"Bhí mé a rá go raibh maith agat as teacht anseo. Ba mhaith liom a rá go raibh maith agat HBO, go raibh maith agat le gach duine. Go raibh maith agat Andre Ward as glacadh mo troid. Geallaim gach duine a thagann go dtí an réimse go bhfuil mé go raibh ullmhúchán mór agus tá sé seo le aisling mhór. Ar an oíche sin, caithfidh me seó mór do gach duine. "

"Dhá cheann de na heavyweights solas barr ar an phláinéid a collide ar Márta 26. Tá siad taifead comhcheangailte 45-0 le 27 Kos agus gá é a rá, ní tasted defeat mar gairmiúil. Cé go bhfuil gach fear a chéile comhraic formidable roimh dó, tá siad an dá gcuid súl ar Sergey Kovalev agus a vehicle teideal trí domhan, ach an chéad caithfidh siad gnó a bheith i láthair go ar an Satharn oíche.

 

"Aon uair a thagann mé i gcrích go dtí Oakland do imeacht agus tá mé le Andre ag ócáid ​​ina bhfuil sé ag labhairt leis na meáin, baineann sé liom go léir, tá sé ina tallann speisialta athletically, ach tá sé chomh maith le duine ar leith agus tá súil agam gach duine anseo i Oakland thuigeann agus tuigeann go. Tá sé ina fhear teaghlaigh phrionsabálta a dhéanann iarracht i gcónaí a dhéanamh ar an rud ceart agus go bhfuil rud éigin go bhfuil annamh sa saol na laethanta, ach is annamh go háirithe i spóirt. Tá súil agam go mbainfidh tú guys taitneamh dó.

"

"Ba mhaith liom i ndáiríre a ghabháil le Andre Ward. Ní raibh sé a ghlacadh ar Trodaire undefeated ina chéad troid ag trom éadrom, ach rinne sé é agus sílim go bhfuil moladh.

 

"Ina troid seo caite, Tháinig Sullivan an contender éigeantach do crios IBF Sergey Kovalev ar. D'fhéadfadh sé a bheith shuigh ar ais agus d'fhan as a chuid troid teideal, ach ina ionad sin chonaic sé an troid in aghaidh Andre Ward mar dheis chun teacht i ndáiríre le haghaidh greatness agus rinne sé go. Mar is eol duit go léir, tá imeachtaí Main agus Roc Nation Spóirt pleananna mór do Andre Ward agus Sergey Kovalev déanaí i mbliana agus Sullivan Barrera féidir trína chéile i ndáiríre go cart úll.

 

"Tá an dá na fir, Sullivan agus Andre, Tá gach rud marcaíocht ar thoradh na Dé Sathairn gcomhrac.

Tá sé seo cad ba cheart ár spórt a bheith faoi.

 

"Is Sullivan Barrera undefeated le taifead ar 17-0 le 12 Bhuaigh teacht ar mhodh knockout. Iompaigh sé díreach 34, mí ó shin, a d'fhéadfá smaoineamh go bhfuil beag d'aois ar an bpointe seo ina shaol. Cad é nach mbeadh a fhios agat go bhfuil go raibh sé ar ghairm amaitéarach rathúil i gCúba agus ansin chaill roinnt blianta dá príomh agus é ag defecting dtí na Stáit Aontaithe. Sé teacht ar bhealach fada i ndáiríre a bheith anseo inniu ar an láthair agus an deis seo. Tá sé ocras, Tá sé muiníneach agus tá sé réidh. "

"Is é seo an cárta iontach le lúthchleasaithe iontacha atá ag iarraidh a dhéanamh ar a mbealach i saol na dornálaíochta. Dá troid ar siúl in aon chathair eile, bheadh ​​sé ina ócáid ​​mhór. Cad ba mhaith linn a dhéanamh ná a dhéanamh cinnte go dtuigeann Oakland, agus go dtuigeann an Limistéar Bay máguaird, an méid imeacht seo ionas gur féidir linn leanúint ar aghaidh den scoth dornálaíochta thabhairt chuig Oakland. Is Oakland talamh le haghaidh pórú trodaithe barr agus ní mór dúinn cheana féin iad. An níos mó go bhfuil tú tacaíocht a thabhairt dúinn, an níos mó go mbeidh na troideanna a bheith infheicthe agus feicfidh tú an am mór ag an mbarr.

 

"Deir siad líonraí eile a dhéanamh trodaithe, ach déanann HBO réaltaí, mar sin tá áthas orainn a bheith mar chuid de seo. Iarraimid ort le teacht amach agus tacú leis an gcomhrac. Tar ar amach Dé Sathairn oíche agus taitneamh a bhaint as díbh féin le haghaidh oíche mhaith de dornálaíochta barr. "

Tar éis Shadowboxing i an fáinne agus roinnt babhtaí ar na málaí punching, na ceithre trodaithe páirt in agallaimh le baill meáin i láthair. Super Bowl Champion agus Oakland dhúchais Marshawn Lynch, avid Andre Ward tacaíocht, rinne cuma speisialta i rith na workout chun tacú Ward.

 

Anseo thíos tá an méid a bhí an trodaithe a rá le linn an workout meáin deiridh:

 

ANDRE WARD, Dhá-Ama Champion Domhanda agus barr-ráta punt-do-punt Trodaire:

"Is dóigh liom go maith agus tá mé réidh chun dul. Tá mé ag buactha ag an am ceart. Tá mé díreach ar bís chun é a fháil ar an Satharnoíche.

 

"Úsáid mé a thiomáint ag Oracle Arena ar 880 mar kid ar mo bhealach go dtí an Rí Giomnáisiam agus iontas más rud é go raibh mé in ann é a dhéanamh ansin lá amháin agus [oiliúnóir] Veirgil [Hunter] a úsáidtear a rá go muiníneach, 'Tá tú ag dul go dtí ceannlíne ann.' Mar a fuair mé níos sine, Bhain mé úsáid as chun dul go dtí roinnt de na cártaí a chur ar i réimse. Bhí mé fós amaitéarach agus ba mhaith liom a aisling díreach. Rud eile a fhios agat, i 2009, Bhí mé i doirteal nó snámh comhrac in aghaidh Edison Miranda. Má bhuaigh mé, bhí dócha go seans maith go mbeadh mé a fháil lámhaigh teideal agus tá an chuid eile stair. Anseo tá muid arís, bhfuil sé ar mo 7ú am Oracle agus tá sé fós ina blessing.

 

"Ba é an t-am ceart chun gluaiseacht chuig trom solais. Ba meascán de nach bhfuil na guys ceart dul i ngleic nó guys nach raibh ag iarraidh a troid liom. Ba mhaith liom a bheith iontach. Is iad seo na cineálacha bogann a bhfuil tú a dhéanamh. Tá mé mac léinn de spóirt agus nuair mé staidéar ar an spórt, is é seo an méid atá greats dhéanamh i gcónaí. Bhogann siad suas. Na cinn mór a fháil ar bhealach a fháil déanta agus ba mhaith liom a bheith sa chomhrá.

 

"Is Barrera comhlacht mór. Tá sé muiníneach. Cosúil le bheith ina pollaire maith. Ní raibh muid ag piocadh air mar tá sé i dteagmháil bog. Phioc muid é toisc go raibh sé ag dul a fháil réidh dom agus a thaispeáint dom cad é seo an rang meáchan ar fad faoi. Má fhéachann tú ar mo shaol, níl áit le haghaidh tune-ups nach bhfuil mé go raibh a lán de na. Ba mhaith leat dul i ngleic leis an chuid is fearr agus mura bhfuil tú ag troid an chuid is fearr, ba mhaith leat dul i ngleic leis an uimhir amháin contender. Sin an méid atá ar siúl againn.

 

"Sílim go bhfuil mé ag teacht chun cinn isteach i Trodaire éifeachtach. Tá mé ag bogadh nuair a tá mé ag bogadh. Sílim go bhfuil an áilleacht aon lúthchleasaí nach mí-úsáid a chorp agus i ndáiríre go rachaidh a cheird dáiríre. Mé le feiceáil roinnt earraí ag éileamh gur chaill mé mo príomh. Tá sé ar mire dom. Is dóigh liom go bhfuil mé chomh maith mar tá mé riamh. Tá mé i seomra aclaíochta dornálaíochta gan mórán de sos ar feadh an am atá caite 20 bliana. Mo inchinn buíochas leis dom ar feadh dhá bhliain anuas. Mo chorp ghabh sé buíochas dom. D'fhéadfadh sé a thabhairt dom dhá bhliain i mo shaol.

 

"Caithfidh mé a bheith mise amháin. Cé mise go leor. Ní dóigh liom go teacht i láthair don Kovalev sa slua ar an Satharnoíche. Ní mór dúinn ach chun an plean a chur i bhfeidhm cluiche. I mo thuairimse, go bhfuil dul a sheoladh chuig an teachtaireacht tá sé ceaptha a sheoladh agus más rud é nach ndéanann sé, ansin beidh sé [Kovalev] an teachtaireacht nuair ag troid linn a.

 

"Más rud é nach féidir liom a bhuaigh an troid, níl rud ar bith síos an bóthar. Mura féidir liom bhuaigh an troid, ní féidir liom dul chun troid ar son an teideal. Sin an réaltacht mo scéal.

 

"Riamh Barrera throid Guy cosúil liomsa os, ionas gur féidir leo labhairt cluiche maith. Is féidir leo a tionchar an-mhór na ceannlínte roimh an gcomhrac. Is féidir leo a rá go léir an stuif slick mian leo a rá. Ba mhaith linn ach a tionchar an-mhór na ceannlínte Dé Domhnaigh maidin tar éis an troid thar. Sin an méid mé dírithe ar. "

 

SULLIVAN BARRERA, Uimhir amháin rátáil IBF contender trom éadrom:

"Tá mé níos láidre ná Ward. Tá mé an cúlra Chúba agus d'fhoghlaim mé a lán de na scileanna ann. Níos mó ná rud ar bith, Beidh an cinneadh aon rud i os comhair dom a shárú cabhrú liom defeat Ward ar Márta 26.

 

"Chomh luath agus tá mé an fáinne, tá sé ar mo theach.

 

"Tá Cibé rud Ward, Beidh mé i dtaithí ar dó agus é a shárú.

 

"Tá mé dhá lámh. Tá sé dhá lámh. Tá mé post le déanamh ar Márta 26.

 

"Tá a fhios agam Ward agus Kovalev bhfuil meas an-ard agus cruthaíonn siad a lán airgid agus a lán de leas, ach níl a fhios acu cad é Sullivan Barrera in ann a dhéanamh. Beidh mé a chruthú go ar an Satharn.

 

"Níl mé i ndáiríre Guy go bhfuil a chuardach le haghaidh knockout. Mo scileanna dornálaíochta son féin de. Tá mé ag troid Andre Ward agus troid anseo i Oakland, mar sin ní dóigh liom go mbeidh cinneadh a rinneadh i mo bhfabhar.

 

"Chun go léir an lucht leanúna, go háirithe an lucht leanúna Chúba a thug tacaíocht dom le do thoil a fhios a thagann Dé Sathairn, Tá mé ag dul gach rud a bhfuil mé a dhéanamh le teacht amach victorious a dhéanamh. "

JOSEPH DIAZ JR., NABF featherweight Champion:

"Ní féidir liom bheith ag súil cad a rinne Jayson le Ronny Rios linn an troid. Tá mé chun dul i ann, thástáil air amach agus a choigeartú nuair atá mé an fáinne.

 

"Má léiríonn an deis féin nuair atá sé gortaithe agus feicim go bhfuil mo chuid punches déanamh damáiste dó, ansin ar ndóigh tá mé ag dul a fháil i ann, bheith ionsaitheach agus bí cinnte go dtógfaidh mé amach chomh luath agus is féidir.

 

"Tá a fhios mé ag dul ar an taobh istigh, Beidh ghearradh as an fáinne agus ag cur sé leis an gcomhlacht ar an bpointe boise a bhriseadh síos air. Sin an dul a dhéanamh dó bogadh oiread agus níos déanaí sa babhtaí is féidir liom blows fí talamh go dtí an ceann. Tá mé ag dul chun é a chur leis an gcomhlacht ar an bpointe boise.

 

"Meabhrach Tá mé 100% réidh. Is é seo a chur le céim mhór i mo shaol, mar sin tá mé dírithe meabhrach. Tá mé ullmhaithe go maith. Dar liom é seo i láthair na huaire tá mé ag fanacht le mo shaol ar fad ar fad. Dar liom Tá mé réidh le haghaidh seo agus ní féidir liom fanacht Márta 26. Oilte mé an-chrua ar an troid agus tá mé ullmhaithe go maith chun é.

 

"Ba mhaith liom ráiteas a dhéanamh an troid. Ba mhaith liom a thaispeáint ar an domhan go bhféadfadh Joseph Diaz a bheith ar an rud eile mór i dornálaíocht, mar sin oilte mé an-deacair a chur ar troid mór do lucht leanúna troid, a bheith an-ionsaitheach agus go mbeadh sé ina chogadh in ann. Tá súil agam go bhfuil Jayson Velez 110% réidh mar ba mhaith liom é a bheith ar a chuid is fearr.

 

"Má mé bhuaigh an troid agus ráiteas a dhéanamh, I mo thuairimse, is féidir liom a aistriú go dtí stádas contender agus táthar ag súil a fháil ar teideal domhan lámhaigh faoi dheireadh na bliana seo. Ba mhaith liom dul i ngleic opponents diana i mbliana mar ba mhaith liom a thaispeáint ar an domhan a bhfuil mé.

 

"Dar liom Beast nuair a chéim mé isteach an fáinne agus is féidir liom é a fheiceáil i sparring. Aon uair a bhfuil mé ag tuirlingt blows éifeachtacha, Is féidir liom a rá go bhfuil mé ag hurting mo chéile comhraic. "

JAYSON VELEZ, Barr-ráta contender featherweight:

"Ar mo leibhéal, Is gach Guy ina contender barr. Caithfidh mé a oiliúint níos deacra agus a fheabhsú mo chosaint. Tá mé ag obair ar sin.

 

"Má fheiceann tú mo trí nó ceithre anuas troideanna, feicfidh tú go bhfuil mé ag dominating sa chéad cúpla bhabhta agus ansin rith mé amach as gás, Tá mé ag obair ar mo stamina ionas nach mbeidh a tharlaíonn ar Márta 26.

 

"Chonaic mé troideanna Diaz ar. Táimid tar éis sparred cúpla uair. Sé fuair luas. Fuair ​​sé ag ocras. Tá sé a chuid HBO tús, mar sin tá sé spreagtha cinnte, ach mar sin tá mé. Tá sé seo ag dul a bheith ina troid i iontach.

 

"Ba mhaith liom a bheith curadh an fhocail. Tá a fhios agam mian sé sé ró. Ar an Satharn, bheidh a fhios againn atá ag iarraidh sé níos. Ba mhaith linn araon a bhuachan agus táimid araon oiliúint do bua. Tá troid idir chumhacht agus an luas iontach cluiche-suas. Gan trácht ar sé Mheicsiceo agus tá mé Puerto Rican. Is féidir leat a bheith ag súil le troid mhór agus nach bhfuil sé ar cheann is mian leat a chailleann. "

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 Kos) ag 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 troideanna, compiling a record of 97 Bhuaigh agus ní raibh ach 7 caillteanais, le 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 s) at the Orpheum Theater in St. Louis. After four rounds, the judges saw the fight 40-36, 37-39 agus 38-38, making the fight a split draw. Undeterred, 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 s) ar Eanáir 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 s) ar Aibreán 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 s) ar Meitheamh 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.

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.

Ceann de na Tarraingíonn tháinig i gcoinne Alejandro Ochoa ag Cannon Ciúin i Montebello, California Meán Fómhair 20, 2013, but in a rematch three months later, Franco outmatched Ochoa scór bua chinneadh d'aon toil de shé-bhabhta ag Westin Bonaventure Óstán i Los Angeles. Ar Meitheamh 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 Nollaig 21when he scored a decision victory over Hector Garcia in Tijuana, Mexico.

 

A promising unbeaten prospect from Salinas, California, Rudy “The Revelation” Puja. Jr. (7-0, 6 Kos)looks to extend his undefeated streak against Carlos “Kalimba” Lozano (7-5, 4 Kos) de 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 s) in two rounds at the Double Tree Hotel in Ontario, California. Anois, 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. I mí an Mheithimh 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 Aibreán 24 and a six-round unanimous decision over Juan Carlos Rojas on Samhain 21, both fights taking place at the Double Tree Hotel in Ontario, California.

 

Brooklyn’s 20-year-old, undefeated Junior “The Young God” Younan (7-0, 6 KO s) ar ais go dtí an fáinne ar Márta 26 after a nine-month layoff to take on Cristian Solorzano (4-7, 3 Kos) de 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 ag Barclays Ionad i Brooklyn, Nua-Eabhrac. Anois 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.

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 ag Foxwoods Saoire Casino i Mashantucket, Connecticut. He followed that fight with a first round knockout of Marlon Farr on Lúnasa 13 the BB King Blues Club and Grill in New York on Lúnasa 13.

Chinese heavyweight Zhang “Big Bang” Zhilei (7-0, 4 Kos) joins the undercard on Márta 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, An tSín.

 

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. I 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. Ar Lúnasa 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. Ar Márta 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 Meitheamh 6. Next came a sixth round technical knockout win over Dennis Benson at The Playground in Atlantic City on Lúnasa 15. To end the year, Zhang was featured on the undercard of the Samhain 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.

Ar Márta 26, Coley will look follow his most recent victory, a unanimous decision over Jeremy Ramos onEanáir 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, Nua-Eabhrac.

HIDALGO, TEXAS (Bealtaine 9, 2015) – Omar “Panterita” Figueroa (25-0-1, 18 Kos) 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 Kos) 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 11ú rounds by the referee for excessive holding. “Panterita” a bhuaigh scór de 116-110 faoi ​​dhó agus 117-109.

 

In the first televised fight of the afternoon, British star Jamie McDonnell (25-2-1, 12 Kos) earned a narrow but unanimous decision over previously unbeaten Tomoki “An Mexicanito” Kameda (31-1, 19 Kos). 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 ar gach triúr breitheamh’ cártaí.

 

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, curadh undefeated.

 

“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, 'Fear, 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.

 

“Ba mhaith liom rematch.”

Live On CBS Sports Starting at 4 P.m. AGUS/1 P.m. PT

HIDALGO, TEXAS (Bealtaine 7, 2015) – Fight week for Dornálaíocht Seaimpíní Premier ar Scoil na mBráithre Críostaí continued Thursday as televised fighters Omar “Panterita” Figueroa, Ricky Burns, Tomoki “An Mexicanito” Kameda, Jamie McDonnellagus Austin “Níl Amhras” Breac spoke to the media at the final press conference before their respective bouts taking placeDé Sathairn, Bealtaine 9 ag Stáit Arena Feirme.

 

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. Is é seo é. 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 babhtaí. 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. Anois, 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. Tá mé ag súil go mór air.

 

“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.”
