The San Antonio native began his 2017 campaign with a stoppage victory over Yardley Suarez on the Keith Thurman vs. Danny Garcia undercard in Brooklyn in March. He continues his campaign at 140-pounds when he enters the ring on Juin 11.
The 30-year-old Rodriguez enters this fight on a three bout winning streak including a third round TKO win in April in his last bout.

IBF WELTERWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPION KELL BROOK AND MANDATORY CHALLENGER ERROL SPENCE JR. CITATIONS MEDIA D'EXERCICES & PHOTOS

 

Samedi, Mai 27 En direct sur Showtime® À 5:15 p.m. ET / 2:15 p.m. PT From Bramall Lane in Sheffield, Angleterre

SHEFFIELD (Mai 24) – Kell Brook will make his fourth IBF Welterweight World Title defense against U.S. star Errol Spence Jr. at Bramall Lane in Sheffield, England this samedi mai 27, en direct sur Showtime (5:15 p.m. ET/2:15 p.m. PT).

 

Ruisseau (36-1, 25 KOs) and mandatory challenger Spence, (21-0, 18 KOs), clash on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING in one of the biggest fights in the 147-pound division, and the elite pairing are promising to deliver an electric night of action.

 

Both fighters participated in a public media workout today, Mercredi, at Peace Gardens in Sheffield, Angleterre. Below is what they had to say:

 

KELL BROOK

“We are going to rock Sheffield Samedi nuit. Je suis prêt, I’m pumped, Je ne peux pas attendre.

 

“There is a lot of pressure but I always perform better under pressure. I’m meant to be on the big stage, I’m ready for the pressure and to see the bright lights.

 

"[Errol Spence] is a serious dude from America, he’s a young hungry lion, but he’s not beaten anyone like me. I’m a champion and I’ve been a champion. I’m defending. I know both sides of the coin, I’ve prepared very well.

 

“I’m ready for a war. And that’s what you’re going to see – a war Samedi nuit. There are going to be two winners Samedi nuit: that is going to be myself and everyone watching.

 

“There’s no way he can beat me. I’m a man possessed and I have a serious job to do. This is my night to shine.

 

“I love it [being the underdog]. I was born for it. People don’t have me winning this fight, but that just gives me the extra energy I need to go out and prove them all wrong.

 

“This guy is a talented guy, but he’s never been tested. He’s never been in with someone who is so determined like me. Who’s bigger, fort, who has all this energy, who’s meant for this game, who’s meant to be a winner. He hasn’t been in with someone with that mindset, and that’s what I’m coming to bring Samedi.

 

“All the hard work has been done. The talking will stop; we’re ready to let some fireworks fly now.

 

“I can see us both maybe hitting the canvas. You’re going to be on the edge of your seat from round one. He’s not going to take a backwards step, and I’m not [non plus]. All I can say is it’s going to be a thriller.

 

“I’ve arrived. Il est un rêve devenu réalité. It’s going to be so perfect for me that night to walk out and just see everyone. The electricity is going to be phenomenal.”

 

ERROL SPENCE JR.

 

“This is my time, this is my era. C'est mon temps de briller. This is my time to get the belts, this is my time to unify and become the undisputed welterweight champion of the world. This is just another stepping stone to get to where I want to be.

 

«Je suis 100 pour cent préparé, Je suis 100 percent focused, and I’m 100 percent ready to give the fans what they want, which is a real great fight.

 

“I can’t let the fans get to me. I’m not worried about him having his hometown fans. Eventually everyone will be my fans by the end of the night.

 

“I don’t feel the pressure at all. I feel like there is more pressure on him because he’s fighting at home. Of course there’s pressure on me to win, but I welcome that pressure. It’s going to do nothing but motivate me, make me more hungry and make we want to win even more.

 

“You just have to have that ‘it’ factor, and I think I have it. I’m not worried about the crowd, I’m not worried about the boos or anything like that.

 

“It’s a good step-up. Kell Brook is a good fighter, he has great skills. I welcome this step-up – I’ve been asking for it for a long time and I’m finally getting my opportunity.

 

“My confidence comes from my hard work. I know the hours and time that I put in the gym.”

 

“This is an ideal situation. I would be disappointed if I was fighting someone else because he vacated. Je suis un vrai combattant, Je veux me battre le meilleur, I want to fight the champion and earn it the right way. I can’t wait to prove I am one of the best fighters in the welterweight division.

 

“I’ve been on the USA team for a long time. Comme un amateur, representing U.S. in the Olympics and as a pro having this USA patch on me and fighting for my country. Je ressens Samedi is kind of like a USA vs UK battle. And U.S.A. is going to win.”

Lewkowicz Congratulates ‘PilonLara for Smashing KO of Briones

Promoter Sampson Lewkowicz wishes to congratulate undefeated featherweight, Jorge “Pilon” Lara of Mexico, for his sensational stoppage of Mario Briones last Saturday night.
Fighting in the nationally televised semi-final bout in support of David Benavidez’s eighth-round KO over Rogelio “Porky” Medina at the Laredo Energy Arena in Laredo, Texas, Lara (29-0-2, 21 KOs) returned in impressive fashion from a 13-month layoff to TKO his countryman Briones (28-6-2, 21 KOs) au troisième tour.
Vite, powerful and relentless, Lara, a 26-year-old southpaw from Guadalajara, dropped Briones twice in round two and then finished the job at 2:03.
The performance was particularly remarkable, considering Lara was coming off an extended layoff due to a hand injury suffered in his previous fight, a career-changing KO over multiple-time world champion Fernando Montiel, as well as a gunshot wound suffered in a botched robbery attempt in Mexico.
Lewkowicz says Lara will now be chasing the big game in his weight class, especially WBC Featherweight Champion Gary Russell Jr.
“Russell Jr. has talked about moving up in weight,” a déclaré Lewkowicz, “Pilon Lara would love to get him in the ring first and send him on his way. He is too strong and powerful for anyone at the weight. This was the most-watched broadcast of PBC on FSN and the world now knows he is a star on the rise.
According to Lewkowicz, Lara was shaking off some ring rust while dominating the respectable Briones.

As good as he looked, he is even more frightening at this weight,” a déclaré Lewkowicz. “Jorge Lara will destroy any champion or top contender he fights. We are now working on getting one of them in the ring, starting with Gary Russell Jr. Congratulations to my latest new star in boxing for his sensational performance.

Budding star Irvin Gonzalez Starting to make waves in Super featherweight division

POUR DIFFUSION IMMÉDIATE
“L'avenir de la Nouvelle-Angleterre 3” 10 juin à Worcester, MA

WORCESTER, Masse. (Mai 24, 2017) – New England’s top prospect with 10 pro fights of less, undefeated hometown favorite Irvin Gonzalez, is on a fast track going into his June 10e headline fight in the third installment of the “L'avenir de la Nouvelle-Angleterre” série, au Centre DCU (Salle d'exposition) à Worcester, Massachusetts.

“L'avenir de la Nouvelle-Angleterre 3” est présenté par Rivera Promotions Entertainment (À propos de nous), qui est détenue et exploitée par trois retraités, double champion du monde de division Jose Antonio Rivera et son fils, Antoine (A.J.) Rivera.
The 21-year-old Gonzalez (6-0, 6 KOs) prend Raul Lopez (10-2-1, 5 KOs), du Bronx (New York), in an eight-round main event for the vacant Universal Boxing Federation (UBF) All-American super featherweight championship.
Pro boxing returns to the DCU Center for the first time en 11 ans, ironiquement, when promoter Jose Antonio Rivera defeated Alejandro Garcia, by way of a 12-round unanimous decision, pour l'Association mondiale de boxe (WBA) World super welterweight title.
I am excited to watch Irvin’s boxing career flourish,” promoter Jose Rivera remarked. “He has all the tools to become a world champion. Fighting for the UBF championship will be the first of many and I am glad that we are able to give him this opportunity. I see big things for Irvin and I hope fans come out Samedi nuit, Juin 10e, to support him and the other local boxers.”.
“Ceci est une grande opportunité pour moi,” Gonzalez dit. “I’m blessed to be fighting in Worcester for my first title. It’s not a big title but it’s like taking baby steps to a world title. Since I started boxing at the Boys & Girls club, I always wanted to be like Jose, a three-time world champion. Maintenant, it’s my turn, and I’m fighting again in my city.
Gonzalez has a perfect pro record: six rights, six wins by knockout. Cependant, he’s only had fought a grand total of eight rounds, et Juin 10e he’s in a scheduled eight-round match. The well-spoken youngster isn’t concerned with the step up in rounds and opposition.
I’ve been asked about that by a lot of media, trainers and other fighters,” il a expliqué. “I’ve always trained like it’s for a world title fight, 12 tours, so I’m not worried about going into deep water. I’m in magnificent shape, three weeks before the fight, and even in the amateurs I’ve always gotten stronger as the fight went along. In sparring, I get stronger, so going eight isn’t a problem for me.
I don’t really know much about my opponent. He won a few national titles but hasn’t fought too often. I’ll see what he brings into the ring and then adjust. I know I’m taller.
Gonzalez learned a lot when he was a sparring partner for Guillermo Rigondeaux in Florida that was supposed to be a six-week training camp that ended after three weeks due to Rigondeauxfight being cancelled.
I learned a lot about different training methods that I now use,” Irvin continued. “His techniques are phenomenal. I was around a world champion, two-time Olympic gold medalist and I saw his work ethic. After all he’s accomplished, he still has a great work ethic, and I learned from him that a fighter need continue working like he does until the day it’s all over. It’s not all about money, it’s having fun every day, doing what we love.

COURANT & LES ANCIENS CHAMPIONS DES POIDS MOYENS PESENT SUR KELL BROOK vs. CHAMPIONNAT DU MONDE ERROL SPENCE IBF 147 LIVRES CE SAMEDI EN DIRECT SUR SHOWTIME®

 

Temple de la renommée Sugar Ray Leonard, Keith Thurman, Danny Garcia, Shawn Porter & Discutez de la dernière série de blockbusters poids welter

 

Showtime Championship Boxing® Vit à 5:15 p.m. ET/2:15 p.m. PT de Bramall Lane à Sheffield, Angleterre

 

NEW YORK (Mai 23, 2017) – Le champion du monde poids welter IBF Kell Brook et l'étoile montante invaincue Errol Spence s'affrontent ce samedi en direct sur Showtime (5:15 p.m. ET/2:15 p.m. PT) dans le dernier d'une série d'affrontements significatifs de poids welter entre les meilleurs combattants de l'une des divisions les plus profondes de la boxe.

 

Six des huit meilleurs poids welters au monde* auront combattu au cours des cinq premiers mois de 2017 – le tout sur SHOWTIME ou CBS – alors qu'un tournoi de facto se poursuit dans la classe des 147 livres pour déterminer le No. 1 combattant dans une division longtemps contrôlée par le retraité Floyd Mayweather.

Le champion du monde poids welter WBA et WBC, Keith Thurman, a unifié les titres sur Mars 4 avec une victoire par décision partagée sur Danny Garcia dans un rare affrontement de champions invaincus. Lamont Peterson a remporté le titre secondaire WBA Regular le Février. 18, et Avril 22 Shawn Porter a éliminé Andre Berto pour devenir le challenger obligatoire de la ceinture WBC de Thurman. Le champion poids welter restant, Manny Pacquiao, est prêt à défendre son titre WBO contre Jeff Horn le Juillet 2.

 

C'est maintenant au tour de Brook et Spence d'occuper le devant de la scène dans la division glamour de la boxe.

 

Ce samedi à Sheffield, Angleterre, Ruisseau (36-1, 25 KOs) fera la quatrième défense de la ceinture IBF qu'il a remportée par décision majoritaire sur Porter en 2014. Le joueur de 31 ans, qui n'a jamais été renversé, sera le favori de la ville natale devant ce qui devrait être plus de 25 000 fans lors du premier combat pour le titre mondial en 162 ans d'histoire de Bramall Lane.

 

Spence, 27 ans (21-0, 18 KOs) a longtemps été considéré comme l’un des espoirs les plus prisés de la boxe. Le non de l'IBF. 1 a éliminé huit adversaires consécutifs et s'est amélioré à mesure que son niveau d'opposition augmentait - ses six derniers adversaires détenaient un record combiné impressionnant de 151 gagne contre seulement huit défaites. Le résident de Dallas voyage à l'étranger pour cette opportunité de titre tant attendue alors qu'il tente de devenir le premier Américain à détrôner un Anglais sur le sol britannique en près d'une décennie.**

 

Avec Spence et Brook affirmant leur intention d'unifier la division après Mai 27, voir ci-dessous ce que le légendaire Temple de la renommée Sugar Ray Leonard et les meilleurs poids welters actuels ont à dire à propos de Samedi Match pour le titre IBF.

 

SUGAR RAY LEONARD – Ancien champion du monde poids welter incontesté

“Je suis vraiment excité par ce combat en particulier, principalement parce que les deux combattants doivent être sur leur A-game. Je sais que l'on parle de la chirurgie oculaire de Kell comme d'un problème psychologique, mais par expérience personnelle, je ne vois pas que ce soit le cas. Je n'ai jamais pensé à mon œil une fois que le médecin m'a donné le feu vert.

 

"Pour me demander qui va gagner ce combat, J'ai mon préféré dans Errol Spence. Mais, en fonction de l'artillerie physique de chaque combattant, un coup de poing peut renverser la vapeur. Cela étant dit, Je vais m'asseoir et regarder une bonne soirée de boxe.

 

KEITH THURMAN – WBA unifiée & Champion du monde poids welters WBC

"C'est un combat intéressant. Je n'ai pas trop suivi Kell, mais j'ai évidemment vu Errol combattre aux États-Unis. Errol est un dur, jeune combattant qui vient juste d'entrer dans l'œil du public, et Kell a évidemment la force de la foule britannique de son côté.

 

«Ce devrait être un combat difficile qui témoigne vraiment de la force de la division des poids welters. Les deux combattants sont des hommes que je serais ouvert au combat alors que je continue à unifier la division dans 2018. En tant que fan de combat, Voyons ce qui est "spécial" à propos de Kell Brook, et nous verrons si Errol Spence peut nous montrer qu'il est "La Vérité". Ce devrait être un grand combat et je regarderai.

 

DANNY GARCIA – Ancien champion du monde poids welters

“Je pense que c'est un 50/50 lutte. Je pense que la personne avec le meilleur plan de jeu va gagner. Il y a beaucoup de pression pour aller dans le jardin de quelqu'un comme le fait Spence, et il n'a jamais affronté un combattant à son apogée auparavant comme Brook. C'est définitivement un test pour lui et un grand pas en avant dans la compétition. S'il est prêt, Il peut le faire. Il doit juste y aller et rester concentré.

 

“La division poids welter est la meilleure division de boxe. J'ai toujours l'impression d'être l'un des meilleurs poids welters au monde, même si j'ai échoué. Je n'ai jamais pensé que je dirais qu'une défaite me rendrait plus fort parce que je ne me voyais pas perdre. Je veux récupérer mes titres et être considéré comme le meilleur de la meilleure division.”

 

SHAWN PORTER - Ancien champion poids welter & WBC actuel Non. 1 Concurrent

"Je suis content qu'Errol obtienne sa chance pour le titre, et je suis content qu'il aille en Angleterre pour ça. Je tire évidemment pour l'Américain. Errol est un athlète phénoménal et un grand boxeur. Je pense qu'il est prêt à montrer quelque chose au monde, mais Kell est là-haut dans ce haut niveau de poids welters. Les gens qui écoutent devraient être ravis. Je sais que j'ai hâte.

 

"La division des poids welters est géniale, de haut en bas. Nous sommes là où nous devons être et devrions être. Le retour de la boxe vers les masses avec PBC est venu au moment idéal pour moi et le reste des meilleurs poids welters. Nous sommes tellement nombreux à pouvoir remporter un titre en ce moment. »

 

LAMONT PETERSON – WBA (Ordinaire) Champion du monde des poids mi-moyens

« Ça va être un combat difficile, mais je pense qu'Errol devrait gagner. Au moins je tire pour qu'Errol gagne. Il doit surmonter l'idée qu'il y aura probablement 30,000 les gens l'acclament, donc il doit montrer aux juges qu'il mérite de gagner.

 

« Brook est un bon combattant et va apporter son meilleur, mais je pense qu'Errol, à la fin, est le meilleur combattant. Mais il devra le prouver.

 

“La division des poids welters est l'une des meilleures de la boxe en ce moment. Nous avons beaucoup de bons combattants à leur apogée, ce qui rend la division forte. Et les gars sont prêts à se battre. Nous voyons le genre de combats que les fans veulent voir. Si cela continue, cela pourrait ramener la boxe là où elle était à l'époque où Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns et Marvin Hagler se sont tous battus. Donc c'est vraiment bon pour la boxe en ce moment.”
