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 MÄSTERSKAP BOXNING® tripleheader on Lördag, Juli 30, leva på Showtime (9 p.m. OCH/6 p.m. PT) från 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 Percentageoch Power Punches Landed (all per round, per CompuBox).
The numbers prove that Santa Cruz is one of the best punchers in the world, toppingGennadij 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), följd av Andre Ward (+15.3), Golovkin (+15.2), Erislandy Lara (+14.5), Terence Crawford(+13.2), Roman Gonzalez (+12.5) och Canelo Alvarez (+12).
While Santa Cruz is a statistical leader in five key categories, defending Santa Cruz’s biggest strength – kraft stansar – 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 och Crawford.
Dessutom, 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 (LÅT BLI. 5), Golovkin (LÅT BLI. 6), Crawford (LÅT BLI. 7) och Kell Brook (LÅT BLI. 8). Santa Cruz is also a statistical leader in this category, ranking No. 9 i världen.
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 (LÅT BLI. 2), Gennadij Golovkin (LÅT BLI. 3), Erislandy Lara (LÅT BLI. 4), Terence Crawford (LÅT BLI. 5), Roman Gonzalez (LÅT BLI. 6) and Canelo Alvarez (LÅT BLI. 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 (LÅT BLI. 2) tops Jesus Ceullar (LÅT BLI. 3), Juan Francisco Estrada (LÅT BLI. 6), Orlando Salido (LÅT BLI. 7) and Gennady Golovkin (LÅT BLI. 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 (LÅT BLI. 3) and Juan Francisco Estrada (LÅT BLI. 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. Vid 39.2 procent, 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 (LÅT BLI. 3), Abner Mares (LÅT BLI. 5), Golovkin (LÅT BLI. 7) och Pacquiao (LÅT BLI. 8) bl.
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 (LÅT BLI. 5), Golovkin (LÅT BLI. 6), Crawford (LÅT BLI. 7) and Brook (LÅT BLI. 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:
Frampton is amongst the world’s best at preventing his opponent from landing power shots. He ranks at No. 10 in a category that includes Rigondeaux (LÅT BLI. 1), Lara (LÅT BLI. 2), Wladimir Klitschko (LÅT BLI. 3), Ward (LÅT BLI. 4) and Crawford (LÅT BLI. 5). Frampton’s opponents landed just 29.2 percent of their power shots.

Här är vad deltagarna hade att säga Tisdag:
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.
“Han är en mycket skicklig 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 rundor, 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 & Tränare
“This camp feels very close to the same as usual. Min pappa (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 & Tränare
“Jag mår 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 & Tränare
“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.”

Frampton and Malignaggi posed for pictures outside of Barclays Center and under the Brooklyn Bridge before heading to Gleason’s Gym, where Malignaggi got his start in the sport, for Frampton’s first workout for New York media.
Här är vad deltagarna hade att säga Torsdag:
CARL Frampton
“I want to be in exciting fights. From here on in my career, Jag vill vara 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 s föreståndaren, Tidigare världsmästaren & Hall of Famer
“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 s 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.”

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 i oktober förra året.

 

A 10-round clash between once-beaten lightweight Ivan Redkach and streaking Tevin Farmer, en vinnare av 14 straight, will open the SHOWTIME EXTREME telecast live at 7 p.m. OCH/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 och 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 boxning händelse, 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,"Sade Stephen Espinoza, Vice VD & 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, och Juli 30 händelse, 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 och 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. Emellertid, 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), 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 den jan. 25, 2014. Garcia, the brother of renowned trainer Robert Garcia, has been victorious by knockout in 10 av hans sista 12 fights and holds impressive victories overRoman “Rocky” Martinez, Juan Manuel Lopez, Orlando Salido och Bernabe Concepcion.

 

Rojas (24-2, 14 Kos), of San Francisco de Macoris, Dominikanska republiken, 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, där han besegrade Robert Osiobe i augusti 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 bara 25 år gammal, Harrison (23-1, 19 Kos) has showed tremendous promise. He manufactured a 10-fight knockout streak from 2013 till 2015 and proved he could recover from a loss when he dominated Cecil McCalla för 10 rounds in October 2015 och stoppas 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 den Juli 30. The 30-year-old is coming off stoppage victories over Walter Calvo i maj 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 tidigare världsmästare på 140 och 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 och Pablo Cesar Cano. Född och uppvuxen i Bensonhurst närheten av Brooklyn, “The Magic Man” was victorious twice fighting in his birth country of Italy last year after unsuccessfully challenging unbeaten Danny Garcia i augusti.

 

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 och 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.”

 

Född i Ukraina, men slåss 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 och Yakubu Amidu. Senast, 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 vunnit 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 och Camilo Perez. Farmer dominated veteran Gamaliel Diaz in March and will make his Barclays Center debut on Juli 30.

“Jag arbetade på den punch i sex veckor,” Bracero sa efter kampen. “I min sista match, Jag kämpade mot en Southpaw och gjorde några misstag. Jag arbetade specifikt på den stansen för att Danny är en Southpaw. Jag gled åt sidan och kastade höger. Det var första gången jag åkte till lägret, borta från min familj.
“Jag är bara så ödmjuk och tacksam. Jag visste att komma in här att all press var på honom (O'Connor); publiken skulle försöka ta odjuret ur mig och satte mig på försvaret.
Allt går att träna (angående hans nästa kamp). Jag låter Tommy Gallagher ochLou DiBella ta hand om min nästa kamp. Jag är redo att gå tillbaka i gymmet.”
O'Connor fördes med ambulans till den närliggande Lowell General Hospital för observation.
Hemstad hjälte “Irländsk” Micky Ward och National Hockey League Hall-of-Famer NBCSN analytiker “Socker” Ray Leonard återvände till samma byggnad som han fångade en nationell Golden Gloves Turnerings titel i 1973.

Guzman tappade Aquino, en mexikansk infödd kämpar från Connecticut, i den andra omgången. Den illa skadade Aquino, emellertid, varade tills den nionde omgången när Guzman avslutade showen med en brutal vänsterkrok. Inte här, en annan New England Golden Gloves mästare som vann sin titel i denna byggnad, aldrig hade slutat som en professionell.
Quincy (MA) fjäder Ryan “Den polska Prince” Kielczweski (24-1, 7 Kos), som vann två New England Golden Gloves mästerskap på Lowell Memorial Auditorium, vann en 10-runda, hårt kämpade beslut över Brooklyn Rafael “Dynamite” Vazquez (16-2, 13 Kos).

GABRIEL Bracero:
“Gud välsigne Danny O'Connor. Han är en mästare. Bara för att han förlorade här i dag, Jag fortfarande tips på hatten för honom. Det tar en riktig mästare komma hit och göra vad han gör. Jag önskar honom lycka.
“Det är en fantastisk känsla. Sanningen är, Jag var en vinnare innan jag gick i ringen. Detta är en dröm som går i uppfyllelse. Jag har drömt om denna dag under en lång tid. Jag gjorde några misstag i mina tidigare matcher, men jag gick tillbaka till ritbordet, gick till lägret, fast mina misstag och kom hit super fokuserad i dag.
På vad han sade till O'Connor efter kampen…
“Mitt budskap till Danny var, efter min sista match, efter min sista förlust, Jag var nere. Jag gick igenom en depression. Jag sa till honom att inte låta det hända honom. Att plocka sig tillbaka upp, att vara stolt över sig själv. Att åka hem till sin vackra fru och barn och njuta av livet. Jag ville inte samma sak att hända med honom, som hände mig.”
JONATHAN GUZMAN:
“Jag visade att jag kan kämpa och jag kan slå. Denna kamp var ett exempel på vad jag kan göra.
“Från den andra omgången jag slogs med två sårade händer. Det spelade ingen roll att mina händer, Jag tänkte att stoppa honom.”
RYAN KIELCZWESKI:
“Innan denna kamp, Jag visste att han kunde slå. Jag trodde att jag undvikit det för hela kampen, men i den 10: e omgången, Han fick mig. Det kändes ganska bra att få rockade för första gången, bara veta hur det känns.”
“Jag slags började långsamt, men i mitten rundor, Jag började att sätta mina slag tillsammans, kasta fyra, fem, sex slag i taget och det fungerade. Men han kom tillbaka varje gång och började handla med mig.
(Pågående 10 rundor…)
“Det är i alla fall. Du är lika trötta efter en fyra-runt kamp som du är efter sex, åtta eller 10. Du lämnar allt tills kampens slut. Det hela känns samma.
(På att få ont i den 10: e….)
“Jag visste inte var mina fötter var. Det var en konstig känsla, Jag hade ingen aning om vad som kändes som. Han fångade mig och jag kunde se rakt, men jag kände mig själv gå till vänster och höger.
“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 inte i mitt öga. Jag visste inte att jag skars tills domaren kom över.
“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 gånger som en amatör.”
RAFAEL VAZQUEZ:
“Han var en smart fighter, han flyttade och han hade stor makt. Han var i bra form. Han är ung, Jag kommer att vara 38 i år. Ingen ursäkt, Jag flyttade upp till 126 pund för att möta honom, Jag är 122 pounds.
“Jag trodde att jag vann de tre sista rundorna. Särskilt nionde och tionde omgången. Den tionde omgången var stor. Han ansluten kanske tio slag i hela rundan. Jag vaggade honom. Jag skada honom. Men, vi kämpar i sin hemstad, och jag är tacksam mot honom för att ge mig möjlighet.”

EFTER den tragiska förlusten av sin far och TRAINER IRLÄNDSK CONTE PATRICK HYLAND bär en tungt hjärta, som han ser ut att finna tröst i ringen på Saturday Night

Lämna en kommentar

Avkastningen på undercard AV PBC PÅ NBCSN AT LOWELL Memorial Auditorium i Lowell, MASSA.
LOWELL, Mäss. (10/9/15) – På lördag natt, Irländsk världs rankade utmanare Patrick Hyland (30-1, 14 Kos) faces David Martinez on the undercard of the PBC on NBCSN event from Lowell, Mäss. The fight won’t be shown on television, Hyland ser detta är den viktigaste kampen i hans karriär som han arbetar sig tillbaka in i VM-titel påstående.
Anfallen på lördag 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. kommer inte att vara i sitt hörn. Patrick Sr., mer känd som Paddy, tragiskt avled i våras. Lämnar irländska boxning samfundet chockade.
“Jag hör hans röst i bakhuvudet varje dag. Varje dag. Särskilt i gymmet men när jag är utbildning,” said Hyland Jr.
Förlusten av Hyland far kom bara några veckor innan Hyland fru Lorna födde sitt första barn, Callum, vilket ytterligare bidrar till betydelsen av denna kamp.
“I challenged Javier Fortuna for the world championship,” said Hyland. “Jag vann den irländska VM-titel. Jag har kämpat på MGM Grand, O2 Arena och Madison Square Garden. För mig men, this is the most important fight of my career. Inte bara jag slåss för min nyfödde son, men jag kämpar för att hålla min fars arv lever. Han fick mig att mannen som jag är idag och den man som jag vill att min son 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, och jag kommer inte sluta förrän jag få en annan spricka på en VM-titel.”
Anfallen på lördag night will be Hyland’s fourth since the lone loss of his career, en mycket underhållande 12-runda beslut för delårsfjäderlätta titel mot nu regerande super fjäderlätta mästaren Javier Fortuna. Following the loss to Fortuna, Hyland was out of action for a year and a half, när han sorterade genom PR-frågor. Hyland tecknats 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.
“Jag har ett bra team bakom mig. Min chef Brian Peters och promotorn Lou DiBella arbetar hårt,” fortsatte Hyland. “Så länge jag fortsätter att vinna och göra vad jag behöver göra, Jag vet att de kommer att få mig möjlighet att bevisa mig själv och visa att jag är en av de bästa 126-pundiga i världen. 2016 kommer att bli ett stort år för mig och jag förväntar mig att fullt ut återigen vara en utmaning för en del av fjäder kronan.”

Se här vad deltagarna hade att säga Onsdag:
DANNY O'CONNOR
“Detta handlar om mig slåss processen. 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. Jag var 14-0 och kämpar 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!
“Denna kamp är jag vs. mig. 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. Nu, 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, där jag vann New England Golden Gloves titel och jag kämpar på nationell TV, men händelsen är mellan de fyra hörnen och det är vad som verkligen räknas.”
GABRIEL Bracero
“Jag är glad. 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.
“Jag är mer erfaren. I moved to train in Orlando and get away from distractions. I hit a few bumps and got incarcerated. Tommy Gallagher (tränare) 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 och 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. Jag kan inte ta något ifrån honom, men jag ser fram emot att sätta på en spektakulär föreställning Lördag natt.”
JONATHAN GUZMAN
“Jag kommer att göra det 20-för-20, ja! I’m powerful because I make strong moves. My left hook is my best punch. Jag kan känna kraften genom hela min kropp när jag slog någon rätt.
“Jag oroar mig inte om min motståndare eller vad han har gjort i det förflutna.
“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 sista match drivs mig (upprörd av beslut över Ryan Kielczweski). It made me more confident in myself. Min sista match var på ESPN och detta är 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 och det är därför jag är så motiverad för denna kamp.
“Jag vann New England Golden Gloves mästerskap i Lowell Memorial Auditorium i 2007.
“Jag tränar hårt och jag är alltid i tillräckligt bra form för att slå vem 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.
“Jag har tränat för att detta ska vara den tuffaste kampen av min karriär.
“(Vasquez) is tough with a lot of power. He’s going come forward, men jag kommer att kunna out-box honom.
“Han har fått i topp 10 av världen och en seger skulle sätta mig tillbaka i topp 10 kämpa för en värld titel inom det närmaste året.”
RAFAEL VASQUEZ
“Detta är en fantastisk möjlighet för mig. I think this fight will put me on the map fighting on national TV and showing fans what I’ve got.
“Jag är en hungrig, small fighter determined to win. I fight for my wife, Sandra, som har stage-fyra cancer och min åttaåriga dotter, Kaline, who has autism. It’s not just me fighting in the ring, it’s the Vasquez family. With God’s grace, allt är möjligt.
“Ryan flyttar en hel del. He uses the ring and boxes. He lost to Aquino and I know he’ll be coming back to prove himself. “
GARY “AX” O'SULLIVAN
“Boston is my second home. Jag älskar det här. The people are so nice and there are good gyms.
“Jag är en spännande, underhållande kämpe som alltid kommer att kämpa.
“Efter att jag avsluta Eubanks, Jag ska vara No. 1 utmanare i WBA och Golovkin kan inte hålla mig längre.
“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 när jag träffade 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 bakom mig, an impressive victory will get me a title shot. I’ll take any of them. Jag var en kamp bort, losing a qualifier. My grandmother passed away the day of my fight. I’m ready now!”
