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



LAS VEGAS (Augusts 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, Pašlaik novērtēja Nr. 2 Pasaules Boksa organizācijas (WBO) un Nr. 5 by the International Boxing Federation (IBF), kā arī Nr. 9 uz 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) un Joe Smith, Jr. (WBO), whose rumored unification fight doesn’t appear to be on the horizon.


Tikmēr, 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. Kā cīnītājs, 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), un 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. Atkal, I trust Golden Boy will do what has been promised and I look forward to what fight they will present me with.”

“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, Teksasa, 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, Teksasa, 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., Vjačeslavs 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 un fināls.

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. Viņš bija 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. Cerams, 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. “Tagad, Es esmu 100 percent healthy. Šis ir mans laiks. Barrera had his time. Es jūtos labi. 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. Jūnijā 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 (Gājiens 13, 2017 – Groupe Yvon Michel (GYM) prezidents 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.”
EsBF Light Heavyweight Ratings: Čempions – Andre Ward, 1. Unrated, 2. Artur Beterbiev, 3. Sergejs Kovaļevs, 4. Ēriks Skoglunds, 5. Enrico Kolling, 6. SUSPENDED, 7. Oleksandr Gvozdyk, 8. Dominic Bosel , 9. Robert Stieglitz, 10. Trent Broadhurst.
Zemāk, 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. Tomēr, 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, Ņujorkā. 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 līdz 90 dienas,” 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 dienas 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, vai Aprīlis 14, 21 vai 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.
“Tikmēr, 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, Aprīlis 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 Izklaide, 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 toreiz. (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! Drīz, 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.

Zemāk ir kādi cīnītājiem, veicinātājiem, trenažieri, vadītājiem un citiem DAIS viesi bija teikt preses konferencē:

 

 

ANDRE WARD, Divu laika pasaules čempions un top-rated mārciņa-for-mārciņa cīnītājs:

"Es gribu pateikties visiem par iznāks kā parasti. Bay Area ir skaista vieta. Mums nav bieži iegūt pietiekami daudz kredītu talantu, kas nāk ārā no šejienes, bet par fanu bāzi, tas ir milzīgs. Es esmu tikai pateicīga par to, ka no vietas, piemēram, šo un pateicīgi ir mīlestība un atbalsts katru notikumu, kas mums dot šeit. Es esmu pateicīgs, ka man un puiši, piemēram Marshawn Lynch, Damian Lillard un Warriors nodot šo vietu kartē, un cilvēki ir ņemot paziņojumu par valsts skatuves. Tas ir patiešām svarīgi, lai man.

 

"Cik pati cīņa, tas ir ļoti vienkārši, lai man ... kāds, kas mani zina, viņi zina, kā es strādāju, un viņi zina, kā es ērču. Man nav get nokļuvuši ko tālāk. Man nav get nokļuvuši ko cilvēki saka. Es esmu informēts par to, kas tiek runāts. Es zinu, kāds ir mans pretinieks ir teicis, un es viņu pie vārda. Es esmu darījusi visu, ko es esmu vajadzēja darīt, piemēram, es vienmēr darīt, un, piemēram, es esmu darījusi pēdējā 10 gadi manā karjerā. Esmu veikti par labāko ... ja tas nav vēl viens čempions, tad tas ir top sāncensis ... un tas nav atšķirīgs. Jūs guys tikai zināt, ka es esmu mērķtiecīgi un nobloķēt, piemēram, es vienmēr esmu. Es esmu gatavs, un es esmu gatavs karam nākt Gājiens 26."

SULLIVAN Barrera, Viens numurs novērtēja IBF gaismas smagiem sāncensis:

"Es gribēju pateikt paldies par ierašanos šeit. Es gribu pateikt paldies HBO, Paldies visiem. Paldies Andre Ward pieņemšanai manu cīņu. Es apsolu visiem, kas nāk pie arēnas, ka man ir bijusi lieliska sagatavošana, un tas ir liels sapnis. Šajā naktī, Man būs lieliska parādīt ikvienam. "

DAVID ITSKOWITCH, COO Bokss - Roc Nation Sports:

"Divi no top gaismas smagsvariem uz planētas būs saduras ar Gājiens 26. Viņiem ir kombinētā ieraksts 45-0 ar 27 Kos un lieki teikt, ne jau garšoja sakāvi kā profesionāls. Kaut arī katrs cilvēks ir briesmīgs pretinieks viņam priekšā, viņi abi ir savas acis uz Sergeja Kovalev un viņa trīs pasaules titulu jostām, bet vispirms tie ir biznesa apmeklētu sestdien nakts.

 

"Kad es iznākt Oakland par notikumu, un es esmu ar Andre pie funkcijai, kurā viņš runā ar medijiem, tas man šķiet, ka, protams,, Viņš ir īpašs talants athletically, bet viņš ir arī īpašs cilvēks, un es ceru, ka visi šeit Oakland saprot un novērtē, ka. Viņš ir principiālu ģimenes cilvēks, kas vienmēr cenšas darīt pareizās lietas, un tas ir kaut kas reti dzīvē šajās dienās, bet tas ir īpaši reti sportā. Es ceru, ka jūs guys novērtēt viņu. Boksa karjera nav mūžīgi. Viņš nebūs cīnās visiem laikiem, tāpēc ikvienam vajadzētu novērtēt to, kas jums ir šeit Andre Ward.

 

"Andre notverti zelta medaļu Atēnu Olimpiskajās spēlēs, un ir pēdējais ārpus ASV. bokseris to ir izdarījušas. Viņa saraksts tūlīt izzūd ienaidnieki skan kā kurš ir kurš no super middleweight nodaļa. Viņš arī dominē un izsisti bijušo gaismas smagiem pasaules čempionu, Chad Dawson in to 2012 kāršu atklāšana. Savā pēdējā cīņā, viņš dominē divu laikā pasaules title challenger Paul Smith uz Jūnijs 20 at Oracle Arena. Viņš uzsāk nākamajā nodaļā viņa karjeru Gājiens 26, atgriežoties Oracle Arena vēlreiz, kā viņš veic savu gājienu līdz gaismas smagiem sadalīšanu gatavs darīt to, ko viņš darīja ar super middleweight sadali ... tīrīšanas, un dominē ikvienu, kas stāv viņa ceļā. "

NICOLE DOVE, Viceprezidents mārketinga un General Counsel - Galvenie notikumi:

"Es tiešām vēlētos pateikties Andre Ward. Viņam nebija uzņemties undefeated cīnītājs savā pirmajā cīņā pie gaismas smagiem, bet viņš to darīja, un es domāju, ka ir apsveicama.

 

"Savā pēdējā cīņā, Sullivan kļuva obligāta sāncensis Sergejs Kovaļevs s IBF jostu. Viņš varētu būt sestdiena atpakaļ un gaidīja savu titulu cīņā, bet tā vietā viņš ieraudzīja šo cīņu pret Andre Ward kā iespēju, lai tiešām sasniegtu diženumu, un viņš to izdarīja. Kā jūs visi zināt, Galvenie notikumi un Roc Nation Sports ir lieli plāni Andre Ward un vēlāk šogad Sergejs Kovaļovs un Sullivan Barrera var patiešām apbēdināts, ka ābolu grozā.

 

"Abi šie vīrieši, Sullivan un Andre, viss izjādes uz rezultātiem Sestdienas cīņa. Šajā situācijā, ka mums ir boksa tagad, tas ir atjaunojāt redzēt reālus karavīrus, kuri nebaidās riskēt. Viņi abi ir pelnījuši mūsu cieņu un apbrīnu, ka. Tas ir tas, ko mūsu sporta jābūt apmēram.

 

"Sullivan Barrera ir undefeated ar ierakstu 17-0 ar 12 uzvar nāk veidā nokauts. Viņš vienkārši pagriezās 34, pirms mēneša, ko jūs varētu domāt, ir mazliet vecs šai brīdī viņa karjerā. Ko jūs varētu nezināt, ka viņš bija veiksmīga amatieru karjeru Kubā un pēc tam zaudēja vairākus gadus viņa prime, kamēr viņš bija defecting uz Amerikas Savienotajām Valstīm. Viņš nāk tiešām tālu būt šeit šodien šo brīdi un šo iespēju. Viņš ir izsalcis, Viņš ir pārliecināts, un viņš ir gatavs. "

VIRGIL HUNTER, Andre Ward treneris:

"Tas ir fantastisks karte ar fantastisku sportisti, kuri cenšas padarīt savu ceļu pasaulē boksa. Ja šī cīņa tika notiek jebkurā citā pilsētā, tas būtu milzīgs notikums. Ko mēs vēlamies darīt, ir pārliecināties, ka Oakland saprot, un ka apkārtējo Bay Area saprot, lielums šo notikumu, lai mēs varētu turpināt celt pasaules klases boksa uz Oakland. Oakland ir augsni top cīnītāji, un mums jau ir viņiem. Jo vairāk, ka jūs atbalstāt mūs, jo vairāk, ka šīs cīņas būs redzams, un jūs redzēsiet liels laiks augšpusē.

 

"Viņi saka citi tīkli cīnītājiem, bet HBO padara zvaigznes, tāpēc mēs esam priecīgi būt daļa no šīs. Mēs lūdzam jūs iznākt un atbalstīt šo cīņu. Nāc ārā Sestdiena nakti un baudīt sevi par labu nakti top boksa. "

Viņš zina problēmas viņam priekšā, bet viņš tic sev un viņš uzskata, ka tas ir viņa laiks, lai parādītu sabiedrībai, un skatītāju auditorijas, ka tas ir, ja viņš ir. Viņš ir tur sniegt paziņojumu.

"Šis ir vēsturisks brīdis mums. Mēs ieejam 175 mārciņa gaismas smagiem sadalīšanu. Šis ir brīdis, ka pilsēta nevēlas palaist garām. Tas ir brīdis sākumā kustība.

Vēlreiz, mēs esam sajūsmā par šo iespēju, un jūs nevēlaties palaist garām šo vēsturisko brīdi sestdien nakts. "

JOSEPH DIAZ JR., NABF viegls Champion:

"Nāc Gājiens 26, Es zinu, man ir ļoti grūts cīņa pirms manis. Es zinu Jayson Velez ir pieredzējis veterāns gredzenu. Viņš ir karavīrs. Viņš ir sešu collu reach priekšrocības pār mani, tāpēc tas būs patiešām lieliska cīņa. Es zinu, ka viņš nāk nost no zaudējumiem, tāpēc es zinu, ka viņš patiešām vēlas piepeši atpakaļ un parādīt visiem, ka viņš joprojām ir pasaules virsraksts sāncensis.

 

"Man bija ļoti liels treniņnometni. Esmu bijis mācību astoņas nedēļas. Šī ir mana pirmā reize cīnās par HBO, tāpēc es tiešām gribu, lai parādītu, kas es patiešām esmu.

Šāda kā Gājiens 26, Es apsolu es esmu gatavojas sniegt jums lielisku šovu. "

Man nav pārāk daudz, ko teikt, turklāt, ka šī ir lieliska cīņa. Joseph nāk cīnīties. Es nāku, lai cīnītos. Mēs abi vēlaties, lai uzvarētu. Mēs abi pieņemt izaicinājumus. Cilvēki turpina jautā man, kāpēc es ņēma šo bīstamo cīņu un atbilde ir viegli ... ja es gribu būt labākais, Man ir jācīnās par labāko. Joseph ir viens no labākajiem.

 

"Es pazaudēju savu pēdējo cīņu, tāpēc man ir nepieciešams, lai uzvarētu. Es gribu, lai uzvarētu. Es nevaru pateikt, kas notiek, lai uzvarētu šo cīņu, jo mēs abi esam lieli cīnītāji un karotāji.

ROBERT DIAZ, Head savedējs - Golden Boy Promotions:

"Acīmredzot galvenais notikums runā pats par sevi. Tev Andre Ward pret jauniešu undefeated puisis kā Sullivan Barrera, bet sadarbības galvenais notikums būs bedres diviem jauniem, izsalcis cīnītājiem pret viens otru Jayson Velez un Joseph Diaz. Viņi abi jaunieši. Viņi abi gatavi uzņemties labākajiem cīņas, toughest cīņas un pierādījums, ka ir, cik viegli tas bija padarīt šo cīņu.

ANDRE WARD, Divu laika pasaules čempions un top-rated mārciņa-for-mārciņa cīnītājs:

"Es jūtos labi, un es esmu gatavs iet. Es esmu sasniedzot īstajā laikā. Es esmu tikai satraukti, lai saņemtu to sestdiennakts.

 

"Es mēdzu braukt ar Oracle Arena uz 880 kā kazlēnu par manu ceļu uz ķēniņa ērtībām un brīnums, ja es varētu darīt to tur vienu dienu un [treneris] Virgil [Medību zirgs] mēdza teikt ar pārliecību, "Jūs esat gatavojas virsrakstu tur." Kā es got vecāka, Es izmantoti, lai dotos uz kādu no kartēm likts uz arēnā. Man vēl bija amatieru un es tikai sapņot. Nākamā lieta, jūs zināt, uz 2009, Es biju izlietne vai peldēt apkarošanā Edison Miranda. Ja es uzvarēja, tur droši vien bija laba iespēja, ka es varētu saņemt nosaukums shot un pārējais ir vēsture. Šeit mēs atkal, tas ir mans 7th laiks Oracle un tas joprojām ir svētība.

 

"Tas bija īstais laiks, lai pārietu uz gaismas smagiem. Tas bija, kam nav tiesības puiši, lai cīnītos vai puiši, kas nevēlējās, lai cīnītos mani kombinācija. Es gribu būt liels. Tie ir veidi pārceļas jums ir veikt. Es esmu students no sporta un kad es izpētīt sports, Tas ir tas, ko greats vienmēr darījuši. Viņi pārceļas uz augšu. Par liels tiem atrast veids, kā to izdarīt, un es gribu būt šajā sarunā.

 

"Barrera ir liels ķermenis. Viņš ir pārliecināts,. Šķiet, ir labs kovbojs. Mums nav pick viņam, jo ​​viņš ir mīksts touch. Mēs noplūktiem viņam, jo ​​viņš gatavojas iegūt mani gatavs un parādīt man to, ko šajā svara kategorijā ir par. Ja paskatās manā karjerā, tur ir vieta melodija-ups, kas man nav bijis daudz. Jūs vēlaties, lai cīnītos par labāko, un, ja jūs neesat cīnās labākais, Jūs vēlaties, lai cīnītos numur viens kandidāts. Tas, ko mēs darām.

 

"Es domāju, ka es esmu attīstās par efektīvu cīnītājs. Es esmu pārvietojas, kad man ir, lai pārvietotos. Es domāju, ka ir skaistums jebkuram sportistam, kurš ļaunprātīgi neizmantotu savu ķermeni un patiešām ņem savu kuģi nopietni. Es esmu redzējis dažus rakstus, apgalvojot, es nokavēju savu prime. Tas ir traki ar mani. Es jūtu, ka es esmu tik labi, kā man jebkad bijis. Esmu bijis boksa sporta bez daudz pārtraukumu pagātnē 20 gadiem. Manas smadzenes pateicās man par pēdējo divu gadu laikā. Mans ķermenis pateicās mani. Tas varētu dot man vēl divi gadi manā karjerā.

 

"Man ir vienkārši būt man. Kas es esmu, ir pietiekami. Man nav parādās uz Kovalev pūlī sestdiennakts. Mums vienkārši ir īstenot spēles plānu. Es domāju, kas notiek, lai nosūtītu ziņu tas ir paredzēts, lai nosūtītu un, ja tā nav, tad viņš būs [Kovalev] saņemt paziņojumu, kad mēs cīnāmies.

 

"Ja man nav uzvarēt šo cīņu, tur nekas pa ceļu. Ja man nav uzvarēt šo cīņu, Man nav pelnījuši, lai cīnītos par titulu. Tas ir realitāte manā situācijā.

 

"Barrera nekad cīnījās puisis, piemēram, man pirms, lai viņi varētu runāt labu spēli. Tie var dominēt virsraksti noved līdz cīņai. Viņi var teikt visu slidens sīkumi viņi vēlas pateikt. Mēs vienkārši vēlamies, lai dominē virsrakstus Svētdiena rītā pēc cīņa ir beigusies. Tas, ko es esmu vērsta uz. "

 

SULLIVAN Barrera, Viens numurs novērtēja IBF gaismas smagiem sāncensis:

"Es esmu stiprāka nekā Ward. Man ir Kubas fona un es uzzināju daudz prasmju tur. Vairāk nekā jebkas, noteikšana pārvarēt kaut ko priekšā man palīdzēs man uzvarēt Ward uz Gājiens 26.

 

"Kad es esmu ar gredzenu, tā ir mana māja.

 

"Neatkarīgi Ward ir, Es pielāgoties tai un pārvarēt.

 

"Man ir divas rokas. Viņam ir divas rokas. Man ir darbs, ko darīt tālāk Gājiens 26.

 

"Es zinu, Ward un Kovaļevs ir ļoti cienīts un tie rada daudz naudas un lielu interesi, bet viņi nezina, kas Sullivan Barrera spēj darīt. Es būs jāpierāda, ka sestdien.

 

"Es neesmu īsti puisis, kas ir meklēt nokauts. Mani boksa iemaņas runā paši par sevi. Es esmu cīnās Andre Ward un cīnās šeit Oakland, tāpēc es nedomāju, ka lēmums tiks sniegta manā labā.

 

"Lai visiem faniem, sevišķi Kubas fani, kas atbalstīja mani, lūdzu, zināt, kas nāk Sestdiena, Es esmu gatavojas darīt visu, man ir jādara, lai iznākt uzvaru. "

JOSEPH DIAZ JR., NABF viegls Champion:

"Es nevaru gaidīt ko Jayson darīja, lai Ronny Rios šajā cīņā laikā. Man iet tur, pārbaudīt viņu ārā un pielāgot, kad es esmu ar gredzenu.

 

"Ja iespēja prezentē sevi, kur viņš ir ievainots, un es redzu, ka mana perforatori ir milzīgs viņam, tad, protams, es esmu gatavojas saņemt tur, būt agresīvi un pārliecinieties, ka es viņam pēc iespējas ātrāk.

 

"Es zinu, kļūst iekšpusē, nogriežot gredzenu un, ņemot to uz ķermeņa uzreiz būs pārtraukums viņu uz leju. Tas notiek, lai viņš nepārvietojas tik daudz, un vēlāk kārtās varu nolaisties apburtais sitienus pa galvu. Es esmu gatavojas ņemt to uz ķermeņa uzreiz.

 

"Garīgi Es esmu 100% gatavs. Tas ir liels posms manā karjerā, tāpēc es esmu garīgi koncentrējās. Es esmu labi sagatavoti. Man šķiet, ka tas ir brīdis man ir gaidījuši visu manu visu dzīvi. Es jūtu, es esmu gatavs, un es nevaru gaidīt Gājiens 26. Es apmācīts ļoti grūti šo cīņu, un es esmu labi sagatavotas to.

 

"Es tiešām gribu sniegt paziņojumu šajā cīņā. Es gribu, lai parādītu pasaulei, ka Jāzeps Diaz varētu būt nākamā lielā lieta boksā, tāpēc es apmācīts ļoti grūti likt par lielisku cīņu par cīņu faniem, būt ļoti agresīvs un padarīt to par karu tur. Es ceru, ka Jayson Velez ir 110% gatavs, jo es vēlos, lai viņš būtu viņa vislabāk.

 

"Ja es uzvarētu šo cīņu, un sniegt paziņojumu, Es domāju, ka es varētu pāriet uz sāncensis statusu un, cerams iegūt pasaules titulu shot ar šā gada beigām. Es gribu, lai cīnītos grūts pretiniekiem šogad, jo es gribu, lai parādītu pasaulei, kas es esmu.

 

"Es jūtos kā zvērs, kad es soli ringā, un es redzu to sparring. Ikreiz, kad es esmu piezemēšanās efektīvus sitienus, Es varu pateikt, ka es esmu hurting manu pretinieku. "

Jayson VELEZ, Top-rated viegls sāncensis:

"Pēc mana līmenī, katrs puisis ir top sāncensis. Man ir apmācīt grūtāk un uzlabot savu aizsardzību. Esmu strādājusi par šo.

 

"Ja redzat manu pēdējo trīs vai četras cīņas, Jūs redzēsiet, ka man ir dominējošais pirmajā pāris kārtās, un tad es izsīkšanai gāzes, Man ir strādājuši par manu izturību, lai nenotiks uz Gājiens 26.

 

"Es esmu redzējis Diaz ir cīņas. Mēs esam sparred pāris reizes. Viņš ieguva ātrumu. Viņš dabūja izsalkumu. Tas ir viņa debija HBO, tāpēc viņš noteikti ir motivēts, bet tā es esmu. Tas būs liels cīņa.

 

"Es gribu būt čempions vārdu. Es zinu, ka viņš to vēlas arī. Sestdien, mēs zinām, kas to vēlas vairāk. Mēs abi vēlamies uzvarēt, un mēs abi apmācība win. Cīņa starp jaudu un ātrumu ir liels spēles-up. Nemaz nerunājot, ka viņš ir Meksikas un es esmu puertorikāņu. Jūs varat sagaidīt lielu cīņu, un tas nav viens jūs nevēlaties palaist garām. "
