NATIONAL HARBOR, MD. (مايو 20, 2018) – WBC Light Heavyweight world champion أدونيس ستيفنسون and former two-division world champion بادو جاك fought to a highly competitive majority draw Saturday at Air Canada Centre in Toronto. At MGM National Harbor in Maryland, and in the opening bout on SHOWTIME, جاري راسل الابن. (29-1, 17 كوس) مهزوم جوزيف “جوجو” دياز جونيور. (26-1, 14 كوس).

Russell won his fight via unanimous decision, 115-113 و 117-111 مرتين, to retain his WBC featherweight world title.
The Stevenson-Jack bout was the main event of a split-venue SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING doubleheader. الideo recap here: HTTPS://s.sho.com/2LgUaqL
It was a day that saw SHOWTIME deliver three world championship fights from three countries.
In a bout filled with momentum swings, it was Jack (21-1-4, 13 كوس) who was the busier and more accurate fighter. While Stevenson (29-1-1, 24 كوس) outpointed Jack in the early rounds, the challenger turned it on in round number seven and dominated the champion in the second half of the fight. In rounds seven through ten, Jack out landed Stevenson 114-40. لكن, a ferocious body shot from the right hand of Stevenson in round ten altered the momentum back in his favor.
ستيفنسون, who has resided in Montreal since he was five-years-old, was able to gain a second wind in the 11عشرجولة, riding the momentum of the body shot that injured Jack. With everything on the line in the night’s final round, both fighters emptied the tank and left it all in the ring. Jack rebounded tremendously and when the final bell rang, it was Stevenson who was struggling to stay on his feet.
“I went to the body and saw that he was fatigued,” قال ستيفنسون, who moves to 9-0-1 في معارك لقب العالم. “I had to keep the pressure on him. He’s a slick fighter, a two-time world champion but I felt I won the fight.
“I used both hands. I touched him a lot with the right hand on the body and slowed him down. He tried to come and attack me. I feel like I won the fight but I’ll give him a rematch if he wants it.”
جاك, who started the fight sluggishly, thought he did enough in the later rounds to win the fight.
“I thought I definitely won the fight,” وقال جاك, who drew for the fourth time in his career. “No judge had him winning. I have no idea why I can’t get a decision. It could be that they’re jealous of Floyd and don’t like him. I’m one of his top fighters. I can’t do anything about it. I’m not the judge. I have to respect their decision.
“Maybe I started the fight too slow. I gave away those rounds. He didn’t really hit me. I can’t do anything about it, let’s do a rematch in Las Vegas. I came to his backyard, it’s time he comes out to Vegas.”
In the main event from MGM National Harbor in Maryland, it was a tactical and hard fought battle of two former U.S. Olympians as Russell Jr. (29-1, 17 كوس) defeated Diaz Jr. (26-1, 14 كوس). Russell won the contest via unanimous decision, 115-113 و 117-111 مرتين, to retain his WBC featherweight world title. The 29-year-old hometown favorite used his hand speed, quickness and relentless attack to overwhelm Diaz Jr., the previously undefeated top-ranked contender.
Russell Jr.’s game plan to dictate the pace and establish the jab was clear, throwing a career-high 587 jabs throughout the 12-round battle. While the number of punches landed were close (199-192 in favor of Russell Jr.), Russell Jr.’s output trumped Diaz Jr.’s accuracy as the champion’s career-high 992 punches thrown were the most ever for him in a CompuBox tracked fight. دياز جونيور. was committed to attacking the body of Russell Jr., but he was unable to break the champion down, who injured his right hand in the third round.
“We train to survive those body shots,” وقال راسل الابن. “We put the work in every day in the ring. We consistently grind and push ourselves to be great and we push ourselves to the limit.
“I was disappointed in my performance because I wasn’t planning on going the distance. I hurt the right hand, but I still had to use it, because he could not get past my jab.”
دياز جونيور. showed heart and youthful enthusiasm, closing the fight with a strong final round but ultimately, he lacked the creative, diversified attack needed to truly trouble Russell Jr.
“The game plan was to break him down with the body shots and start attacking him more in the later rounds,” said the South El Monte, كاليفورنيا. مواطن. “But I started attacking him too late and didn’t pick it up until the 8th or 9th round. جاري راسل الابن. is a tremendous fighter and he did a great job keeping me at bay.”
“This will just make me a hungrier fighter. I hope I got the respect of a lot of fight fans. I wanted to become champion against the best featherweight fighter in the world. Tonight wasn’t my night but I’m going to bounce back harder and I’ll be champion soon.”
Earlier in the day of in a live stream on the SHOWTIME Sports YouTube Channel and SHOWTIME Boxing Facebook Page, Josh Warrington became the new IBF featherweight world champion by upsetting Lee Selby in a split-decision victory. سجل القضاة نوبة 116-112, 115-113 و 113-115.
Saturday’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING doubleheader will replay on Monday at 10 عصرا. ET / PT على شوتايم EXTREME.

تورونتو (مايو 15, 2018) – WBC وزن خفيف الثقيل بطل العالم أدونيس “السيوبرمان” ستيفنسون is set to make his ninth, and perhaps most difficult, world title defense when he faces two-division world champion بادو جاك السبت, مايو 19 live on SHOWTIME from Air Canada Centre in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions. As fight week events in Toronto near, Stevenson shared some thoughts on his training camp and Saturday’s showdown.
“Badou is a two-time world champion for a reason,” قال ستيفنسون. “أنا لا التقليل منه. I know he’s durable and that he has attributes like good head movement and I’ll have to be ready for everything.”
Although many consider this Stevenson’s toughest defense in at least a few years, the champion’s mindset is unchanged from any of his other world title fights.
“Every fight is a big fight for me,” قال ستيفنسون. “This fight is nothing different. Badou Jack is a good fighter and people think very highly of him. But in my mind, he’s just the next guy that I have to beat.”
With knockout victories in seven of his nine world title fights, Stevenson has become known for exceptional power, especially in his left hand. This serves as a strategy for the champion and is something he trains for under the guidance of his trainer Javan “سكر” تل.
“I’m always going for the knockout,” قال ستيفنسون. “I’m still ready for 12 جولات, but I want the stoppage every time. I’m hungry for knockouts. If Badou comes in aggressive, this could end very quickly.
“You have to step into the ring with me to understand my power. If I connect right just one time, هذا هو, lights out. We train specifically for knockouts. You’ll have to wait and see how I do it on May 19.”
As the longest-reigning champion at 175-pounds, and the second longest-reigning champion in boxing, Stevenson has established his case as the best fighter in the division, something he looks to continue to prove on May 19.
“I’m the king at light heavyweight,” قال ستيفنسون. “I beat the king to become the king. I know that I’ve accomplished some great things and me and my team plan to continue to do everything we can to stay on top.
“I’m the best fighter in this division, فترة. When I win on May 19, I’ll just be doing my job. People might still talk trash, but I’ll still be the champ.”

Badou Jack Training Camp Quotes & صور

تورونتو (مايو 14, 2018) – As two-division world champion بادو جاك “السفاح” arrives in Canada for fight week in Toronto, he shared his thoughts on training camp and his matchup this Saturday, مايو 19 against WBC Light Heavyweight World Champion أدونيس ستيفنسون live on SHOWTIME from Air Canada Centre in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.
Jack conducted training camp at Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas with trainer Lou Del Valle and was able to have one of his smoothest and most effective camps of his career.
“This is the first camp that I haven’t had any injuries or felt sick at all during,” وقال جاك. “This is definitely one of the best, if not the best, camp of my career. We’ve watched film, kept a strict diet and really focused this camp on gearing up toward fight night.”
After a successful run as a 168-pound world champion, Jack moved up to light heavyweight last August and stopped 175-pound titlist Nathan Cleverly to become a two-division champion. لكن, Jack had already told his promoter Floyd Mayweather that he had his eye on the longest-reigning light heavyweight champion and he would go on to relinquish his belt to seek this fight against Stevenson.
“I asked for the Adonis Stevenson fight a long time ago and the Cleverly fight got me there,” وقال جاك. “We’ve been talking to Floyd a long time about this fight. He’s a man of his word and he always said that I was going to fight Stevenson. I’m grateful for what he’s done and now I just have to take advantage of the opportunity.”
Jack is well aware of the challenges presented by Stevenson, who last let an opponent go the distance in 2015, but enters this fight supremely confident in his abilities to bring the title back home.
“Adonis is definitely my toughest opponent on paper, but that doesn’t really mean he will be the toughest on fight night,” وقال جاك. “Adonis has always fought everyone put in front of him and I respect that. He’s definitely a good fighter, ولكن أنا مقاتل أفضل.
“Everyone knows about his power, but he has good skills and overall can do everything you need to in the ring. I am excited to fight him and beat him.”
With the recent birth of his second child and launch of his new nutrition supplement brand “Ripper Nutrition” providing extra motivation but also possible distractions, Jack has been able to maintain a laser focus on May 19 and a matchup he calls “the biggest of my career.”
“Start to finish this camp has really gone smoothly and I feel sharp and ready for fight night,” وقال جاك. “Boxing is all about fighting the best. He’s one of the best, ولكن حتى أنا. I’m ready to show everyone on May 19.”

أدونيس ستيفنسون مقابل. Badou Jack Media Predictions

تورونتو (مايو 11, 2018) – Members of the boxing media asked to weigh in on the world title showdown between light heavyweight champion أدونيس ستيفنسون وبطل العالم الدرجة الثانية بادو جاك all see a close fight on Saturday, مايو 19 but lean toward the challenger to take the crown from the champion live on SHOWTIME from Air Canada Centre in Toronto.
ستيفنسون مقابل. Jack is part of a split-site SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING®telecast beginning at 10 عصرا. ET/PT with featherweight champion Gary Russell, الابن. defending his title against mandatory title challenger Joseph Diaz from the MGM National Harbor in Maryland on Saturday, مايو 19.

Here is what the media had to say about this matchup:
Steve Simmons (Toronto Sun) – “Jack by decision – Adonis Stevenson is 40 years old and hasn’t fought in the past 11 months and has hardly been active the past two years. Look for Badou Jack to try and box Stevenson, stay away from his immense power and work his way to a 12-round decision.”
بوب فيلين (USA TODAY) – “ستيفنسون, 11th-round TKO: Jack is the bigger man, and has a six-year age advantage, and both men have not been real active recently. But Stevenson, even at 40, is an outstanding boxer-puncher and keeps impressing. I believe he will stop Jack late.”
لايل فيتزسيمونز (Boxing Scene / CBS.com) – “I love this fight. And every time I think about the result, my mind changes. Stevenson is certainly the puncher of the two men, while Jack seems the more dynamic all-around fighter. I can see Badou winning nearly every round based on skill and speed, but it’s harder to envision him getting through 36 full minutes without taking some solid left hands. The hunch here at this moment, رغم أن, is that he can avoid those bombs in the early going and lessen their severity as he wears Stevenson down in the second half — en route to a decision win.Call it 116-112 for Jack.”
Lester Silva (Univision) – “Although Adonis Stevenson hasn’t been tested in years, he possesses one of the best solid left hands in the sport of boxing. His hometown crowd will be on his side May 19 against Badou Jack, who is just getting off with lots of momentum after winning a title. This should be a very interesting fight only if Badou avoids getting caught with that powerful left hand.”
Adam Caparell (Complex) – “His age (40) and the questionable competition he’s fought the last five years has to catch up to Stevenson at some point, حق? Not sure if I see Jack dropping Stevenson, لكن I’m taking ‘The Ripper’ in a majority decision.”
Josh Katzowitz (فوربس) – “Every time I think Adonis Stevenson has gotten too old or too inactive to continue to win, I’m always proven wrong. Badou Jack is Stevenson’s biggest test in the past five years, so I’m tempted to pick him to beat Stevenson. But even at 40 سنة, Stevenson still has enough skills to hold on to his belt and he’s still strong enough to knock out a fighter like Jack. I’d pick Stevenson to win by late stoppage.”
John Cudney (Reddit Boxing – Sunday Puncher) – “أدونيس ستيفنسون مقابل. Badou Jack is as close to 50/50 as they come. Stevenson’s left hand is one of the deadliest punches in the sport, and Badou Jack has established himself as one of the game’s best body punchers. To add further intrigue, both men have each suffered a single loss, with each of those losses coming by first round knockout. Either man could win, and the outcome could either be an early KO or a hard-fought decision. I’m going with Badou Jack by decision. I think Jack will be able to avoid Stevenson’s left hand and make this a long and difficult night for the champion. Jack’s body punching will be the perfect weapon to make Stevenson finally feel his age in the ring.”
Rhett Butler (The Shadow League) – “This is honestly a fight for true fight fans who understand the pivotal and unique David vs. Goliath matchup that this truly is. Adonis Stevenson has an illustrious array of light heavyweight bodies on his resume and is a true juggernaut in the division. لا يزال, Jack earned a world title in his first jaunt at light heavyweight and as the old adage goes, ‘true champions can do it in multiple weight classes’. Both Stevenson and Jack are hungry but I think that Jack will fell the giant in Stevenson this time out. It’s his time and Stevenson thinks since Andre Ward retired he might be safe from anyone not named Kovalev. It will be a war of attrition, that ultimately Badou Jack will have his hand raised from.”
Gabe Oppenheim (Props) – “I pick Jack by decision, though a late stoppage wouldn’t surprise me.”
Gilbert Manzano (Las Vegas Review Journal) – “In a really close fight, I say Badou Jack pulls it out. Very close, split decision for Jack. I think the fans will witness a couple knockdowns too.”
أندرياس هيل (مجلة حلقة) – “وثيقة المعركة! Adonis Stevenson’s age might finally catch up to him and he might be underestimating Badou Jack. We might be in for a little barn burner in the middle of the rounds. I’m gonna say Jack by split decision.”
Salvador Rodriguez (ESPN) – “It’s not an easy fight for anyone. Adonis Stevenson is 40 years old and Jack showed some very good things in his first fight at 175 with the KO over Nathan Cleverly last year. I believe Stevenson has something in his pocket, but not enough to defeat a younger lion like Badou Jack. I go for Jack by points.”

“Badou Jack is a good champion. He’s not coming to Canada to lose. I know he’s coming to win so we need to train like we’ve never trained before.
“I know Badou is one of the best boxers in the world and I can’t take him lightly. We can’t underestimate this guy – he’s a two-time world champion.

JACK بادو:
“I’m glad to be fighting here in Toronto on May 19. I want to thank Adonis and his team for giving me the opportunity. I’ve been training for a while now, and feel great. وكان مخيم كبير.

YVON MICHEL, Groupe Yvon Michele:
“We were faced with a situation in Montreal that demanded this fight be moved. I called MLSE, and Lee Baxter, and with the co-operation of everybody here, we knew almost immediately that this fight had a great new home here at the ACC in Toronto.
“Over the duration of his time as world champion, Adonis has become not only one of the best light heavyweights in the world, but one of the best fighters in the sport. But Badou Jack is the toughest opponent that Adonis has faced since becoming champion. Adonis has always risen to the occasion, and on May 19th he’ll do it again and be successful in defending his world championship.”
LEE BAXTER, Baxter Promotions:
“Taking on a project like this with just three weeks to sell the fight is a huge task. But this is an opportunity that I couldn’t pass up. We’ve been on a mission to bring boxing to Toronto sports fans and put us back on the sport’s map. I think this is the perfect group of people to pull off this task and turn this endeavor into a huge success.
“I want to thank Yvon Michel, MLSE, الترقيات مايويذر, the champion Adonis Stevenson, بادو جاك, and everybody else represented on the dais. This is a great fight, regardless of where it takes place, but because it’s happening here in Toronto at the ACC, with an undercard featuring some of the best local fighters fighting on the biggest stage of their careers, it’s going to be a great Toronto sports event.”
ليونارد ELLERBE, الترقيات مايويذر:
“أولا, I want to extend our hearts and best wishes to everybody affected by Monday’shorrifying tragedy here in Toronto.

The fans are passionate, and vocal, and they’re hungry for a good fight. I know they’re going to love seeing Badou Jack become a three-time world champion.”

LAS VEGAS (أبريل 7, 2018) – Jarrett Hurd unified the 154-pound division with a 12-round split-decision victory over Erislandy Lara in an all-action fight Saturday on SHOWTIME before a sold-out crowd of 2,579 at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
هيرد (22-0, 15 كوس), who entered as IBF Champion, dethroned WBA Champion in just the seventh unification in division history. The difference in the Fight of the Year candidate was a short left hook that floored Lara in the final minute of the fight. Had the 27-year-old Hurd not scored the knockdown, the fight would have been ruled a majority draw.
“It was a tough one, but I went out there and did exactly what I said I was going to do – fight all 12 rounds and get the victory,"قال هيرد. “I didn’t feel like that (I needed the knockdown). I feel like I was in control the whole fight, applying the pressure.
“I don’t think it had anything to do with age. I think it was me and the game plan we had to apply the pressure.”
Following the thrilling bout, SHOWTIME Sports reporter Jim Gray asked Hurd if he’d like to face WBC 154-pound champion Jermell Charlo, who was ringside, to further unify the division.
“’Swift’ isn’t ducking anyone,” Hurd responded. “I’m No. 1 الآن. We’re calling the shots.”
Hurd applied relentless pressure from the opening round, pressing forward against the crafty southpaw. He pounded the body, yet often neglected defense and ate punishing counter shots for 11 جولات. But the difference for Lara (25-3-2, 14 كوس), who was making the seventh defense of his title, was the brutal 12عشر جولة. مع الدم يتسرب من العين اليمنى المتورمة, ارتبط هيرد بخطاف يسار قصير أصاب لارا على الأرض لأول مرة منذ ما يقرب من خمس سنوات.
"إلى جانب الجولة الأخيرة, اعتقدت أنني كنت أفوز في هذه المعركة بسهولة,قالت لارا. "هذا لا يقرر القتال. كنت كسب المعركة. لكمة واحدة في قتال لا تحدد القتال.
“وكانت معركة كبيرة للجماهير. وقفت هناك, قاتل وكان متعة. اعتقدت أنني ربحت المعركة بوضوح. مرة أخرى ، هناك قرار يذهب ضدي, ولكن علينا فقط القيام بإعادة المباراة.”
الدخول في القتال, كان شارلو الإجماع لا. 1 مقاتل بوزن 154 جنيها. ذكر قضيته للحصول على فرصة للتوحيد ضد هيرد.
"انا محبط. لنذهب. نريد هذا العمل,أخبر تشارلو مضيف بطولة شوتايم للملاكمة براين كاستر. "أشعر أن هيرد خاض القتال فقط مع لارا لأنه أدرك أن القتال الأصعب هو مع جيرميل شارلو.
"لقد كنا هناك من قبل مع لارا. أنا أعرف ما يمتلكه. يجب على هيرد أن يجمع دفاعه لأنه لا يمكن أن يصيبني بهذه الطريقة. لارا لا تتحرك كما اعتاد. إذا كان يتحرك كما اعتاد على الفوز في تلك المعركة ".
استعاد جيمس ديجيل بطولة العالم للوزن المتوسط للوزن المتوسط (IBF) بقرار إجماعي في مباراة العودة مع كاليب تروكس., استعاد اللقب الذي فقده في ديسمبر الماضي في اضطراب العام شبه العالمي.
تم تسجيل قضية البطولة المكونة من 12 جولة 117-110 و 114-113 مرتين. DeGale, الذي حسم نقطة في 10عشر للدفع, فاز بجولات البطولة - 11 و 12 - على بطاقات أداء الحكام الثلاثة للفوز بالقرار.
"بطل العالم مرتين. انه شعور رائع,قال ديجيل. "لكن الفضل الكامل لكالب - يظهر أنه يستطيع مزجها مع كبار المقاتلين.
"أنا سعيد فقط لأنني بطل العالم مرتين واستعدت لقب بطولة IBF الخاصة بي. انا عدت, فريق مكتنزة, عدنا. عامان ونصف كان لديّها وخسرتها أمام كالب. لقد أحرجني, لكننا عدنا ".
DeGale (24-2-1, 14 كوس) تغلبت على قطع كبير من مؤخرة رأس عرضي في الثالثة, الذي حكم عليه بالخطأ نتيجة لكمة من الحكم روبرت بيرد.
"لم أستطع الرؤية من عيني اليمنى, قال DeGale. "أنا أحب روبرت بيرد (حكم), لكن اليوم كان مخطئًا بعض الشيء. لم أستطع الرؤية. لكني سعيد لأنني تجاوزت الأمر. لقد أظهرت بعض القلب. في تقريري الأخير المعركة, كنت مثل طفل صغير ضعيف ".
DeGale متصل 37 في المئة من قوته مقارنةً بـ 28 في المئة ل Truax. يعود الآن إلى لندن بطلاً للعالم مع بعض المعارك المحتملة الهائلة في المستقبل.
"أريد أن أكون مشغولا,قال ديجيل. "بقيت لي بضع سنوات في هذه الرياضة."
Truax (29-4-2, 18 كوس), الذي حارب لأول مرة كبطل للعالم, أصيب بخيبة أمل ودافع عن إعادة المباراة بعد إعلان النتائج.
"اعتقدت أنني فعلت ما يكفي لكسب المعركة, لكنني اعتقدت أيضًا أنني كنت مستويًا جدًا ولم أحصل على تسديداتي كما أردت,قال تروكس. "كنت مسطحًا قليلاً. شعرت بالارتياح حقًا لقدومي لكنني لم أستطع الحصول على تسديداتي مثل القتال الأخير. وقال انه لم يؤذيني, ولكنه هو ما هو عليه.
"لقد أعطيته مباراة العودة على الفور فلماذا لا تفعل ذلك مرة أخرى."
In the opening bout of the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING tripleheader, Julian Williams scored a career-best win, defeating Nathaniel Gallimore via majority decision in an IBF Junior Middleweight World Title eliminator. وليامز, who edge Gallimore 116-112, 117-110, 114-114, is now in position to challenge Jarrett Hurd.
وليامز (25-1-1, 15 كوس) set the pace with a strong left jab in the opening rounds of the fight, keeping Gallimore at bay and the action on the outside. That changed around the fifth round as Williams abandoned the jab and the fight moved to the inside. Williams had his best round in the 11عشر, connecting on a massive left hand that set up a barrage of combos that nearly had Gallimore out on his feet. Gallimore (20-2-1, 17 كوس) survived the round, and Williams wasn’t able the finish him in the 12عشر, but it was clear Williams deserved the decision.
“I wasn’t surprised a judge had a draw,قال ويليامز. “Sometimes when you’re fighting real close like that, it is hard for judges to score. I knew I won. Once I heard 116-112 و 117-111, I knew I won because I knew he didn’t win eight rounds.
“He is a strong fighter, but I knew he was going to do what he did. Start strong early, but I knew he wasn’t strong after six rounds.
“The hits to the body was all in the game plan. You have to go to the body in a 12 round fight.”
Williams connected on 50 percent of his power shots and landed 37 في المئة من مجموع الطلقات له.
“I didn’t really think I won the fight,” Gallimore admitted. “I just let too many early rounds go. I just gave him too many rounds. I had him hurt a couple of times, but he was tough. I should have done more combinations. I will look at the fight and review it, and will make adjustments.”
Saturday’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast will replay on Monday at 10 عصرا. ET / PT على شوتايم EXTREME.

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday from Vanity Nightclub at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, لاس فيغاس:
إيريسلاندي LARA
“Everyone knows I love to fight his style. I’ve fought better and taller fighters than him and you’ve seen me dominate them. It’s going to be nothing different on Saturday night.
“I want him to come forward. That’s what I’m prepared for. I’m going to give him a lessonon Saturday night.
“I have to give Hurd credit for taking the fight. It’s been hard to get fighters in the ring with me. There’s no need to talk because on Saturday we will find out everything we need to know.
“Everyone here talking from Hurd’s team can’t get in the ring with him. It’s different once you’re in the ring with me. You’ve never been in a big fight. We’ll find out what you have Saturday night. الآن, you’re all talk.
“I’m absolutely ready for this fight. This is going to be a great battle for the fans on SHOWTIME. I’m excited to get in the ring and finally unify the decision. I’m preparing to make history.
“I haven’t watched much video on Hurd, but as we saw from the Trout fight, he’s very hittable. تعال ليلة السبت, he better have worked on some defense or it won’t last very long.
“I don’t want to hear anything about Jermell Charlo, because Jarrett Hurd is the one who stepped up. بيوم الأحد, Charlo can sign the contract and we can get ready to rumble.”
JARRETT HURD
“Lara has been the longest reigning champion and he was on top when I first turned pro. We’ve studied him a lot. I didn’t get into this sport to be anything but number one. Lara is the top guy, but after Saturday night, it’s going to be me.
“لقد كان معسكر تدريب كبير. We’re well prepared. This is the fight I’ve been asking for. After I beat Tony Harrison, Erislandy Lara had some words on Twitter for me. So I’ve wanted the fight since then. Somebody has to pay for that.
“This fight is coming at the right time for me because my confidence is very high right now. He’s a little older so I’ll be the younger and fresher fighter. I just feel like it’s my time. I’m going to be relentless. I’m not stopping until I get what I want.
“Lara is a veteran with a lot of experience. He knows how to win rounds and he can make you look bad no matter how good you are. I’m going to use my own awkward style and do what I do best.
“With my power and skill set, I can stop any fighter in the division. That definitely includes Erislandy Lara.
“Lara has great discipline in his game plan. No matter if he’s up on the cards or down or anything, he’s not going to switch it up. It’s hard to break a fighter when they’re disciplined like that. We have a plan for everything though and we’re confident that we’ll come up with something that will get us the victory.
“Lara is a guy who can’t take pressure fighters well. I have some of the best pressure in the game. أنا أصغر سنا, أقوى, taller and longer. He’s not going to be able to run for 12 جولات.
“Nobody wanted to fight this guy. I stepped up to the table because I know what I can do. He’s living the ‘American Dream’, but my dream has just begun. Saturday night I’m going to show you why nobody can survive 12 rounds with Jarrett Hurd. There’s a storm coming.”
CALEB TRUAX
“I’m honored to be here with these great fighters and back on SHOWTIME. Training camp was perfect for this fight. This is the longest camp I’ve had in my career and the most focused I’ve been.
“I just want to go out there and silence people who said it was a fluke the first time I won. I want to prove that I belong at the top of the division. I’m going to put on a good show for the fans and retain my title.
“We’ve had four months to prepare for James DeGale. Normally I have six to eight weeks, so it was nice to have a drawn out and specific training camp. We really focused on the conditioning and making sure I’m reaching my peak.
“I’ve been through a lot in this sport. I’ve fought top guys in big fights but it finally came together last December. It meant a lot to me and now I’m prepared to put on an even better performance. I know DeGale is going to be hungry so I have to be ready for him.
“I had a great camp this fight. I knew we were going to have a rematch so I was right back in the gym in a couple of weeks. My trainer put together a great plan to help me improve and prepare for what DeGale is going to improve on. I’ll be ready for him to be 100 في المئة.
“I just want to get to Saturday night and put on another great performance to retain my belt. I’m going to give it my all to bring that belt back home to Minnesota.”
JAMES DEGALE
“My last performance was horrendous. It was shocking and embarrassing. I’m not going to make excuses about my shoulder and what went wrong. ليلة السبت, I will be a two-time world champion. أعدك أن.
“I’ve boxed at the top level my whole life and put on some good performances. I know what was wrong with me and why I performed how I did in the first fight. I’m going to put it to rest when I become a world champion again.
“It’s been a long, difficult training camp. I had a gray cloud above my head the last couple of months, but I’m ready to go become a world champion again on Saturday.
“This time has turned me into a beast. I’ve had to take everything even more seriously than before. I might have gotten a bit complacent being a champion those last few years. I’ve locked myself down and I’m ready to go.
“I would say 90 percent of the loss was because of what I didn’t do. I looked past him. I came back too quick from the injury, but he still had to get in there and take my belt. There’s no disrespect to Caleb, but I’ve fought the very best of the division and come out on top. The real James DeGale will be back on Saturday.
“It’s going to be a dominant performance on Saturday. If I don’t beat Truax and beat him easily I can’t get to the level that I want. I know that’s what is coming. No excuses.”
JULIAN WILLIAMS
“We had a really good camp. I didn’t want to get into the trash talk this camp. He’s a solid fighter and I don’t underestimate anyone. But he seems like a bully. You can’t bully me. He’s obsessed with me on social media. I just have to focus on what he can do as a fighter.
“He’s a nobody who wants some attention. I’m going to give him lots of attention on Saturday night. I’m going to shut this guy up.
“He’s going to lose every single round and probably get stopped late. Every time he gets pushed he loses, gets a draw or gets knocked down. I’m drowning him in deep waters.
“I’m calm right now but also anxious to show everyone what I have. I know I’m a world class fighter, I just have to go do it. I’m making sure I stay patient right now.
“He lost to a journeyman, got a draw with a journeyman and got dropped by a journeyman. There’s nothing else to say. I’m taking him out on Saturday.”
NATHANIEL GALLIMORE
“Saturday night is judgment day and it starts with ‘J-Pebbles’. It’s going to be a night to remember for me.
“It’s going to be a spectacular fight. I’m going to demolish him in grand fashion. He’s never faced anyone like me before. When I touch him, انتهى.
“You better worry about what’s going to happen to you on Saturday night. It’s going to be nasty. This fight is going to show everyone who I am in this division.
“I had the best training camp of my entire career. We covered all the bases. Saturdaynight I’m going to wipe the smile off his face. You think Charlo hits hard? You’re going to see on Saturday night.
“This opportunity is huge. The division is mine for the taking. I study my opponents and I stalk them in the ring. Everyone will see what’s going to happen on Saturday.”
ليونارد ELLERBE, الرئيس التنفيذي لشركة الترقيات مايويذر
“This is a great card from top to bottom. We have none other than the longest reigning 154-pound world champion, إيريسلاندي لارا, taking on one of the toughest tests of his career in the very exciting, young and hungry world champion Jarrett Hurd.
“The co-main event is another important fight with a rematch featuring Caleb Truax, who will be looking to hold on to the belt he took from James DeGale last year, while DeGale will look to get back to where he was before they met last December.
“The show opens up with a high-octane 154-pound title eliminator with Julian Williams and Nathaniel Gallimore. This is the fight that could really steal the show. The winner of this fight will no doubt have their eye on the winner of Saturday’s main event.
“These are some of the best fights that can be made in each weight class. We can’t wait for everyone to see these fighters put it all on the line on Saturday night.”
