“Grunden til, at jeg spiller Throwdown Fantasy er fordi jeg er en hardcore boksning fan og jeg faktisk boksede som amatør,” Lopez said. “Mere, what’s better than getting paid for doing something I love and follow 24/7. ThrowdownFantasy.com is the best! I am on it all of the time and my wife thinks I’m addicted. Hey, det betaler sig.”
Her er et nærmere blik på Lopez’ vindende hold:

Lopez byggede sit vindende hold omkring tre solide favoritter i Tim Bradley, Edwin Rodriguez ($5800) og Vasyl Lomachenko ($5800). This trio cost him a total of $16,400 i lejren penge med kun $8600 remaining for him to spend on his final two fighters. The helping hand was provided by Karim Guerfi ($4300), den tredje billigste fighter og afgørende underdog versus Alejandro Gonzalez, Jr. Jarrett Hurd var Lopez’ endelige pick.
Ved at være den eneste spiller til at vælge fem vindere, Lopez var i stand til at samle sin 474.5 record-setting points. The rest of the top 10 slagtesvin var kun i stand til at vælge fire vindere i dette spil, og der viste sig at være forskellen.
Throwdown Fantasy all-time vindende spiller, “Yuggy,” delt anden plads med 436.4 point for en $130.00 prize. Men, han trådte hans hold tre gange for at vinde næsten lige så meget som spillet vinder, $390.00. The beauty of Throwdown Fantasy is that players may enter a contest as many times as he or she chooses, forbedre chancerne for at vinde penge.

WASHINGTON, D.C. –(Oktober. 28, 2015) -Beltway-området indfødte Gary Russell Jr. (26-1, 15 KOS) afholdt et medie træning på The Enigma Boxing Club i Capital Heights, MD tirsdag da han forbereder sin mesterskabet kamp på November 14 på SHOWTIME.
Russell Jr. vil gøre den første forsvar af sin WBC Fjervægt VM mod Colombias Oscar Escandon (24-2, 16 KOS) i de vigtigste tilfælde af SHOWTIME Championship Boxing på Lørdag, November. 14, bor på SHOWTIME (10:45 p.m. OG/PT) fra Hard Rock Hotel & Casino i Las Vegas.
Her er hvad Russell Jr., Gary Russell Sr. (Garys far og træner) og Gary Antonio Russell(Garys lillebror og ubesejret boksning udsigten) havde at sige tirsdag:

GARY RUSSELL JR.:
“Træningslejr går godt, vi er lige på vej. Der var en mindre problem i lejren, fordi jeg skulle til at kæmpe den okt. 24. Jeg begyndte sparring, but once the fight got pushed back to November 14 I cut the sparring off. Jeg ønskede ikke at toppe for tidligt.
“I dag (Tirsdag) var min første dag tilbage sparring igen. Jeg arbejder på min timing, ring generalship and lateral movement. We’re right on course.
“Oscar Escandon er stærkt og holdbart. Han kommer lige frem. Hvis hans hjørne var smart de ville forsøge at tage min hånd hastighed, som vil være en stor faktor i kampen. Han bliver nødt til at lukke afstanden, kvæle mine slag, så hastigheden er ikke en faktor.
“Vi arbejder på at blive lige så behagelig kampene på ydersiden, som jeg kæmper på indersiden.
“En masse af krigere er endimensionale. Vi prøver at gøre denne diamant skinne på alle sider.
“Jeg ved, at jeg vil sejre uden tvivl. Enhver, som du får i ringen med disse små, 8-ounce gloves always has a possibility of creating an upset whether he’s a big puncher or not. Det tager kun et skud. It’s the fighters’ job to take away that opportunity.
“Jeg er spændt på at bekæmpe, periode. I don’t even think about this fight being a title defense. Det tager en bestemt type af mental sejhed og psykologisk styrke til at komme i ringen og udfører. Alle, der kommer i ringen mod mig, er en mester i mine øjne.
“It’s been about seven months since I fought. I’m always anxious to get back in the ring.
“Hvis jeg komme forbi Escandon Jeg ville elske at kæmpe Leo Santa Cruz, we fought in the amateurs. But we never underestimate any opponent and we are focused on getting this fight out of the way first. Lee Selby is another guy that we’re looking at. Of course Abner Mares, selv om han mistede, would be a great fight. These are the type of guys that we’d like to fight.
“Under min familie med mig under træningslejren betyder alt for mig. Det er, hvor jeg får min energi fra. En masse fyre føle, at de er nødt til at komme væk for træningslejr, men jeg behøver ikke at forlade hjemmet. Min familie er den drivende kraft bag min træningslejr, og hvor jeg finder min magt og motivation. Ved slutningen af ​​dagen, Jeg box for min familie.
“Hvis min bror ender kampene på min undercard det ville være meget cool for mig. Det vil være sjovt, fordi hvis han ikke konkurrere, vil du helt sikkert se mig arbejde hans hjørne, før min titel kamp.”
GARY RUSSELL SR.:
“Jeg ved, det er et mesterskab kamp, men vi går ind i hver kamp som om det er en titel kamp. Vi kender ikke et ton om sin modstander, vi bare træne som mestre.
“Jeg har seks sønner, alle af dem er krigere. De har alle forskellige egenskaber som mennesker der oversætter forskelligt ind, hvem de er som mennesker, og i ringen.
“Antonio Russell er 4-0, han har arbejdet virkelig hårdt hele sit liv. Uden for gymnastiksalen, han kan ordne noget. Antoine, der netop kvalificeret til de olympiske forsøg, er genial. Jeg er meget stolt af ham, fordi han netop uddannet valedictorian af sin klasse med den højeste GPA på nogen i Prince George amt. Så har du Gary, der så hårdt arbejde, han er den fremtidige patriark af familien. Han har en gammel ånd.
“Jeg er stolt af alle mine børn, og jeg er stolt over, at vi er en stærk familie enhed. Vi lærte en masse fra Garys tab til Vasyl Lomachenko. Vi har et motto på gym, der hænger fra et banner, der står "Succes er den ultimative hævn’ og vi har levet af at lige siden tabet. Vi lærte en vigtig lektie fra denne kamp og har bevæget sig.
“Boksning er en flygtig ting, du ikke gør det for evigt. Vi gør vores egne ting. Jeg er ikke bekymret for, hvad andre mennesker har gjort.
“Som en far, din faderlige instinkt spark i, fordi i denne sport, alt kan ske. Du ønsker ikke at se din søn ender ondt. Så vi tog til enhver omstændighed. På grund af denne instinkt, Jeg har været en streng og hårdt på mine sønner for at forsøge at holde dem sikkert.”
GARY ANTONIO RUSSELL (Kæmper på Fredag, Oktober. 30 ikke-tv-transmitteret Premier Boxing Champions på Bounce TV undercard og potentielt November 14 undercard.):
“Med den måde, vi træner og kamp, vores forsvar opstiller vores offensiv og vores offensiv opstiller vores forsvar.
“Mit job er at gå derind og vinde kampe. Jeg kender min modstander er en høj fyr, men jeg ved også, at han ikke kommer til at vinde. Han har ikke stansning magt eller ring generalship, at jeg har.
“Når jeg vinder, Jeg er til den næste. Jeg er uddannet til at kæmpe konsekvent. Jeg håber, at jeg får denne fyr ud tidligt, hvis det kommer og præsenterer sig selv. Så jeg ville elske at kæmpe på min ældre brors kort to uger efter.”

Guillermo Rigondeaux’ manager accepts offer From Vasyl Lomachenko’s manager

Efterlad en kommentar

CORK, Irland (Juli 13, 2015) – Irer Gary Hyde, lederen af ​​samlet super bantamvægt (122 lbs.) verdensmester Regning “The Jackal” Rigondeaux (15-0, 10 KOS), har accepteret i princippet tilbuddet fra Egis klima, leder af World Boxing Organization (WBO) fjervægt (126 lbs.) mester Vasyl “Hi-Tech” Lomachenko (4-1, 2 KOS), for en Super Fight.

 

Rigondeaux er den regerende World Boxing Association (WBA) Super, WBO og Ringen bladets super bantamvægt mester.

 

Cubansk-native Rigondeaux, som nu bor i Miami, og ukrainsk-fødte Lomachenko er begge to-time olympiske guld medaljevindere.

 

“'Rigo’ vil kæmpe Lomachenko på et opsamlingsvægte af 124 pounds, der skulle være noget problem for Lomachenko fordi han vejede 125 pounds for en af ​​hans professionelle kampe, Hyde sagde. “'Rigo’ er en lille 122-punds, der kunne gøre 118 uden meget besvær, men han ville give væk størrelse og vægt fordele til ansigt Lomachenko.

“Vi vil insistere på en rehydrering klausul 135 pund for fight night. Hvis Klimas accepterer at dette, derefter, vi har en kamp. Lomachenko er en mesterlig fighter som 'Rigo’ og dette match- op vil være en klassisk. Vi har et par to-time olympiske guld medaljetagere og nuværende verdensmestre går på det. Jeg tror 'Rigo’ er den mere glubsk af de to kæmpere, og jeg tror fuldt og fast 'Rigo’ vil dominere Lomachenko. Klima, du ved hvad du skal gøre for at gøre kampen, bare tage telefonen og ringe til mig. 'Rigo’ er klar!”

FLOYD Mayweather

“Han er [Manny Pacquiao] is a hell of a fighter. I take my hat off to him. Now I see why he’s one of the guys that are at the pinnacle of the sport of boxing.

 

“I knew he was going to push it and win some rounds. He had some moments in the fight, but I kept him on the outside, I was a smart fighter. I wasn’t getting hit with a lot of shots until I sat in the pocket, that’s when he would land a lot of shots.

 

“Vi gjorde, hvad vi havde at gøre i aften and I’m truly blessed.

 

“I’m a calculated fighter, he’s a tough competitor.

 

“I have to take it off to my dad, without him I wouldn’t be where I’m at.

 

“He’s a very awkward fighter, so I had to take my time and watch him close.

 

“Alle 47 fights before I got to this fight played a major key in my career.

 

“Manny Pacquiao is a true champion and we both did our best i aften.

 

“When the history books are written, this fight will have been worth the wait.

 

“I have one more fight. My last fight is in September and then it’s time for me to hang it up. I’m almost 40 years old now. I’ve been in the sport 19 years and have been a champion for 18 år, I’m truly truly blessed.”

 

 

MANNY PACQUIAO

“Det var en god kamp; Jeg troede, jeg vandt kampen.

 

“He didn’t do anything. He was always moving outside.

 

“I got him many times, I saw his punches.

 

“He was moving around too much, it wasn’t easy throwing punches at him. If he would’ve stayed in one place then I could’ve thrown punches.

 

“I was cutting him and countering. I wanted to fight.

 

“I was able to handle his power; he’s not strong like previous opponents like [Anthony] Margarito.

 

“I thought I was up in the fight, so that’s why I didn’t attack harder in the 11th og 12th runder.

 

“He’s not bigger than me, it’s not about the size. The size doesn’t matter. I’ve fought guys bigger than him and had no problem.”

“I prepared very hard for this fight, like I always do. It’s going to be a historic night and I’m happy to be a part of that history.

 

“I know that everybody is here for Mayweather and Pacquiao but there will still be millions seeing me fight and I want to show them who Leo Santa Cruz is so that I can get a lot more fans.

 

“”I’m still young and there are many more fights to come. The fights the fans want, we’re going to give it to them. I know those fights are going to happen.

 

“I want to look spectacular and I want to get Cayetano out of there really fast. Sometimes these kind of fighters are the ones who give you the hardest fights because they come hungrier and have nothing to lose.

 

“Seeing my family here and having them in the arena on fight night is a huge motivation for me. I feel happier and more relaxed and I’m ready.

 

“I never underestimate a fighter. Any fighter in the ring is dangerous. I hope that Cayetano is ready so that we can give the fans a great show.”

 

JOSE CAYETANO
“I know that Leo Santa Cruz is a strong, difficult fighter but he also has weaknesses and that is what we prepared for, to give him a surprise.

“I’m a man that takes challenges and I’ve been preparing very hard, I’m always prepared for these types of fights. I’m very prepared and I feel very strongly that I will win.

“I came here for the opportunity to beat Leo Santa Cruz and for the opportunity to participate in such a grand event that is Mayweather vs. Pacquiao.

“I’m very happy and very grateful and very excited to get into the ring. It’s a huge commitment, the entire world will be watching me but that is why I accepted the fight, I know that if I beat him, bigger and better opportunities will come my way.

“I’m not nervous because it’s not the first time that I’ve faced a tough opponent. I’ve never faced a world champion but I’ve faced opponents that throw hard punches, so I’m not nervous, I’m excited.”

 

VASYL LOMACHENKO

“This is an opportunity to show everyone what I’m capable of doing and for millions of viewers to see that I can do it.

 

“The best fighters get the best opportunities in the ring, there are a lot of great fighters getting those opportunities including myself.

 

“It’s always a good feeling when people are saying good things about you.

 

“I’m very excited to be involved in a bout such as this one, Maj 2 will be a big show shown around the world. I’m very happy to be in the opening bout for this huge fight.”

 

GAMALIER RODRIGUEZ
“I’m looking forward to this big fight på lørdag. It’s a blessing to participate in this type of press conference and come Lørdag, Jeg vil vinde! I’m sure of it. I will be champion.

“All of the attention toward Vasyl Lomachenko gives me motivation. I’ve been a fighter and a boxer since I was young and it’s added motivation to come out on top this weekend.

 

“I know that Lomachenko is a good and technical fighter but it doesn’t compare to my hunger and drive to be world champion.

“I wanted to take the opportunity during my speech at the press conference to let everyone know that I can here to fight. It’s going to be a hard fought battle and I’m very confident that I’ll win and become the champion this Saturday.”

 

LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO for Mayweather Promotions

“I am so excited to be here today to discuss the great undercard which will be the lead-in to our long awaited, history making event taking place this Saturday night.

 

“The lead-in fight for Mayweather vs. Pacquiao will be a very exciting fight featuring Leo Santa Cruz and Jose Cayetano.

 

“Leo Santa Cruz is one of the classiest gentleman in the sport. He’s a very fan-friendly fighter and a Mexican warrior. He represents Mexico very well.”

 

BOB ARUM, Hall of Fame Promoter, Top placering

“I know that every fighter deems it a tremendous honor to be part of this great event. We hope and believe that we will be presenting to the public through Mayweather Promotions and Top Rank, the best of boxing and the best fighters.

 

“Vasyl Lomachenko is considered to be the greatest amateur fighter of all time. Nu, he looks for the same type of success he had as an amateur in the professional ranks. But this will be a very competitive fight, because Gamalier Rodriguez is a Puerto Rican who comes to fight and believes that he can upset Vasyl.

 

“A lot of the young men up here believe they are the next big thing in boxing, and many will be. But I know that Vasyl Lomachenko will be a big superstar in the sport of boxing.”

LAS VEGAS (April 29, 2015) - Floyd "Money" Mayweather og Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao faced off for only the third time Onsdag during the final press conference for their long-awaited welterweight world championship unification fight this Lørdag, Maj 2, på MGM Grand Garden Arena, lever på pay-per-view.

 

The last time the boxing superstars met face-to-face was at the Los Angeles press conference to formally announce the mega-fight on Marts 11. The first time they were photographed up close and personal came at a Miami Heat basketball game in January.

 

In the most eagerly awaited showdown in years – and the richest fight in boxing history — the undefeated and universally recognized No. 1 pound-for-pound boxer Mayweather (47-0, 26 KOS), an 11-time world champion in five weight divisions, will take on the fighting pride of the Philippines, Pacquiao (57-5-2, 38 KOS), the only boxer to capture world titles in eight weight classes.

 

Here is what the fighters and executives said Onsdag at the KÀ Theatre at the MGM Grand:

FLOYD Mayweather

“The only thing I can do is take it one day at a time. When the fight gets here I will go out there and do what I do best and that’s go out and fight.

 

“From the beginning of my career, I’ve always had a game plan. It’s just like chess. We make calculated moves in the ring and outside the ring. I got with the right team and surrounded myself with the right chess pieces.

 

“I’m a lot wiser than I once was. This fight sells itself. Our ultimate goal was to get to this point, whether it was Manny or another fighter.

 

“I don’t take anything away from Manny Pacquiao. He’s a solid fighter; a solid competitor and it will be an intriguing matchup come Saturday.

 

“Everything takes time, it’s all about timing. I’m glad that we had patience and didn’t rush. The time is now, this is the right time for this fight.

 

“I want to thank all the writers for being here. Some have been around since I was 10-years-old, some have been here for my 19 years in this sport. I’m thankful for all the writers, whether the stories were good stories or bad, you guys kept me relevant for 19 år.

 

“This fight is about one fighter who is at the top fighting another fighter who is at the top. It’s about giving you guys excitement. We don’t know how this fight is going to play out, but I believe in my skills. I believe I am going to be victorious.

 

“When I went to training camp I worked extremely hard to win this fight and I’m pretty sure Manny did the same. That’s why this is an intriguing matchup.”

MANNY PACQUIAO

“I don’t have a prediction, but I’m excited. I’m confident and I feel for the first time that I’m ready for the fight.

"I’m so happy because that feeling and that focus that I had many years ago, er tilbage. I’m confident and relaxed.

“My love and eagerness for this fight has made me especially interested.

“I would like to invite everyone to witness the great fight between Floyd and I this Saturday.

“I want to be an example and inspiration to people.

“Before I became a boxer, I used to sleep on the street. I can’t believe that I am in this position. The boy who didn’t have food and slept on the street can have this life.

“On Saturday our goal is to make the fans happy with our performance. Both of us will work very hard to entertain the fans and give a good fight.

“I hope that both Floyd and I do our best on Saturday and to put our name in boxing history.

“The most important thing I hope for is that after the fight I can talk with Floyd about being an inspiration to people all around the world.”

Floyd Mayweather SR., Mayweather far & Trainer

 

“Whatever happens on Saturday, it’s going to be one-sided. Pacquiao is going to sleep.

 

“I’m a trainer, I know what’s going on with fighters. Pacquiao doesn’t have it.

 

“Everybody can say what they want to say. I’ve said it before, Pacquiao can’t punch. I’m not worried about it. I’m going to have Floyd walk him down.”

 

FREDDIE ROACH, Pacquiao træner

“When this fight was announced, Manny’s training level went way up. He’s really excited about this fight.

 

“I think we will win a decision and outpoint this guy. If the knockout comes then that will be a bonus.

“I think Manny likes to be the underdog. We like pulling upsets and doing things we’re not supposed to do. Manny is going to be that guy.

“We will put a lot of pressure on Floyd. Manny likes to exchange and with his hand speed, this fight will go in our favor.

“Manny is reckless, but that’s his style. He tries to win fights and people enjoy his fights. He gives it his all and sometimes you get knocked out, that’s part of boxing.”

 

LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO for Mayweather Promotions

 

“The worldwide attention and interest in this event has been unbelievable and Floyd and Manny deserve it.

 

“Las Vegas has a rich history of hosting the biggest and best fights in the sport. Over the years Floyd Mayweather has made the MGM his home. This will be his 11th consecutive fight at MGM Grand and the 14th in his career.

 

“There are two great fighters that will be fighting on Saturday night and the focus needs to be on the fighters, no one else. The focus is on the fighters on Saturday night.

 

“On May 2, Floyd faces another huge challenge in fellow world champion Manny Pacquiao, in a fight that the whole world is waiting to see. Once again Floyd is out to prove that he is The Best Ever and I know he will on Saturday night.”

 

BOB ARUM, Hall of Fame Promoter, Top placering

 

“This is a great promotion with two great fighters. I hope that this fight will help elevate the rest of boxing. I think based on the interest in this fight, there has been increased interest in boxing as well, and that’s great.

 

“People have spent a lot of time during this event watching Manny train, but more importantly, watching Freddie teach. It’s great to see two guys on the same wavelength, working on the strategy and then working it out in the ring.”

 

KEN Hershman, Præsident, HBO Sports

 

“The journey to this fight has been a remarkable one. In addition to the great writing and reporting that all the media has been doing, HBO has been putting on terrific programs for fight fans to enjoy and bring them closer to the sport.

 

“One important note for everyone, please order the pay-per-view Saturday night early, or if possible today or tomorrow. We expect that the ordering systems will be overwhelmed. Også, there will be two undercard events starting at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT and those events can end at any time. We want to make sure that no one misses any of the main event. Tune-in and tune-in early.”

 

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Executive Vice President og General Manager, SHOWTIME Sports

 

“This event is about two world-class athletes, Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, who have been working for weeks and weeks, all of their lives really, to get to this precise moment.

 

“These two fighters have worked their entire lives to get to this moment.

 

“Floyd and Manny have great teams. Floyd will be the first one to tell you that his team deserves a lot of the credit for his success and I’ve heard Manny say very similar things.

 

“What makes this event so special and so historic, is that we have two once-in-a-generation athletes who will be meeting in the ring in about 72 timer. We are so proud to have been given the opportunity to be a part of such a highly anticipated event.”

 

RICHARD STORM, Formand for underholdning & Sport for MGM Resorts International

 

“It is an honor for the MGM Resorts to house this highly anticipated event. Sports fans around the world will have the unique opportunity to watch two of boxing’s top champions, Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, as they go toe-to-toe at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

 

“Excitement for this event has resonated throughout our MGM Resorts properties and the entire Las Vegas community.

 

“We have created additional programming at the resorts including closed circuit viewing that gives fans the chance to experience MGM’s great championship fights.

 

“We just want to thank everybody involved in this great event. We’re excited, we’re proud and we can’t wait for Saturday night.”
