World featherweight contender Toka Kahn-Clary heads to Hollywood To work with Freddie Roach

Leave a comment
(L-R) – Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach, Toka “T-Niça” Kahn-Clary & manager Seth DeRobbio

PROVIDENCE, Rhode Island (Abril 22, 2018) – World-rated featherweight Toka “T agradable” Kahn-Clary(24-1, 17 KOs) has graduated from prospect to world contender. To fully develop, Kahn-Clary recently shifted his training camp from the smallest state in the country, Rhode Island, to the second-largest city in America, Los Angeles, where he has started working with Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach.

 

 

 

Fighting out of Providence (Rhode Island), Kahn-Clary made the six-week move to Roach’s famed Wild Card Boxing Club to receive fine tuning from Roach, avoid any potential distractions at home, and have an opportunity for world-class sparring sessions.

 

 

 

 

The chemistry was there right away between Roach and Kahn-Clary. After his first day working with Kahn-Clary, Roach said the following: “Today was a very good day. Toka has great ring-generalship, footwork and speed. I was impressed.”

 

 

 

 

“Freddie is very precise,” Kahn-Clary reported after a few days with New England native Roach. “Sometimes I get a little lazy on the ropes. No, no, not with him. I wanted to prove right away that I listen. We were working on the pads and Freddie said, ‘You’re not as dumb as you look.’ I thought that was cool coming from him and took it as a compliment. He’s working on me being in total control in the ring. I’m not really going to learn anything too new from him, but it always helps to add a new move here and there. He saw that I’m fast and work the angles. He’s not changing my style, just sharpening my tools.

 

 

 

 

“When there is sparring, the gym is packed with fighters from 122 pounds up to heavyweight. Not just two or three, but a whole lot of guys, and the competition between everyone is great We’re working on my next opponent. Ara, I’m just preparing for my next fight, and then we can focus on my opponent when we know who that will be.”

 

 

 

 

 

Toka-Kahn’s remarkable life story started in his native Liberia, where he knew very little about his real mother as a child, or how many siblings he has in his family. When his father moved to the United States and in 1998, six-year-old Toka Kahn and his younger sister joined him there in Philadelphia.

.

 

 

 

El seu pare, encara que, was later shot to death, leaving Toka and his sister alone. En 2000, they moved to Providence (Rhode Island) to live with a family that, francament, didn’t really care what happened to them. All signs led to him falling in with the wrong crowd and getting into serious trouble. He was homeless for a while but, fortunately, he found boxing and that became his salvation.

 

 

 

 

Saved the day his friend first took him to Manfredo’s Gym in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, when boxing trainer Peter Manfredo, Sr., USA Boxing/New England president Jim Perella i la parella que finalment el va aprovar, Andrea Watson i Ron Clary, all became key parts of Toka’s dramatically changed life.

 

 

 

 

No matter the weather, including snow and freezing conditions, Toka always rode his bike seven miles each way to the gym from his residence, which didn’t even have electricity. He never told anybody, never complained. Un dia, Andrea told the quiet, private kid in the gym that Christmas was coming, and she had a present for him – an extra bedroom. He was adopted and proudly changed his name to Toka Kahn-Clary.

 

 

 

 

Un boxejador aficionat decorat, who registered a 131-11 registre, Kahn-Clary collected numerous medals at national tournaments, destacar per una actuació medalla d'or en el 2010 U.S. Campionats Nacionals de Guants d'Or. També va ser medalla de plata a la 2009 Campionats Nacionals de Guants d'Or i 2011 U.S. Campionats Nacionals, as well as a bronze medalist at the 2012 U.S. Campionats Nacionals.

 

 

 

 

Kahn-Clary arrived in LA on April 16 and he will remain there until May 25. “At this point in his career,” Toka’s manager Seth Derobbio explicada, “he had to make this move to position himself for a world title shot. There’s no quality sparring in New England in his weight class. Freddie is one of the best, if not the best trainer in boxing. Toka is going to benefit from working with Freddie. No distractions out there, qualsevol dels dos. Toka is going to eat, dormir, wake-up, run, strength train and box. Això és, all boxing, 24/7.”

 

 

 

 

 

“I’m excited to see what my friend Freddie is going to do with one of our star fighters,” remarked Kahn-Clary’s promoter, Saló de la Fama Evander Holyfield. “Toka is ready for anybody in the 126-pounds division and Freddie is going to bring out the best in him.”

 

 

 

 

Manfredo, Sr. remains involved in Toka’s career, working his corner with chief second Roach for his next fight, amb optimisme, Juny 2nd a Atlantic City (Nova Jersey) on his promoter’s (The Real Deal Boxing) proposed card.

 

 

 

 

“I was involved in this decision and I’ve worked with Freddie before (amb Peter Manfredo, Jr.),” Manfredo, Sr. va remarcar. “It is the right move to advance his career. Toka is probably the best fighter I’ve ever trained. He’ll be away from distractions at home and get quality sparring. Freddie is a top-notch trainer, who I have nothing but admiration and respect for. Freddie will teach him more and we work well together. He’s so knowledgeable and a great guy, massa. Freddie is a teacher and I’ll learn more as well.”

 

 

 

 

Kahn-Clary recently became a father for the first time, but he understands the sacrifice he’s making for his pro boxing career will payoff sooner rather than alter for his family.

 

 

 

 

“I talk to my daughter every day,” the affable Kahn-Clary concluded. “Thank God for technology. I facetime because she’s five months old and I don’t want her to forget my face. I don’t know how fighters used to go away to camp.”

 

 

 

 

 

The 25-year-old Kahn-Clary is world rated by the International Boxing Federation (#11) and World Boxing Federation (#13). In his last two fights, Kahn-Clary defeated a pair of undefeated opponents, David Berna (13-0) by way of a second-round technical knockout in Louisville (KY for the interim North American Boxing Association (També) featherweight title, adding the NABA USNBC featherweight crown to his growing display case this past December, quan Joan Vicent Moralde (19-0) was unable to continue after seven rounds of punishment in Providence.

BROOKLYN (Abril 22, 2018) – campió mundial en quatre divisions Adrien Broner i campió del món de dues divisions Jessie Vargas va lluitar per un sorteig majoritari de 12 rondes molt entretingut dissabte a la nit a SHOWTIME a l'esdeveniment principal de SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING davant de 13,964 aficionats al Barclays Center de Brooklyn en un esdeveniment presentat per Premier Boxing Champions.

 

 

 

La batalla d'anada i tornada va ser una història d'activitat vs. precisió. Vargas va ser, amb diferència, el lluitador més actiu, llançament 839 cops totals, 300 més que el seu oponent. No obstant això, el cridaner Broner era extremadament precís, de connexió a 44 per cent dels seus trets de poder i 38 per cent del seu total de ponches, en comparació amb només 27 i 24, respectivament, per Vargas.

 

 

 

Broner (33-3-1, 24 KOs) va entrar amb força a la segona meitat de la lluita, recollint la vuitena ronda 10 sobre els tres jutges’ quadres de comandament. La 12º ronda va ser crucial per determinar el sorteig, que va ser anotat 115-113 Broner i 114-114 dues vegades. Els jutges van acordar vuit dels 12 rondes però no es va poder posar d'acord sobre la ronda final, que va ser dictat de manera diferent pels dos jutges que van anotar la lluita amb un empat.

 

 

“Vull donar les gràcies a Jessie Vargas. És dues vegades campió del món per una raó,” Said Broner, que treballava per primera vegada amb Kevin Cunningham com a entrenador principal. “Va venir a lluitar però al final del dia, tots sabeu que el vaig vèncer. Punt en blanc, període.

 

 

 

“Estava connectant amb els drets. Em vaig escalfar a la primera part de la lluita. El meu entrenador ha estat de gran ajuda aquesta nit. Vull donar les gràcies a l'entrenador Cunningham així com al meu entrenador original, Mike Stafford, per adonar-me que necessitava fer alguna cosa diferent.

 

 

 

“M'encantaria tornar a lluitar contra Vargas, però tornem al meu poble per fer-ho.”

 

 

 

Vargas (28-2-1, 10 KOs) va treballar fora del jab i va ser increïblement efectiu amb els seus trets al cos només en la seva segona lluita amb l'entrenador i excampió del món Mike “El llastrador de cos” McCallum.

 

 

 

“Vaig pensar que vaig guanyar la lluita,” va dir Vargas. “Al final del dia no puc discutir perquè estava lluitant a l'interior del ring, així que no sé què vas veure des de fora.. Estava donant cops nets. Va ser una bona lluita, però al final no puc qüestionar la decisió.

 

 

 

“Ha d'haver estat una lluita estreta perquè els jutges l'haguessin anotat com ho van fer. Vaig sentir que vaig guanyar la lluita i vaig pujar dues rondes. Confio en els jutges per prendre la decisió correcta.”

 

 

 

Excampió de 154 lliures Jermall Charlo va enviar una declaració a la divisió de pes mitjà a l'esdeveniment co-principal, eliminant un rival que havia estat derrotat anteriorment Hugo Centeno Jr. per capturar el títol interí de 160 lliures WBC. VIDEO:https://s.sho.com/2vxBnDM

 

 

 

Charlo és ara el obligatori per a Gennady “GGG” Golovkin i no es va defugir de cridar el WBC, Campió del món de pes mitjà WBA i IBF.

 

 

 

“Ha estat un viatge increïble arribar fins aquí,” Said Charlo, el germà bessó del campió de 154 lliures del CMB Jermell Charlo. “Sóc dues vegades campió del món. Porta 'GGG.’ Vull aquesta baralla. Estic 27-0 amb 21 nocauts. Tothom ho veu. Què més puc dir?”

 

 

 

Charlo (27-0, 21 KOs) va demostrar que el seu poder es tradueix en pes mitjà, ja que va eliminar al seu segon oponent des que va renunciar al seu títol i va passar a 160 lliura. El nadiu de Houston ara ha guanyat per nocaut en cinc dels seus sis combats des que es va convertir inicialment en campió 2015. Una sèrie de tirs va obrir un enorme ganxo d'esquerra en el primer minut de la segona ronda, paviment Centeno (26-2, 14 KOs), que no va aconseguir superar el compte de 10 i va ser comptat a :55.

 

 

 

“Tothom m'ha evitat sempre i a partir d'ara, així serà com serà,” Said Charlo. “Ja veus el que aconsegueixes.”

 

 

 

Seguint la lluita, Centeno era conscient dels errors que van provocar la derrota.

 

 

 

“Vaig pensar que vaig començar força bé. Volia sortir al meu escut però no era el meu dia,” va dir Centeno. “Em va agafar i va aconseguir el nocaut. Estava intentant treballar el meu jab. Vaig pensar que el vaig aconseguir amb un parell de bons tirs, però em vaig quedar massa temps a la butxaca i no vaig sortir a temps.”

 

 

 

A la primera baralla de la transmissió per televisió, Gervonta Davis es va convertir en dos cops campió del món de manera empàtica amb una tercera ronda de nocaut técnico de l'antic campió Jesús Cuellar per capturar el Campionat del Món vacant de 130 lliures de l'AMB. VIDEO: https://s.sho.com/2vusWsW

 

 

 

L'invicte Davis (20-0, 19 KOs), que va perdre el títol de l'IBF de 130 lliures a la balança l'agost passat, va anotar tres derrocaments en menys de tres rondes per guanyar el seu segon títol a la divisió de pes súper ploma. El jove de 23 anys va connectar 49 per cent dels seus cops de poder en el seu primer combat amb el nou entrenador Kevin Cunningham.

 

 

 

“A la fitxa de la baralla Mayweather-McGregor, Simplement no estava concentrat,” va dir Davis. “Va ser la segona vegada que lluitava amb la targeta de Mayweather, així que em va arribar al cap i es va veure. Després de la baralla, Vaig anar a casa i vaig parlar amb el meu equip i vam decidir que era hora de marxar de Baltimore. Estic concentrat i es va demostrar perquè torno a ser campió.

 

 

 

“Sempre hi ha cops al camí quan vols tenir èxit. Es tracta de com et recuperes i aquesta nit he demostrat que sóc un veritable campió.”

 

 

 

Davis va utilitzar una combinació de trets corporals, uppercuts i eficaç contrapunxada per trencar Cuellar, un antic titular de 126 lliures. Davis de Baltimore va colpejar Cuellar amb un cop al cos a la segona ronda i no va cedir a partir d'aquí. El zurdo va avançar a la tercera, perseguint Cuellar contra les cordes i enviant-lo avall per segona vegada amb una sèrie de combinacions. Cuellar (28-3, 21 KOs) es va aixecar, però va tenir greus problemes i l'àrbitre Benjy Esteves va intervenir per aturar el partit a 2:45 amb l'argentí caient a la lona per tercera vegada.

 

 

 

“El pla de joc era boxejar una mica i obrir-lo amb alguns trets,” va dir Davis. “Quan va ser l'hora, Vaig avançar i el vaig agafar amb prou trets per treure'l.

 

 

 

“Vull tornar el cinturó de l'IBF i estic preparat per unificar-lo amb qui guanyi [Tevin] Pagès vs. [Porra] Dib lluita.”

 

 

 

A l'emissió de dissabte, es va anunciar que Errol Spence Jr. farà la segona defensa del seu campionat mundial de pes welter de la FIB contra el desafiador obligatori invicte Carlos Ocampo al juny 16 a SHOWTIME en una baralla de tornada a Dallas.

 

 

 

El triple header de SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING de dissabte es repetirà dilluns a 10 p.m. ET / PT a SHOWTIME EXTREME.

CARL FRAMPTON WINS INTERIM WBO FEATHERWEIGHT TITLE WITH CONVINCING WIN OVER NONITO DONAIRE LIVE ON SHOWTIME SPORTS SOCIAL PLATFORMS

Leave a comment

NOVA YORK (Abril 21, 2018) – Carl Frampton earned the interim WBO Featherweight Title with a clear unanimous decision victory over former four-division world champion Nonito Donaire from SSE Arena in Belfast in a bout that was streamed live to U.S. audiences via SHOWTIME Sports YouTube Channel and SHOWTIME Boxing Facebook Page. Els tres jutges van anotar la lluita 117-111 in favor of Frampton.

Frampton (25-1, 14 KOs), de Belfast, was the sharper fighter from the opening bell and imposed his will on the veteran Donaire (38-5, 24 KOs) davant dels seguidors de la seva ciutat natal. Frampton controlled the distance well and was strong on the inside, landing a fierce right hand that caused swelling to Donaire’s left eye in the second round. Donaire showed glimpses of why he was named the consensus 2012 Boxejador de l'Any, landing a vicious uppercut in the seventh and a big left hand in the latter stages of round number 11 that hurt Frampton. No obstant això, the hometown favorite was comfortable throughout the majority of the match, using his jab efficiently and implementing the gameplan of trainer Jamie Moore to perfection. The victory puts Frampton in position to challenge WBO Featherweight Champion Oscar Valdez, who is recovering from injury following his fourth title defense, a unanimous decision win over Scott Quigg on Març 10.

“I think Jamie deserves a lot of credit because the gameplan was perfect,", Va dir Frampton. “As you saw in the 11th round, Nonito Donaire is a dangerous opponent. I survived the round and stuck to the gameplan. A vegades, my boxing was beautiful.

“Donaire was a sharp puncher throughout. I was definitely hurt in the 11th round, people could see it. But champions survive and that’s what I did. The only thing on my mind is fighting at Windsor Park. I can’t wait to get there”

Frampton’s victory over Donaire was the first of four high-stakes featherweights’ fights on SHOWTIME® platforms featuring seven of the consensus top-10 ranked featherweights, incloent tres campions del món i quatre antics campions multidivisió. Al maig 19, WBC World Champion Gary Russell Jr. will defend his belt against JoJo Diaz Jr. live on SHOWTIME and IBF World Champion Lee Selby will defend his 126-pound title against undefeated Josh Warrington live in the U.K. on SHOWTIME Sports social platforms. Finalment, a Juny 9, Leo Santa Cruz and Abner Mares will meet live on SHOWTIME in a highly anticipated rematch for the WBA Featherweight World Title.

Former World Champion Ishe Smith Battles Exciting Contender Tony Harrison in 154-pound Clash that Headlines Premier Boxing Champions on Bounce Live on Friday, Maig 11 from Sam’s Town in Las Vegas

Leave a comment

Més! Top Contender Andrew Tabiti Faces Lateef Kayode

In Cruiserweight Attraction in Co-Main Event

Tickets On Sale Monday, Abril 23 a 12 p.m. PT

LAS VEGAS (Abril 20, 2018) – Former super welterweight champion És Ell “Sucre Shay” Herrero will battle top 154-pound contender Tony Harrison in a 10-round match that headlines Premier Boxing Champions on Bounce on Friday, Maig 11 from Sam’s Town in Las Vegas.

En l'esdeveniment co-principal, top contendent Andrés “La Bèstia” Tabiti es reunirà Lateef Kayode in a 10-round cruiserweight attraction. Smith and Tabiti, both Las Vegas residents, will be fighting on their home turf and looking to impress their hometown fans.

Les entrades per a l'esdeveniment, which is being promoted by Mayweather Promotions, començar a $25, are on sale Monday, Abril 23 a 12 p.m. PT and will be available at www.samstownlv.com/entertain.

“Mayweather Promotions has had a busy year thus far and the momentum isn’t slowing down with May 11th at Sam’s Town Live right around the corner,” va dir Leonard Ellerbe, CEO de Mayweather Promotions. “This venue is certainly one of the local properties that we enjoy working with and have made it our home over the past few years.”

“I’m looking forward to seeing Ishe Smith back in the ring after the stellar performance that he put on against Julian Williams to close out 2017. I know that he is physically and mentally prepared to take on Tony Harrison and will not disappoint. Andrew Tabiti is a young talented fighter that is on track to have a bright future. He will look to build upon his flawless record in the co-feature against Lateef Kayode on May 11.”

The 39-year-old Smith (29-9, 12 KOs) became the first Las Vegas-born boxer to win a world championship when he defeated Cornelius Bundrage for a super welterweight title by majority decision in 2013. He lost the title by split decision to Carlos Molina in his next fight before earning another title shot against Erislandy Lara in 2014, that he lost lost by decision. Smith most recently dropped a competitive contest on Bounce against Julian Williams last November.

“I picked up right where I left off from my last fight. I’m back in camp. I didn’t take any time off since my last fight,” Smith va dir. “This will be the second fight in a row where I am bringing in a strength and conditioning coach. I credit my strength & conditioning coach, who played a major role in my last performance being one of my career best. It was no question, before I had a date I was back working with my team. I feel younger, Em sento molt bé – I’m the modern day Benjamin Button. I felt great in my last fight and I’m going to continue to bring it.

“I don’t feel like I’m approaching 40, I actually feel younger and in the best shape of my life. This camp I’m focused on not leaving anything into the judges hands like last time. I can’t allow another bad call against me. It’s time for me to make a statement, dominate, and get this guy out. No sé molt sobre la meva oponent, but I’m going to make him fight my fight.”

Harrison (26-2, 21 KOs) is a heavy-handed 154-pound contender from Detroit, Michigan who has put together two strong victories since suffering a KO loss to unified super welterweight champion Jarrett Hurd in 2017. Harrison most recently scored a KO victory over George Sosa on Feb. 17 in El Paso.

“It’s about time for me to get back into the loop. This is a tough fight against Ishe, who is coming off of a good performance for himself against Julian Williams,” Va dir Harrison. “I’ve been wanting to fight Ishe since my early days as a pro, and this is exactly the kind of fight that I need. This is definitely going to be a good one.

“Ishe is almost 40 anys, but that makes no difference to me. Ishe’s been a world champion, and in order for me to become a world champion, I’ve got to go through one. It’s a difficult task, and there is definitely no way that I’m taking Ishe lightly. I’m the ultimate competitor, and there’s not a fight in the world that I wouldn’t take. I’m ready to lay it all on the line in this fight, and that’s what makes it all worthwhile when I get the win.”

Tabiti (15-0, 12 KOs) has used his punching power to make a steady climb up the cruiserweight ladder. El jove de 28 anys, who was born in Chicago and now lives in Las Vegas, took a major step forward in his last fight when he scored an impressive unanimous decision victory over former world champion Steve Cunningham on Aug. 26. A win against the veteran Kayode will further solidify his position among the top cruiserweight contenders.

“My last fight I showed everyone that I’m a smart boxer,” va dir Tabiti. “I think a lot of guys expect me to just go in the ring and knock guys out but I feel like it’s important to show that I’m versatile. I can box with you or I can use my power and get a guy out.

“Aquest campament, my goal is to focus on targeting the body plus using the IQ I gained from my last camp and fight. This guy is older, he’s coming off two losses, he’s on his way out, but I can’t overlook him. My last opponent was a lot older so I’m going to take the tools and experience and put it all together to bring the fans a great performance.”

The 35-year-old Kayode (21-2, 16 KOs) is looking to bounce back from back-to-back losses, including a unanimous decision loss to Keith Tapia in his last fight on Sept. 23. Kayode, who was born in Lagos, Nigeria and now lives in Hollywood, Califòrnia, dropped down to cruiserweight after his match against heavyweight Luis Ortiz was declared a no contest due to Ortiz failing his post-fight drug test for performance enhancing drugs in 2014. His last victory was a unanimous decision against Nick Kisner in 2015. That paved the way for a shot at the cruiserweight world title later that year, which he lost by knockout to Denis Lebedev.

“Tabiti has absolutely no experience compared to me and his opponents have been less than formidable,” va dir Kayode. “I will show him why I’m in a completely different class of fighter!”

Port Nacional (Abril 20, 2018) – Two exciting main events will be presented on the same night, Dissabte, Maig 19 live on SHOWTIME as part of a split-site doubleheader telecast.

 

 

 

Campió mundial de pes pesat Gary Russell Jr.. will defend his WBC title against undefeated mandatory challenger Joseph “JoJo” Díaz Jr. en dissabte, Maig 19 in a clash live on SHOWTIME from MGM National Harbor in Maryland.

 

 

 

The other half of the split-site SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast will feature WBC Light Heavyweight World Champion Adonis Stevenson defensant el seu títol contra el campió del món de dues divisions Badou Jack in a main event from Canada presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

 

 

 

Tickets for the MGM National Harbor show, which is promoted by TGB Promotions in association with Golden Boy Promotions, ja estan a la venda i estan disponibles visitant-loshttp://mgmnationalharbor.com/.

 

 

 

Russell Jr. and Diaz Jr. have both had sensational professional and amateur careers, including representing the U.S. at two different Olympic Games – Russell in 2008 and Diaz in 2012. Russell is noted for having some of the fastest hands in boxing but will be tested by a young, hungry contender in his first world title fight.

 

 

 

“The featherweight division is one of the most talent laden in boxing and Gary Russell, Jr. is at the head of a class of terrific boxers at 126 lliura,” dir Tom Brown, de Promocions TGB. “José Díaz Jr. is young, hungry and undefeated and he’s coming for the title and he’s going to have to beat Russell in front of his hometown crowd to take it. It has the makings of an instant classic. Boxing fans will be the real winners on May 19.”

 

 

“SHOWTIME continues to deliver the most meaningful and action-packed fights in boxing, week after week,” va dir Stephen Espinoza, President, Sports and Event Programming for SHOWTIME. “Al maig 19, we have two events that demand top-billing, with world champions facing their toughest challengers in an international split-site doubleheader. Gary Russell and JoJo Diaz will meet in the latest of what has become a de facto featherweight tournament this spring on SHOWTIME. Over the next two months, SHOWTIME will deliver four pivotal matchups featuring three world champions and seven of the consensus top-10 featherweights in the world. Adonis Stevenson vs. Badou Jack is by far the biggest fight at light heavyweight in 2018, fellow 175-pound champs facing off in what has the makings of a lasting rivalry.”

 

 

 

The 29-year-old Russell (28-1, 17 KOs), who was born in Washington, D.C. and now lives in Capitol Heights, Maryland, will be defending his title before a hometown crowd. This will be Russell’s second straight fight at MGM National Harbor following his knock-out win over Oscar Escondon in his first title defense there on May 20, and second defense overall. It was his third straight knockout victory in a world title fight since dropping a majority decision to Vasyl Lomachenko in his first world title shot in 2014.

 

 

 

Russell, qui és entrenat pel seu pare, Gary, Sr., is part of a boxing family. Two of his younger brothers, Gary Antonio and Gary Antuanne, are currently unbeaten professionals, are also trained by their father and will be fighting on their older brother’s undercard on May 19.

 

 

 

“I don’t see this being a long night,” va dir Russell Jr. “If he gets reckless, it might end early. I don’t plan on going the distance with anyone I step in the ring with. I know he’s in for a rude awakening. I don’t feel as though he has the punching power, the hand speed or the ring IQ to do anything to me. At the end of the day he’ll have the opportunity to say he got in the ring with Mr. Gary Russell, Jr.

 

 

 

“It will be an early birthday gift for my Dad. Last year I fought on his birthday, Maig 20. Això està molt bé. I love fighting at the MGM. I love the convenience. I love that all my friends and fans, and the people who honk at me from their cars when I’m running can hop in their cars rather get on a plane to come and see me fight.”

 

 

 

Diaz Jr., who is also trained by his father, Joseph, Sr., was a two-time amateur national champion in the bantamweight division. He represented the U.S. al 2012 Olympic games in London. Immediately after, Díaz Jr. signed with Golden Boy Promotions and began a stellar career that has earned him a spot at the pinnacle of the featherweight division.

 

 

 

“I’m happy to be fighting for my first world title against the best 126-pound world champion,” said Diaz Jr. “I’ll prove to everyone that I belong on that featherweight throne come May 19.”

 

 

 

“I will be the bigger man come fight night, and I will break him down physically and mentally. He just better give me the credit I deserve once I beat him, and not blame his inactivity for being a factor in his loss.”

Això és el que els participants de la conferència de premsa van dir dijous des del Barclays Center de Brooklyn:

 

Adrien Broner

 

 

 

 

 

“Estic preparat per lluitar. No em preocupa Jessie. Aquesta és una lluita molt important per a la meva carrera. Sé que Jessie es va entrenar dur per vèncer-me. Aquesta és una victòria que ens pot portar a qualsevol de nosaltres al següent nivell. Estic a punt per lluitar ara mateix i per aconseguir-ho.

 

 

 

 

“Quan va fer un pas i va lluitar contra Tim Bradley i Manny Pacquiao, va perdre. Sóc quatre vegades campió del món, així que no vull saber res de les meves pèrdues. Jessie Vargas no és tan bona com els nois amb qui vaig perdre.

 

 

 

 

“Espero obtenir crèdit quan hagi vençut a Jessie Vargas. Espero obtenir el crèdit que em mereixo. La gent vol que perdi i me'n vagi, però endevineu què? Vaig treballar més que mai per aquesta lluita. No estic perdent davant Jessie Vargas. Sóc quatre vegades campió del món i aviat seré cinc vegades campió del món aquest any.

 

 

 

 

“Encara sóc un dels millors lluitadors d'aquesta època. Quan acabi la meva carrera, Seré un dels millors a lligar un parell de guants de boxa. No puc esperar per donar a tothom alguna cosa per recordar dissabte.

 

 

 

 

“Estar amb Kevin Cunningham al campament va canviar molt. Va trigar una estona a acostumar-s'hi. Aquest és el primer campament que faig des que era petit amb un nou entrenador. No hi havia distraccions al campament. Tot era feina, cap joc.

 

 

 

 

“Estic a un nivell diferent que ell. Ho demostraré dissabte. No em preocupa res de la negativitat que envolta el meu nom. Estic a punt per anar a fer un espectacle.

 

 

 

 

 

“Enguany em faig càrrec. Tot comença amb Jessie Vargas dissabte a la nit. Vaig a ser jo mateix, i fer un gran espectacle.”

 

JESSIE VARGAS

 

 

 

 

“Tot al camp d'entrenament ha anat fantàstic. No puc esperar per aquesta baralla. Això no és un joc. Estic aquí per guanyar i penso fer-ho. Això serà acció.

 

 

 

 

“He vist els errors que Broner ha comès en el passat. He de sortir i preocupar-me pel meu rendiment. Sóc versàtil i faré el que hagi de fer. Tots dos som antics campions del món, però al final del dia només hi haurà un guanyador, i seré jo.

 

 

 

 

“Crec que tinc un avantatge sent el lluitador més alt i fort. Sóc un pes welter adult. Estic preparat per a la victòria.

 

 

 

 

“Tots dos aportem experiència i tots dos som nois amb talent. Sens dubte, oferirem entreteniment als aficionats dissabte a la nit. Estic en una gran part de la meva carrera perquè no he rebut tant de càstig. Sóc campió del món de dues divisions per una raó.

 

 

 

 

 

“El meu pes ha estat en aquest campament. La meva nutricionista ha fet una gran feina i demà seré perfecte a l'escala. Tot el meu equip ha estat perfecte i us portarà a la millor Jessie Vargas que heu vist mai dissabte..

 

 

 

 

 

“Dissabte a la nit serà un gran espectacle. És una gran carta i després l'esdeveniment principal serà tots els focs artificials. Vine i gaudeix d'una gran nit de boxa i veu'm guanyar la victòria.”

 

Charlo JERMALL

 

 

 

 

“Vull fer una declaració dissabte a la nit. He estat entrenant dur des de la meva última lluita. Vaig prometre als meus fans alguna cosa que recordaran d'aquesta lluita. Haureu d'esperar i veureu.

 

 

 

 

 

“Un cop em passos davant meu, és una baralla. Cada cop poso la meva vida en perill. Només estic esperant coses encara més grans que tinc al davant. Dono als aficionats alguna cosa especial per emportar-se a casa de la meva actuació.

 

 

 

 

“Em sento molt bé ara mateix. Va ser un altre d'aquells campaments que vaig poder començar aviat i entrar aviat al gimnàs. Puc fer el que necessitis al ring. Estic preparat per fer d'aquesta lluita tot focs artificials.

 

 

 

 

 

“Faig moltes coses bones al campament per fer-me sentir més fort. Va ser una mica dur amb el retard, però res que no hagi pogut treballar. Estic en pes ara mateix tan lluny. Tinc un gran equip que m'ha ajudat a arribar-hi.

 

 

 

 

 

“Estic centrat en el que estic passant. Hugo creu que l'estic passant per alt, però això no passa gens. Vull treure'l i fer una declaració que estic preparat per als grans noms de la divisió.

 

 

 

 

 

“Anem a aixecar Brooklyn. Realment vull fer una declaració. No importa com em senti durant tota la lluita, ho farem rock.”

 

HUGO CENTENO JR.

 

“Tinc la sensació que se m'està passant per alt. No he estat capaç de fer-me un nom familiar en estar en aquestes plataformes. Vinga l'abril 21, Vaig a donar a conèixer el meu nom.

 

 

 

 

“La lesió a la costella va ser difícil de suportar al principi. Estàvem molt a prop del final, però un cop vaig reprendre l'entrenament, Jo ja estava en condicions fenomenals. Em va portar a un altre nivell i ara estic en les millors condicions de la meva vida.

 

 

 

 

“Em sento perfecte ara mateix dirigint-me a aquesta lluita. Vam tenir un gran sparring al campament i estic preparat per entrar al ring.

 

 

 

 

 

“Fins i tot estar en aquesta posició demostra a la gent que m'he guanyat el camí fins aquí. Ningú m'ha lliurat res. Aquesta és una de les divisions més difícils del món i sóc aquí per una raó. Aquesta baralla significa el món per a mi. Ha sigut 20 anys d'esforç reunint-se dissabte.

 

 

 

 

“Sé que Charlo ve a lluitar, i definitivament vinc a lluitar. No importa quina sigui l'estratègia o l'estil, Estaré preparat per a qualsevol cosa que se'm vegi.

 

 

 

 

“Espero que surti fort. Sabem que està buscant un nocaut. Però crec que si no té l'oportunitat, es reduirà a qui és el lluitador més intel·ligent.”

 

GERVONTA DAVIS

 

 

 

 

 

“Dissabte a la nit podeu esperar una lluita plena d'acció. Sé que Cuéllar vindrà a lluitar. Definitivament vinc a lluitar. Estic preparat per reprendre on ho vaig deixar, de nou com a campió.

 

 

 

 

 

“Vaig tenir moltes distraccions el darrer campament que em van fer perdre pes. A partir d'aquell dia em vaig centrar a tornar a un títol mundial. Vaig decepcionar la gent quan vaig perdre el títol a l'escala, però ara estic més concentrat.

 

 

 

 

 

“Va ser fantàstic estar al campament a Florida en comptes de tornar a casa a Baltimore. D'aquesta manera, només em preocupa la boxa cada dia. Estic menjant bé i realment just 100 per cent centrat en la boxa. Va ser una gran jugada i es veurà dissabte.

 

 

 

 

 

“Tinc les habilitats i el carisma per estar al capdavant de l'esport. Només necessito els oponents adequats, però no ho vaig a pressa. He de prendre decisions intel·ligents en aquest esport per arribar on vull. Vull continuar fent grans actuacions.

 

 

 

 

 

“Crec que aquesta lluita em tornarà a situar al mapa com una de les estrelles en ascens més joves de la boxa. Crec que tinc les habilitats per fer-ho.

 

 

 

 

 

“He estat entrenant molt amb l'Adrien al campament. Ens hem estat empenyent els uns als altres i només vull poder mirar enrere aquesta lluita i poder dir que aquesta va ser una de les meves millors actuacions. Vull demostrar que tinc les habilitats i la capacitat per fer-me càrrec de l'esport de la boxa.”

 

JESUS ​​CUELLAR

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Entenc que Davis és un gran oponent, però dins del ring, només serem nosaltres dos, anar de peu a peu. Sé que serà una gran lluita.

 

 

 

 

 

“Tot això serà acció. Espereu veure una guerra amb mi aixecant la mà al final de la nit. Faré el que calgui.

 

 

 

 

 

“El pla és sortir allà i guanyar aquest cinturó. Hem tingut un gran entrenament i entrenament per aconseguir-nos aquesta posició. Els meus entrenadors van treballar molt dur per preparar-me.

 

 

 

 

 

“Aquesta baralla és molt important per a mi. Vull ser campió del món de dues divisions i tinc l'oportunitat que esperava dissabte a la nit.

 

 

 

 

 

“Crec que vaig prendre la decisió correcta per allunyar-me de la boxa. Ara he tornat més fort que mai. Em sento molt bé i tothom ho veurà dissabte a la nit.

 

 

 

 

 

“Tenim un pla de joc i ho farem. Seré agressiu com sempre, però també mostrar algunes coses noves que he treballat.

 

 

 

 

“Estic llest per anar 12 rondes si és necessari, però si tinc l'oportunitat d'hora per a un nocaut, Vaig a prendre-ho. Estic aquí per donar-ho tot i guanyar aquesta lluita, això és tot.”

 

HEATHER HARDY

 

 

 

 

 

“Realment no hi ha res com lluitar a casa. Tan emocionant com era estar a la gàbia, això és com estar al meu pati del darrere.

 

 

 

 

 

“Sempre és un somni boxejar al Barclays Center i no hi ha res com estar aquí davant la meva gent. Espero que el meu oponent hagi entrenat dur perquè estic preparat per barallar-me.

 

 

 

 

 

“Estic molt emocionat de tornar a treballar en les meves habilitats de boxa. No puc esperar per oferir als meus fans un gran espectacle. Saben que sempre ho dono tot i ho deixo al ring. Donaré als meus fans el valor dels seus diners.”

 

LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO de Mayweather Promotions

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Dissabte a la nit tenim la carta de boxa més gran i dolenta de tot l'esport. Serà un gran esdeveniment aquí davant dels apassionats fans de la boxa de Brooklyn.

 

 

 

 

 

“L'esdeveniment principal té el campió de quatre divisions Broner enfrontant-se al campió de dues divisions Vargas, en una lluita que significa molt per als dos lluitadors.

 

 

 

 

 

 

“A més, Jermall Charlo s'enfrontarà a Hugo Centeno en una gran lluita de pes mitjà per mirar d'establir-se com a contendents a la classe de pes mitjà amb estrelles..

 

 

 

 

 

“L'iniciador de la nostra retransmissió tindrà una superestrella en ascens de la boxa a Gervonta Davis, lluitant contra l'antic campió del món Jesús Cuéllar en una entretinguda lluita pel títol mundial. Això és el que es tracta la boxa. És molt bo la boxa aquí a Brooklyn.”

 

Lou DiBella, El president de DiBella Entertainment

 

 

 

 

 

“Aquesta és una gran carta de lluita. Per això es venen entrades. Hi ha moltes estrelles emergents en aquesta tarima. Va ser creat per ser una gran boxa televisiva, i per això dissabte tindrem una sala plena.

 

 

 

 

 

“Barclays Center és realment la llar de la boxa de grans dimensions. Aquest és el lloc amb més dedicació a un programa habitual de boxa i ho veus amb les grans baralles que vénen aquí mes rere mes.

 

 

 

 

 

“Aquesta targeta s'apila de dalt a baix. La targeta de fons fora de la televisió és sensacional i compta amb un munt de talent invicte. Heather Hardy tornarà després de dos partits consecutius a la gàbia per tornar al ring en aquest programa. Estem aquí per oferir als fans el millor que podem durant tota la nit.

 

 

 

 

 

“El primer combat televisat de la nit té Gervonta Davis, una de les joves estrelles emergents de l'esport, va pel seu segon títol mundial. Està lluitant contra un antic campió del món a Jesús Cuéllar, que és un noi consumat per dret propi. Gervonta té les mans plenes, però dissabte tindrà molts fans de Maryland que li donen suport.

 

 

 

 

 

“Hi ha molta acció i polèmica a la divisió de pes mitjà. Jermall Charlo podria ser el punxador més dur d'aquesta divisió. Ell i el seu germà podrien ser ja els bessons més aconseguits de la història de la boxa. Té un enfrontament difícil perquè Hugo Centeno Jr. també és un jove lluitador fantàstic amb poder i una gran capacitat de boxa. Té potencial estrella si aconsegueix superar aquest obstacle contra Charlo.

 

 

 

 

 

“Adrien Broner és un boxejador molt hàbil, que té poder d'estrelles i crida molt l'atenció. No has de ser estimat per tothom, has de que la gent vulgui veure't. Molta gent vol veure a Adrien Broner. El veuran en una dura lluita dissabte a la nit. Jessie Vargas ja és dues vegades campiona del món, que ha tingut una carrera fantàstica i, sens dubte, serà el noi més gran i fort dissabte. L'Adrien sap que tot està en joc el dissabte a la nit.”

 

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, President Esports & Programació d'esdeveniments, Showtime Sports Inc.

 

 

 

 

 

“SHOWTIME La boxa es troba enmig d'una carrera sense precedents. Ha estat una lluita significativa rere una lluita significativa.

 

 

 

 

 

“Al gener vam fer un anunci sense precedents 11 esdeveniments d'aquesta primera part de l'any. No estic segur que cap xarxa hagi fet tants esdeveniments aquest any.

 

 

 

 

 

“Barclays Center, com SHOWTIME, s'ha convertit en la llar de les baralles més significatives de l'esport. Això no passa per casualitat. Aquesta és una estratègia intencionada. És un pla per promoure i elevar l'esport i el seu’ lluitadors a altures que no hem vist abans. Hem fet un esforç real per elevar aquest esport.

 

 

 

 

 

“La targeta apilada de dissabte té tres enfrontaments imprescindibles. Aquests són lluitadors estrella contra batalles d'estrelles. No hi ha "no-noms".’ en això. Els sis lluitadors d'aquí tenen lluites encapçalades. Aquestes baralles són tan bones com qualsevol carta que recordi.”

 

BRETT Yormark, CEO de Brooklyn Sports & Entreteniment

 

 

 

 

 

“Estic emocionat amb les baralles de dissabte a la nit. Està ple de dalt a baix i hauria de ser una gran nit de BROOKLYN BOXING. És un gran tripleheader i en molts aspectes això defineix la boxa de Brooklyn. Lluites igualades, les estrelles més grans de l'esport, alguns establerts i altres en augment. Tens una mica de tot aquest cap de setmana

 

 

 

 

 

“Estem molt emocionats de tenir Heather Hardy de tornada al Barclays Center dissabte després d'algunes baralles a MMA.. És boxejadora i no podem esperar a tenir-la aquí aquest cap de setmana.

 

 

 

 

 

“Moltes gràcies a tots els que han ajudat a establir BROOKLYN BOXING i han estat socis amb nosaltres aquí a Brooklyn. Tots els implicats continuen augmentant l'esport i us esperem dissabte a la nit. Les entrades es mouen i aquesta podria ser una de les baralles més grans que hem tingut mai al Barclays Center.”

Back to the future with Hall of Famer Virgil Hill

Leave a comment

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado (Abril 20, 2018) —

Virgil “Quicksilver” Pujol has gone back to the future, parlaying what he learned as an amateur boxer into a Olympic silver medal, five world titles in two weight class, entrada al Saló de la Fama de la Boxa Internacional (IBHOF), and now giving back as a Los Angeles-based boxing coach and invaluable member of the USA Boxing Alumni Association.

 

 

 

 

“Winning the WBA (Associació Mundial de Boxa) i IBF (Federació Internacional de Boxa) world titles were all big.” Hill spoke about his greatest boxing achievement, “But the Olympics come around every four years with only one guy from each country, if that, in each weight class. It’s very difficult. I had competed against some of the best athletes in the world, right here in the United States, preparing to represent our country in the Olympics against the best in the world. We sparred each other at camp. US fighters all have a target on their backs.

 

 

 

 

“I fought in 10 different countries that year (1984), but the best Olympics ever was held here in Los Angeles. Half of our team went on to become world champions as pro fighters and three are in the Hall of Fame (Pujol, Evander Holyfield i Pernell Whitaker). I wasn’t picked to win a medal in my class. I should have won a gold medal but lost in the final (divisió de pes mitjà) to a Korean fighter (Shin Joon-Sup, 2-3). Losing was tough but the opportunity to be on the US Olympic Boxing Team was the highlight of my boxing career, even more so than winning my world titles.”

 

 

 

 

Hill grew up on a ranch in North Dakota. He watched the Golden Gloves on television and asked his father if he could learn to box. His response was, maybe if we move to a city. “Enrecordar,” Hill noted, “a city for me back then was only 50,000 gent. We did move to Grand Forks and my father asked me if I still wanted to box. He brought me to a local gym when I was eight and I started training right away.”

 

 

 

 

After capturing a gold medal at the 1984 Guants d'Or Nacionals Torneig, Hill went to the USA Boxing training facility, where he learned a lot being around so many different people and boxing styles. Although he’s part Puerto-Rican, Hill is a Native-American who grew up in a predominantly German and Norwegian state (Dakota del Nord).

 

 

 

 

“There were not many blacks or Latinos,” Hill admitted. “We grew up poor, but not ghetto poor. Vaig aprendre molt. My roommate (at USA Boxing’s training facility) was a 106-pound Puerto-Rican from New Jersey, Jose Lazario. Jose took me for a haircut one day and, when I went back to North Dakota, I had a bounce in my step and people there were all looking at my haircut. Evander Holyfield taught me how to iron. He wouldn’t go with me to the mall unless I ironed my jeans. I sat and listened to know what to expect.”

 

 

 

 

Hill completed his amateur career with an incredible 288-11 registre, married a woman who was on the U.S. Olympic Track & Field Team, Denean Howard (two-time gold and two-time silver medalist), and turned professional November 15, 1984, parada Arthur Wright in the second round at famed Madison Square Garden.

 

 

 

 

He had moved to Las Vegas to train with legendary trainer, Eddie Futch, i el seu assistent, Freddie Roach. “I was on my own for the first time,” Hill explained. “They were good role models who prepared me to be a pro boxer, as well as for life.

 

 

 

 

Hill fought professionally until 2015, guanyadora 51 de 58 baralles com a professional, 24 per nocaut, with only seven losses. Va guanyar la seva primera 30 baralles com a professional, including a fourth-round win by technical knockout of Leslie Stewart en el seu 19º pro fight to capture the WBA world light heavyweight title. Hill made 10 successful WBA title defenses, including eight in Bismarck, Dakota del Nord, before losing for the first time as a pro in 1991 to future Hal of Famer Tommy Hearns.

 

 

 

 

 

Hill later recaptured the WBA world light heavyweight crown and he eventually added the IBF world light heavyweight title, in addition to becoming three-time WBA cruiserweight world champion. He retired in 2007 and then make a one-fight comeback February 28, 2015, parada Jimmy Campbell in the second round in Bismarck, marking Hill’s final fight.

 

 

 

 

During his remarkable pro career, Hill had a 24-5 (7 KOs) world title fight record, including victories over Stewart, Marvin Camel, Adolpho Washington, Lou Del Valle, Donny Lalond, Bobby Czyz, Fabrice Tiozzo (dues vegades), Henry Maske and Hill’s 1984 US Olympic teammate, Frank Tate (dues vegades).

 

 

 

 

Hill remains in boxing as a trainer and occasionally a co-promotes pro-am shows in North Dakota. In Los Angeles, Hill currently trains one pro and nine amateurs. “I love being a trainer,” Hill exclaimed. “There are some special kids, the real athletic ones, but it’s the others that often make it for me. Those who aren’t as athletic and really need to work hard. Once you get a few of the kids working hard, the rest follow in line. This isn’t a democracy; it’s a dictatorship and I push ’em hard. Our LBC has 180 fights a year. I do all the matching and, if they’re in too tough, I top the fight. It’s not about winning and losing. It’s striving to be better, disciplina, accomplishments and competition.

 

 

 

 

“The Elite boxers are moving on to the next level, establishing themselves to make a name and enter the pros. Ninety-five percent of the others aren’t. Boxing is still a poor man’s sport and sometimes the only option for some of these kids have is boxing. And boxing is still a very dangerous, unforgiving sport. The sky’s the limited, good and bad, for these kids. Boxing occupies their time. Some kids need more encouragement, others need to believe more in themselves. This is where they come from and who they become.”

 

 

 

 

Not only is Hill giving back as a coach, he’s key member of and spokesperson for the USA Boxing Alumni Association.

 

 

 

 

“I’m happy to be involved,” Hill talked about his back to the future journey in boxing. “It’s about time we had an alumni organization. Only the top three-percent of boxers make it big. It’s great watching everybody mix and mingle at alumni gatherings. This is about respect for each other; it’s a kinship.”

Below is what Frampton, Donaire and their respective trainers had to say at today’s press conference:

 

Carl Frampton

“I’m really excited about this fight and I have been since it was announced. To have a guy like Nonito Donaire coming to Belfast to fight me almost feels like a bit of an honor. It’s a quality fight.

 

 

 

 

“It’s a cliché when fighters talk about how good their camp has been, but I genuinely believe that the camp that I’ve had has been the best camp because it’s been my smartest camp. I’ve had a completely different approach to training. I don’t remember having a bad day in training or sparring. I feel like everything is coming together and I’m ready to put on a big performance in front of my home crowd.

 

 

 

 

“I had a lot of respect for Donaire back when he was a champion and I still do. He’s a quality fighter. In terms of accolades, he’s accomplished more than any other fighter that I’ve ever fought. He’s a future Hall of Famer. Hopefully I can put myself in that bracket one day. He is the best fighter that I will have ever fought. That includes Leo Santa Cruz and [De Scott] Quigg and everyone else. Donaire has accomplished more than anyone. It’s going to be big for me to get a result here on Saturday night.

 

 

 

 

“I think it’s been a bit disrespectful just talking about his left hook. It takes more than a left hook to become a Ring Magazine Fighter of the Year or five-time world champion. He has a brilliant slip right hand. I know a lot about Nonito Donaire and to say all he has is a left hook is a bit disrespectful. He’s a brilliant fighter and he can do a bit of everything. I’ll need to be ready for different situations and I feel like I’ve covered all the bases in training camp.

 

 

 

 

“Some people want the easiest fights possible but that’s not me. I don’t think that’s Nonito either. I want to be in fights that people talk about and are interested in. This is a fight that puts the winner in position to fight Oscar Valdez for a chance to be a world champion again. When I’m in that position to fight for a world title, it’s fights like this one that are preparing me to go and win it.”

 

Nonito Donaire

“It’s been amazing being here, just as it was the last time. Everybody has been fantastic. Belfast has been a great experience overall. The people have been really warm to my entire team and we’re all having a great time being here.

 

 

 

 

“I believe that I am gifted with great genes. I’m a late bloomer. I feel like I’m starting to get into my peak shape and that’s because of my mentality. Our physical shape can only be as strong as our minds inside that ring. The strength of our mental fortitude has allowed us to be confident here in Belfast where we will be fighting one of the best fighters in the world.

 

 

 

 

“I think I’m a smarter fighter than I was in 2012. With the ups and downs that I’ve experienced in my career, I’ve learned what I’m capable of and where my mind is. We’re very confident going into this fight.

 

 

 

 

“The key factor in this fight is that my wife and I feel that we’re married to Carl because we wake up, we see Carl; we sleep, we see Carl; everything we do we see Carl, so that’s pretty much what it’s all about. He de dir, Carl is an amazing fighter. I have to give it to the guy. For a long time, he was the boogeyman in boxing. He has chosen this fight because it inspires him and I came to Belfast because it inspires me.”

 

Jamie Moore, Carl Frampton’s Trainer

“Last time around, it was a bit of a rushed training camp. We could have benefited from a couple of weeks extra. We’ve taken on a few different changes this time. We’ve done altitude training and taken on a scientific approach.

 

 

 

 

“Carl is in fantastic shape. He’s gradually built up his fitness. The altitude work has been brilliant. Even though the last camp wasn’t bad, this one is by far so much better. He’s in much better condition than last fight and mentally, he’s in a great place.”

 

Mike Bazzel, Nonito Donaire’s Head Trainer

“Nonito has the experience of being on top for so long. When you are at the top for so long, there are always going to be little drops and little valleys. There’s a maturity with Nonito. Most fighters at this stage of their career have a physical decline. Nonito’s body is starting to come into form now. So now, he is not only physically peaking, but he is mentally strong because of all the experience he has.”
