Undefeated Rising Star Takes on Once Beaten Super Welterweight Contender Jorge Cota Saturday, November 12 in Premier Boxing Champions on Spike from Temple University’s Liacouras Center
PHILADELPHIA (Oktober 19, 2016) – In the last year, undefeated 154-pound contender “Swift” Jarrett Hurd has rocketed to the top of the stacked super welterweight division, putting himself squarely in the hunt for a world title. Lørdag, November 12, Hurd continues his championship march as he takes on once-beaten Jorge Cota i Premier Boxing Champions på Spike action from Temple University’s Liacouras Center.
TV-dekning begynner på 9 pm. OG/8 pm. CT and is headlined by Philadelphia’s own undefeated world champion Danny “Swift” Garcia, who takes on Colombia’s Samuel Vargas i en 10-runde bout. Garcia is teaming up with Philabundance, the region’s largest hunger relief organization, to arrange a regional food drive and raise money throughout the promotion. For more information on how to get involved, visit the event’s webpage HER.
Hurd enters this fight coming off of two impressive victories over previously unbeaten fighters. I november 2015 he dominated Frank Galarza and stalked him around the ring before ending his night in the sixth round. Hurd followed that up in June of this year, when he stopped Carlos Molina in the final round on CBS as the co-main event of the Keith Thurman vs. Shawn Porter showdown. Hurd’s blinding right uppercut in the first round sent Molina to the canvas and the Høydepunktet earned him a spot on SportsCenter’s Top 10 Plays.
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 goal – becoming 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 “Swift” og “Swift” 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.

Her er hva deltakerne hadde å si Torsdag:
DANNY GARCIA
“Being able to partner with Philabundance is a tremendous thing. På slutten av dagen, 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 November 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. Jeg er 100 percent focused on this matchup.
“I’m at the point in my career where I’m working smarter and harder. Slik som November 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 November 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.”
ANGEL GARCIA, Danny far & Trener
“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.November 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’ Trener
“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, Kongens Kampanjer
“It’s very exciting to be promoting this young man, Danny Garcia. 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. (Mars 26, 2015) – A little more than two weeks in advance of his highly anticipated bout at Barclays Center i Brooklyn, Lamont Peterson (33-2-1, 17 KOs) vert media på Bald Eagle Recreation Center i Washington, Likespenning. Lamont, hans bror Anthony og Lamont trener, Barry Hunter, took some time out of their training schedule to discuss Lamont’s Premier Boxing Champions showdown mot Danny “Swift” Garcia (29-0, 17 KOs) på April 11.

 

Nedenfor finner du kjente sitater fra arrangementet, som ble fulgt av print, kringkasting og elektroniske medier fra hele regionen:

 

Lamont Peterson, Super Lett verdensmester

 

“Planen kan være å bare gå ut der og kjempe ham. Uansett hvordan jeg velger å kjempe, Jeg føler at jeg kan vinne. Jeg har raskere føtter, men jeg kan bruke dem til å gjøre andre ting også. Jeg kan gå frem. Jeg trenger ikke alltid å være å gå baklengs. Jeg vil holde seg til spilleplan, men vi vet ikke hva spillet plan er akkurat nå.

 

“Min mentalitet viser alltid i ringen, spesielt på slutten av rundene. Du spør mye av kroppen din i den ringen og mange ganger det går til det den vet. Så din personlighet kommer definitivt ut, og jeg tror det er der jeg skinne mer enn andre jagerfly. De senere rundene er når jeg tar normalt i løpet av kampen. Mye av tiden jeg skulle ønske vi kunne gå flere runder.

 

“Fansen ønsket å se denne kampen, så jeg ønsket å være sikker på at det skjedde. Jeg egentlig aldri ringe ut navn eller snakke om hvem jeg vil neste. Jeg lar det være opp til fansen og til media fordi det er mange kamper som fansen ønsker å se at aldri skje. På slutten av dagen, Jeg kjemper for fansen og media så hvorfor ikke kjempe hvem de vil ha meg til å kjempe?

 

“Jeg er bare ute etter å ta de tingene jeg gjør vel og utføre, og så er jeg ute etter å ta bort ting Garcia gjør det bra og tvinge ham til å gjøre ting han ikke gjør det bra oftere. Jeg ser ikke på noen forrige kamp av hans og tror våre kommer til å gå den veien.

 

“Jeg er en bedre fighter. Han er definitivt en counter-puncher, og vi er ute etter å sørge for at vi ikke får motvirkes måten enkelte andre har vært.

 

“Det har vært oppturer og nedturer i leiren. Noen ganger er det på tide å trekke seg tilbake og slappe av, men noen ganger er det på tide å jobbe hardt. Totalt jeg føler stor. Mange sier dette, men dette har vært min beste treningsleir noensinne, og jeg er fornøyd der jeg er på akkurat nå. Jeg er klar til å kjempe.

 

“Dette er den største kampen for meg. Etter dette er det ingenting igjen å gjøre i den vektklassen. Jeg ønsker å flytte opp etter denne neste kamp.”

 

Barry Hunter, Petersons Trainer

 

“Lamont er en meget allsidig fighter. Han har vært i ringen hundrevis av ganger. Han kan bokse. Han kan kjempe både innenfor og utenfor. Han kan legge strategier, men han kan også være svært aggressiv.

 

“Danny er en solid fighter. Han gjør ikke en eller to ting bra, men han gjør mange ting godt. Det er noen ting om at vi har sett i ham at vi tror vi kan utnytte, og vi kommer til å gå ut der med den hensikt å gjøre det. Totalt tror jeg Lamont er en bedre fighter.

 

“Det er bare noen få store navn til venstre ved 140, alle andre har flyttet opp til 147. Så Lamont måte å tenke på var at den eneste måten denne kampen var fornuftig på 140 var om han kunne møte Danny Garcia. Dette var mer om å gi fansen det de ønsker å se. Dette kommer til å gi fansen en stor gratis kampen igjen på nasjonal TV.

 

“NBC er en ekte sportsbil nettverk. De har NBA, WNBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, MLS og den eneste sporten som manglet var boksing. Boksing pleide å være på hver nettverks og de hadde legendariske kamper med legendariske krigere. Det var ikke alltid om et belte enten. Så ting endret, men dette gir oss en sjanse til å bringe boksing tilbake til de ekte fans.”

 

Anthony Peterson

“Jeg er ikke nervøs for å se denne kampen. Jeg kommer bare til å lene seg tilbake og se. Lamont er så klar.

 

“Danny er en ekstraordinær fighter. Det er i hans DNA, men Lamont er så fokusert jeg er sikker på at han kommer til å vinne.

 

“Lamont lært å kjempe beskytte meg på gata.”
