Hér er það sem bardagamenn þurfti að segja Fimmtudagur:
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. Svo, 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 Laugardagur, 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 á laugardag 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 á laugardag.
“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. Ég er tilbúinn. 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 á laugardag nótt. "
JOSE SANTA CRUZ, Santa Cruz’ Father & Trainer
“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 á laugardag night in front of the fantastic Southern California boxing fans.”
TIM RYAN, Forstjóri & 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. kortið á laugardag is wonderful. I know these guys will be ready and I’m looking forward to an action-packed night on the 27th.
CHRIS DEBLASIO, Vice President, 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 á laugardag nótt. "

ANAHEIM, Calif. (Febrúar. 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 £. 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 sinnum. 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) á Laugardagur, Febrúar. 27, í aðalkeppni á a Showtime CHAMPIONSHIP Hnefaleikar tripleheader lifa á Showtime (10 p.m. OG/7 p.m. PT) from Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif.
Martinez won his U.S. debut and the IBF 122-pound crown with a sixth-round TKO overJhonatan Romero á ágúst. 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 síðasta Desember. 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. Nú, 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,'' Sagði hann. “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 pund-fyrir-pund bardagamaður. 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, Spánn, 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,'' Sagði hann. “Once I decided to start boxing and dedicated myself to it I fell in love with the sport.’’
Sem áhugamaður, 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,'' Sagði hann. “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 berst, 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.’’
Ef triumphant, 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 onFebrúar. 27 (í Manchester, England, lifa á 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.”
Í Febrúar. 27 co-feature on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING, hard-hitting Mexican warriors Júlí Ceja (30-1, 27 Kos) og 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
Rounding out the televised tripleheader is a 10-round fight between undefeated heavyweights Gerald Washington (16-0-1, 11 Kos) of Vallejo, Calif., and Montreal-based Colombian Oscar Rivas (18-0, 13 Kos).

QUEBEC CITY, Canada (Nóvember. 29, 2015) - James DeGale varði IBF Super hans Middleweight World Championship í spennumynd yfir heimabæ uppáhalds og fyrrum meistari Lucian Bute á laugardag í aðalkeppni á Showtime Championship Boxing.
Það var fyrsti titill vörn fyrir DeGale, að 2008 Olympic gull Minnispeningur frá Bretlandi sem fór á veginum til Boston til að vinna titilinn fyrr á þessu ári og kaus að verja í fjandsamlegt landsvæði.
Bute, sem var að reyna að vinna aftur IBF belti hann varði níu sinnum á milli 2007 og 2012, put on an inspired and gutsy performance in an electric atmosphere to open the new Videotron Centre in Quebec City. But the unbelievable pace, auk vopnabúr af overhand réttindi, líkami skot og combos frá yngri DeGale (22-1, 14 Kos) reyndist vera munur sem DeGale ríkti 116-112, 117-111 (tvisvar).
"Ég er ungur og ég er ferskur. Ég náði hámarki núna,” DeGale said. “I’m ready for the best in the world. Credit til Bute – hann er mikill meistari og trúðu mér, Hann verður aftur. "
"Eins og ég hef sagt áður, Hann er heimsklassa bardagamaður. Ég hef samt fengið það til að vinna á næstu þremur eða fjórum árum og ég ætla að vera mitt besta. "
Bute (32-3, 25 Kos) didn’t look anything like the fighter that lost to Carl Froch in 2012. But while the 35-year-old stalked the switch-hitting DeGale with a relentless attack, hann gat ekki gert nóg til að yfirbuga ákaflega virkt Brit, sem kastaði 524 máttur högg miðað við 278 fyrir Bute.
“I think it was a great fight. I did my best tonight,” Bute said. “I think it was a close fight. He’s an Olympic champion, he’s a world champion. If the judges give him the decision I respect that. I’ll be back in the gym to work hard and continue to fight. I think it was a very close fight. I’m happy with my performance and I’ll be back in the gym to get back in the ring one more time.
“The last three years were difficult for me. After I lost to Carl Froch that was a very difficult period for me. I took a break, and now I’m back. Mér finnst frábært, Mér finnst heilbrigt og nú hef ég eitt tækifæri til að vera aftur á toppinn.
“Maybe a few rounds I waited too much and didn’t put the punches together and I let James fight me. When I pushed pressure and pushed back I won the round.”
Í opnun bardaga á Showtime Championship Boxing, Eleider Alvarez unnið sér rétt til að takast WBC Light Heavyweight heimsmeistari Adonis Stevenson með nánu meirihlutaákvörðun yfir Isaac Chilemba, skoraði 114-114, 118-110, 115-113.
Alvarez, raðað nr. 2 með WBC á 175 £, byrjaði fljótur og vasi umferðir gegn nr. 1 ranked contender Chilemba. But Chilemba weathered the storm and fought his way back in the fight as Alvarez couldn’t keep up the pace he established in the earlier rounds.
Bæði bardagamenn kom út með tilfinningu brýnt í að 12th og ákveða vísu og ef Chilemba hafði unnið lokahringinn baráttan hefði verið útilokað jafntefli.
"Ég vissi að ég þurfti að klára síðar umferðir sterka, en ég tel að ég gerði nóg til að vinna baráttuna,” Alvarez said. “I’m ready to accept the challenge and face Stevenson. Til að vera heimsmeistari, þú þarft að slá meistari. Svo það er það sem ég miða að gera. "
Mark hélt því fram að ALVAREZ, sem berst út úr nágrenninu Montreal, nytu góðs af "heimabæ ákvörðun,"Þótt dómarinn sem úrskurðaði í baráttunni jafntefli var á staðnum og hinir tveir voru frá hlutlausum svæðum.
"Ég hélt að ég gerði nóg til að vinna það,” Chilemba said. “But it is what it is. Ég held að þú getur hringt í hana a heimabæ ákvörðun. "
Eftir að berjast, Showtime Sports gestgjafi Brian Custer settist niður með Stevenson að fá hugsunum sínum á Alvarez-Chilemba og framtíð hans.
"Það var loka líkamlega berjast,” Stevenson said. "Hann (Alvarez) vann þessari baráttu en það var mjög nálægt. "
"Við tölum um Kovalev því WBC röðum honum enn Nei. 1 keppinautur. Ég vil þetta berjast að gerast. The fans want it to happen. I said June is perfect for me. He said ‘OK, Júní,"Kathy Duva sagði" Ekkert vandamál, June.’ Then she said on HBO. Ég sagði, "Gleymdu sjónvörp, let them talk.’ We want the fight to happen. Let the TVs work together and make it happen.
“I want to fight Kovalev. That’s the best opportunity for me because I want his titles. For sure, this fight will happen in June. I don’t have a problem; my team doesn’t have a problem. I want this fight in June.
Kovalev is scared. I talked to him, saw it in his eyes that he’s scared of me. It will happen, but I know Kovalev is scared. I want Kovalev. I’m very hungry to get his titles.”
Adrian Granados lifað fyrsta umferð knockdown losti undefeated frábær léttur horfur Amir Imam í opnun lota af Showtime Hnefaleikar ON Sho Extreme með áttunda umferð TKO (2:34).
Það var alger ósigur fyrir Imam, sem slegið berjast eins NO. 1 skylda Challenger að WBC Super Léttur heimsmeistari Viktor Postol.
Imam looked like he was going to finish the fight early after a nice left-right combo floored the Chicago native. But after escaping the first, Granados ráðist taktur í baráttunni, worked the inside and prevented Imam – considered one of boxing’s most talented young contenders – from establishing his jab. With Imam unable to keep the fight at a distance, Granados picked apart the Don King-promoted fighter. After seven rounds of punishment and Iman gasping for air against the ropes Granados finished his opponent with a series of devastating combo shots.
An elated Granados (15-3-2, 10 Kos), sem hefur tap bardagamenn með samanlagt skrá yfir 49-0, flutti mál sitt til að verða nauðsynlegur Challenger.
"Ég tel að ég ætti að vera skylda Challenger,” Granados said. “He was in line and I stopped him. Hvað þýðir það? Come on. I was the underdog, en ég kom bara til að taka það. Ég kom til að taka það.
"Það finnst frábært. Þegar ég hafði hann wobbled ég var eins, "Þú hefur fengið að fá hann núna. This time you’re not taking it from me.’ It was a flash knockdown. Hann tók með hægri hendi, en ég var allt í lagi. Ég smella bara rétt upp og ég vissi að hann var að fara að reyna að klára mig. Við fengum út úr því og fór strax aftur til vinnu. "
Þrátt fyrir demoralizing tap, Ég hef (18-1, 15 Kos) ekki sjá eftir að taka upp baráttuna sem mun líklega knýja hann út úr titlinum deilum.
"Ég veit að fólk gæti sagt að ég ætti ekki að hafa tekið þessari baráttu, en ég þurfti þessa baráttu á milli sem stilla upp fyrir næstu baráttu mína vegna þess að ég vildi ekki að bíða eftir sex til átta mánuði fyrir titli heimsins skot.
"Lykillinn að baráttunni var jab mín, Ég bara vissi ekki að nota það nóg,” Imam said. “But that’s the way it goes and I’m going to definitely come back stronger. I wasn’t thinking anything after that first-round knockdown. I’ve done that many times and didn’t think the fight was over. I wasn’t surprised at all by the way he came out. Ég veit hvernig hann berst. Hann er góður bardagamaður og það er allt það er til það. "
Í opnun lota af Showtime box ON Sho Extreme, undefeated þungavigtar horfur Oscar Rivas (18-0, 13 Kos) slegnir út öldungur Joey Abell (31-9, 29 Kos) á :46 af annarri umferð.

"Ég myndi segja að þetta er stærsta berjast á mínum ferli. Það er að fara til vera a mikill bardagi og ég hlakka til a mikill nótt.
"(Imam er) fékk mikið af verkfærum og hann er mjög hæfileikaríkur. Við munum taka það umferð með umferð og gera breytingar sem baráttan fer.
"Ég hef góðum bata. Ég er ekki ánægður með hvernig ferill minn hefur farið og hafði mikið af slæmum ákvörðunum og stjórnun vandamál. Ég var ekki alinn eftir eins andstæðingurinn minn var. En það hefur hjálpað mér að vaxa smá þykka húð og eiginleika hvers vegna ég er hér í dag.
"Ég hef staðið frammi erfiðar bardagamenn áður og það er ekki í fyrsta skipti sem ég hef verið lítilmagni. Ég mun draga burt þessa uppnámi.
"Ég er að leita að hneyksla box heiminum á laugardag nótt. "
OSCAR Rivas
"Styrkur minn er hraði minn og hvernig ég setti þrýsting á andstæðingi mínum. Þannig að ég ætla að fara eftir (Abell) og mun setja mikla pressu á hann þar til hann fellur.
"Ég er svo spennt og ofsakæti að berjast aftur á stóra sviðinu. Ég barðist á ShoBox í síðustu baráttu mínu og það var ótrúlegt. Það er svo mikilvægt fyrir mig að fá séð svo ég geti uppfyllt draum minn og fá inn í the toppur 10 í deild minni.
"Þetta er stærsta berjast á ferli mínum og stærsta tækifæri sem ég hef fengið. Ég vil bara vera viss um að ég grípa það og líta fallegt. "
STACY McKinley, Framkvæmdastjóri Imam og þjálfari
"Ég get ekki fundið neitt sem við þurfum að vinna á. Amir er sterk og tæknilega hljóð og hann er að fá meiri reynslu í hvert skipti sem hann berst. Hann er hrikalegt puncher. Hann er fullur pakki og það er mjög erfitt að finna. Þeir koma ekki um of oft.
"Mig langar hann til að berjast Adrien Broner næsta ári. Mig langar til að berjast alla strákana og sameina allar titla á næsta ári. Boxing er að fara að þurfa nýja Superstar nú að Floyd Mayweather er farinn, og við erum ekki að fara að bíða 15 ár að gera annað. Ég held Amir sameinar alla titla á 140 og 147, þá viljum við hafa nýja Superstar okkar innan 36 mánuðum.
"Hann þarf að nota jab hans til að vinna á laugardag. Hann fékk fallega jab, besta jab í hnefaleikum. Og allt þarf að koma strax á bak við það. "
