TOP WELTERWEIGHTS: THURMAN-PORTER WINNER TOO CLOSE TO CALL

Ini Hari Sabtu, Bulan Juni 25, Live in Primetime at 9 p.m. DAN/6 p.m. PT CBS
Klik DISINI For PBC Fighter Prediction Video
NEW YORK (Bulan Juni 22, 2016) – Their peers in the welterweight division – Juara dunia, former champions, contenders and top prospects – can’t pick a definitive winner between defending WBA 147-pound king Keith “Satu Kali” Thurman (26-0, 22 Biaya) dan mantan juara dunia “Showtime” Shawn Porter (26-1-1, 16 Biaya).
The majority of the fighters polled – some of whom are potential opponents down the line for the winner – lean toward Thurman, but most all concede that Sabtu eagerly awaited main event of a SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® on CBS event, presented by Premier Boxing Champions (9 p.m. DAN/6 p.m. PT) at Barclays Center is going to be an intense, menarik, tight fight from start to finish that could go either way.
Here’s how the boxers see “Thurman vs. Memakai”:
Danny Garcia (WBC kelas welter Champion): “I think this is a great matchup. Thurman has the boxing ability and the movement while Shawn Porter is the aggressor and he’s going to bring the heat. To be honest with you it’s a 50-50 pertarungan, but I would give the edge to Keith Thurman by a very close decision.”
Kell Brook (IBF kelas welter Champion):”This is a great fight, one I can’t wait to watch. If Shawn can stick to his boxing I think he can become world champion again on points, but Keith is heavy-handed and he could walk Shawn onto one – it’s really a pick ’em fight for me.”
Errol Spence Jr. (Tak terkalahkan kelas welter Contender): “I think this is a great fight between young fighters with good skill. Shawn throws a lot of punches while Thurman is a boxer who can punch too. I know Shawn will be aggressive and it should make for a great fight. If Keith can box and keep Shawn Porter on the outside I see Keith Thurman winning. If Shawn stays on the inside and stays in the chest of Keith, I see him winning.”
Berto lainnya (Former Welterweight Champion): “Shawn is going to come, but I think Keith will be on his toes and box but also drop hard shots as well when Shawn comes in. Keith can be very versatile in there and has a lot of great skills, while Shawn is more like a bull. Keith will hurt or knock Shawn down but will keep coming all night.”
Sammy Vazquez (Tak terkalahkan kelas welter Contender): “Shawn is a pressure fighter and Thurman used to be a pressure fighter but now he boxes. It’s really hard for me to decide who is going to come out on top. Thurman has good power. It all depends on how Shawn is able to take Thurman’s punches. I think Thurman because of the power but Shawn will bring it for 12 rounds.”
Robert Guerrero (Former Welterweight Champion): “This is a fight the fans are going to love watching. Both Thurman and Porter bring exciting styles to the ring. I think if Porter can keep the fight on the inside he’ll have a better chance to come out victorious. But Keith Thurman is a very smart and powerful fighter and will make the right adjustments. I just think Thurman is going to outbox Porter. I’m picking Thurman to win by decision in a very tough fight.”
Luis Collazo (Former Welterweight Champion): “I’m not sure who the favorite is, but I’m going with Porter. I like his style and I think it’s going to be interesting to see how Thurman holds up with the pressure Porter is going to bring.”
Devon Alexander (Former Welterweight Champion): “Ini adalah pertarungan yang sangat menarik. Both fighters are come forward type fighters and they swing for the fences when they throw. I don’t know who will come out on top because they have similar styles. Shawn Porter has decent power, but out of the two Keith has the more power. Kita lihat saja nanti. This is boxing.”

Sugar Ray Leonard & Thomas Hearns, Two Hall of Fame Welterweight Champions, Weigh-In on the Keith Thurman-Shawn Porter 147-Pound Championship Battle at Barclays Center on Saturday, Bulan Juni 25 Hidup di CBS

Tinggalkan komentar

“The winner of Thurman-Porter will immediately move into the
welterweight penthouse.” – Leonard
“I know that Porter and Thurman both have the ability to get each other out of there. It’s going to be a matter of who gets to who first.” –Hearns
NEW YORK (Juni 20, 2016) – Sugar Ray Leonard dan Thomas “Centeng” Hearns might be uniquely qualified to talk about what WBA welterweight champion Keith “Satu Kali” Thurman dan “Showtime” Shawn Porter are thinking and feeling heading into their battle that pits two men against each other who are in their primes in a highly charged battle for supremacy in the talent-laden welterweight division.
The highly anticipated showdown headlines SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® pada tanggal CBS dipersembahkan oleh Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) with televised coverage starting at 9 p.m. DAN/6 p.m. PT.
Leonard had a record of 30-1 dengan 21 KOs and held the WBC welterweight title when he took on Hearns, yang 32-0 dengan 30 KOs and held the WBA title, in a 15-round title unification match in Las Vegas on September 16, 1981. The match was billed as “The Showdown” and had a worldwide television audience of 300 juta.
The fight was a pitched back-and-forth battle, but Hearns appeared to be in control having won rounds nine through 12 pada semua tiga hakim’ Scorecard. It was between rounds 12 dan 13 that Leonard’s trainer, the late Angelo Dundee, famously screamed at Leonard: “You’re blowing it now, son! You’re blowing it!”
Leonard, with his left eye badly swollen, turned the tide in the 14th round by staggering Hearns with an overhand right and then pinning Hearns on the ropes and unleashing a barrage of punches, which prompted referee Davey Pearl to stop the fight, giving Leonard the victory and making him the undisputed welterweight champion and king of the division. At the time of the stoppage Hearns was leading on all three scorecards – 124-122, 125-122 dan 125-121.
“It was the toughest fight of my life. It took every ounce of will and strength to beat Tommy Hearns. I couldn’t have taken that many of those in my career,” Leonard said. “The Tommy Hearns fight was the one that propelled me to the penthouse.”
Leonard felt like the victory over Hearns launched him into superstardom. He believes the same thing awaits the winner of Thurman-Porter.
Hearns on the fight: “I wanted to show my world my boxing ability. They knew I could knock people out, but they didn’t know that I could box very well.”
Both Leonard and Hearns said they are anxiously awaiting the match between Thurman and Porter because they believe it will hold just as much drama as their match 35 bertahun-tahun lalu.
“Ya, you can make the comparison,” Leonard said. “Both guys are at the top of the welterweight division. The only thing that’s different is that me and Tommy were so well known by sports fans. We were on TV a lot, and that’s what built our names and gave people the chance to see us so much. And that’s what they’re doing now with the PBC and the shows being on network TV. This could be a fight like ours. Siapa tahu? But I do know that the fans are waiting on this fight.”
HOW DO YOU PREPARE TO FACE THE BEST MAN IN YOUR DIVISION?
HEARNS: “It’s always hard to get prepared for someone like that because you think about what the outcome is going to be and what are your chances of winning the fight. I never thought about losing, but I thought about what my chances were.
I knew if I went out and boxed the way I knew I could box, I would beat Ray. Just the thought of fighting Ray brought a lot of questions to my mind. Some I had answers to and some I didn’t have. Most other guys I knew I could go out there and knock them out.”
WHAT EXCITES YOU ABOUT THIS MATCHUP?
LEONARD: “Just the heart of Keith and Shawn. Both of these guys have heart and both have that will. That composure. You can’t teach composure. It’s something that you either have or you don’t. You can’t learn that. That deep, deep composure when your left eye is closed and your liver is busted and you got to get up on the canvas.”
HEARNS: “I know Thurman and Porter have the ability to get each other out of there. It’s going to be a matter of who gets to who first. I’m definitely watching. I hope to be there in person.”
HOW IMPORTANT IS THE MENTAL ASPECT OF THIS MATCH?
HEARNS: “I know what it’s like to go against somebody that people don’t think you can beat. You have to prepare for that. It’s a mental stage that you go through, how you prepare your mind. If you can control your mind and tell your body what you’re going to do, then you can do it. You can’t worry about how good the other guy can punch. Just stay out of the way. Keep on laying that stick on him and he won’t be able to punch you.”
WHAT WAS YOUR MENTALITY GOING INTO THE MATCH AGAINST LEONARD?
HEARNS: “I didn’t come to go 12 atau 15 putaran. I came to whip your butt and go home. I had no desire to go 15 putaran. I trained for it, but I was never going 15 rounds.”
WHAT WAS YOUR MENTALITY GOING INTO THE MATCH AGAINST HEARNS?
LEONARD: “I felt that I could beat anyone. My brother Roger didn’t think I could beat Tommy. He didn’t tell me that until it was over. In training camp I used to box Roger and he would land a lot of right hands. He figured if Tommy’s right hand landed on me it would be over. My brother didn’t have much confidence in me.”

Dalam perayaan persaingan terbaik di SHOWTIME, lihat di bawah untuk kolom khusus dari analis ahli SHOWTIME Sports dan sejarawan tinju Steve Farhood.

 

LEGENDS

Oleh Steve Farhood

 

Tinju tanpa legenda akan seperti agama tanpa orang suci.

Tidak ada formula bagi seorang petarung untuk maju dari bintang menjadi superstar menjadi legenda. Prosesnya tergantung waktu, keadaan, dan terkadang hanya satu atau dua poin pada juri’ kartu-kartu.

Dan oh, ya: Ini membantu jika seorang pria benar-benar bisa bertarung.

Saat kita merayakan 30 tahun bertinju di SHOWTIME, kami fokus pada tema yang berbeda setiap bulan. Sepanjang Maret, temanya adalah Legenda.

Dalam 130 tahun dari John L. Sullivan ke Floyd Mayweather, tinju telah memberi kita apa yang olahraga lain tidak bisa berikan. Mempertimbangkan:

  • The Associated Press memilih Luis Firpo knockdown of Jack Dempsey sebagai momen olahraga terbesar di paruh pertama abad ke-20.
  • The Frazier-Ali "Fight Of The Century" in 1971 dengan mudah menjadi acara olahraga yang paling diantisipasi dalam sejarah.
  • Pertarungan Mayweather-Pacquiao tahun lalu menghasilkan lebih dari setengah miliar dolar — dalam satu malam!

Legenda dibuat oleh momen-momen besar … dan bagaimana mereka menanggapi momen-momen itu.

Pada SHOWTIME, kami telah menampilkan legenda selama tiga dekade. Berikut ini pandangan mereka yang akan berbagi sorotan di bulan Maret.

MARVIN HAGLER: Karena Vince Lombardi tidak mengatakannya dengan tepat, “Pengaturan waktu bukanlah segalanya, itu satu-satunya,Hagler seharusnya mengatakannya.

Hagler adalah petarung hebat jauh sebelum dia menjadi superstar, tapi tidak sampai dia melawan Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns, dan Sugar Ray Leonard (tiga dari enam pertarungan terakhir Hagler) bahwa Marvin menjadi Luar Biasa.

Satu penampilan Hagler di SHOWTIME, yang kebetulan merupakan pertarungan pertama yang disiarkan di jaringan (Bulan Maret 1986), adalah kemenangan terakhir dalam karirnya. Tak terkalahkan 10 tahun, Hagler telah membuktikan dirinya sebagai salah satu kelas menengah terbesar dalam sejarah. Dan sementara dapat diperdebatkan di belakang bahwa pada usia 31, petarung kerah biru pamungkas sedikit melewati masa jayanya, banyak dari apa yang membuat Hagler istimewa diperlihatkan selama pembelaannya yang kejam terhadap penantangnya yang tak terkalahkan dan ganas, John Mugabi.

Hampir tiga dekade setelah pensiun, Hagler tetap menjadi kelas menengah saat ini dengan 160 pon diukur.

GULA RAY LEONARD: Jika Hagler mekar terlambat, Leonard adalah seorang superstar sebelum dia melemparkan satu pukulan sebagai seorang profesional.

Kembali di pertengahan tahun 70-an, itulah senyuman yang magnetis, medali emas olimpiade, dan paparan berulang di televisi prime time bisa dilakukan untuk seorang pejuang muda.

Sungguh ironis bahwa Leonard pada awalnya dipandang oleh beberapa orang sebagai ciptaan media yang dimanjakan. Faktanya, dia sekuat petarung bertabur bintang di awal tahun 80-an. Lebih baik, dia tetap menjadi petarung terbaik yang pernah saya bahas 38 tahun di pukulan tinju.

Penampilan Leonard di SHOWTIME adalah pertarungan kedua dari belakang dalam karirnya. Dalam memilih untuk mengakhiri PHK panjang lainnya, Sugar Ray, 34, memilih peraih gelar kelas welter super berusia 23 tahun, Terry Norris sebagai lawannya. Leonard turun dari 160 untuk 154 pound dan bertarung di Madison Square Garden untuk pertama kalinya.

Pertarungan itu berfungsi sebagai pengingat bahwa setidaknya di dunia pra-Bernard Hopkins, tinju adalah permainan anak muda.

FELIX TRINIDAD: Hanya ada tiga pejuang Hispanik yang menjadi superstar di AS tanpa berbicara bahasa Inggris. Yang pertama adalah Roberto Duran dari Panama. Yang kedua adalah Julio Cesar Chavez dari Meksiko.

Yang ketiga adalah Trinidad Puerto Riko.

Motto Trinidad mungkin juga demikian, “Jika Anda tidak bisa dari Amerika, lalu kalahkan Amerika. ”

Pons klasik dengan senyuman pramuka dan kepribadian yang ramah penggemar, Trinidad membuat namanya dengan mengalahkan empat AS. Olympians, Pernell Whitaker, Oscar De La Hoya (meskipun dengan keputusan yang buruk), David Reid, dan Fernando Vargas.

Tambahan Pula, Whitaker, De La Hoya, dan Reid semuanya adalah peraih medali emas.

Pertarungan yang akan kita bahas Bulan Maret 17 pada SHO EXTREME, Trinidad vs.. Reid, adalah penampilan ke-14 Trinidad dan penampilan terakhirnya di SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING dan SHOWTIME bayar-per-tayang.

Dari kayo pemenang gelar kelas welternya Maurice Blocker di 1993 melalui pertahanannya melawan Mahenge Zulu masuk 1998, 13 dari Trinidad 14 pertarungan disiarkan pada SHOWTIME. Dua belas dari pertarungan itu adalah kemenangan KO.

Di mana Trinidad sejajar dengan Wilfredo Gomez, Miguel Cotto, Carlos Ortiz, Wilfred Benitez, dan legenda lainnya dari Puerto Rico masih bisa diperdebatkan. Apa yang tidak bisa dibantah adalah bahwa "Tito" menghasilkan kegembiraan yang sama seperti petarung di jamannya.

RICARDO LOPEZ: Apa yang lebih kecil: kemungkinan bahwa strawweight (105 pon) menjadi bintang televisi Amerika atau petarung itu sendiri?

Tidak pernah ada juara dunia kelas jerami Amerika (atau bobot minimum). Kami hanya tidak menumbuhkan pejuang sebesar itu. Faktanya, sampai kemunculan Lopez dari Meksiko di awal tahun 90-an, sebagian besar penggemar tinju Amerika tidak dapat mengidentifikasi satu pun kelas jerami jika dipersenjatai dengan peta dunia dan serangkaian peringkat WBC.

Lopez sangat lengkap, sangat dominan, sangat sempurna secara teknis, itu dari 1994 ke '99, dia adalah inti dari program tinju SHOWTIME. Dia berkelahi 13 pertarungan berturut-turut di SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING atau SHOWTIME Pay-Per-View, dan yang pertama 11 dari kontes itu adalah mempertahankan gelar kelas jerami.

Dan jika Anda berpikir orang-orang kecil tidak bisa meninju, dengan baik, ada beberapa kayo satu pukulan yang ditaburkan.

Lopez, yang pensiun dengan tanda 51-0-1, secara universal diakui sebagai yang terbaik sepanjang masa. Sayang sekali dia tidak pernah bertarung melawan Michael Carbajal dari Amerika di kelas terbang ringan. Apakah dia memenangkan pertarungan itu?, dia kemungkinan akan diakui sebagai salah satu dari dua atau tiga petarung Meksiko terhebat yang pernah ada.

Yang mengatakan banyak untuk seorang pejuang yang tidak pernah menghadapi lawan yang diakui oleh publik Amerika menonton.
