HIDALGO, TEXAS (Maig 9, 2015) – Omar “Panterita” Figueroa (25-0-1, 18 KOs) remained undefeated as he put on an exciting show in front of a raucous hometown crowd and earned a unanimous decision over Ricky Burns (37-5-1, 11 KOs) on Premier Boxing Champions on CBS live from State Farm Arena in Hidalgo, Texas.

 

Figueroa was the sharper fighter who landed harder punches and was able to dictate the pace of the fight. Burns was deducted a point in both the eighth and 11º rounds by the referee for excessive holding. “Panterita” guanyat pels comptes de 116-110 dues vegades i 117-109.

 

In the first televised fight of the afternoon, British star Jamie McDonnell (25-2-1, 12 KOs) earned a narrow but unanimous decision over previously unbeaten Tomoki “El Mexicanito” Kameda (31-1, 19 KOs). McDonnell was knocked down for the first time in his career by a sharp right hand from Kameda in round three but quickly recovered to win by a score of 114-113 en els tres jutges’ targetes.

 

Here are what the fighters had to say after their bouts:

 

OMAR FIGUEROA

 

Fighting a fight like that, it takes a lot to go even four rounds, much less 12. With a fighter like that, leaning on you and using his weight on you it’s tough. I’m just glad I was in shape and didn’t let my fans down.

 

I’m a very offensive fighter, so the holding kind of slowed me down. I tried to do what I could and, thankfully, the judges saw that.

 

My hands are a little sore, but I really did hold back on my punches, especially because he has one of those European guards where he holds his hands up high and his elbows are exposed. I had to be careful going to the body because that’s how I hurt my hands most times, from hitting the elbows. I felt ridiculously strong at the new weight, but I didn’t think my hands would hold up, so I was holding back and trying to win the fight on points and if I could hurt him I would try to stop him.

 

He was punching me behind the head, so I felt like I had to do the same. If you want to play like that, I can play that game.

 

At the end of the fight, he came with a good body shot that hurt me a bit. That’s why I slowed down at the end. I have to give it to Ricky. He’s a tough fighter.

 

It’s time to rest up. I’ve been training since the beginning of the year and I deserve a little rest.

 

RICKY BURNS

 

We knew it was going to be a tough fight, but I didn’t agree with the deductions for holding. I thought he was holding as much as me and that’s why I had to tie him up.

 

We moved up in weight for this one but still had some trouble making weight, but I didn’t want to jeopardize my chance to fight in America.

 

I think it was his size that gave me problems more than anything. I don’t know what weight he was in that ring, but it was a lot bigger than me.

 

The plan was to try to stick to boxing for the first half of the fight, but once the size really took over I had to stand and exchange more than I would have liked. I couldn’t get him off of me. I’ve got no excuses, as I said the best man will win.

 

I always leave everything in the ring and that’s all I can do. I hope everyone who watched enjoyed the fight.

 

We’ve enjoyed the experience of being in the U.S., obviously the decision didn’t go our way which puts a damper on it, but overall everyone here in Texas has been great. I want to say a big thank you to everybody. I hope to back again.

 

JAMIE MCDONNELL

 

I felt in control all the way through. It was a great performance. I know I should have just boxed but I wanted to fight.

 

I didn’t think I was going to get the decision being abroad, but it’s more than spectacular to come out of here victorious. He’s a great, campió invicte.

 

His speed surprised me on the knockdown. I knew he was going to be fast, but I didn’t expect it like that. I didn’t see the shot and next thing I knew I was on the floor.

 

Hit and move, hit and move, that was the strategy. I remember being in there and thinking, ‘Man, this isn’t easy.I knew the crowd was going to go his way but it was a great experience.

 

It’s been a fantastic time being here in America. I’d like to see some familiar faces but it’s a new experience. I was up against it but I knew I could pull it off. I knew deep inside that I could do it.

 

I think I’m going to move up in weight. I want to catch the big fights before they’re gone.

 

Tomoki Kameda

 

I think I won the fight. I did enough to win. He did a lot to win the last rounds, but I did more over the fight. I don’t agree with the judges decision, but I respect it.

 

I knew he would get up after the knockdown because he’s a world champion. He’s a great fighter and I take my hat off to him, but I won the fight.

 

“Vull una revenja.”

PREMIER BOXING CHAMPIONS ON CBS FINAL PRESS CONFERENCE QUOTES & FOTOS

Feu clic a AQUÍ For Photos From Esther Lin/PBC on CBS

Live On CBS Sports Starting at 4 P.m. I/1 P.m. PT

HIDALGO, TEXAS (Maig 7, 2015) – Fight week for Lliga de Campions de Boxa a CBS continued Thursday as televised fighters Omar “Panterita” Figueroa, Ricky Burns, Tomoki “El Mexicanito” Kameda, Jamie McDonnelli Austin “No ha Dubte” Truita spoke to the media at the final press conference before their respective bouts taking placeDissabte, Maig 9 en la State Farm Arena.

 

Here are what the participants had to say Thursday:

 

OMAR FIGUEROA

 

This is the biggest fight of my career thus far. I have my brother on the undercard and it’s here at home. Això és el. I think it’s great for people from the Valley to get a huge card like this here. They haven’t seen this since Vasquez vs. Marquez, so I hope to bring that level of boxing back to the Valley.

 

I definitely feel more pressure but the good kind of pressure. I’ve thrived on pressure my whole life. I was a pitcher for a long time. I was a closer. So I’ve been in situations where it’s bases loaded and we’re down so many runs and I’ve got to keep the game close. Això és el que visc.

 

I haven’t seen any film of Ricky Burns. Haven’t watched him at all. But from what I’ve heard he’s a tough fighter in great shape, so if we go 12 rounds it’ll be a good 12 rondes. I’m going to go out there and give it my all and win in the most impressive way possible.

 

It wasn’t difficult to give up my title. I don’t fight for titles. I don’t care for titles. I think they’re just aesthetic things. I’d rather please the fans with a good fight. I don’t care if I win a title at the end of the day, but if the fans are happy, I am happy.

 

I’m going to be a lot stronger at this new weight. I don’t know what to expect. I’m excited to get in the ring and find out.

 

RICKY BURNS

 

When you’re in hard fights, that’s what brings out the best of you. I’m looking forward to getting in the ring and putting on a good performance and win some fans over here.

 

It’s a very tough fight and we knew that before we took it. Figueroa likes to come forward and be aggressive, but that can be his downside because he takes a lot of shots. We’re prepared for whatever happens on fight night and the best man will win.

 

Some people think I’ve come over here just to be an opponent but that’s not the case. I had a bad year but it’s all behind me. I’m going to get back to my winning ways.

 

This is everything I’ve ever wanted to accomplish in boxing. It’s going to be a hard fight but by the time the fight comes it will be just about four weeks that I’ve been in Texas.

 

I treat boxing as my job, when it comes to training and fighting I always give it 100 percent and leave it all in the ring and hopefully the fans will see that. Omar is never in a dull fight and I’m not one to back out.

 

We’ve treated this fight exactly the same as any other. Even though we’re in his hometown, as soon as that first bell goes that’s when it’s going to count. It’s just me and him in that ring.

 

Tomoki Kameda

 

It is a dream come true to fight on a network like CBS. Millions are now going to get to know me, get to know my style. Boxing is changing and to be part of that is a great honor to me.

It was not easy to relinquish my world titleI was the first Japanese to hold that title. It’s never easy to give up something that you’ve worked so hard for. But I respect the sanctioning body’s decision, they said I had to relinquish it and so I did. Ara, I’m going for another title, and after that maybe unification.

McDonnell is a good boxer. He knows how to box and knows his way inside the ring. Most British fighters do that, move around a lot. Its not an easy style to face, but my team and I have a great strategy and we are going to win, we are going to win by knockout.

I love Mexico. I moved there when I was 15 with my family. I did all of my amateur and all my professional career there. I’m grateful to Mexico and all Mexicans for giving me so much.

My team and the guys at the gym started calling me ‘El Mexicanitobecause I embrace Mexican culture as my own. I love the food, the people and of course the Spanish language. I struggle with it at first, but now I think I got it mastered.

 

JAMIE MCDONNELL

 

I think Kameda is a bit scared and a bit intimidated by my size. I genuinely believe I am going to knock him out. I’m too big and too strong.

 

I’ve been a world champion for a couple of years now. I’m ultra-confident for this fight. It’s the best I’ve ever felt. Tinc moltes ganes de fer-ho.

 

Kameda is a good fighter and I expect the very best from him. He better expect the very best from me. This is life changing, whoever wins this fight gets propelled up a few levels.

 

I want the best life possible for my wife and baby daughter. To do that I have to beat him.

 

My losses were six years ago and I didn’t even really believe in myself at that time. I’ve gone through every experience that you can in that time and I bring everything to the table.

 

Fans can expect to see a lot of heart. I can take a punch, I can give a punch. It’s an interesting fight and it’s a chance for me to showcase what I’m all about on this great stage here in America.

 

AUSTIN TROUT

 

As far as my opponent dropping out at the last minute, disappointment is kind of an understatement. But I’m trying to keep it classy, so I’ll stick with disappointed. I’m not surprised though.

 

The day I heard that he pulled out it definitely changed my mindset, but I had to find that focus and realize that we still have work to do.

 

It’s an honor to be part of this whole PBC on CBS card. I feel like this is the resurgence of boxingbrining it back to the golden days. For me to be a part of that was one of my goals when I turned pro. I wanted to be a part of the comeback of boxing.

 

I’m trying to get a belt. I want my world title back. After I get a world title I’m going to try and avenge those losses. After I avenge those losses I want another title so I can become an undisputed champion. Once that’s done we can consider moving up to another weight class maybe.

ADONIS STEVENSON

 

“He treballat dur per poder anar a 12 rondes. El vaig deixar dues vegades. Ell mai ha estat noquejat i jo sabia que havia vingut preparat per lluitar.

 

“Li vaig dir que seria feliç amb un nocaut o anar la distància per aconseguir la victòria. Així que estic molt content de com he lluitat avui i amb el resultat.

 

“Bika utilitza una mica el cap i va tractar de baralla, però jo era capaç de controlar la baralla. Jo sabia que ell no acaba d'arribar a Canadà per a la diversió, però per guanyar.

 

“Estar involucrat amb Lliga de Campions de boxa i lluita per la cadena CBS ha estat una gran experiència. Això és fantàstic per a la boxa i esperem més i més nens començaran a involucrar-se en l'esport.

 

“Quant al que ve, Vaig a esperar i veure el que Al (Haymon) té per a mi. Vaig a estar llest per anar de nou al juny o juliol.”

 

Saki BULL

 

“Adonis mereixia guanyar aquesta lluita. No puc prendre res fora d'ell. Va barallar molt bé.

 

“Em van enxampar amb un dret i lliscar la primera vegada que vaig baixar. Quan ell em va agafar amb l'esquerra i vaig baixar més endavant realment no m'afecta gaire en realitat. Ell és el campió i encara va barallar una gran baralla avui.

 

“Lluitar per la cadena CBS ha estat un destacat increïble per a la meva carrera. No vaig aconseguir la victòria, però em vaig posar una gran baralla perquè el públic vegi.

 

“Per ara, Aniré a casa i gaudir de la meva família. Llavors vaig a veure d'una altra baralla.”

 

ARTUR Beterbiev

 

“En aquesta lluita vaig poder mostrar realment el que sóc capaç de fer i la meva experiència va valer la pena.

 

“Quan vaig veure imatges de Campillo em vaig adonar del que va fer córrer molt. Jo no estava tractant de ser l'agressor. Acabo vaig enganxar al meu pla de joc.

 

“Estic molt feliç d'estar en el gran escenari a la CBS en un punt tan d'hora en la meva carrera professional. Tot això es va ajuntar molt ràpidament i espero tornar aviat.

 

“Estem planejant tornar a barallar al maig i que vaig a deixar el que el meu oponent estarà en les mans de Déu.”

 

Gabriel Campillo

 

“Tenia moltes ganes d'empènyer Beterbiev a les rondes finals d'aquesta lluita per veure com anava a manejar això, però jo no era capaç d'aconseguir que es faci.

 

“El cop més important era la primera vegada que em va sorprendre en la primera ronda. Després que el tir no va ser capaç de recuperar mi mateix.

 

“Jo estava molt emocionat de tenir aquesta oportunitat de lluitar per la cadena CBS. Aquesta producció de PBC va ser molt agradable per ser part de i crec que la sèrie va a fer molt per ajudar a créixer l'esport.

 

“El meu pla per ara és descansar. Després ens tornarem a visitar la situació i veiem tornar a barallar.”

 

JULIAN WILLIAMS

 

“No hi va haver Hernández subestimar per aquesta baralla. Hem estudiat un munt de pel·lícules sobre ell i tenia una molt bona idea del que anava a portar a l'actualitat l'anell.

 

“Vaig pensar que la meva jab i els meus moviments eren els meus dos fortaleses més importants en aquesta lluita. Tallant l'anell va ser clau.

 

“Aquesta sèrie PBC i tenir les baralles en una xarxa important com CBS és enorme per a l'esport de la boxa. És molt bo per entrar en molts més llars, i espero que ajuda a que l'esport sigui més populars. Esperem que això arribi a aquests nens que no poden pagar per cable de subscripció i ajuda a animar els nens més joves per entrar en l'esport.

 

“No estic segur del que ve. Vaig a esperar Al (Haymon) per fer-me saber, però realment estic esperant una oportunitat per una tapa 10 combat abans que acabi l'any.”

 

Joey HERNANDEZ

 

“Williams és probablement el millor lluitador que he enfrontat fins ara. Ell no és el batedor més difícil, però ell va fer una baralla molt intel·ligent. Ell va utilitzar la seva alçada i profunditat per mantenir fora del meu jab i romandre fora del meu abast.

 

“Lamentablement vaig haver rebre cops per donar cops en aquesta lluita. Quan vaig entrar jo era capaç d'aconseguir els meus cops off, però jo no podia fer prou per aconseguir la victòria.

 

“Aquesta va ser una gran baralla per als aficionats i la lluita per la cadena CBS em va donar una gran oportunitat perquè molta més gent a veure aquestes baralles.

 

“Encara sóc jove als 30 anys d'edat. Sé que vaig a estar de tornada al ring. Faig això perquè vull i m'encanta, no perquè ho necessito.”

QUEBEC CITY, QUEBEC (Abril 1, 2015) – During Dimecres de final press conference at Le Bonne Entente in Quebec City, both Adonis “Superhome” Stevenson i Sakio “El Escorpí” Taure promised a knockout when they meet in the main event of the debut presentation of Lliga de Campions de Boxa (PBC) a CBSTelevision Network this Saturday, Abril 4, a 3 p.m. I/PT Noon.

 

The hard-hitting Stevenson (25-1, 21 KOs) will defend his light heavyweight world championship against former super middleweight world champion Bika (32-6-3, 21 KOs) in the main event from the Pepsi Coliseum a la ciutat de Quebec.

 

The case was the same with the co-main event fighters as both undefeated light heavyweight and two-time Russian Olympian Artur Beterbiev (7-0, 7 KOs) and former light heavyweight world champion Gabriel Campillo (25-6-1, 12 KOs) expected to win via KO aquest dissabte tarda. Campillo, sporting a Tom Brady jersey, even promised he would win in dramatic fashion like this year’s Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots.

 

Below are quotes from the fighters and trainers from Dimecres de conferència de premsa:

 

ADONIS STEVENSON:

I know Sakio is going to try to take my title, but I’m prepared for that.

 

I know he was a champion. I made the move from 168 a 175 pounds and it worked well for me. I expect him to bring his best at 175 lliura. He’s a former champ so I’m preparing to face a champion.

 

I’m looking for the KO because I’m from the Kronk Gym. Knockouts sell. But I can go 12 rondes, that’s not a problem. I train for 12 rondes.

 

My trainer has given me a great plan. He knows Sakio Bika very well and we’ll see what happens in the ring.

 

Bika is still going to have the same power moving up in weight. He should actually be stronger.

 

I’m very focused because I know Bika is very dangerous. I know he’s going to come into the ring and try to give me trouble.

 

I’m a knockout artist. I can do a lot in the ring, but first and foremost I’m a knockout artist.

 

I’d love to unify the belts eventually, but I’ll let my manager Al Haymon take care of that.

 

My mentor Emanuel Steward always told me that as soon as I enter the ring the knockout is what sells. I’ll definitely be going for the knockout aquest dissabte on CBS.

 

I’m ready to go toe-to-toe. Adonis Stevenson vs. Sakio Bika on CBS, baby.

 

 

Saki BULL:

To beat a great fighter you have to be your best. I’m looking to take the WBC title back home.

 

I’ve fought everyoneI’ve never ducked an opponentand I don’t know if he can handle the pressure.

 

I feel more comfortable at 175 lliura. I want to test the big boy [Stevenson] and I feel like I can do that. En dissabte we’ll see.

 

He’s knocked people out, però mai he estat noquejat. En dissabte I’ll be the one to knock him out.

 

I’m very hungry to get a world title back. I trained very hard at light heavyweight to get a title back.

 

I didn’t come here to Canada just to walk and look around. I came here to take this belt back home and I’m very confident I’m going to do that.

 

Training camp went very well, we put in good work and now we’re here in Canada ready to shock the world.

 

 

JAVANSUGARHILL:

Training camp was very good as always. Nothing different, just hard work perfecting his boxing and the basic fundamentals. We’re looking for him to make a mistake and catch him.

 

The way you prepare for an unorthodox fighter like Bika is to make sure your basics are sound. You have to have a good jab, you have to have good movement and you have to have ‘super powerAnd I have “Superhome.

 

Emanuel also told me the knockout sells. It’s something that we both know and it’s something that is imbedded in us. We’re looking for the knockout on Abril 4. Sometimes I see things that Adonis is looking to do before he does it. So I’ll just be sitting there waiting for Adonis to catch Sakio Bika making a mistake and getting a knockout.

 

I’m super proud to represent Kronk Gym. That’s why I wear my hat here. Kronk to me is like my family name and that’s what I live by. I was born into Kronk when I was a little kid going to a tournament with my uncle Emanuel and all I remember is the Kronk fighters winning. And that’s what I do now: victòria.

 

Adonis is an artist, he’s a KO artist. El meu predicció per Dissabte is a knockout on CBS.

 

There’s been a lot of talk and now it’s time for action. Toe-to-toe on Abril 4. No t'ho perdis.”

 

 

KEVIN CUNNINGHAM:

“Vam tenir un gran camp d'entrenament. Everyone was relaxed. We had great sparring.

 

He was making 168 pretty easy, but stepping up he’s able to eat whatever he wants. The weight is good. We think he’s going to be good and strong at 175. It’s a good move for him.

 

He’s never had any problems with power, so I think the extra weight and energy should be good for him at light heavyweight.

 

All this talk about Stevenson fighting (Sergey) Kovalev has motivated him pretty good. I think it gave him a pretty good picture of how the business of boxing works. He realizes that when the bell rings he needs to do something about it and he’s motivated by that.

 

I can’t say if Stevenson is overlooking him because I’m not around him enough. But I know the fans and media want to make the Kovalev fight. It was good for Bika to hear that because it motivated him. He knows he has an opportunity to do something about it. En dissabte afternoon he can change all that.

 

If Stevenson does what he says he’s going to domeet him in the center of the ring and go toe-to-toethis is going to be a tremendous fight.

 

If he comes to the center of the ring and fights and goes toe-to-toe then this fight won’t go the distance. If Stevenson comes to trade I think he gets knocked out. If he runs around the ring and boxes then it could be a different outcome.

 

 

ARTUR Beterbiev:

I don’t think this is a big challenge for me. I’m ready to face the world champions and raise the bar higher. This is just another opponent for me.

 

This is another step that will move me closer to facing the champions at 175 lliura. I want to put on a solid fight and show that I’m one of the best fighters in this division.

 

A knockout is never a goal for me. I’m trying to show my work and my dedication in the ring, but usually that’s what happens. Usually I finish with a knockout but that is not my main goal. My main goal is to box and show my skills.

 

My motivation is to face the champions. That’s why I work so hard every day in the gym. I will get there soon.

 

Why not face Kovalev? Estic a punt. When I turned professional my goal was to meet the champions. He’s a champion now and I’d like to face the champions.

 

 

Gabriel Campillo:

We started training Jan. 1 and camp has been very good. We’ve been working very hard and I think I’m in great condition for this fight.

 

Beterbiev may not have a lot of professional experience, but he’s had a very long amateur career. So we know that he’s ready and is a good opponent for us. We’ll see how he handles things once we get past the 5º, 6º i 7º rondes.

 

To get ready for a hard-hitter like Beterbiev required lots of conditioning training. We worked the neck and the chin a lot. We think we’ve got a great chance in the second half of this fight though considering Beterbiev hasn’t really been tested like that.

 

As for a prediction, I’m going to knock Beterbiev out in the seventh round.
