Here is what the press conference participants had to say Sunday:

Manny Pacquiao

“There were a lot of opportunities for me to pick an easier fight than this. But I picked Errol Spence Jr. because I want a real fight and a great fight for the fans. I’m a fighter and boxing is my passion.

“Errol Spence Jr. is aggressive, young and undefeated. He’s dedicated to his career. This is definitely not an easy opponent. This is the kind of opponent you can never underestimate.

“It’s been a long time since I fought a southpaw opponent. We had to change some of our strategy compared to previous fights and we’ll throw some different combinations.

“I don’t think Errol needs advice from Floyd Mayweather. I believe that Errol is a better fighter than Mayweather. Errol can teach Floyd how to fight toe-to-toe.

“I don’t want to be overconfident, because Errol is too good of an opponent. His determination and passion for the sport is always there. When I say I’m going to do something, it’s real and from the heart, it’s not to impress anybody.

“I had started training in the last week of May in the Philippines. So when I got here to Los Angeles, I was just continuing what I was doing. It’s good for me to have the rest that I’ve had the last two years. I’ve been boxing since I was 12 years old until now. When I went back to training, I was still hungry and dedicated.

“I won’t predict another first round knockdown like I had against Thurman. I’m focusing my mind, body and spirit on winning the fight. That’s the only goal.
“This is one of the biggest challenges in my career. I can’t say it’s the biggest, because I’ve been fighting the best fighters in the world for years. But he’s right up there with anyone I’ve faced.

“I’ve been boxing for more than 25 careers as a pro. I think that I’ve seen every kind of style that’s out there.

“This is a one of a kind and prodigious fight. There’s going to be a lot of action in the ring. I’m so thankful for everyone who supports me and I’m happy to be in this position again fighting one of the best fighters in the world.”

ERROL SPENCE JR.

“This is a great opportunity. Coming off of my accident I went right to fighting Danny Garcia and now Pacquiao. A lot of people were in the Pacquiao sweepstakes. When I got the call about this fight, I agreed right away and didn’t give it a second thought.

“There aren’t that many southpaws in boxing, so you don’t usually spar that many. We’ve got a lot of guys in camp now who can fight that left-handed style. Obviously I can’t find someone who fights exactly like Manny, but you can find guys who can mimic the tempo and pace. So that’s who we’ve been working with.

“You can see that Manny is still an explosive fighter with great speed. We’ve been putting together a game plan and we’ve been working on implementing it. Come August 21, you’ll see it in the ring.

“Manny can lull you to sleep giving you compliments. Mais une fois que la cloche sonne, he’s going to jump all over you.

“My chin since the accident has been tested in sparring and in the Danny Garcia fight. I imagine Manny is going to try to come in and test it as well.

“Just because he’s 42-years-old I don’t think it’s going to hurt him in training. He’s not blowing up in weight between fights and he’s not distracted. That’s why he’s been the same Manny Pacquiao for decades. I’m looking forward to the same Pacquiao who fought Keith Thurman and before that.

“Manny has a lot of tendencies, of course you’re going to see some things over the span of his whole career. When it’s time to buckle down, you know he’s the guy who’s going to fight. It can be a pro or a con, but he’s going to make it a fan-friendly fight.

“I don’t see myself ever getting knocked out. I just don’t see it. We’re going to be mindful that he has power. He knocked down Thurman and hurt him with a body shot. We’ll keep that in mind. But I’m not thinking about if he can knock me out.

“I have the ability to finish Pacquiao. Pour moi, si, I’m focused on winning the fight. If you rush and go for the knockout, you either look sloppy or something goes wrong. I have to fight my fight and at my pace. Si le coup de grâce vient, I’ll go for it.

“This is going to be a great fight. Pacquiao is going to bring it like he always does, but I’m definitely going to come through with the victory.”

Mason Menard training hard for Haney showdown

Laisser un commentaire

Beverly Hills, Californie. (Avril 25,2018) – léger contender Mason Menard (33-2, 24 KOs) is training very hard for his upcoming battle with undefeated Devin Haney (18-0, 12 KOs) that will headline a ShoBox: La Nouvelle Génération carte, en direct sur Showtime (10 PM ET / PT) vendredi, May 11th at The 2300 Arena à Philadelphie.

 

 

 

 

Menard has set up training camp in Dallas, Texas for this important battle, which is now for the USBA Lightweight title.

 

 

 

“Training Camp is Dallas is going great. I’m feeling comfortable with my new team around me, and being around elite guys in the gym like Errol Spence, Jermell Charlo, Rob Brant and Cem Kilic has made me a better fighter,” said Menard. “My only real loss was to world champion Ray Beltran. May 11th can’t come soon enough because I am ready to show the boxing world that Devin Haney is taking too big of a step up, and I am back.”

 

 

 

This will be the first bout with new Manager, Shane Shapiro of No Limit Mindset Management.

 

 

 

 

“I am excited for Mason’s return to the ring. With a new management team around him, a repaired shoulder, an elite trainer and quality sparring partners, fight fans will see an improved Mason Menard on May 11th,” said Shapiro, CEO of No Limit Mindset. “I truly believe that being in the gym with guys like Errol Spence and Jermell Charlo for entire camp will bring out the best in Mason. Devin Haney is a great fighter, and has a lot of hype around him, but come fight night, he will realize that he took too big of a step up in opposition.”

 

 

 

 

Menard is promoted by Greg Cohen Promotions.

NEW YORK (Mai 25, 2017) – SHOWTIME Sports will offer a fully-produced Facebook and YouTube live stream of George Groves vs. Fedor Chudinov Super Middleweight World Championship bout this Saturday, Mai 27 from Sheffield, Angleterre. Groves vs. Chudinov will serve as a prelude to the long-awaited SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® main event—the welterweight championship bout between British World Champion Kell Brook and undefeated American challenger Errol Spence Jr., which will air live on SHOWTIME at 5:15 p.m. ET/2:15 p.m. PT.

Live coverage of Groves vs. Chudinov will be provided by Sky Sports Box Office with sportscasters Adam Smith and Carl Froch and will begin at approximately 4:30 p.m. ET/1:30 p.m. PT exclusively in the U.S. sur SHOWTIME Sports Facebookpage and the SHOWTIME Sports YouTube canal. Fans can follow all SHOWTIME Sports social accounts (SHOsports) Samedi afternoon for the precise start time to Groves vs. Chudinov following undercard action from Bramall Lane stadium in Sheffield, Angleterre. These platforms will be geo-blocked for U.S. seulement.

“When we saw the opportunity to deliver this great super middleweight championship fight to the U.S. public, we jumped at it,” said Executive Vice President and General Manager of SHOWTIME Sports, Stephen Espinoza. “We thank Matchroom Sport for making it possible for us to carry this bonus coverage to the U.S. Doing so compliments our robust digital and social media content plan serving boxing fans online and attracting new ones. This further demonstrates our unrivaled commitment to the sport. No one is making a more significant and impactful contribution to boxing’s momentum than SHOWTIME.”

Former three-time title challenger Groves and former champ Chudinov (14-1, 10 KOs) will meet for the vacant WBA Super Middleweight World Championship in a matchup of the WBA’s No. 1 et n. 2 challengers in a co-featured bout at Bramall Lane.

Groves (25-3, 18 KOs) has won four straight since teaming up with 2016 Trainer of the Year Shane McGuigan following a close split-decision loss to then-WBC Champion Badou Jack in 2015. The only other blemishes on his record came in title challenges to long-time 168-pound champ Carl Froch.

“I believe this is the best opportunity for me to achieve my dream and become world champion,” Groves said earlier this week. “Time is on my side. I had a good year last year, and I’m in a good place. I’ve put in the work, et maintenant, I need to make this count.

“Everything that’s happened in the past has just made me more determined. I know the pressure is on, and I can’t afford to make any more mistakes. This might be my best chance to win a world title, but it could also be my last.”

Chudinov (14-1, 10 KOs) originally won the WBA Super Middleweight Title with a split-decision victory over Felix Sturm in 2015 and made one successful defense before losing via controversial majority decision in a rematch with Sturm in 2016. Sturm later vacated the belt due to injury, opening up the opportunity for Chudinov to win back his title ce samedi against Groves. Chudinov is ranked No. 1 by the WBA while Groves is ranked No. 2.

SHEFFIELD (Mai 24) – Kell Brook will make his fourth IBF Welterweight World Title defense against U.S. star Errol Spence Jr. at Bramall Lane in Sheffield, England this samedi mai 27, en direct sur Showtime (5:15 p.m. ET/2:15 p.m. PT).

 

Ruisseau (36-1, 25 KOs) and mandatory challenger Spence, (21-0, 18 KOs), clash on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING in one of the biggest fights in the 147-pound division, and the elite pairing are promising to deliver an electric night of action.

 

Both fighters participated in a public media workout today, Mercredi, at Peace Gardens in Sheffield, Angleterre. Below is what they had to say:

 

KELL BROOK

“We are going to rock Sheffield Samedi nuit. Je suis prêt, I’m pumped, Je ne peux pas attendre.

 

“There is a lot of pressure but I always perform better under pressure. I’m meant to be on the big stage, I’m ready for the pressure and to see the bright lights.

 

"[Errol Spence] is a serious dude from America, he’s a young hungry lion, but he’s not beaten anyone like me. I’m a champion and I’ve been a champion. I’m defending. I know both sides of the coin, I’ve prepared very well.

 

“I’m ready for a war. And that’s what you’re going to see – a war Samedi nuit. There are going to be two winners Samedi nuit: that is going to be myself and everyone watching.

 

“There’s no way he can beat me. I’m a man possessed and I have a serious job to do. This is my night to shine.

 

“I love it [being the underdog]. I was born for it. People don’t have me winning this fight, but that just gives me the extra energy I need to go out and prove them all wrong.

 

“This guy is a talented guy, but he’s never been tested. He’s never been in with someone who is so determined like me. Who’s bigger, fort, who has all this energy, who’s meant for this game, who’s meant to be a winner. He hasn’t been in with someone with that mindset, and that’s what I’m coming to bring Samedi.

 

“All the hard work has been done. The talking will stop; we’re ready to let some fireworks fly now.

 

“I can see us both maybe hitting the canvas. You’re going to be on the edge of your seat from round one. He’s not going to take a backwards step, and I’m not [non plus]. All I can say is it’s going to be a thriller.

 

“I’ve arrived. Il est un rêve devenu réalité. It’s going to be so perfect for me that night to walk out and just see everyone. The electricity is going to be phenomenal.”

 

ERROL SPENCE JR.

 

“This is my time, this is my era. C'est mon temps de briller. This is my time to get the belts, this is my time to unify and become the undisputed welterweight champion of the world. This is just another stepping stone to get to where I want to be.

 

«Je suis 100 pour cent préparé, Je suis 100 percent focused, and I’m 100 percent ready to give the fans what they want, which is a real great fight.

 

“I can’t let the fans get to me. I’m not worried about him having his hometown fans. Eventually everyone will be my fans by the end of the night.

 

“I don’t feel the pressure at all. I feel like there is more pressure on him because he’s fighting at home. Of course there’s pressure on me to win, but I welcome that pressure. It’s going to do nothing but motivate me, make me more hungry and make we want to win even more.

 

“You just have to have that ‘it’ factor, and I think I have it. I’m not worried about the crowd, I’m not worried about the boos or anything like that.

 

“It’s a good step-up. Kell Brook is a good fighter, he has great skills. I welcome this step-up – I’ve been asking for it for a long time and I’m finally getting my opportunity.

 

“My confidence comes from my hard work. I know the hours and time that I put in the gym.”

 

“This is an ideal situation. I would be disappointed if I was fighting someone else because he vacated. Je suis un vrai combattant, Je veux me battre le meilleur, I want to fight the champion and earn it the right way. I can’t wait to prove I am one of the best fighters in the welterweight division.

 

“I’ve been on the USA team for a long time. Comme un amateur, representing U.S. in the Olympics and as a pro having this USA patch on me and fighting for my country. Je ressens Samedi is kind of like a USA vs UK battle. And U.S.A. is going to win.”

COURANT & LES ANCIENS CHAMPIONS DES POIDS MOYENS PESENT SUR KELL BROOK vs. CHAMPIONNAT DU MONDE ERROL SPENCE IBF 147 LIVRES CE SAMEDI EN DIRECT SUR SHOWTIME®

Laisser un commentaire

 

Temple de la renommée Sugar Ray Leonard, Keith Thurman, Danny Garcia, Shawn Porter & Discutez de la dernière série de blockbusters poids welter

 

Showtime Championship Boxing® Vit à 5:15 p.m. ET/2:15 p.m. PT de Bramall Lane à Sheffield, Angleterre

 

NEW YORK (Mai 23, 2017) – Le champion du monde poids welter IBF Kell Brook et l'étoile montante invaincue Errol Spence s'affrontent ce samedi en direct sur Showtime (5:15 p.m. ET/2:15 p.m. PT) dans le dernier d'une série d'affrontements significatifs de poids welter entre les meilleurs combattants de l'une des divisions les plus profondes de la boxe.

 

Six des huit meilleurs poids welters au monde* auront combattu au cours des cinq premiers mois de 2017 – le tout sur SHOWTIME ou CBS – alors qu'un tournoi de facto se poursuit dans la classe des 147 livres pour déterminer le No. 1 combattant dans une division longtemps contrôlée par le retraité Floyd Mayweather.

*Source: Classements transnationaux de boxe

 

Le champion du monde poids welter WBA et WBC, Keith Thurman, a unifié les titres sur Mars 4 avec une victoire par décision partagée sur Danny Garcia dans un rare affrontement de champions invaincus. Lamont Peterson a remporté le titre secondaire WBA Regular le Février. 18, et Avril 22 Shawn Porter a éliminé Andre Berto pour devenir le challenger obligatoire de la ceinture WBC de Thurman. Le champion poids welter restant, Manny Pacquiao, est prêt à défendre son titre WBO contre Jeff Horn le Juillet 2.

 

C'est maintenant au tour de Brook et Spence d'occuper le devant de la scène dans la division glamour de la boxe.

 

Ce samedi à Sheffield, Angleterre, Ruisseau (36-1, 25 KOs) fera la quatrième défense de la ceinture IBF qu'il a remportée par décision majoritaire sur Porter en 2014. Le joueur de 31 ans, qui n'a jamais été renversé, sera le favori de la ville natale devant ce qui devrait être plus de 25 000 fans lors du premier combat pour le titre mondial en 162 ans d'histoire de Bramall Lane.

 

Spence, 27 ans (21-0, 18 KOs) a longtemps été considéré comme l’un des espoirs les plus prisés de la boxe. Le non de l'IBF. 1 a éliminé huit adversaires consécutifs et s'est amélioré à mesure que son niveau d'opposition augmentait - ses six derniers adversaires détenaient un record combiné impressionnant de 151 gagne contre seulement huit défaites. Le résident de Dallas voyage à l'étranger pour cette opportunité de titre tant attendue alors qu'il tente de devenir le premier Américain à détrôner un Anglais sur le sol britannique en près d'une décennie.**

 

Avec Spence et Brook affirmant leur intention d'unifier la division après Mai 27, voir ci-dessous ce que le légendaire Temple de la renommée Sugar Ray Leonard et les meilleurs poids welters actuels ont à dire à propos de Samedi Match pour le titre IBF.

 

SUGAR RAY LEONARD – Ancien champion du monde poids welter incontesté

“Je suis vraiment excité par ce combat en particulier, principalement parce que les deux combattants doivent être sur leur A-game. Je sais que l'on parle de la chirurgie oculaire de Kell comme d'un problème psychologique, mais par expérience personnelle, je ne vois pas que ce soit le cas. Je n'ai jamais pensé à mon œil une fois que le médecin m'a donné le feu vert.

 

"Pour me demander qui va gagner ce combat, J'ai mon préféré dans Errol Spence. Mais, en fonction de l'artillerie physique de chaque combattant, un coup de poing peut renverser la vapeur. Cela étant dit, Je vais m'asseoir et regarder une bonne soirée de boxe.

 

KEITH THURMAN – WBA unifiée & Champion du monde poids welters WBC

"C'est un combat intéressant. Je n'ai pas trop suivi Kell, mais j'ai évidemment vu Errol combattre aux États-Unis. Errol est un dur, jeune combattant qui vient juste d'entrer dans l'œil du public, et Kell a évidemment la force de la foule britannique de son côté.

 

«Ce devrait être un combat difficile qui témoigne vraiment de la force de la division des poids welters. Les deux combattants sont des hommes que je serais ouvert au combat alors que je continue à unifier la division dans 2018. En tant que fan de combat, Voyons ce qui est "spécial" à propos de Kell Brook, et nous verrons si Errol Spence peut nous montrer qu'il est "La Vérité". Ce devrait être un grand combat et je regarderai.

 

DANNY GARCIA – Ancien champion du monde poids welters

“Je pense que c'est un 50/50 lutte. Je pense que la personne avec le meilleur plan de jeu va gagner. Il y a beaucoup de pression pour aller dans le jardin de quelqu'un comme le fait Spence, et il n'a jamais affronté un combattant à son apogée auparavant comme Brook. C'est définitivement un test pour lui et un grand pas en avant dans la compétition. S'il est prêt, Il peut le faire. Il doit juste y aller et rester concentré.

 

“La division poids welter est la meilleure division de boxe. J'ai toujours l'impression d'être l'un des meilleurs poids welters au monde, même si j'ai échoué. Je n'ai jamais pensé que je dirais qu'une défaite me rendrait plus fort parce que je ne me voyais pas perdre. Je veux récupérer mes titres et être considéré comme le meilleur de la meilleure division.”

 

SHAWN PORTER - Ancien champion poids welter & WBC actuel Non. 1 Concurrent

"Je suis content qu'Errol obtienne sa chance pour le titre, et je suis content qu'il aille en Angleterre pour ça. Je tire évidemment pour l'Américain. Errol est un athlète phénoménal et un grand boxeur. Je pense qu'il est prêt à montrer quelque chose au monde, mais Kell est là-haut dans ce haut niveau de poids welters. Les gens qui écoutent devraient être ravis. Je sais que j'ai hâte.

 

"La division des poids welters est géniale, de haut en bas. Nous sommes là où nous devons être et devrions être. Le retour de la boxe vers les masses avec PBC est venu au moment idéal pour moi et le reste des meilleurs poids welters. Nous sommes tellement nombreux à pouvoir remporter un titre en ce moment. »

 

LAMONT PETERSON – WBA (Ordinaire) Champion du monde des poids mi-moyens

« Ça va être un combat difficile, mais je pense qu'Errol devrait gagner. Au moins je tire pour qu'Errol gagne. Il doit surmonter l'idée qu'il y aura probablement 30,000 les gens l'acclament, donc il doit montrer aux juges qu'il mérite de gagner.

 

« Brook est un bon combattant et va apporter son meilleur, mais je pense qu'Errol, à la fin, est le meilleur combattant. Mais il devra le prouver.

 

“La division des poids welters est l'une des meilleures de la boxe en ce moment. Nous avons beaucoup de bons combattants à leur apogée, ce qui rend la division forte. Et les gars sont prêts à se battre. Nous voyons le genre de combats que les fans veulent voir. Si cela continue, cela pourrait ramener la boxe là où elle était à l'époque où Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns et Marvin Hagler se sont tous battus. Donc c'est vraiment bon pour la boxe en ce moment.”

 

**Timothy Bradley a détrôné un autre natif de Sheffield, Junior Witter, en 2008 à Nottingham.

Video/Photo Credit: AFFICHER L'HEURE

Undefeated welterweight Errol Spence Jr. sat down with SHOWTIME Sports®reporter Mark Kriegel prior to his highly anticipated world championship match against Kell Brook Samedi, Mai 27 en direct sur Showtime® (5:15 p.m. ET/2:15 p.m. PT) from Bramall Lane in Sheffield. The interview is the latest in a reoccurring SHOWTIME Sports digital series, THE REVEAL with Mark Kriegel, featuring exclusive and in-depth interviews with boxing greats.

Le non de l'IBF. 1-ranked mandatory challenger at 147 livres, Spence opens up about his first knockout, injuring past sparring partners Adrien Broner and Charles Hatley, giving Floyd Mayweather a black eye and much more.

 

Below are bites from the interview:

 

KRIEGEL: That feeling when you knock someone out; it’s addictive is it not?

 

SPENCE JR.: “Who doesn’t love knockouts? That’s the ultimate way to win in boxing, by knockout.”

 

KRIEGEL: You’ve been the most talked-about talent in boxing for a good while. Pourquoi donc?

 

SPENCE JR: “I think it’s the way I fight, knocking people out and in the ring I’m passive-aggressive… I don’t come at people reckless, I take my time, I break my opponent down. I am the sweet science.”

 

KRIEGEL: Do you think this is the fight that announces Errol Spence?

 

SPENCE JR.: “I think so… I’m willing to prove to everybody that I am that guy”

All I’ve ever wanted to do is to give the fans the fights they want and they have it right here on Mai 27. I’m going to show the world that I’m the best welterweight on the planet and I’m going to do it right before my people’s eyes.”

Coming off the fight with GGG this is an extremely tough fight to come back to but I believe Kell Brook is the best welterweight in the world and he will have the chance to prove it on Mai 27.
