“These are the type of fights that are going to bring boxing back to where it used to be.” – Sugar Ray Leonard

SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on CBS, presented by Premier Boxing Champions,

Live in Primetime on CBS From Barclays Center in Brooklyn

NEW YORK (Bulan Maret 1, 2017) – Boxing Hall of Famer and former undisputed welterweight world champion Sugar Ray Leonard dan David Dinkins Jr., SHOWTIME Sports Senior Vice President and Executive Producer, hosted a media conference call di hari Rabu to discuss Leonard joining the CBS broadcast team for Sabtu welterweight unification between undefeated champions Keith Thurman and Danny Garcia. Stephen Espinoza, Executive Vice President and General Manger, SHOWTIME Olahraga, began the call with some opening remarks.

 

The SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on CBS, presented by Premier Boxing Champions, broadcast will air live on CBS from 9-11 p.m. DAN/6-8 p.m. PT from Barclays Center in Brooklyn, rumah dari BROOKLYN BOXING ™. The broadcast is presented by Premier Boxing Champions and produced by SHOWTIME Sports® for CBS Television, both divisions of the CBS Corporation.

 

Leonard will join the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING broadcast team pada hari Sabtu alongside host Brian Custer, play-by-play voice Mauro Ranallo, International Boxing Hall of Fame analyst Al Bernstein and Sports Emmy® Award-winning reporter Jim Gray.

 

A five-division titlist and one of the most decorated boxers of all-time, Leonard brings unique perspective to the broadcast booth having been in a similar situation to Thurman and Garcia more than 35 bertahun-tahun lalu. Garcia, the WBC 147-pound titleholder, and Thurman, his WBA counterpart, will unify the exact same titles that Leonard (WBC) and fellow Hall of Famer Thomas Hearns (WBA) unified in their classic 1981 Fight of the Year.

 

Leonard made his professional boxing debut on CBS in 1977, less than one year after he won gold at the ‘76 Olympics in Montreal as part of what is considered the greatest American boxing team in Olympic history. Itu Bulan Maret 4 event will reunite Leonard with former CBS producer and current SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING Executive Producer Dinkins Jr.

 

Below is what the principals said Hari Rabu on the conference call:

 

GULA RAY LEONARD

 

“I was telling David [Dinkins] hari ini, this is the perfect matchup. Maksudku, you have two incredible fighters, each one of them with their own style and confidence with Keith and Danny. What also raises an eye is the unification. That’s big time for any fighter. And if these fighters can live up to their expectations, I think it’s going to be a home run, without question.

 

“These are the type of fights that are going to bring boxing back to where it used to be. It’s going to require these type of fights, these type of individuals, these type of athletes, these type of potential super stars, to really change and make boxing what it used to be.”

 

On the importance of having these types of fights on network television and what it takes to bring the sport back to what it used to be…

“These two young men, these two champions, these undefeated fighters, they fit the mold. I talk to people all of the time about what fights they want to see and this is a fight that has star-quality to it.”

 

On the advantages of each fighter…

“I look at Keith, and I’ve been watching, over and over, tapes of his previous fight. Lagi, each of them bring something to the table. Keith Thurman, seems to me, a little more fundamentally sound than Danny Garcia. But Danny Garcia, has a neutralizer. One thing I think is a big factor for the actual fight itself, is that both guys are great champs and both of them could take punches. Jadi, Saya tidak tahu. Put it this way, I wouldn’t bet my house.

 

“I do favor Thurman because he just seems to be a little bit more poised and collected. He just seems to be that kind of guy. Pertama-tama, he would never give up. Nor would Danny. But I just lean… it’s just my gut that tells me that Keith is a little bit more solid than Danny.”

 

On Danny Garcia…

“He’s just a guy that has that internal fortitude. He has heart, big heart. And he doesn’t give in. I think he’s the kind of fighter, you know where people short-change him. But I look at him and he’s one of those fighters that, I don’t train – I never train at all – but he’s the kind of fighter that I would enjoy training. Because he deserves to be up there.”

 

On the importance of facing the best opponents possible…

“That’s extremely important. Untung Saja, I was in an era where there were just a lot of guys out there who were so talented. If given the chance they would prove to be champions.

 

“I always thought that we had to continue to raise the bar as a fighter, as a champion, and continue to fight better and better competition. When I was fighting, I swear, I wanted to be the underdog -psychologically, spiritually and mentally, if I wasn’t challenged, if I wasn’t considered somewhat of an underdog, I couldn’t perform the way I normally would. It’s what would get me going.

 

“I have said this a number of times: This fight is going to be bigger and better than what we anticipate because of what is at stake.

 

“The advantage [untukku] was the television network exposure, without question. I loved that. It pumped me up because I loved the exposure. I loved the attention. I loved the fights and that’s what also helped me to be the fighter that I became.

 

On what it’s like being ringside and broadcasting a unification welterweight fight much like the fights and titles he’s fought for…

“It is an out-of-body experience. It’s déjà vu. Like holy, Saya 60. It’s a kind of thing that is so special and it’s so rare of a unification it seems like. It speaks volumes to me as far as the significance of it. And these guys, Keith and Danny, they know it. They realize it.”

 

DAVID DINKINS JR.

 

“When we were discussing the upcoming Thurman-Garcia fight in our senior staff meeting, many of us longtime fight fans thought about Ray’s first fight with Thomas Hearns and the many parallels there with Danny Garcia and Keith Thurman. You have two undefeated fighters and two titlists who have been on a path toward each other since Danny moved up from being a unified champion at super lightweight and moved into the welterweight ranks and gained a world title at 147 pon.

 

“Ray and Tommy were two stars who it just seemed inevitable that they would fight. We feel the same way about Keith and Danny. You have two undefeated champions and it’s inevitable that they would meet and declare who would be the No. 1 tempur di 147 pon.

 

“I’m so happy that Ray can join us for this telecast and he and I have discussed over the past few days the many similarities between his circumstance during the Golden Era of Boxing when he had rivals like [Roberto] Duran, Hearns and [Wilfred] Benitez at 147 pon.

 

“To make the situation even sweeter it reunites myself and Ray after we had worked together years ago at CBS. He along with Tim Ryan dan Gil Clancy formed a very entertaining announce team. Ray was in and out of retirement at that point. So his full-time, part-time job up at CBS was terrific fun. We got to see some great fights and work together. And now he joins Mauro Ranallo and Al Bernstein, who is also a Hall of Famer just like Ray is, ringside this Sabtu mendatang. It’s just incredible great fortune that Ray was available to join us and be a significant contributor pada hari Sabtu."

 

STEPHEN Espinoza, Executive Vice President dan General Manager, SHOWTIME Olahraga

 

“SHOWTIME continues to deliver the strongest lineup of any network in boxing. We are delivering the biggest and most meaningful fights and delivering to the largest possible audience. With none on pay-per-view.

 

“Sabtu ini SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING will present the most anticipated fight of the year live on America’s most watched network, CBS. Danny Garcia versus Keith Thurman is without question the best fighting the best. They are two undefeated champions with a combined record of 60 wins and zero losses and squaring off in the prime of their careers to determine who the top dog is in boxing’s marquee division.

 

“SHOWTIME has really made it our mission to televise the top-rated champions against the top-rated challengers in boxing’s most compelling weight classes.

 

“The fans have taken note, and the momentum continues to rise. Adrien Broner dan Adrian Granados fought a close fight two weeks ago that was our most watched main event dalam dua tahun.

 

“This is just the second primetime fight on CBS in nearly 40 years since Ali-Spinks in 1978. We are grateful to our colleagues at CBS who are helping to deliver this important event for boxing. It is critical that we put our best foot forward in a very hyper competitive television market, and that is certainly what we are doing Hari Sabtu night on CBS.”

Encore Presentation At 8 P.m. DAN/PT On SHOWTIME EXTREME®

NEW YORK (Bulan Maret 29, 2016) - The SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL presentation of the IBF Heavyweight World Championship between undefeated American titlist Charles Martin and fellow unbeaten British Olympic Gold Medalist Anthony Joshua will air live on SHOWTIME di 5 p.m. DAN/2 p.m. PT diHari Sabtu, Bulan April 9 dari The O2 di London.

An encore presentation will air later that evening on SHOWTIME EXTREME at 8 p.m. DAN/PT.

Itu SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL telecast will be hosted by Brian Custer with analysis from Al Bernstein dan Paulie Malignaggi. Coverage of the event will be provided by Sky Sports with the play-by-play call from Nick Halling, analysis from Jim Watt dan Carl Froch and post-fight interviews from Andy Scott.

The SHOWTIME telecast will include extensive highlights and analysis of the IBF Featherweight World Championship between defending titlist Lee Selby and American challenger Eric Hunter.

(EDITORS NOTE: Due to a change in the bout order at The O2 in London, SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL is unable to provide live coverage of this bout.)

Martin vs. Joshua is the third of four heavyweight title bouts in five months pada SHOWTIME (see details below). The scheduled 12-round matchup is the toughest test to date for both Martin (23-0-1, 21 Biaya) and Joshua (15-0, 15 Biaya), two bombers who boast a combined 94 percent knockout ratio.

Selby (22-1, 8 Biaya) vs. Pemburu (21-3, 11 Biaya) is the second of five scheduled featherweight title bouts in 2016 (details below), a lineup showcasing many of the world’s best 126-pounders aiming to unifying one of boxing’s deepest divisions.

“The heavyweight division is experiencing an incredible resurgence, and the featherweight division is rife with compelling matchups,"Kata Stephen Espinoza, Executive Vice President & General Manager of SHOWTIME Sports. “Martin vs. Joshua is a can’t-miss showdown between a newly minted American champion and one of the sport’s fastest-rising stars. And Selby vs. Hunter has major implications in the talent-rich division. We are proud to work with Matchroom Sport to deliver these pivotal matchups to the U.S. audience.”

“I’m the Heavyweight Champion of the World, and that’s why I have no problem traveling to England for my first title defense,” Martin said. “I only want to fight the best, and I plan on knocking Anthony Joshua out and taking his fans and the belt back with me.”

“The O2 is going to be rocking on Bulan April 9 and the U.S. fans are in for a treat when they see Charles and I clash,” Joshua said. “Credit to him for coming over after calling me out, but he doesn’t know what he’s getting himself in for. I am going to show all my power, all my speed and all my accuracy to put on the best display of my life and become the Heavyweight Champion of the World by knocking him out. I’m delighted that fans in the U.S. will be able to witness it.”

“After a great experience in my first defense in Arizona against Fernando Montiel, it’s nice to be back in front of my home fans at The O2 in London,” Selby said. “It’s going to be a crazy atmosphere with a 20,000 person sold-out arena. Hunter has talked a lot of trash and I’m looking forward to showing him what it’s like at the world championship level. He’s in for a shock.”

“He’s got a belt I want, and that’s all I know about him,” Hunter said. “My team knows more about him than I do. It’s their job to come up with a game plan. My job is train and get ready to perform my best. I can adjust to anything in the ring. I’m just here at the gym working my butt off to get the job done. I’m going to be more focused than I ever have been for this fight.”

The 6-foot-5 Martin won the IBF championship on Jan. 16 pada saat Vyacheslav Glazkov suffered a knee injury in the third round of their vacant world title fight. In capturing the IBF belt, Martin, St. Louis, Mo., became just the sixth southpaw heavyweight champion in boxing history and the second current American heavyweight titlist.

While Martin has stopped his last 13 opponents and was the aggressor against Glazkov, the undefeated champ remains virtually untested. His first title defense and initial start outside the U.S., will take place at what is expected to be a pro-Joshua arena in London that sold out in just 90 detik. The 29-year-old Martin, who is trained by U.S. Olimpiade Henry Tillman in Big Bear, California., will be Joshua’s first professional southpaw opponent.

Joshua had a standout amateur career that culminated with an Olympic Gold Medal at super heavyweight in the 2012 Olympic Games in London. Since turning professional in July 2013, the 6-foot-6 Joshua has steadily climbed through the ranks.

One of boxing’s most promising prospects, Joshua is coming off consecutive victories over previously undefeated opponents. Dalam pertarungan terakhirnya, the 26-year-old was pushed past the third round for the first time in his career. Joshua defeated Dillian Whyte via seventh-round knockout on Desember. 12. Saat Ini, Joshua returns to The O2, the site of his professional debut and five of his 15 pertarungan profesional, in a bid to join Tyson Fury as the second current reigning British heavyweight champion.

Joshua is also looking to become the sixth super heavyweight Olympic Gold Medalist to win a heavyweight world title. If successful, he will join an impressive group that includes George Foreman, Joe Frazier, Lennox Lewis danWladimir Klitschko.

Lahir di Barry, Wales, Selby won his world title with a dominant technical decision over previously undefeated Evgeny Gradovich di bulan Mei 2015. The slick boxer made his first title defense in his U.S. debut last October, capturing a unanimous decision over former three-division champ Fernando Montiel.

The 29-year-old owns a slew of victories over previously unblemished fighters including Joel Brunker, Ryan Walsh, Viorel Simon, Corey McConnell danStephen Smith. Dia telah memenangkan 18 straight since the lone blemish of his career, and six of his last eight victories came over previously undefeated opponents.

Pemburu, who will take a four-fight win streak into his initial start outside the U.S., has always possessed an abundance of talent. Sebelum menjadi profesional, the Philadelphia native was an outstanding amateur and an alternate on the U.S. Tim Olimpiade.

The fast-handed 29-year-old has scored some solid victories as a pro, and his biggest enemy in a nine-year career has been himself – the switch-hitter doesn’t always keep his composure in check and allows his emotions get the best of him. Two of Hunter’s three losses came by disqualification, the last coming via DQ in 2013 terhadap Mike Oliver for hitting at the break. The other came againstLuis Franco di 2010, when he had a point deducted in the second and was DQ’d in the eighth after repeated low blows.

If Hunter can keep his hot head from getting him in trouble, he’s confident he can upset Selby and join Leo Santa Cruz dan Gary Russell Jr. as U.S.-born world champion at 126 pon.

Dalam perayaan persaingan terbaik di SHOWTIME, lihat di bawah untuk kolom khusus dari analis ahli SHOWTIME Sports dan sejarawan tinju Steve Farhood.

 

LEGENDS

Oleh Steve Farhood

 

Tinju tanpa legenda akan seperti agama tanpa orang suci.

Tidak ada formula bagi seorang petarung untuk maju dari bintang menjadi superstar menjadi legenda. Prosesnya tergantung waktu, keadaan, dan terkadang hanya satu atau dua poin pada juri’ kartu-kartu.

Dan oh, ya: Ini membantu jika seorang pria benar-benar bisa bertarung.

Saat kita merayakan 30 tahun bertinju di SHOWTIME, kami fokus pada tema yang berbeda setiap bulan. Sepanjang Maret, temanya adalah Legenda.

Dalam 130 tahun dari John L. Sullivan ke Floyd Mayweather, tinju telah memberi kita apa yang olahraga lain tidak bisa berikan. Mempertimbangkan:

  • The Associated Press memilih Luis Firpo knockdown of Jack Dempsey sebagai momen olahraga terbesar di paruh pertama abad ke-20.
  • The Frazier-Ali "Fight Of The Century" in 1971 dengan mudah menjadi acara olahraga yang paling diantisipasi dalam sejarah.
  • Pertarungan Mayweather-Pacquiao tahun lalu menghasilkan lebih dari setengah miliar dolar — dalam satu malam!

Legenda dibuat oleh momen-momen besar … dan bagaimana mereka menanggapi momen-momen itu.

Pada SHOWTIME, kami telah menampilkan legenda selama tiga dekade. Berikut ini pandangan mereka yang akan berbagi sorotan di bulan Maret.

MARVIN HAGLER: Karena Vince Lombardi tidak mengatakannya dengan tepat, “Pengaturan waktu bukanlah segalanya, itu satu-satunya,Hagler seharusnya mengatakannya.

Hagler adalah petarung hebat jauh sebelum dia menjadi superstar, tapi tidak sampai dia melawan Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns, dan Sugar Ray Leonard (tiga dari enam pertarungan terakhir Hagler) bahwa Marvin menjadi Luar Biasa.

Satu penampilan Hagler di SHOWTIME, yang kebetulan merupakan pertarungan pertama yang disiarkan di jaringan (Bulan Maret 1986), adalah kemenangan terakhir dalam karirnya. Tak terkalahkan 10 tahun, Hagler telah membuktikan dirinya sebagai salah satu kelas menengah terbesar dalam sejarah. Dan sementara dapat diperdebatkan di belakang bahwa pada usia 31, petarung kerah biru pamungkas sedikit melewati masa jayanya, banyak dari apa yang membuat Hagler istimewa diperlihatkan selama pembelaannya yang kejam terhadap penantangnya yang tak terkalahkan dan ganas, John Mugabi.

Hampir tiga dekade setelah pensiun, Hagler tetap menjadi kelas menengah saat ini dengan 160 pon diukur.

GULA RAY LEONARD: Jika Hagler mekar terlambat, Leonard adalah seorang superstar sebelum dia melemparkan satu pukulan sebagai seorang profesional.

Kembali di pertengahan tahun 70-an, itulah senyuman yang magnetis, medali emas olimpiade, dan paparan berulang di televisi prime time bisa dilakukan untuk seorang pejuang muda.

Sungguh ironis bahwa Leonard pada awalnya dipandang oleh beberapa orang sebagai ciptaan media yang dimanjakan. Faktanya, dia sekuat petarung bertabur bintang di awal tahun 80-an. Lebih baik, dia tetap menjadi petarung terbaik yang pernah saya bahas 38 tahun di pukulan tinju.

Penampilan Leonard di SHOWTIME adalah pertarungan kedua dari belakang dalam karirnya. Dalam memilih untuk mengakhiri PHK panjang lainnya, Sugar Ray, 34, memilih peraih gelar kelas welter super berusia 23 tahun, Terry Norris sebagai lawannya. Leonard turun dari 160 untuk 154 pound dan bertarung di Madison Square Garden untuk pertama kalinya.

Pertarungan itu berfungsi sebagai pengingat bahwa setidaknya di dunia pra-Bernard Hopkins, tinju adalah permainan anak muda.

FELIX TRINIDAD: Hanya ada tiga pejuang Hispanik yang menjadi superstar di AS tanpa berbicara bahasa Inggris. Yang pertama adalah Roberto Duran dari Panama. Yang kedua adalah Julio Cesar Chavez dari Meksiko.

Yang ketiga adalah Trinidad Puerto Riko.

Motto Trinidad mungkin juga demikian, “Jika Anda tidak bisa dari Amerika, lalu kalahkan Amerika. ”

Pons klasik dengan senyuman pramuka dan kepribadian yang ramah penggemar, Trinidad membuat namanya dengan mengalahkan empat AS. Olympians, Pernell Whitaker, Oscar De La Hoya (meskipun dengan keputusan yang buruk), David Reid, dan Fernando Vargas.

Tambahan Pula, Whitaker, De La Hoya, dan Reid semuanya adalah peraih medali emas.

Pertarungan yang akan kita bahas Bulan Maret 17 pada SHO EXTREME, Trinidad vs.. Reid, adalah penampilan ke-14 Trinidad dan penampilan terakhirnya di SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING dan SHOWTIME bayar-per-tayang.

Dari kayo pemenang gelar kelas welternya Maurice Blocker di 1993 melalui pertahanannya melawan Mahenge Zulu masuk 1998, 13 dari Trinidad 14 pertarungan disiarkan pada SHOWTIME. Dua belas dari pertarungan itu adalah kemenangan KO.

Di mana Trinidad sejajar dengan Wilfredo Gomez, Miguel Cotto, Carlos Ortiz, Wilfred Benitez, dan legenda lainnya dari Puerto Rico masih bisa diperdebatkan. Apa yang tidak bisa dibantah adalah bahwa "Tito" menghasilkan kegembiraan yang sama seperti petarung di jamannya.

RICARDO LOPEZ: Apa yang lebih kecil: kemungkinan bahwa strawweight (105 pon) menjadi bintang televisi Amerika atau petarung itu sendiri?

Tidak pernah ada juara dunia kelas jerami Amerika (atau bobot minimum). Kami hanya tidak menumbuhkan pejuang sebesar itu. Faktanya, sampai kemunculan Lopez dari Meksiko di awal tahun 90-an, sebagian besar penggemar tinju Amerika tidak dapat mengidentifikasi satu pun kelas jerami jika dipersenjatai dengan peta dunia dan serangkaian peringkat WBC.

Lopez sangat lengkap, sangat dominan, sangat sempurna secara teknis, itu dari 1994 ke '99, dia adalah inti dari program tinju SHOWTIME. Dia berkelahi 13 pertarungan berturut-turut di SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING atau SHOWTIME Pay-Per-View, dan yang pertama 11 dari kontes itu adalah mempertahankan gelar kelas jerami.

Dan jika Anda berpikir orang-orang kecil tidak bisa meninju, dengan baik, ada beberapa kayo satu pukulan yang ditaburkan.

Lopez, yang pensiun dengan tanda 51-0-1, secara universal diakui sebagai yang terbaik sepanjang masa. Sayang sekali dia tidak pernah bertarung melawan Michael Carbajal dari Amerika di kelas terbang ringan. Apakah dia memenangkan pertarungan itu?, dia kemungkinan akan diakui sebagai salah satu dari dua atau tiga petarung Meksiko terhebat yang pernah ada.

Yang mengatakan banyak untuk seorang pejuang yang tidak pernah menghadapi lawan yang diakui oleh publik Amerika menonton.

BILLY JOE SAUNDERS DETHRONES ANDY LEE SATURDAY TO BECOME 12th CURRENT BRITISH WORLD CHAMPION ON SHO EXTREME® FROM MANCHESTER,ENGLAND

Tinggalkan komentar

NEW YORK (Desember. 19, 2015) – Billy Joe Saunders dethroned WBO Middleweight World Champion Andy Lee with a 12-round majority decision Saturday on SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL dari Manchester, Inggris.

 

Pertarungan, yang mencetak 115-111, 114-112 dan 113-113, will re-air tonight at 9 p.m. DAN/PT pada SHO EXTREME.

 

In a matchup of tactical southpaws, an explosive third round from Saunders (23-0, 12 Biaya) was the difference. The British challenger floored Lee twice – first with a big right hook and again with a counter right just 30 seconds later – and a dazed Lee somehow survived the 10-7 bulat. UTAMA VIDEO: http://s.sho.com/1OfibYe

 

The Irish Lee (34-3-1, 24 Biaya) fought his way back and was the more aggressive fighter in the championship rounds, but it wasn’t enough to make up for a slow start and the two knockdowns.

 

Dengan kemenangan tersebut, Saunders became the 12th current British world champion.

 

“I’m world champion,"Kata Saunders. “I beat a good champion today, a good sturdy champion. I used his power against him. When I was boxing he got a little bit careless and dropped his lead hand and I caught him with the hook.

 

“I’m not going to start running my mouth, but it was a good shot. With someone as fast as me you have to keep your hands up. I’m not the biggest puncher in the world, but I showed you there that I can punch.”

 

WBA kelas menengah Juara Dunia Daniel Jacobs, fresh off a first round knockout of Peter Quillin two weeks ago on SHOWTIME, was a guest analyst pada hari Sabtu dari New York.

 

“I thought he was going to be a big brawler, I thought he had better assets,” Jacobs said of Lee. “He didn’t do enough for me. He was too complacent and after the knockdown you didn’t see that sense of urgency that a fighter has to have on the comeback trail.

 

“All credit due to Billy Joe, but it wasn’t an impressive victory.”

 

After watching the fight, Jacobs wasn’t ready to commit to a unification showdown in 2016 with the winner.

 

“We’ll do whatever makes sense,” Jacobs said. “I think it’s time to sit-down and figure what makes sense. Obviously it’s a good time to be a middleweight champion.”

Here’s what Lee and Saunders had to say at their media workouts on Tuesday and Hari Senin, masing-masing:

 

ANDY LEE:

“I have a punch that can end a fight, lights out, in any given second.

 

“I won’t rely on the punch. I will look to dominate from the start with educated pressure.

 

“I’m feeling very dangerous at the moment.

 

“Saunders’ unbeaten record is a disadvantage. He’s always been in fights he’s expected to win and has been well managed by(Jujur) Warren.

 

“I’ve never lost a fight on points and I never will on points. If I’m down on the cards I will go out swinging in the last round.

 

“Saunders being a fellow traveler does add another layer, but at the end the day it’s about how good you are and he’s not good enough to beat me.”

 

BILLY JOE SAUNDERS:

“I’m ready to go for Hari Sabtu malam. This is the best camp that I’ve ever had. I’m prepared for the toughest test of my career, but I know that I’m in excellent shape to win this fight and become world champion.

 

“Andy Lee is a tough fighter – he’s proved that by becoming world champion and having the type of career he has had. But I’m undefeated and hungry and know that I’m on the brink of fulfilling a childhood dream. I’m not going to leave that ring without the title.

 

“Training in Spain allows me to lock myself away from all distractions and focus solely on the fight. It’s hard being away from home, but it’s all part of boxing. It’s been a long camp, a tough camp, but after that I know that I’m ready to go through hell to make sure that I’m successful come fight night.

 

“The middleweight division is one of the hottest around and I’m prepared to fight any of the other champions in there once I win the title.

 

"Danny Jacobs had a great win against Peter Quillin, and then there is Canelo (Alvarez) dan (Gennady) Golovkin. I know the importance of this fight for the division and I want my name to be among the very best. I’m taking it one step at a time, but I’m open to fight anyone.

 

“There has been no trash talk with Andy because we know what each person is about. We share a similar background and neither of us is going to take a back step.

 

“This is going to be a very exciting all-action fight because we’re going to leave it all in the ring. I know I have the skills to beat him and I intend to show the world why I’m among the best around.”

 

Saunders on fellow Brit Chris Eubank Jr.:

“The truth of the matter is that Eubank Jr. does not belong at the world level – he’s a phony. Ini sesederhana itu. I wasn’t impressed with his win over Gary O'Sullivan, who I’ve already beat. He thinks he can fool the public with a win like that, but he can’t.

 

“His aim now is to move up and fight the best guys in the world, but we saw what happened the last time he stepped up a notch and faced me: he was badly exposed. The same thing will happen with him if he fights someone like Danny Jacobs for the WBA title.

 

“You’re not the best middleweight in your own country and you want to fight a world champion and say you’re going to beat him? I think it’s a delusion and he thinks he’s greater than he actually is.

 

“Sooner rather than later he’s going to get exposed again as the fraud that he is. You can keep talking, but eventually you have to back it up in the ring against top-level fighters. He’s won his last fight and now he’s back talking (kata lontaran) again like he’s the best fighter in history.

 

“If he has the balls to fight again, which I doubt, I would happily hand him another beating, this time in even more convincing fashion.”
