Lubin (22-1, 16 KOs) a remporté son quatrième combat d'affilée depuis une défaite par KO à Charlo Jermell dans un défi titre dans 2017. Le jeune homme de 24 ans débarquèrent 42 pour cent de ses coups de puissance en route vers la grande décision, marqué 99-91 par les trois juges.

Le gaucher est appuyé sur une banlieue crochet gauche, attaque d'une variété d'angles contre la Gallimore durable (21-4-1, 17 KOs) comme il a amélioré à 4-0 depuis le début de former avec le spécialiste Kevin Cunningham gaucher.

“J'ai eu un camp d'entraînement formidable grâce à Kevin Cunningham,” Lubin dit. “Au début, nous avions Terrell Gausha mais il est tombé à cause de sa blessure. Je vous remercie Gallimore pour intensifier à la plaque. Il m'a donné un dur combat et je l'apprécie. Nous avons donné aux fans ce qu'ils voulaient. Je l'ai mesuré. Je lui ai juste chronométré et j'ai pu atterrir mes coups de puissance.

“Kevin est un vrai entraîneur strict et il est un spécialiste gaucher. Nous sommes en train d'améliorer notre jeu chaque camp. Je veux vraiment Jermell Charlo à nouveau. Mon but est de se venger.”

Cunningham a été satisfait de son élève, qui a été poussé au-delà du cinquième tour pour la première fois depuis plus de trois ans.
“Il a toujours été un enfer d'un combattant et je voulais juste d'affiner et d'affiner l'ensemble des compétences,” Cunningham a déclaré. “Il peut faire tout ce que vous pouvez enseigner. Il est le paquet total. Il a le pouvoir, il a la vitesse, il a le jeu de jambes. Il est plus qu'un bagarreur. Il est un combattant habile avec le pouvoir.

“Il est prêt à tous les meilleurs gars dans la division. Les gars avec ceintures sont ce qu'il veut.”

Ancien champion du monde des poids légers Robert Pâques, Jr. a été victorieux dans ses débuts au super léger, remportant une décision unanime sur Adrian Granados dans un combat tout-action marqué 97-93, 98-92, 100-90.

Pâques (22-1-1 14 KOs), qui a perdu son titre des poids légers dans une unification avec Mikey Garcia 2018, a été adapté pour son premier combat un super léger contre l'un des plus agressifs de la boxe, come-combattants avant et le résultat ne déçoit pas. Granados chargé vers l'avant à partir de la cloche d'ouverture, en appuyant sur l'intérieur contre son longiligne, 5-les pieds 11 adversaire. Dans la première moitié de la lutte, Pâques a empoché tours tout en luttant à distance, se penchant sur sa vitesse pour remporter les quatre premiers tours sur les trois juges’ tableaux de bord. Mais la lutte a semblé changer de marées à mi-parcours, avec Granados en mesure de forcer le combat à être contestée à courte portée. Arrondit sept à 10 vedette énorme, échanges de back-et-vient et le Granados plus actif semblaient obtenir le meilleur des échanges.

Les combattants combinés pour jeter 1,815 poinçons total combiné et 1,379 coups de puissance combinés à travers 12 tours.

“Nous savions qu'il allait être un enfer d'un guerrier là-dedans,” Easter. “C'est ce que nous nous entraînons. Ce ne fut pas l'adversaire ordinaire et nous savions qu'il allait l'amener. Je ne suis pas surpris parce que ce qu'il fait. Vous avez vu le combattre avec les meilleurs des meilleurs et il précipitèrent. Je savais qu'il allait jeter coups de poing en grappes.

“Ce fut un enfer d'un test pour moi à 140 et je me sentais fort. Je ne demande pas à personne en particulier, mais vous savez qu'il ya des champions dans cette catégorie de poids et je viens pour toutes les ceintures. Line « em up.”

L'un des combattants d'action les plus fiables de la boxe, Granados (20-8-2, 13 KOs) a jeté plus de coups et connecté plus et a été une nouvelle fois frustrés par une décision qui ne va pas son chemin.

“Je suis sans voix. Je me sentais comme si je gagné le combat,” Granados dit. “Cette 100 à 90? Allez donc.

“Je suis fatigué de la même vieille histoire. Il était clair que je contrôlais la lutte. Il ne m'a jamais blessé avait. C'était embarrassant.

“Je ne peux pas contrôler le jugement. Il est très frustrant. Je rêve d'être un champion du monde et il semble tout comme il ne coupe pas pour moi. Mais j'ai le cœur d'un champion et je ne suis pas renoncer.”

Dans le combat d'ouverture de la télédiffusion, invaincu poids lourd cubain Frank Sanchezdressé un jeu blanc contre Jack In lowayi, remportant une décision unanime de 10 rounds a marqué 100-90 par les trois juges.

Sanchez (14-0, 11 KOs) était le combattant le plus actif de la cloche d'ouverture, ciblant le corps contre le Mulowayi défensif d'esprit (7-2-1, 3 KOs). Sanchez-27 ans, qui a pris la distance de 10 rounds pour la première fois, jeta sur 250 plus de coups que son adversaire.

“Mon adversaire ne voulait pas vraiment se battre, il voulait juste se battre sale,” Sanchez a déclaré. “Donc, tout ce que je pouvais faire était de lui donner un mouvement latéral. Il est difficile quand quelqu'un ne veut pas engager. Nous voulions le toucher vers le bas, le toucher en haut. Mais une fois qu'il avait touché, le gars a juste essayé d'attacher.

“Il n'y avait aucun problème à aller 10 tours. Je suis en grande forme et je suis prêt à se battre à nouveau le plus tôt possible. J'ai montré ce soir mon supériorité technique. Tous les ténors bien se tenir.”

Deux fois champion du monde super poids plume Gervonta “Réservoir” Davis a été interviewé lors de Télédiffusion de samedi comme il continue de se former à ses débuts léger Décembre 28 sur SHOWTIME de State Farm Arena à Atlanta.

Orlando, Florida’s Lubin (21-1, 16 KOs) was one of the fastest rising contenders in boxing as he quickly raced to the top of the ladder to challenge Jermell Charlo for the WBC 154-pound championship in 2017. Following a one-punch, first-round stoppage to Charlo, the 24-year-old Lubin has rebounded with three straight stoppage victories of his own to regain his momentum toward a world championship.

I’m approaching this like any other big fight that was in the works for a long time,” dit Gallimore. “I’ve been waiting for this moment in my career for a while. This is a stepping stone that can take me where I want to go. Lubin’s a pretty good boxer-puncher. He was on the rise for a moment and I knew about him coming up. Ça va être un grand combat. I’ll make any adjustment in the ring to capitalize on what I need to do to be victorious that night.

Ajagba du Nigéria (11-0, 9 KOs) most recently passed the toughest test of his professional career when he defeated fellow 2016 Olympian Ali Eren Demirezen by 10-round unanimous decision in July. The 25-year-old Ajagba gained widespread notoriety in August 2018 quand son adversaire, Curtis Harper, est sorti du ring après avoir touché des gants pour commencer le premier tour.

LAS VEGAS (Avril 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.

 

 

 

 

Hurd (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,"A dit Hurd. “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 maintenant. 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 tours. But the difference for Lara (25-3-2, 14 KOs), who was making the seventh defense of his title, was the brutal 12e tour. 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. Je gagnais la lutte. One punch in a fight doesn’t determine the fight.

 

 

 

 

“Ce fut un grand combat pour les fans. 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. Allons-y. 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 et 114-113 deux fois. DeGale, who was deducted a point in the 10e for pushing, won the championship rounds – 11 et 12 – on all three judges’ scorecards to win the decision.

 

 

 

 

“Two-time world champion. Il se sent bien,» A déclaré DeGale. “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. Je suis de retour, 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 (arbitre), but today he was a bit wrong. I couldn’t see. But I’m just glad I got through it. I showed some heart. Dans mon dernier combat, 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,» A déclaré DeGale. “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. Il ne m'a jamais blessé, mais il est ce qu'il est.

 

 

 

 

“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 11e, 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 12e, 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 et 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 pour cent de ses coups totaux.

 

 

 

 

 

“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 sur 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. Maintenant, 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. Le dimanche, 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.

 

 

 

 

“C’est un excellent camp d’entraînement. 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. Je suis plus jeune, fort, taller and longer. He’s not going to be able to run for 12 tours.

 

 

 

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 pour cent.

 

 

 

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. Le samedi soir, I will be a two-time world champion. Je vous promets que.

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

“je dirais 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. Pas d'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, it’s over.

 

 

 

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, PDG de Promotions 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.

LAS VEGAS (Avril 4, 2018) – Champions du monde Erislandy Lara et Jarrett Hurd began fight week with a media workout in Las Vegas Wednesday before their 154-pound world title unification that headlines action this Saturday, Avril 7 live on SHOWTIME from Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

 

 

 

 

Also in attendance Wednesday was super middleweight world champion Caleb Truax, who rematches former champion James DeGale in the co-featured attraction. L'émission de télévision Showtime commence à BOXE CHAMPIONNAT 10 p.m. HE / 7 h, heure. PT with a 154-pound title eliminator between Julian Williams et Nathaniel Gallimore, who were also at the Mayweather Boxing Club Wednesday for the media workout.

 

 

 

 

Billets pour le spectacle, which is promoted by TGB Promotions and Mayweather Promotions, are on sale now and available by visiting AXS.com or the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas Box Office.

 

 

 

 

Voici ce que les combattants avaient à dire mercredi:

 

Erislandy Lara

 

 

 

 

Everything in training went how it was supposed to. We did our job and now it’s time to fight. I did everything in the gym that I needed to prepare for anything that Hurd can bring.

 

 

 

 

All of my opponents are taller than me. His size means nothing to me. I have the experience and I’m the best boxer in the division. He’s never seen anything like me.

 

 

 

 

He has to beat me to get the top spot in this division. I’m here to make sure that doesn’t happen.

 

 

 

 

I’ve earned everything in this sport the hard way. I’ve fought the tough fights for no money. I think everyone knows how talented I am and that I belong up there with the best in the sport.

 

 

 

 

I don’t watch film in training camp. A fighter can look one way on video, but totally different in the ring. He has to prepare for what I’m doing. I’m not worried about what he brings. I saw a little bit of his fight against Trout while I was warming up to fight Terrell Gausha, but that’s about it.

 

JARRETT HURD

 

 

 

 

There was something in me that always wanted this fight. Once I defended my title against Austin Trout, I was quick to get on top of this opportunity.

 

 

 

 

“Cela va être un combat difficile. Lara is the type of fighter who has a lot of experience. It won’t be easy so I have to be well prepared and on top of my game come Saturday night.

 

 

 

 

We’ve been in the gym working a lot on our hand movement and footwork. I took too many punches against Trout and I knew what it was going to take to make those improvements.

 

 

 

 

Every fight is the most important fight of my career because I’m protecting this undefeated record. This is going to be a tough fight but I promise I’m going to give it my all and bring it to Lara all night long.

 

 

 

 

Being back in Vegas and back at Hard Rock where I beat Frank Galarza to really get this whole journey started means a lot to me. I’m planning to give everyone a great show just like I always do.

 

 

 

 

No matter what kind of fight he brings; I’m going to stick to my game plan. He has to fight at my pace. No matter what he comes with, I’m going to be in charge in the ring.

 

 

 

 

It’s always going to be fireworks when I’m in the ring. I have a fan-friendly style. A la fin de la journée,, you don’t have to worry about Lara running away, because I’m going to be in his face for 12 Les manches.”

 

CALEB TRUAX

 

 

 

 

I think DeGale has been making excuses. He couldn’t stop talking about how great his shoulder felt heading into our first fight. Then right after the fight he said he felt fine. Now I guess he came back too early. He was in a tough fight not too long ago, so we’ll see how he is on Saturday night.

 

 

 

 

 

I’m prepared for a better James DeGale. I took his belt and I know he’s going to come back hungry. I expect him to give it his all to get it back. He’ll be in top form.

 

 

 

 

As far as I know, I’m still an underdog for this fight. A lot of people think I was a fluke the first time around, so it’s up to me to prove them wrong. I’m ready to silence the critics and silence DeGale.

 

 

 

 

I felt like I was going to win the whole time, but a lot of people said it was one of the biggest upsets in British boxing history. It still hasn’t really sunk in. Nothing has really changed. I’m a busier man but I still keep it really low key.

 

 

 

 

Boxing isn’t a huge sport in Minneapolis because it’s such a great sports scene. Hopefully my win on Saturday and Jamal James on April 13 on PBC on FS1 will get some more kids into the gyms.

 

 

 

 

There were plenty of things that I had to improve on after the first fight. I’ve had four months to really dig down and prepare for this fight. I’ve known the rematch was coming and I’ve been able to get ready.

 

JULIAN WILLIAMS

 

 

 

 

I had a really good camp. I really was just focused on getting better and moving forward in my career. I got a lot of great rounds in with some quality fighters and it was a really productive camp.

 

 

 

 

I love fighting in Las Vegas. The electricity is always there and the fans are always welcoming. I love putting on a show for these fans.

 

 

 

 

I think Gallimore has performed decently against the competition he’s had. He got beat by a journeyman and had a draw with another journeyman. He seems to have gotten hot at the right time, but we’ll see if he brings it on Saturday night.

 

 

 

 

He’s backing himself into a corner. He has to back up those words he’s saying. Overall I think he’s a solid fighter, a good test and it should be an entertaining fight.

 

 

 

 

He said he’s going to knock me out, but that’s really the only way he could possibly win. One lucky punch. That’s all he’s banking on. I’m going to out class him and out dog him.

 

 

 

 

I’ve always known I had guts, I’ve always known I’m a really good fighter with all the tools to become a world champion. I didn’t need to learn anything about myself after the loss, I just had to correct some things and move forward.

 

NATHANIEL GALLIMORE

 

 

 

 

“Je me sens bien maintenant, I’m ready for the world to see the improved ‘Nate The Great’. I treat every fight like a world championship fight. Julian Williams has nothing for me. He has to worry about what I bring to the table. Le samedi soir, it’s going to be judgement day. The truth will come out.

 

 

 

 

“Ce combat signifie beaucoup pour moi. This is what I’ve been dreaming about since I was a little kid. This is my chance to become great. I’m going to show the world I’m a different beast in the 154-pound division.

 

 

 

 

I’m bringing total domination for this fight. I don’t care what he’s training for. He could be training on Mars. He has to get up to my level. I’m tearing him apart.

 

 

 

 

I’m taking this fight so seriously. Julian Williams is quiet now, but he was loud before he fought Jermall Charlo. He has to figure out who he is. I’m going to show the whole world.

 

 

 

 

 

The game plan is to show off my whole arsenal. We’ve covered everything in the gym. Je suis un animal différent. Everyone in this division better look out for me. They’re going to have to crown me real soon.

Julian Williams Notes de formation Camp

Super Welterweight Contender Takes on Nathaniel Gallimore Saturday, Avril 7 in 154-Pound Title Eliminator Live on SHOWTIME from Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas

SAINT CHARLES, COMME (Mars 30, 2018) – Top des super mi-moyens Julien “J-Rock” Williams will look to put himself closer to another world title shot when he faces Nathaniel Gallimore in a 154-pound world title eliminator Saturday, Avril 7 live on SHOWTIME from Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas.

 

 

 

The Premier Boxing Champions event is headlined by Erislandy Lara, the longest reigning world champion at 154-pounds, clashing with undefeated champion Jarrett Hurd in a highly anticipated 154-pound world title unification bout. L'émission de télévision Showtime commence à BOXE CHAMPIONNAT 10 p.m. HE / 7 h, heure. PT and also features super middleweight world champion Caleb Truax in a rematch against former champion James DeGale.

 

 

 

The 12-round IBF title eliminator gives Williams a chance to earn a second world title fight, while it would be Gallimore’s first shot at the title. Gallimore has been outspoken in his belief that he will stop Williams, but Williams has chosen to not let the words affect him and focus on the task at hand.

 

 

 

I have no reaction to the talk coming from Gallimore,” a déclaré Williams. “He’s trying to draw attention to himself and doing it in a classless way. If he wants a back-and-forth, he’s going to be talking to himself.

 

 

 

He seems like he’s a strong fighter, but you never really know until you step in the ring with a guy. He’s on a hot streak, he’s a big puncher and obviously he has a lot of confidence. We thought this would be a good test and I think it’s going to be a great fight for the fans.

 

 

 

Williams is currently finishing up training camp at the SNAC gym in San Carlos, California with trainer Stephen Edwards. In addition to work in the first part of training in Philadelphia with DeCarlo Perez and Jaron Ennis, he has sparred with the likes of Peter Quillin, Prenice Brewer and Joey Spencer in California.

 

 

 

I’ve been coming out to California for parts of camp since 2014 and it’s really just something that gives me a bit of a spark heading into the fight,” a déclaré Williams. “There are some elevation and recovery aspects of training that we can do out here. It’s also a good way to get away from things and really dig to another level.

 

 

 

Williams has been on the road back to title contention after dropping his first title shot to Jermall Charlo in 2016. Williams knew that he did not need to revamp his entire game and has recovered with victories over former champion Ishe Smith and Joshua Conley leading into this fight.

 

 

 

I thought I was doing well in the Charlo fight so I never pushed the panic button after it didn’t go my way,” a déclaré Williams. “Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. The plan was always to improve each fight and each day in camp, so that’s what we’re still doing. We’ll see on April 7 if it’s enough.

 

 

 

With an opponent who enters this fight on a seven-fight knockout streak, Williams knows he will have to use all of his physical and mental skills to pull out the victory.

 

 

 

It’s going to be up to me what this fight looks like,” a déclaré Williams. “In the ring you have to be mature. I can’t get drawn into the kind of fight that he wants. If I stay focused, I should dominate him.

 

 

 

I’m never going to look past anybody. I know that there’s nothing I can do in my future in this sport if I don’t beat Gallimore. I’m ready to go in there and look impressive on April 7.

Here is what the fighters had to say Thursday from Wild Card Boxing Club:

 

James DeGale

 

 

 

“Le camp d'entraînement a été fantastique. I rushed back from my shoulder injury in my last fight. I couldn’t believe I lost my title and I could only blame myself. I’m lucky to have this chance to make it right and regain my title.

 

 

 

I’m injury-free now and physically ready for this fight. Plus important, I’m mentally ready for this challenge and I can’t wait to get in the ring.

 

 

 

I learned that you can’t rush fitness. I had a reconstructive surgery and I came back far too quick. I learned my lesson the hard way. Now I have to get it back the hard way.

 

 

 

Fighting in Las Vegas is another dream come true. So many great fights have been there and I just can’t wait. The atmosphere and the vibe will be special. I’m going to put on a fantastic performance and regain my title.

 

 

 

Caleb Truax is not on my level. I’m miles above him. Sur Avril 7 I’m going to show everyone why and show everyone what I’m all about.

 

 

 

As soon as the doctor said that some athletes come back after six months from my injury, I was determined to fight in 2017. Everyone can see that I was slow in the ring. I was ashamed of my performance. It was embarrassing and I’m looking to erase that onApril 7.

 

 

 

I’ve watched the first fight with Truax a couple of times but it’s very tough because I know that’s not me in there. For the past six weeks I’ve felt so much better. My jab is sharp again and everyone will see that when I become a two-time world champion.

 

 

 

Truax has tasted what it’s like to be a world champion. He’s going to be hungry and have that burning desire to beat me. A la fin de la journée,, I’m just too good for him and I’m going to prove it. I have to make a statement.

 

HUGO CENTENO JR.

 

 

 

I’m feeling great right now. The rib injury was somewhat a blessing in disguise. It gave me a training camp for my training camp. Once I came back from the injury I was already in great shape. I feel great and I’m not depleted whatsoever. Je suis 100 percent mentally ready for this fight.

 

 

 

I was disappointed at first because I wanted this fight to happen so badly. I had a chance to regroup and talk with my team and they put me on the right direction. I’ve had a great camp and I believe everything happens for a reason.

 

 

 

I don’t pay attention to anything people are saying about Charlo. I’m staying focused because I know that this fight can change my whole career. I’m ready to win.

 

 

 

Charlo is a strong fighter. A lot of fighters stand in front of him but he’s also a great boxer. I feel like I have those same attributes that he has. It’s going to be a chess match and a great fight.

 

 

 

We have to see who the smarter fighter is on April 21. I know Charlo says he’s going to knock me out in one round, I’m not planning to let him do that. If I get my opportunity, I’m going to take it and I’m going to hurt him.

 

 

 

I learned from my loss that I can’t underestimate anyone in this sport. I’ve stayed in the ring and worked the whole time since the loss and it’s shown. Getting that big knockout over Immanuwel Aleem was a great moment and has helped catapult me back to the top of this division.

 

 

 

This is the kind of fight I’ve looked forward to since I was seven years old. I’m just a kid from a small town trying to make his dream come true. Now the moment is finally here.

 

NATHANIEL GALLIMORE

 

 

 

I’m not worried about the IBF belt right now. I’m worried about Julian ‘J-PebblesWilliams on April 7. I see a lot of things from Williams. I see fear and I don’t think he’s totally there mentally. He should have taken harder fights before this one. This is the wrong fight for him.

 

 

 

 

I’ve had seven knockouts in a row and this is going to be eight. It’s nice to stay active and be able to jump on an opportunity like this when it presents itself.

 

 

 

It’s always important to put on a good show for the fans. I’m a showman. I give the fans what they want. All action.

 

 

 

 

It doesn’t matter where I fight, Je serai prêt. I’m excited to go back to Las Vegas. This is my third time fighting there and I’m planning on making it 3-0.

 

 

 

 

This is a new training camp. I’m working in Los Angeles with John Pullman and Buddy McGirt. The weather is good out here and I think everything is going in my favor. I love the atmosphere out here.

Super Middleweight World Champion Rematches Former Champion James DeGale Saturday, Avril 7 Live on SHOWTIME from Hard Rock Hotel & Casino à Las Vegas

OSSEO, MN (Mars 27, 2018) – IBF des super-moyens champion du monde Caleb “D'or” Truax shocked the boxing world when he defeated then champion James DeGale last December in London to claim his world title. Maintenant, Truax prepares for an equally difficult task as he is set to defend the title in a rematch against DeGale Saturday, Avril 7 live on SHOWTIME from Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

 

 

 

The Premier Boxing Champions event is headlined by Erislandy Lara, the longest reigning world champion at 154-pounds, clashing with undefeated champion Jarrett Hurd in a highly anticipated 154-pound world title unification bout. L'émission de télévision Showtime commence à BOXE CHAMPIONNAT 10 p.m. HE / 7 h, heure. PT and features Julian Williams et Nathaniel Gallimore meeting in a 154-pound world title eliminator.

 

 

 

The Osseo, Minnesota-native was a significant underdog when he went on the road to the U.K. to challenge DeGale in his return from a shoulder injury. Truax was able to overcome his perceived disadvantages by seemingly catching DeGale off-guard and under prepared, something that he believes could happen again on April 7.

 

 

 

I think DeGale overlooked me last time and I think he’s doing it again this time,” Saïd Truax. “I see him already talking about fighting David Benavidez and George Groves. Did he not learn his lesson the first time?

 

 

 

 

I think his injury talk is an excuse as well. He said his arm and shoulder felt fine heading into and immediately after the fight last December. I don’t believe any of that injury talk. It means nothing to me.

 

 

 

Truax put his small hometown in Minnesota on the boxing map with his championship-winning victory, but hasn’t let any newfound recognition change his routine or demeanor.

 

 

 

 

The reaction here in Minnesota has been fantastic ever since I returned from London,” Saïd Truax. “Everybody at home has shown me so much love. I’ve definitely been busier than I used to be, and I suppose that comes with the territory, but I still stay pretty low-key. I have my routine and I love just being with my two-year-old daughter and the rest of my family and friends. Overall I’ve just tried to stay true to who I am and live the same lifestyle.

 

 

 

 

A graduate of the University of Minnesota with a degree in Sociology, Truax is currently carrying the mantle for the Minnesota boxing scene and hopes that his victory can inspire it to grow. Truax is just the third Minnesota-born fighter to win a world title.

 

 

 

 

Me capturing this world title has been huge for our boxing community here,” Saïd Truax. “I was the first guy since Will Grigsby in the 2000s to do it. There haven’t been many champions from here and people are excited to have another homegrown champion again. Hopefully this will get more people around here into gyms and the sport of boxing.

 

 

 

 

 

Truax is now deep into training to prove that he has staying power as a champion by defeating DeGale for a second time.

 

 

 

 

The great thing about the last fight is that I came out of it with no injuries,” Saïd Truax. “I was back in the gym before Christmas. Normally I only have about six weeks to prepare for an opponent. But this time around, we knew who we were coming back for and had a long time to prepare.

 

 

 

 

We’re working on adjustments that we expect he’s making and things he’s probably doing to get better. We’ll see what he comes up with on fight night but it’ll be up to me to counter.

 

 

 

 

With more time in training camp to prepare, the champion will look to improve on his impressive first performance and make another statement to the boxing world.

 

 

 

 

I plan on applying pressure and seeing how he reacts,” Saïd Truax. “If he doesn’t’ ajuster, then I don’t see it going any different than the first fight. I’m real confident I’m going to stop James DeGale this time.
