Iată ce au avut de spus luptătorii miercuri de la City of Angels Boxing Gym:

 

ROBERT PASTE JR.

 

 

 

“Antrenamentul din Florida mi-a permis să scap de distragerile atenției și să mă concentrez doar asupra mea. Kevin Cunningham a rămas cu mine în fiecare zi. Ne-am concentrat pe abilitățile mele, folosind avantajele mele și vei vedea totul în iulie 28.

 

 

 

“Avem un plan de joc, dar suntem profesioniști acolo și amândoi știm că va trebui să facem ajustări pe măsură ce lupta continuă. Voi lupta cu lupta mea și voi lăsa totul în ring. Concentrarea mea este 100 la sută pe Mikey Garcia sâmbătă seara.

 

 

 

“La începutul carierei mele am luptat mult pe Coasta de Vest și prima mea luptă profesionistă a fost de fapt la STAPLES Center. Așa că sunt foarte încântat să mă întorc în fața unei mulțimi mari.

 

 

 

“Antrenorul Cunningham m-a pus să lucrez cu adevărat la abilitățile pe care nu le-am folosit atât de mult în luptele anterioare. M-a ajutat să pun la punct un plan de joc grozav care se concentrează pe avantajele pe care le am. El știe ce fel de lucruri le vor da probleme altor luptători.

 

 

 

“Luptele mari ca acestea sunt importante pentru mine. Campion versus campion vorbește cu voce tare despre cine suntem noi ca bărbați. Sunt cei mai buni doi bărbați care se luptă pentru a decide cine este cel mai bun din clasa de greutate.

 

 

 

“Visez la astfel de lupte de când eram mic. Este în sfârșit aici și voi arăta lumii ce este Robert Easter Jr. este cu adevărat făcut din.”

 

LUIS ORTIZ

 

 

 

“Mă simt grozav și sunt fericit să revin pe ring sâmbătă seara. Am trecut de pierderea după o zi sau două și m-am întors imediat în sală. Întotdeauna am știut că voi lupta din nou anul acesta, pentru că asta îmi place să fac.

 

 

 

“Sunt încântat să lupt la STAPLES Center și sunt recunoscător adversarului meu pentru că a acceptat provocarea. Vreau doar să-mi arăt abilitățile și să demonstrez din nou de ce sunt una dintre cele mai bune grele din lume.

 

 

 

“O să intru acolo sâmbătă și să-mi fac treaba. Sunt pregătit să am grijă de adversarul din fața mea, indiferent dacă este în prima rundă sau în runda a douăsprezecea. Va fi aceeași misiune pe care o am în fiecare luptă.”

 

RAZVAN COJANU

 

 

 

“Am lucrat în cantonamentul de antrenament și ne-am luptat cu o mulțime de tuguri pentru a ne pregăti pentru asta. Mă simt bine cu privire la strategia noastră și la forma în care mă aflu.

 

 

 

“Lupta mea împotriva (fost campion la categoria grea) Joseph Parker a fost o luptă interesantă. Am aflat că mă confruntam cu el doar cu două săptămâni înainte, așa că nu eram atât de pregătit pe cât mi-aș fi dorit să mă îndrept. Dar a fost o oportunitate pe care nu o puteam rata și am crezut în mine și am luptat până la capăt..

 

 

 

“Ortiz este un luptător puternic și o mare provocare. Aștept cu nerăbdare o altă luptă grea și să fac o performanță grozavă pentru fani.”

 

MARIO BARRIOS

 

 

 

“Am terminat cantonamentul în ultimele patru săptămâni în Bay Area cu Virgil Hunter și mă simt grozav. Am avut sparring fantastic și totul arată grozav înainte de noaptea luptei.

 

 

 

“Sunt încântat de această oportunitate. Am un foarte bun, adversar cu experiență în fața mea, iar eu vin în curtea lui. Am multe de câștigat venind în această luptă. Aceasta va fi o luptă foarte explozivă.

 

 

 

“Sunt gata să-mi arăt talentul și să dominem cu planul de joc pe care l-am creat. Suntem concentrați pe această luptă, dar caut să urc pe scară și să obțin o luptă pentru titlu sau un eliminator de titlu până la sfârșitul anului.”

 

JOSE ROMAN

 

 

 

“M-am antrenat foarte greu pentru această mare oportunitate pe care o am aici. A fost foarte interesant să aflu că voi fi pe SHOWTIME, mai ales într-un spectacol mare ca acesta, întitulat de o luptă pe care toată lumea vrea să o vadă. Acum pot să-mi arăt talentul în fața tuturor.

 

 

 

“Am avut un cantonament eficient. Am muncit din greu în fiecare zi și totul a decurs într-adevăr bine. Toată lumea vrea să fie în această poziție, dar nu toată lumea poate experimenta asta.

 

 

 

“Barrios are un palmares foarte bun și este foarte talentat. Este neînvins dintr-un motiv. Venim aici să câștigăm. Voi fi cel mai bun sâmbătă.”

 

KARLOS BALDERAS

 

 

 

“Când mi-am făcut debutul profesionist, am simțit că grăbesc lucrurile în ring și încerc să fac lucrurile prea repede. Acum, pe măsură ce voi avea mai multe lupte, voi putea să-mi iau timpul și să distrug acești luptători încetul cu încetul. Nu poți elimina pe toată lumea în primul tur.

 

 

 

“Am doar 22 de ani și mai am un drum lung de parcurs. Mai mult decât orice, trebuie doar să rămân răbdător pe tot parcursul meciului. Ne-am depus de lucru ca să știu ce am de făcut sâmbătă seara.

 

 

 

“Am luptat la STAPLES Center luna trecută, deci nu e nimic nou pentru mine. O să intru acolo și voi lupta cu lupta mea, fii destept si scoate-l de acolo. Facem lucrurile în modul corect și plănuim să fim aici pentru o vreme.”

CE: Cu câteva zile înaintea confruntării sale de unificare a titlului de 135 de lire cu Mikey Garcia (38-0, 30 KO), Campion mondial IBF la categoria ușoară Robert Paste Jr. (21-0, 14 KO) reflectă asupra drumului care a dus la cea mai importantă noapte a carierei sale într-o funcție video lansată astăzi de SHOWTIME Sports®.

Născut și crescut în Toledo, Ohio, Paștele a visat să realizeze într-o zi ceea ce tatăl său, de asemenea, un boxer profesionist, nu a fost niciodată în stare să realizeze: devenind campion mondial.

„Tatăl meu a avut o carieră scurtă și mi-am promis că îl voi face să trăiască câștigând un campionat mondial prin mine.,” a spus Paștele în vârstă de 27 de ani. „Câștigând un titlu mondial a fost o experiență care mi-a schimbat viața. Amândoi ne-am trăit visele în acel moment.”

Paști, care a făcut trei apărări de succes de când și-a câștigat titlul mondial într-un concurs interesant împotriva lui Richard Commey în 2016, a decis să facă mutarea pentru a conduce tabăra de antrenament cu Kevin Cunningham în West Palm Beach înainte de Sâmbătă unificarea nopții împotriva campionului WBC la categoria ușoară Garcia. Cunningham a lucrat cu foștii campioni mondiali Devon Alexander, Cory Spinks și Adrien Broner și recent l-au stimulat pe Gervonta Davis la un knock-out dominant al lui Jesus Cuellar.

„Mutarea în West Palm Springs m-a scos din zona mea de confort,” a spus Paștele. „Știam că Kevin Cunningham a avut o tabără puternică și că programul său nu are loc. Mă pot concentra cu adevărat pe box și pe mine.”

Acoperirea live a transmisiunii SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING începe la 10 p.m. ȘI/7 p.m. PT și prezintă, de asemenea, un slugger cubanez la categoria grea Luis Ortiz (28-1, 24 KO) revenind la acțiune pentru a se confrunta cu fostul concurent la titlul mondial Razvan Cojanu (16-3, 9 KO) și se deschide cu un concurent super-ușor neînvins Mario Barrios(21-0, 13 KO) luare pe lovire puternică Jose Roman (24-2-1, 16 KO) într-o confruntare de 10 runde.

Dedicated Perrella ready for biggest challenge of his career

BP1.jpg

 

 

 

Fort Myers, FL (Iulie 25, 2018) – To say that welterweight Bryant “Goodfella” Perrella lives, eats and breathes boxing wouldn’t be an understatement.

 

 

 

The 29-year-old Fort Myers native trains year round, doesn’t drink or smoke and keeps a strict diet. When he’s not feverishly pounding away at the heavy bag, shadowboxing, sparring, or doing roadwork in the sweltering heat, Perrella’s likely at a fitness facility in Southwest Florida.

 

 

 

“He puts his entire life into this sport and taking care of his body,” said Michael Nowling, Perrella’s head trainer. “I’ve seen plenty of fighters work hard in the gym to get ready for a fight then take breaks after and balloon up in weight. Bryant is the exact opposite – I have to tell him he needs a break.”

 

 

 

A 6’1 southpaw, Perrella’s regarded as one of the better up and coming 147 pound fighters. La 15-1 cu 13 victorii prin knock-out, Perrella’s scored impressive victories over fellow welterweight hopefuls David Grayton and Alex Martin. In his lone setback, a fourth round stoppage by title contender Yordenis Ugas, Perrella entered the bout with a right leg injury and left with many lessons learned.

 

 

 

Încă, he’s expecting the toughest challenge of his career when he battles former welterweight champion Luis Collazo, 37-7 (20 Lui KO), August 4 at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, NY. Residing in nearby Brooklyn, NY, the slick southpaw not only has the hometown advantage but the edge in experience having faced Shane Mosley, Keith Thurman, Andre Berto, Ricky Hatton, Victor Ortiz and Amir Khan among others.

 

 

 

“Luis Collazo is one of the craftiest boxers around and he’s been a top fighter for many years,” Perrella said. “He’s given everybody a tough fight and had a few close decisions go against him. I expect this to be the biggest challenge of my career but I’m ready for it. Fights like these are the reason I’ve dedicated my life to boxing. I don’t just want to win – I want to win impressively and show the boxing world that I’m worthy of a title shot in the near future.”

 

 

 

Perrella meets Collazo over ten rounds and the bout airs at 5:30 pm ET on FS2.

My loss is behind me and it’s given me a chip on my shoulder to run that extra mile and train even harder. I know that Shawn Porter is not on my level. I’m coming to fight him in the middle of the ring and I’m going to beat him at his game.”

 

 

 

“I’m going to force Danny Garcia to fight me, to be uncomfortable and to do things he’s not used to doing in a fight,” said Porter. “If Danny comes in being defensive and trying to hold, it may last a while.

Team Falcao.jpg

Plant City, FL (Iulie 23, 2018) – Highly rated middleweight and 2012 Olympic medalist Yamaguchi Falcao, 16-0 (7 Lui KO), moved further up the rankings by outpointing WBO #14 Elias Espadas, 17-4 (12 Lui KO), over ten rounds.

 

 

 

The bout took place Saturday, Iulie 21 la Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas just prior to an HBO world title doubleheader.

 

 

 

Representing his native Brazil but living and fighting out of Plant City, FL, Falcao got off to a quick start by dropping his Yucatan, Mexico based foe in the second round with a crisp two punch combo. Falcao, a skilled boxer-puncher, battled through a rough and often dirty fight featuring headbutts, low blows and excessive holding. Falcao and Espadas did have some solid exchanges with both men landing nice shots, though Falcao was the more consistent fighter.

 

 

 

In the 10th round, Falcao hurt his foe with a right hook and backed him up against the ropes but the game Espadas weathered the storm until the final bell.

 

 

 

Scoruri au fost 96-92 de două ori și 95-93 for Falcao.

 

 

 

“I’m happy to get the victory even though it was a complicated and frustrating fight,” said Falcao, who ended Espadas’ 8 fight win streak. “It felt like I had to fight the referee and the crowd too but getting the win is what matters most.

 

Ready, willing and able to face any middleweight on the planet, Falcao’s hoping his next fight comes against one of the division’s best.

 

 

 

“We want a title fight and it doesn’t matter which champion. I know this wasn’t the prettiest fight but I’m 100 percent confident I’ve got the skills to challenge anybody willing to give me the opportunity.

 

 

 

Jody Caliguire of Team Falcao was equally frustrated with the bout but is ready to put his fighter against anybody in the world.

 

 

 

“That was a frustrating bout with a lot of dirty tactics. With Espadas out of the way, we’ve got our sights set on the best opponents we can face. Yamaguchi was prepared to face Demetrius Andrade before his situation and nobody else wanted to fight him so that should tell you how serious Team Falcao is. I’ve heard David Lemieux, a fighter we were in camp with last year, is going to be on the Canelo-Golovkin undercard in September and we’d gladly face him.”

 

 

 

Falcao is promoted by Golden Boy Promotions and fans can follow him on Instagram @YamaguchiFalcao.

VIDEO: Michael Dutchover Delivers Emphatic One Punch Knockout Friday Night

PHILADELPHIA, Penn. / ORANGE, Calif. (Iulie 23, 2018) – Junior lightweight Michael Dutchover (10-0, 7 KO), captivated a sold-out crowd with an electrifying one-punch knockout of Sergio Ramirez (4-3, 4 KO) Vineri night from the Doubletree Hotel in Ontario, Calif.

The closeout punch, a right hand on Ramirez’s chin, occurred at the :43 marca de-al doilea tur de scrutin.
I timed it just right,” said the 20-year-old Dutchover. “He came at me with a lazy punch, and I just unloaded that right hand, and he dropped like a fly.
Dutchover barely broke a sweat in his tenth career win. The Texas native, who conducts his training camps in Los Angeles with trainer and manager Danny Zamora, made his 8-round debut, but clearly didn’t need the rounds to score what is likely his most emphatic win to date.
You go into every fight expecting a tough challenge,” Dutchover said. “I was ready to go the full eight rounds, but I’m glad I was able to end it early and give the fans something to talk about.
Dutchover is promoted by Banner Promotions and Thompson Boxing.
