Magħrufa għall-karattru tiegħu qawwija u l-integrità barra l-anell u istint gwerriera tiegħu ġewwa fih, 32 year-old Andre Ward’s skill and talent were apparent early in his outstanding amateur career. He racked up every title in the books, culminating in a gold medal in the light heavyweight division at the 2004 Logħob Olimpiku f'Ateni, Il-Greċja. As the only male American boxer to claim Olympic gold in the past

decade, Ward ssieħbu-tipi ta 'Muhammad Ali, Zokkor Ray Leonard u Oscar De La Hoya. Huwa mdawwar professjonali fuq Diċembru 18, 2004, scoring a second round technical knockout victory over Chris Molina at Staples Center in a fight that was televised live on HBO. He has gone on to rack up 27 more victories since then, building an ever-growing legion of fans in the process. Wara li ssir l-Ring Magazine u WBA Super Middleweight Champion tad-Dinja, rising to the number two spot on the pound-for-pound list and winning the 2011 Fighter tas-Sena Award (ESPN, Sports Illustrated, Ring Magazine u l-Assoċjazzjoni Kittieba Boxing 'l-Amerika), kien ħabbar li Ward ffirmat ftehim promozzjonali esklussiva Roc Nazzjon Sports f'Jannar 2015, ftuħ ta 'kapitolu ġdid fil-karriera tiegħu boxing storied. Il-prodott Bay Area lura lill-ċirku fuq Ġunju 20, 2015 fil-Oracle Arena quddiem ta 'fannijiet Hometown tiegħu fil Oakland, California u skorja eliminatorja disa 'round fuq Paul Smith, continuing his unbeaten streak which dates back to when he was a 12-year-old amateur. In his most recent fight on March 26, 2016, Ward made his highly publicized 175-pound debut against Cuba’s undefeated and IBF number one rated light heavyweight contender Sullivan Barrera in front of frenzied crowd at Oracle Arena that including luminaries such as Michael B. Ġordan, 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 rawnds. 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 jirbaħ. He burst on to the professional scene in 2009, scoring knockout wins in his first 12 fights and winning 15 tal-ewwel tiegħu 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. Peress li ġlieda, Brand għaddiet kull test taċ-ċirku bil-kuluri li jtajru, notching eight consecutive victories. Fl-aħħar bout tiegħu, 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 u 94-95. Il 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 Awissu 6 and thrust himself into light heavyweight title contention.

Hawn taħt huwa dak li l-ġellieda kellhom jgħidu matul il-workout midja finali:

 

ANDRE WARD, Żewġ Ħin Dinja Champion u top-rated lira-għal-lira ġlied:

"Inħoss tajba u I am lesta li tmur. Jien quċċata fil-ħin. Jien biss eċċitati biex tiksbu nhar is-Sibtlejl.

 

"I użati biex issuq mill-Oracle Arena fuq 880 bħala kid fit-triq tiegħi biex Gym King u wonder jekk I tista 'tagħmel dan hemm jum wieħed u [trainer] Virgil [Hunter] użati biex jgħidu b'kunfidenza, "Inti qed tmur biex lett hemmhekk." Kif sibt anzjani, I użati biex tmur xi wħud mill-karti mqiegħda fis fix-xena. I kien għadu dilettant u nixtieq biss ħolma. Ħaġa li jmiss inti taf, fil 2009, I kien fil-ġlieda sink jew jgħum kontra Edison Miranda. Jekk I rebaħ, kien hemm probabbilment ċans tajjeb li nixtieq nikseb xi sparatura titolu u l-bqija hija l-istorja. Hawnhekk aħna darb'oħra, huwa tiegħi 7th ħin Oracle u huwa għadu barka.

 

"Din kienet l-ħin id-dritt li jmorru heavyweight dawl. Hija kienet taħlita ta 'ma jkollhomx l-guys dritt għall-ġlieda jew guys li ma riedx li jiġġieldu lili. Irrid li jkun kbir. Dawn huma t-tipi ta 'jiċċaqlaq għandek tagħmel. I'ma student ta 'l-isport u meta I tistudja l-isport, dan huwa dak greats dejjem isir. Huma ningranaw. Dawk kbira jsibu mod biex tikseb dan isir u nixtieq li tkun f'dak konverżazzjoni.

 

"Barrera hu korp kbir. Hu fiduċjuż. Jidher li jkun zgħir tajba. Aħna ma pick lilu għaliex huwa touch soft. Aħna qabad lilu minħabba li huwa kien se tikseb lili lesti u urini dak li din il-klassi ta 'piż hija dwar. Jekk inti tħares lejn il-karriera tiegħi, hemm post għall intunazzjoni-ups li I ma kellhomx ħafna ta '. Inti tixtieq li jiġġieldu l-aħjar u jekk m'intix jiġġieldu l-aħjar, inti tixtieq li ġlieda kontra l-konkorrent numru wieħed. Dak hu li aħna qed tagħmel.

 

"I think I am tevolvi fi ġlied effiċjenti. Jien jiċċaqilqu meta I ikollha tiġi spustjata. Naħseb li l-sbuħija ta 'kull atleta li ma jabbużawx ġisem tiegħu u verament jieħu dgħajjes tiegħu bis-serjetà. Stajt tidher xi artikli li jallegaw tlift ewlenija tiegħi. Huwa crazy lili. Inħoss li jiena tajba daqs jien qatt qabel. Stajt ġiet fil-gym boxing mingħajr ħafna ta 'waqfa għall-aħħar 20 snin. moħħ tiegħi irringrazzjani għall-aħħar sentejn. korp tiegħi irringrazzjani. Jista 'jagħti me sentejn oħra fil-karriera tiegħi.

 

"Għandi li jkun biss lili. Min jien huwa biżżejjed. I m'għandhomx għalfejn juru għall Kovalev fil-folla nhar is-Sibtlejl. Aħna biss għandhom biex jimplimentaw il-pjan ta 'logħba. Naħseb li għaddej biex tibgħat il-messaġġ huwa suppost li jibagħtu u jekk ma jiġrix dan, allura hu ser [Kovalev] twassal il-messaġġ meta aħna ġlieda.

 

"Jekk jien ma jirbaħ din il-ġlieda, hemm xejn fl-triq. Jekk jien ma jirbaħ din il-ġlieda, Jien ma jixirqilhom għall-ġlieda għat-titlu. Dik hija r-realtà tas-sitwazzjoni tiegħi.

 

"Barrera qatt ma ġġieldu Guy bħali qabel, sabiex ikunu jistgħu jitkellmu logħba tajba. Huma jistgħu jiddominaw l-aħbarijiet li wassal għall-ġlieda. Huma jistgħu jgħidu l-għalf roqgħa li jkunu jridu jgħidu. Aħna biss trid jiddominaw l-aħbarijiet Il-Ħadd għodwa ta 'wara l-ġlieda huwa fuq. Dak hu li jien iffukat fuq. "

 

SULLIVAN Barrera, Numru wieħed ratata IBF konkorrent heavyweight dawl:

"Jien aktar b'saħħitha milli Ward. Għandi l-isfond Kuban u tgħallimt ħafna ta 'ħiliet hemm. Aktar minn kull ħaġa oħra, id-determinazzjoni li jingħelbu xejn quddiem lili ser jgħinuni telfa Ward fuq Marzu 26.

 

"Ladarba I am fiċ-ċirku, huwa dar tiegħi.

 

"Hu x'inhu Ward għandha, I se jaġġustaw ruħhom għaliha u jegħlbu dan.

 

"Għandi żewġ idejn. Huwa għandu żewġ idejn. I jkollhom impjieg li tagħmel fuq Marzu 26.

 

"Naf Ward u Kovalev huma ferm rispettat ħafna u dawn joħolqu ħafna flus u ħafna ta 'interess, iżda dawn ma jkunux jafu liema Sullivan Barrera hija kapaċi tagħmel. I se jipprova li nhar is-Sibt.

 

"Jien ma verament Guy li għandu jħares għal eliminatorja. ħiliet boxing tiegħi jitkellmu għalihom infushom. I am ġlieda kontra Andre Ward u ġlied hawn fil Oakland, so I do not think deċiżjoni ser jisfaw favur tiegħi.

 

"Biex l-fannijiet kollha, speċjalment l-fannijiet Kubani li appoġġjaw me jekk jogħġbok jafu li jidħlu IS-SIBT, I am ser tagħmel dak kollu li nagħmel biex toħroġ rebbieħa. "

JOSEPH DIAZ JR., NABF featherweight Champion:

"I ma jistax jistenna dak Jayson għamilt biex Ronny Rios matul din il-ġlieda. Stajt ltqajna biex tmur fil hemm, jittestja lilu out u aġġusta meta I am fil-ċirku.

 

"Jekk l-opportunità tippreżenta lilha nnifisha fejn hu iweġġgħu u nara li puntelli tiegħi huma l-kbira minnu, allura naturalment jien ser tikseb fil hemm, tkun aggressiva u kun żgur I jieħdu lilu kmieni kemm jista 'jkun.

 

"Naf jkollna fuq ġewwa, qtugħ barra l-anell u tieħdu lill-korp dritt bogħod se break lilu isfel. Li għaddej biex jagħmel lilu ma jiċċaqalqux ħafna u aktar tard fil rawnds nista 'art daqqa vizzjuż lill-kap. Jien ser tieħu lill-korp dritt bogħod.

 

"Mentalment Jiena 100% lest. Dan huwa stadju kbir fil-karriera tiegħi, hekk jien mentalment ffukati. Jien mħejjija sew. Inħoss bħal dan huwa l-mument I ilhom jistennew għall-ħajja kollu tiegħi kollu. Inħoss bħal jien lest għal dan u I ma jistgħux jistennew għall Marzu 26. I mħarrġa iebsa ħafna għal din il-ġlieda u jien ppreparati sew għaliha.

 

"I really jixtiequ jagħmlu stqarrija f'din il-ġlieda. Irrid li juru d-dinja li Joseph Diaz jista 'jkun il-ħaġa kbira li jmiss fil-boxing, so I mħarrġa diffiċli ħafna biex jitqiegħdu fuq ġlieda kbira għall-fannijiet ġlieda, jkunu aggressivi ħafna u jagħmilha gwerra fil hemmhekk. Nittama li Jayson Vélez huwa 110% lest minħabba I tixtieq li lilu tkun fl-aqwa tiegħu.

 

"Jekk jien jirbaħ din il-ġlieda u jagħmel dikjarazzjoni, I think I tista 'timxi għall-istatus konkorrent u nittamaw jiksbu dinja titolu maqtula mill-aħħar ta' din is-sena. Irrid li jiġġieldu l-avversarji iebsa din is-sena għaliex nixtieq li juru d-dinja li jiena.

 

"Inħoss bħal kruha meta I pass lejn il-ring u I jista 'jara dan fil sparring. Kulmeta Jien inżul daqqa effettivi, I tista 'tgħid li jiena jolqtu ħażin avversarju tiegħi. "

JAYSON VELEZ, konkorrent featherweight Top-rated:

"Fil-livell tiegħi, kull Guy huwa konkorrent top. Għandi biex iħarrġu aktar diffiċli u jtejbu d-difiża tiegħi. Stajt ilhom jaħdmu fuq din.

 

"Jekk inti tara aħħar tlieta jew erba tiegħi tissielet, se tara li ġew I jiddomina fl-ewwel ftit rawnds u mbagħad I jispiċċaw tal-gass, I kienu ilhom jaħdmu fuq stamina tiegħi hekk li mhux se jiġri fuq Marzu 26.

 

"Rajt tissielet Diaz. Imxejna sparred koppja ta 'drabi. Hu veloċità ltqajna. Hu ltqajna ġuħ. Huwa debutt HBO tiegħu, hekk hu definittivament motivati, imma hekk am I. Huwa ser tkun ġlieda kbira.

Fuq Marzu 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) fil 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, Texas, 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 tissielet, compiling a record of 97 rebħiet u biss 7 telf, ma 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 Tal-KO) at the Orpheum Theater in St. Louis. After four rounds, the judges saw the fight 40-36, 37-39 u 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, Texas. Eleven wins (eight by knockout) later, he took on undefeated Abel Ramos (8-0, 4 Tal-KO) fuq Jannar 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 Tal-KO) fuq April 26 at Fitzgerald’s Casino and Hotel in Tunica, Mississippi. Four consecutive knockout victories would follow before he took on fellow undefeated prospect Eduardo Galindo (10-0-1, 7 Tal-KO) dwar Ġunju 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, California u l-ġlieda mill-boxing hotbed ta Oxnard, undefeated Daniel "Twitch" Franco (12-0-3, 7 Tal-KO) meets Mexican veteran German “Panteonero” Meraz(52-37-1, 30 Kos) in an eight-round featherweight bout on Marzu 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, amassing rekord dilettanti tal 67-15, jirbħu l-kampjonat Oxnard PAL fl 2006 u l-Istat California Silver Ingwanti Kampjonat fl 2007 tul it-triq. Matul debutt professjonali Franco dwar Diċembru 18, 2010, hu megħlub Emanuel Machorro fi Club 401 fl Ontario, California via t-tielet eliminatorja tekniku round. Minkejja li rreġistrata bħala student full-time fi CHAFFEY College fl Rancho Cucamonga, Franco impressjonat kmieni fil-karriera tiegħu, kumpilazzjoni rekord undefeated b'żewġ jiġbed fil-postijiet madwar California sal-aħħar ta ' 2013. Wieħed minn dawk jiġbed daħal kontra Alejandro Ochoa fil Cannon trankwillità fil Montebello, California on September 20, 2013, but in a rematch three months later, Franco outmatched Ochoa skorja ta 'sitt round rebħa deċiżjoni unanima fuq Westin Bonaventure Hotel fil-Los Angeles. Dwar Ġunju 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 Diċembru 21when he scored a decision victory over Hector Garcia in Tijuana, Messiku.

 

A promising unbeaten prospect from Salinas, California, Rudy “The Revelation” Puja. Jr. (7-0, 6 Kos)looks to extend his undefeated streak against Carlos “Kalimba” Lozano (7-5, 4 Kos) of 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 Tal-KO) in two rounds at the Double Tree Hotel in Ontario, California. Issa, 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. F'Ġunju 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 Novembru 21, both fights taking place at the Double Tree Hotel in Ontario, California.

 

Brooklyn’s 20-year-old, undefeated Junior “The Young God” Younan (7-0, 6 Tal-KO) jirritorna l-ċirku fuq Marzu 26 after a nine-month layoff to take on Cristian Solorzano (4-7, 3 Kos) tal 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 fi Barclays Center fi Brooklyn, New York. Issa 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. Fl 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 birthday, Younan made his professional debut on November 9, 2013, at the Aviator Sports and Events Center in Brooklyn, New York, 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 fil Foxwoods Resort Casino fil Mashantucket, Connecticut. He followed that fight with a first round knockout of Marlon Farr on Awissu 13 the BB King Blues Club and Grill in New York on Awissu 13.

Chinese heavyweight Zhang “Big Bang” Zhilei (7-0, 4 Kos) joins the undercard on Marzu 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, Ċina.

 

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. Fl 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. Fuq Awissu 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. Dwar Marzu 14, 2015, Zhang beat Eric George via a four-round unanimous decision at the Armory in Jersey City, New Jersey. 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 Ġunju 6. Next came a sixth round technical knockout win over Dennis Benson at The Playground in Atlantic City on Awissu 15. To end the year, Zhang was featured on the undercard of the Novembru 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.

 

Hayward lokali, Favoriti California Aaron coley (12-1-1, 6 Tal-KO) faces a very stern test in a six-round junior middleweight bout against Segwit Ryskeldiev (11-3-2, 7 Kos) of West Hollywood, California, a Kyrgyzstan native who is undefeated in his last seven fights.

 

Fuq Marzu 26, Coley will look follow his most recent victory, a unanimous decision over Jeremy Ramos onJannar 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, New York.

Fredrickson dominated the first round and it was looking like an easy night as he scored a knockdown at the end of the frame. As Fredrickson went in for the finish, he was a little careless and got caught with a perfect counterpunch that sent him the canvas for the first time as a pro or amateur.
