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



LAS VEGAS (Lúnasa 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, rátáil láthair No. 2 an Eagraíocht Dhomhanda Dornálaíochta (WBO) agus Uimh. 5 ag an gCónaidhm Idirnáisiúnta Dornálaíochta (IBF), chomh maith le No. 9 i An Fáinne 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 níos déanaí i mbliana. 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) agus Joe Smith, Jr. (WBO), whose rumored unification fight doesn’t appear to be on the horizon.


Idir an dá linn, 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, Boy Golden, 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. Mar Trodaire, 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), agus 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. Arís, I trust Golden Boy will do what has been promised and I look forward to what fight they will present me with.”

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 agus $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, Nua-Mheicsiceo, 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., 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 12ú agus bhabhta deiridh.

Rónta (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. Bhí sé 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. Táimid dóchasach, 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. “Anois, Tá mé 100 percent healthy. Is é seo mo am. Barrera had his time. Is dóigh liom go maith. 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. Ar Meitheamh 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

Leave a comment
Nobody wants to fight undefeated light heavyweight contender Artur Beterbiev (R)
(Photo by Vincent Ethier)
MONTREAL (Márta 13, 2017 – Groupe Yvon Michel (Giomnáisiam) uachtarán 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.”
IBF Light Heavyweight Ratings: Champion – 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.
Thíos, 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. Mar sin féin, 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 4ú i Brooklyn, New York and Michel reported that the fight would be held in late March, early April, i Nua-Eabhrac. 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 go 90 laethanta,” 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 laethanta 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, ceachtar Aibreán 14, 21 nó 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 21ú 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 21ú 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 16ú.
“Idir an dá linn, 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, An tUasal. 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, An tUasal. 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, Aibreán 21ú 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. An tUasal. 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 Siamsaíocht, Warriors Promotions, Don King Promotions, Boy Golden, 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 ag an am sin. (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! Go gairid, 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.

"Dhá cheann de na heavyweights solas barr ar an phláinéid a collide ar Márta 26. Tá siad taifead comhcheangailte 45-0 le 27 Kos agus gá é a rá, ní tasted defeat mar gairmiúil. Cé go bhfuil gach fear a chéile comhraic formidable roimh dó, tá siad an dá gcuid súl ar Sergey Kovalev agus a vehicle teideal trí domhan, ach an chéad caithfidh siad gnó a bheith i láthair go ar an Satharn oíche.

 

"Aon uair a thagann mé i gcrích go dtí Oakland do imeacht agus tá mé le Andre ag ócáid ​​ina bhfuil sé ag labhairt leis na meáin, baineann sé liom go léir, tá sé ina tallann speisialta athletically, ach tá sé chomh maith le duine ar leith agus tá súil agam gach duine anseo i Oakland thuigeann agus tuigeann go. Tá sé ina fhear teaghlaigh phrionsabálta a dhéanann iarracht i gcónaí a dhéanamh ar an rud ceart agus go bhfuil rud éigin go bhfuil annamh sa saol na laethanta, ach is annamh go háirithe i spóirt. Tá súil agam go mbainfidh tú guys taitneamh dó. Ní gá Dornálaíochta gairmeacha seo caite go deo. níl sé ag dul a bheith ag troid go deo, mar sin ba chóir gach duine a thuiscint cad a bhfuil tú anseo i Andre Ward.

"Ba mhaith liom i ndáiríre a ghabháil le Andre Ward. Ní raibh sé a ghlacadh ar Trodaire undefeated ina chéad troid ag trom éadrom, ach rinne sé é agus sílim go bhfuil moladh.

 

"Ina troid seo caite, Tháinig Sullivan an contender éigeantach do crios IBF Sergey Kovalev ar. D'fhéadfadh sé a bheith shuigh ar ais agus d'fhan as a chuid troid teideal, ach ina ionad sin chonaic sé an troid in aghaidh Andre Ward mar dheis chun teacht i ndáiríre le haghaidh greatness agus rinne sé go.

Tá sé seo cad ba cheart ár spórt a bheith faoi.

 

"Is Sullivan Barrera undefeated le taifead ar 17-0 le 12 Bhuaigh teacht ar mhodh knockout. Iompaigh sé díreach 34, mí ó shin, a d'fhéadfá smaoineamh go bhfuil beag d'aois ar an bpointe seo ina shaol. Cad é nach mbeadh a fhios agat go bhfuil go raibh sé ar ghairm amaitéarach rathúil i gCúba agus ansin chaill roinnt blianta dá príomh agus é ag defecting dtí na Stáit Aontaithe. Sé teacht ar bhealach fada i ndáiríre a bheith anseo inniu ar an láthair agus an deis seo. Tá sé ocras, Tá sé muiníneach agus tá sé réidh. "

Tar éis Shadowboxing i an fáinne agus roinnt babhtaí ar na málaí punching, na ceithre trodaithe páirt in agallaimh le baill meáin i láthair. Super Bowl Champion agus Oakland dhúchais Marshawn Lynch, avid Andre Ward tacaíocht, rinne cuma speisialta i rith na workout chun tacú Ward.

 

Anseo thíos tá an méid a bhí an trodaithe a rá le linn an workout meáin deiridh:

 

ANDRE WARD, Dhá-Ama Champion Domhanda agus barr-ráta punt-do-punt Trodaire:

"Is dóigh liom go maith agus tá mé réidh chun dul. Tá mé ag buactha ag an am ceart. Tá mé díreach ar bís chun é a fháil ar an Satharnoíche.

 

"Úsáid mé a thiomáint ag Oracle Arena ar 880 mar kid ar mo bhealach go dtí an Rí Giomnáisiam agus iontas más rud é go raibh mé in ann é a dhéanamh ansin lá amháin agus [oiliúnóir] Veirgil [Hunter] a úsáidtear a rá go muiníneach, 'Tá tú ag dul go dtí ceannlíne ann.' Mar a fuair mé níos sine, Bhain mé úsáid as chun dul go dtí roinnt de na cártaí a chur ar i réimse. Bhí mé fós amaitéarach agus ba mhaith liom a aisling díreach. Rud eile a fhios agat, i 2009, Bhí mé i doirteal nó snámh comhrac in aghaidh Edison Miranda. Má bhuaigh mé, bhí dócha go seans maith go mbeadh mé a fháil lámhaigh teideal agus tá an chuid eile stair. Anseo tá muid arís, bhfuil sé ar mo 7ú am Oracle agus tá sé fós ina blessing.

 

"Ba é an t-am ceart chun gluaiseacht chuig trom solais. Ba meascán de nach bhfuil na guys ceart dul i ngleic nó guys nach raibh ag iarraidh a troid liom. Ba mhaith liom a bheith iontach. Is iad seo na cineálacha bogann a bhfuil tú a dhéanamh. Tá mé mac léinn de spóirt agus nuair mé staidéar ar an spórt, is é seo an méid atá greats dhéanamh i gcónaí. Bhogann siad suas. Na cinn mór a fháil ar bhealach a fháil déanta agus ba mhaith liom a bheith sa chomhrá.

 

"Is Barrera comhlacht mór. Tá sé muiníneach. Cosúil le bheith ina pollaire maith. Ní raibh muid ag piocadh air mar tá sé i dteagmháil bog. Phioc muid é toisc go raibh sé ag dul a fháil réidh dom agus a thaispeáint dom cad é seo an rang meáchan ar fad faoi. Má fhéachann tú ar mo shaol, níl áit le haghaidh tune-ups nach bhfuil mé go raibh a lán de na. Ba mhaith leat dul i ngleic leis an chuid is fearr agus mura bhfuil tú ag troid an chuid is fearr, ba mhaith leat dul i ngleic leis an uimhir amháin contender. Sin an méid atá ar siúl againn.

 

"Sílim go bhfuil mé ag teacht chun cinn isteach i Trodaire éifeachtach. Tá mé ag bogadh nuair a tá mé ag bogadh. Sílim go bhfuil an áilleacht aon lúthchleasaí nach mí-úsáid a chorp agus i ndáiríre go rachaidh a cheird dáiríre. Mé le feiceáil roinnt earraí ag éileamh gur chaill mé mo príomh. Tá sé ar mire dom. Is dóigh liom go bhfuil mé chomh maith mar tá mé riamh. Tá mé i seomra aclaíochta dornálaíochta gan mórán de sos ar feadh an am atá caite 20 bliana. Mo inchinn buíochas leis dom ar feadh dhá bhliain anuas. Mo chorp ghabh sé buíochas dom. D'fhéadfadh sé a thabhairt dom dhá bhliain i mo shaol.

 

"Caithfidh mé a bheith mise amháin. Cé mise go leor. Ní dóigh liom go teacht i láthair don Kovalev sa slua ar an Satharnoíche. Ní mór dúinn ach chun an plean a chur i bhfeidhm cluiche. I mo thuairimse, go bhfuil dul a sheoladh chuig an teachtaireacht tá sé ceaptha a sheoladh agus más rud é nach ndéanann sé, ansin beidh sé [Kovalev] an teachtaireacht nuair ag troid linn a.

 

"Más rud é nach féidir liom a bhuaigh an troid, níl rud ar bith síos an bóthar. Mura féidir liom bhuaigh an troid, ní féidir liom dul chun troid ar son an teideal. Sin an réaltacht mo scéal.

 

"Riamh Barrera throid Guy cosúil liomsa os, ionas gur féidir leo labhairt cluiche maith. Is féidir leo a tionchar an-mhór na ceannlínte roimh an gcomhrac. Is féidir leo a rá go léir an stuif slick mian leo a rá. Ba mhaith linn ach a tionchar an-mhór na ceannlínte Dé Domhnaigh maidin tar éis an troid thar. Sin an méid mé dírithe ar. "

 

SULLIVAN BARRERA, Uimhir amháin rátáil IBF contender trom éadrom:

"Tá mé níos láidre ná Ward. Tá mé an cúlra Chúba agus d'fhoghlaim mé a lán de na scileanna ann. Níos mó ná rud ar bith, Beidh an cinneadh aon rud i os comhair dom a shárú cabhrú liom defeat Ward ar Márta 26.

 

"Chomh luath agus tá mé an fáinne, tá sé ar mo theach.

 

"Tá Cibé rud Ward, Beidh mé i dtaithí ar dó agus é a shárú.

 

"Tá mé dhá lámh. Tá sé dhá lámh. Tá mé post le déanamh ar Márta 26.

 

"Tá a fhios agam Ward agus Kovalev bhfuil meas an-ard agus cruthaíonn siad a lán airgid agus a lán de leas, ach níl a fhios acu cad é Sullivan Barrera in ann a dhéanamh. Beidh mé a chruthú go ar an Satharn.

 

"Níl mé i ndáiríre Guy go bhfuil a chuardach le haghaidh knockout. Mo scileanna dornálaíochta son féin de. Tá mé ag troid Andre Ward agus troid anseo i Oakland, mar sin ní dóigh liom go mbeidh cinneadh a rinneadh i mo bhfabhar.

 

"Chun go léir an lucht leanúna, go háirithe an lucht leanúna Chúba a thug tacaíocht dom le do thoil a fhios a thagann Dé Sathairn, Tá mé ag dul gach rud a bhfuil mé a dhéanamh le teacht amach victorious a dhéanamh. "

JOSEPH DIAZ JR., NABF featherweight Champion:

"Ní féidir liom bheith ag súil cad a rinne Jayson le Ronny Rios linn an troid. Tá mé chun dul i ann, thástáil air amach agus a choigeartú nuair atá mé an fáinne.

 

"Má léiríonn an deis féin nuair atá sé gortaithe agus feicim go bhfuil mo chuid punches déanamh damáiste dó, ansin ar ndóigh tá mé ag dul a fháil i ann, bheith ionsaitheach agus bí cinnte go dtógfaidh mé amach chomh luath agus is féidir.

 

"Tá a fhios mé ag dul ar an taobh istigh, Beidh ghearradh as an fáinne agus ag cur sé leis an gcomhlacht ar an bpointe boise a bhriseadh síos air. Sin an dul a dhéanamh dó bogadh oiread agus níos déanaí sa babhtaí is féidir liom blows fí talamh go dtí an ceann. Tá mé ag dul chun é a chur leis an gcomhlacht ar an bpointe boise.

 

"Meabhrach Tá mé 100% réidh. Is é seo a chur le céim mhór i mo shaol, mar sin tá mé dírithe meabhrach. Tá mé ullmhaithe go maith. Dar liom é seo i láthair na huaire tá mé ag fanacht le mo shaol ar fad ar fad. Dar liom Tá mé réidh le haghaidh seo agus ní féidir liom fanacht Márta 26. Oilte mé an-chrua ar an troid agus tá mé ullmhaithe go maith chun é.

 

"Ba mhaith liom ráiteas a dhéanamh an troid. Ba mhaith liom a thaispeáint ar an domhan go bhféadfadh Joseph Diaz a bheith ar an rud eile mór i dornálaíocht, mar sin oilte mé an-deacair a chur ar troid mór do lucht leanúna troid, a bheith an-ionsaitheach agus go mbeadh sé ina chogadh in ann. Tá súil agam go bhfuil Jayson Velez 110% réidh mar ba mhaith liom é a bheith ar a chuid is fearr.

 

"Má mé bhuaigh an troid agus ráiteas a dhéanamh, I mo thuairimse, is féidir liom a aistriú go dtí stádas contender agus táthar ag súil a fháil ar teideal domhan lámhaigh faoi dheireadh na bliana seo. Ba mhaith liom dul i ngleic opponents diana i mbliana mar ba mhaith liom a thaispeáint ar an domhan a bhfuil mé.

 

"Dar liom Beast nuair a chéim mé isteach an fáinne agus is féidir liom é a fheiceáil i sparring. Aon uair a bhfuil mé ag tuirlingt blows éifeachtacha, Is féidir liom a rá go bhfuil mé ag hurting mo chéile comhraic. "

JAYSON VELEZ, Barr-ráta contender featherweight:

"Ar mo leibhéal, Is gach Guy ina contender barr. Caithfidh mé a oiliúint níos deacra agus a fheabhsú mo chosaint. Tá mé ag obair ar sin.

 

"Má fheiceann tú mo trí nó ceithre anuas troideanna, feicfidh tú go bhfuil mé ag dominating sa chéad cúpla bhabhta agus ansin rith mé amach as gás, Tá mé ag obair ar mo stamina ionas nach mbeidh a tharlaíonn ar Márta 26.

 

"Chonaic mé troideanna Diaz ar. Táimid tar éis sparred cúpla uair. Sé fuair luas. Fuair ​​sé ag ocras. Tá sé a chuid HBO tús, mar sin tá sé spreagtha cinnte, ach mar sin tá mé. Tá sé seo ag dul a bheith ina troid i iontach.

 

"Ba mhaith liom a bheith curadh an fhocail. Tá a fhios agam mian sé sé ró. Ar an Satharn, bheidh a fhios againn atá ag iarraidh sé níos. Ba mhaith linn araon a bhuachan agus táimid araon oiliúint do bua. Tá troid idir chumhacht agus an luas iontach cluiche-suas. Gan trácht ar sé Mheicsiceo agus tá mé Puerto Rican. Is féidir leat a bheith ag súil le troid mhór agus nach bhfuil sé ar cheann is mian leat a chailleann. "
