotu noć.

 

"Kad god sam izaći na Oakland za događaj, a ja sam sa Andre na funkciju na kojoj on govori za medije, To me da udari očigledno, on je poseban talent atletski, ali on je i posebna osoba i nadam se da su svi ovdje u Oakland razumije i cijeni da. On je principijelan porodičan čovjek koji uvijek pokušava učiniti pravu stvar, a to je nešto što je rijetkost u životu ovih dana, ali je posebno rijedak u sportu. Nadam se da mu zahvalan. Boks karijere ne traju zauvijek. On neće biti zauvijek borbi, tako da svako treba cijeniti ono što imate ovdje u Andre Ward.

 

"Andre zarobljeni zlatnu medalju na Olimpijskim igrama u Atini i zadnji U.S. boxer da su učinili. Njegova lista poraženih neprijatelja čita kao ko je ko u super srednjoj kategoriji. On je dominirao i nokautirao bivšeg poluteškoj kategoriji svjetski prvak, Chad Dawson u njihovim 2012 Showdown. U svojoj zadnjoj borbi, on je dominirao dva puta svjetska naslova Challenger Paul Smith Jun 20 Oracle Arena. On se upušta u narednom poglavlju u karijeri na Mart 26, ponovo vraća u Oracle Areni, kao što je čini njegov potez do svjetlo teškoj kategoriji spreman učiniti ono što je učinio u super srednjoj kategoriji ... to čistila i dominira svima koji stoji na putu.

"Zaista bih da se zahvalim Andre Ward. On nije imao da se na neporažen borac u svom prvom borbi u poluteškoj kategoriji, ali je to učinio i mislim da je za svaku pohvalu.

 

"U svojoj zadnjoj borbi, Sullivan je postao obavezan kandidat za Sergej Kovalev je IBF pojas. Mogao je da se zavali i čekao svoju titulu borbu, ali umjesto toga je vidjeli borbu protiv Andre Ward kao priliku da se zaista postigne za veličinu i on to uradio. Kao što svi znamo, Glavni Događaji i Roc Nation Sports imaju velike planove za Andre Ward i Sergej Kovalev kasnije ove godine i Sullivan Barrera mogu stvarno uzrujan da korpu jabuka.

 

"Oba muškarca, Sullivan i Andre, su sve jahanje na ishod Subotu borba. U klimi koje imamo sada u boksu, to je osvježavajuće da vidi pravi ratnici koji se ne boje da rizikuju. Obojica su zaslužuju naše poštovanje i divljenje za to. To je ono što naš sport treba da bude oko.

Ono što možda ne znate je da je imao uspješnu amaterske karijere na Kubi, a zatim izgubili nekoliko godina svog premijera dok je bez mana u Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama. Došao je jako dug put da bi danas ovdje na ovaj trenutak i ovu priliku. On je gladan, On je uvjeren i da je spreman. "

Evo nas opet, to je moj 7th vrijeme Oracle i to je uvijek blagoslov.

Nismo ga pokupi, jer on je mekan na dodir. izabrali smo ga jer je hteo da me spreman i pokaži mi šta je ovo težina klase je sve o. Ako pogledate moju karijeru, tu je mjesto za podešavanje-up koji nisam imao puno. Želiš da se bore najbolje i ako se ne bore najbolji, želite da se bori broj jedan kandidat. To je ono što mi radimo.

Vidio sam neke članke tvrde da propustio premijera. To je ludo za mene. Osećam da sam kao dobar kao što sam ikada bio. Ja sam bio u boksu teretani bez mnogo pauze za prošlost 20 godina. Moj mozak mi se zahvalio za posljednje dvije godine. Moje tijelo mi se zahvalio. Moglo bi mi još dvije godine u mojoj karijeri.

 

"Moram samo biti ja. Tko sam je dovoljno. Ne moram da se pojavi za Kovalev u publici u subotunoć. Samo treba da sprovede plan igre. Mislim da će poslati poruku da treba da pošalju i ako se to ne desi, Onda će [Kovalev] dobiti poruku kada se borimo.

 

"Ako ne pobijediti ovu borbu, ne postoji ništa niz put. Ako ne pobijediti ovu borbu, Ja ne zaslužuju da se bori za titulu. To je realnost moju situaciju.

 

"Barrera nikada nije borio Muškarac poput mene prije, tako da mogu govoriti dobra igra. Oni mogu dominirati naslove koji su doveli do borbe. Oni mogu reći sve glatke stvari žele reći. Mi samo želimo da dominira naslovima Nedjelja jutro nakon borbe je gotova. To je ono što sam fokusiran na ".

 

SULLIVAN BARRERA, Broj jedan ocijenio IBF poluteškoj kandidat:

"Ja sam jači od Ward. Imam kubanski pozadinu i puno vještina sam naučio tamo. Više od svega, odlučnost da se prevaziđu ništa ispred mene će mi pomoći da pobjedi Ward na Mart 26.

 

"Kada sam u ringu, to je moja kuća.

 

"Šta god Ward ima, Ja ću prilagoditi ga i prevazići.

 

"Imam dvije ruke. On ima dvije ruke. Imam posla na Mart 26.

 

"Znam Ward i Kovalev su vrlo visoko poštuju i oni stvaraju mnogo novca i mnogo interesa, ali oni ne znaju šta Sullivan Barrera je u stanju da uradi. Ja ću dokazati da u subotu.

 

"Nisam baš Muškarac koji ima tražiti nokaut. Moja boks vještine govore sami za sebe. Ja se borim Andre Ward i bori ovdje u Oakland, tako da ne mislim da je odluka će biti donesena u moju korist.

JOSEPH DIAZ JR., NABF Featherweight Champion:

"Ne mogu očekivati ​​šta Jayson uradio Ronny Rios tokom ove borbe. Moram da idem tamo, testirati ga i prilagoditi kada sam u ringu.

 

"Ako se ukaže prilika u kojoj je povređen i vidim da mi udarci su mu preplavljuju, onda naravno da ću se tamo, biti agresivni i pobrinite uzimam ga što je prije moguće.

 

"Znam sve unutra, odsekavši prsten i uzimajući ga u tijelo odmah će ga srušiti. To će da ga ne kreću koliko i kasnije u rundama mogu sletjeti začarani udaraca u glavu. Ja ću da ga u tijelu odmah.

 

"Psihički sam 100% spreman. Ovo je veliki korak u mojoj karijeri, pa sam mentalno fokusiran. Ja sam dobro pripremljen. Osjećam se kao da je ovo trenutak sam čekao cijeli svoj čitav život. Osjećam se kao da sam spreman za to i ne mogu čekati Mart 26. Trenirao sam jako teško za ovu borbu i da sam dobro pripremljeni za to.

 

"Zaista želim da dam izjavu ovu borbu. Želim pokazati svijetu da Joseph Diaz mogao biti sljedeći velika stvar u boksu, tako da sam trenirao jako teško staviti na veliku borbu za fanove borbu, biti vrlo agresivan i da ga je rat tamo. Nadam se da Jayson Velez je 110% spreman jer želim da bude na njegov najbolji.

Jayson VELEZ, Najbolje ocijenjeno: pero kandidat:

"Na moj nivo, svaki tip je glavni kandidat. Moram da treniram jače i poboljšati moju odbranu. Radio sam na tome.

"Vidio sam Diaz tuče. Mi smo se nadmeću nekoliko puta. Ima brzinu. Ima gladi. To je njegova HBO debi, tako da je definitivno motivisan, ali tako sam. To će biti velika borba.

 

"Želim biti prvak riječi. Znam da to želi previše. U subotu, ćemo znati ko želi više. Oboje želimo osvojiti i oboje smo obuku za pobjedu. Borba između snaga i brzina je odličan meč-up. Da ne spominjem da je meksički i ja sam Portorikanac. Možete očekivati ​​veliku borbu i to ne onaj koji želite da propustite. "

Na Mart 26, NABO Junior Welterweight Champion Maurice “Mighty Mo” Hooker (19-0-2, 14 KOs) risks his unbeaten record against Wilfrido “La Roca” Buelvas (17-5, 11 KOs) of Barranquilla, Colombia in a ten-round junior welterweight bout. Hooker, rated number seven by the WBO, is coming off of a career-best win on October 17, 2015 against his toughest opponent to date in Ghislain Maduma (17-2, 11 KOs) u Madison Square Garden. Hooker successfully defended his NABO title with the 10-round decision win over Maduma on the undercard of Gennady Golovkin vs. David Lemieux in a fight that was featured on the event’s “freeview” in the United States and streamed online around the world. Buelvas, a former WBA Fedebol champion, has won two of his last three bouts by knockout and fought Humberto Soto for the WBC Silver International Super Lightweight title in 2014, going the 12-round distance before losing a decision to the former World Champion.

 

Born and raised in Oak Cliff, Teksas, a rough suburb of Dallas, Hooker found a boxing home at Maple Avenue Boxing Gym by way of an outreach program for at-risk youths. His natural talent was soon noticed resulting in him competing as an amateur, during which time he participated in over 100 tuče, compiling a record of 97 pobjeda i samo 7 gubici, sa 67 victories coming by way of knockout. Hooker turned professional on April 29, 2011, taking on the vastly more experienced Tyrone Chatman (7-1, 5 KO-a) at the Orpheum Theater in St. Louis. After four rounds, the judges saw the fight 40-36, 37-39 i 38-38, making the fight a split draw. Undeterred, in his next fight on June 24, 2014, Hooker scored his first professional win, knocking out Wilbert Mitchell in the first round at the Dr. Pepper Arena in Frisco, Teksas. Eleven wins (eight by knockout) later, he took on undefeated Abel Ramos (8-0, 4 KO-a) Siječanj 17, 2014 in a bout that was featured on ShoBox from the Cook Convention Center in Memphis. After eight close, hard-fought rounds, the judges saw the fight a draw. Hooker followed the draw with a six-round unanimous decision win over Adrian Rodriguez Garza (8-2, 6 KO-a) na April 26 at Fitzgerald’s Casino and Hotel in Tunica, Misisipi. Four consecutive knockout victories would follow before he took on fellow undefeated prospect Eduardo Galindo (10-0-1, 7 KO-a) juna 26, 2015 at the Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center in Dallas for the vacant NABO Junior Welterweight Championship. “Mighty Mo” did not disappoint his legion of hometown fans who saw him capture the title with a sixth round technical knockout victory.

 

Hailing from Rancho Cucamonga, Kaliforniji i bori se u boks žarište Oxnard, neporažen Daniel "Twitch" Franco (12-0-3, 7 KO-a) meets Mexican veteran German “Panteonero” Meraz(52-37-1, 30 KOs) in an eight-round featherweight bout on Mart 26. Featured for the second time on a Ward undercard, the sharp-boxing Franco will look to improve on his undefeated record against an opponent with literally six times his pro boxing experience. Meraz is only 29 years old but has already logged an amazing 90 professional bouts and has won four of his last six fights by knockout. He has fought current World Champion Juan Carlos Payano, Three-Time U.S. Olympian Rau’shee Warren and highly-touted prospect Gervonta Davis, going the distance with all three.

 

Franco began boxing at the age of eight, gomilaju amater rekord 67-15, osvojivši Oxnard PAL prvenstva u 2006 i California State Silver Rukavice prvenstvo u 2007 usput. Tokom Franco profesionalni debi na dan 18, 2010, on je porazio Emanuel Machorro u klubu 401 u Ontario, California preko treće kolo tehničkog nokauta. Uprkos tome što je upisao kao redovan student na koledžu Chaffey u Rancho Cucamonga, Franco impresionirao na početku karijere, sastavljanje je neporažena rekord sa dva remija u prostorima u cijeloj Kaliforniji do kraja 2013. Jedan od tih remija došli protiv Alejandro Ochoa u Mirna Cannon u Montebello, California septembra 20, 2013, but in a rematch three months later, Franco outmatched Ochoa postigao šest okrugli jednoglasnom odlukom pobjede u Westin Bonaventure Hotel u Los Angeles. Juna 20, 2015, during Ward’s return to the ring at Oracle Arena, Franco saw action in an eight-round junior lightweight bout against Jonathan Alcantara and won by unanimous decision. A hand injury suffered in that bout kept Franco out of action until Decembar 21when he scored a decision victory over Hector Garcia in Tijuana, Meksiko.

 

A promising unbeaten prospect from Salinas, Kalifornija, Rudy “The Revelation” Puja. Jr. (7-0, 6 KOs)looks to extend his undefeated streak against Carlos “Kalimba” Lozano (7-5, 4 KOs) Ensenada, Mexico in a six-round middleweight bout. Puga turned in a career-best performance in his last match-up on February 12 in knocking out Alejandro Osuna (4-2, 2 KO-a) in two rounds at the Double Tree Hotel in Ontario, Kalifornija. Sada, just a little over a month later, “The Revelation” will step into the ring against a tough opponent in Lozanao, a southpaw who has never been stopped and already has a ten-round decision victory under his belt.

 

Having compiled an exceptional amateur record of 99-8, Puga made his professional debut on September 2, 2011, scoring a fourth round technical knockout victory over Raul Talamontes at the Sports Complex in his hometown. Back in the ring less than two months later, Puga Jr. raised his record to 2-0 with a first round technical knockout of Jose Jesus Hurtado at the Sherwood Inn in Salinas. U junu 2012, he sent Thomas Turner to the mat four times in scoring a second round technical knockout win at the Joint at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. After a little more than a year away from the ring, he rededicated himself to the “sweet science” with a vengeance and on February 17, 2014, Puga Jr. made his comeback stopping Charon Spain in the third round with an overpowering body shot at the Salinas Storm House in his native Salinas. Promotional issues kept Puga Jr. out of the ring for the next year and injuries led to a slow 2015, but Puga Jr. scored a a fourth round technical knockout win over of Katrell Straus on April 24 and a six-round unanimous decision over Juan Carlos Rojas on Novembar 21, both fights taking place at the Double Tree Hotel in Ontario, Kalifornija.

 

Brooklyn’s 20-year-old, neporažen Junior “The Young God” Younan (7-0, 6 KO-a) vraća u ring na Mart 26 after a nine-month layoff to take on Cristian Solorzano (4-7, 3 KOs) Sonora, Mexico in a four-round super middleweight fight. Younan has battled multiple nagging injuries since scoring a second round technical knockout victory over Mike Sawyer on the Miguel Cotto vs. Daniel Geale undercard on June 6, 2015 u Barclays Center u Brooklyn, Njujork. Sada 100 percent healthy, Younan looks to make Solozano his third straight knockout victim. Solorzano, a naturally bigger fighter, has campaigned in the light heavyweight division and is coming off of a knockout win.

 

Younan, trained by his father Sherif, a former professional boxer himself, began fighting competitively at age eight and only two years later was called a “boxing prodigy” by the New York Times. He compiled an amateur record of 90-5, racking up an impressive series of titles along the way including nine Junior Olympic championships, nine Junior Metro championships, eight New York State Silver Gloves championships and five Regional Silver Gloves championships. U 2011, he was crowned National Junior Golden Gloves champion and was U.S.A. Boxing’s number one rated junior boxer in his weight class. Less than a month after his 18th rođendan, Younan made his professional debut on November 9, 2013, at the Aviator Sports and Events Center in Brooklyn, Njujork, stopping Kenneth Schmitz in the first round. Younan would go on to knockout his next three opponents before going the distance for the first time against Azamat Umarzoda on July 2, 2014 u Foxwoods Resort Casino u Mashantucket, Konektikat. He followed that fight with a first round knockout of Marlon Farr on Avgust 13 the BB King Blues Club and Grill in New York on Avgust 13.

Chinese heavyweight Zhang “Big Bang” Zhilei (7-0, 4 KOs) joins the undercard on Mart 26 in a four-round bout against an opponent yet to be determined. The Silver Medalist from the 2008 Beijing Olympics continues to infuse excitement into the heavyweight division and is coming off of a first round technicalknockout win over David Koswara on February 20 at the Lanzhou Sports Arena in Lanzhou, Kina.

 

Born on May 2, 1983 in Henan, Zhang began his amateur career in 2003, participating in the World Championships. A breakthrough came in 2007 at the World Championships where Zhang defeated the trio of Nurpais Torobekov, Rustam Rygebayev and Daniel Beahan en route to the semifinals where he lost to Ukrainian Vyacheslav Glazkov. By capturing a bronze medal and finishing the competition in third place, he qualified for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. The Chinese powerhouse nearly reached the zenith of amateur success in the summer of 2008, entering the super heavyweight finals at the Summer Olympics in Beijing against Italy’s Roberto Cammarelle. It was not to be as Zhang suffered his first defeat of that Olympiad, losing to Cammarelle, but proudly adding to the host country’s medal total with a Silver. U 2009, Zhang captured a gold medal at the China National Games, an event of equal prestige to the Olympics in China. 2013 saw yet another gold medal winning performance in the China National Games, setting the stage for “Big Bang” to embark on a professional career while basing himself in the United States. On August 8, 2014, Zhang made his professional debut by scoring a first-round knockout win over Curtis Lee Tate in Fallon, Nevada in a fight that was televised live on ESPN2. On March 14, 2015, Zhang beat Eric George via a four-round unanimous decision at the Armory in Jersey City, Nju Džerzi. He followed that with another four-round unanimous decision win, this time over Glenn Thomas on the highly anticipated Cotto-Geale undercard at Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Jun 6. Next came a sixth round technical knockout win over Dennis Benson at The Playground in Atlantic City on Avgust 15. To end the year, Zhang was featured on the undercard of the Novembar 21 Cotto vs. Canelo mega-fight at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, where scored a four-round unanimous decision victory over Juan Goode.

 

Lokalni Hayward, California omiljena Aaron Coley (12-1-1, 6 KO-a) faces a very stern test in a six-round junior middleweight bout against Zatim Ryskeldiev (11-3-2, 7 KOs) of West Hollywood, Kalifornija, a Kyrgyzstan native who is undefeated in his last seven fights.

 

Na Mart 26, Coley will look follow his most recent victory, a unanimous decision over Jeremy Ramos onSiječanj 23 at the Marriott on Broadway in Oakland, with another win in front of his hometown fans. Prior to his January win he scored two unanimous decision triumphs, including his June 20, 2015 performance against Yusmani Abreu (who Ryskeldiev defeated by technical knockout in September) on the undercard of Ward’s last fight. Considered a promising prospect in boxing circles, Coley’s lone loss came via decision to one of boxing’s hottest prospects in Ievgen Khytrov in a bout that was televised live on Showtime’s ShoBox on April 10, 2015 from The Aviator Sports Complex in Brooklyn, Njujork.
