Sugar Ray Leonard, Ерол Спенс Jr., Keith Търман, Мани Пакиао & Още дискутирайте събота, Септември 8 Matchup Live на SHOWTIME от Barclays Center в Бруклин & Представено от Premier боксови шампиони

BROOKLYN (Септември 5, 2018) – Топ звезди в полусредна категория от миналото, настоящето и бъдещето прецениха с мислите си за дългоочаквания мач, който изправя бившите шампиони в полусредна категория Дани Гарсия и Shawn Porter един срещу друг за вакантната световна титла в полусредна категория на WBC в събота, Септември 8 в основното събитие на живо по SHOWTIME от Barclays Center, в дома на Бруклин Бокс ™.

 

 

 

телевизията на SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP Бокс започва в 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT и разполага с елиминатор за титлата в полусредна категория между Cuba’s Йорденис Угаш и Аржентина Сезар Barrionuevo и тежка категория действие, който изправя непобеден полски Разбих Adam Kownacki срещу бившия шампион в тежка категория Charles Martin.

Ето какво трябваше да каже група настоящи и бивши бойци в полусредна категория за Гарсия срещу. Разбор на световната титла на Портър:

 

Шугър Рей Леонард, Зала на славата & Бивш обединен световен шампион в полусредна категория

 

 

 

“Чувствам, че Дани Гарсия срещу. Боят на Шон Портър има предимствата на една вълнуваща битка от това, което видях и на двамата от тези талантливи бойци. И така, тук е моята прогноза въз основа на това, което чувствам и двамата бойци на ринга

 

 

 

Гарсия ще спечели, ако използва удара си, за да задържи Портър встрани и извън равновесие, но Портър печели победа, ако се свърже и нарани Гарсия по-рано и го накара да изостави боксовите си способности и да се бие като бавно — както направих с първата си битка срещу Роберто Дюран.

 

 

 

Ето как виждам този мач, който трябва да бъде вълнуваща битка!”

 

ERROL SPENCE JR., Непобеден световен шампион в полусредна категория на IBF

 

 

 

“Определено искам да се бия с победителя на Дани Гарсия срещу. Shawn Porter. Това е близък бой. В миналото винаги съм избирал срещу Дани Гарсия, и той винаги ми доказваше грешка. Шон Портър винаги е тежка битка, защото той ще излезе напред и ще даде всичко от себе си. Той основно се опитва да ви ограби. Но за тази битка, трудно е да се отиде срещу Дани Гарсия. Избирам Дани Гарсия, за да спечеля разделно решение.”

 

КИЙТ Търман, WBA Welterweight World Champion; Бивш обединен шампион

 

 

 

“Честно обичам тази битка, и го считам за огромна битка и един от най-добрите мачове за годината. За мен, като се бих и с двамата, Вярвам, че всеки е способен да нарани другия и да се измъкне един от друг.

 

 

 

“Знам, че повечето фенове ще се наклонят към Дани Гарсия с неговата нокаут сила и потенциал за това. След това има Шон, който има приличен удар, въпреки че той се фокусира върху резултата си повече от солидния си удар с един удар и го има в арсенала си, за да нарани Дани Гарсия.

 

 

“Не бих заложил Шон да получи нокаут, но бих искал Шон да спечели победата, просто заради изхода му. Мисля, че единственият шанс на Дани да спечели е с нокаут, но дори и като хазарт, Не мога да сложа парите си на Дани да ги получи. Взимам Шон Портър по решение.”

 

Мани Pacquiao, Многократен световен шампион в полусредна категория

 

 

 

“Ще дам предимство на Дани Гарсия. И двамата са крехки бойци, но аз мисля, че Гарсия е малко по-техничен с малко повече генералски пръстен. Трябва да е страхотна битка, и има възможност аз да се бия с победителя, но ще трябва да видим какво ще се случи.”

 

Майки GARCIA, Световен шампион с четири дивизии

 

 

 

“Мисля, че това е много добър мач. Шон Портър е онзи спортист, който винаги ви донася битката с натиск и обем. И двамата идват да се бият и двамата могат да го вземат и да го извадят.

 

 

 

“Дани Гарсия може да използва уменията си да боксира отвън и да работи от разстояние. Мисля, че Дани ще може да боксира още малко и да спечели повече от тесните кръгове в много тясна битка. Не съм сигурен дали ще бъде разделено решение или единодушно решение. Вярвам, че Дани ще използва повече от тези тактики, за да спечели вълнуващо решение.”

 

Йорденис Угаш, Топ в полусредна категория

 

 

 

“Имам голямо уважение към Шон Портър, и мисля, че ще бъде страхотна битка, но, Дани Гарсия има повече техника и той също се изправя и побеждава по-добри противници от Портър. Навеждам се към Дани Гарсия, за да извлека победата.”

 

ROBERT GUERRERO, Бивш многократен световен шампион

 

 

 

“Това ще бъде много забавна битка за феновете. Виждам как Дани се бори добре, но Портър ще направи битката груба, а Гарсия не харесва този тип битки. Отивам с Портър да спечеля с разделено решение.”

 

VICTOR ORTIZ, Бившият световен шампион полусредна категория

 

 

 

“Мисля, че това ще бъде един забързан битка. Шон ще настоява напред, което прави грубо с Дани, и Дани ще се опитва да контролира разстоянието. Отивам с Дани, като му дава леко предимство и казва, че печели с решение.”

 

ДЖАМАЛ JAMES, Welterweight Contender

 

 

 

“Това е добро. Шон е по-зает от Дани, по-активен и носи много инерция, когато се бие. Но това не винаги е хубаво нещо, защото Гарсия има сила с времето си, той може да успее да хване Портър да влиза. Мисля, че Шон Портър го прави. ”

 

BRANDON RIOS, Бившият световен шампион & Предизвикател за титлата в полусредна категория

 

 

 

“Това е наистина трудна битка за прогнозиране. Ако Дани успее да се противопостави наистина добре и да не допусне Шон Портър, докато Портър влиза, тогава виждам как Дани го спира.

 

 

 

Но ако Шон Портър е в състояние да притисне Дани, както обикновено, Не виждам Шон Портър да спира Дани, или нещо друго, но го виждам да печели с разделено решение, ако може да е в гърдите си цяла нощ. Но ако Портър бъде закован с някоя от тези леви куки или права дясна ръка, Казвам, че Портър слиза. Ще отида с Дани, защото той ме нокаутира.”

 

БРАЙЪН ПЕРЕЛА, Welterweight Prospect

 

 

 

“Може да се стигне до това колко добре Шон Портър може да понесе ударите на Дани Гарсия в битка, която е наистина трудно да се предскаже, и колко добре Дани може да се движи, като се има предвид, че не е известен с бързи крака, подобни на човек като Кийт Търман.

 

 

 

Но ако Шон може да се приближи и да задуши ударите на Дани, той ще направи трудна битка. Но Дани има наистина тежки ръце и седи добре на снимките си, тайминг и контра-щанцоване момчета, за да може Портър да играе в ръцете му.

 

 

 

Въз основа на чисто, ефективни твърди удари и му дават предимство отблизо, състезателни кръгове, Навеждам се към Дани Гарсия. Шон е здрав като нокти, така че виждам, че отива на разстояние, но само лекото предимство към Дани.”

 

SAMMY VASQUEZ JR., Welterweight Contender

 

 

 

 

“Отивам с Шон Портър. Не чрез спиране, но Шон създава твърде голям натиск и Дани Гарсия не нанася достатъчно удари и не се справя с натиска. Видяхте това, когато се биеше с Гереро, който не изглеждаше твърде зле в тази битка.

 

 

 

“Дани може да спечели с нокаут, ако хване Шон с тази кука, но Шон е работен кон и той оказва много по-голям натиск, отколкото мисля, че Дани някога е виждал в битка. Шон може да не е податлив на това, ако няма правилното движение на главата, но вярвам, че ще го направи.”

FRISCO, TEXAS (Юни 16, 2018) – Errol Spence Jr. defended his IBF Welterweight World Championship with a first-round knockout of previously undefeated mandatory challenger Carlos Ocampo in a homecoming fight Saturday on SHOWTIME at Ford Center at The Star. VIDEO: https://s.sho.com/2HTG4Zv

 

 

 

A sellout crowd of more than 12,600 fans packed Ford Center at The Star in Frisco to witness Spence’s first homecoming defense as champion and his first fight in Dallas since 2015. The consensus top-5 pound-for-pound fighter did not disappoint, pounding the body from the opening bell with his trademark body attack and superb ring generalship.

 

 

 

Килер за храна, who was making his second defense as a 147-pound champion, floored Ocampo with a brutal 1-2 body shot combo, the second punch landing flush on the challenger’s side and instantly flooring him as the opening round concluded. Ocampo (22-1, 13 Нокаута) crippled over in pain while on the canvas, was unable to beat the count and remained on the floor for more than two minutes while Spence celebrated his victory.

 

 

 

“I was a little disappointed. I wanted to give the crowd their money’s worth,” Spence said. “I wanted him to sustain a bit and give him some punishment, but the body shot got him and I dropped him.”

 

 

 

It was the ninth time Spence (24-0, 21 Нокаута) has floored an opponent with a body shot in his 24 професионални мача.

 

 

 

“I knew if I hit him again he would probably drop,” Spence said. “That was my game plan. I’m the body snatcher. If he reacts weirdly, I just keep going to the body and I keep breaking him down.”

 

 

 

След борбата, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones joined Spence in the ring to congratulate him on the victory.

 

 

 

“This moment is a dream,” Spence said. “I wanted to play for the Dallas Cowboys and now I’m fighting in front of the Dallas Cowboys and Jerry Jones. Thank you to the whole Dallas Cowboys organization.

 

 

 

“We’ll definitely be back after I unify some titles. We’ll make this an annual thing where I fight here.”

 

 

 

Jones was thrilled with what was the first boxing event inside the Ford Center at The Star, the centerpiece of the 91-acre campus of the Dallas Cowboys World Headquarters and practice facility.

 

 

 

“This room was full of Dallas Cowboys football players supporting you,” Jones said. “They share your passion. I saw a guy in this ring who knew what he wanted. When you knock a guy out by hitting him once on the side of his back, you’re bad to the bone.

 

 

 

“I love his awareness. He had a plan from the beginning. He is exceptionally gifted. He has family that is behind him and our family, the Cowboys, want to be behind him as well.”

 

 

 

След борбата, SHOWTIME Sports reporter Jim Gray, who was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame last Sunday, asked Spence what he would like to do next.

 

 

 

“I want to fight the best,” Spence promised. “Danny Garcia and Shawn Porter are fighting each other (for the WBC title) and I definitely want to make that a unifying fight. We both have the same management, we both fight on SHOWTIME. Why not make that happen? I definitely want that fight whenever it’s available.”

 

 

 

В телевизионно съвместно функцията, Danny Roman defended his WBA Super Bantamweight World Championship with a unanimous decision over previously undefeated Moises Flores in a 12-round fight that was scored 116-112, 118-110, 120-108.

 

 

 

The champion Roman (24-2-1, 9 Нокаута) was the faster and sharper fighter from the opening bell. Римски, who was making the second defense of his 122-pound belt, pounded the body repeatedly over 12 кръга, connecting on a staggering 50 percent of his body shots. Цветя (25-1, 17 Нокаута), who failed to make weight for the title fight and was unable to win the belt, tired in the latter half of the fight and was largely a stationary target for Roman for 12 кръга.

 

 

 

Both fighters threw more than 1,000 щанци, yet it was Roman who was the more effective boxer, connecting on an impressive 42 процента на Неговата сила снимки.

 

 

 

“I was trying to box him. We tried to do a smart fight,” Roman said. “We tried to take him out, but unfortunately we couldn’t.

 

 

 

“I would like to unify. I would like to challenge any of the champions. I’d love to face Rey Vargas or Isaac Dogboe. I don’t mind going back to Japan either.”

 

 

 

“I know I messed up in training,” Flores said. “I didn’t make the weight, but I still wanted to perform and give it everything I have.

 

 

 

“We both hit each other a lot. Ударих (Римски) with some good shots, I just couldn’t finish him. I was probably around 60 percent energy-wise. From the fifth round on I had to just fight with pure heart.

 

 

 

"(Римски) put on a great show for the fans, and that’s what makes me feel great. That’s all I wanted was to put on a good fight.”

 

 

 

При откриването схватката на телевизията SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP Бокс, Javier Fortuna suffered an injury while falling through the ropes due to an accidental push in the fourth round and his 140-pound matchup with Adrian Granados was ruled a No Decision.

 

 

 

Granados (18-6-2, 11 Нокаута) and Fortuna (33-2-1, 23 Нокаута) both came out swinging from the opening bell. In a wild fourth round, Fortuna was deducted two points, first for punching to the back of the head, and second for holding. After the second point deduction, the former 130-pound champion Fortuna aggressively moved forward and unloaded a series of shots.

 

 

 

Секунди по-късно, Granados and Fortuna were clinching along the ropes near Granados’ corner when Fortuna fell backward through the ropes, whipping his neck as he fell back. Complaining of pain and lack of movement, Fortuna was stabilized with a neck brace and removed from the ring on a stretcher in what was later described as a precautionary measure.

 

 

 

По време на спирането, Grandos was leading on all three of the judges’ scorecards.

 

 

 

“I didn’t push him. I think he fell with his own,- каза Гранадос. “I think he was looking for an excuse on his way out. We were both battling, but I knew he could feel I was getting stronger. He caught me with a shot and it just turned me up.

 

 

 

“First and foremost I just want to pray that he’s OK. Let’s do the rematch. I’ve been dying for a fight at 140.”

 

 

 

Saturday’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast will re-air on Monday at 10 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available via SHOWTIME ON DEMAND and SHOWTIME ANYTIME.

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday ahead of the first boxing event to take place inside Ford Center at The Star:

 

Ерол Спенс JR.

 

 

 

“I’m really happy to be here and I’m so happy that everyone came out. Saturday night is going to be great. I’ve been training for 10 weeks and I’m 100 percent focused on Ocampo. I’m here to do my job, which is to win and look good winning.

 

 

 

“Ocampo is very dangerous because he has nothing to lose. It’s his first title fight, which is a position I’ve been in before. I had a lot of fire and I felt like I had nothing to lose. I’m sure he’s been training hard and is focused. I know he’s fighting for him family so he’s going to come to fight. I want a guy who’s going to test me so the crowd gets their money’s worth.

 

 

 

“I’ve had pressure my whole boxing career. Being on Olympian and a top prospect was pressure, but then I also went overseas to take the title from a top fighter. I’ve always overcome the pressure on me and I’m going to overcome another test on Saturday night.

 

 

 

“Every fight is a statement fight. Няма значение кой Боря. All eyes are on me in the welterweight division. People want to see if there are chinks in my armor, so it’s important for me to put on a great performance and prove I’m the best welterweight in the division.

 

 

 

“Dallas already is a boxing town, just not enough boxing comes here. I can be the star who has annual fights and bring the city out like we’re doing Saturday night. I’m going to prove we’re a boxing city in Dallas and that Texas is a boxing state period. I do this for the whole state.

 

 

 

“We work hard every camp and we’re 100 percent dedicated. There hasn’t been much difference in this camp than normal. The sparring with Jermell Charlo was top quality and has me prepared for Saturday night.

 

 

 

“I’m ready to line up those other champions. I’ve said that since I was 15-0. I want to fight every opponent and take them out no matter who it is. I’m here to prove that I’m the best in the division.”

 

CARLOS OCAMPO

 

 

 

“We’re here on the same stage and I’m ready. I’m appreciative to be here and I’m calm. Няма какво да губя. He has all the pressure of being in his hometown. I’m just relaxed and ready to fight.

 

 

 

“I’ve studied his fights enough. What’s most important is that I know that he has everything to lose and I don’t. He has a home field advantage, но в края на деня, it’s just two guys in the ring.

 

 

 

“I’ve gotten a great reception from the people here in Dallas. I’ve been treated like a champion and after Saturday I’ll be a world champion. You don’t want to miss this fight.

 

 

 

“He can try to come and knock me out, but this is my dream. This is what I’ve trained my whole life for and I’m not going to let this chance pass me by.

 

 

 

“I’m going to use my height, distance and jab throughout the fight. The counter will be important for me. I’m going to look to catch him so he better be ready.

 

 

 

“Отивам да оставя всичко на ринга. I’m going to show what I have and give everyone a great performance from start to finish.”

 

DANIEL ROMAN

 

 

 

“Flores is a tough opponent. I don’t overlook anybody. I know he’s going to come in and fight. Defending my belt is the only thing that’s on my mind.

 

 

 

“We work hard like always. The only thing that changes in camp is strategy, and we will be ready for anything Flores can bring.

 

 

 

“We’re going to be ready for his pressure. I’m going to fight a smart fight. If we have a chance to take him out early, then I’m going to jump on it. You never know what could happen in a fight.

 

 

 

“Flores is not an easy opponent. Nobody is at this level. I just work hard every day like it’s my first shot at a world title. I know that if I put in the work, everything will come together in the ring.”

 

MOISES FLORES

 

“Roman is a good fighter, that’s why we’re here. Hopefully on Saturday night he won’t be able to take my volume of punches. I’m going to bring pressure for every moment of the fight and we’ll see if he holds up.

 

 

 

“Everyone knows that I like to come forward and make exciting fights. There will be drama and I’m expecting to come out of there with my hand raised.

 

 

 

“On Saturday night I’m going to get redemption for everything that happened in my last fight and deliver a win and an exciting fight. This is a chance that I’ve worked and trained hard to get again.”

 

JAVIER FORTUNA

 

 

 

“Everyone knows what I can do here in the ring. I’m very glad to be here meeting Granados, because we’re going to give the fans a a great fight on Saturday that’s going to steal the show.

 

 

 

“I know that Granados has fought a lot of top opposition, but on Saturday night, I’m going to be a different fighter than he’s ever seen in the ring.

 

 

 

“This will be a battle. Everyone will see on fight night what the difference is between me and him. Аз съм специален боец. I’m going to prove it again on Saturday.”

 

ADRIAN Гранадос

 

 

 

“It’s been a long hard road to this fight. I know I have marks on my record, but I can easily say that I know all of them have been controversial. I’ve pushed through everything and I know that I’m truly respected as a fighter.

 

 

 

“I’m always going to bring the same fire and determination to the ring. If my opponent is brave enough to stand with me, then it’s going to be all-action. Така или иначе, I’m coming to break him down and get the victory.

 

 

 

‘Recently I’ve gone against a lot of opposition that is naturally bigger than me, but I’ve never backed down or been afraid of any of them. This fight is going to prove that I belong in the upper echelon of boxing.

 

 

 

“I’ve checked out Fortuna’s fights and he’s a scrapper. He likes to bang too in the ring just like I do. It’s all the recipes for a can’t miss fight.”

 

Дерик JAMES, Треньор на Спенс

 

 

 

“I’m very happy to see everybody out here and we’re so glad that the fans are getting involved. This city means everything to me and Errol, so to bring a great night like this and have this huge reception from the fans, is a little bit of extra motivation.

 

 

 

“I think we’re going to see a great fight. Ocampo is very tough opposition and Errol has trained very hard. We’re going to see the best Errol Spence on Saturday night and I’m sure we’ll see the best Carlos Ocampo, which should make for a fun night for the fans.”

 

BRITTANY GOOSSEN BROWN, Vice President of TGB Promotions

 

 

 

“We are so excited for Saturday night and to be bringing the first boxing event inside Ford Center at The Star. Dallas is a great fight town and who better to headline the first title fight here in 50 years than hometown favorite Errol Spence Jr.? He is sure to put on a great performance for his hometown fans.

 

 

 

“It has truly been a pleasure to work with the entire Dallas Cowboys organization throughout this promotion and we hope this is just the start of bringing sellout crowds here to the heart of Texas. We can’t wait to see you all there on Saturday night.”

 

СТИВЪН Еспиноза, президент Sports & Events Programming, Showtime Network Inc.

 

 

 

“SHOWTIME is thrilled to be here at The Star for the first boxing event inside of Ford Center. Week after week and month after month, we’ve delivered the best fighters in the most meaningful fights to boxing fans. Saturday is the 11тата SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING this year. These events have featured more than 15 за световната титла на битки, just in the first six months of the year. We’re doing more boxing and more high quality boxing than any other network by far.

 

 

 

“Saturday is no exception, especially in terms of quality. Ерол Спенс Jr. is a consensus top five pound-for-pound fighter. He’s knocked out 10 straight fighters and it was 2014 when an opponent last went the distance. Errol is in many ways our Dak Prescott (Dallas Cowboys quarterback), he’s a young star, a fan favorite and we expect him to be one of the faces of the sport for years to come.

 

 

 

“If you know of the tradition of Mexican fighters in this sport, then you know that Carlos Ocampo cannot be overlooked. He’s coming to win and that makes him very dangerous and should create an exciting fight.

 

 

 

“Both of the opening bouts leading up to the main event on SHOWTIME are significant bouts with fighters that bring all action styles to the ring.”

FRISCO, TEXAS (Юни 4, 2018) – Super bantamweight world champion Даниел Роман will defend his belt against unbeaten Мозес “Чъки” Цветя Събота, Юни 16 live on SHOWTIME from Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

Undefeated welterweight champion Errol “Истината” Килер за храна, Jr. will defend his IBF world title in a Dallas-area homecoming at the Dallas Cowboys facility against unbeaten mandatory challenger Carlos Ocampo in the main event. It will be the first boxing event inside Ford Center and Spence’s first hometown fight as world champion.

 

 

 

Билети за събитието, which is promoted by TGB Promotions in association with Man Down Promotions, са в продажба в момента и могат да бъдат закупени www.SeatGeek.com.

 

 

 

“This is shaping up to be a fantastic card with the addition of the 122-pound championship fight between Daniel Roman and Moises Flores and former champion Javier Fortuna taking on Adrian Granados in a 140-pound special attraction,” каза Том Браун, Председател на TGB Промоции. “None of these boxers have reverse in their gear box, which promises entertaining battles for the fans at The Star and those watching at home on SHOWTIME.”

 

 

 

The 27-year-old Roman (24-2-1, 9 Нокаута) will be making his second title defense of the WBA 122-pound championship he won with a TKO victory over Shun Kubo last September in Japan. The 28-годишният, на Los Angeles, Калифорния., returned to Japan and made his first title defense with a unanimous decision victory over Ryo Matsumoto this February. Roman enters this bout having won 16-straight fights.

 

 

 

“Everyone knows I want to fight the best and Flores is right up there,” - каза Роман. “He’s unbeaten for a reason and he’s the number one challenger for my title. Аз не съм го като леко. I’m motivated to be great. I’m more focused now than ever before. I’m not going to let Flores, or anyone else take my belt. The plan is simple. Pick him apart round by round just like I’ve done in my other world title fights.”

 

 

 

Цветя (25-0, 17 Нокаута), Гуадалахара, Халиско, Мексико, returns to the ring after a no contest against Guillermo Rigondeaux in a fight that saw Flores hit and knocked out with a shot that was initially called legal, but was eventually ruled to have come after the bell, thus causing the no contest. The 31-year-old scored an impressive win with a decision victory over Oscar Escandon in 2015 that earned him an interim 122-pound title and followed that up with victories over previously once-beaten fighters Luis Emanuel Cusolito and Paulus Ambunda.

 

 

 

“I’m going to make Daniel Roman fight me every round until the end,” Саид Флорес. “He’s a good boxer and a counter puncher, but I’m a warrior so I’ll be ready for anything he brings. If he can’t hold up to my power, then he’s going down early. This is a must-win and I’m determined to become a world champion on June 16.”

 

 

 

Състояние (33-2-1, 23 Нокаута) won the super featherweight title with a unanimous decision against Bryan Vasquez in 2015 and enters this fight looking to bounce back from a split-decision loss to lightweight champion Robert Easter, Jr. in January on SHOWTIME. The 28-year-old Fortuna, от La Romana, Доминиканската република, failed to make weight for the Easter fight and will now seek to challenge in the 140-pound division.

 

 

 

“I know that Adrian Granados is a warrior, but this fight breaks in my favor because I am simply the better fighter,” каза Fortuna. “I respect Granados’ style and I know he surprises a lot of people with his resiliency in the ring. I’m fully prepared to out-box him on fight night. I’m not concerned about moving up in weight either because once we step into the ring, I’ll be the bigger guy.”

 

 

 

The 28-year-old Granados (18-6-2, 12 Нокаута) has garnered a reputation as a boxer willing to accept all challenges and one who always pushed his opponents to the brink. Fighting out of Chicago, he looks to get back on the winning track with a victory over Fortuna. Last year Granados lost a unanimous decision to former welterweight champion Shawn Porter and a split-decision to four-division champion Adrien Broner. Before those two losses, Granados had put together a five-match win streak that included a TKO victory over Amir Imam.

 

 

 

“Javier Fortuna is a crafty southpaw, but I’m going to be stronger and better than ever back at 140-pounds,” - каза Гранадос. “I feel like I can knock out anybody at this weight. After I beat Amir Imam, everyone has been ducking me at this weight class. I’m going to make a statement about where I belong in boxing and give the fans a great show like I always do.”

DALLAS (Май 30, 2018) – Непобеден полусредна световен шампион Ерол Спенс Jr. hosted a media workout at his gym in Dallas Tuesday as he prepares for his homecoming title defense at Dallas Cowboys Headquarters against undefeated challenger Carlos Ocampo Събота, Юни 16 live on SHOWTIME from Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

 

 

 

The IBF titleholder spoked to media at the R&R Boxing Club along with trainer Derrick James, as the two prepare for Spence’s second title defense after winning the title from then unbeaten champion Kell Brook last May.

 

 

 

Билети за събитието, which is promoted by TGB Promotions in association with Man Down Promotions, са в продажба в момента и могат да бъдат закупени www.SeatGeek.com.

 

 

 

Here is what Spence and James had to say Tuesday:

 

Ерол Спенс JR.

 

 

 

“It feels good to be fighting back at home in Dallas. This is where I started and where my core fan base is. It’s great to fight in front of my people and even better that I can do it as a world champion now.

 

 

 

“I wanted to make my first title defense in Dallas, but everything happens for a reason and now I have this great opportunity to fight at the Dallas Cowboys’ facility. It’s an incredible venue that has everything you would want. It’s going to be a great atmosphere on June 16.

 

 

 

“We’re working hard on our game plan and sharpening our skills in camp to make sure I’m the best version of myself when I step into the ring against Ocampo.

 

 

 

“Timing is key in boxing. It’s more important than speed and it’s something I really focus on when I’m training. It’s timing and accuracy. You can be fast but if you don’t land, това не означава нищо.

 

 

 

“I’m a versatile fighter who is able to switch it up. I can box from the outside but also go on the inside. These are things that we’re always working on in the gym. Our opponent may bring something different than we expected into the ring, so we work on having a plan for everything.

 

 

 

“It’s great to have another world champion like Jermell Charlo in camp with me. Iron sharpens iron and we just work hard every day so that we can push each other to the next level. All of that helps me become victorious.

 

 

 

“I wouldn’t say I have one skill that sticks out the most in my arsenal. I’m a balanced boxer who can do everything. I can jab, throw a combo and show strong defense. I balance all of the attributes you need in the ring and that’s what makes me a great boxer.

 

 

 

“I’ve been putting this division on notice for a while. Юни 16 is another day that we’re going to give another one-sided performance and dominate. I’ve had the welterweight division on notice since my first fight. They know I’m here.

 

 

 

“Whoever wins the fight between Danny Garcia and Shawn Porter for the WBC title will have to fight me. I’m ready to unify. I’m ready to take the belt from either one of those guys.”

 

Дерик JAMES, Треньор на Спенс

 

 

 

“Errol is an incredibly hard worker in the gym and he always has been. We’re just making sure he’s on task and able to be peaking on June 16. I have no worries that he’s going to be distracted by fighting at home.

 

 

 

“There can definitely be a lot of distractions at home, but Errol is determined and I know he has the mentality that will allow him to put on his best performance. We’ve been preparing for anything Ocampo could possibly bring to the ring.

 

 

 

 

“I’m excited that my two daughters will be able to come to the fight. This night is all about our community and giving everyone here something to cheer about. The city has indicated that they’re really coming out to support Errol and he’s going to reward them.

 

 

 

“If we keep putting in the work like we have been, everything is going to come naturally on fight night. We’ve taken a look at what Ocampo likes to do and we’ll be ready. В края на деня, I think Errol is going to put on a great performance for this city.”

PHILADELPHIA (Май 12, 2018) – Blue chip lightweight prospect Devin Haney rose to the occasion in what was the toughest test of his career, defeating veteran Mason Menard via ninth-round TKO in the main event of ShoBox: Новото поколение Петък on SHOWTIME from 2300 Arena във Филаделфия.

Хани (20-0, 13 Нокаута) entered the fight as a highly regarded prospect who had never been tested. He faced his first test в петък in what was a scheduled 10-round bout against ShoBox veteran Menard (33-3, 24 Нокаута).

Haney took control of the fight from the opening bell and never relinquished it. The 19-year-old picked off Menard with a dominating jab from the outside and used lateral movement to avoid getting hit. Menard was unable to land any meaningful punches and he looked sluggish compared to Haney’s consistent movement and athleticism.

After nine rounds of domination, Menard’s corner had seen enough and stopped the fight following the round. Haney passed the toughest test of his career with flying colors, never once letting Menard take control of the fight.

“The plan was to go in there and work off the jab,- каза Хейни. “If the knockout came, I would take it but I just went in there, put on a boxing clinic and showed the world that I could go the full 10 кръга.

“I feel like I put on a performance. I was relaxed and did my job. I’m definitely the next superstar. There’s only bigger and better things from here on out. I work very hard. I went in and put on a good performance against a guy that people said could knock me out or hurt me.”

Following the fight, a defeated Menard was respectful of Haney’s performance.

“He never hurt me. He was catching me with the best shots he could and never hurt me. But the kid can definitely fight,” Menard admitted.

В съвместно функцията 10-кръг, super bantamweight prospect Joshua “Don’t Blink” Greer (17-1-1, 9 Нокаута) scored his third ShoBox knockout against Baltimore native Glenn Dezurn (9-1-2, 6 Нокаута).

The fight was explosive from the outset, with both fighters pushing the pace. Greer took advantage of Dezurn’s high guard to work the body, while Dezurn pushed forward to engage Greer on the inside. Greer began to dominate in the third round, when a big right hand hurt Dezurn with two minutes remaining.

“I knew he would come hard so I put I the work in the gym to make sure I was ready,” said Greer. “I’m just happy everything paid off.”

Greer hurt Dezurn again in the fifth round with a straight left, and eventually tied him up against the ropes with a succession of blows that almost had Dezurn’s trainer Barry Hunter stopping the fight. After the round, Hunter warned Dezurn that he would stop the fight if Dezurn didn’t fight back.

Despite almost going down in the fifth, Dezurn survived for three more rounds. The injured and exhausted Dezurn wasn’t able to put anything behind his punches and hit the canvas in the eighth round for the first time in his career before referee Benjy Esteves stopped the fight with 1:47 оставащи.

“I got caught with a few good shots, but I recovered quickly and I was still in the fight,” Dezurn said. “I have a lot of heart, which is a gift and a curse for me.”

A confident Greer was pleased with his performance after the fight.

“I wasn’t surprised I could knock him out,” Greer said. “I knew I could break his will.”

In an eight-round featured attraction, light heavyweight prospect Charles Foster (16-0, 8 Нокаута) remained undefeated with a unanimous decision win against Alvin Varmall Jr. (15-0-2, 12 Нокаута), отбелязаната 77-75, 78-74, 79-73.

Foster dominated the fight from the outset, controlling the scrappy Varmall, който стана 174тата fighter to suffer his first loss on ShoBox. Varmall made a valiant attempt to get inside in the early rounds, but a more disciplined Foster held him at bay, with Vermall stumbling and getting tied up inside.

“My experience was the difference,” Foster said. “He was loading up on one punches and I was sticking to my game plan – sticking behind the jab, working the body.”

Foster peppered Varmall with his lead left hand, tagging his opponent enough to break him down and eventually tire him out. Varmall landed a couple of statement shots but wasn’t able to hurt Foster and by the later rounds, his punches lacked power.

“When he would come on the inside he couldn’t hurt me,” Foster said. “I was the one controlling the entire fight.”

In the opening bout of the four-fight telecast, super bantamweight Arnold Khegai kept his unblemished record intact with a unanimous decision over veteran Adam Lopez, отбелязаната 77-74, 77-74, 78-73.

Осъществяване си U.S. дебют, the controlled Khegai (12-0-1, 8 Нокаута) pressed the action from the start. Khegai worked the jab and stayed mobile, capitalizing on a wobbly Lopez (16-2-3, 8 Нокаута) with a perfectly timed counter punch with 30 seconds remaining in the second round. Khegai stayed busy in the early rounds with consistent counter punches, but earned a point deduction for a hit to the back of Lopez’s head with seconds remaining in the sixth round.

“That was my first fight in the U.S. and I wanted to show something special,” Khegai said. “Everyone was waiting for the knockout, but I wanted to show my boxing skills. I could have gone for the KO in the middle of the fight, but I wanted to prove that I could box.”

Despite a slight dip in productivity in the later rounds, the Ukrainian stayed efficient, приземяване 31 body shots compared to just 15 from Lopez.

Lopez, caught off guard by Khegai’s fighting style, was disappointed by his performance in his record-setting seventh ShoBox вид.

“I was expecting him to be a dirty fighter, but it kind of threw me off my game. The referee kept telling me ‘don’t retaliate, don’t retaliate.’

"I couldn’t really land my hard shots. I landed a couple,” Lopez said. “I stunned him in the fourth or fifth with a right uppercut. He got rocked a little bit, but he’s a good fighter. He got out of it.”

Събитието се насърчава от Greg Коен Промоции във връзка с Промоции на Девин Хейни и Hard Hitting Promotions.

‘MIKE TYSONESQUE’ LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT ALVIN VARMALL JR LOOKING TO IMPRESS AGAINST CHARLES FOSTER ON SHOBOX: НОВОТО ПОКОЛЕНИЕ ПЕТЪК, МАЙ 11

Оставете коментар

A short, but murderous puncher, fighting behind a squat, peekaboo style, light heavyweight Alvin “Iron Majik” Varmall Jr. enjoys the comparisons people make between himself and former heavyweight champion “Iron” Mike Tyson.

 

 

 

“I always appreciate the comparison,” said Varmall, “I added ‘Iron’ to my old nickname ‘Majik’ because Mike Tyson is one of my favorite fighters and, by the grace of God, I ended up training at Cus D’Amato’s KO Boxing Gym in Catskill, Ню Йорк, the same gym that Tyson did, and learning his style in its purest form.”

 

 

 

Currently the only pro fighter training out of the famed gym, Varmall (15-0-1, 12 Нокаута), originally from New Orleans, Louisiana, will take on New Haven, Connecticut’s Charles Foster (15-0, 8 Нокаута) този петък, Май 11 in an eight-round featured attraction of a ShoBox: Новото поколение quadrupleheader, живеят на SHOWTIME в 10 p.m. ET/PT from 2300 Arena във Филаделфия.

 

 

 

In the 10-round main event Louisiana’s Mason Menard (33-2, 24 Нокаута) takes on undefeated Devin “The Dream” Haney (18-0, 12 Нокаута) of Las Vegas for the USBA Lightweight Championship. В съвместно функцията 10-кръг, super bantamweight prospects Josh “Don’t Blink” Greer (16-1-1, 8 Нокаута) and Glenn Dezurn (9-1-1, 6 Нокаута) will meet and in the opening televised fight, super bantamweight Arnold Khegai (11-0-1, 8 Нокаута) will face Adam Lopez (16-2-2, 8 Нокаута) в осем кръг мач.

 

Билети за събитието, which is promoted by Greg Cohen Promotions, Hard Hitting Promotions & Промоции на Девин Хейни, са с цени $125 за VIP, $70 за ринга и $50 for general admission and are available at the 2300 Arena Box office or online at www.HardHittingPromotions.com.

 

 

 

The 26-year-old Varmall says he’s been emulating the all-time-great Tyson from his earliest days in boxing.

 

 

 

“The Cus D’Amato style, I guess you could say, is my foundation. From the beginning of my career as an amateur, my first trainer, Rodney Jenkins, he started me out with the peekaboo style and it works the best for me. I ended up having 21 fights with 19 KOs and won the USA Nationals at heavyweight.”

 

 

 

Varmall says he’s in perfect shape and ready to begin carving out his own prize fighting legacy.

 

 

 

“I’m absolutely ready for this opportunity. I’ve waited a long time for it and it’s finally here. I trained the hardest I’ve ever trained and did a lot of things different for this camp. I’m definitely ready to showcase my talents and abilities. To say I’m not nervous, I’d be lying, but it’s about controlling that feeling. That’s what we learn at the Cus D’Amato Gym, how to control our feelings and use that as something to catapult us, instead of hindering us. After it’s all said and done, everyone can say what they want about my performance because I always come to bring my very best.”

 

 

 

Varmall says he realized early in his career that his punching power was well above average by sparring with a full-size heavyweight veteran in Louisiana.

 

 

 

“I was sparring with this guy, “Big” Fred Kassi. He’s from New Orleans. You know how big Fred is. One time, before sparring, he came to the corner and he said, ‘Majik, let me check your gloves. I just want to make sure we’re playing fair.’ After that, my trainer said, ‘see? Казах ти, you punch hard!"

 

 

 

В края на деня, Varmall says, he’s not out to match the great Tyson in achievement or legend. He’d rather carve out his own place.

 

 

 

“At the end of the day Mike Tyson was Mike yson and Alvin Varmall Jr. is Alvin Varmall Jr. Even though we both have the foundation of the same style, I do it in the way that is most comfortable for me. That’s what Mike did too. That’s what’s going to help me reach my full potential.”
