Here is what Barrios had to say from training camp:
On fighting in his first main event on FS1:
Fighting in the main event on FS1, on national television, is going to be an incredible blessing. I know it’ll be a tremendous boost to my career. I want to set the pace from the opening bell, and give the fans a night to remember. These are the type of fights I’ve always dreamed of.
On his recent training camp with Virgil Hunter in the Bay Area:
Training with Virgil Hunter has been great. This will be my third fight with him as the lead in my corner. We are working tremendously well as a team and I’m happy where my career is at. We got a lot of good sparring in, with a lot of different looks. I feel my punches are sharp and my timing is on point. I’m going to shine in this fight.
On his matchup with Nelson Lara
I really don’t know much about Nelson Lara, except for the fact that he’s coming off a couple of wins. I’m sure his confidence is high, so I’m expecting a tough fight. אויך, I know he’s fought at lightweight or super-lightweight for most of his career, so he’s got more experience fighting at this weight. One thing for sure isI’ll be ready for anything he brings to the ring.
On moving up two weight classes
It’s hard to believe, but I started off my career at super-bantamweight while standing six feet plus. It was getting to make those smaller weights. I was killing myself to make super featherweight, so my team and I felt it was best to skip lightweight, and move to super-lightweight. It’s a big jump, but I feel real strong at this weight. This is where I want to make my run toward a world title, at super lightweight. You’ll see a stronger Mario Barrios.
On fighting in Mississippi
I actually fought out here early in my career but at a different venue. The fans are great and they get loud. A lively crowd is always fun to fight in front of. I plan on giving the Mississippi fans a great night of boxing.

This show epitomizes what the Premier Boxing Champions series on FS1 and FOX Deportes is all about – יונג, hungry boxers making the climb to the top,” said Tom Brown, פּרעזידענט פון טגב פּראָמאָטיאָנס. “We’ve watched Mario Barrios grow up in the ring. His fight against tough veteran Nelson Lara represents another big step in his progression. Oscar Molina is shifting from 154 pounds to 147 pounds and will face one of the toughest challenges of his career when he takes on rugged Levan Ghvamichava. This is a fan-friendly card that promises plenty of excitement.
Standing more than six feet tall, the 21-year-old Barrios won his first 12-round fight last July when he defeated Devis Boschiero after winning seven times in a busy 2015 קאַמפּיין. The San-Antonio native followed up that victory with stoppage wins over Claudio Rosendo Tapia last December and Yardley Suarez in March to run his record to a perfect 18 wins in his first 18 פּראָ סטאַרץ.
Originally from Nicaragua but now fighting out of Costa Rica, Lara was unbeaten in 17 פון זיין ערשטער 18 pro fights after turning pro in 2004. Lara enters this bout having won his last two contests by stoppage including his most recent triumph in March. Lara will fight in the U.S. for the third time as a pro in a career that has seen him enter the ring in six different countries.
מאָלינאַ, פון נאָרוואַלק, קאַליף., just east of Los Angeles, איז אַ 2012 Mexican Olympian who tore through his opposition after turning professional in 2013, registering knockouts in 10 פון זיין 14 פייץ. The 27-year-old fought 10-round draw with Dominque Dolton last year before losing an exciting contest against 154-pound world champion Jarrett Hurd. Now fighting at 147-pounds, Molina will look to climb the ranks in his new division.
Ghvamichava returns to the ring in Tunica after a dropping a split decision to top contender Yordenis Ugas in February. Priot to that, the 31-year-old had delivered a sensational knockout of Breidis Prescott last July. Trained by Virgil Hunter in California, Ghvamichava is originally from Poti, דזשאָרדזשאַ. He carried a five-fight winning streak from 2014 צו 2015 that included wins over previously unbeaten fighters Chris Singleton and Jonathan Garcia plus veterans Cosme Rivera and Sergio Reyes.

ברוקלין (יוני 26, 2016) – Prizefighting returned to CBS אויף שבת with a Fight of the Year candidate as undefeated welterweight world champion קיט טערמאַן edged former world champion שאָן פּאָרטער in a close but unanimous decision scored 115-113 by all three ringside judges.

 

די 12,718 fans in attendance at Barclays Center in Brooklyn and the viewers across the U.S. watching the first primetime boxing event on CBS since Muhammed Ali-Leon Spinks in 1978 were treated to a slugfest between two of the brightest stars in boxing’s glamour division.

 

טערמאַן (27-0, 22 קאָס) and Porter (26-2-1, 16 קאָס) combined to throw over 1200 punches in the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on CBS event, presented by Premier Boxing Champions. The marquee showdown was a story of accuracy vs. activity, as Thurman landed 50 פּראָצענט פון זיין מאַכט שאַץ, compared to 38 percent for Porter, און 44 percent of his total punches compared to just 36 percent for the challenger. While Thurman landed at a higher percentage, Porter was the busier fighter, throwing over 100 more punches across 12 ראָונדס.

 

“One Time” and “Showtime” delivered as advertised, with the powerful sharpshooter buckling Porter multiple times, while the swarming and smothering Porter barreled forward to bully Thurman into the ropes. And while there were no knockdowns, the back-and-forth blockbuster never lacked action and culminated in a standing ovation in the second-highest attended boxing event in Barclays Center history.

 

I want to thank Shawn Porter for a tremendous fight. He’s a great warrior,” said Thurman. “Defense is the key to victory. He smothers his punches a lot and makes it difficult for the judges to score. I was able to rock him with clear, effective blows and I believe that was the difference today.

 

“I would give him a rematch. It was great fight. He was a great opponent. Everyone was saying would he be my toughest opponent to date. I wasn’t able to drop him but I did buckle him a few times.”

The former world champion Porter, a perennial underdog but consummate gentleman, didn’t complain about being on the losing end of his second close decision in a title bout.

 

“We worked hard, Keith is a great champion,” Porter said. “My dad says to keep your head up. I think I won the fight, but I’m satisfied because the competitor came out הייַנט בייַ נאַכט.

 

We need that rematch. I know the fans want that rematch. If he gives me another chance, I’m going to work hard in the ring and leave with his title.

 

The opening bout of the CBS telecast featured a matchup of undefeated super welterweights as דזשאַררעטט כערד graduated from prospect to legitimate contender in the stacked 154-pound class with a dominating 10טה round TKO over אָסקאַר מאַלינאַ.

 

הורד (18-0, 12 קאָס) got to work early, flooring Molina for the first time in his career in the opening round with a powerful counter right uppercut. The bigger and taller Hurd was the more active fighter from the outset, dismantling the previously unbeaten Mexican Olympian with a supremely effective inside game. Hurd threw nearly 750 punches over 10 ראָונדס, קאַמפּערד צו נאָר 376 for Molina, קאַנעקטינג אויף 220 power shots at a nearly 40 percent clip.

 

Hurd put a stamp on his performance in the final round, closing the show by out landing Molina 33-7 in the final round. With Molina taking a brutal beating and seemingly defenseless in the final minute of the final round, Ricky Gonzalez stepped in to halt the contest at 2:02.

 

This is definitely a big win for my career,” Hurd said. “He was taking a lot of shots, but he knew how to survive. It was a big uppercut that knocked him down in round one. People know from my last fight that I have a great right uppercut. He was hurt a couple of times. I don’t think it was a bad stoppage. Molina is a very tough guy who just kept coming through.

 

This fight here puts me up with the top contenders in the division. I felt like I could have gone three or four more rounds. I was getting stronger as the fight went on. We’re going right back to the gym so we can get in there again.

 

מאָלינאַ (13-1-1, 10 קאָס) protested, but barring a stunning knockout he was just seconds away from suffering the first loss of his career via a unanimous decision.

 

I felt like Hurd was throwing a lot of punches in the tenth round but they weren’t really hurting me,” Molina said. “He was staying busy but he was never really hurting me.

 

“I went low and I had my head down and he caught me with that uppercut in the first round. He got me with a shot I wasn’t expecting but it was definitely a flash knockdown. I wasn’t hurt.

 

I was supposed to use my footwork a lot more but I ended up smothering my shots. He had an awkward defense with a lot of bending down and I couldn’t get into a rhythm.

 

This was a big opportunity for me and I felt like I fought a good fight. I’m going to come back stronger. We’re going to work on a lot of things and get back in there.

 

SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on CBS, presented by Premier Boxing Champions, was promoted by DiBella Entertainment.

 

Earlier in the evening on SHOWTIME, undefeated heavyweight sensation Anthony Joshua successfully defended his IBF Heavyweight World Championship for the first time with a seventh round knockout of previously unbeaten American Dominic Breazeale at The O2 in London. ווידעא: http://s.sho.com/28VGgsa

 

Below are quotes from Joshua after שבת ס win on SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL:

 

Many thought that Dominic Breazeale wouldn’t be able to stand up to your power and speed, but were you grateful for the opportunity to work a little bit more of your boxing skills?

“Well, it’s hard because you can see they’re hurt with every shotwell not every shotbut when you start catching them flush, they can feel the shots with these ten ounce gloves on. אַזוי, it’s just a matter of time, but in the process I didn’t want to be receiving any haymakers on the way back.

 

“It’s been tough I had two weeks off after my last fight, and got straight back in the gym so it was tough. I get a nice little break for once and then I can come back with recharged batteries.

 

We know Deontay Wilder was watching the fight. Have you got a message for him, the WBC Champion?

Unbelievable inspirational person. He was patient, 30-odd fights [און] got his hands on the WBC [belt]. I’m following suit. I’m making my way into the U.S. with SHOWTIME backing me as well. אַזוי, he watched that.

 

He can pick up whatever he wants to pick up from that, but it’s so different when you’re in the ring with each other. So one day we’ll get to experience what each other’s about.

 

Who do you want to fight next?

Well I think it’s gonna have to be the likes of [יוסף] פּאַרקער. I was really looking at Fury… I hope he gets better soon. He hurt his ankle unfortunately, which has postponed it because I was hoping to get that some time in the winter if everything went well July 9th like it didהייַנט בייַ נאַכט, but we’re gonna have to reschedule that and in the meantime, we can look at other opponents like Parker, if he’s vacant, or anyone else that the people want.

 

What do you think that you still need to work on?

“Rest. I need to rest. I’m tired, I’m working hard and as I said, now i can get

קיט טערמאַן
It’s an honor to be on this platform. I’m excited to be back at Barclays Center. My last fight at Barclays Center was the first time I felt the fans give me love and I felt like I made it.
I’m excited to feel the energy in the arena. We’re recovered and we’re ready. We did what we needed to so that we’re ready forשבת נאַכט.
As I think about this fight, these are dreams coming true for me. Sometimes I feel like I’m living a dream. I think about how I was raised by Ben Getty to this moment. Ben used to say that my moment was ‘right around the corner,’ and now it’s here. He was a wise man and he knew what he was talking about.
This is a great fight. This is what the boxing fans want to see. I truly believe you are looking at two of the best welterweights in the world.
I’m here as an entertainer. I’m here for the love of the sport. The fans want to see these kinds of fights. It’s obvious in the welterweight division that we are the two most exciting and devastating fighters in the division.
Everybody kept talking about the sparring video, so I just decided to put it out. Sparring is sparring and fighting is fighting. This fight will be judged and this time I’ll have eight-ounce gloves on.
It’s always been my dream to be the undisputed champion of the world.
I’m looking forward to a great performance. I’m excited to a great challenge from Shawn Porter. There is a burning desire within myself to have a knockout victory. It’s hard to make world-class fighters quit. The fans ultimately want to see that knockout victory.
There are real stakes are on the line דעם שבת נאַכט. Our careers are on the line. My title is on the line. My undefeated record is on the line. It’s a great fight and a great matchup.
I do believe that with each and every fight, you step up, you step up and you step up. אַזוי, thus the stakes are always higher and there are those times where you get a decent fight. But like I said, this is a great fight at a great moment of both athletescareers. We are both in our prime. I’m 27-years-old, Shawn is 28-years-old, we’ve both accomplished many great things and a victory אויף שבת night is just going to be another thing to add to the resume.
This really is the best fight of the best. We’re trying to satisfy the fans and we’re trying to challenge ourselves, push ourselves, and see where we fit in and how great we really are. I’m going to show you שבת night how great Keith “איין צייט” Thurman really is.
Just like Ali said, שבת נאַכט, I’m going to show you how great I am.
שאָן טרעגער
“עס ס דאָ. It’s been long anticipated and it’s here. I have never been more excited to fight in my life. It’s a blessing. Along this journey I’ve been able to learn the basics and excel in the basics and I found myself in a position where I’ve been able to be very successful.
My hometown Cleveland Cavaliers winning the NBA title is definitely a motivation. It motivates me to be a winner. I want to bring this belt back to Ohio.
I’m looking forward to this kind of moment to shine. That’s how you gain notoriety and become bigger. עס ס קיין דרוק, just excitement.
I’m just looking forward to getting in there and getting that energetic feeling. I want to feel the excitement of getting into the ring and all the adrenaline that rushes through.
This is the fight I wanted. I wanted to have fun training for a fight like this. Keith has made it possible. He’s so good it pushes me to be better.
This isn’t the first time and it won’t be the last time that two friends fight. I’m done talking about us being friends because it’s time for us to start punching each other. My plan is to have great defense, avoid getting hit and win the fight.
I didn’t take much time off after the postponement. We tried to train and stay ready through the cancellation. You never know when the phone is going to ring. We just wanted to stay in shape, get better and be ready for anything.
I feel like if Floyd Mayweather comes back, he should fight the winner of this matchup. I believe that will be me.
I’m not going to go in there looking for a knockout and throw my hands wildly. I’m going to keep up the pace that I normally keep up. I’m a great boxer. People consider me a boxer, but I may surprise you.
JARRETT HURD
I’m thankful for this opportunity. This is a great shot for me right now. In my last fight I had an opportunity similar to this. I was a fill-in for television and I did what I was supposed to do.
Success is accomplished when preparation meets opportunity. I know things like this can happen. It doesn’t change anything. We’re going to go out and do what we trained for.
You always get butterflies before getting in the ring but that’s normal. Molina is very experienced and has good hand speed but I know what I can do. We’re ready for this.
I’m happy to be on this stage. This could be the biggest fight of the year and I’m extremely blessed to open it up.
I’m going to go out there and put on another terrific performance. מאָלינאַ, he’s an Olympian and he has a lot of experience. He’s a crafty fighter and we’re going to do what we have to do to get the victory.
We’re ready to do what we’re going to do. עס ס געגאנגען צו זייַן אַ גרויס קאַמף אויף שבת נאַכט.”
אָסקאַר Molina
I’m ready for this. I’m more than ready for this. These type of fights are what gets me up to train.
This guy I’m fighting is young, undefeated and a prospect like myself. I know he’s going to be ready and it’s going to be a tough fight but I’m ready for him.
This is a huge deal for me. I was already excited to be on this huge undercard. When they told me that I was moving up to CBS I knew how big of an opportunity it is for me and my career.
Hurd is a tall and lanky fighter. I saw his last fight and I see that he does well with guys who are flat footed. My boxing skills and my footwork are something he’s never seen before. Frank Galarza was tailor-made for Hurd and I think I’m going to be able to give him different looks.
I’m a boxer-puncher and I can adapt to different styles. I also have power for big knockouts but my boxing skills are most important.
Fighting in the Olympics taught me to adapt to different styles. I have a fan-friendly style and I’m excited to put on a show.
DAN BIRMINGHAM, Thurman’s Trainer
We’re ready for this fight. Keith trains hard every day and we know Shawn and Kenny well. I’ve brought them to my gym and these two guys have gone a lot of rounds together.
I think Keith Thurman is the most gifted guy in boxing. He does everything right. שבת night we’re looking for a great fight and I know in my heart that we will be victorious.
קען טרעגער, טרעגער טאַטע & טראַינער
“עס ס גרויס צו זיין דאָ. It’s great to be on this stage with Shawn. This isn’t something we just started getting ready for, this is something he’s been getting ready for since birth. I always had a mindset to put Shawn in a position to excel in life. He has not disappointed.
I know these guys are going to give it everything they have. It will be 100 percent for as long as it lasts. We’re prepared to take the championship. These are great guys here to the right, אָבער אויף שבת we’re bringing everything to the table.
We’re coming to deliver a great show. Enjoy yourselves אויף שבת נאַכט.”
Lou דיבעללאַ, פרעזידענט פון דיבעללאַ פֿאַרווייַלונג
This is what it’s all about. דאס שבת נאַכט, the best is fighting the best. It’s right here in Brooklyn on CBS. It’s the first fight on CBS in primetime since Muhammad Ali fought over 30 יאר צוריק.
This is a terrific card from top to bottom. There is a tremendous undercard, a great co-feature and a main event that boxing fans have been waiting for a long time.
This is an undercard chock full of talent. You will want to get there early as there are evenly matched bouts all night.
SHOWTIME has highlighted the 154-pound division in recent shows, so it makes sense that there will be another significant matchup in that division on CBS שבת night with Jarrett Hurd and Oscar Molina.
We’re not going to talk about friendship and respect anymore with these two guys, that’s in the past and the future. These guys know their future is dependent on beating up the other guy and a fight of this magnitude makes the stakes even higher.
The best want to fight the best and it starts שבת נאַכט. The winner of this fight wants to be the best in the world. Both men want to be an undisputed welterweight champion.
סטיווען עספּינאָזאַ, Executive וויצע פרעזידענט & אַלגעמיינע מאַנאַגער, שאָוטיים ספורט
יוני 25 is a very special day and night for us at CBS. It begins with the heavyweight world title being contested between Anthony Joshua and Dominic Breazeale and then the return of boxing to primetime CBS for the first time in almost 40 יאָרן.
This was an easy fight to make. Shawn and Keith, neither one hesitated for a second in taking this fight. All credit goes to them for taking this fight. It’s a difficult fight for both on a big stage.
Boxing takes criticism for not making the right fights at the right time. One of the bad habits we have is that we spend time thinking about fights that might get made. But now we have the right fight, at the right time and at the right venue. It’s a disservice to not recognize that what is going אויף שבת is very special and very exciting.
ברעט יאָרמאַרק, CEO of Brooklyn Sports & פאַרווייַלונג
It’s an exciting week at Barclays Center. הייַנט בייַ נאַכט we host the NBA Draft, the weigh-in מאָרגן and our big event שבתנאַכט. The momentum is building for this fight and we are on pace for the biggest crowd for a boxing event since we opened.
We are excited about bringing a great night of fights to Brooklyn. We welcome Keith Thurman and Shawn Porter back to Brooklyn as they have both fought there once before.
It’s become tradition to have both of you fight in our ring and we know how popular you are with our fans and we love to have you back.
This will be the first primetime fight on CBS since the first Muhammad Ali-Leon Spinks fight in 1978 and it’s a big moment for the boxing community for sure. We look forward to hosting everyone אויף שבת נאַכט.”

TOP WELTERWEIGHTS: THURMAN-PORTER WINNER TOO CLOSE TO CALL

דעם שבת, יוני 25, Live in Primetime at 9 פּ.ם. און/6 פּ.ם. PT on CBS
דריקט דאָ For PBC Fighter Prediction Video
נייַ יארק (יוני 22, 2016) – Their peers in the welterweight division – וועלט טשאַמפּיאָנס, former champions, contenders and top prospectscan’t pick a definitive winner between defending WBA 147-pound king קיט “איין צייט” טערמאַן (26-0, 22 קאָס) און פרייַערדיק וועלט מייַסטער “שאָוטיים” שאָן פּאָרטער (26-1-1, 16 קאָס).
The majority of the fighters polledsome of whom are potential opponents down the line for the winnerlean toward Thurman, but most all concede that שבת ס eagerly awaited main event of a SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® on CBS event, presented by Premier Boxing Champions (9 פּ.ם. און/6 פּ.ם. פּט) at Barclays Center is going to be an intense, יקסייטינג, tight fight from start to finish that could go either way.
Here’s how the boxers see Thurman vs. טראָגן”:
דאַני גאַרסיאַ (WBC Welterweight Champion): “I think this is a great matchup. Thurman has the boxing ability and the movement while Shawn Porter is the aggressor and he’s going to bring the heat. To be honest with you it’s a 50-50 קאַמף, but I would give the edge to Keith Thurman by a very close decision.
קעל ברוק (IBF Welterweight Champion):”This is a great fight, one I can’t wait to watch. If Shawn can stick to his boxing I think he can become world champion again on points, but Keith is heavy-handed and he could walk Shawn onto oneit’s really a pick ’em fight for me.
עראַל ספּענסע דזשוניער. (ונדעפעאַטעד וועלטערווייט קאָנטענדער): “I think this is a great fight between young fighters with good skill. Shawn throws a lot of punches while Thurman is a boxer who can punch too. I know Shawn will be aggressive and it should make for a great fight. If Keith can box and keep Shawn Porter on the outside I see Keith Thurman winning. If Shawn stays on the inside and stays in the chest of Keith, I see him winning.
<אַ href="http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&hl=tr&prev=search&rurl=translate.google.com.tr&sl=iw&u=http://fightnewsunlimited.com/tag/andre-berto/?lang=yi&usg=ALkJrhjcU3stOmYZK4Hak8DmFcIXu4-hOg" רעל = "קוויטל"> אַנדריי בערטאָ (Former Welterweight Champion): “Shawn is going to come, but I think Keith will be on his toes and box but also drop hard shots as well when Shawn comes in. Keith can be very versatile in there and has a lot of great skills, while Shawn is more like a bull. Keith will hurt or knock Shawn down but will keep coming all night.
Sammy Vazquez (ונדעפעאַטעד וועלטערווייט קאָנטענדער): “Shawn is a pressure fighter and Thurman used to be a pressure fighter but now he boxes. It’s really hard for me to decide who is going to come out on top. Thurman has good power. It all depends on how Shawn is able to take Thurman’s punches. I think Thurman because of the power but Shawn will bring it for 12 rounds.
ראבערט Guerrero (Former Welterweight Champion): This is a fight the fans are going to love watching. Both Thurman and Porter bring exciting styles to the ring. I think if Porter can keep the fight on the inside he’ll have a better chance to come out victorious. But Keith Thurman is a very smart and powerful fighter and will make the right adjustments. I just think Thurman is going to outbox Porter. I’m picking Thurman to win by decision in a very tough fight.
לויס קאָללאַזאָ (Former Welterweight Champion): “I’m not sure who the favorite is, but I’m going with Porter. I like his style and I think it’s going to be interesting to see how Thurman holds up with the pressure Porter is going to bring.
דעוואָן אלכסנדר (Former Welterweight Champion): “עס ס אַ זייער יקסייטינג קאַמף. Both fighters are come forward type fighters and they swing for the fences when they throw. I don’t know who will come out on top because they have similar styles. Shawn Porter has decent power, but out of the two Keith has the more power. We’ll see. This is boxing.

UNDEFEATED SUPER WELTERWEIGHTS JARRETT HURD AND OSCAR MOLINA TO OPEN CBS PRIMETIME BOXING BROADCAST THIS SATURDAY FROM BARCLAYS CENTER IN BROOKLYN

Matchup Of 154-Pound Rising Stars Replaces Cuellar vs. Mares Fight As Opener Of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on CBS, Presented By
פּרעמיער באָקסינג טשאַמפּיאָנס
דעם שבת, יוני 25, לעבן אין 9 פּ.ם. און/6 פּ.ם. PT on CBS
ברוקלין (יוני 20, 2016) – An intriguing matchup between undefeated super welterweights Jarrett Hurd and Oscar Molina will open דעם שבת ס Primetime CBS broadcast from Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on CBS broadcast, presented by Premier Boxing Champions, airs live at 9 פּ.ם. און/6 פּ.ם. PT and is headlined by a welterweight blockbuster between undefeated champion Keith Thurman and once-beaten former titlist Shawn Porter.
The 10-round showdown between the 25-year-old Hurd (17-0, 11 קאָס) and 26-year-old Molina (13-0-10 קאָס) is a rare matchup between young undefeated prospects in one of boxing’s hottest divisions. The winner graduates to contender status in the stacked 154-pound class, a division featuring Erislandy Lara, Jermall and Jermell Charlo, Demetrius Andrade and Julian Williams.
Hurd vs. Molina represents the toughest professional fight for either man.
The dictionary definition of ‘Swiftis to happen quickly or promptly,” האט הורד. “So just like my ring name, that’s exactly what you’ll see אויף שבת נאַכט. I’m so grateful that this fight was made and that the whole world will be able to see my boxing skills on this highly anticipated card.
I’m excited for this fight and I’m grateful that it’s even bigger now that it’s on CBS,” האט מאַלינאַ. “I’ve seen Hurd fight. I know what he does well and what his weaknesses are and I’ll be looking to capitalize on them. It’s important for me to defeat the top guys and this is someone I have to beat to become a world champion one day. I’m excited about fighting in Brooklyn on the big stage, but my focus will be on my trainer’s game plan and coming out victorious.
הורד, פון אַקקאָקעעק, מד., just south of Washington, ד.ק., has an unblemished record since turning professional in 2012. He is coming off a career-best performance last November with a six-round destruction of previously undefeated Frank Galarza on שאָבאָקס: די ניו גענעראַטיאָן. הורד, who has never been down or cut as a professional, will be facing his third consecutive unbeaten opponent.
מאָלינאַ, פון נאָרוואַלק, קאַליף., just east of Los Angeles, איז אַ 2012 מעקסיקאַן אָלימפּיאַן. He tore through his opposition after turning professional in 2013, registering knockouts in 10 פון זיין 14 פייץ. מאָלינאַ, who has also never been down, is coming off a 10-round draw with fellow unbeaten highly regarded prospect Dominque Dolton last September. He returns to the ring דעם שבת against another undefeated opponent as he looks to make a statement in the 154-pound division.

צוקער Ray לעאָנאַרד & Thomas Hearns, Two Hall of Fame Welterweight Champions, Weigh-In on the Keith Thurman-Shawn Porter 147-Pound Championship Battle at Barclays Center on Saturday, יוני 25 Live on CBS

The winner of Thurman-Porter will immediately move into the
welterweight penthouse.לעאָנאַרד
I know that Porter and Thurman both have the ability to get each other out of there. It’s going to be a matter of who gets to who first.העאַרנס
נייַ יארק (יוני 20, 2016) – צוקער Ray לעאָנאַרד און טאמעס “היטמאַן” העאַרנס might be uniquely qualified to talk about what WBA welterweight champion קיט “איין צייט” טערמאַן און “שאָוטיים” שאָן פּאָרטער are thinking and feeling heading into their battle that pits two men against each other who are in their primes in a highly charged battle for supremacy in the talent-laden welterweight division.
The highly anticipated showdown headlines שאָוטיים טשאַמפּיאָנשיפּ באָקסינג® אויף קבס presented by פּרעמיער באָקסינג טשאַמפּיאָנס (פּבק) with televised coverage starting at 9 פּ.ם. און/6 פּ.ם. פּט.
Leonard had a record of 30-1 מיט 21 KOs and held the WBC welterweight title when he took on Hearns, וואס איז געווען 32-0 מיט 30 KOs and held the WBA title, in a 15-round title unification match in Las Vegas on September 16, 1981. The match was billed asThe Showdownand had a worldwide television audience of 300 מיליאָן.
The fight was a pitched back-and-forth battle, but Hearns appeared to be in control having won rounds nine through 12 אויף אַלע דרייַ משפט’ סקאָרעקאַרדס. It was between rounds 12 און 13 that Leonard’s trainer, the late Angelo Dundee, famously screamed at Leonard: “You’re blowing it now, son! You’re blowing it!”
לעאָנאַרד, with his left eye badly swollen, turned the tide in the 14טה round by staggering Hearns with an overhand right and then pinning Hearns on the ropes and unleashing a barrage of punches, which prompted referee Davey Pearl to stop the fight, giving Leonard the victory and making him the undisputed welterweight champion and king of the division. At the time of the stoppage Hearns was leading on all three scorecards – 124-122, 125-122 און 125-121.
It was the toughest fight of my life. It took every ounce of will and strength to beat Tommy Hearns. I couldn’t have taken that many of those in my career,” Leonard said. “The Tommy Hearns fight was the one that propelled me to the penthouse.
Leonard felt like the victory over Hearns launched him into superstardom. He believes the same thing awaits the winner of Thurman-Porter.
Hearns on the fight: “I wanted to show my world my boxing ability. They knew I could knock people out, but they didn’t know that I could box very well.
Both Leonard and Hearns said they are anxiously awaiting the match between Thurman and Porter because they believe it will hold just as much drama as their match 35 יאר צוריק.
“יאָ, you can make the comparison,” Leonard said. “Both guys are at the top of the welterweight division. The only thing that’s different is that me and Tommy were so well known by sports fans. We were on TV a lot, and that’s what built our names and gave people the chance to see us so much. And that’s what they’re doing now with the PBC and the shows being on network TV. This could be a fight like ours. ווער ווייסט? But I do know that the fans are waiting on this fight.
HOW DO YOU PREPARE TO FACE THE BEST MAN IN YOUR DIVISION?
HEARNS: “It’s always hard to get prepared for someone like that because you think about what the outcome is going to be and what are your chances of winning the fight. I never thought about losing, but I thought about what my chances were.
I knew if I went out and boxed the way I knew I could box, I would beat Ray. Just the thought of fighting Ray brought a lot of questions to my mind. Some I had answers to and some I didn’t have. Most other guys I knew I could go out there and knock them out.
WHAT EXCITES YOU ABOUT THIS MATCHUP?
LEONARD:Just the heart of Keith and Shawn. Both of these guys have heart and both have that will. That composure. You can’t teach composure. It’s something that you either have or you don’t. You can’t learn that. That deep, deep composure when your left eye is closed and your liver is busted and you got to get up on the canvas.
HEARNS:I know Thurman and Porter have the ability to get each other out of there. It’s going to be a matter of who gets to who first. I’m definitely watching. I hope to be there in person.
HOW IMPORTANT IS THE MENTAL ASPECT OF THIS MATCH?
HEARNS: I know what it’s like to go against somebody that people don’t think you can beat. You have to prepare for that. It’s a mental stage that you go through, how you prepare your mind. If you can control your mind and tell your body what you’re going to do, then you can do it. You can’t worry about how good the other guy can punch. Just stay out of the way. Keep on laying that stick on him and he won’t be able to punch you.
WHAT WAS YOUR MENTALITY GOING INTO THE MATCH AGAINST LEONARD?
HEARNS:I didn’t come to go 12 אָדער 15 ראָונדס. I came to whip your butt and go home. I had no desire to go 15 ראָונדס. I trained for it, but I was never going 15 rounds.
WHAT WAS YOUR MENTALITY GOING INTO THE MATCH AGAINST HEARNS?
LEONARD:I felt that I could beat anyone. My brother Roger didn’t think I could beat Tommy. He didn’t tell me that until it was over. In training camp I used to box Roger and he would land a lot of right hands. He figured if Tommy’s right hand landed on me it would be over. My brother didn’t have much confidence in me.

קיט טערמאַן
Muhammad Ali opened up the door for so many people. Michael Jordan changed the game in our era, but Ali did it so long ago. He showed people that boxing is a great sport and can be the most entertaining sport in the world.
“פֿאַר מיר, it’s almost like a dream come true. It’s surreal. I remember at an early age in boxing saying, ‘I want to be the guy that brings boxing back.I’m really blessed to be where I am in my career. For all the fighters who could end up on this stage, I’m proud that I’ve been chosen.
I’ve always considered myself a knockout artist. Back to when I was a teenager knocking out grown men in headgear. Ever since then, I’ve been dropping people like a bad habit.
I love being a power-puncher. My favorite fighter of all time is Mike Tyson. One of my goals that I set when I was a kid was to have more knockouts than Mike Tyson throughout my career.
I’m ready for Shawn Porter. We’re going to box harder, box stronger and box better. I will be the better man.
Training is the fundamentals of getting one prepared. We’ve always known that Shawn Porter was going to come into this fight in tremendous shape. That’s what his training methods are all about. But the Energizer Bunny has never been hit by Keith Thurman, and I’m pretty sure I could stop it in its tracks.
“איך בין געגאנגען פֿאַר די נאַקאַוט. I’ve stated it before. My hands are itching for a knockout. I’m ‘One Time,’ אַלע די צייַט. That’s my philosophy. Every single time I step into the ring I’m looking for the knockout. We don’t get paid for overtime.
This is an opportunity to showcase our talents and our skills to the world. The winner will have an opportunity to be the head guy in the sport. I’ve always wanted to have a legacy in the sport of boxing.
I want to be the undisputed welterweight champion of the world. That’s my ultimate goal. There have only been so many in the history of boxing. I want to be a part of that history.
DAN BIRMINGHAM, Thurman’s Trainer
Keith is a guy who deserves to be on this stage. He has a lot of experience and he’s come into his own. This is the kind of thing that happens when you work hard.
Life happens. Keith was involved in the accident and so we took the necessary rest. He saw the right doctors and we’re back now. We’re ready for Shawn Porter.
We’re constantly conditioning. We’re working on attacking his style. He’s a short, come-forward brawler who’s going to try to come into Keith’s chest and make it a war. We’re making out adjustments.
Keith has to be busier, more in charge fighter. He has to work off of his jab and then his power will keep Porter at bay.
