Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday from Dream Hotel Downtown in Manhattan:

 

DANNY GARCIA

 

 

 

“I know I’m the better all-around fighter. I can just do more in the ring than Shawn Porter, period. I’m going to prove it on Saturday.

 

 

 

“It means the world to me to get this belt back. This is a new chapter in my career. I’ve been in a lot of great fights. I’m a seasoned champion. This is a chance to regain something that was mine. This is one of the moments where I have to just go out there and prove myself.

 

 

 

“My style is totally different than Keith Thurman, so I hope Shawn isn’t going off of that fight. I know I’m a better boxer than Shawn Porter and I’m going to make sure everyone else knows it too.

 

 

 

“I absolutely want to unify with Errol Spence Jr. after I win. I want the biggest fights. This would be my fourth world title. All I’ve ever done is face everyone they put in front me and I’ve earned those huge fights.

 

 

 

“Det här är inget nytt för mig. I’ve performed at this level for a long time. I’ve put in the hard work. Come Saturday night I’m going to get this victory because I’m the better fighter and a true champion.

 

 

 

“I’m incredibly motivated, but I know that sometimes in life if you want something too much, you don’t get it. I’ve achieved a lot in this sport. This will just add more hardware to my collection.

 

 

 

“I didn’t take any punishment in the Thurman fight. I could have come back two months later. I know that I could have started earlier and been more relentless, but I’m just going to take that into this fight and make the best of it.”

 

SHAWN PORTER

 

 

 

“The way I’m going to win this fight will change the conversation at welterweight. You’re going to have to wonder whether Errol Spence Jr. and Terrence Crawford have what it takes to beat me. I’m here to put on a great show, win this title and do it in spectacular fashion

 

 

 

“I’m used to being the underdog. I’ve upset people before. I’m looking forward to doing what it takes to be that one to pull it off.

 

 

 

“Styles make fights. One way or another, I’m ready to do whatever it takes to win this fight. There’s nothing I’ve ever wanted in my entire life more than this. I’m out here to take it.

 

 

 

“Anything Danny is coming with, Jag tar det. It’s mine. Vad som än krävs, I will not be stopped on Saturday night.

 

 

 

“This means the world to me. This is my goal. I’m a goal-oriented person. I didn’t know when I was going to be fighting for this WBC title, I knew this was my time. This title has so much lineage and history to go along with it and I want to be a part of it.

 

 

 

“I’m setting the tone now for what Danny should expect from fight night. He’s had this before, but this is my goal and this world title is mine to take.

 

 

 

“Danny has to know that he’s getting in the ring with a bull. This isn’t going to be an easy 12 rundor. I’m going to make him earn every inch.”

 

JORDENIS UGAS

 

 

 

“It’s an honor to be a part of such a big card at Barclays Center. I’m going to do what I need to do. I’m going to put on a great performance, and the rest will take care of itself.

 

 

 

“I think I’ve been the most consistent fighter at welterweight for the last two years. If I take care of business on Saturday, a world title shot will be next.

 

 

 

“My opponent is going to try to make a big name for himself, but it’s my job to study him and make adjustments in the ring to get him out of there.”

 

CESAR BARRIONUEVO

 

 

 

“I’m very happy to be in this position. It’s going to be a great fight and it’s going to be my announcement to the U.S. I’m very ready to perform on that stage.

 

 

 

“I know that my power and my relentlessness will make this an exciting fight for the fans. I hope that Ugas is not underestimating me, because I want him to be at his very best.

 

 

 

“Fighting in Brooklyn is exciting. I could not be on a more exciting or perfect stage for this fight. Saturday will become the night that everyone remembers for my arrival.”

 

ADAM Kownacka

 

 

 

“After Saturday night, everybody will know my name. I’m the next great heavyweight here in America. I want to make my splash on the national scene.

 

 

 

“Last year against Artur Szpilka was an appetizer and this is my main course for really making myself known as a threat to everyone at heavyweight.

 

 

 

“I can’t wait to hear the Polish fans and see the red and white. It’s going to be another awesome atmosphere and I’m definitely coming to send those fans home happy.

 

 

 

“I feel like I’ve been getting better and better as I get more recognition. A world title fight is not that far in my future. I’m focused on beating Charles Martin first and letting my performance speak for itself.”

 

CHARLES MARTIN

 

 

 

“I’m going to go in there and put on a show. I’m going to get myself back to the position I want to be. That’s at the top of the heavyweight division.

 

 

 

“I’m in phenomenal shape. I’ve been working hard for two and a half months. We’re back to where we need to be and you’ll see it on Saturday.

 

 

 

“Training in the altitude in California is rough, but it’s great once you get here and feel great. That’s why you work so hard to get in shape, so you can be twice as good on fight night.

 

 

 

“There are a lot of great heavyweight out there. I’m glad that people are giving it the acclaim they deserve. I think all of those guys are beatable and I look forward for my chance to prove it.”

 

AMANDA SERRANO

 

 

 

“I’m so thankful to have this great opportunity to make history again. I’m going to put on a tremendous show like I always do and give my hometown fans something to cheer for.

 

 

 

“Come Saturday night, I’m super excited to grab this title in a sixth division. It puts me up there with two of the best fighters of all time in Oscar De La Hoya and Manny Pacquiao. I’ve won all of my titles by knockout and I have to keep that streak going on Saturday night.

 

 

 

“Winning this fight is everything. I hope that I’m doing something great for young Latinas coming up in the sport. I’m going to continue to break down these barriers and one day cement my legacy in the Hall of Fame.”

 

LOU DiBella, VD för DiBella Entertainment

 

 

 

“This is going to be a sensational show this Saturday night at Barclays Center. This is about as good as it gets. I’ve said that a number of times over recent years, and that’s a good thing. This is another show loaded with talent and has a sensational main event between two of the best fighters in the world, with styles that will mesh really well.

 

 

 

“Garcia vs. Porter is a can’t miss fight. The winner will establish themselves as one of the best in the welterweight division and all of boxing. There will really be no loser, because there’s no way this isn’t an action-packed clash that lifts up both men in the eyes of fans.

 

 

 

“There is really a terrific undercard on this show including amazing talent off of television. We always have a strong representation from Brooklyn and this show is no different with unbeaten rising prospects Chris Colbert, Richardson Hitchins and Chordale Booker. Mer, Brooklyn’s own Amanda Serrano looking to make history once again.”

 

CHRIS DEBLASIO, SVP Sports Communications, Showtime Networks Inc.

 

 

 

“We have established ourselves as an industry leader during an incredible time for boxing. We’ve delivered the largest slate of live boxing, with the best fighters in the most pivotal matchups. Our commitment will continue to be second to none.

 

 

 

“I 2018, we have delivered 26 live boxing events and 22 VM-titel slagsmål, far more than anyone else. It’s not just the quantity, but the quality. We’ve had several of the best fights of 2018 and have presented three world title unifications and four women’s world title fights so far.

 

 

 

“Saturday’s main event is a 50-50 matchup that everyone from Sugar Ray Leonard and Manny Pacquaio to Errol Spence Jr. and Keith Thurman have seen as an all-action fight where it’s hard to pick a winner. Danny and Shawn have been presented by our SHOWTIME team 20 gånger. We’ve seen them come of age, achieve stardom and even navigate setbacks. It all leads up to this fight on Saturday night.”

 

BRETT YORMARK, CEO of BSE Global

 

 

 

“It’s been six years since we’ve been in Brooklyn. We’ve hosted 260 ändarna, 46 title fights and on September 8, our 30th big night of BROOKLYN BOXING™. From the start we wanted to make a commitment to the sport and we’ve done that.

 

 

 

“Fights like Saturday help us standout from other venues in the marketplace. We have two of the best and brightest stars in the sport Saturday night and we can’t wait for them to enter the ring. We welcome back those who are returning to our ring such as Amanda Serrano, Adam Kownacki and Charles Martin, and we also welcome Ugas and Barrionuevo, for their first fights in Brooklyn.

 

 

 

“This is truly an exciting time for the entire sport of boxing. We’re going to continue to reach the masses and provide unprecedented support for our boxing events. Tickets are moving fast and it should be another electric night. That’s what BROOKLYN BOXING™ is all about.”

COLORADO SPRINGS, Lap. (September 6, 2018) – Living legend Roy Jones, Jr., universally recognized as one of the greatest pound-for-pound boxers of all-time, leads a celebrated quintet of Class of 2018 inductees into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame.

 

 

 

Den andra årliga USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame reception, hålls i samband med 2018 USA Boxing Elite och Ungdom nationella mästerskap och Junior och Prep Open, December 2-8, will be held Dec. 7, på Radisson Hotel (215 S. Temple St.) i Salk Lake City, Utah.

 

 

 

 

Förutom Jones, klassificera av 2018 also includes two U.S. Olympic gold medalists and world (professionell) mästare, Andre Ward och Claressa Shields, as well as former USA Boxing National Director of Coaching Emanuel Steward and veteran USA Boxing official Tom Cleary. The latter two will be posthumously inducted.

 

 

 

Stadgan klassen invald förra året ingår Muhammad Ali och Evander Holyfield, samt erfarna tränare Roosevelt Sanders och Tom Coulter.

 

 

 

“I am honored to be selected for induction into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame,” Jones commented, “especially as a member of this great class with my fellow inductees.

 

 

 

“Amateur boxing gave me the chance to learn life skills as well as face every other possible scenario inside of the ring.”

 

 

 

Jones, ironiskt, got into boxing at the age of 11 because of Ali. “I saw Ali vs. (Joe) Frazierand just felt as though Ali and I had the same mental concept on life,” Jones explained.

 

 

 

Jones went on to become one of the best amateur boxers in the world, compiling a reported 121-13 post, including gold medal performances at the 1984 National Junior Olympics and 1986 & 1987 National Golden Gloves Tournaments.

 

 

 

På 1988 Olympics in Seoul, Sydkorea, Jones reached the championship final of the light middleweight division against Park Si-Hun, of South Korea. Jones suffered arguably the worst decision in boxing history, losing 3-2, despite outpunching his opponent, 86 till 32 landed punches, and he was forced to settle for a silver medal. Even his opponent admitted that Jones won their fight, leading the AIBA to later suspend the three judges who selected the hometown fighter as the winner.

 

 

 

How disgraceful was this decision? Jones was selected as the Val Barker Trophy winner as the best boxer of the 1988 Olympics and, due to controversy, the scoring system for Olympic boxing was changed, replacing the 20-point must system with electronic scoring.

 

 

 

“I was angered,” Jones admitted, “yet promoted to prove that I was the best fighter there, and in the world, at that time.”

 

 

 

Jones made his professional debut May 6, 1989, at home in Pensacola, Florida, in a scheduled eight-round bout, in which RJJ stopped Ricky Randall i den andra omgången. His long, glorious journey has produced a remarkable 66-9 (47 Kos) pro record, highlighted by nine major world titles in four different weight classes.

 

 

 

I 2003, Jones defeated John Ruiz by way of a 12-round unanimous decision to become the first former world middleweight champion to become world heavyweight title holder in more than a century.

 

 

 

The possessor of exceptional hand and foot speed, atletiska, movement and reflexes, Jones went undefeated through his first 34 pro slagsmål, 22-3 (14) i världs titel slagsmål. Against former, present or future world champions, Jones was 19-9 (8 Kos) and included among his victims were greats such as Bernard Hopkins, James Toney, Mike McCallum,Vinnie Pazienza, Virgil Hill, Antonio Tarver och Felix Trinidad.

 

 

 

Idag, the 49-year-old Jones, technically speaking, is still an active fighter. He also has two promotional companies and gyms, located in Pensacola and Las Vegas, trains several pro boxers and serves as a color commentator for HBO Boxing. He recently opened gyms in South Africa.

 

 

 

For the past two years, Jones has hosted the “Future Stars of Boxing Tournament” i Las Vegas, showcasing some of the best amateur boxers in the world.

 

 

 

“Hosting the tournament in Las Vegas gives me the opportunity to give back to amateur boxing,” Jones explained. “It’s a great experience for the boxers and it reminds them that who they may have or still look up to, are watching them as well.”

His spectacular talent, dedication to his craft, and infectious personality make him a no-brainer to headline this year’s Hall of Fame class.

Russian Contenders Salamov, Idigov and Davtaev Score Impressive Victories in Grozny

Lämna en kommentar

All three of Salita Promotions’ Russia-based contenders, light heavyweight Umar Salamov, super middleweight Aslambek “The Hulk” Idigov and heavyweight Apti Davtaev scored impressive victories in Russia today.

 

 

 

Fighting in the main event at the Grozny City Hotel in Grozny, and live in Russia on Match TV, IBF #11- and WBO #15-rated Umar Salamov moved to 22-1, 17 KOs with a two-round KO over Denis Liebau (23-3, 21 Kos) of Frankfurt Germany.

 

 

 

Fighting for the WBO International Light Heavyweight Championship, Salamov came out firing in round two, landing a perfect left hook to the body that dropped Liebau for the count. The official time was 2:15.

 

 

 

WBO #14-rated super middleweight Aslambek Idigov (14-0, 6 Kos) destroyed former African champion Daniel Wanyonyi (27-13-2, 22 Kos) of Kenya in two brutal rounds. Idigov dropped Wanyonyi three times with a series of brutal right hands. The fight was waved off at 2:32. Idigov is now the WBO Asia Pacific Super Middleweight Champion.

 

 

 

Heavyweight crusher Apti Davtaev (16-0-1, 15 Kos) took out the Ukraine’s Evgeny German Skobenko in six dominant rounds. A serious prospect in the big man’s division, Davtaev was way too powerful for the normally capable Skobenko, pushing him around until the fateful round, where a solid mix of unanswered shots brought an end at 2:40.

 

 

 

“All three fighters did their jobs well today,” said their co-promoter, Dmitriy Salita. “They are all future champions and they looked the part today against respectable opponents. I am proud of all them. The work they have been doing at Kronk Gym is really showing through in their dominant performances.”

Welterweight Legends, Champions & Utmanare förutsäger Danny Garcia vs. Shawn Porter Welterweight World Title Showdown

Lämna en kommentar
Sugar Ray Leonard, Errol Spence Jr., Keith Thurman, Manny Pacquiao & Mer Diskutera lördag, September 8 Matchup Live på SHOWTIME från Barclays Center i Brooklyn & Presenteras av Premier Boxing Champions

BROOKLYN (September 5, 2018) – Tidigaste välterviktsstjärnor, nutid och framtid har vägt in med sina tankar om den efterlängtade matchupen som skapar tidigare välviktmästare Danny Garcia och Shawn Porter mot varandra för den lediga WBC Welterweight World Title Saturday, September 8 i huvudevenemanget live på SHOWTIME från Barclays Center, hemmet till BROOKLYN BOXING ™.

 

 

 

Showtime Championship Boxing telecast börjar vid 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT och har en välviktstitel eliminator mellan Kubas Yordenis Ugás och Argentinas Cesar Barrionuevo och tungviktiga åtgärder som släpper obeslagen polsk slugger Adam Kownacki mot tidigare tungviktmästare Charles Martin.

Grupprabatter finns genom att ringa 844-BKLYN-GP.

 

 

 

Här är vad en grupp nuvarande och tidigare välterviktkämpar hade att säga om Garcia vs. Porter världstitel showdown:

 

Sugar Ray Leonard, Hall of Famer & Tidigare Unified Welterweight World Champion

 

 

 

“Jag känner att Danny Garcia vs. Shawn Porter-kampen har en spännande kamp från vad jag har sett för båda dessa begåvade kämparna. Så här är min förutsägelse baserad på vad jag känner båda kämparna sätter in i ringen

 

 

 

Garcia vinner om han använder sin jab för att hålla Porter i avstånd och utanför balans, men Porter får en seger om han kopplar ihop och skadar Garcia tidigt och får honom att överge sin boxningsförmåga och slåss som en slugger — som jag gjorde med min första kamp mot Roberto Duran.

 

 

 

Så här ser jag denna matchup som borde vara en spännande kamp!”

 

ERROL SPENCE JR., Oslagna världsmästare i Welterweight

 

 

 

“Jag vill definitivt slåss mot vinnaren av Danny Garcia vs. Shawn Porter. Det är en nära kamp. Jag har alltid valt mot Danny Garcia tidigare, och han bevisade mig alltid fel. Shawn Porter är alltid en tuff kamp, eftersom han kommer att komma fram och ge allt. Han försöker i princip rånga dig. Men för denna kamp, det är svårt att gå mot Danny Garcia. Jag väljer Danny Garcia för att vinna ett splittrat beslut.”

 

KEITH THURMAN, WBA Welterweight Världsmästare; Tidigare Unified Champion

 

 

 

“Jag älskar ärligt denna kamp, och jag anser att det är en enorm kamp och en av årets bästa matchups. För mig, efter att ha kämpat båda, Jag tror att var och en är kapabel att skada varandra och få varandra därifrån.

 

 

 

“Jag vet att de flesta fans kommer att luta sig mot Danny Garcia med hans knockout-kraft och potentialen för det. Sedan finns Shawn, som har en anständig stans, även om han fokuserar på sin produktion mer än hans enstans solida slag och har det i sitt arsenal att skada Danny Garcia.

 

 

“Jag skulle inte satsa på att Shawn skulle få utslaget, men jag skulle på Shawn få segern, helt enkelt på grund av hans produktion. Jag tror att Danys enda chans att vinna är genom knockout, men även som spelande man, Jag kan inte lägga mina pengar på att Danny får det. Jag tar Shawn Porter efter beslut.”

 

MANNY PACQUIAO, Flera gånger Welterweight världsmästare

 

 

 

“Jag kommer att ge fördelen till Danny Garcia. De är båda skitna kämpar, men jag tror att Garcia är lite mer teknisk med lite mer ringgeneralskap. Det borde vara en stor kamp, och det finns en möjlighet för mig att slåss mot vinnaren, men vi måste se vad som händer.”

 

MIKEY GARCIA, Fyra-divisionsvärldsmästare

 

 

 

“Jag tycker att det här är en mycket bra matchup. Shawn Porter är den typen av idrottare som alltid tar kampen till dig med tryck och volym stansning. De kommer båda för att slåss och de kan båda ta det och diska ut det.

 

 

 

“Danny Garcia kan använda sina färdigheter för att boxas på utsidan och arbeta på avstånd. Jag tror att Danny kommer att kunna boxas lite mer och vinna fler av de snäva omgångarna i en mycket nära kamp. Jag är inte säker på om det kommer att vara ett splittrat beslut eller ett enhälligt beslut. Jag tror att Danny kommer att använda fler av dessa taktiker för att vinna ett spännande beslut.”

 

JORDENIS UGAS, Top Welterweight Contender

 

 

 

“Jag har mycket respekt för Shawn Porter, och jag tror att det kommer att bli en bra kamp men, Danny Garcia har mer teknik och han har också mött och slått bättre motståndare än Porter. Jag lutar mig mot Danny Garcia för att dra segern.”

 

ROBERT GUERRERO, Tidigare världsmästare i flera divisioner

 

 

 

“Detta kommer att bli en mycket underhållande kamp för fansen. Jag kan se Danny ta en bra kamp, men Porter kommer att göra kampen grov, och Garcia gillar inte den typen av slagsmål. Jag går med Porter för att vinna med delat beslut.”

 

VICTOR ORTIZ, Tidigare Welterweight världsmästare

 

 

 

“Jag tror att det kommer att bli en fartfylld kamp. Shawn kommer att driva framåt, gör det grovt för Danny, och Danny kommer att försöka kontrollera avståndet. Jag går med Danny, ger honom den lilla fördelen och säger att han vinner genom ett beslut.”

 

JAMAL JAMES, Weltervikt Conte

 

 

 

“Det är bra. Shawn är livligare än Danny, mer aktiv och bär mycket fart när han slåss. Men det är inte alltid bra eftersom Garcia har makten med sin timing, han kanske kan fånga Porter som kommer in. Jag tänker att Shawn Porter drar av den. ”

 

BRANDON RIOS, Tidigare världsmästaren & Welterweight Titel Challenger

 

 

 

“Det är en riktigt tuff kamp att förutsäga. Om Danny kan motverka riktigt bra och hålla Shawn Porter borta från honom medan Porter kommer in, då ser jag Danny stoppa honom.

 

 

 

Men om Shawn Porter kan pressa Danny som han brukar göra, Jag ser inte Shawn Porter stoppa Danny, eller vad som helst, men jag ser honom vinna med splitbeslut om han kan vara i bröstet hela natten. Men om Porter blir spikad med en av dessa vänstra krokar eller en rak höger hand, Jag säger att Porter går ner. Jag ska gå med Danny för att han slog ut mig.”

 

BRYANT PERRELLA, Weltervikt Prospect

 

 

 

“Det kan komma till hur bra Shawn Porter kan ta Danny Garcias slag i en kamp som verkligen är svår att förutsäga, och hur bra Danny kan röra sig, med tanke på att han inte är känd för att ha snabba fötter som liknar en kille som Keith Thurman.

 

 

 

Men om Shawn kan komma nära och kväva Danys slag, han kommer att göra det till en svår kamp. Men Danny har riktigt tunga händer och sitter bra på sina skott, timing och motslagning killar, så Porter kunde spela i sina händer.

 

 

 

Baserat på ren, effektiva hårda skott och ger honom kanten i slutet, tävlingsrundor, Jag lutar mig mot Danny Garcia. Shawn är tuff som naglar, så jag ser att det går avståndet, men bara den lilla kanten till Danny.”

 

SAMMY VASQUEZ JR., Weltervikt Conte

 

 

 

 

“Jag går med Shawn Porter. Inte med stopp, men Shawn skapar för mycket press och Danny Garcia kastar inte tillräckligt med stansar och hanterar inte tryck. Du såg det när han kämpade mot Guerrero, som inte såg så illa ut i den kampen.

 

 

 

“Danny kan vinna med knockout om han fångar Shawn med den kroken, men Shawn är en arbetshäst och han utövar mycket mer tryck än jag tror Danny någonsin har sett i en kamp. Shawn kanske inte är mottaglig för det om han inte har rätt huvudrörelse, men jag tror att han kommer att göra det.”
