An array of talented fighters from the Los-Angeles area round out the evening as Oxnard’s Hugo “De baas” Centeno Jr. (24-1, 12 KO) competes in a middleweight attraction, voormalige titeluitdager Josesito Lopez (33-7, 19 KO) of Riverside in a six-round welterweight fight and Abner Mares’ jongere broer, Adan Mares (14-1-3, 3 KO) enters the ring in a lightweight bout.
Een volleerd amateur die werd geboren in Kazachstan, maar vecht uit Rusland,Lipinets turned pro in April of 2014 with a decision victory over Franklin Varela. The 27-year-old recorded six knockouts in a row before stepping up in competition and impressing with a victory over Haskell Lydell Rhodes in March 2015 and a knockout of Levan Ghvamichava in March. He kept the momentum going in July when he stopped established contender Walter Castillo in the seventh round. He will challenge the 29-year-old Zappavigna out of New South Wales, Australië. He enters this fight the winner of his last 10 prijsvragen, including his most recent triumph, a sixth-round stoppage of Ik Yang in July.
A highly regarded prospect with an exciting style, the 21-year-old Lubin burst onto the scene looking to finish opponents early as he cements his status as an elite contender. Fighting out of Orlando, he has already taken down experienced veterans including Orlando Lora, Ayi Bruce, Michael Finney and Norberto Gonzalez. He was sensational in November 2015 when he knocked out Alexis Camacho and in January he headlined his first card and dominated Jose De Jesus Macias in his first 10-round bout. He has kept the hot streak going in June by stopping veteran Daniel Sandoval in the third round and dominating veteran Ivan Montero in July.
A tall junior lightweight at more than six feet, the 21-year-old Buurten picked up seven victories in a jam-packed 2015 in which he stopped five opponents inside the distance, including an uppercut left hook combo that ended the night for Manuel Vides last December. The San Antonio-native turned pro in 2013 and is on the fast track towards a world title shot as he most recently defeated Devis Boschiero in a title eliminator in July. Now he looks to stay unbeaten in a matchup against Tapia out of Mendoza, Argentinië.

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

Klik HIER 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, zowel in als buiten de ring. In feite, “J Rock” 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 KO) will be looking to make some of his own December 10 when he challenges 154-pound champion Jermall Charlo at the Galen Center on the campus of USC in Los Angeles (SHOW TIME, 10 p.m. EN/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. Naar mij, 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. Ik bedoel, 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, Ik zou zijn …
… 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?
Weet je wat, 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,” of “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 Rotsachtig, ook. I mostly liked all of the Rotsachtig films.
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

Laat een reactie achter
Richard Schaefer
Hartelijk bedankt. And thank you to all the media to be on today’s call. Ik ben echt enthousiast. My first boxing conference call after almost three years out of the sport. Zo, 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 candidate – I 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. En zo, 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. Zo, 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.
Zo, if you live in and around the Los Angeles area or somewhere in Southern California, alsjeblieft, 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
Om kaartjes te kopen, alsjeblieft, ga naar 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
Goed, hartelijk bedankt, 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 is – as Richard just mentioned – is a can’t miss match-up between two of the best junior middleweights in the world.
Zo, dit, along with the main event – the 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. Zo, we’re looking forward to a great night on December 10th at a great venue with even greater fights. Hartelijk bedankt.
R. Schaefer
Hartelijk bedankt, 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. Terug in 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.
Zo, 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.
Zo, it’s a pleasure for me to introduce to you now – I know his title is Executive Vice President in charge of Sports but I’m calling him the President of SHOWTIME Sports. I always – and I always did that. Onthouden?
Stephen Espinoza
Ja, je hebt gelijk. Since the first day I had this job. Dankjewel, 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.
Zo, the combination of Tom and Richard is two straight arrows – as 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 top 10 fighters taking on each other – in 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, weet je, 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, look – they’ve got to perform in the ring. But it’s fights like this one. Zoals, 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. Zo, we’re proud that both of the role that SHOWTIME has played in both their careers.
Maar nog belangrijker, we’re proud that these guys stepped up to take this kind of fight. Jermall Charlo was seen as one of the most exciting, jong, 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 waiting – and sometimes not so patiently waiting – for 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.
Zo, of all the fights that we’ve announced. And there’s a lot of quality fights. Dit gevecht – the Charlo-Williams fight – is 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
Hartelijk bedankt, Stephen, very well said. And for me, we all know they are terrific fighters. They’re both are undefeated. I’ve known them – both of them – for 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. Zo, they’re really – both of them – they 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 knock-outs, Julian Williams.
Julian Williams
He, 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, dus, 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.
Zo, 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.
And I’m 100% sure it’ll be me.
R. Schaefer
. Now Jermall Charlo and his brothers, goed, 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 former – very game world champion – Austin 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
Dankjewel, 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% klaar. 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
Oke. 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, zoals, 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. Ja, 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, trouwens, Jermall?
J. Charlo
Both eyes.
Q
Both of them? Oke, and now you feel like a new person?
J. Charlo
Ik ben 110%, crystal clear, Ik ben goed. Ik ben klaar.
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, blijkbaar, 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. Natuurlijk, 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
Ja, I always wanted it. I always wanted it. But I’m a superstitious guy. Zo, 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 him – what 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 was – I thought that he was putting the fight off for whatever reason. Maar zoals ik al zei, 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. ik had 20/20 vision my whole life. Now we’re even.
Zo, 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.
Natuurlijk, I’m tired of being in second place. I feel like Kevin Durant. But it’s not in the sense of, zoals, 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
Om eerlijk te zijn, 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.
Zo, blijkbaar, we’ve got more work to do before we can headline the card. Zo, 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.
Zo, 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. Zo, 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 do – we as a group of fighters, promotors, managers, is show off the best this sport has to offer.
Zo, 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, zoals, 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, zoals, 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, ook, 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, sterk, 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, zoals, 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. Zo, 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
Ja, 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
Ja, definitief. Zeer Zeker. Whenever you’ve got a 50/50 gevecht, 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 two – somebody said before – these 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, weet je, 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. Ik ben goed.
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. Kijk. It’s a business. 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
Voor beide vechters, how important is building a new chapter in your career? And maybe a new idol in boxing.
J. Williams
Oh, 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.
Zo, I think it’s extremely, extremely important.
J. Charlo
Very big fight, very important fight for me, clinch the division. Het gaat om een ​​goed gevecht te zijn, één. 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. Zo, 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
Goed, 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. Zo, 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
Goed, 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 Cuellar – I have known these young men for a long time. So really it’s nice – it’s like a coming home or coming back.
Since this was the last question, Ik begrijp het, I’d like to thank you all. But I want to make one comment. Ja, 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 gevechten. En zo, may the better man win that night. Als een fan, Ik ben opgewonden. I can’t wait for December 10th. Alsjeblieft, alsjeblieft, make it out to Galen Center. Voor $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.

“This is our second major boxing lineup announcement this year, further proof that no other network is delivering high-quality competitive fights – without relying on PPV – as consistently as SHOWTIME.

Cuellar vs. Mares is the latest in a lineup of action-oriented 126-pound showdowns assembled with the goal of unifying one of the sport’s most talent-laden divisions.

On Dec. 10, there also will be a long-awaited world championship contest between two undefeated 154-pound fighters.

Zaterdag, Jan. 14 – SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING

Super middleweight world champions Badou Jack en James DeGale are set to unify the 168-pound class. Both champions retained their titles on a doubleheader last April 30 op Showtime. Jack kept his WBC belt in a controversial draw with longtime titlist Lucian Bute that many thought Jack clearly won. Earlier that evening, DeGale successfully defended his IBF crown with a unanimous decision over mandated challenger Rogelio Medina. Jack landed 61 procent van zijn macht stoten, while DeGale connected on an astonishing 66 procent van zijn power shots. Nu, Jack and DeGale will face off in a long-awaited unification to determine the No. 1 fighter in the super middleweight division.

The flashy Broner, who has captured titles at 130, 135, 140 en 147 pond, has scored two consecutive knockouts in the super lightweight division. The hard-charging, all-action Granados, who pulled a stunning upset of then-undefeated WBC No. 1 ranked super lightweight Amir Imam in a dominating performance last November on SHOWTIME, thrives in the underdog role and has a deceiving record – his four defeats, all via split or majority decision, have come against opponents with a cumulative record of 52-1.

Thurman has since defended the title twice, including most recently against former world champion Shawn Porter in a potential Fight of the Year thriller in June on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on CBS. Garcia, after conquering the 140-pound division, captured the WBC Welterweight World Championship with an impressive performance against Guerrero in January. Should Garcia defeat Samuel Vargas on November. 12 in een niet-titelgevecht, he and Thurman are set to meet in a marquee unification blockbuster between undefeated champions at the pinnacle of their careers. Garcia vs. Thurman will air live in Primetime on CBS or live on SHOWTIME.

QUEBEC CITY, Canada (November. 29, 2015) - James Degale verdedigde zijn IBF Super middengewicht World Championship in een thriller dan woonplaats favoriet en voormalig kampioen Lucian Bute op zaterdag in de belangrijkste gebeurtenis van Showtime Championship Boxing.

 

Het was de eerste titel verdediging voor Degale, de 2008 Olympisch gouden medaillewinnaar uit Groot-Brittannië, die ging op de weg naar Boston om de titel te winnen van eerder dit jaar en kozen om te verdedigen in vijandig gebied.

 

Bute, die probeerde terug te winnen van de IBF riem verdedigde hij negen keer tussen 2007 en 2012, put on an inspired and gutsy performance in an electric atmosphere to open the new Videotron Centre in Quebec City. But the unbelievable pace, alsmede een arsenaal van bovenhandse rechten, body shots en combo's uit de jongere Degale (22-1, 14 KO) bleek het verschil als DeGale heerste 116-112, 117-111 (tweemaal).

 

"Ik ben jong en ik ben fris. Ik ben nu een piek,” DeGale said. “I’m ready for the best in the world. Met dank aan Bute – Hij is een groot kampioen en geloof me, zal hij terug zijn. "

 

"Zoals ik al zei in het verleden, Hij is een wereld-klasse vechter. Ik heb nog steeds dingen om te werken in de komende drie of vier jaar en ik ga mijn best. "

 

Bute (32-3, 25 KO) didn’t look anything like the fighter that lost to Carl Froch in 2012. But while the 35-year-old stalked the switch-hitting DeGale with a relentless attack, Hij kon niet genoeg doen om de uiterst actieve Brit overmeesteren, die gooide 524 macht stoten in vergelijking met 278 voor Bute.

 

“I think it was a great fight. I did my best tonight,” Bute said. “I think it was a close fight. He’s an Olympic champion, he’s a world champion. If the judges give him the decision I respect that. I’ll be back in the gym to work hard and continue to fight. I think it was a very close fight. I’m happy with my performance and I’ll be back in the gym to get back in the ring one more time.

 

“The last three years were difficult for me. After I lost to Carl Froch that was a very difficult period for me. I took a break, and now I’m back. Ik voel me geweldig, Ik voel me gezond en nu heb ik nog een kans om terug te zijn op de top.

 

“Maybe a few rounds I waited too much and didn’t put the punches together and I let James fight me. When I pushed pressure and pushed back I won the round.”

 

In de opening aanval op Showtime Championship Boxing, Eleider Alvarez verdiende het recht om WBC Light Heavyweight wereldkampioen Adonis Stevenson geconfronteerd met een nauwe meerderheid besluit over Isaac Chilemba, gescoord 114-114, 118-110, 115-113.

 

Alvarez, gerangschikt No. 2 de WBC bij 175 pond, begon snel en gepot rondes tegen de No. 1 ranked contender Chilemba. But Chilemba weathered the storm and fought his way back in the fight as Alvarez couldn’t keep up the pace he established in the earlier rounds.

 

Beide vechters kwam naar buiten met een gevoel van urgentie in de 12th en beslissen strofe en als Chilemba de laatste ronde had gewonnen van de strijd zou zijn beslist een gelijkspel.

 

"Ik wist dat ik moest de latere rondes sterke afmaken, maar ik geloof dat ik genoeg om de strijd te winnen,'Zei Alvarez. “I’m ready to accept the challenge and face Stevenson. Om de wereldkampioen te worden, je moet de kampioen te verslaan. Dus dat is wat ik willen doen. "

 

Mark stelde dat ALVAREZ, die uit de omgeving van Montreal vecht, was de begunstigde van een 'woonplaats beslissing,"Hoewel de rechter die de strijd heerste een gelijkspel was een lokale en de andere twee waren van neutrale gebieden.

 

"Ik dacht dat ik wel genoeg om te winnen,” Chilemba said. “But it is what it is. Ik denk dat je kunt spreken van een woonplaats beslissing. "

 

Na het gevecht, Showtime Sport gastheer Brian Custer zitten met Stevenson om zijn gedachten te krijgen op Alvarez-Chilemba en zijn toekomst.

 

"Het was een dicht fysiek gevecht,” Stevenson said. "Hij (Alvarez) won deze strijd, maar het was heel dichtbij. "

 

"We praten over Kovalev, omdat de WBC gelederen hem nog steeds de No. 1 mededinger. Ik wil deze strijd te gebeuren. The fans want it to happen. I said June is perfect for me. He said ‘OK, Juni,'Kathy Duva zei:' Geen probleem, June.’ Then she said on HBO. Ik zei, 'Vergeet de tv's, let them talk.’ We want the fight to happen. Let the TVs work together and make it happen.

 

“I want to fight Kovalev. That’s the best opportunity for me because I want his titles. Zeker, this fight will happen in June. I don’t have a problem; my team doesn’t have a problem. I want this fight in June.

 

Kovalev is scared. I talked to him, saw it in his eyes that he’s scared of me. It will happen, but I know Kovalev is scared. I want Kovalev. I’m very hungry to get his titles.”

 

Adrian Granados overleefde een eerste ronde knock-down om ongeslagen super lichtgewicht vooruitzicht Amir Imam schok in de opening aanval van de Showtime boksen op SHO EXTREME met een achtste ronde TKO (2:34).

 

Het was een verpletterende nederlaag voor de Imam, die de strijd als Geen ingevoerd. 1 verplichte uitdager van WBC Super Lichtgewicht wereldkampioen Viktor Postol.

 

Imam looked like he was going to finish the fight early after a nice left-right combo floored the Chicago native. But after escaping the first, Granados dicteerde het tempo van de strijd, worked the inside and prevented Imam – considered one of boxing’s most talented young contenders – from establishing his jab. With Imam unable to keep the fight at a distance, Granados picked apart the Don King-promoted fighter. After seven rounds of punishment and Iman gasping for air against the ropes Granados finished his opponent with a series of devastating combo shots.

 

Een uitgelaten Granados (15-3-2, 10 KO), die verliezen voor vechters met een gecombineerd verslag van heeft 49-0, pleitte zijn geval voorleggen aan de verplichte uitdager geworden.

 

"Ik geloof dat ik moet de verplichte uitdager te zijn,” Granados said. “He was in line and I stopped him. Wat betekent dat? Come on. I was the underdog, maar ik kwam net te nemen. Ik kwam om het te nemen.

 

"Het voelt geweldig. Zodra ik had hem wankelde ik was als, 'Je hebt om hem te krijgen nu. This time you’re not taking it from me.’ It was a flash knockdown. Hij ving met de rechterhand, maar ik was goed. Ik dook precies goed en ik wist dat hij zou gaan om te proberen en te voltooien me. We stapte uit en ging meteen weer aan het werk. "

 

Ondanks de demoraliserende verlies, Ik heb (18-1, 15 KO) heeft geen spijt van het nemen van een strijd die hij zal waarschijnlijk knock-out van de titel stelling.

 

"Ik weet dat mensen zouden zeggen dat ik zou niet deze strijd hebben genomen, maar ik moest deze strijd tussen een tune-up voor mijn volgende gevecht, want ik wilde niet te wachten op de zes tot acht maanden voor de wereld titel schot.

 

"De sleutel tot het gevecht was mijn prik, Ik gewoon niet genoeg gebruiken,'Zei de imam. “But that’s the way it goes and I’m going to definitely come back stronger. I wasn’t thinking anything after that first-round knockdown. I’ve done that many times and didn’t think the fight was over. I wasn’t surprised at all by the way he came out. Ik weet hoe hij vecht. Hij is een goede vechter en dat is alles wat er is. "

 

In de opening aanval van de Showtime boksen op SHO EXTREME, ongeslagen zwaargewicht vooruitzicht Oscar Rivas (18-0, 13 KO) knock-out veteraan Joey Abell (31-9, 29 KO) bij :46 van de tweede ronde.

Ik bedoel, we kunnen zeker doen als ik verhuis een gewichtsklasse, maar nu ben ik gefocust op een 140-pond titel shot. Ik wil dat de titel schot in het begin 2016 tegen (de huidige WBC wereldkampioen) Viktor Postol.

ADRIAN GRANADOS

"(Imam's) kreeg een hoop tools en hij is zeer getalenteerd. We nemen het ronde per ronde en aanpassingen als de strijd gaat.

 

"Ik heb goed kaatste. Ik ben niet tevreden met de manier waarop mijn carrière is gegaan en had een veel slechte beslissingen en het beheer van problemen. Ik was niet meegenomen als mijn tegenstander was. Maar het heeft me geholpen te groeien sommige dikke huid en attributen om de reden waarom ik hier ben vandaag.

"Dit is de grootste strijd van mijn carrière en de grootste kans die ik ooit heb gehad. Ik wil alleen maar om ervoor te zorgen Ik pak het en zien er spectaculair uit. "

"Ik zou hem graag willen vechten Adrien Broner volgend jaar. Ik wil graag alle jongens vechten en te verenigen alle titels volgend jaar. Boksen gaat een nieuwe superster nu nodig dat Floyd Mayweather is gegaan, en we zijn niet van plan om te wachten 15 jaar naar een andere te maken. Ik denk dat Amir verenigt alle titels op 140 en 147, dan zouden we ons nieuwe superster binnen hebben 36 maanden.

 

"Hij heeft om zijn jab te gebruiken om te winnen op zaterdag. Hij heeft een mooie jab, de beste prik in het boksen. En alles moet kloppen achter komen. "

"Ik zag hem tegen Carl Froch, zag hem tegen (Rid) Andrade. He’s great in the center of the ring, but I’m not going to stand there. It won’t be a chess match. I’ll start fast and we’ll see how he takes it.

"Carl blootgesteld hem en ik zal hem afmaken. But I don’t care about Carl Froch – he’s old. I’m the new champion. If he wants this belt, hij zal moeten komen halen.

"Dit is mijn kans nu. Ik heb honger en ik heb alles wat ik moest doen om de best mogelijke kamp voor deze strijd hebben gedaan. Ik ben geconfronteerd met een zeer intelligente boxer die technisch uitstekend. Maar ik heb altijd gezegd dat als ik niet de beste gezicht, dan zal ik een gewone boxer blijven.

Maar ik volledig vertrouw op mijn vechter om deze strijd te winnen. Het is zijn kans. "

BUDDY McGirt, The Mark'S Trainer

"Ik wil alleen maar zeggen het is geweldig om een ​​deel van dit evenement. Mr. Degale is de kampioen en hij komt aan de heer. Land Bute's om hem te vechten. Dat is wat boksen behoeften. Het moet meer gevechten als deze om het op de stijging te houden.

"Voor zover onze strijd gaat met de heer. Alvarez, Ik geloof dat naast (Sergey) Kovalev, deze twee zijn de beste licht zwaargewichten in de wereld. En ik denk dat ze moeten vechten voor de titel en niet een eliminator om te zien wie de kampioen vecht. "

"Ik wil bewijzen dat ik ben de beste, Ik zal overal te gaan om het te doen en dat is waarom ik het verdedigen van mijn titel in Canada. Alle wereldkampioenen in Groot-Brittannië hebben grote rivalen op de stoep, dus het is echt een spannende tijd in eigen land maar ook voor het boksen in Groot-Brittannië nu - maar ik ben ervan overtuigd ik sloeg iedereen in deze divisie.

 

"Ik hou van boksen weg van huis – misschien is het tijd dat ik begon te worden genoemd 'de weg warrior'. Ik won mijn wereld titel in Boston en nu ben ik verdedigen in Canada tegen een stijlvolle tegenstander in Lucian Bute. Ik weet dat het gaat om een ​​harde strijd worden, maar ik ben klaar voor die. Mijn sparring is geweldig, Ik ben grote tijden slaan op de baan, Ik voel me sterk in de sportschool en ik ben gewoon naar uit.

 

"Er verandert niets onder Jim McDonnell – het is allemaal over het harde werk, lange runs up Hampstead Heath, 15 round sparring sessies, vijf minuten rondes in de sportschool – Ik ben altijd in grote vorm. We hebben niets echt veranderd. Als iets, we hebben gehad om gewoon aanpassen van de mentaliteit en trainen als een challenger ook al ben ik de kampioen. Dat is de manier waarop je moet denken.

 

"Ik voel me fris, scherp en klaar. ik reis op woensdag en ik ben helemaal klaar voor. Ik kan niet wachten om daar nu krijgen. Ik wilde er een goede krijgen 10 dagen te vroeg om te wennen aan het weer en de tijd. Zodra ik daar ben, Ik voel me nog meer ingeschakeld. "
