Three-Division, Four-Time World Champion Abner Mares Sustains Injury; Forced To Withdraw From Match Against WBA Super Featherweight World Champion Gervonta Davis – Davis Now Set To Take on Former World Champion Hugo Ruiz in SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING Main Event Saturday, Februari 9
LOS ANGELES (Januari 30, 2019) -Three-division, four-time champion Abner Mares has been forced to pull out of the WBA Super Featherweight title match against two-time super featherweight champion Gervonta Davis on Saturday, Februari 9 after suffering an injury while training.
Davis will now defend against former world championHugo Ruizin the main event of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING, met een dekking te beginnen bij 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT from Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California and presented by Premier Boxing Champions.
Ruiz is an all-action brawler who previously picked up a world title at super bantamweight in 2015 and most recently defeated Alberto Guevara in January on the Pacquiao vs. Broner PPV event in a featherweight fight. Ruiz, die eigenaar is 18 first round knockouts, floored Guevara in the opening minute and cruised to a near-shutout decision victory.
He had originally been slotted for an interim title shot against Jhack Tepora in January before Tepora missed weight, but will now have his chance to fight for a belt against one of the most-feared punchers at 130-pounds on February 9. The 30-year-old from Sinaloa, Mexico stands at five feet, nine inches tall, nearly four inches taller than Davis, and has won three straight fights leading up to this fight.
“I trained for three months to fight a southpaw when I fought in January,” said Ruiz. “When the opponent changed, it was hard to adjust in 24 uur. After the fight I immediately went back to the gym, because you never know what’s going to happen in boxing. Ik ben 100 percent ready to knockout Gervonta Davis.”
“Hugo Ruiz has another opportunity to fight for a world title because he’s demonstrated that he’s devoted to boxing and his career,” Said Sampson Lewkowicz, Ruiz’s Promoter. “He went right back to the gym after his last fight. He’s ready for another great opportunity to be a world champion and he’s going to take advantage of that opportunity.”
Mares injured his right elbow during sparring at the Robert Garcia Boxing Gym in Riverside, Calif. Mares said he had experienced soreness in his elbow following the past two fights, but nothing that had ever given him nor his team concern.
“I’m not going to sugarcoat this. I’m disappointed and devastated that I’ve injured my right elbow in sparring,” Mares said. “This is something that I haven’t had happen to me during my career and the feeling is just horrible. I will be going to see my doctor about this and am prepared to follow whatever recommendations and rehab that gets me back into the ring. I’m healthy, not afraid of doing the work and I will be back. This is a temporary setback. Don’t count me out.”
“Boxing is a sport of brains, passion and physical punishment,” zei Mares’ trainer Robert Garcia. “When you’re in the ring sparring with talented, top-class sparring partners, the chances of injuries are very high. That was the situation in this case. He was sparring top young fighters and he injured his elbow. He cannot fight like that, especially in a fight against Davis.”
Moeders, who has engaged in numerous memorable fights throughout his storied career, was seeking to move up in weight and looking to capture his fifth world title in a fourth weight class.
The event is promoted by Mayweather Promotions, TGB Promotions and Sampson Boxing.

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Wednesday in Las Vegas:
MANNY PACQUIAO
“I feel so blessed and happy because of the excitement around this fight. It’s come from the fans here in the U.S. and media all over the world. I want to go out there and make all the people happy.
“The knockout in my last fight felt good. It felt like my younger days against Ricky Hatton, Miguel Cotto en anderen. That fight was a big challenge for me to recover from the fight against Jeff Horn. People said that my career was done. But I never got discouraged, I just worked hard and made the knockout against Lucas Matthysse happen.
“These days I don’t only train my body, but also my mind. I’m a Senator, so my mind is very busy. I also play chess regularly and read books to keep my mind sharp.
“People writing me off after the Jeff Horn fight was good for me. I’m not mad at anyone who thought that. It just became a challenge and a test to me of whether or not I could still show my best.
“Being back here at MGM Grand makes me so happy. It’s an honor to be in this position. I remember my first fight here in the U.S. was at MGM Grand. I will never forget that moment and now I get to come back here and do it again.
“I know he is going to counter me but we’re ready for that. What happened in the Juan Manuel Marquez fight will not happen again. It was a mistake and I learned that mistake. We’ve worked on that in this training camp. I am prepared for Broner’s style.
“This is a challenge because it is my first fight as a 40-year-old. I have something to prove to everyone about what that means. Age is just a number. What matters is how you prepare and that you’re working hard.
“I don’t need to dislike my opponent to want a knockout. I’m just doing my job in the ring. Als de knock-out komt, het komt. We’re hoping to have that opportunity Saturday. I have to pressure him to make him open up. Wherever he goes, I’ll be there.
“I’ve always stayed disciplined throughout my years in boxing. I’m always making sure everything is in order and on point during my workouts. That plus cross-training with activities like basketball has helped me stay in this position all these years.”
ADRIEN BRONER
“I’m not up here to talk a lot of trash. I’ve put in the work. Het is vechten tijd. After I win, everything is going to be different.
“People are talking a lot about Pacquiao fighting Floyd Mayweather again, but I’m pretty sure Floyd is retired. I feel like people are trying to throw me to the wolves and overlook me.
“He doesn’t remind me of any past opponents just like I’m not going to remind him of anyone he’s fought. He’s never fought anyone like me. Every fighter has similarities, but truly every fighter is different. If I remind him of Floyd Mayweather, I hope his arm doesn’t hurt after this one.
“Look at my last five fights. I’ve fought world champion after world champion. I don’t duck any fights. I don’t care how many weight classes he’s won titles in.
“I’m not in awe of any fighter, especially Manny Pacquiao. I hope he’s in awe of me. I’m a one of a kind fighter too. I’ve made history in this sport.
“I just have to go out and win this fight, then everything is going to start going my way. zaterdag avond, Ik zal overwinnen. This is a defining moment in my career and it’s going to be one of the biggest nights of my life.
“Pacquiao hasn’t fought me so I’m not worried about what he says about me right now. He’s going to have a different outlook after he fights me Saturday night.
“I’m going to turn Las Vegas into a big block party after I win on Saturday night. It’s going to change my career.
“Manny Pacquiao has done a lot for the sport. I’m going to beat him up and have a drink with him afterward. I grew up in boxing and I know what’s going on. It’s a business, but don’t get it twisted, I’m going to dominate and win.
“This is going to be a hell of a fight. I’ve trained so hard and I want everyone to know that I play around a lot, but when that bell rings, I’m going to be ready. I didn’t come here to lose or lay down. I came here to get this victory. Real talk.”
BUBOY FERNANDEZ, Pacquiao’s Co-Trainer
“I’m very thankful to this great team that we have that has prepared Manny for this challenge. I know that we worked very hard for this. I cannot fly without wings, but I can bring the belt back to the Philippines.
“Manny has trained hard and we expect a good fight. This is the hardest I’ve seen him train and it will be seen in the ring Saturday night”
FREDDIE ROACH, Pacquiao’s Co-Trainer
“We’ve trained really hard for this fight. Manny is looking really good and is in tremendous shape. I’m sure Adrien is also because they’re both great fighters. I wish both men luck and may the best man win.”
KEVIN CUNNINGHAM, Broner’s Co-Trainer
“We’ve had a tremendous training camp. Adrien is ready to go. Everyone who knows me, knows that all I have in this world in my word, and I don’t break it for nobody. I’m giving you my word that Adrien will put on a spectacular performance on Saturday night.
“I’m guaranteeing that Adrien will send Manny back to the Senate, beltless, without the WBA title. I guarantee it.”
MIKE STAFFORD, Broner’s Co-Trainer
“Adrien came to me when he was 55 pounds and seven-years-old. He was an underdog then and he came back day after day. People thought he was a bad kid, but I told people that I saw something in him.
“Freddie Roach didn’t know who Adrien was years ago when we were getting ready to work with the Olympic team together. But he got to know Adrien, and on Saturday night, Manny is going to know him too. That’s for sure.”
JOE RAMOS, COO of Manny Pacquiao Promotions
“We are honored, humbled and proud to be a part of this amazing event. This will be Manny’s 20th fight in Las Vegas and we’ve been treated amazingly throughout the entire promotion. I’m thankful to all of Team Pacquiao for the work they do and helping make everything run smoothly.
“We all know that Adrien is ready and we expect nothing but the best from him and his team on Saturday night.
“MGM Grand is known for the lion, and Lenny the Lion is right there when you enter the building. Op zaterdagavond, Manny will show his heart of a lion for fans all over the world and prove once again that he’s the king of the jungle.”
LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO van Mayweather Promotions
“About three and a half years ago I sat here opposite this great legend in Manny Pacquiao. I’ve studied this man for many years and today he’s still one of the best welterweights in the world. He still has tremendous explosiveness and power, but more importantly the experience to beat any welterweight in the world.
“Pacquiao has been doing this for so many years that we forget how truly great this man is. He’s in a very comfortable position right now. He’s super motivated and thats what is going to make this a great fight on Saturday night.
“Coming into this fight we all know that there have been rumblings about what Adrien needs to do to win this fight. But what I’ve witnessed firsthand this entire promotion, is that this man has dedicated himself 100 procent. He’s done everything his coaches have asked of him and he’s exceeded those expectations.
“Adrien Broner is ready, gefocust, and he’s put in the work. He’s put himself in the best situation to be successful on Saturday night. I expect nothing less than a great virtuoso performance. He didn’t cut one corner this training camp. He wants to prove to everyone, that everything people have said about him can be thrown out the window. He’s coming to show the entire world what he’s all about.”
RAVONE Littlejohn, CEO of About Billions Promotions
“Adrien trained really hard for this fight. I’d like to thank Kevin Cunningham and Mike Stafford, they put together a great game plan. Adrien will be ready.
“There’s been a lot of talk from Pacquiao’s side about getting a knockout, but you’re the one getting knocked out. You’ve been knocked out, we haven’t.
“This our first time on this stage and in this position and it’s been very enjoyable. Adrien and I have put a lot into this over the last 10-15 jaar. We’re pulling for our guy 100 percent.”
STEPHEN ESPINOZA, President Sports & event Programming, Showtime Networks Inc.
“I’m not going to come up here and tell you all anything you don’t already know about Manny Pacquiao or Adrien Broner. These are two guys who have operated at the highest level of boxing for years. In Manny’s case, literally decades. But I will remind you of some things.
“Manny Pacquiao is a Hall of Famer, geen twijfel over. He’s a boxing legend who’s generous, humble and soft-spoken outside of the ring. But most of all, he takes tough fights. De laatste 20 opponents Pacquiao has had have been current, future or former world champions.
“Adrien Broner has faced nine world champions in 37 carrière gevechten. He’s obviously demonstrated himself as being an elite fighter. He’s flashy, flamboyant, sometimes outrageous, but he’s always unapologetically himself.
“On Saturday night, everything changes. Pacquiao is no longer soft-spoken and Broner is no longer fun-loving and outgoing. They transform themselves into two of the most athletically gifted and ferocious warriors in our sport. Above all these two guys have heart, which is the rarest thing in this sport.
“Between the two of them, they’ve won titles in 12 weight divisions. That’s the third most of all-time, trailing just Mayweather vs. Pacquiao and Pacquiao vs. De La Hoya.
“We know this is an elite fight and these fighters are in elite company. But on Saturday night, none of that matters. It’s not a contest of who has the best resume. This is a high level contest with high stakes between two of the most talented and athletically gifted fighters in the sport today. A win in this fight catapults each of these men to bigger things. It doesn’t get any more significant than that.”
RICHARD STORM, President of Entertainment and Sports for MGM Resorts International
“I’d like to welcome back Manny Pacquiao and Adrien Broner, two of the sport’s best fighters, back to Las Vegas and MGM Grand. Fans are always excited to watch these two fighters compete in the ring and we’re confident that Saturday’s event will kick off another exciting year of sports and entertainment programming for MGM Resorts.
“I’m thankful to all of the people who have helped make this fight happen here in Las Vegas. We look forward to seeing everyone at the MGM Grand Garden Arena Saturday night for this sensational event.”

LAS VEGAS(Januari 15, 2019) – With fight week underway in Las Vegas, former four-division world championAdrien “Het Probleem” Bronerhosted a media workout Monday before he battlesManny Pacquiaofor the World Boxing Association Welterweight World Title Saturday, Januari 19 in the main event of a SHOWTIME PPV®event from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Broner, samen met trainerKevin Cunningham, have been at Barry’s Boxing in Las Vegas finishing up training camp after spending most of camp in West Palm Beach, Florida preparing to face boxing’s only eight-division world champion in Pacquiao. Here is what they had to say Monday at Barry’s Boxing:
ADRIEN BRONER
“Every fighter is different, but I know if I touch him flush, I’ll put him out. It’s no secret, he’s been to sleep before.
“I’m in shape and ready to go. We had a tremendous training camp. I could have made weight weeks ago. We’re prepared to go out and execute.
“I’ve been here before, and even though I haven’t been in a fight of exactly this magnitude, I’m just treating it like any other fight. He’s another opponent.
“A lot of people are saying that Pacquiao’s age will be a factor, but I’m not looking at it like that. You see guys like Floyd Mayweather who stay undefeated at an older age. I’m just focused on being me. As long as I do what I have to do, Ik zal overwinnen.
“We’re ready for whatever this fight is going to end up being. It could definitely be a war. I’ve always been an underdog. I came from the trenches and I’m bringing that mentality into the ring.
“I can take over boxing with a win over Pacquiao. There are a lot of great fighters in this sport, but they just don’t bring what I bring to the table. With a win like this, it would put me right where I was always meant to be.
“I’ve always wanted to fight the big names like this and I knew that I just had to keep working hard and the time would come.
“Once that bell rings, I’ll make my adjustments and go ahead and get my victory. I don’t have anything I want to go out and prove. It’s just about winning. That will say everything.”
KEVIN CUNNINGHAM, Broner's Trainer
“Preparation has been great. Kamp is enorm. Adrien is ready to go and extremely focused for this fight. He came into camp that way and it’s stayed that way.
“We added some things this training camp, because we know he’s fighting a legendary fighter. This is one that he has to have and he realizes it. I expect a spectacular performance.
“I think on Saturday night that Adrien is going to be that guy that everyone expected him to be from day one. It will open a lot of eyes. I believe that we put the work in. I can’t see Adrien coming out of there without a victory.
“The key to victory is for Adrien to just be himself. He has to do what he does best with no hesitation. He’s going to throw the right punches at the right time.
“Pacquiao still throws combinations but they don’t come in as fast or as sharp as they used to. He can throw as many punches as he wants to throw, but if they’re not landing, it doesn’t mean anything.
“I think Adrien is the quicker fighter. Quickness offsets speed, all day, every day. It’s all about being quick enough to time the guy with your hand speed. It’s different than just throwing a bunch of fast punches.”

Bekijk de Haney KnockdownHIER
SHREVEPORT - Januari 12, 2019 - Devin Haney slaagde vrijdagavond voor de grootste test van zijn jonge carrièreShoBox: The New Generation, het starten van de 2019 boksjaar met een oogverblindende prestatie en unanieme beslissing overwinning op mede-ongeslagen voormalig Zuid-Afrikaanse kampioen Xolisani Ndongeni live op SHOWTIME van StageWorks of Louisiana.
Haney (21-0, 13 KO) scoorde een tweede ronde knockdown en droeg Ndongeni (25-1, 13 KO) neer met straffende body shots in het laatste deel van het gevecht door gemakkelijk te winnen op de scorekaarten van alle drie de juryleden, 100-89 tweemaal, en 99-90.Zie de knock-down van de tweede rondeHIER.
Haney vertelde Steve Farhood van SHOWTIME in de ring na het gevecht dat hij vanaf nu alleen als een kanshebber wil worden beschouwd. 'Ik wil die topmensen,"Hij zei. "Nu kunnen ze me echt niet meer ontkennen. Ik zeg dit al een hele tijd, maar nu, Ik ben een kanshebber. "Zie het interview na het gevechtHIER.
De knockdown kwam op 1:30 van de tweede ronde toen een Haney-rechterhand flush landde en de onevenwichtige Ndongeni op het canvas sloeg. Maar het waren Haney's lichaamsschoten die de koppige Ndongeni versleten, die voor de tweede keer in de Verenigde Staten vocht. Haney wilde het gevecht graag beëindigen met een knock-out, zelfs tegen zijn vader Bill Haney tussen de rondes door, "Ik ga hem knock-out slaan!"
"Hij is een geweldige vechter,”Zei Haney, die met de overwinning de WBO Intercontinental en WBC International banden mee naar huis neemt. "Je haalt het niet 25-0 zonder iemand te zijn. Ik wist vanaf het begin dat het een zware tegenstander zou worden. Hij is echt een goede vechter en ik heb hem niet gekozen. Dat was de tegenstander die kwam en je kent me, Ik wijs niemand af. Ik vecht tegen iedereen die voor me komt. "
Farhood zei 2019 zou het jaar kunnen zijn dat Haney vecht voor een wereldtitel. "Ik ben onder de indruk omdat hij een kant van zichzelf liet zien die we nog niet eerder hadden gezien,”Zei de International Boxing Hall of Famer Farhood. “Voor een jonge vechter, hoewel hij erg bekwaam is, je wilt hem zien omgaan met allerlei situaties. Hij ging effectief naar het lichaam en als het gevecht gaat 30 seconden langer krijgt hij de onderbreking. Is een wereldtitelgevecht in 2019 een mogelijkheid? Zeker. Gewoon omdat hij dat is 20 betekent niet dat hij niet goed genoeg is. Het is duidelijk dat er niemand is die hem uit de doos gaat halen. "
Farhood gaf Ndongeni uiteindelijk voor het eerst een ronde in de zevende omdat hij wat effectief lichaamswerk gebruikte om de ronde onder controle te houden, hoewel hij Haney nooit zichtbaar pijn deed of hem in te veel gevaar bracht.
Naarmate het gevecht dieper en dieper ging, Haney werd alleen maar sterker. In de laatste twee rondes, hij leidde 69-28 op algehele landende stoten (16-6 prikken en 53-22 vermogen). In de laatste minuut van de laatste ronde, Haney verliet Ndongeni 23-3 in totaal verbindt.
"Ik word sterker met elk gevecht en ik voel de kracht van mijn man naar voren komen,'Zei Haney. “Ndongeni is een zeer duurzame jager. Ik schrijf zijn grote hart toe omdat hij hem in de strijd heeft gehouden. Ik wist dat ik de superieure vechter was. Ik heb iedereen laten zien dat ik kan vechten als ik naar voren kom, Ik kan boksen, Ik kan knallen, Ik doe het allemaal. Ik ben klaar…niemand houdt me tegen. "
In een strijd van ongeslagen Rubens, voormalig ingerichte amateur Ruben Villa (15-0, 5 KO) overhandigde de Colombiaan Ruben Cervera (10-1, 9 KO) zijn eerste carrière-nederlaag scoorde een dominante unanieme beslissing, 80-72 op alle drie de scorekaarten in de acht-ronde vedergewicht co-feature wedstrijd.Zie gevechtshoogtepuntenHIER.
De 21-jarige tweevoudig Olympisch Nationaal Kampioen bij de Junioren en de 2014 en 2015 Nationale kampioen gouden handschoenen uit Salinas, Calif., Villa presteerde beter dan de langzamere maar vastberaden Cervera op weg naar een beslissende beslissingsoverwinning.
“Het voelde goed vechten op het grote podium en ik behaalde de overwinning tegen een zeer taaie ongeslagen vechter,”Zei de eenmalige Olympische alternatieve Villa. “Ik voelde dat ik het hele gevecht onder controle had met mijn superieure bokskwaliteiten. Ik ben klaar om naar het volgende niveau te gaan. Ik neem het op tegen iedereen, ongeacht wie ze zijn, Ik heb het gevoel dat ik het beste vedergewicht ter wereld ben. "
In de zesde ronde, Villa ging aan de slag met een sterke rechterhand en volgde met jabs en combinaties die Cevera leken te zoemen, die was out-landed op stoten in de ronde 35-5.
De prik was het belangrijkste wapen voor Villa terwijl hij leidde 105-23 in verbindt en houdt een 36 procent tot acht procent voordeel in jabnauwkeurigheid. Villa overschreed dubbele cijfers in jabs in elke ronde, behalve de eerste.
De linkse Villa zei dat een bezoek aan Riverside en tijd doorbrengen met de bekende opgeleide Robert Garcia zijn spel heeft geholpen. "Ik zal mezelf een 8 of 9 vanavond,"Hij zei. “Ik geloof in mijn snelheid. Ik weet dat er jongens zijn zoals [Abner] Merries en [Leeuw] Santa Cruz die mensen kennen, maar door Riverside te bezoeken, kan ik zien dat ik daar met iedereen kan instappen. "
Cevera werd de 182nd carrièrejager om zijn ongeslagen record op te verliezenShoBox. “Ik wist dat Ruben Villa een zeer snelle vechter was, want ik zag een video van hem, maar ik wist niet dat hij zo snel was,'Zei Cervera. "Hij is veel sneller als je hem in de ring ziet. Ik heb alles geprobeerd wat ik kon, maar ik was niet ver. Ik kon ze met een paar combinaties raken en hij voelde waarschijnlijk mijn kracht. Ik ben het niet oneens met de beslissing van de jury, hij was vanavond de betere man. "
In de uitzending opener, Cubaanse zwaargewicht Frank Sanchez (11-0, 9 KO) overwon een vertraging van 14 minuten tussen de eerste en tweede ronde door voormalig universiteitsvoetballer Willie Jake uit te schakelen, Jr. (8-2-1, 2 KO) bij 2:59 van de tweede ronde. Beide jagers zaten kalm op hun kruk terwijl lokale promotors werkten om twee van de touwen te repareren die van hun post waren gevallen.Zie gevechtshoogtepuntenHIER.

LAS VEGAS(Januari 10, 2019) – Former two-division world championBadou Jack hosted a media workout at Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas Thursday as he prepares to take on unbeaten top contenderMarcus Browne for the WBA Interim Light Heavyweight Title Saturday, Januari 19 on the Pacquiao vs. Broner SHOWTIME PPV® event from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas and presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

A resident of Las Vegas, Jack is preparing to fight in his adopted home city for the 11thtime as a pro on January 19. He will be making his third appearance on SHOWTIME PPV, having won a light heavyweight crown against Nathan Cleverly in August 2017 over de Mayweather vs. McGregor-evenement.
Here is what Jack, his trainer Lou Del Valle and Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe had to say Thursday:
JACK Badou
“I feel young and like I’m still improving. I take care of my body every day. Age won’t be a problem for me, it’ll be an advantage.
“I’m a confident fighter. I don’t need to talk and brag about everything. I’m just comfortable; binnen en buiten de ring.
“I’m battle-tested. I’ve been in there in tough fights. He hasn’t been tested like that, so we’ll have to see what he’s capable of when the pressure is on.
“Marcus Browne is an athletic and skilled fighter. But it’s a little different to fight on the prospect and contender level versus on this world class level.
“One of my biggest strengths in the ring is my ability to adjust. Mijn trainer, Lou Del Valle, has really helped in that regard. He’s been in there as a world champion like me on the big stage. He knows so much about boxing.
“This is nothing new to me. I’ve been on a lot of big cards, so this is a regular day on the job. It’s exciting as always and I can’t wait to put on a good show.
“I feel like it’s my duty to give back outside of the ring. With this platform that I have, why wouldn’t I? We should use this platform for something deeper than boxing.”
On the Pacquiao vs. Broner SHOWTIME PPV main event:
“It’s a really good fight. Pacquiao looked pretty good in his last fight, but Broner is very talented. Anything can happen in boxing, especially because Broner has a good chin and can fight. He just has to stay focused.”
LOU DEL VALLE, Jack’s Trainer
“Camp has been amazing. Every camp has just been better and better. He has improved on his weaknesses each time we work together. It’s incredible that a guy who’s 35-years-old can keep performing the way he is and still be getting better.
“We know that we have to be careful because Marcus is a good fighter. Everyone we fight at this level is quality. We’re only fighting champions and guys with the top pedigree. The better the fighter, the better we get.
“I don’t think that Marcus Browne wants to go the distance with Badou Jack. If you notice in previous fights, guys who fight Badou are not the same after. He takes a lot out of them and I think it’s going to happen again. Marcus is going to go for the early knockout, but we’re ready.
“The experience gap is a big difference. I had only fought one 10-rounder when I first fought for the title, but I still thought that I could beat him. The experience that Virgil Hill had over me was really difficult to overcome and I think you’ll see something similar play out in this fight.”
LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO van Mayweather Promotions
“I think that this is going to be a very competitive fight. You have two guys in this fight that are very hungry. There are a lot of options in the light heavyweight division, and it’s all about timing. This fight gives both guys a chance to prove that they want to be the best and make a great statement.
“This fight has a very good chance of stealing the show. I like the fact that Marcus is very confident. If you’re in a big fight, you have to be. Badou is even-keeled, and he comes with his workman-like approach to every fight.
“Experience is everything in big fights. It’s a big deal when you’re under those lights. Going the distance with top guys, and knowing how to break guys down, it all plays a big role in fights like this.”
