Doheny in 2019, and eventually lost the belts via a narrow decision against Murodjon Akhmadaliev.

Here is what Román had to say about his training camp, his matchup Saturday and more:

On his recent training camp:
“The final days of camp are wrapping up now before we head to the bubble. Mint mindig, the sparring we got was top notch. My coach Eddie González and I have relentlessly been working every day to get me in the best shape of my life. These last two months have been demanding, but I know all the hard work will all pay off on fight night.”

On fighting in Southern California on SHOWTIME:
“Everyone knows Southern California is a breeding ground for boxers and the fans always show support for their hometown fighters. SHOWTIME has had some tremendous fights showcased out here and I plan to keep that tradition going strong. I plan to put on an entertaining fight for the fans by being explosive with my effort.”

On his matchup with Ricardo Espinoza Franco:
“This is not going to be an easy fight because I know my opponent is a tough fighter from Tijuana who is coming with everything he’s got. He’s got a lot of power, so I must be smart on how I throw my combinations. I believe my experience in big fights is going to be the difference on May 15. I’m expecting a rough fight and I’m ready for an intense battle.”

On his quest to become a world champion once again:
“Everything I do in boxing from here on out is to regain my status as a world champion. I’ll do whatever it takes to put me back in that position. A victory on May 15 will get me one step closer to that goal. I know in my heart I will become a world champion once again.”

Jean Pascal vs. Badou Jack and Jarrett Hurd vs. Luis Arias Also on Tap for Event at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens

Több, Former NFL Star Chad Johnson Makes His Boxing Debut in an Exhibition Fight

NEW YORK - (Május 6, 2021) – All-time boxing great and 2020 Nemzetközi Boxing Hall of Fame induló Floyd "Money" Mayweather will make his return to the ring as the undefeated, 12-idő, five-division world champion squares off in an exhibition bout against social media sensation and pro boxer Logan “The Maverick” Paul, headlining a blockbuster SHOWTIME PPV event on Sunday, Június 6. The anticipated clash pits superstars from two different worlds in a must-see showdown for sports and entertainment fans around the globe.

The event is presented by Mayweather Promotions, Fanmio and Mavathltcs and will take place at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. The pay-per-view event also will feature a pair of intriguing professional boxing showdowns, as WBA Light Heavyweight Champion Jean Pascal és két-részleg világbajnok Badou Jack meet in a 12-round rematch in the co-main event. Több, former unified super welterweight champion “Swift” Jarrett Hurd visszatér a ringbe, hogy szembenézzen Luis Arias egy 10 körös viadal.

In a fourth PPV bout, former NFL star wide receiver Chad Johnson will make his boxing debut in an exhibition match against an opponent to be announced. After years of off-season training with Mayweather in Las Vegas, the man once named Chad Ochocinco will test his skills in the boxing ring and bring his unique brand of fan-friendly entertainment to the star-studded event.

The pay-per-view telecast will begin live at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT on Sunday, Június 6. Tickets for the live event at Hard Rock Stadium will go on sale next week with additional details regarding tickets and the pay-per-view telecast to be announced shortly.

Mayweather, who was elected to the International Boxing Hall of Fame’s Class of 2020, egy tökéletes 50-0 rekord 27 kiütéssel. He racked up 12 world titles in five weight divisions during his illustrious career that spanned three decades. His brilliant boxing resume includes 24 wins over world champions, including Manny Pacquiao, Oscar De La Hoya and Canelo Alvarez. Pályafutása során, he was named the world’s highest paid athlete multiple times by Forbes, Szerencse és Sports Illustrated. Mayweather has accumulated numerous “Fighter of the Year” awards, köztük öt ESPY Awards és két Boxing Writers Association of America Awards. His 2015 showdown with Pacquiao shattered the all-time pay-per-view television record with 4.6 million buys, a record that still stands. Mayweather last fought in a boxing exhibition on New Year’s Eve 2018 Japánban. His last professional boxing match was his 2017 stoppage win over Conor McGregor, the second biggest pay-per-view event in television history.

As Mayweather dominated boxing en route to a perfect professional record and international stardom, Paul rose to fame on the internet. Paul, 26, welcomed the world into his life on various social media platforms including YouTube, where he has amassed more than 20 million subscribers. His legions of devoted fans supported him as he stepped into professional boxing in 2019 and sold out the STAPLES Center in Los Angeles in his six-round debut against fellow YouTube star KSI. The Ohio native is a former high school wrestling standout and has been training for more than two years. Most, he readies himself to face an undefeated boxing legend. While Paul stands six inches taller than Mayweather and owns an 18-year age advantage, the social media sensation will be challenging the best boxer of his generation, in his arena.

Pascal (35-6-1, 20 KO) earned a narrow split-decision victory over Jack in their December 2019 title showdown that saw both men hit the canvas. Prior to that fight, Pascal captured his interim title by handing Marcus Browne the first defeat of his professional career. Pascal scored four knockdowns in that fight, eventually earning a close technical decision when a cut suffered by Browne on an accidental head butt stopped the fight after eight rounds. The 38-year-old has been in the ring with the top fighters of his era during his brilliant career, including Bernard Hopkins, Sergey Kovalev, Carl Froch, Lucian Bute, and Chad Dawson. Pascal, who was born in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti and now lives in Laval, Quebec, won his first light heavyweight world title with a unanimous decision over Adrian Diaconu in 2009.

Jack (22-3-3, 13 KO) will look to avenge the razor-thin defeat he suffered to Pascal in their first match. Jack mounted an impressive rally on the scorecards that nearly turned the match in his favor. Born in Stockholm, Jack (who represented his father’s home country of Gambia in the 2008 Olimpia) now lives in Las Vegas. Jack won the 168-pound world title with a majority decision against Anthony Dirrell in 2015 and successfully defended the belt three times before being handed a hard-fought majority draw against James DeGale in one of 2017’s best fights. In his first bout at 175 font, Jack stopped Nathan Cleverly to pick up the WBA light heavyweight title before fighting to a majority draw against then WBC champion Adonis Stevenson in May 2018. Az ő legújabb kirándulást, Jack won a unanimous decision over Blake McKernan in November 2020.

The 30-year-old Hurd (24-1, 16 KO) unified the WBA and IBF 154-pound titles in 2018, dropping longtime champion Erislandy Lara in the final round to win a close decision in a fight that was the unanimous 2018 Fight of the Year. The Accokeek, Maryland native lost the titles in one of 2019’s best fights, dropping a decision to Julian Williams. Hurd first became champion in February 2017 when he stopped former champion Tony Harrison in the ninth round, before going on to defend the title against another former champion in Austin Trout. Legutóbb, Hurd scored a unanimous decision victory over Francisco Santana in January 2020.

Born in Milwaukee, Arias (18-2-1, 9 KO) will return to the ring for the first time since August 2019 when he takes on Hurd on June 6. The 30-year-old has faced some of the best in the middleweight division, including going the distance with former middleweight champion Daniel Jacobs in a 2017 duel. Arias racked up wins in his first 18 pro fights after turning pro in 2012 and is now training in Las Vegas as he prepares for this fight.

The winner of this fight will be in line to face WBO 122-pound champion Stephen Fulton later this year in a unification showdown.

The event is promoted by TGB Promotions. Martinez vs. Burgos is promoted in association with Mayweather Promotions.

“The super bantamweight division is one of boxing’s most intriguing, and this showdown between Nery and Figueroa will be a huge step towards declaring the king of the weight class,” said Tom Brown, Elnöke TGB Promotions. “These two undefeated 122-pound champions will leave it all in the ring in front of the passionate Southern California fight fans on May 15. With two Mexican-warriors going toe-to-toe, this is a main event that you won’t want to miss a second of.”

Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased at AXS.com. Dignity Health Sports Park will be open to fans in a limited capacity, with all guests remaining socially distanced and subject to local and state health guidelines throughout the event.

A Tijuana, Mexico native Nery (31-0, 24 KO) became a two-division world champion in September as he won a wide unanimous decision over previously unbeaten Aaron Alameda to capture his WBC crown. The 26-year-old had held an 11-fight knockout streak entering that 122-pound title fight, establishing himself as a premier knockout artist at bantamweight during a run that included stoppages of former champions McJoe Arroyo and Juan Carlos Payano. Nery first became champion in 2017, when he went to Japan and stopped Shinsuke Yamanaka in his home country to capture the WBC bantamweight world title.

“This is one of the biggest fights of my career,” said Nery. “I am going to win this fight in spectacular fashion. I’m training hard every day to make sure I get the win on May 15. This is my time to make history for Mexico.”

The 24-year-old Figueroa (21-0-1, 16 KO) returns to the ring after his most recent outing saw him stop Damien Vazquez in round 10 of their September 2020 clash. Figueroa applied his all-action style scoring knockouts over veteran contenders Moises Flores and Oscar Escandon to move his way up the 122-pound rankings. He captured the WBA’s interim super bantamweight title by stopping Yonfrez Parejo in April 2019, before eventually being elevated to “regular” champion. Figueroa has trained for this career-defining bout in Southern California, alongside his brother and former world champion Omar Figueroa.

Training camp out here in California with Joel Diaz has been amazing,” said Figueroa. “I’m in tremendous shape and I’ll be ready to go on May 15. This is really one of the best training camps of my career. I know Nery is a tough fighter, maybe my toughest test to date. Vagyok 24 most, so it’s time for me to start fighting these world class fighters and prove to myself that I belong in there with the best fighters. I know Stephen Fulton is lined up for the winner of this fight, but I’m preparing 110% for Nery. I know he’s not just any fighter, so I’m doing everything I can to come away with the win on May 15.”

Ranked in the top five by all four sanctioning bodies at super bantamweight, Római (27-3-1, 10 KO) will look to continue on his path back toward another world title when he steps in the ring on May 15. The 30-year-old from Los Angeles most recently won an exciting 12-round unanimous decision over former champion Juan Carlos Payano last September. Roman first became world champion in 2017, when he stopped Shun Kubo for the WBA title. Roman would go on to unify titles by beating TJ Doheny for his IBF strap in 2019, before losing a narrow split decision to Murodjon Akhmadaliev in January 2020.

“I’m delighted to be fighting once again and can’t wait to step into the ring May 15 a Showtime,” said Roman. “Ricardo Espinoza is a very tough fighter with a lot of heart. I know this fight is going to be another war and I’m fully prepared to go to battle. I’ve stayed in shape since my last fight, so fans can expect to see me throw a lot of punches. I’m going to make this fight a classic Mexican showdown.”

The 23-year-old Espinoza (25-3, 21 KO) has fought professionally since 2015 and has won 15 Az utolsó 16 fights heading into May 15. Küzdelem Tijuanából, Mexikó, Espinoza dropped a bantamweight interim title fight to current world champion John Riel Casimero in 2019 via a 12th round knockout in a fight that was virtually tied on the cards. Espinoza bounced back with two straight victories, including his most recent triumph, a unanimous decision win over previously unbeaten Brandon Valdes last August.

“I’m training as hard as I ever have for this opportunity on May 15,” said Espinoza. “I feel strong and prepared for anything Roman is going to throw at me. I know that he’s an accomplished fighter, but I have all of the tools to be victorious and win an exciting fight that the fans are going to love.”

A Mayweather Promotions prospect from Sacramento, Kalifornia., Martínez (15-0, 11 KO) has trained for this fight in Las Vegas, Nevada. The 23-year-old earned a career-best victory in his last outing, defeating veteran contender Claudio Marrero by unanimous decision in October on SHOWTIME. Korábban, Martínez added three stoppage victories to his record in 2019 to run up a seven-fight knockout streak heading into the Marrero fight.

“I’ve felt great in camp and have already been preparing hard for this opponent,” said Martinez. “My last fight was an incredible experience. The biggest thing it taught me is just because you’re winning, don’t fall asleep at the wheel. That’s the same mentality I’m taking into this fight. I proved in my last fight that I can box and can hang with the best in the sport. This is a side many haven’t seen because I’ve been decapitating my previous opponents. The world is going to see how much versatility I carry in my skill set. Május 15 is another day in the office, and it’s time to work!"

A Tijuana, Mexico native Burgos (34-4-2, 21 KO) has faced an impressive resume of top fighters throughout his extensive career, dropping world title bouts to Mikey Garcia and Hozumi Hasegawa, in addition to a draw in a 130-pound title tilt against Roman Martinez. The 33-year-old ended up on the short end of decisions in challenges of unbeaten champion Devin Haney in 2018 and undefeated Hector Tanajara in January 2020. Legutóbb, he won a unanimous decision over Juan Ramon Bernal in March 2020.

This is another opportunity for me to show that I have a lot left to give in the ring,” says Burgos. “Martínez doesn’t have a strong chin, as everyone saw when he got dropped twice by Claudio Marrero in his last fight. I’ve been training hard and waiting for an opportunity like this. Fans can expect an explosive performance on May 15.

HAGLER AND HEARNS WENT TO ‘WAR’ 36 YEARS AGO IN ONE OF THE NINE MEMORABLE FIGHTS FEATURED IN SHOWTIME SPORTS DOCUMENTARY FILMSTHE KINGS

of Durán, Hagler, Hearns, and Leonard

Premieres Sunday, Június 6, at 8 p.m. ET / PT

Exclusively on SHOWTIME

NEW YORK – április 15, 2021 – From 1980 keresztül 1989, four great champions and future Hall of Famers raised the level of their sport. It was boxing at its best, at its most enthralling. Over the span of one glorious decade, they fought each other nine times.Roberto “Manos de Piedra” Durán, Csodálatos Marvin Hagler, Thomas “The Hitman” Hearnsés Sugar Ray Leonard, known collectively as the “Four Kings,” formed a fierce rivalry and arguably the greatest period in the history of the sport.

SHOWTIME SPORTS DOCUMENTARY FILMS will be presentingTHE KINGS, a four-part series chronicling the four fightersdramatic and divergent ascents to greatness and the legendary matches they produced. They dominated an era of their own creation, but not each other. The weekly series premieres on Sunday, Június 6 at 8 p.m. ÉS / PT a Showtime, with all episodes being made available across the network’s on-demand and streaming platforms at premiere.

Today marks the 36th anniversary of the epic middleweight championship battle between Hagler and Hearns. Long considered the high-water mark of the Four Kings era, Hagler-Hearns stands out for the drama and brutal non-stop action that was compressed into just over eight minutes from start to finish. The fight and the opening stanza were consensus Fight of the Year and Round of the Year, illetőleg, but many consider both as one of, ha nema, all-time best in their respective categories.

Alatt, please find the observations and recollections of those who covered that fight, many who are featured inTHE KINGS.      

I remember the week of the fight, Hagler wore a baseball hat with ‘WARon the front, és úgy gondoltam,, ‘eh, the usual pre fight hype’until the first bellthen I said, “WOW, Hagler was right.

– Teddy Atlas, Hall of Fame trainer and boxing analyst

I covered the fight as a columnist for The New York Times. Here was my leadUntil Thomas Hearns fell, with the assistance of a smashing right to the face by Marvelous Marvin Hagler, and was ruled the loser at 2:01 A harmadik fordulóban, hardly a second passed that one of the fighters wasn’t throwing and landing a stunning blow.

– Ira Berkowringside for The New York Times

The excitement at the outdoor arena at Caesars Palace was palpable. As I sat ringside I did something I now do regularly before a match. When both Hagler and Hearns had entered and were in the ring I took my headsets off just to feel the emotion of the crowd better. I wanted to live that moment. Most, I do that before every big match just before it begins. At the end of the first round, I said on the telecast, ‘This is one of the best rounds in middleweight boxing history.I may have been underselling it.”

– Al Bernstein, SHOWTIME Boxing analyst / első sor cirkuszban, called the fight as part of the live closed-circuit telecast team

I knew trouble was brewing when in the last leg of their nationwide press tour, Marvin stuck dinner napkins in both ears as Tommy stood to continue three weeks of boasting about a third-round knockout. ‘He’s half right,’ Hagler later groused. The first round sucked the air out of the arena and the finish was Hagler’s violent response to all the forces he believed had tried to deny him greatness his whole career. Marvin took all his frustrations out on poor Tommy and left him in a heap on the floor, broken like an old beach chair.”

– Ron Borges, ringside for the Boston Globe

I was sitting first-row ringside that night next to Ed Schuyler Jr., the great AP boxing writer. We were anticipating a good fight, but we had no idea how good. The bell rang and suddenly Hagler and Hearns were fighting in a fury that was hard to comprehend and just as hard to describe. When the round ended, I remember looking at Schuyler shaking my head, not saying a word, and he did the same to me back. It was like ‘What did we just see?’ I’ve seen thousands of fights, but to this day that three minutes of mayhem is forever etched in my mind. No need to watch the old video, I remember it almost punch by punch. Greatest first round ever, and top five in greatest fights I’ve ever covered.

– Tim Dahlberg, ringside for the Associated Press

A wise old journalist once told me, ‘If you’re covering a fight, or anything for that matter, that’s truly sensational, don’t try to write it that way. Underplay it.’ I think of that advice whenever anybody mentions Hagler-Hearns. For fight fans, it was invigorating, inspiring, incredibleeverything we could ever hope for. For fight writers, it was a bit different. How could we describe that first round without overstepping our boundsSometimes it’s easier being a fan.

– Steve Farhood, SHOWTIME Boxing analyst / Covered the fight as senior writer for KO magazine

I will always remember sitting in the truck, as the producer of the telecast, and telling Marc Payton, the director, to stick with the hand-held camera in the last minute of the first round, mesmerized that they had planted themselves in front ofhogy kamera. It was the longest three minutes of action in my entire career. I turned to Marc at the end of the round and just asked, ‘What the hell was that?’ It was actually a more emphatic expletive than that.

– Ross Greenburgexecutive producer of the fight telecast

At the end of the first round I was literally speechless. The action had been so incredibly intensethey had attacked each other with the kind of ferocity you only see in a horror moviethat I had watched it all with my mouth wide open, and in the dry desert air my mouth had become completely bone dry, so I was unable to get a word out when Ian Darke asked me for my comment. Eventually I managed to say, ‘That’s the greatest round of boxing I’ve ever seen.And all these years later, it still remains so.

– Colin Hart, ringside for The Sun and BBC Radio

Whenever I’m asked to name the most exciting sporting event I ever attended, I respond, ‘Hagler-Hearns.Never do I have to explain.

– Barry Horn, ringside for the Dallas Morning News

Greatest first round in the history of boxing at any weight. Hearns hits him with the best right hand he ever threw, wobbles him, opens a cut on his forehead but two rounds later Marvin fights off the blood and knocks him out. Seventy years covering boxing and I never saw anything like it.

– Jerry Izenberg, ringside for The Star-Ledger

Being at ringside for the eight minutes of fury known as the Marvin Hagler-Thomas Hearns fight was as close as anyone could come to understanding the days of gladiators in the Roman Colosseum. The first round was all-out warfare with both fighters exchanging their best power shots. Hearns tried to box in the second, but Hagler wouldn’t let him, and when the blood started pouring from a cut on Hagler’s forehead in the third and there was a danger the fight might be stopped, Hagler later said, ‘It turns me on, the monster comes out.Boy, did it! I never will forget the image of one of Hearns’ handlers cradling him like a child and carrying him to the corner, which is why I led with that picture. Easily the most savage boxing match I’ve witnessed between two all-time greats.

– Greg Logan, ringside for Newsday

Although the action and drama lasted eight-plus breathless minutes, it actually was over in the first minute or so when KO star Hearns landed a flush right and Hagler didn’t blink. It was then I realized that Hagler, normally a patient stalker, had signaled his intention to use his middleweight strength to challenge a big welterweight by pounding his chest defiantly just before the opening bell rang. A night and fight to remember.

– Larry Merchant, ringside commentator for delay telecast

Obviously the greatest round of boxing I’ve ever seen, let alone called. One of those moments that you knew the magnitude of as it was happening. That first round felt like it was a half hour long.

– Barry Tompkins, SHOWTIME Boxing analyst / ringside to call the delay fight telecast

I didn’t know what to expect since it was my first time watching a fight at a movie theater. Whites and Blacks in Memphis only socialized around sports back then. It was a mixed crowd in the theater, but the same reaction: pure joy and excitement. Everyone stood throughout the entire fight. It was violent, courageous, and thrilling.”

– George Willis, covering from a closed-circuit outlet in Memphis for The Commercial Appeal

I covered that fight, és sokan mások, for The Detroit News. I’ll never forget the absolute savagery in the way Hearns and Hagler went at each other from the opening bell, and the way the crowd roared with every punch. One telling moment: Hearns connected with a wicked left hook that turned Hagler half around from the force of the punchbut never fazed him. It has been called the greatest short fight in history, and that stands up to this day. The first round set the tone. I remember after the fight someone asked Larry Merchant of HBO how he scored that first round. ‘I gave them both 11,he replied. That said it all.

– Mike O’Hara, ringside for The Detroit News

My memory of the first roundaction so immediate and reckless that spectators were left breathless. So were the reporters at ringside. I was there for the Boston Globe, and I remember the veteran scribes who sat paralyzed after the bell, unable to type or scratch notes, me included. A deep gash opened above Hagler’s right eye, and Hearnsright hand fractured. In the third round, with blood running down Hagler’s nose, the referee stopped the bout and asked Hagler if he could continue. Hagler snapped‘I’m not missing him, am I?’ When the bout resumed Hagler attacked quickly, bounced three long rights off of Hearns’ fej, and watched him twist downward to the canvas.

– Steve Marantzringside for the Boston Globe

I remember how difficult it was, on a tight deadline, to give justice to that spectacular first round. How many superlatives could I pack into the story without inducing nauseaHagler quietly, confidently selling the fightsimply, wearing a cap with ‘Waremblazoned on the front. Then that nail-hard infantryman, coming, always coming after Hearns. Hearns out on his feet, chin on referee Richard Steele’s shoulder and then carried to his corner. I can still hear the crowd roaring throughout the short fight, knowing all of us were witnessing a brawl for the ages.

– John Phillipsringside for Reuters

What I remember about this war was there was no feeling (each other) out, they just came out slugging from the opening bell! It was so loud outside at Caesars Palace, the most iconic venue, that made this fight even more special. I wish more fights were outside. I also thought that Referee Richard Steele did a great job and just let them fight!”

– Marc RatnerNevada State Athletic Commission Inspector for Hagler-Hearns

Hagler-Hearns was the first major fight I covered and the first time I was ever in Las Vegas. I was there to do sidebars and run quotes for Greg Logan, who was doing the main story for Newsday. I got a seat in press row when press row was truly ringside, literally within 10 feet of the ring apron. And after the incredible first round, I was on my feet, my legs quivering, when I noticed all the other older, more grizzled reporters were standing too, stunned by what we all had just seen. At that moment, Eddie Schuyler of the AP turned to me and deadpanned in that sardonic manner of his, ‘You know, kid, they aren’t all like this.He turned out to be right. Over the next 38 years and who knows how many first rounds, I have yet to see another one like that.

– Wally Matthewsringside for Newsday

Vadim Nemkov, BELLATOR félnehézsúlyú világbajnok

KattintsonITT hogy megnézze Nyemkov teljes médiaülését

"Igen, Bajnokként indulok a Nagydíjra, de igyekszem ezeket a dolgokat kimozdítani a fejemből, szóval rendes harcosként jelentkezem a tornára, és csak nyerni akarok. Számomra, sokkal fontosabb most megnyerni ezt a tornát. Nem az öv.

„Meg akarom nyerni ezt a tornát. Mindenkinek bizonyítani akarok. Jelenleg a legjobb koromban vagyok. Már sok tapasztalatom van. Jól felkészültem erre a tornára, és mert fiatalabb vagyok, ez még nagyobb plusz számomra.

„Nagyon örülök, hogy idén három küzdelmem van a címvédésért. Ez nagyon jó számomra, hogy sokat harcolhatok, és bebizonyíthatom, hogy én vagyok a legjobb. Hogy bajnok vagyok. Nem vesztegeti az időt. Nagyon boldog vagyok, hogy a tornán szereplő többi legenda az övemet akarja, és van esélyem harcolni velük és bebizonyítani, hogy jobb vagyok.

„Készen állok arra, hogy Phil Davisszel öt fordulón keresztül küzdjek. felkészültem rá. De szeretném befejezni. Nem akarok öt fordulót Phil Davis-szel tölteni, és szeretnék az első lenni, aki végez vele életében.”

"Őszintén szólva, ez egyfajta közhely, de a legkeményebb próba ezen a tornán Nemkov lesz. Okkal bajnok. Ő egy kemény macska, és ő az a srác, akit meg kell verni. Meg akarom szerezni ezt a félnehézsúlyú övet, majd utána, takarítsd meg a verseny hátralévő részét.

„Ez a küzdelem őrült lesz. Ezt megígérhetem. Nyemkovval, tudod, ha nyersz mellette korcsolyázol. Ezúttal, jön, hogy kijelentse, ő a jogos bajnok. És azért jövök, hogy elmondjam, 'Nem, te nem!Minden bizonnyal nagyon agresszív és izgalmas küzdelem lesz.

„Visszagondolok arra a veszteségre, és soha nem szeretném, ha elveszíteném, de ugyanakkor, Úgy érzem, hogy ez egy kicsit több színjátékot ad ehhez a pillanathoz, és milyen édes lenne visszanyerni az övet egy nagyon szoros döntés után egy ilyen csodálatos félnehézsúlyú tornán..

„Az összes meccs [visszavágók Nyemkovval, Johnson, Bader] borzasztóan fantasztikusak. Határozottan motivált vagyok, hogy bosszút álljak egy veszteségért, de még jobban motivált, hogy megnyerjem ezt a tornát, mert van néhány kicsoda a sportágból és a félnehézsúlyból.. Aki nyeri ezt, mondják a rajongók, – Ez a fickó borzasztóan fantasztikus. Fej-fej mellett haladtál a hadosztály összes gyilkosával.

„Szerintem hiba azt gondolni, hogy ismersz egy srácot, vagy azt gondolod, hogy tudod, mit fog tenni. Szinte vadonatúj harcosként állok hozzá, vadonatúj harc. Ez megóv attól, hogy abba a csapdába essek, hogy alábecsülöm, vagy esetleg azt higgyem, hogy bizonyos területeken nem fejlődött. Korlátozottan tudom, mit szeretsz csinálni, és hogy szerintem mi lesz a támadási terved, és az én dolgom csak az, hogy üres lappal keressek rád, mert sokszor, főleg a visszavágókkal, általában teljesen különböznek az elsőtől.”

Corey Anderson, BELLATOR könnyűsúlyú világnagydíj versenyzője

*KattintsonITT hogy megtekinthesse Anderson teljes médiaülését

„Az újrafókusz visszatért. Nagyon sok időt töltöttem a fiammal a karantén alatt. Nézni, ahogy nő, és építeni ezt a kapcsolatot, és csak arra emlékezni, hogy minden mozdulatom a családomért van, hogy jobb életet biztosíthassak nekik.. Ki kell mennem, és okosnak kell lennem. Most, hogy ketten vannak a kislányommal, és nem csak babaként szültem meg, hanem magam is szültem, csak egy teljesen más aspektust hozott mindenre.

„Abban a pillanatban, amikor megkaptam a kiadást, és minden rendeződött az UFC-től, és aláírtam a BELLATOR-ral, Tudtam, hogy itt többre vagyok értékelve, már azelőtt, hogy bárkivel is találkoztam volna. A menedzserem tudatta az emberekkel, hogy egy órán belül kiszálltunk az UFC-ből, másfél óra, A BELLATOR hatalmas ajánlattal érkezett hozzánk, amit nem tudtunk teljesíteni. Azok az emberek, akikkel akkoriban voltam, olyanok voltak, – Jaj, ha nem veszed el azt a pénzt akkor hülye vagy.’ Szóval, ezt vettük, és ez megmutatta, mennyire értékelnek harcosként. Egy olyan kérdésben 24 óra, egy új promóció felajánlotta a pénzemet, ténylegesen megkeresett és beszélt velem, majd személyesen akartak találkozni velem. Ez az, ami az UFC-ben eltöltött hét évem alatt történt, Még mindig nem találkoztam személyesen Dana White-tal.

„Elmegyek az edzőtáborba, és úgy nézek az edzőpartnereimre, mint az ellenfelemre. Megadott, Nem azért megyek ki, hogy bántsam őket. Nem tervezem megbántani az ellenfelemet, ha nem kell a küzdelemben. De a terv az, hogy kimegyek és dominálok, és a legjobb módon nyerünk, és elérjük őt, mielőtt ő elérne hozzám.. Ez lehet a sz. 1 rangsorolt ​​srác vagy a világ legalacsonyabb rangú sráca, de a terv az, hogy kimenünk és úgy harcolunk, mint Corey Anderson. Menj oda, és légy az a vegyes harcművész, akivé mindennap edzel.

„Ő volt a bajnok valahol máshol. Elég legitim ahhoz, hogy részt vegyen ezen a tornán a másik hét harcossal. Azzal, hogy azt mondta,, Nem megyek be és nem nézek el mellette, mert nem egy olyan név, amit ismerünk. Nem azért nézek be, mert az UFC-ben voltam, és a csúcson harcoltam, hogy ez a srác nem áll készen.. Úgy megyek ki, hogy ez a fickó ugyanolyan veszélyes, mint bárki más. Két ökle van. Két lába van, két szem és két fül. Ő hallja, lásson és dobjon, amit akar, amikor meglátja.

„A BELLATOR félnehézsúlyú részlege minden számmal rendelkezik. Minden képességünk megvan. Minden név megvan. -ban 205 ott az UFC-ben, most tényleg csak a bajnok és Glover van. Az emberek itt már megverték mindkét srácot. Ez olyan, mint, ez nem is lehet kérdés."

„Néha azt sem tudom, hogyan írjam le a saját harcmodoromat. Ez valami furcsa stílus. Általában, Harc közben kezdek alkalmazkodni az ellenfelemhez. Ha a srác birkózni próbál, lecsapok vele. Ha a srác ütni próbál, birkózom vele.

„Nem szeretem megjósolni a harcokat, főleg a saját harcaimat. Könnyebb megjósolni valaki más harcát, de nehéz megmondani, hogy mi fog történni. Minden arról, hogy mi fog történni, péntek este lesz látható a ketrecben. Az egyetlen dolog, amit elmondhatok arról, hogy mit fogok tenni, az az, hogy kimegyek és harcolok a sráccal.

„Nem érzek semmiféle nyomást, mert sok nagy név van ezen a tornán. Csak nevek. Még mindig harcosok, bár lehet, hogy ismertebb harcosok és előléptetett harcosok, mint én. A karrieremben, Megharcoltam a versenyt, ami nem rosszabb, és, néhány pillanatban, még ezeknél is jobban. Nagyon jó tapasztalataim vannak, így bármelyikkel harcolhatok.

„Azt hiszem, Yoel Romero lenne az a srác, akivel szívesen harcolnék. Nem mintha igazán meg akarnék küzdeni vele, vagy van valami különleges ebben a küzdelemben, de mindig is rajongtam a harcstílusáért és a nyilvánosság előtti viselkedéséért. Kicsit tisztelem ezt a srácot, szóval, ha megkérdezik, kivel szeretnék megküzdeni ezen a tornán, Yoel Romero lenne.

„Ami Homasit illeti, aki azt mondta, hogy nem zavarja a rekordom, Azt hiszem, ezt el kell mondania az önbizalma érdekében. Már tudom, hogy ideges. Már önmagában is kételkedik. Ez nagy változás ahhoz az interjúhoz képest, amikor a COVID előtt harcolnunk kellett volna, amikor azt mondta, hogy rajong értem, és egy ideje nézi, ahogy harcolok.. Ez csak azt mondja nekem, hogy ideges a harc miatt, és csak az önbizalma miatt mond ilyeneket.. Csak hogy megnyugtassam, megérdemli, hogy ott legyen velem.

„Ki tudja, mi következik. Csak azért vagyok itt, hogy megküzdjek péntek este, és fantasztikus teljesítményt nyújtsak. Állítsd meg a srácot. Vigye ki onnan, és ne hagyjon kérdéseket a képességeimnek, és tegyen egy nagyszerű műsort.

„Alig várom a küzdelmet, függetlenül attól, hogy ki lesz velem péntek este. Csak úgy történik, hogy Sabah lesz. Papíron, neki kellene hoznia. Egy felállási háborúnak kellene lennie, de nem hiszem, hogy ez akkora háború lesz állva, és azt hiszem, lesz jó néhány levételi kísérlet.

„Nagyon kevés embernek, aki találkozik velem, ugyanaz a gondolata, mint a találkozás előtt. Mindenki azt hiszi, hogy egy pszichotikus harci gép vagyok, de legbelül harcművész vagyok. Ami elhozott a harcművészetekhez, azok a nindzsák voltak. Ez indított el a harcművészetek felé. Nem az a tény, hogy valamiféle utcai harcos voltam. Csak ninja akartam lenni. El akartam tűnni. Meditációs dolgokat akartam csinálni. Összefonja az ujjaimat, és megidéz egy sárkányt vagy valami hasonlót. Mélyen, Harcművész vagyok, és ez tart tovább. Engem a tökéletesség végtelen keresése hajt. Csak a lehető legjobb harcművész akarok lenni. Nemrég kaptam fekete övemet brazil jiujutsu-ban, és még mindig itt vagyok a BELLATOR-ban, és ezekkel a srácokkal versenyezek annyi küzdelem és sok évnyi játék után.”

„E győzelem után, Látom magam, ahogy felkapaszkodok a létrán. Egyre közelebb a címadó felvételhez.

„Ez nálam inkább mentális állapot. Valami lelkileg kattant, és most mindent összerakok. Megvan a képességem. Minden összejön, és ez a tökéletes időzítés számomra.

„Csak tisztelnem kell az erejét. De neki is tisztelnie kell az enyémet. Eltérő, Látom magam, ahogy mindenhol megverem őt. Nem érdekel, hány verekedése van. Több harcot vívtam emberekkel, mint ő. Minden nap csinálom az edzőteremben, és számomra ez csak egy harc.”

NEW YORK – április 12, 2021 - A boksz, it is said that styles make fights. -tól 1980 keresztül 1989, it was the style of four great fighters that not only made legendary fights, it ushered in a boxing renaissance. The fierce rivalry between world champions and future Hall of Famers known as the “Four Kings” –Roberto “Manos de Piedra” Durán, Csodálatos Marvin Hagler, Thomas “The Hitman” Hearnsés Sugar Ray Leonard – produced a Golden Age defined by the nine world championship fights between them and solidified their place among the greatest to ever live.

SHOWTIME SPORTS DOCUMENTARY FILMS today announcedTHE KINGS, a four-part series chronicling the four fightersdramatic and divergent ascents to greatness and the legendary matches they produced. The weekly series premieres on Sunday, Június 6 at 8 p.m. ET /PT on SHOWTIMEwith all episodes being made available across the network’s on-demand and streaming platforms at premiere.

THE KINGS spotlights boxing’s evolution from the end of Muhammad Ali’s era to the era of the Four Kings, set against the seismic political and socio-economic shifts taking place in the United States. The Four Kings rose to fame as the presidency of Jimmy Carter and economic recession gave way to the boon of 1980s capitalism and excess harnessed by the administrations of Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bokor. Through in-depth interviews and archival footage, the series also examines the very personal battles that each man waged on his unique journey to the center of the sports world.

“These four men defined an era in boxing,"Mondta Stephen Espinoza, Elnök, SHOWTIME Sport. “Their individual stories, forever linked by the spectacular battles they waged, reflect a tumultuous period in American culture and history.THE KINGS takes the viewer beyond the glorious action of some of history’s most memorable prizefights to illuminate each man’s dramatic journey and the societal context that made them stars of sports and popular culture.”

Following a brief fallow period in the wake of Ali’s retirement, boxing was revitalized when Leonard became a world champion in 1979 and waged his first battle with Durán in 1980. From that point, the Four Kings engaged in a decade-long run of riveting fights that far outperformed any other sport in attention and revenue. They were the most popular stars of sports and American culture.

-tól 1979 keresztül 1985, as a mark of their incredible achievements, the Boxing Writers Association of America bestowed these men the coveted title of “Fighter of the Year” annually with the lone exception of 1982 – with Leonard, Hagler and Hearns each winning twice. In the nine world title fights between them, there were four knockouts and three of the bouts were recognized byA Ring magazine as “Fight of the Year.” A Ring magazine “Round of the Year” (and to many, the round of all time) from round one of Hagler-Hearns is, talán, the most iconic single round of boxing of all time. FittinglyTHE KINGS premieres in the 45th anniversary year of Leonard winning an Olympic gold medal, and the 40th anniversary year of the welterweight world title unification battle between Leonard and Hearns, widely considered their greatest fight and a symbol of the era.

THE KINGS is produced by Box To Box Film in association with Ingenious Media. The series is executive produced by James Gay-Rees (Amy, Senna, Drive To Survive) and Paul Martin (Diego Maradona, Drive To Survive), produced by Fiona Neilson (Oasis: Supersonic, Coldplay: A Head Full of Dreams) and directed by Mat Whitecross (Oasis: Supersonic, Road To Guantanamo, Coldplay: A Head Full of Dreams).
