LAS VEGAS (Maj 21, 2016) – On a night Erislandy “The American Dream” Lara successfully defended his WBA Super Welterweight Championship with a hard-fought 12-round unanimous decision over Vanes “The Nightmare” Martirosyan, undefeated brothers Jermall og Jermell Charlo, af Houston, became the first twins in boxing history to hold world titles in the same weight class.

 

Jermall Charlo (24-0, 18 KOS) retained his IBF Junior Middleweight World Championship with a unanimous 12-round decision over former world champion Austin “No Doubt” Trout (30-3, 17 KOS) of Las Cruces, N.M., in the second of three world title fights on SHOWTIME Championship Boxing® fra Chelsea inde The Cosmopolitan af Las Vegas.

 

In the opening bout of the three fight telecast, Jermell Charlo (28-0, 13 KOS) earned the vacant WBC Super Welterweight World Championship by rallying from five points down to register an eighth-round knockout over John “Da Rock” Jackson (20-3, 15 KOS), St. Thomas, Jomfruøer (Video highlights: http://s.sho.com/1VeFFVq).

 

Lara outpointed Martirosyan in the main event by the scores of 116-111 to gange og 115-112. Der var ingen knockdowns. Martirosyan had a point deducted for a low blow in the 11th in a rematch of a May 2012 fight that ended in a technical draw.

 

Born one minute apart, the identical twins celebrated their 26th birthday this past Thursday, Maj 19. Jermall is one minute older than Jermell.

 

Jermall Charlo stuck to his game plan and fought behind his jab, kaste 292 jabs and connecting at an 18 percent clip. It was a balanced attack from both fighters, but the power and accuracy from the physically bigger Charlo was a difference.

 

“It wasn’t a struggle, it was a great experience,” said Charlo after his second successful title defense. “I want to thank God for allowing me and my twin brother to see this day. History.

 

“Austin is a hell of a fighter. He’s a beast. This was my first time going 12, but it didn’t matter because I knew I was in shape.

 

“My game plan was to execute with the jab. I knew he was going to try to stop me, but that didn’t happen. There’s no way you can tame a lion.

 

“It felt good because I knew my brother would get the job done. We belong on this level. We need these titles to get the big fights and we’re going to keep these titles to keep rising.

 

“I changed my mind — we’re going to stay right here (på 154). Making 154 pounds wasn’t as bad as everyone made it out to be.”

 

“Hat’s off to Jermall Charlo. He fought a hell of a fight,” Austin Trout said. “I felt like I did enough to win. They won’t give me a close decision, so it’s time to start taking these cats out. But I can’t make excuses. I fought my ass off, Charlo fought his ass off and hats off to him.

 

“I’m going to live to fight another day. You’re going to see me back. We’re warriors out here.’’

 

Two minutes into the eighth round, Jermell Charlo, trailing 69-64 on the three judges’ scorecards, landed a perfect counter right hand to Jackson’s left eye. As Jackson dropped his guard to insure his mouthpiece was in place, Jermell connected with two more right hands that sent Jackson falling forward into his corner. Defenseless and seemingly out on his feet, referee Tony Weeks stepped in immediately and stopped it at 0:51.

 

“It’s history,” said Jermell, who entered the match as the WBC No. 1 contender and became the 66th ShoBox: Den nye generation fighter to capture a world title.

 

“We did it. A lot of fighters don’t come out of Houston and we did it. I’m waiting for my brother next. We’ve been boxing for all of these years and it had to happen.

 

“I was behind. He was boxing, he was moving around a lot. That was unexpected of him. I thought he was going to come out to brawl. I had to make an adjustment and I did.

 

“When he started slowing down, I was able to catch him with a shot. I knew that if he could have continued he could have come back so I had to hit him.”

 

While both were selective with their punches, throwing just 427 combined shots through eight and a half rounds, Jermell was the more accurate fighter. The new WBC champ landed 23 procent af hans samlede slag, Herunder 34 percent of his power shots against Jackson.

“It was a journey to get here,” said Jackson, WBC'erne nr. 2 contender going in and son of former world champion Julian “The Hawk” Jackson.

 

“I feel like I was ahead and I came up short. He caught me with a punch and I was trying to fix my mouthpiece. Then he hit me and I was out. It hit me in the eye, but my mouthpiece was coming out. I was trying to push in my mouthpiece back in and he hit me. Jeg vidste, hvor jeg var. It dazed me, but I wasn’t knocked out.

 

“It’s boxing. Det var en stor kamp. I felt I was winning the fight, I got caught and that was it.

 

“I dedicated the fight to my dad and I hope I didn’t let him down. I fell short. You win some and you lose some.”

 

Said the elder Jackson: “I’m proud. It took a lot for us to get this far. I know my people are proud. We are strong people and we are coming back.”

 

SHOWTIME’s Steve Farhood called the Lara vs. Martirosyan rematch “a typical Lara fight.”

 

“As usual Lara’s style is extremely difficult for the judges to score,"Farhood sagde. “He’s so selective with his punches, yet he lands such a high percentage of them. And to make it even more difficult, a lot of Martirosyan’s body punches were blocked. The judges agreed on seven of the 12 runder. It clearly was a close fight and what got Lara over the top was the 10-8 score in round 11.

 

“We benefit from the use of replay. Watching the punch that brought the deduction on replay, I believe that it wasn’t a low blow.

 

“Lara did what Lara does. Martirosyan fought about as well as he could. The difference was Lara’s accuracy and ring generalship. I think Martirosyan’s competitiveness made it a good fight.”

 

Lara, 33, was making his fourth title defense. “This is normal,” said Lara who landed 60 percent of the 160-plus power punches. “This is boxing, not baseball. Low blows and headbutts happen. I’m a very intelligent fighter and at no point did I feel this fight was going to be lost.

 

“My mother and kids are still there so it would be a great privilege to go fight in my native Cuba. Everything is possible in this world. I didn’t think I’d be champion of the world and here I am.

 

“I want to tell Team Vanes thank you for giving me the rematch. Jeg er klar til at kæmpe nogen. I’d like to fight Canelo.

 

“The Charlo brothers are my teammates and having three of us going back as champions is a great thing.”

 

Martirosyan, the aggressor throughout, disputed the decision.

 

“I was chasing him all night,"Sagde han. “I put on the pressure. I thought I did enough to win. That was not a low blow. Replays show the trunks were high.

 

“I never ducked anyone. No one wanted to fight Lara. I stepped up and fought him again. I’ll fight anyone.”

 

Undefeated IBF No. 1 contender and mandatory challenger Julian “J Rock” Williams (22-0-1, 14 KOS), was interviewed between fights by SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING’s BrianCuster. Williams, af Philadelphia, has been calling out the Charlo Twins.

 

“I can’t get the fights I deserve,”Sagde Williams. “But I’ve got a good team. I have Al Haymon and he got me the mandatory for the winner of Charlo-Trout. Guys know it’s a rough fight if they step in with me. And they know 99 percent of the time they will lose.

 

“Jermall Charlo is an undefeated champion. Jeg er ubesejret. That’s what boxing is all about – two young, hungry champions going at it in their primes. Så, I am interested in fighting Jermall Charlo.”

 

On Charlo saying he’s sick of reading your tweets and he’d like to shut you up…

 

“Godt, he doesn’t have to wait much longer so he doesn’t have any choice now,”Sagde Williams. “I’m the mandatory and if he wins, we are going to fight next.”

 

Brian Custer hosted the SHOWTIME telecast, med Mauro Ranallo calling the action, Hall of Fame analyst Al Bernstein and former two-time world champion Paulie Malignaggikommenterer og Jim Gray rapportering. I spansk simulcast, Alejandro Luna called the blow-by-blow and former world champion Raul Marquez served as color commentator.

Ligge. at The Cosmopolitan. Lørdag they look to become the first twin brothers to hold world titles at the same time in the same weight class.
Her er hvad de krigere havde at sige torsdag:
ERISLANDY LARA
“I plan on going in there and getting into my zone and making the adjustments that will allow me to be victorious.
“One difference between this fight and our last fight is that I’m coming into this fight 100 percent healthy. I’m not making any excuses but I had a fractured knuckle going into our first fight. I still felt I was winning the fight. This time I’m not going to leave any doubt about who is the best.
“I have no pressure on me. I feel calm. Part of that comes with experience but I also know that I’m going to go in there and execute my game plan like I always do.
“I’m always stuck in controversial fights because of my fighting style.
“I’m excited to be sharing the stage with the Charlo brothers. We have trained together, so being part of this with them is great.
“Vanes’s a lot more passive than he was for the first fight. He was telling me I better be ready.
“I’m going to do what I have to do. Put my game plan together, put my punches together, I’m going to do everything that I have to do to be victorious på lørdag nat.
On how he’s improved from the first fight…
“The fundamentals are always there. Every fighter gets better with every fight. You get a little bit more experience and that’s the difference.”
LAMELLER Martirosyan
“I’ve had a tremendous camp. I have a great team. I’ve had incredible sparring partners and I can’t wait for the real thing på lørdag.
“I’m in the best shape of my life and I’ve never been so ready. I don’t have to tell you what I’m going to do up here, because you’re going to see it på lørdag nat. Actions speak louder than words. This is going to be the best Vanes you’ll ever see.
“This time around I am definitely going to be more aggressive. I cannot wait for Lørdag.
“There is a different feeling for me in this fight than ever before. It’s for a world title, this is as big as it gets.
“It is the ‘Dream’ versus the ‘Nightmare,’ and you’ll definitely see the ‘Nightmare’ på lørdag nat.
On what he saw in Lara’s eyes when they faced off…
“A fighter looking at another fighter. I see hunger in both eyes.
“A lot of the first fight, I was kind of inexperienced but we’ve matured a lot throughout the years. Four years into this game, a lot of experience, a lot of knowledge in the game so there’s a lot I learned from the first fight.
“The whole division is here, it’s awesome. They should do this more often and I’m happy that SHOWTIME put together such a great card.”
Charlo JERMALL
“Every fight on this card could have been the main event. To be on a card like this with all these great fighters is exciting.
“Boxing has a lot of really big fights with the Charlos coming in the future. We’re going to take it one step at a time. This is a great fight that we have in front of us.
“I’m very proud of my brother, to have accomplished what he has at 26-years-old, coming from where we came from.
“Dette er en enorm kamp for mig. This is more to me than winning a world title. I put my all into this. None of Trout’s experience matters. I’m a real lion and I’m going to show it.
“Austin Trout is just a name to me. He beat Cotto, hvad så? I have work to do. I’m focused on getting the job done.
“We (the brothers) both do different things, but we also have the same skills and the same power. No one in the division can match up to us.
“We always thought that we would be winners and that we would be competing at the top level. Now it’s time to make history. We want to prove why we’re at the top.
“Me and my brother have always wanted to be champions at the same time. There’s never been anything like this. This era, you will get a chance to enjoy us. We’ve worked very hard to get here and we’re going to reign on this level.
“Efter dette, I’m coming for the (160-pound fighters). To be a top pound-for-pound fighter you need to dominate different divisions and that is my goal. That doesn’t mean I’m struggling with weight. I feel good right now but I think I will be even stronger at 160.
“Maj 21 there is nothing that is going to stop me from losing my belt.”
AUSTIN TROUT
“It’s no coincidence that I’m back at the top making a title run. I paid my dues and put in all the hard work necessary.
“I have nothing bad to say about Jermall as a person or a fighter. Men i slutningen af ​​dagen, the history will be my own. I’m going to use him for my legacy, not the other way around.
“I worked hard to get here. I’m sharp and on weight. There is nothing that I feel like he can do to beat me that night.
“Charlo took a chance with this fight. There is no mistake in taking a chance. But will the chance end up in his favor? I hardly doubt it. This won’t be easy. I’m never in easy fights. They’re always great fights.
“Size won’t be a problem. He still has to make 154 pounds.
“I want to thank Jermall for taking this fight. He’s doing something that a lot of people won’t do. Men i slutningen af ​​dagen, I’m going to be the lion tamer. I’m going to tame that lion.”
What flaws do you see?…
“I don’t want to tell you about his flaws because he might fix them by Lørdag, but we see a couple flaws.
On if it would hurt him to move up to 160…
“It may, it may not. We’re not looking at any extra edge or wishing to put all our eggs in one basket. What we’re banking on is our skillset and our grip to come out victorious. Whether it hurts him or not, it’s not going to matter. Only thing it’s going to do is make it easier for me.
“Jeg har været der, I’ve been to the deep waters. I’ve seen many different types of strategies and styles. In a sense, there’s nothing that he brings to the table that I haven’t seen before.
“I’ve got a big dog in me that you’re going to see Lørdag nat. You’re going to see what should have been the main event. Me and Charlo, it’s going to be a great fight and I hope y’all tune in because I’m taking that belt.”
JERMELL Charlo
“I appreciate everyone involved in putting this fight together. To me this is a card that people need to be pay attention to. I believe that everyone on this card is going to give it their all, because we all motivated each other to be here.
“I’m fighting John Jackson, the son of a legend. I don’t believe John Jackson will be able to live up to his dad and if his dad ever had to face me, I would have beat him too.
“We’re getting more and more experience. People thought that Gabriel Rosado was too big of a test for me but I dominated that fight. I’m going to pass any test they put in front of me. Over the course of time, you’re eventually going to have to say we the experience.
“I’m proud of what my brother has done. His success motivates me. He’s a world champion. These are the kind of things we look forward to.
“This is our time. There is no more that we can say. There is a lot that’s coming ahead of us.
“Jeg kommer til at vinde. I trained hard. It’s time for a world title for me. I have to fulfill my end of the bargain. John Jackson has been in wars, but so have I. This is our time, me and my brother’s.
“Being on the same card as my brother is already a high standard so being on a card with the rest of the undercard guys, I’m honored and ready to show what I have to do. I’m ready to make history. I’m ready to win this belt and enjoy my vacation after.
“I’m sticking with 154 lige nu. I would love to go to 160 because it’s easier for me but because it’s easier that’s why I wouldn’t go up. Making 154 for him is easy as well, he just sees other options.”
JOHN JACKSON
“I’m extremely blessed to be here. I’m looking to make history. My dad was a champion and I’m going to do the same thing.
“Jermell is just selling the fight. We don’t take anything he says personally. We’ll humble him and put him in his place.
“This is a dream come true and the Jackson legacy will live on.
“Det kommer til at være en stor aften. This could be the best fight of the card, easily. If you watch my career, every single fight I bring it. You’re going to see action and explosiveness.”
On Jermell Charlo’s comments about his father…
“That’s disrespectful. My dad paid his dues and to talk about my dad like that is kind of disrespectful. It’s not getting to me. Fighters use that to try to get in your head but it’s fine, I’ll let him pay in the ring.”
If Jermell’s ego is getting to him…
“Ja, he needs to humble himself. That was a little out of line. But we’ll see what he looks like in the ring.”
On what flaws he sees in his game…
“He has a lot of flaws. How he leans forward and waits a lot. But his style is perfect for my style. I always bring it and give 100 percent and we’re looking for a stoppage.
“It’s going to be explosive don’t miss it. SHOWTIME, it’s going down.”

Før 13,395 fans på MGM Grand Garden Arena, Mayweather forbedres 49-0 (26 KOS), matcher referatet af afdøde sværvægter mester Rocky Marciano med en 12-round beslutning i løbet af tidligere to-tiden weltervægt verdensmester Andre Berto (30-4, 23 KOS). I total kontrol fra starten, Mayweather sejrede ved snesevis af 120-108, 118-110 og 117-111.
Efter den endelige bell, Mayweather faldt på knæ i afspejling af hans sidste handling.
“Du er nødt til at vide, hvornår de skal hænge det op,” han fortalte SHOWTIME s Jim Gray i ringen bagefter. “Jeg banker på døren; Jeg er tæt på 40 år.
“Jeg har været i denne sport 19 år, været en verdensmester 18 år, brød alle optegnelser. Der er ikke noget andet at bevise i sporten i boksning.
“Min 49-0 post er en del af boksning. Registreringer er lavet til at blive brudt. Forhåbentlig en dag vi kan finde den næste Floyd Mayweather.
“Nu er det tid til at tilbringe tid med min familie og børn, sørg de får den rette uddannelse. Jeg vil også gerne hjælpe krigere under Mayweather Promotions banneret.
“Jeg forlader sporten med alle mine fakulteter; Jeg er stadig skarp og smart. Jeg har opnået alt i denne sport, der er intet andet at udrette.
“Penge gør ikke mig. Jeg tjener penge.
“Jeg ønsker ikke at rangere mig selv, men jeg er den bedste til boksning.
“Jeg vil gerne takke alle de fans, der kom ud for at støtte denne begivenhed. For 19 år, jeg ville ikke være i stand til at gøre det uden disse fans.
“Andre Berto har hjerte, en enorm hage. Han ville ikke fastsætte, det var en god kamp. Han var en hård konkurrent, men erfaringen spillet en stor rolle i aften. Hvad kan jeg sige? I was the better man tonight. Det betyder ikke noget, hvis jeg såre min venstre eller min højre hånd, min karriere er forbi. Det er officielt.”
Berto var tilfreds med sin præstation, men indrømmede han ikke var på Mayweather niveau.
“Erfaring spillede en stor rolle i denne kamp,” sagde han. “Jeg vil gerne takke hele mit hold, min familie og alle Haiti, der er at se.
“Jeg var i form til denne kamp; han var bare svært at holde på. Han er glat. Jeg brugte en masse fart, men han er rigtig snu. Han var ved hjælp af små ting at få mig fra min rytme.
“En fyr som mig har en masse stolthed. I told him that every time I caught him with a good shot that I was here to stay. I put on a great performance, skubbede ham til grænsen. Men, vi faldt kort.”
I den anden af ​​to verden titel kæmper på pay-per-view undercard, Roman “Rocky” Martinez (29-2-3, 17 KOS) beholdt sin WBO Junior Letvægts titel med en spændende 12-round flertal uafgjort i en omkamp mod fire-tiden verdensmester Orlando “Siri” Afgået(42-13-3, 29 KOS).
Picking up, hvor de slap, da de kæmpede i en kamp af året kandidat april sidste år, vundet af Martinez, begge krigere udvekslede slag for 36 minutter af glubske handling. Hver gik ned i tredje runde. Ved afslutningen af ​​en slugfest, hvor mere end 1,700 slag blev kastet, en dommer scoret det til Martinez (115-113), Havde en Salido (115-113) foran og den anden kaldte det selv (114-114).
Både Martinez og Salido troede, at de skulle have fået afgørelsen, og går ind for en tredje kamp.
“Jeg absolut vundet kampen,” Said Martinez, der var at gøre den første forsvar i sin tredje tørn som WBO Junior Letvægts verdensmester. “De talte et knockdown, der ikke var virkelig en knockdown.
“Han kastede en masse slag, men de fleste af dem ikke forbinde, de landede på mine arme. Hvor du ønsker at tredje kamp mellem os, Jeg vil tage det.”
Said Salido, en to-tiden fjerlette verdensmester, der var aggressoren hele og leveret mere end 1,000 punches, “Jeg gjorde alt arbejdet, og jeg troede, at jeg vandt kampen. Jeg troede de første par runder var endnu, men så tog jeg kontrollen over kampen bagefter.
“Jeg var helt sikkert på udkig efter mesterskabet. Som I alle så jeg kastede flere af de slag, og jeg troede, at jeg vandt kampen.
“Jeg dedikeret så meget for denne kamp, for dem at tage det væk fra mig er ikke fair. Bestemt, Jeg er klar til en tredje kamp.”
I en anden verden titel kamp, Badou Jack “The Ripper” (20-1-1, 12 KOS) held forsvarede sin WBC Super Mellemvægt verden titel med en hård, crowd-glædeligt 12-round flertalsafgørelser løbet obligatoriske udfordrer “Saint” George Groves (21-3, 16 KOS). Donkraft, der faldt Groves sent i første runde, sejrede af snesevis af 116-111, 115-112 og 113-114. Den hårde-held Groves, der brat flygtede ringen i vantro efter annonceringen, faldt til 0-3 i verden titel slagsmål.
Jack var imponerende i, hvad der kan have været hans hårdeste kamp til dato.
“Groves har en masse hjerte,” sagde Jack, der var at gøre den indledende forsvar af WBC bælte han tog fra Anthony Dirrell i april.
“Karosseriarbejde bliver min underskrift. Jeg var ikke effektive nok, fordi jeg ikke kunne slå ham ud. Jeg følte efter den første runde, jeg kunne, men jeg kunne bare ikke. Jeg gik ikke til kroppen nok.
“Jeg har ikke tænkt på min næste kamp endnu, men der er en masse store kampe for mig. Jeg hørte Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. ønsker at kæmpe mig. Jeg ønsker at nyde denne sejr, men jeg vil kæmpe nogen.”
Sejren var Jack fjerde i træk, siden at lide den enlige tabet af sin karriere på en chokerende første runde knockout tab til Derek Edwards i februar 2014.
Groves, hvis eneste andre tab var i back-to-back kampe mod daværende verdensmesterCarl Froch, bestred ikke knockdown men havde et problem med afgørelsen.
“Jeg troede, jeg vandt kampen afgørende,” sagde han. “Jeg troede, jeg kontrollerede kampen med min jab og at jeg var i kontrol i hele, selv, it appeared closer to the judges.
“Det var en legit knockdown i første runde. Han landede højre over toppen, men jeg har god kondition, og jeg troede, jeg fik tilbage i kontrol over denne runde. Men alle kredit til ham selv scorer det knockdown i første runde.
“Tillykke til Badou. Jeg håber, at han har en vellykket regeringstid som mester. Jeg ville elske at bekæmpe ham igen, og forhåbentlig vil jeg gøre bedre næste gang. Jeg vil tage lidt tid at finde ud af, hvad der bliver det næste. At miste en verden titel kamp er den værste følelse i verden.”
Puerto Rico Jonathan “Støv” Oquendo (26-4, 16 KOS) overvandt en første runde knockdown, scorede et knockdown af sin egen og ked tidligere to-division verdensmesterJhonny Gonzalez (58-10, 49 KOS). Oquendo won a 10-round majority decision in a good action fight that opened the pay-per-view telecast. Oquendo vandt den største anfald af sin karriere ved at snesevis af 95-93, en out-of-line 98-90 og 94-94.
For Oquendo, sejren i sin sjette optræden på MGM Grand Garden Arena var den 12th i hans sidste 14 slagsmål.
“Jeg føler mig meget glad,” Said Oquendo, som er faldet med en venstre hook med ca. et minut tilbage i den første. “Jhonny Gonzalez er en stor mester. I knew I had to throw a lot of punches and work to get inside to get the victory. I was able to implement that game plan tonight.”
Gonzalez, en tidligere to-tiden WBC fjerlette og WBO Bantamvægt verdensmester, blev utilfreds med den scoring samt alle de utilsigtede headbutts. Han blev droppet ved et lige højre hånd om 2:00 mark i den anden.
“Dommerne begunstiget ham for meget,” Gonzalez sagde. “Han holdt hovedet butting mig. Det bare ikke gå godt. Så snart han bankede mig ned, intet skete. Jeg fik lige højre back up.”
I en kamp Lørdag at luftet i løbet af “NEDTÆLLING LIVE” på SHOWTIME før pay-per-view telecast, mangeårige junior mellemvægt contender Vanerne Martirosyan (36-2-1, 21 KOS), af Glendale, Calif., scorede to knockdowns undervejs til at vinde en 10-round flertalsafgørelser i tidligere IBF 154-pund mester Ische Smith (27-8, 12 KOS) af Las Vegas, af snesevis af 97-91 to gange og 95-95.
“I feel awesome. I worked hard and it paid off. I hadn’t seen my family in 10 uger. I was in training in the Bay Area,” Martirosyan sagde. “Var spiser 100 jabs en runde. I knew he was a Mayweather fighter and I was going into the fight already down five rounds.
“Jeg vidste, jeg var nødt til at vinde. Min hjørne fortalte mig at gå ind og have det sjovt, men jeg ønskede at slå ham ud.
“Jeg vidste så snart jeg landede den første knockdown, at jeg var nødt til at holde vil. Jeg troede ikke, han ville komme op fra den anden knockdown. Han havde aldrig blevet droppet før. Han har kæmpet en masse gode krigere og jeg faldt ham to gange.”
Smith, den første indfødte Las Vegan at indfange en verden titel, følte kampen var meget strammere.
“Den første knockdown var ikke alvorligt. Han har lige fanget mig i baghovedet. Den anden var legit, men jeg stod op klar til at komme tilbage på ham,” Smith sagde.
“Seks point er latterligt. Jeg troede, det var tættere på 95-95 eller 95-94. Jeg syntes bare det var meget tættere end de to dommere, og min hjørne holdes fortæller det var virkelig tæt. Men vi forventede en hård kamp ud af (Martirosyan). Han er lang, rangy og en god puncher, men det er derfor jeg ønskede at komme indenfor og bekæmpe ham der.
“Jeg kæmpede et helvede af en kamp mod Ingen. 3-rangeret fighter i vores division. Jeg har en masse forladt. Jeg skubber disse fyre til grænsen. Jeg tager ikke noget fra ham. Han er en af ​​de bedste i verden, og jeg er en tidligere verdensmester. Vi gav fans en stor kamp i aften, og jeg vil være tilbage igen snart.”

“Det handler om at komme på indersiden for mig. Martinez er en intelligent fighter og han ved, hvordan man bruger sin rækkevidde. Hvis jeg kan få inde i hans bryst og angribe kroppen, jeg vil få den sejr.
