QUINCY, Missa. (Gener 26, 2022) – Last Saturday night in Detroit, Atlanta middleweight Antonio Todd, Jr. registered his career-defining victory, upsetting World Boxing Council (CMB) No. 10-rated Hugo “The Boss” Centeno, Jr. by way of a 10-round majority decision in the main event.

The 27-year-old Todd, fighting out of Atlanta, won on two of the three judges’ scorecards, 97-93 i 96-94, as the other had it a 95-95 dibuixar. More impressive was Todd defeating a fighter who is under contract to the event promoter, Dmitriy Salita.

“It was the biggest win of my career, fins ara,” Todd said. “It means a lot for my career in terms of taking me to the next level. I feel that I won the fight by unanimous decision and, if he hadn’t started moving around, Jo podria haver-lo aturat. But this is boxing, you need to take chances to be great.

“I want to fight anybody, anybody in the 160-pound division, fighting bigger names on television. Ara estic llest! I think real fighters or those confident in their skills will be the guys who step up. We do have a couple names in mind.”

Todd is promoted by rising New England-based Granite Chin Promotions, owned, and operated by Chris Traietti.

“The way Antonio handled himself throughout the whole process leading up to the Centano fight is a testament to his character and drive,” Traietti commented. “Al principi, the fight was on, then off, then back on again. Llavors, Centeno was over the weight limit. Despite all of this, Antonio and his trainer, Lionel Harris, just stayed focused on the fighting part of all this, leaving the behind-the-scenes stuff to me, and he delivered a career-defining performance. Per 10 rounds he brought pressure, used his world-class jab, and pulled off a beautiful complete win.”
Todd concluded, “I love being promoted by Chris. It’s great being part of his Granite Chin team and him being part of my team.”

Després d'iniciar la boxa a l'edat 13, in honor of his trainer/father Tony who also boxed, Pagan had approximately 90 baralles com amateur, culminating in winning three State Golden Gloves Championships and this year’s USA national Championships in Shreveport, Louisiana.

A smooth boxer with a mean streak, 21-year-old Pagan will make his professional debut on Dissabte, Gener 22, 2022, al Saló de ball Lincoln dels Comunitat Ford & Centre d'Arts Escèniques a Dearborn, Michigan, as Salita Promotions returns for another instalment of their popular “Detroit Brawl” series of professional boxing shows.

“I’ve been part of the amateur boxing game for a while now,” explained Pagan. “It’s time to challenge myself again and start something new. Pro boxing is the same sport, but a different game. I want a new challenge.”

The young phenom will face Steubenville, Ohio’s Glenn Mitchell (3-6, 3 KOs) in a four-round welterweight battle to support the 10-round middleweight main event featuring WBC #9- and WBO #15-ranked middleweight Hugo “The Boss” Centeno Jr.
“I’ve watched some fights of his on YouTube,” revealed Pagan.

“Mitchell is a rugged guy. I can’t overlook him because it only takes on mistake. I’m going in there to get my first win and showcase my skills and show the Detroit fans what I can do.”

A non-stop student of the sport, while working with his father/trainer Tony, Pagan says he’s been sparring more rounds than usual against local professionals and picking up their tricks of the trade to prepare.

“I feel I got a good deal and he seems real straightforward and genuine,” added Pagan about the deal with Salita. “We got hooked up by my good friend Joseph Hicks, who is also fighting on the card. I sent him some of my fights for Dmitriy to watch and he liked what he saw, so he told us to get a hold of him. I want to win a world championship. I’ve always dreamt of being on the big stage and fighting in the big fights. I don’t get nervous in big fights. If anything I get more focused. I’m more than ready and very excited for this new challenge. Estic llest per anar. I’m training hard and I will be in the best shape I’ve ever been in on January 22.”

“He seems like a really down-to-earth guy,” added father Tony. “He seems like a good promoter and we think he’ll help us grow and do what we have to do. Joshua’s greatest strength is that he’s willing to work hard and wants to keep learning. Those are his best assets. He never stops learning and he really loves the sport.”

Promoter Salita, who has enjoyed several successes in his mission to help revive Michigan boxing, says Pagan is a talented new addition to his growing stable.

“Joshua is a young new talent with tremendous potential,” said Salita. “He’s a very hard worker in the gym with exceptional boxing skills. He’s a new prospective star from the state of Michigan and I’m happy to be working with him and his father to help them reach his potential. He has a lot of fans coming out to watch his professional debut, which will be against a tough opponent with nine more fights.”

In the night’s co-main event is power-punching undefeated Detroit middleweight “prospect to watch” Marlon Harrington (5-0, 4 KOs) will appear in a six-rounder vs. TBA.

Featured in separate eight-round battles, each against opponents to be announced, will be the always-exciting top super-featherweight contender Alejandro “Pork Chop” Guerrero (12-2, 9 KOs) of Irving, Texas; as well as Detroit super middleweight Winfred Harris Jr. (20-1-1, 10 KOs); and undefeated Houston-based welterweight Quinton Randall (8-0, 2 KOs).

LOS ANGELES (Febrer 14, 0219) – There was no love lost on Valentine’s Day in Los Angeles as fighters competing on Saturday’s Premier Boxing Champions on FOX and FOX Deportes exchanged words and went face-to-face at the final press conference before their respective showdowns this Saturday night at Microsoft Theater at L.A. Viu.

AMB campió mundial de pes ploma Leo Santa Creu will defend his title against Mexico’s Rafael Rivera in the main event of the show. La cobertura comença a les 8 p.m. ET / 5 PM. PT and will feature an exciting clash between contenders Omar Figueroa iJohn Molina Jr., plus unbeaten prospects Sebastià Fundora i Donnie Marshall anar de peu a peu.

Les entrades per a l'espectacle, que està promogut per TGB Promotions i Ringstar Sports, estan a la venda, and can be purchased at AXS.com.

The event also featured an appearance by former world champion and Southern California fan-favorite Fernando Vargas. Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday from the Conga Room:

LEO SANTA CREU

We were getting ready for Miguel Flores, but in the gym you have to always be ready for any kind of style. We had been already been working with sparring partners who brawl, and that’s what we expect from Rafael Rivera.

I knew immediately that Rivera was a good opponent. He’s young and hungry and that makes him dangerous. He can take punches, so we’re ready for 12 rondes. We’re going to be smart in this fight because we know what Rivera can do.

Seeing my dad going through cancer treatment has been very tough. He motivates me to go to the gym and train hard, because I know if he sees me working hard, it will motivate him as well.

I’m just looking to go out there, give a great fight and help my name continue to grow so that I can fight the best.

I love fighting and training here in Los Angeles. It gives me a chance to be with my family more. When I have them here, it makes me train harder. I do all of this for them and their future.

If I can get this win, we want to unify the belts or make the third fight against Carl Frampton. Sinó, we will go to 130 pounds and seek a title in a new weight class.

RAFAEL RIVERA

I’ve stepped in late before to a big fight. I’m always ready when it comes. Expect a surprise come Saturday night.

I know that I have everything it takes to bring this title back to Tijuana. We’ve trained hard and had these last four weeks to focus in on breaking Leo down.

I’m prepared for anything Leo brings into the ring. Everyone knows he’s very tough and throws a lot of punches, but I believe I am the faster fighter and I can hurt him with counters.

This is the best opportunity I’ve had, going up against a great champion like Leo. I’m ready for fight and a great show for the fans.

OMAR FIGUEROA

Given our styles, there’s no way this is going to go the distance. I think this is going to be an early night and I’m planning on having my hand raised.

The layoff didn’t affect me against Robert Guerrero, so I don’t see why it will affect me now. That’s why I keep my style consistent. The only difference is the character across from me in the ring. This fight will depend on how John wants it to go, because I’m coming to fight.

I’m just looking to get in the ring and take advantage of this opportunity I’ve been given. I’ve made changes that have made my whole game so much easier. It’s a totally different mentality that I have now.

“El camp d'entrenament va ser genial. I’ve made a lot of changes in my lifestyle and I’m dedicated 100 percent to boxing. Things have never been better.

JUAN MOLINA JR.

“És hora de lluitar. The hard work is done and the time is now. Talk is cheap. Dissabte a la nit, we’ll get down.

I’ve been down this road before. I was never given lofty expectations. There’s no pressure here. I think Omar’s style will accommodate mine and make it a fun fight for the fans.

Whenever I fight, it’s going to be exciting. You can say the same thing about Omar. I’m prepared for any version of Omar. Just like any other fight. I can’t wait until Saturday night to get in there and do what I do best.

I’ve put everything into this camp, like I’m sure my opponent has. That’s what we owe to the fans and it’s going to come to fruition Saturday night.

SEBASTIAN FUNDORA

I expect a good fight. He’s an undefeated fighter and I hope to give the fans a great show and walk away victorious.

We’re totally focused on this fight. I just train and everything else is out of the way. I trained hard and I’m going to do my thing like always.

I’m still growing as a fighter. We’re getting better with every camp and every fight. It’s good that we keep fighting quality opponents, because it helps accelerate that process.

Hopefully we’re going to display a lot more boxing and technique in this fight. I think Marshall is going to come inside and attack the body. I think if I’m able to stop him, it will be from the boxing skills that I show.

DONNIE MARSHALL

I’m ready to dominate the fight like I always do. That’s the only thing on my mind. I don’t care about his height, record or anything else. I’m coming to dominate.

I’ve never been concerned with the height of Fundora. We sparred with some good strong southpaws in Florida including Yamaguchi Falcao. Then we went to Las Vegas for the second half of training camp and worked with some top prospects. I’m more than prepared for anything.

Every fight is a make or break fight. I’ve trained against top fighters and been all around the country in different gyms. I’ve only been pro two and a half years. Sóc un jove 30. I’m going to announce myself on Saturday in a big way.

Richard Schaefer, President i conseller delegat de RingStar Sports

This weekend is another example why Los Angeles is such a great fight town. We’re going to have a fantastic crowd at Microsoft Theater at L.A. Live on Saturday night. I think that speaks to the strength of this city as a boxing town, and the strength of this card. This is top to bottom one of the best cards I can remember here in Los Angeles.

The tripleheader on FOX and FOX Deportes has three fights that want to steal the night. We will see which fight and which fighter everyone will be talking about after Saturday. There are definitely some fights on this card that have ‘Fight of the Yearwritten all over them.

We are committed to continuing to bring the best and biggest fights to the fans here in Los Angeles, because Los Angeles is the fight capital of the world again.

The fighters will go face-to-face at a press conference on Thursday that will feature former two-time world champion and Southern California favorite Fernando Vargas. Això és el que els combatents havien de dir dimecres:
 
RAFAEL RIVERA
 
When I got this opportunity, No vaig pensar dues vegades. I was training and ready and I wanted this challenge. I’m here to make the most of it.
 
Like I always say to my fans, be ready for a great fight. I’m looking to make this very exciting and interesting. The belt is coming back with me to Tijuana.
 
“Mai busco el nocaut, but I’ve still been able to get them. Estic a punt, so I hope he’s also ready to give the fans a great fight.
 
This is a big challenge for me. I’m coming for that world title. I want to prove how good I am and become a world champion for my fans in Tijuana.
 
I love to face the best fighters out there. Leo is a fighter who throws a lot of punches. We’ve seen it and we’ve studied it. But I don’t think he’s very fast. I’m faster than he is and I have to take advantage of that. I have to counter him when he comes in and do my job.
 
OMAR FIGUEROA
 
I’m looking to come back strong against Molina. My style is always to go in there for the knockout and give the fans a great show. The sooner we get him out of there, la millor.
 
We know that John Molina is a tough fighter. He’s been in there with some of the best in the world and he’s given them problems. We expect him to bring a great fight.
 
We’ve seen Molina box before and make things difficult for certain fighters. I’m going to try to make the fight my style of fight and we’ll see if he obliges. Once he feels the power, he might choose to box.
 
I don’t think this goes past six rounds. I’m confident about that. We’re going to be ready for anything Molina brings.
 
I’ve been doing a lot of healing physically, mental i espiritualment. I’m looking to show on Saturday that I’ve got everything together.
 
JUAN MOLINA JR.
 
I feel excited and confident. Maybe overconfident, però estic preparat. We did our job in the gym and now we are ready for the fight.
 
I have to expect the best version of Omar Figueroa. He is a smart kid. I don’t know if he is trying to entice me into a war right away. I don’t know what his game plan is, but we will find out on Saturday.
 
Fans need to tune in on FOX and FOX Deportes February 16. This is going to be a war and I believe we’re going to steal the show.
 
This isn’t my first go around against a Joel Diaz-trained fighter. I did it before with Ruslan Provodnikov and now it is my job to beat Figueroa.
 
I am not affected by being considered the underdog. Every one of my fights, fans make money. I think Provodnikov I was 11-1. When you become a veteran in the sport, you stop worrying about stuff like that. Talk is cheap.
 
There is a lot at stake for me. I don’t feel pressure, but there is a lot at stake. Every fight of my career I have something to prove and Saturday is no different.
 
DONNIE MARSHALL
 
This is my first big opportunity and I’m ready to take full advantage. I’m going to show everybody where I’m at.
 
I’m going to take it as it comes in the ring. We have a game plan, but I’m a creator in the ring. I create on the go. I’ll fit in where I can and go with the flow of the fight.
 
The only challenge I see is his height. He’s obviously very tall at six-foot seven-inches. We know what we have to do to break him down. I don’t even really see the height as a challenge, because I spar with heavyweights all the time.
 
“Estic 10-0, but I only started boxing when I was 20, sobre 10 fa anys que. I don’t have the time like young prospects who want to play around, I want to fight any and everybody I can right now.
 
KARLOS BALDERAS
 
I feel excited and anxious to get back in the ring. I’m ready physically and mentally. I know that my opponent won’t be ready for the heat I’m going to throw at him.
 
This year I’m looking to be busy. I want to be back in the ring in April if everything goes well on Saturday. After this fight I’m going to move to Los Angeles and add trainer Roberto Alcazar to my team. He’s had a lot of experience in big fights and I think he’s going to be a great help. I can really understand clearly what he’s trying to teach me.
 
I’m going to show everyone that I’m the real deal once again. I’m going to prove why these fighters can’t make it through a fight with me. This year is all business for me.

LOS ANGELES (Febrer 5, 2019) – AMB campió mundial de pes ploma Leo Santa Creu, one of Los Angelesmost popular boxing stars, hosted a media workout at Fortune Gym in Hollywood Tuesday as he nears his primetime showdown againstRafael Rivera that headlines Premier Boxing Champions on FOX and FOX Deportes Saturday, Febrer 16 al Microsoft Theatre de L.A. Viu a Los Angeles.

Les entrades per a l'espectacle, que està promogut per TGB Promotions i Ringstar Sports, estan a la venda, and can be purchased at AXS.com.

Santa Creu, who was joined by his father and trainer Jose Santa Cruz, showed off the skills that have made him a can’t-miss attraction. Santa Cruz was originally scheduled to face Miguel Flores, but he was replaced by Rivera after Flores suffered an injury in training.

Here is what the workout participants had to say Tuesday in Hollywood:

LEO SANTA CREU

We kept our training camp going despite the change of opponent. We always train the same no matter who the opponent is.

We spar against fighters who have every different kind of style, because the opponent could always bring something new to the ring. My dad tells me to always be prepared for any kind of style. We are ready for whatever the opponent brings into the ring.

I’m always staying in shape whether I’m in the gym training for a fight or not. When they call us and tell us what the fight is, we’re always ready.

I know that Rivera has fought some good opponents like Joseph Diaz and Joet Gonzalez, and he’s gone the distance with them. He’s given them tough battles. He’s shown that he’s a tough fighter who will leave everything in the ring.

This isn’t going to be an easy fight. Rivera is tougher than people have given him credit for in the past. It motivates me to try to be the first to knock him out. If I have the opportunity for it, I’m going for it. Most important though, is to come out of there with the victory.

Sometimes when my dad is having tough days dealing with the cancer, I want to stay at home with him, but he tells me to go to the gym and train hard. So I tell him that we’re going to work hard for him. We both motivate each other.

“(Campió de pes ploma del CMB) Gary Russell Jr.. is the fight that I want. He beat me in the amateurs, but in the pros I get 12 rondes. I think that I can beat him.

JOSE SANTA CREU, El pare de Leo & Entrenador

We didn’t worry too much about the opponent change. I don’t think it makes too much of a difference. Leo is going to be at his best and ready for whoever steps into that ring.

We didn’t let the change effect our routine. We continued the same preparations as always so Leo is ready to fight. We respect every opponent too much to ever fall behind in conditioning.

I think this is going to be a good fight. Leo is always very competitive and any time he can win a fight he knows it will be big for his career.

Leo is 30-years-old right now and I think that he will be retired by 35. He has a lot left to accomplish in this sport and our team is going to keep pushing him to be the best that he can.

Richard Schaefer, President & Director general d'Esports Ringstar

Top to bottom this is just a great card. It’s going to be toe-to-toe action downtown at L.A. Viu. It’s an affordable ticket at $30, and that gives you the chance to see one of the stars of the sport in a slugfest.

Leo Santa Cruz always brings great action and drama when he enters the ring. You have to be on the edge of your seat during a Leo Santa Cruz fight and I expect nothing less next Saturday night. Rafael Rivera has nothing to lose in this fight, and that is the recipe for a tremendous showdown.

Boxing at Microsoft Theater has caught on. That fight in January between Caleb Plant and Jose Uzcategui had a great atmosphere and it is just a beautiful place to watch the fights. Microsoft Theater is becoming the indoor ‘war groundsof boxing.

TOM BROWN, President de Promocions TGB

Rafael Rivera put up a great fight against Joseph Diaz Jr., and he came back against Joet Gonzalez and lost a split-decision, but he really won that fight. Rivera should only have one loss on his record.

Rivera is going into this fight with the same granite chin that he showed everyone against Diaz. He was prepared and ready when the call came for this fight. He’s a great replacement. Leo better be ready and not take him lightly.

BROOKLYN (Abril 22, 2018) – campió mundial en quatre divisions Adrien Broner i campió del món de dues divisions Jessie Vargas va lluitar per un sorteig majoritari de 12 rondes molt entretingut dissabte a la nit a SHOWTIME a l'esdeveniment principal de SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING davant de 13,964 aficionats al Barclays Center de Brooklyn en un esdeveniment presentat per Premier Boxing Champions.

 

 

 

La batalla d'anada i tornada va ser una història d'activitat vs. precisió. Vargas va ser, amb diferència, el lluitador més actiu, llançament 839 cops totals, 300 més que el seu oponent. No obstant això, el cridaner Broner era extremadament precís, de connexió a 44 per cent dels seus trets de poder i 38 per cent del seu total de ponches, en comparació amb només 27 i 24, respectivament, per Vargas.

 

 

 

Broner (33-3-1, 24 KOs) va entrar amb força a la segona meitat de la lluita, recollint la vuitena ronda 10 sobre els tres jutges’ quadres de comandament. La 12º ronda va ser crucial per determinar el sorteig, que va ser anotat 115-113 Broner i 114-114 dues vegades. Els jutges van acordar vuit dels 12 rondes però no es va poder posar d'acord sobre la ronda final, que va ser dictat de manera diferent pels dos jutges que van anotar la lluita amb un empat.

 

 

“Vull donar les gràcies a Jessie Vargas. És dues vegades campió del món per una raó,” Said Broner, que treballava per primera vegada amb Kevin Cunningham com a entrenador principal. “Va venir a lluitar però al final del dia, tots sabeu que el vaig vèncer. Punt en blanc, període.

 

 

 

“Estava connectant amb els drets. Em vaig escalfar a la primera part de la lluita. El meu entrenador ha estat de gran ajuda aquesta nit. Vull donar les gràcies a l'entrenador Cunningham així com al meu entrenador original, Mike Stafford, per adonar-me que necessitava fer alguna cosa diferent.

 

 

 

“M'encantaria tornar a lluitar contra Vargas, però tornem al meu poble per fer-ho.”

 

 

 

Vargas (28-2-1, 10 KOs) va treballar fora del jab i va ser increïblement efectiu amb els seus trets al cos només en la seva segona lluita amb l'entrenador i excampió del món Mike “El llastrador de cos” McCallum.

 

 

 

“Vaig pensar que vaig guanyar la lluita,” va dir Vargas. “Al final del dia no puc discutir perquè estava lluitant a l'interior del ring, així que no sé què vas veure des de fora.. Estava donant cops nets. Va ser una bona lluita, però al final no puc qüestionar la decisió.

 

 

 

“Ha d'haver estat una lluita estreta perquè els jutges l'haguessin anotat com ho van fer. Vaig sentir que vaig guanyar la lluita i vaig pujar dues rondes. Confio en els jutges per prendre la decisió correcta.”

 

 

 

Excampió de 154 lliures Jermall Charlo va enviar una declaració a la divisió de pes mitjà a l'esdeveniment co-principal, eliminant un rival que havia estat derrotat anteriorment Hugo Centeno Jr. per capturar el títol interí de 160 lliures WBC. VIDEO:https://s.sho.com/2vxBnDM

 

 

 

Charlo és ara el obligatori per a Gennady “GGG” Golovkin i no es va defugir de cridar el WBC, Campió del món de pes mitjà WBA i IBF.

 

 

 

“Ha estat un viatge increïble arribar fins aquí,” Said Charlo, el germà bessó del campió de 154 lliures del CMB Jermell Charlo. “Sóc dues vegades campió del món. Porta 'GGG.’ Vull aquesta baralla. Estic 27-0 amb 21 nocauts. Tothom ho veu. Què més puc dir?”

 

 

 

Charlo (27-0, 21 KOs) va demostrar que el seu poder es tradueix en pes mitjà, ja que va eliminar al seu segon oponent des que va renunciar al seu títol i va passar a 160 lliura. El nadiu de Houston ara ha guanyat per nocaut en cinc dels seus sis combats des que es va convertir inicialment en campió 2015. Una sèrie de tirs va obrir un enorme ganxo d'esquerra en el primer minut de la segona ronda, paviment Centeno (26-2, 14 KOs), que no va aconseguir superar el compte de 10 i va ser comptat a :55.

 

 

 

“Tothom m'ha evitat sempre i a partir d'ara, així serà com serà,” Said Charlo. “Ja veus el que aconsegueixes.”

 

 

 

Seguint la lluita, Centeno era conscient dels errors que van provocar la derrota.

 

 

 

“Vaig pensar que vaig començar força bé. Volia sortir al meu escut però no era el meu dia,” va dir Centeno. “Em va agafar i va aconseguir el nocaut. Estava intentant treballar el meu jab. Vaig pensar que el vaig aconseguir amb un parell de bons tirs, però em vaig quedar massa temps a la butxaca i no vaig sortir a temps.”

 

 

 

A la primera baralla de la transmissió per televisió, Gervonta Davis es va convertir en dos cops campió del món de manera empàtica amb una tercera ronda de nocaut técnico de l'antic campió Jesús Cuellar per capturar el Campionat del Món vacant de 130 lliures de l'AMB. VIDEO: https://s.sho.com/2vusWsW

 

 

 

L'invicte Davis (20-0, 19 KOs), que va perdre el títol de l'IBF de 130 lliures a la balança l'agost passat, va anotar tres derrocaments en menys de tres rondes per guanyar el seu segon títol a la divisió de pes súper ploma. El jove de 23 anys va connectar 49 per cent dels seus cops de poder en el seu primer combat amb el nou entrenador Kevin Cunningham.

 

 

 

“A la fitxa de la baralla Mayweather-McGregor, Simplement no estava concentrat,” va dir Davis. “Va ser la segona vegada que lluitava amb la targeta de Mayweather, així que em va arribar al cap i es va veure. Després de la baralla, Vaig anar a casa i vaig parlar amb el meu equip i vam decidir que era hora de marxar de Baltimore. Estic concentrat i es va demostrar perquè torno a ser campió.

 

 

 

“Sempre hi ha cops al camí quan vols tenir èxit. Es tracta de com et recuperes i aquesta nit he demostrat que sóc un veritable campió.”

 

 

 

Davis va utilitzar una combinació de trets corporals, uppercuts i eficaç contrapunxada per trencar Cuellar, un antic titular de 126 lliures. Davis de Baltimore va colpejar Cuellar amb un cop al cos a la segona ronda i no va cedir a partir d'aquí. El zurdo va avançar a la tercera, perseguint Cuellar contra les cordes i enviant-lo avall per segona vegada amb una sèrie de combinacions. Cuellar (28-3, 21 KOs) es va aixecar, però va tenir greus problemes i l'àrbitre Benjy Esteves va intervenir per aturar el partit a 2:45 amb l'argentí caient a la lona per tercera vegada.

 

 

 

“El pla de joc era boxejar una mica i obrir-lo amb alguns trets,” va dir Davis. “Quan va ser l'hora, Vaig avançar i el vaig agafar amb prou trets per treure'l.

 

 

 

“Vull tornar el cinturó de l'IBF i estic preparat per unificar-lo amb qui guanyi [Tevin] Pagès vs. [Porra] Dib lluita.”

 

 

 

A l'emissió de dissabte, es va anunciar que Errol Spence Jr. farà la segona defensa del seu campionat mundial de pes welter de la FIB contra el desafiador obligatori invicte Carlos Ocampo al juny 16 a SHOWTIME en una baralla de tornada a Dallas.

 

 

 

El triple header de SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING de dissabte es repetirà dilluns a 10 p.m. ET / PT a SHOWTIME EXTREME.

Això és el que els participants de la conferència de premsa van dir dijous des del Barclays Center de Brooklyn:

 

Adrien Broner

 

 

 

 

 

“Estic preparat per lluitar. No em preocupa Jessie. Aquesta és una lluita molt important per a la meva carrera. Sé que Jessie es va entrenar dur per vèncer-me. Aquesta és una victòria que ens pot portar a qualsevol de nosaltres al següent nivell. Estic a punt per lluitar ara mateix i per aconseguir-ho.

 

 

 

 

“Quan va fer un pas i va lluitar contra Tim Bradley i Manny Pacquiao, va perdre. Sóc quatre vegades campió del món, així que no vull saber res de les meves pèrdues. Jessie Vargas no és tan bona com els nois amb qui vaig perdre.

 

 

 

 

“Espero obtenir crèdit quan hagi vençut a Jessie Vargas. Espero obtenir el crèdit que em mereixo. La gent vol que perdi i me'n vagi, però endevineu què? Vaig treballar més que mai per aquesta lluita. No estic perdent davant Jessie Vargas. Sóc quatre vegades campió del món i aviat seré cinc vegades campió del món aquest any.

 

 

 

 

“Encara sóc un dels millors lluitadors d'aquesta època. Quan acabi la meva carrera, Seré un dels millors a lligar un parell de guants de boxa. No puc esperar per donar a tothom alguna cosa per recordar dissabte.

 

 

 

 

“Estar amb Kevin Cunningham al campament va canviar molt. Va trigar una estona a acostumar-s'hi. Aquest és el primer campament que faig des que era petit amb un nou entrenador. No hi havia distraccions al campament. Tot era feina, cap joc.

 

 

 

 

“Estic a un nivell diferent que ell. Ho demostraré dissabte. No em preocupa res de la negativitat que envolta el meu nom. Estic a punt per anar a fer un espectacle.

 

 

 

 

 

“Enguany em faig càrrec. Tot comença amb Jessie Vargas dissabte a la nit. Vaig a ser jo mateix, i fer un gran espectacle.”

 

JESSIE VARGAS

 

 

 

 

“Tot al camp d'entrenament ha anat fantàstic. No puc esperar per aquesta baralla. Això no és un joc. Estic aquí per guanyar i penso fer-ho. Això serà acció.

 

 

 

 

“He vist els errors que Broner ha comès en el passat. He de sortir i preocupar-me pel meu rendiment. Sóc versàtil i faré el que hagi de fer. Tots dos som antics campions del món, però al final del dia només hi haurà un guanyador, i seré jo.

 

 

 

 

“Crec que tinc un avantatge sent el lluitador més alt i fort. Sóc un pes welter adult. Estic preparat per a la victòria.

 

 

 

 

“Tots dos aportem experiència i tots dos som nois amb talent. Sens dubte, oferirem entreteniment als aficionats dissabte a la nit. Estic en una gran part de la meva carrera perquè no he rebut tant de càstig. Sóc campió del món de dues divisions per una raó.

 

 

 

 

 

“El meu pes ha estat en aquest campament. La meva nutricionista ha fet una gran feina i demà seré perfecte a l'escala. Tot el meu equip ha estat perfecte i us portarà a la millor Jessie Vargas que heu vist mai dissabte..

 

 

 

 

 

“Dissabte a la nit serà un gran espectacle. És una gran carta i després l'esdeveniment principal serà tots els focs artificials. Vine i gaudeix d'una gran nit de boxa i veu'm guanyar la victòria.”

 

Charlo JERMALL

 

 

 

 

“Vull fer una declaració dissabte a la nit. He estat entrenant dur des de la meva última lluita. Vaig prometre als meus fans alguna cosa que recordaran d'aquesta lluita. Haureu d'esperar i veureu.

 

 

 

 

 

“Un cop em passos davant meu, és una baralla. Cada cop poso la meva vida en perill. Només estic esperant coses encara més grans que tinc al davant. Dono als aficionats alguna cosa especial per emportar-se a casa de la meva actuació.

 

 

 

 

“Em sento molt bé ara mateix. Va ser un altre d'aquells campaments que vaig poder començar aviat i entrar aviat al gimnàs. Puc fer el que necessitis al ring. Estic preparat per fer d'aquesta lluita tot focs artificials.

 

 

 

 

 

“Faig moltes coses bones al campament per fer-me sentir més fort. Va ser una mica dur amb el retard, però res que no hagi pogut treballar. Estic en pes ara mateix tan lluny. Tinc un gran equip que m'ha ajudat a arribar-hi.

 

 

 

 

 

“Estic centrat en el que estic passant. Hugo creu que l'estic passant per alt, però això no passa gens. Vull treure'l i fer una declaració que estic preparat per als grans noms de la divisió.

 

 

 

 

 

“Anem a aixecar Brooklyn. Realment vull fer una declaració. No importa com em senti durant tota la lluita, ho farem rock.”

 

HUGO CENTENO JR.

 

“Tinc la sensació que se m'està passant per alt. No he estat capaç de fer-me un nom familiar en estar en aquestes plataformes. Vinga l'abril 21, Vaig a donar a conèixer el meu nom.

 

 

 

 

“La lesió a la costella va ser difícil de suportar al principi. Estàvem molt a prop del final, però un cop vaig reprendre l'entrenament, Jo ja estava en condicions fenomenals. Em va portar a un altre nivell i ara estic en les millors condicions de la meva vida.

 

 

 

 

“Em sento perfecte ara mateix dirigint-me a aquesta lluita. Vam tenir un gran sparring al campament i estic preparat per entrar al ring.

 

 

 

 

 

“Fins i tot estar en aquesta posició demostra a la gent que m'he guanyat el camí fins aquí. Ningú m'ha lliurat res. Aquesta és una de les divisions més difícils del món i sóc aquí per una raó. Aquesta baralla significa el món per a mi. Ha sigut 20 anys d'esforç reunint-se dissabte.

 

 

 

 

“Sé que Charlo ve a lluitar, i definitivament vinc a lluitar. No importa quina sigui l'estratègia o l'estil, Estaré preparat per a qualsevol cosa que se'm vegi.

 

 

 

 

“Espero que surti fort. Sabem que està buscant un nocaut. Però crec que si no té l'oportunitat, es reduirà a qui és el lluitador més intel·ligent.”

 

GERVONTA DAVIS

 

 

 

 

 

“Dissabte a la nit podeu esperar una lluita plena d'acció. Sé que Cuéllar vindrà a lluitar. Definitivament vinc a lluitar. Estic preparat per reprendre on ho vaig deixar, de nou com a campió.

 

 

 

 

 

“Vaig tenir moltes distraccions el darrer campament que em van fer perdre pes. A partir d'aquell dia em vaig centrar a tornar a un títol mundial. Vaig decepcionar la gent quan vaig perdre el títol a l'escala, però ara estic més concentrat.

 

 

 

 

 

“Va ser fantàstic estar al campament a Florida en comptes de tornar a casa a Baltimore. D'aquesta manera, només em preocupa la boxa cada dia. Estic menjant bé i realment just 100 per cent centrat en la boxa. Va ser una gran jugada i es veurà dissabte.

 

 

 

 

 

“Tinc les habilitats i el carisma per estar al capdavant de l'esport. Només necessito els oponents adequats, però no ho vaig a pressa. He de prendre decisions intel·ligents en aquest esport per arribar on vull. Vull continuar fent grans actuacions.

 

 

 

 

 

“Crec que aquesta lluita em tornarà a situar al mapa com una de les estrelles en ascens més joves de la boxa. Crec que tinc les habilitats per fer-ho.

 

 

 

 

 

“He estat entrenant molt amb l'Adrien al campament. Ens hem estat empenyent els uns als altres i només vull poder mirar enrere aquesta lluita i poder dir que aquesta va ser una de les meves millors actuacions. Vull demostrar que tinc les habilitats i la capacitat per fer-me càrrec de l'esport de la boxa.”

 

JESUS ​​CUELLAR

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Entenc que Davis és un gran oponent, però dins del ring, només serem nosaltres dos, anar de peu a peu. Sé que serà una gran lluita.

 

 

 

 

 

“Tot això serà acció. Espereu veure una guerra amb mi aixecant la mà al final de la nit. Faré el que calgui.

 

 

 

 

 

“El pla és sortir allà i guanyar aquest cinturó. Hem tingut un gran entrenament i entrenament per aconseguir-nos aquesta posició. Els meus entrenadors van treballar molt dur per preparar-me.

 

 

 

 

 

“Aquesta baralla és molt important per a mi. Vull ser campió del món de dues divisions i tinc l'oportunitat que esperava dissabte a la nit.

 

 

 

 

 

“Crec que vaig prendre la decisió correcta per allunyar-me de la boxa. Ara he tornat més fort que mai. Em sento molt bé i tothom ho veurà dissabte a la nit.

 

 

 

 

 

“Tenim un pla de joc i ho farem. Seré agressiu com sempre, però també mostrar algunes coses noves que he treballat.

 

 

 

 

“Estic llest per anar 12 rondes si és necessari, però si tinc l'oportunitat d'hora per a un nocaut, Vaig a prendre-ho. Estic aquí per donar-ho tot i guanyar aquesta lluita, això és tot.”

 

HEATHER HARDY

 

 

 

 

 

“Realment no hi ha res com lluitar a casa. Tan emocionant com era estar a la gàbia, això és com estar al meu pati del darrere.

 

 

 

 

 

“Sempre és un somni boxejar al Barclays Center i no hi ha res com estar aquí davant la meva gent. Espero que el meu oponent hagi entrenat dur perquè estic preparat per barallar-me.

 

 

 

 

 

“Estic molt emocionat de tornar a treballar en les meves habilitats de boxa. No puc esperar per oferir als meus fans un gran espectacle. Saben que sempre ho dono tot i ho deixo al ring. Donaré als meus fans el valor dels seus diners.”

 

LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO de Mayweather Promotions

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Dissabte a la nit tenim la carta de boxa més gran i dolenta de tot l'esport. Serà un gran esdeveniment aquí davant dels apassionats fans de la boxa de Brooklyn.

 

 

 

 

 

“L'esdeveniment principal té el campió de quatre divisions Broner enfrontant-se al campió de dues divisions Vargas, en una lluita que significa molt per als dos lluitadors.

 

 

 

 

 

 

“A més, Jermall Charlo s'enfrontarà a Hugo Centeno en una gran lluita de pes mitjà per mirar d'establir-se com a contendents a la classe de pes mitjà amb estrelles..

 

 

 

 

 

“L'iniciador de la nostra retransmissió tindrà una superestrella en ascens de la boxa a Gervonta Davis, lluitant contra l'antic campió del món Jesús Cuéllar en una entretinguda lluita pel títol mundial. Això és el que es tracta la boxa. És molt bo la boxa aquí a Brooklyn.”

 

Lou DiBella, El president de DiBella Entertainment

 

 

 

 

 

“Aquesta és una gran carta de lluita. Per això es venen entrades. Hi ha moltes estrelles emergents en aquesta tarima. Va ser creat per ser una gran boxa televisiva, i per això dissabte tindrem una sala plena.

 

 

 

 

 

“Barclays Center és realment la llar de la boxa de grans dimensions. Aquest és el lloc amb més dedicació a un programa habitual de boxa i ho veus amb les grans baralles que vénen aquí mes rere mes.

 

 

 

 

 

“Aquesta targeta s'apila de dalt a baix. La targeta de fons fora de la televisió és sensacional i compta amb un munt de talent invicte. Heather Hardy tornarà després de dos partits consecutius a la gàbia per tornar al ring en aquest programa. Estem aquí per oferir als fans el millor que podem durant tota la nit.

 

 

 

 

 

“El primer combat televisat de la nit té Gervonta Davis, una de les joves estrelles emergents de l'esport, va pel seu segon títol mundial. Està lluitant contra un antic campió del món a Jesús Cuéllar, que és un noi consumat per dret propi. Gervonta té les mans plenes, però dissabte tindrà molts fans de Maryland que li donen suport.

 

 

 

 

 

“Hi ha molta acció i polèmica a la divisió de pes mitjà. Jermall Charlo podria ser el punxador més dur d'aquesta divisió. Ell i el seu germà podrien ser ja els bessons més aconseguits de la història de la boxa. Té un enfrontament difícil perquè Hugo Centeno Jr. també és un jove lluitador fantàstic amb poder i una gran capacitat de boxa. Té potencial estrella si aconsegueix superar aquest obstacle contra Charlo.

 

 

 

 

 

“Adrien Broner és un boxejador molt hàbil, que té poder d'estrelles i crida molt l'atenció. No has de ser estimat per tothom, has de que la gent vulgui veure't. Molta gent vol veure a Adrien Broner. El veuran en una dura lluita dissabte a la nit. Jessie Vargas ja és dues vegades campiona del món, que ha tingut una carrera fantàstica i, sens dubte, serà el noi més gran i fort dissabte. L'Adrien sap que tot està en joc el dissabte a la nit.”

 

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, President Esports & Programació d'esdeveniments, Showtime Sports Inc.

 

 

 

 

 

“SHOWTIME La boxa es troba enmig d'una carrera sense precedents. Ha estat una lluita significativa rere una lluita significativa.

 

 

 

 

 

“Al gener vam fer un anunci sense precedents 11 esdeveniments d'aquesta primera part de l'any. No estic segur que cap xarxa hagi fet tants esdeveniments aquest any.

 

 

 

 

 

“Barclays Center, com SHOWTIME, s'ha convertit en la llar de les baralles més significatives de l'esport. Això no passa per casualitat. Aquesta és una estratègia intencionada. És un pla per promoure i elevar l'esport i el seu’ lluitadors a altures que no hem vist abans. Hem fet un esforç real per elevar aquest esport.

 

 

 

 

 

“La targeta apilada de dissabte té tres enfrontaments imprescindibles. Aquests són lluitadors estrella contra batalles d'estrelles. No hi ha "no-noms".’ en això. Els sis lluitadors d'aquí tenen lluites encapçalades. Aquestes baralles són tan bones com qualsevol carta que recordi.”

 

BRETT Yormark, CEO de Brooklyn Sports & Entreteniment

 

 

 

 

 

“Estic emocionat amb les baralles de dissabte a la nit. Està ple de dalt a baix i hauria de ser una gran nit de BROOKLYN BOXING. És un gran tripleheader i en molts aspectes això defineix la boxa de Brooklyn. Lluites igualades, les estrelles més grans de l'esport, alguns establerts i altres en augment. Tens una mica de tot aquest cap de setmana

 

 

 

 

 

“Estem molt emocionats de tenir Heather Hardy de tornada al Barclays Center dissabte després d'algunes baralles a MMA.. És boxejadora i no podem esperar a tenir-la aquí aquest cap de setmana.

 

 

 

 

 

“Moltes gràcies a tots els que han ajudat a establir BROOKLYN BOXING i han estat socis amb nosaltres aquí a Brooklyn. Tots els implicats continuen augmentant l'esport i us esperem dissabte a la nit. Les entrades es mouen i aquesta podria ser una de les baralles més grans que hem tingut mai al Barclays Center.”
