ERROL SPENCE JR.
“Questa lotta significa tutto per me. 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. Mi piace combattere. 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 PASQUA
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 Gennaio 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, Trainer di Spence
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 di Peterson
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, Presidente di DiBella Entertainment
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 il Sabato notte a 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 & Direttore Generale, 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 il Sabato.
This is a special fight. These are the best in the sport. They’re both top 10 ragazzi. 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 ragazzi. 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 & Divertimento
I’m really excited about Sabato notte. 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 il Sabato night at Barclays Center.

Anche in presenza alla allenamento era il fratello di Peterson, once-beaten contender Anthony Peterson, che gareggia in azione sul undercard Gennaio 20 evento.
Ecco ciò che i partecipanti di allenamento avevano da dire Giovedi:
Lamont Peterson
“Mi sento benissimo. Sono già vicino al peso. Sono felice e mangiare fino a cinque volte al giorno. Mi sento forte e sono pronto per questa lotta.
“Devo guardare a questo solo un altro grande battaglia come realmente. Quando sei in cima, si cerca di non fare troppo di ogni combattimento. Noi sappiamo cosa c'è in gioco. So che quando lo tengo semplice, in quel momento che mi esibisco meglio.
“In questo momento il mio corpo si sente meglio che mai. Sono confortevoli, con tutto che è andato su in campo e penso che si può vedere nel mio corpo.
“Ho sempre allenato duramente fin dal primo giorno mi è venuto qui come un bambino. Che è stato instillato in me fin da giovane età e mi ha portato tutta la mia carriera.
“Tutto quello che faccio è per D.C.. Sto cercando di ottenere quanto più il riconoscimento per questa zona il modo migliore che posso. Questo è quello che tutti si sforzano per in questa palestra. Questo è il più grande che è stato sul programma per un po 'e io sono pronto a portare a casa.
“E 'sempre più facile più combattimenti campionato Sono in. Ero in forma per tutti loro, ma ho sicuramente messo più pressione su me stesso quando ero giovane. Ho migliorato ogni volta e ora mi sento come se fossi davvero al posto perfetto nella mia carriera.”
ANTHONY PETERSON
“Devo fare una dichiarazione. Non ho mai sento a mio agio con una decisione. Penso che è una buona cosa perché devo essere speciale sotto le luci.
“Tutti sanno che mi piace andare al corpo. Sai che ho intenzione di farlo lavorare in modo da poter guardare fuori per me di rompere il mio avversario sul Gennaio 20.
“Sono stato sparring con una varietà di combattenti esperti nel corso dell'ultimo anno e mi hanno aiutato anche se non ho avuto una lotta. Ruggine anello è tutto mentale. E 'a voi per mettere il lavoro in.
“Non ho ottenuto le lotte che voglio, ma sarò sempre fedele al mio gioco e fedele al mio mestiere. So che se perseverare, le cose funzionino per me.
“So che io amo questo sport. So che alla fine sarò un campione del mondo. Io credo nel mio futuro e non vedo l'ora di grandi lotte.
“Mi ispira a guardare Lamont fare la sua cosa e avere successo. Ha intenzione di battere Errol Spence, anche se la gente non ci credono. Penso che stia andando a prendersi cura degli affari.”
Barry Hunter, Trainer di Peterson
“E 'stata una lunga fatica in campo per questi ragazzi. Quando ripenso a quanto tempo siamo stati in questo viaggio, Sono molto orgoglioso di loro. Li avevamo 9 e 10 la prima volta che è entrato in palestra.
“Non abbiamo il mostro di peso a che fare con la lotta al welter. Lamont è in un luogo ideale mentalmente e fisicamente. Non vedo l'ora di una lotta esplosiva.
“Quando si guarda la lotta Spence-Brook, presto Brook avuto un sacco di successo. Lungo il tratto Errol imposto la sua volontà e si è rotto verso il basso Brook. So Errol bene e l'ho allenato. Ha una grande forza di volontà. Non è grande in una zona, ma è bravo in un sacco di aree. Questo è un diverso tipo di ragazzo che sta di fronte. Cuore è qualcosa di Lamont è in nessun posto vicino a corto di. Penso che questo potrebbe cominciare tattico, e poi girare in una guerra.
“Il mio lavoro è quello di andare in là con parte di un piano, ma è sempre di regolazioni per noi. Qualunque sia Errol porta in tavola, faremo capirlo e mettere tutto in moto.
“Quest'ultima settimana è un sacco di piano di gioco e lavoro di preparazione mentale. Un sacco di combattenti non allenare la mente. Bisogna allenare la mente ancor più che il corpo. Dobbiamo essere pronti ad ogni scenario.
“Penso che se Anthony va lì e fa il suo lavoro ci sono alcuni titoli vacanti a 140-libbre e questa è una pista per noi. Vogliamo ottenere una cinghia intorno alla vita e noi affronteremo a chiunque di farlo.
“Lamont, insieme a Anthony, Gary Russell Jr., Jarrett Hurd e Gervonta Davis, sono stati tenendo premuto boxe in questo settore per un lungo periodo di tempo. Sarebbe enorme per portare a casa questo titolo. Ci sono un sacco di giovani Lamont Peterson in questo settore che vogliono raggiungere questo livello. Sarebbe un faro di luce splende e mostrare a queste persone la via.”

Ecco quello che i combattenti avevano da dire sulla loro gennaio 20 matchups e molto altro ancora:
ROBERT PASQUA (20-0, 14 KO) – Fare terza difesa del IBF leggero titolo mondiale
“Questa lotta può sicuramente dare il buon tono per me in 2018. Ho intenzione di essere fare una dichiarazione con questa lotta. I miei ultimi tre combattimenti che non hanno ottenuto un ko. Ho intenzione di essere dare i miei fans e appassionati di lotta un bello spettacolo.
“Ho intenzione di utilizzare la mia portata e la lunghezza e distruggere questo ragazzo dall'esterno. Tutta la mia carriera ho combattuto ragazzi più brevi. Ogni breve ragazzo non combatte lo stesso. Ma si ottiene sul ring e lo sente fuori ed effettuare le regolazioni.
“Non c'è nulla in particolare che devo preparare con Fortuna. Prendo ogni combattere la stessa. Ogni combattente combatte diverso in modo da ottenere in là, lui sentirsi fuori ed effettuare le regolazioni come si va avanti. Io non sono preoccupato per lui che è un mancino. Ho affrontato un sacco di mancini nella mia carriera e nei dilettanti. Questo è senza problemi a tutti.
“Penso che quello che mi fa il pugile più pericoloso in questa lotta sta avendo l'altezza che faccio e il potere di perforazione e la velocità e la mentalità pure. La mia mentalità è che non sto andando lì per giocare con lui. Sono pronto a distruggere.
“I miei obiettivi per 2018 sono per catturare più titoli e per ottenere attacchi di unificazione. Abbiamo avuto un paio di campioni nella classe di peso, ma sembra che nessuno è disposto a combattere gli altri campioni. Siamo disposti a fare qualsiasi cosa, combattere chi ha i titoli. Siamo disposti a catturare tutti quei titoli ogni volta che gli altri ragazzi sono disposti a firmare per i combattimenti.”
JAVIER FORTUNA (33-1-1, 23 KO) – L'ex Campione del Mondo Super Piuma
“La mia preparazione per questa lotta sta andando molto bene. Ho lavorato nella Repubblica Dominicana, ma sono tornato a Boston per completare la mia formazione. In questo momento siamo a 75% e in chiusura su 100%. Sarò completamente preparati quando è il momento di combattere. La mia preparazione e la mia strategia di me il ragazzo più pericoloso fanno.
“Vedo questo come nessun altro lotta che ho avuto prima, perché ogni avversario è diverso. Ognuno ha la propria nicchia a questo livello, qualcosa che funziona per loro. La sua nicchia è che è alto. Egli usa che a suo vantaggio. Ma non è niente che non riesco a superare. Ho combattuto ragazzi alti prima.
“Io preferisco i miei avversari di essere più alto. Esso svolge in quello che sono in grado di fare. Non ho mai avuto un problema con avversari più alti. Abner Cotto (5-10) è uno dei ragazzi alti che ho combattuto. Ho combattuto a Chicago e messo su una grande prestazione. (Fortuna ha segnato un 5th turno KO contro Cotto)
“Il mio obiettivo per il 2018 è quello di combattere tutti i migliori combattenti d'elite nella mia classe di peso, e sto cercando di diventare menzionato come uno dei migliori in questo sport. Ho molta voglia di vincere un altro titolo mondiale in una classe di peso diverso. Sarebbe il momento più grande finora della mia carriera di ottenere un altro titolo mondiale.”
MARCUS BROWNE (20-0, 15 KO) – Top 10 Classificato al 175 lbs. (WBC, WBO, WBA & IBF)
“Il mio avversario (Francy Ntetu, 17-1, 4 KO) si presenta come un bene durevole, tipo tosto. Vedo questa lotta essendo molto emozionante per i tifosi per tutto il tempo che dura. Ho visto un po 'di nastro adesivo su di lui. So che è sempre in perfetta forma, e ho sentito dire che è coerente nella sua performance sul ring. I just know I’m going to have to be sharp on Jan. 20.
“E 'sempre un onore per combattere qui a casa e al Barclays Center. E 'speciale per essere in grado di eseguire davanti a questi tifosi e non vedo l'ora di mettere su una buona prestazione che porta alla Spence vs. Peterson lotta.
“Questa lotta mi potrebbe mettere nella posizione che ho bisogno di essere a lottare per un titolo mondiale. Non può mancare in alcun modo. Devo venire fuori forti con una grande prestazione dall'inizio alla fine e non lasciare dubbi in là.
“Per 2018, Voglio diventare un campione del mondo. Sono determinato tomake accadere quest'anno. That vision starts on Jan. 20 at Barclays Center against Francy Ntetu.
FRANCY NTETU (17-1, 4 KO) – Combattuto David Benavidez al Barclays Center nel mese di giugno 2015
I know Marcus Browne is probably taking me lightly and thinks he will simply go through me. Mi auguro che sia il caso, perché sta andando essere uno shock per lui, i tifosi e la sua squadra quando prendo il suo posto in fila per un titolo. Voglio affrontare Eleider Álvarez nella nostra città natale di Montreal dopo che ottengo questa vittoria.
“La mia lotta precedente al Barclays Center contro l'attuale campione WBC David Benavidez era ovviamente una pessima decisione l'arbitro a fermare la lotta, soprattutto quando mi stavo vincendo il round e Benavidez stava rallentando. Mi è stato sempre più forte, mentre era sempre più debole.
“Non sono mai stato male e mai stato fatto cadere in una lotta. Voglio Marcus per sfidare se stesso e vedere se può fare qualcosa che nessun altro ha. Sono entusiasta di essere in una lotta di questa portata. Marcus, è il momento per noi di dare ai fan quello che vogliono!”
ADAM Kownacka (16-0, 13 KO) – Originario di Polonia & combattimento da Brooklyn
“Questa lotta sta per essere un altro passo per diventare un campione. So che sto andando a lavorare molto duramente e dimostrare che sto continuando a costruire la mia vittoria contro Szpilka. Dal video che ho visto su Iago Kiladze (26-1, 18 KO), egli si muove un sacco, quindi dovrò essere bisogno di tagliare l'anello. Tutto ciò che porta al ring, Avrò una risposta per.
“Tre anni di fila ora ho combattuto nel mese di gennaio. Amo partendo l'anno forte. Mia moglie e io in realtà iniziato una tradizione del “Kownacki Family Run” a mezzanotte on New Year’s Eve. Dal momento che sto sempre preparando per una lotta intorno Capodanno, abbiamo pensato che tanto vale divertirsi mentre lavoriamo. Così, avremo alcuni amici escono e corriamo a poche miglia da noi per il quartiere durante i fuochi d'artificio. E 'divertente e aiuta a ottenere me pronto.
“In definitiva, Sto cercando di diventare il migliore nella divisione dei pesi massimi. L'obiettivo finale per quest'anno è quello di diventare un campione del mondo. Ma il primo passo sta prendendo molto sul serio Iago Kiladze. I can’t look past Gennaio 20 proprio adesso. Ho un avversario difficile che si sfideranno e mi fanno un combattente migliore nel lungo periodo.”
Iago Kiladze, Terzo incontro da quando passare a divisione dei pesi massimi (2-0, 2 KO)
I feel great and my training has been terrific. Il mio allenatore Freddie Roach è ora. I sparred con (IBF Cruiserweight Champion) Murat Gassiev tre volte di recente, che è grande preparazione per me. I believe I can knockout Kownacki but if I have to go the distance I’m prepared for that. In entrambi i casi, Sarò vittoriosa. Sono sento che io sono il combattente più abili e che mostrerà sul ring.
“Questa è una grande lotta per la mia carriera e un inizio formidabile per 2018. I know that if I win this fight I’ll be that much closer to a world title opportunity.
“Il mio obiettivo è quello di essere un campione del mondo alla fine del 2018. I want to continue improving and learning under Freddie and with his guidance I’m confident of success.

Ecco quello che i partecipanti alla conferenza stampa hanno dovuto dire Mercoledì:
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 goalto be the best fighter in the sport. But first I have a big test ahead of me Gennaio 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. E 'stata una esperienza di apprendimento. 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, Sono pronto ad andare. 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. Per la maggior parte, 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. Indipendentemente da tutto, I’m going to come to win.
DERRICK JAMES, Trainer di Spence
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 di Peterson
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 Gennaio 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, Presidente di DiBella Entertainment
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 Gennaio 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 Gennaio 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 & Direttore Generale, 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 lotte titolo mondiale. 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 anni. 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 Gennaio 20.”
BRETT Yormark, CEO of Brooklyn Sports & Divertimento
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 Gennaio 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,” ha detto Lou DiBella, Presidente di DiBella Entertainment. “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,” ha detto Tom Brown, Presidente di Promotions TGB. “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.
With his breakout performance against Kell Brook, Errol Spence established himself as one of top fighters in the welterweight division, if not in all of boxing,” ha detto Stephen Espinoza, Executive Vice President e General Manager, SHOWTIME Sports. “Never one to rest on his laurels, Errol continues to seek out the toughest available opponents, and he has found exactly that in Lamont Peterson. Lamont has never backed down from a challenge, and as a result, he has a wealth of experience with one of the strongest resumes in the division. This type of high profile, dangerous matchup is the quintessential SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING main event.
BROOKLYN BOXING enjoyed a banner year in 2017, and we are looking forward to carrying that momentum into 2018,” ha detto Brett Yormark, CEO of Brooklyn Sports & Divertimento. “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 KO), di Dallas, traveled to England to dethrone IBF 147-pound champion and hometown favorite Kell Brook on Maggio 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 turno TKO. La 2012 U.S. Olimpionico, Spence will enter the ring at Barclays Center for the third time after most recently stopping former champion Chris Algieri in an April 2016 evento principale. 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 KO), di Washington, In corrente continua, has won titles at 140 e 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 Febbraio. 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.
“Prima di tutto, I’m happy to be getting back in the ring,” Ha detto 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 (Novembre. 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 nel main event di Showtime Championship Boxing Sabato night on SHOWTIME from Barclays Center, la casa di Brooklyn boxe®.
Wilder (39-0, 38 KO) knocked Stiverne (25-3-1, 21 KO) to the ground three times before referee Arthur Mercante halted the bout at 2:59 della gara di apertura. 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 QUI.
So much frustration, it just seemed like my career, it’s been crazy. So many guys using PED’s”, Detto 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,” Detto 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,” Detto 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 KO) sconfitto Adrian Granados (18-6-2, 11 KO) tramite decisione unanime (segnato 117-111 da tutti e tre i giudici) 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.
Indossare, who injured his left hand in the sixth round, landed the sharper and more accurate punches throughout the fight, Compreso 40 per cento dei suoi pugni di potenza. Both fighters came out aggressive in the early rounds and exchanged several powerful blows.
He gave me a little trouble here and there,” disse 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 per cento dei suoi pugni totale, disagreed with the judgesscorecard.
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.
Nel match di apertura della trasmissione televisiva, unbeaten top contender Sergey Lipinets (13-0, 10 KO) earned the vacant IBF Junior Welterweight World Championship with a unanimous decision victory over Japanese veteran Akihiro Kondo (29-7-1, 16 KO). The judges scored the fight118-110, 117-111 e 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.
Sabato di trasmissione televisiva ripete su, Domenica, Novembre 5 a 9 a.m. ET/PT and Lunedi, Novembre 6 a 10 p.m. E/PT su Showtime Extreme e sarà disponibile su Showtime ON DEMAND® e SHOWTIME ANYTIME®.
