This week Martinez and his protégé, “JonFer,” spoke to SHOWTIME Sports about what the future might hold for the 130-pound prospect.

 

SERGIO “MARAVILLA” MARTINEZ:

How would you describe Jon Fernandez’s style?

“I believe that JonFer is a very well-rounded, complete fighter. He can take advantage of his great wingspan and reach but has no problem fighting in close distance. יתר על כן, he’s hitting really hard. I believe we’ll see him fighting with big names in the division soon.

 

“JonFer has a classic boxing style—a classic, orthodox style. He’s effective when he’s attacking as well as defending. He poses a vision and a combat insight that is truly amazing. Not only does he have speed and precision, but he also has potential in his fists. אבל, the best characteristic that JonFer possesses is his great professionalism in the sport and in his personal life.”

 

What would you say is different in Jon compared to other boxers in the division?

“His head, he is very mature for his age. In that sense, he reminds me of myself. He is very serious when he’s working and always looking to improve.

 

“He has a stupendous perception of the errors his rivals make. He knows how to read the battle and knows when and how to define a fight. I believe that the more fights and time go by, JonFer will establish himself at the top level alongside the top boxers in the world.”

 

As Jon develops, what plans do you have for him?

“To continue with the hard work like we have to this date. I respect every step in his career. I’d like for JonFer to continue training and preparing himself for what can be a bright and stupendous future.”

 

Who do you want him to fight – Jesus Cuellar, אורלנדו Salido, Gervonta דייוויס, ז'וזה Pedraza, קרל פרמפטון?

“All of the names mentioned are already great champions. They are all owed their due respect and it would be an honor, not only for Jonfer but for Maravilabox to have the possibility of making fight with any of them.

 

“Jose Pedraza would be a great test. We’d really like to make that fight happen. JonFer has sparred with Frampton before his rematch with Santa Cruz and we know he was up to the challenge. וכמובן, we would love to go for the world title against Gervonta Davis and think it would be a great fight. A clash of styles.”

What belts do you want him to go for first?

“First, we’d like him to set a good base. The best for us is to continue building his career step by step and for him to continue learning and adapting himself bit by bit to the top level. As we continue making fights happen, there will be more opportunities for international and world titles. The goal is to get JonFer to become a WBC champion, the most important entity.

 

“We would be really excited to be able to win the European championship, but we’re ready to fight anyone. All of the belts are important and provide experience.”

 

What would you see as the ideal next step for JonFer in the next few years?

“Ideally we want to keep him at a weight in which he feels the most comfortable. As fights and time go by, if he needs to go up in weight, he’d do so without a problem. It’s possible for him to end up fighting in superior divisions, but for now we are focused on 130 and I think he can still battle at this weight for several years.”

 

Can you name who you think are the top five active boxers today?

“I really like Errol Spence Jr., he has a great style that I feel is like mine was. Canelo [אלוורז] ו [גנאדי] Golovkin are two of my favorites as well, they’ll put on a great fight. אנדרה וורד, Jorge Linares… There is a lot of talent in the sport at the moment.

What memories of Steve Farhood and Barry Tompkins stand out to you?

“Yes, כמובן, I have some great moments of my years in the United States and I remember Steve always in front of the SHOWTIME cameras. He is a great professional.

 

“He is one of the highest-regarded boxing writers in the world. He is a man with a young mentality who knows how to appreciate good boxing.

 

“Barry Tompkins is a prestigious commentator and what I remember the most about him is seeing him commentate on fights in the era of Tyson and J.C. צ'אבס. To be a commentator of that stature then, he had to be an excellent professional.”

 

What would you say is the best (and worst) part about being a promoter?

“To be a promoter is thrilling. I believe that taking the career of the boxers in your hands must be treated like it’s your own life. It’s a true adventure. I can’t find a negative thing to say about being a promoter.”

 

Do you miss being a boxer?

“To this day I can say that I do not have any desire to return to the ring. My last fights were torturous and I still have problems with my knee to the date as I try to go about my daily life. I continue to train an hour each day and continue to love boxing, but now I prefer watching the youngsters like Jon and help them with my experience.”

 

JON “JONFER” FERNANDEZ:

Can you tell us what it is like for you to work with someone like Sergio Martinez?

“It’s great, Sergio is always very attentive and a mirror to watch yourself in. Like an athlete, he was one of the greats, but as a person he is even better. Maravillabox Promotions is composed of thorough professionals and the way they treat me is excellent.”

 

How is your training going? Is your camp any different for this fight?

“I haven’t had too much time since my last fight, just about five weeks. It has been tough, but we were coming off of a much more difficult preparation in fighting for Spain’s world title. I think this will make for a great fight and the fans will have a lot of fun.”

 

What are your plans for the future? In your career, life, אגרוף, in the next five years…

“I just got married in April and it was a great experience, the happiest day of my life. I would love to have kids soon. As far as boxing goes, of course I’d like to be a world champion. But first I’d like to go for the European title. I’d like to fight against the best prospects in the division and continuing to make great fights. I will be a world champion one day, I know I can get there.”

Who would you say is your all-time favorite boxer?

“I can’t just say one, I have several. סרחיו מרטינס, ברור ש. I also really like Terrance Crawford and Juan Manuel Marquez. Out of the boxing legends, I’ll stick to Alexis Arguello.”

Cowart vs. DeLomba headlines Broadway Boxing Thursday, שבע. 1st at Foxwoods Resort Casino

להשאיר תגובה
Mashantucket, CT (נִשׂגָב 11, 2016) –
ברודווי אגרוף, presented by DiBella Entertainment, returns Thursday night, ספטמבר 1, to the Premier Ballroom at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, קונטיקט.
Lightweight prospects עמוס “2 חלק” Cowarלא (11-1-1, 9 קוס) ו “Nice” ניק דלומבה (10-1, 2 קוס) will throw-down in the eight-round main event.
“Foxwoods has become a terrific venue for Broadway Boxing and I am thrilled to deliver this lightweight crossroads battle between two once-beaten prospects as the main event,” אמר לו DiBella, נשיא DiBella בידור. “Cowart fought well in his ShoBox appearance last year, but he will be returning to his natural weight class on September 1. Moving past his hometown confines for only the second time as a pro, we will see if DeLomba is ready to elevate his career to the world stage.”
A native Floridian from Groveland, Cowart (בתמונה למעלה) is coming off his first loss as a professional, suffered just over one year ago in Atlantic City. התקף, televised live as part of Showtime’s ShoBox: הדור החדש סדרה, saw the hard-hitting Cowart move up in weight to challenge fellow undefeated prospect Regis Prograis. Cowart went on to lose a very entertaining eight-round decision to the still undefeated contender Prograis, who was chosen as one of this year’s ESPN.com’s “Prospects to Watch”. Following the loss, Cowart was forced to sit on the sidelines as he nursed an injury suffered in the bout. Now back and fully healthy, Cowart is dropping down in weight and looking to make some noise in the 135 קילו. החלוקה.
“The bout with Prograis was a good learning experience, but I am not a 140-pounder,” said Cowart. “I took the fight because it was an opportunity to perform on national TV, and I believe I gave a good showing of what I am capable of doing. I am back now at my comfortable weight and know that I have what it takes to compete against the best up-and-coming guys in this division. DeLomba is the hometown boy. I know that he is going to have the crowd behind him, but once that bell rings, it’s just him and me in that ring, and I plan on putting on a spectacular performance as I get my career back underway and moving toward the top.”
DeLomba, the reigning New England super lightweight champion, has been favorably compared at this stage of his young career to another Italian fighter from the same Rhode Island city of Cranston, in two-division world champion ויני פז. DeLomba is expected to have a partisan hometown crowd behind him and will be looking to make a statement against the once-beaten Cowart.
“This is a huge fight for me at this stage of my career,” said DeLomba. “Cowart’s only loss is to Prograis and he is considered one of the best young 140-pounders in all of boxing. If I can beat Cowart more convincingly, that is a major statement. I am not only going to be the bigger guy in the ring on fight night, but I am the better boxer. He is coming off a year layoff, and I know that he is eager to get back in that ring, but this is the biggest fight of my career, and I plan on putting on a show come September 1.”
Belgium super featherweight Dardan Zenunaj (12-1, 9 קוס), איגוד האיגרוף העולמי לשעבר (WBA) International champion, and undefeated Cuban amateur standoutלואיס “האריה” גרסיה (14-0, 11 קוס), fighting out of Peekskill, ניו יורק, are also scheduled to be in action on the Sept. 1 ברודווי אגרוף card in separate eight-round bouts.

"One Time" ו- "Showtime" נמסרו כפי שפורסם, עם הקליפ החזק החזק את פורטר מספר פעמים, ואילו פורטר הרוחש והמתנפף התגלגל קדימה כדי להציק לת'ורמן לחבלים. ולמרות שלא היו דפיקות, שובר הקופות קדימה ואחורה מעולם לא חסר פעולה והגיע לשיאה בקריאה באירוע האיגרוף השני שנכח ביותר בהיסטוריה של מרכז ברקליס.

 

“אני רוצה להודות לשון פורטר על מאבק אדיר. הוא לוחם נהדר,אמר תורמן. "הגנה היא המפתח לניצחון. הוא סופג את מכותיו הרבה ומקשה על השופטים להבקיע. הצלחתי לנדנד אותו בבהירות, מכות יעילות ואני מאמין שזה היה ההבדל היום.

 

"הייתי נותן לו משחק חוזר. זה היה קרב נהדר. הוא היה יריב גדול. כולם אמרו שהוא יהיה היריב הכי קשה שלי עד היום. לא הצלחתי להפיל אותו אבל אבדל אותו כמה פעמים. "

אלוף העולם לשעבר פורטר, ג'נדרמן אנדרדוג רב שנתי אך מלא, לא התלונן על היותו בקצה ההפסד של ההחלטה הצמודה השנייה שלו בתחרות.

 

"עבדנו קשה, קית 'הוא אלוף גדול,אמר פורטר. "אבא שלי אומר להחזיק את הראש למעלה. אני חושב שאני ניצחתי את הקרב, אבל אני מרוצה כי המתחרה יצא הלילה.

 

“אנחנו צריכים את הגומלין הזה. אני יודע שהאוהדים רוצים את הגומלין הזה. אם הוא נותן לי הזדמנות נוספת, אני הולך לעבוד קשה בזירה ולעזוב עם התואר שלו.”

 

הקרב הפותח של מכשיר הטלוויזיה CBS הציג התאמה של משקלי סופר בלתי מנוצחים כמו ג'ארט Hurd סיים סיכוי למתמודד לגיטימי בכיתה המוערמת של 154 פאונד עם שליטה 10ה עגול TKO מעל אוסקר מולינה.

 

הרד (18-0, 12 קוס) התחלתי לעבוד מוקדם, ריצוף מולינה בפעם הראשונה בקריירה שלו בסיבוב הפתיחה עם סיבוב נגד ימין חזק. ככל שהרד גדול וגבוה יותר היה הלוחם הפעיל יותר מלכתחילה, לפרק את האולימפיאדה המקסיקנית שטרם הובסה עם משחק פנים יעיל במיוחד. הרד זרק כמעט 750 מכה מעל 10 סיבובים, לעומת רק 376 למולינה, חיבור על 220 יריות כוח כמעט 40 קליפ אחוז.

 

הרד הטביע חותמת על הופעתו בסיבוב האחרון, לסגור את המופע על ידי הנחתת מולינה 33-7 בסיבוב האחרון. כשמולינה חוטפת מכות אכזריות ולכאורה חסרת הגנה בדקה האחרונה של הסיבוב האחרון, ריקי גונזלס נכנס לעצור את התחרות ב 2:02.

 

“זה בהחלט ניצחון גדול לקריירה שלי,אמר הרד. "הוא צילם הרבה יריות, אבל הוא ידע לשרוד. זה היה סופר גדול שהפיל אותו בסיבוב הראשון. אנשים יודעים מהקרב האחרון שלי שיש לי אותיות גדולות. הוא נפגע כמה פעמים. אני לא חושב שזו הייתה עצירה גרועה. מולינה הוא בחור קשוח מאוד שפשוט המשיך לעבור.

 

“המאבק הזה כאן מעלה אותי עם המתמודדות הבכירות בחטיבה. הרגשתי שיכולתי ללכת עוד שלושה-ארבעה סיבובים. התחזקתי ככל שהקרב נמשך. אנחנו חוזרים מיד לחדר הכושר כדי שנוכל להיכנס לשם שוב.”

 

מולינה (13-1-1, 10 קוס) מחה, אך לאחר חסימת נוקאאוט מדהימה הוא היה במרחק שניות ספורות מההפסד הראשון בקריירה שלו באמצעות החלטה פה אחד.

 

“הרגשתי שהורד זורק הרבה אגרופים בסיבוב העשירי אבל הם לא ממש פגעו בי,אמרה מולינה. "הוא נשאר עסוק אבל הוא אף פעם לא ממש פגע בי.

 

“הלכתי נמוך והיה לי ראש למטה והוא תפס אותי בסיבוב הראשון בסיבוב הראשון. הוא קיבל אותי עם זריקה שלא ציפיתי לה אבל זה בהחלט היה מציאת פלאש. לא נפגעתי.

 

“הייתי אמור להשתמש בעבודת הרגליים שלי הרבה יותר, אבל בסופו של דבר חנקתי את הזריקות שלי. הייתה לו הגנה מביכה עם הרבה כיפוף ולא יכולתי להיכנס לקצב.

 

“זו הייתה הזדמנות גדולה עבורי והרגשתי שנלחמתי במאבק טוב. אני הולך לחזור חזק יותר. אנחנו הולכים לעבוד על הרבה דברים ונחזור לשם.”

מוקדם יותר בערב ב- SHOWTIME, תחושת משקל כבד בלתי מנוצחת אנתוני ג'ושוע הגן בהצלחה לראשונה על אליפות העולם שלו במשקל כבד IBF עם נוקאאוט בסיבוב השביעי של דומיניק בריזייל האמריקני שלא הובס בעבר ב- O2 בלונדון. VIDEO: http://s.sho.com/28VGgsa

 

להלן ציטוטים של יהושע לאחר יום שבת ניצחון ב- SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL:

 

רבים חשבו שדומיניק בריזל לא יוכל לעמוד בכוחך ובמהירותך, אבל האם היית אסיר תודה על ההזדמנות לעבוד קצת יותר מכישורי האיגרוף שלך?

"נו, זה קשה כי אתה יכול לראות שהם נפגעים מכל זריקה – ובכן לא כל זריקה – אבל כשאתה מתחיל לתפוס אותם שוטפים, הם יכולים לחוש את הצילומים עם כפפות עשר האונקיות האלה. אז, זה רק עניין של זמן, אבל תוך כדי כך לא רציתי לקבל שום חצבים בדרך חזרה.

 

"זה היה קשה שהיו לי חופשות של שבועיים אחרי הקרב האחרון שלי, וחזרתי ישר לחדר הכושר אז זה היה קשה. אני מקבל הפסקה קטנה ונחמדה פעם אחת ואז אוכל לחזור עם סוללות טעונות.”

 

אנו יודעים שדונטיי ווילדר צפה בקרב. יש לך הודעה בשבילו, אלוף ה- WBC?

“אדם השראה לא יאומן. הוא היה סבלני, 30-קרבות מוזרים [ו] הושיט את ידיו ל- WBC [חֲגוֹרָה]. אני הולך בעקבותיו. אני עושה את דרכי לארה"ב. עם SHOWTIME שמגבה גם אותי. אז, הוא צפה בזה.

 

“הוא יכול לאסוף את כל מה שהוא רוצה להרים מזה, אבל זה כל כך שונה כשאתה בזירה זה עם זה. אז יום אחד נזכה לחוות על מה זה.”

 

עם מי אתה רוצה להילחם אחר כך?

“ובכן אני חושב שזה יהיה חייב להיות כזה של [יוסף] פארקר. באמת הסתכלתי על זעם ... אני מקווה שהוא ישתפר בקרוב. הוא פגע בקרסולו למרבה הצער, שדחה את זה כי קיוויתי לקבל את זה קצת בחורף אם הכל ילך כשורה 9 ביולי כמו שזה עשההלילה, אבל נצטרך לתזמן את זה ובינתיים, אנחנו יכולים להסתכל על יריבים אחרים כמו פארקר, אם הוא פנוי, או כל אחד אחר שהעם רוצה.”

 

מה אתה חושב שאתה עדיין צריך לעבוד על?

"מנוחה. אני צריך לנוח. אני עייף, אני עובד קשה וכמו שאמרתי, עכשיו אני יכול להשיג

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

TOP WELTERWEIGHTS: THURMAN-PORTER WINNER TOO CLOSE TO CALL

זה יום שבת, יוני 25, Live in Primetime at 9 p.m. ו/6 p.m. PT על הלשכה המרכזית לסטטיסטיקה
לחץ כאן For PBC Fighter Prediction Video
NEW YORK (יוני 22, 2016) – Their peers in the welterweight division – אלופי עולם, former champions, contenders and top prospects – can’t pick a definitive winner between defending WBA 147-pound king קית ' “פעם אחת” תורמן (26-0, 22 קוס) ואלוף עולם לשעבר “ההצגה מתחילה” שון פורטר (26-1-1, 16 קוס).
The majority of the fighters polled – some of whom are potential opponents down the line for the winner – lean toward Thurman, but most all concede that יום שבת eagerly awaited main event of a SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® on CBS event, מוגש על ידי אלופי פרמייר באגרוף (9 p.m. ו/6 p.m. PT) at Barclays Center is going to be an intense, מְרַגֵשׁ, tight fight from start to finish that could go either way.
Here’s how the boxers see “Thurman vs. תלבש”:
דני גרסיה (WBC Welterweight Champion): “I think this is a great matchup. Thurman has the boxing ability and the movement while Shawn Porter is the aggressor and he’s going to bring the heat. To be honest with you it’s a 50-50 מאבק, but I would give the edge to Keith Thurman by a very close decision.”
קאל ברוק (IBF Welterweight Champion):”This is a great fight, one I can’t wait to watch. If Shawn can stick to his boxing I think he can become world champion again on points, but Keith is heavy-handed and he could walk Shawn onto one – it’s really a pick ’em fight for me.”
ארול ספנס Jr. (בלתי מנוצחת welterweight המועמדת): “I think this is a great fight between young fighters with good skill. Shawn throws a lot of punches while Thurman is a boxer who can punch too. I know Shawn will be aggressive and it should make for a great fight. If Keith can box and keep Shawn Porter on the outside I see Keith Thurman winning. If Shawn stays on the inside and stays in the chest of Keith, I see him winning.”
ברטו אחר (Former Welterweight Champion): “Shawn is going to come, but I think Keith will be on his toes and box but also drop hard shots as well when Shawn comes in. Keith can be very versatile in there and has a lot of great skills, while Shawn is more like a bull. Keith will hurt or knock Shawn down but will keep coming all night.”
Sammy Vazquez (בלתי מנוצחת welterweight המועמדת): “Shawn is a pressure fighter and Thurman used to be a pressure fighter but now he boxes. It’s really hard for me to decide who is going to come out on top. Thurman has good power. It all depends on how Shawn is able to take Thurman’s punches. I think Thurman because of the power but Shawn will bring it for 12 rounds.”
רוברט גררו (Former Welterweight Champion): “This is a fight the fans are going to love watching. Both Thurman and Porter bring exciting styles to the ring. I think if Porter can keep the fight on the inside he’ll have a better chance to come out victorious. But Keith Thurman is a very smart and powerful fighter and will make the right adjustments. I just think Thurman is going to outbox Porter. I’m picking Thurman to win by decision in a very tough fight.”
לואיס קולאזו (Former Welterweight Champion): “I’m not sure who the favorite is, but I’m going with Porter. I like his style and I think it’s going to be interesting to see how Thurman holds up with the pressure Porter is going to bring.”
דבון אלכסנדר (Former Welterweight Champion): “זה מאבק מאוד מרגש. Both fighters are come forward type fighters and they swing for the fences when they throw. I don’t know who will come out on top because they have similar styles. Shawn Porter has decent power, but out of the two Keith has the more power. נצטרך לראות. This is boxing.”

BROOKLYN (יוני 20, 2016) – An intriguing matchup between undefeated super welterweights Jarrett Hurd and Oscar Molina will open בשבת זו Primetime CBS broadcast from Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on CBS broadcast, מוגש על ידי אלופי פרמייר באגרוף, airs live at 9 p.m. ו/6 p.m. PT and is headlined by a welterweight blockbuster between undefeated champion Keith Thurman and once-beaten former titlist Shawn Porter.
The 10-round showdown between the 25-year-old Hurd (17-0, 11 קוס) and 26-year-old Molina (13-0-10 קוס) is a rare matchup between young undefeated prospects in one of boxing’s hottest divisions. The winner graduates to contender status in the stacked 154-pound class, a division featuring Erislandy Lara, Jermall and Jermell Charlo, Demetrius Andrade and Julian Williams.
Hurd vs. Molina represents the toughest professional fight for either man.
“The dictionary definition of ‘Swift’ is to happen quickly or promptly,” סעיד הרד. “So just like my ring name, that’s exactly what you’ll see ביום שבת לילה. I’m so grateful that this fight was made and that the whole world will be able to see my boxing skills on this highly anticipated card.”
“I’m excited for this fight and I’m grateful that it’s even bigger now that it’s on CBS,” סעיד מולינה. “I’ve seen Hurd fight. I know what he does well and what his weaknesses are and I’ll be looking to capitalize on them. It’s important for me to defeat the top guys and this is someone I have to beat to become a world champion one day. I’m excited about fighting in Brooklyn on the big stage, but my focus will be on my trainer’s game plan and coming out victorious.”
הרד, של Accokeek, מרילנד., just south of Washington, זֶרֶם יָשָׁר, has an unblemished record since turning professional in 2012. He is coming off a career-best performance last November with a six-round destruction of previously undefeated Frank Galarza on ShoBox: הדור החדש. הרד, who has never been down or cut as a professional, will be facing his third consecutive unbeaten opponent.
מולינה, של נורווק, קליפורניה., just east of Los Angeles, היה 2012 מקסיקני אולימפי. He tore through his opposition after turning professional in 2013, registering knockouts in 10 שלו 14 קרבות. מולינה, who has also never been down, is coming off a 10-round draw with fellow unbeaten highly regarded prospect Dominque Dolton last September. He returns to the ring בשבת קרובה against another undefeated opponent as he looks to make a statement in the 154-pound division.

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