"ຂ້ອຍເຮັດໃຫ້ມັນຍາກ. ຂ້ອຍແນ່ນອນສາມາດເຮັດໃຫ້ມັນງ່າຍຂຶ້ນແຕ່ຂ້ອຍໄດ້ຂຶ້ນສອງຫ້ອງຮຽນນ້ໍາຫນັກແລະຂ້ອຍໄດ້ເຮັດວຽກແລ້ວ,” ຊາວ Baltimore ອາຍຸ 26 ປີກ່າວວ່າ, ຜູ້​ທີ່​ກໍາ​ລັງ​ຫົວ​ເລື່ອງ​ຂອງ SHOWTIME PPV ຄັ້ງ​ທີ​ສອງ​ຂອງ​ຕົນ​. “ຂ້ອຍຕີລາວດ້ວຍການຍິງທີ່ສະອາດ, ແຕ່ຂ້ອຍເປັນນັກຕໍ່ສູ້ທີ່ຢາກຈັບເຈົ້າດ້ວຍການຍິງທີ່ສະອາດ. ຂ້າພະເຈົ້າບໍ່ພຽງແຕ່ຕ້ອງການທີ່ຈະຖິ້ມປະເພດຂອງການສັກຢາໃດໆ. ການສັກຢາທີ່ຂ້ອຍຖິ້ມແມ່ນຫາຍໄປ, ແຕ່​ໃນ​ທີ່​ສຸດ​ຂ້າ​ພະ​ເຈົ້າ​ໄດ້​ຈັບ​ຕົວ​ເຂົາ​ໄດ້.”

ໃນ​ການ​ຕໍ່​ສູ້​ທີ່​ມີ​ຊີ​ວິດ​ເຖິງ​ຄວາມ​ສາ​ມາດ​ຂອງ​ຕົນ​, Davis (25-0, 24 KOs) ແລະ Barrios (26-1, 17 KOs) ລວມກັນເພື່ອຈັດໃຫ້ມີເຫດການຕົ້ນຕໍທີ່ບໍ່ສາມາດລືມໄດ້ຢູ່ທາງຫນ້າຂອງຝູງຊົນທີ່ຂາຍອອກ 16,570. ຫຼັງຈາກເປີດຊ້າໆສີ່ຮອບທີ່ Davis ລົງຈອດພຽງແຕ່ 11 ດີ​ໃຈ​ຫລາຍ, ການ​ຕໍ່​ສູ້​ໄດ້​ຜະ​ລິດ​ບັ້ງ​ໄຟ​ດອກ​ເລີ່ມ​ຕົ້ນ​ໃນ​ຮອບ​ທີ 5. ໃນຮອບແປດ, "ຖັງ" ສົ່ງ "El Azteca" ໄປຜ້າໃບສໍາລັບທັງຄັ້ງທໍາອິດແລະຄັ້ງທີສອງຂອງການເຮັດວຽກຂອງລາວ.. ຫນ້າ​ທໍາ​ອິດ, Davis ເຊື່ອມຕໍ່ດ້ວຍສຽງຮັດຂວາທີ່ສົ່ງອະດີດແຊ້ມໄປຜ້າໃບ. ປັດ​ຈຸ​ບັນ​ຕໍ່​ມາ, ມືຊ້າຍຊື່ Davis ຫຼຸດລົງ Barrios ອີກເທື່ອຫນຶ່ງ. Barrios ທີ່ກ້າຫານໄດ້ລຸກຂຶ້ນສູ່ຕີນຂອງລາວ, ການລອດຊີວິດຂອງຄວາມພະຍາຍາມຂອງ Davis ເພື່ອເຮັດໃຫ້ລາວສໍາເລັດໃນຄັ້ງທີ 8.

ກັບຫ້ອງມວຍສາກົນຂອງ Famer ແລະຜູ້ສົ່ງເສີມ Floyd Mayweather ຊຸກຍູ້ Davis ໃນແຈຂອງລາວ, Southpaw ອອກມາ rejuvenated ໃນຮອບທີສິບເອັດ, ຮັບ​ຮູ້​ວ່າ​ການ​ຕໍ່​ສູ້​ອາດ​ຈະ​ໃກ້​ຊິດ​ກັບ​ຄະ​ແນນ​ໄດ້​.

“ຂ້ອຍຮູ້ແນ່ນອນຖ້າຂ້ອຍຈັບລາວ, ຂ້ອຍກຳລັງແຕກ,” Davis ບອກ Jim Grey ຂອງ SHOWTIME. “ສະ​ນັ້ນ​ຂ້າ​ພະ​ເຈົ້າ​ໄດ້​ຈັບ​ເຂົາ, ແລະ​ມັນ​ສະ​ແດງ​ໃຫ້​ເຫັນ. ຄູຝຶກຂອງຂ້ອຍ ກຳ ລັງບອກຂ້ອຍໃຫ້ໄປແບບ jab ແຕ່ຂ້ອຍເປັນຄົນ Southpaw ດັ່ງນັ້ນພວກເຂົາຮູ້ວ່າຂ້ອຍຈະໄປຂ້າງນັ້ນ.. ສະນັ້ນຂ້າພະເຈົ້າຈະພະຍາຍາມແລະ bait ລາວໃນ. ຂ້ອຍປອມຕົວຄືກັບວ່າຂ້ອຍຈະອອກໄປ, ແລະຂ້ອຍຖິ້ມສິດຂອງຂ້ອຍ. ແລະ hook ຂອງຂ້າພະເຈົ້າຢູ່ເທິງ, ແລະນັ້ນແມ່ນບ່ອນທີ່ຂ້ອຍຈັບລາວ.”

ໃນຮອບ 6 ແລະເຄິ່ງສຸດທ້າຍ, Davis ລົງຈອດ 85 ດີ​ໃຈ​ຫລາຍ. ພຣະ​ອົງ​ໄດ້​ລູກ​ຈ້າງ 45 ເປີ​ເຊັນ​ຂອງ​ດີ​ໃຈ​ຫລາຍ​ພະ​ລັງ​ງານ​ຂອງ​ຕົນ (82/182), ໃນຂະນະທີ່ Barrios ຫຼາຍກ່ວາຖືຂອງຕົນເອງ, ອອກ-ລົງຈອດ Davis ໃນຫົກໃນສິບຮອບສໍາເລັດ.

“ຂ້ອຍຮູ້ວ່າລາວໄດ້ຮັບບາດເຈັບ. ຂ້າພະເຈົ້າພຽງແຕ່ໄດ້ຈັບລາວໃນເວລາທີ່ເຫມາະສົມ,” Davis ເວົ້າຕໍ່ໄປ. “ຟລອຍ [Mayweather] ມາຫາຂ້ອຍແລະຊື່ສັດແລະເວົ້າວ່າຂ້ອຍຕົກ,” Davis ສືບຕໍ່, ແທ້ຈິງແລ້ວແມ່ນຜູ້ທີ່ຢູ່ຂ້າງຫນ້າໃນບັດຄະແນນຂອງຜູ້ພິພາກສາທັງສາມໃນເວລາຂອງການຢຸດເຊົາ. “ດັ່ງນັ້ນ ລາວ​ຈຶ່ງ​ເວົ້າ​ວ່າ ‘ສະແດງ​ໃຫ້​ຂ້ອຍ​ເຫັນ​ວ່າ​ເຈົ້າ​ຍິ່ງໃຫຍ່.” ແລະ​ເຈົ້າ​ຮູ້​ວິທີ​ທີ່​ເຮົາ​ເຮັດ​ໃນ​ເຮືອນ​ຫມາ, ເດັກ​ນ້ອຍ!"

"ລາວມີທ່າແຮງທີ່ຈະເປັນຫນຶ່ງໃນທີ່ຍິ່ງໃຫຍ່ທີ່ສຸດເທົ່າທີ່ເຄີຍມີມາ," Mayweather ເວົ້າ. "ເມື່ອຂ້ອຍພົບກັບ 'ຖັງ' ທໍາອິດເມື່ອລາວຢູ່ 14 ຫຼື 15 ປີ, ຂ້ອຍບອກລາວວ່າ ຂ້ອຍຈະເຮັດໃຫ້ລາວເປັນແຊ້ມໂລກ. ແລະວ່າທ່ານຈະເປັນຫນຶ່ງໃນທີ່ດີທີ່ສຸດໃນມື້ຫນຶ່ງ. ຂ້ອຍພູມໃຈໃນລາວ.”

“ຂ້ອຍ​ບໍ່​ເຄີຍ​ເປັນ​ຄົນ​ກຽດ​ຊັງ. ຂໍສະແດງຄວາມຍິນດີກັບ 'ຖັງ',"Barrios ກ່າວ. "ລາວມາທີ່ນີ້ແລະເຮັດສິ່ງຂອງລາວ. ມັນບໍ່ມີຫຍັງສັ້ນຂອງການຕໍ່ສູ້ທີ່ໜ້າຕື່ນເຕັ້ນ ແລະນັ້ນຄືສິ່ງທີ່ພວກເຮົາທັງສອງໄດ້ຄາດຄະເນໄວ້. ລາວເປັນຊາຍທີ່ດີກວ່າໃນຄືນນີ້, ແຕ່ຂ້ອຍແນ່ນອນຈະກັບຄືນມາ.

"ຖັງ" ແມ່ນລະເບີດ. ລາວ​ຈັບ​ຂ້າ​ພະ​ເຈົ້າ​ເລື່ອນ​ແລະ​ມັນ​ເປັນ​ມວຍ. ໃນ​ຕອນ​ທ້າຍ​ຂອງ​ມື້​ນັ້ນ, ຫນຶ່ງດີໃຈຫລາຍສາມາດປ່ຽນແປງການຕໍ່ສູ້. ນັ້ນແມ່ນສິ່ງທີ່ຂ້ອຍຮູ້ສຶກວ່າເກີດຂຶ້ນແທ້ໆ. ຂໍສະແດງຄວາມຍິນດີກັບລາວ.”

“ການ​ຕໍ່ສູ້​ໄດ້​ດຳ​ເນີນ​ໄປ​ຕາມ​ແຜນການ,Akhmedov ກ່າວ, ຜູ້​ທີ່​ໄດ້​ເອົາ​ຊະ​ນະ​ການ​ຕັດ​ຄັ້ງ​ທໍາ​ອິດ​ຂອງ​ອາ​ຊີບ​ຂອງ​ຕົນ​ໃນ​ຕາ​ຊ້າຍ​ຂອງ​ຕົນ​ຫຼັງ​ຈາກ​ການ​ປະ​ທະ​ກັນ​ຫົວ​ອຸ​ບັດ​ຕິ​ເຫດ​ໃນ​ຮອບ​ທີ​ສອງ​. “ພວກ​ເຮົາ​ຄາດ​ວ່າ​ຈະ​ມີ​ການ​ຕໍ່​ສູ້​ທີ່​ເຄັ່ງ​ຕຶງ​ແບບ​ນັ້ນ. ຂ້ອຍອອກຈາກວົງການເປັນເວລາດົນນານ, ສະນັ້ນຂ້ອຍຈໍາເປັນຕ້ອງໄດ້ຮັບຮອບເຫຼົ່ານັ້ນ. ແຜນການຂອງຂ້ອຍແມ່ນເພື່ອຕໍ່ສູ້ເພື່ອແຊ້ມໂລກຕໍ່ໄປ. ພວກ​ເຮົາ​ຮູ້​ວ່າ​ລາວ​ຈະ​ບໍ່​ສະ​ດວກ​ທີ່​ຈະ​ຕໍ່​ສູ້​ກັບ​ຄວາມ​ຫຍຸ້ງ​ຍາກ. ລາວຫົວຫົວແລະສອກຂ້ອຍ. ມັນເປັນປະສົບການທີ່ດີສໍາລັບຂ້ອຍ.”

ໃນ​ການ​ສູ້​ຮົບ​ຂອງ Olympians ໄດ້​, ມັນແມ່ນ Akhmedov ຜູ້ທີ່ກົດດັນການກະ ທຳ ແລະຢູ່ໄກກວ່າຈາກການເລີ່ມຕົ້ນ. ລາວໄປຫາຮ່າງກາຍໄວແລະເລື້ອຍໆ, ທີ່​ດິນ 57 ດີໃຈຫລາຍຂອງຮ່າງກາຍ, ນຸ່ງເສື້ອ Mendez ລົງໃນຂະນະທີ່ຮອບຜ່ານໄປ. Akhmedov ອາຍຸ 30 ປີລົງຈອດ 115 ຂອງ 306 ພະລັງງານດີໃຈຫລາຍທີ່ເຂົາຖິ້ມ, ໃນຂະນະທີ່ Mendez ອາຍຸ 34 ປີລົງຈອດ 84 ຂອງ​ລາວ 223 ດີ​ໃຈ​ຫລາຍ​ທີ່​ພະ​ລັງ​ງານ, ລວມທັງພຽງແຕ່ 13 ຮ່າງກາຍເຊື່ອມຕໍ່. ທີ່​ໃຊ້​ເວ​ລາ​ຂອງ stoppage ໄດ້, Akhmedov ແມ່ນນໍາຫນ້າຢູ່ໃນບັດຄະແນນຂອງຜູ້ພິພາກສາທັງສາມ.

“Mendez ເປັນຜູ້ຊາຍທີ່ເຄັ່ງຄັດທີ່ຕໍ່ສູ້ກັບນັກຕໍ່ສູ້ຊັ້ນນໍາ,"ສືບຕໍ່ Akhmedov. “ພວກເຮົາຮູ້ວ່າມັນຈະບໍ່ເປັນການຍ່າງຢູ່ໃນສວນສາທາລະນະ. ເມື່ອຂ້ອຍເຈັບປວດລາວ, ມຸມຂອງຂ້ອຍກໍາລັງບອກຂ້ອຍໃຫ້ຊ້າລົງແລະໃຊ້ເວລາຂອງຂ້ອຍກ່ອນທີ່ຈະເຂົ້າຮອບ knockout."

“ຂ້ອຍເລີ່ມຮູ້ສຶກ (ບາດເຈັບ) ໃນຮອບທີສອງແລະທີສາມ,” Mendez ເວົ້າ​ວ່າ​ຜິດ​ຫວັງ. “ຂໍ້ມືຂອງຂ້ອຍຖືກຫັກ ແລະຂ້ອຍບໍ່ສາມາດຕີໄດ້ອີກແລ້ວ ຫຼັງຈາກທີ່ຂ້ອຍຕັດລາວດ້ວຍມືຂວາຂອງຂ້ອຍໃນຮອບທຳອິດ.. ຂ້າພະເຈົ້າໄດ້ພະຍາຍາມສືບຕໍ່ຕໍ່ສູ້ຕັ້ງແຕ່ຮອບທີສີ່, ແຕ່​ໄດ້​ຮັບ​ຜົນ​ທີ່​ບໍ່​ມີ. ມັນບໍ່ມີປະໂຫຍດ.”

ມີ​ໄຊ​ຊະ​ນະ​ໄດ້, Akhmedov ຮັກສາຕົນເອງຢູ່ໃນການແລ່ນສໍາລັບການຕໍ່ສູ້ຊັ້ນນໍາໃນພະແນກເລິກ 140 ປອນ. Mendez ຫຼຸດລົງ 2-4-2 ໃນ​ການ​ຕໍ່​ສູ້​ທີ່​ຜ່ານ​ມາ​ແປດ​ຄັ້ງ​.

“ພວກ​ເຮົາ​ບໍ່​ສາ​ມາດ​ເວົ້າ​ໄດ້​ວ່າ​ໃຜ​ເປັນ​ຜູ້​ຊົກ​ທີ່​ໃຫຍ່​ກວ່າ​ຈົນ​ກວ່າ​ພວກ​ເຮົາ​ໄດ້​ເຂົ້າ​ໄປ​ໃນ​ວົງ​ການ​ນັ້ນ​ແລະ​ທົດ​ສອບ​ພະ​ລັງ​ງານ​ຂອງ​ຕົນ. ມັນບໍ່ສໍາຄັນວ່າໃຜເຂັ້ມແຂງກວ່າ, ຂ້ອຍຕ້ອງການດີກວ່າລາວໃນທົ່ວຄະນະແລະໃນທຸກໆດ້ານຂອງເກມ.

“ຄົນ​ທີ່​ຢູ່​ທີ່​ນີ້​ໃນ​ຫ້ອງ​ອອກ​ກຳ​ລັງ​ກາຍ​ກັບ​ຂ້າ​ພະ​ເຈົ້າ​ເຫັນ​ຫຼາຍ​ສິ່ງ​ທີ່​ຂ້າ​ພະ​ເຈົ້າ​ບໍ່​ຈຳ​ເປັນ​ຕ້ອງ​ເອົາ​ອອກ​ມາ, ແມ້ແຕ່ຢູ່ໃນການຕໍ່ສູ້ຂອງຂ້ອຍ. Floyd ສະເຫມີບອກຂ້ອຍໃຫ້ໃສ່ກ່ອງແລະໃຊ້ທັກສະຂອງຂ້ອຍ, ແລະ​ບໍ່​ໄດ້​ຊອກ​ຫາ​ສະ​ເຫມີ​ສໍາ​ລັບ​ການ knockout​. ແຄ້ມນີ້ພວກເຮົາໄດ້ເຮັດວຽກຢ່າງຈິງຈັງເພື່ອກັບຄືນໄປຫາບ່ອນນັ້ນ ແລະປ່ອຍໃຫ້ຈຸດຈົບມາ.

"ສໍາ​ລັບ​ຂ້າ​ພະ​ເຈົ້າ, ຄວາມຍິ່ງໃຫຍ່ພຽງແຕ່ບໍ່ໄດ້ຖອຍຫລັງ. ຂ້າພະເຈົ້າພຽງແຕ່ຕ້ອງການທີ່ຈະສືບຕໍ່ໄປຂ້າງຫນ້າບໍ່ວ່າຈະເປັນແນວໃດ. ບໍ່​ວ່າ​ຜູ້​ໃດ​ຢູ່​ຕໍ່​ຫນ້າ​ຂ້າ​ພະ​ເຈົ້າ​, ຂ້ອຍພຽງແຕ່ຕ້ອງຜ່ານພວກມັນ. ຂ້ອຍມາຈາກໃສ, ຫຼາຍຄົນບໍ່ໄດ້ເຮັດມັນອອກ, ສະນັ້ນຂ້ອຍກໍາລັງເຮັດບາງສິ່ງບາງຢ່າງທີ່ຖືກຕ້ອງ. ມັນບໍ່ ຈຳ ເປັນຕ້ອງເປັນສັດຕູ, ມັນສາມາດເປັນສິ່ງທີ່ຢູ່ນອກວົງການ. ຂ້ອຍ ກຳ ລັງສະແຫວງຫາຄວາມຍິ່ງໃຫຍ່ສະ ເໝີ.

“ສິ່ງ​ຂອງ​ຂ້າ​ພະ​ເຈົ້າ​ພຽງ​ແຕ່​ຕີ​ຜູ້​ໃດ​ກໍ​ຕາມ​ຕໍ່​ຫນ້າ​ຂ້າ​ພະ​ເຈົ້າ. ເມື່ອເຖິງເວລາ, ພວກ​ເຮົາ​ຈະ​ເບິ່ງ​ຜູ້​ຊາຍ​ທີ່​ສຸດ​ແມ່ນ​. ຈົນ​ກ​່​ວາ​ຫຼັງ​ຈາກ​ນັ້ນ, ຂ້ອຍບໍ່ ຈຳ ເປັນຕ້ອງເວົ້າກັບນັກຕໍ່ສູ້ອື່ນນອກ ເໜືອ ຈາກຜູ້ຢູ່ຕໍ່ ໜ້າ ຂ້ອຍ.

“Barrios ແລະຂ້ອຍໄດ້ຜ່ານນັກສມັກເລ່ນຮ່ວມກັນ. ລາວຮູ້ວ່າຂ້ອຍເຮັດຫຍັງຢູ່. ມັນບ້າທີ່ຊີວິດເຮັດວຽກອອກບາງຄັ້ງ.

“ຂ້ອຍ​ເປັນ​ຜູ້​ຫຼິ້ນ​ທີມ, ສະນັ້ນອັນໃດທີ່ທີມງານຂອງຂ້ອຍບອກຂ້ອຍຕ້ອງເຮັດເພື່ອໃຫ້ຕົວເອງດີຂຶ້ນ, ຂ້າພະເຈົ້າທັງຫມົດສໍາລັບມັນ. ນັ້ນແມ່ນສິ່ງທີ່ເຮັດໃຫ້ຂ້ອຍດີຫຼາຍ. ຂ້ອຍບໍ່ພຽງແຕ່ໂດດເດັ່ນດ້ວຍຕົວເອງ. ຂ້ອຍມີທີມທີ່ດີທີ່ສຸດໃນມວຍ.

"ຄົນສຸດທ້າຍຂອງຂ້ອຍໄດ້ຈົ່ມວ່າ Leo Santa Cruz ນ້ອຍໆເກີນໄປ, ສະນັ້ນຂ້າພະເຈົ້າໂດຍພື້ນຖານແລ້ວຈະອອກໄປບ່ອນນັ້ນແລະສະແດງໃຫ້ເຫັນວ່າຄວາມແຕກຕ່າງຂອງຂະຫນາດບໍ່ສໍາຄັນ. ຂ້າ​ພະ​ເຈົ້າ​ຈະ​ຕີ​ຜູ້​ໃດ​ກໍ​ຕາມ​ທີ່​ເຂົາ​ເຈົ້າ​ເອົາ​ຢູ່​ຕໍ່​ຫນ້າ​ຂ້າ​ພະ​ເຈົ້າ​. ຂ້ອຍພະຍາຍາມໄລ່ຄວາມຍິ່ງໃຫຍ່.

"ຂ້ອຍແນ່ນອນຊອກຫາທີ່ຈະຍ່າງລົງຄົນໃຫຍ່ກວ່າ. ລາວອາດຈະຮູ້ສຶກວ່າລາວສາມາດຍ່າງຂ້ອຍລົງໄດ້. ຂ້ອຍແນ່ນອນໄດ້ເບິ່ງ Floyd ຕໍ່ສູ້ກັບຜູ້ຊາຍທີ່ໃຫຍ່ກວ່າໃນ Logan Paul ແລະເອົາຕົວຊີ້ສອງສາມຢ່າງຈາກມັນ.

“ຂ້ອຍບໍ່ຮູ້ວ່າ Barrios ຈະເອົາຫຍັງມາ, ແຕ່ຈາກຂ້າງຂ້ອຍ, ຂ້ອຍເອົາທຸກຢ່າງທີ່ຂ້ອຍມີ. ເຈົ້າຮູ້ທຸກຄັ້ງທີ່ຂ້ອຍຕໍ່ສູ້, ຂ້ອຍ ກຳ ລັງເອົາບາງສິ່ງບາງຢ່າງມາໃຫ້ແຟນໆໄດ້ມ່ວນຊື່ນ."

"ຕົວເລກການຈ່າຍຕໍ່ການເບິ່ງຂອງຖັງ" ເປີດປະຕູສໍາລັບສ່ວນທີ່ເຫຼືອຂອງພວກເຂົາ. ມັນແມ່ນຍ້ອນສື່ສັງຄົມ 'ຖັງ'. ເມື່ອຄົນຖາມຂ້ອຍວ່າເປັນຫຍັງຜູ້ຄົນຈຶ່ງໃສ່ໃຈລາວ – ລາວ​ຄື​ກັນ​ກັບ​ເດັກ​ນ້ອຍ​ທີ່​ມາ​ຈາກ​ເມືອງ​ຕ່າງໆ. ເບິ່ງຜູ້ນບ້ວງ - ຕົວເມືອງພາຍໃນ. ເບິ່ງຜູ້ນບານເຕະ - ຕົວເມືອງພາຍໃນ. ພະອົງ​ສະແດງ​ໃຫ້​ເຂົາ​ເຈົ້າ​ເຫັນ​ວ່າ​ຖ້າ​ເຈົ້າ​ເອົາ​ຄົນ​ທີ່​ຖືກຕ້ອງ​ມາ​ຢູ່​ອ້ອມ​ຕົວ​ເຈົ້າ ແລະ​ເຈົ້າ​ເອົາ​ໃຈ​ໃສ່​ກັບ​ບາງ​ສິ່ງ, ສິ່ງ​ໃດ​ແດ່​ແມ່ນ​ເປັນ​ໄປ​ໄດ້.

“ຖັງ”, Devin Haney, Teofimo Lopez ແລະ Ryan Garcia ຈະເປັນສີ່ກະສັດຖ້າການຕໍ່ສູ້ເກີດຂຶ້ນ. ໃຫ້​ຂອງ​ຮັກ​ສາ​ມັນ​ທີ່​ແທ້​ຈິງ. ສິດ​ທິ​ໃນ​ປັດ​ຈຸ​ບັນ, ພວກເຂົາເຈົ້າກໍາລັງເຮັດສິ່ງດຽວກັນກັບສີ່ກະສັດໄດ້ເຮັດໃນຕອນເລີ່ມຕົ້ນ. ທັງຫມົດທີ່ພວກເຮົາຕ້ອງເຮັດແມ່ນນັ່ງກັບຄືນໄປບ່ອນແລະປ່ອຍໃຫ້ຈິດໃຈທີ່ເປັນ, ເຮັດສິ່ງຂອງເຂົາເຈົ້າ. ມັນ​ຈະ​ເກີດ​ຂຶ້ນ​. ການຕໍ່ສູ້ທັງໝົດເຫຼົ່ານີ້ທີ່ຜູ້ຄົນຢາກເຫັນຈະເກີດຂຶ້ນ.

"ເຈົ້າສັງເກດເຫັນບໍວ່າ 'ຖັງ' ບໍ່ໄດ້ໂທຫາໃຜອອກ? ລາວບໍ່ເຄີຍເຮັດ. ແຕ່ຖ້າທ່ານເອົາລາວຢູ່ຕໍ່ຫນ້າບາງຄົນ, ລາວ​ຈະ​ສະ​ແດງ​ໃຫ້​ທ່ານ​. ຖ້າທ່ານຮູ້ຈັກ 'ຖັງ' ຈາກນັກສມັກເລ່ນ, ລາວຈະສະແດງຢູ່ໃນວົງການ. ລາວຄືກັບເດັກນ້ອຍ Mike Tyson.

“ນ້ຳ​ໜັກ​ບໍ່​ແມ່ນ​ສິ່ງ​ທີ່​ຂ້ອຍ​ເອົາ​ໃຈ​ໃສ່, ຕົວຈິງແລ້ວມັນແມ່ນ opponent ໄດ້. ໃນເວລາທີ່ຂ້າພະເຈົ້າໄດ້ເລີ່ມຕົ້ນສຶກສາ opponent ໄດ້, ຄູຝຶກສອນຂອງລາວແລະຂ້ອຍກັບໄປໃນນັກສມັກເລ່ນ. ເມື່ອພວກເຮົາເຫັນກັນແລະກັນ, ພວກເຮົາຮູ້ຈັກກັນແລະກັນ. ມັນ​ກ່ຽວ​ກັບ​ຈິດ​ໃຈ​. ລາວຮູ້ຈັກນັກກິລາຂອງລາວແລະຂ້ອຍຮູ້ຈັກນັກກິລາຂອງຂ້ອຍ. ວ່າ​ຕອນ​ກາງ​ຄືນ, ມັນ​ກ່ຽວ​ກັບ​ຈິດ​ໃຈ​. ມັນກ່ຽວກັບວ່າໃຜຈະຍຶດຫມັ້ນໃນສິ່ງທີ່ພວກເຂົາຄວນຈະເຮັດ. ນັ້ນແມ່ນການຕໍ່ສູ້ຂອງຂ້ອຍ.

"ຂ້ອຍບໍ່ເວົ້າວ່ານີ້ແມ່ນການທົດສອບທີ່ຍາກທີ່ສຸດຂອງອາຊີບ 'ຖັງ' ເພາະວ່າບໍ່ມີໃຜສາມາດສະແດງໃຫ້ຂ້ອຍເຫັນທີ່ດີທີ່ສຸດຂອງ 'ຖັງ' ໄດ້.. ຂ້ອຍຮູ້ດີທີ່ສຸດຂອງ 'ຖັງ'. ເຈົ້າຈະບໍ່ເຫັນ 'ຖັງ'."

GERVONTA DAVIS AND BADOU JACK DISCUSS UPCOMING DECEMBER 28 MATCHUPSDavis To Face Yuriorkis Gamboa For WBA Lightweight World Championship While Jack Challenges WBA Light Heavyweight Titlist Jean Pascal Live On SHOWTIME® From State Farm Arena In Atlanta

ຫຍັງ: Gervonta Davis ແລະ Badou Jack met with members of the media last Saturday in Las Vegas to discuss their upcoming matchups taking place Saturday, ເດືອນ​ທັນ​ວາ 28 live on SHOWTIME at the award-winning State Farm Arena in Atlanta in a special year-end Premier Boxing Champions event.

Two-time super featherweight champion Davis will take on former unified world champion Yuriorkis Gamboa for the WBA Lightweight World Championship as the 24-year-old Davis looks to conquer another division. In the co-main event of a special holiday SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® telecast, former two-division champion Jack will challenge WBA Light Heavyweight World Champion Jean Pascal.

ປີ້​ສໍາ​ລັບ​ກໍ​ລະ​ນີ​ທີ່, ເຊິ່ງໄດ້ຮັບການສົ່ງເສີມໂດຍ Mayweather Promotions, ໂປຣໂມຊັນ GTD ແລະ TGB Promotions, are available through Ticketmaster.com.

Also participating in Saturday’s luncheon at Wolfgang Puck at MGM Grand were Leonard Ellerbe, ຊີ​ອີ​ໂອ​ຂອງ​ການ​ສົ່ງ​ເສີມ​ການ Mayweather, and Stephen Espinoza, ປະ​ທານ​ປະ​ເທດ, ກິ​ລາ & Programming ກິດຈະກໍາ, Showtime Networks Inc.

Here’s what the fighters and executives had to say:

GERVONTA DAVIS:
Thoughts about Gamboa and moving up in weight:
We know Gamboa is a veteran and that he’s had a lot of wars, so we know we have a tough fight. He’s definitely dangerous. He can hit. ພຣະ​ອົງ​ສາ​ມາດ​ຕໍ່​ສູ້​ກັບ.

His last fight he made 134, so we know he can get bigger than me at that weight. I’m going into this knowing he’s a bigger fighter than me. I’m just going to bring my power and capitalize on that weight class and becoming world champion.

I believe I’m one of the top fighters in the world, but I don’t compare myself to other fighters. I just go out and get the job done.

Atlanta is my second home. I’m confident I’ll sell it out.

On his ability and uniqueness as a fighter:
I come from a different cloth than these other guys. I’ve been through everything in my life. A lot of people haven’t experienced what I have. If I ever get beat it would have to be by someone who’s been through what I have been through. It can’t be anyone who’s just been training all their life.

Every time I step in the ring I’m willing to leave it all in there. A lot of people haven’t seen my full skills because I haven’t fought an opponent that has brought them out.

On his potential in the sport:
The boxing world hasn’t seen my true potential as a fighter, they’ve just seen my power. I’m the type of boxer where if you don’t belong in there with me, you won’t be in there too long. Some fighters like to take their time. I’m the type, if I know you’re not on my level, I’m going to show it. The world will see. I’ll fight anybody.

JACK Badou:
On his upcoming matchup against Pascal:
“ຂ້າ​ພະ​ເຈົ້າ​ຮູ້​ສຶກ​ຕື່ນ​ເຕັ້ນ​ສໍາ​ລັບ​ການ​ຕໍ່​ສູ້​ນີ້. I actually called Pascal the day before his last fight and let him know I was rooting for him. But this is business at the end of the day. I’m coming to take back my title.

On how he feels at this age:
I feel like a young 36 ປີ. I live a clean life. I’m always in the gym training and I try not to take any punishment. I have a couple of years left and I’m more motivated now than ever. I needed that little break. I hadn’t had a break since I was an amateur twenty years ago. I took time to relax with the family and eat good food. Now I’m hungry.

On his last performance against Marcus Browne:
Everyone who saw me in my last fight could see I was flat. My fighting instinct kicked in at that point. He was fighting a dead man.

On the Davis vs. Gamboa matchup:
“ມັນ​ເປັນ​ການ​ຕໍ່​ສູ້​ທີ່​ຍິ່ງ​ໃຫຍ່. Gamboa is a little older, but he looked good in his last fight. I’m a big, big fan of Tankthe way he fights, his speed, athleticism ລາວ, ທຸກ​ສິ່ງ​ທຸກ​ຢ່າງ. He has star power. He was on my undercard, now I’m on his. He’s going to bring great things to the sport and as long as he stays focused, he’s going to be a superstar. He’s already a superstar.

LEONARD Ellerbe:
On Davisposition and progression in the sport:
We’re going to show everyone how he’s going to become the biggest star in the sport. ໃນ 2020 we’re going to blow this out of the water. We’ve been able to think outside the box. That’s how you grow the sport. We’ve made a concerted effort to cross him over to the mainstream; working with the Baltimore Ravens, his parade, now Atlanta.

Our plan is to make the biggest and best fights out there. We’re going to call the shots and it’s going to be on our terms, and we’ll let everyone know when that happens. Everyone wants to fight Tank. There’s one common thing when you talk about 126, 130, 135, ແລະ​ໃນ​ປັດ​ຈຸ​ບັນ 140. There’s one name that’s common among the fighters and that’s Tank. This is going to be a great journey and you better get on it now.

If he can get past Gamboa on December 28, then in 2020 he’s going into that pay-per-view world. When you have that kind of star power and you’re thinking outside of the box, not just boxing fans, we’re going to make the biggest fights out there in the world.

On Badou Jack:
Badou’s a promoter’s dream. He’s a guy who gives you no problems. He’s out there doing wonderful things for himself and his family. He’s doing so much to help so many others. He’s using his platform in the right way. It’s an honor to work with a fighter like him.

I always knew he was a great talent and sometimes you can find the diamonds in the rough. Everyone’s always looking at the guys coming out of the Olympics. We saw him in the gym and he really messed a guy up. We had an eye on him and we worked out a deal with Lou [DiBella] and the rest is history.

We had one setback, but everything happens for a reason, and he’s just taken off since. He’s a great fighter and I like the fact that he’s always willing to fight the best. Never had to second guess that he’s willing to fight everybody.

STEPHEN Espinoza:
There are advantages and disadvantages to promoting a show on this date. There has been a lot of success promoting music shows on that weekend. It’s not apples to apples, but it’s one of the factors that went in and there’s a way to turn this into something special and unique because of Gervonta’s fan base.

It’s great to have skilled boxers but we need, for the health of the sport, guys like Gervonta who are putting butts in the seats. That’s the key in bringing him to Atlanta. Boxing is a part of a culture that crosses over into music and sports. There’s not an athlete who doesn’t watch a pay-per-view boxing match. Tapping into that with a personality like Tank is only going to expand the sport.

There’s an authenticity and an openness about Gervonta. There’s a lot of people who’ve had setbacks who don’t talk about it, like Tank. It takes a risk to talk about that and that’s why a lot of people can relate. This is Tank. ສິ່ງທີ່ທ່ານເຫັນແມ່ນສິ່ງທີ່ທ່ານໄດ້ຮັບ. It’s very real. It’s very authentic and I think that’s why people connect with him the person as opposed to him the fighter.

NATIONAL HARBOR, MD. (ພຶດ​ສະ​ພາ 20, 2018) – WBC Light Heavyweight world champion Adonis Stevenson and former two-division world champion Badou Jack 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, Gary Russell Jr. (29-1, 17 KOs) ແພ້ Joseph “ໂຈໂຈ” Diaz Jr. (26-1, 14 KOs).

 

 

 

With the draw, Stevenson retains the WBC belt in what was Toronto’s most significant world title fight in more than 30 ປີ. The judges scored the fight 115-113 in favor of Jack and 114-114 ສອງ​ຄັ້ງ. Russell won his fight via unanimous decision, 115-113 ແລະ 117-111 ສອງ​ຄັ້ງ, to retain his WBC featherweight world title.

 

 

 

The Stevenson-Jack bout was the main event of a split-venue SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING doubleheader. Theideo 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 KOs) who was the busier and more accurate fighter. While Stevenson (29-1-1, 24 KOs) 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. ຢ່າງ​ໃດ​ກໍ​ຕາມ, a ferocious body shot from the right hand of Stevenson in round ten altered the momentum back in his favor.

 

 

 

Stevenson, who has resided in Montreal since he was five-years-old, was able to gain a second wind in the 11thໄດ້​ຕະ​ຫຼອດ, 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,” said Stevenson, who moves to 9-0-1 ໃນ​ໂລກ​ຕໍ່​ສູ້​ກັບ​ຫົວ​ຂໍ້. “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.

 

 

 

Jack, who started the fight sluggishly, thought he did enough in the later rounds to win the fight.

 

 

 

I thought I definitely won the fight,” Jack ເວົ້າ​ວ່າ, 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 KOs) defeated Diaz Jr. (26-1, 14 KOs). Russell won the contest via unanimous decision, 115-113 ແລະ 117-111 ສອງ​ຄັ້ງ, 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. Diaz Jr. 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,” said Russell Jr. “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.

 

 

 

Diaz Jr. 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, Calif. native. “But I started attacking him too late and didn’t pick it up until the 8th or 9th round. Gary Russell Jr. 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. ຜູ້ພິພາກສາຄະແນນການແຂ່ງຂັນ 116-112, 115-113 ແລະ 113-115.

 

 

 

Saturday’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING doubleheader will replay on Monday at 10 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME.

I’m the best fighter in this division, ໄລ​ຍະ​ເວ​ລາ​.” – Stevenson

TORONTO (ພຶດ​ສະ​ພາ 15, 2018) – WBC ຮຸ່ນ Light ແຊ້ມໂລກ Adonis “Superman” Stevenson is set to make his ninth, and perhaps most difficult, world title defense when he faces two-division world champion Badou Jack ວັນ​ເສົາ, ພຶດ​ສະ​ພາ 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,” said Stevenson. “ຂ້າ​ພະ​ເຈົ້າ​ບໍ່ underestimating ເຂົາ. 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,” said Stevenson. “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 “້​ໍ​າ​ຕານ” Hill.

 

 

 

I’m always going for the knockout,” said Stevenson. “I’m still ready for 12 ຮອບ, 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, ວ່າ​ມັນ, 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,” said Stevenson. “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, ໄລ​ຍະ​ເວ​ລາ. 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.

TORONTO (ພຶດ​ສະ​ພາ 14, 2018) – As two-division world champion Badou Jack “Ripper ໄດ້” arrives in Canada for fight week in Toronto, he shared his thoughts on training camp and his matchup this Saturday, ພຶດ​ສະ​ພາ 19 against WBC Light Heavyweight World Champion Adonis Stevenson 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,” Jack ເວົ້າ​ວ່າ. “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. ຢ່າງ​ໃດ​ກໍ​ຕາມ, 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,” Jack ເວົ້າ​ວ່າ. “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,” Jack ເວົ້າ​ວ່າ. “Adonis has always fought everyone put in front of him and I respect that. He’s definitely a good fighter, ແຕ່​ຂ້າ​ພະ​ເຈົ້າ​ເປັນ fighter ທີ່​ດີ​ຂຶ້ນ.

 

 

 

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 brandRipper Nutritionproviding extra motivation but also possible distractions, Jack has been able to maintain a laser focus on May 19 and a matchup he callsthe biggest of my career.

Adonis Stevenson vs. Badou Jack Media Predictions

Writers See Close Contest in Light Heavyweight Title Showdown but Lean Toward Two-Division Champion Jack Over Long-Reigning Champion Stevenson

TORONTO (ພຶດ​ສະ​ພາ 11, 2018) – Members of the boxing media asked to weigh in on the world title showdown between light heavyweight champion Adonis Stevenson ແລະແຊ້ມໂລກສອງປະເພດ Badou Jack all see a close fight on Saturday, ພຶດ​ສະ​ພາ 19 but lean toward the challenger to take the crown from the champion live on SHOWTIME from Air Canada Centre in Toronto.

 

 

 

Stevenson vs. Jack is part of a split-site SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING®telecast beginning at 10 p.m. ET/PT with featherweight champion Gary Russell, Jr. defending his title against mandatory title challenger Joseph Diaz from the MGM National Harbor in Maryland on Saturday, ພຶດ​ສະ​ພາ 19.

Here is what the media had to say about this matchup:

 

Steve Simmons (Toronto Sun) – “Jack by decisionAdonis 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.

 

Bob VELIN (USA TODAY) – “Stevenson, 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.

 

Lyle Fitzsimmons (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, ເຖິງ​ແມ່ນ​ວ່າ, is that he can avoid those bombs in the early going and lessen their severity as he wears Stevenson down in the second halfen 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, ສິດ? Not sure if I see Jack dropping Stevenson, ແຕ່ I’m taking ‘The Ripperin a majority decision.”

 

Josh Katzowitz (Forbes) – “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 ປີ, 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 BoxingSunday Puncher) – “Adonis Stevenson vs. 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. Still, 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.

 

Andreas Hale (ວາ​ລະ​ສານ Ring) – “ການ​ຕໍ່​ສູ້​ຢ່າງ​ໃກ້​ຊິດ! 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.”

Below are quotes from the fighters and event promoters.

 

ADONIS STEVENSON:

 

 

I love Toronto, I spend a lot of time here. I have fought here before. I have a lot of fans in Toronto, and on May 19 I’m going to put on a show for them. I’m going to give them something to remember.

 

 

 

Badou Jack is an excellent opponent. He’s smart, he’s been a world champion, and he’s shown he’s a true competitor. But I am the best light heavyweight in the world, and Toronto and the world will see that on May 19.

 

 

 

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 guyhe’s a two-time world champion.

 

 

 

“ຂ້າ​ພະ​ເຈົ້າ​ຊອກ​ຫາ​ສໍາ​ລັບ knockout ໄດ້. I know Badou is ready, ຂ້າ​ພະ​ເຈົ້າ​ພ້ອມ, ພຶດ​ສະ​ພາ 19 will be exciting.

 

JACK Badou:

 

 

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. Camp has been great. I think I’m getting better and better, and I’m ready to become a world champion again on May 19 and give Toronto a show.

 

 

 

“ລາວ​ເປັນ fighter ທີ່​ເຂັ້ມ​ແຂງ, everybody knows that. He does a lot of things well, not just land the big shots. But I’m a guy who’s great at a lot of things, and who’s coming to win. ຂ້າ​ພະ​ເຈົ້າ​ສັນ​ຍາ​ກັບ​ທ່ານ, I’ll leave Toronto a champion.

 

 

 

We have three more weeks to get ready for one of the biggest fights of my life. I asked for this fight for a long time and finally we got it. On May 19 we’re going to have a three-time world champion.

 

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, ການ​ສົ່ງ​ເສີມ​ການ Mayweather, the champion Adonis Stevenson, Badou Jack, 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.

 

LEONARD Ellerbe, ການ​ສົ່ງ​ເສີມ​ການ Mayweather:

 

 

“ຫນ້າ​ທໍາ​ອິດ, I want to extend our hearts and best wishes to everybody affected by Monday’shorrifying tragedy here in Toronto.

 

 

 

I know first-hand that Toronto is a great sports city. Floyd and I saw it with our own eyes when we were here last year promoting his fight with McGregor. 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.

JARRETT HURD UNIFIES THE 154-POUND DIVISION WITH SPLIT DECISION OVER ERISLANDY LARA IN ACTION PACKED FIGHT SATURDAY ON SHOWTIME® FROM HARD ROCK HOTEL & CASINO ໃນ Las Vegas

James DeGale Earns Back IBF Super Middleweight World Championship With Unanimous Decision In Rematch With Caleb Truax

 

 

Julian Williams Wins IBF 154-Pound Eliminator with Decision Over Nathaniel Gallimore In SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING®Opener

 

 

 

ກົດ ທີ່​ນີ້ ສໍາ​ລັບ​ຮູບ​ພາບ; ການ​ປ່ອຍ​ສິນ​ເຊື່ອ: Stephanie Trapp / ເວ​ລາ​ສາຍ

 

 

 

 

LAS VEGAS (ເດືອນ​ເມ​ສາ 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.

 

 

 

 

ຮູນ (22-0, 15 KOs), 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,” Hurd said. “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 ໃນ​ປັດ​ຈຸ​ບັນ. 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 ຮອບ. But the difference for Lara (25-3-2, 14 KOs), who was making the seventh defense of his title, was the brutal 12th ໄດ້​ຕະ​ຫຼອດ. With blood seeping from a swollen right eye, Hurd connected on a short left hook that floored Lara for the first time in nearly five years.

 

 

 

 

“Besides the last round, I thought I was winning this fight easily,” Lara said. “That’s not to decide the fight. ຂ້າ​ພະ​ເຈົ້າ​ໄດ້​ຊະ​ນະ​ການ​ຕໍ່​ສູ້. One punch in a fight doesn’t determine the fight.

 

 

 

 

“ມັນ​ເປັນ​ການ​ຕໍ່​ສູ້​ທີ່​ຍິ່ງ​ໃຫຍ່​ສໍາ​ລັບ fans ໄດ້. I stood there, fought and it was fun. I thought I clearly won the fight. Once again a decision goes against me, but h​ey we just have to do the rematch.

 

 

 

 

Entering the fight, Charlo was the consensus No. 1 fighter at 154-pounds. He stated his case for a chance to unify against Hurd.

 

 

 

 

“I’m down. Let’s go. We want that work,” Charlo told SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING host Brian Custer. “I feel Hurd only took the fight with Lara because he realized the harder fight is with Jermell Charlo.

 

 

 

 

“We’ve been there before with Lara. I know what he possesses. Hurd has to get his defense together because he cannot get hit like that by me. Lara doesn’t move like he used to. If he moves like he used to he wins that fight.”

 

James DeGale earned back the IBF Super Middleweight World Championship with a unanimous decision in a rematch with Caleb Truax, taking back the title he lost last December in the near-universal upset of the year.

 

 

 

 

The 12-round championship affair was scored 117-110 ແລະ 114-113 ສອງ​ຄັ້ງ. DeGale, who was deducted a point in the 10th for pushing, won the championship rounds – 11 ແລະ 12 – on all three judges’ scorecards to win the decision.

 

 

 

 

“Two-time world champion. ມັນ​ຮູ້​ສຶກ​ທີ່​ຍິ່ງ​ໃຫຍ່,” DeGale said. “But full credit to Caleb – he shows he can mix it with the top fighters.

 

 

 

 

“I’m just happy that I’m a two time world champion and I got my IBF world title back. ຂ້າ​ພະ​ເຈົ້າ​ກັບ​ຄືນ​ໄປ​ບ່ອນ​ພະ​ເຈົ້າ, Team Chunky, we’re back. Two-and-a-half years I had it and I lost it to Caleb. He embarrassed me, but we’re back.”

 

 

 

 

DeGale (24-2-1, 14 KOs) overcame a massive cut from an accidental head butt in the third, which was mistakenly ruled as the result of a punch from referee Robert Byrd.

 

 

 

 

“I couldn’t see from my right eye, DeGale said. “I like Robert Byrd (referee), but today he was a bit wrong. I couldn’t see. But I’m just glad I got through it. I showed some heart. ໃນ​ການ​ຕໍ່​ສູ້​ສຸດ​ທ້າຍ​ຂ້າ​ພະ​ເຈົ້າ, I was like a weak little kid.”

 

 

 

 

DeGale connected on 37 percent of his power shots compared to 28 percent for Truax. He now returns to London a world champion with some massive potential fights in the future.

 

 

 

 

“I want to be busy,” DeGale said. “I have a couple years left in this sport.”

 

 

 

 

Truax (29-4-2, 18 KOs), who fought for the first time as a world champion, was disappointed and advocated for a rematch after the scores were announced.

 

 

 

 

“I thought I did enough to win the fight, but I also thought I was pretty flat and didn’t get my shots off like I wanted,” Truax said. “I was just a little bit flat. I felt really good coming in but I just couldn’t get my shots off like the last fight. ພຣະ​ອົງ​ບໍ່​ເຄີຍ​ທໍາ​ຮ້າຍ​ຂ້າ​ພະ​ເຈົ້າ, ແຕ່​ວ່າ​ມັນ​ເປັນ​ສິ່ງ​ທີ່​ມັນ​ແມ່ນ.

 

 

 

 

“I gave him a rematch straight away so why not do it again.”

 

 

 

 

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. Williams, who edge Gallimore 116-112, 117-110, 114-114, is now in position to challenge Jarrett Hurd.

 

 

 

 

Williams (25-1-1, 15 KOs) 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 11th, 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 KOs) survived the round, and Williams wasn’t able the finish him in the 12th, but it was clear Williams deserved the decision.

 

 

 

 

“I wasn’t surprised a judge had a draw,” Williams said. “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 ແລະ 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 percent of his total shots.

 

 

 

 

 

“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 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME.

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday from Vanity Nightclub at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas:

 

ERISLANDY 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. ສິດ​ທິ​ໃນ​ປັດ​ຈຸ​ບັນ, 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. Come Saturday night, 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. On Sunday, 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.

 

 

 

 

It’s been a great training camp. 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. ຂ້າ​ພະ​ເຈົ້າ​ອາ​ຍຸ​ຍັງ​ນ້ອຍ, ທີ່​ເຂັ້ມ​ແຂງ, taller and longer. He’s not going to be able to run for 12 ຮອບ.

 

 

 

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 ເປີ​ເຊັນ.

 

 

 

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. ໃນ​ຕອນ​ກາງ​ຄືນ​ວັນ​ເສົາ, I will be a two-time world champion. ຂ້າພະເຈົ້າສັນຍາທ່ານວ່າ.

 

 

 

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, ມັນ​ຈົບ​ແລ້ວ.

 

 

 

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.

 

LEONARD Ellerbe, ຊີ​ອີ​ໂອ​ຂອງ​ການ​ສົ່ງ​ເສີມ​ການ Mayweather

 

 

 

This is a great card from top to bottom. We have none other than the longest reigning 154-pound world champion, Erislandy Lara, 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.
