Fil-avveniment prinċipali, undefeated middleweight world champions Shields and Hammer will meet to crown the women’s undisputed 160-pound world champion in what is arguably the most significant women’s boxing event in history.

Biljetti għall-avveniment live, li huwa promoss permezz Promozzjonijiet Salita, huma pprezzati għal $150, $100, $55 u $35 u huma fuq bejgħ issa. Tickets can be purchased through Ticketmaster and at boardwalkhall.com.

“The heavyweight division is as talented and exciting as ever,and we are thrilled to add two undefeated warriorsto the April 13 telecast,” said promoter Dmitriy Salita. “We have the best American heavyweight prospect in Jermaine Franklin and one of the best European heavyweight contenders in Otto Wallin. These fights will be tremendous lead-ins to the historic Shields vs. Hammer main event and will create a night to remember for boxing fans worldwide.”

The 25-year-old Franklin (17-0, 13 Kos), minn Saginaw, Mich., is a former amateur standout and a 2014 National Golden Gloves Champion. A likely candidate to represent the U.S. fil- 2016 Logħob Olimpiku, Franklin turned down the opportunity to compete for a spot on the team and instead chose to begin his professional career in 2015. Widely regarded as the top American heavyweight prospect, Franklin has built his undefeated record with relative ease since turning pro, knocking out nine of his first 10 professional opponents. Coming off a lopsided 10-round decision over Craig Lewis in July, Franklin aims to continue moving up the ranks of the resurgent heavyweight division in 2019 and position himself for a title shot.

“I ma jistgħux jistennew – I am ready to show that I am the new man in the heavyweight division,” said Franklin. “Rydell is a good fighter but he is in the way of my goal of winning the heavyweight world title. April 13 will be my coming out party and I am very honored to have this opportunity on SHOWTIME.”

Booker (25-1, 12 Kos), from Detroit, Mich., is a former No.1-ranked U.S. amateur who was once a rising heavyweight prospect with a 22-0 rekord. He suffered his lone defeat to former three-division world champion James Toney, who was coming off wins over Vassiliy Jirov and Evander Holyfield, fil 2004. After serving a 12-year prison sentence, Booker has returned to the ring looking to get his life back on track and live up to his once promising expectations, registering three unanimous decision victories in 2018 under the tutelage of former world champion Jimmy Paul.

“It means a lot to have this opportunity to fight on SHOWTIME,” said the 38-year-old Booker, who sparred with heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua in preparation for his September 2018 bout with Alexander Povetkin. “I’m ready to show my talents on a national stage so everyone will know who Rydell Booker is once again. I think Jermaine Franklin is a pretty good fighter but he has never fought anybody with my experience, knowledge in the ring or my ring savvy. I am going to teach him some new lessons on April 13. I have a bag full of goodies and tricks at my disposal that I will teach this young whipper snapper.”

Wallin (20-0, 13 Kos), li se tkun qed tagħmel U.S tiegħu. debutt, daru pro 2013 and has gradually risen in the rankings by recording 20 rebħiet konsekuttivi. The 28-year-old southpaw, who originally played ice hockey and soccer in his native Sweden before finding the sweet science, won the Swedish Boxing Championship at 16-years-old, fought against Joshua twice as an amateur and was a member of the Swedish National Boxing Team. Currently ranked No. 5 by both the WBA and IBF, Wallin most recently won a 12-round unanimous decision over Adrian Granat in April 2018 and now has his sights set on becoming his country’s first Heavyweight Champion since Ingemar Johansson in 1960.

“I’m very excited about making my U.S. debut on SHOWTIME,” said Wallin, who has spent the last two years conducting training camp in New York with his trainer and former two-division champion Joey Gamache. “To be fighting on such a big card is very inspiring. I’ve been dreaming of this moment since I first started boxing at the age of 15. I will put on a good performance on April 13 and introduce myself to the American fans. I will be one step closer towards my goal of winning the heavyweight world title. Like I’ve said before, I’m a kid from a small town in Sweden and I’m proud of where I’m from and what I’ve achieved so far, but I feel like this is when all the fun starts.”

The 28-year-old Kisner (21-4-1, 6 Kos) has competed at both cruiserweight and heavyweight since turning professional in 2010 after a successful amateur career. Among Kisner’s numerous amateur recognitions, the Baltimore, Md. native was a three-time National Silver Gloves Champion, two-time Junior National Golden Gloves Champion and Ringside World Champion. He holds the distinction of being the youngest boxer in American history ever to win a Men’s National Title in the heavyweight division at 17 snin qodma. As a pro, three of Kisner’s four losses have come against opponents who boasted an undefeated record on fight night. Fl-aħħar bout tiegħu, Kisner defended his WBA U.S. cruiserweight title with a majority decision win over Scott Sigmon.

“I’ve dreamt my whole life of one day fighting on national television and now that the time is here, I’m going to make the most of it,” said Kisner. “Wallin is very good but I’m going to prove I’m one of the best heavyweights on the planet. I have proven my ability to beat the best in the world at both the amateur and professional level and I will do it again on April 13.”

Barry Tompkins will call the SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION action from ringside with boxing historian Steve Farhood and former world champion Raul Marquez serving as expert analysts.

CLARESSA SHIELDS

“This has been long overdue. I’m just glad that Hammer is here and the fight is set. She’s been at my fights before but I can’t wait to get inside the ring and show her I’m the real champion.

“I’ve traveled to many different countries and dethroned champions around the world. Fl-aħħar tal-ġurnata, I’m coming to fight and I recognize that she’s a great champion. To be a champion for all those years shows that she’s a good fighter. But I also look at resumes, and her resume is not as good as mine.

“I’m not someone coming to lay down. I’m not afraid of her. You don’t win belts by talking. You have to fight. I said two years ago I want to fight Christina Hammer in my seventh fight. It would have been if it weren’t for her medical issue. But now we’re here and ready for April 13.

“April 13 you’re going to see someone fold. I wegħda inti, it will not be me. Make sure you all tune-in.

“I think for women’s boxing this is a true super fight that we’ve never gotten before. We’ve never had a fight like this in women’s boxing. It’s great to make this happen and us being from two parts of the world makes this fight even better.

“She’s not the tallest girl I’ve ever fought. I’m stronger than her and I know it. I got up from a knockdown and won. She can’t do that. I don’t believe she knows how to fight on the inside, but she better learn.

“I want to make her quit. I don’t want her to just know I’m a good fighter, I want her to know I’m great. I wish we could go 12 rawnds, but I’ll be prepared for all 10 rounds.”

CHRISTINA HAMMER

“I’m very glad to be here and make this fight happen. I’m looking forward to April 13. I want to show the world who I am.

“This is a big risk to come from Germany to the U.S., but I believe the best should fight the best and I did what I had to so that this could happen. This fight can be a game changer for our sport.

“I will give everything to step out of the ring as a winner. I know Claressa Shields is also a great champion. She’s undefeated like me and that’s why people want to see the fight and that’s why we made it happen.

“I want to thank everyone who made this fight a reality and brought us to this stage. It’s huge for me to be here in New York and I am looking to win on April 13.

“This fight is the real deal. This is going to be a game changer for women’s boxing. I think we’re going to inspire a lot of female athletes who want to live their dream. It’s motivation for everyone.

“I’ve had the title for a long time. I always push myself. This is the fight I wanted to show everyone who is the best. I will be the undisputed champion.

“Shields is beatable. Hanna Gabriels caught her in the first round of their fight and I am taller and stronger than Gabriels. I want to finish the job if I get the chance.

“Anything can happen in boxing. I’m prepared to go the distance. Knockout is the goal but most importantly, I want to win.”

DMITRIY SALITA, President tal-Promozzjonijiet Salita

“I’m honored to bring to the fans the first super fight in women’s boxing history. A lot of questions surround this fight. Will this be a classic like Leonard vs. Hearns, where the gold medalist handles the experienced pro, or like Mosley vs. De La Hoya, where the boxing pro took the gold medalist down. This fight is going to be for all of the belts and this recognizes the true value and impact of this fight.

“Christina Hammer has been a world champion for over nine years and has won titles in two divisions. She’s charismatic and a superstar in Germany and Europe. As a champion that she is, she’s traveling to the other side of the world to prove that she’s the best.

“Claressa made the Olympic team when she was 17 snin qodma, winning our only boxing medal at the 2012 Logħob Olimpiku. She’s the only boxer in U.S. history to win two Olympic gold medals in boxing. She’s had a very impressive pro career, beating world champions and top contenders in all her fights. She’s on her journey to be the best and this fight is a big step toward cementing herself as the GWOAT (greatest woman of all time).

“This is going to be a historic night of boxing. If you watch this fight live and in-person, you will want to hold onto your ticket as a memento.”

MARK TAFFET, Claressa tarki’ maniġer

“The media support for this fight is outstanding. This is a very special time. This fight is one of the most significant fights I’ve worked on in my career, because of the place it will hold in history.

“Two years ago I met Claressa Shields and we discussed her turning pro. We made a list of dreams and I promised Claressa I would do everything in my power to fulfill every one of them. We’ve had a wonderful journey together. One of those dreams was to make this undisputed championship fight happen. We’re going to keep making dreams happen.”

TOM LOEFFLER, Christina Hammer’s Advisor

“Without the fighters wanting this fight, events like this wouldn’t happen. Christina Hammer wants this challenge and she wants to prove she’s the best middleweight champion out there.

“These two fighters can be an example for a lot of male boxers. These are two undefeated fighters in their prime putting it all on the line to show who is the best. You don’t see that very often these days.

“This is going to be a fun promotion. This is a fight that’s a real 50-50 ġlieda. Claressa will be coming forward with her style and tenacity, going up against Christina’s experience. It’s for all the marbles”

STEPHEN Espinoza, President Sports & Programmazzjoni avveniment, Netwerks Showtime Inc.

“Let’s get one thing straight here. This isn’t just an important women’s fight. This isn’t just a high-quality women’s boxing match. This is a high-quality boxing match. This is an important fight. So certainly we have two very skilled women, we’re not going to ignore that fact. But this is one of the best fights that can be made in this sport. Two pound-for-pound boxers, l-aħjar ġlieda kontra l-aħjar. If you are not interested in this fight, then candidly, you are not a boxing fan. This is as good as this sport gets.

“We at SHOWTIME have a long history showcasing the best in women’s boxing and MMA. Names like Laila Ali, Christy Martin, Ronda Rousey, Miesha Tate, Gina Carano, Cris Cyborg.; those are all fighters who made their debuts and that became stars on SHOWTIME. This has been a long-time commitment.

“The first nationally televised women’s MMA event was on SHOWTIME. The first domestic televised MMA women’s main event was on SHOWTIME. The first women’s boxing match that was nationally televised was on SHOWTIME. The first women’s main event boxing bout was also on SHOWTIME, and that obviously was Claressa just a couple of years ago.

“So here on this stage you’ve got two of the most elite athletes in the sport. Not two of the elite women’s fighters in the sport, but two of the elite athletes within this sport. Two-time gold medalist, the only American to do that consecutively, and a two-belt world champion versus a longtime middleweight champion who has dominated this division for nearly a decade.

“This is one of the best fights that can be made in the entire sport. We have two of the elite athletes in boxing and they are deserving of having everything that comes with a marquee event on SHOWTIME, including our Emmy Award-winning All Access series.”

JIM WYNKOOP, General Manager, Boardwalk Hall

“We are so excited to have this great fight coming to Boardwalk Hall. It will be our first championship fight in several years and we can’t wait.

“There is a huge history of boxing at Boardwalk hall in Atlantic City and we look forward to writing another chapter on April 13.”

NEW YORK – February 12, 2019 - Undefeated middleweight world champions Claressa Shields and Christina Hammer will meet on Saturday, April 13 live on SHOWTIME to crown the women’s undisputed 160-pound world champion. The blockbuster unification from Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J. will be the main event of SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION jgħixu 9 p.m. ET/PT and is arguably the most significant women’s boxing event in history.



Shields vs.. Hammer features two of the consensus top-10 pound-for-pound fighters in the world squaring off to crown only the second undisputed champion in female boxing history.The fight, originally scheduled for November 2018, was postponed due to a now-resolved medical issue suffered by Hammer.



The 23-year-old Shields (8-0, 2 Kos) is a two-division champion who holds the IBF, WBA and WBC 160-pound titles. The 28-year-old Hammer (24-0, 11 Kos) owns the WBO belt, is the WBC Champion in Recess, and has dominated the women’s middleweight division for more than eight years. Shields and Hammer fought on the same card last June on SHOWTIME, with both fighters winning impressively to set up the first undisputed showdown in the women’s 160-pound division.



The winner of Shields vs. Hammer will join Terrence Crawford, Jermain Taylor, Bernard Hopkins, Oleksandr Usyk and women’s welterweight Cecilia Braekhus as the only fighters to have unified all four major world titles in any weight class.



Shields vs.. Hammer is promoted by Salita Promotions. Ticket prices and on-sale date will be announced next week by Boardwalk Hall.



“I always seek the biggest challenges and set the highest goals. I will be ready like never before and will defeat Christina Hammer on April 13,” said Shields. “Nothing will stop me from becoming undisputed champion and continuing my journey to carry women’s boxing to never-before-seen heights. I want to be the greatest of all time and change the game forever for all women in sports, and April 13 is an important step on that road to history.”



“I have waited a long time for this moment,” said Hammer. “I am bigger, stronger and more experienced than Claressa Shields. I am undefeated and have been a champion for over eight years. I can’t wait to show the world that I am the best and undisputed middleweight champion of the world.”



“SHOWTIME Sports has a long history of featuring the best in women’s combat sports, whether it was with Laila Ali and Christy Martin in boxing, or Gina Carano, Cris Cyborg and Ronda Rousey in MMA,” said Gordon Hall, Produttur Eżekuttiv tal SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION. “More recently, peress 2016 we have featured today’s elite with Claressa Shields, Christina Hammer, Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano appearing in an industry-leading 10 presentations of women’s boxing.

April 13 is destined to be an electric and historic night of boxing live on SHOWTIME.”



“Shields vs. Hammer is the biggest and most important fight in women’s boxing history – two undefeated unified champions in their prime battling for the undisputed middleweight championship of the world,” said Shields’ manager Mark Taffet. “Christina Hammer is indeed a very good fighter and champion, but Claressa Shields is once-in-a-lifetime. The same intense focus and determination that got Claressa through life, earned her two Olympic gold medals, and won her five world titles in eight pro fights will carry her to victory on April 13.”



“We are very excited to bring world-class championship boxing back to Atlantic City’s Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall,” said Matt Doherty, Executive Director of the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority. “This reinforces the CRDA’s commitment to attract world-class sporting events and increase visitors to our destination.”



Shields was the first American boxer in history – male or female – to win consecutive Olympic gold medals. Il Flint, Mich., native turned professional following the 2016 Olympics and became unified women’s super middleweight world champion in just her fourth professional fight. Shields moved down to middleweight for her June 22 headliner on SHOWTIME, defeating Hanna Gabriels to win the IBF and WBA titles and become a two-division champion in just her sixth professional contest. After Hammer was named WBC Champion in Recess due to her medical issue, Shields picked up the vacant WBC title last November with a unanimous decision over Hannah Rankin. She most recently defended all three titles in December against Femke Hermans.



Martell, of Dortmund, Il-Ġermanja, has been the dominant force in the women’s middleweight division since winning the WBO title in 2010. Hammer became unified champion in 2016 with a unanimous decision over WBC titlist Kali Reis and made four defenses as unified champion. In her eight years as champion, Hammer has lost just a handful of rounds across 16 tissielet titolu dinja. Martell, who also models professionally and was recently featured at Fashion Week in New York City, made her U.S. debut on June 22 after campaigning mostly in Germany since turning professional in 2009. After being forced to withdraw from the November unification due to the health issue, Hammer won a non-title fight via second round knockout last Saturday, Frar 9 fil-Ġermanja.



The undercard for the SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION telecast will be announced in the coming weeks.

Isiah Seldon ready for undefeated middleweight Tyler Howard on November 16th in Oklahoma City

Ħalli kumment

Belt Atlantiku, NJ (Novembru 1, 2018) – Middleweight Isiah Seldon is getting ready for his biggest fight of his career when he takes on undefeated Tyler Howard in a bout scheduled for eight-round on November 16th at The Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City.

 

 

 

Il bout, which is promoted by Top Rank, will be streamed live on ESPN+.

 

 

 

The main event will see WBO Junior Welterweight champion Maurice Hooker defending against Alex Saucedo.

 

 

 

Seldon (12-1-1, 4 Kos) has been training in Atlantic City under the watchful eye of Bill Johnson.

 

 

 

“I am looking forward to this great opportunity,” said Seldon. “I have been longing for an opportunity to take on a fighter such as Howard as a win will take my career to the next level.”

 

 

 

Team Seldon, has been working diligently with longtime manager Jim Kurtz very excited about the opportunity that Seldon has in front of him.

 

 

 

“It doesn’t get any bigger than fighting on a Top Rank show with an explosive main event between Hooker and Saucedo. The staff at Top Rank has been top notch. I am really excited for Isiah to get this opportunity to display his talents on a big stage. Myself and co-manager Joe Thompson are convinced Isiah is ready to shine on November 16th and it can’t get here fast enough,” said Kurtz, who has managed Seldon from day one.

 

 

 

Kurtz also managed Seldon’s father, WBA Heavyweight champion, Bruce Seldon.

 

 

 

“Isiah has reunited with his original trainer Bill Johnson and they haven’t skipped a beat. This is the first time Isiah has had a full fledged training camp. We haven’t left any stone unturned in preparation for this fight. Isiah’s conditioning is at a point that I have never seen with him before. He is getting great sparring and his improvement working with Bill in preparation for this fight has been incredible. He is ready to show the world a new and improved Isiah Seldon. He has a large legacy to follow being the son of former WBA Heavyweight Champion Bruce Seldon but Isiah is determined to make his own mark on the sport of boxing.”

 

 

 

“He has always had power in both hands, scoring knockdown in almost every fight, but now he is learning to remain calm and finish guys instead of getting overly excited and letting them off the hook. He is punching harder than ever before, putting his punches together and his boxing ability has reached a level where he can control the pace of the fight. We have taken it slow with Isiah considering he didn’t have any amateur fights but we are now at the point where he is ready to make his mark on the Middleweight division.”

 

 

 

“We know Tyler Howard is a good undefeated fighter. He had a good amateur career, comes from a family with a boxing background, and has a solid management team who have done a great job with him. On November 16th we expect a tough fight with some fireworks but we are confident Isiah will emerge victorious and this will lead us to bigger and better opportunities.”

Il-folja sħiħa tal-bout hija disponibbli HAWN. Hawn x’kellhom xi jgħidu l-ġellieda preżenti u l-eżekuttivi tal-kampjonat nhar il-Ħamis:

DAN MILLER, Head Coach tat-tim ta’ New Jersey

“Ifisser ħafna li tkun kowċ għal Team New Jersey. Huwa l-istat tad-dar tiegħi u huwa avveniment kbir għalih. Inħobb il-kunċett tat-tim u kburi li qiegħed f'din il-pożizzjoni.

“Qegħdin hawn nirrappreżentaw l-istat kollu. Kellna t-tim jitħarreġ flimkien u nibnu kamaraderija. Qisu stil ta’ logħba ta’ lotta fejn kull tim qed jibgħat lin-nies.

“Kulħadd jidher tajjeb u b'saħħtu fil-kamp ta' taħriġ. Naħseb li lesti li mmorru. Dawn il-ġlied kollha se jkunu meraviljużi. Dawn huma mqabbla tajjeb ħafna u għandu jkun lejl divertenti. It-tim Pennsylvania aħjar tkun lest, ghax il-guys taghna huma.”

DANIEL GRACIE, Head Coach tat-Tim Pennsylvania

“Kollox fit-taħriġ kien perfett. Jien ilni naħdem ma 'ħafna minn dawn in-nies għal żmien twil diġà għalhekk bqajna biss dak li ilna naħdmu fuqu. Bil-kunċett tat-tim għandna ħafna aktar nies fuq xiex niffukaw minflok wieħed jew tnejn biss. Diġà kellna kimika tajba għalkemm, allura kollox mexa bla xkiel.

“In-nies tad-dilettanti tagħna li jduru pro se juru li jappartjenu għal dawn il-ġlied. Wasal iż-żmien li taqbad il-attenzjoni. L-ewwel ġlieda tiegħek hija l-aħjar opportunità biex tagħmel impressjoni.

“Naħseb li l-MMA għandha bżonn xi ħaġa ġdida li tista' tiġbed l-attenzjoni tan-nies. Dan huwa ċans kbir biex iġibu l-partitarji li ma jagħtux kas lill-MMA u jagħtuhom iċ-ċans li jidħlu wara t-timijiet lokali tagħhom.”

HANI DARWISH, CEO tal-MMA Pro League

“Il-partitarji għandhom jistennew xi ħaġa kompletament differenti minn dik li huma mdorrijin. L-MMA dejjem kienet sport tat-tim u ninsab kuntenta li se nkunu aħna li nesponu dan lid-dinja. Dawn il-ġuvini dejjem tħarrġu ma’ tim, għax ma tistax tħarreġ waħdek.

“Aħna nemmnu li din se tkun l-era l-ġdida tal-MMA. Se nagħtu lill-bliet u lill-istati madwar id-dinja ċ-ċans li verament joqgħodu wara t-timijiet tagħhom stess.

“Kien hemm ħafna xogħol iebes u ppjanar strateġiku li wassal għal dan u fl-aħħar qed iseħħ. Hija viżjoni li implimentajna u ladarba ksibna n-nies it-tajba konna nafu li kienet tema li emminna fiha tant li ddeċidejna li nwettqu.”

MARK TAFFET, President tal-MMA Pro League

“Se noħolqu wirt f’dan l-isport li se jdum għall-ġenerazzjonijiet li ġejjin. Kelli l-privileġġ li nniedi HBO PPV 30 snin ilu u rajt li ssir ħafna storja. Issa għandi ċ-ċans nerġa’ nagħmel, flimkien ma’ sieħbi Hani Darwish.

“L-ewwel ġlieda tiegħi f'HBO PPV kienet proprju hawn f'Atlantic City għal Evander Holyfield vs. George Foreman. Huwa sinifikanti ħafna għalija li nkun lura hawn f'Atlantic City fil-Hard Rock Hotel ġdida fjamanta & Casino biex ikollok iċ-ċans li toħloq kapitlu ieħor ta 'mumenti kbar.

“Waħda mill-aktar affarijiet importanti għall-MMA Pro League hija li jkun hemm il-kowċis it-tajbin li jmexxu t-timijiet. Dan Miller u Daniel Gracie huma t-tnejn mexxejja naturali, mentors, ex ġellieda kbar u għalliema kbar. Huma jirrappreżentaw dak kollu li rridu nirrappreżentaw mal-MMA Pro League.”

MARK KOLKER (NJ) vs. ZULKARNAIYN KAMCHYBEKOV (PA) – Middleweights

Kolker: “Dan huwa tassew eċċitanti u jien grata ħafna għall-opportunità. Qed nagħmlu xi ħaġa differenti minn dik li qed tagħmel ħaddieħor u naħseb li tista’ tkun xi ħaġa speċjali.

“Naf li għandi avversarju li jista’ jiġġieled u li mhux megħlub bħala dilettanti. Inħoss li għandi l-għodda biex negħlbuh. Kapaċi naqbad, slip u poġġih bogħod ma 'xi ħaġa kmieni. Jew jekk irid imur id-distanza nistgħu nagħmlu hekk ukoll. Nbassar li noqgħod lilu.”

Kamchybekov: “Din hija l-ewwel ġlieda pro tiegħi u ninsab kuntent ħafna li għandi l-opportunità. Ma nafx wisq dwar l-avversarju tiegħi imma se nkun ippreparat. Ħdimt ħafna u ser nuri l-lotta u l-istrajk tiegħi biex nikseb din ir-rebħa.”

GABRIEL RUIZ (NJ) vs. CODY HAWN (PA) – Piż tar-rix

Ruiz: “Iħossu tajjeb li terġa 'lura fil-gaġġa u tħoss l-adrenalina. Qed nittama li nagħti ġlieda kbira lil kulħadd.

“Naf li l-avversarju tiegħi huwa wrestler għalhekk se jipprova jeħodni. Mhux se jrid iqum miegħi, imma jien ippreparat għal ħafna lotta. Qed nipprova nħabbtuh u mmur niekol burger.”

Hawn: “Hija aqwa li tkun parti minn din l-impriża tal-MMA Pro League. Hija opportunità tant kbira u ninsab ferħan li nkun fil-pjan terran.

“L-avversarju tiegħi ħa ftit ħin ta’ mistrieħ imma naf li se jkun lest biex jiġġieled. Mhux qed norqod fuqu. Din se tkun ġlieda ta' azzjoni.”

CLAUDIO LEDESMA (NJ) vs. ANDRE BERNARDO (PA) – Bantamweights

Ledesma: “Huwa tal-biża 'li tkun tista' tirrappreżenta New Jersey. Jien kuntent li għandi din l-opportunità. Din kienet esperjenza kbira s'issa.

“Ma nafx wisq dwar l-avversarju tiegħi. Inħobb niffoka fuq dak li nagħmel u nagħmel aġġustamenti meta jkolli.”

Bernardo: “Kienet triq diffiċli biex nasal fejn jien illum u jien grat li qed niġġieled għall-MMA Pro League.

“Qed niffaċċja ġellied b'esperjenza kbira. Huwa għandu ċinturin iswed fil-jiu-jitsu u huwa ġellied fit-tond. Huwa xorta se jkollu jidħol
hemm u tiġġieledni. Naf li se mmorru l-art eventwalment u nippjana li noħonqu.”

MIKE PAGANO (NJ) vs. ZEDEKIAH MONTANEZ (PA) – Welterweights

Pagano: “Jien kburi li nkun parti minn dan l-ewwel spettaklu tal-MMA Pro League. Ninsab eċċitati li nirrappreżenta l-istat tiegħi fil-gaġġa.

“L-avversarju tiegħi jidher kompost tajjeb ħafna. Huwa jħobb joqgħod lura u jikkaxxa qabel ifittex li jitfa. Kulħadd għandu pjan sakemm tingħata daqqa ta’ ponn f’wiċċ, allura jien se mmur hemmhekk u niġġieled biss.”

Montanez: “Tħossha tassew tajba li tkun f'din il-pożizzjoni. Il-ġlied professjonalment kien ħolma tiegħi u issa qiegħed hawn. Ħdimt ħafna biex nasal għal dan il-mument u ninsab tassew eċċitati.

“Naf li qed niffaċċja wrestler li jħobb jagħmel pressjoni fuqu u jersaq dritt 'il quddiem. Aħna ppreparati għal kull ħaġa li jitfa lejja u jien naddatta ruħi għal kull ħaġa li jitfa lejja. Se tkun gwerra imma għandi biss immur hemmhekk u nkun l-aħjar li nista 'nkun.”

JUSTIN OSBORN (NJ) vs. ANDY JIMENEZ (PA) – Welterweights

Osborn: “Ninsab eċċitati li mmur hemmhekk u nagħmel dak li nħobb nagħmel. Ma nistax nistenna li nidħol f'dik il-gaġġa u nħares lejn raġel li lest li jneħħili rasi.

“Naf li qed niffaċċja dilettant bla telfa li jagħmel id-debutt tiegħu pro u għalhekk lest għal kollox. Jien lest għad-disa' tarzni kollha. Qed inbassar finitura.”

JOSEPH PINAFIEL (PA) vs. TURPAL KHAMZAYEV (NJ) – Bantamweights

Pinafiel: “Ifisser kollox għalija li jkolli din il-pjattaforma. Din hija opportunità biex nibni fuq il-karriera tiegħi. Kelli trattament aqwa hawn. Immur għal kollox is-Sibt.

“Qed niffaċċja raġel iebes fil-bitħa tiegħu stess. Imma jien hawn biex nagħmel dikjarazzjoni. Irrid noħroġ u nagħti ġlieda tajba lil kulħadd. Qed nittama li jġib l-aħjar minni. I am ser jirbaħ. Jien lest biex inlestih b'kull mod possibbli.”

“Samir jidher tassew iebes u naf li għandu ħafna esperjenza. Kulħadd huwa perikoluż f'dan il-livell u jieħu biss punch biex tmur torqod. Jien se mmur għall-finitura sa mill-bidu.”
