Sosa battles Wilmer Rodriguez at The Kings Theatre

Queens, New York (Mars 9, 2018) – Undefeated welterweight Julian Sosa will be featured in his 1st main event demain night when he takes on once-beaten Wilmer Rodriguez at the Kings Theatre in Brooklyn, New York.

The eight-round bout will headline a Evander Holyfield Real Deal Boxing event.
Sosa is managed by El Matador Management.
Sosa, who will be fighting in front of his hometown fans in Brooklyn is very enthusiastic to be on the top of the bill.
“Learning that I was the main event gave me some extra motivation as I would down my camp,” Ledit Sosa, qui a un dossier de 10-0-1 avec 3 KO.
“Being that this is my 1st fight this year, It means more that I am headlining.”
“This has been my longest camp. I have been working very hard for seven weeks, and I am more than ready for Samedi.”
Sosa is just starting to round into professional career, and he feels the best is yet to come.
“It has been quite a journey . It took me a few fights to transition from amateurs to the professionals. I had never fought without headgear. It took me about four fights to get used that and some of the other little things that are different. I am now very comfortable and settled in as a professional.”
In Rodriguez, he is facing a tough veteran, qui a un dossier de 9-1, with his only loss coming to world champion Abner Mares.
“I have seen a few videos of him. He is a counter puncher with a “Philly Shell” defense. He stands in place, and he looks to counter.”
Sosa is looking to put on a show for his fans that he has not performed in front of since winning a four-round unanimous decision over Erick Martinez on 14 octobre au Barclays Center.
“I am sorry that it has been five months since my last fight. I need a break, I have been fighting a lot. I am back and I am ready to roll. This is my first eight-round bout, and I am the main event. This is a clean start of the year, and I am ready to open eyes.”

BROOKLYN (Mars 4, 2018) – Undefeated heavyweight world champion Deontay “Le Bomber Bronze” Wilder retained his WBC title in his seventh defense with a tenth round knockout over unbeaten challenger Luis “The Real King Kong” Ortiz in a thrilling back-and-forth SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING main event Saturday night from Barclays Center, la maison de BROOKLYN BOXE®.
Wilder (40-0, 39 KOs) not only survived the toughest test of his career but also finished the job in spectacular fashion by unleashing a ferocious 10e round assault on Ortiz (28-1, 24 KOs). Wilder floored the Cuban challenger twice in the round, forcing referee David Fields to stop the fight at2:05 de la ronde. Watch the knockout video ICI.
Oritz looked like he would dethrone Wilder in the seventh round, countering with a strong right hand that hurt the WBC heavyweight champion. Ortiz unleashed a barrage of punches against a stunned Wilder, who somehow managed to stay on his feet to close the round before being saved by the bell. Ortiz continued his assault on Wilder into the eighth round, who again managed to make it through the round.
In the ninth round, Wilder began to rebound as he knocked Ortiz off-balance with a straight right hand. America’s only reigning heavyweight champion was firmly back in the fight as he landed a strong combination on Ortiz to close the round, completely changing the momentum of the fight.
Both fighters came out strong at the start of the tenth round, landing simultaneous blows that made each fighter temporarily wobbly. But it was Wilder who capitalized on the moment, as the Alabama-native pounced on Ortiz, sending his opponent to the canvas for the second time of the night with a flurry of overhand right hands. A dazed Ortiz returned to his feet, but was unable to withstand a follow-up assault from a confident Wilder, who landed an uppercut that sent Ortiz to the canvas for the third and final time.
Following his third successful title defense at Barclays Center, an emotional Wilder spoke to SHOWTIME Sports reporter Jim Gray about the most difficult fight of his career.
“A true champion always finds a way to come back and that’s what I did ce soir,” Saïd Wilder. “Luis Ortiz is definitely a crafty guy. He put up a great fight. We knew we had to wear him down. I showed everyone I can take a punch.
“He was hitting me with those furious punches but they didn’t have sting on them. He was throwing combos that knocked me off balance. I just had to get my range back and my fundamentals back. And I was able to do that. I showed I was a true champion ce soir.”
A proud but disappointed Ortiz, who was on the brink of a sensational seventh round stoppage of Wilder before the bell rang, also spoke to Gray following the fight.
“It was a great fight and I performed well,” Ortiz said. “I thought I was up on the scorecard going into the tenth round, but it’s heavyweight boxing and you never know what’s going to happen.
“I almost had him and I think I would’ve if there were a few more seconds in the round.”
Wilder out landed Ortiz 98-87, although Ortiz held a slight advantage in landed power punches, 63-60.
In the co-featured event of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING, Jose Uzcategui (27-2, 23 KOs) vaincu Andre Dirrell (26-3, 16 KOs) via TKO two seconds into round nine, upon the request of Dirrell’s trainer, Virgil Hunter. La victoire, which makes Uzcategui the interim IBF Super Middleweight World Champion, puts the hard-hitting Venezuelan in position to fight for the super middleweight title that Caleb Truax earned via a majority decision over James DeGale in December.
Saturday night’s fight was a rematch of the hotly contested May 2017 bout, in which Uzcategui was disqualified for landing a punch after the bell sounded to end the eighth round. In the rematch, Uzcategui dominated the action from start to finish, using his powerful right hand to set the stage for the withering assault which led to Dirrell’s corner stopping the fight two seconds into round nine. Uzcategui out landed Dirrell 169-141 au total des coups, including a huge 112-51 discrepancy in power punches landed.
“I was a little surprised they stopped it in the ninth,” Saïd Uzcategui. “I had said it would be the third round that I would knock him out. It took a little longer, but it finally came.
“I think it was very clear in the first fight that I did my job. In the second fight I showed even more, so there’s going to be a lot of Uzcategui from now on.”
Dirrell, a native of Flint, Michigan, found Uzcategui’s length and aggression difficult to deal with.
“I’ve been in there with long fighters before, but he was especially long,” Saïd Dirrell. “I think I was a little heavier than I wanted to be ce soir, but that’s no excuse. Uzcategui did a great job.
“We knew we needed a knockout. The way it was going I needed to at least pick it up. I felt a little sluggish and he hit all the right shots. None of them really hurt, but he hit me where he was supposed to.”
In a world title fight featured on the undercard, Long Island de Alicia Napoléon (9-1, 5 KOs) won the Vacant Women’s WBA Super Middleweight world title with a dominant unanimous decision victory over Femke Hermans (6-1, 3 KOs).
“It’s hard to find words to describe this right now,” dit Napoléon. “It’s so surreal it’s almost like a dream. I’m just glad I did it. This is one down, but there’s many more to go. The goal is to get all the belts.”
Napoleon controlled the action with her power and superior athletic prowess and wobbled Hermans in the final round before earning the decision by scores of 99-91 et 98-92 deux fois.
“I think this means a lot for women’s boxing, not just that I won the belt, but where I was placed on this great card,” dit Napoléon. “People are going to continue to see and hear more and more from women boxers.”

FLASH CITATIONS

Deontay Wilder:

“I’m going to let the world know that the weight don’t mean a thing; it’s all mental at the end of the day. Like I’ve said, I’d rather be the part than look the part. I’ve said many a time that I put these guys on their ass, and that’s what I come to do Samedi nuit. Over and over again all my guys have out-weighed me. So that’s nothing compared to where I came from, and nothing compared to where I’m going come Samedi nuit. You’re all in for a treat and I can’t wait.

 

“On paper he’s looked good against the opposition he’s faced, but he’s never faced a Bronze Bomber; he’s never faced a guy who has more killer instinct than him. He’s never faced a guy who wants to just rip his head off, and I do mean rip his head off!

 

“I am the best and I’m ready to show Samedi night that I’m the best in the world.”

 

LUIS ORTIZ:

 

 

“Our training camp was prepared for whatever Deontay Wilder was going to bring into the ring, whether it was a runner, or a puncher – whatever he wants to do we have trained for it so there’s no problem.

 

 

“You have to adapt and make changes come fight night, and I’m prepared to do that and I’m experienced to do that. I’ve been waiting my whole career to do this as a pro and as an amateur this is something I never dreamed I would do, and I’m not losing demain."

 

 

Andre Dirrell:

 

 

“I just saw a piece of meat, and I’m hungry.

 

 

“The IBF demanded this. There were two wrongs from the last fight and I was hit after the bell, and he was hit after the bell. The IBF wanted to right that wrong and this is the only way to do so. He deserves this shot and I deserve this shot. It’s going to be a better fight this time around.

 

 

“It’s all about what [new trainer] Virgil [Chasseur] has done with my mind. The ability is there, as we all know. We’ve perfected that. And we’ve changed the mind this time, aussi.

 

 

“We all know that Jose Uzcategui is a fighter in full; that boy can throw, but that’s just not going to be enough come fight night.”

 

 

JOSE UZCATEGUI:

 

 

“The ref will not have to intervene; I’ll knock him out quicker this time.”

 

 

“Maybe if Virgil Hunter gets in the ring too because that’s the only way they’re going to win is if the corner gets in the rings. Because that’s the only way they will get the win.”

Voici ce que les participants avaient à dire Jeudi:
Deontay Wilder
“The reason I wanted this fight is not only do I think Ortiz is one of the best technical fighters in the division, but he’s the boogeyman that everyone is running from. Champions have avoided him and I’ve always said I was the best and this is my chance to prove it.
“This result isn’t up to anyone but myself. Every time I get under the bright lights, I give the fans what they want to see. This is the best versus the best and that’s what boxing deserves.
“I had all the excuses in the world to run away from this fight after he failed the test. There are a lot of good, up-and-coming heavyweights out there, but I wasn’t interested in them. This fight is how I prove that I’m the baddest man on the planet.
“Sur Mars 3, with all the personal things put aside, it’s going to be an honor to fight Luis Ortiz, man to man and father to father. I know that family is his motivation, just like it is for me, and that’s why I blessed him with this opportunity.
“The exciting thing about Saturday night is for everyone to see what I’m capable of doing. Luis Ortiz is determined to get my WBC belt. This is my seventh defense of my title and I’ve enjoyed every one. It’s a lot of responsibility and I take it seriously. You’ll all see Samedi night why I’ve said the things I’ve said.
“Everyone knows what I’m expecting Samedi nuit. I can’t say it enough. I have knocked every opponent out for a reason. I plan on continuing my knockout streak. That’s what I do and that’s what I’m best at.
“This is the best fight right here in boxing that can be made. Il ne peut pas faire mieux que cela Samedi nuit. You have to be here in person, because you won’t want to miss anything. You never know what you’ll see, mais Samedi night will be bombs away.”
LUIS ORTIZ
“I never say anything bad about fighters because inside the ring, tout peut arriver. I respect everyone who steps into the ring. This is my opportunity. Ce est mon temps. Deontay is a great champion but this is my chance.
“Like I always say, this is my time and it’s going to be a great triumph. This is big for all of Cuban boxing and I will make my country proud.
“This is going to be like two trains on the same track about to collide. I’m going to win and I’m going to take his belt.
“This is not a video game. This is not using controllers. You have to actually step into the ring with me Samedi nuit.
“Deontay is scared. He’s talking a lot of nonsense. He’s worried about what I’m going to do. Ce est mon temps. I’m going to show everyone.
“Je suis 100 percent ready to go. Sparring has been amazing and I’m totally prepared for Deontay Wilder. Deontay’s biggest mistake is that he talks too much.
“I looked into his eyes and I knew that I’m not going to lose this opportunity. I’m going to be the first Cuban and the first Latino born outside the country to win a title. Samedi night will be historic.
“The public gave me this opportunity to fight for the title and beat you for your belt. I’m going to make the most of my chance and knock Deontay Wilder out.”
Andre Dirrell
“It was a rocky start for me in our first fight. He caught me with a good shot in the early rounds, but I was able to fight through it. I started to dominate the second half of the fight but he had definitely thrown my game off. I still weathered the storm and made good things happen. This fight is very deserving of a rematch and I’m looking forward to it.
“This fight right here is one of the beautiful moments we have in boxing. There were two wrongs that night in the last fight. I’m really happy with everyone who has made this rematch and gave the sport what it deserves.
“Now Jose Uzcategui and myself both have chances to prove ourselves again. This is going to be the worst opportunity of Uzcategui’s life. But it will be the best opportunity for me.
“This is my opportunity to prove all of the critics wrong this time. I’m not the favorite, and it’s a beautiful thing. I’m going to change every single mind Samedi nuit. I’m stepping up to the plate, and I’m preparing to hit a home run.
“Virgil Hunter has definitely helped me with my mental game. We’ve worked on a masterful game plan. Virgil is tough to work with but we did all of the necessary things we had to in order to accomplish what we have to Samedi.
“The next two years or more will be the best years of my career. I’ve been blessed with an illustrious career. This is a new look for me and I feel good. I have a very tough, hungry fighter in front of me and I can’t wait to prove myself.”
JOSE UZCATEGUI
“We’re not doing anything differently heading into this fight. I’ve put the time in at the gym every day to make sure that the fight ends conclusively this time.
“Before I even got to the ring in the first fight I felt some animosity from the referee towards me and it kind of led to what happened in the fight.
“Saturday night you’re not just going to see that I’m a boxer-puncher, but you’ll see my full power on display.
“I’m happy to be in this rematch. I hope that Dirrell brings action like he’s talking about Samedi. I don’t want to chase him around the ring all night.
“I’m ready to accomplish my dreams, and that involves beating Andre Dirrell more decisively than last night and leaving no doubt at all who the better fighter is.”
DiBella LOU, Président de DiBella Entertainment
“Deontay Wilder put everything aside to face one of the greatest amateur heavyweights in the history of boxing. This fight is happening because Deontay is that good and he’s that proud. Deontay is ready to prove that he’s the baddest man on the planet.
“There is a sensational off-television undercard beginning at 5:30 p.m. at Barclays Center that includes a group of top contenders and prospects. It’s really a loaded undercard from top to bottom.
“That great undercard includes a woman’s title fight involving Alicia Napoleon. Everyone involved in this fight has made an effort to have women’s boxing represented on our cards and I’m proud to be able to deliver that for fans.
“This will be Deontay’s third defense of his title in Brooklyn at Barclays Center. He successfully defended against Artur Szpilka and Bermane Stiverne, with two frightening knockouts. I’m proud to work with Barclays Center and promote boxing in Brooklyn. This is certainly one of the best venues for boxing in the world and certainly a venue that is dedicated to bringing the fans consistently excellent programming inside the arena.
“This fight is getting the kind of reception that it deserves. If you want to get tickets for Samedinuit, I would call now because they’re moving fast.”
STEPHEN ESPINOZA, President Sports & programmation des événements, Showtime Sports Inc.
“When we have a fight card like this, the network gets a lot of credit but these fights truly don’t happen unless fighters like Wilder and Ortiz are ready to take the fights.
“When we announced our schedule back in January, there was one fight that jumped out to everyone, and it was Wilder vs. Ortiz. They have 67 fights between them, 67 victoires, 0 pertes et 62 KO. This is part of what we’re calling ‘March Madness’ sur Showtime. All four heavyweight titles, the top four heavyweights in the world, including Anthony Joshua vs. Joseph Parker on Mars 31, facing each other this month on SHOWTIME. There hasn’t been a lineup like that put together by any network in the history of the sport.
“The titles are great but these fights are about something else. They’re about legacy. When people look back and ask, ‘what kind of fighter was Deontay Wilder?’ This is the fight that they will talk about. More important than knockouts and unbeaten records, this is why fighters are remembered.
“Dirrell contre. Uzcategui 2 is good enough to be a main event and they deserve to have a great stage for this rematch. These are the kind of cards that people look back and say, were you there that night? If you’re not watching this card, you’re not a boxing fan. Because this is the best that the sport has to offer.”
BRETT YORMARK, PDG de Brooklyn Sports & Divertissement
“I can’t tell you how excited I am for Saturday night. People are starting to realize how viable this sport is and that boxing is a sport on the rise. We’re thrilled to be a part of it
“Events like Samedi in Brooklyn are why this sport is thriving. It features a deep card from top to bottom, 50-50 fights and great fighters with magnetic personalities
“Deontay, even though you weren’t born in Brooklyn, we do consider you our own. We’re excited to have Luis Ortiz as well, pour la première fois,, Samedi nuit. This is a card from top to bottom that’s incredible and I’m thrilled to welcome Andre and Jose to Brooklyn.
“The seats are moving really quickly and this should be one of the biggest fights we’ve had at Barclays Center. We’re very excited for this show and look forward to seeing everyone there.”

Le combat a été arrêté avant le début du huitième tour après l'entraîneur de Peterson, Barry Hunter, a appelé à l'arrêt.

 

 

 

Le combat joue similaire à la façon dont les deux combattants ont prédit, à partir d'une affaire tactique méfiant avant qu'il transformé en un combat agressif dans les étapes intermédiaires. Deux minutes autour de cinq, Spence a utilisé un cloquage crochet gauche pour envoyer Peterson à la toile (Cliquez ICIpour point culminant).

Après le combat Spence a parlé au journaliste Jim Gray SHOWTIME Sport et n'a pas tardé à donner du crédit à son adversaire. « Je tiens à remercier Lamont,"Il a dit. « Beaucoup de gars a refusé le combat et il a pris comme un vrai guerrier et je l'en félicite. Il est un combattant dur. He’s willing to die in there.” Click ICI de regarder le point culminant d'entrevue.

 

 

 

En dépit de gagner la victoire en commandant la mode, Spence croit encore qu'il a de la place pour améliorer. « Je peux encore améliorer beaucoup de choses sur ma défense,» A déclaré le champion du monde invaincu. « Je dois simplement continuer à perfectionner mes compétences et continuer à progresser. Vous allez voir une meilleure Errol Spence prochaine fois que je reçois dans le ring.

 

 

 

« Tout le monde sait que je suis attendu sur « Some Time » Thurman,» Dit Spence, dans la perspective d'un match d'unification possible avec WBC et WBA mi-moyens champion du monde Keith Thurman. "Depuis que j'étais 15-0 I’ve been calling this guy out and he keeps making excuses. Mettons-nous sur. Il a deux des ceintures et nous avons deux grands noms. Il est un combat facile à faire et je le veux « .

 

 

 

Peterson, qui se sont battus vaillamment contre le jeune Spence, respecté la décision de son entraîneur d'arrêter le combat, «S'il me demande de combattre un million de personnes, Je ferai. S'il me demande d'arrêter. je vais arrêter. Je ne pourrai jamais remettre en question sa décision. Je sais qu'il a mes intérêts à coeur « .

 

 

 

« Il était vraiment difficile, mais si vous connaissez Lamont, vous savez qu'il ne va pas abandonner,» Dit entraîneur Barry Hunter. « Je devais arrêter. A la fin de la journée,, c'est mon fils ici. Il n'y a rien de plus précieux que son bien-être. Si elle lui vient ou gagner, Je le chercher. Je me soucie de lui. »

 

 

Undefeated 135-pound world champion Robert Pâques (21-0, 14 KOs) earned a split decision victory over former world champion Javier Fortuna (33-2-1, 23 KOs) en cas de co-principal de l'émission de télévision Showtime. Les juges ont noté le combat 114-113, 113-114 et 115-112.

 

 

 

Le combat va-et-vient a vu deux combattants qualifiés restent dans la poche et cherchent à faire des dégâts de l'intérieur. Une deuxième déduction rond point de Fortuna a coûté cher quand la République dominicaine a été averti et sanctionné pour avoir frappé Pâques derrière la tête. Sans une déduction de points, la lutte aurait été marqué un tirage au sort. Alors que Pâques Jr. était légèrement plus occupé, Fortuna a atterri les coups de poing plus puissants. Pâques Jr., qui détenait un avantage de taille importante, Fortuna a atterri sur, connexion sur 120 de 383 (31 pour cent) coups de puissance tandis que Fortuna connectés sur 113 de 441 (26 pour cent).

 

 

 

« Ce fut un combat difficile, il est un ancien champion du monde pour une raison,» Pâques dit Gris. « Nous l'avons fait essayer difficile de contrer coup de poing. Il ne jetais pas beaucoup et il a rendu difficile pour moi de chasser ce gars autour.

 

 

 

“Je ne pouvais pas le knock-out, mais nous avons obtenu la victoire et que tout ce qui compte. Je savais qu'il allait courir une fois qu'il sentait mon pouvoir. Il voulait juste saisir et de tenir toute la lutte « .

 

 

 

Regarder vers l'avant, Pâques a fait clairement ses intentions comme il cherche des épisodes d'unification dans un proche avenir, « Je veux me battre les champions et unifier ces ceintures. Combats comme ceux-ci ne sont pas dans mon plan de jeu. Je suis prêt à signer le contrat Mikey Garcia et Jorge Linares « .

 

 

 

Une Fortuna mécontente a également parlé à Gray, « Le public sait ce qui est arrivé ici. Ils ont hué parce qu'ils savent que j'ai gagné ce combat.

 

 

 

«S'il est un homme de laisser se battre à nouveau à 135 livres,», A déclaré Fortuna, who failed to make weight on two attempts Vendredi, ce qui signifie que la ceinture de Pâques ne serait pas sur la ligne. « Je vais certainement faire le poids. Je ne me suis pas donné assez de temps pour former « .

 

 

 

Candidat invaincu des poids lourds légers Marcus Browne (21-0, 16 KOs) fait le travail rapide de Francy Ntetu (17-2, 4 KOs) dans l'action BOXE CHAMPIONNAT SHOWTIME prelims, as he dropped and battered his opponent early to force referee Arthur Mercante to stop the bout at just 2:15 de la première ronde.

Montréal, natif du Québec n'a jamais été en mesure de retrouver ses pieds et se trouva acculé contre les cordes seulement trente secondes plus tard. Un barrage de combinaisons puissantes atterri sur la défense Ntetu a quitté l'arbitre avec peu d'autre choix que d'arrêter le combat avec 45 secondes restantes en nombre rond une.

 

 

 

“Nous avons travaillé pour cette victoire. Il est entré dans un coup sûr et je lui ai fait payer,» A déclaré Browne. « La gauche en pronation l'a attrapé et ce fut le début de la fin pour lui. Je savais qu'il était blessé.

 

 

 

“Je besoin d'un coup de titre mondial. Je suis prêt à prendre l'un des champions. Je n'ai pas les préférences. Je suis content d'avoir mis en place une autre grande performance ici au Barclays Center. Je vais continuer à améliorer jusqu'à ce que je devienne vraiment M.. Barclays Center « .

 

 

 

crédit, qui a déménagé à la division des lourds légers pour ce combat, avait du mal à traiter avec la combinaison de Browne de la vitesse et de la puissance sur le chemin de la deuxième perte de sa carrière pro.

 

 

 

"[Browne] est très explosif, Félicitations à lui,” Ledit Ntetu. “Il est rapide, il est intelligent et je ne l'attendait pas à être cet explosif. Il m'a fait avec son crochet droit et gauche droite.

 

 

 

« Je suis en assez forme pour se battre pour 10 tours. Ce n'est pas ma catégorie de poids, mais je ne veux pas faire des excuses « .

 

 

 

Dans le combat d'ouverture du BOXE CHAMPIONNAT SHOWTIME prelims, invaincu Adam Kownacki (17-0, 14 KOs) delivered a brutal knockout of Iago Kiladze (26-2, 18 KOs) à 2:08 of the sixth round of their heavyweight matchup. Kownacki, né à Lomza, Pologne, mais les combats de Brooklyn, New York, apprécié comme il portait constamment vers le bas Kiladze le soutien de sa foule locale.

 

 

 

Kownacki était plus agressif et précis des deux combattants, atterrissage 43 pour cent de ses coups de puissance et 35 pour cent de ses coups totaux, comparativement à seulement 30 pour cent et 18 pour cent, respectivement, pour Kiladze. Malgré un nez sanglant qui Kownacki souffert au premier tour, le poids lourd polonais a commencé à verser et sur pneus Kiladze avec une série de uppercuts et un deux combinaisons dans le quatrième tour. Le combat bourré d'action a pris fin lorsque Kownacki connecté sur une combinaison de deux uppercuts et une main droite qui a envoyé Kiladze sur son dos dans la dernière minute de la sixième manche. Après un Kiladze abasourdi retourné à ses pieds, arbitre Shada Murdaugh appelé à la lutte à la suggestion du médecin de bord du ring.

“Je pense que je fait de la lutte beaucoup plus difficile que je devrais. Il est une autre expérience d'apprentissage et j'ai eu la victoire. C'est tout ce qui compte."

ERROL SPENCE JR.
“Ce combat signifie tout pour moi. I still have a chip on my shoulder. I want to be the last man standing. I want to beat the top fighters in my division. Lamont is the one standing in front of me, so it’s fight time.
“I think it’s going to turn into a war. A lot of people have thought this would be an easy fight for me. But if you follow Lamont Peterson, you know this will be tough. He’s always in great shape and has a lot of skills. IT might be a dog fight and that’s what I wanted. He’s the guy who wanted to fight and I said of course. It’s going to be a rugged fight. Later on in the fights, he always gets rough and stands toe-to-toe.
“There might not be a lot of talking and bad blood between us, but you know that the two of us always give a great fight for the fans.
“I had to wait for my title defense and then I had a lot of guys not answer the call for this fight. I have a belt and I still have to call these other guys out. Lamont Peterson answered the call like a real fighter.
“In a perfect world I’d be unifying with Keith Thurman this year. I’m going to fight three times this year though. You don’t get time back. I’m ready to strike now.
“I’m just excited to fight. Je tiens à combattre. I can’t wait to be in front of those bright lights in front of the fans. Brooklyn is a great place to fight and my family from the area can come see me live. I can’t wait to display my skills.
“A true champion can’t fight everybody who calls them out, it’s still a business. But a true champion fights other champions, especially when they’re available. You can’t avoid questions and try to delay a fight. You fight the next champion that’s available, that’s what a true champion does.”
Lamont Peterson
“When I got into boxing, I had goals. First I wanted to be a National Champion, then a world champion as a professional, but the ultimate goal is to be in the Hall of Fame. With that being my goal, I wouldn’t put myself in that conversation yet. With wins over a guy like Errol Spence and the other top welterweights, I think I’m right there in it. That’s my goal and I’ll give it my all to get there.
“If you left it to me I’d fight every month. That’s how much I love the sport. I know a victory would help me get in the ring even more often. Sometimes if you lose at the top level, other top guys don’t want to take a chance against you. I can fix all of that this weekend
“I don’t worry about any negativity. My resume is written in the history books. All I can do is respect the opinion of others and work hard to get this win.
“I’m excited and looking forward to the skill level that’s going to be displayed this weekend. It’s going to be a rough fight for sure. But I look forward to the technique and skill level. Defense, offense and transitioning between the two. That’s the part of boxing that I love.
“Errol even taking the Kell Brook fight was impressive to me. Most guys in his position take their time leading up to the first title shot, but he ended up fighting someone in his prime in his country. To will himself to that win was very impressive.
“When you get to the big stages and those big fights, you have to win more than you lose. I think if I can win some big fights these next few years my career will be in a good place.”
ROBERT PÂQUES
“I have no concerns fighting a southpaw. I made my last fight hard, but this time I’m going to use my reach, my feet and my speed to dominate.
“I’m looking for a great performance. This is going to be the best Robert Easter the fans have ever seen. We prepared to dominate this fight.
“Javier Fortuna is an accomplished fighter but I don’t know too much about him. I know what I came to do. I’m a world champion and everyone knows what I bring to the fight game. I won’t leave without my strap.
“I’m ready to fight the best in this sport. I want to become the man at this weight and I know I have to beat the other champions to do that.
“Boxing is all about showing you’re the best and fighting the best. I just want to fight these other champions in my weight class. I’m looking to stay healthy in 2018 and remain on top.”
JAVIER FORTUNA
“I have no excuses on Janvier 20. I hope he doesn’t either. I will be taking that title to the Dominican Republic for my fans. I’ve been dreaming about it and I will take it.
“I have the style and the skills to beat Robert Easter. I know how to make sure his height does not affect me at all. Everyone will see it on fight night.
“Je me suis très bien préparé. I have a plan to win every round. If he’s able to stand there, I’m going to break him down round by round.
“I am fighting for more than just myself and that is why I’ll be successful. I am going to prove that I’m truly one of the top fighters in the sport.
“Robert Easter is a fighter I respect, but I believe I can defeat anyone in front of me. If he takes me lightly, it will go even worse for him. I’ve been training hard to make sure I’m at my absolute best on fight night.
“A win would be great for my country, my fans and my family. Winning this title is everything for me. That’s why I’m here and I will not be stopped.”
DERRICK JAMES, Entraîneur de Spence
“I started training Errol about nine years ago but I never really knew just how special he was until about a year or so into our training. I thought Olympics were definitely possible, because I didn’t want to look too far ahead. Maintenant que nous sommes ici, I think he can beat any of the top guys. I want him to be undisputed welterweight champion just like he wants to be.
“I never worry about comparing Errol to other guys in the sport. He’s a hard puncher who breaks ribs and breaks faces. The longer the fight goes, the more pain he inflicts. I’ve never seen anybody who punches that hard.
“I think Lamont knew when he moved up to welterweight that this fight would be a possibility. It’s time for us to go to work because I know Lamont and Barry Hunter are working on a game plan. They have a great team and I know Lamont will be ready for what we bring.”
BARRY HUNTER, Entraîneur de Peterson
“We stay in the gym all the time. We didn’t have to deal with the weight monster this camp. Weight issue can really derail a camp leading up to a fight of this magnitude. We didn’t have to deal with any of that.
“There are several different things in Errol’s arsenal that I think we can exploit. Errol will make adjustments though, so I think strategy will be a key in this fight.
“Lamont has always been a coach’s dream. He’s the type of athlete that you would love to coach. He does everything a coach asks of him. He will train until he passes out. All he wants is to work hard and compete.”
DiBella LOU, Président de DiBella Entertainment
“This is a great night for boxing. The first January date of the year drums up a lot of excitement and we expect a great turnout Samedi nuit au Barclays Center. It’s going to be a great crowd and an exciting night from top to bottom.
“Errol Spence Jr. is one of the best young fighters in the world testing himself against another great fighter in Lamont Peterson It’s the best fighting the best. Lamont Peterson is a guy with a tremendous resume. If anybody thinks Errol is going to take Lamont lightly, they’re mistaken and he would be too.
“Both of these main event fighters are lucky to have trainers who are real teachers. They are old school and two of the best. Derrick James and Barry Hunter know the game inside and out.
“Robert Easter is a beast, he’s got reach, power and boxing ability. He’s facing a guy in Javier Fortuna who is a confident former world champion. Javier has been talking a big game. He’s talking about knockouts. You want to see a guy come into a fight like this with that kind of confidence.
“This year in boxing is starting out just like last year started, at Barclays Center with a great, even matchup like Badou Jack vs. James DeGale last year.”
STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Vice-président exécutif & Directeur Général, Sports Showtime
“In terms of representing the sport, you don’t get any better than Errol Spence Jr. and Lamont Peterson. The professionalism of these guys is unmatched and they represent the best of the sport. I’m proud to have them on the network.
“You can’t play boxing. You have to be dedicated and passionate. Those values are going to be reflected in the ring Samedi.
“This is a special fight. These are the best in the sport. They’re both top 10 gars. Errol Spence Jr. has grown up on SHOWTIME.
He made his pro debut on ShoBox and won his first world title on SHOWTIME. This is Lamont’s eighth appearance on SHOWTIME and he has one of the strongest resumes in the sport.
“Robert Easter and Javier Fortuna is another matchup of top 10 gars. What we’re doing here is special. This isn’t just another network doing boxing, this is the cream of the crop.”
BRETT YORMARK, PDG de Brooklyn Sports & Divertissement
“I’m really excited about Samedi nuit. We’ve been very fortunate to host the first big event of the year. There’s an appetite to get back into the game and we’re happy to be hosting it.
“I want to welcome back Errol and Lamont to Barclays Center. Both have been there before and we’re thrilled to have you back. We’re pleased that Robert has finally decided to take his show to Barclays Center and give the fans a performance. Last time Javier won at Barclays Center he won his world title and we’re happy to have him back.
“We’re going to create something great here in Brooklyn and it continues Samedi night at Barclays Center.”
