NEW YORK CITY (Mars 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. boxeur 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 Jeux Olympiques à Paris.

L'année dernière, 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 combats (amateurs, pros and TCL) and believe the best boxers get there with sparring experience. Si, 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 trois fois.

Dans son dernier combat, 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 (WBA) Ne Pas. 12-rated welterweight contender Paddy “The Real Deal” Donovan (13-0, 10 KOs), the reigning WBA Continental Champion from Limerick, Irlande. Sullivan co-manages Donovan with former world middleweight champion Andy Lee.

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

Laisser un commentaire

“Crossroads” results from New Hampshire

DERRY, N.H. (Avril 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, présenté par 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 (Etats-Unis) 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 (deux fois) etSerhiy 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 26e 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 26e."

ProvocateurMarquis 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 60e 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, poids welter invaincuDenzel 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.

InvaincuJahye 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 pour améliorer 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, welters MADustin Reinhold (6-4, 2 KOs) won a 4-round unanimous decision over pro-debutingAnthonyAndreozziin what can best be called a rough and tumble match. 

Moyen juniorCarlos Castillo’s professional debut was a gem as the Holyoke, MA fighter droppedTheo Desjardon deux fois, 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.”

Dans le cas de co-vedette, New England heavyweight championMike “Fly” Marshall (4-1, 3 KOs), dans un combat sans titre, assomméTracey 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.

Dans un combat sans titre, New England welterweight championMike "Bad Man" Ohan, Jr. (12-1, 6 KOs) schooled his 54-fight Las Vegas opponent, moyen 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.

Saunders peut-il obtenir sa victoire la plus impressionnante à ce jour contre Lemieux?

Laisser un commentaire

Billy Joe Saunders montera sur le ring en décembre 16 au Canada en tant que champion des poids moyens WBO en titre et en titre, être l'heureux propriétaire d'une ceinture qu'il a remportée en décembre 2015 en battant son compagnon de voyage Andy Lee.

 

Mais depuis que l'Irlandais Lee a réussi à remporter une décision à la majorité devenir champion du monde à la Manchester Arena, Saunders ne l'a défendu qu'à deux reprises, avec décision unanime, triomphe Artur Akavov et Willie Monroe Jr., plus récemment.

 

Contre le jeu russe Akavov, le tenant du titre mondial invaincu était loin d'être impressionnant et peut-être même chanceux d'obtenir une décision aussi confortable à la fin au Lagoon Leisure Centre sur le sol écossais. La victoire sur le challenger américain Monroe Jr était bien meilleure, ayant ensuite engagé Dominic Ingle comme son nouvel entraîneur.

 

Mais ce dernier combat était toujours une affaire terne et n'a rien fait pour faire avancer ou stimuler Saunders’ attirer un public plus large, comme il a surpassé le gaucher né à New York assez confortablement. Pour la plupart de la défense du titre, il était à peine fait pour travailler du tout, avec Monroe étant venu avec un plan de jeu étrangement inefficace.

 

Cependant, le 28-year-old affrontera sans aucun doute son test de carrière le plus difficile à ce jour contre l'ancien champion des 160lbs David Lemieux, un défi beaucoup plus sérieux qu'un Chris Eubank Jr inexpérimenté et jeune, un Andy Lee indifférent et le loin de menacer Willy Monroe Junior.

 

Le Canadien percutant Lemieux entrera dans les cordes du ring comme l'outsider égal dans les dernières cotes de boxe pour l'emporter sur le territoire d'origine, un prix prometteur pour un combattant sur une forte vague de victoires ces derniers temps. Depuis qu'il a été brutalement arrêté lors d'une galante démonstration contre le roi de la division Gennady Golovkin en octobre 2015, le joueur de 28 ans a remporté quatre victoires consécutives, dont deux gros KO de Glen Tapia et Curtis Stevens.


De tous les adversaires, Saunders a côtoyé à ce jour, aucun n'a possédé le pouvoir de frappe de Lemieux, Et cela pourrait être un facteur décisif dans la nuit de combat. Ce dernier espoir à domicile est promu par le Golden Boy d'Oscar De La Hoya, qui sont apparemment désireux de faire correspondre le Canadien avec la principale vache à lait Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez l'année prochaine, plutôt que de le jeter avec ‘GGG’ encore une fois dans un match revanche très attendu.

 

En dépit d'être le favori pour l'emporter et maintenir son record invaincu sur ce qui sera sa première aventure en dehors du Royaume-Uni dans sa carrière professionnelle, il semble que les chances sont en fait contre Saunders pour cette dernière rencontre.

 

C'était évident, trop, que Saunders ne dispose pas de la puissance massive capable de garder un Lemieux aux pieds de flotte loin des zones dangereuses tout au long de leur match. L'artiste Knockout Lemieux a produit ce qui pourrait éventuellement être voté arrêt de l'année en mars lorsqu'il a brutalement mis Stevens’ lumières éteintes à New York.

 

Un autre succès d'arrêt vicieux pourrait-il être sur les cartes à la maison? C’est à Saunders et Ingle d’exécuter parfaitement leur prochain plan de jeu pour assurer ce qui serait une victoire très impressionnante sur la route., mais il semble probable que ce soit une soirée vraiment éprouvante au Québec.

BILLY JOE SAUNDERS DETHRONES ANDY LEE SAMEDI POUR DEVENIR 12e CHAMPION DU MONDE BRITANNIQUE ACTUEL SUR SHO EXTREME® DE MANCHESTER,ANGLETERRE

Laisser un commentaire

NEW YORK (Décembre. 19, 2015) - Billy Joe Saunders Champion du monde des poids moyens détrôné WBO Andy Lee avec une décision majoritaire à 12 tours samedi le BOXE SHOWTIME INTERNATIONAL de Manchester, Angleterre.

 

La lutte, qui a été marqué 115-111, 114-112 et 113-113, sera rediffusé ce soir à 9 p.m. ET/PT sur SHO EXTREME.

 

Dans un match de gauchers tactiques, un troisième round explosif de Saunders (23-0, 12 KOs) était la différence. Le challenger britannique a frappé Lee deux fois - d'abord avec un gros crochet droit et à nouveau avec un compteur juste 30 quelques secondes plus tard - et Lee étourdi survécut d'une manière ou d'une autre 10-7 tour. FAITS SAILLANTS VIDEO: http://s.sho.com/1OfibYe

 

L'Irlandais Lee (34-3-1, 24 KOs) a combattu son chemin et a été le combattant le plus agressif dans les rondes de championnat, mais ce n’était pas suffisant pour compenser un démarrage lent et les deux renversements.

 

Avec la victoire, Saunders est devenu le 12e champion du monde britannique actuel.

 

«Je suis champion du monde,”A déclaré Saunders. «J'ai battu un bon champion aujourd'hui, un bon champion robuste. J'ai utilisé son pouvoir contre lui. Quand je boxais, il est devenu un peu imprudent et a laissé tomber sa main de tête et je l'ai attrapé avec le crochet.

 

«Je ne vais pas commencer à faire couler ma bouche, mais c'était un bon coup. Avec quelqu'un d'aussi vite que moi, tu dois garder les mains levées. Je ne suis pas le plus gros puncheur du monde, mais je vous ai montré là-bas que je peux frapper.

 

WBA Middleweight Champion du Monde Daniel Jacobs, fraîchement sorti d'un KO au premier tour de Peter Quillin il y a deux semaines à SHOWTIME, était un analyste invité Samedi de New York.

 

«Je pensais qu'il allait être un gros bagarreur, Je pensais qu'il avait de meilleurs atouts,”Jacobs a dit de Lee. «Il n’a pas fait assez pour moi. Il était trop complaisant et après le renversement, vous n'avez pas vu ce sentiment d'urgence qu'un combattant doit avoir sur la piste de retour.

 

«Tout le crédit est dû à Billy Joe, mais ce n’était pas une victoire impressionnante. »

 

Après avoir regardé le combat, Jacobs n'était pas prêt à s'engager dans une confrontation à l'unification en 2016 avec le gagnant.

 

«Nous ferons tout ce qui a du sens,”A dit Jacobs. "Je pense qu'il est temps de s'asseoir et de comprendre ce qui a du sens. C'est évidemment le bon moment pour devenir un champion des poids moyens. »

Le Showtime Boxing INTERNATIONAL offrande duBoxNation la télédiffusion présentera une analyse des experts de la boxe SHOWTIME Brian Custer, Al Bernstein et Paulie Malignaggiavant et après la confrontation au championnat du monde. Une présentation de rappel du combat sera diffusée sur SHO EXTREME plus tard dans la soirée à 9 p.m. ET/PT.

 

Voici ce que Lee et Saunders avaient à dire lors de leurs séances d’entraînement avec les médias de mardi et Lundi, respectivement:

 

Andy Lee:

«J'ai un coup de poing qui peut mettre fin à un combat, couvre-feu, dans une seconde donnée.

 

"Je ne compte pas sur le punch. Je chercherai à dominer dès le départ avec une pression éclairée.

 

«Je me sens très dangereux en ce moment.

 

«Le record invaincu de Saunders est un désavantage. Il a toujours été dans des combats qu’il est censé gagner et a été bien géré par(Franc) Garenne.

 

«Je n’ai jamais perdu un combat aux points et je ne le ferai jamais aux points. Si je suis sur les cartes, je sortirai en me balançant au dernier tour.

 

«Saunders étant un compagnon de route ajoute une autre couche, mais à la fin de la journée, c'est à quel point tu es bon et il n'est pas assez bon pour me battre. "

 

BILLY JOE SAUNDERS:

"Je suis prêt à partir pour Samedi nuit. C’est le meilleur camp que j’ai jamais eu. Je suis prêt pour le test le plus difficile de ma carrière, mais je sais que je suis en excellente forme pour gagner ce combat et devenir champion du monde.

 

«Andy Lee est un combattant difficile - il a prouvé qu’en devenant champion du monde et en ayant le type de carrière qu’il a eu. Mais je suis invaincu et j'ai faim et je sais que je suis sur le point de réaliser un rêve d'enfance. Je ne vais pas quitter cette bague sans le titre.

 

«L'entraînement en Espagne me permet de m'isoler de toutes les distractions et de me concentrer uniquement sur le combat. C’est dur d’être loin de chez soi, mais tout cela fait partie de la boxe. Ça a été un long camp, un camp difficile, Mais après ça je sais que je suis prêt à traverser l'enfer pour m'assurer que je réussis, viens combattre la nuit.

 

"La division des poids moyens est l'une des plus chaudes du monde et je suis prêt à combattre l'un des autres champions une fois que je remporterai le titre..

 

"Danny Jacobs a eu une belle victoire contre Peter Quillin, et puis il y a Canelo (Alvarez) et (Gennady) Golovkine. Je connais l'importance de ce combat pour la division et je veux que mon nom soit parmi les meilleurs. Je fais un pas à la fois, mais je suis ouvert à combattre n'importe qui.

 

«Il n'y a pas eu de discussion trash avec Andy parce que nous savons ce que chaque personne est. Nous partageons une expérience similaire et aucun de nous ne va reculer.

 

«Ce sera un combat tout-action très excitant parce que nous allons tout laisser sur le ring. Je sais que j'ai les compétences pour le battre et j'ai l'intention de montrer au monde entier pourquoi je suis parmi les meilleurs. "

 

Saunders sur son compatriote britannique Chris Eubank Jr.:

«La vérité est que Eubank Jr. n'appartient pas au niveau mondial - c'est un faux. Il est aussi simple que cela. Je n’ai pas été impressionné par sa victoire Gary O'Sullivan, que j'ai déjà battu. Il pense qu'il peut tromper le public avec une victoire comme ça, mais il ne peut pas.

 

«Son objectif maintenant est de progresser et de combattre les meilleurs gars du monde, mais nous avons vu ce qui s'est passé la dernière fois qu'il a augmenté d'un cran et m'a fait face: il était mal exposé. La même chose se produira avec lui s'il combat quelqu'un comme Danny Jacobs pour le titre WBA.

 

«Vous n’êtes pas le meilleur poids moyen de votre pays et vous voulez vous battre contre un champion du monde et dire que vous allez le battre? Je pense que c'est une illusion et il pense qu'il est plus grand qu'il ne l'est en réalité.

 

"Tôt plutôt que tard, il sera de nouveau dénoncé en tant que fraude qu'il est. Tu peux continuer à parler, mais finalement vous devez le sauvegarder sur le ring contre des combattants de haut niveau. Il a gagné son dernier combat et maintenant il est de retour (explétif) encore comme s'il était le meilleur combattant de l'histoire.

 

«S'il a les couilles pour se battre à nouveau, dont je doute, Je lui donnerais volontiers un autre coup, cette fois de façon encore plus convaincante.

Saunders était aussi un amateur accompli; il a représenté l'Angleterre dans le 2008 Jeux Olympiques comme un poids welter à l'âge de 18. Saunders est l'arrière-petit-fils de l'un des champions gitans les plus célèbres de Grande-Bretagne, Absolom Beeney.

 

"Ceci est une nuit énorme pour moi et je suis heureux que ça va sortir en direct à l'Amérique,”A déclaré Saunders. "Les Etats Unis. les téléspectateurs verront ce que je peux faire quand je ferai face à Lee et deviendrai champion du monde. C’est un gros coup de pouce pour moi et prend le combat à un autre niveau lorsque la télévision américaine arrive à bord et que vous savez que c’est un gros combat sur la scène mondiale.

Promoteur Frank Warren dit, "Je suis ravi que Showtime sera maintenant la télédiffusion Lee vs. Saunders vivent dans l'U.S. car il confirme l'importance de ce combat sur la scène mondiale. Ma relation avec le réseau remonte à de nombreuses années avec des combats comme Joe Calzaghe vs. Jeff Lacy, Ricky Hatton vs. Kostya Tszyu, Frank Bruno vs. Oliver McCall, plus Naseem Hamed et Nigel Benn se battent. Je crois que Lee vs. Saunders sera un autre grand combat à ajouter à cette liste en raison des enjeux pour les deux combattants. Ce qui attend le vainqueur le fera se battre de son mieux.

BROOKLYN (Avril 12, 2015) – Premier Champions de boxe sur NBC returned with two exciting bouts Samedi night as Danny “Rapide” Garcia (30-0, 17 KOs) vaincu Lamont Peterson (33-3-1, 17 KOs) by majority decision and “Irlandais” Andy Lee (34-2-1, 24 KOs) et 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.

 

“Je me sens bien. I prepared for a war. He was moving a lot. I thought it was close, not going to lie,” a déclaré 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,” a déclaré M. Peterson. “I don’t expect an easy journey for me to get where I’m going. Je me sens 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 pour cent. 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,” Saïd 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.”

 

“Il était un combat difficile. 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 ce soir. If my next fight is Peter Quillin.”

 

Premier Boxing Champions on NBC was promoted by DiBella Entertainment and sponsored by Corona.

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 tours.

 

“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. Samedi 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 Samedi 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.

 

“Je suis prêt à se battre, 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 Avril 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.”

DiBella LOU, Président 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 sur 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, mais il ne sera pas facile.

 

“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, Président, Programmation, 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 ce samedi 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, PDG de Barclays Center

 

“Ce samedi marks a historic moment for Barclays Center as we host our 11eprofessional 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 De mardi faire des exercices:

 

DANNY GARCIA

 

“I just want to give the fans a great fight. I want them to see the best Danny Garcia. A la fin de la journée,, 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. Comme Avril 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. Je dois pouvoir. 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. J'adore se battre. 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. Comme Samedi 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. A la fin de la journée,, Garcia knows this is a fight and he knows he hasn’t fought anyone like me. I’m expecting a big victory Samedi nuit.

 

“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. Je suis prêt 100 pour cent. 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 Samedi.

 

“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 Samedi, 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 coup de poing peut changer le combat.

 

“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. Je suis un boxeur, 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 Samedi nuit, 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. Il est connu, very lanky fighter but we’ve trained very hard and I’m ready for anything he’s got.

 

“Samedi 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. La boxe est ma vie.

 

“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. Pas d'excuses, 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 Samedi.”
