Lara, a 34-year-old Cuban southpaw, owns victories over Trout, Alfredo Angulo and a slew of former champions and top contenders in addition to a controversial split decision loss to Canelo Alvarez on the way to cementing his credentials as the top boxer in the division. Lara will make the seventh defense of his world title as he continues to train with renowned trainer Ronnie Shields.
I’m very excited to be making another title defense back on SHOWTIME headlining a great tripleheader,” sagte Lara. “This is an interesting fight versus an undefeated U.S. Olympian in Terrell Gausha. I know he will be ready because it’s his opportunity to beat the best fighter in the division and become a champion. But come fight night, he will quickly realize and know why I’m the consensus No. 1 super welterweight in the world. After this performance, I look forward to, one-by-one, adding a WBC and IBF title to my collection.
The 29-year-old Gausha, Cleveland, Ohio, earned a shot at the world title with solid victories in his last two matches. He won a hard-fought decision over Steven Martinez last August and followed it up with another impressive victory over Luis Hernandez on Februar. 10. Lara figures to be his toughest battle in his pro career that dates back to 2012.
I’ve been talking about this since I was a three-year-old watching Muhammad Ali on television,” said Gausha. “I’m here now and blessed for this opportunity. Lara’s a tough fighter, champion and the best opponent I’ll fight on paper. He’s been in with the bigger names. But the better the opponent, the better I am, and I’m coming to dethrone him. He’s crafty, but the world hasn’t seen all that I can bring to the table. I’ll make adjustments on the fly and do things that I’ve never shown before. Seeing other Olympic team members win titles gives me motivation to earn the victory and the notoriety I’ve been looking for.
Charlo of Houston, Texas will be making the second defense of his title, which he won by knockout victory over John Jackson on May 21, 2016. The 27-year-old Charlo successfully defended the title with a highlight reel knockout victory over fellow Texan Charles Hatley onApril 22 bei Barclays Center. Er und sein Zwillingsbruder, Jermall, both held world titles at 154-pounds, before Jermall relinquished his title to move up to 160 Pfund. Charlo now trains in Dallas with Derrick James, trainer of world champion Errol Spence Jr.
Lubin is young and hungry and I know he always comes to fight, but there’s a reason why I’m where I am in the sport,” Said Charlo. “I’ve been through the trenches and I don’t plan to stop anytime soon. This is what boxing always needstwo young, undefeated fighters willing to risk their ‘0'. But I think it’s a little early for Lubin to step in the ring with me, and I plan on keeping my title. Oktober 14 I’ll show everyone why I’m a world champion.
Lubin, 21, is nicknamed “Der Hammer” because of his power in both hands and his ability to bring a quick conclusion to every match. Lubin of Orlando, Fla., has picked up 10 victories since the beginning of 2015 including seven knockouts on his way to contender status. Lubin most recently scored a sensational knockout of Jorge Cota in a title eliminator in March at Barclays Center.
This is a fight for the fans,” sagte Lubin. “You have an undefeated champion against an undefeated Prospect of the Year. I’m very excited to be fighting for the belt and it’s truly been a dream of mine ever since I first got into boxing. Come fight night, Charlo will either give it to me or I’m going to rip the belt out of his hands. Many fans and reporters have said that he’s one of the best, and that will make it even sweeter. My mentality will be to seek and destroy, so everyone tune-in to SHOWTIME on Oktober 14, you will witness boxing’s new superstar!”
Hurd, 26, will be making the first defense of the title that he won with a KO victory over Tony Harrison on Februar. 25. Bekämpfung von Accokeek, Maryland, Hurd soared up the rankings with stoppage victories over previously unbeaten fighters Frank Galarza and Oscar Molina at Barclays Center plus veteran Jo Jo Dan.
I got a Trout to catch,” Said Hurd. “His losses have all been to top champions Canelo Alvarez, Erislandy Lara and Jermall Charlo. But I’m on a streak of six straight knockouts and Trout has never been stopped, so I’m looking for the stoppage to make a statement that the other fighters couldn’t make. This is definitely my toughest fight, and I didn’t have to take it since it’s a voluntary defense. But I wanted this fight to stop Austin Trout, proving to the fans and people in general I’m the real deal and a true champion.
Forelle, a 31-year-old southpaw from Las Cruces, New Mexico, has faced some of the top 154-pound boxers in the division. He defeated Miguel Cotto in New York to win a title in 2012 and has close losses to Canelo Alvarez and Lara on his resume. In his most recent attempt at winning the title, Trout gave Jermall Charlo perhaps the toughest test of his career after looking impressive in four straight victories leading up to the challenge.
‘What a blessing it is to have this opportunity at a world title shot,” sagte Trout. “I want to thank everyone who has been in my corner to help get me career defining fights. It’s refreshing to see young champions showing heart and testing their skill with the best in the game. With thatsaid, salute to Hurd for allowing this fight to go through.

Here is what Lara had to say about Foreman, training camp with Ronnie Shields and more:
Auf seinem letzten Trainingslager…
We just wrapped up about a week and we got some good rest during fight week. Training camp has been very productive. I’m comfortable with my weight and I feel strong going into this fight. My strength and conditioning is right where I want it. Ronnie and I are always polishing up on the things I do well. Insgesamt, it’s been a great camp.
On facing former world champion Yuri Foreman
I’m grateful to Yuri Foreman for accepting this fight. I know he’s hungry to get back in the ring. He wants to prove that he’s still relevant in the super welterweight division. He’s a former world champion who knows what it’s like to win at the elite level. I’m not looking past Yuri Forman, but I’m very confident I’ll be victorious. I feel I’m going to be the superior fighter when we both step in the ring morgen Nacht.”
On returning to Miami to fight in front of a large Cuban community
My last fight here was amazing and the fan support was unbelievable. I got the knockout and I’m hoping to do the same again. If I see my opponent hurt, I’ll be looking to take him out. I love my Cuban countrymen and all their support, as well as my American fans. Miami is like a second home to me and I can’t wait to give the fans a great show.
On the state of the super welterweight division
The division, meiner Meinung nach, is the most talented division in boxing. Everyone at the top is looking to cement their legacy in boxing history and everyone is spectacular. In the future, we will all have to face each other at some point. So, expect some unification bout to be presented, and may the best man rise to the top. I know I’m ready to fight everyone, but first I must get past Foreman.

Boxtrainer Orlando Cuellar geht zurück in die Zukunft in der 5th St.. Turnhalle

MIAMI (Oktober 26, 2016) — International renommierter Boxtrainer Orlando Cuellar hat sich der Kreis geschlossen, gleich zurück zu den berühmten 5th St. Fitnessstudio in South Beach, wo er einmal als Teenager besucht hat, um zu lernen, und jetzt Kämpfer an sechs Tagen in der Woche ausbildet.
Geboren in Havanna, Kuba, Cuellars Familie ließ sich in Miami nieder, als er drei Jahre alt war und Orlando dort während der High School lebte. Als Amateurboxer, Cuellar erinnert sich lebhaft daran, wie er Boxer beobachtet hat 5th St. Fitnessstudio wie Cassius Clay, Willie Pastrano, Vinnie Short und Florentino Fernandez, sowie legendäre Trainer, Brüder Angelo und Chris Dundee.
“Ich habe zugesehen und gelernt, so viel wie möglich aufheben,” Cuellar sagte. “Jetzt, Ich arbeite aus dem heraus 5th St. Fitnessstudio seit sechs Wochen. Es war eine unglaubliche Erfahrung. Jeden Tag, Sie wissen nie, wer dort durch die Türen gehen wird. Es ist seit mehr als einer der besten Boxhallen der Welt 50 Jahre. Von den Tagen zurück bis Muhammad Ali, Kämpfer wurden von diesem Fitnessstudio wegen seiner reichen Geschichte und großartigen Sparrings angezogen, sowie in die Gegend mit den Restaurants von South Beach, Clubs und Strand. Das Warme, feuchtes Wetter erleichtert es Kämpfern auch, beim Laufen und Training Gewicht zu verlieren.
“(Inhaber) Dino Spencer macht weiter mit 5th St. Turnhalle Tradition. Jeden Tag bin ich da und es ist aufregend für mich. Dort trainieren gemischte ethnische Gruppen und es ist ein Magnet für Talente. Es gibt drei Tage die Woche Sparring – Ich nenne es Spar-a-Rama – und jeder ist herzlich eingeladen, sich selbst herauszufordern. Das Sparring ist besser als viele Fernsehkämpfe.
“5th St. Fitnesstrainer Guy Laieta Ich hatte in den letzten fünf Jahren versucht, mich davon zu überzeugen, dem Team beizutreten. Ich habe mehrmals mit Dino gesprochen, Ausdruck meines Wunsches, Kämpfer aus dem zu trainieren 5th St. Turnhalle. Sagte er, 'Machen wir das.’ Der Erfolg der 5th St. Das Fitnessstudio hat heute viel mit Besitz zu tun. Dino hat eine Leidenschaft für das Boxen und er ist sehr gastfreundlich, was zu seinen Mitarbeitern und Kämpfern rinnt. Immer gute Stimmung!”
Cuellar reiste nach Las Vegas ab 1976 und, nachdem er erkannt hatte, dass es nicht in seinem besten Interesse war, Boxer zu sein, Dort begann er Kämpfer auszubilden 1981 aus Johnny Garcias Fitnessstudio. Ein Jahr später, Er verlegte seine Basis in Brooklyn und begann, Kämpfer aus einer anderen Boxikone heraus zu trainieren, Gleason-Gym. In 2000, er ließ sich in Miami nieder.
Am bekanntesten als Weltmeister im Halbschwergewicht der Cheftrainer von Glen Johnson, Cuellar arbeitete auch mit zukünftigen Champions wie Nicolas Walters, Rances Barthelemy und Erslandy Lara, als auch Luis Franco, Aaron Davis und Juan Carlos Gomez, um nur einige der bekanntesten zu nennen. Heute, Er ist der Hauptsekunde für mehrere Top-Kämpfer, darunter Antonio Tarver.
Während des gesamten Boxens als überlegener Lehrer anerkannt, Cuellars Erfolg ist hauptsächlich auf seine individuelle Ausbildung von Kämpfern zurückzuführen, sich auf ihre persönlichen Bedürfnisse konzentrieren, anstatt allen Kämpfern die gleichen Anweisungen und die gleiche Aufmerksamkeit zu geben.
“Jeder Kämpfer braucht persönliche und spezifische Arbeit, um seine von Gott gegebenen Talente zu ergänzen,” Erklärte Cuellar. “Sie können nicht alle Kämpfer auf die gleiche Weise unterrichten. Ich spezialisiere mich auf das, was ich alte Schule nenne und neue Schule. Die alte Schule war offen und persönlich 15 Runde, In der neuen Schule geht es darum, mehr Schläge zu werfen, mehr Fußbewegung und Kämpfe von außen. Ich unterrichte doffense: Verteidigung + Delikt. Schläge sind keine Vitamine, keiner sollte genommen werden. Boxen ist kaum mehr als ein Kampf der Reflexe; ein Kämpfer gegen einen anderen, Aber der wahre Trick ist, wie der Kämpfer seine Reflexe nutzt. Ich bringe meinen Kämpfern bei, wie man die Ringschürze in ein Minenfeld verwandelt.”
Das Boxen hat in Cuellars Leben eine große Rolle gespielt. Zurück in 5th St. Das Fitnessstudio ist nur ein weiteres Kapitel in seinem einzigartigen Leben.
“Ich lebe durch meine Kämpfer,” Cuellar schloss. “Jeder Sieg ist mein stolzester Moment. Es gibt keine großen oder kleinen Siege, Jeder Sieg ist ein glücklicher Moment wegen all der harten Arbeit und der Opfer, die ich und mein Kämpfer während des Trainingslagers gemacht haben.”
Orlando Cuellar ist begeistert, in die Zukunft zurückgekehrt zu sein.
