LAS VEGAS – (April 15, 2015) – Mer enn 200 accredited press members from around the world descended upon Mayweather Boxing Club for Tirsdag 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, Mai 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® and SHOWTIME PPV® begynner på9:00 pm. OG/ 6:00 pm. PT.

 

Several dozen television camera crews, avis spaltister, boksing forfattere, radio kringkastere, 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, inkludert via satellitt feed, YouTube og sosiale 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, trener Floyd Mayweather Sr. and unbeaten WBC Super Bantamweight Champion Leo Santa Cruz, who will fight in the top pay-per-view undercard bout on Mai 2, sa Tirsdag:

 

FLOYD Mayweather, 11-Tid 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. pressekonferanse).

 

“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 bantamvekt 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 gir 100 percent in training and in the ring. I always want to put on a great fight for the fans.”


LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO i Mayweather Kampanjer

 

“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 Mai 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 veldig spent. 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 Mai 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 Mai 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. holdt en media trening 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, i StubHub Center i Carson, Calif., leve på SHOWTIME(10 pm. OG/7 pm. PT).

 

I hovedturneringen av SHOWTIME Championship Boxingdouble, Meksikanske super Chavez, Jr. (48-1-1, 32 KOs) meets dangerous brawler Andrzej Fonfara (26-3, 15 KOs) i en 12-runde lett tungvekt bout.

 

I 10-runde co-feature, topp 10 ranked junior welterweight contender Amir jeg (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, uten tvil den største meksikanske fighter gjennom tidene, gjorde en opptreden under sønnens trening for å vise sin støtte og tilby oppmuntrende ord.

 

Her er hva Chavez Jr., Julio Cesar Chavez and Joe Goossen (trener) hadde å si Fredag ved 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 tøff.

 

“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’ Trener

“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.”

TAKES ON AN OPPONENT TO BE DETERMINED

LAS VEGAS (April 10, 2015) – As Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao fight night approaches, Mayweather Kampanjer announced today that undefeated Mexican superstar and current WBC Super Bantamweight World Champion Lion “Jordskjelv” 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.

 

Mayweather vs. Pacquiao takes place Lørdag, Mai 2 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena and will be co-produced and co-distributed live by HBO Pay-Per-View® and SHOWTIME PPV® begynner på 9:00 pm. OG/6:00 pm. PT.

“I’m extremely excited to put one of the most popular and exciting Mexican fighters in the world on the pay-per-view undercard of this historic event on Cinco De Mayo weekend,” Said Mayweather, president of Mayweather Promotions. “I’m all about giving my loyal fans what they want. 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,” sa 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 Mai 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. Dess, 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 profesjonelle kamper.

 

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 “Sweet” Pearson (11-0, 9 KOs) will square off against tough brawler Sa El Harrak (12-2-2, 7 KOs) i en 10-runde bout.

 

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

 

Mer, 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 Mai 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 i Mayweather Kampanjer. “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 Mai 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 he won his super bantamweight title, which he now holds. Born in Huetamo, Michoaca de Ocampo, Mexico but fighting out of Los Angeles, Santa Cruz looks to entertain the fans at MGM Grand on Mai 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 Mai 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 kjemper ut av Las Vegas, “The Beast” hopes to make it 10 knockouts i 10 tries when he enters the ring onMai 2.

Her er hva jagerfly hadde å si før torsdagens innveiing:

 

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, også. Jeg kan være aggressiv, 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 meg, 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 må vinne. 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. Nå, 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.

 

“Personally, 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. Så langt, 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) kamper. 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.”

UNDEFEATED 140-POUND CONTENDER AMIR IMAM TO FACE WALTER CASTILLO IN CHAVEZ-FONFARA CO-FEATURE APRIL 18 ON SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING®

Legg igjen en kommentar

Lørdag, April 18, LIVE på SHOWTIME® (10 pm. OG/7 pm. PT)

From StubHub Center In Carson, Calif.

NEW YORK (April 8, 2015) – Topp 10 ranked super lightweight contender Amir jeg (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) in the 10-round co-feature of SHOWTIME Championship Boxing på Lørdag, April 18, LIVE on SHOWTIME (10 pm. OG/7 pm. PT)

 

In the main event from StubHub Center i Carson, Calif., Meksikanske superstjerne Julio Cesar Chavez(48-1-1, 32 KOs) faces exciting brawler Andrzej Fonfara (26-3, 15 KOs), of Chicago by way of Poland, i en 12-runde lett tungvekt bout.

 

En av boksing raskest stigende prospekter, 24-åringen Imam har slått ut 14 av hans 16 professional opponents since turning pro in 2011. The Albany, N.Y., native is coming off a fifth-round TKO of Fidel Maldonado Jr., in a brawl on Jan. 17 on SHOWTIME that featured five total knockdowns. Jeg har, currently ranked No. 4 in the WBA and No. 7 i WBC, touched the canvas for the first time in his career but bounced back and relied on his power to floor Maldonado a total of four times.

 

“I know Walter is a tough fighter, he comes forward and throws a lot of punches,” Imam sa. “But I will figure him out quickly once I get inside the ring. I’m working on a lot of different things for this training camp, lots of tricky moves that are going to excite the fans. It’s great to fight outdoors at StubHub Center and to showcase my talents on SHOWTIME. I’m here to entertain and prove I’m ready for that title shot.”

 

Slott (25-2, 18 KOs), Managua, Nicaragua, has won nine straight and KO’d six of his last seven opponents. The 26-year-old has fought mostly in Nicaragua and the only blemishes on his record are a split-decision loss in his pro debut and a controversial 2008 split decision on the road against former world champ Vicente Mosquera i Panama. Slott, who has knocked out his last four opponents inside of four rounds, will make his second start in the U.S. after winning his American debut via first round TKO last October.

 

“Jeg er veldig begeistret for denne kampen. I’ve been training hard for months now and can’t wait for the bell to ring,” Castillo said. “Where I’m from we have a history of great warriors like Alexis Arguello and Rosendo Alvarez and on April 18 I’m looking to moving one step closer to adding my name to that list. Imam may be undefeated but I’m ready for a war.”

Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr. & His Legendary Father In Training Camp, Preparing For His SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING Debut on Saturday, April 18, leve 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-vinnende serien ALL ACCESS 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, leve på SHOWTIME (10 pm. OG/ 7 pm. PT) fra StubHub Center i Carson, Calif.

 

ALL ACCESS: Chavez premierer Fredag, April 10, umiddelbart etter live ShoBox: Den nye generasjonen tripleheader at 10 pm. OG/PT.

 

ALL ACCESS: 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, ALL ACCESSuncovers 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 ALL ACCESS 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.

 

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

Fredag, April 10 Ved 10 pm. OG/PT; Live på SHOWTIME®

NEW YORK (April 2, 2015) - Brooklyn-innfødte, ubeseiret Frank "Notorious" Galarza (16-0-2, 10 KOs) tilbake til ringen for å kjempe Belgias Sheldon "The Closer" Moore (13-2-1, 9 KOs) i en åtte-runde super weltervekt bout taktrekket ShoBox: Den nye generasjonen tripleheader på Fredag, April 10 fra Aviator Sport og Events Center i Brooklyn, N.Y., leve på SHOWTIME (10 pm. OG/PT, forsinket på vestkysten).

 

Galarza, regnes av mange som "The Brooklyn Rocky," fortsetter å gjøre opp for tapt tid. Hans sjokkerende andre-runde knockout seier over favoriserte John Thompson på sin ShoBox: Den nye generasjonendebut, was one of the most memorable knockouts of the year. Galarza has been on a tear since.

 

"Galarza var et tilfeldig funn ved ShoBox,'' Erkjent boksing historiker og ShoBox ekspert analytiker Steve Farhood. "Siden han opprørt Thompson, han har vunnet fire ganger, og så bedre hver gang. Nivået på sin motstand ikke tillater ham å bli kalt en kandidat ennå, men han har gjort store fremskritt. Jeg vil tro på alder 29 han ville prøve å gjøre dette til et gjennombruddsår for ham. "

 

Den Galarza-Moore bout er en av tre planlagte åtte allsidige på en telecast som har en distinkt Brooklyn smak til det. Ubeseiret power-punching mellomvekt Ievgen "Den ukrainske Lion" Khytrov (9-0, 9 KOs) og stall, blue-chip super mellomvekt prospektet Sergiy "The Tekniker" Derevyanchenko (4-0, 3 KOs / World Series of Boxing: 23-1, 7 KOs) også bor i Brooklyn.

For Galarza, hvem har snikende opp på verdensrankingen, den siste økningen kunne ikke kommet på et bedre tidspunkt. En fysisk sterk, aggressive boxer-puncher, Galarza fikk en sen start i boksing og hadde bare 11 amatør kamper.

 

"Tiden for meg er definitivt nå,'' Sa han. "Min første ShoBox kjempe sette plattformen for meg. Jeg hadde ikke bare vinne en kamp som absolutt ingen trodde jeg kunne, Jeg vant det i stor stil. Jeg laget en uttalelse. Jeg har fortsatt å vokse, og føler jeg har blitt bedre siden den kampen. Men jeg er her for å vise folk hva jeg alt om, fortsette å trene veldig hardt og bare ta det litt etter litt, en kamp om gangen.

 

"Det er spennende å kjempe i den tv-main event i min bakgård. Jeg har aldri vært mer motivert for en kamp. Jeg ønsker å takke SHOWTIME for å gi meg en mulighet til å kjempe videre ShoBox.''

 

Stil-messig, Galarza mener dette er en god matchup for ham. "Moore ser fysisk stor og sterk, tøff og sulten, og kommer til å kjempe,'' Sa han. "Han er aggressiv og det er den beste delen om det - det skal gjøre for en flott kamp. Jeg kan være aggressiv, også. Jeg vet at han kommer til å kjempe og alle vet jeg ikke beveger seg bakover, så jeg forventer fyrverkeri.

 

"Jeg kommer til å kjempe hver gang, spesielt på SHOWTIME, på ShoBox der de gir deg motstandere av god kaliber som forventes å sette på et show, og forventes å gjøre en god kamp.

 

"Det er i Brooklyn, min hjemby, og jeg ønsker å underholde folket. Dette er mitt show, min hjemkomst, og jeg vil forsvare min hjemmebane. Jeg har en jobb å gjøre på April 10, men etter at, de store navnene i divisjonen kommer til å bli tvunget til å forholde seg til meg. Jeg er 29 og legging alt på linjen. ''

 

I sin nyeste ShoBox utseende, Galarza vant en enstemmig åtte-runde avgjørelse i løpet av tidligere ubeseiret Sebastien Bouchard (8-0 går i) mai 16, 2014, av resultatet av 78-73 og 77-74 to ganger til tross for å ha et poeng trukket for en lav slag i siste runde.

 

Galarza motstander, 27-år gamle Moore, gjør sitt ShoBox debut og fjerde start i USA hvor han er 1-1-1. Han siste dukket opp i US-. i juni 2012.

"Dette er en stor mulighet for meg og min karriere, hendene ned dette er den største kampen i mitt liv,"Moore sa. "Det er et must-win kamp for meg. Jeg har sett noen av Galarza er kamper, og jeg er helt sikker på at jeg har det som trengs for å uroe ham i hans bakgård. Dette er en drøm som går i oppfyllelse for meg, kjemper på nasjonal TV, og jeg har tenkt på å vise boksing verden at jeg hører på elitenivå i denne divisjonen.

"Min stil er definitivt aggressiv. Jeg liker å gå ned min motstander. Galarza har gode bevegelser og god rekkevidde. Men denne kampen vil være den første kampen hvor jeg ikke trenger å jobbe på siden under forberedelse. Jeg er 100 prosent dedikert til sporten og satt til å gå den 10. april "

 

5-fot-10 Moore har vunnet sine to siste kamper, den siste på en første-runde knockout i løpet Janos Varga siste Desember. 20 i Belgia. Akkurat som Galarza, han fikk en sen start i boksing og hadde en begrenset amatør karriere (27 endene). Han gjorde kickboksing da han var 15, men hadde ikke sin første amatør kamp frem til fylte 19.

 

Khytrov (uttales HE-kostnader) var en fenomenal amatør med velig 500 amatør bouts. Han var den 2011 amatør verdensmester og en representant for Ukraina i 2012 OL.

 

Dette vil være hans andre opptreden på ShoBox. I sin debut på Jan. 9, han ødela den tidligere ubeseiret Maurice Louishomme, vinner av tredje runde TKO. Han lyste opp Louishomme med venstre hånd og uppercuts til kroppen, svimlende ham ved flere anledninger i en ensidig affære som ble stoppet på 0:24 i tredje runde.

 

Aggressiv, offensive-minded Khytrov har kjempet totalt 27 runder i ni starter, et gjennomsnitt på tre runder en kamp - og det inkluderer hans karriere-beste åttende runde TKO over alltid å-tøff puertoricanske Jorge Melendez mars 6.

 

"Ievgen [uttales YEV-gin, med en hard G] er så fan-vennlig en fighter som du finner, tar aldri en baklengs skritt, ser ut til å skade sin motstander med hvert eneste slag,'' Farhood sa. “After nine fights, han viser alle tegn på at han vil være en tittel utfordrer i et år-til-18 måneder. Hans siste, en stans i løpet av Jorge Melendez, var et dristig trekk å ta på en farlig og erfaren motstander og han tok ham ut, brøt ham ned. Hva som forteller meg?"

 

En av de beste utsiktene i boksing, 5-fot-11, 26-år gamle Khytrov har blitt flyttet på et mye raskere tempo enn de fleste andre prospekter på dette stadiet av karrieren. Han gjorde sin profesjonelle debut i en alder 25 i desember 2013 og kjempet seks ganger i 2014. Dette er hans tredje kamp av 2015. Alle hans kamper har vært i USA.

Khytrov, som flyttet til Brooklyn kort tid etter 2012 OL, er ivrige etter April 10 å ankomme. "Jeg er veldig glade for å være tilbake til ringen på April 10, spesielt er at kampen er i min adopterte hjem fra Brooklyn,'' Sa han. "Jeg ønsker å takke mine arrangører DiBella Underholdning og Fight Kampanjer Inc. og min leder Al Haymon for denne muligheten til å igjen vise frem mine ferdigheter på ShoBox.

"Jeg forventer en tøff kamp ut av Coley, som, som meg selv, har aldri blitt slått som en profesjonell. Vi visste at 2015 skulle bli et stort år for meg selv og min karriere, og jeg lover enda en spektakulær ytelse på April 10 som vi fortsetter å flytte opp i rekkene av min divisjon. "
