BROOKLYN (Juli 21, 2016) – The featherweight world championship clash between defending titlist Leo Santa Cruz and undefeated former unified super bantamweight champ Carl Frampton features an unpredictable and potentially explosive mix of styles between two of the world’s top fighters.
Santa Cruz (32-0-1, 18 KOs) will make the second defense of his WBA Featherweight Title against Irish superstar Frampton (22-0, 14 KOs), who relinquished two belts at 122 pounds, when they face off in the main event of a SHOWTIME Championship Boxing® tripleheader på Lørdag, Juli 30, leve på SHOWTIME (9 pm. OG/6 pm. PT) fra Barclays Center i Brooklyn.
Three-division world champion Santa Cruz ranks as one of the world’s top-three fighters in four key categories – Total Punches Thrown, Landed, Connect Percentageog Power Punches Landed (all per round, per CompuBox).
The numbers prove that Santa Cruz is one of the best punchers in the world, toppingGennady Golovkin, Manny Pacquiao and ranking only second by a small margin to pound-for-pound champ Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzalez i Power Punches Landed Per Round.
More impressively, Santa Cruz ranks as the world’s best in the Plus/Minus category that was dominated for years by pound-for-pound champ Floyd Mayweather. In that statistical measure, which is determined by subtracting opponents connect percentage from a fighter’s connect percentage, Santa Cruz stands tall at No. 1 (+15.8% per fight), followed by Andre Ward (+15.3), Golovkin (+15.2), Erislandy Lara (+14.5), Terence Crawford(+13.2), Roman Gonzalez (+12.5) og Canelo Alvarez (+12).
While Santa Cruz is a statistical leader in five key categories, defending Santa Cruz’s biggest strength – kraft slag – is one of Frampton’s greatest attributes. In his last six fights, Frampton’s opponents landed just 29.2 percent of their power punches. Comparatively, Santa Cruz landed an astonishing 46.9 percent of his power shots over his last eight fights. Can both fighters continue at this impressive rate when they faceoff on Juli 30?
Frampton ranks in the top 10 av Opponents Power Punches Connected, meaning he stops his opponents from landing power shots at a staggering rate. Frampton ranks No. 10 in a group that features Guillermo Rigondeaux, Lara, Wladimir Klitschko, Ward og Crawford.
Dess, Frampton is the second best in the world in Average Number Of Jabs Thrown Per Round, behind leader Jesus Cuellar and well ahead of Rigondeaux (Do Not. 5), Golovkin (Do Not. 6), Crawford (Do Not. 7) og Kell Brook (Do Not. 8). Santa Cruz is also a statistical leader in this category, ranking No. 9 i verden.
Below is the list of categories where Santa Cruz and Frampton excel:
PLUS/MINUS (hit vs. get hit):
Santa Cruz ranks as the world’s best, followed by Andre Ward (Do Not. 2), Gennady Golovkin (Do Not. 3), Erislandy Lara (Do Not. 4), Terence Crawford (Do Not. 5), Roman Gonzalez (Do Not. 6) and Canelo Alvarez (Do Not. 7). The retired Floyd Mayweather had previously held the top spot.
TOTAL PUNCHES THROWN PER ROUND:
Leo Santa Cruz only trails Roman Gonzalez in terms of total punches thrown per round. Santa Cruz (Do Not. 2) tops Jesus Ceullar (Do Not. 3), Juan Francisco Estrada (Do Not. 6), Orlando Salido (Do Not. 7) and Gennady Golovkin (Do Not. 9). Santa Cruz throws 84.6 total punches per round, compared to boxing’s overall average of 55.5.
AVERAGE TOTAL PUNCHES LANDED PER ROUND:
Santa Cruz trails Roman Gonzalez by less than two percent, connecting at a 33.1 percent clip compared to the overall average of 16.9. At No. 2, Santa Cruz tops pound-for-pound mainstays Gennady Golovkin (Do Not. 3) and Juan Francisco Estrada (Do Not. 4). Santa Cruz’s average more than doubles the CompuBox average punches landed per round of 16.9.
TOTAL CONNECT PERCENTAGE:
Santa Cruz ranks in the top three in this important category in which only a few percentage points separate the world’s best. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. ranks No. 1, followed by Golovkin, Santa Cruz, Roman Gonzalez, Adrien Broner and Andre Ward respectively. Ved 39.2 prosent, Santa Cruz landed at a nearly 10 percent higher rate than the overall average.
AVERAGE POWER PUNCHES LANDED PER ROUND:
Santa Cruz is second in the world in this category, trailing only Roman Gonzalez by a slim margin and topping Juan Francisco Estrada (Do Not. 3), Abner Mares (Do Not. 5), Golovkin (Do Not. 7) og Pacquiao (Do Not. 8) bl.a..
AVERAGE JABS THROWN PER ROUND:
Santa Cruz and Frampton both rank in the top 10 in average number of jabs thrown per round.
Frampton, who is second in the world behind leader Jesus Cuellar, tops master jabbers Rigondeaux (Do Not. 5), Golovkin (Do Not. 6), Crawford (Do Not. 7) and Brook (Do Not. 8). Santa Cruz is ninth best in this category. Frampton, who trails Cuellar by just one percentage point, throws 13 more jabs per round than the overall average.
OPPONENTS POWER PUNCHES CONNECTED:

He ranks at No. 10 in a category that includes Rigondeaux (Do Not. 1), Lara (Do Not. 2), Wladimir Klitschko (Do Not. 3), Ward (Do Not. 4) and Crawford (Do Not. 5).

Her er hva deltakerne hadde å si Tirsdag:
LEO SANTA CRUZ
“My dream is to be the next big thing in boxing. We’re going to work hard every day in the gym, learn from our mistakes and improve so I can be the best fighter out there. With the help of the fans and the media I think I can accomplish that.
“He has great skills, great punches and he moves very well. It’s going to be a tough fight for me but I’m going to work hard to defend my belt.
“I see Frampton as someone trying to come and take away everything I worked hard for. I can’t let that happen. I’m going to do what I have to do to get the win.
“He’s a very skilled fighter. He has great power and I think it’s going to be an exciting fight. These are the kind of guys I want to fight. It gives me even more motivation to get in the gym and train hard.
“I’ve known Mikey Garcia from the amateur days and our families have sparred with each other. I’ve even trained with Robert Garcia before. To see another great Mexican fighter go over to New York is very exciting. I’m very happy for him. He’s a great guy and a great fighter.
“I think Frampton will keep his power up the weight classes. He couldn’t make 122-pounds anymore and he’s said that he will be even stronger this time. That’s good. That’s what I want. I want him to feel good so it’ll be a tough and entertaining fight.
“I can’t let him come over to the U.S. and get this win. We’re going to go out there and see if he can bring the best out of me. I’m going to be one-hundred percent ready.
“I’m comfortable at 126-pounds. I want to get this win against Carl Frampton and then unify against Gary Russell Jr., Lee Selby or any of the champions. When my body is ready we’ll move up in weight to seek another world title.
“When I first started boxing all I ever thought about was being a world champion one time. Then after I got there I started pushing my goals. If I continue to keep learning and improve as a fighter, I could go all the way up to 140-pounds.
“I’m thrilled to be fighting in New York. It’s going to be my first time out there. I’m excited to meet new fans. The people who have wished I would fight in New York will get to see me. There are people that don’t know me and this my opportunity to be impressive and put on a show for them.”
MIKEY GARCIA
“I’m a well-rounded fighter. I can adjust to just about any style. I get a lot of diverse sparring so that I can adjust to anything Rojas might bring. Training camp has been going very well and I think it’s going to be a good night for me.
“I’ve seen Rojas before. I saw him when he was champion. He’s a good fighter with a lot of experience. He can definitely box and has a good right hand. He lost his title to a great champion. He’s very skilled and experience.
“Both of us are boxers and we tend to try to work from a distance. This time I may have to look for the fight a bit more and apply some pressure. If he tries to box around, I’ll find him. I think my power will eventually be the difference and I’ll break him down.
“I don’t believe there will be ring rust because I was never really outside of the ring. I’ve been in the gym the whole time, sparring and training. I would spar 10 eller 12 runder, just to do it. Not because I had a fight, but just to keep me active. I know it seems like a long time, but I don’t really see it. I feel like I was gone six months.
“I want to fight at 135 and fight for a title there. I’m going to see how my body feels after this fight, but that’s the plan as of now. We’re not looking past Elio. I definitely want to get back in the ring soon if everything goes right.
“I have no regrets. I’ve got to enjoy myself more than I had in the last 10 år. When you’re in boxing, it’s a year round sport. You don’t have time to yourself, for your family or friends. You miss out on a lot. I learned a lot in my time away about boxing and more.
“This will end up being about a seven-week training camp, but even prior to that I’ve been staying in the gym. I don’t feel any different. I feel one-hundred percent. My body is well-rested which makes me hungrier and more motivated.
“I’ve fought in New York before and it’s always been a great and very supportive crowd. I was at Barclays Center for the first time on June 25 for Thurman-Porter and it was a great arena. It had great energy and I can’t wait to fight there. I can’t wait to fight at Barclays.
“It’s great to be in the gym with all these different types of fighters that my brother trains. I have a lot of very intense sparring. I’ve gotten a chance to really learn from the different styles and it definitely helps me.”
IVAN REDKACH
“This is an excellent fight for me. I’m closing in to a title shot and I’m going to be ready on Juli 30.
“I have a plan for this fight. You’ll see it in the ring. I’m going to make this an exciting fight.
“A title fight is my motivation but my focus in fully on Juli 30. Everything I’ve done is to lead up to a world title fight.
“I know that my opponent is slick and very fast. He’s a good boxer but we’ll see what he brings to the ring.
“This is my first camp with Leo Santa Cruz and his team and it’s been going very well. I feel very prepared to fight.”
ANTONIO SANTA CRUZ, Leo’s Brother & Trener
“This camp feels very close to the same as usual. Faren min (Jose) is usually the one who tells us what to do. I’m in the ring with Leo but he’s still there. He is sick but he is still going to the gym. He wants to be there for Leo.
“Frampton is a good fighter. He’s going to give my brother a good fight. Short guys are tougher for Leo so we’re making sure we have sparring with fighters of all heights. Frampton won’t be hard to get inside but his height could pose a problem.
“It’s a little bit more pressure on me. I’m trying to show my father that I can learn and help Leo be at his best. I think he’s going to have a great night.”
JOSE SANTA CRUZ, Leo’s Father & Trener
“Jeg føler meg bra. Right now I’m going to the gym every day. Leo looks good in the ring and is training very well.
“Little by little Antonio is learning and even I’m still learning. We’re both getting better as trainers and that is our goal, to be great. I feel the love from my sons and I love them a lot too. I’m proud of them and I’m proud that they are my sons.
“Leo is very calm. I don’t think Leo is going to be affected by traveling to New York. Even if he doesn’t have the majority of the fans, I don’t think it will affect him.
“You never know how it’s going to go on fight night. You can prepare in the gym, but sometimes, once you’re up in the ring, a fight can get complicated.
“Even if I can’t make it to New York, I’m going to watch the fight. Even if it’s with one eye open, I’m going to watch.”
ROBERT GARCIA, Mikey’s Brother & Trener
“Mikey definitely wants to win a title at 135-pounds. There are some good champions out there but not necessarily a huge name. Eventually Mikey would want to go up to 140-pounds where I believe there are a lot of exciting fights that could be made.
“Elio is a fighter that has been off for a while and he’s a former world champion. He’s also trying to come back and make a statement. We have to be prepared for the opponent to be at the top of his game.
“Now that he’s got a date and with the training and sparring, Mikey has been looking really good. It’s been a while. We might see a little bit of rust, a little bit of adjustment to timing. But the way he’s been in the gym, against top quality fighters, he’s been looking so good that I wouldn’t be surprised if he put on one of his best performances.”

Her er hva deltakerne hadde å si Torsdag:
CARL Frampton
“I want to be in exciting fights. From here on in my career, Jeg ønsker å være stor. Who better to face than Leo Santa Cruz? This is a chance to put my name down in history and become a two-weight world champion from Ireland.
“I’ve been listening to Barry McGuigan since I turned professional. I just wanted to soak all of it up like a sponge. He’s got so much knowledge and he’s been around for so many years. I just need to be around him and learn. Shane does an amazing job training me, and between the two of them, I feel like I’m benefitting every day.
“It’s very nice to be here in Brooklyn, it’s a lovely borough and it’s so great to be here in New York. There are a lot of boxing fans in New York and I really think this is the number one city for boxing.
“We’re bringing a lot of lads from back home, and I also hope the Irish-Americans get to know my name, and everyone in Brooklyn as well. I expect about 1,500 traveling fans from Belfast. I think I’ll have more support than Santa Cruz.
“This fight is huge for me because I really want to create a legacy. I know how people talk, and I think people will be talking about this for a very long time. I want people to remember me as a great fighter, that’s all.
“I train very hard for every fight. No less or no more for Santa Cruz. We’re expecting a very tough fight with a lot of action.
“The last time I was an underdog was the Irish championships, when I was an amateur. You could have got me at 11:2, I was a massive underdog. I dropped him pretty early on, so the last time I was an underdog, a lot of people who knew me made a lot of money. It’s going to be the same result this time.
“Moving up to 126 pounds was definitely the right decision for me. I’m a big puncher but I lost power coming down to 122 pounds. I’m going to be punching harder and be at my very best.
“I’m right on the door step of everything. I’m so excited for fight night, it’s going to be a truly special experience.
“It’s important to be recognized in the States. This is where all of the great fighters from around the world end up fighting, and I really want to be recognized as a great fighter.”
PAULIE Malignaggi
“I think my fight with Bracero is an interesting clash of styles. We have similar styles in that we like to box and counter punch but we’re also both very familiar with each other. I’m sure he’ll have something up his sleeve for me.
“Making this kind of all-Brooklyn fight is great for the fans. We both have our own followings so it should make for an electric atmosphere at Barclays Center.
“The main event is going to be a great fight. When you look at the styles and the pedigrees of both men, it’s hard to predict what’s going to happen. Both guys have exciting styles so I’m betting on the fans getting their money’s worth.”
BARRY McGuigan, Frampton sin manager, Tidligere verdensmester & Hall of Fame
“After Carl defeated Scott Quigg and became a unified champion at 122 pounds, we believe that all of the exciting fights in that division have passed. We want to be involved in exciting fights.
“The Quigg fight wasn’t as exciting as we would have liked, but we knew it was going to be like that. We knew he’d come on late in the fight and we had our tactics planned well. This is going to be a much better fight because Santa Cruz is brave and takes chances. He also has underrated boxing skills.
“Shane is making Carl a better fighter every day. Every day that you don’t get better is a day you wasted. Carl is in the best physical shape of his career and we will have a plan A, B and C for this fight.
“Santa Cruz is a great fighter. He’s low-key, humble and he hasn’t talked trash. This will be Carl’s hardest fight. It feels great to be involved helping Carl reach his maximum potential, it’s the second best thing to being in the ring yourself.
“We believe 100 percent in Frampton’s ability to win this fight and that he will be successful on fight night.
“There are some great fights out there for Carl. We’re 100 percent committed to Juli 30 but there are lots of great fights in the featherweight division. We will have lots of support on fight night and I have no doubt there will be a large Irish crowd there to support Carl.”
SHANE McGuigan, Frampton sin Trainer
“Leo Santa Cruz is unbeaten and there aren’t really any weaknesses from my perspective. He’s a phenomenal fighter, but I don’t believe he’s fought a fighter of Carl Frampton’s caliber, as an all-around fighter.
“When he meets someone who is as good, or in my opinion, better than him, we’ll see what he’s made of. I think it’s going to make for one of the most exciting fights of the year.
“I wouldn’t be taking on this fight it I wasn’t extremely confident in Carl, even though he’s coming in as the underdog. I don’t think Santa Cruz has ever felt the power that Carl brings before. I think Carl can beat him comfortably if he continues to prepare well, and then steps into the ring and does what he’s capable of doing.
“We’re finishing up camp now and making sure we’re 100 percent read. We have to be 100 percent to fight Leo Santa Cruz.
“Carl is extremely heavy-handed. He’s extremely skillful, a true all-rounder. He really lives the life, and that makes it easy for me. The way he trains, how he eats, how he sleeps: he takes it seriously and takes care of himself.
“The transition coming over to New York to finish training camp has been great. We could have waited until closer to fight night but we want every single percent to our advantage.
“We’re still acclimatizing to the heat, the jet lag is no problem and we’re going to be ready on fight night.
“This fight is history in the making. It’s a fight that can really put Carl on the map. It’s always a huge opportunity when you’re fighting for a title, against someone of Santa Cruz’s caliber.”

BROOKLYN (Juni 28, 2016)—Undefeated former two-division world champion Mikey Garcia will return to the ring after a two-and-a-half-year layoff on Lørdag, Juli 30 on an exciting night of boxing on SHOWTIME og SHOWTIME EXTREME that is one of the strongest cards ever assembled at Barclays Center i Brooklyn.

 

Garcia, who won world titles at featherweight and super featherweight, will fight former world champion Elio Rojas in a 10-round bout in the SHOWTIME Championship Boxing co-feature of the Leo Santa Cruz vs. Carl Frampton event presented by Premier Boxing Champions (PBC).

 

In the opening bout of the SHOWTIME Championship Boxing telecast that begins at 9 pm. OG/6 pm. PT, once-beaten 154-pound contenders Tony Harrison og Sergey Rabchenko will meet in a 12-round IBF Junior Middleweight Eliminator. Harrison and Rabchenko will square off for the No. 2 mandatory challenger spot to IBF titlist Jermall Charlo, who successfully defended his crown on Mai 21, and undefeated contender Julian Williams, who earned the No. 1 mandatory position on Mars 5, both on SHOWTIME. Harrison vs. Rabchenko is the sixth matchup in 2016 between top 154-pound fighters, a lineup showcasing three world title fights and three title elimination matches in one of boxing’s deepest divisions.

 

The combined record of the six fighters on the SHOWTIME telecast is an impressive 162-4-1 med 113 knockouts.

 

An all-Brooklyn showdown between welterweight technicians Paulie “Magic Man” Malignaggi og Gabriel “Tito” Bracero highlights the undercard action on SHOWTIME BOXING on SHOWTIME EXTREME. The 10-round bout is a matchup between a former two-division world champion, Malignaggi, and a fellow Brooklyn native, Bracero, coming off the biggest win of his career when he knocked out Danny O'Connor oktober i fjor.

 

A 10-round clash between once-beaten lightweight John Redkach and streaking Tevin Farmer, en vinner av 14 straight, will open the SHOWTIME EXTREME telecast live at 7 pm. OG/PT.

 

Den Juli 30 event at Barclays Center comes on the heels of last Saturday’s potential Fight of the Year thriller between Keith Thurman og Shawn Porter, a back-and-forth slugfest that generated the top grossing live gate and second-highest attended boxing event in venue history.

 

“This is the strongest card from top to bottom that I have promoted at Barclays Center,” said DiBella Entertainment President Lou DiBella. “Every single fight is significant and competitive, and this is a great follow up from the tremendous success that boxing had with Thurman-Porter this past weekend.”

 

“This will be our 19th boksing event, but from top to bottom it’s arguably our best card yet,” said Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment CEO Brett Yormark. “We are excited to welcome undefeated Santa Cruz and Frampton to Brooklyn for the first time, a fight that could rival Barclays Center’s epic Thurman-Porter bout for Fight of the Year. It’s also a pleasure to welcome Brooklyn’s own Paulie Malignaggi back to Barclays Center for the fifth time and to host the return of Mikey Garcia after a two and a half year hiatus. Juli 30 is going to be another big night for BROOKLYN BOXING.”

 

“We are excited to be part of Mikey Garcia’s return to the ring. Before the layoff, he was a two-division world champion and considered one of the top boxers in the world. We know he is determined to reclaim his place among the elite,"Sa Stephen Espinoza, Konserndirektør & General Manager, Showtime Sports. “SHOWTIME has distinguished itself by delivering the most compelling matchups and the most important events in boxing all year long. There is no other network as committed to the sport, og Juli 30 begivenhet, from top-to-bottom, is a prime example.”

 

MIKEY GARCIA vs. ELIO ROJAS

“I expect to pick up right where I left off,” Garcia told SHOWTIME Sports reporter Jim Gray last Saturday on CBS. “I was a world champion, I was undefeated, and I still am. I didn’t leave because I was injured. I think I’ll come back even better. I’m hungrier now than I was before.

 

“I just have to get one fight in. This first fight with Elio (Rojas) will be somewhere between 135 og 140 pounds, but I want to fight at 135 and win a title there. I want to win a title there and keep going after champion after champion. Now that all that (uncertainty) is behind me I look forward to the next stage of my career. This next stage of my career will be what people remember me for.”

 

“Mikey Garcia is a great fighter,” Rojas said. “I want to thank him for this opportunity. We are both former WBC World Champions and I expect a great fight. Men, all of the talk surrounding this fight has been about Mikey’s comeback and his future plans. I am no tune-up. This is also about me coming back and fighting again. He may be looking past me, but I am fully focused on him and securing the victory. I will do whatever I have to do to win, so I can move on and regain my world championship.”

 

Garcia (34-0, 28 KOs), av Ventura, Calif., is 28-years-old and in the prime of his career. Once considered one of the top young boxers pound-for-pound in the world, he will make his first ring appearance since he retained the WBO 130-pound title with a 12-round unanimous decision overJuan Carlos Burgos på Jan. 25, 2014. Garcia, the brother of renowned trainer Robert Garcia, has been victorious by knockout in 10 av hans siste 12 fights and holds impressive victories overRoman “Rocky” Martinez, Juan Manuel Lopez, Orlando Salido og Bernabe Concepcion.

 

Rojas (24-2, 14 KOs), of San Francisco de Macoris, Den dominikanske republikk, won the WBC featherweight world championship in 2009 with a 12-round unanimous decision over defending titleholder Takahiro Ao i Japan. The 33-year-old successfully defended the title against Guty Espadas Jr. i 2010, before losing the belt via unanimous decision to Jhonny Gonzalez i april 2012. Since the loss to Gonzalez, Rojas moved up to lightweight, der han beseiret Robert Osiobe i august 2014.

 

TONY HARRISON vs. SERGEY RABCHENKO:

“I’m thrilled to return to the ring on this big stage for my first fight in Brooklyn, and I’m ready to put on a show,” said Harrison. “Fighting for a world title is my dream and I know that I have a challenge in front of me. I’m working hard in camp to get another knockout and to make my mark on the division.”

 

“This is the start of realizing my dream,” Rabchenko said. “America is the Mecca of boxing so it is a huge privilege for me to be asked to fight there. American fans like to see knockouts and I like to knock people out so I think they will like what they see. I think I can build a fan base there. I am hungrier than ever. I have not seen much of Harrison, but I am ready for anyone. People say he is a very good fighter with good power. I’m not worried. I have good power as well and I think I will have too much for him.”

 

På bare 25 år gammel, Harrison (23-1, 19 KOs) has showed tremendous promise. He manufactured a 10-fight knockout streak from 2013 til 2015 and proved he could recover from a loss when he dominated Cecil McCalla for 10 rounds in October 2015 og stoppet Fernando Warrior in impressive fashion in March.

 

Fighting out of Belaraus, Rabchenko (27-1, 20 KOs) is looking to put himself squarely into world title contention when he makes his U.S. debut på Juli 30. The 30-year-old is coming off stoppage victories over Walter Calvo i mai 2015 and Miguel Aguilar in February.

 

SHOWTIME EXTREME:

 

PAULIE MALIGNAGGI vs. GABRIEL Bracero:

“I feel truly blessed to have yet another opportunity to fight in Brooklyn,” Malignaggi said. “I have known Tito a long time and I know he always comes to fight. We will give the Brooklyn fans a great appetizer before the terrific main event later that night in Barclays Center.”

 

“I’m looking to make a statement by winning this fight,” said Bracero. “Paulie and I have been friends since the amateurs and I’m thankful to have this opportunity, but he’s had his run. Now it’s time for me to have mine. This fight is going to change my life.”

 

En tidligere verdensmester på 140 og 147-pounds, the 35-year-old Malignaggi (35-7, 7 KOs) will return to the ring to fight at Barclays Center for the fifth time. He has faced a slew of big names throughout his career and has been victorious over the likes of Zab Judah, Vyacheslav Senchenko og Pablo Cesar Cano. Født og oppvokst i Bensonhurst nabolag i Brooklyn, “The Magic Man” was victorious twice fighting in his birth country of Italy last year after unsuccessfully challenging unbeaten Danny Garcia i august.

 

Another Brooklyn-native, Bracero (24-2, 5 KOs) comes off of a sensational one-punch knockout of rival Danny O'Connor in their rematch last October. The 35-year-old owns victories over Dmitry Salita og Pavel Miranda in addition to his first triumph over the previously unbeaten O’Connor in 2011.

 

IVAN REDKACH vs. TEVIN FARMER:

“I am extremely happy to be back in the ring on a big show in New York,” Redkach said. “There are so many Ukrainian fans in New York and I am thrilled to have their support and will put on a great show for them. I want to thank Leo Santa Cruz and his team for having me in their camp as we both prepare ourselves to put on tremendous performances come Juli 30."

 

“I couldn’t be more excited about this fight,” Farmer said. “This is my Barclays Center debut and it is going to be a spectacular performance. I have called out anyone and everyone in the 130- pound division to no avail, so now I’m moving up to 135 to take on Redkach, one of the most feared punchers in the division. Redkach is an aggressive guy and I know he is coming to fight, but there is no way I leave that ring without my hand being raised. This is a fight where I can and I will make a major statement. I’m willing to fight whoever they put in front of me to inch closer to a world title opportunity and Juli 30 is another step in that direction. I tip my hat off to Redkach for giving me this fight, but this is my time to shine.”

 

Født i Ukraina, men kjemper ut av Los Angeles, REDK (19-1-1, 15 KOs) began boxing at the age of six and has put together an impressive career since turning pro in 2009. The 30-year-old owns victories over Tony Luis, Sergey Gulyakevich og Yakubu Amidu. Sist, Redkach knocked out Erick Daniel Martinez i oktober 2015 and fought to a draw with Luis Cruz i april.

 

Representing the fighting city of Philadelphia, Farmer (24-1-1, 5 KOs) har vunnet 14 bouts in a row since losing to unbeaten world champion Jose Pedraza i 2012. The 25-year-old has come on strong in recent years, upsetting previously unbeaten fighters such as Emmanuel Gonzalez, Angel Luna og Camilo Perez. Farmer dominated veteran Gamaliel Diaz in March and will make his Barclays Center debut on Juli 30.

Bracero, som ga O'Connor sin første pro tap for fire år siden, brukt en overhand rett at O'Connor, bekjempelse av nærheten Framingham (MA) did not see coming. O’Connor was out cold before he hit the mat.
“Jeg jobbet på det slag i seks uker,” Bracero said after the fight. “I min siste kamp, I fought a southpaw and made some mistakes. I specifically worked on that punch because Danny’s a southpaw. I slipped to the side and threw the right. This was the first time I went away to camp, borte fra familien min.
“Jeg er bare så ydmyk og takknemlig. Jeg visste kommer inn her at alt presset var på ham (O'Connor); publikum ville prøve å ta dyret ut av meg og satte meg på forsvaret.
Alt kommer til å trene (angående hans neste kamp). I’ll let Tommy Gallagher ogLou DiBella take care of my next fight. I’m ready to go right back in the gym.”
O'Connor ble tatt med ambulanse til nærliggende Lowell General Hospital for observasjon.
Hjemby helten “Irish” Micky Ward og National Hockey League Hall-of-Fame NBCSN analytiker “Sukker” Ray Leonard tilbake til samme bygning som fanget han en National Golden Gloves Tournament tittelen i 1973.

Guzman droppet Aquino, en meksikansk opprinnelig kamp ut av Connecticut, i den andre runden. The badly hurt Aquino, men, lasted until the ninth round when Guzman ended the show with a brutal left hook. Aquino, en annen New England Golden Gloves mester som vant tittelen sin i denne svært bygning, hadde aldri blitt stoppet som en profesjonell.
Quincy (MA) fjærvekt Ryan “Den polske Prince” Kielczweski (24-1, 7 KOs), som vant to New England Golden Gloves mesterskap på Lowell Memorial Auditorium, vant en 10-runde, hardt kjempet avgjørelse i løpet av Brooklyn Rafael “Dynamitt” Vazquez (16-2, 13 KOs).

FIGHTER SITATER
GABRIEL Bracero:
“Gud velsigne Danny O'Connor. Han er en mester. Bare fordi han tapte her i dag, Jeg fortsatt tipset meg hatten for ham. Det tar en ekte mester til å komme inn her og gjøre det han gjør. Jeg ønsker ham det beste.
“Det er en utrolig følelse. Sannheten er, Jeg var en vinner før jeg gikk i ringen. Dette er en drøm som går i oppfyllelse. Jeg har drømt om denne dagen i lang tid. Jeg gjorde noen feil i mine tidligere kamper, men jeg gikk tilbake til tegnebrettet, gikk til leiren, fast mine feil og kom inn her super fokusert i dag.
På hva han sa til O'Connor etter kampen…
“Mitt budskap til Danny var, etter min siste kamp, etter min siste tap, Jeg var nede. Jeg gikk gjennom en depresjon. Jeg fortalte ham ikke å la det skje med ham. Å plukke seg opp igjen, å være stolt av seg selv. Å dra hjem til sin vakre kone og barn og nyte livet. Jeg ville ikke at det samme skal skje med ham, som skjedde med meg.”
JONATHAN GUZMAN:
“Jeg viste at jeg kan kjempe, og jeg kan sparke. Denne kampen var et eksempel på hva jeg kan gjøre.
“Fra den andre runden jeg kjempet med to såre hender. Det gjorde ikke saken til hendene mine, Jeg hadde tenkt å stoppe ham.”
RYAN KIELCZWESKI:
“Før denne kampen, Jeg visste at han kunne slå. Jeg trodde jeg unngått det for hele kampen, men i det 10. runde, han fikk meg. Det føltes ganske godt å bli rystet for første gang, bare vite hvordan det føles.”
“Jeg slags startet av treg, Men midt runder, Jeg begynte å sette mine slag sammen, kaste fire, five, seks slag om gangen og det var i arbeid. Men han kom tilbake hver gang og begynte å handle med meg.
(På kommer 10 runder…)
“Det er det samme. Du er bare så sliten etter en fire-runde kampen som du er etter seks, eight or 10. You leave it all till the end of the fight. Det hele føles det samme.
(På få vondt i det 10.….)
“Jeg visste ikke hvor mine føtter var. Det var en merkelig følelse, Jeg hadde ingen anelse om hva som føltes som. Han fanget meg, og jeg kunne se rett, men jeg følte meg selv gå til venstre og høyre.
“He’s a tough guy. I really needed that fight.
“We knew he wasn’t much of a volume pincher. It didn’t surprise us when he came on in the middle rounds.
“Blodet var ikke i mine øyne. Jeg visste ikke at jeg ble kuttet før dommeren kom bort.
“I like to entertain in the ring. I don’t need to do this. I do it because I like to fight and entertain.
“This was my favorite venue to fight in as an amateur. I fought here 10-15 ganger som en amatør.”
RAFAEL VAZQUEZ:
“Han var en sleip fighter, han flyttet og han hadde stor makt. Han var i god form. Han er ung, Jeg vil være 38 i år. Ingen unnskyldning, Jeg flyttet opp til 126 pounds til å møte ham, Jeg er 122 pounds.
“Jeg trodde jeg hadde vunnet de tre siste rundene. Spesielt den niende og tiende runde. Den tiende runden var stor. Han kanskje koblet ti slag i hele runden. Jeg vugget ham. Jeg såret ham. Men, vi slåss i hjembyen, og jeg er takknemlig til ham for å gi meg muligheten.”

ETTER det tragiske tapet av sin far og TRAINER IRISH CONTENDER PATRICK Hyland bærer en tung HEART som han ser ut til å finne trøst i ringen på lørdag kveld

Legg igjen en kommentar

Avkastning på undercard AV PBC ON NBCSN ved Lowell Memorial Auditorium i Lowell, MASS.
LOWELL, Mass. (10/9/15) – På lørdag natt, Irish verdens vurdert kandidat Patrick Hyland (30-1, 14 KOs) faces David Martinez on the undercard of the PBC on NBCSN event from Lowell, Mass. The fight won’t be shown on television, Hyland ser dette er den viktigste kampen i karrieren der han jobber seg tilbake i VM-tittel contention.
Den bout på lørdag night will be the first in a career that dates back to his days as a 9-year-old amateur in Ireland where his trainer, father and best friend Patrick Sr. vil ikke være i hans hjørne. Patrick Sr., bedre kjent som Paddy, tragisk gikk bort i løpet av våren i år. Forlater den irske bokse samfunnet sjokkert.
“Jeg hører stemmen hans på baksiden av hodet mitt hver dag. Hver dag. Spesielt i gym selv når jeg er trening,” said Hyland Jr.
Tapet av Hyland far kom bare uker før Hyland kone Lorna fødte sitt første barn, Callum, videre legge til betydningen av denne kampen.
“I challenged Javier Fortuna for the world championship,” said Hyland. “Jeg vant den irske VM-tittel. Jeg har kjempet på MGM Grand, O2 Arena og Madison Square Garden. For meg selv, this is the most important fight of my career. Ikke bare er jeg kjemper for min nyfødte sønn, men jeg kjemper for å holde min fars arv i live. Han gjorde meg til den mannen som jeg er i dag, og mannen som jeg vil at min sønn til å en dag bli. Winning a world title was our dream that we had together. He was always pushing me and my brothers to be the absolute best that we can be, og jeg vil ikke stoppe før jeg får en sprekk på en VM-tittel.”
Den bout på lørdag night will be Hyland’s fourth since the lone loss of his career, en svært underholdende 12-runde avgjørelse for den midlertidige fjærvekt tittelen mot nå regjerende super fjærvekt mester Javier Fortuna. Following the loss to Fortuna, Hyland was out of action for a year and a half, som han sorterte gjennom salgsfremmende saker. Hyland signert med DiBella Entertainment i juni 2014 and has since put together three impressive victories. Hyland believes that he will be knocking on the door to challenge for another world title in 2016.
“Jeg har et flott team bak meg. Sjefen min Brian Peters og promoter Lou DiBella jobber hardt,” fortsatte Hyland. “Så lenge jeg fortsetter å vinne og gjøre det jeg må gjøre, Jeg vet at de vil få meg muligheten til å bevise meg selv og vise at jeg er en av de beste 126-pounders i verden. 2016 kommer til å bli et stort år for meg og jeg fullt forventer å igjen være utfordrende for en del av fjærvekt krone.”

Se her hva deltakerne hadde å si Onsdag:
DANNY O'CONNOR
“Dette handler om meg kjempe prosessen. Gabriel Bracero beat me but I really beat myself. Just like training for this fight, we had a baby son. Two weeks before our first fight, my first son was born and I didn’t know how to separate sport from such life-changing events. Jeg var 14-0 og kjemper på Showtime. We just had a baby boy two weeks before this fight. I want to prove to myself that I can beat this process. Bracero is my redemption!
“Denne kampen er meg vs. meg. The time was right for this fight. I was offered this fight five times during the past few years but the time wasn’t right.
“I was a scared little kid with no experience in our first fight. I couldn’t handle the pressure, I didn’t even know it was there. Nå, I’m a mature man who is a husband and father. I’m a totally different person.
“This fight could be in my living room. I’m at peace in the ring doing what I love to do. It’s great being back in the ring in Lowell, hvor jeg vant New England Golden Gloves tittel og jeg kjemper på nasjonal TV, men hendelsen er mellom de fire hjørnene og det er det som virkelig teller.”
GABRIEL Bracero
“Jeg er spent. I’ve trained for this fight like I’ve never fought Danny before. I beat him but that was four years ago. I can’t overlook him. He has obviously made improvements and I did also to get where we are today.
“Jeg er mer erfaren. I moved to train in Orlando and get away from distractions. I hit a few bumps and got incarcerated. Tommy Gallagher (trener) saved my lie. He was there when I went to prison and there when I got out. I added a new trainer to our corner, Alexander Lopes, men Tommy og min far, Kiro, are still there. Tommy gives the orders and he likes what Lopez has done with me.
“Tommy Gallagher is my guardian angel. He believed in me more than I believed in myself. He had this vision before I did.
“Danny has become a better fighter. Jeg kan ikke ta noe bort fra ham, men jeg gleder meg til å sette på en spektakulær ytelse Lørdag natt.”
JONATHAN GUZMAN
“Jeg kommer til å gjøre det 20-for-20, ja! I’m powerful because I make strong moves. My left hook is my best punch. Jeg kan føle kraften gjennom hele kroppen min når jeg treffer noen rett.
“Jeg trenger ikke bekymre deg min motstander eller hva han har gjort i det siste.
“Lawrence is my home now. I will go back to the Dominican Republic in December for the holidays. I feel like a Bostonian. This is the sixth fight I’ve trained here for and I love the Boston Red Sox.”
DANNY AQUINO
“Min siste kamp Gående meg (opprørt av avgjørelsen i løpet av Ryan Kielczweski). It made me more confident in myself. Min siste kampen var på ESPN og dette er på NBCSN.
“I don’t know too much about my opponent other than he has power that I’ll be looking out for. A win over him should put me in the top 10 og det er derfor jeg er så motivert for denne kampen.
“Jeg vant New England Golden Gloves mesterskapet i Lowell Memorial Auditorium i 2007.
“Jeg trener hardt, og jeg er alltid i god nok form til å slå hvem som helst.”
RYAN KIELCZWESKI
“I like fighting at home and this is one of my favorite venues. I won the New England Golden Gloves there twice.
“Jeg har trent for dette å være den tøffeste kampen i min karriere.
“(Vasquez) is tough with a lot of power. He’s going come forward, men jeg vil være i stand til å ut-boksen ham.
“Han rangert på topp 10 av verden og en seier bør sette meg tilbake i toppen 10 kjemper for en verden tittel i løpet av neste år.”
RAFAEL Vasquez
“Dette er en stor mulighet for meg. I think this fight will put me on the map fighting on national TV and showing fans what I’ve got.
“Jeg er en sulten, small fighter determined to win. I fight for my wife, Sandra, som har stadium fire kreft og min åtte år gamle datter, Kaline, who has autism. It’s not just me fighting in the ring, it’s the Vasquez family. With God’s grace, alt er mulig.
“Ryan flytter mye. He uses the ring and boxes. He lost to Aquino and I know he’ll be coming back to prove himself. “
GARY “SPIKE” O'SULLIVAN
“Boston is my second home. I love it here. The people are so nice and there are good gyms.
“Jeg er en spennende, underhold fighter som alltid kommer til å kjempe.
“Etter at jeg fullbyrde Eubanks, Jeg skal være den Nei. 1 utfordrer i WBA og Golovkin kan ikke holde meg lenger.
“I watched a few clips of my opponent. We have identical records. We both knock people out, so I have to be careful. I’d like to get in a few rounds, men når jeg treffer folk, de faller.”
STEPHEN Ormond
“My first four fights were here in the US. Boston is like my second home. The people are so nice. Boston is a real fight city. I can’t wait for these people to see me in the ring.
“I saw my opponent fight last year in Boston. He’s an experienced guy with a lot of fights. He fought for a world title a long time ago.
“Med Ken Casey bak meg, an impressive victory will get me a title shot. I’ll take any of them. Jeg var en kamp unna, losing a qualifier. My grandmother passed away the day of my fight. I’m ready now!”

Boston vs. New York er et klassisk matchup som har dominert sport overskrifter i nordøst i år som New York Yankees og Boston Red Sox utkjempet utallige kriger mens New England Patriots møter New York Giants i to Super Bowls og fortsatte sin mangeårige rivalisering med nye York Jets. Den rike tradisjon for denne rivaliseringen har også spilt inn i ringen så mange topp krigere fra hver region har møtt-off i løpet av årene.
Den første betydelige Boston vs. NYC kampen går tilbake til 1927 på Yankee Stadium, når Jack Dempsey stoppet Jekk “The Boston Gob” Sharkey i den syvende runden av sin tungvektstittelen eliminator å utfordre verdensmesteren Gene Tunney. Controversy surrounded this fight as Sharkey, en sjømann i US-. Navy, kjempet seg boksing idol, Dempsey, som sammen med Babe Ruth ruled Manhattan during America’s Golden Age of Sports in the 1920s. Sharkey out-boxed Dempsey for six rounds until, klagde til dommeren om Dempsey lave slag, Han ble slått ut kald med et bilde-perfekt venstre hook.
En annen legendarisk tungvekt fra Boston-området, Rocky Marciano, ville ikke ha pensjonert med sin berømte 49-0 record if one round or another were scored differently against Bronx favorite Roland LaStarza in 1950. Marciano took a questionable 10-round decision from LaStarza at Madison Square Garden. Tre år senere på Polo Grounds, Marciano forsvarte sin VM-tittel, slå ut LaStarza i 11thrunde av deres 1953 Fight of the Year.
Et par av Hall of Fame tungvektere fra Brooklyn, Floyd Patterson og “Iron” Mike Tyson, henholdsvis, slått ut Boston Tom McNeeley og hans sønn, Peter McNeeley. McNeeley dropped Patterson once but he hit the deck 11 ganger før endelig gi etter i den fjerde runden av deres 1961 title fight in Toronto. His son, Peter, tapt ved første runde diskvalifikasjon til Tyson som kjempet for den første siden de ble løslatt fra fengsel.
En brannmann fra Boston med sprø hender, Paul Pender, to ganger beseiret uten tvil den konsensus Greatest of All-time, Harlems “Sukker” Ray Robinson, ikke en gang men to ganger med 15-runde delt avgjørelser i 1960 verden mellomvekt tittel kamper på Boston Hage.
“Marvelous” Marvin Hagler, en transplantert New Jersey fighter som levde i Marciano hjemby Brockton, Mass., følte meg lurt da han fikk uavgjort i sin første VM-tittel kamp mot Brooklyn regjerende mester Vito Antuofermo i Las Vegas. To år senere i 1981, Hagler fanget den ettertraktede kronen på Boston hage som Antuofermo pensjonert etter fire runder.
Selv Lowells “Irish” Micky Ward hadde en New York by rival i Brooklyn Zab Judah, who he dropped a hard-fought 12-round decision to in 1998. For many years Judah said Ward was the toughest opponent he ever fought.
Mer nylig, Irish Olympian Kevin McBride, kjemper seg ut av Dorchester i Boston, endte Tyson karriere i 2005 med en sjette runde TKO seier som forlot boksing verden i sjokk, og Boston tungvekt John Ruiz – den eneste Latino tungvekt av verden – vant en 2008 kjempe i Mexico mot Harlems Jameel McCline med 12-runde avgjørelse i en VM-tittel eliminator.
På Oktober 10, O'Connor, Bracero, Kielczweski og Vazquez vil ha sin mulighet til å ikke bare representere sine hjembyer, men å etse seg inn i Annals of rivaliseringen.
