GERVONTA DAVIS AMERIKAKO TXAPELDUN GAZTEENA & EZ. 1-LIAM WALSH LEHARDUNTZAILEAREN SAILKAPENA MAIATZEN AURRERA 20 MUNDUKO IZENBURUKO BORROKA SHOWTIME®-n

Erantzun

 

NEW YORK – Gervonta Davis, America’s youngest world champion, eta No. 1-ranked challenger Liam Walsh participated in an international media conference call Asteazkenean in advance of their clash for Davis’ IBF Junior Lightweight World Championship on Larunbata, Maiatza 20 on SHOWTIME from Copper Box Arena in London. Davis vs. Walsh is part of a split-site, four-fight SHOWTME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast that begins at 6 p.m. ETA/3 p.m. PT. Ekitaldi nagusian, Gary Russell Jr.. will make his second featherweight title defense and long-awaited homecoming against mandatory challenger Oscar Escandon live from MGM National Harbor just outside of Washington, D.C.

 

Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe and Hall of Fame boxing promoter Frank Warren also joined the call to talk about their fighters.

 

Here is what the principals had to say Asteazkenean:

 

GERVONTA DAVIS

Thoughts on going to London to make his first title defense on foreign soil:

“I believe it was the right business move as far as getting me to the UK in my early career and giving the fans what they want to see. I have a lot of UK fans after the [Jose] Pedraza fight so I think it’s a good change. It’s good for me to fight in the UK. I fought overseas when I was an amateur so now I’m going as a pro and I feel like it’s a great opportunity.

 

“I’m actually excited to fight in the UK. I believe that I will have a crowd over there and I’m excited to put on a show for the UK fans.”

Have you watched Liam Walsh’s tapes? Do you think his style is sort of made to order for a fighter liked you?

"Borrokalari ona da; I can’t take that away from him. He’s my mandatory so I’m taking him seriously. I’ve actually looked at a couple of his fights. Borrokalari duina zuen, but I’m just on another level. My mind, my skills, I’m on another level than what he’s saying and what his fans are saying too.”

 

What has it been like since you won the title?

“It’s been pretty good. I’m actually staying level headed, staying focused. Getting the world title is a step closer to where I want to be. Having a belt is cool, but I’m trying to do more in the sport. I want to be the next star of boxing. I want to do more in the sport. This is just one more step to me.”

 

Do you feel like you need to win by knockout?

“Of course. I can’t rely on his mistakes, he’s capable of going down.”

 

On finishing camp with Floyd Mayweather in Vegas:

“When I got back to Vegas, Floyd Mayweather was hands on more than usual, working with me in the gym late nights. I’m working extra hard. Having him back in the gym gives me that extra push and has my mind on another level.

 

“Having him in my corner makes me feel like I have that chance. I have one of the best in the business backing me. It means a lot. It makes me work harder.”

 

How has your experience growing up in inner-city Baltimore influenced you?

“Just growing up in that inner city, it gave me the hunger I have today. My folks struggled. I knew that when it was time for me to turn pro, it was time for me to help feed my family. I’m ready to do big things in the sport of boxing and outside of the sport.

“I believe I have the youth right now. Right now I’m one of the youngest (munduko txapeldun), and believe I have the youth right now. I believe that as I continue to keep winning and crowning myself, a lot of young kids will look up to me and it will help get them on the right track.”

 

Going into this fight do you think Liam Walsh is your toughest opponent so far?

“I believe so. I’ve fought a world champion. Boladan He. Ez dakit, I have to see when I get in there. On paper he might seem like a tough opponent. I won’t know until I get in there and see what he brings to the table.”

 

Is there pressure to try and make statement against him and knock him out or wait to see if the knockout comes?

“I don’t think I have to make a statement by knocking him out. I would rather beat him in 12 erronda. We’re going to look for the knockout and if it comes, it comes. But I would rather go on 12 erronda ".

 

Would you like to make a prediction?

“I’m coming out on top and keeping my world title.”

 

LIAM WALSH

Can you tell us what you think of Gervonta Davis?

“He certainly has potential and star quality – that was clear to see when he beat [Jose] Pedraz. But he has to come through me first. I don’t see any other way than me winning. If he’s going to be a star in the future, it’s going to have to be with a loss after fighting me.”

 

Are there advantages to fighting at home?

“I thank Frank Warren for that and giving me that advantage. I think it all depends on his mental capacity. He’s coming to a foreign country. Provided that he adapts to the environment and change of scenery, then we’ll find out that night.”

 

You were Pedraza’s mandatory so were you surprised that Gervonta won that fight and in that dominant a fashion?

“I was to be honest with you. My prediction was Pedraza to win on points. I thought Pedraza had all the attributes and tools to get the job done. But then on the night watching the fight, I was surprised by the way Pedraza went about his work. I thought Gervonta looked brilliant and mature beyond his years. I think he put on a really good show but I thought Pedraza could have gone about it a little bit better.”

 

What are your advantages in the fight against Gervonta Davis?

“First and foremost, I don’t think he’s completely overrated, but I think there are still a lot of questions to be asked of him. He looked very good and brilliant against Pedraza. The only other reputable fighter on his record is Cristobal Cruz. There are a lot of question marks lingering on.

 

“I feel like I’ve been in tougher fights than him. I feel like I’ve been in longer fights. I think I have a better boxing IQ than him. He’s very powerful, very physical and very fast, but we haven’t seen him in a long fight or a dog fight or a grueling fight though. I will certainly ask all these questions. I’ll do it any which way that it has to go. I’m more than confident I’ll get the job done.”

 

Is it key to take the fight into later rounds?

“I think possibly, yeah. I think that could be one angle to look at it. We’re not going to really know until the first bell rings. We all have game plans, but good fighters have to adapt. There’s going to be ebbs and flows in this fight, but I think the better fighter will prevail and I think that’s me.”

Boxing is hot in UK, how much of a benefit do you think will that be for you?

“I think it’s definitely beneficial to be fighting at home. I don’t live far from London so I won’t have to leave my house until a couple of days before the fight and obviously my sons will be there in support for me. It’s definitely beneficial. I want us both to get a fair crack and I’m sure it will be. When you’re the home fighter, you feel more obliged to dig a little bit deeper for your home fans who are cheering for you. So that’s what I’ll do.”

What is your prediction for the fight?

“Like 21 previous times, I’ll always predict I’ll win. So that’s what I’ll predict again. One thing is factually certain, I’ll give my absolute all. My prediction is I’ll come away with victory and the belt, whichever which way I have to. I’ll find a way to come away with that belt.”

 

Over here in the U.S., the sentiment is that Gervonta is the favorite in the fight. Do you think you’re the favorite because of the experience that you bring to the ring?

“I don’t think I’m the favorite but I’m not a 3-1 underdog. When I was told that, I thought I must be fighting three people. I’ve never been a 3-1 underdog. I’m a big underdog apparently, but certainly not in my eyes. In my eyes it won’t be a massive shock if I win this title. The U.S. fans think it will be a walk-over, but that couldn’t be more further from the truth. I can understand him being the favorite with all the hype and Mayweather behind him, but I’m baffled by being that much of an underdog. But we’ll find out.”

 

Is there extra motivation in being the underdog?

“Bai, it’s extra motivation. My friends are betting on me and when I win, they’ll have a great night. This is the first time I’ve been the underdog in my pro career, and I’m really enjoying being the underdog. I’m really thriving on it.”

 

LENOARD ELLERBE, Davis’ promoter and Mayweather Promotions CEO:

“This is going to be an unbelievable fight and we are looking forward to promoting our first event on foreign soil. We expect a sold-out crowd and this is going to be a very, oso borroka zirraragarria.

 

“We think this is a wonderful opportunity and a tremendous platform for [Gervonta] to be able to showcase his skills across the world. With him being a young champion I think he has an advantage, and working alongside someone like Floyd, someone who can explain to him what it’s like to go into hostile territory and what to expect coming into a big fight. All those intangibles, along with his hard work and preparation he’s done, I think he has a tremendous advantage and has the perfect team in his corner to get the job done.

 

“We are very comfortable with the judges and we expect a very level playing field. Tank just has to go in there and stay focused and do what he does. I think his skills will speak loud and clear. Liam Walsh is a tremendous fighter and he has a tremendous following and he has been in some good fights.

 

“This is similar to back in 2005 when Floyd went into Atlantic City and beat Arturo Gatti. But this is a little different in that, as Tank mentioned, he has a lot of fans in the UK. I don’t think it’s going to be one-side. Because one thing I do love about the UK fans is that they are very, very knowledgeable boxing fans. They can appreciate skill level and fighters that are really, Benetan ona. Tank has a tremendous social media presence and a tremendous following in the UK. As far as the crowd is concerned, I’m not so sure it’s going to be all Liam Walsh. Tank is going to have a lot of support there. Eta, berriro, when you have the kind of preparation he has had, and you are focused, that’s what it’s going to come down to.

 

“The focus right now is Liam Walsh and Larunbata Gau. As long as Tank stays focused and does what he does, zerua da muga. He has a tremendous team and he’s working with the best promoter in all of boxing. We are really excited about this young man’s career and in our eyes he’s the most exciting fighter in all of boxing. And soon he’s going to be the biggest star in all of boxing.”

FRANK WARREN, Ospearen sustatzailea Aretoan:

“The Copper Box Arena is where they held the boxing for the London Olympics. It’s a fantastic venue with the crowd right on top of the ring. That atmosphere is going to be fantastic and it’s going to be a sellout. This fight is a great opportunity for the American public watching on SHOWTIME, and for those in England, to see a really good quality fight. In some ways this fight reminds me a lot of when Joe Calzaghe fought against Jeff Lacy, who was a big favorite, and Joe took him to school.

 

“I think it’s always best to have the home advantage. You got your fans there and your home support. The British boxing fans are passionate fans, and they are going to get behind their man. Sometimes when you’re away from home, you may not get the best out of you. When you are at home, you have to do your best because those fans are there for you. I much prefer the home advantage and it’s worked well for us in the past, like when we did the fight with Ricky Hatton fight and Kostya Tszyu and he went in as a massive underdog in that fight and he ended up winning. And we’ve done that on numerous occasions. But you have to have a good fighter.

 

“With Liam, he’s been under the radar with some of the problems we’ve mentioned outside the ring. But the fact of the matter is that he’s one of the best British boxers. He’s an excellent fighter. He’s not an old 30, he’s a young 30 urtetik. If Gervonta Davis is going to be what the people think he’s going to be, well then he will be that if he beats Liam Walsh. And to beat Liam Walsh, you have to be something special.

 

“Everyone is looking for the next big thing. Da [Gervonta] overrated? We will find out. I know one thing is for sure, Liam is underrated. And that’s going to be the difference.”

Premier Boxing Champions

NATIONAL HARBOR, Alkain (Maiatza 10, 2017) – Cuban star Rances Barthelemy will look to take one step closer to becoming the first Cuban fighter to win world titles in three weight classes when he battles Kiryl Relikh in a WBA 140-pound title eliminator on Larunbata, Maiatza 20 on SHOWTIME from MGM National Harbor in Maryland.

 

Televised coverage begins on SHOWTIME at 6 p.m. ETA/3 p.m. PT and is headlined by WBC Featherweight World Champion Gary Russell Jr.. defending his title against top challenger Oscar Escandon plus super middleweight contenders Andre Dirrell eta Jose Uzcategui in a matchup for the Interim IBF Super Middleweight World Championship. the telecast Opener In, from Copper Box Arena in London, Gervonta Davis defends his IBF 130-pound world championship against Liam Walsh.

Already a champion at 130 and 135-pounds, a victory over the former title challenger Relikh will put Barthelemy in the mandatory position to face unified 140-pound champion Julius Indongo and do something that no fighter has done in the rich history of Cuban boxing.

 

Here is what Barthelemy had to say from training camp in Las Vegas:

 

1) How is training camp going? How have you benefitted from sparring and training alongside of your brother Leduan and Yordenis Ugas and have their recent performances been an indication of how you expect to perform?

 

“Training camp is going really well. Training alongside of my brother and Yordenis under the tutelage of Ismael Salas is the best thing that could happen in my career. They keep me focused and motivated to get better every day. Yordenis and I have been helping each other during our camps, he’s an Olympic athlete so having him to train with is really beneficial. We have a new strength and conditioning coach as well who has us in the best shape possible. Dakit Maiatza 20 you guys will see the best Rances Barthelemy yet.”

 

2) What would it mean to you to become the first three-division world champion from Cuba?

 

“It would mean the world to me, after all that it took to defect from Cuba, the near death experiences, the imprisonments, leaving my loved ones behind, it would all have been worth it. I want to inspire the youth that come after me as well, let them know to never give up on their dreams no matter the conditions you live in or what the naysayers may say. Me winning a third world title and making history for a Cuban would prove that.”

 

3) What did you take away from Relikh’s loss to Ricky Burns?

 

“I didn’t get to watch the fight but watched the highlights and it seemed like a very entertaining fight. People were saying that it probably should have gone the other way even, so it seems like he put on a good performance.”

4) How would you characterize Relikh’s style and how do you see this fight playing out?

 

“He likes to come forward a lot and attack. I’m prepared for that if that’s what he plans to do come fight night but I also anticipate having to make adjustments. I always prepare to adjust to whatever my opponent brings. Being a cerebral fighter is a skill that has helped me succeed inside the ring.”

5) Can you address your 11-month layoff and how your training has been geared towards shaking off any ring rust you may have?

 

“There will be no ring rust come Maiatza 20 as we have been in the gym non-stop since my last fight against Mickey Bey. We took a few weeks off to visit Cuba for the first time since my defection. Aside from that I made sure to stay active and I’ve been training hard to be prepared when my name got called. The 11-month layoff happened for reasons out of my control. My management team has been trying to get the best opponents and unfortunately it took longer than we expected but we are here now and I’m as prepared as I have ever been.”

 

6) How did you trip back to Cuba come about and what was it like to be back in your home country?

“It was very emotional and a long eight years since I had been back. I didn’t know if I’d be able to go back or not. But I visited the Cuban embassy in Washington D.C. and they told me I’d finally be able to go back to visit my loved ones. It was nothing but nerves until I got over there. It was an emotional time and everyone welcomed me back with open arms in my hometown of Havana. It’s something I will never forget, especially for the way I was received.”

7) How do you rate your skills and progression as a fighter considering your last three dominant wins over top quality opposition? Do you feel that you are at the peak of your career?

 

“I am definitely at my peak physically, and I’m looking to match that on paper this year. I’m looking forward to getting back in the ring. I don’t like to rate myself, I leave that to the people and the media. They’ve taken notice and that’s why I am where I am today, but I am expecting big things to happen this year.”

 

8) Why did you feel it was time to rise in weight, especially considering the wealth of talent at 135 oraintxe? Who do you consider to be the top 135 fighter now that you are gone?

 

“My body was asking for it, 135 was taking too much of a physical toll on me. It may not have been noticeable, but I struggled to make weight during my last fight at 135 and felt I lost some of my power because of the drainage. Since I moved up to 140 I definitely have felt a lot better. It was the right move. Gehiago, I now have the chance to go after a third world title in a third division, which would be the first time for any boxer from Cuba.”

 

9) Why did you make the decision to move from Miami to Las Vegas and how do you think it has benefited you?

“To be honest, there is nothing better for a Cuban than to be living in Miami, because the weather is just right and what we are used to. But at the same time it presents a lot of distractions too. So moving to the boxing hub of the United States is better for me so I don’t get wrapped up in anything extra other than boxing. Gehiago, there are so many sparring partners here and I can go up to Mt. Charleston and get my runs in up there.”

Davis, 22, zailtasunez betetako haurtzaroa gainditu zuen afizionatu oparoa izateko eta profesional gisa ia geldiezina izan da. Amateur bat bezala (arteko 2006-2012), bederatzi txapelketetan parte hartu zuen eta urrezko dominarekin atera zen batean izan ezik. Urrea irabazi zuen bere azken lau txapelketetan, barne 2012 Urrezko Eskularruen Txapelketa Nazionalean 123 kilo.

Otsailean profesional joan zenetik 2013, indartsuak, oldarkorra den southpaw-k aho-apurtu jokatu du gehienetan gainditutako aurkarien aurka, irabazi 13 bere 15 lau txandaren barruan kanporaketak. Askorentzat, Davis gazte baten antza du, Mike Tysonen bertsio txikiagoa etsaiak ibiltzeko moduan, barrura sartzen da eta amu hilgarriak eta uppercuts deskargatzen ditu. Bederatzigarren txandan sartu da behin eta seigarren txandan bitan. Seiko irabazlea kanporaketaz, Davis’ distantziara joateko borroka bakartia bere bederatzigarren irteeran iritsi zen, sei bueltako keinu bat German Meraz-i, bi aldiz jaitsi zena, urrian 2014. Davis ateratzen ari da 0:41, lehen itzuliko KO Mario Maciasi azkena June 3.

Indartsu izan arren, oso azkarra eta erabakia, Talentu handiko Davis jauzi nabarmena ematen ari da klasean eta baliteke ringera sartzea Puerto Ricoko Pedrazaren azpijoko gisa., 27, lehen mailako trebetasunak dituen switch-hitter sendoa, Mugimendu eta zulaketa botere. Pedrazaren hirugarren defentsa izango da IBF 130 kiloko titulua. 12 txandako distantzia lau aldiz jarraian eta bost aldiz egin du otsailean profesional debutatu zuenetik 2011. 5 oin-8½-n, Davis baino bi zentimetro eta erdi altuagoa da.
Davis, IBF-ren zenbakia. 8-super luma pisuan sailkatua, Baltimoren jaio eta bizi dena, Baltimoreko Uptown Boxing Centerreko bere hurrengo borrokari buruzko gogoetak partekatu zituen:

Hiru urte baino gutxiago daramatzazu profesionala, hala ere, bi aste baino gutxiago falta zaizkizu munduko titulu bat lortzeko. Zer iritzi duzu horri buruz?

“Munduko titulu baten alde borrokatzea izan da nire helburua. Oso seguru nago. Bi hilabete baino gehiagoz aritu naiz gimnasioan borroka honetarako. Orduak sartu ditut. Kanpamentu bikaina egin dut sparring handiarekin. Ez naiz harritzen borroka ia hemen egotea. Denbora ezin hobea da niretzat.”

Ezer ezberdin egin al duzu kanpamendu honetan?

“Agian gauza txiki batzuk, baina ez benetan. Entrenamendua serio hartzen dugu. Oso serio hartzen ditugu aurkari guztiak. Baina beste borroka bat bezala tratatu behar dut, beste aurkari baten aurka. Badakigu Pedraza munduko txapelduna dela, borrokatzera datorren borrokalari bikaina eta mundu mailako borrokalari gisa bere errespetua ematen diogu. Badakit prest egongo dela. Beti prest dago bertan sartu eta bere lana egiteko garaia denean. Baina prest nago berarentzat. Ez daki zer ekartzen dugun mahaira.”

Harritzen al zara mesederik ez izatea? Noiz izan zinen azken aldia azpiko bat?

“Azpikoa naiz, munduko txapelduna delako, hori da arrazoia. Bestela, Barruan sentitzen dut ahula dela, baina hori nire balorazioa besterik ez da. Ez dit aurretik ikusi ez dudan ezer erakutsiko.

“Inoiz ez naiz izan borroka batean ahulagoa, beraz, hau lehenengoa da niretzat.”

Noiz izan zen borroka bat galdu zenuen azken aldia?

“Lehiakorra naiz inguruan eta ez zait gustatzen galtzea. Ez naiz zehazki gogoratzen borroka bat galdu nuen azken aldia, agian duela hiru urte izan zen. Ziur dakidan bakarra da nire gogoa borroka honetan sartzea irabaztea dela.”

Kritikak zure lehia mailaz hitz egiten du, edo falta. Zein da azkenaldian Pedrazak arrakastaz defendatu dituen borrokalariei buruz?

“Ez diot ezer kentzen Pedrazari; Stephen Smith eta Edner Cherry irabazi ditu baina mutil horiek ez dute boterea ekartzen, abiadura, egiten ditudan iheskortasuna eta angeluak. Ez dut inor beheragotzen ari, baina batez bestekoak dira.”

Zure gaitasun orokorrak erakusteko aukera gisa ikusten al duzu hau, iraunkortasuna, eta abar?

“Jende asko ez da konturatzen ditudan trebetasun eta talentuaz. Tyson txiki bat edo horrelako norbait bezala sartzen ikusten naute. Baina tresna guztiak ditut. Badakit boxeatzen, nola mugitu nire oinak. Eskuaren abiadura ona dut. Nire angeluak eta horrelakoak lantzen ditut. Soinu borrokalaria naiz orokorrean, boxeolari-puncher bat.

“Boxeorako dei bat izango dela uste dut, ni naizela erakusteko aukera. Baina ez naiz goi mailako mutila izatera etorriko. Superstar bat izan nahi dut eta poza eta entretenimendua ekarri kirolari. Pedrazak nire baitan onena aterako du eta ikuskizuna lapurtuko dut.”

Nola lortzen duzu momentuan geratzea, eta ez atzera begiratu, edo ahal duzu?

“Oso eskertuta nago talde sendo baten parte naizelako, eta hain talde bikaina dudala. Boxeoan talderik onena dugula uste dut. Lurrean mantentzen naute, zentratuta. Distraitzen ez naute. Denok dakigu zein den helburu nagusia. Nik ezin dut dena egin, nire entrenatzaileak ezin du dena egin, nire zuzendariak ezin du dena egin. Talde moduan guztiz sinesten dugu elkarrengan. Esaten duten guztia entzuten dut.”

Zenbatekoa da zure iragana motibazioa, edo da? Zure bizitzari atzera begiratzen diozunean oroitzapenak edo amesgaiztoak dituzu?

“Asko lortu dudala uste dut. Ni gaur bizirik nago, ez naizela kartzelan edo eraztunetik kanpo arazoetan, gogorra da nondik natorren. Baina horrek guztiak lagundu dit egoerak ondo kudeatzen. Oso ohituta nago egoerei aurre egitera. Zaharra naiz eta badakit zer dagoen ondo eta gaizki. Borrokatzen dudanean ez dago inoiz presiorik. Hainbeste borroka irabazi ditut dagoeneko badakit zer egin ringera sartzean.”

Noiztik ezagutzen duzu Floyd? Noiz ezagutu zenuen eta nola deskribatuko zenuke zure harremana? Zer esan nahi du Floydrentzat zure sustatzailea izateak?

“Floydekin hitz egin nuen lehenengo aldian (luzera) Adrien Broner-Shawn Porterfight-en izan zen (June 20, 2015). Ni eta Adrien, lagunak gara eta Las Vegasera eraman ninduen borrokara. Mayweather gimnasioan entrenatu nuen eta Floyd-i gustatzen zitzaidan borrokatzeko modua, nire bihotza. Baina harekin ezagutu eta hitz egin nuen lehen aldia Floyden prentsa-bira bat Washingtonera etorri zenean izan zen., D.C.

“Floydek eragin handia izan du beti nigan eta nire karreran. Haren inguruan hazi nintzen. Guztiok bera bezalakoa izan nahi genuen. Tyson eta Ali ni baino lehenagoko boxeolari belaunaldientzat izan ziren bezala, Floyd gure superstar izan zen. Bere hegopean ekar nazan, haren alde borrokatzeko, sinestezina da.”

DeGale Stonebridge Boxing Club-en lan egin eta hedabideentzako galderei erantzun zien, Estatu Batuetan hirugarren borroka jarraian hurbiltzen ari zela., oraingoan, Erresuma Batura munduko txapeldun bateratu gisa itzultzeko asmoz.

 

Hona hemen DeGale-k esandakoa asteartean:

 

JAMES DEGALE

 

"Hau da onena borrokatzea eta borroka honek mailan onena nor den frogatuko du — eta uste dut planetako pisu ertaineko lehenengoa naizela.

 

«Oraindik arraroak dira horrelako bateratze borrokak, ez dio axola onena onenari borroka egitea, eta biok eta Jackek borroka nahi genuen. Biek frogatu nahi dugu nor den onena eta denek gozatzeko aukera dute Urtarrilaren 14.

 

«Munduko traineru onena dut Jim McDonnell-en; elkarrekin munduko titulua irabazi genuen eta orain titulua bateratuko dugu. Estiloz irabaziko dut eta negozioa egingo dut New York hiri handian eta bi gerrikoekin aterako naiz Londresera itzultzeko..

 

«Jack borrokalari serioa da, munduko txapelduna da, nik nahi dudan zerbait dauka. Honen irabazlea dibisioko zenbakia izango da.

 

«Hazitzen, Joe Calzaghe, eta Naseem Hamed printzea, ikusten nituenak dira eta pentsatuko nuke, «Ezin dut itxaron hori egiteko». Calzaghe da nire borrokalari gogokoenetako bat. Nire antzekoa da. Hegoaldekoa da, punches asko botatzen. Erretiroa hartu arte zor zitzaion kreditu osoa lortu ez zuen beste bat da. Baina hala da boxeoa.

 

«Eman egin behar dut. Nire azken bi emanaldi ez dira vintage James DeGale izan. Hau da onena borrokatzeko onena, txapelduna txapeldunarekin borrokan: hau egokia da.

 

«Ez dut errespetua jasotzen. Historia pixka bat egin nuen. Zatiketa bateratzen badut, urmaela zeharkatuz, Inork ez du halakorik egin Britainia Handik.

 

«Hau da. Maitasuna eta laguntza jasotzen ditut, Nire zaleak ditut, baina egiten dudanaren erdia egin ez duten borrokalari ezberdinei begiratzen diedala iruditzen zait eta askoz ere aintzatespen gehiago lortzen dute.

 

«Ez dut krediturik lortzen: aitortza osoa, Ez dut. Baina borroka honen ostean, jendea errespetatzen hasiko da eta onena naizela jakiten».

Only Puerto Rican-Born World Champions
Enter the Ring in Separate World Title Defenses
Sarrerak salgai egongo Orain!
BROOKLYN (Abendua 8, 2016)-The only two Puerto Rican-born world champions in boxing are set to show their skills and heart for boxing fans in New York as Jose “Sniper” Pedraz eta Amanda “Real Deal” Serrano defend their titles on Larunbata, Urtarrilaren 14 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn and live on SHOWTIME.
“Puerto Rico has such a rich boxing history with many of the sport’s greatest champions hailing from the island,” esan zuen Lou DiBella, DiBella aisialdia presidenteak. “Oraintxe bertan, there are only two Puerto Rican-born world champions, junior lightweight Jose Pedraza and junior featherweight Amanda Serrano, and I happen to promote them both. Urtarrilaren 14 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn is a tremendous card all around, but it will also serve as a celebration of Puerto Rican pride and heritage to be able to watch the country’s only two world champions defend their titles on the same show.”
Pedraz (22-0, 12 Kos) will defend his IBF Super Featherweight World Championship against hard-hitting unbeaten contender Gervonta Davis (16-0, 15 Kos)in the co-main event on SHOWTIME. With his victory in June 2015, Pedraza added his name to the distinguished list of Puerto Rican world champions. After losses suffered by Roman Martinez and McJoe Arroyo, he currently stands as the only remaining male champion born in Puerto Rico.
“Being the only male Puerto Rican-born world champion is something that I’m very proud of,” Said Pedraza. “It is also a big weight that I carry on my shoulders. I know that I have to give my best because I am not just a champion of the ring. I am a champion of my island of Puerto Rico. Knowing that all of Puerto Rico will be in there with me encourages me to give my all every time I step into the ring.
“On Urtarrilaren 14 I will be facing a great boxer with a lot of talent, abiadura eta potentzia. Hala ere, I will let him know what it feels like to share a ring with a real world champion. Davis will enter the ring as a young, hungry unbeaten challenger, but the only thing he will leave with is the first loss on his record.”
Serrano (30-1-1, 23 Kos), a four-division world champion, will defend her WBO Super Bantamweight World Championship against former two-division world champion Yazmin Rivas (35-9-1, 10 Kos) in the SHOWTIME EXTREME main event at 7 p.m. ETA/PT. The winner of the Serrano-Rivas matchup will earn the prestigious WBC Diamond championship. Serrano’s first world title victory in 2011 made her just the third Puerto Rican-born woman to win a world title.
This bout also signifies the first nationally televised women’s world title bout in nearly a decade, since Mary Jo Saunders fought Valerie Mahfood on March 30, 2007 (ESPN2).
“It feels fantastic to be fighting on SHOWTIME for the first time and sharing the stage at Barclays Center with my countryman Jose Pedraza,” Said Serrano. “Knowing that both he and I are currently the only two Puerto Rican-born world champions, gizonezkoa edo emakumezkoa, in boxing today is an honor.
“As for Yazmin Rivas being a tough fight, that’s only on paper. I will prove that I am in a different league. There’s a reason why finding someone to fight me wasn’t easy. I’m the hardest hitting female fighter in boxing today. Rivas will soon know that personally.”
Pedraz, Caguas of, and Serrano, Carolina, are the latest in a long line of world class and beloved Puerto Rican champions who will look to put on impressive performances and make a mark nationally with victories in front of the friendly New York crowd. New York City boasts nearly one million Puerto Rican residents, making it the largest population of Puerto Ricans outside of Puerto Rico.
“I met Amanda Serrano at this year’s Puerto Rican Day Parade in New York,” Said Pedraza. “She is a kind woman and I can see that, as a champion, Serrano is dedicated and always gives her best. I am proud of her for representing our people of Puerto Rico very well. Borroka gauean, Barclays Center will shine with Luz Boricua as Amanda and I seek glory for Puerto Rico together.”
“To be able to defend my world title in Brooklyn, where I live, is a dream come true,” Said Serrano. “New York is home to so many Puerto Ricans and I am sure they will really come out in support of this great event. I am truly a fan of my people. I would like to thank Lou DiBella, the best promoter in boxing, for giving me the chance to show the world why I am the ‘Real Deal’! I would also like to thank SHOWTIME for the opportunity. Mr. Stephen Espinoza, I will not disappoint you.”
The SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast is headlined by a super middleweight world championship unification showdown between Badou Jack (20-1-2, 12 Kos) eta James DeGale (23-1, 14 Kos), Telebistaz estaldura hasieran ekin 9:30 p.m. ETA/6:30 p.m. PT.
