CIUDAD DE NUEVA YORK (Marzo 19, 2024) – Brooklyn heavyweight Pryce Taylor (3-0, 2 KOs) has successfully transitioned from basketball to boxing and today the 27-year-old prospect is on the rise as an undefeated prize fighter.

Taylor said he brought his legs from the courts into the ring. He first dunked a ball when he was in eighth grade, four inches shorter than the 6’ 4” Taylor is today. Pryce admits missing basketball but quickly notes that he could still play, not necessarily on a team, because he’s not in basketball shape anymore. “I’m in boxing shape,” he proudly noted.

A decorated U.S. boxeador amateur, highlighted by his two New York Golden Gloves Championship titles, Taylor was also a four-time runner-up in USA National Championships, including one to Joshua Edwards, who has qualified to represent as a super heavyweight for Team USA in the 2024 Olympics in Paris.

El año pasado, Taylor had seven wins fighting for New York in the Team Combat League (TCL), which is a one-round, team format competition. Technically-speaking, the wins are not part of his professional boxing record. Taylor has benefitted from that experience and will be competing this season as well.

Taylor played basketball for one season at Corning Community College in upstate New York. “I stopped playing basketball six years ago,” Taylor said. “I’ve had 60 peleas (amateurs, pros and TCL) and believe the best boxers get there with sparring experience. Así, I’ve been getting a lot of experience. I have a good skill set and know what I need to do in the ring.

“My mindset is to do what other boxers don’t do. All boxers learn the basics, but everything they want to throw, I already throw myself, and I know how to counter there’s. Anything they throw I’m able to defend.”

Taylor has been placed on the fast track by his manager, New York City-based attorney Keith Sullivan, who has discovered that it’s not easy finding suitable opponents for Taylor, who because of his size, amateur pedigree and participating in the TCL, is much more advanced than his three pro fights may indicate.

Another invaluable part of Taylor’s development is sparring established heavyweights such as Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller, Otto Wallin, Vladyslav Sirenko, and Brandon Glanton to name a few of the more notables.

Taylor made his pro debut last December, stopping Mike Diorio in the opening round, followed January 27 with the exact same result versus Gabriel Aguilar Costa. In his most recent action in March, Taylor went the distance for the first time as a pro, pitching a four-round shutout for a unanimous decision against Antonio Torres (4-1), 40-36 tres veces.

En su última pelea, held at Sony Hall, Taylor came out to the ring and paraded around the ring afterwards with an Irish flag draped around his massive shoulders (see above picture).

“Keith (Sullivan) knew there would be a lot of Irish fans there to watch an Irish fighter (Emmet Brennan) fighting after me,” Taylor explained. “He figured it was a good way to engage the large Irish crowd, so he draped me in the Irish tri-color flag. He was right, the Irish in attendance absolutely loved it, and I made some more fans.”

Basketball loss is boxing’s gain; Pryce Taylor is a legitimate prospect with tremendous upside.

In addition to managing Pryce Taylor, Keith Sullivan, a former Deputy Commissioner with the New York State Athletic Commission, and longtime boxing lawyer, also manages IBF Bantamweight World Champion Miyo Yoshida (17-4, 0 KOs) and Bronx middleweight prospect Nisa Rodriguez (1-0), in addition to co-managing World Boxing Association (AMB) No. 12-rated welterweight contender Paddy “The Real Deal” Donovan (13-0, 10 KOs), the reigning WBA Continental Champion from Limerick, Irlanda. Sullivan co-manages Donovan with former world middleweight champion Andy Lee.

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

“Crossroads” results from New Hampshire

DERRY, N.H. (Abril 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, presentado por Promociones granito Chin, 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 (CMB) USNBC (Estados Unidos) 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 (dos veces) ySerhiy 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 26º 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 26º."

DesafiadorMarquis 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 60º 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, el invicto peso welterDenzel 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.

El invictoJahye 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 mejoró a 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 welterDustin Reinhold (6-4, 2 KOs) won a 4-round unanimous decision over pro-debutingAntonioAndreozziin what can best be called a rough and tumble match. 

Mediano juniorCarlos Castillo’s professional debut was a gem as the Holyoke, MA fighter droppedTheo Desjardon dos veces, 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.”

En el evento co estelar, New England heavyweight championMike “Fly” Marshall (4-1, 3 KOs), en una pelea sin título, noqueadoTracey Johnson (4-10-6) in the third round.

Popular Boston IrishmanJimmy Torney (3-0, 3 KOs) – 6’ 6”, 269 libra. – 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, Massachusetts, is a college graduate and bonafide prospect to watch.

En una pelea sin título, New England welterweight championMike “Bad Man” Ohan, Jr. (12-1, 6 KOs) schooled his 54-fight Las Vegas opponent, mediano juniorRynell 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.

¿Puede Saunders asegurar su victoria más impresionante hasta la fecha sobre Lemieux??

Deja un comentario

Billy Joe Saunders subirá al ring en diciembre 16 en Canadá como el actual y defensor campeón de peso mediano de la OMB, siendo el orgulloso propietario de un cinturón que ganó en diciembre 2015 al derrotar a su compañero de viaje Andy Lee.

 

Pero desde que superó al irlandés Lee con una decisión mayoritaria para convertirse en campeón del mundo en el Manchester Arena, Saunders solo lo ha defendido en dos ocasiones, con triunfos por decisión unánime sobre Artur Akavov y Willie Monroe Jr., más recientemente.

 

Contra el juego Ruso Akavov, el invicto poseedor del título mundial estuvo lejos de ser impresionante y tal vez incluso tuvo suerte de obtener una decisión tan cómoda al final en el Lagoon Leisure Centre en suelo escocés. La victoria sobre el retador estadounidense Monroe Jr fue mucho mejor, después de haber contratado a Dominic Ingle como su nuevo entrenador.

 

Pero la última pelea fue todavía un asunto monótono y no hizo nada para impulsar o impulsar a Saunders.’ atraer a una audiencia más amplia, mientras superaba cómodamente al zurdo nacido en Nueva York. Durante la mayor parte de la defensa del título, Apenas se le hizo trabajar, con Monroe habiendo llegado con un plan de juego extrañamente ineficiente.

 

Sin embargo, el jugador de 28 años de edad, A continuación, se enfrentará sin duda a la prueba más dura de su carrera hasta la fecha. contra el ex campeón de 160 libras David Lemieux, un desafío mucho más serio que un joven y sin experiencia Chris Eubank Jr, un Andy Lee indiferente y el lejos de amenazar a Willy Monroe Junior.

 

Lemieux canadiense contundente entrará en las cuerdas del ring como el forastero de evens en las últimas probabilidades del boxeo prevalecer en el territorio de origen, un precio prometedor para un luchador en un fuerte aumento de victorias en los últimos tiempos. Desde que fue brutalmente detenido en una actuación galante contra el capo de la división Gennady Golovkin en octubre 2015, el joven de 28 años ha obtenido cuatro victorias consecutivas, incluyendo dos grandes nocauts de Glen Tapia y Curtis Stevens.


De todos los oponentes con los que Saunders se ha enfrentado cara a cara hasta la fecha, ninguno ha poseído el poder de golpe de Lemieux, y eso podría ser un factor decisivo en la noche de la pelea. La última esperanza en casa es promovida por Golden Boy de Oscar De La Hoya, que aparentemente están interesados ​​en emparejar al canadiense con la principal fuente de ingresos, Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez el año que viene, en lugar de lanzarlo con "GGG’ una vez más en una revancha muy esperada.

 

A pesar de ser el favorito para imponerse y mantener su récord invicto en la que será su primera incursión fuera del Reino Unido en su carrera profesional., Parece que las probabilidades están en contra de Saunders para este último encuentro..

 

Ha sido evidente, demasiado, que Saunders no cuenta con el enorme poder capaz de mantener a un Lemieux de pies ligeros lejos de las áreas de peligro durante su enfrentamiento. El artista del nocaut Lemieux produjo lo que eventualmente podría ser votado paro del año en marzo cuando puso brutalmente a Stevens’ luces apagadas en la ciudad de Nueva York.

 

¿Podría estar en juego otro vicioso éxito de paro en casa?? Depende de Saunders e Ingle ejecutar su próximo plan de juego a la perfección para asegurar lo que sería una victoria muy impresionante en la carretera., pero parece probable que sea una noche de prueba en Quebec.

BILLY JOE SAUNDERS DETRONE A ANDY LEE EL SÁBADO PARA CONVERTIRSE EN EL 12 ° CAMPEÓN MUNDIAL BRITÁNICO ACTUAL EN SHO EXTREME® DE MANCHESTER,INGLATERRA

Deja un comentario

NUEVA YORK (Diciembre. 19, 2015) - Billy Joe Saunders destronado campeón mundial de peso medio de la OMB Andy Lee con una decisión mayoritaria de 12 vueltas el sábado Showtime boxeo INTERNACIONAL de Manchester, Inglaterra.

 

La lucha, que fue anotado 115-111, 114-112 y 113-113, se volverá a emitir esta noche a las 9 p.m. Y/PT por SHO EXTREME.

 

En un enfrentamiento de zurdos tácticos, una tercera ronda explosiva de Saunders (23-0, 12 KOs) fue la diferencia. El retador británico derribó a Lee dos veces: primero con un gran gancho de derecha y nuevamente con un contraataque justo 30 segundos después, y un Lee aturdido de alguna manera sobrevivió al 10-7 ronda. Video: http://s.sho.com/1OfibYe

 

El irlandés Lee (34-3-1, 24 KOs) luchó para recuperarse y fue el peleador más agresivo en las rondas del campeonato, pero no fue suficiente para compensar un comienzo lento y las dos caídas.

 

Con la victoria, Saunders se convirtió en el 12º actual campeón mundial británico.

 

"Soy campeón del mundo,"Saunders dijo. “Le gané a un buen campeón hoy, un buen campeón robusto. Usé su poder contra él. Cuando estaba boxeando, se descuidó un poco y dejó caer su mano delantera y lo atrapé con el gancho..

 

"No voy a empezar a correr la boca, pero fue un buen tiro. Con alguien tan rápido como yo tienes que levantar las manos. No soy el pegador más grande del mundo, pero te mostré allí que puedo golpear ".

 

AMB campeón mundial de peso medio Daniel Jacobs, recién salido de un nocaut en la primera ronda de Peter Quillin hace dos semanas en SHOWTIME, fue un analista invitado en sábado de Nueva York.

 

"Pensé que iba a ser un gran luchador, Pensé que tenía mejores activos,"Jacobs dijo de Lee. "No hizo lo suficiente por mí. Era demasiado complaciente y después de la caída no se veía esa sensación de urgencia que debe tener un luchador en la ruta de regreso..

 

"Todo el crédito se debe a Billy Joe, pero no fue una victoria impresionante ".

 

Después de ver la pelea, Jacobs no estaba listo para comprometerse con un enfrentamiento de unificación en 2016 con el ganador.

 

"Haremos lo que tenga sentido,"Jacobs dijo. "Creo que es hora de sentarse y averiguar qué tiene sentido. Obviamente, es un buen momento para ser campeón de peso mediano ".

Esto es lo que Lee y Saunders dijeron en sus entrenamientos con los medios el martes y Lunes, respectivamente:

 

ANDY LEE:

"Tengo un puñetazo que puede acabar con una pelea, apagar las luces, en cualquier segundo dado.

 

"No confiaré en el golpe. Buscaré dominar desde el principio con una presión educada.

 

"Me siento muy peligroso en este momento.

 

"El récord invicto de Saunders es una desventaja. Siempre ha estado en peleas que se espera que gane y ha sido bien dirigido por(Franco) Madriguera.

 

"Nunca he perdido una pelea por puntos y nunca lo haré por puntos. Si estoy mal en las cartas, saldré a hacer swing en la última ronda.

 

“El hecho de que Saunders sea un compañero de viaje agrega otra capa, pero al final el día se trata de lo bueno que eres y él no es lo suficientemente bueno como para vencerme ".

 

BILLY JOE SAUNDERS:

"Estoy listo para empezar Sábado noche. Este es el mejor campamento que he tenido. Estoy preparado para la prueba más dura de mi carrera., pero sé que estoy en excelente forma para ganar esta pelea y convertirme en campeón mundial.

 

"Andy Lee es un luchador duro; lo ha demostrado al convertirse en campeón mundial y tener el tipo de carrera que ha tenido. Pero estoy invicto y tengo hambre y sé que estoy al borde de cumplir un sueño de la infancia.. No me voy a dejar ese anillo sin el titulo.

 

“Entrenar en España me permite encerrarme lejos de todas las distracciones y concentrarme únicamente en la pelea. Es difícil estar lejos de casa, pero todo es parte del boxeo. Ha sido un campamento largo, un campamento duro, pero después de eso sé que estoy listo para atravesar el infierno para asegurarme de tener éxito en la noche de la pelea.

 

"La división de peso mediano es una de las más calientes y estoy preparado para pelear con cualquiera de los otros campeones una vez que gane el título..

 

"Danny Jacobs Tuvo una gran victoria contra Peter Quillin, y luego esta Canelo (Alvarez) y (Gennady) Golovkin. Sé la importancia de esta lucha por la división y quiero que mi nombre esté entre los mejores. Lo estoy dando paso a paso, pero estoy abierto a pelear con cualquiera.

 

"No ha habido charlas basura con Andy porque sabemos de qué se trata cada persona. Compartimos antecedentes similares y ninguno de nosotros va a dar un paso atrás..

 

"Esta será una pelea de acción muy emocionante porque lo dejaremos todo en el ring. Sé que tengo las habilidades para vencerlo y tengo la intención de mostrarle al mundo por qué estoy entre los mejores ".

 

Saunders sobre su compañero británico Chris Eubank Jr..:

“La verdad del asunto es que Eubank Jr. no pertenece a nivel mundial, es un farsante. Es asi de simple como eso. No me impresionó su victoria sobre Gary O'Sullivan, a quien ya he vencido. Cree que puede engañar al público con una victoria como esa., pero no puede.

 

“Su objetivo ahora es ascender y luchar contra los mejores del mundo, pero vimos lo que sucedió la última vez que dio un paso adelante y me enfrentó: estaba muy expuesto. Lo mismo pasará con él si pelea con alguien como Danny Jacobs por el título de la AMB..

 

"No eres el mejor peso mediano en tu propio país y quieres pelear con un campeón mundial y decir que lo vas a vencer? Creo que es una ilusión y él cree que es más grande de lo que realmente es..

 

"Más temprano que tarde, volverá a ser expuesto como el fraude que es. Puedes seguir hablando, pero eventualmente tienes que respaldarlo en el ring contra luchadores de alto nivel. Ganó su última pelea y ahora ha vuelto a hablar (expletivo) de nuevo como si fuera el mejor luchador de la historia.

 

"Si tiene las pelotas para pelear de nuevo, lo cual dudo, Felizmente le daría otra paliza, esta vez de una manera aún más convincente ".

BROOKLYN (Abril 12, 2015) – Liga de Campeones de Boxeo en NBC returned with two exciting bouts Sábado night as Danny “Rápido” García (30-0, 17 KOs) derrotado Lamont Peterson (33-3-1, 17 KOs) by majority decision and “Irlandés” Andy Lee (34-2-1, 24 KOs) y 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.

 

“Me siento muy bien. I prepared for a war. He was moving a lot. I thought it was close, not going to lie,” dijo García. “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,” dijo Peterson. “I don’t expect an easy journey for me to get where I’m going. Me siento muy bien. 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 por ciento. 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.”

 

“Fue una pelea dura. 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 esta noche. 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 rondas.

 

“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. Sábado is going to be about who can make the right adjustments.

 

“I love 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 Sábado 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.

 

“Estoy listo para pelear, 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 Abril 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, El presidente de 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 en la 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, pero no será fácil.

 

“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, Presidente, Programación, 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 este sábado 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 de Barclays Center

 

“Este sábado marks a historic moment for Barclays Center as we host our 11ºprofessional 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’ carreras, but have relished in the role of becoming the home for Champions.”

Here are what the fighters had to say at Tuesday’s ejercitarse:

 

DANNY GARCIA

 

“I just want to give the fans a great fight. I want them to see the best Danny Garcia. Al final de la día, 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. Tal Como Abril 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. Todos saben eso. Tengo el poder. 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. Me encanta luchar. 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. Tal Como Sábado 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. Al final de la día, Garcia knows this is a fight and he knows he hasn’t fought anyone like me. I’m expecting a big victory Sábado noche.

 

“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. Estoy preparado 100 por ciento. 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 en sábado.

 

“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 en sábado, 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; un golpe puede cambiar la pelea.

 

“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. Soy un boxeador, 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 en sábado noche, 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.

 

“Tengo un oponente duro frente a mí. Tiene experiencia, very lanky fighter but we’ve trained very hard and I’m ready for anything he’s got.

 

“Sábado 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. El boxeo es mi vida.

 

“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. No hay excusas, 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 en sábado.”
