Això és el que els participants havien de dir:
JACK Badou
I’m looking forward to another victory. Això serà una baralla dura, però estic a punt. I’ve been training really hard and I’m ready to get into the ring.
I’m more focused and determined now than ever to secure what is mine. The fans will have an exciting show to look forward to on Abril 30. I can guarantee that!
My daughter being born this morning is extra motivation for me and to continue working hard to provide for my family. I only slept for 2 hores, but I feel brand new.
I still feel fresh! El camp d'entrenament és bo. Everything is right on schedule. I’m feeling really focused.
Lucian Bute
The most important thing for me is to have fun when I train. My confidence level is back at 100 per cent. There’s a great atmosphere here at the gym and I have great chemistry with my trainers. I’ve done quality sparring and starting next week we’ll be reducing the training volume so as to focus more on the level of intensity.
The pressure won’t be on me because I’ll be on his turf, a Washington. He is the favorite because he’s the champion, but I’m confident and I’m able! We looked at some video of him with Howard (Grant). És un bon boxejador, but he’s not exceptional and he makes mistakes. I have experience. This will be my 13th world championship fight. My experience and my speed will make the difference.
My confidence level wasn’t at 100 percent before I fought James DeGale, but now it’s all back after performing the way I did against him. All the better for me if Badou Jack is already looking ahead to his next fight, is taking me for granted and is underestimating me. I know for my part that I can beat him. He did well in his last bout against George Groves, where he was able to come up with a good right blow that sent him to the canvas. But I’m going there to deliver.
I’ve now been training for a year with Howard Grant, who already knows me well and pushes me to go beyond my limits. We’ve developed a trusting relationship and I feel very comfortable working alongside him. It’s hard to put into words! It’s true, Estic 36 anys, but I still have some good years ahead of me in professional boxing. For Éric Lucas, who had this belt for several years, I will bring back the title to the province of Quebec.
SHARIF BOGERE
Training camp has been going tremendously well. I’m excited to get back in action on Abril 30. it’s going to be a good show. Two world titles on the line, that’s something big.
I want people to know who El Lleó és. People will know that El Lleó is here to stay. I will put on a great show as I always do.
I want to put on a good show so the fans will never forget about my presence in this division. Being born in Uganda, it’s important for me to make my homeland proud.
LATONDRIA JONES
“El camp d'entrenament ha anat bé, I am looking forward to going into the fight real strong, dominating and come out with a win. It’s important that I continue to stay mentally focused and physically ready.
I don’t really look too much into to my opponents, until I’m getting ready for that belt. As far as I know, this is her pro debut. I’m going to show her what this is all about, and give her that pro life.
I was born in D.C. de forma, I look forward to going back and fighting at the Armory to give my hometown fans what they want to see. They came to see a show, and I plan on delivering. I look forward to getting better and coming out on top. I’m working hard and taking it day-by-day. I thank God for being in this position that I’m in.

The fighters were joined by Mayweather PromotionsFloyd Mayweather i Leonard Ellerbe, Interbox’s Pierre Duc and SHOWTIME’s Stephen Espinoza as they spoke to the media about the exciting doubleheader taking place in the nation’s capital.
Això és el que els participants havien de dir Divendres:
JACK Badou
I’ll be ready for this fight. Bute is a very tough opponent. I have to bring my ‘Agame to win. Much respect to him, but he’s not leaving with my belt. Absolutely not. You can expect a very tough fight.
Bute is a much, much tougher opponent that Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., but I’m ready for him.
Bute’s fight against DeGale was one of the best fights last year. That’s the only reason he got this shot. He lost, but he looked good. Va ser una gran baralla. Abril 30 will be another great fight. And another loss for Bute.
Lucian Bute
This is a great opportunity for me to fight again for a title. Em sento bé, I started camp six weeks ago. El més important, I’m very healthy. Psychologically, I’m looking forward to becoming a world champion on Abril 30.
I respect Badou Jack. He is a great champion, un gran lluitador, però en Abril 30, I will become a world champion again. I’m looking forward to it.
I will be the new champion. I am very confident. Jo esperava que fos una baralla molt dura, but I am coming here to win.
I have a new team. They are changing some things in my work. My confidence is 100 per cent. I’m working every day very tough and I am confident that everything will be great for Abril 30.”
Floyd Mayweather, President de Mayweather Promotions
This fight is about the best facing the best. I’ve seen Bute fight numerous times and he’s a very exciting and explosive fighter. Every time he goes out there and performs he gives 100 per cent.
Mayweather Promotions is about giving people the best and most exciting fights.
I commend Badou Jack for the way that he carries himself. He is a true gentlemen and that is what this sport is all about. He’s going to continue to make a name for himself in this sport.
PIERRE DUC, VP of Interbox
We’re very thrilled about this fight. For those of you who have not been exposed to Lucian Bute before, ell és un gran lluitador. He’s been working extremely hard over the course of the last 6-12 months getting ready for a moment like this.
Bute has a very long history of fighting great fights and championship wars. Lucian will be ready for this.
Training camp is going astonishingly well. Lucian is usually more of a gentleman, so he will say he wants to do the best that he can, but I’m telling you that Lucian is going to be walking away with this belt. It’s going to be a fantastic and very exciting evening. Lucian will pull the upset on Abril 30.”
STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Executive VP & Gerent General, SHOWTIME Sports
The one comment I will make about this event, other than to point out it features four of the best fighters in the division, is that it was quite possibly the easiest event to make out of all the events we made this spring and summer. That’s a credit to the promoters and especially a credit to all four fighters.
We didn’t just make two fights here. We’ve got the winners of these fights fighting later in the year in a unification match. To be able to make two fights very quickly and to get everyone on board with fighting the winners in a unification match with no mess, no politics, no arguments and no hesitation is an accomplishment.
These are four real fighters here and they were not afraid of a challenge, they didn’t hesitate at all. This is what the sport of boxing is all about. I personally can’t wait for April 30th and for a unification later in the year.

See below for quotes from DeGale as he prepares to face Medina:
I’ve never disrespected an opponent yet in the ring and I’m not going to start now. Medina has a very good record and that means he is as dangerous and the next man. This is boxing and unless you prepare properly you get found out. I’m not going down that avenue. I’m a winner and what I do is get in the ring and win. That’s what Medina is up againsta world champion and a winner.
I’m too good for him, massa ràpid, massa forta, too quick. I’ll beat him and it is just a question of how. I don’t care how it comes as long as I look good and I give the fans what they want, another winning performance and a reminder that I am the best super middleweight out there operating today.
I respect Medina, but I belong in a different level and I will show that on Abril 30.
I’m looking forward to it because this is another chance to show what I can do in America and it is also a mini-tournament. The winner of my fight faces the winner of Badou Jack and Lucian Bute and that means a world unification clash. I want to clean up the division and I have the opportunity to do that.
I think Jack will win, but I’ve been in the ring with Bute and I know how strong he is. He is a proper fighter and I would always give him a chance against anyone. I think Jack will be too good for him, but who knows? I hope it is Jack as I’ve already taken care of business against Bute, but I want to unify the titles and that means I will fight whoever is put in front of me.
I’ve no trouble fighting in the U.S. and never will. I would love to win again and take on the winner of Jack and Bute in London, but that is down the line. What I am concentrating on right now is the next person who is standing in my way and that is Medina.
I can’t wait to get back in action because I live for fighting. It is in my blood and I know that a win over Medina means a very lucrative fight with Jack or Bute. I’m in this to make me financially comfortable for the rest of my life but above all, I’m in it for the glory.
The day I became world champion was the best of my life, along with winning Olympic Gold, and I don’t want to be a world champion for a few months. I want to be recognized as one of the greats in the super middleweight division. That means win a title and defend it against all-comers, anywhere and everywhere.

Gat (20-1-1, 12 KOs) will make his second title defense after a breakthrough 2015 campaign in which he won the WBC belt from Anthony Dirrell and successfully defended against George Groves. The southpaw Bute (32-3, 25 KOs), a former IBF champion with nine defenses between 2007 i 2012, revived his career last November with a gutsy and inspired performance against DeGale.
I’ve been training really hard for this fight and I’m excited to get in the ring,” va dir Jack. “I can’t wait to defend my title once again on Abril 30. The fans can expect to see an explosive and skillful performance from me come fight night. I believe I’m the best super middleweight in the world and that I have the skills to beat anyone I get in the ring with. I’m fully focused on Lucian Bute, but I know that a win can set up a massive fight against James DeGale and I’m going to deliver.
I’m thrilled to have this tremendous opportunity,” Said Bute. “I was ringside for Badou Jack’s last two fightswell deserved world title wins. He is a great champion. I plan to train hard and be in the best shape of my career on Abril 30. It’s my chance to win the WBC belt and become two-time world champion. I will win and give boxing fans a spectacular fight.
DeGale (22-1, 14 KOs) will make his second title defense after an impressive 2015 in which he defeated Andre Dirrell to win the vacant IBF belt and topped Bute in a Fight of the Year candidate. The hard-hitting Medina (35-6, 29 KOs), the IBF’s mandatory challenger, has knocked out three consecutive opponents.
I am delighted to be defending my world title on another great show in the United States,” said DeGale. “I won my belt in style in Boston and I’m looking forward to moving down the East Coast to the great city of Washington, D.C. It’s going to be a defining night in the super middleweight division as Badou Jack and myself look to set up a huge fight later in the year. I’m fully focused on Rogelio Medina. He’s a tough Mexican who earned his title shot. Però confia en mi, no one is getting my world title.
This is such a great opportunity for me and I can’t wait to get in the ring,” said Medina. “I’ve worked so hard for this and I am going to make the most of it. Everyone who has seen me fight knows I leave it all in the ring and you can expect to see an all-out battle on Abril 30. Vaig a ser el nou campió del món.”

Mayweather Promotions is proud to bring another exciting night of boxing to the great boxing fans in my hometown of Washington, D.C.,” va dir Leonard Ellerbe, CEO de Mayweather Promotions. “I’m really excited about the Badou Jack vs. Lucian Bute fight. Serà una gran baralla. We know Bute is tough as nails and he’s coming to take the title away from Badou. Badou is going to have to be at his best to be able to beat Bute that night. The winner of that fight will set up a spectacular unification fight with the winner of the fight between British champion James DeGale and Mexican brawler ‘Porky’ Medina. DeGale can’t take Medina lightly if he wants the unification bout. It’s going to be a thrilling night of action at the DC Armory and on SHOWTIME.
Badou Jack “El Esbudellador”, of Las Vegas by way of Stockholm, Suècia, captured the WBC 168-pound crown with a 12-round majority decision over previously unbeaten defending champion Anthony Dirrelllast Abril 24. A former amateur standout who represented Gambia in the 2008 Jocs Olímpics, Jack retained his belt against former world title challenger George Groves last Set. 12 on the undercard of Floyd Mayweather’s final fight. Gat, who fights under the Mayweather Promotions banner, was an underdog against both Dirrell and Groves. El 6-peus-1, 32-year-old has won four in a row since a shocking first-round knockout loss to Derek Edwards in February 2014.
Bute, de Mont-real, Canada by way of Romania, has been a super middleweight mainstay for the last decade. He has competed in 12 title fights since 2007, scoring seven knockouts in nine consecutive defenses of the IBF belt he won in 2007 in his adopted hometown of Montreal. During his title reign, the 36-year-old defeated the likes of Glen Johnson, Librado Andrade and Jean-Paul Mendy, but he lost the belt to Carl Froch in 2012 and a string of injuries kept him largely inactive over the next three years. Bute returned from a 19-month absence in August 2015 under new trainer Howard Grant, knocking out Andrea Di Luisa to set up the title shot against DeGale for the crown he once held. Bute stalked the switch-hitting DeGale with a relentless attack, turning in his most impressive performance in years in a close decision loss.
James “ChunkyDeGale, de Londres, Anglaterra, won the vacant IBF belt in his U.S. debut last May by dropping Andre Dirrell twice on his way to a unanimous decision. La 2008 Olympic Gold Medalist then successfully defended it last November in a thrilling shootout with hometown favorite and former titlist Lucian Bute. The 30-year-old, who’s only blemish came in a majority decision in his 11º bout against then-unbeaten George Groves, will make his third consecutive start outside his native England as he looks to become a global power at 168 lliura.
Rogelio “Porky” Medina is a hard-hitting veteran with 30 nocauts en el seu 36 career wins. He’s knocked out three consecutive opponents, including a shocking third-round knockout of then-undefeated J’Leon Love in August, 2014. Medina, 27, has suffered six losses in 42 baralles, although those defeats came against opponents with a combined record of 187-16-3, including four previously undefeated fighters.

$2000 Throwdown Fantasia Boxa Jacobs vs. Quillin titulars nou joc & Retorn de Head-to-Head jocs

Per publicació immediata
NOVA YORK (Desembre 1, 2015) – Jocs-Cap a peus, permetent als jugadors per anar 1-a-1 a qualsevol de les possibilitats de guanyar o resoldre una puntuació, retorns per a la propera $2,000Throwdown Fantasia Joc de Boxa, en línia en www.ThrowdownFantasy.com, impulsat perCompubox.

L'enfrontament de pes mitjà molt esperada entre el campió defensor món Danny Jacobs i l'ex 160 lliures divisió de campió Peter “Kid Xocolata” Quillin headlines the new Throwdown Fantasy Boxing Game. Jacobs ($5100) es veu afavorida sobre Quillin ($4700) perquè el primer és més jove, bigger and hits equally hard. Both are dangerous punchers but Quillin has proven to have the superior whiskers.
El favorit més prohibitiu en aquest joc és Regis Prograis ($5800) front underdogAbel Ramos ($4000). Prograis is a rising star whose boxing skills are far superior to always tough Abel Ramos ($4000)
Un altre gran favorit és Fedor Txudínov ($5600) sobre l'envelliment excampió del mónFelix Sturm ($4300). Not only has Chudinov already defeated Sturm, que també és més jove, més ràpid i més fresc.
Esquerrà Crafty Jesús Cuellar ($5400) té grandària i potència avantatges contraJonathan Oquendo ($4300). Cuellar figures to catch Oquendo after a few feeling-out rounds.
L'ex campió del món Chris Algieri ($5000) poden haver perdut les seves últimes dues baralles, però eren de Manny Pacquiao i Amir Khan. Algieri’s aggressive style and experience should prove to be the difference against Erick Os ($4300).
La millor baralla de la setmana pot ser entre joves, multitud-agradable Omar Figueroa($5000) i el veterà Antonio Demarco ($4200). The aggressive Figueroa must control the pace against DeMarco, els millors dies semblen estar darrere d'ell.
Un pick-em pes pesat ofereix un parell de futurs potencials reptadors al títol mundial en Dominic Breazeale ($4800) i Charles Martin ($4700). The big punching, tough Breazeale has holes in his game that he’s been able to overcome against smaller opponents. Martín, però, is a live ‘dog with the same size as Breazeale and equal power. Més, ell és un esquerrà.
Una altra classe de pes pesat troba un desmai Chris Arreola ($4800) lluita Travis Kauffman($4500), who is moving up in clash in terms of quality of opponent. Weight is always an issue with Arreola, which effects his ability to throw punches in bunches. Kauffman wants to push the pace versus Arreola, portar-lo a aigües profundes però guanyar rondes llarg del camí.

QUEBEC CITY, Canadà (Novembre. 29, 2015) - James DeGale va defensar el seu pes mitjà campionat FIB pes súper Mundial en un thriller sobre favorit local i excampió Lucian Bute en dissabte en l'esdeveniment principal de SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING.

 

Va ser la primera defensa del títol per DeGale, la 2008 Medallista d'or olímpic de la Gran Bretanya que es va anar en el camí a Boston per guanyar el títol a principis d'aquest any i va optar per defensar en territori hostil.

 

Bute, que estava tractant de recuperar el cinturó de la FIB va defensar nou vegades entre 2007 i 2012, put on an inspired and gutsy performance in an electric atmosphere to open the new Videotron Centre in Quebec City. But the unbelievable pace, així com un arsenal dels drets magnificència, cops al cos i combos de l'DeGale més jove (22-1, 14 KOs) va resultar ser la diferència com DeGale prevaler 116-112, 117-111 (dues vegades).

 

"Sóc jove i estic fresc. Estic aconseguint un màxim en aquest moment,” DeGale said. “I’m ready for the best in the world. El crèdit a Bute – ell és un gran campió i creu-me, que estarà de tornada ".

 

"Com he dit en el passat, ell és un lluitador de classe mundial. Encara tinc coses per treballar en els propers tres o quatre anys i jo seré el millor possible ".

 

Bute (32-3, 25 KOs) didn’t look anything like the fighter that lost to Carl Froch in 2012. But while the 35-year-old stalked the switch-hitting DeGale with a relentless attack, no podia fer prou per dominar el britànic supremament actiu, qui va llançar 524 cops de poder en comparació amb 278 per Bute.

 

“I think it was a great fight. I did my best tonight,” Bute said. “I think it was a close fight. He’s an Olympic champion, he’s a world champion. If the judges give him the decision I respect that. I’ll be back in the gym to work hard and continue to fight. I think it was a very close fight. I’m happy with my performance and I’ll be back in the gym to get back in the ring one more time.

 

“The last three years were difficult for me. After I lost to Carl Froch that was a very difficult period for me. I took a break, and now I’m back. Em sento molt bé, Em sento saludable i ara tinc una oportunitat més d'estar de tornada a la part superior.

 

“Maybe a few rounds I waited too much and didn’t put the punches together and I let James fight me. When I pushed pressure and pushed back I won the round.”

 

A la primera baralla per SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING, Eleider Álvarez va guanyar el dret a enfrontar-se a campió del món del CMB de pes semipesado Adonis Stevenson amb una decisió majoritària de prop sobre Isaac Chilemba, anotat 114-114, 118-110, 115-113.

 

Alvarez, No s'ha classificat. 2 pel CMB en 175 lliura, començar ràpid i embutxacar rondes contra el No. 1 ranked contender Chilemba. But Chilemba weathered the storm and fought his way back in the fight as Alvarez couldn’t keep up the pace he established in the earlier rounds.

 

Tots dos boxejadors van sortir amb un sentit d'urgència en el 12º i decidir estrofa i si Chilemba havia guanyat la ronda final de la lluita hauria estat descartat un empat.

 

"Jo sabia que havia d'acabar les rondes posteriors fortes, però crec que vaig fer prou per guanyar la lluita,” Alvarez said. “I’m ready to accept the challenge and face Stevenson. Per ser el campió del món, has de vèncer al campió. Així que això és el que em proposo fer. "

 

Marcos va sostenir que ALVAREZ, qui baralla en les rodalies de Mont-real, era el beneficiari d'una "decisió localista,"Tot i que el jutge que va dictaminar la baralla empat era un local i els altres dos eren dels territoris neutrals.

 

"Vaig pensar que vaig fer prou per guanyar,” Chilemba said. “But it is what it is. Suposo que es pot anomenar una decisió localista ".

 

Després de la baralla, Amfitrió SHOWTIME Sports Brian Custer va seure amb Stevenson per aconseguir els seus pensaments sobre Alvarez-Chilemba i el seu futur.

 

"Va ser una baralla física prop,” Stevenson said. "Ell (Alvarez) guanyat aquesta baralla, però que estava molt a prop ".

 

"Parlem de Kovalev perquè el CMB encara l'ocupa el n. 1 contendent. Vull aquesta baralla succeeixi. The fans want it to happen. I said June is perfect for me. He said ‘OK, Juny,Kathy Duva va dir 'No hi ha problema, June.’ Then she said on HBO. Vaig dir, "Oblida't dels televisors, let them talk.’ We want the fight to happen. Let the TVs work together and make it happen.

 

“I want to fight Kovalev. That’s the best opportunity for me because I want his titles. For sure, this fight will happen in June. I don’t have a problem; my team doesn’t have a problem. I want this fight in June.

 

Kovalev is scared. I talked to him, saw it in his eyes that he’s scared of me. It will happen, but I know Kovalev is scared. I want Kovalev. I’m very hungry to get his titles.”

 

Adrian Granados va sobreviure a una caiguda en el primer round a cops invicte prospecte pes súper lleuger Amir Imam al combat d'obertura de SHOWTIME BOXING EN SHO EXTREME amb un nocaut tècnic en el vuitè assalt (2:34).

 

Va ser una derrota aclaparadora per Imam, que va entrar en la baralla com el No. 1 retador obligatori del CMB pes súper campió mundial lleuger Viktor Postol.

 

Imam looked like he was going to finish the fight early after a nice left-right combo floored the Chicago native. But after escaping the first, Granados va dictar el ritme de la baralla, worked the inside and prevented Imam – considered one of boxing’s most talented young contenders – from establishing his jab. With Imam unable to keep the fight at a distance, Granados picked apart the Don King-promoted fighter. After seven rounds of punishment and Iman gasping for air against the ropes Granados finished his opponent with a series of devastating combo shots.

 

Un Granados eufòric (15-3-2, 10 KOs), que té pèrdues a combatents amb un rècord combinat de 49-0, declarar el seu cas a convertir-se en el retador obligatori.

 

"Jo crec que hauria de ser el retador obligatori,” Granados said. “He was in line and I stopped him. Què vol dir això? Come on. I was the underdog, però jo només vaig venir a prendre. Vaig venir a prendre.

 

"Se sent molt bé. Ell una vegada vaig tenir trontollar jo estava com, 'Has de treure-ara. This time you’re not taking it from me.’ It was a flash knockdown. Ell va agafar amb la mà dreta, però jo estava bé. M'acaba de fer esclatar just i jo sabia que anava a tractar d'acabar amb mi. Vam sortir d'ella i ens vam anar de tornada a la feina ".

 

Malgrat la derrota desmoralitzador, Tinc (18-1, 15 KOs) no es penedeix de prendre una baralla que probablement noquejar de contenció pel títol.

 

"Sé que la gent podria dir que no hauria d'haver pres aquesta lluita, però necessitava aquesta lluita en el medi com una posada a punt per a la meva pròxima baralla perquè jo no volia esperar als sis a vuit mesos per al títol mundial.

 

"La clau per a la lluita era la meva jab, Simplement no el fem servir prou,” Imam said. “But that’s the way it goes and I’m going to definitely come back stronger. I wasn’t thinking anything after that first-round knockdown. I’ve done that many times and didn’t think the fight was over. I wasn’t surprised at all by the way he came out. Sé com ell lluita. És un bon lluitador i això és tot el que cal fer ".

 

En la baralla d'obertura de SHOWTIME BOXING A SHO EXTREME, prospecte de pes pesat invicte Oscar Rivas (18-0, 13 KOs) noquejar veterà Joey Abell (31-9, 29 KOs) a :46 de la segona ronda.

AMIR AMOR

"Sé que estic prenent un risc en prendre aquesta baralla, però vaig a aprofitar aquesta. Realment no necessito descansar perquè estic al gimnàs de totes maneres. Així que anem a aconseguir aquesta baralla fora del camí i només vaig a esperar que la lluita pel títol mundial.

 

"No sento pressió. Jo sé el que vaig saltar en tant em vaig ficar en aquest joc de boxa professional, i tinc un bon equip al meu voltant. Som un cercle tancat i molt fort, i quan les oportunitats vénen, Vaig a estar llest per prendre avantatge d'ella.

 

"La gent està parlant de mi voler lluitar Errol Spence i venjar-se (en un passat U.S. Olímpic pèrdua assajos de boxa). Jo no tinc la venjança en la meva ment. Vull dir, Definitivament podríem fer-ho quan moc una categoria de pes, però ara mateix estic centrat en el títol de les 140 lliures tir. Vull aquesta oportunitat pel títol a principis de 2016 contra (actual campió mundial del CMB) Viktor Postol.

 

"(Postol) és un bon boxejador i ell va aconseguir el títol per una raó, però no es pot amagar i córrer per molt temps i el meu temps està arribant l'any que. Vostè aconsegueix una defensa i llavors tot em. És tot jove mestre ".

 

ADRIAN GRANADOS

"Jo diria que aquesta és la baralla més important de la meva carrera. Serà una gran baralla i estic amb ganes d'una gran nit.

 

"(Imant de) té un munt d'eines i és molt talentosa. El prendrem ronda a ronda i fer els ajustos que la lluita continua.

 

"He recuperat bé. No estic satisfet amb la forma en què la meva carrera ha anat i tenia un munt de males decisions i problemes de gestió. No em vaig portar amb mi com el meu oponent era. Però em va ajudar a créixer una mica de pell gruixuda i atributs per això estic aquí avui.

 

"M'he enfrontat a peleadores difícils abans i no és la primera vegada que he estat els de baix. Vaig a portar a terme aquest malestar.

 

"Estic buscant a sorprendre al món de la boxa en dissabte nit ".

 

OSCAR RIVAS

"La meva força és la meva velocitat i la meva manera de pressionar al meu oponent. Així que vaig després (Abell) i posarà molta pressió sobre ell fins que cau.

 

"Estic molt emocionat i eufòric per lluitar de nou en un gran escenari. Vaig lluitar en ShoBox en la meva última baralla i va ser increïble. És tan important per a mi aconseguir vist així que puc complir el meu somni i entrar a la part superior 10 en el meu divisió.

 

"Aquesta és la baralla més important de la meva carrera i l'oportunitat més gran que he tingut. Només vull assegurar-me que agafo i miro espectacular ".

"No puc trobar res hem de treballar en. Amir és fort i tècnicament sòlida i està aconseguint més experiència cada vegada que la seva lluita. Ell és un colpejador devastador. És el paquet complet i això és molt difícil de trobar. Ells no vénen al voltant amb massa freqüència.

 

"Li agradaria barallar Adrien Broner vinent. M'agradaria barallar tots els nois i unificar tots els títols l'any que. Boxa necessitarà una nova superestrella ara que Floyd Mayweather s'ha anat, i nosaltres no esperarem 15 anys per fer una altra. Crec que Amir unifica tots els títols en 140 i 147, llavors tindríem la nostra nova súper estrella dins 36 mesos.

 

"Ell ha d'utilitzar la seva jab per guanyar en dissabte. Té un bell jab, el millor jab en la boxa. I tot ha de venir a la dreta darrere d'ell ".

James DeGale

“It’s on – fight time is finally here. I feel like a beast.

"Ells pensen que serà un combat de boxa, però serà una destrucció. It will be explosive. Three rounds – place your bets. Confia en mi.

"Vaig lluitar el millor esquerrà de pes súper mitjà que hi ha a Andre Dirrell i mira el que li vaig fer. Once he feels my power that will be it. I’m going to start fast and throw loads of punches.

"El vaig observar contra Carl Froch, l'observat en contra (Lliurat) Andrade. He’s great in the center of the ring, but I’m not going to stand there. It won’t be a chess match. I’ll start fast and we’ll see how he takes it.

"Carl ho va exposar i vaig a acabar. But I don’t care about Carl Froch – he’s old. I’m the new champion. If he wants this belt, que haurà de venir aconseguir-.

“I’m an old school fighter – I don’t mind travelling to fight in my opponents’ hometown.

"Era un gran campió que ha lluitat alguns grans lluitadors per la qual cosa hauria d'obtenir elogis quan li vaig guanyar."

Lucian Bute

“It’s a great opportunity to fight for my old belt in front of my hometown fans. I think they’ll push me toward the victory. I’m looking forward to becoming world champion again.

"Crec que és el millor pes súper mitjà en el món en aquest moment, però estic molt confiat en mi mateix.

“I had a great camp. I’m just ready to become world champion again.

"Estic sana, I feel great physically. I have the power to knock him out and the skills to box him.

"Ara tinc l'oportunitat de recuperar el meu cinturó contra un altre lluitador anglès."

JIM McDonnell, Entrenador de DeGale

"He intentat tornar i fer el que Lucian ha fet i no és fàcil. Sintonitzeu la nit de dissabte, perquè el que tinc és especial, i podrà gaudir del que es veu.

“It’s tough to win your world title back. I respect Lucian for trying, però James és un lluitador de classe mundial. Ell està llest per a tot ".

HOWARD GRANT, Entrenador de Bute

“We did everything we had to do. Lucian is 100 percent prepared to surprise everyone on Saturday. Lucian knows what wearing that belt is all about – he wore it for about five years and he’s coming on Saturday to take it back to where it belongs.”

Eleider ALVAREZ

"Aquesta és la meva oportunitat en aquest moment. Tinc gana i he fet tot el que havia de fer per tenir el millor camp possible per aquesta baralla. Estic davant d'un boxejador molt intel·ligent que és tècnicament excel·lent. Però jo sempre he dit que si no m'enfronto a la millor, llavors em quedaré un boxejador ordinari. Així que he de enfrontar als millors, per ser el millor.

"Quan em desperto al matí de diumenge, Jo seré el retador obligatori pel títol ".

Marc ISAAC

"Vaig tenir un gran campament a Burbank, Qualif., entrenant allà durant sis o set setmanes. Jo crec que hauria de tenir una oportunitat de Stevenson, i si això és el que es necessita per arribar-hi faré el possible perquè això passi. Estic a punt per al repte.

"Estic lluitant una bona boxejador i ell està invicte per una raó. Però sóc aquí per demostrar que sóc el millor pes semipesado al món. Vaig a posar un bon espectacle el dissabte a la nit i tothom veurà.

"Tinc un munt de proves en la meva vida, però crec que això és el que em fa més fort i m'ha fet el que sóc avui en dia. Jo no miro cap enrere en el que ha passat i li agraeixo el que la vida m'ha donat.

“He is a great fighter and I know it won’t be an easy fight. But I’ve put in the work and I’m ready.”

MARC RAMSAY, Entrenador d'Álvarez

"Es tracta de les Grans Lligues en aquest moment. Aquests dos són els millors pesos lleugers al món. He tingut l'oportunitat de treballar amb Isaac perquè ha discutit a Mont-real amb Artur Beterbiev durant dues setmanes. Així que jo el conec bé. Ell és un boxejador molt complet i complex. Però jo confio en el meu ple combat per guanyar aquesta lluita. És la seva oportunitat ".

Buddy McGirt, La Marca'S Entrenador

"Només vull dir que és genial ser part d'aquest esdeveniment. Sr. DeGale és el campió i ve al Sr.. País del Bute per barallar. Això és el que les necessitats de boxa. Es necessita més baralles com aquesta per mantenir-lo en augment.

"Per que la nostra lluita continua amb el Sr.. Alvarez, Crec que a més de (Sergey) Kovalev, aquests dos són els millors pesos lleugers al món. I jo crec que haurien d'estar lluitant pel títol i no una eliminatòria per veure que baralla el campió ".
