Tässä on mitä lehdistötilaisuudessa osallistujia oli sanottavaa Maanantai alkaen Conga Room L. A. Elävät:
MIKEY GARCIA
– Sergey Lipinetsin kaltainen maailmanmestari on minulle jännittävämpi vastustaja kuin helppo tittelin puolustaminen. Halusin haasteen ja tämä mies esittelee sen. Hän on luonnostaan isompi mies. Hän tulee olemaan erittäin nälkäinen ja motivoitunut. Hän tietää, että voitto minusta käynnistää hänen uransa huipulle. Se tekee tästä ottelusta mielenkiintoisen.
”Maailmanmestaruuden voittaminen neljännessä divisioonassa on minulle iso asia. Isäni halusi aina kolmen sarjan maailmanmestarin, ja nyt minulla on mahdollisuus antaa hänelle neljäs titteli. Se on asia, joka todella innostaa minua.
"Se on ollut loistava paluu nyrkkeilyyn irtisanomiseni jälkeen. Kun tulin takaisin, Halusin edetä nopeasti ja tarttua suuriin haasteisiin. Sitä olemme tehneet tähän asti. Haluan ottaa vastaan kaikki haasteet, joita ihmiset ajattelevat etten voi saavuttaa. Luulen, että pikkuhiljaa todistamme kaikille, että olen parempi kuin koskaan ja aion jatkossakin ottaa vastaan sellaisia taisteluita, jotka vahvistavat perintöäni.
"Olisi hieno saavutus päästä keskusteluun Manny Pacquiaon ja Juan Manuel Marquezin kaltaisten tyyppien kanssa., se olisi voitto sinänsä. Mutta se ei ollut mielessäni tätä taistelua vastaan. Haluan vain jatkaa taistelua parhaan kanssa. Minulla on vielä tehtävää, kunnes olen samalla tasolla Pacquiaon ja Marquezin kanssa.
"Siitä tulee hieno taistelu. Kuten olen sanonut, haaste minulle on, että taistelen isompaa miestä vastaan. On taistelu yö, se etu, joka hänellä on minuun, saattaa riittää tekemään siitä paljon jännittävämmän. On mielenkiintoista nähdä, kuinka hyvin sopeudun kokoon. Minun täytyy tehdä muutoksia voittaakseni nämä haasteet. Tämän pitäisi antaa faneille sitä jännitystä, jonka haluamme antaa heille.
"Ainoa huomioni on Helmikuu 10 Sergei Lipinetsiä vastaan. Se on tavoitteeni koko leirin ajan. Horisontissa minulle saattaa olla enemmän mahdollisuuksia, mutta näet taisteluillassa, että olen sataprosenttisesti keskittynyt.
– Tiedän, että minulla on mahdollisuus olla nyrkkeilyn suurin tähti Floyd Mayweatherin tavoin, ja uskon olevani oikealla tiellä saavuttaakseni sen. En näe urheilussa monia tyyppejä, joilla on ansioluettelo saavutuksistani. Aion jatkossakin ottaa parhaat puolet vastaan ja voittaa vastustajani vakuuttavasti.
SERGEY LIPINETS
– Mikey Garcia on loistava mestari ja haluan olla siinä asemassa, missä hän on saavutettu tässä urheilussa. Ainoa tapa on mennä hänen läpi.
"Otan suuren haasteen Mikey Garciaa vastaan, ja monet ihmiset ajattelevat, etten ole valmis. Tämä on taistelu, jonka halusin. Minulla on ollut monia esteitä tielläni urani aikana ja olen voittanut ne kaikki. Aion voittaa Mikey Garcian juuri sillä tavalla.
"Joka kerta, kun olen sparrannut huipputaistelijoiden kanssa, kuten Terrence Crawford, Olen oppinut enemmän siitä, mitä minun on parannettava päästäkseni seuraavalle tasolle tässä urheilussa. Tällainen kokemus on lisännyt itseluottamustani ja auttaa minua kohtaamaan Mikey Garcian.
”Paljon kasvaessa voi tapahtua paljon asioita. Yleensä ihmiset käyttävät jotain poppia. Mikä tahansa versio Mikey Garciasta tulee näkyviin; Olen valmis häntä varten.
"Uskon, että aion voittaa, Mikey uskoo voittavansa, ja se kaikki paljastuu kehässä. Yhden asian voin taata; se tulee olemaan suuri taistelu.
"Jokainen taisteluni on ollut kovaa vastustajaa vastaan, joka on auttanut minua pääsemään tähän pisteeseen. Nyt, Olen valmis taistelemaan parhaan kanssa, ja Mikey Garcia on todella sitä.
– Minun piti työskennellä kovasti siirtyäkseni mestaripotkunyrkkeilijästä mestarinyrkkeilijäksi. Tein kaiken, mitä minun piti tehdä, liikutaan salilta salille ja sparrataan kaikkia. Pyrin aina parhaaseen ja halusin olla paras siinä, mitä teen.
ROBERT GARCIA, Miken veli & Kouluttaja
"Tiedämme, että Sergei Lipinets on erittäin vaarallinen taistelija. Hän on todella vahva mestari. Tiedän, että hän tulee olemaan nälkäinen, koska hän haluaa tulla suureksi nimeksi lyömällä Mikeyn.
"Mikey on erittäin älykäs kehässä. Tulemme sinne hyvällä pelisuunnitelmalla. Meillä on suuria sparrauskumppaneita. Vahva, raskaat kaverit, jotka antavat Mikeylle suuren haasteen sparrauksessa.
– Mikeyn on oltava hyvässä kunnossa tätä ottelua varten. Voit helposti voittaa kahdeksan ensimmäistä kierrosta, mutta neljä on vielä jäljellä. Sinun täytyy pystyä lopettamaan taistelu. Lipinetsin kaltainen mahtava rei'itin voi lopettaa sinut yhdellä kierroksella."
BUDDY MCGIRT, Lipinetsin kouluttaja
”Olemme valmiita kaikkeen. Tällä tavalla, kun taisteluilta tulee, meillä on vastaus kaikkeen. Tärkeintä on, että meidän on vain oltava paikalla avauskellosta loppuun asti. Sitä ei voi kiertää.
– Aiomme kattaa kaiken harjoitusleirillä. Sinulla on oltava kaikki vaihtoehdot käytettävissäsi taisteluillassa. Tällä tavalla, et ole koskaan yllättynyt kehässä. Sergey ei mene sinne heilumaan saadakseen tyrmäyksen, hän tulee olemaan kurinalainen ja keskittyy voittoon.
”Uskon, että Sergey on lähetystyössä. Tiedän, että myös Mikey Garcia on lähetystyössä, ja kunnioitan sitä. Kunnioitan sitä, että nämä kaksi miestä taistelevat keskenään. Mestarit tekevät sen, mitä Sergey tekee, ja se on taistelua parasta."
RICHARD SCHAEFER, Puheenjohtaja & Toimitusjohtaja Ringstar Urheilu
"Tästä tulee valtava ilta 140 punnan divisioonalle. Se on toinen varpaisiin varpaisiin välienselvittely Alamodomessa San Antoniossa, jossa niin monia mahtavia otteluita on pelattu aiemmin. Liput alkavat vain $20 joten odotamme jälleen suurta joukkoa taistelufaneja Texasissa.
"Tässä ottelussa on kaksi voittamatonta taistelijaa, kaksi isoa nyrkkeilijää ja 50 voittoa, 40 by tyrmäys, heidän kahden välillä. Nämä kaverit ovat molemmat mestareita, jotka uskaltavat olla mahtavia. Nämä ovat juuri sellaisia taistelijoita, joista yleisö pitää. Nämä taistelijat pyrkivät olemaan mahtavia.
"Nämä kaverit tietävät vain yhden asian, ja se on voitto. Sergey Lipinets on suurin lyöjä 140 punnan painollaan ja näyttää siltä, että Mikey Garcia etsii aina näitä suuria lyöntejä.
"Mikey haluaa tehdä jotain, mitä vain Manny Paccquiao ja Juan Manuel Marquez ovat tehneet, siirtyessään ylöspäin 126 kiloa läpi 140 puntaa voittotittelin jokaisessa divisioonassa. Sitä voimaa on erittäin vaikea kantaa höyhenpainosta. Sinun täytyy virittyä nähdäksesi jännittävän taistelijan, joka yrittää tehdä historiaa.
STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Varatoimitusjohtaja & Toimitusjohtaja, Showtime Urheilu
”Nyrkkeily tarvitsee hienoja taisteluita. Hyvä, korkealaatuiset ottelut, kuten Leo Santa Cruz vs. Carl Frampton, Keith Thurman vs.. Danny Garcia ja Errol Spence vs. Kell Brook. Hyviä taisteluita tarvitaan jatkuvasti, ja sitä olemme tehneet SHOWTIMEssa parin viime vuoden ajan. Mikään muu verkko ei ole tehnyt SHOWTIMEn tasoisia taisteluita. Mikään muu verkosto ei ole niin sitoutunut urheiluun kuin SHOWTIME on ollut.
"Parhaiden täytyy taistella parasta vastaan, ja niin Mikey Garcia on tehnyt. Hän pääsi kahden ja puolen vuoden lomautuksen jälkeen sisään 18 kuukauden hänellä on ollut neljä tappelua, kaksi mestaruusottelua ja aikoo hakea mestaruutta neljännessä painoluokassa, jotain vain Manny Pacquiao ja Juan Manuel Marquez ovat tehneet aiemmin. Sitä suuret taistelijat tekevät.
"Historiallisesti taistelijat, jotka erottavat itsensä legendaarisista, ovat niitä, jotka haastavat itsensä ja matkustavat painoluokkien yli etsiäkseen näitä haasteita. Mutta tässä tarinassa on kaksi puolta. Ne, jotka ovat kiinnittäneet huomiota, ovat nähneet Sergey Lipinetsin pitävän paljon melua SHOWTIME-korteista viime aikoina.. Hän on noussut hyvin nopeasti.
"Jos katsot vain Lipinetsin ennätystä, 13-0, ja ajattele hänen taistelevan Mikey Garciaa, se kuulostaisi hullulta. Mutta jos katsot hänen kohtaamaansa kilpailua, hänen viimeisellä seitsemällä vastustajallaan on yhteensä ennätys 163-15. Sitä ei yleensä näe 13 taistelee uralle. Lipinets on taisteluveteraani, ja mitä tahansa kehässä tapahtuu, hän on valmis siihen. Siitä tulee jännittävä ilta."

29-vuotias Garcia (37-0, 30 KOs), painokkaasti palasi pound-for-pound luettelot 2017 pisteyttämällä kohokohta kela tyrmäyksellä Dejan Zlaticanin voittaa WBC Kevyt MM tammikuussa ja sitten hallitseva neljän divisioonan mestari Adrien Broner matkalla yksimielistä päätöstä heinäkuussa. Garcia on jäsenenä tunnettu nyrkkeily perhe, ja on tunnettu hänen urheilullisuutta ja hänen käskeä läsnä renkaassa, hiottu veljensä ja ylistämä kouluttaja Robert Garcia.
Garcia, Moreno Valley Poiketen Oxnard, Kalifornia., palasi kehään jälkeen kahden ja puolen vuoden lomautus heinäkuussa 2016 menettämättä hetkeäkään pysäyttämällä entisen mestarin Elio Rojas. Garcia, joka on hoitanut maailmanmestaruuksia osoitteessa 126, 130 ja 135 kiloa, on lopettanut 19 hänen viimeisen 22 vastustajia kuten Roman “Kallioinen” Martinez, Juan Manuel Lopez ja Orlando Salido.
“It is a dream to have the opportunity to become a four-division worldchampion,” Garcia sanoi. “San Antonio has some of the greatest boxing fans in the country, including some key supporters of my Robert Garcia Boxing Academy family. Since my last fight, I have stayed in the gym. I can’t wait to give the fans in Texas and those watching at home on SHOWTIME another great performance.”
Lyömätön Lipinets (13-0, 10 KOs) vallanneet huippukevyet mestaruutensa vain hänen 13th pro taistelu kukistamalla Akihiro Kondo kautta päätöksensä yksimielisesti Marraskuu 4 Showtime. Hän on kotoisin Kazakstanista mutta muutti Venäjälle, kun hän oli kuusi vuotta vanha. Hän asuu nykyisin Beverly Hills, Kalifornia, Lipinets ja on koulutettu Buddy McGirt.
28-vuotias nousi 140 paunan rankingissa voittoja sitten lyömätön Haskell Rhodes, Levan Ghvamichava ja Walter Castillo ennen tyrmäämällä Leonardo Zappavigna vuonna maailmanmestaruuden Eliminator viime joulukuussa. Lipinets will look to stamp his place as an elite fighter when he takes on the accomplished and dangerous Garcia on Helmikuu 10.
“Getting the title is one thing, but keeping the title is a more difficult task,” said Lipinets. “I’m not about to give it away to anybody. No disrespect to Mikey Garcia or anybody else out there, but I’m keeping my title. Beating Mikey Garcia will put me in the elite of boxing where I believe I belong. I’m happy my team was able to put this great fight together. I can promise you this won’t be a snoozer. It’s going to be an action-packed fight for sure.”
“We’re going to call it’ ‘Undefeated.’ That pretty much sums it up. Two undefeated fighters, champion versus champion,” sanoi Richard Schaefer, Puheenjohtaja & Toimitusjohtaja Ringstar Urheilu. “It’s a big challenge for Mikey Garcia to win a championship belt in his fourth weight class. Lipinets never backs down and he’s out to show that’s he one of the biggest punchers in the division. A win for Lipinets is a game-changer for his family and his career. A win for Mikey is another feather in his cap and will help him be recognized as pound-for-pound best in the world. I’m happy to be back in San Antonio at the Alamodome. I’ve promoted some big fights there. San Antonio fight fans are in for a real treat seeing two of the best fighting each other. I’m sure the fans will embrace this fight.”
“We have another intriguing matchup of two young, hungry undefeated fighters who lay it on the line every time they step into the ring,” said Tom Brown, Presidentti TGB Kampanjat. “As talented as Mikey is, you can’t count Lipinets out. He’s one of the hardest hitters in the 140-pound division. He’s a tough competitor and there’s a reason why he’s a world champion. He knows this is a career-defining fight and he’s going to do everything he can to spoil the party for Garcia in San Antonio on Feb. 10.”
“In three consecutive fights on SHOWTIME since his return to the sport, Mikey Garcia has solidified his position on boxing’s pound-for-pound lists,” sanoi Stephen Espinoza, Executive Vice President ja General Manager, Showtime Urheilu. “Mikey has proven he’s willing to take on the most avoided opponents in any division as he seeks out the biggest possible matchups in the sport. He’ll face yet another dangerous opponent in Sergey Lipinets, an undefeated champion in his own right, as he seeks to become a four-division world champion. On the heels of Errol Spence vs. Lamont Peterson on Tammikuu 20, a matchup of consensus top-10 welterweights, we’re proud to deliver this main event of top-5 ranked fighters to build on the momentum.”
Barthelemy (26-0, 13 KOs), who was born in Arroyo Naranjo, Cuba and now lives in Las Vegas, has won world titles at 130 ja 135 kiloa. He defeated Relikh by unanimous decision in his debut at 140 pound in his last fight on Toukokuu 20. If he defeats Relikh again, he will become the first Cuban boxer to win world championships in three different weight classes. He defeated Argenis Mendez by unanimous decision to win the 130-pound world title in 2014 and a year later scored a unanimous decision over Denis Shafikov for the 135-pound world title. Barthelemy, 31, has two brothers, Yan and Leduan, who are professional boxers who he trains alongside with under the tutelage of Ismael Salas.
Relikh (21-2, 19 KOs) believes that he won the first match with Barthelemy and that the scorecards did not reflect the competitive nature of the fight. The 28-year-old nearly had Barthelemy out after landing a barrage of punches that penned Barthelemy on the ropes, but he was only awarded a knockdown. In the eighth round, Barthelemy came back to drop Relikh with a body shot. Shortly after the Toukokuu 20 title eliminator, the WBA ordered a rematch, this time to be contested for the vacant 140-pound title. This will be Relikh’s second world title shot after the fighter from Minsk, Belarus lost a unanimous decision to Ricky Burns in Glasgow, Scotland on Oct. 7, 2016.

BROOKLYN (Heinäkuu 30, 2017) – Three-division world champion Mikey Garcia kept his undefeated record intact with a dominant 12-round performance against four-division world champion Adrien Broner vuonna päätapahtuma Showtime CHAMPIONSHIP NYRKKEILY, Saturday on SHOWTIME from Barclays Center, koti BROOKLYN NYRKKEILY®.
In what could be considered one of the best performances of his career, Garcia (37-0, 30 KO: n) won a unanimous decision by scores of 117-111 ja 116-112 kahdesti.
“Me koulutettu 10 viikkoa, we had a great training camp and great sparring, we knew it was going to be a tough fight,” Garcia sanoi.
Garcia took the lead early on, showcasing fundamentally sound technique and backing Broner into the ropes midway through the second frame. A flurry of body shots put Broner in trouble in the second round. While Broner was able to stay on his feet, Garcia emerged with another round in his favor.
“I think I controlled the fight in the early rounds and I kept the activity up,” Garcia sanoi. “Broner is a great fighter and he has great skills but I was the superior fighter tänä iltana.”
Garcia showed a combination of jabs, power punches and body shots all night long. He cornered Broner on the ropes with a huge left hook halfway through the third frame, and backed him in to the ropes again with 39 seconds remaining in the round. While Broner showed some movement in the fourth round and hit Garcia with a succession of 1-2 combinations, Garcia’s bodywork kept Broner at bay.
“It was part of the strategy to be a little busier in this fight than in the fights I have previously had,” Garcia sanoi.
Broner (33-3, 24 KOs) looked to get back in the fight as he started the eighth round with a succession of sharp combinations, however his lack of consistency couldn’t withstand Garcia’s phenomenal body shots and overall punch output. Through eight rounds, Garcia had thrown a total of 500 lyöntejä, while Broner had just thrown 291.
“It was a good fight at the end of the day, I come to fight I come to win and I put my heart on the line,” Broner said. “But it was Tom & Jerry; I had to catch the mouse.”
Although Garcia had amassed an early lead from the first three-quarters of the fight, Broner continued to walk through heavy fire from Garcia in an attempt to connect with a big punch and change the tide of the fight. While he was able to ignite the crowd and land several big punches over the final three rounds, none of it proved to be enough to slow down Garcia.
“It was my timing, I’ve always said I have very good timing,” Said Garcia. “It is underestimated when you are outside the ring but once you get inside the ring with me, I’m a step ahead.”
Voittamaton Jermall Charlo (26-0, 20 KOs) made his debut at 160-pounds with a stoppage of Argentine contender Jorge Sebastian Heiland (29-5-2, 16 KOs) in the co-featured event of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING. Pysähtyminen tuli 2:13 of the fourth round after Charlo delivered a devastating left hook followed by a big right to end the fight.
Charlo, Houston, Texas, dominated the pace from the beginning. He landed the sharper and more accurate punches throughout the fight, especially in the first round where he landed 50 percent of his power shots to Heiland’s 13 prosentti. Charlo’s straight right was his power weapon throughout the contest.
“I felt good at this weight. I was in good shape all camp,” Said Charlo. “I just had to keep my composure in the ring. That’s always something I have to work on and I was able to do it.
“After I dropped him the first time they said he fell on top of his ankle. That’s just part of the boxing game. I had to just stay consistent and get the work done.”
Heiland, Buenos Aires, Argentiina, had issues with his left leg after injuring his knee in the first round. His discomfort was clear in his awkward footwork and lack of power behind his punches. Referee Benjy Esteves had the doctor examine him twice throughout the fight, once before the third round and then again before the fourth.
“I turned my left knee in the first round, but I did not want to give up,” said Heiland. “Yritin antaa sille kaikki, but it was not my night. I had bad luck but I am going to work harder than ever to get back and get another opportunity to achieve my dream and win a world title.”
Charlo stayed focused on his game plan despite seeing his opponent injured. “Sometimes the injury can be a decoy, you never want to just jump in and think it’s part of his game plan,” Charlo said. “My coach told me to stay behind my jab like I did; continue to work and it’s going to come.”
With this win, Charlo becomes a mandatory challenger for the WBC Middleweight World Championship.
“I’m ready for anyone. I’m ready for whoever wants to fight me,” Charlo added. “Bring on the biggest names at 160. I’m the real Tommy Hearns. I feel it’s my turn and I’m going to go get it.”
Otsikko “SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING Prelims,” raskaansarjan Jarrell Miller (19-0-1, 17 KOs), Brooklyn, N.Y., stopped former world title challenger Gerald Washington (18-2-1, 12 KOs) after eight-rounds.
Miller used his significant size advantage and effective power-punching to break down the former collegiate football player. Washington had some success early with his jab and body attack, but was not able to stay out of punching range of Miller
Washington surged in the sixth round with a series of power shots that staggered Miller, however the Brooklynite countered and further broke down Washington, who landed just 20% of his jabs overall.
Mylläri, who landed almost half of his power punches, continued the onslaught in the seventh and eight rounds, and while Washington was able to stay on his feet, he took enough punishment that his corner called the fight after the eighth round.
“I definitely felt the ring rust,” said Miller, who was making his third appearance on SHOWTIME. “Gerald was very tough. It was a very good fight that had me thinking. My power was there, but I couldn’t put it together the way I wanted to today.
“I took the hard way back coming in off of a layoff. Gerald definitely pushed me and motivated me. I had to rely on my brain and my power.
“I knew there would be a give and take in this fight. It’s one thing to fight when you have stamina, it’s another to fight when you’re tired. I was trying to outthink him.”
Avaavassa bout “SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING Prelims” on Facebook Live, Irish sensation Katie Taylor (6-0, 4 KOs) pysäytetty Jasmiini Clarkson (4-9) after three rounds of action in the latter fighter’s U.S. debyytti.
The Olympic Gold medalist was dominant from the outset, stalking her opponent around the ring and consistently trapping her in the corner. Taylor was effective with both hands and did most of her work to the head of Clarkson. After three rounds of damage, Clarkson’s corner stopped the bout and gave Taylor her first stateside win as a pro.
“It was a fantastic experience being my first time competing here in the U.S,” Said Taylor. “There were definitely some nerves before the fight. It was great to go in there and get a stoppage.
“I hope that I made some fans tänä iltana. I loved hearing the Irish fans in the crowd. I hope that there will be even more next time I fight here. The more fights I have here in the U.S. parempi.
“I thought I performed pretty well. I definitely got caught with a few silly shots. I could have been cleaner but overall it was a good performance. I felt good and strong. I’ll be ready to get back in there as soon as possible.”
Additional action saw former world champion Rau'shee Warren (15-2, 4 KOs) earn a unanimous decision victory over former champion McJoe Arroyo (17-2, 8 KOs) and became the mandatory challenger for the IBF Junior Bantamweight World Title.
Warren attacked the body throughout the bout and landed the cleaner, more effective punches over the 12-round contest. The judges concurred and gave him the decision by scores of 118-10 ja 117-111 kahdesti.
“I would give myself a B+ for that performance,” said Warren. “I wanted to make sure to use my jab and I felt like it really helped me win the fight.
“I feel really good at this weight. Now it’s time for me to go get a strap. I haven’t been at this weight since the Olympics. I want to get these titles and then go down to 112 pounds for another title. First I want to take care of Jerwin Ancajas.”
Lauantain fights will replay on Sunday, Heinäkuu 30 at 8:35 a.m. ET on SHOWTIME and on Maanantai, Heinäkuu 31 at 10:30 p.m. JA/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME on DEMAND® ja SHOWTIME ANYTIME®.

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday from Dream Hotel Downtown:
ADRIEN Broner
“Just know that I’ll be ready lauantaina yö. I’m not worried about how much he’ll weigh when we step into the ring. I’m ready for anything.
“Camp was tough, but it was great. I did a lot of things differently and made sure that I was doing everything right. I made sure not to cut any corners this camp.
“This is going to be a great fight for boxing. I’ve done my due diligence. I’m going to take care of business. I just know myself and know what I’m capable of.
“Every fight is a must-win in this sport. There’s no fight you go into with a loss on your mind. I’m going to put on a show lauantaina.
“I laugh when people write me off. I’m used to being the underdog coming from where I come from. People don’t know what I’ve been through to get to this point. I’m blessed to be where I’m at. Lauantai night there will be a lot more room on the bandwagon.
“We’ll see who’s on the pound-for-pound list after Lauantai yö. We could have fought years ago but the time is now and I’m ready.
“I’m glad that the Garcia team took this fight as quickly as we did. I’ve been taking everything seriously in Colorado. I know Mikey will be ready too. Robert Garcia definitely has some confidence from beating me with Marcos Maidana. But Mikey is not Maidana.
“I just don’t feel like Mikey will be able to do anything to stop me from getting the victory. I’m sure he’s confident too. After I make it look easy, I want everyone to write about it and say something good.
“I can make anybody quit in the ring. Mikey is no different. If I execute and stay focused, don’t be surprised. Olen valmis tähän taisteluun.
"Lauantai is going to be a special day for me. My birthday is huomenna. I’m almost 30. I want to dedicate this victory to my twin brother Andre. Seeing his smile will make it even more special for me.”
MIKEY GARCIA
“I’m prepared to go 12 hard rounds with Adrien Broner. This is a high profile fight. Probably more than my other fights. It’s created a lot of buzz amongst fans and media. Everyone is anticipating a great fight. This is a great matchup that can take me to the next level.
“I don’t think that he’s going to be desperate but he knows that I’m not an easy opponent. That’s why he’s taken camp so seriously. I expect him to be at his best and be ready. He knows that if he beats me he can launch his career back to where it was.
“He’s a four-division world champion so clearly he has the skills. I need someone who is hungry and motivated to bring out the best in me. My main focus is getting the win by any means necessary.
“I’m going to lo look to box effectively and show that I’m the better fighter. We’re both smart fighters but neither of us will run from the other. When you have styles like ourselves, with two guys who like to exchange punches, you’re in for a great battle.
“I think Adrien will be fine with the weight. He’s a pro and he knows that he really has to make weight. He’s learned from his mistakes. Sometimes he jokes around but that’s just part of his character. He takes things a lot more seriously because he’s facing me.
“If I can get this win, I just want to keep moving forward and fulfilling my dreams. I want to be in huge fights consistently. This is a crossroads fight for both of us to get to that level.
“I’m very excited to be here. Brooklyn was very kind to me when I fought here last year. I expect the fans to be here and show up like they always do lauantaina. There are incredible boxing fans in New York.
“I’m here to prove that I’m back and stronger than ever. This is another opportunity to show the kind of fighter that I am. I won’t let Adrien Broner stand in my way. This is my chance to show the best version of myself.”
Charlo JERMALL
“I feel great and ready to make my debut at 160 kiloa. Camp has gone smoothly. I’m ready to dominate this division like I did 154 kiloa. My plan is to care of Heiland and then everything else will fall into line from there.
“This is a bigger, better and stronger version of Jermall Charlo. Everything has come together during camp. Ronnie Shields runs a great camp and I believe he’s continuing to bring the best out of me.
“I’m completely focused on this matchup. I know that I can’t get any of the big fights that I crave without taking care of Heiland. I’m going to break him down and if the knockout comes, I’ll make sure to take advantage.
“My hat is off to Adrien Broner and Mikey Garcia for bringing out all the fans and media for this great show. It’s a real thrill to be a part of this event.”
JORGE SEBASTIAN HEILAND
“I’m thankful to everyone who has welcomed me to New York. I’m happy to have this big opportunity and I’m 100 percent prepared for whatever Jermall Charlo brings. Jermall is a great fighter and I know that he is going to bring everything he has.
“I’ve had an amazing camp and I’ve never felt more prepared for an opportunity than this. I was very patient and I will take full advantage. My plan is to leave everything in the ring lauantaina.
“My team has been with me for a long time as I waited for this opportunity. Be ready because it’s going to be a battle and a great matchup lauantaina. You won’t want to miss it.”
GERALD WASHINGTON
“I came here to go to work. I’m going to shut that big mouth of his up. I hope someone is holding him accountable for all the words he’s been saying. You’re in there with a real one lauantaina yö. I’m going to welcome you to this game for real.
“I’m sure he’ll try to bring some extra pressure. I’m going to introduce him to a new class of boxing. I’ve taken a lot from my experiences in training camp with Wladimir Klitschko and in the ring with Deontay Wilder. You’ll see the difference lauantaina.
“I’m still growing in this sport. I’ve been learning on the job this whole time and each experience just means so much to me. I wanted to take on a tough undefeated fighter because I knew that it would make it a great fight.
“This is most definitely ending inside of the distance. I’m coming after him. I’m going to wear him out. Then it’s time to take him out.”
JARRELL MILLER
“If you don’t know who “Big Baby” is, you soon will. I’ve never seen anyone get knocked out and get praised for it, but that’s what people are doing for Washington. I’ve never been hurt in my life in the ring and I’ll prove it lauantaina.
“This guy said he’s going to introduce me to big-time boxing. I’ve been in front of huge crowds and I’ve come through with knockout wins. I’ll be more than ready lauantaina yö.
“I’ve got big plans in this sport and this is only the start. Brooklyn fans loved their hometown heavyweights Mike Tyson and Riddick Bowe. I’m going to be next in that line and this city will love me.”
KATIE TAYLOR
“It’s incredible to be here in New York and to make my US debut on this incredible card. It’s truly a privilege.
“Training has gone so well and I’m so happy that SHOWTIME will stream the fight. It’s incredible for my fans overseas and all fans of women’s boxing.
“I hope to make a strong statement this weekend and I hope everyone enjoys the fight lauantaina night. "
LEONARD Ellerbe, Toimitusjohtaja Mayweather Kampanjat
“This is definitely a must-see event lauantaina yö. Two great fighters, fighting at the right time, both in the prime of their careers. Se tulee olemaan suuri show.
“One of the main reasons why boxing is going to the next level is because the people at the top have a vision of seeing great fights. We have another great example of that lauantaina yö Barclays Center
“Anytime you have a great event, it’s going to start with the undercard. We have a lot of young fighters looking to show off their skills. We’re thrilled to have our very own Richardson Hitchins and Kenny Robles competing in exciting undercard action.”
LOU Dibella, Presidentti Dibella Viihde
“A month from now there will be a huge event in Las Vegas, mutta two days from now there is the best fight card of the summer, the best fight of the summer, and a great show from top to bottom at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
“This is a great summer of boxing for SHOWTIME and it’s great to be in this room and see all the great attention that this fight card is getting. This is one of the best representations that we can have of our sport. This is one of the most stacked cards I’ve ever been involved with.
“There are a lot of good reasons to get a ticket and come to Barclays Center lauantaina yö. There will be a strong Irish presence on the card Lauantai with both Katie Taylor and Noel Murphy entering the ring.”
STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Executive VP & Toimitusjohtaja, Showtime Urheilu
"Lauantai is a testament to SHOWTIME’s commitment to boxing and boxing fans. We’ve worked hard to deliver the most important bouts from around the world. We have three separate telecasts, five fights, across two continents.
“We will also be streaming Katie Taylor’s U.S. debyytti. People know Katie from reputation alone, and we thought it was important to have her fight seen. The heavyweight fight between Gerald Washington and Jarrell Miller is another one that deserves to be seen and I think it could be the fight that steals the show.
“The main event has two of the brightest young stars in boxing. They both feel like they’ve been on this stage for a while. You know their resumes and you have to give them all of the credit in the world for taking this fight. Neither had to take this fight, but it will be one of the most exciting matchups of the summer.
“We have had 19 live presentations and 15 world title fights so far and we’re proud of what we’ve done accomplished so far. Boxing has had a great year and much of that has been carried by SHOWTIME boxing. That will continue lauantaina."
BRETT YORMARK, Brooklyn Sportsin toimitusjohtaja & Viihde
“This card is our fourth major card this year. It’s been an incredible year for BROOKLYN BOXING. We’ve made a commitment to bring the best boxing to the borough. With all of our partners help, we have been able to accomplish that.
“We welcome both of these fighters back to Brooklyn. They’ve both built fan bases and we’re excited to see both of them back in the building and in the ring lauantaina.
“The whole night of boxing is going to be incredible. I welcome Jermall Charlo to Brooklyn, your brother had a great night in April and I’m sure you will follow in his footsteps.”
