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,” Said 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, de 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 Febrero. 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 onAbril 22 Barclays Center. Él y su hermano gemelo, Jermall, both held world titles at 154-pounds, before Jermall relinquished his title to move up to 160 libra. 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. Octubre 14 I’ll show everyone why I’m a world champion.
Lubin, 21, is nicknamed “El Martillo” 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,” dijo 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. Ven a pelear la noche, 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 Octubre 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 Febrero. 25. Luchando fuera de 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.
Trucha, a 31-year-old southpaw from Las Cruces, Nuevo México, 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,” dijo Trucha. “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.

NORBERT NEMESAPATI
I am coming in as the smaller fighter, so I will have to put a lot of pressure on him. I sparred a lot of rounds for this fight, with a lot of tall guys. That’s fine with me that he is taller because I love to punch to the body.

MIGUEL CRUZ
I wish that Alex Martin was here so I could talk a little smack to his face.

El entrenador de boxeo Orlando Cuellar vuelve al futuro en 5th St. Gimnasio

MIAMI (Octubre 26, 2016) — Entrenador de boxeo de renombre internacional Orlando Cuellar ha cerrado el círculo, de vuelta a los famosos 5º St. Gimnasio en South Beach, donde una vez visitó cuando era adolescente para aprender y ahora entrena a combatientes seis días a la semana.
Nacido en La Habana, Cuba, La familia de Cuellar se reasentó en Miami cuando él tenía tres años con Orlando viviendo allí hasta la escuela secundaria.. Como un boxeador amateur, Cuéllar recuerda vívidamente ver a los boxeadores en 5º St. Gimnasio como Cassius Clay, Willie Pastrano, Vinnie corto y Florentino Fernandez, así como entrenadores legendarios, hermanos Angelo y Chris Dundee.
“Miré y aprendí, recogiendo tanto como pude,” Cuéllar dijo. “Ahora, Me encuentro trabajando fuera del 5º St. Gimnasio durante las últimas seis semanas. Ha sido una experiencia increíble. Cada día, nunca se sabe quién va a pasar por las puertas allí. Ha sido uno de los mejores gimnasios de boxeo del mundo durante más de 50 año. Desde los días que se remontan a Muhammad Ali, Los luchadores se han sentido atraídos por este gimnasio debido a su rica historia y gran combate., así como a la zona con los restaurantes de South Beach, clubes y playa. La calidez, El clima húmedo también hace que sea más fácil para los luchadores perder peso corriendo y entrenando.
“(Propietario) Dino Spencer está llevando a cabo el 5º St. Tradición del gimnasio. Todos los días que estoy allí es emocionante para mí. Los grupos étnicos mixtos entrenan allí y es un imán para el talento. Hay entrenamiento tres días a la semana – Yo lo llamo spar-a-rama – y todos son bienvenidos a desafiarse a sí mismos. El sparring es mejor que muchas peleas televisivas..
“5º St. Entrenador de gimnasio Chico Laieta había estado tratando de convencerme de que me uniera al equipo durante los últimos cinco años. Hablé con Dino en varias ocasiones., expresando mi deseo de entrenar combatientes fuera del 5º St. Gimnasio. Él dijo, 'Vamos a hacerlo.’ El éxito de la 5º St. El gimnasio de hoy tiene mucho que ver con la propiedad. Dino tiene pasión por el box y es muy hospitalario., que se filtra a su personal y combatientes. Buenas vibraciones todo el tiempo!”
Cuellar se fue a Las Vegas en 1976 y, después de darse cuenta de que ser boxeador no era lo mejor para él, comenzó a entrenar luchadores allí en 1981 fuera del gimnasio de Johnny García. Un año después, cambió su base de Brooklyn y comenzó a entrenar luchadores de otro ícono del boxeo, Gimnasio Gleason. En 2000, se reasentó en Miami.
Mejor conocido como campeón mundial de peso semipesado, el entrenador en jefe de Glen Johnson, Cuellar también trabajó con futuros campeones como Nicolas Walters, Rances Barthelemy y Erslandy Lara, así como Luis Franco, Aaron Davis y Juan Carlos Gomez, por nombrar algunos de los más notables. Hoy, es el segundo en jefe de varios de los mejores luchadores, incluidos Antonio Tarver.
Reconocido en todo el boxeo como un maestro superior, El éxito de Cuellar se atribuye principalmente a su entrenamiento de luchadores de forma individual., centrarse en sus necesidades personales en lugar de dar a todos los combatientes las mismas instrucciones y atención.
“Cada luchador necesita un trabajo personal y específico para complementar los talentos que Dios le dio.,” Cuéllar explicó. “No puedes enseñar a todos los luchadores de la misma manera. Me especializo en lo que llamo la vieja escuela se encuentra con la nueva escuela.. La vieja escuela fue directa y personal para llevar 15 rondas, la nueva escuela se trata de lanzar más golpes, más movimiento de pies y peleas desde el exterior. Enseño ofensa: defensa + ofensa. Los ponches no son vitaminas, no se debe tomar ninguno. El boxeo es poco más que una batalla de reflejos; un luchador contra otro, pero el verdadero truco es cómo el luchador usa sus reflejos. Les enseño a mis combatientes cómo convertir el delantal del ring en un campo minado.”
El boxeo ha jugado un papel muy importante en la vida de Cuellar. Regreso en el 5º St. El gimnasio es solo otro capítulo en su vida única.
“Vivo a través de mis luchadores,” Cuellar concluyó. “Cada victoria es mi momento de mayor orgullo. No hay grandes ni pequeñas victorias, cada victoria es un momento feliz debido a todo el trabajo duro y los sacrificios que mi luchador y yo hicimos durante el campo de entrenamiento.”
