SETTLEMENET REACHED BETWEEN LUCIAN BUTE & DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA ATHLETIC COMMISSION

Leave a comment
MONT-REAL (Novembre 26, 2016) – A settlement has been reached between Lucian Bute and the District of Columbia Athletic Commission, several months after an initial anti-doping test result was announcement regarding traces of Ostarin found in Bute’s urine samples this past May.
Following the World Boxing Council (CMB) super middleweight world title bout between defending champion Badou Jack and challenger Bute, que va acabar amb empat, a positive test result was announced to the general surprise of Bute.
Des de llavors, però, in-depth analyses has demonstrated beyond all doubt that this result was due to contamination of nutritional supplements, prescribed by Bute’s conditioning trainer and created by a laboratory in California.
All this information has been favorably received by the authorities of the Athletic Commission of the District of Columbia.
As a result of communications between the parties involved, an agreement was reached:
Lucian Bute voluntarily agrees to contribute $50,000 (USD), within a period not exceeding 90 dia, to the WBC Clean Boxing Program (CBP).

Lucian Bute also agrees that his boxer license from the Athletic Commission of the District of Columbia be suspended for a period of six months, dating back to May 6, 2016.
The athletic commission therefore agrees to reject the disputed case immediately with the compromise reached between the parties and does not in any way consider that this compromise constitutes an admission on the part of Lucian Bute of the alleged facts or circumstances.
Lucian Bute intends to pay his voluntary contribution to the WBC CBP without delay and as the six-month suspension period of his boxing license from the District of Columbia ended November 6, he may now box at the place and time of his choice right now. The case is now permanently closed.
“I am extremely happy that everything is now over,” former IBF world champion Bute said. “I would like to thank my family and my spouse, Helena, all members of my team, Christian Ganescu, the Grant brothers, Groupe Yvon Michel, el meu manager, Al Haymon, my lawyer, Howard Jacob, and my friends, fans and supporters who were many to support me and to encourage and trust me during these dark and painful hours of my life. I would also like to thank the members of the Athletic Committee of the District of Columbia and its Chairman, Sr. Adam Weers, for listening and understanding, as well as WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman for giving me the benefit of the doubt and keeping me in the rankings of the best super middleweight challengers,”
In spite of this difficult period, Bute has continued training and he is more determined than ever to take the road back to regaining his world title. Bute is ready to face anyone who will stand between him and his goals.
“I am surrounded by the best team to guide me, ” Bute concluded. “jo tinc, més que mai, the enthusiasm and will to fight. I have a lot of years ahead of me and I cannot wait to get back into the ring in early 2017.”

Richard Schaefer
Moltes gràcies, and thank you to all the media for being on today’s call. It was an interesting weekend, but boxing goes on and boxing goes on in a big way here on Dissabte, Desembre 10 as a SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING doubleheader with two toe-to-toe fights that will electrify the sport, and I’m really excited to be able to host and promote this card here from Galen Center in Los Angeles.
The fight we are discussing today is for sure going to be one of those potential Fight of the Year candidates, and I know these days those words are being used quite a bit, but I really feel these fighters are right for each other. This is a fight in one of the most stacked divisions in boxing. Before I introduce the two fighters, just some other things, the card will take place from the Galen Center at the USC Campus in Los Angeles.
The Galen Center is a first-class arena. It’s actually the newest indoor arena in and around Los Angeles. La cobertura televisada començarà a les 10 p.m. I/7 p.m. PT for those people who can’t make it to the Galen Center. The co-main event is really a main event in its own. It’s one of the most anticipated and asked for fights in another great weight class, the junior middleweight division where you have arguably two of the best, if not the two best fighters in that division against each other: Jermall Charlo defending his title against top-rated challenger Julian Williams.
This is a fight Julian Williams has been waiting for, Durant molt de temps, and it’s a battle of unbeaten up and coming stars in their prime. There’s going to be a terrific, non-televised card as part of this event, també. Així, those people that are going to be able to make it out to the Galen Center, they’re going to really be in for a treat. I’m going to tell you about some of those fights, which my co-promotor, Tom Brown from TGB, has put together and I want to thank Tom for a job very well done. These are greatly matched fights, and I’m excited and looking forward to seeing them.
Included on the undercard is junior welterweight title eliminator featuring unbeaten Sergey Lipinets, amb un registre de 10-0, amb 8 KOs, taking on Australia’s Lenny Zappavigna with a record of 35-2 amb 25 KOs. Great match ups. They will also see a pair of undefeated prospects who are looking to cement their status as championship contenders. In the super welterweight division Erickson Lubin, que és 16-0, amb 11 KOs of Orlando, Fla., and junior lightweight Mario Barrios, amb un registre de 16-0, amb 8 KOs out of San Antonio.
The card will also include an array of local talent from Los Angeles or the greater Los Angeles area, including Oxnard’s Hugo Centeno, Jr. amb un registre de 24-1 amb 12 KOs, former title challenger Josesito Lopez with a 33-7 registre, amb 19 KOs and personally one of my favorites. He’s always there to give a fight, just an amazing warrior and I’m happy to see Josesito Lopez on this card. Then we also are going to see Abner Mares’ Germà petit, Adan Mares, who has a record of 14-3. I’m looking forward to having him there as well. It really is a can’t-miss night, and for those people here in Southern California, please come and see this card. It’s going to be great fighters, great matchups.
The doors are open at 3:30 pm, and the fights begins shortly thereafter. Tickets for the live event are on sale now, and they start at $35, si 35, what a steal. Students get a special $10 apagat. There’s a $25 student ticket available as well, i estan disponibles a www.galentix.com.
Ara, the man who made is all happen and is not only a very close friend of mine but really a man with a passion for the sport of boxing, the Executive VP and General Manager, SHOWTIME Sports, Stephen Espinoza.
Stephen Espinoza
This fight is one of the fights I’ve been most excited about on this year’s schedule. As many of you remember, this was a fight that was originally set for June and had to be rescheduled. It was such a strong fight that we didn’t want to lose that, and I know that required some sacrifice from both fighters, and we’re deeply appreciative for that. That they’re willing to wait shows what kind of guys both these guys are, as they’re looking for a challenge and neither one wanted to walk away from what, as Richard mentioned, could be one of the best fights of the year.
This is the fifth featherweight fight that SHOWTIME will be televising this year. It is one of the most talent, deep divisions, and we’re thrilled to have such a wealth of talent and thrilled to be focusing on it this year. It is a 50-50 fight between two fighters that are, in the consensus top six of the division supported by an incredibly strong undercard, and we are very happy and very proud to be ending the year on such a strong note. We look forward to Desembre 10, and I’ll turn it over back to Richard.
R. Schaefer
Dret, thank you very much Stephen. Ara, it is a privilege for me to introduce to you Abner Mares. Abner Mars, as you all know is certainly one of the greatest fighters at this time to come out of Mexico. He was born in Guadalajara, Mèxic. Ell era un 2004 Mexican Olympian and that is how long I’ve known him and how long I’ve been involved with his fights. He lives now and fights out of Downey, California and trains with one of the best trainers in his corner, Robert García. If you look at his resume, it is as impressive as it comes. He is a former world champion at 118, 122 i 126 lliura, has really fought everybody and from Ponce de Leon, from Oquendo, from Moreno, from Darchinyan and the list goes on and on.
He will be fighting in California for the 10th time in his career, including his last bout which was a terrific Fight of the Year candidate against Leo Santa Cruz. Abner Mares is the kind of fighter, who in all the fights, has never been in a boring fight because he knows how to entertain. He wants to give it his best, and he has the will to win. Here he goes, at this point in his career, for yet another world title and it is a pleasure now to turn it over to Abner who can talk a little bit about training camp, what this fight means to him and maybe give us some Thanksgiving thoughts as well. Abner.
Abner Mars
Sense Dubte, Richard. How you doing? I want to start out by thanking God. All you guys for making this possible, Richard, Stephen Espinoza and obviously, the great boxing fans out there who are always supporting and even the ones who are not there to support, they just give you a bad time, but you know at the end of the day, they support the sport in a way.
Així, I’m really honored and privileged to be fighting Desembre 10 in my hometown in LA. It’s going to be a great fight against a great fighter, Jesús Cuellar, a puncher, a guy who has a lot of strength, a guy that has lots to prove. Like Richard has mentioned, I’m just really looking forward to this fight. As you guys know, I’ve never been in a boring fight. I always entertain. I find a way to give you guys explosive fights and this will be just that. It will be an exciting fight, like Richard mentioned, this is perfect for an entertaining fight and I’m going to give you just that.
An early Christmas present to everyone, hopefully a late birthday present for me, since it’s going to be a week after my birthday. It’s going to be great. You can’t miss it, like Richard mentioned; in this stage of my career, I think this is my second wind. I’m looking forward to showing you guys a different Abner and what you guys don’t know already. This is going to be a year since I started training with well-known coach Robert Garcia, a whole year we had to train and get to know each other, so you will see the difference. So with that said, I think this is a fight you can’t miss on SHOWTIME. You can’t miss live at the USC Galen Center.
This is a Fight of the Year to close the end of the year and I’m looking forward to that — not so much looking forward to Thanksgiving like Richard said because we will still be on a diet, we won’t be able to eat as much, but obviously spending time with the family being thankful for everything that God has given us. It’s been a blessing. Thank you all for tuning in and thank you all again. No puc esperar que 10 de desembre to make history once again and become a four-time world champion.
Q
Abner, you mentioned the year with Robert Garcia. How has it transformed you? How has it changed you from who you were?
La. Mares
I know once you get a new coach they tend to get a fight right away, and they tend to fight the next six to eight weeks, and you don’t see much of a difference. Per què? Because you only have that small period of time to train and get to know each other, and I just mentioned a whole year with Robert and not only a whole year with Robert, a whole year of getting ready for this fight against a southpaw and you guys know what type of coach Robert is. Not only does he bring education to your boxing skills but also that motivation, it’s always good to have that motivation knowing that you have one of the best in your corner. Així, you will see a different Abner and I think the best way to answer your question is you will just see a more mature fighter in me.
Q
A lot of people who are looking at this fight are saying that dealing with Cuellar’s strength and power is going to be the most difficult thing for you. How do you get through that and what are your own thoughts?
La. Mares
Once you get hit hard or anything that you can’t think of happens in the ring, I don’t think it’s based on your experiences, it’s more based on your willingness, your heart and the desire to continue. I think that comes from deep inside, and I think I have that. I think I’ve showed it in many fights. I’ve had difficult times in different fights, so I think it just comes from inside. You can’t teach that, but again, si, experience has helped a lot to get you out of certain things but, de nou, I think this is going to be one of the smartest fights we’re going to be able to fight.
Q
How disappointed were you and how surprised were you that you would were not allowed to fight that particular bout in Brooklyn because of the location of the match?
La. Mares
Bé, it was difficult. It’s not the first time something like this has happened to me — not in the sense of me being injured or anything but a fight being cancelled. I’ve had fights being cancelled or postponed, years back so it’s nothing different. But I am a human being, I have feelings, òbviament, and I just felt sad at the moment because I love to fight.
Sí, Em va decebre, not so much in myself, just the situation, però, de nou, I have to take people back. I’ve got them pretty much fighting this whole year. I was supposed to fight in March, that got postponed because of an injury and then it got postponed for June and then that June fight got postponed so here we are 10 de desembre, and again it’s just a way of seeing that mental strength and that circle you have around you. You know my family kept me strong and those long talks with my advisor kept me going and again here we are and still healthy and we will continue to give you guys good fights.
Q
Abner, could you at all just explain the situation with the eye. For whatever reason, they have different rules in New York, but can you explain what that situation is with that eye and which eye is it?
La. Mares
It’s like you said, different rules for different states. We know they’re stricter on that side. I think that tells you they’re stricter and then, òbviament, the issues they’re having at the moment and it’s nothing bad. It’s something that happened in 2008. I have been fighting since. I’ve been cleared in every state I’ve fought in, other than New York. I fight in California, I fight in Texas, I fight in Vegas. I fight in Philly, massa. I think there was a red flag for them because, òbviament, I had surgery done again in 2008 and they just didn’t want to take the risk, but again I think, like Richard, myself and my doctor said, som bons per anar. We have been. I have the same risk. I don’t have it higher or less than any fighter out there. My surgery is done. I’m good and like any other fighter I have the same risk of getting one open in the ring, so there’s no risk higher of me getting one.
Q
Abner, which eye was it you had the surgery on back in ’08?
La. Mares
It was in my left eye.
Q
Abner, do you have any concern whatsoever about rust?
La. Mares
Per res, you have to see it and look at it on the positive side. Òbviament, I haven’t been in the spotlight, no cameras around me, no lights, but I’ve been active. Des de març, I’ve been getting ready for the fight. Every single fight has been postponed the week of the fight, so I’ve practically done training camps for two fights. Així, that does not worry me, but if it happens you will feel it in the ring, and it’s just a matter of adjusting to it. It wears off within one or two rounds and just getting the rhythm of the fight going. I think we’re safe and we’ll be good.
Q
Richard, when you started to go and work on this fight did you have any issues with Abner’s medical situation or were you were sort of like surprised it was postponed and then, when he went through the testing you were very satisfied that everything was okay? What was your take on the postponement because of New York?
R. Schaefer
Crec, abans de res, New York has other issues related to boxing to well. With the insurance requirement they had a very difficult year, Nova York, as it situates to what happened with all the ins and outs of the commission and I think anybody in boxing or anybody would agree it’s a bit of a mess out there. Then you look at California. I think California is one of the best run if, francament, not the best-run commissions and so of course when the fight was postponed or cancelled or whatever in New York, I not only talked to Abner and his wife. They were both in my office and I talked to them, but I asked Abner for permission to actually talk directly with his attorney and with his doctor, who is one of the most recognized surgeons and specialists as it relates to eyes and eye injuries in the world.
When I talked to the doctor I asked him straight out, is Abner okay? He said yes. I asked him is Abner at a higher risk than any fighter who enters the ring and he said absolutely not and that gave me the confidence to go forward and promote this fight. I had the same conversations with the California Commission and their medical board was satisfied with their requirements to make sure Abner was okay because of course if it’s the commission or anyone involved in this fight, first and foremost is fighter safety and Al Haymon, Abner’s advisor, asked me numerous times, I mean numerous times, and he said look if we’re going to do this fight, make sure Abner is okay and make sure he is absolutely okay, and I feel confident that I did that and so we’re ready to go.
R. Schaefer
Bé, gran. We’re going to have Jesus make some comment and then opening up for both fighters to answer any questions.
It’s a pleasure for me to introduce to you the current WBA Featherweight World Champion with a record of 28-1 amb 21 nocauts. He’s one of those other tough, hard hitting, fighters coming out of Argentina, in this case Buenos Aries and he’s in his first fight under legendary coach Freddie Roach, so you’re going to have an interesting matchup there also with Robert Garcia’s trained fighter, Abner Mars, against a Freddie Roach trained fighter Jesus Cuellar and you know those two guys, Roach and Garcia are very competitive, and so I think that adds some extra spice to the matchup. Cuellar won his world title in 2013 and has gone to defend it five times since then, including victories over Rico Ramos, Vic Darchinyan and Juan Manuel Lopez. It is a pleasure now to introduce Jesus Cuellar.
Jesús Cuellar
Em sento molt bé. We’ve had a great training camp with Freddie and my entire team. I have been concentrating on this matchup and looking forward to the fight with Abner.
R. Schaefer
Bé, very good so let’s open it back up to questions now from the media. Any more questions for Abner or Jesus Cuellar please.
Q
What did that fight against Santa Cruz tell you about what you have left to offer in boxing?
La. Mares
I think that part itself tells you what I have left. Li vaig donar tot de mi. I think it was a close fight and it lets you know I have a lot left. I gave a hell of a fight and it’s just different styles. It didn’t really tell me anything other than that I’m ready for anything. It was a great fight against a great fighter and that’s it.
Q
Abner, without giving away any strategy or anything, what do think are some of the biggest improvements you’ve made working with Robert Garcia?
La. Mares
Guau. Així, many but I think that number one is definitely on my basic punches, the one, 2, hook, three-punch combination. I think we perfected those plus sitting down more, turning more on my punches. It’s crazy how you might think you’re throwing your punches good, and you’re not this whole time. Així, I think I’ve learned how to turn more on my punches, how to sit better on my punches and I think my power is coming out really good. My sparring partner has helped me and I think you will see improvement in my power and my defense.
Q
I know he probably doesn’t speak to you about this much, but can you tell me what it would mean for you, because as Richard mentioned before, there’s an obvious rivalry between Robert and Freddie. What would it mean for you to win one for him?
La. Mares
Sí, like you said we don’t talk about that. It has nothing to do with Freddie Roach. I think it’s a fight between a fighter and myself and just winning the fight for us as a team will mean the world to us. We have no desire on throwing this in anyone’s face. It’s just a win, and there’s no rivalry.
Q
Abner, when you think back about your journey and the opportunities you’ve had in boxing, what are you most grateful for? What are some of the things you’re most grateful for this month, in advance of Thanksgiving?
La. Mares
Primer, all of the great people I have around me. My circle, els meus amics, the opportunities I’ve had, and just the opportunity to be fighting for another world title before the end of the year is something I’m really grateful and then I thank, òbviament, the great team, TEMPS DE LA FUNCIÓ, my advisor and then everyone for this opportunity. I’m really looking forward to making myself and my family proud for everything overall. Com tu has dit, I came from nothing to something and there is something I’m trying to do in this sport and that’s to just try and be an example for my kids and for the young kids growing up that anything is possible.
Q
Jesús, how long have you been with Freddie Roach so far in camp and how has that made a difference in your style and your confidence going into this fight?
J. Cuellar
I’ve definitely learned a lot. I feel extremely improved. We have a lot of confidence heading into this fight. I want to thank God for the all the blessings I’ve had. It’s been nice to go back to Argentina, but this was a great opportunity to come up with Freddie and get ready for 10 de desembre.
Q
Do you think that your power and your size advantage make you different from southpaws Abner has faced in any way? What do feel separates you from those southpaws and or anyone else that Abner has faced?
J. Cuellar
I know that I have the size advantage and I’m the bigger fighter but I certainly cannot rely on that. I realize this is going to be a difficult matchup, and I have to bring my best because Abner is a heck of a talent.
Q
What are you thankful for in advance of Thanksgiving?
J. Cuellar
Estic relaxat, I’m calm and I’m thankful that I’m going to spend the time with my family and friends.
Q
Aquest passat Dissabte we saw a very controversial decision with Ward and Kovalev. Abner, I’ll begin with you, when you see a very controversial decision like that, com boxejador, does it bother you the fact that we’re still seeing controversy when it comes to the judges and does that motivate you at all to try to go for the knockout, not to leave it in the judges hands?
La. Mares
Ho sento, I’m not going to lie. I did not watch the fight. I wasn’t able to see the fight, because I had a turkey drive the following day diumenge, so I was getting ready for that, but obviously I saw the tweets, I saw everything. I heard about it, and I heard it was a really controversial decision, but I think there’s no judges like the people. I think those are the ones that you have to prove something to, not so much the actual judges in the ring.
Encara, I think it’s divided. Crec 50 percent think Kovalec won and another 50 percent think Ward won. Coming from the ground and getting back up and just winning the fight speaks a lot for him. Així, again I did not watch the fight. I can’t go into detail, and for myself you just take that and put it on my fight. I don’t have to do anything to impress the judges. I think just my boxing itself. I think we have professionals up there, and they’re going to do their jobs, so I don’t even have to think about that or put that in my head that I have to do something different just to impress the judges. No, I’m going to go in there and just do my job.
Q
You mentioned before, after your last fight was cancelled, that you spoke with Al Haymon and he gave you some advice and counsel to lift your spirits. What advice did he give you after your last fight was cancelled?
La. Mares
Just having him as a friend, as an advisor, just being positive, him saying Abner ‘we’re in this together.’ Just hearing those words, ‘we’re in this together, we’re going to get through it, we’re going to get you a fight soon. Do not worry.’ That did it all. Jo era, òbviament, I was still worried but it calmed me down. It calmed me down and like I said here we are a couple of weeks away and, de nou, I’m really thankful for my team.
Q
Jesús, everyone who saw you at the news conference was talking about how big you were. Is weight going to be a problem for this fight and traditionally have you ever had any weight difficulties?
J. Cuellar
No, I’ve never had any issues when it comes to weight and I’m very thankful again for the training camp we’ve had and continue to have and I’m ready for the fight.
Q
How much do you weigh right now?
J. Cuellar
130.
Q
Jesús, why did you want to fight Abner specifically?
J. Cuellar
Bé, Abner is a fantastic fighter and you have to beat the best in the world to be the best. Now we just have to get ready for 10 de desembre in Los Angeles.
R. Schaefer
Bé, gran. I want to thank all of the media members again. I know that many of you from the East Coast are planning on being here for this fight. I just want to say, I know you guys are going to be treated to a very special night. I am going to host a spectacular media dinner el divendres night as well. This is my first fight back, and I really couldn’t have asked for a better doubleheader with Cuellar and Abner Mares and Charlo and Williams and all the other fights I mentioned before. Així, I’m really excited about the fights, but I’m really excited to see you guys from the East Coast as well and appreciate the relationship that we have and look forward to working with you. I’ll see you in a couple of weeks and Happy Thanksgiving to all of you and all of your families. Moltes gràcies.

An array of talented fighters from the Los-Angeles area round out the evening as Oxnard’s Hugo “El cap” Centeno Jr. (24-1, 12 KOs) competes in a middleweight attraction, former title challenger Josesito López (33-7, 19 KOs) of Riverside in a six-round welterweight fight and Abner Mares’ Germà petit, Adan Mares (14-1-3, 3 KOs) enters the ring in a lightweight bout.
Un aficionat consumat que va néixer a Kazakhstan però baralla a Rússia,Lipinets turned pro in April of 2014 with a decision victory over Franklin Varela. The 27-year-old recorded six knockouts in a row before stepping up in competition and impressing with a victory over Haskell Lydell Rhodes in March 2015 and a knockout of Levan Ghvamichava in March. He kept the momentum going in July when he stopped established contender Walter Castillo in the seventh round. He will challenge the 29-year-old Zappavigna out of New South Wales, Austràlia. He enters this fight the winner of his last 10 concursos, inclòs el seu darrer triomf, a sixth-round stoppage of Ik Yang in July.
A highly regarded prospect with an exciting style, el jove de 21 anys Lubin burst onto the scene looking to finish opponents early as he cements his status as an elite contender. Fighting out of Orlando, he has already taken down experienced veterans including Orlando Lora, Ayi Bruce, Michael Finney and Norberto Gonzalez. He was sensational in November 2015 when he knocked out Alexis Camacho and in January he headlined his first card and dominated Jose De Jesus Macias in his first 10-round bout. He has kept the hot streak going in June by stopping veteran Daniel Sandoval in the third round and dominating veteran Ivan Montero in July.
A tall junior lightweight at more than six feet, el jove de 21 anys Barris picked up seven victories in a jam-packed 2015 en què va aturar cinc oponents dins la distància, including an uppercut left hook combo that ended the night for Manuel Vides last December. El nadiu de San Antonio es va convertir en professional 2013 and is on the fast track towards a world title shot as he most recently defeated Devis Boschiero in a title eliminator in July. Now he looks to stay unbeaten in a matchup against Tapia out of Mendoza, Argentina.

Nascuda i criada a la ciutat rica en boxa de Filadèlfia, Williams ha demostrat al llarg de la seva pujada dels 154 lliures que pot combatre amb el cervell tant com la seva Brawn. De quina altra manera expliqueu l’actual ratxa de 26 anys de nou baralles seguits sense perdre una sola ronda?
Més que un boxeador especialitzat, Williams també és un autèntic estudiant de la Sweet Science, tant dins com fora del ring. De fet, “J Roca” té un respecte tan profund per la història del seu esport que es té la sensació que ha dedicat tant temps a investigar les llegendes del joc com per perfeccionar una combinació de tres puny.
Parlant d’història, Julian Williams (22-0-1, 14 KOs) estarà buscant fer -ne alguns Desembre 10 Quan desafia el campió de 154 lliures Jermall Charlo al Centre Galen del campus de la USC a Los Angeles (TEMPS DE LA FUNCIÓ, 10 p.m. I/7 p.m. PT).
Durant una recent pausa de l’entrenament per la seva primera lluita mundial, Williams va xerrar amb nosaltres sobre l'home que creu que és el més gran lluitador de la història, La importància del jab, les seves habilitats culinàries bojes i el primer element de la seva llista de cubs (insinuació: Està a punt de creuar -lo).
Tens un heroi de boxa?
Respecto a Muhammad Ali com a heroi modern de la història per les coses que va estar a punt, no només pel que va fer a la boxa. A mi, La boxa d'Ali [realitzacions] són relatius i una part més petita del seu llegat en comparació amb el que hi havia a fora de l’anell.
La veritable grandesa de Muhammad Ali estava representada pel que va fer pel món i les graderies que va prendre més que les seves baralles.
De tots els boxejadors de la història, a qui desitges que poguessis lluitar, I com hauria jugat la lluita?
No vull donar -vos un resultat, Però diria que Sugar Ray Robinson, Perquè segons la meva opinió, És el millor lluitador que ha viscut mai. I voldria veure com em posaria de peu contra el millor lluitador per portar un parell de guants.
Sugar Ray Robinson tenia tot el gran selecció de punxons, les habilitats, el jab, la velocitat. Va ser un lluitador tremenda. Mai havia vist ningú tan bo abans ni des de llavors.
Va ser durant una època en què els nois lluitaven amb guants de cavalls de sis unces dues o tres vegades al mes. Ho feien contra la millor competició. Vull dir, Lluitaria a Jake LaMotta i Kid Gavilan en les baralles de 15 rondes. Simplement no construeixen homes així ja. No passa.
Sugar Ray Robinson donaria el millor en mi i em donaria un gran calibre sobre el bo que sóc realment. Mai no menysprearia el sucre Ray Robinson dient que el colpejaria. Respecto les llegendes. M'agradaria veure el bé que faria contra aquest tipus de nois.
Acaba aquesta frase: Si no és per a la boxa, Jo seria …
… Probablement només acabi la universitat, pagar els préstecs estudiantils i ser miserable. Probablement seria un important en l’administració d’empreses.
Quina és la concepció errònia més gran del públic sobre els boxejadors?
Que tots som estúpids.
Què és el més difícil que us heu atropellat mai, I com ho vas fer front?
Saps que, No intento sonar ni res, Però no ho recordo. He tingut algunes baralles dures, Però realment no recordo un oponent que m'ha fet mal així.
Mai no ha estat on era com, “Oh Déu meu, punxa tan fort,” o “Em va colpejar tan fort, No em podia reunir.” Mai no ho he experimentat. No dic que no pugui passar; Només dic que no ha passat.
Excloent -se, Qui és el millor lluitador de lliures lliures del món actual?
Està a prop, Perquè no crec que ningú hagi pres el lideratge per ara. Probablement diria Andre Ward, Però, al mateix temps, ha tingut tant de temps lliure.
Hi ha nois com Sergey Kovalev que han estat desmantellat a tothom, Aleshores, teniu nois com Guillermo Rigondeaux, que probablement és el millor lluitador del món, Però mai no ha tingut l'oportunitat de demostrar -ho al gran escenari.
Aleshores, tindreu Floyd Mayweather Jr., Qui crec que és el millor lluitador clar del món quan està actiu. Però es va retirar.
És difícil triar -ne un. No en he pogut triar. Podria escollir -ne un al començament del proper any.
Quin tipus de menjar és el més difícil de renunciar mentre s’entrena per lluitar?
M'agrada la pasta i la carn vermella. No menjo massa carn vermella quan estic entrenant, Perquè és massa difícil de tallar. M'agrada el bistec i el xai i la pasta. M'agrada tota la pasta en general.
Parlant de formació, Quin és el vostre exercici preferit?
Realment no en tinc cap. Els odio a tots. Només els faig perquè els he de fer.
Què passa amb un cop de puny preferit per llançar?
Depèn de qui lluiti, Però definitivament hauria de dir el jab, Perquè el Jab ho configura tot. Normalment és el meu cercador de gamma, i normalment puc controlar la lluita amb el jab. L’utilitzo pràcticament en cada lluita amb bon efecte.
Tens una pel·lícula de boxa preferida?
Toro furiós. Em va agradar Rocós, també. Sobretot em va agradar tot el Rocós cinema.
Qui és l’únic artista de la vostra llista de reproducció que sorprendria els fans de la lluita?
Teddy Pendergrass. Vaig créixer amb la meva mare i el meu pare agradant la seva música.
Preferiria atropellar un linebacker o fer -lo fora de les sabates?
Això depèn de qui sigui. Si ho és [Llegenda retirada de Baltimore Ravens] Ray Lewis, L’hauria de sucar. Perquè no vull ser atropellat per ell.
Acaba aquesta frase: A la gent se sorprendria que ho sàpiga …
… Sóc un cuiner increïble. Puc cuinar moltes coses, molt bé qualsevol cosa.
Si poguessis canviar una cosa del món, Què seria?
Relacions de competició. El món seria un lloc millor si tothom no veia tant de color.
Què hi ha a la llista de cubs de la vostra vida?
Vull ser campió del món, que puc aconseguir en la meva propera lluita, superant Jermall Charlo. Això és el que he estat treballant tan dur durant tota la meva vida.
No tinc una llista de cubs que vol anar a parar abans que s’acabi o anés al Japó ni res. És senzill: He estat treballant la meitat de la meva vida per convertir -me en campió del món, I això és el més important de la meva llista de cubs.
“12 Rondes amb …” es publica dimecres a Premierboxingchampions.com
La setmana que ve: 154-Campió de lliures Jermall Charlo.

Participants were on hand to discuss the exciting doubleheader on Gener 14 and celebrating the long awaited return of boxing to The Big Apple.
Això és el que els participants havien de dir dimecres:
JACK Badou
“I think this will be an exciting fight. I’m going to give it my all and he’s going to give it his all. This is a bigger fight than anything we’ve been a part of. He’s going to turn it up and so will I.
“Now it’s me and DeGale. All the other fights are in the past. We’ve had different results against the same fighters. But none of that matters, it’s time to fight.
“A real champion can take a loss and bounce back. It shows what kind of person you are. I’ve proven I’m mentally tough.
“Boxing is not dead. It’s here to stay. There are some very good fights coming up. Probably even more next year.
“I came from Sweden, a country that has no boxing. Now I’m here headlining in New York for a unification fight. El cel és el límit. I always stay humble and never forget where I came from.
“It’s not going to matter what people think on fight night. DeGale is definitely one of the top guys in the division. He’s a road warrior. He comes over here and fights guys in their backyards. He deserves a lot of credit. That’s why this fight is so big. We both want to be great.
“I like being the underdog. If I’m the underdog in this fight, then that’s perfect for me. There won’t be any excuses when I beat him.
“I just try to stay humble win after win and keep looking forward to bigger and better things. After this fight come talk to me about who is the best in the division.
“I don’t want to compare myself to anyone else but I’ve had a couple of good years. Now we’re working to have two even better years.
“I made a mistake and got caught in my loss. I was able to bounce back and it made me a way better fighter. It was definitely a blessing in disguise. People are still overlooking me because of it. I look at it as a good thing.
“Everything happens for a reason. I’m very blessed to be here in Brooklyn. This is my second home in America. I trained at Gleason’s Gym in 2009 and now I’m headlining at Barclays Center. És increïble.”
James DeGale
“És aquí. The big one. El millor lluitant contra el millor. Number one against number two. Badou Jack is a very good fighter. He doesn’t do anything spectacular, but he’s a compete fighter.
“I have that X-factor. I’ve lost before and I’m not going to lose again. I’ve come too far in my life to lose this opportunity.
“En Gener 14, Brooklyn is in for a treat. You will not want to miss this one. Make sure you get your tickets.
“My people in London can’t wait for me to fight at home. It’s coming. But first I want to take over in America.
“New York is one of my favorite cities. It’s a boxing city. I watched Santa Cruz vs. Frampton and it was a wicked atmosphere. I can’t wait to be in there.
“I’m very confident in my abilities. I believe I’m the best in the division and one of the best in the world. I’ve been waiting for this fight for a long time and I’m ready to get in there.
“I think in the last three fights I’ve shown everything. I haven’t been getting the respect that I deserve. I’ve beaten everyone put in front of me. This is what I love to do.
“I’m a natural super middleweight. I want to be in fights where people think I’m going to lose. I’ll challenge anybody.
“Me and Badou Jack are two different fighters. I think I’m going to beat him wide on the scorecards or stop him.”
JOSE PEDRAZA
“I’m thankful to everyone here and my people from New York who I know will be supporting me on fight night.
“I expect this to be a very exciting fight. I’m going to be ready for anything that Davis will bring into the ring. I’m going to take care of business.
“I’m very privileged to help with this cause and to help push boxing in New York. I’m going to represent my people on Gener 14 and I’m very proud of the opportunity.
“If Davis says he has to be killed to be beaten, then he’s going to have to go down.
“I’m undefeated and I will remain undefeated after Gener 14. I know Davis is a strong kid, but he isn’t on my level. I am looking to dominate this fight.
“Fighting at Barclays Center is really a dream come true. I know that I will have a lot of support from the Puerto Rican boxing fans and I’m going to train hard to perform for them.
“I’m sorry for Davis to be signed for Mayweather, because when I take away his undefeated record, I’m going to feel like I beat Mayweather.”
GERVONTA DAVIS
“It feels great to fight in Brooklyn for the first time. I’ve never fought in New York and it’s tremendous. I’ll have a lot of hometown fans driving up to here for the fight.
“Pedraza is a tough opponent. We’re going to work hard in camp and be ready to fight on Gener 14.
“My hometown has been backing me for all of these years. En Gener 14, I get my shot. És increïble. I know Pedraza is a great fighter. People will say he has more experience. But I had 206 wins in the amateurs and a lot of titles.
“There’s nothing Pedraza can bring to the ring that I haven’t seen before. I’ve been battle-tested inside the ring and outside the ring.
“He’s going to have to kill me to retain his title. I’m coming home a champion. No hi ha dubte al respecte.
“On paper this is definitely my hardest task. We’re both great fighters. I hope he trains hard because I’m training for the fight of my life.
“I’m going to steal the show on Gener 14. I’m going to get Pedraza out of there and then work to unify the division against the other champs.”
Floyd Mayweather, President de Mayweather Promotions
“Ja hem tornat. What other better city to be in, than New York City? It was always one of my dreams to fight in New York City. I’m glad I’m in a position to put fighters out there to give the fans what they want to see. New York City is the best place for boxing.
“For years and years these fighters have worked so hard and dedicated their lives to get to this point. I’m thankful for everyone who is supporting us and supporting our movement.
“The only thing we’re going to do is continue to build these fighters and help these fighters get to the highest heights. So many people have helped me get to this point, where I can give back to these young fighters.
“Lou DiBella is a guy I love to work with. The boxing business is about working together. Leonard works hard day in and day out to put these fighters in the best position, and I do the same. It’s all about working to get these fighters to the next level.
“We’re here in New York and we want to bring boxing to New York City. This is one of the meccas of boxing. The whole state has embraced me throughout my career.
“I’m very proud of Badou Jack. He’s a guy who carries himself like a gentleman. That’s what a true champion does. He’s very respectful, humble and appreciative.
“Badou Jack is such a hard worker and he’s very appreciative. I remember the position he was in. He’s still very thankful and humble now that he’s in a great position in his life and career.
“I’m just happy that I’m able to put fighters in a good position. They then have to take advantage of the position I put them in.
“We want to continue to do fights in this arena and bring championship boxing to New York City. We want to give you great shows again and again.”
LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO de Mayweather Promotions
“This is a tremendous platform. Coming to New York is something that Floyd has been advocating for. He’s wanted to bring a big event here and come Gener 14 that’s what the fans are going to get. We have a great night of fights from top to bottom.
“This is everything for Badou. This is why you lace them up when you’re a kid. This is an opportunity to be the best. He’s the best 168-pounder in the world and on Gener 14 he’ll have that platform to do it.
“When it comes to unification, you don’t see too many unified champions. The best fighting the best is what it’s all about. DeGale is an Olympic gold medalist and a world champion. He’s fought some very good fighters. Badou will be making his third title defense and there is no better opponent than DeGale.
“When two guys come together and they want to determine who’s the best, with everything on the line, that’s what it’s all about.
“The fans can expect to see Mayweather Promotions go back to Las Vegas with two world champions. One will be a unified champion and one will be the new super featherweight world champion.
“This is a great step-up for Gervonta. D'això es tracta la vida, stepping up and taking risks. That’s why you get into the sport. He’ll have his full arsenal on display on fight night.”
Lou DiBella, El president de DiBella Entertainment
“Fans should go out and buy their tickets once they go on sale. There is going to be a show here on Gener 14. We have lawyers and insurance people on it and we will pay what needs to be paid.
“This announcement not only represents a fight announcement, but a call to action to all boxing fans. Boxing needs your help in New York. We need to change or repeal this law that has really shut us down. Even if we can get really expensive insurance for Gener 14, the small promoters and small fights and grassroots boxing have come to a standstill.
“Come out to this incredible fight card on Gener 14. Jack vs. DeGale is as good as it gets. Jose Pedraza is Puerto Rico’s only champion and he’s defending against Gervonta Davis. That is a great fight. The undercard is also going to be terrific.
“It also represents boxing trying to take its rightful place back. We’re not sitting back in 2017 and letting our industry be brought to a halt. We’re going ahead and announcing Gener 14. But we need everyone’s help with respect to making the necessary changes to allow our sport to thrive in this space again.
“I promoted Badou early in his career and he is a terrific fighter. Ho fa tot bé. He’s active in the ring and he makes good fights, and so does DeGale. He comes forward and fights. These two guys are going to throw down. This is a fan friendly main event. With huge significance.
“The opening bout features Puerto Rico’s only champion, fighting in front of New York’s huge Puerto Rican community. Gervonta Davis comes right up from Baltimore and it’s a can’t-miss fight.”
BRETT Yormark, CEO de Brooklyn Sports & Entreteniment
“We want to reinforce our commitment to boxing. Not just from a Barclays Center perspective, but from a state perspective. Boxing is very important to the history here in New York and we want that to continue. We want to take a lead position as the sport continues to grow and thrive in the marketplace.
“We have become one of the premier venues in the country for boxing. We look forward to a very successful 2017. This fight in particular is very important to us. We haven’t had a championship event here since July. Floyd being involved brings a whole different dynamic as well and we’re excited for a tremendous undercard full of Brooklynites.
“Floyd has been here to the Barclays Center several times and we’re thrilled that he’s back. It’s a pleasure to welcomes Badou Jack and James DeGale to Brooklyn and I’m confident that you will like the Brooklyn crowd.
“There has not been a major boxing event at Barclays Center since the Juliol 30 Santa Creu vs. Frampton card and we’re proud to take the lead on bringing boxing back to New York. We’re excited that Gener 14 will be the first major boxing card in New York in 2017. We are more committed than ever before to bringing boxing to Barclays Center.
“It’s a very exciting time for the building, for the sport and it should be an electric evening for the sport.”
STEPHEN ESPINOZA, VP executiu & Gerent General, SHOWTIME Sports
“This card is unique, high quality and special. You don’t see cards like this every day. These four fighters have made a combined 14 appearances on SHOWTIME. We’re very proud of these four fighters.
“To create and deliver special events, it takes commitment. When you’re committed to a cause, special things happen. We’ve done special things with Mayweather Promotions and now we have this great card coming to us.
“The four young men on the stage today are some of the most talented and accomplished athletes in the sport. This is the best this sport has to offer. They’re committed to taking on other accomplished athletes. We have four of those fighters here on the televised portion and we have to salute them.
“New York City has a tremendous history in boxing. It’s hosted the biggest fights in the history of the sport. Barclays Center has emerged as the biggest and most aggressive supporter of boxing on the east coast. We’re optimistic that there won’t be any holdup getting to Gener 14.
“No network is as committed or as passionate about boxing as SHOWTIME is. The biggest and the best fights are on SHOWTIME. No other network is televising fights like these. Top five versus top five and champion versus champion. There is no better way to kick-off boxing in 2017 than with this great card at Barclays Center.”
ERIC ADAMS, Brooklyn Borough President
“Now is the call for action. We have witnessed what happens when the call for action is not personified and mobilized. Too many people pass legislation and are focused on the paper it’s written on, instead of the people who are impacted by it. It is clear that New York state is the Empire State where we build empires instead of destroying them and we are destroying the empire of boxing in New York.
“If we don’t do something about this piece of legislation, then these fighters will no longer have the aspiration to fight in the state that they love. That cannot happen. New Yorkers don’t follow the agenda, we lead the agenda. We must do that to make sure this is done correctly.
“We are going to mobilize and move in the right direction while protecting the fighters. We don’t want to knock out boxing in the state of New York. That cannot happen.
“This is going to be a great opportunity for these fighters and for Brooklyn and we are thankful to the team at Barclays for putting these fighters on this great stage.”

Jack kept his belt via a controversial split draw against Lucian Bute, a match in which many thought Jack had prevailed, while DeGale defeated mandatory challenger Rogelio Medina. Both fighters were sharp; each landed over 60 percent of his respective power punches to set up this showdown for the top spot in the super middleweight division.
“We’re looking forward to bringing our first boxing event to Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Gener 14, when Badou Jack will face James DeGale in a world title unification bout live on SHOWTIME,” va dir Leonard Ellerbe, CEO de Mayweather Promotions. “Badou has a tremendous work ethic and ability to stay focused and this has helped him get to where he is now in his career. He’s prepared to keep putting the hard work in to stay on top. Every time he was counted out, it just made him work harder. He’s proof that if you stay focused and dedicated to your craft, you can reach your dreams. I’m also eager to see Mayweather Promotions’ own Gervonta Davis in his first world title fight. We believe there is a bright future ahead for that young man and this could be the first step on his way to a truly special career.”
“Boxing will return to New York in 2017 with a tremendous card at Barclays Center on Gener 14 featuring two high caliber championship contests,” va dir Lou DiBella, El president de DiBella Entertainment. “With Badou Jack and James DeGale facing off, you have champion versus champion, the best fighting the best in what promises to be an action-packed battle in a super middleweight unification. Puerto Rico’s only world champion, undefeated Jose Pedraza, will defend his junior lightweight title against a hungry, heavy-handed challenger in Gervonta Davis.”
“Jack vs. DeGale is a terrific start to 2017,” va dir Brett Yormark, CEO de Brooklyn Sports & Entreteniment. “I want to thank Floyd Mayweather for making this fight happen and to Lou DiBella for his continued support of BROOKLYN BOXING. In our fifth year at Barclays Center, we are committed to boxing more than ever before.”
“En 2016, SHOWTIME delivered more high-quality, competitive fights than any other network and 2017 no serà diferent. We’re thrilled to kick off the year with a true ’50/50′ unification fight between two world champions in the prime of their career,” va dir Stephen Espinoza, Vicepresident Executiu i Gerent General, SHOWTIME Sports. “Badou Jack vs. James DeGale is boxing at its best – a matchup between the No. 1 – i n. 2-ranked boxers in the division – the right fight happening at the right time. And the Jose Pedraza-Gervonta Davis co-feature, which features two of boxing’s rising stars, could have been a main event on its own. There is no better way to begin the year, as well as our tremendous run of four separate SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING presentations over a seven-week span.”
Gat, who fights out of Las Vegas by way of Stockholm, Suècia, captured the WBC 168-pound crown with a 12-round majority decision over previously unbeaten defending champion Anthony Dirrelllast Abril 24. A former amateur standout who represented Gambia in the 2008 Jocs Olímpics, Jack retained his belt against former world title challenger George Groves last Set. 12 on the undercard of Floyd Mayweather’s final fight. Jack was an underdog against both Dirrell and Groves before retaining his title. El 6-peus-1, 33-year-old won four in a row leading up to his controversial draw against Bute in April.
Degale won the vacant IBF belt in his U.S. debut last May by dropping Andre Dirrell twice on his way to a unanimous decision. La 2008 Olympic Gold Medalist from London then successfully defended it last November in a thrilling shootout with the hometown favorite and former titlist Bute. El de 30 anys, who’s only blemish came in a majority decision in his 11º bout against the then-unbeaten Groves, will make his fourth consecutive start outside his native England as he looks to become a global power and a unified champion at 168 lliura.
The switch-hitting Puerto Rican Olympian Pedraza backed up his “El Franctirador” moniker against Andrey Klimov, picking apart the Russian with superior speed and accuracy on his way to a world title win last June. Pedraza earned a shot at the title in his previous bout with a career-best victory over former world title challenger Michael Farenas. The 27-year-old then went on to defend his title successfully against Edner Cherry last October and most recently against Stephen Smith in April. This fight marks the fourth consecutive time that Pedraza has fought on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING.
A highly regarded prospect that won the 2012 Campionat Nacional Guants, the 22-year-old Davis recorded five victories inside of the distance in 2015. The Baltimore native, who Floyd Mayweather has called “the next big star in boxing,” kept his momentum going into 2016 as he recorded a sixth-round stoppage of Guillermo Avila in April and a first round knockout of Mario Macias in June. Davis enters his first world title showdown with seven straight victories by stoppage.

Jermall Charlo vs. Transcripció de la conferència de mitjans de comunicació de Julian Williams

Leave a comment
Richard Schaefer
Moltes gràcies. I gràcies a tots els mitjans de comunicació per estar a la trucada d'avui. Estic molt emocionat. La meva primera conferència de boxa després de gairebé tres anys fora de l’esport. Així, Estic molt emocionat de tornar -hi.
I quina millor manera de fer -ho que amb una doble capçalera com aquesta? És prou rar per tenir un partit com Jesús Cuellar vers Abner Mares, que ha escrit la lluita de l'any.
Però tenir Jermall Charlo vers Julian Williams, és un altre candidat de la lluita de l'any – Puc dir -ho ara mateix. Tenir dos candidats de lluita de l'any, És com el dia i l'edat d'avui gairebé inèdits. I així, Realment és un regal molt especial.
Vull agrair primer i sobretot els combatents per haver acceptat aquests grans partits. Vull agrair a Showtime el compromís amb l’esport, per mostrar baralles així. Stephen Espinoza surt i vol combinar els partits competitius. I crec que està fent una feina absolutament fantàstica.
Però abans de començar, Només vull fer un breu comentari. L’esport de la boxa va perdre ahir un gran amic, Todd Harlib, Qui es podia veure en infinitat de barris de lluita, inclòs Jermall Charlo, Qui està al telèfon amb nosaltres avui.
Els nostres pensaments i oracions són amb la seva família i amics i tota la comunitat de boxa en aquest moment. Així, Em sap greu haver de denunciar -ho.
Aquesta lluita aquí que discutim avui és sense cap pregunta una de les millors baralles que es poden fer a l’esport, Independentment de la classe de pes. És una lluita que els fans de la lluita van exigir realment.
Molta gent es va preguntar si passaria alguna vegada? I aquí està. Aquí està, un dels més parlats de baralles, Una de les més demanades de lluites per veure -les en directe a la boxa del campionat Showtime el 10 de desembre com a part d'aquesta fantàstica doble capçalera amb Cuellar i Mares.
La lluita s’associa amb els principals campions de boxa en directe des del Centre Galen de la Universitat del Sud de Califòrnia a Los Angeles, que és un excel·lent nou arena d’última generació on també els equips de bàsquet i voleibol de la universitat també. Ha acollit una baralla allà abans amb la lluita contra el títol de pes pesat amb Bermane Stiverne i Chris Arreola.
Així, Si viviu a la zona de Los Angeles o en algun lloc del sud de Califòrnia, satisfer, Assegureu -vos de sortir i formar part d'aquesta fantàstica capçalera. Les entrades estan disponibles i comencen tan poc com $35.00. Seients fantàstics per a $35.00
Per comprar bitllets, satisfer, anar a www.galentix.com.
Ara és un plaer presentar-vos el nostre co-promotor. Aquesta lluita és una copromoció entre RingStar Sports i TGB Promocions. Tom Brown està molt familiaritzat amb l’arena que hi ha al centre de Galen. Va ser ell qui va reunir la lluita amb Stiverne i Arreola en els dies. I és que ara és un plaer dirigir -lo a Tom Brown per fer uns quants comentaris.
Tom Brown
Bé, moltes gràcies, Richard. Només vull dir que les promocions de TGB estan encantades de col·laborar -se una vegada més amb Stephen Espinoza i el gran equip a Showtime juntament amb Richard Schaefer i RingStar Sports.
També estic encantat de tornar al bell campus de la Universitat del sud de Califòrnia al Galen Center.
La idea de la lluita del campionat entre Charlo i Julian Williams és – Com acaba de mencionar Richard – no pot perdre el partit entre dos dels millors pesos mitjans del món del món.
Així, aquest, Juntament amb l’esdeveniment principal – La lluita del campionat WBA Featherweight entre Cuellar i Mares fa que no es pugui perdre la nit. I com va dir Richard, Dues possibles lluites de candidats a la lluita de l'any.
Richard i jo estem treballant preparant una acció envasada sota la targeta que s’anunciarà molt aviat. Així, Esperem una nit fantàstica el 10 de desembre en un lloc fantàstic amb baralles encara més grans. Moltes gràcies.
R. Schaefer
Moltes gràcies, Tom. Ara el següent home que presentaré és un bon amic meu. Ens coneixem des de fa temps. I vam reunir algunes de les baralles més grans del passat. Allà per 2013 Quan estàvem al foc.
Tothom va reconèixer Showtime com a líder en l’esport de la boxa. I això és degut a Stephen Espinoza. Stephen és, sobretot, un fan. I li agrada seure allà i veure un gran partit. I això és exactament el que arribeu aquí.
Així, Nosaltres com a fans de lluita. Nosaltres, com a membres dels mitjans de comunicació, som promotors o qualsevol cosa, Realment podem beneficiar -nos de la passió de Stephen de combinar aquestes sorprenents baralles.
Així, És un plaer per a mi presentar -vos ara – Sé que el seu títol és vicepresident executiu encarregat de l’esport, però el dic president de Showtime Sports. Jo sempre – I sempre ho vaig fer. Enrecordar?
Stephen Espinoza
Sí, tens raó. Des del primer dia vaig tenir aquesta feina. Gràcies, Richard. Estem encantats de treballar amb Richard i Ringstar i Tom Brown i TGB una vegada més. I una benvinguda especial Richard, a qui estem encantats de tornar a l’esport. No només perquè és el meu amic, sinó perquè és un dels nois de l’esport. Molt professional i un tirador recte. És una cosa que aquest esport pot utilitzar més.
Així, La combinació de Tom i Richard és dues fletxes rectes – Tan recte com arriben. I estic encantat de treballar amb tots dos.
Aquest any, Showtime ha continuat realitzant les baralles més grans i millors. I crec que realment no hi ha dubte que hem tingut la línia més forta dels millors i més importants coincidències de qualsevol xarxa de la boxa.
2016 Fins ara ha inclòs dos concursants de la lluita de l'any, Un KO de l'any Contendent. Lluita després de la lluita dels deu primers oponents enfront dels deu primers.
I mentre emboliquem 2016 i entrar a 2017, Definitivament estem buscant mantenir aquest impuls. Recentment hem anunciat set grans partits – 14 cim 10 Els combatents que es prenen els uns als altres – En sis baralles del títol mundial.
I podríem seguir endavant sobre els números. Tres baralles que són el número u enfront del número dos de la divisió. Però entre els plaers de fer això és aconseguir baralles com aquesta.
Des que Floyd es va retirar, passar una mica més d’un any, Hi ha una pregunta que personalment tinc i que tots ens aquí a Showtime aconsegueixen de forma constant.
I això ho és, ja saps, Qui és la propera estrella? Qui és la propera súper estrella? Qui anirà a portar l’esport endavant. I el bo d’aquest esport de boxa és que això es determina al ring. No us ho puc dir.
Fins i tot si hagués de triar dos o allà pensava que es desenvoluparia així, aspecte – Han d’actuar al ring. Però són baralles com aquesta. Igual que, Jermall Charlo vers Julian Williams, que determinen qui són les properes estrelles.
Tenim dos joves combatents en els cims de la seva carrera. Un campió del món que s'ha establert com una de les futures estrelles de l'esport. I assumir un dels concursants més durs de qualsevol divisió de Williams.
Estem molt orgullosos de tots dos combatents. Tots dos han estat a casa adults aquí a Showtime. Jermall ha lluitat amb nosaltres cinc vegades abans. Julian ha estat a Showtime set vegades. Així, Estem orgullosos que el paper que Showtime ha jugat a les dues carreres.
Però el més important, Ens sentim orgullosos que aquests nois s’aturessin per fer aquest tipus de lluita. Jermall Charlo va ser considerat com un dels més emocionants, jove, campions a l’esport. Ha defensat aquest títol amb èxit, va construir una base de fan a la seva ciutat natal de Houston, I realment sembla fer -se càrrec de la divisió i elevar -se a l'Echelon Star de l'esport.
Julian Williams ha estat un noi que la gent ha identificat tranquil·lament com una de les estrelles ascendents des de fa temps. Sé que ha estat esperant amb paciència – I de vegades no espera tan pacientment – pel seu tret. I sé que estarà a punt.
Crec que és una mica adequat que aquesta lluita es faci el 10 de desembre, Una setmana abans que el molt llegendari campió mundial de Filadèlfia, Bernard Hopkins. Els combatents de Philly són una llarga tradició. I es necessita molta feina i un tipus especial d’individu per ser anomenat Philly Fighter. Només lluitar a Philly no et converteix en un lluitador de Philly. I sé que Julian està disposat a portar aquest títol de Philly Fighter amb molta orgull i activament durant els propers anys.
Així, De totes les baralles que hem anunciat. I hi ha moltes baralles de qualitat. Aquesta lluita – La lluita de Charlo-Williams – és un dels que estic més emocionat. Dos nois joves dels cims de la seva carrera lluiten realment per determinar qui podria controlar aquesta divisió durant molt de temps.
Això ajudarà a determinar qui són les futures estrelles del nostre esport. Richard?
R. Schaefer
Moltes gràcies, Stephen, molt ben dit. I per a mi, Tots sabem que són combatents fantàstics. Tots dos estan invictes. Els conec – Tots dos – Durant molt de temps. He estat involucrat en moltes de les seves baralles.
També són homes joves fantàstics fora de l’anell. I tan bo com entra dins de l’anell. Així, Realment ho són – Tots dos – Porten el paquet total. I tens raó, Stephen, Té paciència i de vegades no tan pacientment esperava.
Ara és un plaer presentar -vos Julian Williams, que està format per Stephen Edwards. És el concursant número 1 classificat per l'IBF a la divisió de pes mig júnior. I va aconseguir el seu primer rànquing després de detenir Marcello Matano a la 7a ronda del març.
Està invicte amb un registre de 22-0-1, 14 nocauts, Julian Williams.
Julian Williams
Ei, Com va tothom? Primer vull enviar els meus pensaments oracions a Todd Harlib i a tota la seva família i als seus éssers estimats. Era un noi fantàstic. Era un home fantàstic i encara millor. I el considero amic. Crec que ara és un moment trist, de forma, Només vull fer -ho primer.
La formació ha anat molt bé. Tenim un equip molt bo i molts bons sparring. Fins ara tenim un campament molt bo. Crec que això és realment, Realment bona lluita. Crec que va ser una lluita que els aficionats a la boxa hardcore havien de veure.
És una lluita que va haver de passar. Encomio a Charlo per augmentar i ser un autèntic campió. I vull mostrar al món el que ja sé. Estic molt motivat. I sé que Jermall també està motivat.
Així, Crec que els nois veuran un autèntic tret. Té totes les eines i habilitats. I tinc totes les eines i habilitats. I veureu qui surt a la part superior aquesta nit.
I ho sóc 100% segur que seré jo.
R. Schaefer
. Ara Jermall Charlo i els seus germans, bé, Els conec des de la seva primera lluita. I quin viatge ha estat.
Avui és el campió mundial de pes mig invicte IBF. S'està entrenant amb Ronnie Shields. Un dels entrenadors més llegendaris de Houston, Texas.
Va guanyar el seu títol aturant Cornelius Bundrage a la tercera ronda el setembre passat. I ha defensat el cinturó ja, incloent -hi una victòria de decisió unànime sobre la primera – molt de joc campió del món – Austin Trout al maig.
I ara és un plaer que us presenti de nou, algú que he presentat abans moltes vegades. El campió mundial de pes mig IBF, Jermall Charlo.
Jermall Charlo
Gràcies, Richard. Com va dir Julian, Todd era el meu home. I vull donar a la seva família i a tothom que estigui a prop de Todd, les meves oracions i el meu condol.
Escolto que Julian parla sobre ell ho és 100% llest. I ho és 100% segur que guanyarà aquesta lluita. Però ho he sentit abans. Estic a punt per a les apostes. Estic a punt per a aquest nivell. Ho sento, la lluita va trigar tant de temps. No em va ser necessàriament a mi. Però crec que tot passa per una raó. I és un moment perfecte i no puc esperar per entrar -.
R. Schaefer
Bé. Estic d'acord amb tu. Les coses passen per una raó. Estic molt contenta que sóc el que té l’honor de promocionar aquesta lluita i tota aquesta targeta. Sé que seran batalles de peus amb els dos.
I també ho sé amb Cueller i eugues. Diuen que els estils fan baralles. Crec que aquests estils d’aquests quatre combatents estan perfectament fets. I només no puc esperar el 10 de desembre al Galen Center i viure en el campionat Showtime Boxing.
L’obrirem ara als mitjans de comunicació per a preguntes per a qualsevol dels participants a la trucada.
Q
Jermall, Sé que havíeu de tenir un procediment que vau fer voluntàriament als ulls. Em podeu donar algun detall al respecte?? Quin era exactament el problema? Era només una qüestió de, com, Ets tan cec com un ratpenat? O hi havia alguna cosa més que hi passés?
J. Charlo
No era necessàriament voluntàriament. Gairebé vaig tenir problemes de visió fins a la meva última lluita a Las Vegas.
Vaig lluitar contra la lluita. Em vaig ajustar per poder lluitar clar. Així que ara he fet el procediment. Sí, Se suposa que la lluita es produiria a l'octubre. I ho volia llavors. Però era només per a mi poder esborrar l'examen mèdic. Menys estrès ara per tirar endavant i anar 20/20 I estic a punt ara.
Com he dit, tot passa per una raó. I la visió clara és una de les coses que m’ajuda a facilitar la lluita.
Q
I quin ull era, a propòsit, Jermall?
J. Charlo
Els dos ulls.
Q
Tots dos? Bé, I ara et sents com una persona nova?
J. Charlo
Estic 110%, Crystal Clear, Estic bé. Estic a punt.
Q
Quant millor això et farà? Que ara es pot veure clarament. Vull dir que les vostres habilitats de lluita són una cosa. Però ara podeu veure l'objectiu, òbviament, Molt millor que sona. Vull dir que creieu que us farà molt millor, lluitador precís?
J. Charlo
Em dóna molta més confiança. Per descomptat, És una cosa important i probablement ho he hagut d’aconseguir. No he lluitat amb una visió clara de tota la meva vida.
Així que ara estic encara més motivat. Estic desitjós d’entrar -hi per veure com és la nova persona.
Q
Heu pensat en tenir -ho abans a la vostra carrera?
J. Charlo
Sí, Sempre ho volia. Sempre ho volia. Però sóc un noi supersticiós. Així, M’agrada mantenir les coses, La manera com sempre volia. És una cosa que sento que em portarà al següent nivell.
Q
Algunes persones van suggerir que potser desbanaria el títol i pujaria a pes mig per no lluitar contra vosaltres. Quan tot el que passava i estaves assegut allà com a obligatori per a ell – Quina era la vostra sensació personal sobre el que estava passant?
J. Williams
Realment no sabia la situació mèdica fins a mitjans de setembre.
En realitat vaig pensar que lluitaria. I no pensar en la idea que es desfà. El fet que continués queixant -se del pes de les baralles anteriors. Si la lluita es retardava, La gent començarà a dir que és la boxa.
Però no pensava que ho fos – Vaig pensar que estava fent la lluita per qualsevol motiu. Però com he dit, En aquell moment no sabia quin era el motiu.
Tot el que es troba sota el pont. Ni tan sols importa. La lluita és el 10 de desembre. Saps a què vull dir. Va dir que portarà el seu joc. Té 20/20 visió. Jo tenia 20/20 Visió tota la meva vida. Ara ho som fins i tot.
Així, No hi haurà excuses.
Q
Quan es va assabentar que finalment es va fer i va anar bé. I Showtime anava a anunciar -ho i la lluita va estar encesa. Quin va ser el teu sentiment? Va ser alleujament? Era emocionat?
J. Williams
Simplement sentia que volia començar a treballar. Tot el procés m’ha fet practicar la meva paciència.
No em va emocionar massa perquè sabia que lluitaria pel títol mundial la meva propera lluita amb algú. Vaig ser més com Let’s Mirant la feina. Vull començar a entrenar campament immediatament i preparar -me per guanyar.
Q
Hi va haver alguna frustració que els vostres no estiguessin a l'esdeveniment principal? I que esteu en una co-cinema. O ho heu entès perquè Abner Mares és el sud de Califòrnia. I és per això.
J. Charlo
Richard Schaefer és un bon promotor. Té molta experiència en el joc. No em preocupa ser l’obertura ni l’esdeveniment principal ni res d’això.
Per descomptat, Estic cansat d’estar al segon lloc. Em sento com Kevin Durant. Però no és en el sentit de, com, Res que puc fer al respecte.
Q
I després Julian, La mateixa pregunta per a vosaltres. Hi ha alguna sorpresa que els vostres nois estiguessin a la co-funda i no a l'esdeveniment principal?
J. Williams
Per ser honest amb tu, Ni tan sols ho vaig pensar. Només vull posar -me al ring i posar alguns guants per aconseguir que aquesta cosa vagi.
Crec que tot passa per una raó. Abner Mares és un lluitador molt bo. És com un campió de tres divisions. Va guanyar les seves ratlles.
Així, òbviament, Tenim més feina per fer abans de poder encapçalar la targeta. Així, No hi pensava i, a més, no vaig pensar mai.
R. Schaefer
El fet és que teniu tota la raó. Cadascun d'aquests esdeveniments podria ser un esdeveniment principal. I en qualsevol altra xarxa seria un esdeveniment principal. Algunes altres xarxes probablement fins i tot la convertirien en un pagament per vista.
Així, Així de bo és aquesta targeta. Podria tenir molt fàcilment Brrn Charlo-Williams és l'esdeveniment principal si hauria estat a Philly. Hauria estat. Si hauria estat a Houston, hauria estat.
Es troba a LA al sud de Califòrnia. Així, És per això que tenim Cuellar i eugues. Es tracta de crear emoció. Es tracta dels fans, etc.. Els quatre d'aquests nois són només campions excel·lents. Això és el que són. Gent fantàstica. Realment no afecta d’una manera ni d’una altra.
S. Espinoza
I afegiré des de la perspectiva de la xarxa, Una de les coses que vam estar agraïts per treballar amb combatents com aquests i promotors com Tom i Richard és, Què volem combinar fins als esdeveniments de blockbuster, No tenim aquests problemes d’ego.
Richard té tota la raó. No tots els programes de xarxa d’aquesta manera. Però el que intentem fer – Nosaltres com a grup de combatents, promotors, administradors, és el millor programa que aquest esport ofereix.
Així, Realment estem realment lliurant a cada targeta. Aquest podria ser clarament un esdeveniment principal a Houston o Philly o en qualsevol altre lloc. Però la idea era, Aquesta seria una pissarra de nivell A ++ lluita de dalt a baix.
I això requereix el compromís de tothom. I la gent s’adona que es tracta de no tenir ego. I només adonar -se que l’augment de la marea aixeca tots els vaixells.
Q
Jermall, On creus que Julian Williams valora com a oponent?
J. Charlo
Tots dos estem fins al nivell superior. Sens dubte és un dels meus millors oponents fins a aquesta data. Té gana com jo. No estic necessàriament preocupat per cap de les coses que va dir de tenir tanta gana com per estar lluitant contra mi. Jo també era aquell noi. Estar a punt per lluitar contra K9 i esperar i esperar.
És el meu rival més dur. I estic a punt per a això.
Q
Parla’ns de prendre aquesta lluita. I per què és important per a vosaltres.
J. Charlo
Cada lluita és una lluita dura. Cada baralla que he de sortir i donar el millor possible i estar al meu joc A. Per tant, és una bona lluita per a mi tècnicament. Es tracta de Roy Jones i Bernard Hopkins en un tipus de lluita mitjana. Ens baixarem i ens prepararem. Estic a punt per a això.
Aquesta part del nostre llegat és tot el que he volgut, Creixent com a jove lluitador, jove campió. Veient que aquestes grans baralles es transmeten a Showtime. I ho és, com, Ara és el meu torn. I he de lliurar tot el que sempre he volgut. I això és el que he estat esperant.
I només passa que ha de ser Julian Williams. I com he dit que tots dos vam sortir a la ruta dura. No ho va ser, com, Tan fàcil com em dono la mà al meu desafiador, és un dels millors del món. I això és el que vull classificar com a.
Q
Juliano, també, Heu estat molt vocals sobre aquesta lluita. Digueu -nos per què esteu tan segurs que podreu guanyar aquesta lluita.
J. Williams
Estic segur del que puc fer.
Estic segur perquè vull ser el campió del món de pes mig júnior. Crec que Jermall és un bon lluitador. Però abans no reconeixia l'escena. Està compromès, fort, I ràpid. Només vull assegurar -me que no tenim excuses sobre el pes i aquest tipus de converses.
J. Charlo
No hi ha cap problema de pes. No hi ha cap problema de pes. Traieu -ho de la vostra ment. No hi ha cap problema de pes. Et diré que tothom ho sap.
Q
Havies parlat abans de Todd Harlib. Es pot elaborar el que va voler dir per a tu? I la confiança que us va aportar com a tallador?
J. Charlo
Todd em va ensenyar molt. Va voler dir molt per a mi també. Ronnie Shields i Todd van elaborar el temps que han estat al voltant del joc de boxa i van veure les mateixes coses que veuen ara.
Todd, volia dir molt. Acabo de parlar amb ell, com, Fa un parell de dies perquè em va enviar uns quants nois a treballar. Sé que havia passat a Rússia i va atrapar una mica d’error. Però no pensava que no seria res. Vaig pregar per ell. I esperava que millorés.
És com he dit, Simplement va passar a ser una cosa que, No puc controlar. Així, Només he de seguir lluitant. I espero que el meu proper home tallat sigui tan bo com Todd. Fins i tot he estat a través del ring i he mirat a Todd treballant en un altre noi. I va venir parlant amb mi i em va fer saber que era tot el negoci. I Jermall, Només cal estar concentrat. No us preocupeu per ningú.
Acabo de lluitar a les mans de Déu. I amb l'esperança que mai no hagi de necessitar la urgència per necessitar -ho de nou.
Q
Vaig parlar amb Ronnie, Va dir que li vas dir que aquesta lluita serà una mica més especial perquè li dedicaràs aquesta lluita a ell. Això prendrà qualsevol forma que representi el seu nom a la túnica o als troncs o qualsevol cosa semblant?
J. Charlo
Sí, Dedico aquesta lluita a Todd. De fet, un cop ho mapem tot. Però vull seguir parlant -ne.
Dedico aquesta lluita a Todd. És un autèntic amic meu. I només és lamentable haver de pujar al vestidor i no haver de Todd ajudant -me i tot així. Per descomptat, per descomptat, Sento una mica de tristesa perquè no sigui aquí. Però sé que està en bones mans. Així que això és el principal.
Q
És aquesta lluita aquí mateix, la primera que realment us posarà a prova i potser us portarà al següent nivell i comenceu a encendre aquest fusible?
J. Williams
Sí, definitivament. Sense Dubte. Sempre que tingueu un 50/50 lluita, Dos nois de 26 anys, tots dos en el primer moment de la seva carrera. Serà una prova per als dos combatents.
És rar que veiem que dos combatents es posen al ring en aquest tipus de lluita. Així que crec que és definitivament el primer pas per construir el meu llegat.
Q
Richard, Què representa aquesta lluita en el règim d'aquesta divisió, que és una divisió apilada i aquests dos combatents en particular?

Crec que teniu dos dels millors combatents de la seva divisió lluitant en aquesta lluita particular. I així es tracta d’una lluita extremadament significativa per la divisió. I aquests són dos – Algú va dir abans – Es tracta de dos joves combatents invictes i confiats que s’atreveixen a ser grans.
En aquest moment de la seva carrera lluitant entre ells, s’atreveixen a ser grans. I això és. Aquest tipus de baralles se separaran l’un de l’altre. I crec que el cel és el límit aquí per a aquesta divisió i potencialment altres divisions.
Però així és com es construeix un campió en una estrella i després una súper estrella. Aquest tipus de baralles, ja saps, Aquest tipus de baralles significatives. I per tal que això passi, Cal tenir dos combatents que estiguin disposats a desafiar -se.
I com he dit, s’atreveix a ser gran.
Q
Jermall, Quines debilitats veieu a Julian Williams que teniu previst explotar la nit de lluita?
J. Charlo
Res, És un noi fort. Tot el que vulgueu dir sobre ell. És bo, lluitador de la vella escola. Estic cansat de sentir preguntes sobre què ha fet o què fa.
Sóc campió per una raó. Em quedo campió. No penso moure’m. No tinc previst res d'aquestes coses de les que heu parlat de tots. Estic bé.
Q
Què considereu el vostre avantatge més gran en aquesta lluita??
J. Charlo
Que no se suposa que aniré i estar en alguna superestrella. Miri. És un negoci. Estic apostant i lluitant per tot el que ofereix la boxa.
I el meu avantatge és estar enfocat i humil i fort com ho he estat sempre.
Q
Per a ambdós peleadores, Quina importància és construir un nou capítol a la vostra carrera? I potser un nou ídol a la boxa.
J. Williams
Ai, És una lluita extremadament gran. Crec que qui guanyi aquesta lluita serà considerat el millor pes mitjà més jove del món. Crec que qui guanyi la lluita tindrà la victòria més significativa a la divisió de pes mig júnior.
Crec que, ja que Canelo va dir bàsicament que no lluita en aquesta divisió. Qui guanyi la lluita serà rei de la divisió.
Així, Crec que és extremadament, extremadament important.
J. Charlo
Lluita molt gran, Lluita molt important per mi, Cureu la divisió. Serà una bona baralla, 1. Estic a punt per donar tot el que tinc. Serà una bona lluita per a mi. I serà una bona lluita per Julian. Els dos ho hem aconseguit gran i tots dos hem de donar als fans el que volen veure. Així, És el moment.
Q
Richard, Quina importància per a vosaltres va ser el que seria aquest primer esdeveniment amb RingStar Sports? I per a Stephen, Quina importància va ser tenir aquestes grans baralles per Showtime aquest any?
S. Espinoza
Bé, Des de la perspectiva de l’espectacle, El nostre objectiu és proporcionar lluites espectaculars cada mes o més sovint si podem. De vegades les quotes per programar o ferides o coses, Hi ha algunes llacunes a la nostra programació.
Però un cop vam tornar, Volíem acabar l'any fort. I realment, Envieu un missatge sobre el nostre compromís amb l’esport. Així, Amb l’ajuda dels promotors, els directius, I el més important és que els combatents, Podem combinar una pissarra més forta que qualsevol cosa que hem tornat a veure en el calendari de programació de boxa recent. Realment està tot sense utilitzar el pagament per vista. I tot és un tipus més gran i un tipus superior.
És una cosa molt especial per a nosaltres. Estem molt orgullosos dels. I estem buscant continuar -ho durant tot 2017.
R. Schaefer
Bé, I per a mi, Crec que la meva reputació parla per si mateixa. M’agrada fer grans esdeveniments, lluites significatives, I això és el que sempre he fet.
I aquí no és una excepció per tornar i promoure una targeta que consisteix sense cap qüestió de dos candidats potencials de la lluita de l'any. Dos cremadors de graner en una nit és un somni fet realitat.
I fer -ho per la meva ciutat natal. Fer -ho a la Universitat del sud de Califòrnia, USC, Galen Center, el lloc interior més recent de Los Angeles. I la universitat on dos dels meus fills van a l’escola. És una nit molt especial per a mi.
I també és una nit molt especial perquè Charlo i Williams i Mares i Cuellar – Conec aquests homes joves des de fa temps. Així que realment és bo – És com tornar a casa o tornar.
Ja que aquesta va ser l’última pregunta, Entenc, Vull donar les gràcies a tots. Però vull fer un comentari. Sí, Els dos tenen 20/20 visió. Però no hi hagi cap pregunta al respecte. El nom d'aquesta targeta és 50/50. I ja sabeu per què és 50/50.
Perquè aquestes dues baralles ho són 50/50 baralles. I així, Que el millor home guanyi aquella nit. Com a fan, Estic emocionat. No puc esperar el 10 de desembre. Per favor, satisfer, Fes -ho al centre de Galen. Per $35.00 Podeu veure dues de les millors baralles de l'any en una nit al Galen Center. O si no ho podeu fer allà. A continuació, assegureu -vos d’enviar la boxa del campionat Showtime a 10:00 Pm i / 7:00 am PT. Tinc ganes de veure -ho a tots durant la setmana de lluita. I moltes gràcies.
