Aquí está o que os participantes tiñan que dicir Martes:
LEO SANTA CRUZ
“O meu soño é ser a próxima gran cousa no boxeo. Imos traballar duro todos os días no ximnasio, aprender dos nosos erros e mellorar para que eu poida ser o mellor loitador que hai. Coa axuda dos afeccionados e dos medios creo que podo logralo.
“Ten grandes habilidades, grandes golpes e móvese moi ben. Vai ser unha loita dura para min pero vou traballar moito para defender o meu cinto.
“Vexo a Frampton como alguén que intenta vir e quitarlle todo o que traballei duro. Non podo deixar que isto suceda. Vou facer o que teño que facer para conseguir a vitoria.
“É un loitador moi hábil. Ten un gran poder e creo que vai ser unha loita emocionante. Estes son os tipos cos que quero loitar. Dáme aínda máis motivación para entrar no ximnasio e adestrar duro.
“Coñezo a Mikey García desde os tempos dos afeccionados e as nosas familias pelexaron entre elas. Incluso adestrai con Robert García antes. Ver a outro gran loitador mexicano ir a Nova York é moi emocionante. Estou moi feliz por el. É un gran rapaz e un gran loitador.
“Creo que Frampton manterá o seu poder nas clases de peso. Xa non podía gañar 122 libras e dixo que esta vez será aínda máis forte. Iso é bo. Iso é o que quero. Quero que se sinta ben, así que será unha loita dura e entretida.
“Non podo deixar que veña aos Estados Unidos. e conseguir esta vitoria. Imos saír alí e ver se pode sacar o mellor de min. Vou estar preparado ao cen por cento.
“Estou cómodo con 126 libras. Quero conseguir esta vitoria contra Carl Frampton e despois unirme contra Gary Russell Jr., Lee Selby ou calquera dos campións. Cando o meu corpo estea listo subiremos de peso para buscar outro título mundial.
“Cando comecei a boxear o único que pensei foi ser campión do mundo unha vez. Despois, despois de chegar alí, comecei a impulsar os meus obxectivos. Se sigo aprendendo e mellorando como loitador, Podería chegar ata 140 libras.
“Estou encantado de loitar en Nova York. Vai ser a miña primeira vez por aí. Estou emocionado de coñecer novos fans. A xente que desexaba que loitase en Nova York poderá verme. Hai xente que non me coñece e esta a miña oportunidade de ser impresionante e darlles un espectáculo.”
Mikey GARCIA
“Son un loitador completo. Podo axustarme a case calquera estilo. Recibo moitos sparrings diversos para poder axustarme a todo o que poida aportar Rojas. O campo de adestramento foi moi ben e creo que vai ser unha boa noite para min.
“Xa vin antes a Rojas. Vino cando era campión. É un bo loitador con moita experiencia. Definitivamente pode boxear e ten unha boa man dereita. Perdeu o seu título ante un gran campión. É moi hábil e con experiencia.
“Os dous somos boxeadores e adoitamos intentar traballar a distancia. Esta vez quizais teña que buscar un pouco máis a loita e aplicar algo de presión. Se tenta boxear, atopareino. Creo que o meu poder acabará por ser a diferenza e vouno romper.
“Non creo que haxa ferruxe do anel porque nunca estiven fóra do ring. Estiven todo o tempo no ximnasio, sparring e adestramento. Eu espallaría 10 ou 12 rounds, só para facelo. Non porque tivera unha pelexa, pero só para manterme activo. Sei que parece moito tempo, pero realmente non o vexo. Sinto que fora seis meses.
“Quero loitar contra 135 e loitar por un título alí. Vou ver como se sente o meu corpo despois desta loita, pero ese é o plan ata agora. Non miramos máis alá de Elio. Definitivamente quero volver ao ring pronto se todo vai ben.
“Non me arrepinto. Teño que gozar máis do que tiven na última 10 anos. Cando estás no boxeo, é un deporte durante todo o ano. Non tes tempo para ti, para a túa familia ou amigos. Perdes moito. No meu tempo aprendín moito sobre boxeo e moito máis.
“Isto acabará sendo un campo de adestramento de sete semanas, pero aínda antes estiven no ximnasio. Non me sinto diferente. Síntome ao cen por cento. O meu corpo está ben descansado o que me fai máis fame e máis motivado.
“Loitei en Nova York antes e sempre foi un público xenial e moi solidario. Estiven no Barclays Center por primeira vez en xuño 25 para Thurman-Porter e foi unha gran area. Tiña unha gran enerxía e non podo esperar para loitar alí. Non podo esperar para loitar no Barclays.
“É xenial estar no ximnasio con todos estes diferentes tipos de loitadores que adestra o meu irmán. Teño moito combate moi intenso. Tiven a oportunidade de aprender realmente dos diferentes estilos e definitivamente axúdame.”
IVAN REDKACH
“Esta é unha loita excelente para min. Achégome a un título e vou estar preparado Xullo 30.
“Teño un plan para esta loita. Verás no ring. Vou facer desta loita emocionante.
“A loita polo título é a miña motivación, pero o meu centro céntrase plenamente Xullo 30. Todo o que fixen é levar a unha loita polo título mundial.
“Sei que o meu opoñente é hábil e moi rápido. É un bo boxeador pero veremos o que trae ao ring.
“Este é o meu primeiro campamento con Leo Santa Cruz e o seu equipo e vai moi ben. Síntome moi preparado para loitar.”
ANTONIO SANTA CRUZ, Irmán de Leo & Adestrador
“Este campamento séntese moi preto do mesmo que de costume. Meu pai (Jose) adoita ser quen nos di que facer. Estou no ring con Leo pero el segue aí. Está enfermo pero aínda vai ao ximnasio. Quere estar alí para Leo.
“Frampton é un bo loitador. Vai darlle unha boa loita ao meu irmán. Os rapaces baixos son máis difíciles para Leo, así que estamos a asegurarnos de ter combate con loitadores de todas as alturas. Frampton non será difícil de entrar pero a súa altura pode supoñer un problema.
“É un pouco máis de presión sobre min. Estou tentando mostrar ao meu pai que podo aprender e axudar a Leo a estar no seu mellor momento. Creo que vai pasar unha gran noite.”
JOSE SANTA CRUZ, O pai de Leo & Adestrador
“Eu me sinto ben. Agora mesmo vou ao ximnasio todos os días. Leo vese ben no ring e adestra moi ben.
“Pouco a pouco Antonio vai aprendendo e ata eu sigo aprendendo. Os dous estamos mellorando como adestradores e ese é o noso obxectivo, ser xenial. Sinto o amor dos meus fillos e tamén os quero moito. Estou orgulloso deles e estou orgulloso de que sexan os meus fillos.
“Leo está moi tranquilo. Non creo que Leo se vaia afectar viaxar a Nova York. Aínda que non teña a maioría dos seguidores, Non creo que lle afecte.
“Nunca se sabe como vai ser a noite de loita. Podes prepararte no ximnasio, pero ás veces, unha vez que esteas no ring, unha pelexa pode complicarse.
“Aínda que non podo chegar a Nova York, Vou ver a loita. Aínda que sexa cun ollo aberto, Vou ver.”
ROBERT GARCIA, Irmán de Mikey & Adestrador
“Mikey definitivamente quere gañar un título en 135 libras. Hai bos campións por aí, pero non necesariamente un gran nome. Finalmente, Mikey querería subir ata 140 libras onde creo que hai moitas pelexas emocionantes que se poderían facer.
“Elio é un loitador que estivo fóra por un tempo e é un ex campión do mundo. Tamén está tentando volver e facer unha declaración. Temos que estar preparados para que o rival estea no máis alto do seu xogo.
“Agora que ten unha cita e co adestramento e o sparring, Mikey estivo moi ben. Hai tempo. Podemos ver un pouco de ferruxe, un pouco de axuste ao tempo. Pero como estivo no ximnasio, contra loitadores de primeira calidade, estivo tan ben que non me estrañaría que fixera unha das súas mellores actuacións.”

Aquí está o que os participantes tiñan que dicir Xoves:
CARL Frampton
“Quero estar en loitas emocionantes. A partir de aquí na miña carreira, Quero ser grande. Quen mellor para enfrontarse que Leo Santa Cruz? Esta é unha oportunidade de deixar o meu nome na historia e converterse nun campión do mundo de dous pesos de Irlanda.
“Levo escoitando a Barry McGuigan desde que me convertín en profesional. Só quería empaparlo todo coma unha esponxa. Ten moitos coñecementos e leva moitos anos. Só teño que estar preto del e aprender. Shane fai un traballo incrible ensinándome, e entre os dous, Sinto que me estou beneficiando todos os días.
“É moi agradable estar aquí en Brooklyn, é un barrio encantador e é moi bo estar aquí en Nova York. Hai moitos afeccionados ao boxeo en Nova York e realmente creo que esta é a cidade número un para o boxeo.
“Traemos moitos rapaces de casa, e tamén espero que os irlandeses-americanos coñezan o meu nome, e todos en Brooklyn tamén. Espero sobre 1,500 fans viaxeiros de Belfast. Creo que terei máis apoio que Santa Cruz.
“Esta loita é enorme para min porque realmente quero crear un legado. Sei como fala a xente, e creo que a xente estará falando disto durante moito tempo. Quero que a xente se lembre de min como un gran loitador, iso é todo.
“Adestro moi duro para cada loita. Nin menos nin máis para Santa Cruz. Agardamos unha loita moi dura e con moita acción.
“A última vez que fun un desfavorecido foi o campionato irlandés, cando era afeccionado. Poderías terme 11:2, Eu era un enorme desvalido. Deixeino bastante cedo, entón a última vez que fun un desfavorecido, moita xente que me coñecía gañou moitos cartos. Esta vez vai ser o mesmo resultado.
“Movéndose para 126 libras foi definitivamente a decisión correcta para min. Son un gran golpeador, pero perdín poder 122 libras. Vou pegar máis e estar no meu mellor momento.
“Estou xusto na porta de todo. Estou moi emocionado pola noite de loita, vai ser unha experiencia verdadeiramente especial.
“É importante ser recoñecido nos Estados Unidos. Aquí é onde todos os grandes loitadores de todo o mundo acaban loitando, e quero moito que me recoñezan como un gran loitador.”
Paulie Malignaggi
“Creo que a miña loita con Bracero é un interesante choque de estilos. Temos estilos similares no que nos gusta boxear e contraatacar pero tamén estamos moi familiarizados. Estou seguro de que terá algo na manga para min.
“Facer este tipo de loita en todo Brooklyn é xenial para os fans. Os dous temos os nosos propios seguidores, polo que debería crear un ambiente eléctrico no Barclays Center.
“O evento principal vai ser unha gran loita. Cando miras os estilos e os pedigrees de ambos homes, é difícil prever o que vai pasar. Os dous mozos teñen estilos emocionantes, así que aposto a que os fans teñan o valor do seu diñeiro.”
Barry McGuigan, Director de Frampton, O ex Campión do Mundo & Hall of Famer
“Despois de que Carl derrotara a Scott Quigg e converteuse nun campión unificado en 122 libras, cremos que todas as loitas emocionantes desa división pasaron. Queremos participar en loitas emocionantes.
“A loita de Quigg non foi tan emocionante como quixeramos, pero sabiamos que ía ser así. Sabiamos que chegaría tarde na pelexa e tiñamos ben planificadas as nosas tácticas. Esta vai ser unha loita moito mellor porque Santa Cruz é valente e arrisca. Tamén ten habilidades de boxeo infravaloradas.
“Shane está facendo de Carl un mellor loitador cada día. Cada día que non melloras é un día que perdeches. Carl está na mellor forma física da súa carreira e teremos un plan A, B e C para esta loita.
“Santa Cruz é un gran loitador. É discreto, humilde e non falou lixo. Esta será a loita máis dura de Carl. Séntese moi ben estar implicado axudando a Carl a alcanzar o seu máximo potencial, é a segunda mellor cousa para estar ti mesmo no ring.
“Cremos 100 por cento na capacidade de Frampton para gañar esta loita e que terá éxito na noite da loita.
“Hai grandes pelexas para Carl. Estamos 100 por cento comprometido Xullo 30 pero hai moitos grandes combates na división de peso pluma. Teremos moito apoio na noite de loita e non teño dúbida de que haberá unha gran multitude irlandesa alí para apoiar a Carl.”
Shane McGuigan, Instrutor de Frampton
“Leo Santa Cruz está invicto e non hai ningunha debilidade desde a miña perspectiva. É un loitador fenomenal, pero non creo que loitara contra un loitador do calibre de Carl Frampton, como un loitador completo.
“Cando coñece a alguén que é tan bo, ou na miña opinión, mellor ca el, veremos de que está feito. Creo que vai facer unha das loitas máis emocionantes do ano.
“Non estaría asumindo esta loita porque non tiña moita confianza en Carl, aínda que está entrando como o desfavorecido. Creo que Santa Cruz nunca sentiu o poder que trae Carl antes. Creo que Carl pode gañarlle comodamente se segue preparándose ben, e despois entra no ring e fai o que é capaz de facer.
“Estamos rematando o campamento agora e asegurándonos 100 por cento lido. Temos que estar 100 por cento para loitar contra Leo Santa Cruz.
“Carl é moi pesado. É extremadamente hábil, un verdadeiro todoterreno. Realmente vive a vida, e iso ponme doado. A forma en que adestra, como come, como dorme: tómao en serio e coida de si.
“A transición que chegou a Nova York para rematar o campo de adestramento foi xenial. Poderiamos ter agardado ata máis preto da noite de loita, pero queremos que cada por cento sexa a nosa vantaxe.
“Aínda estamos aclimatando á calor, o jet lag non é problema e estaremos preparados na noite de loita.
“Esta loita é historia en proceso. É unha loita que realmente pode poñer a Carl no mapa. Sempre é unha gran oportunidade cando estás loitando por un título, contra alguén do calibre de Santa Cruz.”

UNDEFEATED AMERICAN HEAVYWEIGHT JARRELL MILLER TO FACE TOUGH VETERAN FRED KASSI ON FRIDAY, Agosto. 19 IN MAIN EVENT OF SHOBOX: A NOVA XERACIÓN

Tripleheader from Rhinos Stadium in Rochester, N.I.. Os aires viven en 10 p.m. E/PT na canle Showtime®

Nova York (Xuño 30, 2016) – Undefeated heavyweight Jarrell Miller claims he’s America’s top heavyweight prospect. “Big Baby” will get a chance to back up his boast when he faces his toughest test to date in veteran Fred Gato no evento principal de ShoBox: A Nova Xeración en Venres, Agosto. 19.

 

The confident and hard-hitting Miller (17-0-1, 15 Kos) and the durable and vastly experienced Kassi (18-5-1, 10 Kos) will headline a tripleheader live on ALTURA DE COMEZAR en 10 p.m. E/PT from the outdoor soccer venue Rhinos Stadium in Rochester, N.I..

 

Two undefeated young bantamweight prospects will square off in theShoBox co-feature as world-ranked Nikolay Potapov (14-0-1, 6 Kos) e Antonio Nieves (16-0-1, 8 Kos) meet in a 10-round bantamweight bout.

 

Na loita de a cerimonia de apertura, undefeated welterweight knockout artist Bakhtiyar Eyubov (10-0, 10 Kos) will face battle-tested veteran Karim Mayfield (19-3-1, 11 Kos) in a 10-round match.

 

Tickets for the event presented by Salita Promotions go on sale este venres en Mediodía ET e están dispoñibles en http://www.rhinossoccer.com/e http://www.etix.com

 

“This is an amazing opportunity. I’m in the main event going against a tough opponent, and he’s definitely game to fight,” Miller said. “I’m ready to put his lights out like I do everybody else. I know he’s durable and a little older than me. He’s a tough guy and he can take a beating. Moi lonxe, he’s only been stopped once. I’ll be the second.

 

“I’m going back to basics in this camp. I’m an advanced fighter, but there are a couple of things I’ve wanted to work on. It’s easy for heavyweights to rely on power and forget about technique. You see what happened to Dominic Breazeale against Anthony Joshua? His power didn’t mean jack because there was no technique behind it. I want to be the kind of fighter who puts his technique first and power last.”

 

“I approach Jarrell like all young fighters,” Kassi said. “I’m a seasoned pro that has fought top-tier opponents. Jarrell will have to bring his ‘A game’ against me. He’s got size and power, but it’s nothing I haven’t seen. I’m tired of getting robbed by judges like in El Paso (against Chris Arreola), and in Alabama (against Dominic Breazeale). That should have been me fighting Anthony Joshua in The O2. Against (Hughie) Furia, the cut saved him. Another round or two and he would have been done. Then we heard what we always hear, ‘oh, Fury had a bad night, so did Breazeale, so did Arreola.’ They all seem to have ‘bad’ nights when I’m in the other corner. I’m hoping to actually get some credit when Miller has a ‘bad’ night too. I’m a heavyweight boxer, that’s boxer underlined. I move my feet, I use angles, I hit and don’t get hit. That’s boxing and it’s my art. Boxing fans are going to have a great time watching me dismantle a giant.”

 

“I am very happy to be back on SHOWTIME fighting the best opponent of my career,” Eyubov said. “I know this will be my hardest fight to date and that’s what motivates me. I am grateful that I am getting an opportunity to prove myself and I want to show that I am ready for the best fighters in the world. I am ready for the boxing world to know my name. Agosto 19, Karim Mayfield, here I come.”

 

“This will be a special event at Rochester Rhinos soccer stadium. We have America’s brightest heavyweight contender in Jarrell ‘Big Baby’ Miller and a knockout sensation out of Brooklyn by way of Kazakhstan in Bakhtiyar ‘Bakha’ Eyubov,” promoter Palabras dmitriy dito. “This show has all the ingredients to be one of the most talked about boxing events of the summer, and we think Miller has all the skills and charisma to break through in the heavyweight division. I am grateful to SHOWTIME and Rhinos Stadium that boxing fans will witness talented fighters in their toughest fights to date. I look forward to an explosive night of boxing.”

 

“Wendy and I are so excited to be hosting both SHOWTIME and the fighting debut of Jarrell ‘Big Baby’ Miller at Rhinos Stadium,", Dixo Wendy e David Dworkin, owners of the Rochester Rhinos soccer stadium. "Agosto 19 will be a great opportunity to showcase our stadium and the City of Rochester to a nationwide audience.”

 

The menacing Miller, a 6-foot-4 Brooklyn, N.I.. nativo, is a consensus top 15 heavyweight – he’s ranked No. 8 na WBO, Non. 9 in the WBA and No. 14 na IBF. The 27-year-old former professional kickboxer has knocked out six consecutive opponents as he’s risen through the rankings as one of America’s top heavyweight hopes. Prior to Miller’s knockout of Nick Guivas en Maio 27, his previous two fights were onShoBox – a third round destruction of Akhror Muralimov last October and a knockout of Donovan Dennis in January in which he was pushed to the seventh round for the first time.

 

Kassi has been in with some of the most recognizable names in the heavyweight division, Incluíndo Amir Mansour, Dominic Breazeale e Hughie Fury. The 36-year-old fought to a disputed majority draw with three-time world title challenger Chris Arreola last July on PBC on CBS in which most ringside observers, Incluíndo ShoBox analista Steve Farhood, had Kassi winning by a wide margin. The New Orleans resident has been stopped just once – in 2014 by Mansour – and stands as an excellent barometer for Miller’s progression as a legitimate contender.

 

The fast-rising Potapov, of Potolsk, Rusia, is ranked in the top 15 in three of the four sanctioning bodies (Non. 7 WBO, Non. 13 IBF, Non. 14 WBA) after just 15 loitas profesionais. A former amateur standout with over 200 loitas, the 25-year-old Potapov has already gone at least 10 rounds seven times since turning professional in 2010. The only blemish on his record is a draw with undefeated prospect Stephon novo na súa última loita en Abril 15 en ShoBox.

 

Coincidently, the only blemish on Antonio Nieves’ record is a 2015 draw with Stephon Young. The 29-year-old is coming off his first 10-round performance, a unanimous decision over then once-beaten Oscar Mojica en xuño 18. The Cleveland, Ohio native will face his toughest opponent to date in fellow unbeaten Potapov in the matchup of unbeaten bantamweights.

 

The Brooklyn-based Eyubov has passed every test he’s faced, and knocked out all of his opponents in the process. The 29-year-old native of Kazakhstan is coming off an impressive third-round stoppage of veteran Jared Robinson last January on ShoBox. Eyubov will step up his level of opposition when he faces Karim Mayfield, a 35-year-old veteran who owns wins over Mauricio Herrera e Steve Forbes and has never been stopped in 23 loitas.

BROOKLYN (Xuño 28, 2016)—Undefeated former two-division world champion Mikey Garcia will return to the ring after a two-and-a-half-year layoff on Sábado, Xullo 30 on an exciting night of boxing on ALTURA DE COMEZAR e Showtime EXTREME that is one of the strongest cards ever assembled at Barclays Centro en Brooklyn.

 

Garcia, who won world titles at featherweight and super featherweight, will fight former world champion Elio Rojas in a 10-round bout in the Showtime Championship Boxing co-feature of the Leo Santa Cruz vs. Carl Frampton event presented by Premier Boxing Champions (PBC).

 

No combate inaugural do Showtime Championship Boxing telecast that begins at 9 p.m. E/6 p.m. PT, once-beaten 154-pound contenders Tony Harrison e Sergey Rabchenko will meet in a 12-round IBF Junior Middleweight Eliminator. Harrison and Rabchenko will square off for the No. 2 mandatory challenger spot to IBF titlist Jermall Charlo, who successfully defended his crown on Maio 21, and undefeated contender Julian Williams, who earned the No. 1 mandatory position on Marzo 5, both on SHOWTIME. Harrison vs. Rabchenko is the sixth matchup in 2016 between top 154-pound fighters, a lineup showcasing three world title fights and three title elimination matches in one of boxing’s deepest divisions.

 

The combined record of the six fighters on the SHOWTIME telecast is an impressive 162-4-1 con 113 nocautes.

 

An all-Brooklyn showdown between welterweight technicians Paulie "Magic Man" Malignaggi e Gabriel “Tito” Bracero highlights the undercard action on SHOWTIME BOXING on SHOWTIME EXTREME. The 10-round bout is a matchup between a former two-division world champion, Malignaggi, and a fellow Brooklyn native, Bracero, coming off the biggest win of his career when he knocked out Danny O'Connor outubro do ano pasado.

 

Un choque de 10 xornadas entre lixeiros unha vez vencidos Ivan Redkach e raias Tevin Fazendeiro, un gañador 14 recto, will open the SHOWTIME EXTREME telecast live at 7 p.m. E/PT.

 

O Xullo 30 event at Barclays Center comes on the heels of last Saturday’s potential Fight of the Year thriller between Keith Thurman e Shawn Porter, a back-and-forth slugfest that generated the top grossing live gate and second-highest attended boxing event in venue history.

 

“This is the strongest card from top to bottom that I have promoted at Barclays Center,” said DiBella Entertainment President Lou DiBella. “Every single fight is significant and competitive, and this is a great follow up from the tremendous success that boxing had with Thurman-Porter this past weekend.”

 

“This will be our 19th evento de boxeo, but from top to bottom it’s arguably our best card yet,” said Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment CEO Brett Yormark. “We are excited to welcome undefeated Santa Cruz and Frampton to Brooklyn for the first time, a fight that could rival Barclays Center’s epic Thurman-Porter bout for Fight of the Year. It’s also a pleasure to welcome Brooklyn’s own Paulie Malignaggi back to Barclays Center for the fifth time and to host the return of Mikey Garcia after a two and a half year hiatus. Xullo 30 is going to be another big night for BROOKLYN BOXING.”

 

“We are excited to be part of Mikey Garcia’s return to the ring. Before the layoff, he was a two-division world champion and considered one of the top boxers in the world. We know he is determined to reclaim his place among the elite,", Dixo Stephen Espinoza, Vicepresidente Executivo & Director Xeral, Showtime Sports. “SHOWTIME has distinguished itself by delivering the most compelling matchups and the most important events in boxing all year long. There is no other network as committed to the sport, eo Xullo 30 evento, from top-to-bottom, is a prime example.”

 

Mikey GARCIA vs. ELIO ROJAS

“I expect to pick up right where I left off,” Garcia told SHOWTIME Sports reporter Jim Gray last Saturday on CBS. “I was a world champion, I was undefeated, and I still am. I didn’t leave because I was injured. I think I’ll come back even better. I’m hungrier now than I was before.

 

“I just have to get one fight in. This first fight with Elio (Rojas) will be somewhere between 135 e 140 libras, but I want to fight at 135 and win a title there. I want to win a title there and keep going after champion after champion. Now that all that (uncertainty) is behind me I look forward to the next stage of my career. This next stage of my career will be what people remember me for.”

 

“Mikey Garcia is a great fighter,", dixo Rojas. “I want to thank him for this opportunity. We are both former WBC World Champions and I expect a great fight. Con todo, all of the talk surrounding this fight has been about Mikey’s comeback and his future plans. I am no tune-up. This is also about me coming back and fighting again. He may be looking past me, but I am fully focused on him and securing the victory. I will do whatever I have to do to win, so I can move on and regain my world championship.”

 

Garcia (34-0, 28 Kos), de Ventura, Calif., is 28-years-old and in the prime of his career. Once considered one of the top young boxers pound-for-pound in the world, he will make his first ring appearance since he retained the WBO 130-pound title with a 12-round unanimous decision overJuan Carlos Burgos en Xan. 25, 2014. Garcia, the brother of renowned trainer Robert Garcia, has been victorious by knockout in 10 da súa última 12 fights and holds impressive victories overRoman “Rocky” Martinez, Juan Manuel López, Orlando Salido e Bernabe Concepcion.

 

Rojas (24-2, 14 Kos), of San Francisco de Macoris, República Dominicana, won the WBC featherweight world championship in 2009 with a 12-round unanimous decision over defending titleholder Takahiro Ao en Xapón. The 33-year-old successfully defended the title against Guty Espadas Jr. en 2010, before losing the belt via unanimous decision to Jhonny Gonzalez en abril 2012. Since the loss to Gonzalez, Rojas moved up to lightweight, onde derrotou Robert Osiobe en agosto 2014.

 

TONY HARRISON vs. SERGEY RABCHENKO:

“I’m thrilled to return to the ring on this big stage for my first fight in Brooklyn, and I’m ready to put on a show,"Dixo Harrison. “Fighting for a world title is my dream and I know that I have a challenge in front of me. I’m working hard in camp to get another knockout and to make my mark on the division.”

 

“This is the start of realizing my dream,” Rabchenko said. “America is the Mecca of boxing so it is a huge privilege for me to be asked to fight there. American fans like to see knockouts and I like to knock people out so I think they will like what they see. I think I can build a fan base there. I am hungrier than ever. I have not seen much of Harrison, but I am ready for anyone. People say he is a very good fighter with good power. I’m not worried. I have good power as well and I think I will have too much for him.”

 

Con só 25 anos de idade, Harrison (23-1, 19 Kos) has showed tremendous promise. He manufactured a 10-fight knockout streak from 2013 para 2015 and proved he could recover from a loss when he dominated Cecil McCalla para 10 rounds in October 2015 e deixou Fernando Guerreiro in impressive fashion in March.

 

Fighting out of Belaraus, Rabchenko (27-1, 20 Kos) is looking to put himself squarely into world title contention when he makes his U.S. estrearase no Xullo 30. The 30-year-old is coming off stoppage victories over Walter Calvo en maio 2015 and Miguel Aguilar in February.

 

Showtime EXTREME:

 

PAULIE MALIGNAGGI vs. GABRIEL bracero:

“I feel truly blessed to have yet another opportunity to fight in Brooklyn,", dixo Malignaggi. “I have known Tito a long time and I know he always comes to fight. We will give the Brooklyn fans a great appetizer before the terrific main event later that night in Barclays Center.”

 

“I’m looking to make a statement by winning this fight,” said Bracero. “Paulie and I have been friends since the amateurs and I’m thankful to have this opportunity, but he’s had his run. Now it’s time for me to have mine. This fight is going to change my life.”

 

Un ex-campión do mundo en 140 e 147 libras-, the 35-year-old Malignaggi (35-7, 7 Kos) will return to the ring to fight at Barclays Center for the fifth time. He has faced a slew of big names throughout his career and has been victorious over the likes of Zab Judah, Vyacheslav Senchenko e Pablo Cesar Cano. Nacido e creado no barrio de Bensonhurst de Brooklyn, “The Magic Man” was victorious twice fighting in his birth country of Italy last year after unsuccessfully challenging unbeaten Danny Garcia en agosto.

 

Another Brooklyn-native, Bracero (24-2, 5 Kos) comes off of a sensational one-punch knockout of rival Danny O'Connor in their rematch last October. The 35-year-old owns victories over Dmitry Salita e Pavel Miranda in addition to his first triumph over the previously unbeaten O’Connor in 2011.

 

IVAN REDKACH vs. GRANXERO DE TEVIN:

“I am extremely happy to be back in the ring on a big show in New York,” Redkach said. “There are so many Ukrainian fans in New York and I am thrilled to have their support and will put on a great show for them. I want to thank Leo Santa Cruz and his team for having me in their camp as we both prepare ourselves to put on tremendous performances come Xullo 30."

 

“I couldn’t be more excited about this fight,", dixo Farmer. “This is my Barclays Center debut and it is going to be a spectacular performance. I have called out anyone and everyone in the 130- pound division to no avail, so now I’m moving up to 135 to take on Redkach, one of the most feared punchers in the division. Redkach is an aggressive guy and I know he is coming to fight, but there is no way I leave that ring without my hand being raised. This is a fight where I can and I will make a major statement. I’m willing to fight whoever they put in front of me to inch closer to a world title opportunity and Xullo 30 is another step in that direction. I tip my hat off to Redkach for giving me this fight, but this is my time to shine.”

 

Nacido en Ucraína, pero loitando fóra dos Ánxeles, Redk (19-1-1, 15 Kos) began boxing at the age of six and has put together an impressive career since turning pro in 2009. The 30-year-old owns victories over Tony Luís, Sergey Gulyakevich e Yakubu Amidu. Máis recentemente, Redkach knocked out Erick Daniel Martinez en outubro 2015 and fought to a draw with Luís Cruz en abril.

 

Representing the fighting city of Philadelphia, Labrego (24-1-1, 5 Kos) gañou 14 bouts in a row since losing to unbeaten world champion Jose Pedraza en 2012. The 25-year-old has come on strong in recent years, upsetting previously unbeaten fighters such as Emmanuel Gonzalez, Angel Luna e Camilo Perez. Farmer dominated veteran Gamaliel Diaz in March and will make his Barclays Center debut on Xullo 30.

O 12,718 fans in attendance at Barclays Center in Brooklyn and the viewers across the U.S. watching the first primetime boxing event on CBS since Muhammed Ali-Leon Spinks in 1978 were treated to a slugfest between two of the brightest stars in boxing’s glamour division.

 

Thurman (27-0, 22 Kos) and Porter (26-2-1, 16 Kos) combined to throw over 1200 punches in the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on CBS event, presented by Premier Boxing Champions. The marquee showdown was a story of accuracy vs. activity, as Thurman landed 50 por cento dos seus tiros de enerxía, en comparación con 38 percent for Porter, e 44 por cento dos seus golpes totais en comparación con só 36 percent for the challenger. While Thurman landed at a higher percentage, Porter was the busier fighter, throwing over 100 more punches across 12 rounds.

 

“One Time” and “Showtime” delivered as advertised, with the powerful sharpshooter buckling Porter multiple times, while the swarming and smothering Porter barreled forward to bully Thurman into the ropes. And while there were no knockdowns, the back-and-forth blockbuster never lacked action and culminated in a standing ovation in the second-highest attended boxing event in Barclays Center history.

 

“I want to thank Shawn Porter for a tremendous fight. He’s a great warrior,"Dixo Thurman. “Defense is the key to victory. He smothers his punches a lot and makes it difficult for the judges to score. I was able to rock him with clear, effective blows and I believe that was the difference today.

 

“I would give him a rematch. It was great fight. He was a great opponent. Everyone was saying would he be my toughest opponent to date. I wasn’t able to drop him but I did buckle him a few times.”

The former world champion Porter, a perennial underdog but consummate gentleman, didn’t complain about being on the losing end of his second close decision in a title bout.

 

“We worked hard, Keith is a great champion,” Porter said. “My dad says to keep your head up. I think I won the fight, but I’m satisfied because the competitor came out esta noite.

 

“We need that rematch. I know the fans want that rematch. If he gives me another chance, I’m going to work hard in the ring and leave with his title.”

 

The opening bout of the CBS telecast featured a matchup of undefeated super welterweights as Jarrett Hurd graduated from prospect to legitimate contender in the stacked 154-pound class with a dominating 10th round TKO over Oscar Molina.

 

Hurd (18-0, 12 Kos) got to work early, flooring Molina for the first time in his career in the opening round with a powerful counter right uppercut. The bigger and taller Hurd was the more active fighter from the outset, dismantling the previously unbeaten Mexican Olympian with a supremely effective inside game. Hurd threw nearly 750 punches over 10 rounds, en comparación con só 376 for Molina, conectando en 220 power shots at a nearly 40 percent clip.

 

Hurd put a stamp on his performance in the final round, closing the show by out landing Molina 33-7 in the final round. With Molina taking a brutal beating and seemingly defenseless in the final minute of the final round, Ricky Gonzalez stepped in to halt the contest at 2:02.

 

“This is definitely a big win for my career,” Hurd said. “He was taking a lot of shots, but he knew how to survive. It was a big uppercut that knocked him down in round one. People know from my last fight that I have a great right uppercut. He was hurt a couple of times. I don’t think it was a bad stoppage. Molina is a very tough guy who just kept coming through.

 

“This fight here puts me up with the top contenders in the division. I felt like I could have gone three or four more rounds. I was getting stronger as the fight went on. We’re going right back to the gym so we can get in there again.”

 

Molina (13-1-1, 10 Kos) protested, but barring a stunning knockout he was just seconds away from suffering the first loss of his career via a unanimous decision.

 

“I felt like Hurd was throwing a lot of punches in the tenth round but they weren’t really hurting me,” Molina said. “He was staying busy but he was never really hurting me.

 

“I went low and I had my head down and he caught me with that uppercut in the first round. He got me with a shot I wasn’t expecting but it was definitely a flash knockdown. I wasn’t hurt.

 

“I was supposed to use my footwork a lot more but I ended up smothering my shots. He had an awkward defense with a lot of bending down and I couldn’t get into a rhythm.

 

“This was a big opportunity for me and I felt like I fought a good fight. I’m going to come back stronger. We’re going to work on a lot of things and get back in there.”

Below are quotes from Joshua after Sábado win on SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL:

 

Many thought that Dominic Breazeale wouldn’t be able to stand up to your power and speed, but were you grateful for the opportunity to work a little bit more of your boxing skills?

“Ben, it’s hard because you can see they’re hurt with every shot – well not every shot – but when you start catching them flush, they can feel the shots with these ten ounce gloves on. Así, it’s just a matter of time, but in the process I didn’t want to be receiving any haymakers on the way back.

 

“It’s been tough I had two weeks off after my last fight, and got straight back in the gym so it was tough. I get a nice little break for once and then I can come back with recharged batteries.”

 

We know Deontay Wilder was watching the fight. Have you got a message for him, the WBC Champion?

“Unbelievable inspirational person. He was patient, 30-odd fights [e] got his hands on the WBC [belt]. I’m following suit. I’m making my way into the U.S. with SHOWTIME backing me as well. Así, he watched that.

 

“He can pick up whatever he wants to pick up from that, but it’s so different when you’re in the ring with each other. So one day we’ll get to experience what each other’s about.”

 

Who do you want to fight next?

“Well I think it’s gonna have to be the likes of [Joseph] Parker. I was really looking at Fury… I hope he gets better soon. He hurt his ankle unfortunately, which has postponed it because I was hoping to get that some time in the winter if everything went well July 9th like it didesta noite, but we’re gonna have to reschedule that and in the meantime, we can look at other opponents like Parker, if he’s vacant, or anyone else that the people want.”

 

What do you think that you still need to work on?

“Rest. I need to rest. I’m tired, I’m working hard and as I said, now i can get

“I’m excited to feel the energy in the arena. We’re recovered and we’re ready. We did what we needed to so that we’re ready forSábado noite.
“As I think about this fight, these are dreams coming true for me. Sometimes I feel like I’m living a dream. I think about how I was raised by Ben Getty to this moment. Ben used to say that my moment was ‘right around the corner,’ and now it’s here. He was a wise man and he knew what he was talking about.
“This is a great fight. This is what the boxing fans want to see. I truly believe you are looking at two of the best welterweights in the world.
“I’m here as an entertainer. I’m here for the love of the sport. The fans want to see these kinds of fights. It’s obvious in the welterweight division that we are the two most exciting and devastating fighters in the division.
“Everybody kept talking about the sparring video, so I just decided to put it out. Sparring is sparring and fighting is fighting. This fight will be judged and this time I’ll have eight-ounce gloves on.
“It’s always been my dream to be the undisputed champion of the world.
“I’m looking forward to a great performance. I’m excited to a great challenge from Shawn Porter. There is a burning desire within myself to have a knockout victory. It’s hard to make world-class fighters quit. The fans ultimately want to see that knockout victory.
“There are real stakes are on the line este sábado noite. Our careers are on the line. My title is on the line. My undefeated record is on the line. It’s a great fight and a great matchup.
“I do believe that with each and every fight, you step up, you step up and you step up. Así, thus the stakes are always higher and there are those times where you get a decent fight. But like I said, this is a great fight at a great moment of both athletes’ careers. We are both in our prime. I’m 27-years-old, Shawn is 28-years-old, we’ve both accomplished many great things and a victory o sábado night is just going to be another thing to add to the resume.
“This really is the best fight of the best. We’re trying to satisfy the fans and we’re trying to challenge ourselves, push ourselves, and see where we fit in and how great we really are. I’m going to show you Sábado night how great Keith “Unha Vez” Thurman really is.
“Just like Ali said, Sábado noite, I’m going to show you how great I am.”
Shawn PORTER
“É aquí. It’s been long anticipated and it’s here. I have never been more excited to fight in my life. It’s a blessing. Along this journey I’ve been able to learn the basics and excel in the basics and I found myself in a position where I’ve been able to be very successful.
“My hometown Cleveland Cavaliers winning the NBA title is definitely a motivation. It motivates me to be a winner. I want to bring this belt back to Ohio.
“I’m looking forward to this kind of moment to shine. That’s how you gain notoriety and become bigger. Non hai presión, just excitement.
“I’m just looking forward to getting in there and getting that energetic feeling. I want to feel the excitement of getting into the ring and all the adrenaline that rushes through.
“This is the fight I wanted. I wanted to have fun training for a fight like this. Keith has made it possible. He’s so good it pushes me to be better.
“This isn’t the first time and it won’t be the last time that two friends fight. I’m done talking about us being friends because it’s time for us to start punching each other. My plan is to have great defense, avoid getting hit and win the fight.
“I didn’t take much time off after the postponement. We tried to train and stay ready through the cancellation. You never know when the phone is going to ring. We just wanted to stay in shape, get better and be ready for anything.
“I feel like if Floyd Mayweather comes back, he should fight the winner of this matchup. I believe that will be me.
“I’m not going to go in there looking for a knockout and throw my hands wildly. I’m going to keep up the pace that I normally keep up. I’m a great boxer. People consider me a boxer, but I may surprise you.”
JARRETT HURD
“Estou agradecido por esta oportunidade. This is a great shot for me right now. In my last fight I had an opportunity similar to this. I was a fill-in for television and I did what I was supposed to do.
“Success is accomplished when preparation meets opportunity. I know things like this can happen. It doesn’t change anything. We’re going to go out and do what we trained for.
“You always get butterflies before getting in the ring but that’s normal. Molina is very experienced and has good hand speed but I know what I can do. We’re ready for this.
“I’m happy to be on this stage. This could be the biggest fight of the year and I’m extremely blessed to open it up.
“I’m going to go out there and put on another terrific performance. Molina, he’s an Olympian and he has a lot of experience. He’s a crafty fighter and we’re going to do what we have to do to get the victory.
“We’re ready to do what we’re going to do. Vai ser unha gran loita o sábado noite.”
MOLINA OSCAR
“I’m ready for this. I’m more than ready for this. These type of fights are what gets me up to train.
“This guy I’m fighting is young, undefeated and a prospect like myself. I know he’s going to be ready and it’s going to be a tough fight but I’m ready for him.
“This is a huge deal for me. I was already excited to be on this huge undercard. When they told me that I was moving up to CBS I knew how big of an opportunity it is for me and my career.
“Hurd is a tall and lanky fighter. I saw his last fight and I see that he does well with guys who are flat footed. My boxing skills and my footwork are something he’s never seen before. Frank Galarza was tailor-made for Hurd and I think I’m going to be able to give him different looks.
“I’m a boxer-puncher and I can adapt to different styles. I also have power for big knockouts but my boxing skills are most important.
“Fighting in the Olympics taught me to adapt to different styles. I have a fan-friendly style and I’m excited to put on a show.”
DAN BIRMINGHAM, Thurman’s Trainer
“Estamos preparados para esta loita. Keith trains hard every day and we know Shawn and Kenny well. I’ve brought them to my gym and these two guys have gone a lot of rounds together.
“I think Keith Thurman is the most gifted guy in boxing. He does everything right. Sábado night we’re looking for a great fight and I know in my heart that we will be victorious.”
KEN PORTER, Pai de Porter & Adestrador
“É gran estar aquí. It’s great to be on this stage with Shawn. This isn’t something we just started getting ready for, this is something he’s been getting ready for since birth. I always had a mindset to put Shawn in a position to excel in life. He has not disappointed.
“I know these guys are going to give it everything they have. It will be 100 percent for as long as it lasts. We’re prepared to take the championship. These are great guys here to the right, pero o sábado we’re bringing everything to the table.
“We’re coming to deliver a great show. Enjoy yourselves o sábado noite.”
Lou DiBella, Presidente da DiBella Entertainment
“This is what it’s all about. Este sábado noite, the best is fighting the best. It’s right here in Brooklyn on CBS. It’s the first fight on CBS in primetime since Muhammad Ali fought over 30 anos.
“This is a terrific card from top to bottom. There is a tremendous undercard, a great co-feature and a main event that boxing fans have been waiting for a long time.
“This is an undercard chock full of talent. You will want to get there early as there are evenly matched bouts all night.
“SHOWTIME has highlighted the 154-pound division in recent shows, so it makes sense that there will be another significant matchup in that division on CBS Sábado night with Jarrett Hurd and Oscar Molina.
“We’re not going to talk about friendship and respect anymore with these two guys, that’s in the past and the future. These guys know their future is dependent on beating up the other guy and a fight of this magnitude makes the stakes even higher.
“The best want to fight the best and it starts Sábado noite. The winner of this fight wants to be the best in the world. Both men want to be an undisputed welterweight champion.”
STEPHEN Espinoza, Vicepresidente Executivo & Director Xeral, Showtime Sports
“Xuño 25 is a very special day and night for us at CBS. It begins with the heavyweight world title being contested between Anthony Joshua and Dominic Breazeale and then the return of boxing to primetime CBS for the first time in almost 40 anos.
“This was an easy fight to make. Shawn and Keith, neither one hesitated for a second in taking this fight. All credit goes to them for taking this fight. It’s a difficult fight for both on a big stage.
“Boxing takes criticism for not making the right fights at the right time. One of the bad habits we have is that we spend time thinking about fights that might get made. But now we have the right fight, at the right time and at the right venue. It’s a disservice to not recognize that what is going o sábado is very special and very exciting.”
Brett Yormark, CEO de Brooklyn Sports & Diversión
“It’s an exciting week at Barclays Center. Esta noite we host the NBA Draft, the weigh-in mañá and our big event Sábadonoite. The momentum is building for this fight and we are on pace for the biggest crowd for a boxing event since we opened.
“We are excited about bringing a great night of fights to Brooklyn. We welcome Keith Thurman and Shawn Porter back to Brooklyn as they have both fought there once before.
“It’s become tradition to have both of you fight in our ring and we know how popular you are with our fans and we love to have you back.
“This will be the first primetime fight on CBS since the first Muhammad Ali-Leon Spinks fight in 1978 and it’s a big moment for the boxing community for sure. We look forward to hosting everyone o sábado noite.”

Major statement made by Undefeated Demetrius “Boo Boo” Andrade

Leave a comment
Providencia (Xuño 23, 2016) – A year after he was stripped of his world super welterweight title by the World Boxing Organization (WBO), undefeated super welterweight Demetrius “Boo Boo” Andrade has repositioned himself off of his sensational June 11 th stoppage of Willle “A gran” Nelson en Showtime Championship Boxing®.
The 28-year-old Andrade (23-0, 16 Kos) decked Nelson (25-3-1, 15 Kos) four times, finishing off his game opponent who’d never been knocked out, no 12th round of their fight at Turning Stone Casino (Verona, N.I.).
Andrade successfully defended his WBO International title and also gained several valuable options in terms of world title and/or major fights. He is now the No. 1 mandatory contender in the World Boxing Council (WBC), waiting to challenge the winner of a mandated title fight between new champion Jermell Charlo and WBC Silver title holder Charles Hatley. O 2008 U.S. Olympian is No. 2 na WBO, Non. 3 in the World Boxing Association (WBA), e Miguel Cotta is No. 1 in both of those sanctioning organizations.
After his sensational, statement-making performance against Nelson, Andrade said he wanted to fight anybody whose name started with “C” and ended in ‘O” – the Charlo brothers (IBF champion isJermall Charlo), Cotto and “Canelo” (Saul Alvarez).
“I am the best fighter in the 154-pound division,” Andrade proclaimed. “I’m the No. 1 contender in the WBO. Liam Smith is holding my belt but I don’t believe he’ll fight me. I’m the WBC mandatory for the Charlo-Hatley winner. Once I get that belt I’ll beat Charlo’s twin for the IBF title and I’ve been calling out (WBA champ Erislandy) Lara durante moito tempo. But ‘Canelo’ is the big money fight out there for me and who I want the most. I can be ready for him in September for his next fight. Ao final do día, we’ll see what’s up, but I want to get right back in the ring as soon as one of these guys step up to fight me.”
During his long layoff, Andrade made a conscious effort to be a more fan-friendly fighter, building up his strength to go along with his superior quickness. Many called his last fight, ‘Mayweather-like,’ in which Demetrius displayed tremendous power and explosiveness, which complemented his incredible boxing skills and defense.
“When I first turned pro,” Andrade explicou, “I was getting in the ring with some good fighters, so I was cautious and settled in on just getting a victory. I learned that I needed to change in order to put butts in seats. I don’t get hit and I also showed that I could go 12 rounds, good for experience, and still takeout a tough fighter like Nelson who had never been stopped. I wasn’t going for the knockout but, after I caught him early with a right hook, I knew that it would come if I was patient and kept up the pressure. I think Willie can give any of the other top guys at 154 a good fight. He has a big heart and came to win. It wasn’t as easy as it may have looked on the scorecards. Willie pushed me to look good. During my layoff, I worked hard on my craft to be better, concentrating on strength and conditioning, and it really showed in my last fight. I worked on my fundamentals and had a lot of success going to the body. I believe fans saw improvement in my performance and appreciated it.”
More comfortable knowing his promotional issues are now in the past (his A Team Promotions owns 50% of his rights to go along with 25% each for Banner Promotions (Artie Pelullo) e Star Boxing (Joe DeGuardia), Andrade is prepared to clean out the 154-division before eventually moving up in weight to take on Gennady Golovkin in what Andrade believes can be a mega-fight in due time.
“I’ve always known since I first saw Demetrius in the ring at 14 years old that he was going to become a superstar,” A Team Promotions president E Farris comentou. “There were so many doubters and obstacles along the way. It sure took a long time to get here but I’m so happy for him that his moment has finally arrived. You don’t know how good it feels to see him fulfill his destiny.”
Andrade, de feito, hasn’t lost inside the ring in nearly eight years, when he was ripped off against Korean boxer Kim Jung-Joo, 11-9, in the quarterfinals of the 2008 Olimpíadas de Pequín, China. The boxer named “Boo Boo” – as a kid with cuts, bumps and bruises – doesn’t plan on changing his unbeaten script.
“I’m still untouchable,” Andrade concluded. “I’ve shown my continued commitment to boxing. It’s ‘Boo Boo’ tempo!”
