Også til stede ved træningen var Peterson bror, once-beaten contender Anthony Peterson, der konkurrerer i undercard handling på Januar 20 begivenhed.
Her er, hvad workout deltagerne havde at sige torsdag:
LAMONT PETERSON
“Jeg føler stor. Jeg er allerede tæt på vægten. Jeg er glad og spiser op til fem gange om dagen. Jeg føler mig stærk, og jeg er klar til denne kamp.
“Jeg er nødt til at se på dette som egentlig bare en anden stor kamp. Når du er på toppen, du forsøger ikke at lave for meget af hver kamp. Vi ved, hvad der er på spil. Jeg ved, at når jeg holde det simpelt, det er når jeg udfører bedst.
“Lige nu er min krop føles bedre end nogensinde. Jeg er komfortable med alt, der er gået videre i lejren, og jeg tror, ​​du kan se det i min krop.
“Jeg har altid trænet hårdt siden den første dag jeg kom her som barn. Det er blevet indpodet i mig, da en ung alder, og det er bar mig gennem hele min karriere.
“Alt hvad jeg gør, er for D.C.. Jeg forsøger at få så meget anerkendelse for dette område den bedste måde jeg kan. Det er, hvad vi alle stræber efter i denne gym. Dette er den største en, der har været på tidsplanen for et stykke tid, og jeg er klar til at bringe det hjem.
“Det bliver lettere og lettere jo flere mesterskabet kampe jeg er i. Jeg var i form til dem alle, men jeg helt sikkert sætte mere pres på mig selv, da jeg var ung. Jeg har forbedret hver gang, og nu føler jeg, at jeg er virkelig på det perfekte sted i min karriere.”
ANTHONY PETERSON
“Jeg er nødt til at afgive en redegørelse. Jeg føler aldrig komfortable med en beslutning. Jeg tror, ​​det er en god ting, fordi jeg er nødt til at være noget særligt under de lyse lys.
“Alle ved, jeg kan lide at gå til kroppen. Du ved, jeg har tænkt mig at gøre ham arbejde, så du kan se ud for mig til at bryde min modstander ned på Januar 20.
“Jeg har været sparring med en række erfarne krigere i det seneste år, og de har hjulpet mig ud, selv mens jeg ikke har haft en kamp. Ring rust er alle mentale. Det er op til dig at sætte arbejdet i.
“Jeg har ikke fået de kampe, som jeg ønsker, men jeg vil altid holde sig til mit spil og holde sig til mit håndværk. Jeg ved, hvis jeg holder ud, tingene vil arbejde ud for mig.
“Jeg ved, at jeg elsker denne sport. Jeg ved, at i sidste ende vil jeg være en verdensmester. Jeg tror på min fremtid, og jeg ser frem til store kampe.
“Det er inspirerende at se Lamont gøre hans ting og lykkes. Han kommer til at slå Errol Spence, selv hvis folk ikke tror det. Jeg tror, ​​han kommer til at tage sig af forretninger.”
BARRY HUNTER, Petersons Trainer
“Det har været en lang trummerum i lejren for disse fyre. Når jeg tænker tilbage på, hvor længe vi har været på denne rejse, Jeg er meget stolt af dem. De var 9 og 10 da de først kom ind i gymnastiksalen.
“Vi har ikke vægten monster til at beskæftige sig med at kæmpe på weltervægt. Lamont er i et fantastisk sted mentalt og fysisk. Jeg ser frem til en eksplosiv kamp.
“Når man ser på Spence-Brook kamp, tidligt på Brook havde en masse succes. Ned strækningen Errol pålagt hans vilje og brød Brook ned. Jeg kender Errol godt, og jeg har coachet ham. Han har en stærk vilje. Han er ikke stor i et område, men han er god i en masse områder. Dette er en anden slags fyr han vender. Heart er noget Lamont er langtfra kort på. Jeg tror, ​​dette kan starte taktisk, og derefter blive til en krig.
“Mit job er at gå derind med en del af en plan, men det er altid om justeringer for os. Uanset hvad Errol bringer til bordet, Vi finder ud af det og sætte alt i bevægelse.
“Denne sidste uge er en masse spil plan og mental forberedelse arbejde. En masse krigere ikke træne sindet. Du er nødt til at træne sindet i endnu højere grad end kroppen. Vi er nødt til at være klar til hver scenarie.
“Jeg tror, ​​at hvis Anthony går derind og gør sit job der er et par ledige titler på 140-pounds, og det er et spor for os. Vi ønsker at få en rem om livet, og vi vil stå over for nogen at få det.
“Lamont, sammen med Anthony, Gary Russell Jr., Jarrett Hurd og Gervonta Davis, har holdt nede boksning i dette område i lang tid. Det ville være enormt til at bringe denne titel hjem. Der er en masse unge Lamont Petersons på dette område, der ønsker at nå dette niveau. Det ville være et fyrtårn af lys, der skinner ned og vise disse mennesker vejen.”

ERROL Spence JR.
“Alle, der har set mig kæmpe før ved det ikke vil være en kedelig kamp. Selv om det er ensidig, det altid vil være actionmættet. Januar 20 kommer til at være en enorm kamp, ​​og jeg har tænkt mig at lægge på en stor præstation. Jeg planlægger at dominere.
“Defending min titel i Brooklyn vil være særligt. Jeg har familie i New York også så det betyder meget, at jeg vil være i stand til at forsvare på Barclays Centre. New York er en boksning byen, så de virkelig sætter pris på mestre og kender sporten.

“Dette fællesskab i Dallas er meget vigtigt for mig. Da jeg var
vokser op her var der ingen professionelle boksere herfra, at jeg kunne se til som rollemodel. Når du har ressourcer til at give tilbage, er det vigtigt at gøre det. Jeg elsker at være i gymnastiksalen og hjælpe de virkelig unge fyre og give dem noget at stræbe efter.”
DERRICK JAMES, Spence træner
“Errol ser rigtig godt ud i uddannelse. Han har stor fokus. Han er meget detalje orienteret og indtastet på at være den bedste version af sig selv. Bestemmelsen på hans ansigt lader mig vide, at han ønsker at forlade noget uforsøgt og sørge for alt går sin vej på kampen nat. Vi vinder kampen i gymnastiksalen ikke i ringen.
“Errol har at holde denne mentalitet går ind i denne kamp, ​​og ud over, og han ved, at. At vinde en titel er ikke, hvad han vil. Han ønsker at være ubestridte weltervægt mester. Han er meget målrettet, og jeg tror, ​​han vil nå dette mål. Han tager ikke et nej. Han kommer til at presse sig selv til det yderste og nå sine mål.
“Lamont Peterson er meget vittig og intelligent i ringen. Han er en hård fyr også. Han bringer, at mental udholdenhed, som du har brug for at blive en succes. Vi har at komme til denne kamp 100 procent og være fokuseret hele tiden. Hvis vi ikke gør, vi kan komme op kort.
“Jeg er nødt til at være den bedste udgave af mig selv for. Jeg prøver at få bedre og bedre hver kamp og hver dag i gymnastiksalen. Jeg ved, at jeg er nødt til at være på toppen af ​​alt, hvad der kunne ske. Barry Hunter er en hård, intelligent træner, der bringer en masse til bordet. Lamont har et fantastisk hold. Det er en fornøjelse og en ære at møde dem i ringen.”

Her er hvad de krigere havde at sige om deres januar 20 dueller og mere:
ROBERT PÅSKE (20-0, 14 KOS) – Gør tredje forsvar af IBF Letvægts verden titel
“Denne kamp kan definitivt sat en god tone for mig i 2018. Jeg har tænkt mig at være at gøre en erklæring med denne kamp. Mine sidste tre kampe, jeg har ikke fået en knockout. Jeg har tænkt mig at være at give mine fans og kæmpe fans et godt show.
“Jeg har tænkt mig at bruge min rækkevidde og længde og ødelægge denne fyr udefra. Alle min karriere har jeg kæmpet kortere fyre. Hver kort fyr kæmper ikke det samme. Men du får i ringen, og du føler ham ud og foretage justeringer.
“Der er ikke noget særligt, at jeg er nødt til at forberede sig til med Fortuna. Jeg tager hver kamp de samme. Hver fighter kæmper forskellige, så du komme derind, føler ham ud og foretage justeringer, som du går sammen. Jeg er ikke bekymret for ham at være en southpaw. Jeg har konfronteret masser af venstreorienterede i min karriere, og i de amatører. Det er ingen problemer overhovedet.
“Jeg tror det, der gør mig mere farlig bokser i denne kamp er at have den højde, jeg gør, og det stansning magt og hastighed og den tankegang samt. Min tankegang er, at jeg ikke har tænkt mig derind for at lege med ham. Jeg er klar til at ødelægge.
“Mine mål for 2018 er til at fange flere titler og få forening anfald. Vi havde et par mestre i vægtklassen, men det lader til, at ingen er villig til at kæmpe de andre mestre. Vi er villige til at gøre, hvad det tager, kæmpe den, der har titlerne. Vi er villige til at indfange alle de titler, når de andre gutter er villige til at melde sig til kampene.”
JAVIER FORTUNA (33-1-1, 23 KOS) – Tidligere Super Fjervægt verdensmester
“Min forberedelse til denne kamp går meget godt. Jeg har arbejdet i Den Dominikanske Republik, men jeg er kommet tilbage til Boston til at afslutte min uddannelse. Lige nu er vi ved 75% og lukker på 100%. Jeg vil være helt forberedt, når det er tid til at kæmpe. Min forberedelse og min strategi gør mig mere farlig fyr.
“Jeg ser dette som ingen anden kamp, ​​som jeg har haft før, fordi hver modstander er anderledes. Alle har deres egen niche på dette niveau, noget, der virker for dem. Hans niche er, at han er høj. Han bruger det til sin fordel. Men det er ikke noget, som jeg ikke kan overvinde. Jeg har kæmpet høje fyre før.
“Jeg foretrækker mine modstandere til at være højere. Det spiller ind, hvad jeg er i stand til at gøre. Jeg har aldrig haft et problem med højere modstandere. Abner Cotto (5-10) er en af ​​høje fyre, jeg kæmpede. Jeg kæmpede i Chicago og lægge på en stor præstation. (Fortuna scorede et 5th runde KO mod Cotto)
“Mit mål for 2018 er at bekæmpe alle de øverste elite krigere i min vægtklasse, og jeg prøver at blive nævnt som en af ​​de bedste i sporten. Jeg vil virkelig gerne vinde en anden verden titel i en anden vægtklasse. Det ville være den største øjeblik hidtil i min karriere at få en anden verden titel.”
MARCUS BROWNE (20-0, 15 KOS) – Top 10 Vurderet på 175 lbs. (WBC, WBO, WBA & IBF)
“Min modstander (Francy Ntetu, 17-1, 4 KOS) ligner en holdbar, hård fyr. Jeg ser denne kamp bliver meget spændende for fans, så længe det varer. Jeg så en lille smule af tape på ham. Jeg ved, han kommer altid i tip-top form, og jeg hører, at han er konsekvent i sin præstation i ringen. I just know I’m going to have to be sharp on Jan. 20.
“Det er altid en ære at kæmpe her i hjemmet og på Barclays Centre. Det er særligt at være i stand til at udføre foran disse fans, og jeg kan ikke vente med at sætte på en god præstation fører op til Spence vs. Peterson kamp.
“Denne kamp kunne sætte mig i den position, som jeg har brug for at være i at kæmpe for en verden titel. Jeg kan ikke mangle på nogen måde. Jeg er nødt til at komme ud stærk med en stor præstation fra start til slut og efterlader ingen tvivl derinde.
“For 2018, Jeg ønsker at blive en verdensmester. Jeg er fast besluttet på tomake det ske i år. That vision starts on Jan. 20 at Barclays Center against Francy Ntetu.”
FRANCY NTETU (17-1, 4 KOS) – Kæmpede David Benavidez på Barclays Centre i juni 2015
“I know Marcus Browne is probably taking me lightly and thinks he will simply go through me. Jeg håber, det er tilfældet, fordi det vil være et chok for ham, fans og hans team, når jeg tager hans plads i linje for en titel. Jeg ønsker at møde Eleider Alvarez i vores hjemby Montreal, efter at jeg får denne sejr.
“Min tidligere kamp på Barclays Center mod den nuværende WBC mester David Benavidez var naturligvis en meget dårlig beslutning af dommeren til at stoppe kampen, især når jeg var ved at vinde runden og Benavidez blev langsommere. Jeg var ved at blive stærkere, mens han var ved at blive svagere.
“Jeg har aldrig været skadet og aldrig blevet tabt i en kamp. Jeg vil have Marcus at udfordre sig selv og se, om han kan gøre noget ingen andre har. Jeg er spændt på at være i en kamp af denne størrelsesorden. Marcus, er det tid for os at give fans, hvad de ønsker!”
ADAM Kownacka (16-0, 13 KOS) – Oprindeligt fra Polen & kæmper ud af Brooklyn
“Denne kamp vil være endnu et skridt mod at blive en mester. Jeg ved, at jeg har tænkt mig at skulle arbejde meget hårdt og bevise, at jeg fortsætter med at bygge videre på min sejr mod Szpilka. Fra videoen har jeg set på Iago Kiladze (26-1, 18 KOS), Han bevæger sig meget, så jeg vil være behov for at afskære ringen. Uanset hvad han bringer til ringen, Jeg vil gerne have et svar til.
“Tre år i træk nu har jeg kæmpet i januar. Jeg elsker starter ud året stærk. Min kone og jeg startede faktisk en tradition for “Kownacki Family Run” på midnat on New Year’s Eve. Da jeg altid forbereder en kamp omkring nytår, vi var vi kunne lige så godt have det sjovt, mens vi arbejder. Så, vi har nogle venner komme ud og køre et par miles med os rundt i kvarteret i løbet af fyrværkeri. Det er sjovt og hjælper med at få mig klar.
“I sidste ende, Jeg glæder mig til at blive den bedste i den tunge afdeling. Det endelige mål for i år er at blive verdensmester. Men det allerførste skridt tager Iago Kiladze meget alvorligt. I can’t look past Januar 20 lige nu. Jeg har en hård modstander, som vil udfordre og gøre mig til en bedre fighter i det lange løb.”
Iago Kiladze, Tredje kamp siden flytte op til tunge division (2-0, 2 KOS)
“I feel great and my training has been terrific. Min træner er Freddie Roach nu. Jeg diskuteret med (IBF cruiservægt Champion) Murat Gassiev tre gange for nylig, som er fantastisk forberedelse til mig. I believe I can knockout Kownacki but if I have to go the distance I’m prepared for that. Uanset, Jeg vil være sejrrig. Jeg er føler, at jeg er den mere kvalificerede fighter og der vil vise i ringen.
“Dette er en stor kamp for min karriere og en fantastisk start for 2018. I know that if I win this fight I’ll be that much closer to a world title opportunity.
“Mit mål er at være en verdensmester i slutningen af 2018. I want to continue improving and learning under Freddie and with his guidance I’m confident of success.”

Her er, hvad pressemødet deltagerne havde at sige onsdag:
ERROL Spence JR.
“You’re going to see the same Errol Spence that you’re used to. I can’t look ahead because I know how dangerous Lamont Peterson is. I’ve been in training camps with him and I know what he can do.
“I’ve seen too many fighters look down the road and get beat before they get to the big fight. I have to be 100 percent focused and hungry. I’m fully dedicated to this fight.
“Lamont can push me to even greater levels. I feel like he is a better fighter than Kell Brook and has even more heart than Kell Brook and he can bring out the best in me.
“I think it’s going to start out as a boxing match, but as we go on, it’s going to be a dog fight. We both have big hearts. I’ve never known Lamont to turn down any fight. Not a lot of people wanted to fight me. The big names shied away from me but Lamont stood up and said he’d fight me. This is going to be a hard fight.
“I used to watch Lamont and his brother Anthony Peterson before I ever met them. I like their styles, the way they throw body punches and the fundamentals that they learned from Barry Hunter.
“I think I can be known as the best pound-for-pound in the sport, but I have to take it one fight at a time. I want to be the undisputed welterweight champion. That should be everyone’s ultimate goal – to be the best fighter in the sport. But first I have a big test ahead of me Januar 20.
“This is the business of the sport. I was a young guy when Lamont was giving me advice. Now we’ve gotten to this point. It really shows his longevity in the sport and how I’ve reached the ranks of being a top pro fighter.
“Sparring with Lamont Peterson was really great work. Det var en lærerig oplevelse. I was an amateur so I was going at a fast pace and Lamont was being patient, blocking and countering and picking his shots. He was fighting at a pro pace and I didn’t really understand it until I got farther into my career.
“You’ve seen me and Lamont fight. We’re not in boring fights. We have fan-friendly styles and you’re going to get a really good fight. We have the mentality to really go after it and give it our all to get this win.
“I want the best in this division to all fight each other. It’s time for everyone else to stand up and proclaim that they want to be great. That’s how we get this division to the peak. I don’t feel like waiting to fight the best. I want to prove myself.”
LAMONT PETERSON
“This is a world title fight and I’m thankful for that. I try not to make too much out of each fight. I just want to take it one fight at a time. I’ve done this for 13 years as a professional. All fights are the same. I’m going to go in there and take care of business.
“As a top fighter, you’re obligated to take what comes on the table. Regardless of who it is. It’s boxing. It’s a sport and we’re competitors. We want to go in there and compete to see who’s the best. We’re going to treat it like business like we always do.
“You already know when I fight, it’s a feeling out process to start, but in my head, Jeg er klar til at gå. It’s going to get rough in the trenches and we’ll see who wants it more.
“I knew six years ago when Errol was in my camp that we’d get to this point. I knew he would be a champion. For det meste, I’ve seen him improve and progress throughout the pro ranks and I believe he’s going to keep getting better.
“I don’t pay any attention to the outside noise. I respect everyone’s opinion. I just go out and train to do what I love to do. I do this because I love to box. I’m not here to get on a list. I truly love this sport.
“I can’t worry about people thinking that Errol is the next star in this sport. I believe that, but I can’t worry about it. It is up to me and my team to come up with the right type of strategy and execute it.
“I’m not too worried about figuring out his southpaw stance. I’ve been around long enough and encountered enough southpaws. I’m confident I’ll be able to handle it.
“The size may seem like an advantage for Errol, but it’s up to me and my team to figure out the best way to negate it. I know who I am. I’m a competitive person. Regardless of everything, I’m going to come to win.”
DERRICK JAMES, Spence træner
“We have a game plan in place. We’ll try to perfect everything leading up to this one. We’re working on making Errol a more complete fighter every time out. He’ll be better than he was when you saw him against Brook.
“We’re looking for the perfect fight. It takes a great fighter to bring out the greatness in another great fighter. These guys are high caliber fighters and it’s about as good a matchup as you can have in the division.
“These are two guys with the mentality to go after it. But they also have technical skill. This is going to be an old school fight between guys with real skills.
“It’s one thing to do it, but it’s another to teach. I’ve really understood this sport since I became a trainer. Fighters are developed, not born. I’m going to keep working with these guys on the fundamentals so we can bring up the whole sport.”
BARRY HUNTER, Petersons Trainer
“When I look at Errol Spence, I instantly fell in love with him because he reminded me of Lamont so much. They both have that dog mentality. I’ve always known he was a special fighter.
“Lamont told me when he worked with Errol that he really liked the kid. He knew he would be a world champion. I had to remind myself that this is business. We have to fight our friends.
“These are the two guys who are ready to fight anybody. The fight on Januar 20 is going to be one to remember. It’s a fan-friendly fight.
“Errol Spence is the best fighter in the welterweight division. You have athletes that can fight and athletes who are fighters. Errol and Lamont are both. They have the skills and they have the ability to fight.
“To be the best in the world, you have to fight the best in the world. All the greats have done it. In order to get back to the glory days, we need to put the best against the best. I have confidence in Lamont Peterson against anybody.”
LOU Dibella, Formand for DiBella Entertainment
“There are very few fights you could make that are better in the welterweight division than this fight. It’s going to take place at the home of big-time boxing, here at Barclays Center in Brooklyn and live on SHOWTIME.
“Errol Spence is one of the most talked about fighters in the sport. Some think he could be the best fighter in the world. He’s consistently said he only wants to fight the best and on Januar 20 he will be fighting another champion and another great welterweight. Lamont Peterson never backs down from a challenge and we know he’ll be ready for this fight on Januar 20.
“This is a great event that continues the run of significant meaningful matchups on SHOWTIME. It’s been great quality programming. The fight cards have all been incredibly easy to promote because the fights have been so strong. You have to make fights with great fighters battling other great fighters. That’s what we need to energize our fans and our sport.”
STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Executive VP & General Manager, SHOWTIME Sports
“As we come to the end of 2017 we look back on what has been a really strong year. 25 nights of live boxing, 80 live boxing matches and 27 verden titel slagsmål. Not just title fights, but world title fights featuring top ranked challengers against top ranked champions.
“We’ve brought you the most watched fight of the year in Keith Thurman vs. Danny Garcia right here at Barclays Center on CBS. It was also the most watched primetime boxing match in nearly 20 år. But we will not be resting on our laurels.
“We’ll kick off next year with an incredibly strong card. Errol Spence has grown up on SHOWTIME and we’re proud of that. He made his debut on ShoBox and won his world title on SHOWTIME. He has knocked out nine straight opponents and in his last five fights his opponents have an impressive record of 141-7-3.
“Not a lot of fighters are rushing to fight Errol Spence. Lamont Peterson not only stepped up to the challenge, but he relinquished his welterweight title to take this fight. That’s the kind of fighter he is. He has one of the strongest resumes in the division and he’s fought the best guys in the sport.
“We’re thrilled to kick off the year with this matchup. It’s another great fight in the welterweight division, a division we’ve been paying a lot of attention to for years. We’ll see you on Januar 20.”
BRETT YORMARK, CEO of Brooklyn Sports & Underholdning
“We’re coming off of an incredible 2017 for BROOKLYN BOXING. It far exceeded my expectations. We’re very committed to boxing, not just now, but in the future. This fight kicks off what I think will be a great 2018 for BROOKLYN BOXING.
“Lamont was on the first ever PBC card at Barclays Center in 2015 and Brooklyn is happy to have you back. Errol was here in the spring of 2016 and we’ve had him as a fan several times, but we far prefer having you here in the ring.
“Barclays Center is known for hosting 50-50 fights and this is no different. We’re thrilled to be holding this event here in Brooklyn. We look forward to seeing you on Januar 20.”

Her er, hvad deltagerne havde at sige Onsdag:
DEONTAY WILDER
“Jeg er den best. I am the toughest heavyweight in the division. Jeg er den man in the division. I don’t care what anybody else has going on. You’ve got to come through me.
“When I knock him out, I want my due respect. I’m the only American heavyweight champion of the world and I am the man. Nobody is stronger physically, mentalt og åndeligt. They are all scared of me.
“I’m the heavyweight in the division with real knockout power. I put grown men down easily. På November 4, Ortiz is going down. Efter det, you already know who is next. I’m ready to unify.
“If he’s the boogeyman, I can’t wait to shine a light on him because the boogeyman is only effective at night. And we’re in New York so you already know what happened to King Kong in New York.
“The game plan is the same as usual. We’re going to use my attributes. I’m going to set him up until the time comes. Ortiz has a great set of skills and I like his aggressive style. That’s one of the reasons I chose him. I wanted to beat him to prove that I am the man.
“It definitely won’t go the distance. Lige nu, I’m thinking about three rounds but come November 4th, it might be in the first round.”
LUIS ORTIZ
“I’m ready to go and excited for the fight. I want to get to November 4 so I can do what I have to do.
“Wilder does a lot of talking. He’s nervous and keeps forgetting the date of the fight. I think he took this fight because he has no choice and no one else to fight.
“I think Wilder is going to run in this fight. He should be careful what he says before the fight, because I think he’s going to run from me.
“Wilder should sign his death sentence. I’m very different than anybody else that he’s fought. I punch harder than anybody else. I’m going to teach him not to mess with Cubans.
“Some skeptics are talking about my age, but look at Mayweather. I still have my speed and my quickness.”
JAY flot, Wilder’s Co-Manager and Trainer
“Everything in camp has been going well. Last time we were here in New York we had a great crowd and it was a wonderful event. This will be an even bigger challenge. This is the fight the fans wanted and this is the fight we wanted.
“Deontay has always wanted the biggest challenges. We won the belt in [Bermane] Stiverne’s hometown and we were ready to go to Russia to defend the belt. These are two guys in the division no one wants to fight, but they’ve decided to fight each other.
“This is a great opportunity for Deontay to show who he is and where he is. It’s going to be well worth everyone’s time to be there at Barclays Center.”
LOU Dibella, Formand for DiBella Entertainment
“There is nothing like a great heavyweight championship fight and on November 4th, a great champion is going to fight a great contender. This is a terrific fight.
“This fight is happening because Deontay Wilder wants the world to know that he is afraid of no one, and that he’s prepared to fight anyone and he’s the best heavyweight in the world today. I could not be prouder of him for making this fight happen.
“This is the toughest fight that Deontay Wilder could engage in right now. This is the most difficult opponent he possibly could fight.
“Luis Ortiz is the boogeyman of this division. You haven’t heard anyone scream about fighting Luis Ortiz. A lot of people were shocked when they heard that Deontay Wilder wants to fight him. He not only wants to fight him, but he insisted upon it.
“This isn’t a 43-year-old champion on his last legs in Luis Ortiz. This is a hungry beast that wants to beat Deontay Wilder. But Deontay is a champion. He’s not doing this for the money. A lot of people would think this is a dumb economic move. This is a legacy move. This is a move to prove who is the best. We’re not afraid of Anthony Joshua. If he was available on November 4th and wanted to fight, we’d fight him then.”
STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Executive VP & GM, SHOWTIME Sports
“This has been a really strong year for SHOWTIME Boxing. This will be our 23rd live boxing event on SHOWTIME this year. And they’ve been important, meningsfulde kampe. Not just a big name against a nobody. Faktisk, 16 times this year on SHOWTIME we’ve featured and unbeaten fighter taking on another unbeaten fighter. We know on SHOWTIME that you’re seeing the best fighting the best. No other network is as dedicated to delivering the highest quality fights. So without question, it’s been a great year. But we may have saved the best for last here.
“We have two of the top heavyweights in the world. Both undefeated with a combined record of 65-0, 60 knockouts. This is the best fight that can be made in the heavyweight division. There is no question about that. This will be the eighth heavyweight title fight we’ve featured in the last two years. The only way to get to one unified champion in the heavyweight division is to have the best fight the best, and that is what is happening here on November. 4, and we can’t wait.”

BROOKLYN (Juli 30, 2017) – Three-division world champion Mikey Garcia kept his undefeated record intact with a dominant 12-round performance against four-division world champion Adrien Broner i de vigtigste tilfælde af SHOWTIME Championship Boxing, Saturday on SHOWTIME from Barclays Center, hjemsted for BROOKLYN BOKSNING®.
In what could be considered one of the best performances of his career, Garcia (37-0, 30 KO s) won a unanimous decision by scores of 117-111 og 116-112 to gange.
“Vi uddannet til 10 uger, we had a great training camp and great sparring, we knew it was going to be a tough fight,” Garcia said.
Garcia took the lead early on, showcasing fundamentally sound technique and backing Broner into the ropes midway through the second frame. A flurry of body shots put Broner in trouble in the second round. While Broner was able to stay on his feet, Garcia emerged with another round in his favor.
“I think I controlled the fight in the early rounds and I kept the activity up,” Garcia said. “Broner is a great fighter and he has great skills but I was the superior fighter i aften.”
Garcia showed a combination of jabs, power punches and body shots all night long. He cornered Broner on the ropes with a huge left hook halfway through the third frame, and backed him in to the ropes again with 39 seconds remaining in the round. While Broner showed some movement in the fourth round and hit Garcia with a succession of 1-2 combinations, Garcia’s bodywork kept Broner at bay.
“It was part of the strategy to be a little busier in this fight than in the fights I have previously had,” Garcia said.
Broner (33-3, 24 KOS) looked to get back in the fight as he started the eighth round with a succession of sharp combinations, however his lack of consistency couldn’t withstand Garcia’s phenomenal body shots and overall punch output. Through eight rounds, Garcia had thrown a total of 500 punches, while Broner had just thrown 291.
“It was a good fight at the end of the day, I come to fight I come to win and I put my heart on the line,” Broner said. “But it was Tom & Jerry; I had to catch the mouse.”
Although Garcia had amassed an early lead from the first three-quarters of the fight, Broner continued to walk through heavy fire from Garcia in an attempt to connect with a big punch and change the tide of the fight. While he was able to ignite the crowd and land several big punches over the final three rounds, none of it proved to be enough to slow down Garcia.
“It was my timing, I’ve always said I have very good timing,” Said Garcia. “It is underestimated when you are outside the ring but once you get inside the ring with me, I’m a step ahead.”
Undefeated Jermall Charlo (26-0, 20 KOS) made his debut at 160-pounds with a stoppage of Argentine contender Jorge Sebastian Heiland (29-5-2, 16 KOS) in the co-featured event of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING. Den arbejdsnedlæggelse kom på 2:13 of the fourth round after Charlo delivered a devastating left hook followed by a big right to end the fight.
Charlo, af Houston, Texas, dominated the pace from the beginning. He landed the sharper and more accurate punches throughout the fight, especially in the first round where he landed 50 percent of his power shots to Heiland’s 13 procent. Charlo’s straight right was his power weapon throughout the contest.
“I felt good at this weight. I was in good shape all camp,” Said Charlo. “I just had to keep my composure in the ring. That’s always something I have to work on and I was able to do it.
“After I dropped him the first time they said he fell on top of his ankle. That’s just part of the boxing game. I had to just stay consistent and get the work done.”
Heiland, af Buenos Aires, Argentina, had issues with his left leg after injuring his knee in the first round. His discomfort was clear in his awkward footwork and lack of power behind his punches. Referee Benjy Esteves had the doctor examine him twice throughout the fight, once before the third round and then again before the fourth.
“I turned my left knee in the first round, but I did not want to give up,” said Heiland. “Jeg forsøgte at give det min alle, but it was not my night. I had bad luck but I am going to work harder than ever to get back and get another opportunity to achieve my dream and win a world title.”
Charlo stayed focused on his game plan despite seeing his opponent injured. “Sometimes the injury can be a decoy, you never want to just jump in and think it’s part of his game plan,” Charlo said. “My coach told me to stay behind my jab like I did; continue to work and it’s going to come.”
With this win, Charlo becomes a mandatory challenger for the WBC Middleweight World Championship.
“I’m ready for anyone. I’m ready for whoever wants to fight me,” Charlo added. “Bring on the biggest names at 160. I’m the real Tommy Hearns. I feel it’s my turn and I’m going to go get it.”
Headlining the “SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING Prelims,” sværvægter Jarrell Miller (19-0-1, 17 KOS), af Brooklyn, N.Y., stopped former world title challenger Gerald Washington (18-2-1, 12 KOS) after eight-rounds.
Miller used his significant size advantage and effective power-punching to break down the former collegiate football player. Washington had some success early with his jab and body attack, but was not able to stay out of punching range of Miller
Washington surged in the sixth round with a series of power shots that staggered Miller, however the Brooklynite countered and further broke down Washington, who landed just 20% of his jabs overall.
Miller, who landed almost half of his power punches, continued the onslaught in the seventh and eight rounds, and while Washington was able to stay on his feet, he took enough punishment that his corner called the fight after the eighth round.
“I definitely felt the ring rust,” said Miller, who was making his third appearance on SHOWTIME. “Gerald was very tough. It was a very good fight that had me thinking. My power was there, but I couldn’t put it together the way I wanted to today.
“I took the hard way back coming in off of a layoff. Gerald definitely pushed me and motivated me. I had to rely on my brain and my power.
“I knew there would be a give and take in this fight. It’s one thing to fight when you have stamina, it’s another to fight when you’re tired. I was trying to outthink him.”
Ved indledningen anfald af “SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING Prelims” on Facebook Live, Irish sensation Katie Taylor (6-0, 4 KOS) stoppet Jasmine Clarkson (4-9) after three rounds of action in the latter fighter’s U.S. debut.
The Olympic Gold medalist was dominant from the outset, stalking her opponent around the ring and consistently trapping her in the corner. Taylor was effective with both hands and did most of her work to the head of Clarkson. After three rounds of damage, Clarkson’s corner stopped the bout and gave Taylor her first stateside win as a pro.
“It was a fantastic experience being my first time competing here in the U.S,” Said Taylor. “There were definitely some nerves before the fight. It was great to go in there and get a stoppage.
“I hope that I made some fans i aften. I loved hearing the Irish fans in the crowd. I hope that there will be even more next time I fight here. The more fights I have here in the U.S. det bedre.
“I thought I performed pretty well. I definitely got caught with a few silly shots. I could have been cleaner but overall it was a good performance. I felt good and strong. I’ll be ready to get back in there as soon as possible.”
Additional action saw former world champion Rau'shee Warren (15-2, 4 KOS) earn a unanimous decision victory over former champion McJoe Arroyo (17-2, 8 KOS) and became the mandatory challenger for the IBF Junior Bantamweight World Title.
Warren attacked the body throughout the bout and landed the cleaner, more effective punches over the 12-round contest. The judges concurred and gave him the decision by scores of 118-10 og 117-111 to gange.
“I would give myself a B+ for that performance,” said Warren. “I wanted to make sure to use my jab and I felt like it really helped me win the fight.
“I feel really good at this weight. Now it’s time for me to go get a strap. I haven’t been at this weight since the Olympics. I want to get these titles and then go down to 112 pounds for another title. First I want to take care of Jerwin Ancajas.”
Lørdagens fights will replay on Sunday, Juli 30 på 8:35 a.m. ET on SHOWTIME and on Mandag, Juli 31 på 10:30 p.m. OG/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME on DEMAND® og SHOWTIME ANYTIME®.

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday from Dream Hotel Downtown:

ADRIEN Brøner

“Just know that I’ll be ready på lørdag nat. I’m not worried about how much he’ll weigh when we step into the ring. I’m ready for anything.

“Camp was tough, but it was great. I did a lot of things differently and made sure that I was doing everything right. I made sure not to cut any corners this camp.

“This is going to be a great fight for boxing. I’ve done my due diligence. I’m going to take care of business. I just know myself and know what I’m capable of.

“Every fight is a must-win in this sport. There’s no fight you go into with a loss on your mind. I’m going to put on a show på lørdag.

“I laugh when people write me off. I’m used to being the underdog coming from where I come from. People don’t know what I’ve been through to get to this point. I’m blessed to be where I’m at. Lørdag night there will be a lot more room on the bandwagon.

“We’ll see who’s on the pound-for-pound list after Lørdag nat. We could have fought years ago but the time is now and I’m ready.

“I’m glad that the Garcia team took this fight as quickly as we did. I’ve been taking everything seriously in Colorado. I know Mikey will be ready too. Robert Garcia definitely has some confidence from beating me with Marcos Maidana. But Mikey is not Maidana.

“I just don’t feel like Mikey will be able to do anything to stop me from getting the victory. I’m sure he’s confident too. After I make it look easy, I want everyone to write about it and say something good.

“I can make anybody quit in the ring. Mikey is no different. If I execute and stay focused, don’t be surprised. Jeg er klar til denne kamp.

"Lørdag is going to be a special day for me. My birthday is i morgen. I’m almost 30. I want to dedicate this victory to my twin brother Andre. Seeing his smile will make it even more special for me.”

Mikey GARCIA

“I’m prepared to go 12 hard rounds with Adrien Broner. This is a high profile fight. Probably more than my other fights. It’s created a lot of buzz amongst fans and media. Everyone is anticipating a great fight. This is a great matchup that can take me to the next level.

“I don’t think that he’s going to be desperate but he knows that I’m not an easy opponent. That’s why he’s taken camp so seriously. I expect him to be at his best and be ready. He knows that if he beats me he can launch his career back to where it was.

“He’s a four-division world champion so clearly he has the skills. I need someone who is hungry and motivated to bring out the best in me. My main focus is getting the win by any means necessary.

“I’m going to lo look to box effectively and show that I’m the better fighter. We’re both smart fighters but neither of us will run from the other. When you have styles like ourselves, with two guys who like to exchange punches, you’re in for a great battle.

“I think Adrien will be fine with the weight. He’s a pro and he knows that he really has to make weight. He’s learned from his mistakes. Sometimes he jokes around but that’s just part of his character. He takes things a lot more seriously because he’s facing me.

“If I can get this win, I just want to keep moving forward and fulfilling my dreams. I want to be in huge fights consistently. This is a crossroads fight for both of us to get to that level.

“I’m very excited to be here. Brooklyn was very kind to me when I fought here last year. I expect the fans to be here and show up like they always do på lørdag. There are incredible boxing fans in New York.

“I’m here to prove that I’m back and stronger than ever. This is another opportunity to show the kind of fighter that I am. I won’t let Adrien Broner stand in my way. This is my chance to show the best version of myself.”

Charlo JERMALL

“I feel great and ready to make my debut at 160 pounds. Camp has gone smoothly. I’m ready to dominate this division like I did 154 pounds. My plan is to care of Heiland and then everything else will fall into line from there.

“This is a bigger, better and stronger version of Jermall Charlo. Everything has come together during camp. Ronnie Shields runs a great camp and I believe he’s continuing to bring the best out of me.

“I’m completely focused on this matchup. I know that I can’t get any of the big fights that I crave without taking care of Heiland. I’m going to break him down and if the knockout comes, I’ll make sure to take advantage.

“My hat is off to Adrien Broner and Mikey Garcia for bringing out all the fans and media for this great show. It’s a real thrill to be a part of this event.”

JORGE SEBASTIAN HEILAND

“I’m thankful to everyone who has welcomed me to New York. I’m happy to have this big opportunity and I’m 100 percent prepared for whatever Jermall Charlo brings. Jermall is a great fighter and I know that he is going to bring everything he has.

“I’ve had an amazing camp and I’ve never felt more prepared for an opportunity than this. I was very patient and I will take full advantage. My plan is to leave everything in the ring på lørdag.

“My team has been with me for a long time as I waited for this opportunity. Be ready because it’s going to be a battle and a great matchup på lørdag. You won’t want to miss it.”

GERALD WASHINGTON

“I came here to go to work. I’m going to shut that big mouth of his up. I hope someone is holding him accountable for all the words he’s been saying. You’re in there with a real one på lørdag nat. I’m going to welcome you to this game for real.

“I’m sure he’ll try to bring some extra pressure. I’m going to introduce him to a new class of boxing. I’ve taken a lot from my experiences in training camp with Wladimir Klitschko and in the ring with Deontay Wilder. You’ll see the difference på lørdag.

“I’m still growing in this sport. I’ve been learning on the job this whole time and each experience just means so much to me. I wanted to take on a tough undefeated fighter because I knew that it would make it a great fight.

“This is most definitely ending inside of the distance. I’m coming after him. I’m going to wear him out. Then it’s time to take him out.”

JARRELL MILLER

“If you don’t know who “Big Baby” is, you soon will. I’ve never seen anyone get knocked out and get praised for it, but that’s what people are doing for Washington. I’ve never been hurt in my life in the ring and I’ll prove it på lørdag.

“This guy said he’s going to introduce me to big-time boxing. I’ve been in front of huge crowds and I’ve come through with knockout wins. I’ll be more than ready på lørdag nat.

“I’ve got big plans in this sport and this is only the start. Brooklyn fans loved their hometown heavyweights Mike Tyson and Riddick Bowe. I’m going to be next in that line and this city will love me.”

KATIE TAYLOR

“It’s incredible to be here in New York and to make my US debut on this incredible card. It’s truly a privilege.

“Training has gone so well and I’m so happy that SHOWTIME will stream the fight. It’s incredible for my fans overseas and all fans of women’s boxing.

“I hope to make a strong statement this weekend and I hope everyone enjoys the fight på lørdag nat. "

LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO for Mayweather Promotions

“This is definitely a must-see event på lørdag nat. Two great fighters, fighting at the right time, both in the prime of their careers. Det kommer til at være en stor show.

“One of the main reasons why boxing is going to the next level is because the people at the top have a vision of seeing great fights. We have another great example of that denne lørdag nat ved Barclays center

“Anytime you have a great event, it’s going to start with the undercard. We have a lot of young fighters looking to show off their skills. We’re thrilled to have our very own Richardson Hitchins and Kenny Robles competing in exciting undercard action.”

LOU Dibella, Formand for DiBella Entertainment

“A month from now there will be a huge event in Las Vegas, men two days from now there is the best fight card of the summer, the best fight of the summer, and a great show from top to bottom at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

“This is a great summer of boxing for SHOWTIME and it’s great to be in this room and see all the great attention that this fight card is getting. This is one of the best representations that we can have of our sport. This is one of the most stacked cards I’ve ever been involved with.

“There are a lot of good reasons to get a ticket and come to Barclays Center på lørdag nat. There will be a strong Irish presence on the card Lørdag with both Katie Taylor and Noel Murphy entering the ring.”

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Executive VP & General Manager, SHOWTIME Sports

"Lørdag is a testament to SHOWTIME’s commitment to boxing and boxing fans. We’ve worked hard to deliver the most important bouts from around the world. We have three separate telecasts, five fights, across two continents.

“We will also be streaming Katie Taylor’s U.S. debut. People know Katie from reputation alone, and we thought it was important to have her fight seen. The heavyweight fight between Gerald Washington and Jarrell Miller is another one that deserves to be seen and I think it could be the fight that steals the show.

“The main event has two of the brightest young stars in boxing. They both feel like they’ve been on this stage for a while. You know their resumes and you have to give them all of the credit in the world for taking this fight. Neither had to take this fight, but it will be one of the most exciting matchups of the summer.

“We have had 19 live presentations and 15 world title fights so far and we’re proud of what we’ve done accomplished so far. Boxing has had a great year and much of that has been carried by SHOWTIME boxing. That will continue denne lørdag."

BRETT YORMARK, CEO of Brooklyn Sports & Underholdning

“This card is our fourth major card this year. It’s been an incredible year for BROOKLYN BOXING. We’ve made a commitment to bring the best boxing to the borough. With all of our partners help, we have been able to accomplish that.

“We welcome both of these fighters back to Brooklyn. They’ve both built fan bases and we’re excited to see both of them back in the building and in the ring på lørdag.

“The whole night of boxing is going to be incredible. I welcome Jermall Charlo to Brooklyn, your brother had a great night in April and I’m sure you will follow in his footsteps.”
