ERROL Spence JR.
“Denne kamp betyder alt for mig. I still have a chip on my shoulder. I want to be the last man standing. I want to beat the top fighters in my division. Lamont is the one standing in front of me, so it’s fight time.
I think it’s going to turn into a war. A lot of people have thought this would be an easy fight for me. But if you follow Lamont Peterson, you know this will be tough. He’s always in great shape and has a lot of skills. IT might be a dog fight and that’s what I wanted. He’s the guy who wanted to fight and I said of course. It’s going to be a rugged fight. Later on in the fights, he always gets rough and stands toe-to-toe.
There might not be a lot of talking and bad blood between us, but you know that the two of us always give a great fight for the fans.
I had to wait for my title defense and then I had a lot of guys not answer the call for this fight. I have a belt and I still have to call these other guys out. Lamont Peterson answered the call like a real fighter.
In a perfect world I’d be unifying with Keith Thurman this year. I’m going to fight three times this year though. You don’t get time back. I’m ready to strike now.
I’m just excited to fight. Jeg kan lide at kæmpe. I can’t wait to be in front of those bright lights in front of the fans. Brooklyn is a great place to fight and my family from the area can come see me live. I can’t wait to display my skills.
A true champion can’t fight everybody who calls them out, it’s still a business. But a true champion fights other champions, especially when they’re available. You can’t avoid questions and try to delay a fight. You fight the next champion that’s available, that’s what a true champion does.
LAMONT PETERSON
When I got into boxing, I had goals. First I wanted to be a National Champion, then a world champion as a professional, but the ultimate goal is to be in the Hall of Fame. With that being my goal, I wouldn’t put myself in that conversation yet. With wins over a guy like Errol Spence and the other top welterweights, I think I’m right there in it. That’s my goal and I’ll give it my all to get there.
If you left it to me I’d fight every month. That’s how much I love the sport. I know a victory would help me get in the ring even more often. Sometimes if you lose at the top level, other top guys don’t want to take a chance against you. I can fix all of that this weekend
I don’t worry about any negativity. My resume is written in the history books. All I can do is respect the opinion of others and work hard to get this win.
I’m excited and looking forward to the skill level that’s going to be displayed this weekend. It’s going to be a rough fight for sure. But I look forward to the technique and skill level. Defense, offense and transitioning between the two. That’s the part of boxing that I love.
Errol even taking the Kell Brook fight was impressive to me. Most guys in his position take their time leading up to the first title shot, but he ended up fighting someone in his prime in his country. To will himself to that win was very impressive.
When you get to the big stages and those big fights, you have to win more than you lose. I think if I can win some big fights these next few years my career will be in a good place.
ROBERT PÅSKE
I have no concerns fighting a southpaw. I made my last fight hard, but this time I’m going to use my reach, my feet and my speed to dominate.
I’m looking for a great performance. This is going to be the best Robert Easter the fans have ever seen. We prepared to dominate this fight.
Javier Fortuna is an accomplished fighter but I don’t know too much about him. I know what I came to do. I’m a world champion and everyone knows what I bring to the fight game. I won’t leave without my strap.
I’m ready to fight the best in this sport. I want to become the man at this weight and I know I have to beat the other champions to do that.
Boxing is all about showing you’re the best and fighting the best. I just want to fight these other champions in my weight class. I’m looking to stay healthy in 2018 and remain on top.
JAVIER FORTUNA
I have no excuses on Januar 20. I hope he doesn’t either. I will be taking that title to the Dominican Republic for my fans. I’ve been dreaming about it and I will take it.
I have the style and the skills to beat Robert Easter. I know how to make sure his height does not affect me at all. Everyone will see it on fight night.
I’ve prepared myself very well. I have a plan to win every round. If he’s able to stand there, I’m going to break him down round by round.
I am fighting for more than just myself and that is why I’ll be successful. I am going to prove that I’m truly one of the top fighters in the sport.
Robert Easter is a fighter I respect, but I believe I can defeat anyone in front of me. If he takes me lightly, it will go even worse for him. I’ve been training hard to make sure I’m at my absolute best on fight night.
A win would be great for my country, my fans and my family. Winning this title is everything for me. That’s why I’m here and I will not be stopped.
DERRICK JAMES, Spence træner
I started training Errol about nine years ago but I never really knew just how special he was until about a year or so into our training. I thought Olympics were definitely possible, because I didn’t want to look too far ahead. Now that we’re here, I think he can beat any of the top guys. I want him to be undisputed welterweight champion just like he wants to be.
I never worry about comparing Errol to other guys in the sport. He’s a hard puncher who breaks ribs and breaks faces. The longer the fight goes, the more pain he inflicts. I’ve never seen anybody who punches that hard.
I think Lamont knew when he moved up to welterweight that this fight would be a possibility. It’s time for us to go to work because I know Lamont and Barry Hunter are working on a game plan. They have a great team and I know Lamont will be ready for what we bring.
BARRY HUNTER, Petersons Trainer
We stay in the gym all the time. We didn’t have to deal with the weight monster this camp. Weight issue can really derail a camp leading up to a fight of this magnitude. We didn’t have to deal with any of that.
There are several different things in Errol’s arsenal that I think we can exploit. Errol will make adjustments though, so I think strategy will be a key in this fight.
Lamont has always been a coach’s dream. He’s the type of athlete that you would love to coach. He does everything a coach asks of him. He will train until he passes out. All he wants is to work hard and compete.
LOU Dibella, Formand for DiBella Entertainment
This is a great night for boxing. The first January date of the year drums up a lot of excitement and we expect a great turnout på lørdag nat ved Barclays center. It’s going to be a great crowd and an exciting night from top to bottom.
“Errol Spence Jr. is one of the best young fighters in the world testing himself against another great fighter in Lamont Peterson It’s the best fighting the best. Lamont Peterson is a guy with a tremendous resume. If anybody thinks Errol is going to take Lamont lightly, they’re mistaken and he would be too.
Both of these main event fighters are lucky to have trainers who are real teachers. They are old school and two of the best. Derrick James and Barry Hunter know the game inside and out.
Robert Easter is a beast, he’s got reach, power and boxing ability. He’s facing a guy in Javier Fortuna who is a confident former world champion. Javier has been talking a big game. He’s talking about knockouts. You want to see a guy come into a fight like this with that kind of confidence.
This year in boxing is starting out just like last year started, at Barclays Center with a great, even matchup like Badou Jack vs. James DeGale last year.
STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Executive Vice President & General Manager, SHOWTIME Sports
In terms of representing the sport, you don’t get any better than Errol Spence Jr. and Lamont Peterson. The professionalism of these guys is unmatched and they represent the best of the sport. I’m proud to have them on the network.
You can’t play boxing. You have to be dedicated and passionate. Those values are going to be reflected in the ring på lørdag.
This is a special fight. These are the best in the sport. They’re both top 10 fyre. Errol Spence Jr. has grown up on SHOWTIME.
He made his pro debut on ShoBox and won his first world title on SHOWTIME. This is Lamont’s eighth appearance on SHOWTIME and he has one of the strongest resumes in the sport.
Robert Easter and Javier Fortuna is another matchup of top 10 fyre. What we’re doing here is special. This isn’t just another network doing boxing, this is the cream of the crop.
BRETT YORMARK, CEO of Brooklyn Sports & Underholdning
I’m really excited about Lørdag nat. We’ve been very fortunate to host the first big event of the year. There’s an appetite to get back into the game and we’re happy to be hosting it.
I want to welcome back Errol and Lamont to Barclays Center. Both have been there before and we’re thrilled to have you back. We’re pleased that Robert has finally decided to take his show to Barclays Center and give the fans a performance. Last time Javier won at Barclays Center he won his world title and we’re happy to have him back.
We’re going to create something great here in Brooklyn and it continues på lørdag night at Barclays Center.

Exciting Slugger Eyubov Calls Out Fellow Prospect: ‘Bring me Yves Ulysse Jr. I Will Run Him Out of the Ring!’

Already one of the most entertaining up-and-comers in boxing and willing to face anyone put in front of him, Kazakhstan-born slugger BakhtiyarBakha Bullet” Yeyubov, is calling out a fellow super lightweight prospect that most of his contemporaries try to avoid.

Bring me Yves Ulysse Jr. næste,” Said Eyubov. I want to fight him.
A true warrior, Eyubov says he’s willing to go where others fear to tread on his way to a world championship. “I know Ulysse is considered a difficult opponent and fighters are avoiding him, but I would run him out of the ring. I’ll stop him and get my respect in the division. I am too strong and too hungry. He can’t survive my tenacity!”
Montreal-based Ulysse (15-1, 9 KOS) was last seen in December dominating formerly undefeated Cletus Seldin over 10 one-sided rounds on HBO. The quick-fisted Canadian is currently rated #14 i verden af ​​IBF.
Yeyubov (13-0, 11 KOS) returned to the ring last weekend, but had his stalking of opponent Maurice Chalmers cut short when Chalmers suffered an accidental headbutt. The fight was ruled a No Decision at 1:59 af første runde.
I will stop him if that fight ever happens,” continued Eyubov. “I hope he doesn’t get intimidated by my confidence. I hope he’s a real man that likes a challenge. We will see.
Eyubov’s promoter says he’s willing to try and make this interesting showdown a reality.
This is a great fight,” Said Word. “Bakhtiyar says he wants to prove himself against a tough guy who can get him in the world ratings. We asked him who he wants, and he didn’t hesitate. He wants Yves Ulysse. Fights like this, between two hungry young lions are what boxing is all about. Both these guys are essentially undefeated. Ulysse’s loss was very controversial. It would be a sensational war.

VERONA, N.Y.. (Jan. 13, 2018) – Unified Women’s Super Middleweight World Champion Claressa Shields dominated previously undefeated Tori Nelson en route to a 10-round unanimous decision in the main event of ShoBox: Den nye generation Fredag on SHOWTIME from Turning Stone Resort Casino.

 

 

 

Shields controlled from opening to closing bell, sweeping 100-90 on all three judges’ scorecards in the first 10-round distance fight of her career. Den 2012 og 2016 Olympic Gold Medalist out-landed Nelson 225-81 with her total punches, 186-70 in powers shots, and connected at a 44 percent clip with her power shots compared to just 20 percent for Nelson.

 

 

 

“I landed every shot that I thought possible to land,”Shields sagde. “She was tough, she wasn’t a pushover. She put on a good fight.”

 

 

 

Shields advanced to 5-0 with two knockouts in what was likely her final fight in the super middleweight division. The 22-year-old now has her sights set on the middleweight division where she will eventually target undefeated and Unified Women’s Middleweight World Champion Christina Hammer, who was ringside Fredag i Verona.

 

 

 

“I have to drop down and see how I feel (første),”Shields sagde. “I think I could make 160 easy, I’m going to be bigger and stronger than any girl.

 

 

 

“Hammer just wants to scope. I think she’s pretty scared to be honest. She is more worried about me than I am about her. I’m going to kick Hammer’s ass. People think Hammer is more skilled than me so I can’t wait to show her that she’s not.”

 

 

 

Hammer, who is expected to fight in a co-featured bout on the next Shields card, was interviewed by SHOWTIME analyst Steve Farhood and expressed excitement to make her U.S. debut and eventually face the American champion.

 

 

 

“It’s a great combination me and her on the same card,” Hammer said. “I can’t wait to show the fans who Christina Hammer is. That will be the best fight ever. It will be the game-changer for female boxing. It’s our time to shine.

 

 

 

“I’m long-time world champion and I have more experience. I have longer reach, I’m tall, I have good footwork and better technique than her. I feel the energy, and I can’t wait to fight against her.”

 

 

 

The former world champion Nelson (17-1-3, 2 KOS) became the 173rd undefeated fighter to suffer their first professional loss on ShoBox: Den nye generation.

 

 

 

“I’m not happy because I didn’t win, but other than that I thought I executed pretty well,” said the 41-year-old Nelson. “I gave her a better fight than she was expecting.

 

 

 

“No disrespect to Claressa, she doesn’t have great power. She has great speed and she overwhelms you with a lot of punches. My movement threw her off like I knew it would but knowing she was the champion, I needed to just push a little bit more.”

 

 

 

I ShoBox co-feature, Jesse Hernandez narrowly defeated Ernesto Garza via split-decision in an action-packed fight that was scored 95-94 Hernandez, 95-93 Garza, 97-93 Hernandez.

 

 

 

After a close first round, Garza floored Hernandez with a flush left hand to the nose in the closing moments of the second round. Hernandez recovered, and while the middle rounds featured tremendous back-and-forth action, Hernandez seemingly had no trouble walking down Garza, who’s punches seemed to lack any real power. Garza (9-3, 5 KOS) found a second wind and seemed to pick up the eighth and ninth rounds until Hernandez roared back in an excellent 10th and final round that featured 178 samlede slag.

 

 

 

Hernandez (11-1, 7 KOS) landet 50 percent of his power punches and connected on 40 percent of his punches compared to just 28 percent for Garza, however he threw just 719 total punches compared to more than 1,000 by Garza.

 

“I think it should have been a unanimous decision,” Hernandez said. “I’ve always been a slow starter and I feel like I lost the first two rounds, especially with the knockdown. But I won pretty much every round after that, I maybe lost three rounds.

 

 

 

“I’m not completely happy with my performance. I have to control my distance and my range a little bit better. I need to go back to the gym and work on those things. Before the summer comes I hope to have another fight and I hope it’s on SHOWTIME.

 

 

 

“I give Garza a lot of credit for getting in the ring and knocking me down. He hung in there for 10 rounds even after I caught him with some good shots. He was able to withstand those shots, but all that said, I still think it should have been a unanimous decision.”

 

 

 

Garza countered that sentiment.

 

 

 

“I thought it was a bogus decision,” Garza said. “I don’t understand that last judge’s card. I was happy with everything that I did. I executed well and did everything I needed to do to win the fight.

 

 

 

“I’m really disappointed with the outcome. I felt that I won. For mig, I won a majority of the rounds and I knocked him down. I know knocking your opponent down usually leads to you winning the fight.”

 

 

 

Undefeated Uzbekistan power-puncher Shohjahon Ergashev handed Sonny Fredrickson the first loss of his career with an impressive third round TKO in the opening bout of the ShoBox fjersynsudsendelse.

 

 

 

The win over the top-10 ranked Fredrickson extended Ergashev’s perfect record to 12-0 med 12 knockouts.

 

 

 

The 26-year-old pressed the action from the beginning, negating Fredrickson’s five-inch reach advantage with a steady diet of well-timed, crisp punches. Ergashev landed a wide left to the head that stumbled Fredrickson in the opening minute of the third and continued to tee-off as his opponent wobbled against the ropes With Fredrickson (18-1, 12 KOS) unable to defend himself and eating a series of brutal lefts, referee Benjy Esteves stepped in to stop the bout at 1:58 af den tredje.

 

 

 

All of Ergashev’s 61 connects in the bout were power shots, and he connected on 77 percent of his power punches in the third and final round.

 

 

 

“The ref saved him,” Ergashev said. “If he let him stay on his feet any longer I would have knocked him out. He couldn’t handle my power.

 

 

 

“At this stage of my career, I am in the best shape of my life and the best I have felt. This is my time right now, especially because I am training with Rick (Phillips) og (Javan) Sukker (Hill Steward). That’s what leads to all of my knockout power.

 

 

 

“I’m ready for whatever comes next. I’m ready for more fights in the U.S., and I want to keep getting more exposure to show off my skills. I’m ready to fight anybody in America.”

 

 

 

Fredrickson, who became the 172 fighter to suffer his professional loss on the prospect developmental series, suffered a jaw injury in the bout and was unavailable for comment.

 

 

 

Fredagens tripleheader will replay on Mandag, Jan. 15 på 10 p.m. OG/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME on DEMAND® and SHOWTIME ANYTIME®.

Russisk Heavyweight Apti Davtaev Remains ubesejrede på Shields vs. Nelson undercard på Turning Stone Resort Casino

Adskillige underholdende kampe fremhævede untelevised undercard til to-tiden OL-guldvinder Claressa Shields forsvar af hendes WBC og IBF-titler mod obligatorisk udfordrer Tori Nelson på Turning Stone Resort Casino i Verona, New York i aften.
I de vigtigste understøttende Bout, Detroit via Kurchaloi, Rusland, sværvægter Apti Davtaev havde en succesfuld USA kæmper debut ved at score en seks-round enstemmig beslutning i Philadelphias Garrett “The Ultimate Warrior” Wilson.
Wilson gjorde det ikke nemt. Fighting ud af en crouch, den stærkt muskuløs, men meget kortere Wilson kom op med nok vilde haymakers at gøre hele kampen meget interessant. Davtaev synes at have en tung højre hånd, som han faldt over på den hårde leder af Wilson ofte nok til at tjene den tætte, men fortjente nik. Davtaev garanterer kredit for at gå i krig, når et af Wilsons looping gynger tilsluttet.
Davtaev (nu 14-0-1, 13 KOS) mister sin perfekte KO procentdel, men går væk med en hård sejr over en fjende, der kom til at vinde. Wilson er nu (18-14-1, 9 KOS).
Pointene blev 58-56 fra alle tre dommere.
En utilsigtet skalle bragt en forkortet ende til den seks-runde super let tilbagevenden Aktjubinsk, Kazakhstan’s Bakhtiyar Eyubov.
Ind mod Lynchburg, Virginia’s Maurice Chalmers (14-13-1, 8 KOS), den spændende Slugger Eyubov (13-0, 11 KOS) blev fremrykkende bag aktiv hoved bevægelse og en stram shell, da hans hoved kolliderede med tilbagetog Chalmers’. The cut that resulted was ruled too severe and the fight was ruled a No Decision at 1:59 af åbningen runde.
I en vild kvinders lys sværvægter Brawl featuring næver flyver fra alle retninger, brydning besidder og flere MMA-stil takedowns, Franchon “Heavy Hitting Diva” Besætningerne-Dezurn vandt en enstemmig seks-runde beslutning i løbet af Tiffany “The Terminator” Woodard.
Besætninger-Dezurn, nu 3-1, 1 KO, af Baltimore, Maryland, havde for mange våben til Wilson, North Carolina’s Woodard (nu 4-10-3, 3 KOS), så Woodard forsøgte, og det lykkedes at gøre tingene grim. Hvad fulgte var en vild slag-out med albuer og låsehuse og takedowns, der forlod både på lærredet mere end én gang.
Woodard tog en masse hårdt læder og fortjener ros for sin sejhed. Besætningerne-Dezurn viste klasse ved ikke at tage lokkemaden i det meste af kampen. Hun mistede et punkt i den sjette for en lusket hævn takedown.
Pointene blev 59-53, 59-54 og 59-54.
Detroit via Magnitogorsk, Russia’s Alexey Zubov outworked a determined Lamont “For glat” Kapers af Hawley, Pennsylvania, på vej til en seks-runde flertalsbeslutning.
En underholdende kamp mellem benhård cruiserweights, Zubov blev skåret over højre øje og tog nogle gode slag, men blot outworked de mere selektive Capers. Zubov viste sin ofte superior condition og arbejdede bag en uddannet jab, mens Kapers var tilfreds med at lægge i tovene og jord hårde pot shots ofte nok til at holde det interessant.
En score på 57-57 draw blev over-styret af scores 59-56 og 58-56 for den hårde russiske. Med sejren, Zubov flytter sin post til 17-1, 9 KOS. Kapers falder til 8-11-3.

AFSLUTTENDE citater:

 

 

Claressa SHIELDS:

 

 

”Tori bringer en masse mere aggression, a lot more fight than a lot of my previous opponents. På papiret, hun har den bedste CV for enhver modstander, jeg har konfronteret og kan sætte en bedre kamp.

 

 

 

”Alle undervurderer mig på grund af min størrelse. Min ramme ligner jeg er en 140 men virkelig jeg er en 168. Alle går ind i en kamp tænker de kan vinde, but once that right hand lands everything changes. I’m going to go after her in the first round and get her out of there like Nikki Adler.

 

 

 

”Jeg forventer min modstander til at lægge pres, og at bruge nogle beskidte taktik. Hun har mere erfaring, men ikke så meget, når du taler om hendes amatør erfaring.

 

 

 

“She’s confident and she believes in herself. She thinks I haven’t earned my place yet. She doesn’t think I throw hard punches. Speed is power. She doesn’t get that.

 

 

 

”Det har været en hård lejr, Jeg skubbede mig virkelig. Jeg plejer at gøre seks uger, denne gang jeg gjorde otte uger. Jeg havde ikke kæmpet siden august, så jeg ønskede at give mig selv en ekstra to uger, så jeg vidste, at jeg var i perfekt form.

 

 

 

”Der er ingen tvivl om, at jeg starter året med en sejr, men jeg ser det som en konkurrencedygtig kamp. Jeg har tænkt mig at skulle tjene sejren, men jeg tror, ​​jeg kan KO hende ved den sjette, syvende runde.”

 

 

 

TORI NELSON:

 

 

”Jeg ved, jeg er underdog, men jeg har droppet ni mennesker. Hun har ikke scorede et knockdown endnu som en pro. Når Claressa blev professionel, Jeg vidste, jeg ville have til at stå over for hende til sidst.

 

 

 

”En sejr er, hvad jeg kom efter. I expect nothing different. I hope it would expose female boxing and not only open doors for me, men andre kvindelige boksere kommer op efter mig.

 

 

 

”Jeg føler, at det er mere underholdende at se en kvindelig kamp. Når kvinder bliver droppet, de kommer tilbage op og gå efter det igen. Når mænd bliver slået ned, de begynder at skjule, fordi de ikke ønsker at blive ramt igen. Så jeg synes, vi skal få betalt lige så meget som mændene.

 

 

 

”Jeg er velsignet at være her, but I’m not a winner until I complete what I came here to do. And that’s win. The odds are definitely against me, men jeg har tænkt mig at chokere verden.

 

 

 

“I want to take her into the deep waters. We don’t think she can beat us in a 10-round fight.

 

 

 

”De kommer ikke til at give mig noget. I have to be a dog and go in there and win this fight. I’ve always been aggressive. Why change anything for her?"

 

 

 

JESSE HERNANDEZ

 

 

”Jeg prøver bare at komme tættere på en titel kamp. Flytning op af ranglisten er det vigtigste mål lige nu, og jeg er på rette vej. En sejr her i en 10-runde kamp ville være enorme for min karriere.

 

 

 

”At være en all-around fighter er noget jeg arbejder på. Men man kan ikke blive et godt afrundet fighter, indtil du får den erfaring og de kampe, og det er, hvad jeg arbejder på at gøre lige nu. Jeg ønsker at få flere runder i og fremskridt.

 

 

 

”Fighting en southpaw er ikke et problem for mig. Jeg kan skifte min holdning, men det er ikke noget, jeg tænker over eller plan. Det sker bare naturligt i en kamp.

 

 

 

”Jeg har altid troet på mig selv, selv når jeg tog fri. Jeg troede, at jeg kunne komme tilbage i det og komme til et topniveau. The wins over two undefeated fighters did a lot for my confidence. I knew I could do it, men det viste andre jeg hører, og at jeg kan konkurrere på det øverste niveau.”

 

 

 

ERNESTO GARZA

 

 

”Jeg kan lide at bringe trykket, and he’s a pressure fighter too. We’ll see who backs up once we start throwing punches.

 

 

 

“I like to face fighters who come forward like him so I think everything will work for me. I plan on applying the pressure, få ham træt i de sidste runder, og tage ham ud.

 

 

 

”Han har en tendens til at skifte, but I think that’s when he gets off-balance. He won’t bring anything I haven’t seen before.

 

 

 

“I’m fighting at my natural weight class this time. My last fight on ShoBox (mod undefeated Jon Fernandez) Jeg kæmpede en meget højere vægt.

 

 

 

“I don’t think his height and reach will give me any issues. I’ve been working with a lot of guys in the gym who have similar size and style. We’re ready for anything.

 

 

 

“A win would be a great step for me and my career. All the doors would open up for us.”

 

 

 

Efter Shakh:

 

 

”Jeg elsker at træne her på grund af det faktum, at det er en anden stemning her i staterne. Det er en rigtig professionel opsætning, Jeg føler, at mine evner og min teknik har fået en meget bedre uddannelse her med Sugar Hill.

 

 

 

”Jeg ved, at han er en erfaren fighter. Han er ubesejret og han kommer til at kæmpe. Det er en stor mulighed for os begge.

 

 

 

”Jeg er meget beæret over at være på SHOWTIME og glad for at være at få denne form for national eksponering. En sejr ville cementere mig som en af ​​de bedste junior weltervægt udsigter i verden.

 

 

 

”Jeg har fået en meget bedre uddannelse på Kronk Boxing Gym i Detroit. Sidste træningslejr var en introduktion til den amerikanske form for boksning og denne lejr virkelig forbedret min teknik og taktik med den intense sparring.

 

 

 

"Jeg er 11-0 med 11 knockouts. Jeg er en puncher og jeg ønsker at slå ham ud, men jeg har trænet for afstanden. Jeg har trænet til at slå nogen ud i første runde, og den ottende runde.

 

 

 

”Dette er et stort skridt op i opposition, men jeg har haft i løbet af 200 amatør kampe mod nogle af de bedste amatør boksere i verden. Jeg har slået olympiske medaljevindere og meget dygtig amatør kæmpere.”

 

 

 

SONNY Fredrickson

 

 

”Jeg har ventet på denne eksponering i lang tid. Jeg har prøvet at komme på TV for de sidste to eller tre år, så dette er en stor aftale for mig. Forhåbentlig en win bump mig op i toppen 5 og giver mig en titel skudt i slutningen af ​​dette år eller i begyndelsen af ​​næste år.

 

 

 

”Vi sparre meget med Robert (Påske). It’s back-and-forth action. We grew up together and learn a lot from each other. Jeg giver ham nogle pejlemærker her og der, og han gør det samme for mig.

 

 

 

”Jeg ved ikke alt for meget om min modstander. Jeg ved, han er en lefty, og han har en stærk slag. Han er et godt match for mig. Han ønsker at holde kommer frem og jord big shots, så jeg vil være i stand til at udbakke ham temmelig nemt.

 

 

 

”Jeg tror ikke, at nerverne bliver faktor. Jeg har kæmpet på André Wards kort, Jeg har været i store slagsmål før.

 

 

 

”Jeg har tænkt mig at slå ham ud efter den tredje runde. Jeg har tænkt mig at sige, hey, få ham ud af her.

 

 

 

”Efter denne kamp, fans vil begynde at lære mit navn. Jeg tror, ​​de får lyst til at se mig have et skud på 140 pund titel.”
