Here is what the fighters had to say Wednesday from Wolves Den Gym in El Paso:

 

JOSESITO LOPEZ

 

 

 

Having Robert Garcia in my corner has given me the training and preparation of an elite fighter. It’s a big difference. He’s one of the best trainers in the world and I’m going to help show that on Saturday.

 

 

 

I’ve been training with Robert for quite some time now. I’ve been getting sharp working with other elite fighters in the gym. It’s kept me on my toes and that’s what I needed.

 

 

 

Cruz is tough, he’s undefeated and he comes focused to win. He’s a good fighter but I’m here this week to prove that I’m a better fighter.

 

 

 

Experience will definitely play a big part. But I also don’t think he’s faced anyone with the skills I have. All of my losses are to great fighters. I feel like I’ve taken a big step forward here.

 

 

 

It feels great to be headlining in El Paso on FOX and FOX Deportes. I bring exciting fights and I’m always in wars. Saturday will be no different.

 

 

 

I’m really excited to finally be fighting in Texas, it’s something I’ve looked for and asked about for many years. Texas holds a big piece of my heart and I’m ready to give the fans here a show on Saturday.

 

MIGUEL CRUZ

 

 

 

This was an excellent training camp. It was a hard camp. It was extensive but I got through it and it has me feeling very prepared. It was absolutely the most strenuous camp I’ve had. I always train hard, but this one in particular, I had extra motivation.

 

 

 

To get the win I need to use my jab and work the body. There are more aspects of it, but those two things are essential for me winning this fight.

 

 

 

I’ve fought a lot of good, mladý, strong fighters recently. Past a certain level you learn that you can’t just knock everybody out. You learn to weather the storm and use your energy more efficiently. I’ve learned a lot about myself as a fighter.

 

 

 

Josesito throws looping punches. That’s tough because it’s a bit unconventional. He throws looping punches that can take away your equilibrium. He’s got a lot of experience and that’s definitely a major factor in what I’ve been preparing for.

 

 

 

It feels great to be on this stage, but at the same time I know I earned my spot to be here. I remember watching Josesito fighting in 2011 on the Mayweather vs. Ortiz undercard and I knew right then that I was going to be in the ring with these guys.

 

ANTHONY DIRRELL

 

 

 

I had a great, eight-week long training camp with great sparring. I feel good and I’m ready to fight for sure.

 

 

 

I know that Han is a warrior. He’s rugged and that’s why I chose to fight him here in his backyard. I know that he’s going to bring a fight for me.

 

 

 

It’s just going to be me and him in the ring. The audience can’t help him. All his fans can’t help him. Coaches can only help him between rounds. I’m going to block everything else out and just focus on him.

 

 

 

I just need to stick to what we worked on in training camp. We have to implement those strategies and you’ll see it come Saturday night.

 

 

 

I’m a better, stronger and wiser fighter these days. I’ve been through a lot to stay in world title contention. Everybody knows how badly I want my title back. V sobotu, everyone will see that I’m a champion. I’m ready for anyone with a belt.

 

ABRAHAM HAN

 

 

 

I’m so happy to be fighting at home on this big stage. In many ways this is a dream come true and something that’s been a long time coming. I can’t wait to perform in front of my people.

 

 

 

I know I’m the underdog versus Dirrell but that doesn’t bother me at all. I always train to be better than anyone expects me to be. This fight will be no difference.

 

 

 

This is a big fight for me and I’ve been training so hard to put on a great show for my hometown fans. This is a great fight town and I’m going to give the fans something to cheer about.

 

jorge Lara

 

 

 

I’m so excited to get in the ring. I’m still eating right now leading up to the weigh-in and I feel ready to go. I’m eager to step into the ring.

 

 

 

I’m not worried about Claudio Marrero. I’m just staying loose and focused on what I have to do. Marrero has to focus on me because he’s never fought a guy like me. I’m going to stay loose and bring the fight to him.

 

 

 

The world title is my destiny. This is one shot closer to a world title. I’m highly ranked but the champions don’t want to give me a chance. So I will have to fight my way there.

 

 

 

I’m like a dog going after a bone in the ring. I just want to fight. I’m here to take the fight right to him.

 

CLAUDIO MARRERO

 

 

 

It was a very hard training camp like always. I take it very seriously and I’m ready for this fight on Saturday night.

 

 

 

I know I’m facing a tough Mexican fighter who will leave it all in the ring. We worked very hard on a plan for him.

 

 

 

He must be mistaken if he thinks I’ve never seen a fighter like him before. It’s the other way around. He’ll definitely know what level I’m on after Saturday night.

 

 

 

My style is to both come forward, but have the ability to move backward. It’s all about what the fight dictates and what my corner wants.

I’m completely focused and I haven’t felt this good in a really long time. Dňa 28 I’m going to give it my all and come out with this victory. I refuse to lose this fight.

 

 

 

 

It’s been a dream to fight in Texas and I’m so happy to be here in El Paso. I’m going to embrace this challenge and give the fans what they deserve.

 

 

 

 

I know that I have to be ready for anything and with Robert Garcia in my corner, there’s no doubt I’ll be prepared. Cruz is young and hungry but I just have to show why I’ve been competing at a high level for so long.

 

MIGUEL CRUZ

 

 

 

 

 

I’m very excited to be here in this fight. I have a lot of respect for what Josesito Lopez has done in this game. There’s no doubt he’s an accomplished fighter. I believe this is my time.

 

 

 

 

I’m going to leave everything in the ring to win this fight. That’s what I feel in my heart. I believe in my training. I’ve been working and working and I know what’s in front of me.

ABRAHAM HAN

 

 

 

 

I’m fighting a former world champion at 168-pounds. Anthony Dirrell is a great fighter and I know that I’m going to have to avoid his power. I’m going to be quick and use all my skills.

 

 

 

 

This is going to be a great fight on April 28. I’m fighting in my hometown of El Paso, and I do not lose here. Something about this town turns me into a ‘super saiyan.

 

 

 

 

I’m going to be strong and when I get the opportunity, I’m looking to hurt Dirrell. This is a fight that can get me to a world title fight.

 

 

 

 

My sister, (IBF Featherweight World Champion) Jennifer Han, was the first women’s world champion from El Paso. I’m looking to become the first male world champion from here. El Paso needs to come out and support one of itsown on April 28. This is a great fight town and we have a chance to show everyone on fight night.

I feel I’m ready to challenge anyone in the division right now. I’m going to earn it in the ring and keep working hard every day until I have that belt around my waist.

 

ROBERT GARCIA, Lopez’s Trainer

 

 

 

 

 

We have a great team in the gym and we’re focused on Josesito’s fight on April 28. We know Cruz is a tough fight. He’s an undefeated fighter that knows a win over Josesito could get him a title fight.

 

 

 

 

 

Since Josesito’s been with me we’ve been working hard and training for over two years. He’s improved so much and come April 28 he’s going to show everyone that he’s ready to challenge the world champions. We have to beat guys like Cruz to get to those fights.

 

 

 

 

The fans in Texas are always great. This is a great boxing city and every time we’re in El Paso we get nothing but love. We appreciate it and hope to see you all at the fight.

 

O’NEIL WATSON, Cruz’s Trainer

 

 

 

 

I have a young fighter who I’ve been with since he was twelve years old. He got his first win with me. I’ve been there to guide him through everything he’s done in boxing.

 

 

 

 

 

If you want to be a world champion, you have to be willing to fight guys like Josesito Lopez. We know what we’re preparing for and I know that Miguel Cruz is going to end the night with the win.

“Toto je akčná šou, ktorá má všetky prvky, ktoré si fanúšikovia boxu obľúbili,” povedal Tom Brown, Prezident TGB Promotions. “Miguel Cruz je talentovaný stúpajúci uchádzač, ktorý urobí veľký krok proti skúsenému veteránovi v Josesitovi Lopezovi. Anthony Dirrell je bývalý majster sveta, ktorý sa túži dostať späť na titulný obrázok a Abraham Han z El Pasa má svoje vlastné ambície na titul.. A Jorge Lara a Claudio Marrero sú dvaja z najväčších priebojníkov v perovej váhe. Sľubuje, že to bude veľmi zábavná šou pre fanúšikov boxu.”

 

 

 

Lopez (35-7, 19 KO) je veteránom prevereným bojom, ktorý bol v ringu s niektorými z najlepších boxerov v tomto športe, vrátane Marcosa Maidanu, Saul “Canela” Alvarez a Jessie Vargas. 33-ročný Lopez z Riverside, Kalifornia zaznamenala jedno z najväčších víťazstiev v kariére, keď zastavila Victora Ortiza TKO 2012. Od prehry s Andre Bertom ťahá sériu dvoch víťazstiev a vo svojom poslednom zápase porazil Saula Corrala jednomyseľným rozhodnutím z apríla 9, 2017 naživo na FS1.

 

 

 

“Miguel Cruz nečelil bojovníkovi na mojej úrovni,” Said Lopez. “Som najskúsenejší bojovník, s akým Cruz bojoval. Som presvedčený o svojich schopnostiach a o tom, že zvíťazím. Som pripravený prejsť priamo cez Miguela Cruza a dokázať, že som jednou z najlepších welterových váh na svete.”

 

 

 

Cross (17-0, 11 KO) urobí veľký krok vpred vo svojej kariére, keď nastúpi proti Lopezovi. 27-ročný Cruz z jazera Mary, Florida bola členkou portorického národného tímu ako amatér a vychytala štyri víťazstvá 2017. Vo svojom poslednom boji bojoval s nepriazňou osudu prekonaním dvoch škrtov, aby dosiahol jednomyseľné rozhodnutie nad Davidom Graytonom v novembri. 21 na FS1 a tiež dvakrát porazil vtedy neporazeného Alexa Martina 2017 v dvojici vzrušujúcich súťaží na FS1.

 

 

 

“Som neuveriteľne nadšený, že mám zápas takéhoto rozsahu, pretože to je to, pre čo som vždy pracoval,” povedal Cruz. “Som pripravený otestovať svoje schopnosti proti niekomu, ako je Josesito Lopez. Patrím do novej éry v boxe, a v apríli zažiarim do sveta 28. Pre fanúšikov to bude úžasný boj a som pripravený na to, aby si každý užil môj výkon.”

 

 

 

Dirrell (31-1-1, 24 KO), bývalý majster sveta v super strednej váhe z Flintu, Michigan, v novembri na FS1 zvíťazil nad Denisom Douglinom. 33-ročný Dirrell získal titul jednomyseľným rozhodnutím nad Sakiom Bika v r. 2015 pred vypustením väčšinového rozhodnutia 2016 Badou Jackovi. Od tej straty, Dirrell vyhral štyri po sebe, vrátane víťazstva TKO nad aktuálnym majstrom sveta do 168 libier Calebom Truaxom v 2016.

 

 

 

“Abraham Han je dobrý bojovník, ktorý vyšiel z ťažkého žrebu s J'Leon Love, a chlap, za ktorého sa nedá obzrieť,” Said Dirrell. “Caleb Truax to dokázal, keď porazil Jamesa DeGalea o titul, takže sa teraz skutočne sústredím na tento boj. je vysoký, switch-hitter, ktorý prichádza priamo vpred, ale to nie je nič, čo by som nezvládol, pretože som vždy pripravený a vo forme držať sa svojho herného plánu a vykonať ho. Vždy hľadám knockout, a ak príde, potom to príde, a dostanem ho odtiaľ.”

 

 

 

On (26-3-1, 16 KO) sa už po deviatykrát vracia bojovať do svojho rodného mesta El Paso, vrátane víťazstva, ktoré získal v Don Haskins Center vo svojom piatom profesionálnom zápase. 33-ročný hráč sa chce odraziť po technickej remíze proti J'Leon Love v septembri minulého roka, v boji si mnohí mysleli, že Han vyhráva skôr, ako rozhodca zastavil boj kvôli poraneniu spôsobenému náhodným úderom hlavy. Vyhral tri súboje za sebou a smeroval do tohto súboja proti Láske.

 

 

 

“Anthony Dirrell ma pravdepodobne vníma ako niekoho, koho môže poraziť, kým bude čakať na titul, ale snažím sa pokaziť jeho plány,” povedal Han. “Cítil som sa, akoby som vyhral svoj posledný boj s J'Leonom a ľahko by som ho porazil, keby to nebolo zastavené. Toto je ďalšia skvelá príležitosť bojovať v mojom rodnom meste El Paso. Sústredím sa na to, aby som vyhrával každé kolo a predviedol skvelú šou pre svojich fanúšikov. Viem, že každý príde, podporí ma a pomôže mi priviesť ma k tomuto víťazstvu.”

 

 

 

Lara (29-0-1, 21 KO) zaznamenal dve víťazstvá, vrátane knockoutu proti bývalému šampiónovi Fernandovi Montielovi, keďže mal technickú remízu proti Jesusovi Rojasovi v 2015. Štyrikrát zrazil Montiela na ceste k stopke prvého kola v ich apríli 2016 zúčtovanie na FOX. 27-ročný južan z Guadalajary, Mexiko ukázalo ťažké ruky pre perovú váhu a v poslednom májovom zápase vyhralo TKO nad Mariom Brionesom. 20 na FS1.

 

 

 

“Trénoval som s bývalým šampiónom Alejandrom Gonzalezom, a štyri týždne po boji, Už som vo výbornej kondícii a v obrovskej bojovnej forme,” Said Lara. “Viem, že je to veľmi dôležitý boj, a že Marrero je veľmi ťažký súper, ale ja sa stanem víťazom, pretože som odhodlaný pokračovať na svojej ceste k zisku titulu majstra sveta. Po tom, uvidíme, ktorý šampión bude pripravený dať mi príležitosť.”

 

 

 

Marrero (22-2, 16 KO) jazdil sériu ôsmich víťazstiev, než prehral knockoutom s Jesusom Rojasom v jeho poslednom zápase. V rámci tejto série ôsmich víťazstiev dosiahol 29-ročný dominikánsky južan senzačné víťazstvo nad Carlosom Zambranom a získal dočasný titul v perovej váhe na FS1.. Jedinou ďalšou škvrnou na Marrerovom rekorde bola jednomyseľná prehra s bývalým majstrom sveta Jesusom Cuellarom v r. 2013.

 

 

 

“Teším sa, že budem bojovať v apríli 28 na tejto skvelej show v El Pase,” povedal Marrero. “Bojujem s neporazeným tvrdým mexickým bojovníkom, ale toto je ten typ boja, ktorý som chcel vrátiť do boja o titul. Som naozaj nadšený, že sa tam dostanem. Poď bojovať večer, uvidíte „Matrix“.’ v plnom rozsahu. Nenechajte si to ujsť, pretože to bude veľký boj.”

There’s so many emotions going through my head right now, that I still can’t wrap how it feels to be a champion now,” povedal Marrero. “I won’t let it distract me, because I’ll fight whoever is the best in my weight class. I knew what kind of fighter I was going up against and I knew what had to be done. I was hungry

Marrero extended a seven-fight win streak.
After being inactive for a year, of course my timing was a little off I am not happy at all with my performance,” said Zambrano. “This is a fight that was long awaited and I know Marrero has been eyeing me for a while, so it’s just unfortunate the way things ended.
I need to come back to the states and find sparring partners who can really help get me to the level that I want to be,” continued Zambrano. “For my record to be beaten at this point, its just really disappointing I have no other words to describe it.
The co-main event of the FS1 and FOX Deportes telecast ended in a sixth round TKO by hungry middleweight Nathaniel Gallimore (18-1-1, 15 KO) of Kingston, Jamaica over Jeison Rosario (12-1, 9 KO) Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.Both fighters came out swinging in the first round with Rosario taking it on all three judge’s scorecards. Ruženec, who had never gone past the fourth round started to slow down in the fifth as Gallimore took over.
I came into the fight confident then at some point something just happened, my body started to slow down,” said Rosario. “I got a little tired and I started to fight a little sloppy. My plan is to go back and begin working on my jab consistently, that was my weakness during throughout the fight.
Gallimore came out of the corner in the sixth round determined to end the fight and succeeded. He dropped Rosario, but the Dominican rose to his feet, only to be dropped by a hard upper cut. Nakoniec, it was a left hook that sent Rosario to the canvas for a third and final time as referee Jay Nady waved off the fight at 2:15 of the sixth round.
He was fighting really dirty the whole fight, I think he knew he was hurt early on,” said Gallimore. “I knew I had a lot more experience so I just started breaking him down round by round and that’s what got me the win. This was the first time he went so many rounds, so I think it really just got to him to the point where he was just trying to hold on the last few rounds. I came to finish him and that’s what I did.
In the main event of the FS2 and FOX Deportes telecast, super lightweight prospect Ladarius Miller (13-1, 4 KO) put on an impressive performance before stopping Jesus Gutierrez (14-2-1, 4 KO) in the eighth and final round of their matchup.
I am extremely happy with my performance,” said Miller. “This is the best Ladarius Miller I have shown. I was familiar with him as a fighter so I knew what I had to do in the ring. I thought I had him in the first round with the uppercut, but he was in a lot better shape than I thought. He took the punches but in the end I knew I would end up on top with the win. I’m just ready to get back in the ring and look ahead at my next challenge.
Miller out boxed Gutierrez with a combination of movement and lead left hands to take control of the first portion of the fight. Gutierrez attempted to close the distance between him and Miller, but was unable to muster up enough offense to slow down his opponent.
“Bol to veľký boj, I think we gave the fans what they wanted to see,” said Gutierrez. “I have nothing but respect for Ladarius, he came out dnes večer and showed what he was made of. I kept the pressure on and I thought that would be enough to get him.
Several back and forth flurries defined the final two rounds of the fight before Miller was eventually able to use a big right hand to floor Gutierrez and force referee Russell Mora to halt the fight at 2:34 into the eighth round.
The opening bout on FS2 and FOX Deportes saw former world champion Layla McCarter(39-13-5, 10 KO) dominate and eventually stop Szilvia Szabados (15-10, 6 KO) in the seventh-round of their welterweight bout.
I saw early in the fight an opportunity, to go for the body and that’s what I did,” said McCarter. “She took a lot of damage and was a tough opponent. I felt I could have brought it a lot harder, I had such a great training camp I wish I just would have delivered the Layla i know I can bring.
Szabados came out aggressive from the start, but the veteran contender McCarter picked her off with power punches throughout the early rounds before Szabados began to wear down and become frustrated.
She was a great opponent for me, there are definitely a lot more things that I need to go back home and work on,” said Szabados. “Celkovo, she came to win and she showed it. I brought a lot of toughness, but in the end she came out on top.
Referee Tony Weeks deducted a point from Szabados for blows to the back of the head early in round seven before a final flurry from McCarter forced the referee to stop the fight 56 sekúnd do kola.

World-Class Dominican Boxers Payano, Marrero and Vicente Sign Long-Term Agreements with King Kong Boxing Management

 

Well-known Florida-based manager/trainer Herman Caicedo proudly announces the signing of three of his world-class Dominican fighters, former WBA Super World Bantamweight Champion and WBA #2, WBC #11 contender Juan Carlos Payano, WBA #3 featherweight ClaudioThe Matrix” Marrero, and well-respected featherweight contender YenifelThe Lightning” Vicente, to multi-year managerial agreements with Jay Jimenez of King Kong Boxing Management.
The deal frees Caicedo, who formerly held both duties with the three fighters since their amateur days, to focus solely on training, while Jimenez takes the reins over furthering their careers in the professional boxing business.
32-year-old southpaw Payano (18-1, 9 KO) won the WBA strap in September 2014 by stopping long-time world champion Anselmo Moreno. He then defeated and lost a rematch to Ohio’s Rau’shee Warren. He was last seen scoring a TKO 7 over Isao Gonzalo Carranza in January of this year.
King Kong Boxing exploded on the scene with (former interim WBA Heavyweight Champion) Luis Ortiz and has fast-tracked the careers of several Cuban fighters,” said Payano. “I am very happy to be working with Jay Jimenez. And my trainer Herman has always been very honest with us and protected us from the sharks in boxing. Through his philosophy of hard work and dedication, I became a world champion. I am happy he will now be able to concentrate on training, which he is the best in the world at.
Marrero (21-1, 15 KO) will face Peru’s Carlos Zambrano for his interim WBA World Championship, as well as the IBO World Championship, na Február 24 in Palm Springs, Kalifornia.
Joining the King Kong team is great, but as we see it, we have been part of this team for some time,” povedal Marrero. “Jay has always helped us with anything we needed. It’s just official now. King Kong Boxing Management is looking to bring more superstar elite fighters to boxing’s forefront, through aggressive marketing and strategic alliances with top promoters in the business.
Vicente (30-3-2, 22 KO) is one of the world’s most exciting fighters. Currently riding a five-fight winning streak, the power-punching 30-year-old is a television favorite for his all-action fighting style.
Herman has done a great job with my training and my career,” povedal Vicente. “He has worked very hard for me and all his fighters. Now he will get some expert help from King Kong Boxing Management. I am looking forward to a very bright future working with these two great men.

Payano, Marrero and Yenifel Vicente are superstar, elite-level fighters,” said Jimenez. “Payano is a former champion, Marrero a soon to be champion and Vicente on a fast track to becoming a champion as well. This is exactly what King Kong Boxing is interested in signing: the very best. I have no doubt that Payano will once again become champion this year. Working with Herman is easy and inspiring. He brings the same approach to his training that I do to management. He is professional, smart, and a no-nonsense worker.

I am very sad and ecstatic at the same time,” said Caicedo. “I have been a trainer/ manager for over 23 years and believe that the only way to develop a champion is to avoid the distractions in boxing, such as when some managers change coaches like they change underwear. Bohužiaľ, most of the time fighters don’t have a say due to financial restraints or influence the manager might have. I did away with that as much as possible by doing most of the managing myself. King Kong Boxing is, zďaleka, the best management team in the business. These three fighters are special to me because we debuted as pros and became champions together. But I have zero doubt I made the right decision for the guyscareer and future. I want to thank Jay from King Kong Boxing for the trusting in me to work with his fighters over the past few years and for having the vision in the signing of his newest additions.
