Efter kampen talte Spence til SHOWTIME Sports reporter Jim Gray og var hurtig til at give kredit til sin modstander. ”Jeg vil gerne takke Lamont,"Sagde han. ”En masse fyre skruet ned kampen, og han tog det som en rigtig kriger, og jeg vil rose ham for det. He’s a tough fighter. He’s willing to die in there.” Click HER at se interviewet højdepunkt.

 

 

 

Trods tjene sejren i kommanderende mode, Spence stadig mener, at han har plads til at forbedre. ”Jeg kan stadig forbedre en masse på min forsvar,”Sagde den ubesejrede verdensmester. ”Jeg skal bare holde perfektionere mine færdigheder og holde skrider. Du kommer til at se en bedre Errol Spence næste gang jeg får i ringen.

 

 

 

”Alle ved, jeg har ventet på’Some Time’Thurman,”Sagde Spence, ser frem til en mulig forening match med WBC og WBA Weltervægt verdensmester Keith Thurman. ”Siden jeg var 15-0 I’ve been calling this guy out and he keeps making excuses. Lad os få det på. Han har to af remmene og vi begge har store navne. Det er en nem kamp at gøre, og jeg vil have det.”

 

 

 

Peterson, der kæmpede tappert mod den yngre Spence, respekteret afgørelsen af ​​sin træner til at stoppe kampen, ”Hvis han beder mig om at bekæmpe en million mennesker, Jeg vil. Hvis han beder mig om at stoppe. Jeg vil stoppe. Jeg vil aldrig spørgsmålstegn ved hans beslutning. Jeg ved, at han har mine bedste interesser på hjerte.”

 

 

 

”Det var virkelig hårdt, men hvis du kender Lamont, du ved, at han ikke ville give op,”Sagde træner Barry Hunter. ”Jeg var nødt til at stoppe det. Ved slutningen af ​​dagen, dette er min søn lige her. Der er ikke noget mere værdifuldt end hans velbefindende. Hvis det drejer sig om ham eller vinde, Jeg bryde boldens. Jeg holder af 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-main event af SHOWTIME fjersynsudsendelse. Dommerne scorede kampen 114-113, 113-114 og 115-112.

”Det var en hård kamp, han er en tidligere verdensmester for en grund,”Påske fortalte Grå. ”Vi gjorde det svært at forsøge at imødegå slag. Han var ikke kaste meget, og det gjorde det svært for mig at jage denne fyr rundt.

 

 

 

“Jeg kunne ikke få knockout, men vi fik den sejr, og det er alt, der betyder noget. Jeg vidste, at han skulle til at køre, når han følte min magt. Han ville bare gribe og holde hele kampen.”

 

 

 

Ser frem til, Påske gjorde hans hensigter klart som han søger forening anfald i den nærmeste fremtid, ”Jeg ønsker at bekæmpe mestre og forene disse bælter. Kampe som disse er ikke i min slagplan. Jeg er klar til Mikey Garcia og Jorge Linares at underskrive kontrakten.”

 

 

 

En utilfreds Fortuna talte også til grå, ”Offentligheden ved, hvad der skete her. De buhet fordi de ved, at jeg har vundet denne kamp.

 

 

 

”Hvis han er en mand lad os kæmpe igen ved 135-pounds,”Sagde Fortuna, who failed to make weight on two attempts Fredag, hvilket betød, at påsken bælte ikke ville være på linje. ”Jeg vil helt sikkert gøre vægten. Jeg ikke give mig selv tid nok til at træne.”

 

 

 

Unbeaten light heavyweight contender Marcus Browne (21-0, 16 KOS) lavet hurtig arbejde 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 af første runde. Kæmper for sin 12th time at the Barclays Center, den 27 årige Staten Island indfødte holdt sin fejlfrit rekord intakt ved at udnytte sin stærke venstre hånd på overmatched Ntetu.

 

 

 

Browne etableret sin dominans fra starten, landing en ren overhånd venstre, der faldt Ntetu halvvejs gennem runde. Montreal, Québec indfødte var aldrig i stand til at genvinde sine fødder og befandt sig i en krog mod tovene kun tredive sekunder senere. En byge af kraftige kombinationer landede på forsvarsløse Ntetu forlod dommeren med lidt indstilling men at stoppe kampen med 45 sekunder tilbage af runde nummer et.

 

 

 

“Vi arbejdede for denne sejr. Han gik ind i en sikker skud og jeg fik ham til at betale,”Sagde Browne. ”The overhånd venstre fangede ham, og det var begyndelsen til enden for ham. Jeg vidste, at han kom til skade.

 

 

 

“Jeg har brug for en verden titel skud. Jeg er klar til at tage på en hvilken som helst af de mestre. Jeg har ikke nogen præferencer. Jeg er glad for jeg sat sammen en anden stor præstation her på Barclays Centre. Jeg har tænkt mig at holde bedre, indtil jeg virkelig blevet hr. Barclays Center.”

 

 

 

kredit, der flyttede op til lyset sværvægter division for denne kamp, havde svært ved at håndtere Browne kombination af hastighed og kraft på vej til den anden tabet af sin professionelle karriere.

 

 

 

"[Browne] er meget eksplosiv, tillykke til ham,” Said Ntetu. “Han er hurtigt, han er smart og jeg havde ikke forventet ham til at være, at eksplosive. Han fik mig med sin højre krog og en lige venstre.

 

 

 

”Jeg var i nok form til at kæmpe for 10 runder. Det er ikke min vægtklasse, men jeg ønsker ikke at komme med undskyldninger.”

 

 

 

Ved indledningen anfald af den SHOWTIME Boksning prelims, ubesejret Adam Kownacki (17-0, 14 KOS) delivered a brutal knockout of Iago Kiladze (26-2, 18 KOS) på 2:08 of the sixth round of their heavyweight matchup. Kownacki, født i Lomza, Polen, men kæmper ud af Brooklyn, New York, nydt støtte fra sin hjemby crowd som han støt bar Kiladze ned.

 

 

 

Kownacki var den mere aggressive og præcise af de to kæmpere, landing 43 procent af hans magt slag og 35 procent af hans samlede slag, sammenlignet med blot 30 procent og 18 procent, henholdsvis, til Kiladze. På trods af en blodig næse, der Kownacki lidt i første runde, den polske sværvægter begyndte at hælde det på og dæk Kiladze med en serie af uppercuts og one-to kombinationer i fjerde runde. Den actionfyldte anfald ophørte når Kownacki forbundet på en kombination af to uppercuts og en højre hånd, der sendte Kiladze på ryggen i det sidste minut af den sjette runde. Efter en bedøvet Kiladze vendte tilbage til hans fødder, dommeren Shada Murdaugh kaldte kampen på forslag af ringside læge.

 

 

 

“Jeg er så taknemmelig for alle mine polske fans, der kommer ud og give mig den ekstra støtte”, sagde Kownacki, der kæmpede foran hundredvis af hans landsmænd. ”Jeg har tænkt mig at fortsætte med at kæmpe for fans og give alle en stor udstilling.

 

 

 

“Jeg tror, ​​jeg gjorde kampen meget hårdere, end jeg burde have. Det er en anden lærerig oplevelse, og jeg fik den sejr. Det er alt, der betyder noget.”

ERROL Spence JR.
“Denne kamp betyder alt for mig. 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 kan lide at kæmpe. 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 træner
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, Formand for 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 nat ved 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, Executive Vice President & 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 fyre. 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 fyre. 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 & Underholdning
I’m really excited about Lørdag nat. 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.
