SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® REPORTER JIM GRAY CALLS INDUCTION INTO INTERNATIONAL BOXING HALL OF FAME AN ‘UNLIKELY AND TREMENDOUS HONOR’

Veteran Reporter Joins Former Play-By-Play Announcer Steve Albert As Sixth From SHOWTIME Sports® Kopš 2012 To Be Presented With Boxing’s Highest Honor

NEW YORK (Jūnijs 11, 2018) – SHOWTIME Sports® veteran reporter Jim Gray was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame on Sunday in Canastota, N.Y., joining former colleague and longtime SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING play-by-play announcer Steve Albert in receiving boxing’s most prestigious honor.

 

 

 

Gray and Albert became the fifth and sixth SHOWTIME Sports talent enshrined in the Hall of Fame since 2012. They join boxing analyst Al Bernstein (2012), ring announcer Jimmy Lennon Jr. (2013), analyst and historian Steve Farhood (2017) and play-by-play announcer Barry Tompkins (2017).

 

 

 

In front of a large crowd that included close friends Mike Tyson, Don King, Deontay Wilder, Julius Irving, Jerry Richardson, Stedman Graham, Bob Costas and many others, the 59-year-old Southern California resident Gray reflected on 40-plus years of covering the sport of boxing. “My journey today has been an unlikely one,” Gray said during his induction speech. “The Boxing Hall of Fame immortalized all of these great fighters. So this magnificent honor comes with tremendous humility. How could this happen? I never took a punch.

 

 

 

Pelēks, who started with SHOWTIME in 1994, was honored with a Special Individual Achievement Emmy Award – he currently has 12 Emmy’s in total – in 1997 for his interview of Mike Tyson following the heavyweight’s second loss to Evander Holyfield, the infamous “bite fight.” The National Sportswriters and Sportscasters Association also named that interview theSports Broadcast Story of the Year.” Papildus, the American Sportscasters Association has voted GraySportscaster of the Year” uz 1998 and ‘99.

 

 

 

Gray chose Tyson to introduce him on Sunday during the induction ceremony. “It’s ironic,” said Gray. “The man who threatened to kill me in public is now inducting me into the Hall of Fame.

 

 

 

This award is way, way overdue,” an emotional Tyson said of his good friend. “I’m very proud of you. Well-deserved.

 

 

 

With this past weekend’s induction ceremony, SHOWTIME Sports now boasts five current Hall of Famers featured on the network: Pelēks, Bernstein, Farhood, Tompkins and Lennon Jr.

 

 

 

“I am so pleased for Jim and Steve that they received this great honor,” said David Dinkins Jr., Senior Vice President and Executive Producer of SHOWTIME Sports. “Jim Gray’s interviews and reporting have been an integral part of our SHOWTIME telecast from the beginning. Because of his skills and instincts we have been able to cover the events in depth. There have been countless times that Jim’s dogged pursuit of a story has enabled us to paint the complete picture of the event.”

 

 

 

Gray has forged one of the most memorable sports broadcasting careers in recent history, which includes a deep boxing resume. Gray has worked more than 1,200 fights and interviewed over 1,500 fighters throughout his career, ieskaitot 20 of his fellow Hall of Famers, such as Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, George Foreman and future Hall of Famer Floyd Mayweather Jr. and many others ringside.

 

 

 

Outside of the ring, Gray has covered nearly every sport and landed some of the industry’s most lucrative interviews, including sit-downs with Michael Phelps, Tiger Woods, Tom Brady and Michael Jordan.

 

 

 

Albert spent two decades calling fights for SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING. Albert called more than 300 fights during his tenure with SHOWTIME, including Julio Cesar Chavez vs. Greg Haugen in front of 130,000 fans at Azteca Stadium in Mexico City, Tyson-Holyfield I & II and the epic Corrales vs. Castillo series.

 

 

 

“Steve Albert’s incredible preparation and perfect timing were the reasons for his memorable fight calls,” Dinkins said. “Steve was the voice of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING through the high profile fights of the Tyson and Chavez eras. He will be forever linked to those shows which helped establish our network as a major broadcaster of boxing.”

 

 

 

Both Gray and Albert earned induction into the Observer category, which recognizes outstanding achievements of print and media journalists, publishers, rakstnieki, historians, photographers and artists.

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.

PBC NBC pamatturnīra cīņās Barclays centrā ir neuzvarēta superzvaigzne Danny “Ātrs” Garcia (29-0, 17 Kos) saskaras Lamont Peterson (33-2-1, 17 Kos) un vidējā svara čempionāta cīņa starp “Īrijas” Andy Lee (34-2, 24 Kos) un undefeated Peter “Kid Chocolate” Quillin (31-0, 22 Kos). Otrais maksājums MVK par NBC sākas 8:30 p.m. UN.

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 dieattitude 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 boxerscareers, but have relished in the role of becoming the home for Champions.

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.”

Check out what Garcia and his father and trainer Angel had to say trešdien.

 

Danny GARCIA

 

“Apmācība notiek labi, I’ve done everything I have to do and I’m still focused. It’s a week and a half until the fight and I’m ready to go. If the fight were rīt I’d be ready.

 

It’s a big fight and it’s the fight that the fans wanted. We’re going to give the fans a great night of boxing on NBC and it’s time the show the world that Danny Garcia is the star of NBC.

 

We have common opponents like Khan and Matthysse and we’ve had different results. They say styles make fights so those results don’t matter. Labi, my style is to kick his butt.

 

I know that this second PBC on NBC show is going to be even bigger and I just feel blessed to be a part of it and I can’t wait to go out there and showcase my skills.

 

I’m ready for whatever Peterson brings. If he tries to box then I’m going to go with that and if he wants to fight, I’ll be ready. I’m not going to go in and just try to knock his head off, I’m going to be Danny Garcia.

 

I’d love to be fighting on the biggest stage in boxing against the Mayweather and Pacquiaos, but for now it’s just about taking it one fight at a time, this is history in the making.

 

A lot of things have changed for me in the last few years, everybody knows me now. A lot of people look at you different now but it doesn’t make my head bigger, it just motivates me to work hard.

 

I love Brooklyn, it’s my fourth fight at Barclays Center and I’m looking to make it 4-0 par Aprīlis 11.

 

This is a blessing for the sport of boxing. Millions of fans haven’t had the opportunity to watch boxing on primetime in years and this is great for the sport.

 

ANGEL GARCIA

 

I’ll give Peterson credit for putting the gloves on. He thinks it’s going to be an easy night for him. He sees himself already on top of the mountain. It’s not going to happen like that, we’re going to ruin his party.

 

I want Peterson to act confident and come forward. They’re talking like Danny isn’t special but he lost to the guys we beat.

 

It doesn’t matter what anyone says as long as Danny is in here putting in 100 percent every day. It’s all about Aprīlis 11.

 

We’re not going to train for eight weeks to go in there and worry about what Peterson is going to do, we’re going to do what we have to do. We train to go in there and win on Aprīlis 11.”
