Here is what the press conference participants had to say Saturday from Microsoft Theater at L.A. Levende:

**ERROL Spence JR.**

“I train old school so I don’t worry about how Mikey is planning to get stronger at the weight. I’m not worried about it and I don’t think it will make a difference in the fight. I’m just going to focus on what I have to do to be at my best.

“Size always matters, but when you get in there, at the end of the day, it’s about skills and intelligence. I’m not going to rely on size. I’m going to focus on my talent. If I can roll through him, then I’ll show my killer instinct and try to get him out of there. I’m going to use my ability to break him down.

“At first I thought he was just chasing my name when he was calling me out. Once it became real, I saw how serious he was. At that point I was very confident it would happen.

“I’m not the bully here because Mikey really pushed for the fight. The other champions weren’t available at the time, plus Mikey is the only top fighter who called me out. I knew this was a fight I wanted.

“Mikey is undefeated, has a great skill set and has won a title at 140-pounds. I don’t see him as that small a fighter. He has a technical style that’s very traditional. He likes to use angles to set his opponent’s up.

“We’re focused on what I can do and what our game plan is. I always spar the same people no matter what because they get me into the condition I need to be in and they have me primed for any challenge.

“The welterweight division has always been one of the strongest divisions in the sport and it is like that now. We just need to fight each other. I’m ready to fight any of them. Whoever ends up on top from this group, will end being a Hall of Famer. That’s how you become an all-time great.

“This is something I’ve been waiting for my whole life. I’m focused and prepared for this challenge. It’s going to be all eyes on me and Mikey in that ring and I can’t wait.

“I’m happy that someone is challenging me. I’ve been looking for an opponent like him. He’s established himself in this sport. I’m happy to be able to take on this challenge. I’m looking for a skillful Mikey Garcia to bring the best out of me on March 16.

“My vision is that my hand will be raised in victory, whether it’s a knockout or a 12-round grueling fight, I’m preparing for the best Mikey Garcia skill wise, strength wise and as far as his ring intelligence.”

**Mikey GARCIA**

“These are the kinds of challenges I want. I need someone like Errol Spence Jr., with his demeanor and style, to bring the best out of me. I want the world to finally see the full Mikey Garcia.

“The training that we did in the Bay Area definitely helped me. We are going up in weight and needed to do a different type of training. We wanted to make sure that we gained a little bit of mass so that I can be able to hold off Errol Spence’s weight and strength.

“The key to my strength training was that we didn’t want to lose my speed and explosiveness. I can see now that I’m back in sparring that I still have that speed while also gaining the muscle we had to.

“If people say Errol is bigger, that’s just obvious. But who’s faster? Who has better timing? There’s a lot more that goes into this sport and who’s going to win this particular fight.

“This has been one of the toughest camps I’ve ever had. We’re working on a lot of different methods and techniques to be at our very best. He’s going to be bigger than me on fight night, but that’s part of the challenge. I’ve know that since the beginning and that’s why we’ve trained the way we have.

“When I saw him fight Lamont Peterson I decided that Errol Spence Jr. was the fight I wanted one day. People tried to talk me out of it, but now they’re all on board. People have now started to see what I’m going to be capable of on March 16.

“I want the best Errol Spence Jr. I know he’s a great fighter with a lot of skills and talent. He hasn’t needed to use all of his skills, ligesom mig. He does everything well, but nothing spectacular. I just feel like I’m the better fighter. I think I have the advantage everywhere except maybe power, but we’ll find out on fight night.

“This is history in the making. I’m trying to establish a great legacy. This is the kind of fight that I need. I know my fans are going to show up and give me a lot of support. This fight truly excites me and motivates.

“I’m not going to let this fight slip away. I’m going to establish myself as one of the best of the generation and eventually one of the best of all time.

“Even though some people believe I’m the underdog, I don’t see myself that way. I’m undefeated and I think Errol knows that I pose a challenge. It’s no easy task for either one of us. This is the fight that I need for my legacy.”

**DERRICK JAMES, Spence træner**

“This fight is all about the skillset, not the size. Size will come into play a little bit, but we’re going to show the skillset that we have to beat this guy. That’s what Errol is going to show.

“Mikey Garcia has a good technical style. But there’s always a method to take down a great fighter. I think that a day like today will inspire us even more to work even harder. We can see him right in front of us. Its real and we can’t wait.

“When I first saw Errol we were actually sparring each other. We started working together and I got to see him walk through guy after guy. We knew he was a great athlete, but it took time to build to where I started to realize he was something special.”

**ROBERT GARCIA, Garcia’s Brother & Trainer**

“This is a big challenge for us to go up in weight to fight the best welterweight in the world. But it’s not like its’ never been done before and I know Mikey has the skills and power to pull it off. That’s what we’re coming to Dallas to do.

“This is an opportunity for Mikey to continue building his legacy. He wants to be known as one of the greatest fighters of all time and a win over Errol Spence Jr. is a big step toward that.

“I don’t think they’ve overlooking Mikey. “They know the talent he has. They’re getting ready for a great fight like they’ve done before. I think they know that they’re in for a real fight.”

**DAVID Benavidez**

“I’m back here in this stage and that’s all that matters. I’m living and learning. I can’t wait to be in position to again fight for the world title.

‘I actually sparred with J’Leon Love when I was 15-years-old. He’s a great fighter who’s a veteran. Jeg er ikke udsigt ham. I’m training for this fight like it’s a world title fight. Whatever style he comes with, I’m going to be ready for it.

“I’m better than ever. Everything has been a lesson learned. I had to sit out while I lost my spot, so now I’m more motivated than ever. This year we’re leaving the past in the past and coming back stronger.”

**CHRIS Arreola**

“I’m excited to be back. It was a long layoff where I spent time with my son and watched him grow. I missed that feeling of being in front of fans and getting that nervous energy right before a fight.

“I’m anticipating and I’m hoping for a rowdy crowd on March 16. There will be a lot of Spence and Garcia fans and a whole lot of great fights. Us Mexicans, we love fights.

“I know that my opponent is a southpaw and he’s slick. He’s going to try to out box me. I know he’s not going to want to stay in my wheelhouse. I have to be in shape to go the distance and be ready for shots coming from different angles.”

**JERRY JONES, Dallas Cowboys Owner, President and General Manager**

*On hosting Spence and Garcia at separate Cowboys home games last season:*
“It was just good to rub elbows with champions. I want all that they have to rub off on me and the Dallas Cowboys.

“The fact that FOX is involved and their interest in this fight is amazing. We’ve had great events with FOX, including the Super Bowl. Our stadium was really built for boxing. These fighters will be standing 70 feet tall suspended above the ring on the video board. It’s an excellent way to feel like you’re so close you’re receiving the blows from these great fighters.

“We’re so excited for our Mexican-American fan base. This is a great area for boxing. We endear ourselves to be involved with an event like this in anyway the Cowboys can. Especially with two great fighters like Spence and Garcia.

“I think you’ll see a fight with outstanding champions involved on March 16. You don’t get to see the best against the best very often. At AT&T Stadium, you’ll see it in a way that can’t be matched at normal sports venues. The aura of having thousands of fans like at a football game is unmatched. It’s a grand experience and we’re proud to be a part of boxing.”

**RICHARD Schäfer, Formand & CEO for Ringstar Sport**

“The winner of this fight will be pound-for-pound the best in the world. Everybody would agree both of these guys are near the top of that list, and I believe whoever wins will be number one. This is a coronation for who is today the king of the sport.

“Mikey Garcia is technically one of the best fighters in the world. Errol Spence Jr. is a strong, determined fighter who just wants to prove that he’s the best. This fight is a chance for both guys to prove they’re the best in the world.”

**TOM BROWN, Formand for TGB Promotions**

“This is a true blockbuster event, worthy of this incredible press conference live on FOX. These two fighters are not only superstars of the sport, but the winner of this fight will be able to make the claim of being number one pound-for-pound.

“FOX and the Dallas Cowboys have given a tremendous amount of support to this event and we anticipate an unforgettable evening on March 16. Mikey Garcia is truly daring to be great against a fighter in Errol Spence Jr. who has established himself as the class of the 147-pound division.”

MULVANE, Maj. – februar 15, 2019 – Shohjahon Ergashev overvandt en fordel på fem og en halv tomme i højden og registrerede en enstemmig beslutningssejr over den ubesejrede kollega Mykal Fox i den 10-runders superlette hovedbegivenhed i *ShoBox: Den nye generation* Fredag på SHOWTIME fra Kansas Star Casino.

Med den berømte træner Sugarhill Stewart, der råber instruktioner fra sit hjørne, den Detroit-baserede power-punching Ergashev (16-0, 14 KOS), ved hjælp af Fergana, Usbekistan, gjorde nok for at besejre den rangy 6-fod-4 Fox (19-1, 5 KOS) i en matchup af to spændende ubesejrede udsigter. Pointene blev 96-94 og 98-92 to gange (*Klik HER at se*).

»Jeg troede ikke, det var en tæt kamp,Sagde Ergashev, som kun var i stand til at lande to jabs hele kampen manglede mere end hundrede gange. "Han var akavet, og hans hoved var meget lavt. Han var også meget lang og høj, så det var svært at slå ham i hovedet. Jeg forventede, at han ville køre hele kampen, og det gjorde han.

Ergashev tilsluttede sig 29 procent af hans magt slag (66 for 225) sammenlignet med Fox kl 27 procent (41 for 153).

Ergashev sagde, at han var skuffet over sin præstation. "Jeg kommer for at kæmpe,"Sagde han. »Jeg kan godt lide kæmpere, der står og kæmper. Jeg er en fighter. Jeg kan godt lide fyre, der lader mig vise mine evner og bang. Fox boksede ikke engang. Han løb bare rundt i ringen. Jeg ville sætte mig ned og kæmpe.”

Den 23-årige Fox of Forest Hill, Md., en af de højeste kæmpere i 140-pund-divisionen, sagde, at han var enig i et af dommernes kort, men ikke de to 98-92'ere. "Jeg vidste, det var tæt på, og tænkte, at jeg måske gjorde nok for at vinde," sagde Fox, som gjorde et godt stykke arbejde med at bremse kampens tempo. "Jeg tror, det var tættere på end 98-92. Jeg tog et par billeder, men jeg vidste, at han ville blive stærk."

Fox blev den 186^th fighter til at miste deres ubesejrede rekord i prospect-udviklingsserien.

Fox, som havde sin far Troy og bror og kollega, professionel bokser-mellemvægter Alantez i sit hjørne, blev den niende fighter i *ShoBox* historie at have en bror, der også kæmpede videre *ShoBox* slutter sig til broderduoer som Jermall og Jermell Charlo, Andre og Anthony Dirrell og Glenn og Nonito Donaire.

Ved indledningen anfald af telecast, Englands Thomas Ward (26-0, 4 KOS) leverede en imponerende præstation og viste U.S. kampfans, han vil være en kraft at regne med i den vidåbne 122-pund vægtklasse, da han vandt en enstemmig beslutning mod *ShoBox* veteranen Jesse Hernandez (11-2, 7 KOS).Klik HER for at se en opsummering.

Kæmper for første gang i USA, WBO-nr. 4-rangeret Ward of West Rainton, England, scorede et knockdown i fjerde runde og tog 10-runders superbantamvægtkamp let mod Fort Worths Hernandez. Pointene blev 100-89, 99-90 og 98-90.

“Jeg kom til Amerika og kæmpede mod en hjemmekæmper og vandt ganske komfortabelt, Jeg fik endda en knockdown,” sagde den 24-årige Ward. "Han skulle være puncheren, og jeg skulle være bokseren. Mange mennesker tror, at jeg ikke kan slå, så bliver de oversikre og bliver klippet. Så indser de, at jeg kan slå. Se på hans ansigt sammenlignet med mit. Det vil fortælle dig noget."

Ward startede stærkt, og så ud til at blive bedre, efterhånden som kampen fortsatte. »Han har været på gas fra åbningsklokken, og han er ikke sluppet af det,” sagde International Boxing Hall of Famer og *ShoBox* play-by-play kommentator Barry Tompkins i de sidste minutter af 10^th og sidste runde.

Ward overskred tocifrede forbindelser i hver runde og toppede 30 i fem af de sidste seks runder, mens Hernandez kun nåede tocifret tre gange.

Det var en ren venstre hook, der sendte Hernandez til lærredet i de sidste sekunder af fjerde runde (*KlikHER at se*). Ward kontrollerede midten af kampen og landede konsekvente treslagskombinationer mod Hernandez, som i slutningen af runde seks blev advaret af dommer Bill Clancy om, at han tog en masse straf og var nødt til at vise ham noget, ellers ville han stoppe kampen. På toppen af den niende, Dommeren er stadig bekymret over Hernandez manglende handling, ringede til lægen og stillede endnu en gang det samme spørgsmål. Lægen gav Hernandez tilladelse til at fortsætte.

Hernandez sagde, at han følte Wards magt, og var imponeret. "Yeah, han fik mig med det tilbage, men jeg kom mig,"Sagde han. "Men al ære til ham. Et knockdown er et knockdown."

Ward sagde, at Hernandez bad om kampen, men var ikke forberedt på det. "Jeg vidste, at han var en god, erfaren fighter,"Ward sagde. »Han har kæmpet mod nogle gode fyre og slået nogle gode fyre ud. Han skal være en puncher, men jeg var bare på et andet niveau i aften.

"Jeg ville have en god kamp for at vise mine færdigheder, og jeg er glad for, at folkene fortsætter *ShoBox* skal se det."

Farhood interviewede den ubesejrede mellemvægtverdensmester Claressa Shields før hovedbegivenheden. Shields og andre ubesejrede mester Christina Hammer mødes på lørdag, April 13 live på SHOWTIME for at krone kvindernes ubestridte verdensmester på 160 pund. Blockbuster-foreningen fra Boardwalk Hall i Atlantic City, N.J. bliver hovedbegivenheden i *SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL UDGAVE*live at 9 p.m. ET/PT og er uden tvivl den mest betydningsfulde kvindeboksebegivenhed i historien (Klikhttps://s.sho.com/2UVWXtE for at se hele interviewet).

Shields talte om hendes foragt for Hammer. "Jeg vil beholde det 100 procent professionel," hun sagde. "Jeg kan ikke lide hende som person, men det betyder ikke noget. Jeg vil gerne slå hende godt. Hun er bare sur, fordi jeg er mere ond over, at hende og jeg er bedre end hende. Jeg er GLOAT. Den største dame nogensinde. Jeg kæmper mod enhver person, som de siger, jeg ikke kan slå. Jeg vil samle min division. Jeg vil være den ubestridte mester, og ingen vil være i stand til at sige andet."

Olympic Medal Winner Nico Hernandez Dominates Mexico’s Victor Trejo Garcia in UFC Fight Pass Main Event from Mulvane, Kansas

Februar 16, 2019 FNU47 Efterlad en kommentar

Fighting in the main event of a special two-hour live stream on UFC Fight Pass and in front of an adoring crowd of fans at the Kansas Star Casino in Mulvane, Kansas, hometown favorite and US Olympic bronze medal winner Nico Hernandez (7-0, 4 KOS) won his eight-round flyweight showdown by unanimous decision over a determined but out-gunned Victor Trejo Garcia of Mexico City, Mexico (16-10-1, 8 KOS).

It was a good “learning” fight for Hernandez, as Garcia never threatened to win, but hung tough against the superior firepower to keep things entertaining throughout. De dommernes scoringer var 79-73, 80-72 og 80-72. Hernandez appears to be progressing well in the professional game. He was sitting down on his punches well and picking spots for his punishing combinations like a veteran.

“I was feeling really good in there,sagde Hernandez, post-kamp. “I’ve been working on fighting southpaws and I did better than I did last time against a southpaw. It was awkward for me, but I’m proud of my progress and I just need to keep working. He was a tough opponent and I take my hat off to him. If anybody is ready to step up next, have them call my team.”

As always the case, Kazakhstani buzzsaw Bakhtiyar “Bakha Bullet” Eyubov (14-0-1, 12 KOS) came out looking for a brawl and this time found a willing participant in Monterrey, Mexico’s Jose Luis “La Boa” Rodriguez (25-12-1, 13 KOS).

Fighting in the middle UFC Fight Pass bout, the two super lightweights did not disappoint, going to old-school inside warfare for eight exciting rounds. The entertaining Eyubov was the much more active fighter. He worked the body relentlessly while mixing in powerful hooks with both hands upstairs. Rodriguez weathered the relentless storm and came back consistently with hard, accurate counters.

I sidste ende, the judges couldn’t decide who won and a majority draw was the verdict. One judge had it 77-75 for Rodriguez, a bit surprisingly, but was overruled by stereo scores of 76-76. Give both fighters credit, it was an entertaining slugfest and the Kansas fans loved it.

In the six-round super flyweight Fight Pass opener, Pushkino, Russia’s Elena Savelyeva (5-1, 4 KOS) nødvendige blot 36 seconds to dispatch Kansas City’s Tatiana Williams Kansas City (0-2). Williams was dancing and smiling before the action and came out looking to trade, but a taste of the former Olympian Saveleva’s power and she packed it in quickly.

Saveleva’s body work was ferocious as long as it lasted.

In the opening swing-bout of the night, a 10-round heavyweight bout didn’t last a full round, as knockout specialist Apti Davtaev (16-0-1, 15 KOS) of Kurchaloi, Rusland, made quick work of Belton, Missouri, veteran Richard Carmack 15-15-1, 12 KOS.

The two giants traded strong blows from the outset, with both landing. Davtaev, dog, had the better accuracy and chin. One of his long right hands put Carmack down on a delayed reaction and another finished things at 2:26. KO 1.

Bagefter, the stern Russian, who trains at Detroit’s world-famous Kronk Gym and is featured in upcoming Ring Magazine “New Faces” section as a “Heavyweight to Watch” for 2019, signalled he is ready for a step up in competition in his next fight.

The UFC Fight Pass commentating team consisted of *The Fight Network* veteran Cory Edrman and “2018 Female Boxer of the Year” and women’s world champion Claressa Shields, making her debut behind the microphone. The event was presented by Salita Promotions.

**On his rematch against Jeison Rosario:**
“I fought Jeison Rosario almost one year ago exactly. I have a lot of respect for him because we fought to a draw, but that being said, I felt I got the better of him. This not a six-round bout like our first match, this is a ten-round fight, and I know what needs to be done to further my career with my performance in this fight.”

**På hans seneste træningslejr:**
“I really like training with Henry Ramirez in Riverside, California. Henry is a cool guy who’s trained a lot of top fighters and knows what it takes to get the job done. In Fresno there were many distractions, so moving away from my family, my wife and kids, it is a sacrifice that I make to go to the next level. This is a job and I treat it like a job. I am doing everything possible to be a contender.”

**On his goals for 2019:**
“Jeg ønsker at forblive aktive, but my focus is solely on Rosario and getting that win. My hopes are to get in with a fighter with a big name. I’ve fought a lot of tough fighters, but not a lot of big-name fighters yet. I am hoping that by the end of this year I can fight one of those fighters’ people have seen on television for years.”

Santana (25-6-1, 12 KOS) needs an impressive victory over Ramos to remain a force in the welterweight division. The 31-year-old Santana of Santa Barbara, California is coming off a majority decision over the always-tough Felix Diaz and owns victories over then unbeaten fighters Eddie Gomez and Kendal Mena.
