Leave a comment
LAS VEGAS, Nevada (Desembre 18, 2017) – superestrella uzbeka i 2016 Medalla de plata olímpica, Xakhram Giyasov, ha aterrat als Estats Units, i s'instal·larà a Las Vegas, Nevada, per començar la seva carrera professional. Com a professional, Giyasov farà campanya a la divisió de pes welter, on va ser un destacat aficionat sensacional.
A l'edat 24, Giyasov que es troba a 5’9″, és un dels boxejadors amb més talent que ha entrat a les files professionals en l'última dècada. L'estiu passat a Hamburg, Alemanya, el dretà Giyasov va capturar l'or (Welter) al 2017 Associació Internacional de Boxa (AIBA) Campionats del Món. Victòria de Giyasov a la final contra Cuba Esglésies Roniel, la 2012 Medallista d'or olímpic, no va sorprendre ningú, com l'Uzbekistan era el #1 llavor entrant al torneig. Shakhram va ser escollit millor boxejador del torneig pels seus companys, guanyadora 56% de l'enquesta en línia de l'AIBA.
“He arribat als Estats Units d'Amèrica i penso establir-me com el proper gran campió de l'Uzbekistan,” va dir Xakhram Giyasov. “El meu objectiu és conquerir la divisió de pes welter i convertir-me en un campió lliura per lliura. Em poso els meus objectius alts perquè crec en mi mateix i en l'equip que he posat al meu voltant. Junts anirem al cim.”
Giyasov, que és una mega estrella a la seva terra natal d'Uzbekistan, està gestionat per Ruslan Khusinov, un agent esportiu internacional amb vincles amb alguns dels millors boxejadors amateurs del món. El seu raonament per portar Giyasov a les llums brillants de Las Vegas va ser fàcil, per establir la seva marca a la meca de la boxa professional.
“Estem molt satisfets amb la nostra decisió de portar Shakhram Giyasov a Las Vegas,” va dir Ruslan Khusinov. “Tothom reconeix Las Vegas com la meca de la boxa i aquí és on volem construir les nostres bases. Tinc grans plans per fer de Giyasov una superestrella aquí als Estats Units, igual que a casa on la seva popularitat és innegable.”
Entrenant Giyasov, serà Justin gamber, que guia el racó del contendent mundial invicte, Caleb “Mans Dolços” Planta (16-0, 10 KOs). Gamber creu que Giyasov pot saltar per la via ràpida a un títol mundial.
“En el joc de boxa d'avui, tens molts boxejadors amb alt pedigrí amateur, lluitant per un títol mundial abans que el seu 15º pro lluita,” Justin Gamber va declarar. “Crec que Giyasov s'adapta a aquest motlle. El veig lluitant per un títol mundial al començament de la seva carrera.”

LAS VEGAS (Set. 8, 2017) – At 20 any, 9 months old, David Benavidez became boxing’s youngest world champion – and the youngest ever in the super middleweight division – with a split decision victory over Ronald Gavril el divendres night on an exciting night of 168-pound action on BOXA DE SHOWTIME: EDICIÓ ESPECIAL de The Joint del Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. See the video of the decision via Twitter link AQUÍ.

 

Benavidez (19-0, 17 KOs) placed the previously vacated WBC Super Middleweight belt around his waist after winning the title against former European amateur standout Gavril (18-2, 14 KOs) in what Benavidez later described as quite possibly the “Fight of the Year.” One scorecard had Gavril winning 116-111, with Benavidez winning on the other two scorecards, 116-111 i 117-111 in the event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

 

“It feels amazing to win this title,” said the Phoenix resident Benavidez. “It’s everything I’ve dreamed about since I was a little kid. It’s everything I’ve dedicated myself to and I’ve worked hard for. It finally paid off.”

 

The 31-year-old Romanian Gavril, who trains at Mayweather’s Gym in Las Vegas by Eddie Mustafa Muhammad, sent Benavidez to the canvas with a left hook with just 50 seconds left in the wild 12º i ronda final.

 

“I feel I won the fight. Em va dominar el ritme. I can’t say anything else other than it was up to the judges,” Gavril said, who was watched by his promoter all-time great Floyd Mayweather from ringside. “The only thing I can do is to ask for a rematch.”

 

Benavidez, who turned pro at age 16 and only had 15 baralles com amateur, took control of the fight early on, but Gavril seemed to gain steam mid-fight, out-boxing and being more active than Benavidez in the seventh, rondes vuitena i novena. In rounds 11 i 12, Benavidez out-landed Gavril 66-35 en general i 53-14 with power punches.

 

“I felt my performance was good except for the last round when I got too anxious and wanted to knock him out,"Va dir Benavidez. “I let my young side takeover and I wanted to give the fans a great fight. I didn’t really feel hurt but it was a shock knockdown. I know to be careful and more cautious. It was a learning experience.”

 

 

 

In another super middleweight contest, Abie Han suffered a devastating accidental head-butt againstJ'Leon Amor a 1:02 into the eighth round and the fight went to the scorecards. One judge had Las Vegas’ Love winning 79-73, and the other two 76-76 making the decision a technical majority draw.

 

Following an exchange of punches, Estimar (23-1-1, 13 KOs) leaned in and the two fighter banged heads in violent fashion. Ell (26-3-1, 16 KOs) of El Pas, Texas, was left stunned and fell to the floor as blood gushed from his forehead above his left eye and he was immediately checked on by referee Kenny Bayless.

 

Ell, who left the arena sitting up on a stretcher before hearing the decision, won the statistical battle in the ring. Han landed more blows (78-47 total, 20-12 jabs, 58-35 energia) and did so more accurately (24 percent to 17 percent overall, 16 percent to eight percent jabs and 30 percent to 27 percentatge de potència).

 

SHOWTIME boxing analyst Al Bernstein had Han winning by one point at the time of the stoppage.

 

“I can’t rate my performance as great because I didn’t get a victory, I got a draw,” said Love, who once trained at the famed Kronk Gym in Detroit under Hall of Fame trainer Emanuel Steward.

 

The 29-year-old Love ended nearly a one-year layoff with his return to the ring. “I’m kind of rusty but I feel like I pressed the action and tried to take it to him,"Ell va dir. “Other than that I feel like I landed the cleaner shots.”

 

A la primera baralla de la transmissió per televisió, unbeaten super middleweight prospect Caleb Planta (16-0, 10 KOs) recorded a 10-round shutout decision against a tough Andrew Hernández (19-7-1, 9 KOs), 100-90 tres vegades.

 

Planta, who resides in Las Vegas by way of Ashland City, Tenn., was the more active fighter against the 31-year-old switch-hitting journeyman Hernandez, who took the fight on just eight days’ notice after Alan Campa dropped out. Plant jabbed effectively (81 de 271, 30 per cent) while neutralizing Hernandez’s usually effective jab (46 de 325, 14 per cent). Plant was also sharp with his power shots landing 44 percent to Hernandez’s 19 per cent.

 

“I’m very pleased with my performance,” Plant said. “I boxed well and I dictated the pace. I pressed when I needed to press and boxed when I needed to box. I felt I put on a great show for the fans. I want to be star in boxing. I know with hard work I can accomplish anything.

 

“Hernandez is tough, I sent him with everything and he stood tall and my hats off to him. He’s a tough competitor.”

 

Hernández, de Phoenix, Ariz., suffered a cut under his left eye in the third and it caused him problems throughout the fight, opening up and bleeding over the final two rounds.

 

“All respect to Caleb Plant on his performance tonight,” Hernandez said. “He put on a solid fight and he’s got a great future. I was happy I was able to stay in there and last the entire 10 rondes.

 

“I felt Caleb won, but I don’t think it was 10 rounds to none. But that’s not for me to decide. It’s all up to the judges at the end of the day it only matters what they think.”

 

Plant added: “I’m ready to step up in competition and fight anybody in the top 10 of the super middleweight division. I got my eye on Benavidez and all the other world champions. vinc!"

 

Divendres de tripleheader will replay on Sunday, Set. 10, a 9 a.m. I/PT, i Dilluns, Set. 11, a 10 p.m. I/PT a SHOWTIME EXTREME i estarà disponible a SHOWTIME on DEMAND® i SHOWTIME EN QUALSEVOL MOMENT®.

On his matchup with late opponent Andrew Hernandez…
“Sincerament, it doesn’t matter who they put in front of me, I’ll fight anyone. I was originally supposed to fight Alan Campa, but he pulled out, like most of my opponents. Hernandez recently fought so I know he’s in good shape. I’m happy that he stepped up, but I’m going to put tips on him. There’s no two ways about it, I’m coming out on top.”
Al seu recent camp d’entrenament…
“Training camp has been unbelievable. It’s no doubt, one of my best training camps ever. My weight is perfect and I couldn’t be happier with the way I’ve been looking in the gym. My trainer Justin Gamber is doing a phenomenal job, as well as my dad Richie. Larry Wade, my strength and conditioning coach, has got me in tip top shape. We are going to dictate our game plan on Hernandez, and try to get him out of there before the final bell. Si va la distància, Vaig a estar llest.”
On making his Showtime debut…
“I’m very excited to be making my debut on Showtime. This is the first of many as I believe I can become a household name on their network. Showtime is looking for their next star and I believe it’s me. I’m going to put on a spectacular performance. Everyone watching can expect to see a very skilled and determined fighter when they see me fight aquest divendresnit.”
On fighting in his new hometown of Las Vegas…
“This will be my third time fighting in Las Vegas, la meca de la boxa, and I want to stamp my legacy here. Since moving here from Nashville about a year ago, I’ve been getting some great work with some top-level fighters. Nashville will always be home, but Vegas is where I’m at right now. I have a lot of new fans out here and I can’t wait to put on a great show for them.”
On what a victory will do for his career…
“Una victòria aquest divendres will get me one step closer to a world title shot. I’m currently ranked WBA #7 i #11 per la Federació Internacional de Boxa. I’m right there knocking on the door. David Benavidez is fighting for the WBC title in the main event, and he’s definitely someone I want to fight. J'Leon Amor, who’s world ranked, is also on the card. Both are on my radar. I’m want all the champions in my division. I’m going to be a world champion when I get my opportunity.”

The following is a training camp update from each of the fighters on d'aquest divendres triple.

 

David “El Bandera Roja” Benavidez

  • He trains out of The Summit Gym in Big Bear, Califòrnia.
  • His trainer is his father, Jose Benavidez Sr.
  • Amb una victòria, Benavidez (edat 20) would become the youngest Super Middleweight to ever win a world title and the youngest current world champion.
  • He’s very familiar with the gym because his brother Jose Benavidez Jr. (former WBA interim super lightweight champion) used to train there when he was active.

 

Benavidez on training camp:

“My training camps are always fairly long. I only take a week off after every fight and go back into training. For the first couple weeks, it’s just moving around, then we slowly work into the hard training. For this one, I probably had like a month and a half, two months.”

 

En el seu oponent:

“I feel like he [Ronald Gavril] has a really good style for me to showcase my skills, like how I did against Rogelio Medina. With our sparring partners, we have brawlers and we have boxers, també. Whatever style he fights on that night, I’m going to be prepared for it.”

 

Ronald “The Thrill” Gavril

  • He trains at the Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas.
  • He is a former European amateur standout.
  • His trainer is Eddie Mustafa Muhammad (65 anys; former WBA light heavyweight world champion, retired in 1988 amb un registre de 50-8-1, 39 KOs).

Gavril on training camp:

“I feel really sharp and I’m really happy with how everything has gone during training. This is the opportunity that I’ve worked so hard to get to and I’m definitely not letting it slip by. I know that everything needs to be 100 percent on fight night so I’m pushing myself to be ready to do whatever it takes to leave with the belt.”

 

En el seu oponent:

“Benavidez is a strong guy who’s coming in with a lot of support behind him, but I’m not going to let any of that distract me from my preparation. Me and my trainer are going to have a great game plan for him. I know he wants to be active and smother me and we’re going to show him all of the parts of my game.”

Eddie Mustafa Muhammad:

“I got Ronald sparring with the IBF’s number-one super middleweight contender, Jose UzCategi. He’s giving us good work, too—he can fight. We also sparred Badou Jack for a couple rounds. We’ve got an abundance of guys that we’re working with.

 

“The way they’re talking about Benavidez, it’s like he’s King Kong. But it’s good—perfect! Ronald is a boxer-puncher, he can adapt. That’s the whole key. He has a wealth of amateur experience. This is our opportunity. We’ve talked about this for a while now, and Ronald is at a point where he’s ready right now…It’s going to be a great fight.”

 

J'Leon Amor

  • He trains at the Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas.
  • His trainer is Theo Chambers.
  • He’s been in training camp for about five months

 

Love on training camp:

“My training camp—it’s been months! I started training in April. Being that we had fights fall out, I always stayed in the gym. That’s the hardest part, because I feel like I’ve had bad luck with fights falling out. But one thing I can say—we train our ass off! I just want to go on vacation after this.”

 

“We’ve had a lot of good sparring—Lionell Thompson and Denis Douglin have been in here working. We’ve had so many sparring partners throughout this camp, and we’ve just been working, working, working.

 

En el seu oponent:

“I remember Abie Han from the amateurs. He’s always been a tough fighter. You can’t look past anybody. Everybody comes in that ring to fight. Everybody comes in with a different mode or a different drive, so this may be the drive he has to really come out and explode on the scene and beat me. Així, I’m taking him absolutely, positively serious, like he’s a world championship fighter and we’re fighting for the world title.”

 

Abraham “The Sun City Warrior” Han

  • Trains out of his father’s martial arts studio in El Paso, Texas (Han’s Martial Arts).
  • He is trained by Louie Burke — 56 anys; former pro junior lightweight, retired in 1985 amb un registre de 19-3, 12 KOs; won the “ESPN Junior Lightweight Title” on Apr. 14, 1983, with a 12-round unanimous decision against Freddie Roach; also won a 10-round decision against Roach in the rematch on Nov. 10, 1983.
  • He has sparred with former world champion Austin Trout.

 

Han on training camp:

“I train at my dad’s martial arts studio in El Paso – Han’s Martial Arts. I’m sparring mostly with local people from El Paso, and I also sparred with Austin Trout.

 

“I’ve been working hard and working with Austin (Truita) and that makes a big difference. Austin makes me so much better. He’s been a world champion and he will be a world champion again. His expertise and his knowledge is amazing. He’s been in those situations and he tells me little things along the way and I think that will make all the difference in this fight.”

 

Caleb “Sweet Hands” Plant

  • Moved to Las Vegas from Nashville about a year ago to train
  • He is trained by Justin Gamber and his father Richie Plant.

 

Plant on training camp:

“I’ve been living in Las Vegas for more than a year now – since August 24th, 2016. I’ve been in the gym consistently this whole time since my last fight, but my ‘official’ training camp will be seven or eight weeks. We bounce around to a couple of different gyms for sparring. I’ve had good work this camp – great sparring, good strength and conditioning, good gym work, and I’ve had good rest. I have a good diet.

 

“I know every boxer says, ‘Oh, this is my best camp,’ and a lot of times they don’t mean it. But this has literally been my best camp. Things are very smooth.”

 

Andrew Hernández

  • He is managed by his wife Jacquie Hernandez and trained by Alan Beirs.
  • Alfred Quintana serves as his cut man and strength and conditioning coach.
  • A late replacement, Hernandez got the call on Aug. 29 and accepted the fight; contract signed the next day.
  • Trains at Gents Gym in Arrowhead, Ariz.

 

What Hernandez has to say:

“I’ve known my trainer, Alan Beirs, for a while. He actually helped me with my last couple of fights – we’ve only been together maybe six months or so. He worked my corner in February, but we weren’t working completely together. Then when I got back in the gym in March, that’s when we really started working together.

 

“I train at a place called Gents Gym in Arrowhead, Ariz. I trained there with the Busted Knuckles Boxing crew – that’s Alan Beirs’ crew. We’re all pushing each other to get better and I know they’ll have me ready for fight night.”

L'SHOWTIME BOXING: La retransmissió de l'EDICIÓ ESPECIAL comença a les 10 p.m. I/PT and will feature two additional showdowns in the super middleweight division. Once-beaten J'Leon Amor (23-1, 13 KOs) will battle Texas-native Abraham (26-3, 16 KOs) in a 10-round bout while unbeaten prospect Caleb Planta (15-0, 10 KOs) porta a Mèxic de Alan Camp (16-3, 11 KOs) a 10 rondes d'acció.
Benavidez (18-0, 17 KOs) has a chance to make history – at just 20-years-old he is aiming to become the youngest super middleweight champion in history and the youngest reigning world champion in the sport today. Gavril (18-1, 14 KOs) will seek to keep the WBC 168-pound title in the Mayweather Promotions family after it was vacated by his stablemate, Badou Jack.
“This opportunity means the world to me,” va dir Benavidez. “I’ve been working for his since I was a little kid. It’s all come down to this moment when I’m ready to take this belt and take over the 168-pound division. The time is almost here, and I can hardly wait for Setembre 8. Winning the championship would be enough on its own. But the opportunity to be the youngest in the sport is a major accomplishment and the biggest of my life, fins ara. I have a tough competitor in front of me, and I know he’s treating it as seriously as I am. I’ve been working for two and a half months for this fight and I’m not overlooking him.”
“It’s been a great journey for me getting to this point of fighting for a world title,” Said Gavril. “I have a great team behind me who pushes me every single day to perform my best, learn from my mistakes and perfect my technique. Those values have gotten me here and I am thankful for such an amazing opportunity. I will go out there and give it everything I have, I can’t leave the ring without the championship belt.”

“Al novembre 2015, I said that I had new blood for our industry David Benavidez, who would be the best and youngest super middleweight champion in the history of our sport,” Said Sampson Lewkowicz, Benavidez’ promotor. “We didn’t cherry pick this opponent. He was the next available contender when Anthony Dirrell pulled out. We expect fireworks. We expect to birth a new superstar. The most important thing is to determine in which round Gavril will be knocked out, because I believe that we’re talking about matching a jet plane against a helicopter. So I expect a spectacular performance from Benavidez, who will begin his run as the new blood in boxing and will keep it going until he retires.”
“To be in a position to announce another great card coming just weeks after the biggest event in sports history shows that Mayweather Promotions shows no signs of slowing down,” va dir Leonard Ellerbe, CEO de Mayweather Promotions. “We are thrilled to present this fight card on Setembre 9, filled with tremendous talent featuring top contenders in the Mayweather Promotions stable. Gavril has proven to be a tough competitor, he’s on a long win streak with his last four coming by way of TKO, Love making his return to the stage is sure to excite fans, and the always exciting Caleb Plant will definitely put on show. This is what boxing is about, bringing together some of the most exciting talents on one stage.”
After delivering a highlight reel knockout of Rogelio Medina in May, Benavidez has now racked up a perfect 18 guanya a 18 Comença amb només 20 anys. El germà petit de Jose Benavidez invicte, David picked up four victories via stoppage in 2015 i va continuar amb quatre més a 2016 incloent -hi el fet de vèncer a Francy Ntetu anteriorment invicte al juny i el concursant dur Denis Douglin a l'agost. Més recentment, Benavidez va començar la seva 2017 campanya amb una destrucció de segona ronda de Sherali Mamajonov al gener. The Phoenix-native will look to make history in the 168-pound division onSetembre 8.
Born in Romania, Gavril won a 165 amateur fights and trained with the National Team before turning pro in 2011 and eventually moving to Las Vegas to train at the Mayweather Boxing Club. The 31-year-old won his first 11 pro fights before dropping a narrow contest to veteran Elvin Ayala.

I was honest with them and I believe I made a positive impact on the entire group. They have a boxing program up there and I was able to give a few pointers to some of the kids. It was a very uplifting experience for me and I’m grateful to the Spring Mountain youth leaders for inviting me.”

Això és el que van dir els lluitadors després dels seus combats:
CALEB PLANTA
“Aquesta nit era per mantenir-se controlat. No volia sortir allà i forçar res. Només volia relaxar-me i instal·lar-me darrere del meu jab, utilitzar els meus desmais, i només fes els trets que hi havia per a mi.
“Espero que una victòria com aquesta m'obri algunes portes. La 168 La divisió de lliures és a la meva butxaca posterior. Només ho faig una lluita a la vegada i aconseguirem el nostre objectiu.
“Recórrer la distància per aconseguir una victòria sobre un lluitador experimentat com Awimbono demostra molt sobre el meu potencial. Ha estat allà amb uns grans lluitadors, però vaig lluitar contra la meva lluita i vaig aconseguir la victòria.
“El vaig deixar caure d'hora amb una ràfega, però és difícil contra un noi que no es volia comprometre. Has d'agafar el que et donen. En cas contrari, m'arrisco a ser massa agressiu i a quedar-me agafat desprevingut, que no puc permetre. He de tenir paciència i trobar els meus llocs.
“Espero baralles més grans cada vegada. No volem cap toc suau. He estat intentant lluitar amb alguns dels millors prospectes, nois amb alguns títols menors, però no acceptaran la lluita. Tanmateix, no puc deixar que això em molesti, perquè sé que tinc un alt risc per a aquests nois. Potser és a principis de la meva carrera, però puc fer els ajustos i fer-ho tot.”
TUGSTSOGT NYAMBAYA
“Va significar molt aconseguir una victòria com aquella contra un lluitador accidentat amb poca antelació.
“Buscàvem un nocaut molt abans, però Gemino va ser molt dur aquesta nit. Va mostrar molt de cor, però per sort hem aconseguit la victòria.
“Tot i que aquest era un pes més pesat del que estic acostumat a lluitar, No vaig tenir cap problema amb la seva mida.
“Lluitar amb una carta com aquesta a FS1 i FOX Deportes significa el món per a mi. Aquesta va ser una gran oportunitat per mostrar les meves habilitats.
“Vull a qualsevol que em posin al davant. M'enfrontaré a qui sigui.”
JOAN GEMINO
“No estic intentant trobar excuses, però vam prendre aquesta lluita amb molt poc temps. Estic molt frustrat amb la meva actuació d'aquesta nit.
“Faré tot el possible per aconseguir una altra lluita als Estats Units. i prometo donar-ho tot sempre. Espero que els aficionats hagin gaudit de la nostra lluita d'aquesta nit.
“Estic disposat a lluitar contra qualsevol, Només m'agradaria tenir més temps per preparar-me per Nyambayar.”

Això és el que van dir els lluitadors després dels seus combats:
Deontay WILDER
“Sabia que entraria emocionat per lluitar per un títol mundial. Només vaig mantenir la calma i vaig trobar el meu ritme. Realment sabia que es cansaria, i quan ho va fer vaig aprofitar.
“Tot era qüestió de temps. Sóc molt intel·ligent quan es tracta d'utilitzar diferents tàctiques al ring.
“Lluitar aquí a Alabama és una benedicció. La gent d'aquí es presenta per donar-me suport i els estimo per això. Sempre donaré suport i estaré aquí per a la meva família d'Alabama. Veure la resposta del públic aquesta nit va significar molt per a mi.
“Com he anat dient, Estic buscant unificar la divisió. Crec que és fonamental tenir un lluitador i un campió, i aquest és Deontay Wilder. Esperem que Joseph Parker estigui preparat per a mi perquè definitivament estic preparat per a ell.”
Gerald Washington
“Només em vaig impacientar una mica. Jo estava intentant anar-hi. Va ser un partit de boxa igualat. Podria haver-ho mantingut així i avorrit. No sé per què m'he adormit allà. Suposo que he perdut una mica el focus.
“El vaig agafar d'un tret quan entrava. Però en lloc de mantenir-lo en marxa i seguir empenyent-lo enrere i mantenir-lo en control mantenint-lo al centre de l'anell, Vaig intentar agafar-me amb ell. Estava intentant fer un petit paper de contraatac i atrapar-lo entrant. Em va atrapar.
“És només una experiència. Has de seguir el pla de joc i mantenir-te concentrat, mantenir-se pacient. És possible que no obtingueu tots els trets que voleu al principi, però has de jugar el joc fins i tot i llavors començaran a passar coses.”
Jarrett Hurd
“Volíem prendre el nostre temps amb ell perquè Harrison pot boxejar i moure's. Però cada vegada que lluita es desgasta cap al final.
“Durant la sisena ronda, em va agafar amb un bon xut dins l'ull esquerre. Però vaig aconseguir lluitar i aconseguir la victòria.
“És fantàstic ser campió. Mai abans havia tingut una sensació tan gran. És pur poder d'Accokeek. Per fi puc aixecar-me els pantalons ara. Em van caure els pantalons, però finalment vaig aconseguir el meu cinturó.”
DOMINIC Breazeale
“Vaig trigar una mica a trobar el meu ritme, però al final vaig trobar el meu ritme. Izu va entrar en gran forma i amb les armes enceses. Va venir a mi amb algunes coses que no m'esperava. Com que era el noi més lleuger, realment no esperava el poder que posseïa.
“He pogut connectar alguns grans trets aquesta nit, sobretot amb la mà dreta. Ja veus què passa quan el deixo i mai es va recuperar.
“Després de la derrota davant Joshua, aquesta victòria em torna a posar-hi. Això és el que sempre he demanat. El meu equip fa un treball increïble per aconseguir-me qualsevol lluita que demani, i volia lluitar contra un invicte com l'Izu. Ell és un gran, fort, noi atlètic.
“Aquesta nit, la història tractava que jo tenia el cor de lleó, ser assolit, però tornar de seguida per acabar aquesta lluita.”
Iardes d'Ugonoh
“Esperava que l'anava a noquejar. Vaig creure que ho aconseguiria, però no em va sorprendre amb res. Estava fent bons trets tant al seu cos com a la cara.
“Breazeale, però, va mostrar molt de cor, i crec que la seva experiència li va ajudar molt. Crec que una lluita com Anthony Joshua el va ajudar realment a adonar-se que podia agafar qualsevol cosa i guanyar la lluita. Ho ha fet aquesta nit.
“Honestament, M'acabo de cansar. Li vaig donar el que tenia i després em vaig cansar. Quan va tornar cap a mi, no vaig poder mantenir-me al dia i acabar amb el meu pla de joc.
“El pla era utilitzar realment el meu doble cop, i no em poso cap excusa. Aquest és el joc de lluita. Aquesta va ser una gran oportunitat per a mi, un gran pas endavant, i jo esperava fer-ho. Jo no, però això forma part de l'esport. No estic acostumat a perdre, però avui ha arribat el moment. Encara sóc un home perillós per lluitar.”
