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

 

DANNY GARCIA

 

 

 

I know I’m the better all-around fighter. I can just do more in the ring than Shawn Porter, période. I’m going to prove it on Saturday.

 

 

 

It means the world to me to get this belt back. This is a new chapter in my career. I’ve been in a lot of great fights. I’m a seasoned champion. This is a chance to regain something that was mine. This is one of the moments where I have to just go out there and prove myself.

 

 

 

My style is totally different than Keith Thurman, so I hope Shawn isn’t going off of that fight. I know I’m a better boxer than Shawn Porter and I’m going to make sure everyone else knows it too.

 

 

 

I absolutely want to unify with Errol Spence Jr. after I win. I want the biggest fights. This would be my fourth world title. All I’ve ever done is face everyone they put in front me and I’ve earned those huge fights.

 

 

 

This is nothing new to me. I’ve performed at this level for a long time. I’ve put in the hard work. Come Saturday night I’m going to get this victory because I’m the better fighter and a true champion.

 

 

 

I’m incredibly motivated, but I know that sometimes in life if you want something too much, you don’t get it. I’ve achieved a lot in this sport. This will just add more hardware to my collection.

 

 

 

I didn’t take any punishment in the Thurman fight. I could have come back two months later. I know that I could have started earlier and been more relentless, but I’m just going to take that into this fight and make the best of it.

 

Shawn Porter

 

 

 

The way I’m going to win this fight will change the conversation at welterweight. You’re going to have to wonder whether Errol Spence Jr. and Terrence Crawford have what it takes to beat me. I’m here to put on a great show, win this title and do it in spectacular fashion

 

 

 

I’m used to being the underdog. I’ve upset people before. I’m looking forward to doing what it takes to be that one to pull it off.

 

 

 

Styles make fights. One way or another, I’m ready to do whatever it takes to win this fight. There’s nothing I’ve ever wanted in my entire life more than this. I’m out here to take it.

 

 

 

Anything Danny is coming with, Je le prends. It’s mine. Tout ce qu'il faut, I will not be stopped on Saturday night.

 

 

 

This means the world to me. This is my goal. I’m a goal-oriented person. I didn’t know when I was going to be fighting for this WBC title, I knew this was my time. This title has so much lineage and history to go along with it and I want to be a part of it.

 

 

 

I’m setting the tone now for what Danny should expect from fight night. He’s had this before, but this is my goal and this world title is mine to take.

 

 

 

Danny has to know that he’s getting in the ring with a bull. This isn’t going to be an easy 12 tours. I’m going to make him earn every inch.

 

YORDENIS UGAS

 

 

 

It’s an honor to be a part of such a big card at Barclays Center. I’m going to do what I need to do. I’m going to put on a great performance, and the rest will take care of itself.

 

 

 

I think I’ve been the most consistent fighter at welterweight for the last two years. If I take care of business on Saturday, a world title shot will be next.

 

 

 

My opponent is going to try to make a big name for himself, but it’s my job to study him and make adjustments in the ring to get him out of there.

 

CESAR BARRIONUEVO

 

 

 

I’m very happy to be in this position. It’s going to be a great fight and it’s going to be my announcement to the U.S. I’m very ready to perform on that stage.

 

 

 

I know that my power and my relentlessness will make this an exciting fight for the fans. I hope that Ugas is not underestimating me, because I want him to be at his very best.

 

 

 

Fighting in Brooklyn is exciting. I could not be on a more exciting or perfect stage for this fight. Saturday will become the night that everyone remembers for my arrival.

 

ADAM Kownacka

 

 

 

“Après samedi soir, everybody will know my name. I’m the next great heavyweight here in America. I want to make my splash on the national scene.

 

 

 

Last year against Artur Szpilka was an appetizer and this is my main course for really making myself known as a threat to everyone at heavyweight.

 

 

 

I can’t wait to hear the Polish fans and see the red and white. It’s going to be another awesome atmosphere and I’m definitely coming to send those fans home happy.

 

 

 

I feel like I’ve been getting better and better as I get more recognition. A world title fight is not that far in my future. I’m focused on beating Charles Martin first and letting my performance speak for itself.

 

Charles Martin

 

 

 

I’m going to go in there and put on a show. I’m going to get myself back to the position I want to be. That’s at the top of the heavyweight division.

 

 

 

I’m in phenomenal shape. I’ve been working hard for two and a half months. We’re back to where we need to be and you’ll see it on Saturday.

 

 

 

Training in the altitude in California is rough, but it’s great once you get here and feel great. That’s why you work so hard to get in shape, so you can be twice as good on fight night.

 

 

 

There are a lot of great heavyweight out there. I’m glad that people are giving it the acclaim they deserve. I think all of those guys are beatable and I look forward for my chance to prove it.

 

AMANDA SERRANO

 

 

 

I’m so thankful to have this great opportunity to make history again. I’m going to put on a tremendous show like I always do and give my hometown fans something to cheer for.

 

 

 

Come Saturday night, I’m super excited to grab this title in a sixth division. It puts me up there with two of the best fighters of all time in Oscar De La Hoya and Manny Pacquiao. I’ve won all of my titles by knockout and I have to keep that streak going on Saturday night.

 

 

 

Winning this fight is everything. I hope that I’m doing something great for young Latinas coming up in the sport. I’m going to continue to break down these barriers and one day cement my legacy in the Hall of Fame.

 

DiBella LOU, Président de DiBella Entertainment

 

 

 

This is going to be a sensational show this Saturday night at Barclays Center. This is about as good as it gets. I’ve said that a number of times over recent years, and that’s a good thing. This is another show loaded with talent and has a sensational main event between two of the best fighters in the world, with styles that will mesh really well.

 

 

 

“Garcia vs. Porter is a can’t miss fight. The winner will establish themselves as one of the best in the welterweight division and all of boxing. There will really be no loser, because there’s no way this isn’t an action-packed clash that lifts up both men in the eyes of fans.

 

 

 

There is really a terrific undercard on this show including amazing talent off of television. We always have a strong representation from Brooklyn and this show is no different with unbeaten rising prospects Chris Colbert, Richardson Hitchins and Chordale Booker. Plus, Brooklyn’s own Amanda Serrano looking to make history once again.

 

CHRIS DEBLASIO, SVP Sports Communications, Showtime Networks Inc.

 

 

 

We have established ourselves as an industry leader during an incredible time for boxing. We’ve delivered the largest slate of live boxing, with the best fighters in the most pivotal matchups. Our commitment will continue to be second to none.

 

 

 

“En 2018, we have delivered 26 live boxing events and 22 combats de championnat du monde, far more than anyone else. It’s not just the quantity, but the quality. We’ve had several of the best fights of 2018 and have presented three world title unifications and four women’s world title fights so far.

 

 

 

Saturday’s main event is a 50-50 matchup that everyone from Sugar Ray Leonard and Manny Pacquaio to Errol Spence Jr. and Keith Thurman have seen as an all-action fight where it’s hard to pick a winner. Danny and Shawn have been presented by our SHOWTIME team 20 fois. We’ve seen them come of age, achieve stardom and even navigate setbacks. It all leads up to this fight on Saturday night.

 

BRETT YORMARK, PDG de l'ESB mondial

 

 

 

It’s been six years since we’ve been in Brooklyn. We’ve hosted 260 bouts, 46 title fights and on September 8, our 30e big night of BROOKLYN BOXING™. From the start we wanted to make a commitment to the sport and we’ve done that.

 

 

 

Fights like Saturday help us standout from other venues in the marketplace. We have two of the best and brightest stars in the sport Saturday night and we can’t wait for them to enter the ring. We welcome back those who are returning to our ring such as Amanda Serrano, Adam Kownacki and Charles Martin, and we also welcome Ugas and Barrionuevo, for their first fights in Brooklyn.

 

 

 

This is truly an exciting time for the entire sport of boxing. We’re going to continue to reach the masses and provide unprecedented support for our boxing events. Tickets are moving fast and it should be another electric night. That’s what BROOKLYN BOXING™ is all about.

Garcia, along with father and trainer Angel Garcia, showed off his skills and spoke about his upcoming clash and more from the DSG Boxing Gym in Philadelphia. Here is what they had to say Wednesday:

 

DANNY GARCIA

 

 

 

Once you’re in there with me, it’s not the same as anyone else. It’s not the same as what you expect it to be. You’re in for a rude awakening.

 

 

 

I’ve knocked out a lot of fighters for the first time, so it won’t be surprising to me if I knock Shawn Porter out for the first time.

 

 

 

Shawn had to have some skill to get to this level, it wasn’t all brawling. Je ne prends rien loin de lui. We’re prepared for the best Shawn Porter.

 

 

 

This is another opportunity to become a four-time world champion and that excites me. I still feel like the WBC title is mine, so I’m even more ready to reclaim it.

 

 

 

Getting that world title back is what it’s all about. I know that I’m always going to be a top fighter. I fill the seats and make big fights, that’s why Shawn came to me after my win against Brandon Rios for his moment of glory.

 

 

 

I can’t rank Porter against the other top fighters in my career. I’ll have to see what he brings once we get in the ring. I’ve fought a lot of great opponents and he’s just the next in that line.

 

 

 

In boxing they say the more you throw, the more open you are to get hit. Volume punching has to be effective. I’m the sharper boxer and I land the cleaner punches. That’s more my style. We’ve prepared ourselves for 12 hard rounds of any style.

 

 

 

After four rounds you can really tell how strong a fighter is and how good their conditioning is. It’s all about the will power after a certain amount of rounds and I carry that well.

 

 

 

We’ve had perfect sparring with guys who just come forward and put pressure on you. We’ve had bigger, heavier guys and some guys who jab and box how the way that Porter does.

 

 

 

There’s going to be a lot of support from Philly on September 8. I’m a big draw in Brooklyn and I’m going to make it another epic night for Philly sports.

 

Angel Garcia, Père de Danny & Entraîneur

 

 

 

Porter really isn’t worried about Danny’s power, but he should be. I’m not mad about it, he just better have no excuses in that ring. Because Danny’s not about excuses.

 

 

 

We’re working hard and we’re going to be ready for anything Shawn Porter thinks he has up his sleeve. If he comes rushing in, he’s playing right into Danny’s hands.

 

 

 

Danny is a star and he’s going to show it again in this fight. He always puts on a star performance and this going to be another stage for him to shine.

MINNEAPOLIS (Avril 14, 2018) – Welterweight Jamal James (23-1, 10 KOs) earned a hard fought majority decision over Abel Ramos (18-3-2, 13 KOs) in front of his hometown fans Friday night in the main event of Premier Champions de boxe sur FS1 et FOX Sports de l'armurerie de Minneapolis.

 

 

 

It feels so great to get this win in Minneapolis in front of all of my people here,” a déclaré James, “Ramos was a tough opponent who gave me a great challenge, but I was able to keep my composure and give the fans a win.

 

 

 

James used his 6-foot-2 frame and reach advantage to beat Ramos to the punch in round one, but was clipped in round two by a left hook from the game Ramos that had the local favorite in temporary trouble and on the defensive.

 

 

 

The Minneapolis-native was able to regain his composure and return to the offensive as he poured right hands behind a strong jab along with movement that made it difficult for Ramos to land cleanly. Ramos continued to charge forward however, emphasizing body shots that slowed James down and allowed him to win rounds.

 

 

 

I had to dig down tonight but I think it was a good fight for me to grind out,” a déclaré James. “I’m going to keep getting better and I hope to have a chance to display my talents at home again. I know if I keep working, I’m going to get a chance to prove myself against the best out there.

 

 

 

James was able to send the hometown fans happy after 10 tours, with judges giving him the majority decision by scores of 95-95 et 96-94 deux fois.

 

 

 

The telecast also featured a spirited 10-round lightweight clash that saw Edner Cherry (37-7-2, 19 KOs)earn a close but unanimous decision over Dennis Galarza(16-3, 9 KOs).

 

 

 

Galarza controlled the early action with his jab and a powerful right hand that appeared to have Cherry stunned in the first round. His length advantage was key until Cherry was able to establish position on the inside.

 

 

 

Cherry began to land several powerful shots on Galarza with both hands in the middle rounds, backing Galarza up and taking away much of power on his shots. Galarza tried to back off and box Cherry more down the stretch, but was unable to avoid the oncoming Cherry as often as he needed.

 

 

 

Après 10 rounds all three judges favored the work of Cherry by scores of 97-93 et 96-94 deux fois.

 

 

 

In a battle of unbeaten prospects, Chris Colbert (8-0, 2 KOs) scored a TKO victory over Austin Dulay (11-1, 8 KOs)after seven rounds of lightweight action.

 

 

 

Colbert was first to the punch from the outset, landing straight right hands cleanly before flummoxing Dulay by switching to the southpaw stance. Colbert scored a knockdown in round six with a combo punctuated by a powerful body shot. After a dominant seventh round, referee Mark Nelson stopped the fight after checking on Dulay in his corner.

 

 

 

Additional action saw 6-foot-6 unbeaten prospect Sébastien “Le Towering Inferno” Fondora (9-0, 5 KOs) stop previously unbeaten Veshawn Owens (9-1, 9 KOs)à 2:27 of the fifth round of their super welterweight fight and 17-year-old former amateur standout Joey Spencer (2-0, 2 KOs)deliver a dominant TKO 51 seconds into the first round against Ousmane Sylla (1–3-1, 1 KO) in a super welterweight contest.

Jamal James wants to shine bright in homecoming bout against Abel Ramos

 

 

 

The sounds of a boxing gym can be intimidating. There is a rhythmic, cacophony of speed bags, and heavy bags and mitt work going on simultaneously-and all with authoritative whoomps!

 

 

 

It can reach such a pitch that you could barely hear yourself talk. Just imagine being four-year-old Jamal James and the wide-eyed wonderment he had when his mother took him to the Circle of Discipline gym on the south side of Minneapolis, Minnesota.

 

 

 

The intimidation lasted maybe a second. The next thing the rambunctious James did was mimic the fighters he saw, throwing his tiny hands at the bags, fitting his whole arm into a glove. Twenty-five years later in that same gym, everyone now mimics James.

 

 

 

After a sea of amateur and professional wins, under the guidance of Sankara Frazier, who’s been as much a father as he’s been a trainer, Jacques (22-1, 10 KOs) will be seen by not just the Circle of Discipline gym, but by the city of Minneapolis and the nation when he takes on Abel Ramos (18-2-2, 13 KOs) in a scheduled 10-round welterweight fight on Friday, Avril 13, at the Minneapolis Armory on a Premier Boxing Champions on FS1 and FOX Deportes live (9PM ET/6PM PT).

 

 

 

Also featured on the card will be veteran Edner Cherry against Dennis Galarza in a lightweight co-main event, and Austin Dulay taking on Chris Colbert in a matchup of unbeaten super featherweights.

 

 

 

For the 29-year-old James, this will mark the first time in five years that the 6-foot-2 welterweight has fought on his home turf. It’s been a long journey for someone who was once a kid introduced to boxing holding his mother’s hand.

 

 

 

Jamal took to boxing, almost immediately,” Frazier recalled. “It’s kind of funny, because he had a little temper on him, just like I did when I began. There was one time a kid who was more experience than Jamal got the better of him, and Jamal jumped the boy, took his head gear off and tried to choke the kid.

 

 

 

We still laugh about it today. But Jamal, d'abord, was a handful. He would whine and complain about doing certain things, and remember, he was still a kid. I would tell him to cut that whining out and it wasn’t so much for the purpose of learning boxing, but to get Jamal to understand at that age what work ethic and discipline was about. He could hardly hold his arms up when he had the big gloves on. You could see Jamal loved being around boxing.

 

 

 

Jacques’ goal growing up was to one day be an Olympian. Though what so often happens to other teenaged fighters coming up through the amateur system in the United States, James was discouraged. He needed to grow into his body, trop, since he was always tall for his weight class.

 

 

 

I had a meeting with the whole crew, who I had since they were little kids, when they were teenagers and I told them they could be really good,” Frazier recalled. “I let them know there would one or two of them that would go on and do further things. I told them what would get them there is discipline and focus.

 

 

 

There were only a few kids that were working on that part of it, and one of them was Jamal. You see with him now. My thing is I don’t talk to my kids or fighting professional, but boxing is something a person has to want to do, and if money comes with it, grand. Boxing is a tough game and you need to be disciplined and focused with it.

 

 

 

James has one pro loss on his record, and it’s to the very talented Yordenis Ugas in August 2016. James was just coming off an impressive win against Wale Omotoso a month earlier.

 

 

 

The loss against Ugas I take as a good lesson,” a déclaré James, whose rangy 6-2 frame makes it tough for any welterweight to get inside his jab. “I thought I was in shape against Ugas, and I was too slow on the trigger and I fought his fight.

 

 

 

I found out there that you have to prepare fully for any fight you take. I tried to push the envelope a little too hard for that one. My reflexes weren’t there. I’ll say I wasn’t overlooking Ugas, I’ll say I was overly confident for that fight, à ce moment-là. I had no losses and I was feeling good about himself.

 

 

 

Now James is on a great stage-his home. The renovated Minneapolis Armory is a historic venue that hosted nearly 100 cartes entre 1915-1973, including shows headlined by one of the greatest welterweights ever – Sugar Ray Robinson.

 

 

 

I know Abel Ramos is a tough fighter, and I know he’ll come and bring it,” James said. “He’s not coming to my backyard just to lay down. I know he’s coming to fight and I embrace that challenge. If I’m going to be a world champion one day, I’m going to have to take on guys like this, and deal with this kind of pressure.

 

 

 

I’m going to make sure the other guy is going to remember my name. The storm is coming right here at home. I’m opening the door for these guys coming up behind me.

 

Like the older guys once held the door for him.

Confidence not lacking in Chris Colbert’s arsenal

 

 

Doubt, they say, is the privilege of those who’ve lived a long time. À 21, Chris Colbert hasn’t earned that right yet. Cependant, age may do nothing to blunt his hubris.

 

 

 

In boxing you have to stay focused, stay humble and stay ready. I’m still working on the humble part,” Chris Colbert laughs.

 

 

 

His trash talking may offend some, but it’s hard to stay humble when your talent has you feeling like Cassius Clay in Olympic Village.

 

 

 

I’m a ‘lights, caméra, action guy,” he boasts. “I love the lights, I love the camera, and I’m definitely all about that action.

 

 

 

Colbert (7-0, 2 KOs) has backed up his bravado so far. The undefeated featherweight prospect will make his television debut on FS1 and FOX Deportes against Austin Dulay at the Armory in Minneapolis, Minnesota on Friday.

 

 

 

Some will watch hoping the cocksure kid gets knocked off. But Colbert is already a winner, no matter what happens going forward. His isn’t a story of one who did it the right way. It’s a tale of one who did it son way.

 

 

 

Colbert was born and raised in the harsh Flatbush area of Brooklyn. Il, his mother, and nine siblings lived together under an ever-changing roof that included two stints in the local shelter.

 

 

 

My family really wasn’t that close,” Colbert says. “I was the middle child, the independent one. Si, I was always by myself, going out and being in the streets alone.

 

 

 

Colbert was a good student growing up. But by the time he finished middle school, he was spending most of his time on corners, where his diminutive size made him an easy mark.

 

 

 

I didn’t run from those fights,” he recalls. “I guess in a way, I took out my frustrations on others through street fighting. But that’s where it ended. I never got arrested or caught up with drugs and stuff. I knew what came after that and no matter what, I always believed my future would be bright.

 

 

 

Colbert got his first taste of boxing at age 13, when he became hooked on the build-up for the Floyd Mayweather-Shane Mosley fight.

 

 

 

I saw how much money Floyd makes fighting and I told myself, ‘I fight in the streets every day. Why don’t I get paid for it?'”

 

 

 

The universe agreed. Shortly after, Colbert got into an argument with a friend. The friend suggested they settle it in the ring at Atlas Cops & Kids Boxing Gym. Atlas is a Brooklyn landmark, a mentoring center for neighborhood children started by retired New York police officer Pat Russo and former boxing trainer Teddy Atlas.

 

 

 

I knew I was home soon as I walked in,” Colbert says. “I kept looking around, seeing the culture there, and I remembered watching Mayweather at the gym. I walked up to a coach and said, ‘I’m going to be the best fighter you got in this gym.He thought I was joking. I came every day for three years straight.

 

 

 

Once I started going to the gym, my life was all about boxing. I used to go to school and I wasn’t focused, not doing the work. But I told the teachers, ‘I’m good. I’m going to be a boxer.They all told me that I wasn’t going to make it.

 

 

 

Colbert would meet future trainer and father-figure Aureliano Sosa at Atlas. It was Sosa who christened him “Lil’ B-Hop.

 

 

 

They called me that because they said I fought like Bernard Hopkins; the way he taunts people and all that stuff,” Colbert says. “Then one day I’m at a press conference and someone shouted my nickname. Hopkins turned around thinking they were calling him. That’s how we met. We’ve been close ever since.

 

 

 

Hopkins advises his namesake, sharing insights on the game and warning him of the pitfalls ahead. “Lil B-Hopimmersed himself in boxing, studying Mayweather, Pernell Whitaker and Andre Ward to incorporate parts of their style into his own. Colbert possesses fast hands and feet, and is comfortable fighting either orthodox or southpaw. He’s registered only two stoppages but believes that will change once he acquiresgrown man strength.

 

 

 

Cependant, Colbert’s newfound love didn’t alter fortunes at home. Just as the U.S. Nationals were about to begin, he and his family were evicted.

 

 

 

I was really going through it,” dit-il. “Like damn, I never wanted people to know my business. That’s how I am with everything. I always kept things to myself. Being in the shelter again, trying to get ready to compete in a fight was one of the hardest things I had to go through.

 

 

 

Colbert went on to win that 2015 Nationals championship. He became the No. 3-ranked fighter nationally at 114 livres et non. 1 à 123, earning an opportunity to qualify for the Olympics.

 

 

 

Mais “the politics of the gameand perhaps the allure of making money convinced him to turn pro at 18. It appears he made the right decision. Novembre dernier, he fought in his first eight-rounder, outpointing Titus Williams in a battle of undefeated Big Apple prospects.

 

 

 

Sur papier, Dulay is the toughest opponent of his career. Following an amateur career that included over 120 victoires, the Tennessee native is 11-0 avec 8 KOs as a pro.

 

 

 

These aren’t fights they’re giving me,” Colbert says. “This is what I’m asking for. A lot of these world champions came up taking the easy route. They’ll be 27-0 and haven’t fought an undefeated fighter. Je suis seulement 7-0 and I’m up to my third undefeated fighter. And I plan to keep wiping them out.

 

 

 

Along with this early crossroads fight, his long-time girlfriend is pregnant with his first child, a son. Colbert’s approaching both the fight and parenting with the same confidence that got him to this point.

 

 

 

After I turned pro, I said to my teachers, ‘I told y’all.’ Maintenant, I’m doing this to better myself, better my community and to give my son the kind of life I didn’t have. I’m just waiting on my turn to shine. You could hate it or love it, but no matter what, stay tuned.

Super poids welter super-taille, Sebastian Fundora, Détendu et confiant passe à l'action ce vendredi contre l'artiste KO Veshawn Owens, également invaincu

 

Il faut un grand homme pour aller dans la ville natale d'un autre combattant invaincu et le faire tomber, mais comme le plus grand super poids welter de l'histoire de la boxe, Sébastien “Le Towering Inferno” Fundora est plus qu'à la hauteur de la tâche.

 

 

 

 

La Fundora de 6 pieds 6 pouces (8-0, 4 KOs) affrontera l'artiste KO du Minnesota, Veshawn Owens (9-0, 9 KOs) ce vendredi, Avril 13, dans une confrontation en huit rounds au manège militaire de Minneapolis, Minnesota. Le duo se rencontrera sur la sous-carte des Premier Boxing Champions sur FOX & Événement FOX Deportes mettant en vedette le poids welter de la ville natale Jamal James affrontant Abel Ramos (9:00 p.m. ET/6:00 p.m. PT)

 

 

 

 

Présenté par Warriors Boxing et TGB Promotions, l'événement verra également le vétéran robuste Edner Cherry affronter le poids léger en hausse Dennis Galarza dans un combat de 10 rounds et Austin Dulay et Chris Colbert s'affronter dans un match de huit rounds entre des espoirs invaincus des super poids plume.. Joey Spencer, un espoir sensationnel de 154 livres, âgé de 17 ans, figure également sur la carte. (1-0, 1 KO), un ancien non. 1 classé amateur et neuf fois champion national.

 

Les billets pour l'événement en direct, lequel est, sont en vente maintenant et sont disponibles en visitant www.ArmoryMN.com.

 

 

 

 

“J’ai combattu dans les jardins d’autres personnes et j’ai déjà battu des combattants invaincus, donc je suis habitué à ça,” dit Fundora, un gaucher confiant de 20 ans de Coachella, Californie. “Je ne sais pas grand-chose sur Owens, mais ça fait du bien de pouvoir combattre des adversaires plus coriaces. Les gens peuvent maintenant voir toutes mes capacités, au lieu d'assommer les gars au premier tour et cela ne veut pas dire autant.”

 

 

 

 

Avec la portée et la hauteur d'un poids lourd, Fundora est énorme pour un combattant de 154 lb… un cadeau naturel sur lequel il travaille dans la salle de sport à son plein avantage.

 

 

 

 

“Nous nous sommes entraînés dur et avons beaucoup travaillé sur la distance et beaucoup plus de puissance et de force pour ce combat. Je ne suis pas seulement le plus grand, Je suis aussi plus fort que quiconque. Nous avons commencé à nous entraîner pour cela en janvier. Après mon dernier combat, en Argentine, J'ai pris une semaine de congé, puis j'ai commencé à travailler sur le conditionnement à Big Bear. C’est un super camp.”

 

 

 

 

Promoteur de Fundora, Sampson Lewkowicz de Sampson Boxing, dit “Le Towering Inferno” est plus qu'un “combattant de gimmick.”

 

 

 

 

“Il est pour de vrai,” a déclaré Lewkowicz. “Il a déjà battu de bons combattants. Comment il met toute cette taille et cette force dans 154 lbs., je ne sais pas, mais Fundora est trop gros pour quiconque à ce poids. Vous devez vous mettre à l’intérieur de lui et c’est trop loin car il vous punit pour chaque pouce que vous essayez de prendre.”

 

 

 

 

“Je suis plus que satisfait de l’évolution des choses,” suite Fundora. “Une victoire dans ce combat serait un bon tremplin pour, espérons-le, se battre pour une ceinture régionale ensuite. J'aurai beaucoup d'opportunités après ma victoire.”

Warriors Boxing is thrilled that PBC, FS1 and FOX Deportes are bringing professional boxing back to Minneapolis on Vendredi, Avril 13,” Leon Margules dit, Président de Warriors Boxing. “There couldn’t be a more fitting venue than the newly renovated, historic Minnesota Armory in downtown Minneapolis.

It will be a great night for the highly acclaimed PBC on FS1 and FOX Deportes series in this beautiful and historic building.

All the fights have a significant bearing on the future of the boxers involved and that will work out well for the fans.
Jacques (22-1, 10 KOs) remporte la plus grande victoire de sa carrière – a knockout over tough veteran Diego Chaves on Décembre. 15. James, 29 ans, a rejoint le champion unifié de 147 livres Keith Thurman en tant que seul boxeur à avoir éliminé l'Argentin durable.. C'était la deuxième victoire consécutive de James depuis qu'il avait subi la seule perte de sa carrière – une défaite par décision unanime face à Yordenis Ugas en août. 12, 2016.

I’m grateful for the opportunity to compete on this platform and to show the nation and the world that Minnesota has great fighters and an enthusiastic fan base for boxing,” a déclaré James. “Abel Ramos is a tough guy who will come to fight, but coming off the big win over Chaves, I’m in a position in my career where I’m trying to reach that world championship level. I have to continue to demonstrate the ability to perform under pressure in difficult fights. I know he’s coming to pull off an upset, but that’s not happening.
Ramos (18-2-2, 13 KOs) terminera son passage dans la division poids welter en affrontant James après avoir fait ses débuts en poids welter avec un arrêt d'Emmanuel Robles en juillet dernier. Le joueur de 26 ans originaire de l'Arizona a remporté trois de ses quatre derniers combats et ses seules défaites professionnelles sont venues aux mains des meilleurs prétendants de 140 livres Regis Prograis et Ivan Baranchyk..
I’m a real Mexican warrior and I never back down from a fight,” said Ramos. “I’m not worried about going into Jamal James hometown and fighting him there. I’m going to disappoint Jamal and all his fans in Minneapolis, because I’m coming to win.
Cerise (36-7-2, 19 KOs) a battu les prétendants autrefois battus Haskell Rhodes et Omar Douglas depuis sa défaite face à Jose Pedraza lors d'un match pour le titre mondial de 130 livres en 2015. La cerise de Wauchula âgée de 35 ans, La Floride a déjà défié Tim Bradley et Paulie Malignaggi au cours de sa carrière qui comprenait une séquence de 10 victoires consécutives après le combat de Bradley..
Dennis Galarza is a great, young fighter who is on the rise, coming to win and looking to become a world champion, but he is in for a real fight,” dit cerise. “I’m not taking this fight lightly, I’m getting ready, and I’m ready to go all out on April 13. After this, I hope I’ll get my third opportunity at a world title. I took the Lydell Rhodes, Omar Douglas and Jose Pedraza fights because I’m a warrior who wants the opportunity to fight the best, et, en fin de compte, to fight for a world title. The Pedraza fight didn’t go my way on the scorecards, but the whole world knows the true outcome of that fight. I went back to work and I’m ready to prove it again.
Galarza (16-2, 9 KOs), un boxeur amateur exceptionnel, intensifie sa compétition avec ce match contre la plus expérimentée Cherry. Galarza, 25 ans, qui vient de Brooklyn mais s'entraîne à Orlando, a remporté trois combats consécutifs depuis sa défaite face à Cesar Alan Valenzuela en septembre. 16, 2016.
My eyes have been on Edner as a friend and as a fan since I was young, but this is business and I’m going to be ready,” Saïd Galarza. “Edner is a true warrior who never lets up and a crafty veteran who has fought a lot of great competition. The Pedraza fight I thought he possibly did win. A lot of people duck Edner Cherry because he beat top guys in Rhodes and Douglas his past two fights, plus he can punch with power. People think Edner’s going to break me down, but I took the fight that nobody wants to take. I believe in my talents and I’m ready to make my mark. This fight will demonstrate the type of fighter that I am.
It is rare to see a match between two young prospects on the rise this early in their careers, but Dulay and Colbert are both eager for that challenge. Dulay (11-0, 8 KOs) était occupé l'année dernière, se battre quatre fois avec un seul combat sur la distance. Le gaucher de 22 ans de Nashville, Le Tennessee a récemment remporté une victoire de TKO sur Carlos Padilla en août dernier.
Colbert (7-0, 2 KOs) a l'une des carrières amateurs les plus décorées de New York alors qu'il se bat dans le célèbre Atlas Cops and Kids Gym à Brooklyn. Le joueur de 21 ans est connu pour sa vitesse fulgurante aux mains et aux pieds et il entre dans ce combat après une victoire par décision unanime contre Titus Williams, invaincu auparavant, en novembre dernier..
