What the fighters, trainers and executives said Dydd Iau:

 

JULIO CESAR CHAVEZ JR., Cyn Bencampwr y Byd

“I had a great training camp. I feel better than ever. I am ready for the fight.

 

“I know that this is a new weight class for me. I realize that Fonfara is very tough and bigger than me, but I am up for the challenge.

 

“I have worked on my boxing during my one year off, and I am very excited and motivated to get back in the ring.

 

“I have worked so hard for this fight because I am fighting in a new weight class. I must punch harder, so I have focused on getting stronger during this training camp.

 

“I have a great chin, I know how to take punches and my conditioning is great. A lot of fighters can take a punch, but I can take multiple punches and not be hurt.

 

“I think that Andrzej Fonfara is one of the best fighters in the light heavyweight division. Inside of boxing, everyone knows who Fonfara is. He knocked down one of the best boxers in the world in Adonis Stevenson.

 

“Fonfara is disciplined in the ring, but he doesn’t vary his punches.

 

“I understand that my dad didn’t want me to take this fight. I had bigger names I could’ve fought, but I think that Fonfara is a great challenge for me and I like the challenge.

 

“I would like to thank SHOWTIME for making this fight happen.”

 

Andrzej Fonfara, Challenger Teitl y Byd

“I’m prepared very well and I’m ready for this fight. It’s been a great camp like always. I train hard for each fight. I’m a tough boxer who is feeling great. The weight is good and everything is perfect.

 

“I must put everything into Dydd Sadwrn night and I will win the fight.

 

“I must look even better than I did against Stevenson. Everyone said I looked good, but I lost the fight. I didn’t want congratulations because I did not win the fight. But this time I will win the fight. I’m ready for a decision or for a knockout.

 

“I’m ready with a couple of plans. I don’t want to run around the ring, I want to fight tough. I’m going to use my jab and my right hand, which is my best punch.

 

“I’m not worried about what his father said about not fighting me. Chavez Jr. wants to fight and I will show him that his father was right.

 

“It doesn’t matter how I win, I want to win this fight and get my rematch with Adonis Stevenson.

 

“Chavez Jr. yn ymladdwr gwych. He uses a lot of combinations and has a powerful punch that I must be ready for. I want to show the whole world how good I am when I win this fight ar ddydd Sadwrn.

 

“If I get the chance, Rydw i'n mynd i guro ef allan. It’s boxing so you never know what will happen. I want to box round-by-round and win this fight.

 

“I lost the fight with Stevenson but I showed that I was a good boxer. I’m a much smarter fighter now because of that experience. That was a fight at the top championship level.

 

“It doesn’t matter what Chavez Jr. says at a press conference, we’ll be in the ring Dydd Sadwrnand everything will happen there.

 

“Fan’s can expect heavy punches, knockdowns and a great fight.”

 

AMIR LOVE, Diguro Super Ysgafn Contender

“I’m confident going into this fight because of how I train. I have put my heart and soul into this sport since I moved to Florida three years ago. I left everything behind to better myself.

 

“I’m going to stay smart and composed in there and do everything I can to get the win.

 

“I don’t feel like I need the knockout to come away with a successful fight. Ond, you better believe that if there is an opportunity to knock him out, then I will take advantage of it.

 

“Yn 2015, Rwyf am i ddod yn bencampwr y byd. This is my breakout year. A lot of people have been buzzing about me. I want to become the WBC world champion, that’s what I’m heading for.

 

“Rwy'n gwybod ei fod yn [Castell] a good opponent, he’s got a great resume, and he’s coming to fight. He has a great record, so that alone shows what he’s capable of. O'r fath Fel Dydd Sadwrn night may the better man win.

 

“I’ve boxed styles like [ei] plenty of times, but you never know, he could come out different Dydd Sadwrnnos.

 

“I’m ready to put on a great show for the SHOWTIME audience.”

 

CASTILLO WALTER, Super Ysgafn Contender

“I’m coming here to fight. I can tell you one thing, Amir Imam made a big mistake by taking this fight.

 

“I’ve fought a lot of tough fighters; my two losses were by decisions where I feel I was robbed. I’ve fought better fighters than Amir has.

 

“O'r fath Fel Dydd Sadwrn, I’m going to announce to the whole world that Walter Castillo is here to stay and he’s going to be a world champion.”

SR JULIO CESAR CHAVEZ.

“Being in Los Angeles is like being in Mexico for me; I have had many great memories. I became the world champion for this first time here and my son also became the world champion for the first time here, hefyd.

 

“Julio definitely has a very difficult fight ahead of him.

 

“If I was Julio’s manager, I wouldn’t have taken this fight. Fonfara is a difficult and tough fighter.

 

“My son wants to fight fighters of quality and wants credibility in boxing.

 

“Julio has worked and trained very hard for this fight .He has the capability to win and we expect that it will go very well.”

 

JOE GOOSSEN, Chavez’ Hyfforddwr

“Julio has a window here the next five, six, seven years that he can capitalize on.

 

“I think he’s left the childish stuff behind, and we’re all guilty of being childish.

 

“I think that Julio has surprised his father with his determination heading into this fight.

He’s got a left hook to the liver that just sends a shock through your body.

 

“He’s not soft. He’s a real fighter. I have been around enough fighters to know that he’s a real fighter. Rhif un, he has the never-say- die attitude in there.

 

“We’re up against a very well-schooled, blue collar, workmanlike fighter in Fonfara.

 

“He is an athletic, improvisational fighter, in that you don’t know where everything’s coming from.

 

“I’ve watched a lot of Fonfara tape, and he pretty much repeats what he does, but he repeats it well.

 

“This is going to be a battle. You’ve got two contrasting styles and personalities.

 

“Julio has 51 fights under his belt. He’s no rookie and he comes from a great bloodline. (In the short time I’ve been with him, it has been) more of an association than a dictatorial effort between the two of us.

 

“Based on former camps, he’s never really extracted himself from comfortable surroundings and put himself in a position where he is completely isolated like he was in Lake Tahoe.”

 

SAM COLONNA, Fonfara’s Trainer

“Fonfara could turn it up whenever. He could be down on the scorecards and one punch he throws could change someone’s world. He’s proven in the past that he has power in both hands.

 

“The styles in this fight are perfect for each other. When people ask about the fight I say it could go either way, it depends on who catches the other first.

 

“I’m looking for Fonfara to dominate, but Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. is a warrior, he comes to fight, he knows how to go to the body like his father used to, so we’ve been working on all of these strategies.

 

“A knockout win would be a dream come true to me. That’s what I’ve been looking for all these years. Winning this huge fight would change everything for Fonfara and myself.

 

“This camp that Andrzej had was the best we’ve ever had. He worked hard, he had time to train and there’s no excuses.

 

“We’re coming to fight a war. Don’t forget that wars are won by strategy.

 

“People say to listen to your father. His father told him not to take this fight, but he took it anyway and that was a mistake.

 

“I see this fight not going past 10 rowndiau, with us getting the knockout.”

 

STACY MCKINLEY, Hyfforddwr Imam yn

“Amir has always trained very hard, but I did see a change in him in this training camp after the last fight. He has stepped up his training by two levels.

 

“He learned a lot about his fight against [Fidel Maldonado] under the bright SHOWTIME lights at the MGM Grand.

 

“Amir is always confident going into each fight, but he made a mistake in the Maldonado fight. He rolled his right hand and forgot about the left hand and was knocked down. He had to pay for his mistakes but it’s all a learning experience, he still has only 16 professional fights under his belt.

 

“Castillo has a great jab and good combinations. A guy like that throws a lot of punches, but there is a technique to breaking down a fighter like that.

 

“We can’t spend a lot of time on the ropes, and we must go after his body because his body is weak. Castillo is going to get knocked out ar ddydd Sadwrn.

 

“I think that Amir is going to open up a lot of eyes ar ddydd Sadwrn.”

Dyma beth Chavez Jr, Julio Cesar Chavez and Joe Goossen (hyfforddwr) roedd yn rhaid i ddweud Dydd Gwener yn y gampfa Los Angeles-ardal:

 

JULIO CESAR CHAVEZ JR., Cyn Bencampwr y Byd

“I am very focused going into this fight. I have changed a lot mentally this past year.

 

“I am fighting [Andrzej] Fonfara now because I like big opponents. I like the challenge of fighting good, hungry fighters. Just because Fonfara doesn’t have the name recognition of other fighters, it doesn’t make him an easy fighter. Mae'n anodd.

 

“I feel comfortable at light heavyweight. Any time that you can add a couple pounds, you feel better. Although I will be fighting at 175, I feel most comfortable at 168 fel paffiwr. Since I have had one year off, it was a better choice to fight at this weight so that I could see how my body feels.

 

“Since I have added a few pounds, I have become a more physical and stronger boxer. The light heavyweight division has very big and physical contenders.

 

“Joe [Goossen] is a great trainer. He is a great motivator to his fighters and makes them better. I have worked very hard with him for the 35 days we spent together in Lake Tahoe.

 

“When I was training with Freddie Roach, it was very different. I think Freddie is a great trainer, but Joe also has a lot of experience and we have made a connection together.

 

“I really liked training in Lake Tahoe. The altitude, y cylch, everything I needed was there. I felt very comfortable up there and I would like to come back there to train for a fight again.

 

“I promise a great fight, this is a very exciting fight. Fonfara isn’t an easy opponent, but he has never seen an opponent like me.”

 

 

SR JULIO CESAR CHAVEZ.

“I am here to support and be with my son. I try to give him good advice. I tell him to train and prepare hard, and fortunately he is doing that well.

 

“I think Joe [Goossen] is doing a great job, we are on the same page. We are all focused on him [Chavez Jr.] getting to the fight well prepared. This fight requires great preparation because he is going into the fight at a weight that’s higher than his normal weight and he is facing a very tough opponent.

 

“He must go in 100 percent to win this fight.

 

“I think there has been a 180 degree turn in his career. I see this as a positive because he can really develop his ability and looks very well prepared.

 

“I would’ve liked to have seen him take a tune up fight instead because of his long layoff; I particularly didn’t want this fight.

 

“Gorffennaf [Chavez Jr.] wants credibility in this sport and that’s why he made the decision to take this fight, even though it’s a dangerous decision. He must be very prepared for this fight.”

 

JOE GOOSSEN, Chavez Jr.s’ Hyfforddwr

“I’ve been asked over the years who the one fighter was that I would like to work and my answer was always Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

 

“I’ve always really admired his style. I had known him as a kid, his father is a legend. It had always seemed like a dream job for me, and out of nowhere I got it.

 

“Lake Tahoe was tremendous for training camp. You are isolated and it’s not an easy thing. When you aren’t training you are sitting in a hotel room. You are deprived the comforts of home, but it really gives you that concentration and dedication factor and I think that will interpret into some positive results.

 

“I matured over my years, once I had a kid and a family and I think the same has happened with Julio. Life becomes clearer when you put away the immaturity. You realize that you have a future and if you really want to access what’s available to you, then you are going to have to work hard and dedicate yourself to it.

 

“Going to Lake Tahoe and really working hard is a sign of maturity and I think that’s what Julio is going through right now. He really showed it by leaving his home and spending an extended period of time up there. To me that is a great indicator that he is mature, dedicated and taking this fight very seriously.

 

“Of course I believe Julio is ready to fight Fonfara. The fight was made before I even came on board, but that’s the challenge that I am presented with. You must figure out a good game plan and figure out what you’re up against.

 

“Just because Julio has been out a year doesn’t mean that it’s going to be a cake walk for Fonfara. We went up to Lake Tahoe with one thing in mind, and that’s winning this fight and that’s exactly what we’re going to do.”

UNDEFEATED 140-POUND CONTENDER AMIR IMAM TO FACE WALTER CASTILLO IN CHAVEZ-FONFARA CO-FEATURE APRIL 18 ON SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING®

Gadael sylw

Dydd Sadwrn, Ebrill 18, FYW ar Showtime® (10 p.m. A/7 p.m. PT)

From StubHub Center In Carson, Calif.

NEW YORK (Ebrill 8, 2015) – Top 10 ranked super lightweight contender Amir Rwyf (16-0, 14 Kos) will aim to move one step closer to a world title opportunity when he makes his second start of 2015 against fellow power-puncher Walter Castillo (25-2, 18 Kos) in the 10-round co-feature of Showtime PENCAMPWRIAETH BOCSIO ar Dydd Sadwrn, Ebrill 18, LIVE on Showtime (10 p.m. A/7 p.m. PT)

 

In the main event from StubHub Center yn Carson, Calif., Superstar Mecsicanaidd Julio Cesar Chavez(48-1-1, 32 Kos) faces exciting brawler Andrzej Fonfara (26-3, 15 Kos), of Chicago by way of Poland, mewn 12 rownd bout pwysau trwm ysgafn.

 

Mae un o ragolygon gyflymaf-codi bocsio yn, y 24-mlwydd-oed Imam wedi fwrw allan 14 o'i 16 professional opponents since turning pro in 2011. The Albany, N.Y., native is coming off a fifth-round TKO of Fidel Maldonado Jr., in a brawl on Jan. 17 on SHOWTIME that featured five total knockdowns. Mae gen i, currently ranked No. 4 in the WBA and No. 7 yn y Cyngor Llyfrau, touched the canvas for the first time in his career but bounced back and relied on his power to floor Maldonado a total of four times.

 

“I know Walter is a tough fighter, he comes forward and throws a lot of punches,” Dywedodd Imam. “But I will figure him out quickly once I get inside the ring. I’m working on a lot of different things for this training camp, lots of tricky moves that are going to excite the fans. It’s great to fight outdoors at StubHub Center and to showcase my talents on SHOWTIME. I’m here to entertain and prove I’m ready for that title shot.”

 

Castell (25-2, 18 Kos), o Managua, Nicaragua, has won nine straight and KO’d six of his last seven opponents. The 26-year-old has fought mostly in Nicaragua and the only blemishes on his record are a split-decision loss in his pro debut and a controversial 2008 split decision on the road against former world champ Vicente Mosquera yn Panama. Castell, who has knocked out his last four opponents inside of four rounds, will make his second start in the U.S. after winning his American debut via first round TKO last October.

 

“Rwy'n teimlo'n gyffrous iawn ar gyfer frwydr hon. I’ve been training hard for months now and can’t wait for the bell to ring,” Castillo said. “Where I’m from we have a history of great warriors like Alexis Arguello and Rosendo Alvarez and on Ebrill 18 I’m looking to moving one step closer to adding my name to that list. Imam may be undefeated but I’m ready for a war.”

“I had a hard life so yes, I am angry with him.” – Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr.

“I had all Mexico and the world at my feet at that time. But it still didn’t fill the void…So what was it that I looked for? The easiest and stupidest things…drugs and alcohol.” – Julio Cesar Chavez, Sr.

 

NEW YORK (Ebrill 7, 2015) –The Sports Emmy® Cyfres Arobryn POB MYNEDIAD returns to examine the life of Mexican superstar Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr., as he prepares to make his Showtime PENCAMPWRIAETH BOCSIO® debut against dangerous brawler Andrzej Fonfara ar Dydd Sadwrn, Ebrill 18, byw ar Showtime (10 p.m. A/ 7 p.m. PT) oddi wrth y StubHub Center yn Carson, Calif.

 

POB MYNEDIAD: Chavez perfformiadau cyntaf Dydd Gwener, Ebrill 10, yn union ar ôl y byw ShoBox: Y Genhedlaeth Newydd tripleheader at 10 p.m. A/PT.

 

POB MYNEDIAD: Chavez is written and reported by SHOWTIME Sports contributor Mark Kriegel. Author of acclaimed biographies “The Good Son: The Life of Ray ‘Boom Boom’ Mancini” and “Pistol: The Life of Pete Maravich,” Kriegel has long focused on the conflicts and complexities that beset fathers and sons in sports.

 

With unprecedented access to the young star–Mexico’s first and only middleweight world champion–and his famous father, POB MYNEDIADuncovers the stormy yet loving relationship between Junior and his legendary father.

 

No question remains unanswered in a series of interviews at Junior’s high-altitude camp in Lake Tahoe, where his father once trained. What was it like to grow up as the son of Mexico’s greatest fighter? What price does a fighter pay for drugs and alcohol? And what does it do to his family?

 

Only the ending remains in doubt: Is Junior being punished for the sins of his father, or is he doomed to repeat them?

 

“Fame can be a disease, like addiction,” says Kriegel. “And this family has battled both. Junior and Senior weren’t merely candid. They were confessional. A, Rwy'n credu, courageous, too.”

 

Gyda POB MYNEDIAD cameras entrenched in camp, viewers will meet three generations of Mexico’s most famous fighting family as the 29-year-old Junior navigates a crossroads of his career.

 

POB MYNEDIAD: CHAVEZ premieres on SHOWTIME with multiple encore presentations. POB MYNEDIAD will be available on SHOWTIME ON DEMAND®, Showtime UNRHYW ADEG® ac ar-lein ynSHO.com/Sports.

Adonis STEVENSON

 

“Yr wyf yn gweithio'n galed i fod yn gallu mynd am 12 rowndiau. Yr wyf yn ei ollwng ef ddwywaith. Nad oedd erioed wedi bod fwrw allan ac roeddwn yn gwybod byddai'n dod yn barod i ymladd.

 

“Dywedais Byddwn yn fodlon gyda knockout neu fynd y pellter i gael y fuddugoliaeth. Felly rwy'n hapus iawn gyda'r ffordd yr wyf yn ymladd heddiw a gyda'r canlyniad.

 

“Defnyddir Bika ei ben ychydig ac yn ceisio ffrwgwd, ond roeddwn yn gallu rheoli'r frwydr. Roeddwn i'n gwybod nad oedd newydd ddod i Ganada am hwyl, ond i ennill.

 

“Mae bod yn ymwneud â Hyrwyddwyr Bocsio Premier a ymladd ar CBS wedi bod yn brofiad gwych. Mae hyn yn wych ar gyfer bocsio ac rydym yn gobeithio mwy a bydd mwy o blant yn dechrau cymryd rhan yn y gamp.

 

“Cyn belled ag beth nesaf, 'N annhymerus' aros i weld beth Al (HAYMON) Mae gan i mi. Byddaf yn barod i fynd eto erbyn mis Mehefin neu fis Gorffennaf.”

 

Saki BULL

 

“Adonis haeddu ennill y frwydr hon. Ni allaf gymryd unrhyw beth i ffwrdd oddi wrtho. Ymladdodd yn dda iawn.

 

“Yr wyf yn cael eu dal gyda hawl a llithro y tro cyntaf i mi fynd i lawr. Pan oedd fy ddal gyda chwith a es i lawr yn ddiweddarach nad oedd yn wir yn effeithio arnaf bod llawer mewn gwirionedd. Mae'n y champ er ac ymladdodd ymladd gwych heddiw.

 

“Ymladd ar CBS wedi bod yn uchafbwynt anhygoel ar gyfer fy ngyrfa. Doeddwn i ddim yn cael y ennill, ond yr wyf yn rhoi ar frwydr gwych i'r cyhoedd weld.

 

“Am y tro, 'N annhymerus' mynd yn ôl adref ac yn mwynhau fy nheulu. Yna byddaf yn gweld am frwydr arall.”

 

Artur BETERBIEV

 

“Yn y frwydr hon roeddwn yn gallu dangos wirioneddol yr hyn rwy'n gallu a fy mhrofiad talu ar ei ganfed.

 

“Pan wyf yn gwylio ffilm o Campillo sylwais ei fod wedi gwneud llawer o redeg. Nid oeddwn yn ceisio bod yn yr ymosodwr. Fi jyst cadw at fy nghynllun gêm.

 

“Rwy'n hapus iawn i fod ar y llwyfan mawr ar CBS yn gynnar o'r fath yn fy ngyrfa broffesiynol. Daeth hyn i gyd at ei gilydd yn gyflym iawn ac rwy'n gobeithio bod yn ôl yn fuan.

 

“Rydym yn bwriadu ymladd eto ym mis Mai ac fe fyddaf yn gadael pwy bynnag fydd fy gwrthwynebydd mewn dwylo Duw.”

 

Gabriel Campillo

 

“Fi 'n sylweddol eisiau wthio Beterbiev i mewn i'r rowndiau hwyr frwydr hwn i weld sut y byddai'n ymdrin â hynny, ond nid oeddwn yn gallu cael ei wneud.

 

“Y dyrnu pwysicaf oedd y tro cyntaf iddo ddal mi yn un rownd. Ar ôl hynny ergyd nad oeddwn yn gallu adennill fy hun.

 

“Roeddwn wrth fy modd i gael y cyfle hwn i ymladd ar CBS. Mae'r cynhyrchiad PBC yn neis iawn i fod yn rhan o, ac rwy'n credu y bydd y gyfres yn gwneud llawer i helpu i dyfu y gamp.

 

“Fy cynllun ar gyfer yn awr yw i orffwys. Yna byddwn yn edrych eto ar y sefyllfa ac yn gweld am ymladd eto.”

 

JULIAN WILLIAMS

 

“Nid oedd Hernandez tanamcangyfrif am frwydr hon. Rydym yn astudio llawer o ffilm arno ac roedd yn syniad eithaf da o'r hyn y byddai'n dod i mewn i'r cylch heddiw.

 

“Roeddwn i'n meddwl bod fy pigiad ac mae fy mudiad oedd fy nau gryfderau mwyaf yn y frwydr hon. Torri oddi ar y cylch yn allweddol.

 

“Mae'r gyfres hon PBC a chael y ymladd ar rwydwaith mawr fel CBS yn anferth ar gyfer y gamp o bocsio. Mae'n wych i fynd i mewn cymaint o mwy o gartrefi, ac yr wyf yn gobeithio ei fod yn helpu i wneud y gamp yn fwy poblogaidd. Y gobaith yw hyn yn cyrraedd plant hynny nad ydynt yn gallu fforddio cebl premiwm ac yn helpu annog plant mwy ifanc i fynd i mewn i'r gamp.

 

“Dwi ddim yn siŵr beth nesaf. 'N annhymerus' aros am Al (HAYMON) i adael i mi wybod, ond rwy'n wir yn gobeithio am ergyd yn top 10 Diffoddwr cyn dros y flwyddyn.”

 

JOEY HERNANDEZ

 

“Yn ôl pob tebyg Williams yw'r ymladdwr gorau i mi ei wynebu hyd yn hyn. Nid yw'r Gŵr arbennig anoddaf, ond efe a ymladdodd ymladd smart iawn. Defnyddiodd ei uchder ac yn cyrraedd i gadw fi oddi ar fy pigiad ac yn aros allan o fy amrediad.

 

“Yn anffodus roedd rhaid i mi fynd gyda'r gorau i roi gyda'r gorau yn y frwydr hon. Pan gyrhaeddais y tu mewn roeddwn yn gallu cael fy gyda'r gorau off, ond allwn i ddim gwneud digon i gael y fuddugoliaeth.

 

“Roedd hyn yn frwydr gwych i'r cefnogwyr ac yn ymladd ar CBS Rhoddodd gyfle gwych i mor llawer mwy o bobl i weld ymladd hyn i mi.

 

“Rwy'n dal yn ifanc ar 30-mlwydd-oed. Rwy'n gwybod Byddaf yn ôl yn y cylch. Rwy'n gwneud hyn oherwydd yr wyf am i ac rwyf wrth fy modd, nid am fy mod angen.”

All of this is possible thanks to Adonis Stevenson. The undercard is also stacked.

“Mae gen i hanes arbennig gyda Vislan Dalkhaev. I ddechrau, efe a ddaeth yma ar argymhelliad Artur Beterbiev. Y nod gwreiddiol oedd helpu Artur i acclimate i Montreal ac roeddwn yn gwybod y byddai cael ffrind yma o gymorth.

Dinas Québec, QUEBEC (Ebrill 1, 2015) – During Dydd Mercher final press conference at Le Bonne Entente in Quebec City, both Adonis “Superman” Stevenson ac Sakio “Y Scorpion” Taurus promised a knockout when they meet in the main event of the debut presentation of Hyrwyddwyr Bocsio Premier (PBC) ar CBSTelevision Network this Saturday, Ebrill 4, yn 3 p.m. A/PT canol dydd.

 

The hard-hitting Stevenson (25-1, 21 Kos) will defend his light heavyweight world championship against former super middleweight world champion Bika (32-6-3, 21 Kos) in the main event from the Pepsi Coliseum yn Quebec City.

 

The case was the same with the co-main event fighters as both undefeated light heavyweight and two-time Russian Olympian Artur Beterbiev (7-0, 7 Kos) and former light heavyweight world champion Gabriel Campillo (25-6-1, 12 Kos) expected to win via KO dydd Sadwrn prynhawn. Campillo, sporting a Tom Brady jersey, even promised he would win in dramatic fashion like this year’s Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots.

 

Below are quotes from the fighters and trainers from Dydd Mercher cynhadledd i'r wasg:

 

Adonis STEVENSON:

“I know Sakio is going to try to take my title, but I’m prepared for that.

 

“I know he was a champion. I made the move from 168 i 175 pounds and it worked well for me. I expect him to bring his best at 175 bunnoedd. He’s a former champ so I’m preparing to face a champion.

 

“I’m looking for the KO because I’m from the Kronk Gym. Knockouts sell. But I can go 12 rowndiau, that’s not a problem. I train for 12 rowndiau.

 

“My trainer has given me a great plan. He knows Sakio Bika very well and we’ll see what happens in the ring.

 

“Bika is still going to have the same power moving up in weight. He should actually be stronger.

 

“I’m very focused because I know Bika is very dangerous. I know he’s going to come into the ring and try to give me trouble.

 

“I’m a knockout artist. I can do a lot in the ring, but first and foremost I’m a knockout artist.

 

“I’d love to unify the belts eventually, but I’ll let my manager Al Haymon take care of that.

 

“My mentor Emanuel Steward always told me that as soon as I enter the ring the knockout is what sells. I’ll definitely be going for the knockout dydd Sadwrn on CBS.”

 

“I’m ready to go toe-to-toe. Adonis Stevenson vs. Sakio Bika on CBS, baby.”

 

 

Saki BULL:

“To beat a great fighter you have to be your best. I’m looking to take the WBC title back home.

 

“I’ve fought everyone – I’ve never ducked an opponent – and I don’t know if he can handle the pressure.

 

“I feel more comfortable at 175 bunnoedd. I want to test the big boy [Stevenson] and I feel like I can do that. Ar ddydd Sadwrn we’ll see.

 

“He’s knocked people out, ond rydw i wedi erioed wedi cael ei fwrw allan. Ar ddydd Sadwrn I’ll be the one to knock him out.

 

“I’m very hungry to get a world title back. I trained very hard at light heavyweight to get a title back.

 

“I didn’t come here to Canada just to walk and look around. I came here to take this belt back home and I’m very confident I’m going to do that.

 

“Training camp went very well, we put in good work and now we’re here in Canada ready to shock the world.”

 

 

JAVAN “SUGAR” HILL:

“Training camp was very good as always. Nothing different, just hard work perfecting his boxing and the basic fundamentals. We’re looking for him to make a mistake and catch him.

 

“The way you prepare for an unorthodox fighter like Bika is to make sure your basics are sound. You have to have a good jab, you have to have good movement and you have to have ‘super power’ And I have “Superman.

 

“Emanuel also told me the knockout sells. It’s something that we both know and it’s something that is imbedded in us. We’re looking for the knockout on Ebrill 4. Sometimes I see things that Adonis is looking to do before he does it. So I’ll just be sitting there waiting for Adonis to catch Sakio Bika making a mistake and getting a knockout.

 

“I’m super proud to represent Kronk Gym. That’s why I wear my hat here. Kronk to me is like my family name and that’s what I live by. I was born into Kronk when I was a little kid going to a tournament with my uncle Emanuel and all I remember is the Kronk fighters winning. And that’s what I do now: ennill.

 

“Adonis is an artist, he’s a KO artist. Dwi'n rhagweld y bydd Dydd Sadwrn is a knockout on CBS.

 

“There’s been a lot of talk and now it’s time for action. Toe-to-toe on Ebrill 4. Peidiwch â'i golli.”

 

 

KEVIN CUNNINGHAM:

“Cawsom gwersyll hyfforddi gwych. Everyone was relaxed. We had great sparring.

 

“He was making 168 pretty easy, but stepping up he’s able to eat whatever he wants. The weight is good. We think he’s going to be good and strong at 175. It’s a good move for him.

 

“He’s never had any problems with power, so I think the extra weight and energy should be good for him at light heavyweight.

 

“All this talk about Stevenson fighting (Sergey) Kovalev has motivated him pretty good. I think it gave him a pretty good picture of how the business of boxing works. He realizes that when the bell rings he needs to do something about it and he’s motivated by that.

 

“I can’t say if Stevenson is overlooking him because I’m not around him enough. But I know the fans and media want to make the Kovalev fight. It was good for Bika to hear that because it motivated him. He knows he has an opportunity to do something about it. Ar ddydd Sadwrn afternoon he can change all that.

 

“If Stevenson does what he says he’s going to do – meet him in the center of the ring and go toe-to-toe – this is going to be a tremendous fight.

 

“If he comes to the center of the ring and fights and goes toe-to-toe then this fight won’t go the distance. If Stevenson comes to trade I think he gets knocked out. If he runs around the ring and boxes then it could be a different outcome.”

 

 

Artur BETERBIEV:

“I don’t think this is a big challenge for me. I’m ready to face the world champions and raise the bar higher. This is just another opponent for me.

 

“This is another step that will move me closer to facing the champions at 175 bunnoedd. I want to put on a solid fight and show that I’m one of the best fighters in this division.

 

“A knockout is never a goal for me. I’m trying to show my work and my dedication in the ring, but usually that’s what happens. Usually I finish with a knockout but that is not my main goal. My main goal is to box and show my skills.

 

“My motivation is to face the champions. That’s why I work so hard every day in the gym. I will get there soon.

 

“Why not face Kovalev? Rwy'n barod. When I turned professional my goal was to meet the champions. He’s a champion now and I’d like to face the champions.”

 

 

Gabriel Campillo:

“We started training Jan. 1 and camp has been very good. We’ve been working very hard and I think I’m in great condition for this fight.

 

“Beterbiev may not have a lot of professional experience, but he’s had a very long amateur career. So we know that he’s ready and is a good opponent for us. We’ll see how he handles things once we get past the 5fed, 6fed ac 7fed rowndiau.

 

“To get ready for a hard-hitter like Beterbiev required lots of conditioning training. We worked the neck and the chin a lot. We think we’ve got a great chance in the second half of this fight though considering Beterbiev hasn’t really been tested like that.

 

“As for a prediction, I’m going to knock Beterbiev out in the seventh round.”
