I know firsthand just how tough Eric Molina is,אמר ווילדר. “He’s coming to win because it’s a chance for him to win a world title, and he’ll definitely push Joshua.

Molina Aims To Become First Mexican-American Heavyweight Champion

SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL Live on SHOWTIME

ב 5:30 p.m. AND / 2:30 p.m. PT From Manchester England

NEW YORK (דצמבר. 1, 2016) – If strength of schedule had anything to do with a boxer’s ranking, אריק מולינה (25-3, 19 קוס), של Weslaco, טקסס, might be rated amongst the top boxers in his division.

Consider: In June of last year, Molina went to Birmingham, עלא., to challenge undefeated WBC Heavyweight World Champion דאונטיי ויילדר (37-0, 36 קוס). מולינה, a prohibitive underdog, lost but had his moments, including staggering Wilder with a wicked shot in the third round.

This past April, Molina traveled to Poland and knocked out one of that country’s all-time great champions, תומאש Adamek, ב 10ה סיבוב.

ועכשיו, ב יום שבת, דצמבר. 10, לחיות ב ההצגה מתחילה, Molina will travel to Manchester, אנגליה, to challenge unbeaten IBF Heavyweight World Champion and hugely popular local favorite אנתוני יהושע (17-0, 17 קוס). שוב, he will enter the ring as a significant underdog.

“A lot of heavyweights haven’t walked the streets that I’ve walked through,’’ Molina said. “This is an evil sport. You lose, they write you off. It’s hard to bounce back like I have. Nothing has been given to me. I’ve earned it. I’ve done it the hard way. I enjoy the world underestimating me, but they don’t understand the struggles I’ve been through.

“This is my second world title shot, my third major fight ב 18 חודשים, and I’ll be the first Mexican-American heavyweight champ in history if I win. I’m coming into this fight like this is it for me. This is my last shot. I’m ready to fight with everything I have.

“I love these big, big fights. They don’t scare me. There is no fear in me.”

Here are Molina’s responses to a recent Q&A:

On his upcoming assignment against Joshua

“I feel great about this fight. These are the kinds of fights I want and want to be in. Before I fought Wilder I had 35 days to train; for this I’ve had about five weeks. We feel this gives us plenty of time to fix what we have to fix in training.

“This is a mission I set out for – to become the first Mexican-American heavyweight champion of the world. This is my mission. I’m looking forward to fighting Joshua and embracing the opportunity. I work very hard and put everything into it every day. I want to be the first Mexican-American heavyweight champion.

“The magnitude of this fight is everything. I put everything in. But I know I have to stay focused and relaxed.”

What do you think of Joshua?

”Obviously, he does a lot things well, but there are a lot of areas to his game we haven’t seen yet, and I’m going to test him in those areas. He really hasn’t had to take too many punches in his fights. I’m going to have to put him in spots where he’s uncomfortable. There has to be a game plan and there will be for Joshua.”

Who are the top heavyweights in the world?

“Joshua has got a great attitude. I’d say he’s the No. 1 במשקל כבד, ahead of Wilder and Tyson Fury.”

On how this fight came about

“Once I got wind that the Klitschko fight might not be happening, התחלתי לחשוב, 'נו, if not Wlad, then who?’ I looked at the rankings and didn’t see a lot of possibilities so I knew I had a chance. לאחר מכן, I got a call from Eddie Hearn with an offer and I signed a few days later. I feel truly blessed. I feel like this is my time.”

How would you describe how your career is going?

“I no longer second guess what I can do. Fighting on the road so much; fighters need that kind of experience to compete against a fighter like Joshua. You have to stay in the moment and keep focused at what you are there to do and not allow the atmosphere in the arena get to you.

“I’ve fought some of the biggest fights on the road, so I’m accustomed to it and definitely think that is my edge over (Dominic Breazeale and Charles Martin).

“Some fighters have to go down to become champion. It’s not that easy to become champion. My road sure hasn’t been that easy. I got beat by Wilder, but then I knocked out Adamek and now I’m fighting Joshua.

“I’ve been in the underdog situation. I’ve been in these fights, and that doesn’t affect me. I’m ready for it.’’

Where are you training?

“I’m training in Weslaco with my team at my own private gym. We’ve brought in some sparring partners. I took a year off from teaching so I was in the gym anyway, but now I’m training for a world title again. We’ve been working hard, putting in extra time on strength and conditioning. The plan is to take our time, try to put everything together and not rush anything. So far we’re right on the mark.’’

When do you depart for England?

“We are leaving on Dec. 2 או דצמבר. 3. לפני ש, I just need to concentrate on staying in the moment, which is to continue focusing on training and letting the future take care of itself.’’

What were your takeaways from the Wilder fight?

“In the Wilder fight, look at the first knockdown. You see how I landed on my left ankle. I rolled it over and it hurt – and got worsebut I kept fighting. The ankle was in a cast for six-seven weeks afterward.

“Take out the Wilder fight and it puts me in right in the mix with any heavyweights in the world. בשבילי, that fight was confirmation that no heavyweight can just run through me. That is one of the differences between my attitude now and before.

“At one point I didn’t have the experience –I had no amateur fights – or the confidence I have now. I now know what I can do and can’t do, I know my strengths and weaknesses more and just feel that I’ve matured into a top contender. I’m now confident in my power and the things that I can do.’’

How do you rate the victory over Adamek in your last fight?

“It was pinnacle of my career. To knock him out there, it was the biggest win of my career and set me up now for the biggest fight of my career against Joshua. I have such nice memories of that fight. I t took a full team effort to beat Adamek and it will take another full team effort to beat Joshua. Our backs are against the wall but we’ll be ready.’’

ANTHONY JOSHUA vs. ERIC MOLINA PRESS CONFERENCE QUOTES & PHOTOS FOR HEAVYWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP DEC. 10 ב- SHOWTIME®

לחץ כאן לתמונות; Credit Lawrence Lustig/Matchroom Boxing

לונדון (נובמבר. 4, 2016) – Undefeated IBF Heavyweight World Champion אנתוני יהושע (17-0, 17 קוס) ומתמודד אריק מולינה (25-3, 19 קוס) went face-to-face Friday at the kickoff press conference at Dorchester Hotel in London to formally announce their heavyweight world title fight on יום שבת, דצמבר. 10, live on SHOWTIME from Manchester Arena in Manchester. היו 17,000 tickets sold on the first day to purchase tickets.

יהושע, a British sensation and the 2012 Olympic Games heavyweight gold medalist, will be making the second defense of the title he won over Charles Martin אחרון אפריל 4. Joshua knocked out previously unbeaten דומיניק Breazeale in the seventh round last יוני 25 in his initial defense.

Molina will be getting his second opportunity at a world title. Molina has won two straight since challenging WBC title holder דאונטיי ויילדר ב 2015, כולל 10ה-TKO סיבוב על אלוף עולם לשעבר תומאש Adamek אחרון אפריל 4 בפולין.

Here’s what the heavyweights said:

ANTHONY JOSHUA:

“I don’t think that I’ll be rusty. I’m not going to say camp is smooth or great because it’s always tough and exhausting for the body. I needed a break because I live in the gym, it’s what I’ve been doing since I was 18 and I haven’t taken my foot off the gas since. The task is to express myself under the bright lights in the arena and show what we’ve worked on in the dark corners of the gym.

“I started preparing my body for camp and then training for this date. I don’t want to mention Wladimir Klitschko too much because that’s not the relevant opponentEric Molina is the man that will stand across the ring from me on דצמבר 10. He’s a tough competitor and represents a strong challenge to me. We are competing for my belt and the guys that want to become world champion raise their levels by 50-60 אחוזים.

“There’s nowhere to hide on fight night. There’s no change in my focus for Eric. Wladimir doesn’t enter the equation for me. People will talk about him and I’ll answer the questions, but that’s as far as it goes. He’s not in my mind, Eric is.

“It takes courage to step into the ring. Deontay Wilder is known as a one-punch KO artist and Eric stood up to his power, so it shows that he’s here to push the champion and take my title.

“I don’t get involved in other people’s issues or stories, it’s nothing to do with me. It wasn’t that long ago that no one cared what I was doing, so I don’t really have to prove myself to anyone aside from myself.

“The division has been blown wide open but they’ve been saying that for a while and they will keep saying it until someone dominates the division again. It’s not so much about brand and hype, it’s about guys like Eric that come with true heart and are gladiators and fight for the love of the sport, and leave everything in the ring on fight night.

“There’s a lot at stake and with Sky Sports and SHOWTIME behind us, this is a big stage to show what you have got. I’m serious about what I do and about moving forward. I don’t have a script, I can only speak from the heart; whatever Eric’s destiny is, that’s what will happen on the night. If his destiny is to become heavyweight champion, שיהיה. But my destiny is to carry on the path I am on and put in a dominant performance on an explosive night of boxing in Manchester."

ERIC מולינה:

I’ve been in these fights before. I have no amateur experience so I’m learning no the joband I’m getting better every fight. I fought five rounds against Wilder with a busted ankle, so everything you saw from me was done on one ankle. That’s the kind of guy this young man is facing. I fight with everything I’ve got. Even if I’m hurt, I still fight, because I know that one punch at any given moment can win me the fight. Anything can happen in the heavyweight division.

“I knew this fight was coming my way because nobody wants to fight him. Let’s be real. All the other fighters want to go and fight other guys and for the other belts and not face Anthony Joshua. I’m a guy that’s been in with Wilder – no one wants to fight Wilder, but I did, and that’s why I’m in London today and will be in Manchester on דצמבר. 10 putting it all on the line, body and soul. I want that IBF belt, I don’t have the option to go for another belt or down another route. This is it for me, and that means he’s going to have the toughest fight of his career, I can guarantee that.

“Tomasz Adamek had never been KO’d, so the momentum from that win in Poland was big. I felt it was time to take time off from work and put 100 percent into this.

“Back home, people know me as a certain type of fighter. On day one of my career I lost in the first round and that’s why on the back of my shirt it says ‘The Art Of Bouncing Back.’ Those aren’t just words. Boxing is the most brutal sport when it comes to trying to bounce back. Once you lose, everybody is gone from your side. There are fighters out there that say they want to bounce back but they don’t have the guts to put themselves in a position to do it. I put myself in the fight with Wilder and I went to Poland and beat Adamek to bounce back and show people who I am.

“You have to prove yourself in this sport and then you can claim the rewards. I didn’t have an easy road to get here, I’ve had to do it the hard way and I’ve earned my way here.’’

יהושע vs. Molina and Whyte vs. Chisora land on huge December 10 הצג

AJ welcomes American to Manchester – Whyte and Chisora meet for Brit belt – Yafai in World title action – Quigg returns

 

Anthony Joshua MBE is set to defend his IBF World Heavyweight title against Eric Molina at the Manchester Arena on דצמבר 10, live on Sky Sports Box Office in the UK and on Showtime in the U.S.

 

Joshua puts his crown on the line for the second time and fights his third American in a row having destroyed Charles Martin inside two rounds to rip the title from the St. Louis man in April at The O2 in London and then stopping Dominic Breazeale in the seventh round at the same venue in June, extending his unbeaten run in the paid ranks to 17 נצחונות, all inside the distance.

 

Molina becomes the latest man to attempt to derail the Olympic Gold medal hero, the Texan is looking to get his hands on the top prize in his second World title tilt after challenging Deontay Wilder for the WBC crown in June 2015. The 34-year-old enters the bout full of confidence after travelling to Poland and knocking out Tomasz Adamek in the tenth round of their clash for the IBF Inter-Continental strap in April.

 

“I am pleased that everything is now set for דצמבר 10 and I can concentrate on getting the business done in the ring,” said Joshua. “There has been plenty of talk about who I may face but all I’m doing is concentrating on finishing Molina in style and putting on a great show.

 

“Every fight is dangerous in this division and this is no exception. I saw Molina have a great fight with Wilder and he is now coming off a strong KO win against Adamek in Poland.

 

“I’m expecting this to be the toughest fight of my career so far and I will be ready for an all-out war.”

 

“There is no Heavyweight in the world that has bounced back like I have,” said Molina. “That’s the man that Joshua faces on דצמבר 10, and that man is a very dangerous one.

 

“He’ll fight the toughest Molina that anybody has ever seen, just like Adamek fought the toughest Molina.

 

“I’m confident. These type of fights don’t shake me up, I’m a very strong mental fighter. I know exactly what I’ve got to do to prepare myself in the amount of time. I know exactly what I’ve got to do, מבחינה נפשית, מבחינה פיזית, to go there and perform.

 

“When you walk out into the atmosphere, half the battle is the mental battle, and if you can stay in the moment mentally you have a shot in any fight.”

 

There’s a huge card in support of the main event as Dillian Whyte defends his British Heavyweight title against bitter London rival Dereck Chisora in an official eliminator for the WBC title. Whyte makes the second defence of his strap after seeing off fellow Brixton man Ian Lewison in Glasgow last month, while former World title challenger Chisora can get his hands on the Lord Lonsdale belt for the second time.

 

Scott Quigg returns to action after treatment on his broken jaw following his unification blockbuster with Carl Frampton, and the Bury star moves up to Featherweight as he looks to regain his status as a World champion.

 

Kal Yafai can become Birmingham’s first World champion but the unbeaten 27 year old faces a tough task to rip the WBA Super-Flyweight title against Luis Concepcion, the two-weight World champion that will enter the ring in his 11ה World title outing.

 

Irish amateur sensation Katie Taylor boxes for the second time in the paid ranks after making her pro debut at The SSE Arena, Wembley on נובמבר 26, Heavyweight wrecking ball ‘King Kong’ Luis Ortiz fights in Europe for the second time after clashing with Malik Scott in Monte-Carlo on נובמבר 12 and Hosea Burton will defend his British Light-Heavyweight title against Frank Buglioni.

 

“The Heavyweight division has been turned on its head in the last few months and while many are standing still waiting, I’m delighted to get this huge card up and running in Manchester,"אמר האמרגן אדי הרן.

 

“I have spoken to Eric Molina at length and I know this is going to be a big test for Anthony. We saw in the Wilder fight that he can punch and doesn’t give in and is coming off a strong knockout win against Adamek in his back yard in Poland. We have requested an exception from the IBF for this fight and although the plans are for a major unification in the spring this fight requires Anthony’s full focus.

 

“The card is one of the strongest we have produced, supported by a huge all-British Heavyweight grudge match between Dillian Whyte and Dereck Chisora which will be an official eliminator for the WBC World title.

 

“We are delighted to see the return of Scott Quigg who will now campaign at Featherweight and Birmingham’s Kal Yafai has a chance to make history in a brutal fight against World champion Luis Concepcion.

 

“One of the most exciting Heavyweights in world boxing Luis Ortiz will feature and Ireland’s Katie Taylor will continue to break the mould in front of a sold out 21,000 קָהָל. The re-scheduled Britsih Light-Heavyweight clash between Hosea Burton and Frank Buglioni is sure to produce fireworks and there will also be further names added in the following weeks.”

Hamed dominated Johnson, who was making his 12ה defense, from the third round on, scoring the bout’s lone knockdown with a huge uppercut in the eighth. Hamed was ahead by 69-63, 69-64 ו 69-65 when it was stopped at2:27 של הסיבוב.

 

Four starts later, Hamed won his United States debut with a wild fourth-round knockout over Kelly, a former WBC Champion, במדיסון סקוור גארדן.

 

Hatton vs. Tszyu – June 4, 2005, M.E.N. זירה, מנצ'סטר, אנגליה
The largely unproven but hungry Hatton scored one of the most sizeable stunners in British history and announced his entry to the upper echelons of the world boxing scene by recording an 11ה-round TKO over Tszyu for the unified IBF, Ring and lineal light-welterweight titles.

 

This is regarded as the signature performance in Hatton’s career; the stamina, aggression and heart he displayed is now legendary. A massive underdog against a dominant, feared champion and one of the world’s top ליש"ט תמורת פאונד מתאגרפים, Hatton won when Tszyu failed to answer the bell for the 12th round. לאחר 11, Hatton was ahead by 107-102, 106-103 ו 105-104.

Calzaghe vs. Lacy – March 4, 2006, M.E.N. זירה, מנצ'סטר, אנגליה
In the most important and anticipated super middleweight match since רוי ג'ונס ניצח ג'יימס Toney ב 1994, Calzaghe produced a masterpiece and the performance of his career, thoroughly overwhelming the previously unbeaten IBF kingpin Lacy. It was a Brit Beatdown at its brutal best, a wipeout from the outset. Calzaghe cut Lacy over both eyes and caused blood to flow from Lacy’s nose midway through a fight that could have been stopped several times, and floored him in the 12th.

By impressively prevailing over Lacy, Calzaghe also earned the The טבעתאליפות, becoming the first super middleweight to be recognized as world champion by The Ring.

Froch vs. טיילור – April 25, 2009, Foxwoods Resort Casino in Foxwoods, קונטיקט.
Froch registered one of the most dramatic finishes to a world title fight sinceחוליו סזאר צ'אבס, behind on points, נעצר Meldrick טיילור two seconds from the end of the 12th round in 1990.

Froch, making his second U.S. start and initial defense of the WBC title, survived a third-round knockdown – the first of his career, amateur and pro – to finish Taylor with 14 seconds left.

 

Froch hurt and staggered Taylor with a cracking right hand just over a minute into the 12th. Desperate to get the knockout, he continued to belt Taylor all over the ring. With about 90 seconds left, Taylor went down from a barrage of head shots. He barely arose at nine with 0:29 remaining but had no defense for an ensuing barrage of damaging blows.

כריס Eubank (45-5-2, 23 קוס), of Brighton, אנגליה, was one of the top British super middles of all-time; he was responsible for helping British boxing ride a peak of popularity in the 1990s. After winning the WBO 160-pound title by stopping Benn and making three subsequent defenses , Eubank moved up to 168, captured the WBO crown and retained it 14 פעמים (12-0-2) over a five-year-period. One of the draws came against WBC champion Benn in world title unification in their rematch in October 1993.

 

Nigel “Dark Destroyer” Benn (42-5-1, 35 קוס), of West Ham, אנגליה, went pro in January 1997 וזכיתי ראשון 22 fights by knockout. He took the WBO 160-pound belt with an eighth-round TKO over דאג דוויט באפריל 29, 1990, באטלנטיק סיטי. In his first defense, he stunned the boxing world by scoring a devastating TKO 1 over former middleweight world champion Barkley on Aug. 18, 1990. In his next outing, Benn fought Eubank the first time. He captured the WBC 168-belt in October 1992 and made nine successful defenses.

 

נסים חאמד (36-1, 31 קוס), שפילד, אנגליה, was a global superstar. He was known, loved, despised and acclaimed as one of the greatest British pound for pound boxers of all time. He was known for his marvelous movement and entertaining, albeit unconventional antics. He held multiple world championships at משקל נוצה and made 16 consecutive featherweight world title defenses. He was considered the linear world champ at 126 pounds for five years (1995-2000) and was The Ring Magazine’s No. 1 Featherweight Fighter from 1997‑2000.

 

Ricky “The Hitman” Hatton (45-3, 32 קוס) מנצ'סטר, אנגליה, is viewed by many as the No. 1 British 140-pounder of all time. הוא היה 2005 טבעתMagazine Fighter of the Year, the first British boxer to receive the award since its inception in 1928. He was also the 2005 ESPN and אגרוף אגודת סופרים של אמריקה לוחם של השנה. During his15-year career (1997-2012), he held various world titles at junior welterweight and one at welterweight. He reached the pinnacle of his profession in June 2005 when he upset Tszyu to seize the unified IBF, Ring and lineal 140-pound titles.

ג'ו Calzaghe (46-0, 32 קוס) is the longest-reigning super middleweight world champion in history, having held the WBO title for more than 10 years and making 21 successful defenses before relinquishing it to move up to light heavyweight. As his reins at 168 ו 175 pounds overlapped, he retired with the longest continual time as world champion of any active fighter. Calzaghe annihilated IBF Super Middleweight Champion Jeff “Left Hook” Lacy to become world super middleweight champion on March 4, 2006. He held the WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO, טבעת מגזין ו lineal בינוני סופר כותרות, as well as The טבעת כבד משקל קל כותרת.
Carl “The Cobra” Froch (33-2, 24 קוס), of Nottingham, אנגליה, was a four-time בינוני סופר world champion who possessed an aggressive, סִגְנוֹן, toughness and granite chin. Froch won the WBC crown twice and was the WBA titleholder from 2013-2015 ו IBF champion from 2012-2015. ב 2013, the מחווה למאמן LHU Ken Cox listed him as the best British pound-for-pound boxer.

 

One outing after Froch captured the WBC belt with a triumph over ז'אן פסקלבמאי 2008, he rattled the boxing world by producing one of the most remarkable comebacks in history. Rallying from an early knockdown and a four-point deficit on two of the scorecards entering the final round, Froch came on to batter former undisputed middleweight champion ג'רמיין טיילור senseless and knock him out at 2:46 של 12ה באפריל 25, 2009. כמה חודשים מאוחר יותר, Froch entered the Super Six World Boxing Classic on SHOWTIME, where he got the only two defeats of his career, losing decisions to מיקל קסלר, ולאנדרה וורד in the finals.

BROOKLYN (יוני 26, 2016) - Prizefighting חזר ללמ"ס ביום שבת עם מועמד קרב השנה כאלוף העולם הבלתי מנוצח במשקל וולט קית 'תורמן קצה אלוף העולם לשעבר שון פורטר בהחלטה צמודה אך פה אחד 115-113 על ידי כל שלושת השופטים בצלעות.

 

The 12,718 אוהדים שנכחו במרכז ברקליס בברוקלין והצופים ברחבי ארה"ב. צופה באירוע האיגרוף בפריים טיים הראשון ב- CBS מאז מוחמד עלי-ליאון ספינקס 1978 טופלו בסלגפסט בין שניים מהכוכבים הבהירים ביותר בחטיבת הזוהר של האיגרוף.

 

תורמן (27-0, 22 קוס) ופורטר (26-2-1, 16 קוס) בשילוב לזרוק 1200 אגרופים באירוע תיבת האליפות SHOWTIME באירוע CBS, מוגש על ידי אלופי פרמייר באגרוף. עימות המרקיזות היה סיפור של דיוק לעומת. פעילות, כשתורמן נחת 50 אחוזים מיריות כוחו, לְעוּמַת 38 אחוזים עבור פורטר, ו 44 אחוזים מכלל האגרופים שלו לעומת סתם 36 אחוזים עבור המתמודד. ואילו תורמן נחת באחוזים גבוהים יותר, פורטר היה הלוחם העמוס ביותר, זורק מעל 100 אגרופים נוספים 12 סיבובים.

 

"One Time" ו- "Showtime" נמסרו כפי שפורסם, עם הקליפ החזק החזק את פורטר מספר פעמים, ואילו פורטר הרוחש והמתנפף התגלגל קדימה כדי להציק לת'ורמן לחבלים. ולמרות שלא היו דפיקות, שובר הקופות קדימה ואחורה מעולם לא חסר פעולה והגיע לשיאה בקריאה באירוע האיגרוף השני שנכח ביותר בהיסטוריה של מרכז ברקליס.

 

“אני רוצה להודות לשון פורטר על מאבק אדיר. הוא לוחם נהדר,אמר תורמן. "הגנה היא המפתח לניצחון. הוא סופג את מכותיו הרבה ומקשה על השופטים להבקיע. הצלחתי לנדנד אותו בבהירות, מכות יעילות ואני מאמין שזה היה ההבדל היום.

 

"הייתי נותן לו משחק חוזר. זה היה קרב נהדר. הוא היה יריב גדול. כולם אמרו שהוא יהיה היריב הכי קשה שלי עד היום. לא הצלחתי להפיל אותו אבל אבדל אותו כמה פעמים. "

אלוף העולם לשעבר פורטר, ג'נדרמן אנדרדוג רב שנתי אך מלא, לא התלונן על היותו בקצה ההפסד של ההחלטה הצמודה השנייה שלו בתחרות.

 

"עבדנו קשה, קית 'הוא אלוף גדול,אמר פורטר. "אבא שלי אומר להחזיק את הראש למעלה. אני חושב שאני ניצחתי את הקרב, אבל אני מרוצה כי המתחרה יצא הלילה.

 

“אנחנו צריכים את הגומלין הזה. אני יודע שהאוהדים רוצים את הגומלין הזה. אם הוא נותן לי הזדמנות נוספת, אני הולך לעבוד קשה בזירה ולעזוב עם התואר שלו.”

 

הקרב הפותח של מכשיר הטלוויזיה CBS הציג התאמה של משקלי סופר בלתי מנוצחים כמו ג'ארט Hurd סיים סיכוי למתמודד לגיטימי בכיתה המוערמת של 154 פאונד עם שליטה 10ה עגול TKO מעל אוסקר מולינה.

 

הרד (18-0, 12 קוס) התחלתי לעבוד מוקדם, ריצוף מולינה בפעם הראשונה בקריירה שלו בסיבוב הפתיחה עם סיבוב נגד ימין חזק. ככל שהרד גדול וגבוה יותר היה הלוחם הפעיל יותר מלכתחילה, לפרק את האולימפיאדה המקסיקנית שטרם הובסה עם משחק פנים יעיל במיוחד. הרד זרק כמעט 750 מכה מעל 10 סיבובים, לעומת רק 376 למולינה, חיבור על 220 יריות כוח כמעט 40 קליפ אחוז.

 

הרד הטביע חותמת על הופעתו בסיבוב האחרון, לסגור את המופע על ידי הנחתת מולינה 33-7 בסיבוב האחרון. כשמולינה חוטפת מכות אכזריות ולכאורה חסרת הגנה בדקה האחרונה של הסיבוב האחרון, ריקי גונזלס נכנס לעצור את התחרות ב 2:02.

 

“זה בהחלט ניצחון גדול לקריירה שלי,אמר הרד. "הוא צילם הרבה יריות, אבל הוא ידע לשרוד. זה היה סופר גדול שהפיל אותו בסיבוב הראשון. אנשים יודעים מהקרב האחרון שלי שיש לי אותיות גדולות. הוא נפגע כמה פעמים. אני לא חושב שזו הייתה עצירה גרועה. מולינה הוא בחור קשוח מאוד שפשוט המשיך לעבור.

 

“המאבק הזה כאן מעלה אותי עם המתמודדות הבכירות בחטיבה. הרגשתי שיכולתי ללכת עוד שלושה-ארבעה סיבובים. התחזקתי ככל שהקרב נמשך. אנחנו חוזרים מיד לחדר הכושר כדי שנוכל להיכנס לשם שוב.”

 

מולינה (13-1-1, 10 קוס) מחה, אך לאחר חסימת נוקאאוט מדהימה הוא היה במרחק שניות ספורות מההפסד הראשון בקריירה שלו באמצעות החלטה פה אחד.

 

“הרגשתי שהורד זורק הרבה אגרופים בסיבוב העשירי אבל הם לא ממש פגעו בי,אמרה מולינה. "הוא נשאר עסוק אבל הוא אף פעם לא ממש פגע בי.

 

“הלכתי נמוך והיה לי ראש למטה והוא תפס אותי בסיבוב הראשון בסיבוב הראשון. הוא קיבל אותי עם זריקה שלא ציפיתי לה אבל זה בהחלט היה מציאת פלאש. לא נפגעתי.

 

“הייתי אמור להשתמש בעבודת הרגליים שלי הרבה יותר, אבל בסופו של דבר חנקתי את הזריקות שלי. הייתה לו הגנה מביכה עם הרבה כיפוף ולא יכולתי להיכנס לקצב.

 

“זו הייתה הזדמנות גדולה עבורי והרגשתי שנלחמתי במאבק טוב. אני הולך לחזור חזק יותר. אנחנו הולכים לעבוד על הרבה דברים ונחזור לשם.”

להלן ציטוטים של יהושע לאחר יום שבת ניצחון ב- SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL:

 

רבים חשבו שדומיניק בריזל לא יוכל לעמוד בכוחך ובמהירותך, אבל האם היית אסיר תודה על ההזדמנות לעבוד קצת יותר מכישורי האיגרוף שלך?

"נו, זה קשה כי אתה יכול לראות שהם נפגעים מכל זריקה – ובכן לא כל זריקה – אבל כשאתה מתחיל לתפוס אותם שוטפים, הם יכולים לחוש את הצילומים עם כפפות עשר האונקיות האלה. אז, זה רק עניין של זמן, אבל תוך כדי כך לא רציתי לקבל שום חצבים בדרך חזרה.

 

"זה היה קשה שהיו לי חופשות של שבועיים אחרי הקרב האחרון שלי, וחזרתי ישר לחדר הכושר אז זה היה קשה. אני מקבל הפסקה קטנה ונחמדה פעם אחת ואז אוכל לחזור עם סוללות טעונות.”

 

אנו יודעים שדונטיי ווילדר צפה בקרב. יש לך הודעה בשבילו, אלוף ה- WBC?

“אדם השראה לא יאומן. הוא היה סבלני, 30-קרבות מוזרים [ו] הושיט את ידיו ל- WBC [חֲגוֹרָה]. אני הולך בעקבותיו. אני עושה את דרכי לארה"ב. עם SHOWTIME שמגבה גם אותי. אז, הוא צפה בזה.

 

“הוא יכול לאסוף את כל מה שהוא רוצה להרים מזה, אבל זה כל כך שונה כשאתה בזירה זה עם זה. אז יום אחד נזכה לחוות על מה זה.”

 

עם מי אתה רוצה להילחם אחר כך?

“ובכן אני חושב שזה יהיה חייב להיות כזה של [יוסף] פארקר. באמת הסתכלתי על זעם ... אני מקווה שהוא ישתפר בקרוב. הוא פגע בקרסולו למרבה הצער, שדחה את זה כי קיוויתי לקבל את זה קצת בחורף אם הכל ילך כשורה 9 ביולי כמו שזה עשההלילה, אבל נצטרך לתזמן את זה ובינתיים, אנחנו יכולים להסתכל על יריבים אחרים כמו פארקר, אם הוא פנוי, או כל אחד אחר שהעם רוצה.”

 

מה אתה חושב שאתה עדיין צריך לעבוד על?

"מנוחה. אני צריך לנוח. אני עייף, אני עובד קשה וכמו שאמרתי, עכשיו אני יכול להשיג

Below is what the fighters had to say at the final press conference, followed by some recent fight week quotes. (Courtesy Sky Sports and Matchroom Sport)

 

ANTHONYJOSHUA:

 

You’re in my jungle now. אין עלי לחץ.

 

“Once that bell goes, you can’t hide the instinct, the instinct that you want to get someone out of there. I hope I can go in there, stay relaxed and do what I planned to do. But once that bell rings something just comes over you and you want to get him out of there ASAP.

 

There will always be pressure. But look, it’s always been the same concept: Train hard – it’s the same ring. It hasn’t changed.

 

I’ve got nothing to lose. I’ve always explained let’s get rid of the belts, the atmosphere, because when the bell goes it’s just me and him in the ring. Two gladiators, two respectful warriors coming together. We’re going to slug it out and put our 0s on the line.

 

“I’m prepared, Dominic is prepared well, and one of us has to take a loss.

 

Each fight is a stepping stone to the big tests. I want to look like the real deal.

 

I think we’re in the golden era of boxing again.”

 

דומיניק בריזיל:

I respect you as a fighter, but I’m going to beat you. I’ve got to beat the best of the best.

 

“אני לא יכול לחכות, it’s been an opportunity I’ve been waiting eight years for this. It’s an opportunity of a lifetime and I’m ready for this.

 

“מצפים זיקוקין. We’ll be going round for round, punch for punch and I expect to knock out Joshua.

 

“I got a big right hand, I have a big left hook. I stand 6-foot-7, 255 קילו. I’m unorthodox – I’m a guy that can fight on the inside, I’m a guy that can take a punch, I’m a guy that can give a punch. So if any one of those given things show up ביום שבת night I’m getting a knockout, בטוח.

 

“It’s a major advantage just for me to have Anthony Joshua the whole time. I don’t want him at any given point for him to feel like he’s in his comfort zone, his own backyard or his own little lion’s den.

 

“That’s what I came across the pond to do. I came across the pond to get my belt and take it back home with me.

 

“It’s my Super Bowl. Being a former football player, this is my Super Bowl.”

 

Everybody keeps comparing me to Charles Martin, the only thing that we have in common is that we’re both American. We have a completely different fight style, different goals in life.

 

I’m a big puncher, so is Anthony Joshua. He has the belt and I intend to have it ביום שבת לילה.

 

ADDITIONAL FIGHT WEEK QUOTES:

 

ANTHONY JOSHUA

 

"אני 16 קרבות, 16 נצחונות, Dominic is 17 קרבות, 17 נצחונות. We’ve been pro for the same amount of time, amateurs for the same time so we’re at a similar level on paper.

 

“People think this will end in two rounds? Brilliant. I am winning fights early because of my talent and hard work. Where I am in my career, it’s a perfect fight.

 

“I don’t overlook anyone. People talk and talk, that’s irrelevant. It’s all about whether he can fight. I think he believes in himself, but he knows what’s in store here, he needs to know I’m serious about this boxing. He thinks he’s going to KO me, he’s dismissed Charles Martinsometimes you just have to humble somebody and show levels, let them know it’s not that easy.

 

“The second I stepped in to the pros it was ‘Boom!" — Anthony Joshua – headlining. That’s not down to me, its media channels and people wanting to get to know the guy behind the gloves. So it’s been hard to build a career at the right pace without criticism because people want to see me in massive fights right now.

 

“You can’t jump from hero to zero, there are people guiding us over a long and a dangerous career. People have to understand that it’s a development of a career, and if I ever train a fighter, I’ll tell them the same thing.”

 

On fellow heavyweight world champions Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury:

“This won’t be my only defense, I want there to be lots and lots, and at the right time I will fight David Haye, טייסון זעם, Deontay Wilder and the rest. We’re in an era now where we have to fight each other. There’s never been an era when the best don’t fight the best at heavyweightbut they have to happen at the right time, and they will.

 

“We are all world champions as we hold all the belts that are available. We’re all talented. Deontay has defended his title multiple times so you have to give him credit for that. Tyson and I haven’t defended yet, so I put Deontay at the top. But Tyson beat Wladimir Klitschko who reigned for such a long time.

 

“I am happy because I became a world champion in my 16th fight and they won theirs later in their careers. But Tyson beat the main man in the division, and Deontay has defended his belt lots of times, so I am in third right now, but I am building my way up.

 

“Put the belts to one side, they don’t give you magical powers. A lot of fighters lose their belt in their first defense. It’s about developing your raw talent and making sure you keep on an upward curve because there’s hungry young challengers snapping at your heels all the time, ready to expose you – and I refuse that to happen to me.”

 

On Charles Martin:

"לפני הקרב, no one criticized (צ'ארלס) סְנוּנִית. He was undefeated, knocking guys out, tall southpaw, מְסוּכָּן. Bookies were taking a lot of bets on him knocking me out. Tyson Fury backed him to do just that and a lot of people thought it would be tricky. Up until I beat him, he was seen as a worthy fighter. I figured him out quickly and I made him look bad. He didn’t look like the champion people thought he was, but you have to respect him.”

 

On thinking about losing:

“I think about losing all the time, I’m scared of it. That keeps me humble and working hard. I don’t think people are going to beat me or anything, but I don’t want to lose, and I know that if I work hard and keep improving, I won’t lose.

 

“I get enough attention from this job. ישנם 20,000 fans at the fights, millions watching on TV around the world. I don’t need to seek attention. I’m not a trash talker because the fists do the talking.’’

 

On being a role model:

“I know that there are a lot of kids watching me now and their parents say ‘my son loves youand that’s in my mind.

 

“I’ll be myself all the time, but that sense of being a role model and having kid’s look up to you, that checks the emotions that could come out if you get wound up. You have to conduct yourself.’’

 

On Tyson Fury:

“Tyson talks a lot. I hear so many different things, if he was consistent with what he says then maybe I’d think he was digging a bit, but it’s just water off a duck’s back. I don’t know him, but as long as people are saying ‘when are you going to fight him?’ then I like him because he is relevant.

 

“It would be such a huge fight and one that would be part of my legacy. I think because he’s beaten Wladimir once he can do it again. I didn’t think he’d win the first fight, but he pulled it off.

 

“I’d love to fight Tyson – it’s a match-up that needs to happen. There have been talks, whether they are a quick chat or serious negotiations, but you can’t click your fingers and come up with a mega fight. It takes time, but they are in the pipeline and we’re building towards them, and in the meantime I want to test myself and learn my craft. I need to perform well to prove that I can handle the massive fights.’’

 

On fellow British heavyweight David Haye:

“David is running the show and people know it, so when he goes in against soft opponents, he’s putting his neck on the line to get the stick. Fans expect more from him and he’s not meeting those levels, and that’s where the backlash comes from. The people he’s calling out versus the two guys he has fought, they just don’t add up, and that’s what people are frustrated about.

 

“I don’t think you can knock the Shannon Briggs fight. He’s made a lot of noise, he’s old school and it’s a good fight for David to take, win and move upwards. Shannon had made noise and he’s got his moment and who knows? Maybe he can shock the world. He’s old, but he trains hard and he’s in great condition, and that’s why people love the heavyweights because it’s that one shot.

 

“A fight with Fury and I is the biggest fight in British boxing in my opinion. The Haye fight is big too; there’s enough media interest for it to be big. It’s already big and we’re not even fighting yet, so imagine how big it would be once we get in there. It’d be unbelievable and that’s why I am so interested in the fights.”

 

דומיניק בריזיל:

“I plan on putting on some extreme pressure and taking Joshua to places he’s never been. We’ll find out if he can handle it.

 

“Do I want to see him go into uncharted territory? כמובן, ללא ספק.

 

“I’ve been there, I know what it feels like and I’ve done it several times now. באותו הזמן, I’m not going to let an opportunity pass me. If I see something I can take in the first or second round, I’m definitely going to get him out of there.

 

“I’ve sparred guys that are bigger than me, I’ve sparred some guys smaller than me. I’ve been the tallest thus far (של יריביו המקצועיים), but I don’t think the difference in a matter of inches is going to make that big of a difference. The guys I’ve sparred with are 10 times better than Anthony Joshua.

 

“I think that it’s going to be one of those situations that it is not going to be a difference of size or weight. It’s going to be the difference of skill and experience.

 

“When you think of a heavyweight champion you want to make sure he’s fought the best, and I think that’s why Joshua has chosen me as his opponent to defend against. That’s what he plans on getting out of the situation if he can make it through the 12 סיבובים.

 

“I think Joshua’s thinking of me as a stepping stone and he’s going to be sorry about that. He’s just wrong. He’s fighting a guy at 6-foot-7, 255 pounds that brings the pressure and a great pace from round-to-round.

 

“I’m one of those guys that I might take a shot, I might work some defense or I might work a strong jab. כך או כך, I’m going to make it a fight. All of my opponents have been down on the canvas and I don’t think Joshua is going to come shy of that as well.

 

“I’ve been picked as the smaller guy in the ring, by the IBF as a stepping stone and I feel like my back is against the wall. I’m going to come out fighting.

 

“To come here and win the IBF title in London is a major thing for me that I plan to achieve. Then I want to continuing to go after all the titles.

 

“My mind set has definitely changed. The situation that I’m in mentally is just different compared to some of my fights in the past. My confidence level is through the roof and physically I feel great.

 

“I think the heavyweight division is getting ready to change. With individuals like myself, Deontay and Tyson, we have guys who are characters who bring a lot of charisma to the division. That’s something that we need. כן, we are athletes but in the end we are entertainers and we want to see a show. I’m the type of guy that brings a show every single time I fight. It’s action-packed from the opening bell to the end, and fight fans are looking for that. That’s what is going to resurrect the heavyweight division.’’

 

On his win over Amir Mansour:

“That was another confidence booster for me. It’s one thing to finish a guy in the first round with three punches or something like that. It’s another thing to finish a guy in the sixth, seventh round with a combination of shots.

 

“Amir put me down on the canvas in the second, I battled back and ended up breaking the man’s jaw.

 

“It gives me something to work on. I know I was able to come back and be very successful from it. Anytime you get a win of that matter where you get a guy, break him down, break him down where he quits on the stool, it’s a huge confidence booster. It makes you understand as an athlete or as a professional boxer that you’ve got punching power, you just broke another man’s jaw.’’

 

On returning to London after the 2012 אולימפיאדה:

“I think it’s going to beautiful. It’s going to be great to go back to where my amateur career ended and beat the guy who won the gold medal. That’s going to be great. ולאחר מכן, on top of that, take away more hardware with the IBF Heavyweight title. You couldn’t ask for anything better.

 

“Then again I do understand and believe I’m a completely different fighternot only am I a professional but I no longer fight an amateur style. I would consider myself a knockout artist with some pretty good punching power and that’s what I plan on showing the UK fans and my U.S. following. It’s a chapter that needs to be closed and I plan on doing that.’’

 

On the state of the heavyweight division:

“I believe that we’ve got a lot of heavyweights who are doing real well and are real successful in their situations, some being titleholders, some not. But I think it’s going to be a revolving circle. Me fighting Anthony Joshua, then going on to Deontay and Fury, Wladimir Klitschko might even hang around for a while. Will it ever be compared to the Ali days or Riddick Bowe and the Evander Holyfield days? אני לא יודע. Bowe and Holyfield had one great trilogy and I study it all the time. So it all depends on how much each fighter has left in him.’’
