Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday:

GERVONTA DAVIS

“My team and I decided to move our camp to Las Vegas so we could have a perfect camp. We spent 15 weeks in training, so I’m well prepared. Hopefully Leo is well prepared and we give the fans what they want to see.

“We know Leo is going to come with a lot of punches and I’m going to be explosive. It’s all about giving fans a treat. I’m grateful to be in this position and I’m ready. Saturday night is going to be a memorable night.

“Not to take anything from him, Yuriorkis Gamboa was just trying to survive against me. It’s harder to get punches off when someone isn’t trying to bring the fight. I know Leo is going to come to fight. I think this performance is going to put me up to the next level.

“I don’t think I have to knock him out, I just have to go out there and be great. Forget everything else, I just have to go out there and show everyone that I’m the top guy in the boxing world. That’s my main goal.

“Michael Jordan used to read the paper and do what they said he couldn’t do. That’s what I’m doing. I have to prove that I’m the baddest man in the sport on Saturday night.

“Leo is going to come to fight and it’s just about me stepping up and doing what I do best. You can see the potential in a fighter from the outside, but you have to see it actually come out in a fight to believe it. That’s the position I’m in. Everyone knows I’m great, I just have to show it.

“Leo has shown that he’s a top tier fighter, and he’s going up against an explosive, powerful fighter like myself. I think the winner should be in the top 10 of the pound-for-pound list.

“Floyd Mayweather has just told me to stay focused despite everything that comes with pay-per-view week. I have to get the job done first, but also do everything that comes with being the next pay-per-view star.

“I’m one of those fighters that knows how to focus when I have something big in front of me. None of the great fighters before me have frozen up when it’s crunch time. I’ve always been able to focus when big things are on the line. That’s what I did for this training camp.

“I’m not really focused on anyone who isn’t Leo Santa Cruz. I can’t overlook Leo. As far as any other fighter out there, they just don’t matter to me right now. I’ll prove it along the way. This is one step closer to proving the point I want to prove.”

LEO SANTA CREU

“This is what I’ve always dreamed of. When I was a little boy, I wanted to be on this stage. I’m living that dream and I’m very happy and excited. I never thought I’d accomplish it. I thought it was like winning the lottery. But thanks to the fans, I’m here where I’m at.

“I’m facing the best fighter in the division. If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best. I have to go against the best fighter. I wanted to challenge myself. I know this is a dangerous fight for me, but I want to test myself.

“We’ve both suffered and been through a lot to get here. Neither of us wants to go back to where we started. So I know we’re both going to give a great fight to the fans.

“I have the heart of a Mexican warrior. My dad has told me to fight a smart fight, but even though he’s going to say that, there’s a good chance I end up brawling with him at times. No importa que, we’re going to find a way to beat him.

“I don’t really worry about being the underdog. Everyone has their opinion. It’s my job to go out there and prove the doubters wrong. I trained hard to go out there and do that Saturday.

“Gervonta is the best opponent I’ve faced. He’s the strongest fighter I’ll have faced. The Abner Mares and Carl Frampton fights were great experience for this kind of fight. I learned a lot from those four fights and since then I’ve learned a lot more.

“It would mean the world to me to become a five-division champion. It would be another dream come true. I would put the Santa Cruz last name right up there with the best.

“Gervonta is a big guy and I know he’s going to come hit hard. But I’ve trained with bigger guys all camp and I’ve been able to take everything thrown at me.

“The fans want you to go and make it a back and forth war. I know against Gervonta I have to fight smart. I’m going to just try as hard as I can to listen to my father’s advice.

“I definitely took this fight to quiet the critics. People said I didn’t want to fight the big names. So I went after the biggest challenge in the division and that’s Gervonta Davis.

“I leave the opinions to the fans and media. My job is to get the win and give the fans a great fight. I’m going to give it my best and leave it all in the ring.”

CALVIN FORD, Davis’ Trainer

“Camp has been great. It was unbelievable. I really appreciate the work that he put in. I can’t wait to see Tank in the ring. I’m looking forward to great performances from both fighters.

“’Tank’ accomplished a lot of things that I’ve asked him to do, but this is the pinnacle of them all right here. Both of these families have walked the same line with different trails. They both have a chance to become greats with this win.

“Every time I look at ‘Tank’ now, I flash back to those younger years in the gym with him as a child. Now he’s the man I’ve always looked at him to be. He’s a family man, business man and a wonderful fighter. It’s amazing to see one of my boys all grown up.”

JOSÉ SANTA CRUZ, Santa Cruz’s Father and Trainer

“We had a really good training camp and understand the importance of this fight. Leo is fully prepared for this fight on Saturday and I expect him to have a great performance.

“I’m very thankful to be here. I’m so happy to be here with my son for such a big fight and be able to guide him and help him accomplish his dream.

“We know that Davis is a very strong and accomplished fighter. But Leo has just used it to motivate him in the gym every day and you’ll be able to see that on Saturday.”

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, President, Sports and Event Programming, Showtime Networks Inc.

“One of the biggest reasons I love boxing is because we get to witness young men, like ‘Tank’ Davis and Leo Santa Cruz, develop and mature right in front of our eyes. This is our ninth fight with ‘Tank’ and 13º with Leo. We have seen them mature as fighters and we have seen them mature as young men. We’ve seen them struggle, suor, and triumph. We’ve seen them become fathers.”

“I remember the first time I met ‘Tank’, it was April 2016 a Washington, D.C. He was on the non-televised undercard of an Adrien Broner fight. He had already fought, he came over during the telecast and Floyd introduced him. I remember his very words, ‘This is my young fighter. Watch out for this kid.’ And we’ve been watching ever since.

“I remember the first time I met Leo was in June 2012. Shortly before his first world title fight. He was a very humble, quiet, soft spoken, almost shy young men. Very different from the guy that I saw in the ring about 48 hours after that. The point is, we’ve been along for the journey of these young men.

“They have been battling the odds, literally since birth. We were lucky enough to spend time with them during ALL ACCESS. They opened their hearts, their minds, and themselves to share their stories. The thing I’ve heard most is that the difficulty about this fight is not whether people want to watch it or whether they’re going to buy it, it’s who they’re going to root for. Because if you know these young men’s stories, what they’ve gone through, and what they’ve experienced, it is incredible.

“The bottom line is in these two young men we have two of the most accomplished and popular young fighters in the sport today. Leo has been a champion almost consistently since 2012. ‘Tank’ had sellouts or near sellouts in Los Angeles, Baltimore and Atlanta, just last year. We have got these two accomplished young men fighting on Saturday night. You have to respect their journey, d'on vénen, and respect the teams that come around him.

“We do know what’s going to happen on Saturday night. Leo is going to come into the ring, throw a lot of punches and show an activity rate that’s unlike just about anybody else in the sport. ‘Tank’ is going to show the power, velocitat, and the athleticism that has made him one of the fastest rising young stars that we’ve seen in sport in some time. Més enllà d'això, it will be up to them, just like it’s been up to them for their entire lives.”

JUAN HERALDEZ TRAINING CAMP NOTES

Leave a comment
“On October 31 everyone will see what I’m capable of," – Heraldez

Unbeaten Contender Juan Heraldez Faces Former World Champion Regis Prograis in SHOWTIME PPV® ActionSaturday, Octubre 31 Live From the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas in an Event Presented by Premier Boxing Champions

NOVA YORK – Octubre 16, 2020 – Unbeaten super lightweight contender Juan HERALDEZ is deep into training camp and shared insights into his preparations as he nears a showdown against former champion Regis "rougarou" Prograis en dissabte, Octubre 31 live on SHOWTIME PPV in a Premier Boxing Champions event headlined by Gervonta Davis vs. Leo Santa Cruz live from Alamodome in San Antonio.

“It’s been a long eight-week camp preparing for Prograis,” said Heraldez. “We’re fighting a different style of fighter, which is a good thing because he’s the type of fighter who comes to fight. A style like this makes it easier for me to train and prepare.

“Prograis has power, but you have to land it and that’s where my defense comes into play. My defense has always been a factor and it’s something we always tweak and find ways for me to be sharper. On paper his credentials are up there, but in the ring all of that goes out the door. When the bell rings, I’m not thinking about him being a former world champion. I fight and get the job done.”

Heraldez has adapted to the changes produced by training during the pandemic, and has been able to keep focused throughout camp. He credits the infrastructure at the Mayweather Boxing Club, where he trains in Las Vegas, for helping keep things running smoothly as he prepares to face his toughest opponent to date.

“The pandemic has had a slight effect on camp like it has with everything else,” said Heraldez. “There are so many protocols and safety measures, so you can’t just rotate sparring partners as easily as you could before. Adjusting to wearing a mask in the gym and getting tested constantly are things you learn to get used to. The Mayweather Boxing Club has done a great job of keeping the gym clean and safe for all of us. A lot of my stablemates are here in Las Vegas preparing for big fights, so it’s a great feeling knowing that we can come to a gym where safety is the top priority.”

The unbeaten Heraldez will return to the ring after fighting former world champion Argenis Mendez to a draw in May 2019 per SHOWTIME. Heraldez had put together an impressive string of victories dating back to a 2017 triumph over then-unbeaten Jose Miguel Borrego, and included a knockout win over Eddie Ramirez in February 2019 leading into the Mendez fight. Heraldez has continued to fine-tune his arsenal heading into the Prograis fight.

“My team and I have been working on various things such as my jab, but most importantly where I am in the ring at all times,” said Heraldez. “My ring awareness has elevated this camp. My coach and I keep things old school, we don’t have a strength and conditioning coach, we work on the basics and get better at them each camp. Boxing is simple. Stick and move and don’t get hit. The training I get from Coach Otis Pimpleton covers so many things such as cardio, tècnica, ring IQ, etcètera, so my job is just to listen to my team and trust them when I’m in camp and in the ring on fight night.”

While Heraldez is looking to improve on the draw in his last fight, Prograis will be seeking to bounce back from his first career defeat, a memorable 140-pound unification clash with Josh Taylor. With both fighters hungry for a win on October 31, Heraldez expects an exciting night for fans.

“On fight night, both of our styles are going to make for great action,” said Heraldez. “We both bring a lot to the ring. We’re both fighting to be the best, but on October 31, everyone will see what I’m capable of.”

NOVA YORK – Octubre 9, 2020 – Former world title challengerDiego Magdalenoshared insights into his training camp as he nears an IBF Lightweight Title Eliminator bout againstIsaac Cruzthat kicks off SHOWTIME PPV (9 p.m. ET / 6 pm. PT) action on Saturday, Octubre 31 from the Alamodome in San Antonio in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.
 
“This is my second fight working with ‘Bones’ Adams out of his gym in Las Vegas,” said Magdaleno. “I’ve actually known him since I was nine-years-old, so I consider him like my best friend. I trust him with my life. I’ve spent some time training for this fight in Scipio, Utah too, pulling hay bales and doing all sorts of interesting drills. I’ve gotten in some good sparring here in Vegas, and I even went out to California for some sparring, massa.
 
“I was on one of the last fight cards pre-pandemic, and I’m honored to be on the first fight card with a live crowd since the pandemic began. It’s been a hectic year, but I’m happy with where things are for me heading into this fight. Coach Adams has been doing a great job with training, but he also handles my strength and conditioning. He’s got a huge gym with a lot of motivated fighters and it’s great to be around that kind of atmosphere. And my fiancé has been handling my nutrition for my last four fights. Així, it’s great to have her involved also.”
 
Magdaleno returns to action after upsetting Austin Dulay in Dulay’s hometown of Nashville, Tenn. al febrer, dropping him in round seven on his way to a 10-round unanimous decision. He credits his team in training camp for the impressive performance against Dulay.
 
“I’ve always taken pride in being a professional, but I learned that I can be very dangerous with the right team around me,” said Magdaleno. “I went into that fight kind of being considered a steppingstone for Dulay, but I showed that I’m still a strong fighter. People counted me out and they made a mistake. I’m just super happy that I found Coach Adams and got a proper team organized around me. I was able to change people’s minds with just one fight. Now I’m in a title eliminator, and with a win on October 31, I’ll have my third shot at a world title.”
 
The 33-year-old has come up short in his most high-profile fights to date, dropping title bouts to Terry Flanagan and Roman Martinez, in addition to a 2019 loss against current lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez. With those experiences and an improved training structure around him, Magdaleno believes the lessons he’s taken from those fights will be instrumental going forward.
 
“The biggest thing that I’ve learned is to stay calm,” said Magdaleno. “When I start thinking too far ahead, that’s when things go wrong. Coach Adams has a great way of keeping me grounded and composed. He knows how to simplify things for me and communicate exactly what I need to do, which makes it less stressful for me. And we’ve done some other things, like correcting my footwork and the angles that I use.”
 
In the 22-year-old Cruz, Magdaleno will be opposed by a fast-rising and exciting Mexican fighter looking to make a mark in his biggest fight to date. With an 11-year age gap, Magdaleno plans to use his extensive experience to his advantage on October 31.
 
“Cruz is something I’ve seen before,” said Magdaleno. “I’ve fought lots of Mexican-style fighters like him who don’t have a lot of technical skill but possess a come-forward style. Així, I think I’ll be able to go back to what I know. I’ll just have to stay fluid and pick Cruz apart. He’s a guy who likes to fight on the inside and throw lots of overhand punches and hooks. I’ll break him down like I did my last opponent.”
 
Magdaleno will look to continue his career renaissance against Cruz and put himself back on track for another world title opportunity. With all that he’s been through during his career, Magdaleno remains highly motivated to prove critics wrong and achieve his goal of becoming a world champion.
 
“What I know is that when everyone counts you out, you just have to believe in yourself,” said Magdaleno. “When I decide to hang up the gloves, it’ll be because I want to, not because others say I should. I have my confidence back now and I’m very happy with where I’m going
. Being one shot away from the title that I dreamed of as a child is a huge motivating factor for me. And I fight for my family, massa. I’m a different person now. I’m more mature and I think I’ll be able to prove that to people in this fight.”

Santa Cruz was introduced to the sport and trained throughout his career by his father Jose, along with his brothers Jose Armando, a former lightweight contender, i Antonio. Santa Cruz will look to become a five-division champion in his first pay-per-view headliner.

The 25-year-old Barrios (25-0, 16 KOs) will be making the first defense of his world title in his hometown of San Antonio. Barrios captured his 140-pound title in his last fight in September 2019, earning a hard-fought unanimous decision over then-unbeaten Batyr Akhmedov, dropping him twice and fighting through a cut suffered on a head butt. Barrios trains in Oakland, Califòrnia. under the guidance of renowned coach Virgil Hunter. The five-foot ten-inch Barrios debuted as a super bantamweight in 2013, eventually moving up to 140-pounds full time in 2017 where he is 8-0 amb set nocauts.

“The long layoff is finally over and fans can expect to see me go to war with Ryan Karl, who I know is coming to bring an aggressive fight to the table,” said Barrios. “I’ve stayed in great shape during this past year, so now it’s time for me to keep giving boxing fans exciting fights. I’ll be representing my city of San Antonio and as always, everyone can expect to see me as explosive as ever. A l'octubre 31, all the fans watching on pay-per-view will watch me make a statement as I defend my title.”

Born in Milano, Texas and now trained in Houston under the tutelage of top trainer Ronnie Shields, Karl (18-2, 11 KOs) will step in for his first title opportunity on October 31. The 28-year-old enters this fight on a three-bout winning streak, with all three wins coming in 2019, including a knockout of Kevin Watts to avenge one of his losses in an immediate rematch. Karl also owns victories over Kareem Martin and then-unbeaten Jose Felix Quezada during his pro career that dates back to 2014.

“I’ve been training for this my whole life and I’m not going to let it slip away,” said Karl. “We’re working hard in training camp to put on the best performance of my career. We know what we’re up against in Mario Barrios, but I’ve come too far not to take full advantage of this opportunity on October 31.”

A staple of the 140-pound elite, PROGRAMES (24-1, 20 KOs) returns to the ring after losing his title in an exciting unification clash via majority decision last October against Josh Taylor. The 31-year-old won his title by defeating Kiryl Relikh by TKO in April 2019 and has also earned stoppage victories over former unified champion Julius Indongo, and then-unbeaten contenders Joel Diaz Jr. and Juan Jose Velasco. Prograis was born in New Orleans but lives and fights out of Houston.

“This is a huge fight and I’m very thankful to PBC for giving me this opportunity,"Va dir Prograis. “I haven’t fought in a year and since then I’ve done a lot of self-reflection and moved from L.A. back to Texas. I’m more focused than I’ve ever been and I can’t wait to get back to my number one spot in the super lightweight division. I have to be a world champion again and I won’t stop until that happens.”

The 30-year-old Heraldez (16-0-1, 10 KOs) can vault himself into the top tier of 140-pound contenders with a career-best victory over Prograis on October 31. Born in Northridge, Califòrnia. and training out of the Mayweather Promotions gym in Las Vegas, Heraldez most recently fought to a majority draw last May against former champion Argenis Mendez. Heraldez’s pro career has also seen him score victories over previously unbeaten Jose Miguel Borrego and tough contender Eddie Ramirez.

“It’s been a crazy year, but I took this opportunity to spend time with my family and sharpen my skills inside the ring,” said Heraldez. “There’s been a lot of great sparring happening at the Mayweather Boxing Club that I’ve taken advantage of. Tinc un dur rival al davant de mi, and that’s my only focus right now. I trust in my ability as a fighter and I trust my team to get me over the finish line with a victory on October 31. I’m thankful to Mayweather Promotions for putting me on such a large platform for this fight.”

Fighting out of his native Mexico City, Mèxic, Creu (19-1-1, 14 KOs) is unbeaten in his last 15 fights since dropping his sixth pro fight by decision. The 22-year-old knocked out 10-of-13 opponents between 2016 i 2018, before making his U.S. debut in December 2019. That contest saw Cruz earn a unanimous decision over Miguel Perez, which he followed up in February of this year by defeating Thomas Mattice by decision on ShoBox: La Nova Generació.

“Since I started boxing, it has been my dream to fight on this stage in the United States,"Va dir Creu. “I know that Diego Magdaleno is a very tough and experienced fighter, but it’s my time on October 31. The fans will see that I have what it takes to be world champion when I beat Magdaleno and announce myself as one of the best lightweights in the world.”

Magdaleno (32-3, 13 KOs) enters this fight coming off of an impressive victory over contender Austin Dulay in February that saw him drop Dulay on his way to a unanimous decision. The 33-year-old has challenged Roman Martinez for a 130-pound title and Terry Flanagan for a lightweight crown, while also battling lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez in February 2019. A Las Vegas native, Magdaleno has won four-of-five fights entering October 31, including a 10-round decision over Artyom Hovhannisyan.

“I’ve been super eager to get back into the ring since my last performance,” said Magdaleno. “That win sparked a fire in me and got me as motivated as I’ve ever been. Now that I’m in a title eliminator, I’m even more excited to return to action. I’m facing another young lion, but he’s lacking the experience that I have. Training with Bones Adams has made a world of difference in my career. I’ve made a transition to being more composed and smarter in the ring. I’m here to make a statement and claim what’s mine. I’m never going to back down until I get that world title.”

Nashville, Tenn. (Febrer 15, 2020) – Lluitant davant d’una descarada multitud de la ciutat natal per primera vegada en la seva carrera professional, invicte campió del món de pes mitjà de la IBF Caleb “Sweethands” Planta (20-0, 12 KOs) posar en un espectacle.

La planta domina el desafiament obligatori Vincent Feigenbutz (31-3, 28 KOs) d'Alemanya, Fer un 10º-ronda TKO dissabte a la nit a l'esdeveniment principal FOX PBC Fight Night i a FOX Deportes des del Bridgestone Arena de Nashville.

Planta, que va créixer a la veïna Ashland City, va fer amb èxit la segona defensa del títol mundial que va guanyar al gener 2019 amb una emocionant decisió unànime de 12 rondes sobre el llavors titular Jose Uzcategui. “Sweethands” va estar a l'altura del seu sobrenom, trencant l’alemany Feigenbutz abans d’allunyar-lo.

“Aquesta nit em va alimentar molt la gent,” Va dir la planta. “Podria haver anat tota la nit. Va sortir tota la ciutat. Nashville es posa de peu!”

Plant els va donar moltes coses per animar-se des de la campana inicial, aterrant el punxó amunt i avall. L’agressiu Feigenbutz, 24, va lluitar per aconseguir qualsevol cosa a canvi.

Plant va començar a aterrar les combinacions al tercer, fent pujar la multitud amb una sèrie de salves ben col·locades.

Mireu els moments destacats de la ronda inicial AQUÍ i AQUÍ.

Aquests trets van passar factura lentament, però Feigenbutz era un joc. Va arribar viu al sisè, fixant Plant contra les cordes i descarregant les seves pròpies combinacions. La planta es va tapar i va sacsejar el cap com si no li molestés.

Mira com Feigenbutz es replega a la ronda 6 AQUÍ.

La planta va picar Feigenbutz al setè i vuitè, obrint-li un tall al nas i inflant l’ull dret. El desafiant va absorbir més càstigs al novè, provocant que el metge de la platja el mirés durament entre les rondes.

Veure la planta dominar la ronda 9 AQUÍ.

El final va arribar ràpidament al 10º com a Planta, sentir que el seu enemic es debilitava, es va apallissar fins que l'àrbitre Malik Waleed va entrar amb compassió. L’hora oficial de l’aturada era 2:23 del 10è.

Mireu l’aturada a la Ronda 10 AQUÍ.

“Em vaig sentir molt bé per aquí,” aquesta planta. “Estava relaxat i agut. Ja et vaig dir que ho detindria abans de la 12a ronda. Vull dedicar-ho a la meva filla, a la meva mare, el meu avi i tota la ciutat de Nashville.”

El campió també va manifestar el seu desig d’unir-se contra el seu rival i el seu homòleg invicte, David Benavidez.

“Tothom sap que vull aquesta lluita per la unificació amb David Benavidez,” Planta declarada. “Sabeu qui és el millor 168 lliures. Si vols això, has de venir a veure’m. Vull aquesta baralla; Ho he estat demanant i estic fart d’esperar!”

En l'esdeveniment co-principal, Abel Ramos va aconseguir una impressionant victòria del TKO de l'últim segon sobreBryant Perrella en un partit de pes welter de 10 rondes programat. Direcció cap al 10ºi la ronda final, els seus cantoners van dir a Ramos que necessitava un eliminatòria per guanyar. Ramos (26-3-2, 20 KOs) lliurat, fent mal i deixant caure Perrella dues vegades en els segons minvants del quadre, cosa que va provocar que l'àrbitre Jack Reiss anul·lés el coprimestre de pes welter amb només un segon per acabar.

“Sé que la lluita no s’ha acabat fins que no s’acaba,” va dir Ramos. “Aquest és el joc. Fa dues setmanes que estic malalt. Però no hi ha excuses. Volia venir aquí i actuar.

“Vaig veure la lluita de Chavez-Taylor com 10 milions de vegades i mai vaig pensar que seria en alguna cosa així. Simplement demostra que les baralles no s’acaben mai fins que s’acaba. Has de lluitar cada segon de cada ronda.”

Mireu Ramos atordir Perrella al final de la ronda 10 AQUÍ.

Perrella (17-3, 14 KOs) estava en les tres cartes en el moment de l’aturada; 87-84 i dues puntuacions de 88-83.

“Això és la boxa. És com Meldrick Taylor i Chávez,” Said Perrella, d'acord amb Ramos’ comentaris. “Tot això passa. No vaig a treure res del meu oponent. Guanyava cada ronda de forma convincent. Què puc dir,? Quedava segon a la 10a ronda. És com una agulla al paller. És el que és.”

Southpaw Perrella va controlar gran part de l'acció, utilitzant moviment de costat a costat, angles i combinacions de foc ràpid per sufocar Ramos’ ofensa. Un ganxo esquerre al tercer va tancar breument Ramos. Un altre del cinquè el va sorprendre.

“Perrella és un lluitador dur,” va dir Ramos. “És un fort, lluitador fort. No tinc més que respecte per ell. Esperava una baralla dura i això va passar.”

Ramos mai va deixar d’avançar, agafant el ritme mentre Perrella es desaccelerava. Amb 34 segons restants al fitxer 10º, Ramos va aterrar a la barbeta una esquinçada superior perfecta. Perrella es va enfonsar a la catifa, aixecar-se sobre cames inestables. Ramos es va precipitar un cop es va reprendre l'acció, descarregant fins que una dreta recta va conduir Perrella cap a terra. De nou, es va posar en peu però no podia caminar recte sense ensopegar. Reiss ho va fer immediatament 2:59.

“Tot anava bé, i guanyava la baralla, ronda a ronda,” Said Perrella. “No ho sé. Això és la boxa. Això és l’esport. És el que és. No hi puc fer res. No vaig a inventar excuses ni a treure res del meu oponent. És només una experiència que visqueu a la vida i l’heu de superar. Absolutament, m’agradaria tornar a fer-ho amb ell. Podem obtenir una revenja segur.”

“Vull tots els pesos welter,” Va exclamar Ramos. “M’agradaria tenir una altra gran baralla televisiva i sortir per demostrar-me.”

L'obridor FOX PBC Fight Night va presentar una batalla d'anada i tornada entre pesos lleugersAustin Dulay i Diego Magdaleno. Magdaleno va produir una de les millors actuacions de la seva carrera, deixant caure Dulay en el seu camí cap a una victòria per decisió unànime de deu rondes en un trastorn menor.

La Magdaleno, de 33 anys (32-3, 13 KOs) era simplement més ocupat, particularment en el tram en aquesta batalla de southpaws.

“Sabia mentalment que podia trencar-lo,” va dir Magdaleno. “Si atacés el cos, Sabia que podia trencar-lo. És una perspectiva jove. És més alt que jo, de manera que el meu pla d’atac era apropar-me i anar al cos.”

Dulay no va estar d'acord amb la decisió. “Vaig caure a l’infern cada ronda, fent-lo trobar a faltar, captures de trets, contrarestar. Sí, em va colpejar amb uns bons trets corporals. Això no substitueix els forts tirs pels quals el vaig colpejar a cada ronda 10 arrodoneix recte. Això és una bogeria. I va ser una decisió unànime? És una bogeria. Això és increïble per a mi.

“Fins i tot Diego em va dir que no tenia res a veure amb la decisió. Ell sap. Com em poden fer això a la meva ciutat natal? Això és un home brut.”

Lluitant davant dels seus companys de Nashville, Dulay (13-2, 10 KOs) va començar ràpid, aterrant diverses esquerres netes a la segona. Magdaleno no va deixar mai d’avançar-se, treballant darrere del punxó i aterrant al cos de Dulay.

Mireu l’acció inicial entre Austin Dulay i Diego Magdaleno AQUÍ iAQUÍ.

Alguns d'aquests tirs es van desviar, cosa que va provocar l'advertència de l'àrbitre Jack Reiss. No obstant això, la feina va donar els seus fruits a mesura que la producció de Dulay va caure al llarg del combat. El sisè va comptar amb alguns dels millors intercanvis del combat. Magdaleno va superar-los, aterrant a la dreta cap a les costelles seguit per un al pis de dalt.

Magdaleno va continuar pressionant l'atac al setè, aconseguint l’únic enderroc de la lluita amb un dur ganxo esquerre al plexe solar.

Mira Magdaleno anotar una derrota contra Dulay a la ronda 7 AQUÍ.

Un cop reprès l'acció, Magdaleno va colpejar-li les costelles fins que un ganxo esquerre es va desviar i va deixar caure Magdaleno, fent que Reiss dedueixi un punt.

“Cada ronda em pegava poc i, al darrera, i als malucs,” va dir Dulay.
“Van ser més vegades del que li van demanar. Vaig guanyar aquesta baralla al 100%.”

Sentint que la baralla s’escapava, Dulay va agafar el ritme durant les tres darreres rondes. No va ser suficient per superar el ritme de treball de Magdaleno, la qual cosa li va valer una victòria per una vintena de 97-91, 96-92 i 96-92.

“L’experiència té tot per a mi. En la meva baralla anterior, Vaig perdre el cap,” va dir Magdaleno. “Aquesta vegada em vaig prendre el meu temps. El meu camp va dir que alentiu-lo. Feliç per la victòria d’aquesta nit.”

A la targeta interior no televisada, antic campió del món de pes gallo Rau’Shee “Nuke” Cau (17-3, 4 KOs) va acabar un acomiadament de 13 mesos amb una àmplia decisió unànime de deu rodes Gilberto Mendoza (15-8-3, 7 KOs).

Warren, de 33 anys, va utilitzar les seves mans ràpides per aconseguir un assortiment de trets des de la seva postura esquerrana. A la quarta, un xoc de caps va obrir un tall a l’ull esquerre del Mendoza de Mèxic. Warren va intentar tancar l'espectacle, però Mendoza era un joc, disparant enrere encara que superat.

Dos jutges la van anotar 99-91 i el tercer jutge la tenia 100-90.

“Va estar bé tornar-hi després d’estar un any fora,” Warren va dir. “No em sentia com un novell. Em sentia com si m’hagués d’oxidar una mica. Però crec que em vaig treure la major part de l’òxid quan estava a l’entrenament del gimnàs. Va 10 rondes se sentia bé.”

“Espero tornar al maig,” va dir Warren. “Només necessito 90 dia. Ja tinc el meu llarg acomiadament des del gener passat, quan vaig lluitar amb la targeta de Pacquiao i Adrien. Estic preparat per aconseguir-ho. Estic preparat per seguir endavant. L’únic que va fer que no esperava que fes va ser mantenir-se despert.”

L'esdeveniment va ser promogut per Sweethands Promotions, Promocions TGB i promocions Sauerland.

Ashland, Tennessee’s Plant will bring world championship boxing back to Nashville and fight for the first time as a professional in his home state. Here is what the press conference participants had to say Wednesday at Bridgestone Arena:

CALEB PLANTA

“It’s great to be back in my hometown and my home city. I’m even more excited to be bringing home a world title and to defend it February 15 at Bridgestone Arena. It’s been a dream of mine since as long as I could remember. Since I was a little kid.

“I’m working harder than ever to make sure that I have my hand raised on February 15. I’m looking to do it in spectacular fashion, before the 12º ronda. This fight is going to end in a knockout on my behalf. I want everyone who’s going to be in the building and tuned in to know that this world title is staying right here in Tennessee.

“My dad and I have been going at this for 18 years straight, sense parar. Having this fight has been a dream that I’ve sacrificed a lot for. It’s a dream that on February 15, it won’t be spoiled.

“It was a goal to become world champion, but it wasn’t the only goal. I think people tend to forget I only have 19 baralles. I feel like I just made it to the base of the mountain. Some people when they become champion, they feel like they become the hunted, but that’s not the case with me. I’m still hungry. If you’re in my way, I suggest you get out of it. Because I won’t miss you.

“I’ve heard Feigenbutz is strong and physical and he thinks he’s going to come in and knock me out. Mike Lee thought he was going to knock me out and Jose Uzcategui said he was going to knock me out, but how’d that go for them?

“Al final de la dia, boxing is hit and do not get hit. I have plenty of skills to spare. Al febrer 15, I’m not playing with this guy.

“All of these guys think they’re going to walk me down and throw more punches than me. But I throw more and land more punches than them. If he thinks he’s going to come in here and spoil my plans, I promise you that he’s got another thing coming.”

BRYANT PERRELLA

“I’m grateful to be here today and blessed to have the opportunity to showcase who I am as a fighter. I’m a fighter who’s built on quality over quantity. Nothing has been given to me. I’ve faced nothing but excellent opposition to this point.

“I eat, sleep and breathe boxing. I’m ready for this. I’m a fast, strong and tall fighter, with a high boxing IQ. Febrer 15 I’m coming to dominate. Operation Abel will be unable.

“I have Ramos outmatched at every category and I’m going to dominate. I’m starting hit my stride as a fighter. Everything is coming together mentally and I have an amazing team working with me now. We’re just grinding every day and putting it all together to work towards our ultimate goal.”

AUSTIN DULAY

“I’m really thankful to my whole team for making this fight happen and especially to Caleb for paving the way for a fight in Nashville. We’ve been training really hard and we’re training even harder for this fight to put on a show in my hometown.

I know my opponent is going to come ready, we know what he’s coming to do. Estic emocionat per això. I’m going to be ready for anything he brings.

“No puc esperar per aquesta baralla, put on a great performance and come back to Nashville again in the future for more big fights.”

JUSTIN GAMBER, Plant’s Co-Trainer

“We are thrilled to come back to Nashville for this fight. It’s going to be Caleb’s first pro fight in Nashville, and from the moment that we heard first about this, we’ve been really excited.

“He’s had an incredible training camp as always. He’s been looking really sharp. Expect an explosive, powerful and better version of ‘Sweethands’ than you’ve seen yet. Caleb is always improving and always getting better. He’s taking it to another level.

“I’ve seen Caleb fight as an amateur in Nashville, but to be a part of him doing it in the pros, it’s so special for me. Just know that he’s going to put on a show. Skills pay the bills and he’s got all the skills.”

RICHIE PLANT, Plant’s Father & Co-Trainer

“We’re so glad to be here in this position. As soon as we heard that this was going to be a reality, we were just overjoyed.

“We started here about 18 years ago in boxing. Over the years we’ve grown, and now we have this amazing boxing team, one that I feel is the best in boxing. We’re just getting started. We’re excited to put on a show for our hometown and we’ll see everyone here on February 15.”
