Here is what the fighters had to say Saturday from the Lexus Club at STAPLES Center:

Deontay Wilder

Here we go again. The only way for there to be a rematch was for there to be an exciting first fight. When I first met this man in the ring, it was amazing and inspiring to go up against such a skillful fighter. It was such a great experience for me and an honor for me to face him.

That first fight was a test for me to show me where my skill level was in the heavyweight division. He was the bogeyman in the heavyweight division for a reason. To this day, they still don’t fight him for a reason.

“Je suis le meilleur du monde. Je l'ai dit auparavant et je le dirai encore. I believe in that and I’ve proven that. I’ve proved so many people wrong and I still have to do it. That gives me the motivation and the will to keep going.

I created a bond with Ortiz fighting the first time because of our daughters. We were two fathers in the ring who had to battle it out for our families. There’s no better feeling than going to war against another gladiator.

There wasn’t really anything that I learned about myself in the first fight, but it was confirmation of something I had already known. I know what I can do and I believe in myself. I didn’t feel like I was proving anything to myself, it was just proving it to others.

We’re passionate about this and we want to give the fans the best fight possible. We will do that again because I never leave you without having a great time and giving you excitement. If you’ve never seen a boxing match before, I’m the person to come see. If you want to see excitement, this is the fight to be at. This is the fight to order.

I’m a true champion. A true champion can walk it like he talks it, and I walk it like I talk it every time. Sur Novembre 23 I expect to see everyone there or ordering it on pay-per-view, because I can’t wait.

LUIS ORTIZ

I’m very happy to have this opportunity at the rematch. Wilder had the courage to take the rematch and that’s a big part of why this is happening. I’m excited for this fight and I’m going to make the most of it.

There are no excuses from me. The first fight is over. Now we’re on to this fight. I’m going to get the victory. There are things that are being done differently, but it will all be decided in the ring.

I’m focused on this fight and only this fight. I’m not a man of many words, but the opportunity is here and it was destined to be. Here we go.

A warrior doesn’t abandon his mission. My mission is to become world champion. I’ve trained very hard since my loss and it will all culminate on November 23.

I won’t make the same mistake this time like I made in the last fight. I’m going to be more prepared, more aggressive and have more of everything. I’m taking it all up a level.

There was no reason for me not winning the first fight, it just is what it is. We knew that one of us was going to get knocked out. I have that same sentiment for the rematch. This fight is not going 12 tours.

I want November 23 to get here sooner than later. I’m ready to step into the ring and do the job and become heavyweight world champion.

LEO SANTA CRUZ

I work hard for every fight and it’s going to be the same for this fight. This opportunity came to fight for the 130-pound title and I’m excited to fight for it. I want to become a four-division world champion.

I’m going to see how I feel at 130. If I’m strong I definitely feel like I will have more fights there. My goal right now is to win this world title. That’s what I’m focused on.

I’m very happy and excited to have this opportunity to become a four-division world champion. My goal when I began boxing was just to become a world champion. To go for a fourth time is an even bigger dream.

Miguel Flores is a tough fighter and I don’t underestimate him. I know it’s going to be a hard fight. Il va venir avec tout ce qu'il a. It’s the opportunity of his lifetime.

I’m really motivated like this is my first world title. This is something big for me. It will help me be remembered as one of the best Mexican fighters and that’s my goal.

“Plus important, we’re going to give the fans a great show on fight night. To be the co-main event for Deontay Wilder is amazing. He always gives a great show, but my job is to give everyone even more excitement.

MIGUEL FLORES

They say you don’t get second chances in life, but I am getting that and I’m very grateful. Tout arrive pour une raison. This fight was meant to happen and I plan to take full advantage of it.

“Être à 130 ou 126 doesn’t make a difference to me when fighting Leo, it’s still the same guy. He started his career at 118 anyway and I’ve had it in my brain for so long about how I’m going to beat him.

The strategy is to outdo him in anything. Outsmart him, out hustle him and just be able to do it all. He does everything well and he’s a veteran. I know he has tricks under his sleeve, but we need to be ready for that and have something ready to go back at him.

This is an even bigger stage being the co-main event to the heavyweight championship of the world in Las Vegas. Everything has worked out perfect for me. That wasn’t my mentality when the injury happened, but now it all makes sense.

I want to be able to be the guy. By beating Leo, I become the guy. It’s both of our jobs to turn everyone into believers. Après ce combat, everyone is going to know this was a great fight.

Our focus is on Leo Santa Cruz. Novembre 23 is all that’s on my mind. A lot of people don’t know how good my boxing skills are and how crafty I can be in the ring. They’re going to be in for a surprise.

Boxing’s Longest Reigning Heavyweight Champion Battles Dangerous Cuban Puncher to Settle Score After Epic First Clash

Tickets on Sale Now!

LAS VEGAS (Septembre 28, 2019) – Boxing’s longest reigning heavyweight world championDeontay “Le Bomber Bronze” Wilderwill take on his most dangerous challenger to date when he defends his WBC title in a rematch against once-beaten Cuban sluggerLuis “King Kong” Ortiz in the main event of the FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View Saturday, Novembre. 23 au Garden Arena MGM Grand à Las Vegas.

Three-division champion and current WBA Featherweight ChampionLion “Tremblement de terre” Santa Cruz will seek a title in another division in the co-main event when he takes onMiguel “El Michoacan” Fleurs for the WBA Super Featherweight Championship as part of the pay-per-view action beginning at 9 p.m. HE / 6 h, heure. PT.

Wilder and Ortiz will renew the rivalry they set in motion when they first engaged in an explosive showdown in Brooklyn that was one of 2018’s best fights. Wilder won that bout by 10e round TKO after Ortiz stunned him and almost had him out in the seventh round. The thrilling match featured plenty of twists and turns to necessitate a rematch.

With a combined 66 KOs en 74 allumettes, Wilder vs. Ortiz II is a heavyweight duel that guarantees an awesome display of punching power. The first fight last year saw Wilder dropping Ortiz in the fifth round, Ortiz stunning and hurting Wilder in a seventh round that he won 10-8 on all the judges’ cartes, and Wilder eventually dropping Ortiz again with a powerful right uppercut that forced the referee to stop the bout in the 10e tour.

We are thrilled to add this phenomenal heavyweight rematch between Deontay Wilder and Luis Ortiz to an exciting month of entertainment at MGM Grand,” Richard Sturm, President of Las Vegas Live Entertainment and Sports, dit. “We can’t wait for fight fans to witness what is sure to be a ‘knockoutof an evening at the Grand Garden Arena.

Wilder (41-0-1, 40 KOs), a bronze medal winner for the U.S. boxing team at the 2008 Jeux Olympiques, has more than lived up to the nicknameThe Bronze Bomber.The 33-year-old Wilder has knocked out all but one of the men that he has faced in the ring, making him one of the most feared single-punch knockout artist in boxing today.

The most active heavyweight champion in the sport, this will be Wilder’s third title defense in 11 mois. He is coming off a highlight-reel first round knockout of Dominic Breazeale in Brooklyn on May 18. Before that had one of the most dramatic matches of 2018 when he dropped Tyson Fury twice, including a stunning knockdown in the 12e tour, on the way to a split draw last December.

Born and still living and training in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Wilder will return to fight at MGM Grand in Las Vegas for the first time since he won the heavyweight title with a dominant 12-round decision over Bermane Stiverne on January 17, 2015. The victory had even more significance for Wilder because it came on the birthday of his boxing idol, Muhammad Ali. The rematch against Ortiz will be his 10e défense de titre.

When I fought Ortiz not only did he have the pedigree, but also he had the classification of being the boogeyman of the division,” Saïd Wilder. “I agree with those who say that Luis Ortiz was my toughest fight to date. No one wanted to fight him and they still don’t. In the rematch there’s more confidence and more motivation to do what I have to do. I’ve already seen the style before. It’s going to make it more fun. I can’t wait to see how he tries to handle me when I’m at my best.

This is the second big fight for me under my company, BombZquad Promotions, and I’m very happy about that. We still have a lot of work to do to build it into the kind of company that I know it’s going to be in the future, but it’s coming along. To be able to do a FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View at MGM Grand in Las Vegas under my own banner is fantastic.

Ortiz (31-1, 26 KOs) has ripped off three-straight victories since suffering the only loss of his career in that first match with Wilder in 2018, including most recently winning a unanimous decision over Christian Hammer on March 2. Le gaucher, who was born in Camaguey, Cuba and now lives in Miami, is one of the most avoided heavyweight contenders in boxing because of his vicious knockout power and crafty southpaw boxing skills. In the first fight with Wilder, Ortiz hurt Wilder with a textbook counter right hook that nearly made him the first Cuban heavyweight world champion.

En dehors de l'anneau, Wilder and Ortiz share a common bond-they’re both motivated to fight for their daughters. Wilder’s oldest daughter, Naieya, was born with spina bifida, motivating Wilder to take up boxing to pay for her medical expenses. Ortiz’s daughter, Lismercedes, has a painful skin condition called epidermolysis bullosa, which results in painful skin blistering and Ortiz has worked to raise awareness for.

I have to give Deontay Wilder a lot of credit for taking this fight because it shows he has the heart of a true champion,” Ledit Ortiz. “He is not at all scared to take a dangerous fight, because let’s be honest, this is the most dangerous fight for him. In my opinion, he’s the best heavyweight in the world until someone beats him, and that’s exactly what I’m going to do on November 23 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View. ‘King Kongis coming to Las Vegas!”

A three-division world champion fighting out of Los Angeles, Santa Cruz (36-1-1, 19 KOs) holds the WBA featherweight title and will be making his debut at super featherweight and seeking a title in a fourth weight class. The 31-year-old has been a dominant force in the featherweight division since 2015, including two thrilling featherweight title duels against Abner Mares and Carl Frampton each. He lost the belt in his first match against Frampton in 2016, mais l'ont récupéré dans leur match revanche l'année suivante. Santa Cruz has competed in title bouts in 16 de son dernier 18 combats, en ramassant les ceintures à 118, 122 and 126-pounds and is coming off a unanimous decision victory over Rafael Rivera in his last fight in February on FOX.

When I first started boxing my dream was to be a world champion and I’ve been fortunate to win three different world championships in three different divisions,” ledit Santa Cruz. “I couldn’t imagine winning championships in four divisions. It’s something I never really dreamed of and I’m very happy about this opportunity.

I know Flores is another tough Mexican boxer like me. He always comes forward, so it’s going to be a fun fight for the fans. I’m really looking forward to fighting again in Las Vegas at MGM Grand. It’s going to be a really exciting atmosphere because you have Deontay Wilder and Luis Ortiz in a heavyweight championship fight, and Deontay always knocks his opponents out, but we’re hoping that our fight will steal the night.

Fleurs (24-2, 12 KOs) was originally scheduled to fight Santa Cruz for the featherweight title in February, but severely sprained his ankle in training and had to withdraw from the fight. Né au Mexique, but raised in and fighting out of Houston, Flores rose up the rankings with victories over Ryan Kielczweski, Ruben Tamayo and Mario Briones. After suffering a loss to Dat Nguyen and seeking to rebound, Flores was ahead on the scorecards against Chris Avalos in a fight on FS1 when the contest was stopped due to a cut on Floreseyebrow that was controversially ruled to have come from a punch. Flores bounced back from that loss to stop Raul Chirino in April 2018 and also scored a TKO victory against Luis May in his most recent fight on June 29 after the ankle injury.

I’m extremely excited to be getting this opportunity once again to fight Leo Santa Cruz and win a world title,” Saïd Flores. “Being the co-main event on this FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View card with Wilder vs. Ortiz headlining is incredible. This is a dream come true for me, and I’m going to take advantage of the situation. This moment in my life is something I’ve envisioned since I was a kid. On November 23, you will see the best version of myself as I plan to be in the best shape of my life, with the goal of becoming a world champion, and what better way to do it than in Las Vegas at MGM Grand. Leo and I are going to put on a great show, que vous pouvez garantir.”

épreuve de force titre poids moyen de week-end dernier entre Canelo Alvarez et Daniel Jacobs a également présenté l'Expo Fan annuelle Box, tenue au Centre des congrès de Las Vegas. Les souvenirs étonnants sur l'affichage et l'action en direct de boxe amateur complété une série de combattants passés et présents champion du monde disponible pour répondre rapidement et Salue.

En tant que fan de boxe vie, il était dommage que je n'avais un peu plus de deux heures pour passer à l'événement avant de retourner à l'aréna T-Mobile pour le début des combats undercard. Le temps que j'ai pu passer était très agréable. Les prix étaient raisonnables pour répondre à ces légendes fistic et ont quelques instants pour parler et prendre des photos. La moyenne $20 -$25 Prix ​​pour une séance photo était beaucoup moins que ce qui aurait été perdu au casino en un seul tour de roulette.

James Toney était là dans un costume, prouvant qu'il peut même faire élégant look à carreaux. Pour un gars connu pour une nature revêche, il était très accommodant et a dit qu'il sera à Philadelphie pour un spectacle en direct sur Juin 7 et l'espoir de me voir là-bas.

Dans le stand d'à côté était Hall of Fame diffuseur Al Berstein, qui j'ai eu le privilège d'interviewer en 2011. Quand on lui dit de mon admiration pour son travail de classe et d'être un fan depuis ses jours avec Barry Tompkins sur Combats jeudi soir ESPN, il était humble et reconnaissante.

La ligne de rencontrer Roy Jones Jr. était longue, mais la peine d'attendre. Alors que le temps de parler avec Roy était courte, J'ai pu mentionner quel honneur il devait rencontrer l'un des plus grands artistes de ma génération et comment je me suis assis à quelques pieds de lui quand il était sur le plateau Creed II.

Alors que la ligne de rencontrer le légendaire Sugar Ray Leonard était exceptionnellement longue, on pouvait voir qu'il était vraiment s'amuser, ce sourire clignotant millions de dollars et faire ses poings surelevees célèbre séance photo avec les fans. Malheureusement, avec peu de temps en cours d'exécution, Je n'ai pas eu l'occasion de rencontrer un de mes combattants préférés grandir. J'aurais aimé avoir montré une photo de lui quand j'étais âgé de quatre ans, se balancer loin sur le sac de boxe Sugar Ray Leonard m'a donné.

Quelques pieds était l'un des rivaux les plus célèbres de Sugar Ray, le grand Thomas « Hitman » Hearns. Alors que le Hitman a montré un certain ralentissement comme il a vieilli, il prouve encore être une figure imposante, mais il remplace maintenant que l'éblouissement redoutable avec un sourire chaleureux.

Également à venir pour rencontrer Thomas Hearns actuelle IBF des super-champion poids plume Tevin Fermier, un camarade Philadelphian, qui j'ai eu l'occasion de regarder passer d'un 7-4-1 à un boxeur journeyman 29-4-1 champion du monde.

Ma visite ne serait pas complète sans arrêter pour voir « Le diable Pazmanian » Vinny Paz, toujours l'un de mes combattants d'action favoris et des personnalités charismatiques. Au lieu d'une poignée de main, il m'a accueilli avec un gros câlin et a exprimé sa déception que mon père ne me joindre à l'expo.

Dans le court laps de temps, il était impossible de répondre à tous les grands combattants y compris Michael Spinks, Riddick Bowe, Errol Spence, Anthony Dirrell, et Rasoirs Earnie. Avec ce week-end étant Cinco de Mayo, les lignes pour quelques-unes des légendes mexicaines enroulé autour du rez-de-centre de congrès. Mikey Garcia, Marco Antonio Barerra, Erik Morales, et Juan Manuel Marquez tous prouvé être exceptionnellement populaire. Mais rien comparé au bruit de la foule pro-mexicaine quand le grand Julio Cesar Chavez a été introduit.

Assister à cet événement était un rêve devenu réalité et je ne pouvais voudrais avoir plus de temps pour passer à l'événement. Tout était si professionnellement fait et les personnes présentes étaient au-delà accueillir.

Kudos à Expo Fan Box pour un tel événement exceptionnel.

Leo Santa Cruz VS. RAFAEL RIVERA FINAL PRESS CONFERENCE QUOTES & PHOTOS


PBC sur la FOX & FOX Deportes Headlined by Featherweight World Champion Leo Santa Cruz Taking on Mexico’s Rafael Rivera This Saturday Night from Microsoft Theater at L.A. Live in Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES (Février 14, 0219) – There was no love lost on Valentine’s Day in Los Angeles as fighters competing on Saturday’s Premier Boxing Champions on FOX and FOX Deportes exchanged words and went face-to-face at the final press conference before their respective showdowns this Saturday night at Microsoft Theater at L.A. En direct.

WBA champion du monde poids plume Leo Santa Cruz will defend his title against Mexico’s Rafael Rivera in the main event of the show. Coverage begins at 8 p.m. ET / 5 h, heure. PT and will feature an exciting clash between contenders Omar Figueroa etJohn Molina Jr., plus unbeaten prospects Sebastian Fundora et Donnie Marshall going toe-to-toe.

Billets pour le spectacle, qui est promu par Promotions et sports TGB Ringstar, sont maintenant en vente, and can be purchased at AXS.com.

The event also featured an appearance by former world champion and Southern California fan-favorite Fernando Vargas. Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday from the Conga Room:

LEO SANTA CRUZ

We were getting ready for Miguel Flores, but in the gym you have to always be ready for any kind of style. We had been already been working with sparring partners who brawl, and that’s what we expect from Rafael Rivera.

I knew immediately that Rivera was a good opponent. He’s young and hungry and that makes him dangerous. He can take punches, so we’re ready for 12 tours. We’re going to be smart in this fight because we know what Rivera can do.

Seeing my dad going through cancer treatment has been very tough. He motivates me to go to the gym and train hard, because I know if he sees me working hard, it will motivate him as well.

I’m just looking to go out there, give a great fight and help my name continue to grow so that I can fight the best.

I love fighting and training here in Los Angeles. It gives me a chance to be with my family more. When I have them here, it makes me train harder. I do all of this for them and their future.

If I can get this win, we want to unify the belts or make the third fight against Carl Frampton. Dans le cas contraire, we will go to 130 pounds and seek a title in a new weight class.

RAFAEL RIVERA

I’ve stepped in late before to a big fight. I’m always ready when it comes. Expect a surprise come Saturday night.

I know that I have everything it takes to bring this title back to Tijuana. We’ve trained hard and had these last four weeks to focus in on breaking Leo down.

I’m prepared for anything Leo brings into the ring. Everyone knows he’s very tough and throws a lot of punches, but I believe I am the faster fighter and I can hurt him with counters.

This is the best opportunity I’ve had, going up against a great champion like Leo. I’m ready for fight and a great show for the fans.

Omar Figueroa

Given our styles, there’s no way this is going to go the distance. I think this is going to be an early night and I’m planning on having my hand raised.

The layoff didn’t affect me against Robert Guerrero, so I don’t see why it will affect me now. That’s why I keep my style consistent. The only difference is the character across from me in the ring. This fight will depend on how John wants it to go, because I’m coming to fight.

I’m just looking to get in the ring and take advantage of this opportunity I’ve been given. I’ve made changes that have made my whole game so much easier. It’s a totally different mentality that I have now.

“Le camp d'entraînement se est bien passé. I’ve made a lot of changes in my lifestyle and I’m dedicated 100 percent to boxing. Things have never been better.

John Molina JR.

It’s time to fight. The hard work is done and the time is now. Talk is cheap. Le samedi soir, we’ll get down.

I’ve been down this road before. I was never given lofty expectations. There’s no pressure here. I think Omar’s style will accommodate mine and make it a fun fight for the fans.

Whenever I fight, it’s going to be exciting. You can say the same thing about Omar. I’m prepared for any version of Omar. Just like any other fight. I can’t wait until Saturday night to get in there and do what I do best.

I’ve put everything into this camp, like I’m sure my opponent has. That’s what we owe to the fans and it’s going to come to fruition Saturday night.

SEBASTIAN FUNDORA

I expect a good fight. He’s an undefeated fighter and I hope to give the fans a great show and walk away victorious.

We’re totally focused on this fight. I just train and everything else is out of the way. I trained hard and I’m going to do my thing like always.

I’m still growing as a fighter. We’re getting better with every camp and every fight. It’s good that we keep fighting quality opponents, because it helps accelerate that process.

Hopefully we’re going to display a lot more boxing and technique in this fight. I think Marshall is going to come inside and attack the body. I think if I’m able to stop him, it will be from the boxing skills that I show.

DONNIE MARSHALL

I’m ready to dominate the fight like I always do. That’s the only thing on my mind. I don’t care about his height, record or anything else. I’m coming to dominate.

I’ve never been concerned with the height of Fundora. We sparred with some good strong southpaws in Florida including Yamaguchi Falcao. Then we went to Las Vegas for the second half of training camp and worked with some top prospects. I’m more than prepared for anything.

Every fight is a make or break fight. I’ve trained against top fighters and been all around the country in different gyms. I’ve only been pro two and a half years. Je suis un jeune 30. I’m going to announce myself on Saturday in a big way.

RICHARD SCHAEFER, Président-directeur général de Sport Ringstar

This weekend is another example why Los Angeles is such a great fight town. We’re going to have a fantastic crowd at Microsoft Theater at L.A. Live on Saturday night. I think that speaks to the strength of this city as a boxing town, and the strength of this card. This is top to bottom one of the best cards I can remember here in Los Angeles.

The tripleheader on FOX and FOX Deportes has three fights that want to steal the night. We will see which fight and which fighter everyone will be talking about after Saturday. There are definitely some fights on this card that have ‘Fight of the Yearwritten all over them.

We are committed to continuing to bring the best and biggest fights to the fans here in Los Angeles, because Los Angeles is the fight capital of the world again.

The fighters will go face-to-face at a press conference on Thursday that will feature former two-time world champion and Southern California favorite Fernando Vargas. Voici ce que les combattants avaient à dire mercredi:
 
RAFAEL RIVERA
 
When I got this opportunity, Je ne pense pas deux fois. I was training and ready and I wanted this challenge. I’m here to make the most of it.
 
Like I always say to my fans, be ready for a great fight. I’m looking to make this very exciting and interesting. The belt is coming back with me to Tijuana.
 
I never look for the knockout, but I’ve still been able to get them. Je suis prêt, so I hope he’s also ready to give the fans a great fight.
 
“C'est un gros défi pour moi. I’m coming for that world title. I want to prove how good I am and become a world champion for my fans in Tijuana.
 
I love to face the best fighters out there. Leo is a fighter who throws a lot of punches. We’ve seen it and we’ve studied it. But I don’t think he’s very fast. I’m faster than he is and I have to take advantage of that. I have to counter him when he comes in and do my job.
 
Omar Figueroa
 
I’m looking to come back strong against Molina. My style is always to go in there for the knockout and give the fans a great show. The sooner we get him out of there, le meilleur.
 
We know that John Molina is a tough fighter. He’s been in there with some of the best in the world and he’s given them problems. We expect him to bring a great fight.
 
We’ve seen Molina box before and make things difficult for certain fighters. I’m going to try to make the fight my style of fight and we’ll see if he obliges. Once he feels the power, he might choose to box.
 
I don’t think this goes past six rounds. I’m confident about that. We’re going to be ready for anything Molina brings.
 
I’ve been doing a lot of healing physically, mentalement et spirituellement. I’m looking to show on Saturday that I’ve got everything together.
 
John Molina JR.
 
I feel excited and confident. Maybe overconfident, mais je suis prêt. We did our job in the gym and now we are ready for the fight.
 
I have to expect the best version of Omar Figueroa. He is a smart kid. I don’t know if he is trying to entice me into a war right away. I don’t know what his game plan is, but we will find out on Saturday.
 
Fans need to tune in on FOX and FOX Deportes February 16. This is going to be a war and I believe we’re going to steal the show.
 
This isn’t my first go around against a Joel Diaz-trained fighter. I did it before with Ruslan Provodnikov and now it is my job to beat Figueroa.
 
I am not affected by being considered the underdog. Every one of my fights, fans make money. I think Provodnikov I was 11-1. When you become a veteran in the sport, you stop worrying about stuff like that. Talk is cheap.
 
There is a lot at stake for me. I don’t feel pressure, but there is a lot at stake. Every fight of my career I have something to prove and Saturday is no different.
 
DONNIE MARSHALL
 
This is my first big opportunity and I’m ready to take full advantage. I’m going to show everybody where I’m at.
 
I’m going to take it as it comes in the ring. We have a game plan, but I’m a creator in the ring. I create on the go. I’ll fit in where I can and go with the flow of the fight.
 
The only challenge I see is his height. He’s obviously very tall at six-foot seven-inches. We know what we have to do to break him down. I don’t even really see the height as a challenge, because I spar with heavyweights all the time.
 
“Je suis 10-0, but I only started boxing when I was 20, sur 10 il y a des années. I don’t have the time like young prospects who want to play around, I want to fight any and everybody I can right now.
 
KARLOS Balderas
 
I feel excited and anxious to get back in the ring. I’m ready physically and mentally. I know that my opponent won’t be ready for the heat I’m going to throw at him.
 
This year I’m looking to be busy. I want to be back in the ring in April if everything goes well on Saturday. After this fight I’m going to move to Los Angeles and add trainer Roberto Alcazar to my team. He’s had a lot of experience in big fights and I think he’s going to be a great help. I can really understand clearly what he’s trying to teach me.
 
I’m going to show everyone that I’m the real deal once again. I’m going to prove why these fighters can’t make it through a fight with me. This year is all business for me.

LOS ANGELES (Février 5, 2019) – WBA champion du monde poids plume Leo Santa Cruz, one of Los Angelesmost popular boxing stars, hosted a media workout at Fortune Gym in Hollywood Tuesday as he nears his primetime showdown againstRafael Rivera that headlines Premier Boxing Champions on FOX and FOX Deportes Saturday, Février 16 at Microsoft Theater at L.A. Live in Los Angeles.

Billets pour le spectacle, qui est promu par Promotions et sports TGB Ringstar, sont maintenant en vente, and can be purchased at AXS.com.

Santa Cruz, who was joined by his father and trainer Jose Santa Cruz, showed off the skills that have made him a can’t-miss attraction. Santa Cruz was originally scheduled to face Miguel Flores, but he was replaced by Rivera after Flores suffered an injury in training.

Here is what the workout participants had to say Tuesday in Hollywood:

LEO SANTA CRUZ

We kept our training camp going despite the change of opponent. We always train the same no matter who the opponent is.

We spar against fighters who have every different kind of style, because the opponent could always bring something new to the ring. My dad tells me to always be prepared for any kind of style. We are ready for whatever the opponent brings into the ring.

I’m always staying in shape whether I’m in the gym training for a fight or not. When they call us and tell us what the fight is, we’re always ready.

I know that Rivera has fought some good opponents like Joseph Diaz and Joet Gonzalez, and he’s gone the distance with them. He’s given them tough battles. He’s shown that he’s a tough fighter who will leave everything in the ring.

This isn’t going to be an easy fight. Rivera is tougher than people have given him credit for in the past. It motivates me to try to be the first to knock him out. If I have the opportunity for it, I’m going for it. Most important though, is to come out of there with the victory.

Sometimes when my dad is having tough days dealing with the cancer, I want to stay at home with him, but he tells me to go to the gym and train hard. So I tell him that we’re going to work hard for him. We both motivate each other.

“(Champion poids plume WBC) Gary Russell Jr. is the fight that I want. He beat me in the amateurs, but in the pros I get 12 tours. I think that I can beat him.

JOSE SANTA CRUZ, Leo’s Father & Entraîneur

We didn’t worry too much about the opponent change. I don’t think it makes too much of a difference. Leo is going to be at his best and ready for whoever steps into that ring.

We didn’t let the change effect our routine. We continued the same preparations as always so Leo is ready to fight. We respect every opponent too much to ever fall behind in conditioning.

I think this is going to be a good fight. Leo is always very competitive and any time he can win a fight he knows it will be big for his career.

Leo is 30-years-old right now and I think that he will be retired by 35. He has a lot left to accomplish in this sport and our team is going to keep pushing him to be the best that he can.

RICHARD SCHAEFER, Président & PDG de Sport Ringstar

Top to bottom this is just a great card. It’s going to be toe-to-toe action downtown at L.A. En direct. It’s an affordable ticket at $30, and that gives you the chance to see one of the stars of the sport in a slugfest.

Leo Santa Cruz always brings great action and drama when he enters the ring. You have to be on the edge of your seat during a Leo Santa Cruz fight and I expect nothing less next Saturday night. Rafael Rivera has nothing to lose in this fight, and that is the recipe for a tremendous showdown.

Boxing at Microsoft Theater has caught on. That fight in January between Caleb Plant and Jose Uzcategui had a great atmosphere and it is just a beautiful place to watch the fights. Microsoft Theater is becoming the indoor ‘war groundsof boxing.

TOM BROWN, Président de TGB Promotions

Rafael Rivera put up a great fight against Joseph Diaz Jr., and he came back against Joet Gonzalez and lost a split-decision, but he really won that fight. Rivera should only have one loss on his record.

Rivera is going into this fight with the same granite chin that he showed everyone against Diaz. He was prepared and ready when the call came for this fight. He’s a great replacement. Leo better be ready and not take him lightly.
