The late Johnny Tapia remains strong influence for Albuquerque amateur boxer Sharahya-Taina Moreu

The late Johnny Tapia remains strong influence for

Albuquerque amateur boxer Sharahya-Taina Moreu

2020 USA Boxing Nationals, Dezembro. 5-12, Shreveport, Louisiana

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Novembro 23, 2020) – The late, great Hall of Fame boxer Johnny tapia played a significant role in the development of Albuquerque welterweight Sharahya-Taina Moreu, and the 3-division world champion remains a strong influence in her life.

During the COVID-19 pandemic she has been preparing to compete in the 2020 EUA Boxe Campeonato Nacional, Dezembro 5-12, at Shreveport Convention Center in Shreveport, Louisiana.

Tapia (shown below with his tattooed back to Moreu) helped Sharahya-Taina overcome the life-changing tragedy of her mother’s automobile accident. She was only eight at the time, laying on her mother after the accident, and the first out of the car and onto the highway asking for help.

“At first,” she spoke about her relationship with Tapia, “I was regretful and angry, getting into fights and on a bad path. I got into boxing at 12, took anger management, and became motivated.”

Tapia, who was a 2-time National Golden Gloves champion as an amateur, had a tremendous impact on Moreu’s life, something that will never leave her heart and soul.

“We became like family,” the 21-year-old explained. “At first, ele (Johnny) didn’t like girls boxing, so he worked me really hard. I was a good basketball player and he kept telling me to go play basketball. But he became a big person in my life, Eu acho que, because I had lost my mother at such a young age. He helped me in and out of the ring in so many ways. Johnny Tapia was the nicest, most humble man I’ve ever met. We became family until the gym fell apart. He only coached me for about eight months, but he taught me that boxing defines you as a person. I feel safe in the ring. I’m a better person because of Johnny and boxing.”

Training with her father/coachYoruba Moreu during the pandemic, although it was challenging to find good sparring, hasn’t been as much of a problem as for others because her gym is in the backyard. She hasn’t been in a fight since last December’s Olympic Trials.

“I’m excited to get back in the ring because I’ve gone too long without competition,” Moreu looked ahead to Shreveport. “It’s definitely going to be different, because there are a bunch of new faces coming for the number one spot, which makes it fun and worthy to fight.”

Proud to represent the United States in competition, Sharahya-Taina is proud of her Native American and Puerto Rican heritage, and she’s taken up the cause fighting for women.

“I love to embrace both sides of my culture,” she commented, “representing my Acoma side from my mother and Taino lineage from the Puerto Rican blood in me, and that’s why my name is Sharahya-Taina. Every day is a fight for women. I’m just making it known and clear that we are here to stay. I’m not just fighting for myself. I’m also fighting for my family, ancestors and the next generation of females who choose to pick up a pair of gloves. The goal is not to be just a champ in the ring, but on the outside, demais."

Moreu has been very successful in her development from youth to the elite division, winning the 2017 Youth National Championships and Western Regional Open, bem como o 2016 e 2017 Youth Open. She’s also been runner-up at the 2018 Elite National Championships and Western Elite Qualifier, plus the 2015 National Junior Olympics.

Sharahya-Taina Moreu is a young woman on a mission. She hopes to compete in the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, particularly with her younger brother if they both qualified to be, as she says, “an iconic brother/sister duo in Olympic boxing.”

UNBEATEN INTERIM WBA SUPER FEATHERWEIGHT CAMPEÃO CHRIS COLBERT BATALHAS DE JAIME ARBOLEDA DE HARD-HITTING AO VIVO NO SHOWTIME® SÁBADO, Dezembro 12 EM EVENTO APRESENTADO PELOS CAMPEÕES DE BOXE PREMIER

Os contendores do peso médio Matt Korobov e Ronald Ellis Clash

no Co-Main Event; Prospecto de peso superleve em ascensão Richardson Hitchins enfrenta o ex-campeão mundial Argenis Mendez no telecast abridor

NOVA IORQUE – Novembro 20, 2020 - Dois dos melhores lutadores na divisão de 130 libras se encontrarão quando o campeão interino WBA Super Featherweight invictoChris “Primetime” Colbertenfrenta o contundenteJaime Arboledano evento principal deShowtime Boxing: EDIÇÃO ESPECIAL Sábado, Dezembro 12 em 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT ao vivo no SHOWTIME da Mohegan Sun Arena em Uncasville, Conn., em um evento apresentado pela Premier Boxing Champions.

O tripleheader, originalmente programado para novembro 28, vai ver contendores peso médioMatt KoroboveRonald Ellisbatalha no co-evento principal de 10 assaltos e crescente fenômeno super leveRichardson Hitchinsenfrentando o teste mais difícil de sua jovem carreira ao enfrentar o ex-campeão mundialArgenis Mendezem um abridor de telecast de 10 rodadas. O evento é promovido pela TGB Promotions e Sampson Boxing. Hitchins vs. Mendez é co-promovido pela Mayweather Promotions.

Nordine Oubaali vs. Nonito Donaire estava originalmente programado para acontecer em dezembro 12 mas foi adiado depois que Oubaali testou positivo para COVID-19.

“Este evento principal em dezembro 12 vai colocar dois dos mais emocionantes talentos em ascensão da divisão de 130 libras um contra o outro, enquanto o sublimemente habilidoso Chris Colbert enfrenta o poderoso Jaime Arboleda em um confronto imperdível,”Disse Tom Brown, Presidente da TGB Promoções. “O co-evento principal verá dois contendores dos médios Matt Korobov e Ronald Ellis procurando mostrar que estão entre a elite da divisão, enquanto a abertura do SHOWTIME apresenta a emocionante perspectiva de Richardson Hitchins contra o sempre difícil Argenis Mendez em uma grande luta. Estas são três lutas equilibradas que devem criar um drama ininterrupto na noite da luta. ”

Representando seu Brooklyn natal, N.I., Colbert (14-0, 5 KOs) subiu rapidamente no ranking de 130 libras, enfrentando competição de alto nível em seu primeiro 14 lutas profissionais. O lutador de 24 anos venceu o então invicto lutador Austin Dulay, Titus Williams e Antonio Dubose, tudo em suas primeiras oito lutas como profissional. Em 2019, Colbert adicionou mais quatro vitórias à sua contagem, incluindo um nocaute explosivo no primeiro assalto do veterano Miguel Beltran Jr. Mais recentemente, Colbert conquistou seu título provisório ao derrubar o ex-campeão dos super-penas Jezreel Corrales em seu caminho para uma decisão unânime em janeiro 2020 choque.

“Estou muito animado por fazer minha estréia no palco principal no evento principal,”Disse Colbert. “Tem sido um longo acampamento, mas o treinamento está indo muito bem. Estou procurando ter um desempenho dominante, e estou procurando o nocaute se estiver lá. Se eu conseguir, isso seria esplêndido. Eu sei que o Jaime vai vir lutar. Ele quer o cinturão tanto quanto eu quero mantê-lo. Tudo vai se resumir à resistência, anel de QI e quem tem maior vontade de vencer. Eu sinto que sou o cara certo para o trabalho. Não há nenhuma maneira no inferno de eu desistir do meu cinturão em minha primeira defesa. "

Arboleda de 26 anos (16-1, 13 KOs) acumulou uma sequência de vitórias impressionantes de seis lutas indo para o confronto contra Colbert, com cinco dessas vitórias vindo de dentro da distância. Nasceu em Curundu, Panamá, e agora lutando contra Miami, Fla. Arboleda luta profissionalmente desde 2014 e marcou nocautes sobre dois oponentes então invictos em 2019, Victor Betancourt e Jose Saant. Em sua última luta, Arboleda, que está classificado em quarto lugar na divisão de 130 libras pela WBA, derrotou o ex-candidato ao título mundial Jayson Velez por decisão unânime de vencer sua primeira luta de 12 rounds em fevereiro no SHOWTIME.

“O sonho de todo boxeador é lutar por um título e ser vitorioso sem deixar dúvidas,”Disse Arboleda. “Esse é o meu plano para dezembro 12. Estou tendo a melhor preparação de toda a minha carreira. Eu me sinto ótimo, forte e rápido como nunca antes. Tenho certeza que será uma luta muito emocionante desde o primeiro round. ”

Korobov (28-3-1, 14 KOs) retorna à ação após perder seu dezembro 2019 confronto contra Chris Eubank Jr. quando sofreu uma lesão no ombro que obrigou a luta a terminar no segundo turno. Korobov, quem marcou 300 ganha como amador condecorado, veio para aquela luta de um empate majoritário contra Immanuwel Aleem, após notificar a divisão dos médios de que seria uma ameaça quando perdesse uma difícil decisão para o invicto campeão dos médios Jermall Charlo em dezembro. Nasceu em Orotukan, Rússia, e agora morando em St. Petersburg, Fla, Korobov foi uma substituição tardia e deu a Charlo uma luta mais dura do que muitos especialistas esperavam. Korobov vinha montando uma seqüência de quatro vitórias consecutivas antes da luta contra Charlo, após sua primeira derrota profissional contra Andy Lee em um 2014 luta pelo título dos médios.

“Estou animado por estar de volta em um evento do PBC no SHOWTIME de 12 de dezembro,” disse Korobov. “Eu tenho um oponente dificil, mas espero vencer e provar que estou de volta e ainda mais preparado. Devo vencer Ellis para colocar Jermall Charlo de volta no ringue. Claro, Eu acredito que venci Charlo, mas isso é passado. Ellis está no meu futuro, e estou vindo para mostrar que ainda sou um dos melhores pesos médios do mundo.”

Ellis de 31 anos (17-1-2, 11 KOs) vai tentar construir a partir de sua última saída, que o viu derrotar o rival Immanuwel Aleem por decisão da maioria em dezembro 2019. Para Ellis, aquela luta o colocou de volta na coluna das vitórias após sua primeira derrota na carreira, uma decisão da maioria contra DeAndre Ware em março 2019. The Lynn, Mass.-native é o irmão mais velho do meio-médio Rashidi Ellis, e teve uma carreira amadora impressionante, incluindo um 2010 Campeonato Nacional Golden Gloves culminado com uma vitória sobre Terrell Gausha.

“É hora de eu aparecer no dia 12 de dezembro,” disse Ellis. “Korobov teve sua chance contra os melhores pesos médios, e agora é a minha vez de aproveitar esta oportunidade e usar uma vitória sobre ele para chegar a esse nível. Estamos trabalhando muito em San Diego lutando com Canelo Alvarez para que tudo esteja perfeito e eu esteja no meu melhor na noite da luta.”

Um nativo do Brooklyn, Hitchins (11-0, 5 KOs) tornou-se profissional em 2017 depois de representar o Haiti no 2016 Jogos Olímpicos. O jovem de 23 anos exibiu habilidades impressionantes ao acumular uma invencibilidade no ranking profissional, que é o produto de uma extensa carreira amadora. Hitchins obteve quatro vitórias em 2019, antes de estrear em 2020 com uma vitória por decisão sobre Nicholas DeLomba. Em suas duas primeiras lutas de 10 rounds como profissional, o canhoto marcou decisões unânimes decisivas.

“Eu não negligencio nenhum oponente, mas acredito que tenho um conjunto de habilidades melhor e mais nítido do que Mendez,”Disse Hitchins. “Eu tenho todos os intangíveis para me tornar um campeão mundial. Muitas vezes isso é confundido com ser arrogante, mas sou apenas eu acreditando em mim mesmo mais do que qualquer outra pessoa. Vou levar essa luta a sério como faço qualquer outra luta e continuar a fazer o que faço para ficar um passo mais perto da chance de título. Estar no acampamento com Floyd Mayweather e Gervonta Davis, Eu aprendi muito. Eu sinto que tenho que superar a concorrência. Eles realmente me incentivaram a ser um lutador melhor. ”

Um ex-campeão superpluma, Mendez (25-5-3, 12 KOs) tem a reputação de fornecer desafios rígidos para os melhores do esporte e provou ser um competidor durável com 140 libras. Em 2019, Mendez lutou por empates consecutivos contra contendores superleves, primeiro contra Anthony Peterson em março e depois contra o invicto Juan Heraldez em maio. Nasceu em San Juan de La Maguana, República Dominicana, Mendez agora luta fora de Yonkers, N.I.. e possui vitórias sobre Eddie Ramirez, Ivan Redkach e o ex-campeão Miguel Vazquez. Ele também enfrentou os ex-campeões Rances Barthelemy e Robert Easter Jr.

“Estou diante de um jovem cliente que está sedento de sucesso, mas estou com mais fome hoje do que jamais estive em minha carreira e tenho a experiência de ir junto com isso,”Disse Mendez. “Também estou extremamente motivado para esta luta, o que não é uma boa notícia para Hitchins. Quando chega a hora da luta em dezembro 12, você vai testemunhar um Argenis Mendez inteligente, mas mais agressivo. ”

Undefeated lightweight prospect JAMAINETHE TECHNICIANORTIZ Hopes to Steal Tyson-Jones Junior Show

WORCESTER, Massa. (Novembro 17, 2020) – Undefeated lightweight prospectJamaine “O Técnico” Ortiz (13-0, 7 KOs), the reigning World Boxing Youth World champion, hopes to steal the show on the November 28th Mike Tyson-Roy Jones, Jr. pay-per-view card, presented by Tyson’s Legends Only League, at Staples Center in Los Angeles.

The 24-year-old Ortiz, fighting out of Worcester, Massachusetts, will fight on the undercard against Maryland southpawSulaiman Segawa (13-2-1, 4 KOs) in an 8-round bout for the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) USNBC (U.S) lightweight title.

“I feel good and I’m ready,” Ortiz said. “I’m privileged for this opportunity to fight on the Tyson-Jones card and get good exposure. I hope to steal the show. As a kid, I followed them both, especially Jones. I tried to imitate him”

Like all fighters, the COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically affected his career, although he has managed to train, albeit in various gyms and mostly by himself.

“It wasn’t too bad,” added Ortiz, who is an apprentice carpenter. “Not all of the facilities I use to train were open. Early on, I trained by myself, and did a lot of running. We were quarantined until late June, early July, but then I was able to get good sparring. So, No geral, it wasn’t too much of a change.”

Ortiz is promoted byJimmy Burchfield (Classic Entertainment and Sports) and advised byRichard Shappy eEddie Imondi

“We’re happy our fighter, Jamaine Ortiz, will be getting such great exposure and he will show the world what we already know here in New England,” Shappy commented. “Jamaine ‘The Technician’ Ortiz is a force that will have to be reckoned with.”

Omar Juarez’ Touching Story with Special Needs Child

BROWNSVILLE, TX (Novembro 10, 2020) – The rapidly expanding emergence of an inspirational leader continues unabated in the personage of undefeated super lightweight prospect, Omar Juarez (9-0, 4 KOs). An outstanding professional boxer by trade, Juarez is rising on the national stage with his recent designation as brand ambassador for the newly formed partnership between the California based Feet First Foundation and the globally recognized World Boxing Council’s humanitarian branch “World Boxing Cares”.


Omar Juarez’ carefully crafted message about the principles needed to achieve goals has positively affected young people’s lives in his hometown, Brownsville, Texas since he was 15-years old. The overwhelmingly positive feedback he has received from young people about his message has inspired him to even greater heights in this endeavor.


None more than a touching tribute he just received from a special needs child named Isaias, who deals with acute challenges that include communication. Isaias is limited to communicating through a laptop and was a frequent visitor to Omar’s gym on Fridays when it was opened to special needs kids.


As the pandemic took hold, Isaias found himself isolated at home and began to feel the effects of this isolation, he typed out a message of gratitude to Omar for being a source of inspiration and hope. His family acknowledged to Omar the much needed solace this represented to their son.


“To hear a message like the one I received from Isaias and his family made my day,” said Omar Juarez, who fights under the Premier Boxe dos Campeões bandeira. “Its moments like these that keep me motivated as I continue to be a positive role model in my community. As a Chinese proverb states…I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the water to create many ripples.


These are the touching moments that energize Omar as he continues his quest to become an inspirational leader on a worldwide scale.

Sa’Rai Brown-El : The future of women’s boxing – 2020 USA Boxing Nationals, Dezembro. 5-12, Shreveport, Louisiana

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Novembro 9, 2020) – The future of women’s boxing, talvez, is 15-year-oldSa’Rai Brown-El, who has already captured top honors in 11 national and regional tournaments.

Since she started boxing in 2015, Sa’Rai has collected gold medals at the 2019 Junior Open, 2019 PAL Nacional, 2019 & 2017 National Junior Olympics, 2017 Western Regional Open, and Eastern Regional Open in 2017, 2018 and 2019.

“I stayed focused and hungry and, mais importante, humilde,” she spoke about her success in the junior division. “No matter how much you’ve accomplished or the number of accolades you’ve gotten, always stay hungry and always strive for more.”

Boxing started for her when she was 10, training at Lugo Boxing and Fitness in Marietta, Georgia. Prior to that in her native Albany (Nova Iorque), she went to her uncle’s gym and found a pair of boxing gloves.

“I fell in love with boxing when I found that first pair of gloves,” Brown-El explained. “I first started boxing because, naquela hora, my dad didn’t agree with me. I saw a lot of people who didn’t agree with females competing in a male dominated sport, so I wanted to prove those people wrong. I just love boxing because my whole family boxes.”

The COVID-19 pandemic adversely effected most boxers, who were limited in terms of training and sparring, in addition to being shutout of tournaments. Brown-El, contudo, made the best of a bad situation, running miles with her siblings, cardio mitt work with her father, and much more.

Brown-El has her sights firmly set on the 2020 EUA Boxe Campeonato Nacional, Dezembro 5-12, at the Shreveport Convention Center in Shreveport, Louisiana.

“I am super excited and super focused on the National Championships,” she added. “I am fighting to get on the USA High Performance Team for my second year. I really want this and I will be working hard every day. My goal for now is to be on Team USA for the second time. I want to fight internationally and be Number 1 in the world.”

Brown-El has definitive long-range goals in boxing, starting with the Olympics and finishing as the face of women’s boxing.

“If I win a gold medal at the 2024 Jogos Olímpicos, maybe a second time in 2028, after that I think that will open up great opportunities for me,” the prodigy commented. “I think it’ll especially help me in the pro ranks. Winning a gold medal is my biggest goal right now.

“I want to be the greatest female boxer in the world. I want to be known and I want to make a statement for all females. I really want to shock the world. I eat, sleep, and breath boxing. This is not just a sport for me, this is a lifestyle.”

Sa’Rai Brown-El is on a golden path to stardom. She represents the future!

Giovanni Marquez following in Olympian and world champion father’s footsteps

2020 USA Boxing Nationals, Dezembro. 5-12, Shreveport, Louisiana

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Novembro 2, 2020) – Houston welterweight amateur boxerGiovanni Marquezis hoping for a little Deja-vu from his chief coach and grandfatherArturo Marquez, who guided his son and Giovanni’s fatherRaul “El Diamante” Marquez, to a roster spot on the 1992 USA Boxing Olympic Boxing Team.

Raul, who was a 2-time US amateur champion in two different weight classes, welterweight, and junior middleweight, went on to become the International Boxing Federation (IBF) light middleweight World champion, retiring with a 41-4 (12 KOs) pro record.

Rather than turn pro this year, 19-year-old Giovanni remained in the amateur ranks, albeit with a series of goals, em primeiro lugar, to capture a gold medal at the 2020 EUA Boxe Campeonato Nacional, Dezembro 5-12, at the Shreveport Convention Center in Shreveport, Louisiana.

“My goal this year is to win the U.S. Nationals and have outstanding performances throughout the tournament,” Giovanni reported. “My long-term goal is to compete internationally and represent the United States at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.

“The reason I returned for another year after missing in the Olympic Trials is because I still have a lot to prove on the amateur boxing scene. My team and I decided this was the best decision and I am still very young. My performances in every national tournament I’ve competed in have consistently improved every time. In my last national tournament – Last Chance Qualifier – I faced off withdelante Johnson, o 2020 US Olympic Qualification Team member, and I lost a split decision. Although I lost the fight, I proved that I could compete at the highest level with the top dogs. Now that I’m a little bit older, mais forte, and physically and mentally more mature, I’m confident I have what it takes to become No. 1 in the division. This is why my team and I decided to stay an amateur instead of turning pro.

“I’m very excited about these Nationals, excited to show what I’ve been working on and critiquing everyday inside the gym. Winning the Nationals will mean the world to me, as I have put in so much time and effort into this sport. With my experience gained the past few years, hard work and maturity, I am confident a gold medal awaits me in Shreveport.”

A boxer-puncher who makes the necessary adjustments needed to win, Giovanni has the ability to switch from his orthodox stance to southpaw, comfortably and effectively.

Being the son of a famous boxer, naturalmente, has its advantages and disadvantages. Giovanni is ready to break out on his own, at least to some extent, with his grandfather and grandmother (Yolanda Marquez) working his corner, while his dad sits in the stands watching the action.

“Coming from a boxing family,” Giovanni remarked, “I was always in the gym messing around on the heavy bag while my father was training. The reason I started boxing was because it’s something that was just part of my family’s life. I had an interest to try it out myself and realized I was talented. I fell in love with the sport and haven’t looked back since. My first official fight was when I was 12.

“There definitely are more eyes on the son of a famous boxer. This doesn’t add pressure on me, it motivates me to prove that I am capable of accomplishing the same things my father did like winning national titles. To have a father with his experience and knowledge in boxing is truly a blessing.”

Training during the COVID-19 pandemic hasn’t really been a problem, largely because his grandfather and father are boxing gym owners. Giovanni did struggle, embora, because he worried about his grandfather’s health due to his advanced age and susceptibility to dangerous complications if infected. They’ve stayed healthy by practicing social distancing and properly sanitizing each and every day in the gym.

“Being cornered by my grandfather is a good feeling,” Giovanni explained, “because I know everything he tells me is for my own good. I feel like my grandfather already created one Olympian in my dad, so he has all the right tools and knowledge to do the same with me.

“Not only is he my boxing coach, he’s also a mentor who has groomed me into the young man I am today. My father and uncle also help to train me by working the mitts and helping out with strength and conditioning workouts. Ultimately, it is a good feeling to have my family in my corner, pushing me beyond my limits in order for me to be successful.”

Giovanni Marquez is preparing to establish his own identity.

DEVIN HANEY TRAINING CAMP QUOTES AND PHOTOS: “I have a goal to be the first billionaire boxer

LAS VEGAS, NV (Outubro 30, 2020) – Undefeated WBC lightweight world champion Devin “O sonho” Haney (24-0, 15 KOs), will return to the ring on November 7, 2020, against former 2004 Olympic Gold Medalist and two-time world champion Yuriorkis Gamboa (30-3, 18 KOs).


Haney vs. Gamboa is a 12-round world title fight taking place at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada, and will be the main event on a highly anticipated Matchroom USA card in association with Devin Haney Promotions, broadcast on DAZN.


Here is what Devin Haney, the WBC Lightweight Champion, had to say ahead of his fight with Gamboa as he wraps up his final day of training camp in Las Vegas.


On his recent training camp in Las Vegas.


“I stay in the gym, I basically live in the gym, so once camp begins, I put my all into training. I do not want to be outworked, and I am driven by those around me. I am extremely focused right now. I’m going to be the face of boxing.


On returning after his shoulder injury.


“No athlete wants to ever be injured. I took the time I needed to, listened to the doctors, and let my body rest. One good thing from the social distancing and stay-at-home orders was it occurred during the time I was recovering so I was able to be fully rested once the gyms reopened. I am now 100% and better than ever, you will see on fight night.”


On his matchup with Yuriorkis Gamboa.


“Gamboa has done a lot in the sport, and the fact that he gave a lot of fighters tough fights, says a lot about him. I want to prove a point in this bout that a lot of people are not mentioning my name amongst the best in the world, and I am looking to change that by putting forth a performance against Gamboa that no one has ever seen before. I respect Gamboa as a fighter, but in the ring, I will have no respect for him at all. In the ring he is my enemy.


On what a spectacular win means for your career.


“Obviously, a win gives me my 2nd world title defense which is very important to me. Title defenses shows a lot about what kind of fighter you really are. I don’t care how you won it or who you won it fromcan you defend the world title against all challengers? That’s what I represent as a throwback champion. You can have a strategy to get there but when you become a champion you become a target. Tank Davis, Teofimo Lopez and Ryan Garcia are all great potential opponents for me. I’d rather fight sooner than later but they have to feel the same way about me. I have a goal to be the first billionaire boxer, and to do that I have to put forth billion-dollar performances. That’s exactly what I’m going to do on November 7th in Miami.”

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday:

GERVONTA DAVIS

“My team and I decided to move our camp to Las Vegas so we could have a perfect camp. We spent 15 weeks in training, so I’m well prepared. Hopefully Leo is well prepared and we give the fans what they want to see.

“We know Leo is going to come with a lot of punches and I’m going to be explosive. It’s all about giving fans a treat. I’m grateful to be in this position and I’m ready. Saturday night is going to be a memorable night.

“Not to take anything from him, Yuriorkis Gamboa was just trying to survive against me. It’s harder to get punches off when someone isn’t trying to bring the fight. I know Leo is going to come to fight. I think this performance is going to put me up to the next level.

“I don’t think I have to knock him out, I just have to go out there and be great. Forget everything else, I just have to go out there and show everyone that I’m the top guy in the boxing world. That’s my main goal.

“Michael Jordan used to read the paper and do what they said he couldn’t do. That’s what I’m doing. I have to prove that I’m the baddest man in the sport on Saturday night.

“Leo is going to come to fight and it’s just about me stepping up and doing what I do best. You can see the potential in a fighter from the outside, but you have to see it actually come out in a fight to believe it. That’s the position I’m in. Everyone knows I’m great, I just have to show it.

“Leo has shown that he’s a top tier fighter, and he’s going up against an explosive, powerful fighter like myself. I think the winner should be in the top 10 of the pound-for-pound list.

“Floyd Mayweather has just told me to stay focused despite everything that comes with pay-per-view week. I have to get the job done first, but also do everything that comes with being the next pay-per-view star.

“I’m one of those fighters that knows how to focus when I have something big in front of me. None of the great fighters before me have frozen up when it’s crunch time. I’ve always been able to focus when big things are on the line. That’s what I did for this training camp.

“I’m not really focused on anyone who isn’t Leo Santa Cruz. I can’t overlook Leo. As far as any other fighter out there, they just don’t matter to me right now. I’ll prove it along the way. This is one step closer to proving the point I want to prove.”

LEO SANTA CRUZ

“This is what I’ve always dreamed of. When I was a little boy, I wanted to be on this stage. I’m living that dream and I’m very happy and excited. I never thought I’d accomplish it. I thought it was like winning the lottery. But thanks to the fans, I’m here where I’m at.

“I’m facing the best fighter in the division. If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best. I have to go against the best fighter. I wanted to challenge myself. I know this is a dangerous fight for me, but I want to test myself.

“We’ve both suffered and been through a lot to get here. Neither of us wants to go back to where we started. So I know we’re both going to give a great fight to the fans.

“I have the heart of a Mexican warrior. My dad has told me to fight a smart fight, but even though he’s going to say that, there’s a good chance I end up brawling with him at times. Não importa o que, we’re going to find a way to beat him.

“I don’t really worry about being the underdog. Everyone has their opinion. It’s my job to go out there and prove the doubters wrong. I trained hard to go out there and do that Saturday.

“Gervonta is the best opponent I’ve faced. He’s the strongest fighter I’ll have faced. The Abner Mares and Carl Frampton fights were great experience for this kind of fight. I learned a lot from those four fights and since then I’ve learned a lot more.

“It would mean the world to me to become a five-division champion. It would be another dream come true. I would put the Santa Cruz last name right up there with the best.

“Gervonta is a big guy and I know he’s going to come hit hard. But I’ve trained with bigger guys all camp and I’ve been able to take everything thrown at me.

“The fans want you to go and make it a back and forth war. I know against Gervonta I have to fight smart. I’m going to just try as hard as I can to listen to my father’s advice.

“I definitely took this fight to quiet the critics. People said I didn’t want to fight the big names. So I went after the biggest challenge in the division and that’s Gervonta Davis.

“I leave the opinions to the fans and media. My job is to get the win and give the fans a great fight. I’m going to give it my best and leave it all in the ring.”

CALVIN FORD, Treinador de Davis

“O acampamento tem sido ótimo. It was unbelievable. I really appreciate the work that he put in. I can’t wait to see Tank in the ring. I’m looking forward to great performances from both fighters.

“’Tank’ accomplished a lot of things that I’ve asked him to do, but this is the pinnacle of them all right here. Both of these families have walked the same line with different trails. They both have a chance to become greats with this win.

“Every time I look at ‘Tank’ now, I flash back to those younger years in the gym with him as a child. Now he’s the man I’ve always looked at him to be. He’s a family man, business man and a wonderful fighter. It’s amazing to see one of my boys all grown up.”

JOSÉ SANTA CRUZ, Santa Cruz’s Father and Trainer

“We had a really good training camp and understand the importance of this fight. Leo is fully prepared for this fight on Saturday and I expect him to have a great performance.

“I’m very thankful to be here. I’m so happy to be here with my son for such a big fight and be able to guide him and help him accomplish his dream.

“We know that Davis is a very strong and accomplished fighter. But Leo has just used it to motivate him in the gym every day and you’ll be able to see that on Saturday.”

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Presidente, Programação de esportes e eventos, Showtime Networks Inc.

“One of the biggest reasons I love boxing is because we get to witness young men, like ‘Tank’ Davis and Leo Santa Cruz, develop and mature right in front of our eyes. This is our ninth fight with ‘Tank’ and 13th with Leo. We have seen them mature as fighters and we have seen them mature as young men. We’ve seen them struggle, suor, and triumph. We’ve seen them become fathers.”

“I remember the first time I met ‘Tank’, it was April 2016 em Washington, D.C. He was on the non-televised undercard of an Adrien Broner fight. He had already fought, he came over during the telecast and Floyd introduced him. I remember his very words, ‘This is my young fighter. Watch out for this kid.’ And we’ve been watching ever since.

“I remember the first time I met Leo was in June 2012. Shortly before his first world title fight. He was a very humble, quieto, soft spoken, almost shy young men. Very different from the guy that I saw in the ring about 48 hours after that. The point is, we’ve been along for the journey of these young men.

“They have been battling the odds, literally since birth. We were lucky enough to spend time with them during ALL ACCESS. They opened their hearts, their minds, and themselves to share their stories. The thing I’ve heard most is that the difficulty about this fight is not whether people want to watch it or whether they’re going to buy it, it’s who they’re going to root for. Because if you know these young men’s stories, what they’ve gone through, and what they’ve experienced, it is incredible.

“The bottom line is in these two young men we have two of the most accomplished and popular young fighters in the sport today. Leo has been a champion almost consistently since 2012. ‘Tank’ had sellouts or near sellouts in Los Angeles, Baltimore and Atlanta, just last year. We have got these two accomplished young men fighting on Saturday night. You have to respect their journey, de onde eles vêm, and respect the teams that come around him.

“We do know what’s going to happen on Saturday night. Leo is going to come into the ring, throw a lot of punches and show an activity rate that’s unlike just about anybody else in the sport. ‘Tank’ is going to show the power, velocidade, and the athleticism that has made him one of the fastest rising young stars that we’ve seen in sport in some time. Além disso, it will be up to them, just like it’s been up to them for their entire lives.”
