Legg igjen en kommentar
LAS VEGAS, NV (Desember 18, 2017) – Uzbekistani superstar and 2016 Olympisk sølvmedalje, Shakhram Giyasov, has landed in the United States, and will settle in Las Vegas, NV, to start his pro career. Som en profesjonell, Giyasov will campaign in the welterweight division, where he was a sensational amateur standout.
At age 24, Giyasov who stands at 5’9″, is one of the most talented boxers to enter the professional ranks in the last decade. This past summer in Hamburg, Tyskland, the right handed Giyasov captured Gold (Weltervekt) i 2017 International Boxing Association (Aiba) World Championships. Giyasov’s victory in the finals against Cuba’s Roniel Iglesias, den 2012 OL-gullvinner, came to no one’s surprise, as the Uzbekistan was the #1 seed entering the tournament. Shakhram was voted best boxer of the tournament by his peers, vinnende 56% of the AIBA online poll.
“I have arrived in the United States of America and plan to establish myself as the next great champion from Uzbekistan,” said Shakhram Giyasov. “My goal is to conquer the welterweight division and become a pound-for-pound champion. I set my goals high because I believe in myself and the team I’ve put around me. Together we will go to the top.”
Giyasov, who is a mega-star in his native land of Uzbekistan, is managed by Ruslan Khusinov, an international sports agent with ties to some of the best amateur boxers in the world. His reasoning for bringing Giyasov to the bright lights of Las Vegas was easy, to establish his brand in the mecca of professional boxing.
“We are very please with our decision to bring Shakhram Giyasov to Las Vegas,” said Ruslan Khusinov. “Everyone recognizes Las Vegas as the mecca of boxing and this is where we want to build our foundation. I have big plans to make Giyasov a super-star here in the States, just like back home where his popularity is undeniable.”
Training Giyasov, vil bli Justin Gamber, who guides the corner of undefeated world ranked contender, Caleb “Søte Hands” Plant (16-0, 10 KOs). Gamber believes Giyasov can jump on the fast track to a world title.
“In today’s boxing game, you have many boxers with high amateur pedigree’s, fighting for a world title before their 15th pro fight,” Justin Gamber stated. “I believe Giyasov fits that mold. I can see him fighting for a world title early in his career.”

LAS VEGAS (Sju. 8, 2017) – At 20 år, 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 på fredag night on an exciting night of 168-pound action on SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION fra The Joint på Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. See the video of the decision via Twitter link HER.

 

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 og 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 12th og siste runde.

 

“I feel I won the fight. I dominated the pace. 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 amatør kamper, 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, åttende og niende runder. In rounds 11 og 12, Benavidez out-landed Gavril 66-35 overall and 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,” Benavidez said. “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 Kjærlighet ved 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, Elske (23-1-1, 13 KOs) leaned in and the two fighter banged heads in violent fashion. Han (26-3-1, 16 KOs) of El Paso, 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.

 

Han, 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 generelle, 20-12 jabs, 58-35 makt) and did so more accurately (24 percent to 17 percent overall, 16 percent to eight percent jabs and 30 percent to 27 percent power).

 

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,"Han sa. “Other than that I feel like I landed the cleaner shots.”

 

I åpnings bout av sendingen, unbeaten super middleweight prospect Caleb Plant (16-0, 10 KOs) recorded a 10-round shutout decision against a tough Andrew Hernandez (19-7-1, 9 KOs), 100-90 tre ganger.

 

Plant, 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 av 271, 30 prosent) while neutralizing Hernandez’s usually effective jab (46 av 325, 14 prosent). Plant was also sharp with his power shots landing 44 percent to Hernandez’s 19 prosent.

 

“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.”

 

Hernandez, from Phoenix, Arizona., 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 runder.

 

“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. I’m coming!"

 

Fredagens tripleheader will replay on Sunday, Sju. 10, ved 9 a.m. OG/PT, og Mandag, Sju. 11, ved 10 pm. OG/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME on DEMAND® og SHOWTIME ANYTIME®.

 

Barry Tompkins called the action from ringside with Bernstein and former world champion Raul Marquez serving as expert analysts. The executive producer was Gordon Hall with Richard Gaughan producing and Rick Phillips directing.

Plant will face late opponent, Andrew Hernandez (19-6-1, 9 KOs) in a ten-round bout. Tune indenne fredagen på SHOWTIME (10 pm. OG/PT).
With just a few days away from the fight, Plant gives is thoughts on facing Hernandez, trening, og mer, as he wraps up the final days of camp.
On his matchup with late opponent Andrew Hernandez…
“For å være ærlig, 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, Jeg kommer ut på toppen.”
On his recent training camp…
“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. If it goes the distance, Jeg skal være klar.”
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 denne fredagennatt.”
On fighting in his new hometown of Las Vegas…
“This will be my third time fighting in Las Vegas, the mecca of boxing, 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…
“En seier denne fredagen will get me one step closer to a world title shot. I’m currently ranked WBA #7 og #11 av IBF. 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 Kjærlighet, 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 denne fredagens tripleheader.

 

David “El Bandera Roja” Benavidez

  • He trains out of The Summit Gym in Big Bear, Calif.
  • His trainer is his father, Jose Benavidez Sr.
  • With a victory, Benavidez (alder 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.”

 

På sin motstander:

“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, så vel. 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 år; former WBA light heavyweight world champion, retired in 1988 med en registrering av 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.”

 

På sin motstander:

“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 Uzcategui. 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 Kjærlighet

  • 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.

 

På sin motstander:

“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. Så, 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 år; former pro junior lightweight, retired in 1985 med en registrering av 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 (Ørret) 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 Hernandez

  • 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.”

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,” said 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 September 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, so far. 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.”

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,” Said Leonard Ellerbe, CEO i Mayweather Kampanjer. “We are thrilled to present this fight card on September 9, filled with tremendous talent featuring top contenders in the Mayweather Promotions stable.

LAS VEGAS, NV (April 17, 2017) – Dette siste Lørdag, undefeated super-middleweight contender, Caleb “Søte Hands” Plant (15-0, 10 KOs), made an impact while doing a speaking engagement to at-risk teens at the Spring Mountain Youth Camp (SMYC) i Las Vegas. Caleb spoke to the youth about a variety of subjects but mostly about staying focused on their goals.
“I really wanted to come talk with these kids instead of at them,” sa Caleb Plant. “The kids were very well mannered and they asked a lot of questions. 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.”

BIRMINGHAM, AL. (Februar 25, 2017) – Ubeseiret stigende prospekt Caleb Plant (15-0, 10 KOs) scoret en enstemmig avgjørelse (100-89, 100-89, 99-90) seier over en erfaren Thomas Awimbono (25-7-1, 21 KOs) i hovedturneringen av Premier Boxing Champions på FS1 og FOX Deportes fra Legacy Arena i Birmingham, AL.
I TV-opener, Tugstsogt Nyambayar (8-0, 7 KOs) gikk seirende ut med en hardt kjempet 10thrund teknisk knockout over Jhon Gemino (15-8-1, 7 KOs).
Her er hva krigerne hadde å si etter deres kamp:
CALEB ANLEGG
“I kveld handlet det om å holde seg kontrollert. Jeg ønsket ikke å dra ut der og tvinge noe. Jeg ville bare slappe av og bosette meg bak ryggen min, bruk mine besvimelser, og bare ta bildene som var der for meg.
“Jeg håper at en seier som dette åpner noen dører for meg. Den 168 lbs divisjon er i baklommen. Jeg tar det bare en kamp om gangen, så når vi målet vårt.
“Å gå distansen for å vinne en erfaren jagerfly som Awimbono viser mye om potensialet mitt. Han har vært der inne med noen flotte krigere, men jeg kjempet kampen og fikk seieren.
“Jeg droppet ham tidlig med et sus, men det er vanskelig mot en fyr som ikke vil engasjere seg. Du må ta det de gir deg. Ellers risikerer jeg å gå inn for aggressivt og bli fanget av vakt, som jeg ikke kan tillate. Jeg må være tålmodig og finne flekkene mine.
“Jeg håper på større kamper hver gang. Vi vil ikke ha noe mykt. Jeg har prøvd å få kamper med noen topputsikter, gutter med noen mindre titler, men de vil ikke ta kampen. Jeg kan ikke la det plage meg skjønt, fordi jeg vet at jeg er en høy risiko for disse gutta. Det kan være tidlig i karrieren min, men jeg kan gjøre justeringene og gjøre alt.”
TUGSTSOGT NYAMBAYAR
“Det betydde mye å få en sånn seier mot en robust fighter på kort varsel.
“Vi lette etter en knockout mye tidligere, men Gemino var veldig tøff i kveld. Han viste mye hjerte, men heldigvis fikk vi seieren.
“Selv om dette var en tyngre vekt enn jeg er vant til å kjempe mot, Jeg hadde ikke noe problem med å håndtere størrelsen hans.
“Å kjempe på et kort som dette på FS1 og FOX Deportes betyr verden for meg. Dette var en stor mulighet til å vise frem ferdighetene mine.
“Jeg vil ha noen de legger foran meg neste gang. Jeg møter hvem som helst.”
JHON PAR
“Jeg prøver ikke å finne unnskyldninger, men vi tok denne kampen på veldig kort varsel. Jeg er veldig frustrert over opptredenen min i kveld.
“Jeg vil gjøre alt jeg kan for å få en ny kamp i USA. og jeg lover å alltid gi alt. Jeg håper fansen likte kampen vår i kveld.
“Jeg er villig til å kjempe mot hvem som helst, Jeg skulle bare ønske jeg hadde mer tid til å forberede meg på Nyambayar.”

BIRMINGHAM, AL. (Februar 25, 2017) – Ubeseiret tungvektsverdensmester Deontay “Bronse Bomber” Wilder (38-0, 37 KOs) slo Gerald ut “The Black Rooster” Washington (18-1-1, 12 KOs) i femte runde av hovedturneringen til Premier Boxing Champions på FOX og FOX Deportes på Legacy Arena i Birmingham, AL.
Foran en mengde 12,346 fans, Wilder var i stand til å gi hjemmestatsmengden en ny glitrende seier. Selv om Washington stjal noen av de tidlige rundene, Wilders tålmodighet betalte seg da han klarte å finne tempoet og fullføre Washington i femte ramme.
I den blåsende TV-åpningen, Dominic Breazeale (18-1, 16 KOs) stoppet tidligere ubeseiret Izuagbe Ugonoh (17-1, 14 KOs). Ugonoh kontrollerte kampen tidlig ved å lande tunge slag mot både Breazeales kropp og hode, men Breazeale var i stand til å komponere seg selv og stormet tilbake for å slå ut Ugonoh på imponerende måte.
Medarrangementet inneholdt Jarrett Hurd (20-0, 14 KOs) slå ut Tony Harrison (24-2, 20 KOs) i den niende runden av deres konkurranse.
Her er hva krigerne hadde å si etter deres kamp:
Deontay Wilder
“Jeg visste at han kom inn spent på å kjempe om en verdensmesterskap. Jeg bare holdt meg rolig og fant rytmen min. Jeg visste virkelig at han kom til å bli trett, og da han gjorde det, tok jeg fordel.
“Det hele handlet om timing. Jeg er veldig smart når det gjelder å bruke forskjellige taktikker i ringen.
“Å kjempe her i Alabama er en velsignelse. Folk her dukker opp for å støtte meg, og jeg elsker dem for det. Jeg kommer alltid til å støtte og være her for Alabama-familien min. Å se mengdenes respons i kveld betydde mye for meg.
“Som jeg har sagt, Jeg ønsker å forene divisjonen. Jeg synes det er viktig å ha en fighter og en mester, og det er Deontay Wilder. La oss håpe Joseph Parker er klar for meg, for jeg er definitivt klar for ham.”
GERALD WASHINGTON
“Jeg ble bare litt utålmodig. Jeg prøvde å gå for det. Det var en jevn boksekamp. Jeg kunne ha holdt det slik og holdt det kjedelig. Jeg vet ikke hvorfor jeg sovnet der. Jeg antar at jeg mistet litt fokus.
“Jeg tok ham med ett skudd da han kom inn. Men i stedet for at jeg holder spillet oppe og fortsetter å skyve ham tilbake og holde ham i kontroll ved å holde ham midt i ringen, Jeg prøvde å komme på ham. Jeg prøvde å spille en liten motpunch-rolle og fange ham inn. Han tok meg bare.
“Det er bare en opplevelse. Du må følge spillplanen og holde fokus, vær tålmodig. Du får kanskje ikke alle skuddene du ønsker i begynnelsen, men du må spille spillet helt ut og da begynner ting å skje.”
JARRETT HURD
“Vi ønsket å ta oss tid med ham fordi Harrison kan bokse og bevege seg. Men hver gang han kjemper slites han mot slutten.
“I løpet av den sjette runden, han fanget meg med et godt skudd inne i venstre øye. Men jeg klarte å kjempe meg gjennom det og få seieren.
“Det føles flott å være en mester. Jeg har aldri hatt en følelse så bra før. Det er ren Accokeek-kraft. Jeg kan endelig trekke buksene opp nå. Buksene mine falt ned, men jeg fikk endelig beltet.”
DOMINIC Breazeale
“Det tok litt tid for meg å finne tempoet mitt, men til slutt fant jeg rytmen min. Izu kom i god form og med våpen flammende. Han kom på meg med noen ting som jeg ikke forventet. Han var den lettere fyren, og jeg hadde egentlig ikke forventet kraften han hadde.
“Jeg klarte å koble sammen noen store skudd i kveld, spesielt med høyre hånd. Du ser hva som skjer når jeg legger ham ned, og han kom seg aldri helt tilbake.
“Kommer av tapet til Joshua, denne seieren setter meg tilbake der inne. Dette er det jeg alltid har bedt om. Teamet mitt gjør en utrolig jobb med å skaffe meg den slags kamp jeg ber om, og jeg ønsket å kjempe mot en ubeseiret fyr som Izu. Han er en stor, sterk, atletisk fyr.
“I kveld, historien handlet om at jeg hadde hjertet til en løve, blir slått ned, men kommer rett opp igjen for å fullføre denne kampen.”
IZUAGBE UGONOH
“Jeg forventet at jeg skulle slå ham ut. Jeg trodde jeg ville oppnå det, men han overrasket meg ikke med noe. Jeg landet noen gode skudd til både kroppen og ansiktet hans.
“Breazeale viste imidlertid mye hjerte, og jeg tror at opplevelsen hans virkelig hjalp ham. Jeg tror en kamp som Anthony Joshua virkelig hjalp ham med å innse at han kunne ta hva som helst og vinne kampen. Han gjorde det i kveld.
“Ærlig, Jeg ble bare sliten. Jeg ga ham det jeg hadde, og så ble jeg sliten. Da han kom tilbake på meg, klarte jeg ikke å følge med og fullføre spillplanen min.
“Planen var å virkelig bruke min doble jab, og jeg kommer ikke med noen unnskyldninger. Dette er kampspillet. Dette var en stor mulighet for meg, et stort steg opp, og jeg håpet å få det gjort. Det gjorde jeg ikke, men det er en del av sporten. Jeg er ikke vant til å tape, men den tiden kom i dag. Jeg er fortsatt en farlig mann å kjempe for.”
