Nella sua prima difesa dal detronizzare Kell Brook su Showtime lo scorso maggio, Spence (23-0, 20 KO) out boxed un Peterson duro (35-4-1, 17 KO) dall'inizio alla fine, in mostra una vasta gamma di competenze, velocità e potenza. La lotta è stata interrotta prima dell'inizio dell'ottavo round, dopo allenatore Peterson, Barry Hunter, chiamato per l'arresto.

He’s a tough fighter. He’s willing to die in there.” Click QUI per vedere il momento clou intervista.

 

 

 

Nonostante guadagnando la vittoria nel comandare la moda, Spence crede ancora ha spazio per migliorare. “Posso ancora migliorare molto sulla mia difesa,”Ha detto il campione del mondo imbattuto. “Devo solo continuare a perfezionare le mie capacità e continuare a progredire. Stai andando a vedere una migliore Errol Spence prossima volta ricevo sul ring.

 

 

 

“Tutti sanno che ho aspettato su‘Some Time’Thurman,”, Ha detto Spence, guardare avanti ad una possibile corrispondenza unificazione con WBC e WBA campione del mondo welter Keith Thurman. "Sin da quando ero 15-0 I’ve been calling this guy out and he keeps making excuses. Facciamolo. Ha due delle cinghie e abbiamo entrambi hanno grandi nomi. E 'una lotta facile da fare e lo voglio.”

 

 

 

Peterson, che ha combattuto valorosamente contro il più giovane Spence, rispettato la decisione del suo allenatore per fermare la lotta, “Se mi chiede di combattere un milione di persone, Lo farò. Se mi chiede di smettere. mi fermerò. Non potrò mai mettere in discussione la sua decisione. So che ha i miei interessi a cuore “.

Combattimenti come queste non sono nel mio piano di gioco. Sono pronto per Mikey Garcia e Jorge Linares a firmare il contratto.”

 

 

 

Un scontento Fortuna ha parlato anche a Gray, “Il pubblico sa cosa è successo qui. Hanno fischiato perché sanno che ho vinto questa lotta.

 

 

 

“Se è un uomo cerchiamo di combattere di nuovo a 135-libbre,”Ha detto Fortuna, who failed to make weight on two attempts Venerdì, il che significava che la cintura di Pasqua non sarebbe in linea. “Io sicuramente fare il peso. Non ho dato me stesso abbastanza tempo per allenarsi.”

 

 

 

Unbeaten light heavyweight contender Marcus Browne (21-0, 16 KO) reso il lavoro veloce di Francy Ntetu (17-2, 4 KO) in azione Showtime Championship Boxing prelims, as he dropped and battered his opponent early to force referee Arthur Mercante to stop the bout at just 2:15 del primo turno.

“Ho bisogno di un colpo di titolo mondiale. Sono pronto ad affrontare qualsiasi dei campioni. Non ho alcuna preferenza. Sono contento di aver messo insieme un altro grande prestazione qui al Barclays Center. Ho intenzione di continuare a migliorare fino a quando ho davvero diventare Mr. Barclays Center “.

 

 

 

credito, che si è trasferito fino alla divisione dei pesi massimi leggeri per questa lotta, avuto un momento difficile trattare con la combinazione di Browne di velocità e potenza per la sua strada per la seconda sconfitta della sua carriera da professionista.

 

 

 

"[Browne] è molto esplosivo, Congratulazioni a lui,” detto Ntetu. “E 'veloce, lui è intelligente e non mi aspettavo che fosse quella esplosiva. Mi ha preso con il suo gancio destro e un sinistro dritto.

 

 

 

“Ero abbastanza in forma per lottare per 10 round. Questa non è la mia classe di peso, ma io non voglio cercare scuse.”

 

 

 

In attacco della SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING prelims apertura, imbattuto Adam Kownacki (17-0, 14 KO) delivered a brutal knockout of Iago Kiladze (26-2, 18 KO) a 2:08 of the sixth round of their heavyweight matchup. Kownacki, nato a Lomza, Polonia, ma combattimento da Brooklyn, New York, goduto del sostegno della sua città natale folla come lui costantemente indossava Kiladze giù.

ERROL SPENCE JR.
“Questa lotta significa tutto per me. 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. Mi piace combattere. 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 PASQUA
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 Gennaio 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, Trainer di Spence
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, Trainer di Peterson
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, Presidente di 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 il Sabato notte a 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 & Direttore Generale, 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 il Sabato.
This is a special fight. These are the best in the sport. They’re both top 10 ragazzi. 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 ragazzi. 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 & Divertimento
I’m really excited about Sabato notte. 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 il Sabato night at Barclays Center.
