Sosa battles Wilmer Rodriguez at The Kings Theatre

Queens, New York (Mars 9, 2018) – Undefeated welterweight Julian Sosa will be featured in his 1st main event i morgon night when he takes on once-beaten Wilmer Rodriguez at the Kings Theatre in Brooklyn, New York.

The eight-round bout will headline a Evander Holyfield Real Deal Boxing event.
Sosa is managed by El Matador Management.
Sosa, who will be fighting in front of his hometown fans in Brooklyn is very enthusiastic to be on the top of the bill.
“Learning that I was the main event gave me some extra motivation as I would down my camp,” said Sosa, who has a record of 10-0-1 med 3 knockouts.
“Being that this is my 1st fight this year, It means more that I am headlining.”
“This has been my longest camp. I have been working very hard for seven weeks, and I am more than ready for Lördag.”
Sosa is just starting to round into professional career, and he feels the best is yet to come.
“It has been quite a journey . It took me a few fights to transition from amateurs to the professionals. I had never fought without headgear. It took me about four fights to get used that and some of the other little things that are different. I am now very comfortable and settled in as a professional.”
In Rodriguez, he is facing a tough veteran, who has a record of 9-1, with his only loss coming to world champion Abner Mares.
“I have seen a few videos of him. He is a counter puncher with a “Philly Shell” defense. He stands in place, and he looks to counter.”
Sosa is looking to put on a show for his fans that he has not performed in front of since winning a four-round unanimous decision over Erick Martinez on October 14th vid Barclays Center.
“I am sorry that it has been five months since my last fight. I need a break, I have been fighting a lot. I am back and I am ready to roll. This is my first eight-round bout, and I am the main event. This is a clean start of the year, and I am ready to open eyes.”

Watch the Wilder KO : http://s.sho.com/2I0JWJB
BROOKLYN (Mars 4, 2018) – Undefeated heavyweight world champion Deontay “Brons Bomber” Wilder retained his WBC title in his seventh defense with a tenth round knockout over unbeaten challenger Luis “The Real King Kong” Ortiz in a thrilling back-and-forth SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING main event Saturday night from Barclays Center, hem BROOKLYN BOXNING®.
Wilder (40-0, 39 Kos) not only survived the toughest test of his career but also finished the job in spectacular fashion by unleashing a ferocious 10th round assault on Ortiz (28-1, 24 Kos). Wilder floored the Cuban challenger twice in the round, forcing referee David Fields to stop the fight at2:05 av rundan. Watch the knockout video HÄR.
Oritz looked like he would dethrone Wilder in the seventh round, countering with a strong right hand that hurt the WBC heavyweight champion. Ortiz unleashed a barrage of punches against a stunned Wilder, who somehow managed to stay on his feet to close the round before being saved by the bell. Ortiz continued his assault on Wilder into the eighth round, who again managed to make it through the round.
In the ninth round, Wilder began to rebound as he knocked Ortiz off-balance with a straight right hand. America’s only reigning heavyweight champion was firmly back in the fight as he landed a strong combination on Ortiz to close the round, completely changing the momentum of the fight.
Both fighters came out strong at the start of the tenth round, landing simultaneous blows that made each fighter temporarily wobbly. But it was Wilder who capitalized on the moment, as the Alabama-native pounced on Ortiz, sending his opponent to the canvas for the second time of the night with a flurry of overhand right hands. A dazed Ortiz returned to his feet, but was unable to withstand a follow-up assault from a confident Wilder, who landed an uppercut that sent Ortiz to the canvas for the third and final time.
Following his third successful title defense at Barclays Center, an emotional Wilder spoke to SHOWTIME Sports reporter Jim Gray about the most difficult fight of his career.
“A true champion always finds a way to come back and that’s what I did i kväll,” Said Wilder. “Luis Ortiz is definitely a crafty guy. He put up a great fight. We knew we had to wear him down. I showed everyone I can take a punch.
“He was hitting me with those furious punches but they didn’t have sting on them. He was throwing combos that knocked me off balance. I just had to get my range back and my fundamentals back. And I was able to do that. I showed I was a true champion i kväll.”
A proud but disappointed Ortiz, who was on the brink of a sensational seventh round stoppage of Wilder before the bell rang, also spoke to Gray following the fight.
“It was a great fight and I performed well,” Ortiz said. “I thought I was up on the scorecard going into the tenth round, but it’s heavyweight boxing and you never know what’s going to happen.
“I almost had him and I think I would’ve if there were a few more seconds in the round.”
Wilder out landed Ortiz 98-87, although Ortiz held a slight advantage in landed power punches, 63-60.
In the co-featured event of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING, Jose Uzcategui (27-2, 23 Kos) besegrade Andre Dirrell (26-3, 16 Kos) via TKO two seconds into round nine, upon the request of Dirrell’s trainer, Virgil Hunter. Segern, which makes Uzcategui the interim IBF Super Middleweight World Champion, puts the hard-hitting Venezuelan in position to fight for the super middleweight title that Caleb Truax earned via a majority decision over James DeGale in December.
Saturday night’s fight was a rematch of the hotly contested May 2017 ände, in which Uzcategui was disqualified for landing a punch after the bell sounded to end the eighth round. In the rematch, Uzcategui dominated the action from start to finish, using his powerful right hand to set the stage for the withering assault which led to Dirrell’s corner stopping the fight two seconds into round nine. Uzcategui out landed Dirrell 169-141 totalt slag, including a huge 112-51 discrepancy in power punches landed.
“I was a little surprised they stopped it in the ninth,” Said Uzcategui. “I had said it would be the third round that I would knock him out. It took a little longer, but it finally came.
“I think it was very clear in the first fight that I did my job. In the second fight I showed even more, so there’s going to be a lot of Uzcategui from now on.”
Dirrell, a native of Flint, Michigan, found Uzcategui’s length and aggression difficult to deal with.
“I’ve been in there with long fighters before, but he was especially long,” Said Dirrell. “I think I was a little heavier than I wanted to be i kväll, but that’s no excuse. Uzcategui did a great job.
“We knew we needed a knockout. The way it was going I needed to at least pick it up. I felt a little sluggish and he hit all the right shots. None of them really hurt, but he hit me where he was supposed to.”
In a world title fight featured on the undercard, Long Island Alicia Napoleon (9-1, 5 Kos) won the Vacant Women’s WBA Super Middleweight world title with a dominant unanimous decision victory over Femke Hermans (6-1, 3 Kos).
“It’s hard to find words to describe this right now,” said Napoleon. “It’s so surreal it’s almost like a dream. I’m just glad I did it. This is one down, but there’s many more to go. The goal is to get all the belts.”
Napoleon controlled the action with her power and superior athletic prowess and wobbled Hermans in the final round before earning the decision by scores of 99-91 och 98-92 två gånger.
“I think this means a lot for women’s boxing, not just that I won the belt, but where I was placed on this great card,” said Napoleon. “People are going to continue to see and hear more and more from women boxers.”

FLASH QUOTES

Deontay Wilder:

“I’m going to let the world know that the weight don’t mean a thing; it’s all mental at the end of the day. Like I’ve said, I’d rather be the part than look the part. I’ve said many a time that I put these guys on their ass, and that’s what I come to do Lördag natt. Over and over again all my guys have out-weighed me. So that’s nothing compared to where I came from, and nothing compared to where I’m going come Lördag natt. You’re all in for a treat and I can’t wait.

 

“On paper he’s looked good against the opposition he’s faced, but he’s never faced a Bronze Bomber; he’s never faced a guy who has more killer instinct than him. He’s never faced a guy who wants to just rip his head off, and I do mean rip his head off!

 

“I am the best and I’m ready to show på lördag night that I’m the best in the world.”

 

LUIS ORTIZ:

 

 

“Our training camp was prepared for whatever Deontay Wilder was going to bring into the ring, whether it was a runner, or a puncher – whatever he wants to do we have trained for it so there’s no problem.

 

 

“You have to adapt and make changes come fight night, and I’m prepared to do that and I’m experienced to do that. I’ve been waiting my whole career to do this as a pro and as an amateur this is something I never dreamed I would do, and I’m not losing i morgon."

 

 

ANDRE DIRRELL:

 

 

“I just saw a piece of meat, and I’m hungry.

 

 

“The IBF demanded this. There were two wrongs from the last fight and I was hit after the bell, and he was hit after the bell. The IBF wanted to right that wrong and this is the only way to do so. He deserves this shot and I deserve this shot. It’s going to be a better fight this time around.

 

 

“It’s all about what [new trainer] Virgil [Hunter] has done with my mind. The ability is there, as we all know. We’ve perfected that. And we’ve changed the mind this time, samt.

 

 

“We all know that Jose Uzcategui is a fighter in full; that boy can throw, but that’s just not going to be enough come fight night.”

 

 

JOSE UZCATEGUI:

 

 

“The ref will not have to intervene; I’ll knock him out quicker this time.”

 

 

“Maybe if Virgil Hunter gets in the ring too because that’s the only way they’re going to win is if the corner gets in the rings. Because that’s the only way they will get the win.”

Här är vad deltagarna hade att säga Torsdag:
Deontay Wilder
“The reason I wanted this fight is not only do I think Ortiz is one of the best technical fighters in the division, but he’s the boogeyman that everyone is running from. Champions have avoided him and I’ve always said I was the best and this is my chance to prove it.
“This result isn’t up to anyone but myself. Every time I get under the bright lights, I give the fans what they want to see. This is the best versus the best and that’s what boxing deserves.
“I had all the excuses in the world to run away from this fight after he failed the test. There are a lot of good, up-and-coming heavyweights out there, but I wasn’t interested in them. This fight is how I prove that I’m the baddest man on the planet.
“På mars 3, with all the personal things put aside, it’s going to be an honor to fight Luis Ortiz, man to man and father to father. I know that family is his motivation, just like it is for me, and that’s why I blessed him with this opportunity.
“The exciting thing about Saturday night is for everyone to see what I’m capable of doing. Luis Ortiz is determined to get my WBC belt. This is my seventh defense of my title and I’ve enjoyed every one. It’s a lot of responsibility and I take it seriously. You’ll all see på lördag night why I’ve said the things I’ve said.
“Everyone knows what I’m expecting Lördag natt. I can’t say it enough. I have knocked every opponent out for a reason. I plan on continuing my knockout streak. That’s what I do and that’s what I’m best at.
“This is the best fight right here in boxing that can be made. Det blir inte bättre än så här på lördag natt. You have to be here in person, because you won’t want to miss anything. You never know what you’ll see, men Lördag night will be bombs away.”
LUIS ORTIZ
“I never say anything bad about fighters because inside the ring, allt kan hända. I respect everyone who steps into the ring. This is my opportunity. Detta är min tid. Deontay is a great champion but this is my chance.
“Som jag alltid säger, this is my time and it’s going to be a great triumph. This is big for all of Cuban boxing and I will make my country proud.
“This is going to be like two trains on the same track about to collide. I’m going to win and I’m going to take his belt.
“This is not a video game. This is not using controllers. You have to actually step into the ring with me på lördag natt.
“Deontay is scared. He’s talking a lot of nonsense. He’s worried about what I’m going to do. Detta är min tid. I’m going to show everyone.
“Jag är 100 percent ready to go. Sparring has been amazing and I’m totally prepared for Deontay Wilder. Deontay’s biggest mistake is that he talks too much.
“I looked into his eyes and I knew that I’m not going to lose this opportunity. I’m going to be the first Cuban and the first Latino born outside the country to win a title. Lördag night will be historic.
“The public gave me this opportunity to fight for the title and beat you for your belt. I’m going to make the most of my chance and knock Deontay Wilder out.”
ANDRE DIRRELL
“It was a rocky start for me in our first fight. He caught me with a good shot in the early rounds, but I was able to fight through it. I started to dominate the second half of the fight but he had definitely thrown my game off. I still weathered the storm and made good things happen. This fight is very deserving of a rematch and I’m looking forward to it.
“This fight right here is one of the beautiful moments we have in boxing. There were two wrongs that night in the last fight. I’m really happy with everyone who has made this rematch and gave the sport what it deserves.
“Now Jose Uzcategui and myself both have chances to prove ourselves again. This is going to be the worst opportunity of Uzcategui’s life. But it will be the best opportunity for me.
“This is my opportunity to prove all of the critics wrong this time. I’m not the favorite, and it’s a beautiful thing. I’m going to change every single mind på lördag natt. I’m stepping up to the plate, and I’m preparing to hit a home run.
“Virgil Hunter has definitely helped me with my mental game. We’ve worked on a masterful game plan. Virgil is tough to work with but we did all of the necessary things we had to in order to accomplish what we have to på lördag.
“The next two years or more will be the best years of my career. I’ve been blessed with an illustrious career. This is a new look for me and I feel good. I have a very tough, hungry fighter in front of me and I can’t wait to prove myself.”
JOSE UZCATEGUI
“We’re not doing anything differently heading into this fight. I’ve put the time in at the gym every day to make sure that the fight ends conclusively this time.
“Before I even got to the ring in the first fight I felt some animosity from the referee towards me and it kind of led to what happened in the fight.
“Saturday night you’re not just going to see that I’m a boxer-puncher, but you’ll see my full power on display.
“I’m happy to be in this rematch. I hope that Dirrell brings action like he’s talking about på lördag. I don’t want to chase him around the ring all night.
“I’m ready to accomplish my dreams, and that involves beating Andre Dirrell more decisively than last night and leaving no doubt at all who the better fighter is.”
LOU DiBella, VD för DiBella Entertainment
“Deontay Wilder put everything aside to face one of the greatest amateur heavyweights in the history of boxing. This fight is happening because Deontay is that good and he’s that proud. Deontay is ready to prove that he’s the baddest man on the planet.
“There is a sensational off-television undercard beginning at 5:30 p.m. at Barclays Center that includes a group of top contenders and prospects. It’s really a loaded undercard from top to bottom.
“That great undercard includes a woman’s title fight involving Alicia Napoleon. Everyone involved in this fight has made an effort to have women’s boxing represented on our cards and I’m proud to be able to deliver that for fans.
“This will be Deontay’s third defense of his title in Brooklyn at Barclays Center. He successfully defended against Artur Szpilka and Bermane Stiverne, with two frightening knockouts. I’m proud to work with Barclays Center and promote boxing in Brooklyn. This is certainly one of the best venues for boxing in the world and certainly a venue that is dedicated to bringing the fans consistently excellent programming inside the arena.
“This fight is getting the kind of reception that it deserves. If you want to get tickets for Lördagnatt, I would call now because they’re moving fast.”
STEPHEN ESPINOZA, President Sports & Events Programming, Showtime Sports Inc.
“When we have a fight card like this, the network gets a lot of credit but these fights truly don’t happen unless fighters like Wilder and Ortiz are ready to take the fights.
“When we announced our schedule back in January, there was one fight that jumped out to everyone, and it was Wilder vs. Ortiz. They have 67 fights between them, 67 vinner, 0 losses and 62 knockouts. This is part of what we’re calling ‘March Madness’ på Showtime. All four heavyweight titles, the top four heavyweights in the world, including Anthony Joshua vs. Joseph Parker on Mars 31, facing each other this month on SHOWTIME. There hasn’t been a lineup like that put together by any network in the history of the sport.
“The titles are great but these fights are about something else. They’re about legacy. When people look back and ask, ‘what kind of fighter was Deontay Wilder?’ This is the fight that they will talk about. More important than knockouts and unbeaten records, this is why fighters are remembered.
“Dirrell vs. Uzcategui 2 is good enough to be a main event and they deserve to have a great stage for this rematch. These are the kind of cards that people look back and say, were you there that night? If you’re not watching this card, you’re not a boxing fan. Because this is the best that the sport has to offer.”
BRETT YORMARK, CEO of Brooklyn Sports & Underhållning
“I can’t tell you how excited I am for Saturday night. People are starting to realize how viable this sport is and that boxing is a sport on the rise. We’re thrilled to be a part of it
“Events like Lördag in Brooklyn are why this sport is thriving. It features a deep card from top to bottom, 50-50 fights and great fighters with magnetic personalities
“Deontay, even though you weren’t born in Brooklyn, we do consider you our own. We’re excited to have Luis Ortiz as well, för första gången, på lördag natt. This is a card from top to bottom that’s incredible and I’m thrilled to welcome Andre and Jose to Brooklyn.
“The seats are moving really quickly and this should be one of the biggest fights we’ve had at Barclays Center. We’re very excited for this show and look forward to seeing everyone there.”

I sitt första försvar, eftersom dethroning Kell Brook på Showtime i maj, Spence (23-0, 20 Kos) ut inramade en tuff Peterson (35-4-1, 17 Kos) från början till slut, visar upp ett brett spektrum av färdigheter, hastighet och kraft. Kampen stoppades före starten av den åttonde omgången efter Petersons tränare, Barry Hunter, kallas för stoppet.

 

 

 

Kampen utspelar sig på liknande sätt som båda tävlande förutspådde, med början i en slug taktisk affär innan den förvandlas till en aggressiv kamp i mitten rundor. Två minuter in runda fem, Spence använde en svidande vänsterkrok att skicka Peterson till duken (Klicka HÄRför höjdpunkt). The Washington, D.C. infödda tillbaka på fötter och fortsatte att kämpa, men Spence visade sig vara för mycket. Den 2012 US. Olympian ut landade Peterson 161-45, vid anslutning på 49 procent av sin makt slag bara 31 procent för Peterson.

 

 

 

Efter kampen Spence talade till Showtime Sports reporter Jim Gray och var snabb att ge kredit till sin motståndare. ”Jag vill tacka Lamont,"Sa han. ”Många killar tackade kamp och han tog det som en riktig krigare och jag lovordar honom för det. He’s a tough fighter. He’s willing to die in there.” Click HÄR att titta på intervjun höjdpunkt.

 

 

 

Trots tjäna seger i befallande sätt, Spence tror fortfarande att han har utrymme att förbättra. ”Jag kan fortfarande förbättra en hel del på mitt försvar,”Sade mästare obesegrade världen. ”Jag har bara hålla finslipa mina kunskaper och hålla framåt. Du kommer att se en bättre Errol Spence nästa gång jag får i ringen.

 

 

 

”Alla vet att jag har väntat på’Some Time’Thurman,”Sade Spence, blickar framåt till en möjlig återförening match med WBC och WBA weltervikt världsmästaren Keith Thurman. "Sedan jag var 15-0 I’ve been calling this guy out and he keeps making excuses. Låt oss få det på. Han har två av remmarna och vi båda har stora namn. Det är en lätt match att göra och jag vill ha det.”

 

 

 

Peterson, som kämpade tappert mot den yngre Spence, respekterade beslutet av hans tränare att stoppa slagsmål, ”Om han ber mig att bekämpa en miljon människor, Jag ska. Om han ber mig att sluta. jag ska sluta. Jag kommer aldrig att ifrågasätta hans beslut. Jag vet att han har mitt bästa för ögonen.”

 

 

 

”Det var verkligen svårt, men om du vet Lamont, du vet att han inte kommer att ge upp,”Sa tränaren Barry Hunter. ”Jag var tvungen att stoppa det. Vid slutet av dagen, detta är min son här. Det finns inget mer värdefullt än hans välbefinnande. Om det kommer till honom eller vinna, Jag plockar honom. Jag bryr mig om honom.”

 

 

Undefeated 135-pound world champion Robert påsk (21-0, 14 Kos) earned a split decision victory over former world champion Javier Fortuna (33-2-1, 23 Kos) i co-main event av Showtime telecast. Domarna gjorde matchen 114-113, 113-114 och 115-112.

 

 

 

Back-och-tillbaka skjutningen såg två skickliga soldater kvar i fickan och titta för att göra skada från insidan. En andra omgång punkt avdrag från Fortuna bevisade dyrt när Dominikanska varnades och straffas för att slå påsk bakom huvudet. Utan en punkt avdraget, kampen skulle ha gjorde oavgjort. Medan påsk Jr. var något livligare, Fortuna landade de mer kraftfulla slag. Påsk Jr., som höll en betydande höjd fördel, ut landade Fortuna, ansluter på 120 av 383 (31 procent) effekt stansar medan Fortuna anslutna på 113 av 441 (26 procent).

 

 

 

”Det var en hård kamp, Han är en före detta mästare av en anledning värld,”Påsk berättade Gray. ”Vi gjorde det svårt att försöka motverka punch. Han var inte kasta mycket och det gjorde det svårt för mig att jaga den här killen runt.

 

 

 

“Jag kunde inte få knockout men vi fick segern och det är allt som betyder något. Jag visste att han var på väg att köra när han kände min makt. Han ville bara att greppa och hålla hela kampen.”

 

 

 

Blickar framåt, Påsk gjorde sina avsikter när han söker enande anfall inom en snar framtid, ”Jag vill bekämpa mästare och förena dessa bälten. Slagsmål som dessa är inte i min spelplan. Jag är redo för Mikey Garcia och Jorge Linares att underteckna kontraktet.”

 

 

 

En missnöjd Fortuna talade också till Gray, ”Allmänheten vet vad som hände här. De utbuad eftersom de vet att jag vunnit denna kamp.

 

 

 

”Om han är en man Låt oss slåss igen på 135-pounds,”Sade Fortuna, who failed to make weight on two attempts Fredag, vilket innebar att påsken bälte skulle inte vara på linjen. ”Jag kommer definitivt att vikten. Jag ville inte ge mig själv tillräckligt med tid att träna.”

 

 

 

Unbeaten light heavyweight contender Marcus Browne (21-0, 16 Kos) gjorde snabbt arbete av Francy Ntetu (17-2, 4 Kos) i Showtime CHAMPIONSHIP BOXNINGS Prelims åtgärd, as he dropped and battered his opponent early to force referee Arthur Mercante to stop the bout at just 2:15 av den första omgången. Kämpar för sin 12th time at the Barclays Center, den 27 åriga Staten Island infödda höll hans opåverkad rekord intakt genom att utnyttja sin starka vänster hand på overmatched Ntetu.

 

 

 

Browne etablerat sin dominans från början, landar en ren over vänster som tappade Ntetu halvvägs genom rundan. Montreal, Québec infödda var aldrig kunna återfå sina fötter och fann sig hörn mot repen bara trettio sekunder senare. En störtflod av kraftfulla kombinationer landade på försvars Ntetu lämnade domaren med lite annat val än att stoppa kampen med 45 sekunder kvar i omgång nummer ett.

 

 

 

“Vi arbetade för vinst. Han gick in i ett säkert skott och jag gjorde honom betala,”Sade Browne. ”The over vänster fångade honom och det var början till slutet för honom. Jag visste att han var skadad.

 

 

 

“Jag behöver en värld titel skott. Jag är redo att ta på någon av mästarna. Jag har inga preferenser. Jag är glad att jag satt ihop en annan stor prestation här på Barclays Center. Jag kommer att fortsätta att förbättra tills jag blivit riktigt Mr. Barclays Center.”

 

 

 

kredit, som flyttade upp till lätt tungvikt division för denna kamp, hade svårt att hantera Browne kombination av hastighet och kraft på väg till den andra förlusten av sin professionella karriär.

 

 

 

"[Browne] är mycket explosiv, grattis till honom,” Said Ntetu. “Han är snabb, Han är smart och jag trodde att han skulle vara att explosiv. Han fick mig med sin högra krok och en rak vänster.

 

 

 

”Jag var i tillräckligt form för att kämpa för 10 rundor. Det är inte min viktklass, men jag vill inte göra ursäkter.”

 

 

 

I öppningen anfall av Showtime MÄSTERSKAPBOXNINGS Prelims, obesegrad Adam Kownacki (17-0, 14 Kos) delivered a brutal knockout of Iago Kiladze (26-2, 18 Kos) vid 2:08 of the sixth round of their heavyweight matchup. Kownacki, född i Lomza, Polen utan att kämpa av Brooklyn, New York, åtnjöt stöd för sin hemstad folkmassan som han stadigt bar Kiladze ner.

 

 

 

Kownacki var mer aggressiva och korrekt av de två kämparna, landning 43 procent av sin makt slag och 35 procent av hans totala stansar, jämfört med bara 30 procent och 18 procent, respektive, för Kiladze. Trots en blodig näsa som Kownacki led i den första omgången, Polens tunga började hälla det på och däck Kiladze med en rad uppercuts och en-två kombinationer i den fjärde omgången. Den actionfyllda bout upphörde när Kownacki ansluten en kombination av två uppercuts och en höger som skickade Kiladze på rygg i den sista minuten av den sjätte omgången. Efter en bedövad Kiladze tillbaka på fötter, domaren Shada Murdaugh kallade kampen på förslag av ringside läkare.

 

 

 

“Jag är så tacksam till alla mina polska fans som kommer ut och ge mig det extra stöd”, nämnda Kownacki, som kämpade framför hundratals hans landsmän. ”Jag kommer att fortsätta kämpa för fansen och ge alla en stor show.

 

 

 

“Jag tror att jag gjorde kampen mycket svårare än jag borde ha. Det är en annan lärorikt och jag fick vinna. Det är allt som betyder något.”

 

 

 

Georgien födda Kiladze, som kämpar ut ur Los Angeles, var oförmögen att tala med media när han fördes till NYU Lutheran Hospital av försiktighetsskäl.
