WBO #2 Espinoza Annihilates Vargas in Two Brutal Rounds

 

Mexico’s Ricardo “Hindu” Espinoza (21-2, 18 Kos) made the most of his Telemundo appearance in the main event of “Rumble at the Rock III,” tonight (Il-ġimgħa, Novembru. 30), at Hard Rock Event Center at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla., by destroying previously undefeated Yeison Vargas (17-1, 12 Kos) of Colombia in two rounds

 

 

 

After an uneventful first round, Espinoza impressively opened up and dropped Vargas three times in the second. In the process, Espinoza, the streaking WBO #2 konkorrent, picked up a TKO 2 and the WBO Latino Bantamweight Championship. Having never left his homeland for a fight before, Vargas seemed unprepared for the brutal power of Espinoza’s hooks and right hands. The time was 1:19.

 

 

 

In the 10-round welterweight co-main event, Puerto Rican prospect Derrieck Cuevas (19-0-1, 14 Kos) scored an impressive unanimous 10-round decision over Miami via Barranquilla, Colombia veteran Breidis “Khanqueror” Prescott (31-15, 22 Kos).

 

 

 

Cuevas is a wicked puncher. Prescott was down in round one from a thudding left hook and was saved by the bell from a quick KO loss. What followed over the next nine rounds was a clinic from the surprisingly elusive 24-year-old Cuevas on hitting, hard, and not getting hit back.

 

 

 

Always a warrior, the battle-proven Prescott tried for the entire fight, but simply couldn’t reach Cuevas with anything consequential. Cuevas looks to have the goods to continue to climb the 147-lb ladder into contender status. The scores were not announced.

 

 

 

Popular Miami light heavyweight Ulysses Diaz (7-0, 6 Kos) was too much for Sonora, Mexico’s Fabian Valdez (3-5), as he stopped him in two rounds of a scheduled four. “The Monster” Diaz, a serious crowd favorite in South Florida, clubbed Valdez with his trademarked sledgehammers, sending the hapless Mexican reeling around the ring until the slaughter was mercifully waved off at 49 sekondi. Valdez was down from a body shot in round one.

 

 

 

Miami lightweight Manuel Correa (3-0, 2 Kos) pounded out a brutal unanimous (40-36 x 3) four-round decision over Dustin Arnold (6-2, 1 Kos) of Coral Springs, Florida.

 

 

 

Lacking the power to get the relentlessly energized fists of Correa away from him, Arnold did well to survive the onslaught. His face didn’t feel so lucky though, as he was reduced to a bloody mask during the carnage. Correa is a pitbull worth having another look at. The normally capable Arnold will have to improve his power to compete with savagery of the type that fighters like Correa can generate.

 

 

 

Miami welterweight Livan Navarro (10-0, 6 Kos) scored an entertaining fourth-round knockout (54 sekondi) over Colombian veteran Wilfrido Buelvas (19-11, 13 Kos). The pair of sluggers traded free-swinging haymakers throughout. Buelvas even looked to have hurt Navarro in the second, imma, eventually, Navarro’s superior power took over and that was it for the Colombian from Barranquilla.

 

 

 

Buelvas went down twice in round three and twice more in round four, the final time for the full 10 count.

 

 

 

In an eight-round super featherweight bout, former top-ranked veteran Mike “Machine Gun” Oliver (26-10-1, 8 Kos) of Hartford showed the ravages of time, as he flopped twice and quit in the first round against Miami’s undefeated featherweight Hairon “El Maja” Socarras (20-0-3, 12 Kos). What would have been an entertaining scrap a few years ago was more of a sad exhibition as Oliver dropped from the two punches he caught and elected to quit after the second “knockdown.” The time was 50 sekondi.

 

 

 

All-action Miami featherweight Jessy Cruz (15-7-1, 6 Kos) continued his winning streak with a four-round beatdown of Mexican veteran Isaias Martin Cardona (25-15, 17 Kos). Cardona, a showboating type, was down in round, wieħed, three and four. After the fourth, saner heads prevailed, and he was prevented from coming out for the fifth. The official verdict was a TKO 5 (0:01).

 

 

 

Miami via Cuba’s hard-punching super middleweight Irosvani Duvergel (5-0, 3 Kos) stayed undefeated by making quick work of Miami’s Yendris Rodriguez Valdez (2-3, 2 Kos) by way of TKO 1 (1:46). The exciting Cuban was too strong for Valdez and after going down from a right hand, Valdez’s corner signaled their man’s surrender.

 

 

 

A four-round featherweight contest ended early when Puerto Rico’s Luis “Chucho” Melendez (3-1, 2 Kos) scored a TKO 2 (2:13) over debuting local Jonathan Conde. After a routine first round, Melendez had Conde down three times, the first with a counter left hook and then twice more with big right hands.

 

 

 

In the four-round heavyweight opener between two Miami-based sluggers, Hector “Ready for War” Hodge (3-3, 1 KO) spoiled the pro debut of Jairus Gladney (0-1) by knockout at 1:43 ta 'round tnejn. The pair of big men traded wild shots until Hodge found pay dirt with a southpaw left hand, dropping Gladney. Gladney rose but was in no condition and another roundhouse left finished things.

 

 

 

“Rumble at the Rock III” was presented by Kris Lawrence and The Heavyweight Factory, in association with Tuto Zabala of All Star Boxing.

Kont naf (Khamzayev) kienet iebsa, imma jien wisq għalih. Anke meta pprova jolqotni stajt nibqa’ komdu. U fid-dipartiment tal-grappling ma naħsibx li ħafna nies jistgħu jħammġu miegħi.”

U mbagħad meta pprova jmur ma’ naħa tiegħu dak meta sirt verament aggressiv u spiċċajtu.”

Wara t-tieni rawnd, darba indunajt li x’aktarx ma kontx se nispiċċa (Bernardo), Kont naf li l-għan ewlieni tiegħi kien li nassigura r-rebħa u dak hu li għamilt.”

Il-folja sħiħa tal-bout hija disponibbli HAWN. Hawn x’kellhom xi jgħidu l-ġellieda preżenti u l-eżekuttivi tal-kampjonat nhar il-Ħamis:

DAN MILLER, Head Coach tat-tim ta’ New Jersey

“Ifisser ħafna li tkun kowċ għal Team New Jersey. Huwa l-istat tad-dar tiegħi u huwa avveniment kbir għalih. Inħobb il-kunċett tat-tim u kburi li qiegħed f'din il-pożizzjoni.

“Qegħdin hawn nirrappreżentaw l-istat kollu. Kellna t-tim jitħarreġ flimkien u nibnu kamaraderija. Qisu stil ta’ logħba ta’ lotta fejn kull tim qed jibgħat lin-nies.

“Kulħadd jidher tajjeb u b'saħħtu fil-kamp ta' taħriġ. Naħseb li lesti li mmorru. Dawn il-ġlied kollha se jkunu meraviljużi. Dawn huma mqabbla tajjeb ħafna u għandu jkun lejl divertenti. It-tim Pennsylvania aħjar tkun lest, ghax il-guys taghna huma.”

DANIEL GRACIE, Head Coach tat-Tim Pennsylvania

“Kollox fit-taħriġ kien perfett. Jien ilni naħdem ma 'ħafna minn dawn in-nies għal żmien twil diġà għalhekk bqajna biss dak li ilna naħdmu fuqu. Bil-kunċett tat-tim għandna ħafna aktar nies fuq xiex niffukaw minflok wieħed jew tnejn biss. Diġà kellna kimika tajba għalkemm, allura kollox mexa bla xkiel.

“In-nies tad-dilettanti tagħna li jduru pro se juru li jappartjenu għal dawn il-ġlied. Wasal iż-żmien li taqbad il-attenzjoni. L-ewwel ġlieda tiegħek hija l-aħjar opportunità biex tagħmel impressjoni.

“Naħseb li l-MMA għandha bżonn xi ħaġa ġdida li tista' tiġbed l-attenzjoni tan-nies. Dan huwa ċans kbir biex iġibu l-partitarji li ma jagħtux kas lill-MMA u jagħtuhom iċ-ċans li jidħlu wara t-timijiet lokali tagħhom.”

HANI DARWISH, CEO tal-MMA Pro League

“Il-partitarji għandhom jistennew xi ħaġa kompletament differenti minn dik li huma mdorrijin. L-MMA dejjem kienet sport tat-tim u ninsab kuntenta li se nkunu aħna li nesponu dan lid-dinja. Dawn il-ġuvini dejjem tħarrġu ma’ tim, għax ma tistax tħarreġ waħdek.

“Aħna nemmnu li din se tkun l-era l-ġdida tal-MMA. Se nagħtu lill-bliet u lill-istati madwar id-dinja ċ-ċans li verament joqgħodu wara t-timijiet tagħhom stess.

“Kien hemm ħafna xogħol iebes u ppjanar strateġiku li wassal għal dan u fl-aħħar qed iseħħ. Hija viżjoni li implimentajna u ladarba ksibna n-nies it-tajba konna nafu li kienet tema li emminna fiha tant li ddeċidejna li nwettqu.”

MARK TAFFET, President tal-MMA Pro League

“Se noħolqu wirt f’dan l-isport li se jdum għall-ġenerazzjonijiet li ġejjin. Kelli l-privileġġ li nniedi HBO PPV 30 snin ilu u rajt li ssir ħafna storja. Issa għandi ċ-ċans nerġa’ nagħmel, flimkien ma’ sieħbi Hani Darwish.

“L-ewwel ġlieda tiegħi f'HBO PPV kienet proprju hawn f'Atlantic City għal Evander Holyfield vs. George Foreman. Huwa sinifikanti ħafna għalija li nkun lura hawn f'Atlantic City fil-Hard Rock Hotel ġdida fjamanta & Casino biex ikollok iċ-ċans li toħloq kapitlu ieħor ta 'mumenti kbar.

“Waħda mill-aktar affarijiet importanti għall-MMA Pro League hija li jkun hemm il-kowċis it-tajbin li jmexxu t-timijiet. Dan Miller u Daniel Gracie huma t-tnejn mexxejja naturali, mentors, ex ġellieda kbar u għalliema kbar. Huma jirrappreżentaw dak kollu li rridu nirrappreżentaw mal-MMA Pro League.”

MARK KOLKER (NJ) vs. ZULKARNAIYN KAMCHYBEKOV (PA) – Middleweights

Kolker: “Dan huwa tassew eċċitanti u jien grata ħafna għall-opportunità. Qed nagħmlu xi ħaġa differenti minn dik li qed tagħmel ħaddieħor u naħseb li tista’ tkun xi ħaġa speċjali.

“Naf li għandi avversarju li jista’ jiġġieled u li mhux megħlub bħala dilettanti. Inħoss li għandi l-għodda biex negħlbuh. Kapaċi naqbad, slip u poġġih bogħod ma 'xi ħaġa kmieni. Jew jekk irid imur id-distanza nistgħu nagħmlu hekk ukoll. Nbassar li noqgħod lilu.”

Kamchybekov: “Din hija l-ewwel ġlieda pro tiegħi u ninsab kuntent ħafna li għandi l-opportunità. Ma nafx wisq dwar l-avversarju tiegħi imma se nkun ippreparat. Ħdimt ħafna u ser nuri l-lotta u l-istrajk tiegħi biex nikseb din ir-rebħa.”

GABRIEL RUIZ (NJ) vs. CODY HAWN (PA) – Piż tar-rix

Ruiz: “Iħossu tajjeb li terġa 'lura fil-gaġġa u tħoss l-adrenalina. Qed nittama li nagħti ġlieda kbira lil kulħadd.

“Naf li l-avversarju tiegħi huwa wrestler għalhekk se jipprova jeħodni. Mhux se jrid iqum miegħi, imma jien ippreparat għal ħafna lotta. Qed nipprova nħabbtuh u mmur niekol burger.”

Hawn: “Hija aqwa li tkun parti minn din l-impriża tal-MMA Pro League. Hija opportunità tant kbira u ninsab ferħan li nkun fil-pjan terran.

“L-avversarju tiegħi ħa ftit ħin ta’ mistrieħ imma naf li se jkun lest biex jiġġieled. Mhux qed norqod fuqu. Din se tkun ġlieda ta' azzjoni.”

CLAUDIO LEDESMA (NJ) vs. ANDRE BERNARDO (PA) – Bantamweights

Ledesma: “Huwa tal-biża 'li tkun tista' tirrappreżenta New Jersey. Jien kuntent li għandi din l-opportunità. Din kienet esperjenza kbira s'issa.

“Ma nafx wisq dwar l-avversarju tiegħi. Inħobb niffoka fuq dak li nagħmel u nagħmel aġġustamenti meta jkolli.”

Bernardo: “Kienet triq diffiċli biex nasal fejn jien illum u jien grat li qed niġġieled għall-MMA Pro League.

“Qed niffaċċja ġellied b'esperjenza kbira. Huwa għandu ċinturin iswed fil-jiu-jitsu u huwa ġellied fit-tond. Huwa xorta se jkollu jidħol
hemm u tiġġieledni. Naf li se mmorru l-art eventwalment u nippjana li noħonqu.”

MIKE PAGANO (NJ) vs. ZEDEKIAH MONTANEZ (PA) – Welterweights

Pagano: “Jien kburi li nkun parti minn dan l-ewwel spettaklu tal-MMA Pro League. Ninsab eċċitati li nirrappreżenta l-istat tiegħi fil-gaġġa.

“L-avversarju tiegħi jidher kompost tajjeb ħafna. Huwa jħobb joqgħod lura u jikkaxxa qabel ifittex li jitfa. Kulħadd għandu pjan sakemm tingħata daqqa ta’ ponn f’wiċċ, allura jien se mmur hemmhekk u niġġieled biss.”

Montanez: “Tħossha tassew tajba li tkun f'din il-pożizzjoni. Il-ġlied professjonalment kien ħolma tiegħi u issa qiegħed hawn. Ħdimt ħafna biex nasal għal dan il-mument u ninsab tassew eċċitati.

“Naf li qed niffaċċja wrestler li jħobb jagħmel pressjoni fuqu u jersaq dritt 'il quddiem. Aħna ppreparati għal kull ħaġa li jitfa lejja u jien naddatta ruħi għal kull ħaġa li jitfa lejja. Se tkun gwerra imma għandi biss immur hemmhekk u nkun l-aħjar li nista 'nkun.”

JUSTIN OSBORN (NJ) vs. ANDY JIMENEZ (PA) – Welterweights

Osborn: “Ninsab eċċitati li mmur hemmhekk u nagħmel dak li nħobb nagħmel. Ma nistax nistenna li nidħol f'dik il-gaġġa u nħares lejn raġel li lest li jneħħili rasi.

“Naf li qed niffaċċja dilettant bla telfa li jagħmel id-debutt tiegħu pro u għalhekk lest għal kollox. Jien lest għad-disa' tarzni kollha. Qed inbassar finitura.”

JOSEPH PINAFIEL (PA) vs. TURPAL KHAMZAYEV (NJ) – Bantamweights

Pinafiel: “Ifisser kollox għalija li jkolli din il-pjattaforma. Din hija opportunità biex nibni fuq il-karriera tiegħi. Kelli trattament aqwa hawn. Immur għal kollox is-Sibt.

KEVIN SEARS (NJ) vs. AHMED SAMIR (PA) – Heavyweights

Sears: “Dan ifisser ħafna għalija. Stajt iġġieled fih 10 kampjonati u din kienet l-aqwa esperjenza bil-bosta. L-MMA Pro League jimpurtaha biss mill-ġellieda tagħhom.

“Samir jidher tassew iebes u naf li għandu ħafna esperjenza. Kulħadd huwa perikoluż f'dan il-livell u jieħu biss punch biex tmur torqod. Jien se mmur għall-finitura sa mill-bidu.”

JARRETT HURD UNIFIES THE 154-POUND DIVISION WITH SPLIT DECISION OVER ERISLANDY LARA IN ACTION PACKED FIGHT SATURDAY ON SHOWTIME® FROM HARD ROCK HOTEL & Casino fil Las Vegas

James DeGale Earns Back IBF Super Middleweight World Championship With Unanimous Decision In Rematch With Caleb Truax

 

 

Julian Williams Wins IBF 154-Pound Eliminator with Decision Over Nathaniel Gallimore In SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING®Opener

 

 

 

Ikklikkja HERE Għal Ritratti; Kreditu: Stephanie Trapp / Showtime

 

 

 

 

LAS VEGAS (April 7, 2018) – Jarrett Hurd unified the 154-pound division with a 12-round split-decision victory over Erislandy Lara in an all-action fight Saturday on SHOWTIME before a sold-out crowd of 2,579 at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

 

 

 

 

Hurd (22-0, 15 Kos), who entered as IBF Champion, dethroned WBA Champion in just the seventh unification in division history. The difference in the Fight of the Year candidate was a short left hook that floored Lara in the final minute of the fight. Had the 27-year-old Hurd not scored the knockdown, the fight would have been ruled a majority draw.

 

 

 

 

“It was a tough one, but I went out there and did exactly what I said I was going to do – fight all 12 rounds and get the victory,” Hurd said. “I didn’t feel like that (I needed the knockdown). I feel like I was in control the whole fight, applying the pressure.

 

 

 

 

“I don’t think it had anything to do with age. I think it was me and the game plan we had to apply the pressure.”

 

 

 

 

Following the thrilling bout, SHOWTIME Sports reporter Jim Gray asked Hurd if he’d like to face WBC 154-pound champion Jermell Charlo, who was ringside, to further unify the division.

 

 

 

 

“’Swift’ isn’t ducking anyone,” Hurd responded. “I’m No. 1 issa. We’re calling the shots.”

 

 

 

 

Hurd applied relentless pressure from the opening round, pressing forward against the crafty southpaw. He pounded the body, yet often neglected defense and ate punishing counter shots for 11 rawnds. But the difference for Lara (25-3-2, 14 Kos), who was making the seventh defense of his title, was the brutal 12th round. With blood seeping from a swollen right eye, Hurd connected on a short left hook that floored Lara for the first time in nearly five years.

 

 

 

 

“Besides the last round, I thought I was winning this fight easily,” Lara said. “That’s not to decide the fight. I kien li tirbaħ il-ġlieda. One punch in a fight doesn’t determine the fight.

 

 

 

 

“Kienet ġlieda kbira għall-fannijiet. I stood there, fought and it was fun. I thought I clearly won the fight. Once again a decision goes against me, but h​ey we just have to do the rematch.”

 

 

 

 

Entering the fight, Charlo was the consensus No. 1 fighter at 154-pounds. He stated his case for a chance to unify against Hurd.

 

 

 

 

“I’m down. Let’s go. We want that work,” Charlo told SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING host Brian Custer. “I feel Hurd only took the fight with Lara because he realized the harder fight is with Jermell Charlo.

 

 

 

 

“We’ve been there before with Lara. I know what he possesses. Hurd has to get his defense together because he cannot get hit like that by me. Lara doesn’t move like he used to. If he moves like he used to he wins that fight.”

 

James DeGale earned back the IBF Super Middleweight World Championship with a unanimous decision in a rematch with Caleb Truax, taking back the title he lost last December in the near-universal upset of the year.

 

 

 

 

The 12-round championship affair was scored 117-110 u 114-113 darbtejn. DeGale, who was deducted a point in the 10th for pushing, won the championship rounds – 11 u 12 – on all three judges’ scorecards to win the decision.

 

 

 

 

“Two-time world champion. Iħoss kbir,” DeGale said. “But full credit to Caleb – he shows he can mix it with the top fighters.

 

 

 

 

“I’m just happy that I’m a two time world champion and I got my IBF world title back. Jien lura, Team Chunky, we’re back. Two-and-a-half years I had it and I lost it to Caleb. He embarrassed me, but we’re back.”

 

 

 

 

DeGale (24-2-1, 14 Kos) overcame a massive cut from an accidental head butt in the third, which was mistakenly ruled as the result of a punch from referee Robert Byrd.

 

 

 

 

“I couldn’t see from my right eye, DeGale said. “I like Robert Byrd (referee), but today he was a bit wrong. I couldn’t see. But I’m just glad I got through it. I showed some heart. Fl-aħħar ġlieda tiegħi, I was like a weak little kid.”

 

 

 

 

DeGale connected on 37 percent of his power shots compared to 28 percent for Truax. He now returns to London a world champion with some massive potential fights in the future.

 

 

 

 

“I want to be busy,” DeGale said. “I have a couple years left in this sport.”

 

 

 

 

Truax (29-4-2, 18 Kos), who fought for the first time as a world champion, was disappointed and advocated for a rematch after the scores were announced.

 

 

 

 

“I thought I did enough to win the fight, but I also thought I was pretty flat and didn’t get my shots off like I wanted,” Truax said. “I was just a little bit flat. I felt really good coming in but I just couldn’t get my shots off like the last fight. Hu qatt ma iweġġgħu me, iżda huwa dak li hu.

 

 

 

 

“I gave him a rematch straight away so why not do it again.”

 

 

 

 

In the opening bout of the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING tripleheader, Julian Williams scored a career-best win, defeating Nathaniel Gallimore via majority decision in an IBF Junior Middleweight World Title eliminator. Williams, who edge Gallimore 116-112, 117-110, 114-114, is now in position to challenge Jarrett Hurd.

 

 

 

 

Williams (25-1-1, 15 Kos) set the pace with a strong left jab in the opening rounds of the fight, keeping Gallimore at bay and the action on the outside. That changed around the fifth round as Williams abandoned the jab and the fight moved to the inside. Williams had his best round in the 11th, connecting on a massive left hand that set up a barrage of combos that nearly had Gallimore out on his feet. Gallimore (20-2-1, 17 Kos) survived the round, and Williams wasn’t able the finish him in the 12th, but it was clear Williams deserved the decision.

 

 

 

 

“I wasn’t surprised a judge had a draw,” Williams said. “Sometimes when you’re fighting real close like that, it is hard for judges to score. I knew I won. Once I heard 116-112 u 117-111, I knew I won because I knew he didn’t win eight rounds.

 

 

 

 

“He is a strong fighter, but I knew he was going to do what he did. Start strong early, but I knew he wasn’t strong after six rounds.

 

 

 

 

“The hits to the body was all in the game plan. You have to go to the body in a 12 round fight.”

 

 

 

 

Williams connected on 50 percent of his power shots and landed 37 percent of his total shots.

 

 

 

 

 

“I didn’t really think I won the fight,” Gallimore admitted. “I just let too many early rounds go. I just gave him too many rounds. I had him hurt a couple of times, but he was tough. I should have done more combinations. I will look at the fight and review it, and will make adjustments.”

 

 

 

 

Saturday’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast will replay on Monday at 10 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME.

“Everyone knows I love to fight his style. I’ve fought better and taller fighters than him and you’ve seen me dominate them. It’s going to be nothing different on Saturday night.

 

 

 

“I want him to come forward. That’s what I’m prepared for. I’m going to give him a lessonon Saturday night.

 

 

 

“I have to give Hurd credit for taking the fight. It’s been hard to get fighters in the ring with me. There’s no need to talk because on Saturday we will find out everything we need to know.

 

 

 

“Everyone here talking from Hurd’s team can’t get in the ring with him. It’s different once you’re in the ring with me. You’ve never been in a big fight. We’ll find out what you have Saturday night. Dritt issa, you’re all talk.

 

 

 

“I’m absolutely ready for this fight. This is going to be a great battle for the fans on SHOWTIME. I’m excited to get in the ring and finally unify the decision. I’m preparing to make history.

 

 

 

“I haven’t watched much video on Hurd, but as we saw from the Trout fight, he’s very hittable. Come Saturday night, he better have worked on some defense or it won’t last very long.

 

 

 

“I don’t want to hear anything about Jermell Charlo, because Jarrett Hurd is the one who stepped up. On Sunday, Charlo can sign the contract and we can get ready to rumble.”

 

JARRETT HURD

 

 

 

“Lara has been the longest reigning champion and he was on top when I first turned pro. We’ve studied him a lot. I didn’t get into this sport to be anything but number one. Lara is the top guy, but after Saturday night, it’s going to be me.

 

 

 

 

“It’s been a great training camp. We’re well prepared. This is the fight I’ve been asking for. After I beat Tony Harrison, Erislandy Lara had some words on Twitter for me. So I’ve wanted the fight since then. Somebody has to pay for that.

 

 

 

“This fight is coming at the right time for me because my confidence is very high right now. He’s a little older so I’ll be the younger and fresher fighter. I just feel like it’s my time. I’m going to be relentless. I’m not stopping until I get what I want.

 

 

 

“Lara is a veteran with a lot of experience. He knows how to win rounds and he can make you look bad no matter how good you are. I’m going to use my own awkward style and do what I do best.

 

 

 

“With my power and skill set, I can stop any fighter in the division. That definitely includes Erislandy Lara.

 

 

 

“Lara has great discipline in his game plan. No matter if he’s up on the cards or down or anything, he’s not going to switch it up. It’s hard to break a fighter when they’re disciplined like that. We have a plan for everything though and we’re confident that we’ll come up with something that will get us the victory.

 

 

 

“Lara is a guy who can’t take pressure fighters well. I have some of the best pressure in the game. Jien iżgħar, b'saħħitha, taller and longer. He’s not going to be able to run for 12 rawnds.

 

 

 

“Nobody wanted to fight this guy. I stepped up to the table because I know what I can do. He’s living the ‘American Dream’, but my dream has just begun. Saturday night I’m going to show you why nobody can survive 12 rounds with Jarrett Hurd. There’s a storm coming.”

 

CALEB TRUAX

 

 

 

“I’m honored to be here with these great fighters and back on SHOWTIME. Training camp was perfect for this fight. This is the longest camp I’ve had in my career and the most focused I’ve been.

 

 

 

“I just want to go out there and silence people who said it was a fluke the first time I won. I want to prove that I belong at the top of the division. I’m going to put on a good show for the fans and retain my title.

 

 

 

“We’ve had four months to prepare for James DeGale. Normally I have six to eight weeks, so it was nice to have a drawn out and specific training camp. We really focused on the conditioning and making sure I’m reaching my peak.

 

 

 

“I’ve been through a lot in this sport. I’ve fought top guys in big fights but it finally came together last December. It meant a lot to me and now I’m prepared to put on an even better performance. I know DeGale is going to be hungry so I have to be ready for him.

 

 

 

“I had a great camp this fight. I knew we were going to have a rematch so I was right back in the gym in a couple of weeks. My trainer put together a great plan to help me improve and prepare for what DeGale is going to improve on. I’ll be ready for him to be 100 mija.

 

 

 

“I just want to get to Saturday night and put on another great performance to retain my belt. I’m going to give it my all to bring that belt back home to Minnesota.”

 

JAMES DEGALE

 

 

 

“My last performance was horrendous. It was shocking and embarrassing. I’m not going to make excuses about my shoulder and what went wrong. Nhar is-Sibt bil-lejl, I will be a two-time world champion. I wegħda li.

 

 

 

“I’ve boxed at the top level my whole life and put on some good performances. I know what was wrong with me and why I performed how I did in the first fight. I’m going to put it to rest when I become a world champion again.

 

 

 

“It’s been a long, difficult training camp. I had a gray cloud above my head the last couple of months, but I’m ready to go become a world champion again on Saturday.

 

 

 

“This time has turned me into a beast. I’ve had to take everything even more seriously than before. I might have gotten a bit complacent being a champion those last few years. I’ve locked myself down and I’m ready to go.

 

 

 

“I would say 90 percent of the loss was because of what I didn’t do. I looked past him. I came back too quick from the injury, but he still had to get in there and take my belt. There’s no disrespect to Caleb, but I’ve fought the very best of the division and come out on top. The real James DeGale will be back on Saturday.

 

 

 

“It’s going to be a dominant performance on Saturday. If I don’t beat Truax and beat him easily I can’t get to the level that I want. I know that’s what is coming. No excuses.”

 

JULIAN WILLIAMS

 

 

 

“We had a really good camp. I didn’t want to get into the trash talk this camp. He’s a solid fighter and I don’t underestimate anyone. But he seems like a bully. You can’t bully me. He’s obsessed with me on social media. I just have to focus on what he can do as a fighter.

 

 

 

“He’s a nobody who wants some attention. I’m going to give him lots of attention on Saturday night. I’m going to shut this guy up.

 

 

 

“He’s going to lose every single round and probably get stopped late. Every time he gets pushed he loses, gets a draw or gets knocked down. I’m drowning him in deep waters.

 

 

 

“I’m calm right now but also anxious to show everyone what I have. I know I’m a world class fighter, I just have to go do it. I’m making sure I stay patient right now.

 

 

 

“He lost to a journeyman, got a draw with a journeyman and got dropped by a journeyman. There’s nothing else to say. I’m taking him out on Saturday.”

 

NATHANIEL GALLIMORE

 

 

 

“Saturday night is judgment day and it starts with ‘J-Pebbles’. It’s going to be a night to remember for me.

 

 

 

“It’s going to be a spectacular fight. I’m going to demolish him in grand fashion. He’s never faced anyone like me before. When I touch him, it’s over.

 

 

 

“You better worry about what’s going to happen to you on Saturday night. It’s going to be nasty. This fight is going to show everyone who I am in this division.

 

 

 

“I had the best training camp of my entire career. We covered all the bases. Saturdaynight I’m going to wipe the smile off his face. You think Charlo hits hard? You’re going to see on Saturday night.

 

 

 

“This opportunity is huge. The division is mine for the taking. I study my opponents and I stalk them in the ring. Everyone will see what’s going to happen on Saturday.”

 

LEONARD ELLERBE, CEO ta Promozzjonijiet Mayweather

 

 

 

“This is a great card from top to bottom. We have none other than the longest reigning 154-pound world champion, Erislandy Lara, taking on one of the toughest tests of his career in the very exciting, young and hungry world champion Jarrett Hurd.

 

 

 

“The co-main event is another important fight with a rematch featuring Caleb Truax, who will be looking to hold on to the belt he took from James DeGale last year, while DeGale will look to get back to where he was before they met last December.

 

 

 

“The show opens up with a high-octane 154-pound title eliminator with Julian Williams and Nathaniel Gallimore. This is the fight that could really steal the show. The winner of this fight will no doubt have their eye on the winner of Saturday’s main event.

 

 

 

“These are some of the best fights that can be made in each weight class. We can’t wait for everyone to see these fighters put it all on the line on Saturday night.”
