“The Final Call” marknadsförs i Polen av Polsat, som en del av Polsat Boxing Night-serien, förutom Main Events och Don King Productions.
TOMASZ “goral” ADAMEK: “Jag har haft ett fantastiskt läger, bra sparring partners och ett fantastiskt team runt mig. Därför att (Chycki – Adameks fysiska tränare), tränare Roger Bloodworth – de här killarna gjorde ett bra jobb de senaste två månaderna. Som Eric sa, ”Vi handlar inte om att prata vad vi ska göra, vi är redo att faktiskt göra det.’ Molina gillar att blanda ihop det, gillar att kasta slag, och är inte rädd. Detta måste vara en stor kamp just därför. Det finns inget som är efter Molina-kampen för mig. Det här är kampen som kommer att avgöra min framtid. En vinst betyder att jag är på rätt väg för stora slagsmål, att förlora betyder att jag inte kan göra det längre. Vad jag vet är att jag för denna kamp är mycket bättre förberedd än för både Glazkov och Szpilka. Men, Naturligtvis, vad som händer i ring kommer att verifiera våra ord.”
ERIC “TRUMSLAGARPOJKE” MOLINA: “För första gången i min karriär fick jag 70 dagar att förbereda; oöverträffad i tungviktsavdelningen. Vad vet jag om Adamek? Han är en krigare och människor i Polen förväntar sig fantastiska saker från honom eftersom han är en polsk boxningslegend. I mig, han kommer att ha en chans att slåss mot en av de bästa tungvikterna i divisionen och vi vet alla var vi står. Jag är mycket säker, inte bara att jag kommer att vinna detta krig på lördag, men också för att vara den första mexikansk-amerikanska tungvikten i framtiden. Människor kommer att få sina pengar värda på lördag. Jag kan garantera det. Adamek får höga betyg av WBC och IBF, de två mest aktiva organisationerna inom boxning. Lördagens vinnare kommer att vara i förarsätet för stora slagsmål i framtiden.”
MICHAL CIESLAK: “Jag trodde också att du var större. Och jag hoppas också att allt vad du säger om hur bra ditt träningsläger var är sanningen. Jag kan lova dig att jag är redo för allt. Jag är i mitt livs bästa form och jag kommer att bevisa det på lördag. Palacios, vara redo att slåss! Jag kan inte vänta längre med att sätta upp en stor show.”
FRANCISCO “Trollkarlen” PALACIOS: “Han vill behandla mig som en språngbräda men problemet med det är att jag inte är en språngbräda för någon. Jag är en sten! Du vill slå mig, du måste döda mig. Och förresten, Jag trodde att Cieślak är större. Du kan inte bedöma vad jag kan eller inte kan bara för att jag blev utslagen av Kudryashov i min senaste kamp. Det betyder ingenting. Först av allt, det händer i boxning och ännu viktigare, det har ingenting att göra med vad jag är redo att göra nu med mitt nya team och “Kyla” Wilson på min sida. Titta bara: Trollkarlstiden kommer igen.”

BELGIAN BOXER ALEX MISKIRTCHIAN GETS FEATHERWEIGHT TITLE SHOT

Lämna en kommentar
PROMOTER SALITA BACKS FEATHERWEIGHT CONTENDER
Brooklyn, NY (Mars 16, 2016) – Even the very best in the business experience setbacks and get faced with choice time. Can I learn from my mistake and turn a negative into a positive?
Alex Miskirtchian found himself enjoying his momentum up the featherweight ladder before he hit a pothole in the road last summer. The Georgia-born fighter with a 26-4-1 mark got caught by vet Cornelius Lock and had to assess himself.

He did so, and licked his wounds and got back to work. The Belgium resident, who has mostly fought in his home-land, rebounded with a win in December and is being rewarded for his perseverance with an IBF intercontinental championship opportunity.

Miskirtchian, promoted by Brooklyn’s Dmitriy Salita, will fight Vireol Simion on Mars 18, for a crack at that crown.

“Alex is fighting for a title but more importantly for a chance to come back to the top of the division,” Ordet sa.

“He learned from his US experience, against Lock, took a break and came back with extra motivation to again make a world title run. I believe Alex will put on one of his best performances in this upcoming fight. He has a great team with manager Alain Vanackère and I believe the result will be a positive one on March 18th.”

The fight against the 19-1 Romanian Viorel will unfold in Bucharest, the capital of Romania, so Miskirtchian will need to fight his best brand of boxing that evening. Hans promotor, Ord, has faith in him.

“Salita Promotions boxers are making more and more noise, around the world,” the promoter said. “I am proud of our growth and of the efforts of the fine athletes like Miskirtchian who fight for Salita Promotions!”

Encore Presentation of SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL®

Airs Immediately Following Kvällens Showtime MÄSTERSKAP BOXNING® Telecast

NEW YORK (Februari. 27, 2016) – IBF 122-pound world champion Carl Frampton unified the super bantamweight division with a split decision victory over WBA titlist Scott Quigg Lördag on SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL from Manchester, England.

 

An encore presentation of Lördagens telecast will re-air later this evening immediately following the live Showtime MÄSTERSKAP BOXNING® telecast headlined by three-division world champion Leo Santa Cruz och tidigare titlist Kiko Martinez. The SHOWTIME telecast begins at 10 p.m. OCH/7 p.m. PT.

 

The long-awaited matchup of unbeaten champions got off to a slow and tactical start, but Belfast native Frampton (22-0, 14 Kos) established himself as the aggressor and worked his jab to pocket the early rounds. Quigg didn’t come alive until after the seventh, when trainer Joe Gallagher warned his charge that he was likely down big on the judges’ scorecards.

 

QUIGG (31-1-2) pounded the body and was the aggressor in rounds eight through 11, but it was too little, too late for the Lancashire, England native. Frampton won the 12th and walked away the unified champion by scores of 115-113 for Quigg, men 116-112 twice for Frampton.

 

“I couldn’t believe it was a split,” Frampton said. “I don’t know what that lad was watching, but as long as I got my hand raised at the end of the fight, that’s the main thing.

 

“We have a great rivalry, and it was a great fight at the end. The start wasn’t great, but of course I would do it again. I’m happy to campaign at super bantamweight, but if a big fight comes calling at featherweight – Santa Cruz, Selby, any of these guys – I’m ready for them.”

 

Quigg admitted he should have pushed the action in the early rounds, but still thought he did enough to get the decision.

 

“I felt comfortable,” Quigg said. “The judges must have been counting his punches as scoring, but I thought I was blocking them. I should have started faster. I felt comfortable and I thought I was winning the rounds because he wasn’t winning clear. I’m not going to complain. Jag vill ha en returmatch. Maybe next time I’ll start a bit earlier.”

“It’s going to be a great fight, one for the ages,"Sade Frampton, the IBF champion. “I’ll win. It doesn’t matter how, KO or clear points decision.”

 

“I’m going to prove I’m the best super bantamweight,” said Quigg, the WBA titlist. “I’m going to win by knockout.”

Here’s what Frampton, Quigg and their trainers and promoters had to say in Manchester on Thursday:

CARL Frampton:

“I’m better in every department, rätt och slätt.

 

“Because of the magnitude of this fight, everything had to be perfect. I’ve done everything right this time,"

 

“This means so much; there is a lot at stake. It’s more than titles – it’s pride and bragging rights. It’s proving who is the best. Reputation is a big deal, so there is so much on the line.

 

“I’m prepared to do whatever it takes to win. I’ve punching power to KO him in any round and I’ve the boxing brain to win on points.

 

“I’ve spent 17 weeks in camp, the longest ever. I missed my son’s first steps and both my kids’ birthdays. I did that because this could be my toughest fight. I’m not going to let Scott Quigg make all that be for nothing.”

 

“It’s going to be a great fight, one for the ages. I’ll win. It doesn’t matter how, KO or clear points decision.

 

On the home-team dressing room:

“I’m contractually the A-side. It’s a question of principle.”

 

SCOTT QUIGG:

“Nobody does what I do in terms of dedication to the sport. I’ll win because of boxing brain and ability.

 

“It’ll mean everything to win. Since the age of 15, all I have done is eat, sleep and train.

 

"Lördag is my moment of destiny and, tro mig, Jag kommer att vinna denna kamp. I’ve put in too much for anyone to stop me.”

 

“Tune in for a great fight. I’m going to prove I’m the best super bantamweight. I’m going to win by knockout.

 

On the home-team dressing room:

“It’s my arena, I’m the home fighter. I want the home dressing room.”

 

SHANE McGuigan, Frampton s Trainer:

“They are two legitimate, world class fighters and there is maybe only 2 percent difference at the top level – Carl has that extra percent.

 

“As a trainer you are only as good as your fighters and I’m lucky to have Carl.”

 

JOE GALLAGHER, Quigg’s Trainer

"Han (Shane McGuigan) was a nutritionist a few years ago who asked to help Gerry Storey. He’s only famous because of his dad.

 

“They are underestimating Scott’s boxing brain and being disrespectful throughout the build-up.”

 

BARRY McGuigan, Frampton’s Promoter

“There has never been a bigger super bantamweight fight of this magnitude in Europe. It’s got a Barrera-Morales feel to hit and is going to be a magnificent occasion.

 

“I think Carl will have too much for him, but it has the potential to be a great fight.”

 

EDDIE HEARN, Quigg’s Promoter

“It’s bigger than Froch vs. Groves, because it is a global event.

 

“I’m proud to have made the fight happen. This can ignite the sport and keep it alive.

 

“The atmosphere and passion will eclipse all that has gone before. It just doesn’t get any bigger than this.

 

“I can’t see anything other than a great fight. With two fighters this talented, so much on the line and so much passion from teams and fans, you’re going to get something very special.”

Here’s what Frampton and Quigg had to say as they approachLördagens slagsmål:

 

CARL Frampton:

“I have wanted this fight for a long, lång tid. I thrive on the big occasions and there are not many bigger than a domestic super fight.

 

“I won my world title on a massive stage, Scott Quigg was handed his title after a draw. He has fought on big cards but not as a bill-topper and I genuinely don’t know if he will be able to handle this level of pressure. I’m going to use all of my experience to outbox, outfight and outgun Scott Quigg.

 

“We’ve been chasing these boys for years. They didn’t want it, end of story. Then all it took was one below par performance from me to convince his team that they should finally take the fight. If that first round in my last fight is what they’re basing their hopes of victory on then Scott is in for a big, big shock.

 

“I’ve had the best training camp of my career, I’m in the shape of my life and I’m going to become the unified Super Bantamweight World Champion.

 

“First and foremost I’m doing this for my family. I have two beautiful kids and both Christine (Frampton) and I want the best for them, that’s what drives me and makes me so focused on being the best in the world.

 

“I am 100 percent dedicated to the sport of boxing, I spend twelve-weeks in training camp in London away from home, only getting to go home a handful of times and I do this so I can be the best I possibly can.

 

“People have said Quigg trains like a machine. I can tell you I train every bit as hard if not harder, but I’m no machine. I don’t need to be programmed in order to perform.

 

“Shane (McGuigan) is a brilliant coach, I’ve been saying it all along. But now people are sitting up and taking notice. Shane and I work hard on tactics and techniques when we approach every fight, but we both know that if tactics need tweaking mid fight I can think my way through a contest. Scott Quigg can’t.”

 

SCOTT QUIGG:

“This is the perfect time now for this fight. We’re both world champions, we’re both undefeated, and I believe this is the perfect time for me to go out there and do a job on him.

 

“It’s a fight I’ve wanted for a long time. It’s a fight that’s been brewing for a long time. Seeing Carl sign on the dotted line meant that I was one step closer to achieving everything I’ve worked towards; becoming the best.

 

“I’ve always wanted the chance to prove I’m the best. Now the fight’s been made, I’m one million per cent confident that I’m going win in spectacular fashion. I can win on points, but I will knock out Carl Frampton.

 

“No-one expected me to get Kiko out of there early. If I’d have stopped him late or won on points, then Carl had already done that, so the only way I could get credit or show people what I am capable of was KO him early.

 

“With Carl and his performance in the States, they handpicked (Alejandro) Gonzalez from a list of opponents because they thought that he would be the easiest one. They wanted to go over there and look good in his U.S. debut so the Americans would rave about him – and he nearly came unstuck.

 

“We respect each other as fighters. You don’t become a world champion by chance, there’s a lot of hard work and a lot of talent involved. But they are in for a shock because they think I can only fight one way. They don’t think I can’t adapt and I’ll just come steaming forward. Maybe I will do that, but if I do come steaming forward, it’s because I am going to KO him.

 

“People are saying now that because I’ve been knocking guys out quite early that I’ve been going out for the stoppages, but that’s not the case. I’ve been going out and I’ve been boxing.

 

“If I land clean on any super bantamweight or featherweight in the world, I will knock them out. Så, it’s about just making sure I pick the right time and I open the gaps. And when the gaps are there then I’ll take them.

 

“I don’t take any notice of whether I’ve got the crowd behind me or whether it is behind my opponent, but I know for a fact that he takes comfort from having a lot of support. When he’s taken away from that, he shows his vulnerabilities. I think that will affect him.

 

“The Irish are very passionate about the sport and they know their boxing inside-out. They get behind their man and they will create a great atmosphere. The atmosphere is going to go off even more because we’re both at the top of our game and there’s a lot riding on this. There’s a lot of pride at stake – it’s going to be electric.”

 

“I got into boxing to become world champion. I’ve done that and now I’ve set new goals to reach greater heights because I want to challenge myself every day.

 

“Ricky Hatton became a crossover star and was a hit in the US. He took 40,000 Brits to Las Vegas and became a global star. That’s the next goal that I’ve set for myself and I can make it if I keep working hard, maintain my dedication and focus.

 

“Getting this fight now on SHOWTIME in the U.S. is the first step. I’ll go out and do a job on Carl, win in a spectacular fashion and that’s going to give me a boost for my profile in the U.S.

 

“I am not going to give the WBA belt up. Jag vill slåss bäst. Guillermo Rigondeaux is next because that’s what the WBA have ordered.

 

“My focus is on beating Carl. We’ll look at fighting the best out there after that. I’ve always said, ‘I’m out to fight the best and beat the best.’ So, I’m obviously going to fight Rigondeaux. I’m not scared of fighting him. I’m not shying away from the challenge. I thrive on that sort of task and fighting Rigondeaux – who’s rightly so ranked No. 1 in the division because of what he’s achieved – would be a huge challenge. I honestly believe that if the time comes and we fight, I can beat him.”

 

SHANE McGuigan, Frampton s Trainer:

“There is a lot of debate about who hits harder between Frampton and Quigg. I know Carl Frampton is the hardest punching Super Bantamweight in the world.

 

“One thing you can’t argue about is who has the better pedigree and who has the better boxing brain. Carl wins hands down in both departments and he is going to show this in brutal and clinical fashion.

 

“Carl can box off the back foot, he can fight on the front foot and he has devastating one-punch power.”

 

BARRY McGuigan, Frampton’s Promoter:

“Carl is always so cool when the heat is on him, he steps up to the plate and delivers.

 

“Even in his last fight when he didn’t get off to a great start, Carl still managed to pull himself together and do what was needed to get the win.

 

“He’s a natural born winner. I had to work very hard just to be able to compete at world level. I think the same can be said of Scott Quigg, but for Carl it comes more naturally. Couple this with his incredible work ethic and that is why Carl Frampton is the best in the world.”

Känd för sin starka karaktär och integritet utanför ringen och hans krigare instinkt inuti, Ward’s skill and talent were apparent early in his outstanding amateur career. He racked up every title in the books, kulminerade med en guldmedalj i lätt tungvikt divisionen på 2004 Olympiska spelen i Aten. As the only male American boxer to claim Olympic gold since 1996, Ward gick med något liknande av Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard och Oscar De La Hoya. Han blev professionell december 18, 2004, scoring a second round technical knockout victory over Chris Molina at Staples Center in a fight that was televised live on HBO.

Bay Area produkten återvände till ringen i juni 20, 2015 på Oracle Arena framför hans hemstad fans i Oakland, Kalifornien och gjorde en nionde omgången knockout över Paul Smith, continuing his unbeaten streak which dates back to when he was a 13-year-old amateur. Ward klev nyligen i framför kameran för en helt annan roll, a part in the New Line/Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer/Warner Bros. feature “Creed.” Fellow Bay Area natives, regissören Ryan Coogler och filmens stjärna Michael B. Jordanien, nått ut till Ward så att han kunde ge sin expertis för filmen. Förutom att arbeta framför kameran med Ward, Jordan tillbringade tid vid Ward hem gym som förberedelse för sin roll som Apollo Creed son. Now it’s time for Ward to get back to his day job when he faces the undefeated Barrera on Mars 26.

 

Born in Guantanamo Bay, Kuba, Barrera had an impressive amateur run with a record of 285-27. Som amatör, he was able to earn World Amateur Championships in Germany, Kuba, Venezuela and Central America. During his amateur career he also defeated former Light Heavyweight World Champions Chad Dawson and Beibut Shumenov. Following his defection from Cuba, where he was a member of the country’s national team, Barrera made his professional debut in 2009 with a first round technical knockout win over Anthony Adorno in his adopted hometown of Miami, Florida. He would go on to knockout the first five opponents he faced in his professional career in either the first or second round. Barrera made his television debut in January of 2015 with his appearance on ESPN’sFredag Night Fights, when he scored a fourth round knockout win over former Super Middleweight World Champion Jeff Lacy. Barrera quietly rose through the ratings of the light heavyweight division until he was afforded the opportunity to fight former Light Heavyweight World Title Challenger Karo Murat to become the IBF’s number one rated light heavyweight contender. Barrera seized the opportunity, knocking out Murat in the fifth round on December 12, 2015 in his HBO Latino Boxing debut at the Civic Auditorium in Glendale, Kalifornien. Sullivan is trained by legendary trainer, Abel Sanchez, who is best known for his work with middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin.

New Heavyweight Champ Charles Martin Says: ‘My Time to Shine Will Come!’

Lämna en kommentar
Brand new IBF Heavyweight Champion “Prince” Charles Martin (23-0-1, 21 Kos) should be on cloud nine.
In just his seventh year of boxing and slightly over third as a professional, Martin already finds himself the sixth southpaw to have ever won a heavyweight championship after scoring a TKO 3 over Ukrainian top contender Vyacheslav Glazkov last Saturday night, Januari 16, at the Barclay’s Center in New York.
Winning any world title is an amazing accomplishment that most never reach in decades of boxing. Add in that Martin took out the 2008 Olympic Super Heavyweight bronze medalist to become the second current American heavyweight champion in a suddenly rejuvenated division.
“Det känns bra,” admits Martin. “I wanted to do it fast. I couldn’t wait,” he explains of his quick ascension. “Some things they say take time but when you’re really determined to do something, you’ll do it as soon as possible.”
With his place already assured in the boxing history books and several lucrative possible showdowns on the near horizon, why isn’t Martin the happiest man on the planet?
It was the way he won.
“I have an empty feeling right now,” said the 29-year-old champion. “I was in front of so many people and it was my time to shine on Showtime and show the world my skills. I felt that he had no power and said to myself that he would be easy work. I knew I was going to have a great night. I was going to KO him and then everyone would love me… but it didn’t happen like that.”
Glazkov stopped fighting in round three due to torn ACL in his knee and Martin was declared the winner of the then-vacant title by way of injury-induced TKO.
“I wanted to win the belt my way,” continued the disappointed Martin. “He would have got knocked out eventually. It was coming to him. I never even got to use my uppercut on him, but it’s all good.”
Humble and extremely likeable, Martin remained polite, post-fight and expressed his condolences to the disappointed Glazkov. Emellertid, since that night, Glazkov has gone on to say he had “figured Martin out” and that the championship would have certainly been his had he not been injured.
“Oh my goodness, I’m trying to stay humble about the situation, but that’s so crazy what he said,” säger Martin. “If he really thinks that, he’s tripping. Things were about to get a lot worse for him. Jag lovar dig, once he started slowing down, my combinations would have started to come out. I was throwing the one/two because he was getting out of the way pretty good in the first few rounds. I was just getting started. I thought I would box him for a while and then start going at him and whip his butt. I promise you I could have. That injury saved him. It broke my heart that I didn’t get to do what I wanted. How does that happen? I was having fun.”
Martin says his team and friends and relatives have been good to remind him the abbreviated ending was out of his control. He also says he’ll take a quick vacation and then get right back to work.
So what comes next for the new American heavyweight champion?
“Tyson Fury or Deontay Wilder. I want them both. I want all the best. That’s the next move. My time to shine will come. I’m a world champion now and I can say that the belt is in the right hands. I’m not going to sit around. I want to fight.”
Martin also says that is Britain’s world champ, Tyson Fury, ever points his taunting antics at him, he won’t mind.
“It’s good for boxing for him to do that kind of stuff. Jag gillar att. It’s all business. At the end of the day he has no crazy beef with anybody. Nobody choked anybody’s mother. It’s just boxing. You got to get attention somehow. He makes people want to see a fight. We’re in the entertainment and hurt business. It’s definitely a real fight in the ring though. It’s a non-personal thing that very gets personal once they step in the ring with me. That’s two guys’ livelihood in there. That’s our income for our families.”
