Former Undisputed Welterweight Champion to Provide Unique Insight as Garcia and Thurman Join Boxing Royalty in 147-Pound Unification
SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on CBS, presented by Premier Boxing Champions, Live on CBS from 9 - 11 p.m. І / 6 - 8 p.m. PT from Barclays Center In Brooklyn
Нью-Ёрк (Лютага. 28, 2017) – Boxing Hall of Famer and former undisputed welterweight world champion Шугар Рэй Леанард will join the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on CBS broadcast team on Saturday, Сакавіка 4 for GARCIA vs. Турман. The event will be headlined by the welterweight world championship unification bout between undefeated champions Дэні Гарсія і Кіт Турман. GARCIA vs. THURMAN is presented by Premier Boxing Champions and will take place at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, home of BROOKLYN BOXING.
The live broadcast will be produced by SHOWTIME Sports® for the CBS Television Network and will air live on CBS from 9-11 p.m. І / 6-8 p.m. PT. Гарсія супраць. Thurman will be the first world title unification bout in any weight division on live network television in over two decades and just the second primetime boxing presentation on CBS in nearly 40 гады. The first was headlined by a thrilling welterweight world championship fight between Thurman and Shawn Porter, a 2016 Fight of the Year candidate and one of the most watched boxing events of the year.
With SHOWTIME boxing analyst and active prizefighter Падлогу Малиньяджи scheduled to fight in London that evening, the broadcast seat opened up for Leonard. He will join SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING host Браян Кастер, play-by-play voice Маўра Ranallo, International Boxing Hall of Fame analyst Аль Бернштэйна and Sports Emmy® Award-winning reporter Джым Грэй у суботу.
Leonard made his professional boxing debut on CBS in 1977, less than one year after he won gold at the ‘76 Olympics in Montreal as part of what is considered the greatest American boxing team in Olympic history. He served as a boxing analyst for the network in the early 1980s during a temporary retirement, calling fights alongside CBS boxing announcer Tim Ryan and Hall of Fame trainer and analyst Gil Клэнсі, before eventually resuming his professional boxing career. The Сакавіка 4event will reunite Leonard with former CBS producer and current SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING Executive Producer Дэвід Динкинс малодшы., and director Bob Dunphy, the son of legendary boxing broadcaster Don Dunphy.
A five-division titlist and one of the most decorated boxers of all-time, Leonard brings unique perspective to the broadcast booth having been in a similar situation to Thurman and Garcia more than 35 шмат гадоў таму. Гарсія, the WBC 147-pound titleholder, and Thurman, his WBA counterpart, will unify the exact same titles that Leonard (WBC) and fellow Hall of Famer Томас Хернс (WBA) unified in their classic 1981 Бой года.
узначальваючы ў Сакавіка 4 unification, Garcia and Thurman own similar records to those of Leonard and Hearns prior to their ‘81 showdown. Thurman is 27-0 and Garcia is 33-0, while Leonard was 30-1 and Hearns was 32-0. And like Leonard and Hearns, Thurman and Garcia are in their 20’s and their respective primes as they approach the career-defining fight.
“I’m thrilled to be working with the SHOWTIME team and to be part of the CBS broadcast of this great event,” said Leonard. “I’ve watched Danny Garcia and Keith Thurman develop as young men and mature both inside and outside of the ring. Now they are both champions facing their biggest test to determine the man to beat in the welterweight division. This fight reminds me of my incredible bout against Tommy Hearns. There’s nothing better in boxing than when champions meet to unify a division, and I truly believe this fight could go either way. I’m so excited and I can’t wait to be ringside у гэтую суботу at Barclay’s Center.”
“When Ray and I last spoke in January, we’d reminisced briefly about our work in boxing together and we’d promised to get together soon,” said Dinkins. “Who knew it would be to work on the biggest fight scheduled for 2017? I’m thrilled that Ray is available to join our SHOWTIME broadcast team on Сакавіка 4. His experience in fighting on the big stage for high-stakes will help put Garcia vs. Thurman into its proper context.
«Гарсія супраць. Thurman is a battle of undefeated champions,” Dinkins continued. “The winner of this fight will be the No. 1 welterweight in the world. Ray has been there. His classic battles with Wilfred Benitez, Roberto Duran and Thomas Hearns at welterweight made him a legend. It is only fitting that he will be ringside when a new star is born.”
Leonard was down on the scorecards when he knocked out Hearns in the 14й round of the 1981 барацьба. It was only the second world championship unification match in welterweight history. Garcia and Thurman will face off in the 10й unification in division history, and only the third between undefeated world champions.
After the Hearns fight, Leonard made one more defense of his welterweight belts before eventually moving up to challenge Марвін Хаглер у сярэднім. Leonard has served as a TV personality and boxing analyst since retiring from the ring in 1997, including a stint on CBS.

DANNY GARCIA HAS CANDID CONVERSATION ABOUT THE ROLE OF HIS FATHER & THRIVING AS AN UNDERDOG IN THE REVEAL WITH MARK KRIEGEL
THE REVEAL with Mark Kriegel: Дэні Гарсія: HTTP://s.sho.com/2m8unol
Danny Garcia opened up about his father Angel, his challenging childhood, and not getting the respect he deserves in an intimate conversation with award-winning reporter Mark Kriegel. The interview is the latest in a recurring SHOWTIME Sports digital series, THE REVEAL with Mark Kriegel, featuring exclusive and in-depth interviews with boxing’s emerging stars.
Гарсія, the WBC Welterweight World Champion, and Kriegel spoke in a wide-ranging conversation prior to his long-awaited unification showdown with fellow undefeated WBA Welterweight Champ Keith Thurman on Субота, Сакавіка 4 on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on CBS, presented by Premier Boxing Champions, ад Barclays Center, live on CBS from 9-11 p.m. І/6-8 p.m. PT.
Below are bites from THE REVEAL:
Garcia on his father’s incarceration while he was a child:
“I was just a kid, I was confused. I didn’t know what was going on. I didn’t understand until I got older. I think that’s what motivated me today to be the best fighter I can be.
“The things I’ve been through as a kid – waking up on your birthday not even knowing it’s your birthday, not having a birthday cake – so it’s just a lot of things we went through in life that made me who I am today.”
Garcia on his father’s approach to tough parenting and coaching following a loss in the amateurs:
“I love him for that because we have a perfect chemistry. I needed him, he needed me. I was a talented kid, but he made me believe in myself. I just loved boxing, I was just having fun…but to him, he was working, he was providing for the family. This was our way out. And once he told me that I never looked at it like that again. I took it serious and I just became the best fighter I could be.”
Garcia when asked by Kriegel who is the most dangerous fighter in the division:
“Danny Garcia. You know why? Danny Garcia has always been the underdog and overlooked his whole career. And I’ve never been given the credit I deserve ever since I was a little kid. Але вы ведаеце, што? It’s OK. I want people to overlook me so that when my hand is raised at the end of the night, what can they say?"

FONFARA IN FULL SWING WITH VADA TESTING
BAY AREA, ТАКОЙ ЯК (Лютага 16, 2017) – In preparation for his upcoming fight with former world champion, Чэд Доусон (34-4, 19 КО), Анджэй Fonfara (28-4, 16 КО) is in full swing with his mandated VADA testing. The 10-round bout is set for March 4й, at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn NY, на Кіт Турман супраць. Дэні Гарсія, undercard.
Fonfara, who recently hired Вирджил Хантэр, 2012 BWAA Boxing Trainer of the year, gives his thoughts on the importance of drug testing in boxing.
“Today I had my mandatory VADA testing and I feel good about it.” said Andrzej Fonfara, the current WBC #9 рэйтынгам суперніка. “I think it’s very important that all fighters be tested for PED’s.” “We all put our lives on the line when we step in the ring and everyone knows boxing is a very dangerous sport. People die in the ring and for someone to have an advantage by taking drugs, should not be tolerated. I believe cleaning up the sport of boxing is a good thing, one that all fighters should applaud.”

Undefeated World Champion Battles Keith Thurman in Main Event of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on CBS Presented by Premier Boxing Champions Saturday, Сакавіка 4 у Barclays Center ў Брукліне
|
Дэні Гарсія & KEITH THURMAN JOIN RECORD BOOKS & ELITE GROUP OF LEGENDS IN MARCH 4 WELTERWEIGHT UNIFICATION
Just The Third Unification Between Undefeated Welterweights In Boxing History
SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on CBS, presented by Premier Boxing Champions, Live on CBS From Barclays Center In Brooklyn
Нью-Ёрк (Лютага. 15, 2017) – Sugar Ray Leonard vs. Томі Хернс. Felix Trinidad vs. Оскар Дэ Ла Хойя. Флойд Мэйвезер. Мэнни Пакьяо.
That is the elite company welterweight champions Danny Garcia and Keith Thurman will join when they meet in just the 10йunification in division history on Субота, Сакавіка 4 on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on CBS, presented by Premier Boxing Champions, ад Barclays Center, дом Брукліна БОКС ™, live on CBS from 9-11 p.m. І/6-8 p.m. PT.
Гарсія, the WBC titleholder, and Thurman, the WBA champion, will unify the exact same titles that Leonard (WBC) and Hearns (WBA) unified in their 1981 Бой года.
And while Hearns was undefeated and Leonard entered with one loss, Гарсія (33-0, 19 КО) and Thurman (27-0, 22 КО) will meet in just the third unification between непераможаным welterweights in boxing history, the першы since Trinidad vs. De La Hoya in 1999, a bout billed as “The Fight of the Millennium.”
Гарсія супраць. Thurman will be broadcast in Primetime on CBS, the first unification on network television in any division in over two decades (Нататка: Terry Norris vs. Paul Vaden at 154-pounds on Dec. 16, 1995 на FOX). It’s also just the second primetime boxing presentation on the CBS Television Network in nearly 40 гады.
While Danny Garcia and Keith Thurman are joining a who’s who of legendary 147-pounders, their showdown also presents current implications in boxing’s glamour division. With the retirement of pound-for-pound kingpin Floyd Mayweather, Garcia and Thurman, both just 28 гадоў, meet with a chance to become the new face of the stacked 147-pound division, and perhaps earn a spot on the mythical pound-for-pound list.
Больш чым 80 percent of the total punches landed by Garcia are power shots, putting his high-octane power punch output nearly 10 percent higher than the welterweight average.
Keith Thurman ranks No. 4 amongst all current boxers in percentage of power punches landed, connecting at 48.2 percent according to Compubox. That’s more than 10 percent better than the welterweight average.
Both fighters are young, hungry and undefeated. Their bout on Сакавіка 4 is the quintessential career-defining fight. It is a chance for both to add to their growing legacy and potentially, ultimately, be forever linked with every boxing great in the coveted International Boxing Hall of Fame.
