NEW YORK CITY (Gājiens 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. amatieru bokseris, 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.

Pagājušajā gadā, 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 cīņas (amateurs, pros and TCL) and believe the best boxers get there with sparring experience. Tik, 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 trīs reizes.

Savā pēdējā cīņā, 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) Do Not. 12-rated welterweight contender Paddy “The Real Deal” Donovan (13-0, 10 Kos), the reigning WBA Continental Champion from Limerick, Īrija. Sullivan co-manages Donovan with former world middleweight champion Andy Lee.

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

Atstājiet savu komentāru

“Crossroads” results from New Hampshire

DERRY, N.H. (Aprīlis 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 (ASV) 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 (divreiz) unSerhiy 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, undefeated papildsvarsDenzel 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 uzlabots, lai 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 middleweightCarlos Castillo’s professional debut was a gem as the Holyoke, MA fighter droppedTheo Desjardon divreiz, 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.”

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 middleweightRynell 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.

Can Saunders Secure His Most Impressive Win to Date Over Lemieux?

Atstājiet savu komentāru

Billy Joe Saunders will take to the ring on December 16 in Canada as the reigning and defending WBO middleweight champion, being the proud owner of a belt which he won way back in December 2015 when defeating fellow traveller Andy Lee.

 

But since outpointing Irishman Lee with a majority decision success to become world champion at the Manchester Arena, Saunders has only defended it on two occasions, with unanimous decision triumphs over Artur Akavov and Willie Monroe Jr., more recently.

 

Against game Russian Akavov, the undefeated world title holder was far from impressive and perhaps even lucky to get such a comfortable decision in the end at the Lagoon Leisure Centre on Scottish soil. The win over American challenger Monroe Jr was a lot better, having then undertaken Dominic Ingle as his newest coach.

 

But the latter bout was still a drab affair and did nothing to further or boost Saunders’ appeal to a broader audience, as he outworked the New York-born southpaw quite comfortably. For most of the title defence, he was barely made to work at all, with Monroe having come in with a bizarrely inefficient gameplan.

 

Tomēr, the 28-year-old will next face undoubtedly his toughest career test to date against former 160lbs champion David Lemieux, a far more serious challenge than an inexperienced and youthful Chris Eubank Jr, an indifferent Andy Lee and the far from threatening Willy Monroe Junior.

 

Hard-hitting Canadian Lemieux will enter the ring ropes as the evens outsider in the latest boxing odds to prevail on home territory, a promising price for a fighter on a strong surge of victories of late. Since being viciously stopped in a gallant showing against the division kingpin Gennady Golovkin in October 2015, the 28-year-old has earned four consecutive wins, including two big knockouts of Glen Tapia and Curtis Stevens.


Of all the opponents Saunders has gone toe to toe with to date, none have possessed the punching power of Lemieux, and that could be a decisive factor come fight night. The latter home hope is promoted by Oscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy, who are seemingly keen to match the Canadian up with main cash cow Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez next year, rather than throw him in with ‘GGG’ once again in a highly awaited rematch.

 

Despite being the favourite to prevail and maintain his unbeaten record on what will be his maiden venture outside of the UK in his professional career, it seems the odds are actually stacked against Saunders for this latest encounter.

 

It has been evident, pārāk, that Saunders doesn’t boast the massive power capable of keeping a fleet-footed Lemieux away from the danger areas throughout their match-up. Knockout artist Lemieux produced what could eventually be voted stoppage of the year back in March when he brutally put Stevens’ lights out in New York City.

 

Could another vicious stoppage success be on the cards on home soil? It’s up to Saunders and Ingle to execute their upcoming gameplan perfectly to secure what would be a highly impressive victory on the road, but it looks likely of being a truly testing night in Quebec.

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

Atstājiet savu komentāru

NEW YORK (Decembris. 19, 2015) – Billy Joe Saunders dethroned WBO Middleweight World Champion Andy Lee with a 12-round majority decision Saturday on SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL no Manchester, Anglija.

 

Cīņa, kas ieguva 115-111, 114-112 un 113-113, will re-air tonight at 9 p.m. UN/PT par 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 apaļš. Video izceļ: 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.

 

Ar uzvaru, Saunders became the 12th current British world champion.

 

“I’m world champion,” Saunders said. “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 middleweight Pasaules čempions Daniel Jacobs, fresh off a first round knockout of Peter Quillin two weeks ago on SHOWTIME, was a guest analyst sestdien no Ņujorkas.

 

“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.”

NEW YORK (Decembris. 15, 2015) – WBO Middleweight World Champion Andy Lee un undefeated Challenger Billy Joe Saunders held separate media workouts in Manchester, Anglija, as they conclude preparations for their eagerly awaited showdown this Sestdiena, Decembris. 19, live on SHO EXTREME (5 p.m. UN/PT)from Manchester Arena.

 

Īrijas 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 middleweight sāncensis.

 

The Showtime boksa INTERNATIONAL piedāvājums noBoxNation telecast will feature analysis from SHOWTIME boxing experts Brian Custer, Al Bernstein un Pauls Malignaggibefore and after the world championship showdown. An encore presentation of the bout will air on SHO EXTREME later that evening at 9 p.m. UN/PT.

 

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

 

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(Vaļsirdīgs) Trušu rezervāts.

 

“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 Sestdiena nakts. 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) un (Genādijs) 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. Tas ir tik vienkārši. 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 (lamu vārds) 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.”

I believe that Lee vs. Saunders will be another great fight to add to that list because of what’s at stake for both fighters. What lies ahead for the winner will make them fight to their very best.”

BROOKLYN (Aprīlis 12, 2015) – Premier Boksa Champions par NBC returned with two exciting bouts Sestdiena night as Danny “Ātrs” Garcia (30-0, 17 Kos) uzvarēta Lamont Peterson (33-3-1, 17 Kos) by majority decision and “Īrijas” Andy Lee (34-2-1, 24 Kos) un 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.

 

“Es jūtos lieliski. 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. Es jūtos lieliski. 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 procents. 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.”

 

“Tas bija grūts cīņa. 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 šovakar. If my next fight is Peter Quillin.”

Lai uzlādētu tālruni, zvaniet Ticketmaster at (800) 745-3000. Par grupu biļetēm, lūdzu, zvaniet 800-GROUP-BK.

 

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 kārtas.

 

“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. Sestdiena 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 Sestdiena 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.

 

“Es esmu gatavs cīnīties, 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 Aprīlis 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, Prezidents DiBella Izklaide

 

“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 par 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, bet tas nebūs viegli.

 

“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, Prezidents, Programmēšana, 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 Šo sestdien 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, Izpilddirektors Barclays Center

 

“Šo sestdien 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.”

BROOKLYN (Aprīlis 7, 2015) – Fighters konkurējoši par sestdienas Premier Boksa Champions par NBC cīņu nakts šodien piedalījās mediju treniņā Barclays centrā, gaidot viņu gaidāmās cīņas.

Lūk, ko cīnītājiem bija jāsaka Otrdienas laiks:

 

Danny GARCIA

 

“Es tikai gribu dot faniem lielu cīņu. Es gribu, lai viņi redzētu labāko Deniju Garsiju. Beigās dienas, šī ir cīņa, kuru fani vēlas redzēt. Mana galvenā uzmanība tiek veltīta lieliskam šovam faniem.

 

“Savā karjerā esmu saskāries ar daudz prasmīgiem bokseriem un joprojām esmu neuzvarēts. Tam vajadzētu pateikt faniem visā pasaulē, kam ir vairāk prasmju. Šāda kā Aprīlis 11 kad viņš sajutīs šīs divas bumbas sejā, viņš aizmirsīs savu prasmi.

 

“Es tikai vēlos dot faniem lielisku cīņu. Es neesmu pārāk noraizējies par ‘0’ manā ierakstā. Es cītīgi cīnos, lai to aizsargātu, bet mans galvenais uzdevums ir iet iekšā un paveikt darbu vienā cīņā vienlaikus.

 

“Viss, ko esmu darījis savā karjerā, ir iemesls. Tagad esmu šeit NBC, cīnoties šajā lielajā spēles laukumā. Tas ir lieliski piemērots boksam un svaiga gaisa elpa sportam.

 

“Es tikai gribu būt pārliecināta un vienlaikus pazemīga. Es gribu, lai fani mani mīl, jo es esmu pati. Jaunam čempionam tas ir ļoti svarīgi.

 

“Es mēģināšu diktēt tempu, esi gudrs, pakustini galvu, izmantojiet manas kājas un nolaidiet labus sitienus. Es nevaru mēģināt viņu vajāt.

 

“Es kādreiz mīlēju citus lieliskus Puertoriko bokserus, piemēram, Feliksu Trinidadu, Migels Kotto un Hektors Kamaho. Man šķiet, ka es noteikti strādāju kopā ar viņiem un sekoju viņu pēdām.

 

“Man ringā jābūt gudram. Man tur jāiet iekšā un jābūt Denijam Garsijam. Es esmu šeit, jo esmu gudrs cīnītājs. To zina visi. Man ir vara. Es atradīšu savu atklāšanos un izmantošu viņa kļūdas.”

 

 

LAMONT PETERSON

 

“Šī man ir tikai kārtējā cīņa. Mani neuztrauc tas, ka esmu galvenais notikums. Es mīlu, lai cīnītos. Kamēr es cīnos, esmu laimīgs.

 

“Daudzi cilvēki redz, kā mēs cīnāmies, un redz, kā mēs sitām, bet tā ir tikai vieglākā daļa. Upuris sporta zālē un ķermeņa atlaišana ar sodu ir rupjā daļa.

 

“Es nemēģinu pierādīt nevienam nepareizu, bet šī cīņa man ir svarīga, un es vēlos tajā uzvarēt. Es gribu būt labākais puisis, un tas nozīmē, ka jāsit top puisis.

 

“Cilvēki runā par to, ka viņš piekāva Matīsu un Matīss mani, bet ikviens, kurš zina par boksu, zina, ka tas neko nenozīmē. Šāda kā Sestdiena naktī es visiem pierādīšu, ka esmu labāks cīnītājs nekā Denijs Garsija.

 

“Eņģelim Garsijai ir savs viedoklis par šo cīņu, un es to cienu. Viņš var reģistrēties un teikt visu, ko vēlas, bet, ja viņš saka, ka Denijs Garsija ir stiprāks par mani, Es jums teikšu, ka tie ir meli.

 

“Mēs neuztraucamies par Denija spēku. Daudzi cilvēki man to ir jautājuši, bet es neuztraucos. Denijam Garsijam bija dalīts lēmums ar Kendalu Holtu, kuru es izsitu. Šķiet, ka neviens to nemin.

 

“Jebkurā veidā šī cīņa man ir ērta. Es gandrīz garantēju uzvaru.

 

“Es nedomāju, ka viņi mani izturas viegli. Beigās dienas, Garsija zina, ka šī ir cīņa, un viņš zina, ka nav cīnījies ar tādu kā es. Es gaidu lielu uzvaru Sestdiena nakts.

 

“Nekad nevar zināt, ko redzēsi ar mani. Lai ko es jūtos kā man jādara, lai uzvarētu, to es darīšu. Es esmu gatavs 100 procents. Es esmu formā 30 kārtām, un es būšu gatava uz visu. ”

 

ANDY LEE

 

“Pēdējā gada laikā mēs esam panākuši neticamu progresu attiecībā uz manām prasmēm, un man un manai komandai viss ir vienkārši klikšķis, un tagad mēs redzam rezultātus ringā.

 

“Esmu ļoti lepna, ka esmu īrs no Limerikas, aizstāvot savu pasaules čempionātu Ņujorkā, tas nekļūst daudz labāks par to.

 

“Kopš pasaules čempiona titula iegūšanas man no pleciem ir atcelts milzīgs svars. Tas ir tas, ko es vienmēr gribēju darīt, un mani jau gadiem ilgi reklamē kā čempionu, un, ja es to nekad nesaņemtu, es būtu vīlusies. Tagad mērkaķis ir nost no muguras, un es varu vienkārši boksēties un parādīt cilvēkiem, kas es esmu.

 

“Kopš pēdējās cīņas sporta zālē esam veikuši fiziskus un taktiskus uzlabojumus, un, cerams, ka viņi parādīsies ringā sestdien.

 

“Es domāju, ka tā varētu būt tehniska cīņa vai arī mazliet uguns cīņa. Reizēm tas būs nedaudz no abiem. Būs brīži, kad mēs skatīsimies viens uz otru, izdomājot viens otru, bet, kad mēs apmainīsimies, tas varētu būt eksplozīvs.

 

“Kvilins ir pārliecināts par sevi, bet viņam ir jābūt, Man ir tāda pati mentalitāte. Jums jābūt, lai sacenstos šajā sporta veidā.

 

“Cīnīties mājās tāpat kā Quillin sestdien, ienes galdā cita veida spiedienu, tas ir cerību un cilvēku, kurus jūs pazīstat, spiediens nāk uz cīņām. Tas ir arī spiediens, un es par to visu zinu.

 

“Man nav bijis jāveido pārliecība par šo cīņu. Nav pienācis laiks domāt. Ir pienācis laiks darīt to, ko katru dienu darīju sporta zālē.”

 

PETER QUILLIN

 

“Es nekad nesekoju cīņā un atgriezos un uzvarēju kā Lī. Es tikko visu laiku esmu uzvarējis tieši ārpus vārtiem. Šie citi puiši nav ‘Kid Chocolate’ tāpēc es domāju, ka tieši tāpēc šī cīņa tika veidota.

 

“Tā ir liela cīņa viņam un liela cīņa man. Viņš ir gudrs cīnītājs, kad viņam ir nepatikšanas, tāpēc man tas jāuzmanās. Vissvarīgākais ir tas, ka man vienkārši jābūt patiesai pret sevi.

 

“Daudziem cilvēkiem Lī bija pēdējais cīņas dalībnieks, taču viņš iznāca un paveicās lieliski. Tā ir lieta par boksu; viens sitiens var mainīt cīņu.

 

“Man maksā 12 kārtās, tāpēc es gatavojos 12 kārtas, bet, ja es viņu varēšu izvest no turienes, es to darīšu.

 

“Visa mana dzīve ir bijusi cīņa, un man nācās pārvarēt katru no šīm cīņām. Tas neatšķirsies no tā.

 

“Protams, ka es biju tēvs, tas mani iedvesmoja, un, skatoties tēvoča piespēli, es biju motivēts kā jebkad agrāk paveikt visu, ko vēlos.

 

“Kad atteicos no jostas, es uzzināju, ka varu būt lielāks vīrietis un visu laiku pieņemt tādus smagus lēmumus. Cilvēki domā, ka zaudēt ir viegli, bet uzvarēt visu laiku ir cita veida spiediens.”

 

Errol SPENCE JR.

 

“Esmu labākais jaunais spēlētājs šajā spēlē. Es esmu uz pretendenta statusa robežas, un es uzskatu, ka esmu viena cīņa tālāk, lai es kļūtu par pretendentu.

 

“Es esmu mazliet sajaukts stila ziņā. Es esmu bokseris, Es varu iesist un varu cīnīties, ja vajag.

 

“Cīņa, no kuras visvairāk iemācījos, bija ar Emanuelu Lartiju, viņš nebija uzvarēts kopā ar mani, un tā bija mana pirmā īstā cīņa un pirmā reize, kad devos distancē.

 

“Es redzu sevi cīnāmies ar visiem vidējā svara divīzijas labākajiem puišiem. Es redzu sevi kopā ar Kītu Tūrmenu, Amirs Khans un jebkurš augstākā svara svars.

 

“Es izskatīšos labi kā vienmēr sestdien nakts, Tas būs fantastiski, un es iziešu ar uzvaru.”

 

MARCUS BROWNE

 

“Es esmu tikai svētīts, ka man ir šī iespēja astoto reizi cīnīties Barclays centrā savu dzimto fanu priekšā.

 

“Man patīk uzstāties Bruklinā. Fani šeit ir fantastiski, un viņi zina, kad es nokļūšu ringā, viņi redzēs kaut ko īpašu.

 

“Man priekšā ir grūts pretinieks. Viņš ir pieredzējis, ļoti nīkulīgs cīnītājs, bet mēs esam ļoti smagi trenējušies, un es esmu gatavs uz visu, ko viņš ieguvis.

 

“Sestdiena būs brīnišķīga nakts komandai Browne, Statenas sala un visi mani fani. Nemirkšķiniet, jo jūs to varētu palaist garām!”

 

Luis Collazo

 

“Esmu kādu laiku pavadījis kopā ar ģimeni, pārgrupēšanās un pārliecināšanās, ka man joprojām ir tāda pati aizraušanās ar šo sporta veidu. Es priecājos atgriezties, un es izmantoju iespēju atrasties šajā kartē.

 

“Tas ir tas, par ko es dzīvoju. Bokss ir mana dzīve.

 

“Pēc cīņas ar Khanu es paņēmu apmēram mēnesi brīvu laiku un tad devos tieši uz sporta zāli. Es nevarēju iziet ārā tāpat kā pret Khanu. Nav attaisnojumi, taču bija pienācis laiks atgriezties pie zīmēšanas dēļa un palikt motivētam visa gada garumā.

 

“Fani var sagaidīt to pašu satraukumu, ko es vienmēr sagādāju. Tagad esmu vairāk motivēts, un, cerams, ka pēc šīs cīņas es varu sākt lielu cīņu un dot faniem to, ko viņi vēlas.”

 

HEATHER HARDY

 

“Katrā cīņā man ir tāda pati domāšana. Es trenējos, lai cīnītos ar savu cīņu un veiktu pielāgojumus, kad tur iekāpju.

 

“Es jūtos spēcīga un jūtos spējīga uz visu, kas jādara.

 

“Boksēju tikai četrus gadus, tāpēc nometnē joprojām mācos daudz boksa tehniku, kā arī trīs vai četras dienas nedēļā strādāju kopā ar savu spēku un kondicionēšanas treneri.

 

“Fani var sagaidīt labu šovu un lielu uzvaru no manis sestdien.”
