ATLANTA (Juni 27, 2021) – Gervonta “Tank” Davis, one of the biggest stars in all of boxing, put on a career-defining performance Saturday night live on SHOWTIME PPV from the award-winning State Farm Arena in Atlanta, scoring a scintillating 11th round TKO over the previously-undefeated Mario Barrios to capture the WBA Super Lightweight Championship in the action-packed Premier Boxing Champions event. Watch the stoppage HER.

“I made it tough. I definitely could have made it easier but I went up two weight classes and I got the job done,” said the 26-year-old Baltimore native, who was headlining his second SHOWTIME PPV. “I hit him with some clean shots, but I’m the type of fighter that wants to catch you with clean shots. I don’t just want to throw any type of shot. The shots I was throwing were missing, but eventually I caught up with him.”

In a fight that lived up to its potential, Davis (25-0, 24 KOS) and Barrios (26-1, 17 KOS) combined to put on an unforgettable main event in front of a sold-out crowd of 16,570. After a slow opening four rounds in which Davis landed just 11 punches, the fight produced fireworks beginning in the fifth round. In the eighth round, “Tank” sent “El Azteca” to the canvas for both the first and second times of his career. Første, Davis connected on a sweeping right hook that sent the former champion to the canvas. Øjeblikke senere, a straight left hand by Davis dropped Barrios again. The brave Barrios rose to his feet, surviving Davis’ attempts to finish him in the eighth.

With International Boxing Hall of Famer and promoter Floyd Mayweather encouraging Davis in his corner, the southpaw came out rejuvenated in the eleventh round, realizing that the fight could be close on the scorecards. “Tank” dropped Barrios for the third time in the fight, this time with a left uppercut to the body. The bloodied Barrios rose again, only to be greeted with another barrage of punches from Davis. Referee Thomas Taylor stepped in to stop the fight at 2:13 of the eleventh round.

“I knew for sure if I catch him, I’m crackin,” Davis told SHOWTIME’s Jim Gray. “So I caught him, og det viste. My coach was telling me to go to a jab style but I’m a southpaw so they know I’m going to that jab side. So I would try and bait him in. I faked like I was going left, and I threw my right. And my hook over top, and that’s where I caught him.”

In the final six-and-a-half rounds, Davis landed 85 punches. Han landede 45 procent af hans magt slag (82/182), while Barrios more than held his own, out-landing Davis in six of the ten completed rounds.

“I knew he was hurt. I just had to catch him at the right time,” Davis continued. “Floyd [Mayweather] came to me and was honest and said I was down,” continued Davis, who was actually ahead on all three judges’ scorecards at the time of the stoppage. “So he said ‘Show me that you’re great.’ And you know how we do it in the doghouse, Baby!"

Med sejren, Davis now holds world championships in three different divisions simultaneously, a feat only accomplished by a few other fighters in history, including Henry Armstrong and Canelo Alvarez.

“He has the potential to be one of the greatest ever,” said Mayweather. “When I first met ‘Tank’ when he was 14 eller 15 år, I told him I’d make him a world champion. And that you’ll be one of the best someday. I’m proud of him.”

“I’ve never been a hater. Congrats to ‘Tank’,sagde Barrios. “He came here and did his thing. It was nothing short of an exciting fight and that’s exactly what both of us predicted. He was the better man tonight, but I’ll definitely be back.

“’Tank’ is explosive. He caught me slipping and it’s boxing. Ved slutningen af ​​dagen, one punch can change the fight. That’s exactly what I felt happened. Congrats to him.”

In a back-and-forth co-main event, Orlandos Erickson "Hammer" Lubin (23-1, 17 KOS) overcame some adversity to score the most important victory of his career over former unified world champion Jeison Rosario (20-3-1, 14 KOS). The WBC No. 1-ranked contender at 154 pounds, Lubin scored a sixth-round KO (1:42) in the WBC Super Welterweight Title Eliminator. Holde øje HER.

“I just followed the game plan,” said the 25-year-old Lubin, who improves to 6-0 since suffering the only loss of his career to 154-pound kingpin Jermell Charlo. “I would just go back to my corner after each round and Coach [Kevin] Cunningham and my team would just say, ‘Stick to the jab. Stay consistent with your jab.’ I’m way faster than him and I knew he had good power and he was trying to counter me. So I would fade him out and use my jab consistently.”

I tredje runde, Lubin nearly put an early end to the action with a huge frame that had Rosario on the back foot. In the closing moments of the round, Lubin landed a right hook that had Rosario wobbling back to his corner after the bell rang. Miraculously, in the next round, Rosario was able to recover and completely turned the tables, wobbling Lubin with a left jab.

The action turned up even more in the sixth round. Lubin, sensing that Rosario was susceptible to the body attack, landed a vicious left-right body combination that sent Rosario to his knees in what ultimately proved to be the turning point of the fight. Rosary, clearly hurt, was never able to recover and Lubin finished him off moments later against the ropes.

“I started to hurt him in the body as soon as the first round started,” the 2016 “Prospect Of The Year” Lubin said. “I started with the body and I saw him grunt. So I was able to hurt him to the body. I just wanted to distract him with the jab, then go downstairs. And I was able to get him out. I knew even if he got up after the knockdown that the fight was over. I know I’m a great finisher and I knew I was going to get him out of there as soon as I saw him drop.”

Lubin landed 44 procent af hans magt slag (80/288) og 20 of his landed punches were to the body. Med sejren, Lubin puts himself squarely in the picture for a second world title opportunity.

“I want a shot at the world title next,"Sagde han. “I want everyone at 154 pounds. I’m No. 1 in the WBC but I chose to fight Rosario. I don’t duck anybody. I want to say that I fought everyone in my division when I win the world title.”

“Right now, I feel so bad,” said Rosario. “There is no lesson to be learned yet, everything is so raw still. I lost again, and it’s so frustrating. I was convinced I was going to win. The fight started to turn in the second round. I was just trying to keep up and listen to my corner. Lubin is a great fighter. He deserved to win. I hope he enjoys his victory.”

On the biggest stage of his career, Dominican Republic’s Carlos Adames (20-1, 16 KOS) rose to the occasion, scoring a highlight-reel third-round knockout over the streaking Alexis Salazar (23-4, 9 KOS) in the second fight of the pay-per-view. Tidspunktet for standsningen var 2:59 af den tredje runde. Watch the KO HER.

In the eventful and decisive third round, referee Jim Korb deducted two points from Adames for excessive holding. Men, Adames made certain that the point deduction would have no impact on the fight’s result. He dropped Salazar with a lead left hook flush on the chin, a punch that Salazar never saw coming. The 25-year-old Mexican was able to get back to his feet, but Korb called for the stoppage when it was evident that a dazed Salazar was unable to continue.

“I was in control the entire fight, and that’s what reduced him to turning around at times,” said the 27-year-old Adames. “I was working with the jab to the body at first so that was working, and then I came with the left hook. I did my job and followed my strategy from A to Z and was able to succeed the way I wanted to.

“The key moment of the fight was when I managed to disrupt his focus. Once I was able to do that then it was easy pickings for me.”

“I was feeling good in there and I thought I was winning rounds,” said Salazar, whose 15-fight win streak was put to an end with one punch. “But he started grabbing me and that’s when he got me with an uppercut. That swung the fight. I just have to get back to work and keep looking for more opportunities.”

In the opening bout of the SHOWTIME PPV telecast, den hårdtslående Batyr Akhmedov (9-1, 8 KOS) scored a TKO victory over former world champion Argenis Mendez (25-7-3, 12 KOS) in a 12-round WBA Super Lightweight Title Eliminator. Mendez suffered a right hand injury and did not get off his stool to come out for the ninth round. The official time of the stoppage was 3:00 of round number eight.

“The fight went as planned,” said Akhmedov, who overcame the first cut of his career over his left eye after an accidental head clash in the second round. “We were expecting a tough fight like that. I’ve been out of the ring for a long time, so I needed to get those rounds in. My plan is to fight for the world title next. We knew he would be uncomfortable to fight and tricky. He was headbutting and elbowing me. It was good experience for me.”

In the battle of Olympians, it was Akhmedov who pressed the action and was far busier from the onset. He went to the body early and often, landing 57 body punches, wearing Mendez down as the rounds passed by. The 30-year-old Akhmedov landed 115 af 306 power punches he threw, while the 34-year-old Mendez landed 84 sin 223 magt slag, including just 13 body connects. På tidspunktet for standsningen, Akhmedov was ahead on all three judges’ scorecards.

“Mendez is a tough guy who fights top fighters,” continued Akhmedov. “We knew it wouldn’t be a walk in the park. When I hurt him, my corner was telling me to slow down and take my time before going for the knockout.”

“I started feeling (injured) in the second and third round,” said a disappointed Mendez. “My knuckles were broken and I couldn’t throw a punch anymore after I cut him with my right hand in the first round. I tried to keep fighting from the fourth round on, men til ingen nytte. It was useless.”

Med sejren, Akhmedov keeps himself in the running for top fights in the deep 140-pound division. Mendez drops to 2-4-2 in last eight fights.

ATLANTA (Juni 23, 2021) – Four-time world champion Gervonta "Tank" Davis and undefeated WBA Super Lightweight Champion Mario "El Azteca" Barrios took part in a media workout to kick off fight week at the College Football Hall of Fame on Wednesday ahead of this Saturday’s blockbuster SHOWTIME PPV® begivenhed.

Tickets for the live event presented by Premier Boxing Champions are on sale now and available for purchase through Ticketmaster.com.

Here is what Davis, Barrios and the rest of the fighters in attendance had to say on Wednesday:

GERVONTA DAVIS

“I’m excited to be in this position to be able to give the fans what they want to see, which is an exciting fight. Atlanta showed me love the last time I came, so why not come back?

“This is one of my toughest fights on paper. I’ll be ready and hopefully he’ll be ready, and we’ll give the fans what they want to see.

“Las Vegas is definitely a boxing town. My team is there at Mayweather Promotions and I brought my personal team out there as well. We’re all a family. We train together, get along, and help each other.

“There is no pressure on me, I am just going out there to do my job. It’s just another day at the job for me. Hopefully he’s ready because I’m definitely ready and we can give the fans what they want to see, which is a knockout.

"[Kvarterer] is a young champion. I’m going up two weight classes to face him. If they don’t give me the respect after this, I don’t know what I have to do. It’s pretty cool. This is actually the first time I’m fighting at this weight class. Whatever opportunities they give me at 135, eller 140, I’ll take them.”

MARIO BARRIOS

“This is all brand new, but I’m taking it all in and excited to be in Atlanta. I’m just excited to go out there on Saturday and give everybody a great fight.

“No doubt about it, Tank is by far the toughest test for another title defense and I’m going to do whatever it takes to be successful on Saturday. There’s going to be fireworks on Saturday.

“This is a huge opportunity and I’m very excited for this chance. This is a very winnable fight for me, regardless of what everyone has been saying. I’m just excited to be back in the ring and in Atlanta.

“I think it’s not going to be until we both get in the ring that people realize how much size I really have for 140 pounds. Somehow, he’s still the favorite although he’s the challenger in this fight. I just take that as more motivation for me.

“Height-wise, reach. Those are the major advantages. I’m just as dangerous as he is. And just as explosive and just as fast. And I will show that on fight night.

“When they came to me, I said let’s do it but I was like, ‘I’m not going down to 135,’ and they said, ‘Nah, he’s going to come up.’ And I said, ‘Even better.’

“I’ve seen him fight plenty of times. He’s a great fighter and he’s been very successful at the lower weight divisions against the smaller opponents. But this is a different fight for him.

“I didn’t take too much from the Leo Santa Cruz fight. Jeg følte [Gervonta] fought him the way he did because he didn’t respect Santa Cruz’s power. But with our fight he’s going to have no choice and he’s not going to fight me the way he fought Santa Cruz. Whatever he does fight night, I’m going to have to adapt.

“I’ve been boxing just as long as he has and I have an excellent boxing IQ, just as he has. It only takes one punch to change a fight, and he definitely has that one punch. But I’ll find out if that power carries over to 140 pund. "

ERICKSON LUBIN

“We always work hard. Every camp is hard. It’s just that this time we added a little longer. We’ve been working since my last fight and I’m just so excited to go out there and display my talents.

“Me and Jeison Rosario, we’re both hungry. I just think I want it more and my preparation is going to speak for itself and the fans can only expect fireworks and the best of me.

“It’s not just one thing we’re working on; we’re working on everything to be our best. Everything is clicking on all cylinders right now. I feel I’m ready to fight. I’ve been ready to fight weeks ago. Everything is going to show on Saturday night.

“I’ve seen him fight against Charlo and others – I’ve seen enough. I know what I have to do to get him out of there. I’m a competitor and want to give the fans the best show.

“My loss affected me and motivated me big time. I know my abilities and I know what I’m capable of, so I just went back to the drawing board and took it all in. I understood how serious this sport is, and how unforgiving this sport is. So I knew I had to go out there and do things different to take my career to another level. That’s what I did.”

CARLOS ADAMES

“I felt great when I got the call to be on this card. I was very happy to get this opportunity.

“There are four corners in the ring, I am going to catch him eventually. Outside of the ring he may be able to run from me, but inside the ring he won’t be able to.

“It’s about a sense of responsibility. I’m always ready to fight regardless of how long I have to prepare. My responsibility is to always be ready whenever I am called upon to put on a good show for the fans.

“It’s a great opportunity and I’m very thankful to PBC and SHOWTIME for having me in consideration. I want to show what I am worth on Saturday.

“I know that my opponent is an aggressive fighter who throws a lot of punches with his right hand. I will be ready for anything. I have the capacity to adapt to whatever he wants to do, so I don’t care what he comes with because I am going to be ready.

“Being with PBC makes me feel closer to the belts. Now all I have to do is go in the ring and show what I am capable of to earn those belts as soon as possible.”

ALEXIS SALAZAR

“I had a lot of emotions when I learned I would be fighting on this card. Mere end noget andet, it was a dream come true because I have worked my entire life for this. I thank God for this opportunity and I’m going to take advantage of it.

“I can’t stay in front of my opponent for too long, I need to box against him. It’s what I know how to do and it’s what I’ve been preparing to do.

“I feel great and I feel really ready for this fight. This is my first time fighting in Atlanta, it’s a really nice city.

“It’s a great motivation for me to be moved up to the pay-per-view card. I feel more motivated to do what I know how to do. I train and work hard every day, so nothing’s new.

“I want to prove how ready I am and to reach new heights. I want to show people wherever you are from, it’s possible to reach your dreams. I train every day, and work hard every day and there is no better motivation for me than to work this hard and to fight on this stage.

“I’ve been getting great sparring and I’ve been training at Wild Card in Hollywood, and those guys are warriors. All my sparring partners are hungry and this past week they all showed it.

BATYR AKHMEDOV

“It is my first time being in Atlanta and it’s an honor for me to fight here on such a great card in front of such great people.

“Thank you so much for all of your support. I fought Mario in a World Title fight and went through a war, and now we work on the mistakes. I am ready to put on another performance, and I’ll do my best for the fans to enjoy an exciting fight.

“Under my coaches, Joel and Antonio Diaz, I have the best team in the world. It is a learning process every time whether it’s a win, lose, or draw. You have to make adjustments to your performances and that is what we did.

“I will do my best to bring the action and make the fans remember this fight. I already like the city of Atlanta. You can see right away that people like boxing here. It’s going to be a good card with good fights.

“I am very happy with the experience I have gotten in my previous fights and I expect it to help me in the future.”

Argenis Mendez

"Jeg føler stor, I’m very happy and very excited. I’m very happy to be here today and excited to leave with a victory.

“The most important thing is coming away with the victory. I am very focused on the fight this Saturday.

“The main event is really none of my business because in the end, I am focused on my fight. After Saturday night, I will care about whichever one of the two in the main event wins their fight because then they will be my next opponent.

“I think this will be an interesting fight because boxing has changed. Akhmedov is an Olympian, and despite the fact that he has fewer fights, he lost a controversial decision to Mario Barrios. I think this fight will present a lot of different challenges and it will be an interesting fight for everyone to see on Saturday night.

“My training was a bit peculiar in Manchester, England, which was a different setting for me. Jeg elskede hvert sekund af det. My coach couldn’t be here because of COVID-19 circumstances, but I am still supported by my team right here which is great. I’m really excited to show what I have been working on this Saturday night.”

Røveri på cannery! Scoring Woes Fortsæt i Las Vegas, da Eduardo Ramirez snydt af dårlig dømmekraft

Efterlad en kommentar
Barthelemy-Ramirez slutter i tvivlsomme tegninger
Et højt kor af boos ringede ud, da en anden kontroversiel beslutning i Las Vegas blev truffet i aftenens Leduan Barthelemy vs.. Eduardo Ramirez fjervægt kamp på Cannery Hotel & Casino i Las Vegas.
Ramirez, af Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico, syntes at have gjort mere end nok for at fortjene nikket over en sløv Barthélemy i den 10-runde fjervægt hovedbegivenhed i en Premier Boxing Champions “Cuba vs.. Mexico” TÅ TIL TÅ Tirsdag begivenhed, fjernsynet nationalt på FS1 & CHAMPIONS BOXING på FOX Deportes.
Efter 10 runder med bankende og jagter den udmattede cubanske rundt om ringen, lander ofte multi-punch kombinationer til hoved og krop, Ramirez og hjørne fejrede med rette deres velfortjente forstyrrede sejr… Men i Las Vegas boksning, intet er sikkert, især scoring.
Mens dommer Glen Trowbridge i det mindste var i stand til at vælge den rigtige vinder (men med for stram margin) på 96-94, de to andre scorede uforklarligt det skæve slag (Tim Cheatham) 95-95 og en utrolig 97-93 Barthelemy fra Patricia Morse Jarman.
Denne kontroversielle score er anden gang, at Las Vegas-dommere har lavet store fejl på nationalt tv på kort tid, da det kommer mindre end to uger efter, at Canelo vs.. GGG-scoringsdebakel.
Det er heller ikke første gang, Morse Jarman har været involveret i kontroversiel og meget tvivlsom scoring.
Hendes årtier med hovedskraberesultater inkluderer at have Fernando Vargas foran Oscar De La Hoya på tidspunktet for De La Hoyas sejr i 11. runde, samt at have Beibut Shumenov vindende 117-111 i en kamp mod Gabriel Campillo, som Campillo tydeligt dominerede og blev røvet. Også blandt hendes lange liste over fejltrin, Morse Jarman fik Marco Antonio Barrera til at slå Nasim Hamed med kun tre point i en kamp, ​​som alle betragtede (undtagen Morse Jarman) som en ensidig slag.
Med “tegne” Barthélemy flygter til 13-0-1, 7 KOS. Ramirez synker ufortjent til 20-0-3, 7 KOS.

LAS VEGAS (September 26, 2017) – Ubesejrede fjervægtere Leduan Barthelemy (13-0-1, 7 KOS) og Eduardo Ramirez (20-0-3, 7 KOS) kæmpede til en spændende split uafgjort i deres 10-runde slagsmål, der overskrifter Premier Boxing Champions TOE-til-tå tirsdage på FS1 og Boksning Championspå Fox Deportes Tirsdag nat fra Cannery Hotel & Casino i Las Vegas.
Frem og tilbage kampen så Barthélemy forsøge at udnytte sin længde tidligt, mens Ramirez kæmpede hårdt for at gøre skade på indersiden. Ved runde fire, Ramirez var begyndt at bryde igennem Barthélemys forsvar og ved den sjette runde forbandt han gentagne gange med Barthelemy uden svar på at score en kæmpe runde til hans fordel.
“Jeg ville presse ham hele vejen igennem og fjerne hans rækkevidde,” sagde Ramirez. “Jeg havde det godt hele kampen, og han skadede mig aldrig på noget tidspunkt. Jeg troede på mine færdigheder og klarede mig godt.”
“Det var meget hårdt, fysisk kamp for os begge,” Said Barthelemy. “Jeg følte ikke 100 procent, men jeg var i stand til at arbejde igennem det, og jeg følte mig aldrig såret under kampen. Han landede på mig, men jeg var i stand til at bevare roen.”
Barthelemy var i stand til at komme sig og begyndte at kvæle Ramirez's aggressivitet ved at dreje effektivt og lande slag fra forskellige vinkler. I sidste runde, de to krigere tyede til slagsmål på indersiden, med begge mænd lander store slag helt til den sidste klokke.
I sidste ende dommerne’ scoringer afspejlede den tætte karakter af kampen, da en dommer scorede kampen 97-93 for Barthelemy, mens en anden dommer scorede kampen 96-94 til Ramirez. Kampen blev erklæret en delt uafgjort, efter at den endelige score blev annonceret som 95-95.
“Jeg vil helt sikkert kæmpe ham igen,” Said Barthelemy. “Jeg er klar til endnu en stor kamp, ​​og jeg får den klare sejr denne gang.”
“Jeg troede, at jeg vandt kampen, det var en tæt kamp, ​​men jeg tror, ​​at jeg gjorde, hvad jeg skulle gøre for at vinde,” sagde Ramirez. “Jeg ville kæmpe med ham igen og slå ham endnu værre.”
Yderligere handling så en gang slået Alejandro Salinas (9-1, 8 KOS) var i stand til at optjene en enstemmig beslutning over den barske kriger Duarn View (12-1, 4 KOS) i deres otte runde super fjervægtskonkurrence.
Kampen blev defineret af tætte udvekslinger, der begyndte lige efter åbningsklokken, da Vue anklagede Salinas og forsøgte at navigere afstanden og slagsmål med Salinas. Tidevandet vendte hurtigt mod Salinas, der etablerede sin højre hånd og forbandt flere gange rent med Vue's hoved.
Vue stoppede ikke med at angribe og tvang Salinas til at variere sit angreb og tilføje store bogstaver og venstre kroge med sin effektive højre hånd. Mens Vue var i stand til at mærke Salinas, da han træt ind i de senere runder, det var ikke nok at komme tilbage i dommernes sind, da alle tre scorede kampen for Salinas med scoringer på 80-72, 79-73 og 77-75.
Åbningssiden Bryan Figueroa (13-0, 5 KOS) forblive ubesejret og vind en tæt beslutning over Ivan Jimenez (7-1-1, 4 KOS) i deres seks runde lette kamp.
Figueroa tog sin tid tidligt for at forsøge at udnytte sin højdefordel til at ramme Jimenez på afstand og i runde tre forbandt han på en hård venstre hånd, der bakkede op og forskudte sin modstander. Jimenez var i stand til at blive på benene, og havde til tider succes at komme indefra og slå Figueroa med kroge, men var ikke i stand til at lande konsekvent nok.
De brændende udvekslinger fortsatte gennem den sjette og sidste runde, hvor Figueroa til sidst tjente beslutningen om alle tre dommere’ scorecards efter score på 58-56.

Mexico” vil blive overskrevet af en 10-runde fjervægt hovedbegivenhed mellem ubesejret Leduan Barthelemy (13-0, 7 KOS) og også ubesejret Eduardo Ramirez (20-0-2, 7 KOS).

Saliner, som har bokset siden ni år og havde overstået 100 amatør kampe, siger, at hans utrolige højde kommer fra sin far / træner Freddy Fundoras cubanske side af familien. Hans mor er af mexicansk afstamning.
“Jeg har fætre på Cuba, der er syv meter høje,” sagde Fundora. “Jeg spiser meget, men af ​​en eller anden grund, Jeg kan ikke gå op i vægt. Kunne være fordi jeg altid træner.”
Naturligt, Fundora siger, at han bokser udefra og bruger sine naturlige gaver til at overvælde modstandere og til sidst stoppe dem. Han anerkender sin succes i ringen til sin far, der har været hans træner siden den første dag. “Han har altid været der for mig, og han er den største inspiration i mit liv. Han er den eneste person, jeg virkelig ser op til. Han er min træner og far og bedste ven; en god fyr.
Fundora siger, at han ikke ved meget om modstanderen Toney, men har arbejdet hårdt i Coachella Valley Boxing Club for at lande denne store salgsfremmende bump med en sejr. “Først og fremmest, Jeg vil gerne takke Sampson Boxing Promotions for at give mig muligheden for at fremvise mit talent, der er afledt af alt det hårde arbejde, som både mit team og jeg har lagt ned i så længe,” fortsatte Fundora. “Som 'Towering Inferno,’ min spilplan er ude af kontrol og kommer videre Tirsdag, September 26, på Cannery Casino & Hotel i Las Vegas.
“Den tabte kunst af professionalisme i bokseindustrien er noget, som arrangøren Sampson Lewkowicz baserer sit firma på,” sagde Freddy Fundora. “De samme værdier er kernen i Fundora Squad, og hvad vi er baseret på.”
“Jeg har ikke set ham kæmpe endnu,” Said Sampson Lewkowicz. “Men med et navn som Towering Inferno og den utrolige højde, Jeg vil holde øje med nøje. Hvis han er imponerende i sejr, Jeg ser frem til en lang forbindelse med Sebastian og hans far, Freddy. På bare 19 år, Sebastian har alle de fysiske gaver til at blive en stor styrke fra mellemvægt til tungvægt med alderen.”

Caleb Plant: 167 ¼ Pounds

AFSLUTTENDE citater:

 

DAVID Benavidez:

“I’m a little surprised the title shot came this early. My dad told me to be ready and if the opportunity came, I need be ready to show up.

 

"[Gavril] thinks I’m a kid, Jeg ved det. Jeg er 20 år, but I’m going to let him make the mistakes and let him come forward, then I’m going to take over.

 

“He’s never faced someone like me. I’ll let him think what he wants to think. I know what I can do. This is the biggest fight of my life and I have to take advantage.

 

“Leaving Phoenix was probably one of the best things I’ve ever done, especially for my boxing career.

 

“I can’t keep my mind away from boxing and I have to stay sharp because the fights are getting harder and harder.

 

“The last few fights have been tough and I can’t go in there just thinking about the knockout. I have to take them apart piece by piece. My approach has changed. I’m not going in there just wailing away like Mike Tyson. I’m going to dissect them.

 

“I see that he’s a pressure fighter and has good body work. He only has one speed and doesn’t have any other gears. I’ve watched a lot of film on him and feel like he has some weaknesses that I can expose. I’m going to end this in a knockout! Jeg er klar til at gå 12 runder, men jeg har tænkt mig at slå ham ud.

 

“I’ve dedicated myself the most I ever have for any fight this time. I had sparring partners exactly like Gavril.

 

“I feel comfortable at this weight, but I can see myself going up to 175 at some point, maybe three or four years from now.

 

“I know if I win I’m going to be the youngest super middleweight world champion ever. That’s just frosting on the cake.”

 

Ronald Gavril:

“Our camp was extended by two weeks because we were supposed to fight on Aug. 26. But the world title fight came up so we had to go for it.

 

“I’m going to make him fight. I’m a more experienced fighter and have a higher boxing IQ than my opponent.

 

“I’m not overlooking Benavidez. He’s a tough fighter and we know it. Min træner [Eddie Mustafa Muhammad] has been working with me on a game plan. I’m going to be ready for whatever he has to bring.

 

“It was a great camp and we had the best sparring partners, including Badou [Donkraft] and Jose Uzcategui.

 

“I’ve watched video of Benavidez. He throws lots of combinations and quick hands. They say he’s a highlight reel, but he will be exposed på fredag nat. "

 

J'LEON LOVE:

“I know I’ve had a year-long layoff, but I’ve always been in the gym just working on my mistakes and polishing my game. I’m past the prospect stage and now I’m a contender.

 

“He’s not as smart as me. Jeg kommer til at afgive en redegørelse. He’s going to try and bring the fight to me, but it doesn’t matter. I’ve had some bigger guys in sparring, lys sværvægtere.

 

“It’s easy to be comfortable, but I’ve learned from my mistakes. I’m blessed to have Floyd [Mayweather] in my life, but he won’t always be there. I have to be able to do some things for myself. Everyone knows Floyd has it all, but he still busts his ass and works hard.

 

“Theo Chambers is back training me now and I had to go back to Kronk Gin Detroit to let the dog come out. I started with him when I was 14 år.

 

“I want guys like James DeGale, and the winner of Benavidez and Gavril. Hvorfor ikke? I’m hungry for whatever. I’ll do whatever I have to do be world champion.

 

“Sometimes you need some time off and a layoff is good. I healed my mind and my body. We’ve worked on some things and now we are ready to put it on display. I’ve learned from my mistakes.

 

“Boxing just comes natural to me and I’m feeling really good about my chances Fredag nat. "

 

ABRAHAM HAN:

“I wasn’t always focused on my career, but I’ve gotten it back and my sister [current IBF women’s Featherweight World Champion] Jennifer is a big reason for that. I had to figure some things out. She beat my butt all the way through high school. Guys would see me with black eyes and know that she would beat the crap out of me. It was kind of embarrassing when you get beat up by your sister.

 

“This is a big opportunity for me. I lost two split decisions [to Sergio Mora and Fernando Guerrero] and both could have gone either way. I had the only knockdowns in both fights, but I was on the ‘B’ side so you know how it’s going to go.

 

“El Paso is trying to become a fight town and we have a lot of good trainers, but we still have a ways to go.

 

“I injured my shoulder a few years ago and couldn’t use my right shoulder so I started fighting more southpaw. I’ve done a lot of mixed martial arts growing up, and it hasn’t been hard switching from that to boxing.

 

“J’Leon Love has one of the best teams in boxing in Mayweather Promotions. I have to throw punches in bunches.”

 

CALEB PLANT

“I’m just going to go in there calm and relaxed as I always do and make adjustments as I need to. I could tell you everything I plan to do, or what could happen, but this this is boxing and everyone knows how it works. It depends on what’s going on inside the ring, and I will make adjustments.

 

“My opponent does different things and is very durable and comes to fight. We know he moves well and can do different things and be the aggressor. He has different dimensions. We’re not overlooking him.

 

“This isn’t the first time it’s happened, og det vil ikke være den sidste, having to face a different opponent than we trained for. At the end of the day it’s all about being able to make adjustments, in the ring and in life. I don’t expect anything less than an A-plus performance.

 

“I’m not taking this fight lightly. This is no joke. Boxing is life and death to me. It’s all I have and it’s been my whole entire life since I was nine years old. I don’t have anything else.”

 

ANDREW HERNANDEZ

“I’ve had about a week notice for this fight. Of course I’m going to say yes. I’m not going to run from any fighter or opportunity. Caleb is a tremendous prospect and they are talking about him fighting for a world title soon. So much opportunity can come from this.

 

"[Caleb] doesn’t have many weaknesses. He has good hand speed and pretty good power and very good defense. He’s the total package and I have my work cut out for me. But I’m very confident in myself and I hope I can take him into deep waters.

 

“Hopefully I will fight the best fight I can and pull off the upset.”

 

“I’ve had some upsets during my career. I’ve been doing this long enough and hopefully someday maybe I’ll fight for a world title and get a nice payday before it’s all said and done. I’m very hungry.”
