Isto é o que os participantes no xantar tiveron que dicir o venres no xantar de Watty's en The Flats en Beverly Hills, que contou cun convidado especial no ex campión do mundo de dúas divisións Danny García:

 

Dominic Breazeale, WBC núm. 1 Challenger de peso pesado

 

 

 

“Estiven constantemente no ximnasio. O meu adestrador Manny Robles fai un gran traballo para manterme afiado. Asegúrase de que estou vendo a outros rapaces xogar e aprender novas ferramentas.

 

 

 

“Traballei moito para chegar á cima e fíxeno levando a loita cada vez. Agardei esta oportunidade e o meu momento é agora.

 

 

 

“Carlos Negron é un gran loitador para o que estarei preparado. A xente quere ver intercambios e iso é o que pretendo. Vou darlle un gran espectáculo aos afeccionados e levar a casa unha vitoria.

 

 

 

“Sei que son un aspirante na división de peso pesado. Quedei curto contra Anthony Joshua, pero agora teño unha fermosa oportunidade de ir tras o título do CMB. Non deixo que ninguén se interpoña no meu camiño.

 

 

 

“O meu obxectivo era non estar no campamento intentando poñerse en forma. Vexo demasiado diso. Así que asegúrese de que xa chegaba o momento de centrarme nesta loita, que xa estaba a loitar contra o peso. Síntome moi ben agora mesmo e vexo a diferenza.

 

 

 

“Estou ansioso por esta gran loita en FOX e FOX Deportes. Levo moito tempo chegando para volver ao ring e este é un gran escenario para facelo.

 

 

 

“O meu foco principal é nesta loita e conseguir a oportunidade de título. Estoume preparando para Carlos Negron coma se fose Deontay Wilder. Estaría un pouco molesto se Tyson Fury gaña porque realmente quero enfrontarme a Wilder.

 

 

 

“O meu plan é gañar en decembro 22 e a próxima vez pelexo, ese cinto verde estará en liña. Estou preparado para este tiro no cinto polo que traballei.”

 

MANNY ROBLES, Adestrador de Breazeale

 

 

 

“Dominic está realmente preparado para esta loita. Estará preparado porque é un loitador extremadamente traballador. O seu traballo de forza e acondicionamento estivo moi concentrado e pensamos que se vai ver nesta loita.

 

 

 

“Tomámonos esta loita moi en serio, como facemos cada loita. Este é un dos seus mellores campamentos que tivemos xuntos. Ata agora as cousas van moi ben. Non só digo iso. Realmente creo que verás un Dominic mellor que nunca.

 

 

 

“Estamos traballando en moitas cousas diferentes – velocidade, footwork, resistencia. Entendemos que temos un bo boxeador diante. Está preparado para a tarefa. Dominic será xenial. Espere fogos de artificio o 22 de decembro.”

 

BRITANY GOOSSEN BROWN, Vicepresidente de Promocións TGB

 

 

 

“Este vai ser un gran partido de peso pesado en decembro 22 en Brooklyn. Dominic Breazeale sempre está en pelexas de acción e sabe que ten que gañar con estilo para conseguir outra oportunidade no campionato mundial de peso pesado..

 

 

 

“Breazeale é o retador obrigatorio para o Deontay Wilder vs. Gañador de Tyson Fury, pero non pode mirar máis alá do experimentado olímpico portorriqueño Carlos Negron. Esta loita vai ser unha boa forma de comezar a transmisión de FOX e FOX Deportes.”

Namus, nicknamed El Bombon Asesino, has been IBF champion since 2017, when she defeated Argentina’s Yamila Esther Reynoso for the vacant title. She has since defended her belt once, against her compatriot, Katia Alvarino.

 

 

“En primeiro lugar,” Dicaire dito, “I must say that I feel privileged to have the opportunity to box for the world championship for the first time here in Quebec. This fight represents years of effort, sacrificio, perseverance and to live that moment before those who supported me during this tumultuous journey is indescribable for me.

 

 

 

My preparation for this fight is already well underway and I must admit that the signature of Namus has just added an additional motivation for the last steps of my camp. Así, coidar! I cannot wait to be in the ring and touch this belt!”

 

 

 

Marie-Eve is in a good position to be a star in the history of Canadian boxing. She will not have a second chance to leave a good first impression,” added GYM’s vice president of operations and recruitment, Bernard Barré.

With Brisoce manning the corner, Carto sees himself getting better with each fight in 2019.

 

 

 

I can definitely see myself fighting for a regional title in 2019, but I am still earning, so there is no rush. With being with Billy, I would like to go out to a training camp with one of the champions to help them get ready for a big, which will help me even more.

 

 

 

I just want to thank Billy as well as my brother Frankie who has helped me a lot with the training. My father who helps with all the tickets and ticket requests. I also had some great sparring with a Romuel Cruz. I am ready for a great fight.

TYSON FURY DISCUSSES CRUSHING DOWNWARD SPIRAL AND CAREER COMEBACK IN EMOTIONAL SIT-DOWN INTERVIEW WITH MAURO RANALLO

 

Lineal Heavyweight Champion opens up ahead of his fight against Deontay Wilder December 1 en SHOWTIME PPV®.

If mental illness can bring someone as big as me, as strong as me… to my knees, then it can bring anybody to their knees” – Fury

Catch the full interview: https://s.sho.com/2OmqAAq

O QUE: Lineal heavyweight champion Tyson Fury opened up to SHOWTIME Sports® locutor Mauro Ranallo about his years-long struggle with mental health in what Ranallo deemed the most important interview of his career. The two sat down in Big Bear, California where Fury has been training for his December 1 showdown against WBC Heavyweight World Champion Deontay Wilder en directo na canle Showtime PPV®.

 

 

Furia, who shocked the world in 2015 with a unanimous decision victory over former world champion Wladimir Klitschko, details his swift rise to the upper echelon of the heavyweight division, all while battling crippling depression and anxiety that diminished his love of the sport. He recounts his apathy toward boxing leading up to the Klitschko fight and the downward spiral he endured following his historic win.

 

 

Following his win over Klitschko, Fury would fail to face his mandatory challengers and attempted to combat his mental struggles with alcohol and drugs, eventually ballooning to 400 libras. The self-proclaimed “Gypsy King” hit a turning point in October of 2017, when he began to seek help for depression and anxiety and was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, which Ranallo also suffers from.

 

 

Ranallo’s battle with mental illness was recently chronicled in the SHOWTIME documentary BIPOLAR ROCK ‘N’ ROLLER, where the combat sports announcer showcases his struggles and advocates for the shattering of stigmas surrounding mental illness. Like Ranallo, Fury aims to raise awareness of his own struggles and encourage others to seek help.

 

 

“It was like having a fight in my own mind,” Fury said. "[Mental illness] is a silent killer. It is almost like carbon monoxide poisoning because you can’t see it. My calling card is to spread the word on mental health.”

 

 

Fury’s journey back to stardom began with back-to-back wins in his first two fights this past summer. He knocked out Sefer Seferi in June of 2018, and followed suit with a unanimous decision win over Francesco Pianeta in August. His August victory culminated with an in-ring confrontation with Wilder, where the two announced their upcoming heavyweight blockbuster fight.

 

 

The heavyweight showdown headlines the December 1 Showtime PPV en directo do Staples Center en Los Angeles (9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT). Wilder, who has knocked out all seven challengers of his title, will attempt to make his eighth WBC Heavyweight defense. In the third fight of his comeback, Fury has the opportunity to become a two-time heavyweight world champion.

Isiah Seldon ready for undefeated middleweight Tyler Howard on November 16th in Oklahoma City

Atlantic City, NJ (Novembro 1, 2018)Middleweight Isiah Seldon is getting ready for his biggest fight of his career when he takes on undefeated Tyler Howard in a bout scheduled for eight-round on November 16th at The Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City.

 

 

 

O ataque, which is promoted by Top Rank, will be streamed live on ESPN+.

 

 

 

The main event will see WBO Junior Welterweight champion Maurice Hooker defending against Alex Saucedo.

 

 

 

Seldon (12-1-1, 4 Kos) has been training in Atlantic City under the watchful eye of Bill Johnson.

 

 

 

I am looking forward to this great opportunity,” said Seldon. “I have been longing for an opportunity to take on a fighter such as Howard as a win will take my career to the next level.

 

 

 

Team Seldon, has been working diligently with longtime manager Jim Kurtz very excited about the opportunity that Seldon has in front of him.

 

 

 

It doesn’t get any bigger than fighting on a Top Rank show with an explosive main event between Hooker and Saucedo. The staff at Top Rank has been top notch. I am really excited for Isiah to get this opportunity to display his talents on a big stage. Myself and co-manager Joe Thompson are convinced Isiah is ready to shine on November 16th and it can’t get here fast enough,” said Kurtz, who has managed Seldon from day one.

 

 

 

Kurtz also managed Seldon’s father, WBA Heavyweight champion, Bruce Seldon.

 

 

 

Isiah has reunited with his original trainer Bill Johnson and they haven’t skipped a beat. This is the first time Isiah has had a full fledged training camp. We haven’t left any stone unturned in preparation for this fight. Isiah’s conditioning is at a point that I have never seen with him before. He is getting great sparring and his improvement working with Bill in preparation for this fight has been incredible. He is ready to show the world a new and improved Isiah Seldon. He has a large legacy to follow being the son of former WBA Heavyweight Champion Bruce Seldon but Isiah is determined to make his own mark on the sport of boxing.

 

 

 

He has always had power in both hands, scoring knockdown in almost every fight, but now he is learning to remain calm and finish guys instead of getting overly excited and letting them off the hook. He is punching harder than ever before, putting his punches together and his boxing ability has reached a level where he can control the pace of the fight. We have taken it slow with Isiah considering he didn’t have any amateur fights but we are now at the point where he is ready to make his mark on the Middleweight division.

 

 

 

We know Tyler Howard is a good undefeated fighter. He had a good amateur career, comes from a family with a boxing background, and has a solid management team who have done a great job with him. On November 16th we expect a tough fight with some fireworks but we are confident Isiah will emerge victorious and this will lead us to bigger and better opportunities.

New WBA Middleweight Champion Rob Brant Basking in the Glow, but Ready for ‘Next Assignment’

Brand-new WBA World Middleweight Champion Rob “Bravo” Brant says he goes everywhere with his new best friend. “The belt hasn’t left my side since they handed it to me,” laughs the personable new champion from Saint Paul, Minnesota.

 

 

 

28-year-old Brant (24-1, 16 Kos) says he went into his main-event showdown with then champion Ryota Murata (14-2, 11 Kos), last Saturday night at the Park MGM in Las Vegas (and live on ESPN+), unaware he was such a heavy underdog.

 

 

 

“I really did go into it very confident I would win, just off the preparations we did,” said Brant, who was having his first fight with former world champion Eddie Mustafa Muhammad as his trainer. “I tried to stay away from news when I was in training, so I had no idea how big of an underdog I was. We had a post-fight press conference and that was when I found out. When reporters were asking about it. I had no idea. It wouldn’t have deterred me anyway if I had known.”

 

 

 

Despite the doubts of the bookmakers, Brant cruised to a lopsided 12-round unanimous decision over 2012 Olympic gold medalist Murata, with two judges giving him all but one round, the other all but two. Brant busted up the now ex-champion with a piston-like jab and peppered him with combinations throughout what turned out to be a surprisingly dominant performance.

 

 

 

According to CompuBox statistics, Brant landed 356 de 1,262 socos (28 por cento) while Murata connected with just 180 de 774 (23 por cento).

 

 

 

“As a pro, he hasn’t seen what I gave him,” explained Brant. We knew he had a hard time with hand speed and jabs. He locks up when punches are being thrown, so we made sure we kept him backing up and worried about the jab and punches in general. The more he thinks about my shots, the less he throws. We knew we’d be able to keep him on his back foot. Eddie Mustafa is very strict on letting the hands go. We were big on the cardio in training and keeping the punch rate high. And when you’re keeping the jab out there all the time, other shots open up.”

 

 

 

Brant says at fight’s end, he wasn’t worried about the decision going his way.

 

 

 

“I’ve always felt that judges’ decisions are out of my hands. I was nervous about it, you don’t know until they announce your name, but I knew I had done what I felt was my best work. I had a great sense of pride and relief knowing I put it all out there and did everything possible to win. But now that I have won, it’s kind of like having giant weight lifted off my shoulders. It’s definitely my biggest accomplishment ever, winning in Vegas against a former Olympic gold medallist. It’s everything I ever worked for. It was the best feeling in the world. I knew how much I worked for that. Boxing gives back what you put into it and I put my everything into it.”

 

 

 

Although Brant and promoters GCP reportedly agreed to a rematch before the fight, the new champion says he’s not sure the now ex-champion wants it.

 

 

 

“All the talk of a rematch has been from his promoters. I haven’t heard him say anything about it. He might be a little discouraged right now. I’m not saying he won’t be able to come back, but I don’t think he wants it right now. I’ll just go on to bigger and better in the division. Once you win a title, there are no more easy fights. Until you are the undisputed king, you’re always taking steps up in class in every fight.”

 

 

 

Brant says he took a week off but is now back in the gym and ready for what comes next.

 

 

 

“I’m just waiting for the next assignment to work toward. I want to know who my next opponent is as soon as possible, so I can go to sleep at night thinking of what I’m going to do. Watching film and looking for flaws and things I can exploit. That’s when I‘m really the most comfortable. When I have an assignment. It’ll be a big name eventually. I’m there now. So I’m just waiting to see who is next for me to spend all my time watching that person.”

 

 

 

Brant gives a big piece of the credit for his upset victory to the only man to ever beat him. O pasado mes de outubro, he stepped up in weight to participate in the World Boxing Super Series as a super middleweight and lost a one-sided decision to former light heavyweight champion Juergen Braehmer in Germany.

 

 

 

“The thought of what happened against Braehmer was always in the background. That’s what really motivated me to be the best I could in this fight. I knew I was better than I was in that fight. I had to prove it by doing what I’m capable of. The loss to Braehmer will be in the back of my mind forever. I won’t let anyone else do that to me again. I will never forget that loss and I’ve been a better fighter from that point forward.”

PHILADELPHIA, PENN. / Laranxa, Califa. (Outubro. 29, 2018) – The fast-rising Michael Dutchover (11-0, 8 Kos), with four solid wins on the year, aims to close out 2018 with another victory on Venres, Novembro. 16, do Doubletree Hotel en Ontario, Califa.

 

 

 

Dutchover, que completará 21 the day before the event, will fight veteran and former world title challenger Daulis Prescott (31-9, 24 Kos) in the 8-round main event of Thompson Boxing’s Locked nLoadedseason finale.

 

 

 

Dutchover, a junior lightweight fighting out of Midland, Tex., has had a breakout year of sorts with his recent display of power punching. His last three wins have come by way of knockout, including a sensational second round, one-punch destruction of Sergio Martinez in July.

 

 

 

Antes diso, the West Texas warrior, que adestra en Los Angeles, removed Mike Fowler in three rounds. Two months ago in September, Dutchover stopped Bergman Aguilar in the fifth.

 

 

 

Dutchover, con todo, understands the Colombian-born Prescott poses a far more serious challenge than any other foe he has faced this year, or in his young career.

 

 

 

This year was all about elevating my level of competition,” said Dutchover, who is promoted by industry veterans Banner Promotions and Thompson Boxing .”Prescott is battle tested and will be ready to fight. I love a challenge and I’m embracing it.

 

 

 

Dutchover’s confidence is a direct result of the high-level sparring he receives on a routine basis from the many top-notch gyms in the Los Angeles area.

 

 

 

I’ve been in with some of the top names in the sport and they all teach me something different,” Dutchover said.Danny Roman, Oscar Valdez and Jessie Magdaleno are a few that come to mind. They are incredible boxers and good people too. I’m fortunate to have met them this early in my career.

The livestream starts at 8:00 p.m. PT / 11:00 p.m. ET with Beto Duran as the blow-by-blow announcer and Josesito Lopez providing expert, color commentary.
