Fighting just 10 miles west of his hometown of La Habra and before 7,780 enthusiastic fans, the 27-year-old Santa Cruz (32-0-1, 18 Kos) continued to establish himself as the King of Southern California as he punished the game 29-year-old Martinez (35-7, 26 Kos) of Alicante, Valencia, Hispaania, koos 570 total punches in just five rounds. Seal olid 1,038 total punches thrown during the fight.
“The fans love it when two fighters go toe-to-toe,” Santa Cruz told SHOWTIME’s Jim Hall after the fight. “I wanted to give the fans a great fight. I knew I could hurt him with a right hand. He’s a fighter and when he’s knocked down, he’s going to come back. In the fifth round I knew I had to finish him off and I did.”
Santa Cruz continued, “We were going toe-to-toe from the beginning. He’s was throwing good punches I was throwing out good punches and the crowd was loving it. Then my dad told me to slow down and be smarter so we started boxing.”
Santa Cruz wasted no time getting the upper hand as the opening bell rung. He knocked Martinez out twice in the first round; the first just 23 seconds into the fight and the second on a devastating right hand at two minutes into the round prompting SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING play-by-play announcer Mauro Ranallo to tell expert analyst Al Bernstein: “We may be able to get to Disneyland before the end of the night.”
Martinez fell into a groove in the third and fourth rounds, but got into trouble two minutes into the fifth round as Santa Cruz had him up against the ropes connecting on numerous body shots, uppercuts and combinations before referee Raul Caiz Sr. signaled the end of the fight for Santa Cruz’s second straight world title defense in Southern California.
Martinez said that Santa Cruz, “started to move a lot and he broke my strategy and he fought a great fight. The second round I was getting looser and I was starting to feel much better.
“He was like a bull coming forward really strong,” Santa Cruz added. “He has definitely been one of the strongest fighters I’ve been in the ring with yet.
“Towards the end I said, ‘this is it, this is my opportunity to take him down. If I don’t finish him right here, it’s going to make it a really tough fight.’ So I said I was going at it with my all and thankfully it turned out the way that it did.”
Santa Cruz, making his second defense after capturing the world title from Abner Mares back in August, said someday he wants to break the records for most punches thrown in a fight. “I wanted to throw as many punches as I can so the fans could get a good show.”
Santa Cruz is now eyeing a future potential matchup with IBF 122-pound world champion Carl Frampton juures 126 pounds or Gary Russell. “I’m up for anyone,” ütles ta. “I want the rematch with (Abner) Emad. Since Frampton won, if he’s ready to go up in weight, I’m ready for him. I challenge him to a fight whenever he’s ready.”
In a rematch of the WBC Super Bantamweight World Title he lost last August, the new 122-pound champion Ruiz improved his record to 5-0 in rematches (viie knockouts) as he delivered a stunning first-round knockout against Ceja, who injured his right ankle on a powerful clean right just seconds into the fight sending him to the canvas.
Ceja got up slowly but was battered with a fury of punches and knocked out again with just 51 seconds into the fight ending the affair.
“I was very prepared to knock him out, but I was prepared to go 12 vooru täna õhtul also if I had to,” said Ruiz, who was teary and emotional following the victory. “I was happy to knock him out in the first round. I’m looking for the best fighters and the best money out there.”
Said SHOWTIME analyst Paulie Malignaggi: “I’ve never seen a first-round KO that soon in a fight of this much importance.” Added SHOWTIME’s Bernstein: “The right hand was the weapon of choice for Ruiz, and he got the job done. What a moment of redemption for Ruiz!”
Kulm, who beat Ruiz on a fifth-round knockout last August to win the world title, was hurt from the first series of Ruiz punches and never recovered in the intense first round.
Ceja was taken to nearby UC Irvine Hospital and diagnosed with a fractured right ankle.
“I saw that he got hurt with the first punch and I saw his leg wobbling and so I said, ‘Let’s finish’,” Ruiz ütles. “And I did in that round.”
Ajalugu Laupäev Manchester, Inglismaa, edasi Showtime BOXING INTERNATIONAL, IBF 122-pound world champion Carl Frampton unified the super bantamweight division with a split decision victory over WBA titlist Scott QUIGG.
The long-awaited matchup of unbeaten champions got off to a slow and tactical start, but Belfast native Frampton (22-0, 14 Kos) established himself as the aggressor and worked his jab to pocket the early rounds. Quigg didn’t come alive until after the seventh, when trainer Joe Gallagher warned his charge that he was likely down big on the judges’ tulemuskaardi.
QUIGG (31-1-2) pounded the body and was the aggressor in rounds eight through 11, but it was too little, too late for the Lancashire, England native. Frampton won the 12th and walked away the unified champion by scores of 115-113 for Quigg, kuid 116-112 twice for Frampton.

Siin on, mida võitlejad oli öelda Neljapäev:

 

LEO SANTA CRUZ

 

“Headlining a televised card has been my childhood dream. I could have never imagined I was going to get this far. And Here I am, on my second main event, defending my title on a premium network. I’m so psyched. I cannot believe it.

 

“The first time I put the gloves on, I knew that I had found my craft, and I also knew that it was not going to be an easy road. I knew that I had to work hard to become a champion. Nii, I trained the hardest and I fought the hardest, and with my father by my side I got here, where I’m at today. I owe him everything.

 

“I remember watching all the great Mexican Champions and day dreaming about being like them one day. It felt unreachable. I thought it was impossible to get where they were. But I worked hard, really hard from the beginning.

 

“The most important thing is that the fans leave happy and get their money’s worth. I’m glad that Kiko has come prepared because we’re ready for a great fight.

 

“People are saying that I should walk through Kiko Martinez, but I don’t listen to that. I look at Kiko the same way I look at any other opponent. When we step inside the ring, we are equals.

 

“At the end of the day, the winner will be the fighter who has prepared more and who has imposed his will on the other man.

 

 

KIKO MARTINEZ

 

“I have faced much stronger boxers than Leo and come Laupäev, all of those who did bet on me for this fight, I am going to make you a lot of money.

 

“I am excited and proud to know that Sergio Martinez will be present laupäeval supporting me. His guidance and presence

 

“My trainer could not be here, but we have not taken one day off in training camp and I have been pushed to my limit to prepare me for this fight. I’m thankful to Robert Garcia for being in my corner laupäeval.

 

“I know this is a great opportunity to fight Leo Santa Cruz and I will make the most of it. I’m going to leave everything inside the ring so that the fight fans enjoy a great championship matchup.

 

“I feel that Leo Santa Cruz is a great fighter, he has beat some incredible fighters. He’s a great athlete and boxer. Sometimes people will try to make him out to be more than he actually is but they are mistaken with what they see in me. I am not to be mistaken as the underdog here.

 

 

JULIO CEJA

 

“As Hugo mentioned, we have both trained even harder than last time and we’re more prepared physically and mentally.

 

“I’m going to give everybody a great fight just like last time. I’m walking into the ring knowing my opponent very well. We’ve been to war. I know what to expect from him. I know about his punch and I know how to counter it.

 

“I’m going to be alert and ready. I’ll be a little more intelligent, because I know that he’s coming well prepared and he’s coming for the world title, but he’s not going to get it.

“There are going to be no surprises in this fight. Hugo Ruiz said that he was training harder this time. But I am too. I’ve trained very hard.

 

“The key for me to win this fight is to keep my hands up and to not give him one inch. I cannot be careless. I’ll be strategic and use my wisdom. I cannot come in with my hands down because I know I’ll pay for it. But nothing to worry about, we have rectified those issues in training camp. Ma olen valmis. He’s not taking my belt away from me.

 

“I’m glad that he says he is better prepared this time because I am better than ever. My team has been instrumental in preparing me for this matchup.

 

“The winner will be the man who is more prepared physically and mentally. But the real winner will be the fans at Honda Center because this is an amazing card and we’re going to put on an amazing fight.”

 

 

HUGO RUIZ

 

“If you liked the first fight between us, then you are going to love this one.

 

“I’m excited to be fighting once again in Southern California. I’ve trained very hard and I have prepared myself for this world title opportunity.

 

“I’m looking forward to putting on a grand show for all my fans laupäeval öösel. "

 

 

JOSE SANTA CRUZ, Santa Cruz’ Father & Treener

 

“I hear Kiko has a great trainer on his corner. Robert Garcia is really good, but I have news for Kiko, his trainer is not going to fight for him.

“Once a fighter steps into the ring, he’s alone in there. There are no trainers and no great promoters that can fight for him.”

 

“Kiko speaks about this prestigious trainer and thinks that by mentioning him, he is going to intimidate us. He has something else coming. The trainer won’t fight for Kiko. Roberto Garcia has trained my son and knows Leo very well but that does not give Kiko the upper hand.”

 

TOM BROWN, Head of TGB Promotions

 

“Southern California favorite Leo Santa Cruz returns to bring his action style to the ring. He will be opposed by a tough former world champion in Kiko Martinez who is sure to make this a tremendous fight.

 

“The first fight between Ceja and Ruiz was a true back and forth war. Should this pick up right where it left off, we will have a great fight to start the telecast.

 

“I’m looking forward to a great night laupäeval night in front of the fantastic Southern California boxing fans.”

 

 

TIM RYAN, tegevdirektor & President of Honda Center

 

“I’m so thankful to everyone for helping to bring boxing back to Orange County. It’s hard to believe that Julio Cesar Chavez fought here in 1996, because it seems like yesterday.

 

“We have a great arena and a great fan base that loves boxing here in Orange County. kaart laupäeval is wonderful. I know these guys will be ready and I’m looking forward to an action-packed night on the 27th.

 

CHRIS DEBLASIO, Asepresident, Sports Communication Showtime Networks

 

“This is a fight fan’s fight card and we are looking forward to some explosive action. I think everyone knows that the lighter weight classes, especially at the championship level, produce exciting fights. My favorite examples include the epic series between Israel Vazquez and Rafael Marquez, which are available on SHOWTIME platforms and should wet your appetite for what we will see laupäeval öösel.

“I have won a world title in the United States and became a world champ here and I am expecting to become the world champ here once again. That fight was how I became known here, now this fight will be the biggest fight of my career.
“I’ve been studying [Santa Cruz] for quite some time now, since I’ve been waiting to fight him previously, now it has come to this point in this time of my life. I have grown and learned so much since then that I truly feel that I have learned from my mistakes and grown to the best of my life yet.”
“Luckily [trainer Gabriel Sarmiento] has been training me up until this point. We’re on the same team and we have each other’s backs and he is still fully supportive. I have him in my heart and I know that he will be supporting me all the way.

“This will be a toe-to-toe fight because we both know each other’s strengths and having fought before we know this rematch will be explosive.
“From the second we knew there would be a rematch, we immediately started training. We knew going in to this again that it will be a tough fight and this one will be better than the first. It will be more dangerous and more of a fight than the last because of what the rematch represents.
“I have trained very hard because I know what is on the line and I am not going to allow Ruiz to take that title from be so easily. It is going to be an all-out battle.

“It’s a great honor to be fighting here in Los Angeles. My whole life has taken place in this state and everyone who has supported me is coming together laupäeval to see it all in action.
“Heavyweight boxing is always exciting. We’re the hardest hitters in the game. I can’t wait to show everyone the hard work I’ve put in and give a great performance.
“I’m going to be smart and disciplined in the ring. But you also have to have a strong will and have the determination to keep moving forward. You have to step to the guy and apply the pressure.
“My height and reach is always to my advantage but it’s not that. It’s the legs, the mind, the combinations. It’s everything.
“You will see a smart and aggressive style from me laupäeval and I’m going to take that into the next level of my career.”

Santa Cruz worked out alongside his father and trainer, Jose Santa Cruz, for the media in attendance and spoke about his upcoming bout and more. The workout also featured a surprise performance from Martin Castillo and a five-piece band that included a tuba and an accordion. Santa Cruz jumped rope and went through drills while traditional Mexican folk music called Corrido filled the Southern California gym.
Here is what Santa Cruz and his father had to say Thursday:
LEO SANTA CRUZ
“I always train to make a statement. I want to go out there and show everyone that I’m really good and I deserve to be considered one of the best.
“I fight for my family. Since I was small, this is what I’ve wanted to do to help my family. I wanted to work hard and give my family a better future.
“Martinez is a strong fighter who comes forward and always puts pressure on you. He never backs down and always comes to fight. That’s what we like about this matchup — it makes for a more intense fight.
“We’re going to give the fans an entertaining show. The fans are the ones who are going to win at the end of the night. I’m going to go out there and try to knock him out by the end of the third round.
“I think he’s going to be the aggressor because he’s shorter and has to fight that way. But I’m going to go forward and be the aggressor too. If that’s not working, I’ll box him. We’re going to do what we need to do to win the fight.
“I see Carl Frampton vs. Scott Quigg as a 50-50 võitlus. It’s a tough fight for both of them. I think whoever catches the other guy first will get the victory. They both can hit and they both have great skills. It could go either way.
“It’s a very interesting fight between Frampton and Quigg. They’ve both been possible opponents for me and I hope that I do well that night and face the winner of that fight. Mind ei huvita, kes on, I want to fight them.
“I’m willing to fight whoever. I want the winner of Frampton-Quigg. If not then Lee Selby, Gary Russell Jr., Jesus Cuellar or anyone in the division. Hopefully next it will be one of those fighters.
“My fighting style is to always go forward and throw a lot of punches. I just want to entertain the fans. I fight for them and I try to send them home happy. I want to go in there and fight in a war.
“I’m going to fight all of the top guys. I’m still young and I know if I keep working hard and taking care of the guy in front of me, I’ll get all of those fights.
“We’re working on our distance and learning new things every day in camp. I don’t want to change too much, since I’m undefeated. I’m going to be prepared mentally and physically to get the win.
“We’re working hard all the time. We know what we have to do in the ring to win the fight. My last fight our strategy was to brawl but we adjusted it and moved more and we were able to get the victory.
On his recent foray into boxing promotion: “Being a promoter is difficult. It’s very hard. You’re always busy, so right now I’m focused on my boxing career. I’m letting my brothers and my family take care of it now. I’m not there 100 percent yet but I like to give my opinion. It’s something I’d like to do after I retire.”
JOSE SANTA CRUZ
“Leo is very well prepared as he always is. Oleme alati koolitada 100 percent and we are ready.
“The team is ready to fight. We have one week left to rest and put some finishing touches on this camp.
“We’re going to fight Martinez with our style. We’re going to do whatever we need to do to win the fight. Leo is going to take the fight to him and try to counteract whatever style Martinez brings.
“See saab olema hea võitlus. Whichever style Martinez brings, we’re going to out-maneuver him and make it a good fight. I see Leo winning a decision at least if not a knockout.”

ANAHEIM, Californias. (Veebruar. 16, 2016) – Spain’s Kiko “Sensación” Martinez is a soft-spoken, hard-hitting former IBF Super Bantamweight World Champion and a three-time European champion at 122 naela. He’s a come-forward, comes-to-win, aggressive-minded slugger who makes for exciting fights and has been in with excellent opposition.

 

The ultimate road warrior, the 5-foot-5, 29-year-old Martinez has fought more than one-third of his fights outside his native Spain, where he has tussled 26 korda. He’s also fought four times in Ireland, three times in England, three times in Northern Ireland and one time each in Japan, Argentina, France and South Africa.

 

So don’t expect Martinez (35-6, 26 Kos) to be in awe of the surroundings in his second start in the United States when he challenges unbeaten, defending featherweight world champion Leo Santa Cruz (31-0-1, 17 Kos) edasi Laupäev, Veebruar. 27, põhiturniiri kohta Showtime MEISTRIVÕISTLUSED BOXING tripleheader elada Showtime (10 Pärastlõunal. JA/7 Pärastlõunal. PT) from Honda Center in Anaheim, Californias.

 

Martinez won his U.S. debut and the IBF 122-pound crown with a sixth-round TKO overJhonatan Romero Aug. 17, 2013. “That was a great night for me,’’ Martinez said. “I’m confident of another great performance on Feb. 27.''

 

A winner of three in a row in his homeland, including a fourth-round TKO over Miguel Gonzalez viimane Detsember. 12, Martinez aims to make amends after losing three high-profile fights in recent years to super bantamweight world champions – twice to Carl Frampton(IBF) and once to Scott QUIGG (WBA).

 

Martinez gets an opportunity against Santa Cruz in a fight he never saw coming.

 

“I’m thrilled to be fighting Leo Santa Cruz, but getting this fight was a total surprise because I already had a fight scheduled,’’ said Martinez, who trains at his friend and manager, former world super middleweight champion Sergio Martinez’ gym in Spain. “I had been scheduled to fight for the European title. When this opportunity came up, I decided to give up the European title to come to America.

 

“I was very happy and very emotional when I heard about this fight. It was one of the best days of my life when I agreed to fight Santa Cruz. Nüüd, more boxing fans will get to see me. I will not take one step back. I will come forward the whole fight.

 

“I’m thankful to SHOWTIME and I’m excited for the challenge. It’s a huge fight in the United States and a great opportunity. Some people don’t think I can fight because I lost to those guys [Frampton and Quigg], but they are wrong. I am as determined as ever. I’m going to fight a great fight and come out with a victory.’’

 

While respectful of the champion, Martinez is no stranger to fighting on foreign soil and is poised to pull off a stunner.

 

“I will surprise many people who don’t believe in me,'' Ütles ta. “I’m working so hard for this fight. People doubting me has me even more motivated. They will see on Feb. 27 and everyone will change their minds.

 

“I love fighting in my opponent’s backyard. That is not a problem for me at all. People who know boxing know I will give everything to this sport. I want to give great shows and entertain people. I’m coming forward and throwing punches and I don’t give up.

 

“I’m going to give 100 percent and it’s going to be a tremendous fight. I have a ton of respect for Leo Santa Cruz. He’s a world champion and a great fighter who’s clearly one of the very best featherweights in the world and a Top 10 nael-for-nael võitleja. I am very conscious of that point.

 

“Leo and I are true warriors so this will be a brutal war. But I have what it takes. I’ve been working very hard with my longtime trainer, Gaby Sarmiento, and I will be victorious.’’

 

A lifelong resident of Spain, Martinez was born in Granada, Hispaania, and resides in Alicante. He has two sisters and two brothers but is the only one in the family who boxes professionally. He turned to boxing as a young teenager.

 

“I started in boxing because when I was about 13 I was smaller and other kids bullied me all the time. So I began looking for a way to learn to defend myself,'' Ütles ta. “Once I decided to start boxing and dedicated myself to it I fell in love with the sport.’’

 

Nagu amatöör, Martinez went 47-2 and won a Spanish national amateur championship, but he had no international amateur experience. “I had a good amateur career but never thought about the Olympics,'' Ütles ta. “My mind was always on being a pro fighter.’’

 

A dangerous puncher who’s at his best when he pressures his opponents and wears them down, Martinez turned pro in June 2004. He was victorious in his initial 17 võitleb, winning all but three by knockout.

 

Martinez met Sergio Martinez [no relation] about nine years ago. “I met Sergio in the gym in Spain that he used to train himself in and we became good friends. When I started boxing I looked up to Julio Cesar Chavez and I am now a big fan of Marcos Maidana. I like to fight like him.

 

“But I’ve always had a special relationship with Sergio, who inspired me because he came from poverty like me. He has taught me so much. It’s like looking into a mirror because he knows where I came from. He’s taught me so much inside and outside the ring. We were very poor growing up and my father worked very hard.’’

 

Kui võidukas, Kiko Martinez says “I would like to stay at this weight because I feel much stronger. But I would definitely love a rematch with Frampton or Quigg.’’

 

Regarding the Frampton-Quigg 122-pound world title unification that also takes place onVeebruar. 27 (Manchester, Inglismaa, elama Showtime EXTREME®), Martinez didn’t hesitate when picking a winner.

 

“Frampton will win against Quigg,’’ Martinez said. “He’s the more complete boxer. He is stronger as well.”

 

In Veebruar. 27 co-feature on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING, hard-hitting Mexican warriors Juuli Ceja (30-1, 27 Kos) ja Hugo Ruiz (35-3, 31 Kos) will box in a rematch of an exciting, two-way slugfest for the WBC 122-pound world title that Ceja won from Ruiz on a fifth-round knockout last August

ANAHEIM, Californias. (Veebruar 9, 2016) – Hard-hitting Mexican warriors Juuli Ceja (30-1, 27 Kos) ja Hugo Ruiz(35-3, 31 Kos) engaged in a memorable back-and-forth battle for the WBC 122-pound world title last August and they are eager to meet in the ring again to deliver another explosive fight. The eagerly awaited return bout is part of a tripleheader on Showtime CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® elada Showtime® (10 Pärastlõunal. JA/7 Pärastlõunal. PT) from Honda Center in Anaheim, Californias.
Headlining the event is undefeated featherweight world champion Leo Santa Cruz in his first title defense against former champ Kiko Martinez. Rounding out the televised tripleheader is a 10-round fight betweenundefeatedheavyweights Gerald Washington ja Oscar Rivas.
Ceja recovered from a third-round knockdown to claim world title glory with a fifth-round stoppage of Ruiz, and he has promised once again to leave the fans thrilled.
“One thing I can tell you, is that this fight will be as exciting as the first one,” said Ceja. “You don’t want to miss it. War is coming.”
When Ceja and Ruiz clashed in Los Angeles last August, it was the U.S. debut for both and was also on a card headlined by Santa Cruz.
“I knew it was a big step up in my career to get a fight in the U.S.,” said Ruiz, “It was very emotional to be fighting in front of so many Mexican fans on such an important card.”
In an excellent two-way matchup contested in the middle of the ring, Ceja and Ruiz combined to throw 373 power punches in just five rounds, with Ceja benefiting from a 96-67 advantage in power punches landed. It was the sharp-shooting Ruiz who struck the first big blow of the match however, as he caught a lunging Ceja with a perfect left hook that put him down with just under a minute left in the third round.
“He definitely hurt me with that punch,” said Ceja. “I went straight into his hand and to the floor. But thanks to my great conditioning, I recovered fast. I train in the altitude in Mexico and that gives me the strength to fight 15 vooru. I’m working just as hard this camp.”
“I feel like I have the advantage in speed and power,” said Ruiz. “I was looking for the knockout from the beginning and I will do that again on Veebruar 27.”
Showing little effect from the knockdown, Ceja made it through the third and had a solid fourth round against the lanky Ruiz. He began to work effectively inside the long reach of Ruiz and buzz him with left hooks and uppercuts. It was a perfectly timed left hook with 58 seconds remaining in the fifth round that put Ruiz down. Ruiz made it to his feet, but Ceja continued to batter him with both hands until the referee, Raul Caiz Sr., stepped in and stopped the fight at 2:34 tekib ümmargune.
“Ceja came into the fight very aggressively and he put just the right amount of pressure on me,” said Ruiz. “This defeat is behind me now, but I did gain experience from the defeat that I will take into this fight.”
Both men know that there is plenty of work to be done in training camp.
“There is no way to get into a comfort zone against Ruiz,” said Ceja. “Just because I beat him, it doesn’t make this fight easier. He’s smart, experienced and he won’t make the same mistakes again. He’s a guy who works distances perfectly and knows when to attack. We made mistakes in the first fight that we’re going to fix.”
“I’m working on my defense and on putting more pressure on him throughout this fight,” said Ruiz. “I have to be aware of his left hand. The hook hurt me last time so I have been working on getting my right hand up to block it. I have to use my skills to be victorious.”
With a world title on the line once again, expect similar fireworks when these two proud Mexican sluggers share the ring in Anaheim.
“I want all my Mexican fans to come out and watch this fight, you will not regret it,” said Ceja. “I want to keep my belt for a long time and I want the fans to remember my name.”
“This is going to be another very explosive fight,” said Ruiz. “Expect a lot of punches, but this time I will be walking out a world champion.”

See oli esimene pealkiri kaitseministeeriumi DeGale, the 2008 Olümpiavõitja Suurbritanniast, kes läks teele Boston tiitlit võita selle aasta alguses ja valis kaitsta vaenuliku territooriumi.

 

Bute, kes üritas võita tagasi IBF vöö ta kaitses üheksa korda vahele 2007 ja 2012, esitage inspireeritud ja õhkõrn etendus elektrilises õhkkonnas, et avada uus Videotroni keskus Quebec Citys. Aga uskumatu tempo, samuti arsenal overhand õigusi, keha kaadrid ja transistor noorema DeGale (22-1, 14 Kos) osutus erinevust DeGale valitsenud 116-112, 117-111 (kaks korda).

 

"Ma olen noor ja ma olen värske. Ma jõudes kohe,”Ütles DeGale. "Olen valmis maailma parimaks. Credit Bute – Ta on suurepärane meister ja uskuge mind, Ta tuleb tagasi. "

 

"Nagu ma olen varem öelnud, ta on maailmatasemel võitleja. Mul on veel asju tööle järgmise kolme või nelja aasta jooksul ja ma lähen oma parima. "

 

Bute (32-3, 25 Kos) ei näinud välja nagu võitleja, kes kaotas Carl Frochile aastal 2012. Kuid samal ajal, kui 35-aastane jälitas DeGale'i lülitit lööva halastamatu rünnakuga, Ta ei suutnud piisavalt võitma ülimalt aktiivne Brit, kes viskasid 524 power löögid võrreldes 278 jaoks Bute.

Kui kohtunikud annavad talle otsuse, austan seda. Olen tagasi jõusaalis, et kõvasti tööd teha ja võitlust jätkata. Ma arvan, et see oli väga tihe võitlus. Olen oma esinemisega rahul ja tulen tagasi jõusaali, et veel kord ringis tagasi olla.

 

“Viimased kolm aastat olid minu jaoks rasked. Pärast kaotust Carl Frochile oli see minu jaoks väga raske periood. Tegin pausi, ja nüüd olen tagasi. Ma tunnen suurt, Ma tunnen terve ja nüüd on mul veel üks võimalus tagasi peal.

 

"Võib-olla mõned voorud ootasin liiga palju ega pannud lööke kokku ja lasin Jamesil endaga võidelda. Kui surusin suruma ja tagasi surusin, võitsin vooru. "

 

Avamisel hooaeg Showtime MEISTRIVÕISTLUSED BOXING, Eleider Alvarez teeninud õiguse ees WBC Light raskekaalu maailmameister Adonis Stevenson lähedase enamuse otsuse üle Isaac Chilemba, viskas 114-114, 118-110, 115-113.

Mark väitis, et Álvarez, kes võitleb välja ümberkaudsetes Montreali, oli saaja "kodulinnas otsuse,"Kuigi kohtunik, kes valitses võitlus viik oli kohalik ja teised kaks olid neutraalsed territooriumid.

Pärast võitlust, Showtime Sport host Brian Custer istus Stevenson saada oma mõtteid Alvarez-Chilemba ja tema tuleviku.

 

"See oli tihe füüsiline võitlus,”Ütles Stevenson. "Ta (Alvarez) võitis selles võitluses, kuid see oli väga lähedal. "

 

"Me räägime Kovaljov sest WBC veel ridadesse teda pole. 1 kandidaat. Ma tahan, et see võitlus juhtuma. Fännid soovivad, et see juhtuks. Ma ütlesin, et juuni sobib minu jaoks ideaalselt. Ta ütles: "OK, Juuni,"Kathy Duva ütles" Pole probleemi, Juuni. ”Siis ütles ta HBO saates. Ma ütlesin, "Unustage TVs, las nad räägivad. ”Me tahame, et võitlus toimuks. Las telerid töötavad koos ja teevad selle teoks.

 

"Ma tahan Kovaljoviga võidelda. See on minu jaoks parim võimalus, sest ma tahan tema tiitleid. Kindlasti, see võitlus toimub juunis. Mul pole probleeme; minu meeskonnal pole probleeme. Ma tahan seda võitlust juunis.

 

Kovaljov on hirmul. Rääkisin temaga, nägi tema silmis, et ta kardab mind. See juhtub, aga ma tean, et Kovalev on hirmul. Ma tahan Kovaljovi. Mul on väga nälg tema tiitlite järele. "

Aga pärast esimesest pääsemist, Granados dikteeris tempo võitlus, töötas sisemuses ja takistas imaami - keda peetakse pokside üheks andekamaks nooreks pretendendiks - oma löögi loomist. Kui imaam ei suuda võitlust distantsil hoida, Granados valis Doni kuninga edutatud võitleja lahku. Pärast seitset karistusringi ja Imani köie vastu õhku ahmides lõpetas Granados vastase mitme hävitava kombilöögiga.

 

Elevil Granados (15-3-2, 10 Kos), kes on kahju võitlejad kombineeritud rekord 49-0, tugineb oma asja saada kohustuslikuks challenger.

 

"Ma usun, et ma peaks olema kohustuslik challenger,”Ütles Granados. "Ta oli järjekorras ja ma peatasin ta. Mida see tähendab? Ole nüüd. Ma olin allajääja, aga ma lihtsalt tuli võtta see. Tulin seda võtma.

 

"See tundub väga. Kui mul oli temaga wobbled ma olin nagu, "Sa pead teda nüüd. Seekord ei võta te seda minu käest. ”See oli kiire koputus. Ta püütud parema käega, aga ma olin igav. Ma lihtsalt hüppasid paremale üles ja ma teadsin, et ta ei kavatse proovida ja mulle otsa. Me saime sellest välja ja läksin kohe tagasi tööle. "

 

Vaatamata demoralizing kaotuse, Mul on (18-1, 15 Kos) ei kahetse, et leidsid võitlus, et tõenäoliselt koputama ta välja pealkiri väidet.

 

"Ma tean, et inimesed võivad öelda, et ma ei oleks tohtinud seda võitlust, aga mul on vaja selle võitluse vahel tune-up minu kõrval võitlema, sest ma ei taha oodata kuue kuni kaheksa kuud maailma pealkiri shot.

 

"Võti võitlus oli minu jab, Ma lihtsalt ei kasuta seda piisavalt,”Ütles imaam. "Aga nii see läheb ja ma tulen kindlasti tugevamana tagasi. Ma ei mõelnud pärast seda esimese ringi kokkuvarisemist midagi. Olen seda mitu korda teinud ja ei arvanud, et võitlus on läbi. Ma ei olnud üldse üllatunud, kuidas ta välja tuli. Ma tean, kuidas ta võitleb. Ta on hea võitleja ja see kõik on see. "

AMIR LOVE

"Ma tean, et ma võtta riski, võttes selles võitluses, kuid ma lähen seda ära. Ma tõesti ei pea ülejäänud, sest ma olen jõusaalis nagunii. Nii Lähme lihtsalt selles võitluses välja viis ja ma lihtsalt ootama maailma pealkiri võitlus.

 

"Ma ei tunne survet. Ma tean, mida ma hüppasin, kui ma sain sinna professionaalne poks mäng, ja mul on hea meeskond minu ümber. Oleme tihedalt ringi ja väga tugev, ja kui võimalusi tulla, Ma valmis seda kasutama.

 

"Inimesed räägivad mulle, kes tahavad võidelda Errol Spence ja saad kättemaks (kohta minevikus Ameerika Ühendriike. Olympic poks uuringutes kaotuse). Mul ei ole kättemaks minu meelest. Ma mõtlen, me võiks kindlasti teha, kui ma tempot kaalukategooria, aga nüüd ma olen keskendunud 140 naela pealkiri shot. Ma tahan, et pealkiri shot alguses 2016 vastu (Praeguse WBC maailmameister) Viktor Postol.

 

"(Postol) on hea võitleja ja ta sai tiitli põhjusel, aga sa ei saa peita ja kestab liiga kaua ja minu aeg on tulemas järgmisel aastal. Sa saad ühe kaitse- ja siis on kõik mulle. See kõik on noore Master. "

 

Adrian Granados

"Ma ütleksin, et see on suurim võitluse minu karjääri. See saab olema suur võitlus ja ma ootan, et suur öö.

 

"(Imam on) sain palju vahendeid ja ta on väga andekas. Me võtame ta ringide ja teha muudatusi, kuna võitlus käib.

 

"Olen taas positiivne ka. Ma ei ole rahul sellega, kuidas minu karjäär on läinud ja oli palju halbu otsuseid ja probleemid. Ma ei toonud nagu mu vastane oli. Aga see on aidanud mul kasvada mõned paks nahk ja atribuudid, miks ma olen täna siin.

 

"Ma olen silmitsi karmi võitlejad enne ja see ei ole esimene kord, kui ma olen olnud allajääja. Ma kisun maha selle pahane.

 

"Ma otsin šokeerida poks maailma laupäeval öösel. "

 

OSCAR RIVAS

"Minu tugevuseks on minu kiirus ja kuidas ma survet minu vastane. Nii et ma lähen pärast (Abell) ja paneb palju survet, kuni ta langeb.

 

"Ma olen nii põnevil ja elevil, et võidelda taas suur etapp. Ma võitles ShoBox minu viimane võitlus ja see oli hämmastav. See on väga tähtis, et ma saan näha, et ma saaks täita oma unistus ja satuvad top 10 minu jagunemine.

 

"See on suurim võitluse oma karjääri ning suurim võimalus mul kunagi olnud. Ma lihtsalt tahan veenduda, ma haarata ning otsida tähelepanuväärne. "

 

STACY McKinley, Imam mänedžer ja treener

"Ma ei leia midagi peame töötama. Amir on tugev ja tehniliselt korras ja ta on üha rohkem kogenud iga kord, kui ta võitleb. Ta on laastav stantsija. Ta on täispakett ja see on väga raske leida. Nad ei tule ümber liiga sageli.

 

"Ma tahaksin teda võitlema Adrien Broner järgmisel aastal. Sooviksin võidelda kõik poisid ja ühendada kõik tiitlid järgmisel aastal. Poks läheb vaja uut superstaar nüüd, Floyd Mayweather on läinud, ja me ei hakka ootama 15 aasta teha veel ühe. Ma arvan, Amir ühendab kõiki tiitleid 140 ja 147, siis oleks meil meie uus superstaar jooksul 36 kuud.

 

"Ta peab kasutama oma torkima võita laupäeval. Tal on ilus jab, parim torkima poks. Ja kõik peab tulema õige taga. "
