LOS ANGELES (Ottobre 25, 2018) – Lineal heavyweight champion Tyson Fury hosted a Los Angeles media day Thursday at Churchill Boxing Club in Santa Monica as he prepares to take on WBC Heavyweight Champion Deontay Wilder Sabato, Dicembre 1 from STAPLES Center in Los Angeles on SHOWTIME PPV®.

 

 

 

Furia, who is training in Big Bear, arrived nearby by helicopter for the media workout to discuss the showdown with Wilder before jumping into the ring to show off the skills that made him an IBF, WBA and WBO heavyweight champion.

 

 

 

I biglietti per l'evento, che è promosso da BombZquad Enterprises e Queensberry Promotions, in associazione con DiBella Entertainment e TGB Promotions, sono già in vendita. I prezzi dei biglietti partono da $75, plus applicable fees and are available viaAXS.com. Wilder vs. Fury will be produced and distributed by SHOWTIME PPV.

 

 

 

Fury was working out in shorts from Oddball, a company that donates all of its proceeds to research to fight testicular cancer, a cause Fury has championed. Here is what Fury and his trainer, Ben Davison, had to say Thursday from Churchill Boxing Club in Santa Monica:

 

TYSON FURY

 

 

 

This is an important fight for boxing, because it’s two undefeated champions facing off. There have been people not getting in the ring with top guys for whatever reason, but here you have two fighters stepping up and onto the line.

 

 

 

It’s a pretty easy fight to analyze, Deontay Wilder needs to connect with that big right hand and knock me out, and I need to not let him do that. I need to do whatever I can to get out the way of that right hand, and make him worry about defending my punches.

 

 

 

I already became a unified champion; I’ve crossed the bridge into the very upper echelon of the sport. This time I’m back and I’m here for good.

 

 

 

I’m back to reclaim my throne. Even though I’ve had the tune-up fights, I feel like this is my true comeback fight.

 

 

 

I’m used to being in hostile, solitary environments for training camp. For the Wladimir Klitschko fight I was in Holland, in a forest 10 miles away from any shop or town. I thrive in the condition in Big Bear.

 

 

 

There have been no distractions training up in Big Bear. It’s perfect. There’s nothing but a few bears and rattle snakes. That’s it as far as distractions.

 

 

 

I have a great up-and-coming trainer and he’s going to have me ready for the challenge.

 

 

 

I wear these funky shorts in public a lot and I wore them today because they represent a company called Oddballs, and every penny spent on these pants goes to research to fight testicular cancer. A friend of mine went through it recently, and I want to spread awareness for him and this cause.

 

BEN DAVISON, Fury’s Trainer

 

 

 

I have a great sense of Tyson Fury and can feel what he needs when he wakes up each day and walks into the gym. Our relationship has really gelled these last 12 mesi.

 

 

 

It’s going to be an action-packed fight that’s for sure. Both men are violent freaks of nature to be honest with you. It’s going to be an epic battle.

 

 

 

I think physically alone you can see how far Tyson Fury has come. That takes a lot of willpower and dedication. He’s put a lot of work in just physically, and that’s really just a slice of what he’s shown in the gym.

 

 

 

All heavyweights can punch, if any one of them hit you on the chin, you’re going to have problems. It’s not the power of Wilder that we’re focusing on, it’s the agility, speed and awkwardness that he brings. We’re studying his habits and watching every little thing that he does in the ring.

 

 

 

It takes fights like these to bring the best out of Tyson Fury. He’s a fighter who raises his game to what’s in front of him.

Di seguito sono riportate citazioni flash dall'evento di oggi al The Novo di Microsoft a Los Angeles. In diretta:

 

Deontay Wilder

 

 

 

"Ho combattuto uno dei migliori e penso di combattere il prossimo migliore in linea nella divisione dei pesi massimi, e penso che sia un duro. La cosa su Tyson, è mentalmente forte. È il re degli zingari e sai cosa dicono degli zingari; sono persone in viaggio e sono persone senza paura. Ed è per questo che è l'avversario perfetto per questa situazione, per questa occasione di riportare la divisione dei pesi massimi. Quindi quando lo butto fuori posso dire di aver messo fuori combattimento qualcuno che era senza paura.

 

 

 

"È fantastico per la divisione dei pesi massimi. È carismatico, lui può parlare, Ho un ottimo compagno di ballo. È senza paura sul ring e ha un background di boxe nel sangue; prende il nome da Mike Tyson e tutto ciò è fantastico. È positivo che provenga da un altro paese, quindi puoi vedere culture diverse, personalità diverse da noi due. Ne hai uno dall'America e ne hai uno dalla Gran Bretagna. Quindi questo renderà ancora più piacevole per me quando lo metterò KO.

 

 

 

“Tutto questo si aggiunge. Questo è eccitante per me e non vedo l'ora di tornare a Los Angeles. Quello che sto dicendo è che lo metterò KO.

 

 

 

“Sai cosa vengo a fare e sai cosa vengo a fare a dicembre 1. Quando vieni a vedere i combattimenti, vieni a vedere qualcuno che viene messo fuori combattimento. Non verrai a vedere i combattimenti di 12 round. So che verrai a vedere alcune abilità, ma verrai a vedere il corpo di quest'uomo sulla tela ed è quello che ti consegnerò.

 

TYSON FURY

 

 

 

"Non c'è un uomo nato da sua madre di cui Tyson Fury abbia paura, e soprattutto non un uomo che indossa le trecce tutti i giorni. Non temo nulla di lui; Non temo nulla che possa fare.

 

 

 

“È una lotta. Possiamo fare tutte queste cose sul palco, Posso camminare da queste parti e parlare bene come qualsiasi uomo del paese. Ma quando si tratta di litigare, sarà una lotta infernale. Deontay Wilder: pugno massiccio. Me: abile pugile. Sarà una notte epica. Questa è una lotta legata all'eredità e credo che sia vero. E dopo che ho vinto, mi assumerà come suo addetto stampa perché credo di poter promuovere Deontay Wilder di nuovo ad essere campione del mondo dei pesi massimi in pochissimo tempo. Ma non c'è da vergognarsi a perdere contro di me perché sono il più grande pugile della mia generazione e non posso essere battuto, soprattutto non da lui.

 

 

 

“Ce ne sono stati molti, molti combattenti prima come Deontay Wilder, ma non c'è mai stato un Tyson Fury prima nella storia della boxe. Lo so perché ho studiato il gioco a fondo.

 

 

 

"Sto dando [Wilder] l'opportunità di combattere The Gypsy King. Ho il diritto al trono che risale a anni e anni fa, quindi gli sto dando l'opportunità di diventare qualcosa.

 

 

 

"Solo nei sogni Deontay Wilder mette fuori combattimento Tyson Fury. Solo nei suoi sogni

 

 

 

"Deontay Wilder ha bisogno di Tyson Fury ma Tyson Fury non ha bisogno di Deontay Wilder. Ho scelto Deontay Wilder come vittima facile. Questa sarà la battaglia più facile della mia carriera".

 

SHELLY FINKEL

 

 

 

“Sarà una grande battaglia. Ultimamente, Ho visto Tyson Fury cantare la canzone, "C'è solo un Tyson Fury". Penso che l'abbia rubato a Ricky Hatton e tu hai visto cosa gli è successo. Penso che questa tendenza continuerà".

 

FRANK WARREN

 

 

 

“Penso che Tyson sia uno dei migliori, è sicuramente uno dei pesi massimi più colorati che sia uscito dalla Gran Bretagna. Le sue abilità sono sublimi, lui fa l'impossibile. È andato in Germania, ha portato Klitschko a scuola; un buon Klitschko. Ha combattuto il ragazzo e come ha detto, lui è il campione assoluto. Ama le sfide ed è un viaggiatore. Ecco perché viene nel cortile di Deontay. Sta arrivando negli States, sta combattendo uno dei pesi massimi più esplosivi degli ultimi anni, un ragazzo che può dare un pugno. Penso che gli stili facciano combattere, e tutti dicono che Tyson correrà e Deontay gli verrà dietro. Non credo che succederà; Penso la notte, vedrai Tyson mantenere la sua posizione e vedrai avere dei fuochi d'artificio seri.

 

 

 

"Questa è una grande lotta, è una lotta per i fan, è fantastico essere qui a Los Angeles. per fare questa lotta. È fantastico che siamo in America per portare un altro inglese qui per riprendersi la cintura.

 

 

 

“Questo è il meglio combattere i migliori; i due migliori pesi massimi al mondo che si sono fatti avanti e hanno combattuto in quel modo.

 

STEPHEN ESPINOZA

 

 

 

“Abbiamo un evento molto speciale. Cosa lo rende così speciale? Chiaramente, è una grande lotta per il titolo dei pesi massimi, ma c'è un diverso tipo di mistica e ronzio per una lotta per il titolo dei pesi massimi. Abbiamo una lotta per il titolo dei pesi massimi tra due atleti d'élite. Abbiamo il pugile più duro del pugilato contro uno dei pugili più abili dello sport, sicuramente nella divisione dei pesi massimi. È un affascinante incontro di stili. Abbiamo due grandi personalità e i due combattenti più alti nella divisione dei pesi massimi.

 

 

 

“In una città di grandi eventi, abbiamo il più grande degli eventi. L.A. ha sicuramente avuto la sua parte di grandi combattimenti - Henry Armstrong, Arte aragonese, Bobby Chacon, Oscar De La Hoya, Shane Mosley – hanno combattuto tutti qui. e LA. ha persino ospitato la sua parte di combattimenti dei pesi massimi. Jim Jeffries, Jack Johnson ha combattuto qui, Anche Muhammad Ali ha combattuto qui. Ma in termini di importanti combattimenti per il titolo dei pesi massimi a Los Angeles, la lista è molto corta. Ci sono stati tre combattimenti contro Vitali Klitschko. Chris Arreola, Corrie Sanders e Lennnox Lewis. Questo è tutto. Quattro combattenti hanno combattuto per il titolo mondiale dei pesi massimi a Los Angeles nella sua storia. Questo è un evento raro a Los Angeles. Non da 2009 abbiamo visto un evento per il titolo dei pesi massimi a Los Angeles?. e in una città di eventi da non perdere, questo è l'apice. C'è più del titolo WBC in gioco, più che orgoglio, si tratta di eredità e storia”.

Below are flash quotes from today’s event at Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York:

Deontay Wilder

 

 

“This fight means everything to the heavyweight division. This division was once in a dark place. A lot of people considered the division boring and not entertaining and not enough great fighters. Sai, people always look back at the past and say, ‘Where are the golden days? Where has it gone?’ And now today’s era is different… We’ve brought the sport back to life in the heavyweight division.

 

 

 

“We all know with me it comes with power and with knockouts. And that’s what I do. I get you guys motivated and I get you guys inspired to come and see a heavyweight fight. Because what you guys come to see in a heavyweight fight is a knockout. And I deliver that each and every time. Like I’ve said before, when I say I promise you, I promise you I’m going to knock out the Gypsy King, anche. TIMBERRRRRR!"

 

 

 

“I’m the one who brought him back. I’m the one who encouraged him when he was in that dark place. Gli ho detto, ‘You can do it.’ I dared him to come back. I dared him for this very moment. I want him to have confidence. I want him to have energy. As you can see, that’s nerves. That’s all nerves. Because he knows what’s going to happen. He knows his face is going to get smashed in. And he knows his body will be on the pavement. Let him burn out this energy. It’s entertaining. Because when we get in the ring he’s gonna be all by himself and his demeanor will change. His mannerisms are going to change. He’s so nervous right now. He don’t know what do to with himself.

 

 

 

“Don’t give people false promises. I was born off of false promises and got nothing for free. I promise I’m going to knock you out. I speak it, believe and receive it and it’s mine. I don’t have to show so much energy, bambino."

 

TYSON FURY

 

 

“Even Deontay Wilder knows to sit in the presence of greatness. Why I am going to beat this bum is because he can’t box. He’s a big swinger and he’s knocked a few bums out. He’s been in 40 combatte e si 35 of them have been against total tomato cans who can’t fight back. So really he’s only had five fights. If he thinks a five-fight novice is going to land one of those big swinging windmills onto my chin, then he can think again. After he feels a bit of power and a few stiff jabs in the face his ass is going to fall out. This is what’s going to happen: At about round five or six I’m going to start landing the overhand right and going downstairs to the body. And then around eight, nine 10, the championship rounds then it’s welcome to my world. He’s only been 12 rounds once in his career, and I’ve been 12 rounds championship distance many, many times.

 

 

 

“I’m very experienced and I’ve come back against all odds. I’m here today having beaten so many, many problems. How am I going to let this little spaghetti noodle beat me? How am I going to do that? They don’t call me the Gypsy King for nothing. I didn’t come to New York and Los Angeles and all these press conferences to be embarrassed by this little skinny runt. I’m going to knock him spark out.

 

 

 

“I’m a big, fat, bearded man who can fight like hell. You don’t need to see this fat. We all know I’m the master of disaster. We all know I have a fat stomach. But it’s going to look even worse for you when you get beaten by a fat man.

 

 

 

“I don’t want the Deontay Wilder belt. I want the Tyson Fury belt. I want the limited edition WBC belt. There’s only one Tyson Fury!

 

 

 

“You are on a suicide mission. You know I’m a CRAZY man. I’m gonna make this bum quit. I’m going to make him quit. I’m going to show him what’s it’s like to fight a real man. A real world champion. Does he even know they don’t just give lineal champion belts away? This man has never beaten a world champion. He fought some bum [Bermane] Stiverne that no one’s ever heard of.

 

 

 

“You already know you’ve lost the fight. You’re very nervous right now because all the pressure is on you.”

 

LOU DiBella

 

 

“On Dec. 1 on the floor of the Staples Center it’s going to be bombs away. You’re going to get to see the Power, and the Fury when the undefeated, hardest punching and most feared heavyweight of the world, the WBC champion, the Bronze Bomber Deontay Wilder faces the fearless Gypsy King, the undefeated linear heavyweight champion of the world.

 

 

 

“There’s no magic to making a fight of this magnitude. All it takes is for each champion to want to fight. A dicembre 1 two of the three best heavyweights in the world are fighting each other, and the winner can walk away saying, ‘I AM the man!’ Until proven otherwise. That’s what this is all about. As the heavyweights go, so goes boxing. And the heavyweight division is heading for big things. A dicembre 1 you are going to see a heavyweight fight for the generations.”

STEPHEN ESPINOZA

 

 

“There is something undeniably unique about a heavyweight title fight. Not just unique in boxing, but unique across sports. There’s a mystique, a mythical quality. Boxing’s heavyweight champions have always been heroic figures; almost super heroes. There’s a feel, a buzz in a heavyweight championship fight that is unique across all sports. And there’s certainly a unique feel to this fight, anche. We have the two tallest men, the biggest men in the heavyweight division – 6-foot-9 and 6-foot-7; two huge figures both literally and figuratively.

 

 

 

“Deontay Wilder: 40 combattimenti, 39 KO, most in devastating fashion. He’s one of the hardest punchers not just in boxing today, but modern boxing history. In Tyson Fury we certainly have a unique skill set. You do not see athletes who are 6-foot-9 who move the way Tyson Fury moves. He has a unique set of skills with athleticism. Outside of the NBA there’s not another more athletic 6-foot-9 athlete on the planet. It’s a fascinating clash of personalities and it’s a fascinating clash of styles and we are happy to bring it to you on SHOWTIME Pay-Per-View.”

In anticipation of the biggest heavyweight event in the U.S. since Mike Tyson-Lennox Lewis in 2002, the Wilder vs. Fury International Press Tour continues Tuesday at Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York and concludes Wednesday in Los Angeles.

 

 

 

Below are flash quotes from today’s event at BT Sport Headquarters in London:

Deontay Wilder

 

 

“I believe every word that I say. When I say I’m going to knock a man out and tell him where and how he may lay, it comes to pass. I’m all about devastating knockouts, that’s what I do. Non c'è pressione su di me. You just need to be there to witness it.

 

 

 

“He has two months to get ready. He’s lost a lot of weight but he needs to lose a little bit more. He already knows he’s going to get knocked out. He can hoot and holler, he can build himself up but he needs to take my advice and speak it, believe it, receive it. He’s going to feel pain he’s never felt before.

 

 

 

“Some people don’t even think I should be fighting Fury at this point in time. Whether they want to see another fight or they don’t think he’s ready right now, we can’t live off other’s opinions. When you come to see a Deontay Wilder fight, you’re only coming to see one thing and that’s me knocking somebody out. You all are looking at the 41st person that’s going to be knocked out.

 

 

 

“The antics aren’t going to work against me. Non sono (Wladimir) Klitschko, this is Deontay Wilder.

 

 

 

“I definitely think I’m the No. 1 heavyweight in the world. I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t feel I was the best. I’m not worried about any other fighters or what they’re saying or how they are hyping themselves up. I already know I’m the part. All you have to do is tune in. I’m about to put him in the oven and make a muffin.”

 

TYSON FURY

 

 

“I am no challenger for no man. I am the lineal heavyweight champion of the world. That means I’m the best of the best. The elite champion. This is two champions colliding, this is equal-rights champion vs. campione.

 

 

 

“I’m savoring nothing. The only thing I’m savoring is smashing Deontay Wilder’s teeth in. The press has all turned up today to see the biggest fight of our generation between two undefeated giants, and boy are you going to get a fight. You’re in for a real treat, don’t worry about that. I’m in no mood to dance around the ring. There’s not a 15 stone man on the planet that can beat Tyson Fury.

 

 

 

“I have no concern at all about my lack of fights in recent years. If you can fight, you can fight. I picked this fight. I said to Frank, get me this fight. I could have fought another 10 bums and won them too. Nobody forced me to fight Deontay Wilder, I picked him because I believe he’s an easy touch.”

 

 

 

“I will stand right in front of him and prove what I will do. I will punch his face seven days a week and twice on a Sunday. If we fought 30 volte, I’d win 30 times.”

 

LOU DiBella

 

 

“It’s been a long time since the heavyweight division has had two giants like this. Two champions at the top of their game, at the top of their division willing to fight one another. It’s not rocket science making a fight. Deontay spent a lot of time trying to make a fight with another guy from England who didn’t want to fight. When Fury got himself back into the ring and got himself in the shape he is in now, Shelly (Finkel) and Frank (Conigliera) were able to make this fight very quickly.

 

 

 

“When two great champions want to make a fight, the fight happens. That’s why December 1 is happening. We’re going to know right then and there who the best heavyweight on the planet is until proven otherwise. The winner of this fight will be the best heavyweight on the planet.

 

 

 

“Fury is an interesting guy who has had to overcome a lot of adversity. I think he should be proud of himself for getting his life in order and being able to turn things around. What he’s done in the last six months has been remarkable. I’m still going to admire him after he gets knocked out on December 1.”

 

SHELLY FINKEL

 

 

“I have nothing but respect for our challenger, Furia. When I was handling Klitschko, we didn’t think Fury had a chance against him. He proved me wrong. He won’t prove me wrong twice.

 

 

 

“We didn’t pick to fight Tyson because we thought he was easy, we believe he’s the best out there. We want to fight the best, and only the best. We have respect for you because your countryman didn’t want to fight even though he was offered a fortune to fight. When it was presented, he said no. I commend you for stepping right in.”

 

FRANK WARREN

 

 

“These are the two best heavyweights because they’re willing to step in the ring together. That’s what great fighters do. We are going to see something special on December 1. I think it’s going to be a fight that nobody expects. This is not going to be cat and mouse, che sarà una guerra. Tyson has a fighter’s mentality. He’s not trying to duck out through contracts, through a backdoor method. He wanted the fight and Shelly and I worked together to make this happen. You cannot miss it. This will be one of the best heavyweight fights for a long time.

 

 

 

“Fury is traveling to the other guy’s backyard like he did when he went to Germany and took Klitschko to school. He’s going to take Deontay’s belt and this is a fight you cannot afford to miss.”

 

STEPHEN ESPINOZA

 

 

“This is a fight that has captivated America and will continue to captivate America. We have two mythical figures and that’s what people love about the heavyweight division; they are almost superheroes. In particular, these two individuals are the two largest men in the heavyweight division and I mean that in a physical sense as well as their personalities. Su carta, sul ring, on the press tour, it’s a phenomenal matchup.”

Sugar Ray Leonard, Errol Spence Jr., Keith Thurman, Manny Pacquiao & More Discuss Saturday, Settembre 8 Matchup Live on SHOWTIME from Barclays Center in Brooklyn & Presentato da Premier Boxing Champions

BROOKLYN (Settembre 5, 2018) – Top welterweight stars of the past, present and future have weighed in with their thoughts on the highly anticipated matchup that pits former welterweight champions Danny Garcia e Shawn Porter against each other for the vacant WBC Welterweight World Title Saturday, Settembre 8 in the main event live on SHOWTIME from Barclays Center, la casa di Brooklyn boxe ™.

 

 

 

La trasmissione televisiva Showtime Championship Boxing inizia alle 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT and features a welterweight title eliminator between Cuba’s yordenis ugás and Argentina’s Cesar Barrionuevo and heavyweight action that pits unbeaten Polish slugger Adam Kownacki against former heavyweight champion Charles Martin.

 

 

 

I biglietti per l'evento dal vivo, promosso da TGB Promotions e DiBella Entertainment, in associazione con promozioni DSG, inizio alle $50 e sono già in vendita. I biglietti possono essere acquistati presso ticketmaster.com, barclayscenter.com, o chiamando 800-745-3000. Tickets can also be purchased at the American Express Box Office at Barclays Center. Sconti di gruppo sono disponibili chiamando il 844-BKLYN-GP.

 

 

 

Here is what a group of current and former welterweight fighters had to say about the Garcia vs. Porter world title showdown:

 

Sugar Ray Leonard, Hall of Famer & Former Unified Welterweight World Champion

 

 

 

I feel the Danny Garcia vs. Shawn Porter fight has the makings of an exciting fight from what I’ve seen of both of these talented fighters. So here is my prediction based on what I feel both fighters bring into the ring

 

 

 

Garcia will win if he uses his jab to keep Porter at bay and off balance, but Porter gains a victory if he connects and hurts Garcia early and makes him abandon his boxing ability and fight like a sluggeras I did with my first fight vs Roberto Duran.

 

 

 

This is how I see this matchup which should be an exciting fight!”

 

ERROL SPENCE JR., Unbeaten IBF Welterweight World Champion

 

 

 

I definitely want to fight the winner of Danny Garcia vs. Shawn Porter. That’s a close fight. I always picked against Danny Garcia in the past, and he always proved me wrong. Shawn Porter’s always a tough fight, because he’s going to come forward and give it his all. He’s basically trying to mug you. Ma per questa lotta, it’s hard to go against Danny Garcia. I pick Danny Garcia to win a split decision.

 

KEITH THURMAN, Welter WBA campione del mondo; Former Unified Champion

 

 

 

I honestly love this fight, and I consider it a tremendous battle and one of the best matchups of the year. Per me, having fought both of them, I do believe that each is capable of hurting the other and getting one another out of there.

 

 

 

I know most fans are going to lean toward Danny Garcia with his knockout power and the potential for that. Then there is Shawn, who’s got a decent punch, even though he focuses on his output more than his one-punch solid blow and has it in his arsenal to hurt Danny Garcia.

 

 

I wouldn’t bet on Shawn getting the knockout, but I would on Shawn getting the victory, simply because of his output. I think Danny’s only chance of winning is by knockout, but even as a gambling man, I can’t put my money on Danny getting it. I’m taking Shawn Porter by decision.”

 

Manny Pacquiao, Multiple-Time Welterweight World Champion

 

 

 

I’m going to give the edge to Danny Garcia. They’re both gritty fighters, but I think Garcia is a little more technical with a little more ring generalship. It should be a great fight, and there’s a possibility of me fighting the winner, but we’ll have to see what happens.

 

MIKEY GARCIA, Four-Division World Champion

 

 

 

I think this is a very good matchup. Shawn Porter is the kind of athlete who is always bringing the fight to you with pressure and volume punching. They both come to fight and they can both take it and dish it out.

 

 

 

Danny Garcia can use his skills to box on the outside and work from a distance. I think Danny will be able to box a little more and win more of the tight rounds in a very close fight. I’m not sure if it will be a split-decision or a unanimous decision. I believe that Danny will use more of those tactics to win an exciting decision.

 

JORDENIS UGAS, Top Welterweight Contender

 

 

 

I have much respect for Shawn Porter, and I think it will be a great fight but, Danny Garcia has more technique and he’s also faced and beaten better opponents than Porter. I am leaning toward Danny Garcia to pull off the victory.

 

ROBERT GUERRERO, Former Multiple Division World Champion

 

 

 

This will be a very entertaining fight for the fans. I can see Danny putting up a good fight, but Porter is going to make the fight rough, and Garcia doesn’t like those type of fights. I’m going with Porter to win by split decision.”

 

Victor Ortiz, Former Welterweight World Champion

 

 

 

I think it’s going to be a fast-paced fight. Shawn will be pushing forward, making it rough on Danny, and Danny will be trying to control the distance. I’m going with Danny, giving him the slight edge and saying he wins by a decision.”

 

JAMAL JAMES, Welter Contender

 

 

 

It’s a good one. Shawn is busier than Danny, more active and carries a lot of momentum when he fights. But that’s not always a good thing because Garcia has power with his timing, he might be able to catch Porter coming in. I’m thinking that Shawn Porter pulls it off. ”

 

BRANDON RIOS, Ex campione del mondo & Welterweight Title Challenger

 

 

 

That’s a really tough fight to predict. If Danny can counter really well and keep Shawn Porter off of him while Porter’s coming in, then I see Danny stopping him.

 

 

 

But if Shawn Porter is able to pressure Danny like he usually does, I don’t see Shawn Porter stopping Danny, or anything, but I see him winning by split-decision if he can be in his chest all night long. But if Porter gets nailed with one of those left hooks or a straight right hand, I say Porter goes down. I’m going to go with Danny because he knocked me out.”

 

BRYANT PERRELLA, Welter Prospect

 

 

 

It could come down to how well Shawn Porter can take Danny Garcia’s punches in a fight that’s really hard to predict, and how well Danny can move, given that he’s not known for having fast feet similar to a guy like Keith Thurman.

 

 

 

But if Shawn can get close and smother Danny’s punches, he will make it a difficult fight. But Danny’s got really heavy hands and sits on his shots well, timing and counter-punching guys, so Porter could play into his hands.

 

 

 

Based off of clean, effective hard shots and giving him the edge in the close, competitive rounds, I’m leaning toward Danny Garcia. Shawn is tough as nails, so I see it going the distance, but just the slight edge to Danny.

 

SAMMY VASQUEZ JR., Welter Contender

 

 

 

 

I’m going with Shawn Porter. Not by stoppage, but Shawn creates too much pressure and Danny Garcia doesn’t throw enough punches and doesn’t deal with pressure. You saw that when he fought Guerrero, who wasn’t looking too bad in that fight.

 

 

 

Danny can win by knockout if he catches Shawn with that hook, but Shawn’s a workhorse and he puts forth far more pressure than I think Danny’s ever seen in a fight. Shawn may not be susceptible to it if he doesn’t have the proper head movement, but I believe that he will.

WELTERWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPION KEITH THURMAN BREAKS DOWN CHAMPIONSHIP MATCHUP OF FORMER FOES DANNY GARCIA & SHAWN PORTER

This is one of the best matchups of the year. I try not to overthink it. It’s Porter by decision or Garcia only by KO. I lean toward Porter.” –
Keith Thurman
Garcia vs. Indossare | Sabato, Settembre 8 In diretta su Showtime®
From Barclays Center In Brooklyn, Presentato da
Premier Boxing Champions

NEW YORK (Settembre 4, 2018) – Welterweight World Champion Keith Thurman has an acute understanding of what it takes to beat Danny Garcia and Shawn Porter. L'imbattuto, former unified champion edged both fighters in blockbuster matchups and will be watching intently from ringside at Barclays Center as the two face off for the WBC Welterweight World Championship Thurman vacated due to injury.

 

 

 

The reigning WBA 147-pound champion, Thurman defeated Porter via unanimous decision in a 2016 Lotta del candidato anno (FULL FIGHT VIDEO: https://s.sho.com/2MAUoNH), and narrowly beat Garcia via majority decision in 2017 (FULL FIGHT VIDEO: https://s.sho.com/2MZB6kA). The matchups were so closely contested that both fights would have been ruled draws if a single round were scored differently.

 

 

 

Thurman spoke with SHOWTIME Sports® Hall of Fame analyst Steve Farhood to break down what he callsone of the best matchups of the yearin seven key categories – potere di perforazione, physical strength, difesa, velocità, boxing ability, ring IQ and chin.

 

 

 

See below for Thurman’s analysis of the showdown of consensus top-5 welterweights, which airs this Saturday live on SHOWTIME.

 

PUNCHING POWER: Edge GARCIA: “Danny can punch with both hands. He does load up, so you can’t be right there in front of him.

 

PHYSICAL STRENGTH: Edge PORTER: “Shawn is clearly the more physical fighter.

 

DEFENSE: Edge GARCIA: “Porter’s defense is his offense. Con Danny, I’ve never seen anyone so willing to just stare at me without throwing a punch. He’s committed to being second, a pure counterpuncher.

 

SPEED: Edge PORTER: “Shawn is faster and a little more athletic. He’ll triple on the jab to get inside and use stutter-steps. Danny’s real relaxed, but that doesn’t necessarily come through in his hand speed.

 

BOXING ABILITY: Edge GARCIA: “Neither one is known for boxing. Danny’s a counterpuncher, and Shawn outworks you. Danny has nice boxing movement when he wants to be evasive. He’s underrated when on his back foot. We saw that against (Lucas) Matthysse e (Brandon) Rios.

 

RING IQ: EVEN:Hard to judge. These are two world champions with tremendous amateur pedigrees.

 

CHIN: EVEN: “In my fights, Porter took more big punches than Garcia did. I had to hit hard to keep Porter off me. They both have enough power to hurt each other.

 

PREDICTION:This is one of the best matchups of the year. I try not to overthink it. It’s Porter by decision or Garcia only by KO. I lean toward PORTER.

 

 

 

IL CAMPIONATO DI BOXE SHOWTIME® trasmissione televisiva inizia a 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT and features a welterweight title eliminator between Yordenis Ugas and Cesar Barrionuevo and heavyweight action that pits unbeaten Polish slugger Adam Kownacki against former heavyweight champion Charles Martin.

 

 

 

Undercard streaming coverage begins at 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING COUNTDOWN as five-division world champion Amanda Serrano attempts to win a world title in her record sixth weight class when she faces Yamila Esther Reynoso for the WBO 140-pound title.

AMANDA SERRANO TO FIGHT FOR WORLD TITLE IN A RECORD SIXTH WEIGHT DIVISION SATURDAY, Settembre 8

Live Streaming Undercard Coverage From Barclays Center
On SHOWTIME Sports Social Media Platforms Precedes
Danny Garcia vs. Shawn Porter Welterweight World Championship

NEW YORK – Agosto 9, 2018 – Amanda Serrano will fight for a world title in a sixth weight division on Saturday, Settembre 8 a Barclays Center, la casa di Brooklyn boxe ™. Brooklyn’s Serrano will face Yamila Esther Reynoso for the vacant WBO Junior Welterweight World Championship. If successful, Serrano will set a women’s boxing record as a six-division world champion, joining Manny Pacquiao and Oscar De La Hoya as the only boxers, maschio o femmina, to reach the mark.

SHOWTIME Sports will live-stream Serrano vs. Reynoso as part of undercard coverage on the network’s social media platforms. SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING COUNTDOWN begins live at 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT on the SHOWTIME Sports YouTube channel and SHOWTIME Boxing Facebook page. The live stream precedes a three-fight SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast (9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT, ORARIO DELLO SPETTACOLO) headlined by Danny Garcia vs. Shawn Porter for the welterweight world championship.

SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING COUNTDOWN, the network’s seventh social media offering of live boxing in 2018, is available to all domestic users with internet access. The livestream is hosted by Ray Flores with Chris Mannix serving as analyst.

Serrano (34-1-1, 26 KO), who is already the only woman to win titles in five weight classes, is looking to best her personal record. Born in Carolina, Puerto Rico and representing her hometown of Brooklyn, Serrano has won titles from 118 a 135 libbre, earning her the No. 2 ranking on the BWAA’s inaugural women’s pound-for-pound list. The 29-year-old is also the only Puerto Rican – maschio o femmina – to capture world titles in five different weight classes and will look to build on that record against Reynoso. She fights for the fifth time in her career at Barclays Center on September 8 with a chance to once again make history again in front of the passionate fan base of Puerto Rican boxing fans in New York.

I’m super excited to be fighting for a world title in my sixth weight class,” Detto Serrano. “My opponent is really a welterweight, having defended her Argentinean 147-pound title by knockout in her last fight, and is dropping down one division to face me. I am coming up four divisions for this shot. I’m sure Reynoso will rehydrate back up to her natural weight after the weigh-in, but this is a risk worth taking. She’s never been stopped either, so I know she’s durable. This is a tremendous card to be a part of with Garcia vs. Porter as the main event. Il mio promotore, Lou DiBella, has big things lined up for me, and I am eager to take on all challenges.

Reynoso (11-4-3, 8 KO), di Buenos Aires, Argentina, has challenged for world titles at 140 libbre e 154 libbre. The 22-year-old has most recently campaigned at welterweight, where she held the Argentina 147-pound title, and will be moving back down in weight for her third shot at a world title. Reynoso, who will make her U.S. debut on September 8, has recorded all eight of her knockouts inside of five rounds.

I’m very happy to be training for such a great opportunity for this WBO world title against a terrific champion in Amanda Serrano,” said Reynoso. “I am coming ready to give Serrano a real fight, and I look forward to capturing the title belt.

Amanda Serrano is one of the best pound-for-pound female boxers and one of the best boxers in the world, periodo,” ha detto Lou DiBella, Presidente di DiBella Entertainment. “She is also now a two-sport athlete, embarking on her MMA career earlier this year. Nel ring, Serrano is a record-breaker, becoming the only female boxer to win world titles in five weight classes, and on September 8, she will attempt to break her own record, vying for a sixth division championship. I’m thrilled that the world will get to see Serrano make history once again with the bout being a part of the SHOWTIME live stream online.
