Рассел-младший. took control of the action from the outset, peppering the shorter Escandon at will and dropping him in the third.
Однако, the brave Escandon fought his way back into the fight in the fourth and fifth stanzas, but Russell stormed into the seventh, battering the hurt Escandon and dropping him early, causing referee Harvey Dock to stop the fight at the 0:59 знак раунде (Нажмите ВОТ to watch the TKO).
About the victory, Рассел-младший. сказал, “В первую очередь, I want to say happy birthday to my father. Secondly, I’d like to tell all the fans that came to support me: I love you all. Спасибо.
I fought a tough competitor. I knew Escandon wanted to come and bring his best. I knew he was going to come forward. I was ready for him. We are warriors.
I want Lomachenko [следующий], that’s a no-brainer. I don’t want to do it for the fans or for the media, I want to do it for myself. And I want to do it twice. I’ll knock him out the first time and then, he’ll want me to fight him again.
I’d love to unify against all the other guys in the featherweight division. I’d like Leo Santa Cruz, Ли Селби, Oscar Valdez.
About the knockout loss, “I was getting my rhythm going and I felt like Gary was getting tired. I didn’t see him coming with the big punch he threw at the end and that was it. I went down and was hoping to get a 10 считать, but the referee didn’t give it to me and he stopped the fight.
I knew that Gary was going to go fast from the first to the fifth round and it was part of my strategy to let him do that and get tired. It didn’t work unfortunately.
Now we need to go back to the drawing board to rest and see what my manager has planned for me.
Said trainer and father Gary Russell Sr., “I’m ecstatic. I’m really happy. I got three wins. Three stoppages. It’s my birthday. Я 15 minutes from home and I can go home and relax.
We prepared fully for Mr. Escandon. We knew he was going to do what he didcome forward. I don’t want to diminish or take anything away from Mr. Escandon. He really is a hard, rough fighter. Throughout the course of the fight, I instructed Gary to hit him with some good shots. Some hard shots. It is a brutal sport.
Co-featured on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING in a 12-round clash for the IBF Interim Super Middleweight Title, кремень, Мичиган Андре Диррелл, (26-2, 16 КО), was declared the winner after round eight as Хосе Uzcategui, (26-2, 22 КО) Мерида, Венесуэла, was disqualified for a punch after the bell sounded to end the eighth round.
Uzcategui started fast, battering Dirrell from the opening round, cutting off the ring and slamming away with body and head shot through the first three rounds. Dirrell saw success starting in the fourth round, countering Uzcategui and scoring
хорошо.
Over the next four rounds, the contenders traded even as the fight became more hotly contested. At the end of the eighth round, with Dirrell backed into a neutral corner, Uzcategui let loose with a three-punch combination, the last left hand hitting the southpaw after the bell as he fell to the combination.
Following a delay to allow medical personnel to attend to Dirrell, referee Bill Clancy declared that Uzcategui was disqualified with Dirrell being declared the winner.
Said referee Bill Clancy about his decision, “The bell rang to stop the round. The round was over and Andre [Диррелл] was knocked out with an illegal punch. So therefore, Dirrell will win this fight by disqualification.
That’s a blatant foul. Earlier in the fight, I had warned Uzcategui. I warned him. Dirrell wins the fight, he was clearly unable to continue.
About the ending, Диррелл сказал, “All I remember was him [Uzcategui] throwing a shot at me at the same time the bell rang. After that everything was blurry. I remember a shot and then all went fuzzy.
I forgive Uzcategui. I forgive his camp. I don’t want to win a championship like this. I wanted to win fair and square. But I forgive him.
Following the decision, Dirrell’s trainer and uncle Leon Lawson punched Uzcategui in the corner, sparking a brief altercation in the ring that was quelled by MGM National Harbor security and local police.
I’m sorry for what my coach has done. My coach is my family, my uncle, and he was worried. He cares for me. He loves me. Please forgive him.
I’m going to stand up like a man. I didn’t win like I wanted to, но я вернусь. I’m going to come back as soon as they let me.
Stated a very disappointed Uzcategui, “I felt very good. I was hurting him the entire fight. I felt like I could hurt him anytime I wanted. Nothing he hit me with hurt me.
I was throwing a three-punch combination and I didn’t hear the bell. I didn’t mean to hit him. The third punch wasn’t that hard of a punch. I was surprised he stayed down.
He did the same thing against Abraham that he did against me tonight. He quit against me and he quit against him. I deserve to be the winner.
The live televised fights in The Theater kicked-off with two-division world championRances-Бартельми (26-0, 13 КО) winning a 12-round unanimous decision over valiant Kiryl Relikh, (25-3, 16 КО), of Baranovichi, Byelorussia. Scores in the WBA Super Lightweight eliminator were 116-110, 115-111 и 117-109.
The opening two rounds of the fight featured excellent action with both fighters attempting to impose their will. In the third round Relikh suffered a low blow resulting in a two-minute delay, однако, no point deduction was made by referee Kenny Chevalier. Following the low blow, the shorter Relikh became much more aggressive.
With the undefeated, blue-haired Barthelemy switching stances often in the fourth stanza, he was able to score at will against Relikh.
Однако, Relikh came out charging in the fifth, battering away against Barthelemy who was caught against the ropes and scoring a knockdown when the ropes held the Cuban up from a barrage of hard punches.
Recovering nicely in the sixth and seventh, Barthelemy badly hurt Relikh with a multitude of body shots from both hands.
In the eight round Barthelemy truly turned the tide for good in the ninth, drilling Relikh to the canvas with a blistering left hook to the body. Through the championship rounds it was all Barthelemy who finished strong against the game but outgunned Relikh.
Said the victorious Barthelemy, “It feels great to be going forward. The 11-month layoff really took a toll on my body and I felt it in the ring.
I knew it was a close fight but knew I should get a unanimous decision.
Relikh was a hard hitter. He surprised me with a right hook in the 5th round and I hit the canvas, so I knew I had to be careful going forward. I knew I had lost that round and had to come back stronger.
I took the sixth round to take a breather and then I came back to work the body. Once I knocked him down, I saw that he was hurt and protecting himself upstairs a lot more so I knew I was going to have to be more strategic to come out victorious.
Replied a very disappointed Relikh, “Of course I thought I won. Even TV thought I won. The referee did his job when he called it a knockdown in the fifth. I thought it was over.
The two low blows definitely affected me. It takes the wind out of you. This is boxing not MMA.
Hot super bantamweight prospect Гэри Расселл-Антонио улучшилось 8-0 with six knockouts with a dominating performance and knockout stoppage of Puerto Rico’s Jovany Fuentes, (7-9, 6 КО). Following knockdowns in the second and third stanzas, the bout was called to a halt at 0:22 из трех раунда.
Making his pro debut, супер легкий Гэри Рассел Antuanne, (1-0 1 KO) wasted no time dropping Joshua Ross, (2-4-4) Монро, LA to the canvas three times enroute to a stoppage victory at the 2:25 mark of the initial stanza.
Gervonta Дэвис went on the road in the first defense of his IBF Junior Lightweight World Championship and made a statement with an emphatic third-round TKO of previously undefeated local favorite Liam Walsh in the opening bout of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING from Copper Box Arena in London.
The southpaw Davis (18-0, 17 КО) set the pace from the opening bell, connecting seemingly at will with a strong left hook. В третьем раунде, America’s youngest world champion floored Walsh with a strong left after a series of brutal connecting combos on the inside. Walsh got up, but the onslaught continued seconds later and referee Michael Alexander stopped the championship bout at 2:11, with Walsh defenseless and on unsteady legs.
Tonight we were in the groove,” Дэвис сказал,. “I think he was hurt pretty bad. The ref did his job and it was just a matter of time. I used my boxing IQ tonight and picked my shots, and when I picked my shots I got him out of there.
I’m still on the rise. I became a champion super-fast, but I’m still rising and there’s more to come.
Promoter Floyd Mayweather was ringside in London to support his fighter, who he’s christenedthe future of boxing.
Уолш (21-1, 14 КО), who entered the bout as the No. 1 challenger and the decided local favorite at Copper Box, was disappointed with the stoppage.
He’s very fast, very active, but that was too quick,” Walsh said. “He won fair and square, but sometimes they stop the fight too early. I never got an opportunity. I’m not saying the result would be different, but give me a chance.
I’d love to fight him again. I’d fight him for next to nothing.

Brant Waiting Eagerly to Face Winner of N’Dam vs. Murata Tomorrow Night

No one is watching завтра night’s fight for the vacant WBA World middleweight title between Japan’s Ryota Murata #2-rated and France’s #1-rated Hassan N’Dam, at the Ariake Colosseum in Tokyo, Япония, more closely than WBA #3 contender Rob “Хорошо” Brant and his promoter, Грег Коэн.
Казарка (22-0, 15 КО), Святого Павла, Миннесота, is mandated by the WBA to face the winner в 120 дней.
Борьба, which will be Brant’s first for a world championship, will be the culmination of a fantastic 2016-2017, that saw him win the WBA-NABA Middleweight Championship via spectacular knockout over Decarlo Perez in January of last year and then go on to defend it successfully twice more.
Коэн, whose expert guidance has led Brant to fighting on national television numerous times while gaining a large following of fans, especially in his home state, says he’s probably more excited for Brant than he is.
Rob is a special fighter and an outstanding person and I’m so happy for him,” сказал Коэн. “He has worked so hard to get here and after завтра ночь, he’ll know who he’s facing for his first world title. I have always believed in Rob Brant and I know he’ll be victorious when the day comes. He’s a winner. That’s what he does.

Гильермо Ригондо, WBA World Super Bantamweight Champion:

“Training has been going excellent in Miami, we have been preparing for a great battle with Moises Flores. I respect Chucky, he’s a great fighter and these are the types of big fights that are great for boxing. Nothing better than two undefeated fighters putting their records on the line.

 

“Flores is going to come prepared for the fight of his life and so am I. We never underestimate anyone and two undefeated warriors will be getting in the ring for an exciting fight on June 17.

 

“I have been constantly avoided by all the fighters in my division. I am the best in the world at 122 pounds and one of the top pound-for-pound fighters. I can’t wait to show the world that I am still the best. I thank Flores for having the courage to get in the ring with me unlike many top contenders that have avoided the challenge.

I’m very grateful to fight on such a big platform, and I want to let boxing fans know to expect nothing but an exciting fight. My opponents feel my power and run after the first round. Chucky Flores is a brave undefeated boxer that is coming with all he has, and we’re ready to show why each of us is the best come Июнь 17.

 

“I’ve had everyone in my division run away from any mentions of me in the ring with them. My team is first focused on the Flores fight, and we’re ready to come and fight the best names in my division so that we can give the fans what they pay big Pay-Per-View money for, big exciting fights.

 

“I’m grateful to be a part of such a close community here in Miami, FL especially my boxing family at Tropical Park Boxing Gym. Miami is my home and I have all the support with me down here. I’m thankful for all the support that my fans brought during my training camp here in Miami. We have been able to bring boxing back here in Miami and make a great impact on the community, especially all the families that come to the park.”

LUIS ARIAS, USBA Middleweight Champion:

 

"Июнь 17, I start cementing my name and legacy in this game! I’m ready to steal the show and prove that I stand amongst the best in the division.

 

“I’ve stepped up all levels of training. I train six days a week with two hours of boxing, one hour of strength and conditioning, and run 3.5 - 5 miles on average. I’m also working with one of the top nutritionists, Chris Alergi. He helps me with what to eat and how to monitor my weight. Can’t wait to show all of my progress on Июнь 17.

 

“My message to Magomedov is simple…I hope he comes ready. He better be doing ‘em sit-ups. Я иду!

 

“When I step in the ring, it’s not just about getting a win anymore. It’s about winning and looking good. I’ve built up my record. Сейчас, I’m looking to put on an A-class performance. That’s what is going to make me stand out.

 

“My goal for the second half of 2017 is to put myself in top ‘contender’ position for what is probably the most stacked division in professional boxing. GGG, Канело, Lemieux…bring them on!"

 

VICTORIA LA MALA:

“It’s an honor to be singing the national anthem at such an anticipated boxing event. Being from a Mexican family, I grew up watching boxing and am a huge fan of Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. I can’t wait to cheer on my Roc family–Другой, Rigo and Luis–на Июнь 17."

MAINE ПОЛУЧАЕТ СОБСТВЕННУЮ ВЕРСИЮ MCGREGOR-MAYWEATHER С ИЮНЕМ 17 СУПЕРФАЙТ

 

 

ПРЕСС-РЕЛИЗ: Льюистон, Мэн (Мая 19, 2017) - Когда-то два спортсмена из разных дисциплин единоборств редко соревновались друг с другом.. В 1963, легендарный рестлер и практикующий дзюдо Джин Лебелл сразился с боксером-подмастерьем Майло Сэвиджем в матче, который считается прародителем современных смешанных единоборств. (MMA). Позже, в 1976, Чемпион мира по боксу в супертяжелом весе Мухаммед Али встретился с японским борцом и мастером боевых искусств Антонио Иноки на показательном поединке в Токио, который транслируется по всему миру по замкнутому телевидению, предшественник платы за просмотр.

 

В последние годы все больше и больше бойцов ММА и боксеров переходят из одного вида спорта в другой.. Уже некоторое время, ходят слухи о потенциальной встрече мегазвезды бокса Флойда Мэйвезера и правящего вора в легком весе UFC Конора МакГрегора.. Если бой случится, это, несомненно, будет один из самых прибыльных матчей в финансовом отношении. И пока обе стороны прорабатывают детали этого конкурса, Поклонники боя в штате Мэн в субботу получат собственный супербой, Июнь 17 в Льюистоне, когда Рассел “Гаитянская сенсация” Ламур, Младший. (15-2, 7 КО – боксерский рекорд) соответствует Брюс “Pretty Boy” Boyington (14-9 – рекорд ММА) в шестираундовом боксерском поединке в среднем весе. Это будет боксерский хедлайнер гибридного соревнования по ММА и боксу, представленного New England Fights. (NEF) в почтенном Androscoggin Bank Colisee.

 

Дело не в том, что боксеры и бойцы ММА раньше никогда не встречались в штате Мэн.. Они часто делают в NEF, который продвигает оба вида спорта. Что делает это “супербой” статус каждого спортсмена в штате. Действительно, Ламур и Бойингтон для текущей местной сцены боевых действий то же самое, что Мэйвезер и МакГрегор для мировой сцены.. Они оба мегазвезды в штате, у каждого своя армия преданных поклонников.

 

“Со всеми разговорами о Макгрегоре против Мэйвезера, это интересный матч,” сказал тренер Ламура и глава боксерского клуба Портленда Боб Руссо. “Один из лучших средневесов Новой Англии по боксу против одного из лучших легковесов Новой Англии в ММА. . Я был приятно удивлен, когда нас вызвал Бойингтон.. Нам предложили несколько разных оппонентов, с которыми мы согласились, и я думаю, они передумали.. Затем нам позвонили, что эта проблема была на столе. Это то, что вызовет настоящий ажиотаж среди поклонников бокса и ММА.”

 

Ламур - лицо современного профессионального бокса в штате Мэн.. Он выиграл больше, чем 100 любительских боёв и является восьмикратным чемпионом региона по Золотым перчаткам., пятикратный чемпион Новой Англии и бронзовый призер чемпионата 2009 Чемпионат США по боксу среди множества других достижений. Ламур участвовал в полупрофессиональной Мировой серии бокса, где он занял первое место на конференции в среднем весе в Северной Америке.. Как профессиональный, Ламур был выдающимся. Он завоевал титул чемпиона Новой Англии в среднем весе в 2014. Ламур соревновался на ESPN’s Пятница Ночные бои серия бокса перед национальной аудиторией.

 

“Я буду драться с любым, кто окажется передо мной,” сказал Ламур. “Я уважаю бойцов ММА, они все крутые парни, но бросить вызов на боксерском ринге - большая ошибка. Я буду в отличной форме и буду готов. Ему лучше быть тоже!”

 

Брюс Boyington, ветеран морской пехоты Соединенных Штатов (Морская пехота США), не новичок на боксерском ринге. Свой дебют в профессиональном боксе он выиграл в 2014 на NEF карты. Бойингтон - нападающий мирового уровня. У него черный пояс второй степени по тхэквондо., восьмикратный чемпион штата Мэн и двукратный чемпион страны с бесчисленными чемпионскими титулами и медалями в традиционном боевом искусстве..

 

Это успех Бойингтона в клетке ММА., однако, чем он наиболее известен. Его яркое поразительное мастерство и нокаутирующее мастерство снискали ему репутацию “человеческий фильм” НЭФ. Он завоевал титул чемпиона NEF MMA Pro в легком весе в 2014 и успешно защищал его три раза, прежде чем отказался от пояса, чтобы подписать контракт с глобальной Мировой серией боевых искусств. (WSOF) продвижение в 2016.

 

С момента подписания с WSOF, Бойингтон боролся на некоторых из крупнейших арен в мире., включая Мэдисон-Сквер-Гарден в Нью-Йорке на андеркарте мероприятия, транслируемого на национальном уровне на NBC. Он побывал в России, чтобы бороться за крупный международный промоушн Absolute Championship Berkut. (ACB). WSOF потребовалось некоторое время, чтобы перегруппироваться под новым владельцем в качестве “Лига профессиональных бойцов,” Бойингтон хотел оставаться активным в ожидании следующего национального боя. Возможность снова сразиться перед многочисленными фанатами из родного города была непреодолимой..

 

“Бокс - его игра, но у меня было 25 профессиональные бои и более 100 Бои тхэквондо в мое время,” Саид Boyington. “Я рад и для меня большая честь делиться рингом с лучшим боксом, который может предложить. Единственное, что мне нужно, это вызов, и у меня есть один в Рассел. Приятно соревноваться дома, где все, по сути, началось для меня с NEF., так что я благодарю Мэтта (Петерсон, Совладелец НЭФ) и ник (DiSalvo, Совладелец НЭФ) за возможность и Расселу – давай танцевать детка!”

Undefeated prospect Marrero hires Galante as manager

ПРЕСС-РЕЛИЗ

Danbury, Коннектикут (Мая 19, 2017) – Rising Junior Welterweight Cristobal ‘Bazooka’ Марреро (4-0, 2КО, Нью-Лондон, Коннектикут) has bolstered his camp by hiring A.J. Галанте as his manager.

Галанте, Дэнбери, Коннектикут, has been managing and advising professional boxers for 6 годы. In addition to Marrero, Galante currently manages Omar ‘The Beast’ Бора (1-0, Danbury, Коннектикут) and is an adviser to Frank ‘Notorious’ Galarza (17-2-2, 11КО, Brooklyn, Нью-Йорк). He notably managed the career of Делвин Родригес (29-4-4, 16КО, Danbury, Коннектикут) from his fight of the year against Pawel Wolak in 2011, to his HBO Main Event bout against Miguel Cotto in 2013.

Galante thinks with a good plan in place, the sky is the limit for the 22 year old Marrero. “I’m really excited and appreciative to be hired by Cristobal. It’s always humbling when somebody of his talent and caliber seeks you and wants you to be part of their team. У него есть все инструменты, the hunger, amateur experience (82 бои), and personality to be a star. I’ve been brought onboard to monitor and add structure to his camp, and map out the future both for the short and long term. I’m looking forward to working with and building a successful relationship with his promoter, Джимми Берчфилд and CES, one of the most respected names in professional boxing.

In speaking with Marrero, it’s clear to see he is optimistic on his future. “My Dad and I have followed A.J. and have seen the great things he has been doing with everybody that he handles, as well as his gym and amateur program. When we met with him the first time, we left knowing this was a guy we could trust, and has what it takes to take me to the next level, we knew we had to hire him. He is a man of his word and I’m so excited about some of the ideas he has for my career. It just makes me hungrier!”

His hunger will be on display on Пятница июня 9 на Казино Твин Ривер в Линкольне, Род-Айленд, as ‘Bazookaaims to extend his undefeated record to 5-0 against fellow undefeated prospect Miguel Ortiz (2-0, 1KO, Springfield, Массачусетс).

Рассел-младший. was joined by his brothers, 2016 U.S. Олимпиец Гэри Рассел Antuanne and unbeaten prospect Гэри Расселл-Антонио, as the trio of brothers look to pick up a hat trick of victories in their hometown Суббота night and on the birthday of their father and trainer, Гэри Расселл Sr.
Вот то, что участники должны были сказать, Четверг from MGM National Harbor:
Гари Расселл JR.
I never magnify an event, even though it’s at home. The end objective is still the same. But I think it’s cool that everyone in our neighborhood has the opportunity to be in the arena and see what we do.
“Я 100 percent physically and mentally ready for the challenge and I’m on top of everything I can be.
When you get caught up in the hype, it’s a deficiency in yourself. You have to be able to focus on the objective over everything else.
I believe in my ability but also the ability of my brothers. So I’m not nervous for them. I know what they’ve been taught. They conduct themselves like young men in and out of the ring.
I want a unification bout after this. I’m ready for any of the other world champions. We can line them all up in the same night if you want. If I can’t get those fights, I’m going to move up in weight and bully around these bigger guys.
I look at each fighter as their own individual. We don’t prepare the same way for every opponent. He’s a tough fighter who comes forward. He’s very physical and I expect him to be at his best в субботу. It’s up to me to counteract what he does.
“Я люблю этот спорт. я люблю то, что я делаю. I love being able to prepare for no one else, but the person across the ring and then dismantling him.
We worked on versatility most. We believe in the sweet science. A lot of these guys just win because they’re stronger and faster. We want to be more technically sound too.
ОСКАР Escandon
This is a very important fight for my career. This is going to elevate me to where I want to be and give me the platform to do anything in the sport. I’m very well prepared for this.
I feel strong and healthy at 126-pounds. I’m focused on this fight Суббота ночь. I’ll fight anyone but right now I have to get past Gary Russell Jr.
In my last fight I was the underdog. People counted me out. Same thing applies here. I’ve done the work and I’m confident that I’m going to win.
I didn’t have complete training camps with my past trainers, but now I’m with Ruben Guerrero. I’m learning so much. You can look at me in my previous fights and you’ll see a vast improvement now.
I want that green (WBC) belt a lot. Green is my favorite color. I want to be the best and to me, winning that title signifies that I am the best. To do that I have to beat the best, and that is Gary Russell Jr.
I don’t like to talk much but I will say that I’m coming to bring this world title back to Colombia. I respect Gary but my mindset is that I’m taking this title home.
Андре Диррелл
It’s been a long hard journey for me. But I’ve always managed to climb back on top. The hard work that I’ve put in will make Суббота night easy work.
My opponent is a fantastic fighter. If anyone should be in line for a title it’s this guy. He has the the power and he has the skill. I just believe he’s up against a better and tougher opponent.
I’m going to get in the ring and display all of my abilities. I’m very confident and ready. It’s time for Andre to get on top and stay on top.
I’ve been out of the ring for a while but most importantly, I’ve stayed in the gym in training the whole time. I’ve kept positive mentally as well. Everything is going upward right now and I’m going to take advantage.
Uzcategui has everything a world champion needs to get to that title, but he’s facing a more skilled competitor on Мая 20. He’s deserving of the opportunity and that’s why I trained so hard for this fight.
The title means the world to me. We fight for the titles first. We’re all coming from the amateurs where we got trophies. My love will always be here with the sport until the day I retire.
ХОСЕ UZCATEGUI
You won’t want to miss any of these fights в субботу ночь. It’s a great card and I’m planning to steal the show.
I like when my opponent talks a lot. None of the stuff my opponent says can help him in the ring. It’s just me, him and our fists.
It’s a lot of responsibility to be the top contender for the belt. I have to make it clear that we deserve this so that I can move on to bigger and better things.
People are going to get to see my power on display Суббота ночь, but also my other skills. I can do it all in the ring and I’m going to prove it.
After this I want to take on James DeGale and Gilberto Ramirez. I’m coming to clean out this whole division and be undisputed. It starts в субботу.”
Rances Бартелеми
I’m living a dream right now that I myself never in a million years imagined. Every time I get to speak with my mother in Cuba, I tell her of this dream that I am currently living and how it is still surreal to me. To be able to fight on these big cards in the U.S. after the long journey, after all the setbacks, I could not be any more grateful.
Being a world champion in two different weight divisions is something still unreal to me after people doubted whether I would even become a world champion one day. But this journey does not stop here for me. I have the urge to keep on going, make history for my people, and fight the big names in boxing.
Everyone in my team supports and motivates each other because we know we as Cubans have to work twice as hard as everybody else. There is an unfair representation of Cuban boxers among the press and fans here in America. We are misconstrued as being boring fighters therefore we are determined to erase that stigma and prove to everyone that we can brawl and put on a good show just as much as we can box.
I have been working on some new and different things to add to my arsenal this training camp. My whole team has been incredible and pushed me every day.
“Не пропустите этот бой в субботу ночь. It’s going to be eventful and exciting. I’m coming to get a spectacular win.
KIRYL RELIKH
I’m very happy to be here and be a part of this great show. I will do my best to give a great fight в субботу.
Camp was perfect. I have a great team and I’m ready for anything. We worked hard and it’s going to be a great performance.
I’m ready for any style that that Rances Barthelemy can bring into the ring. We thought that we got the win in Scotland against Ricky Burns, but it is very hard to win on points on the road.
I always fight in different countries so this is just another one on my list. It’s normal for me. I’m very ready for the challenge and I’m expecting a great fight.
I hope that people like my style. I’m going to entertain the fans and get a victory over Rances Barthelemy в субботу ночь.”
GARY ANTUANNE RUSSELL
I get to pick up right where I left off after the Olympics. I’m fighting on the same night with my brothers for the first time in so long. It was one of my first amateur fights when we last did it.
“Я чувствую себя очень хорошо. We’re making a statement and we’re making history. What’s not to be excited about?
Mentally and emotionally the Olympics really helped me for the pros. You have to develop over time. We’re constantly training and sharpening our tools. This is a different stage, that’s all.
I hope everyone is ready for Суббота ночь. There were some mishaps at the Olympics. Life is going to throw you bumps to get over, и вот что я собираюсь сделать. Everyone better keep their eyes open Суббота, because it might be quick.
Гари Рассел АНТОНИО
I’m really excited about this fight and competing alongside my brothers. It feels good to come home and fight. My family and friends will be in the building.
I can’t wait to get in the ring and show what we’ve been working so hard on. All the hours in the gym with my dad and brothers is going to pay off on fight night.
I’ve seen some video of my opponent. I know his weaknesses and strengths. We’re going to come exploit it on fight night.
Гари Рассел SR., Father and Trainer of the Russells
We work hard in the gym. Everybody has a plan until they get hit. We know that he’s going to bring pressure and we’ll be ready for it.
I’m really happy about this opportunity. We can get it all done in one night and put on a great show for everyone.
I’m definitely in fight mode. There are no extra nerves at all. I just want to get this done and get it done right.
I can’t really put Escandon in the same category with the top guys we’ve faced. He’s a short fighter. Most people in these weight classes are taller than Gary. At that size, the only way you can fight is straight forward. He’s not going to out box us.
РУБЕН ГЕРРЕРО, Escandon’s Trainer
We’re ready over here. We’re going to do what it takes. Мы знаем, что мы против. He’s one of the best. We’ll prove who is the best в субботу. This is going to come down to a war. Gary knows what he’s going against.
I helped Escandon set up a camp in Las Vegas for this fight because this was a huge opportunity. We were up in the mountains and that’s where I wanted him. He’s going to be great on fight night. He’ll be ready to go. It’s not easy to train in Vegas.
We’re coming to win. We can’t control the judges but we know they’re fair. We’re expecting a fair shake. We’re going to control what we can.

ЛОНДОН (Мая 18, 2017) – IBF Junior Lightweight World Champion Gervonta Davis, непобежденным Нет. 1 contender Liam Walsh and promoter Floyd Mayweather got into a jarring session during Четверг final press conference at Landmark Hotel in London just two days before Субботу world title clash on SHOWTIME from Copper Box Arena.

 

Baltimore’s “Tank” Davis, America’s youngest world champion, will attempt to become the first American to successfully defend his title on British soil in nearly a decade*, while Walsh (21-0, 14 КО) aims to dethrone the man that Mayweather has christened the “future of boxing.” (*Заметка: Малиньяджи против. Lovemore Ndou in 2008)

 

Дэвис против. Walsh is part of a split-site, four-fight SHOWTME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast that begins on Saturday, Мая 20, на 6 p.m. И/3 p.m. PT. В главном событии, Гэри Расселл-младший. will make his second featherweight title defense and long-awaited homecoming against mandatory challenger Oscar Escandon live from MGM National Harbor just outside of Washington, D.C.

 

The 22-year-old Davis, who has won by knockout in 16 из его 17 Профессиональные бои, will make the first defense of the IBF belt to won via KO over previously unbeaten Jose Pedraza in January. The 30-year-old Walsh has won by knockout in three of his last four bouts and will be a decided local favorite at an expected sold-out Copper Box Arena.

 

The pound-for-pound great turned promoter Mayweather and Walsh’s two brothers, fellow professional fighters Michael and Ryan, led the jarring during Четверг festivities with Mayweather claiming “I’m 40 years old and I’ll kick all three of your asses in the same night.”

 

Team Walsh was “not intimidated one little bit” by Mayweather or Tank, while the southpaw Davis promised “В Субботу night you’ll be on your ass. And then your brothers can get in next.”

 

Below are highlights of what the participants had to say в четверг:

 

GERVONTA Дэвис:

“I’m just on a whole different level. I do know they built you good, but you’ve been dropped before. They’ve been protecting you from the power, so I know you have no chin. В Субботуnight you’ll be on your ass. And then your brothers can get in next.

 

“Please don’t run Суббота ночь.

 

“I’ve just been trying to stay level-headed. Getting that belt brings me that much closer to what I want to do – to take over the sport of boxing. With the performance I put в субботу night it will bring me a step closer to being the star of boxing and follow after Floyd Mayweather.

 

“Having Floyd in my corner gives me a lot of confidence. Floyd has been pretty hands on with me, he’s been getting up and training and running with me. He was my hero in the sport of boxing coming up so to just have him in my corner now is amazing.

 

“I won the belt and now my focus is to take over the sport.

 

“Growing up in Baltimore, it has a high crime rate. Это было жестко. Where I’m from the gym is in the hood. If it wasn’t for the gym I’d either be in jail or dead. That’s not what I want to be. Boxing saved my life.”

 

LIAM WALSH:

“I’m always confident. As I’ve said many times, his performance against Pedraza was very good. I applaud him. Tank is the best fighter I’ve come up against in my career so far, but I’m also the best fighter he’s going to come against in his career so far. So it makes for a great fight.

 

“He’s physically very good. He’s very fast, very powerful. He’s a good puncher and performed beyond his years against Pedraza. You can’t knock his performance whatsoever, but there’s still a lot of questions that he has to answer.

 

“The southpaw stance doesn’t affect me too much. I can switch between the two. I’m comfortable in both stances so that doesn’t bother me.

 

“I don’t think I can put it into words what it would mean to win the title. It’s been a dream of mine since I was a little child. The feeling, the emotion, I can’t put it into words. This is the biggest night of my life.

 

“There are definitely flaws in his game and they’re there for me to exploit. I plan to take advantage of his mistakes. Когда я был 22, there were definitely mistakes I made that I wouldn’t make now. So maybe it’s the perfect time to fight him.

 

“I’m not intimidated one little bit. Not by Floyd, not by Tank, not by anyone.

 

“I predict I will win the fight. I wouldn’t be shocked if I won by knockout, I wouldn’t be shocked if I won on points. You won’t see me celebrating like a mad man if I knock out Tank because I know I’m capable of it.”

 

Флойд Мэйвезер:

“It’s not just one performance. It takes more than just one performance. We truly believe that he can be a great fighter, but he came in his last fight with only 16 fights and beat the champion. We know he’s not going to lay down. This kid has dynamite in both hands. If he keeps going out there beating great fighters he cannot be denied.

 

“When its lights, камера, action and the bell rings, 17 times he came out victorious and 16 посредством (нокаут).

 

“His team does a remarkable job, but it’s my job as a friend and a father figure to tell him to come to Vegas to get him the best work. We wanted him to have different looks. We want guys that were going to push him, give him different styles.

 

“This kid, he busts his ass day in and day out. We’re going to continue to go out there and do what we do.

 

“I already conquered your country once (with Ricky Hatton) and now we’re going to conquer it again в субботу.

 

“I don’t miss being in the gym at all. If I can push this fighter to surpass me and break every record, that’s a goal of mine. That’s what we’re here to do. Записи, чтобы их нарушать.

 

“I remember when I met Tank on the Canelo (Альварес) press tour and he asked to take a photo with me. When I took a photo with him I said, ‘there’s something about that kid that looks special.’

 

“He came to my gym and put in some real good work and I reached out to him and said, ‘whatever it takes to work with you and get you to the next level, let’s make it happen.’ I told him, ‘if you listen to me and continue to work hard I truly believe you can be world champion в 24 месяцы.’ And that’s just one stepping stone. As of right now he’s one of the only fighters in boxing facing back-to-back undefeated fighters.

 

“Frank Warren, Лиам Уолш, we just want to commend you guys for stepping up to the plate and making this fight happen and giving the fans what they want to see. The fans want to see blood, пот и слезы.

 

“Tank is always in tremendous fights, he’s a big knockout artist. I truly believe in my man, and I want to work with him until the end of his career.”
