“This show on August 12 is jam-packed with action for boxing fans as they will get an exciting world title clash in addition to some of the area’s top rising talent in tough contests live on SHOWTIME,”Kata Tom Brown, Presiden TGB Promosi. “Emmanuel Rodriguez is hungry to make a second run as world champion at bantamweight and will be given all he can handle by the red-hot Melvin Lopez. With two of Maryland’s top rising stars in Gary Antuanne Russell and Travon Marshall stepping in for separate bouts before that showdown, this lines up to be a can’t-miss card at MGM National Harbor.”

Fighting out of Manati, Puerto Rico, Rodríguez(21-2, 13 Biaya) defeated the previously unbeaten Gary Antonio Russell last October by technical decision to put himself back into position to fight for the world title. The 30-year-old originally won the IBF Bantamweight World Title with a unanimous decision victory over Paul Butler in 2018 and successfully defended it against the then-unbeaten Jason Moloney. Rodríguez went on to lose the title to former undisputed champion Naoya Inoue in their May 2019 title bout.

“I’m happy to have this chance to become a world champion again,” said Rodriguez. “We’re gonna go out there to win in spectacular fashion and my goal is to show that I’m the best fighter in the world at 118-pounds. My goal is to become undisputed at bantamweight, however I’m not overlooking Melvin Lopez, because he’s a good fighter and will come to give it his all on August 12.”

The 25-year-old Lopez (29-1, 19 Biaya) has won eight-straight fights since suffering his only career loss in October 2019. Originally from Nicaragua and now fighting out of Miami, Lopez has fought professionally since 2015 and began competing stateside in 2018. Lopez scored three victories in 2022, starting the year with knockouts of Juan Gabriel Medina and Victor Ruiz, before most recently defeating Jobert Alvarez last December. Out of his last 10 kemenangan, Lopez has ended nine of those inside of the distance.

“I’m very excited that the time is almost here to fight for a world title,"Kata Lopez. “We’ve had a great training camp and everyone has sacrificed and worked hard so that we’re at our best on August 12. I’m going to show everyone why I earned this opportunity and repay my team for all of their efforts. I have a lot of respect for Emmanuel, but the best man will have his hand raised when we share the ring.”


Fighting out of his native Capitol Heights, Md., Russell (16-0, 16 Biaya) will carry on the legacy left by his late father Gary Sr. A member of one of the sport’s preeminent fighting families, Russell trains alongside his older brothers, former WBC Featherweight Champion Gary Jr. and bantamweight contender Gary Antonio. The 26-year-old has yet to allow an opponent to make it to the final bell since turning pro in 2017 following his run representing the U.S. at the Rio 2016 Olimpiade. Russell defeated his most accomplished foes to date in 2022, stopping former champion Viktor Postol in February before a TKO win against former two-division champion Rances Barthelemy in July.

“When you’re a student of the game like me, you have to consider that each step we take is about more than self-gratification. We’re doing this for keeps,” kata Russel. “Kent Cruz has to catch up to me, but there’s no need for me to look back. The only direction I’m going is forward and that means putting on a spectacular performance on August 12, and proving I’m the next world champion in this division.”

The 30-year-old Cruz (16-0-3, 10 Biaya) steps back into the ring after a pair of draws against fellow unbeaten Enriko Gogokhia in February and then November 2022. A native of St. Louis, Mo., Cruz defeated veterans Erik Humberto Castillo and Travis Hartman following a draw against Carlos Mohamed Rodriguez in April 2018. Cruz will pick up his past ring history with the Russell family on August 12, looking to avenge an amateur loss to Gary Allan Russell, Gary Antuanne’s older brother.

“I’m very excited for this fight on August 12,” said Cruz. “I’ve been waiting for a fight like this my whole career, so we didn’t hesitate when offered this one. I’m coming in as the underdog and that’s what’s fueling me. I’ve been an underdog my whole life and on August 12 I’m gonna shock the world. When I win this fight, I’ll be in contention to fight for a world title and have my chance to achieve my childhood dream.”

At just 22-years-old, Marshall (8-0, 7 Biaya) has quickly shown the skill, power and poise to become a highly regarded prospect in just eight fights. Born in Landover, Md., and now fighting out of Capitol Heights, Md., Marshall is trained by former contender Andrew Council and has already scored two stoppages in 2023. Most recently he dominated veteran contender Justin DeLoach via third-round knockout in March, his most impressive victory to date.

“I’m really excited to be fighting at home in front of my family, friends and fans on August 12,” said Marshall. “I’m working hard every day in the gym so that when fight night comes I’m 100% and ready to put on a great performance for everyone watching. My goal is to show everyone that I belong on the big stage, and that starts with a victory over Gabriel Maestre.”

A two-time Olympian for his home country of Venezuela, Maestre (5-0-1, 4 Biaya) had an extensive amateur run that included victories over Brian Castano, Carlos Adames, Alexander Besputin, Oscar Molina and Brian Ceballo. The 36-year-old made his U.S. debut with a controversial decision victory over Mykal Fox in August 2021 before fighting fellow unbeaten Taras Shelestyuk to a draw last March. Baru-baru ini, Maestre defeated former two-division champion Devon Alexander after three rounds in April.

“I’m very ready for this fight against Travon Marshall,” said Maestre. “We are focused on the work that we need to put in so that we are victorious on August 12. I’m focused on having my hand raised and putting on a good show. We want to leave a good impression with the fans and move on to fight the big names in the welterweight division.”

CARSON, CALIF.(Mei 29, 2021) -Nonito Donaire adalah juara sekali lagi. Empat belas tahun setelah dia memenangkan gelar dunia pertamanya, “Filipino Flash” memperkuat kredensial Hall of Fame-nya dengan kemenangan KO ronde keempat yang sensasionalNordine Oubaaliuntuk merebut gelar WBC World Bantamweight Sabtu malam di acara utama SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING dari Dignity Health Sports Park di Carson, Kalif. dalam acara Premier Boxing Champions.

“Raja telah kembali,Donaire berseri-seri sesudahnya. “Saya suka keramaian. Semua temanku, keluarga, semua penggemar tinju yang keluar terima kasih banyak. Kalian luar biasa.”

Donaire berusia 38 tahun (41-6, 27 Biaya) sekarang menjadi juara dunia tertua di 118-pon. Dia menyelesaikannya dengan tangan kiri yang telah menjadi kartu panggilan karirnya saat dia menjatuhkan Oubaali (17-1, 12 Biaya) total tiga kali.

“Berada di usia ini bukanlah pertanyaannya, ini tentang kinerja saya,” kata Donaire. “Tentang kemampuanku untuk tumbuh. Saya percaya tidak masalah berapa usia Anda, tapi seberapa kuat mentalmu. Apa yang saya pelajari dari [Naoya] Pertarungan Inoue adalah aku kembali. Saya masih bisa bersaing di level ini. Sepanjang waktu saya tidak berkelahi, saya sedang belajar. Saya siap untuk yang berikutnya.”

Mengikuti ronde pertama yang terasa, Donaire pergi bekerja di detik, berjalan Oubaali ke bawah dan melawan dengan efek berdebar. Donaire mencetak knockdown pertama di awal set ketiga, menjatuhkan Oubaali dengan hook kiri counter khasnya. Orang Prancis itu bangkit dengan kaki goyah dan Donaire menerkam, mendaratkan lebih banyak pukulan besar sampai pukulan kiri lainnya menjatuhkan Oubaali hanya sepersekian detik sebelum putaran berakhir. Lagi, Oubaali berjuang untuk berdiri, linglung namun mau berjuang.

Akhir datang dengan cepat di yang keempat. Donaire dengan ahli mengarahkan Oubaali di sekitar ring, menjepitnya ke tali di mana pukulan kiri membuat Oubaali ambruk ke kanvas untuk ketiga kalinya dan terakhir. Wasit Jack Reiss segera membatalkannya. Waktu resmi penghentian adalah 1:52 dari putaran keempat.

“Tiga dekade menjadi juara dunia. Juara dunia sembilan kali. Itu luar biasa,” kata Donaire. “Saya datang ke sini dan saya merasa sangat baik. Hari ini saya tahu persis apa yang akan terjadi. Saya tahu persis apa yang akan saya lakukan. Saya pikir saya hanya sangat fokus di gym. aku sangat, sangat fokus. Saya hanya merasa sangat senang masuk dan saya bersyukur mendapatkan kesempatan ini.

“Malam ini adalah sesuatu yang harus saya buktikan kepada dunia bahwa saya kembali dan saya lebih kuat dari sebelumnya. Dia adalah pria yang sangat tangguh. Saya pikir akhirnya untuk saya, ada level haruskah aku lebih bersabar? Atau haruskah saya melakukannya?? Sesuatu yang saya pelajari dalam pertarungan Inoue adalah untuk membunuh. Dan itulah yang saya lakukan. saya sabar, tapi aku tahu dia cukup terluka sehingga aku bisa membawanya keluar.”

Dalam co-fitur, Puerto RicoSubriel Matias (17-1, 17 Biaya) memberikan tampilan pukulan kuat lainnya power, mogok sebelumnya-tak terkalahkanBatyr Jukebayev (18-1, 14 Biaya) sampai tendangan sudut Jukembayev menghentikan pertarungan setelah delapan ronde yang memukau.

“Saya pikir ini yang diharapkan semua orang. Semua orang tahu itu akan menjadi perang yang hebat,” kata Matias. “Ini akan berakhir dengan KO apakah saya akan tersingkir atau Jukembayev akan tersingkir.. Saya hanya senang saya yang menjatuhkannya.”

Matias membuktikan dirinya sebagai salah satu yang terbaik di divisi bertumpuk, tapi kemenangan terakhir ini tidak mudah. Jukebayev dari Kazakhstan keluar dengan kuat, mendaratkan kombinasi pukulan hook-kanan kanan di lantai atas dari posisi kidalnya yang menarik perhatian Matias pada awalnya.

Jukebayev mendorong kecepatan di detik. Matias mulai melepaskan tangannya di yang ketiga, melempar kombinasi ke kepala dan tubuh. Kedua kombatan sekarang sepenuhnya dihangatkan, menyiapkan panggung untuk putaran keempat yang bisa menjadi kandidat untuk “Round of the Year.”


Itu dimulai ketika sebuah hook kiri yang keras membuat Jukebayev terhuyung-huyung dan membawanya ke kanvas. Matias berusaha untuk menutup pertunjukan tetapi Jukembayev bertahan, membersihkan kepalanya dan mulai mendaratkan tembakannya sendiri. Dengan satu menit tersisa di bait, Jukembayev mengejutkan Matias dengan umpan silang kiri. Alih-alih clinching, Matias melawan api dengan api, membawa orang banyak keluar dari tempat duduk mereka dengan aksi kaki-ke-kaki sampai bel berbunyi.

Matias tidak pernah berhenti maju. Mengikuti seperenam satu sisi, Jukebayev kembali ke sudutnya dengan kedua mata bengkak tertutup. Bolak-balik terjadi di ronde ketujuh saat Jukembayev memukul Matias dengan dua hook kanan menjelang akhir ronde..

Matias kembali ke kursi pengemudi di ronde kedelapan, menggebrak Jukebayev dengan kedua tinjunya. Total, dia mengalahkan Jukebayev dengan 100 pukulan (234/608 untuk 134 /409) dan lebih akurat (38.5% untuk 32.8%). Akumulasi pukulan sudah cukup untuk meyakinkan sepak pojok Jukembayev untuk meminta pertarungan dihentikan.

“Dia tahu dia tidak akan rugi. Dia masuk dan melakukan segalanya dengan kuat,” kata Matias. “Dia tahu bahwa yang bisa dia lakukan hanyalah menjatuhkan saya untuk menang. Saya akan melakukan hal yang sama. Itu adalah hati seorang pejuang dan dia memiliki semua rasa hormat saya.

“Setelah putaran keempat itu, Maksud saya dia adalah petarung yang sangat kompetitif, jadi itu berubah menjadi perang setelah itu. Tanganku naik ke dia juga. Itu adalah pertarungan besar. Saya pasti memiliki lawan lain yang sangat bagus, tapi ini adalah salah satu yang telah memberi saya ujian terberat. ”

Di pembuka siaran, Gary Antuanne Russell (14-0, 14 Biaya) melanjutkan pendakiannya ke peringkat super ringan. Russell yang tak terkalahkan menjadi yang pertama menghentikan yang kasarJovanie santiago (14-2-1, 10 Biaya), mendominasi Santiago sampai wasit Sharon Sands menghentikan pertandingan setelah ronde keenam atas saran tendangan sudut Santiago.

“Tujuannya adalah mengeluarkan pria itu sesegera mungkin dan keluar tanpa cedera,” kata Russel. “Saya hanya ingin mengatakan bahwa Santiago adalah lawan kelas-A. Banyak orang mengira dia mengalahkan Adrien Broner. Saya ingin Adrien Broner sekarang.”

Dengan kakak laki-laki dan Juara Kelas Bulu Dunia WBC Gary Russell Jr. bekerja di sudutnya, Gary Antuanne mengendalikan aksi dari bel pembukaan opening. Itu 2016 Olympian melakukan jab dan langsung meninggalkan posisi kidal, menjentikkan kepala Santiago ke belakang beberapa kali pada awalnya.

Russell, 24, terus mendarat di kiri di yang kedua dan ketiga. Di awal keempat, dia mengikuti lurus ke kiri ke tulang rusuk dengan hook kanan pendek di lantai atas yang menjatuhkan Santiago ke lutut. Santiago dari Puerto Rico dengan gagah berani bangkit dan selamat dari serangan lanjutan untuk keluar dari ronde.

“Yang penting bagi saya adalah untuk mengeksekusi putaran demi putaran, dan putaran demi putaran, Saya mengeksekusi lebih dan lebih. Ayahku menyuruhku pergi ke tubuh, kait kanan di lantai atas. Dia terbuka untuk itu,” kata Russel.

Russell tidak menunjukkan tanda-tanda melambat meskipun diperpanjang lebih dari empat ronde untuk pertama kalinya dalam karir profesionalnya. Ketinggian Ibukota, Md. produk mengalahkan Santiago di babak keenam, mendaratkan kombinasi hukuman di seluruh frame. Beberapa saat kemudian, pertarungan dihentikan.

“Sangat penting bagi saya untuk tampil jadi saya tidak hanya dikenal sebagai adik laki-laki Gary Russell,” kata Russel, yang mendarat 146 dari 444 pukulan (32.9%). “Saya berasal dari latar belakang petarung yang luar biasa. Kami sedang membangun sebuah dinasti.

“Seberapa cepat saya ingin kembali ke ring? Jika saya bisa bertarung dengan kartu Deontay Wilder, itu akan sangat bagus.”

Berikut adalah apa yang para pejuang harus mengatakan Kamis:

NORDINE OUBAALI

"Iya nih, we’ve sparred but training is training. When you go into a fight, it’s not the same. Every fight is different and I know on Saturday I will put on a great show with Nonito Donaire because I know he’s a good boxer but I know I’m the best. I trained so hard for this and now I’m ready to fight. I want to show everybody that the best two bantamweights in boxing today are fighting on Saturday.

"Iya nih, he’s had an outstanding career and he has power but I believe I have more power than him. I know I have the power. He’s a good boxer but I’m the world champion and on Saturday I’m going to show the world who is the best. I know I am the best. I respect Nonito. He’s had a good career but I’m the best in the division.

“The difference in the fight is going to be I want to win more. I want to continue to make history and stay as the world champion in this division. I know that it’s my time. I want this more than he does.

“If I’m victorious, why not have my next fight be for the unification? I want to make history every time and this is my motivation. I’m here because I love boxing and I want to face the best boxers every time. I’m facing Nonito Donaire and that’s great for my career. I just like to fight and this is my life.”

NONITO DONAIRE

“It would be great to win the title at 38 years old and become the oldest champion at 118 pon, but let’s keep it going. Let’s make it 40. Let’s make it 42. There ain’t no stopping me. Mental, I’m very grateful but at the same time I’m just very ready.

“I’m always healthy and the reason why I can compete with anybody is because I keep myself healthy and I work hard. There’s nothing less than 100 percent every time I’m in that gym.

“I’m very hard-headed so I don’t always do what people tell me to do. People can say that it’s their time. But I also have my time and I’m always going to be the one who concedes their time or makes that decision. It’s still my time.

“It’s going to be a great fight. Oubaali is the champion for a reason. He’s been through it in terms of the amateurs and making it here. So we’re not underestimating any of that. But I’ve fought in this venue many times and I always make magical fights in the first place. It’s always going to be magical with me. I’m a unicorn.

“The difference in this fight is going to be my hunger. He’s younger than me but I have the hunger. We both have an objective and that’s what’s going to make this a great fight.

“I want to fight the best out there. I want the rematch with Naoya Inoue and I want to get all the belts. The only thing I haven’t accomplished in boxing is becoming undisputed champion. I’ve done everything else. Fighter of the Year. Knockout of the Year. Multiple championships. Four-division champion. You name it. That’s my main goal. Get the belt and put them all together.

“Bantamweight is my real weight. I’ve always fought in the heavier division because of the excitement, the challenge and the lucrative offer or the names at that time. Saat Ini, I’m here where I belong and this is where I’m really strong.

“The layoff will not be a factor at all. The time off helped me out. Just being out of the ring helped my body recover. And the eagerness and the hunger is there more than ever. It was a blessing for me.”

SUBRIEL MATIAS

“I will be his toughest test without question and come Saturday night, everybody will find out why I’m saying that.

“I believe him when he says that he has the tools to get a stoppage on Saturday. But it’s not just a matter of saying, on Saturday night he has to prove it. If it’s going to come out of your mouth, then you have to prove it.

“We’re both knockout artists and with what we’re looking at, this fight should not finish by a decision.

“I don’t have much to say about that fight against Petros Ananyan. Those that saw me lose, I lost. There’s nothing I can say about it. But those that know boxing know that I’ve been progressing and improving and you all will see that on Saturday.”

BATYR JUKEMBAYEV

“I had a great training camp. I am ready for Saturday night. I know that he’s a good fighter but I promise that I will be ready.

“We will see Saturday night whether it’s going to end in a knockout. I’ll show you what I’m made of and you will all see.”

GARY ANTUANNE RUSSELL

“I’m in the hurt business. He’s a slugger. If he wants to come in there and slug with me, he will feel my power. He will see how intelligent I am. Not just mentally, but physically with my hands. Seperti saya katakan, I’m in the hurt business. I come to hurt.

“Pardon my lack of Spanish, but what you are going to see is, ‘la violencia.’ He’s going to bring his pressure. He’s going to bring punches in bunches and I believe that’s all he can bring. If he’s been training and trying to perfect himself for my style of fighting, that’s fine. You’re not supposed to come in here one-dimensional. A diamond shines from all sides.

“The only thing I can say is this venue is going to promote blood, sweat and tears and the desire of people to be great. I’m definitely one of them. I’ve been in the gym giving my blood, my sweat and my tears and I’m bringing all of that to this venue come Saturday night.

“I definitely want to stay more active. That’s always been my plan. The pandemic slowed things down. Fans always tell me they want to see me get back in there…I just tell them, me too. The fighters aren’t the ones pulling all of the strings. Should I be more active? Tentu saja. I want to be more active.

“I want to show that I’m the cream of the crop. I’m a superstar. The light hasn’t been shining on me because there’s a lot of other things going on. Sampai saat itu, you’re going to have to wait and see. Come Saturday, it will be a great show. There will be some sparks and fireworks. I have an opponent that’s not willing to lay down. If he’s not willing to, I must make him lay down.”

JOVANIE SANTIAGO

“I know that he’s a good fighter. An Olympian. He’s young and he’s going to come fight. I’m going to come to fight too, so if the fight finishes early, then it finishes early.

“I just have to work round-by-round, throw punches and win one round at a time. After I beat Russell, everybody is going to be on my side.

“This is my weight. This is where I’m most comfortable. I’ve always been a 140-pounder and Saturday that’s what I’m going to demonstrate.

“This time, I’m fighting at my actual weight. Saya merasa kuat. I’m coming to work round-by-round and on Saturday everybody will see what I’m all about.”

Jermall Charlo to Battle Matt Korobov for WBC Interim Middleweight Championship Live in Primetime on FOX & FOX Sports

Tinggalkan komentar

Presented by Premier Boxing Champions on Saturday, Bulan Desember 22 dari Barclays Center di Brooklyn

BROOKLYN (Bulan Desember 17, 2018) – Menengah pesaing Matt Korobov has stepped up to challenge Jermall Charlo for the WBC Interim Middleweight Championship live in primetime on FOX and FOX Deportes on Saturday, Bulan Desember 22 dari Barclays Center, the home of BROOKLYN BOXING™ in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

Korobov is replacing Willie Monroe, Jr., who was removed from the main event after he tested positive for a banned substance by VADA under the WBC Clean Boxing Program. The WBC is conducting further investigation into the matter.

Korobov was due to fight on the undercard and had been training to fight December 22. He willingly stepped forward when the call came for a replacement for Monroe.

“I was well prepared for Willie Monroe, yang kidal, so there won’t be that much difference facing Korobov,” Kata Charlo. “There is a size difference. He’s taller than Monroe, but I’ll just have to adjust my game plan. The best fighters in the world are the ones who are able to make the best adjustments. Beating Korobov is going to make the victory that much sweeter due to this adversity. That means the celebration is going to be sweeter as well. He was fighting on the undercard, so he’s prepared. But now fighting for the title in the top spot is going to make him fight harder. Saya suka itu. He’s a much better opponent on paper than Willie Monroe Jr.”

“I was training to fight on this card so I am physically and mentally ready to fight,” said Korobov. “It doesn’t matter that I am taking this fight on a week’s notice because I have been preparing for this moment my entire life. I will make a few adjustments for Charlo and make the most of this opportunity. Jangan sampai ketinggalan. Make sure you tune-in to FOX for a great fight.”

The Charlo vs. Korobov bout is part of a blockbuster PBC on FOX show that features the Charlo Twins defending their world titles and a heavyweight showdown between Dominic Breazeale and Carlos Negron beginning at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT.

Jermall Charlo, who won a coin toss with his brother, will close the show in a 12-round WBC middleweight championship bout against Korobov, while Jermell Charlo will battle Tony Harrison in defense of the WBC Super Welterweight World Title.

Korobov (28-1, 14 Biaya), who was originally scheduled to face Colombia’s Juan De Angel, has an outstanding resume that includes a unanimous decision victory over current super middleweight world champion Jose Uzcategui in 2014. His lone loss came against Andy Lee in a middleweight championship fight in 2014. Korobov was ahead on all three judges’ scorecards when he was caught by a right hand from Lee that resulted in a sixth round TKO loss.

The 35-year-old southpaw is from Orotukan, Russia and now lives in St. Petersburg, Florida. As an amateur he won the European Championships in 2006 by defeating reigning undisputed cruiserweight champion Oleksandr Usyk. Dia adalah anggota dari 2008 Russian Olympic boxing team and finished his amateur career with a record of 300-12. He enters this fight with four straight victories, having most recently scored a unanimous decision over Jonathan Batista.

WILLIE MONROE JR. TRAINING CAMP QUOTES
Middleweight Contender Willie Monroe Jr. Talks Upcoming Showdown Against Jermall Charlo Saturday, Bulan Desember 22 in Premier Boxing
Champions on FOX & FOX Deportes Action from Barclays Center in
Brooklyn “I’m in my stable now and I’m ready to come flying out of the
gate on December 22,” – Monroe

ROCHESTER,NY. (Bulan Desember 4, 2018) – Middleweight contender and former title challenger Willie Monroe Jr. discussed his upcoming contest against WBC Interim Middleweight Champion Jermall Charlo as he prepares to enter the ring in Premier Boxing Champions action Saturday, Bulan Desember 22 live on FOX and FOX Deportes from Barclays Center, rumah dari BROOKLYN BOXING ™.

With fight night approaching, Monroe is hard at work in his hometown of Rochester,New York. Along with his coach Timothy Nolan, Monroe believes he is on track to deliver a great performance against an unbeaten opponent.

“Everything in camp right now is on point and moving forward,” said Monroe.”We’re getting the work we need each day. We know how to run a camp smoothly. If I can’t tell anything is wrong, then it’s going great.”

A veteran of two middleweight world title contests against Gennady Golovkin and Billy Joe Saunders, Monroe has had his eye on a Charlo matchup to once again prove himself against an elite middleweight.

“I’ve always watched Jermall’s fights because I have an eye on anyone around my weight class,” kata Monroe. “Over the last year or so I’ve started to think I’m really going to get this fight and I’m excited about it coming to fruition on December 22.

“He’s considered one of the top middleweights and it makes this a great match. This time I’m going to have a full training camp like I didn’t get to have for Golovkin and Saunders and it’s going to help me.”

While he doesn’t possess the prodigious knockout power of his opponent, Monroe is more than confident that his other ring attributes will make up for that difference.

“We’re both at the top of the division and you don’t get this far without having a lot of physical ability,” kata Monroe. “This fight isn’t about who’s the fastest and strongest though, it’s about how we’re going to execute. I’m not focused on who hits harder but who hits smarter. That’s always going to determine who wins a boxing match.

“Boxing is about intelligence first and everything follows after that. Will I be able to execute and make Jermall uncomfortable? We’ll see what happens on fight night. I’m going to be ready though. I’m in my stable now and I’m ready to come flying out of the gate on December 22.”

Charlo was serving as color commentator for Monroe’s August fight on FS1 and since then the two have gone face-to-face at two separate press events leading up to fight night. With fight week looming, Monroe believes the frequent face time will make an even more exciting fight.

“I’m definitely more eager to fight from seeing Jermall over and over again,” kata Monroe. “The little things that you pick up in person tend to make you want to fight even more. You see the opponent and you build it up more in your head and use it for motivation. I think it’s going to make it even more entertaining when we finally get in there.”

Tickets for the show, which is being promoted by Lions Only Promotions and TGB Promotions in association with DiBella Entertainment, begin at $50 and are on sale now. Tiket dapat dibeli diticketmaster.com, barclayscenter.com, atau dengan menelepon 800-745-3000. Tickets can also be purchased at the American Express Box Office at Barclays Center.

Juara Dunia Kelas Bulu Russell Jr.. Pertarungan Tak Terkalahkan Challenger Diaz Jr.. Hari Sabtu, Mei 19 Live pada SHOWTIME
Dari Pelabuhan Nasional MGM di Maryland
Klik DISINI untuk Foto dari Amanda Westcott / SHOWTIME

PELABUHAN NASIONAL, MD. (Mei 17, 2018) – WBC bulu Juara Dunia Gary Russell Jr. dan pesaing teratas tak terkalahkan Joseph “JoJo” Diaz Jr. pergi tatap muka Kamis pada konferensi pers terakhir dua hari sebelum mereka memasuki ring Mei 19 hidup di SHOWTIME (10:05 p.m. ET / PT) dalam acara utama dari MGM National Harbor di Maryland.

 

 

 

Pertempuran antara 2008 DIRI KITA. Olympian Russell Jr. dan 2012 DIRI KITA. Olympian Diaz Jr. adalah bagian dari siaran terpisah SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING yang akan menampilkan Juara Dunia Kelas Berat Ringan WBC Adonis Stevenson mempertahankan gelarnya melawan juara dunia dua divisi Badou Jack di acara utama dari Toronto.

 

 

 

Tiket untuk acara, yang dipromosikan oleh Promosi TGB sehubungan dengan Promosi Golden Boy, sedang dijual sekarang dan tersedia dengan mengunjungihttp://mgmnationalharbor.com/.

 

 

 

Kedua petarung tersebut bergabung di atas panggung oleh ayah mereka yang juga melatih mereka, dengan Gary Russell Sr. dan Joseph Diaz Sr. duduk di samping putra mereka menjelang pertandingan hari Sabtu. Inilah yang dikatakan peserta konferensi pers Kamis dari Pelabuhan Nasional MGM:

 

GARY RUSSELL JR.

 

 

 

“Kami 120 persen siap untuk pertarungan malam. Kami lapar. Selama saya memiliki tali ini, tidak ada yang masuk ke sini dan mengambilnya. Saya tahu Diaz akan memberikan yang terbaik, tapi kami siap. Talinya tetap di rumah.

 

 

 

“Saya dan adik laki-laki saya Gary Antuanne dan Gary Antonio ikut serta dan mereka akan menunjukkan pekerjaan yang telah mereka lakukan. Our dad’s birthday is the day after the fight so you know we have to make it special for him.

 

 

 

“It’s cool that both me and ‘JoJo’ are trained by our fathers. Because at the end of the day, when you look at your coach, that’s your last line of defense. When everything else goes wrong, you have to go the corner. You have to have a level of trust and belief in your corner, so who better to have than a parent there?

 

 

 

“It’s difficult for me to know if ‘JoJo’ is my toughest opponent since Vasyl Lomachenko because I never train with a lot of worry about my opponents. I think that the biggest thing is preparing myself to the best of my ability and being the best that I can possibly be.

 

 

 

“I believe in my ability to make the necessary adjustments, no matter what my opponent brings to the ring. If he wants to come in and box, we are equally as comfortable boxing long ranged as we are making the fight rugged. In order to be great at anything, you have to have a level of versatility. That’s something I bring to the table that a lot of fighters don’t bring.

 

 

 

“Diaz worked his way up the ranks to get this fight. He did everything you have to do to get in position to fight for a world title. He’s already mentioned that I’m the best fighter in the division and he knows that all the other champions in the division are afraid to step up and compete against me.

 

 

 

“Any fighter who has two months or more to prepare for one opponent is definitely dangerous. We never overlook anyone. I believe in my hand speed, my punching power, my ring generalship and in my ability to make adjustments.

 

 

 

“If we can get through this bout, I would love to get in the ring and unify with any of the other featherweight champions. The timing is perfect right now for any of these unification fights. If they still don’t want it, I’m willing to move up in weight to meet any of the guys who have a name. It’s time to make it happen.

 

 

 

“I take my hat off to him and to his team for having the guts to step into the ring. There are only certain people who can be made for this sport and it speaks volumes about him as an individual. I don’t expect anything less than a worthy opponent.

 

 

 

“It’s a pleasure being here for this fight right near my hometown. We had a very long training camp and everything is feeling good heading into the fight.”

 

JOSEPH DIAZ JR.

 

 

 

“It’s right here and around the corner. I’m very excited for the moment to be here. I’ve been waiting for this my whole entire life and I’m not going to take anything for granted. I trained extremely hard for this fight.

 

 

 

“I absolutely think Gary is overlooking me. I think he underestimated me. I’ve trained for this my whole entire life. This opportunity has been presented to me by my hard work and it’s really the opportunity of a lifetime. I can’t wait to show everybody my skills and what I’m truly about.

 

 

 

“Ini semua tentang waktu. Gary has the fastest hands in boxing but we’ve watched a lot of tape and we see a lot of flaws. Setiap petarung memiliki kekurangan. Kami hanya akan memanfaatkan apa yang kami lihat dan memanfaatkan sepenuhnya pada Sabtu malam.

 

 

 

“Saya tidak berpikir bahwa Gary tidak bertanding sejak tahun lalu akan menjadi keuntungan apa pun. Saya ingin Gary Russell Jr. untuk menjadi yang terbaik di malam pertarungan. Saya tahu bahwa saya dalam kondisi terbaik dan pendamping terbaik harus menang pada malam pertarungan. Seharusnya tidak ada alasan apa pun setelah laga ini dan setelah saya memenangkan gelar.

 

 

 

“Saya percaya setelah saya memenangkan gelar ini pada Sabtu malam bahwa saya akan berada di puncak takhta di divisi kelas bulu. Semoga saya bisa mendapatkan pertengkaran besar segera setelah itu.

 

 

 

“Saya siap untuk semua yang dia tawarkan. Dia akan keluar dan mengotak sedikit dan terlihat menggunakan pukulannya, create angles and use his speed to keep me out of range. It’s going to come to the point where he’s not going to want to move as much and he’ll starting fighting on the inside. That’s where I want to be. We’re going to deliver some great blows and may the best man win.

 

 

 

“I know what Gary Russell Jr. brings to the table. I know he’s the toughest fighter in the division but I’m ready to go out there and bring back the WBC title. I’m ready to fight the best and unify all the titles.

 

 

 

“It’s going to be fireworks on Saturday night. I’ve had a perfect training camp and I’m on weight. Everything feels great and I can’t wait to step into the ring.

 

 

 

“I’m ready for anything. If it stops early or goes the distance, I’m going to keep pushing each round more than the last.

 

 

 

“It would mean everything to win this world title. Not just for myself, but for my whole family. All the hard work and struggles that we’ve been through, it’s finally here. I’m going to do everything I can to come out victorious. Our lives are going to change and I’m going to inspire the youth and the people around me. I want people to know that if you put your mind to it, anything is possible.”

 

GARY RUSSELL SR., Russell’s Father & Pelatih

 

 

 

“The reason for the inactivity is just politics. We always have the intention on fighting but we want to find the best opponent for Gary. ‘JoJo’ is the mandatory so we’re going to fight him and after we get this win, we’re looking at Leo Santa Cruz, Abner Mares, Carl Frampton. We want to unify.

 

 

 

“Before Gary retires from the sport, he’ll move up and do whatever it takes to get a rematch with Lomachenko.

 

 

 

“We like to say that this is just Gary’s occupation. He gets paid to fight and he’s able to support his family because of that. All of the accolades don’t really mean anything to him or to us. The WBC belt is definitely the most prestigious, but like Gary said, we’re not really into the little trinkets. He would take it to the pawn shop if he could. We’re not really into those type of accolades. We just want to conduct ourselves as gentlemen, set an example and get paid.”

 

JOSEPH DIAZ SR., Diaz’s Father & Pelatih

 

 

 

“It’s a blessing to be in this position. I really believe that god didn’t bring us this far only to bring us this far. I really think the journey is going to continue. I’m very proud of my son. He has worked really hard and has shown a lot of will and determination. It means the world to me that he’s pursuing his career and is doing something that he loves doing.

 

 

 

 

“It’s exciting to finally have a fight on the east coast. It’s beautiful out here. Joseph has been wanting to fight out here and now he has that opportunity to meet some of the fans he has out here that he hasn’t had the chance to meet.

 

 

 

“Russell Jr. is a fast fighter. He’s skilled and he’s smart in there. We’ve been working on Joseph’s timing. Joseph’s a little deceiving because he kind of moves a little slow but he’s actually much faster than people think he is. The speed of Russell doesn’t affect us at all. Joseph has sparred and fought fast fighters especially in the amateurs.

 

 

 

“The plan is to go in there and beat Gary Russell up. And we’re hoping this win sets up bigger and better fights with the Santa Cruz and the Selby’s of the world. All of the champions. We’re hoping to get some of those opportunities because it will bring a lot of attention to the boxing world. Joseph will be a very good ambassador for the sport of boxing.”

 

STEPHEN Espinoza, Presiden Olahraga & Acara Programming, Showtime Network Inc.

 

 

 

“We’re thrilled to be here at MGM National Harbor. MGM is an incredible brand that means a lot in boxing. Ini adalah merek yang dikenal di seluruh olahraga di tingkat tertinggi dan kami menghargai seluruh organisasi MGM dan dukungan mereka untuk olahraga tersebut..

 

 

 

“Gary Russell Jr. vs. ‘JoJo’ Diaz yang merupakan pertarungan luar biasa. Gary tanpa pertanyaan adalah salah satu petarung paling terampil - jika bukan petarung paling terampil di divisi mana pun. Dia dikenal memiliki tangan tercepat dalam olahraga. ‘JoJo’ Diaz adalah seorang bintang muda yang saya kenal secara pribadi sejak dia menjadi profesional. Ini adalah dua pejuang aksi. Mereka adalah pejuang yang ramah penggemar yang akan memberikan aksi penuh malam.

 

 

 

“Ini adalah beberapa minggu yang menarik dalam tinju. Banyak pengumuman, usaha baru dan janji besar. Tapi di sini pada SHOWTIME kami terus melakukan apa yang telah kami lakukan, dan apa yang telah kami lakukan adalah memberikan pejuang terbaik, the biggest fights, week after week and month after month.

 

 

 

“SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING is the home of more world champions and more world championship fights than anywhere on any other network. Speaking of title fights, we’re going to have three of them, from three different countries. Di 5 p.m. ETstreaming on the SHOWTIME Facebook and Social Media platforms, we have IBF Featherweight Champion Lee Selby against challenger Josh Warrington. Di 10:05 p.m. DAN, we will have Russell Jr. vs. Diaz Jr. for the WBC Featherweight title, and immediately following that we’ll take you to Toronto for a light heavyweight world title fight between Adonis Stevenson and Badou Jack.

 

 

 

“All six of these fighters competing in Saturday’s world title fights are ranked in the top 10 of their division and have a combined record of 157 wins with only four losses.”

 

PETE BRASCIA, Senior VP of Marketing & Operations, MGM National Harbor

 

 

 

“We’re very excited to welcome these fighters and everyone involved in this event, back to MGM National Harbor. One year ago I was on a similar stage as we prepared for Gary Russell Jr. to defend his world title, and he did not disappoint his fans.

 

 

 

“The fans here in Prince George’s County and the whole region love a good show and a good fight. They love it even more when they can root on their hometown hero. Sabtu malam, akan ada yang berbeda.

 

 

 

“This will be an incredible show between Gary Russell Jr. and the undefeated Olympian ‘JoJo’ Diaz. I’m hoping for good weather Saturday night, but I’m certain we’re going to get a good show.”

(Mei 11, 2018) – Juara dunia kelas bulu Gary Russell Jr. and undefeated mandatory challenger Joseph “JoJo” Diaz Jr. met members of the media on opposite coasts on Thursday, just one week out of their WBC world title showdown on Saturday, Mei 19, from MGM National Harbor in Maryland.

 

 

 

Russell will defend his WBC title against Diaz in a split-site SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast (10:05 p.m. ET / PT) and will feature WBC Light Heavyweight World Champion Adonis Stevenson mempertahankan gelarnya melawan juara dunia dua divisi Badou Jack in a 12-round main event presented by Premier Boxing Champions from Toronto.

 

 

 

Russell was joined by his younger brothers, Gary Antuanne Russell dan Gary Antonio Russell at The Enigma Boxing Gym in Capitol Heights, Md., while Diaz took part in a workout at Azteca Gym in the City of Bell, just east of downtown Los Angeles.

 

 

 

Tickets for the MGM National Harbor show, yang dipromosikan oleh Promosi TGB sehubungan dengan Promosi Golden Boy, sedang dijual sekarang dan tersedia dengan mengunjungi http://mgmnationalharbor.com/.

 

 

 

Here’s what the fighters had to say on Thursday:

 

GARY RUSSELL JR.

 

 

 

“Sometimes you tend to magnify an event because of the fact that it’s in your hometown and it’s on a major card. It tends to take away from the true goal and the true purpose. I just need to focus on what the objective is. We never magnify the events. I think it’s cool that the neighbors and the mail lady and the people who honk their horns as they see me jogging down the street have the ability to get in their car and drive 15 minutes down the road to be a part of everything that’s going on and get to see a product of their environment.

 

 

 

“I draw my energy from my family, teman-teman saya, the true fans of Gary Russell Jr. That’s what I ultimately do it for. Regardless of what our profession is, we try to have a sense of financial stability for our families and that’s my objective as well. That’s what keeps me motivated.

 

 

 

“Diaz already made the statement that I am the best fighter in the featherweight division. He already made the statement that none of the other world champions are willing to step into the ring to compete against me. The managers and the promoters aren’t willing to put their fighters in the ring against me.

 

 

 

“I welcome the fact that Diaz wants the fight. As a world champion, I wouldn’t want or expect anything less. I want a competitor that’s ready to fight and that’s going to bring their best. I believe that he’s going to be the best that he can possibly be. My objective is to prepare myself to the best of my ability. I never really focus too much on my opponents. If Gary Russell Jr. is the best that he can be on fight night, then we’re good.

 

 

 

“I know that Diaz is young, dia lapar. He’s the number one contender. He has eight weeks to prepare for nobody else but me. That’s always a recipe for somebody who’s really going to be ready and hungry. I think he knows that he’s getting in the ring with one of the best fighters in the world so he’s going to be ready.

 

 

 

“Saya mencintai apa yang saya lakukan. Even when I’m done with the sport of boxing, I’ll still be in the gym training and looking to spar. I’ve been competing since I was seven years old. Saya akan 30, it’s a lot of time that I’ve spent grinding. I just want to be able to spend time with my family and my friends and help give back to this younger generation.

 

 

 

“I take my hat off to him for getting in the ring and making this fight happen. You have to appreciate that as a fellow warrior and as a fellow gladiator, I respect it.

 

 

 

“I have the strength, the speed, the power, cincin ahli militer, boxing IQ – all of that will come together on the 19th.

 

 

 

“I definitely see my hand speed being effective but it’s more than that. That’s just a physical attribute. What happens when you see two fighters who have an equal amount of hand speed and an equal amount of power? It’s the mindset.

 

 

 

“It’s always cool to compete with my younger brothers and share the field of battle with them. But I try not to magnify the event. The true focus is being victorious on the 19th.

 

 

 

“It’s always important to see my brothers develop, even if it wasn’t on my card. We have a concept of a dynasty. My definition of that is information being passed down from generation to generation. I feel as though when my younger brothers get to the age I am, I expect them to be better than what I am now. The sky is the limit and I want them to keep developing not just as fighters but as men.

 

 

 

“We put the city on the map. We’re bringing boxing back to the DMV area. Gervonta Davis is a fighter that I’ve watched come up through the amateurs and now he’s a world champion. Jarrett Hurd is another one that I’ve watched come up in the amateurs. He used to watch me train getting ready for the Olympics and now he’s a world champion as well. It goes to show that if you keep pushing, you stay hungry, diligent and you don’t cut corners, the sky is the limit.”

 

JOSEPH DIAZ JR.

 

 

 

“I have no hostility toward Gary Russell Jr. I respect Gary Russell Jr., and I know what he brings to the table. Ever since I was brought up as a professional fighter I was always humble and I was always down to earth. Now that I have the opportunity to become the champion that I know I can be I feel like I’m more outspoken because I know that the opportunity is finally here, and I know what I’m capable of doing.

 

 

 

“I want to fight the best at 126 pounds and I want to show all the fans that I’m the real deal. By fighting and bringing on the toughest 126 pounders like Gary Russell Jr., and defeating him, that’s going to showcase to the whole boxing world that I am the real deal and I will be the king at 126 pon.

 

 

 

“He’s been inactive and used to fighting just once a year now. But what makes him so dangerous is he’s very, very speedy and has great hand speed. And not only that but he knows how to use his hand speed and counter when guys are opening up. My father and I know what we are bringing to the table, and I’m fast, demikian juga. I have a very high boxing IQ and I’m very powerful in there. I know how to land sneaky body shots and I’m a big 126-pound fighter, and that will be the key to victory. He will try and land his power shots, but they’re not going to be effective because I’m the bigger fighter.

 

 

 

“I need to bring this WBC belt back to L.A. and to South El Monte. I’ll be the first champion coming out of there and I’m a role model to a lot of youth. That’s what makes me hungry and I’m one hundred percent confident I’ll be the champion and we will have a big parade in South El Monte, and you’re all invited!

 

 

 

“I’m like Pernell Whitaker and an Oscar De La Hoya mix. Pernell because he’s fast and Oscar because he applies the pressure and throws combinations. That’s what I plan on bringing to this fight. Applying the pressure and taking him to a point where he’s never been before. He drops his hands a lot and his defense is not that good, so I’ll be taking advantage of that. I’ll be landing body shots, and let’s see if he can take it for 12 putaran.

 

 

 

“This is an opportunity of a lifetime. Fighting for a world title against Gary Russell Jr., is a dream come true. I feel like I’m so much better a fighter now than I was at the Olympics. If feel like if I fought that kid who was in the Olympics now I’d stop him in the first round. My management and trainers have groomed me for this fight on May 19. I fought some undefeated fighters, some experienced fighters and some real live dogs. I just feel like all the experience I’ve gained in the past will serve me well.

 

 

 

“I’d like to fight all the best in the 126-pound division, Leo Santa Cruz, Abner Mares, Oscar Valdez and Lee Selby. These are big fights that I really want to make and I want to fight the best and be the best.”

GARY ANTONIO RUSSELL

 

 

 

“We’re in the ring with Gary every day, so we see a lot of things that other people don’t. People only judge him for his hand speed and are just starting to recognize his power, but nobody has seen his full potential yet. No fighter he has faced has forced him to bring it out.

 

 

 

“Diaz doesn’t know what he has coming for him. Most fighters are one-dimensional. Gary is comfortable fighting anyway. He can fight on the inside, the outside, he can counter, he can box you, JoJo Diaz does not know what to expect.

 

 

 

“There’s never a time when we’re in the gym together when we’re not critiquing each other and learning. That’s the whole point of being in the gym every day. Once you feel you’re learning has stopped, I think you should give it up. We’re always in here trying to sharpen our game.”

GARY ANTUANNE RUSSELL

 

 

“It’s more enjoyable fighting with my brothers. As a child, if you had three kids and one of them went to school by himself, it would be a little rough. It’s great having that support and the comfort having your brothers on the same card.

 

 

 

“We try to gravitate towards our brother and take certain things from him. We notice his hand speed and we’re his younger brothers, of course we have that alter ego where we think we could be faster than him or hit harder than him. That competitiveness drives us. It’s always there.”

 

GARY RUSSELL SR.

 

 

 

“The camp has been good. We’ve been getting the work in. Everybody seems to be on point. We’re always in camp together.

 

 

 

“JoJo Diaz has a lot of confidence. All fighters pretty much all do the same thing, unless they have incredible physical attributes that make them stand out. JoJo believes in himself and that’s something that’s a plus for any fighter. Whether or not he’s ready to go out of his shell, yang masih harus dilihat. He loves his left hand, he tries to go to the body. He impressed me as a good inside fighter.

 

 

 

“This is a huge plus for us. We’re only 15 minutes from home. We just get to do what we have to do and go home.

 

 

 

“Antonio is a really hard puncher. A lot of people don’t know it, but for that weight class, he hits extremely hard. Antuanne is starting to develop into a complete fighter. He’s always learning. You never get to the point where you have it all, it’s a constant growth but he’s really starting to understand the technical aspects of the sport. I’m happy with both of them.”
