Evo što su sudionici tiskovne konferencije imali reći u četvrtak:

GERVONTA DAVIS

“Moj tim i ja odlučili smo preseliti svoj kamp u Las Vegas kako bismo mogli imati savršen kamp. Potrošili smo 15 tjedana na treningu, tako da sam dobro pripremljen. Nadamo se da je Leo dobro pripremljen i dajemo navijačima ono što žele vidjeti.

“Znamo da će Leo doći s puno udaraca i da ću biti eksplozivan. Sve je u tome da obožavateljima pružite poslasticu. Zahvalan sam što sam na ovoj poziciji i spreman sam. Subota navečer bit će noć za pamćenje.

“Ne uzeti mu ništa, Yuriorkis Gamboa samo je pokušavao preživjeti protiv mene. Teže je skinuti udarce kad netko ne pokušava donijeti borbu. Znam da će se Leo doći boriti. Mislim da će me ova izvedba podići na sljedeću razinu.

“Mislim da ga ne moram nokautirati, Jednostavno moram tamo izaći i biti sjajan. Zaboravi sve ostalo, Jednostavno moram izaći tamo i pokazati svima da sam najbolji čovjek u svijetu boksa. To mi je glavni cilj.

“Michael Jordan znao je čitati novine i raditi ono što su govorili da ne može. To je ono što radim. Moram dokazati da sam u subotu navečer najlošiji čovjek u tom sportu.

“Leo će se doći boriti i samo se ja pojačam i radim ono što radim najbolje. Potencijal u borcu možete vidjeti izvana, ali morate vidjeti kako to zapravo izlazi u borbi da biste u to povjerovali. U tom sam položaju. Svi znaju da sam sjajna, Jednostavno to moram pokazati.

“Leo je pokazao da je vrhunski borac, i diže se protiv eksploziva, moćan borac poput mene. Mislim da bi pobjednik trebao biti u vrhu 10 popisa funta za funtu.

“Floyd Mayweather upravo mi je rekao da ostanem usredotočen unatoč svemu što dolazi s tjednom plati-po-gledanju. Prvo moram obaviti posao, ali i učiniti sve što dolazi s tim da budete sljedeća zvijezda s plaćanjem po prikazu.

“Jedan sam od onih boraca koji se znaju usredotočiti kad imam nešto veliko ispred sebe. Nitko od sjajnih boraca prije mene nije se smrznuo kad je vrijeme krčenja. Uvijek sam se mogao usredotočiti kad su velike stvari na redu. To sam učinio za ovaj trening kamp.

“Nisam zapravo fokusiran na nekoga tko nije Leo Santa Cruz. Ne mogu previdjeti Lea. Što se tiče bilo kojeg drugog borca ​​tamo, oni mi trenutno nisu važni. Dokazat ću to usput. Ovo je korak bliže dokazivanju onog što želim dokazati. "

LEO SANTA CRUZ

“To je ono o čemu sam oduvijek sanjao. Kad sam bio mali dječak, Htio sam biti na ovoj pozornici. Živim taj san i jako sam sretna i uzbuđena. Nikad nisam mislio da ću to postići. Mislio sam da je to poput dobitka na lutriji. Ali hvala navijačima, Ovdje sam gdje jesam.

“Suočavam se s najboljim borcem u diviziji. Ako želite biti najbolji, morate pobijediti najbolje. Moram ići protiv najboljeg borca. Htio sam se izazvati. Znam da je ovo opasna borba za mene, ali želim se testirati.

„Oboje smo pretrpjeli i prošli puno toga da bismo došli ovdje. Nitko od nas ne želi se vratiti tamo gdje smo započeli. Tako da znam da ćemo se oboje sjajno boriti s navijačima.

“Imam srce meksičkog ratnika. Tata mi je rekao da se borim pametno, ali iako će to reći, postoje dobre šanse da se na kraju ponekad posvađam s njim. Bez obzira, naći ćemo način da ga pobijedimo.

“Zapravo se ne brinem hoće li biti underdog. Svatko ima svoje mišljenje. Moj je posao otići tamo i dokazati da sumnjajući nisu u pravu. Vredno sam trenirao da odem tamo i odradim tu subotu.

“Gervonta je najbolji protivnik s kojim sam se suočio. On je najjači borac s kojim ću se suočiti. Borbe Abner Mares i Carl Frampton bile su sjajno iskustvo za ovu vrstu borbe. Puno sam naučio iz te četiri borbe i od tada sam naučio puno više.

“Značilo bi mi da svijet postanem prvak petoligaša. Bilo bi to još jedno ostvarenje sna. Stavio bih prezime Santa Cruz tamo gore s najboljima.

“Gervonta je krupan momak i znam da će ga teško udariti. Ali trenirao sam s većim momcima po cijelom kampu i uspio sam podnijeti sve što mi se baci.

“Navijači žele da idete i napravite rat naprijed-nazad. Znam da se protiv Gervonte moram pametno boriti. Jednostavno ću se potruditi poslušati očev savjet.

“Definitivno sam se borio da utihnem kritičare. Ljudi su govorili da se ne želim boriti protiv velikih imena. Pa sam krenuo nakon najvećeg izazova u diviziji, a to je Gervonta Davis.

“Mišljenja prepuštam navijačima i medijima. Moj posao je izvojevati pobjedu i pružiti navijačima veliku borbu. Dat ću sve od sebe i sve to ostaviti u ringu. "

CALVIN FORD, Davisov trener

“Kamp je bio sjajan. Bilo je nevjerojatno. Zaista cijenim rad koji je uložio. Jedva čekam da vidim Tanka u ringu. Radujem se sjajnim nastupima oba borca.

"'Tank' je postigao puno stvari koje sam od njega tražio, ali ovo je vrhunac svih njih ovdje. Obje ove obitelji hodale su istom linijom s različitim stazama. Oboje imaju šansu da ovom pobjedom postanu velikani.

“Svaki put kad sada pogledam‘ Tank ’, Vraćam se na one mlađe godine u teretani s njim kao dijete. Sad je čovjek kakav sam ga uvijek gledala. On je obiteljski čovjek, poslovni čovjek i divan borac. Nevjerojatno je vidjeti jednog od mojih dječaka koji su odrasli. "

JOSÉ SANTA CRUZ, Otac i trener Santa Cruza

“Imali smo zaista dobar trening kamp i razumijemo važnost ove borbe. Leo je u potpunosti spreman za ovu borbu u subotu i očekujem da će sjajno nastupiti.

“Jako sam zahvalna što sam ovdje. Tako sam sretna što sam ovdje sa svojim sinom zbog tako velike borbe i mogu ga voditi i pomoći mu da ostvari svoj san.

“Znamo da je Davis vrlo jak i uspješan borac. Ali Leo ga je upravo iskoristio da ga motivira u teretani svaki dan, a to ćete moći vidjeti u subotu. "

STEPHEN Espinoza, Predsjednik, Sport i programiranje događaja, Showtime Networks Inc.

“Jedan od najvećih razloga zbog kojeg volim boks je zato što moramo svjedočiti mladićima, poput 'Tank' Davisa i Lea Santa Cruza, razvijati se i sazrijevati pred našim očima. Ovo je naša deveta borba s 'Tankom' i 13th s Lavom. Vidjeli smo ih zrele kao borce i vidjeli smo ih zrele kao mladiće. Vidjeli smo ih kako se muče, znoj, i trijumf. Vidjeli smo kako su postali očevi. "

"Sjećam se kad sam prvi put sreo" Tank ", bio je travanj 2016 u Washingtonu, D.C. Bio je na neteleviziranom donjem dijelu borbe Adriena Bronera. Već se borio, prišao je za vrijeme prijenosa i Floyd ga je predstavio. Sjećam se baš njegovih riječi, ‘Ovo je moj mladi borac. Pazite na ovo dijete. ’I od tada gledamo.

“Sjećam se da sam Lea prvi put sreo u lipnju 2012. Nešto prije svoje prve borbe za svjetski naslov. Bio je vrlo skroman, miran, blago rečeno, gotovo sramežljivi mladići. Vrlo različito od tipa o kojem sam vidjela u ringu 48 sati nakon toga. Poanta je, bili smo zajedno za putovanje ovih mladića.

“Oni se bore protiv šansi, doslovno od rođenja. Imali smo sreće provesti vrijeme s njima tijekom All Access. Otvorili su svoja srca, njihov um, i sami da podijele svoje priče. Najviše sam čuo da poteškoća u ovoj borbi nije u tome žele li je ljudi gledati ili će je kupiti, to je za koga će navijati. Jer ako znate priče ovih mladića, što su prošli, i što su doživjeli, to je nevjerojatno.

„Suština je u tome što kod ova dva mladića imamo dva najuspješnija i najpopularnija mlada borca ​​u ovom sportu danas. Leo je od tada gotovo dosljedno prvak 2012. ‘Tank’ je imao rasprodaje ili u blizini prodaja u Los Angelesu, Baltimore i Atlanta, samo prošle godine. Ova dva izvrsna mladića su se potukla u subotu navečer. Morate poštivati ​​njihovo putovanje, odakle dolaze, i poštujte timove koji dolaze oko njega.

“Znamo što će se dogoditi u subotu navečer. Leo će doći u ring, bacajte puno udaraca i pokažite brzinu aktivnosti koja se razlikuje od gotovo svih ostalih u sportu. 'Tank' će pokazati snagu, brzina, i atletičnost koja ga je učinila jednom od mladih zvijezda s najbržim usponom koje smo vidjeli u sportu već neko vrijeme. Iznad toga, to će ovisiti o njima, baš kao što to ovisi o njima cijeli život. "

NAPOMENE U KAMPU ZA TRENING JUANA HERALDEZA

“U listopadu 31 svi će vidjeti za što sam sposoban," – Heraldez

Unbeaten Contender Juan Heraldez Faces Former World Champion Regis Prograis in SHOWTIME PPV® ActionSaturday, Listopad 31 Live From the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas in an Event Presented by Premier Boxing Champions

NEW YORK – Listopad 16, 2020 – Unbeaten super lightweight contender Juan Heraldez is deep into training camp and shared insights into his preparations as he nears a showdown against former champion Regis "Rougarou" Prograis u subotu, Listopad 31 live on SHOWTIME PPV in a Premier Boxing Champions event headlined by Gervonta Davis vs. Leo Santa Cruz live from Alamodome in San Antonio.

“It’s been a long eight-week camp preparing for Prograis,” said Heraldez. “We’re fighting a different style of fighter, which is a good thing because he’s the type of fighter who comes to fight. A style like this makes it easier for me to train and prepare.

“Prograis ima moć, ali morate ga sletjeti i tu nastupa moja obrana. Moja je obrana uvijek bila faktor i to je nešto što uvijek dotjerujemo i pronalazimo načine da budem oštriji. Na papiru su njegove isprave gore, ali u ringu sve to izlazi na vrata. Kad zazvoni zvono, Ne razmišljam o tome da je bivši svjetski prvak. Borim se i završavam posao. "

Heraldez se prilagodio promjenama nastalim treningom tijekom pandemije, i uspio je biti fokusiran tijekom cijelog kampa. Pripisuje mu infrastrukturu boksački klub Mayweather, gdje trenira u Las Vegasu, jer je pomogao da stvari teku glatko dok se priprema za suočavanje sa svojim najtežim protivnikom do danas.

“The pandemic has had a slight effect on camp like it has with everything else,” said Heraldez. “There are so many protocols and safety measures, so you can’t just rotate sparring partners as easily as you could before. Adjusting to wearing a mask in the gym and getting tested constantly are things you learn to get used to. The Mayweather Boxing Club has done a great job of keeping the gym clean and safe for all of us. A lot of my stablemates are here in Las Vegas preparing for big fights, so it’s a great feeling knowing that we can come to a gym where safety is the top priority.”

The unbeaten Heraldez will return to the ring after fighting former world champion Argenis Mendez to a draw in May 2019 na Showtime. Heraldez je sastavio impresivan niz pobjeda koje datiraju iz 2017 trijumf nad tada nepobjeđenim Joseom Miguelom Borregom, i uključivao je pobjedu nokautom nad Eddiem Ramirezom u veljači 2019 vodeći u borbu protiv Mendeza. Heraldez je nastavio usavršavati svoj arsenal u borbi protiv Prograisa.

“Moj tim i ja radili smo na raznim stvarima, poput mog uboda, ali najvažnije tamo gdje sam cijelo vrijeme u ringu,” said Heraldez. “Moja svijest o prstenu podigla je ovaj kamp. Moj trener i ja držimo stvari stare škole, nemamo trenera snage i kondicije, radimo na osnovama i postajemo bolji u svakom kampu. Boks je jednostavan. Držite se i pomičite i nemojte biti pogođeni. Trening koji treniram kod trenera Otisa Pimpletona pokriva toliko stvari kao što su kardio, tehnika, prsten IQ, itd, so my job is just to listen to my team and trust them when I’m in camp and in the ring on fight night.”

While Heraldez is looking to improve on the draw in his last fight, Prograis will be seeking to bounce back from his first career defeat, a memorable 140-pound unification clash with Josh Taylor. With both fighters hungry for a win on October 31, Heraldez expects an exciting night for fans.

“On fight night, both of our styles are going to make for great action,” said Heraldez. “We both bring a lot to the ring. We’re both fighting to be the best, but on October 31, everyone will see what I’m capable of.”

NEW YORK – Listopad 2, 2020 – Tri puta svjetski prvak Gervonta „Tank” Davis i četveroligaški svjetski prvak Leo "Potres" Santa Cruz will square off in a Halloween thriller for the WBA Super Featherweight and WBA Lightweight Championships live on SHOWTIME PPV Saturday, Listopad 31 (9 poslije podne. ET / 6 poslije podne. PT) u događaju koji su predstavili Premier Boxing Champions iz Alamodomea u San Antoniju, Teksas. The four-fight pay-per-view card will be the first major boxing event with fans in attendance since COVID-19 forced a halt to U.S. sports in March.

The stacked undercard will feature unbeaten San Antonio native and WBA Super Lightweight Champion Mario “El Azteca” Barrios defending his title against hard-hitting Ryan “Cowboy” Karl in the co-main event and former super lightweight world champion Regis "Rougarou" Prograis will take on unbeaten contender Juan Heraldez in a 10-round showdown. U TV prijenos otvarač, lightweight contenders Isaac Cruz a Diego Magdaleno will battle in an IBF title eliminator bout.

The highly anticipated main event will be contested at 130-pounds and will be fought for both Santa Cruz’s 130-pound title and Davis’ 135-pound title, which they each won in their previous fight. Two crowd favorites with massive followings, Davis vs. Santa Cruz is an all-action style matchup, with Davis owning a .957 knockout rate, while Santa Cruz is long established as one of the busiest punchers and best pressure fighters in the sport.

Davis vs. Santa Cruz will be a rare clash in boxing history in which world titles in two weight classes will be at stake. Other notable instances in recent boxing history are the 1988 Sugar Ray Leonard vs. Donny Lalonde fight for the light heavyweight and super middleweight titles, a 2014 Floyd Mayweather vs. Marcos Maidana rematch for the super welterweight and welterweight championships.

“I’m looking forward to showing the world how hard I’ve been working in camp,"Rekao je Davis. “We are just a few weeks away, and I’m already in great shape.

Thank you to my team, SHOWTIME, Mayweather Promotions, GTD Promotions, and all my fans worldwide. Keep supporting me and I’ll fight for you.”

“Listopad 31 is going to be the biggest fight of my career,” rekao Santa Cruz. “I’m going to fight a very tough opponent, maybe the toughest opponent of my career. Two titles are going to be on the line, and this will be my first time headlining a pay-per-view. So I’m going to do everything that I can to put on a good show. Davis is known for his power. But I think with my experience and ring IQ I can break him down. He’s probably going to be very aggressive in the early rounds. But if I do what I’m supposed to, and execute our game plan, I will win.’’

Događaj promoviraju Mayweather Promotions, TGB Promocije, GTD Promocije i boksački klub Santa Cruz.

This fight between Gervonta Davis and Leo Santa Cruz is such a great fight that we had to have it with fans, which will be a first for a major boxing event since COVID-19 started,” said Floyd Mayweather, President of Mayweather Promotions and a 12-time, Svjetski prvak u pet divizija. “Spremnik’ Davis is a special talent, a super skilled fighter and I have been in the gym regularly to watch and help him prepare for a tough opponent in Santa Cruz, who we all know always comes in shape and ready to fight.

Davis (23-0, 22 Kos) burst onto the scene with an explosive knockout victory over Jose Pedraza to win the IBF Junior Lightweight World Title in a star-making performance on SHOWTIME® u siječnju 2017. U trenutku, he became the youngest world champion in boxing at age 22. U prstenu, Davis blends controlled aggression with blazing hand and foot speed, eye-catching power and sublime boxing skills. The dynamic combination of skills has made Davis a fan-favorite who filled arenas in Atlanta, Ga., and his hometown of Baltimore, Merilend, prošle godine.

The 25-year-old began his 2019 with a knockout of Hugo Ruiz in February, before scoring a second-round stoppage of Ricardo Núñez in his homecoming fight in July. Davis closed out the year by capturing his lightweight title via 12th round TKO of former champion Yuriorkis Gamboa in December. Davis also owns a title-winning performance in which he dominated former champion Jesus Cuellar to capture the WBA 130-pound belt in 2018. Under the guidance of Mayweather Promotions, Davis will look to further improve his impressive portfolio with another title-winning performance in his first pay-per-view main event.

Borba iz Los Angelesa, Santa Cruz (37-1-1, 19 Kos) made his debut at super featherweight last November by defeating Miguel Flores to capture the WBA title. Santa Cruz has made his name in the sport by engaging in numerous Fight of the Year contenders, including two thrilling featherweight title duels against four-time champion Abner Mares and two-division champion Carl Frampton each. He lost his featherweight title in his first match against Frampton in 2016, but reclaimed it in their rematch the following year.

The 32-year-old has competed in title bouts in 17 od njegova posljednja 19 borbe, while picking up belts at 118, 122, 126 and 130-pounds. The 130-pound title made Santa Cruz just the fifth fighter of Mexican descent to win titles in four weight classes, joining Oscar De La Hoya, Erik Morales, Jorge Arce and Mikey Garcia. Santa Cruz was introduced to the sport and trained throughout his career by his father Jose, along with his brothers Jose Armando, a former lightweight contender, Antonio. Santa Cruz will look to become a five-division champion in his first pay-per-view headliner.

The 25-year-old Barrios (25-0, 16 Kos) will be making the first defense of his world title in his hometown of San Antonio. Barrios captured his 140-pound title in his last fight in September 2019, earning a hard-fought unanimous decision over then-unbeaten Batyr Akhmedov, dropping him twice and fighting through a cut suffered on a head butt. Barrios trains in Oakland, Kalif. under the guidance of renowned coach Virgil Hunter. The five-foot ten-inch Barrios debuted as a super bantamweight in 2013, eventually moving up to 140-pounds full time in 2017 where he is 8-0 with seven knockouts.

“The long layoff is finally over and fans can expect to see me go to war with Ryan Karl, who I know is coming to bring an aggressive fight to the table,” said Barrios. “I’ve stayed in great shape during this past year, so now it’s time for me to keep giving boxing fans exciting fights. I’ll be representing my city of San Antonio and as always, everyone can expect to see me as explosive as ever. Listopada 31, all the fans watching on pay-per-view will watch me make a statement as I defend my title.”

Born in Milano, Texas and now trained in Houston under the tutelage of top trainer Ronnie Shields, Karl (18-2, 11 Kos) will step in for his first title opportunity on October 31. The 28-year-old enters this fight on a three-bout winning streak, with all three wins coming in 2019, including a knockout of Kevin Watts to avenge one of his losses in an immediate rematch. Karl also owns victories over Kareem Martin and then-unbeaten Jose Felix Quezada during his pro career that dates back to 2014.

“I’ve been training for this my whole life and I’m not going to let it slip away,” said Karl. “We’re working hard in training camp to put on the best performance of my career. We know what we’re up against in Mario Barrios, but I’ve come too far not to take full advantage of this opportunity on October 31.”

A staple of the 140-pound elite, PROGRAMI (24-1, 20 Kos) returns to the ring after losing his title in an exciting unification clash via majority decision last October against Josh Taylor. The 31-year-old won his title by defeating Kiryl Relikh by TKO in April 2019 and has also earned stoppage victories over former unified champion Julius Indongo, and then-unbeaten contenders Joel Diaz Jr. and Juan Jose Velasco. Prograis was born in New Orleans but lives and fights out of Houston.

“This is a huge fight and I’m very thankful to PBC for giving me this opportunity,"Rekao Prograis. “I haven’t fought in a year and since then I’ve done a lot of self-reflection and moved from L.A. back to Texas. I’m more focused than I’ve ever been and I can’t wait to get back to my number one spot in the super lightweight division. I have to be a world champion again and I won’t stop until that happens.”

The 30-year-old Heraldez (16-0-1, 10 Kos) can vault himself into the top tier of 140-pound contenders with a career-best victory over Prograis on October 31. Born in Northridge, Cal. and training out of the Mayweather Promotions gym in Las Vegas, Heraldez most recently fought to a majority draw last May against former champion Argenis Mendez. Heraldez’s pro career has also seen him score victories over previously unbeaten Jose Miguel Borrego and tough contender Eddie Ramirez.

“It’s been a crazy year, but I took this opportunity to spend time with my family and sharpen my skills inside the ring,” said Heraldez. “There’s been a lot of great sparring happening at the Mayweather Boxing Club that I’ve taken advantage of. Ispred sebe imam žilavog protivnika, and that’s my only focus right now. I trust in my ability as a fighter and I trust my team to get me over the finish line with a victory on October 31. I’m thankful to Mayweather Promotions for putting me on such a large platform for this fight.”

Fighting out of his native Mexico City, Meksiko, Križ (19-1-1, 14 Kos) is unbeaten in his last 15 fights since dropping his sixth pro fight by decision. The 22-year-old knocked out 10-of-13 opponents between 2016 a 2018, before making his U.S. debut in December 2019. That contest saw Cruz earn a unanimous decision over Miguel Perez, which he followed up in February of this year by defeating Thomas Mattice by decision on ShoBox: Nova generacija.

“Since I started boxing, it has been my dream to fight on this stage in the United States,", Rekao je Cruz. “I know that Diego Magdaleno is a very tough and experienced fighter, but it’s my time on October 31. The fans will see that I have what it takes to be world champion when I beat Magdaleno and announce myself as one of the best lightweights in the world.”

Magdaleno (32-3, 13 Kos) enters this fight coming off of an impressive victory over contender Austin Dulay in February that saw him drop Dulay on his way to a unanimous decision. The 33-year-old has challenged Roman Martinez for a 130-pound title and Terry Flanagan for a lightweight crown, while also battling lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez in February 2019. A Las Vegas native, Magdaleno has won four-of-five fights entering October 31, including a 10-round decision over Artyom Hovhannisyan.

“I’ve been super eager to get back into the ring since my last performance,”Rekla je Magdaleno. “That win sparked a fire in me and got me as motivated as I’ve ever been. Now that I’m in a title eliminator, I’m even more excited to return to action. I’m facing another young lion, but he’s lacking the experience that I have. Training with Bones Adams has made a world of difference in my career. I’ve made a transition to being more composed and smarter in the ring. I’m here to make a statement and claim what’s mine. I’m never going to back down until I get that world title.”

Kareem Martin in Battle of Prospects
FLINT, MOJ. – (Listopad 4, 2017) – Former super middleweight world champion Anthony Dirrell (30-1-1, 24 Kos) će zadovoljiti Denis Douglin (20-5, 13 Kos) in a 10-round bout that headlines a Premier Boxing Champions special edition of TOE do pete utorkom na FS1 i Boks prvaka on FOX Deportes on November 17 from Dort Federal Credit Union Center in Flint, Michigan at 10:30 poslije podne. I/ poslije podne. PT.
The 10-round bout is a homecoming for Dirrell, who was born and raised in Flint along with his brother and top contender, Drugo. It will be the third time that he has fought in his hometown with the 32-year-old’s last outing in Flint ending with a knockout of Dante Craig at Atwood Stadium on July 2, 2011. Since losing his title via majority decision to Badou Jack in 2015, Dirrell has won three straight bouts including his most recent fight, a fifth-round stoppage of Norbert Nemesapati in January.
Ulaznice za događaj uživo, which is promoted by TGB Promotions and A.D.D. Enterprises, begin at $20. Za kupnju ulaznice, visit the Dort Federal Credit Union Center box office or Ticketmaster.com.
Douglin has fought a lot of good fighters and I respect him, but he’s standing in the way of my title shot,” Said Dirrell. “This is a chance for me to showcase my skills. I’m going for a stoppage, and I think I’m going to get it in the middle rounds. I want to put on a great performance and give the fans something to see. I’m going to get the job done.
The 29-year-old Douglin of Marlboro, NJ. has stood in against some of the toughest boxers in the sport, including 168-pound champions David Benavidez and George Groves, plus 154-pound champion Jermell Charlo. In his last match, Douglin lost on a TKO to Benavidez after winning three straight bouts by stoppage.
I’ve taken a lot of fights on short notice and that’s hurt me in the past, but I’ve had ample time and a great training camp to prepare for this fight,” said Douglin. “I think Dirrell has a problem with guys who aren’t afraid of him and who will actually give him a fight. With my style and determination, I’m going to bring a lot more than he’s expecting. I’m going to bring it for 10 rounds and I know I’ll have my arm raised at the end of the day.
Jamontay Clark (12-0, 7 Kos) a Ivan Golub (13-1, 11 Kos) will meet in an eight-round welterweight bout that serves as a rematch of their exciting Lipanj 30showdown which ended with Clark winning a unanimous decision.
The 23-year-old Clark of Cincinnati, Ohio is looking to remain unbeaten and pick up his third victory of the year, while the 28-year-old Golub, who was born in Ukraine and now lives in Brooklyn, wants to hand Clark the first loss of his career and erase what he believes was a bad decision in their first fight. Coming into the first fight between the two southpaw welterweight prospects, Golub had stopped seven straight opponents.
Ryan “Kauboj” Karl (14-1, 9 Kos) održat će se na Kareem Martin (9-1-1, 3 Kos) in an eight-round junior welterweight match that opens televised coverage. The 25-year-old Karl of Houston is coming off a unanimous decision victory over Carlos Winston Velasquez in his last fight on Srpanj 18 as he bounced back from the first loss of his career when he lost to Eddie Ramirez in February.
The 22-year-old Martin of Washington D.C. scored a unanimous decision victory over Evincil Dixon in his last fight on Kolovoz. 12 as he works his way back from a defeat to David Grayton last year.
Anthony Dirrell headlining in his hometown of Flint will be a great treat for boxing fans in the area,” said Tom Brown, Predsjednik TGB Promocije. “This is something that Anthony Dirrell has wanted for a long time and I’m sure that he is going to be at his absolute best and look to really impress in front of his fans on Studeni 17. He will have a tough challenge from the strong Denis Douglin, but if he’s able to get by him, we could see Anthony Dirrell fighting for a world title in the very near future.

TUNICA, MS (Veljača 2, 2017) – Bivši svjetski prvak Luis Collazo (37-7, 20 Kos) delivered an early “Knockout godine” candidate with a sixth-round knockout of welterweight contender Sammy Vasquez Jr. (21-2, 15 Kos) Četvrtak noć u glavnom slučaju Premier Boks prvaka na FS1 and FOX Deportes from Horseshoe Tunica Hotel & Casino in Tunica, Misisipi.
The Brooklyn-native Collazo started slow as Vasquez Jr. looked to control the fight with his movement and jab. The action began to pick-up in the third round as Collazo struck the first major blow of the fight, connecting on a right hand that sent Vasquez Jr. to the canvas.
Vasquez Jr. stunned Collazo early in the fourth round with an overhand left and pressed forward to initiate numerous exchanges along the ropes. Collazo was able to hold off his younger opponent and do damage with body shots and short punches in the exchanges.
After a more tactical round five, Vasquez Jr. once again pushed forward on Collazo in the hopes of getting his offense going. The veteran Collazo was prepared for the attack and connected on a vicious right hand that put Vasquez on the mat and out for good as referee Bill Clancy halted the bout at 1:27 u krug.
U velter kategorija akciji, fast-rising Cuban contender Yordenis Ugas (18-3, 8 Kos) earned a split-decision over Levan Ghvamichava (17-3-1, 13 Kos) in their 10-round bout Četvrtaknoć.
It was the third straight impressive victory for Ugas, who has put himself squarely in the conversation in the welterweight division. Ugas was in control of the early part of the fight, winning exchanges in the middle of the ring and breaking through the high and tight guard of Ghvamichava.
Ghvamichava was able to work his way back into the fight with an increased work rate in the middle rounds as he began to find openings in Ugasdefense. Referee Bill Clancy deducted a point from Ugas in round eight after multiple warnings for low blows.
The action heated up in the final two rounds as both men exchanged heavy blows throughout. Ugas began to land his left hook successfully but Ghvamichava had his moments and continued throwing punches until the final bell. After 10-rounds of action the judges scores were 99-90, 97-94 for Ugas and 95-94 for Ghvamichava.
In a showdown of unbeaten super lightweight prospects, Chicago's Eddie Ramirez (16-0, 11 Kos) earned a stoppage victory after nine rounds of action against Houston’s Ryan Karl (13-0, 9 Kos). Karl’s corner stopped the fight before the 10th i finalni krug.
Ramirez was the more effective fighter from the start, working off of his jab to hit Karl with a big right hand that staggered him in the second round. Karl was able to weather the storm and compete throughout the middle rounds of the fight as he threw constant power punches in an attempt to catch Ramirez.
The momentum swung to Ramirez for good starting in the seventh round, when another right hand connected with Karl and opened up a cut over Karl’s left eye. A late flurry by Ramirez in round nine as he staggered Karl near the ropes and forced him to hold Ramirez. Karl was able to finish the round, but did not answer the bell for round 10 as his corner put a halt to the fight.
Evo što su borci imali za reći Četvrtak:
Luis Collazo
Going into the fight I knew he didn’t like the body shots. In the locker room my team was telling me that he’s going to be waiting for it. We wanted to touch him soft down low and then go up top. We opened him up. We both tried to line up the hook and mine landed first.
I’m a slow-starter. I’m better from a distance and I have the experience. Ja sam 35 but I still feel like I have a lot left in the ring.
I’ve learned a lot about myself. I’m completely dedicated to this sport and ready to keep moving forward. Everyone said I was faded but now I have the opportunity to keep going.
Sammy caught me with some good shots. He got me with a big overhand left. On je jak borac.
There are a lot of great fights coming up in the welterweight division. I know Shawn Porter doesn’t have an opponent right now. I’m ready to get it on if he is.
SAMMY VASQUEZ JR.
I felt like I was starting to get in my groove. He just caught me with a really great shot at the right time.
I knew his big punch was the right hook. I was working on keeping my hand up to block it. I dropped it at the wrong time and he got me.
Obviously this is going to set me back. I need to come back stronger. I hope that I can come back and fight someone that can help me move up the ranks.
YORDENIS UGAS
I boxed from a distance like we prepared. I thought that I was in control and I thought I won easily.
I was surprised it was a split-decision. I thought I won most of the rounds. He was a very tough opponent but I was ready for him and I did what I wanted to do.
I was feeding off of my corner. I’m a top contender and I’m ready to face anybody.
LEVAN GHVAMICHAVA
I’m disappointed in the result. It’s hard to put into words. To je u neposrednoj blizini borba. I thought a lot of his shots were being blocked and I thought I countered well.
The referee did his best to control he low blows. You don’t want a fight to end in disqualification. But taking those shots effects everything.
EDDIE RAMIREZ
“Sretan sam. We worked hard and this is another step. We’re going to keep working hard. I have what it takes to be a world champion.
Ryan Karl is a tough fighter. He came to give it all he had. He didn’t want to quit, but we broke him down and got the win.
Karl and I both came to win. Someone’s perfect record had to go. There was no quit in him. I was going to finish the fight in the last round.
My plan was to break him down. I never wanted this fight to go to decision. I did what I had to do.
I’m aiming high. Želim se boriti najbolje. If I keep working hard everything is going to take care of itself and I’ll get where I want to.
I wanted to make him miss a lot while also being aggressive. We were ready to finish him off, we just wanted to go little by little and get the win.
RYAN KARL
I just wasn’t on večeras. I couldn’t hit my right hand how I wanted to. I give him all the credit. My timing wasn’t right. He looked great and I looked mediocre.
It’s disappointing. Boxing is my job. I lost a lot in there. I have to get better. All that matters is winning the fight.

Here is what Vasquez Jr. had to say about training, his matchup against Collazo and more:
On his upcoming opponent, Luis Collazo:
This is a very challenging fight but one I believe I can win. Now that Collazo is one hundred percent healthy, I know he’s going to be at his best. We both are trying to get back on top so the fans can expect a great fight.
On his recent training camp:
It’s been a great training camp. We got a lot of good southpaw sparring and I feel sharp going into this fight. All the preparation has been done and now it’s time to fight. I’ll be at my best come fight night.
On what he learned from his first defeat:
It was a tough loss in my last fight with the late sub Felix Diaz. Although we fought another southpaw, our game plan was for Collazo, who is a totally different style. In this game, I must be prepared for any style that comes my way. I know that now and I’ll be fully prepared for anything that Collazo brings.

On what a win will do for his career:
A win against Collazo will get me right back in the mix of things in the welterweight division. With only one loss on my record, I feel I still have a lot to give to this sport. A victory will open up a path to fight for a world title.

Evo što su borci imali za reći u utorak:
SAMMY VASQUEZ JR.
Luis Collazo is a really tough opponent. He’s always game. It doesn’t matter who he fights. I always enjoyed watching him growing up because he’s quick, strong and savvy.
This is a fight I’ve been looking forward to. Collazo has fought everyone and he always gives a great fight. I couldn’t have thought of anybody better to have a great fight on television against. Everyone who knows the two of us, knows we’re going to come to fight.
He’s never really been knocked out, just the mishap in the Thurman fight. Collazo hurt Thurman, and that’s a guy in his prime. Collazo isn’t in his prime, but age is just a number in this sport.
We’re prepared. We know he’s a southpaw just like my last opponent. We were originally supposed to face him before Felix Diaz stepped in. The game plan is for me to dictate how this fight goes. I have to set the pace and control it.
As long as I can control the fight, it’s smooth-sailing for me. I know he’s got a hard head and he’s going to come forward, so I think it’s going to be an exciting fight.
Luis Collazo
Sammy is a tough fighter. He’s been moving up in the ranks and faced some decent opposition. We’re both lefties and I think it’s going to be an explosive fight.
This is another tough fight for me. I’ve been in there with the top guys and everyone knows I’m going to give it my all. I’m grateful to be back in this position. There are great fight fans here in Mississippi and I’m going to give them something to cheer about.
I’m blessed to be able to do what I love to do and I do it with passion and drive. I hope everyone enjoys what happens četvrtak noć, because I know I will.
I’ve been in this game for 17 years as a pro. I’ve seen every type of fighter. We’ll find outČetvrtak night how much I have left. Sometimes fighters can get counted out, but people don’t understand what’s going on behind the scenes. My preparation for this fight was great and we’ll find out Četvrtak if it translates to the ring.
YORDENIS UGAS
“Veselim se ovoj borbi. I hope to give a great performance and continue on my way toward a world title.
I’ve had a perfect training camp and I’m prepared to get a victory. This is my time to make another statement to all of the top fighters in the division. I’m ready for any challenge.
LEVAN GHVAMICHAVA
I’ve worked very hard in training camp to prepare for this fight. I’m excited to be here and have this opportunity to give the fans a great show.
I’m going to give it my all in the ring and make sure I walk out of there with the victory. I know that I have a tough opponent, but I’m confident in my training and my skills.
