Berikut adalah apa yang para peserta harus mengatakan Hari Kamis about the highly anticipated night of action:

 

YESUS Cuellar

 

“I’ve been wanting to fight Mares for about two years. It’s finally going to happen. This is what I want. I’m going to make a statement.

 

“I’m very happy that this fight is finally here. I can’t wait to get in the ring on Bulan Desember 10. I’m thankful for the opportunity. I know Mares is popular in Los Angeles, but I have a following as well and they will be there to support me.

 

“I’m training very hard and feeling physically strong. We never stopped training for this fight. Mares will come prepared for a war and I hope that’s what the fight is like. It’s going to prove who has the bigger heart.

 

“I’ve been training with Freddie Roach for about four months. It’s been a great partnership and he will make me even better than I’ve been. We’ve been practicing really hard. Freddie is handing me the tools to go to work. You will see all my experience come together on fight night.

 

“Mares is a great fighter. He’s been a champion for many years. He’s never faced an opponent like me. This will be his hardest challenge.

 

“I’m sure Mares will give it his all, just like I will. I’ve been dreaming about this fight for years. This will be a great battle, but I am prepared to take my belt back to Argentina.

 

“This is the most important fight of my career. I’m planning on knocking him out. I know that big things are going to come my way after I beat Mares.”

 

Abner MARES

 

“This is going to be a smarter Abner Mares. I’ve been learning a lot with Robert Garcia. They gave us a year to train and learn together. He’s a knowledgeable coach. He’s not just a guy who works mitts. This is the real deal. He gets you better and I’m really happy with him.

 

“I want to thank Cuellar and his team for waiting for this fight to come to fruition. I really appreciate that as a person. Ini akhirnya di sini.

 

“I was actually commentating the Stiverne vs. Arreola fight at Galen Center and it was a great atmosphere. The environment there is incredible and I was just imagining being up in the ring as the main event.

 

“I want the winner of the Frampton vs. Santa Cruz rematch. I want to continue to fight the best. I want to be known as a guy who fights the best.

 

“Being on the big stage like this has made me what I am. Being on the bantamweight tournament on SHOWTIME really started to show people what my style is like. To be back for another world opportunity, it means everything to me. I’m hoping to give them another exciting fight.

 

“I never talk down about a fighter. We all deserve our respect. We all have the same desire to strive to be the best. Cuellar is a beast. He hits hard. The record speaks for itself and that’s what has me so excited. This is the kind of fight I want to be in. Ini membawa yang terbaik dari saya.

 

“If I have to make it into a brawl, I will do that. I have the boxing abilities to be the smarter fighter and win by out boxing him. I learn from all of my fights, especially the losses. From the Santa Cruz fight I learned that I really need to listen to my corner. I let the crowd get to me and fought the wrong fight. I’m going to be ready for everything.

 

“This title coming home is going to be a nice Christmas present. It means the world to me. I’m going to add something to my trophy case.

 

“I’m a new man. I’m a grown man. I have two beautiful daughters. I like to learn something new every day. You will see a different Abner on Bulan Desember 10. This is going to end the year with the ‘Fight of the Year.’”

 

ROBERT GARCIA, Mares’ Trainer

“I’m thankful to Cuellar and his team for giving us this opportunity. He’s a good person who trains very hard and gives 100 percent all the time.

 

“I’ve been working with Abner almost this whole year. The dates for the fight have changed but now we have had a lot of time to get to know each other. We’ve been working side-by-side and we’ve had a lot of time to learn about each other.

 

“I think everybody should come out to this fight or watch on SHOWTIME, because it’s going to be one of the best fights of the year. I guarantee it.”

 

SEBASTIAN CONTURSI, Cuellar’s Manager

 

“Here we go again. It’s been a long process and there have been a lot of people who have helped get us to this.

 

“I want to thank Mares and his whole team for taking this fight. Hal ini akan menjadi perang. There’s no doubt about it. We love Robert, but we will have our back and forth leading up to this one. These are boxing war times, but he is a great person. But now we are with another one of the best trainers in the world, none other than Freddie Roach.

 

“Cuellar doesn’t live in Los Angeles. He actually still lives in Argentina. But he has stayed in Los Angeles throughout this whole process. He’s been away from his friends and family for almost nine months, but he has not complained once or asked to go home. That just shows the kind of professional that Jesus Cuellar is.”

 

RICHARD Schaefer, Ketua & CEO Ringstar Olahraga

 

“I’m truly excited to be here with all of you. This night will feature two top-notch matchups and four guys who are at the pinnacle of their respective divisions. I’m really excited for this to be my first event back.

 

“This is a statement fight for Jesus Cuellar. It’s the biggest fight of his career. But he has passed every test so far. He’s a true warrior, as all Argentine fighters are. He’s a big puncher with a sterling record. This is a tough challenge, but he has every intention of keeping that belt.

 

“Abner Mares is a true warrior and you will all have the opportunity on Bulan Desember 10 to go after a fourth world title against a strong champion in Jesus Cuellar, who has defended his title five times. But that is the kind of person Abner Mares is. He’s going to test himself against the best there is.

 

“I’m happy to be back and hopefully I’ll be able to add to this great sport of boxing. We’re here in a first class venue today and this is the kind of venue deserving of boxing. Boxing is about entertainment, and if you were to pick four boxers to put on an entertaining card, these would be them.

 

“These are going to be tremendous fights. Styles makes fights. Mares has been waiting for this opportunity and Cuellar is going to fight to keep his title. This is one of the most talked about fights around. It’s going to be all toe-to-toe action from the start to the finish.

 

“Two of the best matches in the sport are happening right here in Los Angeles on the same night. This is the best fighting the best and Los Angeles will be buzzing.

 

“It’s very special to be able to do my first event back in Los Angeles. To have two exciting, toe-to-toe battles on this card is great. Then the cherry on top is the opportunity to work with a man like Abner Mares. I met him at the 2004 Olympics and I was always impressed with his style and his personality and how he carries himself. "

 

BRITTANY GOOSSEN BROWN, TGB Promosi

 

“We’re thrilled to be here working on another great night of boxing. Bersama Sama, with the matchmaking expertise of my father, Tom Brown, and Richard’s promotional talent, this has the makings of an excellent collaboration.

 

“We’re especially looking forward to working with the great staff at the Galen Center. We were here once before, for the heavyweight world title fight between Chris Arreola and Bermane Stiverne. That was a sold out night and I have a feeling this one will be too.

 

“Los Angeles has the best fight fans in the world and I know that they will be there to support these great fighters.”

 

CHRIS DEBLASIO, SVP Sports Communications at Showtime Networks

 

“SHOWTIME continues to deliver the strongest lineup of any network in boxing, bar none. We recently announced a slate of upcoming events that is further proof that no one is committing more resources to move the sport forward than Showtime. And the next great run of evenly matched, world class fights begins on Hari Sabtu, Bulan Desember 10 di Los Angeles. This card features four fighters ranked in the top-10 of their division taking the right fight at the right time. These men are as respectable and dependable outside of the ring as they are ferocious and talented inside the ring.

“We’re proud to be showcasing these two world title fights on the network. These fights exemplify what SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING is all about.

 

“Mares and Cuellar might be the most evenly matched of the five featherweight championship fights we have presented on SHOWTIME this year. And we know that Jermall Charlo vs. Julian Williams, the latest in a series of fights at junior middleweight, will determine the future of the deep and talented division.”

Pelatih tinju Orlando Cuellar kembali ke Masa Depan di 5th St. Ruang olahraga

Tinggalkan komentar
MIAMI (Bulan Oktober 26, 2016) — Pelatih tinju yang terkenal secara internasional Orlando Cuellar telah menjadi lingkaran penuh, kembali ke yang terkenal 5th St. Gym di South Beach, tempat dia pernah mengunjunginya saat remaja untuk belajar dan sekarang melatih para pejuang dari enam hari seminggu.
Lahir di Havana, Kuba, Keluarga Cuellar bermukim kembali di Miami ketika dia berusia tiga tahun dengan Orlando yang tinggal di sana sampai sekolah menengah. Sebagai petinju amatir, Cuellar masih ingat dengan jelas saat menonton petinju di 5th St. Gym seperti Cassius Clay, Willie Pastrano, Vinnie Short dan Florentino Fernandez, serta pelatih legendaris, kakak beradik Angelo dan Chris Dundee.
“Saya menyaksikan dan belajar, mengambil sebanyak yang saya bisa,” Cuellar mengatakan. “Saat Ini, Saya menemukan diri saya bekerja dari 5th St. Gym selama enam minggu terakhir. Sungguh pengalaman yang luar biasa. Setiap hari, Anda tidak pernah tahu siapa yang akan berjalan melewati pintu di sana. Itu telah menjadi salah satu sasana tinju terbaik di dunia selama lebih dari 50 tahun. Dari hari-hari kembali ke Muhammad Ali, petarung tertarik ke gym ini karena sejarahnya yang kaya dan perdebatan yang hebat, serta ke area dengan restoran South Beach, klub dan pantai. Hangat, Cuaca yang lembab juga memudahkan para petarung untuk menurunkan berat badan saat berlari dan berlatih.
“(Pemilik) Dino Spencer sedang menjalankan 5th St. Tradisi gym. Setiap hari saya berada di sana menyenangkan bagi saya. Kelompok etnis campuran berlatih di sana dan itu adalah magnet bagi bakat. Ada perdebatan tiga hari seminggu – Saya menyebutnya Spar-a-rama – dan semua orang dipersilakan untuk menantang diri mereka sendiri. Perdebatan ini lebih baik daripada banyak pertarungan TV.
“5th St. Pelatih gym Guy Laieta telah berusaha meyakinkan saya untuk bergabung dengan tim selama lima tahun terakhir. Saya berbicara dengan Dino beberapa kali, mengekspresikan keinginan saya untuk melatih petarung keluar dari 5th St. Ruang olahraga. Dia mengatakan, 'Ayo lakukan.’ Keberhasilan dari 5th St. Gym saat ini banyak hubungannya dengan kepemilikan. Dino memiliki hasrat untuk bertinju dan dia sangat ramah, yang menetes ke staf dan pejuangnya. Getaran yang bagus sepanjang waktu!”
Cuellar berangkat ke Las Vegas masuk 1976 dan, setelah dia menyadari bahwa menjadi petinju bukanlah kepentingan terbaiknya, dia mulai melatih pejuang di sana 1981 keluar dari Gym Johnny Garcia. Setahun kemudian, dia memindahkan markasnya di Brooklyn dan mulai melatih petarung dari ikon tinju lain, Gleason Gym. Di 2000, dia bermukim kembali di Miami.
Dikenal sebagai juara dunia kelas berat ringan pelatih kepala Glen Johnson, Cuellar juga bekerja dengan juara masa depan seperti Nicolas Walters, Rances Barthelemy dan Erslandy Lara, sebaik Luis Franco, Aaron Davis dan Juan Carlos Gomez, untuk menyebutkan beberapa dari yang lebih terkenal. Hari Ini, dia adalah pemimpin kedua untuk beberapa petarung teratas termasuk Antonio Tarver.
Diakui di seluruh tinju sebagai guru yang unggul, Keberhasilan Cuellar sebagian besar dikaitkan dengan pelatihan petarung secara individu, berfokus pada kebutuhan pribadi mereka daripada memberikan instruksi dan perhatian yang sama kepada semua petarung.
“Setiap pejuang membutuhkan pekerjaan pribadi dan spesifik untuk melengkapi bakat yang diberikan Tuhan,” Cuellar menjelaskan. “Anda tidak bisa mengajar semua pejuang dengan cara yang sama. Saya mengkhususkan diri pada apa yang saya sebut sekolah lama bertemu sekolah baru. Sekolah tua bersifat terbuka dan pribadi untuk dikunjungi 15 putaran, sekolah baru adalah tentang melakukan lebih banyak pukulan, lebih banyak gerakan kaki dan pertarungan dari luar. Saya mengajar doffense: pertahanan + pelanggaran. Pukulan bukanlah vitamin, tidak ada yang harus diambil. Tinju lebih dari sekadar pertarungan refleks; satu pejuang versus pejuang lainnya, tetapi trik sebenarnya adalah bagaimana petarung menggunakan refleksnya. Saya mengajari pejuang saya cara mengubah celemek cincin menjadi ladang ranjau.”
Tinju telah memainkan peran besar dalam kehidupan Cuellar. Kembali ke 5th St. Gym hanyalah bagian lain dalam hidupnya yang unik.
“Saya hidup melalui pejuang saya,” Cuellar menyimpulkan. “Setiap kemenangan adalah momen yang paling saya banggakan. Tidak ada kemenangan besar atau kecil, setiap kemenangan adalah momen yang membahagiakan karena semua kerja keras dan pengorbanan yang saya dan pejuang saya lakukan selama kamp pelatihan.”
Orlando Cuellar sangat senang bisa kembali ke masa depan.

Williams won his first two fights before leaving boxing to obtain a B.Sc degree in Industrial Engineering at Eastern Michigan University. But after working in the field a few years, Williams felt the pull once again that he’d felt since childhood.
He wanted to be a boxer, full-time and give it a shot.
Saat Ini 27 tua tahun, dan 12-1-1, 4 KOs as a Kronk Gym super welterweight, Williams will make his next ring appearing by once again appearing on a Salita Promotions “Perkelahian Detroit” peristiwa, this one on Hari Sabtu, November 12, at the Masonic Temple against an opponent that will be announced shortly.

“My goal in boxing,” kata Williams, “is to become the second guy in my family to win a world title. Sekarang juga, I want to have the right fights to have that opportunity. I’ve been progressing and having challenging fights and getting good opportunities, so things are going well.”
Williams is, admittedly, not your typical fighter.
“I have a boxing style that is awkward. It’s not a traditional style at all. I fight with an off-beat tempo that throws you off. And I’m tall and long, so I box you and use my jab and then I set up shots.”
While Williams says he has no regrets with his decision to pursue fighting, someone in the family does have a few…
“My mom now says she wishes she would have let me do it sooner. But I understand. She didn’t want me to get hurt and was just being protective. Now she’s my biggest fan.”
More fights, opponents and rounds will be announced shortly. Pada laga malam, pintu terbuka di 5:00 pm and the fights begin at 6:00 pm.

Tinggalkan komentar

 

Toronto, Ontario, Kanada (Bulan Oktober 25, 2016) – Due to unforeseen circumstances, Lee Baxter Promotions’ card scheduled for Hari Kamis evening at the Powerade Center in Brampton, Ontario has been postponed until further notice.

Two of Baxter’s fighters scheduled to appear on that card, 130 pound contender Logan “Cotton” McGuinness and heavyweight prospect Mladen “Monster” Miljas, will now fight Bulan Oktober 28 at the Deerfoot Inn & Casino in Calgary, Alberta, Kanada.

A former NABA champion at 126, 130 dan 135 pon, McGuinness signed with Lee Baxter Promotions in July. McGuiness, 23-0-1 (10 KO), is fighting for the first since May 2015 and meets Noel Rincon, 18-9-1 (10 KO), of Mexico over eight rounds. With a victory, the 29-year-old Ontario native hopes to get back in the mix.

Known as “Monster” due to his crushing power and impressive physical stature, Miljas looks to go 2-0 as a pro when he challenges Mexican Adrian Garcia, 1-1 (1 KO), in a four rounder.

“”I’m glad I was able to keep Logan and Mladen fighting even after our card was postponed,” said Lee Baxter. “The card will be rescheduled in the near future but in the meantime it’s important to keep my fighters busy. Logan’s been very sharp in training and Mladen has the look of a good heavyweight prospect based on what we saw in his pro debut.”

Baxter, who is growing his stable of talented boxers, also looks forward to the career changing opportunity his fighter Samuel Vargas has when he faces unbeaten Danny GarciaNovember 12.

“We’ve got a lot of nice things on the horizon and I believe that Sammy is going to surprise a lot of people. His trainers know everything there is to be known about Garcia and Team Vargas was thrilled when we heard he accepted the fight.

I’ve also got Kane Heron returning from a few lingering injuries and he’ll be back by the end of the year. He is a truly special talent and one of boxing’s best kept secrets. Yang paling penting, we will continue to grow and invest in our fighters while providing quality events in Canada.”
