Cincinnati’s Broner, one of boxing’s most popular and colorful personalities, is training under the tutelage of Kevin Cunningham in nearby West Palm Beach, Fla.

Here is what Broner and Cunningham had to say Tuesday:

Adrien Broner

“This fight is real important. This is a hell of a fight not only for me but for the sport. This is a fight that needed to happen for the sport and we are going to put on a hell of a show.

“I always knew that one day I would be having fights like this. Honestly I thought he [Pacquiao] would be done with boxing by now but I always knew I would have a fight of this magnitude on this platform, pay-per-view and all and now I’m here.

“I knew what to expect. I knew he [Kevin] was going to be real strict and I just came prepared.Ready to put it all in and put it all on the line.”

On what he does in his down time:

“I try to rest as much as possible. I’m training so much and training real hard. This will be my second workout of the day and then after this I have another workout at 8:30 p.m. so that will be the third workout for the day so you know all my off time I try to eat properly, stay hydrated and stay focused.”

On how it feels to train in a gym that hosted greats like Muhammad Ali:

“It’s lovely. I never knew this gym existed and this is my first time ever being here or ever hearing about this gym being legendary. Muhammad Ali paved the way for guys like me and Sugar Ray Leonard and everyone else so, it’s legendary.

“I always tell other fighters and other people it takes more to be a star than just boxing. I just have everything it takes to be a mega star.”

On Pacquiao’s last fight against Lucas Matthysse:

“I didn’t see it but I heard he looked good. I don’t know what to expect. I’m just training for the best Pacquiao. And I’m going to go out there and do what I have to do to get the victory.”

How do you feel training in South Florida?

“I’m not focused on the clubbing and stuff and all that stuff will be here after the fight. Estic 110 percent focused on this fight.”

What he will do after the Pacquiao Fight?

“Boxing you have to take it one fight at a time. My main focus is getting past Manny Pacquiao first and then we can talk about other things.”

On whether or not Pacquiao has a weakness:

“It’s not a mystery. He has seven losses. It’s not a mystery that he can lose but anyone can lose on any given day. It’s whoever prepares the best and I’m preparing myself to do what I need to do. I don’t care about stopping him or whether it’s a unanimous decision, as long as I’m victorious.”

On whether or not this is the biggest fight of his career:

“This is definitely my biggest fight, biggest magnitude, biggest platform I’ve ever been on but you never know. I could probably go in there and make this look like the easiest fight of my career you just never know.”

KEVIN CUNNINGHAM

“I think he’shaving even a better camp than the last. He’s added a new strength and conditioning coach and everything is working out perfect and camp is going extremely well and smooth. AB’s looking fast and explosive. No tinc cap queixa.

“Adrien’s got everything; he’s a real throwback fighter. té velocitat, he’s got power, he’s got quickness, he’s got footwork. He can punch and he can bang and he can box.He’s got skills and he can be slick if he wants to be. So he’s the total package.

“We have an idea of the way the fight is going to go. We’ve studied tons of Pacquiao footage and he pretty much fights the same every fight. Manny’s a rhythm fighter so it’s all about getting in his rhythm. He pretty much does his thing. But outside of that I’ve never really seen him make too many adjustments. He’s pretty much the same guy.”

Més! Former World Champion Rau’shee Warren Meets Unbeaten Nordine Oubaali for Vacant WBC Bantamweight Title &

Unbeaten Featherweight Jhack Tepora Takes on

Former World Champion Hugo Ruiz

LAS VEGAS (Desembre 17, 2018) – campió mundial de dues divisions Badou Jack will battle unbeaten top-rated contender Marcus Browne for the WBA Interim Light Heavyweight Title Saturday, Gener 19 on the Manny Pacquiao vs. Adrien Broner SHOWTIME PPV® event from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

The pay-per-view undercard will also see former world champion Rau'shee Warren taking on France’s Nordine Oubaali for the vacant WBC Bantamweight World Championship in a rematch of their 2012 Olympic match up that was edged by Oubaali. In the opening bout of the four-fight PPV telecast, invicte JhackTepora s'enfrontarà a l'ex campió del món Hugo Ruiz in a 12-round featherweight clash.

En l'esdeveniment principal, Senator Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao, boxing’s only eight-division world champion, will end his two-year hiatus from a U.S. boxing ring when he returns to Las Vegas to defend his World Boxing Association Welterweight World Title against former four-division world champion and must-see attraction Adrien “El Problema” Broner.

Les entrades per a l'esdeveniment, which is promoted by MP Promotions, Mayweather Promotions and TGB Promotions in association with About Billions Promotions, are on sale now and start at $100, sense incloure càrrecs aplicables de servei, and can be purchased online through AXS.com, cobrar per telèfon al 866-740-7711 or in person at any MGM Resorts International box office.

“Not only will the fans witness a tremendous main event, they will get to enjoy three action-packed match-ups that will add another level to the pay-per-view portion of the card,” va dir Leonard Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather Promotions. “Both Jhack Tepora and Hugo Ruiz are looking to make a name for themselves in the stacked featherweight division, while Rau’shee Warren and Nordine Oubaali are in the prime of their careers and battling for the WBC title. Mayweather Promotions’ Badou Jack has made an exemplary statement for his career inside and outside of the ring and is focused on further strengthening his resume, while Marcus Browne is looking to showcase his talent on boxing’s biggest stage.”

Gat (22-1-3, 13 KOs) has fought twice at light heavyweight since relinquishing his super middleweight world title to campaign at 175 lliura. The 35-year-old, who was born in Stockholm, Suècia, represented his father’s Gambia in the 2008 Olympics and now lives in Las Vegas. Jack won the super middleweight world title with a majority decision against Anthony Dirrell in 2015 and successfully defended the title three times before he relinquished the belt following a hard-fought majority draw against James DeGale in one 2017’s best fights. In his first bout at 175 lliura, Jack stopped Nathan Cleverly to pick up the WBA light heavyweight title before fighting to a majority draw against Adonis Stevenson in his last fight on May 19.

“I’m looking forward to getting back onto another big stage to perform for my fans across the globe and prove I am one of the best fighters in the world,” said Jack. “I plan to show off my skills with a dominating performance on January 19. I always want to fight the best, and he’s the best that’s available right now. I’m always 100 percent ready and I’m going into this fight stronger, faster and with more experience than ever before.”

The 28-year-old Browne (22-0, 16 KOs) will be taking a step up to face an elite opponent when he battles Jack. Un membre de la 2012 U.S. Equip olímpic de boxa, Browne moved up the contender ladder in the 175-pound division with brute force and power, scoring three straight knockout victories against Thomas Williams, Jr., Sean Monaghan and Francy Ntetu. Browne, who was born and raised in Staten Island, N.Y., scored a unanimous decision victory over Lenin Castillo in his last fight on August 4.

“This is really an honor and a privilege to have an opportunity to showcase my talents on a big time pay-per-view card featuring Manny Pacquiao and Adrien Broner,” Browne said. “Badou Jack is a championship-caliber fighter and one of the toughest guys you can fight in the light heavyweight division. I’m ready for the step up in competition and focused on being a household name in the sport sooner rather than later.”

Cau (16-2, 4 KOs) is looking to return to the world championship ranks with a victory over Oubaali. The 31-year-old became the first three-time Olympic boxer from the U.S. when he qualified for consecutive Olympic teams in 2004, 2008 i 2012. His Olympic run came to an end against Oubaali when he lost a narrow 19-18 decision in the first round of the 2012 Jocs de Londres. A southpaw from Cincinnati, Ohio, Warren won the WBA Bantamweight World Championship with a majority decision over Juan Carlos Payano in 2016 and lost the title the next year to Zhanat Zhakiyanov by split-decision.

“This fight means everything for me and it’s about to be the biggest moment of my career,” Warren va dir. “Not only am I fighting for the WBC belt, but it’s on pay-per-view. When I first won the title it was like winning the gold medal at the Olympics. After I lost the title, it made me much hungrier and I want to get it back even more. I fought this guy in the Olympics, so I’m fighting for revenge. This isn’t the Olympics. This is 12 rounds and I don’t think he’s fought anybody like me. I have no choice but to put it all on the line on January 19.”

The 32-year-old Oubaali (14-0, 11 KOs), an unbeaten southpaw from Lens, Pas-de-Calais, França, has knocked out his last five opponents. His most recent KO of Luis Melendez on April 17 moved Oubaali up the ranks to position him for a world title shot. Oubaali, who is the sixth of 18 children born in France to parents who are from Morocco, twice represented France at the Olympics, qualifying in 2008 i 2012 when he defeated Warren.

“Many people are waiting for this fight because it’s the second time we meet,” said Oubaali.”I beat Rau’shee Warren at the 2012 London Games in a great battle. In the meantime, Rau’shee captured a world championship and lost it. Ara, I’m the WBC No. 1 ranked bantamweight fighter in the world. It will be a great fight in Las Vegas on January 19 and I intend to beat Rau’shee again to become the new WBC world champion.”

The 25-year-old Tepora (22-0, 17 KOs) has steadily risen up the ranks since turning pro in 2012 and most recently captured the WBA interim featherweight crown with a ninth-round stoppage of Edivaldo Ortega in July. Representing Cebu City, Filipines, Tepora enters his U.S. debut on January 19 with stoppage wins in 11 del seu passat 12 concursos.

“It has always been a dream to fight in the United States,” said Tepora. “I never dreamed that my first fight in the U.S. would be on a card with Senator Manny Pacquiao vs. Adrien Broner. I look forward to a tremendous fight on January 19 and defending my title versus former world champion Hugo Ruiz. As you all know the best rivalry in boxing is Filipino vs. Mexicà. It’s going to be a great fight.”

Fighting out of Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mèxic, Ruiz (38-4, 33 KOs) will make his featherweight debut on January 19 after picking up two victories in 2018. The 30-year-old won a super bantamweight world title with a first round stoppage of Julio Ceja in 2016, avenging his previous loss to Ceja in one of 2015’s most exciting fights. He now seeks to position himself for a world title at 126 pounds with a victory against Tepora.

“I expect it to be a good fight because Tepora is undefeated and a good Filipino champion,” va dir Ruiz. “But I’m ready. I don’t think he can handle my power. Vaig a noquejar. I want to do my best to win the title. I’ve been watching videos of him and I’ve been training hard. I’m really focused on how to beat him. I’m still young, but I’ve got the experience to handle him in this fight.”

Here are what the fighters and executives had to say on Tuesday.

Manny Pacquiao:

“This fight is going to be a good fight. I have to pass through him before fighting Floyd Mayweather. I want to prove to the boxing fans that Manny Pacquiao is still in the pack. You will see more fights with Manny Pacquiao here in the United States.

“He’s young and he’s fast – and he’s fast with his mouth. There will be more action in the ring – we know what the people want. It’s going to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see a fight you will never forget.

“I continue my career as a boxer because boxing is my passion. When I hung up my gloves once, I felt sad not being in the ring and giving inspiration to people in the Philippines and boxing fans.”

On potentially fighting Floyd Mayweather again:

“I don’t think Adrien will agree with that, because I need to pass through him. This is not an easy fight.”

On working with Al Haymon:

“I have only good things to say about Top Rank – they helped me a lot. But I’m really thankful to be partnered with Al Haymon and have a chance to work with him.”

"[Broner’s] a funny guy. I think after his boxing career, he could have another career as a comedian. I don’t get upset about the jokes. I can’t help but laugh when I look at his face.”

Will the Mayweather rematch be next?

“I can’t give you an answer, but if you ask me, it would be good for me to have that fight.”

Adrien Broner:

“Gener 19, I am coming to win. Screw the money, I’m going to be victorious. They keep talking about a Pacquiao-Mayweather 2, but I’m going to mess those plans up. I just don’t see Manny Pacquiao beating me.

“He’s still in great condition. He’s trained his ass off. I have to keep my composure and stay focused on my game plan. But I’m not going to tell you what that plan is.

“Hope isn’t my strategy – there will be no luck. I feel like he can’t beat me. Look at my resume – what do I do to southpaws? I stop them. Entrant en aquesta lluita, Tinc molta confiança. I’m going to do what I always do to southpaws and dismantle him.”

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, President Esports & Programació d'esdeveniments, Showtime Networks Inc.

“These two fighters have resumes that you’re all familiar with. On the surface they seem very different, but they’re more similar than you’d think.

“They’re two of the most entertaining and popular fighters in the sport. They are also two fighters who are all heart. We’ve seen them in tough fights, and there’s one thing you know you’re going to get out of Manny Pacquiao and AB, and that’s 100 percent effort throughout the fight.

“When Adrien Broner and Manny Pacquiao fight, it’s a huge event. Add in Mayweather Promotions and MGM Grand and Las Vegas, and it’s one of the biggest fights of the year. There’s a lot at stake – this will be an all action fight. It will be a special weekend, and we can’t wait.”

JOE RAMOS, Head of MP Promotions

“We all know Adrien is hungry, but he’s fighting boxing’s only eight-division champion. Manny will show the world that he’s the best fighter on the planet come January 19. Don’t miss a chance to be part of history.”

LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO de Mayweather Promotions

“We know we have a great fight come Jan. 19. You’ll see a future Hall of Famer in Manny Pacquiao, and a guy in Adrien Broner who has never backed down from a challenge. He knows he has to be at his best to beat Manny Pacquiao. The style matchup with these two guys is very intriguing. I promise you this will be a great fight.”

Ravone Littlejohn, Co-Head of About Billions Promotions

"Serà una gran lluita. If my man AB hits the right shot, it could be a short night. We’ve never been down for the count, and we’re not going to start now. We know the position we’re in. It’s a pleasure to fight a legend like Manny Pacquiao.”

RICHARD STRUM, President of Las Vegas Live Entertainment and Sports

“This fight kicks off another tremendous year of entertainment for MGM. I’d like to welcome Manny Pacquiao and Adrien Broner, two of the sport’s most iconic fighters, back to MGM Grand and Las Vegas.”

Here are what the fighters and executives had to say on Monday.

Manny Pacquiao:

 

 

“I just want to prove that I’m still in boxing and my journey in boxing is continuing. I want to entertain people and give a good show on January 19. You don’t want to miss the opportunity to see this great and prestigious fight in the ring with Adrien Broner. I know my opponent is fast and a top caliber fighter, he’s good and we have to work hard and train hard for this fight so the people will be happy. We will give a good fight for the fans.

 

 

 

“I chose Broner because we can have a good fight and entertain the fans. Adrien is a top caliber fighter and a good boxer. We cannot underestimate him.

 

 

 

“When I met up with Floyd [Mayweather] al Japó, we talked and he said he wants to come out of retirement to challenge me. All I know is fighting in the ring and entertaining people. That’s my job. Floyd has come out of retirement and we’ll see after this fight, but we cannot underestimate Broner and this fight. We will discuss anything with Floyd Mayweather after that.

 

 

 

“I can fight at 140 lliures o 147 pounds and I want to fight the biggest fighters in the world and one of those is Adrien Broner. I can fight anybody.

 

 

“I expect more action in the ring, that’s what we want. We don’t talk too much outside the ring but we will do it in the ring.

 

 

“Sí, I still have the [knock out] energia. De fet, I have learned how to develop that and by the grace of god, who has given me this power and with hard work and training, that technique is my weapon for this fight.

 

 

 

“I have already accomplished my dream and what I want to accomplish in this sport. I just want to continue in the top of boxing and give honor to my country.”

 

Adrien Broner:

 

 

“I’m real thankful hearing that he was coming over to PBC, ‘Pacquiao’s Broner Crisis’. I’m happy – there are a lot of people that wanted this fight and god blessed me to get it. I guess I’m just the chosen one. What can I say about Pacquiao, he’s a future Hall of Famer.

 

 

 

“I had to call my momma after I looked in the mirror this morning. I had to let her know she has a beautiful son. We finally made it to pay-per-view at 29. I’m the only African-American do to that.

 

 

 

“It’s going to be a hell of a fight. I’m not coming to just pick up a check. I know when I win this fight, there’s more money to come.

 

 

 

"Aquesta lluita significa molt per a mi. A win and I turn legend overnight. I got the whole hood with me just like he has the whole Philippines with him. I don’t even know how to spell that. But I have the whole hood with me: H-O-O-D.

 

 

“Of course I consider Manny one of the elite fighters at 147. The things he’s done in this game are unbelievable. I talk trash, I play but I know on January 19 I have to be on top of my game. This is his break-out fight to be on the A-side. I know he isn’t trying to look bad. But I’m here to knock him out. I feel like a bum trying to fight for a sandwich.

 

 

 

“I’m not worried about what Manny does. He has to worry about what I’m doing. I have three losses and he has eight. But he has been knocked out three times so we know he can go to sleep. He doesn’t need Nyquil for that, and I have the power to do it. He better be on his p’s and q’s because I’m trying to knock him out.

 

 

 

“If the knockout comes, ve. I’m just focused on my win. I’m trying to win in good fashion. I’m going to train my ass off and give it my all.

 

 

 

“This fight is very important from a business standpoint and for About Billions. A lot of young fighters want to work with me and I have to show them the way. As a leader, if I win this fight it gives them something to brag about. I’m not only fighting for me, I’m fighting for my family and my kids. It’s the longevity, it’s for after boxing. I have a chance to set myself up so that my kids’ kids can live comfortably.

 

 

 

“We’re boxers. We’re not afraid of nobody. We bleed the same, we walk the same, we put our pants on one at a time. There’s nothing to be afraid of. I’m trying to knock this guy out. I might laugh, I might play around but I’m trying to get him out of here.

 

 

 

“Every fighter is different. I don’t compare fighters to each other. Every fighter has their good habits and their bad habits. Al seu voltant, ell és un gran lluitador. He’s done something that nobody has ever done in the sport but it’s time to turn over a new leaf. Adrien Broner will be the biggest name in boxing.

 

 

 

“I feel good at any weight. Em sento fort. I will let everything show January 19. Serà un infern d'una lluita. I just want to beat the man in great fashion. No és res personal, it’s just for me so I can wake up and say I beat Manny Pacquiao.”

 

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, President Esports & Programació d'esdeveniments, Showtime Networks Inc.

“SHOWTIME is thrilled to be hosting this press conference and to be bringing this matchup of two must-see fighters – there is a very short list of must-see attractions, and of course these two active fighters are on the top of the list.

 

 

 

“Boxing’s only eight-division world champion taking on the youngest boxer ever to be a four-division world champion. We would like to welcome Manny Pacquiao back to SHOWTIME, back to the U.S. as this is his first fight in the U.S. en dos anys. These two are perennial draws at the box office, ratings, and in the streets. Two of the most well-known, widely recognized boxers in the sport of boxing. Two of the most athletically gifted fighters in the sport – power, velocitat, rapidesa, they have it all.

 

 

 

“At this point, odds makers have favored Pacquiao. That’s understandable because he is a Hall of Famer with a Hall of Fame resume. But it would be a mistake to overlook Broner in this fight. Broner never backs down from a challenge. As long as I’ve known him and worked with him he’s never turned down a fight, not against bigger opponents like Shawn Porter, not against big punchers like Marcos Maidana, not against the guys that no one wants to fight. Broner gives them tough fights: 12 rounds against Porter, 12 grueling rounds against Maidana. So for those of you that think this is an easy fight, or easy bet because of the odds, think again. These are two of the most talented fighters of this generation, two of the most athletically gifted fighters of this generation. I guarantee this fight will be a must-see attraction.”

 

JOE RAMOS, Head of MP Promotions

 

 

“This is a fight that we’ve been trying to make for several years. Our new partnership with the great Al Haymon and the PBC has finally made this possible. I’d like to thank Al and his team for making this happen. I’d like to acknowledge our new partners in this fight, Mayweather Promotions and TGB Promotions, our broadcast partner SHOWTIME and Manny’s home away from home, the MGM Grand. To Team Broner, thanks for stepping up to the plate. I hope you have a great training camp and I wish you all the best. To Senator Manny, thank you for giving all your fans this opportunity to showcase your greatness and show you are still the best fighter in the world.”

LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO de Mayweather Promotions

 

 

“This is a huge fight. I can’t say enough about what I personally think will be the biggest fight of 2019. You have Manny Pacquiao, a future Hall of Famer, who’s fought everybody in this era against Adrien Broner, one of the most exciting fighters in the sport. He’s the biggest attraction with the biggest ratings and never shy about the cameras. This will be a great promotion. We expect the fans across the world to tune in to this great event. Will Manny Pacquiao be able to use his plethora of experience to defeat a young Adrien Broner whose still in the prime of his career? Or will Adrien Broner be able to utilize his outstanding speed and his skillset to defeat the legendary Hall of Famer, Manny Pacquiao? Tune in, SHOWTIME PPV on January 19.”

 

Ravone Littlejohn, Co-Head of About Billions Promotions

 

 

“This is the biggest fight that we’ve been involved with, so I would like to thank everybody involved. Adrien knows what he needs to do. I’ve been with him since we were 18-years-old and we’ve been through a lot. I’ve never seen him back down from anything and anybody who’s watched him fight knows that. We look forward to bringing it and we’re going to bring it. I’m very happy to be in this position and we’re going to go far.”

Ara, Pacquiao returns to the U.S. in his remarkable fourth reign as welterweight world champion. Broner, one of the most talented fighters in boxing, is aiming for his second stint as 147-pound champion. If victorious, Broner also will add a career-defining win against a future Hall of Famer to his already stellar resume.

 

 

 

“I have missed fighting in Las Vegas. It has been a second home to me,” va dir Pacquiao. “Returning to the MGM Grand Garden Arena to defend my world title against Adrien Broner is an exciting way to stage my homecoming. Adrien is a tough opponent with an accomplished record. But if I have learned one thing while serving in the Philippine Congress and Senate, it is problem solving.”

 

 

 

va dir Broner, “I have paid my dues in this sport, and now it’s time for me to get mines. I get more views than everybody when I fight. A lot of people are going to see me pack off Pacquiao into retirement, and without his belt.”

 

 

 

Promoted by MP Promotions, Mayweather Promotions and TGB Promotions in association with About Billions Promotions, tickets to the Pacquiao vs. Broner welterweight world championship event go on sale Saturday, Novembre 24. Les butlletes estan a $1,500, $1,000, $750, $500, $300, $200, $100, sense incloure càrrecs aplicables de servei, and can be purchased online through AXS.com, cobrar per telèfon al 866-740-7711 or in person at any MGM Resorts International box office.

 

 

 

“Manny Pacquiao and Adrien Broner are two of the most gifted athletes in boxing today,"Va dir Stephen Espinoza, President, Programació esportiva i d'esdeveniments, Showtime Networks Inc. “Both men throw punches with eye-opening speed and carry significant power in both hands. These attributes have made them two of the biggest draws in the sport. Pacquiao is a proven pay-per-view attraction, while Broner has consistently delivered many of the highest-rated boxing events on television. This matchup promises explosive action from bell to bell.”

 

 

 

“MP Promotions is very excited about launching its new relationship with the PBC by presenting Senator Manny’s return to Las Vegas in the first defense of his WBA welterweight world title,” said MP Promotions head Joe Ramos. “Manny has a rich boxing history at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, and he will train hard to keep that title when he battles Adrien Broner on January 19. This will be another opportunity for Manny to add another highlight to his spectacular career and entertain his millions of fans. Però el més important, to prove to the world that he still belongs in the pound-for-pound discussion. It’s going to be a great night for the sport.”

 

 

 

“Mayweather Promotions is looking forward to working with our co-promoters and SHOWTIME to bring this spectacle between Manny Pacquiao and Adrien Broner to the fans at the top of the year,” said Leonard Ellerbe of Mayweather Promotions. “This is going to be one of the biggest fights of 2019 with Broner looking to defy the odds and shut everyone up when he steps in the ring on fight night. Pacquiao has faced everyone top fighter in this era and is looking to add another signature win to cap off his historic career.”

 

 

 

“This is an intriguing matchup between two highly skilled boxers who provide entertainment every time they step in the ring,” said Tom Brown of TGB Promotions. “Manny Pacquiao is an iconic future Hall of Famer with a resume that includes a Who’s Who of some of the greatest boxers of this generation. Adrien Broner has become must-see TV in winning world titles in four different divisions, and a victory over Pacquiao will move him back into the championship ranks and add luster to an already sterling career.”

 

 

 

Richard Sturm, President of Las Vegas Live Entertainment and Sports for MGM Resorts International, dit, “We are excited to host this championship fight at the MGM Grand Garden Arena which will kick off another great year of entertainment programming for MGM Resorts. This will be a terrific matchup between two great champions and we look forward to welcoming both of them back to the MGM Grand and Las Vegas.”

 

 

 

A three-time Fighter of the Year and the Boxing Writers Association of America’s reigning Fighter of the Decade, Pacquiao (60-7-2, 39 KOs), who hails from Sarangani Province in the Philippines, is the only sitting Congressman and Senator to win a world title. After serving two terms as Congressman, Pacquiao was elected to a Philippine Senate seat in May 2016, capturing over 16 milió de vots a nivell nacional. Pacquiao’s boxing resume features victories over at least seven current and future Hall of Famers, incloent a Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton, Marc Antoni Barrera, Erik Morales, Miguel Cotto, Shane Mosley, and Juan Manuel Marquez. En la seva última baralla, with Philippine President Rodrigo R. Duerte and Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohammad in attendance (the first time two heads of state attended a championship boxing event), Pacquaio, 39, regained the welterweight title for a fourth time with a vintage performance on July 15 at Axiata Arena in Kuala Lampur, Malàisia, by knocking out defending WBA champion Lucas Matthyssee in the seventh round.

 

 

 

Pacquiao recently had the high honor of speaking to the Oxford Union and the Cambridge Union on the campuses of the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge, respectivament, on consecutive days, another historic first in a career of historic firsts for the international sports icon. Pacquiao’s speeches about his life attracted standing room only crowds and huge ovations.

 

 

 

Cincinnati’s Broner (33-3-1, 24 KOs) is a former four-division world title holder and one of boxing’s most popular and colorful personalities. The brash and outspoken 29-year-old has faced some of boxing’s best en route to winning titles at 130, 135, 140 i 147 lliura, including Mikey Garcia, Paulie Malignaggi and Shawn Porter. Broner, who will face his 10º world champion in Pacquiao, scored a draw in his last fight in April on SHOWTIME against former two-division world champion Jessie Vargas.

BROOKLYN (Abril 22, 2018) – campió mundial en quatre divisions Adrien Broner i campió del món de dues divisions Jessie Vargas va lluitar per un sorteig majoritari de 12 rondes molt entretingut dissabte a la nit a SHOWTIME a l'esdeveniment principal de SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING davant de 13,964 aficionats al Barclays Center de Brooklyn en un esdeveniment presentat per Premier Boxing Champions.

 

 

 

La batalla d'anada i tornada va ser una història d'activitat vs. precisió. Vargas va ser, amb diferència, el lluitador més actiu, llançament 839 cops totals, 300 més que el seu oponent. No obstant això, el cridaner Broner era extremadament precís, de connexió a 44 per cent dels seus trets de poder i 38 per cent del seu total de ponches, en comparació amb només 27 i 24, respectivament, per Vargas.

 

 

 

Broner (33-3-1, 24 KOs) va entrar amb força a la segona meitat de la lluita, recollint la vuitena ronda 10 sobre els tres jutges’ quadres de comandament. La 12º ronda va ser crucial per determinar el sorteig, que va ser anotat 115-113 Broner i 114-114 dues vegades. Els jutges van acordar vuit dels 12 rondes però no es va poder posar d'acord sobre la ronda final, que va ser dictat de manera diferent pels dos jutges que van anotar la lluita amb un empat.

 

 

“Vull donar les gràcies a Jessie Vargas. És dues vegades campió del món per una raó,” Said Broner, que treballava per primera vegada amb Kevin Cunningham com a entrenador principal. “Va venir a lluitar però al final del dia, tots sabeu que el vaig vèncer. Punt en blanc, període.

 

 

 

“Estava connectant amb els drets. Em vaig escalfar a la primera part de la lluita. El meu entrenador ha estat de gran ajuda aquesta nit. Vull donar les gràcies a l'entrenador Cunningham així com al meu entrenador original, Mike Stafford, per adonar-me que necessitava fer alguna cosa diferent.

 

 

 

“M'encantaria tornar a lluitar contra Vargas, però tornem al meu poble per fer-ho.”

 

 

 

Vargas (28-2-1, 10 KOs) va treballar fora del jab i va ser increïblement efectiu amb els seus trets al cos només en la seva segona lluita amb l'entrenador i excampió del món Mike “El llastrador de cos” McCallum.

 

 

 

“Vaig pensar que vaig guanyar la lluita,” va dir Vargas. “Al final del dia no puc discutir perquè estava lluitant a l'interior del ring, així que no sé què vas veure des de fora.. Estava donant cops nets. Va ser una bona lluita, però al final no puc qüestionar la decisió.

 

 

 

“Ha d'haver estat una lluita estreta perquè els jutges l'haguessin anotat com ho van fer. Vaig sentir que vaig guanyar la lluita i vaig pujar dues rondes. Confio en els jutges per prendre la decisió correcta.”

 

 

 

Excampió de 154 lliures Jermall Charlo va enviar una declaració a la divisió de pes mitjà a l'esdeveniment co-principal, eliminant un rival que havia estat derrotat anteriorment Hugo Centeno Jr. per capturar el títol interí de 160 lliures WBC. VIDEO:https://s.sho.com/2vxBnDM

 

 

 

Charlo és ara el obligatori per a Gennady “GGG” Golovkin i no es va defugir de cridar el WBC, Campió del món de pes mitjà WBA i IBF.

 

 

 

“Ha estat un viatge increïble arribar fins aquí,” Said Charlo, el germà bessó del campió de 154 lliures del CMB Jermell Charlo. “Sóc dues vegades campió del món. Porta 'GGG.’ Vull aquesta baralla. Estic 27-0 amb 21 nocauts. Tothom ho veu. Què més puc dir?”

 

 

 

Charlo (27-0, 21 KOs) va demostrar que el seu poder es tradueix en pes mitjà, ja que va eliminar al seu segon oponent des que va renunciar al seu títol i va passar a 160 lliura. El nadiu de Houston ara ha guanyat per nocaut en cinc dels seus sis combats des que es va convertir inicialment en campió 2015. Una sèrie de tirs va obrir un enorme ganxo d'esquerra en el primer minut de la segona ronda, paviment Centeno (26-2, 14 KOs), que no va aconseguir superar el compte de 10 i va ser comptat a :55.

 

 

 

“Tothom m'ha evitat sempre i a partir d'ara, així serà com serà,” Said Charlo. “Ja veus el que aconsegueixes.”

 

 

 

Seguint la lluita, Centeno era conscient dels errors que van provocar la derrota.

 

 

 

“Vaig pensar que vaig començar força bé. Volia sortir al meu escut però no era el meu dia,” va dir Centeno. “Em va agafar i va aconseguir el nocaut. Estava intentant treballar el meu jab. Vaig pensar que el vaig aconseguir amb un parell de bons tirs, però em vaig quedar massa temps a la butxaca i no vaig sortir a temps.”

 

 

 

A la primera baralla de la transmissió per televisió, Gervonta Davis es va convertir en dos cops campió del món de manera empàtica amb una tercera ronda de nocaut técnico de l'antic campió Jesús Cuellar per capturar el Campionat del Món vacant de 130 lliures de l'AMB. VIDEO: https://s.sho.com/2vusWsW

 

 

 

L'invicte Davis (20-0, 19 KOs), que va perdre el títol de l'IBF de 130 lliures a la balança l'agost passat, va anotar tres derrocaments en menys de tres rondes per guanyar el seu segon títol a la divisió de pes súper ploma. El jove de 23 anys va connectar 49 per cent dels seus cops de poder en el seu primer combat amb el nou entrenador Kevin Cunningham.

 

 

 

“A la fitxa de la baralla Mayweather-McGregor, Simplement no estava concentrat,” va dir Davis. “Va ser la segona vegada que lluitava amb la targeta de Mayweather, així que em va arribar al cap i es va veure. Després de la baralla, Vaig anar a casa i vaig parlar amb el meu equip i vam decidir que era hora de marxar de Baltimore. Estic concentrat i es va demostrar perquè torno a ser campió.

 

 

 

“Sempre hi ha cops al camí quan vols tenir èxit. Es tracta de com et recuperes i aquesta nit he demostrat que sóc un veritable campió.”

 

 

 

Davis va utilitzar una combinació de trets corporals, uppercuts i eficaç contrapunxada per trencar Cuellar, un antic titular de 126 lliures. Davis de Baltimore va colpejar Cuellar amb un cop al cos a la segona ronda i no va cedir a partir d'aquí. El zurdo va avançar a la tercera, perseguint Cuellar contra les cordes i enviant-lo avall per segona vegada amb una sèrie de combinacions. Cuellar (28-3, 21 KOs) es va aixecar, però va tenir greus problemes i l'àrbitre Benjy Esteves va intervenir per aturar el partit a 2:45 amb l'argentí caient a la lona per tercera vegada.

 

 

 

“El pla de joc era boxejar una mica i obrir-lo amb alguns trets,” va dir Davis. “Quan va ser l'hora, Vaig avançar i el vaig agafar amb prou trets per treure'l.

 

 

 

“Vull tornar el cinturó de l'IBF i estic preparat per unificar-lo amb qui guanyi [Tevin] Pagès vs. [Porra] Dib lluita.”

 

 

 

A l'emissió de dissabte, es va anunciar que Errol Spence Jr. farà la segona defensa del seu campionat mundial de pes welter de la FIB contra el desafiador obligatori invicte Carlos Ocampo al juny 16 a SHOWTIME en una baralla de tornada a Dallas.

 

 

 

El triple header de SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING de dissabte es repetirà dilluns a 10 p.m. ET / PT a SHOWTIME EXTREME.

Això és el que els participants de la conferència de premsa van dir dijous des del Barclays Center de Brooklyn:

 

Adrien Broner

 

 

 

 

 

“Estic preparat per lluitar. No em preocupa Jessie. Aquesta és una lluita molt important per a la meva carrera. Sé que Jessie es va entrenar dur per vèncer-me. Aquesta és una victòria que ens pot portar a qualsevol de nosaltres al següent nivell. Estic a punt per lluitar ara mateix i per aconseguir-ho.

 

 

 

 

“Quan va fer un pas i va lluitar contra Tim Bradley i Manny Pacquiao, va perdre. Sóc quatre vegades campió del món, així que no vull saber res de les meves pèrdues. Jessie Vargas no és tan bona com els nois amb qui vaig perdre.

 

 

 

 

“Espero obtenir crèdit quan hagi vençut a Jessie Vargas. Espero obtenir el crèdit que em mereixo. La gent vol que perdi i me'n vagi, però endevineu què? Vaig treballar més que mai per aquesta lluita. No estic perdent davant Jessie Vargas. Sóc quatre vegades campió del món i aviat seré cinc vegades campió del món aquest any.

 

 

 

 

“Encara sóc un dels millors lluitadors d'aquesta època. Quan acabi la meva carrera, Seré un dels millors a lligar un parell de guants de boxa. No puc esperar per donar a tothom alguna cosa per recordar dissabte.

 

 

 

 

“Estar amb Kevin Cunningham al campament va canviar molt. Va trigar una estona a acostumar-s'hi. Aquest és el primer campament que faig des que era petit amb un nou entrenador. No hi havia distraccions al campament. Tot era feina, cap joc.

 

 

 

 

“Estic a un nivell diferent que ell. Ho demostraré dissabte. No em preocupa res de la negativitat que envolta el meu nom. Estic a punt per anar a fer un espectacle.

 

 

 

 

 

“Enguany em faig càrrec. Tot comença amb Jessie Vargas dissabte a la nit. Vaig a ser jo mateix, i fer un gran espectacle.”

 

JESSIE VARGAS

 

 

 

 

“Tot al camp d'entrenament ha anat fantàstic. No puc esperar per aquesta baralla. Això no és un joc. Estic aquí per guanyar i penso fer-ho. Això serà acció.

 

 

 

 

“He vist els errors que Broner ha comès en el passat. He de sortir i preocupar-me pel meu rendiment. Sóc versàtil i faré el que hagi de fer. Tots dos som antics campions del món, però al final del dia només hi haurà un guanyador, i seré jo.

 

 

 

 

“Crec que tinc un avantatge sent el lluitador més alt i fort. Sóc un pes welter adult. Estic preparat per a la victòria.

 

 

 

 

“Tots dos aportem experiència i tots dos som nois amb talent. Sens dubte, oferirem entreteniment als aficionats dissabte a la nit. Estic en una gran part de la meva carrera perquè no he rebut tant de càstig. Sóc campió del món de dues divisions per una raó.

 

 

 

 

 

“El meu pes ha estat en aquest campament. La meva nutricionista ha fet una gran feina i demà seré perfecte a l'escala. Tot el meu equip ha estat perfecte i us portarà a la millor Jessie Vargas que heu vist mai dissabte..

 

 

 

 

 

“Dissabte a la nit serà un gran espectacle. És una gran carta i després l'esdeveniment principal serà tots els focs artificials. Vine i gaudeix d'una gran nit de boxa i veu'm guanyar la victòria.”

 

Charlo JERMALL

 

 

 

 

“Vull fer una declaració dissabte a la nit. He estat entrenant dur des de la meva última lluita. Vaig prometre als meus fans alguna cosa que recordaran d'aquesta lluita. Haureu d'esperar i veureu.

 

 

 

 

 

“Un cop em passos davant meu, és una baralla. Cada cop poso la meva vida en perill. Només estic esperant coses encara més grans que tinc al davant. Dono als aficionats alguna cosa especial per emportar-se a casa de la meva actuació.

 

 

 

 

“Em sento molt bé ara mateix. Va ser un altre d'aquells campaments que vaig poder començar aviat i entrar aviat al gimnàs. Puc fer el que necessitis al ring. Estic preparat per fer d'aquesta lluita tot focs artificials.

 

 

 

 

 

“Faig moltes coses bones al campament per fer-me sentir més fort. Va ser una mica dur amb el retard, però res que no hagi pogut treballar. Estic en pes ara mateix tan lluny. Tinc un gran equip que m'ha ajudat a arribar-hi.

 

 

 

 

 

“Estic centrat en el que estic passant. Hugo creu que l'estic passant per alt, però això no passa gens. Vull treure'l i fer una declaració que estic preparat per als grans noms de la divisió.

 

 

 

 

 

“Anem a aixecar Brooklyn. Realment vull fer una declaració. No importa com em senti durant tota la lluita, ho farem rock.”

 

HUGO CENTENO JR.

 

“Tinc la sensació que se m'està passant per alt. No he estat capaç de fer-me un nom familiar en estar en aquestes plataformes. Vinga l'abril 21, Vaig a donar a conèixer el meu nom.

 

 

 

 

“La lesió a la costella va ser difícil de suportar al principi. Estàvem molt a prop del final, però un cop vaig reprendre l'entrenament, Jo ja estava en condicions fenomenals. Em va portar a un altre nivell i ara estic en les millors condicions de la meva vida.

 

 

 

 

“Em sento perfecte ara mateix dirigint-me a aquesta lluita. Vam tenir un gran sparring al campament i estic preparat per entrar al ring.

 

 

 

 

 

“Fins i tot estar en aquesta posició demostra a la gent que m'he guanyat el camí fins aquí. Ningú m'ha lliurat res. Aquesta és una de les divisions més difícils del món i sóc aquí per una raó. Aquesta baralla significa el món per a mi. Ha sigut 20 anys d'esforç reunint-se dissabte.

 

 

 

 

“Sé que Charlo ve a lluitar, i definitivament vinc a lluitar. No importa quina sigui l'estratègia o l'estil, Estaré preparat per a qualsevol cosa que se'm vegi.

 

 

 

 

“Espero que surti fort. Sabem que està buscant un nocaut. Però crec que si no té l'oportunitat, es reduirà a qui és el lluitador més intel·ligent.”

 

GERVONTA DAVIS

 

 

 

 

 

“Dissabte a la nit podeu esperar una lluita plena d'acció. Sé que Cuéllar vindrà a lluitar. Definitivament vinc a lluitar. Estic preparat per reprendre on ho vaig deixar, de nou com a campió.

 

 

 

 

 

“Vaig tenir moltes distraccions el darrer campament que em van fer perdre pes. A partir d'aquell dia em vaig centrar a tornar a un títol mundial. Vaig decepcionar la gent quan vaig perdre el títol a l'escala, però ara estic més concentrat.

 

 

 

 

 

“Va ser fantàstic estar al campament a Florida en comptes de tornar a casa a Baltimore. D'aquesta manera, només em preocupa la boxa cada dia. Estic menjant bé i realment just 100 per cent centrat en la boxa. Va ser una gran jugada i es veurà dissabte.

 

 

 

 

 

“Tinc les habilitats i el carisma per estar al capdavant de l'esport. Només necessito els oponents adequats, però no ho vaig a pressa. He de prendre decisions intel·ligents en aquest esport per arribar on vull. Vull continuar fent grans actuacions.

 

 

 

 

 

“Crec que aquesta lluita em tornarà a situar al mapa com una de les estrelles en ascens més joves de la boxa. Crec que tinc les habilitats per fer-ho.

 

 

 

 

 

“He estat entrenant molt amb l'Adrien al campament. Ens hem estat empenyent els uns als altres i només vull poder mirar enrere aquesta lluita i poder dir que aquesta va ser una de les meves millors actuacions. Vull demostrar que tinc les habilitats i la capacitat per fer-me càrrec de l'esport de la boxa.”

 

JESUS ​​CUELLAR

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Entenc que Davis és un gran oponent, però dins del ring, només serem nosaltres dos, anar de peu a peu. Sé que serà una gran lluita.

 

 

 

 

 

“Tot això serà acció. Espereu veure una guerra amb mi aixecant la mà al final de la nit. Faré el que calgui.

 

 

 

 

 

“El pla és sortir allà i guanyar aquest cinturó. Hem tingut un gran entrenament i entrenament per aconseguir-nos aquesta posició. Els meus entrenadors van treballar molt dur per preparar-me.

 

 

 

 

 

“Aquesta baralla és molt important per a mi. Vull ser campió del món de dues divisions i tinc l'oportunitat que esperava dissabte a la nit.

 

 

 

 

 

“Crec que vaig prendre la decisió correcta per allunyar-me de la boxa. Ara he tornat més fort que mai. Em sento molt bé i tothom ho veurà dissabte a la nit.

 

 

 

 

 

“Tenim un pla de joc i ho farem. Seré agressiu com sempre, però també mostrar algunes coses noves que he treballat.

 

 

 

 

“Estic llest per anar 12 rondes si és necessari, però si tinc l'oportunitat d'hora per a un nocaut, Vaig a prendre-ho. Estic aquí per donar-ho tot i guanyar aquesta lluita, això és tot.”

 

HEATHER HARDY

 

 

 

 

 

“Realment no hi ha res com lluitar a casa. Tan emocionant com era estar a la gàbia, això és com estar al meu pati del darrere.

 

 

 

 

 

“Sempre és un somni boxejar al Barclays Center i no hi ha res com estar aquí davant la meva gent. Espero que el meu oponent hagi entrenat dur perquè estic preparat per barallar-me.

 

 

 

 

 

“Estic molt emocionat de tornar a treballar en les meves habilitats de boxa. No puc esperar per oferir als meus fans un gran espectacle. Saben que sempre ho dono tot i ho deixo al ring. Donaré als meus fans el valor dels seus diners.”

 

LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO de Mayweather Promotions

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Dissabte a la nit tenim la carta de boxa més gran i dolenta de tot l'esport. Serà un gran esdeveniment aquí davant dels apassionats fans de la boxa de Brooklyn.

 

 

 

 

 

“L'esdeveniment principal té el campió de quatre divisions Broner enfrontant-se al campió de dues divisions Vargas, en una lluita que significa molt per als dos lluitadors.

 

 

 

 

 

 

“A més, Jermall Charlo s'enfrontarà a Hugo Centeno en una gran lluita de pes mitjà per mirar d'establir-se com a contendents a la classe de pes mitjà amb estrelles..

 

 

 

 

 

“L'iniciador de la nostra retransmissió tindrà una superestrella en ascens de la boxa a Gervonta Davis, lluitant contra l'antic campió del món Jesús Cuéllar en una entretinguda lluita pel títol mundial. Això és el que es tracta la boxa. És molt bo la boxa aquí a Brooklyn.”

 

Lou DiBella, El president de DiBella Entertainment

 

 

 

 

 

“Aquesta és una gran carta de lluita. Per això es venen entrades. Hi ha moltes estrelles emergents en aquesta tarima. Va ser creat per ser una gran boxa televisiva, i per això dissabte tindrem una sala plena.

 

 

 

 

 

“Barclays Center és realment la llar de la boxa de grans dimensions. Aquest és el lloc amb més dedicació a un programa habitual de boxa i ho veus amb les grans baralles que vénen aquí mes rere mes.

 

 

 

 

 

“Aquesta targeta s'apila de dalt a baix. La targeta de fons fora de la televisió és sensacional i compta amb un munt de talent invicte. Heather Hardy tornarà després de dos partits consecutius a la gàbia per tornar al ring en aquest programa. Estem aquí per oferir als fans el millor que podem durant tota la nit.

 

 

 

 

 

“El primer combat televisat de la nit té Gervonta Davis, una de les joves estrelles emergents de l'esport, va pel seu segon títol mundial. Està lluitant contra un antic campió del món a Jesús Cuéllar, que és un noi consumat per dret propi. Gervonta té les mans plenes, però dissabte tindrà molts fans de Maryland que li donen suport.

 

 

 

 

 

“Hi ha molta acció i polèmica a la divisió de pes mitjà. Jermall Charlo podria ser el punxador més dur d'aquesta divisió. Ell i el seu germà podrien ser ja els bessons més aconseguits de la història de la boxa. Té un enfrontament difícil perquè Hugo Centeno Jr. també és un jove lluitador fantàstic amb poder i una gran capacitat de boxa. Té potencial estrella si aconsegueix superar aquest obstacle contra Charlo.

 

 

 

 

 

“Adrien Broner és un boxejador molt hàbil, que té poder d'estrelles i crida molt l'atenció. No has de ser estimat per tothom, has de que la gent vulgui veure't. Molta gent vol veure a Adrien Broner. El veuran en una dura lluita dissabte a la nit. Jessie Vargas ja és dues vegades campiona del món, que ha tingut una carrera fantàstica i, sens dubte, serà el noi més gran i fort dissabte. L'Adrien sap que tot està en joc el dissabte a la nit.”

 

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, President Esports & Programació d'esdeveniments, Showtime Sports Inc.

 

 

 

 

 

“SHOWTIME La boxa es troba enmig d'una carrera sense precedents. Ha estat una lluita significativa rere una lluita significativa.

 

 

 

 

 

“Al gener vam fer un anunci sense precedents 11 esdeveniments d'aquesta primera part de l'any. No estic segur que cap xarxa hagi fet tants esdeveniments aquest any.

 

 

 

 

 

“Barclays Center, com SHOWTIME, s'ha convertit en la llar de les baralles més significatives de l'esport. Això no passa per casualitat. Aquesta és una estratègia intencionada. És un pla per promoure i elevar l'esport i el seu’ lluitadors a altures que no hem vist abans. Hem fet un esforç real per elevar aquest esport.

 

 

 

 

 

“La targeta apilada de dissabte té tres enfrontaments imprescindibles. Aquests són lluitadors estrella contra batalles d'estrelles. No hi ha "no-noms".’ en això. Els sis lluitadors d'aquí tenen lluites encapçalades. Aquestes baralles són tan bones com qualsevol carta que recordi.”

 

BRETT Yormark, CEO de Brooklyn Sports & Entreteniment

 

 

 

 

 

“Estic emocionat amb les baralles de dissabte a la nit. Està ple de dalt a baix i hauria de ser una gran nit de BROOKLYN BOXING. És un gran tripleheader i en molts aspectes això defineix la boxa de Brooklyn. Lluites igualades, les estrelles més grans de l'esport, alguns establerts i altres en augment. Tens una mica de tot aquest cap de setmana

 

 

 

 

 

“Estem molt emocionats de tenir Heather Hardy de tornada al Barclays Center dissabte després d'algunes baralles a MMA.. És boxejadora i no podem esperar a tenir-la aquí aquest cap de setmana.

 

 

 

 

 

“Moltes gràcies a tots els que han ajudat a establir BROOKLYN BOXING i han estat socis amb nosaltres aquí a Brooklyn. Tots els implicats continuen augmentant l'esport i us esperem dissabte a la nit. Les entrades es mouen i aquesta podria ser una de les baralles més grans que hem tingut mai al Barclays Center.”

Charlo & Centeno Battle for Interim WBC Middleweight Title

In Premier Boxing Champions Event

BROOKLYN (Abril 13, 2018) – Undefeated former world champion Jermall Charlo and once-beaten contender Hugo Centeno Jr. discussed their upcoming matchup before they step into the ring on Saturday, Abril 21 for the WBC Interim Middleweight Title live on SHOWTIME from Barclays Center, la casa de BROOKLYN BOXA.

 

 

 

The Premier Boxing Champions event is headlined by a showdown between four-division world champion Adrien Broner i campió del món de dues divisions Jessie Vargas. La boxa del campionat Showtime® transmissió comença a 9 p.m. ET / 6 pm. PT with former world champions Gervonta Davis i Jesús Cuellar battling for the WBA 130-pound Super Featherweight World Championship.

 

 

 

Les entrades per a l'esdeveniment en viu, que està promogut per Mayweather Promotions, DiBella Entertainment i Promocions TGB, comença a $50 i es pot comprar aticketmaster.com, barclayscenter.com o trucant al 800-745-3000. Les entrades també es poden comprar a la taquilla d'American Express del Barclays Center. Descomptes per a grups estan disponibles trucant al 844-BKLYN-GP.

 

 

 

El Charlo vs. Centeno bout was moved from an original date of March 3 due to a Centeno rib injury, and now the rescheduled bout is just over a week away, with Centeno fully recovered from the ailment.

 

 

 

“My ribs are fine,” Said Centeno. “It was a minor injury, but there was no way I could have fought on our originally scheduled date when it happened. I feel great now though. It healed perfectly.”

 

 

 

Centeno will now finally face Charlo, the former 154-pound champion and one half of the devastatingly powerful Charlo twins, along with his brother, current 154-pound champion Jermell. For Jermall, this fight is a chance to begin making his mark in a second division.

 

 

 

“I want to send a message to the world that I’m going to dominate the 160-pound division, while my brother proves he’s the best 154-pounder on the planet,” Said Charlo. “Once I get my shot, you will all see what I’m talking about. Hugo Centeno Jr. is just in the way of that process. After April 21, you’ll be able to see what I’m really made of.”

 

 

 

As Centeno winds down training camp at Wild Card Boxing in Hollywood with head trainer Eric Brown, he has made sure to focus on what will happen April 21 instead of any pre-fight talk or hype.

 

 

 

“I am just excited by this opportunity,” Said Centeno. “Charlo can say whatever he wants. None of it is going to affect me. A l'abril 21, it’s just me and him in that ring and anything can happen.

 

 

 

“This has been another great camp for me, even with the injury hitch. I’m a night owl who likes to train at all hours. We go late into the night and I think that helps me on fight night.”

 

 

 

Centeno put himself back into the ranks of middleweight contenders with a highlight reel knockout of Immanuwel Aleem last August. Charlo, però, knows that he will pose a different set of problems for Centeno.

 

 

 

“I’m not Immanuwel Aleem and I’ll let you all see that when April 21 gets here,” Said Charlo. “It’s a whole different ball game when you get in there trying to trade with me. You better have power, so I hope he’s ready for it.”

 

 

 

Charlo has been hard at work in his hometown of Houston, working with head trainer Ronnie Shields. With the extended training camp, Charlo has had time to improve on his already lethal arsenal.

 

 

 

“I’m still improving as a fighter,” Said Charlo. “I’ve gotten faster, sharper and I’m able to take more punches than I used to. I’ve been working hard to increase my punch output as well. Nobody can do what I’m doing in the ring.

 

 

 

“Boxing is all about adjusting and that’s what I’m good at. That’s my best attribute and my team has worked with me so I can make that adjustment on fight night. We always go into the ring ready to fight a different fight than the time before.”

 

 

 

With fight night nearing, both fighters are gearing up to head to Brooklyn with the hopes of announcing themselves as a danger in the 160-pound division on April 21.

 

 

 

 

“I’ve fought on some big stages in my career, but nothing compares to this,” Said Centeno. “This is my first title shot and I’m going to take full advantage. I’m not worried about Charlo or being the underdog or anything really. I know I have what it takes to win this fight.”

 

 

 

“Hugo is in the way of my process right now,” Said Charlo. “I’ve got to go through him to get to my goal. We’ll see if he’s able to hold up against the power, speed and athleticism that I have. Sinó, Vaig a fer-li mal, real bad.”

l'edició d'abril 21 showdown against Broner will be Vargas’ second fight being guided by head trainer and former three-division world champion Micro “The Bodysnatcher” McCallum.

 

 

 

Vargas conducted the media workout from Mayweather Boxing Club as he prepares for the pivotal matchup against Broner. Això és el que Vargas, McCallum i CEO Mayweather Promotions Leonard Ellerbe havia de dir dijous:

 

JESSIE VARGAS

 

 

 

“Adrien Broner and I are entertaining fighters who come in and give it our all. This is a fight that will have a lot of fireworks.

 

 

 

“I brought in a nutritionist for camp who has done a great job informing me of some things that I’ve never done before in my career. I feel stronger and I’ve been finishing up this camp stronger than normal.

 

 

 

“If he comes to fight me on the inside then that’s going to feed right into my game plan. Bring it on. If he wants to come and fight, then we’ll pick him apart bit by bit. We’re ready for any type of fight. Un cop senti el meu poder, he’s going to back up and choose a better route.

 

 

 

“I’m going to switch it up. I’m here to give the fans entertainment. Some moments I’ll go after him and some moments I’ll be the counter-puncher. It’ll be based off what he brings to the ring and we’ll take it from there.

 

 

 

“If Broner feels that he’s going to perform better with coach Kevin Cunningham, then good for him. I want to face the best Adrien Broner. I don’t want any excuses after this. I’m looking forward to beating the best Broner possible on April 21.

 

 

 

“Adrien is fast and explosive, but we’re prepared for it. I have those same skills too. We’ve had great sparring including Devin Haney and Phil Lo Greco just to name a couple. These guys have been able to elevate my skills.

 

 

 

“I feel very fortunate that coach McCallum was able to take on the task of training me and I’m happy to be in my second fight with him. We feel like we’ve already accomplished so much in this relatively short amount of time we’ve been working together.

 

 

 

“Coach McCallum is a tremendous trainer who’s been able to teach me some different techniques. Obviously he’s known as ‘The Bodysnatcher’, so we’ve worked on body shots, but he also knew how to maintain his distance and he emphasizes the mental game. He tells me how he saw every situation during a fight.

 

 

 

“Throughout every round and every day coach is on top of me to make sure I’m feeling good and that my energy is at the right level. He tells me exactly what I need and it’s gotten me here and in the best shape of my career.

 

 

 

“This is a fight that should garner a lot of attention from boxing fans. They deserve a fight like this. It’s two guys coming in at the top of their game and only one of us can take this step forward in our career.

 

 

 

“I’m planning on having my hand-raised in victory. I’ve worked hard in camp so that I can go out there and prove to everyone that I’m a threat to any fighter out there.”

 

MIKE MCCALLUM, Vargas’ Entrenador

 

 

 

 

“We picked up where we left off from Jessie’s last fight in December. He has all the tools he needs, I’m just here to make sure he knows how and when to use them in the ring.

 

 

 

“Everybody knows Broner is a good fighter. It’s going to be an exciting matchup because Jessie is in shape and ready to go.

 

 

 

“We’re ready to fight any kind of style that will beat Broner. We know we’re going to have to box, if he has to do it for 12 rondes, Jessie will be ready. Once they get in close, Jessie has a good punch too and that might surprise Broner.”

 

LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO de Mayweather Promotions

 

 

 

“This is the best card in the sport right now. The main event is a sensational bout. Això és un 50-50 lluita. Both guys need to win this. In Jessie’s case, this win will elevate him with the other elite welterweights that are out there.

 

 

 

“Aquesta és una lluita enorme. It’s a great fight for the fans and we’re very proud to be helping promote this event. It’s going to be a great night and thrilling main event.”
