Os lutadores malharam na Rodada 1 Boxe em Vestavia Hills, Alabama enquanto se prepara para o card intitulado pelo favorito da cidade, Wilder, fazendo a quarta defesa do título dos pesos pesados.
Aqui está o que os lutadores tinham a dizer Quarta-feira:
Deontay WILDER
“Quando se trata de Deontay Wilder, as pessoas procuram os nocautes e eu entrego. O que me separa de outros pesos pesados ​​é a forma como eu nocauteio os caras. Eu não apenas te nocauteio, Eu realmente coloquei você para fora.
“Arreola definitivamente tem um estilo propenso a nocaute. Ele é um lutador de pressão que vai se apresentar a noite toda. Isso joga com o meu estilo. Eu amo lutadores de pressão que me desafiam. Eles me mantêm em movimento e pensando. Eu amo a doce ciência e a arte dela.
“Nunca vejo filmes de oponentes porque quero ser surpreendido e quero me colocar um desafio mental lá. Isso é o que torna este esporte tão bom.
“Birmingham me mostrou amor desde o primeiro dia. Eu não apenas represento minha cidade; Eu represento o estado. Em todo lugar é minha casa. Birmingham entende entretenimento e emoção e é isso que estou tentando trazer para as pessoas aqui.
“Estou aqui para defender meu título contra um lutador faminto. É um evento de mudança de vida para o homem que segura o cinto no final da noite.
“Eu nunca olho para além de ninguém. Mas eu posso olhar através deles. Antes de me tornar um campeão, Eu disse que queria ser um campeão ativo. Assim como eu estava ativo chegando. Este foi o meu tempo mais longo longe do ringue, então se tudo correr bem no sábado, Eu quero estar de volta nos próximos meses.
“Eu tenho a habilidade de sair da cama e lutar. Eu posso fazer coisas que lutadores normais não podem fazer. Eu não faço quilômetros de estradas. Eu sou abençoado com resistência.
“Este é o meu presente para retribuir ao meu estado. O boxe está crescendo rápido aqui. Eu e Jay Deas sempre quis fazer isso. Aquece meu coração que estamos vivendo nossos sonhos.”
Chris Arreola
“Deontay é um oponente muito difícil, então eu tenho que vir duro desta vez. Esta é a minha terceira chance pelo título mundial e eu tenho que fazer valer. A primeira vez eu era muito jovem, a segunda vez que fui pego com um tiro, mas desta vez estarei pronto para qualquer coisa.
“Lutando contra um cara como Wilder, Eu tenho que estar pronto para qualquer coisa. Mas ele tem que estar pronto também. Eu não sou desleixado. Eu tenho fogo e ele é outra pessoa no meu caminho. Eu estou aqui para pegar.
“Não há desafio de se preparar para uma luta. Eu sou um boxer. Isso é o que eu faço e isso é o que amo fazer. O boxe é o esporte mais cavalheiresco que existe. Vocês batem um no outro e apertam as mãos como se nada tivesse acontecido. Tenho trabalhado todos os dias na academia por isso.
“Esta é uma grande noite para nós dois. É uma grande oportunidade de estar no horário nobre da televisão. As pessoas vão assistir de graça em bares de esportes e isso nos coloca lá fora. Eles vão assistir a dois grandes homens em exibição indo para tudo.
“Eu peguei um dia de cada vez no acampamento. Eu tive que trabalhar e melhorar a cada dia. Não temo homem nenhum. Eu respeito o homem, mas eu não tenho medo dele. Todo mundo sabe que eu luto vindo pra frente. Eu tenho que ser inteligente e tenho que me mover em ângulos.
“Quero deixar um legado para trás. Quando eles falam sobre Chris Arreola, eles vão dizer 'ele fez isso.’ Eu peguei um longo caminho, mas aqui estamos nós agora.
“Espero que ele tenha muitos fãs e ele é muito merecedor disso. Ele fez as coisas acontecerem neste estado e este estado tem sorte de ter um lutador como ele. Mas ninguém pode entrar aí com ele. Os fãs não podem lutar por ele. Eu amo os fãs, mas eles estão lá apenas para assistir. Somos apenas eu e Wilder lá Sábado.
“Vencendo Bermane Stiverne e defendendo o título como ele tem, Eu definitivamente respeito Deontay. A humildade que Deontay demonstrou foi impressionante. Ele foi mais ousado subindo no ranking e extravagante. Agora ele está por conta própria e ele entende quem ele é.
“A maior diferença entre agora e o início da minha carreira é que estou confortável comigo mesmo. Minha principal motivação é ser boxeador. Eu sou boxeador primeiro. Não se trata de quem tem o melhor pacote de seis.
“Fraquezas são algo que eu tenho que trazer de Deontay. Alguém diferente aparece a cada luta. Temos um plano, mas teremos que expô-lo enquanto estou no ringue. Você pode ver vídeos o dia todo, mas pode não ser o mesmo cara no ringue.”
SAMMY VASQUEZ JR.
“Acho que essa luta dura no máximo oito rounds. É difícil prever e ele é um cara astuto, mas estou confiante. Vou ligar o corpo e tentar cansá-lo. Serei inteligente sobre isso, porque eu tenho que fazer uma declaração nesta luta.
“Meu alcance e minha altura vão me dar uma vantagem, mas ele é um lutador habilidoso. Todas essas coisas podem ser vantagens, mas eles também podem trabalhar contra você. Eu gosto de boxear e manter meu oponente ao alcance. Eu não posso deixar ele me sufocar. Estamos muito preparados para suas melhores fotos.
“Acho que vai ser uma grande luta. Ele tem um ótimo pedigree amador, mas acho que causei mais impacto como profissional. Somos iguais e isso será uma luta explosiva.
“Diaz é um canhoto habilidoso, igual a Luis Collazo. Ele tinha alguns nomes decentes em seu currículo. Acho que Lamont Peterson caiu na armadilha de Diaz um pouco, o que tornou aquela luta acirrada. Ele está chegando ao meu peso, mas ele traz e ele é perigoso.
“É bom estar aqui. Foi um longo campo de treinamento que levou a um cartão inacreditável como este. Estou muito grato pela oportunidade de estar aqui. Meu treinador (Charles Leverette) é do Alabama e representa o estado forte, então eu estive no ‘Roll Tide’ movimento.
“Quando eu era jovem, lembro-me de assistir a grandes lutas pelo título dos pesos pesados ​​e agora estar na eliminatória de uma é incrível. Há crianças por aí olhando para mim e Deontay da mesma maneira. É incrível. É uma bênção que realmente impulsiona minha carreira e permite que as pessoas me conheçam melhor.”
FELIX DIAZ
“Sammy é um oponente muito bom, claro. Ele está invicto agora, mas ele não estará atrás Sábado.
“Subindo para 147 vai ser ótimo para mim e me permitirá estar no meu melhor. Acho que posso fazer grandes coisas nesta divisão e Sábado a noite será o começo.
“O que você treina e o que acontece no ringue são duas coisas diferentes. Estou preparado para qualquer coisa que possa acontecer no ringue.
I have a great team and training camp has gone very well. I’ve been ready to fight for a long time and I can’t wait to get in the ring.
Everyone should come out, because it’s going to be a great fight. I’m very confident in my ability to pull off this victory.

Aqui está o que os participantes tinham a dizer Terça-feira:
LEO SANTA CRUZ
My dream is to be the next big thing in boxing. We’re going to work hard every day in the gym, learn from our mistakes and improve so I can be the best fighter out there. With the help of the fans and the media I think I can accomplish that.
He has great skills, great punches and he moves very well. It’s going to be a tough fight for me but I’m going to work hard to defend my belt.
I see Frampton as someone trying to come and take away everything I worked hard for. I can’t let that happen. I’m going to do what I have to do to get the win.
“Ele é um lutador muito hábil. He has great power and I think it’s going to be an exciting fight. These are the kind of guys I want to fight. It gives me even more motivation to get in the gym and train hard.
I’ve known Mikey Garcia from the amateur days and our families have sparred with each other. I’ve even trained with Robert Garcia before. To see another great Mexican fighter go over to New York is very exciting. I’m very happy for him. He’s a great guy and a great fighter.
I think Frampton will keep his power up the weight classes. He couldn’t make 122-pounds anymore and he’s said that he will be even stronger this time. That’s good. That’s what I want. I want him to feel good so it’ll be a tough and entertaining fight.
I can’t let him come over to the U.S. and get this win. We’re going to go out there and see if he can bring the best out of me. I’m going to be one-hundred percent ready.
I’m comfortable at 126-pounds. I want to get this win against Carl Frampton and then unify against Gary Russell Jr., Lee Selby or any of the champions. When my body is ready we’ll move up in weight to seek another world title.
When I first started boxing all I ever thought about was being a world champion one time. Then after I got there I started pushing my goals. If I continue to keep learning and improve as a fighter, I could go all the way up to 140-pounds.
I’m thrilled to be fighting in New York. It’s going to be my first time out there. I’m excited to meet new fans. The people who have wished I would fight in New York will get to see me. There are people that don’t know me and this my opportunity to be impressive and put on a show for them.
MIKEY GARCIA
I’m a well-rounded fighter. I can adjust to just about any style. I get a lot of diverse sparring so that I can adjust to anything Rojas might bring. Training camp has been going very well and I think it’s going to be a good night for me.
I’ve seen Rojas before. I saw him when he was champion. He’s a good fighter with a lot of experience. He can definitely box and has a good right hand. He lost his title to a great champion. He’s very skilled and experience.
Both of us are boxers and we tend to try to work from a distance. This time I may have to look for the fight a bit more and apply some pressure. If he tries to box around, I’ll find him. I think my power will eventually be the difference and I’ll break him down.
I don’t believe there will be ring rust because I was never really outside of the ring. I’ve been in the gym the whole time, sparring and training. I would spar 10 ou 12 rounds, just to do it. Not because I had a fight, but just to keep me active. I know it seems like a long time, but I don’t really see it. I feel like I was gone six months.
I want to fight at 135 and fight for a title there. I’m going to see how my body feels after this fight, but that’s the plan as of now. We’re not looking past Elio. I definitely want to get back in the ring soon if everything goes right.
I have no regrets. I’ve got to enjoy myself more than I had in the last 10 anos. When you’re in boxing, it’s a year round sport. You don’t have time to yourself, for your family or friends. You miss out on a lot. I learned a lot in my time away about boxing and more.
This will end up being about a seven-week training camp, but even prior to that I’ve been staying in the gym. I don’t feel any different. I feel one-hundred percent. My body is well-rested which makes me hungrier and more motivated.
I’ve fought in New York before and it’s always been a great and very supportive crowd. I was at Barclays Center for the first time on June 25 for Thurman-Porter and it was a great arena. It had great energy and I can’t wait to fight there. I can’t wait to fight at Barclays.
It’s great to be in the gym with all these different types of fighters that my brother trains. I have a lot of very intense sparring. I’ve gotten a chance to really learn from the different styles and it definitely helps me.
IVAN REDKACH
This is an excellent fight for me. I’m closing in to a title shot and I’m going to be ready on Julho 30.
I have a plan for this fight. You’ll see it in the ring. I’m going to make this an exciting fight.
A title fight is my motivation but my focus in fully on Julho 30. Everything I’ve done is to lead up to a world title fight.
I know that my opponent is slick and very fast. He’s a good boxer but we’ll see what he brings to the ring.
This is my first camp with Leo Santa Cruz and his team and it’s been going very well. I feel very prepared to fight.
ANTONIO SANTA CRUZ, Leo’s Brother & Treinador
This camp feels very close to the same as usual. Meu pai (Jose) is usually the one who tells us what to do. I’m in the ring with Leo but he’s still there. He is sick but he is still going to the gym. He wants to be there for Leo.
Frampton is a good fighter. He’s going to give my brother a good fight. Short guys are tougher for Leo so we’re making sure we have sparring with fighters of all heights. Frampton won’t be hard to get inside but his height could pose a problem.
It’s a little bit more pressure on me. I’m trying to show my father that I can learn and help Leo be at his best. I think he’s going to have a great night.
JOSE SANTA CRUZ, Leo’s Father & Treinador
“Eu me sinto bem. Right now I’m going to the gym every day. Leo looks good in the ring and is training very well.
Little by little Antonio is learning and even I’m still learning. We’re both getting better as trainers and that is our goal, to be great. I feel the love from my sons and I love them a lot too. I’m proud of them and I’m proud that they are my sons.
Leo is very calm. I don’t think Leo is going to be affected by traveling to New York. Even if he doesn’t have the majority of the fans, I don’t think it will affect him.
You never know how it’s going to go on fight night. You can prepare in the gym, but sometimes, once you’re up in the ring, a fight can get complicated.
Even if I can’t make it to New York, I’m going to watch the fight. Even if it’s with one eye open, I’m going to watch.
ROBERT GARCIA, Mikey’s Brother & Treinador
Mikey definitely wants to win a title at 135-pounds. There are some good champions out there but not necessarily a huge name. Eventually Mikey would want to go up to 140-pounds where I believe there are a lot of exciting fights that could be made.
Elio is a fighter that has been off for a while and he’s a former world champion. He’s also trying to come back and make a statement. We have to be prepared for the opponent to be at the top of his game.
Now that he’s got a date and with the training and sparring, Mikey has been looking really good. It’s been a while. We might see a little bit of rust, a little bit of adjustment to timing. But the way he’s been in the gym, against top quality fighters, he’s been looking so good that I wouldn’t be surprised if he put on one of his best performances.

Ghvamichava outworked and outslugged Prescott, knocking him down in round four before knocking him down again in round seven and eventually forcing the stoppage. Prescott got off to a fast start, using his length and a strong right hand to dictate action in the first frame.
Prescott couldn’t keep up the work rate however, as Ghvamichava began to close the distance and created more toe-to-toe exchanges. Na quarta rodada, Ghvamichava connected with a left hook and a right cross that dropped Prescott, who was able to beat the count and get back on his feet.
After the knockdown, Prescott attempted to revert to his round-one form by boxing and using his jab, but the persistent Ghvamichava kept working hard to get inside on the taller fighter. The hard work paid off in round seven when Prescott was severely staggered with a right hand before being sent to the canvas by a left hook.
Prescott was unable to recover as he beat the count narrowly but was on shaky ground. He hit the canvas two more times, both ruled pushes by the referee before a hard combination by Ghvamichava in the corner forced referee Michael Margado to stop the fight at 2:37 of round seven.
No momento da interrupção, Ghvamichava had thrown nearly 100 more punches than Prescott (495-397) and had out landed him 134 para 110.
The co-main event of the night saw Marcos Hernandez (8-0, 2 KOs) earn a unanimous decision in a competitive and entertaining eight-round super welterweight brawl against previously unbeaten Thomas Colina (6-1, 1 KO).
Hernandez and Hill went back and forth from start to finish in the first eight round bout of either prospect’s career. Hill looked to dictate the action with his jab and body work, but it was Hernandez who had more success throughout the night with his left hand and various uppercuts.
The sixth round saw Hill lose a point early on in the round for a low blow. The deduction clearly increased the urgency in Hill who pressed forward, delivering the best action of the fight. Hill pushed the pace but Hernandez withstood the strong combinations and repeatedly caught Hill with strong left hands. Outside of staggering Hill once early in the seventh round, both fighters continued to throw hard punches all the way to the final bell.
The punch stats reflected the close nature of the fight as Hernandez out landed Hill 161 para 157 while it was Hill who had the slight edge in accuracy, aterrissagem 33 percent of his punches to 31 percent for Hernandez. Even without the point deduction, the judges still preferred Hernandez, who landed the more significant punches, and gave him the decision by scores of 79-72, 78-73 e 77-74.
The opening bout of the telecast saw middleweight prospect Malcolm McAllister (8-0, 8 KOs) remain unbeaten with a stoppage victory over Gilberto Yoruba (7-3, 4 KOs). Yoruba did not come out for the eighth and final round after McAllister dominated the first seven rounds of the fight.
McAllister controlled the fight by working off of his strong jab with powerful right hands and hooks to the body. Yoruba continued to come forward throughout the fight, wildly throwing numerous overhand rights looking to stun the undefeated prospect.
After staggering Yoruba several times in round four, McAllister really began to do damage when he teed off on Yoruba with multiple unanswered shots to close out the frame. The one-sided action showed in the punch stats as McAllister out landed Yoruba 184 para 76 eventually leading to a frustrated Yoruba being deducted a point in round six for low blows.

HEAVYWEIGHT UPSET BREWING IN DETROIT?

Gormley Confident that Undefeated Ruiz Will Taste Defeat at ‘Detroit Brawl’ em Sábado, Julho 16

, at Masonic Temple

Having already experienced being a world-rated TV-level fighter under tremendous pressure to win every fight impressively, Miami-based slugger Josh “Dempsey” Gormley says he much prefers the lowered expectations of being considered the “adversário” since coming back to boxing.
There’s a lot of pressure on you as the A-side guy,” explained Gormley. “As an opponent, I’m supposed to lose, so when I win it’ll be that much more dramatic.
Gormley (22-4, 21 KOs) will face WBO #5-, IBF #5-, and WBC #7-rated and current NABF heavyweight champion AndyThe Destroyer from Mexicali” Ruiz (27-0, 18 KOs) em uma luta sem título neste sábado em Detroit. The two bruising heavyweights will meet in the 10-round main event of Salita PromotionslatestDetroit Brawlevent at the Masonic Temple.
Sponsored by Thomas Magee’s Sporting House Whiskey Bar, bilhetes para “Detroit Brawlwill be priced at VIP $123, Box Seats $100, Ringside $93, Reservado $63 e $38, and Balcony $28, and are available at all Ticketmaster outlets and Tickmaster.com.
Gormley says he isn’t prepared to go along with the expected outcome for a 41-year-old fighter taking on a top contender in just his third fight since returning from a 16-year retirement. He’s coming to Detroit to win.
“Ele é perfeito para mim,” he said of Ruiz. “I feel like I’m fighting the weakest guy in the top 10. He doesn’t punch hard and I won’t have to look for him. He comes forward a lot and he’s not Floyd Mayweather. I don’t think he can handle my power. Now that I’m older, I hit harder than ever and I’m in great shape. I doubt it’ll last the distance. I’ll get him out of there in about five rounds. Even if he does, I’m in great shape to beat him over the distance.
Gormley, reportedly the grandson of all-time-great heavyweight champion Jack Dempsey, tornou-se profissional em 1992 and flirted with world-contender status before suffering a pair of tough losses and retiring in 1999. Contudo, boxe, like any addiction, eventually lured him back.
I just want to take opportunities and see what I can do,” ele disse. “Ganhar ou perder, I’m just carrying on my legacy and seeing what I can still do. My goal is to be champ of the world. But I’m not chasing that dream lie I used to. A long time ago I chased the heavyweight championship dream so hard that every loss was devastating. Agora, I want to take the opportunities as they come and win some of them. And hey, when I beat this guy, I’m back in the top 10!”
Scheduled in support of the main event that night will be Giorgi Gelashvili (4-0, 2 KOs) of Brooklyn via Georgia facing comebacking veteran Eric Hall (8-9-1, 4 KOs) of Durand, Michigan in a super lightweight six-rounder.
Também, Serdar Hudayberdiyev (2-0, 2 KOs) of Turkmenabat, Turkmenistan, will face fellow undefeated fighter Steven Andrade (3-0, 2 KOs) de Atlanta, Georgia in a welterweight four-rounder.

Lipinets hopes a decisive victory over Castillo will put him squarely in the mix of 140-pounds contenders and he has enlisted the help of Buddy McGirt as his new trainer heading into this fight. Here is what Lipinets had to say about his matchup, acampamento de treinamento e mais:
On fighting in the main event on ESPN:
I’m very thankful to be fighting on a great network like ESPN. I’m hoping to score a spectacular knockout and have it be shown on SportsCenter’s Top 10 Playsthat would be great. One thing the fans watching can count on, is me throwing a lot of hard punches. I want to have an electrifying performance.
On his current training camp:
I’ve been working really hard to improve on every aspect of my game. I’m seeing improvement in a lot of areas, especially fighting on the inside. I want to be a well-rounded fighter who can make adjustments in a fight and it all starts in the gym. I’m happy with my sparring sessions. I’m feeling really confident going into this fight.
On facing tough opponent Walter Castillo:
Castillo is a veteran with many more fights than me. I know experience will be on his side, but I have many fights in kickboxing that will make up for my lack of fights in the boxing arena. I’m not sure how he deals with southpaws, but I’m going to be setting the pace from the opening round. I’m expecting him to be in great shape so I believe it’s going to be a good competitive fight, but one I feel I can win.
On how he feels his career is progressing
I never dreamed everything would come so fast. In only my eighth fight, I’ll be fighting on national television for the second time, and it’s very beneficial to my career. I’m making a name for myself and everyone is starting to take notice. My career is taking off.
On his relationship with veteran trainer Buddy McGirt
Buddy and I are working great together. He brings a lot of experience and knowledge to the ring. He comes up with fantastic game plans as he’s able to see flaws in my opponents. Being that he’s a former fighter, I have a tremendous amount of respect for him. We both know what it’s like to be in the ring and that’s very important to me. I’m happy with his instructions.
