Aqui está o que os participantes tinham a dizer:
JACK Badou
“I’m looking forward to another victory. Esta vai ser uma luta dura, mas eu estou pronto. 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 treinamento é bom. 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, em 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). Ele é um bom boxer, 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 sou 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 Leão é. People will know that O Leão 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 treinamento foi indo bem, 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. assim, 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.”

Aqui está o que os participantes tinham a dizer Sexta-feira:
JACK Badou
“I’ll be ready for this fight. Bute is a very tough opponent. I have to bring my ‘A’ game 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. Foi uma grande luta. 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. Eu me sinto bem, I started camp six weeks ago. Mais importante, 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, um grande lutador, mas sobre 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. Eu esperava que fosse uma luta muito 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 por cento. I’m working every day very tough and I am confident that everything will be great for Abril 30.”
Floyd Mayweather, Presidente de Promoções 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
“We’re very thrilled about this fight. For those of you who have not been exposed to Lucian Bute before, ele é um grande lutador. 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 & Director Geral, 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.”

No evento principal da Showtime Championship Boxing doubleheader (10 p.m. E/7 p.m. PT), WBC 168-pound champion Badou Jack defends his title against former longtime titlist Lucian Bute. The winners will meet in a super middleweight world-title unification fight later this 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, muito rápido, muito 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.”

IBF Champion James DeGale vs. Top Contender Rogelio Medina

Later This Year On SHOWTIME
Bilhetes já à venda
NOVA IORQUE (Março 28, 2016)- A three-fight series to crown a unified divisional champion will begin on Sábado, Abril 30, when WBC 168-pound champion Badou Jack defends his title against former longtime titlist Lucian Bute, and IBF Champion James Degale risks his belt against mandated challenger Rogelio Medina numa Showtime Championship Boxing doubleheader live onALTURA DE COMEÇAR (10 p.m. E/7 p.m. PT) do DC Armory em Washington D.C..
The winners will meet in a super middleweight world-title unification fight later this year.
Tomada (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,” disse 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,” Disse 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. Mas confie em mim, 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 campeão do mundo.”
Os ingressos para o evento ao vivo, which is promoted by Mayweather Promotions and Interbox in association with Matchroom Boxing, custam $200, $100, $50 e $25, e já estão à venda. Para comprar bilhetes de visita www.ticketmaster.com, locais Ticketmaster, ou ligue para (800) 745-3000.
“Mayweather Promotions is proud to bring another exciting night of boxing to the great boxing fans in my hometown of Washington, D.C.,” disse Leonard Ellerbe, CEO de Promoções Mayweather. “I’m really excited about the Badou Jack vs. Lucian Bute fight. Vai ser uma grande luta. 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, Suécia, 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 Jogos Olímpicos, Jack retained his belt against former world title challenger George Groves last Sete. 12 on the undercard of Floyd Mayweather’s final fight. Tomada, 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. A 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 em sua 36 vitórias na carreira. 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 lutas, although those defeats came against opponents with a combined record of 187-16-3, including four previously undefeated fighters.

O confronto muito aguardado médios entre o atual campeão mundial Danny Jacobs e ex-160-libra divisão campeão Peter “Chocolate Kid” Quillin headlines the new Throwdown Fantasy Boxing Game. Jacobs ($5100) é favorecido sobre Quillin ($4700) porque o primeiro é mais jovem, bigger and hits equally hard. Both are dangerous punchers but Quillin has proven to have the superior whiskers.
O favorito mais proibitivo neste jogo é Regis Prograis ($5800) contra azarãoAbel Ramos ($4000). Prograis is a rising star whose boxing skills are far superior to always tough Abel Ramos ($4000)
Outro favorito é pesado Fedor Chudinov ($5600) sobre envelhecimento ex-campeão mundialFelix Sturm ($4300). Not only has Chudinov already defeated Sturm, ele também é mais jovem, mais rápido e mais fresco.
Canhoto Crafty Jesus Cuellar ($5400) tem tamanho e poder vantagens contraJonathan Oquendo ($4300). Cuellar figures to catch Oquendo after a few feeling-out rounds.
O ex-campeão do mundo Chris Algieri ($5000) podem ter perdido suas duas últimas lutas, mas eles eram Manny Pacquiao e Amir Khan. Algieri’s aggressive style and experience should prove to be the difference against Erick Óssea ($4300).
A melhor luta da semana pode ser entre jovens, para agradar a multidão Omar Figueroa($5000) eo veterano Antonio DeMarco ($4200). The aggressive Figueroa must control the pace against DeMarco, cujos melhores dias parecem estar atrás dele.

Mais, ele é um canhoto.
Outra classe peso pesado encontra um desvanecimento Chris Arreola ($4800) luta Travis Kauffman($4500), who is moving up in clash in terms of quality of opponent.

QUEBEC, Canadá (Novembro. 29, 2015) - James Degale defendeu seu Campeonato Mundial IBF Super Middleweight em um thriller sobre cidade natal favorito e ex-campeão Lucian Bute no sábado no evento principal do canal Showtime Championship Boxing.

 

Foi a primeira defesa de título para Degale, o 2008 Medalhista de ouro olímpico da Grã-Bretanha que passou na estrada para Boston para ganhar o título no início deste ano e escolheu para defender em território hostil.

 

Bute, que estava tentando reconquistar o cinturão IBF ele defendeu nove vezes 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, bem como um arsenal de direitos overhand, tiros do corpo e combos do Degale mais jovem (22-1, 14 KOs) provou ser a diferença como Degale prevaleceu 116-112, 117-111 (duas vezes).

 

"Eu sou jovem e estou fresco. Eu estou com um pico agora,” DeGale said. “I’m ready for the best in the world. Crédito para Bute – ele é um grande campeão e acredite em mim, ele estará de volta. "

 

"Como eu já disse no passado, ele é um lutador de classe mundial. Eu ainda tenho coisas para trabalhar nos próximos três ou quatro anos e eu vou ser o meu melhor. "

 

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, ele não poderia fazer o suficiente para dominar o Brit supremamente ativa, que jogou 524 golpes de energia em comparação com 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 ótimo, Eu me sinto saudável e agora tenho mais uma chance para estar de volta no topo.

 

“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 luta de abertura no canal Showtime Championship Boxing, Eleider Alvarez ganhou o direito de enfrentar WBC Light Heavyweight Campeão do Mundo Adonis Stevenson com uma decisão por maioria apertada sobre Isaac Chilemba, marcou 114-114, 118-110, 115-113.

 

Alvarez, Não classificados. 2 pelo WBC em 175 libras, começou rápido e embolsou rodadas contra o Não. 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 os lutadores saiu com um sentido de urgência no 12th e decidir estrofe e se Chilemba tinha ganho a rodada final da luta teria sido governado um empate.

 

"Eu sabia que tinha que terminar as últimas rodadas fortes, mas eu acredito que fiz o suficiente para vencer a luta,” Alvarez said. “I’m ready to accept the challenge and face Stevenson. Para ser o campeão do mundo, você tem que vencer o campeão. Então é isso que eu pretendo fazer. "

 

Mark argumentou que ALVAREZ, que luta fora de Montreal nas proximidades, foi o beneficiário de uma "decisão cidade natal,"Embora o juiz que governou a luta de um empate era um local e os outros dois eram a partir de territórios neutros.

 

"Eu pensei que eu fiz o suficiente para vencer,” Chilemba said. “But it is what it is. Eu acho que você pode chamar isso de uma decisão cidade natal. "

 

Após a luta, Acolhimento Showtime Sports Brian Custer sentou-se com Stevenson para obter seus pensamentos sobre Alvarez-Chilemba e seu futuro.

 

"Foi uma luta física perto,” Stevenson said. "Ele (Alvarez) ganhou essa luta, mas era muito perto. "

 

"Falamos sobre Kovalev porque a WBC ainda classifica-o a n. 1 contendor. Eu quero essa luta acontecer. The fans want it to happen. I said June is perfect for me. He said ‘OK, Junho,"Kathy Duva disse 'Não tem problema, June.’ Then she said on HBO. Eu disse, 'Esqueça 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 sobreviveu a um knockdown no primeiro round para chocar invicto perspectiva super leve Amir Imam na luta de boxe no canal Showtime SHO EXTREME abertura com um TKO oitava rodada (2:34).

 

Foi uma derrota esmagadora para Imam, que entrou na luta como o n. 1 desafiante obrigatório para WBC Super Leve Campeão 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 ditou o ritmo da luta, 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.

 

Um Granados exultante (15-3-2, 10 KOs), que tem perdas para lutadores com um registro combinado de 49-0, pleiteou seu caso para se tornar o desafiante obrigatório.

 

"Eu acredito que eu deveria ser o desafiante obrigatório,”Granados disse. “He was in line and I stopped him. O que isso significa? Come on. I was the underdog, mas eu só vim aqui para levá-la. Eu vim para levá-la.

 

"É ótimo. Uma vez eu tive ele vacilou Eu era como, 'Você tem que fazê-lo agora. This time you’re not taking it from me.’ It was a flash knockdown. Ele pegou com a mão direita, mas eu estava bem. Eu só apareci direito para cima e eu sabia que ele estava indo para tentar e terminar me. Temos de fora e foi para a direita de volta ao trabalho ".

 

Apesar da perda desmoralizante, Eu tenho (18-1, 15 KOs) não se arrepender de tomar uma luta que provavelmente vai nocauteá-lo da disputa do título.

 

"Sei que as pessoas poderiam dizer que eu não deveria ter tomado essa luta, mas eu precisava dessa luta entre como um tune-up para a minha próxima luta, porque eu não queria esperar para os seis a oito meses para a disputa de título mundial.

 

"A chave para a luta era meu jab, Eu simplesmente não usá-lo o suficiente,” 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. Eu sei como ele luta. Ele é um bom lutador e isso é tudo que existe para ela. "

 

Na luta de abertura do canal Showtime boxe em SHO EXTREME, prospeto pesado invicto Oscar Rivas (18-0, 13 KOs) nocauteou o veterano Joey Abell (31-9, 29 KOs) em :46 da segunda rodada.

Eu quero que disputar o título no início de 2016 contra (atual campeão mundial de WBC) Viktor Postol.
