BROOKLYN (Toukokuu 30, 2015) – Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) päällä Piikkireturned to Brooklyn’s Barclays Center perjantaina night with another explosive night of bouts for fight fans. Päätapahtuma, Emiiri “Kuningas” Kaani (31-3, 19 KOs) scored a crafty and hard fought unanimous decision over Chris Algieri (20-2, 8 KOs) ja Javier Fortuna (28-0-1, 20 KOs) won a crowd-pleasing unanimous decision victory over Bryan Vasquez (34-2, 18 KOs) in the televised opener.

 

Below are comments made by the televised fighters after their performances tänä iltana:

 

AMIR KHAN

 

I thought I worked well inside. I’ve never done a lot of work in the pocket like that and I plan to do more of that in the future.

 

I give Chris a lot of credit. He came forward a lot more than we thought he would and he had a big chin tänä iltana.

 

Chris gave it his all tänä iltana. This is the best Algieri we’ve seen in a long time, and if he’d have fought Manny (Pacquiao) that way he might have won.

 

Everyone knows I want Floyd (Mayweather) next after all the talk about it, but when you wait and hope for something for this long it can set you back. I don’t want to overlook any other fighters, including Chris.

 

My first show with PBC has been great. The New York crowd was awesome and really got into it. The promotion was excellent and I’m proud to be a part of this team.

 

CHRIS ALGIERI

 

I thought I pressured Khan well and got my touches. He definitely didn’t like it when I got into his body.

 

I thought I hurt him several times, but Khan’s a cagey fighter and he spins off. I guess the judges liked that tänä iltana. I would think the cleaner, harder shots would get a little more respect.

 

I think PBC is fantastic. The focus is on the fighters, not the politics or the promoters. This is helping bring the sport back to boxing’s glory days of primetime events for the fans.

 

I haven’t thought much about after this fight. Olen pettynyt, but I’ll watch the film from this fight and we’ll go from there.

 

JAVIER FORTUNA

 

I’m very surprised that the fight went the distance. Vasquez is a strong fighter. After the fifth round, I was boxing to score points.

 

I was never really hurt by Vasquez, but I hurt my own hand on his head.

 

Vasquez didn’t really affect me throughout the fight. The swelling on my eye is from a headbutt.

 

The biggest key to my success tänä iltana was my training. Before this I didn’t have the stamina that I needed. Kuitenkin, after my work with Hector Bermudez leading up to this fight I was more than ready.

 

Becoming a champion here in New York is huge for me. I’m very proud of my performance tänä iltana.”

 

BRYAN VASQUEZ

 

My style is to box and then move. Fortuna fought a smart fight tänä iltana. He wouldn’t engage me and fight.

 

Fortuna used his head and elbows a lot tänä iltana, but I don’t want to use that as an excuse. I tried telling the referee, but nothing was done.

 

I worked very hard for three months of training to get to this fight. I hope I won over some fans today because I fight to please them.

 

Hopefully I get a rematch because this is not the end of my career, and I’d love the chance to take that belt from Fortuna.

 

I want to thank PBC for this opportunity. It was great being a part of this show and I hope they’ll think of me again in the future.

Tässä on mitä osallistujat oli sanottavaa Keskiviikko:

 

AMIR KHAN

 

I really believe that I have the movement, the skills and the technique to beat Chris Algieri and look spectacular doing it.

 

Algieri has been in the ring with big names before so we know that’s not going to scare him and he won’t get nervous. I’m going to be ready for anything he brings to the table.

 

This is going to be an entertaining fight because of our styles. We both like to throw a lot of punches and there will be a lot of movement. This will be a more skillful fight and I think the fans will enjoy what they see.

 

I’ve always wanted to fight here at Barclays Center and I really am excited to put on a great performance for all the New Yorkers.

 

Virgil Hunter has been great for me as a fighter and he’s helped me really understand the sport of boxing. I’ve worked on my technique and my defense and really just everything.

 

Training camp for me has been really good. I’m focused on my opponent and I’m not going to make any mistakes. It’s going to be a great performance from me perjantaina.”

 

CHRIS ALGIERI

 

This is going to be a great fight with two fast-paced boxers. It’s going to be very exciting for everyone watching.

 

Working down in Florida with John David Jackson really refreshed a lot of things in boxing for me. I got to see new things and try new things. I learned a lot.

 

The only thing that matters is proving something to myself and I do feel like I have to prove something. I wasn’t happy with my last performance at all. I know I belong here at the elite level and it’s time for me to prove it.

 

I like to challenge myself and this is a great opportunity. I’m ready for this, I will challenge anybody in the welterweight division.

 

I feel very comfortable being here in New York and I’m happy to be back at Barclays Center.

 

JAVIER FORTUNA

 

For me it is an honor to be here in Brooklyn. This will be a great night for all of my fans.

 

I hope my opponent doesn’t have any excuses perjantaina, because I’m going to knock him out.

 

Everyone here is going to see a great performance and I can’t wait to get in the ring.

 

I’m a strong fighter and I am looking forward to showing everyone what I am capable of.

 

BRYAN VASQUEZ

 

I’m very thankful to be here and I look forward to a great fight. I promise it’s going to be a war.

 

I’m an exciting fighter who always comes to fight. This is my time and I will not disappoint.

 

Fighting in New York is a great opportunity. I want people to see that Costa Rica has great fighters.

 

I know I have a tough opponent, but he has never faced anyone like me. I’m going to give it my all and I hope he does the same.

 

MARCUS BROWNE

 

I feel like having a daughter has given me the kick in the rear that really has me focused on what I want to do, which is becoming a world champion. I want to give her a better life than I ever had.

 

My intensity and focus has never been higher. The fun part of boxing is back again.

 

I told my daughter that ‘daddy is going to give you the world.So I guess I need to become a world champion to give her the world. Her first word might be ‘champ.'

 

I’m so thankful to all the people at Barclays Center that allow me to continue to show off my talent and skills in this beautiful building.

 

Fighting on this Premier Boxing Champions card is really special and amazing. When I went to the Olympics in 2012 we stayed in Bolton and worked out at Amir Khan’s gym, now it comes full circle.

 

Fans can expect to see ‘spizazzfrom me. That’s a word I came up with back in my amateur days. I’m here to bring that ‘spizazz’ takaisin, if you want to know what that is you have to buy a ticket for Perjantai night.”

 

HEATHER HARDY

 

I don’t look past what is in front of me. I have a really tough challenge in front of me perjantaina. I know she has an incredible desire to win and I’m ready for that.

 

I’m a pretty aggressive fighter but I’ve been known to box. I go in there and make adjustments but I’m not afraid to throw punches.

 

There was a really unfinished feeling after my last fight, I was disappointed. I expected more from my opponent. I wanted to put on a show for fans to remember.

 

I definitely want to make up for my last fight this time and I feel like my opponent is on the same page with me about where we need to go to take this sport further.

ANDRE DIRRELL

 

I always knew my day would come. I put in the work, I love this sport so I give it what I owe.

 

I’m happy to get a shot at another title. I’m not going to take it for granted. I’m going to put in my work and perform to the best of my ability and that will make me a world champion.

 

I’m glad to be getting in there with somebody who believes he can win. I want someone who will test me like I’ll test them. That’s a real championship fight.

 

I’m much hungrier than I was early in my career and I’m more focused mentally. With age comes wisdom. Everything I went through is all a blessing.

 

My goals are set and I’m going to accomplish every one.

 

James DeGale

 

Dirrell’s team is trying to get in my head. They must be scared. I’m wound up and I’m ready.

 

I’m obsessed with making history. It’s what drives me to work so hard in the gym and succeed in the ring.

 

It’s been a 16-week camp come fight night, so it’s been a long time. My body and mind feel ready to fight, I am so sharp and in a very good place.

 

He’s a tricky, talented, confident fighterhe believes in his ability. He said that he would not get beaten again in his career, and I am sure he believes that 100 prosentti. So you have two very confident fighters going into the ring lauantaina.

 

I’m going to show everybody who I am. I’m driven to become the first Olympic gold medalist from the U.K. to win a world title and I’m doing it for my country.

 

EDWIN RODRIGUEZ

 

It’s an extremely important fight because it’s so close to my home.

 

I’m excited to be fighting on NBC. This is a great opportunity for me to be back at the elite level.

 

It’s important for me to get this win and get into a big fight against the best. I know I have to look impressive and that’s what I plan on.

 

DANNY O'CONNOR

I was disappointed in my fight with Paulie Malignaggi dropping out but there are always positives and one of them is that I’m now fighting in my hometown of Boston.

 

I do a lot of work in and out of the ring to prepare for a fight. I’m full focused now on fighting Chris Gilbert.

 

I want to thank all the people who helped get me onto this card, including Murphys Boxing, I promise I’m going to put on a show come Lauantai.”

 

CHRIS GILBERT

 

“Tämä on valtava tilaisuus minulle. I’ve known about Danny since I started boxing and I’ve even been on a few cards with him.

 

Danny has been the top New England fighter in my division and you always want to compare your skills with somebody like him.

 

I was in Vermont and I’m always in top shape prepared to get a call to fight and this here is that big opportunity.

 

GARY “SPIKE” O'SULLIVAN

 

This is absolutely awesome fighting here and it’s a very important fight for me to go win.

 

When I knock out my opponent lauantaina, I want to be the number one contender in the division and fight all the big names.

 

RYAN KIELCZWESKI

It’s awesome fighting in Boston in front of my home crowd with all of my friends, family and friends in attendance.

 

Fighting on the undercard of this huge event with so many great fights makes the experience even better and one I’ll never forget.

DUE TO INJURY

BROOKLYN (Toukokuu 15, 2015) – An exciting junior lightweight battle between Javier Fortuna ja Bryan Vasquez will now open the Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) Spike telecast on Perjantai, Toukokuu 29 live from Barclays Center in Brooklyn beginning at9:00 p.m. JA/6:00 p.m. PT.

 

Fortuna vs. Vasquez, which was originally scheduled to take place Toukokuu 23, replaces the bout between Paulie Malignaggi and Danny O’Connor as Malignaggi suffered a severe cut above his eye in training camp. The 12-round brawl will lead into the highly anticipated contest between former world champions Amir Khan ja Chris Algieri.

 

An amateur standout who participated in the first Pan American Junior Championships in 2003, 25-vuotias Onni (27-0-1, 20 KOs) owns victories over Abner Cotto, Miguel Zamudio ja Patrick Hyland. The undefeated rising star out of La Romana, Dominican Republic holds four knockouts over his last six fights as he looks to put on another great show on Toukokuu 29.

 

The 27-year-old Vasquez (35-1, 18 KOs) is quickly becoming known as the preeminent pugilist from the island of Costa Rica. The San Juan-native is the winner of his last five fights, including a stoppage of Sergio Thompson in Dec. 2014. Vasquez does not shy from any competition and will not back down when he faces his toughest test to date in Javier Fortuna on Spike TV.

 

O’Connor will now fight in his hometown of Boston on Lauantai, Toukokuu 23 on the undercard of the PBC NBC event from Boston University’s Agganis Arena.

Danny O'Connor, Framingham, MA:

I think the show is big but, for me, it’s just another fight with Paul. I’m excited about the challenge in front of me, matching my skills against somebody like Paul with his resume. Olen erittäin keskittynyt. All the work is done here (in gym).”

 

Ryan Kielczweski, Quincy, MA:

It’s really cool fighting close to home on such a big card with double world title fights. Someday, hopefully, I’ll be there. I’m focusing on my fight and when that’s over I’ll watch Edwin (Rodriguez) taistella.”

 

Javier Fortuna, Romanian, Dominikaaninen tasavalta

I feel super good and super confident. I’ve been training here (Boston) but haven’t seen much of the city. I expect a lot of fans there for me. I’ve been doing a lot of Spanish interviews. I await their approval of my performance.

 

Jonathan Guzman, Santo Domingo, Dominikaaninen tasavalta

I feel very, very good. Olen valmis taistelemaan, 19 varten 19 (19 voittoa, 19 KOs). I have a lot of family living in Lawrence (suburb) Boston) and I’ve been staying here (S. Boston).”

 

Ken Casey, Presidentti & CEO of Murphys Boxing

Boston is a sports-crazed city with a lot of good local fighters. It’s a shame a show like this hasn’t happened here in a long time. Sometimes it just takes good fighters and the right promoter to help them. It’s the perfect combination now.
