РУБЕН ВИЛЛА: ‘I’M PRETTY SURE ME AND SHAKUR STEVENSON WILL FIGHT AGAIN’
HTTPS://www.ringtv.com/533294-ruben-villa-im-pretty-sure-shakur-stevenson-will-fight/
BY JOSEPH SANTOLIQUITO (RINGTV.COM)
The encouragement wasn’t so subtle, as Ruben Villa IV looked up from his muddy hands and knees, wiping his sweaty brow with his forearm and wondering if the day would ever end. Ruben Villa III, Villa’s father, blurted out, “Do you want to do this for the rest of your life? You better start getting serious about boxing,” or working in sweltering 90-degree heat in the fields would become a fact of life.
Вилла, the gifted featherweight southpaw, was around 15 лет, в то время, and boxing was just something to fill the time. Though sweating in the gym certainly beat toiling for his father in the summer, lugging boxes, landscaping in what Villa describes as a “big old yard,” and making deliveries.
“Бокс, мне, was hard at the time and I was too immature to understand the work that you had to put into it to be successful,” сказал Villa, который станет 21 Следующая неделя. “I had to learn sacrifices were needed in order to be successful. Nothing was going to be handed to me. Once my father took me to work that day, I decided, не, I’d rather get paid to beat someone up.”
That next someone for Villa (10-0, 4 нокауты) could be Colombian Marlon Olea (13-2, 12 КО) in Villa’s first scheduled eight-rounder, from the Salinas Storm House, in Salinas, Калифорния, в субботу вечером. This is the first time Villa will be fighting at home as a pro, в качестве главного события.
“When I’m sweating and working my ass off at the gym, I think back to the times I worked with my father and I’ll always remember that,” сказал Villa, the only boy of five children. “I’m not afraid of hard work but there are better ways to get paid. There are worse situations than boxing and boxing for a living can be a hard life too. You’re away from your family for a month and you’re sweating just as hard as when I worked for my father, who has a job in the agriculture business, doing everything from driving a forklift to making deliveries.
“You appreciate hard work once you see what you’re doing to keep food on the table. You get a greater appreciation when you do what they do. I used to help my father when I was in my mid-teens a couple of times. I did whatever my father told me to do. It meant doing all of the moving, ящики, wooden pallets and this yard that was always dirty. I helped my dad with deliveries and cleaning that big old yard of his. I never wanted to go back to that.”
It made Villa look at boxing differently.
“This fight with Olea is another step for me,” сказал Villa, whose patience belies his age. “My time will come eventually. Я знаю это. Olea, Я знаю, is a Colombian who is 13-2 and he has 12 нокауты, so he comes pretty heavy-handed. My sparring went well. I had some heavier guys come in and I’m ready to show what I can do.”
Villa is hoping his career continues on an upward trajectory, so he can one day professionally meet 2016 U.S. Серебряный призер Олимпийских игр Шакур Стивенсон, who Villa defeated twice in 2015, как любитель. The 5-foot-6 Villa, who started boxing when he was five to curb his overly rambunctious behavior, and Stevenson, кто 5-0, с 2 KOs as a pro, are both featherweights.
After Villa beat Stevenson the second time in 2015, Stevenson made the photo of the referee raising Villa’s hand the screensaver on his cell phone. Stevenson got his revenge by beating Villa twice at the Olympic Trials, в декабре 2015, to earn a spot on the U.S. team for the 2016 Rio Olympics.
“Somewhere down the line, I’m pretty sure me and Stevenson will happen again,” Villa said. “I want to see him again. Once we make a name for ourselves, это произойдет. We’ll get that fight in and there is a rivalry between us. I know more people in boxing may know him more than they know me but I don’t care.
“I’ve always had the idea to push through with hard work. I’ll get mine eventually.”

Vargas conducted the media workout from Mayweather Boxing Club as he prepares for the pivotal matchup against Broner. Вот что Варгас, МакКаллум и генеральный директор Мэйуэзер Акции Леонард Эллерб had to say Thursday:
JESSIE VARGAS
“Adrien Broner and I are entertaining fighters who come in and give it our all. This is a fight that will have a lot of fireworks.
“I brought in a nutritionist for camp who has done a great job informing me of some things that I’ve never done before in my career. I feel stronger and I’ve been finishing up this camp stronger than normal.
“If he comes to fight me on the inside then that’s going to feed right into my game plan. Давай. If he wants to come and fight, then we’ll pick him apart bit by bit. We’re ready for any type of fight. Как только он почувствует мою силу, he’s going to back up and choose a better route.
“I’m going to switch it up. I’m here to give the fans entertainment. Some moments I’ll go after him and some moments I’ll be the counter-puncher. It’ll be based off what he brings to the ring and we’ll take it from there.
“If Broner feels that he’s going to perform better with coach Kevin Cunningham, then good for him. I want to face the best Adrien Broner. I don’t want any excuses after this. I’m looking forward to beating the best Broner possible on April 21.
“Adrien is fast and explosive, but we’re prepared for it. I have those same skills too. We’ve had great sparring including Devin Haney and Phil Lo Greco just to name a couple. These guys have been able to elevate my skills.
“I feel very fortunate that coach McCallum was able to take on the task of training me and I’m happy to be in my second fight with him. We feel like we’ve already accomplished so much in this relatively short amount of time we’ve been working together.
“Coach McCallum is a tremendous trainer who’s been able to teach me some different techniques. Obviously he’s known as ‘The Bodysnatcher’, so we’ve worked on body shots, but he also knew how to maintain his distance and he emphasizes the mental game. He tells me how he saw every situation during a fight.
“Throughout every round and every day coach is on top of me to make sure I’m feeling good and that my energy is at the right level. He tells me exactly what I need and it’s gotten me here and in the best shape of my career.
“This is a fight that should garner a lot of attention from boxing fans. They deserve a fight like this. It’s two guys coming in at the top of their game and only one of us can take this step forward in our career.
“I’m planning on having my hand-raised in victory. I’ve worked hard in camp so that I can go out there and prove to everyone that I’m a threat to any fighter out there.”
MIKE MCCALLUM, Варгас’ Тренер
“We picked up where we left off from Jessie’s last fight in December. He has all the tools he needs, I’m just here to make sure he knows how and when to use them in the ring.
“Everybody knows Broner is a good fighter. It’s going to be an exciting matchup because Jessie is in shape and ready to go.
“We’re ready to fight any kind of style that will beat Broner. We know we’re going to have to box, if he has to do it for 12 раундов, Jessie will be ready. Once they get in close, Jessie has a good punch too and that might surprise Broner.”
Леонард Эллерб, Генеральный директор Мэйуэзер Акции
“This is the best card in the sport right now. The main event is a sensational bout. Это 50-50 борьба. Both guys need to win this. In Jessie’s case, this win will elevate him with the other elite welterweights that are out there.
“Это огромный бой. It’s a great fight for the fans and we’re very proud to be helping promote this event. It’s going to be a great night and thrilling main event.”

Jamal James wants to shine bright in homecoming bout against Abel Ramos
The sounds of a boxing gym can be intimidating. There is a rhythmic, cacophony of speed bags, and heavy bags and mitt work going on simultaneously-and all with authoritative whoomps!
It can reach such a pitch that you could barely hear yourself talk. Just imagine being four-year-old Jamal James and the wide-eyed wonderment he had when his mother took him to the Circle of Discipline gym on the south side of Minneapolis, Миннесота.
The intimidation lasted maybe a second. The next thing the rambunctious James did was mimic the fighters he saw, throwing his tiny hands at the bags, fitting his whole arm into a glove. Twenty-five years later in that same gym, everyone now mimics James.
After a sea of amateur and professional wins, under the guidance of Sankara Frazier, who’s been as much a father as he’s been a trainer, Джеймс (22-1, 10 КО) will be seen by not just the Circle of Discipline gym, but by the city of Minneapolis and the nation when he takes on Abel Ramos (18-2-2, 13 КО) in a scheduled 10-round welterweight fight on Friday, Апреля 13, at the Minneapolis Armory on a Premier Boxing Champions on FS1 and FOX Deportes live (9PM ET/6PM PT).
Also featured on the card will be veteran Edner Cherry against Dennis Galarza in a lightweight co-main event, and Austin Dulay taking on Chris Colbert in a matchup of unbeaten super featherweights.
For the 29-year-old James, this will mark the first time in five years that the 6-foot-2 welterweight has fought on his home turf. It’s been a long journey for someone who was once a kid introduced to boxing holding his mother’s hand.
“Jamal took to boxing, almost immediately,” Frazier recalled. “It’s kind of funny, because he had a little temper on him, just like I did when I began. There was one time a kid who was more experience than Jamal got the better of him, and Jamal jumped the boy, took his head gear off and tried to choke the kid.
“We still laugh about it today. But Jamal, сначала, was a handful. He would whine and complain about doing certain things, and remember, he was still a kid. I would tell him to cut that whining out and it wasn’t so much for the purpose of learning boxing, but to get Jamal to understand at that age what work ethic and discipline was about. He could hardly hold his arms up when he had the big gloves on. You could see Jamal loved being around boxing.”
Джеймс’ goal growing up was to one day be an Olympian. Though what so often happens to other teenaged fighters coming up through the amateur system in the United States, James was discouraged. He needed to grow into his body, слишком, since he was always tall for his weight class.
“I had a meeting with the whole crew, who I had since they were little kids, when they were teenagers and I told them they could be really good,” Frazier recalled. “I let them know there would one or two of them that would go on and do further things. I told them what would get them there is discipline and focus.
“There were only a few kids that were working on that part of it, and one of them was Jamal. You see with him now. My thing is I don’t talk to my kids or fighting professional, but boxing is something a person has to want to do, and if money comes with it, большой. Boxing is a tough game and you need to be disciplined and focused with it.”
James has one pro loss on his record, and it’s to the very talented Yordenis Ugas in August 2016. James was just coming off an impressive win against Wale Omotoso a month earlier.
“The loss against Ugas I take as a good lesson,” сказал Джеймс, whose rangy 6-2 frame makes it tough for any welterweight to get inside his jab. “I thought I was in shape against Ugas, and I was too slow on the trigger and I fought his fight.
“I found out there that you have to prepare fully for any fight you take. I tried to push the envelope a little too hard for that one. My reflexes weren’t there. I’ll say I wasn’t overlooking Ugas, I’ll say I was overly confident for that fight, в это время. I had no losses and I was feeling good about himself.”
Now James is on a great stage-his home. The renovated Minneapolis Armory is a historic venue that hosted nearly 100 cards between 1915-1973, including shows headlined by one of the greatest welterweights ever – Шугар Рэй Робинсон.
“I know Abel Ramos is a tough fighter, and I know he’ll come and bring it,” James said. “He’s not coming to my backyard just to lay down. I know he’s coming to fight and I embrace that challenge. If I’m going to be a world champion one day, I’m going to have to take on guys like this, and deal with this kind of pressure.
“I’m going to make sure the other guy is going to remember my name. The storm is coming right here at home. I’m opening the door for these guys coming up behind me.”
Like the older guys once held the door for him.

Confidence not lacking in Chris Colbert’s arsenal
Doubt, they say, is the privilege of those who’ve lived a long time. На 21, Chris Colbert hasn’t earned that right yet. Однако, age may do nothing to blunt his hubris.
“In boxing you have to stay focused, stay humble and stay ready. I’m still working on the humble part,” Chris Colbert laughs.
His trash talking may offend some, but it’s hard to stay humble when your talent has you feeling like Cassius Clay in Olympic Village.
“I’m a ‘lights, камера, action guy,” he boasts. “I love the lights, I love the camera, and I’m definitely all about that action.”
Кольбер (7-0, 2 КО) has backed up his bravado so far. The undefeated featherweight prospect will make his television debut on FS1 and FOX Deportes against Austin Dulay at the Armory in Minneapolis, Minnesota on Friday.
Some will watch hoping the cocksure kid gets knocked off. But Colbert is already a winner, no matter what happens going forward. His isn’t a story of one who did it the right way. It’s a tale of one who did it его способ.
Colbert was born and raised in the harsh Flatbush area of Brooklyn. Он, his mother, and nine siblings lived together under an ever-changing roof that included two stints in the local shelter.
“My family really wasn’t that close,” Colbert says. “I was the middle child, the independent one. Так, I was always by myself, going out and being in the streets alone.”
Colbert was a good student growing up. But by the time he finished middle school, he was spending most of his time on corners, where his diminutive size made him an easy mark.
“I didn’t run from those fights,” he recalls. “I guess in a way, I took out my frustrations on others through street fighting. But that’s where it ended. I never got arrested or caught up with drugs and stuff. I knew what came after that and no matter what, I always believed my future would be bright.”
Colbert got his first taste of boxing at age 13, when he became hooked on the build-up for the Floyd Mayweather-Shane Mosley fight.
“I saw how much money Floyd makes fighting and I told myself, ‘I fight in the streets every day. Why don’t I get paid for it?"”
The universe agreed. Shortly after, Colbert got into an argument with a friend. The friend suggested they settle it in the ring at Atlas Cops & Kids Boxing Gym. Atlas is a Brooklyn landmark, a mentoring center for neighborhood children started by retired New York police officer Pat Russo and former boxing trainer Teddy Atlas.
“I knew I was home soon as I walked in,” Colbert says. “I kept looking around, seeing the culture there, and I remembered watching Mayweather at the gym. I walked up to a coach and said, ‘I’m going to be the best fighter you got in this gym.’ He thought I was joking. I came every day for three years straight.
“Once I started going to the gym, my life was all about boxing. I used to go to school and I wasn’t focused, not doing the work. But I told the teachers, ‘I’m good. I’m going to be a boxer.’ They all told me that I wasn’t going to make it.”
Colbert would meet future trainer and father-figure Aureliano Sosa at Atlas. It was Sosa who christened him “Лил’ B-Hop.”
“They called me that because they said I fought like Bernard Hopkins; the way he taunts people and all that stuff,” Colbert says. “Then one day I’m at a press conference and someone shouted my nickname. Hopkins turned around thinking they were calling him. That’s how we met. We’ve been close ever since.”
Hopkins advises his namesake, sharing insights on the game and warning him of the pitfalls ahead. “Lil B-Hop” immersed himself in boxing, studying Mayweather, Pernell Whitaker and Andre Ward to incorporate parts of their style into his own. Colbert possesses fast hands and feet, and is comfortable fighting either orthodox or southpaw. He’s registered only two stoppages but believes that will change once he acquires “grown man strength.”
Однако, Colbert’s newfound love didn’t alter fortunes at home. Just as the U.S. Nationals were about to begin, he and his family were evicted.
“I was really going through it,” он говорит,. “Like damn, I never wanted people to know my business. That’s how I am with everything. I always kept things to myself. Being in the shelter again, trying to get ready to compete in a fight was one of the hardest things I had to go through.”
Colbert went on to win that 2015 Nationals championship. He became the No. 3-ranked fighter nationally at 114 фунтов и нет. 1 на 123, earning an opportunity to qualify for the Olympics.
Но “the politics of the game” and perhaps the allure of making money convinced him to turn pro at 18. It appears he made the right decision. В ноябре прошлого года, he fought in his first eight-rounder, outpointing Titus Williams in a battle of undefeated Big Apple prospects.
На бумаге, Dulay is the toughest opponent of his career. Following an amateur career that included over 120 побед, the Tennessee native is 11-0 с 8 KOs as a pro.
“These aren’t fights they’re giving me,” Colbert says. “This is what I’m asking for. A lot of these world champions came up taking the easy route. They’ll be 27-0 and haven’t fought an undefeated fighter. Я только 7-0 and I’m up to my third undefeated fighter. And I plan to keep wiping them out.”
Along with this early crossroads fight, his long-time girlfriend is pregnant with his first child, a son. Colbert’s approaching both the fight and parenting with the same confidence that got him to this point.
“After I turned pro, I said to my teachers, ‘I told y’all.’ Сейчас, I’m doing this to better myself, better my community and to give my son the kind of life I didn’t have. I’m just waiting on my turn to shine. You could hate it or love it, but no matter what, stay tuned.”

Ruben Villa Eyes First Title Saturday Night from Salinas, ТАКОЙ КАК
|
Филадельфия, Пенн. /ОРАНЖЕВЫЙ, Халиф. (Апреля 11, 2018) – Top featherweight prospect Ruben Villa (10-0, 4 КО)looks to add the first championship of his young career when he battles Colombian Marlon Olea (13-2, 12 КО) за вакантный WBO Youth Title this Saturday night from the Salinas Storm House in Salinas, Халиф.
Вилла, который превращает 21 Следующая неделя, will be fighting in his hometown for the first time as a professional.
“There’s a lot of firsts for this fight,” Villa said. “It’s a great feeling to fight for a title and to do it in my home city with me as the headliner [also a first], это мечта. These are the types of fights I’ve been working toward ever since I was little.”
The southpaw with fast hands and high IQ split his training camp from the arid climate of Riverside, Калифорния., to the coastal weather of Salinas. Villa faced a variety of sparring partners to prepare for the quick hitting style that Olea will bring on Saturday night.
“The key to any training camp is to get tested against quality fighters,” сказал Villa, которого продвигают Banner Promotions и Thompson Boxing. “I went against boxers that were real slick with their movements, and others that came forward and threw a lot of punches. I feel confident in what I want to do against Olea.”
In addition to making his first headlining appearance on “Новая кровь,” Villa also fights for the first time at 8-rounds. He is coming off three straight 6-round unanimous decision victories. до не давнего времени, Villa had won every round on every scorecard in his six decision wins with the exception of dropping one round on one scoresheet against Juan Sandoval in February.
Olea, for what it’s worth, holds a unanimous decision loss to WBA world champion Danny Roman from November of 2016. That matchup was contested at 122-pounds, while Saturday night’s fight is set for 126-pounds. Villa would appear to have the size advantage, as he is a natural featherweight with room to fill out as he gets older.
“В этом виде спорта, you take any advantage you can get,” Villa remarked. “He’s still a talented guy so I can’t get over confident on that.”
Билеты на “Новая кровь” по цене $75 & $125, и доступны для покупки по телефону 714-935-0900, или онлайн на ThompsonBoxing.com..

Red Hot 154-pound Division Continues to Sizzle With Undefeated World Champion Jermell Charlo Defending His Title Against Former World Champion Austin Trout Saturday, Июнь 9 Прямой эфир в SHOWTIME из центра STAPLES в Лос-Анджелесе

Лев Санта-Крус & Abner Mares Battle in World Title Rematch in the Main Event Presented by Premier Boxing Champions
ЛОС-АНДЖЕЛЕС (Апреля 11, 2018) – The 154-pound division continues to heat up as undefeated world champion Jermell Charlo defends his belt against former world champion Остин “Без Сомнения” Форель Суббота, Июнь 9 in a 12-round showdown live on SHOWTIME from STAPLES Center in Los Angeles.
The Premier Boxing Champions event is headlined by WBA Super World Featherweight World Champion Лев Санта-Крус battling WBA Regular Featherweight World Champion Авенир Mares in an anticipated world title rematch.
Билеты на турнире, которая способствует Ringstar спорта и TGB Promotions, начинаются в $50, плюс применимые сборы, and are on sale now To purchase tickets visit AXS.com or click ВОТ.
Super welterweight is one of the deepest and most ferociously contested divisions in boxing with unified champion Jarrett Hurd and Charlo on a collision course for supremacy in the weight class. Virtually all of the most significant fights in the division are taking place in 2018 на SHOWTIME, with the three consensus best fighters, and at least five of the consensus top-10, facing off in what has become an unofficial tournament.
Charlo (30-0, 15 КО) has blasted his way to the top of the division, having stopped four of his last opponents by knockout. The 27-year-old from Houston won the title with a knockout victory over John Jackson in 2016. Since then he has successfully defended it twice, including scoring a devastating first round knockout victory over top contender Erickson Lubin in his last fight in October and a Knockout of the Year contender against Charles Hatley in April. Charlo and his twin brother, Jermall, were the only twin brothers to hold world titles in the same weight class simultaneously before Jermall relinquished his 154-pound championship to campaign at 160 фунты.
“Trout is no journeyman. He’s a former world champion, someone who has a name and he comes to fight. The name means he’s worthy of another title challenge,” Саид Charlo. “Trout is the man that has been chosen for me and I have to take care of him. I’m super excited to be fighting and defending my title again.
“The only thing I’m going to tell you about what I’m going to do against Trout is, I’m going to surprise you guys. I plan to show my skills and show why I’m the best at 154 фунты. The most important thing is to make my mark and claim my territory.”
The 32-year-old Trout (31-4, 17 КО) is one of most accomplished boxers in the 154-pound division, having stepped into the ring against champions like Miguel Cotto, Саул “Канело” Альварес, Эрисланди Лара, Jermall Charlo and Jarrett Hurd. Representing Las Cruces, Нью-Мексико, he won the super welterweight title with a unanimous decision victory over Rigoberto Alvarez in 2011. He successfully defended the title four times, including a victory over Cotto, before losing the championship to Alvarez in 2013 and a decision to Lara eight months later.
After winning four straight, Trout stepped in for a world championship against Jermall Charlo but lost a close unanimous decision in 2016, although he is the only person to go the distance with Jermall since 2015. Last October he took on Hurd for the title, but lost via 10й раунде техническим нокаутом – the first time in his career that he’d ever been stopped. Trout is coming off a unanimous decision victory over Juan De Angel on Feb. 17.
“Я более чем взволнованы. I’m happy because I’m still a threat in this game,” сказал Траут. “People can write me off all they want. Even when I was a champion people wrote me off. This is an opportunity of a lifetime. I’m approaching it is as my last opportunity. Everybody is counting me out and I’m hoping he is too. I’m going to shock him and the world.
“I feel like I’ve done this before because I fought his brother. Jermell uses more of his skills where Jermall uses more of his brute strength. I fought the bigger one and I fought Hurd who was like his bigger brother. Now I get to fight someone who is closer to my size.”

Вот какие бойцы, plus coach Cunningham, had to say about camp, Апреля 21 и более:
Адриен Broner
On changing trainers…
“I felt like it was time to change. I hear people say, ‘You are expected to change but you don’t, that’s why you end up in the same spots over and over’. Так, I have to change something to get a different result. That’s why I had to step outside of the box and go for it.
“I had to change things. I had to add to my repertoire because I’m getting all that I can do out of what I’m doing but I keep coming up short for these fights that I’m supposed to be winning. Так, it was time for a change.
“Looking back at all of my defeats, the only real punishment that I’ve taken in this sport was against [Маркос] Maidana-I got a fractured jaw. In the Shawn Porter fight, he outwrestled me and in the Mikey [Гарсия] борьба, he just outworked me. Так, it’s time to add to my team and that’s why I got coach Kevin Cunningham. He’s going to bring out the best of Adrien Broner.”
On why he chose Kevin Cunningham?
“I’ve known Coach Cunningham since my amateur days. We used to go up to St. Louis all the time and fight in his tournaments, on his shows. I have even fought for St. Louis in the Ringside Tournament. Это было большой опыт.
“I’ve known Coach Cunningham for a long time. He is the real deal He is not going to B.S. мне. He’s going to keep me on my toes. I need that.
“There are coaches that change when their fighters get to certain levels. They still coach, but they don’t provide the structure the fighter needs. When I was fighting at 130, 135, Coach Mike [Стаффорд] will be at my door yelling ‘Get your butt up. We have to run. We have to train. Get up! Get up!’ But time went by and things changed.
“Coach Mike stopped being a coach and started being more of a friend. I needed him to keep being my coach. I need someone to keep me in line. Не поймите меня неправильно, he’ll always be like a father figure but when it comes to training and my career. I needed a change.”
На сборах…
“I’m very happy with this camp. It’s just what I needed. I’m catching up with sleep, eating well. The isolated training is really good. I love everything about this camp.
“Training in isolation is really good for me. I told everybody that they were not coming to Florida with me, that I will see them all after the fight and that if they really love me they will understand the situation and they will be cool with it.
“I actually did a camp with Coach Kevin before when Devon Alexander fought Timothy Bradley. And I’ve seen the way he is. We had our arguments and he cussed me out almost every day, but I was just missing the structure and that’s what I need.”
On how he felt after losing to Mikey Garcia…
“I was upset. В конце концов,, nobody fixes my problems but me. I can take care of everybody when they have a problem, but nobody fixes my problems. There are one or two people that are there for me but at the end of the day, I told myself I have to get my life and career together.”
Reflecting on his career…
“I started my career young. I won titles in four weight classes. I’ve accomplished a lot and there’s still more to come. I got a lot of fighting left to do.”
GERVONTA Дэвис
On why he decided to do training camp with Kevin Cunningham…
“I was actually going to go to Colorado to train, but Adrien invited me to come down here to West Palm Beach to check out the camp. He said I should come to Florida to train with him and Kevin. So I came down, I saw Kevin’s routine and I really liked it.
“There were a lot of distractions in Baltimore and I think they were a problem for me. I needed to straighten my head and focus on the things I have to work on. It was time to set my camp somewhere else.
“I needed a change after my last fight. I let myself down. I learned to be a different fighter, more responsible. I let others down, but think I let myself down more than anything.”
On becoming one of the youngest champions in boxing…
“I was one of the youngest world champions in boxing. It is not that I was not prepared for it. I was just so young and it happened so quickly. I had to adapt to it. Live up to the hype. It was hard.”
По его противника, Иисус Куэльяр…
“I’m not really into researching my opponents-or other fighters other than the ones that I like. I just train hard and fight who is in front of me. I know a little bit about him [Иисус Куэльяр]. I know that he can hit, that he’s not going to back down and that he’s a tough opponent. I believe he’s my toughest opponent to date. Апреля 21, we will see if he is ready. I know for sure I will be.”
On life in training camp when not at the gym…
“We have a big house that the coach provided for us. We all live together-Adrien and I. We go swimming and to the movies. We just chill. We are being responsible. No South Beach, no clubbing. Just training hard.”
On his relationship with Adrien Broner…
“What people don’t know is that I’ve been around Adrien since I was younger. I looked up to him. When Adrien came on the scene, he was super sharp and fast. I remember him. He used to come to the amateur tournaments.
“Adrien is like a big brother to me. We are just like a little brother, старший брат. We are very competitive. We do not say it but we always want to outdo each other. Например, I usually run faster than he does, but sometimes he beats me. Yesterday he ran so fast I could not catch him. So today, I took the lead and ran even faster. We push each other to our best.”
On his plans for the future…
“I want to win more belts. I want to become a big star in boxing. I am going to put my work in the gym, put on a great performance in the ring and get back on track to become a world champion again.
“Being a world champion again is just a step closer towards my goal: I want to be a pay-per-view star. I want to be able to fight on pay-per-view against the big fighters and do big numbers.”
Кевин CUNNINGHAM
On his relationship with Adrien Broner…
“I’ve known Adrian Broner for a very long time. I think I’ve known him since he was like eight years old and 60 фунты. He’s always been an extremely talented fighter. When he was a kid he was one of the most talented kids. He has always had boatloads of talent.”
On Broner’s shortcomings as a fighter…
“I think sometimes, he could be a little more focused and have a little more discipline in a lot of the different things he’s doing. I think he’s trying to turn the corner and get things moving in the right direction.”
On what caused Broner to come up short in recent big fights at higher weights…
“There are several things that could cause him to lose focus and come up a little short in some of the major fights. Some of it is the focus but there needs to be a little more discipline in terms of the training aspect and more structure. I think that’s what we’re working on here.”
On what he can do to improve Broner’s game…
“I think coming over here with me, he’s finding a lot more structure in the training aspect. It’s a totally different training program that I have him doing. I think that he’s ready for some new leadership. He’s ready to be a little more disciplined in his profession and I think it’s going to show on the 21st.”
On why this time will be different…
“I’ve heard from him like everybody has, but this time Broner really has done everything possible to rectify the situations that needed to be straightened out to help him propel his career and get back moving in the right direction – and it’s not just his boxing career; it’s also as a person – his personal life – and I’m here to help him out with that. He’s really working hard to get it right this time.”
On his history and background as a trainer and how it applies here…
“I’m known to be a stern and disciplined trainer, тренер, and teacher. I’ve got a military and police background, so I don’t play a lot of games. We’re serious and we’re about business. When Broner made the decision to come with me, I knew that he was ready to take his career seriously because he knows what it’s like being here with me. He has to be about business, he has to be serious, and he has to be focused and disciplined. He made the choice to have me take over his training and take the lead as his head trainer and that’s what he’s getting when he’s dealing with me.”
On how he and Broner came together…
“A couple of weeks after the Mikey Garcia fight, he called me and he told me he was thinking about making some changes and that he wanted me to consider being his guide and taking the lead as head trainer. He asked me what I thought about that and I said, ‘You know what you’re getting when you come to me and if you’re going to be serious and focused about this, I’ll give you all I’ve got.’ And he said, ‘I’m serious.’ We started training together before camp started and I just saw a different look in his eyes. Ever since camp started he’s been nothing but hard work, преданность, and focus.”
On if he had any fears about their partnership…
“I told him upfront what I expected and what we needed to do and how things had to go. I told him that if he wasn’t ready to adhere to what I’m expecting, he shouldn’t waste his time or mine. He has done everything I’ve asked of him. Everything and more. He’s going to show that he’s ready to get himself together. He’s going to show the world onApril 21 that he’s rededicated himself, he’s ready to reclaim the thrown.”

Комиссия по боксу запускает программу «Здоровье боксера» & Консультативный веб-сайт по безопасности
Британский & Ирландский боксерский орган (BIBA) сегодня объявила о запуске BIBA Health & Веб-сайт руководителя службы безопасности – www.boxbiba.co.uk– что касается не только здравоохранения & Советы по безопасности, ресурсы и информация для боксеров, но также содержит информацию и ресурсы по вопросам психического здоровья..
С 2016 британский & Ирландское управление бокса стремится улучшить все аспекты здоровья боксеров. & Безопасность, включая назначение ряда специалистов, в том числе известный специалист по спортивным травмам профессор Майкл Грэм МБЧБ; кандидат наук; ФРСМ; БАС; МИКР; МКСФС; ПККМХ; Эксперт АПИЛ; ФСБ совместно с Медицинским консультативным советом BIBA разработает дополнительные процедуры по охране здоровья и безопасности боксеров, такие как когнитивное тестирование как часть процедуры лицензирования, а также медицинское обслуживание после мероприятия., а также возглавить группу экспертов для проведения долгосрочных исследований травм головы, связанных с боевыми видами спорта..
В марте 2017 британский & Ирландское боксерское управление было первой комиссией, представившей инфракрасные сканеры., портативный инфракрасный сканер мозга, который может обнаруживать признаки кровоизлияния в мозг, на мероприятиях, санкционированных ими самими, после ряда серьезных травм головы в спорте, включая смерть Майка Тауэлла в 2016.
Еще один недавний британец & Инициатива Irish Boxing Authority была представлена в январе. 2018 разрешения хранить напитки для регидратации в углу на всех соревнованиях продолжительностью восемь раундов и более., в попытке гарантировать, что боксеры сохранят водный баланс в длительных боях, что само по себе также может снизить риск потенциального отека или кровотечения в мозг..
Об объявлении нового здравоохранения & Веб-сайт Safety Executive заявил генеральный директор и исполнительный вице-президент BIBA Джанлука Ди Каро.;
“Еще в феврале мы подписали Хартию психического здоровья для спорта и отдыха и в рамках нашего плана действий решили создать специальный веб-сайт для повышения осведомленности о психическом здоровье в спорте..
Во время обсуждений с комитетом, который занимается нашей политикой в области психического здоровья, меня осенило, что, хотя крайне важно, чтобы мы получали доступную информацию и ресурсы по очень важному вопросу психического здоровья., что мы должны также охватить другие не менее важные вопросы здравоохранения. & Безопасность имеет значение, особенно те, которые могут снизить потенциальный риск кровоизлияний в мозг, а также серьезно взглянуть на текущие правила спорта для улучшения здоровья. & Безопасность участников соревнований.
Еще одним фактором, побудившим нас принять решение о создании всеобъемлющего веб-сайта по Вышке, стало то, что наша ведущая команда специалистов в настоящее время реализует долгосрочный исследовательский проект по травмам головы не только в боксе, но и во всех единоборствах..
Несмотря на то, что мы занимаемся этим исследовательским проектом всего несколько месяцев, мы уже выделили ряд областей., в рамках действующих правил, над этим нужно серьезно задуматься и внести изменения, мы также будем освещать эти предлагаемые изменения на новом веб-сайте ВШЭ, прежде чем лоббировать все мировые и региональные организации чемпионатов., Ассоциации индустрии бокса и единоборств, а также другие комиссии по всему миру, чтобы попытаться добиться этих невероятно важных изменений в введенных правилах..
Тем из нас, кто управляет этим видом спорта, следует подумать о внесении столь необходимых изменений в правила прямо сейчас., а также идти в ногу со временем и осваивать новые технологии, особенно если это может предотвратить дальнейшие трагедии, как я считаю, это наше, Комиссии, управляющие спортом, обязаны гарантировать, что здравоохранение & Безопасность участников соревнований находится на самом высоком уровне., не сделать этого было бы опасно и безответственно и даже могло бы разрушить наш любимый вид спорта., в основном помогая в рассмотрении дела, из-за нашего собственного бездействия, для тех, кто хочет запретить профессиональный бокс».
Британский & Ирландский боксерский орган (BIBA) Здоровье & Веб-сайт руководителя службы безопасности – www.boxbiba.co.uk – вышел в свет сегодня и будет регулярно обновляться, чтобы предоставить боксерам непревзойденную информацию и ресурсы..
