Hápunktur vídeós með höggi: https://s.sho.com/2URYn8t

Davis frá Baltimore (21-0, 20 Kos) skráði áttundu rothögg sitt á ferlinum í fyrstu lotu þar sem Jack Reiss dómari hætti bardaganum þegar ein sekúnda var eftir af fyrstu lotu eftir hrikalega sópa hægri krók sem Davis tengdi hreint og sendi Ruiz. (39-5, 32 Kos) niður á hnén.

Davis, sem kom inn í hringinn í "Thriller" eftir Michael Jackson, sóaði litlum tíma í að sýna hvers vegna hann er ein af upprennandi ofurstjörnum í hnefaleikum með glæsilegum fjórða sigri sínum í heimsmeistaratitlabardaga. Hinn 24 ára gamli Davis er yngsti bandaríski heimsmeistaratitillinn í hnefaleikum og var í fyrsta skipti í aðalhlutverki..

Með verkefnisstjóra sínum Floyd Mayweather að horfa á, Davis gerði snögga vinnu úr andstæðingi sínum sem kom seint af hólmi. „Ég vissi að það væri að koma,"Sagði hann. „Mig langaði að fara fleiri hringi, en ég vissi að ef ég færi hann þaðan snemma gæti ég barist aftur fyrr. Þegar ég snerti stöngina sá ég að handleggurinn hans var fyrir andlitið á honum þannig að ef ég kastaði krók eða uppskurði þá var það rétt í takt.“

Davis, sem hefur nú hætt sínu síðasta 12 andstæðingar, tengdur á 50 prósent af orku högg hans, rétt undir 51 prósenta aflsnákvæmni sem hann skráði í síðustu fjórum bardögum sínum.

Hinn 32 ára gamli varamaður Ruiz var að berjast í annað skiptið á þremur vikum þegar hann kom í stað Abner Mares sem er meiddur.. Ruiz var vanur að vera hinum megin við rothögg í fyrstu lotu eftir að hafa tekið upp 18 hans eigin á ferlinum.

“Um leið og hann byrjaði að lenda höggum, Ég fann fyrir þeim,"Ruiz sagði. „Ég á mikið af rothögg í fyrstu umferð, í dag kom röðin að mér að tapa í fyrstu umferð. Það gerist í hnefaleikum."

Næstur fyrir Davis gæti verið sigurvegari mars 2 Ricardo Nunez-Edner Cherry WBA Eliminator á SHOWTIME frá Barclays Center. „Við gætum gert það,“ sagði Davis. „Í lok dagsins er ég bardagamaður. Ég er bardagamaður og er með frábært lið. Einn sá besti í íþróttinni. Ég trúi á liðið mitt og hvað sem það stillir upp, Ég er tilbúinn.

Davis sagði Jim Gray blaðamanni SHOWTIME að hann væri tilbúinn fyrir ljúfa heimkomu fyrir næsta bardaga sinn. „Já, herra. Við erum að koma til Baltimore. Við förum heim, elskan.”

Í samstarfi lögun, Mario Barrios (23-0, 14 Kos) sló út sinn sjöunda andstæðing í röð þegar hinn 23 ára gamli frá San Antonio stöðvaði Richard Zamora frá Mexíkó. (15-3, 10 Kos). The stöðvun kom á 2:16 í fjórðu lotu þegar Ray Corona dómari veifaði bardaganum eftir bardaga Barrios sem lenti hreint og þrumaði leikinn Zamora.

Með þekkta þjálfaða Virgil Hunter í horni sínu, hinn nákvæmi Barrios lenti yfirþyrmandi 59 prósent af orku högg hans, Ásamt 37 af 58 (64 prósent) í fjórðu og síðustu umferð.

„Hann var alls ekki auðvelt skotmark,“ sagði Barrios, sem spjallaði við Amir Khan og Devin Haney í æfingabúðum og er WBA nr. 1 sæti bardagamaður kl 140 £. Við notuðum bara allt sem við unnum að í búðunum til að finna svið mitt."

hann bætti: „Þetta var ótrúlegur bardagi. Ég ber hattinn fyrir Zamora - hann er helvítis stríðsmaður. Ég óska ​​honum einskis nema alls hins besta á ferlinum. Eins og hann sagði á blaðamannafundinum, hann vildi stríð og ég færði honum það. Fullkomin virðing fyrir honum."

Zamora var að þreyta frumraun sína í Bandaríkjunum. „Ég kom til að berjast,"Sagði hann. „Ég kom ekki til að leggja mig. Ég hélt að ég hefði samt getað barist meira. Ég vil ekki gagnrýna dómarann. Hann gerði það sem hann þurfti að gera."

Barrios sagðist vera tilbúinn fyrir næsta stóra skref á ferlinum. „Það er undir stjórnendahópnum mínum komið,"Sagði hann. „Þegar þeim finnst ég vera tilbúinn mun ég berjast um heimsmeistaratitilinn. Einhver þeirra. Ég er að slá niður dyrnar um heimsmeistaratitil núna."

Í opnara sjónvarpsins, Javier Fortuna (34-2-1, 23 Kos) vann einróma dómaraákvörðun gegn Sharif Bogere (32-2, 20 Kos) í léttu 10 umferð lota. Allir þrír dómararnir skoruðu bardagann 96-93 í þágu Fortuna.

Southpaw Fortuna, frá Braintree, Mass, með Dóminíska lýðveldinu, lagði Bogere niður í sjöttu lotu, sömu umferð fékk Bogere viðbjóðslegan skurð fyrir ofan hægra augað eftir slysalega höfuðárekstur.

Brotið átti sér stað eftir að kraftmikill vinstri uppskurður Fortuna gerði Bogere dauf, sem virtist vera ýtt niður og snerti hanskann á striganum. Edward Collantes, dómari, skoraði með rothöggi, gefa Fortuna the 10-8 umferð.

"(Bankinn niður) var rétt,"Segir Fortuna, sem sagði að hann myndi elska framtíðarskot gegn Davis. „Ég sá að augun hans voru svolítið gljáandi og fæturnir svignuðu aðeins. Þegar ég sá að hann var skorinn, Leikskipulagið breyttist aftur og við þurftum að vinna aftur til að sækja á niðurskurðinn.“

Upprunalega frá Úganda en býr nú í Las Vegas, Bogere gaf sjálfum sér sjö út úr 10 bekk. „Ég held að ég hafi unnið bardagann,"Sagði hann. „Jafnvel höggið var naut. Hann hélt áfram að koma að mér með höfuðið. Hann hélt áfram að reyna að lemja mig. Áskorunin var sú að það var blóð í auganu á mér. Fyrstu umferðirnar var ég að boxa hann auðveldlega.“

Á miðjum tíma bardagans, Fortuna byrjaði að draga í burtu vinningslotur sex, sjö og átta á SHOWTIME óopinberu skorkorti Steve Farhood þegar Bogere hélt áfram að dofna, þó að hann komi aftur til að vinna umferð níu á korti Farhood.

Í power punch flokki, Fortuna tengdi á 89 af 310 kýla fyrir 29 prósent á meðan Bogere lenti 59 af 317 fyrir bara 19 prósent. Bogere var að hjóla í 13 bardaga sigurgöngu undanfarin sex ár þegar hann kom inn í bardagann.

„Það sem ég vil núna er samningur svo ég geti barist við Gervonta Davis hvar sem er. Lomachenko, einhver þeirra,"Segir Fortuna, sem átti No Decision gegn Adrian Granados í júní síðastliðnum á SHOWTIME eftir að hafa dottið út úr hringnum í fjórðu umferð vegna höfuð- og hálsmeiðsla..

SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING COUNTDOWN sýndi tvö bein bardaga á samfélagsmiðlum sem leiddu inn í þríhöfða sjónvarpið. Erickson Lubin, fyrrverandi heimsmeistaratitill (20-1, 15 Kos) felldi Ishe Smith (29-11, 12 Kos) alls fjórum sinnum áður en bardaginn var stöðvaður í lok umferðar þrjú í áætluðum 10 lota ofurveltivigt. Ósigraður ofurléttur Juan Heraldez (16-0, 10 Kos) stöðvaði Eddie Ramirez (17-3, 11 Kos) í sjöundu lotu í áætluðum 10 lota bardaga.

Hinn gamalreyndi útvarpsmaður Brian Custer stjórnaði SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP Box. Fjölhæfur bardagaíþróttamaður Mauro Ranallo kallaði aðgerðina við hlið Hall of Fame sérfræðingsins Al Bernstein og fyrrverandi tveggja deilda heimsmeistara Paulie Malignaggi. Þrjár frægðarhöllin slógu út sjónvarpsliðið - Emmy® verðlaunablaðamaðurinn Jim Gray, hnefaleikasagnfræðingurinn Steve Farhood sem óopinber markaskorari, og heimsþekkti hringaboðarinn Jimmy Lennon Jr. Alejandro Luna og fyrrverandi heimsmeistarinn Raul Marquez stjórnuðu sjónvarpinu á spænsku, fáanlegt í gegnum Secondary Audio Programming (SAP).

Davis fékk til liðs við sig á sviðinu verkefnisstjóri hans, goðsagnakenndur hnefaleikakappi og Mayweather kynningarforseti Floyd Mayweather. Hér er það sem þátttakendur blaðamannafundarins höfðu að segja á fimmtudaginn á Westin Los Angeles flugvellinum fyrir atburði laugardagskvöldsins:

GERVONTA DAVIS

“Ég er svo spenntur að koma aftur sterkur inn 2019. Þetta er árið sem gæti komið mér yfir toppinn og komið mér á hæsta stigi.

“Breytingin á andstæðingnum hafði engin áhrif á mig. Hjá áhugamönnum börðumst við fjórum eða fimm sinnum í viku þannig að við áttum alltaf mismunandi andstæðinga. Ég hafði samt verið að sparra einhvern hærri en ég í æfingabúðum. Ég held að bardagamaður ætti að vera tilbúinn og geta aðlagast öllu sem er fyrir framan hann á hringnum. Ég er tilbúinn og ég vona að Ruiz sé það líka.

“Æfingabúðir hefur verið mikill. Ég er tilbúinn fyrir laugardagskvöldið. Við ætluðum að berjast við Abner Mares, en hann var með meiðsli og við vonumst til að ná honum áfram ef allt er í lagi með heilsuna.

“Hugo Ruiz er frábær andstæðingur. Hann ætlar að mæta til að berjast á laugardagskvöldið. Hann hefur verið að segja fjölmiðlum að hann ætli að slá mig út, þannig að ég vona að við fáum bardaga fyrir aðdáendurna. Ég er ánægður með að Ruiz komi fyrir rothöggið. Við skuldum aðdáendum það og ég bið þess að hann komi tilbúinn til að sýna þeim frábæra sýningu.

“Mér líður eins og ég sé bardagamaðurinn sem getur orðið næsta stór stjarna. Ég er að vinna að því. Ég er bara krakki að drekka þetta allt inn núna. Laugardagur nótt, Ég vona að allir séu tilbúnir, því það verður aðgerð.

“Met Ruiz talar sínu máli. Ég hef horft á hann og hann er með popp. Hann er nákvæmur og ég er tilbúinn í það. Ég held að ég verði ekki með hringryð. Ég hef unnið með mörgum frábærum bardagamönnum í ræktinni. Ég er bara spenntur að komast aftur í hringinn.

“Ég vil gefa aðdáendum mínum um allan heim frábæra sýningu. Allir sem taka þátt eiga eftir að sjá frábæran árangur. Vonandi stendur Hugo við orð sín, því ég ætla að standa undir mínum.”

HUGO RUIZ

“Ég er mjög ánægður með þetta tækifæri. Ég ætla að láta allt í hringnum. Ég hef mikla trú á hnefaleikahæfileikum mínum. Ég treysti og trúi því að það verði nýr heimsmeistari á laugardagskvöldið.

“Ég er í takti og í formi. Ég hef verið mjög virkur að leiða inn í og ​​síðan síðasta bardaga minn. Davis er gríðarlegur meistari, en hann er ekki hræða mig. Ég verð tilbúinn fyrir hann á laugardagskvöldið.

“Þetta er frábært tækifæri til að berjast við suðurfót, eins og ég hafði upphaflega verið að æfa fyrir vinstrimann áður en andstæðingur minn breyttist í síðasta bardaga mínum. Ég barðist líka við suðurpúða í nóvember. Ég hef æft með mörgum vinstrimönnum í nokkurn tíma. Ég er meira en tilbúinn fyrir þetta tækifæri.

“Davis er sterkur meistari og ég veit að þetta er stórt tækifæri fyrir mig til að berjast við einhvern af hans stærðargráðu. Ég er tilbúinn andlega og líkamlega fyrir stærsta tækifærið sem mér hefur verið gefið.

“Þegar ég er 130 pund finn ég fyrir meiri krafti en nokkru sinni fyrr og ég mun sýna það á laugardagskvöldið. Þetta er mikil áskorun fyrir mig. Þetta er tækifærið sem ég hef beðið eftir í gegnum 12 ára feril minn. Ég ætla ekki að eyða því.”

MARIO BARRIOS

“Þetta er mikið tækifæri og ég er mjög spenntur fyrir því. Ég hlakka til að fara út og setja upp frábæra sýningu fyrir hnefaleikaaðdáendur.

“Ég er tilbúinn og er tilbúinn að nýta þetta tækifæri til fulls til að koma með yfirlýsingu á laugardagskvöldið. Ég vil einhvern af meistaranum í þessari deild, en ég er ekki að horfa framhjá Zamora. Ég veit bara að vinnan sem ég legg á mig mun borga sig.

“Ég er með stóra hluti á sjóndeildarhringnum og Zamora er á vegi mínum. Ég er einbeittur og tilbúinn að gera þetta frábært kvöld. Ef hann vill stríð, Ég mun veita honum stríð.”

RICHARD ZAMORA

“Ég er mjög ánægður og þakklátur fyrir að vera í þessari baráttu. Þetta er tækifærið sem ég hef verið að leita að. Ég er tilbúinn að keppa og ég ætla ekki að láta þetta tækifæri framhjá mér fara.

“Þetta er örugglega stórt skref fyrir mig í Bandaríkjunum. Frumraun. Ef ég get unnið Mario Barrios, þá myndi ég geta náð mörgum draumum sem ég á.

“Ég kem vel undirbúinn og á von á stríði. Ég ætla að vera tilbúinn til að fara og berjast þar til yfir lýkur. Þú munt sjá að ég ætla að skilja þetta allt eftir í hringnum.”

JAVIER FORTUNA

“Ég ætla að gefa það besta sem ég á í hringnum. Ég er að fara á móti góðum boxara með góðan árangur, en það skiptir ekki máli hvaða hindranir eru fyrir framan mig. Ég ætla að komast í gegn með stóran sigur á laugardagskvöldið.

“Við erum með nýtt lið og nýjan þjálfara sem ætlar að gefa stuðningsmönnum bestu Javier Fortuna sem hægt er á laugardaginn.

“Sigur gegn Sharif Bogere er mjög mikilvægur fyrir mig og skref í átt að því sem ég vil komast. Þetta verður erfið barátta, en ég er tilbúinn að gera þetta mjög erfitt kvöld fyrir hann.”

SHARIF BOGERE

“Við ætlum að gera þetta að frábærum bardaga á laugardaginn. Fortuna er góður bardagamaður og harður strákur. Ég býst við að hann komi með fullt af flugeldum. Ég er tilbúinn fyrir það og hef leikáætlunina til að vinna.

“Hver dagur er erfiður prófsteinn í lífinu. Þetta verður bara enn einn bardaginn. Ég er tilbúinn og er með frábært lið á bak við mig. Ég kem á laugardagskvöldið fyrir það sem tilheyrir mér.

“Fortuna hefur stórt nafn og er skref upp á við fyrir mig. Þessi sigur mun koma mér á toppinn og ég mun vera tilbúinn fyrir hvaða áskorun sem kemur eftir það.”

Floyd Mayweather, Forseti Mayweather Tilboð

“Það er frábært að vera hér með svona marga unga hæfileikaríka bardagamenn. Ég gat munað 23 árum síðan þegar ég var í sömu stöðu. Þegar þú ert í þessari stöðu þarftu að nýta það. Slík tækifæri koma einu sinni á ævinni. Þú verður að fara út og gefa allt þitt.

“Ég vil sjá þessa bardagamenn verða frábæra og verða stjörnur. Metin sem ég hef sett voru gerð til að slá.

“Ég man þegar Gervonta Davis kom fyrst í ræktina mína. Hann lagði hart að sér og hafði trú á sjálfum sér. Stundum gerðum við tvo á dag. Ef við héldum að verkið væri ekki gert rétt, við myndum koma aftur og leiðrétta það. Við höldum áfram að kappkosta á hverjum degi að vera það besta sem við mögulega getum verið. Gervonta vinnur mjög mikið, en hann getur ekki tekið neitt sem sjálfsögðum hlut í þessari baráttu.

“Ég held að Hugo Ruiz sé hættulegri andstæðingur en Abner Mares. Abner er frábær bardagamaður, en Ruiz er mjög harður og hann hefur góðan rothögg. Þetta er frábær samsvörun og svona sem fólk vill sjá. Þetta snýst allt um að setja upp frábærar sýningar og laugardagurinn verður enn ein stórsæla.”

LEONARD Ellerbe, Forstjóri Mayweather Promotions

“Við eigum frábæran viðburð á þessu laugardagskvöldi með frábærum bardögum frá toppi til botns á þessu spili. Þetta verður frábært hnefaleikakvöld.

“Gervonta Davis hefur náð markmiðum umfram hnefaleikahringinn. Ég veit hvaða áhrif Gervonta hefur á ungt fólk um allan heim. Þegar kemur að spennu, sprengikraftur og útsláttarkraftur, þetta er eitthvað nýtt sem aðdáendurnir fá tækifæri til að verða vitni að.

“Á unga aldri 24, aðdáendur hafa kynnst Gervonta fyrir kýlakraft hans. En hann er líka mjög fær boxari. Þetta er eitt af því sem hann mun geta sýnt fram á í mörgum stórum bardögum sem hann mun.

“Við vitum að hann á erfiða áskorun fyrir höndum. Hvenær sem þú átt varamann á síðustu stundu sem er frábær bardagamaður, það er mikil áskorun. Ruiz er árásargjarn bardagamaður og við eigum ekki von á öðru en frábærum bardaga.

“Gervonta Davis er með fullt vopnabúr. Að mínu mati, hann er mest spennandi bardagamaðurinn og stærsti kýlamaðurinn í allri íþróttinni. Það þarf meira en útsláttarkraft og ég held að þú munt sjá fjölda hæfileika hans.”

SAMPSON LEWKowicz, Forseti Sampson Boxing

“Það er mér mikill heiður að fá að taka þátt í þessari frábæru sýningu. Þetta verða þrír frábærir bardagar. Hugo Ruiz hafði verið að æfa fyrir suðurpott áður en skipting á mótherja leiddi til þess að hann barðist við hægri handar síðasta bardaga.. Eftir nokkrar vikur í viðbót í þessari baráttu, Ruiz er 100 prósent tilbúnir í þessa áskorun.

“Treystu mér, þetta verður hörku barátta. Ég trúi því að Davis muni hafa hendur fullar af Hugo Ruiz. Ruiz kemur úr fjölskyldu bardagamanna og hann er sannur mexíkóskur kappi sem mun skilja allt eftir í hringnum á laugardaginn.”

Hinn 23 ára gamli frá San Antonio getur aukið rothögg sína í sjö í febrúar 9, allt síðan hann fór upp í 140 pund. Hér er það sem Barrios (22-0, 14 Kos) hafði að segja um komandi viðureign hans og fleira frá æfingabúðum í Oakland, Calif.:

Á samsvörun sinni við Richard Zamora:

“Zamora er erfiðasti andstæðingurinn minn til þessa að mínu mati. Hann hefur unnið síðustu fimm bardaga sína, svo ég veit að hann kemur inn í þennan bardaga með miklu sjálfstrausti. Hann hefur kraft í báðum höndum og hann er mjög harður. En ég fer í þessa baráttu með mikið sjálfstraust sjálfur. Þetta verður stríð og ég hlakka til. Ég er ekki í neinum vafa um að ég eigi eftir að ná toppnum.”

Í nýlegum æfingabúðum sínum:

“Camp byrjaði aftur heim með Martin pabba mínum og hann gerði mig virkilega tilbúinn áður en ég fór til Kaliforníu. Ég hef eytt síðustu sex vikum í þjálfun á Bay Area með Virgil Hunter. Ég hef líka verið að æfa með Victor Conte og Remi Korchemny í SNAC aðstöðunni. Núna, líkami minn er í besta formi lífs míns. Ég fékk góða sparring við Devin Haney og nokkra aðra bardagamenn á toppnum. Öll erfiðisvinnan er nánast búin. Við eigum eina viku eftir og svo bardagavikan. Ég og Virgil erum að vinna frábærlega saman og ég er tilbúin að fara.”

Um slagsmál í aðalviðburðinum á SHOWTIME:

“Ég er mjög spenntur að berjast á SHOWTIME á stóru spili enn og aftur, að þessu sinni í aðalviðburðinum. Ég ætla að vekja mikla spennu fyrir þá sem horfa á sjónvarpið. Stíll minn er aðdáendavænn og allir sem stilla á munu sjá næstu stórstjörnu í hnefaleikum. Ég ætla að nýta þetta tækifæri til fulls í baráttunni á stóra sviðinu.”

Um hvenær hann mun berjast um heimsmeistaratitilinn:

“Ég er sem stendur í nr. 1 í WBA, svo ég veit að skot á heimsmeistaratitli er mjög nálægt. Núna, Aðaláherslan mín er að sigra Zamora. Ég verð að komast framhjá þessum bardaga og þá er kominn tími til að mæta öllum efstu strákunum í ofurléttvigtinni. Ég er að spá í að vera í heimsmeistaratitlabardaga einhvern tímann á þessu ári.”

Three-Division, Four-Time World Champion Abner Mares Sustains Injury; Forced To Withdraw From Match Against WBA Super Featherweight World Champion Gervonta Davis – Davis Now Set To Take on Former World Champion Hugo Ruiz in SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING Main Event Saturday, Febrúar 9

Skildu eftir athugasemd

LOS ANGELES (Janúar 30, 2019) -Three-division, four-time champion Abner Mares has been forced to pull out of the WBA Super Featherweight title match against two-time super featherweight champion Gervonta Davis on Saturday, Febrúar 9 after suffering an injury while training.

Davis will now defend against former world championHugo Ruizin the main event of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING, með umfjöllun hefst á 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT from Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California and presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

Ruiz is an all-action brawler who previously picked up a world title at super bantamweight in 2015 and most recently defeated Alberto Guevara in January on the Pacquiao vs. Broner PPV event in a featherweight fight. Ruiz, sem á 18 first round knockouts, floored Guevara in the opening minute and cruised to a near-shutout decision victory.

He had originally been slotted for an interim title shot against Jhack Tepora in January before Tepora missed weight, but will now have his chance to fight for a belt against one of the most-feared punchers at 130-pounds on February 9. The 30-year-old from Sinaloa, Mexico stands at five feet, nine inches tall, nearly four inches taller than Davis, and has won three straight fights leading up to this fight.

“I trained for three months to fight a southpaw when I fought in January,” said Ruiz. “When the opponent changed, it was hard to adjust in 24 klst. After the fight I immediately went back to the gym, because you never know what’s going to happen in boxing. Ég er 100 percent ready to knockout Gervonta Davis.”

“Hugo Ruiz has another opportunity to fight for a world title because he’s demonstrated that he’s devoted to boxing and his career,” Said Sampson Lewkowicz, Ruiz’s Promoter. “He went right back to the gym after his last fight. He’s ready for another great opportunity to be a world champion and he’s going to take advantage of that opportunity.”

Mares injured his right elbow during sparring at the Robert Garcia Boxing Gym in Riverside, Calif. Mares said he had experienced soreness in his elbow following the past two fights, but nothing that had ever given him nor his team concern.

“I’m not going to sugarcoat this. I’m disappointed and devastated that I’ve injured my right elbow in sparring,” Mares said. “This is something that I haven’t had happen to me during my career and the feeling is just horrible. I will be going to see my doctor about this and am prepared to follow whatever recommendations and rehab that gets me back into the ring. I’m healthy, not afraid of doing the work and I will be back. This is a temporary setback. Don’t count me out.”

“Boxing is a sport of brains, passion and physical punishment,” sagði Mares’ trainer Robert Garcia. “When you’re in the ring sparring with talented, top-class sparring partners, the chances of injuries are very high. That was the situation in this case. He was sparring top young fighters and he injured his elbow. He cannot fight like that, especially in a fight against Davis.”

Mæður, who has engaged in numerous memorable fights throughout his storied career, was seeking to move up in weight and looking to capture his fifth world title in a fourth weight class.

The event is promoted by Mayweather Promotions, TGB Promotions and Sampson Boxing.

LAS VEGAS(Janúar 16, 2019) – Boxing’s only eight-division world championManny Pacquiaoand former four-division world championAdrien “The Problem” Broner went face-to-face Wednesday in Las Vegas at the final press conference before they battle for Pacquiao’s World Boxing Association Welterweight World Title Saturday, Janúar 19 in the main event of a SHOWTIME PPV®event from the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

Pacquiao will be ending his two-year hiatus from a U.S. boxing ring to defend his title against the brash must-see attraction Broner. On Wednesday the fighters talked about their preparation and what they envision going down on Saturday night before staring each other down at the Copperfield Theatre at MGM Grand.

The PPV begins at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT and will feature two-division world champion Badou Jack battling unbeaten top-rated contender Marcus Browne for the WBA Interim Light Heavyweight Title, former world champion Rau’shee Warren taking on France’s Nordine Oubaali for the vacant WBC Bantamweight World Championship and unbeaten WBA Interim Featherweight Champion Jhack Tepora defending against former world champion Hugo Ruiz.

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Wednesday in Las Vegas:

MANNY PACQUIAO

“I feel so blessed and happy because of the excitement around this fight. It’s come from the fans here in the U.S. and media all over the world. I want to go out there and make all the people happy.

“The knockout in my last fight felt good. It felt like my younger days against Ricky Hatton, Miguel Cotto og aðrir. That fight was a big challenge for me to recover from the fight against Jeff Horn. People said that my career was done. But I never got discouraged, I just worked hard and made the knockout against Lucas Matthysse happen.

“These days I don’t only train my body, but also my mind. I’m a Senator, so my mind is very busy. I also play chess regularly and read books to keep my mind sharp.

“People writing me off after the Jeff Horn fight was good for me. I’m not mad at anyone who thought that. It just became a challenge and a test to me of whether or not I could still show my best.

“Being back here at MGM Grand makes me so happy. It’s an honor to be in this position. I remember my first fight here in the U.S. was at MGM Grand. I will never forget that moment and now I get to come back here and do it again.

“I know he is going to counter me but we’re ready for that. What happened in the Juan Manuel Marquez fight will not happen again. It was a mistake and I learned that mistake. We’ve worked on that in this training camp. I am prepared for Broner’s style.

“This is a challenge because it is my first fight as a 40-year-old. I have something to prove to everyone about what that means. Age is just a number. What matters is how you prepare and that you’re working hard.

“I don’t need to dislike my opponent to want a knockout. I’m just doing my job in the ring. Ef knockout kemur, it comes. We’re hoping to have that opportunity Saturday. I have to pressure him to make him open up. Wherever he goes, I’ll be there.

“I’ve always stayed disciplined throughout my years in boxing. I’m always making sure everything is in order and on point during my workouts. That plus cross-training with activities like basketball has helped me stay in this position all these years.”

Adrien BRONER

“I’m not up here to talk a lot of trash. I’ve put in the work. Það er berjast tíma. After I win, everything is going to be different.

“People are talking a lot about Pacquiao fighting Floyd Mayweather again, but I’m pretty sure Floyd is retired. I feel like people are trying to throw me to the wolves and overlook me.

“He doesn’t remind me of any past opponents just like I’m not going to remind him of anyone he’s fought. He’s never fought anyone like me. Every fighter has similarities, but truly every fighter is different. If I remind him of Floyd Mayweather, I hope his arm doesn’t hurt after this one.

“Look at my last five fights. I’ve fought world champion after world champion. I don’t duck any fights. I don’t care how many weight classes he’s won titles in.

“I’m not in awe of any fighter, especially Manny Pacquiao. I hope he’s in awe of me. I’m a one of a kind fighter too. I’ve made history in this sport.

“I just have to go out and win this fight, then everything is going to start going my way. Laugardagur nótt, Ég mun vera sigursæll. This is a defining moment in my career and it’s going to be one of the biggest nights of my life.

“Pacquiao hasn’t fought me so I’m not worried about what he says about me right now. He’s going to have a different outlook after he fights me Saturday night.

“I’m going to turn Las Vegas into a big block party after I win on Saturday night. It’s going to change my career.

“Manny Pacquiao has done a lot for the sport. I’m going to beat him up and have a drink with him afterward. I grew up in boxing and I know what’s going on. It’s a business, but don’t get it twisted, I’m going to dominate and win.

“This is going to be a hell of a fight. I’ve trained so hard and I want everyone to know that I play around a lot, but when that bell rings, Ég ætla að vera tilbúinn. I didn’t come here to lose or lay down. I came here to get this victory. Real talk.”

BUBOY FERNANDEZ, Pacquiao’s Co-Trainer

“I’m very thankful to this great team that we have that has prepared Manny for this challenge. I know that we worked very hard for this. I cannot fly without wings, but I can bring the belt back to the Philippines.

“Manny has trained hard and we expect a good fight. This is the hardest I’ve seen him train and it will be seen in the ring Saturday night”

Freddie Roach, Pacquiao’s Co-Trainer

“We’ve trained really hard for this fight. Manny is looking really good and is in tremendous shape. I’m sure Adrien is also because they’re both great fighters. I wish both men luck and may the best man win.”

KEVIN CUNNINGHAM, Broner’s Co-Trainer

“We’ve had a tremendous training camp. Adrien is ready to go. Everyone who knows me, knows that all I have in this world in my word, and I don’t break it for nobody. I’m giving you my word that Adrien will put on a spectacular performance on Saturday night.

“I’m guaranteeing that Adrien will send Manny back to the Senate, beltless, without the WBA title. I guarantee it.”

MIKE STAFFORD, Broner’s Co-Trainer

“Adrien came to me when he was 55 pounds and seven-years-old. He was an underdog then and he came back day after day. People thought he was a bad kid, but I told people that I saw something in him.

“Freddie Roach didn’t know who Adrien was years ago when we were getting ready to work with the Olympic team together. But he got to know Adrien, and on Saturday night, Manny is going to know him too. That’s for sure.”

JOE RAMOS, COO of Manny Pacquiao Promotions

“We are honored, humbled and proud to be a part of this amazing event. This will be Manny’s 20th fight in Las Vegas and we’ve been treated amazingly throughout the entire promotion. I’m thankful to all of Team Pacquiao for the work they do and helping make everything run smoothly.

“We all know that Adrien is ready and we expect nothing but the best from him and his team on Saturday night.

“MGM Grand is known for the lion, and Lenny the Lion is right there when you enter the building. Á laugardagskvöldið, Manny will show his heart of a lion for fans all over the world and prove once again that he’s the king of the jungle.”

LEONARD Ellerbe, Forstjóri Mayweather Promotions

“About three and a half years ago I sat here opposite this great legend in Manny Pacquiao. I’ve studied this man for many years and today he’s still one of the best welterweights in the world. He still has tremendous explosiveness and power, but more importantly the experience to beat any welterweight in the world.

“Pacquiao has been doing this for so many years that we forget how truly great this man is. He’s in a very comfortable position right now. He’s super motivated and thats what is going to make this a great fight on Saturday night.

“Coming into this fight we all know that there have been rumblings about what Adrien needs to do to win this fight. But what I’ve witnessed firsthand this entire promotion, is that this man has dedicated himself 100 prósent. He’s done everything his coaches have asked of him and he’s exceeded those expectations.

“Adrien Broner is ready, focused, and he’s put in the work. He’s put himself in the best situation to be successful on Saturday night. I expect nothing less than a great virtuoso performance. He didn’t cut one corner this training camp. He wants to prove to everyone, that everything people have said about him can be thrown out the window. He’s coming to show the entire world what he’s all about.”

RAVONE LITTLEJOHN, CEO of About Billions Promotions

“Adrien trained really hard for this fight. I’d like to thank Kevin Cunningham and Mike Stafford, they put together a great game plan. Adrien will be ready.

“There’s been a lot of talk from Pacquiao’s side about getting a knockout, but you’re the one getting knocked out. You’ve been knocked out, we haven’t.

“This our first time on this stage and in this position and it’s been very enjoyable. Adrien and I have put a lot into this over the last 10-15 ár. We’re pulling for our guy 100 percent.”

STEPHEN Espinoza, President Sports & atburður Forritun, Showtime Networks Inc.

“I’m not going to come up here and tell you all anything you don’t already know about Manny Pacquiao or Adrien Broner. These are two guys who have operated at the highest level of boxing for years. In Manny’s case, literally decades. But I will remind you of some things.

“Manny Pacquiao is a Hall of Famer, engin spurning um það. He’s a boxing legend who’s generous, humble and soft-spoken outside of the ring. But most of all, he takes tough fights. The last 20 opponents Pacquiao has had have been current, future or former world champions.

“Adrien Broner has faced nine world champions in 37 career fights. He’s obviously demonstrated himself as being an elite fighter. He’s flashy, flamboyant, sometimes outrageous, but he’s always unapologetically himself.

“On Saturday night, everything changes. Pacquiao is no longer soft-spoken and Broner is no longer fun-loving and outgoing. They transform themselves into two of the most athletically gifted and ferocious warriors in our sport. Above all these two guys have heart, which is the rarest thing in this sport.

“Between the two of them, they’ve won titles in 12 weight divisions. That’s the third most of all-time, trailing just Mayweather vs. Pacquiao and Pacquiao vs. De La Hoya.

“We know this is an elite fight and these fighters are in elite company. But on Saturday night, none of that matters. It’s not a contest of who has the best resume. This is a high level contest with high stakes between two of the most talented and athletically gifted fighters in the sport today. A win in this fight catapults each of these men to bigger things. It doesn’t get any more significant than that.”

RICHARD STORM, President of Entertainment and Sports for MGM Resorts International

“I’d like to welcome back Manny Pacquiao and Adrien Broner, two of the sport’s best fighters, back to Las Vegas and MGM Grand. Fans are always excited to watch these two fighters compete in the ring and we’re confident that Saturday’s event will kick off another exciting year of sports and entertainment programming for MGM Resorts.

“I’m thankful to all of the people who have helped make this fight happen here in Las Vegas. We look forward to seeing everyone at the MGM Grand Garden Arena Saturday night for this sensational event.”

LAS VEGAS(Janúar 15, 2019) – With fight week underway in Las Vegas, former four-division world championAdrien “The Problem” Bronerhosted a media workout Monday before he battlesManny Pacquiaofor the World Boxing Association Welterweight World Title Saturday, Janúar 19 in the main event of a SHOWTIME PPV®event from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Broner, along with trainerKevin Cunningham, have been at Barry’s Boxing in Las Vegas finishing up training camp after spending most of camp in West Palm Beach, Florida preparing to face boxing’s only eight-division world champion in Pacquiao. Here is what they had to say Monday at Barry’s Boxing:

Adrien BRONER

“Every fighter is different, but I know if I touch him flush, I’ll put him out. It’s no secret, he’s been to sleep before.

“I’m in shape and ready to go. We had a tremendous training camp. I could have made weight weeks ago. We’re prepared to go out and execute.

“I’ve been here before, and even though I haven’t been in a fight of exactly this magnitude, I’m just treating it like any other fight. He’s another opponent.

“A lot of people are saying that Pacquiao’s age will be a factor, but I’m not looking at it like that. You see guys like Floyd Mayweather who stay undefeated at an older age. I’m just focused on being me. As long as I do what I have to do, Ég mun vera sigursæll.

“We’re ready for whatever this fight is going to end up being. It could definitely be a war. I’ve always been an underdog. I came from the trenches and I’m bringing that mentality into the ring.

“I can take over boxing with a win over Pacquiao. There are a lot of great fighters in this sport, but they just don’t bring what I bring to the table. With a win like this, it would put me right where I was always meant to be.

“I’ve always wanted to fight the big names like this and I knew that I just had to keep working hard and the time would come.

“Once that bell rings, I’ll make my adjustments and go ahead and get my victory. I don’t have anything I want to go out and prove. It’s just about winning. That will say everything.”

KEVIN CUNNINGHAM, Þjálfari Broner er

“Preparation has been great. Camp hefur verið gríðarlega. Adrien is ready to go and extremely focused for this fight. He came into camp that way and it’s stayed that way.

“We added some things this training camp, because we know he’s fighting a legendary fighter. This is one that he has to have and he realizes it. I expect a spectacular performance.

“I think on Saturday night that Adrien is going to be that guy that everyone expected him to be from day one. It will open a lot of eyes. I believe that we put the work in. I can’t see Adrien coming out of there without a victory.

“The key to victory is for Adrien to just be himself. He has to do what he does best with no hesitation. He’s going to throw the right punches at the right time.

“Pacquiao still throws combinations but they don’t come in as fast or as sharp as they used to. He can throw as many punches as he wants to throw, but if they’re not landing, it doesn’t mean anything.

“I think Adrien is the quicker fighter. Quickness offsets speed, all day, every day. It’s all about being quick enough to time the guy with your hand speed. It’s different than just throwing a bunch of fast punches.”

“I’m a confident fighter. I don’t need to talk and brag about everything. I’m just comfortable; innan og utan hringinn.

“I’m battle-tested. I’ve been in there in tough fights. He hasn’t been tested like that, so we’ll have to see what he’s capable of when the pressure is on.

“Marcus Browne is an athletic and skilled fighter. But it’s a little different to fight on the prospect and contender level versus on this world class level.

“One of my biggest strengths in the ring is my ability to adjust. Þjálfari minn, Lou Del Valle, has really helped in that regard. He’s been in there as a world champion like me on the big stage. He knows so much about boxing.

“This is nothing new to me. I’ve been on a lot of big cards, so this is a regular day on the job. It’s exciting as always and I can’t wait to put on a good show.

“I feel like it’s my duty to give back outside of the ring. With this platform that I have, why wouldn’t I? We should use this platform for something deeper than boxing.”

On the Pacquiao vs. Broner SHOWTIME PPV main event:

“It’s a really good fight. Pacquiao looked pretty good in his last fight, but Broner is very talented. Anything can happen in boxing, especially because Broner has a good chin and can fight. He just has to stay focused.”

LOU DEL VALLE, Jack’s Trainer

“Camp has been amazing. Every camp has just been better and better. He has improved on his weaknesses each time we work together. It’s incredible that a guy who’s 35-years-old can keep performing the way he is and still be getting better.

“We know that we have to be careful because Marcus is a good fighter. Everyone we fight at this level is quality. We’re only fighting champions and guys with the top pedigree. The better the fighter, the better we get.

“I don’t think that Marcus Browne wants to go the distance with Badou Jack. If you notice in previous fights, guys who fight Badou are not the same after. He takes a lot out of them and I think it’s going to happen again. Marcus is going to go for the early knockout, but we’re ready.

“The experience gap is a big difference. I had only fought one 10-rounder when I first fought for the title, but I still thought that I could beat him. The experience that Virgil Hill had over me was really difficult to overcome and I think you’ll see something similar play out in this fight.”

LEONARD Ellerbe, Forstjóri Mayweather Promotions

“I think that this is going to be a very competitive fight. You have two guys in this fight that are very hungry. There are a lot of options in the light heavyweight division, and it’s all about timing. This fight gives both guys a chance to prove that they want to be the best and make a great statement.

“This fight has a very good chance of stealing the show. I like the fact that Marcus is very confident. If you’re in a big fight, you have to be. Badou is even-keeled, and he comes with his workman-like approach to every fight.

“Experience is everything in big fights. It’s a big deal when you’re under those lights. Going the distance with top guys, and knowing how to break guys down, it all plays a big role in fights like this.”

In the opening bout of the four-fight PPV telecast, ósigraður JhackTepora mun taka á fyrrverandi heimsmeistari Hugo Ruiz in a 12-round featherweight clash.

Í helstu atburði, Senator Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao, boxing’s only eight-division world champion, will end his two-year hiatus from a U.S. boxing ring when he returns to Las Vegas to defend his World Boxing Association Welterweight World Title against former four-division world champion and must-see attraction Adrien “The Problem” Broner.

“Not only will the fans witness a tremendous main event, they will get to enjoy three action-packed match-ups that will add another level to the pay-per-view portion of the card,” Said Leonard Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather Promotions. “Both Jhack Tepora and Hugo Ruiz are looking to make a name for themselves in the stacked featherweight division, while Rau’shee Warren and Nordine Oubaali are in the prime of their careers and battling for the WBC title. Mayweather Kynningar’ Badou Jack has made an exemplary statement for his career inside and outside of the ring and is focused on further strengthening his resume, while Marcus Browne is looking to showcase his talent on boxing’s biggest stage.”

Jack (22-1-3, 13 Kos) has fought twice at light heavyweight since relinquishing his super middleweight world title to campaign at 175 £. The 35-year-old, who was born in Stockholm, Svíþjóð, represented his father’s Gambia in the 2008 Olympics and now lives in Las Vegas. Jack won the super middleweight world title with a majority decision against Anthony Dirrell in 2015 and successfully defended the title three times before he relinquished the belt following a hard-fought majority draw against James DeGale in one 2017’s best fights. In his first bout at 175 £, Jack stopped Nathan Cleverly to pick up the WBA light heavyweight title before fighting to a majority draw against Adonis Stevenson in his last fight on May 19.

“I’m looking forward to getting back onto another big stage to perform for my fans across the globe and prove I am one of the best fighters in the world,” said Jack. “I plan to show off my skills with a dominating performance on January 19. I always want to fight the best, and he’s the best that’s available right now. I’m always 100 percent ready and I’m going into this fight stronger, faster and with more experience than ever before.”

The 28-year-old Browne (22-0, 16 Kos) will be taking a step up to face an elite opponent when he battles Jack. A félagi af the 2012 Bandarískt. Ólympíulið í hnefaleikum, Browne moved up the contender ladder in the 175-pound division with brute force and power, scoring three straight knockout victories against Thomas Williams, Jr., Sean Monaghan and Francy Ntetu. Browne, who was born and raised in Staten Island, N.Y., scored a unanimous decision victory over Lenin Castillo in his last fight on August 4.

“This is really an honor and a privilege to have an opportunity to showcase my talents on a big time pay-per-view card featuring Manny Pacquiao and Adrien Broner,” Browne said. “Badou Jack is a championship-caliber fighter and one of the toughest guys you can fight in the light heavyweight division. I’m ready for the step up in competition and focused on being a household name in the sport sooner rather than later.”

Warren (16-2, 4 Kos) is looking to return to the world championship ranks with a victory over Oubaali. The 31-year-old became the first three-time Olympic boxer from the U.S. when he qualified for consecutive Olympic teams in 2004, 2008 og 2012. His Olympic run came to an end against Oubaali when he lost a narrow 19-18 decision in the first round of the 2012 London leikir. A southpaw from Cincinnati, Ohio, Warren won the WBA Bantamweight World Championship with a majority decision over Juan Carlos Payano in 2016 and lost the title the next year to Zhanat Zhakiyanov by split-decision.

“This fight means everything for me and it’s about to be the biggest moment of my career,” Warren said. “Not only am I fighting for the WBC belt, but it’s on pay-per-view. When I first won the title it was like winning the gold medal at the Olympics. After I lost the title, it made me much hungrier and I want to get it back even more. I fought this guy in the Olympics, so I’m fighting for revenge. This isn’t the Olympics. This is 12 rounds and I don’t think he’s fought anybody like me. I have no choice but to put it all on the line on January 19.”

The 32-year-old Oubaali (14-0, 11 Kos), an unbeaten southpaw from Lens, Pas-de-Calais, France, has knocked out his last five opponents. His most recent KO of Luis Melendez on April 17 moved Oubaali up the ranks to position him for a world title shot. Oubaali, who is the sixth of 18 children born in France to parents who are from Morocco, twice represented France at the Olympics, qualifying in 2008 og 2012 when he defeated Warren.

“Many people are waiting for this fight because it’s the second time we meet,” said Oubaali.”I beat Rau’shee Warren at the 2012 London Games in a great battle. In the meantime, Rau’shee captured a world championship and lost it. Núna, I’m the WBC No. 1 ranked bantamweight fighter in the world. It will be a great fight in Las Vegas on January 19 and I intend to beat Rau’shee again to become the new WBC world champion.”

The 25-year-old Tepora (22-0, 17 Kos) has steadily risen up the ranks since turning pro in 2012 and most recently captured the WBA interim featherweight crown with a ninth-round stoppage of Edivaldo Ortega in July. Representing Cebu City, Filippseyjar, Tepora enters his U.S. debut on January 19 with stoppage wins in 11 af síðasta sinn 12 keppnir.

“It has always been a dream to fight in the United States,” said Tepora. “I never dreamed that my first fight in the U.S. would be on a card with Senator Manny Pacquiao vs. Adrien Broner. I look forward to a tremendous fight on January 19 and defending my title versus former world champion Hugo Ruiz. As you all know the best rivalry in boxing is Filipino vs. Mexican. It’s going to be a great fight.”

Fighting out of Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico, Ruiz (38-4, 33 Kos) will make his featherweight debut on January 19 after picking up two victories in 2018. The 30-year-old won a super bantamweight world title with a first round stoppage of Julio Ceja in 2016, avenging his previous loss to Ceja in one of 2015’s most exciting fights. He now seeks to position himself for a world title at 126 pounds with a victory against Tepora.

“I expect it to be a good fight because Tepora is undefeated and a good Filipino champion,” said Ruiz. “But I’m ready. I don’t think he can handle my power. Ég ætla að knýja hann út. I want to do my best to win the title. I’ve been watching videos of him and I’ve been training hard. I’m really focused on how to beat him. I’m still young, but I’ve got the experience to handle him in this fight.”
