Lee menekan aksi itu ketika dia melihat tembakan kuasa awal. Hernandez berperang dengan penuh permainan, tetapi Lee sesuai dengan tangan kanan dan kirinya.

 

 

 

Lee menunjukkan hati yang luar biasa, seperti dalam pusingan satu, dia mengalami patah tulang rusuk dan mengalami masalah bernafas sepanjang sepuluh pertarungan pusingan itu.

 

 

 

Hernandez dipotong dari kerja Lee, dan lulusan Notre Dame menjelajah pulang dengan kemenangan dengan skor sebanyak 97-93 pada semua kad hakim.

 

 

 

Dengan kemenangan itu, Lee tetap sempurna dengan catatan 21-0, dan sekarang akan berhadapan dengan mana-mana juara dunia sama ada dalam kelas kelas berat ringan atau kelas menengah super.

 

 

 

“Saya keluar menginginkan kalah mati,” kata Lee. “Saya memberi penghargaan kepada Jose, dia sukar. Saya sedikit teruja awal, dan saya sedikit ceroboh. Pada permulaan, Saya hanya membuang tembakan kuasa, Saya tidak melakukan dua kali ganda dan menggunakan kemampuan sukan saya. Setiap pertarungan adalah pengajaran pelajaran, dan malam ini saya terpaksa mengalahkan dan mendapatkan kemenangan.”

 

 

 

Dengan kemenangan itu, Lee kini akan berusaha untuk mencabar mana-mana juara dan nama besar di dalam kelas berat badannya.

 

 

 

“Mari pergi. Saya mahukan kejuaraan dunia. Sama ada di 168 paun atau 175 pound, Saya hanya menunggu panggilan telefon. Kami mahu melawan Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr., tapi saya tidak tahu apa yang berlaku dengan itu. Saya hanya mahukan seseorang yang mempunyai tali pinggang.”

Tompkins, yang telah hampir memanggil pergaduhan terbesar di dunia 40 tahun, telah melihat bahagian pejuangnya, tetapi tidak banyak dengan fleksibiliti seorang pejuang yang boleh bercakap dengan syarikat Amerika suatu hari nanti, dan bertanding di peringkat kejuaraan di gelanggang…. keesokan harinya.

 

 

 

“Pertarungan ini akan menjadi ujian kecil bagi Lee. Ini adalah sesuatu yang dia telah berusaha sekian lama, dan saya akan gembira melihat dia mendapat peluang seperti yang diinginkannya. Ini adalah peluang nyata untuk dia menunjukkan dirinya sebagai salah satu pejuang hebat di sekitar,” kata Tompkins.

Lee, yang memiliki ijazah kewangan dari Notre Dame, menghabiskan masa dan wang untuk anak-anak yang didiagnosis menghidap barah, jadi dia selalu berjuang untuk tujuan yang lebih tinggi

 

 

 

“Dia adalah lelaki yang sangat laku sama ada dia bertengkar atau tidak, dan itulah masalahnya. Dia berpeluang menjadi jurucakap sebenar, bukan sahaja untuk dirinya sendiri tetapi untuk sukan tinju secara umum. Dia adalah bahawa secara umum Dia benar-benar dapat memenuhi sebuah ruangan dan dia sangat baik dalam menangani semua lapisan masyarakat dan semua generasi orang. Saya tidak terlalu ramai yang dapat melakukannya. “Gula” Ray Leonard terlintas di fikiran yang boleh melakukan itu. Leonard mempunyai keperibadian yang sangat menggembirakan, dan Mike mempunyai banyak daripadanya. Dia adalah jurucakap sukan yang sangat baik.”

 

 

 

Dengan kemenangan pada malam Jumaat, Lee mungkin hanya bertengkar atau dua lagi kerana berjuang untuk kejuaraan dunia yang didambakan.

 

 

 

“Saya tahu itu adalah sesuatu yang dia nantikan. Saya menyokong dia mendapat peluang. Rekodnya mengatakan bahawa dia layak mendapat peluang.”

BROOKLYN (Julai 30, 2017) – Three-division world champion Mikey Garcia kept his undefeated record intact with a dominant 12-round performance against four-division world champion Adrien Broner sekiranya utama SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING, Saturday on SHOWTIME from Barclays Center, rumah BROOKLYN BOXING®.
In what could be considered one of the best performances of his career, Garcia (37-0, 30 Ini KO) won a unanimous decision by scores of 117-111 dan 116-112 dua kali.
“Kami dilatih untuk 10 minggu, we had a great training camp and great sparring, we knew it was going to be a tough fight,” Garcia said.
Garcia took the lead early on, showcasing fundamentally sound technique and backing Broner into the ropes midway through the second frame. A flurry of body shots put Broner in trouble in the second round. While Broner was able to stay on his feet, Garcia emerged with another round in his favor.
I think I controlled the fight in the early rounds and I kept the activity up,” Garcia said. “Broner is a great fighter and he has great skills but I was the superior fighter malam ini.”
Garcia showed a combination of jabs, power punches and body shots all night long. He cornered Broner on the ropes with a huge left hook halfway through the third frame, and backed him in to the ropes again with 39 seconds remaining in the round. While Broner showed some movement in the fourth round and hit Garcia with a succession of 1-2 combinations, Garcia’s bodywork kept Broner at bay.
It was part of the strategy to be a little busier in this fight than in the fights I have previously had,” Garcia said.
Broner (33-3, 24 KOs) looked to get back in the fight as he started the eighth round with a succession of sharp combinations, however his lack of consistency couldn’t withstand Garcia’s phenomenal body shots and overall punch output. Through eight rounds, Garcia had thrown a total of 500 tumbukan, while Broner had just thrown 291.
It was a good fight at the end of the day, I come to fight I come to win and I put my heart on the line,” Broner said. “But it was Tom & Jerry; I had to catch the mouse.
Although Garcia had amassed an early lead from the first three-quarters of the fight, Broner continued to walk through heavy fire from Garcia in an attempt to connect with a big punch and change the tide of the fight. While he was able to ignite the crowd and land several big punches over the final three rounds, none of it proved to be enough to slow down Garcia.
It was my timing, I’ve always said I have very good timing,” kata Garcia. “It is underestimated when you are outside the ring but once you get inside the ring with me, I’m a step ahead.
Tanpa ditewaskan Jermall Charlo (26-0, 20 KOs) made his debut at 160-pounds with a stoppage of Argentine contender Jorge Sebastian Heiland (29-5-2, 16 KOs) in the co-featured event of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING. Pemberhentian datang pada 2:13 of the fourth round after Charlo delivered a devastating left hook followed by a big right to end the fight.
Charlo, daripada Houston, Texas, dominated the pace from the beginning. He landed the sharper and more accurate punches throughout the fight, especially in the first round where he landed 50 percent of his power shots to Heiland’s 13 peratus. Charlo’s straight right was his power weapon throughout the contest.
I felt good at this weight. I was in good shape all camp,” kata Charlo. “I just had to keep my composure in the ring. That’s always something I have to work on and I was able to do it.
After I dropped him the first time they said he fell on top of his ankle. That’s just part of the boxing game. I had to just stay consistent and get the work done.
Heiland, Buenos Aires, Argentina, had issues with his left leg after injuring his knee in the first round. His discomfort was clear in his awkward footwork and lack of power behind his punches. Referee Benjy Esteves had the doctor examine him twice throughout the fight, once before the third round and then again before the fourth.
I turned my left knee in the first round, but I did not want to give up,” said Heiland. “Saya cuba untuk memberikan saya semua, but it was not my night. I had bad luck but I am going to work harder than ever to get back and get another opportunity to achieve my dream and win a world title.
Charlo stayed focused on his game plan despite seeing his opponent injured. “Sometimes the injury can be a decoy, you never want to just jump in and think it’s part of his game plan,” Charlo said. “My coach told me to stay behind my jab like I did; continue to work and it’s going to come.
With this win, Charlo becomes a mandatory challenger for the WBC Middleweight World Championship.
I’m ready for anyone. I’m ready for whoever wants to fight me,” Charlo added. “Bring on the biggest names at 160. I’m the real Tommy Hearns. I feel it’s my turn and I’m going to go get it.
Headlining theSHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING Prelims,” heavyweight Jarrell Miller (19-0-1, 17 KOs), Brooklyn, N.Y., stopped former world title challenger Gerald Washington (18-2-1, 12 KOs) after eight-rounds.
Miller used his significant size advantage and effective power-punching to break down the former collegiate football player. Washington had some success early with his jab and body attack, but was not able to stay out of punching range of Miller
Washington surged in the sixth round with a series of power shots that staggered Miller, however the Brooklynite countered and further broke down Washington, who landed just 20% of his jabs overall.
Miller, who landed almost half of his power punches, continued the onslaught in the seventh and eight rounds, and while Washington was able to stay on his feet, he took enough punishment that his corner called the fight after the eighth round.
I definitely felt the ring rust,” said Miller, who was making his third appearance on SHOWTIME. “Gerald was very tough. It was a very good fight that had me thinking. My power was there, but I couldn’t put it together the way I wanted to today.
I took the hard way back coming in off of a layoff. Gerald definitely pushed me and motivated me. I had to rely on my brain and my power.
I knew there would be a give and take in this fight. It’s one thing to fight when you have stamina, it’s another to fight when you’re tired. I was trying to outthink him.
Dalam pertarungan pembukaan “SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING Prelimson Facebook Live, Irish sensation Katie Taylor (6-0, 4 KOs) berhenti Jasmine Clarkson (4-9) after three rounds of action in the latter fighter’s U.S. debut.
The Olympic Gold medalist was dominant from the outset, stalking her opponent around the ring and consistently trapping her in the corner. Taylor was effective with both hands and did most of her work to the head of Clarkson. After three rounds of damage, Clarkson’s corner stopped the bout and gave Taylor her first stateside win as a pro.
It was a fantastic experience being my first time competing here in the U.S,” kata Taylor. “There were definitely some nerves before the fight. It was great to go in there and get a stoppage.
I hope that I made some fans malam ini. I loved hearing the Irish fans in the crowd. I hope that there will be even more next time I fight here. The more fights I have here in the U.S. yang lebih baik.
I thought I performed pretty well. I definitely got caught with a few silly shots. I could have been cleaner but overall it was a good performance. I felt good and strong. I’ll be ready to get back in there as soon as possible.
Additional action saw former world champion Rau'shee Warren (15-2, 4 KOs) earn a unanimous decision victory over former champion McJoe Arroyo (17-2, 8 KOs) and became the mandatory challenger for the IBF Junior Bantamweight World Title.
Warren attacked the body throughout the bout and landed the cleaner, more effective punches over the 12-round contest. The judges concurred and gave him the decision by scores of 118-10 dan 117-111 dua kali.
I would give myself a B+ for that performance,” said Warren. “I wanted to make sure to use my jab and I felt like it really helped me win the fight.
I feel really good at this weight. Now it’s time for me to go get a strap. I haven’t been at this weight since the Olympics. I want to get these titles and then go down to 112 pounds for another title. First I want to take care of Jerwin Ancajas.
Sabtu fights will replay on Sunday, Julai 30 di 8:35 WIB. ET on SHOWTIME and on Isnin, Julai 31 di 10:30 petang. DAN/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME on DEMAND® dan Showtime ANYTIME®.

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday from Dream Hotel Downtown:

Adrien BRONER

“Just know that I’ll be ready pada hari Sabtu malam. I’m not worried about how much he’ll weigh when we step into the ring. I’m ready for anything.

“Camp was tough, but it was great. I did a lot of things differently and made sure that I was doing everything right. I made sure not to cut any corners this camp.

“This is going to be a great fight for boxing. I’ve done my due diligence. I’m going to take care of business. I just know myself and know what I’m capable of.

“Every fight is a must-win in this sport. There’s no fight you go into with a loss on your mind. I’m going to put on a show pada hari Sabtu.

“I laugh when people write me off. I’m used to being the underdog coming from where I come from. People don’t know what I’ve been through to get to this point. I’m blessed to be where I’m at. Sabtu night there will be a lot more room on the bandwagon.

“We’ll see who’s on the pound-for-pound list after Sabtu malam. We could have fought years ago but the time is now and I’m ready.

“I’m glad that the Garcia team took this fight as quickly as we did. I’ve been taking everything seriously in Colorado. I know Mikey will be ready too. Robert Garcia definitely has some confidence from beating me with Marcos Maidana. But Mikey is not Maidana.

“I just don’t feel like Mikey will be able to do anything to stop me from getting the victory. I’m sure he’s confident too. After I make it look easy, I want everyone to write about it and say something good.

“I can make anybody quit in the ring. Mikey is no different. If I execute and stay focused, don’t be surprised. Saya bersedia untuk perjuangan ini.

"Sabtu is going to be a special day for me. My birthday is esok. I’m almost 30. I want to dedicate this victory to my twin brother Andre. Seeing his smile will make it even more special for me.”

Mikey GARCIA

“I’m prepared to go 12 hard rounds with Adrien Broner. This is a high profile fight. Probably more than my other fights. It’s created a lot of buzz amongst fans and media. Everyone is anticipating a great fight. This is a great matchup that can take me to the next level.

“I don’t think that he’s going to be desperate but he knows that I’m not an easy opponent. That’s why he’s taken camp so seriously. I expect him to be at his best and be ready. He knows that if he beats me he can launch his career back to where it was.

“He’s a four-division world champion so clearly he has the skills. I need someone who is hungry and motivated to bring out the best in me. My main focus is getting the win by any means necessary.

“I’m going to lo look to box effectively and show that I’m the better fighter. We’re both smart fighters but neither of us will run from the other. When you have styles like ourselves, with two guys who like to exchange punches, you’re in for a great battle.

“I think Adrien will be fine with the weight. He’s a pro and he knows that he really has to make weight. He’s learned from his mistakes. Sometimes he jokes around but that’s just part of his character. He takes things a lot more seriously because he’s facing me.

“If I can get this win, I just want to keep moving forward and fulfilling my dreams. I want to be in huge fights consistently. This is a crossroads fight for both of us to get to that level.

“I’m very excited to be here. Brooklyn was very kind to me when I fought here last year. I expect the fans to be here and show up like they always do pada hari Sabtu. There are incredible boxing fans in New York.

“I’m here to prove that I’m back and stronger than ever. This is another opportunity to show the kind of fighter that I am. I won’t let Adrien Broner stand in my way. This is my chance to show the best version of myself.”

Charlo JERMALL

“I feel great and ready to make my debut at 160 pound. Camp has gone smoothly. I’m ready to dominate this division like I did 154 pound. My plan is to care of Heiland and then everything else will fall into line from there.

“This is a bigger, better and stronger version of Jermall Charlo. Everything has come together during camp. Ronnie Shields runs a great camp and I believe he’s continuing to bring the best out of me.

“I’m completely focused on this matchup. I know that I can’t get any of the big fights that I crave without taking care of Heiland. I’m going to break him down and if the knockout comes, I’ll make sure to take advantage.

“My hat is off to Adrien Broner and Mikey Garcia for bringing out all the fans and media for this great show. It’s a real thrill to be a part of this event.”

JORGE SEBASTIAN HEILAND

“I’m thankful to everyone who has welcomed me to New York. I’m happy to have this big opportunity and I’m 100 percent prepared for whatever Jermall Charlo brings. Jermall is a great fighter and I know that he is going to bring everything he has.

“I’ve had an amazing camp and I’ve never felt more prepared for an opportunity than this. I was very patient and I will take full advantage. My plan is to leave everything in the ring pada hari Sabtu.

“My team has been with me for a long time as I waited for this opportunity. Be ready because it’s going to be a battle and a great matchup pada hari Sabtu. You won’t want to miss it.”

Gerald Washington

“I came here to go to work. I’m going to shut that big mouth of his up. I hope someone is holding him accountable for all the words he’s been saying. You’re in there with a real one pada hari Sabtu malam. I’m going to welcome you to this game for real.

“I’m sure he’ll try to bring some extra pressure. I’m going to introduce him to a new class of boxing. I’ve taken a lot from my experiences in training camp with Wladimir Klitschko and in the ring with Deontay Wilder. You’ll see the difference pada hari Sabtu.

“I’m still growing in this sport. I’ve been learning on the job this whole time and each experience just means so much to me. I wanted to take on a tough undefeated fighter because I knew that it would make it a great fight.

“This is most definitely ending inside of the distance. I’m coming after him. I’m going to wear him out. Then it’s time to take him out.”

JARRELL MILLER

“If you don’t know who “Big Baby” is, you soon will. I’ve never seen anyone get knocked out and get praised for it, but that’s what people are doing for Washington. I’ve never been hurt in my life in the ring and I’ll prove it pada hari Sabtu.

“This guy said he’s going to introduce me to big-time boxing. I’ve been in front of huge crowds and I’ve come through with knockout wins. I’ll be more than ready pada hari Sabtu malam.

“I’ve got big plans in this sport and this is only the start. Brooklyn fans loved their hometown heavyweights Mike Tyson and Riddick Bowe. I’m going to be next in that line and this city will love me.”

KATIE TAYLOR

“It’s incredible to be here in New York and to make my US debut on this incredible card. It’s truly a privilege.

“Training has gone so well and I’m so happy that SHOWTIME will stream the fight. It’s incredible for my fans overseas and all fans of women’s boxing.

“I hope to make a strong statement this weekend and I hope everyone enjoys the fight pada hari Sabtu malam. "

LEONARD ELLERBE, Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Mayweather Promosi

“This is definitely a must-see event pada hari Sabtu malam. Two great fighters, fighting at the right time, both in the prime of their careers. Ia akan menjadi persembahan yang hebat.

“One of the main reasons why boxing is going to the next level is because the people at the top have a vision of seeing great fights. We have another great example of that Sabtu ini malam di Barclays Pusat

“Anytime you have a great event, it’s going to start with the undercard. We have a lot of young fighters looking to show off their skills. We’re thrilled to have our very own Richardson Hitchins and Kenny Robles competing in exciting undercard action.”

LOU DIBELLA, Presiden DiBella Hiburan

“A month from now there will be a huge event in Las Vegas, tetapi two days from now there is the best fight card of the summer, the best fight of the summer, and a great show from top to bottom at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

“This is a great summer of boxing for SHOWTIME and it’s great to be in this room and see all the great attention that this fight card is getting. This is one of the best representations that we can have of our sport. This is one of the most stacked cards I’ve ever been involved with.

“There are a lot of good reasons to get a ticket and come to Barclays Center pada hari Sabtu malam. There will be a strong Irish presence on the card Sabtu with both Katie Taylor and Noel Murphy entering the ring.”

STEPHEN Espinoza, VP Eksekutif & Pengurus Besar, Showtime Sukan

"Sabtu is a testament to SHOWTIME’s commitment to boxing and boxing fans. We’ve worked hard to deliver the most important bouts from around the world. We have three separate telecasts, five fights, across two continents.

“We will also be streaming Katie Taylor’s U.S. debut. People know Katie from reputation alone, and we thought it was important to have her fight seen. The heavyweight fight between Gerald Washington and Jarrell Miller is another one that deserves to be seen and I think it could be the fight that steals the show.

“The main event has two of the brightest young stars in boxing. They both feel like they’ve been on this stage for a while. You know their resumes and you have to give them all of the credit in the world for taking this fight. Neither had to take this fight, but it will be one of the most exciting matchups of the summer.

“We have had 19 live presentations and 15 world title fights so far and we’re proud of what we’ve done accomplished so far. Boxing has had a great year and much of that has been carried by SHOWTIME boxing. That will continue Sabtu ini."

Brett YORMARK, Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Brooklyn Sports & Hiburan

“This card is our fourth major card this year. It’s been an incredible year for BROOKLYN BOXING. We’ve made a commitment to bring the best boxing to the borough. With all of our partners help, we have been able to accomplish that.

“We welcome both of these fighters back to Brooklyn. They’ve both built fan bases and we’re excited to see both of them back in the building and in the ring pada hari Sabtu.

“The whole night of boxing is going to be incredible. I welcome Jermall Charlo to Brooklyn, your brother had a great night in April and I’m sure you will follow in his footsteps.”

"Saya tahu saya mempunyai dia dari pusingan pertama. Sudut saya menenangkan saya dan menyuruh saya meluangkan masa saya.”

Nicholson, yang kebanyakannya bersaing di 160 pound, tidak bersetuju dengan keputusan hakim.

"Saya tidak akan membuat sebarang alasan. Dia memenangi pertarungan,"Kata Nicholson. "Itulah yang dilihat para hakim, Tetapi saya tidak bersetuju. Dia menyakiti saya dalam pusingan pertama.

QUOTES AKHIR:

 

Regis Prograis

"Orang yang memenangi perjuangan ini naik, mudah -mudahan, ke pertarungan tajuk. Saya 19-0, dia 23-0. Saya rasa seperti ini adalah perjuangan besar yang sebenar.

 

"Saya memandang serius semua lawan, Tetapi saya mengambil ini lebih serius daripada yang lain pada masa lalu. Dia 23-0, Dan ada sebab dia tidak terkalahkan. Dia baik, Dan dia mempunyai rekod terbaik yang pernah saya hadapi.

 

"Saya berada di pentas dalam kerjaya saya di mana setiap pertarungan boleh membawa kepada perkara besar yang akan datang dan saya fikir perjuangan ini mungkin untuk saya. Saya bersabar, Tetapi saya bersedia untuk lebih banyak. Saya mahukan tembakan pada tajuk.

 

"Dia seorang pejuang brawler, Tetapi saya mempunyai kuasa menumbuk yang lebih baik, dan kelajuan.

 

"Sekiranya saya rasa dia [Diaz] Tidak boleh menyakiti saya dari pusingan pertama, Saya mungkin akan berjalan dia sepanjang malam dan menghukumnya.

 

"Melihat apa [Errol] Spence memotivasi saya, Terutama cara dia melakukannya di kampung halaman lawannya. Ia membuat saya berfikir: itu boleh menjadi saya suatu hari nanti. Kami pergi ke sana di amatur, Jadi saya tahu betapa baiknya dia, Tetapi saya juga baik. Hanya melihat dia pergi ke sana dan mengambil gelaran itu, Saya tahu masa saya akan datang seterusnya.

 

"Saya membesar menonton macho camacho, Roberto Duran, Mike Tyson, Tetapi saya melihat lebih banyak Duran daripada apa -apa. Saya sangat menyukai gayanya. Saya banyak belajar menonton tinju hebat di pita.

 

"Terence Crawford, Adrien Broner, Victor Postol. Itulah jenis lelaki yang ingin saya perjuangkan.

 

"Saya mula tinju di New Orleans, Dan jika bukan untuk Katrina, Saya mungkin tidak akan berada di tempat saya sekarang. Semasa saya berpindah ke Houston, Saya masuk ke tempat kejadian tinju dan mula mengambilnya dengan serius. Itu adalah keadaan yang mengerikan [di New Orleans], Tetapi ia mengubah hidup saya.

 

"Keluarga saya kembali [ke New Orleans], Tetapi bukan saya. Saya tinggal di Houston ke kotak. Saya rasa ia bukan masa untuk saya pulang ke rumah. Saya akan kembali apabila saya menjadi superstar, Seperti yang saya sepatutnya. "

 

Joel Diaz Jr..

"Ini adalah peluang saya, Ini adalah peluang saya. Saya telah diberitahu, 'Anda hanya mendapat satu peluang', Dan ini untuk saya. Saya tahu regis bagus, Tetapi kita akan meletakkannya di atasnya. Saya akan berada di atasnya seperti lalat di kotoran. Ini adalah salah satu peluang yang saya tidak dapat melepaskan.

 

"Kami akan memecatnya secara mental, Cari jalan kami, dan menjatuhkan bom.

 

"Dia melemparkan kombo, Dan itulah yang harus saya ambil dari dia. Saya mesti berada di atasnya dan menjadi yang pertama menyerang. Kuasa saya akan menjaga kelajuannya.

 

"Ini sangat bermakna bagi saya, Mendapat menunjukkan dunia siapa 'rahsia'. Orang tidak pernah melihat apa yang saya ada, Tetapi tidak akan ada lagi rahsia selepas itu esok.

 

"Saya akan menunjukkan kepada dunia siapa Joel Diaz sebenar. Saya sekarang mempunyai berat badan yang betul untuk saya dan saya 110 peratus. Saya tidak membuang empat minggu kem latihan yang cuba menurunkan berat badan. Saya rasa yang kukuh.

 

"Kejohanan Dunia selepas pertarungan ini, itulah yang saya mahu. Ini adalah peluang saya untuk menunjukkan siapa saya dan saya tidak boleh membiarkannya pergi. Sekiranya saya membiarkannya pergi, Saya mungkin juga kembali ke sekolah. Ini akan membuka semua pintu untuk saya.

 

"Kami sudah bersedia untuk langkah ini untuk sementara waktu. Saya ingin melawan pemenang [Adrien] Broner- [Mikey] Garcia, tetapi kita akan melihat. Saya tahu broner tidak mahu melawan saya. Saya cuba melawannya dan dia menolaknya. Dia tahu saya akan memberinya masalah.

 

"Saya menukar jurulatih. Dulu saya bersama Abel Ramos, Sekarang saya bersama Chris Byrd. Dengan jurulatih Chris, Lebih banyak pertahanan daripada kesalahan. Bekerja dengan Chris sangat mengagumkan. Dia seorang pejuang, Jadi dia tahu apa yang diperlukan untuk melangkah ke cincin itu. Dia berada di sana, Jadi dia memahami saya dari perspektif pejuang dan itu sangat penting bagi saya. Ikatan yang kita ada di dalam dan di luar cincin itu istimewa.

 

"Anda akan melihat Joel Diaz yang lebih aktif dan Joel Diaz yang lebih bertahan. Saya akan menunjukkan dunia yang Joel Diaz berada di 140 Dan percayalah, Mereka akan meminta lebih banyak selepas mereka melihatnya. "

 

Steve Rolls

"Perjuangan terakhir saya ShoBox [terhadap Steed Woodall pada bulan Disember 2015] adalah pengalaman pembelajaran. Saya ditebang di tempat ketiga, Tetapi saya pulih. Anda tidak pernah tahu bagaimana anda akan bertindak balas dalam menghadapi kesukaran sehingga anda dimasukkan ke dalam kedudukan itu. Saya gembira kerana berlaku awal dalam kerjaya saya. Ia banyak mengajar saya.

 

"Saya tahu saya 33, Tetapi saya berasa lebih baik daripada ketika saya masih muda. Saya menjaga diri saya. Saya mempunyai gaya hidup yang bersih. Umur bukanlah perkara bagi saya.

 

"Nicholson mempunyai jab yang baik. Saya pernah melihatnya bertarung sebelum ini. Saya tidak pasti jika dia membuat penyesuaian atau jika dia datang dengan rancangan permainan yang berbeza. Saya bersedia untuk apa sahaja yang dia membawa.

 

"Dari apa yang saya lihat, dia boleh melawan. Dia tahu apa yang dia lakukan di sana dan ia kelihatan seperti dia mempunyai pengalaman. "

 

Demond Nicholson

"Lelaki ini [Rolls] tidak berpengalaman seperti saya. Saya adalah langkah besar untuknya.

 

"Perjuangan terakhir saya [Terhadap Imanuwel Aleem] adalah langkah besar, dan saya berjuang dengan majoriti. Ia adalah permulaan yang perlahan, Tetapi saya seorang pejuang, dan saya bersenjata melalui. Pertarungan itu benar -benar membuka mata saya untuk lebih baik kerjaya saya, masa depan saya.

 

"Lihatlah apa yang dilakukan oleh Aleem sejak kita berjuang. Dia mengetuk lelaki yang tidak terkalahkan [Ievgen Khytrov] Tidak ada yang mahu menghadapi.

 

"Pengalaman saya akan membawa kita ke atas bonggol terhadap lelaki ini. Dia mempunyai tangan kanan yang berbahaya, Tetapi saya akan mengambilnya dari dia.

 

"Saya peninju semula jadi, Tetapi orang memanggil saya seorang penentang selepas persembahan saya dengan Aleem dan itu bukan siapa saya. Tetapi saya mendapatkannya - saya tidak kotak sama sekali dalam perjuangan itu. Itulah sebabnya saya terpaksa kembali ke papan lukisan.

 

"Saya banyak belajar latihan di Bangers Ketua di Washington, D.C. dengan Barry Hunter, Lamont Peterson dan semua lelaki itu. Saya telah belajar dari Lamont, dari Adrien Broner, dari Austin Trout. Mereka bersuara dengan pejuang teratas dan itulah sebabnya mereka tampil di peringkat tertinggi - kerana mereka telah sparred dengan yang terbaik. Jadi saya melakukan perkara yang sama. "

 

"Saya mempunyai satu kerugian, Dan itu banyak mengajar saya. Saya terpaksa kalah 15 pound dalam tiga hari untuk perjuangan itu dan itu menundukkan saya. Tidak ada masalah yang membuat berat badan untuk perjuangan ini. "

 

Jon Fernandez

"Ini perjuangan kedua saya dengan jurulatih baru saya Tinin Rodriguez. Saya selalu berusaha untuk menjadi lebih baik dan mengubah pelatih nampaknya menjadi jalan terbaik bagi saya. Dia membantu saya melengkapkan asas tinju.

 

"Saya tahu saya tinggi untuk kelas berat saya, tapi saya rasa ok. Saya rasa 130 Adakah berat badan saya yang ideal, Tetapi saya mungkin naik berat badan pada masa akan datang. Kami akan melihat. Saya masih muda dan saya mempunyai kerjaya yang panjang di hadapan saya.

 

"Saya biasa menonton pita maravilla ketika saya dewasa. Dia memberi inspirasi kepada saya untuk menjadi serius mengenai tinju. Dia begitu baik. Adalah kehormatan untuk bekerja dengannya. Saya banyak menghormati dia. "

Juan Reyes

"Saya tidak bertempur dengan sesiapa yang tinggi, Tetapi saya mempunyai rancangan permainan yang bagus. Saya tahu dia puncher volume, Tetapi itu hanya akan membuat saya teruja. Ia akan mengepam adrenalin saya.

 

"Saya teruja bahawa saya berjuang di TV dan pada hujung minggu istimewa seperti itu, itu dewan kemasyhuran tinju. Ini adalah impian yang menjadi kenyataan. Sekiranya saya mengalahkan lelaki ini, ia boleh mengubah hidup saya. "

 

Sergio Martinez-Jon Fernandez Co-Promoter

"Jon adalah pemikir. Dia tahu bila hendak menyerang dan bila hendak mempertahankan dirinya. Dia benar -benar berbakat.

 

"Ada yang boleh membuat perbandingannya dengan Paul Williams, Tetapi saya berjuang Williams dua kali dan izinkan saya memberitahu anda bahawa mereka tidak sama. Paul adalah jenis pejuang yang akan masuk ke gelanggang dan pergi dari yang pertama, kepada yang kedua, ke gear ketiga tanpa berfikir. Jonfer akan membaca anda, akan pergi ke apa sahaja gear yang dia perlukan untuk mengalahkan lawannya. Dia mempunyai IQ tinju yang sangat tinggi. "

Chris Byrd - Jurulatih Diaz

"Joel adalah mesin yang agresif, Oleh itu, tumpuan utama saya adalah untuk membangunkan pertahanannya. Dia seorang peninju berbakat, Tetapi agresifnya kadang -kadang membuka lubang dalam pertahanannya. Di kem latihan ini, Kami mengusahakannya. Kami mempunyai strategi yang baik.

 

"Dia sudah tahu bagaimana berjuang, Tetapi anda hanya perlu menolaknya sedikit pada pertahanan. Dia masih agresif seperti biasa, Tetapi dia perlu memikirkan apa yang akan datang kepadanya.

 

"Perkara utama saya adalah kehidupan selepas tinju. Saya mempunyai dua saudara lelaki yang merosakkan tinju. Itulah sebabnya saya memberi tumpuan kepada pertahanan. Dia mempunyai gaya yang agresif, Tetapi dia juga mempunyai bakat, Koordinasi kaki dan mata yang baik. Dia akan terus melakukan perkara yang hebat.

 

"Anda akan melihat sesuatu yang istimewa. Regis baik, Saya memberinya alat peraga, Tetapi anda akan melihat sesuatu yang istimewa dari Joel. Dan perjuangan yang hebat. "
