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



LAS VEGAS (August 23, 2021) – Võitmatu 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, Praegu hinnatud Ei. 2 Maailma Boxing Organization (WBO) ja nr. 5 by the International Boxing Federation (IBF), samuti nr. 9 sisse 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) ja Joe Smith, Jr. (WBO), whose rumored unification fight doesn’t appear to be on the horizon.


Vahepeal, 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. Nagu võitleja, 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), ja 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. Uuesti, I trust Golden Boy will do what has been promised and I look forward to what fight they will present me with.”

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

Jäta kommentaar

LAS VEGAS (Mai 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, Maailma Boxing Association (WBA) ja World Boxing Organization (WBO). 

Although he won’t turn 30 until June 19, Ramirez has been fighting professionally for nearly 12 aastat, 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 aastal 50-0 Klubi, 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 sisse 1993 in their WBC World welterweight title fight.

BOXING’S 50-0 CLUB

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

    _____________________________________________________________________________________

    “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 Pepjuures 62, Ära. 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 pooltPanya Pradabsri. 

    Another Mexican boxer is in the 50-0 Klubi, Ära. 4 Carlos Zarate, who reached 52 straight victories off his pro debut, 51 knockout, 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 jaBrian Nielson (49), Larry Holmes (48), Ricardo Lopez (47), Joe Calzaghe (46-0) jaJim 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. (Mai 9, 2019) — Boxing’s preeminent action superhero, Oscar Valdez, will make the sixth defense of his WBO featherweight world title Saturday, Juuni 8 against the upset-minded Jason “El Alacrancito” Sanchez at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center.

Valdez-Sanchez and the 10-round light heavyweight showdown between title-hungry contenders Sullivan Barrera and Michael Seals will be televised live on ESPN and ESPN Deportes at 10 Pärastlõunal. ET / 7 Pärastlõunal. PT. Undercard bouts will stream live on ESPN+, the leading multi-sport streaming service, algab 6:30 Pärastlõunal. JA / 3:30 Pärastlõunal. PT. 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, California, 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 ja $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, Texas, 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, Texas, 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., Vjatšeslav 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 ja viimases voorus.

Tihendid (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. Ta oli 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. Loodetavasti, 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. “Nüüd, Ma olen 100 protsenti tervislikest. See on minu aeg. Barrera had his time. Ma tunnen hea. 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. Juunil 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

Jäta kommentaar
Nobody wants to fight undefeated light heavyweight contender Artur Beterbiev (R)
(Photo by Vincent Ethier)
Montreali (Märts 13, 2017 – Groupe Yvon Michel (GYM) president 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.”
MinaBF Light Heavyweight Ratings: Meister – Andre Ward, 1. Unrated, 2. Artur Beterbiev, 3. Sergei Kovaljov, 4. Erik Skoglund'ile, 5. Enrico Kolling, 6. SUSPENDED, 7. Oleksandr Gvozdyk, 8. Dominic Bosel , 9. Robert Stieglitz, 10. Trent Broadhurst.
Alla, 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. Siiski, 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 Brooklyn, New York and Michel reported that the fight would be held in late March, early April, New York. 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 kuni 90 päeva,” Michel continued. “We deposited $50,000, per IBF rules, and received a confirmation letter from the IBF all was conform. As per IBF regulations, within 15 päeva 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, kumbki Aprill 14, 21 või 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.
“Vahepeal, 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, Aprill 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 Meelelahutus, 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 Sel ajal. (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! Varsti, 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, Kovaljov, 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.

Ma ei sattuda, mida inimesed räägivad. Ma olen teadlik, mida räägitakse. Ma tean, mida mu vastane on öelnud ja ma võtan tema sõnu.

Allpool on, mida võitlejad oli öelda viimasel meedia treening:

 

ANDRE WARD, Kaks maailmameister ja top-rated nael-for-nael võitleja:

"Ma tunnen hea ja ma olen valmis minema. Ma jõudes õigel ajal. Ma olen lihtsalt põnevil, et saan seda laupäevalöö.

 

"Ma kasutasin sõita Oracle Arena 880 nagu laps minu viis Kingi hotellid ja ei tea, kas ma võiks teha seal üks päev ja [treener] Virgil [Jahimees] kasutatakse kindlusega öelda, "Sa lähed pealkiri seal." Nagu mul vanemad, Ma kasutasin minna mõned kaardid panna areenil. Ma olin ikka amatöör ja ma lihtsalt unistada. Järgmine asi, mida sa tead, sisse 2009, Olin kraanikausi või ujuda võitlus Edison Miranda. Kui ma võitsin, oli ilmselt hea võimalus, et ma saaksin pealkiri maha ja ülejäänud on ajalugu. Siin me oleme jälle, see on minu 7th aega Oracle ja see on ikka õnnistus.

 

"See oli õige aeg liikuda valguse raskekaalu. See oli kombinatsioon, millel ei ole õigust poisid võidelda või poisid, kes ei tahtnud minuga kakelda. Ma tahan olla suur. Need liigid on käigud sa pead tegema. Ma olen üliõpilane sport ja kui ma uurida sport, See on see, mida vägevad on alati teinud. Nad liiguvad üles. Suur ones leida viis, kuidas saan seda teha ja ma tahan olla selles vestluses.

 

"Barrera on suur keha. Ta on kindel,. Tundub olevat hea stantsija. Me ei valinud teda, sest ta on tahtejõuetud. Korjasime sest ta pidi mind valmis ja näita mulle, mida see kaalukategooria on kõike. Kui te vaatate minu karjääri, seal on koht tune-ups, mis mul ei ole olnud palju. Sa tahad, et võidelda parim ja kui sa ei võitle parim, soovite, et võidelda number üks kandidaat. See, mida me teeme.

 

"Ma arvan, et ma olen areneb tõhus hävitaja. Ma kolin, kui ma pean liikuma. Ma arvan, et see ilu iga sportlane, kes ei kuritarvita oma keha ja tõesti võtab oma käsitöö tõsiselt. Olen näinud mõned artiklid väites ma jäin oma prime. See on hull mulle. Ma tunnen, et ma olen nii hea, kui ma kunagi olnud. Olen olnud Poksisaal ilma palju pausi minevikus 20 aastat. Minu aju tänas mind viimase kahe aasta jooksul. Mu keha tänas mind. See võib anda mulle veel kaks aastat minu karjääri.

 

"Ma pean lihtsalt mind. Kes ma olen on piisavalt. Ma ei pea näitama üles Kovaljov rahvahulga laupäevalöö. Me peame lihtsalt rakendada mänguplaani. Ma arvan, et läheb, et saata sõnum see peaks saatma ja kui seda ei juhtu, siis Ta [Kovaljov] saada sõnum kui me võitlema.

 

"Kui ma ei võida seda võitlust, seal on midagi mööda teed. Kui ma ei võida seda võitlust, Ma ei vääri võidelda tiitli. See on reaalsus minu olukorda.

 

"Barrera pole kunagi võidelnud minusugust enne, et nad saaksid rääkida head mängu. Nad saavad domineerima pealkirju, mis viivad võitlusele. Nad võivad öelda kõik õlilaik kraami nad tahavad öelda. Me lihtsalt tahame domineerida pealkirju Pühapäev hommikul pärast võitlus on läbi. Seda ma olen keskendunud. "

 

SULLIVAN BARRERA, Number üks hinnatud IBF tuli raskekaalus kandidaat:

"Ma olen tugevam kui Ward. Mul on Kuuba tausta ja Õppisin palju oskusi seal. Rohkem kui midagi, määramise üle saada midagi minu ees aitab mul võita Ward Märts 26.

 

"Kui ma olen ringis, see on minu maja.

 

"Ükskõik Ward on, Ma kohaneda selle ja selle ületamiseks.

 

"Mul on kaks kätt. Tal on kaks kätt. Mul on tööd tegema Märts 26.

 

"Ma tean, Ward ja Kovaljov on väga kõrgelt hinnatud ja nad loovad palju raha ja suurt huvi, kuid nad ei tea, mida Sullivan Barrera on võimelised tegema. Ma tõestada, et laupäeval.

 

"Ma ei ole tõesti mees, kes on otsida knockout. Minu poks oskusi räägivad enda eest. Ma olen võidelnud Andre Ward ja võitlevad siin Oakland, nii et ma ei usu, et tehakse otsus muudab minu kasuks.

 

"Et kõik fännid, eriti Kuuba fännid, kes on mind toetanud siis tean, et tulla Laupäev, Ma lähen tegema kõik, mis ma pean tegema, et tulla välja võitjana. "

JOSEPH DIAZ JR., NABF Featherweight meister:

"Ma ei saa oodata, mis Jayson tegi Ronny Rios ajal selles võitluses. Ma pean sinna minna, testida teda välja ja kohandada, kui ma olen ringis.

 

"Kui selleks võimalus, kus ta haiget ja ma näen, et mu löögid on valdav teda, siis muidugi ma lähen sinna, agressiivne ja veendumaks, et ma teda välja võimalikult varakult.

 

"Ma tean, kuidas sees, mahalõikamine ring ja võtta see keha kohe murdub ta maha. See läheb teda ei liigu nii palju ja hiljem ringi võin maa tige puhub pea. Ma lähen, et võtta selle keha kohe.

 

"Vaimselt olen 100% valmis. See on suur etapp minu karjääri, nii et ma olen vaimselt keskendunud. Ma olen ka valmis. Ma tunnen, et see on hetk, ma olen oodanud kogu mu kogu elu. Ma tunnen, et ma olen valmis seda ja ma ei saa oodata Märts 26. Ma koolitatud väga raske selles võitluses ja ma olen hästi valmistunud ta.

 

"Ma tõesti tahan teha avaldus selles võitluses. Ma tahan näidata maailmale, et Joseph Diaz võiks olla järgmine suur asi poks, nii et ma koolitatud väga raske panna suur võitlus võitlus fännid, väga agressiivne ja muuta see sõda seal. Loodan, et Jayson Velez on 110% valmis, sest ma tahan, et ta oleks tema parim.

 

"Kui ma võidan selle võitluse ja teha avaldus, Ma arvan, et ma ei saa liikuda kandidaat staatus ja loodetavasti saan maailma pealkiri tulistas selle aasta lõpuks. Ma tahan, et võidelda sitke vastased sel aastal, sest ma tahan näidata maailmale, kes ma olen.

 

"Ma tunnen nagu metsaline kui ma sammu ring ja ma näen seda sparring. Iga kord, kui ma maandumist tõhus puhub, Ma ei saa öelda, et ma haiget minu vastane. "

Jayson Velez, Top-reitinguga sulgkaallaseks kandidaat:

"Mu tasemel, iga mees on top kandidaat. Ma pean rohkem treenima ja parandada oma riigikaitse. Ma olen töötanud, et.

 

"Kui te näete oma viimase kolme või nelja võitleb, näed, et ma olen domineeriv esimese paari ringi ja siis ma bensiin otsa, Olen töötanud minu vastupidavusele, nii et ei juhtu Märts 26.

 

"Ma olen näinud Diaz on võitleb. Meil sparred paar korda. Tal on kiirus. Tal on nälg. See on tema HBO debüüdi, nii ta on kindlasti motiveeritud, aga seda ma olen. See saab olema suur võitlus.

 

"Ma tahan olla meister sõna. Ma tean, et ta tahab seda liiga. Laupäeval, me teame, kes tahab seda rohkem. Me mõlemad tahavad võita ja me mõlemad oleme koolitus võidu. Vahelist võitlust võimu ja kiirus on suur match-up. Rääkimata, et ta on Mehhiko ja ma olen Puerto Rico. Sa võid oodata suurt võitlust ja see ei ole see, mida soovid lasta. "
