FRISCO, TEXAS (Juni 16, 2018) – Errol Spence Jr. defended his IBF Welterweight World Championship with a first-round knockout of previously undefeated mandatory challenger Carlos Ocampo in a homecoming fight Saturday on SHOWTIME at Ford Center at The Star. VIDEO: https://s.sho.com/2HTG4Zv

 

 

 

A sellout crowd of more than 12,600 fans packed Ford Center at The Star in Frisco to witness Spence’s first homecoming defense as champion and his first fight in Dallas since 2015. The consensus top-5 pound-for-pound fighter did not disappoint, pounding the body from the opening bell with his trademark body attack and superb ring generalship.

 

 

 

Spence, who was making his second defense as a 147-pound champion, floored Ocampo with a brutal 1-2 body shot combo, the second punch landing flush on the challenger’s side and instantly flooring him as the opening round concluded. Ocampo (22-1, 13 KOs) crippled over in pain while on the canvas, was unable to beat the count and remained on the floor for more than two minutes while Spence celebrated his victory.

 

 

 

“I was a little disappointed. I wanted to give the crowd their money’s worth,” Spence said. “I wanted him to sustain a bit and give him some punishment, but the body shot got him and I dropped him.”

 

 

 

It was the ninth time Spence (24-0, 21 KOs) has floored an opponent with a body shot in his 24 profesjonelle kamper.

 

 

 

“I knew if I hit him again he would probably drop,” Spence said. “That was my game plan. I’m the body snatcher. If he reacts weirdly, I just keep going to the body and I keep breaking him down.”

 

 

 

Etter kampen, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones joined Spence in the ring to congratulate him on the victory.

 

 

 

“This moment is a dream,” Spence said. “I wanted to play for the Dallas Cowboys and now I’m fighting in front of the Dallas Cowboys and Jerry Jones. Thank you to the whole Dallas Cowboys organization.

 

 

 

“We’ll definitely be back after I unify some titles. We’ll make this an annual thing where I fight here.”

 

 

 

Jones was thrilled with what was the first boxing event inside the Ford Center at The Star, the centerpiece of the 91-acre campus of the Dallas Cowboys World Headquarters and practice facility.

 

 

 

“This room was full of Dallas Cowboys football players supporting you,” Jones said. “They share your passion. I saw a guy in this ring who knew what he wanted. When you knock a guy out by hitting him once on the side of his back, you’re bad to the bone.

 

 

 

“I love his awareness. He had a plan from the beginning. He is exceptionally gifted. He has family that is behind him and our family, the Cowboys, want to be behind him as well.”

 

 

 

Etter kampen, SHOWTIME Sports reporter Jim Gray, who was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame last Sunday, asked Spence what he would like to do next.

 

 

 

“I want to fight the best,” Spence promised. “Danny Garcia and Shawn Porter are fighting each other (for the WBC title) and I definitely want to make that a unifying fight. We both have the same management, we both fight on SHOWTIME. Why not make that happen? I definitely want that fight whenever it’s available.”

 

 

 

I den TV co-feature, Danny Roman defended his WBA Super Bantamweight World Championship with a unanimous decision over previously undefeated Moises Flores in a 12-round fight that was scored 116-112, 118-110, 120-108.

 

 

 

The champion Roman (24-2-1, 9 KOs) was the faster and sharper fighter from the opening bell. Roman, who was making the second defense of his 122-pound belt, pounded the body repeatedly over 12 runder, connecting on a staggering 50 percent of his body shots. Blomster (25-1, 17 KOs), who failed to make weight for the title fight and was unable to win the belt, tired in the latter half of the fight and was largely a stationary target for Roman for 12 runder.

 

 

 

Both fighters threw more than 1,000 punches, yet it was Roman who was the more effective boxer, connecting on an impressive 42 prosent av hans makt skudd.

 

 

 

“I was trying to box him. We tried to do a smart fight,” Roman said. “We tried to take him out, but unfortunately we couldn’t.

 

 

 

“I would like to unify. I would like to challenge any of the champions. I’d love to face Rey Vargas or Isaac Dogboe. I don’t mind going back to Japan either.”

 

 

 

“I know I messed up in training,” Flores said. “I didn’t make the weight, but I still wanted to perform and give it everything I have.

 

 

 

“We both hit each other a lot. jeg slår (Roman) with some good shots, I just couldn’t finish him. I was probably around 60 percent energy-wise. From the fifth round on I had to just fight with pure heart.

 

 

 

"(Roman) put on a great show for the fans, and that’s what makes me feel great. That’s all I wanted was to put on a good fight.”

 

 

 

I åpnings bout av SHOWTIME Championship Boxing telecast, Javier Fortuna suffered an injury while falling through the ropes due to an accidental push in the fourth round and his 140-pound matchup with Adrian Granados was ruled a No Decision.

 

 

 

Granados (18-6-2, 11 KOs) and Fortuna (33-2-1, 23 KOs) both came out swinging from the opening bell. In a wild fourth round, Fortuna was deducted two points, first for punching to the back of the head, and second for holding. After the second point deduction, the former 130-pound champion Fortuna aggressively moved forward and unloaded a series of shots.

 

 

 

Øyeblikk senere, Granados and Fortuna were clinching along the ropes near Granados’ corner when Fortuna fell backward through the ropes, whipping his neck as he fell back. Complaining of pain and lack of movement, Fortuna was stabilized with a neck brace and removed from the ring on a stretcher in what was later described as a precautionary measure.

 

 

 

På tidspunktet for stans, Grandos was leading on all three of the judges’ scorecards.

 

 

 

“I didn’t push him. I think he fell with his own,” Granados said. “I think he was looking for an excuse on his way out. We were both battling, but I knew he could feel I was getting stronger. He caught me with a shot and it just turned me up.

 

 

 

“First and foremost I just want to pray that he’s OK. Let’s do the rematch. I’ve been dying for a fight at 140.”

 

 

 

Saturday’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast will re-air on Monday at 10 pm. ET/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available via SHOWTIME ON DEMAND and SHOWTIME ANYTIME.

Premier Boxing Champions

FRISCO, TEXAS (Juni 4, 2018) – Super bantamweight world champion Daniel Roman will defend his belt against unbeaten Moises “Chucky” Blomster Lørdag, Juni 16 live on SHOWTIME from Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

 

 

 

The event will also see former world champion Javier Fortuna clashing with Adrian Granados in a 10-round 140-pound special attraction that kicks off the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® sendingen på 9 pm. ET / 6 pm. PT.

 

 

 

Undefeated welterweight champion Errol “The Truth” Spence, Jr. will defend his IBF world title in a Dallas-area homecoming at the Dallas Cowboys facility against unbeaten mandatory challenger Carlos Ocampo in the main event. It will be the first boxing event inside Ford Center and Spence’s first hometown fight as world champion.

 

 

 

Billetter til dette arrangementet, which is promoted by TGB Promotions in association with Man Down Promotions, are on sale now and can be purchased at www.SeatGeek.com.

 

 

 

“This is shaping up to be a fantastic card with the addition of the 122-pound championship fight between Daniel Roman and Moises Flores and former champion Javier Fortuna taking on Adrian Granados in a 140-pound special attraction,” sa Tom Brown, President av TGB Kampanjer. “None of these boxers have reverse in their gear box, which promises entertaining battles for the fans at The Star and those watching at home on SHOWTIME.”

 

 

 

The 27-year-old Roman (24-2-1, 9 KOs) will be making his second title defense of the WBA 122-pound championship he won with a TKO victory over Shun Kubo last September in Japan. The 28-year-old, av Los Angeles, Calif., returned to Japan and made his first title defense with a unanimous decision victory over Ryo Matsumoto this February. Roman enters this bout having won 16-straight fights.

 

 

 

“Everyone knows I want to fight the best and Flores is right up there,” said Roman. “He’s unbeaten for a reason and he’s the number one challenger for my title. Jeg er ikke å ta ham lett. I’m motivated to be great. I’m more focused now than ever before. I’m not going to let Flores, or anyone else take my belt. The plan is simple. Pick him apart round by round just like I’ve done in my other world title fights.”

 

 

 

Blomster (25-0, 17 KOs), av Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, returns to the ring after a no contest against Guillermo Rigondeaux in a fight that saw Flores hit and knocked out with a shot that was initially called legal, but was eventually ruled to have come after the bell, thus causing the no contest. The 31-year-old scored an impressive win with a decision victory over Oscar Escandon in 2015 that earned him an interim 122-pound title and followed that up with victories over previously once-beaten fighters Luis Emanuel Cusolito and Paulus Ambunda.

 

 

 

“I’m going to make Daniel Roman fight me every round until the end,” said Flores. “He’s a good boxer and a counter puncher, but I’m a warrior so I’ll be ready for anything he brings. If he can’t hold up to my power, then he’s going down early. This is a must-win and I’m determined to become a world champion on June 16.”

 

 

 

Fortune (33-2-1, 23 KOs) won the super featherweight title with a unanimous decision against Bryan Vasquez in 2015 and enters this fight looking to bounce back from a split-decision loss to lightweight champion Robert Easter, Jr. in January on SHOWTIME. The 28-year-old Fortuna, La Romana, Den dominikanske republikk, failed to make weight for the Easter fight and will now seek to challenge in the 140-pound division.

 

 

 

“I know that Adrian Granados is a warrior, but this fight breaks in my favor because I am simply the better fighter,” sa Fortuna. “I respect Granados’ style and I know he surprises a lot of people with his resiliency in the ring. I’m fully prepared to out-box him on fight night. I’m not concerned about moving up in weight either because once we step into the ring, I’ll be the bigger guy.”

 

 

 

The 28-year-old Granados (18-6-2, 12 KOs) has garnered a reputation as a boxer willing to accept all challenges and one who always pushed his opponents to the brink. Fighting out of Chicago, he looks to get back on the winning track with a victory over Fortuna. Last year Granados lost a unanimous decision to former welterweight champion Shawn Porter and a split-decision to four-division champion Adrien Broner. Before those two losses, Granados had put together a five-match win streak that included a TKO victory over Amir Imam.

 

 

 

“Javier Fortuna is a crafty southpaw, but I’m going to be stronger and better than ever back at 140-pounds,” said Granados. “I feel like I can knock out anybody at this weight. After I beat Amir Imam, everyone has been ducking me at this weight class. I’m going to make a statement about where I belong in boxing and give the fans a great show like I always do.”

BROOKLYN (Jan. 21, 2018) - Undefeated weltervekt verdensmester Errol Spence Jr. beholdt sin IBF tittelen med et imponerende stans av førstnevnte to-deling mester Lamont Peterson i hovedturneringen av SHOWTIME Championship BoxingLørdag natt fra Barclays Center, hjemmet til BROOKLYN BOKSING®.

 

 

 

I sitt første forsvar siden dethroning Kell Brook på Showtime i mai i fjor, Spence (23-0, 20 KOs) ut bokset en tøff Peterson (35-4-1, 17 KOs) fra start til slutt, utstillingsvindu en rekke ferdigheter, fart og kraft. Kampen ble stoppet før starten av åttende runde etter Peterson-trener, Barry Hunter, kalt for stans.

 

 

 

Kampen spilles ut ligner på hvordan både jagerfly spådd, starter i en cagey taktisk affære før det omgjort til en aggressiv kamp i midten runder. To minutter inn i runde fem, Spence brukte et sviende venstre hook til å sende Peterson til lerretet (Klikk HERfor høydepunkt). The Washington, Likespenning. innfødte tilbake til sine føtter, og fortsatte å kjempe, men Spence viste seg å være for mye. Den 2012 US-. Olympian ut landet Peterson 161-45, under tilkobling på 49 prosent av hans makt slag å bare 31 prosent for Peterson.

 

 

 

Etter kampen Spence snakket med Showtime Sports reporter Jim Gray og var rask til å gi kreditt til sin motstander. “Jeg vil takke Lamont,"Han sa. “Mange av gutta slått ned kampen og han tok det som en ekte kriger, og jeg berømmer ham for det. He’s a tough fighter. He’s willing to die in there.” Click HER å se intervjuet høydepunkt.

 

 

 

Til tross for å tjene seieren i kommanderende mote, Spence mener fortsatt han har plass til å forbedre. “Jeg kan fortsatt forbedre mye på forsvar min,”Sa ubeseiret verdensmester. “Jeg må bare holde perfeksjonere mine ferdigheter og holde framdrift. Du kommer til å se en bedre Errol Spence neste gang jeg får i ringen.

 

 

 

“Alle vet at jeg har ventet på‘litt tid’Thurman,”Sa Spence, ser fremover til en mulig forening kamp med WBC og WBA weltervekt verdensmester Keith Thurman. "Siden jeg var 15-0 I’ve been calling this guy out and he keeps making excuses. La oss få det på. Han har to av beltene, og vi har begge store navn. Det er en enkel kamp for å gjøre, og jeg vil ha det.”

 

 

 

Peterson, som kjempet tappert mot yngre Spence, respektert avgjørelsen av sin trener til å stoppe kampen, “Hvis han ber meg om å kjempe en million mennesker, Jeg vil. Hvis han ber meg om å slutte. jeg skal stoppe. Jeg vil aldri spørsmålet hans avgjørelse. Jeg vet at han har mine beste interesser på hjertet.”

 

 

 

“Det var veldig vanskelig, men hvis du vet Lamont, du vet at han ikke hadde tenkt å gi opp,”Sa trener Barry Hunter. “Jeg måtte stoppe det. På slutten av dagen, dette er min sønn her. Det finnes ikke noe mer verdifullt enn hans velvære. Hvis det kommer til ham eller vinne, Jeg plukker ham. Jeg bryr meg om ham.”

 

 

Undefeated 135-pound world champion Robert påske (21-0, 14 KOs) earned a split decision victory over former world champion Javier Fortuna (33-2-1, 23 KOs) i co-hovedarrangementet av Showtime sendingen. Dommerne scoret bout 114-113, 113-114 og 115-112.

 

 

 

Back-og-tilbake bout så to dyktige krigere bo i lommen og ser til å gjøre skade fra innsiden. En andre runde punkt fradrag fra Fortuna viste seg kostbar når dominikanske ble advart og deretter straffet for å trykke påsken bak hodet. Uten ett poeng fradrag, kampen ville blitt scoret uavgjort. Mens påsken Jr. var litt travlere, Fortuna landet de mer kraftige slag. Påske Jr., som holdt en betydelig høyde fordel, ut landet Fortuna, tilkobling på 120 av 383 (31 prosent) kraft slag mens Fortuna koblet sammen i 113 av 441 (26 prosent).

 

 

 

“Det var en tøff kamp, han er en tidligere verdensmester for en grunn,”Påske fortalte Gray. “Vi har gjort det vanskelig å prøve å motvirke slag. Han var ikke kaster mye og det gjorde det vanskelig for meg å jage denne fyren rundt.

 

 

 

“Jeg kunne ikke få knockout, men vi fikk seieren, og det er alt som betyr noe. Jeg visste at han kom til å kjøre en gang han følte min makt. Han ønsket bare å fange og holde hele kampen.”

 

 

 

Ser fremover, Påske laget hans intensjoner klart som han søker forening kamper i nær fremtid, “Jeg ønsker å kjempe vinnere og forene disse belter. Kamper som dette er ikke i min game plan. Jeg er klar for Mikey Garcia og Jorge Linares å signere kontrakten.”

 

 

 

En misfornøyd Fortuna har også snakket med Grey, “Publikum vet hva som skjedde her. De buet fordi de vet at jeg vant denne kampen.

 

 

 

“Hvis han er en mann la oss kjempe igjen på 135-pounds,”Sa Fortuna, who failed to make weight on two attempts Fredag, noe som medførte at påsken i beltet ikke ville være på linje. “Jeg vil definitivt gjøre vekten. Jeg ville ikke gi meg selv nok tid til å trene.”

 

 

 

Ubeseiret lett tungvektskonkurrent Marcus Browne (21-0, 16 KOs) gjort kort prosess med Francy Ntetu (17-2, 4 KOs) i SHOWTIME Championship Boxing prelims handling, as he dropped and battered his opponent early to force referee Arthur Mercante to stop the bout at just 2:15 fra den første runden. Kjemper for sitt 12th time at the Barclays Center, den 27 år gamle Staten Island innfødte holdt sin plettfritt rekord intakt ved å utnytte sin mektige venstre hånd på overmatched Ntetu.

 

 

 

Browne etablert sin dominans fra start, landing en ren hand venstre som falt Ntetu halvveis i runden. Montreal, Québec opprinnelig var aldri i stand til å gjenvinne hans føtter og fant seg selv cornered mot tauene bare tretti sekunder senere. En kryssild av kraftige kombinasjoner landet på forsvars Ntetu forlot dommeren med lite annet valg enn å stoppe kampen med 45 sekunder igjen i rundt tall én.

 

 

 

“Vi jobbet for denne seieren. Han gikk inn i en sikker skutt og jeg gjorde ham betale,”Sa Browne. “Den overhand venstre fanget ham, og det var begynnelsen på slutten for ham. Jeg visste at han var såret.

 

 

 

“Jeg trenger en verden tittel skutt. Jeg er klar til å ta på noen av vinnere. Jeg har ikke noen preferanser. Jeg er glad jeg satt sammen en flott forestilling her på Barclays Center. Jeg kommer til å holde bedre før jeg virkelig blitt Mr. Barclays Center.”

 

 

 

kreditt, som flyttet opp mot lyset tungvekt divisjon for denne kampen, hadde en hard tid håndtere Browne kombinasjon av fart og kraft på vei til den andre tapet av sin pro karriere.

 

 

 

"[Browne] er meget eksplosiv, Gratulerer til ham,” Said Ntetu. “Han er rask, han er smart, og jeg hadde ikke forvente seg å være så eksplosiv. Han fikk meg med sin høyre hook og en rett venstre.

 

 

 

“Jeg var i nok form til å kjempe for 10 runder. Dette er ikke min vektklasse, men jeg ønsker ikke å lage unnskyldninger.”

 

 

 

I åpningen anfall av SHOWTIME MESTERSKAP BOXING prelims, ubeseiret Adam Kownacki (17-0, 14 KOs) delivered a brutal knockout of Iago Kiladze (26-2, 18 KOs) ved 2:08 of the sixth round of their heavyweight matchup. Kownacki, født i Lomza, Polen, men kjemper ut av Brooklyn, New York, hatt støtte fra sin hjemby mengden som han stadig hadde Kiladze ned.

 

 

 

Kownacki var mer aggressive og nøyaktige av de to jagerfly, landing 43 prosent av hans makt slag og 35 prosent av sine totale slag, sammenlignet med bare 30 prosent og 18 prosent, henholdsvis, for Kiladze. Til tross for en blodig nese som Kownacki led i første runde, den polske tungvekt begynte å helle den på og dekk Kiladze med en rekke uppercuts og en-to kombinasjoner i fjerde runde. Den actionfylte bout kom til slutt da Kownacki koblet på en kombinasjon av to uppercuts og en høyre hånd som sendte Kiladze på ryggen i det siste minuttet av den sjette runden. Etter en lamslått Kiladze tilbake til sine føtter, Dommeren Shada Murdaugh kalt kampen på forslag fra ringside lege.

 

 

 

“Jeg er så takknemlig til alle mine polske fans som kommer ut og gi meg som ekstra støtte”, sa Kownacki, som kjempet foran hundrevis av hans landsmenn. “Jeg kommer til å fortsette å kjempe for fansen og gi alle et flott show.

 

 

 

“Jeg tror jeg gjorde kampen mye vanskeligere enn jeg burde ha. Det er en annen erfaring og jeg fikk seieren. Det er alt som betyr noe."

 

 

 

Republikken Georgia-fødte Kiladze, som kjemper ut av Los Angeles, var ikke i stand til å snakke med media da han ble tatt til NYU Lutheran Hospital forsiktighetshensyn.

ERROL SPENCE JR.
“Denne kampen betyr alt for meg. I still have a chip on my shoulder. I want to be the last man standing. I want to beat the top fighters in my division. Lamont is the one standing in front of me, so it’s fight time.
“I think it’s going to turn into a war. A lot of people have thought this would be an easy fight for me. But if you follow Lamont Peterson, you know this will be tough. He’s always in great shape and has a lot of skills. IT might be a dog fight and that’s what I wanted. He’s the guy who wanted to fight and I said of course. It’s going to be a rugged fight. Later on in the fights, he always gets rough and stands toe-to-toe.
“There might not be a lot of talking and bad blood between us, but you know that the two of us always give a great fight for the fans.
“I had to wait for my title defense and then I had a lot of guys not answer the call for this fight. I have a belt and I still have to call these other guys out. Lamont Peterson answered the call like a real fighter.
“In a perfect world I’d be unifying with Keith Thurman this year. I’m going to fight three times this year though. You don’t get time back. I’m ready to strike now.
“I’m just excited to fight. Jeg liker å slåss. I can’t wait to be in front of those bright lights in front of the fans. Brooklyn is a great place to fight and my family from the area can come see me live. I can’t wait to display my skills.
“A true champion can’t fight everybody who calls them out, it’s still a business. But a true champion fights other champions, especially when they’re available. You can’t avoid questions and try to delay a fight. You fight the next champion that’s available, that’s what a true champion does.”
LAMONT PETERSON
“When I got into boxing, I had goals. First I wanted to be a National Champion, then a world champion as a professional, but the ultimate goal is to be in the Hall of Fame. With that being my goal, I wouldn’t put myself in that conversation yet. With wins over a guy like Errol Spence and the other top welterweights, I think I’m right there in it. That’s my goal and I’ll give it my all to get there.
“If you left it to me I’d fight every month. That’s how much I love the sport. I know a victory would help me get in the ring even more often. Sometimes if you lose at the top level, other top guys don’t want to take a chance against you. I can fix all of that this weekend
“I don’t worry about any negativity. My resume is written in the history books. All I can do is respect the opinion of others and work hard to get this win.
“I’m excited and looking forward to the skill level that’s going to be displayed this weekend. It’s going to be a rough fight for sure. But I look forward to the technique and skill level. Defense, offense and transitioning between the two. That’s the part of boxing that I love.
“Errol even taking the Kell Brook fight was impressive to me. Most guys in his position take their time leading up to the first title shot, but he ended up fighting someone in his prime in his country. To will himself to that win was very impressive.
“When you get to the big stages and those big fights, you have to win more than you lose. I think if I can win some big fights these next few years my career will be in a good place.”
ROBERT PÅSKE
“I have no concerns fighting a southpaw. I made my last fight hard, but this time I’m going to use my reach, my feet and my speed to dominate.
“I’m looking for a great performance. This is going to be the best Robert Easter the fans have ever seen. We prepared to dominate this fight.
“Javier Fortuna is an accomplished fighter but I don’t know too much about him. I know what I came to do. I’m a world champion and everyone knows what I bring to the fight game. I won’t leave without my strap.
“I’m ready to fight the best in this sport. I want to become the man at this weight and I know I have to beat the other champions to do that.
“Boxing is all about showing you’re the best and fighting the best. I just want to fight these other champions in my weight class. I’m looking to stay healthy in 2018 and remain on top.”
JAVIER FORTUNA
“I have no excuses on Januar 20. I hope he doesn’t either. I will be taking that title to the Dominican Republic for my fans. I’ve been dreaming about it and I will take it.
“I have the style and the skills to beat Robert Easter. I know how to make sure his height does not affect me at all. Everyone will see it on fight night.
“I’ve prepared myself very well. I have a plan to win every round. If he’s able to stand there, I’m going to break him down round by round.
“I am fighting for more than just myself and that is why I’ll be successful. I am going to prove that I’m truly one of the top fighters in the sport.
“Robert Easter is a fighter I respect, but I believe I can defeat anyone in front of me. If he takes me lightly, it will go even worse for him. I’ve been training hard to make sure I’m at my absolute best on fight night.
“A win would be great for my country, my fans and my family. Winning this title is everything for me. That’s why I’m here and I will not be stopped.”
DERRICK JAMES, Spence Trainer
“I started training Errol about nine years ago but I never really knew just how special he was until about a year or so into our training. I thought Olympics were definitely possible, because I didn’t want to look too far ahead. Now that we’re here, I think he can beat any of the top guys. I want him to be undisputed welterweight champion just like he wants to be.
“I never worry about comparing Errol to other guys in the sport. He’s a hard puncher who breaks ribs and breaks faces. The longer the fight goes, the more pain he inflicts. I’ve never seen anybody who punches that hard.
“I think Lamont knew when he moved up to welterweight that this fight would be a possibility. It’s time for us to go to work because I know Lamont and Barry Hunter are working on a game plan. They have a great team and I know Lamont will be ready for what we bring.”
BARRY HUNTER, Petersons Trainer
“We stay in the gym all the time. We didn’t have to deal with the weight monster this camp. Weight issue can really derail a camp leading up to a fight of this magnitude. We didn’t have to deal with any of that.
“There are several different things in Errol’s arsenal that I think we can exploit. Errol will make adjustments though, so I think strategy will be a key in this fight.
“Lamont has always been a coach’s dream. He’s the type of athlete that you would love to coach. He does everything a coach asks of him. He will train until he passes out. All he wants is to work hard and compete.”
LOU DiBella, President i DiBella Entertainment
“This is a great night for boxing. The first January date of the year drums up a lot of excitement and we expect a great turnout på lørdag natt på Barclays Center. It’s going to be a great crowd and an exciting night from top to bottom.
“Errol Spence Jr. is one of the best young fighters in the world testing himself against another great fighter in Lamont Peterson It’s the best fighting the best. Lamont Peterson is a guy with a tremendous resume. If anybody thinks Errol is going to take Lamont lightly, they’re mistaken and he would be too.
“Both of these main event fighters are lucky to have trainers who are real teachers. They are old school and two of the best. Derrick James and Barry Hunter know the game inside and out.
“Robert Easter is a beast, he’s got reach, power and boxing ability. He’s facing a guy in Javier Fortuna who is a confident former world champion. Javier has been talking a big game. He’s talking about knockouts. You want to see a guy come into a fight like this with that kind of confidence.
“This year in boxing is starting out just like last year started, at Barclays Center with a great, even matchup like Badou Jack vs. James DeGale last year.”
STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Konserndirektør & General Manager, Showtime Sports
“In terms of representing the sport, you don’t get any better than Errol Spence Jr. and Lamont Peterson. The professionalism of these guys is unmatched and they represent the best of the sport. I’m proud to have them on the network.
“You can’t play boxing. You have to be dedicated and passionate. Those values are going to be reflected in the ring på lørdag.
“This is a special fight. These are the best in the sport. They’re both top 10 gutta. Errol Spence Jr. has grown up on SHOWTIME.
He made his pro debut on ShoBox and won his first world title on SHOWTIME. This is Lamont’s eighth appearance on SHOWTIME and he has one of the strongest resumes in the sport.
“Robert Easter and Javier Fortuna is another matchup of top 10 gutta. What we’re doing here is special. This isn’t just another network doing boxing, this is the cream of the crop.”
BRETT YORMARK, CEO of Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment
“I’m really excited about Lørdag natt. We’ve been very fortunate to host the first big event of the year. There’s an appetite to get back into the game and we’re happy to be hosting it.
“I want to welcome back Errol and Lamont to Barclays Center. Both have been there before and we’re thrilled to have you back. We’re pleased that Robert has finally decided to take his show to Barclays Center and give the fans a performance. Last time Javier won at Barclays Center he won his world title and we’re happy to have him back.
“We’re going to create something great here in Brooklyn and it continues på lørdag night at Barclays Center.”

Also in attendance at the workout was Peterson’s brother, once-beaten contender Anthony Peterson, who competes in undercard action on the Januar 20 begivenhet.
Here is what the workout participants had to say Thursday:
LAMONT PETERSON
“Jeg føler stor. I’m already close to weight. I’m happy and eating up to five times a day. I feel strong and I’m ready for this fight.
“I have to look at this as really just another big fight. When you’re at the top, you try not to make too much of each fight. We know what’s at stake. I know that when I keep it simple, that’s when I perform best.
“Right now my body feels better than ever. I’m comfortable with everything that’s gone on in camp and I think you can see it in my body.
“I’ve always trained hard since the first day I came here as a child. That’s been instilled in me since a young age and it’s carried me throughout my career.
“Everything I do is for D.C. I’m trying to get as much recognition for this area the best way I can. That’s what we all strive for in this gym. This is the biggest one that’s been on the schedule for a while and I’m ready to bring it home.
“It gets easier and easier the more championship fights I’m in. I was in shape for all of them, but I definitely put more pressure on myself when I was young. I’ve improved each time and now I feel like I’m really at the perfect place in my career.”
ANTHONY PETERSON
“I have to make a statement. I never feel comfortable with a decision. I think that’s a good thing because I have to be special under the bright lights.
“Everyone knows I like to go to the body. You know I’m going to make him work so you can look out for me to break my opponent down on the Januar 20.
“I’ve been sparring with a variety of experienced fighters over the last year and they’ve helped me out even while I haven’t had a fight. Ring rust is all mental. It’s up to you to put the work in.
“I haven’t gotten the fights that I want, but I’ll always stick to my game and stick to my craft. I know if I persevere, things will work out for me.
“I know that I love this sport. I know that eventually I will be a world champion. I believe in my future and I’m looking forward to big fights.
“It’s inspiring to watch Lamont do his thing and succeed. He’s going to beat Errol Spence, even if people don’t believe it. I think he’s going to take care of business.”
BARRY HUNTER, Petersons Trainer
“It’s been a long grind in camp for these guys. When I think back on how long we’ve been on this journey, I’m very proud of them. They were 9 og 10 when they first came into the gym.
“We don’t have the weight monster to deal with fighting at welterweight. Lamont is in a great place mentally and physically. I’m looking forward to an explosive fight.
“When you look at the Spence-Brook fight, early on Brook had a lot of success. Down the stretch Errol imposed his will and broke Brook down. I know Errol well and I’ve coached him. He has a strong will. He’s not great in one area, but he’s good in a lot of areas. This is a different kind of guy he’s facing. Heart is something Lamont is nowhere near short on. I think this might start off tactical, and then turn into a war.
“My job is to go in there with part of a plan, but it’s always about adjustments for us. Whatever Errol brings to the table, we’ll figure it out and put everything in motion.
“This last week is a lot of game plan and mental preparation work. A lot of fighters don’t train the mind. You have to train the mind even more so than the body. We have to be ready for every scenario.
“I think if Anthony goes in there and does his job there are a few vacant titles at 140-pounds and that’s a track for us. We want to get a strap around his waist and we’ll face anyone to get it.
“Lamont, along with Anthony, Gary Russell Jr., Jarrett Hurd and Gervonta Davis, have been holding down boxing in this area for a long time. It would be huge to bring this title home. There are a lot of young Lamont Petersons in this area who want to reach this level. It would be a beacon of light shining down and showing these people the way.”

“Errol har å holde denne mentaliteten går inn i denne kampen og utover, og han vet at. Å vinne en tittel er ikke hva han vil. Han ønsker å være ubestridt weltervekt mester. Han er veldig målrettet, og jeg tror han vil nå det målet. Han tar ikke nei for et svar. Han kommer til å presse seg selv til det ytterste og oppnå sine mål.
“Lamont Peterson er meget vittig og intelligent i ringen. Han er en tøffing også. Han bringer det mentale styrke som du trenger for å lykkes. Vi har til å komme til denne kampen 100 prosent og være fokusert hele tiden. Hvis vi ikke gjør det, Vi kan komme til kort.
“Jeg må være den beste versjonen av meg selv også. Jeg prøver å bli bedre og bedre hver kamp og hver dag i gym. Jeg vet jeg må være på toppen av alt som kunne skje. Barry Hunter er en tøff, intelligent trener som bringer mye til bordet. Lamont har et flott team. Det er en glede og en ære å møte dem i ringen.”

Her er hva jagerfly hadde å si om sitt januar 20 dueller og mer:
ROBERT PÅSKE (20-0, 14 KOs) – Making tredje forsvar av IBF Lett Verden tittel
“Denne kampen kan definitivt sette en god tone for meg i 2018. Jeg kommer til å være å lage en uttalelse med denne kampen. Mine tre siste kamper har jeg ikke fått en knockout. Jeg kommer til å være å gi mine fans og kjempe fans et bra show.
“Jeg kommer til å bruke min rekkevidde og lengde og ødelegge denne fyren fra utsiden. All min karriere jeg har slåss kortere gutta. Hvert kort fyr ikke kjempe på samme. Men du får i ringen og du føler ham ut og foreta justeringer.
“Det er ikke noe spesielt som jeg må forberede seg med Fortuna. Jeg tar hver kamp samme. Hver fighter kamper forskjellig så du får der, føler ham ut og foreta justeringer mens du går. Jeg er ikke bekymret for ham å være en southpaw. Jeg har møtt mange lefties i min karriere og amatører. Det er ingen problemer i det hele tatt.
“Jeg tror det som gjør meg mer farlig bokseren i denne kampen er å ha den høyden som jeg gjør og slagkraft og hastighet og tankesett samt. Min tenkemåte er at jeg ikke kommer inn der for å leke seg med ham. Jeg er klar til å ødelegge.
“Mine mål for 2018 er å fange opp flere titler, og for å få gjenforeningen bouts. Vi hadde noen vinnere i vektklassen, men det ser ut til at ingen er villig til å kjempe mot andre vinnere. Vi er villig til å gjøre hva det tar, bekjempe den som har titlene. Vi er villig til å fange opp alle disse titlene når de andre gutta er villige til å melde seg på kampene.”
JAVIER FORTUNA (33-1-1, 23 KOs) – Tidligere super fjærvekt verdensmester
“Min forberedelse til denne kampen går veldig bra. Jeg har jobbet ut i Den dominikanske republikk, men jeg har kommet tilbake til Boston for å fullføre min trening. Akkurat nå er vi på 75% og nærmer seg 100%. Jeg vil være helt forberedt når det er på tide å slåss. Min forberedelse og min strategi gjør meg mer farlig fyr.
“Jeg ser dette som ingen andre kamp som jeg har hatt før, fordi hver motstander er forskjellige. Alle har sin egen nisje på dette nivået, noe som fungerer for dem. Hans nisje er at han er høy. Han bruker det til sin fordel. Men det er ingenting som jeg ikke kan overvinne. Jeg har kjempet høye gutta før.
“Jeg foretrekker mine motstandere for å være høyere. Det spiller inn i hva jeg er i stand til å gjøre. Jeg har aldri hatt et problem med høyere motstandere. Abner Cotto (5-10) er en av høye gutta som jeg kjempet. Jeg kjempet i Chicago og sette på en stor ytelse. (Fortuna scoret 5th runde KO mot Cotto)
“Mitt mål for 2018 er å bekjempe alle de beste elite jagerfly i min vektklasse, og jeg prøver å bli nevnt som en av de beste i idretten. Jeg ønsker virkelig å vinne en VM-tittel i en annen vektklasse. Det ville være den største øyeblikk så langt i min karriere å få en annen verden tittel.”
Marcus Browne (20-0, 15 KOs) – Topp 10 rangert på 175 lbs. (WBC, WBO, WBA & IBF)
“Min motstander (Francy Ntetu, 17-1, 4 KOs) ser ut som en holdbar, tøffing. Jeg ser denne kampen blir veldig spennende for fansen så lenge det varer. Jeg så en liten bit av tape på ham. Jeg vet at han alltid kommer i toppform, og jeg hører han er konsekvent i sin opptreden i ringen. I just know I’m going to have to be sharp on Jan. 20.
“Det er alltid en ære å kjempe her hjemme og på Barclays Center. Det er spesielt å være i stand til å utføre foran disse fans, og jeg kan ikke vente med å sette på en god prestasjon som fører opp til Spence vs. Peterson kampen.
“Denne kampen kunne sette meg i den posisjonen at jeg trenger å være i for å kjempe for en verden tittel. Jeg kan ikke mangle på noen måte. Jeg må komme ut sterkt med stor ytelse fra start til slutt og etterlater ingen tvil i det.
“For 2018, Jeg ønsker å bli en verdensmester. Jeg er fast bestemt på tomake det skje i år. That vision starts on Jan. 20 at Barclays Center against Francy Ntetu.”
FRANCY NTETU (17-1, 4 KOs) – Kjempet David Benavidez på Barclays Center i juni 2015
“I know Marcus Browne is probably taking me lightly and thinks he will simply go through me. Jeg håper det er tilfelle, fordi det kommer til å være et sjokk for ham, fansen og teamet hans når jeg tar hans plass i kø for en tittel. Jeg ønsker å møte Eleider Alvarez i vår hjemby Montreal etter at jeg får denne seieren.
“Min forrige kamp på Barclays Center mot strømmen WBC-mester David Benavidez var tydeligvis en svært dårlig avgjørelse av dommeren å stoppe kampen, spesielt når jeg var å vinne runden og Benavidez var sakker. Jeg begynte å bli sterkere mens han stadig svakere.
“Jeg har aldri vært skadet og aldri blitt droppet i en kamp. Jeg ønsker Marcus å utfordre seg selv og se om han kan gjøre noe ingen andre har. Jeg gleder meg til å være i en kamp i denne størrelsesorden. Marcus, det er på tide for oss å gi fansen det de vil ha!”
ADAM Kownacka (16-0, 13 KOs) – Opprinnelig fra Polen & bekjempelse av Brooklyn
“Denne kampen kommer til å bli enda et steg mot å bli en mester. Jeg vet at jeg kommer til å jobbe veldig hardt og bevise at jeg fortsetter å bygge på min seier mot Szpilka. Fra videoen jeg har sett på Iago Kiladze (26-1, 18 KOs), han beveger seg mye, så jeg skal være behov for å kutte av ringen. Uansett hva han bringer til ringen, Jeg vil ha et svar for.
“Tre år på rad nå har jeg kjempet i januar. Jeg elsker start av året sterk. Min kone og jeg faktisk startet en tradisjon av “Kownacki Family Run” ved midnatt on New Year’s Eve. Siden jeg alltid forbereder seg til en kamp rundt nyttårs, vi tenkte vi kan like godt ha det gøy mens vi jobber. Så, vi har noen venner komme ut og kjøre noen få miles med oss ​​rundt i nabolaget i løpet av fyrverkeri. Det er morsomt og bidrar til å få meg klar.
“Til syvende og sist, Jeg ønsker å bli den beste i tungvekt divisjon. Det endelige målet for dette året er å bli verdensmester. Men den aller første skritt er å ta Iago Kiladze svært alvorlig. I can’t look past Januar 20 akkurat nå. Jeg har en tøff motstander som vil utfordre og gjøre meg til en bedre fighter i det lange løp.”
Iago Kiladze, Tredje kamp siden flytte opp til tungvekt divisjon (2-0, 2 KOs)
“I feel great and my training has been terrific. Min trener er Freddie Roach nå. Jeg sparred med (IBF Cruiservekt Champion) Murat Gassiev tre ganger nylig som er en fin forberedelse til meg. I believe I can knockout Kownacki but if I have to go the distance I’m prepared for that. Uansett, Jeg vil seire. Jeg føler at jeg er mer dyktig fighter og som vil vise i ringen.
“Dette er en stor kamp for min karriere og en veldig bra start for 2018. I know that if I win this fight I’ll be that much closer to a world title opportunity.
“Mitt mål er å bli verdensmester på slutten av 2018. I want to continue improving and learning under Freddie and with his guidance I’m confident of success.”
