Aquí está o que os participantes tiñan que dicir:
JACK Badou
“I’m looking forward to another victory. Esta vai ser unha loita dura, pero eu estou listo. 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 horas, but I feel brand new.
“I still feel fresh! Campo de adestramento é 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 por cento. 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, en 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). El é un bo boxeador, 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, Eu son 36 anos, 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 O León é. People will know that O León 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
“Campo de adestramento foi indo ben, 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. así, 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.”

“Bute is a much, much tougher opponent that Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., but I’m ready for him.

Floyd Mayweather, Presidente de Promocións Mayweather
“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 por cento.
“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

“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 & Director Xeral, 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 against – a world champion and a winner.
“I’m too good for him, moi rápido, moi forte, 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.”

The winners will meet in a super middleweight world-title unification fight later this year.
Toma (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 e 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,” dixo 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,” Dixo Bute. “I was ringside for Badou Jack’s last two fights — well 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. Pero confío en min, 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. I será o novo campión do mundo.”

“Mayweather Promotions is proud to bring another exciting night of boxing to the great boxing fans in my hometown of Washington, D.C.,” dixo Leonard Ellerbe, CEO de Promocións Mayweather. “I’m really excited about the Badou Jack vs. Lucian Bute fight. Vai ser unha gran loita. 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 “The Ripper”, of Las Vegas by way of Stockholm, Suecia, 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 Xogos Olímpicos, Jack retained his belt against former world title challenger George Groves last Sete. 12 on the undercard of Floyd Mayweather’s final fight. Toma, who fights under the Mayweather Promotions banner, was an underdog against both Dirrell and Groves. A 6-foot-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 Montreal, 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 “Chunky” DeGale, de Londres, Inglaterra, won the vacant IBF belt in his U.S. debut last May by dropping Andre Dirrell twice on his way to a unanimous decision. O 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 11th 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 libras.
Rogelio “Porky” Medina is a hard-hitting veteran with 30 nocautes na súa 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 loitas, although those defeats came against opponents with a combined record of 187-16-3, including four previously undefeated fighters.

QUEBEC, Canadá (Novembro. 29, 2015) - James Degale defendeu o seu Campionato Mundial IBF Super Middleweight nun thriller sobre cidade natal favorito e ex-campión Lucian Bute o sábado no evento principal da canle Showtime Championship Boxing.

 

Foi a primeira defensa de título para Degale, o 2008 Medalhista de ouro olímpico de Gran Bretaña que pasou na estrada para Boston para gañar o título a principios deste ano e escolleu para defender en territorio hostil.

 

Bute, que estaba tentando recuperar o cinto IBF el defendeu nove veces entre 2007 e 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, así como un arsenal de dereitos overhand, tiros do corpo e combos do Degale máis novo (22-1, 14 Kos) demostrou ser a diferenza como Degale prevaleceu 116-112, 117-111 (dúas veces).

 

"Eu son novo e estou fresco. Estou cun pico agora,” DeGale said. “I’m ready for the best in the world. Crédito para Bute – el é un gran campión e cren en min, estará de volta. "

 

"Como eu xa dixen no pasado, é un loitador de clase mundial. Eu aínda teño cousas para traballar nos próximos tres ou catro anos e eu vou ser o meu mellor. "

 

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, el non podería facer o suficiente para dominar o Brit supremamente activa, que xogou 524 golpes de enerxía en comparación con 278 para 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. Eu me sinto gran, Eu me sinto saudable e agora teño unha oportunidade para estar de volta na parte 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.”

 

Na loita de apertura na canle Showtime Championship Boxing, Eleider Álvarez gañou o dereito de afrontar WBC Light Heavyweight Campión do Mundo Adonis Stevenson cunha decisión por maioría axustado sobre Isaac Chilemba, marcou 114-114, 118-110, 115-113.

 

Alvarez, Non clasificados. 2 polo WBC en 175 libras, comezou rápido e embolsar roldas contra o Non. 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.

 

Ambos loitadores saíu cun sentido de urxencia no 12th e decidir estrofa e Chilemba gañara a rolda final da loita sería gobernado un empate.

 

"Eu sabía que tiña que rematar as últimas roldas fortes, pero eu creo que fixen o suficiente para gañar a loita,” Alvarez said. “I’m ready to accept the challenge and face Stevenson. Para ser o campión do mundo, ten que gañar o campión. Entón é iso que eu pretendo facer. "

 

Mark argumentou que ALVAREZ, que loita fóra de Montreal preto, foi o beneficiario dunha "decisión cidade natal,"Aínda que o xuíz que gobernou a loita dun empate era un local e os outros dous eran desde territorios neutros.

 

"Eu penso que eu fixen o suficiente para gañar,” Chilemba said. “But it is what it is. Creo que pode chamar iso dunha decisión cidade natal. "

 

Tras a loita, Acollida Showtime Sports Brian Custer sentou-se con Stevenson para obter os seus pensamentos sobre Álvarez-Chilemba eo seu futuro.

 

"Foi unha loita física preto,” Stevenson said. "El (Alvarez) gañou esa loita, pero era moi preto. "

 

"Falamos de Kovalev porque a WBC aínda clasifícase a n. 1 contendor. Quero esa loita ocorrer. The fans want it to happen. I said June is perfect for me. He said ‘OK, Xuño,"Kathy Duva dixo 'Non hai ningún problema, June.’ Then she said on HBO. Dixen, 'Esqueza as TVs, 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 sobreviviu a un knockdown no primeiro round para chocar invicto perspectiva super lixeiro Amir Imam na loita de boxeo na canle Showtime SHO EXTREME apertura cun TKO oitava rolda (2:34).

 

Foi unha derrota esmagadora para Imam, que entrou na loita como o n. 1 desafiante obrigatorio para WBC Super Leve Campión do Mundo 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 levou o ritmo da loita, 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 exultante (15-3-2, 10 Kos), que ten perdas para loitadores cun rexistro combinado de 49-0, pleiteou seu caso para facer o desafiante obrigatorio.

 

"Eu creo que eu debería ser o desafiante obrigatorio,” Granados said. “He was in line and I stopped him. Que significa iso? Come on. I was the underdog, pero eu só vin aquí para leva-la. Eu vin para levala.

 

"É gran. Unha vez eu tiven que vacilou Eu era como, 'Ten que facelo agora. This time you’re not taking it from me.’ It was a flash knockdown. Colleu coa man dereita, pero eu estaba ben. Só aparecín dereito cara arriba e eu sabía que estaba indo a probar e rematar me. Temos de fóra e foi á dereita de volta ao traballo ".

 

A pesar da perda desmoralizante, Eu teño (18-1, 15 Kos) non se arrepentir de tomar unha loita que probablemente vai nocauteá lo da disputa do título.

 

"Sei que as persoas poderían dicir que eu non debería tomar esa loita, pero eu precisaba desa loita entre como un Tune-up para a miña próxima loita, porque eu non quería esperar para os seis a oito meses para a disputa do título mundial.

 

"A clave para a loita era meu jab, Eu simplemente non usalo abondo,” 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. Sei como loita. El é un bo loitador e iso é todo o que existe para ela. "

 

Na loita de apertura da canle Showtime boxeo en SHO EXTREME, perspectiva abondo invicto Oscar Rivas (18-0, 13 Kos) nocauteou o veterano Joey Abella (31-9, 29 Kos) en :46 da segunda rolda.
