Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf sent senior special advisor, Penny Moore, to kick off the press conference with an official proclamation honoring Ward’s contribution to the city and declaring August 4 as Andre Ward Day.

 

Below is what the fighters and dais guests had to say at the press conference:

 

 

ANDRE WARD, Dvojnásobný majster sveta a prvotriedne libra-pre-búšiť stíhačka:

“The Bay Area is a beautiful place. I’m blessed to be here in my city and to represent you all. I’ve gotten a lot of heat in the press about fighting here but I won’t apologize. I dreamed about fighting here and being a headliner. We’re going to continue to headline. I’m thankful for all the sponsors that were named, HBO and everybody who supported on a small and big level.

 

“I’m excited about the future. I want to be the lightweight champion of the world, a two division champion. Každý vie, že, but it’s impossible for me to overlook this man (Brand). I’m not built like that. I wasn’t raised like that. I wasn’t groomed like that. As a young fighter, I don’t operate like that. This man is coming, this is his super bowl. Because this is his super bowl, it has to be my super bowl. My ribs are showing, Som hladný. I’ll see you all Saturday night.”

ALEXANDER BRAND, Former WBC Latino Super Middleweight Champion:

“I want to thank you all for being here today. It’s a pleasure for me to be in this wonderful city. All I want to do is give a good show and make sure that I give that to my fans here in Oakland. I want to have a good fight and work hard. It’s really a true honor to be in the ring with a champion like Andre Ward.”

MICHAEL YORMARK, Prezident a šéf Branding & Strategy – Roc Nation:

“Over the last year and a half this city has become our home away from home, with Saturday marking Roc Nation Sports’ third big Bay Area fight in the last 16 mesiaca. Ešte dôležitejšie, Oakland is also the home to the world’s greatest pound-for-pound boxer and Olympic gold medalist, your very own Andre Ward and now the new home of another Roc Nation star athlete, Kevin Durant. On Saturday at Oracle Arena and live on HBO, Andre looks to continue his conquest of the light heavyweight division when he takes on power-punching Colombian Alexander Brand.”

 

VIRGIL HUNTER, Andre Ward’s Trainer:

"Thanks to the city of Oakland for coming out and supporting Andre. We hope you continue to do that as we continue to grow in his career and his journey. Much respect for Team Brand. We consider him a very formidable opponent. He cannot be taken lightly. We know he can fight, we know he is a great competitor. It is also an honor for us to be in the ring with him and his team.”

 

JAMES PRINCE, Andre Ward’s Manager:

“I like to thank God for this opportunity, HBO, Roc Nation, Antonio Leonard Promotions and Team Alexander Brand. Alexander Brand has over 400 amateur fights so this is an opponent we’re not taking lightly. Anybody who has 400 fights has a lot of experience so we look forward to fighting him. We had him on our radar a few months ago but we didn’t reel him in. We were injured and he got away from us. Come Saturday night, we’re going to put an S.O.G brand on Alexander Brand.”

ALEX CAMPONOVO, Alexander Brand’s Manager:

“It’s been a long road for Alexander Brand. He’s worked very hard to get where he is today. He was given the opportunity by HBO last December for a fight in Florida on HBO Latino and he showed his true colors. This is a great opponent, one of the greatest of all time, in Andre Ward. We know that this champion probably has never lost a round inside the ring and that is what Brand is here to do, to prove himself and to show that if you try and work hard, you can go very far.”

 

 

TONY WALKER, Vice President, HBO Pay-Per-View:

“On behalf of our executive Vice President Peter Nelson and the rest of the HBO Sports staff, I’d like to say that we’re very happy to be here in Oakland. We are looking forward to a great card on Saturday night. We’ve done three shows from Oracle, and each time, Andre Ward has put on an outstanding performance and showcased his skills as one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world. We consider Andre one of the HBO family as he’s been able to showcase his skills, become one of the best boxers of this generation, recognized as a champion and he’s all done it with great character and great professionalism. He’s a joy to work with us at the network.

 

“I’d like to welcome Alexander Brand to the network as he’s here to spoil the party. Anytime you get in the ring, anything can happen as we’ve seen in boxing over the years. We welcome him and know that he’s going to give a great performance as he tries to elevate his own career.

 

“There seems to be an opportunity that people have been talking about this fall for Andre. With what we’ve seen in boxing over the past few years, I think we should wait to see what happens Saturday night, then start talking about what happens after that. The telecast starts at 10:35 p.m. ET / PT. We have a great broadcast crew, we guarantee you some informative and exciting discussion on boxing and a great night of television.”

SHOWDOWN SET FOR Sobota, Auguste 6 AT Oracle Arena v Oaklande, KALIFORNIA; TELEVISED LIVE ON HBO WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING ®

OAKLAND, AKO (August 3, 2016) - V utorok, August 2, Dvojnásobný majster sveta a prvotriedne libra-pre-búšiť stíhačka Andre Ward (29-0, 15 KO) and power-punching Colombian Alexander Brand (25-1, 19 KO) podieľala na mediálnom tréningu na King Gym v Oaklande, Kalifornia pred ich August 6bojovať Oracle Arena v Oaklande. Ward and Brand will meet in 12-round WBO Intercontinental title bout televised live on HBO World Championship Boxing® beginning at 10:35 p.m. A/PT.

 

Po shadowboxing v kruhu a niekoľko kôl na dierovacích vrecia, both fighters participated in interviews with media members in attendance. Also on hand to catch the hometown hero were a dozen members of the West Oakland Boys and Girls Club chapter. Ward surprised the group of local youths with tickets to Sobotné boj.

 

Nižšie je to, čo bojovníci museli hovoriť počas záverečnej mediálnej tréning:

 

ANDRE WARD, Dvojnásobný majster sveta a prvotriedne libra-pre-búšiť stíhačka:

“It was good to get back in camp right after the last fight. I was a lot sharper early in camp than I normally am. The last couple of years, typically, you have to get the rust off first, then work on getting sharp, work on technique and the game plan. This training camp was continuous of the last training camp, I probably put in over 130 kolesá. Cítim sa naozaj dobre.

“I know enough about Brand. He’s got everything to gain and nothing to lose. He swings for the fences with every punch. He’s a dangerous guy to fight.

“It feels good to be back at Oracle Arena multiple times this year. I don’t know how much stock you can put into the last couple of years. A lot of people are talking about it, but people have to weigh in the amount of time I have been doing this, which is all my life. You look at Floyd Mayweather, he took a couple of hiatuses and it may have given him two or three more years. It was a mental break and it was a physical break. Taking those couple years where maybe you’re not fighting as frequently, it’s not always a bad thing, especially late in your career.

“I came up a little different in my Olympic days. Virgil Hunter is the type of coach who will get you away from everybody and turn your phone off. We didn’t have snapchat in 2004, we didn’t have Instagram in 2004. We had a room that we all had to huddle around with desktop computers where we all had to get news about what was going on. Ale teraz, v 2016, I see the USA team snapchatting and Instagramming. Part of you wants to tell them to shut it down and do it like I did it, but that may not be the right thing. Understand why you’re there, understand you’re not going to get this moment again. You don’t typically repeat when you go for the Olympics. Understand why you’re there, take it seriously and everything else will fall in place.

“The key is to have a good team. I’ve got a great lawyer, a great manager and a great promotional team in Roc Nation Sports. They are going to make sure the details are right. This is a very much a business, and before there’s combat, business has to be handled and taken care of. I think fighters and all athletes should be unapologetic about taking care of business. Týmto spôsobom, when you get into that ring or field or court, your mind can be free.

“Unfortunately, our women don’t get the respect they deserve, they don’t get the notoriety. They don’t get the exposure that they probably should get. Raquel Miller, who will be on the card, and other female fighters, they do what we do. They’re training and grinding but they are not always noticed. I remember the Christie Martin days where she fought on the Mike Tyson undercards with Laila Ali. They got some good publicity and shine. Avšak, there are so many other young female fighters coming up, ones who are established and have been fighting, whom people don’t know about. It’s a beautiful thing. I’m happy for Raquel and excited to have her on the card. I don’t believe when people say there is no market for women’s boxing. Let’s create a market then, let’s create some buzz!

“Sergey Kovalev is not on my mind at all. I’ve got a job to do. I haven’t even talked about Kovalev. We can talk about Kovalev on August 7th, that’s what I told my team. I didn’t watch his last fight, he’s not my next opponent but I know what happened and what people are saying about it.

“I’ve never seen Brand in person. It’s tricky, in my last fight, Sullivan Barrera was a little bit bigger than me. Everyone made a big deal about that, and Brand is smaller than me. You’ve got to be able to get it done, short or tall, explosive or wild. Brand is wild, so it’s going to take a few rounds to break him down and tame him before we start doing what we want to do. As a championship-caliber fighter, you’ve got to be able to deal with everything, every style and size. I’ve never seen the guy in person, so it’s hard to gauge.

“Taking away my opponents’ best weapon away is a skill that I developed as a kid, right here at King’s Gym. Virgil was a really, really good coach. He’s probably the last of the great teachers. I’ve been in here with pros at 13 a 14 rokov. Seasoned veterans hitting me on my head, trying to discourage me, trying to bully me. I would go back to the corner and say, ‘Man he hit me on my head. Man he’s pushing my head back.’ And Virgil would say, ‘Then make him stop.’ In other words, I had to figure it out. Having those sessions here year after year, I had to get my respect in here first before I could even fight others. I had to learn to adjust here first before I had the chance to adjust in a big fight. Tak, it started here. A, it carried over. Dokonca aj dnes, we bring in top sparrers. Sparring is different than a fight, but we bring in top sparrers to make sure my senses are on point. I don’t like to lose a second of a round so even when I am tired, I try to figure it out mentally. What can I do to offset him? How can I take that away from him? Exploit his weakness? That is constantly on my mind. I think it shows when the lights come on.

“Being back at home, it’s two-fold. Part of me wants to stop and take it in. Go down memory lane and remember all the times I’ve walked into the gym, all the battles I’ve had in here. Remember the good days and the bad days. Then there is another part of me that doesn’t like looking back too soon. I’ve got to stay in the moment. It’s kind of surreal. It’s surreal to be in the arena that I have driven past for years. Driving down 880 and wishing I could headline. Som požehnaný. Not a lot of people get the opportunity. I know a lot of great fighters who didn’t get the opportunity for one reason or another. And to have that opportunity, I don’t take it lightly.

“I’ve been given a tremendous opportunity. God has blessed me a lot. There’s an inscription in the bible that says to whom much is given, much is acquired. He’s given me a talent, and I’m probably not the most talented, but I want to make sure I use it the best I can. I’m running my race right now in this professional game, and when I look back I want to say that I didn’t cheat anybody, that I gave everything that I had, and this is what I have to show for it. Finishing strong is really important to me. Becoming an all-time great is really important to me. I’m just giving God a return on his investment, because he’s invested a lot in me. I’m thankful.”

 

ALEXANDER BRAND, Former WBC Latino Super Middleweight Champion:

 

“I didn’t want to show too much at this media workout but I’ve got something in store for the day of the fight.

 

“It doesn’t really matter that the fight is in Ward’s hometown, it’s going to be a fight. Wherever it is, whether it’s in his backyard or anywhere else, I’m coming to fight and that’s the most important thing.

 

“It’s nothing new for me, Bojoval som u 175 pounds in the amateurs. My last fight in December was at 175 pounds against an undefeated Russian when Andre Ward got hurt and couldn’t fight me on the Cotto-Canelo card.

 

“Whatever Ward brings, I’m going to have something for him.

 

“Ward still has 12 rounds to fight before he can think about Kovalev.”

Roc Nation Sports’ sparkplug Maurice “Mighty Mo” Hooker also looks to ignite Oracle Arena as the card’s co-feature in a 10-round NABO Junior Welterweight Title clash against Tyrone Barnett.

 

Maurice “Mighty Mo” Hooker (20-0-2, 15 KO) was born and raised in Oak Cliff, Texas, a suburb of Dallas, where he found a boxing home at Maple Avenue Boxing Gym by way of an outreach program for at-risk youths. His natural talent was soon noticed resulting in him competing as an amateur, during which time he participated in over 100 boja, compiling a record of 97 výhry a iba 7 straty, s 67 victories coming by way of knockout. Hooker turned professional on April 29, 2011, taking on the vastly more experienced Tyrone Chatman at the Orpheum Theater in St. Louis. After four rounds, the judges saw the fight 40-36, 37-39 a 38-38, making the fight a split draw. Undeterred, in his next fight on June 24, 2014, Hooker scored his first professional win, knocking out Wilbert Mitchell in the first round at the Dr. Pepper Arena in Frisco, Texas. Eleven wins (eight by knockout) later, he took on undefeated Abel Ramos on January 17, 2014 in a bout that was featured on ShoBox from the Cook Convention Center in Memphis.

Four consecutive knockout victories would follow before he took on fellow undefeated prospect Eduardo Galindo on June 26, 2015 at the Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center in Dallas for the vacant NABO Junior Welterweight Championship. “Mo” did not disappoint his legion of hometown fans who saw him capture the title with a sixth round technical knockout victory. Októbra 17, 2015, Hooker successfully defended his title at Madison Square Garden in New York City against his toughest opponent to date in Ghislain Maduma. The 10-round decision win came on the undercard of Gennady Golovkin vs. David Lemieux and was featured on the event’s “freeview” as well as streamed online around the world. “Mighty Mo” made his debut under the Roc Nation Sports banner on the undercard of Andre Ward vs. Sullivan Barrera, this past March at Oracle Arena in Oakland, AKO, where he annihilated opponent Wilfrido “La Roca” Buelvas of Columbia in the first round of a 10-round junior welterweight bout by way of technical knockout. Hooker looks to advance his undefeated record when he takes on Tyrone Barnett (23-4-1, 15 KO) na August 6 na Oracle Arena. Barnett was in action this past February, with a technical knockout victory over Daniel Attah at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. The D.C. native is eager to stop Maurice Hooker’s momentum and take home the NABO title.

Having compiled an exceptional amateur record of 99-8, Rudy “The Revelation” Puga. Jr. (8-0, 7 KO), the promising prospect from Salinas, California made his professional debut on September 2, 2011, scoring a fourth round technical knockout victory over Raul Talamontes at the Sports Complex in his hometown. Back in the ring less than two months later, Puga Jr. raised his record to 2-0 with a first round technical knockout of Jose Jesus Hurtado at the Sherwood Inn in Salinas.

The Southern California native returns to the Bay Area on August 6 to face an opponent to be announced.

 

Brooklyn’s undefeated Junior “The Young God” Younan (9-0, 7 KO) is considered one of New York City’s best boxing prospects. Younan, trained by his father Sherif, a former professional boxer himself, began fighting competitively at age eight and only two years later was called a “boxing prodigy” by the New York Times. He compiled an amateur record of 90-5, racking up an impressive series of titles along the way including nine Junior Olympic championships, nine Junior Metro championships, eight New York State Silver Gloves championships and five Regional Silver Gloves championships. V 2011, he was crowned National Junior Golden Gloves champion and was U.S.A. Boxing’s number one rated junior boxer in his weight class. Less than a month after his 18th narodeniny, Younan made his professional debut on November 9, 2013, at the Aviator Sports and Events Center in Brooklyn, New York, stopping Kenneth Schmitz in the first round. During his recent match up on the Andre Ward vs. Sullivan Barrera undercard that took place March 26, 2016, Younan scored a four round unanimous decision over Christian Solarzano, pitching a shutout on all three scorecards.

Returning to Oakland on the Ward vs. Brand undercard, Younan is set to take on Jaime “Zarco” Solorio (5-2-2, 4 KO) na August 6. Fighting out of Baja, Kalifornia, the Mexico native is riding an undefeated streak in his last six fights.

 

Vo veku 20, Darmani Rock (3-0, 3 KO) is already drawing comparisons to former heavyweight greats of the past. Born and raised in Philadelphia, Rock was brought to a local boxing ring by his father at age twelve after he lost a street fight to neighborhood bullies. Standing at 6’4”, he moves with an unparalleled lightness and speed for a fighter his size. Rock earned nation-wide accolades following a banner year in 2014 when he took home the USA Boxing Junior and Youth Open, Youth Continental and Youth World super heavyweight titles. During the 2014 Junior and Youth Open in Reno, Nevada, Rock shut out the 2013 National Youth Champion, John Luna, 3-0. This impressive performance was followed by another super heavyweight title at the Youth Continental Championships in March 2014 in Quito, Ecuador where he defeated Argentina’s Kervin Espinola 3-0. Rock then took home the gold medal at the prestigious World Youth Championships in Bulgaria in April 2014 by a 2-1 decision over Germany’s Peter Kadiru. Rock also took home the 2014 World Junior Amateur Championship and capped off 2014 by being named Philadelphia’s Amateur Boxer of the Year at the annual Briscoe Awards. His most noteworthy win, však, came in May 2015 when he beat Cam Awesome in Las Vegas for the National Golden Gloves title. Rock also captured the 2015 U.S.. National Amateur super heavyweight championship. He ended his amateur career as the number one rated super heavyweight in the United States (and the number five rated super heavyweight in the world) deje 19-5 in national tournaments. Rock made his highly anticipated professional debut, after signing an exclusive promotional agreement with Roc Nation Sports, against Rockville, Maryland’s Carlos Black on May 13, 2016, as the co-feature of Roc Nation’s throne boxing card at the Armory in Washington, D.C.. Following a devastating left hook, Rock brought his opponent to the floor with a right-left combination at the 1:54 značka v prvom kole. Without wasting any time, Rock followed his impressive debut by demolishing his next two opponents, Bobby Favors and Hassan Lee, both by way of knockout in the first round of the respective bouts. Making his Oracle Arena debut on August 6, Rock looks to keep his fierce win streak alive when he takes on Mike Kyle (1-2-1, 1 KO). The Boise, Idaho native seeks to reaffirm the impression he has set on Oakland where he scored his first career win and knockout over James Kirby this past January.

 

Bilal “Rebellious” Mahasin (8-3-1, 1 KO) is no stranger to Oakland fight fans. A resident of the Bay Area’s eastern shore, Mahasin made his professional debut in 2002 with great promise, winning his first three fights. Novembra 10, 2013, he fought one of the area’s top junior welterweight fighters, Moris Rodriguez, at the Red Lion Hotel in Sacramento, Kalifornia. East Bay supporters made the trek to the state’s capital for Mahasin’s triumphant return which came by way of a six-round unanimous decision.

"Pokiaľ ide o samotný boj, je to veľmi jednoduché pre mňa ... niekto, kto ma pozná, vedia, ako pracujem a vedia, ako sa kliešť. Nechcem uviaznu v tom, čo bude ďalej. Nechcem uviaznu v tom, čo ľudia hovoria. Som si vedomý toho, čo bolo povedané. Ja viem, čo môj súper bol hovoriť a beriem ho za slovo.

Po shadowboxing v kruhu a niekoľko kôl na dierovacích vrecia, Všetky štyri bojovníci sa zúčastnil rozhovorov s členmi mediálnych v návštevnosti. Super Bowl šampión a Oakland natívne Marshawn Lynch, zanietený stúpenec Andre Ward, robil zvláštny vzhľad počas tréningu na podporu Ward.

 

Nižšie je to, čo bojovníci museli hovoriť počas záverečnej mediálnej tréning:

 

ANDRE WARD, Dvojnásobný majster sveta a prvotriedne libra-pre-búšiť stíhačka:

"Cítim sa dobre a som pripravený ísť. Som vrcholiť v pravý čas. Som jednoducho nadšený, že si to v sobotunoc.

 

"Použil som ísť Oracle Arena na 880 ako dieťa na ceste do kráľovskej fitnes a zaujímalo, či by som mohol robiť tu jeden deň a [tréner] Virgil [Hunter] hovorieval s dôverou, "Budeš titulok tam." Keď som bol starší, Použil som ísť do niektorej z kariet kladený na v aréne. Bol som ešte amatér a ja by som len snívať. Ďalšia vec, viete,, v 2009, Bol som v dreze alebo plávať boji proti Edison Miranda. keby som vyhral, tam bol pravdepodobne dobrá šanca, že by som sa dostať výstrel titulu a zvyšok je história. Tu sme opäť, Je to moja 7th Doba, Oracle a je to stále požehnaním.

 

"Bol to ten správny čas pre presun na svetlo heavyweight. Bola to kombinácia, ktoré nemajú tých správnych ľudí, bojovať, alebo chlapci, že nechcela, aby ma bojovať. Chcem byť skvelý. Jedná sa o typy pohybov máte robiť. Som študent tohto športu, a keď som študovať šport, To je to, čo velikáni vždy robili. Oni sa pohybujú hore. Tí veľkí nájsť spôsob, ako to urobiť a ja chcem byť v tomto rozhovore.

 

"Barrera je veľký telo. On je presvedčený,. Zdá sa byť dobrým Puncher. My sme ho vyzdvihnúť, pretože je soft touch. Vybrali sme ho, pretože on išiel, aby som pripravený a ukáž mi, čo to váhová kategória je všetko okolo. Ak sa pozriete na mojej kariéry, je tu miesto pre tune-up, ktorý som nemal veľa. Ak chcete bojovať najlepšie a ak nie ste bojovať najlepšie, Ak chcete bojovať číslo jeden uchádzač. To je to, čo robíme.

 

"Myslím, že som sa vyvíjajúci sa stala účinným bojovníkom. Idem keď musím pohnúť. Myslím, že to je krása každého športovca, ktorí nezneužíva svoje telo a naozaj berie svoje remeslo vážne. Videl som niekoľko článkov vyhlasovať som vynechal moje prime. Je to šialené pre mňa. Mám pocit, že som tak dobrý, ako som kedy bol. Bol som v boxe telocvični, bez veľa prestávky minulosti 20 leta. Môj mozog mi poďakoval za posledné dva roky. Moje telo mi poďakoval. Je mi mohol dať ďalšie dva roky v mojej kariére.

 

"Musím byť len ma. Kto som ich dosť. Nemám sa ukázať na Kovalev v dave v sobotunoc. Musíme zaviesť herný plán. Myslím, že to bude chcete odoslať správu, že to má poslať, a ak to tak nie je, potom bude [Kovalev] dostať správu, keď budeme bojovať.

 

"Ak nemám vyhrať tento boj, nie je nič dole na ceste. Ak nemám vyhrať tento boj, Nezaslúžim bojovať o titul. To je realita mojej situácii.

 

"Barrera nikdy bojoval človeka, ako som ja pred, aby mohli hovoriť dobrú hru. Môžu dominujú titulky vedúce k boju. Môžu povedať všetko hladkú veci chcú povedať. Chceme len dominujú titulky Nedeľa Ráno po boj je u konca. To je to, čo chcem zamerať. "

 

SULLIVAN BARRERA, Číslo jedna hodnotené IBF Ľahká ťažká váha uchádzačom:

"Som silnejší ako Ward. Mám kubánskej zázemie a som tam naučil veľa zručností. Viac ako čokoľvek iného, odhodlanie prekonať nič predo mnou mi pomôže poraziť Ward na Marec 26.

 

"Raz som v ringu, je to môj dom.

 

"Nech Ward má, Aj upraví na ňu a prekonať ju.

 

"Mám dve ruky. Má dve ruky. Mám nejakú prácu na Marec 26.

 

"Ja viem, Ward a Kovalev sú veľmi vysoko rešpektovaná a vytvárajú veľa peňazí a veľký záujem, ale oni nevedia, čo Sullivan Barrera je schopný robiť. Budem dokázať, že v sobotu.

 

"Nie som človek, ktorý má hľadať knockout. Moje boxerské zručnosti hovoria samé za seba. Bojujem Andre Ward a bojovať tu v Oaklande, takže si nemyslím, že rozhodnutie bude vydané v môj prospech.

 

"Pre všetkých fanúšikov, najmä kubánskej fanúšikovia, ktorí podporili mi prosím vedieť, ktoré prichádzajú Sobota, Budem robiť všetko, čo mám robiť, aby vyšiel víťazne. "

JOSEPH DIAZ JR., NABF mušia Champion:

"Nemôžem očakávať, že to, čo Jayson urobil Ronny Rios počas tohto boja. Musím ísť dovnútra, otestovať ho a upravte keď som v ringu.

 

"Ak sa naskytne príležitosť, kde je zranený a vidím, že moje údery sú mu ohromujúce, potom samozrejme Idem sa tam dostať, byť agresívny a uistite sa, beriem ho čo najskôr.

 

"Viem, ako sa na vnútornej strane, odrezaním prstenec a vziať to do tela hneď ho rozobrať. To bude, aby ho nepohybuje toľko a neskôr v kolesách môžem pristáť zákerné údery do hlavy. Chystám sa vziať do tela hneď.

 

"Psychicky som 100% pripravený. To je veľká sála v mojej kariére, tak som psychicky zameraná. Som dobre pripravený. Mám pocit, že je to vo chvíli, keď som čakala celý môj celý život. Mám pocit, že som na to pripravený a ja sa nemôžem dočkať Marec 26. Som trénoval veľmi ťažké pre tento boj a ja som dobre pripravený na to.

 

"Naozaj chcem, aby urobil vyhlásenie tomto boji. Chcem ukázať svetu, že Joseph Diaz by mohol byť ďalšia veľká vec v boxe, takže som trénoval veľmi tvrdo, aby na veľkom boji pre boj fanúšikov, byť veľmi agresívny a urobiť z neho vojnu tam. Dúfam, že Jayson Velez je 110% pripravení, pretože chcem s ním byť u jeho najlepšie.

 

"Keď vyhrám tento boj a urobiť vyhlásenie, Myslím, že môžem presunúť do stavu contender a dúfajme, že získať svetový titul strieľal do konca tohto roka. Chcem bojovať proti tvrdej protivníkmi tento rok, pretože chcem ukázať svetu, kto som.

 

"Cítim sa ako zviera, keď som vstúpil do kruhu a vidím to v zápasení. Kedykoľvek som pristátie účinné údery, Môžem vám povedať, že som bolí protivníka. "

JAYSON VELEZ, Najlepšie hodnotené mušia uchádzačom:

"Na môj úrovni, Každý človek je najvyššia uchádzačom. Musím trénovať tvrdšie a zlepšiť svoju obranu. Pracoval som na tom.

Hooker, rated number seven by the WBO, is coming off of a career-best win on October 17, 2015 against his toughest opponent to date in Ghislain Maduma (17-2, 11 KO) v Madison Square Garden. Hooker successfully defended his NABO title with the 10-round decision win over Maduma on the undercard of Gennady Golovkin vs. David Lemieux in a fight that was featured on the event’s “freeview” in the United States and streamed online around the world. Buelvas, a former WBA Fedebol champion, has won two of his last three bouts by knockout and fought Humberto Soto for the WBC Silver International Super Lightweight title in 2014, going the 12-round distance before losing a decision to the former World Champion.

 

Born and raised in Oak Cliff, Texas, a rough suburb of Dallas, Hooker found a boxing home at Maple Avenue Boxing Gym by way of an outreach program for at-risk youths.

Featured for the second time on a Ward undercard, the sharp-boxing Franco will look to improve on his undefeated record against an opponent with literally six times his pro boxing experience. Meraz is only 29 years old but has already logged an amazing 90 professional bouts and has won four of his last six fights by knockout. He has fought current World Champion Juan Carlos Payano, Three-Time U.S. Olympian Rau’shee Warren and highly-touted prospect Gervonta Davis, going the distance with all three.

Júna 20, 2015, during Ward’s return to the ring at Oracle Arena, Franco saw action in an eight-round junior lightweight bout against Jonathan Alcantara and won by unanimous decision.

He compiled an amateur record of 90-5, racking up an impressive series of titles along the way including nine Junior Olympic championships, nine Junior Metro championships, eight New York State Silver Gloves championships and five Regional Silver Gloves championships.

He followed that fight with a first round knockout of Marlon Farr on August 13 the BB King Blues Club and Grill in New York on August 13.

Chinese heavyweight Zhang “Big Bang” Zhilei (7-0, 4 KO) joins the undercard on Marec 26 in a four-round bout against an opponent yet to be determined. The Silver Medalist from the 2008 Beijing Olympics continues to infuse excitement into the heavyweight division and is coming off of a first round technicalknockout win over David Koswara on February 20 at the Lanzhou Sports Arena in Lanzhou, Čína.

 

Born on May 2, 1983 in Henan, Zhang began his amateur career in 2003, participating in the World Championships. A breakthrough came in 2007 at the World Championships where Zhang defeated the trio of Nurpais Torobekov, Rustam Rygebayev and Daniel Beahan en route to the semifinals where he lost to Ukrainian Vyacheslav Glazkov. By capturing a bronze medal and finishing the competition in third place, he qualified for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. The Chinese powerhouse nearly reached the zenith of amateur success in the summer of 2008, entering the super heavyweight finals at the Summer Olympics in Beijing against Italy’s Roberto Cammarelle. It was not to be as Zhang suffered his first defeat of that Olympiad, losing to Cammarelle, but proudly adding to the host country’s medal total with a Silver. V 2009, Zhang captured a gold medal at the China National Games, an event of equal prestige to the Olympics in China. 2013 saw yet another gold medal winning performance in the China National Games, setting the stage for “Big Bang” to embark on a professional career while basing himself in the United States.

Na Marec 26, Coley will look follow his most recent victory, a unanimous decision over Jeremy Ramos onJanuár 23 at the Marriott on Broadway in Oakland, with another win in front of his hometown fans. Prior to his January win he scored two unanimous decision triumphs, including his June 20, 2015 performance against Yusmani Abreu (who Ryskeldiev defeated by technical knockout in September) on the undercard of Ward’s last fight. Considered a promising prospect in boxing circles, Coley’s lone loss came via decision to one of boxing’s hottest prospects in Ievgen Khytrov in a bout that was televised live on Showtime’s ShoBox on April 10, 2015 from The Aviator Sports Complex in Brooklyn, New York.
