Khamzat Dalgiev (R) łączy się z Ivanem BuchingeremSANKT PETERSBURG, Rosja (Lipiec 18) – M-1 Sezon piórkowej mistrzem Khamzat Dalgiev (10-1-0, M-1: 7-1-0) broni swojego tytułu w sobotę przed swoim amerykańskim rywalem, Nate “Pociąg” Landwehr (10-2-0, M-1: 2-0-0), w wyzwanie M-1 95: Bitwa w górach główne wydarzenie, w tę sobotę w Inguszetii, Rosja.
Wszechstronnie utalentowany zawodnik MMA, Dalgiev wsiadł “Rage” na rozmowę w cztery oczy:
Kiedy zacząłeś grać w MMA?
KD: “Zacząłem trenować judo, gdy byłem dzieckiem i bardzo mi się to podobało. Po jednych mistrzostwach, gdzie sędziowie podjęli kilka bardzo złych decyzji, które uniemożliwiły mi zdobycie tytułu mistrza kraju, Postanowiłem iść dalej. W tym czasie nie było w pobliżu siłowni MMA, więc po prostu oglądałem filmy z walk i miałem nadzieję, że pewnego dnia zacznę walczyć. Po chwili znajomy powiedział mi o otwarciu siłowni MMA i zrozumiałem, że to moja szansa. Pamiętam, jak trzymałem się z dala od The Rage na jednym z pierwszych koncertów M-1 Global w Inguszetii, marzę o tym, by pewnego dnia samemu wejść do Szału.”
Na co musiałeś najbardziej pracować, aby zostać wojownikiem, którym jesteś dzisiaj?
KD: “Na początku mojej kariery, dla mnie najtrudniejsze było uderzenie, ponieważ miałem tylko zapasy. Ale mogę powiedzieć z całą pewnością, że zapaśnikowi znacznie łatwiej jest nauczyć się uderzania niż napastnikowi nauczyć się go. Po kilku miesiącach ciężkiego treningu, Stoczyłem pierwszą walkę.
“W moich wczesnych walkach, Wolałem używać swoich zapaśniczych umiejętności, aby pokonać przeciwników, ale w miarę jak moje uderzenia stawały się coraz lepsze, Zacząłem go używać coraz bardziej i naprawdę mi się podobało. W nadchodzącej walce chciałbym dodać do mojego rekordu czwarte zwycięstwo przez nokaut.”
Czy możesz trochę opowiedzieć o swojej jedynej porażce zawodowej, która miała miejsce podczas debiutu?
KD: “W mojej debiutanckiej walce, Walczyłem z dużo bardziej doświadczonym wojownikiem, Ali Bagov, który miał więcej niż 20 zawodowiec walczy na swoim koncie. Nie przejmowałem się jego rekordem, bo to tylko liczby i nigdy nie wybrałem swoich przeciwników. Jeśli chcesz być najlepszy, musisz walczyć z najlepszymi.
“Ta porażka w mojej debiutanckiej walce bardzo mnie zmieniła jako zawodnika. Zdobyłem doświadczenie, zaczął trenować ciężej i od tego czasu, z pomocą Boga, Wygrałem 10 walczy z rzędu. Nawet gdybym mógł to zmienić i odmówił podjęcia tej walki, Nigdy bym tego nie zrobił, bo ta walka była jedną z najważniejszych w mojej karierze.”
Jaki jest klucz do Twojego sukcesu?
KD: “Jeśli chcesz odnieść sukces, musisz ciężko pracować 24/7 i nie szczędź wysiłków. Musisz wyznaczyć sobie cel i zrobić wszystko, aby go osiągnąć, pokonując wszystkie przeszkody na swojej drodze.
Czy możesz spojrzeć wstecz na swoje zdobycie tytułu i wyjaśnić, co się stało??
“W walce o tytuł z Ivanem Buchingerem, Miałem duże przekonanie, że pas tytułowy będzie mój. Byłem niezwykle zmotywowany i nie czułem jego ciosów. Mógł oddać jeden dobry strzał w moją głowę, który spowodował błyskawiczne powalenie, ale mnie to nie wstrząsnęło. Nie straciłem koncentracji i kontrolowałem walkę. Słuchałem swojego kąta iz ich pomocą znokautowałem mistrza.
“Za to zwycięstwo prezydent Inguszetii Junus-bek Jewkurow, dał mi hojny prezent – Toyota Camry – i kiedy wróciłem do domu tej nocy, Oddałem go mamie, bo uważam, że to dla każdego człowieka najważniejsza jest matka. Nie zawsze jestem w domu, nie mamy ojca, a mój braciszek jest za młody, by pomóc mamie, żeby mama mogła skorzystać z samochodu, żeby trochę ułatwić jej życie.
Co myślisz o swoim przeciwniku, Nate Landwehr?
KD: “Nate Landwehr jest bardzo agresywnym zawodnikiem i uwielbiam go. Cały czas naciska na swoich przeciwników, nieważne co, a nawet jeśli zjada poncz, on nie zatrzymuje się, i tak właśnie walczę. Nic mnie nie powstrzyma! Tak, Nie wątpię, że nasza walka będzie najlepszą walką wieczoru!
“Najlepsze zwycięstwo to szybkie zwycięstwo, więc chciałbym dokończyć „Pociąg’ wcześnie. Z drugiej strony,, ciężka pięciorundowa walka zapewniłaby mi znacznie więcej doświadczenia i ożywienie w karierze. Tak czy siak, Zrobię co w mojej mocy i wykorzystam każdą okazję, aby dobić przeciwnika. Moim celem jest stać się lepszym zawodnikiem i zostawić ślad w historii MMA!”

Byłem bardzo dobry w piłce nożnej i tam zakochałem się w kontakcie i mocnych uderzeniach.”
Gdzie twoje agresywne zachowanie, fizycznie i werbalnie, pochodzić z?
NL: “Zawsze byłem głośny i pewny siebie. Więcej, Uwielbiałem się popisywać i gadać bzdury, więc dostałem się w wielu, wiele walk. Nie byłem bykiem. Byłem na to za mały, ale znalazłbym się w takiej sytuacji i musiałbym wywalczyć sobie z niej wyjście.”
Kiedy twoja kariera MMA się odwróciła??
NL: “Pracowałem na pełny etat, dopóki nie przegrałem po raz drugi w karierze. Po tej stracie, Rzuciłem pracę, zaczął trenować w pełnym wymiarze godzin i od tamtej pory nie przegrał.”

NL: Podróżowałem z żoną do wielu miejsc na całym świecie. Tak, Byłem bardzo szczęśliwy, że mogłem pojechać do Rosji i dostać za to pieniądze. Rosja jest bardzo piękna, a architektura tam oszałamiająca. Nie mogę się doczekać, aby w przyszłości odkrywać i doświadczać więcej jej ziemi i kultury. Polecam jechać, jeśli nigdy tam nie byłeś!”
Gdy zbliża się twoja walka o tytuł, co sądzisz o tym ujęciu tytułowym?
NL: “Nie mogę się doczekać, aż zrobię to tytułowo i nie mogę się doczekać. Przypomina mi film ROCKY IV. Fani otrzymają program, którego nigdy nie zapomną. Wielu rosyjskich fanów mnie kocha i piszą do mnie osobiście na portalach społecznościowych, Stawiam na najlepsze walki, jakie widzieli i dziękuję mi za to. Moim głównym zadaniem jest pozyskiwanie wierzących!”
Jak zostaliście potraktowani przez rosyjskich fanów?
NL: “Po ostatnich dwóch walkach, Miałem największą kolejkę fanów do robienia zdjęć i podpisywania autografów. To, co mnie wyróżnia, to moja pasja i serce. Możesz nie pamiętać całej walki, ale będziesz pamiętać uczucie, które miałeś, kiedy zobaczyłeś program Nate the Train!”
Czego oczekujesz od mistrza, Khamzat Dalgiev?
DL: “Oczekuję silnie zmotywowanego człowieka, gotowego zrobić wszystko, aby zachować ten tytuł, walcząc przed swoimi fanami iw swoim kraju, ale to nie wystarczy, aby mnie pokonać. Na tym jest napisana Walka Roku, a następnie Knockout of the Night for me. Jestem gotów przejść przez piekło, aby zostać mistrzem świata i nic nie może mnie teraz powstrzymać. Jestem mężczyzną z misją, która rozpoczęła się od chłopca i jego marzeń.”

Rivalta Inks Puerto Rican Amateur Standout Luis Melendez to Managerial Contract
|
Fort Lauderdale, Florida-based boxing manager Henry Rivalta proudly announces the signing of 19-year-old featherweight prospect Luis “El Chucho” Melendez to a promotional contract.
A stand-out amateur in Florida and his native Puerto Rico, Melendez will be making his professional debut under the guidance of Rivalta in July.
Born and raised in Bayamon, Portoryko, Melendez started boxing at age 11. He went on to have 124 amatorskie walki, winning a number of Puerto Rican and international titles including the Junior Olympics, Olympic Cup, and the Puerto Rican Nationals from 101 kg. do 132 kg.
Melendez says the managerial deal is the culmination of a long association the pair have held. “When I was about 15, I went to spar at the Mike Tyson Gym in West Palm Beach and I was sparring a pro and Henry saw me. He told me he likes what he sees and since then he’s had his eye on me. Now that I’m reaching my dream of going pro, Henry is the right person to help guide my career.”
A throwback fighter with a style more suited for the professional ranks, Melendez calls his style ‘smart aggressive.’
I have a very pro style. I sit down on my punches. I like to throw combinations a lot. I like to break my opponents down. I like to go to the body. Or, depending on the opponent, I can box you. I can also hit and not get hit when I need to.”
Melendez says training at KO Fitness in Hialeah, Floryda, with trainer Michael Robles is going well and he’s excited to get started on his professional career. "Czuję się świetnie. This is my dream. I have always loved the pros. I used to watch and say ‘man I will be there one day.’ I’ve always had that style. I want to win titles in six divisions. I want to be the best pound for pound. I want to be the next face of Puerto Rico.”
“Luis has all the talent to become a world champion,” said Henry Rivalta. “He’s been a stand-out since he was a kid and he’s developed into a very good fighter. I’m happy to finally be working with him in the professionals. I look forward to a long and prosperous relationship with this next great fighter from Puerto Rico.”
LEO SANTA CRUZ OUTPOINTS ABNER MARES IN REMATCH TO RETAIN WBA FEATHERWEIGHT TITLE BY UNANIMOUS DECISION
 |
|
LOS ANGELES (Czerwiec 9, 2018) – In an electrifying war that had the STAPLES Center crowd on its feet chanting for more, Leo Santa Cruz defended his WBA Featherweight World Championship by winning a unanimous decision against four-division world champion Abner Mares in their rematch Saturday night on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING®.
In almost an exact replica stat-wise of the first fight that Santa Cruz won by majority decision in 2015, the Los Angeles-native and three-division world champion Santa Cruz won on all three of the judges’ scorecards against Mares by scores of 115-113, 116-112, i 117-111.
Dzięki wygranej, Santa Cruz (34-1-1, 19 KO) takes one more step toward a possible unification fight in the competitive 126-pound division, one of boxing’s deepest.
“To wspaniałe uczucie,” Santa Cruz said. “Abner is a great fighter. He left his heart out there. It was a tough fight but thank God we got the victory. I had to be smarter, that’s why it was not a bigger war but it was a good one.”
Similar to the first time the two Mexican-American warriors met, which resulted in more than 2,000 punches being thrown, a total of 1,992 totals punches were thrown in Saturday’s fight with Santa Cruz throwing 1,061 to Mares’ 931. Santa Cruz landed 357 stemple w porównaniu do 208 for Mares.
Matki (31-2-1, 15 KO) started fast, winning the first two rounds on SHOWTIME’s unofficial scorer Steve Farhood’s card before Santa Cruz kicked it in another gear and went to work.
“It was a ‘Fight of the Year’ like I told you,” Wspomniane Mares. “I hope you like the fight because we fought for you, Los Angeles. Wygrać lub przegrać, we did it for the fans. To była świetna walka.”
He added: “Jest jak jest. I don’t want to discuss scores. The judges decided that, and that’s it. I’ll do it again. Let’s do it again. Mares-Santa Cruz 3.”
In what SHOWTIME announcer Mauro Ranallo termed a “Featherweight Fiesta,” Santa Cruz dictated the pace from the third round on, utilizing his reach and working off the jab.
Santa Cruz suffered a cut above his left eye in the eighth round. “A cut is a cut, it wasn’t bothering me as much,” Santa Cruz said. “I didn’t let that distract me. I had cuts before. You keep on fighting.”
Matki, a former three-division world champion and a veteran of 10 world championship fights, had famed trainer Robert Garcia in his corner for this fight. “I said it before the fight: whoever wins this fight will be the number one featherweight. Santa Cruz won so he’s No. 1. I tip my hat off to him.”
When asked if he’s the No. 1 featherweight in the division, Santa Cruz replied: “Hopefully I am. I’ll leave it to the fans to decide. Chcę Gary Russell Jr. następny. I want to unify. I’m ready for everyone, whoever and whenever.”
In the co-main event of the doubleheader, Jermell Charlo (31-0, 15 KO) recorded a majority decision victory by outpointing former world champion Austin Pstrąg (31-5, 17 KO) to defend his WBC Super Welterweight World Championship. Charlo’s four-fight knockout streak ended in his third world title defense. Two judges scored it 118-108 i 115-111 in favor of Charlo, and third scored it 113-113.
“Sometimes you knock them out, sometimes you just beat them.” Said Charlo, who has now defended his 154-pound title three times. “I went to fish, I tried to get some trout but I couldn’t catch him on the hook. I know they’re used to seeing me knock boys out but at least they saw me take care of business.”
Charlo recorded two knockdowns in the bout. Trout hit the canvas for the first time in the final minute of the third round as Charlo applied heavy pressure, first connecting on a big right followed by a counter left hook that knocked Trout off balance. Just eight seconds into the ninth, Trout went to one knee on a Charlo left hook to the side of Trout’s head. It was the sixth time Trout had been down in his career. Charlo continued to exert punishment on the game but tiring Trout.
“Take those knockdowns away I won the fight,” said the southpaw Trout, 32, who also went the distance in a unanimous-decision loss against Jermell’s twin brother and interim middleweight titleholder Jermall in 2016. “I can’t make any excuses, the better man won with those knockdowns.
“Both Jermell and Jermall are really good. They are the future. But I’m not done yet. I’m not defined by my results. I’m defined by the risks I take. I’ve taken the risks and I’ve stood my ground every time against giants and killers. And I’m still here.”
More accurate than Trout connecting on his punches the entire fight, Charlo went on a relentless attack in the 10th, connecting on multiples power punches that seemed to faze Trout. Charlo continued his attack in the 11th i 12th, choosing to stay upstairs as opposed to going to the body.
“Trout will tell you who will win that fight,” Charlo said of a potential unification with IBF and WBA 154-pound titleholder Jarret Hurd. “That’s why he survived 12. If Hurd sat in front of me and took those shots he’s done.”
During the SHOWTIME BOXING CHAMPIONSHIP telecast it was announced that WBC Lightweight World Champion Mikey Garcia and IBF Lightweight World Champion Robert Easter Jr. will meet in a 135-pound unification showdown between unbeaten stars Saturday, Lipiec 28 live on SHOWTIME from STAPLES Center.
“We were fighting at 140 but I always had my mind set act coming back to lightweight,” Garcia said. “The only fight that made sense was a unification and the fighter available was Robert Easter Jr. He’s a champion and the man to beat. It’s great to be back to finally give my fans here in Southern California a fight. Now that we are I get to give them a unification match and the biggest fight of my career to date.”
“I got my fight on July 28, but there’s been a lot of talk about [Wasyl] Lomachenko and me over the past year. If I get through Robert Easter I’d be unified champ and the only other fight that makes sense is Lomachenko,” on dodał.
Easter recently changed trainers and is now working with Kevin Cunningham. “Lomachenko and Mikey are two skillful guys in the lightweight division and two guys I want to fight,” Easter said. “Me and Mikey will do the talking in the ring. My height and my reach will give anyone problems as long as I use them skillfully.”
Saturday’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING doubleheader will replay on Monday at 10 p.m. ET / PT na SHOWTIME EXTREME.

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday from the Chick Hearn Press Room at STAPLES Center in Los Angeles:
Leo Santa Cruz
“The first fight was a really good one, but I think this one will be even better. Mares is a great fighter with a great trainer in Robert Garcia, and that’s the kind of challenge I want. We both want to give the fans great fights.
“I’ve learned a lot from my last few fights. I’m not coming in here worried about losing, I just worry about giving the fans a great show. If Mares is better than me that night, then he will win. But I’ve worked too hard and I’m going to be at my peak on Saturday night.
“I think that Mares has gotten a lot better. Robert Garcia is a trainer who has brought him up to a different level. He’s made a lot of improvements. I learned from the Frampton fights and my dad is a good trainer too. It’s even all the way around and it’s going to be a great fight.
“I think the winner of this fight will be number one in this division. Gary Russell Jr. is a great fighter and I definitely want a rematch of our amateur fight. But me and Abner put a lot of pressure on our opponents and I don’t think Gary would like the pressure from either of us.
“My team motivates me every day in the gym. They’re right next to me running every day towards the same goal. That’s what I love about training camp because it makes me work even harder.”
Abner Mares
“I could stand up here and tell you what I’m going to do Saturday, but you’ve seen the first fight. You know how exciting the first fight was. I have even more to prove and I’m going to leave it all on the line this time.
“This is going to be an exciting fight. I know Leo has matured as an athlete and fighter by fighting Frampton twice. But if you look at my last couple of performances, they speak for themselves. I think both of us are seasoned and better fighters right now.
“There’s no doubt that the winner of this fight is number one in this division. There’s some great fighters at featherweight, but we’re fighting for the top spot in this division.
“Our focus isn’t on looking for a stoppage. That was my mistake the first fight. I tried to destroy him. I’m going to follow instructions and show I’m the better fighter in there.
“If I win Saturday night, and the fight is just as exciting as the first one, I’m ready for a trilogy. Zróbmy to się stało.
“I’m going to fight my heart out and win this fight this time. Najlepszy człowiek może wygrać. We’re going to give the fans what they want to see. I’m calling this ‘Fight of the Year’ guaranteed.”
JERMELL Charlo
“My brother and I have been doing this a long time. Austin Trout has done it a long time as well. I’m hoping everyone gets there early, because I’m bringing excitement to the table right from the start.
“Some critics say that me and my brother haven’t fought the people required to be on the pound-for-pound list. My race to the top continues Saturday night to prove all those people wrong.
“A knockout is possible. If he wants that to be the way it goes, then I’m capable. Derrick and I have a great plan that we’re ready to use. None of our experience in the past matters, we’re both 0-0. Anything can happen on Saturday night.
“I look to do what my brother did against Trout, but way better. If that’s with a knockout or just picking him apart, Jestem gotowy. I’m fighting for a lot more than just a win on Saturday. We’re going to keep shining and do what we have to do.
“We want everyone to know that my brother and I come from the trenches. We made it this far, so we’re not stopping now. Nobody is standing in my way. I know Trout wants a belt, but this is the wrong belt to go after.
“I have to deal with Austin Trout. Jarrett Hurd is not my focus right now. I definitely want to unify titles soon and I hope he comes out ringside on Saturday night so I can look at him after this fight. Everyone knows what time it is.”
AUSTIN TROUT
“I’m very excited to be here and have another once in a lifetime opportunity. I believe this is destiny. I’m coming into the lion’s den and I’m going to come out unscathed.
“As great as my win against Miguel Cotto was, I don’t think it compares to this fight here. People complained about Cotto being old after I beat him, but with Jermell, there’s no excuse you can make up. He’s an undefeated world champion, so if I get the win, this is definitely bigger than Cotto.
“I don’t think he’s overlooking me because I bet his brother told him not to sleep on Trout. Everyone’s going to see what I’ve been saying on Saturday night.
“My training camp with Barry Hunter was fantastic. We got all the work in that I needed and Barry is someone who always pushes me to be better than I believe I’m capable of.
“I learned from my mistakes when I fought the bigger brother. I’m going to be even better on
Saturday and it’s going to be a totally different result.
“For everyone sleeping on me, you better wake up. It’s going to be an awakening on Saturday night.”
JOSE SANTA CRUZ, Ojciec Santa Cruz & Trener
“Now all there is left to do is wait for fight night. The work up to this point has been done and it has been done well. We are ready to do what needs to be done when the time comes.
“Usually at this point ahead of a fight the biggest feat is to make weight but he had no problem there. Leo was on target weight about a month ago so it’s not something we’re worried about at this point. He’s eating good and maintaining weight well and feeling really strong for this fight.
“Leo is in incredible shape and I am confident he will win on Saturday. I’m sure Abner and his team are going to bring their best and we’re bringing our best too, but on fight night there will only be two who will clash. We’re ready for war.”
ROBERT GARCIA, Matki’ Trener
“Just the fact that Abner is in my training camp and we communicate so well, it’s given me a lot of confidence. Everyone has done a great job doing their part in camp and I believe we’ve worked on all the tools we need to defeat Leo Santa Cruz.
“Leo is a great fighter but Abner knows he can win this fight. The confidence he’s gained, and how much more seasoned Abner looks since joining my camp, should translate to a strong performance Saturday.
“This has been a really smooth training camp and that’s exactly what Abner needed. We’re primed for a big victory.”
Derrick James, Charlo za Trainer
“I think that Jermell has shown a great level of maturity while also being an aggressive fighter. He’s also very positive about what he wants to do every day in camp, and in the ring on Saturday.
“Being able to spar with Errol Spence Jr. every day in camp has definitely helped Jermell. They say it all the time, but iron sharpens iron and that’s the mentality we have to help both guys improve and get to where we know they can get to.
“Austin is a crafty fighter who has a lot of experience and a lot of tools. The most important thing though is that we’re focused on getting Jermell to be the best version of himself on Saturday night.”
RICHARD SCHAEFER, Przewodniczący & CEO Ringstar Sport
“Finally the wait is over. We waited three years for this rematch. Everyone asked me when this fight was going to happen. Now there’s just two days to go.
“You know it’s a big fight when you have the fight here at the premier venue in Los Angeles, STAPLES Center. These fighters here deserve it, because they are the best fighters in the sport, regardless of division. They’re going to show everyone on Saturday night why we love boxing so much.
“Each of these fights could have been a main event in its own right. I’m glad that these fighters were okay all being together on an event that really elevates the sport of boxing.
“Jermell Charlo is a once-in-a-generation talent in this sport. He has all the skills you need, but also has that one thing that makes you a superstar. He has charisma, and you cannot learn that. Jednak, anyone who is doubting Austin Trout, is making a big mistake. I have no doubt that he’ll be more than ready for this challenge.
“I’ve been fortunate to follow these main event fighters from their first fight, all the way to now, with them being multiple time world champions and fantastic men outside of the ring. Leo and Abner live the kind of lives that make this sport proud. But on Saturday night, may the best man win.
“SHOWTIME delivers week after week of the best fighting the best. This fight is no different and will be another treat for the fans watching on SHOWTIME who have come to expect these great matchups.”
STEPHEN Espinoza, President Sport & Events Programming, Showtime Network Inc.
“These four guys up here have been on SHOWTIME a combined 41 czasy. That’s a lot and it doesn’t happen by accident. The reason it happens is because these fighters embody everything we want SHOWTIME Boxing to be about. They have some of the strongest resumes in the sport. None of these guys have ever shied away from taking a tough fight. They don’t come with excuses, they want the best and biggest fights. We’ ae proud to have all four of them on SHOWTIME.
“Right now we have a matchup between two of the biggest stars and faces of Southern California boxing. The featherweight division has seen top five fighters on SHOWTIME already this year-This is a rematch between two more of the top 5. In the first fight, they threw a combined 2,000 stemple, which I would bet will be matched again on Saturday.
“Austin Trout has been in there with the biggest and best stars in the sport of boxing. But Jermell has quite a bit of momentum. He has four consecutive stoppages, which is very impressive at the championship level. As everyone has said this is another main event quality matchup and I look forward to seeing it on Saturday night.”

With just over a week to go until fight night, Charlo conducted a media workout with Los Angeles-area press Thursday at Gloveworx boxing gym in Century City.
Here is what Charlo and his trainer, Derrick James, had to say Thursday:
JERMELL Charlo
“Jestem gotowy do pracy. I’m well-prepared. I’ve been in training camp for about 10 tydzień. When you guys saw me before, I wasn’t this built but now I’m ready and I’m excited. I can take on any man in this division.
“Obóz treningowy był świetny. We had world champion Errol Spence Jr. in camp and a bunch of undefeated fighters. I stopped a few, dropped a few, but that’s not the name of the game. It’s all about training and getting the work done to be prepared for June 9.
“Trout is a veteran fighter but I don’t believe he’s going to stand in the pocket and try to fight me. I don’t think there’s a single fighter in this weight division that would try to do that, not even [Jarrett] Hurd. If Trout does try that, the night will end fast.
“I’m definitely growing as a fighter and growing as a man. If Trout wants to bang, let’s bang. I don’t care what Barry Hunter has or what he does, it’s not going to be able to beat me and Derrick James. I don’t necessarily think Trout is as tough as me so if he can’t put up the skills and match my ability, he won’t beat me that night.
“The Lara-Hurd fight was a great fight. Hurd did what he had to do but I’m a completely different fighter from Erislandy Lara. I’m not here to waste punches. I’m not saying Lara didn’t do a great job but I do believe that his conditioning wasn’t there. I’ve focused my whole life on training. I’m single, I don’t have a family that I have to focus on like some of these other guys. It’s all boxing.
“This is a doubleheader. I’m not a co-main event or a featured star bout. I did that years ago. How many people leave after I fight? Everybody left after the [Erickson] Lubin fight. I’m going to continue to do what I do. I definitely want to headline for you guys and do it here at STAPLES Center and possibly in Brooklyn. I prefer L.A. chociaż, it’s all nice people and palm trees. They don’t have that in New York.
“I have a great team behind me that won’t allow me to get distracted by the bright lights of L.A. I don’t believe that it’s in my mind to worry about anything outside of the ring. My objective is to win Saturday night and then I can get out of the ring and have a great time with my brother.
“I’m trying to come in and change some things about boxing. I believe I can make it happen. I think every boxer should have their own media day. [Lew] Santa Cruz had his own media day. Abner [Matki] had his own media day. I had my own media day. If we can continue that task as fighters, I think it will bring a much bigger audience to boxing.
“I don’t think that whenever the WBC reaches out about a fight that they’re doing it just to play around. This sport is serious. We would love to be a part of a GGG fight. We’re tired of hearing the media say to put the Charlos in there with better competition. I’ve heard that every fight. As long as I’m winning fights and I’m entertaining the fans, that’s what I’m going to do.
“I think I could definitely fight at 168. I might just keep growing through the weight divisions. It’s easy.
“I was super excited about the video that came out today with Gizzle. It was astounding to me to see an artist come out and produce a song like that about the Charlos and it was even better with the video of the knockouts that me and my brother have.
“My fight is won in the gym. I definitely dedicate myself every time I go into a training camp and I spend thousands of dollars on my body and on my training. I sacrifice the fun of being in L.A. to train and be in the best condition possible to fight.”
Derrick James, Charlo za Trainer
“[Jermell] sparred with Errol [Spence] yesterday and he looked phenomenal. He feels great. I think he and Errol are really similar in their level of fighting. At this point he makes weight pretty easily, he’s doing well and I know he wants to unify. Tak, until that happens I see no reason for him to go up in weight. Teraz, with Austin Trout we’re facing a physical fighter and a physical threat to everybody. With him it could be an easier fight or it can be a hard fight. As we know Jermell is a phenomenal fighter who’s very skilled so I’m not thinking about they’re what doing. [Jermell] might be but I’m not.
“Austin Trout is a great guy and he’s a great boxer. Even at an older age, his skill set is so good. If you think about Floyd [Mayweather], even at an older age he was beating everyone he was fighting. Tak, the way I look at it is that he is going to come back hungrier and he’s looking at this as getting an opportunity to get a new fight.
“I always go in thinking it’s going to be a tough fight. I can’t go in there thinking of it in any other way. If I was thinking it would be easy, I’d be an idiot and I wouldn’t be here now. I have to keep pushing myself to be better and these guys will be ready for a tough fight.
“Jermell is always pushing to do more and do it better. He’s always looking to go further than training. If I tell him to do something he does it and learns from it. He’s a great student. I think he has a lot of heart and a lot of desire, and you will see that come out on June 9th.”

Leo Santa Cruz vs. Abner Mares 2 Sobota, Czerwiec 9 Live on SHOWTIME from STAPLES Center in Los Angeles in an Event Presented by Premier Boxing Champions
|
|
LOS ANGELES (Maj 30, 2018) – The first Leo Santa Cruz vs. Abner Mares clash, a candidate for “Walka Roku” w 2015, was a hard fought crosstown Los Angeles battle for supremacy in the featherweight division won by Santa Cruz via a 12-round majority decision at STAPLES Center on August 29.
This Southern California natural hometown bash produced a strong live gate to go along with a peak of 1.641 million viewers on ESPN, their strongest numbers since 1998. The fierce, bloody war left Mares unfulfilled until their long-awaited rematch could be finally realized three years later. The SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast on Saturday, Czerwiec 9 is approaching as we await the exciting, high-voltage return of Santa Cruz vs. Matki.
Historically, Los Angeles has been the hotspot for slugfests between legendary local Mexican-American fighters. Known for their big hearts in the ring, Mexican-American boxers have electrified fans with their explosiveness and courage. When you mix in the fact that Southland boxing fans are loyal to the end, you have the ingredients for the much anticipated barnburner between Los Angeles-based rivals, Santa Cruz vs. Matki.
The rematch is bound to instill and bolster Mexican national pride in the hearts of the growing Southland Latino boxing community. STAPLES Center will surely be divided equally between those rooting for either Santa Cruz or Mares. With this fight just over a week away, we look back to similar exciting bouts between popular Los Angeles fighters.
A strong bitterness carried over from many years earlier was in full force during the pre-fight build up between former sparring partners and former world champions Mando Ramos and Raul Rojas. These Harbor-area fighters openly played mind-games with each other and tossed hateful personal insults back-and-forth in order to gain a psychological edge. In this crucial crossroads fight for both, Ramos, Long Beach, was led to believe that San Pedro’s Rojas was not in shape. Ramos proceeded to take it easy and coasted during training camp. When word got out that Rojas was in top-form, it occurred to Ramos that he’d been had. Nadal, Ramos mustered enough salvo to knockout Rojas in six rounds on December 10, 1970 at the Olympic Auditorium.
Ramos helped write another chapter of boxing history in the area as the long-awaited grudge match between two popular Chicano icons, Ramos and Ruben Navarro, also pitted the neighborhoods of Harbor vs. Maravilla against each other. The two fighters, who had been mouthing off to one another for three years, finally agreed to meet in the ring to claim exclusive bragging rights for the title of “best lightweight in town.” Former world lightweight champion Ramos pulled off a close 10-round unanimous decision over top-contender Navarro, “The Maravilla Kid” of East L.A., at the Olympic Auditorium on September 30, 1971.
In one of the most anticipated dream matches in Los Angeles boxing history, “Schoolboy” Bobby Chacon, of Sylmar, knocked out Danny “Mały czerwony” Lopez, of Alhambra, in the ninth round to win the mythical “City Featherweight Championship.” Chacon was in his wheelhouse all night long, rocking Lopez repeatedly with his right hand throughout the fight. This clash of local rising stars in the featherweight division, promoted by Aileen Eaton and the Olympic Boxing Club, occurred in front of a sold-out crowd of 16,027 at the Los Angeles Sports Arena on May 24, 1974. The fight produced so much interest that another 2,671 fans watched on closed-circuit TV at the Olympic Auditorium, located on the corner of 18th & Grand in downtown Los Angeles. Steve Springer of the Los Angeles Times wrote in 1995 about the fight as a measuring stick for boxing fan passion in the area, powiedzenie “you would have to go back to Chacon-Lopez to find such excitement for a pair of Los Angeles fighters.”
It was the first time in boxing history that two college graduates fought for the world title when WBC welterweight champion Carlos Palomino, of Westminster, successfully defended his title against Armando Muniz, of Montebello, by 15th-round TKO at the Olympic Auditorium on January 21, 1977. Many local boxing writers called this knockdown, drag-out war, the “Walka Roku”, and in the rematch held May 27, 1978 w tym samym miejscu, Palomino once again stopped Muniz, this time by 15-round unanimous decision.
Santa Cruz and Mares grew up together on the same Southern California boxing scene. Both appeared on many of the same boxing cards, and Santa Cruz even picked up an IBF bantamweight belt vacated by Mares. Teraz, for these two Mexican warriors with almost identical boxing statistics, the road to greatness leads them both once more to STAPLES Center for surely another sensational ring-war.
Come fight night on June 9, 2018, the boxing world will be treated to another classic Los Angeles slugfest between two certified Mexican warriors. This bout truly promises to be the next chapter written in the long history of exciting Los Angeles crosstown battles. Nearly three years in the making, anticipation will be high and a screaming audience again on their feet, as they witness Mares’ quest for redemption in his rematch with Santa Cruz. As popular and well-liked as these two hometown heroes are in the Southland boxing community; there will be only one fighter who will walk out of STAPLES Center with his hands raised tall. Najlepszy człowiek może wygrać.
