Ninsab kuntenta li jkun lura fil MGM Grand u ħerqana għal eliminatorja kbir. Dan huwa l-bidu tal-ħolqien isem tad-dar.”
“Huwa ħafna iġjeniċi li tkun taf li NBC qed iġġib boxing lura għall-televiżjoni primetime,” Said Guerrero. “Huwa ta 'unur li tkun parti ta' l-ewwel ispettaklu, especially against an undefeated champion like Keith Thurman. Everyone knows I always come to fight. Let’s hope Thurman has the same mindset. He claims that he’s going to knock me out, but I see a totally different outcome. When this fight is over, everyone tuning in will know why boxing is one of the most exciting sports to watch, li I jistgħu jiggarantixxu.”
“Din hija l-ewwel pagament kbira ta 'AB fuq NBC.’ M'hemm xejn I ma tistax tagħmel,” Said Broner. “Huwa ġlieda kbira mhux biss għall-ġellieda, iżda għall-fannijiet. Kulhadd jaf li dejjem nasal għall-ġlieda kontra u naf John Molina Jr. huwa li ġejjin għall-ġlieda kontra. Ninsab ħerqan li waqfien Molina fuq NBC. I love-appoġġ u xi ħadd li jappoġġja me; Jien ser ġlieda għalihom. Dan huwa biss il-bidu tal-"Uri AB’ fl-2015.”
“I am estremament eċċitati li tkun parti ta 'l juru inawgurali fuq NBC u li jkun fuq din il-pjattaforma. I ma jistgħux jistennew li jmorru hemmhekk u jagħmlu dak I do aħjar fil-quddiem ta 'miljuni ta' nies,” qal Molina Jr. “Irrid għall-ġlieda kontra l-aħjar u Broner huwa wieħed mill-aħjar. Din hija ġlieda li staqsejna għal aktar minn sena ilu u aħna finalment ltqajna. I am so eċċitati. Jien ma nervuża fil-livelli kollha. Jekk I kienu nervuża, I ma tkunx f'din l-industrija. Dan huwa t-tip ta 'ħaġa li ġellieda reali ħolma dwar. Jien għadd r-ġranet.”
Ir-ritorn ta 'boxing primetime fuq NBC huwa kważi 30 snin fil-teħid, bl-aħħar dan it-teħid lejl ġlieda post ta 'Mejju 20, 1985. That fight saw Larry Holmes win a 15-round decision and defend his IBF Heavyweight World Championship against Carl Williams in Reno, Nev.
Primetime televiżjoni nazzjonali kien dar ta 'żmien twil għal xi wħud mill-ismijiet l-aktar rikonoxxibbli fl-istorja tal-isport, with fighters such as Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, George Foreman and Mike Tyson making a name for themselves in front of a national audience.
The PBC on NBC series will feature a cast of familiar names and voices who will lend their immense talents to the broadcasts. Seven-time Emmy Award winner Al Michaels will host the series while Academy Award winning composer Hans Zimmer will compose the music that brings the series to life. B'żieda, legendary boxer Sugar Ray Leonard will serve as lead analyst.
“Jien hekk eċċitati dwar PBC fuq NBC. I kien ixxukkjat meta I ltqajna l-sejħa, imma dritt bogħod kont naf jien ridt li tkun parti ta 'dan il-,” Said Leonard. “Dan huwa dak boxing bżonnijiet, u dan huwa dak li l-fannijiet boxing bżonn.”

dwar Marzu 7, l-debutt tal- "Premier Boxing Champions’ series on NBC,” said Tom Brown of Goossen Promotions. “These are two outstanding fights featuring four world class boxers and fans are in for a terrific night of action.”
Thurman has long proven his power by knocking out 18 tal-ewwel tiegħu 19 avversarji, imma meta rebaħ l Titolu interim WBA welterweight Dinja bi 10th round knockout over Diego Chaves in July of 2013, huwa poġġa lilu nnifsu f'pożizzjoni li jiġġieldu l-aqwa fl-isport. Il Clearwater 26-il sena qodma, Nattiva Florida għamlet sa tliet difiżi titolu ta 'suċċess ma' knockouts minn Ġesù Soto KARASS u Julio Diaz, qabel jiddomina Leonard Bundu fi triqtu għal deċiżjoni unanima f'Diċembru 2014. Issa, Thurman jistenna li jibqgħu undefeated meta huwa jiffaċċja test aktar ħorox tiegħu sal-lum Guerrero.
A veteran ttestjati battalja, Warrior, tal Gilroy, Calif., ġie fost l-ġellieda elite fl boxing għas-snin. A southpaw boxer-zgħir, Guerrero rebaħ titli mondjali fl-erba 'klassijiet ta' piż mill- 130 biex 147 liri, swat l-jħobb ta Andre Berto, Joel Casamayor, Michael Katsidis u Selcuk Aydin tul it-triq. Prowess tiegħu madwar dawn il-klassijiet ta 'piż qala lilu ġlieda ma king-lira għall lira Floyd Mayweather fl 2013, li huwa tilef b'deċiżjoni unanima. “Il Ghost” irkupra lura nicely f'Ġunju tal- 2014 b'rebħa deċiżjoni unanima hard-ġġieldu matul Yoshihiro Kamegai.
Wieħed mill-boxing l-aktar magħrufa sew istilel, Broner, il Phenom 25-il sena qodma li jkun ġabar titoli dinja fil 130, 135 u 147 liri, hija l-iffissar sights tiegħu fuq il zgħir perikolużi John Molina Jr. dwar Marzu 7. Broner kien jeżisti matul l-jħobb ta Paulie Malignaggi, Daniel Ponce de León u Antonio Demarco fuq il-mod li ssir champion tliet diviżjoni. Minkejja tbatija ewwel telf tiegħu biex Marcos Maidana f'Diċembru 2013, il Cincinnati nattivi reġa 'beda bil back-to-back rebħiet fuq Carlos Molina u Emmanuel Taylor.
Molina Jr. from Covina, Calif., kellha suċċess kbir fil-gradi professjonali inkluż rebħa eliminatorja impressjonanti matul champion tad-dinja attwali Mickey Bey li ppruvat int qatt ma tista 'joqgħod il zgħir qawwija barra ta' ġlieda. Is-32-il sena tilef Ġlieda jpetpet tal-kandidat Sena li Lucas Matthysse fil 2014 u qed tfittex li tibda off 2015 ma rebħa kbira kontra Broner.
