Here is what the fighters had to say Thursday from Toyota Arena:

TONY HARRISON

I’m hungrier now because of the layoff since the first fight. It hasn’t affected my mindset for one moment. Sparring has been intense for me. That’s where I got the rust off. I was pushed every day with guys trying to knock me out, just like he’s going to try to do.

Nothing about me is fake. Tudo que eu digo, I do it. It comes from my heart. The beef between us is real when it comes to my eyes. I don’t like anything about him. The tables turned after what he did right after the first fight. I’m a humble beast and he woke me up.

I trained in Florida because I needed to be hungry again. I made the changes for me. I was out a year and I had to get mentally correct. He woke me up. I didn’t need to be in Detroit, they know I’m the champ. Now I’m ready to beat you again on Saturday.

I had three judges who said I won, so I don’t think I have to change anything in my game plan. Estou feliz. I don’t care about what him and his team is telling him. I don’t have to do anything different.

He had 12 rounds and never rocked me, never stumbled me. He gave me everything he has. The same Jermell that you have seen in every fight is the same you’ll see Saturday.

We’re here once again and once again I’m going to exactly what I have to do. This is what needs to be done to him. I love everything about this. I love everything about the talking, the back and forth, and all the noise.

Jermell knocked out Jorge Cota, so he’s back on top right? I’m going to humble him again, esse é meu trabalho. I’m going to ease him of his pain. He acts like he’s the strongest guy in the world, but he’s up against an animal.

I just have to be myself and win again. He can’t handle someone who’s himself. I’m rattling him every five seconds. I just have to throw the 1-2 off of that and we’re good.

Jermell Charlo

He talks a lot but he has to see me Saturday night. You’re going to get the same thing I gave to Jorge Cota. He just gave me more time getting out of the fight in June. I’m much stronger, much better and much faster now.

I’m a fighter who lives and learns. I know how to progress. It’s okay for me, because I understand how to go down and come back up. When I come back, I come back way harder. They made the true champ come out of me.

They know he’s not on my level. They know what I possess and what I do. Him not liking me has nothing to do with what I’m going to do Saturday.

Nothing he’s said has gotten under my skin. It’s unbelievable to think that you could get inside another man’s head who gets in the ring and puts it all on the line for this.

He will get what he deserves. I’m a man of my word and everyone knows what I do. I’m ‘Mr. Keep Running Your Mouth.’ Isto é o que eu faço.

I want to knock him out and I’m going to knock him out. I’m going to set up the right shots. I’m going to set up what he’s not going to see. I’m going to show you how to take the belt.

All I know is that I’m ready to fight. He’s all hype. The only thing fake about him is that injury he put up to get out of the rematch, but we’re here now so its whatever. I’m going to crush him.

EFE AJAGBA

I know he has experience and he’s lost to a few good fighters. I’m going to stick to my game plan and I look forward to showing it to everyone on Saturday night

I have to test him with my jab and see how he reacts. He has movement and has good experience. I’m going to let him get tired and find my spots. I can’t wait to get in there.

We worked really hard in training camp and I know that I’m getting better every day. This is a good test for me and a good opponent who will make me use what we’ve worked on in training.

IAGO Kiladze

I know that’s he’s a strong young fighter, but he doesn’t have experience like me. I have more fights and more tough fights. I think that he’s going to try to come forward, but I’ve worked really hard to stop him.

I’ve worked on my power and I will show it on Saturday night. I believe in myself and I’m going to show everything I’ve worked on in training camp.

We’re going to take what we’ve been working on in training and bring it into the fight. We know what he’s uncomfortable with and we’re going to take advantage of it.

KARLOS BALDERAS

I’m an Olympian for a reason. I’ve faced the best since I was 15. This is a great opportunity for me and I’m going to make the most of it. He knows what’s coming Saturday night.

I’ve been here before and I’m ready to make a splash. 2020 is my year to shine. I’m ready or the big names. I know what I’m here to do.

He’s a rugged fighter who comes forward and brings the fight. I’m too experienced for him though. No final, my talent is going to speak for itself. We can say what we want up here, but my talent will speak for itself.

RENE TELLEZ GIRON

The only loss I had was a fight I believe I won, but you always learn from a fight. Balderas is a good fighter and I respect him, but he’s in for a war.

I’ve been in tough fights everywhere so I know what it will be like Saturday. He’s quick in the ring and I’ve watched video on him, but it’s nothing that I won’t be able to overcome.

I know what he can do and I know that I have everything I need to get this victory. I’m going to take advantage of this opportunity and I know that we’re going to steal the show Saturday.

THREE UNDEFEATED PROSPECTS IN TOUGH TESTS HIGHLIGHT 250TH EDITION OF SHOBOX: A NOVA GERAÇÃO SEXTA-FEIRA, Janeiro 17

Vladimir Shishkin, Shohjahon Ergashev And Ja’Rico O’Quinn in Tripleheader Live on SHOWTIME (10 p.m. ET / PT) De WinnaVegas Casino em Sloan, Iowa

Os ingressos para o evento, que é promovido pela Promoções Salita, começa ás $20 e já estão à venda no www.WinnaVegas.com.



“Vladimir Shishkin was a stellar amateur with over 300 extremidades. We believe he is destined to become a world champion,”Disse Gordon Hall, who has been the Executive Producer and steward of ShoBox: A Nova Geração for all 19 anos e 250 editions of the cornerstone boxing series. “Shohjahon Ergashev was on prospects to watch lists in 2018 and has lived up to lofty expectations. His aggressive style and punching power make him a fighter who boxing fans want to see. 2020 will be a big year for both fighters. This series was built on giving young, talented fighters national television exposure and we are excited to get a first look at Ja’Rico O’Quinn, a U.S. amateur standout who is an all-action fighter with high expectations.”



“On January 17, boxing fans are going to see some of the best prospects in boxing from big to small,”Referido promotor Dmitriy Salita. “The card features young, hungry fighters in the super flyweight, junior middleweight and super middleweight divisions. Vladimir Shishkin, Shohjahon Ergashev and Ja’Rico O’Quinn are all undefeated, world-rated fighters on their way to national recognition and world titles. Primeiro, they have to pass the biggest tests of their careers.”



The 28-year-old Shishkin shined in his United States and ShoBox: A Nova Geração estréia em agosto, registering an eighth-round technical knockout against then once-beaten DeAndre Ware. Standing at 6-foot-1, Shishkin was a standout amateur in Russia where he compiled 301 ganha em 330 fights before turning professional in 2016. He has won his last four contests – all scheduled 10 ou 12 round fights – via knockout, incluindo um 10th round TKO of former world title challenger Nadjib Mohammedi prior to his American debut in October 2018. Currently training in Detroit under Javan “Sugar” Hill, Steward at the new Kronk Gym, Shishkin is looking to continue his ascent up the rankings in the super middleweight division with a second consecutive statement win on ShoBox.



“Training with Sugar Hill at Kronk Gym is going really well, and I can guarantee that I will be ready and I will put my newly learned skills to use,” Shishkin said. “I hope for another emphatic victory that impresses the American boxing fans. I’m looking forward to putting on a great fight and letting the champions at 168 know that this is my year.”



The 30-year-old Sierra, from San Diego, Calif., is riding an eight-bout winning streak including a unanimous 10-round decision over Fidel Hernandez for the vacant WBC Silver Super Middleweight Championship in April. The son of former San Diego Padres pitcher Ulises “Candy” Sierra, he has sparred with future Hall of Famers Andre Ward and Canelo Alvarez and former world champion Peter Quillin. Prior to Sierra’s career-best win in April, he won four straight contests in Mexico, incluindo três por nocaute.



“I’m happy for the opportunity to face a good opponent and I’ll use him as a steppingstone to get where I want to get,”Disse Sierra. “I still have a month of preparation to get into the best shape of my life. I know Shishkin is undefeated and has a Russian amateur pedigree. It’ll be the hardest fight of my career, but I will do anything and everything to come out victorious.”



Hard-hitting super lightweight Shohjahon Ergashev (17-0, 15 KOs), do Uzbequistão, is ranked in the top-15 in three of the four major sanctioning bodies. The 28-year-old is coming off an impressive fourth-round knockout of veteran Abdiel Ramirez this past August onShoBox. In his previous appearances on the prospect developmental series, the former member of the Uzbek national team scored a third-round knockout against then top-10 rated Sonny Fredrickson, and a 10-round unanimous decision over previously unbeaten Mykal Fox. The powerful southpaw currently trains alongside stablemate Shishkin in Detroit.



“I am adding new dimensions to my game and plan on making a big statement in the first ShoBox of the year,Disse Ergashev. “2020 is going to be my year and I am going to set the tone in my fight with Estrella.”



Estrela, who hails from Monterrey, México, se tornou profissional em 2010 e ganhou 22 consecutive fights before he suffered his first setback in 2015. With just seven of his 33 pro fights going the full distance, Estrella is an all-action fighter typical of his Mexican roots. He earned a career-best win, a closely-contested split decision over Oscar Duarte, na sua U.S.. debut in February. Estrella will face his fourth undefeated prospect in his last five fights as he looks to get his career back on track with a win over the highly-regarded Ergashev.



“This is an opportunity I’m going to take full advantage of,” said Estrella. “I’ve been in camp for the last two months, so I’ll be in perfect shape to go in there and do my thing. I know Ergashev is a southpaw and a hard puncher with a big KO record, but I’ve been in this situation before. I have too much experience for him. Knowing that if I win this fight I could get a world title shot is all the motivation I need.”



The 24-year-old O’Quinn is rated No. 10 in the world by the WBO. Ranked as the No.1 amateur bantamweight in the country compiling a record of 130-18 antes de virar profissional em 2015, O’Quinn boasts blazing-fast hands and an ability to throw effortless combinations. A fan favorite in his hometown of Detroit, he was last seen winning a unanimous decision over James Smith of Flint, Mich., em Outubro.



“The time has finally come,”Disse O'Quinn. “It’s my time to show the world who the king is on live TV. For those that don’t know, Janeiro 17, I’m going to show the world greatness in is purest form. They are going to see charisma, skills and explosiveness. I know I’m fighting a tough competitor. Ele não vem estabelecer. I’m coming prepared for war. It’s going to be a great night for boxing in the super flyweight division. I’m putting all the champions on notice.”



Vasquez, from Reno, Nev., is a former streaking prospect in the super flyweight division. After losing his third professional fight, the 5-foot Vasquez rattled off thirteen consecutive wins between 2012 e 2017 and was well on his way to making a name for himself in the division before a unanimous decision loss to once-beaten Ricardo Sandoval in May 2018 halted his momentum. After a year-and-a-half layoff, Vasquez returned by fighting Gilberto Mendoza to a majority draw in October. Em 32 anos, the hungry Vasquez finds himself in a do-or-die fight against O’Quinn.



“Training in Reno is going amazing,”Disse Vasquez. “It’s such a tremendous opportunity for my life. I’m trying to get to a high ranking and it’s a dream come true. I know O’Quinn is undefeated. He’s a boxer who likes to grab a lot. He doesn’t like pressure. I’m hoping I will tire him out. I think he’ll eventually give in as the fight goes on if I put on a lot of pressure. In the later rounds, he won’t even want to come out of his corner.”



Barry Tompkins vai chamar a ShoBox ação do ringue com Steve Farhood e ex-campeão mundial Raul Marquez servindo como analistas especializados. O produtor executivo é Gordon Hall com Richard Gaughan produção e direção de Rick Phillips.

MARK BRELAND

Mark Breland: “Gosto de boxe, é muito divertido. Estou feliz de estar aqui porque eu vi um monte de lutadores que eu cresci com nos amadores. Gosto de boxe porque ele me manteve fora das ruas. Eu não era um cara rua., Meu pai teria me batido até se eu tinha ficado em apuros nas ruas. Boxing me manteve fora das ruas, manteve-me no ginásio. Eu acho que eu era bom nisso. Eu tive uma briga com um valentão quando eu era 14 e eu vencê-lo. Eu fui para a academia no mesmo dia e meu treinador me perguntou o que aconteceu. Meus dedos foram triturados com sangue. Disse-lhe que tinha uma briga na rua. Ele disse que você não pode lutar na rua. Então eu percebi boxe e luta de rua são duas coisas diferentes.

Shelly Finkel (seu empresário), quando ele entrou na minha vida, mudou um monte de coisas. As coisas mudaram muito. Eu me concentrei mais no boxe, focada nos Jogos Olímpicos, e ganhou campeonatos. Cada torneio Fui para, Ganhei, Mas foi muito divertido. Eu queria inspirar jovens. Espero poder inspirar alguns amadores chegando. Para continuar, ficar fora das ruas, e fazer algo que pode mudar sua vida em um bom caminho., Eddie Futch para a vida!”

Quando chegou a hora de eu fazer o mal, não fui eu, não era Marvis Frazier. Assim, hoje, Eu ainda estou cheirando-lo mesmo se ele não está aqui.

“Eu adoro falar de boxe. Como eu amador foi 46-1 e então quando eu virei pro, I bater o cara que tinha me nocauteou. Eu amo meu pai. Ele era um cara bom e um campeão. Eu sei que todo mundo sabe Muhammad Ali e eu sei que todo mundo sabe ‘Smokin’ Joe Frazier.”

Eu tinha três ou quatro que não se importava com o boxe, mas eles queriam que seus filhos para obter uma educação. Izzy Acosta é um. Eu tenho um registro perfeito em Marquette alta, todos eles se formou. Tenho quatro filhos com mestrado, Eu tenho 14 que têm graus, e quatro caras que são policiais e não há maneira eles devem ser policiais. Sou abençoado.

“treinadores antigos diria que você é somente tão bom quanto suas memórias. É uma loucura com crianças 14, 14, 15. Eu tinha um garoto chamado Vernon Forrest, um campeão mundial quatro vezes., Não é apenas sobre boxe. Está ficando uma educação e depois de dez anos eles têm uma boa vida. Quero agradecer a todos por me colocar no Hall of Fame.”

GERVONTA DAVIS & YURIORKIS GAMBOA LOOK PARA REINICIAR O LEGADO DA HISTÓRIA DO ATLANTA BOXING INICIADA POR TODOS OS GRANDES MUHAMMAD ALI & EVANDER HOLYFIELD

Davis e Gamboa se enfrentam pelo WBA Lightweight World Championship na primeira luta pelo título mundial de Atlanta em mais de 20 Anos no próximo sábado, Dezembro 28 Vivo no canal Showtime® Da State Farm Arena

ATLANTA – Dezembro 18, 2019 – Quando Gervonta Davis e Yuriorkis Gamboaconfronto pela vaga WBA Lightweight World Championship em dezembro 28 na premiada State Farm Arena em Atlanta, eles farão história em um viveiro de boxe há muito mal servido que já sediou lutas monumentais com os membros do Hall da Fama Muhammad Ali e Evander Holyfield.

“Só para ser mencionado com os membros do Hall of Fame é incrível,” disse Davis. “Estou sem palavras. Não é só grande para mim, é grande para o boxe na cidade e todos os outros lutadores que têm a oportunidade de lutar no card.”

The Davis vs. O show Gamboa SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING apresenta duas lutas pelo título mundial e será o primeiro evento do campeonato mundial em Atlanta em mais de 20 anos. Jean Pascal vai defender seu WBA Light Heavyweight World Championship contra o ex-campeão de duas divisões Badou Jack em co-apresentação do evento Premier Boxing Champions.

Antes de dezembro 28, a última luta pelo título mundial em Atlanta foi a defesa do campeão mundial dos pesos pesados ​​Evander Holyfield IBF e WBA contra Vaughn Bean em setembro 19, 1998. O SHOWTIME transmitiu essa luta ao vivo desde o demolido Georgia Dome, onde 41,357 fãs presentes viram o andar residente de Atlanta Bean no 10th rodada a caminho de uma vitória por decisão unânime.

Apesar da forte participação e atmosfera festiva para Holyfield vs. Feijão, o Hall of Famer Holyfield lutou apenas quatro vezes em Atlanta em seu 57 lutas profissionais abrangendo quase três décadas. A cidade sediou a primeira luta pelo título de Holyfield, uma luta que é amplamente considerada a melhor luta de cruiserweight da história e uma das últimas grandes 15 lutas redondas. Em Julho 12, 1986, Holyfield desafiou o campeão WBA Cruiserweight Dwight Muhammad Qawi em uma luta de ida e volta que Holyfield venceu por decisão dividida para capturar seu primeiro título mundial.

Enquanto Holyfield vs. Qawi é considerada a melhor luta da história do boxe de Atlanta, o maior e mais significativo evento da cidade foi a luta de volta de Muhammad Ali em 1970. Ali foi destituído de seu título de peso pesado e exilado do boxe após ser controversamente condenado por evasão de convocação em 1967. Enquanto seu caso ainda estava em apelação nos EUA. Suprema Corte, Ali recebeu uma licença para lutar na Geórgia em sua primeira luta em mais de três anos e meio. Ali parou Jerry Quarry na terceira rodada em outubro 26, 1970 no City Auditorium em um evento que marcaria seu retorno triunfante. A condenação de Ali foi anulada no ano seguinte, em junho de 1971, apenas três meses após o “Luta do Século” com Joe Frazier.

Embora a Geórgia tenha sido o lar de vários campeões mundiais recentes, nenhum lutou em Atlanta como campeão. O falecido campeão mundial de duas divisões Vernon Forrest nasceu na vizinha Augusta e morava em Atlanta, entretanto ele nunca lutou como campeão na capital do estado. Similarmente, ex-campeão de duas divisões Paul Williams, também de Augusta, lutou apenas uma vez em Atlanta em 2001 antes de se tornar campeão.

Davis, quem está a caminho de esgotar seu terceiro local consecutivo do ano em três cidades diferentes, espera tornar o boxe em Atlanta um elemento permanente.

“O destaque estará em Atlanta,” disse Davis. “Eles não têm uma grande briga lá há muitos anos. Portanto, é um sonho trazer de volta o boxe em grande estilo, como fiz em Baltimore. Atlanta me acolheu de braços abertos por tantos anos. Sempre soube que tinha fãs e sempre quis lutar aqui. Agora é o momento perfeito na minha carreira para que isso aconteça.

“Eu sou um lutador, mas também sou fã. Então, estou ansioso por isso tanto quanto todo mundo. Vou dar tudo de mim, Eu sei que Gamboa vai dar tudo de si. Vai ser uma ótima noite em 28 de dezembro.”

Os ingressos para o evento, que é promovido pela Mayweather Promotions, Promoções GTD e Promoções TGB, estão à venda e disponíveis em Ticketmaster.com. Bons ingressos ainda estão disponíveis. Todos os ingressos começam em $54 e $104.

JASON LANDRY LOOKS TO AVENGE FIRST LOSS WHEN NEF RETURNS TO PORTLAND

PARA DIVULGAÇÃO IMEDIATA: Portland, Maine (Dezembro 18, 2019) - Fights Nova Inglaterra (NEF) realizará suas próximas artes marciais mistas (MMA) evento, “NEF 42: Sinfonia de destruição,” no sábado, Fevereiro 8, 2020 no Merrill Auditorium em Portland. Hoje mais cedo, NEF announced the addition of an amateur welterweight bout to the card.Jason Landry(2-1) está programado para assumirDustin Carrier(0-0) com um peso de luta de 170 libras.

Jason Landry burst onto the NEF fight scene earlier this year making more noise than any rookie had in some time. Landry dominated and submitted a much more experienced Justin Boraczek (4-3) in Landry’s debut at “NEF 38” last spring. In his follow-up effort, Landry nearly took Dan Seigars’ (0-1) face off with a single punch knockout just seven seconds into the first round.

Landry’s momentum, contudo, would come to a screeching halt this past September when he met Mike “Boogaloo” Bezanson (4-0) in Orono, Maine. After a wild opening exchange, Bezanson would stop Landry via technical knockout within the first minute of the first round. Not one to let a loss get him down, Landry has used it as a learning experience and motivation to return to the cage in the New Year.

“Fighting has always been a passion of mine,” stated Landry. “Going into that cage where it’s just man-to-man—there’s no better adrenaline rush than that. Losing is learning and is great fuel for the fire. I can’t wait to get back out there and put on one hell of a show for the NEF fans. Expect action-packed chaos!"

Dustin Carrier will be making his amateur debut on February 8, but he his team at Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) will undoubtedly have him ready for the cage. Carrier trains at the Lewiston, Maine-based gym alongside longtime NEF competitors like Jesse “The Viking” Erickson (9-8) and former amateur flyweight titleholder Dustin Veinott (5-4).

Lutas da Nova Inglaterra’ próximo evento de artes marciais mistas, “NEF 42: Sinfonia de destruição,” acontecerá no sábado, Fevereiro 8, 2020 no Merrill Auditorium em Portland, Maine. Os ingressos já estão à venda emwww.PortTix.com.

I’ve been meeting some very influential people, and these are individuals that are making a difference in San Antonio. Today was incredible and I want to thank everyone for all their support.

Barrios has been active in his community since becoming a world champion. Em Outubro, Barrios joined Palace Shoe and gave way shoes to thirty families at the Boys and Girls Club.

I think being a positive role model is important, so I’m going to join forces with everyone, to help make San Antonio a better place for our youth,” Barrios continuou. “Building a strong community is what’s important at the end of the day, and I’ll be here to help out. Em breve, I’ll be having a big fight in San Antonio, and I’m going to make sure tickets are priced reasonable so everyone can come out and enjoy the fights.
