Get to know more about the rising star as he talks about his introduction to the sport and some of his personal favorites:
(On his team): I have the best team in the world. Ernesto Rodriguez is my head trainer and we do our work in Temple Hills, Maryland. Ernesto is great because he trains me for the style that fits my skills best.
There is no ego in my team. We’re all working toward the same goal and everyone plays their role perfectly. With each fight we’re getting closer to reaching the ultimate goalbecoming a world champion.
(On his start in boxing): My father first put me in the ring to learn how to defend myself. I was 15-years-old and didn’t really know how to fight. I took to it quickly though and it was obviously one of the best things that ever happened to me.
(On his nickname): I got my nickname from the gym. I looked calm and collective in the gym and people noticed. They said I looked swift in there. Now it’s “Ràpid” i “Ràpid” on the same card and it’s going to be electric.
(On his boxing idols): I tried to emulate a lot of defensive fighters. Roy Jones Jr. and Floyd Mayweather are my favorite fighters of all time. I liked James Toney because of his shoulder roll and the Philly shell style.
(Favorite sport/team): I watch football. I only the watch the Washington Redkins though. I’ve always been a huge fan.
(Favorite television show): Power on Starz
(Favorite movie): Deadpool
(Favorite junk food): Pizza
(Favorite health food): Kale
(Celebrity crush): Keri Hilson and Nia Long
(Perfect Vacation): Definitely a cruise to Puerto Rico. I’ve never been there but I want to experience it.
(On his homemade All Access videos): I just love to be out there and giving fans a chance to feel connected to me. My childhood friend, Christopher Walton, picked up a camera and just started recording me in the ring and outside of the ring one day. He started getting some better equipment so we decided to do these videos to help promote me. The fans are important to me and I want them to feel like they’re a part of my journey.

Això és el que els participants havien de dir Dijous:
DANNY GARCIA
Being able to partner with Philabundance is a tremendous thing. Al final de la dia, that’s what it’s all about. When you’re fortunate, your job is to give back and change someone else’s life. I’m looking forward to a great night and a great turnout.
Everyone has gone through hard times. Everyone has gone through times where they need extra help. We’re going to make a big difference that night and it’ll be for a lot of people that really need it.
I want to thank the City of Philadelphia. I’m just excited to fight at home. This card is going to allow a lot of great local fighters to be on a big stage.
I can’t look past Samuel Vargas and I know his trainer has a couple tricks up his sleeve. I know they’re going to come to fight, but I will never underestimate anyone. I’ve learned my lessons to become the champion I am today.
I know Vargas knows how to win. He’s won a lot in his career. I’m going to go out there and just fight. If it goes the distance, then it does. I can’t underestimate him. I’m going to put on a great show and dominate.
People are acting like Keith Thurman has a cape like Superman and can fly. I want the other champions to think I’m vulnerable. Those are my easiest fights. I have to get past this fight to get to the next one.
I feel like I owe this to my fans to fight in Philadelphia. The last time I fought at this venue was on a Bernard Hopkins undercard and I got a big knockout. I plan on doing the same Novembre 12.
I have a good team around me. There should be no distractions leading up to this fight. All the people who deserve to get tickets will be there and there won’t be anything distracting me. Estic 100 percent focused on this matchup.
I’m at the point in my career where I’m working smarter and harder. Tal Com Novembre 12 we want to give the city of Philadelphia a night to remember. I can’t overlook this fight, but I guarantee that I’m going to unify titles at 147 pounds soon.
SAMUEL VARGAS
I’m very blessed to be here today. This fight could change my whole life. The lives of my family. Danny is a great fighter and I have to give it my all.
I have to take advantage of this. I have the best trainer in the world with me and we’re going to take care of business Novembre 12.
Me and my trainer work on a lot of different styles. We like to switch it up and keep the opponents guessing. Sometimes we pressure and sometimes we stay outside. I’m learning every day and making adjustments.
I’m an underdog and I have been my whole life. There are very few options for a Latin immigrant all the way up in Canada. I beat the odds to make it up there and have a life and a family.
I’m a guy with just over 10 amateur fights and I’ve made it this far. Danny Garcia is my chance. I have to make the best of it and give it my all. This is everything for me.
JARRETT HURD
I’ve been to Philadelphia a couple times and the city has welcomed me. I just want to put on another show. This will get me one step closer to my dream of fighting for a title.
We’ve looked at some of my opponent’s fights and he’s a veteran. He’s got a lot of power and a good knockout rate to go with it. He’s awkward and tall. If you don’t come in on top of your game, he can make you look bad. We’re looking to do what we always do.
I learned a lot from my last fight. It opened a lot of doors for me, like fighting on the Danny Garcia undercard. I feel like I’m what the division is missing. I’m a tall, lanky fighter with a lot of power and good hand speed.
My time is here. I feel like this is my opportunity to get closer to fighting for a world title. I can’t wait to become a world champion.
I want to face all of the 154-pounders. We’re not ducking anyone. There are so many talented fighters in the division, but I believe that me and my team train so hard and prepare so well that we’re ready to face any of them. The time will come and we’re just waiting.
This is a tremendous opportunity to be on the Danny Garcia undercard because we’re all trying to get to where he’s at. Make sure you’re watching my fights because I promise I’m going to do something memorable.
OMAR DOUGLAS
I just wanted to say this is the opportunity of a lifetime to fight in Philadelphia where my career started. I won Pennsylvania Golden Gloves several times.
To be in with a former world champion is a terrific thing. I’m going to take full advantage of this opportunity. I’ve been waiting for this a long time and this is my time.
Fortuna is a very confident fighter. He likes to give it all the first few rounds. I’m going to come in and use my jab and invest in the body. I think we can have an early night.
I believe I have the best jab in the business. I have to keep him off me with the jab and head movement. I’ve been fighting for a long time and there’s nothing I haven’t seen.
I think I’ve improved a lot. Fighting guys with one loss and world ranked guys over my last couple fights has helped me. My confidence is definitely rising every day.
You can look forward to a crowd pleasing performance and knockout.
ÀNGEL GARCÍA, Pare de Danny & Entrenador
Danny has been the underdog before. Lucas Matthysse or Amir Khan, you name it. We don’t underestimate Vargas. We don’t take him lightly. We are going to come ready to rumble.
Vargas is the underdog today, but Danny has been the underdog his entire life.Novembre 12 my son will still be undefeated.
I came to Philadelphia at six years old. I had no food. Only you know you’re pain. I ate a lot of food from a can growing up, so if you guys donate anything or buy a ticket that donates money, you’ll be doing something great. We pray every day for the hungry kids, not just in America but the whole world.
BILLY BRISCOE, Vargas’ Entrenador
This is a great opportunity for me and Samuel. In my opinion he’s an underrated fighter. He’s been under the radar for a while. We’ve been working together in Canada and starting a farm system.
We’re fighting in my opinion the best welterweight in the world. This is no easy task and we’re not fooling ourselves. We won’t leave any stone unturned.
We’ll find a way and we’ll make a way. That’s what we’re going to do and I look forward to this.
MARSHALL KAUFFMAN, Promocions del Rei
It’s very exciting to be promoting this young man, Danny García. I remember him as a young kid and it’s exciting to see where he’s come in the world of boxing. I’ve known a lot of these guys for a long time and I’m excited to see how they perform.
This card is going to be stacked with local talent and I hope that everyone comes out and supports these fighters and this great cause.
I’ve always wanted to bring Danny Garcia to Philadelphia and the commission is thrilled to bring him back to this great city and we’re going to make it worthwhile.

Washington dc. (Març 26, 2015) – A little more than two weeks in advance of his highly anticipated bout at Barclays Center a Brooklyn, Lamont Peterson (33-2-1, 17 KOs) mitjans de comunicació allotjats al Centre de Recreació Àguila calba a Washington, D.C. Lamont, el seu germà Anthony i entrenador de Lamont, Barry Hunter, took some time out of their training schedule to discuss Lamont’s Lliga de Campions de Boxa enfrontament contra Danny “Ràpid” García (29-0, 17 KOs) a Abril 11.

 

A continuació trobarà cites notables de l'esdeveniment, que va comptar amb la presència d'impressió, radiodifusió i mitjans de comunicació en línia de tota la regió:

 

Lamont Peterson, Campió Mundial Súper Lleuger

 

“El pla podria ser simplement sortir i lluitar contra ell. Independentment de com trio a lluitar, Em sento com que puc guanyar. Jo tinc els peus més ràpids, però puc utilitzar per fer altres coses també. Puc anar cap endavant. No sempre he d'estar retrocedint. Vaig a seguir amb el pla de joc, però no sabem el que el pla de joc és en aquest moment.

 

“El meu mentalitat sempre mostra en el ring, especialment en els últims rounds. Vostè demana una gran quantitat del seu cos en el ring i un munt de vegades que es va al que sap. Així que la seva personalitat sens dubte surt, i crec que aquí és on jo brillantor més que altres lluitadors. Les últimes rondes són quan normalment em prenc més de la lluita. Una gran part del temps m'agradaria que poguéssim anar més rondes.

 

“Els aficionats volien veure aquesta baralla, així que volia assegurar-se que hagi succeït. Mai em dic noms o parlo que vull proper. Jo deixo als fans i als mitjans, perquè hi ha un munt de baralles que els aficionats volen veure que mai succeeixi. Al final de la dia, Estic lluitant pels aficionats i els mitjans de comunicació per què no lluitar qui volen que lluiti?

 

“Només estic buscant a prendre les coses que faig bé i executar, i llavors jo estic buscant per portar les coses García fa bé i obligar-lo a fer les coses que no li va bé amb més freqüència. No em veig en qualsevol baralla anterior de la seva i que la nostra va a anar en aquesta direcció.

 

“Jo sóc un millor lluitador. Definitivament és un contra colpejador i estem buscant per assegurar-se que no ens va contrarestar la forma en què alguns altres han estat.

 

“Hi ha hagut alts i baixos en el campament. A vegades és el moment de retirar-se i relaxar-, però de vegades és el moment de treballar dur. En general em sento molt bé. Molta gent diu això, però això ha estat el meu millor camp d'entrenament mai i estic feliç on estic en aquest moment. Estic llest per lluitar.

 

“Aquesta és la baralla més important per a mi. Després d'això no hi ha res més que fer en la categoria de pes. M'agradaria pujar després d'aquesta propera baralla.”

 

Barry Hunter, Entrenador de Peterson

 

“Lamont és un lluitador molt versàtil. Ell ha estat en el ring centenars de vegades. Pot boxejar. Pot barallar dins i fora. Ell pot crear estratègies, però també pot ser molt agressiu.

 

“Danny és un lluitador sòlid. Ell no fa un o dos grans coses, però ell fa moltes coses bé. Hi ha algunes coses tot i que hem vist en el que creiem que podem explotar i anirem per aquí amb la intenció de fer-ho. En general crec que Lamont és un millor lluitador.

 

“Només hi ha uns pocs grans noms a l'esquerra en 140, tothom s'ha mogut fins 147. Així manera de pensar de Lamont va ser que l'única forma en què aquesta lluita té sentit en 140 va ser si podia enfrontar a Danny García. Això era més de donar als fans el que volen veure. Això va a donar als aficionats una gran baralla lliure de nou en la televisió nacional.

 

“NBC és una xarxa veritablement esportiu. Tenen NBA, WNBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, MLS i l'únic esport que faltava era la boxa. Boxa solia ser en totes les xarxes i tenien llegendàries baralles amb lluitadors llegendaris. No sempre va ser sobre un cinturó o bé. Després les coses van canviar, però això ens dóna l'oportunitat de portar la boxa de retorn als veritables fans.”

 

Anthony Peterson

“No estic nerviós per veure aquesta lluita. Jo només vaig a seure i veure. De Lamont tan llest.

 

“Danny és un lluitador extraordinari. Està en el seu ADN, però Lamont està tan centrat Estic segur que guanyarà.

 

“Lamont va aprendre a lluitar protegint als carrers.”
