Get to know more about the rising star as he talks about his introduction to the sport and some of his personal favorites:
(On his team): I have the best team in the world. Ernesto Rodriguez is my head trainer and we do our work in Temple Hills, Μέριλαντ. Ernesto is great because he trains me for the style that fits my skills best.
There is no ego in my team. We’re all working toward the same goal and everyone plays their role perfectly. With each fight we’re getting closer to reaching the ultimate goalbecoming a world champion.
(On his start in boxing): My father first put me in the ring to learn how to defend myself. I was 15-years-old and didn’t really know how to fight. I took to it quickly though and it was obviously one of the best things that ever happened to me.
(On his nickname): I got my nickname from the gym. I looked calm and collective in the gym and people noticed. They said I looked swift in there. Now it’s “Swift” και “Swift” on the same card and it’s going to be electric.
(On his boxing idols): I tried to emulate a lot of defensive fighters. Roy Jones Jr. and Floyd Mayweather are my favorite fighters of all time. I liked James Toney because of his shoulder roll and the Philly shell style.
(Favorite sport/team): I watch football. I only the watch the Washington Redkins though. I’ve always been a huge fan.
(Favorite television show): Power on Starz
(Favorite movie): Deadpool
(Favorite junk food): Pizza
(Favorite health food): Kale
(Celebrity crush): Keri Hilson and Nia Long
(Perfect Vacation): Definitely a cruise to Puerto Rico. I’ve never been there but I want to experience it.
(On his homemade “All Access” videos): I just love to be out there and giving fans a chance to feel connected to me. My childhood friend, Christopher Walton, picked up a camera and just started recording me in the ring and outside of the ring one day. He started getting some better equipment so we decided to do these videos to help promote me. The fans are important to me and I want them to feel like they’re a part of my journey.

Ντάνι Γκαρσία
“Το να είσαι σε θέση να συνεργαστείς με το Philabundance είναι κάτι τεράστιο. Στο τέλος της ημέρας, αυτό είναι όλο. Όταν είσαι τυχερός, η δουλειά σας είναι να δώσετε πίσω και να αλλάξετε τη ζωή κάποιου άλλου. Ανυπομονώ για μια υπέροχη βραδιά και μια μεγάλη προσέλευση.
“Όλοι έχουν περάσει δύσκολους καιρούς. Όλοι έχουν περάσει στιγμές όπου χρειάζονται επιπλέον βοήθεια. Θα κάνουμε μια μεγάλη διαφορά εκείνο το βράδυ και θα είναι για πολλούς ανθρώπους που το χρειάζονται πραγματικά.
“Θέλω να ευχαριστήσω την πόλη της Φιλαδέλφειας. Είμαι απλώς ενθουσιασμένος που παλεύω στο σπίτι. Αυτή η κάρτα θα επιτρέψει σε πολλούς μεγάλους ντόπιους μαχητές να βρίσκονται σε μια μεγάλη σκηνή.
“Δεν μπορώ να κοιτάξω τον Σαμουήλ Βάργκας και ξέρω ότι ο εκπαιδευτής του έχει ένα ζευγάρι στο μανίκι του. Ξέρω ότι πρόκειται να πολεμήσουν, αλλά ποτέ δεν θα υποτιμήσω κανέναν. Έχω μάθει τα μαθήματά μου για να γίνω πρωταθλητής που είμαι σήμερα.
“Ξέρω ότι ο Βάργκας ξέρει πώς να κερδίσει. Έχει κερδίσει πολλά στην καριέρα του. Θα πάω εκεί έξω και απλά θα πολεμήσω. Αν πάει η απόσταση, τότε το κάνει. Δεν μπορώ να τον υποτιμήσω. Θα κάνω μια υπέροχη παράσταση και θα κυριαρχήσω.
“Οι άνθρωποι ενεργούν όπως ο Keith Thurman έχει ένα ακρωτήριο σαν τον Superman και μπορεί να πετάξει. Θέλω οι άλλοι πρωταθλητές να πιστεύουν ότι είμαι ευάλωτος. Αυτοί είναι οι ευκολότεροι αγώνες μου. Πρέπει να ξεπεράσω αυτόν τον αγώνα για να φτάσω στον επόμενο.
“Νιώθω ότι το χρωστάω στους οπαδούς μου για να πολεμήσουν στη Φιλαδέλφεια. Την τελευταία φορά που αγωνίστηκα σε αυτόν τον χώρο ήταν σε μια κάρτα Bernard Hopkins και πήρα ένα μεγάλο νοκ-άουτ. Σκοπεύω να κάνω το ίδιο Νοέμβριος 12.
“Έχω μια καλή ομάδα γύρω μου. Δεν πρέπει να υπάρχουν περισπασμοί που οδηγούν σε αυτόν τον αγώνα. Όλοι οι άνθρωποι που αξίζουν να πάρουν εισιτήρια θα είναι εκεί και δεν θα με αποσπάσουν τίποτα. Είμαι 100 τοις εκατό επικεντρώθηκε σε αυτόν τον αγώνα.
“Είμαι στο σημείο της καριέρας μου όπου δουλεύω πιο έξυπνα και πιο σκληρά. Όπως Νοέμβριος 12 θέλουμε να δώσουμε στην πόλη της Φιλαδέλφειας μια νύχτα να θυμόμαστε. Δεν μπορώ να παραβλέψω αυτόν τον αγώνα, αλλά εγγυώμαι ότι πρόκειται να ενώσω τους τίτλους στο 147 λίρες σύντομα.”
SAMUEL VARGAS
“Είμαι πολύ ευλογημένος που βρίσκομαι εδώ σήμερα. Αυτός ο αγώνας θα μπορούσε να αλλάξει ολόκληρη τη ζωή μου. Οι ζωές της οικογένειάς μου. Ο Ντάνι είναι ένας μεγάλος μαχητής και πρέπει να τα δώσω όλα.
“Πρέπει να το εκμεταλλευτώ. Έχω μαζί μου τον καλύτερο εκπαιδευτή στον κόσμο και θα φροντίσουμε για τις επιχειρήσεις Νοέμβριος 12.
“Εγώ και ο εκπαιδευτής μου δουλεύω σε πολλά διαφορετικά στυλ. Μας αρέσει να το αλλάζουμε και να κρατάμε τους αντιπάλους να μαντέψουν. Μερικές φορές πιέζουμε και μερικές φορές παραμένουμε έξω. Μαθαίνω κάθε μέρα και κάνω προσαρμογές.
“Είμαι αουτσάιντερ και ήμουν όλη μου η ζωή. Υπάρχουν πολύ λίγες επιλογές για έναν Λατίνο μετανάστη μέχρι τον Καναδά. Κέρδισα τις πιθανότητες να τα καταφέρω εκεί και να έχω μια ζωή και μια οικογένεια.
“Είμαι άντρας με λίγο παραπάνω 10 ερασιτέχνες αγώνες και το έχω φτάσει μέχρι τώρα. Η Ντάνι Γκαρσία είναι η ευκαιρία μου. Πρέπει να κάνω το καλύτερο από αυτό και να τα δώσω ό, τι καλύτερο. Αυτά είναι τα πάντα για μένα.”
ΒΟΡΕΙΟ ΤΖΑΡΡΕΤ
“Έχω πάει στη Φιλαδέλφεια μερικές φορές και η πόλη με υποδέχτηκε. Θέλω απλώς να κάνω μια άλλη παράσταση. Αυτό θα με κάνει ένα βήμα πιο κοντά στο όνειρό μου να παλέψω για έναν τίτλο.
“Έχουμε δει μερικές από τις μάχες του αντιπάλου μου και είναι βετεράνος. Έχει πολλή δύναμη και καλό ρυθμό νοκ-άουτ για να το ακολουθήσει. Είναι αμήχανος και ψηλός. Εάν δεν μπείτε στην κορυφή του παιχνιδιού σας, μπορεί να σε κάνει να φαίνεται κακό. Ψάχνουμε να κάνουμε αυτό που κάνουμε πάντα.
“Έμαθα πολλά από τον τελευταίο μου αγώνα. Άνοιξε πολλές πόρτες για μένα, σαν να παλεύεις στην κάρτα Danny Garcia. Νιώθω σαν να λείπει το τμήμα. Είμαι ψηλός, lanky μαχητής με πολλή δύναμη και καλή ταχύτητα χεριών.
“Ο χρόνος μου είναι εδώ. Νιώθω ότι αυτή είναι η ευκαιρία μου να έρθω πιο κοντά στον αγώνα για έναν παγκόσμιο τίτλο. Ανυπομονώ να γίνω παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής.
“Θέλω να αντιμετωπίσω όλους τους 154 λίβρες. Δεν πατάμε κανέναν. Υπάρχουν τόσα πολλά ταλαντούχα μαχητικά στο τμήμα, αλλά πιστεύω ότι εγώ και η ομάδα μου εκπαιδεύομαι τόσο σκληρά και προετοιμαζόμαστε τόσο καλά ώστε είμαστε έτοιμοι να αντιμετωπίσουμε οποιοδήποτε από αυτά. Θα έρθει η ώρα και περιμένουμε.
“Αυτή είναι μια τεράστια ευκαιρία να βρεθείτε στην κάρτα Danny Garcia επειδή όλοι προσπαθούμε να φτάσουμε εκεί που βρίσκεται. Βεβαιωθείτε ότι παρακολουθείτε τους αγώνες μου, επειδή υπόσχομαι ότι θα κάνω κάτι αξέχαστο.”
OMAR DOUGLAS
“Ήθελα απλώς να πω ότι αυτή είναι η ευκαιρία μιας ζωής να πολεμήσω στη Φιλαδέλφεια όπου ξεκίνησε η καριέρα μου. Κέρδισα Χρυσά Γάντια της Πενσυλβανίας αρκετές φορές.
“Το να είσαι μαζί με έναν πρώην παγκόσμιο πρωταθλητή είναι καταπληκτικό. Θα εκμεταλλευτώ πλήρως αυτήν την ευκαιρία. Το περίμενα πολύ καιρό και αυτός είναι ο χρόνος μου.
“Ο Φορτούνα είναι ένας πολύ σίγουρος μαχητής. Του αρέσει να του δίνει όλους τους πρώτους γύρους. Θα μπω μέσα και θα χρησιμοποιήσω το τρύπημά μου και θα επενδύσω στο σώμα. Νομίζω ότι μπορούμε να έχουμε νωρίς το βράδυ.
“Πιστεύω ότι έχω το καλύτερο τρύπημα στην επιχείρηση. Πρέπει να τον κρατήσω μακριά με το τρύπημα και το κεφάλι. Παλεύω για πολύ καιρό και δεν έχω δει τίποτα.
“Νομίζω ότι βελτιώθηκα πολύ. Η μάχη με παιδιά με μία απώλεια και παγκόσμια κατάταξη παιδιών κατά τις τελευταίες μάχες ζευγών με βοήθησε. Η εμπιστοσύνη μου αυξάνεται σίγουρα κάθε μέρα.
“Μπορείτε να περιμένετε μια ευχάριστη απόδοση και νοκ-άουτ σε πλήθος.”
ANGEL GARCIA, Ντάνι Πατέρα & Προπονητής
“Ο Ντάνι ήταν το αουτσάιντερ στο παρελθόν. Lucas Matthysse ή Amir Khan, ονόμασε το. Δεν υποτιμούμε το Βάργκας. Δεν τον παίρνουμε ελαφρά. Πρόκειται να έρθουμε έτοιμοι να βουτήξω.
“Το Vargas είναι το αουτσάιντερ σήμερα, αλλά ο Ντάνι ήταν το αουτσάιντερ σε όλη του τη ζωή.Νοέμβριος 12 ο γιος μου θα είναι ακόμα αήττητος.
“Ήρθα στη Φιλαδέλφεια σε ηλικία έξι ετών. Δεν είχα φαγητό. Μόνο ξέρετε ότι πονάτε. Έφαγα πολλά τρόφιμα από ένα κουτάκι που μεγαλώνει, οπότε αν δωρίσετε οτιδήποτε ή αγοράσετε ένα εισιτήριο που δωρίζει χρήματα, θα κάνεις κάτι υπέροχο. Προσευχόμαστε κάθε μέρα για τα πεινασμένα παιδιά, όχι μόνο στην Αμερική αλλά σε ολόκληρο τον κόσμο.”
BILLY BRISCOE, Βάργκας’ Προπονητής
“Αυτή είναι μια μεγάλη ευκαιρία για μένα και τον Σαμουήλ. Κατά τη γνώμη μου, είναι υποτιμημένος μαχητής. Βρίσκεται κάτω από το ραντάρ για λίγο. Δουλεύαμε μαζί στον Καναδά και ξεκινήσαμε ένα σύστημα αγροκτημάτων.
“Κατά τη γνώμη μου παλεύουμε το καλύτερο welterweight στον κόσμο. Αυτό δεν είναι εύκολο έργο και δεν ξεγελαζόμαστε. Δεν θα αφήσουμε καμία πέτρα.
“Θα βρούμε έναν τρόπο και θα κάνουμε έναν τρόπο. Αυτό θα κάνουμε και ανυπομονώ για αυτό.”
MARSHALL KAUFFMAN, Προωθήσεις του βασιλιά
“Είναι πολύ συναρπαστικό να προωθείτε αυτόν τον νεαρό άνδρα, Ντάνι Γκαρσία. Τον θυμάμαι ως μικρό παιδί και είναι συναρπαστικό να βλέπω πού έρχεται στον κόσμο της πυγμαχίας. Γνωρίζω πολλά από αυτά τα παιδιά εδώ και πολύ καιρό και είμαι ενθουσιασμένος που βλέπω την απόδοσή τους.
“Αυτή η κάρτα θα στοιβάζεται με τοπικό ταλέντο και ελπίζω ότι όλοι θα βγουν και θα υποστηρίξουν αυτούς τους μαχητές και αυτή τη μεγάλη αιτία.
“Πάντα ήθελα να φέρω τον Ντάνι Γκαρσία στη Φιλαδέλφεια και η επιτροπή είναι ενθουσιασμένη για να τον φέρει πίσω σε αυτήν την υπέροχη πόλη και θα την κάνουμε αξίζει.”

I’m excited to use this opportunity to give back to the community and put on a show on November 12. This city means everything to me. I hope everyone comes out, but shows up with cans of food too.

He took down the highly regarded Bryan Vasquez to earn a super featherweight world title in May of last year. Εκπροσωπώντας Λα Ρομάνα, Δομινικανή Δημοκρατία, Fortuna bounced back from a defeat to Jason Sosa to stop previously unbeaten Marlyn Cabrera in September.
An undefeated fighter out of Wilmington, Delaware, Douglas impressed in his last two outings when he defeated contender Frank De Alba in a step up fight last December and followed it up with a seventh-round knockout of Alexei Collado in June.

BROOKLYN (Ιούνιος 26, 2016) – Prizefighting returned to CBS Σάββατο with a Fight of the Year candidate as undefeated welterweight world champion Keith Θέρμαν edged former world champion Shawn Porter in a close but unanimous decision scored 115-113 by all three ringside judges.

 

Ο 12,718 fans in attendance at Barclays Center in Brooklyn and the viewers across the U.S. watching the first primetime boxing event on CBS since Muhammed Ali-Leon Spinks in 1978 were treated to a slugfest between two of the brightest stars in boxing’s glamour division.

 

Θέρμαν (27-0, 22 KOs) and Porter (26-2-1, 16 KOs) combined to throw over 1200 punches in the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on CBS event, presented by Premier Boxing Champions. The marquee showdown was a story of accuracy vs. activity, as Thurman landed 50 τοις εκατό των πυροβολισμών δύναμης του, σε σύγκριση με 38 percent for Porter, και 44 percent of his total punches compared to just 36 percent for the challenger. While Thurman landed at a higher percentage, Porter was the busier fighter, throwing over 100 more punches across 12 γύρους.

 

“One Time” and “Showtime” delivered as advertised, with the powerful sharpshooter buckling Porter multiple times, while the swarming and smothering Porter barreled forward to bully Thurman into the ropes. And while there were no knockdowns, the back-and-forth blockbuster never lacked action and culminated in a standing ovation in the second-highest attended boxing event in Barclays Center history.

 

I want to thank Shawn Porter for a tremendous fight. He’s a great warrior,” said Thurman. “Defense is the key to victory. He smothers his punches a lot and makes it difficult for the judges to score. I was able to rock him with clear, effective blows and I believe that was the difference today.

 

“I would give him a rematch. It was great fight. He was a great opponent. Everyone was saying would he be my toughest opponent to date. I wasn’t able to drop him but I did buckle him a few times.”

The former world champion Porter, a perennial underdog but consummate gentleman, didn’t complain about being on the losing end of his second close decision in a title bout.

 

“We worked hard, Keith is a great champion,” Porter said. “My dad says to keep your head up. Νομίζω ότι κέρδισε τον αγώνα, but I’m satisfied because the competitor came out απόψε.

 

We need that rematch. I know the fans want that rematch. If he gives me another chance, I’m going to work hard in the ring and leave with his title.

 

The opening bout of the CBS telecast featured a matchup of undefeated super welterweights as Jarrett Hurd graduated from prospect to legitimate contender in the stacked 154-pound class with a dominating 10ου round TKO over Oscar Molina.

 

Hurd (18-0, 12 KOs) got to work early, flooring Molina for the first time in his career in the opening round with a powerful counter right uppercut. The bigger and taller Hurd was the more active fighter from the outset, dismantling the previously unbeaten Mexican Olympian with a supremely effective inside game. Hurd threw nearly 750 punches over 10 γύρους, σε σύγκριση με μόλις 376 for Molina, σύνδεση για 220 power shots at a nearly 40 percent clip.

 

Hurd put a stamp on his performance in the final round, closing the show by out landing Molina 33-7 in the final round. With Molina taking a brutal beating and seemingly defenseless in the final minute of the final round, Ricky Gonzalez stepped in to halt the contest at 2:02.

 

This is definitely a big win for my career,” Hurd said. “He was taking a lot of shots, but he knew how to survive. It was a big uppercut that knocked him down in round one. People know from my last fight that I have a great right uppercut. He was hurt a couple of times. I don’t think it was a bad stoppage. Molina is a very tough guy who just kept coming through.

 

This fight here puts me up with the top contenders in the division. I felt like I could have gone three or four more rounds. I was getting stronger as the fight went on. We’re going right back to the gym so we can get in there again.

 

Molina (13-1-1, 10 KOs) protested, but barring a stunning knockout he was just seconds away from suffering the first loss of his career via a unanimous decision.

 

I felt like Hurd was throwing a lot of punches in the tenth round but they weren’t really hurting me,” Molina said. “He was staying busy but he was never really hurting me.

 

“I went low and I had my head down and he caught me with that uppercut in the first round. He got me with a shot I wasn’t expecting but it was definitely a flash knockdown. I wasn’t hurt.

 

I was supposed to use my footwork a lot more but I ended up smothering my shots. He had an awkward defense with a lot of bending down and I couldn’t get into a rhythm.

 

This was a big opportunity for me and I felt like I fought a good fight. I’m going to come back stronger. We’re going to work on a lot of things and get back in there.

 

SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on CBS, presented by Premier Boxing Champions, was promoted by DiBella Entertainment.

 

Earlier in the evening on SHOWTIME, undefeated heavyweight sensation Anthony Joshua successfully defended his IBF Heavyweight World Championship for the first time with a seventh round knockout of previously unbeaten American Dominic Breazeale at The O2 in London. ΒΙΝΤΕΟ: http://s.sho.com/28VGgsa

 

Below are quotes from Joshua after Σάββατο win on SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL:

 

Many thought that Dominic Breazeale wouldn’t be able to stand up to your power and speed, but were you grateful for the opportunity to work a little bit more of your boxing skills?

“Well, it’s hard because you can see they’re hurt with every shotwell not every shotbut when you start catching them flush, they can feel the shots with these ten ounce gloves on. Έτσι, it’s just a matter of time, but in the process I didn’t want to be receiving any haymakers on the way back.

 

“It’s been tough I had two weeks off after my last fight, and got straight back in the gym so it was tough. I get a nice little break for once and then I can come back with recharged batteries.

 

We know Deontay Wilder was watching the fight. Have you got a message for him, the WBC Champion?

Unbelievable inspirational person. He was patient, 30-odd fights [και] got his hands on the WBC [ζώνη]. I’m following suit. I’m making my way into the U.S. with SHOWTIME backing me as well. Έτσι, he watched that.

 

He can pick up whatever he wants to pick up from that, but it’s so different when you’re in the ring with each other. So one day we’ll get to experience what each other’s about.

 

Who do you want to fight next?

Well I think it’s gonna have to be the likes of [Ιωσήφ] Parker. I was really looking at Fury… I hope he gets better soon. He hurt his ankle unfortunately, which has postponed it because I was hoping to get that some time in the winter if everything went well July 9th like it didαπόψε, but we’re gonna have to reschedule that and in the meantime, we can look at other opponents like Parker, if he’s vacant, or anyone else that the people want.

 

What do you think that you still need to work on?

“Rest. I need to rest. I’m tired, I’m working hard and as I said, now i can get

The press conference took place at the Dream Hotel PHD Rooftop in downtown Manhattan. Εδώ είναι αυτό που οι συμμετέχοντες είχαν να πουν Πέμπτη:
KEITH THURMAN
It’s an honor to be on this platform. I’m excited to be back at Barclays Center. My last fight at Barclays Center was the first time I felt the fans give me love and I felt like I made it.
I’m excited to feel the energy in the arena. We’re recovered and we’re ready. We did what we needed to so that we’re ready forΣάββατο νύχτα.
As I think about this fight, these are dreams coming true for me. Sometimes I feel like I’m living a dream. I think about how I was raised by Ben Getty to this moment. Ben used to say that my moment was ‘right around the corner,’ and now it’s here. He was a wise man and he knew what he was talking about.
This is a great fight. This is what the boxing fans want to see. I truly believe you are looking at two of the best welterweights in the world.
I’m here as an entertainer. I’m here for the love of the sport. The fans want to see these kinds of fights. It’s obvious in the welterweight division that we are the two most exciting and devastating fighters in the division.
Everybody kept talking about the sparring video, so I just decided to put it out. Sparring is sparring and fighting is fighting. This fight will be judged and this time I’ll have eight-ounce gloves on.
It’s always been my dream to be the undisputed champion of the world.
I’m looking forward to a great performance. I’m excited to a great challenge from Shawn Porter. There is a burning desire within myself to have a knockout victory. It’s hard to make world-class fighters quit. The fans ultimately want to see that knockout victory.
There are real stakes are on the line αυτό το Σάββατο νύχτα. Our careers are on the line. My title is on the line. My undefeated record is on the line. It’s a great fight and a great matchup.
I do believe that with each and every fight, you step up, you step up and you step up. Έτσι, thus the stakes are always higher and there are those times where you get a decent fight. Αλλά όπως είπα, this is a great fight at a great moment of both athletescareers. We are both in our prime. I’m 27-years-old, Shawn is 28-years-old, we’ve both accomplished many great things and a victory Σάββατο night is just going to be another thing to add to the resume.
This really is the best fight of the best. We’re trying to satisfy the fans and we’re trying to challenge ourselves, push ourselves, and see where we fit in and how great we really are. I’m going to show you Σάββατο night how great Keith “Ένας Χρόνος” Thurman really is.
Just like Ali said, Σάββατο νύχτα, I’m going to show you how great I am.
Shawn Porter
“Είναι ΕΔΩ. It’s been long anticipated and it’s here. I have never been more excited to fight in my life. It’s a blessing. Along this journey I’ve been able to learn the basics and excel in the basics and I found myself in a position where I’ve been able to be very successful.
My hometown Cleveland Cavaliers winning the NBA title is definitely a motivation. It motivates me to be a winner. I want to bring this belt back to Ohio.
I’m looking forward to this kind of moment to shine. That’s how you gain notoriety and become bigger. Δεν υπάρχει πίεση, just excitement.
I’m just looking forward to getting in there and getting that energetic feeling. I want to feel the excitement of getting into the ring and all the adrenaline that rushes through.
This is the fight I wanted. I wanted to have fun training for a fight like this. Keith has made it possible. He’s so good it pushes me to be better.
This isn’t the first time and it won’t be the last time that two friends fight. I’m done talking about us being friends because it’s time for us to start punching each other. My plan is to have great defense, avoid getting hit and win the fight.
I didn’t take much time off after the postponement. We tried to train and stay ready through the cancellation. You never know when the phone is going to ring. We just wanted to stay in shape, get better and be ready for anything.
I feel like if Floyd Mayweather comes back, he should fight the winner of this matchup. I believe that will be me.
I’m not going to go in there looking for a knockout and throw my hands wildly. I’m going to keep up the pace that I normally keep up. I’m a great boxer. People consider me a boxer, but I may surprise you.
ΒΟΡΕΙΟ ΤΖΑΡΡΕΤ
I’m thankful for this opportunity. This is a great shot for me right now. In my last fight I had an opportunity similar to this. I was a fill-in for television and I did what I was supposed to do.
Success is accomplished when preparation meets opportunity. I know things like this can happen. It doesn’t change anything. We’re going to go out and do what we trained for.
You always get butterflies before getting in the ring but that’s normal. Molina is very experienced and has good hand speed but I know what I can do. We’re ready for this.
I’m happy to be on this stage. This could be the biggest fight of the year and I’m extremely blessed to open it up.
I’m going to go out there and put on another terrific performance. Molina, he’s an Olympian and he has a lot of experience. He’s a crafty fighter and we’re going to do what we have to do to get the victory.
We’re ready to do what we’re going to do. Είναι πρόκειται να είναι μια μεγάλη μάχη Σάββατο το βράδυ.”
OSCAR MOLINA
I’m ready for this. I’m more than ready for this. These type of fights are what gets me up to train.
This guy I’m fighting is young, undefeated and a prospect like myself. I know he’s going to be ready and it’s going to be a tough fight but I’m ready for him.
This is a huge deal for me. I was already excited to be on this huge undercard. When they told me that I was moving up to CBS I knew how big of an opportunity it is for me and my career.
Hurd is a tall and lanky fighter. I saw his last fight and I see that he does well with guys who are flat footed. My boxing skills and my footwork are something he’s never seen before. Frank Galarza was tailor-made for Hurd and I think I’m going to be able to give him different looks.
I’m a boxer-puncher and I can adapt to different styles. I also have power for big knockouts but my boxing skills are most important.
Fighting in the Olympics taught me to adapt to different styles. I have a fan-friendly style and I’m excited to put on a show.
DAN BIRMINGHAM, Thurman’s Trainer
We’re ready for this fight. Keith trains hard every day and we know Shawn and Kenny well. I’ve brought them to my gym and these two guys have gone a lot of rounds together.
I think Keith Thurman is the most gifted guy in boxing. He does everything right. Σάββατο night we’re looking for a great fight and I know in my heart that we will be victorious.
KEN PORTER, Ο πατέρας του Porter & Προπονητής
“Είναι υπέροχο να βρίσκομαι εδώ. It’s great to be on this stage with Shawn. This isn’t something we just started getting ready for, this is something he’s been getting ready for since birth. I always had a mindset to put Shawn in a position to excel in life. He has not disappointed.
I know these guys are going to give it everything they have. It will be 100 percent for as long as it lasts. We’re prepared to take the championship. These are great guys here to the right, αλλά Σάββατο we’re bringing everything to the table.
We’re coming to deliver a great show. Enjoy yourselves Σάββατο το βράδυ.”
Lou DiBella, Πρόεδρος του DiBella ψυχαγωγία
This is what it’s all about. Αυτό το Σάββατο νύχτα, the best is fighting the best. It’s right here in Brooklyn on CBS. It’s the first fight on CBS in primetime since Muhammad Ali fought over 30 χρόνια πριν.
This is a terrific card from top to bottom. There is a tremendous undercard, a great co-feature and a main event that boxing fans have been waiting for a long time.
This is an undercard chock full of talent. You will want to get there early as there are evenly matched bouts all night.
SHOWTIME has highlighted the 154-pound division in recent shows, so it makes sense that there will be another significant matchup in that division on CBS Σάββατο night with Jarrett Hurd and Oscar Molina.
We’re not going to talk about friendship and respect anymore with these two guys, that’s in the past and the future. These guys know their future is dependent on beating up the other guy and a fight of this magnitude makes the stakes even higher.
The best want to fight the best and it starts Σάββατο νύχτα. The winner of this fight wants to be the best in the world. Both men want to be an undisputed welterweight champion.
STEPHEN Εσπινόζα, Εκτελεστικός Αντιπρόεδρος & Γενικός Διευθυντής, Αθλητισμός SHOWTIME
Ιούνιος 25 is a very special day and night for us at CBS. It begins with the heavyweight world title being contested between Anthony Joshua and Dominic Breazeale and then the return of boxing to primetime CBS for the first time in almost 40 χρόνια.
This was an easy fight to make. Shawn and Keith, neither one hesitated for a second in taking this fight. All credit goes to them for taking this fight. It’s a difficult fight for both on a big stage.
Boxing takes criticism for not making the right fights at the right time. One of the bad habits we have is that we spend time thinking about fights that might get made. But now we have the right fight, at the right time and at the right venue. It’s a disservice to not recognize that what is going Σάββατο is very special and very exciting.
ΜΠΡΕΤ YORMARK, Διευθύνων Σύμβουλος της Brooklyn Sports & Ψυχαγωγία
It’s an exciting week at Barclays Center. Απόψε we host the NBA Draft, the weigh-in αύριο and our big event Σάββατονύχτα. The momentum is building for this fight and we are on pace for the biggest crowd for a boxing event since we opened.
We are excited about bringing a great night of fights to Brooklyn. We welcome Keith Thurman and Shawn Porter back to Brooklyn as they have both fought there once before.
It’s become tradition to have both of you fight in our ring and we know how popular you are with our fans and we love to have you back.
This will be the first primetime fight on CBS since the first Muhammad Ali-Leon Spinks fight in 1978 and it’s a big moment for the boxing community for sure. We look forward to hosting everyone Σάββατο το βράδυ.”

TOP WELTERWEIGHTS: THURMAN-PORTER WINNER TOO CLOSE TO CALL

Αυτό Σάββατο, Ιούνιος 25, Live in Primetime at 9 μ.μ. ΚΑΙ/6 μ.μ. PT στη CBS
Κάντε κλικ ΕΔΩ For PBC Fighter Prediction Video
ΝΕΑ ΥΟΡΚΗ (Ιούνιος 22, 2016) – Their peers in the welterweight division – πρωταθλητές κόσμου, former champions, contenders and top prospectscan’t pick a definitive winner between defending WBA 147-pound king Keith “Ένας Χρόνος” Θέρμαν (26-0, 22 KOs) και ο πρώην παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής “Showtime” Shawn Porter (26-1-1, 16 KOs).
The majority of the fighters polledsome of whom are potential opponents down the line for the winnerlean toward Thurman, but most all concede that Σάββατο eagerly awaited main event of a SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® on CBS event, presented by Premier Boxing Champions (9 μ.μ. ΚΑΙ/6 μ.μ. PT) at Barclays Center is going to be an intense, συναρπαστικός, tight fight from start to finish that could go either way.
Here’s how the boxers see Thurman vs. Φθορά”:
Ντάνι Γκαρσία (WBC Welterweight Champion): “I think this is a great matchup. Thurman has the boxing ability and the movement while Shawn Porter is the aggressor and he’s going to bring the heat. To be honest with you it’s a 50-50 πάλη, but I would give the edge to Keith Thurman by a very close decision.
Kell Brook (IBF Welterweight Champion):”This is a great fight, one I can’t wait to watch. If Shawn can stick to his boxing I think he can become world champion again on points, but Keith is heavy-handed and he could walk Shawn onto oneit’s really a pick ’em fight for me.
Errol Spence Jr. (Αήττητη Welterweight υποψήφιο): “I think this is a great fight between young fighters with good skill. Shawn throws a lot of punches while Thurman is a boxer who can punch too. I know Shawn will be aggressive and it should make for a great fight. If Keith can box and keep Shawn Porter on the outside I see Keith Thurman winning. If Shawn stays on the inside and stays in the chest of Keith, I see him winning.
Άλλα Berto (Former Welterweight Champion): “Shawn is going to come, but I think Keith will be on his toes and box but also drop hard shots as well when Shawn comes in. Keith can be very versatile in there and has a lot of great skills, while Shawn is more like a bull. Keith will hurt or knock Shawn down but will keep coming all night.
Sammy Vazquez (Αήττητη Welterweight υποψήφιο): “Shawn is a pressure fighter and Thurman used to be a pressure fighter but now he boxes. It’s really hard for me to decide who is going to come out on top. Thurman has good power. It all depends on how Shawn is able to take Thurman’s punches. I think Thurman because of the power but Shawn will bring it for 12 γύρους.”
Robert Guerrero (Former Welterweight Champion): This is a fight the fans are going to love watching. Both Thurman and Porter bring exciting styles to the ring. I think if Porter can keep the fight on the inside he’ll have a better chance to come out victorious. But Keith Thurman is a very smart and powerful fighter and will make the right adjustments. I just think Thurman is going to outbox Porter. I’m picking Thurman to win by decision in a very tough fight.
Luis Collazo (Former Welterweight Champion): “I’m not sure who the favorite is, but I’m going with Porter. I like his style and I think it’s going to be interesting to see how Thurman holds up with the pressure Porter is going to bring.
Ντέβον Αλέξανδρος (Former Welterweight Champion): “Είναι ένα πολύ συναρπαστικό αγώνα. Both fighters are come forward type fighters and they swing for the fences when they throw. I don’t know who will come out on top because they have similar styles. Shawn Porter has decent power, but out of the two Keith has the more power. We’ll see. This is boxing.

A popular Brooklyn fighter who competed in Barclays Center’s first-ever professional female boxing match, Hardy έχει γίνει μια βάση στο γήπεδο αφού. Επί Ιούνιος 25, she will be making her seventh appearance at Barclays Center. Λίγο πάνω από δύο χρόνια μετά το ντεμπούτο υπέρ της, Hardy κέρδισε διεθνή ζώνη τίτλου στην κατηγορία σούπερ bantamweight τον Οκτώβριο 2014. Σε 2015, she defeated Noemi Bosques and Renata Domsodi twice. In her lone 2016 πάλη, she stopped Anna Donatella Hultin in the fourth round. She will be opposed by Aurora, Colorado’s Simmons who has won nine fights in a row after losing her pro debut.
A two-time New York Golden Gloves champion, Kownacki had a big 2015, notching four victories including knockouts of Maurenzo Smith and Randy Easton.

I’m excited for this fight and I’m grateful that it’s even bigger now that it’s on CBS,” Είπε Μολίνα. “I’ve seen Hurd fight. I know what he does well and what his weaknesses are and I’ll be looking to capitalize on them. It’s important for me to defeat the top guys and this is someone I have to beat to become a world champion one day. I’m excited about fighting in Brooklyn on the big stage, but my focus will be on my trainer’s game plan and coming out victorious.

Sugar Ray Leonard & Τόμας Χερνς, Two Hall of Fame Welterweight Champions, Weigh-In on the Keith Thurman-Shawn Porter 147-Pound Championship Battle at Barclays Center on Saturday, Ιούνιος 25 Live on CBS

The winner of Thurman-Porter will immediately move into the
welterweight penthouse.Leonard
I know that Porter and Thurman both have the ability to get each other out of there. It’s going to be a matter of who gets to who first.Hearns
ΝΕΑ ΥΟΡΚΗ (JUNE 20, 2016) – Sugar Ray Leonard και Θωμάς “Hitman” Hearns might be uniquely qualified to talk about what WBA welterweight champion Keith “Ένας Χρόνος” Θέρμαν και “Showtime” Shawn Porter are thinking and feeling heading into their battle that pits two men against each other who are in their primes in a highly charged battle for supremacy in the talent-laden welterweight division.
The highly anticipated showdown headlines SHOWTIME ΠΡΩΤΑΘΛΗΜΑ ΠΥΓΜΑΧΙΑΣ® επί CBS presented by Premier Πυγμαχία Τσάμπιονς (PBC) με τηλεοπτική κάλυψη ξεκινώντας από 9 μ.μ. ΚΑΙ/6 μ.μ. PT.
Leonard had a record of 30-1 με 21 KOs and held the WBC welterweight title when he took on Hearns, ο οποίος ήταν 32-0 με 30 KOs and held the WBA title, in a 15-round title unification match in Las Vegas on September 16, 1981. The match was billed asThe Showdownand had a worldwide television audience of 300 εκατομμύριο.
The fight was a pitched back-and-forth battle, but Hearns appeared to be in control having won rounds nine through 12 για τους τρεις δικαστές’ scorecards. It was between rounds 12 και 13 that Leonard’s trainer, the late Angelo Dundee, famously screamed at Leonard: “You’re blowing it now, son! You’re blowing it!”
Leonard, with his left eye badly swollen, turned the tide in the 14ου round by staggering Hearns with an overhand right and then pinning Hearns on the ropes and unleashing a barrage of punches, which prompted referee Davey Pearl to stop the fight, giving Leonard the victory and making him the undisputed welterweight champion and king of the division. At the time of the stoppage Hearns was leading on all three scorecards – 124-122, 125-122 και 125-121.
It was the toughest fight of my life. It took every ounce of will and strength to beat Tommy Hearns. I couldn’t have taken that many of those in my career,” Leonard said. “The Tommy Hearns fight was the one that propelled me to the penthouse.
Leonard felt like the victory over Hearns launched him into superstardom. He believes the same thing awaits the winner of Thurman-Porter.
Hearns on the fight: “I wanted to show my world my boxing ability. They knew I could knock people out, but they didn’t know that I could box very well.
Both Leonard and Hearns said they are anxiously awaiting the match between Thurman and Porter because they believe it will hold just as much drama as their match 35 χρόνια πριν.
“Ναι, you can make the comparison,” Leonard said. “Both guys are at the top of the welterweight division. The only thing that’s different is that me and Tommy were so well known by sports fans. We were on TV a lot, and that’s what built our names and gave people the chance to see us so much. And that’s what they’re doing now with the PBC and the shows being on network TV. This could be a fight like ours. Ποιος ξερει? But I do know that the fans are waiting on this fight.
HOW DO YOU PREPARE TO FACE THE BEST MAN IN YOUR DIVISION?
HEARNS: “It’s always hard to get prepared for someone like that because you think about what the outcome is going to be and what are your chances of winning the fight. I never thought about losing, but I thought about what my chances were.
I knew if I went out and boxed the way I knew I could box, I would beat Ray. Just the thought of fighting Ray brought a lot of questions to my mind. Some I had answers to and some I didn’t have. Most other guys I knew I could go out there and knock them out.
WHAT EXCITES YOU ABOUT THIS MATCHUP?
LEONARD:Just the heart of Keith and Shawn. Both of these guys have heart and both have that will. That composure. You can’t teach composure. It’s something that you either have or you don’t. You can’t learn that. That deep, deep composure when your left eye is closed and your liver is busted and you got to get up on the canvas.
HEARNS:I know Thurman and Porter have the ability to get each other out of there. It’s going to be a matter of who gets to who first. I’m definitely watching. I hope to be there in person.
HOW IMPORTANT IS THE MENTAL ASPECT OF THIS MATCH?
HEARNS: I know what it’s like to go against somebody that people don’t think you can beat. You have to prepare for that. It’s a mental stage that you go through, how you prepare your mind. If you can control your mind and tell your body what you’re going to do, then you can do it. You can’t worry about how good the other guy can punch. Just stay out of the way. Keep on laying that stick on him and he won’t be able to punch you.
WHAT WAS YOUR MENTALITY GOING INTO THE MATCH AGAINST LEONARD?
HEARNS:I didn’t come to go 12 ή 15 γύρους. I came to whip your butt and go home. I had no desire to go 15 γύρους. I trained for it, but I was never going 15 γύρους.”
WHAT WAS YOUR MENTALITY GOING INTO THE MATCH AGAINST HEARNS?
LEONARD:I felt that I could beat anyone. My brother Roger didn’t think I could beat Tommy. He didn’t tell me that until it was over. In training camp I used to box Roger and he would land a lot of right hands. He figured if Tommy’s right hand landed on me it would be over. My brother didn’t have much confidence in me.
