“We are thrilled to continue our best year yet of BROOKLYN BOXING with our fifth major boxing event of 2017,” ha detto Brett Yormark, CEO of Brooklyn Sports & Divertimento. “We always aim to deliver fight fans an evening packed with top-notch matchups from start to finish, and this card certainly does that.”
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,” Detto 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, di 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 Febbraio. 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 onAprile 22 a Barclays Center. Lui e suo fratello gemello, Jermall, both held world titles at 154-pounds, before Jermall relinquished his title to move up to 160 libbre. 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,” Detto Charlo. “I’ve been through the trenches and I don’t plan to stop anytime soon. This is what boxing always needs — two 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. Ottobre 14 I’ll show everyone why I’m a world champion.”
Lubin, 21, is nicknamed “Il Martello” 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,” said 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 Ottobre 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 Febbraio. 25. Combattimento da 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,” Ha detto 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.”
Trota, a 31-year-old southpaw from Las Cruces, Nuovo Messico, 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,” rispose 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.”

Boxe allenatore Orlando Cuellar va Ritorno al futuro in 5th St. Palestra
 MIAMI (Ottobre 26, 2016) — Di fama internazionale allenatore di boxe Orlando Cuellar Has Come cerchio completo, a destra di nuovo al famoso 5th St. Gym a South Beach, dove ha visitato una volta come un adolescente per imparare e ora allena combattenti su sei giorni alla settimana.
Nato a L'Avana, Cuba, La famiglia di Cuellar reinsediati a Miami quando aveva tre anni, con Orlando vivere lì attraverso la scuola superiore. Come un pugile dilettante, Cuellar ricorda vividamente guardare pugili a 5th St. Gym quali Cassius Clay, Willie Pastrano, Vinnie breve e Florentino Fernandez, così come formatori leggendari, fratelli Angelo e Chris Dundee.
“Ho guardato e imparato, raccogliendo quanto più possibile,” Cuellar ha detto. “Ora, Mi ritrovo a lavorare fuori dal 5th St. Palestra per le ultime sei settimane. E 'stata un'esperienza incredibile. Ogni giorno, non si sa mai chi sta per camminare attraverso le porte lì. E 'stata una delle migliori palestre di pugilato in tutto il mondo per più di 50 anni. Dai tempi risalenti Muhammad Ali, combattenti sono stati attratti da questa palestra a causa della sua ricca storia e la grande sparring, così come per l'area con ristoranti di South Beach, club e la spiaggia. la calda, tempo umido rende anche più facile per i combattenti per perdere peso in esecuzione e la formazione.
“(Proprietario) Dino Spencer sta portando sulla 5th St. tradizione Gym. Ogni giorno ci sono è emozionante per me. gruppi etnici misti treno ed è una calamita per i talenti. C'è sparring tre giorni alla settimana – Io lo chiamo Spar-A-Rama – e benvenuto a tutti di sfidare se stessi. Lo sparring è meglio di un sacco di scontri televisivi.
 “5th St. allenatore di ginnastica Guy Laieta aveva cercato di convincermi a far parte del team per gli ultimi cinque anni. Ho parlato con Dino in diverse occasioni, esprimere il mio desiderio di addestrare combattenti fuori dal 5th St. Palestra. Lui ha detto, 'Facciamolo.’ Il successo del 5th St. Palestra oggi ha molto a che fare con la proprietà. Dino ha una passione per la boxe e lui è molto ospitale, che scivola verso il basso per il suo staff e combattenti. Buone vibrazioni per tutto il tempo!”
Cuellar partito per Las Vegas nel 1976 e, dopo essersi reso conto che essere un pugile non era nel suo interesse, ha iniziato la formazione di combattenti là in 1981 fuori della palestra Johnny Garcia. Un anno dopo, ha spostato la sua base di Brooklyn e ha iniziato i combattenti di formazione di un'altra icona della boxe, Palestra Gleason. In 2000, ha reinsediato a Miami.
Meglio conosciuto come campione del mondo dei pesi massimi leggeri l'allenatore capo della Glen Johnson, Cuellar ha lavorato anche con i futuri campioni quali Nicolas Walters, Rances Barthelemy e Erslandy Lara, così come Luis Franco, Aaron Davis e Juan Carlos Gomez, per citarne alcuni dei più notabili. Oggi, lui è il capo secondo per diversi combattenti top tra cui Antonio Tarver.
Riconosciuto in tutta la boxe come insegnante superiore, Il successo di Cuellar è in gran parte attribuita alla sua formazione di combattenti su base individuale, incentrate sulle loro esigenze personali piuttosto che dare tutti i combattenti le stesse istruzioni e l'attenzione.
“Ogni combattente ha bisogno di lavoro personale e specifico per completare i loro talenti ricevuti da Dio,” Cuellar ha spiegato. “Non si può insegnare tutti i combattenti allo stesso modo. Sono specializzato in quello che io chiamo vecchia scuola incontra nuova scuola. Vecchia scuola era in anticipo e personale di andare 15 round, nuova scuola è di gettare più pugni, più movimento del piede e la lotta dall'esterno. Insegno doffense: difesa + offesa. Punzoni non sono le vitamine, Nessuno dovrebbe essere presa. La boxe è poco più di una battaglia di riflessi; uno combattenti contro un altro, ma il vero trucco è come il combattente usa i suoi riflessi. Io insegno ai miei combattenti come trasformare ring in un campo minato.”
Boxe ha giocato un ruolo enorme nella vita di Cuellar. Back in the 5th St. Gym è solo un altro capitolo della sua vita unica.
“Vivo con i miei combattenti,” Cuellar ha concluso. “Ogni vittoria è il mio momento più orgoglioso. Non ci sono grandi o piccole vittorie, ogni vittoria è un momento a causa di tutto il duro lavoro e sacrifici me e la mia caccia fatto durante il training camp felice.”
Orlando Cuellar è entusiasta di essere andato ritorno al futuro.
