Here’s what they both had to say:
Antonio Nieves
Everything went well in training. Potapov is a solid fighter but I believe giving him some movement and coming in from the side is really going to help me get the victory in this fight. Sono 100 per cento pronto. I’ve been focused on one guy the entire camp and I’m ready to get in there and get the win.
We tried to get sparring partners that imitate him as much as possible, so when I get in there with him, there’s no surprises, but basically, I’m just going to stick to what I know.
A victory means a lot. We’re two undefeated fighters on the verge of a world title shot. A victory over this guy would put me to the stage of being in line to fight for a world title, so this win means a lot.
Nikolay Potapov
I had a great training camp in Detroit at Kronk gym with Javan SugarHill Steward. It’s been a great learning experience for me. La formazione, intensity, sparring, living conditions have been superb.
This is the most important fight of my career. Antonio Nieves is a very skilled, high-level fighter. I am focused on making a statement on Marzo 10, and showing that I am one of the best bantamweights in the world.

Sugar Ray Leonard & DAVID DINKINS JR. MEDIA CONFERENCE CALL HIGHLIGHTS

“These are the type of fights that are going to bring boxing back to where it used to be.” – Sugar Ray Leonard

SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on CBS, presentato da Premier Boxing Champions,

Live in Primetime on CBS From Barclays Center in Brooklyn

NEW YORK (Marzo 1, 2017) – Boxing Hall of Famer and former undisputed welterweight world champion Sugar Ray Leonard e David Dinkins Jr., SHOWTIME Sports Senior Vice President and Executive Producer, hosted a media conference call il Mercoledì to discuss Leonard joining the CBS broadcast team for Sabato di welterweight unification between undefeated champions Keith Thurman and Danny Garcia. Stephen Espinoza, Executive Vice President and General Manger, SHOWTIME Sports, began the call with some opening remarks.

 

The SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on CBS, presentato da Premier Boxing Champions, broadcast will air live on CBS from 9-11 p.m. E/6-8 p.m. PT from Barclays Center in Brooklyn, la casa di Brooklyn boxe ™. The broadcast is presented by Premier Boxing Champions and produced by SHOWTIME Sports® for CBS Television, both divisions of the CBS Corporation.

 

Leonard will join the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING broadcast team il Sabato alongside host Brian Custer, play-by-play voice Mauro Ranallo, International Boxing Hall of Fame analyst Al Bernstein and Sports Emmy® Award-winning reporter Jim Gray.

 

A five-division titlist and one of the most decorated boxers of all-time, Leonard brings unique perspective to the broadcast booth having been in a similar situation to Thurman and Garcia more than 35 anni fa. Garcia, the WBC 147-pound titleholder, and Thurman, his WBA counterpart, will unify the exact same titles that Leonard (WBC) and fellow Hall of Famer Thomas Hearns (WBA) unified in their classic 1981 Fight of the Year.

 

Leonard made his professional boxing debut on CBS in 1977, less than one year after he won gold at the ‘76 Olympics in Montreal as part of what is considered the greatest American boxing team in Olympic history. Il Marzo 4 event will reunite Leonard with former CBS producer and current SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING Executive Producer Dinkins Jr.

 

Below is what the principals said Mercoledì on the conference call:

 

Sugar Ray Leonard

 

“I was telling David [Dinkins] oggi, this is the perfect matchup. Voglio dire, you have two incredible fighters, each one of them with their own style and confidence with Keith and Danny. What also raises an eye is the unification. That’s big time for any fighter. And if these fighters can live up to their expectations, I think it’s going to be a home run, without question.

 

“These are the type of fights that are going to bring boxing back to where it used to be. It’s going to require these type of fights, these type of individuals, these type of athletes, these type of potential super stars, to really change and make boxing what it used to be.”

 

On the importance of having these types of fights on network television and what it takes to bring the sport back to what it used to be…

“These two young men, these two champions, these undefeated fighters, they fit the mold. I talk to people all of the time about what fights they want to see and this is a fight that has star-quality to it.”

 

On the advantages of each fighter…

“I look at Keith, and I’ve been watching, over and over, tapes of his previous fight. Di nuovo, each of them bring something to the table. Keith Thurman, seems to me, a little more fundamentally sound than Danny Garcia. But Danny Garcia, has a neutralizer. One thing I think is a big factor for the actual fight itself, is that both guys are great champs and both of them could take punches. Così, Non lo so. Put it this way, I wouldn’t bet my house.

 

“I do favor Thurman because he just seems to be a little bit more poised and collected. He just seems to be that kind of guy. Prima di tutto, he would never give up. Nor would Danny. But I just lean… it’s just my gut that tells me that Keith is a little bit more solid than Danny.”

 

On Danny Garcia…

“He’s just a guy that has that internal fortitude. He has heart, big heart. And he doesn’t give in. I think he’s the kind of fighter, you know where people short-change him. But I look at him and he’s one of those fighters that, I don’t train – I never train at all – but he’s the kind of fighter that I would enjoy training. Because he deserves to be up there.”

 

On the importance of facing the best opponents possible

“That’s extremely important. Fortunatamente, I was in an era where there were just a lot of guys out there who were so talented. If given the chance they would prove to be champions.

 

I always thought that we had to continue to raise the bar as a fighter, as a champion, and continue to fight better and better competition. When I was fighting, I swear, I wanted to be the underdog -psychologically, spiritually and mentally, if I wasn’t challenged, if I wasn’t considered somewhat of an underdog, I couldn’t perform the way I normally would. It’s what would get me going.

 

“I have said this a number of times: This fight is going to be bigger and better than what we anticipate because of what is at stake.

 

“The advantage [for me] was the television network exposure, without question. I loved that. It pumped me up because I loved the exposure. I loved the attention. I loved the fights and that’s what also helped me to be the fighter that I became.

 

On what it’s like being ringside and broadcasting a unification welterweight fight much like the fights and titles he’s fought for…

“It is an out-of-body experience. It’s déjà vu. Like holy, Sono 60. It’s a kind of thing that is so special and it’s so rare of a unification it seems like. It speaks volumes to me as far as the significance of it. And these guys, Keith and Danny, they know it. They realize it.”

 

DAVID DINKINS JR.

 

“When we were discussing the upcoming Thurman-Garcia fight in our senior staff meeting, many of us longtime fight fans thought about Ray’s first fight with Thomas Hearns and the many parallels there with Danny Garcia and Keith Thurman. You have two undefeated fighters and two titlists who have been on a path toward each other since Danny moved up from being a unified champion at super lightweight and moved into the welterweight ranks and gained a world title at 147 libbre.

 

“Ray and Tommy were two stars who it just seemed inevitable that they would fight. We feel the same way about Keith and Danny. You have two undefeated champions and it’s inevitable that they would meet and declare who would be the No. 1 combattente a 147 libbre.

 

I’m so happy that Ray can join us for this telecast and he and I have discussed over the past few days the many similarities between his circumstance during the Golden Era of Boxing when he had rivals like [Roberto] Duran, Hearns and [Wilfred] Benitez at 147 libbre.

 

To make the situation even sweeter it reunites myself and Ray after we had worked together years ago at CBS. He along with Tim Ryan e Gil Clancy formed a very entertaining announce team. Ray was in and out of retirement at that point. So his full-time, part-time job up at CBS was terrific fun. We got to see some great fights and work together. And now he joins Mauro Ranallo and Al Bernstein, who is also a Hall of Famer just like Ray is, ringside this prossimo Sabato. It’s just incredible great fortune that Ray was available to join us and be a significant contributor il Sabato."

 

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Executive Vice President e General Manager, SHOWTIME Sports

 

“SHOWTIME continues to deliver the strongest lineup of any network in boxing. We are delivering the biggest and most meaningful fights and delivering to the largest possible audience. With none on pay-per-view.

 

Questo Sabato SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING will present the most anticipated fight of the year live on America’s most watched network, CBS. Danny Garcia versus Keith Thurman is without question the best fighting the best. They are two undefeated champions with a combined record of 60 wins and zero losses and squaring off in the prime of their careers to determine who the top dog is in boxing’s marquee division.

 

SHOWTIME has really made it our mission to televise the top-rated champions against the top-rated challengers in boxing’s most compelling weight classes.

 

“The fans have taken note, and the momentum continues to rise. Adrien Broner e Adrian Granados fought a close fight two weeks ago that was our most watched main event in due anni.

 

This is just the second primetime fight on CBS in nearly 40 years since Ali-Spinks in 1978. We are grateful to our colleagues at CBS who are helping to deliver this important event for boxing.

The first women’s boxing main event to be featured on premium television, Shields’ history making fight will be a six-round battle againstHungary’s Szilvia “Sunset” Szabados (15-8, 6 KO) per la Women’s NABF Middleweight Championship.

Nella co-optional attacco, Potapov, currently training at the Kronk Gym, will challenge Cleveland’s Antonio Nieves (17-0-2, 9 KO) in a 10-round fight for his NABO Bantamweight Championship.

In the eight-round televised bantamweight opener, Detroit-based bantamweight prospect James Smith (11-0, 6 KO) will take on Chicago’s Joshua Greer, Jr. (11-1-1, 4 KO). In the other eight-round televised bout of the exciting quadrupleheader, welter Wesley Tucker (13-0, 8 KO) Toledo, Ohio, faces Detroit’s Ed Williams (12-1-1, 4 KO).

Qui di seguito è quello che i combattenti avevano da dire:

Claressa Shields:

“I made history in the amateurs, so it’s very special to me to be making history in the pros too and also doing it so close to home in Detroit.

“For this fight, I did more road work and also worked hard on my fundamentals. With my coach, Jason Crutchfield, in my corner he knows my weaknesses and strong points, so we are strengthening all weaknesses.

“I know that Szabados has a lot of body endurance and a ‘no quit’ mindset in the ring. She has a lot more professional experience than me and is a huge step up for me, as it is only my second professional fight.

“With my reputation and name steady rising and me getting a lot of notoriety, I have really just been handling it by taking a few deep breaths and just not allowing myself to get too excited. When I think about Marzo 10, I just wanna jump up and down!

“When I was an amateur, I followed women’s professional boxing the best I could. I thought a lot of women weren’t given equal opportunity. I told myself that for women’s boxing to grow, I’d have to go pro after winning the Olympics again. I felt in my heart that I would be respected and given a chance. I take advantage of every opportunity, so as of now, I feel women’s boxing is a sport that is going to be around for a long time.”

Nikolay Potapov:

“Nieves is good fighter, and he’s ranked in the top 10. I want to fight the best available in my division. A win over Nieves would be huge for my career and would hopefully lead to a shot at a title in the near future. I can’t lose on Marzo 10.

“I trained hard to go the distance of 10 round, but Kronk’s philosophy is not to leave it in the hands of the judges.

“I am thankful to Showtime and Salita Promotions for giving me another opportunity to fight on such a prestigious network. I am focused on bringing home the victory after spending time in Detroit training at the legendary Kronk Gym. "

TEMECULA, Calif. (Febbraio. 24, 2017) – Justin “L'eletto” DeLoach scored a shocking upset over Chris “Il giovane re” Pearson in a second-round knockout victory il Venerdì in caso principale ShoBox: La nuova generazione on SHOWTIME in front of a sellout crowd from Pechanga Resort & Casino di Temecula.
DeLoach, (17-1, 9 KO), di Augusta, Ga. continued his impressive winning streak with his seventh straight victory as he claimed the vacant USBA super welterweight title with the win, knocking out Pearson (14-2, 10 KO, WSB 3-0, 1 KO) a 2:30 del secondo turno.
Pearson, who trains in Las Vegas and fights out of Dayton, Ohio, was first knocked down after DeLoach threw a strong left hook that caught Pearson sideways and dropped him to the canvas with one minute to go in Round 2.
DeLoach didn’t let up, going after the hurting Pearson with a flurry of combinations sending him down again on a straight up right hand and leaving Pearson on his knees for the entire 10-second count.
I’m not surprised that it happened so quickly,” DeLoach said. “We had a strategy and we stuck to it. Hard work pays off and that was proof. I didn’t think I was an underdog, but I understand the whole thing of psychological warfare. I always go into the ring like I am on top no matter what.
The southpaw Pearson, who was appearing on ShoBox for third time, never got going and landed just one body punch in the short fight connecting on just nine percent of his total punches (four of 43) rispetto a 32 percent for DeLoach (29 di 92).
Pearson seemed a step slower from the start and DeLoach came forward,” suddetto ShoBox analista esperto Steve Farhood, who later called the DeLoach win a shocker. “Wow. Even if you liked DeLoach to win this fight, you are surprised it happened this soon.
He later added: “I thought it was going to be a distance fight. Pearson never recovered from his loss to Eric Walker. DeLoach continues to surprise. This is his fourth consecutive major win and now I believe he’s a contender at 154 pounds-maybe one or two fights away from a world title fight.
The bout was originally scheduled for last September before Pearson was forced to withdraw due to an injury suffered in training.
I felt lackluster,” Pearson said. “He came out and he was explosive, he was busy. He didn’t do anything I didn’t expect. Things happened the way they did, and you gotta take the good with the bad. He hit me in the eye which got me a bit disoriented. He fought like I thought he would, he did what he had to do. His performance didn’t surprise me.
DeLoach was clearly overcome with emotion as he reflected on his huge victory. “Mi sento benissimo,” DeLoach said. “I am emotional right now. I come from a small city and my mom is here and she’s in tears. Seeing my mom and my family here, I am just proud.
In the co-main event of the evening, undefeated up-and-coming prospect Saul “Neno” Rodriguez (21-0-1, 15 KO) of nearby Riverside won a split decision treating the hometown fans to a close outcome against a tough and game Oscar “Macchina” Ben Fatto (22-7, 10 KO) in una battaglia leggero 10 round.
Giudice Carla Caiz scored it 95-94 for Rodriguez; Tony Crebs 95-94 for Bravo and Jerry Cantu 97-92 in favor of the still undefeated Rodriguez, who had never been past eight rounds before Sabato notte, and also was knocked down for the first time in his career in the fifth round.
I was pretty happy with my performance, but I know there are a few things I need to work on and really just stay focused,” Rodriguez said. “When you’re fighting a wild opponent like Bravo, it gets tough, he head-butted me a few times which affected my visual, but I didn’t let his wild style interrupt my plan.
I was definitely going for the KO throughout the night, but I was still boxing with him. I just gotta go back in the gym and continue developing as a fighter, I am just happy to bring the win home to my hometown and my home stable [Promozioni Mayweather].”
A straight right hand by Bravo dropped the 23-year-old Rodriguez for the first time in his career with 1:50 left in the fifth round giving Bravo a huge 10-8 round. In the sixth round Bravo, 29, was again impressive and was able to effectively get inside against Rodriguez and land several powerful combinations.
Going into the final round, the two were almost equal in number of punches thrown and number of punches connected. Rodriguez was a bit more active in the end, collegamento su 33 per cento dei suoi pugni (174 di 522) rispetto a 31 percent for Bravo (155 di 497).
In apertura trasmissione televisiva, undefeated cruiserweight Altroin “La Bestia” Tabiti (14-0, 12 KO) di Chicago, Ill., out-worked and out-classed the previously undefeated QuantisThe Grim Reaper” Graves (11-1-2, 4 KO) di Beaumont, Texas, scoring a technical knockout after six rounds.
The 27-year-old Tabiti was simply too skilled and powerful for the out-manned 34-year-old Graves, who was fighting for just the second time in the past 27 mesi.
Near the end of the fourth round Tabitifighting for the second time on ShoBoxunleashed a series of powerful combinations that all but ended the fight putting the visibly hurt Graves against the ropes before he was saved by the bell.
Al sesto turno, Tabiti hurt Graves again leaving him back-pedaling and finally sending him to the canvas for the first time in his professional career with a brutal body shot. Graves never made it out for the seventh round as he and his corner threw in the towel in between rounds. The referee, Ray Corona, signaled the end of the fight.
As soon as I got in the ring, I knew it was game over for him,” Tabiti said. “Figuring out his game plan was easy money. The only thing I feel I could have done better was get him out of the fight quicker. He was talking a lot before the fight, but I didn’t let that get in my head I just came out and did what I was supposed to do.
Graves connected on only three body punches on the night, rispetto a 29 for Tabiti, che sbarcò 43 per cento dei suoi pugni totale, rispetto ad appena 11 percent for Graves, che era il 159th fighter to lose his undefeated record on ShoBox.
Tabiti is very fast,” Graves said. “Faccio boxe per 19 years and I’ve never fought anyone as fast as him. Non ho scuse. It is okay. Tabiti was cocky before the fight and humble after. He just needs to keep working hard and perfect his skills.
L'evento è stato promosso da Promozioni Mayweather e Promozioni TGB, and was witnessed by all-time great and Mayweather Promotions President Floyd Mayweather, who celebrated his 40th compleanno il Venerdì and was interviewed by Farhood on the telecast before the Rodriguez-Bravo fight.
Di venerdì three-fight telecast will re-air Lunedi, Febbraio. 27 a 10 p.m. E/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME ON DEMAND beginning Feb. 25.

Considerazioni finali

Chris Pearson

 

On fighting Justin DeLoach…

“I have had my back against the wall before. I know how it feels. I perform at my best when I have my back against the wall. I know he’s a talented fighter and that he has power in both hands, but I also know that he looks shaky when he gets cracked. He’s an athletic guy, he’s fast and moves well, but I’m the more skillful fighter.

 

“DeLoach makes a lot of mistakes in the ring. I’m going to take advantage of that. He’s never been against a guy like me. He won’t pass through me. I’m simply the better fighter here.

 

“I have the better jab and I have the pedigree. I’m disciplined and patient. You’ll see domani notte, DeLoach is in for a surprise. The only way this kid beats me is if I’m going with the wrong strategy, but I know I won’t. As far as skill for skill, I know I’m at a different level.”

 

On training camp…

“I’ve been in camp since April last year—almost a year. I’m not concerned in the very least about making weight. I woke up this morning at 152 libbre. I learned from my mistakes. Every fight that I’ve looked mediocre it’s been because I kill myself making the weight.”

On his loss against Eric Walker…

“I struggled to make weight for my fight against Walker. I had to lose 20 libbre in 10 giorni. I waited until the last minute to make weight and I paid the price. Non avevo le gambe. I had him in the position I wanted him, but I had no energy to close the deal. I couldn’t deliver. I lost that fight on the scale. I learned my lesson. It won’t happen again.”

Su domani night’s matchup…

“I don’t think it’s going to be a boxing match for long. Once one of us gets comfortable with the range and believe we have the advantage, we are going to start opening up more. If he comes up a little hotter, I believe my skills are going to dictate the pace and make adjustments as we go. Boxing is the sweet science but is not rocket science. You get in there and you find the advantage. You do what you have to do, adjust and get the win.”

Justin DeLoach

On working with his new trainer, Lucius Robinson…

“I had some differences with my previous trainer [Paul Williams]. I wanted more of the mental side of training, not only the physical. We just had different philosophies so I decided to change trainers.

 

“I’m training with Lucius Robinson now and it’s a big change—psychologically and philosophically. I’m really breaking down what I’m doing in the ring. I’m not just going in there to fight. As a young fighter you get in the ring and you just fight, but you have to do more than that. I’m learning how to use my head in the ring. When I’m hitting you, I know why I’m hitting you, where I’m hitting you. I know what I’m going to do.

 

“Learning the mental side of my sport really took me to another level. Anybody can get in there and get knocked out—that’s why I had my first loss—but who can really go in there and do what Floyd does? Break an opponent down in the later rounds. Master the sweet science. That’s the biggest change I had in my career, to learn the mental side of the sport.”

 

On his last three fights…

“I fought three undefeated prospect last year and I beat them. Ho combattuto Junior Castillo who has power in both hands. I went in there, I did my thing and I outclassed him. I got the knockout over Dillon Cook poi Dominique Dolton, who is a respectable opponent. I had a heck of a year.”

On his fight against Dominique Dolton…

“It was something that came together last minute. I was supposed to fight Chris Pearson but he got injured. I really appreciate the opportunity of fighting Dolton because a lot of up-and-comers don’t have the opportunity to fight a guy like that. Dolton was like a championship fight for me. He taught me a lot and took me to a whole different level. He was a replacement opponent, and my God, he’s a hell of a fighter.”

 

On his KO over Dillon Cook on ShoBox…

“It’s funny. I’m more of a boxer than a puncher. I don’t look for the knockout. I like to box. I think of myself as a boxer-puncher. I feel my opponents don’t usually know how much power I have. They underestimate me and I’m OK with that. My power catches them off balance.”

On fighting a southpaw…

“When you fight a southpaw, there are only two people you can study: Floyd Mayweather e Roy Jones Jr. If you watch tape on them you can learn a lot. It can help you develop your skills. I did my homework. I know exactly what I’m going to do domani."

 

On making weight…

“I never had a problem making weight. My body feels good. When I was with Ronnie Shields at the beginning of my career, I learned that if I take care of my weight early on, you can concentrate on training for the fight. Così, that’s what I do. I make weight early and then I train hand to fight my opponent.”

 

Saul Rodriguez

 

Su domani fight against Oscar Bravo…

“I want to look good. If I focus on dictating the pace for this fight, the knockout will come. My punches will keep on coming and I eventually will get some damage done. I’ll drop him and then, I’ll stop him.

 

“I always look for the knockout. It’s just more satisfying for me. I like KOs, but I’ll be patient. I feel that Bravo is tailor-made for me. Non è mai stato fermato. So I want to stop him. Non prendere me sbagliato, I won’t be reckless. But if he’s there for me to punch, I’ll punch him and I’ll go for the knockout.”

 

On changing promoters…

“Top Rank wanted to sign me again, but it was my decision to leave. I felt I was not treated well. I felt that I wasn’t getting the opportunities I deserved. So I decided to sign with Floyd, and here I am, fighting on SHOWTIME. It was a good move.”

 

On sparring with Mikey Garcia…

“I’ve sparred with Mikey Garcia for years. He got me ready for almost every professional fight I’ve had. I would say we’ve sparred over 100 round. Ho imparato così tanto da lui. I think that having him as a sparring partner it’s been a difference maker for me. It’s made me a better fighter.”

On what’s next…

“I’m going to get a title at 130 first and then I’ll move up in weight. I’d like to fight Miguel Berchelt—the guy that just beat Vargas. Gervonta Davis is at that weight too. I’ll meet him down the road. I’m more interested in unifying. I want to get the WBC title and then I want to go for the IBF.”

 

Oscar Bravo

On training camp…

“I’ve been training in Floyd’s gym in Vegas. We were in training camp for a while. Penso che 135 is my best weight to fight at.”

 

Sul suo avversario, Saul Rodriguez…

"E 'un buon combattente. He’s a young fighter and hasn’t been in the gym with the experienced fighters like I have. He throws wild punches. Se lo fa, I will make him pay.”

 

On what’s next…

“I want to be a world champion someday. I’ve never had this much time to prepare for a fight, so you’re going to see a different fighter this time. I’m confident and feel like this fight is going to change my life.

 

“My dream was to become Chilean champion and I did. I always took last minute fights with two weeks’ notice and went the distance.”

 

Andrew Tabiti

 

On his performance against Keith Tapia…

“I kept my composure. I thought I was sharp. A lot of people didn’t think I was going to beat Tapia, but I did. Styles make fights and we were matched perfectly. Since Tapia, I’m much better. He was high energy and moved a lot. He threw me off of my style at first, but I adjusted.”

 

Sul suo avversario, Quantis Graves…

“I watched some tape on him. He’s flat-footed and stays stationary. I know what he has to offer. I can adjust well. I got a good jab, a great body punch.”

 

On what’s next…

“I’d love a world title shot, but I’m going to stay patient. I’m still at Floyd’s gym and working hard. I want to be a heavyweight someday. I’d like to stay more active and fight more.

 

“If things go well, I’d like a title shot later this year. There are not a lot of American boxers in my weight class. I’d like to fight Shumenov Beibu. That’s who I want.

 

“I’d like to move to heavyweight later in my career.”

 

Quantis Graves

 

On his matchup domani night…

“I plan on beating Andrew Tabiti domani notte. I’ve prepared for this. We’ve done everything. I’ve been prepared for this fight mentally. I’ve never been 100 percent for a fight, except for this one.

 

“I’m not worrying about Tabiti. Tabiti is worried about me. He has the title to lose. That’s how I feel about it. I’ve seen his YouTube videos, and I’ve seen the mistakes he’s made. And I’m going to capitalize on those mistakes.

 

“I’m not just fighting Tabiti, I’m fighting TMT. I’m fighting Floyd. I’m taking this fight very seriously.”

 

Sul suo avversario, Andrew Tabiti…

“Everybody can look good when you fight guys that can’t fight. His last opponent, [Keith] Tapia was good. But who else has he fought?

 

“I have everything to gain, nothing to lose. Ho fame. I’m not a pampered, spoiled guy. I have nobody buying me cars. I have a car note, a house note, two kids and another one on the way. Ho fame. I have everything to lose…I’m going to do what I have to do.”

On his pro career…

“I had a great amateur career. I had some stops and starts. I had issues when I didn’t get signed with a promoter coming out of the Olympic trials and that stalled my pro career a bit. My professional career started off slow. I’m not as active as I would have liked to be but I’m a young 34. I’ve never taken a beating. I fought five times and 2014, and twice in 2015 and last year, no fights. I live a clean life and don’t drink or don’t smoke. I just train. Every day.”

Ivan Baranchyk - È lui il prossimo Arturo Gatti?

 

Baranchak Gatti.png

Miami, OK (Febbraio 14, 2017) – Di Venerdì, Febbraio 10, gli appassionati di boxe sono stati trattati per una lotta dell'anno candidato tra i pesi welter junior Ivan "The Beast" Baranchyk di Brooklyn, Abel Ramos di New York e Arizona. L'incontro ha avuto luogo al Buffalo Run Casino nell'evento principale di ShoBox: La nuova generazione. È stata una lotta significativa per entrambi i combattenti, con Baranchyk che cercava di salire più in alto nella scala mentre Ramos sperava di diventare un giocatore in 140 libbre eliminando il suo stimato nemico.

 

Quando è stato annunciato il matchup, Baranchyk e Ramos avrebbero dovuto organizzare una divertente lotta. Ciò che alla fine è emerso, tuttavia, ha superato di gran lunga le aspettative.

 

Per dieci round, Baranchyk e Ramos hanno avuto la folla in grado di tifare per l'incredibile azione. Entrambi gli uomini hanno colpito la tela e sono rimasti gravemente feriti in diversi punti della lotta, scambiare pugni a un ritmo frenetico. Hanno sanguinato, ha litigato e ha lasciato tutto sul ring in una lotta che è stata tra le più grandi di ShoBox 17 anno di storia.

 

I punteggi sono stati 99-91, 97-92 e 97-93 per Baranchyk, che è 14-0 con 10 ko. Ramos, le cui azioni sono aumentate enormemente con la sconfitta, è 17-2-2 (12 KO).

 

Le statistiche di CompuBox erano simili alla prima resa dei conti tra Arturo Gatti e Mickey Ward. Baranchyk e Ramos si unirono per atterrare 664 pugni totali e 482 colpi di potenza. Gatti-Ward ne ho visti in totale 618 si collega con 521 essere pugni di potere.

 

"Credo che questa debba essere la migliore battaglia nella storia di ShoBox,"Esclamò il promotore di Baranchyk Tony Holden, che lo promuove insieme a DiBella Entertainment e Fight Promotions Inc. “Ivan è un gradito spettatore naturale. Ha il cuore più grande della boxe e un condizionamento incredibile. Come abbiamo visto molte volte dalla fine, great Arturo Gatti, Ivan è stato ferito, insanguinato e ha preso molti pugni ma la sua volontà lo ha portato alla vittoria. Credo che potrebbe diventare il prossimo Arturo Gatti ma c'è ancora del lavoro da fare.”

 

Lou DiBella, che ha promosso il suddetto Ward, ritiene che Baranchyk sia la più recente star d'azione della boxe.

 

"Abbiamo ottenuto statistiche da CompuBox ed erano quasi identiche a Gatti-Ward 1 e Corrales-Castillo 1, due dei più grandi combattimenti nella storia della boxe. Baranchyk e Ramos hanno litigato per secoli e penso che il confronto con Gatti-Ward sia buono. La mentalità offensiva di Ivan e la volontà di prendere e dare punizione ricorda Arturo Gatti. Ha già dimostrato di poter ottenere una folla dietro di sé e questo è stato dimostrato dalla rapidità con cui i fan a Miami, OK lo ha adottato come se fosse uno di loro. Penso davvero che possa diventare il bielorusso Gatti ".
