Això és el que els participants de la conferència de premsa van dir dijous des del Dream Hotel Downtown de Manhattan:

 

DANNY GARCIA

 

 

 

“Sé que sóc el millor lluitador complet. Puc fer més al ring que Shawn Porter, període. Ho demostraré dissabte.

 

 

 

“Significa el món per a mi recuperar aquest cinturó. Aquest és un nou capítol de la meva carrera. He estat en moltes baralles grans. Sóc un campió experimentat. Aquesta és una oportunitat per recuperar alguna cosa que era meva. Aquest és un dels moments en què he de sortir i demostrar-me.

 

 

 

“El meu estil és totalment diferent al de Keith Thurman, així que espero que Shawn no surti d'aquesta baralla. Sé que sóc millor boxejador que Shawn Porter i m'asseguraré que tots els altres també ho sàpiguen.

 

 

 

“Vull unir-me absolutament amb Errol Spence Jr. després de guanyar. Vull les baralles més grans. Aquest seria el meu quart títol mundial. Tot el que he fet mai és enfrontar-me a tots els que em van posar al davant i m'he guanyat aquestes baralles enormes.

 

 

 

“Això no és res nou per a mi. He actuat en aquest nivell durant molt de temps. He treballat molt. El dissabte a la nit aconseguiré aquesta victòria perquè sóc el millor lluitador i un veritable campió.

 

 

 

“Estic increïblement motivat, però sé que de vegades a la vida si vols alguna cosa massa, no ho entens. He aconseguit molt en aquest esport. Això només afegirà més maquinari a la meva col·lecció.

 

 

 

“No vaig assumir cap càstig a la baralla de Thurman. Podria haver tornat dos mesos després. Sé que podria haver començat abans i ser més implacable, però només ho portaré en aquesta lluita i ho faré el millor possible.”

 

SHAWN PORTER

 

 

 

“La manera com vaig a guanyar aquesta lluita canviarà la conversa al pes welter. Us haureu de preguntar si Errol Spence Jr. i Terrence Crawford tenen el que cal per vèncer-me. Estic aquí per fer un gran espectacle, guanya aquest títol i fes-ho d'una manera espectacular

 

 

 

“Estic acostumat a ser el desfavorit. He molestat la gent abans. Tinc ganes de fer el que calgui per ser aquell que ho faci.

 

 

 

“Els estils fan baralles. D'una manera o altra, Estic preparat per fer el que sigui necessari per guanyar aquesta lluita. No hi ha res que hagi desitjat més en tota la meva vida que això. Estic aquí per agafar-ho.

 

 

 

“Qualsevol cosa que vingui en Danny, m'ho prenc. És meu. El que sigui necessari, No m'aturaré dissabte a la nit.

 

 

 

“Això significa el món per a mi. Aquest és el meu objectiu. Sóc una persona orientada a objectius. No sabia quan lluitaria per aquest títol del CMB, Sabia que aquest era el meu moment. Aquest títol té molt llinatge i història que l'acompanya i vull formar-ne part.

 

 

 

“Ara estic marcant el to del que Danny hauria d'esperar de la nit de lluita. Ha tingut això abans, però aquest és el meu objectiu i aquest títol mundial és el meu per prendre.

 

 

 

“En Danny ha de saber que puja al ring amb un toro. Això no serà fàcil 12 rondes. Faré que guanyi cada centímetre.”

 

YORDENIS UGAS

 

 

 

“És un honor formar part d'una carta tan gran al Barclays Center. Vaig a fer el que necessito fer. Faré una gran actuació, i la resta es farà càrrec.

 

 

 

“Crec que he estat el lluitador més constant en pes welter durant els últims dos anys. Si m'ocupo dels negocis dissabte, la propera serà una prova del títol mundial.

 

 

 

“El meu oponent intentarà fer-se un gran nom, però la meva feina és estudiar-lo i fer ajustos al ring per treure'l d'allà.”

 

CESAR BARRIONUEVO

 

 

 

“Estic molt content d'estar en aquesta posició. Serà una gran lluita i serà el meu anunci als EUA. Estic molt preparat per actuar en aquest escenari.

 

 

 

“Sé que el meu poder i la meva implacabilitat faran d'aquesta una lluita emocionant per als aficionats. Espero que l'Ugas no em subestimi, perquè vull que estigui en el seu millor moment.

 

 

 

“Lluitar a Brooklyn és emocionant. No podria estar en un escenari més emocionant o perfecte per a aquesta lluita. Dissabte es convertirà en la nit que tothom recorda per la meva arribada.”

 

ADAM Kownacka

 

 

 

“Després de dissabte a la nit, tothom sabrà el meu nom. Sóc el següent gran pes pesat aquí a Amèrica. Vull fer el meu esquitxat a l'escena nacional.

 

 

 

“L'any passat contra Artur Szpilka va ser un aperitiu i aquest és el meu plat principal per donar-me a conèixer com una amenaça per a tots els pes pesat..

 

 

 

“No puc esperar per escoltar l'afició polonesa i veure els blancs i vermells. Serà un altre ambient increïble i definitivament vindré a enviar feliços aquests aficionats a casa.

 

 

 

“Sento que he anat millor i millor a mesura que tinc més reconeixement. Una lluita pel títol mundial no està tan lluny en el meu futur. Estic centrat a vèncer primer Charles Martin i deixar que la meva actuació parli per si sola.”

 

CHARLES MARTIN

 

 

 

“Hi entraré i faré un espectacle. Vaig a tornar a la posició que vull ser. Això és al capdavant de la divisió de pes pesat.

 

 

 

“Estic en forma fenomenal. Fa dos mesos i mig que treballo molt. Tornem a on hem d'estar i ho veureu dissabte.

 

 

 

“L'entrenament a l'altitud a Califòrnia és dur, però és fantàstic un cop arribes aquí i et sentis genial. Per això treballes tant per posar-te en forma, així pots ser el doble de bo a la nit de lluita.

 

 

 

“Hi ha molts grans peses pesants per aquí. M'alegro que la gent li doni l'aclamació que es mereix. Crec que tots aquests nois són vencebles i espero tenir l'oportunitat de demostrar-ho.”

 

AMANDA SERRANO

 

 

 

“Estic molt agraït de tenir aquesta gran oportunitat de tornar a fer història. Faré un espectacle tremend com sempre faig i donaré als seguidors de la meva ciutat natal alguna cosa per animar.

 

 

 

“Vine dissabte a la nit, Estic molt emocionat d'aconseguir aquest títol en una sisena divisió. Em posa allà amb dos dels millors lluitadors de tots els temps a Oscar De La Hoya i Manny Pacquiao.. He guanyat tots els meus títols per nocaut i he de mantenir aquesta ratxa dissabte a la nit.

 

 

 

“Guanyar aquesta lluita ho és tot. Espero que estic fent alguna cosa fantàstica per a les joves llatines que s'apropen a l'esport. Continuaré trencant aquestes barreres i un dia consolidaré el meu llegat al Saló de la Fama.”

 

Lou DiBella, El president de DiBella Entertainment

 

 

 

“Aquest serà un espectacle sensacional aquest dissabte a la nit al Barclays Center. Això és tan bo com es fa. Ho he dit diverses vegades durant els últims anys, i això és bo. Aquest és un altre espectacle carregat de talent i té un esdeveniment principal sensacional entre dos dels millors lluitadors del món, amb estils que combinaran molt bé.

 

 

 

“García vs. Porter és una lluita que no es pot perdre. El guanyador s'establirà com un dels millors de la divisió de pes welter i de tota la boxa. Realment no hi haurà perdedor, perquè no hi ha manera que aquest no sigui un xoc ple d'acció que aixequi els dos homes als ulls dels fans.

 

 

 

“En aquest programa hi ha una carta de fons fantàstica que inclou un talent increïble fora de la televisió. Sempre tenim una forta representació de Brooklyn i aquest espectacle no és diferent amb les perspectives emergents invictes Chris Colbert, Richardson Hitchins i Chordale Booker. Més, La pròpia Amanda Serrano de Brooklyn busca fer història una vegada més.”

 

Chris DeBlasio, Vicepresidenta de Comunicació Esportiva, Showtime Networks Inc.

 

 

 

“Ens hem establert com a líders de la indústria durant una època increïble per a la boxa. Hem lliurat la llista més gran de boxa en directe, amb els millors lluitadors en els enfrontaments més importants. El nostre compromís continuarà sent inigualable.

 

 

 

“En 2018, hem lliurat 26 esdeveniments de boxa en directe i 22 baralles de títol mundial, molt més que ningú. No és només la quantitat, però la qualitat. Hem tingut diverses de les millors baralles 2018 i han presentat fins ara tres unificacions pel títol mundial i quatre lluites pel títol mundial femení.

 

 

 

“L'acte principal de dissabte és a 50-50 enfrontament que tothom, des de Sugar Ray Leonard i Manny Pacquaio fins a Errol Spence Jr. i Keith Thurman han vist com una lluita de tota acció on és difícil escollir un guanyador. Danny i Shawn han estat presentats pel nostre equip de SHOWTIME 20 vegades. Els hem vist arribar a la majoria d'edat, aconseguir l'estrellat i fins i tot navegar per contratemps. Tot plegat porta a aquesta lluita de dissabte a la nit.”

 

BRETT Yormark, CEO de BSE Global

 

 

 

“Fa sis anys que som a Brooklyn. Hem allotjat 260 extrems, 46 lluites pel títol i el setembre 8, nostre 30º gran nit de BROOKLYN BOXING™. Des del principi hem volgut apostar per l'esport i ho hem fet.

 

 

 

“Lluites com el dissabte ens ajuden a destacar d'altres llocs del mercat. Tenim dues de les millors i més brillants estrelles de l'esport dissabte a la nit i no podem esperar que entrin al ring. Donem la benvinguda a aquells que tornen al nostre ring com Amanda Serrano, Adam Kownacki i Charles Martin, i també donem la benvinguda a Ugas i Barrionuevo, per les seves primeres baralles a Brooklyn.

 

 

 

“Aquest és realment un moment emocionant per a tot l'esport de la boxa. Continuarem arribant a les masses i oferint un suport sense precedents als nostres esdeveniments de boxa. Les entrades es mouen ràpidament i hauria de ser una altra nit elèctrica. D'això es tracta BROOKLYN BOXING™.”

García, juntament amb el pare i entrenador Àngel Garcia, va mostrar les seves habilitats i va parlar sobre el seu pròxim enfrontament i més del DSG Boxing Gym de Filadèlfia. Això és el que van dir dimecres:

 

DANNY GARCIA

 

 

 

“Un cop estiguis allà amb mi, no és el mateix que ningú. No és el mateix que el que esperes que sigui. Estàs a punt d'un despertar groller.

 

 

 

“He eliminat molts lluitadors per primera vegada, així que no em sorprendrà si noqueo a Shawn Porter per primera vegada.

 

 

 

“Shawn havia de tenir una certa habilitat per arribar a aquest nivell, no tot va ser baralla. No estic prenent res lluny d'ell. Estem preparats per al millor Shawn Porter.

 

 

 

“Aquesta és una altra oportunitat per convertir-me en quatre vegades campió del món i això m'emociona. Encara sento que el títol del CMB és meu, així que estic encara més disposat a recuperar-lo.

 

 

 

“Recuperar aquest títol mundial és del que es tracta. Sé que sempre seré un gran lluitador. Ompli els seients i faig grans baralles, per això Shawn va venir a mi després de la meva victòria contra Brandon Rios pel seu moment de glòria.

 

 

 

“No puc classificar Porter contra els altres millors lluitadors de la meva carrera. Hauré de veure què porta quan puguem al ring. He lluitat contra molts grans oponents i ell és el següent en aquesta línia.

 

 

 

“A la boxa diuen com més llances, més obert estàs per rebre un cop. La perforació de volum ha de ser eficaç. Sóc el boxejador més esmolat i els cops més nets. Això és més el meu estil. Ens hem preparat 12 rondes dures de qualsevol estil.

 

 

 

“Després de quatre rondes, es pot saber com de fort és un lluitador i el seu bon condicionament. Es tracta de la força de voluntat després d'un cert nombre de rondes i ho porto bé.

 

 

 

“Hem tingut un combat perfecte amb nois que simplement s'apropen i et fan pressió. Hem tingut més grans, nois més pesats i uns nois que punxen i boxen com ho fa el Porter.

 

 

 

“Hi haurà molt suport de Philly el setembre 8. Sóc un gran atractiu a Brooklyn i faré una altra nit èpica per als esports de Philly.”

 

ÀNGEL GARCÍA, Pare de Danny & Entrenador

 

 

 

“A Porter realment no li preocupa el poder de Danny, però ho hauria de ser. No estic boig per això, És millor que no tingui excuses en aquest ring. Perquè en Danny no es tracta d'excuses.

 

 

 

“Estem treballant dur i estarem preparats per a qualsevol cosa que Shawn Porter cregui que té a la màniga.. Si entra corrent, està jugant a les mans de Danny.

 

 

 

“Danny és una estrella i ho tornarà a demostrar en aquesta lluita. Sempre fa una actuació estrella i aquest serà un altre escenari perquè brilli.”

MINNEAPOLIS (Abril 14, 2018) – Contendent de pes welter Jamal James (23-1, 10 KOs) earned a hard fought majority decision over Abel Ramos (18-3-2, 13 KOs) in front of his hometown fans Friday night in the main event of Lliga de Campions de Boxa a FS1 i FOX Esports de l'Armeria de Minneapolis.

 

 

 

It feels so great to get this win in Minneapolis in front of all of my people here,” va dir James, “Ramos was a tough opponent who gave me a great challenge, but I was able to keep my composure and give the fans a win.

 

 

 

James used his 6-foot-2 frame and reach advantage to beat Ramos to the punch in round one, but was clipped in round two by a left hook from the game Ramos that had the local favorite in temporary trouble and on the defensive.

 

 

 

The Minneapolis-native was able to regain his composure and return to the offensive as he poured right hands behind a strong jab along with movement that made it difficult for Ramos to land cleanly. Ramos continued to charge forward however, emphasizing body shots that slowed James down and allowed him to win rounds.

 

 

 

I had to dig down tonight but I think it was a good fight for me to grind out,” va dir James. “I’m going to keep getting better and I hope to have a chance to display my talents at home again. I know if I keep working, I’m going to get a chance to prove myself against the best out there.

 

 

 

James was able to send the hometown fans happy after 10 rondes, with judges giving him the majority decision by scores of 95-95 i 96-94 dues vegades.

 

 

 

The telecast also featured a spirited 10-round lightweight clash that saw Edner Cherry (37-7-2, 19 KOs)earn a close but unanimous decision over Dennis Galarza(16-3, 9 KOs).

 

 

 

Galarza controlled the early action with his jab and a powerful right hand that appeared to have Cherry stunned in the first round. His length advantage was key until Cherry was able to establish position on the inside.

 

 

 

Cherry began to land several powerful shots on Galarza with both hands in the middle rounds, backing Galarza up and taking away much of power on his shots. Galarza tried to back off and box Cherry more down the stretch, but was unable to avoid the oncoming Cherry as often as he needed.

 

 

 

Després 10 rounds all three judges favored the work of Cherry by scores of 97-93 i 96-94 dues vegades.

 

 

 

In a battle of unbeaten prospects, Chris Colbert (8-0, 2 KOs) scored a TKO victory over Austin Dulay (11-1, 8 KOs)after seven rounds of lightweight action.

 

 

 

Colbert was first to the punch from the outset, landing straight right hands cleanly before flummoxing Dulay by switching to the southpaw stance. Colbert scored a knockdown in round six with a combo punctuated by a powerful body shot. After a dominant seventh round, referee Mark Nelson stopped the fight after checking on Dulay in his corner.

 

 

 

Additional action saw 6-foot-6 unbeaten prospect SebastianThe Towering InfernoFondora (9-0, 5 KOs) stop previously unbeaten Veshawn Owens (9-1, 9 KOs)a 2:27 of the fifth round of their super welterweight fight and 17-year-old former amateur standout Joey Spencer (2-0, 2 KOs)deliver a dominant TKO 51 seconds into the first round against Ousmane Sylla (1–3-1, 1 KO) in a super welterweight contest.

Jamal James wants to shine bright in homecoming bout against Abel Ramos

 

 

 

The sounds of a boxing gym can be intimidating. There is a rhythmic, cacophony of speed bags, and heavy bags and mitt work going on simultaneously-and all with authoritative whoomps!

 

 

 

It can reach such a pitch that you could barely hear yourself talk. Just imagine being four-year-old Jamal James and the wide-eyed wonderment he had when his mother took him to the Circle of Discipline gym on the south side of Minneapolis, Minnesota.

 

 

 

The intimidation lasted maybe a second. The next thing the rambunctious James did was mimic the fighters he saw, throwing his tiny hands at the bags, fitting his whole arm into a glove. Twenty-cinc anys després in that same gym, everyone now mimics James.

 

 

 

After a sea of amateur and professional wins, under the guidance of Sankara Frazier, who’s been as much a father as he’s been a trainer, James (22-1, 10 KOs) will be seen by not just the Circle of Discipline gym, but by the city of Minneapolis and the nation when he takes on Abel Ramos (18-2-2, 13 KOs) in a scheduled 10-round welterweight fight on Friday, Abril 13, at the Minneapolis Armory on a Premier Boxing Champions on FS1 and FOX Deportes live (9PM ET/6PM PT).

 

 

 

Also featured on the card will be veteran Edner Cherry against Dennis Galarza in a lightweight co-main event, and Austin Dulay taking on Chris Colbert in a matchup of unbeaten super featherweights.

 

 

 

For the 29-year-old James, this will mark the first time in five years that the 6-foot-2 welterweight has fought on his home turf. It’s been a long journey for someone who was once a kid introduced to boxing holding his mother’s hand.

 

 

 

Jamal took to boxing, almost immediately,” Frazier recalled. “It’s kind of funny, because he had a little temper on him, just like I did when I began. There was one time a kid who was more experience than Jamal got the better of him, and Jamal jumped the boy, took his head gear off and tried to choke the kid.

 

 

 

We still laugh about it today. But Jamal, al principi, was a handful. He would whine and complain about doing certain things, and remember, he was still a kid. I would tell him to cut that whining out and it wasn’t so much for the purpose of learning boxing, but to get Jamal to understand at that age what work ethic and discipline was about. He could hardly hold his arms up when he had the big gloves on. You could see Jamal loved being around boxing.

 

 

 

James’ goal growing up was to one day be an Olympian. Though what so often happens to other teenaged fighters coming up through the amateur system in the United States, James was discouraged. He needed to grow into his body, massa, since he was always tall for his weight class.

 

 

 

I had a meeting with the whole crew, who I had since they were little kids, when they were teenagers and I told them they could be really good,” Frazier recalled. “I let them know there would one or two of them that would go on and do further things. I told them what would get them there is discipline and focus.

 

 

 

There were only a few kids that were working on that part of it, and one of them was Jamal. You see with him now. My thing is I don’t talk to my kids or fighting professional, but boxing is something a person has to want to do, and if money comes with it, gran. Boxing is a tough game and you need to be disciplined and focused with it.

 

 

 

James has one pro loss on his record, and it’s to the very talented Yordenis Ugas in August 2016. James was just coming off an impressive win against Wale Omotoso a month earlier.

 

 

 

The loss against Ugas I take as a good lesson,” va dir James, whose rangy 6-2 frame makes it tough for any welterweight to get inside his jab. “I thought I was in shape against Ugas, and I was too slow on the trigger and I fought his fight.

 

 

 

I found out there that you have to prepare fully for any fight you take. I tried to push the envelope a little too hard for that one. My reflexes weren’t there. I’ll say I wasn’t overlooking Ugas, I’ll say I was overly confident for that fight, en aquest temps. I had no losses and I was feeling good about himself.

 

 

 

Now James is on a great stage-his home. The renovated Minneapolis Armory is a historic venue that hosted nearly 100 cards between 1915-1973, including shows headlined by one of the greatest welterweights ever – Sugar Ray Robinson.

 

 

 

I know Abel Ramos is a tough fighter, and I know he’ll come and bring it,” James said. “He’s not coming to my backyard just to lay down. I know he’s coming to fight and I embrace that challenge. If I’m going to be a world champion one day, I’m going to have to take on guys like this, and deal with this kind of pressure.

 

 

 

I’m going to make sure the other guy is going to remember my name. The storm is coming right here at home. I’m opening the door for these guys coming up behind me.

 

Like the older guys once held the door for him.

Confidence not lacking in Chris Colbert’s arsenal

 

 

Doubt, they say, is the privilege of those who’ve lived a long time. En 21, Chris Colbert hasn’t earned that right yet. No obstant això, age may do nothing to blunt his hubris.

 

 

 

In boxing you have to stay focused, stay humble and stay ready. I’m still working on the humble part,” Chris Colbert laughs.

 

 

 

His trash talking may offend some, but it’s hard to stay humble when your talent has you feeling like Cassius Clay in Olympic Village.

 

 

 

I’m a ‘lights, càmera, action guy,” he boasts. “I love the lights, I love the camera, and I’m definitely all about that action.

 

 

 

Colbert (7-0, 2 KOs) has backed up his bravado so far. The undefeated featherweight prospect will make his television debut on FS1 and FOX Deportes against Austin Dulay at the Armory in Minneapolis, Minnesota on Friday.

 

 

 

Some will watch hoping the cocksure kid gets knocked off. But Colbert is already a winner, no matter what happens going forward. His isn’t a story of one who did it the right way. It’s a tale of one who did it la seva way.

 

 

 

Colbert was born and raised in the harsh Flatbush area of Brooklyn. Ell, his mother, and nine siblings lived together under an ever-changing roof that included two stints in the local shelter.

 

 

 

My family really wasn’t that close,” Colbert says. “I was the middle child, the independent one. Així, I was always by myself, going out and being in the streets alone.

 

 

 

Colbert was a good student growing up. But by the time he finished middle school, he was spending most of his time on corners, where his diminutive size made him an easy mark.

 

 

 

I didn’t run from those fights,” he recalls. “I guess in a way, I took out my frustrations on others through street fighting. But that’s where it ended. I never got arrested or caught up with drugs and stuff. I knew what came after that and no matter what, I always believed my future would be bright.

 

 

 

Colbert got his first taste of boxing at age 13, when he became hooked on the build-up for the Floyd Mayweather-Shane Mosley fight.

 

 

 

I saw how much money Floyd makes fighting and I told myself, ‘I fight in the streets every day. Why don’t I get paid for it?'

 

 

 

The universe agreed. Shortly after, Colbert got into an argument with a friend. The friend suggested they settle it in the ring at Atlas Cops & Kids Boxing Gym. Atlas is a Brooklyn landmark, a mentoring center for neighborhood children started by retired New York police officer Pat Russo and former boxing trainer Teddy Atlas.

 

 

 

I knew I was home soon as I walked in,” Colbert says. “I kept looking around, seeing the culture there, and I remembered watching Mayweather at the gym. I walked up to a coach and said, ‘I’m going to be the best fighter you got in this gym.He thought I was joking. I came every day for three years straight.

 

 

 

Once I started going to the gym, my life was all about boxing. I used to go to school and I wasn’t focused, not doing the work. But I told the teachers, ‘I’m good. I’m going to be a boxer.They all told me that I wasn’t going to make it.

 

 

 

Colbert would meet future trainer and father-figure Aureliano Sosa at Atlas. It was Sosa who christened him “Lil’ B-Hop.

 

 

 

They called me that because they said I fought like Bernard Hopkins; the way he taunts people and all that stuff,” Colbert says. “Then one day I’m at a press conference and someone shouted my nickname. Hopkins turned around thinking they were calling him. That’s how we met. We’ve been close ever since.

 

 

 

Hopkins advises his namesake, sharing insights on the game and warning him of the pitfalls ahead. “Lil B-Hopimmersed himself in boxing, studying Mayweather, Pernell Whitaker and Andre Ward to incorporate parts of their style into his own. Colbert possesses fast hands and feet, and is comfortable fighting either orthodox or southpaw. He’s registered only two stoppages but believes that will change once he acquiresgrown man strength.

 

 

 

No obstant això, Colbert’s newfound love didn’t alter fortunes at home. Just as the U.S. Nationals were about to begin, he and his family were evicted.

 

 

 

I was really going through it,” ell diu. “Like damn, I never wanted people to know my business. That’s how I am with everything. I always kept things to myself. Being in the shelter again, trying to get ready to compete in a fight was one of the hardest things I had to go through.

 

 

 

Colbert went on to win that 2015 Nationals championship. He became the No. 3-ranked fighter nationally at 114 pounds and No. 1 a 123, earning an opportunity to qualify for the Olympics.

 

 

 

Però “the politics of the gameand perhaps the allure of making money convinced him to turn pro at 18. It appears he made the right decision. Al novembre passat, he fought in his first eight-rounder, outpointing Titus Williams in a battle of undefeated Big Apple prospects.

 

 

 

En paper, Dulay is the toughest opponent of his career. Following an amateur career that included over 120 victòries, the Tennessee native is 11-0 amb 8 KOs as a pro.

 

 

 

These aren’t fights they’re giving me,” Colbert says. “This is what I’m asking for. A lot of these world champions came up taking the easy route. They’ll be 27-0 and haven’t fought an undefeated fighter. Només ho sóc 7-0 and I’m up to my third undefeated fighter. And I plan to keep wiping them out.

 

 

 

Along with this early crossroads fight, his long-time girlfriend is pregnant with his first child, a son. Colbert’s approaching both the fight and parenting with the same confidence that got him to this point.

 

 

 

After I turned pro, I said to my teachers, ‘I told y’all.’ Ara, I’m doing this to better myself, better my community and to give my son the kind of life I didn’t have. I’m just waiting on my turn to shine. You could hate it or love it, but no matter what, stay tuned.

Super-Sized Super Welterweight, Sebastià Fundora, Relaxed and Confident Going Into Action This Friday Against Also Undefeated KO Artist Veshawn Owens

 

It takes a big man to go into another undefeated fighter’s hometown and take him down, but as the biggest super welterweight in boxing history, SebastianThe Towering InfernoFundora is more than up to the task.

 

 

 

 

The 6-foot-6 Fundora (8-0, 4 KOs) will face Minnesota-based KO artist Veshawn Owens (9-0, 9 KOs) aquest divendres, Abril 13, in an eight-round showdown at the Armory in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The pair will meet on the undercard of the Premier Boxing Champions on FOX & FOX Deportes event featuring hometown welterweight Jamal James taking on Abel Ramos (9:00 p.m. I / 6:00 p.m. PT)

 

 

 

 

Presented by Warriors Boxing and TGB Promotions, the event will also see rugged veteran Edner Cherry battling rising lightweight Dennis Galarza in a 10-round bout and Austin Dulay and Chris Colbert clashing in an eight-round match between unbeaten super featherweight prospects. Also appearing on the card is sensational 17-year-old 154-pound prospect Joey Spencer (1-0, 1 KO), a former No. 1 ranked amateur and nine-time national champion.

 

Les entrades per a l'esdeveniment en viu, which is, ja estan a la venda i estan disponibles visitant-los www.ArmoryMN.com.

 

 

 

 

I’ve fought in other people’s backyards and I’ve already beaten undefeated fighters too, so I’m used to this,” said Fundora, a confident 20-year-old southpaw from Coachella, Califòrnia. “I don’t know much about Owens, but it feels great being able to fight tougher opponents. People are now able to view my full capabilities, instead of knocking guys out in the first round and it doesn’t mean as much.

 

 

 

 

With a heavyweight’s reach and height, Fundora is massive for a 154-lb fightera natural gift he works on in the gym to its full advantage.

 

 

 

 

We trained hard and worked a lot on distance and a lot more power and strength for this fight. I’m not just the biggest, I’m also stronger than anybody else. We started training for this in January. Després de la meva última baralla, a Argentina, I took a week off and then started working on conditioning in Big Bear. It’s been a great camp.

 

 

 

 

Fundora’s promoter, Sampson Lewkowicz de Sampson Boxing, diu “The Towering Infernois more than agimmick fighter.

 

 

 

 

He’s for real,” va dir Lewkowicz. “He’s already beaten some good fighters. How he puts all that size and strength into 154 lliures., I do not know, but Fundora is too big for anyone at this weight. You have to get inside on him and it’s just too far to go because he’s punishing you for every inch you try to take.

 

 

 

 

I’m more than happy with the way things are going,” continued Fundora. “A victory in this fight would be a good stepping stone to hopefully fight for a regional belt next. I will have a lot of opportunities after I win.

MINNEAPOLIS (Abril 10, 2018) – Lliga de Campions de Boxa kicks off the 2018 season on FS1 and FOX Deportes on Friday, Abril 13 with five action-packed bouts on a three-hour televised show from the Armory in Minneapolis, featuring welterweight contender Jamal James lluitant Abel Ramos in a 10-round main event in front of his hometown crowd.

The event marks the return of boxing to the Minneapolis Armory, a historic venue that hosted nearly 100 cards between 1915 i 1973, including a show headlined by all-time great Sugar Ray Robinson in 1942.

 

 

 

This show is the perfect example of what Premier Boxing Champions on FS1 and FOX Deportes is all aboutboxers at various stages of their career, each with something to prove in all action matches,” va dir Tim Smith, Vicepresident de Comunicacions de Haymon Boxing. “The stakes are raised for Jamal James because he’s fighting in front of his hometown crowd and yo get in title the mix at 147 pounds and Abel Ramos wants to spoil all of that.

 

 

 

Veteran Edner Cherry, who has tangled with Paulie Malignaggi and Timothy Bradley, and Dennis Galarza are both looking fighting to get into title contention. And it’s rare for unbeaten prospects like Austin Dulay and Chris Colbert to clash this soon in their careers. It all promises to be an exciting night of boxing on a night when the sports calendar isn’t crowded.

 

 

 

James (22-1, 10 KOs) is coming off the biggest victory of his careera knockout over tough veteran Diego Chaves on Dec. 15. The 29-year-old James joined unified 147-pound champion Keith Thurman as the only boxer to have knocked out the durable Argentine. It was James second straight victory since suffering the only loss of his careera unanimous decision defeat to Yordenis Ugas on Aug. 12, 2016. James hasn’t fought in his hometown of Minneapolis since he scored a unanimous decision over Mohammed Kayongo in 2013.

 

 

 

Ramos (18-2-2, 13 KOs) will complete his move to the welterweight division by taking on James after making his welterweight debut with a stoppage of Emmanuel Robles last July. The 26-year-old out of Arizona has won three of his last four fights and his only pro defeats have come at the hands of top 140-pound contenders Regis Prograis and Ivan Baranchyk.

 

 

 

Cirera (36-7-2, 19 KOs) has defeated once-beaten contenders Haskell Rhodes and Omar Douglas since losing a split decision to Jose Pedraza in a 130-pound world title match in 2015. The 35-year-old Cherry of Wauchula, Florida has previously challenged Tim Bradley and Paulie Malignaggi during his career that included a 10-fight win streak after the Bradley bout.

 

 

 

Galarza (16-2, 9 KOs), an outstanding amateur boxer, is stepping up in competition with this matchup against the more experienced Cherry. The 25-year-old Galarza, who’s from Brooklyn but trains in Orlando, has won three straight fights since losing a split decision to Cesar Alan Valenzuela on Sept. 16, 2016.

 

 

 

Dulay (11-0, 8 KOs) was busy last year, fighting four times with only one fight going the distance. The 22-year-old southpaw from Nashville, Tennessee most recently scored a TKO victory over Carlos Padilla last August.

 

 

 

Colbert (7-0, 2 KOs) has one of the most decorated amateur careers in New York City as he fights out of the renowned Atlas Cops and Kids Gym in Brooklyn. The 21-year-old is noted for his blazing hand and foot speed and he enters this fight coming off a unanimous decision victory over previously unbeaten Titus Williams last November.

Warriors Boxing is thrilled that PBC, FS1 and FOX Deportes are bringing professional boxing back to Minneapolis on Divendres, Abril 13,” va dir Leon Margules, President de Warriors Boxing. “There couldn’t be a more fitting venue than the newly renovated, historic Minnesota Armory in downtown Minneapolis. The Armory has a rich boxing tradition and has not hosted a boxing event for 45 any. It will be a great night for the highly acclaimed PBC on FS1 and FOX Deportes series in this beautiful and historic building.
Jamal James has staked his position as a rising contender in the welterweight division and has the kind of fan-friendly style that fits perfectly in the talent-rich 147-pound class,” va dir Tom Brown, President de Promocions TGB. “Ramos doesn’t back down and will certainly test Jamal in front of his hometown crowd. Dennis Galarza will face his own challenge when he goes up against the tough veteran Edner Cherry and it’s a rare treat to see two young unbeaten prospects like Dulay and Colbert squaring off this early in their careers. All the fights have a significant bearing on the future of the boxers involved and that will work out well for the fans.
James (22-1, 10 KOs) is coming off the biggest victory of his careera knockout over tough veteran Diego Chaves on Desembre. 15. The 29-year-old James joined unified 147-pound champion Keith Thurman as the only boxer to have knocked out the durable Argentine. It was James second straight victory since suffering the only loss of his careera unanimous decision defeat to Yordenis Ugas on Aug. 12, 2016. James hasn’t fought in his hometown of Minneapolis since he scored a unanimous decision over Mohammed Kayongo in 2013.
I’m grateful for the opportunity to compete on this platform and to show the nation and the world that Minnesota has great fighters and an enthusiastic fan base for boxing,” va dir James. “Abel Ramos is a tough guy who will come to fight, but coming off the big win over Chaves, I’m in a position in my career where I’m trying to reach that world championship level. I have to continue to demonstrate the ability to perform under pressure in difficult fights. I know he’s coming to pull off an upset, but that’s not happening.
Ramos (18-2-2, 13 KOs) will complete his move to the welterweight division by taking on James after making his welterweight debut with a stoppage of Emmanuel Robles last July. The 26-year-old out of Arizona has won three of his last four fights and his only pro defeats have come at the hands of top 140-pound contenders Regis Prograis and Ivan Baranchyk.
I’m a real Mexican warrior and I never back down from a fight,” va dir Ramos. “I’m not worried about going into Jamal James hometown and fighting him there. I’m going to disappoint Jamal and all his fans in Minneapolis, because I’m coming to win.
Cirera (36-7-2, 19 KOs) has defeated once-beaten contenders Haskell Rhodes and Omar Douglas since losing a split decision to Jose Pedraza in a 130-pound world title match in 2015. The 35-year-old Cherry of Wauchula, Florida has previously challenged Tim Bradley and Paulie Malignaggi during his career that included a 10-fight win streak after the Bradley bout.
Dennis Galarza is a great, young fighter who is on the rise, coming to win and looking to become a world champion, but he is in for a real fight,” va dir Cherry. “I’m not taking this fight lightly, I’m getting ready, and I’m ready to go all out on April 13. Després d'això, I hope I’ll get my third opportunity at a world title. I took the Lydell Rhodes, Omar Douglas and Jose Pedraza fights because I’m a warrior who wants the opportunity to fight the best, i, en definitiva, to fight for a world title. The Pedraza fight didn’t go my way on the scorecards, but the whole world knows the true outcome of that fight. I went back to work and I’m ready to prove it again.
Galarza (16-2, 9 KOs), an outstanding amateur boxer, is stepping up in competition with this matchup against the more experienced Cherry. The 25-year-old Galarza, who’s from Brooklyn but trains in Orlando, has won three straight fights since losing a split decision to Cesar Alan Valenzuela on Sept. 16, 2016.
My eyes have been on Edner as a friend and as a fan since I was young, but this is business and I’m going to be ready,” said Galarza. “Edner is a true warrior who never lets up and a crafty veteran who has fought a lot of great competition. The Pedraza fight I thought he possibly did win. A lot of people duck Edner Cherry because he beat top guys in Rhodes and Douglas his past two fights, plus he can punch with power. People think Edner’s going to break me down, but I took the fight that nobody wants to take. I believe in my talents and I’m ready to make my mark. This fight will demonstrate the type of fighter that I am.
It is rare to see a match between two young prospects on the rise this early in their careers, but Dulay and Colbert are both eager for that challenge. Dulay (11-0, 8 KOs) was busy last year, fighting four times with only one fight going the distance. The 22-year-old southpaw from Nashville, Tennessee most recently scored a TKO victory over Carlos Padilla last August.
Colbert (7-0, 2 KOs) has one of the most decorated amateur careers in New York City as he fights out of the renowned Atlas Cops and Kids Gym in Brooklyn. The 21-year-old is noted for his blazing hand and foot speed and he enters this fight coming off a unanimous decision victory over previously unbeaten Titus Williams last November.
