Premier Boxing Champions Presents: 12 Rounds with Junior Middleweight World Title Challenger Julian Williams

Klik DISINI to read on the Premier Boxing Champions website
Born and raised in the boxing-rich city of Philadelphia, Williams has proven throughout his rise up the 154-pound ranks that he can beat you with his brains as much as his brawn. How else do you explain the 26-year-old’s current streak of nine straight fights without so much as losing a single round?
More than just a skilled boxer, Williams is also a true student of the sweet science, baik dalam dan keluar dari ring. Faktanya, “J Batu” has such deep respect for his sport’s history that one gets the sense he’s spent as much time researching the legends of the game as he has how to perfect a three-punch combination.
Speaking of history, Julian Williams (22-0-1, 14 Biaya) will be looking to make some of his own Bulan Desember 10 when he challenges 154-pound champion Jermall Charlo at the Galen Center on the campus of USC in Los Angeles (SHOWTIME, 10 p.m. DAN/7 p.m. PT).
During a recent break from training for his first world title fight, Williams chatted with us about the man he believes is the greatest fighter in history, the importance of the jab, his mad culinary skills and the top item on his bucket list (hint: He’s on the verge of crossing it off).
Do you have a boxing hero?
I respect Muhammad Ali as a modern hero in history for the things he stood for-not just for what did in boxing. Untuk me, Ali’s boxing [accomplishments] are relative and a smaller part of his legacy compared to what stood for outside of the ring.
Muhammad Ali’s true greatness was represented by what he did for the world and the stands he took more than his fights.
Of all the boxers in history, who do you wish you could’ve fought, and how would the fight have played out?
I don’t want to give you a result, but I would say Sugar Ray Robinson, because in my opinion, he is the best fighter who ever lived. And I would want to see how I would stand up against the best fighter ever to wear a pair of gloves.
Sugar Ray Robinson had everything-great punch selection, the skills, the jab, the speed. He was a tremendous fighter. I’ve never seen anybody as good before or since.
This was during a time when guys were fighting with six-ounce horsehair gloves two or three times a month. They were doing that against the best competition. Maksudku, he would fight Jake LaMotta and Kid Gavilan in 15-round fights. They just don’t build men like that no more. It doesn’t happen.
Sugar Ray Robinson would bring out the best in me and give me a great gauge about how good I actually am. I would never disrespect Sugar Ray Robinson by saying I would beat him. I respect the legends. I would just like to see how good I would do against those types of guys.
Finish this sentence: If not for boxing, Saya akan …
probably just finishing up college, paying back student loans and being miserable. I would probably be a major in business administration.
What’s the public’s biggest misconception about boxers?
That we’re all stupid.
What’s the hardest you’ve ever been hit, and how you did you deal with it?
Kamu tahu apa, I’m not trying to sound cocky or anything, but I don’t remember. I’ve had some tough fights, but I don’t really recall an opponent who has really hurt me like that.
It’s never been where I was like, “Oh my God, he punches so hard,” atau “He hit me so hard, I couldn’t get myself together.I’ve never experienced that. I’m not saying that it can’t happen; I’m just saying that it hasn’t happened.
Excluding yourself, who’s the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world today?
It’s close, because I don’t think anyone has taken the lead for now. I would probably say Andre Ward, but at the same time he’s had so much time off.
You’ve got guys like Sergey Kovalev out there who have been dismantling everybody, and then you’ve got guys like Guillermo Rigondeaux who is probably the best fighter in the world, but he’s never gotten the opportunity to prove it on the big stage.
Then you’ve got Floyd Mayweather Jr., who I think is the clear-cut best fighter in the world when he’s active. But he’s retired.
It’s just hard to pick one. I couldn’t pick one. I would be able to pick one at the beginning of the next year.
What kind of food is the toughest to give up while training for a fight?
I like pasta and red meat. I don’t eat too much red meat when I’m training, because it’s too hard to cut. I like steak and lamb and pasta. I just like all pasta in general.
Speaking of training, what’s your favorite exercise?
I don’t really have any. I hate them all. I just do them because I have to do them.
What about a favorite punch to throw?
It depends on who I’m fighting, but I would definitely have to say the jab, because the jab sets everything up. That’s usually my range finder, and I can usually control the fight with the jab. I pretty much use it in every fight to good effect.
Do you have a favorite boxing movie?
Raging Bull. I liked Berbatu-batu, also. I mostly liked all of the Berbatu-batu bioskop.
Who is the one artist on your playlist that would surprise fight fans?
Teddy Pendergrass. I grew up with my mother and father liking his music.
Would you rather run over a linebacker or juke him out of his shoes?
That depends on who it is. If it’s [retired Baltimore Ravens legend] Ray Lewis, I would have to juke him. Because I don’t want to be hit by him.
Finish this sentence: People would be surprised to know that
I’m an amazing cook. I can cook a lot of things-pretty much anything.
If you could change one thing in the world, what would it be?
Race relations. The world would be a better place if everybody didn’t see so much color.
What’s on your life’s bucket list?
I want to be a world champion, which I can accomplish in my next fight by beating Jermall Charlo. This is what I’ve been working so hard for my entire life.
I don’t have a bucket-list wish to go skydiving before it’s all over or go to Japan or anything. It’s simple: I’ve been working half of my life to become a world champion, and that’s the most important thing on my bucket list.

Jermall Charlo vs. Julian Williams Media Conference Call Transcript

Richard Schaefer
Terima kasih banyak. And thank you to all the media to be on today’s call. Saya sangat bersemangat. My first boxing conference call after almost three years out of the sport. Jadi, I’m really excited to be at it again.
And what better way to do it than with a double header like this? It’s rare enough to have a match up like Jesus Cuellar versus Abner Mares, which has fight of the year written all over it.
But to have Jermall Charlo versus Julian Williams which is another fight of the year candidateI can tell you that right now. To have two fight of the year candidates, it’s like today’s day and age almost unheard of. Dan sebagainya, it really is a very special treat.
I want to thank first and foremost the fighters for agreeing to these great up match-ups. I want to thank SHOWTIME for the commitment to the sport, to showcase fights like that. Stephen Espinoza goes out there and wants to put together competitive match-ups. And I think he is doing an absolutely terrific job.
But before we begin, I just want to make a brief comment. The sport of boxing lost a great friend yesterday, Todd Harlib, who could be seen in countless fighter’s quarters including Jermall Charlo, who is on the phone with us today.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends and the whole boxing community at this time. Jadi, I’m very sorry about having to report this.
This fight here which we’re discussing today is without any question one of the best fights which can be made in the sport, irrespective of weight class. It is a fight which was really demanded by fight fans and by media.
A lot of people wondered if it was ever going to happen? And here it is. Here it is, one of the most talked about fights, one of the most asked for fights to be seen live on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on December 10th as part of this terrific double header with Cuellar and Mares.
The fight is in association with Premier Boxing Champions live from the Galen Center at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles which is a terrific new state-of-the-art arena where the basketball and volleyball teams of the university play as well. It has hosted a fight there as well before with the heavyweight title fight with Bermane Stiverne and Chris Arreola.
Jadi, if you live in and around the Los Angeles area or somewhere in Southern California, silahkan, make sure you come out and be part of this terrific doubleheader. Tickets are available and are starting at as little as $35.00. Fantastic seats for $35.00
Untuk membeli tiket, silahkan, pergi ke www.galentix.com.
It is a pleasure now to introduce to you our co-promoter. This fight is a co-promotion between Ringstar Sports and TGB Promotions. Tom Brown is very familiar with the arena there at the Galen Center. He was the one who put together the fight with Stiverne and Arreola back in the days. And so it’s a pleasure now to turn it over to Tom Brown to make a few comments.
Tom Brown
Dengan Baik, terima kasih banyak, Richard. I just want to say that TGB Promotions is thrilled to be partnered once again with Stephen Espinoza and the great team at SHOWTIME along with Richard Schaefer and Ringstar Sports.
I’m also happy to back on the beautiful campus of the University of Southern California at the Galen Center.
The idea of championship fight between Charlo and Julian Williams isas Richard just mentionedis a can’t miss match-up between two of the best junior middleweights in the world.
Jadi, ini, along with the main eventthe WBA Featherweight Championship fight between Cuellar and Mares makes it a can’t miss night. And like Richard said, two possible fight of the year candidate fights.
Richard and I are working out putting together an action packed under card which will be announced very soon. Jadi, we’re looking forward to a great night on December 10th at a great venue with even greater fights. Terima kasih banyak.
R. Schaefer
Terima kasih banyak, Tom. Now the next man I’m going to introduce is a good friend of mine. We have known each other for a long time. And we put together some of the biggest fights in the past. Kembali di 2013 when we were on fire.
Everybody recognized SHOWTIME as the leader in the sport of boxing. And that is because of Stephen Espinoza. Stephen is first and foremost a fan. And he likes to sit there and see great match ups. And that’s exactly what you’re getting here.
Jadi, we as fight fans. We as members from the media being promoters or whatever, we can really benefit from Stephen’s passion of putting together these amazing fights.
Jadi, it’s a pleasure for me to introduce to you nowI know his title is Executive Vice President in charge of Sports but I’m calling him the President of SHOWTIME Sports. I alwaysand I always did that. Ingat?
Stephen Espinoza
Iya Nih, anda benar. Since the first day I had this job. Terima kasih, Richard. We’re thrilled to be working with Richard and Ringstar and Tom Brown and TGB once again. And a special welcome Richard, who we are happy to see back in the sport. Not just because he’s my friend but because he is one of the standup guys in the sport. Very professional and a straight shooter. It’s something that this sport can use more of.
Jadi, the combination of Tom and Richard is two straight arrowsas straight as they come. And I’m thrilled to be working with both of them.
This year SHOWTIME really has continued to deliver the biggest and best fights. And I think there’s really no question that we’ve had the strongest lineup of the best and most significant match ups of any network in boxing.
2016 so far has included two fight of the year contenders, a KO of the year contender. Fight after fight of top ten opponent versus top ten.
And as we wrap 2016 and go into 2017, we are definitely looking to keep that momentum going. We recently announced seven great match ups – 14 teratas 10 fighters taking on each otherin six world title fights.
And we could go on and on about the numbers. Three fights which are number one versus number two in the division. But among the pleasures of doing that is getting to make fights like this one.
Ever since Floyd retired, going on a little more than a year ago, there’s one question that personally I get and all of us here at SHOWTIME get consistently.
And that’s, kamu tahu, who’s the next star? Who’s the next super star? Who’s going to be carrying the sport going forward. And the good thing about this sport of boxing is that that gets determined in the ring. I can’t tell you.
Even if I were to pick two or there that I thought would develop that way, lookthey’ve got to perform in the ring. But it’s fights like this one. Seperti, Jermall Charlo versus Julian Williams, that determine who are the next stars.
We’ve got two young fighters in the peaks of their career. One world champion who’s established himself as really one of the future stars of the sport. And taking on one of the toughest contenders in any division in Williams.
We’re very proud of both of these fighters. They both been home grown here on SHOWTIME. Jermall has fought with us five times before. Julian has been on SHOWTIME seven times. Jadi, we’re proud that both of the role that SHOWTIME has played in both their careers.
Tapi yang lebih penting, we’re proud that these guys stepped up to take this kind of fight. Jermall Charlo was seen as one of the most exciting, muda, champions in the sport. He’s defended that title successfully, built a fan base in his hometown of Houston, and really looks to really take over the division and elevate to the star echelon of the sport.
Julian Williams has been a guy that people have quietly identified as one of the rising stars for quite some time. I know he’s been patiently waitingand sometimes not so patiently waitingfor his shot. And so I know he’ll be ready.
I think it’s somewhat fitting that this fight is taking on December 10th, a week before the very legendary Philadelphia world champion Bernard Hopkins retires. Philly fighters are a long tradition. And it takes a lot of work and a special kind of individual to be called a Philly fighter. Just fighting in Philly doesn’t make you a Philly fighter. And I know Julian is poised to carry that title of Philly fighter very proudly and actively for many years to come.
Jadi, of all the fights that we’ve announced. And there’s a lot of quality fights. Pertarungan ini – the Charlo-Williams fightis one of the ones that I’m most excited about. Two young guys at the peaks of their career really battling to determine who could be controlling this division for a long time to come.
This will help determine who are the future stars of our sport. Richard?
R. Schaefer
Terima kasih banyak, Stephen, very well said. And for me, we all know they are terrific fighters. They’re both are undefeated. I’ve known themboth of themfor a long time. I’ve been involved with many of their fights.
They are terrific young men outside of the ring as well. And just as good as it gets inside of the ring. Jadi, they’re reallyboth of themthey carry the total package. And you’re right, Stephen, he has patience and sometimes not so patiently been waiting.
It is a pleasure for me now to introduce to you Julian Williams, who is trained by Stephen Edwards. He’s the number one ranked contender by the IBF in the Junior Middleweight division. And he secured his top ranking after stopping Marcello Matano in the 7th round in March.
He’s undefeated with a record of 22-0-1, 14 KO, Julian Williams.
Julian Williams
Hei, how’s everybody doing? First I want to send my thoughts prayers out to Todd Harlib and his whole family and loved ones. He was a great guy. He was a great cut man and even better guy. And I consider him as a friend. I think it’s a sad time right now, jadi, I just want to do that first of all.
Training’s been going really well. We’ve got a really good team and lots of good sparring. We have a really good camp so far. I think this is a really, really good fight. I think it was a fight that hardcore boxing fans needed to see.
It’s a fight that had to happen. I commend Charlo for stepping up and being a true champion. And I want to show the world what I already know. I’m extremely motivated. And I know Jermall is motivated too.
Jadi, I think you guys are going to see a real shoot-out. He’s got all the tools and skills. And I’ve got all the tools and skills. And you’re going to see who comes out on top on this night.
Dan aku 100% sure it’ll be me.
R. Schaefer
. Now Jermall Charlo and his brothers, dengan baik, I’ve known them since their first fight. And what a journey it has been.
Today he is the undefeated IBF Junior Middleweight World Champion. He’s training with Ronnie Shields. One of the most legendary trainers out of Houston, Texas.
He won his title by stopping Cornelius Bundrage in the third-round last September. And has defended his belt already twice including a unanimous decision victory over formervery game world championAustin Trout in May.
And it’s a pleasure now for me to introduce to you again, somebody I’ve introduced before many times. The IBF Junior Middleweight World Champion, Jermall Charlo.
Jermall Charlo
Terima kasih, Richard. Like Julian said, Todd was my man. And I want to give his family and everyone that’s close to Todd my prayers and my condolences.
I hear Julian talk about he’s 100% siap. And he’s 100% sure he’s going to win this fight. But I’ve heard that before. I’m ready for the stakes. I’m ready for this level. Sorry the fight took so long. It wasn’t necessarily up to me. But I think everything happens for a reason. And it’s perfect timing and I can’t wait to get in there and show the world what I’m actually made of against a guy that’s so highly confident about the things that I do.
R. Schaefer
Baik. I agree with you. Things do happen for a reason. I’m very happy that I’m the one who has the honor to promote this fight and this entire card. I know it’s going to be toe-to-toe battles with the two of you.
And I know with Cueller and Mares as well. They say styles make fights. I think those styles of those four fighters are perfectly done. And I just can’t wait for December 10th at the Galen Center and live on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING.
We are going to open it now to the media for questions for any of the participants on the call.
Q
Jermall, I know that you had to have a procedure that you did voluntarily on your eye. Can you give me any details about that? What exactly was the issue? Was it just a matter of, seperti, you’re as blind as a bat? Or was there something else that was going on there?
J. Charlo
It wasn’t necessarily voluntarily. I pretty much had some vision problems up to my last fight in Las Vegas.
I fought the fight. I adjusted myself to be able to fight unclear. So now I got the procedure done. Iya Nih, the fight was supposed to happen in October. And I wanted it then. But it was just for me to be able to clear the medical exam. Less stress now to go ahead and go 20/20 and I’m ready now.
Like I said everything happens for a reason. And crystal clear vision is one of the things that helps me make the fight easier.
Q
And which eye was it, ngomong-ngomong, Jermall?
J. Charlo
Both eyes.
Q
Both of them? Baik, and now you feel like a new person?
J. Charlo
Saya m 110%, crystal clear, Saya baik. Saya siap.
Q
How much better will that make you? That you can now see clearly. I mean your fighting skills are one thing. But now you can see the target, jelas, much better it sounds like. I mean do you think that will make you a much better, precise fighter?
J. Charlo
It gives me a lot more confidence. Tentu saja, it’s something important and I probably had to get it. I haven’t fought with crystal clear vision my whole life.
So now I’m even more motivated motivated. I’m eager to get in there to see what the new person is like.
Q
Did you think about having this earlier in your career?
J. Charlo
Iya Nih, I always wanted it. I always wanted it. But I’m a superstitious guy. Jadi, I like to keep things, the way I always wanted. It’s just something I feel like it’s going to take me to the next level.
Q
Some people suggested maybe he would vacate the title and go up to middleweight to not fight you. When all that was happening and you were sitting there as a mandatory for himwhat was your personal feeling about what was going on?
J. Williams
I didn’t really know about the medical situation until about mid-September.
I actually thought that he would fight. And not think about the notion that he would vacate. The fact that he kept complaining about weight the previous fights. If the fight was being delayed, people are going to start saying this is how boxing is.
But I didn’t think that he wasI thought that he was putting the fight off for whatever reason. Tapi seperti saya katakan, at the time I didn’t know what the reason was.
All that is under the bridge. It doesn’t even matter anymore. The fight is December 10th. You know what I mean. He said he’s going to bring his A game. He’s got 20/20 vision. I had 20/20 vision my whole life. Now we’re even.
Jadi, there will be no excuses.
Q
When you found out that it was finally done and it was good to go. And SHOWTIME was going to announce it and the fight was on. What was your feeling? Was it relief? Was it excitement?
J. Williams
I just felt like I wanted to get to work. The whole process has made me practice my patience.
I wasn’t overly excited because I knew I would fight for the world title my next fight with someone. I was more so like let’s look at the work. I want to start training camp immediately and get myself ready to win.
Q
Was there any frustration that you guys were not in the main event? And that you’re in a co-feature. Or did you kind of understand because Abner Mares is Southern California. And that’s the reason why you guys are put in the co-feature.
J. Charlo
Richard Schaefer is a good promoter. He has a lot of experience in the game. I’m not worried about being the opening or the main event or any of that.
Tentu saja, I’m tired of being in second place. I feel like Kevin Durant. But it’s not in the sense of, seperti, nothing I can do about it.
Q
And then Julian, same question for you. Is there any surprise that you guys were put in the co-feature and not the main event?
J. Williams
Untuk menjadi jujur ​​dengan Anda, I didn’t really even think about it. I just want to get in the ring and put some gloves on so we can get this thing going.
I think everything happens for a reason. Abner Mares is a really good fighter. He’s like a three division champion. He earned his stripes.
Jadi, jelas, we’ve got more work to do before we can headline the card. Jadi, I didn’t think about it and on top on of that I never thought about.
R. Schaefer
The fact is you’re absolutely right. Each one of those events could be a main event. And in any other network would be a main event. Some other networks would probably even make it a pay-per-view.
Jadi, that’s how good this card is. It could have very easily brrn Charlo-Williams is the main event if it would have been in Philly. It would have been. If it would have been in Houston, it would have been.
It’s in LA in Southern California. Jadi, that’s why we have Cuellar and Mares. This is about creating excitement. It’s about the fans and so on. All four of those guys are just terrific champions. That’s what they are. Terrific people. It doesn’t really impact one way or the other.
S. Espinoza
And I’ll add from the network perspective, one of the things that we were grateful for in working with fighters like these and promotors like Tom and Richard is, what we want to put together as far as blockbuster events, we don’t have those ego problems.
Richard is absolutely right. Not every network programs this way. But what we’re trying to dowe as a group of fighters, promotor, manajer, is show off the best this sport has to offer.
Jadi, we’re really over delivering on each card. This clearly could’ve been a main event in Houston or Philly or anywhere else. But the idea was, this was going to be a slate of A++ level fights top to bottom.
And that requires the commitment of everybody. And people realizing it’s about not having ego. And just realizing that rising tide lifts all boats.
Q
Jermall, where do you think Julian Williams rates as an opponent?
J. Charlo
We’re both on the way up to the top level. He’s definitely one of my best opponents up to this date. He’s hungry as me. I’m not necessarily worried about any of the things he said about being as hungry as he is to be fighting me. I was that guy too. Being ready to fight K9 and waiting and waiting.
He’s my toughest opponent. And I’m ready for it.
Q
Tell us about taking this fight. And why it’s important to you.
J. Charlo
Every fight is a hard fight. Every fight I have to come out and give my best and be on my A-game. So it’s a good fight to me technically. This is the Roy Jones and Bernard Hopkins back in middleweight type of fight. We’re going to get down and get ready. I’m ready for it.
This part of our legacy is everything that I’ve wanted, growing up as a young fighter, young champion. Seeing these great fights being broadcast on SHOWTIME. And it’s, seperti, now is my turn. And I have to deliver everything that I’ve always wanted. And that is something I’ve been waiting for.
And it just so happens it has to be Julian Williams. And like I said we both came up the hard route. It wasn’t, seperti, as easy as I give my hand off to my challenger being one of the best in the world. And that’s kind of what I want to be classified as.
Q
Julian, also, you’ve been very vocal about this fight. Tell us why you’re so confident you’re going to be able to win this fight.
J. Williams
I’m confident because of what I can do.
I’m confident because I want to be the junior middleweight champion of the world. I think Jermall’s a good fighter. But he doesn’t recognize the scene before. He’s engaged, kuat, and fast. I just want to make sure we have no excuses about weight and that kind of talk.
J. Charlo
No weight problem. There’s no weight problem. Get that out of your mind. There’s no weight problem. I’ll tell you everybody knows.
Q
You had talked about Todd Harlib earlier. Can you elaborate on what he meant to you? And the confidence he brought to you as a cutman?
J. Charlo
Todd taught me a lot. He meant a lot to me also. Ronnie Shields and Todd elaborated about how long they’d been around the boxing game and seen the same things they’re seeing now.
Todd, meant a lot. Just spoke to him, seperti, a couple of days ago because he sent me a few guys to work with. I know he had went over to Russia and caught a little bug. But I didn’t think it would be nothing. I prayed for him. And hoped he got better.
It’s like I said, it just happened to be something that, I can’t control. Jadi, I just have to keep fighting. And hope that my next cut man is just as good as Todd. I’ve even been across the ring and looked at Todd working on another guy. And he came talked to me and let me know that it was just all business. And Jermall, just stay focused. Don’t worry about anybody.
I’m just putting the fight in God’s hands. And hoping that I never have to need the urgency to need Todd again.
Q
I spoke to Ronnie, he said that you told him that this fight is going to be a little more special because you’re going to possibly dedicate this fight to him. Is that going to take any form representing his name on your robe or your trunks or anything like that?
J. Charlo
Iya Nih, I’m dedicating this fight to Todd. Actually once we map everything out. But I want to keep talking about it.
I dedicate this fight to Todd. He’s a real close friend of mine. And it’s just unfortunate for me to have to get in the locker room and not have Todd helping me out and everything like that. So of course, I feel some sadness about him not being here. But I know he’s in good hands. So that’s the main thing.
Q
Is this fight right here the first one that really will test you and perhaps take you to the next level and start to light that fuse for you?
J. Williams
Iya Nih, pasti. Sudah Pasti. Whenever you’ve got a 50/50 pertarungan, two guys 26-years-old both in the prime of their careers. It’s going to be a test for both fighters.
It’s rare we see two fighters get in the ring in this type of fight. So I think it’s definitely the first step in building my legacy.
Q
Richard, what does this fight represent in the scheme of this division which is a stacked division and these two fighters in particular?
R. Schaefer
I think you have two of the best fighters in their division fighting in this particular fight. And so this is an extremely significant fight for the division. And these are twosomebody said beforethese are two young undefeated and confident fighters who dare to be great.
At this point in their career fighting each other they dare to be great. And that is. These kinds of fights will separate one from the other. And I think the sky is the limit here for within that division and potentially other divisions.
But that’s how you build a champion into a star and then a super star. These kinds of fights, kamu tahu, these kinds of meaningful fights. And in order for that to happen, you need to have two fighters who are willing to challenge themselves.
And as I said, dare to be great.
Q
Jermall, what weaknesses do you see in Julian Williams that you plan to exploit on fight night?
J. Charlo
Nothing, he’s a strong guy. Whatever you all want to say about him. He’s good, old-school fighter. I’m tired of hearing questions about what he’s done or what he does.
I’m a champion for a reason. I’m staying champion. I don’t plan on moving. I don’t plan on none of that stuff that you all talked about. Saya baik.
Q
What do you consider your biggest advantage going into this fight?
J. Charlo
That I’m not supposed to go and be in some superstar. Lihat. Ini bisnis. I’m betting and fighting for everything that boxing has to offer.
And my advantage is being focused and humble and strong-minded like I’ve always been.
Q
Untuk kedua pejuang, how important is building a new chapter in your career? And maybe a new idol in boxing.
J. Williams
Aduh, it’s an extremely big fight. I think whoever wins this fight is going to be considered the best junior middleweight in the world. I think whoever wins the fight will have the most significant win in the junior middleweight division.
I think since Canelo was basically says he’s not fighting in this division. Whoever wins the fight is going to be king of the division.
Jadi, I think it’s extremely, extremely important.
J. Charlo
Very big fight, very important fight for me, clinch the division. Ini akan menjadi pertarungan yang bagus, satu. I’m ready to just give everything I have. It’s going to be a good fight for me. And it’s going to be a good fight for Julian. We both hit it big and we both need to give the fans what they want to see. Jadi, it’s that time.
Q
Richard, how important for you was what this first event with Ringstar Sports would be? And for Stephen, how important was having these great fights for Showtime this year?
S. Espinoza
Dengan Baik, from the SHOWTIME perspective, our goal is to provide spectacular fights every month or more often if we can. Sometimes dues to scheduling or injuries or things, there are some gaps in our schedule.
But once we came back, we wanted to end the year strong. And really, send a message about our commitment to the sport. Jadi, with the help of the promotors, the managers, and most importantly the fighters, we’re able to put together a slate that is stronger than anything we’ve seen again in recent boxing programming schedule. It really is all without the use of pay-per-view. And it’s all top guy versus top guy.
It’s something that is very special to us. We’re very proud of. And we’re looking to continue it throughout all of 2017.
R. Schaefer
Dengan Baik, and for me, I think my reputation speaks for itself. I like to put together big events, significant fights, and that’s what I’ve always done.
And this right here is no exception to come back and together promote a card which consists without any question of two potential Fight of the Year candidates. Two barn burners in one night is a dream come true.
And to do that for my hometown. To do it from the University of Southern California, USC, Galen Center the newest indoor venue in Los Angeles. And the university where two of my sons go to school. It’s a very special night for me.
And it’s a very special night as well because Charlo and Williams and Mares and CuellarI have known these young men for a long time. So really it’s niceit’s like a coming home or coming back.
Since this was the last question, Saya mengerti, I’d like to thank you all. But I want to make one comment. Iya Nih, they both have 20/20 vision. But let there be no question about it. The name of this card is 50/50. And you know why it’s 50/50.
Because these two fights are 50/50 perkelahian. Dan sebagainya, may the better man win that night. Sebagai penggemar, Saya senang. I can’t wait for December 10th. Mohon Untuk, silahkan, make it out to Galen Center. Untuk $35.00 you can watch two of the best fights of the year in one night at the Galen Center. Or if you can’t make it there. Then make sure you turn in on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING at 10:00 pm ET/7:00 pm PT. I’m looking forward to see you all during fight week. And thank you very much.

Berikut adalah apa yang para peserta harus mengatakan Hari Kamis about the highly anticipated night of action:

 

YESUS Cuellar

 

“I’ve been wanting to fight Mares for about two years. It’s finally going to happen. This is what I want. I’m going to make a statement.

 

“I’m very happy that this fight is finally here. I can’t wait to get in the ring on Bulan Desember 10. I’m thankful for the opportunity. I know Mares is popular in Los Angeles, but I have a following as well and they will be there to support me.

 

“I’m training very hard and feeling physically strong. We never stopped training for this fight. Mares will come prepared for a war and I hope that’s what the fight is like. It’s going to prove who has the bigger heart.

 

“I’ve been training with Freddie Roach for about four months. It’s been a great partnership and he will make me even better than I’ve been. We’ve been practicing really hard. Freddie is handing me the tools to go to work. You will see all my experience come together on fight night.

 

“Mares is a great fighter. He’s been a champion for many years. He’s never faced an opponent like me. This will be his hardest challenge.

 

“I’m sure Mares will give it his all, just like I will. I’ve been dreaming about this fight for years. This will be a great battle, but I am prepared to take my belt back to Argentina.

 

“This is the most important fight of my career. I’m planning on knocking him out. I know that big things are going to come my way after I beat Mares.”

 

Abner MARES

 

“This is going to be a smarter Abner Mares. I’ve been learning a lot with Robert Garcia. They gave us a year to train and learn together. He’s a knowledgeable coach. He’s not just a guy who works mitts. This is the real deal. He gets you better and I’m really happy with him.

 

“I want to thank Cuellar and his team for waiting for this fight to come to fruition. I really appreciate that as a person. Ini akhirnya di sini.

 

“I was actually commentating the Stiverne vs. Arreola fight at Galen Center and it was a great atmosphere. The environment there is incredible and I was just imagining being up in the ring as the main event.

 

“I want the winner of the Frampton vs. Santa Cruz rematch. I want to continue to fight the best. I want to be known as a guy who fights the best.

 

“Being on the big stage like this has made me what I am. Being on the bantamweight tournament on SHOWTIME really started to show people what my style is like. To be back for another world opportunity, it means everything to me. I’m hoping to give them another exciting fight.

 

“I never talk down about a fighter. We all deserve our respect. We all have the same desire to strive to be the best. Cuellar is a beast. He hits hard. The record speaks for itself and that’s what has me so excited. This is the kind of fight I want to be in. Ini membawa yang terbaik dari saya.

 

“If I have to make it into a brawl, I will do that. I have the boxing abilities to be the smarter fighter and win by out boxing him. I learn from all of my fights, especially the losses. From the Santa Cruz fight I learned that I really need to listen to my corner. I let the crowd get to me and fought the wrong fight. I’m going to be ready for everything.

 

“This title coming home is going to be a nice Christmas present. It means the world to me. I’m going to add something to my trophy case.

 

“I’m a new man. I’m a grown man. I have two beautiful daughters. I like to learn something new every day. You will see a different Abner on Bulan Desember 10. This is going to end the year with the ‘Fight of the Year.’”

 

ROBERT GARCIA, Mares’ Trainer

“I’m thankful to Cuellar and his team for giving us this opportunity. He’s a good person who trains very hard and gives 100 percent all the time.

 

“I’ve been working with Abner almost this whole year. The dates for the fight have changed but now we have had a lot of time to get to know each other. We’ve been working side-by-side and we’ve had a lot of time to learn about each other.

 

“I think everybody should come out to this fight or watch on SHOWTIME, because it’s going to be one of the best fights of the year. I guarantee it.”

 

SEBASTIAN CONTURSI, Cuellar’s Manager

 

“Here we go again. It’s been a long process and there have been a lot of people who have helped get us to this.

 

“I want to thank Mares and his whole team for taking this fight. Hal ini akan menjadi perang. There’s no doubt about it. We love Robert, but we will have our back and forth leading up to this one. These are boxing war times, but he is a great person. But now we are with another one of the best trainers in the world, none other than Freddie Roach.

 

“Cuellar doesn’t live in Los Angeles. He actually still lives in Argentina. But he has stayed in Los Angeles throughout this whole process. He’s been away from his friends and family for almost nine months, but he has not complained once or asked to go home. That just shows the kind of professional that Jesus Cuellar is.”

 

RICHARD Schaefer, Ketua & CEO Ringstar Olahraga

 

“I’m truly excited to be here with all of you. This night will feature two top-notch matchups and four guys who are at the pinnacle of their respective divisions. I’m really excited for this to be my first event back.

 

“This is a statement fight for Jesus Cuellar. It’s the biggest fight of his career. But he has passed every test so far. He’s a true warrior, as all Argentine fighters are. He’s a big puncher with a sterling record. This is a tough challenge, but he has every intention of keeping that belt.

 

“Abner Mares is a true warrior and you will all have the opportunity on Bulan Desember 10 to go after a fourth world title against a strong champion in Jesus Cuellar, who has defended his title five times. But that is the kind of person Abner Mares is. He’s going to test himself against the best there is.

 

“I’m happy to be back and hopefully I’ll be able to add to this great sport of boxing. We’re here in a first class venue today and this is the kind of venue deserving of boxing. Boxing is about entertainment, and if you were to pick four boxers to put on an entertaining card, these would be them.

 

“These are going to be tremendous fights. Styles makes fights. Mares has been waiting for this opportunity and Cuellar is going to fight to keep his title. This is one of the most talked about fights around. It’s going to be all toe-to-toe action from the start to the finish.

 

“Two of the best matches in the sport are happening right here in Los Angeles on the same night. This is the best fighting the best and Los Angeles will be buzzing.

 

“It’s very special to be able to do my first event back in Los Angeles. To have two exciting, toe-to-toe battles on this card is great. Then the cherry on top is the opportunity to work with a man like Abner Mares. I met him at the 2004 Olympics and I was always impressed with his style and his personality and how he carries himself. "

 

BRITTANY GOOSSEN BROWN, TGB Promosi

 

“We’re thrilled to be here working on another great night of boxing. Bersama Sama, with the matchmaking expertise of my father, Tom Brown, and Richard’s promotional talent, this has the makings of an excellent collaboration.

 

“We’re especially looking forward to working with the great staff at the Galen Center. We were here once before, for the heavyweight world title fight between Chris Arreola and Bermane Stiverne. That was a sold out night and I have a feeling this one will be too.

 

“Los Angeles has the best fight fans in the world and I know that they will be there to support these great fighters.”

 

CHRIS DEBLASIO, SVP Sports Communications at Showtime Networks

 

SHOWTIME continues to deliver the strongest lineup of any network in boxing, bar none.

“We’re proud to be showcasing these two world title fights on the network. These fights exemplify what SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING is all about.

 

“Mares and Cuellar might be the most evenly matched of the five featherweight championship fights we have presented on SHOWTIME this year. And we know that Jermall Charlo vs. Julian Williams, the latest in a series of fights at junior middleweight, will determine the future of the deep and talented division.”

BROOKLYN (Bulan Juni 26, 2016) – Perebutan hadiah kembali ke CBS pada hari Sabtu dengan kandidat Fight of the Year sebagai juara dunia kelas welter yang tak terkalahkan Keith Thurman mengalahkan mantan juara dunia Shawn Porter dalam keputusan yang dekat namun bulat 115-113 oleh ketiga juri di tepi ring.

 

Itu 12,718 penggemar yang hadir di Barclays Center di Brooklyn dan pemirsa di seluruh AS. menonton acara tinju primetime pertama di CBS sejak Muhammad Ali-Leon Spinks masuk 1978 disuguhi slugfest antara dua bintang paling cemerlang di divisi glamor tinju.

 

Thurman (27-0, 22 Biaya) dan Porter (26-2-1, 16 Biaya) dikombinasikan untuk melempar 1200 pukulan di SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING di acara CBS, dipersembahkan oleh Juara Tinju Premier. Pertikaian tenda adalah kisah akurasi vs. aktivitas, saat Thurman mendarat 50 persen tembakan kekuasaannya, dibandingkan dengan 38 persen untuk Porter, dan 44 persen dari total pukulannya dibandingkan dengan adil 36 persen untuk penantang. Sedangkan Thurman mendarat dengan persentase lebih tinggi, Porter adalah petarung yang lebih sibuk, melemparkan 100 lebih banyak pukulan 12 putaran.

 

“Satu Kali” dan “Waktu Pertunjukan” dikirimkan seperti yang diiklankan, dengan penembak jitu yang kuat menekuk Porter beberapa kali, sementara Porter yang mengerumuni dan mencekik itu berlari ke depan untuk menggertak Thurman hingga ke tali. Dan sejauh ini tidak ada knockdown, blockbuster bolak-balik tidak pernah kekurangan aksi dan mencapai puncaknya dengan tepuk tangan meriah di acara tinju yang paling banyak dihadiri kedua dalam sejarah Barclays Center.

 

“Saya ingin berterima kasih kepada Shawn Porter atas pertarungan yang luar biasa. Dia seorang pejuang yang hebat,kata Thurman. “Pertahanan adalah kunci kemenangan. Dia banyak menahan pukulannya dan menyulitkan juri untuk mencetak gol. Saya mampu mengguncangnya dengan jelas, pukulan yang efektif dan saya yakin itulah perbedaannya hari ini.

 

“Saya akan memberinya pertandingan ulang. Itu adalah pertarungan yang hebat. Dia adalah lawan yang hebat. Semua orang mengatakan apakah dia akan menjadi lawan terberat saya hingga saat ini. Saya tidak bisa menjatuhkannya tetapi saya berhasil mengikatnya beberapa kali.”

Mantan juara dunia Porter, seorang yang selalu diunggulkan tetapi pria yang sempurna, tidak mengeluh karena kalah dalam keputusan kedua yang diambilnya dalam perebutan gelar.

 

“Kami bekerja keras, Keith adalah seorang juara yang hebat,kata Porter. “Ayahku menyuruhmu untuk tetap tegak. Saya pikir saya memenangkan pertarungan, tapi saya puas karena pesaingnya keluar malam ini.

 

“Kami membutuhkan pertandingan ulang itu. Saya tahu para penggemar menginginkan pertandingan ulang itu. Jika dia memberiku kesempatan lagi, Saya akan bekerja keras di atas ring dan pulang dengan gelarnya.”

 

Pertarungan pembukaan siaran CBS menampilkan pertarungan kelas welter super yang tak terkalahkan sebagai Jarrett Hurd lulus dari prospek menjadi pesaing sah di kelas bertumpuk 154 pon dengan mendominasi 10th menyelesaikan TKO Oscar Molina.

 

Hurd (18-0, 12 Biaya) harus bekerja lebih awal, menjatuhkan Molina untuk pertama kalinya dalam karirnya di ronde pembuka dengan pukulan counter kanan yang kuat. Hurd yang lebih besar dan tinggi adalah petarung yang lebih aktif sejak awal, membongkar atlet Olimpiade Meksiko yang sebelumnya tidak terkalahkan dengan permainan dalam yang sangat efektif. 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

KELAS WELTER TERBAIK: PEMENANG THURMAN-PORTER TERLALU DEKAT DENGAN PANGGILAN

Ini Hari Sabtu, Bulan Juni 25, Langsung di Primetime di 9 p.m. DAN/6 p.m. PT CBS
Klik DISINI Untuk Video Prediksi Petarung PBC
NEW YORK (Bulan Juni 22, 2016) – Rekan mereka di divisi kelas welter – Juara dunia, mantan juara, pesaing dan prospek teratas – tidak dapat memilih pemenang pasti antara mempertahankan raja WBA seberat 147 pon Keith “Satu Kali” Thurman (26-0, 22 Biaya) dan mantan juara dunia “Showtime” Shawn Porter (26-1-1, 16 Biaya).
Mayoritas pejuang melakukan jajak pendapat – beberapa di antaranya merupakan lawan potensial yang akan menjadi pemenang – condong ke arah Thurman, tapi sebagian besar mengakui hal itu Sabtu acara utama yang ditunggu-tunggu dari SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® di acara CBS, dipersembahkan oleh Juara Tinju Premier (9 p.m. DAN/6 p.m. PT) di Barclays Center akan menjadi pertandingan yang intens, menarik, pertarungan ketat dari awal hingga akhir yang bisa berjalan baik.
Beginilah pandangan para petinju “Thurman vs. Memakai”:
Danny Garcia (WBC kelas welter Champion): “Saya pikir ini adalah pertarungan yang hebat. Thurman memiliki kemampuan tinju dan pergerakan sementara Shawn Porter adalah agresor dan dia akan membawa panas.. Sejujurnya itu adalah a 50-50 pertarungan, tapi saya akan memberikan keunggulan kepada Keith Thurman dengan keputusan yang sangat dekat.”
Kell Brook (IBF kelas welter Champion):”Ini pertarungan yang hebat, yang saya tidak sabar untuk menontonnya. Jika Shawn bisa tetap berpegang pada tinju, saya pikir dia bisa menjadi juara dunia lagi dalam hal poin, tapi Keith bertangan besi dan dia bisa mengantar Shawn ke sana – ini benar-benar pertarungan pilih-pilih untukku.”
Errol Spence Jr. (Tak terkalahkan kelas welter Contender): “Saya pikir ini adalah pertarungan hebat antara petarung muda dengan skill bagus. Shawn banyak melakukan pukulan sedangkan Thurman adalah petinju yang juga bisa melakukan pukulan. Saya tahu Shawn akan menjadi agresif dan ini akan menjadi pertarungan yang hebat. Jika Keith bisa bertinju dan menahan Shawn Porter di luar, saya melihat Keith Thurman menang. Jika Shawn tetap di dalam dan tetap di dada Keith, Saya melihat dia menang.”
Berto lainnya (Mantan Juara Kelas Welter): “Shawn akan datang, tapi menurut saya Keith akan waspada dan juga melakukan pukulan keras saat Shawn masuk. Keith bisa menjadi sangat serba bisa di sana dan memiliki banyak keterampilan hebat, sedangkan Shawn lebih mirip banteng. Keith akan melukai atau menjatuhkan Shawn tetapi akan terus datang sepanjang malam.”
Sammy Vazquez (Tak terkalahkan kelas welter Contender): “Shawn adalah petarung tekanan dan Thurman dulunya adalah petarung tekanan tapi sekarang dia bertinju. Sangat sulit bagi saya untuk memutuskan siapa yang akan menjadi pemenang. Thurman memiliki kekuatan yang bagus. Itu semua tergantung bagaimana Shawn mampu menerima pukulan Thurman. Saya pikir Thurman karena kekuatannya tetapi Shawn akan mewujudkannya 12 putaran.”
Robert Guerrero (Mantan Juara Kelas Welter): “Ini adalah pertarungan yang ingin disaksikan para penggemar. Baik Thurman dan Porter menghadirkan gaya menarik ke atas ring. Saya pikir jika Porter dapat mempertahankan pertarungan di dalam, dia akan memiliki peluang lebih besar untuk menang. Namun Keith Thurman adalah petarung yang sangat cerdas dan kuat serta akan melakukan penyesuaian yang tepat. Saya hanya berpikir Thurman akan mengalahkan Porter. Saya memilih Thurman untuk menang melalui keputusan dalam pertarungan yang sangat sulit.”
Luis Collazo (Mantan Juara Kelas Welter): “Saya tidak yakin siapa yang menjadi favoritnya, tapi aku akan memilih Porter. Saya menyukai gayanya dan menurut saya akan menarik untuk melihat bagaimana Thurman bertahan dengan tekanan yang akan diberikan Porter.”
Devon Alexander (Mantan Juara Kelas Welter): “Ini adalah pertarungan yang sangat menarik. Kedua petarung tersebut adalah petarung tipe maju ke depan dan mereka mengayun ke arah pagar saat melempar. Saya tidak tahu siapa yang akan menjadi pemenang karena mereka memiliki gaya yang mirip. Shawn Porter memiliki kekuatan yang lumayan, tapi dari keduanya Keith memiliki kekuatan lebih besar. Kita lihat saja nanti. Ini tinju.”
