Leave a comment

SAN FRANCISCO, TAL COM (Abril 9, 2018) – Prince Ranch boxa (PRB) is happy to announce the signing of undefeated flyweight contender, Casey “The Lady Hawaiian Punch” Morton(7-0-3, 1 KO). Morton joins a stellar group of fighters under the (PRB) management team, que inclouen Damien “Sucre” Vázquez (13-0, 7 KOs), Blair “El Flair” Cobbs (8-0-1, 6 KOs) i Issac “Canelito” Avlar (14-0, 9 KOs) per nomenar uns quants.

 

 

 

 

“After signing with Greg Hannley and Prince Ranch Boxing, I feel my career is headed in the right direction,” said Casey Morton, of San Francisco by way of Honolulu, Hawaii. “I’m going to take full advantage every opportunity that comes my way. I’m hungry to get to the top and I’m hoping to be fighting for a world title by the end of the year.”

 

 

 

“Casey is a sensational fighter with a great team behind her,” declarat Greg Hannely, president de (PRB). “In addition to her tremendous fighting talent, she’s also got the image to transcend across all aspects of multimedia. She’s knocking on the doorstep of a world title and we want to get her in back in the ring as soon as possible.”

 

 

 

Morton, who trains out of the SNAC Research & Training Facility owned by Victor Conte, is coached by Nonito Donaire Sr., father of 2012 Boxejador de l'Any, Nonito Donaire Jr. Morton and Donaire Sr. have two fights together, and she couldn’t be happier.

 

 

 

“Working with Nonito Sr. has been a tremendous blessing to my career,” Morton continued. “Although we’ve only been together for a couple of fights, I’ve learned so much in that short period of time. I’m starting to sit down on my punches, which has added a significant amount of power to my punches. We are working great together.”

 

 

 

In her last fight on March 25, 2018, Morton, with Donaire Sr. in her corner, traveled to Manila, Filipines, and captured the OMB Àsia Pacífic títol, winning by a shutout unanimous decision against Nongmuay Kokietgym (13-4-3).

 

 

 

“I have a tremendous team behind me,” Morton concluded. “I want to thank Victor Conte, Nonito Donaire Sr., all my family and friends, and last by not least, Greg Hannley for supporting me on my journey to become a world champion. I give all credit to God for my blessed career.”

al “gel” Col & “Nadó” Joe Mesi va ser honrat d’incorporar-se al Saló de la Fama de la Boxa de l’Estat de Nova York

Leave a comment

Diumenge, Abril 29, Sopar Inducció

Kid Xocolata, James J. Corbett, Jack McAuliffe, Sam Taub, Bob & Murray Goodman encapçala la nova classe

NOVA YORK (Abril 9, 2018) – Ex campió del món de pes creuer al “gel” Col i l'invicte, No.; 1 contendent de pes pesat “Nadó” Joe Mesi tots dos són extremadament honrats i agraïts de ser inclosos, conjuntament amb 21 altres de la classe de 2018, al New York State Hall of Fame (NYSBHOF).

 

 

 

es durà a terme el sopar d'inducció NYSBHOF anual setè diumenge tarda (12:30-5:30 p.m. I), Abril 29, una vegada més a Russo’s On The Bay, a Howard Beach, Nova York.

 

 

Col (35-16-3, 16 KOs), que és del comtat de Rockland, va lluitar entre professionals 1989 i 2011, va guanyar el seu primer 15 i 27 de la seva inicial 28 baralles com a professional. Va capturar la Federació Internacional de Boxa (FIB) Campionat del Món de Creuers a Barcelona 1992, quan va guanyar una decisió unànime de 12 rondes sobre James Warring (14-1). Cole va defensar quatre títols mundials amb èxit abans de passar al pes pesat.

 

 

 

 

 

“Sabia que entraria un dia i em sento honrat d’incorporar-me al Saló de la Fama de la Boxa de l’Estat de Nova York, sobretot amb aquesta classe perquè conec alguns altres combatents com Lou Del Valle i Terrance Alli.” Va dir Cole. “Se’m coneixia per agradar a la multitud, lluitador emocionant, i la gent que m’observava sempre sabia que estaria en una bona lluita amb bons intercanvis. Vaig lluitar a l'ombra de (Micro) Tyson i Roy (Jones. Jr.).

 

 

 

“Vaig lluitar a l'exèrcit amb Ray Mercer, va picar Evander Holyfield en combats. La meva millor lluita, encara que, em fa més mal. Vaig ser tan agut contra un lluitador del gimnàs Kronk, Vincent Boulware, en la meva tercera defensa del títol mundial aquell any (1993). Boulware havia guanyat sis dels seus últims set combats amb quatre eliminatòries i jo només m’estava convertint en un nom decent, Si el guanyo, Se suposa que hauria de lluitar contra Tommy Hearns o Iran Barkley, que tots dos pujaven al pes creuer. Vaig tenir la millor lluita de la meva carrera, però no vaig poder aconseguir que cap dels altres campions mundials de pes creuer lluités amb mi. Només vaig tenir quatre baralles en els propers tres anys. Vaig passar al pes pesat perquè els mateixos nois que vaig vèncer quan eren el meu rival obligatori (Uriah Grant & Nate Miller) van tornar a la posició obligatòria.”

 

 

 

Cole va créixer a Atlantic City, on va lluitar 18 vegades, i va conèixer un propietari de casino, Donald Trump. “Vam passar l’estona,” Cole es va recordar. “Trump em va convidar a algunes de les seves festes privades. Mai no vaig pensar que seria president!”.

 

 

 

El meujo (36-0, 29 KOs) era tan popular a Buffalo, era considerat la tercera franquícia esportiva de la ciutat de Nova York (Factures i sabres). Un aficionat nord-americà de primera categoria, “Baby Joe” va lluitar professionalment entre 1997 i 2007, acumulant 36 victòries sense derrota, no obstant això, mai va rebre un títol mundial per un problema mèdic. Classificat com a alt al núm. 1 pel Consell Mundial de Boxa (CMB) Mesi va ser suspès per la Comissió de Nevada, després de derrotar l'excampió del món Vassily Jirov mitjançant una decisió unànime de 10 rodes, a causa d’una lesió al cap (sagnats cerebrals).

 

 

 

Mesi estava pràcticament a la llista negra de boxa, perdent dos anys complerts al ring, mentre perseguia accions legals per obtenir una nova llicència, que finalment va ser però només per unes poques comissions. Joe va lluitar set vegades després de tornar a obtenir la llicència, però, malauradament, era limitat pel que fa a on podia lluitar, i mai no va recuperar l’estatus elevat que havia ocupat una vegada. A més de Jirov, Mesi va derrotar a notables com Monte Barrett, DeVarryl Williamson i Jorge Luis González.

 

 

 

“Aquest és un gran moment per a mi,” Mesi va comentar sobre la seva propera incorporació. “Estic humiliat i honrat d’anar al mateix Saló de la Fama amb els grans noms que ja hi són. Ara mateix ho estic sucant tot.

 

 

 

“M’han tret una mica de la boxa, però només s’acaba el negoci. Encara sóc un gran aficionat a la boxa i segueixo l’esport. Avui, Estic casat amb tres fills i em veno aparells mèdics per guanyar-me la vida. La boxa segueix sent la meva passió, amor meu, i des que vaig rebre la trucada (que va al NYSBHOF), He estat pensant en tots els records. M’agradaria fer més anuncis de televisió a la boxa i, potser algun dia, entrar a promocionar. Tinc moltes ganes de la cerimònia d’inici de la sala de la fama de la boxa de l’estat de Nova York.”

JARRETT HURD UNIFIES THE 154-POUND DIVISION WITH SPLIT DECISION OVER ERISLANDY LARA IN ACTION PACKED FIGHT SATURDAY ON SHOWTIME® FROM HARD ROCK HOTEL & Casino a Las Vegas

James DeGale Earns Back IBF Super Middleweight World Championship With Unanimous Decision In Rematch With Caleb Truax

LAS VEGAS (Abril 7, 2018) – Jarrett Hurd unified the 154-pound division with a 12-round split-decision victory over Erislandy Lara in an all-action fight Saturday on SHOWTIME before a sold-out crowd of 2,579 at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

 

 

 

 

Hurd (22-0, 15 KOs), who entered as IBF Champion, dethroned WBA Champion in just the seventh unification in division history. The difference in the Fight of the Year candidate was a short left hook that floored Lara in the final minute of the fight. Had the 27-year-old Hurd not scored the knockdown, the fight would have been ruled a majority draw.

 

 

 

 

“It was a tough one, but I went out there and did exactly what I said I was going to do – fight all 12 rounds and get the victory,”Hurd va dir. “I didn’t feel like that (I needed the knockdown). I feel like I was in control the whole fight, applying the pressure.

 

 

 

 

“I don’t think it had anything to do with age. I think it was me and the game plan we had to apply the pressure.”

 

 

 

 

Following the thrilling bout, SHOWTIME Sports reporter Jim Gray asked Hurd if he’d like to face WBC 154-pound champion Jermell Charlo, who was ringside, to further unify the division.

 

 

 

 

“’Swift’ isn’t ducking anyone,” Hurd responded. “I’m No. 1 ara. We’re calling the shots.”

 

 

 

 

Hurd applied relentless pressure from the opening round, pressing forward against the crafty southpaw. He pounded the body, yet often neglected defense and ate punishing counter shots for 11 rondes. But the difference for Lara (25-3-2, 14 KOs), who was making the seventh defense of his title, was the brutal 12º ronda. With blood seeping from a swollen right eye, Hurd connected on a short left hook that floored Lara for the first time in nearly five years.

 

 

 

 

“Besides the last round, I thought I was winning this fight easily,” Lara said. “That’s not to decide the fight. Jo estava guanyant la baralla. One punch in a fight doesn’t determine the fight.

 

 

 

 

“Va ser una gran baralla per als aficionats. I stood there, fought and it was fun. I thought I clearly won the fight. Once again a decision goes against me, but h​ey we just have to do the rematch.”

 

 

 

 

Entering the fight, Charlo was the consensus No. 1 fighter at 154-pounds. He stated his case for a chance to unify against Hurd.

 

 

 

 

“I’m down. Anem. We want that work,” Charlo told SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING host Brian Custer. “I feel Hurd only took the fight with Lara because he realized the harder fight is with Jermell Charlo.

 

 

 

 

“We’ve been there before with Lara. I know what he possesses. Hurd has to get his defense together because he cannot get hit like that by me. Lara doesn’t move like he used to. If he moves like he used to he wins that fight.”

 

James DeGale earned back the IBF Super Middleweight World Championship with a unanimous decision in a rematch with Caleb Truax, taking back the title he lost last December in the near-universal upset of the year.

 

 

 

 

The 12-round championship affair was scored 117-110 i 114-113 dues vegades. Degale, who was deducted a point in the 10º for pushing, won the championship rounds – 11 i 12 – on all three judges’ scorecards to win the decision.

 

 

 

 

“Two-time world champion. Se sent molt bé,", va dir DeGale. “But full credit to Caleb – he shows he can mix it with the top fighters.

 

 

 

 

“I’m just happy that I’m a two time world champion and I got my IBF world title back. He tornat, Team Chunky, we’re back. Two-and-a-half years I had it and I lost it to Caleb. He embarrassed me, but we’re back.”

 

 

 

 

Degale (24-2-1, 14 KOs) overcame a massive cut from an accidental head butt in the third, which was mistakenly ruled as the result of a punch from referee Robert Byrd.

 

 

 

 

“I couldn’t see from my right eye, DeGale said. “I like Robert Byrd (referee), but today he was a bit wrong. I couldn’t see. But I’m just glad I got through it. I showed some heart. En la meva última baralla, I was like a weak little kid.”

 

 

 

 

DeGale connected on 37 percentatge dels seus cops de poder en comparació amb 28 percent for Truax. He now returns to London a world champion with some massive potential fights in the future.

 

 

 

 

“I want to be busy,", va dir DeGale. “I have a couple years left in this sport.”

 

 

 

 

Truax (29-4-2, 18 KOs), who fought for the first time as a world champion, was disappointed and advocated for a rematch after the scores were announced.

 

 

 

 

“I thought I did enough to win the fight, but I also thought I was pretty flat and didn’t get my shots off like I wanted,” Truax said. “I was just a little bit flat. I felt really good coming in but I just couldn’t get my shots off like the last fight. El mai em va fer mal, però és el que és.

 

 

 

 

“I gave him a rematch straight away so why not do it again.”

 

 

 

 

In the opening bout of the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING tripleheader, Julian Williams scored a career-best win, defeating Nathaniel Gallimore via majority decision in an IBF Junior Middleweight World Title eliminator. Williams, who edge Gallimore 116-112, 117-110, 114-114, is now in position to challenge Jarrett Hurd.

 

 

 

 

Williams (25-1-1, 15 KOs) set the pace with a strong left jab in the opening rounds of the fight, keeping Gallimore at bay and the action on the outside. That changed around the fifth round as Williams abandoned the jab and the fight moved to the inside. Williams had his best round in the 11º, connecting on a massive left hand that set up a barrage of combos that nearly had Gallimore out on his feet. Gallimore (20-2-1, 17 KOs) survived the round, and Williams wasn’t able the finish him in the 12º, but it was clear Williams deserved the decision.

 

 

 

 

“I wasn’t surprised a judge had a draw,” Williams said. “Sometimes when you’re fighting real close like that, it is hard for judges to score. I knew I won. Once I heard 116-112 i 117-111, I knew I won because I knew he didn’t win eight rounds.

 

 

 

 

“He is a strong fighter, but I knew he was going to do what he did. Start strong early, but I knew he wasn’t strong after six rounds.

 

 

 

 

“The hits to the body was all in the game plan. You have to go to the body in a 12 round fight.”

 

 

 

 

Williams connected on 50 percent of his power shots and landed 37 per cent dels seus cops totals.

 

 

 

 

 

“I didn’t really think I won the fight,” Gallimore admitted. “I just let too many early rounds go. I just gave him too many rounds. I had him hurt a couple of times, but he was tough. I should have done more combinations. I will look at the fight and review it, and will make adjustments.”

 

 

 

 

Saturday’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast will replay on Monday at 10 p.m. ET / PT a SHOWTIME EXTREME.

Leave a comment

Ponce, Port Ric – Former Dominican Olympian Lenin Castillo (18-1-1, 13 Nocauts) won the WBO/NABO vacant light heavyweight title in impressive fashion. Castillo defeated Aaron “Homicide” Mitchell (27-3-1, 21 Nocauts) of Florida by way of technical knockout in the 10th and final round.

 

 

 

 

As a result of the victory, Castillo will now be ranked among the best 175 pound fighters in the WBO.

 

 

 

 

The fight was televised by DIRECTV PR as part of a card promoted by Miguel Cotto Promotions at the Complejo Ferial, Ponce, PR.

 

 

 

 

“I am very grateful to my manager Raúl Pastrana from Spartan Boxing Club, Miguel Cotto Promotions and the WBO for making this fight possible with an important title at stake that will place me among the best fighters of my weight,” va dir Castell, “This victory is for my Dominican people, el meu pare, my mom and also for the Puerto Ricans who made me feel at home since I arrived on the island for the fight”.

 

 

 

 

“I prepared myself to the max and these are the results of working hard in the gym. Since I landed a good shot at Mitchell, he decided to survive the whole fight and did not let me use everything I had saved for him. But the important thing was that we won all the rounds without losing concentration”, expressed Castillo, who was training in Florida under the supervision of Maury Ramos of KMJ with the assistance of Chiro Pérez from 5th St Gym.

GH3 Promotions fighters shine in Philly!

Leave a comment

Nutley, Nova Jersey (Abril 6, 2018)-Two of GH3 Promotions top fighters remained undefeated last Friday night at The Fillmore in Philadelphia.

 

 

 

Supermediano Ronald Ellis won a six-round unanimous decision over Taneal Goyco, mentre Joey Alday, Jr. kept his perfect knockout record intact by stopping Michael Crain in the 3rd round of their junior middleweight bout.

 

 

 

Ellis battered the upset-specialist Goyco for much of the fight, and almost had the tough Philadelphian stopped several times during the fight. Ellis de Lynn, Massachusetts cruised home by with the victory by scores of 60-53 dues vegades i 59-54 per elevar la seva marca a 15-0-2.

 

 

 

Alday, who was making his debut under the GH3 Promotions banner, fought as expected by using good boxing skills while mixing power shots. He just needed a wicked body shot to end things at at 1:28 of round three to keep unblemished at 7-0 amb 7 nocauts.

 

 

 

“Ronald came back very nicely after a tough fight in February,” Va dir el conseller delegat de les promocions de GH3, Vito Mielnicki, who was referring to Ellis’ disputed draw with Junior Younan in February. “His next fight will be another significant fight against a top opponent. He is a couple fights away from something big in the super middleweight division. As for Joey, he performed terrific. He is a big junior middleweight who displayed both boxing skills and power. We will bring him along nicely, and have him back in May.”

UNDEFEATED BLUE-CHIP LIGHTWEIGHT PROSPECT DEVIN HANEY TO FACE VETERAN MASON MENARD IN MAIN EVENT OF SHOBOX: DIVENDRES DE LA NOVA GENERACIÓ, MAIG 11 VIURE A SHOWTIME

Leave a comment

 

 

Live At 10 p.m. I/PT On SHOWTIME From 2300 Arena In Philadelphia

 

 

 

 

NOVA YORK (Abril 5, 2018) – Highly regarded undefeated lightweight Devin Haney will face the toughest test of his career in veteran Mason Menard in the 10-round main event of ShoBox: La Nova Generació Divendres, Maig 11 en viu per SHOWTIME (10 p.m. ET / PT) des 2300 Sorra a Filadèlfia.

 

 

 

 

The 19-year-old Haney, who was a seven-time national junior amateur champion, has been considered a blue-chip prospect since turning professional at the age of 16 a Mèxic. Haney (18-0, 12 KOs) will face by far the toughest opponent of his career in his ShoBox debut against Menard (33-2, 24 KOs), a two-time ShoBox veteran whose only loss in nearly a decade came to current WBO Lightweight Champion Ray Beltran.

 

 

 

 

“The boxing world will see something they’ve never seen a 19-year-old professional boxer do,” Haney said. “I’m intimidating and I know it. I’m thankful to SHOWTIME and Mason Menard for giving me this opportunity, unfortunately for him, he will get a chance to see first-hand what all the hype is about. I’ve been sparring with former world champions like Jesse Vargas in preparation for this fight. The fact that I’m fighting in the main event is bringing out the best in me. It’s my time to show the world what I’m made of and I’m coming to make a statement in this fight. Mason Menard is in trouble!”

 

 

 

 

The young and flashy Haney fights out of Las Vegas, where he has earned a reputation as a prodigy having sparred with Floyd Mayweather, Shawn Porter, Jessie Vargas and Rances Barthelemy. He compiled an amateur record of 130-8 and received a special exception from the Nevada State Athletic Commission when he was just 17 years old to make his U.S. debut on the undercard of Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley III.

 

 

 

 

Haney, who is trained and managed by his father, William Haney, has been active since turning pro with nine fights in 2016 i set en 2017. En la seva última baralla el novembre. 4, va anotar un nocaut tècnic a la cinquena ronda contra Hamza Sempewo a Atlanta.

 

 

 

 

Menard had an emphatic win in his ShoBox debut a 2016 with a brutal Knockout of the Year nominee of previously unbeaten Eudy Bernardo. He returned later that year with a knockout victory of Bahodir Mamadjonov before facing Beltran on short notice. Prior to the 2016 loss to Beltran, Menard’s only blemish was a 2008 defeat in just his third professional fight.

 

 

 

 

“It’s a privilege for me to be able return in a fight on national television again,” Menard said. “My all-around game will be different. I have a new team, a repaired shoulder and a different outlook on things. Haney may be undefeated, but he’s never faced anyone like me. If everyone expects me to fold against an untested prospect they are in for a big surprise.”

 

 

 

 

After facing Beltran, Menard changed trainers and is now based in Los Angeles with trainers John Pullman and Buddy McGirt.

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday from Vanity Nightclub at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas:

 

Erislandy Lara

 

 

 

“Everyone knows I love to fight his style. I’ve fought better and taller fighters than him and you’ve seen me dominate them. It’s going to be nothing different on Saturday night.

 

 

 

“I want him to come forward. That’s what I’m prepared for. I’m going to give him a lessonon Saturday night.

 

 

 

“I have to give Hurd credit for taking the fight. It’s been hard to get fighters in the ring with me. There’s no need to talk because on Saturday we will find out everything we need to know.

 

 

 

“Everyone here talking from Hurd’s team can’t get in the ring with him. It’s different once you’re in the ring with me. You’ve never been in a big fight. We’ll find out what you have Saturday night. Ara, you’re all talk.

 

 

 

“I’m absolutely ready for this fight. This is going to be a great battle for the fans on SHOWTIME. I’m excited to get in the ring and finally unify the decision. I’m preparing to make history.

 

 

 

“I haven’t watched much video on Hurd, but as we saw from the Trout fight, he’s very hittable. Vine dissabte a la nit, he better have worked on some defense or it won’t last very long.

 

 

 

“I don’t want to hear anything about Jermell Charlo, because Jarrett Hurd is the one who stepped up. El diumenge, Charlo can sign the contract and we can get ready to rumble.”

 

Jarrett Hurd

 

 

 

“Lara has been the longest reigning champion and he was on top when I first turned pro. We’ve studied him a lot. I didn’t get into this sport to be anything but number one. Lara is the top guy, but after Saturday night, it’s going to be me.

 

 

 

 

“Ha estat un gran camp d'entrenament. We’re well prepared. This is the fight I’ve been asking for. After I beat Tony Harrison, Erislandy Lara had some words on Twitter for me. So I’ve wanted the fight since then. Somebody has to pay for that.

 

 

 

“This fight is coming at the right time for me because my confidence is very high right now. He’s a little older so I’ll be the younger and fresher fighter. I just feel like it’s my time. I’m going to be relentless. I’m not stopping until I get what I want.

 

 

 

“Lara is a veteran with a lot of experience. He knows how to win rounds and he can make you look bad no matter how good you are. I’m going to use my own awkward style and do what I do best.

 

 

 

“With my power and skill set, I can stop any fighter in the division. That definitely includes Erislandy Lara.

 

 

 

“Lara has great discipline in his game plan. No matter if he’s up on the cards or down or anything, he’s not going to switch it up. It’s hard to break a fighter when they’re disciplined like that. We have a plan for everything though and we’re confident that we’ll come up with something that will get us the victory.

 

 

 

“Lara is a guy who can’t take pressure fighters well. I have some of the best pressure in the game. Jo sóc més jove, més fort, taller and longer. He’s not going to be able to run for 12 rondes.

 

 

 

“Nobody wanted to fight this guy. I stepped up to the table because I know what I can do. He’s living the ‘American Dream’, but my dream has just begun. Saturday night I’m going to show you why nobody can survive 12 rounds with Jarrett Hurd. There’s a storm coming.”

 

CALEB TRUAX

 

 

 

“I’m honored to be here with these great fighters and back on SHOWTIME. Training camp was perfect for this fight. This is the longest camp I’ve had in my career and the most focused I’ve been.

 

 

 

“I just want to go out there and silence people who said it was a fluke the first time I won. I want to prove that I belong at the top of the division. I’m going to put on a good show for the fans and retain my title.

 

 

 

“We’ve had four months to prepare for James DeGale. Normally I have six to eight weeks, so it was nice to have a drawn out and specific training camp. We really focused on the conditioning and making sure I’m reaching my peak.

 

 

 

“I’ve been through a lot in this sport. I’ve fought top guys in big fights but it finally came together last December. It meant a lot to me and now I’m prepared to put on an even better performance. I know DeGale is going to be hungry so I have to be ready for him.

 

 

 

“I had a great camp this fight. I knew we were going to have a rematch so I was right back in the gym in a couple of weeks. My trainer put together a great plan to help me improve and prepare for what DeGale is going to improve on. I’ll be ready for him to be 100 per cent.

 

 

 

“I just want to get to Saturday night and put on another great performance to retain my belt. I’m going to give it my all to bring that belt back home to Minnesota.”

 

James DeGale

 

 

 

“My last performance was horrendous. It was shocking and embarrassing. I’m not going to make excuses about my shoulder and what went wrong. Dissabte a la nit, I will be a two-time world champion. Els prometo que.

 

 

 

“I’ve boxed at the top level my whole life and put on some good performances. I know what was wrong with me and why I performed how I did in the first fight. I’m going to put it to rest when I become a world champion again.

 

 

 

“It’s been a long, difficult training camp. I had a gray cloud above my head the last couple of months, but I’m ready to go become a world champion again on Saturday.

 

 

 

“This time has turned me into a beast. I’ve had to take everything even more seriously than before. I might have gotten a bit complacent being a champion those last few years. I’ve locked myself down and I’m ready to go.

 

 

 

“diria jo 90 percent of the loss was because of what I didn’t do. I looked past him. I came back too quick from the injury, but he still had to get in there and take my belt. There’s no disrespect to Caleb, but I’ve fought the very best of the division and come out on top. The real James DeGale will be back on Saturday.

 

 

 

“It’s going to be a dominant performance on Saturday. If I don’t beat Truax and beat him easily I can’t get to the level that I want. I know that’s what is coming. No excuses.”

 

JULIAN WILLIAMS

 

 

 

“We had a really good camp. I didn’t want to get into the trash talk this camp. He’s a solid fighter and I don’t underestimate anyone. But he seems like a bully. You can’t bully me. He’s obsessed with me on social media. I just have to focus on what he can do as a fighter.

 

 

 

“He’s a nobody who wants some attention. I’m going to give him lots of attention on Saturday night. I’m going to shut this guy up.

 

 

 

“He’s going to lose every single round and probably get stopped late. Every time he gets pushed he loses, gets a draw or gets knocked down. I’m drowning him in deep waters.

 

 

 

“I’m calm right now but also anxious to show everyone what I have. I know I’m a world class fighter, I just have to go do it. I’m making sure I stay patient right now.

 

 

 

“He lost to a journeyman, got a draw with a journeyman and got dropped by a journeyman. There’s nothing else to say. I’m taking him out on Saturday.”

 

NATHANIEL GALLIMORE

 

 

 

“Saturday night is judgment day and it starts with ‘J-Pebbles’. It’s going to be a night to remember for me.

 

 

 

“It’s going to be a spectacular fight. I’m going to demolish him in grand fashion. He’s never faced anyone like me before. When I touch him, s'ha acabat.

 

 

 

“You better worry about what’s going to happen to you on Saturday night. It’s going to be nasty. This fight is going to show everyone who I am in this division.

 

 

 

“I had the best training camp of my entire career. We covered all the bases. Saturdaynight I’m going to wipe the smile off his face. You think Charlo hits hard? You’re going to see on Saturday night.

 

 

 

“This opportunity is huge. The division is mine for the taking. I study my opponents and I stalk them in the ring. Everyone will see what’s going to happen on Saturday.”

 

LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO de Mayweather Promotions

 

 

 

“This is a great card from top to bottom. We have none other than the longest reigning 154-pound world champion, Erislandy Lara, taking on one of the toughest tests of his career in the very exciting, young and hungry world champion Jarrett Hurd.

 

 

 

“The co-main event is another important fight with a rematch featuring Caleb Truax, who will be looking to hold on to the belt he took from James DeGale last year, while DeGale will look to get back to where he was before they met last December.

 

 

 

“The show opens up with a high-octane 154-pound title eliminator with Julian Williams and Nathaniel Gallimore. This is the fight that could really steal the show. The winner of this fight will no doubt have their eye on the winner of Saturday’s main event.

 

 

 

“These are some of the best fights that can be made in each weight class. We can’t wait for everyone to see these fighters put it all on the line on Saturday night.”
