Berikut adalah apa yang para peserta harus mengatakan Hari Selasa:
LEO SANTA CRUZ
My dream is to be the next big thing in boxing. We’re going to work hard every day in the gym, learn from our mistakes and improve so I can be the best fighter out there. With the help of the fans and the media I think I can accomplish that.
He has great skills, great punches and he moves very well. It’s going to be a tough fight for me but I’m going to work hard to defend my belt.
I see Frampton as someone trying to come and take away everything I worked hard for. I can’t let that happen. I’m going to do what I have to do to get the win.
“Dia seorang pejuang yang sangat terampil. He has great power and I think it’s going to be an exciting fight. These are the kind of guys I want to fight. It gives me even more motivation to get in the gym and train hard.
I’ve known Mikey Garcia from the amateur days and our families have sparred with each other. I’ve even trained with Robert Garcia before. To see another great Mexican fighter go over to New York is very exciting. I’m very happy for him. He’s a great guy and a great fighter.
I think Frampton will keep his power up the weight classes. He couldn’t make 122-pounds anymore and he’s said that he will be even stronger this time. Bagus. That’s what I want. I want him to feel good so it’ll be a tough and entertaining fight.
I can’t let him come over to the U.S. and get this win. We’re going to go out there and see if he can bring the best out of me. I’m going to be one-hundred percent ready.
I’m comfortable at 126-pounds. I want to get this win against Carl Frampton and then unify against Gary Russell Jr., Lee Selby or any of the champions. When my body is ready we’ll move up in weight to seek another world title.
When I first started boxing all I ever thought about was being a world champion one time. Then after I got there I started pushing my goals. If I continue to keep learning and improve as a fighter, I could go all the way up to 140-pounds.
I’m thrilled to be fighting in New York. It’s going to be my first time out there. I’m excited to meet new fans. The people who have wished I would fight in New York will get to see me. There are people that don’t know me and this my opportunity to be impressive and put on a show for them.
Mikey GARCIA
I’m a well-rounded fighter. I can adjust to just about any style. I get a lot of diverse sparring so that I can adjust to anything Rojas might bring. Training camp has been going very well and I think it’s going to be a good night for me.
I’ve seen Rojas before. I saw him when he was champion. He’s a good fighter with a lot of experience. He can definitely box and has a good right hand. He lost his title to a great champion. He’s very skilled and experience.
Both of us are boxers and we tend to try to work from a distance. This time I may have to look for the fight a bit more and apply some pressure. If he tries to box around, I’ll find him. I think my power will eventually be the difference and I’ll break him down.
I don’t believe there will be ring rust because I was never really outside of the ring. I’ve been in the gym the whole time, sparring and training. I would spar 10 atau 12 putaran, just to do it. Not because I had a fight, but just to keep me active. I know it seems like a long time, but I don’t really see it. I feel like I was gone six months.
I want to fight at 135 and fight for a title there. I’m going to see how my body feels after this fight, but that’s the plan as of now. We’re not looking past Elio. I definitely want to get back in the ring soon if everything goes right.
I have no regrets. I’ve got to enjoy myself more than I had in the last 10 tahun. When you’re in boxing, it’s a year round sport. You don’t have time to yourself, for your family or friends. You miss out on a lot. I learned a lot in my time away about boxing and more.
This will end up being about a seven-week training camp, but even prior to that I’ve been staying in the gym. I don’t feel any different. I feel one-hundred percent. My body is well-rested which makes me hungrier and more motivated.
I’ve fought in New York before and it’s always been a great and very supportive crowd. I was at Barclays Center for the first time on June 25 for Thurman-Porter and it was a great arena. It had great energy and I can’t wait to fight there. I can’t wait to fight at Barclays.
It’s great to be in the gym with all these different types of fighters that my brother trains. I have a lot of very intense sparring. I’ve gotten a chance to really learn from the different styles and it definitely helps me.
IVAN REDKACH
This is an excellent fight for me. I’m closing in to a title shot and I’m going to be ready on Bulan Juli 30.
I have a plan for this fight. You’ll see it in the ring. I’m going to make this an exciting fight.
A title fight is my motivation but my focus in fully on Bulan Juli 30. Everything I’ve done is to lead up to a world title fight.
I know that my opponent is slick and very fast. He’s a good boxer but we’ll see what he brings to the ring.
This is my first camp with Leo Santa Cruz and his team and it’s been going very well. I feel very prepared to fight.
ANTONIO SANTA CRUZ, Leo’s Brother & Pelatih
This camp feels very close to the same as usual. Ayah saya (Jose) is usually the one who tells us what to do. I’m in the ring with Leo but he’s still there. He is sick but he is still going to the gym. He wants to be there for Leo.
Frampton is a good fighter. He’s going to give my brother a good fight. Short guys are tougher for Leo so we’re making sure we have sparring with fighters of all heights. Frampton won’t be hard to get inside but his height could pose a problem.
It’s a little bit more pressure on me. I’m trying to show my father that I can learn and help Leo be at his best. I think he’s going to have a great night.
JOSE SANTA CRUZ, Leo’s Father & Pelatih
“Saya merasa baik. Right now I’m going to the gym every day. Leo looks good in the ring and is training very well.
Little by little Antonio is learning and even I’m still learning. We’re both getting better as trainers and that is our goal, menjadi hebat. I feel the love from my sons and I love them a lot too. I’m proud of them and I’m proud that they are my sons.
Leo is very calm. I don’t think Leo is going to be affected by traveling to New York. Even if he doesn’t have the majority of the fans, I don’t think it will affect him.
You never know how it’s going to go on fight night. You can prepare in the gym, but sometimes, once you’re up in the ring, a fight can get complicated.
Even if I can’t make it to New York, I’m going to watch the fight. Even if it’s with one eye open, I’m going to watch.
ROBERT GARCIA, Mikey’s Brother & Pelatih
Mikey definitely wants to win a title at 135-pounds. There are some good champions out there but not necessarily a huge name. Eventually Mikey would want to go up to 140-pounds where I believe there are a lot of exciting fights that could be made.
Elio is a fighter that has been off for a while and he’s a former world champion. He’s also trying to come back and make a statement. We have to be prepared for the opponent to be at the top of his game.
Now that he’s got a date and with the training and sparring, Mikey has been looking really good. It’s been a while. We might see a little bit of rust, a little bit of adjustment to timing. But the way he’s been in the gym, against top quality fighters, he’s been looking so good that I wouldn’t be surprised if he put on one of his best performances.

Frampton and Malignaggi posed for pictures outside of Barclays Center and under the Brooklyn Bridge before heading to Gleason’s Gym, where Malignaggi got his start in the sport, for Frampton’s first workout for New York media.
Berikut adalah apa yang para peserta harus mengatakan Hari Kamis:
CARL Frampton
I want to be in exciting fights. From here on in my career, Saya ingin menjadi besar. Who better to face than Leo Santa Cruz? This is a chance to put my name down in history and become a two-weight world champion from Ireland.
I’ve been listening to Barry McGuigan since I turned professional. I just wanted to soak all of it up like a sponge. He’s got so much knowledge and he’s been around for so many years. I just need to be around him and learn. Shane does an amazing job training me, and between the two of them, I feel like I’m benefitting every day.
It’s very nice to be here in Brooklyn, it’s a lovely borough and it’s so great to be here in New York. There are a lot of boxing fans in New York and I really think this is the number one city for boxing.
We’re bringing a lot of lads from back home, and I also hope the Irish-Americans get to know my name, and everyone in Brooklyn as well. I expect about 1,500 traveling fans from Belfast. I think I’ll have more support than Santa Cruz.
This fight is huge for me because I really want to create a legacy. I know how people talk, and I think people will be talking about this for a very long time. I want people to remember me as a great fighter, that’s all.
I train very hard for every fight. No less or no more for Santa Cruz. We’re expecting a very tough fight with a lot of action.
The last time I was an underdog was the Irish championships, when I was an amateur. You could have got me at 11:2, I was a massive underdog. I dropped him pretty early on, so the last time I was an underdog, a lot of people who knew me made a lot of money. It’s going to be the same result this time.
“Pindah ke 126 pounds was definitely the right decision for me. I’m a big puncher but I lost power coming down to 122 pon. I’m going to be punching harder and be at my very best.
I’m right on the door step of everything. I’m so excited for fight night, it’s going to be a truly special experience.
It’s important to be recognized in the States. This is where all of the great fighters from around the world end up fighting, and I really want to be recognized as a great fighter.
Paulie Malignaggi
I think my fight with Bracero is an interesting clash of styles. We have similar styles in that we like to box and counter punch but we’re also both very familiar with each other. I’m sure he’ll have something up his sleeve for me.
Making this kind of all-Brooklyn fight is great for the fans. We both have our own followings so it should make for an electric atmosphere at Barclays Center.
The main event is going to be a great fight. When you look at the styles and the pedigrees of both men, it’s hard to predict what’s going to happen. Both guys have exciting styles so I’m betting on the fans getting their money’s worth.
BARRY McGuigan, Manajer Frampton dunia, Mantan Juara Dunia & Hall of Fame
After Carl defeated Scott Quigg and became a unified champion at 122 pon, we believe that all of the exciting fights in that division have passed. We want to be involved in exciting fights.
The Quigg fight wasn’t as exciting as we would have liked, but we knew it was going to be like that. We knew he’d come on late in the fight and we had our tactics planned well. This is going to be a much better fight because Santa Cruz is brave and takes chances. He also has underrated boxing skills.
Shane is making Carl a better fighter every day. Every day that you don’t get better is a day you wasted. Carl is in the best physical shape of his career and we will have a plan A, B and C for this fight.
Santa Cruz is a great fighter. He’s low-key, humble and he hasn’t talked trash. This will be Carl’s hardest fight. It feels great to be involved helping Carl reach his maximum potential, it’s the second best thing to being in the ring yourself.
We believe 100 percent in Frampton’s ability to win this fight and that he will be successful on fight night.
There are some great fights out there for Carl. Kami 100 percent committed to Bulan Juli 30 but there are lots of great fights in the featherweight division. We will have lots of support on fight night and I have no doubt there will be a large Irish crowd there to support Carl.
SHANE McGuigan, Frampton dunia Trainer
Leo Santa Cruz is unbeaten and there aren’t really any weaknesses from my perspective. He’s a phenomenal fighter, but I don’t believe he’s fought a fighter of Carl Frampton’s caliber, as an all-around fighter.
When he meets someone who is as good, or in my opinion, better than him, we’ll see what he’s made of. I think it’s going to make for one of the most exciting fights of the year.
I wouldn’t be taking on this fight it I wasn’t extremely confident in Carl, even though he’s coming in as the underdog. I don’t think Santa Cruz has ever felt the power that Carl brings before. I think Carl can beat him comfortably if he continues to prepare well, and then steps into the ring and does what he’s capable of doing.
We’re finishing up camp now and making sure we’re 100 percent read. We have to be 100 percent to fight Leo Santa Cruz.
Carl is extremely heavy-handed. He’s extremely skillful, a true all-rounder. He really lives the life, and that makes it easy for me. The way he trains, how he eats, how he sleeps: he takes it seriously and takes care of himself.
The transition coming over to New York to finish training camp has been great. We could have waited until closer to fight night but we want every single percent to our advantage.
We’re still acclimatizing to the heat, the jet lag is no problem and we’re going to be ready on fight night.
This fight is history in the making. It’s a fight that can really put Carl on the map. It’s always a huge opportunity when you’re fighting for a title, against someone of Santa Cruz’s caliber.

UNDEFEATED AMERICAN HEAVYWEIGHT JARRELL MILLER TO FACE TOUGH VETERAN FRED KASSI ON FRIDAY, Agustus. 19 IN MAIN EVENT OF SHOBOX: THE NEW GENERATION

Tripleheader from Rhinos Stadium in Rochester, N.Y.. Airs Live at 10 p.m. DAN/PT pada SHOWTIME®

NEW YORK (Bulan Juni 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 Cat dalam acara utama ShoBox: Generasi Baru pada tanggal Hari Jumat, Agustus. 19.

 

The confident and hard-hitting Miller (17-0-1, 15 Biaya) and the durable and vastly experienced Kassi (18-5-1, 10 Biaya) will headline a tripleheader live on SHOWTIME di 10 p.m. DAN/PT from the outdoor soccer venue Rhinos Stadium in Rochester, N.Y..

 

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

 

Dalam pertarungan pembukaan siaran tersebut, undefeated welterweight knockout artist Bakhtiyar Eyubov (10-0, 10 Biaya) will face battle-tested veteran Karim Mayfield (19-3-1, 11 Biaya) dalam pertandingan 10 ronde.

 

Tickets for the event presented by Salita Promotions go on sale Jumat ini di Noon ET dan tersedia di http://www.rhinossoccer.com/dan 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. Sangat jauh, 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) Kemarahan, 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. Bulan Agustus 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,Promotor Dmitriy Salita tersebut. “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.”

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 Bulan Juli 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.”

Hurd hampir melempar 750 meninju 10 putaran, dibandingkan dengan hanya 376 untuk Molina, menghubungkan pada 220 tembakan kekuatan hampir 40 klip persen.

 

Hurd memberi cap pada penampilannya di babak final, menutup pertunjukan dengan mendaratkan Molina 33-7 di babak final. Dengan Molina menerima pukulan brutal dan tampak tidak berdaya di menit-menit akhir babak final, Ricky Gonzalez turun tangan untuk menghentikan kontes di 2:02.

 

“Ini jelas merupakan kemenangan besar bagi karier saya,"Kata Hurd. “Dia mengambil banyak tembakan, tapi dia tahu cara bertahan hidup. Sebuah pukulan besar yang menjatuhkannya pada ronde pertama. Orang-orang mengetahui dari pertarungan terakhir saya bahwa saya mempunyai pukulan uppercut kanan yang hebat. Dia terluka beberapa kali. Saya tidak berpikir itu adalah penghentian yang buruk. Molina adalah pria yang sangat tangguh yang terus berusaha maju.

 

“Pertarungan ini menempatkan saya bersama para penantang teratas dalam divisinya. Saya merasa seperti saya bisa menjalani tiga atau empat putaran lagi. Saya menjadi lebih kuat seiring berjalannya pertarungan. Kami akan segera kembali ke gym sehingga kami bisa masuk ke sana lagi.”

 

Molina (13-1-1, 10 Biaya) memprotes, namun kecuali ia mencetak KO yang menakjubkan, ia hanya tinggal beberapa detik lagi untuk menderita kekalahan pertama dalam kariernya melalui keputusan mutlak.

 

“Saya merasa Hurd melontarkan banyak pukulan pada ronde kesepuluh, namun pukulan itu tidak terlalu melukai saya,kata Molina. “Dia tetap sibuk tetapi dia tidak pernah benar-benar menyakiti saya.

 

“Saya bergerak rendah dan kepala saya tertunduk dan dia menangkap saya dengan pukulan uppercut itu pada ronde pertama. Ia menyerang saya dengan sebuah pukulan yang tidak saya duga, namun itu benar-benar sebuah pukulan knockdown yang cepat. Saya tidak terluka.

 

“Saya seharusnya menggunakan gerak kaki saya lebih banyak, namun akhirnya saya menghambat pukulan saya. Dia memiliki pertahanan yang canggung dengan banyak membungkuk dan saya tidak bisa mengikuti ritmenya.

 

“Ini adalah kesempatan besar bagi saya dan saya merasa telah berjuang dengan baik. Saya akan kembali dengan lebih kuat. Kami akan mengerjakan banyak hal dan kembali ke sana.”

Tadi malam di SHOWTIME, sensasi kelas berat tak terkalahkan Anthony Joshua berhasil mempertahankan Kejuaraan Dunia Kelas Berat IBF untuk pertama kalinya dengan KO ronde ketujuh dari petinju Amerika yang sebelumnya tak terkalahkan Dominic Breazeale di The O2 di London. VIDEO: http://s.sho.com/28VGgsa

 

Di bawah ini adalah kutipan dari Joshua setelahnya Sabtu menang di SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL:

 

Banyak yang mengira Dominic Breazeale tidak akan mampu melawan kekuatan dan kecepatan Anda, tetapi apakah Anda bersyukur atas kesempatan untuk meningkatkan keterampilan tinju Anda?

"Dengan baik, ini sulit karena Anda dapat melihat mereka terluka di setiap pukulan – baik, tidak setiap tembakan – tetapi ketika Anda mulai menangkapnya, siram, mereka dapat merasakan tembakan dengan mengenakan sarung tangan sepuluh ons ini. Jadi, ini hanya masalah waktu, tetapi dalam prosesnya saya tidak ingin menerima pembuat masalah dalam perjalanan pulang.

 

“Sungguh sulit, saya mendapat libur dua minggu setelah pertarungan terakhir saya, dan langsung kembali ke gym jadi itu sulit. Saya mendapat sedikit istirahat sejenak dan kemudian saya dapat kembali dengan baterai yang telah diisi ulang.”

 

Kita tahu Deontay Wilder menyaksikan pertarungan itu. Apakah kamu punya pesan untuknya?, Juara WBC?

“Orang inspiratif yang luar biasa. Dia sabar, 30-perkelahian yang aneh [dan] mendapatkan WBC [sabuk]. Saya mengikutinya. Saya sedang menuju Amerika. dengan SHOWTIME mendukung saya juga. Jadi, dia menyaksikan itu.

 

“Dia dapat mengambil apa pun yang dia ingin ambil dari itu, tapi itu sangat berbeda ketika Anda berada di atas ring bersama-sama. Jadi suatu hari nanti kita akan bisa merasakan apa yang dialami satu sama lain.”

 

Siapa yang ingin Anda lawan selanjutnya?

“Saya pikir itu harus seperti itu [Joseph] Parker. Saya benar-benar memperhatikan Fury… Saya harap dia segera membaik. Sayangnya pergelangan kakinya terluka, yang telah menundanya karena saya berharap bisa mendapatkannya di musim dingin jika semuanya berjalan baik 9 Juli seperti yang terjadimalam ini, tapi kita harus menjadwal ulang itu dan sementara itu, kita bisa melihat lawan lain seperti Parker, jika dia kosong, atau siapa pun yang diinginkan orang.”

 

Menurut Anda apa yang masih perlu Anda kerjakan?

"Istirahat. Saya perlu istirahat. saya lelah, Saya bekerja keras dan seperti yang saya katakan, sekarang aku bisa mendapatkannya

KEITH THURMAN
“Merupakan suatu kehormatan untuk berada di platform ini. Saya senang bisa kembali ke Barclays Center. Pertarungan terakhir saya di Barclays Center adalah pertama kalinya saya merasakan para penggemar memberi saya cinta dan saya merasa berhasil.
“Saya bersemangat merasakan energi di arena. Kami sudah pulih dan kami siap. Kami melakukan apa yang perlu kami lakukan agar kami siapHari Sabtu malam.
“Saat aku memikirkan pertarungan ini, ini adalah mimpi yang menjadi kenyataan bagi saya. Terkadang aku merasa seperti sedang menjalani mimpi. Saya memikirkan bagaimana saya dibesarkan oleh Ben Getty hingga saat ini. Ben sering berkata bahwa momenku sudah dekat,’ dan sekarang di sini. Dia adalah orang yang bijaksana dan dia tahu apa yang dia bicarakan.
“Ini pertarungan yang hebat. Inilah yang ingin dilihat oleh para penggemar tinju. Saya yakin Anda sedang melihat dua petinju kelas welter terbaik di dunia.
“Saya di sini sebagai entertainer. Saya di sini karena kecintaan terhadap olahraga. Para penggemar ingin melihat pertarungan seperti ini. Jelas sekali dalam divisi kelas welter bahwa kami adalah dua petarung paling menarik dan dahsyat di divisi ini.
“Semua orang terus membicarakan video sparring, jadi aku putuskan saja untuk mematikannya. Perdebatan adalah perdebatan dan pertarungan adalah pertarungan. Pertarungan ini akan dinilai dan kali ini saya akan mengenakan sarung tangan seberat delapan ons.
“Selalu menjadi impian saya untuk menjadi juara dunia yang tak terbantahkan.
“Saya menantikan penampilan yang luar biasa. Saya senang dengan tantangan besar dari Shawn Porter. Ada hasrat membara dalam diri saya untuk meraih kemenangan KO. Sulit untuk membuat petarung kelas dunia berhenti. Para penggemar pada akhirnya ingin melihat kemenangan KO itu.
“Ada pertaruhan nyata yang dipertaruhkan Sabtu ini malam. Karier kami dipertaruhkan. Judul saya dipertaruhkan. Rekor tak terkalahkanku dipertaruhkan. Ini pertarungan yang hebat dan pertarungan yang hebat.
“Saya yakin itu dalam setiap pertarungan, kamu melangkah maju, kamu maju dan kamu maju. Jadi, jadi taruhannya selalu lebih tinggi dan ada saatnya Anda mendapatkan pertarungan yang layak. Tapi seperti saya katakan, ini adalah pertarungan hebat di momen hebat kedua atlet’ karir. Kami berdua berada di puncak. Saya berumur 27 tahun, Shawn berusia 28 tahun, kami berdua telah mencapai banyak hal hebat dan sebuah kemenangan pada hari Sabtu malam hanya akan menjadi hal lain untuk ditambahkan ke resume.
“Ini benar-benar pertarungan terbaik dari yang terbaik. Kami berusaha memuaskan para penggemar dan kami mencoba menantang diri kami sendiri, mendorong diri kita sendiri, dan lihat di mana posisi kami dan betapa hebatnya kami sebenarnya. Saya akan menunjukkannya kepada Anda Hari Sabtu malam betapa hebatnya Keith “Satu Kali” Thurman sebenarnya.
“Seperti yang dikatakan Ali, Hari Sabtu malam, Saya akan menunjukkan kepada Anda betapa hebatnya saya.”
SHAWN PORTER
“Itu disini. Sudah lama diantisipasi dan sudah tiba. Saya tidak pernah lebih bersemangat untuk bertarung dalam hidup saya. Ini berkat. Sepanjang perjalanan ini saya telah mampu mempelajari dasar-dasarnya dan menguasai dasar-dasarnya dan saya menemukan diri saya dalam posisi di mana saya bisa menjadi sangat sukses..
“Kampung halaman saya Cleveland Cavaliers memenangkan gelar NBA jelas merupakan sebuah motivasi. Itu memotivasi saya untuk menjadi pemenang. Saya ingin membawa sabuk ini kembali ke Ohio.
“Saya menantikan momen seperti ini untuk bersinar. Begitulah cara Anda mendapatkan ketenaran dan menjadi lebih besar. Tidak ada tekanan, hanya kegembiraan.
“Saya hanya menantikan untuk masuk ke sana dan mendapatkan perasaan energik itu. Saya ingin merasakan keseruan masuk ke dalam ring dan segala adrenalin yang mengalir deras.
“Inilah pertarungan yang saya inginkan. Saya ingin menjalani latihan yang menyenangkan untuk pertarungan seperti ini. Keith telah mewujudkannya. Dia sangat baik sehingga mendorong saya untuk menjadi lebih baik.
“Ini bukan pertama kalinya dan bukan kali terakhir dua orang sahabat bertengkar. Aku sudah selesai membicarakan tentang kita sebagai teman karena sudah waktunya bagi kita untuk mulai saling memukul. Rencana saya adalah memiliki pertahanan yang hebat, menghindari pukulan dan memenangkan pertarungan.
“Saya tidak mengambil banyak waktu istirahat setelah penundaan itu. Kami mencoba berlatih dan tetap siap melewati pembatalan. Anda tidak pernah tahu kapan telepon akan berdering. Kami hanya ingin tetap bugar, menjadi lebih baik dan bersiap untuk apa pun.
“Saya merasa jika Floyd Mayweather kembali, dia harus melawan pemenang pertarungan ini. Saya percaya itu adalah saya.
“Saya tidak akan masuk ke sana untuk mencari KO dan melemparkan tangan saya dengan liar. Saya akan mempertahankan kecepatan yang biasanya saya ikuti. Saya seorang petinju hebat. Orang-orang menganggap saya seorang petinju, tapi aku mungkin akan mengejutkanmu.”
JARRETT HURD
“Saya bersyukur atas kesempatan ini. Ini adalah kesempatan bagus bagi saya saat ini. Dalam pertarungan terakhir saya, saya mempunyai kesempatan serupa dengan ini. Saya adalah pengisi acara televisi dan saya melakukan apa yang seharusnya saya lakukan.
“Kesuksesan dicapai ketika persiapan bertemu dengan peluang. Saya tahu hal seperti ini bisa terjadi. Itu tidak mengubah apa pun. Kami akan keluar dan melakukan apa yang kami latih.
“Anda selalu merasa berdebar-debar sebelum naik ring, tetapi itu normal. Molina sangat berpengalaman dan memiliki kecepatan tangan yang bagus tapi saya tahu apa yang bisa saya lakukan. Kami siap untuk ini.
“Saya senang berada di panggung ini. Ini bisa menjadi pertarungan terbesar tahun ini dan saya sangat diberkati untuk membukanya.
“Saya akan pergi ke sana dan menampilkan penampilan hebat lainnya. Molina, dia seorang atlet Olimpiade dan dia memiliki banyak pengalaman. Ia adalah petarung yang terampil dan kami akan melakukan apa yang harus kami lakukan untuk meraih kemenangan.
“Kami siap melakukan apa yang akan kami lakukan. Ini akan menjadi pertarungan besar pada hari Sabtu malam.”
OSCAR Molina
“Saya siap untuk ini. Saya lebih dari siap untuk ini. Pertarungan seperti inilah yang membuat saya bersemangat untuk berlatih.
“Orang yang saya lawan ini masih muda, tak terkalahkan dan prospek seperti diriku. Saya tahu dia akan siap dan ini akan menjadi pertarungan yang sulit, namun saya siap untuknya.
“Ini adalah masalah besar bagi saya. Saya sudah bersemangat untuk ikut serta dalam kartu bawah yang besar ini. Ketika mereka memberi tahu saya bahwa saya akan pindah ke CBS, saya tahu betapa besarnya peluang ini bagi saya dan karier saya.
“Hurd adalah petarung yang tinggi dan kurus. Saya melihat pertarungan terakhirnya dan saya melihat bahwa ia mampu menghadapi lawan yang berkaki datar. Keterampilan tinju dan gerak kaki saya adalah sesuatu yang belum pernah dia lihat sebelumnya. Frank Galarza dibuat khusus untuk Hurd dan saya rasa saya akan bisa memberinya penampilan yang berbeda.
“Saya seorang petinju dan saya dapat beradaptasi dengan gaya yang berbeda. Saya juga mempunyai kekuatan untuk mencetak KO besar, namun kemampuan tinju saya adalah yang paling penting.
“Bertarung di Olimpiade mengajarkan saya untuk beradaptasi dengan gaya yang berbeda. Saya memiliki gaya yang ramah penggemar dan saya bersemangat untuk menampilkannya.”
DAN BIRMINGHAM, Pelatih Thurman
“Kami siap untuk pertarungan ini. Keith berlatih keras setiap hari dan kami mengenal Shawn dan Kenny dengan baik. Saya telah membawa mereka ke sasana saya dan kedua orang ini sering melakukan ronde bersama.
“Saya pikir Keith Thurman adalah pria paling berbakat dalam tinju. Dia melakukan segalanya dengan benar. Hari Sabtu malam ini kami sedang menantikan pertarungan hebat dan saya tahu dalam hati bahwa kami akan menang.”
KEN PORTER, Ayah Porter & Pelatih
“Ini bagus untuk berada di sini. Senang rasanya berada di panggung ini bersama Shawn. Ini bukanlah sesuatu yang baru saja kami persiapkan, ini adalah sesuatu yang telah dia persiapkan sejak lahir. Saya selalu memiliki pola pikir untuk menempatkan Shawn pada posisi yang unggul dalam hidup. Dia tidak kecewa.
“Saya tahu orang-orang ini akan memberikan segalanya yang mereka miliki. Itu akan terjadi 100 persen selama itu berlangsung. Kami siap untuk mengambil kejuaraan. Ini adalah orang-orang hebat di sini di sebelah kanan, tapi pada hari Sabtu kami membawa semuanya ke meja perundingan.
“Kami datang untuk memberikan pertunjukan yang luar biasa. Nikmati dirimu sendiri pada hari Sabtu malam.”
LOU DiBella, Presiden DiBella Hiburan
“Ini semua tentangnya. Sabtu ini malam, yang terbaik adalah melawan yang terbaik. Itu ada di sini, di Brooklyn di CBS. Ini adalah pertarungan primetime pertama di CBS sejak perebutan Muhammad Ali 30 bertahun-tahun lalu.
“Ini adalah kartu yang luar biasa dari atas ke bawah. Ada kartu bawah yang luar biasa, fitur tambahan yang hebat dan acara utama yang telah lama ditunggu-tunggu oleh para penggemar tinju.
“Ini adalah kartu bawah yang penuh dengan bakat. Anda sebaiknya tiba di sana lebih awal karena ada pertarungan yang seimbang sepanjang malam.
“SHOWTIME telah menyoroti pembagian 154 pon dalam pertunjukan terbaru, jadi masuk akal jika akan ada pertarungan signifikan lainnya di divisi tersebut di CBS Hari Sabtu malam bersama Jarrett Hurd dan Oscar Molina.
“Kami tidak akan membicarakan persahabatan dan rasa hormat lagi dengan kedua orang ini, itu di masa lalu dan masa depan. Orang-orang ini tahu masa depan mereka bergantung pada mengalahkan lawannya dan pertarungan sebesar ini membuat taruhannya semakin tinggi.
“Yang terbaik ingin melawan yang terbaik dan itu dimulai Hari Sabtu malam. Pemenang pertarungan ini ingin menjadi yang terbaik di dunia. Keduanya ingin menjadi juara kelas welter yang tak terbantahkan.”
STEPHEN Espinoza, Executive Vice President & Manajer Umum, SHOWTIME Olahraga
Bulan Juni 25 adalah siang dan malam yang sangat istimewa bagi kami di CBS. Ini dimulai dengan perebutan gelar dunia kelas berat antara Anthony Joshua dan Dominic Breazeale dan kemudian kembalinya tinju ke jam tayang utama CBS untuk pertama kalinya dalam hampir 10 tahun terakhir. 40 tahun.
“Ini adalah pertarungan yang mudah dilakukan. Shawn dan Keith, tidak ada seorang pun yang ragu-ragu sedetik pun dalam melakukan pertarungan ini. Semua pujian diberikan kepada mereka karena telah melakukan perlawanan ini. Ini adalah pertarungan yang sulit bagi keduanya di panggung besar.
“Tinju menerima kritik karena tidak melakukan pertarungan yang tepat pada waktu yang tepat. Salah satu kebiasaan buruk yang kita miliki adalah kita menghabiskan waktu memikirkan pertengkaran yang mungkin terjadi. Tapi sekarang kami memiliki pertarungan yang tepat, pada waktu yang tepat dan di tempat yang tepat. Sungguh merugikan jika tidak menyadari apa yang sedang terjadi pada hari Sabtu sangat istimewa dan sangat menarik.”
BRETT YORMARK, CEO Brooklyn Sports & Hiburan
“Ini adalah minggu yang menyenangkan di Barclays Center. Malam Ini kami menjadi tuan rumah Draf NBA, penimbangan hari esok dan acara besar kami Hari Sabtumalam. Momentumnya sedang dibangun untuk pertarungan ini dan kami sedang mengejar jumlah penonton terbesar untuk acara tinju sejak kami dibuka.
“Kami sangat bersemangat untuk menghadirkan malam pertarungan yang luar biasa di Brooklyn. Kami menyambut Keith Thurman dan Shawn Porter kembali ke Brooklyn karena mereka berdua pernah bertarung di sana sebelumnya.

Major statement made by Undefeated Demetrius “Boo Boo” Andrade

PROVIDENCE (Bulan Juni 23, 2016) – A year after he was stripped of his world super welterweight title by the World Boxing Organization (WBO), terkalahkan Super welter Demetrius “Boo Boo” Andrade has repositioned himself off of his sensational June 11 th stoppage of Willle “The Great” Nelson pada tanggal SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING®.
The 28-year-old Andrade (23-0, 16 Biaya) decked Nelson (25-3-1, 15 Biaya) empat kali, finishing off his game opponent who’d never been knocked out, dalam 12th round of their fight at Turning Stone Casino (Verona, N.Y.).
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. Itu 2008 DIRI KITA. Olympian is No. 2 di WBO, Tidak. 3 in the World Boxing Association (WBA), dan Miguel Cotto 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 for a long time. But ‘Canelois 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. Pada akhir hari, 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 menjelaskan, “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 putaran, 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) dan Star Tinju (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 Dan Farris berkomentar. “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, faktanya, 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 Olimpiade Beijing, Cina. The boxer named “Boo Boo” – as a kid with cuts, bumps and bruisesdoesn’t plan on changing his unbeaten script.
I’m still untouchable,” Andrade menyimpulkan. “I’ve shown my continued commitment to boxing. It’s ‘Boo Boo’ waktu!”
