Frampton, the consensus 2016 Fighter de l'année, narrowly outpointed Santa Cruz to become a two-division titleholder last July on SHOWTIME.

 

“You always need a dance partner, and Leo Santa Cruz could be mine,” Frampton said.

 

“Hopefully, that night it goes my way and we get the third fight and we make it a trilogy,” Santa Cruz said.

Carl Frampton and Leo Santa Cruz sat down with SHOWTIME Sports® reporter Mark Kriegel as they prepare for their eagerly anticipated rematch next Samedi, Jan. 28, en direct sur Showtime® (10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT) du MGM Grand à Las Vegas. The interviews are the latest in a reoccurring SHOWTIME Sports digital series, THE REVEAL with Mark Kriegel, featuring exclusive and in-depth interviews with boxing’s emerging stars.

 

Frampton, the consensus 2016 Fighter of the Year who narrowly outpointed Santa Cruz to become a two-division titleholder last July on SHOWTIME, opens up about growing up during “The Troubles” in Belfast, his unique bond with Hall of Fame mentor Barry McGuigan, and how his legacy could forever be connected to Leo Santa Cruz.

 

A three-division world champion, Santa Cruz discusses the pain of his first defeat, the affect his father’s battle with cancer had on his training, his plans for the rematch and hope for a legendary rivalry.

 

Below are bites from the separate interviews:

 

KRIEGEL: “You make good on your father’s dream, and now you’re scared of him dying. The cancer – how did you train?"

SAINTE CROIX: “It was hard, it was hard to train, to concentrate. I still went to the gym and trained, (mais) I didn’t train as hard. I didn’t train as the other fights because my dad wasn’t there. My dad was going to chemo, he was going to radiation…I thought to myself, maybe tomorrow he won’t wake up.”

 

KRIEGEL: “What did you tell your father after you lost?"

 

SAINTE CROIX: “I told my dad, désolé. I’m sorry we didn’t get the win and that I disappointed you. My dad told me, ‘that’s alright. You didn’t disappoint anybody. We’re going to get him in the rematch.’ ”

 

FRAMPTON INTERVIEW:

KRIEGEL: “Ali and Frazier had each other, Leonard and Duran had each other. In order to be recognized as a great fighter you need an epic antagonist. And for all the talk, you might actually have one in Leo.”

 

FRAMPTON: “I would like that – I would like a rivalry where in 20, 30 years from now people remember it. You always need a dance partner, and Leo Santa Cruz could be mine.”

 

KRIEGEL: Barry says you could end up as the greatest of all the Irish fighters. Aren’t you almost beyond that already? Aren’t the stakes already higher?

 

FRAMPTON: "Ne Pas, potentially I could be. After Santa Cruz I want to continue to fight big names and be involved in big fights. There’s never been a Northern Irishman, apart from myself, to win a world title in two weight divisions. If I set my sights sometime in the future for the 130-pound division and become a three-weight world champion, I may feel comfortable calling myself the best Irish fighter of all time.”

 

KRIEGEL: “Barry represented a symbol of peace during one of the darkest times in Northern Ireland. What does Carl Frampton represent?"

 

FRAMPTON: “People want to look at me as a new figure for Northern Ireland. I’m a Protestant, married to a Catholic. This is a new age thing.”

LAS VEGAS (Janvier 17, 2017) – Undefeated featherweight world champion Carl Frampton hosted media at his training camp in Las Vegas Tuesday ahead of his highly anticipated rematch with former three-division world champion Leo Santa Cruz surSamedi, Janvier 28 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena and live on SHOWTIME.
Couverture télévisée commence à 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT with undefeated lightweight world champion Dejan Zlaticanin battling former two-division world champion Mikey Garcia.
Frampton was joined by undefeated prospect Josh Taylor; who’s 10-round super lightweight contest is set to be featured as part of bonus coverage on SHOWTIME EXTREME at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
Here is what the participants had to say Tuesday from Porter Hy-Performance Center in Las Vegas:
Carl Frampton
This camp has been even better than the last one. I had a few problems with my hand during the last training camp but this camp has been brilliant. I’ve been able to put a lot of effort into every session.
I’m hungry to prove that this wasn’t a fluke. I see some people talking on the internet that I got lucky last time or that Leo would have won with his father in camp the whole time. But I believe there is a lot more to come for me. I’ve been performing better this camp than ever before. I think I win this fight more convincingly.
I think Leo is a confidence fighter. I think his pride has made him go straight back to the deep end again. He’s always been bigger than his opponents. At both bantamweight and super bantamweight he was bigger. Even though Leo is taller than me, I’m the bigger man. On fight night I’ll be heavier and stronger than him. He’s been able to bully opponents and wear them out, but he can’t do that to me. I think he’s making a big mistake jumping right back in.
I got drawn in to Leo’s type of fight last time, which made it very exciting. Because of our styles, it’s always going to be a good fight. If it’s two wins to nil for me, I’d rather move on and fight someone like Lee Selby. I just want to be involved in big fights.
“Évidemment, being from where I’m from, fighting in New York was a major appeal, and a lot of guys on the East Coast are attracted to an Irish fighter they haven’t seen before. So I got a lot of new support from the East Coast. We brought a lot of people across with us, aussi. But now, to be fighting, topping the bill at the MGM in the fight capital of the world, it’s something I never really thought about when I was a kid or when I turned professional. I never really believed I could get to this. But it’s here, and I’m hoping that it can continue for a long time.
We’re staying at Robert Guerrero’s training camp house, which is a big thing for me in itself. We drove past the MGM Grand and saw my face on the side. That was pretty surreal in itself. I just can’t wait to soak it up.
This was a big fight enough in New York, now I think it’s going to be like New York on steroids. I can’t wait to soak up the atmosphere on fight week, can’t wait for all of my fans to get here, I think it’s going to be a real carnival atmosphere and people are going to enjoy it.
Fighting Leo Santa Cruz in the United States, a 3-weight world champion who a lot of people thought was going to beat me and beat me comfortably, that was a big deal. That was the real turning point of my career. And I think there’s more to come. Je suis 30 en Février, but I don’t feel any signs of slowing up.
I genuinely feel like I’m getting better and I think Leo’s going to be in for a tough night here. If I can do what I’ve been doing here in the gym, perform like I’ve been performing in sparring, I’m hurting sparring partners, knocking sparring partners out. I feel like I’m developing, developing into a proper featherweight and I feel like he’s going to be in for a tough night.
We’ve got a chef in the house that we’re staying at, cooking and preparing our food. We’re training at Shawn Porter’s gym here. It’s a great facility and they’re looking after us, Shawn and (Kenny) Porter. It’s nothing really to deal with apart from the time difference. I reckon it takes a day for every hour of time difference.
JOSH TAYLOR
This is the first time I’ve been in Las Vegas and I’m definitely a little star struck by the strip and the big buildings. I’m really have a great time though and it’s a good experience.
This is a great setup we have here at the gym and I’m getting a lot of good work here. I’ve been sparring with former world champion Shawn Porter and Cuba’s Yordenis Ugas. I couldn’t ask for better work.
I feel very confident. I’m getting great preparation. It’s not every day you get to spar with guys like this, especially with only seven fights under my belt. I’m feeling really good.
SHANE MCGUIGAN, Frampton and Taylor’s Trainer
Training camp has been going really great. Santa Cruz feels like he didn’t have his best performance last time but I don’t think Carl was at his best either. I think we’ll see the same victory this time.
Carl’s confidence is through the roof. He never lacks in that department. He always rises to the occasion. He performs his best when he’s out there in front of a huge crowd. Leo Santa Cruz is going to bring out the best of Carl Frampton.
Fighting in Las Vegas is amazing. This is what Carl has been dreaming about since he was a kid. I’ve been dreaming about it too. My father was an amazing fighter but this is a new era of massive crowds coming across the globe. It all starts on Janvier 28 and it’s going to be a great time.
Barry McGuigan, Manager de Frampton, Former World Champion and Hall of Famer
It was definitely Carl’s toughest fight but I think Carl is still getting better. I think Carl will win even more convincingly this time, but it’s going to be a great fight every time they meet because of the clash of styles.
Carl has knocked out at least two of his sparring partners in preparation for this. He’s looking very strong and he’s working very hard.
Santa Cruz is talking about using his range, but I think that’s all smokescreens. Once that bell rings he’s going to come straight at Carl and we’ll be in for another great fight.
We had the option to squeeze in a mandatory defense before the end of last year. But we thought it was best to rest and get this big fight in by the end of January.

Also working out for the media at Fortune Gym Tuesday were lightweight world champion Dejan Zlaticanin et ancien champion de deux divisions Mikey Garcia, who meet in the opening bout on SHOWTIME at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT.

Here is what the participants had to say Tuesday:
LEO SANTA CRUZ
My dad is my trainer full-time. He’s always been the one who knows how to point out and correct the mistakes I make in training. I think having him full-time will be a big difference. He will push me more.
I think I have to land more clean punches this time. I’m going to work the body more and break him down. I’m going to sit on my punches a lot better. I couldn’t land my punches clearly and with enough power.
I’m excited because Las Vegas is like my second hometown. I’ve fought there throughout my career. They give me great support. I know that when I’m tired and hear them scream, it will give me the energy to go the distance.
I don’t think I had trouble adjusting to fighting on the East Coast. But there aren’t as many Mexican fans over there; so hopefully I will have some more support this time. None of that really matters once we get into the ring though. It’s just me and Carl in there.
I have the loss in my head. I don’t just want to do it for myself. I want to do it for everyone who has doubted me. Once I prove them wrong and win this fight, then I’ll be proud of myself.
I’m going to fight like this is for my first world title. I’m going up there as a nobody and I’m going to go make a name for myself. I’m coming with that kind of hunger.
I’m going to show everyone what I’ve been working on. I want to prove that I’m better than Carl Frampton. If everything works out, we’ll get the victory.
My fans have kept me motivated and given me the hunger to go out there and reclaim my title. That’s what I want to do. I hope it’s another Fight of the Year, but this time I will get the victory.
I feel stronger since the last fight and I’ve been preparing for everything. We’re sparring some bigger guys just to keep me prepared. We have strong, fast and heavy opponents. Carl Frampton won’t have anything we aren’t ready for.
CONGÉ Zlaticanin
If Garcia tries to go toe-to-toe or stay in the center of the ring, I will knock him out. If he tries to jab and move, then I will have to find my way to his head and break him down.
“Le camp d'entraînement a été très bien passé. I feel very good. I can’t wait to get in the ring and perform. I’m proud to be on a show like this against a star like Mikey Garcia.
It is a big deal to be the first boxing champion from Montenegro. I’ve lived the dream that I’ve had since I was a child and first stepped into a boxing gym.
I’m not worried about Garcia’s layoff. That is something he has to worry about. I just have to focus on Janvier 28. I believe that I will be victorious.
All of the fans are going to enjoy this fight and they will see me successfully defend my world title.
I feel great training out here in Los Angeles. It’s totally different from in Europe and this style of working and training has really helped me.
I change my style for every fighter. Each fighter is totally different and you can’t fight any two guys the same way. You have to adjust.
A champion needs to fight everyone. That’s what I believe. There are some champions right now who do not want to face me.
Mikey Garcia is already talking about fights with Manny Pacquiao and Vasyl Lomachenko, but he hasn’t gotten past me. He has a big test in the ring and I am going to stop him.
I am very motivated by Garcia talking about future fights. I will show everybody that the talk means nothing. They will see everything in the ring.
Mikey GARCIA
I’m picking up right where I left off. My second fight back and I get to fight against an undefeated world champion. The quality of Zlaticanin means a lot more to me than picking up a world title. I’m super motivated for this win and to make this a great year.
“Ceci est une grande opportunité pour moi. It’s a very dangerous fight. That’s why I took it. These are the kind of challenges that I want. I’m ready to prove to everybody that I’m back right where I belong.
I’m not overlooking Zlaticanin, but everybody else seems to be. People ask me about what I’d want for future fights, but I know how dangerous this guy is. Anything could happen. But I know that I have what it takes to beat him. Il a le pouvoir, but I also have power. The best man is going to win that night.
Becoming an undefeated world champion like my opponent doesn’t come easy. It happens for a reason. He may be not as known to the casual fan, but anybody can tell you how dangerous he is. Some people think it’s a little too much for me right now. But I’m ready to prove everybody wrong and take on this challenge.
I have to prepare for anything. I’m not there to dictate pace or anything, I’m there to make sure I win at all costs. I’m ready to fight any style and beat Dejan on Janvier 28. This is a great way to get back in the position I want to be in.
I expect him to come in and try to knock my head off. He’s a power puncher and that’s what he does. If he wants to pressure me, I’ll be ready for that.
I never felt like I left. I was inactive from fighting but I never stopped training. The intensity is fully picked up right now. This is my job and this is what I need to do to win this fight.
I’m ready to turn up the notch and focus in on having a great training camp. I have a great team and we’ve had quality sparring. It’s been a fantastic camp.
You have all of the elements here for a great fight. My opponent is hungry, he’s ready and undefeated. I’m more motivated than ever. So you know it’s going to be a great fight.
RICHARD SCHAEFER, Président & PDG de Sport Ringstar
The first fight between Santa Cruz and Frampton was, pour moi, the Fight of the Year. We have two other world title fights on this card and top to bottom it’s one of the best cards I can remember. I’m going to make sure I’m in my seat early.
Mikey Garcia has the potential to become the biggest superstar in the sport. He has a great personality and can really fight. All the ingredients are there. Here he has a very tough fight though. Zlaticanin is the ‘King Kong’ du Monténégro. He’s a dangerous puncher and it’s going to be a great fight.
It’s a great card but if I had to pick one fight to steal the show, it would Zlaticanin vs. Garcia. That is going to be a spectacular knockout, d'une façon ou d'une autre.
The main event is as good as it gets. It’s going to pick up in round 13. Leo knows that he has to make adjustments. He knows he wasn’t at his best the first time. He was out of his comfort zone and had distractions. If Leo is properly prepared physically and mentally, then he should come out victorious.
Leo knew as soon as the results were read that he wanted the rematch. That’s the kind of mindset he has. He knows that he’s a better fighter than he showed in July. He knows what he needs to do.
By becoming Fighter of the Year, and everything that comes with it, Frampton is flying high. This is a guy who is now a pound-for-pound great fighter. He worked all his life for that spot and he doesn’t want to give it up. For the UK fighters, fighting in Las Vegas is the pinnacle of the sport. I think there will be a lot of Irish people there and I just can’t wait for the first bell to ring.
JOSE SANTA CRUZ, Père de Santa Cruz & Entraîneur
“Je me sens vraiment bien. My cancer is dormant right now and I feel like I’m recuperating and getting back to my normal self. I’m making sure that everything is fine and I’m doing well with the doctors. Right now everything on the health forefront is good.
I am happy to be part of Leo’s training camp again. I think that was the major difference in his last fight. I’m back pressuring him again and making sure he keeps the pressure on his opponent. I think my presence in the gym reminds him of the work he needs to do.
Leo wasn’t defending the way that he should have in the last fight, he kept throwing punches without blocking. He was throwing sluggish, slow punches. I’m getting him back on point and making sure that he doesn’t let up.
ROBERT GARCIA, Frère Garcia & Entraîneur
Dejan Zlaticanin is a very strong fighter, not only physically, but mentally. We’re training like never before. We’ve been training hard for two months and preparing for a really tough fight. This fight is a big fight and it brings even bigger ones after.
Mikey wants these big challenges. Zlaticanin is a polished champion with tremendous power. The challenge is ahead of him. There are so many big names at lightweight and other weight classes. His goals are to get there, and it starts with this fight.
It’s been a few years since Mikey’s last fight in Las Vegas so it’s really exciting to be on the card headlined by Frampton-Santa Cruz 2. We know it’s going to be a huge crowd and they’ll be supporting Mikey. Plus, with all the Frampton fans that will be there, we know that it’s going to be an incredible atmosphere. Mikey knows this is the beginning of huge things. After this, Mikey will be the one headlining.

Representing Wales, Selby has been referred to as theWelsh Floyd Mayweatherbecause of the elusive style and ring generalship that led to him winning his featherweight world championship via a technical decision over Evgeny Gradovich in May 2015. Depuis, the 29-year-old has defended his belt successfully against former champion Fernando Montiel and top challenger Eric Hunter.
Un pro depuis 2004, Barros was unbeaten in his first 29 fights in Argentina before losing in a world title fight to Yuriokis Gamboa. Barros won a world title in his second opportunity by stopping Irving Berry in the seventh round of their 2010 épreuve de force.

The younger brother of undefeated Jose Benavidez, David has racked up a perfect 16 wins in 16 starts at just 20-years-old.

He continued to impress in his last outing, knocking out his most experienced opponent to date, Dave Ryan, in the fifth round of a October 2016 bout.

Briser l'UFC 207 Carte principale: Aperçu et prévisions

 

Par: Rich Bergeron

UFC 207 marque le retour tant attendu de “Chahuteur” Ronda Rousey (12-1) à un octogone qu'elle a autrefois dominé en tant que championne des poids coq féminin. Le titre repris de Rousey de façon dramatique par Holly Holm est maintenant autour de la taille capable d'Amanda Nunes (13-4). Rousey aura la chance de l'arracher et de la remettre autour de ses hanches le 30 décembre.

Rousey est hors de la cage depuis plus d'un an, et elle a déjà confirmé récemment que sa carrière dans les arts martiaux mixtes touche à sa fin. Nunes est jeune, affamé et intimidant comme l'opprimé (+150) cherche à s'accrocher à sa ceinture contre le légendaire mastodonte de Judoka et MMA. Rousey arrive comme le favori à -185.

Pour plus d'informations sur les cotes et les paris, visitez 12PARI.

Il y a plus de questions que de réponses dans cet événement à succès. Est-ce que Rousey secouera la rouille de l'anneau et reviendra à la gloire? Est-elle déjà un pas vers la retraite? Nunes peut-elle calmer ses sceptiques et continuer à dégrader l'héritage de la toute première championne des poids coq de l'UFC? Quoiqu'il arrive, le premier tour sera crucial. Les deux femmes chercheront à en faire une nuit rapide.

Prédiction: Rousey revient avec une vengeance et affiche une défense bien améliorée contre les frappes et les coups de pied. Nunes se bat dur et représente le meilleur du Brésil, mais Ronda a trop à perdre. Elle n'a peut-être plus un dossier parfait à protéger, mais elle a une raison parfaite pour gagner ce combat. Elle doit également établir son statut d'alpha pour faire taire ses propres critiques et prouver qu'elle est de retour pour récupérer son titre.. Rousey gagne par KO au début du deuxième tour.

Un autre titre des poids coq de l'UFC est en jeu dans l'événement co-principal. Dominique Cruz (22-1) donne Cody Garbrandt (10-0) une fissure à la ceinture dans ce qui pourrait être un vrai slugfest. Bien que Cody n'ait jamais perdu un combat et éliminé neuf de ses dix adversaires de carrière au niveau professionnel, Dominique Cruz (-225) poursuit une séquence de 13 victoires consécutives qui remonte à mars 2008. Garbrandt (+175) représente un proverbial “chance du perforateur” ici, bien que. Il a remporté ses trois derniers combats par TKO ou par KO. Tous se sont terminés grâce à la puissance de frappe rapide de Cody.

Prédiction: Considérant que Cruz est une tactique, combattant défensif, il prospérera alors que le combat entre dans les rounds les plus profonds. Garbrandt ne peut pas gagner sans un KO au premier tour car l'expérience et le talent brut que Cruz apporte à la cage sont uniques et dynamiques. Il fait des ajustements comme aucun autre combattant et utilise des mouvements du corps et de la tête qui semblent confondre tous les adversaires auxquels il a été confronté ces dernières années.. Cody devra attraper “Le Dominator” se connecter avec lui, et il n’aura qu’un tour pour le faire. Cruz gagne par TKO ou décision unanime.

Un affrontement lourd entre Fabricio Werdum (21-6-1) et Cain Velasquez (14-2) est également présenté à l'UFC 207. Le combat est une revanche d'un UFC 188 guerre entre les deux goliaths, qui s'est terminé avec Werdum remportant le combat de championnat par soumission au troisième tour (Starter guillotine).

Cette fois-ci, Velasquez est le combattant préféré (-210) tandis que Werdum est un +170 opprimé. Ceci est un autre bagarreur vs. match de tacticien, et ça pourrait aller dans les deux sens. Werdum a montré un menton faible contre Stipe Miocic, et Cain recherchera toutes les occasions de le vérifier.

Prédiction: Velasquez envoie Werdum à l'intérieur de deux tours. La frappe de Caïn est supérieure à Werdum, et il ne fera pas l'erreur de laisser Werdum prendre le combat au sol cette fois. Velasquez par KO.

Neil Magny (18-5) et Johny Hendricks (17-5) entrez dans la cage pour l'UFC 207 comme deux des meilleurs poids welters de la ligue. Les deux connaissent des hauts et des bas dans le sport ces derniers temps, bien que. Magny a eu une séquence de trois victoires consécutives arrêtée par Lorenz Larkin lors de son dernier combat tandis que Hendricks a perdu trois de ses quatre derniers combats. Hendricks est loin de lui-même et loin de ses jours de championnat. Stephen Thompson a essuyé le tapis avec Hendricks en route vers un TKO brutal avant que Kelvin Gastelum n'entre dans la cage en face de l'ancien champion et remporte une décision unanime après trois rounds durement disputés..

Prédiction: Magny est le combattant le plus durable et le plus dynamique, et Hendricks n'arrive pas à se rapprocher suffisamment pour décrocher ses meilleurs coups puissants. Magny arrêtera Hendricks’ avances, refuser ses tentatives de retrait et soumettre ou arrêter l'ancien champion avant la cloche finale. Magny par TKO au troisième tour.

Au départ de la carte principale, un autre combat impliquant un ancien champion. T.J. Dillashaw (13-3) batailles compagnon John “Hands of Stone” Lineker (29-7) dans un combat de poids coq voué à être un futur classique. Lineker apporte une intensité, une puissance et une précision tout simplement étonnantes à voir. Dillashaw se déplace dans la cage comme un beau-danseur irlandais, esquiver les attaques comme un torero mexicain. Lineker a montré lors de son dernier combat avec John Dodson qu'il pouvait être un rusé, combattant technique aussi.

Prédiction: Qu'est-ce que T.J. manque la force de Lineker: PUISSANCE. Lineker apprendra à trouver sa gamme au deuxième tour et commencera à pénétrer la défense peu orthodoxe de Dillashaw. À mi-chemin du troisième tour, il rattrapera T.J. reculer et terminer le combat sur les pieds avec une série brutale de coups de poing, coups de pied, genoux et coudes contre la cage. Lineker par TKO au troisième tour.

It feels great to have a career that’s lasted this long, he made it easy to stick to my game plan. I listened to my corner who guided me and kept me on track, I couldn’t be happier with the decision,” Saïd Théophane.

Krael kept delivering punches, forcing Lee to fight on the defense. By the beginning of the fifth round, Lee found an opening, landing jabs and uppercuts affecting Krael. En fin de compte, Lee couldn’t seem to land enough of what normally seems like easy jabs against the quick moving and strong Cameron Krael. Après 6 rounds of action the judges saw the bout in favor of Krael by unanimous decision, giving Lee the first loss of his career.
I only had one week to prepare for this fight, the results ultimately showed how much more experience and fights under my belt, I had over my opponent,” says Krael. “I broke him down round by round, he never had a chance.
My game plan was to box smart, I knew he had a lot of experience so I knew I had to be smart in the ring.Lee reflects on his performance and goes on to say, “I thought the fight was a lot closer than what the judges ruled. I definitely could have thrown more punches. We both took a lot of punches in the end. This was a learning experience and I just gotta come back harder.
The night began with a full Mayweather Promotions showcase serving back-to-back, non-stop undercard action. Newly signed lightweight amateur Rolando Romero (1-0, 1 KO)got the first win of his career in the first round, by TKO against David Courtney(1-5, 1KO) after only one minute and eleven seconds of action.
