Deontay Wilder VS. ARTUR PIN & CHARLES MARTIN VS. VYACHESLAV GLAZKOV MEDIA CONFERENCE CALL TRANSCRIPT

Legg igjen en kommentar
Lou DiBella
Thank you very much and welcome to the, final conference call for the SHOWTIME Championship Boxing show, Januar 16 of this new year at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. The show will begin at 10 pm. OG/7 pm. PT på SHOWTIME. It’s a world championship, heavyweight championship doubleheader.
These are the first two heavyweight title fights in over 100 years in Brooklyn on the same night, 115 years since the last heavyweight title fight in Brooklyn. And there’ll be two on the same night on Januar 16 på SHOWTIME.
The first bout will be for the vacant IBF Heavyweight World Championship between Charles Martin and the highest ranked contender in the IBF, former Olympic Bronze Medalist, Vyacheslav “Czar” Glazkov. The main event will be Deontay Wilder, the Heavyweight Champion of the World of the WBC who is defending his title against the very colorful and exciting Artur Szpilka.
We’re going to start with Stephen Espinoza, the man who runs SHOWTIME Boxing and who has put together this great card for us.
Stephen Espinoza
Takk, Lou. As some of you know, 2016 represents the 30th anniversary of SHOWTIME Championship Boxing. The very first fight at SHOWTIME was telecast on March 10, 1986 and featured Marvelous Marvin Hagler versus John Mugabi. We’ve had a variety of high-profile fighters and fights since.
To kick off our 30th anniversary year, I can’t think of a better way to do it than at Barclays Center in Brooklyn with a doubleheader of heavyweight title fights. There is going to be some explosive action. We have some really entertaining, interesting personalities. Faktisk, I can’t wait to see what the rest of this all holds.
L. DiBella
I’m going to start with the man who is the leading available contender in the IBF, and he is going to fighting Charles Martin for the IBF Heavyweight Championship. Czar Glazkov, 21-0-1, 13 KOs from the Ukraine originally, now fighting out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He’s a 2007 Silver Medalist at the World Amateur Boxing Championship and a 2008 Olympic Bronze Medalist at Super Heavyweight.
Manager extraordinaire, Egis Klimas is on the call, and he will do the translating for Czar Glazkov. Czar is promoted by Main Events and Kathy Duva of Main Events will be co-promoting this fight with us.
Egis klima
Hallo, alle. This is Egis, manager of Vyacheslav Glazkov. We’re very happy to have a title shot, the world title of the IBF. We wanted to thank our promoter Main Events for doing such a good job for bringing Glazkov to this opportunity. I am very fortunate to represent Mr. Glazkov. I’ve been doing it for four years, and this is a big shot for him to become the world champion.
I would like to introduce to you, Vyascheslav Glazkov, the contender for the IBF Title.
Vyaschelav Glazkov
Ja. Hallo, alle. This is Vyacheslav Glazkov. This is a great opportunity for me and a really good chance for me to win the World Championship.
L. DiBella
Charles Martin, 22-0-1 med 20 KOs, born in St. Louis, Missouri, now from Carson, California. Charles is a huge physical specimen at 6’5″. The 29-year-old knockout artist was an accomplished amateur. He won the 2012 National PAL Championship. Charles is something of an unknown commodity to a lot of people. He is the number three-ranked IBF contender and is looking forward to his opportunity and what he thinks is going to be a knockout win against Vyacheslav Glazkov.
Charles, ønsker du å si noen ord, please?
Charles Martin
Ja. I’m so thankful to be in this position and blessed to get a world title shot, and that’s what all boxers dream of. It’s finally becoming a reality to me. I’m not going to let anything stand in front of me of receiving this IBF title. So I will be prepared on 16 januar.
I’m up in high altitude right now. I’m in the snow. I’m running in the snow. I’m getting it, grinding with it, and it’s going to all show in the rings.
L. DiBella
Takk, Charles. Charles is promoted by Warriors Boxing in Florida, so they will also be a co-promoter of this title fight.
I would open it up now to questions for Vyacheslav Glazkov and Charles Martin.
Q
Can you take me through the decision-making process of dropping out of your fight with Dominic Breazeale in December?
C. Martin
I’m glad you asked that because I wanted to do both of the fights. My team is the one that talked me out of it. I was up here making plans to do both. They’re like, ja, ja, du vet, that’s right, that’s right. With the conversation with my coaches, I’m like, I can do this fight. I can get this another way. Then I’m lined up right here.
My manager and everybody else, they’re like, “Hey, this is a world title opportunity. It’s the opportunity of a lifetime. You fight for a world title. So we’re pulling out. You’re going to back to camp and get this belt.” I guess after a while it sunk in and it started to make sense. And I said, “Hey, du vet, whatever. Let’s just do it.” Because anything could happen.
You could get cut or something, any kind of crazy stuff that could have pulled me out of this fight. But I guarantee I was going to knock Dominic out. That’s automatic, you know what I mean? Vi kjenner hverandre. I would have knocked him out, Helt sikkert.
Q
You’re talking about Breazeale, who you know?
C. Martin
Ja, Dominic Breazeale. I would have knocked him out.
Q
When you did make that decision to withdraw from the fight, did you stay straight through in camp. Did you at least take a couple of days off? Did you do anything over the holidays? Or did you just basically stay in camp and just work all the way through it?
C. Martin
Ja, I took a week off. I took that week off and then we got back to camp. I started back training when I was in L.A.. I live in North Hollywood, so we have a gym right there. These guys they sponsor me and I got a gym right there. Me and my coaches got in there and we were hitting pads and we’re doing workouts, doing pushups and callisthenic-type of movements.
Then we got right back up here into the high altitude, ett. We are in Big Bear right now. We’ve been here for a few weeks now. We’ve been up here grinding, ett. We’re getting it in. I’m in perfect shape. I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been in my life. Jeg er klar til å kjempe.
Q
When you look at the record of Glazkov, does it make you think to yourself, I better really get rid of this guy because I cannot leave it in the hands of the judges?
C. Martin
I don’t even take the time to think about those kind of things because he’s never been in the ring with a fighter like me. I’m no Cunningham. I’m no Tor Hamer. I’m none of these guys that he fought.
I’m totally a different fighter than he’s ever seen. So come fight night, I’m ready to prove it to the whole wide world. I’m ready to be that superstar. We train like superstars. If you’re going to train mediocre, you’ll be mediocre, and that’s what I see out of a lot of fighters, tungvektere, especially. But we train to be a superstar and that’s what you guys are going to see.
Q
Has everything changed in the mindsets for a fighter like yourself after Klitschko’s loss?
C. Martin
It was going to open up eventually. Klitschko had a very good run. His whole career was outstanding. He’s an awesome fighter. But it’s our time now. There are new fighters on the map. We had big plans to knock him out as well. We wanted to knock him out and become superstars overnight. Everybody got the dream.
It’s here now, ett. I get to fight for the IBF World Title. I can’t believe it. Every day I wake up. I think I’m freaking blessed. I’m fighting for a world title. This is crazy. Sometimes it doesn’t even sound right, but it’s real. So I’m going to seize the moment, definitivt.
Den. Glazkov
Vel, I think right now the heavyweights are going to be very interesting because of all the titles getting a split around. There is going to be more champions, and that’s what the fan always like because for many years it was all one person. I’m looking forward to see what is going to be happening in the heavyweight division.
Q
This is for both fighters. I just want to know if one of you, unless there is a draw, wins this title next weekend, are you anxious to unify with either the WBC champion or with Tyson Fury?
Den. Glazkov
Ja, Selvfølgelig. This is the dream of every fighter to get all the titles because I truly believe the real champion is whoever is holding all four titles.
C. Martin
Ja, I want it all. As soon as I get this belt, I want to unify. I want everything. I want all the hardware. Look out for “Prince” Charles Martin. I’m here to make a statement and you guys are going to see, finally. I’ve been under wraps a long time but now the world can see me display my skill. Ja, I can’t wait to unify. I want everything.
Q
Charles, do you think that Glazkov is a pretty decent step up in competition on paper from who else you fought? I’d like your assessment of him as a boxer and what you think he brings to the table.
C. Martin
Ja. He’s definitely a step up on paper. His resume reads well. Han er en god fighter. He’s technical, keeping his hands up and stuff like that, has a pretty nice hook. But I got to give you the ups and the downs. He’s a little guy. I’m massive, sterk, kraftig, elusive. He’s definitely going to be in there for the hardest fight of his life that he’ll ever have.
Q
Czar, you heard what Charles said. He called you a little guy. I’d like your reaction to and what you think of Martin technically. Have you seen tape on him? What do you think of him as a fighter?
Den. Glazkov
I respect all of my opponents. Anybody who steps into the ring is doing a very good job. As far as him as a boxer, hva kan jeg si? He’s a big dude. He’s a southpaw. I soak up all of his videos. He’s not the standard guy. He’s not a normal guy, but that’s why I’m picking up my sparring partners. That’s why I’m working and preparing for the fighting.
Q
Czar, What’s your prediction for this fight?
Den. Glazkov
I’m not going to be saying that I’m going to knock him out. I’m not going to be aiming to knock him out. I’m just going to be fighting and showing everybody my good skills with boxing. If it’s a knockout coming, it’s going to come.
L. DiBella
This is a significant fight. There is a belt at stake. There is an Olympic Medalist fighting a massive American heavyweight, as Charles accurately described himself, and also extremely charismatic and English-speaking American heavyweight that this fight can bring in major new player to the forefront in the heavyweight division. So it’s a very significant fight.
I thank you guys for joining us, and we’ll see you next week.
Now we’re going to move on to the main event of the evening, Deontay Wilder’s third defense of his WBC Heavyweight Championship of the World against Artur Szpilka, who is promoted by Warriors Boxing. If you’ve been following this promotion or listened to our first call, you’ll know that Artur’s English has gotten much better and he’s never at a loss for words nor is he at a loss for confidence.
I know that Deontay is looking forward to fighting a guy that’s looking to bring the fight and is this confident in his own skills and his ability.
Artur, would you like to say a few words to start?
A. Pin
Welcome to everybody. The new heavyweight champion is here. You’ll see. I wait for questions.
L. DiBella
Vel, the man who believes he is going to be the new heavyweight champion just said a couple of words. Now we’re going to go to the Heavyweight Champion, undefeated Deontay Wilder.
Deontay Wilder
Good evening everyone. Happy New Year. We’re headed into a new year. It’s going to be a hell of a year this year for not only myself but a lot of other fighters as well. There are a lot of things going on in the heavyweight division. The division is definitely alive, and I’m looking to claim it all.
I wish all the heavyweights in the division good luck on their up and coming journeys. And I definitely wish my opponent good luck on becoming the first Polish champion. That is something that has been a hard task to complete for many Polish guys.
He’s not the first to come. It’s going to be difficult for him as well, but I wish him luck. He should be proud that he made it this far, and got this opportunity. So I’m looking forward to Januar 16, to conquering the world.
Q
How’s training going, Deontay? How’s camp been? How’s your training? Same question for Artur.
D. Wilder
Camp has been wonderful. We’ve had a lot of wonderful guys that come in camp. I’ve always been in shape. That’s always been my motto, that I’m never out of shape. To not have fought a southpaw i tre år, and to have a great camp like I’ve had, it’s been crazy.
It reminded me of why I enjoy and love fighting southpaws. I definitely had fun in this camp. I’m looking forward to the fight. I really am. This is my statement year, the start of the year. I’m looking forward to make a statement on Szpilka’s face.
A. Pin
Alt er flott. Everything is fine. For å være ærlig, I cannot wait to start this whole commotion. Especially I am waiting for the moment that I will be able, for første gang, to look in Deontay’s eyes, and be in the middle of this whole fight week preparation, and fight week craziness.
Q
For each fighter, what is difficult about preparing for the other guy? For Deontay, how different is it facing a southpaw, especially one that kind of fights out of a crouch? And for Szpilka, how difficult is it to prepare for someone who is so tall, and with such reach?
D. Wilder
It’s different levels of what you look at as difficult. Southpaws are my fun people to fight. Du vet, southpaws are people that pressure me. They are the ones I enjoy the most in sparring and actual fights and stuff like that.
There’s nothing, difficult about the southpaw, other than you’re switching sides with fighters. What you’re used to seeing is just backwards. That’s about it. Everything else is all about your feel, your determination, your IQ in the ring, and what you’re able to do with your ability.
I could put everything I got in the bank on my abilities and skill and will, and what I’m capable of doing in the ring. There’s no other heavyweight in the division like me, especially when it comes into the athletic department. I’m the most athletic heavyweight in the division.
There comes a point in time where it’s enough talking and it’s time to fight, which is what we’re doing now. We’re in the last few couple of words here, and a couple of more days. Then it’ll be time to fight. Den veien, every fighter has something to say about what they’re going to do.
There comes a time when you have to put forth the action, and actually see whether you’re really just talking to promote yourself, just to sell yourself, or to build your confidence, or build confidence around you, the people that you have inside, or are you the real deal. And I’m pretty sure that I can put every penny on it that I’m the real deal, and what I talk about, I put full action in.
What I’m saying I’m going to, I’ll do it. Everybody that knows me personally knows that if Deontay says he’s going to do something, it’s going to be done. So it’s exciting times, og jeg kan ikke vente. I really can’t. I’m in love with boxing. I’m in love with the sport. Jeg elsker å slåss. I love every bit of it and this is just a part of it.
This is the part I hate, just the waiting. And I’ll be so anxious to beat somebody up, just look at their face. This is the part that I hate — the waiting part. I’m ready for the fight. Jeg er klar til å kjempe. Training is enough. I could have taken off that last little week of training, I didn’t need it.
Jeg er klar. I didn’t need the last week of training. I didn’t need the last week of strength training. I don’t need that. These guys could have went home. If I wasn’t paying my sparring partners, I would have sent them home.
But I don’t believe in giving out free money, so they had to stay and they had to spar — not to the point that they didn’t give me no work, because they gave me great work. It’s just to the point where I am super-ready. I’m just done, klar.
I’m looking forward to it, and I hope everybody is and everyone who is going to be attending this fight, who all’s going to be attending it or watching it on TV. They’re in for a treat. They’re in for a huge treat, just to start the year off.
I’m excited about the new year, that we get to start it off, make a statement. I want this fight to be already the fight of the year, and this is just the beginning of the year. So that’s what excitement I’m trying to bring to this fight. I’m trying to bring a severe knockout.
I want to get back to my knockout days. My hands were still out of all this time, last year my hand was about 85% when I defended my title. Now it’s, looking back, strong as ever. It’s back to 100%, and I’m looking to go back to where I used to be — four rounds or under.
A. Pin
For now I’m just ready to step into the ring. I also like to fight taller fighters. All the time when I’m spending time in Houston with my trainer, this is what we train for. I understand the training is not the actual fight. But I always liked the taller fighters.
Whatever Deontay is saying just makes no sense. I don’t believe in his words, and I will be able to prove it in the ring on the 16th. But for now, it’s just talk by Deontay.
Q
Everybody was just really looking forward to 2016’s Klitschko against Wilder. How disappointed were you when Klitschko just didn’t show up?
D. Wilder
I was very disappointed that Klitschko didn’t show up and do the things that we expected of him and what he was capable of doing. It could be many reasons why that Klitschko didn’t show up, because that wasn’t him as a fighter. Klitschko as a person, his body was there, but as a fighter, something was missing. That isn’tt what we’re used to seeing out of Wladimir Klitschko.
I think Father Time has knocked on his door, and he don’t want to let him in yet. Men, I think it’s knocking at his door, and that fight proved it.
There’s talk of a rematch, and I’m going to see the second time around. So some people are still in daze of belief, because they can’t believe what they’ve seen.
Just like my career, many times, people make excuses for me. They say different things; even criticize me because they can’t understand why I’m able to do what I do, and how I do it when I do it. Så, it’s the same thing as Klitschko. So we’re going to see the second time around, was this real?
Q
Does it mean extra to you to be fighting in such a new arena in the borough of Brooklyn?
D. Wilder
I’m very happy and honored to be able to be able to fight in Brooklyn. Barclays Center as well with so much rich heavyweight history throughout the state of New York. I’m so looking forward to finally putting my name down in history.
I definitely want to come in in the new year, and not only put history down, but in a great fashion; make a great statement to all the others that are in the division. This is a fine time for me. 2016 is going to be a starting time as well, so just making the whole division back and exciting again.
It’s definitely an exciting time and I’m just happy to be a part of it, and bringing that excitement truly back to the heavyweight division. I may be a country boy, but I don’t think the city’s ready for this boy right here.
Q
My first question is to Szpilka. Where are you guys at right now with the drug testing?
A. Pin
I’m still waiting. I’m still waiting. I don’t know why.
D. Wilder
Well I don’t know what he’s talking about. I just went to LabCorp yesterday and got blood drawn for the fight. So this is a championship fight. You’re not going to have a championship fight without being drug-tested. Period. So whether the test is happening before the fight, or whether the test happens after the fight, there will be a drug test.
Q
Is this camp different compared to all the other camps that you guys went through?
D. Wilder
This camp has been one of the most fun camps for the simple fact that I haven’t been involved with a southpaw in like three years. To get my brain back in functioning how to defeat a southpaw, it has been fun. I can’t say challenging, because I had too much fun doing it.
I can’t wait to show you everything that I have to offer. Just as I developing my skill, I develop everything I’ve learned over the years, and apply them in the ring.
Like I said before, I keep saying that I want it to be embedded in you guys’ brains that 2016 belongs to Deontay Wilder, where he will unify the division. There hasn’t been one since 1999. That was Lennox Lewis. Now I must make history. I can’t let any man get in my way from that.
If any man feels that I’m just talk, like Szpilka says, he thinks I’m just talk. There’s never been anything I said that I haven’t done. But we’ve seen him, many times, talk. We’ve recently seen him say the same shit he’s talking about now. And what happened? He ended up becoming the loser.
Everything I’ve said I’ve backed up. That’s why I’m still the champ. That’s why I am a winner. And the thing about it, my 10,000 hours is coming up – of training is coming up (uforståelig). So now I’m coming up four complete fighters now. I understand my abilities and skills inside that ring, and those 10,000 hours is definitely approaching.
I’m looking forward to the world embracing me, and to continue being the heavyweight champ of the world, soon to be the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.
A. Pin
Just like I said before, and just like Deontay said before, I also could have skipped the last week of training. Everything is done. Everything is prepared. Right now it’s just waiting. So we’re going to find out who is who on Januar 16.
Q
I wonder what you think about the fact that you’re fighting in Deontay’s home country, but chances are you’re going to be the one that everybody’s cheering for?
A. Pin
There is no doubt that my crowd, the Polish crowd, will be predominant on Januar 16 in Barclays Center. They will be like additional gloves in the ring for me. They’re going to carry me to be a winner, to be a champion, something special. I’m going to fight also for them.
Q
What would it mean to you to become the first Polish heavyweight to win a world title?
A
This is the most important part of this fight for me, not even to become a world champion. It’s not about that. It’s about to be part of the history; becoming the first Polish heavyweight champion; to be the one when, even after I’m going to be dead, people are going to say, oh, this was the Szpilka guy, the guy who was the first Polish heavyweight champion. This is what I want to do, and this is what I’m going to prove to everybody onJanuar 16.
L. DiBella
Well thank you, Artur, and thank you, Deontay. That’ll be our last question. Igjen, the Showtime telecast will begin at 10:00 OG/7:00 PT. But there are tickets still available at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, and we urge people to come out.
This is a rare opportunity to see the heavyweight champion of the world defend his title, and to see another heavyweight championship contested — two heavyweight title fights in one night, Barclays Center, Januar 16, on SHOWTIME Championship Boxing.
Tickets again are at Ticketmaster.com, by calling Ticketmaster; Barclays Center.com; by going to Barclays Center box office. We hope to see you in Brooklyn. Deontay and Artur, we’ll see you next week in Brooklyn, and we look forward to a great event on Januar 16. Thank you all for joining us.

Undefeated Middleweight Rob Brant Faces Decarlo Perez in Main Event; Harmonito Dela Torre, Jarrell Miller & Bakhtiyar Eyubov
Risk Their Unblemished Records In Other Televised Fights

Fredag, Jan. 22 Ved 10:35 pm. OG/PT

Leve på Showtime®

NEW YORK (Desember. 28, 2015) - ShoBox: Den nye generasjonen begins its 15th year on SHOWTIME® with an explosive quadrupleheader on Fredag, Jan. 22, 2016 live from Casino Del Sol in Tucson, Ariz. (10:35 pm. OG/PT, forsinket på vestkysten).

 

I hovedturneringen av kvelden, ubeseiret mellomvekt Rob "Bravo" Brant (18-0, 11 KOs, 0-3 i World Series of Boxing) St. Paul, Fra., measures against Atlantic City’s Decarlo Perez (15-3-1, 5 KOs) i en 10-rund matchup.

 

In co-featured bouts, ubeseiret Harmonito “Hammer” Dela Torre (17-0, 12 KOs), of Las Vegas by way of Philippines, makes his United States debut against Rafael Guzman (16-1-1, 10 KOs), of Ensenada, Mexico in an eight-round super featherweight bout and undefeated heavyweight Jarrell "Big Baby" Miller (15-0-1, 13 KOs) av Brooklyn, N.Y.. faces southpaw Donovan Dennis (14-3, 11 KOs, 2-1 in WSB) av Cleveland, Ohio in an eight-round scrap.

 

Åpne ShoBox sendingen, hardtslående Bakhtiyar Eyubov (9-0, 9 KOs), av Brooklyn, N.Y.. by way of Kazakhstan, oppfyller Jared Robinson(16-2-1, 7 KOs), of Sumter, S.C. in an eight-round super lightweight tiff.

 

The event is promoted by Greg Cohen Promotions.

 

Boxing historian and expert ring analyst Steve Farhood has called every fight on ShoBox since it premiered in 2001. He anticipates another year of excellent, competitive matchups in 2016.

 

“In 2015, we had eight fighters who appeared on ShoBox og fortsatte med å vinne verdensmesterskap. That means the average number of shows in which you’ll see a future world champion is one out of four,"Sa Farhood.

 

“We saw some fantastic prospects last year, Inkludert Erickson Lubin og Regis Prograis and fresh faces like Jarrett Hurd, Rob Brant—and a fighter who almost seems ready to fight for a title now—SergeyDerevyanchenko. Given Shobox’s 15-year history, I’m fully expecting that we will have more of the same in 2016.’’

 

Brant, Perez and Miller will be making their second consecutive appearances on ShoBox. Brant and Miller were victorious last Oktober. 23, Perez last August. 28. Robinson will also be making his second ShoBox start; the four other boxers will be making their debuts.

 

“Both Brant and Perez won their most recent appearances on ShoBoxand both were impressive,'' Farhood sa. “Brant took a big step up and outpointed Louis Rose in October and Perez pulled off the upset over the previously unbeaten Juan Ubaldo Cabrera i august. So it makes all the sense in the world to match them against each other. On Jan. 22, we’re going to find out just how hot Rob Brant is.’’

Twenty-six-year-old Brant will be headlining his second consecutiveShoBox. In his first, he captured a hard-fought 10-round majority decision over Rose. Going 10 runder for første gang, Brant triumphed in an entertaining tight fight.

Før du slår pro i november 2010, Brant was a 2010 National Golden Gloves Champion på 178 pounds og medlem av US-. national boxing team pro. He currently trains in Dallas alongside top prospect Errol Spence Jr.

“I’m really excited about this fight and I’ve been training hard for several weeks now,’’ Brant said. “I’ve got a very serious opponent in front of me. He rates about a 7.7 at everything, which doesn’t leave a whole lot of weaknesses. I’ve got to go back to pure boxing for this one. I have to be better in every department. It’s my second time headlining ShoBox and I plan on improving from the first time, so viewers can chart my progress. This is my time to show my growth.’’

Perez, who hails from a fighting family, has won four straight and nine of his last 10. He scored a surprising, upset, a 10-round unanimous decision over Cabrera (23-0 går i) i sin siste utflukt. Perez, som tok kampen på en ukes varsel, outpointed the two-time Dominican Republic Olympian by the scores of 98-91 to ganger, og 97-92.

“I’m so excited I’m the main event on national television,’’ Perez said. “I don’t know a lot about my opponent but I’m well prepared, both mentally and physically. I plan on giving the fans an exciting night.

“Camp is going very well. My management team has brought in top sparring with all undefeated boxers, one being Julian Williams. I’m excited that my trainer is allowing me to fight the majority, if not all of this fight, in the southpaw stance. I’m really a southpaw, but I have fought right-handed most of my career.”

 

Perez’ last loss came on a split eight-round decision to world title challenger Wilky Campfort i januar 2014. Utenfor ringen, Perez is a pharmacy technician at an Atlantic City hospital.

 

Miller, a former New York Golden Gloves finalist who turned pro in July 2009, is a confident, power-punching heavyweight who comes to knock you out. He won his ShoBox debut, stoppe Akhror Muralimov with a devastating right hand to the chin at 1:03 i tredje runde.

“I feel like I should have been here two years ago,’’ Miller said. “I’m not coming to make friends. I’m here to annihilate and destroy the whole heavyweight division. On Jan. 22, I’m going to put Donovan Dennis to sleep. I’m not being heard right now, so I have to make myself known. After this fight and what I do to Dennis, things will really, really start to pick up. I’m ready to destroy.’’

 

Besides being a hard hitter, Miller has good overall skills and movement for a big man whose weight fluctuates from fight to fight. He’s won his last four by knockout, all inside three rounds.

Known for an aggressive style, Miller is now fully focused on a fistic career, but he hails from an MMA and kickboxing background. For et par år, Han konkurrerte i K-1, historisk verdens fremste kickboksing organisasjon, og to ganger kjempet den legendariske Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipović.

“There seems to be a new energy and enthusiasm on the American heavyweight scene,'' Farhood sa. “Part of that is explained by the fall of a dominant champion in Wladimir Klitschko and part of it is explained by the emergence of Deontay Wilder, and even Travis Kauffman. So for a young heavyweight like Jarrell Miller, the time seems to be ideal to secure TV exposure and make a name for himself.’’

Dennis, 28, was born and raised in Davenport, Iowa. Before turning pro in June 2010, he was a top-level amateur: 11-time Iowa State Champion, 2011 National Golden Gloves runner-up in and 2012 Den. S. Olympic Games Trials contestant.
The 6-foot-4 Dennis possesses good skills, movement and punching power to go with his strong amateur background. His weakness is durability; he’s been knocked out in all of his losses.

 

“I’m ready to fight,’’ Dennis said. “I’ve been training really hard and I am looking forward to the fight. I just want to get this win and move on as I will have a big year in 2016.’’

 

Dela Torre, considered one of the top young talents in the Philippines, will be fighting outside of Asia for the first time. A big puncher and winner of seven straight by knockout, 5-fot-8, 21-year-old is coming off athird-round TKO over Ricard Betos siste November. 14.

“It’s every boxer’s dream to fight on big cards in United States. This is the next step in my pathway to becoming world champion,’’ Dela Torre said. “I can’t wait. This is an opportunity I will take advantage of and show everyone I’m ready to step up. I let my team concentrate on my opponents and pass me instructions. I just know I’ll be ready and able to stop any opponent.’’

 

Before turning professional at 17, Dela Torre was a top member on the Philippine National Amateur Boxing Team. As a pro, he has made a “name” for himself after an impressive victory over Jason Butar-Butar on the undercard of a Manny Pacquiao-headlined fight in November 2013.

 

Guzman, a 5-foot-8½-inch 20-year-old, will be making his U.S. debut and initial start outside of Mexico since turning pro at 16 i juli 2011. In Dela Torre, Guzman will be taking a significant step up in class. Han scoret et tredje runde TKO i løpet Pedro Lopez on his last start in Oktober. 9.

“I’m feeling very strong and ready for the challenge of this fight,’’ Guzman said. “Fighting on SHOWTIME is a huge opportunity for me. I hear my opponent is a good fighter, but I am ready for anything he can throw. Everybody is going to be talking about me after this fight.”

 

Yeyubov, 29, who could be on the fast track to stardom, is regarded by many to be the second-hardest Kazakh hitter in boxing, ranked only behind Gennady Golovkin. Since his days as an amateur when he won more than 150 kamper, a vast majority by knockout, Eyubov has lived up to his reputation as a fearsome banger who looks to remove the judges from the equation.

 

He’s overwhelmed his first nine opponents as a pro, winning six by knockout in the first round and two by knockout in the second. The furthest he’s gone in a fight came in his second start when he scored a third-round TKO (2:57) løpet Jhaquis Davis. In his last outing on Oktober. 29, han scoret 1:27, første runde TKO i løpet Antonio Chaves Fernandes i Brooklyn.

Robinson, a pro since August 2009, fights out of Charlotte, N.C. A veteran of several scheduled 10-round fights, he’s undeniably the most experienced boxer Eyubov’s ever faced. A natural 140-pounder,Robinson won his initial 14 starts before losing on a fourth-round TKO to then-unbeaten Amir jeg på ShoBox in a bout he took on short notice on Feb. 21, 2014.

To starter siden, Robinson fought to a disputed eight-round split draw against then-unbeaten Haskell Rhodes (23-0 går i) juni 21, 2015. An excellent boxer with good skills and movement, the 5-foot-9-inch Robinson, 33, is coming off a one-sided 10-round decision overChristian Dominguez siste Sju. 26. Utenfor ringen, Robinson is amassage therapist.

Barry Tompkins vil kalle ShoBox handling fra ringside med Farhood og tidligere verdensmester Raul Marquez tjene som ekspert analytikere. Den utøvende produsent er Gordon Hall med Richard Gaughanprodusere og Rick Phillips regi.

“I am looking forward to getting back in the ring and finally getting my opportunity to fight for a world title,” said Glazkov. “I want to thank everyone who helped me get to this place in my career.”

BILLY JOE SAUNDERS DETHRONES ANDY LEE SATURDAY TO BECOME 12th CURRENT BRITISH WORLD CHAMPION ON SHO EXTREME® FROM MANCHESTER,ENGLAND

Legg igjen en kommentar

NEW YORK (Desember. 19, 2015) – Billy Joe Saunders dethroned WBO Middleweight World Champion Andy Lee with a 12-round majority decision Saturday on SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL fra Manchester, England.

 

Kampen, som ble scoret 115-111, 114-112 og 113-113, will re-air tonight at 9 pm. OG/PT på SHO EXTREME.

 

In a matchup of tactical southpaws, an explosive third round from Saunders (23-0, 12 KOs) was the difference. The British challenger floored Lee twice – first with a big right hook and again with a counter right just 30 seconds later – and a dazed Lee somehow survived the 10-7 runde. VIDEO HØYDEPUNKTER: http://s.sho.com/1OfibYe

 

The Irish Lee (34-3-1, 24 KOs) fought his way back and was the more aggressive fighter in the championship rounds, but it wasn’t enough to make up for a slow start and the two knockdowns.

 

Med seier, Saunders became the 12th current British world champion.

 

“I’m world champion,” Saunders said. “I beat a good champion today, a good sturdy champion. I used his power against him. When I was boxing he got a little bit careless and dropped his lead hand and I caught him with the hook.

 

“I’m not going to start running my mouth, but it was a good shot. With someone as fast as me you have to keep your hands up. I’m not the biggest puncher in the world, but I showed you there that I can punch.”

 

WBA Mellom verdensmester Daniel Jacobs, fresh off a first round knockout of Peter Quillin two weeks ago on SHOWTIME, was a guest analyst på lørdag from New York.

 

“I thought he was going to be a big brawler, I thought he had better assets,” Jacobs said of Lee. “He didn’t do enough for me. He was too complacent and after the knockdown you didn’t see that sense of urgency that a fighter has to have on the comeback trail.

 

“All credit due to Billy Joe, but it wasn’t an impressive victory.”

 

After watching the fight, Jacobs wasn’t ready to commit to a unification showdown in 2016 with the winner.

 

“We’ll do whatever makes sense,” Jacobs said. “I think it’s time to sit-down and figure what makes sense. Obviously it’s a good time to be a middleweight champion.”

Her er hva jagerfly hadde å si onsdag:
Deontay Wilder
“I’m always in shape. I’m always in the ring because I’m in love with this sport.
“There’s so much rich history in Brooklyn. Barclays Center still needs a face. Why not me? I have friends and family in New York. That’s the mission that I’m on.
“Don’t get too overwhelmed by the opportunity, Pin. You still have to do something with it.
“Once I knock Szpilka out, I want all the Polish fans to come on the “Bronse Bomber” train as I bring the heavyweight division back to the top.
“I’m the guy who has everything it takes to be heavyweight champion of the world. It’s not just about being great inside the ring, it’s about being able to do great things outside of the ring. Not everyone has that. I love to be out there with the people.
“Jeg bryr meg ikke hvem det er. It doesn’t matter who is in the ring with me. I love a fighter who’s not scared because it gives me the motive to knock him out. I don’t play around because I mean business.
“I’m looking for a grand show. It’s going to be a great performance to kick off 2016. This is going to be a huge year for me. I’m knocking Szpilka out and I’m sending a message to everyone who stands in my way.”
ARTUR PIN
“I hope that you hear loud and clear, Jeg kan vinne denne kampen. My mind is ready, my body is ready. You’re doneJanuar 16.
“I have everything that a good boxer needs. I’m very confident and I know that this is my time. I have respect for him, but he’s never fought somebody like me. Everybody he fought but Bermane Stiverne was a bum.
“Only three people have actually tried to fight him. Everybody else had already lost before they got into the ring.
“I wanted this fight. Dette er min tid. The heavyweight titles are wide open. There’s new blood for boxing.
“There is a big difference between me now and two years ago. I trust in my corner. You will all see a new Artur Szpilka on Januar 16.”

SHOWTIME BOKSING INTERNATIONAL® Lee vs. Saunders
Airs Live at 5 pm. OG/PT på SHO EXTREME; Encore Presentation at 9 pm. OG/PT

“He’s not good enough to beat me.” – Andy Lee

“I’m not going to leave that ring without the title.” – Billy Joe Saunders

SHO VIDEO: http://s.sho.com/1ROfSkF

NEW YORK (Desember. 15, 2015) – WBO Middleweight World Champion Andy Lee og ubeseiret challenger Billy Joe Saunders held separate media workouts in Manchester, England, as they conclude preparations for their eagerly awaited showdown this Lørdag, Desember. 19, live on SHO EXTREME (5 pm. OG/PT)from Manchester Arena.

 

Irlands Lee (34-2-1, 24 KOs) will make the first defense of his 160-pound title against England’s Saunders (22-0, 12 KOs), the WBO’s No. 1 mellomvekt konkurrent.

 

Den SHOWTIME BOKSING INTERNATIONAL offeretBoxNation telecast will feature analysis from SHOWTIME boxing experts Brian Custer, Al Bernstein og Paulie Malignaggibefore and after the world championship showdown. An encore presentation of the bout will air on SHO EXTREME later that evening at 9 pm. OG/PT.

 

Here’s what Lee and Saunders had to say at their media workouts on Tuesday and Mandag, henholdsvis:

 

ANDY LEE:

“I have a punch that can end a fight, lights out, in any given second.

 

“I won’t rely on the punch. I will look to dominate from the start with educated pressure.

 

“I’m feeling very dangerous at the moment.

 

“Saunders’ unbeaten record is a disadvantage. He’s always been in fights he’s expected to win and has been well managed by(Frank) Warren.

 

“I’ve never lost a fight on points and I never will on points. If I’m down on the cards I will go out swinging in the last round.

 

“Saunders being a fellow traveler does add another layer, but at the end the day it’s about how good you are and he’s not good enough to beat me.”

 

BILLY JOE SAUNDERS:

“I’m ready to go for Lørdag natt. This is the best camp that I’ve ever had. I’m prepared for the toughest test of my career, but I know that I’m in excellent shape to win this fight and become world champion.

 

“Andy Lee is a tough fighter – he’s proved that by becoming world champion and having the type of career he has had. But I’m undefeated and hungry and know that I’m on the brink of fulfilling a childhood dream. I’m not going to leave that ring without the title.

 

“Training in Spain allows me to lock myself away from all distractions and focus solely on the fight. It’s hard being away from home, but it’s all part of boxing. It’s been a long camp, a tough camp, but after that I know that I’m ready to go through hell to make sure that I’m successful come fight night.

 

“The middleweight division is one of the hottest around and I’m prepared to fight any of the other champions in there once I win the title.

 

"Danny Jacobs had a great win against Peter Quillin, and then there is Canelo (Alvarez) og (Gennady) Golovkin. I know the importance of this fight for the division and I want my name to be among the very best. I’m taking it one step at a time, but I’m open to fight anyone.

 

“There has been no trash talk with Andy because we know what each person is about. We share a similar background and neither of us is going to take a back step.

 

“This is going to be a very exciting all-action fight because we’re going to leave it all in the ring. I know I have the skills to beat him and I intend to show the world why I’m among the best around.”

 

Saunders on fellow Brit Chris Eubank Jr.:

“The truth of the matter is that Eubank Jr. does not belong at the world level – he’s a phony. Det er så enkelt som at. I wasn’t impressed with his win over Gary O’Sullivan, who I’ve already beat. He thinks he can fool the public with a win like that, but he can’t.

 

“His aim now is to move up and fight the best guys in the world, but we saw what happened the last time he stepped up a notch and faced me: he was badly exposed. The same thing will happen with him if he fights someone like Danny Jacobs for the WBA title.

 

“You’re not the best middleweight in your own country and you want to fight a world champion and say you’re going to beat him? I think it’s a delusion and he thinks he’s greater than he actually is.

 

“Sooner rather than later he’s going to get exposed again as the fraud that he is. You can keep talking, but eventually you have to back it up in the ring against top-level fighters. He’s won his last fight and now he’s back talking (kraftuttrykk) again like he’s the best fighter in history.

 

“If he has the balls to fight again, which I doubt, I would happily hand him another beating, this time in even more convincing fashion.”

I wish him luck – he’s going to need it. I look forward to winning over the Polish fans after I beat him. I know he’s a southpaw and he tends to give up when things get tough in the ring, going off the fight he had with Bryant Jennings. He doesn’t have heart when it gets tough. I look forward to giving the fans plenty of action and excitement on Jan. 16.”
“Det føles fantastisk å få muligheten til å kjempe Deontay for sin tungvekts verden tittel,” said Szpilka. “I can’t wait to be the first ever Polish heavyweight to win a world title.

Credit Artur Szpilka for accepting the challenge. Szpilka is a young, sterk southpaw med god kraft og en teft for showmanship, og han er ivrig etter å få mest mulig ut av sin første VM-tittel mulighet. Januar 16 is sure to be an exciting night on SHOWTIME.”
“Det tok 115 år, men Heavyweight Championship boksing er tilbake i Brooklyn,” Said Barclays Center konsernsjef Brett Yormark. “Jeg brukte litt tid med Deontay på Jacobs-Quillin kampen sist lørdag, og han kan ikke vente med å forsvare sin tittel i Barclays Center, men det vil ikke være lett. Artur Szpilka er en stor fighter, og er sikker på å være godt representert ved "Little Poland’ nabolag i nærheten Greenpoint. Kommunen er klar for Heavyweight Championship boksing. Det var verdt ventetiden.”

“Jeg ser frem til å være den neste ubestridte tungvektsmesteren og den mest aktive tungvektsmester i historien,” Wilder said. “I’m also active once I get into the ring. I min siste kamp, Jeg landet i gjennomsnitt 30 av 53 punches that I threw each round. That was more than double what Tyson Fury og Wladimir Klitschko landet, kombinert.”
Før du slår pro i november 2008, Wilder vant bronsemedalje i tungvekt for USA. i 2008 OL. He is the last American male boxer to medal in The Olympics.

BROOKLYN (Desember. 6, 2015) – WBA Mellom verdensmester Daniel Jacobs sjokkert ubeseiret challenger Peter Quillin med en første runde TKO i all-Brooklyn main event av SHOWTIME Championship Boxing på lørdag foran 8,443 fans på Barclays Center.
Brooklyn Jacobs (31-1, 28 KOs) vant “Battle For Brooklyn,” en matchup av topp middleweights vender seg i prime av sin karriere i hjembyen.
Ett minutt inn i kampen, Jacobs landet en rett høyre for å Quillin tempel og slo ned med et angrep av slag mens hans motstander var mot tauene. Quillin snublet fremover og dommeren Harvey Dock så i Quillin øyne og stoppet kampen uten utfordreren å berøre lerretet.
Etter kampen, Dock fortalte Showtime Sports reporter Jim Gray som Quillin (32-1-1, 23 KOs) kunne ikke forstå hvor han var og “var ikke i stand til å fortsette.”
“Jeg håper han er i orden,” Jacobs sier. “Jeg var tålmodig og da jeg kom med en uppercut jeg visste at jeg såret ham og det er da jeg gikk for å drepe.
“Jeg fortalte ham at jeg elsker ham. Meg og Peter gå tilbake til Golden Glove dager. Jeg respekterer ham til døden, but I knew this fight would be my night. There are no lucky shots in boxing. Tydeligvis jeg fanget ham med et skudd. Når jeg visste at jeg hadde ham vondt jeg holdt det gående.
“Jeg så øynene hans, og det så ut som hans likevekt var av. Jeg er ikke en dommer, men hvis jeg var ville jeg sannsynligvis ha fortsatt ga ham en annen mulighet.”
Kampen, som bare varte 1:25, ba spørsmålet om en eventuell omkamp.
“Jeg definitivt ville gi ham en omkamp,” Jacobs fortsatte. “Jeg er villig til å kjempe mot ham neste hvis det er hva fansen vil ha.”
Quillin virket å være uenig med stans inntil du ser reprisen under hans SHOWTIME post-fight intervju.
“Det er rett på templet,” Quillin said. “I det øyeblikket du ikke vet hva som skjer før du ser det i reprise.
“This is a time you sit with your family and figure out what you have to do. I have a lot of options, kanskje en omkamp er det beste alternativet.
“Jeg kan ikke tenke meg en bedre person å tape mot enn Danny Jacobs.”
Jesus Cuellar forsvarte sin WBA Fjær VM med en enstemmig avgjørelse i løpet av Jonathan Oquendo i SHOWTIME Championship Boxing co-feature.
Cuellar (28-1, 21 KOs) var det travlere fighter fra begynnelsen, kaster nesten 1,000 slag i 12-runde mesterskapet kampen, sammenlignet med bare 637 for the challenger. Cuellar initiated the action and pressed forward, men hans puertoricanske motstander ville ikke engasjere seg for det meste av bout.
“Vi visste at kampen ville bli vanskelig, men vi oppnådd alt vi ønsket å under treningsleir,” Cuellar sa. “Det eneste som var igjen var den knockout, men på grunn av bevegelsen av hodet var det umulig.
Oquendo (26-5, 16 KOs), som ble kuttet over hans venstre øye fra en utilsiktet sammenstøt mellom hoder i den femte, was knocked down midway through the fourth. Replays showed that Oquendo tangled his feet with his southpaw opponent.
Seieren, som ble scoret 116-111 to ganger, 120-107, sannsynlig setter opp en stor kamp på 126 pounds for den argentinske Cuellar i 2016.
“Først skal vi hvile og deretter skal vi avgjøre hva som skjer videre,” Cuellar sa.
“We’ll have two more fights at featherweight and then move up in weight. Hopefully we get Leo Santa Cruz next.”
Etter kampen, Oquendo erkjente at han ikke ordentlig gjennomføre spillet hans plan.
“I have to give credit to Cuellar. I never got to use my game plan and he fought a good fight and he’s a good champion,” Oquendo sa. “Jeg trengte å starte mer aggressiv, men jeg begynte boksing. Det var min feil. Hodet baken gjorde det vanskelig for meg å se så vel.
“Jeg har tid til å komme tilbake og få en annen verden tittel mulighet. jeg er skuffet, men jeg vil være tilbake i gym klar til å komme tilbake til arbeid snart.”
Long Island Chris Algieri beseiret Erick Bone via 10-runde enstemmig beslutning (95-94, 97-92 to ganger) i et raskt tempo, all-action bekjempe den viktigste hendelsen i SHOWTIME BOKSING på SHO EXTREME.
The back-and-forth fight featured plenty of in-fighting in the center of the ring. Algieri (21-2, 8 KOs), som landet 49 prosent av hans makt skudd, floored Bone (16-3, 8 KOs) med 20 seconds left in the eighth round. Men, på replay, the knockdown looked more like Bone’s foot became tangled with Algieri. The ninth-round featured non-stop action, med hver fighter kaster i løpet av 100 punches, men det var tydelig at den ecuadorianske Bone ble gasset og hadde litt igjen i hans slag som kampen nærmet seg slutten.
“Erick sa at han skulle ha overraskelser, men jeg hadde noen av mine egne i det,” Algieri said. “Jeg bokset litt og slugged mer enn jeg burde ha, men jeg var bare å ha det gøy. He’s got a good punch, han er en undervurdert fighter, og du kunne fortelle at han var i god form.
“Dette er stort. Bone is a real tough guy and I felt in control. I thought the fight was mine the whole way. I wanted to get the knockout, men han var i god form. I’m looking forward to big fights in 2016.”
I åpnings bout på SHOWTIME BOKSING på SHO EXTREME, Marcus Browne scoret et fjerde runde TKO i løpet Francisco Sierra.
Browne (17-0, 13 KOs) grundig dominerte kampen fra starten, landing en astronomisk 64 prosent av hans makt slag. The bout was halted after the third round upon request of ringside physician Dr. Barry Jordan på grunn av betydelig hevelse rundt Sierra (27-10-1, 24 KOs) venstre øye.
“Jeg så jeg kuttet ham tidlig, men jeg måtte bo vedvarende og konsekvent,” Said Browne, av Staten Island. “I had to work the jab and keep working it. I felt like I seized this opportunity to put my name out there.
“It is an honor to fight at Barclays Center for the 10th time. It was a nice stoppage – ikke nødvendigvis den type stans som du vil, men en stans er en stans.”
I ikke-TV-undercard handling, Long Island Joe Smith Jr. (20-1, 16 KOs) tjent en hard kjempet enstemmig beslutning i løpet av Brooklyn brannmann Will Rosinsky (19-3, 10 KOs) i sin 10-runde lett tungvekt bout. Begge mennene byttet kraft slag gjennom hele kampen, men det var Smith rekkevidde fordel som tillot ham å kontrollere handlingen. Alle tre dommere scoret kampen i favør av Smith av score til 98-92, 97-93 og 96-94.
Populære Brooklyn fighter Heather Hardy (15-0, 3 KOs) forble ubeseiret med en actionfylt enstemmig vedtak seier over Noemi Skoger (10-4-2, 2 KOs) i en omkamp av deres kan stride vunnet av Hardy. Dommerne’ totaler for åtte-runde super fjærvekt bout var 80-72 to ganger, og 79-73.
Tidligere super weltervekt verdensmester Yuri Foreman (33-2, 9 KOs) hadde en vellykket retur til ringen i hjembyen som han beseiret Lenwood Dozier (9-9-1, 4 KOs) 77-75 i øynene til alle tre dommere.
John Hernandez (6-1, 1 KO) stenge ute Jack Grady (0-2-1) over fire runder for å vinne 40-36 på alle tre dommere’ kortene i sin weltervekt attraksjon. Cruiservekt Luis Garcia (13-0, 10 KOs) forble ubeseiret ved å slå ut Willie Williams (14-11-2, 4 KOs) 1:03 inn i den første runden.
I en kamp som så både menn treffer lerretet i runde én, Titus Williams (4-0, 2 KOs) gjenvinnes og cruiset til en seier Emmanuel Castro (2-2, 2 KOs) av score til 60-53, 60-54 og 59-54.

Her er hva jagerfly hadde å si Onsdag:
DANIEL JACOBS
“Ikke bare er vi kjemper for å bli best i Brooklyn, men vi begge ønsker å være på toppen av mellomvekt divisjon. Alle de beste middleweights kjemper hverandre, og vi har rett i at riket.
“Jeg tror min hastighet er min største fordel. Min dyktighet, min ring generalship … Jeg kunne gå videre og videre. Til syvende og sist er det om å gå inn der og bevise det.
“Jeg tror du tar et tap før fordeler me. Jeg vet akkurat hvordan du skal forberede og hvordan å forberede seg til å sørge for at jeg aldri har den følelsen igjen.
“Han skal ha for å slå meg til å teste min hake. Denne sporten er om å treffe og ikke får hit. Hvem som helst kan bli slått ned, men du må lande skudd. Hver gang jeg har blitt slått ned, Jeg har fått opp.
“Min prediksjon er at jeg kommer til å ha min hånd oppvokst i seier. Enten det er på knockout eller vedtak, vi får se.
“Denne leiren har vært annerledes fordi jeg har hatt en pre-camp. Vi hadde tre uker med bare styrke og condition. Jeg fikk i form til å bli klar for leir. Når det er gjort, det kommer til å være en 10-ukers leir.
“Mentalt Jeg føler at jeg er sterk, og jeg liker hvor jeg er på fysisk. Min vekt er bra, og jeg føler meg sunn. Vi kommer til å gi det beste av alt.
“Mange er spente på kamper. Jeg er bare spent det er endelig her, og jeg håper å komme ut med en seier i imponerende mote.
“Dette er en bokser vs. en boxer-puncher. Hvis jeg får en fyr vondt. Jeg kan få en fyr ut av det så godt. Min slagkraft er det. Jeg har flere knockouts enn Quillin og jeg kommer til å være på mitt beste på lørdag.
“Jeg er takknemlig for alle mine fans. Jeg vil at alle skal vite at jeg kommer til å representere Brooklyn og dette showet vil ikke skuffepå lørdag natt.”
PETER QUILLIN
“Distraksjoner er i hodet ditt, men de kan være litt mer her i New York. Det er fint å komme bort til Miami og være i stand til å konsentrere seg om trening og har alt rett der.

“Buzz rundt Brooklyn er jeg er den nye mesteren. Jeg kom til New York med en liten by tankesett, men storbyen drømmer og nå er de alle går i oppfyllelse.

På chatter med Floyd Mayweather Tirsdag natt på Barclays Center: “Det er morsomt fordi jeg talte til en skole i dag, men når jeg først møtte Floyd Mayweather, det var på skolen min, og jeg var som "mann jeg kunne være sånn også en dag’ og jeg fortalte ham om det. Han forsto ikke hvorfor jeg sa det, 'Det hele startet på grunn av deg’ og han sa "hva mener du’ og jeg fortalte ham hva som skjedde. Vi lo om det, og det er alt jeg trengte der. Jeg trengte ikke ham til å gjøre noe for meg bare å vite at det hele startet med at han kommer til skolen min og snakker til barna som meg og se hvor jeg er nå. Jeg var bare 14 år gammel.
“Du kan forvente fyrverkeri i desember måned. Vi kommer til å være å kaste alt vi kan muligens kaste.
“Å være i Miami med all den cubanske historien det var stor. Boksing var som en fighter livsstil. Jeg var rundt mange folk som var inspirerende enn ord.
“Da jeg gikk til (Erislandy) Lara kampen vi var på jakt etter parkeringsplass og jeg gikk opp til en fyr, og jeg spurte om vi kunne parkere der. Han går 'tu eres sjokolade?’ (du er sjokolade) og jeg sa ja, og han sa "vet du hvor mye cubanske folk du elsker?’ Jeg hadde aldri innsett det før, og det gjorde meg mer inspirert, å snakke mer spansk, å forstå mine folk. Cubanske folk er mitt folk, Jeg ville aldri benekte det, og jeg er veldig velsignet. Jeg er også en svart amerikansk i tillegg så jeg ønsker å sette et godt eksempel, spesielt der tiden i verden er i akkurat nå for svarte mennesker. Jeg ønsker å være en inspirasjon for både.
“Vi har en plan A, plan B, plan C, plan D, plan E, plan F. Vi kommer til å gå til utover, men viktigst er jeg veldig glad. Jeg er åndelig glad og takknemlig. Du faller ut av frykt og falle i tro og du kan aldri nekte deg selv, så det er der jeg er akkurat nå.
“Ved å være cubansk automatisk du kjempe fra et annet synspunkt perspektiv av verden når det gjelder å slåss. For meg, Jeg er takknemlig og mer inspirert til å jobbe enda hardere, fordi jeg har fans at jeg aldri ville forvente ville være mine fans.
“Jeg har ikke sett 'Creed’ ennå; Jeg er bare fokusert på denne kampen. Jeg ønsker å lage min egen trosbekjennelse’ øyeblikk i denne kampen.
“Til sammen tror jeg det er sannsynligvis omtrent en like matchet kampen. Du har to målbevisste gutter kjemper for sine egne personlige grunner; han slåss med en krefthistorie, Jeg er også kjempe med det. Onkelen min døde av kreft, så jeg kjempe med et stykke av ham også.
“Jeg er bare Peter Quillin. Alt jeg vet er å gå rett i den ringen, tog mot hvem det er, uansett hvem det er, og gjøre mitt beste.
“Min mor sa alltid, «Noen ganger tar det å få satt på ræva for å vite hvor du er’ så det kan være nyttig for ham at han har smakt nederlag. Han har vært der før, du slåss med grunnen til at du ikke noen gang ønsker å være der igjen, eller han kunne har selv fått bedre etter at sittende på sin rumpe, Nå ønsker han å kjempe hardere.
“Min prediksjon for Lørdag? En ny verdensmesteren.
“Jeg har aldri vært i denne typen øyeblikk før der jeg måtte kjempe en av mine venner. Du vil aldri såre din venn, men i denne kampen, Jeg ønsker å såre Danny så hva sier det deg om vårt vennskap der? Noen ganger du ikke ønsker å være venner med fyren som slo deg opp.
“Det kommer til å være liksom som juli 4th men den des. 5th. Du kommer til å forvente fyrverkeri, to målbevisste karer kaste slag prøver å vinne for to forskjellige grunner, og du kommer til å få en underholdende kamp.
“Jeg må bare la hendene mine gå og ikke har en bekymring i verden fordi når du er der inne, du er der inne, og det er ingen måte du kan gå ut med mindre du lar i en båre, hånd opp eller med uavgjort som vi gjorde i den kampen.”
JESUS ​​Cuéllar
“Jeg kommer her veldig forberedt. I know Oquendo is a tough fighter and we are not taking him lightly. Vi er klare for en 12-runde mesterskapet kampen.

“Vi vet at det vil være mye av Puerto Ricans støtte ham, men de vil ikke endre noe. De kan ikke få i ringen.

“You’re going to see a great fight på lørdag and you’re going to see Jesus Cuellar walk out of the ring a world champion.

“Jeg ønsker å kjempe de beste i divisjonen. Det er mange gode krigere, og jeg ønsker dem alle. Jeg har ingen frykt, og jeg er svært sikker på mine evner.”
JONATHAN Oquendo
“I come ready to fight. I didn’t want to take off a lot of time after I beat Jhonny Gonzalez. Muligheten for en VM-tittel skudd, og jeg måtte ta det.

“Jeg vet at han er en veldig sterk fighter, men vi kommer til å vinne. Jeg er glad for å være her i New York med den puertoricanske fanbase bak meg. Jeg trodde aldri jeg skulle være med å kjempe om en VM-tittel her i New York på den største scenen.

“Det kommer til å bli en krig. I like to stay there in the pocket. It’s going to be blood in the ring and you can expect that på lørdag.

“Jeg hadde en flott treningsleir opp i Palm Beach, Florida for første gang forlater Puerto Rico, min hjemby for opplæring, men på lørdag vil du se en stor Jonathan Oquendo og jeg skal komme ut seir.
“Jeg har trent siden etter kampen med Jhonny Gonzalez. Jeg dro til Mexico for å besøke jomfru av Guadalupe og atMandag Jeg trente og for meg var det utmerket.
“Min siste seier ga meg mye mer energi, mye mer sult og jeg vet på lørdag vi vil komme gjennom seir.
“Cuellar er en veldig sterk bokser som utøver mye press, og vi er klar for det. Vi kjenner hans rekord og den store suksessen som han har hatt. Han er den nåværende mesteren, og vil være til 5th.
“Jeg har alltid ønsket å kjempe her i New York, og jeg hadde aldri trodd at det ville være for en VM-tittel.
“Det spiller ingen rolle hvilken vei, enten det er en KO eller vedtak, på lørdag Jeg kommer til å vinne.”
CHRIS ALGIERI
“Jeg føler meg mye mer komfortabel nå med (trener) John David Jackson og har en annen leir. Vi fikk flere uker med ham, og har egentlig ikke sluttet å trene. Nå tror jeg vi kan slå seg ned i en litt mer, gjøre noen justeringer som ikke var i stand til å gjøre før, men nå føler jeg meg mye mer komfortabel.
“Å være en favoritt eller ikke endrer ikke hvordan jeg forberede seg på en kamp, ​​men absolutt, dette er kampen for sitt liv. Jeg har vært her før kjemper større navn enn meg selv, men det er bare slags livssyklusen til boksing.
“Barclays Center er mitt favorittsted å kjempe. Jeg har hatt mine beste prestasjoner her og viften støtte har alltid vært fantastisk. Så jeg gleder meg til å sette på en annen flott show.
“Barclays Center er en premiere arena og det er flott og enkelt for mine Long Island venner til å komme ut og få rett i det.
“Jeg har lært og fått mer komfortabel i ringen nå, men dette kommer til å bli en tøff kamp for å bekjempe. Alle på dette nivået er bra, så jeg er nødt til å gå ut der og utføre.
“Jeg føler meg fantastisk, Jeg føler meg sterkere, alle sier jeg ser bedre. Min makt har definitivt økt nå som jeg er i en høyere klasse, og jeg gjør vekt veldig enkelt.”
ERICK BONE
“Camp har vært sterk, det har vært stor, det har vært en av de beste leirene som jeg har hatt så langt.
“Jeg føler meg bra fordi Algieri har et stort navn. Det kommer til å bli en utfordring, men i boksing når du kommer i ringen det spiller ingen rolle hvem som kommer i første eller som kommer i sist i disse kampene. Det er ingen A og B, de er så nær.
“Det har vært veldig positivt å være her i Brooklyn for å gjøre mitt leiren og trening her. Å kunne sparre med de mange store boksere som er her, det er en positiv opplevelse.
“For fans som vil se meg på lørdag, Jeg tror at jeg er en stor bokser, og de vil se en stor kamp. De bør holde et øye med meg fordi de vil huske navnet mitt.
“Vi kommer til å bokse, og jeg opplært til å vinne, og vi er forberedt på nettopp det.”
Marcus Browne
“Du kan forvente fyrverkeri, fart, god boksing evne, men, viktigst, og W. Jeg føler at jeg er i best form av livet mitt, og jeg er klar til å sette på et bra show

“Staten Island vil komme ut for å støtte, men jeg er en New York fighter gjennom og gjennom. Hele byen vil være der å støtte meg.

“Han er høyt, kaster en rekke slag. Vi kommer til å være klar for hva han bringer. Han kan få høyre fornøyd, og vi vil være klar til å motvirke at.

“Alle som kjemper meg, de er alle kommer for min 0.
“I bokse på slutten av dagen, når du er en ung ubeseiret fighter, alle ønsker å ta det ‘0’ så det er det som gjør gutta sulten, men for meg personlig er jeg ikke bekymret for at. Jeg er bare bekymret for hva jeg skal gjøre og hva vi har jobbet med i treningsstudio for å bruke det på fight night kommer Lørdag.”
HEATHER HARDY
“Jeg hadde ingen pause under Thanksgiving, Vi gikk rett gjennom; Faktisk min mor er å ha hele familien i løpet av på søndag for Thanksgiving middag. Det kommer til å være en feiring og jeg kommer til å spise min potetmos som en god irsk jente er ment til.”
“En ting jeg kan si om min motstander er at hun kjemper som en mester kamper. Det er en annen kaliber av fighter som du går der med, og hun er ikke en quitter, hun gir ikke opp. Jeg kunne ikke skremme henne, Jeg kunne ikke presse henne rundt, og det er noe jeg har forberedt for. Hun vet hva jeg har og hun er ikke redd for å stå tå til tå med meg, så det kommer til å bli en kamp.
“Hennes talent gjør motivere meg. Det bringer noe ut av meg, og det setter på en bedre show for fansen, og det gir et bedre show for kvinnelig boksing. Holly Holm klarte ikke bevise at Ronda Rousey ikke kunne kjempe, det viste seg at mer enn en kvinne kunne bekjempe samtidig. Så, når to kvinner kan gå inn der og virkelig gå på det og gi folk et show, det er ikke bare en jente gjør en god jobb, det er to kvinner.
“Jeg ønsker å bevise at jeg er mester, at jeg er “Første dame” av Barclays Center.
“Jeg har holdt på denne seiersrekke, og jeg tror jeg er klar for mer elite jagerfly. Jeg anser meg selv for å virkelig være en kandidat på dette punktet, så jeg gleder meg til dette. Jeg vil gjerne begynne å matche opp for verden titler og alle jentene som har fått dem.
“Min trener sier alltid at det er bare fire slag i boksing, du bedre lære hvordan du gjør dem perfekt hver gang du kaster dem og de får det. Så, Jeg føler meg bra, opplevd, bare å være rundt visse ting, ikke blir overrasket av noe fordi jeg har sett det før. Alle disse tingene spiller inn på det.
“Det er surrealistisk å være i denne posisjonen. Jeg kan fortsatt ikke tro noen ganger folk sier "hei champ’ og jeg sier "hva? ja det er meg.’ Bare for å bli assosiert med dette, og hvordan folk tenker på meg, å se meg, å bli nevnt på dette kortet er en ære.”
YURI FOREMAN
“Jeg kan ikke gjøre spådommer, men jeg kan forutse at jeg kommer til å vinne.
“Jeg føler meg bra, med denne comeback jeg føler disse små sommerfugler her og der. Jeg er glad for at det er akkurat her. Opplæringen er gjort.
“Preparatet har vært stor, Jeg elsker rutine, Jeg liker å utfordre meg selv og presse meg selv til det ytterste ekstra hardt, men det er en ny følelse. Jeg prøver også å opprettholde min kul og ikke komme inn i hodet mitt.
“Det er ekstra motivasjon fordi det er så mange flotte jagerfly på dette kortet, og alle ønsker å vise frem sitt talent, inkludert meg.
“Mitt mål er å gå opp stigen, være vellykket og utfordre verdensmesteren, hvem det kan være på tide.”
WILL Rosinski
“Jeg kjenner ham fordi vi sparred mye. Jeg vet justeringene jeg måtte gjøre vi er klare for fordi vi var foran hverandre, men noen ganger du bare holde det samme spillet plan.”
“På en uke til uke basis, Jeg trener i dag og jobbe natt eller arbeid i dag og trene om natten, avhenger. På en natt tur jeg trene i morgen deretter arbeide natt-tur, gå av og gå tilbake til trening. Så, Jeg kan ikke være hjemme for og om en dag halvparten. Mitt engasjement er 100 prosent, det er ingen problemer i det hele tatt.
“Mitt mål er å kjempe for en verden tittel. Det er et felles mål i boksing. Jeg ønsker å tjene penger og nyte fruktene av mitt arbeid.
“Dette er en enkel uke, min vekt er bra. Å være på 174 er ikke for tung for meg så jeg ikke virkelig suger å gjøre vekt siste øyeblikk. Jeg veide opp i gymsalen på 173½ i går så jeg rehydrating opptil 175/176 ganske enkelt.
“Det er faktisk noen likheter mellom kampene og å være en brannmann fordi det er et kontrollert kaos som de sier. Samme ideen med kampen, du er gal i hodet ditt, men du er nødt til å holde seg kontrollert og holde på spillet plan. Hvis ditt hjørne forteller deg noe du er nødt til å ta det inn og bruke det til neste runde.”
JOE SMITH JR.
“Treningsleir har pågått virkelig stor, gjort mye sparring og mye løping. Jeg føler stor går inn i kampen, Jeg føler meg i best form av livet mitt, og jeg er klar til å sette på et bra show.
“Jeg tror ikke det er problemer virkelig at min motstander kommer til å presentere meg med, men jeg er i best form av livet mitt, så så lenge jeg la hendene mine gå det er ingenting han kan gjøre.
“Jeg er en stor puncher og jeg ønsker å kaste en masse harde slag og sette på et bra show.
“Det er en flott mulighet, det føles godt å være en del av noe sånt som dette.
“Jeg spår at det kommer til å være mye av slag kastet og mest sannsynlig på et tidspunkt i kampen jeg sannsynligvis kommer til å skade Will og få ham ut av det.”
