NEW YORK (Desember 3, 2015, 2015) – Et enkelt spill poeng rekord ble satt av vinneren av den siste $2000 Throwdown Fanatasy Boksing spill som Ernesto Lopez(“Ring_King24”) plaget opp 474.5 totale fantasy poeng for å fange $400.00 Vinneren sjekk.
“Grunnen til at jeg spiller Throwdown Fantasy er fordi jeg er en hardcore boksing fan og jeg faktisk bokset som amatør,” Lopez said. “Mer, 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 lønner seg.”
Her er en nærmere titt på Lopez’ vinnerlag:

Lopez bygget sitt vinnerlag rundt tre solide favoritter i Tim Bradley, Edwin Rodriguez ($5800) og Vasyl Lomatsjenko ($5800). This trio cost him a total of $16,400 i leiren penger med bare $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 avgjørende underdog versus Alejandro Gonzalez, Jr. Jarrett Hurd var Lopez’ endelige pick.
Ved å være den eneste spilleren å plukke fem vinnere, Lopez var i stand til å kompilere sin 474.5 record-setting points. The rest of the top 10 spillerne klarte bare å velge fire vinnere i dette spillet, og det viste seg å være forskjellen.
Throwdown Fantasy sin all-time winningest spiller, “Yuggy,” delt andreplass med 436.4 poeng for en $130.00 prize. Men, han gikk inn i lagets tre ganger for å vinne nesten like mye som spillet vinner, $390.00. The beauty of Throwdown Fantasy is that players may enter a contest as many times as he or she chooses, forbedre sjansene for å vinne penger.

WASHINGTON, Likespenning. –(Oktober. 28, 2015) -Beltway-området mors Gary Russell Jr. (26-1, 15 KOs) holdt en media treningsøkt på The Enigma Boxing Club i Capital Heights, MD på tirsdag som han forbereder seg til sitt mesterskap bout på November 14 på SHOWTIME.
Russell Jr. vil gjøre den første forsvar av sin WBC Fjær VM mot Colombias Oscar Escandon (24-2, 16 KOs) i hovedturneringen av SHOWTIME Championship Boxing på Lørdag, November. 14, leve på SHOWTIME (10:45 pm. OG/PT) fra Hard Rock Hotel & Casino i Las Vegas.
Her er hva Russell Jr., Gary Russell Sr. (Garys far og trener) og Gary Antonio Russell(Gary yngre bror og ubeseiret boksing prospektet) hadde å si på tirsdag:

GARY RUSSELL JR.:
“Treningsleir går bra, vi har rett på kurs. Det var en mindre hikke i leiren fordi jeg skulle til å kjempe den okt. 24. Jeg begynte sparring, but once the fight got pushed back to November 14 I cut the sparring off. Jeg hadde ikke lyst til å toppe for tidlig.
“I dag (Tirsdag) var min første dag tilbake sparring igjen. Jeg jobber med min timing, ring generalship and lateral movement. We’re right on course.
“Oscar Escandon er sterk og holdbar. Han kommer rett frem. Hvis hans hjørne var smarte de ville prøve å ta bort min hånd hastighet som vil være en stor faktor i kampen. Han må lukke avstand, kvele mine punches så fart er ikke en faktor.
“Vi jobber med å bli like komfortabel slåss på utsiden som jeg kjemper på innsiden.
“Mange jagerfly er endimensjonale. Vi prøver å gjøre det diamant skinne på alle sider.
“Jeg vet at jeg vil seire uten tvil. Alle 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 tar bare ett skudd. It’s the fighters’ job to take away that opportunity.
“Jeg gleder meg til å kjempe, periode. I don’t even think about this fight being a title defense. Det tar en viss type mental tøffhet og psykisk styrke til å komme i ringen og utføre. Alle som kommer i ringen mot meg er en mester i mine øyne.
“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 å kjempe 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 tapte, would be a great fight. These are the type of guys that we’d like to fight.
“Å ha min familie med meg i løpet av treningsleiren betyr alt for meg. Det er der jeg får min energi fra. Mange gutter føler at de må komme bort for treningsleir, men jeg trenger ikke å forlate hjemmet. Min familie er drivkraften bak min treningsleir og hvor finner jeg min styrke og motivasjon. På slutten av dagen, Jeg boksen for min familie.
“Hvis min bror ender opp med å krangle på min undercard det ville være veldig kult for meg. Det blir morsomt fordi hvis han ikke konkurrere, du vil definitivt se meg jobbe hans hjørne før min tittel kamp.”
GARY RUSSELL SR.:
“Jeg vet det er et mesterskap kamp, men vi går inn i hver kamp som om det er en tittel kamp. Vi vet ikke massevis om sin motstander, vi bare trene som vinnere.
“Jeg har seks sønner, alle av dem er krigere. De har alle ulike egenskaper som folk som overs annerledes i hvem de er som mennesker, og i ringen.
“Antonio Russell er 4-0, han har jobbet hardt hele livet. Utsiden av gym, han kan fikse alt. Antoine, som bare kvalifisert for OL-forsøk, er strålende. Jeg er veldig stolt av ham fordi han nettopp uteksaminert som utmerket seg i sin klasse med den høyeste gjennomsnittskarakter på noen i Prince George fylke. Da har du Gary, som er så hardt arbeide, Han er fremtiden patriarken av familien. Han har en gammel ånd.
“Jeg er stolt av alle mine barn, og jeg er stolt over at vi er en sterk familieenheten. Vi lærte mye av Gary tap til Vasyl Lomatsjenko. Vi har et motto på treningsstudioet som henger fra et banner, det står 'suksess er den ultimate hevn’ og vi har levd med det helt siden tapet. Vi lærte en viktig lekse fra den kampen og har flyttet på.
“Boksing er en flyktig ting, du trenger ikke gjøre det for alltid. Vi gjør våre egne ting. Jeg er ikke bekymret for hva andre har gjort.
“Som en far, din farsinstinktet slår inn fordi i denne sporten, alt kan skje. Du ønsker ikke å se din sønn ender opp såret. Så vi trener for noen omstendighet. På grunn av at instinkt, Jeg har vært streng og vanskelig på mine sønner for å prøve å holde dem trygge.”
GARY ANTONIO RUSSELL (Fighting på Fredag, Oktober. 30 non-tv Premier Boksing Champions på Bounce TV undercard og potensielt November 14 undercard.):
“Med måten vi trener og kamp, vårt forsvar setter opp våre angrep og våre krenkelser setter opp vårt forsvar.
“Min jobb er å gå inn der og vinne kamper. Jeg vet at min motstander er en høy fyr, men jeg vet også at han ikke kommer til å vinne. Han har ikke den slagkraft eller ring generalship at jeg har.
“Når jeg vinner, Jeg er på til neste. Jeg opplært til å kjempe konsekvent. Jeg håper jeg får denne fyren ut tidlig, hvis den kommer og presenterer seg. Så jeg vil gjerne kjempe på min eldre brors kort to uker etter.”

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

Legg igjen en kommentar

CORK, Irland (Juli 13, 2015) – Irishman Gary Hyde, leder av enhetlig super bantamvekt (122 lbs.) verdensmester Regning “The Jackal” Rigondeaux (15-0, 10 KOs), har akseptert i prinsippet tilbudet fra Egis klima, leder i World Boxing Organization (WBO) fjærvekt (126 lbs.) mester Vasyl “Hi-Tech” Lomachenko (4-1, 2 KOs), for en Super Fight.

 

Rigondeaux er regjerende World Boxing Association (WBA) Super, WBO og The Ring magasinets super bantamvekt mester.

 

Cuban-innfødte Rigondeaux, som nå bor i Miami, og ukrainsk-fødte Lomachenko er begge to OL-gullvinnere.

 

“'Rigo’ vil kjempe Lomachenko på en catchweight av 124 pounds, som bør være noe problem for Lomachenko fordi han veide 125 pounds for en av hans profesjonelle kamper, Hyde sa. “'Rigo’ er en liten 122-punds som kunne gjøre 118 uten mye bråk, men han ville gi bort størrelse og vekt fordeler til ansikt Lomachenko.

“Vi vil insistere på en rehydrering paragrafen 135 pounds for fight night. Hvis Klimas samtykker til dette, deretter, vi har en kamp. Lomachenko er en mesterlig fighter som 'Rigo’ og denne kampen- opp vil være en klassiker. Vi har et par av to OL-vinnere og aktuelle verdensmestere kommer på det. Jeg tror 'Rigo’ er mer glupsk av de to jagerfly, og jeg mener bestemt 'Rigo’ vil dominere Lomachenko. Klima, du vet hva du må gjøre for å gjøre kampen, bare plukke opp telefonen og ringe meg. '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 det vi måtte gjøre i kveld 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.

 

“Alt 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 kveld.

 

“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; I thought I won the fight.

 

“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.”

Here is what the fighters and executives said Torsdag at the Copperfield Theater at the MGM Grand:

LEO SANTA CRUZ

“I’m more than excited to be on this undercard. This is the biggest card I could have been on. I want to show the whole world who I am.

 

“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, Mai 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 vinne! 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 i Mayweather Kampanjer

“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 Arrangøren, Top Rank

“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. Nå, 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, Mai 2, på MGM Grand Garden Arena, leve 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 Mars 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. Tiden er nå, 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 tilbake. 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 & Trener

 

“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 sin Trainer

“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 i Mayweather Kampanjer

 

“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 Arrangøren, Top Rank

 

“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, President, 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 pm. ET / 6 pm. 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, Konserndirektør og daglig leder, 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, President of Entertainment & Sport for MGM Resorts International

“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.”
