Jermell Charlo

"Nous avons 10 jours à venir et je suis excité. C'est le moment le plus important de ma vie. J'aime cela. je fais ça depuis que je suis gosse. Mon expérience à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur du ring a tout conduit à cela. Il est maintenant temps pour moi de tout mettre en jeu.

"Castaño va tout laisser sur le ring. Donc nous ne jouons à aucun jeu. Je me suis entraîné très dur. J'ai ajouté des choses qui m'ont rendu meilleur parce que je sais pertinemment que ça va être un grand combat.

"J'aime mon état d'origine du Texas et j'aime y combattre. Nous sommes élevés différemment. Nous sommes un État qui a mené ses propres guerres. C'est énorme. C'est un combat d'héritage pour moi et je suis prêt pour cela.

"Je sais ce que je possède sur le ring. Quand il est temps de se battre, Je deviens instantanément le meilleur guerrier qui existe.

« J'ai souffert toute ma vie, donc il n'y a rien dans ce monde qui puisse me faire souffrir plus que ce que j'ai vécu en grandissant. Castaño est un grand combattant qui met beaucoup de pression. Mais je connais mes capacités et je connais mon pouvoir. Chaque coup que je lance est dominant et chaque coup que je lance est douloureux pour mon adversaire. J'ai beaucoup de capacités uniques en moi et je vais apporter quelques astuces dans ce combat.

"Je n'ai pas encore frappé Castaño donc je ne sais pas ce que son menton fera quand je le frapperai. Je sais qu'il a un grand coeur. Je vais juste faire ce que je fais, c'est ce que tout le monde sait que je fais. Tout le monde voit ce que je peux faire à chaque fois que je monte sur le ring.

"Je me sens vraiment bien au camp d'entraînement. Mieux que je ne l'ai jamais ressenti. Je suis dans la fleur de l'âge en ce moment et je me sens plus fort combat après combat. J'ai développé chaque camp.

"J'ai des ceintures sur des ceintures et il a une ceinture. Je suis prêt à prendre cette sangle aussi. J'ai fait attention à ce qu'il faisait. Je ne suis pas resté assis depuis que j'ai combattu Jeison Rosario. J'ai travaillé.

"Pour le moment, je ne suis pas inquiet de ce qui se passe après ce combat. Je ne peux que me concentrer sur ce qui est devant moi. Je suis visionné en tunnel en ce moment. C'est ce que je veux et je ne vois rien en dehors de la victoire en juillet 17.

"Vous allez voir un Jermell Charlo plus développé en juillet 17. Je vous garantis que vous allez voir un meilleur combattant livre pour livre. A tout moment, ce combat pourrait être terminé avec.

"C'est un combat majeur parce que c'est de l'histoire pour moi et ma famille. C'est énorme pour tout le monde que je représente et qui me soutient depuis toutes ces années. Il était temps d'y entrer pour ce combat. Les ceintures et l'argent ne sont pas dans mon esprit. Ce que j'ai en tête, c'est l'héritage.

"Peu de gens ont ces opportunités. Ce combat va solidifier beaucoup de choses différentes dans l’esprit des gens à propos des Charlos. »

BRIAN CASTAÑO

"C'est mon opportunité. C'est le combat de ma vie. Je suis champion du monde et Charlo est champion du monde. La chance de devenir incontesté est juste 10 jours et je ne peux pas attendre. Ce est mon temps. Ce combat est si important pour ma vie. J'espère devenir incontesté en juillet 17 pour mon pays et pour mes supporters latins.

"C'est l'un des combats les plus importants de l'histoire de l'Argentine. C'est pour quatre ceintures, incontesté à 154 livres. C'est une belle opportunité pour mon équipe, mon manager, ma famille et surtout, pour moi. Ce sera le combat le plus dur de ma carrière.

"Charlo est un grand combattant, Il n'y a aucun doute là-dessus. Mais je suis venu ici pour faire mon travail et je vais m'avancer. Je suis le genre de combattant qui te poursuit toujours. Je suis toujours là pour te mettre la pression. Même si Charlo a dit que je n'ai rien qu'il n'ait pas vu avant, il n'a jamais vu personne avec mon style de combat.

"J'ai vu Charlo abattre beaucoup de combattants avec un seul coup de poing. C'est quelque chose à surveiller. Cependant, J'ai plus de variété dans mon arsenal que n'importe qui avec qui il a combattu auparavant. Si je dois être plus agressif et opter pour plus de puissance au lieu de finesse, soyez assuré que je peux l'assommer aussi.

« La rouille des bagues ne sera pas du tout un problème. Je m'entraine tous les jours. Je m'entraîne trois fois par semaine. Je me suis entraîné deux fois par jour ces derniers temps. Je suis en rythme et en forme. je viens pour les quatre ceintures.

"En juillet 17, Je peux garantir que je mettrai mon âme à nu, Je laisserai mon cœur dans le ring et ferai tout ce qui est en mon pouvoir pour devenir l'incontesté, champion du monde unifié.

"Je pense que Charlo est aussi dans la fleur de l'âge. C'est pourquoi j'ai cherché ce combat. C'est le combat que je cherchais parce que nous sommes tous les deux dans le meilleur moment de notre carrière, et je veux en profiter.

"Je suis pour la gloire. Je veux être le premier de l'histoire à être champion incontesté à 154 livres à l'ère des quatre ceintures et être également l'un des meilleurs boxeurs argentins et latino-américains qui aient jamais vécu. je vais pour tout. Je vais tout laisser tomber samedi soir et il n'y a aucune raison pour que je ne puisse pas être à la fois l'un des meilleurs combattants livre pour livre et aussi l'un des meilleurs boxeurs argentins de tous les temps..

"Si je gagne, la gloire serait égale à un titre potentiel de la Coupe du monde d'Argentine l'année prochaine. Cependant, le football est différent parce que vous avez 10 d'autres personnes sur qui vous pouvez compter. Messi a 10 coéquipiers à qui il peut passer le ballon quand les choses se corsent, mais quand je suis sur le ring je suis tout seul. La boxe est plus un défi individuel. Quand je suis contre les cordes, Je dois m'en sortir tout seul. La gloire et l'excitation d'une victoire seraient les mêmes qu'une Coupe du monde en Argentine pour mon pays.

"Cette opportunité d'entrer dans l'histoire de mon pays et du peuple latino-américain suscite en moi des émotions très fortes. Je ne veux pas laisser tomber mon peuple latino-américain du monde entier. J'en ressens une immense fierté et je suis à la hauteur du défi.

« Je n'ai pas eu l'occasion de rencontrer Manu Ginobili, mais c'est une icône du sport argentin. Il est l'un des meilleurs de tous les temps et ce qu'il représente est emblématique à la fois en tant qu'athlète et en tant que personne.. Il a à la fois mon admiration et mon respect.

« Je suis conscient que les gens peuvent ne pas me connaître, mais je suis ici pour créer mon propre chemin et ouvrir ma propre voie. Je sais que je ne me suis pas beaucoup battu ces derniers temps et c'est peut-être une des raisons pour lesquelles les gens ne me connaissent pas, mais j'ai refusé des combats contre des adversaires qui n'étaient pas du calibre que je voulais affronter. Mon objectif a toujours été d'affronter les meilleurs des meilleurs et l'élite de ma division. J'ai cette chance maintenant et je vais prouver pourquoi je mérite cette chance et pourquoi je mérite d'être suivie.

The 24-year-old Colbert (16-0, 6 KOs) rode a dominant jab to victory as he landed 112 across the 12 rounds according to CompuBox, buoying a 218 à 78 avantage dans les coups reçus. The Brooklyn-native used the jab to set up a variety of effective power punches that he was able to land from orthodox and southpaw stances.

We had a tremendous training camp,»A déclaré Colbert. “We sparred a lot with a bigger guy in Michel Rivera, so I had a lot of practice using my speed and jab in camp. The jab is always a key in this sport.”

Mongolia’s Nyambayar (12-2, 9 KOs), who now fights out of Los Angeles, stepped in to fight Colbert on less than two weeks’ notice, replacing former champion Yuriorkis Gamboa after he suffered a training camp injury. Nyambayar had successful moments in his 130-pound debut, with Colbert even noting the Olympic silver medalist’s power, but he was unable to keep up a sustained attack or keep the busier Colbert from controlling the tempo.

He carried power for a 126-pounder,»A déclaré Colbert. “Boxing is about hitting and not getting hit. I had to use my Muhammad Ali tactics and float like a butterfly and sting like a bee. This was a great fight and ‘Tugdid a great job coming in off only a week and a half of training for me. I take off my hat to him and wish him nothing but the best in his career.
Colbert’s post-fight interview: https://twitter.com/ShowtimeBoxing/status/1411543856345145345

“I’m so excited and beyond happy to get this win,», A déclaré Rivera. “Fernández was a strong, experienced opponent that forced me to change the game plan I had going in.”

An unbeaten Dominican fighter who now trains in Miami, Rivera seemed to take control of the action in round four, as he began to find a home for the straight right hand that would eventually end the fight. The tables turned momentarily in round six however, as Fernandez connected with a clean right hand to the head that put Rivera on the canvas for the first time in his career.

“I knew since the first round that I would have to be careful with him,», A déclaré Rivera. “He had heavy hands and was taller than me, but I was faster and more skilled overall.”

The 23-year-old was able to weather the storm brought by the Spaniard Fernandez and made it through the round despite the knockdown. After regaining his momentum in the seventh round, Rivera broke through with a decisive right hand that crumpled Fernandez early in the eighth, prompting referee Jack Reiss to wave off the bout 44 seconds in the frame. Rivera held an 87 à 76 avantage dans les coups reçus, and connected on 37% de ses coups de puissance, par rapport à 27% from Fernandez.

“I want the fight with Rolando Romero next,», A déclaré Rivera. “Once I do face him, I would like to go up against Gervonta Davis or Teofimo López.”

Before the night of fights, SHOWTIME host Brian Custer interviewed Bellator MMA No. 1-ranked Featherweight contender A.J. McKee, who will face current champion Patricio Pitbull in the Bellator MMA Featherweight World Grand Prix final on July 31 au Forum de Los Angeles.

“I am going to go out there and dig into my bag of tricks and I am going to shock the world,” McKee said. “He’s done a lot for the sport and he has been my target for a long time, ever since I started to come up. I’ve been calling his name for 17 fights and it is time now to get it on.”

Asked if this fight was for the No. 1 spot on the Bellator pound-for-pound list, McKee said: "Absolument. Hands down. This fight is for the pound-for-pound best, Je ressens, dans le monde. À 145 livres, there’s not too many guys that can stop myself or Pitbull.”

McKee added: “This is not going the distance. Stylistiquement, it’s a bad match up for him. Nothing personal but my style is not a good match up for him…. I have to stay long, keep positioning and my feet. Distance is a big part of this fight. And catching him on the angle.”

“This is whatShoBox is known for: matching up fighters for great fights,”A déclaré Bocachica. “Shinard Bunch is a step up in competition. He is from the same gym as Mark Reyes, and you saw what I did to him, En Juillet 23, it will be much of the same. Fighting on SHOWTIME has helped with my profile.

“We are coming to work and make a statement,” Bunch said. “I really do not know too much about my opponent. I know he is a pressure fighter. I am not taking this fight lightly. This is a big fight, and we are going to box smart. This is a blessing to have an opportunity like this. Fighting onShoBoxis something that I have always dreamed of.”

Martino Jules vs. Aram Avagyan – 8-round Featherweight Bout

The 23-year-old southpaw Jules from Allentown, Pa., is coming off his best victory to date in an ESPN bubble fight last July, earning a majority-decision win over Aleem Jumakhonov. Jules is a 2015 Olympic Trials qualifier and had a 60-15 amateur record since turning pro in 2016 and slowly climbing up the featherweight rankings. Jules was scheduled to make hisShoBox débuts en Janvier, but his opponent fell ill the morning of his fight and the fight was called off.

“I am grateful for getting this fight,” said Jules, who is promoted by Kings Promotions and managed by Trifon Petrov. “This is something I have been waiting for a year now. I was supposed to fight onShoBox avant, but the fight fell out. I have been staying ready. Mon adversaire est coriace, and he comes ready to fight. He has a lot of merit to him, and that is pushing me to be better and I am excited to fight someone that will make me perform at my best.”

Fighting under the Salita Promotions banner, the 30-year-old Avagyan returns toShoBox for the third time facing his fourth consecutive unbeaten fighter. En Janvier, Avagyan and Panama’s Jose Nunez fought to a majority draw. Avagyan survived two early knockdowns in his debut against then-unbeaten Dagoberto Aguero to earn a majority decision in the lastShoBox telecast before the COVID-19 pandemic shut down the sports world for several months in Mars 2020.

Born and raised in Yerevan, Arménie, and now residing in California, Avagyan is a decorated amateur with more than 300 combats. He captured two Bronze Medals at the European Championships and represented Armenia at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

“I’m always hungry and want to fight and the fact that it will be on the 20-year anniversary of ShoBox is doubly motivating to put on a great show,» A déclaré Avagyan. “I’m gradually gaining shape and I have another month to show my best side to all boxing fans. I promise that I’m going to war on July 23. Don’t miss this event and the war of the warrior!"

“Me and Michel Rivera got a lot of rounds in together during training down in Miami. We did a great job all camp and I’m just ready and excited to get in the ring.

“I’ve been knocking out everyone they put in front me. They still don’t give me the respect I deserve yet. I just have to keep doing my thing on Saturday night and embarrass him.

“I can’t tell you if he’s my toughest opponent yet. I know that he’s not beating me, and that’s a promise. There’s no way a 126-pounder will come up in weight and beat me.

“He’s a fighter with only one loss, he can come back from that. But it’s not going to matter on Saturday night. He’s supposed to be confident in himself. He can’t say he’s going to get washed Saturday, but that’s what is going to happen.

“I appreciate ‘Tug’ for taking the fight, but Saturday night I’m going to get in there, dominate and beat him up. This is a Nissan vs. a Lamborghini, and I’m the Lambo.

“I agree that ‘King Tug’ might be better opposition than Yuriorkis Gamboa would have been. But it doesn’t matter if it was Gamboa, ‘King Tug’, or Arnold Schwarzenegger in there with me, it was always going to be the same outcome on Saturday night.

“My hair is orange this week as a dedication to the cause of fighting Multiple sclerosis. One of my friends, Dave, back in New Jersey has it and he told me his story of how he was paralyzed as a kid and also had MS. Then I saw him on the Stairmaster in the gym the next day for like an hour. I saw that and realized there’s no excuses I can make for not being in the gym. I do the different hair colors to make people feel special. I want them to know that I’m fighting for them.

“Nobody in the 130-pound division can beat me. I’m going to continue to prove that every time I step into the ring. I’m going to deliver a dominating performance. Don’t be surprised when I stop him.

“I don’t think this is going past 10 tours. I’m going to keep proving that I have power on Saturday night. I’m not discrediting his skills, but I’m just different.”

Tugstsogt Nyambayar

“I’m really excited for this fight. It’s my first fight at 130 pounds and I want to show what I can do. I’m ready for this opportunity.

“Just know this, we are here to win. My team is here to win. I’m ready for Chris Colbert. C'est tout.

“I don’t care that I’m fighting on short notice at a higher weight. I believe in myself. I can fight at 122, I can fight at 126 and I can fight at 130.

“Two weeks’ notice is enough for me. If I didn’t take the fight, Colbert wouldn’t have a fight. So he should be thankful. Let’s see what happens. I’m going to whoop his ass.

“I believe in my speed and I believe in my power. I believe in myself. I just want to test myself. This is a good opportunity versus a good fighter.”

“I don’t think that he can stop me. Watch me on Saturday night. Je suis prêt.

“I’m not worried about anything he says. I’m just focused on the sight. I really believe in myself and that I’m going to hurt him on Saturday night.

“Colbert has similar speed compared to Gary Russell Jr., so it’s not going to be anything I haven’t seen before. The adjustments from the Russell fight have been made in the gym over time.

“I’m very happy to be fighting at Dignity Health Sports Park because Los Angeles is my second home. It’s very exciting to be fighting here and with a crowd there watching. The Mongolian fans are going to show up on Saturday.”

MICHEL RIVERA

“I had a good camp and I have a good team, led by Herman Caicedo who is my coach along with Jukka Toivola. I know that this is a good opportunity and I worked so hard for this fight. I’m so excited for July 3 and I know that this is my chance to show I’m great and to shine.

“Jon Fernandez is a good boxer and he’s a good puncher. I don’t know much about him, but I know that he’s Spanish and he’s a tall guy. He hits hard but I’m in the type of condition to be great in this fight.

“I’m sure that on July 3 when people are watching the fight, they will see who the best boxer is. I’m ready for everything. If he wants to fight instead of box, I will fight too. I have the skills. I believe that I am faster than him. I don’t have problems with his height. You can see in my past fights where I was fighting at 144, and I looked good with big boxers too. I don’t have a problem with it. Everybody will have to tune in July 3 sur Showtime, and they will see Michel Rivera beating Jon Fernandez.

“I’ve been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. I’m Dominican, and in the Dominican Republic you don’t get much opportunity. I came here and I am making my name. Everybody will know that I’m ready to fight the top names at 135 – the best boxers. I have the skills and the talent. I’m young and I’m pretty, trop.

“It’s good that he sounds confident. I am confident too. That makes for a great war. He has a lot of knockouts, but they weren’t against any boxers like me. I’m focused. Comme je le disais, il est un bon boxeur, mais je vais mieux. I’m trusting my talent and I’m trusting my condition.

“My perspective remains the same after this press conference. Fernandez is a proud fighter and I expect nothing less than what he said. I’m also a proud fighter and I’m convinced that I’m better than him. I consider myself better prepared and ready to be considered one of the top boxers in the 135-pound division.

“Training with Chris Colbert was a great experience, and the sparring sessions were awesome. He made me better, just like I made him better. He’s a great person. My fellow Dominican fighter Jeison Rosario wished me luck and told me he knows I’m going to be a world champion someday, and that he will be supporting me and watching the fight from the Dominican Republic.

“Of course I believe that I am the next world champion from the Dominican Republic. I can beat all of the top boxers, the top five, in the 135-pound division. I want to make my name at 135 because I know this is a strong division now. I want everybody to know me at this weight.

“I promise a good fight. Everybody will see the next superstar in the ring on July 3.”

JON FERNANDEZ

“I’m very excited to be here for this fight. Training camp in Madrid and Mexico have been great. We’ve had an outstanding preparation. I’m facing a great opponent in Michel Rivera, but this is the door I need to open to be in the big leagues of boxing. I don’t plan on missing out on this chance.

“I’m glad he’s confident in his abilities, but I think this is a 50-50 rencontre. It’s going to be a great fight and we’re definitely on the same level. There’s no difference in skill levels. I’m going to use my height and show off my boxing ability on Saturday night.

“Rivera is a very good boxer, and has many skills, but I believe that I have equal skills and more power. If I get the opening, I can knock Rivera out.

“I promise that we’re going to put on a great show and deliver fireworks in the ring. My hand will be raised when the fight is over.

“There’s nothing like fighting in Los Angeles. I have already been here before, but nothing can compare to being in the big show.

“Everyone in Spain is supporting me. My city of Bilbao has sent me all its love and they believe in me 100%. Even some famous soccer players have reached out to me. Players from Athletic Bilbao and (former Spain national team striker) Fernando Torres.

“I would like to win in order to open the door for other Spaniard boxers who come behind me and relish this opportunity – like my brother Eker, who is about to make his professional debut. I want to make him proud and put Spain on the map as far as boxing is concerned.

"Si je gagne, it’s not just because of my power. It’s going to be a close fight, but I’m going to give everything I have to come out with the victory.”

Jimmy Williams celebrating.jpeg
BOSTON (Juillet 1, 2021) – Former college football star, super welterweight boxer Jimmy «Quiet Storm» Williams, recently defeated his first world champion, Yuri Foreman, and the veteran New Haven, Connecticut fighter’s boxing career has been revitalized.


Cette dernière Mars 6e, Williams (18-5-2, 6 KOs) was originally supposed to fight Foreman, who withdrew after the weigh in due to sickness. Williams stayed in training camp, took a stay busy fight, and continued preparing for Foreman.


Williams won an 8-round majority decision against Foreman (35-4, 10 KOs) two weeks ago this Saturday in Atlanta for the vacant Universal Boxing Organization (UBO) International and American Boxing Federation (FBA) USA super welterweight championships.


Williams dropped Foreman twice in the sixth round and won the decision by judges’ scores of 77-73, 77-73, 75-75. “Thirty-seconds more and I think I would have stopped him,” Williams said.

Williams and Foreman sparred many years ago at the Joe Grier Boxing Academy in Patterson, New Jersey.


“I’ve been chasing him a long time,” Williams noted. “I stayed in camp when our fight was canceled, took a confidence-building fight, and stayed ready for Yuri. He is a good boxer, not a brawler, and he was in tremendous shape. Yuri’s very intelligent in the ring and fighting him was a good learning experience for me. Par exemple, he was working behind his jab to try and get me to lunge. I had to think more in the ring against him.


“I’m sure he was disappointed after the fight, but he’s a world champion who was in against Miguel Cotto and two of his other losses were to world champions (Cotto andErislandy Lara). This was a huge opportunity for me. I’m excited about my career again. We’ll wait and see what fights are ahead for me.


Williams was a standout cornerback at Southern Connecticut State University who was invited to several NFL tryout camps. He came close to making the cut with the then-Oakland Raiders. “Quiet Storm” has been promoted by Jimmy BurchfieldDivertissements et sports classiques (CES) since he turned pro in 2013.


“This is Jimmy’s biggest win of his career,” Williams’ manager Ryan Roach (Casier de combattant) commenté. “He just opened a lot of doors for himself. I’m proud of him, he worked hard. He made the sacrifices champions make. Taking out a name like Yuri Foreman is why fighter’s go to work every day. We are working on his next fight date now. Restez à l'écoute, ‘Quiet Storm’ fans.”

“I didn’t expect that to end so quickly,” said Morrell. “I thought it would be more like a five or six round fight. Cependant, once Cazares stepped in the ring, I noticed that he was not ready to fight on my level. He wasn’t ready for this kind of test or this level of fight.”

On the devastating knockout, Morrell said, “When I saw the opening, I took him out. When I hit him, I saw his legs wobble and I knew he was gone, completely out.”

“Thank God the judges saw it the right way,” continued Glanton. “That knockdown is something we worked on in the gym. I hope the boxing world sees what my coach is doing. The small details, the intricate things, make the difference in a fight like this. All the little details that he schools me on is what he told me would be the difference in this fight, and I’ll be damned if it wasn’t.”

"Que puis-je dire?” asked Apochi. «Je pensais avoir gagné le combat. Je utilisé mon jab, showed some heart, had some good movement in there, but I’m not the judges. I don’t know what they saw, but I thought that I did what I had to do. Il est un dur à cuire. I won’t take anything away from him. He took some tough shots and he was still there.”

On the possibility of a rematch, Glanton said, “If they want the rematch, then I’ll do it again. I think I’ve proven what I needed to prove, but it’s easier the second time.”

Juárez was doing good work in there, but we were landing the more effective shots. I feel like when I hurt him I maybe could have done a little more to get him out of there early and avoid the decision. But he’s a stronger fighter and I respect his talent.”

Juárez said, “I honestly thought that I did enough to get the win. I did get knocked down. There was one round where I stayed in there and took a couple hits, but I felt like I was the smarter fighter in there. I adjusted well and I thought I did well over all. Almost all of the greats have losses and I know I’m going to be great one day. I just have to fight through this adversity.”

On their professional experience levels, Rivera a déclaré, “I’ve been in the ring 27 times now professionally, and I think Juárez is still a kid who’s developing his skills. I’ve fought some of the best fighters around. I’ve won belts. Si, I definitely think my experience played a difference tonight.”
