Aqui está o que os participantes tinham a dizer Quarta-feira:
ERROL SPENCE JR.
“A lot of people have been asking me when I was going to fight top competition. When you look good in the ring, nobody wants to fight you. Established guys don’t want to fight you, so I want to thank Chris Algieri for taking this fight.
“It would be a major statement if I could stop Chris Algieri. He’s been in there with hard-punchers so I’m looking to make a statement about my power. Especially for me being a young contender, it would just show everything I have in my arsenal and where I’m going in my career.
“I’ve never envisioned it this way, but my team always told me to be patient and everything will come on time. Now I’m here in the NBC main event.
“This is a very important fight. Chris Algieri is a tough fighter. All of his fights have been exciting and we’re looking to make it exciting and one-sided. I’m looking to dominate the whole fight.
“From watching Algieri, I know he has good footwork and likes to box. Recently it seems like he’s become more aggressive and standing his ground a bit more. I’m ready for either style.
“I don’t really care if I get tested. I want to perform and show my skill set. I’m going to answers a lot of questions people have in the ring.
“I know I’ll be the next big star in boxing. I just have to stay grounded, do what I’ve been doing and listen to my team. o céu é o limite.
“I want a world title this year. I want the winner of the Kell Brook vs. Kevin Bizier fight. I would definitely go to the UK. I’d fight any of the champions, but I can’t look past Chris Algieri. Eu sou 100 percent focused on him.
“My career is a process. It doesn’t happen overnight. Para mim, fighting on this platform and getting my story out is a good start. It’s about what I do in the ring, I have to look spectacular and get the knockouts.
“Everybody should tune-in or get your tickets. This is going to be a fight for the history books.”
CHRIS Algieri
“It’s exciting to be back in the main event on the world stage. I take every fight very seriously and I prepare my best each time. It’s just another day at the office.
“I’m looking forward to working extremely hard and being as prepared as possible. I’ve never picked who I step in the ring with. My job is to prepare, fight and win. Em Abril 16 that is exactly what I’m going to do.
“I’m honored to be on a card of this magnitude. I’m looking forward to seeing everybody come out for a great night of fights.
“Every fight going forward is about winning and moving towards a welterweight title. Every fight is one step closer to getting my opportunity. This win over Errol Spence Jr. will propel me into fights with the biggest names.
“I have to beat everybody who is in front of me. That’s what this fight is. Spence is just another guy in the welterweight division. I’ve always said I’m willing to fight the top guys in my weight class and whether he’s the top guy now or will be one day, não importa.
“I’m looked at as the veteran here, but I’m a young veteran. I have a ton of experience and I think that will propel me for the rest of my career.
“Spence hasn’t fought anyone. I don’t think he’s fought a guy who’s tried to win. To label me as a gatekeeper against someone who hasn’t made real fights isn’t really a fair distinction.
“He’s done all his work against guys who were tailor made for him to beat up. He hasn’t fought a guy with footwork or a guy who can box. He hasn’t fought many guys who were in there to win. It will be a really eye-opening experience for him and a lot of people on Abril 16.
“I’ve had some of my best performances at Barclays Center and it’s an honor to be back. I feel that arena brings the best out of me.”
Steve Cunningham
“I won both of my world titles overseas. Guys like Glowacki grew up watching me fight in their home countries. He’s frothing at the mouth to get at me. Sometimes the meal that you want isn’t a good one for you. I’m going to upset his stomach really good.
“Vai ser uma luta boa. I come intelligent and I come to fight. I’m going to make other 40-year-olds jealous when everyone sees the work that I do. I’m going to be prepared mentally, spiritually and physically.
“I’m prepared to fight in any environment. My first title defense was in Marco Huck’s hometown. I went into the lion’s den. It’s all experience. I have a great range of experience and knowledge that helps me in the ring.
“It’s great to be on a card with guys like Errol Spence Jr. and Chris Algieri. I’ve seen these guys grind. I watched Errol in the Olympics and I’ve fought on the same undercards as Algieri. It’s awesome to be a part of this.
“A fight is a fight. Age doesn’t matter to me. Only thing that really means something is the opponent. When you get in there with your plan, the opponent matters less as you break him down.
“When I first started, my motivation was to make money for my family. My motivation is always changing though. I believe I was born to do this. I love working out and pushing my mind and body to the brink. Most of all, I just love challenges.
“I’m is a cruiserweight. My camps are always like seven or eight weeks, but I’m always in the gym. My team is great at making sure I’m ready and peaking at fight week.
“I’m training in Philadelphia and living in Pittsburgh. There’s great work in Philadelphia and that’s why we’re staying there this time. It’s the perfect place to train for this fight.”
MARCUS BROWNE
“There’s never been a champion from Staten Island and that is the goal. I want to become the first from Staten Island.
“I’m always happy to be back at Barclays Center. I’m on a great card and I’m ready to breakout and move beyond the prospect label. I’m ready to display my talents against an undefeated guy.
“Tal Como Abril 16 I’m going to do what I do best. I really want my hands to do the talking on fight night.
“I’m motivated because I came from nothing. I’m hungry to be a world champion, but not just a world champion. I want to be a legend.
“We’re mostly training in Staten Island but we’ll go to California to train at The Rock Gym in Carson, Califórnia. We’re going to get some really good work out there.
“It’s very important to look good, but I’m not putting any extra pressure on myself. We will look good on Abril 16 embora.
“This is boxing. This is what it takes. You have to beat guys like this to get to the next level. This has been a long time coming.
“I’m blessed to be in the position I’m in. I haven’t made it yet and I won’t tell myself that I did. I can’t let myself get comfortable.
“I’m not worried about what my opponent is bringing. I’m just worried about what I bring into the ring.”
Lou DiBella, Presidente da DiBella Entertainment
“This is a great show and I’m really proud to be promoting it. These are three real fights with their own terrific storylines.
“Rising super star Errol Spence Jr. is as talented of a kid as I’ve seen come on the scene em 10 anos or so. That’s how much talent I believe he has. Dito, he hasn’t faced a guy like Chris Algieri. Who is a guy who can do anything in the ring and is a former world champion.
“The fact that Errol is stepping up and that Chris is willing to face Errol says a lot about both guys. These are two confident champions. The winner of this fight will make big money very quickly.
“Glowacki is coming off a Fight of the Year candidate bout and now he’s going to have to face a man who was a cruiserweight champion himself, in Steve Cunningham.
“Marcus Browne, an undefeated Olympian at light heavyweight, will face a strong undefeated fighter in ‘Hot Rod’ Kalajdzic. Marcus is confident in his road to superstardom and hot rod will try to derail that train.
“These are three good competitive fights for the fans.”
BRETT Yormark, CEO do Brooklyn Sports & Diversão
“On the heels of a spectacular night in January, we return for another great night at Barclays Center. This will make our 17th boxing show. We are the home of professional boxing now.
“It’s our second PBC on NBC event and I’m thrilled to have Errol and Chris in our ring. We expect a lot of Long Islanders to take the LIRR to Barclays Center.
“Marcus Browne has the most fights at Barclays Center. Even though he’s from Staten Island, we consider him an honorary Brooklynite.”

The NBC coverage begins at 8:30 p.m. E/5:30 p.m. PT and will see unbeaten world champion Krzysztof Glowacki (25-0, 16 KOs) of Poland squaring-off against former two-time cruiserweight world champion Steve “U.S.S.” Cunningham(28-7, 13 KOs) mais 2012 U.S. Olympian and unbeaten light heavyweight “Senhor” Marcus Browne (17-0, 13 KOs) of Staten Island takes on undefeated Radivoje “Hot rod” Kalajdzic (21-0, 14 KOs) em uma batalha 10-redonda.
PBC on NBC kicks off 2016 with the consensus Prospect of the Year, Spence, Jr. taking a serious step up in competition by going in against popular Long Island-native and former world champion Algieri.
Mais, the first world title defense of Poland’s Glowacki, fresh of a Fight of the Year upset over Marco Huck, against former U.S. Naval officer and former cruiserweight champion Cunningham in a battle that is sure to thrill those watching on NBC and at Barclays Center. For the light heavyweight rising star Browne, this represents a step up in platform and competition as he is featured in a primetime telecast for the first time and will no doubt look for an emphatic victory in his record 11th appearance at Barclays Center.
“I’m excited to be back again, fighting on NBC. Esta é uma grande oportunidade para mim, to be this young and early in my career and headlining a primetime event, just the exposure alone,” said Spence. “Claro, I’m happy to be fighting in Brooklyn at Barclays Center. New York City is known for putting on great fights, and this is going to be a big event with a big-name fighter. Chris Algieri has been in the ring with Amir Khan, Manny Pacquiao and Ruslan Provodnikov and he’s a former world champ. This is a big fight for me and a step up, but I plan to rise to the occasion. I’m going to handle him like I’ve handled all of my past opponents.”
“I am so excited to come back to the US for a major fight,” said Glowacki. “I respect Steve Cunningham as a sportsman and as a man. He is a world class fighter and I know that he will be well prepared against me. I would like to thank my Polish promoters, my coaches, Al Haymon, Leon Margules de Warriors Boxing, and DiBella Entertainment. They gave me the opportunity to face Marco Huck for the world title last year and I knocked him out, doing what I promised. Tal Como Abril 16, I will once again honor my promise and defeat Cunningham in spectacular fashion. Polish and American fans, be prepared for the return of Glowacki!”
“I’m ready to take this step up on my career. We are both putting our ‘0’s on the line and do what I’ve been taught to do,” Disse Browne. “This is the perfect time for this opportunity in my career and there is no better place than to do it at Barclays Center. To be able to win and make a statement on primetime TV from Barclays Center where it all really started for me will be a turning point and I can’t wait.”
“I am ready and excited to showcase my skills and power come Abril 16,” said Kalajdzic. “I am happy to be part of such a huge card and to have the opportunity to fight on NBC and show the world I am one of the best 175 pounders in boxing.”
Os ingressos para o evento ao vivo, que é promovido pela DiBella Entertainment em associação com a Star Boxing, começa ás $25, não incluindo taxas aplicáveis, e já estão à venda. Os bilhetes podem ser comprados on-line, visitando www.ticketmaster.com, www.barclayscenter.com ou pelo telefone 1-800-745-3000.

“Errol Spence may be the premier prospect in all of boxing,” disse Lou DiBella, Presidente da DiBella Entertainment. “He will be tested by a resurgent former world champ, Chris Algieri. Chris nearly upset the applecart for Amir Khan. He looks to stop the rise of a young star and achieve a mega fight. Glowacki’s war with Huck was highlight reel stuff; another barnburner can be expected when he puts his title on the line against Steve Cunningham.”
“It’s great to be doing another event in Brooklyn at Barclays Center with Chris Algieri headlining on NBC,” disse Joe DeGuardia, Presidente da Star Boxing. “This marks the fourth appearance by Chris at the Barclays Center and I expect another exciting performance by Chris as he takes on the very dangerous and undefeated former U.S. Olímpico, Errol Spence, em Abril 16.”
“We look forward to opening our 2016 PBC on NBC schedule in April with an exciting slate of primetime matches from Barclays Center in Brooklyn,” disse Jon Miller, Presidente de programação da NBC e NBCSN.
“We are delighted to have Long Island’s Chris Algieri return to our ring where he won the fight of his career in 2014,” disse Brett Yormark, CEO do Brooklyn Sports & Diversão. “This card is going to produce another electric atmosphere at Barclays Center as we continue to make 2016 our biggest year yet for boxing.”
Um membro da 2012 U.S. Equipe olímpica que ostentava uma carreira de amador altamente condecorado, the 26-year-old Spence Jr.is set for the toughest test of his career as he enters the ring in his first primetime main event. Spence Jr. is widely regarded as a future star in the sport and was dominant in his previous PBC on NBC primetime appearance when he stopped Phil Lo Greco in the third round in June. His huge 2015 also included TKO victories over Chris van Heerden, Samuel Vargas and Alejandro Barrera and concluded with him being named ESPN’s Prospect of the Year.
Algieri chegou à fama em junho 2014 no Barclays Center quando ele perturbar Ruslan Provodnikov por um título mundial super leve. The 31-year-old returns to Brooklyn for his third consecutive fight after earning a unanimous decision over Erick Bone in December. O ex-campeão de kickboxing de Huntington, N.I., construiu seu recorde de boxe com a força de sua excelente movimentação e habilidade com o jab. Sua vitória sobre Provodnikov valeu-lhe um tiro na Manny Pacquiao em novembro. 2014, a bout that Algieri lost. He had previously defeated strong contenders Mike Arnaoutis and Emanuel Taylor on the way to his world title and now seeks a title in the welterweight division.
Representando a grande cidade luta de Filadélfia, Cunningham will look to put on a show in his Barclays Center debut. Twice a world champion as a cruiserweight, Krzysztof Wlodarczyk ele derrotou em 2006 para capturar o cinto antes de defender seu título contra Marco Huck através de um TKO décima segunda rodada. Ele tornou-se um campeão do mundo novamente em 2010 quando ele parou de Troy Ross na quinta rodada. The experienced veteran also owns victories over previously unbeaten fighters Amir Mansour and Natu Visinia and scored a knockdown of Tyson Fury in a losing effort during their 2013 fim.
Glowacki defends his world title for the first time after his sensational 2015 knockout of cruiserweight king Marco Huck in August 2015. The fighter out of Walcz, Poland will receive heavy support from the large Polish population in Brooklyn as he fights in the U.S. for the second time. Prior to his world title winning performance, he picked up victories over Nuri Seferi, Thierry Karl and Ismail Abdoul.
Browne tem sido muito impressionante desde que fez sua estréia em novembro 2011 and the 25-year-old Staten Island-native put together a big 2015 com vitórias sobre Cornelius Branco e Aaron Pryor Jr. before he knocked out former world champion Gabriel Campillo in the first round in September and closed the year by stopping Francisco Sierra in December. Browne’s first primetime appearance will give him an opportunity to show off the lightning speed and impressive power.
Originally from Bosnia and Herzegovina but now training out of Saint Petersburg, Fla., Kalajdzic ended 2015 with first round stoppages of Fabio Garrido and Gilberto Matheus Domingos. The 24-year-old also owns victories over Otis Griffin, Donta Woods and Samson Onyango and will be fighting in New York for the first time as a pro.

Josh Copeland vs. Mike Hayes

The 6-foot-1 Copeland of Denver, Colo. is a former number one ranked heavyweight in his home state, and a four-time title holder since turning professional in 2010.

The 33-year-old, former Youth Ministry student at Dallas Baptist College, ganhou 8 da sua 11 career victories as a professional by way of (T)KO ou finalização, com 5 of those wins coming in less than 2 atas.

A teammate of Gaethje’s at Grudge Training Center, Copeland will look to rebound from a second round (2:50) apresentação (kimura) derrota nas mãos deVitaly Minakov em dezembro 11, a result that snapped a two-fight win streak for Copeland.

During his professional career spanning eight-plus years, the 6-foot-4, 35-year-old Hayes of Redmond, Lavagem. has faced off with elite level competition, including former world champion Andrei Arlovski e superstar Ruslan Magomedov, both of whom he fought to a decision.

No November 2, 2013, Hayes notched his most impressive victory to date, marcar um devastador, terceira rodada (3:11) KO on decorated MMA, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and wrestling champion Jeff “The Snowman” Monson with a head kick.

In his last start on June 4, 2015, Hayes produced another impressive result, fighting former South African national wrestling champion and four-time MMA titlistTrevor Prangley, para um empate.

Cory Devela vs. Louis Taylor

A 6-foot-2, 31-year-old Devela of Bonney Lake, Wash., will enter the decagon cage in the midst of a four-fight win streak that includes a unanimous decision victory over superstar Nick “The Promise” Ring em junho 26, 2015.

A longtime protégé of MMA superstar and submission expert Dennis "Superman" Hallman, Revela, who has notched 11 da sua 16 vitórias na carreira por meio de (T)KO ou finalização, burst into the national spotlight at a Strikeforce promoted event in Tacoma, Lavagem. em fevereiro 23, 2008, marcando uma primeira rodada (1:22) TKO on heralded superstar Joe "Diesel" Riggs with a thunderous slam that rendered Riggs unable to continue fighting.

Devela’s recent ascendance that has him knocking on the door of becoming a world championship contender again, comes after he took an extended, three-year hiatus from competition to care for a sick loved one between 2010 e 2013.

Prior to becoming a mixed martial artist, Taylor was a wrestling standout for the NCAA Division I program at Eastern Illinois University where he benefited from training with fellow, former team member turned assistant coach Matt Hughes, who went on to become a two-time UFC champion and Hall of Fame member.

Josh Cavan vs. Kris Hocum

Fighting out of Denver, Cavan is a 5-foot-10, 32-anos, lifelong athlete who competed at the minor league level of professional hockey before turning his attention to MMA. A winner of 9 da sua 11 professional career fights by way of (T)KO ou finalização, Cavan will look to bounce back from a second round (1:28) QUEM (socos) derrota nas mãos de Joe Eichelberger em novembro 6.

5 pés-11, 30-year-old Hocum of Fort Collins, Colo. made his professional debut on October 27, 2012 as a participant in a one-night, torneio de oito homens, defeating multiple opponents to emerge the victor of the grueling affair. He will look to regain momentum after back-to-back losses in his last two appearances.

The WSOF29 preliminary bout card will be announced soon.

Travis Kauffman honored by Hometown of Reading, PA

Deixe um comentário
Leitura, PA. (Dezembro 21, 2015) – Peso pesado, Travis “My Time” Kauffman was honored in his hometown of Reading, Pennsylvania by the City Council for his excellent performance on December 12th against Chris Arreola in San Antonio, Texas.
In the proclamation, Kauffman was honored for not only his fight with Arreola, where he battled the former two-time world title challenger to a fight in which most people watching the fight both at ringside and watching on NBC had Kauffman ahead, but also for his activities in the community, which includes feeding the homeless and giving back in many facets in Reading.

“I worked hard for years just to get recognized by the city I love,” disse Kauffman. “I made many mistakes in my life, but I turned my life around and have done everything to give back to my community and the people of Reading, Pa. I’m honored today to finally be recognized in my city after all the hard work and the dedication. Thank you to the mayor, the City Council, and the people of Reading, Pa for this award. I’m at a loss for words, but my journey has just begun. I love my city and will rep it until the death of me.”

Kauffman, 30-2 com 22 nocautes, is already back in the gym and is looking forward to his next bout which should come in the beginning of 2016.

O contendor peso-pesado Travis Kauffman fala sobre a polêmica decisão com Chris Arreola

Deixe um comentário
Leitura, PA (Dezembro 14, 2015) -Esse passado Sábado noite na AT & Centro T em San Anonio, Peso-pesado Travis Kauffman (30-2, 22 KO) e o ex-desafiante por duas vezes ao título mundial Chris Arreola se envolveu em uma luta cheia de ação que viu Arreola tomar uma decisão duvidosa por pontuação 114-113 duas vezes para Arreola e 114-113 para Kauffman.
A maioria dos relatos da luta fez Kauffman tomar a decisão, que incluiu o artilheiro do ringue do PBC, Steve Farhood.
Kauffman de Leitura, PA. empurrou a ação e acertou os golpes mais reveladores, que incluiu um knockdown na terceira rodada de uma combinação de jab-mão direita. A luta validou Kauffman como jogador da divisão, mas ele não estava satisfeito com apenas um bom desempenho.
“Eu me sinto bem. Eu pensei que fiz o suficiente para vencer a luta. Eu tinha isso 8-4 ou 7-5 a meu favor mais o knockdown,” disse Kauffman após ver a luta.
“Eu dominei das rodadas três a nove. Eu decolei dez e onze enquanto pensava que estava seguro com minha liderança. Eu dominei o décimo segundo assalto e depois de uma combinação de três socos, Chris caiu para trás e parecia que sua luva tocou a tela. Não importa o que, Eu pensei que ganhei a décima segunda rodada. Eu apoiei ele a luta inteira. Eu o dominei em seu próprio jogo.”
Kauffman acredita que conquistou a multidão e os presentes pensaram que ele merecia o aceno também.
“A multidão me vaiou quando entrei no ringue e me aplaudiu quando eu saí. Eu os ganhei e ganhei o público do boxe.”
Com a performance, Kauffman deve estar na fila para outra luta significativa no primeiro quarto de 2016.
“Falei com meu gerente, Al Haymon e ele disseram que coisas maiores vão acontecer para mim. Tempo é uma revanche ou outra pessoa, Estou pronto para isso. Mostrei que sou uma força na divisão. Eu trabalhei tanto tempo para essa luta, então vou tirar uma semana de folga e curtir meus filhos e já volto para a academia. Espero estar de volta entre fevereiro e abril.”
“Eu agradeço a todos os fãs. Os que estiveram comigo antes da luta, os que se tornaram fãs no sábado.”
Disse o pai de Kauffman, Marshall Kauffman, “Estou muito orgulhoso do Travis e do que ele fez na luta Basta olhar para cada um deles e você poderia dizer quem levou a surra na luta. O pior cenário, a luta foi 6-6 mas Travis marcou o knockdown que deveria ter dado a ele a luta. Acredito que ele terá outra oportunidade. Ele mostrou o que é capaz de fazer.”
