Ev Sahəsinin Üstünlüyü: Fanatların sevimlisi Sean O'Malley UFC-də Sterlinqi buldozerlə vurur 292, Chris Weidmanın qayıdışı təqaüdə çıxmaq haqqında danışır, Katona vs. Gibson Gecənin Döyüşü qazanır…və keçən şənbə UFC-nin Bostona qayıtmasından daha çox şey

Ilə: Rich Bergeron

UFC 292 iştirak etdiyim ilk UFC tədbiri idi 16 il. Xyience qalmaqalını ifşa etməklə ən çox tanınan MMA yazıçısı kimi (görmək www.xyiencesucks.com), Bu hadisəni xatırlamaq üçün köhnə Xyience papağımı çıxartdım. Bir vaxtlar UFC-nin ən məhsuldar sponsoru, Xyience indi ilk növbədə enerji içkisi şirkətidir və artıq heç bir MMA liqası ilə əlaqə saxlamır.. Deməyə ehtiyac yoxdur, Bütün arenada Xyience ticarəti ilə məşğul olan yeganə mən idim.

Bu dəfə biletləri özüm ödədim, amma UFC-nin nə olduğunu düşünməkdən qaça bilmədim 292 təcrübə mənim kimi olardı UFC 78 təcrübə, Xyience tərəfindən ödənilmişdir, demək olar ki, mənim üçün çox fərqli oldu 16 il bundan əvvəl.

Bostonda evə qayıtmağımın şəxsi hekayəsi və iştirak etdiyim son döyüşlə bu döyüş arasında UFC üçün gördüyümüz dəyişikliklər haqqında yazmağı planlaşdırdığım yeni parçada daha çox fikirləşəcəyəm. www.paythefighters.com. Bunun üçün bizi izləyin, amma əvvəlcə şənbə gecəsi UFC-nin yaxşı qurulmuş döyüş kartına keçək.

Bu, iki yüngül çəki Silvasın hekayəsi ilə başladı: Karine Silva və Natalia Silva. Həmin döyüşlər iki fərqli üsulla iki Silvanın qələbəsi ilə yekunlaşıb, lakin hər bir döyüşçü özünəməxsus üslublarında dominant olduğunu sübut etdi. Karine birinci raundun bitməsinə az qalmış Maryna Morozu son saniyədə gilyotin boğaraq göndərdi.. Bu, bəzi matçların əyləncə dəyərinə qədər bir neçə zirvə və vadiyə malik olan şou üçün fantastik başlanğıc idi.. Natalia vaxtını aldı və yarışmanın böyük bir hissəsi üçün uzaqdan Andrea Lee oyununu seçdi.. O, diqqətli və diqqətli şəkildə vurduğu hədəflə yekdil qərara gəldi.

Sonrakı, mübahisəli bölünmə qərarı, bahisçilərin sevimli döyüşçüsü Andre Petrovskiyə Gerald Meershaert üzərində qələbə qazandırdı.. Petrovski təcrübəli veteran Meerschaert ilə asmaq üçün kardiyoya sahib deyildi. Bu mübarizədə çatışmayan yeganə şey, Petrovskini yerə yıxmaq üçün Meershaert-in cəmlənmiş zərbə gücü idi.. Hər iki döyüşçü öz anlar yaşadı, amma mənə aydın görünürdü ki, Cerald daha məşğul və daha təsirli döyüşçüdür. O, şənbə gecəsi ilk növbədə texniki döyüşdə açıq-aydın qalib gəldikdən sonra hakimlər tərəfindən oğurluq qurbanlarından yalnız biri idi.. Zaman-zaman səpilən slugfest toxunuşları həmişə daha çox oyuna və həvəsli Meerschaert-ə üstünlük verirdi.. O, mütləq qələbəyə layiq idi. Eyni çaplı başqa bir quldurluq haqqında bir az sonra danışacağıq.

Sonrakı bir cüt Ultimate Fighter Finale döyüşü, Brad Katona və Cody Gibson "Gecənin Döyüşü" mükafatını qazanaraq başladılar.. Onların çox uzun müddət nadir hallarda yerə dəyən ayaqdan dırnağa kikboksinq matçı, şübhəsiz ki, izdihamı başdan-ayağa çaşdırdı.. Katona heç-heçədə ikinci daha sürətli oldu və tez-tez özünün iki zərbəsini endirmək üçün bir yaxşı yumruq atmalı olduğu bir qırıntıda qələbəni təmin etmək üçün vuruşları və sayğacları ilə kifayət qədər kəskin oldu.. Gibson son zəngdə Bredin dəqiqliyinin nəticələrini döyülmüş üzünə taxdı, lakin o, həm izdihamdan, həm də təşkilatdan heç vaxt geri çəkilməyən yanaşması ilə böyük hörmət qazandı. UFC hər iki döyüşçüyə səyləri üçün müqavilə təklif etdi, ancaq qalib gələnə başını tərpətdi.

Kurt Holobaugh Yüngül çəkidə finalda dostu və həmkarı Team Chandler döyüşçüsü Austin Hubbard ilə döyüşməli idi.. Bu Hubbard üçün bitdiyindən daha yaxşı başlayan döyüş idi. Nəhayət, qısa bir hiss prosesindən sonra, Holobaugh sürəti götürdü və sadəcə olaraq fenomenal Üçbucaq Choke əldə etdi 2:39 ikinci çərçivəyə. Hər iki döyüşçünün dominant anları olub, lakin gecəni və TUF kubokunu qazanan Holobaugh-un qara kəmərli jiu jitsu bacarıqları oldu..

Qreqori Rodriqes orta çəkidə rusiyalı Dennis Tiuliulini tamamilə darmadağın etdi. Bu döyüşdə Beantown izdihamı braziliyalı döyüşçünün tərəfdarı olaraq qısaca “ABŞ” şüarını səsləndirdi.. "Robocop" izdihamın dəstəyindən həzz aldı və tam nümayiş etdirdiyi bitirmə bacarıqları ilə tez bir zamanda onları alqışladı.. Rodrigues təsadüfən Netflix-in “The Linkoln Lawyer” filmindəki baş qəhrəmana bənzəyir.,” əgər xarakter bir neçə steroid raundundan sonra yığılıbsa. Rodrigues, şübhəsiz ki, qanunu qoydu və rusu maşına bənzər bir dəqiqliklə huşunu itirdi.. O, cəmi bir dəqiqə çəkdi və 43 izdihamın əsas hadisəyə qədər son dayanmasını vermək üçün saniyələr.

Ardınca beş düz qərar verildi, onlardan ikisi qaliblərin dəhşətli ayaq zərbələrinin mükəmməl yerləşdirilməsi ilə qərarlaşıb. Bu iki döyüşdən ən ağrılısı Chris Weidman'ın cəzalandırıcı orta çəki döyüşündə Bred Tavareslə qarşılaşaraq ilkin mərhələləri başa vurması idi.. Weidman, Uriah Hall'a qarşı tamamilə sınıq bir ayağı əkməyə çalışdığı şiddətli rezin toyuq ayağı zədəsindən geri qayıdır, paslı ola bildiyi qədər paslı görünürdü. Onun cəhd etdiyi hər yıxılma Tavares tərəfindən asanlıqla doldurulmuşdu.

Hər yumruq mübadiləsi çox az görünürdü, Weidmanın köhnə zədə ilə həm ayağını, həm də Weidmanın digər ayağını yaxşılaşdırmaq üçün daimi ayaq zərbələrindən qayıtması üçün çox gec. Hətta cırıq MCL və ya ACL ilə (Weidmanı döyüşdən sonra təqaüdə çıxmağa məcbur edən Dana White-a görə), Veydman Tavaresi qəfəsin ətrafında təqib etdi və əyilmiş təkərə baxmayaraq, ona döyüşmək üçün əlindən gələni etdi.. Tavares çox strateji və ağıllı döyüşdə qalib gəldi, heç vaxt gəlməyən möcüzəvi geri dönüş performansına ümid edən bütün Weidman tərəfdarlarını məyus etdi.

Marlon “Chito” Vera və Pedro Munhoz əsas kartı Veranın səbrini nümayiş etdirən birtərəfli münasibətlə açdılar., heyrətləndirici fərasət, və demək olar ki, qüsursuz texnika. Munhoz döyüşü ayaq üstə bitirdi, lakin oraya çatanda çoxlu üz zədələrinə dözdü. Çito döyüşün əksəriyyətində təhlükəsiz məsafədə qaldı və yekdil qərarla qalib gəlmək yolunda bir neçə riskə getdi.. Veranın əhatə dairəsi və sürəti onun daha qısa və qalın Munhoza qarşı əldə etdiyi ən təsirli üstünlüklər kimi görünürdü.. Vera, bəzən izləmək nə qədər darıxdırıcı olsa da, sübut etdi ki, o, öz ağır çəkidə titul vuruşuna layiqdir.

Üçüncü birbaşa qərar Mario Bautista'ya Da'Mon Blackshear üzərində çox mübahisəli yekdil qərarla qalib gəldi.. Bautista yer üzərində nəzarət baxımından Blackshear-ı geridə qoydu, lakin Blackshear vuruşunda daha dəqiq idi və yüngül çəkidə daha əhəmiyyətli zərbələr endirdi.. Şübhəsiz ki, onun qələbə üçün kifayət qədər çalışdığını düşünürdüm, lakin münsiflər döyüşü eyni şəkildə görmədilər və yarışı Bautistaya verdilər.

Ian Garry və Neil Magny uyğun olmayan orta çəki yarışmasında növbəti dəfə toqquşdular. Magny hər nokdaundan sonra ayağa qalxmaqda böyük ürək nümayiş etdirdi, lakin Qarrinin atdığı aramsız ayaq zərbələrinə qalib gələ bilmədi. Baş hakim Keyt Peterson bir neçə dəfə döyüşü dayandırmağa yaxınlaşıb, lakin Magny onu davam etdirmək üçün kifayət qədər iş gördü, bəzən bir ayağı üstə hoppanır. Garry-nin heyranlığı, zibil söhbəti oyunu kimi nöqtədə idi, bir neçə vaxtlı əl jesti ilə Neyt Diazın ruhunu oyatmaq. Camaat Qarrinin döyüşdən sonrakı çıxışında bir gün yer üzündə ən yaxşı döyüşçü olmaq arzusundan danışaraq onun davamlı üstünlüyünü qeyd etdi.. Maqni UFC-də aktual qalmaq istəyirsə, son mübarizələrinə cavab tapmalı olacaq.

Weili Zhang və Amanda Lemos növbəti epik titul döyüşündə mübarizə apardılar. Lemos az qala bir neçə möcüzəvi təqdimat cəhdini təmin etdi, lakin saman çəkisi uğrunda mübarizə Lemosun son zəngə qədər yaşayıb-yaşamayacağı sualına çevrildi.. Zhang bütün təcrübə sahələrində istedadlarını nümayiş etdirdi, və Lemos yalnız bir neçə Hail Mary təqdim cəhdi ilə qalib gəlməyə ümid edə bilərdi.. Zhang sürəti, güc və davamlılıq Lemosu alt-üst etdi və sonrakı raundların çoxunda dayanmamaq üçün mübarizə apardı.. Birtəhər bunu bacardı, yolda böyük miqdarda ziyan vurur. Zhang titulunu saxlayaraq uzaqlaşdı, bütün mübarizə boyunca ona dəstək olan pərəstişkarlarını çox sevindirdi.

Nəhayət, əsas hadisə gəldi, gecə yarısından sonra. Arenaya ilk olaraq Sean O'Malley daxil oldu, və izdiham qopdu. Onların bir çoxu O'Malley-nin imza görünüşünü təqlid etmək üçün yaşıl və ya çəhrayı pariklər geyindirdilər.. O'Malley, səmimi olaraq, olduqca daşlaşmış görünürdü, sanki hadisədən əvvəl bütün gecəni belə yatmamışdı. Aljamain Sterlinq qəfəsə girərək onu daha çox aldatmaq üçün izdihamı yumurtlayaraq yüngülləşdirməyə çalışdı.

İlk raund əsasən hər iki döyüşçünün ayaq hərəkətlərinin nümayişi idi. O'Malley-nin baş oyunları Sterlinq üzərində işləmiş ola bilərdi, çünki o, döyüş öncəsi müsahibələrində öz birinci raund texniki nokautunu təmin edəcəyinə söz vermişdi. Ən böyük gücünə güvənmək əvəzinə, onun güləşi, Sterlinq O'Malley-i öz oyununda məğlub etmək istəyirdi. Bunun yanlış strategiya olduğu ortaya çıxdı, Sterlinq, TKO-nun səhv tərəfində olduğu zaman başa düşdü. O'Malley-i aşağı salmaq cəhdləri az idi, və hamısı tamamilə doldurulmuşdu. Sterlinq ikinci raundun əvvəlində O'Malley əks yumruğu ilə vurulduqdan sonra qatlandı və kətana düşdü.. Qalanı O'Malley "Suga şousunu" Makqreqora bənzər bir yer və funt ilə bağladığı üçün tarix oldu..

Hər iki döyüşçü döyüşdən sonra möhtəşəm çıxışlar etdi, formalaşdırmaq doğrudur. Sterlinq məğlubiyyətdə lütfkar idi və arzusuna çatmağa çalışan O'Malliyə hörmətini göstərdi. Sterlinqin döyüşdən əvvəl O'Malley'i Dana White-ın ev heyvanı layihəsi olduğuna və titul atışına layiq olmadığına görə tənqid etdiyini nəzərə alaraq, bu, böyük bir günah idi. Da, Əgər hər şey cənab tərəfindən bəyənilməkdən ibarət idisə. White, O'Malley, Boksçu Gervonta Davis ilə hər hansı digər həqiqi UFC döyüşçüsündən daha çox döyüşmək istədiyini bildirərək Keçəl Atanı işarələmiş ola bilərdi..

Dünya titulunu qazanan yalnız ikinci Dana White Contender Series döyüşçüsü kimi, O'Malley, şübhəsiz ki, müəyyən dərəcədə öz vuruşlarını adlandıra bilər, lakin Frensis Nqannunun bu yaxınlarda UFC müqaviləsindən imtina etməsi və Tyson Fury ilə ağır çəkidə boks görüşünə yazılmasından sonra boks krossoveri çox həssas mövzudur ki, bu da onun karyerasında UFC qazancını bir mil geridə qoyacaq.. Yalnız Konor Makqreqor indiyə qədər UFC brassını krossover döyüşündə boksa getməyə inandıra bilib.. Dana White o vaxtdan bəri Makqreqorun profilini təqlid etmək istəyən döyüşçülərini nəzərə almaq üçün "Zuffa Boxing" yaratmaq üçün ilkin planlarını tamamilə ləğv etdi., maliyyə rekordu və cəsarətli cəsarət ona sərgidə Floyd Mayweather ilə döyüşmək imkanı qazandırdı.

Tez-tez, Dana White-ın diqqətini və hörmətini qazanmaq üçün, döyüşçülər sadəcə olaraq özlərini kifayət qədər satmalıdırlar ki, bu, onların səs-küyündən yaranan kütləvi mallara və bilet satışlarına çevrilsin.. Çox WWE kimi, Böyük personajlar və rəngarəng personajlar UFC-də yalnız fiziki bacarıq dəstlərinə diqqət yetirən idmançılar üzərində imkanlardan qalib gəlirlər.. Xüsusilə hücumçulara üstünlük verilir, çünki onlar UFC-nin qəfəsə girən hər bir döyüşçüyə tətbiq etdiyi “şou göstərmək” mükəmməllik standartını yerinə yetirirlər.. Bu, döyüşçüləri aldadaraq, müdafiə üçün az qayğı ilə daima önə çıxmağın və müəyyən bir döyüşdə qalib gəlmək üçün lazım olduğundan daha maraqlı və əyləncəli olmaq üçün böyük risklərə getməyin öz karyeraları üçün daha yaxşı olduğunu düşünməyə vadar edən bir idarəetmə və kök və çubuqlu liderlik tərzidir..

İndi bu uşaq O'Malley etiraf edir ki, Dananın özü kimi olmaq istəyir, mərc etmək üçün kifayət qədər maliyyə cəhətdən rahatdır $250,000 poker əlinə görə. O'Malley-dən əvvəl ən xüsusi istedad, öz ad brendlərini qurmaq və öz viski şirkətini almaq üçün öz yüksələn ulduz personasından istifadə etdi.. Onun yaxtası və “Lamborghini”si var, və o, Dastin Poire ilə belə birtərəfli döyüşü uduzduqdan və bir neçə il sınıq ayağı ilə sıradan çıxdıqdan sonra da təşkilatda ən çox danışılan və çağırılan döyüşçüdür.. O'Malley-nin boksda böyük krossover döyüşü olmadan heç vaxt Konor səviyyəsinə çata bilməyəcəyini dərk edə və mənimsəməsi faktı UFC-nin bu gün harada olduğunu göstərir..

UFC-nin nəhəng hüquq komandası ilə üzləşmək üçün hüquqşünaslar ordusu olmadan bütün döyüşçülərin maaşını və müqavilə məsələlərini məhkəməyə çatdırmağın nə qədər çətin olduğunu bildiyim üçün gülməli olduğum inkişaf növüdür.. Belə bir qanuni ordu bu yaxınlarda daha çox adından qrup hərəkəti anti-inhisar iddiası davam etdirməyi təmin etdi. 1,200 keçmiş UFC döyüşçüləri. Görünür, hakim artıq iddiaçıların tərəfini tutur. UFC sinfi iddiası sertifikatına reaksiya: Nə olub, və bundan sonra nə var? (msn.com)

Təşkilat döyüşçülərin gəlir payının oyunçuların assosiasiyaları ilə digər əsas idman növləri ilə müqayisədə kiçik olduğunu göstərən statistika ilə qarşılaşdıqda, cavab adətən təsiri ilə bir şeydir: “Biz çoxlu milyonçular qazanmışıq. Döyüşçülərimiz yaxşı çıxış edirlər, və onların hamısı bizim onlara nail olmaqda kömək etdiyimiz şöhrətlə çoxlu maliyyə imkanları əldə edirlər."

UFC-nin maliyyə tarixi üzrə ekspert və UFC-də auditoriya üzvü kimi 292, Mən bu qədər “UFC Nut-hugger” jurnalistinin mətbuat imtiyazlarının bütün əlavə üstünlüklərini əldə etməsi reallığı ilə üzləşməkdən qaça bilmədim, çünki onlar “Zuffa mifi” zehniyyəti ilə çox yaxşı oynayırlar.. UFC-ni xəritəyə qoyan insanlar öz tərəfdarlarını giriş və şöhrət və fürsət vədləri ilə aldadırlar., həm döyüşçülər, həm də media mənsubları bu cür idarəetmə teatrlarına cəlb olunurlar. Öz növbəsində, çox şeylə bitmirsən MMA media dairələrində araşdırma reportajları, və çoxlu suallar verən və daha yaxşı müqavilə şərtləri tələb edən döyüşçülər yenidən imzalanmır və ya əsas döyüş matçları ilə qurulmur..

UFC-nin bir döyüşçünün təşkilatla hər hansı bir müqavilə imzalamasına icazə verməklə, onların super ulduz yaratmaq qabiliyyətinə daim diqqət yetirməsi məsələsini mənim üçün aydınlaşdırmaq üçün əsas tədbirin nəticəsi lazım idi.. Bununla razılaşan bəziləri deyərlər ki, təşkilatın O'Malley-də onu Dana Uaytın Müsabiqəçilər seriyasına yerləşdirmək üçün kifayət qədər istedadı görmək bacarığı yeni çempionun at sürməsi şöhrətinin möhtəşəm yüksəlməsinə səbəb olub.. Əlbəttə, O'Malley heç vaxt təşkilata daxil olmasaydı, şənbə gecəsi Bostonda da olmazdı. Lakin, Çoxlu DWCS döyüşçüsü var ki, onlar giriş səviyyəli döyüşü uduzduqları üçün daha çox UFC imkanı əldə edə bilməyiblər.. O'Malley şənbə gecəsi olduğu yerdə olmaq üçün qalib gəlməli və qazanmağa davam etməli idi.

Məsələ ondadır: Sean O'Malley-in kült izləyicisi və böyük özünə inamı onun qeyri-məhdud potensiala və heyrətamiz istedada malik xüsusi biri olmaq üçün şəxsi səlib yürüşünün nəticəsidir.. İdman zalında daha yaxşı olmağa çalışmasaydı, heç vaxt titul üçün söhbətə də girməzdi.. UFC Sean O'Malley yaratmadı, sadəcə olaraq ona platforma verdilər ki, necə döyüşçü ola bilər. O, super ulduzluqdan həzz alarkən UFC özlərini təqdir edəcək, O'Malley bilməlidir ki, qazanc potensialını maksimum dərəcədə artırmağın yeganə yolu təşkilatın özünü örtməkdir.. O, gəlir payının çox daha yaxşı olduğu və Francis Ngannou kimi bir oğlanın bütün UFC karyerasında əldə etdiyindən daha çox mübarizə apara biləcəyi bir idman növünə onların məhdudlaşdırıcı maliyyə sərhədlərindən yuxarı və kənara çıxmalıdır..

Belə, Əgər Dana Uayt həqiqətən də Aljamain Sterlinqin təklif etdiyi kimi Şon O'Malleyi öz ev heyvanı layihəsi edibsə, əla iş gördü. Təəssüf ki,, yaratdığı canavar uzun müddətdə onu dişləmək üçün geri qayıda bilər. UFC ilə birgə təşviq edilən başqa bir boks kartı, eyni marşrutu seçməyə çalışan və Dananın balaca dostunun niyə bütün fasilələri və faydaları əldə etdiyini merak edən işçilərin çoxunu alacaq.. Veteranlar və yeni gələnlər çox güman ki, hər hansı bir qızışdırılan Davisə qarşı baxacaqlar. O'Malley boks matçı, rəhbərliyi tərəfindən UFC-nin döyüşçülərinə onları qəfəsdə saxlamaq üçün kifayət qədər pul ödəyə bilmədiyi etirafı olaraq.

“Uşaq, nə qədər pul qazanacağını bilmirsən,"Dana Uayt qələbədən sonra O'Malley-ə dedi Bu yaxınlarda O'Malley müsahibəsinə görə. Mən onun başında təsəvvür edirəm, Dana bu fikrini belə tamamladı “bizə.”

LOS ANGELES (Dekabr 5, 2021) –Boxing superstar and five-time world champion Gervonta "Tank" Davis put his boxing skills on display, winning a rousing 12-round round unanimous decision over the relentless Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz to retain his WBA Lightweight World Title in front of a star-studded, sellout crowd of 15,850 at STAPLES Center live on SHOWTIME Pay-Per-View, Premier Boxing Champions tərəfindən təqdim olunan bir tədbirdə.

Scorecards read 116-112 and two scores of 115-113, all for Davis.

The atmosphere in the arena was electric, with scores of current and former NBA stars in attendance, including Earvin “Magic” Johnson, Kawhi Leonard, Dwight Howard, Kenny Smith, Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce among others.

Accompanied by superstar rapper Lil Durk, Davis entered the ring in Laker purple and gold; tassels along his trunks with the late Kobe Bryant’s number “8” and “24” on each side. Cruz celebrated his Mexican heritage with a mariachi band behind him as he strode toward the ring.

There was no feeling-out process in the first. Cruz charged at the defending champion, pinning him against the ropes and wailing away.

“That’s my style. ‘Pitbull’ is always going to be on the attack,"Cruz bildirib. “I think we retained rhythm from the start to the end.”

Davis found his rhythm in the second and third, circling the ring and walking Cruz into shots. In the fourth, Cruz concentrated his attack on the body, pounding Davis’ ribs.

The 27-year-old Baltimore native turned on the power in the fourth, alternating between the right hook and left cross behind his southpaw stance. More punishing blows came from Davis during the fifth.

“He’s a shorter fighter, so I was throwing down on the top of his head,"Devis bildirib. “I hit him with my knuckle and messed it up. I hurt my hand in the sixth round. No matter if the opponent is taller or shorter, I’ve got to get through it. O, bir əsgər var. Even though he didn’t win, a star was born tonight.”

“It was right around the fifth round I saw that his hand wasn’t working correctly,” Cruz observed.

Davis boxed beautifully in the middle rounds, firing quick shots and pivoting away from the return fire. A right hook in the eighth briefly buzzed Cruz and brought the audience to their feet. But just when it appeared as if the fight was slipping away, Cruz fought fire with fire, landing a flush uppercut seconds before the bell.

The 23-year-old Mexican picked up the pace in the latter rounds, keeping Davis on his toes and pounding away. Davis held his own, fighting back on even terms until the fight’s end.

Təbii ki, Cruz believed he deserved the victory.

“Viva Mexico. I have nothing to say, the fans are speaking on who won this fight,"Dedi.

Following a successful title defense, Davis said he’s ready for all comers.

“L.A., we did it for Kobe,"Devis bildirib. “At the beginning of the fight, he came on strong. I felt as the fight was going, he was breaking down. But I hurt my hand, so I wasn’t able to get him out of there.

“Whatever the best opportunity is for me, I’ll do it. All of them guys are easy work. I’m the top dog.”

ATƏT-əsas hadisə, Sebastian “Towering Inferno” Fundora moved closer to a world title shot with a 12-round unanimous decision over the previously-unbeaten Sergio Garcia in a WBC Super Welterweight Title Eliminator.

Final scores read 118-110, 117-111 və 115-113.

Fundora established control quickly in the first, snapping Spain’s Garcia’s head back with a booming left. The two traded evenly through the early rounds. Garcia had his moments, including a sharp overhand right in the fifth that drew blood from Fundora’s nose.

The 23-year-old Fundora found his range in the sixth, pumping the jab and using his 6-foot-5 frame and 80-inch reach to keep Garcia at bay.

“I was using my distance a lot more. I wanted to display something different than what I’m used to,” said Fundora. “Height was definitely a difference in this fight.”

Garcia struggled to land during the second half of the bout, save for a couple moments in the 12ci when the two combatants stood toe-to-toe.

“Maybe things could have been different if I had been more aggressive from the beginning,"dedi Garcia. “I shouldn’t have let myself get carried away by what he was doing.”

Fundora believes he’s ready for a world title shot.

“We just beat the No. 2 WBC, so we have No.1, and we have the champion,” said Fundora. “Whoever they give us next, we’re ready for.”

In a thrilling back and forth, Carlos Adames (21-1, 16 Kos) overcame a stiff challenge from former world title challenger Sergey Derevyançenko (13-4, 10 Kos) to win a 10-round majority decision in their WBC Middleweight World Title Eliminator.

Both combatants had their moments, but facing the toughest opponent of his career, the 27-year-old Adames shined. One judge scored the middleweight bout even at 95-95, while the other two scored it for Adames by scores of 96-94 və 97-93.

“This means a lot for me in my career and this is a big accomplishment winning against a fighter of his caliber,” said Adames, who was born in the Dominican Republic and fights out of Washington Heights in New York City.

I am aggressive and speedy by nature, so I came in ready to do my thing. He started slow, wanting to see what would happen, and simply had the wrong game plan. He got a bit tired as the fight went on, took a lot of hard shots from me and it was evident that I caused him a lot of damage.”

“I expect my opponent to fight the same style. It was nothing special for me, just a quality fight,"Derevyançenko bildirib.

“He stayed southpaw, that was the difference in the fight. I don’t know what I’ll do next. I need a little bit of rest and then I will go back to the gym because I love boxing and I love the show.”

This gives me an opportunity to move on,” said Adames. “I dominate at both 154 və 160, so wherever they give me the opportunity to fight for a championship is where I’ll go.”

In the opening bout of the SHOWTIME PPV telecast, super featherweight contender Eduardo “Zurdito” Ramirez (26-2-3, 12 Kos) was in peak form, winning a wide 10-round unanimous decision over former world title challenger Miguel Marriaga.

“I would like to thank the fans, SHOWTIME and the Montiel family for supporting me. Marriaga was a tough opponent, but I managed to dominate,” said Ramirez. “I had a varied fighting style and kept him on his toes the whole time.”

Marriaga (30-5, 26 Kos) was the aggressor throughout, particularly in the first round as he backed Ramirez up with combination punching. The latter found his range midway through the frame, utilizing an accurate jab. Üçüncüdə, a right hook followed by an overhand left floored an off-balance Marriaga for a flash knockdown.
“We started out strong, but then things got progressively harder. Having said that, we are pleased with the work we put in today,” said Marriaga. “We should have been more savvy, but we tried our hardest in the face of a great opportunity that unfortunately we could not take advantage of.”

Ramirez dominated after scoring the knockdown, punishing Marriaga from then on with an assortment of shots to the head and body. Final punch stats had Ramirez landing 280 haqqında 762 (36.7%) total punches to Marriaga’s 159 həyata 689 (21.3%).

“Now I’m going to relax with my family and enjoy the holidays,” said Ramirez. “Then hopefully 2022 will come with a title shot for me.

Tonight’s blockbuster pay-per-view event will re-air on SHOWTIME this Saturday, Dekabr 11 at 10 dək. ET / PT. The delayed telecast of Davis vs. Cruz will open the telecast featuring WBC Bantamweight World Champion and future Hall of Famer Nonito Donaire as he will defend his title against undefeated top contender and fellow Filipino countryman Reymart Gaballo headlining in a Premier Boxing Champions event from Dignity Health Tennis Stadium in Carson.

Veteran sportscaster Brian Custer hosted the SHOWTIME PPV telecast while versatile combat sports voice Mauro Ranallo handled blow-by-blow action alongside Hall of Fame analyst Al Bernstein and three-division world champion Abner Mares. Three Hall of Famers rounded out the SHOWTIME telecast team – Emmy® award winning reporter Jim Gray, unofficial scorer Steve Farhood, and world-renowned ring announcer Jimmy Lennon Jr. The executive producer was four-time Emmy® award winner David Dinkins, Jr. The telecast was directed by Bob Dunphy.

Davis’ third-straight pay-per-view headlining attraction will see him battle his outspoken lightweight foe Romero, as the 26-year-old power-punchers put their unbeaten records on the line. The event will mark Davis’ return to Southern California after he knocked out Hugo Ruiz in the first round in front of a sold-out crowd in February 2019.

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday from City View Terrace at STAPLES Center:

GERVONTA DAVIS

“I’m thankful to be here to give the fans another great fight. Bu nə edir. ‘Rolly’ is just here to talk. He’s trying to talk his way into winning, but he’s scared. Mən mübarizə gəlirəm.

“They only talk about his power, lakin bu boks deyil. His skills are not up to par with mine. He can’t even talk about power, because everyone knows I’m bringing it. You can shoot bullets, but how are you going to defend yourself when the bullets are shot back?

“He’s been talking for a long time. He’s trying to sell a fight, but I’m going to show him that he’s a chump on December 5. I’m not here to talk, I’m here to fight. I don’t take this personally. Mənə, this isn’t beef, this is business.

“I was on a mission when I fought Jose Pedraza for the title. I didn’t do the trash talking. I went in there and proved that I’m a top guy. This guy is just here to talk. I’m going to do the talking in the ring on December 5.

“His trainer isn’t working on anything but power. They aren’t working on any skills. He hasn’t fought anybody like me and he’s going to see the difference.

“I’ve never once turned down any fight. I’m not scared of anybody. I’m going to fight everybody. I’ll fight a heavyweight. This is nothing to me. I’ve survived a lot of stuff.

“He’s supposed to come here and sell the fight. I’m supposed to win. I’d rather punish him for 12 rounds than knock him out quick. Part of me wants to humble him, but the most important thing to do is just go out there and get the job done.

“This fight is for the fans. The fans are winning December 5. Make sure you come out and support. I’m thankful to be in this position. It’s all about my team and those people who have put me in a great position.”

ROLANDO ROMERO

“Everyone’s going to see December 5, I’m going to knock Gervonta the f*** out. I hope you hear that.

“I’ve been calling ‘Tank’ out since 2017. We were supposed to spar in 2018 and he didn’t show up to the gym. He did that twice because he knew he was getting beat. Dekabr 5, you’re getting knocked out.

“This is just who I am. This is how I was born. I came into this sport at 17-years-old and I’ve made the most out of what I’ve done. Everybody come watch me knock him out on December 5.

“He’s got such a big head, it’s going to be hard to miss it. He gets touched up by every opponent he faces. Leo Santa Cruz was beating him up and Barrios was getting to him too.

“He wants to run out of the ring whenever he gets hit. It happens in sparring and in the amateurs. I was the one who had to force this fight, because I’ve seen for years that he’s a chump. He’s made a career out of beating up 126-pounders.

“He doesn’t know half the stuff that I’ve seen and been through. I’m here to knock him out in the ring. He’s arrogant and tries to act like he’s tough, but I’m knocking him out.

“Manny Pacquiao has an awkward style too, and look at everything he’s accomplished. Just because I fight differently, does that mean I don’t have skills? I have my own skills and they’ve gotten me this far.

“I’m not going into the ring angry, I’m just focused.”

Floyd Mayweather, Mayweather Promotions Prezidenti

“These are two great fighters. And when I say great, I mean that every time they go out there, they produce. ‘Tank’ is a young kid from Baltimore who had a dream. He’s been through a lot. He fought his way to the top. You have to commend him for that. Olursa olsun hər kəs deyir, he earned his stripes.

“I believe ‘Tank’ is one of the best fighters in the world. ‘Rolly’ says he wants to fight the best. Come December 5, it’s going to be a hell of a fight.

“’Rolly’ is tough. He’ll fight anybody and that eagerness makes this an intriguing matchup. ‘Rolly’ just wants to prove he’s the best. He’s also a hell of a puncher. Every time we presented an opponent to him, he’s accepted every one of them.

“’Tank’ is doing record-breaking numbers. I always told him it would come in due time. I told him that the same way I sell out arenas, you’re going to do the same thing one day. He had patience and that’s what we’re doing.

“These guys are the future of boxing. I don’t see this fight going the distance. Two undefeated knockout artists. Two champions. Dekabr 5, I’ll see everyone there.”

CALVIN FORD, Davis’ Co-Trainer

“I hope you keep up this talking ‘Rolly.’ We’ll see who’s still going to be talking at the end of the night on December 5.

“Romero has an awkward style, but the beauty of having two coaches with ‘Tank,’ is that there’s nothing we aren’t ready for.

“Having Barry Hunter be a part of the camp has helped calm ‘Tank’ down in many ways. I think everyone will see the beauty of us working together in this fight.

“I don’t train ‘Tank’ for knockouts. I train him to go the distance. He can get you from round 1 qədər 12. So you better stay sharp.”

BARRY HUNTER, Davis’ Co-Trainer

“Everyone knows what we’re coming to do. I have mad respect for the other side. Bring your A-game, because we’re definitely going to bring ours.

“We’re born for stuff like this right here. Like everyone said, there’s no way this fight goes the distance.

“Everybody is working hard to be at their best, because we don’t want any excuses after it’s over with. I have faith in Gervonta. I know what he’s going to do.”

BULLET CROMWELL, Romero’s Trainer

“I know what everybody is saying about who the champ is coming into this, but the champ wasn’t born a champ, he had to rise too. Just like a young lion, ‘Rolly’ is ready to rise.

“I’m an L.A. guy. When we come back here, we’re fighting for a legacy. It’s not just a belt and money.

“I told ‘Rolly’ that Gervonta Davis is standing in the way of changing your family and your legacy. We got a job to do.

“I don’t care about pure boxing or any style. I took karate, street-fighting and boxing, and I put it all together. Combined with a puncher with ‘Rolly’s’ power, and with his grind and grit, it’s a perfect match.

“I have a lot of respect for ‘Tank’ and his team. O, böyük bir döyüş var, but Rolly is next up. He’s going to be the new WBA champion on December 5.”

LEONARD ELLERBE, Mayweather Promosyonlar CEO

“We’re excited to bring this huge event to Los Angeles at STAPLES Center on Sunday, Dekabr 5. This is a tremendous matchup and the fans should be excited. There’s a lot of buzz already and tickets are going fast.

“These fighters truly despise each other. It’s rare you see that in boxing. Ilə 2019, me and Floyd were at the Errol Spence Jr. vs. Mikey Garcia and we were talking and all of a sudden Davis and Romero were ready to go at it at ringside. Floyd told them that they could do it in the ring, and now here we are.

“’Tank’ is without a doubt the most exciting fighter in the world. He’s also one of the biggest attractions and one of the best fighters in the world. ‘Rolly’ has let it be known that he’s been ‘trolling’ ‘Tank’ and I’m sure on December 5, ‘Tank’ will be doing whatever he can to shut ‘Rolly’ up.

“’Rolly’ is a very explosive fighter and anytime he steps into the ring, he’s looking to get his opponent out of there. He never lacks confidence and he’s confident that on December 5 he’s getting the job done.

“With two tremendous power punchers like this, there’s no way this fight doesn’t end in a knockout. Tune in December 5 and expect someone to get knocked out.”

STEPHEN Espinoza, President of SHOWTIME Sports

“For SHOWTIME Sports, 2021 has been one of the strongest years on record. We have delivered a total of 42 hadisələr, half of which ended in knockouts. On December 5, I expect this won’t go the distance, və ya, with these two hard hitters.

“Week after week, year after year, SHOWTIME continues to be the standard of this sport. No one in combat sports is putting on better, or more meaningful fights than us.

“As we enter Gervonta’s 11ci fight with SHOWTIME, he has never been down, and he has continued to shine. When other fighters are talking, ‘Tank’ is fighting and selling out arenas.

“’Rolly’ has also never been downed as a pro. He is a hard hitter and is one of the best talents in boxing, and he will be the first to tell you.”

ATLANTA (İyun 27, 2021) – Gervonta “Tank” Davis, one of the biggest stars in all of boxing, put on a career-defining performance Saturday night live on SHOWTIME PPV from the award-winning State Farm Arena in Atlanta, scoring a scintillating 11ci round TKO over the previously-undefeated Mario Barrios to capture the WBA Super Lightweight Championship in the action-packed Premier Boxing Champions event. Watch the stoppage HERE.

“I made it tough. I definitely could have made it easier but I went up two weight classes and I got the job done,” said the 26-year-old Baltimore native, who was headlining his second SHOWTIME PPV. “I hit him with some clean shots, but I’m the type of fighter that wants to catch you with clean shots. I don’t just want to throw any type of shot. The shots I was throwing were missing, but eventually I caught up with him.”

In a fight that lived up to its potential, Davis (25-0, 24 Kos) and Barrios (26-1, 17 Kos) combined to put on an unforgettable main event in front of a sold-out crowd of 16,570. After a slow opening four rounds in which Davis landed just 11 punches, the fight produced fireworks beginning in the fifth round. In the eighth round, “Tank” sent “El Azteca” to the canvas for both the first and second times of his career. Ilk, Davis connected on a sweeping right hook that sent the former champion to the canvas. Moments sonra, a straight left hand by Davis dropped Barrios again. The brave Barrios rose to his feet, surviving Davis’ attempts to finish him in the eighth.

With International Boxing Hall of Famer and promoter Floyd Mayweather encouraging Davis in his corner, the southpaw came out rejuvenated in the eleventh round, realizing that the fight could be close on the scorecards. “Tank” dropped Barrios for the third time in the fight, this time with a left uppercut to the body. The bloodied Barrios rose again, only to be greeted with another barrage of punches from Davis. Referee Thomas Taylor stepped in to stop the fight at 2:13 of the eleventh round.

“I knew for sure if I catch him, I’m crackin,” Davis told SHOWTIME’s Jim Gray. “So I caught him, və bu göstərdi. My coach was telling me to go to a jab style but I’m a southpaw so they know I’m going to that jab side. So I would try and bait him in. I faked like I was going left, and I threw my right. And my hook over top, and that’s where I caught him.”

In the final six-and-a-half rounds, Davis landed 85 punches. O endi 45 onun gücü punches yüzdə (82/182), while Barrios more than held his own, out-landing Davis in six of the ten completed rounds.

“I knew he was hurt. I just had to catch him at the right time,” Davis continued. “Floyd [Mayweather] came to me and was honest and said I was down,” continued Davis, who was actually ahead on all three judges’ scorecards at the time of the stoppage. “So he said ‘Show me that you’re great.’ And you know how we do it in the doghouse, körpə!"

Qələbə ilə, Davis now holds world championships in three different divisions simultaneously, a feat only accomplished by a few other fighters in history, including Henry Armstrong and Canelo Alvarez.

“He has the potential to be one of the greatest ever,” said Mayweather. “When I first met ‘Tank’ when he was 14 və ya 15 dək təvəllüd, I told him I’d make him a world champion. And that you’ll be one of the best someday. I’m proud of him.”

“I’ve never been a hater. Congrats to ‘Tank’,"dedi Barrios. “He came here and did his thing. It was nothing short of an exciting fight and that’s exactly what both of us predicted. He was the better man tonight, but I’ll definitely be back.

“’Tank’ is explosive. He caught me slipping and it’s boxing. Günün sonunda, one punch can change the fight. That’s exactly what I felt happened. Congrats to him.”

In a back-and-forth co-main event, Orlando nin Erickson "Hammer" Lubin (23-1, 17 Kos) overcame some adversity to score the most important victory of his career over former unified world champion Jeison Rosario (20-3-1, 14 Kos). The WBC No. 1-ranked contender at 154 manat, Lubin scored a sixth-round KO (1:42) in the WBC Super Welterweight Title Eliminator. Watch HERE.

“I just followed the game plan,” said the 25-year-old Lubin, who improves to 6-0 since suffering the only loss of his career to 154-pound kingpin Jermell Charlo. “I would just go back to my corner after each round and Coach [Kevin] Cunningham and my team would just say, ‘Stick to the jab. Stay consistent with your jab.I’m way faster than him and I knew he had good power and he was trying to counter me. So I would fade him out and use my jab consistently.”

Üçüncü turda, Lubin nearly put an early end to the action with a huge frame that had Rosario on the back foot. In the closing moments of the round, Lubin landed a right hook that had Rosario wobbling back to his corner after the bell rang. Miraculously, in the next round, Rosario was able to recover and completely turned the tables, wobbling Lubin with a left jab.

The action turned up even more in the sixth round. Lubin, sensing that Rosario was susceptible to the body attack, landed a vicious left-right body combination that sent Rosario to his knees in what ultimately proved to be the turning point of the fight. Təsbeh, clearly hurt, was never able to recover and Lubin finished him off moments later against the ropes.

“I started to hurt him in the body as soon as the first round started,” the 2016 “Prospect Of The Year” Lubin said. “I started with the body and I saw him grunt. So I was able to hurt him to the body. I just wanted to distract him with the jab, then go downstairs. And I was able to get him out. I knew even if he got up after the knockdown that the fight was over. I know I’m a great finisher and I knew I was going to get him out of there as soon as I saw him drop.”

Lubin landed 44 onun gücü punches yüzdə (80/288) və 20 of his landed punches were to the body. Qalibiyyətlə, Lubin puts himself squarely in the picture for a second world title opportunity.

“I want a shot at the world title next,"Dedi. “I want everyone at 154 manat. Mən Xeyrəm. 1 in the WBC but I chose to fight Rosario. I don’t duck anybody. I want to say that I fought everyone in my division when I win the world title.”

“Right now, I feel so bad,” said Rosario. “There is no lesson to be learned yet, everything is so raw still. I lost again, and it’s so frustrating. I was convinced I was going to win. The fight started to turn in the second round. I was just trying to keep up and listen to my corner. Lubin is a great fighter. He deserved to win. I hope he enjoys his victory.”

On the biggest stage of his career, Dominican Republic’s Carlos Adames (20-1, 16 Kos) rose to the occasion, scoring a highlight-reel third-round knockout over the streaking Alexis Salazar (23-4, 9 Kos) in the second fight of the pay-per-view. dayandırılması vaxt idi 2:59 Üçüncü turun. Watch the KO HERE.

In the eventful and decisive third round, referee Jim Korb deducted two points from Adames for excessive holding. Lakin, Adames made certain that the point deduction would have no impact on the fight’s result. He dropped Salazar with a lead left hook flush on the chin, a punch that Salazar never saw coming. The 25-year-old Mexican was able to get back to his feet, but Korb called for the stoppage when it was evident that a dazed Salazar was unable to continue.

“I was in control the entire fight, and that’s what reduced him to turning around at times,” said the 27-year-old Adames. “I was working with the jab to the body at first so that was working, and then I came with the left hook. I did my job and followed my strategy from A to Z and was able to succeed the way I wanted to.

“The key moment of the fight was when I managed to disrupt his focus. Once I was able to do that then it was easy pickings for me.”

I was feeling good in there and I thought I was winning rounds,” said Salazar, whose 15-fight win streak was put to an end with one punch. “But he started grabbing me and that’s when he got me with an uppercut. That swung the fight. I just have to get back to work and keep looking for more opportunities.”

In the opening bout of the SHOWTIME PPV telecast, ağır-vuruş Batyr Akhmedov (9-1, 8 Kos) scored a TKO victory over former world champion Argenis Mendez (25-7-3, 12 Kos) in a 12-round WBA Super Lightweight Title Eliminator. Mendez suffered a right hand injury and did not get off his stool to come out for the ninth round. The official time of the stoppage was 3:00 of round number eight.

“The fight went as planned,” said Akhmedov, who overcame the first cut of his career over his left eye after an accidental head clash in the second round. “We were expecting a tough fight like that. I’ve been out of the ring for a long time, so I needed to get those rounds in. My plan is to fight for the world title next. We knew he would be uncomfortable to fight and tricky. He was headbutting and elbowing me. It was good experience for me.”

In the battle of Olympians, it was Akhmedov who pressed the action and was far busier from the onset. He went to the body early and often, desant 57 body punches, wearing Mendez down as the rounds passed by. The 30-year-old Akhmedov landed 115 haqqında 306 power punches he threw, while the 34-year-old Mendez landed 84 və onun 223 enerji punches, including just 13 body connects. Dayandırılması zamanı, Akhmedov was ahead on all three judges’ scorecards.

Mendez is a tough guy who fights top fighters,” continued Akhmedov. “We knew it wouldn’t be a walk in the park. When I hurt him, my corner was telling me to slow down and take my time before going for the knockout.”

“I started feeling (injured) in the second and third round,” said a disappointed Mendez. “My knuckles were broken and I couldn’t throw a punch anymore after I cut him with my right hand in the first round. I tried to keep fighting from the fourth round on, amma boşuna. It was useless.”

Qalibiyyətlə, Akhmedov keeps himself in the running for top fights in the deep 140-pound division. Mendez drops to 2-4-2 in last eight fights.

ATLANTA (İyun 23, 2021) – Four-time world champion Gervonta "Tank" Davis and undefeated WBA Super Lightweight Champion Mario "El Azteca" Barrios took part in a media workout to kick off fight week at the College Football Hall of Fame on Wednesday ahead of this Saturday’s blockbuster SHOWTIME PPV® hadisə.

Tickets for the live event presented by Premier Boxing Champions are on sale now and available for purchase through Ticketmaster.com.

Here is what Davis, Barrios and the rest of the fighters in attendance had to say on Wednesday:

GERVONTA DAVIS

“I’m excited to be in this position to be able to give the fans what they want to see, which is an exciting fight. Atlanta showed me love the last time I came, so why not come back?

“This is one of my toughest fights on paper. I’ll be ready and hopefully he’ll be ready, and we’ll give the fans what they want to see.

“Las Vegas is definitely a boxing town. My team is there at Mayweather Promotions and I brought my personal team out there as well. We’re all a family. We train together, get along, and help each other.

“There is no pressure on me, I am just going out there to do my job. It’s just another day at the job for me. Hopefully he’s ready because I’m definitely ready and we can give the fans what they want to see, which is a knockout.

"[Məhəllə] is a young champion. I’m going up two weight classes to face him. If they don’t give me the respect after this, I don’t know what I have to do. It’s pretty cool. This is actually the first time I’m fighting at this weight class. Whatever opportunities they give me at 135, və ya 140, I’ll take them.”

MARIO BARRIOS

“This is all brand new, but I’m taking it all in and excited to be in Atlanta. I’m just excited to go out there on Saturday and give everybody a great fight.

“No doubt about it, Tank is by far the toughest test for another title defense and I’m going to do whatever it takes to be successful on Saturday. There’s going to be fireworks on Saturday.

“This is a huge opportunity and I’m very excited for this chance. This is a very winnable fight for me, regardless of what everyone has been saying. I’m just excited to be back in the ring and in Atlanta.

“I think it’s not going to be until we both get in the ring that people realize how much size I really have for 140 manat. Somehow, he’s still the favorite although he’s the challenger in this fight. I just take that as more motivation for me.

“Height-wise, reach. Those are the major advantages. I’m just as dangerous as he is. And just as explosive and just as fast. And I will show that on fight night.

“When they came to me, I said let’s do it but I was like, ‘I’m not going down to 135,’ and they said, ‘Nah, he’s going to come up.’ And I said, ‘Even better.’

“I’ve seen him fight plenty of times. He’s a great fighter and he’s been very successful at the lower weight divisions against the smaller opponents. But this is a different fight for him.

“I didn’t take too much from the Leo Santa Cruz fight. Mən hiss [Gervonta] fought him the way he did because he didn’t respect Santa Cruz’s power. But with our fight he’s going to have no choice and he’s not going to fight me the way he fought Santa Cruz. Whatever he does fight night, I’m going to have to adapt.

“I’ve been boxing just as long as he has and I have an excellent boxing IQ, just as he has. It only takes one punch to change a fight, and he definitely has that one punch. But I’ll find out if that power carries over to 140 manat. "

ERICKSON LUBIN

“We always work hard. Every camp is hard. It’s just that this time we added a little longer. We’ve been working since my last fight and I’m just so excited to go out there and display my talents.

“Me and Jeison Rosario, we’re both hungry. I just think I want it more and my preparation is going to speak for itself and the fans can only expect fireworks and the best of me.

“It’s not just one thing we’re working on; we’re working on everything to be our best. Everything is clicking on all cylinders right now. I feel I’m ready to fight. I’ve been ready to fight weeks ago. Everything is going to show on Saturday night.

“I’ve seen him fight against Charlo and others – I’ve seen enough. I know what I have to do to get him out of there. I’m a competitor and want to give the fans the best show.

“My loss affected me and motivated me big time. I know my abilities and I know what I’m capable of, so I just went back to the drawing board and took it all in. I understood how serious this sport is, and how unforgiving this sport is. So I knew I had to go out there and do things different to take my career to another level. That’s what I did.”

CARLOS ADAMES

“I felt great when I got the call to be on this card. I was very happy to get this opportunity.

“There are four corners in the ring, I am going to catch him eventually. Outside of the ring he may be able to run from me, but inside the ring he won’t be able to.

“It’s about a sense of responsibility. I’m always ready to fight regardless of how long I have to prepare. My responsibility is to always be ready whenever I am called upon to put on a good show for the fans.

“It’s a great opportunity and I’m very thankful to PBC and SHOWTIME for having me in consideration. I want to show what I am worth on Saturday.

“I know that my opponent is an aggressive fighter who throws a lot of punches with his right hand. I will be ready for anything. I have the capacity to adapt to whatever he wants to do, so I don’t care what he comes with because I am going to be ready.

“Being with PBC makes me feel closer to the belts. Now all I have to do is go in the ring and show what I am capable of to earn those belts as soon as possible.”

ALEXIS SALAZAR

“I had a lot of emotions when I learned I would be fighting on this card. Bir şey daha çox, it was a dream come true because I have worked my entire life for this. I thank God for this opportunity and I’m going to take advantage of it.

“I can’t stay in front of my opponent for too long, I need to box against him. It’s what I know how to do and it’s what I’ve been preparing to do.

“I feel great and I feel really ready for this fight. This is my first time fighting in Atlanta, it’s a really nice city.

“It’s a great motivation for me to be moved up to the pay-per-view card. I feel more motivated to do what I know how to do. I train and work hard every day, so nothing’s new.

“I want to prove how ready I am and to reach new heights. I want to show people wherever you are from, it’s possible to reach your dreams. I train every day, and work hard every day and there is no better motivation for me than to work this hard and to fight on this stage.

“I’ve been getting great sparring and I’ve been training at Wild Card in Hollywood, and those guys are warriors. All my sparring partners are hungry and this past week they all showed it.

BATYR AKHMEDOV

“It is my first time being in Atlanta and it’s an honor for me to fight here on such a great card in front of such great people.

“Thank you so much for all of your support. I fought Mario in a World Title fight and went through a war, and now we work on the mistakes. I am ready to put on another performance, and I’ll do my best for the fans to enjoy an exciting fight.

“Under my coaches, Joel and Antonio Diaz, I have the best team in the world. It is a learning process every time whether it’s a win, lose, or draw. You have to make adjustments to your performances and that is what we did.

“I will do my best to bring the action and make the fans remember this fight. I already like the city of Atlanta. You can see right away that people like boxing here. It’s going to be a good card with good fights.

“I am very happy with the experience I have gotten in my previous fights and I expect it to help me in the future.”

Argenis Mendez

"Mən böyük hiss, I’m very happy and very excited. I’m very happy to be here today and excited to leave with a victory.

“The most important thing is coming away with the victory. I am very focused on the fight this Saturday.

“The main event is really none of my business because in the end, I am focused on my fight. After Saturday night, I will care about whichever one of the two in the main event wins their fight because then they will be my next opponent.

“I think this will be an interesting fight because boxing has changed. Akhmedov is an Olympian, and despite the fact that he has fewer fights, he lost a controversial decision to Mario Barrios. I think this fight will present a lot of different challenges and it will be an interesting fight for everyone to see on Saturday night.

“My training was a bit peculiar in Manchester, İngiltərə, which was a different setting for me. Mən bunu hər ikinci sevdi. My coach couldn’t be here because of COVID-19 circumstances, but I am still supported by my team right here which is great. I’m really excited to show what I have been working on this Saturday night.”

“This has been the best camp of my life. I know it sounds cliché, but it really has been. Mən son mübarizə bu yana idman zalı olduğunuz. I made a few mistakes in that fight, but Kevin Cunningham and I have been at it since last year and we’re coming to make a statement.

“This is a stacked card and we’re excited to be a part of it. I’m ready to show everyone that I’m the best fighter in this division.

“This is going to be a fan-friendly fight. I can mix it up, box or bang. Rosario always comes forward. The fans are going to love it. I’m not the fighter who tries to find an easy way out. I’m looking to make a statement.

“I think that I’m a totally different fighter than when I trained with his coach, Herman Caicedo. Me and Kevin have worked on a lot of things that regular southpaws don’t have. I’m coming in with a game plan that’s like a jigsaw puzzle. I think this is the wrong fight for Rosario to take coming off a knockout loss.

“This fight comes down to who wants it more and who prepared better. I have power too. He’s got to have the skills and have his mind there. I know I’m ready mentally. I can’t wait to fight.

“I gained a lot of experience fighting Nathaniel Gallimore and Terrell Gausha. Those are top contenders. I don’t want any tune-up fights, that’s why I took this fight against Rosario. I gained a lot of confidence and everything is clicking for me right now.

“When I become world champion, I want to be able to say that I’ve beat all the top guys in the division. That’s just how I am. Mən rəqib deyiləm. Make sure you tune-in on June 26.

“It doesn’t matter if I knock Rosario out or if I don’t. My job is to look good and come out victorious. I’m going to go in there and show the world that I can make anyone in this division look bad.”

JEISON ROSARIO

“I feel very healthy and very strong. It’s been a great camp so far and probably one of the best camps I’ve had in my career. I’m already at the weight and I am ready to go. The Jermell Charlo fight is the past. That’s over with. This is a new camp and I feel very strong. We’re moving forward.

“I changed trainers just because I was looking for a change. Not necessarily because I lost, but because it was just the right timing. Təəssüf ki,, it came with a loss, but that was not the reason for the change. We’ve known each other for some time. I know Herman Caicedo’s style. It’s no nonsense. No bəhanələrlə. It’s all or nothing and that’s what I wanted moving forward.

“First and foremost, I have the power to knockout Lubin and anybody in the 154-pound division. The camp that I’ve had, and the little tidbits of southpaw knowledge that I’ve picked up on, make me confident that I can knock Lubin out.

“What happened in the Charlo fight was the fluke. Me winning the titles was not the fluke. I’m going to show everybody that I will bounce back from that loss and win my next fight. I have no problem taking this fight. It’s not a mistake at all. Bu nə edir. Biz mübarizə. I’m very excited for June 26 and I expect Lubin to bring his best.

“I actually watched the Charlo fight for the first time last night. Açıq-aydın, I learned from my mistake and worked to correct it in this camp. I’m looking forward to showing what I’ve learned from that defeat on June 26.

“At 154 manat, I can knock anybody out. I have seen some of Lubin’s fights just as a fan and he is a great fighter. It’s not easy to land shots on him or land a home run shot. So that’s not the game plan. Açıq-aydın, there is a game plan and if I do land on him, I feel that I can knock him out. But I won’t just go in there trying to land a shot on the chin.

“I’m the type to take advantage of an opportunity when it presents itself. This is another opportunity to get right back in the picture and fight for a title, so you have to take this. Not everybody would. Erickson did and I’m cut from the same cloth. It’s the opportunity and the pride of fighting the best.”

JULIAN WILLIAMS

“Camp is going really well. I’ve been out in Las Vegas with SugarHill Steward grinding and putting in the work. The fans can expect an explosive performance and a victory for myself on June 26.

“I just have to be myself on June 26. I think I’m more skilled than anyone else in the division and I plan on proving that again against Brian Mendoza.

“I’ve known who Brian Mendoza is. I expect him to get beat. O, layiqli döyüşçü var, but victory is the only thing on my mind.

“I don’t want to talk about what happened before the Rosario fight because it’s in the past. I don’t want to make any excuses. It wasn’t that I didn’t focus or train hard. Hal-hazırda, I’ve had a great camp and I’m prepared to win.

“With me, you’re always going to see a hungry and focused fighter in the ring. I don’t know if I’ll look much different. I think with a new coach it takes some time for the changes to start setting in.

“I went through a four-week training camp before my fight in December was cancelled because I got COVID-19. It was almost a full camp and it definitely kept me motivated going into this next training camp for this fight.

“I’m the best fighter in the division. I just lost, that’s all. LeBron James and Michael Jordan had bad nights, I can have a bad night too. I’m still the best in the division and I’m anxious to get back in the ring.”

BRIAN MENDOZA

“Training camp has been going great. I’m out here in Las Vegas, çox. I’ve just been grinding. This is a very big opportunity for me and I plan to take full advantage of it. Everybody can expect one hundred percent and everything I have in me.

“It’s not about looking back at the one blemish on my record and crying about what happened in the past. There’s always a million excuses behind the scenes, lakin bu nə. I learned from that loss and you guys have seen the change in my performances since that fight and how I was more comfortable at 154 pounds in my next fight. I feel like this next fight will pull out even more from me. You guys will see another big jump in my skill level on June 26.

“I do feel that I have everything to gain in this fight and nothing to lose. I keep telling people on fight night that you’re not going to see somebody that’s just happy to be here and happy to get to this point. I have big goals and this is the perfect fight. So you’re going to see me coming with everything I have and coming for the victory. I have everything to gain.

“I feel like I’m catching Julian Williams at the right time because of where I am in my career. It’s about me. This is the right time. I’m 27-years-old and I’ve been a pro for many years now. I just feel like the schooling that I’ve had is really starting to come out and I’m hitting that next level. I’m not worried about what’s going on with Williams. I know he’s still coming with everything he has to prove that he still has it and that he’s still in the mix.

“A lot of people get to this point and they get a big fight like this and they think they’ve made it. They get happy just to be here, but you won’t see that at all with me. I’ve always visualized being at the top of this sport and climbing to the very top. I’m taking full advantage of this opportunity and you’re going to see somebody very hungry on June 26.”

LEONARD ELLERBE, Mayweather Promosyonlar CEO

“This is a really terrific card from top to bottom. Julian Williams is one of my favorite fighters. He’s a former unified champion who’s going to take on the tough Brian Mendoza. Williams is looking to make a big statement that he’s still a force and that he’s ready to get back in the mix with the other top 154-pounders.

“The co-main event could be a main event on its own. With Lubin and Rosario, we’re really excited to see who will emerge from that fight ready to challenge for a world title once again. We can’t wait for June 26.”
