Here’s what the fighters had to say 周三:

 

Claressa盾:

“I started boxing at age 11 and all I really wanted was an opportunity. This is one of those big opportunities.

 

“Her having 124 professional rounds doesn’t mean anything to me. Her being 15-8 同 6 KOs doesn’t scare me either. But I am glad she took the fight and didn’t pull out.

 

“She’s a challenge and, on paper, she’s not supposed to be someone that I can just walk through. But I’ve been in training camp for three months and I had a great training camp.

I’m not going to let her beat me in front of my family. I’m not going to let her beat me in front of my nephews and cousins and my mom and dad. I just don’t roll like that.

 

“If she doesn’t have the talent and skill to go six rounds with me, she will not go six rounds. 所以, I hope she had a very good training camp. I know I did.

 

“This is the first time that a woman has been the main event on SHOWTIME and I’m not coming to make women look bad when I get in there on 三月 10.”

 

Szilvia Szabados:

“我已经准备好战斗. I’ve been waiting a long time for this fight. I feel good and I’m in great shape.

 

“I think everyone has a destiny in life and I’m glad I chose to be a boxer. This is a huge opportunity for me and I plan to take advantage of it.

 

“I know she has the amateur experience, but I have more experience as a pro. We’ll see what’s more important 在周五.”

 

安东尼奥·涅韦斯:

“I trained and did everything I have to do. 我已做好战争准备.

 

“Coming out of Cleveland, nobody gives us a chance. We have to fight for everything we get.

 

“I respect Potapov. 他是一个好战士. He said he’s going to take my belt? He’s going to have to take it from me. 我在这里打. I’m not going to just give it up. Come try and take it.

 

“When I get in there Friday, 它的所有业务. I respect him – I don’t have any problems with him as a person.

 

“I’ve fought a lot of Russians and Europeans. They’re straight-up, come forward, and try to put on a lot of pressure. They bring the fight and I’m ready for that. I’m ready for anything he brings to the table.

 

“Anything can happen in a fight, but I’m focused and ready and I know what I have to do. I’ll be able to adjust to whatever he brings.”

 

尼古拉·波塔波夫:

“I will be a much more aggressive version of myself for this fight. I trained to be very aggressive. I have a lot of surprises in store for Antonio Nieves.

 

“I learned a lot training at Kronk and I’m very ready. I had a great training camp and I really enjoyed living here in Detroit.

 

“In Russia, there is a traditional Russian style. Over here, it’s totally different. The American style is much more aggressive. I loved training with Javan SugarHill Steward at Kronk and learned a lot.”

 

Wesley Tucker:

“I come to fight every time and everybody knows when I fight, it’s fireworks.

 

“He may be from here, but Detroit is my home, 太. And I’m planning on winning here at home.”

 

Ed Williams:

“I’m glad to be home. I had a great camp and it’s going to be a hell of a fight.

 

“Wesley Tucker is coming to fight, but I’m home. You don’t let nobody take you at home. 就是这样.

 

“He may be in for a short night. Or a long one. 我们拭目以待。”

 

詹姆斯·戈登史密斯:

“I’m knocking you out. I’m not here to play games. I’m coming straight for you. I bet you I knock you out.

 

“You can’t punch. What are you going to do?

 

“I’m coming to throw bombs, so I hope you trained for this because I’m going to knock that smile off your face. Your coach can’t fight for you.”

 

约书亚·格里尔, 小:

“我准备好了. 你被淘汰了. We didn’t come here to lose.

 

“This is a fight I’ve been waiting for. 我们准备好了. 例如 星期五, I hope he’s ready, 太。”

下面是什么战士不得不说:

Claressa盾:

“I made history in the amateurs, so it’s very special to me to be making history in the pros too and also doing it so close to home in Detroit.

“为了这场战斗, I did more road work and also worked hard on my fundamentals. With my coach, Jason Crutchfield, in my corner he knows my weaknesses and strong points, so we are strengthening all weaknesses.

“I know that Szabados has a lot of body endurance and a ‘no quit’ mindset in the ring. She has a lot more professional experience than me and is a huge step up for me, as it is only my second professional fight.

“With my reputation and name steady rising and me getting a lot of notoriety, I have really just been handling it by taking a few deep breaths and just not allowing myself to get too excited. When I think about 三月 10, I just wanna jump up and down!

“When I was an amateur, I followed women’s professional boxing the best I could. I thought a lot of women weren’t given equal opportunity. I told myself that for women’s boxing to grow, I’d have to go pro after winning the Olympics again. I felt in my heart that I would be respected and given a chance. I take advantage of every opportunity, so as of now, I feel women’s boxing is a sport that is going to be around for a long time.”

尼古拉·波塔波夫:

“Nieves is good fighter, and he’s ranked in the top 10. I want to fight the best available in my division. A win over Nieves would be huge for my career and would hopefully lead to a shot at a title in the near future. I can’t lose on 三月 10.

“I trained hard to go the distance of 10 发, but Kronk’s philosophy is not to leave it in the hands of the judges.

“I am thankful to Showtime and Salita Promotions for giving me another opportunity to fight on such a prestigious network. I am focused on bringing home the victory after spending time in Detroit training at the legendary Kronk Gym. “

In addition to the history-making six-round main event featuring two-time Olympic Gold Medalist Claressa盾 (1-0) 弗林特, 密歇根州。, taking on Hungary’s Szilvia “Sunset” Szabados (15-8, 6 科斯) for the Women’s NABF Middleweight Championship, there will be a trio of exciting bouts between rising prospects with a combined record of 80-2-5 同 39 科斯.
“Detroit City Gold” will mark the first time in history a women’s boxing match has headlined on premium television. Shields and Szabados will also be the first women’s fight on 的ShoBox, a series that has sparked the careers of 67 未来的世界冠军.
安东尼奥·涅韦斯VS. 尼古拉·波塔波夫 – 10-回合的最轻量级布特
The co-main event will feature a 10-round battle between top-10 ranked bantamweight contenders 安东尼奥·涅韦斯 (17-0-2, 9 科斯) 和 尼古拉·波塔波夫 (16-0-1, 8 科斯). Nieves is ranked No. 4 在WBO, while Potapov is ranked No. 9 由WBO, 别. 10 by WBA and No. 13 由IBF.
Nieves, a top amateur, was a five-time Cleveland Metro Golden Gloves Champion. 在 2011, he was the National Golden Gloves runner-up and U.S. Nationals Bronze Medalist at 123 英镑.
亲自十一月 2011, he won the initial 12 fights of his career before boxing to an eight-round draw with 斯蒂芬·扬 六月 20, 2015. The NABO bantamweight champion, he has gone 6-0-1 since and is coming off a second-round TKO over Szilvester Ajtai 最后 十一月. 26. 八月 2016, he fought to a 10-round split draw against Mexico’s 亚历杭德罗·圣地亚哥 上 的ShoBox.
Because they are both residents of Ohio, Nieves has long clamored for a showdown with former WBA Champion and fellow 118-lb contender Rau’shee Warren. A victory over Potapov may put him in the right position to have his wish granted later this year.
“I feel great about this opportunity and I’m going to take advantage of it,” said Nieves. “他是一个好战士. He comes forward and throws a lot of punches. He’s got a solid foundation. I believe it’ll be a good fight but, 总体, I’ll be able to outbox him. I can make him make mistakes and take advantage of it. 我会 100 percent ready to show everybody the real Antonio Nieves. I’ll use my legs more and throw a lot of combinations. I will box my way to my big shot.”
The 26-year-old Potapov was an outstanding amateur with international success. The 5-foot-4 native of Russia had around 200 fights before he turned pro in March 2010. 他去 13-0 as a pro in Russia before his U.S. 登场.
Potapov had a 14-fight winning streak ended when he boxed still-undefeated prospect 斯蒂芬·扬 (13-0 在去) to a 10-round majority draw on April 15, 2016, 上 的ShoBox. 波塔波夫, who felt he had done more than enough to earn a victory, entered the ring ranked 10日 在国际羽联, rare for a fighter at that point in his career.
Since the disappointing result against Young, Potapov has fought twice, leaving nothing in the hands of the judges by winning both by early round knockout. He’s coming off a fourth-round TKO over Alexander Saltykov last 十二月. 15.
“I have been training in Russia and am excited to be in Detroit (since Feb. 1) training at the Kronk Gym with world-class trainer Javan SugarHill Steward,” Potapov said. “Antonio Nieves is a very talented fighter and I look forward to a great exciting fight of skill and will on 三月 10.”
Wesley Tucker vs. Ed Williams – Eight Round Welterweight Bout
同样在 的ShoBox: 新一代 will be an eight-round welterweight battle between local prospects with much to prove, Wesley Tucker (13-0, 8 科斯) 和 Ed Williams (12-1-1, 4 科斯).
The 29-year-old Tucker, 托莱多, 俄亥俄, was a standout amateur. 他是 2012 National Golden Gloves runner-up at 152 pounds and had over 250 业余打架. 作为一个专业, he’s stayed relatively active since his debut in February 2013, but the 5-foot-8 southpaw has been virtually untested. Tucker will be looking to score his first significant professional victory against Williams.
“我感觉很好. Excited about the opportunity,” said Tucker. “He’s a tough fighter from Detroit. But I’m better. I’ve seen every kind of style there is. You can expect fireworks that night. 我 100 percent ready.”
Detroit’s Ed Williams is coming off a unanimous decision victory over then 6-1 克里斯顿·爱德华兹, last July at the MGM in Las Vegas. The 27-year-old suffered his lone career loss in November 2015 via unanimous decision to Marcus Beckford in Beckford’s home state of Louisiana. 作为一个业余爱好者, Williams was a two-time Michigan State Champion and a two-time Detroit Golden Gloves Champion.
“I feel like this is a great opportunity to fight at home and on TV,” 威廉斯说. “It’s the first fight at the MGM, first women’s bout to headline. There’s a lot of firsts going on that night and it’s a big stage, but I’m not afraid of anything. I don’t know much about Tucker other than he’s from Oho and he’s shorter than me. I’m just going to prepare for everything. One thing about me — I’m a gladiator. If he doesn’t show up to go to war, I will get him out of there. 培训会很大. I’m in Houston for this camp. I’m working on a lot of things and getting sharper and staying busy.”
James Gordon Smith vs. 约书亚·格里尔, JR. – Eight Round Bantamweight Bout
Opening the telecast will be an eight-round bantamweight “Detroit vs. 芝加哥” 之间的对决 詹姆斯·史密斯 (11-0, 6 科斯) 和 约书亚·格里尔, JR. (11-1-1, 4 科斯).
The 26-year-old Smith was a standout amateur, 去 110-9 en route to a bronze medal at the National Golden Gloves. He holds an amateur win over current top-10 bantamweight Antonio Nieves.
工匠, a 5-foot-4, is making his ninth start in Michigan, his seventh in Detroit and first at MGM Grand. A six-year pro, Smith has been victorious in three consecutive matches since a no-contest on Feb. 6, 2016. 他在度过了第二轮将军澳 Szilveszter Ajtai last Jan. 22 in his fourth consecutive scrap at Masonic Temple in Detroit.
“This is a great opportunity to better my career and keep moving it into the right place,” 史密斯说. “A victory would get me ranked and keep me moving up the ladder. Plus the world will get to see me for the first time. 我想上演一场好戏, no matter how it goes. I just want it to be a competitive and exciting fight.”
Greer, a 22-year-old Chicago native, was a Chicago Golden Gloves Champion. He will be coming down in weight to face Smith, having normally campaigned around 120 英镑. He was last seen stopping Cristian Renteria in the fifth round in October of last year. Before that he took the undefeated record of the Dominican Republic’s Juan Gabriel Medina (然后 10-0, 9 科斯) via unanimous six-round decision.
Greer suffered the lone loss of his career in the fifth fight of his career, a majority four-round decision against fellow unbeaten 斯蒂芬·富尔顿 十二月 2015.
“I feel really good about this. I’m ready and can’t wait for it to happen,” said Greer. “I don’t know much about James Smith, but I know we fought the same opponent, Antwan Robertson, and he got dropped by him. And I stopped him within 24 在第一轮的秒. 培训会很大. I have the best sparring you can ask for, guys like 阿德里安·格拉纳多斯, 埃迪·拉米雷斯, 汉克·伦迪. I will be well prepared for this fight. If it was 明天, I’d be ready.”

Shields is the most accomplished amateur boxer in U.S. 历史 – 男女不限 – and the only American boxer to capture back-to-back gold medals at the Olympic Games.
“It is a dream come true to be the first woman to headline a boxing card on premium television,” 希尔兹说. “三月 10 will be a historic night for boxing and all of the women who give so much to advance our sport.

Szabados said, “Fighters always say their next fight is the most important one of their career, but you get an opportunity like this, and it really is. This is an unbelievable dream. I am very happy to be receiving this opportunity. I know this fight is important for Claressa also, and I don’t really know what will happen in the ring. 我们都想赢. Claressa has more amateur experience, but I have more experience as a professional. It’s going to be an exciting night.”
活动门票由 Salita促销 go on sale 星期五, 二月. 10 在 10 A.M. est 并且售价 $250, $150, $100 和 $50. 他们将可在 www.ticketmaster.com.
Promoter Dmitriy Salita said, “I am honored to be putting on this event at the fantastic MGM Grand Detroit, featuring American hero Claressa Shields on ShoBox: 新一代. Detroit is America’s greatest comeback city and I am thrilled that she has chosen MGM Grand Detroit as the site to fight for her first professional title on 三月 10. Although it is just her second professional fight, Claressa has chosen a former world title challenger for her opponent, a tough Hungarian named Szilvia Szabados, a woman who knows what’s at stake if she can win that night. We’ve got a terrific card from top to bottom in support of this fantastic main event as well, featuring some of Detroit’s brightest up-and-coming prospects, as well as some national and international flavor. Detroit deserves to have world-class events such as this and I’m very proud to be able to bring it here.”
Shields won her first Olympic Gold when she was 17 years old in the inaugural women’s boxing competition at the London Games in 2012. She defended her title at the 2016 Olympics in Rio, becoming the only American boxer to defend amateur sports’ premier championship.

的ShoBox 专家分析 史蒂夫Farhood: “Women’s boxing in America has its best chance of revival because of the emergence of Claressa Shields. Women’s boxing is pretty big in certain countries, but it really hasn’t been a factor in the United States since 莱拉·阿里 和, before her, 克里斯蒂·马丁. Being the only U.S. boxer to win two gold medals, Claressa has instant credibility and star appeal and those two things are going to lead to wide exposure.
“She has a great back story, she’s an exciting fighter to watch and she’s instantly likeable.”
简单的说, Shields found solace in boxing to overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges in her childhood. She’s become a vocal advocate for many social causes, including the ongoing water crisis in her hometown of Flint, women’s rights, and campaigning against sexual assault. An inspirational figure and motivational speaker, Shields represents a beacon of hope for a working-class city that struggles with violence, poverty, and everyday essentials.
In taking on a former world title challenger and fighting for the NABF middleweight championship in only her second fight, Shields continues to make immediate strides as a professional like fellow Flint native Floyd Mayweather, who won his first world title when he was 21.
Szabados challenged for a world title in July 2015 in her ninth professional fight, losing a decision to undefeated WBC Super Middleweight Champion 尼克·阿德勒 在德国. The native of Miskolc, Hungary has faced two former world champions, Mikaela Lauren 和 Noni Tenge, and has won via knockout in three of her last five victories.
In her U.S. 登场, Szabados lost a 10-round decision to then-undefeated prospect 艾丽西亚·拿破仑（Alicia Napoleon） 一月 29, 2016, 在皇后区, 纽约州. The 26-year-old has remained active since turning professional in 2014. She fought eight fights in 2016, and already has a win in 2017 via fifth round KO over Diana Marcz in January in Budapest, 匈牙利.

谢尔盖·科瓦列夫 VS. 安德烈·沃德最终新闻发布会 (点击观看)

 

LAS VEGAS, NV (十一月 18, 2016) – 在星期四, 十一月. 17, WBO, WBA和IBF轻重量级世界冠军 谢尔盖·“克鲁舍”·科瓦列夫 (30-0-1, 26 科斯) 和两次世界冠军 安德烈“S.O.G.”病房 (30-0, 15 科斯) 参加了11月份的最后一场新闻发布会. 19 拉斯维加斯 T-Mobile Arena 的“Pound For Pound”对决, NV. 最后的新闻发布会由著名擂台播音员 Michael Buffer 主持. 本次活动将生产和HBO付费按次开始在现场分发 9:00 P.M. AND/6:00 P.M. PT.

 

下面是什么战士, 发起人和其他讲台嘉宾在最后的新闻发布会上不得不说:

谢尔盖·科瓦廖夫, WBO, WBA & IBF轻重量级世界冠军:

 

“大家好, 我很高兴来到这里. 这是很不错的. 也许像两个, 三年前, 我无法想象我能达到这个水平并与安德烈·沃德战斗, 不败的拳击手和奥运会金牌得主. 我非常尊重他, 表彰他在职业和业余职业生涯中取得的成功. 这确实是巨大的成功，但现在我们面对面，我应该证明我更好. 非常感谢 HBO 以及 Peter Nelson 本人, 我的发起人 Kathy Duva 和 Main Events 促销活动, Egis Klimas 和我的赞助商宇舶表. 我真的希望我们的战斗会非常清晰和诚实. 我对这场比赛感到非常兴奋，也有点紧张，因为我从来没有达到过这个水平. HBO Pay-Per-View 是职业拳击界的最高级别，我很高兴来到这里. 欢迎来到十一月的电视屏幕. 19 和 T-Mobile 竞技场，你会看到非常精彩的战斗. 非常感谢。”

沃德, 两次世界冠军:

“我要感谢今天在场的每一个人——媒体, 我所有的赞助商, 米高梅大酒店, 把这场战斗和 HBO 放在一起的伟大团队. 凯西·杜瓦叫醒我时，我正忙着忙自己的事. 她开始说话, 我不知道她为什么一直这样做, 但有趣的是，那些没有进入那个圈的人是说话最多的人. 他们感觉不到那些打击, 这样她就可以继续做她正在做的事情. 我喜欢它, 这就是大促销的意义所在, 一场大战的意义何在; 我们不应该互相喜欢. 他的身边一直在说很多话, 这很好, 我们喜欢它. 这不是我们的第一个牛仔竞技表演, 我们以前一直在这条路上. 我们并不总是立即回应. 有时我们的沉默被误解为我们没有得到它. 我们看, 我们做笔记, 但与此同时，我们继续工作，我们生产来战斗之夜. 这就是我们擅长的. 所以所有的谈话都很棒, 我喜欢它, 但知道一件事——我不会乱来的 星期六 夜晚. 我在那儿. 非常感谢”.

凯西Duva, 首席执行官, 主要事件:

“欢迎每个人都做到最好, 年度最重要和最值得期待的战斗. 与 Sergey Kovalev 的主赛事之旅始于四年前. 在秋天 2012, 他第一次出现在美国. NBCSN 的电视联合特写. 这是他第一次在美国上电视. 当时, 他告诉我他有三个目标: 1. 赢得冠军, 2. 统一标题, 3. 成为按次付费的战斗机. 他明确表示这就是他想要的，他会赢得战斗. 不到一年后，当他赢得 WBO 冠军时，他首次出现在 HBO. 不到一年后，他首次出现在 HBO, 他在HBO上打了九次 三年 现在他的第一个按次付费终于来了. 我现在提出这个问题是因为那里有一个故事情节，说这场战斗没有梅威瑟-帕奎奥那么大是多么可惜. 当我尝试解决问题时，我倾向于这样做, 我做了一些研究，试图获得一些观点. 弗洛伊德梅威瑟和谢尔盖一样在 HBO 上打了九次, 当然还有他在 6 月首次登上 HBO PPV 与 Arturo Gatti 的四年时间。 2005, 加蒂是那场战斗的最大赢家. 曼尼·帕奎奥 (Manny Pacquiao) 在 HBO 上奋斗了两年​​，然后在今年 1 月登上了他的第一次 HBO 演出。 2005 与埃里克·莫拉莱斯. 这些活动以数十万次购买, 直到弗洛伊德和曼尼有机会击败已经成名的超级巨星奥斯卡·德拉霍亚，他们才达到百万买入的基准. 他们在平行的道路上为 10 多年的 PPV 才能到达他们去年到达的地方, 这当然是每个战士都想去的地方，也是科瓦列夫和沃德想去的地方. 所以他们必须从某个地方开始. 事实上，曼尼的第一个 PPV 对手莫拉莱斯之前就在 PPV 上，并且已经凭借与米奇沃德的三部曲获得了传奇地位，并且为休闲体育迷所熟知.

 

“很少有拳手有机会在按次付费的稀有世界中始终如一地战斗, 而那些通常是相同的战士，他们在擂台上以英镑的身份赚取英镑. 在过去的几个月里, 到目前为止，我已经观看了 Sergey 为宣传这一壮观事件所做的工作. 谢尔盖向我展示了他有能力成为那种能够与他的每一位粉丝建立联系的罕见能力的明星, 每次他出去都做新的, 并且非常努力地说服他们他值得花钱去看. 他的拳击能力, 他的冲击力, 他在擂台上的激动人心的存在.

 

“在谢尔盖的目标中, 我添加的一个是在拉斯维加斯成为一名大斗士, 所以这很大. 这是巨大的, 我们很高兴. 我要感谢内华达州运动委员会的 Bob Bennett, 很高兴与这样专业的人一起工作，你让我们的工作变得轻松多了. 我要感谢我们所有的赞助商. 最后, 想感谢大家的光临, 我只是等不及铃声响起.

 

“我们的共同特色战斗是 NABF 轻重量级冠军亚历山大“钉子”罗迪克, 谁在轻重量级不败并大放异彩, 他来自乌克兰. 他将与艾萨克“金童”智利巴战斗, 谁最初来自马拉维并在约翰内斯堡战斗, 南非. 他们将参加一场十回合的轻重量级较量. 一场真正的十字路口战斗，我真的不知道谁会赢. 明显, 主要活动是与艾萨克, 几个月前与谢尔盖进行了一场激烈的战斗, 我认为他根本就没有得到他应得的荣誉. 他很可能是世界上第二好的轻重量级人物, 我知道 Isaac 的目标是强势回归并给每个人留下深刻印象 星期六 夜晚.

 

“同时打开电视转播的底牌, WBA大陆中量级冠军, 布朗斯维尔的柯蒂斯“大脑刺客”斯蒂芬斯, 布鲁克林. 整个行业中最有趣的战士之一. 柯蒂斯, 你照亮了我们的一天, 每一天. 他将面对詹姆斯“国王”德拉罗莎, 23-4 圣贝尼托, 德州十轮中量级较量. 这有火车残骸的所有标志, 但是柯蒂斯把目光投向了更大更好的东西，我知道他和詹姆斯会非常努力地给人留下深刻印象，因为中量级很热, 那里有很多机会.

 

“我认为我不需要告诉这个房间里的任何人，为什么这是一场伟大的战斗，或者为什么你应该对它感兴趣，或者为什么你应该想看它. 如果你还不知道，你就不会在这里，但我们确实需要你出去把这个词传播到世界其他地方. 这是你带朋友过来的战斗, 有点喜欢拳击但不确定的人. 这是你告诉你朋友的战斗, 说MMA比拳击好的人. 让他们来你家看这个，因为 Kovalev-Ward 会让很多人成为忠实粉丝, 星期六 夜晚, 我很期待这一点，并在那里见到你们所有人。”

 

迈克尔·Yormark, 中华民国总统 & 品牌与战略主管:

“诚实是最好的政策. 因此，我将以极大的诚实开始这件事. 对于下一个 48 小时, 您可能会在这两位不败的战士之间听到很多尊重和钦佩. 简单的事实是, 我们距离今年最大的战斗只有两天了, 我不指望他们互相欣赏. 但谁能责怪他们? 唯一站在不败记录和拳击不朽之间的就是彼此. 这为已经成为绝对经典的战斗增添了一层厌恶和非常锋利的优势. 我对这场战斗的看法很简单. 星期六 对于谢尔盖来说，夜晚将是艰难的夜晚, 当他被世界上最好的一磅拳击手系统地挑选出来时, 沃德.

 

“我认识安德烈好几年了, 我从未见过他更专注, 更坚定, 更有动力，更有准备迎接他职业生涯中最大的战斗. 这些时刻是一代代运动员为之而生的时刻，也是他们梦寐以求的时刻. 这是创造历史的机会, 书写安德烈传奇的最新篇章, 坦率地说, 合上谢尔盖的书. 不要误会它, 沃德队来到维加斯取胜, 带着三个人走出罪恶之城——我重复一遍, 三——新的冠军腰带. 拳击需要这样的战斗, 两个不败的战士在他们的鼎盛时期. 自然竞争力使优势更加锐利, 以及完全不喜欢. 在 T-Mobile Arena 世界最大的舞台上战斗, 和 HBO 按次付费. 它没有变得更好或更大. 史诗是描述它的唯一词, 作为一个终生的拳击迷, 我很高兴成为第一手见证人.

 

“我想感谢我们为这次活动争取到的官方战斗合作伙伴. 我们的展示合作伙伴 Corona 以及 Monster Products, 捷通, Zappos的, 乔丹品牌和鞋宫. 我还要感谢安德烈的战斗伙伴, 包括 ProSupps 和 Lyft, 怪物产品, BODYARMOUR 和 JetLux, 以及他的长期合作伙伴 Jordan Brand, POWERHANDZ和鞋宫. 这种支持以及球迷和媒体的支持是对安德烈作为真正千载难逢的运动员的明确认可. 他的技能只能与他对家庭和社区的承诺相匹配. 他的竞争力仅取决于他的魅力. 在洛克国家, 我们很荣幸能够代表这个人, 奥运会金牌得主, 自从他成为以来不败 13 岁, 奥克兰的骄傲, 而且当然, 下一个轻重量级世界冠军.

 

“虽然我们的主要赛事看起来是一场永恒的战斗, 这是一张深厚而有才华的底牌，将使 周六 一场真正特别的活动. Roc Nation 很荣幸能与众多才华横溢的拳手合作, 从达拉斯本地人 Maurice “Mighty Mo” Hooker 开始, 他将自己的不败纪录和 NABO 青少年次中量级冠军置于危险之中 达利斯·佩雷斯 (Darleys Perez) 在 HBO 付费节目中. 我们还将邀请来自费城的重量级巨星达玛尼“Rock Solid”Rock, 当他希望提高到 6-0 在拉斯维加斯首秀中对阵布莱斯·里塔尼·科 (Brice Ritani-Coe). 在官方电视转播之前在按次付费活动频道上开放免费电视转播, 这将是一场八回合的青少年次中量级比赛，对手是来自托莱多的不败新星桑尼·“Pretty Boi”·弗雷德里克森, 俄亥俄. 免费观看也可通过 HBO Boxing 的 YouTube 频道进行直播. 弗雷德里克森将迎战波士顿的加布里埃尔·德卢克, 马萨诸塞州. 另一个托莱多, 俄亥俄州本地人, 记录无瑕疵, 泰勒“金童”麦克里里将与大急流城的文森特“维尼熊”詹宁斯正面交锋, 密歇根州在八轮羽量级比赛中. 球迷们也可以在 Kovalev-Ward 的 freeview 部分观看比赛. 与此同时, 民族英雄和两届奥运会金牌得主克拉丽莎·希尔兹将在免费电视转播中首次亮相备受期待的职业生涯. 她将迎战长期对手弗兰琼克鲁斯，后者也将在四轮中量级比赛中首次亮相. 简单的说, 拳击迷都在为一种享受 周六 晚上，我们很高兴能参与其中.

 

“我们今天听到了很多诚实. 但很明显 星期六 这将是一个史诗般的夜晚. Kovalev-Ward 毫无疑问将成为拳击界的年度之战, 我们都知道. 中华民国很自豪能成为其中的一员, 在我们的 DNA 中推广大型全球活动, 我们很荣幸在去年的大部分时间里为这场斗争而努力, 我们终于到了关键时刻. 有很多组织和个人帮助了这次活动, 我要感谢他们所有人. 首先, 团队病房, 包括詹姆斯普林斯, 乔什杜宾和维吉尔亨特. HBO 的 Peter Nelson 和 Tony Walker 将这场战斗带给全球观众. 米高梅的 Richard Sturm 和 Sid Greenfeig, 以及 T-Mobile Arena 总经理 Dan Quinn 在世界一流的设施中举办本次活动. Kathy Duva 和她的团队在主要活动中, 谁从一开始就是我们在这场斗争中的合作伙伴. 最后但同样重要的是, 拉斯维加斯市, 拳击界最大事件的精神家园, 以及将在未来许多年改变这项运动面貌的战斗的正当环境。”

约翰·戴维·杰克逊, 谢尔盖·科瓦列夫的教练:

 

“感谢所有媒体来到这里. 我要感谢两个不同的团体. 第一, 我要感谢 Main Events 促销活动. 主要活动中的这些女人加上我的男人, 乔·罗通达, 确实是世界上最伟大的人. 如果您想找到一家促销公司，该公司将公平对待所有拳手，全面地对待您，并为您提供应得的拳击, 然后去看他们. 第二, 我要感谢参加这次活动的所有媒体. 看到一些人真是太好了, 用他们的话, 可以帮助拳击游泳或下沉. 你的话很有帮助. 有时您对我们的帮助不如我们希望得到的帮助，但我很高兴在这里见到你们所有人，因为我们需要这个来保持拳击的努力. 这是一个美妙的, 美丽的运动，有时会变得时髦，但总而言之，这是一项很棒的运动, 美丽的战斗. 我感谢所有出来支持并为这项精彩的运动写下你的话的人.

 

“一场战斗并不能定义一个战士的职业生涯. 两位战士的最后一场战斗是真实的: 调整. 他们做了他们应该做的事. 为了让这场战斗在这里发生，他们都以令人信服的方式获胜. 我不记得记者问了什么，但这就是你问题的答案. 一场战斗并不能定义一个战士的职业生涯.

 

“我说的有些话是为了进入某人的脑海，但归根结底是我确实尊重这些人; 他们是很好的人. 整个团队都很好. 他们非常专业. 回答 [维吉尔的] 由两部分组成的问题. 他说在最后一场战斗中我在那里待了一个星期. 我很想告诉你，无论你从哪里得到信息，都是坏信息. 我在那里的时间超过了两周或三周. 谁说我在那里待了一个星期，我很高兴他们这么说. 这让我们看起来像是一支糟糕的球队. 我喜欢. 回答您关于我们团队凝聚力的问题, 营地里发生的一切, 无论我们可能有什么分歧或人们说我们有什么分歧, 我要你记住这个, 所有的作家都在这里, 来吧，战斗之夜，我们将以与进来时相同的方式离开——不败. 谢尔盖赢得每一场战斗. 他以他应该赢的方式赢了，他做了我要求他做的一切. 随着中说, 我期待十一月. 19 我会在那里见到你们. 非常感谢。”

EGIS气候, 谢尔盖·科瓦列夫经理:

“感谢大家来到这里. 媒体, 没有你，没有人会知道我们要去哪里或在做什么, 非常感谢. 想感谢我们的发起人 主要活动, 凯西·杜瓦（Kathy Duva）做得很好，将我们带到了这个非常大的战斗的阶段. 米高梅大酒店, 非常好的主人, 非常感谢. HBO Pay-Per-View 已经把美国的所有观众都带到了. 我希望我没有错过任何人. 当然我很, 非常自豪能够代表世界上最好的战士之一，并希望, 我们会看到的 星期六 夜晚, 谁是磅拳击手的磅. 我讨厌当教练, 经理, 发起人开始谈论它将如何互相击败，因为他们不是踏入擂台的人. 没有一个发起人, 培训师或经理可以了解擂台上会发生什么. 只有两个战士会在擂台上. 我们有两个世界上最好的轻重量级选手将展示 周六 晚上谁是最好的磅对磅战斗机. 我希望这是我们多年来看过的最好的节目. 非常感谢”.

维吉尔猎人, 安德烈·沃德的教练:

“我来这里打了很多场比赛，看到媒体室为这场比赛挤满了人, 这真的让我感觉很好. 我要感谢彼得尼尔森, HBO的团队, 我的 Rap-A-Lot 家庭, 理查德·斯特姆和米高梅. 我还要感谢媒体, 不管你选择谁赢.

 

“我转身 63, 上周三, 我和年轻人一起工作已经不是什么秘密了, 我所有的职业生涯. 当涉及到年轻人时，它确实对我产生了情感影响. 看HBO的 我的战斗 深深地触动了我. 我的心向谢尔盖·科瓦列夫致敬，现在每个人都知道安德烈·沃德的背景.

 

“我相信这将是一场伟大的战斗. 我相信科瓦列夫就是他们所说的一切. 他是一个危险的对手; 他来是为了赢. 我们见过他对对手做的事情，当他们进入擂台时, 他们颤抖. 现在, 我们只能淡化这种情况. 我期待十一月.

19.

 

“我会鼓励所有发起人公平对待你的战士, 不要欺骗他们. 不要让他们成为机器人. 鼓励他们并教他们如何成为商人. 如果你有冠军, 他应该得到冠军的配给。”

詹姆斯·普林斯, 安德烈·沃德经理:

“我要感谢上帝给我这个机会. HBO, 他们为将这场斗争带给我们而做出的承诺和牺牲. 米高梅大酒店和理查德斯特姆. 我们感谢中华民国, 我们的发起人 – JAY Z, 所有在后台支持迈克尔·约马克的人, 谁一直在履行职责，做得很好. 安东尼奥·伦纳德在家, 我们感谢你托尼和你所做的一切. 名单还在继续. 我真的很感激这个机会, 我代表 Ward 团队发言. 我们一直期待这一天, 它在这里, 我要对付房间里的大象: 这是俄罗斯对. 美利坚合众国. 在我看来, 最好的俄罗斯在任何事情上都无法击败最好的美利坚合众国. 我只是需要这么说. 我们这里有一架俄罗斯战斗机, 科瓦廖夫; 我们尊重你的格斗游戏, 你是一个伟大的战士. 你让我想起了歌利亚. 我们有我的男人安德烈·沃德, 我认为大卫. 我不知道你们是否都了解大卫和歌利亚，但这就是我们要处理的问题. 例如 星期六 夜晚, 我们将有机会看到现代大卫, 这是安德烈·沃德, 击败歌利亚. 我在纽约的上次新闻发布会上提到了这一点, 和女士. Duva 对我说 Andre Ward 没有剑. 但她错过了故事的真正实质, 她错过了对大卫的学习. 他的顺服以及大卫所关心的所有这些不同的属灵领域. 他正准备与 S.O.G 战斗, 那是神的儿子, 如果你们都不知道, 那是安德烈·沃德. 所以, 别, 我们没有剑, 我们不能像大卫那样把他的头砍下来抬起来, 但是安德烈·沃德（Andre Ward）会提高腰带来的 星期六 晚上“。

鲍勃·贝内特, 内华达州运动委员会:

“对于内华达州体育委员会来说，监管这场非常轰动的冠军争夺战无疑是一种荣幸和荣幸. 这个事件应该是首屈一指的. 你应该知道我们非常重视我们的工作, 我们已经完成了我们的作业，我们准备去上班了. 此时, 我们要感谢 Kathy Duva 和 Main Events, 和来自 Roc Nation 的 Michael Yormark 在世界格斗之都举办了这场电动锦标赛. 我们还要感谢 Richard Sturm 和米高梅在 T-Mobile 和 HBO 举办这次活动的广播活动, 以及活动前的节目, 这绝对是有趣和有趣的. 最后但并非最不重要的, 我们要承认并感谢勇士们, 所有的战士, 因为没有他们, 我们都不会在这里。”

理查德·斯特姆, 娱乐和体育总裁, 米高梅国际度假村:

“我们很高兴再次在 T-Mobile Arena 举办国际锦标赛. 这周末, 我们关闭了公司的拳击赛程，俄罗斯选手谢尔盖·科瓦列夫 (Sergey Kovalev) 对阵美国选手安德烈·沃德 (Andre Ward). 我们期待这两位不败拳手的这场对决. 科瓦列夫在结束他的职业生涯后返回拉斯维加斯 2015 淘汰赛战胜纳吉布·穆罕默迪，安德烈·沃德和他的球队首次亮相拉斯维加斯. 正如我们在过去七个月中所看到的, T-Mobile Arena 迅速改变了拉斯维加斯的娱乐和体育景观, 我们期待继续这一传统. 我们要特别感谢 Kathy Duva 和主赛事团队, 迈克尔·约马克 (Michael Yormark) 和 Roc Nation 工作人员. 双方战斗阵营, HBO 付费频道的托尼·沃克和内华达州体育委员会的鲍勃·贝内特。”

托尼·沃克, 副总裁, HBO 按次付费- 视图:

两名战士都展示了手套工作, 沉重的包, 出席媒体的速度包和太极拳. 以下是新星在媒体锻炼期间所说的话:

 

莫里斯·胡克（Maurice Hooker）, NABO 青少年次中量级冠军:

“Kovalev-Ward 是一个特殊的事件. 我会做我最擅长的事情，并希望, 偷走人群. 人群会爱我……他们喜欢淘汰赛, 这就是我准备给他们的.

 

“亚伦·普赖尔是最好的之一. 他带来了很多淘汰赛. 他是一个伟大的战士，很多人都躲过了. 喜欢他, 我要与躲避我的人打架. 他们害怕是因为他们不知道我能做什么. 这场战斗意味着很多……一个向他们展示我是谁的机会. 我会像‘鹰’一样带来淘汰赛。”

 

“我想保持忙碌. 我想与 Ricky Burns 和 Eduard Troyanovsky 战斗并赢得他们的腰带. 向我的大哥特伦斯克劳福德大喊. 他在做他的事. 希望, 他和帕奎奥吵架了, 向上移动，让我接管.

 

“我的预测 星期六 是淘汰赛. 我爱击倒. 我总是去淘汰赛. 我挥出的每一拳, 即使是刺戳, 我要试着砍掉达利斯佩雷斯的脑袋。”

 

Claressa盾, 两届奥运会金牌得主:

“我将在营地待七周. 我很兴奋. 我已准备好承担成为职业拳手的新任务，并最终, 赢得腰带.

“当决定去职业, 我想到了我的遗产——我不想消失四年, 并赢得另一枚金牌，但让人们不知道我的名字或我的长相或我的拳击方式.

“期待看到一场非常精彩的战斗, 我的一场非常熟练的战斗, 这个星期六. 世界将看到前所未有的拳击水平. 我是一个聪明的战士. 我是一个有趣的斗士. 我把所有东西都扔得很好并且有很好的组合.

“Franchon Crews 和我曾在大型锦标赛中进行过拳击和拳击比赛. 她已经做好了充分的准备，我一直在为 KO 进行训练. 在业余爱好者, 我的整体记录是 77-1 但我从来没有击倒过任何人. 现在, 我们有更小的手套, 没有头饰，我比以往任何时候都更强壮. 这是一种不同的职业首秀. 这实际上应该是我和 Franchon Crews 之间的世界冠军争夺战，但不知何故, 她把它当作职业处子秀.

“我爱拳击. 这就是我投入时间和身体的原因. 期待在所有格斗迷面前战斗. 我有朋友, 家庭, 来自各地的粉丝飞到维加斯只是为了看我战斗, 所以希望我能在主要赛事之前收拾好房子。”
