Association Welterweight World Title against Broner. Along with co-trainerBuboy
Fernandezand longtime trainer罗奇, Pacquiao
spoke to media and worked out for the cameras at Wild Card Boxing Club.
Broner traveled to Los Angeles from his
current training camp in Las Vegas to talk to media along with his trainerKevin
Cunninghamat Ten Goose Boxing Gym, after spending most of training in
West Palm Beach, 佛罗里达.
Here is what the media day participants
had to say from the split-site media day Wednesday:
曼尼·帕奎奥
“My journey in this sport is still
continuing. I’ve accomplished everything I’ve wanted to, but I also want to
continue to keep my name at the top. Even at 40-years-old, I can still show the
best of Manny Pacquiao. I’m going to give the fans the speed and power that
they’re used to seeing.
“I’m sure that Broner is focused on
this fight. They are working hard and I expect him to be in great condition. We
know how his trainer pushes him and has been pushing him in their training
camp.
“我不会掉以轻心地对待这场战斗. I
don’t listen to any gossip about Adrien Broner, I just focus on my training. I
want to be in 100 percent condition and ready for the fight on January 19.
“Adrien Broner is fast with his hands
and he’s overall a good boxer. This is a big challenge that I’m excited for.
“我, Freddie and Buboy know each
other well and we have a great coaching staff right now. I’m happy with how
everything has gone in training for this fight.
“Rest and recovery is definitely a
key part of training. Sometimes when I work hard in the gym, my body can’t
fully recover by the next day, so I’ve had to work more rest into the schedule.
But as soon as I can, I’m back in the gym working hard.
“一月 19 I’m going to do my
best. I can’t say a prediction, but I’m going to do the same thing I did for my
last fight. My trainers know how hard I’ve worked in this camp for this win.
“My plan is to take it one fight at a
time. I can’t talk about future fights until I do what I have to on January 19.
You can ask me again after this one.
“This fight means a lot. It’s my
first fight at the age of 40 so I’m excited to give my best and show the world
what I can still do. 拳击是我的激情, and public service is my mission. I
love to bring honor to my country.”
ADRIEN BRONER
“Growing up and seeing Pacquiao
fight, of course I always wanted to fight him. I’m a competitor.
One day I want to be the best, and to be the best you have to beat the
best. It starts here.
“This is my first PPV but I was
always supposed to be here. God doesn’t make mistakes. After this
victory, I will be taking over the sport of boxing. This is just the
beginning.
“His last fight he did stop
Matthysse, so I’m pretty sure he still has power. But I’m going to be
ready, I’m going to be ready for whatever he brings to the table. We’re
in shape to get it done, I can tell you that.
“This win makes me an icon.
It makes me what I always wanted to be, and what everybody always thought I
would be. A win here and I’m a legend overnight.
“It’s going to be a hell of a
fight. I just can’t wait till round one. Everybody I fight says
they are going to knock me out. That should be the objective of every
fighter, 但是这不会发生.
“天空是极限了我, but
in boxing you have to take it one fight at a time. You can’t overlook
anybody in this sport. My main focus is Manny Pacquiao and I will be ready.
“A win would mean a lot. It
turns a new page in my book. It’s another beginning. I’m already a
star in boxing, but a win here and I’m taking over the sport. This is
just the beginning.
“It’s not a mystery – he’s been
knocked out before. Not once, not twice, but three times. And he’s
been put down a lot, too. There are many blueprints to beat Manny.
I think I have all the tools to beat him. I will show all the tools in my
arsenal and show all the weaknesses in his.”
BUBOY 费尔南德斯, Pacquiao’s Co-Trainer
“I think it’s going to be a knockout.
If Broner opens the door, we’re going to get it early. I’ve seen from previous
fights that he’s a slow starter. So we need to get inside and go first.
“We know that Broner is a good
counter-puncher with a strong right uppercut. Broner is a real fighter and a
smart fighter in the ring.
“I’m happy that Manny has shown that
he moves as well as ever, even at 40-years-old. He’s learning even more now. I
told the team that I think he’s already prepared for this fight.
“We just want him to maintain this
shape and energy level. Manny is 110 ％的准备. I don’t think there’s a
fighter who can keep up with what Manny brings.”
罗奇, Pacquiao’s Co-Trainer
“我不能等待这场战斗. Camp
has been great and he’s been training very well. Everything is back to normal
and he’s looked amazing.
“Manny and I have been together 15
岁月, so I had no reason to ever be mad at Manny. Everything has worked out
really well and we’re working together as a team right now.
“I’m working on the game plan for
how to fight Broner. He’s a counterpuncher who doesn’t like to come forward too
much. Manny will have to be the aggressor in this fight and use his feints to
trap this guy into making it more of a fight.
“I feel we’re going to see an
aggressive Manny Pacquiao. There’s a rumor that Manny has been telling people
he’s looking for a knockout. I love that attitude. I think his knockout of
Lucas Matthysse was so satisfying and he saw that that’s what the fans really
want. I think that’s going to carry over to this fight.
“Pacquiao and I have a deal. Once
his work ethic drops, I’m going to tell him and he’s agreed he’ll retire. His
work ethic is unbelievable right now. He hasn’t slowed down at all. He hit me
with a shot in the chest two or three days ago, and I’ve never been hit harder
in my life.”
凯文·坎宁安, Broner的教练
“Everything went tremendous in
Florida. I’ve never seen Adrien this focused and I’ve been around him for
years. He came to camp with a look on his face like this is the one he’s got to
have. He prepared for nine hard weeks and we didn’t miss a beat. Everting was
on point.
“He’s ready. He’s focused. We had
tremendous sparring. 一切都很顺利. We didn’t have any hiccups, any
injuries or setbacks. He’s ready to go and he’s going to look spectacular on
January 19.
“Manny fights with a high punch
volume and he’s aggressive with it. But sometimes he’s reckless with it. Adrien
is a sharp counter-puncher. He gets off first and last. If Adrien comes to the
ring mentally sharp like I know he will, because physically he’s as sharp as
ever, as long as his mind is on point, I think it’s going to be a long night
for Manny and it’s the wrong fight for Manny.
“There’s a lot there to exploit. I
know Manny throws a lot of punches and Adrien doesn’t throw a lot, but this
fight is not about matching Manny’s punch count. This fight is about throwing
the right shots at the right time.
“There’s a big difference in Adrien
from the last camp. He didn’t take Jessie Vargas as seriously as he’s taking
this legendary eight-time world champion in Manny Pacquiao. There were some
things that went on that showed he wasn’t as focused as he is for a fight like
this. He’s just been on point. He’s not screwing around. He’s not looking for
days off to go have a good time. He’s just locked in on Manny Pacquiao.”

Of Three-Fight Telecast
住在 10 P.M. ET/PT
From Main Street Armory In Rochester, 纽约州.
纽约 - 一月 8, 2019 – Undefeated super middleweight prospect Ronald Ellis returns to的ShoBox: 新一代seeking a statement win against DeAndre Ware in the 10-round main event of a three-fight telecast on Friday, 二月 1 live on SHOWTIME from Main Street Armory in Rochester, 纽约州.

bout.
The 29-year-old Ellis, originally from Lynn, 质量。, returns for
his fourth的ShoBoxappearance as he seeks a statement win
following a controversial draw in his last outing on the series. The former
National Golden Gloves Gold Medalist out-boxed Junior Younan last February in a
fight many observers thought he deserved to win. Still undefeated, Ellis
returns as he looks to prove he has what it takes to turn from prospect to
contender.
“I need to make a statement,”埃利斯说, who upset highly
regarded Terrell Gausha to win the 2010 全国金手套. “The last time
I was on的ShoBox我抽到了平局. This is the perfect
opportunity for me to show I have what it takes. Ware won’t run – he comes at
you, he roughs you up, and he’ll be right there for me to hit. I know what I am
up against. 我一直在努力, training in different camps and
approaching this as the biggest fight of my life. I appreciate SHOWTIME for
giving me another opportunity to prove I’m ready for the big show.”
The fan-friendly Ware suffered the first loss of his career last
September in a close and entertaining brawl with Cem Kilic on的ShoBox. 该 2013 National
Golden Gloves Bronze Medalist will look to return to the win column as he faces

came last year over 2012 Olympian and previously undefeated prospect Enrique
Collazo. A former collegiate football player at the University of Toledo, Ware
also works fulltime as a firefighter in his hometown of Toledo.
“My last time out on的ShoBoxwas great, but unfortunately I didn’t
come out victorious,” Ware said. “This time I’m looking to come out with
my arm raised at the end of the fight. Ronald Ellis is a tough fighter, and I
commend and respect anyone who steps in that square circle. I know a win against
a tough, undefeated guy is what I need to get me on track to winning a world
title. I see big things happening for me after a win like this. The sky is the
limit after this win.”
The 20-year-old Yoon, who was born and raised in Honolulu, 去
100-11 as an amateur before turning professional in 2016. Gifted with one-punch
power, Yoon started his career with 10 straight knockouts before earning a
unanimous decision over former world champion Juan Carlos Salgado in just his
11日professional
fight. Yoon fought five times in 2018, and his level of opposition has steadily
increased as he has gained experience.
“This is a great opportunity to show the world what I
already know – that I’m one of the best young fighters in the game,” Yoon said.
“A win at this point of my career will open up new doors and will get me one
step closer to where I want to be. We’re studying our opponent and putting a
plan together for February 1. It will be my job to execute it.”
Zamora hails from Matehuala, San Luis Potosí, 墨西哥, where he
compiled an amateur record of 60 wins against just four losses. The 25-year-old
won the silver medal at the Mexican National Amateur Championships before
turning professional in 2012. Zamora has fought his entire career in Mexico and
will make his U.S. 亮相于二月 1. He has won five straight since a 2017
loss to Antonio Moran, who recently dropped a close decision to Jose
Pedraza.
“This will be my first fight in America and I’m thrilled that it
will be on的ShoBox,” Zamora
said. “I will win this for my parents that sacrificed a lot for me and for my
wife and son – I can’t let them down. I am coming to win and to show everybody
that Mexico will always produce proud champions.”
Born in Puerto Rico, the 24-year-old Nova fought as an amateur
in the U.S. where he compiled a stellar record of 167-11. 新星, who fights out
of Albany, 纽约州, 是否. 1 ranked 141-pound fighter in the United States
and won gold at the 2014 中美. National Boxing Championships. He turned
professional in 2016 shortly after losing a close decision in the Olympic
Trials to Gary Antuanne Russell. The hard-hitting super featherweight picked up
five wins in 2018 and will face just his second undefeated opponent on February
1.
“I’m looking forward to making my的ShoBoxdebut and the fact that it’s in
Upstate New York makes it even more special,” Nova said. “I’ll have many of my
friends, family and fans in attendance, so I plan on making a statement. You
don’t want to miss it.”
Wahab was born in Nigeria but fought as an amateur for Ghana,
where he was a three-time national amateur champion. He has fought his entire
professional career in Africa, where he has already been in five-scheduled 12
轮打斗. The 28-year-old Wahab is mentored by Ghanaian great Azumah
Nelson, who is widely considered the greatest African boxer of all time.

fighters, but Nova hasn’t seen a fighter like me yet,” Wahab said. “I’ll be
leaving New York undefeated.”

伦敦 (十二月 22, 2018) –Dillian Whyte delivered a Knockout of the Year candidate with a devastating left hook in the 11日round in a dramatic rematch of one of 2016’s best fights between two top-rated heavyweight contenders Saturday in London in a SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL telecast from The O2 Arena. 同赢, Whyte now has the inside track at a world title fight in 2019.视频: https://s.sho.com/2BDKBOP
Whyte (25-1, 18 科斯), who entered the fight holding the No. 1 ranking in the WBC and WBO, used a lethal left hook in the eleventh round to end the rematch, which was just as thrilling and memorable as the 2016 冲突, in dramatic style. The highly competitive, back-and-forth bout was evenly contested from the opening bell. Chisora (29-9, 21 科斯), who was perhaps the more aggressive fighter, was deducted two points, once for a low blow in the eighth round and once for an elbow in the 11日 圆. Despite the two-point deduction, Chisora was ahead on two scorecards, 95-94, at the time of the KO. Anthony Joshua, who called the fight ringside for Sky Sports, went face-to-face with Whyte following the bout.
“That left hook is my money shot. That shot is going to put a lot of people away,” said Whyte, whose only professional loss came to Joshua in 2015. “They can train for it as much as they want. I’ve been in deep waters and I can swim. I was in great shape. I wasn’t tired once, I was just pacing myself and I knew the knockout was going to come. Whoever wants it can get it. I want Joshua next! Let’s do this. Rematch!”
“Let’s forget about what’s happened in the past. We were at British level in our last fight and now we’re at world level,” replied Joshua, who holds the WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight titles. “It was a good fight back then but let’s see where we’re at right now. If anybody deserves a world title shot, I think it’s Dillian. Deontay Wilder is the target, but if it’s not him, it’s Dillian Whyte.”
Saturday’s SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL telecast will replay on Monday, 十二月 24 在 10 P.M. ET / PT在Showtime极端，将可在SHOWTIME ANYTIME® 和SHOWTIME ON DEMAND®.
The one-fight telecast from London was hosted by Brian Custer and Hall of Fame analyst Steve Farhood. Live fight coverage was provided by Sky Sports Box Office with Adam Smith calling the action and former world champion Carl Froch and Joshua providing expert analysis.
