LAMONT PETERSON
“Mér finnst frábært. Ég er nú þegar nálægt því að þyngd. Ég er ánægður og borða allt að fimm sinnum á dag. Mér finnst sterkur og ég er tilbúinn fyrir þennan bardaga.
“Ég verð að líta á þetta sem í raun bara annar stór baráttunni. Þegar þú ert á the toppur, þú reynir ekki að gera of mikið af hverju berjast. Við vitum hvað er í húfi. Ég veit að þegar ég halda það einfalt, það er þegar ég virkar best.
“Núna líður betur en nokkru sinni fyrr líkami minn. Ég er ánægð með allt sem er farið á í búðunum og ég held að þú getur séð það í líkama minn.
“Ég hef alltaf æft erfitt frá fyrsta degi sem ég kom hingað sem barn. Sem hefur verið dreypt í mér þar unga aldri og það er bar mig um feril minn.
“Allt sem ég geri er að D.C. Ég er að reyna að fá eins mikið viðurkenningu fyrir þetta svæði er besta leiðin sem ég get. Það er það sem við öll leitast við í þessari ræktina. Þetta er stærsta einn sem hefur verið á dagskrá um hríð og ég er tilbúin til að koma með það heim.
“Það verður auðveldara og auðveldara því fleiri Championship berst ég er í. Ég var í formi fyrir þeim öllum, en ég setti örugglega meiri þrýsting á mig þegar ég var ungur. Ég hef bætt í hvert skipti og nú líður eins og ég sé í raun á fullkomna stað á ferlinum.”
ANTHONY PETERSON
“Ég hef til að gera yfirlýsingu. Ég finn aldrei ánægð með ákvörðun. Ég held að það er gott vegna þess að ég þarf að vera sérstakur undir björtu ljósin.
“Allir vita að ég vil fara að líkamanum. Þú veist að ég ætla að láta hann vinna svo þú getur litið út fyrir mig að brjóta andstæðinginn mína niður á Janúar 20.
“Ég hef verið að sparring með ýmsum reynda bardagamenn á síðasta ári og þeir hafa hjálpað mér út, jafnvel meðan ég hef ekki haft berjast. Ring ryð er allt andlegt. Það er komið að þér að setja verkið í.
“Ég hef ekki fengið slagsmál sem ég vil, en ég ætla alltaf standa við leik minn og standa við iðn mína. Ég veit að ef ég þrauka, það mun virka fyrir mig.
“Ég veit að ég elska þessa íþrótt. Ég veit að á endanum mun ég vera heimsmeistari. Ég trúi á framtíð mína og ég hlakka til stóru átök.
“Það er hvetjandi að horfa Lamont gera hlutur hans og ná árangri. Hann er að fara að slá Errol Spence, jafnvel þótt fólk trúi því ekki. Ég held að hann er að fara að hugsa um viðskipti.”
BARRY HUNTER, Trainer Peterson er
“Það hefur verið langur mala í búðunum fyrir þessar krakkar. Þegar ég hugsa til baka um hve lengi við höfum verið í þessari ferð, Ég er mjög stoltur af þeim. Þau voru 9 og 10 þegar þeir komu fyrst inn í ræktina.
“Við höfum ekki þyngd skrímsli til að takast á við að berjast á veltivigtar. Lamont er á frábærum stað andlega og líkamlega. Ég hlakka til að sprengiefni berjast.
“Þegar þú horfir á Spence, Brook baráttunni, snemma á Brook hafði mikla velgengni. Niður teygja Errol leggja vilja hans og braut Brook niður. Ég veit Errol vel og ég hef þjálfað hann. Hann hefur sterka vilja. Hann er ekki mikill á einu svæði, En hann er góður í fullt af sviðum. Þetta er annars konar strákur hann er frammi. Hjarta er eitthvað Lamont er hvergi nærri stutt á. Ég held að þetta gæti byrjað á taktísk, og þá snúa í stríð.
“Starf mitt er að fara í það með hluta af áætlun, en það er alltaf um leiðréttingar fyrir okkur. Hvað Errol koma að borðinu, Við munum reikna það út og setja allt í gang.
“Þessi síðustu viku er mikið af leiknum áætlun og andlega undirbúnings. A einhver fjöldi af bardagamenn þjálfa ekki hugann. Þú þarft að þjálfa hugann jafnvel meira svo en í líkamanum. Við verðum að vera tilbúin fyrir hvert atburðarás.
“Ég held að ef Anthony fer í það og gerir starf sitt að það eru nokkrar lausar titlar á 140 pund og það er lag fyrir okkur. Við viljum fá ól um lendar hans og við munum standa frammi fyrir neinum að fá það.
“Lamont, ásamt Anthony, Gary Russell Jr., Jarrett Hurd og Gervonta Davis, hefur verið að halda niðri box á þessu sviði í langan tíma. Það væri mikið að koma þessu Titill Heim. There ert a einhver fjöldi af ungu Lamont Petersons á þessu sviði sem vilja ná þessu stigi. Það væri leiðarljós ljós skínandi niður og sýna þessu fólki leið.”

Hér er það sem Spence og þjálfari hans, Derrick James, þurfti að segja Þriðjudagur úr R&R Boxing Club í Dallas:
ERROL Spence JR.
“Allir sem hafa séð mig berjast fyrir veit að það mun ekki vera leiðinlegur bardagi. Jafnvel ef það er einhliða, það er alltaf að fara að vera aðgerð pakkað. Janúar 20 er að fara til vera a gríðarstór berjast og ég ætla að setja á a mikill árangur. Ég ætla að ráða.
“Verja titil minn í Brooklyn verður sérstakur. Ég hef fjölskyldu í New York líka svo það þýðir mikið að ég ætla að vera fær um að verja á Barclays Center. New York er box borg svo þeir raunverulega þakka meistarar og vita íþrótt.
“Ég er spenntur að vera að berjast við mann eins Lamont Peterson. Ég ætla ekki að berjast reglulega engum nafn bardagamaður. Hann er að fara að koma best út úr mér því hann er sannur bardagamaður. Það gerir alla reynslu enn betri.
“Efstu í íþróttum er í raun upp fyrir grípa núna og ég er að koma að því. Mér er alveg sama hver ég þarf að takast eða þar, Ég ætla að vera Last Man Standing. Þess vegna höfum við öll fá inn í þessa íþrótt. Ég er mjög öruggur í sjálfum mér.
“Lamont og ég bæði hafa stór hjörtu og ég held að allir geti séð það í hringnum. Við erum bæði snjöll bardagamenn þannig að það gæti verið smá tilfinningu út áður en við fáum að fara. En ég búast við það til að vera Dogfight.
“Þetta samfélag í Dallas er mjög mikilvægt fyrir mig. Þegar ég var
alast upp hér voru engin fagleg Boxer frá hér að ég gæti litið á sem fyrirmynd. Þegar þú hefur úrræði til að gefa til baka, það er mikilvægt að gera það. Ég elska að vera í ræktinni og aðstoða virkilega ungu krakkar og gefa þeim eitthvað að stefna að til.”
DERRICK JAMES, Spence er Trainer
“Errol lítur mjög vel út í þjálfun. Hann hefur mikla áherslu. Hann er mjög smáatriði stilla og fært inn á að vera besta útgáfan af sjálfum sér. Ákvörðunin á andliti hans lætur mig vita að hann vilji fara ekki steinn unturned og ganga úr skugga um að allt gengur leið sína á Fight Night. Við vinna baráttuna í ræktina ekki í hring.
“Errol hefur að halda þetta hugarfar að fara inn í þessari baráttu og víðar, og hann veit að. Aðlaðandi einn titil er ekki það sem hann vill. Hann vill vera óumdeildur welterweight meistari. Hann er mjög markviss og ég tel að hann muni ná því markmiði. Hann tekur ekki nei fyrir svar. Hann er að fara að ýta sér til takmörk og ná markmiðum sínum.
“Lamont Peterson er mjög fyndinn og greindur í hringnum. Hann er sterkur strákur líka. Hann færir það andlega æðruleysi sem þú þarft til að ná árangri. Við höfum til að koma til þessa baráttu 100 prósent og einbeitt allan tímann. Ef við gerum ekki, við getur komið upp stutt.
“Ég verð að vera bestu útgáfu af sjálfri mér líka. Ég reyni að fá betri og betri í hvert berjast og á hverjum degi í ræktina. Ég veit að ég þarf að vera á toppur af öllu sem gæti gerst. Barry Hunter er sterkur, greindur þjálfari sem koma mikið að borðinu. Lamont hefur frábært lið. Það er ánægjulegt og heiður að takast þá í hringnum.”

Hér er það sem bardagamenn hafði að segja um janúar þeirra 20 matchups og fleira:
ROBERT Páska (20-0, 14 Kos) – Gerð þriðja varnir IBF Léttur heimsmeistaratitilinn
“Þessi bardagi getur ákveðið að setja góða tón fyrir mig í 2018. Ég ætla að vera að gera yfirlýsingu þessari baráttu. Síðustu þrjú berst mínar sem ég hef ekki fengið knockout. Ég ætla að vera að gefa aðdáendum mínum og berjast fans góð sýning.
“Ég ætla að nota seilingar og lengd og eyðileggja þessa strákur frá úti. Allt sem ferill minn sem ég hef verið að berjast styttri krakkar. Sérhver stutt strákur er ekki að berjast við það sama. En þú færð í hring og þú finnur hann út og gera breytingar.
“Það er ekkert í lagi að ég þarf að undirbúa sig fyrir með Fortuna. Ég tek hvert berjast sama. Sérhver bardagamaður berst öðruvísi þannig að þú færð í það, finnst hann út og gera breytingar sem þú ferð með. Ég hef ekki áhyggjur af honum að vera southpaw. Ég hef staðið frammi nóg af lefties á ferli mínum og í áhugamenn. Það er ekkert vandamál á öllum.
“Ég held að það sem gerir mig meira hættulegri Boxer í þessari baráttu er að hafa hæð sem ég geri og gata kraft og hraða og hugarfari sem. hugarfari mitt er að ég ætla ekki að fara í það að leika í kring með honum. Ég er tilbúinn til að eyða.
“Markmið mín fyrir 2018 eru að ná fleiri titla og fá sameiningu lota. Við áttum nokkur meistarar í þyngd flokki, en það virðist sem enginn er tilbúinn að berjast við aðra meistarar. Við erum tilbúin til að gera hvað sem það tekur, berjast hver hefur titla. Við erum tilbúin til að handtaka alla þá titla þegar aðrir krakkar eru tilbúnir til að skrá þig fyrir átök.”
JAVIER FORTUNA (33-1-1, 23 Kos) – Fyrrum Super Featherweight heimsmeistari
“Undirbúningur minn fyrir þessari baráttu er að fara mjög vel. Ég hef verið að vinna í Dóminíska lýðveldinu, en ég hef komið aftur til Boston til að ljúka þjálfun minni. Núna erum við á 75% og að krækja í 100%. Ég mun vera alveg tilbúinn þegar það er kominn tími til að berjast. Undirbúningur minn og stefna mín gera mig hættulegri strákur.
“Ég sé þetta eins og engin önnur berjast sem ég hef haft áður, vegna þess að hvert andstæðingurinn er öðruvísi. Allir hafi eigin sess þeirra á þessu stigi, eitthvað sem virkar fyrir þá. sess hans er að hann er hávaxinn. Hann notar það til framdráttar. En það er ekkert sem ég get ekki sigrast. Ég hef barist á hæð krakkar áður.
“Ég vil frekar andstæðinga mína til að vera hærri. Það spilar inn í það sem ég er fær um að gera. Ég hef aldrei haft vandamál með hærri andstæðinga. Abner Cotto (5-10) er eitt af stóru krakkar sem ég barðist. Ég barðist í Chicago og setja á a mikill árangur. (Fortuna skorað 5th umferð KO gegn Cotto)
“Markmið mitt fyrir 2018 er að berjast við efstu Elite bardagamenn í þyngd bekknum mínum, og ég er að reyna að verða nefnd sem einn af þeim bestu í íþróttinni. Ég vil virkilega að vinna annan heiminum titil í öðru þyngd bekknum. Það væri stærsta stund svo langt á mínum ferli til að fá annað heimsmeistaratitilinn.”
MARCUS BROWNE (20-0, 15 Kos) – Top 10 sæti á 175 £. (WBC, WBO, WBA & IBF)
“Andstæðingurinn minn (Francy Ntetu, 17-1, 4 Kos) lítur út eins og a varanlegur, töffari. Ég sé þessi bardagi sé mjög spennandi fyrir aðdáendur eins lengi og það endist. Ég sá smá borði á honum. Ég veit að hann kemur alltaf í þjórfé-toppur lögun, og ég heyri hann er samræmi í frammistöðu hans í hringnum. I just know I’m going to have to be sharp on Jan. 20.
“Það er alltaf heiður að berjast hér heima og á Barclays Center. Það er sérstakt að vera fær um að framkvæma í framan af þessum aðdáendur og ég get ekki beðið eftir því að setja á góðum árangri aðdraganda Spence vs. Peterson berjast.
“Þessi bardagi gæti sett mig í stöðu sem ég þarf að vera í til að berjast fyrir titli heimsins. Ég get ekki verið ábótavant á nokkurn hátt. Ég verð að koma út sterk með miklum árangri frá upphafi til enda og fara eflaust í það.
“Fyrir 2018, Ég vil verða heimsmeistari. Ég er ákveðinn Tomake það gerast á þessu ári. That vision starts on Jan. 20 at Barclays Center against Francy Ntetu.”
Francy NTETU (17-1, 4 Kos) – Barðist David Benavidez á Barclays Center í júní 2015
“I know Marcus Browne is probably taking me lightly and thinks he will simply go through me. Ég vona það er málið, vegna þess að það er að fara að vera áfall fyrir hann, aðdáendur og hans lið þegar ég tek hann blettur í lína fyrir a titli. Ég vil að takast Eleider Alvarez í heimabæ okkar Montreal eftir að ég fá þetta vinna.
“Fyrri berjast minn á Barclays Center gegn núverandi WBC meistari David Benavidez var augljóslega mjög slæmt ákvörðun dómarans að stöðva í baráttunni, sérstaklega þegar ég var að vinna umferð og Benavidez voru hægja. Ég var að fá sterkari á meðan hann var að fá sterkari.
“Ég hef aldrei verið sárt og aldrei dottið í baráttunni. Ég vil Marcus að skora sjálfur og sjá hvort hann geti gert eitthvað sem enginn annar hefur. Ég er spenntur að vera í baráttunni af þessari stærðargráðu. Marcus, það er kominn tími fyrir okkur að gefa stuðningsmönnunum það sem þeir vilja!”
ADAM Kownacka (16-0, 13 Kos) – Upphaflega frá Póllandi & berjast af Brooklyn
“Þessi barátta er að fara að vera annað skref í átt að verða meistari. Ég veit að ég er að fara að vinna mjög hart og sanna að ég er að halda áfram að byggja á sigri mínum gagnvart Szpilka. Frá myndband sem ég hef séð á Iago Kiladze (26-1, 18 Kos), Hann flytur mikið, þannig að ég ætla að þurfa að skera burt hringinn. Hvað sem hann færir hringinn, Ég hef svarið fyrir.
“Þrjú ár í röð núna sem ég hef verið að berjast í janúar. Ég elska að byrja á því ári sterk. Konan mín og ég reyndar byrjaði hefð “Kownacki Family Run” á miðnætti on New Year’s Eve. Þar sem ég er alltaf að undirbúa að berjast um áramótin, við mynstrağur við might eins og heilbrigður að hafa gaman á meðan við vinnum. Svo, Við munum hafa sumir vinir koma fram og hlaupa nokkra kílómetra með okkur um hverfið á flugelda. Það er gaman og hjálpar að fá mér tilbúinn.
“Á endanum, Ég er að leita að verða bestur í þungavigtar deild. The endir takmark fyrir þetta ár er að verða heimsmeistari. En fyrsta skrefið er að taka Iago Kiladze mjög alvarlega. I can’t look past Janúar 20 núna. Ég hafa a sterkur andstæðingur sem vilja áskorun og gera mig að betri bardagamaður í the langur hlaupa.”
Iago KILADZE, Þriðji bardagi þar færa allt til þungavigtar deild (2-0, 2 Kos)
“I feel great and my training has been terrific. Þjálfari minn er Freddie Roach nú. Ég sparred með (IBF Cruiserweight Champion) Murat Gassiev þrisvar sinnum undanfarið sem er mikill undirbúningur fyrir mig. I believe I can knockout Kownacki but if I have to go the distance I’m prepared for that. Hvort heldur, Ég ætla að sigra. Ég finn að ég er meira þjálfaður bardagamaður og það mun sýna í hringnum.
“Þetta er frábær berjast fyrir feril minn og frábær byrjun fyrir 2018. I know that if I win this fight I’ll be that much closer to a world title opportunity.
“Markmið mitt er að vera heimsmeistari í lok 2018. I want to continue improving and learning under Freddie and with his guidance I’m confident of success.”

Hér er það sem blaðamannafund þátttakendur höfðu að segja Miðvikudagur:
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 Janúar 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. Það var að læra að upplifa. 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, Ég er tilbúin til að fara. 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. Að mestu leyti, 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 er Trainer
“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, Trainer Peterson er
“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 Janúar 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, Forseti DiBella Skemmtun
“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 Janúar 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 Janúar 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 titill heimurinn berst. 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 ár. 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 Janúar 20.”
BRETT YORMARK, CEO of Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment
“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 Janúar 20.”

The event is presented by Premier Boxing Champions og vilja loft í beinni á Showtime (9 p.m. OG/6 p.m. PT) frá Barclays Center, the home of BROOKLYN BOXING™.
Because of inclement weather near his home in Miami, Ortiz was unable to travel to New York, but did offer his thoughts about the upcoming fight via telephone.
Miðar á viðburð í beinni, sem er kynntur með DiBella Skemmtun og TGB Tilboð, are on sale now and can be purchased at ticketmaster.com, barclayscenter.com eða með því að hringja 800-745-3000. Tickets can also be purchased at the American Express Box Office at Barclays Center. Group afslætti eru í boði með því að hringja 844-BKLYN-GP.
Hér er það sem þátttakendur höfðu að segja Miðvikudagur:
DEONTAY WILDER
“Ég er að best. I am the toughest heavyweight in the division. Ég er að 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, andlega og andlega. They are all scared of me.
“I’m the heavyweight in the division with real knockout power. I put grown men down easily. Á Nóvember 4, Ortiz is going down. Eftir það, 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. Núna, 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 Nóvember 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 ágætur, 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, Forseti DiBella Skemmtun
“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, þroskandi berst. Not just a big name against a nobody. Í raun, 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 Nóvember. 4, and we can’t wait.”

The 31-year-old Wilder (38-0, 37 Kos), the only reigning American heavyweight world champion, won his WBC title with a dominant 12-round unanimous decision over Bermane Stiverne on Jan. 17, 2015 -the birthday of legendary heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali.
Wilder, a Bronze Medal winner for the U.S. Olympic boxing team at the 2008 Beijing Games, has successfully defended the title five times. In his previous defense at Barclays Center, Wilder scored a memorable ninth-round knockout over Artur Szpilka back in Jan. 2016. In his most recent defense, Wilder, af Tuscaloosa, Ala. stopped Gerald Washington via fifth-round technical knockout before a hometown crowd at Legacy Arena in Birmingham on Febrúar. 25.
The 38-year-old Ortiz (27-0, 23 Kos), of Camaguey, Cuba by way of Miami, Fla., will make his SHOWTIME and Barclays Center debut when he meets Wilder for his first title shot. The hard-hitting southpaw turned pro seven years ago after defecting from Cuba and has since been steadily climbing the heavyweight ladder. He cemented his standing in the division with victories over veteran contenders Bryant Jennings, Tony Thompson and Malik Scott and is the No. 1-ranked contender by the WBC.
If Ortiz wins, he will become the first Cuban born fighter to win a heavyweight world championship.

BROOKLYN (Júlí 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 í aðalkeppni á Showtime Championship Boxing, Saturday on SHOWTIME from Barclays Center, heimili BROOKLYN hnefaleikum®.
In what could be considered one of the best performances of his career, Garcia (37-0, 30 Rothögg) won a unanimous decision by scores of 117-111 og 116-112 tvisvar.
“Við æfðum fyrir 10 weeks, 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 kvöld.”
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 högg, 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. The stöðvun kom á 2:13 of the fourth round after Charlo delivered a devastating left hook followed by a big right to end the fight.
Charlo, í 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 prósent. 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, í 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. “Ég reyndi að gefa það allt mitt, 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,” þungavigtar 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.”
Í opnun lota af “SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING Prelims” on Facebook Live, Irish sensation Katie Taylor (6-0, 4 Kos) hætt Jasmine Clarkson (4-9) after three rounds of action in the latter fighter’s U.S. Frumraun.
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 kvöld. 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. betri.
“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 tvisvar.
“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.”

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

Adrien BRONER

“Just know that I’ll be ready á laugardag nótt. 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 á laugardag.

“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. Laugardagur night there will be a lot more room on the bandwagon.

“We’ll see who’s on the pound-for-pound list after Laugardagur nótt. 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. Ég er tilbúinn fyrir þessari baráttu.

"Laugardagur is going to be a special day for me. My birthday is á morgun. 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 á laugardag. 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 £. Camp has gone smoothly. I’m ready to dominate this division like I did 154 £. 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 á laugardag.

“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 á laugardag. 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 á laugardag nótt. 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 á laugardag.

“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 á laugardag.

“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 á laugardag nótt.

“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 á laugardag nótt. "

LEONARD Ellerbe, Forstjóri Mayweather Promotions

“This is definitely a must-see event á laugardag nótt. Two great fighters, fighting at the right time, both in the prime of their careers. Það er að fara til vera a mikill sýning.

“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 laugardag nótt á 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, Forseti DiBella Skemmtun

“A month from now there will be a huge event in Las Vegas, en 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 á laugardag nótt. There will be a strong Irish presence on the card Laugardagur with both Katie Taylor and Noel Murphy entering the ring.”

STEPHEN Espinoza, Executive VP & General Manager, Showtime Sports

"Laugardagur 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. Frumraun. 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 laugardag."

BRETT YORMARK, CEO of Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment

“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 á laugardag.

“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.”
