Super Bowl-kampioen en Oakland moedertaal Marshawn Lynch, 'n ywerige Andre Ward ondersteuner, het 'n spesiale verskyning tydens die oefensessie ter ondersteuning van Wyk.

 

Hieronder is wat die vegters te sê gehad het tydens die finale media oefensessie:

 

ANDRE WARD, Twee keer wêreldkampioen en top-gegradeerde pond-vir-pond vegter:

"Ek voel goed en ek is gereed om saam. Ek is 'n hoogtepunt op die regte tyd. Ek is net opgewonde om dit te kry Saterdagnag.

 

"Ek gebruik om te ry deur Oracle Arena op 880 soos 'n kind op pad na King's Gym en wonder of ek kan dit daar moet julle dit op 'n dag en [afrigter] Virgil [Hunter] gebruik om met vertroue sê, 'Jy gaan kop daar. "Soos ek ouer geword het, Ek gebruik om te gaan na 'n paar van die kaarte sit in die arena. Ek was nog 'n amateur en ek wil net droom. Volgende ding wat jy weet, in 2009, Ek was in 'n wasbak of swem stryd teen Edison Miranda. As ek gewen, Daar was waarskynlik 'n goeie kans dat ek 'n titel geskiet sou kry en die res is geskiedenis. Hier is ons weer, dit is my 7^ste tyd by Oracle en dit is nog steeds 'n seën.

 

"Dit was die regte tyd om te skuif na die lig swaargewig. Dit was 'n kombinasie van nie met die regte ouens te veg of ouens wat nie wil hê ek moet veg. Ek wil groot wees. Dit is die tipe bewegings wat jy hoef te maak. Ek is 'n student van die sport en toe ek studeer die sport, dit is wat grotes altyd gedoen. Hulle beweeg op. Die grotes vind 'n manier om dit te doen en ek wil wees in daardie gesprek.

 

"Barrera is 'n groot liggaam. Hy is vol vertroue. Lyk na 'n goeie ponser wees. Ons het hom nie haal, want hy is 'n sagte aanraking. Ons het hom, want hy is van plan om my gereed te kry en wys my wat hierdie gewig klas is alles oor. As jy kyk na my loopbaan, daar is 'n plek vir tune-ups wat ek nie baie gehad het. Jy wil die beste te veg en as jy nie die stryd teen die beste, jy wil die nommer een aanspraakmaker veg. Dit is wat ons doen.

 

"Ek dink ek ontwikkel in 'n doeltreffende vegter. Ek beweeg toe ek het om te beweeg. Ek dink dit is die skoonheid van 'n atleet wat nie sy liggaam nie misbruik en neem regtig sy handewerk ernstig. Ek het 'n paar artikels wat beweer ek my eerste gemis gesien. Dit is mal vir my. Ek voel dat ek so goed soos wat ek nog ooit gewees het. Ek het in 'n boks gym het sonder veel van 'n onderbreking vir die afgelope 20 jaar. My brein het my bedank vir die afgelope twee jaar. My liggaam het my bedank. Dit mag dalk vir my gee nog twee jaar in my loopbaan.

 

"Ek moet net my. Wie ek is genoeg. Ek het nie om te wys vir Kovalev in die skare Saterdagnag. Ons moet net die spel te implementeer. Ek dink dit gaan die boodskap wat dit veronderstel is om te stuur stuur en as dit nie gebeur nie, Dan sal hy [Kovalev] kry die boodskap wanneer ons veg.

 

"As ek nie hierdie stryd te wen, daar is niks in die pad af. As ek nie hierdie stryd te wen, Ek verdien nie om te veg vir die titel. Dit is die realiteit van my situasie.

 

"Barrera het nooit geveg 'n man soos ek voor, sodat hulle kan 'n goeie wedstryd te praat. Hulle kan oorheers die nuus in die aanloop tot die stryd. Hulle kan sê al die gladde dinge wat hulle wil sê. Ons wil net die hoofopskrifte oorheers Sondag oggend na die stryd is verby. Dit is wat ek is gefokus op. "

 

SULLIVAN Barrera, Nommer een gegradeerde IBF lig swaargewig aanspraakmaker:

"Ek is sterker as Ward. Ek het die Kubaanse agtergrond en ek het baie geleer van vaardighede is daar. Meer as enigiets, die vasberadenheid om iets voor my oorkom sal my help verslaan Wyk op Maart 26.

 

"Sodra ek in die ring, dit is my huis.

 

"Wat ook al Ward het, Ek sal pas by dit en oorwin dit.

 

"Ek het twee hande. Hy het twee hande. Ek het 'n werk om te doen op Maart 26.

 

"Ek weet Wyk en Kovalev is baie hoogs gerespekteerde en hulle maak 'n klomp geld en 'n groot belangstelling, maar hulle weet nie wat Sullivan Barrera in staat is om te doen. Ek sal bewys dat Saterdag.

 

"Ek is nie regtig 'n man wat om te kyk vir 'n uitklophou. My boks vaardighede spreek vanself. Ek veg Andre Ward en veg hier in Oakland, so ek dink nie 'n besluit geneem sal word gelewer in my guns.

 

"Aan al die ondersteuners, veral die Kubaanse ondersteuners wat ondersteun my asseblief weet wat kom Saterdag, Ek gaan alles wat ek moet doen om die oorwinning behaal uit te kom doen. "

JOSEPH DIAZ JR., NABF veergewigkampioen:

"Ek kan nie verwag dat wat Jayson het om Ronny Rios gedurende hierdie stryd. Ek het om daar te gaan, toets hom uit en pas toe ek in die ring.

 

"As die geleentheid hom voordoen waar hy seergemaak en ek sien dat my stoot hom is oorweldigend, dan natuurlik gaan ek daar uit te kom, wees aggressief en maak seker ek hom uithaal so vroeg as moontlik.

 

"Ek weet om aan die binnekant, af te sny die ring en neem dit na die liggaam dadelik sal hom breek. Dit gaan om hom te laat nie soveel beweeg en later in rondes Ek kan kwaai slae grond aan die hoof. Ek gaan dit dadelik na die liggaam.

 

"Verstandelik ek 100% gereed. Dit is 'n groot stap in my loopbaan, so ek geestelik gefokus. Ek is goed voorberei. Ek voel soos hierdie is die oomblik het ek gewag het vir my hele hele lewe. Ek voel asof ek gereed vir hierdie en ek kan nie wag vir Maart 26. Ek opgelei baie hard vir hierdie stryd en ek is goed voorbereid vir dit.

 

"Ek wil regtig 'n verklaring gesê die stryd te maak. Ek wil die wêreld gehad, dat Josef Diaz die volgende groot ding in boks kan wys, so ek opgelei baie hard aan 'n groot stryd vir die stryd aanhangers te sit, wees baie aggressief en maak dit 'n oorlog in daar. Ek hoop dat Jayson Velez is 110% gereed, want ek wil hê hy moet wees op sy beste.

 

"As ek wen hierdie stryd en maak 'n verklaring, Ek dink ek kan skuif na aanspraakmaker status en hopelik kry 'n wêreldtitel geskiet teen die einde van vanjaar. Ek wil taai teenstanders veg vanjaar, want ek wil die wêreld wat ek wys.

 

"Ek voel soos 'n dier wanneer ek stap in die ring en ek kan dit sien in sparring. Wanneer ek landing effektiewe waai, Ek kan jou vertel dat ek seer het my teenstander. "

Jayson Velez, Top-gegradeerde veergewigtitel aanspraakmaker:

"Op my vlak, Elke ou is 'n top-aanspraakmaker. Ek moet harder oefen en die verbetering van my verdediging. Ek het gewerk op daardie.

 

"As jy kyk na my laaste drie of vier gevegte, sal jy sien dat ek oorheers in die eerste paar rondtes en dan loop ek uit gas, Ek is besig met my stamina sodat nie sal gebeur op Maart 26.

 

"Ek het Diaz se gevegte gesien. Ons het 'n paar keer sparred. Hy het spoed. Hy het 'n hongersnood. Dis sy HBO debuut, sodat hy beslis gemotiveer, maar so is ek. Dit gaan 'n groot stryd wees.

 

"Ek wil kampioen van die woord wees. Ek weet hy wil dit ook. Op Saterdag, ons sal weet wie wil dit meer. Ons het albei wil om te wen en ons is albei opleiding vir 'n oorwinning. 'N stryd tussen krag en spoed is 'n groot wedstryd-up. Om nie te praat hy Mexikaanse en ek is Puerto Rikaanse. Jy kan verwag dat 'n groot stryd en dit is nie een wat jy wil misloop nie. "

Op Maart 26, NABO Junior Welterweight Champion Maurice “Mighty Mo” Hooker (19-0-2, 14 Uitklophoue) risks his unbeaten record against Wilfrido “La Roca” Buelvas (17-5, 11 Uitklophoue) of Barranquilla, Colombia in a ten-round junior welterweight bout. Hooker, rated number seven by the WBO, is coming off of a career-best win on October 17, 2015 against his toughest opponent to date in Ghislain Maduma (17-2, 11 Uitklophoue) by Madison Square Garden. Hooker successfully defended his NABO title with the 10-round decision win over Maduma on the undercard of Gennady Golovkin vs. David Lemieux in a fight that was featured on the event’s “freeview” in the United States and streamed online around the world. Buelvas, a former WBA Fedebol champion, has won two of his last three bouts by knockout and fought Humberto Soto for the WBC Silver International Super Lightweight title in 2014, going the 12-round distance before losing a decision to the former World Champion.

 

Born and raised in Oak Cliff, Texas, a rough suburb of Dallas, Hooker found a boxing home at Maple Avenue Boxing Gym by way of an outreach program for at-risk youths. His natural talent was soon noticed resulting in him competing as an amateur, during which time he participated in over 100 gevegte, compiling a record of 97 oorwinnings en slegs 7 verliese, met 67 victories coming by way of knockout. Hooker turned professional on April 29, 2011, taking on the vastly more experienced Tyrone Chatman (7-1, 5 KO se) at the Orpheum Theater in St. Louis. After four rounds, the judges saw the fight 40-36, 37-39 en 38-38, making the fight a split draw. Onbelemmerd, in his next fight on June 24, 2014, Hooker scored his first professional win, knocking out Wilbert Mitchell in the first round at the Dr. Pepper Arena in Frisco, Texas. Eleven wins (eight by knockout) later, he took on undefeated Abel Ramos (8-0, 4 KO se) Januarie 17, 2014 in a bout that was featured on ShoBox from the Cook Convention Center in Memphis. After eight close, hard-fought rounds, the judges saw the fight a draw. Hooker followed the draw with a six-round unanimous decision win over Adrian Rodriguez Garza (8-2, 6 KO se) op April 26 at Fitzgerald’s Casino and Hotel in Tunica, Mississippi. Four consecutive knockout victories would follow before he took on fellow undefeated prospect Eduardo Galindo (10-0-1, 7 KO se) Junie 26, 2015 at the Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center in Dallas for the vacant NABO Junior Welterweight Championship. “Mighty Mo” did not disappoint his legion of hometown fans who saw him capture the title with a sixth round technical knockout victory.

 

Hailing from Rancho Cucamonga, Kalifornië en veg uit die boks broeikas van Oxnard, onoorwonne Daniel "Twitch" Franco (12-0-3, 7 KO se) meets Mexican veteran German “Panteonero” Meraz(52-37-1, 30 Uitklophoue) in an eight-round featherweight bout on Maart 26. Featured for the second time on a Ward undercard, the sharp-boxing Franco will look to improve on his undefeated record against an opponent with literally six times his pro boxing experience. Meraz is only 29 years old but has already logged an amazing 90 professional bouts and has won four of his last six fights by knockout. He has fought current World Champion Juan Carlos Payano, Three-Time U.S. Olympian Rau’shee Warren and highly-touted prospect Gervonta Davis, going the distance with all three.

 

Franco began boxing at the age of eight, amassing 'n amateur rekord van 67-15, wen die kampioenskap in Oxnard PAL 2006 en die California State Silver Gloves Championship in 2007 langs die pad. Gedurende professionele debuut Franco se Desember 18, 2010, verslaan hy Emanuel Machorro by Club 401 in Ontario, California via 'n derde ronde tegniese uitklophou. Ondanks die feit dat ingeskryf as 'n voltydse student by Chaffey College in Rancho Cucamonga, Franco beïndruk vroeg in sy loopbaan, die opstel van 'n onoorwonne rekord met twee trek in plekke in Kalifornië teen die einde van 2013. Een van dié trekkings het teen Alejandro Ochoa rustige kanon in Montebello, Kalifornië op September 20, 2013, but in a rematch three months later, Franco gaan wen Ochoa scoring 'n ses-round eenparig besluit oorwinning in Westin Bonaventure Hotel in Los Angeles. Op Junie 20, 2015, during Ward’s return to the ring at Oracle Arena, Franco saw action in an eight-round junior lightweight bout against Jonathan Alcantara and won by unanimous decision. A hand injury suffered in that bout kept Franco out of action until Desember 21when he scored a decision victory over Hector Garcia in Tijuana, Mexiko.

 

A promising unbeaten prospect from Salinas, Kalifornië, Rudy “The Revelation” Puja. Jr. (7-0, 6 Uitklophoue)looks to extend his undefeated streak against Carlos “Kalimba” Lozano (7-5, 4 Uitklophoue) van Ensenada, Mexico in a six-round middleweight bout. Puga turned in a career-best performance in his last match-up on February 12 in knocking out Alejandro Osuna (4-2, 2 KO se) in two rounds at the Double Tree Hotel in Ontario, Kalifornië. Nou, just a little over a month later, “The Revelation” will step into the ring against a tough opponent in Lozanao, a southpaw who has never been stopped and already has a ten-round decision victory under his belt.

 

Having compiled an exceptional amateur record of 99-8, Puga made his professional debut on September 2, 2011, scoring a fourth round technical knockout victory over Raul Talamontes at the Sports Complex in his hometown. Back in the ring less than two months later, Puga Jr. raised his record to 2-0 with a first round technical knockout of Jose Jesus Hurtado at the Sherwood Inn in Salinas. In Junie 2012, he sent Thomas Turner to the mat four times in scoring a second round technical knockout win at the Joint at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. After a little more than a year away from the ring, he rededicated himself to the “sweet science” with a vengeance and on February 17, 2014, Puga Jr. made his comeback stopping Charon Spain in the third round with an overpowering body shot at the Salinas Storm House in his native Salinas. Promotional issues kept Puga Jr. out of the ring for the next year and injuries led to a slow 2015, but Puga Jr. scored a a fourth round technical knockout win over of Katrell Straus on April 24 and a six-round unanimous decision over Juan Carlos Rojas on November 21, both fights taking place at the Double Tree Hotel in Ontario, Kalifornië.

 

Brooklyn’s 20-year-old, onoorwonne Junior “The Young God” Younan (7-0, 6 KO se) keer terug na die ring op Maart 26 after a nine-month layoff to take on Cristian Solorzano (4-7, 3 Uitklophoue) van Sonora, Mexico in a four-round super middleweight fight. Younan has battled multiple nagging injuries since scoring a second round technical knockout victory over Mike Sawyer on the Miguel Cotto vs. Daniel Geale undercard on June 6, 2015 by Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Nou 100 percent healthy, Younan looks to make Solozano his third straight knockout victim. Solorzano, a naturally bigger fighter, has campaigned in the light heavyweight division and is coming off of a knockout win.

 

Younan, trained by his father Sherif, a former professional boxer himself, began fighting competitively at age eight and only two years later was called a “boxing prodigy” by the New York Times. He compiled an amateur record of 90-5, racking up an impressive series of titles along the way including nine Junior Olympic championships, nine Junior Metro championships, eight New York State Silver Gloves championships and five Regional Silver Gloves championships. In 2011, he was crowned National Junior Golden Gloves champion and was U.S.A. Boxing’s number one rated junior boxer in his weight class. Less than a month after his 18^ste verjaarsdag, Younan made his professional debut on November 9, 2013, at the Aviator Sports and Events Center in Brooklyn, New York, stopping Kenneth Schmitz in the first round. Younan would go on to knockout his next three opponents before going the distance for the first time against Azamat Umarzoda on July 2, 2014 op Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut. He followed that fight with a first round knockout of Marlon Farr on Augustus 13 the BB King Blues Club and Grill in New York on Augustus 13.

Chinese heavyweight Zhang “Big Bang” Zhilei (7-0, 4 Uitklophoue) joins the undercard on Maart 26 in a four-round bout against an opponent yet to be determined. The Silver Medalist from the 2008 Beijing Olympics continues to infuse excitement into the heavyweight division and is coming off of a first round technicalknockout win over David Koswara on February 20 at the Lanzhou Sports Arena in Lanzhou, China.

 

Born on May 2, 1983 in Henan, Zhang began his amateur career in 2003, participating in the World Championships. A breakthrough came in 2007 at the World Championships where Zhang defeated the trio of Nurpais Torobekov, Rustam Rygebayev and Daniel Beahan en route to the semifinals where he lost to Ukrainian Vyacheslav Glazkov. By capturing a bronze medal and finishing the competition in third place, he qualified for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. The Chinese powerhouse nearly reached the zenith of amateur success in the summer of 2008, entering the super heavyweight finals at the Summer Olympics in Beijing against Italy’s Roberto Cammarelle. It was not to be as Zhang suffered his first defeat of that Olympiad, losing to Cammarelle, but proudly adding to the host country’s medal total with a Silver. In 2009, Zhang captured a gold medal at the China National Games, an event of equal prestige to the Olympics in China. 2013 saw yet another gold medal winning performance in the China National Games, setting the stage for “Big Bang” to embark on a professional career while basing himself in the United States. Op Augustus 8, 2014, Zhang made his professional debut by scoring a first-round knockout win over Curtis Lee Tate in Fallon, Nevada in a fight that was televised live on ESPN2. Maart 14, 2015, Zhang beat Eric George via a four-round unanimous decision at the Armory in Jersey City, New Jersey. He followed that with another four-round unanimous decision win, this time over Glenn Thomas on the highly anticipated Cotto-Geale undercard at Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Junie 6. Next came a sixth round technical knockout win over Dennis Benson at The Playground in Atlantic City on Augustus 15. To end the year, Zhang was featured on the undercard of the November 21 Cotto vs. Canelo mega-fight at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, where scored a four-round unanimous decision victory over Juan Goode.

 

Plaaslike Hayward, California gunsteling Aaron Coley (12-1-1, 6 KO se) faces a very stern test in a six-round junior middleweight bout against Gevolg Ryskeldiev (11-3-2, 7 Uitklophoue) of West Hollywood, Kalifornië, a Kyrgyzstan native who is undefeated in his last seven fights.

 

Op Maart 26, Coley will look follow his most recent victory, a unanimous decision over Jeremy Ramos onJanuarie 23 at the Marriott on Broadway in Oakland, with another win in front of his hometown fans. Prior to his January win he scored two unanimous decision triumphs, including his June 20, 2015 performance against Yusmani Abreu (who Ryskeldiev defeated by technical knockout in September) on the undercard of Ward’s last fight. Considered a promising prospect in boxing circles, Coley’s lone loss came via decision to one of boxing’s hottest prospects in Ievgen Khytrov in a bout that was televised live on Showtime’s ShoBox on April 10, 2015 from The Aviator Sports Complex in Brooklyn, New York.

Ward vs. Barrera, a 12-round fight which is presented by Roc Nation Sports in association with Main Events, plaasvind Saterdag, Maart 26, 2016 by Oracle Arena in Oakland, California and is sponsored byCorona Extra, Ticket, Corporate Travel Management Solutions (CTMS), bly, opheffing, Zappos, BodyArmor, SAN Voeding, Shoe Palace and The Waterfront Hotel.
