Abaixo está o que os loitadores tiñan que dicir:

 

Andre "S.O.G." Ward - Campión do mundo de peso pesado lixeiro unificado

“I am looking forward to making a statement in this fight and answering any questions that may be out there and removing any doubt that may be out there, so I’m excited. You got to look at the other side of the coin, there’s a lot of people that thought I won the fight and he got what he asked for. Now after this, we don’t want to hear any excuses. We don’t want to hear about anything. We’re going to shut the door on this and, como dixen, take all doubt and all questions off the table.

 

“In this sport, I have very little room for error. I always have the pressure on my side – no matter if I’m the challenger or the champion. But that’s OK because me and my team, we’ve learned how to deal with the pressure. We know how to deal with it. I come here looking forward to bringing back everything that I brought, including those belts. Estou animado. Eu non podo esperar, we’re a couple days away. All of this talking is getting ready to be over. We’re getting ready for my favorite part, which is the fight. Xuño 17. It’s about business, so I did what I had to do the first time. I’m looking to turn it up this time.

 

“The pressure is always on, un. It comes with my territory and it’s been like this since I’ve been a baby – 16 anos, 17 anos. You get to a point where you don’t run from the pressure, you embrace it. That’s what all the greats do. All I got to do is be myself and that will be enough. Everything else will take care of itself. At the highest level, you’re going to face adversity. It’s not if, it’s when. But the question is how do you respond? We responded like we were supposed to. I’m just looking forward to giving the fans another great fight in a few days here at the Mandalay Bay Events Center on Xuño 17.

 

“A lot of people talk about the jab and the right hand. But if you look at the second part of the fight, el [Kovalev] wasn’t landing right hands and jabs. He had a good moment and he’s a really great fighter – I’m not taking anything away from him. That’s why I want to face the best, para ser o mellor. Some people thought I won, some people thought I lost. So let’s do it again and that’s the beauty of rematches in this sport. It’s nothing to get defensive about. You just lace it up, do it again and we’ll see what happens.

 

“I got out of that business a long time ago - trying to prove people wrong – because it’s not an even playing field. I’ve shut guys out – 120-108; 120-107 on the scorecard – and I’ve literally heard grumblings about something. If it’s not this, it’s that. You get to a place where you mature as a man, you mature as an athlete, and you make the decision that ‘I’m going to live my life in the middle.’ I appreciate the praises, but I can’t get too high with those. And the criticisms – I can’t get too low with those. People are entitled to their opinions. Let me just keep doing me and that’s really the best place to be as an athlete.

 

“Tactically, I obviously want to have a better start and I’m going to have a better start. That’s really what got me in my hole – the start. I’m sure he’s made some adjustments and he’s going to come harder, pero eu estou listo. I’ve done everything I’m supposed to do. When you prepare the way you’re supposed to – and all the boxes are checked – it’s time to go to work. And I’m going to go to work, having fun and enjoying what I do, and put on a show in the process on Xuño 17."

 

Sergey "Krusher" Kovalev - Ex -campión do mundo de peso pesado lixeiro unificado

 

“You know it’s good that he’s believing himself right now, that he’s got the key for me, but he didn’t get the key. He won two rounds against me as empty Kovalev, I remember I was like a heavy bag. Just like a fighter who came in the boxing gym like one month ago. And he’s like right now, ‘oh yeah I beat the Kovalev, but he won with empty Kovalev’.

“For this fight, I definitely had to get in shape, have different emotions and different motivations. I don’t just want to get my belts back and thank boxing fans for the support. I want to thank my haters – they motivate me to keep going. I want to get my belts and I’m here for this.

"Si, my fists will say it. I’ve already said enough. I want to say to Team Ward – they’ve said a lot of trash to my side, my team. He will pay for everything; Eu prometer.

 

“I appreciate him giving me the opportunity to get my belts back and on Xuño 17 it’s going to be a different fight.

“I was empty one month before the November fight. Ward fought an empty Kovalev. This time I will not be empty – Ward will be fighting Krusher. I had pushed myself so hard in the beginning of training camp that one month out I was empty. I felt so much presser for the fight – my first fight on HBO Pay-Per-View – that I just trained too hard.”

WARD-KOVALEV 2: “THE REMATCH”

Sábado, Xuño 17, 2017

AT MANDALAY BAY EVENTS CENTER, LAS VEGAS

PRESENTED LIVE BY HBO PAY-PER-VIEW®

LAS VEGAS, NV (Xuño 8, 2017) - Onte, Campión do mundo de peso pesado lixeiro unificado Andre "S.O.G." Ward (31-0, 15 Kos) participated in an international media conference call ahead of his highly-anticipated rematch against former titleholder Sergey “Krusher” Kovalev (30-1-1, 26 Kos). Ward-Kovalev 2: “The Rematch” takes place Saturday, Xuño 17 no Centro de Eventos Mandalay Bay en Las Vegas. O evento do campionato, Presentado por Corona Extra, will be produced and distributed live by HBO Pay-Per-View® beginning at 9:00 p.m. E/6:00 p.m. PT.

 

Here are some of the highlighted comments from Team Ward:

Andre "S.O.G." Ward - Campión do mundo de peso pesado lixeiro unificado

“It’s a blessing, what the Bay Area fans have always done for me and for what they do for their athletes, whether they’re homegrown or transplants from other cities. They just appreciate the people that go out there and represent them well. And they always return the favor.

 

“I enjoyed my victory just like I would any other victory. People have to understand that anytime there’s a close decision, you’re going to have opinions either way. I’ve never refuted the fact that it was a close decision but all those out there that say that it’s some home cooking, they’ve got to remember that I’m not, vostede sabe, das Veigas, Nevada. You can’t just highlight that side of it. You got to highlight the people that also felt that I deserved the victory and (that it) was a tremendous comeback. It doesn’t take a close decision to get criticism. I’ve shut guys out for 12 rounds and got criticism. So you become immune to it after a certain period of time.

 

“Like I said before, [Kovalev’s] a good fighter. It’s not what it’s cracked up to be and but I give him his respect. He’s a champion and once you become a champion and have defended your belt, you’re a champion for life.

 

“I thought I won the fight by at least two rounds. Con todo, ao final do día, there’s close rounds that you can call a swing round. I don’t know how this individual is judging the round or how they feel about it but if you look at the scorecards, I think the judges did a tremendous job because they were on one accord.

 

“I’m honored to represent my country which I’ve done since I’ve been fortunate enough to do [como] a little boy at the Junior Olympic level all the way up to the Olympics. I’ve had a lot of international competition as a professional and it’s an honor and a privilege to live here in the United States and to represent my country. And I’ve always tried to do that, no matter who I’m fighting.

 

“I think the first fight was a great fight. I think there was a lot of drama in the first fight, more drama than I wanted. I think it was a tremendous fight and I believe, round two is going to be a tremendous fight.

 

“I’ve faced a lot of adversity inside the ring. Vostede sabe, some of it the public has seen. A lot of it, quizais, the public hasn’t seen in the many gyms or the many sparring sessions and everything you’ve got to do to get to a certain level in the sport. I knew what I had in me. I’ve been on the canvas before. I’ve been hurt in fights. I’ve been cut. Things have happened and, vostede sabe, my response has always been the same where if I’m physically able, I want to come get that back. I also have a tremendous coach who is my godfather. You saw him shift and go into a different gear to tell me what I needed to hear. He didn’t panic but he had a sense of urgency and he told me what I needed to hear. He just reminded me of all of the greats that had their moment. And he just reminded me that this is [my] moment. And sometimes in fights, especially in moments like this, it’s not so much technical… it’s a feeling.

 

“On the physical side, it was Virgil having the foresight early on when I was a young boy. He saw that I had a lot of ability and skills. He always told me that I don’t look at the things [Eu] do well, I look at where you can be beat. He said when I was 11, 12 (ou) 13 anos, ‘The only style that can give you trouble right now is a buzz saw.’

 

“The jab is a lost art today. Skilled inside fighting is really a lost art and a lot of guys don’t want to be there. They want you at range. They want you in a certain place and if they can’t have you there then you see a totally different fighter.

 

“So outside of my family, I didn’t really have a lot of ex-fighters that I could pick up the phone and call. So I just try to be available, have my phone available, and make the time where I need to make the time (for some of the younger fighters). They’ll let you know what they need to talk about and what they want to talk about. If I have the answer, I’m going to definitely give them everything that I can give them. If I don’t, I’ll try to help them find it because at the end of the day, whether it’s Claressa [Shields] or Shakur [Stevenson], I’m for the fighter. I’m pro fighter. We talk about [adestramento] stuff but it’s also more about life—being stable and making the right decisions now so that down the road, you’re happy that you did what you had to do. It’s an honor and a privilege to be someone that any of those fighters would want to pick up the phone and call. I don’t look at it like a burden. It’s an honor and a privilege.”

 

Virgil Hunter – Trainer of Andre Ward

“We’ve had a good camp. We’ve had a very smooth camp, the way you would like them to be. Sometimes it can’t always turn out that way but we are fortunate enough this time to have everything clicking. It’s good to see Andre in the gym after four fights and see him getting back and closer and closer to who he truly is—not just as a warrior and a battler and an individual who has a lot of dog in him but also that very skilled pugilist. I’m looking forward toXuño 17 and let Andre do the talking that night with his left and his right hand.

 

"[Andre is] a professional and he’s been through this for the 24 years of his life. You have to understand when he went to the Olympics he wasn’t with me at all for three months. So he’s a professional. He knows what to do. He’s my least worry of leaving town for a week. It’s part of the sport. It’s part of the game. And when you have a professional like Andre, vostede sabe, you don’t worry about those things.

 

“Well the opponent definitely won’t see the same fighter in this fight for a number of reasons. No need to disclose but we always go in with several plans or any plan that needs to be implemented at any given time. Claro, I’m not going to ask him to do anything that I know he can’t do or hasn’t worked on or hasn’t practiced but we’re fortunate enough to be able to adjust and also adapt. I believe that what we worked on for Plan A is going to be more than enough.

 

“An amateur is when you’re at the top level and you fight at a top level. You go into national tournaments and tend to see some opponents more than once and more than twice. So in a sense, [Outro] has had rematches. As far as this rematch is concern all I can say is ‘oh boy.’ That’s all I can say.

 

“There wasn’t any fear or trepidation going into the first match. You can’t have that. Claro, you’re aware of what the opponent brings. We’re aware that you have a bigger opponent or a stronger opponent, an opponent that can punch. We’re aware of all that but we’ve been through that before. I mean when he fought in the Olympics at light heavyweight people don’t know or they never acknowledge the fact that he was only 170 libras. Así, he was giving up weight, height and size there. Así, he’s used to it. He’s accustomed to it. And because of his physical strength and his stamina and his IQ he’s able to overcome all of these so-called advantages that the other fighter might have. Así, once again we respect our opponent and we respect Kovalev on what he has done and what he’s capable of doing. And it’s a healthy respect but it’s not a respect that’s going to stop him from getting smashed Xuño 17.

 

“My job is to be in that realistic moment. Sei [Outro] would embrace and understand what I was saying because it’s been between he and I, things we’ve talked about over the years many, many times. Sometimes you just have to put the strategy out the window and appeal to who you know that fighter is. And I know who he is.”

Josh Dubin – Advisor and Attorney of Andre Ward

“On behalf of James Prince and myself, I just want to thank everybody for participating in the call. We are extremely grateful for the support of HBO, all of our sponsors that have stepped up and of course, Roc Nation. At the risk of making Virgil a little bit more uncomfortable, I do feel like from top to bottom we just have the best team out there and certainly, the best trainer in the world. I feel blessed to be part of such a historic event. I know that on Xuño 17 you’re going to see magic in that ring and one of the best, if not the best ever, step into the ring to do his thing yet again.”

Michael R. Yormark – Presidente da nación ROC & Xefe de marca e estratexia

“Obviously, Ward-Kovalev 2: “The Rematch” has the potential to be the fight of the year. As you have heard and as you’ve written these fighters don’t like each other. These fighters don’t have respect for one another and this obviously creates a lot of buzz, a lot of curiosity and a lot of anticipation for next week’s fight.

 

“As you’ve heard Andre state time and time again after this fight there will be no excuses. And without a doubt the winner of this fight will absolutely be the pound-for-pound king in the sport of boxing.”

MIAMI, FL (Maio 19, 2017) – Yesterday, reigning WBA World Super Bantamweight Champion Guillermo “El Chacal” Rigondeaux (17-0, 11 Kos) and USBA Middleweight Champion Luís "Cuba" Arias (17-0, 8 Kos) participated in a media workout at the historic Tropical Park boxing gym in Miami. Both fighters are preparing for championship defenses on the HBO Pay-Per-View telecast of Andre Ward vs. Sergey Kovalev 2: “The Rematch” on Sábado, Xuño 17 no Centro de Eventos Mandalay Bay en Las Vegas. Rigondeaux will face interim WBA title holderMoises “Chucky” Flores (25-0, 17 Kos), while Arias takes on rising prospect Arif “The Predator” Magomedov (18-1, 11 Kos). O evento do campionato, Presentado por Corona Extra, will be produced and distributed live by HBO Pay-Per-View® beginning at 9:00 p.m. E/6:00 p.m. PT.

 

The fighters put on a showcase that included shadow boxing, heavy bag, mitt work and stretching. They were joined by Roc Nation Latin artist Victoria La Mala, who will be the national anthem performer for Xuño 17.

 

Below is what the fighters and La Mala had to say during the media workout:

Guillermo Rigondeaux, WBA World Super Bantamweight Champion:

“Training has been going excellent in Miami, we have been preparing for a great battle with Moises Flores. I respect Chucky, he’s a great fighter and these are the types of big fights that are great for boxing. Nothing better than two undefeated fighters putting their records on the line.

 

“Flores is going to come prepared for the fight of his life and so am I. We never underestimate anyone and two undefeated warriors will be getting in the ring for an exciting fight on June 17.

 

“I have been constantly avoided by all the fighters in my division. I am the best in the world at 122 pounds and one of the top pound-for-pound fighters. I can’t wait to show the world that I am still the best. I thank Flores for having the courage to get in the ring with me unlike many top contenders that have avoided the challenge. Tune in Xuño 17 to watch two fighters bring all that they have to the ring. It’s going to be an exciting co-main event on this year’s biggest boxing card.

 

“I’m happy for the opportunity to be part of such a big Pay-Per-View event, one of the biggest anticipated fights of the year – Ward vs. Kovalev 2. I’m very grateful to fight on such a big platform, and I want to let boxing fans know to expect nothing but an exciting fight. My opponents feel my power and run after the first round. Chucky Flores is a brave undefeated boxer that is coming with all he has, and we’re ready to show why each of us is the best come Xuño 17.

 

“I’ve had everyone in my division run away from any mentions of me in the ring with them. My team is first focused on the Flores fight, and we’re ready to come and fight the best names in my division so that we can give the fans what they pay big Pay-Per-View money for, big exciting fights.

 

“I’m grateful to be a part of such a close community here in Miami, FL especially my boxing family at Tropical Park Boxing Gym. Miami is my home and I have all the support with me down here. I’m thankful for all the support that my fans brought during my training camp here in Miami. We have been able to bring boxing back here in Miami and make a great impact on the community, especially all the families that come to the park.”

LUIS ARIAS, USBA Middleweight Champion:

 

"Xuño 17, I start cementing my name and legacy in this game! I’m ready to steal the show and prove that I stand amongst the best in the division.

 

“I’ve stepped up all levels of training. I train six days a week with two hours of boxing, one hour of strength and conditioning, and run 3.5 - 5 miles on average. I’m also working with one of the top nutritionists, Chris Alergi. He helps me with what to eat and how to monitor my weight. Can’t wait to show all of my progress on Xuño 17.

 

“My message to Magomedov is simple…I hope he comes ready. He better be doing ‘em sit-ups. I’m coming!

 

“When I step in the ring, it’s not just about getting a win anymore. It’s about winning and looking good. I’ve built up my record. Agora, I’m looking to put on an A-class performance. That’s what is going to make me stand out.

 

“My goal for the second half of 2017 is to put myself in top ‘contender’ position for what is probably the most stacked division in professional boxing. GGG, Canelo, Lemieux…bring them on!"

 

VICTORIA LA MALA:

“It’s an honor to be singing the national anthem at such an anticipated boxing event. Being from a Mexican family, I grew up watching boxing and am a huge fan of Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. I can’t wait to cheer on my Roc family–Outro, Rigo and Luis–en Xuño 17."

LUIS ARIAS VS. ARIF MAGOMEDOV USBA MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP ADDED TO ANDRE WARD VS. SERGEY KOVALEV PAY-PER-VIEW UNDERCARD

WARD-KOVALEV 2: “THE REMATCH” SET FOR Sábado, Xuño 17, 2017 AT MANDALAY BAY EVENTS CENTER, LAS VEGAS

PRESENTED LIVE BY HBO PAY-PER-VIEW®

 

Nova York, Nova York (Abril 27, 2017) - USBA Middleweight Champion Luís "Cuba" Arias (17-0, 8 Kos) and prime contender Arif “The Predator” Magomedov (18-1, 11 Kos) will lead off the HBO Pay-Per-View lineup for Andre Ward vs. Sergey Kovalev 2: “The Rematch” on Sábado, Xuño 17 no Centro de Eventos Mandalay Bay en Las Vegas. O evento do campionato, Presentado por Corona Extra, producirase e distribuirase en directo mediante paga por vista HBO® comezando o 9:00 p.m. E/6:00 p.m. PT.

 

Arias will be defending his title and undefeated record against one of the division’s top prospects. Magomedov has previously held the WBO’s Inter-Continental, Youth and NABO middleweight titles with only a single career loss coming against Andrew Hernandez for the vacant WBC USNBC middleweight title. Both fighters are eager to make an impression during their Las Vegas debut.

 

“Finally my opportunity has come. The road to the big stage has been long but it’s here and I’m ready. It’s time to prove to the world that I am a threat to anyone in this division. I have been saying it for some time, my record shows it, but now I’ll get the chance to prove it,” said Arias. “I’m coming to make a statement on Xuño 17! My opponent has been beat before and will be beat again. Thanks to Roc Nation Sports and my handlers for making this happen. A new star will be born.”

 

“My goal is to be a world champion. I have been waiting for a fight like this. Arias is a tough opponent but I will be ready for him,” said Magomedov. “I am so excited to work with my new trainer, Marco Contreras and to fight on HBO Pay-Per-View. Be ready for ‘The Predator’ on Xuño 17."

 

“If the heat between the Ward-Kovalev rivalry hasn’t been felt yet, then the cross promotional matchup of Roc Nation Sports’ Luis Arias and Main Events’ Arif Magomedov will certainly add fuel to the fire,” said Roc Nation President & Chief of Branding and Strategy Michael R. Yormark. “We are excited to have USBA Middleweight Champion Luis Arias make his Las Vegas debut and open the HBO Pay-Per-View telecast with a title defense on June 17 against Arif Magomedov.”

 

“Arif has been ready for this fight since the first Kovalev-Ward card in November. We are so pleased to finally give him this match-up,” said Main Events CEO Kathy Duva. “This is a huge opportunity for both Arif and Luis to test themselves on such a big stage. A win or a good showing by either fighter could catapult them in the rankings and put them on the map in this stacked middleweight division.”

 

USBA Middleweight Champion Luís "Cuba" Arias (17-0, 8 Kos), 26, takes great pride in his Cuban heritage. The Milwaukee-native chose his nickname in homage to his father’s homeland and its people, honoring them each time he steps into the ring. A former USA junior amateur standout, Arias made his professional debut on November 10, 2012 at Staples Center in Los Angeles, California, where he defeated Josh Thorpe via a four-round unanimous decision. Since joining Roc Nation Sports in February of 2015, Arias has advanced his undefeated record, paving way for his first title shot on August 20, 2016. In a homecoming at the Milwaukee Center, Arias captured the vacant USBA Middleweight title with a stoppage of Detroit’s Darryl Cunningham at the 1:11marca da cuarta rolda. Arias successfully defended his title on March 31, 2017 at the Carnegie Music Hall in Pittsburgh, winning a 10-round unanimous decision over Virginia’s Scott Sigmon. Os tres xuíces marcaron a loita 99-91 for Arias who put on a potent body punching display to settle a long-standing grudge with Sigmon.

Arif “The Predator” Magomedov (18-1, 11 Kos), 24, is a middleweight from Kizlyar, Rusia. He made his professional debut in January of 2013 when he earned a decision win over Ruslan Sirazhev in Russia. Magomedov would go on to finish 2013 cun estrondo, posting a record of 8-0 con 6 KOs and none of those six opponents made it past the third round. He made his US debut in April of 2015 when he unanimously outpointed tough journeyman Derrick Findley. En maio de 2015, he earned one of the biggest wins of his career when he scored a first-round knockout over the always tough and durable Darnell Boone. In July of 2015, Magomedov cruised to a unanimous decision win over previously undefeated and rising prospect Derrick Webster. Na súa loita máis recente, Magomedov scored a second-round TKO over Chris Herrmann in Moscow, Rusia. Arif is co-promoted by Main Events and Shamo Boxing and managed by Egis Klimas.

WARD-KOVALEV 2: “THE REMATCH” SET FOR Sábado, Xuño 17, 2017

AT MANDALAY BAY EVENTS CENTER, LAS VEGAS

PRESENTADO directo pola HBO Pay-Per-View®

 

Nova York, Nova York (Abril 19, 2017) - Reigning WBA World Super Bantamweight Champion Guillermo “El Chacal” Rigondeaux (17-0, 11 Kos) will face WBA interim titleholder Moises “Chucky” Flores (25-0, 17 Kos) in a long-awaited mandatory 12-round WBA title defense that will tarnish one fighter’s perfect record. Rigondeaux vs. Flores has officially been added to the Pay-Per-View undercard of Ward-Kovalev 2: “The Rematch” at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas on Sábado, Xuño 17.

“I would like to thank Roc Nation Sports, Caribe Promotions and HBO for the opportunity to fight on the biggest Pay-Per-View card of the year. It will be a night of great boxing that fans will not want to miss out on. It’s going to be a chance to show HBO what they want to see. Some say I’m not exciting but it’s not my fault that once my opponents feel my power, they start running and stop throwing punches. Regardless of that, I’m going to give them what they want. I will be standing in the middle of the ring toe-to-toe and putting on a show for the fans. This is where I’ll show the world what my fans got to see in my last fight in the UK against [James] Dickens,” said Rigondeaux. “I want to thank Moises Flores for having the courage to step in the ring with me and accepting the mandatory challenge unlike many great fighters in my division. Moises is an exciting Mexican fighter who will bring a fight. I will be ready to exhibit why I am one of the best pound-for-pound boxers and the world’s best at 122 libras. I’m ready to give fans the best fight out there, and the best is to come the evening of Xuño 17."

 

“I’m very excited to have my world title fight with Guillermo Rigondeaux rescheduled for Sábado, Xuño 17 on HBO Pay-Per-View,” said Flores. “I’d like to thank my team at Probox Management and TGB Promotions along with HBO for providing this opportunity. I never stopped my preparations from the original date and look forward to making the Mexican fans proud when I defeat the great Rigondeaux.”

 

“Roc Nation Sports is thrilled to add Guillermo Rigondeaux’s championship defense against Moises Flores to the Pay-Per-View undercard of Ward-Kovalev 2: ‘The Rematch’,” said Roc Nation President & Chief of Branding and Strategy Michael R. Yormark. “We know these two champions are ready and eager to put on a big performance on boxing’s biggest stage and undoubtedly, ahead of the most anticipated fight of the year.”

 

“TGB Promotions is proud of this world title opportunity for Moises ‘Chucky’ Flores as he takes on one of the premier fighters in the sport, Guillermo Rigondeaux,” said Tom Brown, Presidente da TGB Promocións. “Chucky is well prepared and looking forward to making the Mexican fans proud of their new World Champion on Xuño 17."

 

Guillermo “El Chacal” Rigondeaux (17-0, 11 Kos), was one of the most celebrated amateur boxers in Cuba before defecting and making his professional debut on May 22, 2009 en Miami, Florida. High expectations had no ill effect on Rigondeaux as he tore through his next five opponents. No Novembro 13, 2010, in just his seventh pro fight, Rigondeaux faced Ricardo Cordoba for the vacant interim WBA World Super Bantamweight title and left the ring with the belt after scoring a split decision victory. Rigondeaux turned his attention to supremacy in the 122-pound division and accomplished what many considered the unthinkable by knocking out WBA World Super Bantamweight Champion Rico Ramos on January 20, 2012, becoming a world champion in fewer than 10 loitas profesionais. En abril 13, 2013 at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, Rigondeaux scored his biggest victory to date by defeatingWBO and Ring Magazine World Champion and 2012 Fighter of the Year Nonito Donaire. Rigondeaux came away with the victory by unanimous decision after out landing and out punching Donaire throughout the fight to unify titles. In November of 2015, Roc Nation Sports announced that it had signed Rigondeaux to an exclusive promotional agreement and featured him on the HBO Pay-Per-View undercard of the Miguel Cotto vs. Canelo Alvarez mega-fight at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, where he defeated veteran Drian Francisco via a 10-round unanimous decision. Prior to beating Francisco, Rigondeaux was stripped of his title belts due to inactivity, but remained the WBA champion in recess. En maio de 2016, Roc Nation Sports announced that Rigondeaux was reinstated of his WBA belt ahead of a 12-round WBA World Super Bantamweight championship showdown against number 13 rated WBA super bantamweight contender Jazza Dickens on Xullo 16 at the Cardiff Ice Arena in Wales. In his first ever appearance in the United Kingdom, Rigondeaux gave fans a thrilling knockout against Dickens. The southpaw landed a big left hook, shattering Dickens’s jaw, halting the fight in the second round with a referee’s decision. Rigondeaux will be raring to go on Xuño 17 in his title defense against interim champion Moises Flores.

 

Moises “Chucky” Flores (25-0, 17 Kos) learned the fight game growing up in Guadalajara, México, and spent the early years of his professional career building up his résumé in his home country. Now established as a title contender at 122 libras, Flores looks to climb to the top of the division with his considerable talent. Flores is exceptionally tall for his weight class, measuring in at 5 feet 9 inches. Como tal, he tends to have a reach advantage over most of his opponents, although Flores isn’t one to merely fire punches from a distance and box from the outside. He likes to mix it up, and his record reflects that, with most of his opponents going down by knockout. Flores made his pro debut in August 2008 with a second round knockout of Oswaldo Salgado in Guadalajara, México. He fought exclusively in Mexico over the first six years of his career and made quick work of most of his opponents. Flores made his U.S. debut in September 2014, winning a six round unanimous decision over Pablo Batres in Mesquite, Texas. He then gained a seventh round technical knockout of Mexican veteran Mario Macias in Tulsa, Oklahoma, en novembro 2014. That victory set up a 122-pound title shot against interim WBA World Super Bantamweight Champion Oscar Escandon in Carson, California, en abril 2015. In an electrifying, all-action brawl, Flores earned a split decision to win the title. In his last two fights, Flores was able to defend the interim WBA World Super Bantamweight title against Luis Emanuel Cusolito, while also adding the IBO World Super Bantamweight title against Paulus Ambunda. Flores looks forward to claiming the full rights to the WBA World Super Bantamweight title on Xuño 17 when he faces current champion Guillermo Rigondeaux in a 12-round championship showdown.

A continuación móstrase o que tiveron que dicir os hóspedes de loitadores e dais na conferencia de prensa:

Andre "S.O.G." Ward - Campión do mundo de peso pesado lixeiro unificado

“Agradezo a todos por saír hoxe. Sempre é bo estar na casa da baía. É incrible como en pouco tempo, oito, nove, dez anos, Poñemos a baía no mapa en termos do mundo do boxeo. Oakland adoitaba ser unha gran cidade de loita, E fuximos dela. Pero a través de min e de moitos outros mozos loitadores, contendentes que quizais non tiveron oportunidades que me brindaron, Estamos facendo a nosa parte para seguir representando a baía dun xeito importante e iso é unha cousa fermosa.

 

"Estou emocionado con esta revancha. Estas son as cousas que soñei de neno. Eu quero iso. Encántame a volta e cara atrás, Algunhas persoas están comigo e outras persoas non están comigo. Non me importa as cousas das que falan nas redes sociais. Esa é a percepción. Intento tratar na realidade.

 

“Ao final do día, tes que verme Xuño 17, Temos que loitar. Non me importa o que dis, Non me importa o que diga o equipo. Isto vai facer titulares. Isto é todo bo e parte do negocio. Comprendo moi ben o negocio e estou ben con iso. Pero se me coñeces, o mundo do boxeo coñécese, A zona da baía coñéceme: non teño que facer moito falando. Aos meus mozos que veñen, Non tes que falar moito. Só tes que aparecer cando deberías aparecer. Bloquear e facer o que tes que facer para preparar, E cando chega o momento nese maior momento en que se acenden as luces, Atopa un xeito de facelo.

 

“O boxeo agora mesmo non é como antes. É un clima agora mesmo onde falan moito. Os rapaces non fan o que din que van facer. Non actúan e logo atopan escusas por por que non actuaron. Só hai un puñado de rapaces na historia que sei que falou e logo respaldouno. Non o temos moito diso hoxe. Así, Non está ben non ser o falante máis alto da habitación, Pero cando chega o momento de brillar, Sexa ese tipo. Sexa o traballador máis duro. E outra cousa, Quero animar a todos os loitadores desta habitación; non deixas que ninguén te golpee antes de entrar no ring. Non me importa o que dis, De onde es, Cal é a túa reputación, É un respecto saudable que tes que un rival para prepararse física e mentalmente, tes que ter iso. Pero non deixas a ninguén: medios de comunicación, emisoras, loitadores, ninguén - venceu antes de entrar no ring. Vostede fai que o gañe. E se o fan, propina o sombreiro e dálle crédito. Pero non me golpeas por reputación. Esta é a primeira vez que este equipo coñece a un equipo onde as cousas non funcionan. Vostede me venceu, Vai gañalo.

 

"Espero que sexa o mellor que poida ser. Espero que faga os axustes que debería facer. Imos prepararnos. Non o estamos dando por feito. Iso é o que son as grandes revisións e as grandes pelexas. Quero o mellor Sergey. Quero que o seu equipo estea centrado. Quero que estea centrado e sei que o meu equipo vai estar centrado. Vexamos o que pasa. A pregunta que teño para el e o seu equipo é, Con todo ese alto falante, Quen estás intentando convencer? Eu ou el?"

Sergey "Krusher" Kovalev - Ex -campión do mundo de peso pesado lixeiro unificado

“O outro lado está dicindo que teño que demostrar moito, Teño que amosar moito. Non necesito probar nin mostrar nada. Eu mostrei e probei todo Novembro 19. Calquera que non o vira ou non o pensa, Vai velo Xuño 17. Isto é o que prometo e isto é o que vou facer. Os que pensan na vitoria de Andre Ward, Aínda podes rezar por el porque o vou amosar Xuño 17. Conseguiu dalgún xeito eses cintos. Eu creo que Xuño 17 Vai ser o día en que todo o mundo vai ver como debería ser. "

Michael Yormark – Presidente da nación ROC & Xefe de marca e estratexia

“Ola Oakland! Estamos moi felices de estar aquí hoxe. Hoxe é un día realmente especial para esta comunidade, para esta cidade. Oakland é sinónimo de traballo duro, dureza, lealdade e orgullo. Hoxe volve o fillo nativo. Un home que represente todas esas características estará diante de ti, E a diferenza de moitos no mundo do deporte profesional, Andre Ward está aquí para loitar por Oakland! O mellor boxeador do mundo, a cara do seu deporte, o heroe e a icona desta cidade histórica: loita por ti. Fíxoo o pasado novembro, Cando escenificou unha épica remontada contra o perigoso Sergey Kovalev, e xurdiu vitorioso. Despois da vitoria de Andre, falouse moito, Moito debate, Moita especulación, Moitas desculpas. Pero Oakland non fai desculpas, Oakland non fala, Actos de Oakland.

 

“Nunha das súas últimas publicacións, Sergey dixo que Andre "palmadas como a muller". Asuntos gramaticais á parte, En nome de todas as fortes mulleres de Oakland na audiencia hoxe gustaríame dicir "Grazas Sergey polo eloxio". Como alguén que pasou a mellor parte das últimas tres décadas promovendo eventos de deportes e entretemento, Vou darlle moito crédito a Sergey: onte tivo algúns grandes sonidos en Nova York. Dixo que "Andre leva unha coroa". En realidade Sergey, son cintos, Deberías sabelo, Creo que un par deles era o teu. Dixo que non lle gusta a Andre, o que achega o número de persoas aquí en Oakland que non lles gusta a Andre ata un total de dous: Ti e Kathy. Pero con toda seriedade, As apostas non poderían ser máis altas para esta revancha e cando Sergey di que Andre "non aparecerá para esta loita,"Iso dime que non fixo a súa investigación. Andre construíu a súa carreira en Shining máis brillante nos momentos máis grandes. Xuño 17 é o maior dos momentos – Máis que gañar e cintos de campionato, Esta loita finalmente dictará o destino do legado de cada loitador.

“Este é o tipo de loita que se decide por orgullo, tripas, dureza, superando a adversidade, e quen só o quere máis. Para Andre Ward, Ser criado pola cidade de Oakland é a súa vantaxe última. Naceu cun talento e capacidade incribles, Pero Oakland deulle a súa dureza, O seu orgullo e a súa estraña capacidade de mirar calquera reto, e dominalo. Xuño 17 non será diferente - ao final da noite só haberá un campión, E non haberá desculpas ".

Kathy Duva - CEO de eventos principais

"Se Andre Ward é a metade tan difícil no ring como as conversas do seu promotor, Supoño que Sergey pode ter as mans cheas. Pero chegamos a Las Vegas en xuño e Sergey ten un obxectivo en mente e iso é asegurarse de que o gañador gaña a loita esta vez esta vez.

 

"Sergey Kovalev é probablemente o maior perfeccionista que coñecín. Vinlle a afastarse das pelexas que derrubou ao seu rival en dúas roldas, E logo pide desculpas pola súa actuación. Todo o mundo segue falando de escusas do outro lado, E ninguén está a facer ningún. Está a culpar a si mesmo, Pediu desculpas aos seus fans por non facer esa vitoria o suficientemente enfática para que a xente non o puidese sacar del porque, Con todo o respecto no mundo a Andre Ward, Non gañou os cintos de Sergey que foron sacados de Sergey. "

James Prince - Xerente de Andre Ward

"Estamos entusiasmados Xuño 17, Como fomos o ano pasado cando nos ocupamos de Goliat aquí. Sabemos o que tiñamos que ver con eles, e agora Xuño 17 está xusto á volta da esquina. Non sei se o director de Sergio repetiu todo o que dicía Sergio. Parecía ser unha desconexión. Non sei se quería dicir o que dicía. Creo que hoxe están confusos xa que van estar activados Xuño 17 no ring cando ve que non pode realizar as cousas que quere realizar.

 

"Díxeno onte e reiterino hoxe. Por algún motivo, Teño a sensación de que pensa que alguén ten medo del. Os matóns pensan así. Sente que pode dicir cousas e impoñer medo nos homes do corazón de Deus. Díxenlle homes de Deus, Non tememos nada porque sabemos que ningunha arma formada contra nós prosperará. Sei que Andre Ward non precisa axuda con el, Coas ameazas que está facendo e sente como se quere golpear a Andre Ward na cabeza. Unha palabra para os sabios, A todo o que escoita: faga o que tes que facer no ring, Porque estás nun lugar que se chama negocio da cidade. Non xogamos a ese tipo de xogos fóra do ring. Mantémonos centrados e intentamos intentar golpealo na cabeza no ring, Porque vas ter problemas con iso. Pero terás grandes grandes problemas fóra do ring.

 

"O equipo de Andre Ward significa algo para el. Cando falamos, As nosas palabras levan valor. Para que te leves aquí e actúe como o que dicimos non significa nada, Quizais así sexa en Rusia, pero nos Estados Unidos de América puxemos valor no que dicimos. Unha vez máis, os Estados Unidos de América serán vitoriosos Xuño 17, e non se prosperarán armas contra nós. "

EGIS clima - Xerente de Sergey Kovalev

“Falar é moi, Moi barato. Confía en min, Levo un tempo neste negocio, E xa o vin moitas veces. Xestores, trainers, Os promotores entran e falan moita merda no micrófono. Pero logo chega á noite, Estes son os dous homes que van ir ao ring, E van loitar. Nada que ver coa promoción, Nada que ver co xestor, nada que ver cos adestradores. Os adestradores poden estar dándolles os consellos, Pero estes dous rapaces van sobrevivir.

 

"Non podes mentir aos ollos da xente co que viron Novembro 19. Non vou falar diso. Non vou ir alí porque xa é historia. Esquéceo. Quero que todo o mundo vexa quen vai vir a Vegas Xuño 17, Que vai pasar. Quero agradecer a todos os que estean involucrados nesta loita e xuntalo, HBO Pay-Per-View. Quero agradecer como sempre os medios de comunicación porque sen vostedes ninguén saberá o que pasou aquí. "

Virgil Hunter - Adestrador de Andre Ward

"É unha boa loita Xuño 17 contra o peso pesado máis perigoso e máis temido do mundo, Sergey Kovalev contra un afortunado home vitorioso en Andre Ward. Así, Supoño que esta loita aquí o resolverá practicamente. Creo que se miras os feitos realistas de todo, Creo que só Sergey estivo nos medios de comunicación falando. Creo que o señor. Klimas debería entender que non dixemos unha palabra. O outro lado falou de acabar coas carreiras da xente para golpearte a insultar a Deus Todopoderoso. Todo o que vén deste lado polo que entendemos o que pasa e creo que ten moita dúbida, É moita rabia. Non vexo o adestrador Jackson aquí hoxe e para ser honesto non espero velo Xuño 17 Porque tes que poñer a culpa nalgún lugar.

 

"Busco unha boa loita. Sergey Kovalev definitivamente non está subestimado. Non teño ningún problema para dicir que antes de loitar era un fan seu. Sigo sendo fan dos seus. Simplemente non serei fan Xuño 17. Isto non son eu soprando fume. Admiro a súa habilidade. Sempre souben que se nos atopamos uns cos outros que ía ser unha loita difícil, loita difícil, e unha loita de atracción. E espero o mesmo Xuño 17.

 

"Creo que Andre o dixo mellor cando dixo que alguén ía romper nesa loita. Pero estaría ben entrar niso sen morder a man que che alimentou. Todo o mundo é un experto dos xornalistas aos anunciantes á hora de xulgar unha loita. De súpeto, Todos estaban mal esa noite. Así, Creo que iso é un insulto ao que pasa no boxeo. Creo que non estaba ben. Creo que se equivocou especialmente desde que HBO construíu a Sergey na estrela que é con razón. Como dixen antes e direiche hoxe, Desafío a ninguén a sentarme comigo e amosarme onde gañou a loita. Loitou contra unha pelexa porque é un inferno dun loitador, Pero non gañou a loita.

 

“Entón, Supoño que se responderán todas as respostas Xuño 17. O meu consello é relaxarse, Non teñas éxito. Non podes beber ano e ano fóra e esperar nalgún momento para que non te poñas ao día e apostaría por cartos que se puidésemos ir internamente e ver dentro que é unha das causas que lle causan fatigado agora. Non é o adestramento excesivo, non é isto e non é iso. Son só os rapaces están de pé e van 12 roldas agora. Pero non podes beber vodka ano e ano e esperar na noite de loita para loitar contra alguén como Andre. "

Tony Walker - Vicepresidente, HBO Pay-Per-View

"En nome do meu vicepresidente executivo Peter Nelson e o resto do persoal de HBO, gustaríame agradecer a todos por saír hoxe a falar de boxeo de gran tempo. Primeiro, Quero agradecer a Michael e Kathy e ao seu persoal en Roc Nation e eventos principais.Non é fácil xuntar grandes loitas por moito que todo o mundo o desexe e os loitadores o quixeron. Os promotores funcionaron e temos aquí Xuño 17 un dos maiores eventos deportivos do ano.

 

“Tamén me gustaría agradecer, como fixo Michael, a comunidade de Oakland. Esta sempre foi unha cidade de boxeo. Temos grandes números de espectadores de Oakland e toda a zona da baía, non importa quen pareza loitar. Así, Agradecemos o apoio: encántanos o apoio que prestas a Andre. Un gran tipo de casa en todos os sentidos e sabemos que imos facer algúns grandes negocios aquí na zona de Oakland e en toda a zona da baía para a loita.

 

"Gustaríame dicir que a loita será distribuída por todos os distribuidores habituais, o cable, as compañías de satélite e teléfono e garante unha boa foto, gran son, e unha gran emisión esa noite polo prezo polo miúdo suxerido de $54.95. Pensamos que temos o mellor equipo de transmisión no negocio e que será unha noite divertida para reunir amigos e familiares para un gran evento deportivo.

 

“Só diría que cando estea moito na liña, Como hai nesta loita, Hai drama - e non hai mellor televisión cando o drama está implicado. Así, Moitas grazas e esperamos se non te vemos en Las Vegas, espero que teñas a oportunidade de vela en HBO Pay-por vista. "

A continuación móstrase o que tiveron que dicir os hóspedes de loitadores e dais na conferencia de prensa:

Andre "S.O.G." Ward - Campión do mundo de peso pesado lixeiro unificado

"Quero agradecer a todos por saír hoxe - os medios de comunicación, obviamente, HBO, Peter Nelson e todo o seu equipo, Estes rapaces traballan incansablemente para facer este tipo de cousas. Agradezo o meu equipo, James Prince, Josh Dubin, Roc Nation e todos en Roc Nation, JAY Z, Juan e Desiree Pérez, Michael Yormark. É importante ter un bo equipo. Falamos moito de loitar, Falamos de todos os encontros, Pero cando falamos de apoio, Está arruinado. Cando vemos loitadores 10, 15, 20 anos a partir de agora Botando nunha habitación, nada para amosar o que loitaron, que está todo ben. Pola graza de Deus e a través do meu equipo, iso non me vai pasar.

 

“Por desgraza, Hai percepción e hai realidade. A percepción é cada cousa que se escribe, Cada opinión pero a medida que medras e aprendes este negocio, Non se trata de percepción. Ninguén pode apuntar a unha loita onde me volvín. Non un punto. Isto non está no meu historial. Así, Non me importa a percepción. Non me importa Instagram. Este é o xadrez, non comprobadores. Podes facer todas as regras que queres facer, Pero trátase do checkmate. Foi entón cando rematou o xogo.

 

“O meu equipo está a traballar na vida despois do boxeo. Educándome nos insaltos e fóra. Moita xente fala de cartos, Pero non falan da cabeza. Non falan dos patrocinios persoais para a loita, e as túas obrigas para o patrocinio. Non falan dos dereitos de televisión e dos dereitos estranxeiros, a mercadoría. "Sexa duro, Manter o foco, destruír a loita ”. Non estou con ese home. Quero todo, Quero entendelo todo. A loita non é o final.

 

“Teñen que entendelo, Non hai nada de medo sobre este home. Decátaste de que acabamos de loitar 12 roldas hai catro meses? Todo o mundo quere resaltar o derribo, Probablemente sexa un dos momentos máis fermosos da miña carreira. E viches o outro 10 rounds? Ninguén fala diso. Pero iso é o que nos fai quen somos. É un formigón duro alí abaixo, Non queremos caer. Temos outra unidade, Temos outro equipo no que temos que aproveitar cando chegamos á adversidade e golpeamos os canóns. Vós viches iso, No maior momento da miña carreira.

 

"Non cheguei a onde estou porque hai algo único sobre min. Non cheguei a este punto por casualidade. A algúns pode que non lle guste, Pero tes que respectalo. Non tes que, Pero gañamos a posición que temos. Non nos importa que non sexan subestimados. A loita é académica. Cando o meu equipo o iluminou verde, Dixen adiante e anuncialo. A realidade é, tes que verme Xuño 17. Esa é a realidade da situación. Encántame falar, Todo está ben. Botamos a cabeza por 12 rounds, Esa é a realidade da situación. Sentíame, El sabe. En Xuño 17, Así imos facer. Imos comezar un pouco cedo. Tanto se estás comigo, ou se estás en contra de min, Sintoniza. Agradece o tempo de todos. Non perda esta loita, Xuño 17. Tes o que pediches ".

Sergey "Krusher" Kovalev - Ex -campión do mundo de peso pesado lixeiro unificado

“Ola a todos. Estou agradecido de que terá lugar a loita Xuño 17. Ben, terá lugar no papel por agora. Aprecio o meu equipo e o equipo de equipo de que esta loita realmente sucederá. Quero pedir desculpas aos meus fans pola miña actuación a última vez, pero imos conseguir este cadrado de calquera xeito. Imos ver quen é o mellor loitador. Estou moi emocionado Xuño 17. O único que espero é que unha ou dúas semanas antes da loita, Andre Ward non queda ferido e ten bolas suficientes para saír e loitar contra min Xuño 17."

Michael Yormark – Presidente da nación ROC & Xefe de marca e estratexia

“Os legados están construídos en momentos seminais. Cando as luces brillan máis brillantes, Cando o reto parece insuperable, Cando os ollos do mundo están en ti - é cando os grandes atletas ven o máis raro das oportunidades para dar forma ao seu legado, para asegurarse de que o seu nome vive. Dixo Evander Holyfield, "Un campión mostra quen é o que fai cando está probado". Back in November the two best pound-for-pound fighters in the world tested each other like they had never been tested before in their careers. aquela noite, World Champion Andre Ward faced a defining moment and countered with an epic comeback victory over Sergey Kovalev. After that showdown, falouse moito, Moito debate, Moita especulación, Moitas desculpas. But on Xuño 17 we put all of that talk to bed, because Ward-Kovalev 2: “The Rematch” is officially on, and from this day forward there will be no excuses.

 

“Andre Ward is the best boxer in the world – there is simply no debate. He is undefeated, breathlessly talented, and has gladly taken on any fighter with the guts to face him. For Andre, this fight represents the final nail in the coffin for the rest of this division and his would-be competitors, and the latest feat in a career that can only be defined as flawless. For Sergey, he has a lot to prove, which may be why he’s been so, let’s call it active on social media. After falling short in November, Sergey has become his own personal hype machine. In one of his latest tweets he demanded Andre, ‘pray to me’. Sergey, I think what you were trying to say was ‘pray for me’, which we all will do before you get back into the ring with Andre on Xuño 17.

 

“We return to Las Vegas where all big fights belong, live at the Mandalay Bay Events Center and on HBO Pay-Per-View. Roc Nation is proud to be the lead promoter of this global event, presented by Corona Extra and powered by Monster Products. This event would not have been possible without the support of Richard Sturm and Sid Greenfeig of MGM, and HBO’s Peter Nelson and Tony Walker – I’d like to take this opportunity to specifically thank them. MGM and HBO are synonymous with the biggest and best boxing events and Roc Nation is honored to be working in partnership with them for yet another historic fight. I’d also like to thank our chairman JAY Z and President of Roc Nation Sports Juan Perez for their support of this sure to be epic event. Adicionalmente, a big thank you to our presenting partner Corona Extra, as well as Monster Products. I would also like to acknowledge Le Parker Meridien for their support and hosting us here today. Despite what you read in some corners of the boxing world, this rematch was always inevitable, both fighters wanted it, both promoters wanted it and I would be remiss if I did not sincerely thank Main Events and Kathy and Nicole Duva for their professionalism and class in negotiating and finalizing the Xuño 17 loita. Last but certainly not least thank you to Team Ward – Andre, James Prince, Josh Dubin and Virgil Hunter – not only for once again putting your unblemished, championship record on the line under the bright lights of Sin City, but for being incredible partners throughout this process and the best ambassadors the sport of boxing could possibly ask for. Thank you.”

Kathy Duva - CEO de eventos principais

“Grazas, HBO, thank you Le Parker Meridien, Mandalay Bay and of course our sponsors, Corona and Monster. I’ll make it short and sweet. My greatest hope for Xuño 17 is that the winner wins this time. Sergey’s going to do everything in his power to make sure there’s no question on who that is.

 

“I expect he’s going to show us all how to get your titles back. And here he is, future light heavyweight champ of the world, Sergey Kovalev.”

James Prince - Xerente de Andre Ward

“I’d like to thank God for this opportunity, HBO, Peter Nelson. I’d like to thank Roc Nation, who has stood by us 1000%, solid as a Roc. We’re looking forward to this fight coming up, David versus Goliath, part two. Como dixen, the last time, and I reiterate the same thing because not much has changed, we’ve cracked the code. Sergey, your code has been cracked, we know who you are now. Tal Como Xuño 17, you will see one of the greatest fights ever. As I stated earlier in the interview with HBO, don’t be surprised if Kovalev gets knocked out this fight. Don’t you be surprised. Así, we look forward to that moment and I notice that you’ve been real vocal about a lot of things, but you need to know, we don’t have no fear. Así, understand that, unha vez máis, the United States will be victorious against Russia as always.”

Josh Dubin - Xerente de Andre Ward

“This industry, desgraciadamente, has some nasty, ugly people in it that say and do nasty things and show their behind too much. A lot of the things you hear about our beautiful sport is true. I’m so fortunate to have been blessed by kings, that have enriched my life, to be able to grow and get to know these men. James Prince and Andre Ward have been all class and dignity and professional. They don’t need to tell you what you think might sell a fight, or what you think people might want to hear, but just what’s real. What a breath of fresh air. I thank both of you for enriching my life and allowing me to grow on this journey with you.

 

“We’re always hearing about role models, and why aren’t athletes role models – well look no further. You’ve got a family man who is spiritual, you can’t bait him and get him to say what you think he should say or want him to say because you curse him out on social media. We’re not into all that, these are kings over here. You can keep tweeting on your phone over there, but we won already. We won in life, we won in this sport, and we’re just going to continue winning. This is a formality at this point. A formality. Así, you can cry and complain and all that, but that’s what bullies do when they don’t get their way. Bullies make excuses, bullies try to intimidate when they don’t get their way. Bullies of all sorts, in the ring and in business. Ben, you didn’t get your way, you ain’t getting your way and you’re not going to get your way. Period. The reason that probably is, if we bring in spirituality, is the moral arc of the universe does bend towards good and greatness and kings. Así, with that, I say this: you want to tune in to this one, because you’ll want to be able to say, ‘I got to see the best fighter to ever walk in the ring, fight again and conquer again’. Non perda. Thank you.”

Daniel Bagdasarov – Egis Klimas’s Assistant

“I want to thank the media and MGM. He’s happy about the rematch and that it actually happened. We’re excited about it, we’re ready. Thank you to all the promotions that have gone into the fight, thank you HBO for making this happen. Thank you so much.”

Peter Nelson – Executive Vice President, HBO Sports

“I want to thank all the media for being here, this fight came together initially because of what you asked for. En primeiro lugar, I want to thank the fighters, Andre Ward and Sergey Kovalev. The two of them at the zenith of their careers and the apex of their undefeated records deciding to get in the ring against one another, and that’s exactly the expectation that fight fans should have. It’s something to be celebrated and we’re excited we are going to have the rematch on Xuño 17.

 

“Again, these two men decided they want to step up and fight each other, the controversy of time when a lot of fighters walk the other way from one another. Some fights, they’re so good, the fighters earn each other’s respect. Some fights are so great that the fighters earn each other’s disrespect. I’ll let all of you decide which one this is.

 

“I think that what we’ve seen over the past few months is people arguing more and more about who actually won that fight. Novo, the credit is to the fighters because every second of the first fight, they were there to compete. Every second of this rematch, they’re going to be there again. There is too much at stake, in terms of legacy and in terms of pound stature, in terms of this moment and the future. What we know to expect is that on Xuño 17, the stuff of HBO PPV legend gets made. Sergey Kovalev and champion Andre Ward are going to do everything in their power to bring home the belt.”

Coñecido polo seu carácter forte e integridade fóra do arena eo seu instinto de guerreiro dentro del, 33-year-old Andre Ward’s skill and talent were apparent early in his outstanding amateur career. He racked up every title in the books, culminating in a gold medal in the light heavyweight division at the 2004 Xogos Olímpicos de Atenas, Grecia. As the only male American boxer to claim Olympic gold in the past decade, Ward xuntou os gustos de Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard e Oscar De La Hoya. Converteuse en profesional en decembro 18, 2004, scoring a second round technical knockout victory over Chris Molina at Staples Center in a fight that was televised live on HBO. He has gone on to rack up an undefeated record since then, building an ever-growing legion of fans in the process. Despois de facer a revista Ring e WBA Super Middleweight Campión do Mundo, rising to the number two spot on the pound-for-pound list and winning the 2011 Loitador do Ano (ESPN, Sports Illustrated, Ring Magazine e escritores Boxing Association of America), anunciouse que Ward asinou un acordo de exclusividade promocional con Roc Nation Sports en xaneiro 2015, abrindo un novo capítulo na súa carreira de boxeo pisos. Ward returned to the ring on June 20, 2015 no Oracle Arena fronte dos seus fans cidade natal en Oakland, California e marcou un nocaute novena rolda sobre Paul Smith. En marzo 26, 2016, Ward made his highly publicized 175-pound debut against Cuba’s undefeated and IBF number one rated light heavyweight contender Sullivan Barrera and came out victorious. Ward continued his conquest of the light heavyweight division on August 6, 2016, with a unanimous decision over Alexander Brand. Immediately following the win, Ward announced that he will be taking on unified Light Heavyweight Champion Sergey Kovalev in the ultimate showdown for division supremacy and recognition as the best pound-for-pound fighter. In the most anticipated fight of 2016 en Novembro 19 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Ward would prove to the world his dominance as one of boxing’s top pound-for-pound fighters by becoming the unified World Light Heavyweight Champion with a unanimous decision win over Kovalev, the reigning WBA, IBF and WBO titleholder.

 

Sergey "Krusher" Kovalev, the Russian Wrecking Ball, 34, is currently ranked #2 Pound-for-Pound by Ring Magazine and has been dominating boxing’s light heavyweight division with his aggressive, fan-friendly style since his breakout performance against then-unbeaten Nathan Cleverly in 2013 when he won the WBO Light Heavyweight World Title. One year after winning his WBO title Sergey went on to defeat future Hall-of-Famer Bernard “The Alien” Hopkins in a 12-round unanimous decision victory to add the WBA and IBF Light Heavyweight World Titles to his mantle. His rise to boxing stardom has been meteoric, as he has gone from an unknown fighter from Chelyabinsk, Russia to headlining HBO Pay-Per-View in just four years after signing with his first promoter, Principais eventos. Na súa última loita, Kovalev went the distance against former two-time world champion Andre “SOG” Ward. The bout ended in a highly-contested unanimous decision against Sergey even though Kovalev managed to knock down Ward and many thought the cards should have gone in his favor. Out of Kovalev’s 30 vitorias na carreira 26 have come by way of knockout. Adicionalmente, he has entered into championship rounds only three times in his professional career. Kovalev has always sought to test himself against the best boxing has to offer; he wants to prove in the ring that he deserves that mantle.
