Hier is wat die vegters moes Woensdag sê:

KEITH THURMAN

“We’re back in Brooklyn, it’s been a long time and I’m happy. I feel slim and trim. Everything is great headed into Saturday.

“I had a lot of ups and downs, but once we got into camp, we did what we had to do. We slowly improved each day and now we’re ready. It was a slow start, but we’re going to be finishing strong on Saturday.

“When I’m outside of the ring, I’m not the jealous type watching other people perform. But I feel better when I’m here living out my dream. These past weeks, I have just felt so good. I feel fantastic and ready to perform. I’m going to be an active fighter and one of the best welterweights in the world today.

“My ranking, my ‘0’ and my accomplishments haven’t gone anywhere. I’ve been out of sight and out of mind for a little, maar ek is nou weer terug. You can’t block a star from shining. We’re in the galaxy and shining bright.

“I’m definitely interested in a big unification fight with Errol Spence Jr. When I first met Errol at MGM Grand years ago, I told him that it’s nice to meet him and I can’t wait to get in there and scrap it out. I’m humble, but I’m also honest. I’m a man of my word. It doesn’t matter how many years ago that I said it, but from that day to this day, it’s a true statement.”

JOSESITO LOPEZ

“I’m confident in my abilities. Talk is cheap to me. What other people say makes no difference to me. I’ve come here to do a job and I’m going to do it.

“I know that I have a tough task ahead of me, but I also know that I can do it. I can pass this test. I’m ready for it. We’ve prepared right and everything is lined up. We worked hard for 10 weeks and now it’s time.

“It’s hard to say if Keith will be my toughest opponent, but he definitely has a great resume and is a great champion. I’ve fought some great guys but I’m taking this as the most important fight of my career.

“I think that since I started working with Robert Garcia, all of my skills are on par with Keith Thurman. Die belangrikste, I’m a much smarter fighter than I’ve ever been. I’m always going to be courageous in the ring, but we’ve developed a game plan where I take less unnecessary risks.

“The most important thing in my game plan is for me to dictate the pace. I need to control the ring throughout the fight. I’m prepared for however he brings the fight.”

ADAM Kownacka

“It’s going to be a sea of red and white on Saturday. The Polish fans are unbelievable and I can’t wait to go out there and get a knockout for them.

“I think I’ve improved my speed heading into this fight. Ek voel 'n groot. It’s been a long camp leading up to this huge card. I have to come out at my top condition. I made a slight statement against Charles Martin, and I’m going to make a bigger one against Gerald Washington.

“I definitely want to outdo the performances of Deontay Wilder and my friend Jarrell Miller against Washington. I want to have bragging rights. I want that knockout.

“Washington has fought contenders, good fighters and a guy I lost to in the amateurs in Nagy Aguilera. He’s proven that he’s game, and I’m expecting the best version of him. I’ll be ready.

“Boxing is a skill, not a bodybuilding contest. I proved my conditioning last fight by throwing 70 stoot 'n ronde. I’m in ever better shape right and I feel great.”

GERALD WASHINGTON

“We know where we want to be and we know this is a stepping stone to getting back there. I have to take the hard road and this is it. We’re prepared, we’re ready and I’m looking forward to January 26.

“Any of the top heavyweights would be great to fight, maar ek neem dit een geveg op 'n slag. This is going to be an action-packed fight.

“I have the total package. We’ll see everything I learned from my last fights and see if it makes a difference now.

“I know that Kownacki is going to come forward. I know what kind of fighter he is. I didn’t come here to lose. I came here to win and get back on the right track and into contention to win the heavyweight title.

“Styles make fights. I was doing very well in the Deontay Wilder fight, similar to what Tyson Fury was doing. This is a different type of fight. You’re going to see my skills come to life to contain this man.”

CLAUDIO MARRERO

“We went through a very serious, 10-week camp because we know that we’re here to fight a very strong fighter. I’ve taken everything to the fullest each day with intense work in training camp. Ek is gereed.

“We respect our opponent, but he’s coming to our weight division. I’ve been making this weight ever since I was a pro. In sy laaste stryd, he was dropped by Oscar Escandon, who’s a very good fighter, but he’s a smaller guy.

“We believe that this is the beginning of something beautiful. I’m going to be at the top of the rankings after this fight. We believe that winning this fight is going to take us back to the top level.

“I understand that this is my time to shine. I’m more focused and dedicated than I’ve ever been and it’s going to show in the ring on Saturday night.”

TUGSTSOGT NYAMBAYAR

“I feel good and strong. I’ve had a great camp and I’m ready for Saturday night. I’m going to give a great show for the fans in my Brooklyn debut.

“I put everything into camp and I’m going to show it in the ring on Saturday night. I’m here to win and show off my athleticism. I believe I can do everything in the ring.

“Claudio Marrero is a good tough contender who’s been at this level for quite some time. He’s a good boxer who can punch, so we prepared for everything. He may have more pro experience, but I believe I have more boxing experience than Marrero. I’ve seen everything throughout the world.

“Now it’s just a matter of cultivating my skills and experience into becoming a world championship fighter. In this fight, I’m going to dictate the style of the fight. It’s going to go down on my terms.”

CHRIS COLBERT

“I’m going to go out there and dominate like I always do. I don’t have any resolutions for 2019. I’m just going to do the same thing and keep being great.

“New year, same me. I’m out here chasing greatness. I’m looking to keep winning and work my way to a world title. I’m not just talk, I’m the real deal.

“I don’t believe that you can be rushed into a world title fight. Ek is gereed. I don’t care if I’m considered a prospect for a contender, I’m just going to show everyone that I’m no fluke. I do this differently.

“I always fight for a cause and this time I’ve got my hair dyed pink for breast cancer awareness. It’s for my mom and all of the other survivors and people going through this.”

Thurman will return to action on January 26 from a long injury layoff after his most recent fight saw him unify welterweight titles by defeating Danny Garcia in March 2017 by Barclays Center. Here is what Thurman had to say about his return, Josesito Lopez and more from his training camp at the St. Pete Boxing Club in St. Petersburg, Florida:

How has training camp been going? Have there been any adjustments because of the injury?

“Training camp has been going well. It was a little bit of a slow start after so many months out of the ring, but I’m feeling great as we get closer to the fight. I’m starting to feel more and more like a world-class athlete again. It’s a good feeling working this hard and it reminds me what it’ll take to continue being the champion.”

Do you anticipate any ring rust? Do you think it will be more difficult to feel like yourself physically in the ring, or mentally trusting the injury is healed?

“I don’t think ring rust will be an issue. The only thing that even if this may not be the best Keith Thurman that people have ever seen, we’re focused on getting better and much stronger with each fight. But make no mistake, people will see one of the best welterweights in the world on January 26 at Barclays Center.”

When did you start to feel like you were turning the corner physically? Were you ever worried you wouldn’t be healthy enough to fight?

“You always have to be a little worried about new injuries. There’s nothing wrong with your car until the day it decides to break down. So at the end of the day, it’s always in the back of my mind. I run a lot of miles, so I wonder about my knees. I wonder about my shoulders also. Athletes and their bodies go through a lot of things. But here I go getting right back into things and I’m totally ready to showcase my talents on January 26.”

What kind of challenges does Josesito pose? What makes him a difficult opponent for you coming off a layoff?

“Josesito is experienced. He’s a busy fighter with good reach. He likes to mix it up and force his opponents to fight. He also has a new coach in Robert Garcia now, and I know he has a lot of confidence in his abilities. Josesito has been through ups and downs in his career, but he’s back on an upswing at the moment. Then he pinpointed me and called me out. So I’m looking forward to the challenge.”

What are you looking to show in this fight? How do you control your emotions and make sure you don’t press too much?

“I’m going to show my versatility in the ring. I’m going to show Josesito what it’s like to be in the ring with me. He might think it’s just all about my power, but I’ll show him what none of his sparring partners could. I’m going to show everyone the full package of skills I bring and enjoy every second of it.”

How do you see this fight looking stylistically?

“I like to let my opponent show me how the fight is going to go. I’ve thought many times that my opponents would do something specific, but then they do something totally different in the moment.

“I’m just prepared for any version of Josesito. I’m ready for him to come at me with punches in bunches, but I’m also ready if he wants to try box more and work behind his jab. I don’t think there’s anything that he’s going to do that I won’t be able to dominate. I’m going to move, trade on the inside, whatever it takes and we’ll see which road to victory looks the easiest.”

Here is what the fighters had to say Saturday before going face-to-face in the Barclays Center interview room, prior to the PBC on FOX fight night in Brooklyn:

KEITH THURMAN “I feel great physically. We’re working really hard and just getting back into everything we did before the injury. It feels tremendous and I’m so happy to be able to do this back in Brooklyn. Januarie 26, you will see the return of the number one welterweight in the world. I need to come back and stay active and healthy. I’m going to remind everyone this year why I’m one of the baddest men on the planet. Aan die einde van die dag, I’m here to make a statement that ‘One Time’ is terug. I have one belt, and I’m missing one belt. I’m going to re-establish my own accomplishments this year, then go from there. We’re taking it one fight at a time. Right now my eyes are set on Josesito Lopez.”

“I’m a world-class fighter. I’ve fought through injuries my whole career. A real fighter ends up getting addicted to the game. There’s nothing better in this life than being under those lights and being part of the action. My legacy is not over. Unification against Danny Garcia was not enough for me. Uiteindelik, I’m just waiting to be presented with a man who is better than me. There might not be one, but I’m not afraid to let my ‘0’ go. “I need fights like this against a guy like Josesito Lopez. He’s going to be there and give the fans a great fight. He’s coming to take me out. He looked like he was in shape a month ago when I first saw him. “It’s been a long time and I’m truly honored to be back. It’s been hard for me to not be in the ring while I wait for the elbow to recover. I’m so happy to be back.”

JOSESITO LOPEZ “I’m really excited to be here tonight. Keith Thurman is a world-class, elite fighter and I’m going to make the most of this opportunity. I’ve been in this position before and I’ve never shied away from big battles. This is another big one and I’m going to be ready for it and become world champion.”

“I’m sure Keith Thurman is as strong and skilled as anyone I’ve ever faced. He’s undefeated for a reason. I give him his respect for that. I’m preparing for him to be the best fighter I’ve ever faced. We’re both experienced fighters who have fought world class competition. I’ve faced my share of tough heavy punchers. I’ve pretty much seen it all. Come January 26, we’re going into deep waters and we’ll see how each of us reacts.”

“No matter how active Thurman has been, the importance of this opportunity doesn’t change. If anything we might see a better and healthier Keith Thurman than we’ve seen in years. I’m expecting the best Keith Thurman there is. I’m going in against one of the toughest welterweights out there. I don’t need anyone to believe in me but myself. I’m going to give it my all to come out with that title.”

ADAM Kownacka “Januarie 26 is going to be a great night. Elke keer as ek veg, it’s very exciting. I throw a lot of punches and bring the pressure. Gerald Washington is going to be a tough test, but if I get through him, I’m even closer to a title shot. That’s the ultimate goal.”

“It’s a little bit of a fairytale story. I was just a little kid from Brooklyn wearing the Golden Gloves and now I’m fighting at Barclays Center. It’s a whole new environment. Hopefully next year I’m the main event. That’s the goal and it’s going to be a dream come true. I have to keep working hard to achieve it.”

“I think when I fought Iago Kiladze, he was also a runner who could box. I managed the ring very well with him so I’m looking to do the same with Washington and punish the body. The taller they are the harder they fall. Gerald Washington is a tough exam. He’s a former title challenger and I know he’s going to bringing his A-game. My goal is to become the heavyweight champion of the world and in order to do that I have to get by Washington. That’s what I plan on doing.”

BROOKLYN (Desember 18, 2018) – Undefeated WBA Welterweight World Champion Keith “One Time” Thurman returns to the ring after a lengthy injury layoff to defend his title against veteran Josesito Lopez Saterdag, Januarie 26 live in primetime in the main event o Premier Boxing Champions on FOX and FOX Deportes from Barclays Center, die huis van BROOKLYN boks ™.

Televisie dekking begin by 8 namiddag. ET / 5 pm. PT and will see a co-feature featuring fast-rising unbeaten Polish heavyweight contender Adam Kownacki as he clashes with former title challenger Gerald Washington in a 10-round battle and unbeaten featherweight contender Tugstgogt Nyambayar gevegte Claudio Marrero to open the telecast.

Tickets for the show begin at $50 en kan gekoop word by ticketmaster.com, barclayscenter.com,of deur te bel 800-745-3000. Tickets can also be purchased at the American Express Box Office at Barclays Center. Groep afslag is beskikbaar deur te bel 844-afrit vir Brooklyn-GP.

“There is a high level of anticipation and intrigue surrounding the ring return of welterweight champion Keith Thurman, and Josesito Lopez will certainly provide some answers about where Thurman is after nearly two years out of the ring,’’ said Tom Brown, President van TGB Promotions. “Adam Kownacki and Gerald Washington have the opportunity to show exactly where they stand in the resurgent heavyweight division. Both of them are big heavyweights who love to throw power shots. Nyambayar and Marrero are guaranteed to add fireworks to an already thrilling show. It’s the kind of night that will have fans on the edge of their seats.’’

“I speak for boxing fans everywhere when I say we are eagerly anticipating Keith Thurman’s return to the ring,” said Brett Yormark, CEO of BSE Global. “He has experienced great success at Barclays Center, so it’s fitting that he will lead off a strong year of BROOKLYN BOXING programming in 2019. I also look forward to seeing local favorite Adam Kownacki, who always comes with a strong contingent of loud fans.”

Thurman (28-0, 22 Uitklophoue) made a steady rise through the welterweight ranks and reached the pinnacle with hard-fought victories over Shawn Porter and Danny Garcia at Barclays Center,the latter of which earned him a WBC crown in addition to his WBA title. But a string of injuries has sidelined him for nearly two years, calling into question his place amongst the 147-pound elites. The 30-year-old Thurman, who is still the reigning WBA welterweight champion, is looking to regain his top-tier status in the division starting with Lopez.

Thurman, who lives and trains in Clearwater, Florida, enters the ring for the first time since a split decision victory Garcia on March 4, 2017.

“I’m extremely excited to step back into the ring,’’ said Thurman. “It’s a little nerve-wracking considering the time off and because I want to have a tremendous performance. I want to speak more with my hands more than my words and quiet the naysayers who think that Keith Thurman has lost his passion and skills in boxing. I believe I’m the best welterweight in the division and in the world and I hope to showcase that on January 26 with a knockout. The best fights in the welterweight division have involved Keith Thurman and that will continue to be the case. I’m looking forward to having a tremendous year and showing why I’m number one.”

The 34-year-old Lopez(36-7, 19 Uitklophoue) is looking to thwart Thurman’s plans to regain his lofty position in the 147-pound division. Nicknamed “The Riverside Rocky’’ because of his all-action style, the Riverside, California-native has stepped into the ring against some of the best boxers of this generation. He has rattled off three straight victories since suffering a TKO loss to former welterweight champion Andre Berto in 2015. Lopez is coming off a unanimous decision victory over previously unbeaten Miguel Cruz on April 28 live on FOX.

“I’m approaching this fight leaving no stone unturned as I prepare to take that world championship,’’Lopez said. “I’ve set up training camp with altitude, chasing chickens,chopping wood – really into putting in the work. Overall the layoff will affect him and there could be a little hesitation, but we’ll see come fight night. The improvements that I’ve made with Robert Garcia the last couple of years will come into play. They’ve strengthened my qualities and I can’t wait to show it to the world.”

Kownacki (18-0, 14 Uitklophoue) has risen through the heavyweight ranks with a tough-as-nails brawling style that produced a string of knockout victories and exciting showdowns. His knockout streak ended at four in his last fight when he scored a unanimous decision victory over former heavyweight champion Charles Martin on Sepember 8. Kownacki, who was born in Lomza, Poland and now lives in Brooklyn, will be fighting at Barclays Center for a third straight time and the eighth time overall.

“Living in Brooklyn this is like a home game for me,” said Kownacki.” I’ve had some of my best performances at Barclays Center and I can’t wait to step into the ring against Gerald Washington and showcase myself on PBC on FOX. There is nothing better to start off the year than with a knockout and that’s what I plan on doing on January 26 by Barclays Center. I hope all my fans will come out like they always do and have the arena in white and red.’’

Washington (19-2-1, 12 Uitklophoue) is a 6-foot-6 heavyweight who has been able to use his athletic ability to power his way past most of the opponents he faces. That athleticism will pose a challenge to Kownacki, who could be facing the toughest fight of his career.The 36-year-old Washington of Vallejo, California is a former college football standout at the University of Southern California and a U.S. Navy veteran who has challenged Deontay Wilder for his championship. He is coming off a unanimous decision victory over John Wesley Nofire in his last fight on June 10.

“I can’t wait to show everything I’ve been working on,’’ said Washington, “Boxing is a sport of truth. It brings the truth to light and it exposed my truth and what I needed to work on. You have to be able to adjust and be comfortable in every situation. You have to be ready for what’s to come. I’m expecting a hard fight from him. He’s a bruiser. He’s tough and he loves to fight. He’s in his hometown and he’s ready and he’s going to bring it, but I’m ready to position myself to fight again for a world title.’’

Afbetaal (10-0, 9Uitklophoue) has made a rapid ascent through the talent-laden featherweight division with precision and power. The 26-year-old Nyambayar, who is from Ulan-Bator Mongolia and now lives in Carson, Kalifornië, won a silver medal in the 2012 London Olympics as a member of the Mongolian boxing team. He scored a KO victory over Oscar Escandon in his last fight on May 26.

Marrero (23-2, 17Uitklophoue), a 29-year-old southpaw from Santo Domingo, Dominikaanse Republiek, is coming off a stunning KO victory over Jorge Lara in his last fight on April 28.Marrero two losses have come against former featherweight champion Jesus Cuellar in 2013 and Jesus Rojas in 2015. A victory over Nyambayar will putMarrero in position to fight for a world title again.w

Also in Action! Unbeaten Adam Kownacki Faces Gerald Washington in Heavyweight Attraction

Kaartjies nou te koop!!

BROOKLYN (Desember 12, 2018) – Undefeated WBA Welterweight World Champion Keith “One Time” Thurman returns to the ring after a lengthy injury layoff to defend his title against veteran Josesito Lopez Saterdag, Januarie 26 live in primetime in the main event of Premier Boxing Champions on FOX and FOX Deportes from Barclays Center, die huis van BROOKLYN boks ™.

Televisie dekking begin by 8 namiddag. ET / 5 pm. PT and will see a co-feature featuring fast-rising unbeaten Polish heavyweight contender Adam Kownacki as he clashes with former title challenger Gerald Washington in 'n 10-ronde stryd. Tickets for the show begin at $50 en kan gekoop word by ticketmaster.com,barclayscenter.com, of deur te bel 800-745-3000.

Tickets can also be purchased at the American Express Box Office at Barclays Center. Groep afslag is beskikbaar deur te bel 844-afrit vir Brooklyn-GP.

“There is a high level of anticipation and intrigue surrounding the ring return of welterweight champion Keith Thurman, and Josesito Lopez will certainly provide some answers about where Thurman is after nearly two years out of the ring,” sê Tom Brown, President van TGB Promotions. “Adam Kownacki and Gerald Washington have the opportunity to show exactly where they stand in the resurgent heavyweight division. Both of them are big heavyweights who love to throw power shots. It’s the kind of night that will have fans on the edge of their seats.”

“I speak for boxing fans everywhere when I say we are eagerly anticipating Keith Thurman’s return to the ring,” gesê Brett Yormark, CEO of BSE Global. “He has experienced great success at Barclays Center, so it’s fitting that he will lead off a strong year of BROOKLYN BOXING programming in 2019. I also look forward to seeing local favorite Adam Kownacki, who always comes with a strong contingent of loud fans.”

Thurman (28-0, 22 Uitklophoue) made a steady rise through the welterweight ranks and reached the pinnacle with hard-fought victories over Shawn Porter and Danny Garcia at Barclays Center, the latter of which earned him a WBC crown in addition to his WBA title. But a string of injuries, including surgery and rehabilitation on his elbow, has sidelined him for nearly two years, calling into question his place amongst the 147-pound elites.

The 30-year-old Thurman, who is still the reigning WBA welterweight champion, is looking to regain his top-tier status in the division starting with Lopez. Thurman, who lives and trains in Clearwater, Florida, enters the ring for the first time since a split decision victory over Garcia on March 4, 2017.

“I’m extremely excited to step back into the ring,” Said Thurman. “It’s a little nerve wracking considering the time off and because I want to have a tremendous performance. I want to speak more with my hands more than my words and quiet the naysayers who think that Keith Thurman has lost his passion and skills in boxing. I believe I’m the best welterweight in the division and in the world and I hope to showcase that on January 26 with a knockout. The best fights in the welterweight division have involved Keith Thurman and that will continue to be the case. I’m looking forward to having a tremendous year and showing why I’m number one.”

The 34-year-old Lopez (36-7, 19 Uitklophoue) is looking to thwart Thurman’s plans to regain his lofty position in the 147-pound division. Bynaam “The Riverside Rocky” because of his all-action style, the Riverside, California-native has stepped into the ring against some of the best boxers of this generation. He has rattled off three straight victories since suffering a TKO loss to former welterweight champion Andre Berto in 2015.

Lopez is coming off a unanimous decision victory over previously unbeaten Miguel Cruz on April 28 live on FOX. “I’m approaching this fight as leaving no stone unturned as I prepare to take that world championship,” Lopez said. “I’ve set up training camp with altitude, chasing chickens, chopping wood – really into putting in the work. Overall the layoff will affect him and there could be a little hesitation, but we’ll see come fight night. The improvements that I’ve made with Robert Garcia the last couple of years will come into play. They’ve strengthened my qualities and I can’t wait to show it to the world.”

Kownacki (18-0, 14 Uitklophoue) has risen through the heavyweight ranks with a tough-as-nails brawling style that produced a string of knockout victories and exciting showdowns. His knockout streak ended at four in his last fight when he scored a unanimous decision victory over former heavyweight champion Charles Martin on September. 8.

Kownacki, who was born in Lomza, Poland and now lives in Brooklyn, will be fighting at Barclays Center for a third straight time and the eighth time overall.

“Living in Brooklyn this is like a home game for me,” said Kownacki.” I’ve had some of my best performances at Barclays Center and I can’t wait to step into the ring against Gerald Washington and showcase myself on PBC on FOX. There is nothing better to start off the year than with a knockout and that’s what I plan on doing on January 26 by Barclays Center.

El Matador Management Fighters Mathew Gonzalez and Justin Biggs in action on Saturday night in Brooklyn

Skryf 'n opmerking

 

New York (September 28, 2018) – Two undefeated fighters from Felipe Gomez’s El Matador Management will be on display on Saturday night at The King’s Theatre in Brooklyn, New York.

 

 

 

Super Welterweight Mathew Gonzalez (6-0, 4 Uitklophoue) will take on Jordan Morales (3-4, 1 KO) in 'n vierronde-wedstryd, while super welterweight Justin Biggs (4-0, 4 Uitklophoue) will take on Noe Lozano (2-3) in a six-round tilt.

 

 

 

Gonzalez of Ridgewood, New York will be making his 5th start of 2018, and the busy fighter is ready for his next challenge.

 

 

 

“Alles goed gaan. I have had good sparring, my gewig is goed, and it is time to perform,” Said Gonzalez.

 

 

 

He will be facing Morales, van Sunbury, Pennsylvania, who took the fight on two-weeks notice.

 

 

 

“I don’t know too much about him. A friend of mine, Richardson Hitchins fought him at Barclays Center, and I was at that fight, so I have seen him fight.”

 

 

 

Gonzalez has established himself as one of the top ticket sellers in the New York area, en die 23 year-old nicknamed “Lefty” is getting noticed.

 

 

 

“I go to different places and people are starting to know me. It’s good to know that I am building a fan base. I thrive on having a big fan base. It makes me want to go out and execute and perform for my fans,”

 

 

 

Gonzalez is happy on where he is at in his career, as getting in a 5th fight in 2018 is setting himself up for a good year in 2019.

 

 

 

“I am where I should be. Elke stryd, I am getting better and better. I am just taking one fight at a time. I just want everyone to stay tuned and keep and eye on me. Fans can follow me on Instagram at leftygunz_

 

 

 

Biggs of Brooklyn will be making his 3rd consecutive appearance at the venue in his hometown.

 

 

 

“My opleiding was groot. I have been working hard, and I am on weight,” said Biggs.

 

 

 

Biggs has a pretty good scouting report on his foe, and he is looking for a great fight on Saturday.

 

 

 

“He is a fellow southpaw. He is pretty intense, and he comes at you, which should make for a great fight. I think that my body punching and jab will be too much for him to handle.”

 

 

 

Biggs has a nice knockout streak to start his career, and unlike most fighters he feels that stoppages are important for many reasons.

 

 

 

“The most important thing is to win. I don’t go in there looking for a knockdown, but I feel I will eventually get him out of there by breaking my opponents down. It is important to get knockouts because that is what people pay to see.”

 

 

 

Four fights into his career, Biggs continues to see himself evolve as a fighter.

 

 

 

“I see myself from old fights in the amateurs, and I see that I am more disciplined. I am more defensively responsible, and I am moving more fluidly. I feel that I am efficient and exciting. I am happy with my progress.”

 

 

 

Biggs, 26 years-old has a very ambitious schedule, and within a year, he sees himself as a legitimate contender.

 

 

 

“In the next year, I would like to be 14 of 15 en 0. Maybe even higher. I feel good that more that I fight, the more that I learn. I want to be fighters on the networks and being called a future world champion. Saterdag, i will do my best, and hope people will be inspired by watching me fight.”

 

 

 

Both Gonzalez and Biggs are promoted by Real Deal Boxing.

BROOKLYN (September 9, 2018) – Shawn Porter het Saterdagaand WBC se weltergewigkampioen geword toe hy 'n noue eenparige beslissende oorwinning behaal het Danny Garcia in 'n heftige geveg regstreeks op SHOWTIME vanaf Barclays Centre, die huis van BROOKLYN boks ™, in 'n byeenkoms aangebied deur Premier Boxing Champions.

 

 

 

Al drie beoordelaars het die stryd in die guns van Porter behaal (116-112, 115-113, 115-113) in 'n elektrifiserende geveg voor 13,058 aanhangers by die 30ste professionele boksgeleentheid by Barclays Centre. (Video-hoogtepunte hier: https://s.sho.com/2MWXfRj)

 

 

 

 

Porter verdien die gordel wat Keith Thurman, wat Porter en Garcia voorheen verslaan het, moes weens 'n besering gedwing word om te ontruim.

 

 

 

In 'n verwagte titelgeveg wat allerweë as 'n 50-50 wedstryd in boks se diepste afdeling, Garcia vs. Porter het soos geadverteer gespeel. Die verskil in totale kraghoue wat gedurende die 12-ronde-stryd beland het, was net vyf, met Garcia wat die noue voordeel behou.

 

 

 

In 'n wedstryd van akkuraatheid vs.. aktiwiteit, Porter kyk na die outworked Garcia. Hy was meedoënloos in sy aanval en gooi 742 totale slae en 544 krag stoot, landing 25 persent. Garcia, Aan die ander kant, was die meer presiese vegter, die hoër persentasie en meer betekenisvolle slae te land. Hy skakel aan 46 persent van die 304 kraghoue wat hy gegooi het. As gevolg van die kontrasterende style, die drie beoordelaars kon slegs oor vier rondes saamstem.

 

 

 

“Ek het 'n voorspelling gemaak en dit was moeilik om na te kom,” Said Porter. “Ek het gesê dat ek nie New York sonder hierdie gordel verlaat nie en ek nie New York sonder hierdie gordel verlaat nie. Ek het geweet hy gaan akkuraat wees. Die spelplan vir my was om van buite akkuraat te wees en te wys dat ek hom kon klop sonder om hom aan die toue te ruk.”

 

 

 

'N Teleurgestelde Garcia stem duidelik nie saam met die beoordelaars nie’ telkaarte.

 

 

 

“Hy gooi baie,” Said Garcia, wie val tot 7-2 in die wêreld titel gevegte. “Ek het my verdediging styf gehad, so ek het nie sy slae gevoel nie. Ek het gedink ek het die duideliker skote geland en hierdie stryd gewen.

“Ek moet agteroor sit, ontspan en kyk wat volgende vir my is.”

 

 

 

Na die aankondiging van die besluit, IBF-kampioen in die weltergewig en konsensus-top-vyf-pond-vegter Errol Spence Jr. het die ring betree om die pas bekroonde WBC-kampioen uit te daag vir 'n kitswedstryd.

 

 

 

“Op dieselfde manier as wat jy Danny geroep het, Ek gaan jou uitroep”, sê Spence. “Ek dink ek is die beste weltergewig in die afdeling. Ek is 'Die waarheid’ en ek waarborg u dat ek as verenigde kampioen by die huis kom. Ek wil beslis die stryd teen Porter hê.”

 

 

 

Dit was 'n sterbelaaide aand in Barclays, aangesien huidige en voormalige wêreldkampioene die gevegte bygewoon het, insluitend Spence, Mikey Garcia, Jarrett Hurd, Gervonta Davis, Adrien Broner, Andre Berto, Claressa Shields, Keith Thurman en Jermell en Jermall Charlo.

 

 

 

In die saamgespeelde geleentheid van SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING, konsensus top-10 weltergewig Yordenis Ugas (23-3, 11 Uitklophoue) uit geboks Argentinië s’n Cesar Miguel Barrionuevo (34-4-2, 24 Uitklophoue) op pad na 'n oorheersende eenparige beslissingsege (119-109, 120-108, 120-108). Met die oorwinning in die WBC-titel uitskakel, Ugas verdien die WBC se tweede verpligte posisie om Porter te beveg.

 

 

 

In 'n taktiese vertoning, Ugas het die tempo vanaf die openingsklok gedikteer en lyk gemaklik regdeur die 12 rondes. Hy was van meet af die meer effektiewe vegter, landing 55 persent van sy krag stoot en 35 persent van sy totale stoot. Barrionuevo, wat 'n groot toename in kompetisie in die gesig gestaar het, kon die voormalige Olimpiese bronsmedaljewenner uit Kuba nooit lastig val nie, ten spyte van die gooi van meer slae.

 

 

 

Barrionuevo net aangeskakel 26 persent van sy krag stoot en 19 persent van sy totale stoot. Ugas was die baie akkurater ponser wat verbind het 55 persent van sy krag stoot en 35 persent van sy totale stoot, including a wild multi-punch assault on Barrionuevo in the eighth round.

 

 

 

“We won today and I think I showed everybody my talent,” het Ugas gesê, who improves to 8-0 by 147 pond. “I’m happy with my performance. I showed enough, now I’m ready for a championship fight.

 

 

 

“I want the winner of Danny Garcia vs. Shawn Porter. I’m here to compete with the top-level guys in the sport.”

 

 

 

“I just didn’t have the right distance tonight,” said Barrionuevo, who was making his U.S. debuut. “It was hard to catch him and attack. He countered well and attacked the body. I showed my heart but he was the better fighter tonight.”

 

 

 

In die uitsending opener, heavyweight slugger Adam Kownacki (18-0, 14 Uitklophoue) remained undefeated by scoring a unanimous decision victory over former world champion Charles Martin (25-2-1, 23 Uitklophoue) in a sensational action-packed fight. Each of the judges scored the fight 96-94 in favor of the hometown favorite Kownacki, wat geveg het voor 'n lawaaierige kontingent Poolse aanhangers.

 

 

 

Albei vegters was ongelooflik aktief, met byna 1400 totale slae gegooi deur die hele 10 rondes. Kownacki en Martin, die voormalige IBF-swaargewigkampioen, elkeen gegooi 500 krag slae en beland 37 persent van hulle.

 

 

 

Kownacki, wat vir die sewende keer in sy pro-loopbaan in Barclays Centre geveg het, het die geveg op die voorvoet begin, 'n rugsteun van sy teenstander en die uitputting daarvan op pad na die vroeë rondes. Martin het begin om terug te keer in die stryd en behaal 'n tweede oorwinning in die sewende ronde, verskeie kragtige linkshandige houe op die kop van Kownacki geland.

 

 

 

In 'n mededinger vir die 2018 Ronde van die Jaar, die 10ste en laaste ronde het geweldige heen-en-weer-aksie gesien met albei vegters wat verwoestende ruilhandel verhandel het terwyl hulle hul bes gedoen het om op hul voete te bly. Die twee vegters het gekombineer om te land 62 slae in die rondte, 57 waarvan kragstampe was.

 

 

 

“Ek dink ek het vanaand bewys dat ek 'n top is 10 fighter,” Kownacki aan SHOWTIME Sports gesê® verslaggewer Jim Gray. “Ek dink ek het nog een of twee gevegte nodig voordat ek na 'n titelgeveg gaan. Ek het 'n groot span agter my. Wat hulle ook al besluit, dis die roete wat ons gaan neem.

 

 

 

“Ek het gedink ek het die besluit 'n bietjie wyer as die kaarte gewen, maar Charles het die hele nag kom veg. Hy was in vorm en het vorentoe gekom en ek moes diep delf.”

 

 

 

Martin, wat deur 'n stadige begin gestraf is, was genadiglik in die nederlaag en het krediet aan Kownacki gegee.

 

 

 

“Ek is 'n laat voorgereg, maar hy was vanaand die beter man,” het hy gesê. “Die voorkoms is baie bedrieglik, maar dit is boks. Ek het 'n helse geveg gevoer en die 10 rondes. Ek het net kort gekom.”

 

 

 

In streaming dekking van live onderkaartgevegte op SHOWTIME-KAMPIOENSKAP BOXING COUNTDOWN, Amanda Serrano (35-1-1, 26 Uitklophoue) die eerste ses-afdeling wêreldkampioen in die geskiedenis van vroueboks geword, by Manny Pacquiao en Oscar De La Hoya aangesluit as die enigste boksers, manlik of vroulik, om die punt te bereik. Die Brooklyn-boorling het 'n aggressiewe en vasberade verslaan Yamila Esther Reynoso (11-5-3, 8 Uitklophoue) om die vakante WBO Junior Weltergewig Wêreldkampioenskap per eenparige besluit te verdien (al drie beoordelaars het die stryd aangeteken 99-91).

 

 

 

“Dit beteken alles vir my,” Said Serrano. “Ek werk so hard en ek hoop dat hierdie geveg aan die ondersteuners wys dat meisies kan veg en dat ons alles kan gee net soos die mans. Ons verdien dit om hierdie platform te hê en ons verdien om vertoon te word.”

 

 

 

Ook op die live stream, Brooklyn-aanhanger-gunsteling Chris Colbert (9-0, 3 Uitklophoue) na 'n eenparige besluit gewen Fatiou Fassinou (28-11-3, 15 Uitklophoue) en Mayweather Promotions’ onoorwonne vooruitsig Richardson Hitchins (6-0, 3 Uitklophoue) Mexiko’s oorheers het Cesar Valenzuela (7-3, 2 Uitklophoue) op pad na 'n eenparige beslissende oorwinning.

Yordenis Ugas:
