NEW YORK CITY (Marts 19, 2024) – Brooklyn sværvægter Pryce Taylor (3-0, 2 KOS) har succesfuldt skiftet fra basketball til boksning, og i dag er den 27-årige udsigter på fremmarch som en ubesejret præmiekæmper.

Taylor sagde, at han bragte sine ben fra banen ind i ringen. Han dunkede først en bold, da han gik i ottende klasse, fire tommer kortere end 6' 4" Taylor er i dag. Pryce indrømmer, at han savnede basketball, men bemærker hurtigt, at han stadig kunne spille, ikke nødvendigvis på et hold, fordi han ikke er i basketballform længere. »Jeg er i bokseform,” bemærkede han stolt.

Et dekoreret U.S. amatør bokser, fremhævet af hans to New York Golden Gloves Championship-titler, Taylor var også fire gange andenpladsen i USA's nationale mesterskaber, herunder en til Joshua Edwards, der har kvalificeret sig til at repræsentere som supersværvægter for Team USA i 2024 OL i Paris.

Sidste år, Taylor havde syv sejre i kampen for New York i Team Combat League (TCL), som er en en-runde, holdformatkonkurrence. Teknisk set, sejrene er ikke en del af hans professionelle bokserekord. Taylor har nydt godt af den erfaring og vil også konkurrere i denne sæson.

Taylor spillede basketball i en sæson på Corning Community College i upstate New York. "Jeg stoppede med at spille basketball for seks år siden," sagde Taylor. "Jeg har haft 60 slagsmål (amatører, fordele og TCL) og tro, at de bedste boksere kommer dertil med sparringserfaring. Så, Jeg har fået en masse erfaring. Jeg har et godt færdighedssæt og ved, hvad jeg skal gøre i ringen.

"Min tankegang er at gøre, hvad andre boksere ikke gør. Alle boksere lærer det grundlæggende, men alt, hvad de vil smide, Jeg kaster mig allerede, og jeg ved, hvordan man imødegår der er. Alt, hvad de kaster, er jeg i stand til at forsvare."

Taylor er blevet sat på den hurtige vej af sin manager, New York City-baserede advokat Keith Sullivan, som har opdaget, at det ikke er nemt at finde passende modstandere til Taylor, hvem på grund af sin størrelse, amatør stamtavle og deltagelse i TCL, er meget mere avanceret end hans tre pro-kampe kan indikere.

En anden uvurderlig del af Taylors udvikling er sparring af etablerede sværvægtere som Jarrell "Big Baby" Miller, Otto Wallin, Vladyslav Sirenko, og Brandon Glanton for at nævne nogle få af de mere bemærkelsesværdige.

Taylor fik sin pro-debut i december sidste år, stoppede Mike Diorio i åbningsrunden, fulgte januar 27 med nøjagtig samme resultat i forhold til Gabriel Aguilar Costa. I sin seneste aktion i marts, Taylor gik distancen for første gang som professionel, pitche en fire-runder shutout for en enstemmig beslutning mod Antonio Torres (4-1), 40-36 tre gange.

I sin sidste kamp, afholdt i Sony Hall, Taylor kom ud til ringen og paradede rundt i ringen bagefter med et irsk flag draperet rundt om hans massive skuldre (se ovenstående billede).

"Keith (Sullivan) vidste, at der ville være mange irske fans der for at se en irsk fighter (Emmet Brennan) kæmper efter mig," forklarede Taylor. "Han mente, at det var en god måde at engagere den store irske skare på, så han draperede mig i det irske trefarvede flag. Han havde ret, de fremmødte irere var helt vilde med det, og jeg fik nogle flere fans."

Basketballtab er boksningens gevinst; Pryce Taylor er en legitim udsigt med en enorm opside.

Ud over at administrere Pryce Taylor, Keith Sullivan, en tidligere vicekommissær i New York State Athletic Commission, og mangeårig bokseadvokat, leder også IBF Bantamvægt verdensmester Miyo Yoshida (17-4, 0 KOS) og Bronx mellemvægtsudsigten Nisa Rodriguez (1-0), ud over at være med til at lede World Boxing Association (WBA) Do Not. 12-bedømt weltervægt-udfordrer Paddy "The Real Deal" Donovan (13-0, 10 KOS), den regerende WBA Continental Champion fra Limerick, Irland. Sullivan styrer Donovan sammen med den tidligere verdensmester i mellemvægt Andy Lee.

“Crossroads: doubleheader results from N.H.: Kendrick Ball, Jr. hits home run vs. Bryan Vera

Efterlad en kommentar

“Crossroads” results from New Hampshire

DERRY, N.H. (April 18, 2021) -Former New England middleweight championKendrick “Peppa” Ball, Jr. turned in a career-best performance in last night’s main event against dangerousBryan “The Warrior” Vera on the evening portion of the “Crossroads” day-night doubleheader, presented by Granite Chin Promotions, at New England Sports Center in Derry, New Hampshire.

The pre-fight plan was followed as Ball (16-1-2, 11 KOS) boxed and moved, while Vera (28-17, 18 KOS) applied pressure, right from the opening bell. Ball took control in the second round, when he stayed in the pocket, snapping off crisp combinations. Ball fired more effective combinations in the third round as Vera started chasing his opponent. Ball started moving around the ring and fighting from the outside in the fourth and stayed on his toes the remainder of the fight.

Ball won an 8-round unanimous decision (79-73, 79-73, 78-74) to become the World Boxing Council (WBC) USNBC (USA) Silver Super Middleweight Champion.

“This was my best fight, because of who I fought, and the magnitude of the fight,” Ball commented. “The plan was to box and move because he was much smaller and slower. At times I banged, when I knew he wasn’t hurting me, but I shouldn’t have taken the risks.”

The 39-year-old Vera isn’t the same fighter he was when he beat three different world champions –Andy Lee, Sergio Mora (to gange) ogSerhiy Dzinziruk.  The Texan needs to decide if it’s time to finally hang up his gloves.

“This was awesome, definitely our best show to date,” Granite Chin’sChris Traietti declared after the show. “We feel great about stepping up to give these fighters, especially the locals, a platform to perform on in front of fans. I think a lot of promoters have gotten lazy. They gave us a lane and Granite Chin took advantage. This was our fourth show with fans during the last year. Brian fought hard and he’s a great guy, but he’s not the same guy he was in 2011. He needs to think about what he’s going to do.

“Granite Chin returns here June 26th with another doubleheader. The afternoon show will be the Granite Chin Invitational for open elite boxers. With the New England Golden Gloves canceled again there is a void to fill. If promoters are going to help amateurs, I certainly will, starting June 26th."

ChallengerMarquis Bates (8-4, 6 KOS) dethroned defending New Hampshire Welterweight ChampionRyan Dibartolomeo (3-2-1, 1 KO) via a sixth-round stoppage in an entertaining co-feature. A devastating overhand right from Bates gave him his new crown as the referee didn’t even count as the ring doctor quickly entered the ring.

Larry “Hitman” Pryor took the contract out onScott Lambert and he wasted little time taking care of business to become the New Hampshire Cruiserweight Champion. Pryor took advantage of his decisive height and reach advantages, closing the show with a perfectly thrown left hook that sent Lambert to the canvas. Lambert managed to beat the count, but the referee stopped the fight midway through the opening round when he saw Lambert wobbling back and forth on rubbery legs.

Lanky lefthandedFrancis “The Tank” Hogan (5-0, 5 KOS) graduated last night with a brilliant performance againstLarry “Slo Mo” Smith, who was in his 60th career fight. Hogan put down Smith early in the third round and caught the Texan late in the same round with a lefty-combination to the temple. Smith beat the count, but he was unable to answer the bell for the fourth round, and 20-year-old Hogan became the new New Hampshire Junior Middleweight Champion.

Former New England heavyweight championJustin “Crazy Train” Rolfe (5-2-1, 4 KOS) positioned himself for another N.E. title shot with a spectacular knockout ofAlfredo “Choncho” Trevino (9-9-1, 1 KO). The 263-pound Rolfe, fighting out of Fairfield, Maine, charged across the ring at the bell and put his Arizona opponent to sleep right in his corner, when he was counted out at the 20-seconds mark.

The newest member of the fightin’ Whitley family from western Massachusetts, ubesejret weltervægtDenzel Whitley, cruised to his fourth victory with his fourth knockout. He drilledAquilandro Brandao late in round one and the fight was stopped by the referee.

UndefeatedJahye Brown (9-0, 7 KOS) captured the vacant ABF Athletic junior middleweight title with a hard fought 8-round unanimous decision over a game Mexican opponent,Dormedes Potes (12-4-1, 9 KOS).  The two fought toe-to-toe from the opening bell and Brown landed the more effective punches inside to earn the victory.

Promising middleweight prospectJulien “Black Dragon” Baptiste forbedret til 2-0 with his second knockout, blasting outBruno Dias in the third round.

Fighting for the first time in more than eight years, Fall River, MA welterweightDustin Reinhold (6-4, 2 KOS) won a 4-round unanimous decision over pro-debutingAnthonyAndreozziin what can best be called a rough and tumble match. 

Junior mellemvægtCarlos Castillo’s professional debut was a gem as the Holyoke, MA fighter droppedTheo Desjardon to gange, the last closing the show late in the first round.

“Cannon” Berry stops Ibarra in 5

UBO All-America Welterweight ChampionBrandon “The Cannon” Berry (21-5-2, 13 KOS) successfully defended in the afternoon card’s main event, overcoming a slow start in which he was buzzed to stop challengerGael Ibarra (5-3, 4 KOS) in the fifth round.

Berry finished the fight in the fifth, when he unloaded twin barrages of unanswered punches on a trapped Ibarra until the referee waved off the fight.

“I’m glad it wasn’t a 4-round fight,” Berry said after the fight. “He was a strong guy. I was feeling it. He tested me. I want to thank my family and friends here, and Granite Chin and everybody involved in the promotion.”

I co-featured begivenhed, New England heavyweight championMike “Fly” Marshall (4-1, 3 KOS), i en kamp uden titel, slået udTracey Johnson (4-10-6) in the third round.

Popular Boston IrishmanJimmy Torney (3-0, 3 KOS) – 6’ 6”, 269 lbs. – needed only 42-seconds and one big right to stop pro-debuting heavyweightMarco Nascimento. 

Massachusetts welterweightEric “Gladiator” Goff convincingly won his pro debut againstJader Alves(0-5) as he pitched a 4-round shutout

Three-time New England Golden Gloves championDemek “Hightower” Edmonds had an awesome pro debut, dropping cruiserweightFrancisco Neto twice in round one, the second a vicious body shot ending the fight. Edmonds, a southpaw from Worcester, MA, is a college graduate and bonafide prospect to watch.

In a non-title fight, New England welterweight championMike "Bad Man" Ohan, Jr. (12-1, 6 KOS) schooled his 54-fight Las Vegas opponent, junior mellemvægtRynell Griffin. Ohan decked Griffin three times in the first round, the third with a left hook to the body from which Griffin was unable to beat the count.

Canadian cruiserweightYan “Wild Thing” Pellerin (11-1, 5 KOS) landed two stinging rights to the body of 63-fight veteranSteve “The Spoiler” Walker, both flooring the Missouri fighter, the second resulting in an opening-round knockout for the vacant ABF Atlantic title.

Connecticut welterweightOmar “The Beast” Borday, Jr. (1101, 3 KOS) dominated 65-fight journeymanDewayne Wisdom en route to a one-sided 8-round unanimous decision.

Kan Saunders sikre sig sin mest imponerende gevinst til dato over Lemieux?

Efterlad en kommentar

Billy Joe Saunders tager til ringen i december 16 i Canada som den regerende og forsvarende WBO-mellemvægtmester, at være den stolte ejer af et bælte, som han vandt helt tilbage i december 2015 når besejre medrejsende Andy Lee.

 

Men siden han udpegede irske Lee med en flertalsbeslutnings succes at blive verdensmester på Manchester Arena, Saunders har kun forsvaret det ved to lejligheder, med enstemmig beslutning triumferer over Artur Akavov og Willie Monroe Jr., for nylig.

 

Mod spillet russisk Akavov, den ubesejrede verdens titelholder var langt fra imponerende og måske endda heldig at få en så behagelig beslutning i sidste ende på Lagoon Leisure Centre på skotsk jord. Sejren over den amerikanske udfordrer Monroe Jr var meget bedre, efter at have påtaget sig Dominic Ingle som sin nyeste træner.

 

Men sidstnævnte kamp var stadig en trist affære og gjorde intet for at fremme eller øge Saunders’ appellerer til et bredere publikum, da han overarbejdede den New York-fødte Southpaw ganske behageligt. For det meste af titelforsvaret, han blev slet ikke brugt til at arbejde, med Monroe, der er kommet ind med et bizart ineffektivt gameplan.

 

Men, den 28-årige næste vil uden tvivl møde hans hårdeste karriere test til dato mod tidligere £ 160-mester David Lemieux, en langt mere seriøs udfordring end en uerfaren og ungdommelig Chris Eubank Jr., en ligeglad Andy Lee og langt fra at true Willy Monroe Junior.

 

Hårdtslående canadiske Lemieux kommer ind i ringtovene som den jævnlige outsider i de seneste boksodds at sejre på hjemlandet, en lovende pris for en kæmper med en kraftig bølge af sejre for sent. Siden blev ondskabsfuldt stoppet i et galant show mod divisionens kongehoved Gennady Golovkin i oktober 2015, 28-åringen har vundet fire sejre i træk, inklusive to store knockouts af Glen Tapia og Curtis Stevens.


Af alle modstandere har Saunders gået tå til tå med til dato, ingen har haft Lemieuxs stansekraft, og det kunne være en afgørende faktor for kampnat. Sidstnævnte hjemhåb fremmes af Oscar De La Hoyas Golden Boy, der tilsyneladende er ivrige efter at matche den canadiske med den største pengeko Saul 'Canelo’ Alvarez næste år, snarere end at smide ham med 'GGG’ endnu en gang i en meget ventet omkamp.

 

På trods af at være favoritten til at sejre og opretholde sin ubesejrede rekord om, hvad der bliver hans jomfruforetagende uden for Storbritannien i sin professionelle karriere, det ser ud til, at oddsene faktisk er stablet mod Saunders for dette seneste møde.

 

Det har været tydeligt, for, at Saunders ikke kan prale af den massive magt, der er i stand til at holde en flådfodet Lemieux væk fra fareområderne i hele deres match-up. Knockout-kunstneren Lemieux producerede det, der til sidst kunne vælges til årets stop tilbage i marts, da han brutalt satte Stevens’ lyser ud i New York City.

 

Kan en anden ondskabsfuld succes være på kortene i hjemmet? Det er op til Saunders og Ingle at udføre deres kommende gameplan perfekt for at sikre, hvad der ville være en meget imponerende sejr på vejen, men det ser sandsynligt ud til at blive en virkelig testnat i Quebec.

BILLY JOE SAUNDERS DETHRONES ANDY LEE SATURDAY TO BECOME 12th CURRENT BRITISH WORLD CHAMPION ON SHO EXTREME® FROM MANCHESTER,ENGLAND

Efterlad en kommentar

NEW YORK (December. 19, 2015) – Billy Joe Saunders dethroned WBO Middleweight World Champion Andy Lee with a 12-round majority decision Saturday on SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL fra Manchester, England.

 

Kampen, der blev scoret 115-111, 114-112 og 113-113, will re-air tonight at 9 p.m. OG/PT på SHO EXTREME.

 

In a matchup of tactical southpaws, an explosive third round from Saunders (23-0, 12 KOS) was the difference. The British challenger floored Lee twice – first with a big right hook and again with a counter right just 30 seconds later – and a dazed Lee somehow survived the 10-7 omgang. VIDEO HØJDEPUNKTER: http://s.sho.com/1OfibYe

 

The Irish Lee (34-3-1, 24 KOS) fought his way back and was the more aggressive fighter in the championship rounds, but it wasn’t enough to make up for a slow start and the two knockdowns.

 

Med sejren, Saunders became the 12th current British world champion.

 

“I’m world champion,sagde Saunders. “I beat a good champion today, a good sturdy champion. I used his power against him. When I was boxing he got a little bit careless and dropped his lead hand and I caught him with the hook.

 

“I’m not going to start running my mouth, but it was a good shot. With someone as fast as me you have to keep your hands up. I’m not the biggest puncher in the world, but I showed you there that I can punch.”

 

WBA mellemvægt verdensmester Daniel Jacobs, fresh off a first round knockout of Peter Quillin two weeks ago on SHOWTIME, was a guest analyst på lørdag from New York.

 

“I thought he was going to be a big brawler, I thought he had better assets,” Jacobs said of Lee. “He didn’t do enough for me. He was too complacent and after the knockdown you didn’t see that sense of urgency that a fighter has to have on the comeback trail.

 

“All credit due to Billy Joe, but it wasn’t an impressive victory.”

 

After watching the fight, Jacobs wasn’t ready to commit to a unification showdown in 2016 with the winner.

 

“We’ll do whatever makes sense,” Jacobs said. “I think it’s time to sit-down and figure what makes sense. Obviously it’s a good time to be a middleweight champion.”

SHO VIDEO: http://s.sho.com/1ROfSkF

NEW YORK (December. 15, 2015) – WBO Middleweight World Champion Andy Lee og ubesejret udfordrer Billy Joe Saunders held separate media workouts in Manchester, England, as they conclude preparations for their eagerly awaited showdown this Lørdag, December. 19, live on SHO EXTREME (5 p.m. OG/PT)from Manchester Arena.

 

Irlands Lee (34-2-1, 24 KOS) will make the first defense of his 160-pound title against England’s Saunders (22-0, 12 KOS), the WBO’s No. 1 mellemvægt contender.

 

Den SHOWTIME BOKSNING INTERNATIONAL udbud afBoxNation Telecast vil indeholde analyser fra SHOWTIME-bokseeksperter Brian Custer, Al Bernstein og Paulie Malignaggifør og efter verdensmesterskabets opgør. En ekstra præsentation af kampen sendes på SHO EXTREME senere samme aften kl 9 p.m. OG/PT.

 

Here’s what Lee and Saunders had to say at their media workouts on Tuesday and Mandag, henholdsvis:

 

Andy Lee:

“I have a punch that can end a fight, lights out, in any given second.

 

“I won’t rely on the punch. I will look to dominate from the start with educated pressure.

 

“I’m feeling very dangerous at the moment.

 

“Saunders’ unbeaten record is a disadvantage. He’s always been in fights he’s expected to win and has been well managed by(Frank) Warren.

 

“I’ve never lost a fight on points and I never will on points. If I’m down on the cards I will go out swinging in the last round.

 

“Saunders being a fellow traveler does add another layer, but at the end the day it’s about how good you are and he’s not good enough to beat me.”

 

BILLY JOE SAUNDERS:

“I’m ready to go for Lørdag nat. This is the best camp that I’ve ever had. I’m prepared for the toughest test of my career, but I know that I’m in excellent shape to win this fight and become world champion.

 

“Andy Lee is a tough fighter – he’s proved that by becoming world champion and having the type of career he has had. But I’m undefeated and hungry and know that I’m on the brink of fulfilling a childhood dream. I’m not going to leave that ring without the title.

 

“Training in Spain allows me to lock myself away from all distractions and focus solely on the fight. It’s hard being away from home, but it’s all part of boxing. It’s been a long camp, a tough camp, but after that I know that I’m ready to go through hell to make sure that I’m successful come fight night.

 

“The middleweight division is one of the hottest around and I’m prepared to fight any of the other champions in there once I win the title.

 

"Danny Jacobs had a great win against Peter Quillin, and then there is Canelo (Alvarez) og (Gennady) Golovkin. I know the importance of this fight for the division and I want my name to be among the very best. I’m taking it one step at a time, but I’m open to fight anyone.

 

“There has been no trash talk with Andy because we know what each person is about. We share a similar background and neither of us is going to take a back step.

 

“This is going to be a very exciting all-action fight because we’re going to leave it all in the ring. I know I have the skills to beat him and I intend to show the world why I’m among the best around.”

 

Saunders on fellow Brit Chris Eubank Jr.:

“The truth of the matter is that Eubank Jr. does not belong at the world level – he’s a phony. Det er så simpelt er det. I wasn’t impressed with his win over Gary O’Sullivan, who I’ve already beat. He thinks he can fool the public with a win like that, but he can’t.

 

“His aim now is to move up and fight the best guys in the world, but we saw what happened the last time he stepped up a notch and faced me: he was badly exposed. The same thing will happen with him if he fights someone like Danny Jacobs for the WBA title.

 

“You’re not the best middleweight in your own country and you want to fight a world champion and say you’re going to beat him? I think it’s a delusion and he thinks he’s greater than he actually is.

 

“Sooner rather than later he’s going to get exposed again as the fraud that he is. You can keep talking, but eventually you have to back it up in the ring against top-level fighters. He’s won his last fight and now he’s back talking (udråb) again like he’s the best fighter in history.

 

“If he has the balls to fight again, which I doubt, I would happily hand him another beating, this time in even more convincing fashion.”

Det er et stort løft for mig og tager kampen til et andet niveau, når amerikansk tv kommer på banen, og så ved du, at det er en stor kamp på verdensscenen. jeg håber at (Gennady) Golovkin og (Miguel) Cotto bliver både ser, fordi jeg hurtigt nærmer deres niveau, og de vil komme til at se, hvad jeg alt om.

Mit forhold til netværket går mange år tilbage med kampe som Joe Calzaghe vs. Jeff Lacy, Ricky Hatton vs. Kostya Tszyu, Frank Bruno vs. Oliver McCall, plus Naseem Hamed og Nigel Benn slås. Jeg tror, ​​at Lee vs. Saunders vil være endnu en fantastisk kamp at tilføje til den liste på grund af, hvad der er på spil for begge kæmpere. Det, der venter forude for vinderen, vil få dem til at kæmpe til deres allerbedste.”

BROOKLYN (April 12, 2015) – Premier Boxing Champions på NBC returned with two exciting bouts Lørdag night as Danny “Swift” Garcia (30-0, 17 KOS) besejret Lamont Peterson (33-3-1, 17 KOS) by majority decision and “Irish” Andy Lee (34-2-1, 24 KOS) og Peter “Kid Chocolate” Quillin (31-0-1, 22 KOS) fought to a split draw at Barclays Center.

 

The evening’s second main event saw the undefeated Garcia stalk the lightning quick Peterson around the ring while consistently attacking Peterson’s body. Peterson moved well in the first half of the fight, but did not begin engaging offensively until the later rounds.

 

The two exchanged blows throughout a raucous twelfth round that stirred the crowd of 12,300 at Barclays Center into a frenzy. The judges tallies ended at 115-113 for Garcia twice and one score of 114-114.

 

“Jeg føler stor. I prepared for a war. He was moving a lot. I thought it was close, not going to lie,” Said Garcia. “It was definitely close the whole way through. I did enough to win and I’m happy with my performance.

 

[On going up in weight] “I feel like I have to go up. It’s affecting my performance, but I feel like I did a great job.”

 

“I did my part. I’m not calling it a robbery but it was a good fight,” Said Peterson. “I don’t expect an easy journey for me to get where I’m going. Jeg føler stor. That’s probably the least contact I’ve ever had in a fight.”

 

In the first main event, Quillin scored a huge knockdown in the first round and followed it up by putting Lee on the canvas in round three. Lee made adjustments as the fight went on and began to box Quillin effectively, even putting him down in the seventh round.

 

Lee and Quillin landed almost the same percentage of punches with Lee connecting on 38 percent and Quillin on 39 procent. One judge scored the bout 113-112 for Lee with another scoring the bout 113-112 for Quillin and the final had a score of 113-113.

 

“There’s a reason why judges are judges. They see it their way. I respect the decision,” Said Quillin.

 

[On being knocked down] “There’s a first time for everything. I’m very thankful that I was able to get back up and keep fighting. I took a year off and I was able to go 12-rounds and I could have kept going.”

 

“Det var en hård kamp. He dropped me early because I was being lazy. I got my momentum late in the fight and I boxed consistently. I understand why with two knockdowns people felt he won the decision. I could have done better i aften. If my next fight is Peter Quillin.”

Here are what the fighters had to say at Thursday’s press conference:

 

DANNY GARCIA

 

“I’ve been working on fighting hard, but also smart. I’m going to go in there and dictate the pace and I’m always looking for the knockout. If I can’t knock him out then I’ll be ready to go 12 runder.

 

“It’s always hard making weight, but I’m on weight now. Right now I’m growing into my prime and my body is getting bigger and it’ll be time soon for me to go up in weight.

 

“I’m looking at this as a very big fight. So I’m going in there mentally and physically ready. He’s coming to fight and I’m coming to fight. Lørdag is going to be about who can make the right adjustments.

 

“Jeg elsker Brooklyn. This is my fourth fight here and I’ve heard that the tickets for this fight are selling faster than any other fight they’ve held here. So I must be doing something right in Brooklyn. The atmosphere is great at Barclays Center.

 

“I’ve always felt that I’m one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world. I’ve won a lot of big fights with a lot of great fighters, and my goal is just continue winning one fight at a time.”

 

LAMONT PETERSON

“Danny’s talk makes no difference to me. I think I’m even more confident than him and I’ll get the victory Lørdag night and that will be that.

 

“The stakes are high. This can definitely push me to the next level in this boxing game. I’ve been at the top for a while but there’s a difference between being at the top and being an elite fighter. I think this will solidify me as an elite fighter.

 

“I looked at a few of Danny’s fights but nothing really stood out to me. I know Danny is a counterpuncher, that’s what he does. We’ve come up with a game plan to stop that.

 

“I’m a different person than the other guys Danny has fought. I’m a different person with a different style. I trust myself to make adjustments in the ring.

 

“This fight will be different than either of our fights with Matthysse. It’s two different fights and styles make fights. There will be different results. I had to prepare for Danny Garcia and Danny Garcia had to prepare for me.

 

“There’s no pressure fighting on this big card, but I know what it brings. This brings more exposure and I want to use that exposure in the right way. I know I’m looked up to as a role model and I just want to use this exposure.

 

“This will put a big spotlight on boxing and I’m happy to be a part of it.

 

“Jeg er klar til at kæmpe, I’ve prepared well and I’m ready to put on a show.”

 

Andy Lee

 

“I’m eager to fight and ready to go. I’m feeling very dangerous right now.

 

“My ring generalship is one thing, but overall I feel like I have a good idea of what I want to do in the ring. Peter has an idea too, but it’s more moment to moment for him, which can be good as well, when you improvise. I’m more of a guy who will set you up and work to a plan.

 

“Coming back and winning a fight really strengthens your resolve. You know in your mind that at any time, you have a chance of winning. I never plan to be behind but it happens. This time I plan to lead from the front.

 

“Peter is offensive, which leaves openings. He might be cautious for a while because both of us know that we might pay the price of being offensive. Eventually we’ll exchange and it will be explosive one way of the other.

 

“I’m a southpaw puncher who can box and I’ve never been in a dull fight. I have a ‘never say die’ attitude and I’m not someone who is just going to go out there and play it safe. I’ll risk it all to win.

 

“My confidence is very high. I’m the champion of the world and there’s no higher station than that in boxing. I’m the champion and he’ll have to come and take my title.”

 

PETER QUILLIN

 

“Everyone tune in on April 11 because we’re going to do more than just try to take that belt, we’re going to take that belt because that’s what we do.

 

“Andy is the champion of the world but this is the second time I’ve been the challenger to a world champion. I’ve been here before. I know he’s a newly crowned champion so I have nothing bad to say about him.

 

“Andy’s greatest strength is that he lost twice and was able to come back and make himself look very good.

 

“This is a totally different caliber fight than either of us has had. I’m not any of those fighters that he’s faced. I can’t go in there and try to fight like a Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

 

“I’m only concerned about working hard, which I’ve done every day leading up to this fight. So I have no concerns at all.

 

“I’m motivated period. My heart is built on motivation in all things. Talking to media, being on NBC, fighting for the belt and being a positive person. I’m thankful that every day I can put out a positive story about myself.”

LOU Dibella, Formand for DiBella Entertainment

 

“We have a great night of boxing from beginning to end, you will be hearing a lot more from these young fighters.

 

“If you want to see everything, get there to Barclays Center at 5 p.m.

 

“We’re very thrilled that this is going to be televised in primetime on NBC. PBC på NBC. It has a nice ring to it.

 

“The first main event of the evening features Andy Lee, middleweight champion and the fighting pride of Limerick. He is a warrior, he’s at the most confident point of his career and he’s going to need to be because he’s fighting an undefeated champion.

 

“Peter Quillin makes Brooklyn his home. It’s his third fight at Barclays Center and he has a perfect record of 31-0. He’s going to try to take Andy’s belt, men det bliver ikke let.

 

“The bout that will close the show is one of the most eagerly anticipated bouts in all of boxing. Lamont Peterson is noted for being one of the most technically sound boxers in the game and he has an outstanding record to a back it up.

 

“Danny Garcia really embodies what it means to be a Philadelphia fighter. He’s a tough guy with an undefeated record. He’s going to look to keep that record perfect against Lamont Peterson.”

 

JON MILLER, Præsident, Programmering, NBC Sports & NBCSN

 

“On behalf of NBC Sports we’re thrilled to be a part of this and to be in our own backyard. We couldn’t pick a better venue than Barclays Center. The card put together is spectacular. There are great fights once again and we’re excited about the progress that this new property has taken for us.

 

“I think one of the most unique things about denne lørdag night is that it’s going to make history in television because three of the most venerable and outstanding sports television personalities will be working together for the first time as Al Michaels will be our host, Marv Albert will be doing play-by-play and for the first time ever they will be joined by Bob Costas.

 

“These three iconic figures have worked Olympics and Super Bowls but it’s the first time they’ve ever worked together on one event and that is a tribute to what the entire has put together in delivering this great card.”

 

BRETT YORMARK, CEO for Barclays center

 

“Denne lørdag marks a historic moment for Barclays Center as we host our 11thprofessional boxing event and our first Premier Boxing Champions event.

 

“When you combine the talent in the ring, the production of the show and the iconic broadcasting team of Al Michael, Bob Costas and Marv Albert plus boxing legend Sugar Ray Leonard this will be one of the best fight nights that New York has hosted in decades.

 

“Signifying the magnitude of the event, tickets have sold faster than at any other boxing show Barclays Center has hosted.

 

“At Barclays Center, we have not only served as a launch pad for many local boxers’ careers, but have relished in the role of becoming the home for Champions.”

Here are what the fighters had to say at Tirsdagens Træn:

 

DANNY GARCIA

 

“I just want to give the fans a great fight. I want them to see the best Danny Garcia. Ved slutningen af ​​dagen, this is the fight the fans want to see. My main focus is putting on a great show for the fans.

 

“I’ve faced a lot of skillful boxers in my career and I’m still undefeated. That should tell the fans around the world who has more skill. Såsom April 11 when he’s feeling these two bombs on his face he’s going to forget about his skill.

 

“I just want to give fans a great fight. I’m not too worried about the ‘0’ on my record. I fight hard to protect it but my main focus is to go in there and get the job done one fight at a time.

 

“Everything I’ve done in my career is for a reason. Now I’m here on NBC fighting on this big playing field. This is great for boxing and a breath of fresh air for the sport.

 

“I just want to be confident and humble at the same time. I want the fans to love me because I’m being myself. It’s very important for a young champion.

 

“I’m going to try to dictate the pace, be smart, move my head, use my feet and land good punches. I can’t try to chase him down.

 

“I used to love other great Puerto Rican boxers like Felix Trinidad, Miguel Cotto and Hector Camacho. I feel like I’m definitely working my way up into the ranks with them and following their footsteps.

 

“I have to be smart in the ring. I have to go in there and be Danny Garcia. I’m here because I’m a smart fighter. Everyone knows that. Jeg har magt. I’m going to find my opening and capitalize on his mistakes.”

 

 

LAMONT PETERSON

 

“This is just another fight for me. I’m not worried about being the main event. Jeg elsker bare at kæmpe. As long as I’m fighting I’m happy.

 

“A lot of people see us fight and see us take punches, but that’s just the easy part. The sacrifice in the gym and putting my body through punishment is the rough part.

 

“I’m not trying to prove anyone wrong, but this fight is important to me and I want to win it. I want to be the top guy and that means beating the top guy.

 

“People talk about him beating Matthysse and Matthysse beating me, but anyone who knows about boxing knows that doesn’t mean anything. Såsom Lørdag night I will prove to everyone that I’m a better fighter than Danny Garcia.

 

“Angel Garcia has his opinion on this fight, and I respect it. He can go on record and say anything he wants, but if he says Danny Garcia is stronger than me, I’ll tell you that’s a lie.

 

“We’re not worried about Danny’s power. A lot of people have asked me about that but I’m not worried. Danny Garcia had a split decision with Kendall Holt, who I knocked out. No one seems to mention that.

 

“I’m comfortable with whatever way this fight goes. I’m almost guaranteeing the win.

 

“I don’t think they’re taking me lightly. Ved slutningen af ​​dagen, Garcia knows this is a fight and he knows he hasn’t fought anyone like me. I’m expecting a big victory Lørdag nat.

 

“You never know what you’re going to see with me. Whatever I feel like I need to do to win, that’s what I’ll do. Jeg er forberedt 100 procent. I’m in shape for 30 rounds and I’ll be ready for anything. ”

 

Andy Lee

 

“We’ve made unbelievable progress in the last year on my skills and everything has really just clicked for me and my team and now we’re seeing the results in the ring.

 

“I’m very proud to be an Irishman from Limerick defending his world championship in New York, it doesn’t get much better than that.

 

“There’s been a huge weight lifted off my shoulders since winning the world-title. It’s what I always wanted to do and I’ve been touted as a champion for years and if I never got it I would have been disappointed. Now the monkey is off my back and I can just box and show people who I am.

 

“We’ve made physical and tactical improvements in the gym since the last fight and hopefully they’ll show up in the ring på lørdag.

 

“I think this could be a technical fight or it could be a bit of a fire fight. It’s going to be a little of both at times. There will be moments where we’re looking at each other, figuring each other out, but once we exchange it could be explosive.

 

“Quillin is sure of himself, but he has to be, I have the same mentality. You have to be to compete in this sport.

 

“Fighting at home like Quillin is på lørdag, brings a different kind of pressure to the table, it’s the pressure of expectations and people you know coming to the fights. That’s also pressure and I know all about that.

 

“I haven’t needed to build up my confidence for this fight. It’s not time to think. It’s time to do what I’ve been doing every day in the gym.”

 

PETER QUILLIN

 

“I never trailed in a fight and came back and won like Lee. I’ve just won all the time right out of the gate. Those other guys aren’t ‘Kid Chocolate’ so I think that’s why this fight was made.

 

“It’s a big fight for him and a big fight for me. He’s a smart fighter when he’s in trouble so I have to watch out for that. Most importantly I just need to be true to myself.

 

“A lot of people had Lee as the underdog in his last fight but he came out and did great. That’s the thing about boxing; one punch can change the fight.

 

“I’m getting paid for 12 rounds so I’m preparing for 12 rounds but if I can get him out of there early I will.

 

“My whole life has been struggles and I’ve had to overcome every single one of those struggles. This is going to be no different from that.

 

“Being a father of course made me more inspired and watching my uncle pass has made me more motivated than ever to accomplish everything I want.

 

“When I gave up the belt I learned that I can be a bigger man and make tough decisions like that all of the time. People think losing is easy, but winning all the time is a different kind of pressure.”

 

ERROL Spence JR.

 

“I am the best young prospect in the game. I’m on the borderline of contender status and I believe I’m one fight away from being a contender.

 

“I’m a little bit of a mix style-wise. Jeg er en bokser, I can punch and I can fight if I have to.

 

“The fight I learned the most from was with Emanuel Lartey, he was undefeated along with me and it was my first real fight and first time going the distance.

 

“I see myself fighting all the top guys in the welterweight division. I see myself with Keith Thurman, Amir Khan and any top welterweight.

 

“I’m going to look good as always på lørdag nat, It’s going to be fantastic and I’m going to come out with the victory.”

 

MARCUS BROWNE

 

“I’m just blessed to have this opportunity to fight at Barclays Center for the eighth time in front of my hometown fans.

 

“I love performing in in Brooklyn. The fans here are fantastic and they know when I get in the ring they’re going to see something special.

 

“I have a tough opponent in front of me. Han har oplevet, very lanky fighter but we’ve trained very hard and I’m ready for anything he’s got.

 

“Lørdag is going to be a great night for Team Browne, Staten Island and all of my fans. Don’t blink cause you might miss it!”

 

Luis Collazo

 

“I’ve spent some time with the family, regrouping and making sure I still have the same passion for this sport. I’m excited to be back and I jumped at the opportunity to be on this card.

 

“This is what I live for. Boksning er mit liv.

 

“After the Khan fight I took about a month off and then I went straight to the gym. I couldn’t go out like I did against Khan. Ingen undskyldninger, but it was time to go back to the drawing board and stay motivated throughout the whole year.

 

“The fans can expect the same excitement I always bring. I’m more motivated now and hopefully after this fight I can get a big fight and give the fans what they want.”

 

HEATHER HARDY

 

“I have the same mindset going into every fight. I train to fight my fight and make adjustments when get in there.

 

“I feel strong and I feel capable of whatever needs to be done.

 

“I’ve only been boxing for four years so I’m still learning a lot of boxing technique in camp plus working three or four days a week with my strength and conditioning coach.

 

“Fans can expect a good show and a big win out me på lørdag.”
