Aquí está o que os participantes tiñan que dicir Martes:
LEO SANTA CRUZ
“O meu soño é ser a próxima gran cousa no boxeo. Imos traballar duro todos os días no ximnasio, aprender dos nosos erros e mellorar para que eu poida ser o mellor loitador que hai. Coa axuda dos afeccionados e dos medios creo que podo logralo.
“Ten grandes habilidades, grandes golpes e móvese moi ben. Vai ser unha loita dura para min pero vou traballar moito para defender o meu cinto.
“Vexo a Frampton como alguén que intenta vir e quitarlle todo o que traballei duro. Non podo deixar que isto suceda. Vou facer o que teño que facer para conseguir a vitoria.
“É un loitador moi hábil. Ten un gran poder e creo que vai ser unha loita emocionante. Estes son os tipos cos que quero loitar. Dáme aínda máis motivación para entrar no ximnasio e adestrar duro.
“Coñezo a Mikey García desde os tempos dos afeccionados e as nosas familias pelexaron entre elas. Incluso adestrai con Robert García antes. Ver a outro gran loitador mexicano ir a Nova York é moi emocionante. Estou moi feliz por el. É un gran rapaz e un gran loitador.
“Creo que Frampton manterá o seu poder nas clases de peso. Xa non podía gañar 122 libras e dixo que esta vez será aínda máis forte. Iso é bo. Iso é o que quero. Quero que se sinta ben, así que será unha loita dura e entretida.
“Non podo deixar que veña aos Estados Unidos. e conseguir esta vitoria. Imos saír alí e ver se pode sacar o mellor de min. Vou estar preparado ao cen por cento.
“Estou cómodo con 126 libras. Quero conseguir esta vitoria contra Carl Frampton e despois unirme contra Gary Russell Jr., Lee Selby ou calquera dos campións. Cando o meu corpo estea listo subiremos de peso para buscar outro título mundial.
“Cando comecei a boxear o único que pensei foi ser campión do mundo unha vez. Despois, despois de chegar alí, comecei a impulsar os meus obxectivos. Se sigo aprendendo e mellorando como loitador, Podería chegar ata 140 libras.
“Estou encantado de loitar en Nova York. Vai ser a miña primeira vez por aí. Estou emocionado de coñecer novos fans. A xente que desexaba que loitase en Nova York poderá verme. Hai xente que non me coñece e esta a miña oportunidade de ser impresionante e darlles un espectáculo.”
Mikey GARCIA
“Son un loitador completo. Podo axustarme a case calquera estilo. Recibo moitos sparrings diversos para poder axustarme a todo o que poida aportar Rojas. O campo de adestramento foi moi ben e creo que vai ser unha boa noite para min.
“Xa vin antes a Rojas. Vino cando era campión. É un bo loitador con moita experiencia. Definitivamente pode boxear e ten unha boa man dereita. Perdeu o seu título ante un gran campión. É moi hábil e con experiencia.
“Os dous somos boxeadores e adoitamos intentar traballar a distancia. Esta vez quizais teña que buscar un pouco máis a loita e aplicar algo de presión. Se tenta boxear, atopareino. Creo que o meu poder acabará por ser a diferenza e vouno romper.
“Non creo que haxa ferruxe do anel porque nunca estiven fóra do ring. Estiven todo o tempo no ximnasio, sparring e adestramento. Eu espallaría 10 ou 12 rounds, só para facelo. Non porque tivera unha pelexa, pero só para manterme activo. Sei que parece moito tempo, pero realmente non o vexo. Sinto que fora seis meses.
“Quero loitar contra 135 e loitar por un título alí. Vou ver como se sente o meu corpo despois desta loita, pero ese é o plan ata agora. Non miramos máis alá de Elio. Definitivamente quero volver ao ring pronto se todo vai ben.
“Non me arrepinto. Teño que gozar máis do que tiven na última 10 anos. Cando estás no boxeo, é un deporte durante todo o ano. Non tes tempo para ti, para a túa familia ou amigos. Perdes moito. No meu tempo aprendín moito sobre boxeo e moito máis.
“Isto acabará sendo un campo de adestramento de sete semanas, pero aínda antes estiven no ximnasio. Non me sinto diferente. Síntome ao cen por cento. O meu corpo está ben descansado o que me fai máis fame e máis motivado.
“Loitei en Nova York antes e sempre foi un público xenial e moi solidario. Estiven no Barclays Center por primeira vez en xuño 25 para Thurman-Porter e foi unha gran area. Tiña unha gran enerxía e non podo esperar para loitar alí. Non podo esperar para loitar no Barclays.
“É xenial estar no ximnasio con todos estes diferentes tipos de loitadores que adestra o meu irmán. Teño moito combate moi intenso. Tiven a oportunidade de aprender realmente dos diferentes estilos e definitivamente axúdame.”
IVAN REDKACH
“Esta é unha loita excelente para min. Achégome a un título e vou estar preparado Xullo 30.
“Teño un plan para esta loita. Verás no ring. Vou facer desta loita emocionante.
“A loita polo título é a miña motivación, pero o meu centro céntrase plenamente Xullo 30. Todo o que fixen é levar a unha loita polo título mundial.
“Sei que o meu opoñente é hábil e moi rápido. É un bo boxeador pero veremos o que trae ao ring.
“Este é o meu primeiro campamento con Leo Santa Cruz e o seu equipo e vai moi ben. Síntome moi preparado para loitar.”
ANTONIO SANTA CRUZ, Irmán de Leo & Adestrador
“Este campamento séntese moi preto do mesmo que de costume. Meu pai (Jose) adoita ser quen nos di que facer. Estou no ring con Leo pero el segue aí. Está enfermo pero aínda vai ao ximnasio. Quere estar alí para Leo.
“Frampton é un bo loitador. Vai darlle unha boa loita ao meu irmán. Os rapaces baixos son máis difíciles para Leo, así que estamos a asegurarnos de ter combate con loitadores de todas as alturas. Frampton non será difícil de entrar pero a súa altura pode supoñer un problema.
“É un pouco máis de presión sobre min. Estou tentando mostrar ao meu pai que podo aprender e axudar a Leo a estar no seu mellor momento. Creo que vai pasar unha gran noite.”
JOSE SANTA CRUZ, O pai de Leo & Adestrador
“Eu me sinto ben. Agora mesmo vou ao ximnasio todos os días. Leo vese ben no ring e adestra moi ben.
“Pouco a pouco Antonio vai aprendendo e ata eu sigo aprendendo. Os dous estamos mellorando como adestradores e ese é o noso obxectivo, ser xenial. Sinto o amor dos meus fillos e tamén os quero moito. Estou orgulloso deles e estou orgulloso de que sexan os meus fillos.
“Leo está moi tranquilo. Non creo que Leo se vaia afectar viaxar a Nova York. Aínda que non teña a maioría dos seguidores, Non creo que lle afecte.
“Nunca se sabe como vai ser a noite de loita. Podes prepararte no ximnasio, pero ás veces, unha vez que esteas no ring, unha pelexa pode complicarse.
“Aínda que non podo chegar a Nova York, Vou ver a loita. Aínda que sexa cun ollo aberto, Vou ver.”
ROBERT GARCIA, Irmán de Mikey & Adestrador
“Mikey definitivamente quere gañar un título en 135 libras. Hai bos campións por aí, pero non necesariamente un gran nome. Finalmente, Mikey querería subir ata 140 libras onde creo que hai moitas pelexas emocionantes que se poderían facer.
“Elio é un loitador que estivo fóra por un tempo e é un ex campión do mundo. Tamén está tentando volver e facer unha declaración. Temos que estar preparados para que o rival estea no máis alto do seu xogo.
“Agora que ten unha cita e co adestramento e o sparring, Mikey estivo moi ben. Hai tempo. Podemos ver un pouco de ferruxe, un pouco de axuste ao tempo. Pero como estivo no ximnasio, contra loitadores de primeira calidade, estivo tan ben que non me estrañaría que fixera unha das súas mellores actuacións.”

Aquí está o que os participantes tiñan que dicir Xoves:
CARL Frampton
“Quero estar en loitas emocionantes. A partir de aquí na miña carreira, Quero ser grande. Quen mellor para enfrontarse que Leo Santa Cruz? Esta é unha oportunidade de deixar o meu nome na historia e converterse nun campión do mundo de dous pesos de Irlanda.
“Levo escoitando a Barry McGuigan desde que me convertín en profesional. Só quería empaparlo todo coma unha esponxa. Ten moitos coñecementos e leva moitos anos. Só teño que estar preto del e aprender. Shane fai un traballo incrible ensinándome, e entre os dous, Sinto que me estou beneficiando todos os días.
“É moi agradable estar aquí en Brooklyn, é un barrio encantador e é moi bo estar aquí en Nova York. Hai moitos afeccionados ao boxeo en Nova York e realmente creo que esta é a cidade número un para o boxeo.
“Traemos moitos rapaces de casa, e tamén espero que os irlandeses-americanos coñezan o meu nome, e todos en Brooklyn tamén. Espero sobre 1,500 fans viaxeiros de Belfast. Creo que terei máis apoio que Santa Cruz.
“Esta loita é enorme para min porque realmente quero crear un legado. Sei como fala a xente, e creo que a xente estará falando disto durante moito tempo. Quero que a xente se lembre de min como un gran loitador, iso é todo.
“Adestro moi duro para cada loita. Nin menos nin máis para Santa Cruz. Agardamos unha loita moi dura e con moita acción.
“A última vez que fun un desfavorecido foi o campionato irlandés, cando era afeccionado. Poderías terme 11:2, Eu era un enorme desvalido. Deixeino bastante cedo, entón a última vez que fun un desfavorecido, moita xente que me coñecía gañou moitos cartos. Esta vez vai ser o mesmo resultado.
“Movéndose para 126 libras foi definitivamente a decisión correcta para min. Son un gran golpeador, pero perdín poder 122 libras. Vou pegar máis e estar no meu mellor momento.
“Estou xusto na porta de todo. Estou moi emocionado pola noite de loita, vai ser unha experiencia verdadeiramente especial.
“É importante ser recoñecido nos Estados Unidos. Aquí é onde todos os grandes loitadores de todo o mundo acaban loitando, e quero moito que me recoñezan como un gran loitador.”
Paulie Malignaggi
“Creo que a miña loita con Bracero é un interesante choque de estilos. Temos estilos similares no que nos gusta boxear e contraatacar pero tamén estamos moi familiarizados. Estou seguro de que terá algo na manga para min.
“Facer este tipo de loita en todo Brooklyn é xenial para os fans. Os dous temos os nosos propios seguidores, polo que debería crear un ambiente eléctrico no Barclays Center.
“O evento principal vai ser unha gran loita. Cando miras os estilos e os pedigrees de ambos homes, é difícil prever o que vai pasar. Os dous mozos teñen estilos emocionantes, así que aposto a que os fans teñan o valor do seu diñeiro.”
Barry McGuigan, Director de Frampton, O ex Campión do Mundo & Hall of Famer
“Despois de que Carl derrotara a Scott Quigg e converteuse nun campión unificado en 122 libras, cremos que todas as loitas emocionantes desa división pasaron. Queremos participar en loitas emocionantes.
“A loita de Quigg non foi tan emocionante como quixeramos, pero sabiamos que ía ser así. Sabiamos que chegaría tarde na pelexa e tiñamos ben planificadas as nosas tácticas. Esta vai ser unha loita moito mellor porque Santa Cruz é valente e arrisca. Tamén ten habilidades de boxeo infravaloradas.
“Shane está facendo de Carl un mellor loitador cada día. Cada día que non melloras é un día que perdeches. Carl está na mellor forma física da súa carreira e teremos un plan A, B e C para esta loita.
“Santa Cruz é un gran loitador. É discreto, humilde e non falou lixo. Esta será a loita máis dura de Carl. Séntese moi ben estar implicado axudando a Carl a alcanzar o seu máximo potencial, é a segunda mellor cousa para estar ti mesmo no ring.
“Cremos 100 por cento na capacidade de Frampton para gañar esta loita e que terá éxito na noite da loita.
“Hai grandes pelexas para Carl. Estamos 100 por cento comprometido Xullo 30 pero hai moitos grandes combates na división de peso pluma. Teremos moito apoio na noite de loita e non teño dúbida de que haberá unha gran multitude irlandesa alí para apoiar a Carl.”
Shane McGuigan, Instrutor de Frampton
“Leo Santa Cruz está invicto e non hai ningunha debilidade desde a miña perspectiva. É un loitador fenomenal, pero non creo que loitara contra un loitador do calibre de Carl Frampton, como un loitador completo.
“Cando coñece a alguén que é tan bo, ou na miña opinión, mellor ca el, veremos de que está feito. Creo que vai facer unha das loitas máis emocionantes do ano.
“Non estaría asumindo esta loita porque non tiña moita confianza en Carl, aínda que está entrando como o desfavorecido. Creo que Santa Cruz nunca sentiu o poder que trae Carl antes. Creo que Carl pode gañarlle comodamente se segue preparándose ben, e despois entra no ring e fai o que é capaz de facer.
“Estamos rematando o campamento agora e asegurándonos 100 por cento lido. Temos que estar 100 por cento para loitar contra Leo Santa Cruz.
“Carl é moi pesado. É extremadamente hábil, un verdadeiro todoterreno. Realmente vive a vida, e iso ponme doado. A forma en que adestra, como come, como dorme: tómao en serio e coida de si.
“A transición que chegou a Nova York para rematar o campo de adestramento foi xenial. Poderiamos ter agardado ata máis preto da noite de loita, pero queremos que cada por cento sexa a nosa vantaxe.
“Aínda estamos aclimatando á calor, o jet lag non é problema e estaremos preparados na noite de loita.
“Esta loita é historia en proceso. É unha loita que realmente pode poñer a Carl no mapa. Sempre é unha gran oportunidade cando estás loitando por un título, contra alguén do calibre de Santa Cruz.”

BROOKLYN (Xuño 28, 2016)—Undefeated former two-division world champion Mikey Garcia will return to the ring after a two-and-a-half-year layoff on Sábado, Xullo 30 on an exciting night of boxing on ALTURA DE COMEZAR e Showtime EXTREME that is one of the strongest cards ever assembled at Barclays Centro en Brooklyn.

 

Garcia, who won world titles at featherweight and super featherweight, will fight former world champion Elio Rojas in a 10-round bout in the Showtime Championship Boxing co-feature of the Leo Santa Cruz vs. Carl Frampton event presented by Premier Boxing Champions (PBC).

 

No combate inaugural do Showtime Championship Boxing telecast that begins at 9 p.m. E/6 p.m. PT, once-beaten 154-pound contenders Tony Harrison e Sergey Rabchenko will meet in a 12-round IBF Junior Middleweight Eliminator. Harrison and Rabchenko will square off for the No. 2 mandatory challenger spot to IBF titlist Jermall Charlo, who successfully defended his crown on Maio 21, and undefeated contender Julian Williams, who earned the No. 1 mandatory position on Marzo 5, both on SHOWTIME. Harrison vs. Rabchenko is the sixth matchup in 2016 between top 154-pound fighters, a lineup showcasing three world title fights and three title elimination matches in one of boxing’s deepest divisions.

 

The combined record of the six fighters on the SHOWTIME telecast is an impressive 162-4-1 con 113 nocautes.

 

An all-Brooklyn showdown between welterweight technicians Paulie "Magic Man" Malignaggi e Gabriel “Tito” Bracero highlights the undercard action on SHOWTIME BOXING on SHOWTIME EXTREME. The 10-round bout is a matchup between a former two-division world champion, Malignaggi, and a fellow Brooklyn native, Bracero, coming off the biggest win of his career when he knocked out Danny O'Connor outubro do ano pasado.

 

Un choque de 10 xornadas entre lixeiros unha vez vencidos Ivan Redkach e raias Tevin Fazendeiro, un gañador 14 recto, will open the SHOWTIME EXTREME telecast live at 7 p.m. E/PT.

 

O Xullo 30 event at Barclays Center comes on the heels of last Saturday’s potential Fight of the Year thriller between Keith Thurman e Shawn Porter, a back-and-forth slugfest that generated the top grossing live gate and second-highest attended boxing event in venue history.

 

“This is the strongest card from top to bottom that I have promoted at Barclays Center,” said DiBella Entertainment President Lou DiBella. “Every single fight is significant and competitive, and this is a great follow up from the tremendous success that boxing had with Thurman-Porter this past weekend.”

 

“This will be our 19th evento de boxeo, but from top to bottom it’s arguably our best card yet,” said Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment CEO Brett Yormark. “We are excited to welcome undefeated Santa Cruz and Frampton to Brooklyn for the first time, a fight that could rival Barclays Center’s epic Thurman-Porter bout for Fight of the Year. It’s also a pleasure to welcome Brooklyn’s own Paulie Malignaggi back to Barclays Center for the fifth time and to host the return of Mikey Garcia after a two and a half year hiatus. Xullo 30 is going to be another big night for BROOKLYN BOXING.”

 

“We are excited to be part of Mikey Garcia’s return to the ring. Before the layoff, he was a two-division world champion and considered one of the top boxers in the world. We know he is determined to reclaim his place among the elite,", Dixo Stephen Espinoza, Vicepresidente Executivo & Director Xeral, Showtime Sports. “SHOWTIME has distinguished itself by delivering the most compelling matchups and the most important events in boxing all year long. There is no other network as committed to the sport, eo Xullo 30 evento, from top-to-bottom, is a prime example.”

 

Mikey GARCIA vs. ELIO ROJAS

“I expect to pick up right where I left off,” Garcia told SHOWTIME Sports reporter Jim Gray last Saturday on CBS. “I was a world champion, I was undefeated, and I still am. I didn’t leave because I was injured. I think I’ll come back even better. I’m hungrier now than I was before.

 

“I just have to get one fight in. This first fight with Elio (Rojas) will be somewhere between 135 e 140 libras, but I want to fight at 135 and win a title there. I want to win a title there and keep going after champion after champion. Now that all that (uncertainty) is behind me I look forward to the next stage of my career. This next stage of my career will be what people remember me for.”

 

“Mikey Garcia is a great fighter,", dixo Rojas. “I want to thank him for this opportunity. We are both former WBC World Champions and I expect a great fight. Con todo, all of the talk surrounding this fight has been about Mikey’s comeback and his future plans. I am no tune-up. This is also about me coming back and fighting again. He may be looking past me, but I am fully focused on him and securing the victory. I will do whatever I have to do to win, so I can move on and regain my world championship.”

 

Garcia (34-0, 28 Kos), de Ventura, Calif., is 28-years-old and in the prime of his career. Once considered one of the top young boxers pound-for-pound in the world, he will make his first ring appearance since he retained the WBO 130-pound title with a 12-round unanimous decision overJuan Carlos Burgos en Xan. 25, 2014. Garcia, the brother of renowned trainer Robert Garcia, has been victorious by knockout in 10 da súa última 12 fights and holds impressive victories overRoman “Rocky” Martinez, Juan Manuel López, Orlando Salido e Bernabe Concepcion.

 

Rojas (24-2, 14 Kos), of San Francisco de Macoris, República Dominicana, won the WBC featherweight world championship in 2009 with a 12-round unanimous decision over defending titleholder Takahiro Ao en Xapón. The 33-year-old successfully defended the title against Guty Espadas Jr. en 2010, before losing the belt via unanimous decision to Jhonny Gonzalez en abril 2012. Since the loss to Gonzalez, Rojas moved up to lightweight, onde derrotou Robert Osiobe en agosto 2014.

 

TONY HARRISON vs. SERGEY RABCHENKO:

“I’m thrilled to return to the ring on this big stage for my first fight in Brooklyn, and I’m ready to put on a show,"Dixo Harrison. “Fighting for a world title is my dream and I know that I have a challenge in front of me. I’m working hard in camp to get another knockout and to make my mark on the division.”

 

“This is the start of realizing my dream,” Rabchenko said. “America is the Mecca of boxing so it is a huge privilege for me to be asked to fight there. American fans like to see knockouts and I like to knock people out so I think they will like what they see. I think I can build a fan base there. I am hungrier than ever. I have not seen much of Harrison, but I am ready for anyone. People say he is a very good fighter with good power. I’m not worried. I have good power as well and I think I will have too much for him.”

 

Con só 25 anos de idade, Harrison (23-1, 19 Kos) has showed tremendous promise. He manufactured a 10-fight knockout streak from 2013 para 2015 and proved he could recover from a loss when he dominated Cecil McCalla para 10 rounds in October 2015 e deixou Fernando Guerreiro in impressive fashion in March.

 

Fighting out of Belaraus, Rabchenko (27-1, 20 Kos) is looking to put himself squarely into world title contention when he makes his U.S. estrearase no Xullo 30. The 30-year-old is coming off stoppage victories over Walter Calvo en maio 2015 and Miguel Aguilar in February.

 

Showtime EXTREME:

 

PAULIE MALIGNAGGI vs. GABRIEL bracero:

“I feel truly blessed to have yet another opportunity to fight in Brooklyn,", dixo Malignaggi. “I have known Tito a long time and I know he always comes to fight. We will give the Brooklyn fans a great appetizer before the terrific main event later that night in Barclays Center.”

 

“I’m looking to make a statement by winning this fight,” said Bracero. “Paulie and I have been friends since the amateurs and I’m thankful to have this opportunity, but he’s had his run. Now it’s time for me to have mine. This fight is going to change my life.”

 

Un ex-campión do mundo en 140 e 147 libras-, the 35-year-old Malignaggi (35-7, 7 Kos) will return to the ring to fight at Barclays Center for the fifth time. He has faced a slew of big names throughout his career and has been victorious over the likes of Zab Judah, Vyacheslav Senchenko e Pablo Cesar Cano. Nacido e creado no barrio de Bensonhurst de Brooklyn, “The Magic Man” was victorious twice fighting in his birth country of Italy last year after unsuccessfully challenging unbeaten Danny Garcia en agosto.

 

Another Brooklyn-native, Bracero (24-2, 5 Kos) comes off of a sensational one-punch knockout of rival Danny O'Connor in their rematch last October. The 35-year-old owns victories over Dmitry Salita e Pavel Miranda in addition to his first triumph over the previously unbeaten O’Connor in 2011.

 

IVAN REDKACH vs. GRANXERO DE TEVIN:

“I am extremely happy to be back in the ring on a big show in New York,” Redkach said. “There are so many Ukrainian fans in New York and I am thrilled to have their support and will put on a great show for them. I want to thank Leo Santa Cruz and his team for having me in their camp as we both prepare ourselves to put on tremendous performances come Xullo 30."

 

“I couldn’t be more excited about this fight,", dixo Farmer. “This is my Barclays Center debut and it is going to be a spectacular performance. I have called out anyone and everyone in the 130- pound division to no avail, so now I’m moving up to 135 to take on Redkach, one of the most feared punchers in the division. Redkach is an aggressive guy and I know he is coming to fight, but there is no way I leave that ring without my hand being raised. This is a fight where I can and I will make a major statement. I’m willing to fight whoever they put in front of me to inch closer to a world title opportunity and Xullo 30 is another step in that direction. I tip my hat off to Redkach for giving me this fight, but this is my time to shine.”

 

Nacido en Ucraína, pero loitando fóra dos Ánxeles, Redk (19-1-1, 15 Kos) began boxing at the age of six and has put together an impressive career since turning pro in 2009. The 30-year-old owns victories over Tony Luís, Sergey Gulyakevich e Yakubu Amidu. Máis recentemente, Redkach knocked out Erick Daniel Martinez en outubro 2015 and fought to a draw with Luís Cruz en abril.

 

Representing the fighting city of Philadelphia, Labrego (24-1-1, 5 Kos) gañou 14 bouts in a row since losing to unbeaten world champion Jose Pedraza en 2012. The 25-year-old has come on strong in recent years, upsetting previously unbeaten fighters such as Emmanuel Gonzalez, Angel Luna e Camilo Perez. Farmer dominated veteran Gamaliel Diaz in March and will make his Barclays Center debut on Xullo 30.

Lewkowicz Congratulates New WBC Super Bantamweight Champ Hugo Ruiz

Team Ruiz Sets Sights on Carl Frampton
Promoter Sampson Lewkowicz of Sampson Boxing wishes to congratulate the fighter he co-promotes (along with Oswaldo Kuchle of Promociones Del Pueblo), Hugo “Cuatito” Ruiz, for his title winning victory o sábado noite.
Fighting on the Showtime-televised co-main event last Saturday (Febreiro 27) no Honda Center de Anaheim, California, Ruiz (36-3, 32 Kos) gained revenge against Julio Cesar Ceja and took back his WBC World Super Bantamweight Championship via TKO 1 (:51 segundos).
Hugo was the fighter I knew he was tonight,” said a happy Lewkowicz. “Na primeira loita, he gave this guy too much respect. This time he came out looking to destroy him and he did.
Ruiz and Ceja met for the first time last August. A big left hook in the third round had Ceja nearly out, but Ceja landed his own hook in the fifth and ended up with a TKO victory, segundos máis tarde.
In the rematch o sábado, Ruiz dropped Ceja with one of his first few punches, sending him down hard and injuring his ankle. Ceja rose but the follow-up barrage ended matters for good.
Lewkowicz says the future is now bright for his 29-year-old fighter from Los Mochis, México.
Ceja is crying for a third fight, but we are not looking at that,” dixo Lewkowicz. “Except for one lucky punch in the first fight, Hugo has dominated him every round. We are more interested in one of the other super bantamweight champions in this exciting division.
Lewkowicz says there’s a unification fight he wants above all the rest for Ruiz. “I enjoy a good working relationship with the team behind now-unified champion Carl Frampton. We would be willing to travel to Europe to make that sensational fight happen.

Nova York (Febreiro. 27, 2016) – IBF 122-pound world champion Carl Frampton unified the super bantamweight division with a split decision victory over WBA titlist Scott Quigg Sábado on SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL from Manchester, Inglaterra.

O agardado enfrontamento de campións invictos comezou lento e táctico, pero Frampton, nativo de Belfast (22-0, 14 Kos) estableceuse como o agresor e traballou o seu jab para embolsarse as primeiras roldas. Quigg non cobrou vida ata despois do sétimo, when trainer Joe Gallagher warned his charge that he was likely down big on the judges’ scorecards.

 

QUIGG (31-1-2) golpeou o corpo e foi o agresor nas oitavas roldas 11, pero era pouco, demasiado tarde para o Lancashire, Nativo de Inglaterra. Frampton gañou o 12th e marchou o campión unificado por decenas de 115-113 para Quigg, pero 116-112 dúas veces para Frampton.

 

“I couldn’t believe it was a split,” Frampton said. “I don’t know what that lad was watching, but as long as I got my hand raised at the end of the fight, that’s the main thing.

 

“We have a great rivalry, and it was a great fight at the end. The start wasn’t great, but of course I would do it again. I’m happy to campaign at super bantamweight, but if a big fight comes calling at featherweight – Santa Cruz, Selby, any of these guys – I’m ready for them.”

 

Quigg admitted he should have pushed the action in the early rounds, but still thought he did enough to get the decision.

 

“I felt comfortable,” Quigg said. “The judges must have been counting his punches as scoring, but I thought I was blocking them. I should have started faster. I felt comfortable and I thought I was winning the rounds because he wasn’t winning clear. I’m not going to complain. Quero un desquite. Maybe next time I’ll start a bit earlier.”

Here’s what Frampton and Quigg had to say as they approachSábado loita:

 

CARL Frampton:

“I have wanted this fight for a long, hai moito tempo. I thrive on the big occasions and there are not many bigger than a domestic super fight.

 

“I won my world title on a massive stage, Scott Quigg was handed his title after a draw. He has fought on big cards but not as a bill-topper and I genuinely don’t know if he will be able to handle this level of pressure. I’m going to use all of my experience to outbox, outfight and outgun Scott Quigg.

 

“We’ve been chasing these boys for years. They didn’t want it, end of story. Then all it took was one below par performance from me to convince his team that they should finally take the fight. If that first round in my last fight is what they’re basing their hopes of victory on then Scott is in for a big, big shock.

 

“I’ve had the best training camp of my career, I’m in the shape of my life and I’m going to become the unified Super Bantamweight World Champion.

 

“First and foremost I’m doing this for my family. I have two beautiful kids and both Christine (Frampton) and I want the best for them, that’s what drives me and makes me so focused on being the best in the world.

 

“I am 100 percent dedicated to the sport of boxing, I spend twelve-weeks in training camp in London away from home, only getting to go home a handful of times and I do this so I can be the best I possibly can.

 

“People have said Quigg trains like a machine. I can tell you I train every bit as hard if not harder, but I’m no machine. I don’t need to be programmed in order to perform.

 

“Shane (McGuigan) is a brilliant coach, I’ve been saying it all along. But now people are sitting up and taking notice. Shane and I work hard on tactics and techniques when we approach every fight, but we both know that if tactics need tweaking mid fight I can think my way through a contest. Scott Quigg can’t.”

 

SCOTT QUIGG:

“This is the perfect time now for this fight. We’re both world champions, we’re both undefeated, and I believe this is the perfect time for me to go out there and do a job on him.

 

“It’s a fight I’ve wanted for a long time. It’s a fight that’s been brewing for a long time. Seeing Carl sign on the dotted line meant that I was one step closer to achieving everything I’ve worked towards; becoming the best.

 

“I’ve always wanted the chance to prove I’m the best. Now the fight’s been made, I’m one million per cent confident that I’m going win in spectacular fashion. I can win on points, but I will knock out Carl Frampton.

 

“No-one expected me to get Kiko out of there early. If I’d have stopped him late or won on points, then Carl had already done that, so the only way I could get credit or show people what I am capable of was KO him early.

 

“With Carl and his performance in the States, they handpicked (Alejandro) Gonzalez from a list of opponents because they thought that he would be the easiest one. They wanted to go over there and look good in his U.S. debut so the Americans would rave about him – and he nearly came unstuck.

 

“We respect each other as fighters. You don’t become a world champion by chance, there’s a lot of hard work and a lot of talent involved. But they are in for a shock because they think I can only fight one way. They don’t think I can’t adapt and I’ll just come steaming forward. Maybe I will do that, but if I do come steaming forward, it’s because I am going to KO him.

 

“People are saying now that because I’ve been knocking guys out quite early that I’ve been going out for the stoppages, but that’s not the case. I’ve been going out and I’ve been boxing.

 

“If I land clean on any super bantamweight or featherweight in the world, I will knock them out. Así, it’s about just making sure I pick the right time and I open the gaps. And when the gaps are there then I’ll take them.

 

“I don’t take any notice of whether I’ve got the crowd behind me or whether it is behind my opponent, but I know for a fact that he takes comfort from having a lot of support. When he’s taken away from that, he shows his vulnerabilities. I think that will affect him.

 

“The Irish are very passionate about the sport and they know their boxing inside-out. They get behind their man and they will create a great atmosphere. The atmosphere is going to go off even more because we’re both at the top of our game and there’s a lot riding on this. There’s a lot of pride at stake – it’s going to be electric.”

 

“I got into boxing to become world champion. I’ve done that and now I’ve set new goals to reach greater heights because I want to challenge myself every day.

 

“Ricky Hatton became a crossover star and was a hit in the US. He took 40,000 Brits to Las Vegas and became a global star. That’s the next goal that I’ve set for myself and I can make it if I keep working hard, maintain my dedication and focus.

 

“Getting this fight now on SHOWTIME in the U.S. is the first step. I’ll go out and do a job on Carl, win in a spectacular fashion and that’s going to give me a boost for my profile in the U.S.

 

“I am not going to give the WBA belt up. Quero loitar cos mellores. Guillermo Rigondeaux is next because that’s what the WBA have ordered.

 

“My focus is on beating Carl. We’ll look at fighting the best out there after that. I’ve always said, ‘I’m out to fight the best and beat the best.’ So, I’m obviously going to fight Rigondeaux. I’m not scared of fighting him. I’m not shying away from the challenge. I thrive on that sort of task and fighting Rigondeaux – who’s rightly so ranked No. 1 in the division because of what he’s achieved – would be a huge challenge. I honestly believe that if the time comes and we fight, I can beat him.”

 

Shane McGuigan, Instrutor de Frampton:

“There is a lot of debate about who hits harder between Frampton and Quigg. I know Carl Frampton is the hardest punching Super Bantamweight in the world.

 

“One thing you can’t argue about is who has the better pedigree and who has the better boxing brain. Carl wins hands down in both departments and he is going to show this in brutal and clinical fashion.

 

“Carl can box off the back foot, he can fight on the front foot and he has devastating one-punch power.”

 

Barry McGuigan, Frampton’s Promoter:

“Carl is always so cool when the heat is on him, he steps up to the plate and delivers.

 

“Even in his last fight when he didn’t get off to a great start, Carl still managed to pull himself together and do what was needed to get the win.

 

“He’s a natural born winner. I had to work very hard just to be able to compete at world level. I think the same can be said of Scott Quigg, but for Carl it comes more naturally. Couple this with his incredible work ethic and that is why Carl Frampton is the best in the world.”
