В то время как Турман получил более высокий процент, Портер был более занятым бойцом, бросая 100 больше ударов поперек 12 раундов.

 

«One Time» и «Showtime» доставлены согласно рекламе., с мощным снайпером, несколько раз прогибающим Портера, в то время как кишащий и удушающий Портер несся вперед, чтобы запугать Турмана и привязать его к канатам.. И пока нокдаунов не было, в этом постоянно повторяющемся блокбастере никогда не было недостатка в действии, и его кульминацией стали овации на втором по посещаемости боксерском мероприятии в истории Barclays Center..

 

“Я хочу поблагодарить Шона Портера за потрясающий бой.. Он великий воин,- сказал Турман. «Защита – ключ к победе». Он сильно подавляет свои удары и мешает судьям засчитывать очки.. Я смог потрясти его ясным, эффективные удары, и я считаю, что именно в этом сегодня и заключалась разница.

 

«Я бы дал ему реванш. Это был отличный бой. Он был отличным противником. Все говорили, будет ли он моим самым сильным противником на сегодняшний день.. Я не смог его уронить, но несколько раз пристегивал».

Бывший чемпион мира Портер, вечный неудачник, но непревзойденный джентльмен, не жаловался на то, что проиграл своим вторым близким решением судей в титульном бою.

“Это определенно большая победа в моей карьере.,- сказал Херд. «Он делал много ударов, но он знал, как выжить. Это был мощный апперкот, который сбил его с ног в первом раунде.. По моему последнему бою люди знают, что у меня отличный апперкот справа.. Он был ранен пару раз. Я не думаю, что это была плохая остановка. Молина – очень крутой парень, который продолжал идти вперед..

 

“Этот бой ставит меня в один ряд с лучшими соперниками в дивизионе.. Я чувствовал, что мог бы пройти еще три или четыре раунда.. Я становился сильнее по мере продолжения боя. Мы сразу возвращаемся в спортзал, чтобы снова туда попасть.”

 

Молина (13-1-1, 10 КО) протестовал, но, если не считать ошеломляющего нокаута, он был всего в нескольких секундах от того, чтобы потерпеть первое поражение в своей карьере единогласным решением судей..

 

“Я чувствовал, что Херд наносил много ударов в десятом раунде, но они не причиняли мне особого вреда.,- сказала Молина. «Он был занят, но никогда не причинял мне вреда..

 

«Я опустился низко, опустил голову, и он поймал меня апперкотом в первом раунде.. Он нанес мне удар, которого я не ожидал, но это определенно был быстрый нокдаун.. Я не пострадал.

 

“Я должен был больше использовать работу ног, но в итоге я заглушил свои удары.. У него была неуклюжая защита, много наклонов, и я не мог войти в ритм..

 

“Для меня это была большая возможность, и я чувствовал, что провел хороший бой.. Я вернусь сильнее. Мы собираемся поработать над многими вещами и вернуться туда.”

 

ЧЕМПИОНАТ SHOWTIME ПО БОКСУ на CBS, представлен Premier Boxing Champions, продвигалась DiBella Entertainment..

 

Ранее вечером на SHOWTIME, непобежденная сенсация в супертяжелом весе Энтони Джошуа впервые успешно защитил свой титул чемпиона мира по версии IBF в тяжелом весе, нокаутировав в седьмом раунде ранее непобедимого американца Доминика Бризила на турнире O2 в Лондоне.. ВИДЕО: http://s.sho.com/28VGgsa

 

Ниже приведены цитаты Джошуа после Субботу победа на SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL:

 

Многие думали, что Доминик Бризил не сможет противостоять вашей силе и скорости., но были ли вы благодарны за возможность еще немного поработать над своими боксерскими навыками??

"Что ж, это сложно, потому что видно, что им больно от каждого выстрела – ну не каждый выстрел – но когда ты начинаешь их ловить, смываешь, они могут почувствовать укол в этих десятиунциевых перчатках.. Так, это вопрос времени, но при этом мне не хотелось получать на обратном пути косилки.

 

«Было тяжело, у меня было две недели отпуска после моего последнего боя., и сразу же вернулся в спортзал, так что это было тяжело. Хоть раз у меня будет небольшой перерыв, а потом я смогу вернуться с перезаряженными батарейками.”

 

Мы знаем, что Деонтей Уайлдер наблюдал за боем. У тебя есть сообщение для него?, Чемпион WBC?

“Невероятно вдохновляющий человек. Он был терпелив, 30-странные драки [и] заполучил WBC [ремень]. Я следую примеру. Я направляюсь в США. меня тоже поддерживает SHOWTIME. Так, он смотрел это.

 

“Он может получить от этого все, что захочет., но это так по-другому, когда вы на ринге друг с другом. Итак, однажды мы сможем узнать, что представляют собой друг друга.”

 

С кем ты хочешь сразиться следующим?

“Ну, я думаю, это должно быть что-то вроде [Иосиф] Паркер. Я действительно смотрел на Фьюри… Надеюсь, он скоро поправится.. К сожалению, он повредил лодыжку, что отложило это, потому что я надеялся получить это где-нибудь зимой, если все пройдет хорошо 9 июля как это былосегодня вечером, но нам придется перенести это, а тем временем, мы можем посмотреть на других противников, таких как Паркер, если он свободен, или кто-то еще, кого хотят люди.”

 

Как вы думаете, над чем вам еще нужно поработать??

"Отдых. мне нужен отдых. Я устал, Я много работаю и, как я уже сказал, теперь я могу получить

It’s always been my dream to be the undisputed champion of the world.

I do believe that with each and every fight, you step up, you step up and you step up. Так, thus the stakes are always higher and there are those times where you get a decent fight. Но, как я сказал,, this is a great fight at a great moment of both athletes’ карьера. We are both in our prime. I’m 27-years-old, Shawn is 28-years-old, we’ve both accomplished many great things and a victory в субботу night is just going to be another thing to add to the resume.
This really is the best fight of the best. We’re trying to satisfy the fans and we’re trying to challenge ourselves, push ourselves, and see where we fit in and how great we really are. I’m going to show you Суббота night how great Keith “Один Раз” Thurman really is.
Just like Ali said, Суббота ночь, I’m going to show you how great I am.
Шон Портер
“Это здесь. It’s been long anticipated and it’s here. I have never been more excited to fight in my life. Это благословение. Along this journey I’ve been able to learn the basics and excel in the basics and I found myself in a position where I’ve been able to be very successful.
My hometown Cleveland Cavaliers winning the NBA title is definitely a motivation. It motivates me to be a winner. I want to bring this belt back to Ohio.
I’m looking forward to this kind of moment to shine. That’s how you gain notoriety and become bigger. Там нет давления, just excitement.
I’m just looking forward to getting in there and getting that energetic feeling. I want to feel the excitement of getting into the ring and all the adrenaline that rushes through.
This is the fight I wanted. I wanted to have fun training for a fight like this. Keith has made it possible. He’s so good it pushes me to be better.
This isn’t the first time and it won’t be the last time that two friends fight. I’m done talking about us being friends because it’s time for us to start punching each other. My plan is to have great defense, avoid getting hit and win the fight.
I didn’t take much time off after the postponement. We tried to train and stay ready through the cancellation. You never know when the phone is going to ring. We just wanted to stay in shape, get better and be ready for anything.
I feel like if Floyd Mayweather comes back, he should fight the winner of this matchup. I believe that will be me.
I’m not going to go in there looking for a knockout and throw my hands wildly. I’m going to keep up the pace that I normally keep up. I’m a great boxer. People consider me a boxer, but I may surprise you.
Джарретт Херд
I’m thankful for this opportunity. This is a great shot for me right now. In my last fight I had an opportunity similar to this. I was a fill-in for television and I did what I was supposed to do.
Success is accomplished when preparation meets opportunity. I know things like this can happen. It doesn’t change anything. We’re going to go out and do what we trained for.
You always get butterflies before getting in the ring but that’s normal. Molina is very experienced and has good hand speed but I know what I can do. We’re ready for this.
I’m happy to be on this stage. This could be the biggest fight of the year and I’m extremely blessed to open it up.
I’m going to go out there and put on another terrific performance. Молина, he’s an Olympian and he has a lot of experience. He’s a crafty fighter and we’re going to do what we have to do to get the victory.
We’re ready to do what we’re going to do. Это будет великий бой в субботу ночь.”
ОСКАР МОЛИНА
“Я готов к этому. I’m more than ready for this. These type of fights are what gets me up to train.
This guy I’m fighting is young, undefeated and a prospect like myself. I know he’s going to be ready and it’s going to be a tough fight but I’m ready for him.
This is a huge deal for me. I was already excited to be on this huge undercard. When they told me that I was moving up to CBS I knew how big of an opportunity it is for me and my career.
Hurd is a tall and lanky fighter. I saw his last fight and I see that he does well with guys who are flat footed. My boxing skills and my footwork are something he’s never seen before. Frank Galarza was tailor-made for Hurd and I think I’m going to be able to give him different looks.
I’m a boxer-puncher and I can adapt to different styles. I also have power for big knockouts but my boxing skills are most important.
Fighting in the Olympics taught me to adapt to different styles. I have a fan-friendly style and I’m excited to put on a show.
DAN BIRMINGHAM, Thurman’s Trainer
We’re ready for this fight. Keith trains hard every day and we know Shawn and Kenny well. I’ve brought them to my gym and these two guys have gone a lot of rounds together.
I think Keith Thurman is the most gifted guy in boxing. He does everything right. Суббота night we’re looking for a great fight and I know in my heart that we will be victorious.
КЕН PORTER, Отец Майкла Портера & Тренер
“Здесь здорово. It’s great to be on this stage with Shawn. This isn’t something we just started getting ready for, this is something he’s been getting ready for since birth. I always had a mindset to put Shawn in a position to excel in life. He has not disappointed.
I know these guys are going to give it everything they have. It will be 100 percent for as long as it lasts. We’re prepared to take the championship. These are great guys here to the right, но в субботу we’re bringing everything to the table.
We’re coming to deliver a great show. Enjoy yourselves в субботу ночь.”
Лу ДиБелла, Президент ДиБелла Entertainment
This is what it’s all about. В эту субботу ночь, the best is fighting the best. It’s right here in Brooklyn on CBS. It’s the first fight on CBS in primetime since Muhammad Ali fought over 30 много лет назад.
“Это потрясающая карта сверху вниз. There is a tremendous undercard, a great co-feature and a main event that boxing fans have been waiting for a long time.
This is an undercard chock full of talent. You will want to get there early as there are evenly matched bouts all night.
SHOWTIME has highlighted the 154-pound division in recent shows, so it makes sense that there will be another significant matchup in that division on CBS Суббота night with Jarrett Hurd and Oscar Molina.
We’re not going to talk about friendship and respect anymore with these two guys, that’s in the past and the future. These guys know their future is dependent on beating up the other guy and a fight of this magnitude makes the stakes even higher.
The best want to fight the best and it starts Суббота ночь. The winner of this fight wants to be the best in the world. Both men want to be an undisputed welterweight champion.
Стивен Эспиноза, Исполнительный вице-президент & Главный Управляющий, Showtime спорта
Июнь 25 is a very special day and night for us at CBS. It begins with the heavyweight world title being contested between Anthony Joshua and Dominic Breazeale and then the return of boxing to primetime CBS for the first time in almost 40 годы.
This was an easy fight to make. Shawn and Keith, neither one hesitated for a second in taking this fight. All credit goes to them for taking this fight. It’s a difficult fight for both on a big stage.
Boxing takes criticism for not making the right fights at the right time. One of the bad habits we have is that we spend time thinking about fights that might get made. But now we have the right fight, at the right time and at the right venue. It’s a disservice to not recognize that what is going в субботу is very special and very exciting.
BRETT YORMARK, генеральный директор Бруклин Спортс & Развлечения
It’s an exciting week at Barclays Center. Сегодня вечером we host the NBA Draft, the weigh-in завтра and our big event Субботаночь. The momentum is building for this fight and we are on pace for the biggest crowd for a boxing event since we opened.
We are excited about bringing a great night of fights to Brooklyn. We welcome Keith Thurman and Shawn Porter back to Brooklyn as they have both fought there once before.
It’s become tradition to have both of you fight in our ring and we know how popular you are with our fans and we love to have you back.
This will be the first primetime fight on CBS since the first Muhammad Ali-Leon Spinks fight in 1978 and it’s a big moment for the boxing community for sure. We look forward to hosting everyone в субботу ночь.”

Major statement made by Undefeated Demetrius “Бу-Бу” Андраде

Провиденс (Июнь 23, 2016) – A year after he was stripped of his world super welterweight title by the World Boxing Organization (WBO), непобежденным полусреднем супер Димитрий “Бу-Бу” Андраде has repositioned himself off of his sensational June 11 й stoppage of Willle “Отлично” Нельсон на SHOWTIME ЧЕМПИОНАТ БОКС®.
The 28-year-old Andrade (23-0, 16 КО) decked Nelson (25-3-1, 15 КО) четыре раза, finishing off his game opponent who’d never been knocked out, в 12й round of their fight at Turning Stone Casino (Верона, N.Y.).
Andrade successfully defended his WBO International title and also gained several valuable options in terms of world title and/or major fights. He is now the No. 1 mandatory contender in the World Boxing Council (WBC), waiting to challenge the winner of a mandated title fight between new champion Jermell Charlo and WBC Silver title holder Чарльз Хэтли. The 2008 U.S. Olympian is No. 2 в WBO, Не. 3 in the World Boxing Association (WBA), и Мигель Котто is No. 1 in both of those sanctioning organizations.
After his sensational, statement-making performance against Nelson, Andrade said he wanted to fight anybody whose name started with “C” and ended in ‘O” – the Charlo brothers (IBF champion isJermall Charlo), Котто и “Канело” (Саул Альварес).
I am the best fighter in the 154-pound division,” Andrade proclaimed. “I’m the No. 1 contender in the WBO. Лиам Смит is holding my belt but I don’t believe he’ll fight me. I’m the WBC mandatory for the Charlo-Hatley winner. Once I get that belt I’ll beat Charlo’s twin for the IBF title and I’ve been calling out (WBA champ Эрисланди) Лара for a long time. But ‘Canelois the big money fight out there for me and who I want the most. I can be ready for him in September for his next fight. В конце концов,, we’ll see what’s up, but I want to get right back in the ring as soon as one of these guys step up to fight me.
During his long layoff, Andrade made a conscious effort to be a more fan-friendly fighter, building up his strength to go along with his superior quickness. Many called his last fight, ‘Mayweather-like,’ in which Demetrius displayed tremendous power and explosiveness, which complemented his incredible boxing skills and defense.
When I first turned pro,” Андраде объяснил, “I was getting in the ring with some good fighters, so I was cautious and settled in on just getting a victory. I learned that I needed to change in order to put butts in seats. I don’t get hit and I also showed that I could go 12 раундов, good for experience, and still takeout a tough fighter like Nelson who had never been stopped. I wasn’t going for the knockout but, after I caught him early with a right hook, I knew that it would come if I was patient and kept up the pressure. I think Willie can give any of the other top guys at 154 хороший бой. He has a big heart and came to win. It wasn’t as easy as it may have looked on the scorecards. Willie pushed me to look good. During my layoff, I worked hard on my craft to be better, concentrating on strength and conditioning, and it really showed in my last fight. I worked on my fundamentals and had a lot of success going to the body. I believe fans saw improvement in my performance and appreciated it.
More comfortable knowing his promotional issues are now in the past (his A Team Promotions owns 50% of his rights to go along with 25% each for Banner Promotions (Арти Pelullo) и звезда бокса (Джо DeGuardia), Andrade is prepared to clean out the 154-division before eventually moving up in weight to take on Геннадий Головкин in what Andrade believes can be a mega-fight in due time.
I’ve always known since I first saw Demetrius in the ring at 14 years old that he was going to become a superstar,” A Team Promotions president И Farris прокомментировал. “There were so many doubters and obstacles along the way. It sure took a long time to get here but I’m so happy for him that his moment has finally arrived. You don’t know how good it feels to see him fulfill his destiny.
Андраде, на самом деле, hasn’t lost inside the ring in nearly eight years, when he was ripped off against Korean boxer Kim Jung-Joo, 11-9, в четвертьфинале 2008 Олимпийские игры в Пекине, Китай. The boxer named “Бу-Бу” – as a kid with cuts, bumps and bruisesdoesn’t plan on changing his unbeaten script.
I’m still untouchable,” Андраде заключил. “I’ve shown my continued commitment to boxing. It’s ‘Boo Boo’ время!”

Below is what the fighters had to say at the final press conference, followed by some recent fight week quotes. (Courtesy Sky Sports and Matchroom Sport)

 

ANTHONYJOSHUA:

 

You’re in my jungle now. Там нет давления на меня.

 

“Once that bell goes, you can’t hide the instinct, the instinct that you want to get someone out of there. I hope I can go in there, stay relaxed and do what I planned to do. But once that bell rings something just comes over you and you want to get him out of there ASAP.

 

There will always be pressure. But look, it’s always been the same concept: Train hard – it’s the same ring. It hasn’t changed.

 

I’ve got nothing to lose. I’ve always explained let’s get rid of the belts, the atmosphere, because when the bell goes it’s just me and him in the ring. Two gladiators, two respectful warriors coming together. We’re going to slug it out and put our 0s on the line.

 

“I’m prepared, Dominic is prepared well, and one of us has to take a loss.

 

Each fight is a stepping stone to the big tests. I want to look like the real deal.

 

I think we’re in the golden era of boxing again.”

 

ДОМИНИК BREAZEALE:

I respect you as a fighter, but I’m going to beat you. I’ve got to beat the best of the best.

 

“Не могу дождаться, it’s been an opportunity I’ve been waiting eight years for this. It’s an opportunity of a lifetime and I’m ready for this.

 

“Ожидайте фейерверк. We’ll be going round for round, punch for punch and I expect to knock out Joshua.

 

“I got a big right hand, I have a big left hook. I stand 6-foot-7, 255 фунты. I’m unorthodox – I’m a guy that can fight on the inside, I’m a guy that can take a punch, I’m a guy that can give a punch. So if any one of those given things show up в субботу night I’m getting a knockout, точно.

 

“It’s a major advantage just for me to have Anthony Joshua the whole time. I don’t want him at any given point for him to feel like he’s in his comfort zone, his own backyard or his own little lion’s den.

 

“That’s what I came across the pond to do. I came across the pond to get my belt and take it back home with me.

 

“It’s my Super Bowl. Being a former football player, this is my Super Bowl.”

 

Everybody keeps comparing me to Charles Martin, the only thing that we have in common is that we’re both American. We have a completely different fight style, different goals in life.

 

I’m a big puncher, so is Anthony Joshua. He has the belt and I intend to have it в субботу ночь.

 

ADDITIONAL FIGHT WEEK QUOTES:

 

ANTHONY JOSHUA

 

"Я 16 бои, 16 побед, Dominic is 17 бои, 17 побед. We’ve been pro for the same amount of time, amateurs for the same time so we’re at a similar level on paper.

 

“People think this will end in two rounds? Brilliant. I am winning fights early because of my talent and hard work. Where I am in my career, it’s a perfect fight.

 

“I don’t overlook anyone. People talk and talk, that’s irrelevant. It’s all about whether he can fight. I think he believes in himself, but he knows what’s in store here, he needs to know I’m serious about this boxing. He thinks he’s going to KO me, he’s dismissed Charles Martinsometimes you just have to humble somebody and show levels, let them know it’s not that easy.

 

“The second I stepped in to the pros it was ‘Boom!" — Anthony Joshua – headlining. That’s not down to me, its media channels and people wanting to get to know the guy behind the gloves. So it’s been hard to build a career at the right pace without criticism because people want to see me in massive fights right now.

 

“You can’t jump from hero to zero, there are people guiding us over a long and a dangerous career. People have to understand that it’s a development of a career, and if I ever train a fighter, I’ll tell them the same thing.”

 

On fellow heavyweight world champions Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury:

“This won’t be my only defense, I want there to be lots and lots, and at the right time I will fight David Haye, Тайсон Фьюри, Deontay Wilder and the rest. We’re in an era now where we have to fight each other. There’s never been an era when the best don’t fight the best at heavyweightbut they have to happen at the right time, and they will.

 

“We are all world champions as we hold all the belts that are available. We’re all talented. Deontay has defended his title multiple times so you have to give him credit for that. Tyson and I haven’t defended yet, so I put Deontay at the top. But Tyson beat Wladimir Klitschko who reigned for such a long time.

 

“I am happy because I became a world champion in my 16th fight and they won theirs later in their careers. But Tyson beat the main man in the division, and Deontay has defended his belt lots of times, so I am in third right now, but I am building my way up.

 

“Put the belts to one side, they don’t give you magical powers. A lot of fighters lose their belt in their first defense. It’s about developing your raw talent and making sure you keep on an upward curve because there’s hungry young challengers snapping at your heels all the time, ready to expose you – and I refuse that to happen to me.”

 

On Charles Martin:

"Перед боем, no one criticized (Чарльз) Мартин. He was undefeated, knocking guys out, tall southpaw, опасно. Bookies were taking a lot of bets on him knocking me out. Tyson Fury backed him to do just that and a lot of people thought it would be tricky. Up until I beat him, he was seen as a worthy fighter. I figured him out quickly and I made him look bad. He didn’t look like the champion people thought he was, but you have to respect him.”

 

On thinking about losing:

“I think about losing all the time, I’m scared of it. That keeps me humble and working hard. I don’t think people are going to beat me or anything, but I don’t want to lose, and I know that if I work hard and keep improving, I won’t lose.

 

“I get enough attention from this job. Есть 20,000 fans at the fights, millions watching on TV around the world. I don’t need to seek attention. I’m not a trash talker because the fists do the talking.’’

 

On being a role model:

“I know that there are a lot of kids watching me now and their parents say ‘my son loves youand that’s in my mind.

 

“I’ll be myself all the time, but that sense of being a role model and having kid’s look up to you, that checks the emotions that could come out if you get wound up. You have to conduct yourself.’’

 

On Tyson Fury:

“Tyson talks a lot. I hear so many different things, if he was consistent with what he says then maybe I’d think he was digging a bit, but it’s just water off a duck’s back. I don’t know him, but as long as people are saying ‘when are you going to fight him?’ then I like him because he is relevant.

 

“It would be such a huge fight and one that would be part of my legacy. I think because he’s beaten Wladimir once he can do it again. I didn’t think he’d win the first fight, but he pulled it off.

 

“I’d love to fight Tyson – it’s a match-up that needs to happen. There have been talks, whether they are a quick chat or serious negotiations, but you can’t click your fingers and come up with a mega fight. It takes time, but they are in the pipeline and we’re building towards them, and in the meantime I want to test myself and learn my craft. I need to perform well to prove that I can handle the massive fights.’’

 

On fellow British heavyweight David Haye:

“David is running the show and people know it, so when he goes in against soft opponents, he’s putting his neck on the line to get the stick. Fans expect more from him and he’s not meeting those levels, and that’s where the backlash comes from. The people he’s calling out versus the two guys he has fought, they just don’t add up, and that’s what people are frustrated about.

 

“I don’t think you can knock the Shannon Briggs fight. He’s made a lot of noise, he’s old school and it’s a good fight for David to take, win and move upwards. Shannon had made noise and he’s got his moment and who knows? Maybe he can shock the world. He’s old, but he trains hard and he’s in great condition, and that’s why people love the heavyweights because it’s that one shot.

 

“A fight with Fury and I is the biggest fight in British boxing in my opinion. The Haye fight is big too; there’s enough media interest for it to be big. It’s already big and we’re not even fighting yet, so imagine how big it would be once we get in there. It’d be unbelievable and that’s why I am so interested in the fights.”

 

ДОМИНИК BREAZEALE:

“I plan on putting on some extreme pressure and taking Joshua to places he’s never been. We’ll find out if he can handle it.

 

“Do I want to see him go into uncharted territory? Конечно, без сомнения.

 

“I’ve been there, I know what it feels like and I’ve done it several times now. В то же время, I’m not going to let an opportunity pass me. If I see something I can take in the first or second round, I’m definitely going to get him out of there.

 

“I’ve sparred guys that are bigger than me, I’ve sparred some guys smaller than me. I’ve been the tallest thus far (своих профессиональных оппонентов), but I don’t think the difference in a matter of inches is going to make that big of a difference. The guys I’ve sparred with are 10 times better than Anthony Joshua.

 

“I think that it’s going to be one of those situations that it is not going to be a difference of size or weight. It’s going to be the difference of skill and experience.

 

“When you think of a heavyweight champion you want to make sure he’s fought the best, and I think that’s why Joshua has chosen me as his opponent to defend against. That’s what he plans on getting out of the situation if he can make it through the 12 раундов.

 

“I think Joshua’s thinking of me as a stepping stone and he’s going to be sorry about that. He’s just wrong. He’s fighting a guy at 6-foot-7, 255 pounds that brings the pressure and a great pace from round-to-round.

 

“I’m one of those guys that I might take a shot, I might work some defense or I might work a strong jab. В любом случае, I’m going to make it a fight. All of my opponents have been down on the canvas and I don’t think Joshua is going to come shy of that as well.

 

“I’ve been picked as the smaller guy in the ring, by the IBF as a stepping stone and I feel like my back is against the wall. I’m going to come out fighting.

 

“To come here and win the IBF title in London is a major thing for me that I plan to achieve. Then I want to continuing to go after all the titles.

 

“My mind set has definitely changed. The situation that I’m in mentally is just different compared to some of my fights in the past. My confidence level is through the roof and physically I feel great.

 

“I think the heavyweight division is getting ready to change. With individuals like myself, Deontay and Tyson, we have guys who are characters who bring a lot of charisma to the division. That’s something that we need. Да, we are athletes but in the end we are entertainers and we want to see a show. I’m the type of guy that brings a show every single time I fight. It’s action-packed from the opening bell to the end, and fight fans are looking for that. That’s what is going to resurrect the heavyweight division.’’

 

On his win over Amir Mansour:

“That was another confidence booster for me. It’s one thing to finish a guy in the first round with three punches or something like that. It’s another thing to finish a guy in the sixth, seventh round with a combination of shots.

 

“Amir put me down on the canvas in the second, I battled back and ended up breaking the man’s jaw.

 

“It gives me something to work on. I know I was able to come back and be very successful from it. Anytime you get a win of that matter where you get a guy, break him down, break him down where he quits on the stool, it’s a huge confidence booster. It makes you understand as an athlete or as a professional boxer that you’ve got punching power, you just broke another man’s jaw.’’

 

On returning to London after the 2012 Олимпийские игры:

“I think it’s going to beautiful. It’s going to be great to go back to where my amateur career ended and beat the guy who won the gold medal. That’s going to be great. А потом, on top of that, take away more hardware with the IBF Heavyweight title. You couldn’t ask for anything better.

 

“Then again I do understand and believe I’m a completely different fighternot only am I a professional but I no longer fight an amateur style. I would consider myself a knockout artist with some pretty good punching power and that’s what I plan on showing the UK fans and my U.S. following. It’s a chapter that needs to be closed and I plan on doing that.’’

 

On the state of the heavyweight division:

“I believe that we’ve got a lot of heavyweights who are doing real well and are real successful in their situations, some being titleholders, some not. But I think it’s going to be a revolving circle. Me fighting Anthony Joshua, then going on to Deontay and Fury, Wladimir Klitschko might even hang around for a while. Will it ever be compared to the Ali days or Riddick Bowe and the Evander Holyfield days? Не знаю. Bowe and Holyfield had one great trilogy and I study it all the time. So it all depends on how much each fighter has left in him.’’

TOP WELTERWEIGHTS: THURMAN-PORTER WINNER TOO CLOSE TO CALL

Это Суббота, Июнь 25, Live in Primetime at 9 p.m. И/6 p.m. PT на CBS
Нажмите ВОТ For PBC Fighter Prediction Video
НЬЮ-ЙОРК (Июнь 22, 2016) – Their peers in the welterweight division – чемпионы мира, former champions, contenders and top prospectscan’t pick a definitive winner between defending WBA 147-pound king Кит “Один Раз” Турман (26-0, 22 КО) и бывший чемпион мира “Время Для Шоу” Шон Портер (26-1-1, 16 КО).
The majority of the fighters polledsome of whom are potential opponents down the line for the winnerlean toward Thurman, but most all concede that Субботу eagerly awaited main event of a SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® on CBS event, представлен Premier Boxing Champions (9 p.m. И/6 p.m. PT) at Barclays Center is going to be an intense, захватывающе, tight fight from start to finish that could go either way.
Here’s how the boxers see “Турман против. Носить”:
Дэнни Гарсия (WBC в полусреднем весе): “I think this is a great matchup. Thurman has the boxing ability and the movement while Shawn Porter is the aggressor and he’s going to bring the heat. To be honest with you it’s a 50-50 борьба, but I would give the edge to Keith Thurman by a very close decision.
Келл Брук (IBF в полусреднем весе):”This is a great fight, one I can’t wait to watch. If Shawn can stick to his boxing I think he can become world champion again on points, but Keith is heavy-handed and he could walk Shawn onto oneit’s really a pick ’em fight for me.
Эррол Спенс младший. (Непобедимый полусреднем весе): “I think this is a great fight between young fighters with good skill. Shawn throws a lot of punches while Thurman is a boxer who can punch too. I know Shawn will be aggressive and it should make for a great fight. If Keith can box and keep Shawn Porter on the outside I see Keith Thurman winning. If Shawn stays on the inside and stays in the chest of Keith, I see him winning.
Другое Берто (Former Welterweight Champion): “Shawn is going to come, but I think Keith will be on his toes and box but also drop hard shots as well when Shawn comes in. Keith can be very versatile in there and has a lot of great skills, while Shawn is more like a bull. Keith will hurt or knock Shawn down but will keep coming all night.
Sammy Vazquez (Непобедимый полусреднем весе): “Shawn is a pressure fighter and Thurman used to be a pressure fighter but now he boxes. It’s really hard for me to decide who is going to come out on top. Thurman has good power. It all depends on how Shawn is able to take Thurman’s punches. I think Thurman because of the power but Shawn will bring it for 12 раунды.”
Роберт Герреро (Former Welterweight Champion): This is a fight the fans are going to love watching. Both Thurman and Porter bring exciting styles to the ring. I think if Porter can keep the fight on the inside he’ll have a better chance to come out victorious. But Keith Thurman is a very smart and powerful fighter and will make the right adjustments. I just think Thurman is going to outbox Porter. I’m picking Thurman to win by decision in a very tough fight.
Луис Кольясо (Former Welterweight Champion): “I’m not sure who the favorite is, but I’m going with Porter. I like his style and I think it’s going to be interesting to see how Thurman holds up with the pressure Porter is going to bring.
Девон Александр (Former Welterweight Champion): “Это очень интересный бой. Both fighters are come forward type fighters and they swing for the fences when they throw. I don’t know who will come out on top because they have similar styles. Shawn Porter has decent power, but out of the two Keith has the more power. Мы увидим,. This is boxing.
