BROOKLYN (Juliol 30, 2017) – Campió del món de tres divisions Mikey García kept his undefeated record intact with a dominant 12-round performance against four-division world champion Adrien Broner en l'esdeveniment principal de SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING, Saturday on SHOWTIME from Barclays Center, la casa de BROOKLYN BOXA®.
In what could be considered one of the best performances of his career, García (37-0, 30 Nocauts) won a unanimous decision by scores of 117-111 i 116-112 dues vegades.
“Entrenem per 10 setmanalment, we had a great training camp and great sparring, we knew it was going to be a tough fight,” va dir Garcia.
Garcia took the lead early on, showcasing fundamentally sound technique and backing Broner into the ropes midway through the second frame. A flurry of body shots put Broner in trouble in the second round. While Broner was able to stay on his feet, Garcia emerged with another round in his favor.
“I think I controlled the fight in the early rounds and I kept the activity up,” va dir Garcia. “Broner is a great fighter and he has great skills but I was the superior fighter aquesta nit.”
Garcia showed a combination of jabs, power punches and body shots all night long. He cornered Broner on the ropes with a huge left hook halfway through the third frame, and backed him in to the ropes again with 39 seconds remaining in the round. While Broner showed some movement in the fourth round and hit Garcia with a succession of 1-2 combinations, Garcia’s bodywork kept Broner at bay.
“It was part of the strategy to be a little busier in this fight than in the fights I have previously had,” va dir Garcia.
Broner (33-3, 24 KOs) looked to get back in the fight as he started the eighth round with a succession of sharp combinations, however his lack of consistency couldn’t withstand Garcia’s phenomenal body shots and overall punch output. Through eight rounds, Garcia had thrown a total of 500 cops, while Broner had just thrown 291.
“It was a good fight at the end of the day, I come to fight I come to win and I put my heart on the line,” va dir Broner. “But it was Tom & Jerry; I had to catch the mouse.”
Although Garcia had amassed an early lead from the first three-quarters of the fight, Broner continued to walk through heavy fire from Garcia in an attempt to connect with a big punch and change the tide of the fight. While he was able to ignite the crowd and land several big punches over the final three rounds, none of it proved to be enough to slow down Garcia.
“It was my timing, I’ve always said I have very good timing,” va dir García. “It is underestimated when you are outside the ring but once you get inside the ring with me, I’m a step ahead.”
El invicte Jermall Charlo (26-0, 20 KOs) made his debut at 160-pounds with a stoppage of Argentine contender Jorge Sebastian Heiland (29-5-2, 16 KOs) in the co-featured event of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING. L'atur es va produir en 2:13 of the fourth round after Charlo delivered a devastating left hook followed by a big right to end the fight.
Charlo, de Houston, Texas, dominated the pace from the beginning. He landed the sharper and more accurate punches throughout the fight, especially in the first round where he landed 50 percent of his power shots to Heiland’s 13 per cent. Charlo’s straight right was his power weapon throughout the contest.
“I felt good at this weight. I was in good shape all camp,” Said Charlo. “I just had to keep my composure in the ring. That’s always something I have to work on and I was able to do it.
“After I dropped him the first time they said he fell on top of his ankle. That’s just part of the boxing game. I had to just stay consistent and get the work done.”
Heiland, of Buenos Aires, Argentina, had issues with his left leg after injuring his knee in the first round. His discomfort was clear in his awkward footwork and lack of power behind his punches. Referee Benjy Esteves had the doctor examine him twice throughout the fight, once before the third round and then again before the fourth.
“I turned my left knee in the first round, but I did not want to give up,” said Heiland. “Vaig tractar de donar tot de mi, but it was not my night. I had bad luck but I am going to work harder than ever to get back and get another opportunity to achieve my dream and win a world title.”
Charlo stayed focused on his game plan despite seeing his opponent injured. “Sometimes the injury can be a decoy, you never want to just jump in and think it’s part of his game plan,” Charlo said. “My coach told me to stay behind my jab like I did; continue to work and it’s going to come.”
With this win, Charlo becomes a mandatory challenger for the WBC Middleweight World Championship.
“I’m ready for anyone. I’m ready for whoever wants to fight me,” Charlo added. “Bring on the biggest names at 160. I’m the real Tommy Hearns. I feel it’s my turn and I’m going to go get it.”
Encapçalant el “SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING Prelims,” de pes pesat Jarrell Miller (19-0-1, 17 KOs), de Brooklyn, N.Y., stopped former world title challenger Gerald Washington (18-2-1, 12 KOs) after eight-rounds.
Miller used his significant size advantage and effective power-punching to break down the former collegiate football player. Washington had some success early with his jab and body attack, but was not able to stay out of punching range of Miller
Washington surged in the sixth round with a series of power shots that staggered Miller, however the Brooklynite countered and further broke down Washington, who landed just 20% of his jabs overall.
Molinero, who landed almost half of his power punches, continued the onslaught in the seventh and eight rounds, and while Washington was able to stay on his feet, he took enough punishment that his corner called the fight after the eighth round.
“I definitely felt the ring rust,” va dir Miller, who was making his third appearance on SHOWTIME. “Gerald was very tough. It was a very good fight that had me thinking. El meu poder hi era, but I couldn’t put it together the way I wanted to today.
“I took the hard way back coming in off of a layoff. Gerald definitely pushed me and motivated me. I had to rely on my brain and my power.
“I knew there would be a give and take in this fight. It’s one thing to fight when you have stamina, it’s another to fight when you’re tired. I was trying to outthink him.”
En la baralla d'obertura de “SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING Prelims” on Facebook Live, Irish sensation Katie Taylor (6-0, 4 KOs) detingut Jasmine Clarkson (4-9) after three rounds of action in the latter fighter’s U.S. debut.
The Olympic Gold medalist was dominant from the outset, stalking her opponent around the ring and consistently trapping her in the corner. Taylor was effective with both hands and did most of her work to the head of Clarkson. After three rounds of damage, Clarkson’s corner stopped the bout and gave Taylor her first stateside win as a pro.
“It was a fantastic experience being my first time competing here in the U.S,” va dir Taylor. “There were definitely some nerves before the fight. It was great to go in there and get a stoppage.
“I hope that I made some fans aquesta nit. I loved hearing the Irish fans in the crowd. I hope that there will be even more next time I fight here. The more fights I have here in the U.S. la millor.
“I thought I performed pretty well. I definitely got caught with a few silly shots. I could have been cleaner but overall it was a good performance. I felt good and strong. I’ll be ready to get back in there as soon as possible.”
Additional action saw former world champion Rau'shee Warren (15-2, 4 KOs) earn a unanimous decision victory over former champion McJoe Arroyo (17-2, 8 KOs) and became the mandatory challenger for the IBF Junior Bantamweight World Title.
Warren attacked the body throughout the bout and landed the cleaner, more effective punches over the 12-round contest. The judges concurred and gave him the decision by scores of 118-10 i 117-111 dues vegades.
“I would give myself a B+ for that performance,” va dir Warren. “I wanted to make sure to use my jab and I felt like it really helped me win the fight.
“I feel really good at this weight. Now it’s time for me to go get a strap. I haven’t been at this weight since the Olympics. I want to get these titles and then go down to 112 pounds for another title. First I want to take care of Jerwin Ancajas.”

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday from Dream Hotel Downtown:

Adrien Broner

“Just know that I’ll be ready en dissabte nit. I’m not worried about how much he’ll weigh when we step into the ring. Estic preparat per a qualsevol cosa.

“Camp was tough, but it was great. I did a lot of things differently and made sure that I was doing everything right. I made sure not to cut any corners this camp.

“This is going to be a great fight for boxing. I’ve done my due diligence. I’m going to take care of business. I just know myself and know what I’m capable of.

“Every fight is a must-win in this sport. There’s no fight you go into with a loss on your mind. Vaig a fer un espectacle en dissabte.

“I laugh when people write me off. I’m used to being the underdog coming from where I come from. People don’t know what I’ve been through to get to this point. I’m blessed to be where I’m at. Dissabte night there will be a lot more room on the bandwagon.

“We’ll see who’s on the pound-for-pound list after Dissabte nit. We could have fought years ago but the time is now and I’m ready.

“I’m glad that the Garcia team took this fight as quickly as we did. I’ve been taking everything seriously in Colorado. I know Mikey will be ready too. Robert Garcia definitely has some confidence from beating me with Marcos Maidana. But Mikey is not Maidana.

“I just don’t feel like Mikey will be able to do anything to stop me from getting the victory. I’m sure he’s confident too. After I make it look easy, I want everyone to write about it and say something good.

“I can make anybody quit in the ring. Mikey is no different. If I execute and stay focused, don’t be surprised. Estic a punt per aquesta baralla.

"Dissabte is going to be a special day for me. My birthday is demà. I’m almost 30. I want to dedicate this victory to my twin brother Andre. Seeing his smile will make it even more special for me.”

MIKEY GARCIA

“I’m prepared to go 12 hard rounds with Adrien Broner. This is a high profile fight. Probably more than my other fights. It’s created a lot of buzz amongst fans and media. Everyone is anticipating a great fight. This is a great matchup that can take me to the next level.

“I don’t think that he’s going to be desperate but he knows that I’m not an easy opponent. That’s why he’s taken camp so seriously. I expect him to be at his best and be ready. He knows that if he beats me he can launch his career back to where it was.

“He’s a four-division world champion so clearly he has the skills. I need someone who is hungry and motivated to bring out the best in me. My main focus is getting the win by any means necessary.

“I’m going to lo look to box effectively and show that I’m the better fighter. We’re both smart fighters but neither of us will run from the other. When you have styles like ourselves, with two guys who like to exchange punches, you’re in for a great battle.

“I think Adrien will be fine with the weight. He’s a pro and he knows that he really has to make weight. He’s learned from his mistakes. Sometimes he jokes around but that’s just part of his character. He takes things a lot more seriously because he’s facing me.

“If I can get this win, I just want to keep moving forward and fulfilling my dreams. I want to be in huge fights consistently. This is a crossroads fight for both of us to get to that level.

“I’m very excited to be here. Brooklyn was very kind to me when I fought here last year. I expect the fans to be here and show up like they always do en dissabte. There are incredible boxing fans in New York.

“I’m here to prove that I’m back and stronger than ever. This is another opportunity to show the kind of fighter that I am. I won’t let Adrien Broner stand in my way. This is my chance to show the best version of myself.”

Charlo JERMALL

“I feel great and ready to make my debut at 160 lliura. Camp has gone smoothly. I’m ready to dominate this division like I did 154 lliura. My plan is to care of Heiland and then everything else will fall into line from there.

“This is a bigger, better and stronger version of Jermall Charlo. Everything has come together during camp. Ronnie Shields runs a great camp and I believe he’s continuing to bring the best out of me.

“I’m completely focused on this matchup. I know that I can’t get any of the big fights that I crave without taking care of Heiland. I’m going to break him down and if the knockout comes, I’ll make sure to take advantage.

“My hat is off to Adrien Broner and Mikey Garcia for bringing out all the fans and media for this great show. It’s a real thrill to be a part of this event.”

JORGE SEBASTIAN HEILAND

“I’m thankful to everyone who has welcomed me to New York. I’m happy to have this big opportunity and I’m 100 percent prepared for whatever Jermall Charlo brings. Jermall is a great fighter and I know that he is going to bring everything he has.

“I’ve had an amazing camp and I’ve never felt more prepared for an opportunity than this. I was very patient and I will take full advantage. My plan is to leave everything in the ring en dissabte.

“My team has been with me for a long time as I waited for this opportunity. Be ready because it’s going to be a battle and a great matchup en dissabte. You won’t want to miss it.”

Gerald Washington

“I came here to go to work. I’m going to shut that big mouth of his up. I hope someone is holding him accountable for all the words he’s been saying. You’re in there with a real one en dissabte nit. I’m going to welcome you to this game for real.

“I’m sure he’ll try to bring some extra pressure. I’m going to introduce him to a new class of boxing. I’ve taken a lot from my experiences in training camp with Wladimir Klitschko and in the ring with Deontay Wilder. You’ll see the difference en dissabte.

“I’m still growing in this sport. I’ve been learning on the job this whole time and each experience just means so much to me. I wanted to take on a tough undefeated fighter because I knew that it would make it a great fight.

“This is most definitely ending inside of the distance. I’m coming after him. I’m going to wear him out. Then it’s time to take him out.”

JARRELL MILLER

“If you don’t know who “Big Baby” is, you soon will. I’ve never seen anyone get knocked out and get praised for it, but that’s what people are doing for Washington. I’ve never been hurt in my life in the ring and I’ll prove it en dissabte.

“This guy said he’s going to introduce me to big-time boxing. I’ve been in front of huge crowds and I’ve come through with knockout wins. I’ll be more than ready en dissabte nit.

“I’ve got big plans in this sport and this is only the start. Brooklyn fans loved their hometown heavyweights Mike Tyson and Riddick Bowe. I’m going to be next in that line and this city will love me.”

KATIE TAYLOR

“It’s incredible to be here in New York and to make my US debut on this incredible card. It’s truly a privilege.

“Training has gone so well and I’m so happy that SHOWTIME will stream the fight. It’s incredible for my fans overseas and all fans of women’s boxing.

“I hope to make a strong statement this weekend and I hope everyone enjoys the fight en dissabte nit ".

LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO de Mayweather Promotions

“This is definitely a must-see event en dissabte nit. Two great fighters, fighting at the right time, both in the prime of their careers. Serà un gran espectacle.

“One of the main reasons why boxing is going to the next level is because the people at the top have a vision of seeing great fights. We have another great example of that aquest dissabte nit al Barclays Center

“Anytime you have a great event, it’s going to start with the undercard. We have a lot of young fighters looking to show off their skills. We’re thrilled to have our very own Richardson Hitchins and Kenny Robles competing in exciting undercard action.”

Lou DiBella, El president de DiBella Entertainment

“A month from now there will be a huge event in Las Vegas, però two days from now there is the best fight card of the summer, the best fight of the summer, and a great show from top to bottom at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

“We will also be streaming Katie Taylor’s U.S. debut. People know Katie from reputation alone, and we thought it was important to have her fight seen. The heavyweight fight between Gerald Washington and Jarrell Miller is another one that deserves to be seen and I think it could be the fight that steals the show.

“The main event has two of the brightest young stars in boxing. They both feel like they’ve been on this stage for a while. You know their resumes and you have to give them all of the credit in the world for taking this fight. Neither had to take this fight, but it will be one of the most exciting matchups of the summer.

“We have had 19 live presentations and 15 world title fights so far and we’re proud of what we’ve done accomplished so far. Boxing has had a great year and much of that has been carried by SHOWTIME boxing. That will continue aquest dissabte."

NOVA YORK (Juliol 6, 2017) – Consensus top-10 heavyweight Jarrell "Big Baby" Miller will make his hometown debut just down the block from where he was born when he faces former world title challenger Gerald Washington at Barclays Center, la casa de BROOKLYN BOXA, after an 11-month hiatus.

 

El 6 peus-4, 285-pound undefeated Miller (18-0-1, 16 KOs) will meet dangerous heavyweight contender and former college football player, Washington (18-1-1, 12 KOs) in a 10-round showdown on Dissabte, Juliol 29. Highlights of Miller vs. Washington will air on SHOWTIME (9 p.m. I/6 p.m. PT), part of a SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING doubleheader headlined by Adrien Broner and Mikey Garcia.

 

Jarrell Miller is promoted by Salita Promotions and Greg Cohen Promotions in association with Big Baby Promotions.

 

The confident and hard-hitting Miller has knocked out seven consecutive opponents since his pro debut in 2009. Following a voluntary layoff due to contractual disputes, the 28-year-old former professional kickboxer will take a step up in opposition when he faces Washington, a U.S. Navy veteran who challenged heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder earlier this year in a hard-fought bout.

 

“The day has been set and it can’t come soon enough,” said Miller. “Fighting is my life and being able to make my debut at Barclays Center is beyond monumental. This will be a night to remember for me, my family and for the fans.”

 

“Jarrell Miller is the heir to the heavyweight championship throne,”, Va dir Dmitriy Salita, President de Salita Promotions. “Like the great American heavyweights from Brooklyn, Mike Tyson and Riddick Bowe, Jarrell has the skills and charisma to be the face of the heavyweight division. Following in their footsteps I believe he is the next boxing superstar from the world famous borough.”

 

Classificat núm. 5 de l'OMB i No. 7 by the WBA and IBF, Miller earned three stoppage victories in 2016, including a third-round TKO over veteran Fred Kassi in his 2016 headlining fight on ShoBox: La Nova Generació, where he landed 57 per cent dels seus tirs de l'energia.

 

“I’m a born, bred fighter,” Miller continued. “I’ve been fighting since Day 1. I’m good at everything – damn good at everything. Jo puc boxejar, Puc sloug, and I bring the pain. Every time I go into a fight, I look for the knockout. Sóc ràpid, I’m powerful, and I’ve got a big damn mouth.”

 

Charismatic and eloquent with an outspoken affinity for cheeseburgers, Miller doesn’t hesitate to dole out trash talk, especially when it comes to his opinion on the state of the heavyweight division and its big names.

 

“The heavyweight division is gaining momentum overseas but it’s still wide open,” Miller continued. “Big Baby Miller has arrived to stay. I will shake up the division by turning it upside down and I will put not just my beloved hometown of Brooklyn on the map, but the entire United States of America.”

 

The 6-foot-6 Washington, 35, is a well-rounded athlete from Vallejo, Califòrnia. who turned to pro boxing in 2012. He played football under Pete Carroll and Steve Sarkisian at University of Southern California and was part of the Buffalo Bills and Seattle Seahawks practice squads before turning to boxing. Washington holds victories over experienced one-time Wladimir Klitschko foe Eddie Chambers and veteran Ray Austin. He will be making his East Coast debut on Juliol 29.

 

“I’d like to take this opportunity to personally welcome Big Baby Miller to big-time boxing,” va dir que Washington. “Big Baby Miller has done a lot of talking, I’ll be looking to stop that talking from the moment the bell to start the fight rings.”

(Febrer 25, 2017) – Caleb Plant, prospecte en ascens invicte (15-0, 10 KOs) va prendre una decisió unànime (100-89, 100-89, 99-90) victòria sobre un experimentat Thomas Awimbono (25-7-1, 21 KOs) a l'esdeveniment principal de Premier Boxing Champions a FS1 i FOX Deportes des del Legacy Arena de Birmingham, A.
En el primer partit televisat, Tugstsogt Nyambayar (8-0, 7 KOs) va sortir victoriós amb una lluita molt lluitada 10ºnocaut tècnic rodó sobre Jhon Gemino (15-8-1, 7 KOs).
Això és el que van dir els lluitadors després dels seus combats:
CALEB PLANTA
“Aquesta nit era per mantenir-se controlat. No volia sortir allà i forçar res. Només volia relaxar-me i instal·lar-me darrere del meu jab, utilitzar els meus desmais, i només fes els trets que hi havia per a mi.
“Espero que una victòria com aquesta m'obri algunes portes. La 168 La divisió de lliures és a la meva butxaca posterior. Només ho faig una lluita a la vegada i aconseguirem el nostre objectiu.
“Recórrer la distància per aconseguir una victòria sobre un lluitador experimentat com Awimbono demostra molt sobre el meu potencial. Ha estat allà amb uns grans lluitadors, però vaig lluitar contra la meva lluita i vaig aconseguir la victòria.
“El vaig deixar caure d'hora amb una ràfega, però és difícil contra un noi que no es volia comprometre. Has d'agafar el que et donen. En cas contrari, m'arrisco a ser massa agressiu i a quedar-me agafat desprevingut, que no puc permetre. He de tenir paciència i trobar els meus llocs.
“Espero baralles més grans cada vegada. No volem cap toc suau. He estat intentant lluitar amb alguns dels millors prospectes, nois amb alguns títols menors, però no acceptaran la lluita. Tanmateix, no puc deixar que això em molesti, perquè sé que tinc un alt risc per a aquests nois. Potser és a principis de la meva carrera, però puc fer els ajustos i fer-ho tot.”
TUGSTSOGT NYAMBAYA
“Va significar molt aconseguir una victòria com aquella contra un lluitador accidentat amb poca antelació.
“Buscàvem un nocaut molt abans, però Gemino va ser molt dur aquesta nit. Va mostrar molt de cor, però per sort hem aconseguit la victòria.
“Tot i que aquest era un pes més pesat del que estic acostumat a lluitar, No vaig tenir cap problema amb la seva mida.
“Lluitar amb una carta com aquesta a FS1 i FOX Deportes significa el món per a mi. Aquesta va ser una gran oportunitat per mostrar les meves habilitats.
“Vull a qualsevol que em posin al davant. M'enfrontaré a qui sigui.”
JOAN GEMINO
“No estic intentant trobar excuses, però vam prendre aquesta lluita amb molt poc temps. Estic molt frustrat amb la meva actuació d'aquesta nit.
“Faré tot el possible per aconseguir una altra lluita als Estats Units. i prometo donar-ho tot sempre. Espero que els aficionats hagin gaudit de la nostra lluita d'aquesta nit.
“Estic disposat a lluitar contra qualsevol, Només m'agradaria tenir més temps per preparar-me per Nyambayar.”

BIRMINGHAM, A. (Febrer 25, 2017) – Deontay, campió mundial de pes pesat invicte “El bombarder de Bronze” Wilder (38-0, 37 KOs) va noquejar en Gerald “El Gall Negre” Washington (18-1-1, 12 KOs) a la cinquena ronda de l'esdeveniment principal de Premier Boxing Champions a FOX i FOX Deportes al Legacy Arena de Birmingham, A.

Tot i que Washington va robar algunes de les primeres rondes, La paciència de Wilder va donar els seus fruits, ja que va poder trobar el seu ritme i acabar amb Washington al cinquè quadre.
A l'estretor televisiu, Dominic Breazeale (18-1, 16 KOs) va aturar l'invicte Izuagbe Ugonoh (17-1, 14 KOs). Ugonoh va controlar la lluita primerencament donant cops forts tant al cos com al cap de Breazeale, però Breazeale va ser capaç de compondre's i va tornar per noquejar a Ugonoh d'una manera impressionant..
L'acte principal va comptar amb Jarrett Hurd (20-0, 14 KOs) eliminant Tony Harrison (24-2, 20 KOs) a la novena ronda del seu concurs.
Això és el que van dir els lluitadors després dels seus combats:
Deontay WILDER
“Sabia que entraria emocionat per lluitar per un títol mundial. Només vaig mantenir la calma i vaig trobar el meu ritme. Realment sabia que es cansaria, i quan ho va fer vaig aprofitar.
“Tot era qüestió de temps. Sóc molt intel·ligent quan es tracta d'utilitzar diferents tàctiques al ring.
“Lluitar aquí a Alabama és una benedicció. La gent d'aquí es presenta per donar-me suport i els estimo per això. Sempre donaré suport i estaré aquí per a la meva família d'Alabama. Veure la resposta del públic aquesta nit va significar molt per a mi.
“Com he anat dient, Estic buscant unificar la divisió. Crec que és fonamental tenir un lluitador i un campió, i aquest és Deontay Wilder. Esperem que Joseph Parker estigui preparat per a mi perquè definitivament estic preparat per a ell.”
Gerald Washington
“Només em vaig impacientar una mica. Jo estava intentant anar-hi. Va ser un partit de boxa igualat. Podria haver-ho mantingut així i avorrit. No sé per què m'he adormit allà. Suposo que he perdut una mica el focus.
“El vaig agafar d'un tret quan entrava. Però en lloc de mantenir-lo en marxa i seguir empenyent-lo enrere i mantenir-lo en control mantenint-lo al centre de l'anell, Vaig intentar agafar-me amb ell. Estava intentant fer un petit paper de contraatac i atrapar-lo entrant. Em va atrapar.
“És només una experiència. Has de seguir el pla de joc i mantenir-te concentrat, mantenir-se pacient. És possible que no obtingueu tots els trets que voleu al principi, però has de jugar el joc fins i tot i llavors començaran a passar coses.”
Jarrett Hurd
“Volíem prendre el nostre temps amb ell perquè Harrison pot boxejar i moure's. Però cada vegada que lluita es desgasta cap al final.
“Durant la sisena ronda, em va agafar amb un bon xut dins l'ull esquerre. Però vaig aconseguir lluitar i aconseguir la victòria.
“És fantàstic ser campió. Mai abans havia tingut una sensació tan gran. És pur poder d'Accokeek. Per fi puc aixecar-me els pantalons ara. Em van caure els pantalons, però finalment vaig aconseguir el meu cinturó.”
DOMINIC Breazeale
“Vaig trigar una mica a trobar el meu ritme, però al final vaig trobar el meu ritme. Izu va entrar en gran forma i amb les armes enceses. Va venir a mi amb algunes coses que no m'esperava. Com que era el noi més lleuger, realment no esperava el poder que posseïa.
“He pogut connectar alguns grans trets aquesta nit, sobretot amb la mà dreta. Ja veus què passa quan el deixo i mai es va recuperar.
“Després de la derrota davant Joshua, aquesta victòria em torna a posar-hi. Això és el que sempre he demanat. El meu equip fa un treball increïble per aconseguir-me qualsevol lluita que demani, i volia lluitar contra un invicte com l'Izu. Ell és un gran, fort, noi atlètic.
“Aquesta nit, la història tractava que jo tenia el cor de lleó, ser assolit, però tornar de seguida per acabar aquesta lluita.”
Iardes d'Ugonoh
“Esperava que l'anava a noquejar. Vaig creure que ho aconseguiria, però no em va sorprendre amb res. Estava fent bons trets tant al seu cos com a la cara.
“Breazeale, però, va mostrar molt de cor, i crec que la seva experiència li va ajudar molt. Crec que una lluita com Anthony Joshua el va ajudar realment a adonar-se que podia agafar qualsevol cosa i guanyar la lluita. Ho ha fet aquesta nit.
“Honestament, M'acabo de cansar. Li vaig donar el que tenia i després em vaig cansar. Quan va tornar cap a mi, no vaig poder mantenir-me al dia i acabar amb el meu pla de joc.
“El pla era utilitzar realment el meu doble cop, i no em poso cap excusa. Aquest és el joc de lluita. Aquesta va ser una gran oportunitat per a mi, un gran pas endavant, i jo esperava fer-ho. Jo no, però això forma part de l'esport. No estic acostumat a perdre, però avui ha arribat el moment. Encara sóc un home perillós per lluitar.”

Deontay WILDER
“El meu temps lliure m’ha permès tenir una millor relació amb la mà esquerra. Hi ha tantes maneres diferents de llançar un punyet que no pensava que ho pogués fer. Treballar amb un braç em va permetre estar exposat a moltes coses noves. Serà un Wilder de Deontay diferent al ring.
“Ha estat un viatge per a mi. Sé que hi ha un propòsit per a tot això i hi ha una raó per la qual estic aquí i per què sóc el campió. Tot ha manifestat el meu camí.
“Aquesta és una targeta fantàstica en dissabte nit i sé que aquests altres no poden esperar per entrar al ring.
“Dissabte La nit serà una lluita elèctrica. M'encanta el meu estat i m'encanta poder tornar a Alabama. La casa és on és el meu cor. Se sent bé continuar retornant.
“Estic aclaparat. Estic tan a punt per a aquesta lluita. Tothom té una història per explicar. Tot el que ha passat amb els meus oponents és en el passat. Estic enamorat d’aquest esport. Tinc un objectiu per assolir en aquest esport i ho arribaré.
“Sempre em poso a la posició dels meus oponents i penso si era jo. Per això tinc tanta passió per aquest esport i ho dono tot. No vull acabar com els meus oponents. No vull veure com es veuen aquestes llums des de baix.
“Vull que la gent miri enrere el meu llegat i vegi que va ser un llarg viatge. He obert el camí cap a la meva ciutat i el meu estat. He posat les molles de pa i ara la gent pot seguir.
“Quan el meu primer rival va abandonar, El primer nom que em va venir al cap va ser Gerald Washington. Agraeixo la manera com es va dur a terme. Cada vegada que el veia, Sempre em va donar la mà i em va dir que estava a punt.
“Sé que Gerald està emocionat. Jo també ho era. Sé com és poder lluitar per un dels cinturons més prestigiosos del món. Però, És el meu cinturó. Encara ho gaudeixo. Tot i que sóc campió del món pesat, Encara sóc humil. Mantinc el cinturó en el seu cas, Fins que no torni a lluitar de nou. No estic satisfet. Encara queda més per assolir.”
Gerald Washington
“He tingut una cursa increïble per escoltar -me. Agraeixo a Deontay haver -me escollit per aquesta lluita. Podria haver triat molts oponents, Però em va escollir i estic agraït per això.
“Això és un somni fet realitat. Vaig començar a boxa de petit, però no sabia què volia fer. He tingut un llarg camí, Però ara estic aquí lluitant pel campionat de pes pesat del món. Això significa molt per a mi.
“El meu entrenador John Pullman i jo vam començar a treballar junts i hem aconseguit tots els obstacles. És un treball dur, però ens posem junts i ara estem aquí. D’això es tracta la vida. Heu d’arriscar i quan arribi el moment, És el moment de gestionar el vostre negoci. És el meu moment i estic a punt.
“Estic molt content de poder fer el que m'encanta. Vaig a caure contra Deontay Wilder, El bombarder de bronze, en el vostre jardí. No es pot treure el que ha aconseguit. Però estic aquí per gestionar el meu negoci.
“Intento viure com a campió i ara és la meva oportunitat de ser campió. Vaig a aprofitar aquesta oportunitat i aprofitar -la.”
TONY HARRISON
“Com a competidor, Ja estava entusiasmat amb la lluita quan em van trucar per lluitar contra Hurd. Vaig dir que sí immediatament. El nom de Jarett Hurd s'esmenta cada vegada que esmenteu la divisió de 154 lliures. Vaig començar a voler ser el millor i fer -ho, He de superar el millor.
“Va ser una lluita per a mi que vaig saltar immediatament. Quan vaig rebre la trucada que seria una lluita del títol, Sabia que això seria una lluita heretada.
“Crec que tenim respecte mutu en cap a aquesta lluita. Em respecta tant com jo el respecto. Però Dissabte nit, Estic buscant guanyar el meu respecte com a lluitador. Per a tots dos, Crec que s’han plantejat moltes preguntes sobre qui hem lluitat. Aquestes preguntes es responen en dissabte nit.
“Aquesta és una lluita on heu de respectar els dos combatents. La ciutat de Detroit surt a veure'm portar aquest títol mundial a casa i estic segur que Maryland espera el mateix de Hurd. Serà un ambient fantàstic.
“Des del moment que vaig començar als sis anys, Aquest dia ha estat l’olla al final de l’arc de Sant Martí. Estic lluitant contra un gran lluitador per un gran cinturó en una gran classe de pes.
“Només he de sortir -hi i prendre una ronda a la vegada. Crec que tinc massa a l’arsenal. No puc emocionar -me massa, Fins i tot si veig una obertura per aturar la lluita, Ho faré de la manera intel·ligent. Estic en forma per anar -hi 12 rondes però si veig la meva oportunitat, Vaig a prendre-ho.
“Estic buscant continuar el llegat. Serà una lluita increïble. M'encanta Deontay, Però estic buscant robar l’espectacle. Aquesta és la millor divisió de la boxa. Surto fort i sé que el meu oponent també ho és. Tots dos estem disposats a posar -ho tot a la línia d’aquest títol mundial.”
Jarrett Hurd
“Ens vam entusiasmar quan vam aconseguir la lluita amb Tony Harrison i ens vam emocionar encara més quan vam saber que seria per un títol mundial. Aquest és el somni de tots els campions i tinc una gran oportunitat en una gran xarxa. Tothom arriba a veure qui és Jarrett Hurd.
“Això significa tot. Mantenir -se invicte és una cosa que us obre moltes portes. Estic en baralles de qualitat, així que estic fent alguna cosa bé. Tinc un altre gran rival davant meu, però en Febrer 25 Vaig a ser campió del món.
“Vam tenir un camp d’entrenament llarg molt bo. No vaig necessitar fer res massa dràstic per fer pes. Sóc un gran lluitador per a aquesta divisió, però mai he tingut cap problema amb el pes. No puc esperar per entrar al ring.
“El meu pare va néixer a Birmingham, Alabama per poder tenir el meu títol mundial aquí és emocionant per a tota la meva família. Aquesta és una gran baralla per a mi. M’he entrenat fort i m’he preparat.
“Vull que aquesta lluita respongui a moltes preguntes. Hi ha qui diu que no sóc el més ràpid o que no tinc prou defensa. Vull ser un lluitador invicte, però també vull construir un llegat. Vull estar a la plataforma amb el millor. Crec que aquesta lluita em donarà aquesta credibilitat.
“El Jab serà realment important. Tony Harrison té un punyal molt agradable i el guanyador de la batalla de Jab serà victoriós. El meu punyet i eliminar el seu punyal guanyarà la lluita per mi.”
“El meu temps és aquí. Hi haurà un nou campió de 154 lliures en dissabte nit. Els meus pantalons cauen i necessito el cinturó!”
DOMINIC Breazeale
