KARLOS Balderas
“Je me suis beaucoup amélioré en travaillant dans la salle de sport. Je fais beaucoup de bon entraînement, de force et de conditionnement. Nous nous entraînons plus intensément mais aussi beaucoup plus intelligemment que jamais.
“Je suis vraiment heureux de ce combat. Je me suis bien préparé. Je prends ça aussi au sérieux qu’un combat de championnat. Vous allez voir un nouveau Karlos Balderas sur Avril 9.
“Je veux vraiment faire de Los Angeles ma maison pour autant de combats que possible. C’est là que tout se passe. Je veux faire mienne Los Angeles.
“Je veux être dans des combats passionnants en tant que professionnel. Je suis fier de ce que j’ai fait chez les amateurs et aux Jeux olympiques, mais je sais que c'est un jeu complètement différent. Je cherche à faire des choses encore plus grandes et meilleures.
“Je vais le prendre un combat à la fois. Je veux créer un disque parfait et constituer ma base de fans. J'espère me battre pour un titre mondial dans quelques années. Je sais que j'ai la bonne équipe pour m'y amener.
“Je vais essayer de rester occupé et de me battre tous les deux mois environ. Mon dernier combat était aux Jeux olympiques de Rio, mais après celui-ci, je serai prêt à rester à l’entraînement tout au long de l’année.
“Je connais beaucoup de ces autres combattants ici depuis longtemps de tous les tournois amateurs. C’est bien de nous voir tous réunis maintenant en tant que professionnels. Chez les amateurs, les gens restent pratiquement avec leur propre équipe, mais c'est le moment pour nous de nous rassembler et d'apprendre les uns des autres. C’est une sensation formidable de faire partie de ce.
“Tout le monde connaît un Carlos avec un 'C,’ alors je voulais me démarquer. En tant que professionnel et à partir de maintenant, Je vais être connu sous le nom de Karlos avec un «K».”
MISAEL RODRIGUEZ
“Je me sens très fort et j'ai hâte de revenir sur le ring. J'ai soif de me battre et de faire mes preuves dans ce sport.
“J'ai hâte de participer à de gros combats. Je sais que ça prend du temps. J'y arriverai finalement et je deviendrai champion du monde.
“Je connais Abner Mares depuis longtemps car il était aussi un olympien mexicain et c’était une décision facile de le faire aider dans ma carrière..
“Je savais après les JO qu'il était temps de devenir pro. Grandir comme un enfant mexicain, tout ce que je voulais c'était être un champion du monde. Je veux être un favori des fans mexicains.
“Los Angeles est comme un second Mexique. Je me sentirai comme au Mexique. Je sais que j'aurai beaucoup de fans venant de ma ville natale [Chihuahua, Mexique] pour me soutenir. Je suis ravi de travailler avec Richard et de mener d’autres combats formidables.”
EIMANTAS STANIONIS
“J'étais très excité et impatient quand j'ai entendu parler pour la première fois de l'opportunité de m'entraîner avec Freddie Roach. Je suis venu en Californie dès que j'ai pu pour commencer à m'entraîner.
“Je travaille très dur. Je donne tout ce que je peux à l'entraînement et je laisse tout dans la salle de sport tous les jours. Je vais juste continuer à faire de mon mieux.
“Les JO ont été une très bonne expérience pour moi. J'ai gagné beaucoup de tournois pour y arriver et cette route m'a conduit à ce moment.
“J'ai rencontré Richard Schaefer aux Jeux olympiques et c'est ce qui m'a amené à signer avec Ringstar. Je suis très heureux d’être avec Richard et je suis ravi de cette première étape.
“Je veux commencer à faire ma marque dans la division poids welter. C'est une division avec de grandes stars que j'aimerais affronter un jour.
“Je n'ai jamais pensé que je vivrais à Hollywood, mais me voici et j'aime Los Angeles.”
LINDOLFO DELGADO
“J'ai eu une expérience formidable aux Jeux olympiques et cela m'a donné beaucoup de confiance avant ma carrière professionnelle.. Je suis ravi de pouvoir enfin entrer sur le ring et j’espère que nous tous olympiens donnerons des performances spectaculaires.
“C’est un honneur de devenir pro sur cette même carte avec mon coéquipier mexicain, Misael Rodriguez. Je suis également très heureux pour Karlos et Eimantas et j'ai hâte de participer à d'autres émissions avec eux.
“J'ai hâte de concourir et de montrer mon talent à tous les fans. Je vais continuer à améliorer mes compétences et je pense qu’un jour je pourrai devenir un autre champion du monde mexicain.
“Signer avec Ringstar était le meilleur choix que j'aurais pu faire et je pense qu'il y aura beaucoup de succès pour Ringstar et pour moi. Ce sera une excellente première étape.”

“Il doit toujours y avoir quelqu'un qui porte la scène de la boxe du sud de la Californie. En ce moment, il y a un vide. Je vois Karlos devenir très vite le roi de L.A. et deviens une star du sport.
“Ce sera une grande soirée pour la boxe mexicaine. Misael et Lindolfo ont tous deux beaucoup de discipline et ont travaillé très dur pour gagner l'opportunité de représenter leur pays et ils apporteront cette éthique de travail aux pros..
“Lindolfo Delgado est le «Pretty Boy’ et je m'attends à ce qu'il amène beaucoup de fans féminines, tandis que Misael est le premier boxeur mexicain en 16 ans pour ramener une médaille des Jeux Olympiques, ce que je pense est très significatif.
“Freddie m'a dit que la seule autre fois où il a vu quelqu'un franchir la porte avec autant de talent naturel que Stanionis, c'est quand Manny Pacquiao est passé par cette porte.
“Je suis ravi de la soirée d’ouverture du Avril 9. C’est le début de la prochaine génération de stars. Les voir tous en une seule nuit va être très spécial.”
Freddie Roach, Stanionis’ Entraîneur
“C'est un grand spectacle pour l'avenir de la boxe. Vous avez quatre olympiens talentueux dans cette émission. J'ai hâte que Stanionis montre ses talents au monde.
“Stanionis s'est battu avec cinq des partenaires d'entraînement de Miguel Cotto et il en a renversé trois si cela vous dit quelque chose sur son pouvoir.
“Je veux juste qu'il aille là-bas, s'amuse et fasse son travail. Nous n’allons pas chercher un KO au premier tour, mais si ça vient, c'est un bonus. Nous allons montrer nos compétences et gagner chaque minute de chaque tour.”
ROBERT GARCIA, Entraîneur de Rodriguez
“Je travaille avec Misael depuis environ trois mois après qu'Abner me l'ait amené. Avec le Mexique derrière lui et remportant une médaille de bronze, c'est déjà énorme. Nous avons un plan de match avec cet enfant que nous allons exécuter.
“Misael n'a fait partie de l'équipe mexicaine que pendant deux ans. C'était le membre le moins expérimenté de l'équipe. Il va acquérir beaucoup d’expérience en combattant en tant que pro.
“Nous allons le garder occupé et nous voulons vraiment qu'il se batte au Mexique. Il va continuer à gagner plus de confiance à chaque fois qu'il entre sur le ring.”
Abner Mares, Directeur de Rodriguez
“Je voulais juste aider Misael sur le plan commercial du sport et c'est pourquoi je me suis impliqué dans sa carrière. Je l’ai amené au gymnase de Robert pour s’entraîner et tout le monde a vu qu’il avait beaucoup de compétences.
“Être médaillé de bronze du Mexique est une grande chose à faire entrer chez les pros et je pense que c'est quelque chose que les fans mexicains peuvent soutenir. Misael a de la place pour grandir mais je crois que les compétences sont là pour être une championne du monde.
“J'espère utiliser mon expérience et mes relations pour lui donner les bons combats et le mettre en mesure d'atteindre son plein potentiel.”

LOS ANGELES (Décembre. 10, 2016) - Abner Mares (30-2-1, 15 KOs) scored an impressive, upset 12-round split decision over defending champion Jésus Cuellar (28-2, 21 KOs) to capture the WBA Featherweight World Championship and become a four-time boxing titlist Samedi in the main event of a SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING doubleheader.

 

In the co-feature from Galen Center on the campus of USC in Los Angeles, Jermall Charlo (25-0, 19 KOs) retained his IBF Junior Middleweight World title with an emphatic fifth-round knockout over previously unbeaten, top-ranked Julian "J-Rock" Williams (22-1-1, 14 KOs).

Earlier in the day on SHOWTIME, unbeaten IBF Heavyweight World Champion Anthony Joshua (18-0, 18 KOs) assommé Eric Molina (25-4, 19 KOs), de Weslaco, Texas, in the third round in Manchester, Angleterre. (FAITS SAILLANTS VIDEO: http://s.sho.com/2hqHTo8)

 

Mères, de Huntington Beach, Calif., by way of Guadalajara, Mexique, a été victorieux par les scores de 117-110, 116-111 et 112-115. Judge Kermit Bayless was the lone descender to score the hard-fought match for the Argentine. Mares scored the bout’s lone knockdown in the 11th round. Cuellar, de Buenos Aires, had an 11-fight winning streak end. (FAITS SAILLANTS VIDEO: http://s.sho.com/2hbJayp)

 

Mères, making his first start en 16 mois and first with renowned trainer Robert Garcia, executed a technically sound game plan and was the more accurate puncher than Cuellar, who was under the tutelage of Hall of Famer Freddie Roach pour la première fois dans sa carrière.

 

“I feel so good, it’s been a long time. I’m champion, bébé,’’ said Mares, 31, a former WBC featherweight and super bantamweight world champion and IBF bantamweight world champion, who became Garcia’s 10e champion du monde. “We had the perfect game plan.

 

“I never doubted myself. I felt it in my heart. When I fought Lion (Santa Cruz) I beat myself because I fought the wrong fight. I fought smart ce soir. I thought it would be a unanimous decision, but at the end of the day I’m champion.’’

 

Cuellar is known as a devastating puncher, but he was unable to land his power shots or cut off the ring against Mares, who seemingly pocketed rounds with accuracy and a solid left hook. Mares floored Cuellar with a straight right in the opening minute of the 11th, sending Cuellar to the canvas for the third time of his career. The onslaught continued, with a resurgent Mares teeing off on Cuellar until he raised his hands following the final bell.

“They said he was a power puncher, they said he was going to knock me out, but I proved that I have some power, trop,’’ said Mares, who dropped a majority 12-round decision to Santa Cruz in his last fight on Aug. 29, 2015. “I want Leo, Je voudrais (Carl) Frampton, I want anyone. Je suis un champion. I’m not afraid of anyone.”

 

Cuellar stated his case for a rematch afterward.

 

“I thought the fight was pretty even until he threw me down, and that’s when he took control,», A déclaré Cuellar, who was making his third title defense. “He definitely had the boxing skills going today. I would have preferred a rough fight, but Mares had his skills today. Je veux une revanche. I gave him the opportunity and now I think it’s fair that he gives it to me.”

 

En cas de co-principal, Charlo dropped Williams three times, once in the second and twice in the fifth. Williams, who had not lost a round in 10 consecutive fights, went down for the first time in his career from a strong counter left-hand midway through the second round.

 

Williams, who established his counter right early, performed well for the next two rounds in the first title fight between undefeated 154-pound champions since Floyd Mayweather démonté Canelo Alvarez en 2013.

 

But Charlo decked him again with a brutal right uppercut midway through the fifth round that sent Williams collapsing face-forward onto the canvas. Williams got up, but he was clearly in trouble. Charlo floored him seconds layer with a left hook, forcing referee Wayne Hedgepath to instantly halt the contest at 2:06.

 

Charlo was ahead with scores of 38-37 on the three scorecards entering the fifth round in a highly skilled matchup between two fighters in their prime.

 

Afterward a fracas broke out in the ring between the fighters and their cornermen after Charlo wouldn’t acknowledge Williams’ congratulatory hand shake. Williams immediately stormed from the ring. The fans booed Charlo loudly throughout his post-fight interview with SHOWTIME reporter Jim Gray.

 

“I did what I was supposed to do, Je suis très heureux de ma performance, I listened to my trainer,’’ said Charlo, the identical twin brother of WBC 154-pound titlist Jermell Charlo. “I trained hard for this fight, I stayed in the gym the whole time.

 

“No matter what, people have to respect my accomplishments. He just wasn’t on my level. I told everyone what I was going to do since the fight was announced. je savais que j'allais gagner; he was badly hurt after the knockdown.

“I just want to tell Julian Williams, Je suis désolé. Leading up to this fight Julian talked, and I held it in. I did what I had to do to become the champion of the world and I deserve my respect. He disrespected me all the way up to the fight. I made the fight happen; I gave the fans what they wanted to see. I stayed at 154 livres, although I do want to move up to 160, just to fight someone the world said I couldn’t beat.

 

“I said I don’t want your congratulations; I want your apology. I don’t care what they say, je l'ai assommé. No matter what they say about me I’m going to continue to work hard. I did what my trainer told me to do, I stayed in there and bang the shot came home. I’m never disrespected this dude, never, until I knocked him out.

 

"Oui, I want to unify. I want to prove I’m the best junior middleweight in the world, none of them are on my level.

Williams offered no excuses. “Je viens de me attrapé,’ he said. “I was fine after the second round and kept going. He just caught me. He wasn’t too big. He just caught me.

“I didn’t care about any of that [post-fight drama]. I just wanted to win.”

 

Charlo-Williams was the fourth 154-pound title fight on SHOWTIME in 2016.

In one off the fights streamed earlier Samedi on FACEBOOK LIVE, Sergey Lipinets (11-0, 9 KOs) assommé Lenny Zappavigna(35-3, 25 KOs) to become the mandatory challenger for the IBF Junior Welterweight World Title.

 

After flooring Zappavigna midway through the fourth, Lipinets finished off the Australian with an overhand right in the eighth in a closely contested and bloody affair.

 

"Oui, this was my toughest fight, it’s bloody and rugged but no problem for me,’’ Lipinets said. “This was an eliminator and now I want my next fight to be for the world championship. Julius Indogo has the IBF title and now I’m the mandatory.

“I’m very happy with my performance. We’ve worked on adjusting during fights and that worked very well for me ce soir. I was hoping for the knockout but my trainer said to keep working and the stoppage will come.”

“I left it all in the ring,’’ Zappavigna said. “I fought my heart out and I came here to give it my best. Even though I’m disappointed with the loss, I am at peace with the result because I know I couldn’t have done anything else.

“I wish Sergey all the best in his world title fight.

“I know my fans are behind me and I’m bringing pride back to Australia. I know I was in control of the fight, but my Australian ‘white line feverkicked in and I tried to take his head off.”

In the opening bout on Facebook Live, talented undefeated middleweight Erickson Lubin (17-0, 12 KOs) knocked out previously once-beaten Juan Ubaldo Cabrera (23-2, 15 KOs) à 2:09 du second tour.

 

“He was a little awkward in the first round,’’ Erickson said. “I set him up with my jab and I knew I hurt him in the second. That’s when I knew it was time for him to go.

 

I think that fight definitely proves that I’m in the discussion as one of the top up and comers in the sport, but I don’t feel any pressure. I’m back in the gym lundi.

 

I want to be undisputed champion. I want all of the belts. Give me the Charlos, Julian Williams, n'importe lequel d'entre eux.

 

I’ll take whoever is in front of me next, but those names and put them in bold letters and you know I’ll be front and center for that Charlo-Williams fight.

 

The SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING doubleheader and SHOWTIME INTERNATIONAL telecast will re-air on Monday, Décembre. 12, 10 p.m. ET / PT sur Showtime EXTREME. The fights were promoted by Ringstar Sports and TGB Promotions and sponsored by Corona.

LOS ANGELES (Décembre 7, 2016) – Four of the top trainers in the sport, Freddie Roach, Robert Garcia, Ronnie Shields et Stephen Edwards met with media in Los Angeles to discuss their fightersrespective showdowns this Saturday, Décembre 10 from Galen Center at USC and live on AFFICHER L'HEURE®.
Samedi event is headlined by featherweight world champion Jésus Cuellardefending againstformer three-division world champion Abner Mares in a long-awaited showdown. Le Showtime Championship Boxing® télédiffusion commence à 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT with junior middleweight world champion Jermall Charlo and top-rated challenger Julian Williams in a world championship battle of undefeated rising stars in their prime.

Gardon (Cuellar), Garcia (Mères), Shields (Charlo) et Edwards (Williams) spoke to media at the Sheraton Los Angeles Downtown about their fighters and the highly anticipated matchups taking place this weekend in Los Angeles.
Voici ce que les participants avaient à dire mercredi:
Freddie Roach, Cuellar’s Trainer
How has your relationship with Cuellar developed?
I’ve gotten to know Cuellar quite well and have spent a lot of time with him. I think he’s learned a lot and I think he’ll carry that into the fight with him. He’s prepared and he won’t go out there just trying to look for a knockout. He’s a good puncher and everybody thinks he’s looking for the KO, but I told him to just let it happen. If you force it, it will never happen.
He’s going in there with a good opponent, an experienced fighter with a lot of good fights under his belt. He’s caught punches before and knows how to handle it. And if [Mères] moves, we’ll cut the ring off to make it smaller and set traps for him. If he tries to come forward, I want my guy to show his power either way and show him who the boss is.
On Garcia having the upper hand by having trained Cuellar:
I don’t really know how their relationship is and I don’t really know how long they’ve been together. I heard that during his training camps that he had gone to Florida for another trainer so I don’t know how great they’re really getting along but again, I don’t really worry about the other side so much. I know my guy is ready for a hard 12-round fight.
He does know my fighter well and I’ve tried to improve my fighter a lot and he said he never learned anything over there, but every day he learns in my gym. I just don’t think he’s the same guy that Robert is used to seeing and I think he’s improved a lot in a lot of different areas and I think he’ll show it in the fight.
What are you predicting for Cuellar?
I’m predicting better angles, not so wide with the punches, not so big with them. He goes out there looking for knockouts so many times and I’ve told him to just let it happen. He needs to get behind his jab a little bit. He has a good jab but he just doesn’t throw it that much because he’s always looking for the home run. Si, we’ve worked a lot on not only looking for the home run right away and going out there and breaking this guy down.
What’s the game plan if Abner comes to box?
I think he’s going to try to box us, ben oui, so we have to put pressure on him and we have to keep him close to the ropes. We have to set traps on the ropes and into the corners and we’re well prepared for that. We did prepare for [Mères] coming at us also, trying to maybe catch him early and I want Cuellar to show his power right away because I think if we can get him to box and move, he can’t win the fight by moving away.
ROBERT GARCIA, Mères’ Entraîneur
Cuellar is very strong and hits really hard. He has tremendous power. He’s very strong physically and mentally. He has that warrior mentality that just goes out there looking for the knockout.
I don’t have the secret recipe. It’s just that I know Abner is in great shape and we’ve had a year to prepare for this fight. And I know Cuellar very well. I know how he thinks and that could be a plus. I think facing a guy I used to train can be an advantage for us.
I know Jesus and how he is in locker room. And I can use that against him. Even though he’s with a great trainer in Freddie Roach, he has never walked out to the arena with him. I did it for five fights and for two years. But I don’t think I need those advantages.
If Abner does everything that he needs to do, there’s no doubt he will walk out of there a world champion. But this is my first fight with him so I don’t know if during the fight he will forget all I told him, and do what he is used to doing. He’s picked up a lot of good things from me, so I think he’ll stick to the game plan.
What has impressed you most about Abner this camp?
For a full year training and having dates and then the dates being cancelled, postponed, changed. It’s been four dates. They were scheduled to fight in March, then June. Then we were supposed to fight in October and now December. He never showed any signs of frustration or being upset. He always thought like I think: Things happen for a reason and this just gives us more time to work together and to learn from each other. Si, I think it was the best thing that happened.
Did you always have aspirations of becoming a trainer?
Never did. It’s funny how it happened. When I had my last fight at 26, my plans were to forget about boxing. I hated boxing. The last couple of fights I had I didn’t want to be in the ring. I didn’t want to have anything to do with it. But then I started to come around my Dad’s gym in Oxnard (Calif.). The thing that I loved the most was the travelbecause I traveled around the world during the amateurs and the pros. My first three fights were in Japan. But we didn’t enjoy it. I was always trying to make weight. And I never got to enjoy it. But I never thought I’d be in this position to train nine world champions.
I will have my 10e champion du monde, and I’m hoping it’s ce samedi. I’m very confident about it. One day I’ll have 15 or maybe 20, but that’s one thing I hate to do is predict it. But I do feel really good we can pull this one off.
Who is your pick for Trainer of the Year?
Manny Robles had two world champions and has two really good fighters. And Freddie Roach had a great year with Pacquiao. Si, I think they would be good picks. I believe Manny Robles deserves it.
Have you gotten the credit you are due?
It’s mostly politics and who you know. Will I get it again? I really don’t care. My fighters are happy and my family is happy. I get the love from you reporters and the fans. And that’s all that’s important to me and my team.
Ronnie Shields, Entraîneur de Charlo
All I hear is Charlo is scared. Jermall isn’t scared to fight anyone. Why would a guy who is champion of the world be scared of fighting [Williams]?
Jermall and Julian ran into each other a few times as amateurs, but not as professionals. I think they both realized they would meet in the ring and that it would happen.
I’m not really surprised this fight happened this early in their careers, because both guys are great fighters. And they are both deserving to be at the top.
On Charlo calling Williams anundefeated nobody”:
That’s just Jermall [rire]. All fighters are confident in their ability, and he just feels like he’s the better guy. And I’m glad he feels that way, because I don’t have to do anything extra to motivate him. He’s highly motivated, and ready to go.
How do you think this fight will end?
I don’t look at the ends, I only look at the beginnings. If you go in looking to knock the guy out in the early rounds and don’t get it, what’s going to happen in the later rounds? I think I’ve got Jermall to the point where he can go 12 rounds with anyone. He doesn’t care who it is.
What does Julian Williams do well?
I think Julian does a lot of things well. You have to have the simple fundamentals in boxing, which I think carries a lot of fighters a long way. Vous devez avoir un bon jab, combination of punches. And Jermall has the same thing. I think it will come down to who has the biggest will to win this fight. My guy has a huge will to win this fight.
What is underrated about Jermall that fight fans might now know?
I think that a lot of people don’t know how smart an individual he is. En dehors de l'anneau, and inside of the ring. He’s so different than he appears in public. He’s a really quiet guy and does not really boast a lot.
These days you see a lot of fighters using different guys, and not just the same guys [in terms of trainers]. I think a lot of fighters are trusting different people, and not just the same guy.
I’ve known Jermall since he was eight-years-old and I know what type of guy he is, and what his will is. I just don’t see anybody beating him. He just has such a strong will to win, and he does everything right. And that’s hard to say about the other guy.
This could be Jermall’s last fight at 154 livres. But he will make weight vendredi. If there was a chance he wasn’t going to make weight, I wouldn’t let him [fight at 154 livres] because I realize it’s too dangerous, and I’m not going to take that chance with my guys.
STEPHEN EDWARDS, Williams’ Entraîneur
We were ready for this fight, maybe a year and a half ago but unfortunately it took a bit longer than we thought to come into fruition. But he’s had a great camp. I know Jermall is a formidable fighter, he has a great coach and I’m expecting a great fight. I think it’s really, really difficult to beat an undefeated fighter that does not know how to lose.
We have a big task in front of us but he’ll be the third undefeated guy that Julian has fought. Si, he’s used to being up under that kind of stress.
On knowing Julian’s past life on the streets:
I knew him but I wasn’t training him at the time. Ironiquement, I knew Julian in 2007 and I used to work at the shelter that he was at. Malheureusement, due to the circumstances I didn’t meet him until I was having a fight party for the Floyd Mayweather-Ricky Hatton fight and we became pretty good friends and then later I started training him in 2010. When he came to the party I knew who he was from attending some of his amateur fights and when he was ready to turn pro, he asked me for some help. We have a relationship outside of boxing and then I started working with him and here we are.
Did he open up to you about his story shortly after you knew him?
I kind of already knew it so it wasn’t a revelation. It kind of happened organically, vous savez, as you get to know somebody and you’re around them, I kind of started to learn different things about him and we started talking more about it. En fait, a lot of things came up through boxing because I would ask him ‘How do you not win Nationals as good as you are?’ I thought he was the best amateur in the city. je dirais: ‘How long do you run?’ and ‘What kind of diet do you do?’ and he would say ‘I just lose weight by taking laxatives.I thought he was killing himself and that’s when I wanted to take him on in training. I said man, if he was 77-10 as an amateur taking laxatives to lose weight, he is ruining the lining of his stomach and decreasing his energy level too. Si, I said to myself ‘this kid has a big upside.
If I could just get him to buy into a diet, buy into doing things the right way, he could be a world champion. I think that I believed that he was going to be a world champion before he did. That’s how the stories started to unravel about his homelessness, that he didn’t have anything to eat, that he would work at McDonalds and other places and that would be his diet.
This is a national level fighter, Non classé. 3 in the country on a McDonald’s diet. So I always just kept in the back of my mind that he had an unbelievable upside and regardless of what was going on or what people were saying, I trust my eyes more than I trust anybody else’s and that’s what I believe.
How much do you think his past goes into the way he fights?
I definitely think that he has a hint of anger. He’s a little introverted and I’m very similar in certain things that we don’t talk about. Getting him ready for the Hugo Centenofight when his mom passed away, we never talked about it. It’s the weirdest thing in the world. I hugged him, I told him I would help him with the funeral arrangements because he’s a young guy and he didn’t know how to handle those things.
What can you say about Jermall?
He’s not better than Julian at anything. I’m not trying to concede anything. He doesn’t punch harder, he’s not faster and you all can quote me when I say he’s not better than him at nothing. And determination. If it comes down to a point of who’s really willing to lose his life in the ring, I already know who’s willing to lose his life in the ring. But he’s not better at him at anything. Nothing. Not just determination, Julian is just the more skilled fighter and he has more on the inside and he’s going to show everyone Samedi nuit.”

On his upcoming title elimination bout against Lenny Zappavigna
Zappavigna is a very well-rounded fighter with a lot of experience and I know he’s coming to rip my head off. There is no doubt about it, this fight is going to be tough. We both have a lot at stake because this is a title elimination bout. This will be war and everyone should be tuning in.
Sur son récent camp d'entraînement…
It’s been a really productive training camp. My coach, Buddy McGirt has studied a lot of tape on Zappavigna and we have a great game plan intact. We are finalizing our last days of camp and we will be ready to go. I’m well prepared for this fight.
On his rapid rise toward the top of the junior welterweight division
I’ve worked really hard and fought a lot of tough opponents to get in this position. In my first fight as a professional boxer, I fought a guy with over 30 combats, so nothing has come easy for me. I’ve earned my right to be here.
On the possible opportunities that will come with a victory
A victory against Zappavigna will put me in position to fight for a world title. The opportunities are endless from then on. Unification bouts, fighting all the champions, those are the type of fights I’m looking forward too. My desire to be the best is all I think about.
On fighting December 10e in Los Angeles in front of hometown fans
Since I’ve moved to America I’ve made a lot of friends in Los Angeles, especially in the Russian community. Anytime your hometown fans can see you fight on a mass scale is a beautiful thing. I have a lot of friends and fans that will be in attendance. I believe my fighting style is pleasing to the eyes of all fans. I’m always looking to knock out my opponent. I know one thingthe Mexican fans will love watching me go to battle. It’s time to take my career to the next level and it starts on Saturday, Décembre 10 in Los Angeles.
