(WBC & WBO Jr. Welterweight Champion Terence Crawford with his Trainer Brian McIntyre and
Top Rank President Todd duBoef / IBF & WBA Jr. Welterweight Champion Julius Indongo with his co-promoter and manager Nestor Tobias and Matchroom Boxing’s Frank Smith.)

TODD duBOEF: It is going to be an exciting night šeštadienį. This will be our third event going live on ESPN and what a way to start with Pacquiao, Lomachenko and now the title unification of Terence Crawford and Julius Indongo. We are going to be in Lincoln, Nebraska this time as Lady Gaga is in Omaha. We are looking forward to Lincoln, as that’s where the Cornhuskers are. This is an incredible thing to be able to do. A lot of time people talk about seeing good fights – guys fight guys that are accomplished – then there’s other guys that want the challenges. Julius Indongo and his promoter, Matchroom Boksas, have come up in a meteoric rise in the past 18 months and Julius has performed great. Terence Crawford has exploded onto the boxing scene – going to Glasgow, Scotland and winning the lightweight title and coming back to Omaha in his first defense against Gamboa and winning in sensational fashion. This will be Terence’s ninth consecutive world title fight over two weight divisions. It is unique in that is a highly-anticipated unification. Only the second time in the four-belt era that two world champions have fought each other to unify the titles with the winner emerging as the division’s undisputed world champion.

FRANK SMITH: It is great to be here in Omaha with Top Rank and we are really looking forward to this fight – it is great when fighters want to take challenges. Julius has traveled all around the world – going to Russia where he won by first round knockout and then taking on Ricky Burns in Scotland in front of a huge crowd. Julius has been spending the last few days in Omaha – I know he is very calm and very relaxed and really looking forward to the challenge. It’s great to be involved in a fight like this with all the belts on the line, which doesn’t happen very often. I know Julius is very confident to go back home with all of the belts in hand. Terence Crawford is a great fighter and has shown it on many occasions and Julius is very calm and relaxed and looking forward to showing what he does and he has no concerns with the traveling. He’ll go anywhere to take on a challenge.

NESTOR TOBIAS: We are really excited. Julius has trained very hard for this fight. He is very focused and very comfortable in Omaha. We spent some time before we came to Omaha training at Freddie Roach’s Wild Card Boxing Club
.
JULIUS INDONGO: Thank you very much for this opportunity. I know Crawford is a very good and tough fighter and this is a big event. Šeštadienį naktis, I will give everything I have and my focus and my game plan and everything is in position. Just waiting for the weigh-in. I try and not say too much before the fight, which is something that I am used to. I prefer to do it in the ring when my opponent is standing in front of me so I can do my work. I have been in boxing for a long time and not many people know me. I believe this is the time for me to show the world that a boxer from Africa from Namibia can beat a guy fighting in his home in front of his people. This is the best way to do it. I am confident in my styles and techniques that I have learned from years ago. Šeštadienį naktis, it is going to be boxing – I am not sure if there is going to be a knockout but I know I can do that if I have to. I can say now that I have trained hard and my trainer is always there.
TODD duBOEF: I also want to thank the organizations for accommodating this match because there was everyone trying that had fighters that had mandatories working behind the scenes to help put this unification together. We are all appreciative of everybody working together to help bring this match with the participants with all four titles of the organizations. We are very appreciative of them assisting Matchroom and Top Rank.
JULIUS INDONGO: Taip. I would like to also thank the organizations and Top Rank and Matchroom for pushing this fight and helping the negotiations to make this fight happen – for making it all possible.
You have two titles now, but what is your view of the possibility of having all four titles?

JULIUS INDONGO: My view of this is that I have not focused much on that since I have been busy in the gym. I have not focused on anything but making sure of my performance šeštadienį naktis. My focus has been in the gym to make sure my game will be the best ever. No one will ever forget about this fight. The organizations were involved in making this fight happen and I appreciate that but I won’t think much about having four titles until the fight is over.

How will it feel walking out of the ring with four belts?

JULIUS INDONGO: It’s going to mean a lot to me – it will mean all of the hard work and determination got that achievement and it will create more opportunity for me. I will travel the world with the four titles. I will take them back to Africa – to my country. I am going to be very, labai laiminga
.
How hard was it to get the organizations to go along with this?
TODD duBOEF: It was very difficult. We had to work hand in hand with Matchroom because obviously Matchroom and Indongo had two belts and Top Rank and Crawford had two belts and there were mandatories and everything that was coming into play. There were people that we had to appeal to and we said, “Ei, this is a rare opportunity that we are able to do this. Let’s try and work together and have a positive solution for the sport of boxing and I think we delicately managed it.
How long do you think the winner will be able to hold onto those titles?

TODD duBOEF: I think we should ask that question to the winner, not before we have a winner. (A), we don’t know who is going to win – Indongo thinks he is going to win and Crawford thinks he is going to win. Then at that point we will have to see what the order is, who has the mandatory, what order of fights and if all of the organizations can get together and if they can great and if they can’t it will be up to the fighter to make the decisions. And up to the promoters. I think it is premature to discuss that right now.

How has your life changed since you won the two titles?
JULIUS INDONGO: The thing that has really changed is – I do still live in my town in Namibia – and I try to stay focused and try do the right thing in the public. When someone becomes known to the whole country, most importantly I try not to roll with the wrong friends. I try and stay home and go to church after work and I do my training program twice a day. That’s the only way that I could say it can be done.
Do you live in the same place?
JULIUS INDONGO: Taip, that is where I am staying and where I train. All of the people are very friendly. We don’t have too much of a division within the people of everyone in the country, especially in the city. There is nothing that can distract me wherever I stay or whatever I do – everyone will know in Namibia.
How much better is Crawford than Ricky Burns or Troyanovsky?
JULIUS INDONGO: I cannot really say much on that because when I fought Troyanovsky and Ricky Burns they were both easier fights than I fought in the last fight, that I fought from home. The two world title fights that I challenged in were the best training that I have trained. I had never been as focused with the best game plan so it made it the easiest fights for me. They were both easier than we ever thought they would be because of the focus on them and the game plan.

Why were you able to focus more for those two fights?

JULIUS INDONGO: The other fights were happening at home and we used to be too much like let a lot of people in the camp – we used to share invitations – for the two last fights anyway. The fight was for the championship so there was something that we needed to achieve and change and to improve our image (if we want) to be known in the world. We had to have focus only on me and the potential and that’s the only way the world was going to get to see me. The promotion had known what was happening with me and letting everyone else know. So now everyone was going to see something new again, Aš žinau,. I have no doubt. Aš žinau,. All I can say is just only if maybe knockout come it may be late. But waking up, the day of fight, be skillful and focused – everything is in position. The crowd or the fans, or Terence’s home crowd won’t intimidate me – that is nothing, I cannot afford it, so I travel the same way – it is always the same.

Since you won in the hometowns of the last two titles fights how much confidence does that give you?

JULIUS INDONGO: Tikrai, they are different conditions. I don’t particularly mind because it is already past. My focus is that it is a blessing from God to keep me and not to let me wander in a sense, and to ask for a provision for myself, my president and my commander in the office that wherever I travel I will be representing all of Namibia. It’s like I have the whole country of Namibia on my shoulders issued by my president so I have to rely on the game plan and that is the confidence that I rely. Taip, if I am stepping there I know that my country and Africa is on my shoulders and when the team travels from Namibia to the fight I can only focus on the fight so it motivated me a lot. Taip, I have to focus only on this fight.

Where did you train for this fight?
JULIUS INDONGO: When I saw Crawford requested to fight the winner of the fight between me Troyanovsky, which is when I started training for this fight because we don’t have any power and the only way to rely on the big guns when they are requested for it. Taip, when they gave us the offer we had to go for it so that’s when I started training. I trained at home in Namibia – where I have always been training. (He came to the States early and trained in Freddie Roach’s gym in Hollywood).

What have you noticed in the viewership of the fights on ESPN?

TODD duBOEF: One thing I am looking forward to šeštadienį is Kurt Warner just finished his [Hall of Fame induction] speech so we won’t have to deal with that šeštadienį. This is all part of a long-term game plan of making these fighters come alive to the sports fan. Obviously there has been an incredible amount of promotion before the Pacquiao fight and mirrored with an incredible amount of promotion for the Lomachenko fight on August 5th and ESPN will be flipping the switch this weekend, taking the weigh-in live and doing all of the same consistent promotion and this is wonderful for the people that are interested in boxing. Everything has been terrific and to get two of the top guys in front of people that are watching the NFL, NBA and Major League Baseball are able to see the highest level of fights is just a positive step for the sport.

Has there been a change in demographic of who is watching the fights?

TODD duBOEF: I don’t think there has been a change in demographic I think the perception of the boxing demographic in the United States has been unfortunately tight-capped – an older demographic. We are looking at these numbers and obviously 18-49 is the number that everybody wants and even with Kurt Warner and the rest of the Hall of Fame going on we went straight up against UFC that night and beat them in both 18-49 ir 18-34 which are the most important demos. And I think additionally, for ESPN that week, we were the second highest rated 18-49 program with the Lomachenko broadcast and in fact over 50% of our audience was 18-49 where baseball was about 32%. We think that the story that it is an old sport and old people don’t care about it, which was largely spun out by UFC years ago and I think to a certain point there was some truth to it – older demos were on premium channels – the fact is this is very positive, jaunas, multi-cultural through the roof and we are excited to put this on this broad platform.

Is it easy to focus and do what you need to do in your homeland?

JULIUS INDONGO: I don’t think I have an issue with the fans or the population because it is already something I am aware of. All I have is to train and just be focused on Crawford and my game plan and do good on my preparation.
Indongo has come so far – a year ago no one knew who he was and now he is on this huge platform…

TODD duBOEF: This is not an outlier – tai bokso. This is what happens with boxing. This is no different than Azumah Nelson coming over on 10 days-notice and suddenly getting in the ring and making a name for himself in the United States. People can change the tide very quickly in the sport of boxing and that happens because of their performances and we have to recognize that his is a global sport. This is not the Premier League or the NFL or the NBA and we are relatively isolated to a small pool. Indongo is a very talented fighter who has probably worked his whole childhood figuring out how to master a trade. And that’s Julius Indongo and what he did was, the door of opportunity opens and he steps through it, and that is the story of boxing. There are countless stories like that and I think this is not a miraculous one but really goes back to what makes boxing so special. People that take advantage of those opportunities and suddenly a diamond in the rough is discovered.

What do you have to say about this activity – this is your 4th fight in just over a year?

JULIUS INDONGO: It really means a lot not only to me but also to my promotion where I train. When I began they weren’t planning to produce such an event or any opportunity like this or even that matches I had back home. It is something big and something huge and something useful and it is an appreciation for what Top Rank and Matchroom has put together and I appreciate these opportunities.

TODD duBOEF: We have given Terence all of the accolades about how great of a fighter he is, which we all know, but I didn’t know he was an internet sensation now. You have to talk about the Internet sensation! I thought this was the Brian McIntyre internet sensation in the last fight from “Camp Life,” but at the press conference rytoj you’ve got to show me your McGregor Challenge.

TERENCE CRAWFORD: It means a lot to me being it will be the first time that all four belts will be on the line at one time in the division’s history and it has only been done twice in boxing. I’m just ready for the moment and fight time this weekend.

Prior to Indongo’s 1st round KO in Russia, had your team ever heard of him?
TERENCE CRAWFORD: Ar ne, we never heard of Indongo and we never saw him fight other than the fight he had in Russia.
TERENCE CRAWFORD: Gerai, we wanted the Troyanovsky fight but he decided to go with Indongo so when we heard that he got knocked out, we looked at the replay and looked at the fight – that’s when we first took notice of who Indongo really was.
When he fought Ricky Burns who you are familiar with having beaten for the lightweight title, did you think you could make it happen or was it something Top Rank brought to you?

TERENCE CRAWFORD: We wanted the Ricky Burns fight at 140 as well but they didn’t want to take the fight so they wanted to take the fight with Indongo and perhaps later on in the year we could do the fight between me and Ricky Burns again but Indongo beat Ricky Burns, that’s when we took notice and said well he’s the guy with the other two titles so let’s see if we can make a fight with him and unify.

What do you feel about him traveling anywhere to anyone’s hometown to fight for titles?
TERENCE CRAWFORD: It shows a lot about his character and his confidence and his ability in the ring. Him being a two-time world champion in that short amount of time shows that he has a lot of confidence but at the same time he is a little older so he’s at the end of his career coming along so he doesn’t have a lot of choices for what he wants to do. He can’t wait around.

What do you think of Indongo as a fighter?

TERENCE CRAWFORD: Indongo is a good fighter. Jis yra geras boksininkas – he’s got good legs and he seems like he can punch. He doesn’t let his opponent get on the inside and do a lot of damage to him.
TODD duBOEF: Do you find any similarities between him and Postol?
TERENCE CRAWFORD: The only comparison I see is the height. They have two different styles. Postol was more straight up and down. Indongo is a little more elusive. I think Postol was a little more technical. Indongo can get a little wild at times.
Do you think Postol is better than Indongo?
TERENCE CRAWFORD: I can’t say that because I haven’t been in the ring with Indongo but I have been in the ring with Postol. You can see from the outside but once you get in the ring with somebody it can be a totally difference look so after the fight I can tell you.

What do you think about fighting on ESPN broadening you fan base?

TERENCE CRAWFORD: It can broaden the fan base it will give more people the opportunity to see who Terence Crawford really is. To display my talent and my skills to more people – I am just ready for Šeštadienis to come so I can show more people who Terence Crawford really is.

BRIAN McINTYRE: I am just ready for us to get out there so Terence can show what he’s been working on in camp. I want him to unify and make history and the 140-pound division. We can also silence all of the critics that have been saying that his resume is not as good as some fighters. Not only me but also the whole entire team is excited. I know he is excited to, to get out there and show ESPN what everybody has been hearing – that he is a great boxer and a damn good puncher and how he can switch from both sides. Taip, Aš susijaudinęs. I’m excited for the kid and I’m excited for his family. I am excited for everybody.

The winner will have all four belts, which is historic. Will that fighter also be considered pound-for-pound champion?
TERENCE CRAWFORD: Žinoma, I think I have been doing a lot in the sport of boxing and I have had my name mentioned in the top three. I will be looking forward to being the top one, or maybe two after this fight. It just depends on how people look at it. In my eyes, I think I am top two already, taip.
Has it been frustrating to you that you haven’t gotten credit that you deserve?
TERENCE CRAWFORD: I try to not think about that. I can’t worry about what the person thinks about me or says about me. At the end of the day I’m the one that has to go in there and take the punches. A lot of people criticize me for who I am fighting because maybe I am not their favorite fighter or maybe I am doing better than their favorite fighter, or there is a fighter that they want to see me fight and the fight doesn’t happen or it does happen then I beat them. Then they say, ‘oh the only reason Terence won was because he is short’ or ‘he won because he was basic’ – there is always going to be an excuse with those types of people.
TODD duBOEF: We are in a sport that gets dissected constantly by people that are haters, people that have agendas and at the end of the day when you have a kid like Terence Crawford who is brilliant in the ring, we just let the people decide what it is. We are going to be sold out in Lincoln, Nebraska and we just did 10,000 people in New York – we are not going to chase the game of people and bloggers and things like that that want to be hating because you will never win that game.
How many will Pinnacle hold?
TODD duBOEF: It is going to hold just over 10,000.
What are your thoughts fighting in Lincoln?
TERENCE CRAWFORD: I am excited about it being that it’s our state capital and where the Nebraska football team plays. It is a nice arena and I always wanted to fight in there. They brought me down there to watch a couple of games and I was always imagining it would be a nice arena to fight in. Everyone around there always welcomed me with open arms telling me ‘you need to come fight here, you need to come fight here.’ So I am excited that I was able to make that happen. It’s about a 45-minute drive from Omaha.
TODD duBOEF: Just imagine, between a 45-minute drive you’ve got Lady GaGa in Omaha and Terence Crawford in Lincoln – not a bad entertainment night in a small area. Brian are you going to the fight or Lady GaGa?
BRYAN McINTYRE: Well I am going to go to GaGa as soon as we knock this dude off. I know her personally.
CARL MORETTI: Terence is probably boxing’s most active champion at this moment. His last defense was three months ago against Felix Diaz and he fought in December before that and June before that. Taip, if you look just before he won the lightweight title it may be eight title defenses į 27 mėnesių. I don’t think you can find a more active champion that has gotten better in the ring defending his title more than Crawford.
How important is it to be active?
TERENCE CRAWFORD: It is very important. I am trying to get my name out there and trying to get the recognition that I deserve. I’m still young and in my prime.
What does it mean if Terence is able to knock out Indongo šeštadienį naktis.

BRIAN McINTYRE: That would be lovely – to do it in good fashion like that, you can’t ask for nothing better. You know if you look for a knockout it’s not there.

If you win you have all of the belts – would you rather stay there or move up?
I am at 140 now and come Šeštadienis that is my main focus is Julius Indongo. We’ll see how the fight goes and after that double back around and see what the next move will be.

How is it when you have quick turnaround to training camp? Is it easier?

TERENCE CRAWFORD: Training camp is never easy. It’s always hard but at the same time, I just had a fight and getting back into the gym and back in the groove of everything. It’s tougher when you have a long period of time off because this time I was somewhat in shape.

It seems like you were having fun in camp. Is that normal?

TERENCE CRAWFORD: We like to have some fun in training camp. Training camp is always hard work but have fun, hard work, have fun, hard work – if you don’t love what you are doing then you need to get a difference job. We are dancing every single training camp that we had and play around – that is the different types of things that we do. Į “Camp Life” it might be the first time that people actually got to see that outer Terence Crawford.
Is that important to you to get that out?
TERENCE CRAWFORD: It’s important for my brand but at the same time it is just I. I am not into publicizing my every move – make a video and say, ‘oh this is what I do for a living,’ Aš tiesiog eiti su srauto.
If you consider yourself Number 2 pound for pound, who do you say is Number 1?
TERENCE CRAWFORD: Andre Ward.
Where were you when you first saw McGregor do his warm-up?
TERENCE CRAWFORD: I was coming from the gym and everyone was watching a video and I asked what it was, then I said I am going to try that. A couple of days passed then I got everyone together to do the McGregor Challenge.
What’s the best response you’ve gotten since that video went up?
TERENCE CRAWFORD: I’ve been getting all kinds of response – I have been getting hate response, prejudice response, I’ve been getting a lot of positive response. People are telling me McGregor will beat me up. I just laugh – we are just having fun with it.

LAKELAND, FL. (Birželis 13, 2016) – Exciting super welterweight Joseph Elegele (16-2 11 Kos) showed his strength and power Sekmadienis naktį į pagrindinį renginį Premier Boksas Čempionų: Kitas turas Bounce TV as he went toe-to-toe with Philas Lo graikų(27-3, 15 Kos) už 10 hard-fought rounds from The Lakeland Center in Lakeland, FL. Both combatants left it all in the ring, exchanging punches throughout the bout with close rounds that left the audience wanting more.
Elegeleof nearby Winter Haven, FL started the bout coming forward, slightly stunning Toronto’s Lo Greco with several flurries of punches that set the tone for a hard fought back and forth battle. The action picked up in round two as Lo Greco came in on the attack early in the round, pinning Elegele against the ropes and continuing to pepper him with punches to the body and the head.
Despite being taken aback by the attack, Elegele came roaring back in the final seconds of round two and out of the corner to kick off round three. Lo Greco remained in the pocket, not afraid to continue to throw wide left hooks as the fighters traded punches back and forth.
As the fight continued, Lo Greco backed Elegele up against the ropes, smothering him with punches despite Elegele’s four-inch height advantage. But round six was completely controlled by Elegele as he threw a combination of bruising punches that very well could have sent Lo Greco to the canvas. However Lo Greco remained in the pocket. In the 10th and final round, Štai graikų išėjo stiprus, outworking Elegele, but with less than 20 seconds to go in the bout, Elegele stunned Lo Greco with a barrage of punches up against the ropes. Judges scored the bout 97-95 ir 96-94 dvigubai, all for Elegele, the winner by unanimous decision.

JOSEPH ELEGELE
“I wasn’t surprised because he’s a tough fighter, he’s a Canadian and Canadian fighters are tough. Jis atėjo kovoti. Tai buvo gera kova.
“It’s hard for anyone to find an answer for a straight left, but I was surprised he kept walking through it.
“I hope this win puts me on the next level. I’m ready for the top fighters. I know there are some things I can work on, but I am ready for the top fighters.
“I’m not sure what’s up with my left hand. It hurt me when I was throwing it, but I’m a warrior. I’ve been through too much in life to let a little left hand hurt me. It could be falling off and I’m still going to throw it.”
Phil LO GRECO
“It was his hometown. The score could have gone either way. I hurt him in the second round. He was out and the ref could have stopped the fight. That is no excuse. I will fight anyone, bet kur.
“I felt I was pushing the fight. I am disappointed in the decision.
“It’s up to the fans if they want to see me again. People see that I will fight anywhere and anyplace. I enjoyed tonight.”
DEVAUN LEE
“I don’t agree with the draw, Manau, kad laimėjau kovą. I would have been comfortable with a split decision. He worked, but I landed clean shots and I landed heavier punches. I feel like I won the fight. Jis turi galią, but he wasn’t powerful enough to stop me.
“Kitas, I’m ready for whatever they put in front of me. I would do it again.”
Craig Baker
“Lovett is a strong guy and he’s a hell of a competitor. He came to work and he tested me, so it is what it is, vienas.
“This is awesome, vienas. This is what I sweat and kill myself in the gym for. This win means the world to me.
“He never hurt me tonight. We stayed patient I do what we do. This is the biggest win of my career, but I won’t rest until I get a title.
“I’ll fight whoever next. I’ll be back in the gym soon and getting ready for whoever the put in front of me next.

Pažvelkite atgal BOSTON turtingą bokso ISTORIJA

BOSTON (Gegužė 20, 2015) – Bostono yra žinomas kaip gyvena kai kurie iš labiausiai aistringai sirgalių šalyje, bet daugelis negali žinoti, kad jis taip pat yra miesto, kad turi ilgą ir turtingą istoriją saldaus mokslo. Apie Šeštadienis, Gegužė 23, Pasaulio čempionatas Boksas oficialiai atgal Beantown jei toks Premier Boksas Čempionų apie NBC grąžina tarp užbaigimas Andre Dirrell ir Jamesas DeGale Bostono universiteto Agganis arenoje su aprėpties NBC pradedama brėžti 4:30 p.m. IR/1:30 p.m. PT.

 

Paskutinį kartą Bostono pamačiau Pasaulio čempionatas kovą buvo gegužės 23, 2006 kai du pasaulio čempionų titulą kovoja vyko TD Bank sodas, anksčiau Bostono sodas. Tą naktį matė britų superžvaigždė Ricky “Hitman” Hatton pralaimėjimas Luis Collazo į Papildsvars pasaulio čempiono titulą kovos, o Ericas Aiken nusiminusi anksčiau nenugalėtas Valdemir Pereira už lengvas pasaulio čempiono titulą.

“Kova su Bostono sodas buvo didelė garbė, Nekenkia į pasaulio čempiono titulą kovos, bet net keturių apvalesnės,” sakė Tonis DeMarco, kuris laimėjo Papildsvars pasaulio titulą 1955 Boston Garden. “Aš turėjau daugiau kovų ten nei bet kas (28), įskaitant ir mano pro debiutas. Jis visada gerai gesinimo namuose. Jūs esate patogesnis namuose. Ventiliatorių žinoti ir gerbti jus. Bostonas žiūrovai buvo realioje kovoje gerbėjai.”

 

Bostono buvo giliai investavo į bokso, nes anksti 20oji amžius. Nuo 1902-1908 Miestelyje Chelsea, kad ribojasi Boston tapo Mekos bokso kaip sportas buvo uždrausta beveik visoje Amerikoje. Tačiau, "Chelsea turėjo ypatingą potvarkį, kad legalizuoti boksas. Ji buvo per šį laiką, kad Jack Johnson buvo susiduria su tuo, ką jis pripažino, buvo sunkiausias kova savo karjerą, kai jis apgynė sunkiasvoris titulą prieš Sam Langford balandžio 6, 1906. Johnson laimėjo 15-apvalios vienbalsiu sprendimu ir atsisakė kovoti Langford vėl.

 

Papildomai, Fenway Park ", Garsus namų Bostono "Red Sox", Patalpinta 29 profesionalūs bokso kortelės tarp 1919 ir 1956. Be tik hostingas didelius kovas, Bostono taip pat parengė keletą Hall of Fame talento nužudė, kurie buvo arba gimusį Massachusetts arba vadinama būklė namų.

 

Pažymėtina vardai ROXBURY sunkiasvoriai čempionais Jonas L. Sullivan, Brockton sunkiasvoris Rocky Marcianoir Brockton gyvena ir vidutinio svorio čempionas Nuostabus Marvinas Hagler. Boston nuosavos lengvas čempionaiSmėlio Kalvis ir George'as Dixon plius Bostono rengėjas Kopijuoti Valenti visi buvo įtvirtinta Tarptautinės bokso šlovės muziejų.

 

“Kova Bostone buvo puiki patirtis,” sakė Jonas Ruiz, dviejų laiko sunkiasvoris pasaulio čempionas iš "Chelsea". “Kaip ir bet kuri sporto, Bostono sporto gerbėjai yra tikri gerbėjai, kurie sekti savo pažangą. Aš galėjau jausti savo emocijas, kur aš kovojo. Aš niekada pamiršti apie juos. Aš kovojo Las Vegase daug ir ten visada buvo Bostonas gerbėjai ten patvirtinantys mane. Aš visada dėkingi jiems keliaujant po visą šalį, kad mano kovų.”

 

Tėvas-Sūnus duetas iš Arlington, Mišios. tiek turėjo įtakos sunkiųjų kraštovaizdžio dešimtmečius poveikį po kiekvieno kito. Tomas McNeeley kovojo sunkiasvoris pasaulio čempionas Floyd Patterson į 1961 ir nukrito čempionas prieš galiausiai nusileido į ketvirtą etapą, nokautas. Per 30 metų, jo sūnus Petras buvo pirmasis žmogus, kovoti su Mike'as Tysonas kai jis buvo paleistas iš kalėjimo, su kova baigiasi McNeeley buvo diskvalifikuotas.

 

Vienas iš unikalių sportininkų išeiti iš Bostono, Dr. Wilbert “Skeeter” McClure buvo Olimpinio aukso medalio laimėtojas, psichologijos daktaras ir Masačusetso bokso komisaras. Nors ne 1960 Olimpinės žaidynės, McClure tarnavo kaip bendro kapitonas Team JAV ir buvo kolegų aukso medalio laimėtojas kambarioku Cassius Clay. Nors jis niekada pasiekė savo potencialą, kaip profesionalus, jis gavo galimybę prieš pasaulinio lygio varžovus Luis Manuel Rodriguez du kartus irJose Torres, prarasti visus tris sprendimu. Jis taip pat prarado sprendimą ir kovojo lygiosiomis prieš Rubinas “Uraganas” Karteris. Po jo profesinę karjerą bokso, McClure tarnavo kaip Masačusetsas bokso komisaro prieš galiausiai išėjo į pensiją Bostono rajone, kur jis gyvena iki šios dienos.

 

Kitas labai gerbė kovotojas išeiti iš Bostono zonos yra Lowell s Micky Ward. Labai populiarus dėl savo patrauklių stilių, Ward parengta 38-13 Pro įrašas su 27 Knockouts. Jis buvo labiausiai žinoma dėl trijų Epas kovos Metų apdovanojimai kovose pabaigoje Arturo Gatti. Ward gyvenimas ir karjera buvo vaizduojama apdovanojimai kino “Kovotojas”, kuri vaidino Pažymėti Wahlberg, kaip Ward.

 

“Tai buvo puikus gesinimo Bostone. Fanai buvo labai palanki ir gerai nusimano apie žaidimą,” sakė Ward. “Tai buvo tarsi buvau kovos namie…jis buvo namuose man, kaip kovotojui. Ventiliatoriai daug keliavo mano muštynes, taip pat. Jie buvo šiek tiek beprotiška, gėrė daug alaus ir buvo daugiau vokalo nei daugumoje vietų, aš kada nors kovojo. Man patiko.”

 

Apie Šeštadienis, Gegužė 23 naujo derliaus jaunų ir alkanas kovotojų bus padėtas visa tai ant linijos, tikiuosi rašyti kitą įdomų skyrių bokso istoriją Bostono mieste. Veiksmas prasideda 1:30 p.m. IR viduje Agganis Arenoje.

Ir. Rodriguezas

Dabar, Aš sutelktas į Baker. Jis nenugalėtas alkanas kovotojas, bet tai tikslas. Noriu kovoti geriausią vaikiną, kad aš galiu įrodyti, kad aš esu geriausias. Adonis Stevenson yra geras kovotojas.

Gerai, Aš tikrai įspūdį su patobulinimų, kad jis padarytų. Matau jį stumia į priekį, stumia klausimus ir visada savo veidą. Tai gerai. Man patinka, kad. Tuo dienos pabaigos, Aš tiesiog parodyti ir kovoti su. Štai kaip aš žaidimą. Turiu pareikšti savo A žaidimą bet kuriuo metu, ir tai, ką darau.

 

Klausimas

Aš ieškojau ne iš jūsų oponentų daug įrašų. Jūs kovojo daug vaikinai su gana prastų. Kodėl taip yra ir kodėl jums padaryti žingsnis iš kovų prieš porą?

 

C. Kepėjas

Aš tiesiog jaučiau, kad atėjo laikas, vienas.

 

Klausimas

Edvinas, kas įspūdį jums apie Craig Baker?

 

Ir. Rodriguezas

Jis yra alkanas kovotojas ir nesvarbu, kas jis kovojo. Jis nenugalėtas ir jūs negalite imtis undefeated kovotojas lengvai, ypač vienas, kad nugalėjo vaikinas, kad turėjo daugiau 400 mėgėjai kovoja ir buvo didelis perspektyva privalumus, kaip Savigne. Jūs negalite imtis panašaus Craig Baker vaikinas švelniai.

 

Klausimas

Jūs nugalėjo nepralaimi kovotojai praeityje. Taip, Kaip Jūsų pasikliovimo lygmuo vyksta, kai jūs kovojate ką nors, kas neprarado?

 

Ir. Rodriguezas

Manau, iš mano įgūdžių daug, ir aš esu labai pasitikintys, bet aš nesu kvaila. Žinau, kad kovotojas, kuris yra nenugalėtas ateina su labai stipria mentaliteto ir aš esu pasirengęs. Aš dirbu sunku šioje kovoje, žinant, kad šis vaikinas yra nenugalėtas ir aš turiu imtis, kad nuo jo. Bet tuo pačiu metu,, mes turime gerbti visus, nes mes visi konkurentai ir svabiausia ieško gerai ir laimėti, ir jis tiesiog mano būdas dabar.

Jamesas DeGale

Klausimas

Tai yra James. Tai jūsų pirmasis kova Jungtinėse Valstijose, taip pat, Tai yra pirmas kartas, daug žmonių ketinate gauti jus pamatyti, nes jūs ketinate būti per nacionalinę televiziją. Ko tikitės kalbant apie energijos ir ką ji ketina būti, pavyzdžiui, atliekantis visiškai naują auditoriją?

 

J. DeGale

Taip. Aš laukiu jai. Aš naudojamas tai, kaip gerai, nes akivaizdu atgal į Angliją aš skatinamas Matchroom, gerai žinomas prekybos bendrovė. Taip, Aš dėžutė ant didelių šou priešais 10,000-20,000 žmonės. Tai turėtų būti geras. Jie turi airių ir anglų daug ten. Taip, Turėčiau turėti tam tikrą gerą paramą ir aš laukiu jo.

 

Klausimas

Leiskite tolesnių su kitu klausimu. Buvo laikas, kad atkreipei dėmesį į išėjimo iš sporto ir tapti asmeninis treneris. Ar galite kalbėti apie tai šiek tiek ir žvalgosi atgal, tu malonu jums padarė teisingą sprendimą ir toliau tai daryti boksą?

 

J. DeGale

Taip. Tai gana paprasta. Buvau išgyvena sunku su mano promotoriaus tuo metu ir buvau šiek tiek prislėgtas, nes aš ne gauti savo galimybes, ir aš buvo ne gauti teisingus kovų ir aš supakuota mažose parodose. Aš iš esmės buvo šiek tiek sumažintos, ir aš negalėjau motyvuoti save tinkamai. Taip, Taip, kad buvo taip, kaip buvo ir tada aš padariau, kad Matchroom ir ką keisti ką tik dingo iš gana blogai tikrai puikus.

 

Akivaizdžiai, Mano paskutiniai du spektakliai kalbėti už save programą. Aš supakuota Brandon Gonzales, nenugalėtas Amerikos, įsitikinęs Amerikos. Jis ateis į Ameriką ir aš supakuota jam priešais 80,000 žmonių ir išjudinti jį iš keturių raundų.

 

Tada po keturių mėnesių, Aš supakuota Periban. Jei jūs nežinote, Marco Antonio Periban, jis supakuota sakė BIC ​​už pasaulio čempiono titulą ir prarado sprendimu padalinto ir aš išjudinti jį iš trimis etapais. Taip, Aš tikiu. Jaučiuosi gerai, ir aš motyvuoja labai gerai minutę.

 

Klausimas

Kitas, kai prarado Ieškote brolis, jis prarado artimas sprendimas .What buvo jūsų pokalbis su Anthony kaip, nes jūs prarado artimą kovą galvojote jūs laimėjo. Taip, Kaip jums pavyko kalbėtis su juo apie tai, kaip per tą dingimą?

 

A. Dirrell

Gerai, Aš neturėjau daug pasakyti, nes jis buvo įsitikinęs, po kovos, bet aš gana daug buvo jam suprasti, kad jūs turėjo blogą naktį, kai jis turėjo siaubingas stovykla, bet manau, kad tai, kur jis jį paliko. Jis paliko jį, kad. Kai jis atėjo kovoti laiką, Jis turėjo keletą nesėkmių veda į kovą ir, deja,, jis prarado, bet mes matėme daug dalykų, kad jam reikia ištaisyti. Pasakiau jam žiūrėti kovą vėl ir vėl, nes tai, ką aš padaryti mano kovos, bet kova, kad jaučiuosi blogai apie. Taip, Aš tiesiog pasakiau jam išlaikyti savo pasitikėjimą iki, vyras ir likti toje perspektyvoje, vienas. Negalima atleisti ne visi. Tai viskas, ką galime padaryti, vienas. Aš daug ko išmokau iš ankstesnės patirties ir vienas dalykas yra tikras,; Jūs negalite imtis nieko iš praeities ir jį į ateitį. Tik pasitikėjimas.

 

Taip, Jaučiuosi gerai, vienas. Jis susijaudinęs man ir aš ruošiuosi laikyti tą vardą gyvas ir išlaikyti Dirrell vardą vyksta.

 

Klausimas

Visi kalba apie super middleweights, jie kalbėti apie Andre Ward. But it seems like some people forget how good of a boxer that you are because you had to take this time off. With this being on NBC and getting in front of a large audience, are you looking at this as an opportunity to put your name back in that conversation for people who may have forgotten how good Andre Dirrell is?

 

A. Dirrell

People know and in the end, it’s my job to keep my name lean. I haven’t had the opportunity to do that as well. I had a major setback as well, but with that I stayed in the game, stayed sharp. I was sharp in my last couple of performances. I’m looking forward to the future and this is the breakout fight like I said. James is one hell of a fighter. He has a lot of heart, a lot of spunk, a lot of energy, vienas, and he wants to win.

 

If you want to put me in front of a fighter for a world championship fight, then James DeGale is bar none one of the best to do it in front of. Taip, I’m excited about this fight. I think this is probably one of the biggest fights from Premier Boxing Champion that they’ve had and I’m excited to be on that big stage. Taip, I want a breakout performance and I did everything in camp to make sure I can do so.

 

Klausimas

How does it feel to be the first Brit on the verge of making some boxing history?

 

J. DeGale

Jis jaučiasi puikiai, but I need to stay focused and keep my eye out on the prize. That’s what I have to do. Bet, zinai ka? A lot of people say I’m obsessed about making history, about becoming the first Olympic gold medalist from Great Britain to win a genuine world title. Bet žinote ką? Aš esu. I am because that’s what drives me and that’s what makes me train hard every day. Taip, Taip, Aš laukiu jai.

 

Klausimas

Gerai, and you touched on a little bit there. I mean not so long ago you were boxing in front of a couple of hundred people at the shopping center in Blue Water and now you’re making noise on TV in America. How does that feel, the difference?

 

J. DeGale

Gerai, it’s fantastic. Sure a lot of credit has to go to Eddie Hearn. I’m a buzz fire. I like the big audience. I like the big lights. I’m just feeling real relaxed, chilled and ready to perform kitą šeštadienį. I’m buzzing. I really can’t wait; just being in America and knowing that I’m going to make my debut kitą šeštadienį in front of millions of Americans and back in the UK as well. It’s going to be fantastic.

 

Klausimas

Kitas, this fight seems to be your highest profile fight since five years ago when you had the Abraham fight, when he got DQ’ed. You were leading at that time. Can you tell us at this point, where are you physically and mentally compared to where you were when you were obviously at the top of the division five years ago?

 

A. Dirrell

Gerai, I look at it all from a mental aspect. As of now, vienas, I’m grown tremendously in my mind. I’ve realized how important boxing is to me and what it takes to become world champion, the work you have to put in and I just follow those guidelines every day. I’m a very motivated fighter, very self-motivated. A lot of fighters run with music, have to listen to music.

 

If I can hear my punches while I’m hitting the bag, I’m motivated. Taip, nothing motivates me more than hard work and that’s all I look for. The fight is won in the gym, not on fight night. It’s what you do in the gym, not how hard you put up a fight.

 

I’ve done all of that and more. I feel very relaxed. I’m very energetic and I’m feeling the vibe already and I really can’t wait to make Šeštadienis pats. I feel I have a lot to prove and I have a different Andre Dirrell to show, one that’s just as sharp, just as fast, just as brave, but just has a bigger mental capacity. I’m excited about next week.

 

Klausimas

What do you think your advantages are over James DeGale in this fight?

 

A. Dirrell

We’re pretty much evenly matched and I actually like that scenario because I know I’m faster. I know I’m smarter and I know I’m a better boxer. It’s just as simple as that. Bet, none of that can come into play without hard work, and I know he’s worked his ass off, vienas. He has to come over to America just like I went over there to England to try to fight for a world championship.

 

I know what kind of guy I’m going to face come the 23rd. I’ve worked my butt off like I said, , and with those advantages, I’ve put the hard work in so I can display that. I just feel like I’ll be the better man that night.

 

Klausimas

James, tell us why you think you’re confident that you’re going to be able to win this fight?

 

J. DeGale

Momentum is a big thing. Look at my last two performances against good, quality opponents and look his last three. Klausyti, I come from good pedigree and so does Andre. We’re good, quality, young fighters. But I just think overall, I’m better. I think he struggles. He doesn’t like it when it gets hard in there. He’s a competent fighter, but he likes it when he’s dictating the pace and he’s on the front foot.

 

Well listen, I’m not going to let him rest. He thinks this is going to be a boxing match. Gerai, this ain’t. I’m telling him now. This ain’t going to be a boxing match. I’m going in there and I’m taking the title. I’m taking it. I’m ripping it away from him.

 

Klausimas

Do you think you’re a really improved fighter? I know that the loss that you had to Groves was very controversial, but how much do you think you’ve improved since that fight with Groves?

 

J. DeGale

It’s like night and day. Klausyti, and another thing, I was in this for two years as well. I had two operations on my groin. Taip, I couldn’t throw my shots with any power. I couldn’t run the ring properly. Even in the fight at Wembley in front of 80,000 Nebuvau 100% teisė. Even against Periban I wasn’t 100% teisė. Now I’m 100% teisė, fully healthy, fully focused and mentally right. Taip, you’re going to see me step up again kitą šeštadienį.

 

Klausimas

James, you mentioned about being a buzz fighter and this is the biggest stage, the biggest pressure you’ve ever been under. Taip, does this mean we’re going to see your best ever performance?

 

J. DeGale

I honestly do. The way I’ve been in the gym training, treniruotės, veikia, I honestly think you’re going to see the performance of my career so far. My last couple of fights after my injuries have been sorted and I just got better and better and I think this one is going to top it and winning my world title as well and making history.

 

Klausimas

Bet, do you deal with the pressure and does that inspire you more?

JamesI thrive on it. Jūs žinote, man. I thrive in it. I’m just looking forward to it. As I say, it’s my debut as a professional in America. Taip, I’m buzzing right now. You don’t understand. I’m just really looking forward to it.

 

Klausimas

Kitas. You’ve obviously fought Carl Froch and you’ve watched video of James I imagine. How do they compare as fighters and who do you rate as a better fighter?

 

A. Dirrell

As far as skill, I can give it to James DeGale, but as far as toughness, mental toughness, physical toughness, that’s Carl Froch. We all know how mentally strong he is. Taip, I have to give the edge to Carl Froch in that aspect, but as I said before, I know DeGale is coming to fight and no one gets in that ring and fights me as they want to fight. You know what I’m saying? Just like he thinks it’s going to be an easy fight. I feel like I have a lot more to prove as well.

 

Taip, I’m looking to bring the fight as well and I’m working hard in the gym. I made it tough on myself. The more pressure you actually put on me, the more dangerous I become.

 

I’m really excited as well, vienas. I have a lot to prove. He has a lot to prove. This is going to be the best fight yet on Premier Boxing Champions.

 

Klausimas

Basically for Andre, there was a chance obviously this fight could end up going to Britain. You’ve been to Britain before and you were very unlucky against Carl Froch. Was that something you were against, to face another title fight in Britain?

 

A. Dirrell

I’m not going to say that because I enjoyed my time over there. I believe I won the fight like I said and it just didn’t go my way unfortunately. I don’t like to judge my future fights based on past. I look forward to fighting in Britain again, in England again, the UK again whenever that day may come. I had a lot of fans over there; I have a lot of fans over there and I enjoy my time over there. I’ve been going over there since the amateurs. I enjoy it very much and I’m a world-class fighter. Taip, I want to be displayed on a world-class level.

 

I’m definitely looking forward to it. If it was over there, if it had to be over there, tebūnie. I would have came over there to fight James. We are world competitors, world-class. We fight for world titles. Why should it be in America all the time? This is a world-class sport and we should treat it like one.

 

Klausimas

Arthur Abraham kind of robbed you of your great win when he hit you on the floor. That was looking like such a great performance that night. In the sort of layup after that, how close did you come to actually having to retire? Was there ever a time you thought you might not box again?

 

A. Dirrell

I was going through some stuff with my family. I actually wanted to. I knew in my heart that I’d get my time again. I knew my time would come. I knew I had a chance of getting out of my contract. Taip, I kept training. Žinoma, there were times that I would hit slumps and feel like I’m doing it for nothing, but it was quite a stressful time for me. I think I always knew that I would be able to get back in that ring. Taip, I stayed busy and it didn’t really totally veer me away from the sport, but I do know the feeling.

 

I did feel like any moment could come up to where that it could be over just like that and I had to deal with it and I could easily retire. If it happened again, I just might. I knew that my time was coming again. There’s always hope there. I just kept pushing forward and here I am now.

 

Klausimas

One for you, James, quickly. You’re in Florida now. Can you tell us where you are and how’s it going?

 

J. DeGale

Taip, ne, I’m in Miami. I’ve been training here for the past week. Taip, we climatized and we adjusted and we’re ready to go.

 

L. DiBella

O'Connor vs. Baker will put two of the most popular fighters in the New England area on display as the slick boxing O’Connor will look to pick apart the hard-charging Gilbert. The bout will be the final event of the evening and close down the show in spectacular fashion at Agganis Arena.

 

“I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to fight Chris in Boston,” sakė O'Connor. “Being able to do what I love in front of my hometown fans that have supported me since day one is very meaningful to me”

 

“I’m very excited to have the opportunity to fight on such an amazing card,” said Gilbert. “I’m coming off a first round knockout last week and I plan to bring the same intensity, aggressiveness and hard hitting style into the ring this week. O’Connor has been at the top of the welterweight division, whether in the amateurs or pros, and I’m excited to see how my skills compare.”
