Mashantucket, Conn. (April. 17, 2016) – WBC Featherweight World Champion Gary Russell Jr. retained his title with a remarkable TKO of Irishman Patrick Hyland Lördagon SHOWTIME from Fox Theater at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Conn. I co-funktionen, Jose Pedraza defended his IBF Junior Lightweight title with a unanimous decision over Stephen Smith.

 

Kvällens event was a family affair with Russell Jr. working his brother Antonio’s corner during kvällens undercard and boxing’s Smith brothers, including current WBO Super Welterweight World Champion Liam Smith, cheering from the crowd.

 

A relentless Russell brought the main event to a quick halt by registering three knockdowns in the second round, the last of which forced referee Danny Schiavone to end the contest at 1:33. Från den första klockan, Washington, D.C. native came out swinging with his trademark hand speed and dangerous power. Russell, en Southpaw, successfully broke down—and knocked out—Hyland with multiple vicious right hooks.

 

“We stuck to the game plan. We stayed sharp,” said Russell Jr., som förbättrar sitt rekord till 27 vinner, one loss, 15 knockouts.

 

“I’m ready to fight anyone in the division – Santa Cruz, Lee Selby. Vi är redo. But what I really want is [Vasyl] Lomachenko. I don’t care if he moves up to 147 pounds. I will go anywhere to get that fight,” Russell said.

 

“There aren’t many fighters who you instantly know are special,” said SHOWTIME Sports expert analyst Steve Farhood. “The combination of Gary Russell’s hand speed and accuracy instantly shows us that he’s special. That was plainly evident i kväll and at times his hand speed was frightening.”

 

Pedraza (22-0, 12 Kos) remained disciplined and came out victorious during his second IBF 130-pound world title defense. A combination of timing, hand speed and good defense allowed the Puerto Rican native to dominate the 12-round championship fight.

 

“This definitely was a tough fight but the training really came to advantage in this fight,” Pedraza told SHOWTIME Sports reporter Jim Gray. “I knew he was a tough fighter so I was always aware.”

 

“I had better focus i kväll. I had a better training camp,” said Pedraza, referring to his controversial split decision win over Edner Cherry two fights ago. “I knew that Stephen Smith was a great fighter and even after the knockdown, we were very cautious not to rush in.”

 

“Pedraza won i kväll with different weapons. Mostly right hands to the head,"Sade Farhood. “I had the fight even after eight rounds and once Pedraza dropped Smith in the ninth, he gained momentum that he never lost and he pulled away. It was an impressive performance but also an important one because it erased a lot of the negative criticism Pedraza received in his controversial win over Edner Cherry.”

 

Pedraza was the more accurate fighter, landning 50 percent of his power punches over the 12-round bout. The Sniper was able to pick his spots and pocket rounds once he figured out the distance. Smith had his moments, but wasn’t active enough.

 

Brian Custer var värd för SHOWTIME-utsändningen, med Mauro Ranallo kallar åtgärden, Hall of Fame-analytiker Al Bernstein och tidigare tvåfaldig världsmästare Paulie Malignaggi kommentera och Jim Gray rapportering. I den spanska samsändning, Alejandro Luna kallade slag-för-slag och tidigare världsmästare Raul Marquez fungerade som färgkommentator. Den verkställande producenten av SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING var David Dinkins Jr. med Bob Dunphy riktande.

NEW YORK (April 13, 2016) – WBC fjäderlätta mästaren Gary Russell Jr. (26-1, 15 Kos), av Capitol Heights, Md., and Irish contender Patrick Hyland (31-1, 15 Kos), of Dublin, faced off at the final press conference Onsdag at Highline Ballroom in New York, as they approach denna lördagens Featherweight World Title fight live on Showtime® from the Fox Theater in Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, CT.
Den Showtime MÄSTERSKAP BOXNING® telecast begins live at 11 p.m. OCH/8 p.m. PT on SHOWTIME with IBF Junior Lightweight World Championship clash between unbeaten Puerto Rican Jose Pedraza (21-0, 12 Kos) and mandatory challenger Stephen Smith (23-1, 13 Kos), of Liverpool, England.
Here’s what the fighters had to say at Onsdagens final press conference.
GARY RUSSELL JR.
(On Patrick Hyland…)
“Först och främst, I gotta tip my hat off to him. I heard him say he was being trained by his father. Me and my younger brothers are also trained by my dad. My father is my favorite superhero, so it is very hard to deal with a situation like this and to bounce back and to grind and put all the hard work and effort into it after all the heartache and loss, I gotta tip my hat off to him for that.
I know that anytime you have a fighter that trains for six to eight weeks and prepares for no one else but you, is a dangerous fight. Han är lång, han är lång, but we can take him. We’re going to handle it.”
(On returning from injury…)
“Jag mår bra. Jag är redo; I put the work in at the gym. Like I said earlier, I got cussed out several times and sometimes I left the gym feeling like the worst fighter ever. Men, just nu, we’re ready and we’re prepared to invest in my ability.”
(On what it means to have his brother Antonio on the card he’s headlining…)
“It means a lot. I’m looking forward to it. I’m actually more looking forward to watching my brother compete than my own fight. I will definitely be working his corner in that fight. It means a lot for us to be able to pass this information down from generation to generation and watch it grow and watch us build as a family and as a unit. It’s amazing.’
“He definitely has the potential to be the best. Him as well as Antuanne, who is now on the 2016 Olympic team. It’s all information passed down from generation to generation. I feel as though they definitely have the ability to be better than me. I would want them to be anyway.”
(On what he needs to win the fight…)
“I need to maintain control of the fight, close the distance and maintain the jab. Complete dominance; I want to touch the body early. He likes to move a lot, so we’re going to cut all that down.”
(On potential future opponents…)
“God willing, everything goes right come April 16, we would love to unify with Lee Selby. If I had my choice, I would go with Lee Selby first to unify. Immediately after that, I want Leo Santa Cruz and after that I need Lomachenko.
“I don’t care where [Lomachenko] moves. He can lose his next 10 slagsmål, but before my career’s done he has to see me.”
PATRICK HYLAND
(On what gives him the sense of satisfaction in boxing…)
“To fight for the WBC title is everything I’ve dreamed of since I was a kid and all of the hard work that I have put in to get to this position to fight for it. I am happy and I am just living for it now for Lördag natt.”
(On being the first Irish boxer since Barry McGuigan to hold a featherweight world title…)
“It’s a whirlwind and it’s great. I’m just a local lad from Johnstown in Dublin and to be fighting on the big stage and to be fighting for a major world title, and again to be named the second featherweight ever to win a world title would be just amazing; a real dream come true for myself.”
(On Gary Russell…)
“I know he’s got fast hands. He’s a great southpaw and a great boxer so I have to be at the best of my ability på lördag night for that. I worked on a game plan in the gym to counter his hand speed and it all has to come together on fight night. I can do all this and say all that, but I just have to perform på lördag night and put it in by doing everything I’ve worked on to become champion.”
Jose Pedraza
(På träningsläger…)
“I am feeling really good, we’re in the last stretch of conditioning. It was a very long and intense training camp but we saw improvements in my abilities. I have been waiting a long time for this day to come and we are going to demonstrate to Smith that I am a weapon.
(On Stephen Smith…)
“Smith is a very good boxer, he has a lot of abilities and intelligence. He’s a boxer with very good defense, but we already utilize a variety of strategies to be able to neutralize all of his abilities.”
(On what he plans to demonstrate på lördag…)
“With my abilities, såsom Lördag, I will demonstrate that I am above Smith and that I am at the level of what I am, a champion. Övergripande, I just want to put on a show and I hope that the fan base will enjoy this great card.”
(On what he learned from fighting Edner Cherry…)
“I learned what I have always said and what I have always done to this very day, which is never watching. I never watch too many videos of my opponent because on the day of the fight he could be a completely different fighter and I think that is what occurred then. Aside from that, he utilized a great strategy.”
(On his thoughts on other Puerto Rican boxers…)
“Actually I am a world champion just like Rocky Martinez; there are many Puerto Rican prospects. Like [Felix] Verdejo but I don’t consider him as a world title contender just yet. He hasn’t fought with a boxer of championship caliber but he is currently among the top fighters in Puerto Rico.”
(On other fights he may be interested in at 130 pounds…)
“I have always said that the less Puerto Ricans I fight, desto bättre. If it is the last option, I will fight with Puerto Ricans too but aside from that Rocky [Martinez] the world champ, there’s Francisco Vargas, [Javier] Fortune, to name a few that are at the top of my list.”
STEPHEN SMITH
(On his first time fighting in the U.S….)
“Jag är glad. If you want to make a name in boxing, then you’re going to do it in the states and that’s what I plan on doing by becoming a world champion Saturday.”
(On what he knows about Pedraza…)
“Bra, not quite a lot. I know his name from the amateur days. He’s well established, he’s an Olympian and he’s a talented man. To fight somebody consists of winning or not, it goes beyond tactics, beyond style and beyond skillset really. I believe I have what it takes to fight anyone and nothing will keep me from becoming a world champion.”
(On what he needs to do to get the victory…)
“It can be a different type of fight; we know he likes to switch it up and box from different stances. He’s obviously talented so it’s going to take a different set from each way but we know what to expect. I’ve gone over everything with my trainer Joe Gallagher and we’re ready to go.”
(On his brothers Liam and Callum being champions and what it could mean to potentially join them…)
“It’s special. Two weeks ago Liam and Callum won a European world title and it just gives me the confidence, the spirit to hike. I’m in a really good place mentally and I couldn’t be feeling better going into it. After my boot camp going successfully, it just makes you feel better going ahead to become a world champion.”
(On UK champions on the rise in the past year…)
“There’s a lot of history there and for myself and my family, so we do what we’ve always wanted to do and we’re looking to just keep moving forward.”
TRAINER JOE GALLAGHER
(På träningsläger…)
“It was good. Obviously it boiled up to Callum’s win. There’s a good momentum. Callum and then Stephen has his world title opportunity. It’s been a slow burning rise with Stephen but he’s got, as I call it ‘his World Cup final’ — something that is going to take heart and strength. His strength is going very well. Pedraza is a very good fighter, good orthodox, good southpaw, he can mix it up and we’re prepared for whatever style he wants to bring på lördag.”
(On the process of preparing for a fighter like Pedraza…)
“It’s a nightmare. It’s hard enough when you’re fighting a quality orthodox or a quality southpaw, of which he is, but not only that. He can also box on the back foot and on the front foot so we’re varying sparring partners, we’re mixing up the sparring in between the rounds, switching stances, and whichever way Pedraza wants to fight at the end of the night, I’m sure we’ll have an answer for.”
(On how he feels the fight will play out…)
“I think that’s all up to Pedraza, looking back at a few of his fights, he boxes slow and gets off to a good start but then he seems to lose his way a little in rounds. When you watch him against [Andrey] Klimov, he started out very well, put him under manners very quickly and had him nearly beat by the fourth round but [Andrey] managed to stay in very well and boxed really well. He got to the middle rounds, lost his way a little bit, switched southpaw, so either way it’s going to be fascinating. We’ve just got to make sure we don’t get caught to early when he’s quick and he’s sharp and he’s trying to put manners in Stephen Smith and then take him into the deep waters like Edner Cherry.”
(His prediction…)
“Stephen Smith. Possibly by knockout. LÅT BLI, definitely by knockout.”

Wilder Defends His Title Next Lördag, Jan. 16,
Live på SHOWTIME® Från Barclays Center i Brooklyn

Sports Emmy® Award-Winning Writer Mark Kriegel meets in New York with undefeated WBC World Champion Deontay Wilder, as the American heavyweight champ looks to continue his path to heavyweight history by putting his imprint on the division one step at a time.

 

“I’m just a different fighter than these guys in the heavyweight division. My athletic skills, the way I move in the ring, min hastighet, the power that I have, the awkward style that I have. Do I need to say more? These guys know I am very serious about this. Nobody wants to fight [mig], they already know what the results will be.’’

 

Wilder is determined to prove he’s the No. 1 i världen. His current focus is his third title defense against Polish brawler Arthur klämmer, but he doesn’t dismiss the constant chatter about title unification.

 

“Keep fighting, sooner or later celebrate. Keep fighting, keep winning, keep knocking guys out. Once you keep doing those things, you can’t be denied, no matter what. I think unifying the titles … Once you have that strong American heavyweight to unify the division, to hold all the titles, that’s when I feel true stardom will come. Once I unify the division, I think it’ll be a dramatic change.’’

*Titta Molina vs Stacey Anderson kampen video *
För omedelbar publicering

Bethlehem, PA (Juni 25 2015)–Lördag kväll på Sands Casino Resort Betlehem, Christian Molina ser att stanna obesegrad när han tar på Justin Johnson veteran i en 6-runda Jr. Weltervikt skjutningen som kommer att ingå i en 10 skjutningen kort.

Molina har etablerat sig som en av de mest populära fighters i Lehigh Valley på grund av hans spännande stridsteknik och engagerande personlighet utanför ringen.

Molina har arbetat mycket hårt som han förbereder sig för ett steg upp bout mot Johnson, som trots sitt register över 6-8, är 4-4-2 mot 10 obesegrade fighters som han har varit i ringen med.

“Träningen har varit bra. Just nu är jag bara ute efter att göra vikt och vara redo för lördag,” sade 27 åriga Molina.

Molina vet att han måste vara på sitt bästa som Johnson har inte bara erfarenhet men också har vissa fysiska fördelar.

“Jag vet att han är 2 eller 3 inches högre då är jag. Vi har några bra spelplaner och gör vad vi måste göra för att vinna. Jag vet att han är en bra fighter.”

Såsom tidigare nämnts, Molina har byggt en stor fanskara i området och de kommer att vara borta för att heja sin man på denna lördag.

“Många människor kommer att stödja mig. Jag älskar verkligen det och det hjälper mig i ringen. Jag tror att efter ett par segrar, Jag kan bli en mycket stor dragning som jag vet att Puerto Rican kampen fans får bakom bra fighters. Detta är min första sex runda skjutningen och jag vet de stora slagsmål är ännu inte kommit.”

Det står ännu mer om hur Molina har fastnat för fansen när han kom hit från Puerto Rico bara sju år sedan.

“Jag kom från San Sebastian, Puerto Rico i 2008 och gick till Mendez Liciago High School och examen därifrån 2006. Jag kom hit med mig och ville ha en framtid i Amerika. Jag arbetar i ett lager för att stödja min boxning. Jag vet ingenting är lätt, Jag kommer att fortsätta att arbeta hårt och vara den bästa fighter ute och förhoppningsvis en dag, Jag kan gå tillbaka till Puerto Rico och slåss hemma.”

“Ingenting är enkelt men jag vill tacka alla som har stöttat mig.”
