LAMONT PETERSON
“Чувствам се страхотно. Вече съм близо до тегло. Щастлив съм и хранене до пет пъти на ден. Чувствам се силен и аз съм готов за тази битка.
“Аз трябва да гледам на това като наистина просто още една голяма борба. Когато сте на върха, се опитате да не се правят твърде много на всяка битка. Ние знаем за какво става въпрос. Знам, че когато аз го прости, това е, когато се представят най-добре.
“В момента тялото ми се чувства по-добре от всякога. Аз съм добре с всичко, което е отишло в лагера и мисля, че можете да я видите в тялото ми.
“Винаги съм обучен трудно, тъй като първия ден, когато дойдох тук като дете. Това е бил всели в мен, тъй като най-ранна възраст и това е ме носеше по време на кариерата ми.
“Всичко, което правя, е за D.C. Опитвам се да се получи колкото признание за тази област най-добрият начин мога. Това е, което всички ние се стремим в тази зала. Това е най-големият от тях, който е бил в графика за известно време и аз съм готов да го върне в къщи.
“Той получава по-лесно и по-лесни за повече шампионатни двубои съм в. Аз бях във форма за всички тях, Но определено се окаже натиск върху себе си, когато бях млад. Аз бях подобри всеки път, и сега имам чувството, че съм много в перфектното място в моята кариера.”
ANTHONY PETERSON
“Аз трябва да направи изявление. Никога не съм се чувстват комфортно с решение. Мисля, че това е нещо добро, защото имам да е специална под ярките светлини.
“Всеки знае, че обичам да ходя на тялото. Вие знаете, аз отивам да го накара да работи, така че можете да се грижа за мен, за да пробие противника ми надолу по Януари 20.
“Аз съм бил спаринг с разнообразие от опитни бойци през последната година и те са ми помогна, дори когато не съм имал бой. Пръстен ръжда е умствена. Това е до вас да се сложи на работата в.
“Аз не съм намерила боевете, които искам, но аз винаги ще се придържаме към играта си и да се придържат към моя занаят. Знам, че ако постоянстваме, нещата ще работят за мен.
“Знам, че аз обичам този спорт. Знам, че в крайна сметка ще бъде световен шампион. Аз вярвам в бъдещето ми и аз очаквам с нетърпение да се бори големи.
“Вдъхновяващо е да гледате Ламонт си свърши работата и да успее. Той ще победи Ерол Спенс, дори и ако хората не вярват в него. Мисля, че той ще се грижи за бизнес.”
BARRY HUNTER, Trainer Питърсън
“Той е бил продължават твърде дълго в лагер за тези момчета. Когато си мисля назад от това колко време сме били на това пътуване, Аз съм много горд от тях. Те бяха 9 и 10 когато за първи път влезе в салона.
“Ние не разполагаме с чудовището на тегло да се справят с борбата в полусредна категория. Ламонт е в чудесно място психически и физически. Очаквам с нетърпение да експлозивна битка.
“Когато се вгледате в борбата на Спенс-Brook, в началото на Брук имаше много успех. Надолу по отсечката Ерол наложи волята си и счупи Brook надолу. Знам, Ерол добре и съм го треньор. Той има силна воля. Той не е голям в една област, но той е добър в много области. Това е различен вид на човек, той е изправен пред. Сърцето е нещо Ламонт е много далече кратко на. Мисля, че това може да започнете тактическа, и след това да се превърне в една война.
“Моята работа е да отида там с част от план, но тя винаги е за корекции за нас. Каквото и Ерол носи на масата, ние ще го разбера и сложи всичко в движение.
“Това миналата седмица е много игрови план и подготовка за работа умствена. Много от бойците не тренира ума. Трябва да се обучават ума дори повече, отколкото тялото. Трябва да сме готови за всеки сценарий.
“Мисля, че ако Антъни отива там и си върши работата има няколко свободни титли на 140 паунда и това е песен за нас. Ние искаме да се получи каишка около кръста му и ние ще се изправи всеки, за да го получи.
“Ламонт, заедно с Антъни, Гари Ръсел Jr., Джарет Хърд и Gervonta Дейвис, са задържате по бокс в тази област в продължение на дълъг период от време. Това ще бъде огромен, за да донесе това заглавие дома. Има много на младите Ламонт Petersons в тази област, които искат да достигнат това ниво. Би било фар на светило, което свети надолу и показване на тези хора на пътя.”

Ето какво Спенс и неговия треньор, Дерик Джеймс, трябваше да се каже Вторник от R&R Boxing Club в Далас:
Ерол Спенс JR.
“Всеки, който е видял мен се бори, преди да знае, че няма да е скучно борба. Дори ако това е едностранна, тя винаги ще бъде опакован действие. Януари 20 ще бъде огромна битка и аз отивам да се облича с голяма производителност. Аз съм планирал да доминира.
“Защитаващият титлата си в Бруклин ще бъде специален. Имам семейство в Ню Йорк също така това означава много, че аз ще бъда в състояние да се защитава на Barclays Center. Ню Йорк е град бокса, така че те наистина оценявам шампиони и знаят спорта.
“Развълнуван съм, че се бори човек като Ламонт Питърсън. Аз не водя редовен не-име боец. Той ще донесе най-доброто от мен, защото той е истински боец. Това прави цялото преживяване още по-добре.
“На първо място в този спорт е наистина за грайфери сега и аз идвам за него. Не ми пука кой съм трябва да се изправи, или когато, Отивам да бъде последният оцелял. Ето защо ние всички да влязат в този спорт. Аз съм изключително уверен в себе си.
“Ламонт и двамата са с големи сърца и аз мисля, че всеки ще може да се види, че на ринга. И двамата сме интелигентни бойци, това може да има някакво чувство, преди ние да тръгваме. Но аз очаквам тя да бъде ръкопашен бой.
“Тази общност в Далас е много важно за мен. Когато бях
расте тук не е имало професионални боксьори от тук, че мога да изглеждам като модел за подражание. След като имате ресурси, за да се даде назад, това е важно да го направя. Обичам да съм в залата и помага на много млади момчета и им се даде нещо, което да се стреми.”
Дерик JAMES, Треньор на Спенс
“Ерол изглежда наистина добре в тренировките. Той има голям фокус. Той е много подробно ориентирани и набра по същество най-добрата версия на себе си. Определянето на лицето му ми позволи да разбера, че той иска да положат максимални и се уверете, че всичко върви пътя си по въпросите на борбата нощ. Ние спечели борбата в залата не на ринга.
“Ерол трябва да поддържа този манталитет да навлизаме в тази борба и отвъд, и той знае, че. Спечелването на един дял, не това, което той иска, е. Той иска да бъде безспорен шампион полусредна категория. Той е много целенасочена и аз вярвам, че ще достигнем тази цел. Той не взема не за отговор. Той ще може да се повдигне до краен предел и да постигнете целите си.
“Lamont Peterson е много остроумен и интелигентен в пръстена. Той е корав тип твърде. Той носи, че умствената сила на духа, който трябва да бъде успешна. Ние трябва да се идва в тази борба 100 процента и да се фокусира през цялото време. Ако не го направим, ние може да излезе кратко.
“Аз трябва да бъде най-добрата версия на себе си твърде. Опитвам се да се получи по-добре и по-добре всяка битка и всеки ден във фитнеса. Знам, че трябва да бъде на върха на всичко, което може да се случи. Бари Хънтър е труден, интелигентен треньор, който носи много на масата. Ламонт има страхотен отбор. За мен е удоволствие и чест да ги изправят на ринга.”

Ето какво изтребителите трябваше да каже за тяхното януари 20 Matchups и повече:
РОБЪРТ ВЕЛИКДЕН (20-0, 14 Нокаута) – Осъществяване трета защита на IBF Лек за световната титла
“Тази борба определено може да даде добър тон за мен в 2018. Отивам да се направи изявление, с тази борба. Последните ми три битки не са придобили нокаут. Отивам да даде на моите фенове и да се борят фенове добро шоу.
“Отивам да се използват възможностите ми и дължина и да унищожи този човек отвън. През целия си кариера съм се бори по-кратки момчета. Всеки кратко човек не се бори същото. Но можете да получите на ринга и да ви го да се чувства навън и да направи корекции.
“Няма нищо по-специално, че аз трябва да се подготви за с Фортуна. Взимам всеки се бори същото. Всеки боец ​​се бори различен, така че можете да получите там, чувствам го навън и да направи корекции, като отидеш заедно. Аз не съм притеснен за него, че е левичар. Аз бях изправен пред много левичари в кариерата си и в аматьорите. Ето никакви проблеми.
“Мисля, че това, което ме кара да се по-опасен боксьор в тази борба е с височината, което правя, и мощността на пробиване и скоростта и начина на мислене, както и. Моето мислене е, че аз няма там, за да си поиграете с него. Аз съм готов да унищожи.
“Моите цели за 2018 са да улови повече заглавия и да се пристъпи обединение. Имахме няколко шампиони в тегловен клас, но изглежда, че никой не е готов да се бори с другите шампиони. Ние сме готови да направят каквото е необходимо,, борим всеки, който има заглавията. Ние сме готови да улови всички тези титли, когато другите момчета са готови да се запишете за боевете.”
JAVIER FORTUNA (33-1-1, 23 Нокаута) – Бившият световен шампион супер перо
“Моята подготовка за тази борба върви много добре. Работя в Доминиканската република, но аз съм се върне в Бостън, за да продължи обучението ми. В момента ние сме най- 75% и затваряше 100%. Ще бъдат напълно подготвени, когато е време да се бори. Моята подготовка и моята стратегия мен по-опасно човек да направи.
“Виждам това като никой друг бой, че аз съм имал преди, защото всеки противник е различен. Всеки човек има свой ниша на това ниво, нещо, което работи за тях. Неговата ниша е, че той е висок. Той използва това в своя полза. Но това е нищо, че не мога да се преодолее. Аз бях борил високи момчета, преди да.
“Аз предпочитам моите опоненти да бъде по-висок. Той играе в това, което аз съм в състояние да направи. Никога не съм имал проблем с по-високи опоненти. Авенир Кото (5-10) е един от високите момчета, че се бориха. Борих се в Чикаго и се облича с голяма производителност. (Фортуна отбелязал 5тата рунд срещу Кото)
“Моята цел за 2018 е да се бори срещу всички топ елитни бойци в моя клас тегло, и аз се опитвам да се превърне споменава като един от най-добрите в този спорт. Аз наистина искам да спечеля още една световна титла в различен клас на тегло. Това ще бъде най-големият момент досега в кариерата ми, за да получите друга световна титла.”
MARCUS BROWNE (20-0, 15 Нокаута) – Връх 10 класираха най- 175 паунда. (WBC, WBO, WBA & IBF)
“Опонентът ми (Francy Ntetu, 17-1, 4 Нокаута) Прилича на траен, юначага. Виждам тази борба е много вълнуващо за феновете, за толкова дълго, колкото трае. Видях малко тиксо върху него. Знам, че той винаги идва в връх-топ форма, и чувам, че е последователен в представянето му на ринга. I just know I’m going to have to be sharp on Jan. 20.
“Той винаги е чест да се бори тук у дома и на Barclays Center. Това е специален, за да може да се извърши пред тези фенове и аз не мога да чакам да се облича едно добро представяне, довели до Спенс срещу. Питърсън бой.
“Тази битка може да ме постави в позицията, че трябва да бъде в да се борят за световната титла. Не мога да липсва по някакъв начин. Аз трябва да излезе силен с голяма производителност от начало до край и да не оставя никакво съмнение, там.
“За 2018, Искам да стана световен шампион. Решен съм експресни това да се случи през тази година. That vision starts on Jan. 20 at Barclays Center against Francy Ntetu.
Francy NTETU (17-1, 4 Нокаута) – Воюва Дейвид Бенавидес в Barclays Center през юни 2015
I know Marcus Browne is probably taking me lightly and thinks he will simply go through me. Надявам се, че това е така, защото тя ще бъде шок за него, феновете и екипа му, когато се вземат мястото си на опашката за титла. Искам да се изправи Елейдер Алварес в нашия роден град Монреал, след като получи тази победа.
“Моята предишна битка в Barclays Center срещу сегашното WBC шампион Дейвид Бенавидес очевидно беше много лошо решение на рефера да спре борбата, особено когато бях печели рунда и Бенавидес се забавя. Аз получавах по-силни, докато той отслабва.
“Никога не съм бил наранен и никога не е изпускан в бой. Искам Марк да се оспори и да видим дали той може да направи нещо, което никой друг не е. Развълнуван съм, че по време на битка от такъв мащаб. Marcus, че е време за нас, за да даде на феновете това, което те искат!”
ADAM Kownacka (16-0, 13 Нокаута) – Първоначално от Полша & биете от Brooklyn
“Тази борба ще бъде още една стъпка към превръщането шампион. Знам, че ще трябва да работим много усилено и да се докаже, че съм продължаване на изграждането на моя победа срещу Szpilka. От видеото, което съм виждал на Яго Kiladze (26-1, 18 Нокаута), той се движи много, така че ще бъде необходимо да се отреже на ринга. Каквото и да носи на пръстена, Ще има отговор за.
“Три поредни години вече съм бил борят през януари. Обичам да се започне годината силен. Жена ми и аз всъщност започна традицията на “Kownacki семеен” при полунощ on New Year’s Eve. Тъй като аз съм винаги готви за битка около Нова година, решихме може и да се забавляват, докато ние работим. Така, ще имаме някои приятели излизат и тече на няколко мили с нас из квартала по време на фойерверките. Това е забавно и помага да ме готов.
“В края на краищата, Търся да се превърне в най-добрите в тежката категория. Крайната цел за тази година е да стане световен шампион. Но първата стъпка е като Яго Kiladze много сериозно. I can’t look past Януари 20 в момента. Имам един труден противник, който ще отправи предизвикателство и ме направи по-добър боец ​​в дългосрочен план.”
Яго KILADZE, Трета битка, тъй като се движат до тежка категория разделение (2-0, 2 Нокаута)
I feel great and my training has been terrific. Треньорът ми е Фреди Роуч сега. Аз спаринг с (IBF шампион в) Мурат Gassiev три пъти напоследък, което е чудесно подготовка за мен. I believe I can knockout Kownacki but if I have to go the distance I’m prepared for that. Така или иначе, Ще бъде победител. Сигурен съм, чувствам, че съм по-опитен боец ​​и че ще се появи на ринга.
“Това е голяма борба за моята кариера и страхотен старт за 2018. I know that if I win this fight I’ll be that much closer to a world title opportunity.
“Моята цел е да бъде световен шампион в края на 2018. I want to continue improving and learning under Freddie and with his guidance I’m confident of success.

Ето какво участниците на пресконференцията трябваше да се каже, сряда:
Ерол Спенс JR.
You’re going to see the same Errol Spence that you’re used to. I can’t look ahead because I know how dangerous Lamont Peterson is. I’ve been in training camps with him and I know what he can do.
I’ve seen too many fighters look down the road and get beat before they get to the big fight. I have to be 100 percent focused and hungry. I’m fully dedicated to this fight.
Lamont can push me to even greater levels. I feel like he is a better fighter than Kell Brook and has even more heart than Kell Brook and he can bring out the best in me.
I think it’s going to start out as a boxing match, but as we go on, it’s going to be a dog fight. We both have big hearts. I’ve never known Lamont to turn down any fight. Not a lot of people wanted to fight me. The big names shied away from me but Lamont stood up and said he’d fight me. This is going to be a hard fight.
I used to watch Lamont and his brother Anthony Peterson before I ever met them. I like their styles, the way they throw body punches and the fundamentals that they learned from Barry Hunter.
I think I can be known as the best pound-for-pound in the sport, but I have to take it one fight at a time. I want to be the undisputed welterweight champion. That should be everyone’s ultimate goalto be the best fighter in the sport. But first I have a big test ahead of me Януари 20.
This is the business of the sport. I was a young guy when Lamont was giving me advice. Now we’ve gotten to this point. It really shows his longevity in the sport and how I’ve reached the ranks of being a top pro fighter.
Sparring with Lamont Peterson was really great work. Това беше учене опит. I was an amateur so I was going at a fast pace and Lamont was being patient, blocking and countering and picking his shots. He was fighting at a pro pace and I didn’t really understand it until I got farther into my career.
You’ve seen me and Lamont fight. We’re not in boring fights. We have fan-friendly styles and you’re going to get a really good fight. We have the mentality to really go after it and give it our all to get this win.
I want the best in this division to all fight each other. It’s time for everyone else to stand up and proclaim that they want to be great. That’s how we get this division to the peak. I don’t feel like waiting to fight the best. I want to prove myself.
LAMONT PETERSON
This is a world title fight and I’m thankful for that. I try not to make too much out of each fight. I just want to take it one fight at a time. I’ve done this for 13 years as a professional. All fights are the same. I’m going to go in there and take care of business.
As a top fighter, you’re obligated to take what comes on the table. Regardless of who it is. Това е бокс. It’s a sport and we’re competitors. We want to go in there and compete to see who’s the best. We’re going to treat it like business like we always do.
You already know when I fight, it’s a feeling out process to start, but in my head, Аз съм готов да отида. It’s going to get rough in the trenches and we’ll see who wants it more.
I knew six years ago when Errol was in my camp that we’d get to this point. I knew he would be a champion. През по-голямата част, I’ve seen him improve and progress throughout the pro ranks and I believe he’s going to keep getting better.
I don’t pay any attention to the outside noise. I respect everyone’s opinion. I just go out and train to do what I love to do. I do this because I love to box. I’m not here to get on a list. I truly love this sport.
I can’t worry about people thinking that Errol is the next star in this sport. I believe that, but I can’t worry about it. It is up to me and my team to come up with the right type of strategy and execute it.
I’m not too worried about figuring out his southpaw stance. I’ve been around long enough and encountered enough southpaws. I’m confident I’ll be able to handle it.
The size may seem like an advantage for Errol, but it’s up to me and my team to figure out the best way to negate it. I know who I am. Аз съм състезателен човек. Независимо от всичко, I’m going to come to win.
Дерик JAMES, Треньор на Спенс
We have a game plan in place. We’ll try to perfect everything leading up to this one. We’re working on making Errol a more complete fighter every time out. He’ll be better than he was when you saw him against Brook.
We’re looking for the perfect fight. It takes a great fighter to bring out the greatness in another great fighter. These guys are high caliber fighters and it’s about as good a matchup as you can have in the division.
These are two guys with the mentality to go after it. But they also have technical skill. This is going to be an old school fight between guys with real skills.
It’s one thing to do it, but it’s another to teach. I’ve really understood this sport since I became a trainer. Fighters are developed, not born. I’m going to keep working with these guys on the fundamentals so we can bring up the whole sport.
BARRY HUNTER, Trainer Питърсън
When I look at Errol Spence, I instantly fell in love with him because he reminded me of Lamont so much. They both have that dog mentality. I’ve always known he was a special fighter.
Lamont told me when he worked with Errol that he really liked the kid. He knew he would be a world champion. I had to remind myself that this is business. We have to fight our friends.
These are the two guys who are ready to fight anybody. The fight on Януари 20 is going to be one to remember. It’s a fan-friendly fight.
Errol Spence is the best fighter in the welterweight division. You have athletes that can fight and athletes who are fighters. Errol and Lamont are both. They have the skills and they have the ability to fight.
To be the best in the world, you have to fight the best in the world. All the greats have done it. In order to get back to the glory days, we need to put the best against the best. I have confidence in Lamont Peterson against anybody.
LOU DIBELLA, Президентът на DiBella Entertainment
There are very few fights you could make that are better in the welterweight division than this fight. It’s going to take place at the home of big-time boxing, here at Barclays Center in Brooklyn and live on SHOWTIME.
Errol Spence is one of the most talked about fighters in the sport. Some think he could be the best fighter in the world. He’s consistently said he only wants to fight the best and on Януари 20 he will be fighting another champion and another great welterweight. Lamont Peterson never backs down from a challenge and we know he’ll be ready for this fight on Януари 20.
This is a great event that continues the run of significant meaningful matchups on SHOWTIME. It’s been great quality programming. The fight cards have all been incredibly easy to promote because the fights have been so strong. You have to make fights with great fighters battling other great fighters. That’s what we need to energize our fans and our sport.
СТИВЪН Еспиноза, Executive VP & Генерален мениджър, Шоу Спорт
As we come to the end of 2017 we look back on what has been a really strong year. 25 nights of live boxing, 80 live boxing matches and 27 за световната титла на битки. Not just title fights, but world title fights featuring top ranked challengers against top ranked champions.
We’ve brought you the most watched fight of the year in Keith Thurman vs. Danny Garcia right here at Barclays Center on CBS. It was also the most watched primetime boxing match in nearly 20 години. But we will not be resting on our laurels.
We’ll kick off next year with an incredibly strong card. Errol Spence has grown up on SHOWTIME and we’re proud of that. He made his debut on ShoBox and won his world title on SHOWTIME. He has knocked out nine straight opponents and in his last five fights his opponents have an impressive record of 141-7-3.
Not a lot of fighters are rushing to fight Errol Spence. Lamont Peterson not only stepped up to the challenge, but he relinquished his welterweight title to take this fight. That’s the kind of fighter he is. He has one of the strongest resumes in the division and he’s fought the best guys in the sport.
We’re thrilled to kick off the year with this matchup. It’s another great fight in the welterweight division, a division we’ve been paying a lot of attention to for years. We’ll see you on Януари 20.”
BRETT YORMARK, CEO of Brooklyn Sports & Забавление
We’re coming off of an incredible 2017 for BROOKLYN BOXING. It far exceeded my expectations. We’re very committed to boxing, not just now, but in the future. This fight kicks off what I think will be a great 2018 for BROOKLYN BOXING.
Lamont was on the first ever PBC card at Barclays Center in 2015 and Brooklyn is happy to have you back. Errol was here in the spring of 2016 and we’ve had him as a fan several times, but we far prefer having you here in the ring.
Barclays Center is known for hosting 50-50 fights and this is no different. We’re thrilled to be holding this event here in Brooklyn. We look forward to seeing you on Януари 20.”

BROOKLYN (Октомври. 15, 2017) – WBA Super Welterweight World Champion Erislandy Lara knocked down previously unbeaten Terrell Gausha en route to a 12-round unanimous decision in the main event of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXINGСъбота on SHOWTIME at Barclays Center.
The Premier Boxing Champions event featured three world title fights in the stacked 154-pound division, a lineup including five fighters ranked in the top 10, and four in the top five.
The southpaw Lara used a precise jab to set up a sharp left hand in the sixth defense of his world title. The supreme technician, known for his elusiveness, put on a clinic as expected. He fought mostly in the pocket and picked apart the 2012 U.S. Olympian Gausha, a Cleveland native getting his first shot at a world title.
Lara landed 45 percent of his power shots and threw 200 more total punches in the bout that was scored 116-111 и 117-110 два пъти.
We want to give a lot of credit to Gausha. He’s an Olympian and he came to fight,” Lara said. “I take the rhythm of the boxing match and that’s when I take over. He’s fighting with the best in the division. He’s not a stupid fighter, but he knew who he was facing today.
I’m ready to box anyone that comes my way. I’m the best boxer at 154 pounds and I won’t shy away from anyone that wants to fight me. I’ll box whoever, just line them up. I’m not afraid. I have proven that I’m a true champion. I’ll fight (Jermell) Charlo if I have to. We are friends, but business is business.
One of the most anticipated fights of the year lasted only 2:41 seconds as WBC Super Welterweight World Champion Jermell Charlo knocked out Erickson Lubin with a brutal right uppercut to the chin in the opening round in the second of three 154-pound world title fights. VIDEO: HTTP://s.sho.com/2yoXIU6
While the matchup of young, undefeated Americans was regarded as one of boxing’s best fights in a year of marquee matchups, Jermell Charlo had other plans. After feeling each other out Charlo, the twin brother of undefeated former champion Jermall, unloaded a strong right uppercut that the highly touted Lubin leaned into. With Lubin struggling to return to his feet, referee Harvey Dock waived off the contest and helped a dazed Lubin return to his corner.
They were giving him a lot of attention,” a fired up Lubin told SHOWTIME Sports reporter Jim Gray. “I was quiet the whole time. They said they were going to come take my title. I had to defend it. They didn’t know what I was brining into this and I think (Lubin) was worried about the wrong things.
We’re going to unify. The other champions want to fight me and I’ll take any of them. Give me another title. I want Hurd. Hurd just won. Give me Hurd.
The 22-year-old Lubin, boxing’s consensus 2016 prospect of the year, had his hopes of becoming the second youngest titlist in boxing dashed in less than three minutes.
I’m fine. He caught me with a blind shot. I didn’t see it coming. He landed it. I felt like when I got up I could have kept fighting, но това е по бокс. It happens.
I’m young and I’m hungry. I know I’m one of the best out there. He caught me with a blind shot that I didn’t see. Както казах, it’s boxing. I’m just going to remain hungry, get back in the gym and become the champion I know I am.
I’m young and have plenty of fight left in me. This is just a minor setback. I’ll be back sooner than later and hungrier than ever.
IBF Junior Middleweight World Champion Jarrett Hurd became the first person to stop veteran former champion Austin Trout with a 10тата round technical knockout in the first defense of his world title in the opening bout of the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast.
The 27-year-old Hurd did what Miguel Cotto, Canelo Alvarez, Erislandy Lara and Jermall Charlo could not after the ringside doctor stepped in to stop the bout following a brutal closing 20 секунди от 10тата frame.
The Accokeek, Md., native often neglected defense in the early rounds and fought back after a slow start to wear down the toughest opponent of his career. The championship affair shifted in the sixth as Trout tired and Hurd picked up his output of power shots despite a bloody cut over his left eye. Trout was practically saved by the bell in the 10татаround and trainer Louie Burke did not protest as he was advised that the fight should be stopped.
It’s most definitely tougher to defend the title than win it,” Hurd said. “I’m always the one that comes on stronger at the end of the fight. We knew we were going to wear Austin Trout down in the later rounds and eventually stop him. My cut made me a little better with my head movement.
Team Swift, we don’t run from anyone. I’m ready to unify. 2018 is the year for unifications. It doesn’t matter who it is. I’m ready to fight anyone.
Hurd had a 89-31 edge in power punches landed over the last three rounds and connected on 43 percent of his power shots over 10 кръга.
Trout was taken to Lutheran Hospital for observation after the bout.
Събота телевизията ще се преиграе на Понеделник, Октомври. 16 при 10 p.m. И/PT на SHOWTIME EXTREME и ще бъде на разположение на SHOWTIME по поръчка® и SHOWTIME ВСЯКО ВРЕМЕ®.

Here’s what the fighters had to say on Thursday:
ERISLANDY LARA
“На Oct.14, I will show why I’m the No. 1 fighter in the division.
Just another day at work; another day at the office for me. I have to do what I have to do and be a smart boxer to win this fight. I’m going to have to show a little bit of everything: show my boxing, and show my power. He will see a little bit of everything в събота нощ.
Absolutely I want to unify. That’s what I’m here forto win all the belts. След тази битка, hopefully one of these young guns will step up to the plate and fight me.
I will show everybody I’m the best in the 154-pound division, and I’m here for a long time. It’s very important to bring this world title back to the people of Houston. There’s been a lot of tragedy in Houston, and I hope with this win it brings just a little bit of joy to my fans and people going through a hard time.
Теръл GAUSHA
This is going to be my best performance to date and I look to be sharp and focused. I love the competition and the tough challenges, and I look to be at point в събота нощ.
It’s time for the young guys and Olympians like me, Errol Spence and Rau’Shee Warren to take over. It’s our time.
I’ve got a huge support system in Cleveland and my mom has a busload of people coming to see me. To have fans like that come and support you makes you want to dig down deep and get that win.
JERMELL Charlo
We had a strong camp with my sparring partners in Dallas. We know who’s below us. This young guy here [Lubin] has a big fight coming up. I already know what I have to do. They got to be the ones that try and figure out a game plan. Try and come up with a ‘Plan Bor ‘Plan A.You got a lot of hype man, a lot of people around you buzzing. They keep you going, they keep you rowdy. Това е добре. We clap too, we love it. We enjoy it. Но Събота нощ, the fight that I thought should have been the main event of the card is going to be the one that steals the show. We did this before, we will do it again.
“Аз съм непобедим, той е непобеден. Regardless of if he has the same amount of fights that I have, той е гладен. He’s been running his mouth a lot lately. That has a lot to do with the reason why my team gets rowdy. We get rowdy and that’s the kind of energy we feed off of. When you continue to do what you do, I just got to back it up in the ring and I can’t worry about what my opponent says and what his team says, because nobody has to fight but us.
Let’s get in there and get comfortable in the ring. Hopefully I make him pay for the mistakes he’s making right now.
It’s so important for me to bring a world title back to Houston. I told my brother [Jermall] that I’m competing with one of his knockouts against an undefeated fighter. It’s not about the world title because my city needs it. My family needs it. My son loves it. Следователно, I’ve got my life on the line.
Ериксон Lubin
“Аз съм много развълнуван. Аз съм много уверен, I had a great training camp and I’m just ready to go в събота.
I hear it a lot, that I’m younger and he’s more experienced. It doesn’t really get to me, I know it is a huge step up because I’m fighting for the WBC title, not because of my opponent. I’ve seen everything in the ring. I’ve seen all types of fighters through training, fighting and through amateurs so this is definitely a big step up when it comes to me fighting for the WBC title.
This definitely should have been the main event, but you got an experienced guy like Lara in the main event, which I don’t complain about. I know I got to go in there and take care of business. We’re both young. I’m not even in my prime yet. I’m ready to capture this title and I’m hungrier than ever and I know he’s hungry. He’s fairly young and we’re both undefeated and we both have a huge entourage. We’re just backed up by a lot of people and we got hype behind us. We’re ready to see who’s the hype and who’s the real deal.
Orlando hasn’t had a champion in a very long time, or maybe never. This means everything. I’ll be a big, huge inspiration to Orlando. I am already a huge inspiration to Orlando. I can’t wait to bring it back to Orlando to give more people hope to go out there and do something positive.
ДЖАРЕТ ХЪРД
“Чувствам се страхотно. I’m right on weight. Както казах, this is the fight I’ve been waiting for and that I’ve wanted, so I’m ready to fight.
I really want to go out here and make a statement and be the first to stop Austin Trout and send him into retirement.
“Ето нещо, in my last four televised fights I’ve never possessed the same style. Austin Trout doesn’t know what style I’m coming out with in this fight. I never look the same in any of my fights so he can say that he prepared for a toe-to-toe matchup and that he prepared for me moving around, but he doesn’t know what I’m bringing to the table. I’ve got a couple tricks up my sleeve.
“[My height] is going to be a big factor because he’s going to try and move around and box from the outside, but I’m the taller, longer guy. So it’s going to be hard for him to stay on the outside, let alone stay on the inside, which he isn’t going to want to do either because I’m the bigger guy. It’s going to play a big factor and make it more difficult than he thinks.
They say it’s easier to become a champion than to defend a belt. Right now this is my chance to defend my title and bring it back home. I can’t wait to represent.
AUSTN TROUT
“Когато стане шампион в събота night I will continue to represent this game with class and dignity. I know this sounds like a campaign speech, but the beautiful part about it is that I don’t need your votes. I don’t need anyone to vote me in. I get to go in there and take it with my two hands. I have the faith that I can do it, but we all know faith without works is dead. But I’ve put in the work. So I have faith in the work behind me. My experience is just the icing on top to go in there and become the two-time world champion and stake the claim as the best 154-pounder in this game.
“Честно, I didn’t see a big frame up there, I just saw a tall guy. His shoulders look lean and his arms look lean. Either he’s sucking down for weight, or he’s just a little guy in a big, tall man’s body.
He’s right in saying the fight isn’t going to go the distance, but it’s funny because he’s not going to be the one doing the knocking out. You know this man isn’t going to last 12 кръга.
I’m going to drown this kid. We’re taking him into deep waters. He’s never been there. This is unchartered territory for him.
Two-time Trout. Харесва ми, че. I need that belt in order to solidify my legacy.
LOU DiBELLA, CEO of DiBella Entertainment
This is as good as it gets in boxing. We hope to have as many regular boxing fans in that room as we possibly can. You can get a great seat for the price of what you pay for a Pay-Per-View telecast. This quality of boxing has been emblematic of SHOWTIME’s boxing program in the last few years.
СТИВЪН Еспиноза, Executive Vice President/General Manager of SHOWTIME Sports
This event will be the 25тата boxing event at Barclays Center през последните пет години. I need to recognize Barclays Center and their staff because there are not that many venues supporting and contributing to this sport the way Barclays Center is. More than half of those shows have been on SHOWTIME as we’ve done 12, and two have been on CBS.
We’ve set a very high bar with those events. Fighters know and promoters knoweveryone knows that when you fight on SHOWTIME at Barclays Center it’s a big and exciting night in boxing.
Fight fans sometimes complain that having multiple belts or multiple champions is complicated and confusing. But in this division, не е. I’ll make it really simple: these guys up here are the best guys in the division. Това е. Who’s at No. 1 and who’s the best? I can’t tell you. But it’s one of these six guys. So this идва събота you will see the best in the division, and they’ll be fighting each other.

Бруклин Julian Sosa will enter the ring for a six-round welterweight attraction and Джордж арии of the Bronx will be fighting an eight-round heavyweight bout.
Here’s what the fighters had to say on Wednesday:
ERISLANDY LARA
I know that Gausha is a young undefeated Olympian who’s coming to take my title. But I don’t need to worry about him. I’ve got to worry about what I’m bringing into this fight.
I don’t choose my fights, but I’m going to clean out the whole 154-pound division. There are a lot of young fighters now, but I’m going to just clean it out and show that I’m the best here. The Canelo rematch is there. The Golovkin fight is out there. I have unfinished business that has to be settled. Canelo knows who the true winner of our fight was, and he doesn’t want to do that fight again.
There’s been a lot of catastrophes in the world lately in Houston, Puerto Rico and Florida. I’m fortunate that it only affected my training for three days so I was able to stay focused. I stayed at my house and I kept training.
I would love to move up to 160 and Canelo and Golovkin are the top guys. Но 154 is much deeper. Those are the two guys we want, but if we can’t get them then we have to stay at 154 and clean it out, както казах. There are just better fights at 154.
If you look at Canelo’s record there are three marks. There’s Mayweather, me and Golovkin. Great fighters fix the wrongs on their record, and Canelo and his team will have to do that sooner or later.
I don’t know what [Gausha] does well. Знам в събота he’s going to have to show me something or he’ll be in trouble. After six rounds, I will be totally dominating. Just like I’ve done in all my fights.
Теръл GAUSHA
I’m real confident that I walk away with the world title. I’m blessed as well as happy that [тази борба] is happening. Той е бил дълго време идва. Усилена работа се отплаща.
I have an interesting fighting style, I really can’t put my finger on it. I can make adjustments and I have that will to win, that hunger.
“[Being a top amateur] gives me a lot of confidence because there are a lot of styles that I’ve dealt with. There’s nothing that I haven’t really seen before. Having that experience, going to the Olympics, having all those people watching me, налягането – I’m made for the bright lights.
“[Lara] has a lot of experience. He’s crafty. I haven’t been in camp with the type of fighters he’s been in there with. That pressureI use it to my advantage. Когато спечеля, it’s going to be a big notch for me to show that I’m at the top of my division.
He’s the champion so I know that he knows what he’s up against. I feel like he’s trained real well. I’m looking for the best Erislandy Lara come fight night because I trained hard and I’m ready.
“[Преместването до 160] is definitely a possibility because I’m not a little 154-pounder. It’s taken a lot of sacrifices to make this weight but I did it right this time. I’m not struggling with the weight. Първи, I’m going to take care of 154.
Being two-time National Champ, going to the Olympics, fighting overseas, the pressure that came with making the Olympic team just built me for this moment.
This is not the first time that I’ve been the underdog. I know how to handle those situations. It’s not about what they think. It’s about what I know I can do. Of course they’re going to think that [he’s the favorite] because he’s been in there with guys like Paul Williams and Canelo [Alvarez]. I just haven’t had my chance to display my skills at that level yet, but I’m here now.
“Имал съм много битки, I can’t even count how many. I’ve been doing this since the age of 10. I look forward to these big fights. A lot of guys you fight don’t have the name, but Erislandy Lara has the name and the credentials. I’m looking forward to beating him come Събота нощ.”
JERMELL Charlo
It’s always great to fight at Barclays Center, but it’s just another arena and stepping stone for me.
This fight is going to do a lot for boxing, and this fight does a lot for this 154-pound division. There’s just so many positive things coming from this fight card, and hopefully everyone will come out and support it.
I’m the champion of the world and I’m trying to get the fights that I want. I’ve been avoided and a lot of fighters have been ducking me. There’s nothing we can do about that. This is a living for me, but it’s also a hobby and something that I love.
I own a home in Houston and California. My area wasn’t too jacked up [by the flooding]. And now you’ve got the wildfires in California. My prayers go out to all those affected. But it has brought Houston together, and we’re getting support from the NFL and NBA guys. And boxing has come together to help too.
None of the flooding affected my training camp because I train out of town. We had some trees knocked down, but that’s the least of my worries right now.
I think my fight is the one the people want to see [на картата]. My opponent is a young stud and he comes to win a world title. Is Lubin the best fighter I’ve faced? Аз съм 29-0 and I’ve fought a lot of great fighters. You can’t talk about what’s on paper and what’s not.
My style is unique in the ring and so is his. He has a high volume of punches, but that’s what we trained for. He’s expecting fireworks, I’m expecting explosions. So just don’t be surprised.
Ериксон Lubin
In these types of situations, I feel like I’ve got to keep my composure. There are a lot of cameras, a lot of lights, but I was born to do this. I’m keeping my composure but I’m going to let it all out Събота нощ.
We’re both going to go in there fully prepared. It’s all about who wants it more. I feel like there’s nobody in this division who wants it more than me. Just because he’s been sparring Errol Spence, that doesn’t mean a thing.
All my previous fights against the veterans and experienced fighters have prepared me for this one. I know how to adjust. Винаги идвам готов да се бия. I always come with fireworks. I’m definitely going to get my respect early.
My ability to adjust in the ring is definitely going to give [Charlo] problems. He probably thinks that I’m going to go in there and just box or maybe just bang. I can definitely mix it up and that’s going to give him a problem в събота нощ.
“[Charlo] moves pretty well but I don’t feel like that’s going to harm me. I trained for everything this camp. I’m ready to box. I’m ready to bang. I’m ready for any situation that he brings to me. I’m just ready to become the WBC Champion.
ДЖАРЕТ ХЪРД
I think this fight is more of a mind game than about physical strength.
This is a display of the top 154-pounders in the world. I asked for this fight because in order to be the best you have to beat the best. I feel like Austin Trout, even with three losses, is the top competition. A win would mean everything. I want to show that I’m much better than the others he’s fought.
This is my second time fighting in New York and everyone always shows me the love here, so it’s an honor.
I’ve always rooted for Austin in his fights, but this is business now. Това не е нищо лично, it’s just that he’s in the way right now.
I’m the taller fighter, I’m the longer fighter, and I’m the strongest fighter. I’m also the younger fighter, so those advantages will definitely be the keys Събота нощ.
He uses his jab well and he throws a great left to the body. He uses the ring well and he’s a veteran and he knows how to survive. He’s a crafty fighter, and knows how to win the rounds. But I don’t think that will be a factor because we are expecting it.
I’m coming to open the show and all the fans should expect fireworks.
AUSTN TROUT
I’m smarter than [Хърд], and I’m better than him. What else can he do? He’s no smarter or better than me. I have better footwork, better speed, better placement of shots. The only thing he has is his size, and he overpowers the smaller guys. But I’m not small. I’m just as strong, if not stronger than Hurd.
The fans can expect fireworks until my man goes down. I don’t think he can take my pressure for 10 или 12 кръга. I expect my arm to be raised in great fashion.
People have been overlooking me my whole career. Before I was just fighting to get noticed, then I got noticed. Now I’m fighting for respect. But I’m not worried about that.
I’ve done more after winning the belt than he’s done just getting the belt. No doubt I’m the best. There’s just no doubt the cream will rise to the top Събота нощ. Once I clean up at 154 паунда, there’s nowhere to go but north.
There’s been no talk about what’s next and if the winners [в събота] will fight the winners, but I don’t see why not. My goal is to get a belt Събота нощ, and then get the rest of them.
CINDY SERRANO
This is my first time fighting at Barclays and I’m honored to be fighting on such a prestigious stage.
I’ve been fighting for 15 years and when I started there were no females fighting. But I’m impressed with some of the women fighters out here now. There are some young ones that I hope stay around for a while because there is incentive and the pay will be there. So I’ll just keep on going after it until my time is up.
JULIAN SOSA
I’ve seen a few of his fights online. He’s a traditional Mexican fighter, so he brings a lot of pressure and a lot of angled shots to the head, to the body and uses his uppercut. I haven’t seen a lot of straight punches from him. Това е повече в мой стил. I’m more of a counter-puncher, boxer-puncher. When I’m in the ring with him I’ll see what he has, as far as his speed and his power.
My father was a former boxer and he’s been training me since day one. He’s always been by my side and he’s my role model and just so glad we get to share this moment together.
It’s surreal that this is my fourth time fighting at Barclays Center. It’s still shocking and humbling knowing that I can fight in big venues like this.
RICHARDSON HITCHINS
I know I’m young, but I think once I move up to six rounds my competition will step up. It’s a great card and I think Lara will win, and Lubin all the way. I see the Trout-Hurd fight as 50-50, but I would lean toward Hurd.
I don’t know anything about my opponent. In the amateurs all you know is the city. You’re fighting a guy from Philadelphia. Or a guy from Vegas. And how you fight is all based on where he’s from. Like if you fight a guy from [Калифорния] then he’s going to put on pressure. So I’ll be quick to adapt, and it doesn’t really matter who the guy is or what he brings.
I’m ready to start building my legacy.
GEORGE ARIAS
I’ve put in the work and I’m hoping the results are the same from my last few fights. I’ll be ready to exchange and do what I need to do to get the win.
I know my opponent has a good jab and he has a lot of experience and he’s strong. They could throw me in there with someone 0-70 and I’d give the same intensity as someone undefeated. Every fighter I face is a world champion in my eyes.
I predict a second round knockout. I’m always looking for the knockout, at least early on.

Here is how the fighters see the other the action going тази събота night in Brooklyn:
ERISLANDY LARA
“Charlo срещу. Lubin is really a great title fight between two tremendous fighters. Charlo is going to have his hands full with Lubin. I think Jermell is going to come out on top with a close, split-decision win.
Austin Trout is a great fighter, but I think that Jarrett Hurd is too young and too strong for him. That’s going to be another going to be a good fight but I’m picking Hurd by a unanimous decision.
Теръл GAUSHA
It’s really hard for me to predict these fights. All six of us are going to leave everything in the ring to seize this opportunity. Нека най-добрият човек спечели.
No matter who wins this fight, I want the other winners next. I’m extremely confident and my goal is to prove I’m the best in this division. That means I’m going to have to go through whoever else wins on this night.
JERMELL Charlo
Experience is going to be the key on October 14. The fighters who use their experiences to their advantage will prevail.
If Jarrett Hurd gets by Austin Trout, I definitely would fight him next. Unification is on my mind and I think that would be a fight a lot of people would want to see. We’ll see who is able to come out on top when we’re all in the ring.
Ериксон Lubin
I really think Hurd vs. Trout is a 50-50 борба. If Trout can box for 12-rounds and not get tired the way Tony Harrison did, I think he’ll win the fight. But if he slows down in the later rounds, I think Hurd will probably take over and stop him.
I’m expecting Lara to get the win. No disrespect to Gausha, I know he’s going to come hungry and try to take the title. But the skills and experience of Lara I think will make the difference.
ДЖАРЕТ ХЪРД
Gausha is going to have to keep a high pace and stay in Lara’s face all night, because you know that Lara is going to use the ring. In the end I think Lara is just on a different level than what Gausha has faced. I think Lara will win by decision.
“Charlo срещу. Lubin is really a 50-50 борба. Lubin is the faster and sharper fighter, but Charlo is more mature. I would have to lean towards Charlo on this one because he’s been on this stage and been in title fights before. We don’t really know what Lubin can do yet so I give Charlo the slight edge but it’s really close.
ОСТИН ПЪТЯ
This is really a great night of guys putting it all on the line in tough fights. I’m expecting these to be hard-fought and close bouts. You really can’t know who the winner is until the fight starts, so I think it’ll be exciting for the fans.
My focus is full on Jarrett Hurd. Boxing has tried to write me off but I’m not going anywhere. I’m a true warrior. I’m ready and if I can get that belt, I’m ready to face any of the other winners as soon as possible to prove that I’m the best.

Top 154-Pound World Champions & Contenders Hit New York Next Week Ahead of Saturday, Октомври 14 SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® Tripleheader from Barclays Center in Brooklyn

Fighters Share Their Thoughts & Experiences Fighting in New York Ahead of Premier Boxing Champions Event
BROOKLYN (Октомври 6, 2017) – Six of the top 154-pound world champions and contenders will look to put on a show for the fans in New York as they prepare to enter the ring for a SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING tripleheader Събота, Октомври 14 от Barclays Center, в дома на Бруклин Бокс®.
The Premier Boxing Champions event is headlined by Erislandy “Американската мечта” Laradefending against undefeated Теръл Gausha. Coverage on SHOWTIME begins at 10 p.m. И/7 p.m. PT and features hard-hitting unbeaten champion Jermell “Iron Man” Charlo taking on top contender Erickson “Чук” Lubin и “Swift” Джарет Хърд making his first title defense against tough former world champion Austin “No Doubt” Пъстърва.
Непобеждаван 2012 U.S. Olympian Gausha is the only fighter on the card who will be making his Barclays Center debut. Обаче, the Cleveland-native has fought once in New York before and looks forward to a return, this time on itsbiggest stage.
I’m absolutely thrilled to be able to fight at Barclays Center and add my name to the list of great fighters who have competed there,” said Gausha. “There’s something special about fighting in New York. The energy from the fans is really unique. I think I’m the perfect guy to come in and handle that pressure and have it elevate my game.
Gausha faces WBA Champion Erislandy Lara, who won a decision against Austin Trout in their 2013 title showdown at Barclays Center. Този път, Lara looks forward to taking advantage of his elevated role as the main event of this show.
My memories of fighting at Barclays Center were incredible,” Саид Lara. “I put on one of my best performances against a great champion in Austin Trout and I’m looking to be even better onОктомври 14. To be headlining in New York is incredibly special and important to me. There’s no better time to be at my very best than in front of these fans.
Both WBC Champion Jermell Charlo and WBC No. 1 contender Erickson Lubin delivered sensational knockouts to make their Barclays Center debuts in 2017. Charlo made his first world title defense in April by stopping Charles Hatley and wants nothing else but to take care of business when he returns to the squared circle at Barclays Center.
I’m honored to be fighting in Brooklyn,” Саид Charlo. “This is another exciting fight card like the last time I was here. I did what I had to do in April. I let my opponent run his mouth and then I took care of him. I’m going to let that happen again. I can’t wait for another opportunity to grow my fan base here in New York.
Lubin has the strongest connection to the city of the six fighters, as he has made his training camp in nearby Hackensack, Ню Джърси, and is frequently able to visit his mother, who is living in Queens. He delivered a one-punch knockout of Jorge Cota at Barclays Center in March on CBS to earn this title opportunity on Октомври 14.
My last fight was my first ever in New York as a pro or amateur, and it was a memorable one,” said Lubin. “I left the crowd satisfied and entertained them with my squat and hit him with an overhand to knock him out. New York is like my second home and I love it here.
I love visiting my mom in Queens and eating all the Haitian food she cooks, but I have to wait until after the fight to enjoy it. I’ve really embraced training up here though. We didn’t want to break camp at all. So we came up here for the press conference and were able to get in a workout that day. I’ll be a thousand percent ready once fight week rolls around.
For IBF Champion Jarrett Hurd and former champion Austin Trout, New York has been a place for career-defining moments. For Hurd, негов Март 2016 stoppage of Mexican Olympian Carlos Molina at Barclays Center buoyed him towards his world title shot and eventually championship triumph.
When I beat an Olympian like Carlos Molina, that was definitely when I first thought that I was a fighter who could win a world title and it proved I could compete against anybody,” Саид Хърд. “I think I picked up some fans in New York between that and beating the ‘Brooklyn Rocky’ Франк Galarza. New York always shows me love, so I feel it’s my duty to give them something to cheer about.
I’m excited to be in New York because it’s very close to my home in Maryland too. I’m organizing buses for my fans to come up and watch me so I’m expecting another great atmosphere on fight night.
Already a world champion, Trout had the opportunity to face future Hall of Famer Miguel Cotto in 2012 в Ню Йорк, and he was able to rise to the occasion that the stage demanded. He dominated Cotto over 12 rounds in his first start in New York and although he faltered in his return to New York against Lara, he remains fond of fighting in The Big Apple.
New York is always a great place to be,” каза Траут. “I had the biggest moment of my career in New York, but I want to make up for my last fight at Barclays Center, so fans can definitely expect fireworks on Октомври 14. Идвам да се бори.
My mother was born and raised in New York so I always look forward to the opportunity to compete here. My favorite thing to do is go to a Chinese restaurant on Avenue X after the fight with my family and I’m hoping to do that as a two-time world champion after this fight.
