(L-R) – Oscar de la Hoya, Gilberto Ramirez & Bernard Hopkins



LAS VEGAS (Avgust 23, 2021) – Undefeated Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez (42-0, 28 KOs) feels he’ll get his first World light heavyweight title shot because he believes in himself, his promoter Golden Boy Promotions, and his Mexican heritage.


The former World Boxing Organization (WBO) super middleweight World champion is a leading light heavyweight contender, No trenutno ocijenjen. 2 od strane World Boxing Organization (WBO) No i. 5 od strane Međunarodne bokserske federacije (IBF), kao i broj. 9 u The Ring independent rankings for the first time in the 175-pound division.


After Ramirez’ recent knockout victory over Sullivan Barrera (22-3, 14 KOs), positioning him for a World title shot, the boxing world looked forward to “Zurdo” challenging World Boxing Association (WBA) Super Light Heavyweight Champion Dmitry Bivol later this year. Bivol had all but assured a showdown with Ramirez through social media posts, but suddenly he changed his tune and was dreaming of a match this November that isn’t going to happen against WBA and WBC Super Middleweight Champion “Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (56-1-2, 38 KOs).


The 30-year Ramirez has openly called for a fight with Bivol or either of the other World light heavyweight title holders, Artur Beterbiev (WBC/IBF) i Joe Smith, Jr. (WBO), whose rumored unification fight doesn’t appear to be on the horizon.


U međuvremenu, all three reigning World light heavyweight champions have gone dark, at least in terms of fighting Ramirez. Is “Zurdo” too risky for them, or are they just hesitant to fight a proven Mexican challenger?


“I leave my opponents to my promoter, Golden Boy, and its matchmaker, Robert Diaz,” Ramirez explained. “They’re aware of what I want, and I trust they are diligent and will do whatever is best for me. Kao borac, I’ve been clear that all the World light heavyweight champs are on my hit list; and I don’t retract my statement or shy away from the fights as most of them have. In this world, all I have are my word and balls, and I don’t break ‘em for anyone. I fight not just for myself, but for my pride and the spirit of Mexican people. We are proud of our heritage and have been the best fighters. Russians know I will take out both Bivol and Beterbiev; Joe Smith, Jr. is just an appetizer.”


“Canelo” and Julio Cesar Gonzalez (2003) are the only native Mexicans to be crowned World Light Heavyweight Champions, but everybody in boxing knows Mexican boxers are called warriors for a good reason.


“I think they’re all reluctant to fight a Mexican light heavyweight like me,” Ramirez added. “There’s a reason why Bivol is retracting his statement and staying quiet after all his social media antics. If he was serious, it’s an easy fight to make, and he knows it (both fighters have fought on DAZN). I’m also hearing (Joshua) Buatsi’s name in the mix, but I would absolutely destroy him. All these guys talk the talk but rarely walk the walk. I am a Mexican warrior; everybody knows the way we are built!"


Other potential contenders in the mix, excluding the reigning world champions, may include Badou Jack, Eleider Alvarez, Maxim Vlasov (Ramirez defeated him as super middleweights), i Lyndon Arthur.

“My time will come, Ramirez concluded. “I know Golden Boy is working hard on making this a reality and when that time comes, all these guys will have nowhere to run or hide. I leave who I fight next up to my matchmaker, Robert Diaz. I trust that Golden Boy will do whatever is best for my career.


“I’m not frustrated, this is part of the process. I’m a veteran in this game. Many will talk, but they will fall when it’s time to act. Opet, I trust Golden Boy will do what has been promised and I look forward to what fight they will present me with.”

LOS ANGELES (Jun 28, 2021) – Undefeated former WBO Super Middleweight Champion and Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez (41-0, 27 KOs), currently a highly ranked light heavyweight contender, will have a lot on the line July 9th against world light heavyweight title challenger Sullivan Barrera (22-3, 14 KOs), including world title fight implications and, ultimately, his boxing legacy,

Zurdo vs. Barrera, presented by Golden Boy Promotions, will be streamed exclusively on DAZN, live from Banc of California Stadium, home of the Los Angeles Football Club (pro soccer), located in downtown Los Angeles.

To get a world light heavyweight title shot against any of the reigning champions – WBC & IBF Artur Beterbiev (16-0 (16 KOs), WBA Super Dmitry Bivol (18-0, 11 KOs) or WBO Joe Smith (27-3, 21 KOs) – Barrera stands in Ramirez’ way in the 12-round Zurdo vs. Barrera Main Event. Ramirez is ranked No. 3 by the WBA and WBO, kao i broj. 5 po IBF.

“That’s what the fans want but I’m not sure if these fighters are ready for me,” Ramirez boldly said about Beterbiev, Bivol and Smith. “I wasn’t impressed by any of the three in their recent bouts. They can run as much as they want, but they can’t hide forever. I know I’m the best in the division and, sooner or later, I will be snatching each of the belts and taking their souls one by one.”

Ramirez, koji je nedavno okrenuo 30 (Jun 19), was the first Mexican fighter to capture a world super middleweight title, which he relinquished in 2019 to move up to the light heavyweight division, in which he is 2-0 (2 KOs) having defeated Tommy Karpency(29-6-1) i Alphonso Lopez (32-3) last December to capture the North American Boxing Federation (NABF) crown.

A decorated Cuban amateur boxer (285-27 rekord), 39-year-old Barrera defeated future pro world champions such as Chad Dawson,
Shumenov Beibu i Mariano Natalio Carrera prior to defecting from Cuba to Miami and turning pro.

Barrera, fighting out of Cuba by way of Miami, je 3-3 vs. past or present world champions with victories against Jeff Lacy (WTKO4), Karo Murat (WKO12) iFelix Valera (WDEC10), losing to Bivol (TKO12), Kovač (DEC10), and Hall of FamerAndre Ward (Decembar 12).

“I always expect the best from my opponents,” Ramirez noted. “Barrera is a professional and I know he will be ready when the lights are on. He displayed that he’s a strong fighter when he beat and broke Joe Smith, Jr.’s jaw in their bout. A victory for Barrera can resurge his career and alter my path; tako, I prepare for the best version of Barrera, and I will not let anything deter my goals.

“I’ve been working hard. There’s new stuff I’ve been fine tuning and I can’t wait to showcase it July 9th. Come fight night, I know all my hard work will pay off.”

“Zurdo” fighting for his legacy, 41-0 Gilberto Ramirez on mission to join elusive 50-0 club

Ostavite komentar

LAS VEGAS (Maj 19, 2021) – Only five boxers have started their professional careers with a 50-fight win streak and the contemporary leader, 41-0 Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez is on a mission to join the exclusive club, continuing July 9th in Los Angeles againstSullivan Barrera (22-3, 14 KOs). 

Ramirez, who recently signed an exclusive promotional contract withOscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions, was the first Mexican-born super middleweight World champion, and he is currently the No. 3 rated light heavyweight in the world, od strane World Boxing Association (WBA) i Svjetska organizacija Boxing (WBO). 

Although he won’t turn 30 until June 19, Ramirez has been fighting professionally for nearly 12 godina, and one of his goals is to become a World champion in two different weight classes. Another is joining his idol and fellow Mexican, Julio Cesar Chavez u 50-0 Klub, in which he is No. 1 having amazingly won his first 87 pro fights. The first blemish on his pro record was a 12-round majority draw with the greatPernell Whitaker u 1993 in their WBC World welterweight title fight.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

BOXING’S 50-0 CLUB

  1. Julio “J.C. Cesar Chavez 87 (13 KOs)    1980-1993       Meksiko
  2. Willie “Wil ‘o The Wisp” Pep 62 (23 KOs)    1940-1943       SAD
  3. Wanheng Menayothin 54 (18 KOs)    2009-2019       Tajland
  4. Carlos “Canas” Zarate 52 (51 KOs)    1970-1978       Meksiko
  5. Floyd "Money" Mayweather, Jr. 50 (27 KOs)    1996-2017       SAD

    _____________________________________________________________________________________

    “Getting to 50-0 is very important, but I’m more interested in being able to fight the fights the fans want,” Ramirez said. “I’ve never turned down a fight and have made it clear to all the fighters I want. I look across the division and none of these fighters are on my level”

    Chavez moved ahead of featherweight iconWill Pepu 62, Nemoj. 2 on the contemporary list, compiled in less than three years dating back to the 1940’s. Pep lost for the first time as a pro toSammy Angott by 10-round decision in 1943.

    Thailand mini-flyweightWanheng Menayothin, originally a Muay Thai fighter, had his streak snapped last November at 54 poPanya Pradabsri. 

    Another Mexican boxer is in the 50-0 Klub, Nemoj. 4 Carlos Zarate, who reached 52 straight victories off his pro debut, 51 nokautom, in the 1970’s. Zarate was stopped in his 53rd fight by Puerto Rican starWilfredo Gomez in the fifth round of their 1978 WBC super bantamweight World championship match.

    The only member of the exclusive 50-0 Club to retire undefeated is Floyd “Money” Mayweather, Jr. in fifth place with 50.

    The four inactive boxers in the club – Chavez, Pep, Zarate, and Mayweather – are inducted in the International Boxing Hall of Fame.

    Rocky Marciano iBrian Nielson (49), Larry Holmes (48), Ricardo Lopez (47), Joe Calzaghe (46-0) iJim Barry (45) all came close to 50-0 memberships. Lopez (51-0-1) fought a draw in his 48th pro fight withRosendo Alvarez. 

    Ramirez is closing in on boxing history as he fights for his legacy. Five years after he retires, “Zurdo” should rightfully join the four Hall of Famers who are presently ahead of him on the 50-Club list.

RENO, Nev. (Maj 9, 2019) — Boxing’s preeminent action superhero, Oscar Valdez, will make the sixth defense of his WBO featherweight world title Saturday, Jun 8 against the upset-minded Jason “El Alacrancito” Sanchez at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center.

Gabriel Flores Jr. (13-0, 6 KOs), fresh off his third-round knockout over Eduardo Pereira Reis in front of more than 10,000 fans in his hometown of Stockton, Kalifornija, will see action on the undercard.

Promoted by Top Rank, in association with Let’s Get It On Promotions and Atlantis Casino Resort Spa, tickets for this world championship event priced at $103, $68 i $43 (including facility fees) are on sale now and can be purchased via Ticketmaster.com or in person at the Atlantis Casino Resort Spa gift shop.

“Jason Sanchez is the real ‘Cinderella Man,’” said Top Rank chairman Bob Arum. “He is young, hungry and capable of pulling off a major upset. It should be an exciting battle.”

“I’m excited to be back in the ring for the sixth defense of my world title. I know there is a big target on my back because I’m the champion, but nobody is going to take this title away from me,” Valdez said. “This will be my second fight training with Eddy Reynoso. Training with Eddy, I feel the best I’ve ever felt. I felt great in the ring during my first fight with Eddy in my corner. I know that I will look even better this time out. The fans in Reno and watching on ESPN and ESPN Deportes can expect a great showing from me on June 8.”

“I am truly honored and blessed to have an opportunity like this,” Sanchez said. “Coming from Albuquerque, New Mexico, I knew I had to work extra hard to be noticed and to get where I’m at right now. I will be bringing this belt home to Albuquerque, to my family, my supporters, and most of all, my late brother Alan Sanchez. I believe he guided me down this road and that my journey is only beginning.”

Valdez (25-0, 20 KOs), Mexico’s first two-time Olympian, has thrilled boxing fans with his go-for-broke style. He won the WBO featherweight title in July 2016 and proved his mettle with a trio of 12-round bloodbaths against Miguel Marriaga, Genesis Servania and Scott Quigg in consecutive bouts. Valdez outlasted an over-the-weight Quigg last March by unanimous decision despite fighting more than half the bout with a severely broken jaw. Following the Quigg bout, Valdez took nearly a year off, returning Feb. 2 in Frisco, Teksas, to knock out then-unbeaten Italian challenger Carmine Tommasone in the seventh round.

The 24-year-old Sanchez (14-0, 7 KOs) enters this championship fight as one of the featherweight division’s fastest-rising young guns. Last October, he stunned then-unbeaten Jean Carlos Rivera via unanimous decision in Panama City, Panama. Following the Rivera victory, Sanchez signed a long-term promotional contract with Top Rank. He impressed in his Top Rank debut Feb. 2 in Frisco, Teksas, knocking out Daniel Olea in the second round. Sanchez hopes to become only the fifth men’s boxer from New Mexico to win a world title.

Barrera (22-2, 14 KOs), a former Cuban amateur standout, defected to the United States in 2009 and turned pro later that year. The Miami-based bruiser won the first 17 bouts of his career before dropping a decision to pound-for-pound great Andre Ward. A perennial contender, Barrera holds victories over Joe Smith Jr., Vyacheslav Shabranskyy, Karo Murat and former super middleweight world champion Jeff Lacy. He challenged Dmitry Bivol for a light heavyweight world title last year and fought valiantly before being stopped in the 12th i završni krug.

Seals (22-2, 16 KOs), a former linebacker for Alabama A&M University, traded in his cleats for trunks and turned pro after a five-fight amateur career. Bio je 19-0 when he clashed with Edwin Rodriguez in November 2015. In a seesaw battle that included five knockdowns, Rodriguez knocked out Seals in the third round of a Fight of the Year contender. Seals is 3-1 since the Rodriguez battle, the lone loss coming via disqualification after he hit his opponent while he was on the ground. The winner of this can’t-miss action fight will be in line for a potential world title opportunity.

“I am very excited to have signed with Top Rank, a world-class organization with the best light heavyweights in the world,” Barrera said. “I am excited about the future, but the first step is to handle business June 8 and then I can look forward to a shot at a world title. My ultimate goal is Sergey Kovalev. I’ve been chasing him my whole career. Nadajmo se, we can finally fight this year.”

“This means everything to me. I had a great opportunity with Edwin Rodriguez, but I went into that fight with a torn rotator cuff. I was basically fighting with just my right hand,” Seals said. “Sada, Ja sam 100 percent healthy. Ovo je moje vreme. Barrera had his time. I feel good. I feel sharp. I feel young. I have sacrificed so much and have had a lot of time to reflect on the decisions I’ve made and all of the hardships I’ve gone through. Juna 8, I’m going to unleash all of my frustration on Barrera. I don’t want to take anything away from Barrera. He’s a world-class fighter, but I am as well.”

Promoter Yvon Michel sets record straight about Cancelled Beterbiev-Barrera IBF title eliminator

Nobody wants to fight undefeated light heavyweight contender Artur Beterbiev (R)
(Photo by Vincent Ethier)
MONTREAL (Mart 13, 2017 – Groupe Yvon Michel (GYM) predsjednik Yvon Michel has responded accordingly to unfounded allegations recently made in the media by Sullivan Barrera about GYM and its undefeated world light heavyweight contender, Artur Beterbiev, to set the record straight regarding the recently announced cancelled Beterbiev-Barrera International Boxing Federation (IBF) light heavyweight title eliminator.
“Despite Barrera’s claims,” Michel insisted, “he didn’t sign a contract because he never intended for fight Artur. In Team Barrera’s letter, he lied and showed his ignorance trying to distract from the facts.
“For the conclusion of this unfortunate saga, the IBF has informed me that it has ruled to ban Barrera from its world rankings, or from participating in one of its sanctioned fights, for the next six months. I’ve also been informed that, if nobody in the IBF top 10 is available and agrees to fight Artur, the IBF will declare him as its No. 1 mandatory challenger for the winner of the Ward-Kovalev rematch. Artur will be back in the ring in late April, early May. The mandatory defense for the Ward-Kovalev II winner, or Ward if that fight doesn’t happen, is due in September.”
JaBF Light Heavyweight Ratings: Prvak – Andre Ward, 1. Unrated, 2. Artur Beterbiev, 3. Sergey Kovalev, 4. Erik Skoglund, 5. Enrico Kolling, 6. SUSPENDED, 7. Oleksandr Gvozdyk, 8. Dominic Bosel , 9. Robert Stieglitz, 10. Trent Broadhurst.
Ispod, Michel sets the record straight, point-by-point, in terms of the open letter Team Barrera sent to the media.
Michel didn’t negotiate with Barrera’s promoter, Kathy Duva, and asked for it to go to an immediate purse bid.
“Kathy Duva (CEO/Main Events) came to my office the day before the deadline set for Barrera’s acceptance to participate in the IBF title eliminator to speak about the situation. Our hope was to fight Barrera but because he is prohibited from traveling to Canada, I confirmed our intention with Ms. Duva to accommodate Barrera and leave Canada and make the fight in the United States. We were in the same position a year ago, when Barrera pulled out of the same title eliminator because he couldn’t get a visa to fight in Canada. Artur was then supposed to fight Karo Murat, but he suffered an injury and was unable to fight. Barrera later defeated Murat to move into the IBF mandatory position in which he then lost to Andre Ward.
“Kathy told me the number she had in mind to make the fight. I said that I would see if there were enough resources for that amount and promised to call her the following day. I did and explained that there weren’t enough resources to meet that purse structure. Ipak, not long after I received confirmation Barrera was officially taking the challenge, I then decided to move forward and immediately requested a purse bid date, which is the prerogative of any promoter, knowing what was Main Events’ expectation in terms of their fighter’s purse. In this business, everybody knows the best way to determine the true market value of a fight is a purse bid, where promoters are evaluating their resources and making their bid accordingly. We still had still seven days to make an offer, one and other, and make a deal up to five minutes before the bid was due. Main Events never made us an offer and neither did we.”
GYM’s winning purse bid was $251,000, substantially more than Main Events’ bid of $182,000, of which Beterbiev would receive 75-percent of the winning bid. Barrera would have received $62,750, compared to $45,500 he would have earned if his own promoter had won the bid.
Beterbiev reported on social media that his fight versus Barrera would be held March 4th u Brooklyn, New York and Michel reported that the fight would be held in late March, early April, u New Yorku. Barrera had trained for those dates but didn’t receive a contract.
“GYM won the purse and pursuant to IBF rules and regulations, the fight had to be held within 30 u 90 dani,” Michel continued. “We deposited $50,000, per IBF rules, and received a confirmation letter from the IBF all was conform. As per IBF regulations, unutar 15 dani after the purse bid, we filed contracts for the two fighters. Artur signed his five minutes after he received the contract and it was then sent to the IBF. We executed Barrera’s contract, sending it to Main Events for Barrera with a copy sent to the IBF. Soon after I received notice from the IBF that everything was in order and that we had complied with the IBF requirements.”
Michel sent an improper agreement to Main Event listing various dates.
“We knew we had a PBC date, ili April 14, 21 ili 29. It’s very common for fight dates written in the initial fighter contract to vary one week before or after the date listed. I contacted IBF president Daryl Peoples and said April 21st was the most likely date but that it could end up being a week earlier or after. He recommended to be transparent and to write all three potential dates into the contract. We did and then sent it to Main Events for Barrera to sign. Main Events noted that IBF rules said only one date and site could be written in the contract. Daryl complied with the objection so we then officially confirmed April 21st would be the date of the fight and Florida the site. We then sent a GYM executed corrected IBF bout agreement back to Main Events to be signed by Barrera and filed with the IBF on February 16th.
“U međuvremenu, GYM received a request, from Main Event to produce a Provision of Service agreement for Barrera’s participation. GYM was not obliged to positively fulfill that request but, as a display of good faith, we did so in belief the contract that Barrera would sign and Main Events would file it at the IBF office, on that date, as per its rules. Soon after, GYM received a letter from IBF championship chairman, Mr. Lindsey Tucker, that all requirements had been fulfilled to officially sanction the bout.”
The Florida location for the fight had been selected by GYM for three reasons. 1. Beating Barrera in his own backyard would send strong message for Beterbiev within the division; 2. GYM had received an offer from Miami-based SMY Sports and Entertainment’s president M. Eric Senecal, who wanted the buy the rights to produce the event; 3. GYM’S longtime and very close relationship with Florida-based Warriors Promotions, Mr. Leon Margules.
On behalf of GYM, Margules had reserved the April 21st date with the Florida Athletic Commission. SMY Sports & Entertainments made a deal with GYM that had a deadline to deposit the agreed upon money guarantee. They had reserved the Seminole Hard Rock arena in Fort Lauderdale. If SMY was not able to deliver money and site, GYM had a backup plan, proposed by Margules, who had a deal and a site on hold, Hialeah Racetrack in nearby Hollywood (FL). No matter what would transpire, the fight was guaranteed at a site in Florida, April 21st for a PBC event to be televised on FS1.
Barrera’s manager was contacted by one of the promoters to help pay Yvon Michel and finance the bout.
“This is a tortuous claim and a terrible lie,” Michel said. “Nobody representing GYM ever made that kind of request. The truth is a local promoter, M. Michael Luzbet, whom I’d never met and never made any deals of any sorts with in the past, wanted to be a partner with SMY Sports and Entertainments. He tried to raise his share of money to participate but SMY rapidly disassociated themselves from Michael Luzbet.
“How the group (SMY) was raising money wasn’t really my concern, but they had found sponsors and were counting on the important Quebec community residing in Florida at that time of the year, as well as the important Cuban population and their contacts with the Russian community, to sell VIP tables and tickets. It wanted the rights to put the show on in Florida but they were concerned because they had heard a rumor that Barrera hadn’t signed a contract and he was going to pull out of the fight.
They then requested a guarantee that Barrera (who lives in Miami) was going to fight before confirming their money deposit. I was in Quebec City at that time for the Alvarez-Bute fight. Mr. Lindsey Tucker was there representing the IBF and I spoke to him. He said he believed the IBF had received a signed contract from Barrera. I contacted SYM to say everything was fine and that I had requested a copy (of the Barrera-signed contract) from Lindsey. Daryl People then informed me that there was a misunderstanding and they did not have a signed contract from Barrera. It is only then I realized Main Events had pressured Barrera to sign the agreement without success. We asked the IBF president to pressure Main Events to have Barrera sign the contract because, without it, we were jammed in the promotion of the event. This is exactly what happened.”
Team Barrera implied that Yvon Michel couldn’t promote a show of this magnitude in the U.S.
“I’ve promoted more than 200 shows, never defaulting or cancelling a single show, including involvement in more than 50 world championship fights and many multi-million dollars events, much bigger than this title eliminator. This statement just shows his ignorance about what we’re all about and who we are and was just smoke screen to his behavior. I’ve promoted shows with the majority of the major promoters in the world; DiBella Entertainment, Warriors Promotions, Don King Promotions, Golden Boy, Main Events… just about everybody. It was unbelievable for them to write such an impertinent line.”
Team Barrera unjustly belittled the quality of Beterbiev’s last two opponents, calling them cow farmers from Argentina.
“This is terrible to be so insolent to fellow world contenders. Both fighters were world ranked in the top 15 u to vrijeme. (Ezequiel Osvaldo) Maderna (23-2, 16 KOs) had never been knocked out and (Isidro) Prieto (26-1-3, 22 KOs) had suffered only one loss, a decision to the WBC #1 contender Eleider Alvarez. Beterbiev knocked them both out (Maderna in the fourth round, Prieto in the first), so downgrading the quality of Artur’s 2016 opponents was totally unwarranted. If Barrera ever actually got into the ring with Beterbiev, he would have fallen into the same category as Maderna and Prieto, who were both fierce competitors but not in the same league of Beterbiev.”
Michel firmly believes Barrera never intended to fight Beterbiev for his share of the purse bid and, to cover up, he tried to place the blame on others. His promoter spent time and money for the bid at the request of its fighter, Barrera, believing he had a legitimate chance of winning the fight. It is obvious that sentiment was not shared by Barrera, even if the fight was to be held in his own backyard in Florida.
“The truth of this matter is that Barrera lied to distract media attention from the fact he didn’t sign a contract and clearly wanted no part of Beterbiev,” Michel concluded. “We don’t disrespect any contender who prefers not to challenge Artur Beterbiev for the mandatory position. We also believed that Main Events did everything in its power to convince their fighter to keep his words and to go forward with the fight. Main Events is not at blame. We also have respect for Barrera’s fighting abilities but we have no respect for the person Barrera is with his despicable, unprofessional, shameful and disgraceful attitude in handling the present situation.
“On a personal note, I have never met Sullivan Barrera. I never had to directly communicate with him, I never had to do business with him, everything went through his promoter, Main Events, and I really don’t envy them! Uskoro, GYM will have two light heavyweight world champions and I can guarantee Barrera will never be in their plans.
“We’ve moved on from Sullivan Barrera to find an opponent who has the desire to step into the ring to fight Artur Beterbiev. While Barrera will still be suspended by the IBF, Beterbiev will be World Champion!”
Beterbiev, a two-time Russian Olympian, holds two amateur victories over his fellow countryman, Kovalev, the former world light heavyweight champion. Whether it’s Kovalev or Ward, Artur Beterbiev will be more than ready for the challenge to fight for the world light heavyweight championship this September.

Ward vs. Barrera je oblikovanje do biti veoma sporne borbe između dva borca ​​koji su obojica su svoje znamenitosti postaviti na utakmici-up protiv Unified Light Heavyweight svjetski prvak Sergej Kovalev.

 

Ispod je ono što borci, promoteri, trenera, menadžeri i drugi podijum gosti morali reći na konferenciji za novinare:

 

 

ANDRE WARD, Dva puta svjetski prvak i funte-za-pound borac top-ocijenjeno::

"Želim da se zahvalim svima što ste došli kao i obično. Bay Area je prekrasan mjesto. Mi često ne dobiju dovoljno kredita za talent koji dolazi odavde, ali za bazu fanova, to je ogroman. Ja sam samo zahvalan što iz mjesta kao što je ovaj i zahvalni da imaju ljubav i podršku u svakom slučaju da mi donosimo ovdje. Zahvalna sam da ja i momci kao Marshawn Lynch, Damian Lillard i Warriors stavi ovo mjesto na karti i ljudi uzimaju najave na nacionalnoj sceni. To je jako važno za mene.

 

"Što se tiče same borbe, to je vrlo jednostavno za mene ... neko ko me poznaje, oni znaju kako radim i znaju kako označiti. Ja ne uhvate u šta je sledeće. Ja ne uhvate se u ono što ljudi govore. Ja sam svjestan onoga što je rečeno. Znam šta je govorio moj protivnik i ja da ga na njegovu riječ. Uradio sam sve što sam trebao da uradim, kao i uvek i kao da sam uradio poslednji 10 godina moje karijere. Uzeo sam na najbolji ... ako to nije još jedan šampion onda je to glavni kandidat ... a to se ne razlikuje. Vi samo znam da sam fokusiran i zaključani u kao što sam uvijek sam. Spreman sam i spreman sam za rat dolaze Mart 26."

SULLIVAN BARRERA, Broj jedan ocijenio IBF poluteškoj kandidat:

"Htio sam da kažem hvala što ste došli ovamo. Želim da se zahvalim HBO, hvala svima. Hvala Andre Ward prihvatili moja borba. Obećavam svima koji dolazi u arenu da sam imao veliku pripremu i ovo je veliki san. Te noći, Ja ću imati veliki šou za sve. "

DAVID ITSKOWITCH, COO Boks - Roc Nation Sports:

"Dva vrha svjetlo teškaša na planeti će se sudariti na Mart 26. Oni zajedno imaju evidenciju 45-0 sa 27 Kosa i nepotrebno je reći, niti je probao poraz kao profesionalni. Iako svaki muškarac ima impresivan protivnik ispred njega, obojica imaju svoje oči na Sergej Kovalev i njegova tri svjetska naslova pojasevi, ali prvo moraju poslovanja da prisustvuju na u subotu noć.

 

"Kad god sam izaći na Oakland za događaj, a ja sam sa Andre na funkciju na kojoj on govori za medije, To me da udari očigledno, on je poseban talent atletski, ali on je i posebna osoba i nadam se da su svi ovdje u Oakland razumije i cijeni da. On je principijelan porodičan čovjek koji uvijek pokušava učiniti pravu stvar, a to je nešto što je rijetkost u životu ovih dana, ali je posebno rijedak u sportu. Nadam se da mu zahvalan. Boks karijere ne traju zauvijek. On neće biti zauvijek borbi, tako da svako treba cijeniti ono što imate ovdje u Andre Ward.

 

"Andre zarobljeni zlatnu medalju na Olimpijskim igrama u Atini i zadnji U.S. boxer da su učinili. Njegova lista poraženih neprijatelja čita kao ko je ko u super srednjoj kategoriji. On je dominirao i nokautirao bivšeg poluteškoj kategoriji svjetski prvak, Chad Dawson u njihovim 2012 Showdown. U svojoj zadnjoj borbi, on je dominirao dva puta svjetska naslova Challenger Paul Smith Jun 20 Oracle Arena. On se upušta u narednom poglavlju u karijeri na Mart 26, ponovo vraća u Oracle Areni, kao što je čini njegov potez do svjetlo teškoj kategoriji spreman učiniti ono što je učinio u super srednjoj kategoriji ... to čistila i dominira svima koji stoji na putu. "

NICOLE DOVE, Potpredsjednik marketinga i generalni savjetnik - Main Event:

"Zaista bih da se zahvalim Andre Ward. On nije imao da se na neporažen borac u svom prvom borbi u poluteškoj kategoriji, ali je to učinio i mislim da je za svaku pohvalu.

 

"U svojoj zadnjoj borbi, Sullivan je postao obavezan kandidat za Sergej Kovalev je IBF pojas. Mogao je da se zavali i čekao svoju titulu borbu, ali umjesto toga je vidjeli borbu protiv Andre Ward kao priliku da se zaista postigne za veličinu i on to uradio. Kao što svi znamo, Glavni Događaji i Roc Nation Sports imaju velike planove za Andre Ward i Sergej Kovalev kasnije ove godine i Sullivan Barrera mogu stvarno uzrujan da korpu jabuka.

 

"Oba muškarca, Sullivan i Andre, su sve jahanje na ishod Subotu borba. U klimi koje imamo sada u boksu, to je osvježavajuće da vidi pravi ratnici koji se ne boje da rizikuju. Obojica su zaslužuju naše poštovanje i divljenje za to. To je ono što naš sport treba da bude oko.

 

"Sullivan Barrera je neporažen sa rekordnih 17-0 sa 12 osvaja dolazak putem nokautom. On je samo okrenuo 34, prije mjesec dana, što možda mislite je malo star za ovom trenutku u svojoj karijeri. Ono što možda ne znate je da je imao uspješnu amaterske karijere na Kubi, a zatim izgubili nekoliko godina svog premijera dok je bez mana u Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama. Došao je jako dug put da bi danas ovdje na ovaj trenutak i ovu priliku. On je gladan, On je uvjeren i da je spreman. "

Oakland je plodno tlo za vrhunske borce, a mi ih već imamo. Što više da nas podržavaju, više da će ove borbe postati vidljivi i vidjet ćete veliki put na vrhu.

Nakon Shadowboxing u ringu i nekoliko metaka na probijanje vrećice, sva četiri borci učestvovali u razgovorima sa članovima medija prisutnih. Super Bowl prvak i Oakland native Marshawn Lynch, strastveni Andre Ward navijač, je poseban izgled tokom treninga u podršci Ward.

 

Ispod je ono što borci morali reći tokom završnog medija treninga:

 

ANDRE WARD, Dva puta svjetski prvak i funte-za-pound borac top-ocijenjeno::

"Osećam se dobro i spreman sam da idem. Na vrhuncu sam u pravo vreme. Ja sam samo uzbuđen da ga u subotunoć.

 

"Nekada sam voziti Oracle Areni 880 kao klinac na putu do kralja teretana i čudo ako bih mogao to napraviti tamo jednog dana i [trener] Virgil [Lovac] koristi za reći sa sigurnošću, 'Ti ćeš naslov tamo. "Kao što sam stariji, Sam da idem na neke od karata stavio na u areni. I dalje sam bio amater i ja bih samo sanjati. Sljedeća stvar koju znam, u 2009, Bio sam u sudoper ili plivati ​​borbu protiv Edison Miranda. Ako sam osvojio, bilo je vjerojatno dobra šansa da ću dobiti priliku za titulu, a ostalo je istorija. Evo nas opet, to je moj 7th vrijeme Oracle i to je uvijek blagoslov.

 

"To je pravo vrijeme da se presele u poluteškoj kategoriji. To je kombinacija nemaju pravo momci da se bori ili momci koji nije želio da me se borim. Želim biti super. Ove su vrste poteza morate napraviti. Ja sam student sporta i kada sam proučavam sport, to je ono što velikani su uvijek radili. Oni napredovati. Veliki oni pronaći način da se to uradi i ja želim da budem u tom razgovoru.

 

"Barrera je veliki tijelo. On je uvjeren. Izgleda da je dobar udarač. Nismo ga pokupi, jer on je mekan na dodir. izabrali smo ga jer je hteo da me spreman i pokaži mi šta je ovo težina klase je sve o. Ako pogledate moju karijeru, tu je mjesto za podešavanje-up koji nisam imao puno. Želiš da se bore najbolje i ako se ne bore najbolji, želite da se bori broj jedan kandidat. To je ono što mi radimo.

 

"Mislim da sam se razvija u efikasan borac. Selim kad moram da idem. Mislim da je ljepota svakog sportiste koji ne zloupotrebljava njegovo tijelo i zaista se svog zanata ozbiljno. Vidio sam neke članke tvrde da propustio premijera. To je ludo za mene. Osećam da sam kao dobar kao što sam ikada bio. Ja sam bio u boksu teretani bez mnogo pauze za prošlost 20 godina. Moj mozak mi se zahvalio za posljednje dvije godine. Moje tijelo mi se zahvalio. Moglo bi mi još dvije godine u mojoj karijeri.

 

"Moram samo biti ja. Tko sam je dovoljno. Ne moram da se pojavi za Kovalev u publici u subotunoć. Samo treba da sprovede plan igre. Mislim da će poslati poruku da treba da pošalju i ako se to ne desi, Onda će [Kovalev] dobiti poruku kada se borimo.

 

"Ako ne pobijediti ovu borbu, ne postoji ništa niz put. Ako ne pobijediti ovu borbu, Ja ne zaslužuju da se bori za titulu. To je realnost moju situaciju.

 

"Barrera nikada nije borio Muškarac poput mene prije, tako da mogu govoriti dobra igra. Oni mogu dominirati naslove koji su doveli do borbe. Oni mogu reći sve glatke stvari žele reći. Mi samo želimo da dominira naslovima Nedjelja jutro nakon borbe je gotova. To je ono što sam fokusiran na ".

 

SULLIVAN BARRERA, Broj jedan ocijenio IBF poluteškoj kandidat:

"Ja sam jači od Ward. Imam kubanski pozadinu i puno vještina sam naučio tamo. Više od svega, odlučnost da se prevaziđu ništa ispred mene će mi pomoći da pobjedi Ward na Mart 26.

 

"Kada sam u ringu, to je moja kuća.

 

"Šta god Ward ima, Ja ću prilagoditi ga i prevazići.

 

"Imam dvije ruke. On ima dvije ruke. Imam posla na Mart 26.

 

"Znam Ward i Kovalev su vrlo visoko poštuju i oni stvaraju mnogo novca i mnogo interesa, ali oni ne znaju šta Sullivan Barrera je u stanju da uradi. Ja ću dokazati da u subotu.

 

"Nisam baš Muškarac koji ima tražiti nokaut. Moja boks vještine govore sami za sebe. Ja se borim Andre Ward i bori ovdje u Oakland, tako da ne mislim da je odluka će biti donesena u moju korist.

 

"Za sve ljubitelje, posebno kubanski navijači koji su podržali mene znajte da dolazi Subota, Ja ću učiniti sve što treba da uradim da izađe kao pobednik. "

JOSEPH DIAZ JR., NABF Featherweight Champion:

"Ne mogu očekivati ​​šta Jayson uradio Ronny Rios tokom ove borbe. Moram da idem tamo, testirati ga i prilagoditi kada sam u ringu.

 

"Ako se ukaže prilika u kojoj je povređen i vidim da mi udarci su mu preplavljuju, onda naravno da ću se tamo, biti agresivni i pobrinite uzimam ga što je prije moguće.

 

"Znam sve unutra, odsekavši prsten i uzimajući ga u tijelo odmah će ga srušiti. To će da ga ne kreću koliko i kasnije u rundama mogu sletjeti začarani udaraca u glavu. Ja ću da ga u tijelu odmah.

 

"Psihički sam 100% spreman. Ovo je veliki korak u mojoj karijeri, pa sam mentalno fokusiran. Ja sam dobro pripremljen. Osjećam se kao da je ovo trenutak sam čekao cijeli svoj čitav život. Osjećam se kao da sam spreman za to i ne mogu čekati Mart 26. Trenirao sam jako teško za ovu borbu i da sam dobro pripremljeni za to.

 

"Zaista želim da dam izjavu ovu borbu. Želim pokazati svijetu da Joseph Diaz mogao biti sljedeći velika stvar u boksu, tako da sam trenirao jako teško staviti na veliku borbu za fanove borbu, biti vrlo agresivan i da ga je rat tamo. Nadam se da Jayson Velez je 110% spreman jer želim da bude na njegov najbolji.

 

"Ako sam pobijediti ovu borbu i da se izjasni, Mislim da mogu preći na status kandidat i nadamo se dobiti titulu pucao do kraja ove godine. Želim da ove godine boriti teška protivnika jer želim pokazati svijetu ko sam.

 

"Osjećam se kao zvijer kad sam korak u ring i ja da ga vidim u sparing. Kad god sam landing efikasan udaraca, Ja mogu reći da sam boli moj protivnik. "

Jayson VELEZ, Najbolje ocijenjeno: pero kandidat:

"Na moj nivo, svaki tip je glavni kandidat. Moram da treniram jače i poboljšati moju odbranu. Radio sam na tome.

 

"Ako vidite moje posljednje tri ili četiri borbe, vidjet ćete da sam bio dominiraju u prvih nekoliko kola, a onda sam ostao bez plina, Ja sam radio na mom izdržljivost, tako da se neće dogoditi na Mart 26.

 

"Vidio sam Diaz tuče. Mi smo se nadmeću nekoliko puta. Ima brzinu. Ima gladi. To je njegova HBO debi, tako da je definitivno motivisan, ali tako sam. To će biti velika borba.

 

"Želim biti prvak riječi. Znam da to želi previše. U subotu, ćemo znati ko želi više. Oboje želimo osvojiti i oboje smo obuku za pobjedu. Borba između snaga i brzina je odličan meč-up. Da ne spominjem da je meksički i ja sam Portorikanac. Možete očekivati ​​veliku borbu i to ne onaj koji želite da propustite. "
