ARLINGTON, TX. (Martie 17, 2019) – Errol Spence Jr. retained his IBF Welterweight World Championship in his hometown in front of 47,525 fans with a unanimous decision over four-division world champion Mikey Garcia in the main event of the first Premier Boxing Champions on FOX Sports Pay-Per-View event Saturday night from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

The motivation fighting in front of my hometown crowd made me feel great,” said Spence. “These people have supported me since day one and I wanted to put on a good performance for all of them.

I really appreciate the love and support of the fans tonight,” Said Garcia. “It’s a great night and all the credit to Errol, he’s a great champion. He’s the truth. He executed his game plan very well.

The bout started technical, with Spence pumping a consistent jab and attempting to cut the ring off while Garcia was patiently looking for a chance to counter. Garcia had some success early throwing counter left hooks over Spence’s jab, but was never able to get in a rhythm against the busier champion.

He came out here with a good game plan and kept the distance at his favor,” Said Garcia. “I couldn’t get my rhythm going and he did what he had to do. I tried to make adjustments and he kept executing.

În runda patru, Spence dominated most of the action before Garcia made a late surge and forced Spence into a defensive crouch for the final moments of the round. Garcia kept that energy going early in round five, putting Spence on the defensive temporarily before he regained his momentum and returned to connecting on powerful straight lefts.

Spence increased his body-punching as the fight went on and looked to wear down the fighter who was moving up in weight. Garcia began bleeding from his nose in round eight, at which point Spence increased his output and landed 35, 29, 34 și 25 punches in rounds nine through 12 respectiv, according to CompuBox.

Throughout training camp, a lot of commentators thought he was too smart and I couldn’t box as well as him,” said Spence. “I showed I can box and I can move my head if I want to. The game is to be smart, it’s the sweet science. I had the size and reach advantage, so why not use it to take away the jab? It’s a weapon for me and it takes away one of his weapons.

I was able to hold my own,” Said Garcia. “I felt good and I felt strong myself. I think he felt my power, but he definitely has power also.

While Garcia showed his mettle in making it the distance, Spence was simply too effective, with one judge even scoring round 11 10-8 for Spence. Spence threw a career-high 1082 punches and out landed Garcia by a staggering 345 pentru 75 margin.

After 12-rounds of action, all three judges saw the fight for Spence, de zeci de 120-108 de două ori și 120-107.

I give Mikey Garcia all the credit for taking this fight,” said Spence. “Mikey and I put on a great show in front of all these lovely fans. I respect him so much and I appreciate him for stepping up.

We just went 12-rounds with a great welterweight champion,” Said Garcia. “That’s a feat no one has done recently. I’m proud of what I was able to do. I have to go back and think about it. I will probably go back to lighter divisions but we’ll have to think about it.

După lupta, Spence declared that he wanted to fight boxing legend and welterweight titleholder Manny Pacquiao următorul, who entered the ring after the fight.

He’s broken records here before, he’s a legend in the sport and it’d be my honor to fight him next,” said Spence.

Da, why not?” said Pacquiao, when asked about facing Spence next. “We’ll give the fans a good fight. I’m so happy to be here at AT&T Stadium and I hope I will be back here soon.

În cazul în care co-principal, unbeaten former 168-pound world champion David Benavidez(21-0, 18 KO) dominate J'Leon Dragoste (24-3-1, 13 KO) to earn a second-round stoppage in their super middleweight matchup.

It’s a dream come true to fight on this stage in front of these fans,” said Benavidez. “These fans give me the motivation to get up every day and go the extra mile.

From the opening bell Love sought to crowd the taller Benavidez, but the 22-year-old Benavidez quickly made him pay, landing a powerful left hook that stunned Love. Love was able to last the round, but took more powerful hooks from Benavidez before the bell.

I expected to knock him out, but when I hit him with the first god shot, I knew he wasn’t going to last,” said Benavidez. “I tried to pace myself, but it wasn’t necessary tonight.

Benavidez wasted little time in the second round, delivering power shots that put Love on the run. Benavidez caught Love with a clean combo on the ropes that stunned Love and forced referee Laurence Cole to jump in and stop the bout 1:14 în runda a doua, as Benavidez began to throw furious combos.

He was getting his shots off, but I don’t think I was taking too much punishment,” said Love. “I wasn’t out of the game completely but he did catch me with a couple good shots.

După meciul, Benavidez set his sights on WBC Super Middleweight Champion Anthony Dirrell, who was in attendance at the fight.

I saw Anthony Dirrell with the WBC belt. He can’t call himself champion until he fights me. That’s my belt. I’m going to go get it. It’s mine.

Additional action featured former bantamweight champion Luis Nery (29-0, 23 KO) knock down former champion McJoe Arroyo (18-3, 8 KO) four times on his way to a fifth-round victory by stoppage in his U.S. debut.

We’re two great fighters who were here to put on a show,” said Nery. “That’s what you have to expect from fighters of our caliber. I’m happy to start on the right foot here in my U.S. debut and show everyone I’m still the best at bantamweight.

Nery stalked Arroyo from the opening bell, throwing big power shots that forced his opponent to fight off his back foot. Cu 45 seconds left in round two, Nery scored his first knockdown with a left that stunned him and follow-up combination that put Arroyo on the canvas.

Arroyo was unable to keep the hard-charging Nery from coming forward and again hit the mat late in round three, as a wide left hook hurt Arroyo before he was put down from a flurry that followed. The trouble continued for Arroyo in round four, as he was knocked down twice more in the final minute of the round.

I never felt like I was dazed or anything, they were just hard punches,” said Arroyo. “I went down but got right back up. If it were up to me I’d have kept going. I have to give respect to my opponent for his performance. This isn’t the end of my career. I’ve seen him fight before but I was surprised by his power. It was his night tonight.

After the fourth round, Arroyo’s corner stopped the bout, making the official stoppage 10 seconds into round five. Nery dominated the bout, out landing Arroyo 87 pentru 36, în timp ce de aterizare 44 la sută din pumni sale de putere.

We’re going to train hard and hopefully by June, we’ll have the belt back,” said Nery. “I want to win back my belt, then unify the division.

The opening bout on pay-per-view saw heavyweight fan-favorite Chris Arreola (38-5-1, 33 KO) score a third-round stoppage over previously unbeaten Jean Pierre Augustin (17-1-1, 12 KO).

Augustin is a hungry kid who tried to make a name off of me,” Said Arreola. “I lose and I’m out, but I’m not going out. I touched him a couple of times and saw he was hurt. I stayed calm and the stoppage came.

After blood started pouring from Arreola’s nose towards the end of round two, the Riverside, California-native got off to a quick start in round three, connecting with a straight left that stunned Augustin and nearly sent him to the canvas in the opening seconds.

As the round progressed, Augustin tried to hold and move to regain his composure, but was eventually caught with a flurry in the neutral corner that put him on the canvas. While he got up and was able to continue, another flurry in Augustin’s corner, including a big overhand left, eventually forced referee Neal Young to stop the fight 2:03 în turul trei.

Every fighter feels like they can continue, dar este ceea ce este, it’s out of my control,” said Augustin. “I was more stunned than hurt, but he jumped on me and finished.

In the dominant final round Arreola landed 18 de 30 pumni de putere, compared to just three punches landed in the round by Augustin.

“Îmi place lupta,” Said Arreola. “We’re both were trying to beat each other up and I love it. I’m blessed to be a fighter.

Preceding the pay-per-view, PBC Prelims on FS1 featured former heavyweight champion Charles Martin (26-2-1. 23 KO) winning via disqualification against previously unbeaten Gregory Corbin (15-1, 9 KO) in the eighth-round of their showdown. After deducting a point from Corbin in rounds four, five and six because of low blows, referee Mark Calo-oy stopped the bout in round eight after another low blow. The official time of the disqualification came 53 seconds into round eight.

I don’t think he really wanted to fight, he wanted to hit me low and see how much he could get away with,” a spus Martin. “I could sense that he didn’t want to engage anymore.

“Este ceea ce este, I thought I was hitting him on the belt,” said Corbin. “We wanted to go to the body, I thought he was tired. I hurt him once, but the low blows did it for me.

We’re going to get back in camp, take a few days off and then get back to work,” a spus Martin. “We’re staying busy in 2019.

Aici este ceea ce participanții la conferință de presă a avut de spus miercuri:

ERROL Spence JR.

This is a dream come true fighting in my hometown at AT&T Stadium. I can’t wait to put on a great performance. Seeing Mikey’s face here today, it’s got me hungrier than ever to put on a great performance

The size difference won’t matter. Skill for skill and talent for talent, I’m more dominant than him in every aspect. I’ll beat him at anything he wants to do. On paper he’s the toughest opponent to date, but once we get in the ring we’ll find out.

I don’t think anyone has the power to knock me out. We don’t allow that kind of mentality into training camp. I hope he tries though.

Mikey is supposed to think he’s going to win this fight. He called me out, so they obviously think that they see something. I’m glad he’s as confident as I am. I hope he keeps that same energy inside of the ring.

Our training camp, we train for a hard 12 lupta rundă. We prepare for a bruising fight. If I knock him out early, then that’s a bonus. We trained for the distance because we know anything can happen in a fight.

I’m always calm, that’s just my demeanor. I could talk to Mikey Garcia in the locker room before the fight then come out and knock his head off. I’m always on go. I’m naturally like this. I’ve been ready to go for eight weeks. I’m tired of seeing him and I’m just ready for fight night.

I can’t worry about what Mikey sees in me. I let my coach worry about it. Everyone thinks they see something looking on the outside, but it’s a lot harder once you’re in the ring.

This win makes me pound-for-pound number one. Mikey has a great record and a big fan base and I feel like winning this fight turns me into a star. Everyone wants to take Floyd Mayweather’s place as the face of boxing, and this puts me on the right track to become the face of boxing and the best fighter in the world.

This is a legendary fight. This is where we see what fighters are made of. There have been a lot of great fights when little guys came up and beat a bigger fighter. You can’t ever write off the little guy. This is going to be a hard fight.

I know I’m the best fighter in the world and I’m going to show it Saturday night. I’m going to punish him and make him wish he took his brother’s advice to not take this fight.

MIKEY GARCIA

I have all the tools and all the skills needed to beat Errol Spence Jr. When it comes to timing, viteză, reflexes and defense, you name it, I’m better.

Here in Texas, it’s like a second home. I’ve won two world titles here. Having great fan support at the grand arrival was a special moment for me.

I’ve got to go in there Saturday night and show why I picked this fight. I want to make history and this is the one that will get me there.

I’m prepared to do whatever it takes to win this fight. We trained very hard. Putem merge 12 rounds for sure. Dar, if I get a chance to hurt my opponent, I’m definitely going to jump on him and get the knockout.

“sambata seara, Errol is going to find out why I picked this fight. All of my opponents say they don’t see anything special when they watch me, until they get into the ring.

I know what I have to do on fight night. I know all the work that I put in. I didn’t put all that effort in for nothing. sambata seara, I have to execute. Once I get inside the ring, that switch will turn on.

I have to fight the best fight of my life. If I don’t, then I can’t overcome the challenge. You don’t win a fight with size and weight. We fight smart, we fight intelligently and pick our shots. There are a lot of factors. That’s how I win this fight.

Getting this victory will forever leave my name in the history books. No other fighter is daring to do what I’m doing. I’m here to make history and this fight does that. This fight is about big challenges and obstacles.

All the attention and buzz about this fight is for real. It’s not often you get a fight like this. Undefeated champions in their prime facing each other. If you want to witness history, you better buy a ticket or the pay-per-view.

DERRICK JAMES, Trainer Spence

Getting up on the stage today, it was like fight night. I feel what Errol and Mikey are feeling. It’s go-time for both of these guys.

Mikey Garcia is a great opponent, but he’s still just another opponent. We’re going to go in there and show him why we’re better. Errol is feeling great, so I am too.

Ring intelligence is definitely one of Mikey’s best attributes. But he’s never been in the ring with Errol. Errol has been in the ring sparring with Floyd Mayweather before and I don’t think Mikey has the same ring intelligence as him.

Errol knows what he should be doing and what he shouldn’t be doing during fight week. He will be ready on Saturday night.

ROBERT GARCIA, Garcia’s Brother & Antrenor

Not only have all of our sparring partners told us this, but his opponents always say the same thing. Once they’re in the ring, they realize how hard Mikey hits and how strong he is. Spence doesn’t know that but he’ll find out Saturday.

A lot of fighters have problems with southpaws like Spence, but Mikey has a lot of experience facing lefties and I’m confident that won’t be a factor.

Spence’s style is pretty basic, so it’s not too hard to find sparring partners to emulate him. Spence does everything right, just like Mikey. From a preparation standpoint, his style isn’t a big challenge.

We haven’t just been facing regular sparring partners. They’re experienced, talented and undefeated fighters. He’s facing middleweights to get ready for this one and I know he will be.

ARLINGTON, TX. (Martie 5, 2019) – IBF Welterweight World Champion Errol Spence Jr. and four-division world champion Mikey Garcia hosted separate media workouts in Dallas and Riverside, CA. respectively on Tuesday as they near their historic showdown that headlines the first Premier Boxing Champions on FOX Sports Pay-Per-View event Saturday, Martie 16 de la AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Spence hosted media at World Class Boxing Gym in Dallas and was joined by undefeated former super middleweight champion David Benavidez, care ia înJ'Leon Dragoste in PBC on FOX Sports Pay-Per-View action. Garcia’s workout also featured heavyweight fan-favorite Chris Arreola, who participated in the workout at Robert Garcia Boxing Academy and will face Jean Pierre Augustin in Pay-Per-View action beginning at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.

Tickets for this showdown, which is promoted by TGB Promotions and Ringstar Sports, sunt de vanzare acum, și poate fi achiziționat de la SeatGeek.com, the Official Ticketing Provider of AT&T Stadium.

Here is what the fighters and more had say Tuesday from the two media events:

ERROL Spence JR.

“Sunt foarte incantata de aceasta lupta, especially to have it at AT&T Stadium. Sunt 100% focused and ready for next week. This fight is going to have a bigger crowd, be more electrifying and will just be an amazing event overall.

A lot of times when I’m in AT&T Stadium watching the NFL games, or watching Pacquiao fights or Canelo fights, the jumbotrons are so big that you get caught up looking up even when you’re ringside. It’s great because there isn’t a bad seat in the place with the jumbotron.

This is definitely one of those crossover fights for me. Garcia is the biggest name to date that I’m fighting on American soil. It’s just great being so young in my career, fighting in my first pay-per-view and fighting with a guy like Garcia who brings over a different fanbase.

You can tell how I looked ten weeks ago compared to how I look now. I’m not overlooking Garcia. I’m in tip-top shape, slim and ready. The difference is that now in a pay-per-view fight you have to be more dedicated and focused to promote the fight, showing that you are a star in boxing and sports media.

If you know me and you know my boxing style, you know I’m never in a boring fight. Even if it’s just me beating up my opponent, or them just being hurt, I’m always going to try to stop my opponent and put on a spectacular performance.

I put that pressure to look great on myself, not just because I’m undefeated or because everybody says this about me, I do it for myself to put on a great performance and a great show. I want to do that so great guys can look at me and think about if they want to fight me or not. That’s why a lot of guys don’t want to fight me.

MIKEY GARCIA

A lot of people underestimate the power when they face me. They don’t see my physical size as a threat. But you know they feel the power once we’re in the ring and definitely change their minds.

“(I wanted to fight Spence) because he’s the best right now in the (semimijlocie) diviziune. I want to make a statement. I want to make a mark, and you know I have to do that against the best.

I believe I’m a better fighter overall. When it comes to footwork, I think I have the better footwork. When it comes to speed, I think I have better speed. When it comes to defense, I have better defense. With timing, I have better timing. All of these things are what will help me win this fight. The only thing that he has going for him that’s apparent is the size, height, weight and reach.

I’ve always said I’m better than him. Not by a lot, but just enough to beat him. He also reminds me of myself in a lot of ways, the way he fights, the way he is. He does everything well, good footwork, Viteza buna, controls the fight at his distance that he likesIn a lot of ways, it resembles the way I fight. But I still feel that I’m better in every one of those ways and that’s what I’m betting on.

DAVID Benavidez

I’m extremely excited to be fighting in front of 40,000-plus people in the co-main event on March 16. It’s like a dream come true fighting at AT&T Stadium.

I’m looking forward to going in and getting a knockoutI’ve been training extremely hard. Three months of training for this camp. It’s been good. I have like six pounds left to lose, so I haven’t struggled with the weight at all. I’ve been on a diet for at least three months now. The work has been done in and outside of the ring. Everything has been perfect leading up to this fight and I’m extremely ready.

It was difficult (losing my title). I beat myself for that belt. În 2019, we are not taking any steps back, only forward.

There are a lot of good fights I know that can be made. Așa, I am very excited to do my part and hopefully face-off against Anthony Dirrell, Caleb Plant or Callum Smith at the end of the year. I’m already in line to fight for the WBC title, but I’ve got to first take care of my job with J’Leon Love.

Love is a good boxer, o contra-puncher. He’s been in the game for a while now. But like I said, I’m ready for anything. I’ve studied him a lot, so I’m just ready for anything he presents.

I want to become the undisputed champion (at super middleweight). That’s my ultimate goal. Then I can talk about moving up. Chiar acum, I want all the belts.

CHRIS Arreola

“Chiar acum, my career is all about putting in the work and my legacy. I’m not in this anymore for money. I love money, but I’m comfortable. I’m here for legacy. I want to leave something behindI’m chasing a title.

I feel mentally sharper now. Mentally I’m just relaxed in the ring. Some people are amped the whole round. But no, I know how to relax and work the ring and work my fight.

The main thing this time around is I’m fighting a lefty and the first three or four times being in the ring sparring it’s a little different. It’s different angles and different punchesSo that’s the main thing that’s probably the hardest part is lefties and getting used to it.

DERRICK JAMES, Trainer Spence

I just think Errol is so hungry and he has the ability to be great. The way he adjusts in the fights and he really sets the tone. Most of all, his fights have been one-sided. Regardless who he’s fighting against, how great they are, what their record is, what they said they’ll do to him, he’s just been able to have one-sided affairs. Hopefully we can have the same thing in this fight.

This has been a tremendous training camp. I’ve seen how hard Errol has worked and how motivated he is. He’s extremely confident, and rightfully so. La martie 16, I know Mikey is going to come prepared, but so are we. Whatever Mikey brings into the ring, we’re going to have the answer.

ROBERT GARCIA, Mikey’s Brother & Antrenor

Mikey has been there before in many championship fights. Evident, this is the biggest challenge against a bigger, heavier guy. But at this point in training, I think we’re in great shape. We know (Errol) is going to be the heavier guy in the ring, but he’s not going to be the better or smarter guy.

We’re going to fight a technical fight, especially in the first few rounds, to figure out what Errol Spence is brining into the fight. But if we have to back him up and fight on the inside, then we’re going to do what’s necessary.

RICHARD SCHAEFER, Preşedinte & CEO al Ringstar Sport

FOX is really putting their weight behind boxing, and you’ve seen what that meant for other sports. When UFC got involved with FOX, you saw how it elevated the sport of MMA and UFCFOX is doing the same thing now on the boxing side and I really believe it will elevate boxing. It brings the general market to this sport, and I think that’s what we’re going to see here with this pay-per-view.

When you have a fight like Spence and Garcia, boxing fans know about it. Sports fans know about it. But the general market doesn’t really know about it. Așa, I think if you can market towards the general market it just opens up the flood gates as it relates to pay-per-view. And that’s the advantage FOX has compared to an ESPN.

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Tuesday:

ERROL Spence JR.

“Acest lucru este un vis devenit realitate. This is something that still hasn’t really hit me yet. I try not to get caught up in the moment, but this is my favorite team that I’ve watched since I was sitting on my dad’s lap.

Every time I see Mikey I get excited and anxious and want to go to the gym and spar. On Sunday, I sparred 18 rounds because of the whole press conference and face off on Saturday. Looking into Mikey’s eyes, I can see how hungry he is and that’s motivating me.

Mikey is very difficult because of how me places his punches. He’s always thinking and he has a high ring IQ. But I’ve been clicking on all cylinders. I’m strong mentally and physically and prepared for anything he brings to the table. A win here can definitely catapult me and I’m ready to make it happen.

Any athlete would love to have their home team supporting them. It just so happens I have the most popular team in the world right here in Dallas. It means a lot because they don’t have to do that. I’m very humbled and it feels great to represent Dallas. I always support my people here.

“Sunt 100 percent prepared and focused on Mikey Garcia. I’m hungry and I’m already on weight. I can’t wait to put on another show. Martie 16, you have to make sure you don’t miss it. It’s going to be a legendary night.

MIKEY GARCIA

This fight deserves a home like this. This fight deserves this type of atmosphere and energy. I was a Cowboys fan myself growing up and now I’m here in their home about to have the biggest fight of my career. It’s unbelievable, but here we are. I’m excited to make this a memorable night. This is history in the making.

I’m very excited for what’s coming in a few weeks. This is a fight that I really wanted and it’s definitely the biggest challenge of my career. To fight the best welterweight in the division is no easy task. Errol Spence Jr. is going to bring the best out of me.

I’m sure Errol is getting ready for the biggest fight of his career just like I am. That’s what’s going to make this interesting. That’s the recipe for a tremendous fight. It’s not very common to see two of the pound-for-pound best, still undefeated and fighting each other in their prime.

We’ve been implementing techniques that will help me improve my speed, explosiveness and reaction time, while also adding a little bit of mass. I think all of that is going to be beneficial to me on fight night. I feel very happy with the results.

If I don’t take these risks, then I won’t be rewarded. I want to be recognized as one of the greatest and the best of this generation. How can I achieve that if I don’t take these risks? That’s why I’m taking the biggest fight available.

DERRICK JAMES, Trainer Spence

I’m very happy to be here. It’s been a really good ride with Errol and myself. This is our 10lea year working together and this is a beautiful place for everything to culminate. Mikey is a true fighter and he has a phenomenal trainer in his brother and father. We’re prepared for him and in shape right now. We’re ready to go.

ROBERT GARCIA, Garcia’s Brother & Antrenor

We’ve had a great training camp and our sparring partners are doing a great job preparing us for a very tough challenge. By the time the fight comes, you’re going to see what Mikey is all about. Everyone who watches this fight is going to enjoy a great night of boxing.

JERRY JONES, Dallas Cowboys Owner, President and General Manager

I don’t know if we’ve ever had an event here that has this kind of stature and the combination of two men standing in there on their own, and at the very best stage of their career. This is two champions meeting and that is something very rare for fans.

When we built this stadium I thought a lot about boxing. The Dallas Cowboys constituency is particularly into boxing. We have a fantastic Mexican and Hispanic fan base and when we have fights at this stadium, there is a great affinity for boxing. When there is a fight of this caliber at this stadium, then we know we’re doing something very special.

These two fighters are uniquely associated with this stadium and the Cowboys. Errol Spence Jr. literally lives next door and is from this particular area. The last night he had at The Star, he had his Cowboys gear on and made our players and myself so proud.

Our home away from home, Oxnard, California is where Mikey Garcia used to watch the Cowboys practice. We have a lot of kinship with these two fighters and our fans are in for a tremendous treat.

These two fighters are worthy of this stadium. Their skill level and ability to compete is worthy of this stadium. This is a special event that will be taking place on March 16.

TOM BROWN, Președintele TGB Promoții

“Errol Spence Jr. vs Mikey Garcia is one of the most intriguing fights of the year. It’s a fight that will determine who is pound-for-pound the best fighter in the world.

We’re thrilled to be at the home of the best professional franchise in sports, in the Dallas Cowboys. This is the perfect place for this event that features two unbeaten champions in their primes, putting their records on the line. Mikey and Errol are destined to walk out of that tunnel and into that ring to engage in a battle that will never be forgotten.

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Saturday from Microsoft Theater at L.A. Live:

ERROL Spence JR.

I train old school so I don’t worry about how Mikey is planning to get stronger at the weight. I’m not worried about it and I don’t think it will make a difference in the fight. I’m just going to focus on what I have to do to be at my best.

Size always matters, but when you get in there, at the end of the day, it’s about skills and intelligence. I’m not going to rely on size. I’m going to focus on my talent. If I can roll through him, then I’ll show my killer instinct and try to get him out of there. I’m going to use my ability to break him down.

At first I thought he was just chasing my name when he was calling me out. Once it became real, I saw how serious he was. At that point I was very confident it would happen.

I’m not the bully here because Mikey really pushed for the fight. The other champions weren’t available at the time, plus Mikey is the only top fighter who called me out. I knew this was a fight I wanted.

Mikey is undefeated, has a great skill set and has won a title at 140-pounds. I don’t see him as that small a fighter. He has a technical style that’s very traditional. He likes to use angles to set his opponent’s up.

We’re focused on what I can do and what our game plan is. I always spar the same people no matter what because they get me into the condition I need to be in and they have me primed for any challenge.

The welterweight division has always been one of the strongest divisions in the sport and it is like that now. We just need to fight each other. I’m ready to fight any of them. Whoever ends up on top from this group, will end being a Hall of Famer. That’s how you become an all-time great.

This is something I’ve been waiting for my whole life. I’m focused and prepared for this challenge. It’s going to be all eyes on me and Mikey in that ring and I can’t wait.

I’m happy that someone is challenging me. I’ve been looking for an opponent like him. He’s established himself in this sport. I’m happy to be able to take on this challenge. I’m looking for a skillful Mikey Garcia to bring the best out of me on March 16.

My vision is that my hand will be raised in victory, whether it’s a knockout or a 12-round grueling fight, I’m preparing for the best Mikey Garcia skill wise, strength wise and as far as his ring intelligence.

MIKEY GARCIA

These are the kinds of challenges I want. I need someone like Errol Spence Jr., with his demeanor and style, to bring the best out of me. I want the world to finally see the full Mikey Garcia.

The training that we did in the Bay Area definitely helped me. We are going up in weight and needed to do a different type of training. We wanted to make sure that we gained a little bit of mass so that I can be able to hold off Errol Spence’s weight and strength.

The key to my strength training was that we didn’t want to lose my speed and explosiveness. I can see now that I’m back in sparring that I still have that speed while also gaining the muscle we had to.

If people say Errol is bigger, that’s just obvious. But who’s faster? Who has better timing? There’s a lot more that goes into this sport and who’s going to win this particular fight.

This has been one of the toughest camps I’ve ever had. We’re working on a lot of different methods and techniques to be at our very best. He’s going to be bigger than me on fight night, but that’s part of the challenge. I’ve know that since the beginning and that’s why we’ve trained the way we have.

When I saw him fight Lamont Peterson I decided that Errol Spence Jr. was the fight I wanted one day. People tried to talk me out of it, but now they’re all on board. People have now started to see what I’m going to be capable of on March 16.

I want the best Errol Spence Jr. I know he’s a great fighter with a lot of skills and talent. He hasn’t needed to use all of his skills, ca si mine. He does everything well, but nothing spectacular. I just feel like I’m the better fighter. I think I have the advantage everywhere except maybe power, but we’ll find out on fight night.

This is history in the making. I’m trying to establish a great legacy. This is the kind of fight that I need. I know my fans are going to show up and give me a lot of support. This fight truly excites me and motivates.

I’m not going to let this fight slip away. I’m going to establish myself as one of the best of the generation and eventually one of the best of all time.

Even though some people believe I’m the underdog, I don’t see myself that way. I’m undefeated and I think Errol knows that I pose a challenge. It’s no easy task for either one of us. This is the fight that I need for my legacy.

DERRICK JAMES, Trainer Spence

This fight is all about the skillset, not the size. Size will come into play a little bit, but we’re going to show the skillset that we have to beat this guy. That’s what Errol is going to show.

Mikey Garcia has a good technical style. But there’s always a method to take down a great fighter. I think that a day like today will inspire us even more to work even harder. We can see him right in front of us. Its real and we can’t wait.

When I first saw Errol we were actually sparring each other. We started working together and I got to see him walk through guy after guy. We knew he was a great athlete, but it took time to build to where I started to realize he was something special.

ROBERT GARCIA, Garcia’s Brother & Antrenor

This is a big challenge for us to go up in weight to fight the best welterweight in the world. But it’s not like itsnever been done before and I know Mikey has the skills and power to pull it off. That’s what we’re coming to Dallas to do.

This is an opportunity for Mikey to continue building his legacy. He wants to be known as one of the greatest fighters of all time and a win over Errol Spence Jr. is a big step toward that.

I don’t think they’ve overlooking Mikey. “They know the talent he has. They’re getting ready for a great fight like they’ve done before. I think they know that they’re in for a real fight.

DAVID Benavidez

I’m back here in this stage and that’s all that matters. I’m living and learning. I can’t wait to be in position to again fight for the world title.

‘I actually sparred with J’Leon Love when I was 15-years-old. He’s a great fighter who’s a veteran. Nu îl trec cu vederea. I’m training for this fight like it’s a world title fight. Whatever style he comes with, I’m going to be ready for it.

“sunt mai bine ca oricând. Everything has been a lesson learned. I had to sit out while I lost my spot, so now I’m more motivated than ever. This year we’re leaving the past in the past and coming back stronger.

CHRIS Arreola

I’m excited to be back. It was a long layoff where I spent time with my son and watched him grow. I missed that feeling of being in front of fans and getting that nervous energy right before a fight.

I’m anticipating and I’m hoping for a rowdy crowd on March 16. There will be a lot of Spence and Garcia fans and a whole lot of great fights. Us Mexicans, we love fights.

I know that my opponent is a southpaw and he’s slick. He’s going to try to out box me. I know he’s not going to want to stay in my wheelhouse. I have to be in shape to go the distance and be ready for shots coming from different angles.

JERRY JONES, Dallas Cowboys Owner, President and General Manager

On hosting Spence and Garcia at separate Cowboys home games last season:
It was just good to rub elbows with champions. I want all that they have to rub off on me and the Dallas Cowboys.

The fact that FOX is involved and their interest in this fight is amazing. We’ve had great events with FOX, including the Super Bowl. Our stadium was really built for boxing. These fighters will be standing 70 feet tall suspended above the ring on the video board. It’s an excellent way to feel like you’re so close you’re receiving the blows from these great fighters.

We’re so excited for our Mexican-American fan base. This is a great area for boxing. We endear ourselves to be involved with an event like this in anyway the Cowboys can. Especially with two great fighters like Spence and Garcia.

I think you’ll see a fight with outstanding champions involved on March 16. You don’t get to see the best against the best very often. At AT&T Stadium, you’ll see it in a way that can’t be matched at normal sports venues. The aura of having thousands of fans like at a football game is unmatched. It’s a grand experience and we’re proud to be a part of boxing.

RICHARD SCHAEFER, Preşedinte & CEO al Ringstar Sport

The winner of this fight will be pound-for-pound the best in the world. Everybody would agree both of these guys are near the top of that list, and I believe whoever wins will be number one. This is a coronation for who is today the king of the sport.

Mikey Garcia is technically one of the best fighters in the world. Errol Spence Jr. is a strong, determined fighter who just wants to prove that he’s the best. This fight is a chance for both guys to prove they’re the best in the world.

TOM BROWN, Președintele TGB Promoții

This is a true blockbuster event, worthy of this incredible press conference live on FOX. These two fighters are not only superstars of the sport, but the winner of this fight will be able to make the claim of being number one pound-for-pound.

FOX and the Dallas Cowboys have given a tremendous amount of support to this event and we anticipate an unforgettable evening on March 16. Mikey Garcia is truly daring to be great against a fighter in Errol Spence Jr. who has established himself as the class of the 147-pound division.

LOS ANGELES (Iulie 28, 2018) – Mikey Garcia a devenit 10lea campion la categoria ușoară pentru a unifica divizia printr-o decizie unanimă împotriva lui Robert Easter Jr. Sâmbătă la SHOWTIME, și imediat după aceea și-a pus ochii pe cele mai bune din box, și anume Errol Spence Jr.

Repere complete ale luptei aici: https://s.sho.com/2LzlnJ6

 

 

 

 

Toți cei trei judecători au marcat lupta în favoarea lui Garcia,118-109, 117-110, 116-111, într-o luptă electrizantă în faţa 12,560 fanii de la Staples Center într-un eveniment prezentat de Premier Boxing Champions.

 

 

 

 

Campionul mondial în patru divizii Garcia (39-0, 30 KO) – care a luptat în California de Sud natală pentru prima dată în șapte ani – își păstrează titlul WBC de 135 de lire., și pretinde, de asemenea, centura ușoară IBF de Paște

 

 

 

 

„Sunt aici pentru cele mai mari provocări,” a spus Garcia, 30, care a unificat un titlu pentru prima dată în carieră. „Nu știu dacă există cineva care să fie o provocare mai mare decât Errol Spence. Știu că este pregătit să lupte cu toată lumea, așa că hai să facem asta. Cred că se poate face. Cred că aceasta este următoarea mare luptă care urmează.

 

 

 

 

„Simt că am puterea și abilitățile de a concura în orice divizie până la greutatea welter. Este cel mai dur tip la welter, așa că vreau să-l înfrunt.”

 

 

 

 

Garcia a înscris un knock-down în runda a treia împotriva Paștelui (21-1, 14 KO) de Toledo, Ohio, care a fost trimis pe pânză doar pentru a doua oară în carieră. O lovitură puternică la dreapta l-a scos pe Paște din poziție, urmat imediat de un cârlig de stânga devastator trimis Paștele jos cu 24 secunde rămase în rundă.

 

 

 

 

Garcia s-a îmbunătățit pe măsură ce lupta a progresat. În ultimele patru runde, Garcia a depășit Paștele 95-34 în pumni totale și a încheiat lupta fiind aruncarea luptătorului mai activă 555 pumni la Paște 507. S-a conectat aproape 40 la sută din loviturile sale de putere în timp ce Paștele a aterizat la a 24 clip la sută.

 

 

 

 

„Este o mare realizare să fii aici în L.A.”, a spus Garcia. „Am controlat cea mai mare parte a luptei, și am făcut ce trebuia să fac. Știam că este un adversar dur. Este un războinic dur. A dat o luptă grozavă, dar eu am fost un luptător mai bun. Eram în controlul luptei și am făcut ce trebuia să fac pentru a câștiga.”

 

 

 

 

Paști, care a intrat în vestiarul Garcia după lupta pentru a-și felicita adversarul, a fost grațios în înfrângere.

 

 

 

 

„De câte ori pășim în ring, amândoi ne punem viața în pericol și în seara asta Mikey a fost învingător.,” a spus Paștele, care a intrat în luptă ca cel mai lung campion în domnie la 135 de lire sterline. „Nu am reușit să găsesc momentul și nu mi-am putut lăsa mâna dreaptă să plece. M-a prins cu o lovitură curată și am coborât, dar m-am ridicat ca un adevărat campion”.

 

 

 

 

 

În timpul unui interviu la biroul gazdei SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING, Spence, un tovarăș de top-5 liră pentru liră grozav, a spus că va „cu siguranță” binevenit o luptă cu Garcia. „Simt că aceasta este cea mai bună luptă disponibilă pentru mine în acest moment cu Shawn [Uzură] și Danny [Garcia] lupta în septembrie. Keith Thurman încă se recuperează și are nevoie de o perfecționare.

Interviul complet aici: https://s.sho.com/2veXH1T.

 

 

 

 

„Îndrăznește să fie grozav, vrea să fie grozav, vrea să urce și să mă detroneze și nu se va întâmpla. Cu siguranță va fi o luptă ușoară. [Garcia] va fi liră pentru liră nr. 1 dacă mă bate. Are abilități grozave, dar mă văd câștigând. Nu văd cu adevărat nimic care să mă preocupe. El este bun din punct de vedere tehnic, dar nu-l văd că mă rănește la 147.”

 

 

 

 

Soliscul grea Luis Ortiz (29-1, 25 KO) a revenit pe ring cu o victorie răsunătoare, înscriind un KO devastator din turul al doilea (2:08) al fostului rival la titlul mondial Razvan Cojanu (16-4, 9 KO)

 

 

 

 

Ortiz a aterizat 42 sută de fotografii sale de putere (opt din 19) în timp ce Cojanu a aterizat doar două din 13 (15%) în lupta scurtă.

 

 

 

 

Ortiz a fost emotionat dupa lupta. El i-a spus lui Jim Gray de la SHOWTIME că în urmă cu doar cinci zile a aflat că medicii au găsit un remediu pentru epidermoliza buloasă., o boală de care suferă fiica lui.

 

 

 

 

„Mulțumită lui Dumnezeu, au găsit un leac pentru boala fiicei mele,” a spus Ortiz. „Soția mea mi-a spus în timp ce mă urcam în avion să ajung aici. Mi-a fost greu să fii departe de ei. Sunt fericit că am câștigat, dar a fost foarte greu să fii departe de ei.”

 

 

 

 

 

Ambii luptători aveau pierderi în lupte pentru titlul mondial la categoria grea. Ortiz lupta pentru prima dată de când l-a provocat pe Deontay Wilder într-o 2018 Lupta a candidatului Anului. Ortiz de 6 picioare și 4 metri a pierdut puțin timp învingându-l pe cei de 6 picioare și 7½, 269-pound Cojanu, revenind pentru prima sa luptă de la provocarea pe atunci campionul WBO la categoria grea Joseph Parker.

 

 

 

 

 

„În mintea mea, King Kong nu a fost învins. Nu simt că am pierdut împotriva lui Deontay Wilder. vreau să lupt [Anthony] Joshua, dar se luptă doar cu boxerii pe care este sigur că îi poate învinge. O să cer guvernului să mă pună pe dizabilități, poate așa se va lupta Joshua cu mine.”

 

 

 

 

În deschizătorul de programe de televiziune, Mario Barrios (22-0, 14 KO) a rămas neînvins, înregistrând a șasea oprire consecutivă cu un TKO în runda a opta a lui Jose Roman (24-3-1, 14 KO) într-un meci programat de 10 runde la categoria welter. Fiecare dintre judecători, precum și marcatorul expert SHOWTIME Steve Farhood, a marcat lupta 80-70 în favoarea lui Barrios în momentul opririi, deoarece colțul lui Roman nu a răspuns la soneria pentru runda a noua.

 

 

 

 

Barrios din San Antonio s-au bazat pe munca eficientă a corpului pentru a domina lupta, conectarea la 61 sale 133 fotografii ale corpului. S-a conectat mai departe 44 la sută din pumni sale de putere (104/239) comparativ cu 26 la sută pentru Roman (34/132), care a avut doar cinci împușcături corporale în noapte.

 

 

 

 

"[Munca corpului] este ceva la care am reușit să lucrez,” i-a spus Barrios lui Gray în ring. „Ai pus munca la corp devreme și până la sfârșitul luptei nu mai au nimic. Asta a funcționat perfect pentru această luptă. Acesta a fost cel mai departe pe care am mers de mult timp. A fost o muncă grozavă și simt că trec la luptătorul pe care l-am crezut mereu că sunt.”

 

 

 

 

Cartiere, care a suferit o tăietură deasupra ochiului stâng în primul tur, trimis pe Roman pe pânză la 1:15 din runda a patra cu o dreapta puternică care l-a năucit pe Roman, apoi un cârlig de stânga care l-a dat jos pe Roman pentru a șaptea oară în carieră. Barrios a încheiat runda cu o rafală de pumni care l-au lăsat uluit pe Roman.

 

 

 

 

 

Barrios, în vârstă de 23 de ani, l-a trimis din nou pe Roman 1:38 rămânând în runda a opta. Roman a supraviețuit rundei, dar colţul lui a refuzat să răspundă la sonerie şi lupta s-a încheiat.

 

 

 

 

„Simt că sunt pregătit [pentru o lovitură de titlu)],” a spus Barrios. „Mă simt puternic. Mă simt repede. Sunt tineri, dar orice îmi aruncă managerii mei, sunt gata. Dacă l-aș putea primi mâine, Aș lua-o.”

 

 

 

 

 

A fost o noapte plină de stele la Staples, când actualii și foștii campioni mondiali au participat la lupte, inclusiv Jarrett Hurd, Errol Spence Jr., Leo Santa Cruz, Abner Mares, Gervonta Davis și Adrien Broner.

 

 

 

 

 

Shawn Porter a fost și el la prezență. Recent a fost anunțat că Porter și fostul deținător al titlului mondial de 147 de lire, Danny Garcia, se vor lupta unul împotriva celuilalt pentru Campionatul Mondial WBC vacant la categoria welter în direct la SHOWTIME sâmbătă., Șapte. 8 de la Barclays Center din Brooklyn, N.Y..

 

 

 

 

„Sunt doar un alt tip de atlet,” i-a spus Porter lui Brian Custer de la SHOWTIME. „Când vorbești despre a avea instrumentele necesare pentru a deveni de două ori campion mondial; Am instrumentele, atletismul, tenacitatea generalitatea ringului. Veți vedea toate acestea în septembrie. 8.

 

 

 

 

 

„Întotdeauna spunem că afacerea trebuie să aibă sens [a face lupte], Și mi se pare că afacerea și-a jucat rolul. Câștig campionatul WBC și îl vei primi pe Shawn Porter vs. Errol Spence.”

 

 

 

 

 

Acoperire în streaming a luptelor live undercard pe SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING COUNTDOWN, neînvins prospect super-ușor Fabian Maidana (16-0, 12 KO), fratele fostului campion Marcos Maidana, a înregistrat o oprire în runda a șaptea (2:32) împotriva fostului rival la titlul mondial Andrey Klimov (19-5, 9 KO).
