Ντάνι Γκαρσία
On Keith Thurman being ringside on the Spike announcing crew…
“He will just get an up close and personal look at what will happen to him in March. I hope he’s paying attention.
“I am excited to give the Philly fans a great fight. This is an opportunity to give back and that is most important to me. I’ve been training really hard and I’m going to give 100 percent for my city.
“I am just going in the ring and be myself. Seek and destroy. I am taking this one round at a time. I’m looking to be smart and break him down. When the opportunity comes, I’m taking it and putting on a show.
“I am not looking past this fight. I have tunnel vision and have never looked past anyone. I know he is coming to win, but I am ready mentally and physically to get the job done.
“This is going to be a great night. It’s an exciting card from top to bottom. Young local fighters getting a chance to show their skills is great for the sport and great for Philadelphia.”
ANGEL GARCIA, Ντάνι Πατέρα & Προπονητής
“Thurman may be on the outside looking in Σάββατο, but he’s going to see what he has in store for him in March.
“Billy Briscoe (Βάργκας’ προπονητής) is another Philly guy like me and I know he’s going to try his best. But they’re fighting the champ and they know they have their hands full. He may think he knows our game plan but he really doesn’t.
“I’m excited for Danny to be fighting at home. It’s a great opportunity to give back. I’m expecting Danny to look great in the ring and get the win.”

ΦΙΛΑΔΕΛΦΕΙΑ (Νοέμβριος 9, 2016) – Αήττητος παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής Ντάνι “Swift” Γκαρσία talked about some of his favorite moments and biggest influences from his long career in advance of his Premier Πυγμαχία Τσάμπιονς επί Spike αναμέτρηση αυτό το Σάββατο against Colombia’s Σαμουήλ Βάργκας από το Κέντρο Πανεπιστημίου Temple του Liacouras στη Φιλαδέλφεια.

Here is what Garcia had to say when looking back at some moments from his career so far:
Q: What do you consider to be the best performance of your career?
Ντάνι Γκαρσία: The best performance of my career, Πιστεύω, was against Lucas Matthysse. I was the unified world champion, I was a 3-to-1 underdog, he was knocking everybody out. I don’t think one person in the world thought I’d win that fight, but I knew deep in my heart I was the better fighter.
Q: What’s your favorite punch in the ring?
DG: My favorite punch is actually my right hand, but for some reason the left hook knocks everybody out. So I don’t know, ένας. Whatever punch lands, I try to use all my punches and different weapons in different angles. I try to use each hand as the set-up punch for the next punch. So I don’t really have a favorite punch. A lot of people think it’s my left hook, I like the right hand better, but the left hook just knocks everybody out.
Q: Which opponent you fought hit you the hardest?
DG: The two strongest opponents I’ve fought with the best punching power were Kendall Holt and Lucas Matthysse. They kind of had the same kind of power. It was like a thumping shot, and when they hit you, you felt like “Ooh, this man can punch.”
Q: Who was the hardest opponent for you to hit in your career?
DG: The hardest opponent I had to hit was probably Lamont Peterson. He was moving a lot, he wasn’t trying to engage with me at all, was trying to use the ring a lot with lateral movement. He came with a good game plan.
Q: Who was the fastest opponent you’ve faced?
DG: Fastest fighter, hands down, Amir Khan. He is the fastest fighter I’ve ever fought.
Q: What was the best atmosphere you’ve ever fought in?
DG: Barclays Center is No. 1. I’d probably say the Zab Judah fight. We hold the gate (ρεκόρ), the most fans to go to Barclays for a boxing event. It was like a concert.
Q: When was the maddest your dad ever got at you during a fight?
DG: My dad is always mad. He’s happy sometimes, but when it’s fight time, he’s always mad. That’s all I can say.
Q: Are there any fighters you watched growing up who you style yourself after? Or are there any fighters out there who maybe remind you of yourself?
DG: I take a lot from different fighters. (Felix) Τρινιντάντ, I loved his left hook. Prince Naseem Hamed, I loved how he wore the animal print, and then I did that. Roy Jones Jr., Bernard Hopkins, those are fighters I looked up to. (Julio Cesar) Τσάβες, going to the body, that left hook to the body. I take a lot of things from other fighters’ arsenals and put it into my style. But I never try to be any other fighter. I try to be myself.
Q: When you meet him next March, where will Keith Thurman rank among the opponents you’ve faced in your career?
DG: Όπως είπα, I’ve fought 10 current or former world champions in my career. He’s just another guy, another champ I need to dethrone. That’s basically it.

Επιπλέον, $10 from each ticket sold has been donated and will provide 20 γεύματα ανά εισιτήριο για άτομα που έχουν ανάγκη.
Here is what the participants had to say Tuesday:
Ντάνι Γκαρσία
“Είναι υπέροχο να αγωνίζονται στο σπίτι. This is what Philadelphia needed. We’re a fight town. I feel like people don’t know that all over the world. We have a great history and a lot of world champions from here, and they’ve been kind of been overshadowed. It’s an honor to be able to bring a fight back to these fans.
“It’s very important to give back. I’m so happy to have the opportunity. With Thanksgiving and Christmas around the corner I’m sure we’ll be making a big impact. There are a lot of families in Philadelphia who really need it and I’m glad I can help.
“I’m very lucky to be where I am. It takes a lot of hard work, but you also need the right timing. My dad and I had a vision. We never gave up on that vision. We’ve been through so much in life, we didn’t want to stop till we reached our goals.
“The city of Philadelphia needs a champion. They need someone to give them a hometown show. There’s a lot of excitement with the Eagles and Sixers right now, and I’m going to give them another thing to cheer for.
“It’s a very short trip for me to the arena so I’m happy about that. I feel comfortable. I’m in my own backyard. We’re planning to make sure Vargas is very uncomfortable.
“I love seeing these young kids from Philadelphia on the card. I love giving them an opportunity to get fights in front of their hometown fans too. There are a lot of doors opening up for young fighters from Philadelphia and I love that I can be a part of it.
“I know Billy Briscoe (Βάργκας’ προπονητής) will have some tricks. We’re very familiar with each other and I know what kind of trainer he is. He’s never prepared to face someone like me.
“I’ve watched the tape on Vargas. He’s a gritty fighter. He’s definitely a tough guy who won’t give up. I have to be ready. I’m going to have to be prepared. I feel ready to go.
“I had to grow into 140-pounds before I started knocking people out. This will be my third fight at welterweight and I think I’m going to feel as good as I have in my career. That’s why we’re ready to take on the best.”
OMAR DOUGLAS
“This is just a task. I’ve been preparing for this moment all my life. Ever since I was eight-years-old. Not to take anything away from Fortuna, but he’s a gatekeeper in the division. I have to get through him to get to what I want.
“Camp has been camp. It’s rough at times but it’s part of the process. I embrace it all though. I love being in camp. I’m bored when I’m not at camp so I’m definitely happiest when I’m in the gym.
“My weight is on point and on target. We’re just slowing it down and getting ready to make sure I’m peaking on fight night.
“Being able to fight in Philadelphia means the world to me. This is where I started my boxing career. I’ve been coming up the highway from Delaware to fight since I was a kid. Now a win here can propel me to another level.
“Fortuna is where I want to be at. I want to get through him. I can’t look past him. I’m focused on Javier Fortuna and writing another chapter in my story.
“You can expect a very exciting fight on Νοέμβριος 12. Hopefully he’s everything that people claim he is. I know that I am and I’m definitely going to come out on top.”
ANGEL GARCIA, Ντάνι Πατέρα & Προπονητής
“There are people in this country who don’t have food. My parents were farmers when they came to this country. When I was a child I was hungry. I ran around with no shoes and I wore my brother’s clothes. The first thing Danny and I do when we get in the ring is say a prayer and bow our heads for the kids in the world with nothing to eat. I always told Danny and my family to appreciate whatever we have gotten. We’re using our position now to make a difference.
“Danny is completely ready for this fight. He’s healthy and on track to make weight. We’ll be in the ring on Νοέμβριος 12 and I think that if Samuel Vargas comes to fight and stands toe-to-toe with Danny, we’re going to end the night early.
“We’ve brought in a lot of young prospects and guys with more experience for Danny to spar. I try to mix it up on Danny and keep him 100 τοις εκατό έτοιμος. We can’t take anything away from Vargas though. I know Danny is a very talented fighter and he gives me what I want. He’s always learning.
“We don’t watch a lot of tape. My job is not to watch the opponent, it’s to train Danny Garcia. You can’t forget about what your fighter does well.
“These are big things for Danny. He’s the champion and he should be on exciting cards like this. We’re looking to keep building and building his career.
“We’re keeping Danny focused. He knows that he can’t underestimate anybody. We take every opponent very seriously. Ο 32 people that he fought before were taken just as seriously as Vargas. We don’t change anything or take anything away. I make sure his circle is tight and that camp is focused.
“I’m happy because headlining in Philadelphia is Danny’s dream. What makes Danny happy makes me happy. That’s what it’s about at the end of the day.”

The hard-charging, all-action Granados, who pulled a stunning upset of then-undefeated WBC No. 1 ranked super lightweight Amir Imam in a dominating performance last November on SHOWTIME, thrives in the underdog role and has a deceiving record – his four defeats, all via split or majority decision, have come against opponents with a cumulative record of 52-1.

Σάββατο, Μάρτιος 4 – SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING
Presented in association with Premier Boxing Champions

Undefeated welterweight world champions Keith Θέρμαν και Ντάνι Γκαρσίαhave been on a collision course for more than a year. Thurman has held a version of the WBA Welterweight World Championship since 2013 but announced his arrival in March 2015 with an emphatic win over Robert Guerrero. Thurman has since defended the title twice, including most recently against former world champion Shawn Porter in a potential Fight of the Year thriller in June on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on CBS. Γκαρσία, after conquering the 140-pound division, captured the WBC Welterweight World Championship with an impressive performance against Guerrero in January. Should Garcia defeat Samuel Vargas on Νοέμβριος. 12 σε έναν αγώνα χωρίς τίτλο, he and Thurman are set to meet in a marquee unification blockbuster between undefeated champions at the pinnacle of their careers. Γκαρσία εναντίον. Thurman will air live in Primetime on CBS or live on SHOWTIME.

Ντάνι Γκαρσία
“Το να είσαι σε θέση να συνεργαστείς με το Philabundance είναι κάτι τεράστιο. Στο τέλος της ημέρας, αυτό είναι όλο. Όταν είσαι τυχερός, η δουλειά σας είναι να δώσετε πίσω και να αλλάξετε τη ζωή κάποιου άλλου. Ανυπομονώ για μια υπέροχη βραδιά και μια μεγάλη προσέλευση.
“Όλοι έχουν περάσει δύσκολους καιρούς. Όλοι έχουν περάσει στιγμές όπου χρειάζονται επιπλέον βοήθεια. Θα κάνουμε μια μεγάλη διαφορά εκείνο το βράδυ και θα είναι για πολλούς ανθρώπους που το χρειάζονται πραγματικά.
“Θέλω να ευχαριστήσω την πόλη της Φιλαδέλφειας. Είμαι απλώς ενθουσιασμένος που παλεύω στο σπίτι. Αυτή η κάρτα θα επιτρέψει σε πολλούς μεγάλους ντόπιους μαχητές να βρίσκονται σε μια μεγάλη σκηνή.
“Δεν μπορώ να κοιτάξω τον Σαμουήλ Βάργκας και ξέρω ότι ο εκπαιδευτής του έχει ένα ζευγάρι στο μανίκι του. Ξέρω ότι πρόκειται να πολεμήσουν, αλλά ποτέ δεν θα υποτιμήσω κανέναν. Έχω μάθει τα μαθήματά μου για να γίνω πρωταθλητής που είμαι σήμερα.
“Ξέρω ότι ο Βάργκας ξέρει πώς να κερδίσει. Έχει κερδίσει πολλά στην καριέρα του. Θα πάω εκεί έξω και απλά θα πολεμήσω. Αν πάει η απόσταση, τότε το κάνει. Δεν μπορώ να τον υποτιμήσω. Θα κάνω μια υπέροχη παράσταση και θα κυριαρχήσω.
“Οι άνθρωποι ενεργούν όπως ο Keith Thurman έχει ένα ακρωτήριο σαν τον Superman και μπορεί να πετάξει. Θέλω οι άλλοι πρωταθλητές να πιστεύουν ότι είμαι ευάλωτος. Αυτοί είναι οι ευκολότεροι αγώνες μου. Πρέπει να ξεπεράσω αυτόν τον αγώνα για να φτάσω στον επόμενο.
“Νιώθω ότι το χρωστάω στους οπαδούς μου για να πολεμήσουν στη Φιλαδέλφεια. Την τελευταία φορά που αγωνίστηκα σε αυτόν τον χώρο ήταν σε μια κάρτα Bernard Hopkins και πήρα ένα μεγάλο νοκ-άουτ. Σκοπεύω να κάνω το ίδιο Νοέμβριος 12.
“Έχω μια καλή ομάδα γύρω μου. Δεν πρέπει να υπάρχουν περισπασμοί που οδηγούν σε αυτόν τον αγώνα. Όλοι οι άνθρωποι που αξίζουν να πάρουν εισιτήρια θα είναι εκεί και δεν θα με αποσπάσουν τίποτα. Είμαι 100 τοις εκατό επικεντρώθηκε σε αυτόν τον αγώνα.
“Είμαι στο σημείο της καριέρας μου όπου δουλεύω πιο έξυπνα και πιο σκληρά. Όπως Νοέμβριος 12 θέλουμε να δώσουμε στην πόλη της Φιλαδέλφειας μια νύχτα να θυμόμαστε. Δεν μπορώ να παραβλέψω αυτόν τον αγώνα, αλλά εγγυώμαι ότι πρόκειται να ενώσω τους τίτλους στο 147 λίρες σύντομα.”
SAMUEL VARGAS
“Είμαι πολύ ευλογημένος που βρίσκομαι εδώ σήμερα. Αυτός ο αγώνας θα μπορούσε να αλλάξει ολόκληρη τη ζωή μου. Οι ζωές της οικογένειάς μου. Ο Ντάνι είναι ένας μεγάλος μαχητής και πρέπει να τα δώσω όλα.
“Πρέπει να το εκμεταλλευτώ. Έχω μαζί μου τον καλύτερο εκπαιδευτή στον κόσμο και θα φροντίσουμε για τις επιχειρήσεις Νοέμβριος 12.
“Εγώ και ο εκπαιδευτής μου δουλεύω σε πολλά διαφορετικά στυλ. Μας αρέσει να το αλλάζουμε και να κρατάμε τους αντιπάλους να μαντέψουν. Μερικές φορές πιέζουμε και μερικές φορές παραμένουμε έξω. Μαθαίνω κάθε μέρα και κάνω προσαρμογές.
“Είμαι αουτσάιντερ και ήμουν όλη μου η ζωή. Υπάρχουν πολύ λίγες επιλογές για έναν Λατίνο μετανάστη μέχρι τον Καναδά. Κέρδισα τις πιθανότητες να τα καταφέρω εκεί και να έχω μια ζωή και μια οικογένεια.
“Είμαι άντρας με λίγο παραπάνω 10 ερασιτέχνες αγώνες και το έχω φτάσει μέχρι τώρα. Η Ντάνι Γκαρσία είναι η ευκαιρία μου. Πρέπει να κάνω το καλύτερο από αυτό και να τα δώσω ό, τι καλύτερο. Αυτά είναι τα πάντα για μένα.”
ΒΟΡΕΙΟ ΤΖΑΡΡΕΤ
“Έχω πάει στη Φιλαδέλφεια μερικές φορές και η πόλη με υποδέχτηκε. Θέλω απλώς να κάνω μια άλλη παράσταση. Αυτό θα με κάνει ένα βήμα πιο κοντά στο όνειρό μου να παλέψω για έναν τίτλο.
“Έχουμε δει μερικές από τις μάχες του αντιπάλου μου και είναι βετεράνος. Έχει πολλή δύναμη και καλό ρυθμό νοκ-άουτ για να το ακολουθήσει. Είναι αμήχανος και ψηλός. Εάν δεν μπείτε στην κορυφή του παιχνιδιού σας, μπορεί να σε κάνει να φαίνεται κακό. Ψάχνουμε να κάνουμε αυτό που κάνουμε πάντα.
“Έμαθα πολλά από τον τελευταίο μου αγώνα. Άνοιξε πολλές πόρτες για μένα, σαν να παλεύεις στην κάρτα Danny Garcia. Νιώθω σαν να λείπει το τμήμα. Είμαι ψηλός, lanky μαχητής με πολλή δύναμη και καλή ταχύτητα χεριών.
“Ο χρόνος μου είναι εδώ. Νιώθω ότι αυτή είναι η ευκαιρία μου να έρθω πιο κοντά στον αγώνα για έναν παγκόσμιο τίτλο. Ανυπομονώ να γίνω παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής.
“Θέλω να αντιμετωπίσω όλους τους 154 λίβρες. Δεν πατάμε κανέναν. Υπάρχουν τόσα πολλά ταλαντούχα μαχητικά στο τμήμα, αλλά πιστεύω ότι εγώ και η ομάδα μου εκπαιδεύομαι τόσο σκληρά και προετοιμαζόμαστε τόσο καλά ώστε είμαστε έτοιμοι να αντιμετωπίσουμε οποιοδήποτε από αυτά. Θα έρθει η ώρα και περιμένουμε.
“Αυτή είναι μια τεράστια ευκαιρία να βρεθείτε στην κάρτα Danny Garcia επειδή όλοι προσπαθούμε να φτάσουμε εκεί που βρίσκεται. Βεβαιωθείτε ότι παρακολουθείτε τους αγώνες μου, επειδή υπόσχομαι ότι θα κάνω κάτι αξέχαστο.”
OMAR DOUGLAS
“Ήθελα απλώς να πω ότι αυτή είναι η ευκαιρία μιας ζωής να πολεμήσω στη Φιλαδέλφεια όπου ξεκίνησε η καριέρα μου. Κέρδισα Χρυσά Γάντια της Πενσυλβανίας αρκετές φορές.
“Το να είσαι μαζί με έναν πρώην παγκόσμιο πρωταθλητή είναι καταπληκτικό. Θα εκμεταλλευτώ πλήρως αυτήν την ευκαιρία. Το περίμενα πολύ καιρό και αυτός είναι ο χρόνος μου.
“Ο Φορτούνα είναι ένας πολύ σίγουρος μαχητής. Του αρέσει να του δίνει όλους τους πρώτους γύρους. Θα μπω μέσα και θα χρησιμοποιήσω το τρύπημά μου και θα επενδύσω στο σώμα. Νομίζω ότι μπορούμε να έχουμε νωρίς το βράδυ.
“Πιστεύω ότι έχω το καλύτερο τρύπημα στην επιχείρηση. Πρέπει να τον κρατήσω μακριά με το τρύπημα και το κεφάλι. Παλεύω για πολύ καιρό και δεν έχω δει τίποτα.
“Νομίζω ότι βελτιώθηκα πολύ. Η μάχη με παιδιά με μία απώλεια και παγκόσμια κατάταξη παιδιών κατά τις τελευταίες μάχες ζευγών με βοήθησε. Η εμπιστοσύνη μου αυξάνεται σίγουρα κάθε μέρα.
“Μπορείτε να περιμένετε μια ευχάριστη απόδοση και νοκ-άουτ σε πλήθος.”
ANGEL GARCIA, Ντάνι Πατέρα & Προπονητής
“Ο Ντάνι ήταν το αουτσάιντερ στο παρελθόν. Lucas Matthysse ή Amir Khan, ονόμασε το. Δεν υποτιμούμε το Βάργκας. Δεν τον παίρνουμε ελαφρά. Πρόκειται να έρθουμε έτοιμοι να βουτήξω.
“Το Vargas είναι το αουτσάιντερ σήμερα, αλλά ο Ντάνι ήταν το αουτσάιντερ σε όλη του τη ζωή.Νοέμβριος 12 ο γιος μου θα είναι ακόμα αήττητος.
“Ήρθα στη Φιλαδέλφεια σε ηλικία έξι ετών. Δεν είχα φαγητό. Μόνο ξέρετε ότι πονάτε. Έφαγα πολλά τρόφιμα από ένα κουτάκι που μεγαλώνει, οπότε αν δωρίσετε οτιδήποτε ή αγοράσετε ένα εισιτήριο που δωρίζει χρήματα, θα κάνεις κάτι υπέροχο. Προσευχόμαστε κάθε μέρα για τα πεινασμένα παιδιά, όχι μόνο στην Αμερική αλλά σε ολόκληρο τον κόσμο.”
BILLY BRISCOE, Βάργκας’ Προπονητής
“Αυτή είναι μια μεγάλη ευκαιρία για μένα και τον Σαμουήλ. Κατά τη γνώμη μου, είναι υποτιμημένος μαχητής. Βρίσκεται κάτω από το ραντάρ για λίγο. Δουλεύαμε μαζί στον Καναδά και ξεκινήσαμε ένα σύστημα αγροκτημάτων.
“Κατά τη γνώμη μου παλεύουμε το καλύτερο welterweight στον κόσμο. Αυτό δεν είναι εύκολο έργο και δεν ξεγελαζόμαστε. Δεν θα αφήσουμε καμία πέτρα.
“Θα βρούμε έναν τρόπο και θα κάνουμε έναν τρόπο. Αυτό θα κάνουμε και ανυπομονώ για αυτό.”
MARSHALL KAUFFMAN, Προωθήσεις του βασιλιά
“Είναι πολύ συναρπαστικό να προωθείτε αυτόν τον νεαρό άνδρα, Ντάνι Γκαρσία. Τον θυμάμαι ως μικρό παιδί και είναι συναρπαστικό να βλέπω πού έρχεται στον κόσμο της πυγμαχίας. Γνωρίζω πολλά από αυτά τα παιδιά εδώ και πολύ καιρό και είμαι ενθουσιασμένος που βλέπω την απόδοσή τους.
“Αυτή η κάρτα θα στοιβάζεται με τοπικό ταλέντο και ελπίζω ότι όλοι θα βγουν και θα υποστηρίξουν αυτούς τους μαχητές και αυτή τη μεγάλη αιτία.
“Πάντα ήθελα να φέρω τον Ντάνι Γκαρσία στη Φιλαδέλφεια και η επιτροπή είναι ενθουσιασμένη για να τον φέρει πίσω σε αυτήν την υπέροχη πόλη και θα την κάνουμε αξίζει.”

Garcia insisted on staging the fight in his hometown and using the event as a vehicle to raise awareness and money for the less fortunate in the area.
“My dad and I wanted to get one more fight in before the end of the year and there was no doubt in my mind it had to be in Philadelphia,” είπε ο Γκαρσία. “My team got it done and it’s a great feeling to fight at home over the holidays. I’m excited to use this opportunity to give back to the community and put on a show on November 12. This city means everything to me. I hope everyone comes out, but shows up with cans of food too.

Garcia returns to headline in his hometown as a two-division world champion who has picked up major victories over top fighters including Amir Khan, Lucas Matthysse, Lamont Peterson, Paulie Malignaggi and Zab Judah on his way to 31 professional victories. The 28-year-old earned a vacant welterweight world title in his last bout when he won a toe-to-toe battle with former world champion Guerrero in Los Angeles taking his professional record to 32-0.
The 27-year-old Vargas enters this bout on a five-fight win streak including three stoppage victories including his most recent outing, a 10-round decision over Juan Armando Garcia in May. Born in Columbia, his family left to find a better life when he was 15 years old and after a brief stay in New York City, they moved to the Toronto suburb of Mississauga. Vargas enrolled at a boxing gym early on and learned discipline while adapting to his surroundings. Γύρισε υπέρ το 2010 after just 12 amateur bouts and was undefeated in his first 16 fights while fighting out of Canada.
Hurd fights out of Accokeek, Md., just south of Washington, D.C. and is perfect since entering the pro ranks in 2012. The 26-year-old has faced three straight undefeated fighters including a sixth-round stoppage of Frank Galarza in 2015 and a 10th-round TKO over Oscar Molina in the co-main event of the Keith Thurman vs. Shawn Porter card in June. The exciting boxer-puncher will look to continue his climb to a world title onΝοέμβριος 12.

The fighter out of Sinaloa, Mexico is entering this fight with nine straight wins, including six by way of knockout. The 27-year-old will be making his first ring appearance of 2016.
Ένα ερασιτεχνικό standout που συμμετείχαν στις πρώτες Παναμερικανικό Πρωτάθλημα στο 2003, the 27-year-old Fortuna owns victories over Abner Cotto, Carlos Ivan Velasquez, Miguel Zamudio και Πάτρικ Hyland. He took down the highly regarded Bryan Vasquez to earn a super featherweight world title in May of last year. Εκπροσωπώντας Λα Ρομάνα, Δομινικανή Δημοκρατία, Fortuna bounced back from a defeat to Jason Sosa to stop previously unbeaten Marlyn Cabrera in September.
An undefeated fighter out of Wilmington, Delaware, Douglas impressed in his last two outings when he defeated contender Frank De Alba in a step up fight last December and followed it up with a seventh-round knockout of Alexei Collado in June. The 25-year-old has picked up four victories since the beginning of 2015 and will face his toughest competition to date when he battles Fortuna.

BROOKLYN (Ιούνιος 26, 2016) – Prizefighting returned to CBS Σάββατο with a Fight of the Year candidate as undefeated welterweight world champion Keith Θέρμαν edged former world champion Shawn Porter in a close but unanimous decision scored 115-113 by all three ringside judges.

 

Ο 12,718 fans in attendance at Barclays Center in Brooklyn and the viewers across the U.S. watching the first primetime boxing event on CBS since Muhammed Ali-Leon Spinks in 1978 were treated to a slugfest between two of the brightest stars in boxing’s glamour division.

 

Θέρμαν (27-0, 22 KOs) and Porter (26-2-1, 16 KOs) combined to throw over 1200 punches in the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on CBS event, presented by Premier Boxing Champions. The marquee showdown was a story of accuracy vs. activity, as Thurman landed 50 τοις εκατό των πυροβολισμών δύναμης του, σε σύγκριση με 38 percent for Porter, και 44 percent of his total punches compared to just 36 percent for the challenger. While Thurman landed at a higher percentage, Porter was the busier fighter, throwing over 100 more punches across 12 γύρους.

 

“One Time” and “Showtime” delivered as advertised, with the powerful sharpshooter buckling Porter multiple times, while the swarming and smothering Porter barreled forward to bully Thurman into the ropes. And while there were no knockdowns, the back-and-forth blockbuster never lacked action and culminated in a standing ovation in the second-highest attended boxing event in Barclays Center history.

 

“I want to thank Shawn Porter for a tremendous fight. He’s a great warrior,” said Thurman. “Defense is the key to victory. He smothers his punches a lot and makes it difficult for the judges to score. I was able to rock him with clear, effective blows and I believe that was the difference today.

 

“I would give him a rematch. It was great fight. He was a great opponent. Everyone was saying would he be my toughest opponent to date. I wasn’t able to drop him but I did buckle him a few times.”

The former world champion Porter, a perennial underdog but consummate gentleman, didn’t complain about being on the losing end of his second close decision in a title bout.

 

“We worked hard, Keith is a great champion,” Porter said. “My dad says to keep your head up. Νομίζω ότι κέρδισε τον αγώνα, but I’m satisfied because the competitor came out απόψε.

 

“We need that rematch. I know the fans want that rematch. If he gives me another chance, I’m going to work hard in the ring and leave with his title.”

 

The opening bout of the CBS telecast featured a matchup of undefeated super welterweights as Jarrett Hurd graduated from prospect to legitimate contender in the stacked 154-pound class with a dominating 10ου round TKO over Oscar Molina.

 

Hurd (18-0, 12 KOs) got to work early, flooring Molina for the first time in his career in the opening round with a powerful counter right uppercut. The bigger and taller Hurd was the more active fighter from the outset, dismantling the previously unbeaten Mexican Olympian with a supremely effective inside game. Hurd threw nearly 750 punches over 10 γύρους, σε σύγκριση με μόλις 376 for Molina, σύνδεση για 220 power shots at a nearly 40 percent clip.

 

Hurd put a stamp on his performance in the final round, closing the show by out landing Molina 33-7 in the final round. With Molina taking a brutal beating and seemingly defenseless in the final minute of the final round, Ricky Gonzalez stepped in to halt the contest at 2:02.

 

“This is definitely a big win for my career,” Hurd said. “He was taking a lot of shots, but he knew how to survive. It was a big uppercut that knocked him down in round one. People know from my last fight that I have a great right uppercut. He was hurt a couple of times. I don’t think it was a bad stoppage. Molina is a very tough guy who just kept coming through.

 

“This fight here puts me up with the top contenders in the division. I felt like I could have gone three or four more rounds. I was getting stronger as the fight went on. We’re going right back to the gym so we can get in there again.”

 

Molina (13-1-1, 10 KOs) protested, but barring a stunning knockout he was just seconds away from suffering the first loss of his career via a unanimous decision.

 

“I felt like Hurd was throwing a lot of punches in the tenth round but they weren’t really hurting me,” Molina said. “He was staying busy but he was never really hurting me.

 

“I went low and I had my head down and he caught me with that uppercut in the first round. He got me with a shot I wasn’t expecting but it was definitely a flash knockdown. I wasn’t hurt.

 

“I was supposed to use my footwork a lot more but I ended up smothering my shots. He had an awkward defense with a lot of bending down and I couldn’t get into a rhythm.

 

“This was a big opportunity for me and I felt like I fought a good fight. I’m going to come back stronger. We’re going to work on a lot of things and get back in there.”

 

SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on CBS, presented by Premier Boxing Champions, was promoted by DiBella Entertainment.

 

Earlier in the evening on SHOWTIME, undefeated heavyweight sensation Anthony Joshua successfully defended his IBF Heavyweight World Championship for the first time with a seventh round knockout of previously unbeaten American Dominic Breazeale at The O2 in London.

Below are quotes from Joshua after Σάββατο win on SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL:

 

Many thought that Dominic Breazeale wouldn’t be able to stand up to your power and speed, but were you grateful for the opportunity to work a little bit more of your boxing skills?

“Well, it’s hard because you can see they’re hurt with every shot – well not every shot – but when you start catching them flush, they can feel the shots with these ten ounce gloves on. Έτσι, it’s just a matter of time, but in the process I didn’t want to be receiving any haymakers on the way back.

 

“It’s been tough I had two weeks off after my last fight, and got straight back in the gym so it was tough. I get a nice little break for once and then I can come back with recharged batteries.”

 

We know Deontay Wilder was watching the fight. Have you got a message for him, the WBC Champion?

“Unbelievable inspirational person. He was patient, 30-odd fights [και] got his hands on the WBC [ζώνη]. I’m following suit. I’m making my way into the U.S. with SHOWTIME backing me as well. Έτσι, he watched that.

 

“He can pick up whatever he wants to pick up from that, but it’s so different when you’re in the ring with each other. So one day we’ll get to experience what each other’s about.”

 

Who do you want to fight next?

“Well I think it’s gonna have to be the likes of [Ιωσήφ] Parker. I was really looking at Fury… I hope he gets better soon. He hurt his ankle unfortunately, which has postponed it because I was hoping to get that some time in the winter if everything went well July 9th like it didαπόψε, but we’re gonna have to reschedule that and in the meantime, we can look at other opponents like Parker, if he’s vacant, or anyone else that the people want.”

 

What do you think that you still need to work on?

“Rest. I need to rest. I’m tired, I’m working hard and as I said, now i can get

KEITH THURMAN
“It’s an honor to be on this platform. I’m excited to be back at Barclays Center. My last fight at Barclays Center was the first time I felt the fans give me love and I felt like I made it.
“I’m excited to feel the energy in the arena. We’re recovered and we’re ready. We did what we needed to so that we’re ready forΣάββατο νύχτα.
“As I think about this fight, these are dreams coming true for me. Sometimes I feel like I’m living a dream. I think about how I was raised by Ben Getty to this moment. Ben used to say that my moment was ‘right around the corner,’ and now it’s here. He was a wise man and he knew what he was talking about.
“This is a great fight. This is what the boxing fans want to see. I truly believe you are looking at two of the best welterweights in the world.
“I’m here as an entertainer. I’m here for the love of the sport. The fans want to see these kinds of fights. It’s obvious in the welterweight division that we are the two most exciting and devastating fighters in the division.
“Everybody kept talking about the sparring video, so I just decided to put it out. Sparring is sparring and fighting is fighting. This fight will be judged and this time I’ll have eight-ounce gloves on.
“It’s always been my dream to be the undisputed champion of the world.
“I’m looking forward to a great performance. I’m excited to a great challenge from Shawn Porter. There is a burning desire within myself to have a knockout victory. It’s hard to make world-class fighters quit. The fans ultimately want to see that knockout victory.
“There are real stakes are on the line αυτό το Σάββατο νύχτα. Our careers are on the line. My title is on the line. My undefeated record is on the line. It’s a great fight and a great matchup.
“I do believe that with each and every fight, you step up, you step up and you step up. Έτσι, thus the stakes are always higher and there are those times where you get a decent fight. But like I said, this is a great fight at a great moment of both athletes’ careers. We are both in our prime. I’m 27-years-old, Shawn is 28-years-old, we’ve both accomplished many great things and a victory Σάββατο night is just going to be another thing to add to the resume.
“This really is the best fight of the best. We’re trying to satisfy the fans and we’re trying to challenge ourselves, push ourselves, and see where we fit in and how great we really are. I’m going to show you Σάββατο night how great Keith “Ένας Χρόνος” Thurman really is.
“Just like Ali said, Σάββατο νύχτα, I’m going to show you how great I am.”
Shawn Porter
“Είναι ΕΔΩ. It’s been long anticipated and it’s here. I have never been more excited to fight in my life. It’s a blessing. Along this journey I’ve been able to learn the basics and excel in the basics and I found myself in a position where I’ve been able to be very successful.
“My hometown Cleveland Cavaliers winning the NBA title is definitely a motivation. It motivates me to be a winner. I want to bring this belt back to Ohio.
“I’m looking forward to this kind of moment to shine. That’s how you gain notoriety and become bigger. Δεν υπάρχει πίεση, just excitement.
“I’m just looking forward to getting in there and getting that energetic feeling. I want to feel the excitement of getting into the ring and all the adrenaline that rushes through.
“This is the fight I wanted. I wanted to have fun training for a fight like this. Keith has made it possible. He’s so good it pushes me to be better.
“This isn’t the first time and it won’t be the last time that two friends fight. I’m done talking about us being friends because it’s time for us to start punching each other. My plan is to have great defense, avoid getting hit and win the fight.
“I didn’t take much time off after the postponement. We tried to train and stay ready through the cancellation. You never know when the phone is going to ring. We just wanted to stay in shape, get better and be ready for anything.
“I feel like if Floyd Mayweather comes back, he should fight the winner of this matchup. I believe that will be me.
“I’m not going to go in there looking for a knockout and throw my hands wildly. I’m going to keep up the pace that I normally keep up. I’m a great boxer. People consider me a boxer, but I may surprise you.”
ΒΟΡΕΙΟ ΤΖΑΡΡΕΤ
“I’m thankful for this opportunity. This is a great shot for me right now. In my last fight I had an opportunity similar to this. I was a fill-in for television and I did what I was supposed to do.
“Success is accomplished when preparation meets opportunity. I know things like this can happen. It doesn’t change anything. We’re going to go out and do what we trained for.
“You always get butterflies before getting in the ring but that’s normal. Molina is very experienced and has good hand speed but I know what I can do. We’re ready for this.
“I’m happy to be on this stage. This could be the biggest fight of the year and I’m extremely blessed to open it up.
“I’m going to go out there and put on another terrific performance. Molina, he’s an Olympian and he has a lot of experience. He’s a crafty fighter and we’re going to do what we have to do to get the victory.
“We’re ready to do what we’re going to do. Είναι πρόκειται να είναι μια μεγάλη μάχη Σάββατο το βράδυ.”
OSCAR MOLINA
“I’m ready for this. I’m more than ready for this. These type of fights are what gets me up to train.
“This guy I’m fighting is young, undefeated and a prospect like myself. I know he’s going to be ready and it’s going to be a tough fight but I’m ready for him.
“This is a huge deal for me. I was already excited to be on this huge undercard. When they told me that I was moving up to CBS I knew how big of an opportunity it is for me and my career.
“Hurd is a tall and lanky fighter. I saw his last fight and I see that he does well with guys who are flat footed. My boxing skills and my footwork are something he’s never seen before. Frank Galarza was tailor-made for Hurd and I think I’m going to be able to give him different looks.
“I’m a boxer-puncher and I can adapt to different styles. I also have power for big knockouts but my boxing skills are most important.
“Fighting in the Olympics taught me to adapt to different styles. I have a fan-friendly style and I’m excited to put on a show.”
DAN BIRMINGHAM, Thurman’s Trainer
“We’re ready for this fight. Keith trains hard every day and we know Shawn and Kenny well. I’ve brought them to my gym and these two guys have gone a lot of rounds together.
“I think Keith Thurman is the most gifted guy in boxing. He does everything right. Σάββατο night we’re looking for a great fight and I know in my heart that we will be victorious.”
KEN PORTER, Ο πατέρας του Porter & Προπονητής
“Είναι υπέροχο να βρίσκομαι εδώ. It’s great to be on this stage with Shawn. This isn’t something we just started getting ready for, this is something he’s been getting ready for since birth. I always had a mindset to put Shawn in a position to excel in life. He has not disappointed.
“I know these guys are going to give it everything they have. It will be 100 percent for as long as it lasts. We’re prepared to take the championship. These are great guys here to the right, αλλά Σάββατο we’re bringing everything to the table.
“We’re coming to deliver a great show. Enjoy yourselves Σάββατο το βράδυ.”
Lou DiBella, Πρόεδρος του DiBella ψυχαγωγία
“This is what it’s all about. Αυτό το Σάββατο νύχτα, the best is fighting the best. It’s right here in Brooklyn on CBS. It’s the first fight on CBS in primetime since Muhammad Ali fought over 30 χρόνια πριν.
“This is a terrific card from top to bottom. There is a tremendous undercard, a great co-feature and a main event that boxing fans have been waiting for a long time.
“This is an undercard chock full of talent. You will want to get there early as there are evenly matched bouts all night.
“SHOWTIME has highlighted the 154-pound division in recent shows, so it makes sense that there will be another significant matchup in that division on CBS Σάββατο night with Jarrett Hurd and Oscar Molina.
“We’re not going to talk about friendship and respect anymore with these two guys, that’s in the past and the future. These guys know their future is dependent on beating up the other guy and a fight of this magnitude makes the stakes even higher.
“The best want to fight the best and it starts Σάββατο νύχτα. The winner of this fight wants to be the best in the world. Both men want to be an undisputed welterweight champion.”
STEPHEN Εσπινόζα, Εκτελεστικός Αντιπρόεδρος & Γενικός Διευθυντής, Αθλητισμός SHOWTIME
“Ιούνιος 25 is a very special day and night for us at CBS. It begins with the heavyweight world title being contested between Anthony Joshua and Dominic Breazeale and then the return of boxing to primetime CBS for the first time in almost 40 χρόνια.
“This was an easy fight to make. Shawn and Keith, neither one hesitated for a second in taking this fight. All credit goes to them for taking this fight. It’s a difficult fight for both on a big stage.
“Boxing takes criticism for not making the right fights at the right time. One of the bad habits we have is that we spend time thinking about fights that might get made. But now we have the right fight, at the right time and at the right venue. It’s a disservice to not recognize that what is going Σάββατο is very special and very exciting.”
ΜΠΡΕΤ YORMARK, Διευθύνων Σύμβουλος της Brooklyn Sports & Ψυχαγωγία
“It’s an exciting week at Barclays Center. Απόψε we host the NBA Draft, the weigh-in αύριο and our big event Σάββατονύχτα. The momentum is building for this fight and we are on pace for the biggest crowd for a boxing event since we opened.
“We are excited about bringing a great night of fights to Brooklyn. We welcome Keith Thurman and Shawn Porter back to Brooklyn as they have both fought there once before.
“It’s become tradition to have both of you fight in our ring and we know how popular you are with our fans and we love to have you back.
“This will be the first primetime fight on CBS since the first Muhammad Ali-Leon Spinks fight in 1978 and it’s a big moment for the boxing community for sure. We look forward to hosting everyone Σάββατο το βράδυ.”
