“Skill vs. Sal”

LEEF OP BETAALPER-UITSIG–FRIDAY FEBRUARY 17TH
Wilmington, DE (Februarie 16, 2017)–Below are quotes from Wednesday’s press conference in advance of Friday night’s “Skill vs. Sal” Pay-Per-View showdown between Roy, Jones, Jr. and Bobby Gunn.
Roy Jones jr.
On Bobby Gunn as an opponent:
“The thing I stand for and respect and represent – I love a person who won’t quit, en [Bobby Gunn] won’t quit for nothing. Hy het 72 wen met 72 uitklophoue – bare-knuckle – you’re really a professional bully! You just beat people up for the hell of it… It’s what I love. People ask why I’m so motivated to fight Bobby Gunn – it’s because what I stand for in boxing, he is in bare-knuckle. I respect that.”
On the opportunity to be in the ring on Friday:
“We are getting an opportunity to share the ring, and entertain the people while we share the ring, and I am at-heart an entertainer. And this man is a killer. I’m not saying that this man is not a killer, it’s just that I trust in my abilities to go out and do things differently because that’s who I am.”
On his conditioning:
“I am in very good shape for the first time in four or five years. I feel better than I have felt in a long time. I know I have my hands full, and I know my hands are ready for battle. I know this man is coming to bring it. But that’s what we live for; that’s what we love. Come Friday night be ready for a very entertaining fight.”
Bobby Gunn


On Roy Jones Jr. as an opponent:
I’m born and bred a fighting man, since birth. I’m fighting one of the greatest fighters who ever lived. I’ve seen a lot of horsesh!t on the Internet, people running him down. Saying he’s too old, this or that. Why don’t you guys get in the ring and fight him, dan? Let me tell you something right now – I respect him more today than [the fighter he was] 20 jaar gelede. Because he’s more dangerous, he’s cagey, he’s a veteran. There’s nothing you can do to him he hasn’t seen.”
On his mental and physical condition coming into the fight:
“I’m coming here to fight my guts out. I’m in good shape. I’ve been training hard for this one for a long time – this man’s been in my head a long time. I go to sleep with Roy, and I wake up with Roy. He’s part of my family, we’re sick of talking about Roy. I can’t wait to see him Friday night and get it over with! I’m coming here to fight.”
On critics of the matchup:
“In a few days here, me and Roy are going to battle. We’re doing to prove a lot of critics wrong, a lot of doubters. When that bell rings, it’s only me and him in there. Om eerlik te wees met jou, critics mean zero. Their opinions mean nothing… [Roy Jones jr] said he’d come and fight me, and he’s here. He has the heart of the lion. But we’re going to get it down. I’ll shake your hand today, but I’ll tell you [to Jones Jr.] we’re in for a good fight, both of us. Roy Jones won’t forget my name for the rest of his life.”

ANDRE WARD, Twee keer wêreldkampioen en top-gegradeerde pond-vir-pond vegter:

"Ek wil almal bedank vir uit te kom soos gewoonlik. Die Bay Area is 'n pragtige plek. Ons het nie dikwels genoeg krediet vir die talent wat kom uit hier, maar vir die fan base, dit is geweldige. Ek is net dankbaar vir die feit dat van 'n plek soos hierdie en dankbaar teenoor die liefde en ondersteuning aan elke gebeurtenis wat ons hier te bring het. Ek is dankbaar dat ek en ouens soos Marshawn Lynch, Damian Lillard en die Warriors het hierdie plek op die kaart en mense neem kennis van die nasionale stadium. Dit is regtig vir my belangrik.

 

"So ver as die stryd self, Dit is baie eenvoudig vir my ... niemand wat my ken, hulle weet hoe ek te werk en hulle weet hoe ek merk. Ek weet nie vasgevang in wat volgende. Ek weet nie gevang kry in wat mense sê. Ek is bewus van wat gesê word. Ek weet wat my teenstander is gesê en ek neem hom op sy woord. Ek het alles wat ek veronderstel is om te doen, soos ek altyd doen en soos ek die laaste gedoen het 10 jare van my loopbaan. Ek het geneem oor die beste ... as dit nie 'n ander kampioen dan is dit 'n top mededinger ... en dit is nie anders nie. Julle weet net dat ek gefokus en toegesluit in soos ek altyd am. Ek is bereid en ek is gereed vir 'n oorlog kom Maart 26."

DAVID ITSKOWITCH, COO Boxing - Roc Nasie Sport:

"Twee van die top lig swaargewigte op die planeet sal bots op Maart 26. Hulle het 'n gekombineerde rekord van 45-0 met 27 Uitklophoue en nodeloos om te sê, nie het nederlaag geproe as 'n professionele. Terwyl elkeen het 'n gedugte teenstander in die voorkant van hom, Hulle het albei hul oë op Sergey Kovalev en sy drie wêreldtitel gordels, Maar eers moet hulle sake om aandag te gee Saterdag nag.

 

"Wanneer ek uitkom om Oakland vir 'n gebeurtenis en ek is met André by 'n funksie waar hy praat met die media, Dit lyk my dat natuurlik, Hy is 'n spesiale talent atleties, maar hy is ook 'n spesiale persoon en ek hoop dat almal hier in Oakland verstaan ​​en waardeer wat. Hy is 'n beginselvaste familie man wat altyd probeer om die regte ding te doen en dit is iets wat skaars is in die lewe deesdae, maar dit is veral skaars in sport. Ek hoop julle ouens hom waardeer. Boks loopbane nie vir ewig. Hy gaan nie vir ewig veg, sodat almal moet waardeer wat jy het hier in Andre Ward.

 

"André vasgevang n goue medalje by die Olimpiese Spele in Athene en is die laaste VS. bokser om dit te doen. Sy lys van oorwin vyande lees soos 'n wie's wie van die super middelgewig-afdeling. Hy het ook oorheers en uitgeslaan voormalige lig swaargewig-wêreldkampioen, Chad Dawson in hul 2012 konfrontasie. In sy laaste stryd, Hy oorheers twee keer wêreldkampioen titel uitdager Paul Smith op Junie 20 by Oracle Arena. Hy begin met die volgende hoofstuk van sy loopbaan op Maart 26, terug te keer na Oracle Arena weer, as hy sy skuif na die lig swaargewig-afdeling gereed om te doen wat hy gedoen het in die super middelgewig-afdeling ... skoonmaak dit uit en oorheers almal wat uitstaan ​​in sy weg. "

NICOLE DOVE, Vise-president van bemarking en General Counsel - hoofgebeure:

"Ek wil graag dankie sê André Ward. Hy het nie op 'n onoorwonne vegter in sy eerste geveg teen lig swaargewig te neem, maar hy het dit gedoen en ek dink dit is prysenswaardig.

 

"In sy laaste stryd, Sullivan het die verpligte aanspraakmaker op Sergey Kovalev se IBF gordel. Hy kon terug gesit en wag vir sy titelgeveg, maar in plaas daarvan het hy die stryd teen Andre Ward as 'n geleentheid om werklik te bereik vir grootheid en hy het gedoen. Soos julle almal weet, Hoofgebeure en Roc Nasie Sport het groot planne vir Andre Ward en Sergey Kovalev later vanjaar en Sullivan Barrera kan regtig ontsteld dat appel kar.

 

"Albei hierdie mans, Sullivan en Andre, het alles ry op die uitkoms van Saterdag se stryd. In die klimaat wat ons teenoor boks nou, Dit is verfrissend om ware krygers wat nie bang is om risiko's te neem sien. Hulle het albei verdien ons respek en bewondering vir daardie. Dit is wat ons sport moet wees oor.

 

"Sullivan Barrera is onoorwonne met 'n rekord van 17-0 met 12 wen kom by wyse van uitklophou. Hy het net omgedraai 34, n maand gelede, wat jy dink 'n bietjie oud vir hierdie punt in sy loopbaan. Wat jy dalk nie weet nie, is dat hy 'n suksesvolle amateur loopbaan in Kuba en dan verloor 'n paar jaar van sy eerste terwyl hy ontsnap na die Verenigde State van Amerika. Hy kom 'n baie lang pad om vandag hier te wees vir hierdie oomblik en die geleentheid. Hy is honger, Hy is vol vertroue en hy is gereed. "

VIRGIL HUNTER, Andre Ward se afrigter:

"Dit is 'n fantastiese kaart met fantastiese atlete wat probeer om hul plek te maak in die wêreld van die boks. As hierdie stryd plaasvind in enige ander stad, Dit sou 'n groot gebeurtenis.

ROBERT DIAZ, Hoof Pasmaats - Golden Boy Promotions:

"Dit is duidelik dat die hoofren spreek vanself. Jy het Andre Ward teenoor 'n jong onoorwonne ou soos Sullivan Barrera, maar die mede-hoofren gaan put twee jong, honger vegters teen mekaar in Jayson Velez en Joseph Diaz. Hulle is jonk. Hulle is albei bereid op die beste gevegte te neem, die moeilikste gevegte en 'n bewys van dit is hoe maklik dit is om hierdie stryd te maak.

 

"Ek is baie opgewonde oor hierdie stryd. Jy wil nie die mis 10 rondes vir die NABF titel.

"Jayson Velez is 'n jong, Hungry Lion wat wil terug te kry op die stadium en weet hoe belangrik 'n sege oor Joseph Diaz is. Hy verstaan ​​die geleentheid om te veg op HBO en op hierdie geweldige kaart. Ek wil jou herinner aan die karakter van Jayson Velez. In 'n dag en ouderdom waar 'n vegter wat verloor wil dalk 'n comeback of beurt neem, of twee of drie, voordat hulle 'n hoë-risiko stryd en Jayson Velez doen dit direk na. Dit wys hy wil terug op die top te kry en hy weet wat hy moet doen om daar te kom ... dit moet wees deur te stop 'n top-vlak vegter soos Josef Diaz. "

RALPH Heredia, bestuurder Joseph Diaz se:

 

"Dit is 'n eer om hier te wees, 'n groot geleentheid en voorreg van die geleentheid gebruik om ten toon te stel 'n talentvolle gegee word, 2012 Olimpiese. Josef, dit is wat ons het gepraat oor, dankie vir die feit dat die pasiënt, is jy gereed vir die geleentheid. Ons weet wat 'n spesiale jong man en talentvolle man jy is, maar nou is die hele wêreld sal kom om te sien op die groot verhoog wat 'n talent, wat 'n ware gentleman en wat 'n vegter moet wees ... soos Josef Diaz.

 

"Wat kan ek sê oor Jayson Velez? Hy is 'n man wat weet wat is op die spel en het ondervinding. Glo my, jy nie wil hê om dit te mis. Saterdag, jy moet inskakel. Dit gaan 'n aksiebelaaide stryd wees. "

 

 

JOSE "Dit WAT" SANCHEZ, Jayson Velez se afrigter:

"Ek sien Diaz as 'n groot vegter, maar ek het Jayson in baie goeie toestand en hy is gereed vir die stryd. Ek weet dit gaan 'n goeie stryd wees, want hulle is gereed, en dieselfde ding is waar vir my vegter Jayson Velez. Hy het baie hard gewerk vir hierdie stryd en ek weet hy is gereed vir die stryd. "

 

 

TONY WALKER, Direkteur, HBO Sport:

"Namens ons Uitvoerende vise-president Petrus Nelson, Ons is baie gelukkig om hier te wees in die Bay Area, met 'n groot menigte en 'n groot boks fans, as ons kyk na u hierdie doubleheader bring Saterdag nag.

 

"Dit is nie maklik om saam te trek 'n groot boksgeveg en hierdie spanne het saam getrek 'n groot kaart van bo na onder, sodat selfs al al die gevegte nie sal wees op HBO, As jy wil 'n paar groot boks kyk, gaan na Oracle Arena en as jy by die huis, check dit uit op HBO.

 

"Dwarsdeur ons 43 jaar van ontwikkeling op HBO, Boks was nog altyd 'n integrale deel van wat ons doen nie. Ons het nog altyd geroem onsself op met die beste vegters en die beste wedstryde, en ons voel baie goed dat hierdie tradisie weer sal hou as Andre Ward maak sy 2016 debuut in die ring. In die bokskryt, Dit was nog nooit aanbeveel dat jy vergeet 'n honger, onoorwonne vegter soos ons in Sullivan Barrera, so ek wil graag Sullivan welkom om die netwerk en bedank hom vir die neem van hierdie uitdaging.

 

"Die opening van die TV-uitsending sal wees Joseph Diaz teen Jayson Velez, twee up-and-coming jong ouens, twee jong gewere, wat dink hulle is gereed vir die groot verhoog. Alles in ag geneem, Dit gaan 'n groot uitsending wees, 9:45 PM ET Ons belowe jou 'n insiggewende en vermaaklike aand met ons uitsending span. "

NABF veergewigkampioen Joseph "Jojo" Diaz Jr. (19-0, 11 Uitklophoue) en top-gegradeerde veergewigtitel aanspraakmaker Jayson "Star" Velez (23-1-1, 16 Uitklophoue) was ook teenwoordig tydens die oefensessie voor hul 10-ronde NABF veergewigtitel stryd wat sal oopmaak om die HBO uitsending.

 

Na SHADOW in die ring en 'n paar rondtes op die pons sakke, al vier vegters deelgeneem aan onderhoude met die media lede teenwoordig. Super Bowl-kampioen en Oakland moedertaal Marshawn Lynch, 'n ywerige Andre Ward ondersteuner, het 'n spesiale verskyning tydens die oefensessie ter ondersteuning van Wyk.

 

Hieronder is wat die vegters te sê gehad het tydens die finale media oefensessie:

 

ANDRE WARD, Twee keer wêreldkampioen en top-gegradeerde pond-vir-pond vegter:

"Ek voel goed en ek is gereed om saam. Ek is 'n hoogtepunt op die regte tyd. Ek is net opgewonde om dit te kry Saterdagnag.

 

"Ek gebruik om te ry deur Oracle Arena op 880 soos 'n kind op pad na King's Gym en wonder of ek kan dit daar moet julle dit op 'n dag en [afrigter] Virgil [Hunter] gebruik om met vertroue sê, 'Jy gaan kop daar. "Soos ek ouer geword het, Ek gebruik om te gaan na 'n paar van die kaarte sit in die arena. Ek was nog 'n amateur en ek wil net droom. Volgende ding wat jy weet, in 2009, Ek was in 'n wasbak of swem stryd teen Edison Miranda. As ek gewen, Daar was waarskynlik 'n goeie kans dat ek 'n titel geskiet sou kry en die res is geskiedenis. Hier is ons weer, dit is my 7ste tyd by Oracle en dit is nog steeds 'n seën.

 

"Dit was die regte tyd om te skuif na die lig swaargewig. Dit was 'n kombinasie van nie met die regte ouens te veg of ouens wat nie wil hê ek moet veg. Ek wil groot wees. Dit is die tipe bewegings wat jy hoef te maak. Ek is 'n student van die sport en toe ek studeer die sport, dit is wat grotes altyd gedoen. Hulle beweeg op. Die grotes vind 'n manier om dit te doen en ek wil wees in daardie gesprek.

 

"Barrera is 'n groot liggaam. Hy is vol vertroue. Lyk na 'n goeie ponser wees. Ons het hom nie haal, want hy is 'n sagte aanraking. Ons het hom, want hy is van plan om my gereed te kry en wys my wat hierdie gewig klas is alles oor. As jy kyk na my loopbaan, daar is 'n plek vir tune-ups wat ek nie baie gehad het. Jy wil die beste te veg en as jy nie die stryd teen die beste, jy wil die nommer een aanspraakmaker veg. Dit is wat ons doen.

 

"Ek dink ek ontwikkel in 'n doeltreffende vegter. Ek beweeg toe ek het om te beweeg. Ek dink dit is die skoonheid van 'n atleet wat nie sy liggaam nie misbruik en neem regtig sy handewerk ernstig. Ek het 'n paar artikels wat beweer ek my eerste gemis gesien. Dit is mal vir my. Ek voel dat ek so goed soos wat ek nog ooit gewees het. Ek het in 'n boks gym het sonder veel van 'n onderbreking vir die afgelope 20 jaar. My brein het my bedank vir die afgelope twee jaar. My liggaam het my bedank. Dit mag dalk vir my gee nog twee jaar in my loopbaan.

 

"Ek moet net my. Wie ek is genoeg. Ek het nie om te wys vir Kovalev in die skare Saterdagnag. Ons moet net die spel te implementeer. Ek dink dit gaan die boodskap wat dit veronderstel is om te stuur stuur en as dit nie gebeur nie, Dan sal hy [Kovalev] kry die boodskap wanneer ons veg.

 

"As ek nie hierdie stryd te wen, daar is niks in die pad af. As ek nie hierdie stryd te wen, Ek verdien nie om te veg vir die titel. Dit is die realiteit van my situasie.

 

"Barrera het nooit geveg 'n man soos ek voor, sodat hulle kan 'n goeie wedstryd te praat. Hulle kan oorheers die nuus in die aanloop tot die stryd. Hulle kan sê al die gladde dinge wat hulle wil sê. Ons wil net die hoofopskrifte oorheers Sondag oggend na die stryd is verby. Dit is wat ek is gefokus op. "

 

SULLIVAN Barrera, Nommer een gegradeerde IBF lig swaargewig aanspraakmaker:

"Ek is sterker as Ward. Ek het die Kubaanse agtergrond en ek het baie geleer van vaardighede is daar. Meer as enigiets, die vasberadenheid om iets voor my oorkom sal my help verslaan Wyk op Maart 26.

 

"Sodra ek in die ring, dit is my huis.

 

"Wat ook al Ward het, Ek sal pas by dit en oorwin dit.

 

"Ek het twee hande. Hy het twee hande. Ek het 'n werk om te doen op Maart 26.

 

"Ek weet Wyk en Kovalev is baie hoogs gerespekteerde en hulle maak 'n klomp geld en 'n groot belangstelling, maar hulle weet nie wat Sullivan Barrera in staat is om te doen. Ek sal bewys dat Saterdag.

 

"Ek is nie regtig 'n man wat om te kyk vir 'n uitklophou. My boks vaardighede spreek vanself. Ek veg Andre Ward en veg hier in Oakland, so ek dink nie 'n besluit geneem sal word gelewer in my guns.

 

"Aan al die ondersteuners, veral die Kubaanse ondersteuners wat ondersteun my asseblief weet wat kom Saterdag, Ek gaan alles wat ek moet doen om die oorwinning behaal uit te kom doen. "

JOSEPH DIAZ JR., NABF veergewigkampioen:

"Ek kan nie verwag dat wat Jayson het om Ronny Rios gedurende hierdie stryd. Ek het om daar te gaan, toets hom uit en pas toe ek in die ring.

 

"As die geleentheid hom voordoen waar hy seergemaak en ek sien dat my stoot hom is oorweldigend, dan natuurlik gaan ek daar uit te kom, wees aggressief en maak seker ek hom uithaal so vroeg as moontlik.

 

"Ek weet om aan die binnekant, af te sny die ring en neem dit na die liggaam dadelik sal hom breek. Dit gaan om hom te laat nie soveel beweeg en later in rondes Ek kan kwaai slae grond aan die hoof. Ek gaan dit dadelik na die liggaam.

 

"Verstandelik ek 100% gereed. Dit is 'n groot stap in my loopbaan, so ek geestelik gefokus. Ek is goed voorberei. Ek voel soos hierdie is die oomblik het ek gewag het vir my hele hele lewe. Ek voel asof ek gereed vir hierdie en ek kan nie wag vir Maart 26. Ek opgelei baie hard vir hierdie stryd en ek is goed voorbereid vir dit.

 

"Ek wil regtig 'n verklaring gesê die stryd te maak. Ek wil die wêreld gehad, dat Josef Diaz die volgende groot ding in boks kan wys, so ek opgelei baie hard aan 'n groot stryd vir die stryd aanhangers te sit, wees baie aggressief en maak dit 'n oorlog in daar. Ek hoop dat Jayson Velez is 110% gereed, want ek wil hê hy moet wees op sy beste.

 

"As ek wen hierdie stryd en maak 'n verklaring, Ek dink ek kan skuif na aanspraakmaker status en hopelik kry 'n wêreldtitel geskiet teen die einde van vanjaar. Ek wil taai teenstanders veg vanjaar, want ek wil die wêreld wat ek wys.

 

"Ek voel soos 'n dier wanneer ek stap in die ring en ek kan dit sien in sparring. Wanneer ek landing effektiewe waai, Ek kan jou vertel dat ek seer het my teenstander. "

Jayson Velez, Top-gegradeerde veergewigtitel aanspraakmaker:

"Op my vlak, Elke ou is 'n top-aanspraakmaker. Ek moet harder oefen en die verbetering van my verdediging. Ek het gewerk op daardie.

 

"As jy kyk na my laaste drie of vier gevegte, sal jy sien dat ek oorheers in die eerste paar rondtes en dan loop ek uit gas, Ek is besig met my stamina sodat nie sal gebeur op Maart 26.

 

"Ek het Diaz se gevegte gesien. Ons het 'n paar keer sparred. Hy het spoed. Hy het 'n hongersnood. Dis sy HBO debuut, sodat hy beslis gemotiveer, maar so is ek. Dit gaan 'n groot stryd wees.

 

"Ek wil kampioen van die woord wees. Ek weet hy wil dit ook. Op Saterdag, ons sal weet wie wil dit meer. Ons het albei wil om te wen en ons is albei opleiding vir 'n oorwinning. 'N stryd tussen krag en spoed is 'n groot wedstryd-up. Om nie te praat hy Mexikaanse en ek is Puerto Rikaanse. Jy kan verwag dat 'n groot stryd en dit is nie een wat jy wil misloop nie. "

Op Maart 26, NABO Junior Welterweight Champion Maurice “Mighty Mo” Hooker (19-0-2, 14 Uitklophoue) risks his unbeaten record against Wilfrido “La Roca” Buelvas (17-5, 11 Uitklophoue) of Barranquilla, Colombia in a ten-round junior welterweight bout. Hooker, rated number seven by the WBO, is coming off of a career-best win on October 17, 2015 against his toughest opponent to date in Ghislain Maduma (17-2, 11 Uitklophoue) by Madison Square Garden. Hooker successfully defended his NABO title with the 10-round decision win over Maduma on the undercard of Gennady Golovkin vs. David Lemieux in a fight that was featured on the event’s “freeview” in the United States and streamed online around the world. Buelvas, a former WBA Fedebol champion, has won two of his last three bouts by knockout and fought Humberto Soto for the WBC Silver International Super Lightweight title in 2014, going the 12-round distance before losing a decision to the former World Champion.

 

Born and raised in Oak Cliff, Texas, a rough suburb of Dallas, Hooker found a boxing home at Maple Avenue Boxing Gym by way of an outreach program for at-risk youths. His natural talent was soon noticed resulting in him competing as an amateur, during which time he participated in over 100 gevegte, compiling a record of 97 oorwinnings en slegs 7 verliese, met 67 victories coming by way of knockout. Hooker turned professional on April 29, 2011, taking on the vastly more experienced Tyrone Chatman (7-1, 5 KO se) at the Orpheum Theater in St. Louis. After four rounds, the judges saw the fight 40-36, 37-39 en 38-38, making the fight a split draw. Onbelemmerd, in his next fight on June 24, 2014, Hooker scored his first professional win, knocking out Wilbert Mitchell in the first round at the Dr. Pepper Arena in Frisco, Texas. Eleven wins (eight by knockout) later, he took on undefeated Abel Ramos (8-0, 4 KO se) Januarie 17, 2014 in a bout that was featured on ShoBox from the Cook Convention Center in Memphis. After eight close, hard-fought rounds, the judges saw the fight a draw. Hooker followed the draw with a six-round unanimous decision win over Adrian Rodriguez Garza (8-2, 6 KO se) op April 26 at Fitzgerald’s Casino and Hotel in Tunica, Mississippi. Four consecutive knockout victories would follow before he took on fellow undefeated prospect Eduardo Galindo (10-0-1, 7 KO se) Junie 26, 2015 at the Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center in Dallas for the vacant NABO Junior Welterweight Championship. “Mighty Mo” did not disappoint his legion of hometown fans who saw him capture the title with a sixth round technical knockout victory.

 

Hailing from Rancho Cucamonga, Kalifornië en veg uit die boks broeikas van Oxnard, onoorwonne Daniel "Twitch" Franco (12-0-3, 7 KO se) meets Mexican veteran German “Panteonero” Meraz(52-37-1, 30 Uitklophoue) in an eight-round featherweight bout on Maart 26. Featured for the second time on a Ward undercard, the sharp-boxing Franco will look to improve on his undefeated record against an opponent with literally six times his pro boxing experience. Meraz is only 29 years old but has already logged an amazing 90 professional bouts and has won four of his last six fights by knockout. He has fought current World Champion Juan Carlos Payano, Three-Time U.S. Olympian Rau’shee Warren and highly-touted prospect Gervonta Davis, going the distance with all three.

 

Franco began boxing at the age of eight, amassing 'n amateur rekord van 67-15, wen die kampioenskap in Oxnard PAL 2006 en die California State Silver Gloves Championship in 2007 langs die pad. Gedurende professionele debuut Franco se Desember 18, 2010, verslaan hy Emanuel Machorro by Club 401 in Ontario, California via 'n derde ronde tegniese uitklophou. Ondanks die feit dat ingeskryf as 'n voltydse student by Chaffey College in Rancho Cucamonga, Franco beïndruk vroeg in sy loopbaan, die opstel van 'n onoorwonne rekord met twee trek in plekke in Kalifornië teen die einde van 2013. Een van dié trekkings het teen Alejandro Ochoa rustige kanon in Montebello, Kalifornië op September 20, 2013, but in a rematch three months later, Franco gaan wen Ochoa scoring 'n ses-round eenparig besluit oorwinning in Westin Bonaventure Hotel in Los Angeles. Op Junie 20, 2015, during Ward’s return to the ring at Oracle Arena, Franco saw action in an eight-round junior lightweight bout against Jonathan Alcantara and won by unanimous decision. A hand injury suffered in that bout kept Franco out of action until Desember 21when he scored a decision victory over Hector Garcia in Tijuana, Mexiko.

 

A promising unbeaten prospect from Salinas, Kalifornië, Rudy “The Revelation” Puja. Jr. (7-0, 6 Uitklophoue)looks to extend his undefeated streak against Carlos “Kalimba” Lozano (7-5, 4 Uitklophoue) van Ensenada, Mexico in a six-round middleweight bout. Puga turned in a career-best performance in his last match-up on February 12 in knocking out Alejandro Osuna (4-2, 2 KO se) in two rounds at the Double Tree Hotel in Ontario, Kalifornië. Nou, just a little over a month later, “The Revelation” will step into the ring against a tough opponent in Lozanao, a southpaw who has never been stopped and already has a ten-round decision victory under his belt.

 

Having compiled an exceptional amateur record of 99-8, Puga made his professional debut on September 2, 2011, scoring a fourth round technical knockout victory over Raul Talamontes at the Sports Complex in his hometown. Back in the ring less than two months later, Puga Jr. raised his record to 2-0 with a first round technical knockout of Jose Jesus Hurtado at the Sherwood Inn in Salinas. In Junie 2012, he sent Thomas Turner to the mat four times in scoring a second round technical knockout win at the Joint at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. After a little more than a year away from the ring, he rededicated himself to the “sweet science” with a vengeance and on February 17, 2014, Puga Jr. made his comeback stopping Charon Spain in the third round with an overpowering body shot at the Salinas Storm House in his native Salinas. Promotional issues kept Puga Jr. out of the ring for the next year and injuries led to a slow 2015, but Puga Jr. scored a a fourth round technical knockout win over of Katrell Straus on April 24 and a six-round unanimous decision over Juan Carlos Rojas on November 21, both fights taking place at the Double Tree Hotel in Ontario, Kalifornië.

 

Brooklyn’s 20-year-old, onoorwonne Junior “The Young God” Younan (7-0, 6 KO se) keer terug na die ring op Maart 26 after a nine-month layoff to take on Cristian Solorzano (4-7, 3 Uitklophoue) van Sonora, Mexico in a four-round super middleweight fight. Younan has battled multiple nagging injuries since scoring a second round technical knockout victory over Mike Sawyer on the Miguel Cotto vs. Daniel Geale undercard on June 6, 2015 by Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Nou 100 percent healthy, Younan looks to make Solozano his third straight knockout victim. Solorzano, a naturally bigger fighter, has campaigned in the light heavyweight division and is coming off of a knockout win.

 

Younan, trained by his father Sherif, a former professional boxer himself, began fighting competitively at age eight and only two years later was called a “boxing prodigy” by the New York Times. He compiled an amateur record of 90-5, racking up an impressive series of titles along the way including nine Junior Olympic championships, nine Junior Metro championships, eight New York State Silver Gloves championships and five Regional Silver Gloves championships. In 2011, he was crowned National Junior Golden Gloves champion and was U.S.A. Boxing’s number one rated junior boxer in his weight class. Less than a month after his 18ste verjaarsdag, Younan made his professional debut on November 9, 2013, at the Aviator Sports and Events Center in Brooklyn, New York, stopping Kenneth Schmitz in the first round. Younan would go on to knockout his next three opponents before going the distance for the first time against Azamat Umarzoda on July 2, 2014 op Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut. He followed that fight with a first round knockout of Marlon Farr on Augustus 13 the BB King Blues Club and Grill in New York on Augustus 13.

Chinese heavyweight Zhang “Big Bang” Zhilei (7-0, 4 Uitklophoue) joins the undercard on Maart 26 in a four-round bout against an opponent yet to be determined. The Silver Medalist from the 2008 Beijing Olympics continues to infuse excitement into the heavyweight division and is coming off of a first round technicalknockout win over David Koswara on February 20 at the Lanzhou Sports Arena in Lanzhou, China.

 

Born on May 2, 1983 in Henan, Zhang began his amateur career in 2003, participating in the World Championships. A breakthrough came in 2007 at the World Championships where Zhang defeated the trio of Nurpais Torobekov, Rustam Rygebayev and Daniel Beahan en route to the semifinals where he lost to Ukrainian Vyacheslav Glazkov. By capturing a bronze medal and finishing the competition in third place, he qualified for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. The Chinese powerhouse nearly reached the zenith of amateur success in the summer of 2008, entering the super heavyweight finals at the Summer Olympics in Beijing against Italy’s Roberto Cammarelle. It was not to be as Zhang suffered his first defeat of that Olympiad, losing to Cammarelle, but proudly adding to the host country’s medal total with a Silver. In 2009, Zhang captured a gold medal at the China National Games, an event of equal prestige to the Olympics in China. 2013 saw yet another gold medal winning performance in the China National Games, setting the stage for “Big Bang” to embark on a professional career while basing himself in the United States. Op Augustus 8, 2014, Zhang made his professional debut by scoring a first-round knockout win over Curtis Lee Tate in Fallon, Nevada in a fight that was televised live on ESPN2. Maart 14, 2015, Zhang beat Eric George via a four-round unanimous decision at the Armory in Jersey City, New Jersey. He followed that with another four-round unanimous decision win, this time over Glenn Thomas on the highly anticipated Cotto-Geale undercard at Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Junie 6. Next came a sixth round technical knockout win over Dennis Benson at The Playground in Atlantic City on Augustus 15. To end the year, Zhang was featured on the undercard of the November 21 Cotto vs. Canelo mega-fight at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, where scored a four-round unanimous decision victory over Juan Goode.

 

Plaaslike Hayward, California gunsteling Aaron Coley (12-1-1, 6 KO se) faces a very stern test in a six-round junior middleweight bout against Gevolg Ryskeldiev (11-3-2, 7 Uitklophoue) of West Hollywood, Kalifornië, a Kyrgyzstan native who is undefeated in his last seven fights.

 

Op Maart 26, Coley will look follow his most recent victory, a unanimous decision over Jeremy Ramos onJanuarie 23 at the Marriott on Broadway in Oakland, with another win in front of his hometown fans. Prior to his January win he scored two unanimous decision triumphs, including his June 20, 2015 performance against Yusmani Abreu (who Ryskeldiev defeated by technical knockout in September) on the undercard of Ward’s last fight. Considered a promising prospect in boxing circles, Coley’s lone loss came via decision to one of boxing’s hottest prospects in Ievgen Khytrov in a bout that was televised live on Showtime’s ShoBox on April 10, 2015 from The Aviator Sports Complex in Brooklyn, New York.

HIDALGO, TEXAS (Mei 9, 2015) – Omar “Panterita” Figueroa (25-0-1, 18 Uitklophoue) remained undefeated as he put on an exciting show in front of a raucous hometown crowd and earned a unanimous decision over Ricky Burns (37-5-1, 11 Uitklophoue) on Premier Boxing Champions on CBS live from State Farm Arena in Hidalgo, Texas.

 

Figueroa was the sharper fighter who landed harder punches and was able to dictate the pace of the fight. Burns was deducted a point in both the eighth and 11ste rounds by the referee for excessive holding. “Panterita” gewen deur tellings van 116-110 twee keer en 117-109.

 

In the first televised fight of the afternoon, British star Jamie McDonnell (25-2-1, 12 Uitklophoue) earned a narrow but unanimous decision over previously unbeaten Tomoki “Die Mexicanito” Kameda (31-1, 19 Uitklophoue). McDonnell was knocked down for the first time in his career by a sharp right hand from Kameda in round three but quickly recovered to win by a score of 114-113 op al drie beoordelaars’ kaarte.

 

Here are what the fighters had to say after their bouts:

 

OMAR FIGUEROA

 

“Fighting a fight like that, it takes a lot to go even four rounds, much less 12. With a fighter like that, leaning on you and using his weight on you it’s tough. I’m just glad I was in shape and didn’t let my fans down.

 

“I’m a very offensive fighter, so the holding kind of slowed me down. I tried to do what I could and, thankfully, the judges saw that.

 

“My hands are a little sore, but I really did hold back on my punches, especially because he has one of those European guards where he holds his hands up high and his elbows are exposed. I had to be careful going to the body because that’s how I hurt my hands most times, from hitting the elbows. I felt ridiculously strong at the new weight, but I didn’t think my hands would hold up, so I was holding back and trying to win the fight on points and if I could hurt him I would try to stop him.

 

“He was punching me behind the head, so I felt like I had to do the same. If you want to play like that, I can play that game.

 

“At the end of the fight, he came with a good body shot that hurt me a bit. That’s why I slowed down at the end. I have to give it to Ricky. He’s a tough fighter.

 

“It’s time to rest up. I’ve been training since the beginning of the year and I deserve a little rest.”

 

RICKY BURNS

 

“We knew it was going to be a tough fight, but I didn’t agree with the deductions for holding. I thought he was holding as much as me and that’s why I had to tie him up.

 

“We moved up in weight for this one but still had some trouble making weight, but I didn’t want to jeopardize my chance to fight in America.

 

“I think it was his size that gave me problems more than anything. I don’t know what weight he was in that ring, but it was a lot bigger than me.

 

“The plan was to try to stick to boxing for the first half of the fight, but once the size really took over I had to stand and exchange more than I would have liked. I couldn’t get him off of me. I’ve got no excuses, as I said the best man will win.

 

“I always leave everything in the ring and that’s all I can do. I hope everyone who watched enjoyed the fight.

 

“We’ve enjoyed the experience of being in the U.S., obviously the decision didn’t go our way which puts a damper on it, but overall everyone here in Texas has been great. I want to say a big thank you to everybody. I hope to back again.”

 

JAMIE MCDONNELL

 

“I felt in control all the way through. It was a great performance. I know I should have just boxed but I wanted to fight.

 

“I didn’t think I was going to get the decision being abroad, but it’s more than spectacular to come out of here victorious. He’s a great, onoorwonne kampioen.

 

“His speed surprised me on the knockdown. I knew he was going to be fast, but I didn’t expect it like that. I didn’t see the shot and next thing I knew I was on the floor.

 

“Hit and move, hit and move, that was the strategy. I remember being in there and thinking, Die mens, this isn’t easy.’ I knew the crowd was going to go his way but it was a great experience.

 

“It’s been a fantastic time being here in America. I’d like to see some familiar faces but it’s a new experience. I was up against it but I knew I could pull it off. I knew deep inside that I could do it.

 

“I think I’m going to move up in weight. I want to catch the big fights before they’re gone.”

 

Tomoki KAMEDA

 

“I think I won the fight. I did enough to win. He did a lot to win the last rounds, but I did more over the fight. I don’t agree with the judges decision, but I respect it.

 

“I knew he would get up after the knockdown because he’s a world champion. He’s a great fighter and I take my hat off to him, but I won the fight.

 

“Ek wil 'n rematch.”

Live On CBS Sports Starting at 4 Namiddag. EN/1 Namiddag. PT

HIDALGO, TEXAS (Mei 7, 2015) – Fight week for Premier Boxing Champions op CBS continued Thursday as televised fighters Omar “Panterita” Figueroa, Ricky Burns, Tomoki “Die Mexicanito” Kameda, Jamie McDonnellen Austin “Geen twyfel” Forel spoke to the media at the final press conference before their respective bouts taking placeSaterdag, Mei 9 op staat plaas Arena.

 

Here are what the participants had to say Thursday:

 

OMAR FIGUEROA

 

“This is the biggest fight of my career thus far. I have my brother on the undercard and it’s here at home. Dit is dit. I think it’s great for people from the Valley to get a huge card like this here. They haven’t seen this since Vasquez vs. Marquez, so I hope to bring that level of boxing back to the Valley.

 

“I definitely feel more pressure but the good kind of pressure. I’ve thrived on pressure my whole life. I was a pitcher for a long time. I was a closer. So I’ve been in situations where it’s bases loaded and we’re down so many runs and I’ve got to keep the game close. This is what I live for.

 

“I haven’t seen any film of Ricky Burns. Haven’t watched him at all. But from what I’ve heard he’s a tough fighter in great shape, so if we go 12 rounds it’ll be a good 12 rondes. I’m going to go out there and give it my all and win in the most impressive way possible.

 

“It wasn’t difficult to give up my title. I don’t fight for titles. I don’t care for titles. I think they’re just aesthetic things. I’d rather please the fans with a good fight. I don’t care if I win a title at the end of the day, but if the fans are happy, I am happy.

 

“I’m going to be a lot stronger at this new weight. I don’t know what to expect. I’m excited to get in the ring and find out.”

 

RICKY BURNS

 

“When you’re in hard fights, that’s what brings out the best of you. I’m looking forward to getting in the ring and putting on a good performance and win some fans over here.

 

“It’s a very tough fight and we knew that before we took it. Figueroa likes to come forward and be aggressive, but that can be his downside because he takes a lot of shots. We’re prepared for whatever happens on fight night and the best man will win.

 

“Some people think I’ve come over here just to be an opponent but that’s not the case. I had a bad year but it’s all behind me. I’m going to get back to my winning ways.

 

“This is everything I’ve ever wanted to accomplish in boxing. It’s going to be a hard fight but by the time the fight comes it will be just about four weeks that I’ve been in Texas.

 

“I treat boxing as my job, when it comes to training and fighting I always give it 100 percent and leave it all in the ring and hopefully the fans will see that. Omar is never in a dull fight and I’m not one to back out.

 

“We’ve treated this fight exactly the same as any other. Even though we’re in his hometown, as soon as that first bell goes that’s when it’s going to count. It’s just me and him in that ring.”

 

Tomoki KAMEDA

 

“It is a dream come true to fight on a network like CBS. Millions are now going to get to know me, get to know my style. Boxing is changing and to be part of that is a great honor to me.

“It was not easy to relinquish my world title — I was the first Japanese to hold that title. It’s never easy to give up something that you’ve worked so hard for. But I respect the sanctioning body’s decision, they said I had to relinquish it and so I did. Nou, I’m going for another title, and after that maybe unification.

“McDonnell is a good boxer. He knows how to box and knows his way inside the ring. Most British fighters do that, move around a lot. Its not an easy style to face, but my team and I have a great strategy and we are going to win, we are going to win by knockout.

“I love Mexico. I moved there when I was 15 with my family. I did all of my amateur and all my professional career there. I’m grateful to Mexico and all Mexicans for giving me so much.

“My team and the guys at the gym started calling me ‘El Mexicanito’ because I embrace Mexican culture as my own. I love the food, the people and of course the Spanish language. I struggle with it at first, but now I think I got it mastered.”

 

JAMIE MCDONNELL

 

“I think Kameda is a bit scared and a bit intimidated by my size. I genuinely believe I am going to knock him out. I’m too big and too strong.

 

“I’ve been a world champion for a couple of years now. I’m ultra-confident for this fight. It’s the best I’ve ever felt. Ek is regtig uitsien na dit.

 

“Kameda is a good fighter and I expect the very best from him. He better expect the very best from me. This is life changing, whoever wins this fight gets propelled up a few levels.

 

“I want the best life possible for my wife and baby daughter. To do that I have to beat him.

 

“My losses were six years ago and I didn’t even really believe in myself at that time. I’ve gone through every experience that you can in that time and I bring everything to the table.

 

“Fans can expect to see a lot of heart. I can take a punch, I can give a punch. It’s an interesting fight and it’s a chance for me to showcase what I’m all about on this great stage here in America.”

 

AUSTIN TROUT

 

“As far as my opponent dropping out at the last minute, disappointment is kind of an understatement. But I’m trying to keep it classy, so I’ll stick with disappointed. I’m not surprised though.

 

“The day I heard that he pulled out it definitely changed my mindset, but I had to find that focus and realize that we still have work to do.

 

“It’s an honor to be part of this whole PBC on CBS card. I feel like this is the resurgence of boxing – brining it back to the golden days. For me to be a part of that was one of my goals when I turned pro. I wanted to be a part of the comeback of boxing.

 

“I’m trying to get a belt. I want my world title back. After I get a world title I’m going to try and avenge those losses. After I avenge those losses I want another title so I can become an undisputed champion. Once that’s done we can consider moving up to another weight class maybe.”
