NATIONAL HARBOR (Lub peb hlis ntuj 25, 2019) – Yav tas los lub ntiaj teb champion Sergey Lipinets (15-1, 11 Kos) stopped former two-division champion Lamont Peterson(35-5-1, 17 Kos)nyob rau hauv puag ncig 10 Sunday night in an action-packed welterweight showdown that headlined Premier Boxing Champions on FS1 and FOX Deportes from MGM National Harbor in Maryland.

I feel great about the statement I made to the welterweight division,” said Lipinets. “I just fought an excellent fighter. This let me know where I’m at in the 147-pound weight class. I went into deep waters and showed that I belong.

The fight featured near non-stop action and a thrilling finish, already earning Fight of the Year buzz after itsconclusion. Peterson only occasionally retreated in defense for a moment or two while Lipinets was determined to close off the distance, making sure he didn’t let Peterson use his reach advantage, while using his own varied attack on the inside to occasional success.

You can see that I have no problem with the size,” said Lipinets. “Peterson is an excellent fighter with unbelievable skills and he’s showed me what I can really do.

Peterson was dedicated to attacking the body, punctuating numerous combinations with vicious left hooks to the midsection. He was the busier fighter but was still taking shots from Lipinetscombination of hooks, uppercuts and body shots. Eventually one of those shots appeared to change the tide of the fight, when a straight right from Lipinets connected and clearly hurt Peterson.

The counter put Peterson on his back foot and in survival mode for the final minute of the eighth round until hearing the bell. With the momentum sharply turning toward Lipinets through round nine and midway through round 10, Lipinets finally landed a sweeping left hook during an exchange that hurt Peterson and signaled that the end was near.

It was back and forth and we were hitting each other with some good shots,” Hais Peterson. “It kind of just came out of nowhere at the end.

Lipinets followed up and put Peterson on the canvas as the towel came in from Peterson’s corner, stopping the fight at 2:59 ntawm puag ncig 10.

The exciting action fight featured both fighters throwing a career high number of punches, according to CompuBox. Both fighters landed a nearly identical number of power punches (189-188 for Peterson), with Lipinets landing 23 in each of the final two rounds.

You’ve seen what I did at 140-pounds and now what I can do here,” said Lipinets. “I made a big jump in competition from my last fight to this one. My new trainer Joe Goossen gets all the credit. We’ve had an excellent camp with perfect sparring that taught me a lot and got me ready for tonight.

There were no easy days in our gym for training camp,” said Goossen. “I feel like we clicked together and he got the best out of me because he was so agreeable to my methods and the way I pushed him.

I thought Sergey’s defense was very good tonight. His jab worked good and he put real pressure on. The left uppercut was a good shot for him and he used a variety of punches in this fight to get it done.

Tom qab kev sib ntaus. Peterson, along with lifelong trainer and fellow Washington, D.C.-native Barry Hunter, announced his retirement from boxing in front of his hometown fans after a career that saw him win titles at 140 thiab 147-phaus.

It’s been a long career but today is the day,” Hais Peterson. “I’m thankful for the support. I love everyone here and I’m always going to support this area, but I’m sure it’s time for me to hang it up. I couldn’t go out in a better way here at home. This will be the last time you see me in the ring.

The night also featured Anthony Peterson (37-1-1, 24 Kos), Lamont’s brother, as he fought to a split-draw against former champion Argenis Mendez (25-5-2, 12 Kos) in a back-and-forth super lightweight showdown.

Peterson established his movement early on as he looked to pick his spots to attack Mendez with combinations to the head and body. Peterson flashed good speed and was the busier fighter especially early, often putting Mendez on the defensive during flurries in the first half of the fight.

I could have thrown more punches in the first half of the fight,” said Mendez. “I think that was the difference, but I don’t think you can win the fight on the run.I knew that I was on his home turf and it was in my mind to do a little bit extra. Peterson is a great fighter and he’s good for the sport so I knew that I had to push the fight.

Mendez began the fight looking to counter, but picked up his offense working off of a jab that swelled up Peterson’s left eye in the late rounds of the fight. Mendez was able to land with left hooks and uppercuts to open up his offense as the fight went on.

Last night was actually the first night I really studied Mendez’s fights and I knew he was good and slick,” Hais Peterson. “There were times I didn’t engage cause of his countering. I took my time and used my jab and moved.

While Peterson held a robust 137 rau 83 advantage in punches landed, it was only a six punch difference in power punches landed. Tom qab 10 rounds all three judges saw the fight differently, with one score of 96-94 for each fighter and the third judge scoring it 95-95 resulting in the split draw.

I didn’t think it was a draw,” said Mendez. “I know every round was close, but I think I won the fight. I don’t want to say it was easy but I think I won comfortably. He was running the whole fight and I was trying to throw counterpunches and catch him.

I can’t be that disappointed because I didn’t lose, but I was just happy to fight in front of my fans,” Hais Peterson. “I’ve been out of the ring for a long time and I think did okay, but if the judges saw a draw they saw a draw. I’m not mad about it.

Additional action featured super welterweight contender Jamontay Clark (14-1, 7 Kos) surviving an early knockdown to earn a narrow unanimous decision over previously unbeaten Vernon Brown (10-1-1, 7 Kos) tom qab 10 rounds of action.

Brown scored the first big blow of the bout, landing a perfect counter right hook on the inside that sent Clark crashing into the ropes. Referee Kenny Chevalier ruled it a knockdown, determining that Clark had used the ropes to avoid hitting the canvas.

He had the reach and I was trying to catch him. I was throwing my hook but I was a little off. I still think I won the fight. I caught him with the better shots. He was just slapping me with the hook and trying to catch up that way.

Clark was able to survive the onslaught and finish the round and appeared to recover until behing hurt again late in round four. Los ntawm muaj, Clark began to increase his punch output, out working Brown on his way to a 162 rau 97 advantage in total punches landed.

I boxed a little bit better the last few rounds and used my height,” Hais Clark. “I made him miss and made him over reach. That was the game plan.

Brown tried to do more work on the inside with big power punches that would hurt Clark and potentially end the fight. Raws li Compubox, tsuas 49 seconds on average per round were fought on the inside, allowing Clark to gain an advantage in the second half of the fight.

Tom qab 10 rounds the judges saw the fight close, but all three ruled in favor of Clark with totals of 96-93 ob zaug thiab 95-94.

I’ve been down before and I’ve seen the worst of the worst,” Hais Clark. “This was nothing. I just kept grinding. I got the win and now I’m going to sit down and see what’s next for me.

If they want to do it again, let’s do it again,” Hais Brown. “Let’s make it a 12 rounder. I don’t think he can survive 12 rounds nrog kuv. My coach knew that I needed the knockout but it’s still on to the next. I’m just going to go into the gym and work even harder.

Prior to the main telecast, PBC Prelims on FS1 saw Aaron Coley (16-2-1, 7 Kos) win a split-decision over Brandon Quarles (21-5-1, 10 Kos) los ntawm cov qhab nia ntawm 77-75 for Quarles and 79-73 thiab 78-74 for Coley after eight-rounds of super welterweight action.

Quebec NROOG, Quebec (Plaub Hlis Ntuj 1, 2015) – During Wednesday tus final press conference at Le Bonne Entente in Quebec City, both Adonis “Superman” Stevenson thiab Sakio “Lub Roob ris teb” Taurus promised a knockout when they meet in the main event of the debut presentation of Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) rau CBSTelevision Network this Saturday, Plaub Hlis Ntuj 4, ntawm 3 p.m. THIAB/Tav su PT.

 

The hard-hitting Stevenson (25-1, 21 Kos) will defend his light heavyweight world championship against former super middleweight world champion Bika (32-6-3, 21 Kos) in the main event from the Pepsi Coliseum nyob rau hauv Quebec City.

 

The case was the same with the co-main event fighters as both undefeated light heavyweight and two-time Russian Olympian Artur Beterbiev (7-0, 7 Kos) and former light heavyweight world champion Gabriel Campillo (25-6-1, 12 Kos) expected to win via KO no hnub vas xaum yav tav su. Campillo, sporting a Tom Brady jersey, even promised he would win in dramatic fashion like this year’s Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots.

 

Below are quotes from the fighters and trainers from Wednesday tus xovxwm sablaj:

 

Adonis Stevenson:

I know Sakio is going to try to take my title, but I’m prepared for that.

 

I know he was a champion. I made the move from 168 rau 175 pounds and it worked well for me. I expect him to bring his best at 175 phaus. He’s a former champ so I’m preparing to face a champion.

 

I’m looking for the KO because I’m from the Kronk Gym. Knockouts sell. But I can go 12 rounds, that’s not a problem. I train for 12 rounds.

 

My trainer has given me a great plan. He knows Sakio Bika very well and we’ll see what happens in the ring.

 

Bika is still going to have the same power moving up in weight. He should actually be stronger.

 

I’m very focused because I know Bika is very dangerous. I know he’s going to come into the ring and try to give me trouble.

 

I’m a knockout artist. I can do a lot in the ring, but first and foremost I’m a knockout artist.

 

I’d love to unify the belts eventually, but I’ll let my manager Al Haymon take care of that.

 

My mentor Emanuel Steward always told me that as soon as I enter the ring the knockout is what sells. I’ll definitely be going for the knockout no hnub vas xaum on CBS.

 

I’m ready to go toe-to-toe. Adonis Stevenson vs. Sakio Bika on CBS, baby.

 

 

Saki Bull:

To beat a great fighter you have to be your best. I’m looking to take the WBC title back home.

 

I’ve fought everyoneI’ve never ducked an opponentand I don’t know if he can handle the pressure.

 

I feel more comfortable at 175 phaus. I want to test the big boy [Stevenson] and I feel like I can do that. Nyob rau hnub Saturday we’ll see.

 

He’s knocked people out, tab sis kuv twb tsis tau lov. Nyob rau hnub Saturday I’ll be the one to knock him out.

 

I’m very hungry to get a world title back. I trained very hard at light heavyweight to get a title back.

 

I didn’t come here to Canada just to walk and look around. I came here to take this belt back home and I’m very confident I’m going to do that.

 

Training camp went very well, we put in good work and now we’re here in Canada ready to shock the world.

 

 

JAVANSUGARHILL:

Training camp was very good as always. Nothing different, just hard work perfecting his boxing and the basic fundamentals. We’re looking for him to make a mistake and catch him.

 

The way you prepare for an unorthodox fighter like Bika is to make sure your basics are sound. You have to have a good jab, you have to have good movement and you have to have ‘super powerAnd I have “Superman.

 

Emanuel also told me the knockout sells. It’s something that we both know and it’s something that is imbedded in us. We’re looking for the knockout on Plaub Hlis Ntuj 4. Sometimes I see things that Adonis is looking to do before he does it. So I’ll just be sitting there waiting for Adonis to catch Sakio Bika making a mistake and getting a knockout.

 

I’m super proud to represent Kronk Gym. That’s why I wear my hat here. Kronk to me is like my family name and that’s what I live by. I was born into Kronk when I was a little kid going to a tournament with my uncle Emanuel and all I remember is the Kronk fighters winning. And that’s what I do now: yeej.

 

Adonis is an artist, he’s a KO artist. Kuv twv ua ntej rau Saturday is a knockout on CBS.

 

There’s been a lot of talk and now it’s time for action. Toe-to-toe on Plaub Hlis Ntuj 4. Tsis txhob nco nws.”

 

 

KEVIN CUNNINGHAM:

“Peb muaj ib tug yawm kev kawm camp. Everyone was relaxed. We had great sparring.

 

He was making 168 pretty easy, but stepping up he’s able to eat whatever he wants. The weight is good. We think he’s going to be good and strong at 175. It’s a good move for him.

 

He’s never had any problems with power, so I think the extra weight and energy should be good for him at light heavyweight.

 

All this talk about Stevenson fighting (Sergey) Kovalev has motivated him pretty good. I think it gave him a pretty good picture of how the business of boxing works. He realizes that when the bell rings he needs to do something about it and he’s motivated by that.

 

I can’t say if Stevenson is overlooking him because I’m not around him enough. But I know the fans and media want to make the Kovalev fight. It was good for Bika to hear that because it motivated him. He knows he has an opportunity to do something about it. Nyob rau hnub Saturday afternoon he can change all that.

 

If Stevenson does what he says he’s going to domeet him in the center of the ring and go toe-to-toethis is going to be a tremendous fight.

 

If he comes to the center of the ring and fights and goes toe-to-toe then this fight won’t go the distance. If Stevenson comes to trade I think he gets knocked out. If he runs around the ring and boxes then it could be a different outcome.

 

 

ARTUR BETERBIEV:

I don’t think this is a big challenge for me. I’m ready to face the world champions and raise the bar higher. This is just another opponent for me.

 

This is another step that will move me closer to facing the champions at 175 phaus. I want to put on a solid fight and show that I’m one of the best fighters in this division.

 

A knockout is never a goal for me. I’m trying to show my work and my dedication in the ring, but usually that’s what happens. Usually I finish with a knockout but that is not my main goal. My main goal is to box and show my skills.

 

My motivation is to face the champions. That’s why I work so hard every day in the gym. I will get there soon.

 

Why not face Kovalev? Kuv npaj txhij. When I turned professional my goal was to meet the champions. He’s a champion now and I’d like to face the champions.

 

 

Gabriel Campillo:

We started training Jan. 1 and camp has been very good. We’ve been working very hard and I think I’m in great condition for this fight.

 

Beterbiev may not have a lot of professional experience, but he’s had a very long amateur career. So we know that he’s ready and is a good opponent for us. We’ll see how he handles things once we get past the 5th, 6th thiab 7th rounds.

 

To get ready for a hard-hitter like Beterbiev required lots of conditioning training. We worked the neck and the chin a lot. We think we’ve got a great chance in the second half of this fight though considering Beterbiev hasn’t really been tested like that.

 

As for a prediction, I’m going to knock Beterbiev out in the seventh round.

Q

Adonis, so much talk about you fighting the other light heavyweight champions and who the real light heavyweight champion of the world is. What are your thoughts about these other guys and it is interfering with your concentration for your fight with Sakio on Plaub Hlis Ntuj 4 on CBS?

 

A. Stevenson

Hmoob, Kuv paub tias lawv muaj heev npaum li cas tham txog hais tias, tab sis kuv heev teem rau Bika tam sim no, because Bika is in my face now. I don’t see anybody. I don’t see anybody in my face now. It’s Bika. And I don’t underestimate him, thiab kuv heev npaj rau nws. Kuv yuav tau npaj kom txhij rau nws Plaub Hlis Ntuj 4. Yog li ntawd, kuv ua kom pom tseeb yog nyob rau Bika. Kuv paub hais tias lawv muaj li ntawd muaj coob tus neeg tham rau kuv txog yuav ua li cas sib ntaus no, tab sis kuv heev tsom ntsoov rau no txiv leej tub.

Q

Yuav ua li cas yog tus txheej txheem rau kev siv yeeb tshuaj xeem ua ntej Plaub Hlis Ntuj 4?

A. Stevenson

Peb lub sij hawm nyob rau hauv cov kev cob qhia thiab ib lub sij hawm yog rau o'clock in the morning. Yog li ntawd, they come into the condo and to do a drug test and two times in the training after sparing. I think it’s good for the boxers, to protect them. I’m very glad about that. And when I got to fight, Kuv ib txwm ua lub xeem, koj paub? Yog li ntawd, nws tsis yog thawj lub sij hawm kuv ua cov kev xeem, but I always to do it. This is fantastic, Kuv hlub uas.

Q

Koj puas xav tias nws yog tsim nyog rau boxing muaj hais tias hom kev xeem?

A. Stevenson

Ntawm chav kawm nws yog tsim nyog vim hais tias, yog pab koj. Yog li ntawd, nws yog ib qho tseem ceeb heev kom paub tseeb tias txhua yam yog mus zoo heev. Thiab hais tias yog ib feem ntawm boxing thiab hais tias yog cov evolution. Kuv zoo siab heev thiab zoo siab thiab txhawb uas.

Q

Sakio, koj xav li cas txog hais tias?

S. Taurus

Kuv xav tias nws yog heev, zoo heev vim hais tias kuv muaj [unintelligible] since I’ve been here. I think it’s good for the new generation. It goes for this sport. Rau kuv, Kuv xav tias nws yog zoo meej. Nws yog zoo meej vim hais tias, li ntawd muaj coob tus neeg [unintelligible] so num lawm [unintelligible] drug and they never get tested. And now with new generation, Kuv xav tias nws yog zoo heev, koj paub, for younger kids to try to see if they want to win. Once you come in this sport you have to have been clean. Nws yog ib tug zoo meej lub koom haum kom tau cov neeg muab kev koom tes nyob rau hauv thiab sim lawv. Nws yog lub zoo meej tshaj plaws ua.

Q

Yog li ntawd neb ob leeg yuav tau mus soj ntsuam peb lub sij hawm, ob lub sij hawm thaum lub sij hawm txoj kev kawm camp, ib lub sij hawm ua ntej kev sib ntaus? Is that correct, hais mav?

A. Stevenson

Kuv tsis paub rau nws, but for me it’s three time. And we do a piss test, thiab peb ua ib tug kuaj ntshav, heev.

S. Taurus

Hmoob, for me it was three time. Then two blood testlike blood test and piss test. This is the third time them testing me since I was here.

Q

Thawj lo lus nug uas twb nug mus rau Adonis txog nws tej kev npaj rau tom ntej sib ntaus thiab kuj cuam tshuam nyob ib ncig ntawm tag nrho yav tom ntej tej zaum tw, Kuv xav tau mus ntxiv tib lo lus nug rau Adonis dua.

 

A. Stevenson

Koj paub, lub hom khoom xws li Bika yog qus thiab tau qhia nws tuaj–koj paub, he just keep coming. The kind of stuff like that, I love this kind of stuff because he’s large and keep pressuring. And so, nws qhia tau hais tias yog koj ua yuam kev li ntawd ces nws yuav yog ib lub knockout sai sai nyob rau hauv lub sib ntaus.

Q

Kuv lo lus nug yog rau “Qab Zib” Hill. “Qab Zib”, Kuv cia li xav paub hais tias koj twb txaus siab nrog rau hauv cov style uas tau xaiv rau no tom ntej sib ntaus, yog tias qhov no yog lub hom xeem koj saib rau raws li ib tug kws qhia.

S. Hill

Raws li deb raws li tab tom nrhiav rau ib tug style rau Adonis mus tua–and actually it doesn’t really matter to me. I’m happy with the selection of Sakio Bika. I have no problem with his style. I actually like the style because he’s coming forward. He wants to fight, and Adonis loves to fight. Adonis likes to go to toe-to-toe, and he likes to box. This is important for the maturity and, rau Adonis kawm ntxiv txog boxing yuav tsum tau yuav tsum tau nyob rau hauv nws nrog ib tug dav hlau tua rog zoo li Sakio Bika, uas yog ib tug muaj zog, txiav txim siab thiab nyuaj qub tub rog uas tau withstand. He can take a punch. He’s never been knocked out or anything like that. Yog li ntawd, qhov no yog ib lub sij hawm rau Adonis rau tej zaum mus 12 rounds los yog mus rau hauv lub tom qab rounds, uas yuav tsim thiab ntxiv rau nws cov hauj lwm raws li sib ntaus sib tua nyob rau hauv tom qab rounds, uas nws tau muaj peev xwm ua. No sib ntaus ntawm no nrog Bika yog ib txoj kev kuaj, thiab Adonis hlub yuav tsum tau soj ntsuam kuaj. I love for him to be tested as well. This is the only thing that’s going to make him grow and become more of a talented fighter and become a bigger superstar.

Q

Adonis, yog koj nrhiav nyob rau hauv ib tug nyuaj 12 puag ncig kev sib ntaus los yog koj saib nws raws li txug raws li ua thawj mus khob qhov no txiv leej tub tawm yog hais tias caij rau nws?

A. Stevenson

It is motivation for me. That’s why I train very hard. I know he’s large as well in his punch. And he wants to keep me pressured. I love this kind of style. And if he goes for 12 rounds Kuv npaj txhij rau 12 rounds. I fight and spar. My fight is, sparing thiab cob qhia rau cov 12 rounds.When kuv tau nyob rau hauv lub nplhaib, Kuv tab tom nrhiav rau cov knockout. I don’t look for the 12 puag ncig. If he goes the distance or 12 rounds, this is not a problem. Kuv yuav lub thawv. I’m beautiful. I got a good skill. I’m a Superman. Yog li ntawd, it’s not a problem for me. Tab sis, first I’m looking for a knockout. And I think any boxer going in the ring to fight always looks for a knockout. Tej zaum, it’s not like that. Tab sis, kuv, Kuv tab tom nrhiav rau cov knockout. And Emanuel said knockouts sell.

Q

You said that you weren’t impressed with Kovalev’s performance over Jean Pascal. Do you want to put on a better performance? Do you feel pressure to put on a better performance since you said that? What do you think about that?

A. Stevenson

I’m not going to put pressure on myself. “Superman” tsis xav tias siab. Kuv yuav siv kuv boxing kev txawj, thiab kuv yuav mus siv kuv lub taub hau nyob rau hauv lub nplhaib. I don’t have to put pressure on something like that. I don’t feel like that. I’m the man. I’m the guy to get beat.

Q

Yog Sakio Bika thawj tus nrog sib ntaus lawv muab rau koj?

A. Stevenson

Hmoob, it was the first. He was the first to open. We’re happy, and we don’t have a problem. And I know Sakio he was light–ua tsis tau, super middleweight champion. It’s very good, vim hais tias nws yog ib tug zoo boxer. He was champion last two fights. That’s a good opportunity for him, heev, mus los ntawm lub teeb ib tug Heavyweight mus tua kuv. And it’s a good opportunity for me, heev.

Q

Kuv xav nug koj nyob li cas point koj puas tau hais rau koj tus kheej, “Kuv muaj sib ntaus,” los yog “Kuv xav mus tua Sergey Kovalev los koom ua tag nrho cov koj cov menyuam nyob rau hauv division.” At what point did you say that in your career?

A. Stevenson

I don’t think about Kovalev now. I think about Bika. It doesn’t matter what I said now because I have a fight coming up with Bika. Tab sis, kom kuv xav sib ntaus rau lub npe, tab sis tam sim no–rau tam sim no kuv twb tau txais Bika nyob rau hauv kuv lub ntsej muag.

Q

Koj twb tsis qhuas nrog rau txoj kev uas Kovalev ntsia nyob rau hauv lub sib ntaus rau lwm lub lim tiam tiv thaiv Pascal. Yog vim li cas?

A. Stevenson

I’m not impressed by it because this is the first big fight Pascal had since Bernard and he fights one time a year before Bernard Hopkins. Yog li ntawd, in four years he fights one time. Yog li ntawd, yog vim li cas kuv tsis impressed txog hais tias, vim hais tias Pascal tsis yog ib tug active boxer zoo li nws siv yuav rov qab nyob rau hauv lub hnub.

 

Q

Koj paub hais tias Kovalev, because of the WBC is going to be mandatory. I want to know how hard will you press for that mandatory if you’re successful again.

A. Stevenson

Ntawm chav kawm, Kuv paub. I’m ready to fight a title. Tab sis, Kuv cia kuv pab neeg, Al HAYMON, tu txog hais tias. Then after that Kovalev we can unify the title. It’s not a problem for me because the two titles he gets now he gets Bernard Hopkins’ title, thiab kuv yuav tsum tua Bernard Hopkins.

Q

Qhov no yog ib sib ntaus uas yuav yuav nyob rau lub teb chaws TV nyob rau hauv lub tebchaws United States, free TV. Have you given any thought about the fact that you’ll be performing in front of an audience probably bigger than has ever seen you fight ever?

A. Stevenson

Ntawm chav kawm. This is a good opportunity for that. And first of all, Kuv xav ua tsaug rau Al Haymon rau cov uas, heev, vim hais tias, that’s him putting on the show. And since Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard, back in the day it was free. Tam sim no, we offer the public the fight for free and that’s a great opportunity for me. Yog li ntawd, I have a good performance for Sakio Bika. Tab sis, I know Sakio Bika is a tough opponent and he’s very awkward and tough. We’ll prepare for that, thiab peb npaj txhij. Nws kuj yog zoo heev rau cov hluas cov me nyuam, saib kev sib ntaus. Nws yog ib tug zoo lub sij hawm rau txhua leej txhua tus.

Q

Nrog cov uas loj tej zaum cov neeg tuaj saib watching yuav tsis hais tias muab tso rau koj nyob rau hauv ib txoj hauj lwm uas koj tab tom nrhiav rau ib tug knockout?

A. Stevenson

Ntawm chav kawm. That gives me a lot of motivation. That’s why I train really hard for this fight and watch–kom cov neeg saib kuv. Since Muhammad Ali, I’m the first to be poor and the projects. Yog li ntawd, Kuv heev, zoo siab heev, and I’m going to put a good performance. Like Emanuel said, knockouts muag.

Q

Adonis, qhov twg yog koj cob lub lim tiam no? Thiab ces, thaum koj ua tau mus Quebec City?

A. Stevenson

You know I opened a new gym in Quebec City. This is a good opportunity for me to train in my hometown. This is the first time since 2011. Kuv yuav saib tau kuv tus me nyuam yaus, heev. Yog li ntawd, Kuv hlub uas. And we train very hard, kuv thiab kuv tus kws qhia. We put the hard work pay off. This is different. This is a good opportunity for me, thiab kuv hlub uas.

Q

Yog li ntawd, koj nyob rau hauv Quebec City tam sim no ces?

A. Stevenson

I’m in Montreal now. Quebec City, Kuv yuav lub lim tiam no.

Q

Yog li ntawd, thaum yuav koj yeej mus rau Quebec City?

A. Stevenson

Sunday.

Q

Dua, my question goes to Adonis. I just want to know if a knockout is the result that you absolutely need or would you be disappointed if you didn’t win by a knockout against Bika?

A. Stevenson

I know Bika is a tough opponent. Yog li ntawd, Kuv npaj rau 12 rounds. Yog hais tias tus knockout yog muaj, it’s there. If it’s not, it’s not. Tab sis, nyob rau hauv lub nplhaib, Kuv tab tom nrhiav rau cov knockout. Yog li ntawd, nws tsis txawv rau kuv, but I’m always looking for the knockout. That’s a Kronk. The Kronk Gym and my team we’re looking for that. Since the Kronk it’s been a while. They’re always looking for the knockout. If you’re training in the Kronk Gym and any fighter is looking for the knockout.

Q

Tab sis, nws yuav ua tau txaus ntshai rau yeej ib txwm yuav tsum tau nrhiav ib tug knockout vim hais tias ces yog tias koj tsis tau txais nws li sai sai raws li koj xav ces koj yuav tau deb ntawm koj style ntawm boxing. Is that something that worries you?

A. Stevenson

Peb yuav tau mus 12 puag ncig. It’s not a problem for me. We train for that. We train for that. I can go 12 puag ncig. And I’m from Kronk Gym, Detroit. And this place, peb muaj ib tug zoo, zoo kws qhia zoo li Emanuel “Qab Zib” Hill. They know boxing. They teach me very well my skill and everything and my balance. They know boxing. And so, lawv paub yog hais tias tus knockout yog tsis muaj, tiam sis peb yuav mus ua hauj lwm. We’re going to use the good ability to go for 12 rounds. It’s not a problem.

Q

Sakio, Kuv cia li xav paub, yuav ua li cas nws xav tias rau koj nyob rau hauv no txoj kev kawm camp los qhia rau ib lub teeb Heavyweight sib ntaus tom qab siv zoo nkauj npaum li tag nrho koj cov hauj lwm ntawm ib tug super Middleweight?

S. Taurus

Kuv xav tias nws yog ib tug tshiab kev sib tw mus li thiab sim tua cov loj heev nyuj. Thaum koj pom kuv regimen, tsis muaj leej twg puas tau xav mus tua kuv. Nws yog ib txwm ib tug me ntsis nyuaj vim hais tias cov neeg tsis xav mus tua kuv. Rau kuv nws yog ib tug loj kev sib tw vim hais tias Stevenson, Adonis yog ib tug zoo yeej thiab kuv xav los ua ib lub ntiaj teb no yeej nyob rau hauv lub neej. Kuv heev kom kuv tau ko nws. Thiab tuaj Plaub Hlis Ntuj 4, vim hais tias kuv muaj ib tug zoo npaj, , ib tug yawm sparing khub, Kuv cia li nrhiav rau koj pom li cas kuv yuav leg lub loj heev nyuj. Adonis yog thawj ib qho rau kuv ntawm no qhov ceeb thawj, but I just feel confident, Kuv xav tias zoo. Kuv npaj txhij, koj paub, mus muaj thiab qhia cov neeg nyob rau hauv lub ntiaj teb no Kuv yuav tuav Adonis Stevenson rau Plaub Hlis Ntuj 4. I want to tell the big bull. I want to move up in light heavyweight division, thiabPlaub Hlis Ntuj 4 cov neeg uas mus yuav pom nws.

Q

Puas qhov nyhav xav tias zoo dua rau koj? Do you see yourself staying at light heavyweight?

S. Taurus

Kuv pom kuv tus kheej zoo li ib lub teeb Heavyweight. Kuv pom kuv tus kheej rau ntawm lub teeb Heavyweight vim hais tias koj pom muaj coob ntiaj teb no champions. For me just it’s just a challenge. I want to challenge myself. Kuv yuav ua li cas lub teeb hnyav yooj yim. It would be a struggle to do super middleweight. Koj paub, Kuv yuav ua li cas lub teeb Heavyweight yeej yooj yim. Kuv yuav leg lub loj heev nyuj, vim hais tias kuv lis txhua leej txhua tus. This is a big opportunity for me to try to see if can I handle the big bull.

Kuv cia li nrhiav rau tuaj rau Quebec thiab saib xyuas ua lag ua luam.

Q

Nyob rau tib lub sij hawm uas koj twb nyob rau ntawm lub Sergey Kovalev / Jean Pascal sib ntaus, thiab koj mus mus HBO commentator thaum lub sij hawm, Bernard Hopkins, and you told him that you guarantee that you will fight Sergey Kovalev. I wanted to see what your answer was to what you think of Sergey Kovalev and his performance nyob rau hnub Saturdayhmo ntuj ib tug ob peb hnub so dhau los.

A. Stevenson

Pascal tsis tam sim no vim hais tias peb nyob nraum tham txog Bika. Kuv mus mus tua Plaub Hlis Ntuj 4 nrog Bika. Nws yog ib tug heev nyuaj tshaj plaws txog Bika thiab Kovalev tsis yog ib tug neeg tam sim no thaum kuv xav txog qhov sib ntaus nrog Kovalev thiab Pascal thiab ces tom qab kuv hais tias, “Zoo, yeah, Kuv yuav mus sib ntaus.” He’s not a person for me now. The person now is Bika.

Q

Koj lav tias koj tom ntej no kev sib ntaus yuav tiv thaiv Kovalev rov qab rau hauv lub Tsib Hlis ntawm xyoo tas los tom qab 12 rounds against Fonfara. You beat Fonfara.

A. Stevenson

You can’t guarantee. It’s not working like that. It’s not football. It’s not hockey. And one punch can change anything. So now I got Bika in my face, thiab kuv heev npaj nrog Bika, because I know this guy gives problems to all the champions. He was champion. And I know this fighter is tough.

L. Milner
