Jen kion la televidigita batalantoj devis diri pri siaj agadoj:
JAMAL JAMES
I adapted my style and started boxing more as the fight went on. Eventually I was able to time it right for when he came at me so I could strike first.
He caught me with a right in the fourth that dropped me, but I didn’t feel too buzzed.
Hopefully a win like this pushes me even further. I wanted to show my skills, but he was a formidable fighter. This was a great step-up fight for me to show people I’m not just a paper fighter.
I’m looking for more opportunities with PBC. This was an honor to get to fight in the main event on Bounce TV.
I’ll fight whoever my manager Al Haymon wants me to fight next. I can’t wait to get back in the gym and continue refining my skills.
JUAN CARLOS ABREU
I’m very disappointed in my performance. He’s a good fighter. I knew that, but I was surprised he was able to hurt me with his punches.
I didn’t fight the way I wanted to. In the first round, I got head-butted and I never really recovered. I was buzzed the whole fight after that and when he hit me, it hurt me more than it normally would.
Erickson Lubin
My corner helped me all fight. Every time I went to my corner they were helping me make the right adjustments.
I kept telling myself that if (Lora) throws two punches then I’m going to throw four. If he threw four, I’d throw eight. I wanted to double his effort and show that I have more will than him. I didn’t want this fight to go this distance.
Fighting on PBC on Bounce TV is going to help my career take off. I wanted to make a statement on TV so I could start stepping up my competition. I’m working towards a title shot.
ORLANDO LORA
I was not surprised at his power. I took his punches to my head very well, but my legs were shot. So I couldn’t move and had to stay in the pocket with him.
He caught me in the beginning of the fight in the solar plexus and that took my legs away from me for the rest of the fight. He hit me so hard to the body I couldn’t breathe and my legs went numb.
The stoppage was right. I would have loved to finish the ten rounds, but my corner knew I wasn’t going to go much longer.
Wilky CAMP FORT
I’ve always been a slow starter. At the start of the first round I wasn’t listening to my corner and (Montes) caught me off guard. But I got up and showed people what I came here to do.
“(Montes) is a knockout artist in his own right, but I’m a throwback fighter. I’ll fight anyone they put in front of me no matter how tough the other guy is.
Fighting on this PBC card on Bounce TV is huge. These are the fights I need to be in, fighting a tough opponent and on TV. I showed the fans my heart and that I can punch.
I want whoever they tell me to fight next. This is a business and I’m in it to win.
RONALDO MONTES
When I hurt him with that jab I thought I had him, but Campfort is a very strong guy.
I got overconfident. My plan was to box him but when I dropped him, I went in for the kill and got caught up in a brawl. That was not my plan. I was going to outbox him. It’s my fault.

HEADING FOR SURGERY IN MORNING, LARA FURIOUS WITH DIRTY TACTICS OF OPPONENT ROJAS

 

With plastic surgery to repair his badly damaged eyes scheduled for #Morga? En Meksiko, and his entire boxing career in jeopardy, featherweight contender JorgePilon” Lara (27-0, 19 KOs) says the opponent that caused the damage, Puerto Rico’s Jesus Rojas, should be banned permanently from boxing.
24-year-old Lara took on Rojas last Tuesday (Septembro 8) in the co-feature of a Fox Sports 1-televised night of PBC Boxing from the Hollywood Palladium in Hollywood, Kalifornio, and was forced to settle for a six-round technical draw after repeated headbutts from Rojas tore deep cuts over both his eyes. Lara suffered a bad cut on his left eye in round three and his right in round five. At the conclusion of round six, he indicated to referee Jack Reiss he was no longer able to see.
Under California rules, the fight went to the scorecards and was declared a draw when all three judges turned in scores of 57-57.
He doesn’t deserve an opportunity for a rematch and should have his license revoked,” said a still furious Lara. “This kind of behavior from a fighter is not good for boxing. I came to fight this guy and he fought like a coward. He came only to win with dirty tricks and fouls.
Lara says even if the surgery goes well he will be out a minimum of six months.
He did the same thing in his fight against Jorge Arce in 2012,continued Lara. “He can’t punch hard with his fists, so he uses a third fist that has no glove on it. And the fact that he got away with a technical draw and his headbutts were called accidental after he did over and over is disgraceful.
Lara is scheduled to see Plastic Surgeon Dr. Adrian Corona Macias in his hometown of Guadalajara.
I have worked so hard to get where I am in boxing and I hope the dirty tactics of one fighter don’t cost me my dreams.

PUERTO RICAN OLYMPIAN CARLOS IVAN VELASQUEZ PREPARES TO FACE SUPER FEATHERWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPION JAVIER FORTUNA IN LAS VEGAS TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29 ON PREMIER BOXING CHAMPIONS’ “TOE-al-piedfingra Tuesdays’ ON FS1 & FOX DEPORTES

CARLOS VELASQUEZ CAMP NOTES
Klako HERE For Photos From Team Velasquez
LASa VEGAS, NV (Septembro 16, 2015) – Less than two weeks away from hisMardo, Septembro 29 super-featherweight world title showdown against undefeated world champion boxer Ksavero “El AbejonFortuna (28-0-1, 20 KOs), Carlos Ivan Velasquez (19-1, 12 KOs) is gearing up for the fight of his life. He fights on Superegaj Boksaj #?ampiono (PBC) TOE-TO-TOE TUESDAYS headlined by Fortuna vs. Velásquez, a scheduled 12-round bout from The Pearl at Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas (9 P.M. ET/6 P.M. PT).
Velásquez was born in Cataño, Puerto Rico where he and his twin brother both competed in amateur boxing growing up. He was a member of the 2004 Puerto Rican Olympic boxing team, but also won the Featherweight title at the Central American and Caribbean Games. Training out of Las Vegas, NV with esteemed boxing trainer Roberto Norris, Velasquez shares his thoughts on training camp, fighting for Puerto Rico and fulfilling his dream of becoming a world champion.
On fighting for the Puerto Rican fans in this first world title opportunity:
I was born and raised in Puerto Rico and I love my countrymen and country. Becoming a world champion is something I’ve been working hard for my whole life. From coming up as an amateur and Olympian to now, I have dreamed about winning this title. The time has come to take my career to the next level. Being that this is my first world title shot, I’m fully prepared to show the world that I’m a great fighter and that I intend to bring the title back home to all my family, friends and fans on September 29Th.”
On fighting undefeated world champion Javier Fortuna:
Fortuna is considered one of the great fighters in the 130-pound division for a reason, he’s never lost. But he’s never been in the ring with a technical fighter like myself. He has a lot of flaws that we are going to expose.
On his world title opportunity coming on FS1 & VULPO Deportes:
“Kio povas min diras, I’m truly blessed to be fighting on PBC. FS1 and FOX Deportes are the new Mardo Night Fight channels. TOE-al-piedfingra Tuesdays is great for the sport. I’m honored to be fighting in the main-event on a great network like FS1 and FOX Deportes. Boxing has now gone back to its glory days, and I’m ready to shine.
On training with new coach Roberto Norris:
I find myself in a comfortable position training with Roberto Norris, who is working great with the physical attributes that God has blessed me with. Being that Fortuna is a southpaw, a great game plan must be implemented, and Norris has a masterful strategy in place. The knowledge that Norris conveys is really making a difference in my approach. I’m confident I’ll be able to dictate the pace of the fight and negate anything Fortuna tries to impose.
On working with strength and conditioning coach ÁngelMemoHeredia:
Angel Heredia is one of the best strength and conditioning coaches in boxing. With all the work we’ve done, I’ve never felt stronger going into a fight. His techniques are second to none. My stamina will be at peak performance when I step in the ring. Krome, Memo brings a lot of experience to my corner.
