Sugar Ray Leonard, Errol Spence Jr., Keith Thurman, Manny Pacquiao & More Discuss Saturday, Setembro 8 Matchup Live on SHOWTIME from Barclays Center in Brooklyn & Apresentado pela Premier Boxe Campeões

BROOKLYN (Setembro 5, 2018) – Top welterweight stars of the past, present and future have weighed in with their thoughts on the highly anticipated matchup that pits former welterweight champions Danny Garcia e Shawn Porter against each other for the vacant WBC Welterweight World Title Saturday, Setembro 8 no evento principal ao vivo no canal Showtime do Barclays Center, a casa de BROOKLYN BOXE ™.

 

 

 

A transmissão Showtime Championship Boxing começa às 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT and features a welterweight title eliminator between Cuba’s Yordenis Ugas and Argentina’s Cesar Barrionuevo and heavyweight action that pits unbeaten Polish slugger Adam Kownacki against former heavyweight champion Charles Martin.

 

 

 

Os ingressos para o evento ao vivo, which is promoted by TGB Promotions and DiBella Entertainment, in association with DSG Promotions, começa ás $50 e já estão à venda. Os bilhetes podem ser comprados em ticketmaster.com, barclayscenter.com, ou pelo telefone 800-745-3000. Tickets can also be purchased at the American Express Box Office at Barclays Center. Grupo descontos estão disponíveis pelo telefone 844-BKLYN-GP.

 

 

 

Here is what a group of current and former welterweight fighters had to say about the Garcia vs. Porter world title showdown:

 

Sugar Ray Leonard, Hall of Famer & Former Unified Welterweight World Champion

 

 

 

“I feel the Danny Garcia vs. Shawn Porter fight has the makings of an exciting fight from what I’ve seen of both of these talented fighters. So here is my prediction based on what I feel both fighters bring into the ring

 

 

 

Garcia will win if he uses his jab to keep Porter at bay and off balance, but Porter gains a victory if he connects and hurts Garcia early and makes him abandon his boxing ability and fight like a slugger — as I did with my first fight vs Roberto Duran.

 

 

 

This is how I see this matchup which should be an exciting fight!”

 

ERROL SPENCE JR., Unbeaten IBF Welterweight World Champion

 

 

 

“I definitely want to fight the winner of Danny Garcia vs. Shawn Porter. That’s a close fight. I always picked against Danny Garcia in the past, and he always proved me wrong. Shawn Porter’s always a tough fight, because he’s going to come forward and give it his all. He’s basically trying to mug you. Mas para essa luta, it’s hard to go against Danny Garcia. I pick Danny Garcia to win a split decision.”

 

KEITH THURMAN, WBA Welterweight Campeão do Mundo; Former Unified Champion

 

 

 

“I honestly love this fight, and I consider it a tremendous battle and one of the best matchups of the year. Para mim, having fought both of them, I do believe that each is capable of hurting the other and getting one another out of there.

 

 

 

“I know most fans are going to lean toward Danny Garcia with his knockout power and the potential for that. Then there is Shawn, who’s got a decent punch, even though he focuses on his output more than his one-punch solid blow and has it in his arsenal to hurt Danny Garcia.

 

 

“I wouldn’t bet on Shawn getting the knockout, but I would on Shawn getting the victory, simply because of his output. I think Danny’s only chance of winning is by knockout, but even as a gambling man, I can’t put my money on Danny getting it. I’m taking Shawn Porter by decision.”

 

MANNY PACQUIAO, Multiple-Time Welterweight World Champion

 

 

 

“I’m going to give the edge to Danny Garcia. They’re both gritty fighters, but I think Garcia is a little more technical with a little more ring generalship. Deve ser uma grande luta, and there’s a possibility of me fighting the winner, but we’ll have to see what happens.”

 

MIKEY GARCIA, Four-Division World Champion

 

 

 

“I think this is a very good matchup. Shawn Porter is the kind of athlete who is always bringing the fight to you with pressure and volume punching. They both come to fight and they can both take it and dish it out.

 

 

 

“Danny Garcia can use his skills to box on the outside and work from a distance. I think Danny will be able to box a little more and win more of the tight rounds in a very close fight. I’m not sure if it will be a split-decision or a unanimous decision. I believe that Danny will use more of those tactics to win an exciting decision.”

 

YORDENIS UGAS, Top Welterweight Contender

 

 

 

“I have much respect for Shawn Porter, and I think it will be a great fight but, Danny Garcia has more technique and he’s also faced and beaten better opponents than Porter. I am leaning toward Danny Garcia to pull off the victory.”

 

Robert Guerrero, Former Multiple Division World Champion

 

 

 

“This will be a very entertaining fight for the fans. I can see Danny putting up a good fight, but Porter is going to make the fight rough, and Garcia doesn’t like those type of fights. I’m going with Porter to win by split decision.”

 

VICTOR ORTIZ, Former Welterweight World Champion

 

 

 

“Eu acho que vai ser uma luta em ritmo acelerado. Shawn will be pushing forward, making it rough on Danny, and Danny will be trying to control the distance. I’m going with Danny, giving him the slight edge and saying he wins by a decision.”

 

JAMAL JAMES, Welterweight Contender

 

 

 

“It’s a good one. Shawn is busier than Danny, more active and carries a lot of momentum when he fights. But that’s not always a good thing because Garcia has power with his timing, he might be able to catch Porter coming in. I’m thinking that Shawn Porter pulls it off. ”

 

Brandon Rios, O ex-Campeão do Mundo & Welterweight Title Challenger

 

 

 

“That’s a really tough fight to predict. If Danny can counter really well and keep Shawn Porter off of him while Porter’s coming in, then I see Danny stopping him.

 

 

 

But if Shawn Porter is able to pressure Danny like he usually does, I don’t see Shawn Porter stopping Danny, or anything, but I see him winning by split-decision if he can be in his chest all night long. But if Porter gets nailed with one of those left hooks or a straight right hand, I say Porter goes down. I’m going to go with Danny because he knocked me out.”

 

BRYANT PERRELLA, Welterweight Prospect

 

 

 

“It could come down to how well Shawn Porter can take Danny Garcia’s punches in a fight that’s really hard to predict, and how well Danny can move, given that he’s not known for having fast feet similar to a guy like Keith Thurman.

 

 

 

But if Shawn can get close and smother Danny’s punches, he will make it a difficult fight. But Danny’s got really heavy hands and sits on his shots well, timing and counter-punching guys, so Porter could play into his hands.

 

 

 

Based off of clean, effective hard shots and giving him the edge in the close, competitive rounds, I’m leaning toward Danny Garcia. Shawn is tough as nails, so I see it going the distance, but just the slight edge to Danny.”

 

SAMMY VASQUEZ JR., Welterweight Contender

 

 

 

 

“I’m going with Shawn Porter. Not by stoppage, but Shawn creates too much pressure and Danny Garcia doesn’t throw enough punches and doesn’t deal with pressure. You saw that when he fought Guerrero, who wasn’t looking too bad in that fight.

 

 

 

“Danny can win by knockout if he catches Shawn with that hook, but Shawn’s a workhorse and he puts forth far more pressure than I think Danny’s ever seen in a fight. Shawn may not be susceptible to it if he doesn’t have the proper head movement, but I believe that he will.”

“Eu sabia que se eu bater nele novamente ele provavelmente iria cair,”Spence disse. “Esse foi o meu plano de jogo. Eu sou o ladrão de corpo. Se ele reage estranhamente, Eu continuo indo para o corpo e eu continuo quebrando-o para baixo “.

 

 

 

Após a luta, Dallas Cowboys proprietário Jerry Jones juntou Spence no ringue para felicitá-lo pela vitória.

“Eu sei que eu errei em treinamento,”Flores disse. “Eu não fiz o peso, mas eu ainda queria fazer e dar-lhe tudo o que tenho.

 

 

 

“Nós dois batem um no outro monte um. eu bati (Romano) com alguns bons tiros, Eu simplesmente não podia acabar com ele. Eu era provavelmente ao redor 60 por cento de energia-wise. A partir da quinta rodada em diante eu tinha apenas lutar com coração puro.

 

 

 

"(Romano) colocar em um grande show para os fãs, E isso é o que me faz sentir bem. Isso é tudo que eu queria era fazer uma boa luta.”

Momentos depois, Granados e Fortuna foram conquistando ao longo das cordas perto do canto Granados’ quando Fortuna caiu para trás através das cordas, chicoteando seu pescoço enquanto ele caiu para trás. Queixando-se de dor e falta de movimento, Fortuna foi estabilizada com um colar cervical e removido a partir do anel em uma maca em que foi mais tarde descrita como uma medida de precaução.

 

 

 

No momento da interrupção, Grandos foi líder em todos os três scorecards dos juízes.

 

 

 

“Eu não empurrá-lo. Eu acho que ele caiu com o seu próprio,”Granados disse. “Eu acho que ele estava procurando uma desculpa em seu caminho para fora. Nós dois estávamos lutando, mas eu sabia que ele podia sentir que eu estava ficando mais forte. Ele me pegou com um tiro e ele só me apareceu.

 

 

 

“Em primeiro lugar quero apenas rezar para que ele está OK. Vamos fazer a revanche. Eu estava morrendo para uma luta em 140.”

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday ahead of the first boxing event to take place inside Ford Center at The Star:

 

ERROL SPENCE JR.

 

 

 

“I’m really happy to be here and I’m so happy that everyone came out. Saturday night is going to be great. Venho treinando para 10 weeks and I’m 100 percent focused on Ocampo. I’m here to do my job, which is to win and look good winning.

 

 

 

“Ocampo is very dangerous because he has nothing to lose. It’s his first title fight, which is a position I’ve been in before. I had a lot of fire and I felt like I had nothing to lose. I’m sure he’s been training hard and is focused. I know he’s fighting for him family so he’s going to come to fight. I want a guy who’s going to test me so the crowd gets their money’s worth.

 

 

 

“I’ve had pressure my whole boxing career. Being on Olympian and a top prospect was pressure, but then I also went overseas to take the title from a top fighter. I’ve always overcome the pressure on me and I’m going to overcome another test on Saturday night.

 

 

 

“Every fight is a statement fight. Não importa o que eu estou lutando. All eyes are on me in the welterweight division. People want to see if there are chinks in my armor, so it’s important for me to put on a great performance and prove I’m the best welterweight in the division.

 

 

 

“Dallas already is a boxing town, just not enough boxing comes here. I can be the star who has annual fights and bring the city out like we’re doing Saturday night. I’m going to prove we’re a boxing city in Dallas and that Texas is a boxing state period. I do this for the whole state.

 

 

 

“We work hard every camp and we’re 100 percent dedicated. There hasn’t been much difference in this camp than normal. The sparring with Jermell Charlo was top quality and has me prepared for Saturday night.

 

 

 

“I’m ready to line up those other champions. I’ve said that since I was 15-0. I want to fight every opponent and take them out no matter who it is. I’m here to prove that I’m the best in the division.”

 

CARLOS OCAMPO

 

 

 

“We’re here on the same stage and I’m ready. I’m appreciative to be here and I’m calm. I have nothing to lose. He has all the pressure of being in his hometown. I’m just relaxed and ready to fight.

 

 

 

“I’ve studied his fights enough. What’s most important is that I know that he has everything to lose and I don’t. He has a home field advantage, mas no final do dia, it’s just two guys in the ring.

 

 

 

“I’ve gotten a great reception from the people here in Dallas. I’ve been treated like a champion and after Saturday I’ll be a world champion. You don’t want to miss this fight.

 

 

 

“He can try to come and knock me out, but this is my dream. This is what I’ve trained my whole life for and I’m not going to let this chance pass me by.

 

 

 

“I’m going to use my height, distance and jab throughout the fight. The counter will be important for me. I’m going to look to catch him so he better be ready.

 

 

 

“Vou deixar tudo no ringue. I’m going to show what I have and give everyone a great performance from start to finish.”

 

DANIEL ROMAN

 

 

 

“Flores is a tough opponent. I don’t overlook anybody. I know he’s going to come in and fight. Defending my belt is the only thing that’s on my mind.

 

 

 

“We work hard like always. The only thing that changes in camp is strategy, and we will be ready for anything Flores can bring.

 

 

 

“We’re going to be ready for his pressure. I’m going to fight a smart fight. If we have a chance to take him out early, then I’m going to jump on it. You never know what could happen in a fight.

 

 

 

“Flores is not an easy opponent. Nobody is at this level. I just work hard every day like it’s my first shot at a world title. I know that if I put in the work, everything will come together in the ring.”

 

MOISES FLORES

 

“Roman is a good fighter, that’s why we’re here. Hopefully on Saturday night he won’t be able to take my volume of punches. I’m going to bring pressure for every moment of the fight and we’ll see if he holds up.

 

 

 

“Everyone knows that I like to come forward and make exciting fights. There will be drama and I’m expecting to come out of there with my hand raised.

 

 

 

“On Saturday night I’m going to get redemption for everything that happened in my last fight and deliver a win and an exciting fight. This is a chance that I’ve worked and trained hard to get again.”

 

JAVIER FORTUNA

 

 

 

“Everyone knows what I can do here in the ring. I’m very glad to be here meeting Granados, because we’re going to give the fans a a great fight on Saturday that’s going to steal the show.

 

 

 

“I know that Granados has fought a lot of top opposition, but on Saturday night, I’m going to be a different fighter than he’s ever seen in the ring.

 

 

 

“This will be a battle. Everyone will see on fight night what the difference is between me and him. I’m a special fighter. I’m going to prove it again on Saturday.”

 

ADRIAN GRANADOS

 

 

 

“It’s been a long hard road to this fight. I know I have marks on my record, but I can easily say that I know all of them have been controversial. I’ve pushed through everything and I know that I’m truly respected as a fighter.

 

 

 

“I’m always going to bring the same fire and determination to the ring. If my opponent is brave enough to stand with me, then it’s going to be all-action. De qualquer jeito, I’m coming to break him down and get the victory.

 

 

 

‘Recently I’ve gone against a lot of opposition that is naturally bigger than me, but I’ve never backed down or been afraid of any of them. This fight is going to prove that I belong in the upper echelon of boxing.

 

 

 

“I’ve checked out Fortuna’s fights and he’s a scrapper. He likes to bang too in the ring just like I do. It’s all the recipes for a can’t miss fight.”

 

Derrick James, Formador de Spence

 

 

 

“I’m very happy to see everybody out here and we’re so glad that the fans are getting involved. This city means everything to me and Errol, so to bring a great night like this and have this huge reception from the fans, is a little bit of extra motivation.

 

 

 

“I think we’re going to see a great fight. Ocampo is very tough opposition and Errol has trained very hard. We’re going to see the best Errol Spence on Saturday night and I’m sure we’ll see the best Carlos Ocampo, which should make for a fun night for the fans.”

 

BRITTANY GOOSSEN BROWN, Vice President of TGB Promotions

 

 

 

“We are so excited for Saturday night and to be bringing the first boxing event inside Ford Center at The Star. Dallas is a great fight town and who better to headline the first title fight here in 50 years than hometown favorite Errol Spence Jr.? He is sure to put on a great performance for his hometown fans.

 

 

 

“It has truly been a pleasure to work with the entire Dallas Cowboys organization throughout this promotion and we hope this is just the start of bringing sellout crowds here to the heart of Texas. We can’t wait to see you all there on Saturday night.”

 

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, President Sports & Programação de eventos, Showtime Network Inc.

 

 

 

“SHOWTIME is thrilled to be here at The Star for the first boxing event inside of Ford Center. Week after week and month after month, we’ve delivered the best fighters in the most meaningful fights to boxing fans. Saturday is the 11th SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING this year. These events have featured more than 15 lutas pelo título mundial, just in the first six months of the year. We’re doing more boxing and more high quality boxing than any other network by far.

 

 

 

“Saturday is no exception, especially in terms of quality. Errol Spence Jr. is a consensus top five pound-for-pound fighter. He’s knocked out 10 straight fighters and it was 2014 when an opponent last went the distance. Errol is in many ways our Dak Prescott (Dallas Cowboys quarterback), he’s a young star, a fan favorite and we expect him to be one of the faces of the sport for years to come.

 

 

 

“If you know of the tradition of Mexican fighters in this sport, then you know that Carlos Ocampo cannot be overlooked. He’s coming to win and that makes him very dangerous and should create an exciting fight.

 

 

 

“Both of the opening bouts leading up to the main event on SHOWTIME are significant bouts with fighters that bring all action styles to the ring.”

FRISCO, TEXAS (Junho 4, 2018) – campeão mundial super galo Daniel Roman irá defender seu cinturão contra o invicto Moises “Chucky” Flores Sábado, Junho 16 viver no canal Showtime da Ford Center at The Star em Frisco, Texas em um evento apresentado pela Premier Boxe Campeões.

 

 

 

O evento também vai ver o ex-campeão do mundo Javier Fortuna chocando-se com Adrian Granados em um 10-redonda de 140 libras especial atração que começa o Showtime Championship Boxing® transmissão em 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.

 

 

 

Invicto campeão dos médios Errol “A Verdade” Spence, Jr. irá defender seu título mundial IBF em um regresso a casa-área de Dallas na instalação Dallas Cowboys contra o invicto desafiante obrigatório Carlos Ocampo no evento principal. Será o primeiro evento de boxe dentro do Ford Center e Spence primeira luta cidade natal como campeão do mundo.

 

 

 

Os ingressos para o evento, que é promovido pela Promoções TGB em associação com promoções Man Down, já estão à venda e podem ser comprados em www.SeatGeek.com.

 

 

 

“Este prepara-se para ser um cartão fantástico com a adição da luta pelo campeonato £ 122 entre Daniel Roman e Moises Flores e ex-campeão Javier Fortuna tomada em Adrian Granados em uma atração especial de 140 libras,” disse Tom Brown, Presidente da TGB Promoções. “Nenhum destes pugilistas têm reverter em sua caixa de engrenagens, que promete entreter batalhas para os fãs do The Star e aqueles que estão assistindo em casa no canal Showtime.”

 

 

 

A 27-year-old Roman (24-2-1, 9 KOs) estará fazendo sua segunda defesa do título da WBA £ 122-campeonato que ele ganhou com uma vitória por TKO sobre Shun Kubo setembro do ano passado no Japão. A 28-year-old, de Los Angeles, Calif., retornou ao Japão e fez sua primeira defesa do título com uma vitória por decisão unânime sobre Ryo Matsumoto em fevereiro deste ano. Roman entra nesta luta tendo vencido 16 lutas em linha reta.

 

 

 

“Todo mundo sabe que eu quero lutar com os melhores e Flores é lá em cima,” disse Roman. “Ele está invicto por uma razão e que ele é o número um challenger para o meu título. Eu não vou levá-lo de ânimo leve. Estou motivado para ser grande. Estou mais focado agora do que nunca. Eu não vou deixar Flores, ou qualquer outra pessoa tomar meu cinturão. O plano é simples. Pegá-lo para além rodada a rodada, assim como eu fiz em minhas outras lutas pelo título mundial.”

 

 

 

Flores (25-0, 17 KOs), de Guadalajara, Jalisco, México, retorna aos ringues depois de um concurso não contra Guillermo Rigondeaux em uma luta que viu Flores bateu e bateu para fora com um tiro que foi inicialmente chamado jurídica, mas acabou por ser governado para ter vindo após o sino, fazendo assim com que a competição não. O jogador de 31 anos marcou uma vitória impressionante, com uma vitória por decisão sobre Oscar Escandon em 2015 que lhe rendeu um título £ 122-interino e seguiu-se com vitórias sobre lutadores anteriormente uma vez batido Luis Emanuel Cusolito e Paulus Ambunda.

 

 

 

“Eu vou fazer Daniel Roman lutar me a cada rodada até o final,” disse Flores. “Ele é um bom boxeador e um perfurador balcão, mas eu sou um guerreiro, então eu vou estar pronto para qualquer coisa que ele traz. Se ele não pode realizar-se a meu poder, em seguida, ele vai para baixo cedo. Este é um must-win e eu estou determinado a se tornar um campeão do mundo em 16 de junho.”

 

 

 

Fortuna (33-2-1, 23 KOs) ganhou o título de super pluma com uma decisão unânime contra Bryan Vasquez em 2015 e entra nesta luta olhando para se recuperar de uma perda decisão dividida para campeão dos leves Robert Páscoa, Jr. em janeiro no canal Showtime. A 28-year-old Fortuna, de La Romana, República Dominicana, não conseguiu fazer peso para a luta de Páscoa e agora vai buscar desafio na divisão de 140 libras.

 

 

 

“Eu sei que Adrian Granados é um guerreiro, mas isto quebra de luta em meu favor, porque eu sou simplesmente o melhor lutador,” disse Fortuna. “Eu respeito Granados’ estilo e eu sei que ele surpreende muita gente com sua resiliência no ringue. Estou totalmente preparado para fora-caixa-lo na noite da luta. Eu não estou preocupado com subir de peso ou porque uma vez que entrar no ringue, Eu vou ser o maior cara.”

 

 

 

A 28-year-old Granados (18-6-2, 12 KOs) acumulou uma reputação como um boxeador dispostos a aceitar todos os desafios e aquele que sempre empurrado seus adversários para a beira. Lutando fora de Chicago, ele olha para voltar a vencer com uma vitória sobre Fortuna. No ano passado, Granados perdeu uma decisão unânime para o ex-campeão dos médios Shawn Porter e uma decisão dividida para o campeão quatro divisão Adrien Broner. Antes dessas duas derrotas, Granados tinha reunido um cinco-jogo sequência de vitórias que incluiu uma vitória por TKO sobre Amir Imam.

 

 

 

“Javier Fortuna é um canhoto habilidoso, mas eu vou ser mais forte e melhor do que nunca para trás em 140 libras,” Disse Granados. “Eu sinto que posso nocautear qualquer um com esse peso. Depois que eu vencer Amir Imam, todos foi me esquivando-se a esta classe de peso. Vou fazer uma declaração sobre onde eu pertenço no boxe e dar aos fãs um grande show como sempre faço.”

DALLAS (Maio 30, 2018) – Invicto campeão mundial meio-médio Errol Spence Jr. hosted a media workout at his gym in Dallas Tuesday as he prepares for his homecoming title defense at Dallas Cowboys Headquarters against undefeated challenger Carlos Ocampo Sábado, Junho 16 viver no canal Showtime da Ford Center at The Star em Frisco, Texas em um evento apresentado pela Premier Boxe Campeões.

 

 

 

The IBF titleholder spoked to media at the R&R Boxing Club along with trainer Derrick James, as the two prepare for Spence’s second title defense after winning the title from then unbeaten champion Kell Brook last May.

 

 

 

Os ingressos para o evento, que é promovido pela Promoções TGB em associação com promoções Man Down, já estão à venda e podem ser comprados em www.SeatGeek.com.

 

 

 

Here is what Spence and James had to say Tuesday:

 

ERROL SPENCE JR.

 

 

 

“It feels good to be fighting back at home in Dallas. This is where I started and where my core fan base is. It’s great to fight in front of my people and even better that I can do it as a world champion now.

 

 

 

“I wanted to make my first title defense in Dallas, but everything happens for a reason and now I have this great opportunity to fight at the Dallas Cowboys’ instalação. It’s an incredible venue that has everything you would want. It’s going to be a great atmosphere on June 16.

 

 

 

“We’re working hard on our game plan and sharpening our skills in camp to make sure I’m the best version of myself when I step into the ring against Ocampo.

 

 

 

“Timing is key in boxing. It’s more important than speed and it’s something I really focus on when I’m training. It’s timing and accuracy. You can be fast but if you don’t land, it doesn’t mean anything.

 

 

 

“I’m a versatile fighter who is able to switch it up. I can box from the outside but also go on the inside. These are things that we’re always working on in the gym. Our opponent may bring something different than we expected into the ring, so we work on having a plan for everything.

 

 

 

“It’s great to have another world champion like Jermell Charlo in camp with me. Iron sharpens iron and we just work hard every day so that we can push each other to the next level. All of that helps me become victorious.

 

 

 

“I wouldn’t say I have one skill that sticks out the most in my arsenal. I’m a balanced boxer who can do everything. I can jab, throw a combo and show strong defense. I balance all of the attributes you need in the ring and that’s what makes me a great boxer.

 

 

 

“I’ve been putting this division on notice for a while. Junho 16 is another day that we’re going to give another one-sided performance and dominate. I’ve had the welterweight division on notice since my first fight. They know I’m here.

 

 

 

“Whoever wins the fight between Danny Garcia and Shawn Porter for the WBC title will have to fight me. I’m ready to unify. I’m ready to take the belt from either one of those guys.”

 

Derrick James, Formador de Spence

 

 

 

“Errol is an incredibly hard worker in the gym and he always has been. We’re just making sure he’s on task and able to be peaking on June 16. I have no worries that he’s going to be distracted by fighting at home.

 

 

 

“There can definitely be a lot of distractions at home, but Errol is determined and I know he has the mentality that will allow him to put on his best performance. We’ve been preparing for anything Ocampo could possibly bring to the ring.

 

 

 

 

“I’m excited that my two daughters will be able to come to the fight. This night is all about our community and giving everyone here something to cheer about. The city has indicated that they’re really coming out to support Errol and he’s going to reward them.

 

 

 

“If we keep putting in the work like we have been, everything is going to come naturally on fight night. We’ve taken a look at what Ocampo likes to do and we’ll be ready. No final do dia, I think Errol is going to put on a great performance for this city.”

PHILADELPHIA (Maio 12, 2018) – Blue chip lightweight prospect Devin Haney rose to the occasion in what was the toughest test of his career, defeating veteran Mason Menard via ninth-round TKO in the main event of ShoBox: A Nova Geração Sexta-feira on SHOWTIME from 2300 Arena em Filadélfia.

Haney (20-0, 13 KOs) entered the fight as a highly regarded prospect who had never been tested. He faced his first test na sexta-feira in what was a scheduled 10-round bout against ShoBox veteran Menard (33-3, 24 KOs).

Haney took control of the fight from the opening bell and never relinquished it. The 19-year-old picked off Menard with a dominating jab from the outside and used lateral movement to avoid getting hit. Menard was unable to land any meaningful punches and he looked sluggish compared to Haney’s consistent movement and athleticism.

After nine rounds of domination, Menard’s corner had seen enough and stopped the fight following the round. Haney passed the toughest test of his career with flying colors, never once letting Menard take control of the fight.

“The plan was to go in there and work off the jab,” Haney said. “If the knockout came, I would take it but I just went in there, put on a boxing clinic and showed the world that I could go the full 10 rounds.

“I feel like I put on a performance. I was relaxed and did my job. I’m definitely the next superstar. There’s only bigger and better things from here on out. I work very hard. I went in and put on a good performance against a guy that people said could knock me out or hurt me.”

Following the fight, a defeated Menard was respectful of Haney’s performance.

“He never hurt me. He was catching me with the best shots he could and never hurt me. But the kid can definitely fight,” Menard admitted.

Na co-metragem 10 rodada, super bantamweight prospect Joshua “Don’t Blink” Greer (17-1-1, 9 KOs) scored his third ShoBox knockout against Baltimore native Glenn Dezurn (9-1-2, 6 KOs).

The fight was explosive from the outset, with both fighters pushing the pace. Greer took advantage of Dezurn’s high guard to work the body, while Dezurn pushed forward to engage Greer on the inside. Greer began to dominate in the third round, when a big right hand hurt Dezurn with two minutes remaining.

“I knew he would come hard so I put I the work in the gym to make sure I was ready,” said Greer. “I’m just happy everything paid off.”

Greer hurt Dezurn again in the fifth round with a straight left, and eventually tied him up against the ropes with a succession of blows that almost had Dezurn’s trainer Barry Hunter stopping the fight. After the round, Hunter warned Dezurn that he would stop the fight if Dezurn didn’t fight back.

Despite almost going down in the fifth, Dezurn survived for three more rounds. The injured and exhausted Dezurn wasn’t able to put anything behind his punches and hit the canvas in the eighth round for the first time in his career before referee Benjy Esteves stopped the fight with 1:47 remaining.

“I got caught with a few good shots, but I recovered quickly and I was still in the fight,” Dezurn said. “I have a lot of heart, which is a gift and a curse for me.”

A confident Greer was pleased with his performance after the fight.

“I wasn’t surprised I could knock him out,” Greer said. “I knew I could break his will.”

In an eight-round featured attraction, light heavyweight prospect Charles Foster (16-0, 8 KOs) remained undefeated with a unanimous decision win against Alvin Varmall Jr. (15-0-2, 12 KOs), marcou 77-75, 78-74, 79-73.

Foster dominated the fight from the outset, controlling the scrappy Varmall, quem se tornou o 174th fighter to suffer his first loss on ShoBox. Varmall made a valiant attempt to get inside in the early rounds, but a more disciplined Foster held him at bay, with Vermall stumbling and getting tied up inside.

“My experience was the difference,” Foster said. “He was loading up on one punches and I was sticking to my game plan – sticking behind the jab, working the body.”

Foster peppered Varmall with his lead left hand, tagging his opponent enough to break him down and eventually tire him out. Varmall landed a couple of statement shots but wasn’t able to hurt Foster and by the later rounds, his punches lacked power.

“When he would come on the inside he couldn’t hurt me,” Foster said. “I was the one controlling the entire fight.”

In the opening bout of the four-fight telecast, super bantamweight Arnold Khegai kept his unblemished record intact with a unanimous decision over veteran Adam Lopez, marcou 77-74, 77-74, 78-73.

Fazendo sua U.S. estréia, the controlled Khegai (12-0-1, 8 KOs) pressed the action from the start. Khegai worked the jab and stayed mobile, capitalizing on a wobbly Lopez (16-2-3, 8 KOs) with a perfectly timed counter punch with 30 seconds remaining in the second round. Khegai stayed busy in the early rounds with consistent counter punches, but earned a point deduction for a hit to the back of Lopez’s head with seconds remaining in the sixth round.

“That was my first fight in the U.S. and I wanted to show something special,” Khegai said. “Everyone was waiting for the knockout, but I wanted to show my boxing skills. I could have gone for the KO in the middle of the fight, but I wanted to prove that I could box.”

Despite a slight dip in productivity in the later rounds, the Ukrainian stayed efficient, aterrissagem 31 fotos do corpo em comparação com apenas 15 from Lopez.

Lopez, caught off guard by Khegai’s fighting style, was disappointed by his performance in his record-setting seventh ShoBox aparência.

“I was expecting him to be a dirty fighter, but it kind of threw me off my game. The referee kept telling me ‘don’t retaliate, don’t retaliate.’

"I couldn’t really land my hard shots. I landed a couple,” Lopez said. “I stunned him in the fourth or fifth with a right uppercut. He got rocked a little bit, but he’s a good fighter. He got out of it.”

O evento foi promovido pela Greg Cohen Promotions em associação com Devin Haney Promotions e Hard Hitting Promotions.

‘MIKE TYSONESQUE’ LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT ALVIN VARMALL JR LOOKING TO IMPRESS AGAINST CHARLES FOSTER ON SHOBOX: A NOVA GERAÇÃO SEXTA-FEIRA, MAIO 11

Deixe um comentário

A short, but murderous puncher, fighting behind a squat, peekaboo style, light heavyweight Alvin “Iron Majik” Varmall Jr. enjoys the comparisons people make between himself and former heavyweight champion “Iron” Mike Tyson.

 

 

 

“I always appreciate the comparison,” said Varmall, “I added ‘Iron’ to my old nickname ‘Majik’ because Mike Tyson is one of my favorite fighters and, by the grace of God, I ended up training at Cus D’Amato’s KO Boxing Gym in Catskill, Nova Iorque, the same gym that Tyson did, and learning his style in its purest form.”

 

 

 

Currently the only pro fighter training out of the famed gym, Varmall (15-0-1, 12 KOs), originally from New Orleans, Louisiana, will take on New Haven, Connecticut’s Charles Foster (15-0, 8 KOs) nesta sexta-feira, Maio 11 in an eight-round featured attraction of a ShoBox: A Nova Geração quadrupleheader, viver no canal Showtime em 10 p.m. ET/PT from 2300 Arena em Filadélfia.

 

 

 

In the 10-round main event Louisiana’s Mason Menard (33-2, 24 KOs) takes on undefeated Devin “The Dream” Haney (18-0, 12 KOs) of Las Vegas for the USBA Lightweight Championship. Na co-metragem 10 rodada, super bantamweight prospects Josh “Don’t Blink” Greer (16-1-1, 8 KOs) and Glenn Dezurn (9-1-1, 6 KOs) will meet and in the opening televised fight, super bantamweight Arnold Khegai (11-0-1, 8 KOs) will face Adam Lopez (16-2-2, 8 KOs) em um ataque de oito rodada.

 

Os ingressos para o evento, which is promoted by Greg Cohen Promotions, Hard Hitting Promotions & Devin Haney Promotions, custam $125 para VIP, $70 para ringue e $50 for general admission and are available at the 2300 Arena Box office or online at www.HardHittingPromotions.com.

 

 

 

The 26-year-old Varmall says he’s been emulating the all-time-great Tyson from his earliest days in boxing.

 

 

 

“The Cus D’Amato style, I guess you could say, is my foundation. From the beginning of my career as an amateur, my first trainer, Rodney Jenkins, he started me out with the peekaboo style and it works the best for me. I ended up having 21 fights with 19 KOs and won the USA Nationals at heavyweight.”

 

 

 

Varmall says he’s in perfect shape and ready to begin carving out his own prize fighting legacy.

 

 

 

“I’m absolutely ready for this opportunity. I’ve waited a long time for it and it’s finally here. I trained the hardest I’ve ever trained and did a lot of things different for this camp. I’m definitely ready to showcase my talents and abilities. To say I’m not nervous, I’d be lying, but it’s about controlling that feeling. That’s what we learn at the Cus D’Amato Gym, how to control our feelings and use that as something to catapult us, instead of hindering us. After it’s all said and done, everyone can say what they want about my performance because I always come to bring my very best.”

 

 

 

Varmall says he realized early in his career that his punching power was well above average by sparring with a full-size heavyweight veteran in Louisiana.

 

 

 

“I was sparring with this guy, “Big” Fred Kassi. He’s from New Orleans. You know how big Fred is. One time, before sparring, he came to the corner and he said, ‘Majik, let me check your gloves. I just want to make sure we’re playing fair.’ After that, my trainer said, ‘see? I told you, you punch hard!"

 

 

 

No final do dia, Varmall says, he’s not out to match the great Tyson in achievement or legend. He’d rather carve out his own place.

 

 

 

“At the end of the day Mike Tyson was Mike yson and Alvin Varmall Jr. is Alvin Varmall Jr. Even though we both have the foundation of the same style, I do it in the way that is most comfortable for me. That’s what Mike did too. That’s what’s going to help me reach my full potential.”
