Presentado por Premier campeones de boxeo

 

BROOKLYN (Agosto 23, 2018) – There is no looking ahead to future fights for top 147-pound contenders Yordenis Ugas of Cuba and Cesar Barrionuevo of Argentina as the two sluggers prepare for their WBC title eliminator matchup in SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING action on Saturday, Septiembre 8 en vivo por SHOWTIME (9 p.m. ET / 6 pm. PT) del Barclays Center, la casa de BROOKLYN BOXEO ™ y presentado por Premier campeones de boxeo.

 

 

 

The SHOWTIME main event will pit two of the division’s biggest names against each other as former 147-pound champions Danny “Rápido” García y “Tiempo De La Funcion” Shawn Porter square off for the vacant WBC Welterweight World Championship. The winner of Ugas vs. Barrionuevo earns the WBC’s second mandatory position to the winner of Garcia vs. Desgaste.

 

 

 

Las entradas para el evento en vivo, que es promovido por TGB Promotions y DiBella Entertainment, en asociación con Promociones DSG, empieza en $50 y están a la venta. Las entradas se pueden adquirir en ticketmaster.com, barclayscenter.com, o llamando al 800-745-3000. Las entradas también se pueden comprar en la taquilla del American Express en el Barclays Center. Descuentos para grupos están disponibles llamando al 844-BKLYN-GP.

 

 

 

Ugas, (22-3, 11 KOs), returns to the SHOWTIME stage for the second time. En febrero, he handed Ray Robinson his first defeat since a 2010 decision to Shawn Porter. Barrionuevo, (34-3-2, 24 KOs), haciendo su U.S. debut, ha ganado 10 fights in a row and has only lost once since 2010 as he looks to follow in the footsteps of Marcos Maidana and Lucas Matthysse, elite welterweights from Argentina.

 

 

 

Here is what the 32-year-old Ugas and 29-year-old Barrionuevo had to say from their respective camps about their September 8 duelo:

 

yordenis ugás

Total, how is your training going in Las Vegas and who have you sparred with?

 

 

“We have been training at Fernando Vargas’ Gimnasio, the Feroz Fight Factory gym. We’ve been sparring with Jose Benavidez Jr. and Diego Magdaleno, and a few other locals. Nothing is really different with this camp compared to others. Estoy 100 percent committed to training for this fight.”

 

What are the advantages of training in Las Vegas?

“I’ve been in Las Vegas for the past two and a half years. This place has changed my life. I came out here and started training with Ismael Salas, who has trained many of the best Cuban boxers. There is such good sparring out here, and there’s also mountains. I love running up Mount Charleston. This is just a perfect place for a fighter to train.”

 

How are you preparing to face a southpaw like Cesar Barrionuevo?

“We are sparring with lefties and trying to mirror exactly what we think we’ll see. The Argentine fighters always come to fight and are well prepared. They always go to war. Luckily I like to go to war too. So I think we have good styles that will give the fans a great fight.”

 

What else do you know about your opponent?

“I’ve seen some footage and that’s it. It’s not really about what he does or brings, it’s all about staying focused on what I do best. I don’t take much time off so I’m always in the gym training. I did go down to Miami a few weeks ago and actually trained in Barrionuevo’s gym and met some guys he works with, but we never crossed paths.”

 

You are returning to fight on SHOWTIME for a second time. Does that give you an advantage?

“Everyone who knows boxing knows I’m the more experienced fighter. This is one of his first times he’s fighting outside Argentina. I know he’s a big deal there, but he’s never seen a stage like this, with all the bright lights. I’m going to be prepared for the best Argentine fighter that shows up that night.”

 

What is your prediction of the Garcia-Porter fight?

“I think they are two great fighters and whoever is the most prepared on that night will win the fight. Because this is a WBC eliminator, I know there’s a chance I could fight one of them if I win my fight. I would love to fight either of them.”

 

CESAR BARRIONUEVO

How is your training camp going in Miami and who have you sparred with?

“Technically, everything is strong and with my coaches Carlos [Morgan] and Pablo [Martínez] we feel good about where we are and what we’re doing. I want to be 100 percent ready on September 8 for the fight of my life. I feel like I will be and am so grateful for the support of my team and everyone here at Caicedo Sports’ Gimnasio. I have been sparring with a bunch of local prospects, young guys with undefeated records and guys that are in the same boat as I am looking to become a world champion.”

 

How are you preparing for an aggressive fighter like Ugas?

“I’m formulating my plan and intensifying my training so I’m 100 ciento listo. I’m focusing on my cardio and increasing my strength. That’s why I’m here in the U.S., because the level of competition is better than back home. I feel that everything I’m doing is a step up. I’m having the best training camp of my life. I’m not worrying about my opponents’ style.”

 

What do you know about your opponent?

“We have watched some film, but that doesn’t always help you. Split-second adjustments will be made if needed. I’m a fighter at the end of the day, and will be ready for whatever he puts in front of me. I have never met him, but I know he came and worked out at my gym. No lo conozco, but maybe after the fight we can be friends. Right now it’s kill or be killed.”

 

What are your thoughts about fighting on the big stage at Barclays Center?

“I know I have a huge fan base in Argentina and can’t wait to go back there and celebrate a win with them. I’m so proud of all the past world champions that have come from my country, but I’m not coming to Brooklyn as a tourist. I’m coming to fight and get the victory in spectacular fashion and to put Argentina back on the map in the sport of boxing. The objective is to look good and win and to leave a good impression fighting on SHOWTIME and for everyone watching.”

What is your prediction of the Garcia-Porter fight?

“Es una pelea dura. Puede Ser 50-50, but I’m leaning toward Danny Garcia. I think his experience as a world champion will show.”

 

Is it hard not to look ahead to a possible future fight with one of those guys?

“I haven’t thought about it for even one second. I’m focused on my next task, and that’s Ugas. I’m coming to do what needs to be done to get the win. And I’ll get that win with blood, sudor y lágrimas. I’ll focus on Danny Garcia or Shawn Porter when the time comes.”

Porter was joined by his father and trainer, Ken Porter, as the two discussed the highly-anticipated welterweight showdown presented by Premier Boxing Champions. Here is what the Porters had to say Wednesday:

 

SHAWN PORTER

 

 

 

“I love being in training camp and grinding every day. We’re just 100 percent focused on what we have to do. I’m seasoned enough where I know how to excel through these stages of camp. Me siento muy bien.

 

 

 

“We always work on the jab to start our training session. Everyone knows that everything I do comes off of my jab. It’s all about the fundamentals. My dad is smart and knows my athletic potential is there. He’s focused on all the technical and strategic parts of the game.

 

 

 

“Whether we look to box or not will be a game-time decision. We’ll have to read the fight. I think we’re going to start trying to mix it up and then take it from there. It’s up to me to see the adjustments and make them. Whatever it takes to win this fight, I am prepared to do it.

 

 

 

“Danny’s counter-punching I think plays into my hands. I’m a combination puncher. There’s more than one coming. If there is only one coming, you don’t know where it’s coming from. I think it’s going to take care of Danny’s strength, but I don’t take it lightly. I know that he’s a strong fighter and that’s what I expect in the ring.

 

 

 

“I don’t believe that he’s going to stand toe-to-toe with me, but I do believe that’s where he thinks he can win the fight. The point is to hit and not get hit, so we’ll try to keep it as clean as possible. It gets rough in there sometimes, but if you can’t handle the heat, get out of the kitchen.

 

 

 

“Once upon a time I probably would have that thought that I could just beat Danny with activity. But I know that I have to be sharp, precise and land most of my punches. I want to throw 60 a round and land 40 por ciento.

 

 

 

“I’m going go out there and be aggressive, be sharp, be quick and let the rest take care of itself. This is a humungous fight that I’ve been looking forward to for a long time.”

 

KEN PORTER, Shawn’s Father & Entrenador

 

 

 

“Any fight that Shawn is in, you’re going to have action. If Shawn went in there and laid back, I doubt that Danny would go after him. I just don’t think Danny is going to go forward like that.

 

 

 

“We have to continue to do what we’ve done to get this far. But we’re not going to go after him the way he expects us to.

 

 

 

“Danny is trying to pump himself up like he’s some kind of one-punch knockout artist. But I’m a one-punch artist if it’s against someone who can’t box anymore or who’s coming way up in weight. If you hit Shawn Porter with one of those punches, he’s going to hit right back, and with Shawn, it’s going to be more than one.

 

 

 

“My focus is on making sure that Shawn is prepared to do the things I need him to do. I have to get him where I need before I focus too much on what Danny is going to bring. We’re making sure Shawn is 100 percent first.”

QUÉ: SHOWTIME Sports® Emmy-award winning reporter Jim Gray sat down with the fathers of Danny García y Shawn Porter as the two former world champions prepare to meet September 8 for the vacant WBC Welterweight World Championship on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING.

 

Ángel García y Kenny Porter, who both also serve as their sons’ trainers, are asked by Gray how they react when they watch their sons take punishment in the ring.

 

 

 

“As a dad, I have to separate the boxing,” Angel Garcia said. “So when Danny’s in there I’ve got to look at him as a coach. I can’t look at it as a dad.”

 

 

 

Said Kenny Porter: “As a former boxer, I felt what it’s like to be in that ring… So I feel differently when he’s in the ring. I have a more competitive spirit towards winning than maybe someone who’s kid is in there and they’re looking at whether the kid is getting injured. I’m looking at it like, let’s win.”

 

 

 

Gray gets Porter and Garcia to open up about challenges, regrets and the aspirations they’ve carried for their progeny both in the ring and outside of it. “I do [have regrets],” Angel Garcia said. “I said my faults. I’m not perfect.”

 

 

 

Angel called himself the “most underrated trainer” in boxing today, and Danny the “most underrated fighter.”

 

 

 

At the end of the interview, Kenny unveils a Garcia “DSG” T-shirt that reads: “Showtime Destroys Garcia” and both fathers shared a big laugh.

 

 

 

Live coverage of the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast begins at 9 p.m. ET / 6 pm. PT and also features top 147-pound contender Yordenis Ugas(22-3, 11 KOs) taking on Argentine slugger Cesar Barrionuevo (34-3-2, 24 KOs) and unbeaten Polish heavyweight contender Adam Kownacki (17-0, 14 KOs) facing former heavyweight champion Charles Martin (25-1-1, 23 KOs).

Ugas (22-3, 11 KOs), quien nació en Cuba y ahora vive en Las Vegas, is one of the busiest boxers in the sport and a consensus top-10 fighter in the welterweight division. Después de perder una decisión unánime a Amir en Imam 2014, the 32-year-old Ugas took a year off from boxing, moved up to 147 pounds and came back on a tear. Durante un lapso de 12 meses a partir de agosto 2016 a agosto 2017, Ugas ganado cinco peleas consecutivas, golpeando de competidores superiores y las perspectivas incluyendo Jamal James, Bryant Perrella, Levan Ghvamichava, Thomas Dulorme y Nelson Lara. Ugas has added two more stoppage victories in 2018, including February on SHOWTIME when he handed Ray Robinson his first defeat since a 2010 decision to Shawn Porter.

 

 

 

“I’m very excited to be part of such a great card,” Ugas dijo. “This is a huge opportunity to put myself in position to fight the best fighters in the welterweight division and that’s my goal. No sé mucho acerca de mi oponente, but he is a power punching Argentine and I have to be 100 percent ready come September 8. This will be my second appearance on SHOWTIME

 

CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING and I look forward to making another huge statement. I’m going to close the show in New York like my friend, Yankees’ closer Aroldis Chapman.”

 

Barrionuevo (34-3-2, 24 KOs) has devastating one-punch power and is wildly popular in his native Argentina, where he has held regional titles while stopping seven of his last nine opponents. Barrionuevo will make his U.S. debut en septiembre 8. The 29-year-old has won 10 fights in a row and has only lost once since 2010 as he looks to follow in the footsteps of Marcos Maidana and Lucas Matthysse, elite welterweights from Argentina. Barrionuevo, quien ocupa el puesto n. 6 por el CMB en 147 libra, was previously scheduled to face Abel Ramos on Aug. 3 in Las Vegas before taking the opportunity to fight Ugas in this title eliminator.

 

 

 

“I am proud to be fighting in the United States and fighting on SHOWTIME is a dream come true,” said Barrionuevo. “Argentine boxing has a long history of great champions from Carlos Monzon to Sergio Martinez and most recently Marcos Maidana. I am looking to become one of those great Argentine fighters of this era and it starts on September 8. I bring the power and the heart of my country with me and expect all the Argentine flags to be out at Barclays Center.”

 

Kownacki (17-0, 14 KOs) has become a must-see attraction amongst the large contingent of Polish boxing fans in his hometown of Brooklyn and will return to fight at Barclays Center for the fifth time on September 8. The 29-year-old has steadily climbed up the rankings, having most recently knocked out then once-beaten heavyweight Iago Kiladze in Brooklyn in January. Antes de esa victoria, the undefeated heavyweight scored a dominant stoppage of Artur Szpilka last July on Long Island in a matchup of top Polish heavyweights.

 

 

 

“It’s exciting to be back in the ring on SHOWTIME to showcase my skills,” dijo Kownacki. “It will be another step to reach my goal of becoming the first Polish heavyweight champion. I am training hard in preparation to fight Charles Martin. It will be an amazing night in Barclays Center. I’m hoping Barclays Center will be covered in white and red.”

 

 

 

Nacido en San. Louis, Martín (25-1-1, 23 KOs) captured the IBF Heavyweight World Championship in January 2016 via a third round TKO against Vyacheslav Glazkov at Barclays Center on SHOWTIME. The 32-year-old scored knockouts in 21 de su primera 23 before losing in his first title defense against Anthony Joshua in the UK. Martin trains in Big Bear, California and has since scored two knockout victories on his way towards a matchup with Kownacki that could move him closer to another shot at a belt.

 

 

 

“I don’t want to talk about fighting, I just want to get in there and show off my skills,” dijo Martin. “For this fight I asked for the toughest opponent that I could get. I’m not worried about who is in front of me. I will be ready on September 8.”

LAS VEGAS (Febrero. 17, 2018) – El ex campeón mundial de dos divisiones Danny García regresó con una venganza, noqueando a Brandon Rios en una eliminatoria por el título de peso welter del CMB en el evento principal de SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING Sábado en SHOWTIME desde el Mandalay Bay Events Center en Las Vegas.
Regresó por primera vez desde que perdió una cerrada decisión dividida ante Keith Thurman en una pelea de unificación por el campeonato mundial de peso welter en marzo de 2017, García recordó a los fanáticos su posición entre la élite del boxeo en 147 libras con un candidato temprano para 2018 Knockout del Año.
García (34-1, 20 KOs) hizo su mejor trabajo en el centro del ring, donde pudo boxear a distancia y defenderse de Ríos’ ritmo furioso. Ríos, quien regresó en 2017 de una breve jubilación, fue más efectivo contra las cuerdas donde le dio problemas a García con su presión constante y su arma favorita – un derechazo amplio.
En el noveno asalto con la pelea donde García la quería – en el centro del ring – el nativo de Filadelfia conectó un enorme contraataque directo a la barbilla que envió a Ríos de espaldas. Ríos superó la cuenta, pero claramente se tambaleaba sobre sus pies, obligando al árbitro Kenny Bayless a detener el concurso en 2:25 del noveno.
“Sentí que el anillo se oxidaba un poco al principio.,” dijo García, quien registró el nocaut número 20 de su carrera. “Es un buen luchador interno y me estaba dando buenos uppercuts.. Me sentí bien, fueron unas buenas nueve rondas. Él vino a pelear. Vine a boxear, yo lo hice. Vine a golpear, y le di a los fans lo que querían – un nocaut.
“Me di cuenta de que cuando estaba recibiendo mis golpes, él estaba parado justo frente a mí y lo dejé pasar.. Tan pronto como tuve la pelea en el medio del ring donde quería, conecté buenos tiros.. Solo estaba soltando mis manos y el golpe aterrizó.”
Después de la pelea, El reportero de SHOWTIME Sports Jim Gray le preguntó a García cómo lo afectó la derrota ante Thurman.
“La perdida fue dura. Tengo la mentalidad de un ganador,” García dijo. “Odio perder. Lo tomé como un verdadero campeón y me recuperé como un verdadero campeón.
“Me encantaría la revancha con Keith Thurman. Esta en el. Cuando esté listo, lucharemos.”
El campeón de la AMB y el CMB, Thurman, no es el único éxito de taquilla potencial en el horizonte para García.. El ex campeón de peso welter y el No del WBC. 1 El contendiente clasificado Shawn Porter se avecina para lo que sería un enfrentamiento masivo entre los ex campeones.
Después de la pelea, Ríos (34-4-1, 24 KOs) estaba frustrado con el paro y prometió regresar.
“Estoy loco. No me gusta salir así,” Rios dijo. “Soy un guerrero, Me levanté y quise seguir. Supongo que lo detuvieron pero estoy enojado. Estoy enojado porque me levanté.
“Estaba bien. Me dio pereza con el jab y se acercó con la mano derecha y me atrapó. Soy un guerrero. Todavía estoy en el juego. No pensé que me hiciera mucho daño. Creo que estaba más cerca de lo que pensaba. Me atrapó con un golpe de suerte. Estaba listo para continuar.”
El campeón mundial más joven de boxeo, David Benavidez, No dejó preguntas en una revancha con Ronald Gavril., defendiendo su Campeonato Mundial Súper Mediano del CMB con una dominante decisión unánime de 12 asaltos en Sábado de co-estelar en SHOWTIME.
Benavidez, de 21 años, y Gavril habían peleado por una cerrada decisión dividida en una de las mejores peleas de 2017 que vio a Benavidez caer a la lona en el último minuto de la 12º y ronda final. El nativo de Phoenix no tuvo problemas en la revancha inmediata, utilizando un jab rígido y una dieta constante de tiros combinados para ganar una casi blanqueada en el juego Gavril.
Benavidez (20-0, 17 KOs) agotó a Gavril con un ataque corporal inteligente, golpear la sección media para abrir golpes de poder y golpes en la cabeza. Benavidez tuvo su mejor ronda en el cuarto, conectando con un gran uppercut derecho que casi derriba a Gavril – que parecía ser salvado por las cuerdas – y luego se abalanzó con una serie de disparos combinados dañinos.
Benavidez pareció lastimarse la mano derecha en la segunda mitad de la pelea y bajó el acelerador en la décima., 11th y 12th. Pero Benavidez, quien se conectó en 41 por ciento de sus tiros de la energía, todavía conectó los tiros más duros y utilizó un jab rígido de izquierda para mantener a Gavril a raya.
“Sabía que iba a volverse agresivo. Es un oponente de un solo truco,” Benavidez dijo. “Sabía que podía golpearlo y boxearlo todo el día. Cuando vi la abertura la tomé. Aunque no lo noqueé – es un duro hijo de pistola.
“Me duelen las dos manos, pero tengo la mentalidad de guerrera, así que seguí presionando..
“Quiero ser el mejor en division. Así que, sea quien sea que me pongan delante, eso es lo que quiero hacer.”
Gavril (18-3, 14 KOs) no puso ninguna excusa para dejar de lado lo que fue un asunto lleno de acción que se anotó 119-109 y 120-108 dos veces.
“Trató de boxearme por fuera,” Gavril dijo. “Fue una buena pelea. Él fue el mejor hombre esta noche. Qué puedo decir,? Quiero volver al gimnasio y volver más fuerte.”
En la pelea de apertura de SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING, Yordenis Ugas anotó la mayor victoria de su carrera, noqueando a Ray Robinson en el séptimo asalto de un eliminador de peso welter de la FIB.
Ugas (21-3, 10 KOs) ahora tiene el No. 2 posición al campeón invicto Errol Spence Jr.
Ugas, un ex destacado aficionado que ahora es 6-0 desde que subió a la clase de 147 libras, marque el tono con una caída en el último minuto de la primera ronda. Robinson (24-3, 12 KOs) sobrevivió y luego se le dedujo un punto por golpear después de la campana cuando la cuarta ronda llegó a su fin. El golpe ilegal derribó a un inesperado Ugas, que se recuperó y siguió dominando las rondas posteriores.
En el minuto inicial del séptimo, Ugas, de 31 años, conectó una derecha masiva que derribó a Robinson, que superó el conteo pero claramente resultó herido. Ugas desató un ataque con una serie de combos., obligando al árbitro Robert Byrd a intervenir para detener el combate en 1:05 con Robinson indefenso contra las cuerdas.
Ugas aterrizó 51 por ciento de sus tiros de poder y estaba cómodamente por delante de los tres jueces en el momento del paro.
“Sentí que era el luchador más fuerte con diferencia y no me lastimó.,” Said Ugas. “Perdió un punto por golpearme después de que sonó la campana, y me derribó, pero incluso eso no me hizo daño. Él era muy incómodo y su estilo me hizo perder el tiempo.
“Afortunadamente, pude aterrizar golpes al cuerpo que sabía que lo estaban lastimando.. Pude marcar el ritmo y nunca tuvimos problemas..
“Quiero a Errol Spence después. Todo el mundo quiere a Errol.”

Here is what the fighters had to say from Rhythm & Riffs Lounge in Las Vegas:
DANNY GARCIA
“I took a little under a year off just to enjoy my life. I’ve worked hard my whole life; I’ve been boxing for 20 año. I just wanted to be a regular person and let my mind rest, spend time with my daughter and enjoy some of my money.
“Mas que nada, I just felt like I needed the rest. It wasn’t about the hunger because I’ve always had passion for the sport. Me encanta el boxeo. I love the competition.
“I’m back now and I’ve been in camp for three months. Estoy entrenando duro. I feel great and I feel confident.
“It was a close fight against Thurman. I walked out of there with no injuries. Thurman was the one with the elbow injury, so he took more punishment than me. I could easily be unified champion of the world right now. Al final de la día, Soy un campeón. That’s my mindset. What doesn’t break me, makes me stronger.
“It feels great to be from Philly right now. The atmosphere is crazy. When the Eagles won the Super Bowl, it felt like I won. They motivated me to go out there and do what I have to do.
“It’s the Danny Garcia show so I’m going to go in there and do what I want to do. I’m going to dictate the pace. If we want to bang, podemos golpear. If we want to box, we can box.
“I’ve faced fighters that came straight at me before. I’ve faced fighters that moved. I’m prepared for whatever. I’m a young veteran in the sport and what made me a true champion is adapting to anything and overcoming adversity. If I have to overcome adversity en sábado noche, then I’m going to do that because that’s what I was built for.
“I need to get a victory en sábado noche. I can’t overlook anybody. I’ve seen some crazy things happen in boxing. One punch can change everything, so I’m just focused en sábado noche.”
Brandon Ríos
“Estoy listo 100 por ciento. I’m ready to give the fans an exciting show and that’s what I’ve prepared for. Es mi estilo. I always come forward and I come to fight. We ain’t dancing, we’re going to be fighting.
“Robert Garcia has always been my brother. He’s a brother from another mother. It felt great to be back with Robert Garcia and I’m just ready for the fight now. Him and Donald Leary have me confident in myself, and that’s the most important thing.
“I’m going to take advantage of every opportunity. This can make or break me. I’m doing everything right in training and dieting. I usually say I can’t wait until weigh-ins but this time I can’t wait until Sábado.
“There’s no weight issue at all. I’m perfectly on-weight right now. I’m perfectly fine health-wise, there’s no injuries. Estoy 100 percent ready.”
DAVID BENAVIDEZ
“I’m going to put Gavril into retirement after this fight. Voy a noquear. This is going to be the fight of the night so you guys don’t want to miss it. He’s not going to want to box again after I get done with him.
“He dropped me but I wasn’t hurt at any point of that fight. I got back up and smiled. I did not feel his power at all.
“It wasn’t a tough decision to give him a rematch because it was a great fight. I just want to give the fans the fights they want to see. They said the first one was a war, let’s make this one a war too.
“I’m not offended by Gavril’s talk because he’s a good fighter. This is just more hype for the fight and more motivation for me to go in there and make it a war.
“Esta vez, there’s going to be a little bit more boxing. I really want to put this guy away so in order to do that, I need to step up every part of my game.”
Ronald Gavril
“In the first fight, I proved to everybody that I have the skill and the power to be the best in this division. I thought that I won the fight, especially with the knockdown. Y ahora, I had more than eight weeks to prepare for this fight when I only had four weeks for the first fight. I’m better now.
“I was not surprised Benavidez gave me the rematch because it was such a good fight. I think Benavidez talks to much. He said before the first fight that he was coming to stop me in four rounds or five rounds. He cannot stop me. Y ahora, he said the same thing before this fight. He can’t do that. Why do you think he got a new fitness coach?”
yordenis ugás
“Moving up from 140 a 147 en 2016 has been great for me. Putting on the extra weight only makes me stronger.
“I’m ready to fight Robinson. I feel 100 percent and after I fight him en sábado, I’m looking forward to fighting (Errol) Spence if I’m successful.
“I’m going to jump on the fact that I have length and reach on him. I have the height advantage. I can find a way to come in and attack the body first.
“Esta es sin duda la pelea más importante de mi carrera. It’s an eliminator so I’m going for the win en sábado noche.”
RAY ROBINSON
“At one point, I used to put a lot of pressure on myself because of my name. I put so much pressure on myself that I even think I lost a couple fights. I look up to Sugar Ray Robinson, but I’m here to put my own footprints in the sand.
“I have learned from every fight and gotten better every fight as a pro and as a person. I have a great team now and they have only added to my craft.
“I feel confident. I did all of the hard work in the gym with my team. This is the easy part. I can box with a blindfold on. That’s the one thing I know how to do – lucha. En Sábado, all of my hard work is going to pay off.”

Here is what the fighters had to say from House of Blues at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas on Wednesday:
DANNY GARCIA
“I’m just hungry for this fight. At the end of the day I have the passion for boxing, and I love the competition. That’s what motivates me and that’s what has motivated me to get back in there and get back on top. It all starts en sábado noche.
“I can’t worry about what [Brandon] está haciendo. At the end of the day I know he trained his heart out for this fight and this is an opportunity of a lifetime for him. Esta es una gran pelea para mí. I have to go in there and show that I’m one of the best fighters in the world. I just have to go in there and be Danny Garcia.
“It’s great to be back here in Vegas. This is a big-fight atmosphere and it just motivates me. I feel good and I can’t wait to go in there and fight.
“I’m going to do a little bit of everything, it just depends how I feel. I’m gonna bang, I’m gonna box. Voy a respaldarlo. I’m going to do everything.
“I try to knock everyone out in the first round. I’ll go and get that check. Twelve rounds or less. I’d like to get it done in under eight or six. But if not I’ll go 12 rondas. I have a great team and I’ve been training hard.
“I don’t blame Keith Thurman for not wanting to fight me again. I wouldn’t want to fight me two times in row. My journey and my superstardom start again en sábado noche. My job then is to show the work and that I’m still one of the superstars of this sport.
“Estoy 29 years old and in the prime of my career. It starts now. I’m ready to get back on track.
“I represent Philly wherever I go. I represent all Latinos all around the world. When you’re a world champion boxer you represent everyone around the world.
“He likes to bang…Vamos a hacerlo. I feel like I’m the stronger man and there’s no need to back up. If that’s what it takes to get the job done.”
Brandon Ríos
“Estoy listo. I’ve been training really hard and I’m focused and dedicated to the boxing game. In the past I was immature and just being a kid and being a dork and just going with heart and balls – that’s what I was doing it with. But now I want to get back to the top and I know what it takes to get there.
“I don’t care what the critics say because at the end of the day that’s what they are, just critics. Está todo bien. I can tell you right now I’m in shape. Estoy en el peso ya.
“Everyone knows the way I fight. Going all out is my style. I’ll walk through brick walls to get the victory. Everyone will see en sábado night the new and improved Bam Bam.
“Think about why I looked like [mierda] después de mi última pelea. I’ve been through wars after wars and wars in my previous fights, and that takes a toll on your body. Sucede. And I realized it and I took a step back and I wasn’t doing it right with dieting and training. I was doing it with heart and balls.
“Now I feel rejuvenated and fresh. So you will see the new and improved Brandon. I feel young and not war-shot, or whatever you guys want to call it. I want to go out there and prove everyone wrong. I’m going to prove every one of you wrong. There’s going to be a smile on my face when I win this fight and I will put up my middle finger to all of you.
“Danny’s a strong fighter and he has power in both hands. He’s a great counter-puncher. One thing I like is he doesn’t move or run, he likes to bang it out, and that suits my style better. But if he does run, we’ll be ready for that too. I sparred with young guys, así que estoy listo.
“Thanks to all of you guys for calling me out, and calling me a cherry, or whatever. Me encanta. Está todo bien. That’s the chip on my shoulder I got. I’m not a cherry, I might be a wild berry, but I’m not a cherry.”
DAVID BENAVIDEZ
“The preparation we had for this camp was amazing. Three months in training camp, we made a lot of changes for this fight and we’re ready to go in there and take care of business.
“Winning the title changed my confidence but it changed my work too. Now I know everybody is gunning for my title and I don’t want to let it go. All the work and sacrifice it took for me to get this – I’m not going to let it go.
“Me siento muy fuerte. El peso es bueno. I feel amazing and you guys are going to see it comeSábado.
“I don’t think Gavril can do any better than he did in the last fight. He’s a one trick pony and he doesn’t have many tricks left, he’s getting old. We’ve been working on a lot of different styles for this fight and I feel more than ready.
“I’m very motivated. I stayed very dedicated to this training camp. I’m ready to go in there and play no games. I’m going to do what I say and I’m going to knock Gavril out.
“I feel I could have done better in the first fight. Having everybody tell me Gavril should have won and him talking a lot of smack, it’s the motivation and drive that I needed to train the way I did in this camp.
“The sickness during the first fight took a lot out of me but my mentality is that I’m a warrior and I’m always going to push through it no matter what. Esta vez, we didn’t have any injuries or sickness so I can’t wait to put on a show en sábado.
“This is the first time I’ve really had a chip on my shoulder. All the hard work it took for me to get this belt, and people say it was just given to me? No way, I’m going to go in there and show why I’m the youngest champion in the super middleweight division.
“I want to become the best in the division. I want to earn every victory and fight the best. I would love to fight the World Boxing Super Series winner. I’ll be ready for anybody. I worked so hard to get this, nobody can take it from me.
“I’m thinking it will be a knockout around Round 5. It’s going to be a combination of the body and chin. It’s not really looking for the knockout, it’s just setting it up. I’m not going in just throwing haymakers, but I’ll set it up and if it comes, it will come in spectacular fashion.”
Ronald Gavril
“I trained a little bit different this time. I had way more time than the first fight to prepare. Last time was four weeks, this time I had a full 10 semanas. I have done a lot of rounds of sparring and a lot of work related to this fight.
“I learn after every fight. From the first fight against Benavidez, I learned even more because it was a tough, tight fight.
“His people tried to make him a superstar before he fought me. I don’t know what people said after the first fight, but they should wait until after the rematch. I’m the stronger fighter.
“The difference in this fight is going to be who boxes smarter. I feel I’m the smarter fighter because if I need to box, I box; if I need to put pressure, I put pressure. I can adapt.
“I think this is going to be the fight of the year. It’s going to be special. The fans should all come see this fight because it’s going to be amazing with two warriors.
“No estoy buscando un nocaut. Estoy en busca de ganar cada ronda. But I also don’t want to leave it in the judges’ hands like last time, así que ya veremos lo que pasa Sábado.
“I’m ready to win. It would be a dream come true. This is why I came here to America from Romania.”
yordenis ugás
“We are both good fighters. But I am ready to put on the fight of the night for the fans and I will be victorious.
“I’m more than ready to get back in the ring. I know what’s at stake. This is a title eliminator and it is the biggest fight of my career. I’m ready to get even better and show the world that I’m ready to be at that top tier of boxing.
“Because of the intensity of this fight, I think it has the potential to be the fight of the night. This is going to shine over all the other fights.”
RAY ROBINSON
“Training camp was perfect. My team did everything to prepare me for this fight. I dotted every ‘I’ and crossed every ‘T’ para esta pelea. This was one of the best camps I’ve had and I’m excited to get in the ring en sábado.
“Carrying Sugar Ray’s name is obviously a pleasure. Creciendo, I had a lot of pressure on myself with my name being Ray Robinson. Sometimes I think I even lost fights because I put too much pressure on myself having that name. Y ahora, I make sure I don’t put too much pressure on myself.
“This is the type of fight that I roll out of bed for. You get tired of fighting regular guys. I’m an old school fighter – I love fighting guys that look good on paper and nobody knows who’s going to win and it’s up to his camp and my camp. I haven’t been this excited for a fight in a long time.
“I expect hell. That’s how I’ve been preparing. If it’s anything less than that, he’ll be sorry. That’s how I’ve been training – like we’re fighting for a world title. I’m going to bring all the hardship I’ve had in my life into this fight en sábado noche.
“I’m an old school fighter. I’ll fight people in their grandma’s back yard if I have to. No importa con quién estoy luchando. I’ll just do it Kimbo Slice-style. Once we conquer Sábado, we are supposed to fight Errol Spence and even if that doesn’t happen, we’re looking for a world title. Errol Spence, (Keith) Thurman, Estoy listo para el rock.
“Every time we put the gloves on, we want to do something special. Especially with this fight being on SHOWTIME, we just made sure we prepared the right way. But it doesn’t matter if it’s on TV or not, we still have to put on a good fight.
“Each fight that I have is a stepping stone in my career. This is no different just because it’s in Vegas. I’m not going to put too much pressure on myself and blow this up and make it bigger than what it needs to me. Vegas, the crowds, las luces – that’s all cool and dandy but at the end of the day I still have to do my job.”
