“I love training with a young, hungry fighter like Jesús. We feed off of each other’s energy,” – Abel Ramos “We both have the same goal, which is to win on May 1… If I’m ever tired, I just look to Abel and know that I have to keep pushing,” – Jesús Ramos Welterweight Contender Abel Ramos & Rising Welterweight Star Jesús Ramos Preview Respective Showdowns on FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View Undercard Taking Place Saturday, Maj 1 z Dignity Health Sports Park w Carson, Kalifornia CASA GRANDE, AZ. (Kwiecień 14, 2021) – Welterweight contender Abel Ramos and his nephew, rising welterweight star Jesús Ramos, discussed their family’s bond through boxing while previewing their upcoming respective showdowns taking place Saturday, Maj 1 in FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View undercard action from Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Kalifornia.
Abel Ramos will step in to face former world champion Omar “Panterita” Figueroa in the co-main event of the pay-per-view, while Jesús Ramos will battle Javier “El Intocable” Molina in a welterweight attraction that kicks off the pay-per-view at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.
Abel and Jesús are trained by Abel’s brother and Jesús’ father, Jesús Ramos Sr. in their hometown of Casa Grande, Arizona. Both have spoken effusively about how training alongside a family member, and a fighter at a different point in their career, helps push them during camp.
“It’s great working with Abel,” said Jesús. “We both have the same goal, which is to win on May 1. If I’m ever tired, I just look to Abel and know that I have to keep pushing. I’m always able to ask him for advice and we help each other a lot.”
“It’s great training with a young, hungry fighter like Jesús,” said Abel. “We feed off of each other’s energy, and there’s lots of competitiveness when we train. I think that’s a good thing for both of us.”
Both Abel and Jesús have known since Jesús was little that this was a path the younger Ramos would eventually walk. For Jesús, he’s always used Abel as his inspiration to help get him where he is today.
“Deep down I always knew he’d get into boxing,” said Abel. “He was at all of my fights when he was younger and he always showed an interest in the sport.”
“Abel is the guy that I’ve looked up to since I was a little kid,” said Jesús. “I watched him box from a very young age and have learned a lot from him. Seeing him do it has always inspired me. He’s always taken tough fights and that’s inspiring too. He’s played a huge role in getting me to where I am today.”
While the 20-year-old Jesús is considered a young up-and-comer in the sport, who will be taking on his toughest test May 1 in Javier Molina, Abel believes that his nephew will show wisdom beyond his years in this fight.
“People think because Jesús is young that he doesn’t have experience, but that’s where they’re wrong,” said Abel. “At a very young age he displayed a lot of the abilities of a veteran fighter. He’s always had great patience, as well as the ability to think in the ring. His ring IQ is really high for his age.”
Ahead of the two fighting Ramos’ sharing the pay-per-view undercard on May 1, here is what Abel and Jesús had to say about their training camp, their respective showdowns and more:
ABEL Ramos
“We’re less than three weeks away now, and every week I feel stronger and more ready for May 1. I’ve been sparring with a bunch of local fighters from Arizona who are helping prepare me. The hardest part is yet to come, but I’m just focusing on the game plan and executing the same program that’s worked in the past.
“It’s great to be a part of this event and show the fans the warrior mentality that us Mexican and Mexican-American fighters have. I can’t wait to put on a great show! It’s motivating for me to showcase our warrior style and it’s making me work my absolute hardest in order to give my best on fight night.
“I learned a lot from facing Yordenis Ugas. I went back and watched that fight, and I saw some things I can improve on. It serves as motivation, but it also showed me that I belong in there with the best in the division. I don’t feel like it was a total loss because I learned from it. But in this fight, I’m going to show all the improvements I’ve made since the Ugas fight.
“I watched Figueroa’s fight against Ugas. But styles make fights and I think my fight against Figueroa is going to be different than what Figueroa and Ugas had. I expect way more action when I face Omar.
“The majority of the game plan is preparing for Figueroa to come forward. We’re getting sparring partners that mimic what Figueroa does. Even when I’m working on the heavy bag, we’re keeping that in mind. I’m constantly imagining someone in front of me who I know is going to throw a lot of punches.
"Pod koniec dnia, I just want the win by any means necessary. I love that people are expecting a great fight from us and I just use that as motivation to prepare myself for what I know will be a grudge match.”
JESÚS RAMOS
“Everything is going how we planned for in this training camp. It’s a grind seven days a week. I’m just keeping up a good diet and focusing on strength and conditioning. We’re going 12 rounds in sparring and I’m feeling ready. I’m in great shape already and we still have two and a half weeks to go. I’ve been sparring with my uncle Abel, Jorge Cota and some other local fighters from Arizona.
“I think Molina has a lot of experience, which I know he’ll try to use against me. He’s a fighter with good speed. But when he fought Jose Pedraza, he struggled against a southpaw. Tak, I might cause him some problems there, but I’m also bigger than Pedraza. I’m a legit welterweight.
“This fight being so close to Cinco De Mayo, this is a huge deal for me. There are going to be tons of events and festivities that week and to be a part of all of that is an honor. I just want to represent Mexico in the best way that I can.
“A victory over Molina would be a big statement. A lot of people are saying that he’s my toughest opponent to date. And beating him will get me fights with some even bigger names. But I have to beat Molina first.
“I’d love to get a knockout against Molina. He’s faced some tough fighters and nobody has been able to knock him out. But if I can’t get the knockout then I just want to dominate him and look good getting the win however I can.”

After numerous appearances onShoBox: Nowa Generacja, the 23-year-old Ennis has graduated to headlining his first SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast. Heading into his last bout against Chris van Heerden, Ennis was riding a streak of 16 kolejne nokautów.

“Training is grueling and I’m working hard with Joe Goossen to be at my best on fight night,” said Lipinets. “We have a tough, young fighter in Ennis who thinks I’m a stepping stone for him. But sometimes stepping stones trip you up, and I’ll be doing my best to trip him up on April 10. I’m just doing my best to get prepared for what I expect to be a dog fight. Every fan that knows boxing knows that this is going to be a real war and worth tuning in for.

The 26-year-old from Lithuania, who now lives and trains in California, looked impressive as he picked up three solid victories in 2019, beating Samuel Figueroa via unanimous decision and scoring early stoppages against Julio Cesar Sanchez and Evincii Dixon. The undefeated welterweight has put the division on notice with back-to-back dominating main event performances in November and December 2020, when he notched ninth-round knockouts over Justin DeLoach and Janer Gonzalez respectively.
“This is my first time fighting on SHOWTIME and it feels like a dream come true,” said Stanionis. “Dulorme is experienced and has been a good fighter for a long time. Na papierze, this is my toughest fight, ale jestem gotowa. I’ll be prepared for whatever he brings. With our styles, to będzie wojna. I’m ready to fight right now. Somebody is going down and no matter what happens, the fans are going to win.”
The 31-year-old Dulorme (25-4-1, 16 KO) has amassed a solid resume at 140 i 147 pounds during his career, climbing into the ring with world champions Yordenis Ugas, Jessie Vargas and Terence Crawford. Born in Marigot, Guadeloupe but fighting out of and representing Carolina, Portoryko, Dulorme rebounded from a loss to Crawford for a 140-pound title by scoring back-to-back knockouts, followed by a narrow decision loss to top welterweight Yordenis Ugas. The world title challenger is coming off a unanimous decision loss to Jamal James in his last fight in August.
“I’m very excited for this fight on April 10,” said Dulorme. “I came up short in my last fight for the title, but a win against Stanionis will put me right back into the position I want. He’s young and strong, but I have a lot more experience and I will show it in the ring and it will lead me to victory.”
Representing the Philippines, Ancajas (32-1-2, 22 KO) was only 15 years old when he was spotted by boxing legend Manny Pacquiao. The young fighter blossomed with Pacquiao’s guidance, becoming the first world champion under Pacquiao’s promotional banner when he outpointed McJoe Arroyo for the IBF World Junior Bantamweight title in September 2016. The 29-year-old southpaw hasn’t lost since and will be making the ninth defense of his title when he faces Rodríguez. In his most recent outing in December, Ancajas stopped Miguel Gonzalez in six rounds.
“I am really looking forward to returning to the ring on April 10 for my first fight on SHOWTIME,” said Ancajas. “Everybody knows the great rivalry between the Philippines and Mexico, and I look forward to adding another explosive fight to that history. Fight fans know where all the action fights are right now, and that’s the 115-pound division. I’m thankful for this opportunity and I plan to make the most of it.”
Mexico’s Rodríguez (22-1, 16 KO) was given the nickname “Titan” because of his prodigious power.

But I feel I did good, executed the game plan. My coaches had been studying film and we executed.
“I just took my time,” added Gausha. “I was setting traps. I knew he would be open eventually, but I had to be cautious too because he’s a rangy guy, has a good left hand. But I knew there were holes in his game and we executed and when the opportunity presented itself, we landed that big right hand.”
With his emphatic stoppage win, the 2012 Olympian emerges as a contender for a title shot in the super welterweight division. In his first and only world title shot in 2017, Gausha dropped a unanimous decision to current super welterweight world champion Erislandy Lara.
“I know I made a statement tonight,” added Gausha. “I put the division on notice. I’m locked and loaded and I’m ready. I want to be a world champion so I’m looking to fight whoever I need to fight to get to the belts.”

Oto, co mieli do powiedzenia uczestnicy konferencji prasowej w czwartek:
Adrien Broner
“I’ve had so many great performances and I’m looking forward to another great performance Saturday night. I know he’s coming to fight, he’s undefeated and he’s hungry. Anybody who fights a name like Adrien Broner is going to always train to their best ability so I’m not looking at this as a fight where I just go in and destroy this guy. I’m just going to go to do what I have to do to get the victory – look good inside and outside the ring.
“I feel like I’m going to be a world champion again, ponownie, wciąż. Until I’m really done with boxing. Tak, I took two years off from boxing, retired and let my body heal and rest. I just feel like I’ve got what it takes to win more championships in different weight classes so that’s what I’m going to do.
"Pod koniec dnia, he’s here because of me and everybody in this room is here because of me, so that’s special. Sobotnia noc, the only thing that’s going to be special is this whooping I’m giving out. He’ll know then. Santiago hasn’t been punched yet. When you punch somebody, they talk different. He ain’t going to be talking like that after Saturday.
“I went through a lot of things, szczerze. Pewnego dnia, I just woke and said, ‘I’m done.’ In order to change, you’ve got to make change or you’ll steady get caught up doing the same thing. I cut a lot of stuff, I stopped doing a lot of stuff and I got myself together. It was a long road to get to where I’m at today and now I’m here.
"Słuchać, if you got a belt, just hold on to it. I’m coming to sweep it all up; WBA, WBO, WBC, IBF. I’m coming to get them all.
“Just expect a hell of a show. I know he’s coming to fight, He’s from Puerto Rico, przychodzą do walki. But I didn’t just do all this training to go into the ring and not fight. So he’s got to know that if he comes to a war, he’s going to be in a war too. He better be coming with a lot of equipment because I’ve got a lot of equipment coming with me. I’m just ready to put it all on the line. I don’t know how he feels, but I’m willing to die in the ring. I’m willing to put my life on the line. I don’t know how far he’s willing to go. He might start thinking about his kids, grandkids, aunts, nieces, I don’t know.
“From the time I was six years old, I never took a break from boxing. So that’s what I did. Teraz, I’m missing boxing again, I’m back in it and we’re back to it on Saturday night.
“It’s been a hell of a training camp. Maybe one of the toughest because I had to get back in rhythm, coming back and losing all that weight and working as hard as I do. I didn’t want an easy fight so I picked a guy like Jovanie Santiago because I know he’s going to push me and bring the best out of me. That’s what I know about him. On jest dobrym zawodnikiem, an undefeated fighter, and he’s not here to lose.
“I know a lot of people don’t know these guys, but guys like Jovanie can be very dangerous because a lot of people don’t know him. I know better, he’s coming to fight, he’s a good fighter and undefeated, so I have to stay on my A-game. I’m going in to get the victory – whatever presents itself. If the knockout presents itself, I’m taking it. You don’t get paid for overtime but I’m definitely coming to get my win.
“The overall goal is to get past this fight first. In boxing, you can’t look past no opponent. I don’t care how everything looks on paper. In boxing, you’re only one punch away from a knockout and that’s on both ends. So what I’ve got to do is go in, get my victory, get my hands raised first, and then we’re gonna go to the drawing board. So the plan for me is to get my victory Saturday night.
“Everything happens for a reason and I think this is going to be a great start. Tak jak mówiłem wcześniej, I didn’t want no easy out. I could have taken a pushover, but I’m not doing that. I love competition. I want somebody to test me, bring the best out of me, and that’s why I picked Jovanie Santiago. Saturday night is going to be a great fight.”
JOVANIE SANTIAGO
“This is a great opportunity for me. Sobotnia noc, I’m going to show who I am. I’m going to show Adrien Broner that I’m ready to fight.
“Whatever Broner brings to the table, I’m going to beat him on Saturday night. Jestem gotowy do tej walki. W tym momencie, Broner might think he has an easy fight, but he’s in the wrong. Jestem tu, by walczyć, I’m here to win. Jesteśmy gotowi.
“This Saturday night is going to be a war and it’s going to be a victory for Puerto Rico. I’m ready to die in the line like we say in Puerto Rico.
“I know this is the biggest fight of my career. He’s a big name and I’m going to try and win for Puerto Rico. Winning this fight would be the best thing that’s happened in my career and my name would get a lot bigger in the boxing world.
“I don’t have anything to lose. Adrien Broner has everything to lose Saturday night so he better bring his A-game against me. A win for me would catapult me into a world title shot.
“AB always puts on a show so on Saturday I have to be ready to put on my own show against AB. He is a good champion but I’ve trained really hard in the gym and I’m going to show it on Saturday.
“I think Adrien Broner thinks that I’m an easy fight for him, but he’s wrong about that. I think Broner is going to let go of his hands because he sees me as a weak opponent. He’s definitely overlooking me.
“Whatever Broner brings to the table, I’m going to be ready for it. If he moves, I’m going to move with him. If he wants to brawl, I’m going to brawl. Whatever he does, I’m going to do it better than he does.”
DOMINIC Breazeale
“It’s true you’re only as good as your last fight, but at the same time I feel like this is my coming out party. It feels like my pro debut. I’ve been off for a long time and had a great training camp so I’m ready for Saturday night.
“After my last fight against (Deontay) Wilder I took a few days to digest the loss and then was back in the gym about 10 days later. I didn’t want to harp on it or let it bother me. There wasn’t really a sense of urgency, but I knew there were going to be changes and I knew they had to be done in the next couple of weeks. I focused on my eating and my training and, oczywiście, the biggest change of all was my trainer change from Virgil Hunter to Abel Sanchez.
“Switching to Abel and training up in Big Bear has been huge and something I wish I would have done years ago. Abel actually has something written on the wall that says, ‘Imagine what if.’ And I imagine ‘what if’ every night. Tak jak powiedziałem, I wish I would have done this a year ago, but my conditioning and my confidence are at an all-time high.
“Some people might have thought I would have wanted to get back in there with a pushover, but I’ve always wanted to fight the top guys. I saw the Otto Wallin fight and the performance he gave against Tyson Fury and then Travis Kauffman. When the name was brought to my attention, I jumped all over it. I knew that the boxing world would respect the fight against myself and Otto.
“I don’t think Otto’s been in there with a big, silny, athletic guy like myself. Mike Tyson said it best: ‘Everyone’s got a game plan until you get punched in the mouth.’”
OTTO WALLIN
“Everybody wants to ask about my fight with Tyson Fury and they forget that I’ve done a lot more than that. But it was a great performance and I understand that most people hadn’t seen me fight before, it was a great fight and it was better than what most people thought. I’m kind of over that now. I want to move forward. It’s nice to move forward. It’s nice to be on SHOWTIME fighting with Breazeale, who has a good name. So hopefully with this fight, I beat him and move on so people can see I’m able to beat good guys.
“I think I’m more well-rounded than Breazeale. Również, you can’t forget that I’m actually 6’ 6”, 240, so I’m not that small. I know a lot of people look at me like I’m smaller but I’m not that small. Z tym mówi, Jestem mądrzejszy, got a great team, we’ve had a great camp and I’m really good too. I’m faster than Dominic, I have better footwork, better defense, and better defense. So I’ve got to bring all of that in there, do what I’m good at and I’ll be fine.
“I think a win will hopefully help me move past Fury. But also it will put my name up there, to solidify my spot there. I don’t think this fight will get me a title shot but it will be a good shot on the way.
“I think you can expect a good fight, two good fighters. Dominic probably feels he has a point to prove and probably going to come out and be aggressive and try to come after me. I’m sure I won’t have to look for him and I’m ready for that. People can expect an exciting fight and a good night of boxing.
“Dominic is an aggressive guy so I have to be smart. I have to be who I am and set him up and I think I will be able to do that.
“I don’t feel a lot of pressure. I just have to be myself and I have to do what I do, what I’m good at. This is a big opportunity for me so I try to be positive. I waited a long time to get to this level, I’m finally here and I’m not going back.”
ROBERT WIELKANOC, JR.
“I’ve been in some brawls, but I really haven’t ever shown my true boxing abilities. Me, Mike Stafford and my father (Robert Wielkanoc, Sr.) just worked on boxing and being myself.
“During COVID it really set me down and being off for all that time and never really knowing when I would get that call to get back in the ring. So I really had to focus up and I had to be ready whenever I was given that phone call. It motivated me. Więcej, I had to look over my son and make sure he was alright. So it really put a different drive in me. This pandemic really set everything back, but we’re more than ready.
“140 is definitely the place for me to be right now. That’s the future. We’re worried about present right and capturing this title at 140.
“I’m just worried about me and showing my skills and everything we’ve worked on in training and this camp.”
RYAN MARTIN
“We fought in the amateurs and he beat me so there’s definitely a little chip on my shoulder there. I want to get back at him and let him know that I’m not a 16-year-old kid anymore.
“This fight is going to put me right back up there to be in a position to fight any of the champions or top contenders in the division. This fight is definitely going to steal the show.
“I’m focused. My mind is clear. This fight right here gets me excited. We’re two Ohio fighters with history – I’ve got a chip on my shoulder. It’s going to be an action-packed fight and I’m going to bring it. I’m not really surprised that Easter says he doesn’t see much difficulty in fighting me. I kind of expected him to say that. Easter is Easter.
“It’s going to be very important that I let my hands go against Easter. I feel that this fight is going to have so much action. I’m clear minded. Jestem gotowy. Sobotnia noc, we’re going to get in there and let it fly.
“Words can’t explain how excited and anxious I am for this, to tell you the truth. I’m just so ready for Saturday night. I’m ready to get the weigh-in over with, get under the lights on Saturday night and put on a show. It’s going to be an entertaining fight. A lot of people are saying a lot of things about me based on the Josh Taylor fight. Tak, it’s kind of like I’m battling two things.
“Easter just needs to come with it on Saturday night. I always knew this fight with Robert Easter was going to happen. I don’t know why, but I just always knew that we would meet again in the ring. I think it’s because we were both in Ohio – he was in Toledo and I was in Cleveland – and I just always thought I’d get this fight. I just didn’t think it would happen like this in a bubble.”

Jaron Ennis przeciwko. Chris van Heerden zadeklarował brak decyzji po przypadkowym uderzeniu głową; Gary Antonio Russell zdobył techniczne zwycięstwo nad Juanem Carlosem Payano Kliknij TUTAJ na zdjęciach z Amandą Westcott / SHOWTIME (Zdjęcia zostaną wkrótce przesłane) Uncasville, Conn. - Grudzień 20, 2020 - niepokonany koguci Reymart Gaballo zdobył kontrowersyjne zwycięstwo w wyniku niejednoznacznej decyzji nad byłym mistrzem świata Emmanuel Rodriguez w głównym wydarzeniu sobotniego wieczoru SHOWTIMEBOXING: SPECJALNA EDYCJA z Mohegan Sun Arena w Uncasville, Conn., w wydarzeniu prezentowanym przez Premier Boxing Champions. Ze zwycięstwa, Gaballo odebrał wolny tymczasowy tytuł WBC wagi koguciej.
Sobotni headliner ostatniego wydarzenia SHOWTIME BOXING w 2020 był konkurencyjny od pierwszego dzwonka. Tylko w trzech z dwunastu rund Rodriguez i Gaballo byli oddzieleni więcej niż trzema ciosami. Ogólny, Kawałki (24-0, 20 KO) rzucił 148 więcej ciosów niż Rodriguez (19-2, 12 KO), ale nadal udało mi się połączyć 16 mniej uderzeń mocy. Uderzenia 28-letniego Rodrigueza wydawały się czystsze, gdy niejednokrotnie kołysał filipińskim Gaballo. Jednak, Dwóch sędziów faworyzowało agresję Gaballo nad generałami Rodrigueza w ringu.
Nieoficjalny strzelec SHOWTIME Steve Farhood zaliczył walkę 118-110 na korzyść Rodrigueza i analityka SHOWTIME, byłego mistrza świata Raula Marqueza, był skonsternowany decyzją sędziów.
„Nie ma mowy, żeby Gaballo mógł wygrać tę walkę,- powiedział Marquez. „W najgorszym przypadku, mogłeś mu dać trzy rundy. Nie dałem mu żadnych obchodów ”.
„Jestem bardzo szczęśliwy i błogosławiony, że zdobyłem ten pas,”Powiedział 24-letni Gaballo. „Zawsze szedłem do przodu i kontrolowałem tempo, więc pomyślałem, że to była zacięta walka, którą każdy z nas mógł wygrać.
„Czekam, aż mój zespół powie mi, co zaplanowali dla mnie w następnej kolejności. I’m going to keep training hard so I’m always ready for the opportunity when it comes.”
„To była dobra walka, but he only won about two or three rounds,” said Rodriguez. “There were two punches from me for every punch he landed. He knows he lost. Everyone knows we won. My team told me to go out and keep boxing him in the late rounds. We knew he needed a knockout in the twelfth round. That was his only chance to win.”
W przypadku co-main, Philadelphia’s undefeated welterweight sensationJaron Ennis (26-0, 24 KO) saw his impressive 16-fight knockout streak come to a disappointing end after an accidental headbutt in the first round caused a brutal cut to the forehead of his opponent, Chris van Heerden (28-2-1, 12 KO). Watch the clash of headsTUTAJ: https://twitter.com/ShowtimeBoxing/status/1340495823474442240
With only two minutes and thirty-nine seconds inside the ring to showcase his skills, Po wylądowaniu Ennis wciąż był w stanie rzucić okiem na swój mistrzowski potencjał 22 z 57 stemple, 19 z nich to potężne strzały, gdy wydawał się być przeznaczony do zatrzymania południowoafrykańskiego van Heerdena i utrzymania przy życiu swojej passy KO przed zderzeniem głów.
„Jeszcze przed uderzeniem w głowę zraniłem go i poczułem się silny,- powiedział rozczarowany Ennis. „Wiedziałem, że jest gotowy do drogi. Czuję, że jestem coraz lepszy. Teraz po prostu wrócę na siłownię. Jak widać od pierwszej rundy, Z łatwością sobie z nim radziłem. Czuję, że wszyscy wciąż na mnie śpią, ale jestem gotowy na każdego. Przynieś wielkie nazwiska ”.
W otwieracza transmitowane, zawodnik wagi koguciej Gary Antonio Russell (18-0, 12 KO) zachował nienaruszony rekord dzięki technicznym zwycięstwom nad byłym mistrzem świata Juan Carlos Payano (21-5, 9 KO). Po przypadkowym uderzeniu głową spowodowało poważne skaleczenie na lewym czole Payano, sędzia David Fields przerwał walkę po szóstej rundzie za radą lekarza z ringu. Walka poszła na karty wyników, gdzie Russell prowadził we wszystkich trzech kartach (58-56, 59-55, 59-55).
Przed kontuzją, Russell i Payano byli zaangażowani w bójkę, w której doszło do wielu wymian ciosów. W ostatnich sekundach szóstego, i ostatecznie runda finałowa, Russell złapał Payano kontr-strzałem, który zranił Payano. Russell wylądował 86 z 243 ciosy, podczas gdy Payano właśnie wylądował 58 z 268 stemple. Russell błysnął doskonałą pracą ciała przez całą walkę, lądowanie Payano 40 do 17 na ujęciach ciała.

Unbeaten Interim WBA Super Featherweight Champion Colbert Battles Hard-Hitting Arboleda in Main Event Live on SHOWTIME® w sobotę, Grudzień 12
NEW YORK – Grudzień 8, 2020 – Unbeaten interim WBA Super Featherweight ChampionChris „Primetime” Colbert will look to make a statement in his first nationally televised main event as he faces hard-hittingJaime Arboleda live on SHOWTIME this Saturday, Grudzień 12 w 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn.
“I always knew I was going to get here,- powiedział Colbert. “It’s all God’s plan. This is just going to be another day for me and I’ll show everyone why I’m one of the best 130-pounders in the world.”
The 24-year-old Colbert has shot up the rankings of the 130-pound weight class and believes that a victory on Saturday night will lead to bigger opportunities in the jam-packed division.
“This is one of the most stacked divisions in boxing and I love competing in it,- powiedział Colbert. “It’s great to be getting noticed in a division that has this much talent, and hopefully it’ll lead to me getting the big fights that I need. I don’t feel like there’s any certain fighter I’m targeting, but Gervonta Davis, Leo Santa Cruz and Jamel Herring would all be great fights for me. Beating them would help me become ‘the guy’ in the division.”
Colbert’s rise continued in his last fight, as he scored a 10th-round knockdown against former champion Jezreel Corrales on his way to a decision win while showing an impressive array of skills against a fighter determined to slow the action through holding and other veteran tricks.
“Against Corrales I learned not to rush,- powiedział Colbert. “It’s not a sprint, it’s a marathon. I can’t just go rush in there and expect everyone to get knocked out. I had to take my time, do what I do best and stick to my game plan.”
In the 26-year-old Arboleda, Colbert will be presented with another rising 130-pound contender with his own sights set on emerging amongst the elite in the division. Arboleda has won five of his last six fights by stoppage and most recently dropped Jayson Velez on his way to a decision victory in February on SHOWTIME.
“Come December 12, Jestem gotowy na wszystko, cokolwiek wam przynosi,- powiedział Colbert. “I expect him to bring pressure and ‘try’ to make me tired because that’s the only chance he has. He can’t outbox me. That’s not happening. But I love to bang inside and I’m ready for whatever he does. I hope he doesn’t run or clinch me because I’d love to get the knockout and get him out of there early.”
The Brooklyn-native Colbert has continued to work with his longtime coach Aureliano Sosa in his hometown through the difficulties of the pandemic. Those difficulties have led to Colbert sparring with larger welterweight and super welterweights in camp, which Colbert believes could help him with the power Arboleda will bring into the fight.
“Training camp has been going great for the most part,- powiedział Colbert. “It’s just been a little hard finding sparring partners. But because it’s been difficult to find fighters at my weight I’ve actually been sparring with 147 and 154-pound fighters. I honestly love that because it prepares me better, and who’s to say that Arboleda won’t have power like them? I’m on weight now, chociaż, and ready to put on a show on December 12.”

“I truly believe I am the best up and coming fighter in the game”
Unbeaten Rising Super Lightweight Prospect Hitchins Battles Former Champion Argenis Méndez In Co-Main Event Live on SHOWTIME® w sobotę, Grudzień 12 Kliknij TUTAJ na zdjęciach z Mayweather Promotions NEW YORK – Grudzień 7, 2020 – Niepokonany rośnie perspektywa Richardson Hitchins shared details of his training camp, including pointers and motivation he received from Floyd Mayweather and Gervonta Davis, ahead of his super lightweight showdown against former world championArgenis Méndezlive on SHOWTIME this Saturday, Grudzień 12 w 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn.
“Floyd helped me tremendously while I was back in Las Vegas,- powiedział Hitchins. “I already have the fundamentals as a fighter, but he showed me little things here and there and workouts that I have taken back home with me while I train for this fight. I’m not shy about my ability as a fighter, because I truly believe I am the best up and coming fighter in the game, so these are the kind of fights I need in order to show the world who Richardson Hitchins is.
“Gervonta has been instrumental in past fight camps as well, and he’s the type of person you need. He pushes you to go harder. We go head-to-head in trying to outdo each other, and that’s the type of competition that’s needed in order to really be the best.”
Despite training throughout the pandemic, Hitchins has been able to remain on task and on track throughout his camp that began in Las Vegas before ending in his native Brooklyn under the guidance of his head coach Lenny Wilson.
“The thing about me is, I’m focused no matter what,- powiedział Hitchins. “I don’t take ‘off’ after my fights. I stay in shape all year round; I don’t need to get ready in terms of conditioning or getting my body back in shape because this is my job. I take my job very seriously. The discipline Floyd has had throughout his career is the same discipline I have. I have watched my idols and taken things from them so that I can put myself in a position to win.
“I don’t think the pandemic or the holidays necessarily altered my training. I still have access to my gym. There’s nothing that’s going to stand in my way of becoming great. The pandemic doesn’t slow me down, it’s just another roadblock to test my dedication to the sport.”
The 23-year-old Hitchins represented Haiti at the 2016 Olympic Games and will return to the ring after debuting in 2020 with a 10-round decision victory over Nicholas DeLomba in February. It was Hitchins’ second 10-round decision win after his previous fight saw him best Kevin Johnson following 10 rounds in November 2019.
“I often think back to my fight against Kevin Johnson, he’s a tough fighter and he’s the one who I can confidently say brought the best out of me,- powiedział Hitchins. “Those are the fights that make me look back and watch closely the things I need to work on. That fight also showed me that no one should be overlooked, so going into this fight against Mendez, I’m not overlooking him.”
Méndez presents the most accomplished opponent of Hitchins’ young career. The 34-year-old former champion most recently fought Juan Heraldez and Anthony Peterson to draws in 2019, and scored victories over Eddie Ramirez and Ivan Redkach prior to that. For Hitchins, the strong resume of his opponent is something he relishes as a measuring stick for his progress.
“He’s a veteran, he’s been in there with a lot of tough guys and he’s a former world champion, so he clearly has a skill set that I think I need to face at this point in my career,- powiedział Hitchins. “I need those big fights. He’s older now, but I feel like him in his prime still couldn’t touch my skillset. It’s my job to prove that.
“I know this won’t be an easy fight, but I’ll be prepared for whatever he brings. My motivation is to be more than ordinary. I will fulfill my goals when this is all said and done, and honestly, I’m just waiting for this fight to come so I can show that. Whether it’s Méndez, or whoever, the conviction I have and how I feel about myself is stronger than anything standing in front of me in that ring.”

Oto, co we wtorek mieli do powiedzenia uczestnicy konferencji prasowej:
ERROL SPENCE JR.
“Czuję się błogosławiony i gotowy do drogi. Czuję, że jestem 100% fizycznie. Ciężko trenowaliśmy i byliśmy skupieni. Nie mogę się doczekać, aby dać moim rodzinnym fanom coś do kibicowania, kiedy bronię swojego tytułu przed wielkim przeciwnikiem.
“Nie chciałem żadnych poprawek. Chciałem kogoś, kto jest twardy i który mógłby popchnąć mnie do granic możliwości, więc mogę wrócić do bycia Errol Spence Jr. Mam zamiar dać wspaniały występ i usłyszeć „i nadal’ w grudniu 5.
“Wybrałem Danny'ego Garcię, żeby stanąć na wysokości zadania. Nadal jestem najlepszym psem w dywizji. Walka z Dannym pokaże, jak wielkim jestem wojownikiem.
“Tata Danny'ego podnieca mnie, mówiąc o jego synu, rzucanie ciosów i odbieranie mi pasów. Więc będę gotowy na wszystko, co Danny przyniesie na ring. Nie mam zamiaru wdawać się w żadne gry głowy, takie jak Shawn Porter. Walczyłem w grze Shawna i pokonałem go w jego własnej grze. Wiem, że Angel chce, żebym tam stał i bił się z Dannym, ale zrobię, co muszę, aby wygrać walkę.
“To ode mnie zależy, czy po wypadku samochodowym zrobię wielki plusk. Pomniejsi przeciwnicy byli dla mnie, zanim zostałem mistrzem. Wreszcie dotarłem na szczyt, gdzie mogę walczyć z wielkimi nazwiskami, więc nie cofam się. To są faceci, z którymi chciałem walczyć od zawsze.
“Zdecydowanie więcej uczę się z wygranych Danny'ego. Ma wiele wspaniałych zwycięstw. Wiele się nauczysz z różnego rodzaju walk. Jestem uczniem gry i fanem sportu. W każdym razie wszystko, co robię, to oglądać boks. Więc dobrze znam zwycięstwa i przegrane Danny'ego.
“Wypadek sprawił, że stałem się bardziej głodny i jeszcze bardziej skoncentrowany. Mam teraz taki sam głód, jaki miałem przed zdobyciem tytułu. Przyjeżdżam do obozu dużo lżej i to pomaga mi mieć jeszcze lepszy obóz.
“Jestem mistrzem, i na koniec dnia, Mogę po prostu walczyć. Kiedy dotrze do drutu, Wiem, jak kopać głęboko i wyjść na górę.
“To wszystko znaczy walczyć w domu, zwłaszcza gdy wszyscy przechodzą pandemię. Chcę tylko, żeby każdy, kto wyjdzie, był bezpieczny i przestrzegał protokołów, i uczynimy z tego wspaniałą noc.”
DANNY GARCIA
“Obóz szedł świetnie. Moja waga jest dobra i czuję, że wyprzedziliśmy harmonogram. Teraz bierzemy to tylko jeden dzień na raz. Cieszę się, że mogę znów walczyć o tytuł.
“W grudniu 5, żaden kamień nie zostanie odwrócony. Zamierzamy to dać 110% i odebrać mu te tytuły w jego rodzinnym mieście.
“Byłem przegrany przez całą swoją karierę. Przywykłem do odgrywania tej roli. Po prostu muszę tam wejść i być sobą. Muszę wierzyć w siebie 100% i walcz z każdej rundy. Mam zamiar pokazać, z czego zbudowany jest prawdziwy mistrz.
“Po walce Garcii i Portera, Widziałem kilka dziur w jego grze i wiedziałem, że będzie to dobra okazja, aby ponownie zostać mistrzem. Tego typu walki wydobywają z Danny'ego Garcia to, co najlepsze. Dają mi dodatkową motywację, której potrzebuję i dlatego tego chciałem.
“Myślałem, że Spence był większym i lepszym graczem przeciwko Mikey'owi Garcii. Mikey ma świetne umiejętności, ale Errol był duży i puścił ręce. To sprawiło, że Mikey zamarł, więc nie podjął żadnego ryzyka. Udało mu się wywalić kilka dobrych przeciwników, i to są rzeczy, które biorę pod uwagę podczas tego obozu.
“Moja praca polega na walce. Nie mogę tam wejść i martwić się o sędziów. Zrobią to, co robią. Moim zadaniem jest pracować na siłowni, żeby być gotowym na walkę. Muszę tam wejść, wygrać rundy i wygrać walkę.
“Wiem, że jestem świetnym wojownikiem. Brałem już udział w tego typu walkach. Wiem, z czego jestem zrobiony. Tak długo, jak jestem w najlepszej formie psychicznie i fizycznie, nikt nie może mnie pokonać. Jestem niebezpiecznym człowiekiem, kiedy się na tym skupiam.
“Podejmujemy tę walkę tak jak Errol 100%. Nie liczymy na coś, co go utrudnia. Traktujemy to tak poważnie, jak to tylko możliwe. Chcieliśmy tej walki dawno temu, ale po prostu musieliśmy być skupieni. Teraz walka wreszcie się rozpoczęła i czuję, że będziemy mieli świetny występ.
“Wierzę, że wszystko robię świetnie. Mogę walić do środka i do pudełka. Dlatego jestem trzykrotnym mistrzem świata. Zmierzyłam się z każdym możliwym do wyobrażenia stylem i wyszłam na szczyt.”
Derrick James, Spence'a Trainer
“Obóz treningowy był naprawdę dobry. Ciężko pracujemy od marca. Wszystko zbiega się aż do grudnia 5. Nie spieszyliśmy się i był to stopniowy proces dotarcia do tego punktu. Był już w formie, gdy zaczął się ten obóz, więc mieliśmy świetną przewagę.
“Nawet kiedy Errol wracał do swojego rytmu, nadal dobrze wyglądał. Ale widać było poprawę dzień po dniu, kiedy czuł się bardziej komfortowo po powrocie. Wszyscy zobaczą w grudniu 5 który Errol Spence Jr. naprawdę jest.
“Wspaniale jest móc walczyć u siebie z zawodnikiem takim jak Danny. Doskonałe wyniki zbudują legendę Errola, a jego akcje będą nadal rosnąć. Errol zawsze był w stanie walczyć przed fanami swojego rodzinnego miasta. Kochamy wszystko, co przynosi nam miasto i karmimy się tą energią na ringu.”
ANGEL GARCIA, Ojciec Garcii & Trener
“W obozie wszystko było idealne. Możesz teraz zobaczyć, jak dobrze wygląda. Danny byłby gotowy jutro, gdybyśmy musieli. To będzie wspaniała noc dla mnie i Danny'ego. Nie zabieram niczego nikomu, ale zamierzamy odebrać te tytuły.
“Nigdy nie patrzę na taśmy przeciwnika z poprzednich walk. Nie będziemy się z tego niczego nauczyć. Kiedy trenuję Danny'ego, Skupiam się na Dannym. Wiem tylko, jak ulepszyć Danny'ego. Mamy zamiar podyktować walkę i stanąć na czele Errola. Nie będziemy walczyć tak jak Mikey Garcia i biegać całą noc.
“Tym razem, nie zostawimy tego w ocenie sędziów’ ręce. Zdecydowaliśmy się walczyć z nim w Dallas. Danny wykonał ten telefon. Na koniec dnia, Danny musi tam po prostu wejść i zrobić swoje.”
TOM BROWN, Prezes TGB Promocje
“Errol Spence Jr. vs. Danny Garcia to jedna z najbardziej intrygujących walk tego roku i to walka, która zadecyduje o tym, kto jest najlepszym zawodnikiem na świecie..
“To będzie niesamowita noc boksu i będzie to dom najlepszej profesjonalnej serii sportowej na świecie, AT&Stadion T.. To idealny gospodarz na pojedynek z dwoma wojownikami u szczytu kariery, oboje gotowi do wystawienia na szali swojego dziedzictwa.
“Spence to jeden z najczęściej omawianych zawodników w tym sporcie. Wielu uważa go za najlepszego wojownika na świecie, i nie bez powodu. Chce być wyzwany i to jest rodzaj walki, która podnosi nasz sport.
“Danny Garcia jest wojownikiem przeszłości. Jest jednym z najbardziej utalentowanych i sprawdzonych w walce zawodników w naszym sporcie. Co on zrobił 140 funtów, przed przejściem w górę, był po prostu niesamowity. Połączenie tych dwóch elementów przywoła wspomnienia wielkich bitew wagi półśredniej z przeszłości.”
