פילדלפיה, הרשות הפלסטינית. (מרץ 2, 2017) – Middleweight’s טיירון רונסון is ready for his bout with Brandon Quarles that will be the eight-round main event on יום שבת, March 11th as King’s Promotions will stage it’s first show at the SugarHouse Casino ב פילדלפיה.
Brunson of Philadelphia has a record of 23-6-2, עם 22 knockouts.
The 32 year-old Brunson turned professional in 2005, and started his career with 19 consecutive 1st round knockouts. Included in that streak was a stoppage over James Morrow (8-1-2). In his last bout Brunson and Ismael Garcia fought to a 10-round draw on October 14, 2016 בפילדלפיה.
My camp has been great,” said Brunson. “I don’t know much about Quarles, but I am coming to work. I don’t know if he will be putting in the work that I will on March 11.
רונסון, who a decade ago was destined for greatness, believes a win will put him right back in the mix for a title shot.
This win would put me closer to my dream. Weather it is fighting for the USBA title or the NABF, I know something big will come after this.
It is great to fight at home. It puts me in a comfort zone to fight in front of my home crowd. I want to thank King’s Promotions for believing in me, and also want to thanks the fans of Philadelphia and around the world for sticking by me.
Quarles of Alexandria, יש וירג'יניה שיא של 18-3-1 עם 9 knockouts.
The 30 year-old Quarles is a 7 ותיק שנה, and has won 5 straight fights, with the latest being 6-round unanimous decision over Marcos Primera on June 25, 2016 in Greensboro, צפון קרוליינה.

My training has gone really well,” said Quarles. “I have seen Brunson fight on Showtime, and I haven’t seen anything from him that is over my head. This is a good fight for me. I am going into his hometown as the B-Side on his promoters card, so I know what I have to do,”

Quarles realizes what a win would do to kickstart his career.
A win would boost my career. I am not just an opponent, I am a guy who comes to win. I am ready for a solid fight, and show the people what I am all about. I don’t run my mouth, I let my fighting do the talking.
He knows how to lose, and so do I, so we will see who wants it more on מרץ 11.”

Here is what boxing experts, journalists and fighters had to, along with their predictions:
שון פורטר, former 147-pound champion, Keith Thurman MD 12 דני גרסיה:I’ve watched both Danny Garcia and Keith Thurman all the way through the amateurs and now in the pros. They’re both really good fighters. Both strong. Both intelligent. Both make good adjustments over the course of a fight. I’m choosing Thurman to stay undefeated because, I think not only is he a little stronger, and a little smarter, but I also think his boxing ability is superior to Garcia’s.
I think he’s going to give Danny problems when he moves. I think Thurman is going to have Danny off-balance. I think Thurman is going to make it very hard for Garcia to set up his offense. And I think based off of that one element Thurman will win a majority decision
מייקי גרסיה, three-division and 135-pound champion, Danny Garcia W 12 קית 'תורמן: I think Danny Garcia takes it. He finds a way to win. He has experience and has been able to make adjustments to get the win. Garcia by decision over Keith Thurman.
ג'ארט Hurd, 154-pound champion, Danny Garcia W 12 קית 'תורמן: I haven’t seen Danny Garcia hurt before, but I’ve seen Keith Thurman hurt to the body against Luis Collazo. Garcia took punches from hard-hitting Lucas Matthysse. No matter how much Garcia’s been the underdog, he always finds a way to pull the upset.
ברטו אחר, former 147-pound champion, Keith Thurman W 12 דני גרסיה: זה הולך להיות קרב גדול. I’m learning toward Keith Thurman over Danny Garcia.
רוברט גררו, multi-division champion, Keith Thurman W 12 דני גרסיה:I’m picking Keith Thurman to win by decision over Danny Garcia. Both fight with a lot of heart, and it’s going to be a Fight if they Year type of fight. I just think Thurman has more weapons in his arsenal. Both are undefeated, so may the best man win.
קווין Iole, Yahoo! ספורט, Keith Thurman UD 12 דני גרסיה: I love this fight and I really feel that it’s a toss of a coin. Danny Garcia has faced better opposition, but I feel that Keith Thurman is about to make a statement.
טים Dahlberg, Associated Press, Danny Garcia W 12 קית 'תורמן: קודם כל, this looks to be a terrific fight, so props to both fighters for risking their undefeated records and not hiding behind belts. This could easily go either way; I see it going to a decision with Danny Garcia winning. I think he’s fought the better opponents and will be able to land the bigger punches against a boxer in Keith Thurman who will at times give him fits.
בוב ולין, USA Today/Boxing Junkie, Keith Thurman TKO 10 דני גרסיה: Keith Thurman is fresh, confident as hell after beating Shawn Porter, as relaxed as I’ve seen him, in the best shape of his life and, thanks to Angel Garcia’s mouth, perhaps just a little bit extra motivated to shut that mouth. Danny Garcia is an underrated boxer and puncher and will give Thurman all he can handle. But eventually “סוויפט” will succumb to Thurman’s power. Both men have a strong desire to be the face of the welterweight division, if not all of boxing. אני מאמין “פעם אחת” will prevail.
Mike Coppinger, היום ארה"ב, Boxing Junkie, Danny Garcia SD 12 קית 'תורמן:Danny Garcia is the more experienced, לוחם מנוסה, and it should be apparent on March 4. The underrated Philadelphian never got enough credit for upset wins over Amir Khan and Lucas Matthysse, and it seems he’s being overlooked again. Keith Thurman will bring it, and both men could be hurt in a fight with many big exchanges. But I say Garcia ekes out a deserving nod.
גורדון מרינו, וול סטריט ז'ורנל, Danny Garcia W 12 קית 'תורמן: I am picking Danny Garcia by a decision. I think Garcia has superb skills. Keith Thurman is explosive but wild and I think Danny will be able to capitalize on the many openings that Thurman will give him. Danny has a good jab and he closes the distance well. I think Garcia is a multi-dimensional fighter whereas with Thurman, all his eggs are in the knockout basket. On the mental side, both of these guys have great confidence in themselves and a mighty will to win. They both have solid chins. This is a terrific matchup.
תומאס Gerbasi, BoxingScene.com, Keith Thurman W 12 דני גרסיה: Keith Thurman has been fighting at a higher level more consistently than Danny Garcia as of late, and the Shawn Porter fight showed him to be able to make adjustments on the fly when necessary. All should serve him well ביום שבת.
בובי קאסידי, Newsday, Danny Garcia W 12 קית 'תורמן: Any time you have two undefeated fightersin the prime of their careersit’s extremely difficult to pick a winner. I think the difference in this fight will come down to experience. Danny Garcia has been fighting better competition for longer. He’s been here before and when the going gets tough, he’ll be able to weather the storm and box through it. While Keith Thurman holds the decisive edge in power, I think Danny is more versatile. He’s quicker and is the better boxer. Danny has more tools to win the fight than Thurman and he’s going to need all those tools. I think Garcia wins a close unanimous decision.
מיץ 'אברמסון, RingTV.com, Danny Garcia UD 12 קית 'תורמן: I think Danny Garcia has the better chin, has fought the better competition and punches harder than Keith Thurman, who has become more of a fighter who relies on movement as he’s fought better competition. Garcia has also been more active of late, fighting in November while Thurman will have been off since last June. While the fight will be highly competitive, I think Garcia will pile up enough early rounds to win a tight unanimous decision.
ג'ייק דונובן, FightNights.com, Keith Thurman MD 12 דני גרסיה: The last welterweight unification title fight between unbeaten champs ended in a controversial decisionfor the fight time, one going against Oscar de la Hoya who was denied victory versus Felix Trinidad in 1999. My hunch is this night becomes Garcia’sOscar nightin his career for the wrong reasons, as he finally does enough to convince even his harshest critics that he belongs among boxing’s elite, only for Thurman’s hand to be raised at night’s end in a controversial decision.
Zachary Alapi, Fansided, Danny Garcia MD 12 קית 'תורמן: Although Garcia has been criticized for his level of opposition since defeating Lucas Matthysse, he remains a technically sound, battle-tested fighter who always seems to find a way to adapt and win. Look for Garcia’s vaunted left hook, גוף יריות, and more precise punches to edge out Thurman’s incredible combination of power and speed. Garcia never seems to jump off the proverbial page, but he should be able to do רק enough to negate Thurman’s superior attributes and dictate tempo. Expect a close decision that will reflect the quality of both fighters and that could necessitate a rematch.
ג'ו Santoliquito, RingTV.com/CBS Philly/Sherdog, Keith Thurman W 12 דני גרסיה: I think Keith Thurman has too much firepower for Danny Garcia. Thurman has taken on much tougher opponents over the last two years, and that can only make a fighter sharper and better. מצד השני, I don’t think Garcia has pushed himself the way that he could. It should be a great fight.
ברנרד פרננדז, The Sweet Science, Keith Thurman MD 12 דני גרסיה: I got called a homer for picking the Philly guy, דני גרסיה, against Amir Khan, Lucas Matthysse and Lamont Peterson when a lot of my colleagues in the boxing writing fraternity went the other way. הפעם, it seems feasible to lean the other way. Call it Keith Thurman by majority decision.
Cliff Rold, BoxingScene.com, Danny Garcia W 12 קית 'תורמן: Danny Garcia seems to come up biggest in big moments, underachieving when the lights are dimmer.
Keith Thurman has a power advantage, but Garcia maybe the better boxer. With Garcia’s left hand counter being a tonic to a Thurman who sometimes lunges, in what could be a messy fight at times, I’ll go with Garcia by the skin of his teeth.
נורמת Frauenheim, The Ring/15rounds.com, Keith Thurman UD 12 דני גרסיה:Amir Khan and Lucas Matthysse are two good reminders of just how foolish it is to pick against Danny Garcia, who is always at his resilient best when odds and pundits line up against him. But Keith Thurman knows that, and he’s smart enough to know that history repeats itself if its lessons are ignored. He won’t.
Thurman also knows how to use a very good jab, which could be a foil against Garcia’s dangerous counter andif consistentenough to score points in a narrow, perhaps controversial victory.
ריאן Songalia, RingTV.com/The Rappler, Danny Garcia W 12 קית 'תורמן: I like this fight. Boxing needs more match ups between two undefeated champions in their prime with everything to lose. When you have real stakes, there’s no need for added drama. I’m going with Danny Garcia in a close one. I think his experience, his dedication to the body work, and his jab will be the slight difference against Keith Thurman. It seems that every time Garcia’s in a situation like this, he finds a way to win.
Paul Magno, The Boxing Tribune, Keith Thurman SD 12 דני גרסיה: I can’t wait for this one. Keith Thurman-Danny Garcia is one of the most intriguing fights in recent memory-almost a textbookwill vs. skillbout between two 20-something elite-level fighters in their prime. Garcia has a cool precision about him and a well-honed skill set. תורמן, מצד השני, is an explosive, physical fighter who is equal parts awkward and overpoweringly athletic. If Thurman boxes from the outside, using his legs and trying to play it calculated and safe, Garcia will be able to pick him apart and eventually take him out.
עם זאת, if Thurman bull rushes in, like he did against Shawn Porter, Garcia will have trouble. I’m expecting the latter. Garcia is a technical fighter at heart and will have trouble with a Thurman who is mauling him and making it difficult for him to execute. I see this as a close fight that will have a constant ebb and flow of action, אבל, ultimately, an in-your-face Thurman will have just a bit too much energy and raw ambition for Garcia. I see a split decision in favor of Thurman with all three scorecards in the 115-113 או 116-112 range and talk of a rematch buzzing even before the decision is announced.
ג'יימס “Smitty” נַפָּח, In This Corner TV, Keith Thurman W 12 דני גרסיה: My pick is that Keith Thurman will beat Danny Garcia by decision with his overall versatility and athleticism.
Diego Morilla, The Sweet Science/Prize Fighters, Keith Thurman W12 Danny Garcia: דני גרסיה, to put it bluntly, is due to lose. Not only because his father’s big mouth makes us wish that he will finally learn a lesson, but rather because he has gotten used to fighting barely at the level of his opponent and getting away with it.
Keith Thurman has all the vulnerabilities that Garcia could easily exploit in his favor, but it’s hard to envision Danny surviving the kind of action that Thurman endured and overcame against Shawn Porter and others.It will be a tough, fast-paced fight in which Thurman will probably allow Garcia to steal a few rounds with his great counterpunching skills, אבל “פעם אחת” will apply the right pressure at the right time during the fight to earn a solid victory by unanimous decision.
גארי “דיגיטלי” וויליאמס, Fightnews.com, Keith Thurman late-round KO Danny Garcia: I am going with Keith Thurman, possibly by late-round knockout. Thurman’s boxing movement will be the key. It will be tough for Danny Garcia to get inside. Garcia is going to try to make it a rough one but I just think Thurman will be too much overall.
Alec Kohut, freelance boxing writer, Danny Garcia W 12 קית 'תורמן: Danny Garcia has all the tools. Power in both hands, great footwork and wonderful ring generalship. קית 'תורמן, מדי, has great skills, but not as refined as Garcia’s.
If there is a knock on Garcia, it’s that if his power punches aren’t landing, he does not wear down an opponent for a late stoppage. He wins rounds and goes for the decision, which is what’s going to happen here. I’d love to predict a back and forth gut wrenching fight, but I believe Garcia will win, not by winning the fight, but by winning the majority of the rounds.
ג'ון ג'יי. Raspanti, Maxboxing.com, Ringside Boxing Show, Doghouseboxing.com, Keith Thurman W 12 דני גרסיה: This matchup is a classic 50-50 מאבק. I see Keith Thurman winning the early rounds with his faster hands and feet. The underrated Danny Garcia will find success to the body and begin to rally. The bout will be close going into the last three rounds, but I see Thurman doing a little more to win the fight by a close 12-round decision.
רוני שילדס, trainer of Jermall Charlo and others, Keith Thurman D 12 דני גרסיה: Keith Thurman-Danny Garcia is a 50-50 מאבק. Both guys are well-schooled, and I predict that it will end in a split-draw.
Stephen Edwards, trainer of 154-pound contender Julian Williams, Danny Garcia W 12 קית 'תורמן: Keith Thurman has the faster feet and more skiddish style. Although he is looked at as the puncher, Danny Garcia has to not chase Thurman. Garcia has to make Thurman come to him so he can counter punch. Garcia’s dilemma is does he chase Thurman or does he wait. He always makes the right decision. I say that he waits and wins a controversial decision.
דריק ג'יימס, trainer of 147-pound contender Errol Spence Jr.: Danny Garcia SD 12 קית 'תורמן: It should be an interesting fight. Danny Garcia has the speed, and he should be able to use that to his advantage. מצד השני, Keith Thurman should have more power and if he lands, Garcia may be in trouble. I am focused on our fight with Kell Brook, but I hope that we are able to fight the winner, which I think will be Garcia by close split-decision victory.
Ernesto Rodriguez, trainer of 154-pound champion Jarrett Hurd, Keith Thurman W 12 דני גרסיה: I pick Keith Thurman due to adjustments to box when he’s in trouble and his ability to hurt you with a punch. Tough bout to pick but I’m picking Thurman to beat Danny Garcia by decision.
הבל סנצ'ז, trainer of Gennady Golovkin, Danny Garcia W 12 קית 'תורמן:לדעתי, Danny Garcia wins a tough, hard-fought decision. I never really thought that Keith Thurman would be able to pull it out in a hard, 12-מאבק עגול.
ראובן גררו, father and trainer of Robert Guerrero, Keith Thurman W 12 דני גרסיה: I think Keith Thurman is going to win the fight, but he needs a knockout. If it goes to the distance, I think they’ll give it to Danny Garcia.
קווין קנינגהם, trainer of Devon Alexander, Keith Thurman W 12 דני גרסיה: I’ve got Danny Garcia winning by a decision over Keith Thurman.
FINAL TALLY: תורמן: 18, גרסיה: 14, לִמְשׁוֹך: 1

השוגר ריי לאונרד & DAVID DINKINS JR. MEDIA CONFERENCE CALL HIGHLIGHTS

“These are the type of fights that are going to bring boxing back to where it used to be.” – Sugar Ray Leonard

BOXING CHAMPIONSHIP SHOWTIME ב- CBS, מוגש על ידי אלופי פרמייר באגרוף,

Live in Primetime on CBS From Barclays Center in Brooklyn

NEW YORK (מרץ 1, 2017) – Boxing Hall of Famer and former undisputed welterweight world champion שוגר ריי לאונרד ו David Dinkins Jr., SHOWTIME Sports Senior Vice President and Executive Producer, hosted a media conference call ביום רביעי to discuss Leonard joining the CBS broadcast team for יום שבת welterweight unification between undefeated champions Keith Thurman and Danny Garcia. סטיבן אספינוזה, Executive Vice President and General Manger, ספורט ואוטיים, began the call with some opening remarks.

 

The SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on CBS, מוגש על ידי אלופי פרמייר באגרוף, broadcast will air live on CBS from 9-11 p.m. ו/6-8 p.m. PT from Barclays Center in Brooklyn, the home of BROOKLYN BOXING™. The broadcast is presented by Premier Boxing Champions and produced by SHOWTIME Sports® for CBS Television, both divisions of the CBS Corporation.

 

Leonard will join the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING broadcast team ביום שבת alongside host בריאן קאסטר, play-by-play voice מאורו Ranallo, International Boxing Hall of Fame analyst אל ברנשטיין and Sports Emmy® Award-winning reporter ג'ים גריי.

 

A five-division titlist and one of the most decorated boxers of all-time, Leonard brings unique perspective to the broadcast booth having been in a similar situation to Thurman and Garcia more than 35 לפני שנים. גרסיה, the WBC 147-pound titleholder, and Thurman, his WBA counterpart, will unify the exact same titles that Leonard (WBC) and fellow Hall of Famer תומאס Hearns (WBA) unified in their classic 1981 מאבק של השנה.

 

Leonard made his professional boxing debut on CBS in 1977, less than one year after he won gold at the ‘76 Olympics in Montreal as part of what is considered the greatest American boxing team in Olympic history. The מרץ 4 event will reunite Leonard with former CBS producer and current SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING Executive Producer Dinkins Jr.

 

Below is what the principals said יום רביעי on the conference call:

 

השוגר ריי לאונרד

 

“I was telling David [Dinkins] היום, this is the perfect matchup. אני מתכוון, you have two incredible fighters, each one of them with their own style and confidence with Keith and Danny. What also raises an eye is the unification. That’s big time for any fighter. And if these fighters can live up to their expectations, I think it’s going to be a home run, without question.

 

“These are the type of fights that are going to bring boxing back to where it used to be. It’s going to require these type of fights, these type of individuals, these type of athletes, these type of potential super stars, to really change and make boxing what it used to be.”

 

On the importance of having these types of fights on network television and what it takes to bring the sport back to what it used to be…

“These two young men, these two champions, these undefeated fighters, they fit the mold. I talk to people all of the time about what fights they want to see and this is a fight that has star-quality to it.”

 

On the advantages of each fighter…

“I look at Keith, and I’ve been watching, over and over, tapes of his previous fight. שוב, each of them bring something to the table. קית 'תורמן, seems to me, a little more fundamentally sound than Danny Garcia. But Danny Garcia, has a neutralizer. One thing I think is a big factor for the actual fight itself, is that both guys are great champs and both of them could take punches. אז, אני לא יודע. Put it this way, I wouldn’t bet my house.

 

“I do favor Thurman because he just seems to be a little bit more poised and collected. He just seems to be that kind of guy. קודם כל, he would never give up. Nor would Danny. But I just lean… it’s just my gut that tells me that Keith is a little bit more solid than Danny.”

 

On Danny Garcia…

“He’s just a guy that has that internal fortitude. He has heart, big heart. And he doesn’t give in. I think he’s the kind of fighter, you know where people short-change him. But I look at him and he’s one of those fighters that, I don’t train – I never train at all – but he’s the kind of fighter that I would enjoy training. Because he deserves to be up there.”

 

On the importance of facing the best opponents possible

“That’s extremely important. למרבה המזל, I was in an era where there were just a lot of guys out there who were so talented. If given the chance they would prove to be champions.

 

I always thought that we had to continue to raise the bar as a fighter, as a champion, and continue to fight better and better competition. כשנלחמתי, I swear, I wanted to be the underdog -psychologically, spiritually and mentally, if I wasn’t challenged, if I wasn’t considered somewhat of an underdog, I couldn’t perform the way I normally would. It’s what would get me going.

 

“I have said this a number of times: This fight is going to be bigger and better than what we anticipate because of what is at stake.

 

“The advantage [בשבילי] was the television network exposure, without question. I loved that. It pumped me up because I loved the exposure. I loved the attention. I loved the fights and that’s what also helped me to be the fighter that I became.

 

On what it’s like being ringside and broadcasting a unification welterweight fight much like the fights and titles he’s fought for…

“It is an out-of-body experience. It’s déjà vu. Like holy, אני 60. It’s a kind of thing that is so special and it’s so rare of a unification it seems like. It speaks volumes to me as far as the significance of it. And these guys, Keith and Danny, they know it. They realize it.”

 

DAVID DINKINS JR.

 

“When we were discussing the upcoming Thurman-Garcia fight in our senior staff meeting, many of us longtime fight fans thought about Ray’s first fight with Thomas Hearns and the many parallels there with Danny Garcia and Keith Thurman. You have two undefeated fighters and two titlists who have been on a path toward each other since Danny moved up from being a unified champion at super lightweight and moved into the welterweight ranks and gained a world title at 147 קילו.

 

“Ray and Tommy were two stars who it just seemed inevitable that they would fight. We feel the same way about Keith and Danny. You have two undefeated champions and it’s inevitable that they would meet and declare who would be the No. 1 לוחם ב 147 קילו.

 

I’m so happy that Ray can join us for this telecast and he and I have discussed over the past few days the many similarities between his circumstance during the Golden Era of Boxing when he had rivals like [רוברטו] דוראן, Hearns and [Wilfred] Benitez at 147 קילו.

 

To make the situation even sweeter it reunites myself and Ray after we had worked together years ago at CBS. He along with Tim Ryan ו גיל קלנסי formed a very entertaining announce team. Ray was in and out of retirement at that point. So his full-time, part-time job up at CBS was terrific fun. We got to see some great fights and work together. And now he joins Mauro Ranallo and Al Bernstein, who is also a Hall of Famer just like Ray is, ringside this בשבת הקרובה. It’s just incredible great fortune that Ray was available to join us and be a significant contributor ביום שבת."

 

סטפן אספינוזה, סגן נשיא בכיר ומנהל כללי, ספורט ואוטיים

 

“SHOWTIME continues to deliver the strongest lineup of any network in boxing. We are delivering the biggest and most meaningful fights and delivering to the largest possible audience. With none on pay-per-view.

 

בשבת קרובה SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING will present the most anticipated fight of the year live on America’s most watched network, הלשכה המרכזית לסטטיסטיקה. Danny Garcia versus Keith Thurman is without question the best fighting the best. They are two undefeated champions with a combined record of 60 wins and zero losses and squaring off in the prime of their careers to determine who the top dog is in boxing’s marquee division.

 

SHOWTIME has really made it our mission to televise the top-rated champions against the top-rated challengers in boxing’s most compelling weight classes.

 

“The fans have taken note, and the momentum continues to rise. אדריאן ברונר ו אדריאן גרנדוס fought a close fight two weeks ago that was our most watched main event תוך שנתיים.

 

This is just the second primetime fight on CBS in nearly 40 years since Ali-Spinks in 1978. We are grateful to our colleagues at CBS who are helping to deliver this important event for boxing. It is critical that we put our best foot forward in a very hyper competitive television market, and that is certainly what we are doing יום שבת night on CBS.”

TOP SUPER FLYWEIGHT PROSPECT, DYLANTHE REAL DYLPRICE, SIGNS WITH MAYWEATHER PROMOTIONS

לאס וגאס, NV (מרץ 1, 2017) – Continuing their ongoing momentum, מבצעי Mayweather expands their roster with top super flyweight prospect, DylanThe Real Dyl” מחיר (1-0, 1 KO). Philadelphia-born, but now residing in Sicklerville, ניו ג'רזי, Price has his eyes set on becoming boxing’s next superstar!
Price hails from a deep boxing background. אביו, who manages boxers, had a short-lived pro-career, and his two brothers both boxed at the amateur level. Price hasn’t looked back since being introduced to the sport of boxing at nine-years-old. The 18-year old Price made an impressive pro-debut just a few weeks ago in North Carolina, which ended with an explosive 61 second KO against Malcolm Speight.
Price just missed the age mark to participate in the Olympic games; however turning pro was naturally the next best move for the up-and-coming young fighter. Price has amassed numerous accomplishments as an amateur including: 2009 שׁוּרָה רִאשׁוֹנָה, 2009 PAL הלאומי, 2012 ג 'וניור. כפפות זהב, 2013 Junior Olympic National ChampionshipPinweight Champion, 2013 Junior Olympic National ChampionshipMost Outstanding Male boxer, 2015 USA Youth Champion (voted outstanding boxer), 2015 PAL הלאומי, 2016 USA Youth Champion (נבחרת ארה"ב), and he won a gold medal at the U.S. Junior Open and Youth National Championships in Nevada.
Boxing is in my blood,” says Price. “I was conditioned for this before I could remember, now I must remain focused, stick to the plan, and allow my team [מבצעי Mayweather] to help me become the best fighter I can be.
Leonard Ellerbe welcomes the young fighter by saying, “We couldn’t be more pleased with Dylan Price. He’s young and exciting, and has all the necessary tools to become a successful fighter, now it’s up to us to bring it all together.

Mario Barrios Talks Move Up In Weight, Career, And More

BROOKLYN, ניו יורק (מרץ 1, 2017) In preparation for his upcoming fight בשבת קרובה at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, ניו יורק, undefeated super-lightweight prospect, מריו באריוס (17-0, 9 קוס) talks about moving up in weight, and the status of his career. Barrios will face Mexico’s Yardley Suarez (20-6, 11 קוס) בהתקף שמונה עגול, in only his second fight at super-lightweight.
How is the transition from super-featherweight to super-lightweight coming along?
With the move to super-lightweight, my body feels a lot stronger. I’m still growing, so making super-featherweight was just getting to difficult. לחימה ב 140 pounds seems to be the best option for me right now in my career. Eventually I’ll be moving up to welterweight at some point.
What can you tell us about your upcoming opponent, Yardley Suarez?
I don’t know much about him except that he’s a tough fighter from Mexico with a winning record. He’s a right hander who’s been in the ring with some good opposition. I know he’s coming to fight so I’m not taking him lightly.
Can you talk about fighting in New York at the Barclays Center?
This will be my second time fighting out there. The fans are great and it’s a beautiful venue. The Barclays Center seems to have taken over the Madison Square Garden as the new boxing arena. As a kid, you always dream of fighting in a major city like New York. I’m just glad I’m able to start building a fan base here. I’m excepting a live crowd to be in attendance with the Thurman vs. Garcia fight taking place in the main event, and that has me excited.
Talk about training with your new coach, וירג'יל האנטר, and what you like about him?
In addition to Virgil being a great motivator, he also brings a lot of knowledge and experience to the table. I’m soaking up all everything that he’s teaching me. One thing about Virgil, he’ll let you know exactly how he feels. I love that he’s a no-nonsense type of guy. We are working really good together and I’m happy that he’s in my corner.
Do you feel you need a few more fights at super-lightweight before you start fighting the contenders in the division?
This will only be my second fight at super-lightweight, so I feel after a few more bouts, I’ll be ready to step up to the top contenders. I’m still getting used to the weight change, but like I said, אני מרגיש חזק, and I’m getting comfortable.
