Erislandy “El somni americà” Lara (24-2-2, 14 KOs), generally recognized as the best boxer in the super welterweight division and its longest reigning champion, will defend his title against undefeated 2012 U.S. Olímpic Terrell Gausha (20-0, 9 KOs).

“We are thrilled to continue our best year yet of BROOKLYN BOXING with our fifth major boxing event of 2017,” va dir Brett Yormark, CEO de Brooklyn Sports & Entreteniment. “We always aim to deliver fight fans an evening packed with top-notch matchups from start to finish, and this card certainly does that.”
Lara, a 34-year-old Cuban southpaw, owns victories over Trout, Alfredo Angulo and a slew of former champions and top contenders in addition to a controversial split decision loss to Canelo Alvarez on the way to cementing his credentials as the top boxer in the division. Lara will make the seventh defense of his world title as he continues to train with renowned trainer Ronnie Shields.
“I’m very excited to be making another title defense back on SHOWTIME headlining a great tripleheader,” Said Lara. “This is an interesting fight versus an undefeated U.S. Olympian in Terrell Gausha. I know he will be ready because it’s his opportunity to beat the best fighter in the division and become a champion. But come fight night, he will quickly realize and know why I’m the consensus No. 1 super welterweight in the world. After this performance, I look forward to, one-by-one, adding a WBC and IBF title to my collection.”
The 29-year-old Gausha, de Cleveland, Ohio, earned a shot at the world title with solid victories in his last two matches. He won a hard-fought decision over Steven Martinez last August and followed it up with another impressive victory over Luis Hernandez on Febrer. 10. Lara figures to be his toughest battle in his pro career that dates back to 2012.
“I’ve been talking about this since I was a three-year-old watching Muhammad Ali on television,” va dir Gausha. “I’m here now and blessed for this opportunity. Lara’s a tough fighter, champion and the best opponent I’ll fight on paper. He’s been in with the bigger names. But the better the opponent, the better I am, and I’m coming to dethrone him. Ell és astut, but the world hasn’t seen all that I can bring to the table. I’ll make adjustments on the fly and do things that I’ve never shown before. Seeing other Olympic team members win titles gives me motivation to earn the victory and the notoriety I’ve been looking for.”
Charlo of Houston, Texas will be making the second defense of his title, which he won by knockout victory over John Jackson on May 21, 2016. The 27-year-old Charlo successfully defended the title with a highlight reel knockout victory over fellow Texan Charles Hatley onAbril 22 Barclays Center. He and his twin brother, Jermall, both held world titles at 154-pounds, before Jermall relinquished his title to move up to 160 lliura. Charlo now trains in Dallas with Derrick James, trainer of world champion Errol Spence Jr.
“Lubin is young and hungry and I know he always comes to fight, but there’s a reason why I’m where I am in the sport,” Said Charlo. “I’ve been through the trenches and I don’t plan to stop anytime soon. This is what boxing always needs — two young, undefeated fighters willing to risk their ‘0’. But I think it’s a little early for Lubin to step in the ring with me, and I plan on keeping my title. Octubre 14 I’ll show everyone why I’m a world champion.”
Lubin, 21, is nicknamed “El Martell” because of his power in both hands and his ability to bring a quick conclusion to every match. Lubin of Orlando, Fla., has picked up 10 victories since the beginning of 2015 including seven knockouts on his way to contender status. Lubin most recently scored a sensational knockout of Jorge Cota in a title eliminator in March at Barclays Center.
“This is a fight for the fans,” va dir en Lubin. “You have an undefeated champion against an undefeated Prospect of the Year. I’m very excited to be fighting for the belt and it’s truly been a dream of mine ever since I first got into boxing. Come fight night, Charlo will either give it to me or I’m going to rip the belt out of his hands. Many fans and reporters have said that he’s one of the best, and that will make it even sweeter. My mentality will be to seek and destroy, so everyone tune-in to SHOWTIME on Octubre 14, you will witness boxing’s new superstar!”
Hurd, 26, will be making the first defense of the title that he won with a KO victory over Tony Harrison on Febrer. 25. Lluitant fora de ACCOKEEK, Maryland, Hurd soared up the rankings with stoppage victories over previously unbeaten fighters Frank Galarza and Oscar Molina at Barclays Center plus veteran Jo Jo Dan.
“I got a Trout to catch,” Said Hurd. “His losses have all been to top champions Canelo Alvarez, Erislandy Lara and Jermall Charlo. But I’m on a streak of six straight knockouts and Trout has never been stopped, so I’m looking for the stoppage to make a statement that the other fighters couldn’t make. This is definitely my toughest fight, and I didn’t have to take it since it’s a voluntary defense. But I wanted this fight to stop Austin Trout, proving to the fans and people in general I’m the real deal and a true champion.”
Truita, a 31-year-old southpaw from Las Cruces, Nou Mèxic, has faced some of the top 154-pound boxers in the division. He defeated Miguel Cotto in New York to win a title in 2012 and has close losses to Canelo Alvarez and Lara on his resume. In his most recent attempt at winning the title, Trout gave Jermall Charlo perhaps the toughest test of his career after looking impressive in four straight victories leading up to the challenge.
‘What a blessing it is to have this opportunity at a world title shot,” va dir Truita. “I want to thank everyone who has been in my corner to help get me career defining fights. It’s refreshing to see young champions showing heart and testing their skill with the best in the game. With thatsaid, salute to Hurd for allowing this fight to go through.”

En el futur, we will all have to face each other at some point. Així, expect some unification bout to be presented, and may the best man rise to the top. I know I’m ready to fight everyone, but first I must get past Foreman.”

L’entrenador de boxa Orlando Cuellar es remunta al futur a la 5a St. Gimnàs
 MIAMI (Octubre 26, 2016) — Entrenador de boxa de renom internacional Orlando Cuellar ha arribat a tot cercle, De tornada al famós 5º St. Gimnàs a South Beach, on una vegada va visitar com a adolescent per aprendre i ara entrena els combatents de sis dies a la setmana.
Nascut a l’Havana, Cuba, La família de Cuellar es va reinstal·lar a Miami quan tenia tres anys amb Orlando que hi vivia a través de l'escola secundària. Com un boxejador amateur, Cuellar recorda vívidament veure boxejadors a 5º St. Gimnàs com ara Cassius Clay, Willie Pastrano, Vinnie Curto i Florentino Fernandez, així com els formadors llegendaris, germans Angelo i Chris Dundee.
“Vaig veure i aprendre, recollint tot el que pogués,” Cuéllar va dir. “Ara, Em trobo treballant fora del 5º St. Gimnàs durant les darreres sis setmanes. Ha estat una experiència increïble. Cada dia, Mai no se sap qui caminarà per les portes allà. Ha estat un dels millors gimnasos de boxa del món durant més de 50 any. Des dels dies que es remunten a Muhammad Ali, Els combatents s’han atret per aquest gimnàs a causa de la seva rica història i de la seva gran sparring, així com a la zona amb restaurants de South Beach, clubs i platja. Els càlids, El clima humit també facilita la pèrdua de pes i l’entrenament.
“(Propietari) Dino Spencer està portant el 5º St. La tradició del gimnàs. Cada dia, sóc emocionant per a mi. Els grups ètnics mixtes s’entrenen allà i és un imant per al talent. Hi ha tres dies a la setmana – L’anomeno spar-a-rama – I tothom és benvingut a desafiar -se. El sparring és millor que moltes baralles de televisió.
 “5º St. Entrenador de gimnàs Noi Laieta havia estat intentant convèncer -me per unir -me a l'equip durant els últims cinc anys. Vaig parlar amb Dino en diverses ocasions, expressant el meu desig de formar els combatents fora del 5º St. Gimnàs. Ell va dir, "Fem -ho.’ L'èxit del 5º St. El gimnàs avui té molt a veure amb la propietat. Dino té una passió per la boxa i és molt hospitalari, que s’enganxa al seu personal i als combatents. Bones vibracions tot el temps!”
Cuellar va marxar cap a Las Vegas a 1976 i, Després que es va adonar que ser boxejador no era del seu millor interès, Va començar a entrenar combatents allà 1981 del gimnàs de Johnny Garcia. Un any després, Va canviar la seva base Brooklyn i va començar a entrenar els combatents d'una altra icona de boxa, Gimnàs Gleason. En 2000, Es va reinstal·lar a Miami.
Més conegut com a campió mundial de pes pesat, el principal entrenador de Glen Johnson, Cuellar també va treballar amb futurs campions com ara Nicolas Walters, Rances Barthelemy i Erslandy Lara, així com Luis Franco, Aaron Davis i Joan Carles Gomez, per nomenar alguns dels més notables. Avui, És el segon cap de diversos combatents més importants, inclòs Antonio Tarver.
Reconegut al llarg de la boxa com a professor superior, L’èxit de Cuellar s’atribueix principalment a la seva formació de combatents de forma individual, centrant -se en les seves necessitats personals en lloc de donar a tots els combatents les mateixes instruccions i atenció.
“Cada lluitador necessita obra personal i específica per complementar els seus talents donats per Déu,” Va explicar Cuellar. “No podeu ensenyar a tots els combatents de la mateixa manera. M’especialitzo en el que anomeno la vella escola coneix una nova escola. La vella escola era per davant i personal per anar -hi 15 rondes, La nova escola consisteix a llançar més cops de puny, més moviment de peus i lluites des de fora. Ensenyo doffense: defensa + ofensa. Els cops de puny no són vitamines, No s’ha de prendre cap. La boxa és poc més que una batalla de reflexos; un combatent versus un altre, Però el veritable truc és com el lluitador utilitza els seus reflexos. Ensenyo als meus combatents a convertir el davantal de l’anell en un camp de mines.”
La boxa ha tingut un paper important en la vida de Cuellar. De nou al 5º St. El gimnàs és només un altre capítol de la seva vida única.
“Visc a través dels meus combatents,” Cuellar va concloure. “Cada victòria és el meu moment més orgullós. No hi ha victòries grans ni petites, Cada victòria és un moment feliç a causa de tot el treball dur i em sacrifica i el meu lluitador durant el camp d’entrenament.”
Orlando Cuellar està encantat d’haver tornat al futur.
