After the Belfast press conference, the fighters and their teams flew to the U.S. to meet with the media at an open to the public event at the outdoor plaza at the Los Angeles Central Public Library.

Here is what the participants had to say at the two events:

CARL Frampton

From Los Angeles:

“This rematch with Leo Santa Cruz is going to be an amazing one. The first one was considered a ‘Fight of the Year’ and I don’t think this can be any different. We’re going to kick-off 2017 paugu.

“Leo is an amazing fighter and I want to thank him for giving me the chance to fight for his title in July. I was more than happy to give him the rematch straight away. These are the types of fights I want to be involved in.

“I thought I won the first fight. I don’t think it was controversial at all. I think I won the fight by three or four rounds. They were definitely close, competitive rounds, but I think I was doing more to win rounds and get the nod. This one is going to be more of the same.

“Las Vegas is obviously a bit closer to home for Leo and I’m sure he’ll bring a lot of fans. But I’m bringing at least 4,000 from the UK. Right now I’m the most well-supported fighter in the UK. It’s a great privilege for me.

“When I fight people, I feel like I improve the second time. I have a good boxing brain and I can adapt to different situations. The only person I’ve fought twice as a pro was Kiko Martinez and the second time I fought him I won comfortably. Because I learned from the first fight. I know everything about Leo. He fights the same way every single time.

“I think our styles just gel really well together. You can expect a great night with a really huge undercard from start to finish.

“I know his training may not have been as focused last time as it could have been because of his father. I expect a better Leo Santa Cruz. But in terms of how he fights, I think he’ll fight the same way. It’s a good way to fight and it’s gotten him far. He usually wears people down, but I have serious punching power and that again could be the difference.

“If you want people to remember you in 20 või 30 years’ time, you need to fight guys like Leo Santa Cruz. We’ve already been working very hard in the gym and we’re going to do whatever it takes to make sure I remain the champion and bring the title back home to Ireland.”

From Belfast:

“It’s always good to be here in Belfast and see the people. It’s good for them to see great fighters like Leo Santa Cruz in their hometown.

“This is going to be a dream come true. It won’t all sink in until I’m out there and ready to perform. Las Vegas is the mecca of boxing. It’s where all the big names go. I’m expecting a big support base from all over the UK and Ireland on Jaanuar 28.

“I feel like no matter who I fight, I always get better the second time. I have a good boxing brain and I can adapt to my opponent’s style and use it to my advantage. If you’ve seen me in sparring, if I have a dodgy performance, you know I will get better the second time.

“I know how Leo fights, and he knows how I fight. But I can adapt and make changes. I can be a bit more clever than I was last time. I got dragged into the fight more than I wanted to.

“Headlining in New York against a great fighter like Leo Santa Cruz was a dream come true. Now I have the opportunity to go to Las Vegas, where Leo has fought a few times. It’ll be his first time in the main event there as well and I’m just excited to get out there and feel the buzz of fight week.

“I think this fight could be even better. I gave him his first loss and I’m sure he’s going to come looking for his revenge. But I’m training very hard. I’m in good shape for this point in camp.

“There’s no doubt that Leo went through a difficult time with his father’s illness. I also know that Leo trained very hard anyway. He threw about a thousand punches last fight and was throwing all the way to the end. You can’t throw much more than that so I don’t think he’s going to improve his work rate.

“I believe he’ll come up with a different game plan but I genuinely believe that I’ll be able to deal with anything he brings to the ring. Ta ei kavatse olla lihtne võitlus, but I’ll do whatever it takes to win and I believe I will.

“Leo Santa Cruz is a tough fighter with a solid chin. But I believe that if I hit any featherweight, or super featherweight, with a clean shot, that I can knock them out. If I’m a little bit cleaner, then I could knock him out. But I’ll be prepared to go a hard 12 vooru.

“I believe if I use my brain a little bit more in this one, and don’t get dragged into his fight, that I can win it more convincingly. But there will be times in this fight where I’ll just have to bite down and fight for my life.

“I’m prepared for anything. I’m ready to keep this title in Belfast and then I’m going to return here for a show in Belfast in the summer.”

LEO SANTA CRUZ

From Los Angeles:

“Carl Frampton is a great fighter. He has the respect of the fans because he has proven that he’s a great champion. I know it’s going to be another very close and exciting fight.

“We both train really hard for our families and for the fans. We want to give you all a great show. I know that this rematch is going to be very tough.

“I learned from the first fight that every little mistake really matters. One or two could really cost you. I trained hard but without my dad he wasn’t pressuring me like I’m used to. Those things come back to haunt you. It hurt, but it taught me that I have to leave it all in the ring and work every day for what I want.

“We’re going to be mentally and physically ready. I’m getting more motivation from having him there. We’ll be making some little changes and we’re going to do a lot better.

“I’m motivated to get my belt back. I was a champion and now I’m a former champion. That makes me unhappy. We’re going to train hard and do our best to become a champion again.

“We’re going to go to the gym and train hard to make this fight even better than the first one.”

From Belfast:

“This is a very nice city and when I knew there would be a rematch, I wanted to come to Belfast. This is the first time I’ve been to Europe.

“It was a very hard fight and right after it was over, the first thing that came to my head was a rematch.

“Las Vegas is a lot closer to my hometown and I feel very comfortable fighting there. Carl Frampton has a lot of fans though, and they’re going to fly over to Vegas. I think it will be a pretty even crowd and I don’t see it as an advantage for anyone.

“It was a pretty close fight the first time. When you’re in the ring you’re only worried about fighting. It could have gone either way. I thought being the champion, that it should have gone my way. But I won’t take anything away from Frampton. We’re looking to the future and beating him in the rematch.

“The fans here have made me feel very welcome since the first fight. I feel comfortable here. I’m excited to be here in Belfast with these great fans.

“I was disappointed but it was a very close fight the first time. He had the bigger crowd and the Irish people would scream for everything he did. It was a really good close fight though. I really think it could have gone either way.

“Carl Frampton is a great fighter and I knew it would be a tough fight. I didn’t get to train for that fight like I was supposed to. My father was going through cancer treatment so I wasn’t 100 percent in the training. I was thinking about my dad’s health and he was only really there for the last three weeks of camp. We’re going to have a great game plan and it’s going to be another tough fight, but we’re looking to get the victory.

“If you watched the first fight you know that it was a great fight. The second one is going to be even better. I took my first defeat. Ta on suur võitleja, but I want to win this rematch. If I win the rematch, I’m fine bringing the third fight of the trilogy to Belfast.”

PUHKUS ZLATICANIN

“Everyone thinks that Garcia is a pound-for-pound star but I want to tell everyone that I’m going to win this fight.

“Everything in preparations has been going great. I’ll be 100% ready on Jaanuar 28. This is the fight of my life. I have to be ready and we’re right on track.

“I always respected fighters like Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. or a fighter like Mike Tyson because whoever they were supposed to fight they fought. I’m the same way, an old school fighter who’s willing to fight anybody.

“I came up the hard way, and sometimes I thought I might never get this opportunity. I’ve been in some really tough fights where people gave me no chance to win, but now I’m a world champion.

“To be the first world champion from Montenegro is historic. I think it’s made me a national hero in the country and I’m honored. The people in my country love me and I love them back.

“When I beat Mikey Garcia that will make me an even bigger star. I think Mikey is a good puncher, and he has good timing, but I can hit him easily and I’m planning to knock him out.”

“Mikey will have a big opponent in front of him. He needs to run around the ring because I’m going to come for him. You will see me defend my title and you will enjoy it.”

Mikey GARCIA

“I’m thankful to everyone who came out. I was down for over two years, but it seems like no one has forgotten about me. We’re looking for big things. I want to pick up right where I left off.

“I’m really happy to have been given this opportunity to claim a world title in a third division. This is going to be an amazing fight. He’s a hungry world champion. He’s very dangerous. These are the kind of fights that I want. This is what I need to prove myself.

“This is only the beginning. This is going to be a huge year for me. I want to win multiple titles and maybe conquer multiple divisions this year.

“I haven’t fought in Vegas since 2012 but I expect the fans to be out there supporting. This is a big stage and a night of great fights. This is a great opportunity to become a world champion in another weight class.

“I’ve known Leo Santa Cruz since the amateur days. We get to share the stage again on Juuli 30 and I’m looking forward to another good shot. I can’t ask for anything more.

“My brother and my dad watch more film than I do. I only like to watch a couple rounds of my opponent. So I’ve seen what Dejan has. During the fight I’ll listen to my corner and make adjustments. Ta on noor, undefeated champion for a reason. I want him to be at his best because that will bring out my A-game.

“My body feels really good right now. I think this is going to be a great division for me. I don’t think the weight will affect me in any way.

“This is going to be a great show. I’m going to give everything that the fans want to see. I’m sure my opponent will do the same. I want to take on the biggest challenges and I’m ready to make those fights happen. I want to give the fans the fights they want. The best of my career is yet to come.”

BARRY MCGUIGAN, Frampton mänedžer, Endine maailmameister & Hall of Famer

From Los Angeles:

“It’s great to be here in Los Angeles for such a great occasion. Dejan, Mikey, Leo and Carl are all incredible fighters and it really is going to be a magnificent show.

“These are two amazing fighters. If they fought every day of the week, and twice pühapäeval, every single fight would be close. I just think that Carl has the edge in innate boxing intelligence. He is more versatile and a naturally bigger guy than Leo. We have to get him into the best shape of his life.

“Carl is going to have to turn it up on fight night and we know that Leo will turn it up as well. He’ll put the pressure on him. I believe it will be at least as good of a fight as last time.

“We’re going to have a fabulous night on Jaanuar 28 and I have to say it again, we will be winning.”

From Belfast:

“You boxing fans here in Belfast are the best supporters in the world, we have no doubt about it, and we’re going to go to Las Vegas to make sure we win again and win more convincingly.”

RICHARD Schaefer, Esimees & Tegevjuht Ringstar Sport

From Los Angeles:

“When you mix these two together, you know it has to be another ‘Fight of the Year’ candidate. These two guys could fight 10 times and every time it would be a ‘Fight of the Year’, and probably a very close decision. These are our modern day gladiators.

“These are exciting matchups where you really don’t know who’s going to win. This is what the fans like to see. These are closely matched fights, for the fans. That is exactly what you will see on Jaanuar 28.

“Dejan vs. Mikey is the most significant matchup in the lightweight division. There is no question about it. It’s an extremely dangerous fight. It’s playing with fire for Mikey. I can pretty much assure you that this fight will end in a knockout. This is easily a main event on its own.

“I believe that Mikey Garcia is one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world. But to get there and to stay there, you have to face fighters like Dejan. This just shows what Mikey is made of.

From Belfast:

“I was fortunate to promote many of Ricky Hatton and Floyd Mayweather’s fights, but whenever I am here, I can feel the passion that you fans here bring to the sport. You elevate these fighters to do better. At Barclays Center we saw you there cheering on your guy.

“Tickets are available as low as fifty dollars. I don’t think that’s a bad idea in January, to go from cold Ireland to warm Las Vegas. There are many reasons to go out there, but this fight is the biggest reason to go.

“It’s a rematch of the ‘Fight of the Year’ and I’m very proud to be able to promote this fight together along with Barry McGuigan. I thank all of the fans here again for the passion you bring to the sport of boxing.”

SHANE MCGUIGAN, Frampton treeneri

From Los Angeles:

“These are two really good fighters. As Richard said, this would be a great fight 10 times out of 10. Leo had a lot of distractions in training camp with his father’s health and I think he will be a better fight the second time.

“That was Carl Frampton’s first time fighting at 126-pounds, so he had a lot of new experiences leading up to the last fight. They both learned in the first fight and I think they will both be able to give a little bit more the second time. The fans will be the ones to enjoy the action.

“Training camp has been going great.

From Belfast:

“I don’t know who was lucky enough to see the first fight between these two, but it was really a great one. Carl got dragged into Leo’s fight at times, but with that came excitement.

“I think this fight we’re going to win a lot more convincingly, cement the win and then move on. I’m extremely excited about it.

“To see how far Carl has come is phenomenal. I hope people will buy a ticket and come out to support. He needs that support and I hope to see you all out there.”

ALEX VAYSFELD, Zlaticanin’s Manager

“It was a very hard uphill road for Dejan to get where he was going. He had to fight a lot of different places and fight people that he wasn’t supposed to beat, in other people’s minds. But he won.

“Dejan knows how to be an underdog and he knows how to calm a favorite. I guarantee you that Dejan knows every aspect of Garcia’s game. When he steps into that ring, you will all see something amazing.

“Mikey is going to bring his best, Dejan is going to bring his best and of the fans are going to be in for an amazing fight.”

ROBERT GARCIA, Mikey’s Brother & Treener

“I consider Leo Santa Cruz a great fighter and a friend. Carl Frampton is another great fighter and it’s fantastic to be part of a card with such a big main event.

“This was a very easy fight to make. Mikey said yes right away. He wanted to fight for a title and he got it. Mikey isn’t going to hold back. He wants to keep moving up and challenging big names. He wants to be remembered as one of the best fighters in the world. Mikey wants to give the fans the best fights out there.

“I don’t have any second thoughts about this fight because I believe in Mikey. We’re preparing to become the lightweight champion of the world.

“Mikey is training hard. He’s going to be ready on Jaanuar 28 and prepared to give everybody a great fight.”

STEPHEN Espinoza, Executive VP & Peadirektor, Showtime Sport

“SHOWTIME has without question delivered the strongest lineup of any network in boxing. We are looking for the best fighters fighting the best. Top tier fighters against top tier fighters. This is what we have here today.

“Our main event has Carl Frampton, who for my money is the 2016 ‘Fighter of the Year.’ He defeated two undefeated world champions to unify 122-pounds and pick up a title at 126-pounds. There is no fighter who has done what he has in 2016.

“Leo Santa Cruz is a three-division world champion. He’s always entertaining. His Abner Mares was the ‘Fight of the Year’ in 2015 and his fight this year with Carl was my ‘2016 Fight of the Year.’ I think his fight on Jaanuar 28 will be another one.

“The co-main event is really worthy of being a main event of its own. For those of you who don’t know Dejan Zlaticanin, he’s a fighter that nobody wants to fight. He’s one of the most avoided fighters in the lightweight division. He’s a power puncher who’s very aggressive. No one except Mikey Garcia. He’s looking for a world title in a third division and he’s no doubt a top 10 nael-for-nael võitleja maailmas. These guys were so anxious to fight that we put it on the card on Jaanuar 28 and the fans get a real treat.

“We have four top tier fighters. This is the best in the sport, coming together on one card. As Richard suggested, the combined record of these fighters is 112 võitu ja 1 kaotus. These are four of the most skilled fighters in the sport. It’s a special night. You shouldn’t miss it.”

Esinevad poksi meistrid: 12 Rounds with Junior Middleweight World Champion Jermall Charlo

It’s not that Jermall Charlo is an introvert or someone who can’t articulate his thoughts. It’s just that being a vociferous, look-at-me showman isn’t part of the 154-pound champion’s makeup.

Sellepärast, few people aside from twin brother (and fellow 154-pound titleholder) Jermell Charlo are aware that Jermall Charlo is a well-read, budding music producer/engineer who loves a fine steak and can sign his name with either hand.

We learned all this and more when we recently sat down with Jermall Charlo ahead of his highly anticipated Detsember 10 title defense against top-ranked contender Julian Williams at the Galen Center in Los Angeles (Showtime, 10 Pärastlõunal. JA/7 Pärastlõunal. PT).

Who is your boxing hero?

Tommy Hearns is one of my favorite fighters. He was always trying to disprove his doubters, and I respect everything he’s been through. My life and Tommy Hearns’ life are similar. We’re both tall, and he had a legendary trainer in Emanuel Steward, and I have one, liiga, in Ronnie Shields.

Tommy had a good jab and was a rangy fighter. A lot of boxers think it’s easy to go to the body on tall fighters to break us down. But it’s a different story when they get in there with Tommy, so that has made me relate to him in that way.

There was also a lot of substance in Tommy Hearns. You have to be a smart fighter to know the difference between brawling and boxing, and how to use your range.

Kõigist poksijatest ajaloos, kes sa tahaksid, et sa oleksid võidelnud, ja kuidas oleks võitlus välja mängitud?

Being in the welterweight and junior middleweight range, I would want to see how my style would match up against a guy like Sugar Ray Leonard. I know he fought Tommy Hearns, but I think I possess some different qualities, and I would like to see how I would do against [Leonard] at his best.

I spoke to Sugar Ray Leonard right before I won the title from Cornelius Bundrage, and I told him I was the new “Hitman” (referring to Hearns’ hüüdnimi).

I don’t want to say that I would have beat Sugar Ray Leonard, because he’s a great fighter and I wouldn’t want to disrespect him. But out of anybody I could have fought, I would love to match my style against Sugar Ray’s.

I would of course borrow from the Tommy Hearns fight with Sugar Ray Leonard. Every time I watch that classic fight, I picture myself being Hearns.

Mis on kõige raskem, mida olete kunagi tabanud, ja kuidas sa sellega hakkama said?

You know what’s crazy? It wasn’t even by a punch; it was by a headbutt, and it was actually in my last fight against Austin Trout. Somewhere in those middle rounds, we clashed heads, and his head landed right on I believe the left side of my chin and ear.

I haven’t been hit that hard by any punch or anything, because I do a good job with keeping my hands up and with head movement and stuff like that. But against Trout, he threw a jab, and I stepped over and his head came crashing into my jawline.

He had no clue [that I was stunned], and I fought through it like a champion is supposed to. But that was the hardest shot I’ve taken since my pee-wee football days. I had to check myself to make sure I was good. It was just a shot that woke me up.

When training for a fight, what’s the one meal you miss the most?

It would have to be steak. I’m a filet mignon type of guy. But I have to give that up during training, because it’s one of those red meats that slows me down.

You’re known for being a gym rat. Do you have a favorite exercise?

I like all exercises-anything that’s challenging. But if I had to choose one, my favorite would be working the body bag with [legendary trainer] Creed Fountain. … I’ve watched Creed Fountain do the body bag with Evander Holyfield and a lot of other champions, so it’s kind of become one of my favorite exercises.

Aga lemmikpunch viskamiseks?

One of my favorites is my left hook. It’s not necessarily to the body, but it’s one of the punches that I grew up throwing and always felt was one of my most challenging shots. I’m very comfortable throwing it, being that I’m right-handed and left-handed.

You mean you’re ambidextrous?

Jah. I actually can write with both hands. I really never knew what my dominant hand was, being that I was strong with both hands. I throw a football and shoot a basketball with my right hand.

But it’s crazy and kind of confusing even to myself. … Ühes võitluses, I can switch to either side. I grew up in a southpaw stance and feeling more comfortable as a left-hander, but then I started fighting from the right-handed side and feeling more comfortable as a right-hander. I’ve used both sides effectively.

Lõpeta see lause: Kui mitte poksimiseks, Oleksin …

… probably be an educated businessman somewhere making moves in whichever industry I chose. But boxing has saved my life.

Milline on avalikkuse suurim väärarusaam poksijate osas?

That we’re all big, angry guys who spend their money wildly and aren’t educated. But they’re all wrong.

Kas teil on lemmik poksifilm?

I generally don’t like boxing movies because of the fake punches. But one movie I really did like was Kivi käed. I grew up watching the Kivine seeria, so I liked that, liiga. Kuid Kivi käed is one of my favorites.

I like when [the plots of boxing films] get into the lifestyle. When Micky Ward did his movie, The Fighter, a lot of things came out about him that people don’t know. That’s how I am. There are a lot of things that people don’t know about me. Maybe that will change once there is a movie written about the Charlo twins.

Hästi, what if Hollywood made a movie about you and your brother, Jermell-what actors would you want playing you two?

Good question. Kohe alguses, we’d have to find some twins with athletic ability. They’d have to be identical. My twin brother and I look alike, but don’t act alike. Just nüüd, it would be hard to find a good actor to portray both of us.

I did like how Usher played Sugar Ray Leonard, and how Will Smith portrayed Muhammad Ali, kuid … I think we would have to get a set of twins.

Kes on teie esitusloendis üks artist, kes võitlusfänne üllataks?

I grew up listening to Al Green. My dad was a big fan of soul music. I’m an old soul, because my grandfather and others kind of turned me on to a couple of Al Green songs. Johnnie Taylor, liiga.

I always go back and reminisce about the old days and the old-school music. I was listening to some Al Green and Johnnie Taylor today.

Lõpeta see lause: Inimesed oleksid seda teades üllatunud …

… I’ve been playing instruments and creating beats and engineering and producing since before I even became a boxer. I have a full recording studio inside my house. I play piano and guitar. I’m really into electronic music.

I also do a lot of reading during my off time. Reading and music.

Kui saaksite maailmas ühte asja muuta, mis see oleks?

That’s a hard question, because there is so much that I would change. … I guess I would want everyone to be equal. There would be no levels or one person being better than the next person-no matter the color of your skin.

What’s on your bucket list?

You know what I really want to do? That survival thing where you go into the wilderness and survive for 21 päeva. Like on that Naked and Afraid show. I just want to get dropped off in the wilderness and go and survive like those guys do, creating my own fire and seeing what that’s like. I think I could do it. I can last out there. I can survive anything.

I don’t like snakes and I don’t like mosquitos, but I’m not afraid of them. They could drop me off anywhere and I could survive.

Featherweight World Championship Rematch Between Carl Frampton & Leo Santa Cruz Headlines Premier Boxing Champions Event Saturday, Jaanuar 28 From MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas Live on SHOWTIMEâ

MORE! Lightweight World Champion Dejan Zlaticanin Battles Undefeated Former Two-Division Superstar Mikey Garcia

Frampton & Santa Cruz to Host
Press Conferences in Belfast & Los Angeles

Piletid müügil Teisipäev, November 29 juures 9 a.m. PT!

LAS VEGAS (November 23, 2016) – Undefeated featherweight world champion Carl "Šaakal" Frampton (23-0, 14 Kos) ja endine kolm-divisjoni maailmameistriks Leo “El Terremoto” Santa Cruz(32-1-1, 18 Kos) will meet again in a world title rematch that headlines a Premier Boxing Champions sündmus Laupäev, Jan. 28 live on SHOWTIME from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

The Showtime MEISTRIVÕISTLUSED BOXING^â doubleheader will also feature lightweight world champion Dejan Zlaticanin (22-0, 15 Kos) making his first title defense against fan favorite and former two-division titlist Mikey Garcia (35-0, 29 Kos).

Frampton and Santa Cruz are set to clash in a rematch of their July “Fight of the Year” candidate that saw tremendous back-and-forth action throughout the 12-round fight that ended in a majority decision for the Irish fighter. Frampton drew significant Irish support in Brooklyn and will now bring his legion of fans to Las Vegas for the first time in an arena where Santa Cruz has fought six times. Just a few hours from Santa Cruz’s home of Los Angeles, the electric atmosphere is sure to be buoyed by two men who combined to land 402 power shots out of the 497 punches landed in their first fight.

To kick off the promotion, Frampton and Santa Cruz will be holding open-to-the-public press conferences in Belfast, Põhja-Iirimaa edasi Teisipäev, November. 29 ja Los Angeles edasi Neljapäev, Detsember. 1 with more details to be announced shortly.

“The rematch is the fight we wanted,"Ütles Frampton. “I enjoyed our first fight in New York. The atmosphere was fantastic and the fight lived up to the hype. Edasi January 28th I will be better and I will win more convincingly. I know the way Leo fights, he throws a lot of punches and he is brave, but his style suits me. It has always been a dream of mine to headline in Las Vegas and I cannot wait to get out there and put on a great performance for the American boxing fans and the travelling support from Ireland and the UK.”

“From the moment our last fight ended, when the decision came and I lost the fight, I knew my only goal was to get my belt back,” said Santa Cruz. “When I sat in the locker room afterward, I felt more motivated than ever to get back in the gym. All I’ve thought about since the fight was this rematch. There won’t be any distractions in this camp. I’ll be heading into the fight with a better game plan. I’m putting in 100 percent in training and I’m excited to get in the ring on January 28 to get my belt back.”

“This is the most important fight of my career,” said Zlaticanin. “I expect a tough and ruthless fight. I know how good Mikey Garcia is, but I also know how good I am. The fight is not going to reach the final bell; one of us will be knocked out, and I believe it will be Mikey. Garcia has never fought a good and strong fighter like me before. He will feel my power on Jaanuar 28.”

“I’m very happy and excited for my upcoming fight,” said Garcia. “This is a chance to claim a third world title in my third division. Zlaticanin is tough, strong and dangerous but I feel confident in my abilities. I’m planning on giving the fans in Las Vegas a great show. 2017 will be a great year for me and it all starts Jaanuar 28!"

“Frampton-Santa Cruz II is truly the best that boxing has to offer, an immediate rematch of a leading Fight of the Year candidate between the two top-rated fighters in the division,"Ütles Stephen Espinoza, Asepresident & Peadirektor, Showtime Sport. “And Zlaticanin vs. Garcia is a ‘50/50’ fight between two undefeated champions and a main event in its own right. The Jan. 28 telecast is the cornerstone of four upcoming SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING presentations that feature the best matchups in boxing’s deepest divisions. Events like this one are proof that SHOWTIME delivers the strongest boxing line up of any network in the sport today.”

“I am looking forward to a terrific event in Las Vegas,” said Barry McGuigan of Cyclone Promotions, a former world champion and Hall of Famer. “The first fight between Carl Frampton and Leo Santa Cruz was sensational and I truly believe that the rematch will be even better. I’m convinced that Carl will win the rematch more convincingly and beating someone like Leo Santa Cruz a second time will define Carl as true great of Irish boxing. I know everyone at Cyclone Promotions is proud to deliver a great night of boxing at MGM Grand where there will be a full action packed card of championship fights.”

“It’s a thrill to promote another fantastic night of boxing featuring two evenly matched world championship showdowns,” said Richard Schaefer, Ringstar Sportsi esimees ja tegevjuht. “These are the kinds of cards that Ringstar is all about. Frampton and Santa Cruz put on a memorable performance in July and battled from the opening bell. It was Frampton who took home the belt last time, but I expect that Leo will train to be 100 percent and do everything in his power to get his title back. I believe this could be an even better fight than the first one. We also have Mikey Garcia, who shook off the ring rust in July and will challenge the most dangerous lightweight champion in the world, Dejan Zlaticanin, kaasnevas põhiturniiri. This is a fight that looks destined to end by knockout. The perfect stage for this great night of action is the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas and I anticipate a huge crowd on hand to support these outstanding fighters.”

“The first fight between Frampton and Santa Cruz was action packed from start to finish and I guarantee the rematch will be the same,” said Tom Brown, President TGB Promotions. “Along with the Zlaticanin-Garcia bout, as they battle for a world title, you have another can’t miss night of boxing from MGM Grand live on SHOWTIME.”

Jeesus Cuellar vs. Abner Mares Media Conference Call Transcript & MP3

November 23, 2016 FNU47 Jäta kommentaar

Vajuta SIIN for MP3

Richard Schaefer

Suur aitäh, and thank you to all the media for being on today’s call. It was an interesting weekend, but boxing goes on and boxing goes on in a big way here on Laupäev, Detsember 10 as a SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING doubleheader with two toe-to-toe fights that will electrify the sport, and I’m really excited to be able to host and promote this card here from Galen Center in Los Angeles.

The fight we are discussing today is for sure going to be one of those potential Fight of the Year candidates, and I know these days those words are being used quite a bit, but I really feel these fighters are right for each other. This is a fight in one of the most stacked divisions in boxing. Before I introduce the two fighters, just some other things, the card will take place from the Galen Center at the USC Campus in Los Angeles.

The Galen Center is a first-class arena. It’s actually the newest indoor arena in and around Los Angeles. Televisiooni ulatus algab 10 Pärastlõunal. JA/7 Pärastlõunal. PT for those people who can’t make it to the Galen Center. The co-main event is really a main event in its own. It’s one of the most anticipated and asked for fights in another great weight class, the junior middleweight division where you have arguably two of the best, if not the two best fighters in that division against each other: Jermall Charlo defending his title against top-rated challenger Julian Williams.

This is a fight Julian Williams has been waiting for, pikka aega, and it’s a battle of unbeaten up and coming stars in their prime. There’s going to be a terrific, non-televised card as part of this event, samuti. Nii, those people that are going to be able to make it out to the Galen Center, they’re going to really be in for a treat. I’m going to tell you about some of those fights, which my co-promotor, Tom Brown from TGB, has put together and I want to thank Tom for a job very well done. These are greatly matched fights, and I’m excited and looking forward to seeing them.

Included on the undercard is junior welterweight title eliminator featuring unbeaten Sergey Lipinets, koos rekord 10-0, koos 8 Kos, taking on Australia’s Lenny Zappavigna with a record of 35-2 koos 25 Kos. Great match ups. They will also see a pair of undefeated prospects who are looking to cement their status as championship contenders. In the super welterweight division Erickson Lubin, kes on 16-0, koos 11 KOs of Orlando, Fla., and junior lightweight Mario Barrios, koos rekord 16-0, koos 8 KOs out of San Antonio.

The card will also include an array of local talent from Los Angeles or the greater Los Angeles area, including Oxnard’s Hugo Centeno, Jr. koos rekord 24-1 koos 12 Kos, former title challenger Josesito Lopez with a 33-7 rekord, koos 19 KOs and personally one of my favorites. He’s always there to give a fight, just an amazing warrior and I’m happy to see Josesito Lopez on this card. Then we also are going to see Abner Mares’ noorem vend, Adan märad, who has a record of 14-3. I’m looking forward to having him there as well. It really is a can’t-miss night, and for those people here in Southern California, please come and see this card. It’s going to be great fighters, great matchups.

The doors are open at 3:30 pm, and the fights begins shortly thereafter. Tickets for the live event are on sale now, and they start at $35, jah 35, what a steal. Students get a special $10 ära. There’s a $25 student ticket available as well, and they’re available at www.galentix.com.

Nüüd, the man who made is all happen and is not only a very close friend of mine but really a man with a passion for the sport of boxing, the Executive VP and General Manager, Showtime Sport, Stephen Espinoza.

Stephen Espinoza

This fight is one of the fights I’ve been most excited about on this year’s schedule. As many of you remember, this was a fight that was originally set for June and had to be rescheduled. It was such a strong fight that we didn’t want to lose that, and I know that required some sacrifice from both fighters, and we’re deeply appreciative for that. That they’re willing to wait shows what kind of guys both these guys are, as they’re looking for a challenge and neither one wanted to walk away from what, as Richard mentioned, could be one of the best fights of the year.

This is the fifth featherweight fight that SHOWTIME will be televising this year. It is one of the most talent, deep divisions, and we’re thrilled to have such a wealth of talent and thrilled to be focusing on it this year. It is a 50-50 fight between two fighters that are, in the consensus top six of the division supported by an incredibly strong undercard, and we are very happy and very proud to be ending the year on such a strong note. We look forward to Detsember 10, and I’ll turn it over back to Richard.

R. Schaefer

Õigus, thank you very much Stephen. Nüüd, it is a privilege for me to introduce to you Abner Mares. Abner Mares, as you all know is certainly one of the greatest fighters at this time to come out of Mexico. He was born in Guadalajara, Mehhiko. Ta oli 2004 Mexican Olympian and that is how long I’ve known him and how long I’ve been involved with his fights. He lives now and fights out of Downey, California and trains with one of the best trainers in his corner, Robert Garcia. If you look at his resume, it is as impressive as it comes. He is a former world champion at 118, 122 ja 126 naela, has really fought everybody and from Ponce de Leon, from Oquendo, from Moreno, from Darchinyan and the list goes on and on.

He will be fighting in California for the 10th time in his career, including his last bout which was a terrific Fight of the Year candidate against Leo Santa Cruz. Abner Mares is the kind of fighter, who in all the fights, has never been in a boring fight because he knows how to entertain. He wants to give it his best, and he has the will to win. Here he goes, at this point in his career, for yet another world title and it is a pleasure now to turn it over to Abner who can talk a little bit about training camp, what this fight means to him and maybe give us some Thanksgiving thoughts as well. Abner.

Abner Mares

Kindlalt, Richard. How you doing? I want to start out by thanking God. All you guys for making this possible, Richard, Stephen Espinoza and obviously, the great boxing fans out there who are always supporting and even the ones who are not there to support, they just give you a bad time, but you know at the end of the day, they support the sport in a way.

Nii, I’m really honored and privileged to be fighting Detsember 10 in my hometown in LA. It’s going to be a great fight against a great fighter, Jeesus Cuellar, a puncher, a guy who has a lot of strength, a guy that has lots to prove. Like Richard has mentioned, I’m just really looking forward to this fight. As you guys know, I’ve never been in a boring fight. I always entertain. I find a way to give you guys explosive fights and this will be just that. It will be an exciting fight, like Richard mentioned, this is perfect for an entertaining fight and I’m going to give you just that.

An early Christmas present to everyone, hopefully a late birthday present for me, since it’s going to be a week after my birthday. It’s going to be great. You can’t miss it, like Richard mentioned; in this stage of my career, I think this is my second wind. I’m looking forward to showing you guys a different Abner and what you guys don’t know already. This is going to be a year since I started training with well-known coach Robert Garcia, a whole year we had to train and get to know each other, so you will see the difference. So with that said, I think this is a fight you can’t miss on SHOWTIME. You can’t miss live at the USC Galen Center.

This is a Fight of the Year to close the end of the year and I’m looking forward to that — not so much looking forward to Thanksgiving like Richard said because we will still be on a diet, we won’t be able to eat as much, but obviously spending time with the family being thankful for everything that God has given us. It’s been a blessing. Thank you all for tuning in and thank you all again. Ma ei saa oodata December 10th to make history once again and become a four-time world champion.

Abner, you mentioned the year with Robert Garcia. How has it transformed you? How has it changed you from who you were?

A. Emad

I know once you get a new coach they tend to get a fight right away, and they tend to fight the next six to eight weeks, and you don’t see much of a difference. Miks? Because you only have that small period of time to train and get to know each other, and I just mentioned a whole year with Robert and not only a whole year with Robert, a whole year of getting ready for this fight against a southpaw and you guys know what type of coach Robert is. Not only does he bring education to your boxing skills but also that motivation, it’s always good to have that motivation knowing that you have one of the best in your corner. Nii, you will see a different Abner and I think the best way to answer your question is you will just see a more mature fighter in me.

A lot of people who are looking at this fight are saying that dealing with Cuellar’s strength and power is going to be the most difficult thing for you. How do you get through that and what are your own thoughts?

A. Emad

Once you get hit hard or anything that you can’t think of happens in the ring, I don’t think it’s based on your experiences, it’s more based on your willingness, your heart and the desire to continue. I think that comes from deep inside, and I think I have that. I think I’ve showed it in many fights. I’ve had difficult times in different fights, so I think it just comes from inside. You can’t teach that, but again, jah, experience has helped a lot to get you out of certain things but, uuesti, I think this is going to be one of the smartest fights we’re going to be able to fight.

How disappointed were you and how surprised were you that you would were not allowed to fight that particular bout in Brooklyn because of the location of the match?

A. Emad

Hästi, it was difficult. It’s not the first time something like this has happened to me — not in the sense of me being injured or anything but a fight being cancelled. I’ve had fights being cancelled or postponed, years back so it’s nothing different. But I am a human being, I have feelings, ilmselt, and I just felt sad at the moment because I love to fight.

Jah, I was disappointed, not so much in myself, just the situation, kuid, uuesti, I have to take people back. I’ve got them pretty much fighting this whole year. I was supposed to fight in March, that got postponed because of an injury and then it got postponed for June and then that June fight got postponed so here we are December 10th, and again it’s just a way of seeing that mental strength and that circle you have around you. You know my family kept me strong and those long talks with my advisor kept me going and again here we are and still healthy and we will continue to give you guys good fights.

Abner, could you at all just explain the situation with the eye. For whatever reason, they have different rules in New York, but can you explain what that situation is with that eye and which eye is it?

A. Emad

It’s like you said, different rules for different states. We know they’re stricter on that side. I think that tells you they’re stricter and then, ilmselt, the issues they’re having at the moment and it’s nothing bad. It’s something that happened in 2008. I have been fighting since. I’ve been cleared in every state I’ve fought in, other than New York. I fight in California, I fight in Texas, I fight in Vegas. I fight in Philly, liiga. I think there was a red flag for them because, ilmselt, I had surgery done again in 2008 and they just didn’t want to take the risk, but again I think, like Richard, myself and my doctor said, meil oled hea minna. We have been. I have the same risk. I don’t have it higher or less than any fighter out there. My surgery is done. I’m good and like any other fighter I have the same risk of getting one open in the ring, so there’s no risk higher of me getting one.

Abner, which eye was it you had the surgery on back in ’08?

A. Emad

It was in my left eye.

Abner, do you have any concern whatsoever about rust?

A. Emad

Pole tänu väärt, you have to see it and look at it on the positive side. Ilmselt, I haven’t been in the spotlight, no cameras around me, no lights, but I’ve been active. Alates märtsist, I’ve been getting ready for the fight. Every single fight has been postponed the week of the fight, so I’ve practically done training camps for two fights. Nii, that does not worry me, but if it happens you will feel it in the ring, and it’s just a matter of adjusting to it. It wears off within one or two rounds and just getting the rhythm of the fight going. I think we’re safe and we’ll be good.

Richard, when you started to go and work on this fight did you have any issues with Abner’s medical situation or were you were sort of like surprised it was postponed and then, when he went through the testing you were very satisfied that everything was okay? What was your take on the postponement because of New York?

R. Schaefer

Ma arvan,, kõigepealt, New York has other issues related to boxing to well. With the insurance requirement they had a very difficult year, New York, as it situates to what happened with all the ins and outs of the commission and I think anybody in boxing or anybody would agree it’s a bit of a mess out there. Then you look at California. I think California is one of the best run if, ausalt, not the best-run commissions and so of course when the fight was postponed or cancelled or whatever in New York, I not only talked to Abner and his wife. They were both in my office and I talked to them, but I asked Abner for permission to actually talk directly with his attorney and with his doctor, who is one of the most recognized surgeons and specialists as it relates to eyes and eye injuries in the world.

When I talked to the doctor I asked him straight out, is Abner okay? He said yes. I asked him is Abner at a higher risk than any fighter who enters the ring and he said absolutely not and that gave me the confidence to go forward and promote this fight. I had the same conversations with the California Commission and their medical board was satisfied with their requirements to make sure Abner was okay because of course if it’s the commission or anyone involved in this fight, first and foremost is fighter safety and Al Haymon, Abner’s advisor, asked me numerous times, I mean numerous times, and he said look if we’re going to do this fight, make sure Abner is okay and make sure he is absolutely okay, and I feel confident that I did that and so we’re ready to go.

R. Schaefer

Korras, suur. We’re going to have Jesus make some comment and then opening up for both fighters to answer any questions.

It’s a pleasure for me to introduce to you the current WBA Featherweight World Champion with a record of 28-1 koos 21 knockouts. He’s one of those other tough, hard hitting, fighters coming out of Argentina, in this case Buenos Aries and he’s in his first fight under legendary coach Freddie Roach, so you’re going to have an interesting matchup there also with Robert Garcia’s trained fighter, Abner Mares, against a Freddie Roach trained fighter Jesus Cuellar and you know those two guys, Roach and Garcia are very competitive, and so I think that adds some extra spice to the matchup. Cuellar won his world title in 2013 and has gone to defend it five times since then, including victories over Rico Ramos, Vic Darchinyan and Juan Manuel Lopez. It is a pleasure now to introduce Jesus Cuellar.

Jeesus Cuellar

I feel very good. We’ve had a great training camp with Freddie and my entire team. I have been concentrating on this matchup and looking forward to the fight with Abner.

R. Schaefer

Korras, very good so let’s open it back up to questions now from the media. Any more questions for Abner or Jesus Cuellar please.

What did that fight against Santa Cruz tell you about what you have left to offer in boxing?

A. Emad

I think that part itself tells you what I have left. Ma andsin talle minu kõik. I think it was a close fight and it lets you know I have a lot left. I gave a hell of a fight and it’s just different styles. It didn’t really tell me anything other than that I’m ready for anything. It was a great fight against a great fighter and that’s it.

Abner, without giving away any strategy or anything, what do think are some of the biggest improvements you’ve made working with Robert Garcia?

A. Emad

Wow. Nii, many but I think that number one is definitely on my basic punches, the one, kaks, hook, three-punch combination. I think we perfected those plus sitting down more, turning more on my punches. It’s crazy how you might think you’re throwing your punches good, and you’re not this whole time. Nii, I think I’ve learned how to turn more on my punches, how to sit better on my punches and I think my power is coming out really good. My sparring partner has helped me and I think you will see improvement in my power and my defense.

I know he probably doesn’t speak to you about this much, but can you tell me what it would mean for you, because as Richard mentioned before, there’s an obvious rivalry between Robert and Freddie. What would it mean for you to win one for him?

A. Emad

Jah, like you said we don’t talk about that. It has nothing to do with Freddie Roach. I think it’s a fight between a fighter and myself and just winning the fight for us as a team will mean the world to us. We have no desire on throwing this in anyone’s face. It’s just a win, and there’s no rivalry.

Abner, when you think back about your journey and the opportunities you’ve had in boxing, what are you most grateful for? What are some of the things you’re most grateful for this month, in advance of Thanksgiving?

A. Emad

Esimene, all of the great people I have around me. My circle, minu sõbrad, the opportunities I’ve had, and just the opportunity to be fighting for another world title before the end of the year is something I’m really grateful and then I thank, ilmselt, the great team, Showtime, my advisor and then everyone for this opportunity. I’m really looking forward to making myself and my family proud for everything overall. Like you said, I came from nothing to something and there is something I’m trying to do in this sport and that’s to just try and be an example for my kids and for the young kids growing up that anything is possible.

Jeesus, how long have you been with Freddie Roach so far in camp and how has that made a difference in your style and your confidence going into this fight?

J. Cuellar

I’ve definitely learned a lot. I feel extremely improved. We have a lot of confidence heading into this fight. I want to thank God for the all the blessings I’ve had. It’s been nice to go back to Argentina, but this was a great opportunity to come up with Freddie and get ready for December 10th.

Do you think that your power and your size advantage make you different from southpaws Abner has faced in any way? What do feel separates you from those southpaws and or anyone else that Abner has faced?

J. Cuellar

I know that I have the size advantage and I’m the bigger fighter but I certainly cannot rely on that. I realize this is going to be a difficult matchup, and I have to bring my best because Abner is a heck of a talent.

What are you thankful for in advance of Thanksgiving?

J. Cuellar

I’m relaxed, I’m calm and I’m thankful that I’m going to spend the time with my family and friends.

Möödunud Laupäev we saw a very controversial decision with Ward and Kovalev. Abner, I’ll begin with you, when you see a very controversial decision like that, nagu poksija, does it bother you the fact that we’re still seeing controversy when it comes to the judges and does that motivate you at all to try to go for the knockout, not to leave it in the judges hands?

A. Emad

Mul on kahju, I’m not going to lie. I did not watch the fight. I wasn’t able to see the fight, because I had a turkey drive the following day pühapäeval, so I was getting ready for that, but obviously I saw the tweets, I saw everything. I heard about it, and I heard it was a really controversial decision, but I think there’s no judges like the people. I think those are the ones that you have to prove something to, not so much the actual judges in the ring.

Kuigi, I think it’s divided. Ma arvan, 50 percent think Kovalec won and another 50 percent think Ward won. Coming from the ground and getting back up and just winning the fight speaks a lot for him. Nii, again I did not watch the fight. I can’t go into detail, and for myself you just take that and put it on my fight. I don’t have to do anything to impress the judges. I think just my boxing itself. I think we have professionals up there, and they’re going to do their jobs, so I don’t even have to think about that or put that in my head that I have to do something different just to impress the judges. Ära, I’m going to go in there and just do my job.

You mentioned before, after your last fight was cancelled, that you spoke with Al Haymon and he gave you some advice and counsel to lift your spirits. What advice did he give you after your last fight was cancelled?

A. Emad

Just having him as a friend, as an advisor, just being positive, him saying Abner ‘we’re in this together.’ Just hearing those words, ‘we’re in this together, we’re going to get through it, we’re going to get you a fight soon. Do not worry.’ That did it all. Olin, ilmselt, I was still worried but it calmed me down. It calmed me down and like I said here we are a couple of weeks away and, uuesti, I’m really thankful for my team.

Jeesus, everyone who saw you at the news conference was talking about how big you were. Is weight going to be a problem for this fight and traditionally have you ever had any weight difficulties?

J. Cuellar

Ära, I’ve never had any issues when it comes to weight and I’m very thankful again for the training camp we’ve had and continue to have and I’m ready for the fight.

How much do you weigh right now?

J. Cuellar

130.

Jeesus, why did you want to fight Abner specifically?

J. Cuellar

Hästi, Abner is a fantastic fighter and you have to beat the best in the world to be the best. Now we just have to get ready for December 10th Los Angeles.

R. Schaefer

Korras, suur. I want to thank all of the media members again. I know that many of you from the East Coast are planning on being here for this fight. I just want to say, I know you guys are going to be treated to a very special night. I am going to host a spectacular media dinner reedel night as well. This is my first fight back, and I really couldn’t have asked for a better doubleheader with Cuellar and Abner Mares and Charlo and Williams and all the other fights I mentioned before. Nii, I’m really excited about the fights, but I’m really excited to see you guys from the East Coast as well and appreciate the relationship that we have and look forward to working with you.

Esinevad poksi meistrid: 12 Ümberjooks juunioride keskkaalu maailmameistritiitli Julian Williamsiga

November 19, 2016 FNU47 Jäta kommentaar

Vajuta SIIN lugeda Premier Poksimeistrite veebisaidilt

Sündinud ja kasvanud poksirikkas linnas Philadelphias, Williams on kogu oma tõusu 154-naelasel tõusul tõestanud, et suudab sind pähe lüüa sama palju kui aju. Kuidas muidu seletate 26-aastase praegust seitsme järjestikuse heitluse seeriat nii palju, et ei kaotaks ühtegi vooru?

Rohkem kui lihtsalt osav poksija, Williams on ka tõeline magusa teaduse õppur, nii ja ringist välja. Tegelikult, “J Rock” peab nii sügavalt lugu oma spordiala ajaloost, et tekib tunne, et ta veetis mängulegende uurides sama palju aega kui kolme löögi kombinatsiooni täiustamiseks.

Rääkides ajaloost, Julian Williams (22-0-1, 14 Kos) soovib teha mõned oma Detsember 10 kui ta esitab väljakutse 154-naelasele meistrile Jermall Charlo Galeni keskuses USC ülikoolilinnakus Los Angeleses (Showtime, 10 Pärastlõunal. JA/7 Pärastlõunal. PT).

Hiljutisel pausil oma esimese maailmatiitlivõistluste treenimiseks, Williams vestles meiega mehest, kelle arvates on ta ajaloo suurim võitleja, jabi tähtsus, tema meeletu kulinaariaoskus ja ämbrite nimekirja esikoht (vihje: Ta on selle ületamise äärel).

Kas teil on poksikangelane?

Austan Muhammad Alit kui ajaloo nüüdisaegset kangelast asjade eest, mille eest ta seisis - mitte ainult selle eest, mida poksis tehti. Mulle, Ali poks [saavutused] on suhtelised ja väiksem osa tema pärandist võrreldes sellega, mis seisis väljaspool rõngast.

Muhammad Ali tõelist suurust esindas see, mida ta tegi maailma heaks, ja tribüünid, mida ta võttis rohkem kui oma võitlusi.

Kõigist poksijatest ajaloos, kes sa tahaksid, et sa oleksid võidelnud, ja kuidas oleks võitlus välja mängitud?

Ma ei taha teile tulemust anda, aga ma ütleksin, et Sugar Ray Robinson, sest minu arust, ta on parim võitleja, kes kunagi elanud. Ja ma tahaksin näha, kuidas ma seisaksin kõigi aegade parima võitleja vastu, kandes kindapaari.

Sugar Ray Robinsonil oli kõik-suurepärane löögivalik, oskused, jab, kiirus. Ta oli tohutu võitleja. Ma pole kunagi varem ega hiljem kedagi nii head näinud.

See toimus ajal, kui kutid kaklesid kaks-kolm korda kuus kuue untsi hobusejõhvikinnastega. Nad tegid seda parima konkurentsi vastu. Ma mõtlen, ta võitleks Jake LaMotta ja Kid Gavilaniga 15 vooru heitlustes. Nad lihtsalt ei ehita enam selliseid mehi. Seda ei juhtu.

Sugar Ray Robinson tooks minus esile parima ja annaks mulle hea ülevaate selle kohta, kui hea ma tegelikult olen. Ma ei austaks kunagi Sugar Ray Robinsoni, öeldes, et peksan teda. Austan legende. Tahaksin lihtsalt näha, kui hästi ma seda tüüpi tüüpide vastu teeksin.

Lõpeta see lause: Kui mitte poksimiseks, Oleksin …

… ilmselt alles lõpetamas ülikooli, õppelaenu tagasi maksmine ja armetus. Tõenäoliselt oleksin ärijuhtimise eriala.

Milline on avalikkuse suurim väärarusaam poksijate osas?

Et me kõik oleme rumalad.

Mis on kõige raskem, mida olete kunagi tabanud, ja kuidas sa sellega hakkama said?

Sa tead, mida, Ma ei püüa kõlada kidurana ega midagi sellist, aga ma ei mäleta. Mul on olnud raskeid võitlusi, aga ma ei mäleta tegelikult vastast, kes oleks mulle niimoodi väga haiget teinud.

Pole kunagi olnud seal, kus ma olin, “Oh mu jumal, lööb ta nii kõvasti,” või “Ta lõi mind nii kõvasti, Ma ei suutnud end kokku võtta.” Ma pole seda kunagi kogenud. Ma ei ütle, et see ei saaks juhtuda; Ma lihtsalt ütlen, et seda pole juhtunud.

Enda välistamine, kes on tänapäeval maailma parim nael-naela eest võitleja?

See on lähedal, sest arvan, et keegi pole praegu juhtpositsiooni võtnud. Ma ütleksin ilmselt Andre Ward, kuid samal ajal on tal olnud nii palju vaba aega.

Teil on seal selliseid tüüpe nagu Sergei Kovalev, kes on kõiki lahti teinud, ja siis on teil sellised tüübid nagu Guillermo Rigondeaux, kes on ilmselt parim võitleja maailmas, kuid tal pole kunagi olnud võimalust seda suurel laval tõestada.

Siis olete saanud Floyd Mayweather Jr., kes on minu arvates maailma parim selge võitleja, kui ta on aktiivne. Kuid ta on pensionil.

Sellist on lihtsalt raske valida. Ma ei suutnud ühte valida. Ma saaksin ühe valida järgmise aasta alguses.

Millisest toidust on kõige raskem loobuda võitluseks treenides?

Mulle meeldivad pasta ja punane liha. Treenides ei söö ma liiga palju punast liha, sest seda on liiga raske lõigata. Mulle meeldivad praad ja lambaliha ning pasta. Mulle lihtsalt meeldib kogu pasta üldiselt.

Koolitusest rääkides, mis on teie lemmikharjutus?

Mul pole tegelikult ühtegi. Ma vihkan neid kõiki. Ma lihtsalt teen neid, sest ma pean neid tegema.

Aga lemmikpunch viskamiseks?

See sõltub sellest, kellega ma võitlen, aga ma peaksin kindlasti ütlema, sest jab paneb kõik paika. See on tavaliselt minu kaugusemõõtja, ja tavaliselt suudan ma tüliga võitlust kontrollida. Ma kasutan seda üsna tõhusalt igas võitluses.

Kas teil on lemmik poksifilm?

Raevuv pull. mulle meeldis Kivine, ka. Mulle meeldisid enamasti kõik Kivine filmid.

Kes on teie esitusloendis üks artist, kes võitlusfänne üllataks?

Teddy Pendergrass. Kasvasin üles koos ema ja isaga, kellele tema muusika meeldis.

Kas jookseksite pigem rivistaja otsa või löönuks ta kingadest välja?

See sõltub sellest, kes see on. Kui on [pensionile jäänud Baltimore Ravensi legend] Ray Lewis, Ma peaksin teda hurjutama. Sest ma ei taha, et ta mind tabaks.

Lõpeta see lause: Inimesed oleksid seda teades üllatunud …

… Olen hämmastav kokk. Ma oskan süüa teha palju asju - peaaegu kõike.

Kui saaksite maailmas ühte asja muuta, mis see oleks?

Rassi suhted. Maailm oleks parem koht, kui kõik ei näeks nii palju värve.

Mis on teie elu koppade loendis?

Ma tahan olla maailmameister, mida ma saan järgmises võitluses Jermall Charlo peksmisega saavutada. See on see, mida ma olen kogu elu nii palju vaeva näinud.

Mul ei ole ämbernimekirja soovi langevarjuhüppesse minna enne, kui see kõik on läbi, või minna Jaapanisse või midagi muud. It’s simple: Olen pool elu töötanud maailmameistriks saamiseks, ja see on minu ämbrite nimekirjas kõige olulisem.

Jermall Charlo vs.. Julian Williamsi meediakonverentsi kõne ärakiri

November 12, 2016 FNU47 Jäta kommentaar

Richard Schaefer

Suur aitäh. Ja tänan kõiki meediakanaleid, kes osalesid tänases kõnes. Ma olen väga põnevil. Minu esimene poksi konverentskõne pärast peaaegu kolme aastat spordist väljas olemist. Nii, Ma olen väga põnevil, et saan sellega uuesti tegeleda.

Ja mis oleks parem viis seda teha, kui sellise topeltpäisega? See on piisavalt haruldane, kui kohtumine on nagu Jesus Cuellar versus Abner Mares, mis on kogu aasta kirjutatud aasta võitlusest.

Kuid selleks on Jermall Charlo versus Julian Williams, mis on veel üks aasta kandidaadi võitlus – Ma võin teile seda kohe öelda. Et oleks kaks aasta võitlust kandidaati, see on nagu tänapäev ja vanus peaaegu ennekuulmatu. Ja nii, see on tõesti väga eriline maius.

Tahan ennekõike tänada võitlejaid nende suurepäraste matšidega nõustumise eest. Tahan tänada SHOWTIME-d spordile pühendumise eest, selliste võitluste tutvustamiseks. Stephen Espinoza läheb sinna välja ja tahab kokku panna konkurentsivõimelised matšid. Ja ma arvan, et ta teeb täiesti kohutavat tööd.

Aga enne kui alustame, Ma tahan lihtsalt lühidalt kommenteerida. Poksisport kaotas eile suure sõbra, Todd Harlib, keda võis näha lugematutes hävitajate ruumides, sealhulgas Jermall Charlo, kes on täna meiega telefonis.

Meie mõtted ja palved on sel ajal tema pere ja sõprade ning kogu poksiringkonna juures. Nii, Mul on väga kahju, et pean sellest teatama.

See võitlus siin, mida me täna arutame, on kahtlemata üks parimaid võitlusi, mida selles spordis saab teha, olenemata kaaluklassist. See on võitlus, mida võitluse fännid ja meedia tõesti nõudsid.

Paljud inimesed mõtlesid, kas see kunagi juhtub? Ja siin see on. Siin see on, üks enim räägitud kaklustest, 10. detsembril SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXINGis pakuti üks enim küsitletud võitlusi selle Cuellari ja Marese kohutava topeltpea osana.

Võitlus toimub koostöös Los Angelese Lõuna-California ülikooli Galeni keskuse otseülekandega poksi meistrivõistlustega, mis on suurepärane uus tipptehnoloogia areen, kus mängivad ka ülikooli korvpalli- ja võrkpallimeeskonnad. Seal on ka varem peetud võitlust raskekaalu tiitlivõistlusega Bermane Stiverne'i ja Chris Arreolaga.

Nii, kui elate Los Angelese piirkonnas ja selle ümbruses või kuskil Lõuna-Californias, palun, veenduge, et tulete välja ja olete osa sellest kohutavast kahest peast. Piletid on saadaval ja nende hinnad algavad nii vähe kui $35.00. Fantastilised istmed $35.00

Piletite ostmiseks, palun, minna www.galentix.com.

Nüüd on rõõm teile tutvustada meie kaasreklaamijat. See võitlus on Ringstar Spordi ja TGB Promotions'i kaasreklaam. Tom Brown on sealse Galeni keskuse areeniga väga tuttav. Tema oli see, kes pani Stiverne'i ja Arreolaga võitluse juba päevil kokku. Nii et nüüd on rõõm anda see mõne kommentaari tegemiseks üle Tom Brownile.

Tom Brown

Hästi, tänan teid väga, Richard. Ma tahan lihtsalt öelda, et TGB Promotionsil on hea meel olla taas kord partneriks Stephen Espinoza ja SHOWTIME suurepärase meeskonnaga koos Richard Schäferi ja Ringstar Sportsiga.

Samuti on mul hea meel naasta Lõuna-California ülikooli kaunisse ülikoolilinnakusse Galeni keskuses.

Charlo ja Julian Williamsi meistrivõistluste võitluse idee on – nagu Richard just mainis – on kahe parema juunioride keskkaalu vahelise matši vahele jätmine.

Nii, see, koos põhiturniiriga – WBA sulgkaalu meistrivõistluste võitlus Cuellari ja Marese vahel muudab selle ilma. Ja nagu Richard ütles, kaks võimalikku aasta võitlust kandidaadivõitlust.

Richard ja mina töötame välja kaardi alla pakitud tegevuse kokkupaneku, mis kuulutatakse välja varsti. Nii, ootame suurepärast ööd 10. detsembril suurepärases kohas, kus on veelgi suuremad võitlused. Suur aitäh.

R. Schaefer

Suur aitäh, Tom. Nüüd on järgmine mees, keda ma tutvustan, minu hea sõber. Oleme tuttavad juba ammu. Ja panime kokku ühed mineviku suurimad võitlused. Tagasi 2013 kui olime tules.

Kõik tunnistasid SHOWTIME'i poksispordi liidriks. Ja seda Stephen Espinoza tõttu. Stephen on ennekõike fänn. Ja talle meeldib seal istuda ja suurepäraseid matše näha. Ja see on täpselt see, mida te siin saate.

Nii, meie kui võitlusfännid. Meie kui meedia liikmed oleme promootorid või mis iganes, võime tõeliselt kasu saada Stepheni kirest neid hämmastavaid võitlusi kokku panna.

Nii, mul on rõõm teile nüüd tutvustada – Ma tean, et tema tiitel on spordi eest vastutav asepresident, kuid kutsun teda SHOWTIME Spordi presidendiks. ma alati – ja ma tegin seda alati. Pidage meeles?

Stephen Espinoza

Jah, sul on õigus. Esimesest päevast alates oli mul see töö. Aitäh, Richard. Oleme põnevil, et saame taas koos töötada Richard ja Ringstar ning Tom Brown ja TGB. Ja eriline teretulnud Richard, keda meil on hea meel spordis tagasi näha. Mitte ainult sellepärast, et ta on mu sõber, vaid ka sellepärast, et ta on üks selle spordi standup-poisse. Väga professionaalne ja sirge laskur. See on midagi, mida see spordiala saab rohkem kasutada.

Nii, Tomi ja Richardi kombinatsioon on kaks sirget noolt – nii sirged kui nad tulevad. Ja mul on hea meel mõlemaga koostööd teha.

Sel aastal on SHOWTIME tõesti jätkanud suurimate ja parimate võitluste pakkumist. Ja ma arvan, et pole mingit kahtlust, et meil on poksi kõigi võrkude parimatest ja olulisematest matšidest kõige tugevam koosseis.

2016 siiani on kaasatud kaks aasta võitluse kandidaati, aasta KO kandidaat. Võitlus kümne parima vastase võitluse ees.

Ja kui mähkime 2016 ja minna sisse 2017, kindlasti tahame seda hoogu jätkata. Teatasime hiljuti seitsmest suurepärasest matšist – 14 top 10 võitlejad võtavad üksteist – kuues maailmameistritiitlivõistluses.

Ja me võiksime numbritega jätkata. Kolm võitlust, mis on divisjonis number kaks versus number kaks. Kuid selle tegemise naudingute hulka kuulub ka selliste võitluste tekitamine.

Sellest ajast peale, kui Floyd pensionile jäi, veidi enam kui aasta tagasi, on üks küsimus, mille isiklikult saan, ja me kõik siin SHOWTIME saame järjekindlalt.

Ja see on, sa tead, kes on järgmine täht? Kes on järgmine superstaar? Kes hakkab seda sporti edasi kandma. Ja selle poksi spordi hea külg on see, et see selgub ringis. Ma ei saa sulle öelda.

Isegi kui ma peaksin valima kaks või seal, mis arvasin, et see areneb nii, vaata – nad peavad ringis esinema. Kuid see on selline võitlus. Meeldib, Jermall Charlo versus Julian Williams, mis määravad, kes on järgmised tähed.

Nende karjääri tippudes on kaks noort võitlejat. Üks maailmameister, kes on ennast tõestanud selle spordiala tulevaste staaride hulka. Ja võttes ette ühe kõige kõvema pretendendi Williamsi mis tahes divisjonis.

Oleme mõlema võitleja üle väga uhked. Mõlemad on SHOWTIME siin kodus kasvanud. Jermall on meiega varem viis korda võidelnud. Julian on SHOWTIME-l olnud seitse korda. Nii, oleme uhked, et mõlemad rollid, mida SHOWTIME on mänginud nende mõlema karjääri jooksul.

Kuid mis veel tähtsam, oleme uhked, et need tüübid astusid üles sellist lahingut pidama. Jermall Charlo oli üks põnevamaid, noor, meistrid spordis. Ta on seda tiitlit edukalt kaitsnud, rajas oma kodulinna Houstoni fännibaasi, ja tõesti ootab tõesti jagunemise üle võtmist ja selle spordiala staaride tõusmist.

Julian Williams on olnud mees, keda inimesed on juba mõnda aega vaikselt tõusvate tähtede seas tuvastanud. Ma tean, et ta on kannatlikult oodanud – ja mõnikord mitte nii kannatlikult ootama – tema lasu eest. Ja nii ma tean, et ta saab valmis.

Ma arvan, et see on mõnevõrra kohane, et see võitlus kestab 10. detsembril, nädal enne väga legendaarse Philadelphia maailmameistri Bernard Hopkinsi pensionile jäämist. Philly võitlejad on pikaajaline traditsioon. Ja selleks, et nimetada Philly võitlejaks, on vaja palju tööd ja erilist isiksust. Lihtsalt Philly's kaklemine ei tee sinust Philly võitlejat. Ja ma tean, et Julian on valmis seda Philly võitleja tiitlit kandma veel aastaid uhkelt ja aktiivselt.

Nii, kõigist võitlustest, mille oleme välja kuulutanud. Ja seal on palju kvaliteetseid võitlusi. See võitlus – Charlo-Williamsi võitlus – on üks neist, millest ma olen kõige põnevil. Kaks noort kutti oma karjääri tipul võitlevad tõepoolest selle üle, kes võiks seda jaotust veel pikka aega kontrollida.

See aitab kindlaks teha, kes on meie spordiala tulevikutähed. Richard?

R. Schaefer

Suur aitäh, Stephen, väga hästi öeldud. Ja minu jaoks, me kõik teame, et nad on kohutavad võitlejad. Mõlemad on võitmatud. Olen neid tundnud – mõlemad – pikka aega. Olen olnud seotud paljude nende võitlustega.

They are terrific young men outside of the ring as well. And just as good as it gets inside of the ring. Nii, they’re really – mõlemad – they carry the total package. And you’re right, Stephen, he has patience and sometimes not so patiently been waiting.

It is a pleasure for me now to introduce to you Julian Williams, who is trained by Stephen Edwards. He’s the number one ranked contender by the IBF in the Junior Middleweight division. And he secured his top ranking after stopping Marcello Matano in the 7th round in March.

He’s undefeated with a record of 22-0-1, 14 knockouts, Julian Williams.

Julian Williams

Hei, how’s everybody doing? First I want to send my thoughts prayers out to Todd Harlib and his whole family and loved ones. He was a great guy. He was a great cut man and even better guy. And I consider him as a friend. Ma arvan, et see on praegu kurb aeg, nii, Ma tahan seda kõigepealt teha.

Koolitus on läinud väga hästi. Meil on väga hea meeskond ja palju head sparringut. Meil on siiani olnud väga hea laager. Ma arvan, et see on tõesti, väga hea võitlus. Ma arvan, et see oli võitlus, mida hardcore poksifännid pidid nägema.

See oli võitlus, mis pidi juhtuma. Tunnustan Charlot, et ta astus üles ja oli tõeline meister. Ja ma tahan näidata maailmale seda, mida ma juba tean. Olen äärmiselt motiveeritud. Ja ma tean, et ka Jermall on motiveeritud.

Nii, Ma arvan, et te näete tõelist tulistamist. Tal on olemas kõik tööriistad ja oskused. Ja mul on olemas kõik tööriistad ja oskused. Ja te näete, kes sel õhtul välja tuleb.

Ja mina olen 100% kindel, et see olen mina.

R. Schaefer

. Now Jermall Charlo and his brothers, hästi, I’ve known them since their first fight. And what a journey it has been.

Today he is the undefeated IBF Junior Middleweight World Champion. He’s training with Ronnie Shields. One of the most legendary trainers out of Houston, Texas.

He won his title by stopping Cornelius Bundrage in the third-round last September. And has defended his belt already twice including a unanimous decision victory over former – very game world champion – Austin Trout in May.

And it’s a pleasure now for me to introduce to you again, somebody I’ve introduced before many times. The IBF Junior Middleweight World Champion, Jermall Charlo.

Jermall Charlo

Aitäh, Richard. Like Julian said, Todd was my man. And I want to give his family and everyone that’s close to Todd my prayers and my condolences.

I hear Julian talk about he’s 100% valmis. And he’s 100% sure he’s going to win this fight. But I’ve heard that before. I’m ready for the stakes. I’m ready for this level. Sorry the fight took so long. It wasn’t necessarily up to me. But I think everything happens for a reason. And it’s perfect timing and I can’t wait to get in there and show the world what I’m actually made of against a guy that’s so highly confident about the things that I do.

R. Schaefer

Korras. I agree with you. Things do happen for a reason. I’m very happy that I’m the one who has the honor to promote this fight and this entire card. I know it’s going to be toe-to-toe battles with the two of you.

And I know with Cueller and Mares as well. Nad ütlevad, et stiilid panevad kaklema. Ma arvan, et nende nelja võitleja stiilid on suurepäraselt tehtud. Ja ma lihtsalt ei jõua oodata 10. detsembrit Galeni keskuses ja elada SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING.

Avame selle nüüd meediale, et esitada küsimusi kõigile kõnes osalejatele.

Jermall, Ma tean, et teil pidi olema protseduur, mille tegite vabatahtlikult silma peal. Kas saaksite selle kohta üksikasju anda? Mis küsimus täpselt oli? Kas see oli lihtsalt küsimus, nagu, sa oled pime nagu nahkhiir? Või oli seal midagi muud toimumas?

J. Charlo

See ei olnud tingimata vabatahtlikult. Mul oli üsna palju nägemisprobleeme kuni viimase võitluseni Las Vegases.

Ma võitlesin võitlusega. Korrigeerisin ennast, et saaksin ebaselgelt võidelda. Nii et nüüd sain protseduuri tehtud. Jah, the fight was supposed to happen in October. And I wanted it then. But it was just for me to be able to clear the medical exam. Less stress now to go ahead and go 20/20 and I’m ready now.

Like I said everything happens for a reason. And crystal clear vision is one of the things that helps me make the fight easier.

And which eye was it, muide, Jermall?

J. Charlo

Both eyes.

Both of them? Korras, and now you feel like a new person?

J. Charlo

Ma olen 110%, crystal clear, Ma olen hea. Ma olen valmis.

How much better will that make you? That you can now see clearly. I mean your fighting skills are one thing. But now you can see the target, ilmselt, much better it sounds like. I mean do you think that will make you a much better, precise fighter?

J. Charlo

It gives me a lot more confidence. Muidugi, it’s something important and I probably had to get it. I haven’t fought with crystal clear vision my whole life.

So now I’m even more motivated motivated. I’m eager to get in there to see what the new person is like.

Did you think about having this earlier in your career?

J. Charlo

Jah, I always wanted it. I always wanted it. But I’m a superstitious guy. Nii, I like to keep things, the way I always wanted. It’s just something I feel like it’s going to take me to the next level.

Some people suggested maybe he would vacate the title and go up to middleweight to not fight you. When all that was happening and you were sitting there as a mandatory for him – what was your personal feeling about what was going on?

J. Williams

I didn’t really know about the medical situation until about mid-September.

I actually thought that he would fight. And not think about the notion that he would vacate. The fact that he kept complaining about weight the previous fights. If the fight was being delayed, people are going to start saying this is how boxing is.

But I didn’t think that he was – I thought that he was putting the fight off for whatever reason. But like I said, at the time I didn’t know what the reason was.

All that is under the bridge. It doesn’t even matter anymore. The fight is December 10th. You know what I mean. He said he’s going to bring his A game. He’s got 20/20 vision. I had 20/20 vision my whole life. Now we’re even.

Nii, there will be no excuses.

When you found out that it was finally done and it was good to go. And SHOWTIME was going to announce it and the fight was on. What was your feeling? Was it relief? Was it excitement?

J. Williams

I just felt like I wanted to get to work. The whole process has made me practice my patience.

I wasn’t overly excited because I knew I would fight for the world title my next fight with someone. I was more so like let’s look at the work. I want to start training camp immediately and get myself ready to win.

Was there any frustration that you guys were not in the main event? And that you’re in a co-feature. Or did you kind of understand because Abner Mares is Southern California. And that’s the reason why you guys are put in the co-feature.

J. Charlo

Richard Schaefer is a good promoter. He has a lot of experience in the game. I’m not worried about being the opening or the main event or any of that.

Muidugi, I’m tired of being in second place. I feel like Kevin Durant. But it’s not in the sense of, nagu, nothing I can do about it.

And then Julian, same question for you. Is there any surprise that you guys were put in the co-feature and not the main event?

J. Williams

Et olla aus, I didn’t really even think about it. I just want to get in the ring and put some gloves on so we can get this thing going.

I think everything happens for a reason. Abner Mares is a really good fighter. He’s like a three division champion. He earned his stripes.

Nii, ilmselt, we’ve got more work to do before we can headline the card. Nii, I didn’t think about it and on top on of that I never thought about.

R. Schaefer

The fact is you’re absolutely right. Each one of those events could be a main event. And in any other network would be a main event. Some other networks would probably even make it a pay-per-view.

Nii, that’s how good this card is. It could have very easily brrn Charlo-Williams is the main event if it would have been in Philly. It would have been. If it would have been in Houston, it would have been.

It’s in LA in Southern California. Nii, that’s why we have Cuellar and Mares. This is about creating excitement. It’s about the fans and so on. All four of those guys are just terrific champions. That’s what they are. Terrific people. It doesn’t really impact one way or the other.

S. Espinoza

And I’ll add from the network perspective, one of the things that we were grateful for in working with fighters like these and promotors like Tom and Richard is, what we want to put together as far as blockbuster events, we don’t have those ego problems.

Richard is absolutely right. Not every network programs this way. But what we’re trying to do – we as a group of fighters, edendajaid, juhid, is show off the best this sport has to offer.

Nii, we’re really over delivering on each card. This clearly could’ve been a main event in Houston or Philly or anywhere else. But the idea was, this was going to be a slate of A++ level fights top to bottom.

And that requires the commitment of everybody. And people realizing it’s about not having ego. And just realizing that rising tide lifts all boats.

Jermall, where do you think Julian Williams rates as an opponent?

J. Charlo

We’re both on the way up to the top level. He’s definitely one of my best opponents up to this date. He’s hungry as me. I’m not necessarily worried about any of the things he said about being as hungry as he is to be fighting me. I was that guy too. Being ready to fight K9 and waiting and waiting.

He’s my toughest opponent. And I’m ready for it.

Tell us about taking this fight. And why it’s important to you.

J. Charlo

Every fight is a hard fight. Every fight I have to come out and give my best and be on my A-game. So it’s a good fight to me technically. This is the Roy Jones and Bernard Hopkins back in middleweight type of fight. We’re going to get down and get ready. I’m ready for it.

This part of our legacy is everything that I’ve wanted, growing up as a young fighter, young champion. Seeing these great fights being broadcast on SHOWTIME. And it’s, nagu, now is my turn. And I have to deliver everything that I’ve always wanted. And that is something I’ve been waiting for.

And it just so happens it has to be Julian Williams. And like I said we both came up the hard route. It wasn’t, nagu, as easy as I give my hand off to my challenger being one of the best in the world. And that’s kind of what I want to be classified as.

Julian, ka, you’ve been very vocal about this fight. Tell us why you’re so confident you’re going to be able to win this fight.

J. Williams

I’m confident because of what I can do.

I’m confident because I want to be the junior middleweight champion of the world. I think Jermall’s a good fighter. But he doesn’t recognize the scene before. He’s engaged, tugev, and fast. I just want to make sure we have no excuses about weight and that kind of talk.

J. Charlo

No weight problem. There’s no weight problem. Get that out of your mind. There’s no weight problem. I’ll tell you everybody knows.

You had talked about Todd Harlib earlier. Can you elaborate on what he meant to you? And the confidence he brought to you as a cutman?

J. Charlo

Todd taught me a lot. He meant a lot to me also. Ronnie Shields and Todd elaborated about how long they’d been around the boxing game and seen the same things they’re seeing now.

Todd, meant a lot. Just spoke to him, nagu, a couple of days ago because he sent me a few guys to work with. I know he had went over to Russia and caught a little bug. But I didn’t think it would be nothing. I prayed for him. And hoped he got better.

It’s like I said, it just happened to be something that, I can’t control. Nii, I just have to keep fighting. And hope that my next cut man is just as good as Todd. I’ve even been across the ring and looked at Todd working on another guy. And he came talked to me and let me know that it was just all business. And Jermall, just stay focused. Don’t worry about anybody.

I’m just putting the fight in God’s hands. And hoping that I never have to need the urgency to need Todd again.

I spoke to Ronnie, he said that you told him that this fight is going to be a little more special because you’re going to possibly dedicate this fight to him. Is that going to take any form representing his name on your robe or your trunks or anything like that?

J. Charlo

Jah, I’m dedicating this fight to Todd. Actually once we map everything out. But I want to keep talking about it.

I dedicate this fight to Todd. He’s a real close friend of mine. And it’s just unfortunate for me to have to get in the locker room and not have Todd helping me out and everything like that. So of course, I feel some sadness about him not being here. But I know he’s in good hands. So that’s the main thing.

Is this fight right here the first one that really will test you and perhaps take you to the next level and start to light that fuse for you?

J. Williams

Jah, kindlalt. Kindlalt. Whenever you’ve got a 50/50 võitlus, two guys 26-years-old both in the prime of their careers. It’s going to be a test for both fighters.

It’s rare we see two fighters get in the ring in this type of fight. So I think it’s definitely the first step in building my legacy.

Richard, what does this fight represent in the scheme of this division which is a stacked division and these two fighters in particular?

R. Schaefer

I think you have two of the best fighters in their division fighting in this particular fight. And so this is an extremely significant fight for the division. And these are two – somebody said before – these are two young undefeated and confident fighters who dare to be great.

At this point in their career fighting each other they dare to be great. And that is. These kinds of fights will separate one from the other. And I think the sky is the limit here for within that division and potentially other divisions.

But that’s how you build a champion into a star and then a super star. These kinds of fights, sa tead, these kinds of meaningful fights. And in order for that to happen, you need to have two fighters who are willing to challenge themselves.

And as I said, dare to be great.

Jermall, what weaknesses do you see in Julian Williams that you plan to exploit on fight night?

J. Charlo

Nothing, he’s a strong guy. Whatever you all want to say about him. He’s good, old-school fighter. I’m tired of hearing questions about what he’s done or what he does.

I’m a champion for a reason. I’m staying champion. I don’t plan on moving. I don’t plan on none of that stuff that you all talked about. Ma olen hea.

What do you consider your biggest advantage going into this fight?

J. Charlo

That I’m not supposed to go and be in some superstar. Vaata. It’s a business. I’m betting and fighting for everything that boxing has to offer.

And my advantage is being focused and humble and strong-minded like I’ve always been.

Nii võitlejad, how important is building a new chapter in your career? And maybe a new idol in boxing.

J. Williams

Oi, it’s an extremely big fight. I think whoever wins this fight is going to be considered the best junior middleweight in the world. I think whoever wins the fight will have the most significant win in the junior middleweight division.

I think since Canelo was basically says he’s not fighting in this division. Whoever wins the fight is going to be king of the division.

Nii, I think it’s extremely, extremely important.

J. Charlo

Very big fight, very important fight for me, clinch the division. See saab olema hea võitlus, üks. I’m ready to just give everything I have. It’s going to be a good fight for me. And it’s going to be a good fight for Julian. We both hit it big and we both need to give the fans what they want to see. Nii, it’s that time.

Richard, how important for you was what this first event with Ringstar Sports would be? And for Stephen, how important was having these great fights for Showtime this year?

S. Espinoza

Hästi, from the SHOWTIME perspective, our goal is to provide spectacular fights every month or more often if we can. Sometimes dues to scheduling or injuries or things, there are some gaps in our schedule.

But once we came back, we wanted to end the year strong. And really, send a message about our commitment to the sport. Nii, with the help of the promotors, the managers, and most importantly the fighters, we’re able to put together a slate that is stronger than anything we’ve seen again in recent boxing programming schedule. It really is all without the use of pay-per-view. And it’s all top guy versus top guy.

It’s something that is very special to us. We’re very proud of. And we’re looking to continue it throughout all of 2017.

R. Schaefer

Hästi, and for me, I think my reputation speaks for itself. I like to put together big events, significant fights, and that’s what I’ve always done.

And this right here is no exception to come back and together promote a card which consists without any question of two potential Fight of the Year candidates. Two barn burners in one night is a dream come true.

And to do that for my hometown. To do it from the University of Southern California, USC, Galen Center the newest indoor venue in Los Angeles. And the university where two of my sons go to school. It’s a very special night for me.

And it’s a very special night as well because Charlo and Williams and Mares and Cuellar – I have known these young men for a long time. So really it’s nice – it’s like a coming home or coming back.

Since this was the last question, Ma saan aru,, I’d like to thank you all. But I want to make one comment. Jah, they both have 20/20 vision. But let there be no question about it. The name of this card is 50/50. And you know why it’s 50/50.

Because these two fights are 50/50 võitleb. Ja nii, may the better man win that night. Nagu fänn, Ma olen põnevil. I can’t wait for December 10th. Palun, palun, make it out to Galen Center. Jaoks $35.00 you can watch two of the best fights of the year in one night at the Galen Center. Or if you can’t make it there. Then make sure you turn in on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING at 10:00 pm ET/7:00 pm PT. I’m looking forward to see you all during fight week. And thank you very much.

Showtime^® Continues To Deliver Boxing’s Biggest and Best Fights
Bouts Presented In Association With Premier Boxing Champions Include
Garcia vs. Thurman, Frampton vs. Santa Cruz II and Cuellar vs. Emad

NEW YORK (Oktoober. 25, 2016) – SHOWTIME Sports will present seven marquee boxing matches pitting top-10 rated champions in the prime of their careers against fellow top-10 rated challengers over four consecutive months beginning in December. Ajakava, which is the second robust boxing programming announcement from SHOWTIME in 2016, was announced today by Stephen Espinoza, Executive Vice President ja peadirektor, Showtime Sport. The lineup includes two long-awaited championship matchups, Jeesus Cuellar vs. Abner Mares and Jermall Charlo vs. Julian Williams; the can’t-miss featherweight rematch between Carl Frampton and Leo Santa Cruz, and a welterweight unification blockbuster between undefeated champions Keith Thurman and Danny Garcia. All four of these anticipated bouts will be presented in association with Premier Boxing Champions.

SHOWTIME Sports produced the strongest lineup of world-class boxing events of any network this year, delivering 18 world title fights devoid of mismatches and “tune-up” fights. The best fought the best, and the results were spectacular: two “Fight of the Year” contenders, Thurman-Shawn Porter and Santa Cruz-Frampton; a “Knockout of the Year” frontrunner by one of boxing’s biggest punchers, Deontay Wilder; and the arrival of one of boxing’s most marketable new stars in Anthony Joshua. SHOWTIME also featured the trio of junior middleweight champions, the Charlo twins, Jermall and Jermell, and Erislandy Lara, all in title fights on one card; highlighted the world’s best featherweights in Santa Cruz, Frampton, Gary Russell Jr. and Lee Selby; and set the table for the title unification fight between super middleweight champions Badou Jack and James DeGale.

Boxing’s brightest stars will again take center stage on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING^® as the network prepares to present the following seven matchups, including six world title fights, over a 12-week span. All bouts will air live on SHOWTIME with the exception of Garcia vs. Thurman, which will either air live in Primetime on CBS or live on SHOWTIME.

Seven of the 14 fighters are undefeated, while the champions and challengers in the six world title fights boast a combined 313 wins versus just six losses.

Detsember 10: Jeesus Cuellar (28-1, 21 Kos) vs. Abner Mares (29-2-1, 15 Kos)*
Jermall Charlo (24-0, 18 Kos) vs. Julian Williams (22-0-1, 14 Kos)*

Jaanuar 14: Badou Jack (20-1-2, 12 Kos) vs. James DeGale (23-1, 14 Kos)**

Jaanuar 28: Carl Frampton (23-0, 14 Kos) vs. Leo Santa Cruz (32-1-1, 18 Kos)* Dejan Zlaticanin (18-0, 11 Kos) vs. Mikey Garcia (35-0, 29 Kos)*

Märts 4: Danny Garcia (32-0, 18 Kos) vs. Keith Thurman (27-0, 22 Kos)**

*World title bout
**World title unification bout

“This is a slate of high-level, evenly-matched, 50/50 fights – the best fighting the best – which has become the calling card of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING,” said Espinoza. “Every fight we are announcing today features a top 10-ranked champion taking on a top 10-ranked challenger; in many cases, it’s top-five vs. top-five.

“This is our second major boxing lineup announcement this year, further proof that no other network is delivering high-quality competitive fights – without relying on PPV – as consistently as SHOWTIME. No other network is as committed to driving the sport forward. SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING is giving subscribers the best that boxing has to offer.”

Laupäev, Detsember. 10 – SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING^®Presented in association with Premier Boxing Champions

In a highly anticipated featherweight blockbuster, karmi Jeesus Cuellarwill make the second defense of his WBA 126-pound title against Abner Mares, a three-division champ who has compiled a staggering resume while collecting belts at 118, 122 ja 126 naela. Cuellar vs. Mares is the latest in a lineup of action-oriented 126-pound showdowns assembled with the goal of unifying one of the sport’s most talent-laden divisions. It will be the fifth featherweight world championship of 2016 Showtime.

On Dec. 10, there also will be a long-awaited world championship contest between two undefeated 154-pound fighters. Jermall Charlo will make the third defense of his IBF Junior Middleweight World Championship against No. 1 kohustuslik challenger Julian Williams in a matchup of 26-year-old fighters at the top of their game. Charlo vs. Williams becomes the sixth title or world title eliminator in the 154-pound weight class in 2016 Showtime, a roster featuring eight of the top-10 fighters in the division.

Laupäev, Jan. 14 – SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING

Super middleweight world champions Badou Jack ja James DeGale are set to unify the 168-pound class. Both champions retained their titles on a doubleheader last Aprill 30 Showtime. Jack kept his WBC belt in a controversial draw with longtime titlist Lucian Bute that many thought Jack clearly won. Earlier that evening, DeGale successfully defended his IBF crown with a unanimous decision over mandated challenger Rogelio Medina. Jack landed 61 protsenti oma võimu löögid, while DeGale connected on an astonishing 66 protsenti oma võimu kaadrid. Nüüd, Jack and DeGale will face off in a long-awaited unification to determine the No. 1 fighter in the super middleweight division.

Laupäev, Jan. 28 – SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING
Presented in association with Premier Boxing Champions

The most anticipated rematch in boxing will take place when Carl Framptonja Leo Santa Cruz square off in an immediate rematch of a leading 2016 Fight of the Year kandidaat. In their first encounter Juuli 30 Showtime, former super bantamweight champ Frampton moved up in weight to challenge fellow unbeaten Santa Cruz, edging the three-division titlist in a firefight. The must-see rematch will be the sixth featherweight world championship on SHOWTIME in less than 12 kuud.

The co-feature pits undefeated lightweights Dejan Zlaticanin against resurgent fan favorite Mikey Garcia. Zlaticanin is making the first defense of his WBC 135-pound crown against the former two-division titlist in Garcia. The champion is the No. 1 võitleja 135 naela, while Garcia is aiming to become a three-division world champion in just his second fight back from a two-and-a-half year layoff.

Laupäev, Veebruar. 11 – SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING

Neli-divisjoni maailmameister Adrien Broner will face the streaking Adrian Granados in a matchup of top-10 ranked 140-pound fighters. The flashy Broner, who has captured titles at 130, 135, 140 ja 147 naela, has scored two consecutive knockouts in the super lightweight division. The hard-charging, all-action Granados, who pulled a stunning upset of then-undefeated WBC No. 1 ranked super lightweight Amir Imam in a dominating performance last November on SHOWTIME, thrives in the underdog role and has a deceiving record – his four defeats, all via split or majority decision, have come against opponents with a cumulative record of 52-1.

Laupäev, Märts 4 – SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING
Presented in association with Premier Boxing Champions

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