ERROL Spence JR.
“Þessi barátta þýðir allt fyrir mig. I still have a chip on my shoulder. I want to be the last man standing. I want to beat the top fighters in my division. Lamont is the one standing in front of me, so it’s fight time.
“I think it’s going to turn into a war. A lot of people have thought this would be an easy fight for me. But if you follow Lamont Peterson, you know this will be tough. He’s always in great shape and has a lot of skills. IT might be a dog fight and that’s what I wanted. He’s the guy who wanted to fight and I said of course. It’s going to be a rugged fight. Later on in the fights, he always gets rough and stands toe-to-toe.
“There might not be a lot of talking and bad blood between us, but you know that the two of us always give a great fight for the fans.
“I had to wait for my title defense and then I had a lot of guys not answer the call for this fight. I have a belt and I still have to call these other guys out. Lamont Peterson answered the call like a real fighter.
“In a perfect world I’d be unifying with Keith Thurman this year. I’m going to fight three times this year though. You don’t get time back. I’m ready to strike now.
“I’m just excited to fight. Ég vil berjast. I can’t wait to be in front of those bright lights in front of the fans. Brooklyn is a great place to fight and my family from the area can come see me live. I can’t wait to display my skills.
“A true champion can’t fight everybody who calls them out, it’s still a business. But a true champion fights other champions, especially when they’re available. You can’t avoid questions and try to delay a fight. You fight the next champion that’s available, that’s what a true champion does.”
LAMONT PETERSON
“When I got into boxing, I had goals. First I wanted to be a National Champion, then a world champion as a professional, but the ultimate goal is to be in the Hall of Fame. With that being my goal, I wouldn’t put myself in that conversation yet. With wins over a guy like Errol Spence and the other top welterweights, I think I’m right there in it. That’s my goal and I’ll give it my all to get there.
“If you left it to me I’d fight every month. That’s how much I love the sport. I know a victory would help me get in the ring even more often. Sometimes if you lose at the top level, other top guys don’t want to take a chance against you. I can fix all of that this weekend
“I don’t worry about any negativity. My resume is written in the history books. All I can do is respect the opinion of others and work hard to get this win.
“I’m excited and looking forward to the skill level that’s going to be displayed this weekend. It’s going to be a rough fight for sure. But I look forward to the technique and skill level. Defense, offense and transitioning between the two. That’s the part of boxing that I love.
“Errol even taking the Kell Brook fight was impressive to me. Most guys in his position take their time leading up to the first title shot, but he ended up fighting someone in his prime in his country. To will himself to that win was very impressive.
“When you get to the big stages and those big fights, you have to win more than you lose. I think if I can win some big fights these next few years my career will be in a good place.”
ROBERT Páska
“I have no concerns fighting a southpaw. I made my last fight hard, but this time I’m going to use my reach, my feet and my speed to dominate.
“I’m looking for a great performance. This is going to be the best Robert Easter the fans have ever seen. We prepared to dominate this fight.
“Javier Fortuna is an accomplished fighter but I don’t know too much about him. I know what I came to do. I’m a world champion and everyone knows what I bring to the fight game. I won’t leave without my strap.
“I’m ready to fight the best in this sport. I want to become the man at this weight and I know I have to beat the other champions to do that.
“Boxing is all about showing you’re the best and fighting the best. I just want to fight these other champions in my weight class. I’m looking to stay healthy in 2018 and remain on top.”
JAVIER FORTUNA
“I have no excuses on Janúar 20. I hope he doesn’t either. I will be taking that title to the Dominican Republic for my fans. I’ve been dreaming about it and I will take it.
“I have the style and the skills to beat Robert Easter. I know how to make sure his height does not affect me at all. Everyone will see it on fight night.
“I’ve prepared myself very well. I have a plan to win every round. If he’s able to stand there, I’m going to break him down round by round.
“I am fighting for more than just myself and that is why I’ll be successful. I am going to prove that I’m truly one of the top fighters in the sport.
“Robert Easter is a fighter I respect, but I believe I can defeat anyone in front of me. If he takes me lightly, it will go even worse for him. I’ve been training hard to make sure I’m at my absolute best on fight night.
“A win would be great for my country, my fans and my family. Winning this title is everything for me. That’s why I’m here and I will not be stopped.”
DERRICK JAMES, Spence er Trainer
“I started training Errol about nine years ago but I never really knew just how special he was until about a year or so into our training. I thought Olympics were definitely possible, because I didn’t want to look too far ahead. Now that we’re here, I think he can beat any of the top guys. I want him to be undisputed welterweight champion just like he wants to be.
“I never worry about comparing Errol to other guys in the sport. He’s a hard puncher who breaks ribs and breaks faces. The longer the fight goes, the more pain he inflicts. I’ve never seen anybody who punches that hard.
“I think Lamont knew when he moved up to welterweight that this fight would be a possibility. It’s time for us to go to work because I know Lamont and Barry Hunter are working on a game plan. They have a great team and I know Lamont will be ready for what we bring.”
BARRY HUNTER, Trainer Peterson er
“We stay in the gym all the time. We didn’t have to deal with the weight monster this camp. Weight issue can really derail a camp leading up to a fight of this magnitude. We didn’t have to deal with any of that.
“There are several different things in Errol’s arsenal that I think we can exploit. Errol will make adjustments though, so I think strategy will be a key in this fight.
“Lamont has always been a coach’s dream. He’s the type of athlete that you would love to coach. He does everything a coach asks of him. He will train until he passes out. All he wants is to work hard and compete.”
LOU DIBELLA, Forseti DiBella Skemmtun
“This is a great night for boxing. The first January date of the year drums up a lot of excitement and we expect a great turnout á laugardag nótt á Barclays Center. It’s going to be a great crowd and an exciting night from top to bottom.
“Errol Spence Jr. is one of the best young fighters in the world testing himself against another great fighter in Lamont Peterson It’s the best fighting the best. Lamont Peterson is a guy with a tremendous resume. If anybody thinks Errol is going to take Lamont lightly, they’re mistaken and he would be too.
“Both of these main event fighters are lucky to have trainers who are real teachers. They are old school and two of the best. Derrick James and Barry Hunter know the game inside and out.
“Robert Easter is a beast, he’s got reach, power and boxing ability. He’s facing a guy in Javier Fortuna who is a confident former world champion. Javier has been talking a big game. He’s talking about knockouts. You want to see a guy come into a fight like this with that kind of confidence.
“This year in boxing is starting out just like last year started, at Barclays Center with a great, even matchup like Badou Jack vs. James DeGale last year.”
STEPHEN Espinoza, Executive Vice President & General Manager, Showtime Sports
“In terms of representing the sport, you don’t get any better than Errol Spence Jr. and Lamont Peterson. The professionalism of these guys is unmatched and they represent the best of the sport. I’m proud to have them on the network.
“You can’t play boxing. You have to be dedicated and passionate. Those values are going to be reflected in the ring á laugardag.
“This is a special fight. These are the best in the sport. They’re both top 10 krakkar. Errol Spence Jr. has grown up on SHOWTIME.
He made his pro debut on ShoBox and won his first world title on SHOWTIME. This is Lamont’s eighth appearance on SHOWTIME and he has one of the strongest resumes in the sport.
“Robert Easter and Javier Fortuna is another matchup of top 10 krakkar. What we’re doing here is special. This isn’t just another network doing boxing, this is the cream of the crop.”
BRETT YORMARK, CEO of Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment
“I’m really excited about Laugardagur nótt. We’ve been very fortunate to host the first big event of the year. There’s an appetite to get back into the game and we’re happy to be hosting it.
“I want to welcome back Errol and Lamont to Barclays Center. Both have been there before and we’re thrilled to have you back. We’re pleased that Robert has finally decided to take his show to Barclays Center and give the fans a performance. Last time Javier won at Barclays Center he won his world title and we’re happy to have him back.
“We’re going to create something great here in Brooklyn and it continues á laugardag night at Barclays Center.”

LAMONT PETERSON
“Mér finnst frábært. Ég er nú þegar nálægt því að þyngd. Ég er ánægður og borða allt að fimm sinnum á dag. Mér finnst sterkur og ég er tilbúinn fyrir þennan bardaga.
“Ég verð að líta á þetta sem í raun bara annar stór baráttunni. Þegar þú ert á the toppur, þú reynir ekki að gera of mikið af hverju berjast. Við vitum hvað er í húfi. Ég veit að þegar ég halda það einfalt, það er þegar ég virkar best.
“Núna líður betur en nokkru sinni fyrr líkami minn. Ég er ánægð með allt sem er farið á í búðunum og ég held að þú getur séð það í líkama minn.
“Ég hef alltaf æft erfitt frá fyrsta degi sem ég kom hingað sem barn. Sem hefur verið dreypt í mér þar unga aldri og það er bar mig um feril minn.
“Allt sem ég geri er að D.C. Ég er að reyna að fá eins mikið viðurkenningu fyrir þetta svæði er besta leiðin sem ég get. Það er það sem við öll leitast við í þessari ræktina. Þetta er stærsta einn sem hefur verið á dagskrá um hríð og ég er tilbúin til að koma með það heim.
“Það verður auðveldara og auðveldara því fleiri Championship berst ég er í. Ég var í formi fyrir þeim öllum, en ég setti örugglega meiri þrýsting á mig þegar ég var ungur. Ég hef bætt í hvert skipti og nú líður eins og ég sé í raun á fullkomna stað á ferlinum.”
ANTHONY PETERSON
“Ég hef til að gera yfirlýsingu. Ég finn aldrei ánægð með ákvörðun. Ég held að það er gott vegna þess að ég þarf að vera sérstakur undir björtu ljósin.
“Allir vita að ég vil fara að líkamanum. Þú veist að ég ætla að láta hann vinna svo þú getur litið út fyrir mig að brjóta andstæðinginn mína niður á Janúar 20.
“Ég hef verið að sparring með ýmsum reynda bardagamenn á síðasta ári og þeir hafa hjálpað mér út, jafnvel meðan ég hef ekki haft berjast. Ring ryð er allt andlegt. Það er komið að þér að setja verkið í.
“Ég hef ekki fengið slagsmál sem ég vil, en ég ætla alltaf standa við leik minn og standa við iðn mína. Ég veit að ef ég þrauka, það mun virka fyrir mig.
“Ég veit að ég elska þessa íþrótt. Ég veit að á endanum mun ég vera heimsmeistari. Ég trúi á framtíð mína og ég hlakka til stóru átök.
“Það er hvetjandi að horfa Lamont gera hlutur hans og ná árangri. Hann er að fara að slá Errol Spence, jafnvel þótt fólk trúi því ekki. Ég held að hann er að fara að hugsa um viðskipti.”
BARRY HUNTER, Trainer Peterson er
“Það hefur verið langur mala í búðunum fyrir þessar krakkar. Þegar ég hugsa til baka um hve lengi við höfum verið í þessari ferð, Ég er mjög stoltur af þeim. Þau voru 9 og 10 þegar þeir komu fyrst inn í ræktina.
“Við höfum ekki þyngd skrímsli til að takast á við að berjast á veltivigtar. Lamont er á frábærum stað andlega og líkamlega. Ég hlakka til að sprengiefni berjast.
“Þegar þú horfir á Spence, Brook baráttunni, snemma á Brook hafði mikla velgengni. Niður teygja Errol leggja vilja hans og braut Brook niður. Ég veit Errol vel og ég hef þjálfað hann. Hann hefur sterka vilja. Hann er ekki mikill á einu svæði, En hann er góður í fullt af sviðum. Þetta er annars konar strákur hann er frammi. Hjarta er eitthvað Lamont er hvergi nærri stutt á. Ég held að þetta gæti byrjað á taktísk, og þá snúa í stríð.
“Starf mitt er að fara í það með hluta af áætlun, en það er alltaf um leiðréttingar fyrir okkur. Hvað Errol koma að borðinu, Við munum reikna það út og setja allt í gang.
“Þessi síðustu viku er mikið af leiknum áætlun og andlega undirbúnings. A einhver fjöldi af bardagamenn þjálfa ekki hugann. Þú þarft að þjálfa hugann jafnvel meira svo en í líkamanum. Við verðum að vera tilbúin fyrir hvert atburðarás.
“Ég held að ef Anthony fer í það og gerir starf sitt að það eru nokkrar lausar titlar á 140 pund og það er lag fyrir okkur. Við viljum fá ól um lendar hans og við munum standa frammi fyrir neinum að fá það.
“Lamont, ásamt Anthony, Gary Russell Jr., Jarrett Hurd og Gervonta Davis, hefur verið að halda niðri box á þessu sviði í langan tíma. Það væri mikið að koma þessu Titill Heim. There ert a einhver fjöldi af ungu Lamont Petersons á þessu sviði sem vilja ná þessu stigi. Það væri leiðarljós ljós skínandi niður og sýna þessu fólki leið.”

Hér er það sem Spence og þjálfari hans, Derrick James, þurfti að segja Þriðjudagur úr R&R Boxing Club í Dallas:
ERROL Spence JR.
“Allir sem hafa séð mig berjast fyrir veit að það mun ekki vera leiðinlegur bardagi. Jafnvel ef það er einhliða, það er alltaf að fara að vera aðgerð pakkað. Janúar 20 er að fara til vera a gríðarstór berjast og ég ætla að setja á a mikill árangur. Ég ætla að ráða.
“Verja titil minn í Brooklyn verður sérstakur. Ég hef fjölskyldu í New York líka svo það þýðir mikið að ég ætla að vera fær um að verja á Barclays Center. New York er box borg svo þeir raunverulega þakka meistarar og vita íþrótt.
“Ég er spenntur að vera að berjast við mann eins Lamont Peterson. Ég ætla ekki að berjast reglulega engum nafn bardagamaður. Hann er að fara að koma best út úr mér því hann er sannur bardagamaður. Það gerir alla reynslu enn betri.
“Efstu í íþróttum er í raun upp fyrir grípa núna og ég er að koma að því. Mér er alveg sama hver ég þarf að takast eða þar, Ég ætla að vera Last Man Standing. Þess vegna höfum við öll fá inn í þessa íþrótt. Ég er mjög öruggur í sjálfum mér.
“Lamont og ég bæði hafa stór hjörtu og ég held að allir geti séð það í hringnum. Við erum bæði snjöll bardagamenn þannig að það gæti verið smá tilfinningu út áður en við fáum að fara. En ég búast við það til að vera Dogfight.
“Þetta samfélag í Dallas er mjög mikilvægt fyrir mig. Þegar ég var
alast upp hér voru engin fagleg Boxer frá hér að ég gæti litið á sem fyrirmynd. Þegar þú hefur úrræði til að gefa til baka, það er mikilvægt að gera það. Ég elska að vera í ræktinni og aðstoða virkilega ungu krakkar og gefa þeim eitthvað að stefna að til.”
DERRICK JAMES, Spence er Trainer
“Errol lítur mjög vel út í þjálfun. Hann hefur mikla áherslu. Hann er mjög smáatriði stilla og fært inn á að vera besta útgáfan af sjálfum sér. Ákvörðunin á andliti hans lætur mig vita að hann vilji fara ekki steinn unturned og ganga úr skugga um að allt gengur leið sína á Fight Night. Við vinna baráttuna í ræktina ekki í hring.
“Errol hefur að halda þetta hugarfar að fara inn í þessari baráttu og víðar, og hann veit að. Aðlaðandi einn titil er ekki það sem hann vill. Hann vill vera óumdeildur welterweight meistari. Hann er mjög markviss og ég tel að hann muni ná því markmiði. Hann tekur ekki nei fyrir svar. Hann er að fara að ýta sér til takmörk og ná markmiðum sínum.
“Lamont Peterson er mjög fyndinn og greindur í hringnum. Hann er sterkur strákur líka. Hann færir það andlega æðruleysi sem þú þarft til að ná árangri. Við höfum til að koma til þessa baráttu 100 prósent og einbeitt allan tímann. Ef við gerum ekki, við getur komið upp stutt.
“Ég verð að vera bestu útgáfu af sjálfri mér líka. Ég reyni að fá betri og betri í hvert berjast og á hverjum degi í ræktina. Ég veit að ég þarf að vera á toppur af öllu sem gæti gerst. Barry Hunter er sterkur, greindur þjálfari sem koma mikið að borðinu. Lamont hefur frábært lið. Það er ánægjulegt og heiður að takast þá í hringnum.”

Hér er það sem bardagamenn hafði að segja um janúar þeirra 20 matchups og fleira:
ROBERT Páska (20-0, 14 Kos) – Gerð þriðja varnir IBF Léttur heimsmeistaratitilinn
“Þessi bardagi getur ákveðið að setja góða tón fyrir mig í 2018. Ég ætla að vera að gera yfirlýsingu þessari baráttu. Síðustu þrjú berst mínar sem ég hef ekki fengið knockout. Ég ætla að vera að gefa aðdáendum mínum og berjast fans góð sýning.
“Ég ætla að nota seilingar og lengd og eyðileggja þessa strákur frá úti. Allt sem ferill minn sem ég hef verið að berjast styttri krakkar. Sérhver stutt strákur er ekki að berjast við það sama. En þú færð í hring og þú finnur hann út og gera breytingar.
“Það er ekkert í lagi að ég þarf að undirbúa sig fyrir með Fortuna. Ég tek hvert berjast sama. Sérhver bardagamaður berst öðruvísi þannig að þú færð í það, finnst hann út og gera breytingar sem þú ferð með. Ég hef ekki áhyggjur af honum að vera southpaw. Ég hef staðið frammi nóg af lefties á ferli mínum og í áhugamenn. Það er ekkert vandamál á öllum.
“Ég held að það sem gerir mig meira hættulegri Boxer í þessari baráttu er að hafa hæð sem ég geri og gata kraft og hraða og hugarfari sem. hugarfari mitt er að ég ætla ekki að fara í það að leika í kring með honum. Ég er tilbúinn til að eyða.
“Markmið mín fyrir 2018 eru að ná fleiri titla og fá sameiningu lota. Við áttum nokkur meistarar í þyngd flokki, en það virðist sem enginn er tilbúinn að berjast við aðra meistarar. Við erum tilbúin til að gera hvað sem það tekur, berjast hver hefur titla. Við erum tilbúin til að handtaka alla þá titla þegar aðrir krakkar eru tilbúnir til að skrá þig fyrir átök.”
JAVIER FORTUNA (33-1-1, 23 Kos) – Fyrrum Super Featherweight heimsmeistari
“Undirbúningur minn fyrir þessari baráttu er að fara mjög vel. Ég hef verið að vinna í Dóminíska lýðveldinu, en ég hef komið aftur til Boston til að ljúka þjálfun minni. Núna erum við á 75% og að krækja í 100%. Ég mun vera alveg tilbúinn þegar það er kominn tími til að berjast. Undirbúningur minn og stefna mín gera mig hættulegri strákur.
“Ég sé þetta eins og engin önnur berjast sem ég hef haft áður, vegna þess að hvert andstæðingurinn er öðruvísi. Allir hafi eigin sess þeirra á þessu stigi, eitthvað sem virkar fyrir þá. sess hans er að hann er hávaxinn. Hann notar það til framdráttar. En það er ekkert sem ég get ekki sigrast. Ég hef barist á hæð krakkar áður.
“Ég vil frekar andstæðinga mína til að vera hærri. Það spilar inn í það sem ég er fær um að gera. Ég hef aldrei haft vandamál með hærri andstæðinga. Abner Cotto (5-10) er eitt af stóru krakkar sem ég barðist. Ég barðist í Chicago og setja á a mikill árangur. (Fortuna skorað 5th umferð KO gegn Cotto)
“Markmið mitt fyrir 2018 er að berjast við efstu Elite bardagamenn í þyngd bekknum mínum, og ég er að reyna að verða nefnd sem einn af þeim bestu í íþróttinni. Ég vil virkilega að vinna annan heiminum titil í öðru þyngd bekknum. Það væri stærsta stund svo langt á mínum ferli til að fá annað heimsmeistaratitilinn.”
MARCUS BROWNE (20-0, 15 Kos) – Top 10 sæti á 175 £. (WBC, WBO, WBA & IBF)
“Andstæðingurinn minn (Francy Ntetu, 17-1, 4 Kos) lítur út eins og a varanlegur, töffari. Ég sé þessi bardagi sé mjög spennandi fyrir aðdáendur eins lengi og það endist. Ég sá smá borði á honum. Ég veit að hann kemur alltaf í þjórfé-toppur lögun, og ég heyri hann er samræmi í frammistöðu hans í hringnum. I just know I’m going to have to be sharp on Jan. 20.
“Það er alltaf heiður að berjast hér heima og á Barclays Center. Það er sérstakt að vera fær um að framkvæma í framan af þessum aðdáendur og ég get ekki beðið eftir því að setja á góðum árangri aðdraganda Spence vs. Peterson berjast.
“Þessi bardagi gæti sett mig í stöðu sem ég þarf að vera í til að berjast fyrir titli heimsins. Ég get ekki verið ábótavant á nokkurn hátt. Ég verð að koma út sterk með miklum árangri frá upphafi til enda og fara eflaust í það.
“Fyrir 2018, Ég vil verða heimsmeistari. Ég er ákveðinn Tomake það gerast á þessu ári. That vision starts on Jan. 20 at Barclays Center against Francy Ntetu.”
Francy NTETU (17-1, 4 Kos) – Barðist David Benavidez á Barclays Center í júní 2015
“I know Marcus Browne is probably taking me lightly and thinks he will simply go through me. Ég vona það er málið, vegna þess að það er að fara að vera áfall fyrir hann, aðdáendur og hans lið þegar ég tek hann blettur í lína fyrir a titli. Ég vil að takast Eleider Alvarez í heimabæ okkar Montreal eftir að ég fá þetta vinna.
“Fyrri berjast minn á Barclays Center gegn núverandi WBC meistari David Benavidez var augljóslega mjög slæmt ákvörðun dómarans að stöðva í baráttunni, sérstaklega þegar ég var að vinna umferð og Benavidez voru hægja. Ég var að fá sterkari á meðan hann var að fá sterkari.
“Ég hef aldrei verið sárt og aldrei dottið í baráttunni. Ég vil Marcus að skora sjálfur og sjá hvort hann geti gert eitthvað sem enginn annar hefur. Ég er spenntur að vera í baráttunni af þessari stærðargráðu. Marcus, það er kominn tími fyrir okkur að gefa stuðningsmönnunum það sem þeir vilja!”
ADAM Kownacka (16-0, 13 Kos) – Upphaflega frá Póllandi & berjast af Brooklyn
“Þessi barátta er að fara að vera annað skref í átt að verða meistari. Ég veit að ég er að fara að vinna mjög hart og sanna að ég er að halda áfram að byggja á sigri mínum gagnvart Szpilka. Frá myndband sem ég hef séð á Iago Kiladze (26-1, 18 Kos), Hann flytur mikið, þannig að ég ætla að þurfa að skera burt hringinn. Hvað sem hann færir hringinn, Ég hef svarið fyrir.
“Þrjú ár í röð núna sem ég hef verið að berjast í janúar. Ég elska að byrja á því ári sterk. Konan mín og ég reyndar byrjaði hefð “Kownacki Family Run” á miðnætti on New Year’s Eve. Þar sem ég er alltaf að undirbúa að berjast um áramótin, við mynstrağur við might eins og heilbrigður að hafa gaman á meðan við vinnum. Svo, Við munum hafa sumir vinir koma fram og hlaupa nokkra kílómetra með okkur um hverfið á flugelda. Það er gaman og hjálpar að fá mér tilbúinn.
“Á endanum, Ég er að leita að verða bestur í þungavigtar deild. The endir takmark fyrir þetta ár er að verða heimsmeistari. En fyrsta skrefið er að taka Iago Kiladze mjög alvarlega. I can’t look past Janúar 20 núna. Ég hafa a sterkur andstæðingur sem vilja áskorun og gera mig að betri bardagamaður í the langur hlaupa.”
Iago KILADZE, Þriðji bardagi þar færa allt til þungavigtar deild (2-0, 2 Kos)
“I feel great and my training has been terrific. Þjálfari minn er Freddie Roach nú. Ég sparred með (IBF Cruiserweight Champion) Murat Gassiev þrisvar sinnum undanfarið sem er mikill undirbúningur fyrir mig. I believe I can knockout Kownacki but if I have to go the distance I’m prepared for that. Hvort heldur, Ég ætla að sigra. Ég finn að ég er meira þjálfaður bardagamaður og það mun sýna í hringnum.
“Þetta er frábær berjast fyrir feril minn og frábær byrjun fyrir 2018. I know that if I win this fight I’ll be that much closer to a world title opportunity.
“Markmið mitt er að vera heimsmeistari í lok 2018. I want to continue improving and learning under Freddie and with his guidance I’m confident of success.”

Hér er það sem blaðamannafund þátttakendur höfðu að segja Miðvikudagur:
ERROL Spence JR.
“You’re going to see the same Errol Spence that you’re used to. I can’t look ahead because I know how dangerous Lamont Peterson is. I’ve been in training camps with him and I know what he can do.
“I’ve seen too many fighters look down the road and get beat before they get to the big fight. I have to be 100 percent focused and hungry. I’m fully dedicated to this fight.
“Lamont can push me to even greater levels. I feel like he is a better fighter than Kell Brook and has even more heart than Kell Brook and he can bring out the best in me.
“I think it’s going to start out as a boxing match, but as we go on, it’s going to be a dog fight. We both have big hearts. I’ve never known Lamont to turn down any fight. Not a lot of people wanted to fight me. The big names shied away from me but Lamont stood up and said he’d fight me. This is going to be a hard fight.
“I used to watch Lamont and his brother Anthony Peterson before I ever met them. I like their styles, the way they throw body punches and the fundamentals that they learned from Barry Hunter.
“I think I can be known as the best pound-for-pound in the sport, but I have to take it one fight at a time. I want to be the undisputed welterweight champion. That should be everyone’s ultimate goal – to be the best fighter in the sport. But first I have a big test ahead of me Janúar 20.
“This is the business of the sport. I was a young guy when Lamont was giving me advice. Now we’ve gotten to this point. It really shows his longevity in the sport and how I’ve reached the ranks of being a top pro fighter.
“Sparring with Lamont Peterson was really great work. Það var að læra að upplifa. I was an amateur so I was going at a fast pace and Lamont was being patient, blocking and countering and picking his shots. He was fighting at a pro pace and I didn’t really understand it until I got farther into my career.
“You’ve seen me and Lamont fight. We’re not in boring fights. We have fan-friendly styles and you’re going to get a really good fight. We have the mentality to really go after it and give it our all to get this win.
“I want the best in this division to all fight each other. It’s time for everyone else to stand up and proclaim that they want to be great. That’s how we get this division to the peak. I don’t feel like waiting to fight the best. I want to prove myself.”
LAMONT PETERSON
“This is a world title fight and I’m thankful for that. I try not to make too much out of each fight. I just want to take it one fight at a time. I’ve done this for 13 years as a professional. All fights are the same. I’m going to go in there and take care of business.
“As a top fighter, you’re obligated to take what comes on the table. Regardless of who it is. It’s boxing. It’s a sport and we’re competitors. We want to go in there and compete to see who’s the best. We’re going to treat it like business like we always do.
“You already know when I fight, it’s a feeling out process to start, but in my head, Ég er tilbúin til að fara. It’s going to get rough in the trenches and we’ll see who wants it more.
“I knew six years ago when Errol was in my camp that we’d get to this point. I knew he would be a champion. Að mestu leyti, I’ve seen him improve and progress throughout the pro ranks and I believe he’s going to keep getting better.
“I don’t pay any attention to the outside noise. I respect everyone’s opinion. I just go out and train to do what I love to do. I do this because I love to box. I’m not here to get on a list. I truly love this sport.
“I can’t worry about people thinking that Errol is the next star in this sport. I believe that, but I can’t worry about it. It is up to me and my team to come up with the right type of strategy and execute it.
“I’m not too worried about figuring out his southpaw stance. I’ve been around long enough and encountered enough southpaws. I’m confident I’ll be able to handle it.
“The size may seem like an advantage for Errol, but it’s up to me and my team to figure out the best way to negate it. I know who I am. I’m a competitive person. Regardless of everything, I’m going to come to win.”
DERRICK JAMES, Spence er Trainer
“We have a game plan in place. We’ll try to perfect everything leading up to this one. We’re working on making Errol a more complete fighter every time out. He’ll be better than he was when you saw him against Brook.
“We’re looking for the perfect fight. It takes a great fighter to bring out the greatness in another great fighter. These guys are high caliber fighters and it’s about as good a matchup as you can have in the division.
“These are two guys with the mentality to go after it. But they also have technical skill. This is going to be an old school fight between guys with real skills.
“It’s one thing to do it, but it’s another to teach. I’ve really understood this sport since I became a trainer. Fighters are developed, not born. I’m going to keep working with these guys on the fundamentals so we can bring up the whole sport.”
BARRY HUNTER, Trainer Peterson er
“When I look at Errol Spence, I instantly fell in love with him because he reminded me of Lamont so much. They both have that dog mentality. I’ve always known he was a special fighter.
“Lamont told me when he worked with Errol that he really liked the kid. He knew he would be a world champion. I had to remind myself that this is business. We have to fight our friends.
“These are the two guys who are ready to fight anybody. The fight on Janúar 20 is going to be one to remember. It’s a fan-friendly fight.
“Errol Spence is the best fighter in the welterweight division. You have athletes that can fight and athletes who are fighters. Errol and Lamont are both. They have the skills and they have the ability to fight.
“To be the best in the world, you have to fight the best in the world. All the greats have done it. In order to get back to the glory days, we need to put the best against the best. I have confidence in Lamont Peterson against anybody.”
LOU DIBELLA, Forseti DiBella Skemmtun
“There are very few fights you could make that are better in the welterweight division than this fight. It’s going to take place at the home of big-time boxing, here at Barclays Center in Brooklyn and live on SHOWTIME.
“Errol Spence is one of the most talked about fighters in the sport. Some think he could be the best fighter in the world. He’s consistently said he only wants to fight the best and on Janúar 20 he will be fighting another champion and another great welterweight. Lamont Peterson never backs down from a challenge and we know he’ll be ready for this fight on Janúar 20.
“This is a great event that continues the run of significant meaningful matchups on SHOWTIME. It’s been great quality programming. The fight cards have all been incredibly easy to promote because the fights have been so strong. You have to make fights with great fighters battling other great fighters. That’s what we need to energize our fans and our sport.”
STEPHEN Espinoza, Executive VP & General Manager, Showtime Sports
“As we come to the end of 2017 we look back on what has been a really strong year. 25 nights of live boxing, 80 live boxing matches and 27 titill heimurinn berst. Not just title fights, but world title fights featuring top ranked challengers against top ranked champions.
“We’ve brought you the most watched fight of the year in Keith Thurman vs. Danny Garcia right here at Barclays Center on CBS. It was also the most watched primetime boxing match in nearly 20 ár. But we will not be resting on our laurels.
“We’ll kick off next year with an incredibly strong card. Errol Spence has grown up on SHOWTIME and we’re proud of that. He made his debut on ShoBox and won his world title on SHOWTIME. He has knocked out nine straight opponents and in his last five fights his opponents have an impressive record of 141-7-3.
“Not a lot of fighters are rushing to fight Errol Spence. Lamont Peterson not only stepped up to the challenge, but he relinquished his welterweight title to take this fight. That’s the kind of fighter he is. He has one of the strongest resumes in the division and he’s fought the best guys in the sport.
“We’re thrilled to kick off the year with this matchup. It’s another great fight in the welterweight division, a division we’ve been paying a lot of attention to for years. We’ll see you on Janúar 20.”
BRETT YORMARK, CEO of Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment
“We’re coming off of an incredible 2017 for BROOKLYN BOXING. It far exceeded my expectations. We’re very committed to boxing, not just now, but in the future. This fight kicks off what I think will be a great 2018 for BROOKLYN BOXING.
“Lamont was on the first ever PBC card at Barclays Center in 2015 and Brooklyn is happy to have you back. Errol was here in the spring of 2016 and we’ve had him as a fan several times, but we far prefer having you here in the ring.
“Barclays Center is known for hosting 50-50 fights and this is no different. We’re thrilled to be holding this event here in Brooklyn. We look forward to seeing you on Janúar 20.”

“I’m pleased to be promoting Spence vs. Peterson, one of the very best matchups in the welterweight division and in all of boxing,” sagði Lou DiBella, Forseti DiBella Skemmtun. “Spence is not only one of the best welterweights in the world, but one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in boxing. In Peterson, he faces another elite welterweight and a two-time world champion. Spence vs. Peterson will bring the heat to Barclays Center on a chilly January 20. This is yet another night in the outstanding run of big time fights on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING.”
“Spence vs. Peterson is an intriguing matchup between two elite welterweights looking to reach the top of this marquee division,” said Tom Brown, Forseti TGB Tilboð. “Errol Spence is a rising star with his sights set on title unification and the top of the pound-for-pound list, but he’s going to receive a stern test from Lamont Peterson, a multiple division champion whose resume is filled with top class opponents. It’s going to be another fantastic atmosphere at Barclays Center and a great night of fights live on SHOWTIME.”

“BROOKLYN BOXING enjoyed a banner year in 2017, and we are looking forward to carrying that momentum into 2018,” sagði Brett Yormark, CEO of Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment. “Spence vs. Peterson sets a strong precedent for the year, with two top welterweights returning to the ring at Barclays Center to compete for recognition in one of the sport’s most talented divisions.”
Spence (22-0, 19 Kos), af Dallas, traveled to England to dethrone IBF 147-pound champion and hometown favorite Kell Brook on Maí 27 on SHOWTIME in one of the defining fights of 2017. The 27-year-old, who had long been touted as boxing’s next big thing, fulfilled his promise with a breakthrough performance, fracturing Brook’s orbital bone en route to an 11th round TKO. A 2012 Bandarískt. Olympian, Spence will enter the ring at Barclays Center for the third time after most recently stopping former champion Chris Algieri in an April 2016 helstu atburði. He will fight in Brooklyn for the fourth time; he earned his title shot by knocking out Leonard Bundu at the Ford Amphitheater at Coney Island Boardwalk in August 2016.
“My goal is to unify the welterweight division in 2018, but this fight is a true test and Lamont Peterson is a veteran that I definitely will not overlook,” said Spence. “I sparred him in the amateurs and I know what he brings to the table. I have to get through him to achieve my goals and that is what I plan on doing January 20th.”
Peterson (35-3-1, 17 Kos), Washington, D.C., has won titles at 140 og 147 pounds while facing some of the biggest names in the sport, including Danny Garcia, Amir Khan and Timothy Bradley. The 33-year-old won the WBA 147-pound title in his last outing Febrúar. 18 on SHOWTIME before relinquishing the belt for the chance to challenge Spence. Peterson has won four of his last five outings, twice fighting at Barclays Center. His Brooklyn debut saw him defeat Edgar Santana by TKO in 2014 before dropping a narrow majority draw to Garcia in a 2015 main event in Brooklyn.
“Fyrstur burt, I’m happy to be getting back in the ring,” Said Peterson. “I’ve stayed in the gym and I’m ready to go. This is a fight I wanted and as I said before when I became a welterweight, I want to fight the best and make the fights that people want to see. I’m ready to give it my all and give the fans a great show.”

BROOKLYN (Nóvember. 5, 2017) – Undefeated heavyweight world champion Deontay Wilder retained his WBC title in his sixth defense with a dominant first-round knockout of mandatory challenger Gold Cup í aðalkeppni á Showtime Championship Boxing Laugardagur night on SHOWTIME from Barclays Center, heimili BROOKLYN hnefaleikum®.
Wilder (39-0, 38 Rothögg) knocked Stiverne (25-3-1, 21 Kos) to the ground three times before referee Arthur Mercante halted the bout at 2:59 af opnun umferð. After Stiverne took Wilder the distance in their January 2015 title bout, Wilder has now knocked out every single opponent that he has faced in his career. Watch Wilder knocking out Stiverne HÉR.
“So much frustration, it just seemed like my career, it’s been crazy. So many guys using PED’s”, Said Wilder, the only American heavyweight world champion. “I just want to prove that I am the best. I know I am the best but I want to prove I am the best.”
Wilder first knocked Stiverne to the ground with a devastating one-two combination that caught the Haitian challenger on the nose. Seconds after Stiverne got back to his feet, Wilder landed another clean combination with a big left and an overhand right that sent a stunned Stiverne back to the canvas. The final blow came in the waning moments of the opening round as Wilder landed four clean punches to the face of a wobbly Stiverne.
“You have to give props to Stiverne for getting in the ring,” Said Wilder. “It takes a lot of courage and it takes a lot of pride to step in the ring with someone like me. We do what we have to do in the ring and at least he stepped up. He was a clean fighter.”
After the brutal knockout, an emotional Wilder was asked by SHOWTIME Sports®reporter Jim Gray about a possible fight with unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua.
“I’ve been waiting on that fight for a long time now,” Said Wilder. “I declare war upon you. Do you accept my challenge? I’ve been waiting for a long time. I know I’m the champion. I know I’m the best. Are you up for the test?
“A king doesn’t chase the peasants. A king takes kings. I want Joshua. If he doesn’t give me the fight we have other plans. The world wants Joshua, the world wants Wilder, I want Joshua. Joshua come and see me baby. No more dodging, no more excuses. Make the date, don’t wait.”
Former welterweight world champion Shawn Porter (28-2-1, 17 Kos) ósigur Adrian Granados (18-6-2, 11 Kos) með samhljóða ákvörðun (skoraði 117-111 by all three judges) in an exciting fight between two all-action competitors that served as the co-featured event of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING. The victory makes Porter the mandatory title challenger for unified welterweight champion Keith Thurman’s WBC belt.
Wear, who injured his left hand in the sixth round, landed the sharper and more accurate punches throughout the fight, Ásamt 40 prósent af orku högg hans. Both fighters came out aggressive in the early rounds and exchanged several powerful blows.
“He gave me a little trouble here and there,” Said Porter. “I hurt my left hand in the sixth round, but I kept using it. I had to use my jab. It took a toll on me and by the 10th round I just couldn’t throw it anymore.
“The strategy was to keep working the jab. I knew he’d come at me periodically. I was prepared and dug deep to get the win.”
Granados, of Cicero, Ill., fought valiantly and withstood multiple barrages from the powerful Porter and countered with several quick combinations of his own. Granados, who landed just 24 prósent af heildar kýla hans, disagreed with the judges’ scorecard.
“I thought that I was controlling the fight and keeping up with him the whole time,” Granados told Jim Gray. “He was just trying to use his normal tricks. I rocked him multiple times and he never had me in any trouble.
“He’s a brute. I thought the referee [Gary Rosato] did a good job breaking up the fight at the right times. It was rough but I definitely thought I did better than the scorecards said.”
Í opnun lota á útsending, unbeaten top contender Sergey Lipinets (13-0, 10 Kos) earned the vacant IBF Junior Welterweight World Championship with a unanimous decision victory over Japanese veteran Akihiro Kondo (29-7-1, 16 Kos). The judges scored the fight118-110, 117-111 og 117-111.
The back-and-forth 12-round world championship fight saw Lipinets control the early rounds with a diversified, creative attack targeting Kondo’s body. An accidental clash of heads in the sixth round, which opened up a deep cut on the forehead of Lipinets, altered the momentum of the fight as Kondo gained confidence and was able to land some powerful punches to the head and body of Lipinets. The 28-year old Lipinets, who earned the title in just his 13th professional fight, was able to regain control in the later rounds to earn the unanimous win.
“I think the scorecards were accurate but it was a good fight,” said Lipinets. “The head-butt really impaired my vision and it led to me walking into some stupid shots.
“I’m happy with my performance. I’m just going to keep getting better from here. I’m ready to take any on challenge thrown my way.”
Kondo, who was fighting for the first time in the United States, proved a worthy opponent on the night. “It was a fair decision,” said Kondo, through a translater. “He hit me with a lot of hard punches and I felt like I needed at least a knockdown in the last round.
“I made up my mind that I wasn’t going to show any pain or fear from his punches. I was determined to keep fighting all night.”
