“This show on August 12 is jam-packed with action for boxing fans as they will get an exciting world title clash in addition to some of the area’s top rising talent in tough contests live on SHOWTIME,"A dúirt Tom Brown, Uachtarán na Tionscnaimh TGB. “Emmanuel Rodriguez is hungry to make a second run as world champion at bantamweight and will be given all he can handle by the red-hot Melvin Lopez. With two of Maryland’s top rising stars in Gary Antuanne Russell and Travon Marshall stepping in for separate bouts before that showdown, this lines up to be a can’t-miss card at MGM National Harbor.”

Fighting out of Manati, Pórtó Ríce, Rodríguez(21-2, 13 Kos) defeated the previously unbeaten Gary Antonio Russell last October by technical decision to put himself back into position to fight for the world title. The 30-year-old originally won the IBF Bantamweight World Title with a unanimous decision victory over Paul Butler in 2018 and successfully defended it against the then-unbeaten Jason Moloney. Rodríguez went on to lose the title to former undisputed champion Naoya Inoue in their May 2019 title bout.

“I’m happy to have this chance to become a world champion again,” said Rodriguez. “We’re gonna go out there to win in spectacular fashion and my goal is to show that I’m the best fighter in the world at 118-pounds. My goal is to become undisputed at bantamweight, however I’m not overlooking Melvin Lopez, because he’s a good fighter and will come to give it his all on August 12.”

The 25-year-old Lopez (29-1, 19 Kos) has won eight-straight fights since suffering his only career loss in October 2019. Originally from Nicaragua and now fighting out of Miami, Lopez has fought professionally since 2015 and began competing stateside in 2018. Lopez scored three victories in 2022, starting the year with knockouts of Juan Gabriel Medina and Victor Ruiz, before most recently defeating Jobert Alvarez last December. Out of his last 10 victories, Lopez has ended nine of those inside of the distance.

“I’m very excited that the time is almost here to fight for a world title,"A dúirt Lopez. “We’ve had a great training camp and everyone has sacrificed and worked hard so that we’re at our best on August 12. I’m going to show everyone why I earned this opportunity and repay my team for all of their efforts. I have a lot of respect for Emmanuel, but the best man will have his hand raised when we share the ring.”


Fighting out of his native Capitol Heights, Md., Russell (16-0, 16 Kos) will carry on the legacy left by his late father Gary Sr. A member of one of the sport’s preeminent fighting families, Russell trains alongside his older brothers, former WBC Featherweight Champion Gary Jr. and bantamweight contender Gary Antonio. The 26-year-old has yet to allow an opponent to make it to the final bell since turning pro in 2017 following his run representing the U.S. at the Rio 2016 Cluichí Oilimpeacha an tSamhraidh. Russell defeated his most accomplished foes to date in 2022, stopping former champion Viktor Postol in February before a TKO win against former two-division champion Rances Barthelemy in July.

“When you’re a student of the game like me, you have to consider that each step we take is about more than self-gratification. We’re doing this for keeps,” arsa Russell. “Kent Cruz has to catch up to me, but there’s no need for me to look back. The only direction I’m going is forward and that means putting on a spectacular performance on August 12, and proving I’m the next world champion in this division.”

The 30-year-old Cruz (16-0-3, 10 Kos) steps back into the ring after a pair of draws against fellow unbeaten Enriko Gogokhia in February and then November 2022. A native of St. Louis, Mo., Cruz defeated veterans Erik Humberto Castillo and Travis Hartman following a draw against Carlos Mohamed Rodriguez in April 2018. Cruz will pick up his past ring history with the Russell family on August 12, looking to avenge an amateur loss to Gary Allan Russell, Gary Antuanne’s older brother.

“I’m very excited for this fight on August 12,” said Cruz. “I’ve been waiting for a fight like this my whole career, so we didn’t hesitate when offered this one. I’m coming in as the underdog and that’s what’s fueling me. I’ve been an underdog my whole life and on August 12 I’m gonna shock the world. When I win this fight, I’ll be in contention to fight for a world title and have my chance to achieve my childhood dream.”

At just 22-years-old, Marshall (8-0, 7 Kos) has quickly shown the skill, power and poise to become a highly regarded prospect in just eight fights. Born in Landover, Md., and now fighting out of Capitol Heights, Md., Marshall is trained by former contender Andrew Council and has already scored two stoppages in 2023. Most recently he dominated veteran contender Justin DeLoach via third-round knockout in March, his most impressive victory to date.

“I’m really excited to be fighting at home in front of my family, friends and fans on August 12,” said Marshall. “I’m working hard every day in the gym so that when fight night comes I’m 100% and ready to put on a great performance for everyone watching. My goal is to show everyone that I belong on the big stage, and that starts with a victory over Gabriel Maestre.”

A two-time Olympian for his home country of Venezuela, Maestre (5-0-1, 4 Kos) had an extensive amateur run that included victories over Brian Castano, Carlos Adames, Alexander Besputin, Oscar Molina and Brian Ceballo. The 36-year-old made his U.S. debut with a controversial decision victory over Mykal Fox in August 2021 before fighting fellow unbeaten Taras Shelestyuk to a draw last March. An chuid is mó le déanaí, Maestre defeated former two-division champion Devon Alexander after three rounds in April.

“I’m very ready for this fight against Travon Marshall,” said Maestre. “We are focused on the work that we need to put in so that we are victorious on August 12. I’m focused on having my hand raised and putting on a good show. We want to leave a good impression with the fans and move on to fight the big names in the welterweight division.”

CARSON, CALIF.(Bealtaine 29, 2021) -Nonito Donaire is champion arís. Ceithre bliana déag tar éis dó a chéad teideal domhanda a bhuachan, dhaingnigh an “Filipino Flash” a dhintiúir Hall of Fame le bua iontach sa cheathrú babhta KONordine Oubaalichun teideal Meáchan Bantam an Domhain WBC a ghabháil oíche Dé Sathairn i bpríomhimeacht SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING ó Pháirc Spóirt Dignity Health in Carson, Calif. in imeacht Premier Dornálaíocht Seaimpíní.

“Tá an rí ar ais,” D’imthigh Donaire ina dhiaidh. “Is breá liom na sluaite. Mo chairde go léir, teaghlaigh, go raibh míle maith ag lucht leanúna na dornálaíochta ar fad a tháinig amach. Tá sibh go hiontach.”

An Donaire 38 bliain d'aois (41-6, 27 Kos) ar an chraobh domhanda is sine riamh le 118 bpunt. Bhain sé amach é leis an lámh chlé a bhí mar chárta glaonna a ghairm bheatha nuair a thit sé Oubaali (17-1, 12 Kos) trí huaire san iomlán.

“Ní hé a bheith ag an aois seo an cheist, tá sé faoi mo fheidhmíocht,” arsa Donaire. “Faoi mo chumas fás. Creidim nach bhfuil tábhacht leis an aois atá agat, ach cé chomh láidir meabhrach atá tú. Cad a d'fhoghlaim mé ó na [Naoia] Is é an comhrac inoue ná go bhfuil mé ar ais. Is féidir liom fós dul san iomaíocht ag an leibhéal seo. An t-am ar fad ní raibh mé ag troid, Bhí mé ag foghlaim. Táim réidh don chéad cheann eile.”

Tar éis an chéad bhabhta mothaithe, Chuaigh Donaire ag obair sa dua, ag siúl Oubaali síos agus ag dul i ngleic le héifeacht thudding. Scóráil Donaire an chéad chluiche go luath sa tríú háit, ag titim Oubaali lena chuntar trádmharc ar chlé. D’eirigh an Francach ar a chosa míshuaimhneach agus phreab Donaire, tuirlingt níos mó shots móra go dtí hook eile ar chlé floored Oubaali ach soicind scoilte roimh an bhabhta dar críoch. Arís, Bhí Oubaali ag streachailt lena chosa, dazed fós sásta troid ar.

Tháinig an deireadh go tapa sa cheathrú. D'aistrigh Donaire Oubaali timpeall an fháinne go sainiúil, é a phionnáil i gcoinne na rópaí nuair a chuir gearrtha uachtarach ar chlé Oubaali ag mionú go dtí an chanbhás don tríú uair agus an uair dheireanach. Chuir an réiteoir Jack Reiss deireadh leis láithreach. Ba é an t-am oifigiúil an íoc chuige 1:52 den cheathrú babhta.

“Trí scór bliain de bheith ina laoch domhanda. Curadh domhanda naoi n-uaire. Sin iontach,” arsa Donaire. “Tháinig mé isteach anseo agus mhothaigh mé an-mhaith. Inniu bhí a fhios agam go díreach cad a bhí le tarlú. Bhí a fhios agam go díreach cad a bhí mé ag dul a dhéanamh. Sílim go raibh mé díreach tar éis díriú go mór ar an seomra aclaíochta. Bhí mé an-, an-dírithe. Mhothaigh mé an-mhaith ag teacht isteach agus bhí mé buíoch as an deis seo a fháil.

“Ba rud é anocht a bhí orm a chruthú don domhan go bhfuil mé ar ais agus go bhfuil mé níos láidre ná riamh. Fear an-dian a bhí ann. I mo thuairimse, ar deireadh thiar dom, bhí leibhéal ann dá mbeinn níos foighne? Nó ba chóir dom dul chun é? Rud a d’fhoghlaim mé sa troid Inoue ná dul don mharú. Agus sin go díreach a rinne mé. Bhí mé foighneach, ach bhí a fhios agam go raibh sé gortaithe go leor go bhféadfainn é a thógáil amach.”

Sa an comh-gné, Puerto Rico arSubriel Matias (17-1, 17 Kos) seachadadh taispeáint chumhacht-punching eile, briseadh síos roimhe seo-gan builleBatyr Zhukembayev (18-1, 14 Kos) go dtí gur stop cúinne Jukembayev an bout tar éis ocht mbabhta spleodracha.

“Sílim gurb é seo a raibh gach duine ag súil leis. Bhí a fhios ag gach éinne gur cogadh mór a bhí ann,” arsa Matias. “Tháinig deireadh leis seo trí bhualadh amach cé acu an raibh mé chun a bheith bainte amach nó an raibh Jukembayev chun a bheith bainte amach. Tá áthas orm gur mise a leag amach é.”

Bunaíonn Matias é féin mar dhuine de na cinn is fearr i rannán cruachta, ach ní raibh an bua is déanaí seo éasca. Tháinig Jukembayev de Chasacstáin amach go láidir, ag teacht i dtír teaglaim uachtair lúb ar dheis thuas staighre óna sheasamh cos theas a tharraing aird Matias sa chéad.

Bhrúigh Jukembayev an luas sa dara ceann. Thosaigh Matias ag ligean a lámha sa tríú háit, caitheamh i gcomhcheangal leis an ceann agus comhlacht. Bhí an dá chomhraiceoir téite go hiomlán anois, ag socrú an stáitse don cheathrú babhta a d’fhéadfadh a bheith ina iarrthóir ar “Bhabhta na Bliana”.


Thosaigh sé nuair a duán crua chlé tuislithe Jukembayev agus thiomáin sé go dtí an chanbhás. Rinne Matias iarracht an seó a dhúnadh ach lean Jukembayev air, glanadh a cheann agus thosaigh sé ag tuirlingt a shots féin. Le nóiméad fágtha sa rann, Stunned Jukembayev Matias le crois chlé. In ionad clinching, Throid Matias tine le tine, an slua a thabhairt amach as a suíocháin le gníomh ladhar-go-ladhar go dtí an cloigín ag canadh.

Níor stop Matias ag teacht ar aghaidh. Tar éis séú taobh amháin, D'fhill Jukembayev ar a chúinne agus an dá shúil dúnta. Tháinig an cúl is anall sa seachtú háit nuair a bhuail Jukembayev Matias le dhá chúl ar dheis ag druidim le deireadh an bhabhta..

D’fhill Matias ar shuíochán an tiománaí san ochtú babhta, ag brú ar Jukembayev leis an dá dhorn. San iomlán, chuaigh sé amach i dtír Jukembayev 100 punches (234/608 go 134 /409) agus bhí sé níos cruinne (38.5% go 32.8%). Ba leor an carnadh buille a chuir ina luí ar chúinne Jukembayev iarraidh go gcuirfí stop leis an mbout.

“Bhí a fhios aige nach raibh aon rud le cailleadh aige. Tháinig sé isteach agus bhí sé ag déanamh gach rud go láidir,” arsa Matias. “Bhí a fhios aige nach bhféadfadh sé a dhéanamh ach mé a bhualadh chun an bua a fháil. Ba mhaith liom a bheith déanta ar an rud céanna. Sin croí laochra agus tá mo mheas ar fad aige.

“Tar éis an ceathrú babhta sin, Ciallaíonn mé gur trodaire an-iomaíoch é, mar sin d'iompaigh sé ina chogadh tar éis an phointe sin. Téann mo lámha suas chuige freisin. Bhí sé ag troid iontach. Is cinnte go raibh comhraic eile agam a bhí an-mhaith, ach seo é an ceann a thug an tástáil is deacra dom.”

Sa oscailteoir teileachraolta, Gary Antuanne Russell (14-0, 14 Kos) lean sé ar aghaidh ag ardú na céimeanna super lightweight. Bhí an Russell undefeated an chéad stop a chur leis an garbhSeán Santiago (14-2-1, 10 Kos), ceannasaíocht ar Santiago go dtí gur stop an réiteoir Sharon Sands an comórtas tar éis an séú babhta ar mholadh cúinne Santiago.

“Is é an cuspóir an fear a thabhairt amach chomh luath agus is féidir agus teacht amach gan mhá gáinne,” arsa Russell. “Ba mhaith liom a rá go raibh Santiago ina chéile comhraic rang A. Ceapann go leor daoine gur bhuaigh sé Adrien Broner. Ba mhaith liom Adrien Broner anois."

Le deartháir níos sine agus Curadh Domhanda Cleite WBC Gary Russell Jr. ag obair a chúinne, Rialaigh Gary Antuanne an beart ón gcloch tosaigh. An 2016 D'oibrigh an Oilimpeach an jab agus d'fhág sé díreach taobh thiar den chos dheas, ag sciobadh cloigeann Santiago ar ais arís agus arís eile sa chéad cheann.

Russell, 24, ar aghaidh ag teacht i dtír ar an taobh clé sa dara agus sa tríú. Go luath sa cheathrú, lean sé suas díreach ar chlé go dtí an easnacha le hook gearr ar dheis thuas staighre a thit Santiago ar a ghlúin. D’ardaigh Santiago de chuid Pórtó Ríce go hiontach ar a chosa agus tháinig slán as an ionsaí leantach chun é a bhaint amach.

“Is é an tábhacht domsa é a rith bhabhta ar bhabhta, agus bhabhta-ar-bhabhta, Bhí mé ag forghníomhú níos mó agus níos mó. Dubhairt m'athair liom dul go dtí an corp, duán ceart thuas staighre. Bhí sé oscailte dó sin,” arsa Russell.

Níor léirigh Russell aon chomharthaí de mhoilliú in ainneoin gur síneadh é níos faide ná ceithre bhabhta don chéad uair ina ghairm bheatha. Airde na Príomhchathrach, Md. táirge buailte Santiago sa séú háit, tuirlingthe comhcheangail phionósú ar fud an fhráma. Chuimhneacháin ina dhiaidh sin, cuireadh stop leis an bout.

“Is cinnte go bhfuil sé tábhachtach dom a bheith ag seinm mar sin ní hamháin go bhfuil aithne orm mar dheartháir óg Gary Russell,” arsa Russell, a dtír 146 de 444 punches (32.9%). “Is as cúlra sármhaith trodaithe mé. Táimid ag tógáil dynasty.

“Cé chomh luath agus is mian liom dul ar ais sa bhfáinne? Dá bhféadfainn troid ar chárta Deontay Wilder, bheadh ​​sé sin go hiontach.”

Seo an méid a bhí an trodaithe a rá Déardaoin:

OUBAALI NORDINE

“Tá, tá sparred againn ach oiliúint is oiliúint. Nuair a théann tú isteach i troid, nach bhfuil sé mar an gcéanna. Bíonn gach troid difriúil agus tá a fhios agam Dé Sathairn beidh mé ag cur seó iontach ar siúl le Nonito Donaire mar tá a fhios agam gur dornálaí maith é ach tá a fhios agam gurb mise an duine is fearr. Rinne mé oiliúint chomh dian chuige seo agus anois táim réidh le troid. Ba mhaith liom a thaispeáint do chách go bhfuil an dá bantamweights is fearr sa dornálaíocht inniu ag troid Dé Sathairn.

“Tá, bhí gairm bheatha den scoth aige agus tá cumhacht aige ach creidim go bhfuil níos mó cumhachta agam ná é. Tá a fhios agam go bhfuil an chumhacht agam. Is dornálaí maith é ach is mise curadh an domhain agus ar an Satharn taispeánfaidh mé don domhan cé hé is fearr. Tá a fhios agam go bhfuil mé an chuid is fearr. Tá meas agam ar Nonito. Bhí slí bheatha mhaith aige ach is mise an duine is fearr sa rannóg.

“Is é an difríocht a bheidh sa troid ná go mbeidh mé ag iarraidh níos mó a bhuachan. Ba mhaith liom leanúint ar aghaidh ag déanamh staire agus fanacht mar chraobh an domhain sa rannán seo. Tá a fhios agam gurb é mo chuid ama é. Ba mhaith liom é seo níos mó ná mar a dhéanann sé.

“Má tá an bua agam, cén fáth nach mbeadh an chéad troid eile agam ar son an aontú? Ba mhaith liom stair a dhéanamh gach uair agus is é seo mo spreagadh. Táim anseo mar is breá liom dornálaíocht agus ba mhaith liom aghaidh a thabhairt ar na dornálaithe is fearr gach uair. Tá mé ag tabhairt aghaidh ar Nonito Donaire agus tá sé sin iontach do mo ghairm bheatha. Is maith liom troid agus seo mo shaol.”

NONITO DONAIRE

“Bheadh ​​sé iontach an teideal a bhuachan ag 38 bliana d’aois agus a bheith ar an chraobh is sine ag 118 punt, ach leanfaimis é. Déanaimis é 40. Déanaimis é 42. Níl aon stad orm. Meabhrach, Táim an-bhuíoch ach ag an am céanna táim an-réidh.

“Bím sláintiúil i gcónaí agus is é an fáth a dtig liom dul san iomaíocht le haon duine ná mar go gcoimeádaim mé féin sláintiúil agus go n-oibrím go crua. Níl aon rud níos lú ná 100 faoin gcéad gach uair a bhím sa seomra aclaíochta sin.

“Tá mé thar a bheith deacair mar sin ní dhéanaim an rud a deir daoine liom a dhéanamh i gcónaí. Is féidir le daoine a rá gurb é a gcuid ama é. Ach tá mo chuid ama agam freisin agus beidh mé i gcónaí mar an duine a ghéilleann a gcuid ama nó a dhéanfaidh an cinneadh sin. Tá sé fós mo chuid ama.

“Is troid iontach a bheidh ann. Is é Oubaali an curadh ar chúis. Tá sé tríd ó thaobh na n-amaitéarach de agus é á dhéanamh anseo. Mar sin nílimid ag tabhairt faoi mheas ar bith de sin. Ach is iomaí uair a throid mé san ionad seo agus déanaim troideanna draíochta i gcónaí ar an gcéad dul síos. Beidh sé draíochtúil liom i gcónaí. Is aonbheannaigh mé.

“Is é an difríocht a bheidh sa troid seo ná mo ocras. Tá sé níos óige ná mise ach tá an t-ocras orm. Tá cuspóir againn beirt agus sin an rud a dhéanfaidh troid iontach.

“Ba mhaith liom troid leis an duine is fearr amuigh ansin. Ba mhaith liom an rematch le Naoya Inoue agus ba mhaith liom a fháil ar na criosanna. Is é an t-aon rud nach bhfuil bainte amach agam sa dornálaíocht ná a bheith ina laoch gan amhras. Tá gach rud eile déanta agam. Trodaire na Bliana. Knockout na Bliana. Craobhchomórtais iolracha. Curadh ceithre rannán. Ainmníonn tú é. Sin é mo phríomhsprioc. Faigh an crios agus cuir iad go léir le chéile.

“Is é meáchan bantam an fíormheáchan atá agam. Throid mé i gcónaí sa rannán níos troime mar gheall ar an spleodar, an dúshlán agus an tairiscint brabúsaí nó na hainmneacha ag an am sin. Anois, Táim anseo san áit a bhfuilim i mo bhall agus seo an áit a bhfuilim an-láidir.

“Ní bheidh an aslonnú ina fhachtóir ar chor ar bith. Chabhraigh an t-am saor liom. Just a bheith as an fáinne chabhraigh mo chorp a ghnóthú. Agus tá an fonn agus an t-ocras ann níos mó ná riamh. Beannacht a bhí ann dom.”

SUBRIEL MATHIAS

“Beidh mé an triail is deacra aige gan cheist agus tiocfaidh sé oíche Dé Sathairn, gheobhaidh gach duine amach cén fáth a bhfuil mé ag rá sin.

“Creidim é nuair a deir sé go bhfuil na huirlisí aige chun stop a chur leis Dé Sathairn. Ach ní ceist é a rá, oíche Dé Sathairn caithfidh sé é a chruthú. Má tá sé chun teacht amach as do bhéal, ansin caithfidh tú é a chruthú.

“Is ealaíontóirí knockout muid araon agus leis an méid a bhfuil muid ag féachaint ar, níor cheart go gcríochnódh an troid seo le cinneadh.

“Níl mórán le rá agam faoin gcomhrac sin i gcoinne Petros Ananyan. Iad siúd a chonaic mé caillte, chaill mé. Níl aon rud is féidir liom a rá faoi. Ach tuigeann na daoine a bhfuil aithne acu ar an dornálaíocht go bhfuil mé ag dul chun cinn agus ag feabhsú agus feicfidh sibh go léir é Dé Sathairn.”

BATYR JUKEMBAYEV

“Bhí campa traenála iontach agam. Táim réidh don oíche Dé Sathairn. Tá a fhios agam gur trodaire maith é ach geallaim go mbeidh mé réidh.

“Feicfidh muid oíche Shathairn an dtiocfaidh deireadh leis le buaicphointe. Taispeánfaidh mé duit cad as a bhfuil mé déanta agus feicfidh tú go léir.”

GARY ANTUANNE RUSSELL

“Tá mé sa ghnó gortaithe. Is sladmhargadh é. Más mian leis teacht isteach ann agus sluga liom, Mothóidh sé mo chumhacht. Feicfidh sé cé chomh cliste is atá mé. Ní hamháin go meabhrach, ach go fisiciúil le mo lámha. Mar a dúirt mé, Tá mé sa ghnó gortaithe. Tagann mé a ghortú.

“Gabh mo leithscéal as mo easpa Spáinnise, ach is é an rud atá tú ag dul a fheiceáil, ‘la violencia.’ Tá sé chun a bhrú a chur air. Tá sé chun punches a thabhairt isteach agus creidim gurb é sin go léir is féidir leis a thabhairt. Má tá sé ag traenáil agus ag iarraidh é féin a shlánú do mo stíl troda, go breá. Níl tú ceaptha teacht isteach anseo aontoiseach. Scairteann diamaint ó gach taobh.

“Is é an t-aon rud is féidir liom a rá ná go bhfuil an t-ionad seo chun fuil a chur chun cinn, allas agus deora agus fonn daoine a bheith iontach. Is cinnte go bhfuil mé ar cheann acu. Bhí mé sa seomra aclaíochta ag tabhairt mo chuid fola, mo chuid allais is mo dheora agus mé ag tabhairt sin go léir go dtí an t-ionad seo oíche Shathairn.

“Is cinnte gur mhaith liom fanacht níos gníomhaí. Sin é mo phlean i gcónaí. Chuir an phaindéim moill ar rudaí. Insíonn lucht leanúna dom i gcónaí go bhfuil siad ag iarraidh mé a fheiceáil ag dul ar ais ann… ní deirim leo ach, mise freisin. Ní hiad na trodaithe a tharraingíonn na teaghráin go léir. Ar cheart dom a bheith níos gníomhaí? Ar ndóigh. Ba mhaith liom a bheith níos gníomhaí.

“Ba mhaith liom a thaispeáint gur mise uachtar an bhairr. Is sárréalta mé. Níl an solas ag lonrú orm mar tá go leor rudaí eile ar siúl. Go dtí sin, beidh ort fanacht agus a fheiceáil. Tar Dé Sathairn, seó iontach a bheidh ann. Beidh roinnt spréacha agus tinte ealaíne ann. Tá comhraic agam nach bhfuil sásta leagan síos. Mura bhfuil sé sásta, Caithfidh mé a chur ina luí."

JOVANIE SANTIAGO

“Tá a fhios agam gur trodaire maith é. Oilimpeach. Tá sé óg agus beidh sé ag troid. Tá mé chun teacht chun troid freisin, mar sin má chríochnaíonn an troid go luath, ansin críochnaíonn sé go luath.

“Níl le déanamh agam ach obair bhabhta ar bhabhta, punches a chaitheamh agus babhta amháin a bhuachan ag an am. Tar éis dom Russell a bhualadh, beidh gach duine ar mo thaobh.

“Is é seo mo mheáchan. Seo an áit is compordaí dom. Bhí mé i gcónaí 140-punt agus is é sin cad tá mé chun a léiriú.

“An uair seo, Tá mé ag troid ar mo mheáchan iarbhír. Is dóigh liom láidir. Táim ag teacht go dtí an obair bhabhta ar bhabhta agus ar an Satharn feicfidh gach duine cad atá i gceist agam.”

Jermall Charlo to Battle Matt Korobov for WBC Interim Middleweight Championship Live in Primetime on FOX & FOX Spóirt

Leave a comment

Presented by Premier Boxing Champions on Saturday, Nollaig 22 ó Barclays Ionad i Brooklyn

BROOKLYN (Nollaig 17, 2018) – MBoston contender Matt Korobov has stepped up to challenge Jermall CHARLO for the WBC Interim Middleweight Championship live in primetime on FOX and FOX Deportes on Saturday, Nollaig 22 as Barclays Center, the home of BROOKLYN BOXING™ in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

Korobov is replacing Willie Monroe, Jr, who was removed from the main event after he tested positive for a banned substance by VADA under the WBC Clean Boxing Program. The WBC is conducting further investigation into the matter.

Korobov was due to fight on the undercard and had been training to fight December 22. He willingly stepped forward when the call came for a replacement for Monroe.

“I was well prepared for Willie Monroe, atá ina southpaw, so there won’t be that much difference facing Korobov,” Said CHARLO. “There is a size difference. He’s taller than Monroe, but I’ll just have to adjust my game plan. The best fighters in the world are the ones who are able to make the best adjustments. Beating Korobov is going to make the victory that much sweeter due to this adversity. That means the celebration is going to be sweeter as well. He was fighting on the undercard, so he’s prepared. But now fighting for the title in the top spot is going to make him fight harder. Is breá liom é. He’s a much better opponent on paper than Willie Monroe Jr.”

“I was training to fight on this card so I am physically and mentally ready to fight,” said Korobov. “It doesn’t matter that I am taking this fight on a week’s notice because I have been preparing for this moment my entire life. I will make a few adjustments for Charlo and make the most of this opportunity. Ná caill é. Make sure you tune-in to FOX for a great fight.”

The Charlo vs. Korobov bout is part of a blockbuster PBC on FOX show that features the Charlo Twins defending their world titles and a heavyweight showdown between Dominic Breazeale and Carlos Negron beginning at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT.

Jermall CHARLO, who won a coin toss with his brother, will close the show in a 12-round WBC middleweight championship bout against Korobov, while Jermell Charlo will battle Tony Harrison in defense of the WBC Super Welterweight World Title.

Korobov (28-1, 14 Kos), who was originally scheduled to face Colombia’s Juan De Angel, has an outstanding resume that includes a unanimous decision victory over current super middleweight world champion Jose Uzcategui in 2014. His lone loss came against Andy Lee in a middleweight championship fight in 2014. Korobov was ahead on all three judges’ scorecards when he was caught by a right hand from Lee that resulted in a sixth round TKO loss.

The 35-year-old southpaw is from Orotukan, Russia and now lives in St. Petersburg, Florida. As an amateur he won the European Championships in 2006 by defeating reigning undisputed cruiserweight champion Oleksandr Usyk. Bhí sé ina bhall den 2008 Russian Olympic boxing team and finished his amateur career with a record of 300-12. He enters this fight with four straight victories, having most recently scored a unanimous decision over Jonathan Batista.

Tickets for the show, which is being promoted by Lions Only Promotions and TGB Promotions in association with DiBella Entertainment, begin at $50 agus tá siad ar díol anois. Tickets can be purchased at ticketmaster.com, barclayscenter.com, nó trí ghlaoch ar 800-745-3000.

WILLIE MONROE JR. TRAINING CAMP QUOTES
Middleweight Contender Willie Monroe Jr. Talks Upcoming Showdown Against Jermall Charlo Saturday, Nollaig 22 in Premier Boxing
Champions on FOX & FOX Deportes Action from Barclays Center in
Brooklyn “I’m in my stable now and I’m ready to come flying out of the
gate on December 22,” – Monroe

ROCHESTER,NY. (Nollaig 4, 2018) – Middleweight contender and former title challenger Willie Monroe Jr. discussed his upcoming contest against WBC Interim Middleweight Champion Jermall CHARLO as he prepares to enter the ring in Premier Boxing Champions action Saturday, Nollaig 22 live on FOX and FOX Deportes from Barclays Center, baile BROOKLYN BoxING™.

With fight night approaching, Monroe is hard at work in his hometown of Rochester,Nua-Eabhrac. Along with his coach Timothy Nolan, Monroe believes he is on track to deliver a great performance against an unbeaten opponent.

“Everything in camp right now is on point and moving forward,” said Monroe.”We’re getting the work we need each day. We know how to run a camp smoothly. If I can’t tell anything is wrong, then it’s going great.”

A veteran of two middleweight world title contests against Gennady Golovkin and Billy Joe Saunders, Monroe has had his eye on a Charlo matchup to once again prove himself against an elite middleweight.

“I’ve always watched Jermall’s fights because I have an eye on anyone around my weight class,” said Monroe. “Over the last year or so I’ve started to think I’m really going to get this fight and I’m excited about it coming to fruition on December 22.

“He’s considered one of the top middleweights and it makes this a great match. This time I’m going to have a full training camp like I didn’t get to have for Golovkin and Saunders and it’s going to help me.”

While he doesn’t possess the prodigious knockout power of his opponent, Monroe is more than confident that his other ring attributes will make up for that difference.

“We’re both at the top of the division and you don’t get this far without having a lot of physical ability,” said Monroe. “This fight isn’t about who’s the fastest and strongest though, it’s about how we’re going to execute. I’m not focused on who hits harder but who hits smarter. That’s always going to determine who wins a boxing match.

“Boxing is about intelligence first and everything follows after that. Will I be able to execute and make Jermall uncomfortable? We’ll see what happens on fight night. I’m going to be ready though. I’m in my stable now and I’m ready to come flying out of the gate on December 22.”

Charlo was serving as color commentator for Monroe’s August fight on FS1 and since then the two have gone face-to-face at two separate press events leading up to fight night. With fight week looming, Monroe believes the frequent face time will make an even more exciting fight.

“I’m definitely more eager to fight from seeing Jermall over and over again,” said Monroe. “The little things that you pick up in person tend to make you want to fight even more. You see the opponent and you build it up more in your head and use it for motivation. I think it’s going to make it even more entertaining when we finally get in there.”

Tickets for the show, which is being promoted by Lions Only Promotions and TGB Promotions in association with DiBella Entertainment, begin at $50 and are on sale now. Tickets can be purchased atticketmaster.com, barclayscenter.com, nó trí ghlaoch ar 800-745-3000. Is féidir ticéid a cheannach freisin ag Oifig Boscaí American Express ag Ionad Barclays. Tá lascainí grúpa ar fáil trí ghlaoch 844-BKLYN-GP.

Televised coverage begins at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT and features Jermell Charlo defending his WBC super welterweight world title against Tony Harrison, in addition to the Charlo vs. Monroe showdown. Televised action also features a heavyweight showdown between Dominic Breazeale and Carlos Negron.

U.S. Olympian Terrell Gausha Battles Joey Hernandez & Two-Division Champion Rances Barthelemy & Heavyweight Sensation Efe Ajagba Enter Ring as Part of Stacked Undercard Presented by Premier Boxing Champions Saturday, Nollaig 22 from Barclays Center in Brooklyn

Leave a comment
Níos mó! Rising Prospects Gary Antuanne & Gary Antonio Russell
Both in Action

BROOKLYN (Samhain 27, 2018) – U.S. Olympian and super welterweight contender Terrell Gausha clashes with battle-tough veteran Joey Hernandez in a 10-round bout and former two-division world champion and Cuban star Rances Barthelemy competes in a 10-round super lightweight fight, while heavyweight sensation Efe Ajagba, who is shaking up the division as a fearsome puncher, enters the ring in a six-round attraction all as part of an action-packed undercard on Saturday, Nollaig 22 as Barclays Center, the home of BROOKLYN BOXING™ and presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

 

 

 

The stacked undercard leads into a blockbuster PBC on FOX show that features the Charlo Twins defending their world titles, and a heavyweight showdown between Dominic Breazeale and Carlos Negron in primetime. Jermall CHARLO, who won a coin toss with his brother to determine their fight order, will headline the show in a 12-round WBC interim middleweight championship bout against Willie Monroe, Jr, while Jermell Charlo will defend his WBC super welterweight world title against Tony Harrison.

 

 

 

Also featured on the jam-packed undercard is middleweight contender Matt Korobov(28-1, 14 Kos) in an eight-round fight and a 10-round super welterweight showdown between Brandon Quarles (20-4-1, 10 Kos) agus Todd Manuel (17-16-1, 5 Kos).

 

 

 

The action continues with rising unbeaten prospects and younger brothers of featherweight world champion Gary Russell Jr., mar 2012 U.S. Cluichí Oilimpeacha Gary Antuanne Russell (7-0, 7 Kos) fights in an eight-round super lightweight bout and unbeaten Gary Antonio Russell (12-0, 10 Kos) looks to remain unbeaten in an eight-round bantamweight tilt.

 

 

 

Tickets for the show, which is being promoted by Lions Only Promotions and TGB Promotions in association with DiBella Entertainment, begin at $50 agus tá siad ar díol anois. Tickets can be purchased at ticketmaster.com, barclayscenter.com, nó trí ghlaoch ar 800-745-3000. Is féidir ticéid a cheannach freisin ag Oifig Boscaí American Express ag Ionad Barclays. Tá lascainí grúpa ar fáil trí ghlaoch 844-BKLYN-GP.

 

 

 

The 31-year-old Gausha (20-1, 9 Kos) lost for the first time of his career when he dropped a unanimous decision to Erislandy Lara in a super welterweight title match in 2017 ag Barclays Ionad. A member of the U.S. boxing team at the 2012 London Games, Cleveland’s Gausha is looking to rebound against Hernandez.

 

 

 

Hernandez (27-4-1, 17 Kos) has strung together three straight knockout victories since losing to Austin Trout in 2015 on FS1. A 34-year-old southpaw from Miami, Hernandez is coming off a TKO victory over Jose Antonio Rodriguez on August 8.

 

 

 

A prolific amateur in his native Cuba, Barthelemy (26-1, 13 Kos) returns to the ring after the first defeat of his career, in a super lightweight world title fight against Kiryl Relikh in March. The 32-year-old became a world champion in 2014 when he defeated Argenis Mendez to capture a 130-pound title, and became a two-division champion when he bested Denis Shafikov for a vacant lightweight belt.

 

 

 

Ajagba (7-0, 6 Kos) grabbed attention this summer when his opponent walked out of the ring after touching gloves and the bell sounded to start the opening round live on FS1. He is the lone opponent to leave the ring unscathed against the 24-year-old Ajagba, who was a member of the Nigerian boxing team in the 2016 Rio Olympics and will step into the ring for the fifth time this year and for the second time at Barclays Center as a pro.

Featherweight World Champion Russell Jr. Battles Unbeaten Challenger Diaz Jr. Dé Sathairn, Bealtaine 19 Beo ar Showtime
From MGM National Harbor in Maryland

NATIONAL HARBOR, MD. (Bealtaine 17, 2018) – WBC featherweight Domhanda Champion Gary Russell Jr. and unbeaten top contender Joseph “JoJo” Diaz Jr. went face-to-face Thursday at the final press conference two days before they enter the ring May 19 beo ar Showtime (10:05 p.m. ET / PT) in the main event from MGM National Harbor in Maryland.

 

 

 

The battle between the 2008 U.S. Olympian Russell Jr. agus an 2012 U.S. Olympian Diaz Jr. is part of a split-site SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast that will feature WBC Light Heavyweight World Champion Vernalis Stevenson defending his title against two-division world champion Badou Jack in a main event from Toronto.

 

 

 

Ticéid le haghaidh an ócáid, which is promoted by TGB Promotions in association with Golden Boy Promotions, are on sale now and are available by visitinghttp://mgmnationalharbor.com/.

 

 

 

Both fighters were joined on stage by their fathers who also train them, with Gary Russell Sr. and Joseph Diaz Sr. sitting by their sons ahead of Saturday’s matchup. Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday from MGM National Harbor:

 

GARY RUSSELL JR.

 

 

 

“We’re 120 percent ready for fight night. We’re hungry. As long as I have this strap, nobody is walking in here and taking it. I know Diaz is going to bring his best to the table, but we’re ready. The strap is staying at home.

 

 

 

“Me and my little brothers Gary Antuanne and Gary Antonio are on the undercard and they’re going to show the work they’ve been doing. Our dad’s birthday is the day after the fight so you know we have to make it special for him.

 

 

 

“It’s cool that both me and ‘JoJo’ are trained by our fathers. Because at the end of the day, when you look at your coach, that’s your last line of defense. When everything else goes wrong, you have to go the corner. You have to have a level of trust and belief in your corner, so who better to have than a parent there?

 

 

 

“It’s difficult for me to know if ‘JoJo’ is my toughest opponent since Vasyl Lomachenko because I never train with a lot of worry about my opponents. I think that the biggest thing is preparing myself to the best of my ability and being the best that I can possibly be.

 

 

 

“I believe in my ability to make the necessary adjustments, no matter what my opponent brings to the ring. If he wants to come in and box, we are equally as comfortable boxing long ranged as we are making the fight rugged. In order to be great at anything, you have to have a level of versatility. That’s something I bring to the table that a lot of fighters don’t bring.

 

 

 

“Diaz worked his way up the ranks to get this fight. He did everything you have to do to get in position to fight for a world title. He’s already mentioned that I’m the best fighter in the division and he knows that all the other champions in the division are afraid to step up and compete against me.

 

 

 

“Any fighter who has two months or more to prepare for one opponent is definitely dangerous. We never overlook anyone. I believe in my hand speed, my punching power, my ring generalship and in my ability to make adjustments.

 

 

 

“If we can get through this bout, I would love to get in the ring and unify with any of the other featherweight champions. The timing is perfect right now for any of these unification fights. If they still don’t want it, I’m willing to move up in weight to meet any of the guys who have a name. It’s time to make it happen.

 

 

 

“I take my hat off to him and to his team for having the guts to step into the ring. There are only certain people who can be made for this sport and it speaks volumes about him as an individual. I don’t expect anything less than a worthy opponent.

 

 

 

“It’s a pleasure being here for this fight right near my hometown. We had a very long training camp and everything is feeling good heading into the fight.”

 

JOSEPH DIAZ JR.

 

 

 

“It’s right here and around the corner. I’m very excited for the moment to be here. I’ve been waiting for this my whole entire life and I’m not going to take anything for granted. I trained extremely hard for this fight.

 

 

 

“I absolutely think Gary is overlooking me. I think he underestimated me. I’ve trained for this my whole entire life. This opportunity has been presented to me by my hard work and it’s really the opportunity of a lifetime. I can’t wait to show everybody my skills and what I’m truly about.

 

 

 

“Tá sé faoi gach uainiú. Gary has the fastest hands in boxing but we’ve watched a lot of tape and we see a lot of flaws. Every fighter has flaws. We’re just going to capitalize on what we see and take full advantage on Saturday night.

 

 

 

“I don’t think Gary having not fought since last year will be any kind of advantage. Ba mhaith liom Gary Russell Jr. to be at his best come fight night. I know that I’m at my best and the best man should win on fight night. There shouldn’t be any excuses after this fight and after I win the title.

 

 

 

“I believe after I win this title on Saturday night that I’ll be on top of the throne in the featherweight division. Hopefully I can get some big fights soon after that.

 

 

 

“I’m prepared for everything he’s going to offer. He’s going to come out and box a little bit and look to use his jab, create angles and use his speed to keep me out of range. It’s going to come to the point where he’s not going to want to move as much and he’ll starting fighting on the inside. That’s where I want to be. We’re going to deliver some great blows and may the best man win.

 

 

 

“I know what Gary Russell Jr. brings to the table. I know he’s the toughest fighter in the division but I’m ready to go out there and bring back the WBC title. I’m ready to fight the best and unify all the titles.

 

 

 

“It’s going to be fireworks on Saturday night. I’ve had a perfect training camp and I’m on weight. Everything feels great and I can’t wait to step into the ring.

 

 

 

“I’m ready for anything. If it stops early or goes the distance, I’m going to keep pushing each round more than the last.

 

 

 

“It would mean everything to win this world title. Not just for myself, but for my whole family. All the hard work and struggles that we’ve been through, it’s finally here. I’m going to do everything I can to come out victorious. Our lives are going to change and I’m going to inspire the youth and the people around me. I want people to know that if you put your mind to it, anything is possible.”

 

GARY RUSSELL SR., Russell’s Father & Traenálaí

 

 

 

“The reason for the inactivity is just politics. We always have the intention on fighting but we want to find the best opponent for Gary. ‘JoJo’ is the mandatory so we’re going to fight him and after we get this win, we’re looking at Leo Santa Cruz, Láracha Abner, Carl Frampton. We want to unify.

 

 

 

“Before Gary retires from the sport, he’ll move up and do whatever it takes to get a rematch with Lomachenko.

 

 

 

“We like to say that this is just Gary’s occupation. He gets paid to fight and he’s able to support his family because of that. All of the accolades don’t really mean anything to him or to us. The WBC belt is definitely the most prestigious, but like Gary said, we’re not really into the little trinkets. He would take it to the pawn shop if he could. We’re not really into those type of accolades. We just want to conduct ourselves as gentlemen, set an example and get paid.”

 

JOSEPH DIAZ SR., Diaz’s Father & Traenálaí

 

 

 

“It’s a blessing to be in this position. I really believe that god didn’t bring us this far only to bring us this far. I really think the journey is going to continue. I’m very proud of my son. He has worked really hard and has shown a lot of will and determination. It means the world to me that he’s pursuing his career and is doing something that he loves doing.

 

 

 

 

“It’s exciting to finally have a fight on the east coast. It’s beautiful out here. Joseph has been wanting to fight out here and now he has that opportunity to meet some of the fans he has out here that he hasn’t had the chance to meet.

 

 

 

“Russell Jr. is a fast fighter. He’s skilled and he’s smart in there. We’ve been working on Joseph’s timing. Joseph’s a little deceiving because he kind of moves a little slow but he’s actually much faster than people think he is. The speed of Russell doesn’t affect us at all. Joseph has sparred and fought fast fighters especially in the amateurs.

 

 

 

“The plan is to go in there and beat Gary Russell up. And we’re hoping this win sets up bigger and better fights with the Santa Cruz and the Selby’s of the world. All of the champions. We’re hoping to get some of those opportunities because it will bring a lot of attention to the boxing world. Joseph will be a very good ambassador for the sport of boxing.”

 

STEPHEN Espinoza, President Sports & Events Programming, Showtime Network Inc.

 

 

 

“We’re thrilled to be here at MGM National Harbor. MGM is an incredible brand that means a lot in boxing. It is a brand that is known throughout the sport at the highest level and we appreciate the entire MGM organization and their support for the sport.

 

 

 

“Gary Russell Jr. vs. ‘JoJo’ Diaz which is an outstanding matchup. Gary is without questions one of the most skilled-if not the most skilled fighter in any division. He’s known for having the fastest hands in the sport. ‘JoJo’ Diaz is a young rising star who I’ve known personally since he turned pro. These are two action fighters. They’re fan-friendly fighters who will deliver an action packed night.

 

 

 

“It’s been an interesting couple of weeks in boxing. A lot of announcements, new ventures and big promises. But here at SHOWTIME we just keep doing what we’ve been doing, and what we’ve been doing is delivering the best fighters, the biggest fights, week after week and month after month.

 

 

 

“SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING is the home of more world champions and more world championship fights than anywhere on any other network. Speaking of title fights, we’re going to have three of them, from three different countries. Ag 5 p.m. ETstreaming on the SHOWTIME Facebook and Social Media platforms, we have IBF Featherweight Champion Lee Selby against challenger Josh Warrington. Ag 10:05 p.m. AGUS, we will have Russell Jr. vs. Diaz Jr. for the WBC Featherweight title, and immediately following that we’ll take you to Toronto for a light heavyweight world title fight between Adonis Stevenson and Badou Jack.

 

 

 

“All six of these fighters competing in Saturday’s world title fights are ranked in the top 10 of their division and have a combined record of 157 wins with only four losses.”

 

PETE BRASCIA, Senior VP of Marketing & Operations, MGM National Harbor

 

 

 

“We’re very excited to welcome these fighters and everyone involved in this event, back to MGM National Harbor. One year ago I was on a similar stage as we prepared for Gary Russell Jr. to defend his world title, and he did not disappoint his fans.

 

 

 

“The fans here in Prince George’s County and the whole region love a good show and a good fight. They love it even more when they can root on their hometown hero. Oíche Dé Sathairn, Beidh aon éagsúla.

 

 

 

“This will be an incredible show between Gary Russell Jr. and the undefeated Olympian ‘JoJo’ Diaz. I’m hoping for good weather Saturday night, but I’m certain we’re going to get a good show.”

(Bealtaine 11, 2018) – Featherweight world champion Gary Russell Jr. and undefeated mandatory challenger Joseph “JoJo” Diaz Jr. met members of the media on opposite coasts on Thursday, just one week out of their WBC world title showdown on Saturday, Bealtaine 19, ó MGM National Harbour i Maryland.

 

 

 

Russell will defend his WBC title against Diaz in a split-site SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast (10:05 p.m. ET / PT) and will feature WBC Light Heavyweight World Champion Vernalis Stevenson defending his title against two-division world champion Badou Jack in a 12-round main event presented by Premier Boxing Champions from Toronto.

 

 

 

Russell was joined by his younger brothers, Gary Antuanne Russell agus Gary Antonio Russell at The Enigma Boxing Gym in Capitol Heights, Md., while Diaz took part in a workout at Azteca Gym in the City of Bell, just east of downtown Los Angeles.

 

 

 

Tickets for the MGM National Harbor show, which is promoted by TGB Promotions in association with Golden Boy Promotions, are on sale now and are available by visiting http://mgmnationalharbor.com/.

 

 

 

Here’s what the fighters had to say on Thursday:

 

GARY RUSSELL JR.

 

 

 

“Sometimes you tend to magnify an event because of the fact that it’s in your hometown and it’s on a major card. It tends to take away from the true goal and the true purpose. I just need to focus on what the objective is. We never magnify the events. I think it’s cool that the neighbors and the mail lady and the people who honk their horns as they see me jogging down the street have the ability to get in their car and drive 15 minutes down the road to be a part of everything that’s going on and get to see a product of their environment.

 

 

 

“I draw my energy from my family, mo chairde, the true fans of Gary Russell Jr. That’s what I ultimately do it for. Regardless of what our profession is, we try to have a sense of financial stability for our families and that’s my objective as well. That’s what keeps me motivated.

 

 

 

“Diaz already made the statement that I am the best fighter in the featherweight division. He already made the statement that none of the other world champions are willing to step into the ring to compete against me. The managers and the promoters aren’t willing to put their fighters in the ring against me.

 

 

 

“I welcome the fact that Diaz wants the fight. As a world champion, I wouldn’t want or expect anything less. I want a competitor that’s ready to fight and that’s going to bring their best. I believe that he’s going to be the best that he can possibly be. My objective is to prepare myself to the best of my ability. I never really focus too much on my opponents. If Gary Russell Jr. is the best that he can be on fight night, then we’re good.

 

 

 

“I know that Diaz is young, tá sé ocras. He’s the number one contender. He has eight weeks to prepare for nobody else but me. That’s always a recipe for somebody who’s really going to be ready and hungry. I think he knows that he’s getting in the ring with one of the best fighters in the world so he’s going to be ready.

 

 

 

“Is breá liom cad a dhéanfaidh mé. Even when I’m done with the sport of boxing, I’ll still be in the gym training and looking to spar. I’ve been competing since I was seven years old. I’ll be 30, it’s a lot of time that I’ve spent grinding. I just want to be able to spend time with my family and my friends and help give back to this younger generation.

 

 

 

“I take my hat off to him for getting in the ring and making this fight happen. You have to appreciate that as a fellow warrior and as a fellow gladiator, I respect it.

 

 

 

“I have the strength, the speed, the power, generalship fáinne, boxing IQ – all of that will come together on the 19ú.

 

 

 

“I definitely see my hand speed being effective but it’s more than that. That’s just a physical attribute. What happens when you see two fighters who have an equal amount of hand speed and an equal amount of power? It’s the mindset.

 

 

 

“It’s always cool to compete with my younger brothers and share the field of battle with them. But I try not to magnify the event. The true focus is being victorious on the 19ú.

 

 

 

“It’s always important to see my brothers develop, even if it wasn’t on my card. We have a concept of a dynasty. My definition of that is information being passed down from generation to generation. I feel as though when my younger brothers get to the age I am, I expect them to be better than what I am now. The sky is the limit and I want them to keep developing not just as fighters but as men.

 

 

 

“We put the city on the map. We’re bringing boxing back to the DMV area. Gervonta Davis is a fighter that I’ve watched come up through the amateurs and now he’s a world champion. Jarrett Hurd is another one that I’ve watched come up in the amateurs. He used to watch me train getting ready for the Olympics and now he’s a world champion as well. It goes to show that if you keep pushing, you stay hungry, diligent and you don’t cut corners, is é an spéir an teorainn.”

 

JOSEPH DIAZ JR.

 

 

 

“I have no hostility toward Gary Russell Jr. I respect Gary Russell Jr., and I know what he brings to the table. Ever since I was brought up as a professional fighter I was always humble and I was always down to earth. Now that I have the opportunity to become the champion that I know I can be I feel like I’m more outspoken because I know that the opportunity is finally here, and I know what I’m capable of doing.

 

 

 

“I want to fight the best at 126 pounds and I want to show all the fans that I’m the real deal. By fighting and bringing on the toughest 126 pounders like Gary Russell Jr., and defeating him, that’s going to showcase to the whole boxing world that I am the real deal and I will be the king at 126 punt.

 

 

 

“He’s been inactive and used to fighting just once a year now. But what makes him so dangerous is he’s very, very speedy and has great hand speed. And not only that but he knows how to use his hand speed and counter when guys are opening up. My father and I know what we are bringing to the table, and I’m fast, chomh maith. I have a very high boxing IQ and I’m very powerful in there. I know how to land sneaky body shots and I’m a big 126-pound fighter, and that will be the key to victory. He will try and land his power shots, but they’re not going to be effective because I’m the bigger fighter.

 

 

 

“I need to bring this WBC belt back to L.A. and to South El Monte. I’ll be the first champion coming out of there and I’m a role model to a lot of youth. That’s what makes me hungry and I’m one hundred percent confident I’ll be the champion and we will have a big parade in South El Monte, and you’re all invited!

 

 

 

“I’m like Pernell Whitaker and an Oscar De La Hoya mix. Pernell because he’s fast and Oscar because he applies the pressure and throws combinations. That’s what I plan on bringing to this fight. Applying the pressure and taking him to a point where he’s never been before. He drops his hands a lot and his defense is not that good, so I’ll be taking advantage of that. I’ll be landing body shots, and let’s see if he can take it for 12 babhtaí.

 

 

 

“This is an opportunity of a lifetime. Fighting for a world title against Gary Russell Jr., is a dream come true. I feel like I’m so much better a fighter now than I was at the Olympics. If feel like if I fought that kid who was in the Olympics now I’d stop him in the first round. My management and trainers have groomed me for this fight on May 19. I fought some undefeated fighters, some experienced fighters and some real live dogs. I just feel like all the experience I’ve gained in the past will serve me well.

 

 

 

“I’d like to fight all the best in the 126-pound division, Leo Santa Cruz, Láracha Abner, Oscar Valdez and Lee Selby. These are big fights that I really want to make and I want to fight the best and be the best.”

GARY ANTONIO RUSSELL

 

 

 

“We’re in the ring with Gary every day, so we see a lot of things that other people don’t. People only judge him for his hand speed and are just starting to recognize his power, but nobody has seen his full potential yet. No fighter he has faced has forced him to bring it out.

 

 

 

“Diaz doesn’t know what he has coming for him. Most fighters are one-dimensional. Gary is comfortable fighting anyway. He can fight on the inside, the outside, he can counter, he can box you, JoJo Diaz does not know what to expect.

 

 

 

“There’s never a time when we’re in the gym together when we’re not critiquing each other and learning. That’s the whole point of being in the gym every day. Once you feel you’re learning has stopped, I think you should give it up. We’re always in here trying to sharpen our game.”

GARY ANTUANNE RUSSELL

 

 

“It’s more enjoyable fighting with my brothers. As a child, if you had three kids and one of them went to school by himself, it would be a little rough. It’s great having that support and the comfort having your brothers on the same card.

 

 

 

“We try to gravitate towards our brother and take certain things from him. We notice his hand speed and we’re his younger brothers, of course we have that alter ego where we think we could be faster than him or hit harder than him. That competitiveness drives us. It’s always there.”

 

GARY RUSSELL SR.

 

 

 

“The camp has been good. We’ve been getting the work in. Everybody seems to be on point. We’re always in camp together.

 

 

 

“JoJo Diaz has a lot of confidence. All fighters pretty much all do the same thing, unless they have incredible physical attributes that make them stand out. JoJo believes in himself and that’s something that’s a plus for any fighter. Whether or not he’s ready to go out of his shell, go fós le feiceáil. He loves his left hand, he tries to go to the body. He impressed me as a good inside fighter.

 

 

 

“This is a huge plus for us. We’re only 15 minutes from home. We just get to do what we have to do and go home.

 

 

 

“Antonio is a really hard puncher. A lot of people don’t know it, but for that weight class, he hits extremely hard. Antuanne is starting to develop into a complete fighter. He’s always learning. You never get to the point where you have it all, it’s a constant growth but he’s really starting to understand the technical aspects of the sport. I’m happy with both of them.”
