CARSON, CALIF.(Mei 29, 2021) -Nonito Donaire adalah juara sekali lagi. Empat belas tahun setelah dia memenangkan gelar dunia pertamanya, “Filipino Flash” memperkuat kredensial Hall of Fame-nya dengan kemenangan KO ronde keempat yang sensasionalNordine Oubaaliuntuk merebut gelar WBC World Bantamweight Sabtu malam di acara utama SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING dari Dignity Health Sports Park di Carson, Kalif. dalam acara Premier Boxing Champions.

“Raja telah kembali,Donaire berseri-seri sesudahnya. “Saya suka keramaian. Semua temanku, keluarga, semua penggemar tinju yang keluar terima kasih banyak. Kalian luar biasa.”

Donaire berusia 38 tahun (41-6, 27 Biaya) sekarang menjadi juara dunia tertua di 118-pon. Dia menyelesaikannya dengan tangan kiri yang telah menjadi kartu panggilan karirnya saat dia menjatuhkan Oubaali (17-1, 12 Biaya) total tiga kali.

“Berada di usia ini bukanlah pertanyaannya, ini tentang kinerja saya,” kata Donaire. “Tentang kemampuanku untuk tumbuh. Saya percaya tidak masalah berapa usia Anda, tapi seberapa kuat mentalmu. Apa yang saya pelajari dari [Naoya] Pertarungan Inoue adalah aku kembali. Saya masih bisa bersaing di level ini. Sepanjang waktu saya tidak berkelahi, saya sedang belajar. Saya siap untuk yang berikutnya.”

Mengikuti ronde pertama yang terasa, Donaire pergi bekerja di detik, berjalan Oubaali ke bawah dan melawan dengan efek berdebar. Donaire mencetak knockdown pertama di awal set ketiga, menjatuhkan Oubaali dengan hook kiri counter khasnya. Orang Prancis itu bangkit dengan kaki goyah dan Donaire menerkam, mendaratkan lebih banyak pukulan besar sampai pukulan kiri lainnya menjatuhkan Oubaali hanya sepersekian detik sebelum putaran berakhir. Lagi, Oubaali berjuang untuk berdiri, linglung namun mau berjuang.

Akhir datang dengan cepat di yang keempat. Donaire dengan ahli mengarahkan Oubaali di sekitar ring, menjepitnya ke tali di mana pukulan kiri membuat Oubaali ambruk ke kanvas untuk ketiga kalinya dan terakhir. Wasit Jack Reiss segera membatalkannya. Waktu resmi penghentian adalah 1:52 dari putaran keempat.

“Tiga dekade menjadi juara dunia. Juara dunia sembilan kali. Itu luar biasa,” kata Donaire. “Saya datang ke sini dan saya merasa sangat baik. Hari ini saya tahu persis apa yang akan terjadi. Saya tahu persis apa yang akan saya lakukan. Saya pikir saya hanya sangat fokus di gym. aku sangat, sangat fokus. Saya hanya merasa sangat senang masuk dan saya bersyukur mendapatkan kesempatan ini.

“Malam ini adalah sesuatu yang harus saya buktikan kepada dunia bahwa saya kembali dan saya lebih kuat dari sebelumnya. Dia adalah pria yang sangat tangguh. Saya pikir akhirnya untuk saya, ada level haruskah aku lebih bersabar? Atau haruskah saya melakukannya?? Sesuatu yang saya pelajari dalam pertarungan Inoue adalah untuk membunuh. Dan itulah yang saya lakukan. saya sabar, tapi aku tahu dia cukup terluka sehingga aku bisa membawanya keluar.”

Dalam co-fitur, Puerto RicoSubriel Matias (17-1, 17 Biaya) memberikan tampilan pukulan kuat lainnya power, mogok sebelumnya-tak terkalahkanBatyr Jukebayev (18-1, 14 Biaya) sampai tendangan sudut Jukembayev menghentikan pertarungan setelah delapan ronde yang memukau.

“Saya pikir ini yang diharapkan semua orang. Semua orang tahu itu akan menjadi perang yang hebat,” kata Matias. “Ini akan berakhir dengan KO apakah saya akan tersingkir atau Jukembayev akan tersingkir.. Saya hanya senang saya yang menjatuhkannya.”

Matias membuktikan dirinya sebagai salah satu yang terbaik di divisi bertumpuk, tapi kemenangan terakhir ini tidak mudah. Jukebayev dari Kazakhstan keluar dengan kuat, mendaratkan kombinasi pukulan hook-kanan kanan di lantai atas dari posisi kidalnya yang menarik perhatian Matias pada awalnya.

Jukebayev mendorong kecepatan di detik. Matias mulai melepaskan tangannya di yang ketiga, melempar kombinasi ke kepala dan tubuh. Kedua kombatan sekarang sepenuhnya dihangatkan, menyiapkan panggung untuk putaran keempat yang bisa menjadi kandidat untuk “Round of the Year.”


Itu dimulai ketika sebuah hook kiri yang keras membuat Jukebayev terhuyung-huyung dan membawanya ke kanvas. Matias berusaha untuk menutup pertunjukan tetapi Jukembayev bertahan, membersihkan kepalanya dan mulai mendaratkan tembakannya sendiri. Dengan satu menit tersisa di bait, Jukembayev mengejutkan Matias dengan umpan silang kiri. Alih-alih clinching, Matias melawan api dengan api, membawa orang banyak keluar dari tempat duduk mereka dengan aksi kaki-ke-kaki sampai bel berbunyi.

Matias tidak pernah berhenti maju. Mengikuti seperenam satu sisi, Jukebayev kembali ke sudutnya dengan kedua mata bengkak tertutup. Bolak-balik terjadi di ronde ketujuh saat Jukembayev memukul Matias dengan dua hook kanan menjelang akhir ronde..

Matias kembali ke kursi pengemudi di ronde kedelapan, menggebrak Jukebayev dengan kedua tinjunya. Total, dia mengalahkan Jukebayev dengan 100 pukulan (234/608 untuk 134 /409) dan lebih akurat (38.5% untuk 32.8%). Akumulasi pukulan sudah cukup untuk meyakinkan sepak pojok Jukembayev untuk meminta pertarungan dihentikan.

“Dia tahu dia tidak akan rugi. Dia masuk dan melakukan segalanya dengan kuat,” kata Matias. “Dia tahu bahwa yang bisa dia lakukan hanyalah menjatuhkan saya untuk menang. Saya akan melakukan hal yang sama. Itu adalah hati seorang pejuang dan dia memiliki semua rasa hormat saya.

“Setelah putaran keempat itu, Maksud saya dia adalah petarung yang sangat kompetitif, jadi itu berubah menjadi perang setelah itu. Tanganku naik ke dia juga. Itu adalah pertarungan besar. Saya pasti memiliki lawan lain yang sangat bagus, tapi ini adalah salah satu yang telah memberi saya ujian terberat. ”

Di pembuka siaran, Gary Antuanne Russell (14-0, 14 Biaya) melanjutkan pendakiannya ke peringkat super ringan. Russell yang tak terkalahkan menjadi yang pertama menghentikan yang kasarJovanie santiago (14-2-1, 10 Biaya), mendominasi Santiago sampai wasit Sharon Sands menghentikan pertandingan setelah ronde keenam atas saran tendangan sudut Santiago.

“Tujuannya adalah mengeluarkan pria itu sesegera mungkin dan keluar tanpa cedera,” kata Russel. “Saya hanya ingin mengatakan bahwa Santiago adalah lawan kelas-A. Banyak orang mengira dia mengalahkan Adrien Broner. Saya ingin Adrien Broner sekarang.”

Dengan kakak laki-laki dan Juara Kelas Bulu Dunia WBC Gary Russell Jr. bekerja di sudutnya, Gary Antuanne mengendalikan aksi dari bel pembukaan opening. Itu 2016 Olympian melakukan jab dan langsung meninggalkan posisi kidal, menjentikkan kepala Santiago ke belakang beberapa kali pada awalnya.

Russell, 24, terus mendarat di kiri di yang kedua dan ketiga. Di awal keempat, dia mengikuti lurus ke kiri ke tulang rusuk dengan hook kanan pendek di lantai atas yang menjatuhkan Santiago ke lutut. Santiago dari Puerto Rico dengan gagah berani bangkit dan selamat dari serangan lanjutan untuk keluar dari ronde.

“Yang penting bagi saya adalah untuk mengeksekusi putaran demi putaran, dan putaran demi putaran, Saya mengeksekusi lebih dan lebih. Ayahku menyuruhku pergi ke tubuh, kait kanan di lantai atas. Dia terbuka untuk itu,” kata Russel.

Russell tidak menunjukkan tanda-tanda melambat meskipun diperpanjang lebih dari empat ronde untuk pertama kalinya dalam karir profesionalnya. Ketinggian Ibukota, Md. produk mengalahkan Santiago di babak keenam, mendaratkan kombinasi hukuman di seluruh frame. Beberapa saat kemudian, pertarungan dihentikan.

“Sangat penting bagi saya untuk tampil jadi saya tidak hanya dikenal sebagai adik laki-laki Gary Russell,” kata Russel, yang mendarat 146 dari 444 pukulan (32.9%). “Saya berasal dari latar belakang petarung yang luar biasa. Kami sedang membangun sebuah dinasti.

“Seberapa cepat saya ingin kembali ke ring? Jika saya bisa bertarung dengan kartu Deontay Wilder, itu akan sangat bagus.”

Berikut adalah apa yang para pejuang harus mengatakan Kamis:

NORDINE OUBAALI

"Iya nih, we’ve sparred but training is training. When you go into a fight, it’s not the same. Every fight is different and I know on Saturday I will put on a great show with Nonito Donaire because I know he’s a good boxer but I know I’m the best. I trained so hard for this and now I’m ready to fight. I want to show everybody that the best two bantamweights in boxing today are fighting on Saturday.

"Iya nih, he’s had an outstanding career and he has power but I believe I have more power than him. I know I have the power. He’s a good boxer but I’m the world champion and on Saturday I’m going to show the world who is the best. I know I am the best. I respect Nonito. He’s had a good career but I’m the best in the division.

“The difference in the fight is going to be I want to win more. I want to continue to make history and stay as the world champion in this division. I know that it’s my time. I want this more than he does.

“If I’m victorious, why not have my next fight be for the unification? I want to make history every time and this is my motivation. I’m here because I love boxing and I want to face the best boxers every time. I’m facing Nonito Donaire and that’s great for my career. I just like to fight and this is my life.”

NONITO DONAIRE

“It would be great to win the title at 38 years old and become the oldest champion at 118 pon, but let’s keep it going. Let’s make it 40. Let’s make it 42. There ain’t no stopping me. Mental, I’m very grateful but at the same time I’m just very ready.

“I’m always healthy and the reason why I can compete with anybody is because I keep myself healthy and I work hard. There’s nothing less than 100 percent every time I’m in that gym.

“I’m very hard-headed so I don’t always do what people tell me to do. People can say that it’s their time. But I also have my time and I’m always going to be the one who concedes their time or makes that decision. It’s still my time.

“It’s going to be a great fight. Oubaali is the champion for a reason. He’s been through it in terms of the amateurs and making it here. So we’re not underestimating any of that. But I’ve fought in this venue many times and I always make magical fights in the first place. It’s always going to be magical with me. I’m a unicorn.

“The difference in this fight is going to be my hunger. He’s younger than me but I have the hunger. We both have an objective and that’s what’s going to make this a great fight.

“I want to fight the best out there. I want the rematch with Naoya Inoue and I want to get all the belts. The only thing I haven’t accomplished in boxing is becoming undisputed champion. I’ve done everything else. Fighter of the Year. Knockout of the Year. Multiple championships. Four-division champion. You name it. That’s my main goal. Get the belt and put them all together.

“Bantamweight is my real weight. I’ve always fought in the heavier division because of the excitement, the challenge and the lucrative offer or the names at that time. Saat Ini, I’m here where I belong and this is where I’m really strong.

“The layoff will not be a factor at all. The time off helped me out. Just being out of the ring helped my body recover. And the eagerness and the hunger is there more than ever. It was a blessing for me.”

SUBRIEL MATIAS

“I will be his toughest test without question and come Saturday night, everybody will find out why I’m saying that.

“I believe him when he says that he has the tools to get a stoppage on Saturday. But it’s not just a matter of saying, on Saturday night he has to prove it. If it’s going to come out of your mouth, then you have to prove it.

“We’re both knockout artists and with what we’re looking at, this fight should not finish by a decision.

“I don’t have much to say about that fight against Petros Ananyan. Those that saw me lose, I lost. There’s nothing I can say about it. But those that know boxing know that I’ve been progressing and improving and you all will see that on Saturday.”

BATYR JUKEMBAYEV

“I had a great training camp. I am ready for Saturday night. I know that he’s a good fighter but I promise that I will be ready.

“We will see Saturday night whether it’s going to end in a knockout. I’ll show you what I’m made of and you will all see.”

GARY ANTUANNE RUSSELL

“I’m in the hurt business. He’s a slugger. If he wants to come in there and slug with me, he will feel my power. He will see how intelligent I am. Not just mentally, but physically with my hands. Seperti saya katakan, I’m in the hurt business. I come to hurt.

“Pardon my lack of Spanish, but what you are going to see is, ‘la violencia.’ He’s going to bring his pressure. He’s going to bring punches in bunches and I believe that’s all he can bring. If he’s been training and trying to perfect himself for my style of fighting, that’s fine. You’re not supposed to come in here one-dimensional. A diamond shines from all sides.

“The only thing I can say is this venue is going to promote blood, sweat and tears and the desire of people to be great. I’m definitely one of them. I’ve been in the gym giving my blood, my sweat and my tears and I’m bringing all of that to this venue come Saturday night.

“I definitely want to stay more active. That’s always been my plan. The pandemic slowed things down. Fans always tell me they want to see me get back in there…I just tell them, me too. The fighters aren’t the ones pulling all of the strings. Should I be more active? Tentu saja. I want to be more active.

“I want to show that I’m the cream of the crop. I’m a superstar. The light hasn’t been shining on me because there’s a lot of other things going on. Sampai saat itu, you’re going to have to wait and see. Come Saturday, it will be a great show. There will be some sparks and fireworks. I have an opponent that’s not willing to lay down. If he’s not willing to, I must make him lay down.”

JOVANIE SANTIAGO

“I know that he’s a good fighter. An Olympian. He’s young and he’s going to come fight. I’m going to come to fight too, so if the fight finishes early, then it finishes early.

“I just have to work round-by-round, throw punches and win one round at a time. After I beat Russell, everybody is going to be on my side.

“This is my weight. This is where I’m most comfortable. I’ve always been a 140-pounder and Saturday that’s what I’m going to demonstrate.

“This time, I’m fighting at my actual weight. Saya merasa kuat. I’m coming to work round-by-round and on Saturday everybody will see what I’m all about.”

LAS VEGAS(Bulan Januari 16, 2019) – Satu-satunya juara dunia delapan divisi tinjuManny Pacquiaoand former four-division world championAdrien “The Problem” Broner went face-to-face Wednesday in Las Vegas at the final press conference before they battle for Pacquiao’s World Boxing Association Welterweight World Title Saturday, Bulan Januari 19 in the main event of a SHOWTIME PPV®event from the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

Pacquiao will be ending his two-year hiatus from a U.S. boxing ring to defend his title against the brash must-see attraction Broner.

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Wednesday in Las Vegas:

Manny Pacquiao

I feel so blessed and happy because of the excitement around this fight. It’s come from the fans here in the U.S. and media all over the world. I want to go out there and make all the people happy.

The knockout in my last fight felt good. It felt like my younger days against Ricky Hatton, Miguel Cotto dan lain-lain. That fight was a big challenge for me to recover from the fight against Jeff Horn. People said that my career was done. But I never got discouraged, I just worked hard and made the knockout against Lucas Matthysse happen.

These days I don’t only train my body, but also my mind. I’m a Senator, so my mind is very busy. I also play chess regularly and read books to keep my mind sharp.

People writing me off after the Jeff Horn fight was good for me. I’m not mad at anyone who thought that. It just became a challenge and a test to me of whether or not I could still show my best.

Being back here at MGM Grand makes me so happy. It’s an honor to be in this position. I remember my first fight here in the U.S. was at MGM Grand. I will never forget that moment and now I get to come back here and do it again.

I know he is going to counter me but we’re ready for that. What happened in the Juan Manuel Marquez fight will not happen again. It was a mistake and I learned that mistake. We’ve worked on that in this training camp. I am prepared for Broner’s style.

This is a challenge because it is my first fight as a 40-year-old. I have something to prove to everyone about what that means. Age is just a number. What matters is how you prepare and that you’re working hard.

I don’t need to dislike my opponent to want a knockout. I’m just doing my job in the ring. Jika sistem gugur datang, datang. We’re hoping to have that opportunity Saturday. I have to pressure him to make him open up. Wherever he goes, I’ll be there.

I’ve always stayed disciplined throughout my years in boxing. I’m always making sure everything is in order and on point during my workouts. That plus cross-training with activities like basketball has helped me stay in this position all these years.

Adrien Broner

I’m not up here to talk a lot of trash. I’ve put in the work. Ini melawan waktu. After I win, everything is going to be different.

People are talking a lot about Pacquiao fighting Floyd Mayweather again, but I’m pretty sure Floyd is retired. I feel like people are trying to throw me to the wolves and overlook me.

He doesn’t remind me of any past opponents just like I’m not going to remind him of anyone he’s fought. He’s never fought anyone like me. Every fighter has similarities, but truly every fighter is different. If I remind him of Floyd Mayweather, I hope his arm doesn’t hurt after this one.

Look at my last five fights. I’ve fought world champion after world champion. I don’t duck any fights. I don’t care how many weight classes he’s won titles in.

I’m not in awe of any fighter, especially Manny Pacquiao. I hope he’s in awe of me. I’m a one of a kind fighter too. I’ve made history in this sport.

I just have to go out and win this fight, then everything is going to start going my way. Sabtu malam, Saya akan menang. This is a defining moment in my career and it’s going to be one of the biggest nights of my life.

Pacquiao hasn’t fought me so I’m not worried about what he says about me right now. He’s going to have a different outlook after he fights me Saturday night.

I’m going to turn Las Vegas into a big block party after I win on Saturday night. It’s going to change my career.

Manny Pacquiao has done a lot for the sport. I’m going to beat him up and have a drink with him afterward. I grew up in boxing and I know what’s going on. It’s a business, but don’t get it twisted, I’m going to dominate and win.

This is going to be a hell of a fight. I’ve trained so hard and I want everyone to know that I play around a lot, but when that bell rings, Aku akan siap. I didn’t come here to lose or lay down. I came here to get this victory. Real talk.

BUBOY FERNANDEZ, Pacquiao’s Co-Trainer

I’m very thankful to this great team that we have that has prepared Manny for this challenge. I know that we worked very hard for this. I cannot fly without wings, but I can bring the belt back to the Philippines.

Manny has trained hard and we expect a good fight. This is the hardest I’ve seen him train and it will be seen in the ring Saturday night

Freddie Roach, Pacquiao’s Co-Trainer

We’ve trained really hard for this fight. Manny is looking really good and is in tremendous shape. I’m sure Adrien is also because they’re both great fighters. I wish both men luck and may the best man win.

KEVIN CUNNINGHAM, Broner’s Co-Trainer

We’ve had a tremendous training camp. Adrien is ready to go. Everyone who knows me, knows that all I have in this world in my word, and I don’t break it for nobody. I’m giving you my word that Adrien will put on a spectacular performance on Saturday night.

I’m guaranteeing that Adrien will send Manny back to the Senate, beltless, without the WBA title. I guarantee it.

MIKE STAFFORD, Broner’s Co-Trainer

Adrien came to me when he was 55 pounds and seven-years-old. He was an underdog then and he came back day after day. People thought he was a bad kid, but I told people that I saw something in him.

Freddie Roach didn’t know who Adrien was years ago when we were getting ready to work with the Olympic team together. But he got to know Adrien, and on Saturday night, Manny is going to know him too. That’s for sure.

JOE RAMOS, COO of Manny Pacquiao Promotions

We are honored, humbled and proud to be a part of this amazing event. This will be Manny’s 20th fight in Las Vegas and we’ve been treated amazingly throughout the entire promotion. I’m thankful to all of Team Pacquiao for the work they do and helping make everything run smoothly.

We all know that Adrien is ready and we expect nothing but the best from him and his team on Saturday night.

MGM Grand is known for the lion, and Lenny the Lion is right there when you enter the building. Pada Sabtu malam, Manny will show his heart of a lion for fans all over the world and prove once again that he’s the king of the jungle.

LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO Mayweather Promotions

About three and a half years ago I sat here opposite this great legend in Manny Pacquiao. I’ve studied this man for many years and today he’s still one of the best welterweights in the world. He still has tremendous explosiveness and power, but more importantly the experience to beat any welterweight in the world.

Pacquiao has been doing this for so many years that we forget how truly great this man is. He’s in a very comfortable position right now. He’s super motivated and thats what is going to make this a great fight on Saturday night.

Coming into this fight we all know that there have been rumblings about what Adrien needs to do to win this fight. But what I’ve witnessed firsthand this entire promotion, is that this man has dedicated himself 100 persen. He’s done everything his coaches have asked of him and he’s exceeded those expectations.

Adrien Broner is ready, fokus, and he’s put in the work. He’s put himself in the best situation to be successful on Saturday night. I expect nothing less than a great virtuoso performance. He didn’t cut one corner this training camp. He wants to prove to everyone, that everything people have said about him can be thrown out the window. He’s coming to show the entire world what he’s all about.

RAVONE Littlejohn, CEO of About Billions Promotions

Adrien trained really hard for this fight. I’d like to thank Kevin Cunningham and Mike Stafford, they put together a great game plan. Adrien will be ready.

There’s been a lot of talk from Pacquiao’s side about getting a knockout, but you’re the one getting knocked out. You’ve been knocked out, we haven’t.

This our first time on this stage and in this position and it’s been very enjoyable. Adrien and I have put a lot into this over the last 10-15 tahun. We’re pulling for our guy 100 percent.

STEPHEN Espinoza, Presiden Olahraga & Pemrograman acara, Showtime Networks Inc.

I’m not going to come up here and tell you all anything you don’t already know about Manny Pacquiao or Adrien Broner. These are two guys who have operated at the highest level of boxing for years. In Manny’s case, literally decades. But I will remind you of some things.

Manny Pacquiao is a Hall of Famer, tidak ada pertanyaan tentang hal itu. He’s a boxing legend who’s generous, humble and soft-spoken outside of the ring. But most of all, he takes tough fights. Yang terakhir 20 opponents Pacquiao has had have been current, future or former world champions.

Adrien Broner has faced nine world champions in 37 career fights. He’s obviously demonstrated himself as being an elite fighter. He’s flashy, flamboyant, sometimes outrageous, but he’s always unapologetically himself.

On Saturday night, everything changes. Pacquiao is no longer soft-spoken and Broner is no longer fun-loving and outgoing. They transform themselves into two of the most athletically gifted and ferocious warriors in our sport. Above all these two guys have heart, which is the rarest thing in this sport.

Between the two of them, they’ve won titles in 12 divisi berat badan. That’s the third most of all-time, trailing just Mayweather vs. Pacquiao and Pacquiao vs. De La Hoya.

We know this is an elite fight and these fighters are in elite company. But on Saturday night, none of that matters. It’s not a contest of who has the best resume. This is a high level contest with high stakes between two of the most talented and athletically gifted fighters in the sport today. A win in this fight catapults each of these men to bigger things. It doesn’t get any more significant than that.

RICHARD STORM, President of Entertainment and Sports for MGM Resorts International

I’d like to welcome back Manny Pacquiao and Adrien Broner, two of the sport’s best fighters, back to Las Vegas and MGM Grand. Fans are always excited to watch these two fighters compete in the ring and we’re confident that Saturday’s event will kick off another exciting year of sports and entertainment programming for MGM Resorts.

I’m thankful to all of the people who have helped make this fight happen here in Las Vegas. We look forward to seeing everyone at the MGM Grand Garden Arena Saturday night for this sensational event.

LAS VEGAS(Bulan Januari 15, 2019) – With fight week underway in Las Vegas, former four-division world championAdrien “Masalah” Bronerhosted a media workout Monday before he battlesManny Pacquiaofor the World Boxing Association Welterweight World Title Saturday, Bulan Januari 19 in the main event of a SHOWTIME PPV®event from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Broner, along with trainerKevin Cunningham, have been at Barry’s Boxing in Las Vegas finishing up training camp after spending most of camp in West Palm Beach, Florida preparing to face boxing’s only eight-division world champion in Pacquiao. Here is what they had to say Monday at Barry’s Boxing:

Adrien Broner

Every fighter is different, but I know if I touch him flush, I’ll put him out. It’s no secret, he’s been to sleep before.

I’m in shape and ready to go. We had a tremendous training camp. I could have made weight weeks ago. We’re prepared to go out and execute.

I’ve been here before, and even though I haven’t been in a fight of exactly this magnitude, I’m just treating it like any other fight. He’s another opponent.

A lot of people are saying that Pacquiao’s age will be a factor, but I’m not looking at it like that. You see guys like Floyd Mayweather who stay undefeated at an older age. I’m just focused on being me. As long as I do what I have to do, Saya akan menang.

We’re ready for whatever this fight is going to end up being. It could definitely be a war. I’ve always been an underdog. I came from the trenches and I’m bringing that mentality into the ring.

I can take over boxing with a win over Pacquiao. There are a lot of great fighters in this sport, but they just don’t bring what I bring to the table. With a win like this, it would put me right where I was always meant to be.

I’ve always wanted to fight the big names like this and I knew that I just had to keep working hard and the time would come.

Once that bell rings, I’ll make my adjustments and go ahead and get my victory. I don’t have anything I want to go out and prove. It’s just about winning. That will say everything.

KEVIN CUNNINGHAM, Broner ini Trainer

Preparation has been great. Camp telah luar biasa. Adrien is ready to go and extremely focused for this fight. He came into camp that way and it’s stayed that way.

We added some things this training camp, because we know he’s fighting a legendary fighter. This is one that he has to have and he realizes it. I expect a spectacular performance.

I think on Saturday night that Adrien is going to be that guy that everyone expected him to be from day one. It will open a lot of eyes. I believe that we put the work in. I can’t see Adrien coming out of there without a victory.

The key to victory is for Adrien to just be himself. He has to do what he does best with no hesitation. He’s going to throw the right punches at the right time.

Pacquiao still throws combinations but they don’t come in as fast or as sharp as they used to. He can throw as many punches as he wants to throw, but if they’re not landing, it doesn’t mean anything.

I think Adrien is the quicker fighter. Quickness offsets speed, all day, every day. It’s all about being quick enough to time the guy with your hand speed. It’s different than just throwing a bunch of fast punches.

 LAS VEGAS(Bulan Januari 10, 2019) – Former two-division world championBadou Jack hosted a media workout at Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas Thursday as he prepares to take on unbeaten top contenderMarcus Browne for the WBA Interim Light Heavyweight Title Saturday, Bulan Januari 19 on the Pacquiao vs. Broner SHOWTIME PPV® event from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas and presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

Tickets for the event, which is promoted by MP Promotions, Mayweather Promotions and TGB Promotions in association with About Billions Promotions, are on sale now and start at $100, not including applicable service charges, and can be purchased online through AXS.com, charge by phone at 866-740-7711 or in person at any MGM Resorts International box office.

A resident of Las Vegas, Jack is preparing to fight in his adopted home city for the 11thtime as a pro on January 19. He will be making his third appearance on SHOWTIME PPV, having won a light heavyweight crown against Nathan Cleverly in August 2017 on the Mayweather vs. McGregor event.

Here is what Jack, his trainer Lou Del Valle and Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe had to say Thursday:

JACK Badou

I feel young and like I’m still improving. I take care of my body every day. Age won’t be a problem for me, it’ll be an advantage.

I’m a confident fighter. I don’t need to talk and brag about everything. I’m just comfortable; dalam dan di luar ring.

I’m battle-tested. I’ve been in there in tough fights. He hasn’t been tested like that, so we’ll have to see what he’s capable of when the pressure is on.

Marcus Browne is an athletic and skilled fighter. But it’s a little different to fight on the prospect and contender level versus on this world class level.

One of my biggest strengths in the ring is my ability to adjust. Pelatih saya, Lou Del Valle, has really helped in that regard. He’s been in there as a world champion like me on the big stage. He knows so much about boxing.

This is nothing new to me. I’ve been on a lot of big cards, so this is a regular day on the job. It’s exciting as always and I can’t wait to put on a good show.

I feel like it’s my duty to give back outside of the ring. With this platform that I have, why wouldn’t I? We should use this platform for something deeper than boxing.

On the Pacquiao vs. Broner SHOWTIME PPV main event:

It’s a really good fight. Pacquiao looked pretty good in his last fight, but Broner is very talented. Apa pun bisa terjadi di tinju, especially because Broner has a good chin and can fight. He just has to stay focused.

LOU DEL VALLE, Jack’s Trainer

Camp has been amazing. Every camp has just been better and better. He has improved on his weaknesses each time we work together. It’s incredible that a guy who’s 35-years-old can keep performing the way he is and still be getting better.

We know that we have to be careful because Marcus is a good fighter. Everyone we fight at this level is quality. We’re only fighting champions and guys with the top pedigree. The better the fighter, the better we get.

I don’t think that Marcus Browne wants to go the distance with Badou Jack. If you notice in previous fights, guys who fight Badou are not the same after. He takes a lot out of them and I think it’s going to happen again. Marcus is going to go for the early knockout, tapi kami siap.

The experience gap is a big difference. I had only fought one 10-rounder when I first fought for the title, but I still thought that I could beat him. The experience that Virgil Hill had over me was really difficult to overcome and I think you’ll see something similar play out in this fight.

LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO Mayweather Promotions

I think that this is going to be a very competitive fight. You have two guys in this fight that are very hungry. There are a lot of options in the light heavyweight division, and it’s all about timing. This fight gives both guys a chance to prove that they want to be the best and make a great statement.

This fight has a very good chance of stealing the show. I like the fact that Marcus is very confident. If you’re in a big fight, you have to be. Badou is even-keeled, and he comes with his workman-like approach to every fight.

Experience is everything in big fights. It’s a big deal when you’re under those lights. Going the distance with top guys, and knowing how to break guys down, it all plays a big role in fights like this.

Mayweather Promotions’ Badou Jack has made an exemplary statement for his career inside and outside of the ring and is focused on further strengthening his resume, while Marcus Browne is looking to showcase his talent on boxing’s biggest stage.

Dongkrak (22-1-3, 13 Biaya) has fought twice at light heavyweight since relinquishing his super middleweight world title to campaign at 175 pon. The 35-year-old, who was born in Stockholm, Swedia, represented his father’s Gambia in the 2008 Olympics and now lives in Las Vegas. Jack won the super middleweight world title with a majority decision against Anthony Dirrell in 2015 and successfully defended the title three times before he relinquished the belt following a hard-fought majority draw against James DeGale in one 2017’s best fights. In his first bout at 175 pon, Jack stopped Nathan Cleverly to pick up the WBA light heavyweight title before fighting to a majority draw against Adonis Stevenson in his last fight on May 19.

I’m looking forward to getting back onto another big stage to perform for my fans across the globe and prove I am one of the best fighters in the world,” said Jack. “I plan to show off my skills with a dominating performance on January 19. I always want to fight the best, and he’s the best that’s available right now. I’m always 100 percent ready and I’m going into this fight stronger, faster and with more experience than ever before.

The 28-year-old Browne (22-0, 16 Biaya) will be taking a step up to face an elite opponent when he battles Jack. Seorang anggota 2012 DIRI KITA. Olympic boxing team, Browne moved up the contender ladder in the 175-pound division with brute force and power, scoring three straight knockout victories against Thomas Williams, Jr., Sean Monaghan and Francy Ntetu. Browne, who was born and raised in Staten Island, N.Y., scored a unanimous decision victory over Lenin Castillo in his last fight on August 4.

This is really an honor and a privilege to have an opportunity to showcase my talents on a big time pay-per-view card featuring Manny Pacquiao and Adrien Broner,” Browne said. “Badou Jack is a championship-caliber fighter and one of the toughest guys you can fight in the light heavyweight division. I’m ready for the step up in competition and focused on being a household name in the sport sooner rather than later.

Warren (16-2, 4 Biaya) is looking to return to the world championship ranks with a victory over Oubaali. The 31-year-old became the first three-time Olympic boxer from the U.S. when he qualified for consecutive Olympic teams in 2004, 2008 dan 2012. His Olympic run came to an end against Oubaali when he lost a narrow 19-18 decision in the first round of the 2012 London Games. A southpaw from Cincinnati, Ohio, Warren won the WBA Bantamweight World Championship with a majority decision over Juan Carlos Payano in 2016 and lost the title the next year to Zhanat Zhakiyanov by split-decision.

This fight means everything for me and it’s about to be the biggest moment of my career,” Warren said. “Not only am I fighting for the WBC belt, but it’s on pay-per-view. When I first won the title it was like winning the gold medal at the Olympics. After I lost the title, it made me much hungrier and I want to get it back even more. I fought this guy in the Olympics, so I’m fighting for revenge. This isn’t the Olympics. This is 12 rounds and I don’t think he’s fought anybody like me. I have no choice but to put it all on the line on January 19.

The 32-year-old Oubaali (14-0, 11 Biaya), an unbeaten southpaw from Lens, Pas-de-Calais, Perancis, has knocked out his last five opponents. His most recent KO of Luis Melendez on April 17 moved Oubaali up the ranks to position him for a world title shot. Oubaali, who is the sixth of 18 children born in France to parents who are from Morocco, twice represented France at the Olympics, qualifying in 2008 dan 2012 when he defeated Warren.

Many people are waiting for this fight because it’s the second time we meet,” said Oubaali.I beat Rau’shee Warren at the 2012 London Games in a great battle. In the meantime, Rau’shee captured a world championship and lost it. Sekarang juga, I’m the WBC No. 1 ranked bantamweight fighter in the world. It will be a great fight in Las Vegas on January 19 and I intend to beat Rau’shee again to become the new WBC world champion.

The 25-year-old Tepora (22-0, 17 Biaya) has steadily risen up the ranks since turning pro in 2012 and most recently captured the WBA interim featherweight crown with a ninth-round stoppage of Edivaldo Ortega in July. Representing Cebu City, Pilipina, Tepora enters his U.S. debut on January 19 with stoppage wins in 11 dari terakhirnya 12 kontes.

It has always been a dream to fight in the United States,” said Tepora. “I never dreamed that my first fight in the U.S. would be on a card with Senator Manny Pacquiao vs. Adrien Broner. I look forward to a tremendous fight on January 19 and defending my title versus former world champion Hugo Ruiz. As you all know the best rivalry in boxing is Filipino vs. Meksiko. It’s going to be a great fight.

Fighting out of Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Meksiko, Ruiz (38-4, 33 Biaya) will make his featherweight debut on January 19 after picking up two victories in 2018. The 30-year-old won a super bantamweight world title with a first round stoppage of Julio Ceja in 2016, avenging his previous loss to Ceja in one of 2015’s most exciting fights. He now seeks to position himself for a world title at 126 pounds with a victory against Tepora.

I expect it to be a good fight because Tepora is undefeated and a good Filipino champion,” said Ruiz. “But I’m ready. I don’t think he can handle my power. Aku akan mengetuk dia keluar. I want to do my best to win the title. I’ve been watching videos of him and I’ve been training hard. I’m really focused on how to beat him. I’m still young, but I’ve got the experience to handle him in this fight.
