Upcoming world title challenger Eric “Outlaw’ Hunter is in London and feeling more motivated now than ever to take the title away from Welsh champion Lee Selby.
A proud Philadelphia fighter, Ovchi (21-3, 11 KOS) will face Selby (22-1, 8 KOS) in a 12-round battle thisShanba, Aprel 9, for Selby’s IBF World Featherweight Championship at The O2 in London.

“I wasn’t invited to the open workout yesterday,” said Hunter. “They had an open workout for Selby and didn’t have one for me. I’m kind of irritated about that. It’s not even fair to the fans, bilasiz? I’m sure that a lot of fans wanted to see who their man is fighting. I have no choice but to use it as fuel for even more motivation.”
The 29-year-old Hunter, in Europe for the first time, says he doesn’t mind travelling to win this championship. Aslida, despite being an underdog via the odds makers, Hunter says his victory won’t be an upset. “I won’t call it an upset when I win. I’m the better fighter. And it doesn’t bother me to come here.

Hunter says his victory will be the culmination of his lifelong dream. “It would mean everything. It would right my wrongs. All those who doubted me. All my failures and letdowns on the way here. It will turn all my negatives into positives.”

Meni shaxsan taniganlarning barchasi meni yumshoq odam deb aytishardi, meni jiddiy kesib o'tguncha, kabi, masalan, Agar Siz men ishlayotgan tergov hisobotining mavzusiga aylaning, yoki meni sudga berish $25 million. Ba'zan men shunga o'xshash narsalarni alomat sifatida qabul qilishim mumkin, mendan kimligingizni va yopiq eshiklar ortida nima qilganingizni bilishni istamasligingiz mumkin..
Bu hafta, meni Twitter-da kuzatib borishimga imkon bermaydigan ma'lum bir shaxs (https://twitter.com/danawhite) faqat bir narsani o'ylashim mumkin bo'lgan darajaga meni piss qildi. Men UFC jezi tomonidan har qanday yo'l bilan rasman qora ro'yxatga kiritilganim sababli, va hatto Fertittas va UFCning har qanday jangchisiga to'g'ridan-to'g'ri murojaat qilishimga qarshi cheklov buyrug'i berilgan, my best option is to publish a drastic diatribe here I am just going to call my “OPEN FU” to Dana “Effing” Oq rang.
I’m sure Mr. White will not take my calls or subject himself to a one on one interview with me. Shunday, I will have to settle for a written FU…and a multi-tiered and multi-purpose FU.
FU, Dana “Effing” Oq rang… for many, many reasons…too many for one small blog post to do justice, but let’s just say Most of all FU….
For what you THINK you know about Holly Holm…
Hey, Dana, you wanna talk about your “effing” reality show “Looking For a Fight????” I was actually looking for a fight when I watched that old reality “shit show” when you were supposed to box Tito Ortiz, but HE magically backed out at the last minute.
Hozir, you, DANA “EFFING” WHITE, are telling Holly Holm about a decision YOU think she didn’t think through enough??? Va endi siz Uatiesda g'azablangan odam kabi harakat qilyapsiz, chunki UFCda ikkita g'alabangiz bor 196 atrofida ishlash va qandaydir ma'noga ega bo'lishni aniqlash.
Boo “effing” hoo, do'stim.
Qanday qilib ba'zan jang biznesida narsalar rejalashtirilganidek ketmasligiga xush kelibsiz, noshukur zarba.
Xolli Xolm HER menejeriga ruxsat berganda UFC-ning Bantamweight chempioni bo'lgan (Dana emas “effing” Oq rang) uning nomidan Teyt jangini muhokama qilish, va u bilar edi (va uning uzoq yillik menejeri bilar edi, ham) u nima qilayotgani va nimani xohlaganligi. Va taxmin qiling “effing” nima, Dana? U jang qilmoqchi edi.
Kechirasiz, Dana “Effing” Oq rang, ammo Xolli o'tirishni xohlamadi “effing” Ronda Ruzining uni tugatishini kutish “effing” Yo'lni qayta tiklash!
Xolli ishga ketmoqchi edi… afsuski, u o'zining ofisiga kirib, uning kunlik ish yukini shunday qat'iyat bilan bajarishni nima ekanligini bilmaydigan boshliq uchun ishlashi kerak., sinf, qadr-qimmat va inoyat.
Va, ehtimol, u orqasiga sizdan ko'ra boshqacha qaraydi, Dana, yo'q bilan “effing” bu jangga mutlaqo borini bergani uchun va afsuski, u uch raundlik jangda g'alaba qozonishi mumkin bo'lgan jangda o'zining zaif tomoniga tushib qolgani aniq.. Ehtimol, agar siz jangchi bo'lsangiz, Dana, butun kontseptsiyani olishingiz mumkin. Ehtimol, bu holatda yutqazish uni yanada yaxshilaydi, kuchli, va martaba aralash jang san'ati ustasi sifatida ancha bardoshli. Agar u sizning ko'zingizda uni kamroq bozorga aylantirsa, kim uni tanqid qiladi? Siz aslida nimani bilasiz, har holda?
SIZGA YOQ, Dana “Effing” Oq rang, Xolli aslida Miesa Teytni hurmat qiladi va unga qarshi kurashish qiyin bo'ladi deb o'ylardi. Yeah, u yutqazdi, lekin la'nat, u bu qiyin bo'lganligi haqida juda to'g'ri edi. O'ylaymanki, jang ayol MMA tarixidagi eng buyuk janglardan biri bo'lib qoladi.
Hozir, nega siz o'zingizni ochmaysiz “effing” ko'zlar, Dana, yana jangni tomosha qiling, va o'zing bilan hech qachon jang qilmagan qafasda nima bo'lishi kerakligi haqida xayolotni tashla.
Siz hozirgina to'lagan chempioningiz borligidan minnatdor bo'ling $92,000 kurashda ish haqi (bonuslardan oldin) g'olib chiqishni xohlagan qizdan tashkilotingizning kamarini olish (va pullik $500,000 faqat u erda bo'lish uchun). Siz kutgan narsa bo'lmasligi mumkin, ammo bu haqda tashvishlansangiz, UFCni qurgan jangchilarga bunday dushman bo'lganingiz uchun nimani xohlasangiz arziydi..
Dana uchun bu mavzu bo'yicha mening eng katta savollarim: Nega bunaqa tarafkashlik qilasiz?, Miesaga kunning vaqtini berishga qiynalmaydigan qiyshiq eshak? Nega kreditni kerak bo'lgan joyda berolmaysiz…o'sha jangning ikkala tomonida ham? Nega yopolmaysiz “eff” Xolli yoki uning rahbariyati kutishi kerak bo'lgan yoki kutishi mumkin bo'lgan narsalar haqida?
Orqaga qarash uchun bu sizning joyingiz emas 20/20 o'yladim va Xolli va uning menejeri kabi harakat qilishim kerak edi, chunki siz bu bok kelayotganini ko'rmaganingizda, butun Nostradamusni bu jangga sarflashi kerak edi., yoki, siz gumbazli dimvit.
Fighters “effing” jang, Dana. Bu ular “effing” qil, buni bilishingiz kerak, chunki siz ilgari an bo'lganligingizga aminman “effing” o'zingizning MMA jangchilaringiz menejeri. Ha, bu juda ko'p oy oldin edi, ammo qanday qilib unutishingiz mumkin edi?
Jangchilar korporativ samolyotlarda eshaklariga o'tirishmaydi va kun bo'yi matbuot oldida shohsupalarda turishibdi. “effing” sizning tashkilotingiz ularning ko'pchiligiga to'laydigan kam ish haqi. Aksariyat jangchilar shunchaki axlat sodir bo'lishini yoki kimnidir kutishni kutish imkoniga ega emaslar “munosib” sizning ko'zingizda ular bilan kurashish va kurashish uchun etarli.
Ba'zi jangchilar bolalarini boqishlari kerak. Ularning barchasi to'lovlarni to'lashlari va o'quv-mashg'ulot yig'inlari bilan bog'liq barcha narsalar uchun to'lashlari kerak, kunlik yashash xarajatlari, sayohat va tibbiy sug'urta harajatlari har qanday jarohatni davolashga to'g'ri kelganda qoplanmaydi. Sizning shafqatsiz Reebok bitimi Ko'plab jangchilar uchun shunga o'xshash narsalarni to'lashga yordam beradigan boshqa tashqi homiylarni olish imkonsiz bo'lib qoldi, Dana.
Xarid qilish va qayerdan kelganingizni unutishga xush kelibsiz, Dana. Siz jangchilar haqida ko'proq g'amxo'rlik qilardingiz. Endi siz xuddi boshqa qafasda jang qilish kabi harakat qilyapsiz 9-5 ish. Emas. Uning “effing” qiyin ish.
Shunday, ha, Xolli Ruzining javob uchrashuviga tayyor bo'lishini kutish o'rniga kurashni tanladi. Va endi sizning fikringiz unga kerak deb o'ylaysiz, chunki hamma narsa siz uchun rejalashtirilganidek ishlamadi?
FU, Dana.
U sizdan ham yomonroq azob chekadi, va men bunga qodirman.
Oh…va…aytmoqchi…jangchilar UFC / Zuffa tashkilotining o'sishi va muvaffaqiyati uchun avvalgidan ko'ra ko'proq mas'uldirlar. Va bu haqiqiy gap, siz eshagingizni tayoq bilan boy kaltak, chunki siz hech qachon o'zingizning rasmiy kurashingiz uchun hayotingizda etarlicha yaxshi bo'lmagansiz.
Shunday, Xudo majmuasini engib, HAMMA jangchilaringizni hurmat qilishni o'rganing, nafaqat siz ko'rishni istaganlar g'alaba qozonishadi, chunki ular bilan yaxshiroq ishlash mumkin deb o'ylashingiz yoki ular tashkilotni yaxshi yo'nalishga olib boradi deb o'ylaysiz. Harakatlarni hurmat qiling, qurbonlik va azob BARCHA jangchilaringiz har kuni borgan joylariga borish uchun har kuni o'tishadi. Siz Mieshaning beliga bog'lab qo'ygan belbog 'topildi, va buni hech qachon o'ylamaysiz “effing” Xolli Xolmning Miesa Teyt bilan yuzma-yuz turishga jur'ati bor edi “Xato.”
U ichi bo'sh, Ayniqsa, MMA haqida gaplashish uchun sizga mikrofonni berish sportning eng katta xatosi edi deb o'ylardim, davr! O'zining tashkilotida sobiq chempionni qoziqni shu tarzda yiqitmoqchi bo'lgan har bir kishi ushbu tashkilot prezidenti sifatida tan olinishga loyiq emas..
Sizda aslida qanday jang qilish kerakligi haqida hech qanday ma'lumot yo'q, va sizning Xolli Xolmga bo'lgan tanqidingiz menga shuni aytadiki, siz uni Teyt bilan jang qilishga va Ronda uchun bo'sh yil kutmaslikka undagan fikrni hech qachon tushuna olmaysiz. “effing” Rousey sizning qimmatbaho shoularingizdan birida chiqishga tayyor.
Shunday, FU Dana Uayt sobiq chempioningizga u ahmoqdek munosabatda bo'lgani uchun u o'z karerasini qanday boshqarishni bilmaydigan ahmoqona munosabatda bo'lgani uchun, unga kal bosh. Xolli sizning maslahatingizsiz yaxshi, va u menejeriga ishonadi, bu sizga tanish bo'lmagan narsa bo'lishi mumkin, lekin boshqa odamlar uchun bu qonuniy odamlar bilan biznes qilish haqiqatdir.
FU, Dana sportning yomon elchisi bo'lgani uchun, qon to'kadigan jangchilarni hurmat qilmaslik (va ba'zan umrbod jarohatlar oladi) siz va sport uchun, va umuman boshqa jangchilar bilan raqobatlashadigan professional jangchi bo'lish uchun nima kerakligini tushunmaslik va umuman tushunmaslik…
Yodingizdami, boks bo‘yicha murabbiyingiz Boston bir marta qulog‘ingizga qattiq tarsaki tushirgani uchun past bokschi bo‘lishga rozi bo‘lgan kunlaringizni eslaysizmi?? Siz hayotingizda hech qachon raqobatbardosh jang o'tkazmagansiz, Dana “effing” Oq rang, va bu HUJJATLANGAN FAKT!
Kumush qoshiq bilan oziqlangan Fertittalar ochko'zligingizni engishga yordam berganidan oldingi kunlarga ham nazar tashlaganmisiz?, xudbin, Xudbin eshak RASMIY UFC MOUTHPIECE lavozimiga?
Bularni eslaysizmi “tukli” o'tib ketgan kunlar $40 millionlab Fertitta mablag'larini amalga oshirish uchun “Zuffa afsonasi” UFC brass uchun kredit da'vo qilib, sportni qonuniylashtirish va uni tartibga solish hammasi sizniki “effing” o'zlari? Go'yo MMAga ochko'z panjalaringizni botirmasdan oldin kashshof bo'lgan bironta ham FIGHTER yoki boshqa soha mutaxassislarining bunga aloqasi yo'qdek.?
Siz hozir boshqa joydasiz, Dana “effing” Oq rang, va bu xayolparast joy. Siz yashayotgan uzoq sayyoradagi kabi, odamlar sizga haqiqatan ham ishonishadi, halol, haqiqatan ham “effing” bo'lish ASLIDA nima ekanligini biling “effing” jangchi? Siz haqiqatan ham bu tuyg'uni qandaydir tarzda bilishingizga ishonasizmi??
Haqiqatan ham?
Bilasiz JANCH nima, qilmayapsizmi, Dana? Jangchi - bu boshqa odamga qarshi turishga jur'atiga ega bo'lgan yigit va qizlarni tanqid qilish o'rniga boshqa haqiqiy erkak yoki ayolga qarshi qurolsiz jangga kirishga jasoratga ega bo'lgan erkak yoki ayol. qabul qilingan maqsad bir-birini jismonan yo'q qilish ekanligini ichkilashtirish.
Jangchi, oddiyroq qilib aytganda, hisoblanadi “kurashayotgan kishi.” Va biriga aniqlik kiritaylik “effing” narsa, Dana “effing” Oq rang, Men jangchilarni bilaman, va SIZ jangchi emaslar.
Siz jangchiga o'xshamaysiz, Dana “effing” Oq rang, va siz hech qachon “effing” bo'ladi. Siz juda zaifsiz, ham jismonan, ham ruhiy jihatdan. Olti haftalik mashg'ulotdan o'tganingizni va keyin kimgadir qarshi qafasga kirib, uning eshagini tepganingizni ko'rmagunimizcha, biz bir la'natni tinglashimiz shart emas “mumkin edi,” “kerak,” yoki “bo'lardi” har qanday jangchining ishlashi yoki qaror qabul qilish jarayoni haqida nima deb o'ylayotganingiz haqida makkajo'xori og'zingizdan. Bu odamlar siz hech qachon o'zingiz qila olmaydigan narsani qilishga jasoratga ega, va siz buni hurmat qilishingiz kerak.
FU Dana White…Miesha Teyt va Neyt Diaz kabi haqiqiy jangchilarni tan olmagani uchun, ular nima bo'lishidan qat'iy nazar buni davom ettiradilar va HECH QACHON O'ZBEKISTON IQTISODIYoTINGIZNI QO'Yolmaydilar.….
Neyt Diaz Konor MakGregor bilan jang qilish uchun bir sababga ko'ra kuchaygan. Uning yo'qotadigan hech narsasi yo'q edi, va u bir oz qo'rqitmadi. U mashhur Fox Sports bilan televizorga chiqdi 1 O'sha yarim o'rta vazn toifasidagi jang oldidan Konor bilan bo'lingan ekranda va uning dushmani avvalroq bo'g'ilib qolganini kinoya qilgan edi., “ikki cho'loq tomonidan.” Diaz shuningdek, MakGregorning bo'g'ilib qolgan yo'qotishlarini hazil bilan qo'shish uchun mukammal instinktga ega edi., “bir hafta oldingi kabi.”
Diaz Konorni shapaloq urib, qafasda uning bo'yniga osib qo'yishidan ancha oldin uni bo'g'iq gaplar o'yinida mag'lub etgan.. O'sha freakshou jangi natijasida yaratilgan ommaviy axborot vositalari sizning kattaligingizning nazoratsiz yuksalishini to'xtatgan bo'lishi mumkin, qalin, olti boshli ajdaho chempioni, lekin bir vaqtning o'zida yangi yirtqich hayvonni yaratdi. Va u Reebok-dan nafratlanadi, qichishish, qasam ichish, Stokton shapaloq olayotgan ona-F$#qirol YAYVON, u nima qilayotgani yoki aytgani haqida boshqalar nima deb o'ylashiga ahamiyat bermaydi.
Siz Diaz va uning munosabati shunday deb o'ylashingiz mumkin “biznes uchun yomon,” lekin menimcha, uning g'alabasi siz UFCni boshqarayotgan beadab panklar bilan sodir bo'lishi mumkin bo'lgan eng yaxshi narsa edi.. Bu MMA olamini nazorat qilmasligingizni bir marta isbotlaydi.
Neyt Diaz uzoq vaqt davomida MMA kashshofi va yaxshi UFC askari bo'lganligi uchun hurmat va hurmatdan mahrum bo'ldi.. Achchiqlik uning ichida qaynadi va qaynadi, Men uning jangdan keyingi intervyularida u Konorni bo'g'ib qo'yganidan so'ng, irlandiyalik yigit ovozini bosganiga qadar har bir soniyasini yaxshi ko'rardim. “eff” tashqariga chiqdi va Dana Uaytni katta guruh a'zosidan ko'ra ko'proq o'lik dushmanga aylangan odamni tabriklash kerakligini o'ylab, hang-mang bo'lib qoldi. “jamoa.”
Nate va barcha aqldan ozganlarga ko'proq kuch, abraziv, Sizning yuzingizda Diaz akasi UFCda Dana bilan jang qiladi “effing” Uaytning o'ziga xos jasoratli va jasoratli nutqi bilan yorqin olov. Ular har doim aytishlari mumkin, “Men buni sizni ko'rib o'rgandim, Kal ota!”
Miesha Teytga kelsak, Rouseyga og'ir mag'lubiyatga uchraganidan so'ng o'zini ikki marta gilamdan chetlatib, endi chempion bo'lgani uchun haqiqiy hurmat va ehtiromga loyiqdir.. Teytga karerasini davom ettirgani va o'sha Rousey qo'lidan bir marta va umuman o'tib olishga tinimsiz e'tibor qaratgani uchun rahmat..
Garchi Miesha hech qachon Rousey topshirish dilemmasini hal qilmagan, UFCda to'langan dividendlar kamarida yana bir yorilish olish uchun har qanday holatda ham harakat qilish 196. Uning hech qachon to'xtamagan munosabati uni umr bo'yi imkoniyatga olib keldi, va u buni katta hajmda yozdi. Hozir, Dana, Siz aslida bu yosh xonimga uning ko'pchilik muxlislari uni uzoq vaqtdan beri qadrli bo'lganini aytganini to'lashingiz kerak.
Va endi siz noshukur hayotingizda bir marta Teytga ozgina hurmat va minnatdorchilik bilan munosabatda bo'lishingiz kerak., Dana “effing” Oq rang. Bilaman, bu yosh xonimga juda ko'p mehnat qilgani uchun minnatdorchilik bildirish sizni juda qiynaydi., chunki, ehtimol u o'tmishda sizni chinakam aqlsiz va hurmatsiz nayrang deb chaqirganida asabiylashdi.. U haq edi, va siz uning jang qilishda qanchalik zo'r ekanligi haqida noto'g'ri edingiz. Keyin yana, qafasda urishayotgan ayollar haqida ham NOG'OSI bo'lmaganmisiz, davr?
Shunday, siz jangchi bo'lishni xohlamaysiz, Janob. Oq rang? Keyin chetga o'ting va jangchi bo'lishni xohlaydigan odamlarga siz uchun jangga kirishiga ruxsat bering, shunda siz o'zingizning samolyotingizda dunyo bo'ylab sayohat qilishingiz va nima ekanligini bilgandek harakat qilishingiz mumkin. “eff” Siz mikrofon oldida turib, sportning haqiqiy sportchilari va ular aralash yakkakurashlarda tirikchilik qilish uchun nima qilayotgani haqida gapiryapsiz..
Dananing butun bu halokatda men uchun eng kuchli BS sifatida ajralib turadigan chizig'i shu:
“U keksa bokschi, u o'zini aqlli deb hisoblaydi, ammo aqlli emas,Uayt Freskes haqida aytdi [Xolm menejeri]. "Men Xolli uchun xafaman, chunki u nimani yo'qotganini biladimi yoki yo'qligini bilmayman."
Menda yana ikkitasi bor “effing” Dana sizga savollar “effing” Oq rang…
1.) Sizni haqiqatan ham har qanday narsada deb o'ylashga majbur qiladigan narsa “effing” Xolli Xolm boshqa kechada nima yo'qotganini HAM bilish yoki tushunish uchun pozitsiya? Chetga bir necha yomon poker qo'llari va hurmat tonna, Siz yo'qotgan yagona narsa bu sizning fikringizdir.
2.) Xolmning menejeri haqidagi iqtibosingiz sizning jirkanch xarakteringizni janobnikidan ko'ra yaxshiroq tasvirlamaydimi?. Fresk?
VA…Bularning barchasini o'qib bo'lgandan so'ng, har kimga HANIY Taqir ota bilan mol go'shti qilish uchun yana bir sabab kerak bo'ladi:
ANAHEIM, Calif. (Feb. 27, 2016) – Sher “Zilzila” Santa Cruz defended his WBA Featherweight World Championship in convincing fashionshanba kuni tun, knocking downKiko “Sensación” Martineztwice in the first round, then ending it on a barrage of punches as the fight was called at2:09in the fifth round in the main event of aKvplt_fan CHEMPIONATIDA BOKS doubleheader atHonda Center in Anaheim, Calif.

Fighting just 10 miles west of his hometown of La Habra and before 7,780 enthusiastic fans, the 27-year-old Santa Cruz (32-0-1, 18 KOS) continued to establish himself as the King of Southern California as he punished the game 29-year-old Martinez (35-7, 26 KOS) of Alicante, Valencia, Ispaniya, bilan 570 total punches in just five rounds.

“The fans love it when two fighters go toe-to-toe,” Santa Cruz told SHOWTIME’sJim Gray after the fight. “I wanted to give the fans a great fight. I knew I could hurt him with a right hand. He’s a fighter and when he’s knocked down, he’s going to come back. In the fifth round I knew I had to finish him off and I did.”
Santa Cruz continued, “We were going toe-to-toe from the beginning. He’s was throwing good punches I was throwing out good punches and the crowd was loving it. Then my dad told me to slow down and be smarter so we started boxing.”
Santa Cruz wasted no time getting the upper hand as the opening bell rung. He knocked Martinez out twice in the first round; the first just 23 seconds into the fight and the second on a devastating right hand at two minutes into the round prompting SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING play-by-play announcer Mauro Ranalloto tell expert analystAl Bernstein: “We may be able to get to Disneyland before the end of the night.”
Martinez fell into a groove in the third and fourth rounds, but got into trouble two minutes into the fifth round as Santa Cruz had him up against the ropes connecting on numerous body shots, uppercuts and combinations before referee Raul Caiz Sr. signaled the end of the fight for Santa Cruz’s second straight world title defense in Southern California.
Martinez said that Santa Cruz, “started to move a lot and he broke my strategy and he fought a great fight. The second round I was getting looser and I was starting to feel much better.
“He was like a bull coming forward really strong,” Santa Cruz added. “He has definitely been one of the strongest fighters I’ve been in the ring with yet.
“Towards the end I said, ‘this is it, this is my opportunity to take him down. If I don’t finish him right here, it’s going to make it a really tough fight.’ So I said I was going at it with my all and thankfully it turned out the way that it did.”
Santa Cruz, making his second defense after capturing the world title fromAbnur Maresback in August, said someday he wants to break the records for most punches thrown in a fight. “I wanted to throw as many punches as I can so the fans could get a good show.”
Santa Cruz is now eyeing a future potential matchup with IBF 122-pound world championCarl Frampton da 126 pounds orGary Russell. “I’m up for anyone,” dedi. “I want the rematch with (Abnur) Onalar. Since Frampton won, if he’s ready to go up in weight, I’m ready for him. I challenge him to a fight whenever he’s ready.”
In a rematch of the WBC Super Bantamweight World Title he lost last August, the new 122-pound champion Ruiz improved his record to 5-0 in rematches (besh knockouts bilan) as he delivered a stunning first-round knockout against Ceja, who injured his right ankle on a powerful clean right just seconds into the fight sending him to the canvas.

“I was very prepared to knock him out, but I was prepared to go 12 tur shu kechaalso if I had to,” said Ruiz, who was teary and emotional following the victory. “I was happy to knock him out in the first round. I’m looking for the best fighters and the best money out there.”
Said SHOWTIME analystPaulie Malignaggi: “I’ve never seen a first-round KO that soon in a fight of this much importance.” Added SHOWTIME’s Bernstein: “The right hand was the weapon of choice for Ruiz, and he got the job done. What a moment of redemption for Ruiz!”
Qosh, who beat Ruiz on a fifth-round knockout last August to win the world title, was hurt from the first series of Ruiz punches and never recovered in the intense first round.
Ceja was taken to nearby UC Irvine Hospital and diagnosed with a fractured right ankle.
“I saw that he got hurt with the first punch and I saw his leg wobbling and so I said, ‘Let’s finish’,” Ruiz dedi. “And I did in that round.”

LEO Santa CRUZ
“Headlining a televised card has been my childhood dream. I could have never imagined I was going to get this far. And Here I am, on my second main event, defending my title on a premium network. I’m so psyched. I cannot believe it.
“The first time I put the gloves on, I knew that I had found my craft, and I also knew that it was not going to be an easy road. I knew that I had to work hard to become a champion. Shunday, I trained the hardest and I fought the hardest, and with my father by my side I got here, where I’m at today. I owe him everything.
“I remember watching all the great Mexican Champions and day dreaming about being like them one day. It felt unreachable. I thought it was impossible to get where they were. But I worked hard, really hard from the beginning.
“The most important thing is that the fans leave happy and get their money’s worth. I’m glad that Kiko has come prepared because we’re ready for a great fight.
“People are saying that I should walk through Kiko Martinez, but I don’t listen to that. I look at Kiko the same way I look at any other opponent. When we step inside the ring, we are equals.
“At the end of the day, the winner will be the fighter who has prepared more and who has imposed his will on the other man.
KIKO MARTINEZ
“I have faced much stronger boxers than Leo and comeShanba, all of those who did bet on me for this fight, I am going to make you a lot of money.
“I am excited and proud to know that Sergio Martinez will be presentshanba kunisupporting me. His guidance and presence
“My trainer could not be here, but we have not taken one day off in training camp and I have been pushed to my limit to prepare me for this fight. I’m thankful to Robert Garcia for being in my cornershanba kuni.
“I know this is a great opportunity to fight Leo Santa Cruz and I will make the most of it. I’m going to leave everything inside the ring so that the fight fans enjoy a great championship matchup.
“I feel that Leo Santa Cruz is a great fighter, he has beat some incredible fighters. He’s a great athlete and boxer. Sometimes people will try to make him out to be more than he actually is but they are mistaken with what they see in me. I am not to be mistaken as the underdog here.
JULIO CEJA
“As Hugo mentioned, we have both trained even harder than last time and we’re more prepared physically and mentally.
“I’m going to give everybody a great fight just like last time. I’m walking into the ring knowing my opponent very well. We’ve been to war. I know what to expect from him. I know about his punch and I know how to counter it.
“I’m going to be alert and ready. I’ll be a little more intelligent, because I know that he’s coming well prepared and he’s coming for the world title, but he’s not going to get it.
“There are going to be no surprises in this fight. Hugo Ruiz said that he was training harder this time. But I am too. I’ve trained very hard.
“The key for me to win this fight is to keep my hands up and to not give him one inch. I cannot be careless. I’ll be strategic and use my wisdom. I cannot come in with my hands down because I know I’ll pay for it. But nothing to worry about, we have rectified those issues in training camp. Men tayyorman. He’s not taking my belt away from me.
“I’m glad that he says he is better prepared this time because I am better than ever. My team has been instrumental in preparing me for this matchup.
“The winner will be the man who is more prepared physically and mentally. But the real winner will be the fans at Honda Center because this is an amazing card and we’re going to put on an amazing fight.”
Hugo RUIZ
“If you liked the first fight between us, then you are going to love this one.
“I’m excited to be fighting once again in Southern California. I’ve trained very hard and I have prepared myself for this world title opportunity.
“I’m looking forward to putting on a grand show for all my fansshanba kuni Kechasi. "
Xose Santa CRUZ, Santa Cruz’ Father & Murabbiy
“I hear Kiko has a great trainer on his corner. Robert Garcia is really good, but I have news for Kiko, his trainer is not going to fight for him.
“Once a fighter steps into the ring, he’s alone in there. There are no trainers and no great promoters that can fight for him.”
“Kiko speaks about this prestigious trainer and thinks that by mentioning him, he is going to intimidate us. He has something else coming. The trainer won’t fight for Kiko. Roberto Garcia has trained my son and knows Leo very well but that does not give Kiko the upper hand.”
Tom Brown, Head of TGB Promotions
“Southern California favorite Leo Santa Cruz returns to bring his action style to the ring. He will be opposed by a tough former world champion in Kiko Martinez who is sure to make this a tremendous fight.
“The first fight between Ceja and Ruiz was a true back and forth war. Should this pick up right where it left off, we will have a great fight to start the telecast.
“I’m looking forward to a great nightshanba kuninight in front of the fantastic Southern California boxing fans.”
TIM RYAN, BOSH DIREKTOR & President of Honda Center

CHRIS DEBLASIO, Vitse Prezident, Sports Communication Showtime Networks

I think everyone knows that the lighter weight classes, especially at the championship level, produce exciting fights. My favorite examples include the epic series between Israel Vazquez and Rafael Marquez, which are available on SHOWTIME platforms and should wet your appetite for what we will seeshanba kuni Kechasi.

Santa Cruz worked out alongside his father and trainer, Jose Santa Cruz, for the media in attendance and spoke about his upcoming bout and more. The workout also featured a surprise performance fromMartin Castilloand a five-piece band that included a tuba and an accordion. Santa Cruz jumped rope and went through drills while traditional Mexican folk music called Corrido filled the Southern California gym.
Here is what Santa Cruz and his father had to say Thursday:
LEO Santa CRUZ
“I always train to make a statement. I want to go out there and show everyone that I’m really good and I deserve to be considered one of the best.
“I fight for my family. Since I was small, this is what I’ve wanted to do to help my family. I wanted to work hard and give my family a better future.
“Martinez is a strong fighter who comes forward and always puts pressure on you. He never backs down and always comes to fight. That’s what we like about this matchup — it makes for a more intense fight.
“We’re going to give the fans an entertaining show. The fans are the ones who are going to win at the end of the night. I’m going to go out there and try to knock him out by the end of the third round.
“I think he’s going to be the aggressor because he’s shorter and has to fight that way. But I’m going to go forward and be the aggressor too. If that’s not working, I’ll box him. We’re going to do what we need to do to win the fight.
“I see Carl Frampton vs. Scott Quigg as a 50-50 jang. It’s a tough fight for both of them. I think whoever catches the other guy first will get the victory. They both can hit and they both have great skills. It could go either way.
“It’s a very interesting fight between Frampton and Quigg. They’ve both been possible opponents for me and I hope that I do well that night and face the winner of that fight. Men u kim qiziqtirmaydi, I want to fight them.
“I’m willing to fight whoever. I want the winner of Frampton-Quigg. If not then Lee Selby, Gary Russell Jr., Jesus Cuellar or anyone in the division. Hopefully next it will be one of those fighters.
“My fighting style is to always go forward and throw a lot of punches. I just want to entertain the fans. I fight for them and I try to send them home happy. I want to go in there and fight in a war.
“I’m going to fight all of the top guys. I’m still young and I know if I keep working hard and taking care of the guy in front of me, I’ll get all of those fights.
“We’re working on our distance and learning new things every day in camp. I don’t want to change too much, since I’m undefeated. I’m going to be prepared mentally and physically to get the win.
“We’re working hard all the time. We know what we have to do in the ring to win the fight. My last fight our strategy was to brawl but we adjusted it and moved more and we were able to get the victory.
On his recent foray into boxing promotion: “Being a promoter is difficult. It’s very hard. You’re always busy, so right now I’m focused on my boxing career. I’m letting my brothers and my family take care of it now. I’m not there 100 percent yet but I like to give my opinion. It’s something I’d like to do after I retire.”
Xose Santa CRUZ
“Leo is very well prepared as he always is. Biz har doim o'rgatish 100 percent and we are ready.
“The team is ready to fight. We have one week left to rest and put some finishing touches on this camp.
“We’re going to fight Martinez with our style. We’re going to do whatever we need to do to win the fight. Leo is going to take the fight to him and try to counteract whatever style Martinez brings.
“Bu yaxshi jang bo'lishi yog'adiganga. Whichever style Martinez brings, we’re going to out-maneuver him and make it a good fight. I see Leo winning a decision at least if not a knockout.”

ANAHEIM, Calif. (Feb. 16, 2016) – Spain’sKiko “Sensación” Martinezis a soft-spoken, hard-hitting former IBF Super Bantamweight World Champion and a three-time European champion at 122 funt. He’s a come-forward, comes-to-win, aggressive-minded slugger who makes for exciting fights and has been in with excellent opposition.
The ultimate road warrior, the 5-foot-5, 29-year-old Martinez has fought more than one-third of his fights outside his native Spain, where he has tussled 26 marta. He’s also fought four times in Ireland, three times in England, three times in Northern Ireland and one time each in Japan, Argentina, France and South Africa.
So don’t expect Martinez (35-6, 26 KOS) to be in awe of the surroundings in his second start in the United States when he challenges unbeaten, defending featherweight world championLeo Santa Cruz (31-0-1, 17 KOS) bo'yichaShanba, Feb. 27, a asosiy voqea Kvplt_fan CHEMPIONATIDA BOKS Uch yashash NAMOYISH VAQTI (10 p.m. VA/7 p.m. PT) from Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif.
Martinez won his U.S. debut and the IBF 122-pound crown with a sixth-round TKO overJhonatan Romero Yanvar. 17, 2013. “That was a great night for me,’’ Martinez said. “I’m confident of another great performance on Feb. 27.''
A winner of three in a row in his homeland, including a fourth-round TKO overMiguel Gonzalez oxirgi Dec. 12, Martinez aims to make amends after losing three high-profile fights in recent years to super bantamweight world champions – twice toCarl Frampton(IBF) and once toScott QUIGG (WBA).
Martinez gets an opportunity against Santa Cruz in a fight he never saw coming.
“I’m thrilled to be fighting Leo Santa Cruz, but getting this fight was a total surprise because I already had a fight scheduled,’’ said Martinez, who trains at his friend and manager, former world super middleweight championSergio Martinez’ gym in Spain. “I had been scheduled to fight for the European title. When this opportunity came up, I decided to give up the European title to come to America.
“I was very happy and very emotional when I heard about this fight. It was one of the best days of my life when I agreed to fight Santa Cruz. Hozir, more boxing fans will get to see me. I will not take one step back. I will come forward the whole fight.
“I’m thankful to SHOWTIME and I’m excited for the challenge. It’s a huge fight in the United States and a great opportunity. Some people don’t think I can fight because I lost to those guys [Frampton and Quigg], but they are wrong. I am as determined as ever. I’m going to fight a great fight and come out with a victory.’’
While respectful of the champion, Martinez is no stranger to fighting on foreign soil and is poised to pull off a stunner.
“I will surprise many people who don’t believe in me,'', Dedi. “I’m working so hard for this fight. People doubting me has me even more motivated. They will see on Feb. 27 and everyone will change their minds.
“I love fighting in my opponent’s backyard. That is not a problem for me at all. People who know boxing know I will give everything to this sport. I want to give great shows and entertain people. I’m coming forward and throwing punches and I don’t give up.
“I’m going to give 100 percent and it’s going to be a tremendous fight. I have a ton of respect for Leo Santa Cruz. He’s a world champion and a great fighter who’s clearly one of the very best featherweights in the world and a Top 10 funt-uchun-funt qiruvchi. I am very conscious of that point.
“Leo and I are true warriors so this will be a brutal war. But I have what it takes. I’ve been working very hard with my longtime trainer, Gaby Sarmiento, and I will be victorious.’’
A lifelong resident of Spain, Martinez was born in Granada, Ispaniya, and resides in Alicante. He has two sisters and two brothers but is the only one in the family who boxes professionally. He turned to boxing as a young teenager.
“I started in boxing because when I was about 13 I was smaller and other kids bullied me all the time. So I began looking for a way to learn to defend myself,'', Dedi. “Once I decided to start boxing and dedicated myself to it I fell in love with the sport.’’
Amatör sifatida, Martinez went 47-2 and won a Spanish national amateur championship, but he had no international amateur experience. “I had a good amateur career but never thought about the Olympics,'', Dedi. “My mind was always on being a pro fighter.’’
A dangerous puncher who’s at his best when he pressures his opponents and wears them down, Martinez turned pro in June 2004. He was victorious in his initial 17 jang, winning all but three by knockout.
Martinez metSergio Martinez [no relation] about nine years ago. “I met Sergio in the gym in Spain that he used to train himself in and we became good friends. When I started boxing I looked up toJulio Sezar Chavesand I am now a big fan ofMarcos Maidana. I like to fight like him.
“But I’ve always had a special relationship with Sergio, who inspired me because he came from poverty like me. He has taught me so much. It’s like looking into a mirror because he knows where I came from. He’s taught me so much inside and outside the ring. We were very poor growing up and my father worked very hard.’’
G'olibona bo'lsa, Kiko Martinez says “I would like to stay at this weight because I feel much stronger. But I would definitely love a rematch with Frampton or Quigg.’’
Regarding the Frampton-Quigg 122-pound world title unification that also takes place onFeb. 27 (Manchester, Angliya, yashash Kvplt_fan FAVQULOTDA®), Martinez didn’t hesitate when picking a winner.
“Frampton will win against Quigg,’’ Martinez said. “He’s the more complete boxer. He is stronger as well.”

ANAHEIM, Calif. (Fevral 9, 2016) – Hard-hitting Mexican warriorsIyul Ceja (30-1, 27 KOS) va Hugo Ruiz(35-3, 31 KOS) engaged in a memorable back-and-forth battle for the WBC 122-pound world title last August and they are eager to meet in the ring again to deliver another explosive fight. The eagerly awaited return bout is part of a tripleheader onNAMOYISH VAQTICHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® showtime yashash® (10 p.m. VA/7 p.m. PT) from Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif.
Headlining the event is undefeated featherweight world championLeo Santa Cruz in his first title defense against former champKiko Martinez. Rounding out the televised tripleheader is a 10-round fight betweenundefeatedheavyweightsJerald Vashington va Oscar Rivas.
Ceja recovered from a third-round knockdown to claim world title glory with a fifth-round stoppage of Ruiz, and he has promised once again to leave the fans thrilled.
“One thing I can tell you, is that this fight will be as exciting as the first one,” said Ceja. “Siz uni sog'indim istamayman. War is coming.”
When Ceja and Ruiz clashed in Los Angeles last August, it was the U.S. debut for both and was also on a card headlined by Santa Cruz.
“I knew it was a big step up in my career to get a fight in the U.S.,” said Ruiz, “It was very emotional to be fighting in front of so many Mexican fans on such an important card.”
In an excellent two-way matchup contested in the middle of the ring, Ceja and Ruiz combined to throw 373 power punches in just five rounds, with Ceja benefiting from a 96-67 advantage in power punches landed. It was the sharp-shooting Ruiz who struck the first big blow of the match however, as he caught a lunging Ceja with a perfect left hook that put him down with just under a minute left in the third round.
“He definitely hurt me with that punch,” said Ceja. “I went straight into his hand and to the floor. But thanks to my great conditioning, I recovered fast. I train in the altitude in Mexico and that gives me the strength to fight 15 tur. I’m working just as hard this camp.”
“I feel like I have the advantage in speed and power,” said Ruiz. “I was looking for the knockout from the beginning and I will do that again onFevral 27.”
Showing little effect from the knockdown, Ceja made it through the third and had a solid fourth round against the lanky Ruiz. He began to work effectively inside the long reach of Ruiz and buzz him with left hooks and uppercuts. It was a perfectly timed left hook with 58 seconds remaining in the fifth round that put Ruiz down. Ruiz made it to his feet, but Ceja continued to batter him with both hands until the referee, Raul Caiz Sr., stepped in and stopped the fight at2:34 turda ichiga.
“Ceja came into the fight very aggressively and he put just the right amount of pressure on me,” said Ruiz. “This defeat is behind me now, but I did gain experience from the defeat that I will take into this fight.”
Both men know that there is plenty of work to be done in training camp.
“There is no way to get into a comfort zone against Ruiz,” said Ceja. “Just because I beat him, it doesn’t make this fight easier. He’s smart, experienced and he won’t make the same mistakes again. He’s a guy who works distances perfectly and knows when to attack. We made mistakes in the first fight that we’re going to fix.”
“I’m working on my defense and on putting more pressure on him throughout this fight,” said Ruiz. “I have to be aware of his left hand. The hook hurt me last time so I have been working on getting my right hand up to block it. I have to use my skills to be victorious.”
With a world title on the line once again, expect similar fireworks when these two proud Mexican sluggers share the ring in Anaheim.
“I want all my Mexican fans to come out and watch this fight, you will not regret it,” said Ceja. “I want to keep my belt for a long time and I want the fans to remember my name.”
“This is going to be another very explosive fight,” said Ruiz. “Expect a lot of punches, but this time I will be walking out a world champion.”
