Thurman proved he is still an elite welterweight, winning a 12-round unanimous decision over former super lightweight world championMario «El Azteca» Barriosin the main event of a FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View event Saturday night from Michelob ULTRA Arena at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.
“This was a comeback fight after two and a half years away,” said Clearwater, Florida’s Thurman. “I wish I had my best performance, but I did the best I could under the circumstances. “I grade this performance a C+ or B- for myself.”
In his first fight in over 30 mois, the 33-year-old Thurman (30-1, 22 KOs) displayed the attributes that led him to the top of the 147-pound division. Thurman got off to a strong start and never relinquished control, at times punishing Barrios with hard shots.
Quartiers (26-2, 17 KOs) had his moments in his welterweight debut, particularly in the eighth when a left hook to the body caused Thurman to back up. The 26-year-old slugger from San Antonio, Texas also showed grit, gamely fighting back despite Thurman’s heavy artillery.
“Tonight I showed the Mexican warrior in me. I take my hat off to Keith Thurman, he’s a warrior as well. We gave the fans a great fight,»A déclaré Barrios.
Néanmoins, it wasn’t enough to overcome what was a fine performance from the relentless Thurman. “We rocked him. We weren’t able to put him down and out, but we had a great performance and a great fight,” said Thurman.
“I want the belts. I want the champions. I want to be back on top, so whoever is willing to send Keith Thurman the contract, let’s go!" In the super featherweight co-main event, four-division world championLeo "Le tremblement de terre" Santa Cruzdelivered another vintage performance, overcoming adversity to win a wide 10-round unanimous decision overKeenan “Bedo” Carbajal.
“I went good rounds. If I had gone in there and finished him fast, I wouldn’t have gotten the experience I needed,” said the 33-year-old Santa Cruz. “I felt the long layoff a little bit, but I did my best and hopefully the fans loved it and want to see me again.”
Santa Cruz (38-2-1, 19 KOs) suffered a cut underneath his left eye and one along his right eyelid both from accidental headbutts.
Undaunted, “El Terremoto” dominated the action, hurting Carbajal (23-3-1, 15 KOs) several times on his way to winning every round on all three scorecards (100-90).
“We’re going to go back to the gym, get better and work on what we did wrong,” Santa Cruz said. “We want to unify and defend our title. We want all the champions at 126 livres. " Pay-per-view action also saw rising super welterweight sensationJesus “Mono” Ramos (18-0, 15 KOs) deliver a spectacular performance in the biggest fight of his career. The 20-year-old Ramos remained undefeated by knocking out dangerous veteranVladimir Hernandez (13-5, 6 KOs) à 2:21 du sixième tour.
“I was boxing him smartly and I wasn’t really looking for the knockout,” said Ramos. "C'est un dur, gars durable. I broke him down round by round, landing a clean shot that hurt him, so I got the job done.
The end came swiftly in the sixth when a Ramos overhand left caused Hernandez to lose control of his legs. Ramos proceeded to batter him to the head and body until referee Mike Ortega mercifully stepped in.
“We want to build our resume, like Floyd Mayweather did,” said Ramos. “He had Gatti, Corrales, Castillo and all the guys. That’s something you can’t take away from him and that’s what I want to do. I want to earn my reputation. I’m not here to have Instagram followers. I’m here to make a statement in boxing.” In the pay-per-view opener, ancien champion du monde de deux divisionsLuis “Pantera” Nery chutéCarlos Castroin the first round on his way to a 10-round split decision win in a tactical battle between super bantamweights.
“My experience was definitely a factor,” said Nery. “I have three world title fights under my belt and have faced tougher opponents than he has. It showed tonight.”
The action heated up in the first when southpaw Nery connected with a straight left that deposited Castro on the seat of his trunks. The Phoenix, Arizona native managed to rise and survive the frame.
The bout turned into a chess match in the middle rounds as both Castro (27-1, 12 KOs) and Mexico’s Nery (32-1, 24 KOs) had their moments. À la fin, Nery’s defense and accuracy proved to be the difference as he won 96-93 et 95-94 on two cards, while a third judge scored it for Castro, 95-94. “I wanted to show everyone that I’m not just about haymakers,” said Nery. “If I wanna brawl and be tactical, I can do that too.
“I knew I could knock him out, but I wanted to win proving I could box too. I would counter-punch and attack the way I wanted to.”

Valenzuela totally dominated the first three stanzas, landing nearly four times the punches that Berrio landed.
In the fourth and fifth rounds, Berrio found a bit of a rhythm with his unorthodox style and landed a few clean shots on Valenzuela.
Cependant, Valenzuela made some adjustments, continued to severely outwork Berrio and dominated much of the second half of the bout.
Even when Berrio landed a right hand to Valenzuela’s jaw in the eighth round and followed it up with a left hand that briefly stunned Valenzuela and pushed him back, Berrio took his foot off the gas, allowing Valenzuela to regain himself and win the eighth round on two of the judges’ scorecards.
The tenth and final round was an all-out slugfest with both fighters landing their share of blows, but Valenzuela survived the best of what Berrio had to offer and cruised to a wide decision victory.
The co-main event on FS1 featuredRajon Chance(5–0–1, 5 KOs) combattre Elon De Jesus(3–0–1, 2 KOs) to a majority draw (57-55 for Chance, 56-56, 56-56) in a six-round super bantamweight attraction.

Dans le quatrième tour, Chance and De Jesus got twisted up with Chance bending down to stabilize himself. As Chance leaned forward, De Jesus landed a blow to the back of Chance’s head. Referee Jerry Cantu immediately deducted a point from De Jesus for the infraction.
Midway through the fifth stanza, De Jesus scored a sensational knockdown with a massive right uppercut to Chance’s jaw. Chance picked himself up off the canvas and complained to Cantu that he couldn’t see anything. Cantu called for a timeout to have the ringside physician examine De Jesus’ eyes and the physician approved the fight to continue.
Although De Jesus dominated the action throughout and scored the only knockdown in the contest, the point deduction resulted in a majority draw with both Chance and De Jesus maintaining their undefeated records.

LAS VEGAS (Août 22, 2021) – In a career-defining fight, Yordenis Ugasshone bright on the biggest of stages.
A boisterous crowd of 17,438 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas watched the underdog Ugas outbox and out-fight the greatManny Pacquiao to win a 12-round unanimous decision and retain his WBA Welterweight World title in the main event of FOX Sports PBC pay-per-view.
“I’m very excited but, most of all, I want to thank Manny Pacquiao for giving me this moment in the ring today,” Ugas said afterward. “I told you, I am the champion of the WBA and I showed it tonight.”
“I’m very emotional. A lot of people say Cubans can’t win the big fight. Si, I’m very proud that I got this win for Cuba and showed what we are all about.”
Pacquiao, comme toujours, was gracious in defeat.
“Congratulations to Ugas and his team,” said Pacquiao. “Thank you to all of you. I want to thank all my fans and the media. For many decades, the press, media and boxing fans were always behind us, supporting us. That’s why we’re here, why we became popular and why we accomplished our dreams as a fighter.
“I am a fighter outside and inside the ring. I look forward to returning to the Philippines and helping them during this pandemic.”
Ugas used his size, strength and length to keep Pacquiao guessing, slowly wearing down boxing’s only eight-division champ to win in decisive fashion.
Pacquiao, 42 (67-8-2, 39 KOs), promised a fast start and lived up to his word in the first, darting in and out with combinations. Unfazed, the 35-year-old Ugas (27-4, 12 KOs) maintained a tight guard. Dans la seconde, he unveiled his long left jab, alternating it up and downstairs as Pacquiao struggled to get inside.
Pacquiao began the third with a short left but Ugas silenced the crowd with power shots of his own. The Cuban began landing a looping right in the fourth, a punch Pacquiao struggled with the entire night.
Following a close fifth, Ugas regained the upper hand in the sixth, working the jab and delivering well-placed punches to the body. Two-way action brought the crowd to their feet in the seventh as they shouted “Manny! Manny! Manny!” Ugas remained poised, pushing the Philippine Senator back with more rights.
“My trainer, Ismael Salas, and I had a plan,” said Ugas. “We were going to move him around; we were going to use the jab and keep him off balance. That was the whole game plan.”
Ugas controlled the eighth, and the raucous audience responded to more punishing rights by Ugas. Sensing the fight slipping away, Pacquiao picked up the pace in the ninth. Encore, the harder shots came from Ugas.
Early in the 10e, a Pacquiao left forced Ugas to clinch. The momentum was short-lived. Ugas had now found a home for his right and was throwing it with regularity. Le 12ewas particularly one-sided. Ugas repeatedly landed the right, hurting Pacquiao on several occasions and opening a cut near his left eye.
“The right hand was a shot I had planned to use on Manny,” said Ugas. “It kept working so I kept using it.”
The triumphant Ugas raised in his arms in victory as the bell sounded. Quelques instants plus tard, three judges scored the bout in his favor, one turning in a 115-113 card while the other two had it 116-112.
“In the future, you may not see Manny Pacquiao in the ring,” Pacquiao said. “I don’t know. Let me rest first, relax and make a decision if I’ll continue to fight or not.”
“He’s a legend, one of the greatest fighters that ever lived,” Ugas said of his opponent. “I’ll always respect him not only as a great fighter but outside the ring. I also admire that he fights for his country, as I do. I want to free Cuba.”
En cas de co-principal, Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero (37-6-1, 20 KOs) battled his way to a 10-round unanimous decision over“Vicious” Victor Ortiz (32-7-3, 25 KOs).
All three judges scored the bout 96-94.
“It felt good to be back in the ring with fans and I definitely fed off of their energy,” said Guerrero. “I knew this was going to be an all-out war. Victor Ortiz brought the best out of me tonight. It was back and forth action the entire fight and I came out on top as I predicted.”
Much of the action was fought on the inside where Guerrero landed the cleaner shots. After a feel-out opener, Guerrero came alive in the second, stunning Ortiz with a series of power shots.
Round after round, the two former world champions unloaded short shots in close quarters with each refusing to take a backward step. Guerrero capped off his performance with a strong 10e Cadre, which proved to be the difference on the cards.
“Je pensais que je gagné. C'est ce que c'est,” said Ortiz. “It was a close fight. He didn’t hurt me. A couple times I got caught off balance but that was it. I should have boxed a little better, but hey, he did what he had to do.”
“Now I’m ready to step up and fight anyone they put in front of me,” said Guerrero. “I have a lot left in me and I’m in this sport to win another world title. I dedicate this fight to my family and I give all the glory to my lord and savior Jesus Christ.”
In a star-making performance, Mark “Magnifico” Magsayo (23-0, 16 KOs) of the Philippines scored a spectacular knockout ofJuillet Ceja (32-5-1, 28 KOs), putting the former world champion away in the 10eround of their WBC Featherweight Title Eliminator.
“I just worked a lot on the straight punches,” said Magsayo. “I kept working it round after round and when I saw he was hurt, I followed up.
“I’m so glad for the outcome. I expected his style to make it happen and I expected a knockout tonight.”
It looked like it might be an early night when a counter left hook from Magsayo floored Ceja in the first. Mexico’s Ceja gamely rose and worked his way back into the fight, slowing Magsayo down with combinations to the ribs.
Ceja’s work paid off late in the fifth when a left uppercut introduced Magsayo to the canvas. The 26-year-old slugger made it to his feet. The bell sounded moments later.
Ceja attacked the body with abandon in the sixth and seventh but it was Magsayo who found his second wind late. His fast hands and feet allowed him to dictate the action in the eighth. He enjoyed an even better ninth, flashing his left in the forms of jabs and hooks.
With the fight seemingly hanging in the balance, Magsayo let it all hang out in the tenth. As Ceja sought refuge along the ropes, Magsayo uncorked a picture-perfect one-two flush on the Mexican’s jaw. Ceja sagged to the mat, helped along the way by another right. No count was needed. Referee Kenny Bayless ended the bout at 0:50 du 10e tour.
“I got knocked down and was surprised, but I focused my mind on what I wanted, a world championship shot,” said Magsayo. “It’s my dream today and now it’s coming true. Hopefully my next fight is a world title shot.”
In the pay-per-view opener, Carlos Castro (27-0, 11 KOs) turned in the finest performance of his career, arrêter l'ancien challenger pour le titre mondial Óscar Escandón (26-6, 18 KOs) dans le 10eround of their back-and-forth featherweight encounter.
“Escandón has been in there with the best. He’s gone a lot of rounds with world champions,” said Castro. “But it was just a matter of time, picking our punches. I sat down a little more on my shots. I’ve been with Manny Robles for only four months. With a little more time, I think we’ll be able to dominate the division.”
Castro used his height and reach to keep Escandón at bay early on. Escandón was game throughout. Late in the first, he pinned Castro against the ropes and buckled him with a hard left hook.
“I knew it was going to be a slow start,” Castro said. “Manny Robles taught me a lot, but a year and a half out of the ring, a new coach—it’s always different. Sparring and training is always different from fights, so I feel great and happy for the opportunity. I have to keep progressing.”
By the start of the second, Castro was back to using his jab and timely footwork. His punch output increased with each passing round.
Escandón began to show signs of wear in the fifth. Castro was now landing to head and body with regularity. Early in the seventh, Escandón was badly wobbled by a right hand. Castro pounced, unloading a series of power shots. Escandón countered with a wild left hook that missed. The force of the blow drove Escandón to the canvas. Referee Celestino Ruiz improperly ruled it a knockdown, which was later overturned and ruled a slip.
Castro sought to close the show but Escandón showed incredible heart, fighting him off until Castro was forced to retreat. The crowd roared their approval at round’s end.
Castro continued to dominate in the ninth. He closed the show in the tenth, landing another big right followed by a volley that floored Castro. Ruiz mercifully waved it off at 1:08 du 10e tour.
“I fought my heart out and gave my best effort, but it just wasn’t my night tonight,” said Castro. “I had him hurt in the first round, but I didn’t have enough time to finish him off. I give Castro a lot of respect, he’s a great fighter and showed great sportsmanship. I’m not done and I will be back.”
“What’s next is up to my promoters,” Castro said. “I’m going to take some time off to spend time with my family, thank my coaches and enjoy the victory.”
Précédant le pay-per-view, rising lightweight sensationFrank “The Ghost” Martin (14-0, 10 KOs) impressed again, pitching a 10-round shutout overRyan Kielczweski (30-6, 11 KOs) in the main event on PBC action live on FOX and FOX Deportes.
All three judges scored the bout 100-90.
The 26-year-old Martin dictated the pace from the opening bell, working behind a southpaw jab and stepping in with combinations. Kielczewski was game but had no answer for Martin’s speed, power and athleticism.

Sur ce qu'une victoire fera pour sa carrière:
“A win here puts me in a position to get in contention for a world title, and that should be the goal of everyone who is fighting, to win a world title. If you’re not fighting to win a world title, you shouldn’t be in the sport. I want to win at least one more world title before it’s all said and done. It’s a lofty goal, but I believe in myself.”

Voici ce que les combattants avaient à dire mercredi:
Manny Pacquiao
“I want to say that I’m praying for Errol to make a fast recovery from his injury. Health is always the priority and the most important thing. I did my best in training and in preparation for this fight, so I wanted to make sure my hard work was not wasted.
“Ugás was ready to fight and challenge me on August 21. So it’s a great thing that I can show off my hard work in the gym when we face each other on fight night.
“I’m not disappointed at all in what happened because my hard work will not be wasted. Ugás stepped up and is bringing his WBA championship into the fight, which I’m excited to fight for.
“I always consider myself a bipartisan boxer. I am happy to fight either right-handed or southpaw fighters. It’s no problem for me at all to switch the styles that I’m going to face.
“What I can say to the fans is that this is definitely not an easy fight. Ugás is a champion because they gave him my belt. Maintenant, we have to settle it inside of the ring. I cannot take him lightly, because he’s the kind of fighter who will take advantage of that.
“I have a lot of people around me that motivate me to win this fight, especially for my family. I’m also very motivated to give the fans a great fight that they’re going to enjoy in the arena or watching on pay-per-view.
“In the end, I want to win the belts. I’m so excited for this championship fight and I don’t care if I’m the challenger or champion coming into it. We’ll see who is the champion after August 21.
“I know that Ugás is also very prepared for his fight because he was going to be on the undercard. If there was no Ugás on the undercard, it’s possible we would have cancelled the fight. It’s a good thing we had another welterweight champion on the card for this scenario that happened.
“The only danger for this fight is the change in stance. Both Spence and Ugás are aggressive fighters, ce qui me plaît. We can create a lot of great action in the ring that the fans will love.
“I would tell the fans not to miss this fight. This is going to be a really good one. I’m sure that me and Ugás are going to give a fight full of action. I’m excited to see everyone in Las Vegas on August 21.”
YORDENIS UGÁS
“I’m feeling great and super excited to fight on this big stage. I’m ready to go get in the ring on August 21. I couldn’t be more excited for this fight.
“When I got the call that I was going to face one of the best fighters in history, it just pushed my excitement to new highs. I can’t wait to show everyone what I’m capable of.
“I also want to wish Errol Spence Jr. a safe and fast recovery. I hope he gets healthy soon and we see him back in the ring.
“I’m used to taking fights at the last minute. It’s really nothing new to me. Once I knew I was fighting Pacquiao, I got right back to work, because I’m always ready to fight anyone they put in front of me.
“I got elevated to being the WBA champion in January, but now we can say that whoever wins on August 21 is the true WBA Welterweight World Champion.
“It’s all about making adjustments at this point. I’ve had a lot of experience doing this before fights. It’s happened multiple times, so I’m truly prepared at all times to adjust to whatever comes my way.
“Fighting Manny Pacquiao is very significant to me. It means the world to me. I’m not fighting for the money, I’m fighting for my legacy, and for my country. This is the most important fight of my life.
“I’m well-aware that Pacquiao is the favorite. But at the same time, Je suis un champion. Since I came back five years ago, I’ve overcome so much. I’ve faced so many strong opponents in order to get to where I am today. I have full confidence in myself and my ability to get a victory.
“When I went away from boxing, I was focused on family and spending time with my son. At that time, I never thought I would be defending a title against Manny Pacquiao. But for the past five years I’ve been one of the most active and successful boxers out there and I’m ready to prove myself once again.

Arreola’s workout took place at the Ten Goose Boxing Gym in Van Nuys, California where Arreola is participating in his second training camp with Goossen. Arreola’s first fight with Goossen saw the veteran former title challenger set numerous CompuBox heavyweight records in a narrow decision loss to Adam Kownacki.
Here is what Arreola and Goossen had to say Wednesday:
Chris Arreola
“I’m ready for this fight. I’ve been waiting for this fight for four or five months. This one is going to be a barnburner for sure.
“This fight is important for my legacy. I want to make the fans happy they bought this fight. I don’t fight for paychecks. I’m a fighter for the fans. So I hope they enjoy this fight and buy this pay-per-view.
“I love what I do. I’m a fortunate person to have been a fighter since a young age. I bleed boxing. I put my whole self out there every time I fight. I know that I owe it to the fans to give them a great fight.
“Defensively I’ve grown so much working with Joe. He’s taught me a lot about keeping my hands up and countering. He hasn’t reinvented the wheel, he’s just made sure the wheel is round.
“I was able to keep up the pace against Kownacki because I did everything I had to do in the gym. I could have given three more rounds at the end of that fight too. The fight is always won in the gym and we put all of the work in to win that fight. I thought I won that fight. Despite not getting the decision, it was a fun fight for me.
"Je me sens bien. I’ve been working hard for months. I know that I have to make this a great fight for the fans and for myself. I know how crucial this fight is for my career.
“I don’t pay attention to the odds. If people want to make me the underdog, I’m comfortable with that. I’ve been an underdog my whole life.
“I’ve had some long layoffs before, so I know how to get back into it when the time comes. The sparring helps you know where your timing is at. That’s the best way to gauge where you’re at in your training camp.
“It’s a beautiful venue at Dignity Health Sports Park. There isn’t a bad seat in the house. Every time I go there I love to sit up there with all the fans and enjoy the fights. It’s going to be a fun night of boxing on May 1 and I can’t wait.”
JOE GOOSSEN, Entraîneur d’Arreola
“Chris and Andy are veterans. They’ve been around a longtime. They know how to turn on the switch when the time comes. We’re preparing for a great fight on May 1.
“When you have two guys of the same talent, how do you determine who wins the fight? It’s the fighter who’s in better shape. That’s the underlying thought process here. Both Chris and Andy have talent, but our goal is for Chris to be in the best shape possible. The difference plays itself out in those last few rounds of the fight.
“You’re going to have the best Andy Ruiz that we’ve seen in this fight. And we have the same on our side. Our team has been working hard as well. I don’t expect anything but a great fight. However many rounds this goes, ça va être des feux d'artifice.
“We’ve been training for around four months but he hasn’t peaked too early because we’ve been consistent. Once we built up to a certain point, we’ve kept it there. He’s not worn out at all. This is what fighters are supposed to do. They’re supposed to be in the gym training.
“I’m very confident and calm heading into this fight, because Chris has been doing exactly what he’s supposed to be doing. That’s all you can ask for.”

Les billets pour l'événement en direct, qui est promu par Promotions TGB, Promotions Man Down et promotions DSG, sont maintenant en vente, et peuvent être achetés à SeatGeek.com, le fournisseur officiel d'AT Ticketing&T Stadium.
Voici ce que les participants à la conférence de presse ont dit mardi:
ERROL SPENCE JR.
“Je me sens béni et prêt à partir. Je sens que je suis 100% physiquement. Nous nous sommes entraînés dur et restons concentrés. J'ai hâte de donner quelque chose à encourager les fans de ma ville quand je défends mon titre contre un grand adversaire.
“Je ne voulais pas de combats de mise au point. Je voulais quelqu'un qui est dur et qui pourrait me pousser à la limite, pour que je puisse redevenir Errol Spence Jr. Je vais donner une excellente performance et entendre "et encore’ en décembre 5.
“J'ai choisi Danny Garcia pour pouvoir me montrer à la hauteur. Je suis toujours le meilleur chien de la division. Combattre Danny montrera à quel point je suis un combattant.
“Le père de Danny m'excite de parler de la venue de son fils, jetant beaucoup de coups de poing et me prenant les ceintures. Alors je serai prêt pour tout ce que Danny apporte sur le ring. Je ne vais pas me lancer dans des jeux de tête comme avec Shawn Porter. J'ai combattu le match de Shawn et l'ai battu à son propre match. Je sais qu'Angel veut que je reste là et que je me bagarre avec Danny, mais je vais faire ce que je dois faire pour gagner le combat.
“C'est à moi de faire un grand bruit en revenant de mon accident de voiture. Les petits adversaires étaient pour avant que je ne devienne champion. Je suis enfin arrivé au sommet, où je peux combattre les grands noms, donc je ne vais pas en arrière. Ce sont les gars que je voulais combattre pour toujours.
“J'apprends certainement plus des victoires de Danny. Il a beaucoup de belles victoires. Vous apprenez beaucoup de toutes sortes de combats. Je suis un étudiant du jeu et un fan du sport. Tout ce que je fais de toute façon, c'est regarder la boxe. Je connais donc très bien les victoires et les défaites de Danny.
“L'accident m'a juste rendu plus affamé et encore plus concentré. J'ai la même faim maintenant que j'avais avant de remporter le titre. Je viens au camp beaucoup plus léger et cela m'aide à avoir un camp encore meilleur.
“Je suis le champion, et à la fin de la journée,, Je peux juste me battre. Quand il arrive au fil, Je sais comment creuser profondément et sortir en tête.
“Cela signifie tout pour se battre à la maison, surtout avec tout le monde traversant la pandémie. Je veux juste que tous ceux qui sortent soient en sécurité et suivent les protocoles, et nous en ferons une excellente soirée.”
DANNY GARCIA
“Le camp va très bien. Mon poids est bon et j'ai l'impression que nous sommes en avance sur le calendrier. Maintenant, nous ne le prenons qu'un jour à la fois. Je suis ravi d’être dans cette position pour me battre à nouveau pour le titre.
“En décembre 5, aucune pierre ne sera retournée. Nous allons le donner 110% et lui prendre ces titres dans sa ville natale.
“J'ai été un outsider toute ma carrière. J'ai l'habitude de jouer ce rôle. Je dois juste y aller et être moi-même. Je dois croire en moi 100% et se battre tour à tour. Je vais montrer de quoi est fait un vrai champion.
“Après les combats de Garcia et Porter, J'ai vu quelques trous dans son jeu et je savais que ce serait une bonne opportunité de redevenir champion. Ce type de combats fait ressortir le meilleur de Danny Garcia. Ils me donnent la motivation supplémentaire dont j'ai besoin et c'est pourquoi je la voulais.
“Je pensais que Spence était l'homme le plus grand et le meilleur contre Mikey Garcia. Mikey a de grandes compétences, mais Errol avait de la taille et lâcha ses mains. Ça a fait geler Mikey, donc il n'a pris aucun risque. Il a réussi de bons contre-coups, et c'est le genre de choses que je prends en considération pendant ce camp.
“Mon travail est de me battre. Je ne peux pas y aller et m'inquiéter pour les juges. Ils vont faire ce qu’ils font. Mon travail consiste à travailler dans la salle de sport pour que je sois prêt le soir du combat. Je dois y aller et gagner des rounds et gagner le combat.
“Je sais que je suis un grand combattant. J'ai déjà participé à ce type de combats. Je sais de quoi je suis fait. Tant que je suis mentalement et physiquement à mon meilleur, personne ne peut me battre. Je suis un homme dangereux quand j'ai cette concentration.
“Nous menons ce combat comme Errol est 100%. Nous ne comptons sur rien qui l’entrave. Nous prenons cela aussi au sérieux que possible. Nous voulions ce combat il y a longtemps, mais nous devions juste rester concentrés. Maintenant, le combat est enfin là et j'ai l'impression que nous allons avoir une belle performance.
“Je crois que je fais tout bien. Je peux frapper à l'intérieur et boxer. C’est pourquoi je suis trois fois champion du monde. J'ai affronté tous les styles imaginables et je suis arrivé en tête.”
DERRICK JAMES, Entraîneur de Spence
“Le camp d'entraînement a été vraiment bon. Nous travaillons dur depuis mars. Tout se concentre jusqu'à décembre 5. Nous avons pris notre temps et c'était un processus graduel pour arriver à ce point. Il était déjà en forme au moment où ce camp a commencé, nous avons donc eu une bonne longueur d'avance.
“Même quand Errol reprenait son rythme, il avait toujours l'air bien. Mais vous pouviez voir l'amélioration jour après jour à mesure qu'il se sentait plus à l'aise d'être de retour. Tout le monde verra en décembre 5 qui Errol Spence Jr. c'est vrai.
“C’est formidable de pouvoir se battre à domicile contre un combattant comme Danny. Faire une belle performance construira la légende d'Errol et son stock continuera d'augmenter. Errol a toujours été capable de gérer les combats devant les fans de sa ville natale. Nous aimons tout ce que la ville nous apporte et nous nous nourrissons de cette énergie dans le ring.”
Angel Garcia, Père de Garcia & Entraîneur
“Tout a été parfait au camp. Vous pouvez voir à quel point il est beau en ce moment. Danny serait prêt à partir demain s'il le fallait. Ça va être une super soirée pour moi et Danny. Ne rien prendre à personne, mais nous venons prendre ces titres.
“Je ne regarde jamais les bandes des adversaires des combats passés. Nous n’allons rien apprendre de cela. Quand j'entraîne Danny, Je me concentre sur Danny. Tout ce que je sais, c'est comment rendre Danny meilleur. Nous allons dicter le combat et être au sommet d'Errol. Nous n'allons pas nous battre comme Mikey Garcia et courir toute la nuit.
“Cette fois-ci, nous n'allons pas le laisser aux juges’ mains. On a choisi d'aller le combattre à Dallas. Danny a fait cet appel. A la fin de la journée,, Danny doit juste y aller et faire son truc.”
TOM BROWN, Président de TGB Promotions
“Errol Spence Jr. vs. Danny Garcia est l'un des combats les plus intrigants de cette année et c'est un combat qui déterminera qui est le meilleur combattant livre pour livre au monde..
“Ce sera une formidable soirée de boxe et ce sera au domicile de la meilleure franchise de sport professionnel au monde., AT&T Stadium. C'est l'hôte parfait pour un affrontement avec deux combattants à leur apogée, tous deux prêts à mettre leur héritage en jeu.
“Spence est l'un des combattants dont on parle le plus dans le sport. Beaucoup le considèrent comme le meilleur combattant du monde, et avec raison. Il veut être défié et c'est le type de combat qui élève notre sport.
“Danny Garcia est un combattant de retour. C'est l'un des combattants les plus qualifiés et les plus testés de notre sport.. Ce qu'il a fait à 140 livres, avant de monter, était tout simplement incroyable. Rassembler ces deux éléments vous rappellera les grandes batailles des poids welters du passé.”

NORWALK, comme. (Octobre 21, 2019) – Undefeated former championBrian Carlos Castañowill look to further cement his place in the 154-pound division when he battles exciting veteran contenderWale “Garçon Chanceux” Omotosoin a 10-round super welterweight showdown that headlines FS1 PBC Fight Night and on FOX Deportes Saturday, Novembre 2 from MGM National Harbor in Maryland.
Les billets pour l'événement, qui est promu par Promotions TGB, are on sale now and can be purchased by visitingwww.mgmnationalharbor.com/.
Castaño most recently fought in a standout back and forth title match against Erislandy Lara in March that ended in a split-draw. With a win on November 2, the unbeaten Argentine will put himself in position for either a rematch with Lara or one of the other standouts in the stacked division.
Here is what Castaño had to say from training camp at Legends Gym in Norwalk, California with his head trainer and father Carlos as he discussed his showdown against Omotoso, his most recent fight, future matchups and more:
What are you looking to show to the rest of this division in the fight against Omotoso?
“As I do in every fight, I try to prove that I belong among the best in the division. I may no longer be a world champion, but I still feel I am a world champion because I didn’t lose in the ring. Si, I want to show against Omotoso and the world that I’m ready for everyone.”
What do you know about Omotoso’s style and what kind of fight can fans expect?
“He is a warrior that always comes straight forward to fight. He has proven many times that he can take punches and compete with anyone. Since I´m a warrior too, I think the fans are going to be in for an exciting war.”
What did you think of the decision in the Lara fight? Did you believe you did enough to win the fight?
“Even though I know it was a competitive fight, I know I did enough to get the win. I respect Lara as a great champion, but you cannot win fights of that level by only backpedaling all the time. I applied the pressure and connected with great punches, so I saw myself as the winner.”
Is the rematch with Lara the fight you want with a win on November 2?
“I thought I was going to have the rematch with Lara already but he probably didn’t want it. First things first, I have a tough challenge in front of me in Omotoso and I never underestimate anybody. I have to beat him in convincing fashion in order to earn another world title shot, either with Lara or any of the other top fighters in the division.”
How does it feel to be sharing a card with another one of Argentina’s best fighters, Jésus Cuellar (who fights Javier Fortuna in the co-main event)? Is there added inspiration because Argentina will be so represented on the telecast?
“It’s always a great honor to represent Argentina in the U.S., which is the mecca of boxing. To share the card with a guy like Cuellar, whom I’ve known well since our times together on Argentina’s national team in the amateurs, will definitely be something meaningful. I know we’re both working hard to make our country proud on November 2.”
