LAS VEGAS – (April 15, 2015) – Mere end 200 accredited press members from around the world descended upon Mayweather Boxing Club for Tirsdagens Floyd Mayweather Media Day. It was the 11-time world champion Mayweather’s first and only open training session before his welterweight world championship unification mega-showdown against Manny Pacquiao på Lørdag, Maj 2, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas live on pay-per-view.

 

Superstars Mayweather (47-0, 26 KOS) og Pacquiao (57-5-2, 38 KOS) is promoted by Mayweather Promotions and Top Rank Inc., the live pay-per-view telecast will be co-produced and co-distributed by HBO Pay-Per-View® og SHOWTIME PPV® begynder ved9:00 p.m. OG/ 6:00 p.m. PT.

 

Several dozen television camera crews, avis skribenter, boksning forfattere, radiostationer, web reporters, photographers and (video) bloggers watched as Mayweather went through the paces during a 90-plus minute workout that included working the heavy bag, smacking the speed bag, hitting the mitts, jumping rope, stretching and doing calisthenics.

 

Before a training session streamed in high definition across multiple platforms, herunder via satellit-feed, YouTube og sociale medier, Mayweather answered questions from the media inside a specially-constructed tent in a parking lot outside the gym.

 

What Mayweather, Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe, træner Floyd Mayweather Sr. and unbeaten WBC Super Bantamweight Champion Leo Santa Cruz, who will fight in the top pay-per-view undercard bout on Maj 2, sagde Tirsdag:

 

FLOYD Mayweather, 11-Time verdensmester

 

“My training camp is basically running the same way. I think it has been smoother than others. I feel very comfortable and happy with my performances. They push me hard at camp. They know what I need.

 

“The timing for this fight is right. This fight is about legacy, fans and family. I surround myself with all of the right people.

 

“I can’t say that this matchup is about hype. This is real life. This is two future Hall of Famers in a mega-fight.

 

“I’ve done record breaking numbers before and it looks like we’re going to do it again.

 

“Everything in life is about timing. I have no regrets that this fight didn’t take place five years ago. I didn’t think it was that big then, but it continued to get bigger and bigger. Not just in boxing, but outside of the sport. Pacquiao has continued to grow outside of the sport. We didn’t need to rush anything.

 

“This is going to be an exciting fight. Our styles are totally different. He is very, very reckless. Every move I make is calculated. I’m always 5-10 steps ahead of my opponent.

 

“We’ll see what happens when the fight starts. But when all is said and done I’m going to be the winner.

 

“Pacquiao is strong and solid but I don’t know if he can make adjustments like I can. I feel tremendous.

 

“This was a difficult fight to make happen, but we made it happen. This fight is one of the biggest ever in boxing.

 

“I’m still going strong. The last time I looked, Jeg var 47 og 0.

 

“Anyone can get hit with a great shot, but I can make more adjustments and Manny can’t.

 

“I don’t think Pacquiao expected me to look as strong or big when we faced off (at the L.A. pressekonference).

 

“I walk around at 150-152 pounds to weigh 147 pounds. Other boxers weigh around 160-170 before coming down.

 

“I’ve got one more fight on my contract. I couldn’t be happier with SHOWTIME and CBS.

 

“Las Vegas is the boxing capital. During a Floyd Mayweather fight weekend, you can shop, party, stay out late and do anything you want. The city of Las Vegas has everything.

 

“There were offers to fight other places, but MGM Grand is my home.

 

“Anything I’ve asked of MGM Grand, they’ve done for me in a heartbeat. They’re all about making entertainers and athletes happy.”

 

LEO SANTA CRUZ, WBC Super-bantamvægt verdensmester

 

“I’m very grateful for the opportunity to fight on such an unbelievably huge card. I really want to thank Floyd Mayweather.

 

“Any boxer would like to be on this card where millions of people are watching. I’m happy to represent Mexico on this night and on this fight card.

“I look at it as a key opportunity for me to make an even bigger name for myself, which is my goal because one day I want to become a superstar like Floyd. That’s why I train really hard all of the time.

 

“There are no little fights for me. I consider every fighter dangerous. You lose when you think a fighter is not on your level and then he comes in hungrier than you. That will never happen to me.

 

“I don’t know who I’m fighting yet, but I’m sparring different guys with different styles.

 

“There’s always a lot at risk for me. People keep talking about all of these big fights, but if I don’t win now, there will be no big fights in the future.

 

“I know who I want to fight, but I don’t pick my opponents; I leave it up to my team. They make those kinds of decisions. My job is to fight and win.

 

“I have to stay concentrated. I have to maintain focus and concentration. I can’t get ahead of myself. jeg giver 100 percent in training and in the ring. I always want to put on a great fight for the fans.”


LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO for Mayweather Promotions

 

“Boxing is at an all time high at the moment. There are a lot of great things going on. Between this fight and getting boxing back on network television, it’s all great for the sport.

 

“This fight will not only elevate the sport in general, but it will bring in the casual fan to the sport and that’s a great thing.

 

“The impact that Floyd Mayweather has had on this sport is immeasurable. People won’t be able to appreciate that until he retires. He’s done so much for this sport. He’s given fighters a platform to say to other promoters that they deserve the lion’s share of the money. He’s brought more sponsorships to the sport.

 

“Floyd Mayweather is the highest paid athlete in all of sports and he happens to be a boxer.

 

“I think the demand thus far only indicates how big this event is. This is a fight that’s been talked about for five years now and everyone is going to get exactly what they’ve been asking for.

 

“Manny Pacquiao is a great fighter. He’s been in a number of great fights and he’s had a terrific career thus far. These are the two best fighters of this generation and come Maj 2 there will be one man standing and it will be Floyd Mayweather.

 

“There’s no doubt it’s going to be a great fight. Jeg er virkelig begejstret. I can see firsthand the day-to-day preparation that Floyd puts in and he’s working just as hard as ever. The fans are going to get a great fight that night.

 

“I don’t know what Manny Pacquiao has to do on Maj 2, but I know what Floyd Mayweather has to do. He has to do what he normally does and go in there and execute his game plan and I really expect Floyd to knock him out.”

 

Floyd Mayweather SR., Mayweather’s Trainer & Father

 

“Floyd is as well rounded a fighter as there has ever been, but he’s really still here because of his defense.

 

“Other guys fight with their head and their mind and come up short. It’s his great defense that has kept him on top for so long.

 

“I want you all to see it. It’s so plain and simple what he’s going to do. Even Ray Charles could see it.

 

“I honestly never thought that this was going to happen. So many people were trying to say Floyd was scared. Lets see on Maj 2 who is scared.

 

“I can’t tell you why or how, but here’s an update, Floyd is going to kick his a** and knock Pacquiao out.

 

“I didn’t watch one tape on Pacquiao. There is no reason to study him. He’s not at this level.

 

“Floyd is the best, I must confess. Nothing is going to stop Floyd Mayweather.

 

“Pacquiao’s trainer Coach Roach (Freddie Roach) is lying to you. Trying to trick you all. Floyd’s not getting knocked down in the gym. Floyd is the one knocking people down. Roach blows smoke with no hope.”

VAN NUYS, Calif.(April 13, 2015) – Tidligere verdensmester Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. afholdt et medie træning på fredag in front of a packed house at Ten Goose Boxing Gym in Van Nuys, Calif., as the Mexican superstar prepares to make his SHOWTIME Championship Boxing® debut på Lørdag, April 18, ved StubHub center i Carson, Calif., lever videre SHOWTIME(10 p.m. OG/7 p.m. PT).

 

I de vigtigste tilfælde af SHOWTIME Championship Boxingdoubleheader, Mexican superstar Chavez, Jr. (48-1-1, 32 KOS) meets dangerous brawler Andrzej Fonfara (26-3, 15 KOS) i en 12-round lys sværvægter Bout.

 

I 10-round co-feature, top 10 ranked junior welterweight contender Amir I (16-0, 14 KOS) will aim to move one step closer to a world title opportunity when he makes his second start of 2015 against fellow power-puncher Walter Castillo (25-2, 18 KOS).

 

Julio Cesar Chavez, velsagtens den største mexicanske fighter nogensinde, gjort en udseende i løbet af sin søns træning for at vise sin støtte og tilbyde opmuntrende ord.

 

Her er, hvad Chavez Jr., Julio Cesar Chavez and Joe Goossen (træner) havde at sige Fredag på Los Angeles-området gym:

 

JULIO CESAR CHAVEZ JR., Tidligere verdensmester

“I am very focused going into this fight. I have changed a lot mentally this past year.

 

“I am fighting [Andrzej] Fonfara now because I like big opponents. I like the challenge of fighting good, hungry fighters. Just because Fonfara doesn’t have the name recognition of other fighters, it doesn’t make him an easy fighter. Han er sej.

 

“I feel comfortable at light heavyweight. Any time that you can add a couple pounds, you feel better. Although I will be fighting at 175, I feel most comfortable at 168 som en bokser. Since I have had one year off, it was a better choice to fight at this weight so that I could see how my body feels.

 

“Since I have added a few pounds, I have become a more physical and stronger boxer. The light heavyweight division has very big and physical contenders.

 

“Joe [Goossen] is a great trainer. He is a great motivator to his fighters and makes them better. I have worked very hard with him for the 35 days we spent together in Lake Tahoe.

 

“When I was training with Freddie Roach, it was very different. I think Freddie is a great trainer, but Joe also has a lot of experience and we have made a connection together.

 

“I really liked training in Lake Tahoe. The altitude, ringen, everything I needed was there. I felt very comfortable up there and I would like to come back there to train for a fight again.

 

“I promise a great fight, this is a very exciting fight. Fonfara isn’t an easy opponent, but he has never seen an opponent like me.”

 

 

SR JULIO CESAR CHAVEZ.

“I am here to support and be with my son. I try to give him good advice. I tell him to train and prepare hard, and fortunately he is doing that well.

 

“I think Joe [Goossen] is doing a great job, we are on the same page. We are all focused on him [Chavez Jr.] getting to the fight well prepared. This fight requires great preparation because he is going into the fight at a weight that’s higher than his normal weight and he is facing a very tough opponent.

 

“He must go in 100 percent to win this fight.

 

“I think there has been a 180 degree turn in his career. I see this as a positive because he can really develop his ability and looks very well prepared.

 

“I would’ve liked to have seen him take a tune up fight instead because of his long layoff; I particularly didn’t want this fight.

 

“Juli [Chavez Jr.] wants credibility in this sport and that’s why he made the decision to take this fight, even though it’s a dangerous decision. He must be very prepared for this fight.”

 

JOE GOOSSEN, Chavez Jr.s’ Trainer

“I’ve been asked over the years who the one fighter was that I would like to work and my answer was always Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

 

“I’ve always really admired his style. I had known him as a kid, his father is a legend. It had always seemed like a dream job for me, and out of nowhere I got it.

 

“Lake Tahoe was tremendous for training camp. You are isolated and it’s not an easy thing. When you aren’t training you are sitting in a hotel room. You are deprived the comforts of home, but it really gives you that concentration and dedication factor and I think that will interpret into some positive results.

 

“I matured over my years, once I had a kid and a family and I think the same has happened with Julio. Life becomes clearer when you put away the immaturity. You realize that you have a future and if you really want to access what’s available to you, then you are going to have to work hard and dedicate yourself to it.

 

“Going to Lake Tahoe and really working hard is a sign of maturity and I think that’s what Julio is going through right now. He really showed it by leaving his home and spending an extended period of time up there. To me that is a great indicator that he is mature, dedicated and taking this fight very seriously.

 

“Of course I believe Julio is ready to fight Fonfara. The fight was made before I even came on board, but that’s the challenge that I am presented with. You must figure out a good game plan and figure out what you’re up against.

 

“Just because Julio has been out a year doesn’t mean that it’s going to be a cake walk for Fonfara. We went up to Lake Tahoe with one thing in mind, and that’s winning this fight and that’s exactly what we’re going to do.”

LAS VEGAS (April 10, 2015) – As Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao fight night approaches, Mayweather Promotions announced today that undefeated Mexican superstar and current WBC Super Bantamweight World Champion Lion “Jordskælv” Santa Cruz (29-0-1, 17 KOS) will be featured on the three-fight pay-per-view televised undercard against an opponent to be determined.

All the fans watching on fight night will be in for a great show when Leo Santa Cruz enters the ring.”

 

“I’m so honored to be the lead-in for Mayweather vs. Pacquiao and I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to do so on Cinco De Mayo weekend,” sagde Santa Cruz. “This will be a huge night for boxing and I plan on showing everybody that I’m all about action-packed fights. I’m grateful to Floyd Mayweather and Mayweather Promotions for giving me this opportunity and giving the Mexican fight fans another reason to cheer on Maj 2.”

 

Mayweather vs. Pacquiao marks the second-consecutive Mayweather pay-per-view event featuring Santa Cruz. In September he wiped out Manuel Roman with a second-round technical knockout as the co-main event of “MAYHEM: Mayweather vs. Maidana 2.” Previously he had fought on the non-televised undercard of MAY DAY: Mayweather vs. Robert Guerrero, with a technical knockout over Alexander Munoz. Derudover, this is the fourth consecutive fight for Santa Cruz at the MGM Grand Garden Arena and his ninth overall in the state of Nevada of his 30 professionelle kampe.

 

In non-pay-per-view undercard action, a pair of Mayweather Promotions’ fighters will look to keep their undefeated records intact. Super welterweight prospect Chris “Sød” Pearson (11-0, 9 KOS) will square off against tough brawler Said El Harrak (12-2-2, 7 KOS) i en 10-round Bout.

 

“Jeg er en ung, hungry fighter who has big aspirations in this sport,” said Pearson. “Maj 2 is a great opportunity to show the world why I will be a future world champion.”

 

Mere, cruiserweight knockout artist Andrew “The Beast” Tabiti (9-0, 9 KOS) takes on an opponent to be determined in eight rounds of action.

 

“I can’t wait for this opportunity to get in the ring and show off my power on Maj 2,” said Tabiti. “I’m always ready to put on a show for the fans and I hope they’re ready to see a big knockout.”

 

“Mayweather Promotions is dedicated to putting on the biggest events for fans and with the inclusion of these great young fighters we are ensuring that once again,” Said Leonard Ellerbe, CEO for Mayweather Promotions. “Chris Pearson and Andrew Tabiti are future world champions who will have a chance to perform on the biggest stage in all of boxing on Maj 2, and I can’t say enough bout how excited we are to have Leo Santa Cruz on the card as the lead in for Mayweather vs. Pacquiao.”

 

The fan-friendly two-division world champion Santa Cruz has defended his super bantamweight title numerous times in impressive fashion on his way to earning a reputation as one of the most exciting fighters in the world. The 26-year-old won his first world title in 2012. I 2013 han vandt hans super bantamvægt titel, which he now holds. Født i Huetamo, Michoaca de Ocampo, Mexico, men kæmper ud af Los Angeles, Santa Cruz looks to entertain the fans at MGM Grand on Maj 2 when he fights on the highly anticipated Mayweather vs. Pacquiao pay-per-view.

 

An undefeated prospect out of Dayton, Ohio, Pearson is coming off of an impressive unanimous decision in Dececmber 2014 over the hard-hitting Steve Martinez and he looks to keep his momentum going when he fights on Maj 2. På bare 24,, Pearson had recorded eight straight victories inside the distance before his most recent bout. He takes on the 27-year-old El Harrak who fights out of Henderson, Nev. by way of London.

 

A 25-year-old with extreme knockout power, Tabiti last fought in December 2014 and delivered with a first-round knockout of Ernest Reyna. It was his ninth knockout in a row to start his career. Født i Chicago, men kæmper ud af Las Vegas, “The Beast” hopes to make it 10 knockouts i 10 tries when he enters the ring onMaj 2.

Her er hvad de krigere havde at sige, inden torsdagens indvejningen:

 

GALARZA:

“We had some great sparring with guys like Daniel Jacobs, Sadam Ali, Khytrov. They always give me top tough work. That’s top competition right there. Fighting guys like that builds my confidence. If I can hang in there with them then I can hang with anyone. They’re going to help to bring me to another level. I feed off their energy.

 

“Moore is an aggressive fighter, but I’m a come-forward guy, for. Jeg kan være aggressive, but smart aggressive. Not just aggressive to punch and throw punches wildly. It’s more being smart, using my defense, my offense and countering when he makes mistakes.

 

“I try not to think about fighting in the main event in Brooklyn, but it helps and it definitely motivates me. Jeg mener, it doesn’t get any better than that – fighting in my home in the main event.

 

“It’s my backyard, so I have to put on a show. It doesn’t give me jitters because I’ve fought in my home before, but the main event is different. I just need to do my job.

 

"For mig, it’s will and skill. I bring my skill level to the next level. How bad do I want it? Am I going to perform well enough to move to the next level and face those top contenders?

 

“I want to face the top prospects so I can earn a spot as a contender. But I need to get through this guy first.”

 

MOORE:

“The main reason why I came all the way to the United States is because here is where boxing is at its best. I’m really excited about this opportunity. Being on SHOWTIME as a main event is huge for me.

 

“It’s not going to be easy, I’m fighting a guy from Brooklyn in Brooklyn in his back yard. But I’ve been in this situation before, I’ve fought abroad many times before and I’m not intimidated. It’s another day at the office for me.

 

“This is it for me, there’s no turning back. Jeg er nødt til at vinde. I just don’t see myself losing tomorrow.

 

“I’ve seen a couple Galarza videos on YouTube. He was more of a brawler at the beginning of his career. Nu, he’s a more disciplined boxer. That can backfire sometimes, something to watch out.

 

“You’ll see fireworks and excitement. I’m not going to look for the knockout. I think it’s a bad strategy to do that. If it comes, it comes. I’ll be looking to win, no matter what. This is a very big fight for me, so it’ll be all about winning, impressing and being at my best.”

 

KHYTROV

“The atmosphere training in Big Bear was amazing. It was one of the best training camps I’ve had. I’ve never been through a camp in the amateurs like that.

 

“I had a chance to meet Gennady (Golovkin) in Big Bear and we spoke and actually became pretty close. We talked about training regime, stuff athletes talk about. I loved it there.

 

“The adjustment from amateurs to pros has been fine. The only difference is handling the different rounds and realizing that you have to pace yourself for these eight, 10, 12 round fights.

 

“The best time to knock a guy out is in the first two rounds when they aren’t warmed up yet. I tried against (Jorge) Melendez but I couldn’t get him out. I just realized I needed to pace myself for the other six rounds and work the body. It was nice to get those rounds and experience against a tough fighter.

 

“I know he (Coley) is a pretty hard-hitting southpaw. I assume that he won’t come forward, but maybe he’ll surprise me. He has a few knockouts, but I’m going to watch him, learn and adapt.

 

“I faced southpaws in the amateurs. His style won’t give me any issues. I could even switch to a southpaw stance if I need to.

 

"Personligt, health allowing, I think I should be a contender by the end of 2015. But I put all my trust into my team. They know best. My job is just to train and prepare for everything they put in front of me.

 

“Yes, 100 percent I’d like to face Gennady. To be the best you have to fight the best. And right now I consider him to be the best 160 pound fighter in the world.”

 

COLEY:

“Fighting on TV for me is a big deal. When I was little, my father used to throw fight parties to watch big fights and tomorrow he’s throwing one for me. That alone makes me so proud. I’ll have my own viewing party. I’m fighting on national television, på SHOWTIME. That’s such of big deal for me. This is my breakout. This is the sign I’m made it.

 

“I stay in shape all year round, but for the past two months I’ve been taking it to the extreme. Training hard, sparring even harder.

 

“I’ve been working very hard. I’ve sparred with world champions and I’ve been doing well. I think this is my time to step up and show everybody how good I am.

 

“I’m predicting there will be a stoppage in the later rounds.”

DEREVYANCHENKO:

“The competition I faced in the WSB was, for the most part, the best fighters in the world. Indtil nu, the guys I’ve faced in the pros don’t have that resume, that skill level. So I think I’ve fought in more than just four pro fights.

 

“I’m working hard in the gym to make the transition from amateur to pro. I’m taking it step-by-step. I don’t want to jump the gun or make a mistake too fast. I’m looking forward to increasing my level of opposition gradually.

 

“I’ve seen some of his (Campa) slagsmål. In some fights he boxes different than in other fights. We’ll see what he does in the ring and adjust accordingly. But I don’t think he can bring anything that I haven’t seen before. But he’s a Mexican fighter so we know he won’t give up.

 

“I’m going to show what I’m worth. I’ve been preparing for this my whole life. Now is my chance to build my fan base and show what I can do in the ring.”

CAMPA:

“This is my first fight in the U.S., and I’m planning to take full advantage of this opportunity.

 

“My training was intense, a lot of running, especially in the mountains. I worked on my conditioning and my speed. I’m at the best shape I’ve ever been.

 

“When I found out about my opponent, I watched video on him and I know I’m better than him. I think my main advantages are age and speed. My opponent is 29, Jeg er 23. I’m younger and quicker and I’m not about to make it easy for him.

 

“I’m going to read him in the early rounds and, if I feel he’s not hurting me, I’ll go the distance.

 

“This fight is a huge step-up for me. I see it as key fight. I feel it might be a make or break for me. We’ll see, I might get a chance to deliver a knockout and that might spark some attention in the boxing world.”

Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr. & His Legendary Father In Training Camp, Preparing For His SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING Debut on Saturday, April 18, bor på SHOWTIME

 

VIDEO PREVIEW LINK: http://s.sho.com/1c5cLDQ

 

“I had a hard life so yes, I am angry with him.” – Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr.

“I had all Mexico and the world at my feet at that time. But it still didn’t fill the void…So what was it that I looked for? The easiest and stupidest things…drugs and alcohol.” – Julio Cesar Chavez, Sr.

 

NEW YORK (April 7, 2015) –The Sports Emmy® Award-vindende serie Al adgang returns to examine the life of Mexican superstar Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr., as he prepares to make his SHOWTIME Championship Boxing® debut against dangerous brawler Andrzej Fonfara på Lørdag, April 18, lever videre SHOWTIME (10 p.m. OG/ 7 p.m. PT) fra StubHub center i Carson, Calif.

 

Al adgang: Chavez premierer Fredag, April 10, umiddelbart efter den levende ShoBox: Den nye generation tripleheader at 10 p.m. OG/PT.

 

Al adgang: Chavez is written and reported by SHOWTIME Sports contributor Mark Kriegel. Author of acclaimed biographies “The Good Son: The Life of Ray ‘Boom Boom’ Mancini” and “Pistol: The Life of Pete Maravich,” Kriegel has long focused on the conflicts and complexities that beset fathers and sons in sports.

 

With unprecedented access to the young star–Mexico’s first and only middleweight world champion–and his famous father, Al adganguncovers the stormy yet loving relationship between Junior and his legendary father.

 

No question remains unanswered in a series of interviews at Junior’s high-altitude camp in Lake Tahoe, where his father once trained. What was it like to grow up as the son of Mexico’s greatest fighter? What price does a fighter pay for drugs and alcohol? And what does it do to his family?

 

Only the ending remains in doubt: Is Junior being punished for the sins of his father, or is he doomed to repeat them?

 

“Fame can be a disease, like addiction,” says Kriegel. “And this family has battled both. Junior and Senior weren’t merely candid. They were confessional. Og, Jeg tror, courageous, too.”

 

Med Al adgang cameras entrenched in camp, viewers will meet three generations of Mexico’s most famous fighting family as the 29-year-old Junior navigates a crossroads of his career.

 

Al adgang: CHAVEZ premieres on SHOWTIME with multiple encore presentations. Al adgang will be available on SHOWTIME ON DEMAND®, SHOWTIME ANYTIME® og online påSHO.com/Sports.

Fredag, April 10 På 10 p.m. OG/PT; Live på SHOWTIME®

NEW YORK (April 2, 2015) - Brooklyn-native, ubesejret Frank "Notorious" Galarza (16-0-2, 10 KOS) vender tilbage til ringen for at kæmpe Belgiens Sheldon "The Closer" Moore (13-2-1, 9 KOS) i en otte-runde super weltervægt Bout hovednavn ShoBox: Den nye generation tripleheader on Fredag, April 10 fra Aviator Sport og Events Center i Brooklyn, N.Y., lever videre SHOWTIME (10 p.m. OG/PT, forsinket på vestkysten).

 

Galarza, betragtes af mange som "The Brooklyn Rocky," fortsætter med at gøre op for tabte tid. Hans chokerende anden runde knockout sejr over begunstigede John Thompson på hans ShoBox: Den nye generationdebut, was one of the most memorable knockouts of the year. Galarza has been on a tear since.

 

"Galarza var en tilfældig fund af ShoBox,'' Anerkendte boksning historiker og ShoBox ekspert analytiker Steve Farhood. "Da han forstyrret Thompson, han har vundet fire gange, og kiggede bedre hver gang. Niveauet af indsigelsen ikke tillader ham at blive kaldt en udfordrer endnu, men han har gjort væsentlige fremskridt. Jeg ville synes i en alder 29 han ville forsøge at gøre dette til et gennembrud år for ham. "

 

Den Galarza-Moore anfald er en af ​​tre planlagte otte-rundbold på en telecast, der har en særskilt Brooklyn smag til det. Undefeated power-stansning mellemvægt Ievgen "Den ukrainske Lion" Khytrov (9-0, 9 KOS) og stablemate, blue-chip super mellemvægt udsigten Sergiy "teknikeren" Derevyanchenko (4-0, 3 KOs / World Series of Boxing: 23-1, 7 KOS) også bosat i Brooklyn.

Billetter kan købes ved at ringe DiBella Entertainment på (212) 947-2577. Døre åbne på 6:15 p.m. OG, med den første kamp planlagt til 6:45 p.m. OG.

 

For Galarza, hvem der snigende op i verden placeringer, den seneste stigning kunne ikke komme på et bedre tidspunkt. En fysisk stærk, aggressiv bokser-puncher, Galarza fik en sen start i boksning og havde kun 11 amatør kampe.

 

"Tiden for mig er afgjort nu,'' Sagde han. "Min første ShoBox kæmpe indstille platform for mig. Jeg har ikke bare vinde en kamp, ​​der absolut ingen troede jeg kunne, Jeg vandt det i stor stil. Jeg fremsatte en erklæring. Jeg har fortsat med at vokse og føler jeg har fået bedre, da denne kamp. Men jeg er her for at vise folk, hvad jeg alt om, fortsætte med at træne meget hårdt og bare tage det lidt efter lidt, en kamp ad gangen.

 

"Det er spændende at kæmpe i den tv-main event i min baghave. Jeg har aldrig været mere motiverede for en match. Jeg vil gerne takke SHOWTIME for at give mig endnu en mulighed for at kæmpe på ShoBox.''

 

Style-wise, Galarza mener, at dette er en stor matchup for ham. "Moore ser fysisk stor og stærk, hård og sultne og kommer til at kæmpe,'' Sagde han. "Han er aggressiv, og det er den bedste del om det - det burde gøre for en stor kamp. Jeg kan være aggressive, for. Jeg ved, han kommer til at kæmpe og alle ved jeg ikke bevæger sig baglæns, så jeg forventer fyrværkeri.

 

"Jeg kommer til at kæmpe hver gang, især på SHOWTIME, på ShoBox hvor de giver dig modstandere af god kaliber, som forventes at lægge på en vis og forventes at yde en god kamp.

 

"Det er i Brooklyn, min hjemby, og jeg ønsker at underholde folket. Dette er mit show, min hjemkomst, og jeg vil forsvare min hjemmebane. Jeg har et job at gøre på April 10, men efter at, de store navne i divisionen vil blive tvunget til at beskæftige sig med mig. Jeg er 29 og om det hele på linjen. ''

 

I sin seneste ShoBox udseende, Galarza vandt en enstemmig otte-runde afgørelse i forhold til tidligere ubesejret Sebastien Bouchard (8-0 går i) maj 16, 2014, af snesevis af 78-73 og 77-74 to gange trods har et punkt trækkes for en lav slag i sidste runde.

 

Galarza modstander, 27-år gamle Moore, gør hans ShoBox debut og fjerde start i USA, hvor han er 1-1-1. Han sidst dukkede op i US. i juni 2012.

"Dette er en enorm mulighed for mig og min karriere, hænder ned dette er den største kamp i mit liv,"Moore sagde. "Det er et must-win kamp for mig. Jeg har set et par af Galarza s kampe, og jeg er helt sikker på, at jeg har hvad det kræver at forstyrre ham i hans baghave. Dette er en drøm for mig, kæmper på nationalt tv, og jeg planlægger at vise boksning verden, at jeg hører på eliteniveau i denne division.

"Min stil er absolut aggressiv. Jeg kan godt lide at gå ned min modstander. Galarza har god bevægelse og god rækkevidde. Men denne kamp vil være den første kamp, ​​hvor jeg ikke behøver at arbejde på siden under udarbejdelsen. Jeg er 100 procent dedikeret til sport og sat til at gå på April 10. "

 

Det 5-fods-10 Moore har vundet sine to sidste kampe, den seneste på en første runde knockout løbet Janos Varga sidste December. 20 i Belgien. Ligesom Galarza, han fik en sen start i boksning og havde en begrænset amatør karriere (27 ender). Han kickboxing, da han var 15, men havde ikke sin første amatør kamp indtil en alder af 19.

 

Khytrov (udtalte HE-omkostninger) var en fænomenal amatør med sigende 500 amatør anfald. Han var den 2011 amatør verdensmester og en repræsentant for Ukraine i 2012 Olympiske Lege.

 

Dette vil være hans anden optræden på ShoBox. I sin debut på Jan. 9, han ødelagde den tidligere ubesejrede Maurice Louishomme, vinde ved tredje runde TKO. Han lyser op Louishomme med højre hånd og uppercuts til kroppen, forskyde ham på flere gange i en ensidig affære, som blev stoppet ved 0:24 i tredje runde.

 

Aggressive, offensiv-minded Khytrov har kæmpet alt 27 runder i ni starter, et gennemsnit på tre runder en kamp - og det omfatter hans karriere-bedste ottende runde TKO løbet altid-hårde puertoricanske Jorge Melendez marts 6.

 

"Ievgen [udtalt Yev-gin, med en hård G] er så fan-venlige en fighter, som du finder, aldrig tager et tilbageskridt, ser ud til at gøre ondt sin modstander med hvert slag,'Farhood sagde. “After nine fights, han viser alle tegn på, at han vil være en titel udfordrer i en år-til-18 måneder. Hans seneste, et stop i løbet af Jorge Melendez, var et modigt skridt at tage på en farlig og erfaren modstander, og han tog ham ud, brød ham ned. Hvad siger det mig?"

 

En af de øverste perspektiver i boksning, 5-fods-11, 26-årige Khytrov er flyttet på et langt hurtigere tempo end de fleste andre perspektiver på dette tidspunkt af deres karriere. Han fik sin professionelle debut i en alder 25 i december 2013 og kæmpede seks gange i 2014. Dette er hans tredje kamp 2015. Alle hans kampe har været i USA.

Khytrov, der flyttede til Brooklyn kort efter 2012 OL, er ivrig for April 10 at ankomme. "Jeg er meget spændt på at vende tilbage til ringen på April 10, især bliver, at kampen er i min vedtaget hjem for Brooklyn,'' Sagde han.
