Aquí está o que os participantes tiñan que dicir Xoves about the highly anticipated night of action:

 

JESUS ​​Cuéllar

 

“I’ve been wanting to fight Mares for about two years. It’s finally going to happen. This is what I want. I’m going to make a statement.

 

“I’m very happy that this fight is finally here. I can’t wait to get in the ring on Decembro 10. I’m thankful for the opportunity. I know Mares is popular in Los Angeles, but I have a following as well and they will be there to support me.

 

“I’m training very hard and feeling physically strong. We never stopped training for this fight. Mares will come prepared for a war and I hope that’s what the fight is like. It’s going to prove who has the bigger heart.

 

“I’ve been training with Freddie Roach for about four months. It’s been a great partnership and he will make me even better than I’ve been. We’ve been practicing really hard. Freddie is handing me the tools to go to work. You will see all my experience come together on fight night.

 

“Mares is a great fighter. He’s been a champion for many years. He’s never faced an opponent like me. This will be his hardest challenge.

 

“I’m sure Mares will give it his all, just like I will. I’ve been dreaming about this fight for years. This will be a great battle, but I am prepared to take my belt back to Argentina.

 

“This is the most important fight of my career. I’m planning on knocking him out. I know that big things are going to come my way after I beat Mares.”

 

Abner Mares

 

“This is going to be a smarter Abner Mares. I’ve been learning a lot with Robert Garcia. They gave us a year to train and learn together. He’s a knowledgeable coach. He’s not just a guy who works mitts. This is the real deal. He gets you better and I’m really happy with him.

 

“I want to thank Cuellar and his team for waiting for this fight to come to fruition. I really appreciate that as a person. É finalmente aquí.

 

“I was actually commentating the Stiverne vs. Arreola fight at Galen Center and it was a great atmosphere. The environment there is incredible and I was just imagining being up in the ring as the main event.

 

“I want the winner of the Frampton vs. Santa Cruz rematch. I want to continue to fight the best. I want to be known as a guy who fights the best.

 

“Being on the big stage like this has made me what I am. Being on the bantamweight tournament on SHOWTIME really started to show people what my style is like. To be back for another world opportunity, it means everything to me. I’m hoping to give them another exciting fight.

 

“I never talk down about a fighter. We all deserve our respect. We all have the same desire to strive to be the best. Cuellar is a beast. He hits hard. The record speaks for itself and that’s what has me so excited. This is the kind of fight I want to be in. El trae o mellor de min.

 

“If I have to make it into a brawl, I will do that. I have the boxing abilities to be the smarter fighter and win by out boxing him. I learn from all of my fights, especially the losses. From the Santa Cruz fight I learned that I really need to listen to my corner. I let the crowd get to me and fought the wrong fight. I’m going to be ready for everything.

 

“This title coming home is going to be a nice Christmas present. It means the world to me. I’m going to add something to my trophy case.

 

“I’m a new man. I’m a grown man. I have two beautiful daughters. I like to learn something new every day. You will see a different Abner on Decembro 10. This is going to end the year with the ‘Fight of the Year.’”

 

ROBERT GARCIA, Mares’ Trainer

“I’m thankful to Cuellar and his team for giving us this opportunity. He’s a good person who trains very hard and gives 100 percent all the time.

 

“I’ve been working with Abner almost this whole year. The dates for the fight have changed but now we have had a lot of time to get to know each other. We’ve been working side-by-side and we’ve had a lot of time to learn about each other.

 

“I think everybody should come out to this fight or watch on SHOWTIME, because it’s going to be one of the best fights of the year. I guarantee it.”

 

SEBASTIAN CONTURSI, Cuellar’s Manager

 

“Here we go again. It’s been a long process and there have been a lot of people who have helped get us to this.

 

“I want to thank Mares and his whole team for taking this fight. Esta vai ser unha guerra. There’s no doubt about it. We love Robert, but we will have our back and forth leading up to this one. These are boxing war times, but he is a great person. But now we are with another one of the best trainers in the world, none other than Freddie Roach.

 

“Cuellar doesn’t live in Los Angeles. He actually still lives in Argentina. But he has stayed in Los Angeles throughout this whole process. He’s been away from his friends and family for almost nine months, but he has not complained once or asked to go home. That just shows the kind of professional that Jesus Cuellar is.”

 

Richard Schaefer, Presidente & CEO de Ringstar Sports

 

“I’m truly excited to be here with all of you. This night will feature two top-notch matchups and four guys who are at the pinnacle of their respective divisions. I’m really excited for this to be my first event back.

 

“This is a statement fight for Jesus Cuellar. It’s the biggest fight of his career. But he has passed every test so far. He’s a true warrior, as all Argentine fighters are. He’s a big puncher with a sterling record. This is a tough challenge, but he has every intention of keeping that belt.

 

“Abner Mares is a true warrior and you will all have the opportunity on Decembro 10 to go after a fourth world title against a strong champion in Jesus Cuellar, who has defended his title five times. But that is the kind of person Abner Mares is. He’s going to test himself against the best there is.

 

“I’m happy to be back and hopefully I’ll be able to add to this great sport of boxing. We’re here in a first class venue today and this is the kind of venue deserving of boxing. Boxing is about entertainment, and if you were to pick four boxers to put on an entertaining card, these would be them.

 

“These are going to be tremendous fights. Styles makes fights. Mares has been waiting for this opportunity and Cuellar is going to fight to keep his title. This is one of the most talked about fights around. It’s going to be all toe-to-toe action from the start to the finish.

 

“Two of the best matches in the sport are happening right here in Los Angeles on the same night. This is the best fighting the best and Los Angeles will be buzzing.

 

“It’s very special to be able to do my first event back in Los Angeles. To have two exciting, toe-to-toe battles on this card is great. Then the cherry on top is the opportunity to work with a man like Abner Mares. I met him at the 2004 Olympics and I was always impressed with his style and his personality and how he carries himself. "

 

BRITANY GOOSSEN BROWN, TGB Promocións

 

“We’re thrilled to be here working on another great night of boxing. Xuntos, with the matchmaking expertise of my father, Tom Brown, and Richard’s promotional talent, this has the makings of an excellent collaboration.

 

“We’re especially looking forward to working with the great staff at the Galen Center. We were here once before, for the heavyweight world title fight between Chris Arreola and Bermane Stiverne. That was a sold out night and I have a feeling this one will be too.

 

“Los Angeles has the best fight fans in the world and I know that they will be there to support these great fighters.”

 

CHRIS DEBLASIO, SVP Sports Communications at Showtime Networks

 

“SHOWTIME continues to deliver the strongest lineup of any network in boxing, bar none. We recently announced a slate of upcoming events that is further proof that no one is committing more resources to move the sport forward than Showtime. And the next great run of evenly matched, world class fights begins on Sábado, Decembro 10 en Los Angeles. This card features four fighters ranked in the top-10 of their division taking the right fight at the right time. These men are as respectable and dependable outside of the ring as they are ferocious and talented inside the ring.

“We’re proud to be showcasing these two world title fights on the network. These fights exemplify what SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING is all about.

 

“Mares and Cuellar might be the most evenly matched of the five featherweight championship fights we have presented on SHOWTIME this year. And we know that Jermall Charlo vs. Julian Williams, the latest in a series of fights at junior middleweight, will determine the future of the deep and talented division.”

I know that this fight will be a war. I’ve been working hard with Freddie Roach and I’m excited to show what I’ve learned and get my frustration of waiting off my chest.

I’m looking forward to putting my clearer vision to the test and I’m so prepared and ready for this fight. This is everything I’ve ever wanted. It’s the best fighting the best.

And in Charlo vs. Williams, our latest in a series of significant bouts at 154-pounds, we have a prime example of how great this sport can be. These are major fights between the top players in two of boxing’s deepest divisions.”
Unha estrela fast-levanta-se fóra de Bos Aires, Arxentina, Cuellar isworking toward his 12th consecutive victory when he gets in the ring to defend his 126-pound title against Mares. His power in both hands has helped him deliver seven knockouts in his last 10 vitorias, including an eighth-round knockout of former world champion Vic Darchinyan en xuño 2015. The 29-year-old won his world title with a unanimous decision over Claudio Marrero na súa U.S.. estrea en agosto 2013. He went on to defend his title against Rico Ramos, Juan Manuel López e Ruben Tamayo.
Nacido en Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico and fighting out of Huntington Beach, Calif., Nais won his first title in 2011 when he beat Joseph Agbeko to capture the bantamweight crown. He continued to rise in the pound-for-pound list with victories over Anselmo Moreno e Daniel Ponce De Leon to win world titles at super bantamweight and featherweight. The 30-year-old won three straight fights leading to a massive showdown with Leo Santa Cruz en agosto pasado. Mares showed the same explosiveness that made him a multiple-division world champion in a thrilling “Loita do Ano” candidate which he lost by majority decision. The always-exciting Mares will enter the ring for the first time under the tutelage of renowned trainer Robert Garciaand strength coach Luís García as he seeks to capture another world title.
Twin brother of fellow 154-pound world champion Jermell, Jermall Charlowill be making the third defense of the super welterweight crown he won last September with a dominant stoppage over Cornelius Bundrage. The 26-year-old is coming off of a career-best, hard-fought decision over crafty former world champion Austin Trout in May in Las Vegas. Training with Ronnie Shields en Houston, Charlo will look to silence Williams and stake his claim as the best in the division.
Unha das estrelas novas máis respetado no boxeo, Williams, de Filadelfia, will be getting his first world title opportunity. The 26-year-old has dismantled opponents on his way to accumulating an unbeaten record. Williams solidified his status as a fast-rising star by defeating veterans Luciano Cuello e Arman Ovsepyan in addition to a shutout victory over contender Joey Hernandez en 2015. He earned his No. 1 ranking and title fight by stopping Italy’s Marcello Matano in the seventh round in March.

Super middleweight world champions Badou Jack e James Degale are set to unify the 168-pound class. Both champions retained their titles on a doubleheader last Abril 30 na canle Showtime.

Earlier that evening, DeGale successfully defended his IBF crown with a unanimous decision over mandated challenger Rogelio Medina. Jack landed 61 por cento dos seus golpes de enerxía, while DeGale connected on an astonishing 66 por cento dos seus tiros de enerxía.

The hard-charging, all-action Granados, who pulled a stunning upset of then-undefeated WBC No. 1 ranked super lightweight Amir Imam in a dominating performance last November on SHOWTIME, thrives in the underdog role and has a deceiving record – his four defeats, all via split or majority decision, have come against opponents with a cumulative record of 52-1.

Should Garcia defeat Samuel Vargas on Novembro. 12 in a non-title fight, he and Thurman are set to meet in a marquee unification blockbuster between undefeated champions at the pinnacle of their careers.

BROOKLYN (Xullo 31, 2016) - Nun posible enfrontamento "Fight of the Year" entre dous loitadores invictos, Carl Frampton afilada Leo Santa Cruz nun tiroteo para capturar o Campionato Mundial de Peso Pluma da AMB no evento principal de SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® Sábado fronte 9,062 fans no Barclays Center eléctrico de Brooklyn.

 

Frampton (23-0, 14 Kos), o antigo campión unificado de peso súper gallo que ascendeu a 126 libras para desafiar a Santa Cruz (32-1-1, 18 Kos), converteuse no primeiro nativo de Irlanda do Norte en converterse nun campión do mundo de dúas divisións.

 

A decisión maioritaria, marcou 114-114 deseñar, 116-112 e 117-111, loitou a un ritmo vertixinoso desde o primeiro momento.

 

O selo de Santa Cruz sempre foi o seu alto octanaje e o seu poder de perforación, pero o campión do mundo de tres divisións non puido aproveitar a súa vantaxe de alcance, e a súa actividade foi eliminada polos tremendos contragolpes e tiros potentes de Frampton. Mentres que os dous loitadores son top 10 no mundo a golpes, un abraiante 402 dos seus 497 golpes combinados aterrados foron tiros poderosos.

 

Mentres Santa Cruz aterraba case igual á cantidade de tiros de poder, 206 vs. 191 – o 46 por cento no que Frampton se conectou parecía ter máis limpo e causar máis dano. E mentres Santa Cruz era a loitadora máis alta, lanzouse cara adiante e loitou pouco por dentro, permitindo a Frampton minimizar o alcance e disputar a batalla cara a cara, onde máis lle conviña.

 

"É un soño feito realidade,", Dixo Frampton. "Tiña o soño de gañar un título mundial e gañeino, pero nunca pensei que gañaría en dúas divisións. Foi unha loita dura, Quería que fose unha loita dura porque quería unha loita que a xente lembrase. Eu o respecto moito. Era un verdadeiro guerreiro.

 

"Tiña un bo plan de xogo. Shane era un adestrador incrible. Díxome cada vez que volvía á esquina que podíamos gañar isto moito máis doado. Pero gañeino co corazón, non coa cabeza e levantei a man.

 

“O control de distancia e golpear forte foron as claves. Gañei a loita porque non perdín o control. Gañeime o seu respecto no inicio da pelexa co meu control de distancia e golpes duros. Encantaríame levar a este home a Belfast para unha revancha e mostrarlle á xente de alí o gran loitador que é".

 

Ao chamar aos outros campións ás 126 libras, incluíndo o campión da FIB Lee Selby e o campión do CMB Gary Russell Jr, que estaban os dous presentes - dixo Frampton: "Quero grande, loitas memorables". Fai clic AQUI para a entrevista completa de Frampton posterior á loita.

 

Santa Cruz, quen capturou cintos en 118, 122 e 126 libras, non estaba de acordo coa decisión pero estaba de acordo co desexo de Frampton dunha revancha.

 

"Foi unha loita dura dende o principio,", dixo Santa Cruz. "Sabiamos que ía ser unha loita dura, pero pensei que estaba preto cando estaba alí tirando. Quizais os xuíces escoitaban á multitude e pensaron que cada pequeno golpe marcaba.

 

"Ten un estilo difícil, pero coñecemos o seu estilo e conseguirémolo na revancha. A multitude estaba animando, e creo que os xuíces viron iso. Quizais, sen iso, teriamos empatado ou quizais unha decisión.

 

"É difícil conseguir a túa primeira derrota, pero agora voltaremos ao ximnasio, conseguiremos a revancha e gañaremos. E esa perda non significará nada. Quero ter unha revancha en Los Ángeles, pero eu tamén irei a Belfast.

 

Antigo campión do mundo de dúas divisións invicto Mikey Garcia volveu ao ring de forma impresionante despois de dous anos e medio de ausencia, pavimentos antigo título Elio Rojas catro veces no camiño cara a un nocaut técnico no quinto asalto (2:02).

 

Garcia (35-0, 29 Kos) non mostrou sinais de ferruxe cando avanzou desde a campá de apertura. O primeiro 126 e o campeón de 130 libras e o piar principal libra por libra pisou a Rojas (24-3, 14 Kos) a metade do terceiro cun combo dereita-esquerda, enviando ao dominicano á lona só por segunda vez na súa carreira. Rojas gañou a conta, pero un monstro dereito mandouno caer cara diante menos que un minuto despois para o segundo derribo da rolda. Novo, o duradeiro Rojas seguiu adiante como partido de partido de García.

 

Rojas volveu marcar a metade do quinto cun dereito enorme, caendo ao lenzo por terceira vez en loita. Agora sangrando polo nariz, Rojas volveu ser derrubado uns segundos despois por un brutal uppercut dereito de García. Novo, Rojas gañou a conta, pero parecía derrotado e o árbitro Eddie Claudio detivo a loita.

 

“O despedimento de dous anos e medio provocoume un incendio e motivoume a facer o mellor que puiden,"Dixo García, que desembarcou 50 por cento dos seus tiros de enerxía. “Elio é un tipo duro e un antigo campión do mundo. Non veu por un soldo; veu gañar.

 

“Elio aproveitou a ocasión. Pero adestramos para unha gran actuación como esta e estaba encantado de facer o traballo. Sentímolo xenial estar aquí cunha multitude de apoio detrás de min. Estou desexando volver aí e gañar outro título mundial.”

 

A pesar dos catro derribos, Rojas non estaba de acordo co parón e quería seguir loitando.

 

“Puiden saír da lona porque adestraba moito,", dixo Rojas. "Mikey é só máis forte. Son un natural de 126 libras que loita por riba do meu peso. Foi un gran enfrontamento e Mikey é un gran loitador. Non teño dúbida de que vai facerse cargo da división.

 

“Estaba moi molesto cando se detivo a loita. Quería seguir porque teño corazón de campión e nunca quero renunciar.”

 

Pretendente de 154 libras unha vez vencido Tony Harrison conseguiu o número da IBF. 2 posición cun nocaut técnico no noveno asalto (1:18) de Sergey Rabchenko no combate inaugural do SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING.

 

Harrison (24-1, 20 Kos) agora ocupa o n.o. 2 detrás do campión mundial de peso medio júnior da IBF, Jermall Charlo e o n. 1 o retador obrigatorio Julian Williams, que aceptaron loitar a finais deste ano.

 

Harrison estableceu a distancia co seu jab, controlou o ritmo e superou a Rabchenko (27-2, 20 Kos) por un case 2-1 marxe. Estaba derrotando a Rabchenko cunha dieta constante de tiros potentes e golpes oportunos cando derrubou ao nativo de Bielorrusia cunha afiada man dereita un minuto para o noveno.. Rabchenko levantouse, pero parecía derrotado e inestable sobre os seus pés, obrigando ao árbitro Arthur Mercante a paralizar o concurso.

 

Harrison aterrou 11 de 40 golpes por rolda enriba dun impresionante 46 por cento dos seus tiros de enerxía.

 

“Esta é, sen dúbida, a miña maior vitoria,", dixo Harrison. "Estaba atraíndolle a durmir. O meu adestrador díxome que tería a man dereita detrás do jab e iso foi o que pasou. Son un rematador. Tiveno ferido e díxenlle ao árbitro: "É mellor que non o deixes ir".’ Eu sabía que o tiña vencido.

 

"Un Tony Harrison concentrado pode gañar a calquera en 154 libras. Agora está en Jermall Charlo e Julian Williams. Estou no asento do paxaro gato.”

 

Rabcheko lanzou unha media de só 31 golpes por rolda, conectando só sete por rolda.

“Non tirei suficientes golpes,", admitiu Rabchenko. "Seguín confiando na miña defensa e non atacei o suficiente. Buscaba un tiro e era difícil facelo contra Tony Harrison cun só golpe. O árbitro fixo un gran traballo coa parada. A miña saúde é ante todo. A saúde de calquera loitador é o máis importante. Sabía que non podía continuar.”

 

Antigo campión do mundo de dúas divisións e analista de SHOWTIME Paulie Malignaggi gañou unha decisión unánime en 10 asaltos sobre o seu compañeiro de Brooklyn Gabriel Bracero na "Battle for Brooklyn". O combate de peso welter foi marcado 96-94 e 98-92 dúas veces.

 

"The Magic Man" pegouse ao seu plan de xogo habitual, golpeando a distancia e utilizando a súa vantaxe de alcance contra o Bracero naturalmente máis pequeno, quen non puido entrar contra o técnico mestre. gañar (36-7, 7 Kos) dictaba o ritmo e era o loitador máis eficaz, aterraxe 35 por cento dos seus golpes totais en comparación con 29 para Bracero (24-3, 5 Kos). Malignaggi dominou co jab, aterraxe 11 por rolda, que é o dobre da media do peso welter.

 

“Sabía que Bracero era un contragolpe coma min. Só intentaba ser o contragolpe máis agudo. Os dous intentamos tender trampas e só quería facerlle gañar os puntos que obtivese. Á vez, Sentín que tiña que gañar os meus puntos. Ditei a pelexa con tiros de pota e dando un paso.

 

“Non quería desesperarme. Quería obrigalo a desesperarse por quedar atrás nos marcadores. Creo que fixen un bo traballo con iso. Mentres a loita ía, Só usei o meu movemento e fintas para manter o control.

 

"O plan era mantelo sinxelo, se non se axustaba a ningunha trampa, entón ía seguir usándoas. Mantívoo o máis sinxelo que puiden contra un tipo que se complicas as cousas, collerache. É un contragolpe que pode facerche pagar. "

 

Máis tarde pola noite, Malignaggi volveu ao seu posto como comentarista da transmisión de SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING.

 

“Estou emocionado de convocar as pelexas esta noite,", dixo Malignaggi. "Son fan antes que loitador. Estou emocionado de ir traballar agora".

 

Na loita de apertura na canle Showtime boxeo en SHO EXTREME, de Filadelfia Tevin Fazendeirogañou o seu 15th loita consecutiva cunha impresionante decisión unánime de 10 asaltos sobre o peso lixeiro previamente vencido Ivan Redkach, marcou, 99-89, 98-90 dúas veces.

 

Loitando no seu 26th aniversario, Labrego (22-4-1, 5 Kos) foi o loitador máis eficaz desde o principio. Puido loitar por dentro contra o Redkach naturalmente maior (19-2-1, 15 Kos), quen só a derrota chegara nun 2015 eliminatoria do título contra o actual campión do mundo peso lixeiro do CMB Dejan Zlaticanin.

 

Labrego, quen é a racha de vitorias remóntase a a 2012 derrota ante o actual campeón de 130 libras José Pedraza, desembarcou 42 por cento dos seus golpes de enerxía en comparación con só 19 por cento para Redkach, que aterrou xusto 16 por cento do seu total de socos.

 

“Estou orgulloso da miña actuación desta noite,", dixo Farmer. "Estaba moi seguro de que sairía vitorioso sempre que executase o plan de xogo e iso foi o que fixen.. Quero un título mundial. Vou volver a 130 libras e sinto que estou preparado para unha oportunidade de título. Se teño que loitar contra un eliminador fareino. Non vou dar marcha atrás ante ningún reto.

 

“batíno. Eu era o loitador máis experimentado e entrei con máis roldas e con mellores opoñentes no meu currículo.”

 

A ambos os loitadores descontoulles un punto, Farmer no oitavo por un golpe baixo e Redkach no noveno por un cabezazo intencionado.

 

A transmisión de SHOWTIME EXTREME tamén contou con aspectos destacados do campión mundial de peso pluma da WBO Amanda Serrano mentres deixou caer o de Colombia Calixta Silgado dúas veces camiño dunha parada da primeira rolda.

 

Serrano (29-1-1, 22 Kos) defendeu o seu título no primeiro combate do campionato mundial feminino no Barclays Center e fixo un traballo rápido da retadora. Serrano pululaba a Silgado (14-7-3, 9 Kos) dende o principio con combinacións fortes e enganches potentes. Silgado puido recuperarse da primeira caída pero axiña foi sufocado por Serrano, quen a enviou á lona e obrigou ao árbitro Benjy Esteves a parar o combate 1:41 na primeira rolda.

 

“Só quería entrar alí e mostrarlles aos fans e a todo o mundo que as mulleres poden loitar,” Dixo Serrano. “Tamén temos talento. O ceo é o límite. Quero máis cintos. Vou baixar a 122 libras e converterme nun campión do mundo de catro divisións como Miguel Cotto.”

 

Os campións do mundo peso pluma Lee Selby e Gary Russell Jr. foron entrevistados por SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® anfitrión Brian Custer durante o SHOWTIME® televisionar. Vexa a continuación os extractos de citas:

 

Lee Selby: “Mira, non é a miña natureza chamar a ninguén. Pero sei que estes mozos buscan loitar contra min, polo que aceptarei a oferta coas mans abertas. Na preparación desta loita, Leo Santa Cruz di que tamén vai loitar contra min. Así, Acepto os dous retos".

 

Gary Russell Jr: "Quero todo o anterior. Quero abordar algo que dixo Lee Selby. Dixo que ninguén sabe quen é Gary Russell. Ben, todo o mundo sabe quen é o campión do peso pluma do CMB, e é o Sr. Gary Russell. Os dous somos homes e espero que te comportes como un home. Non use isto como unha saída para evitar loitar contra min".

 

Lee Selby: "Podo aclarar. De volta a casa, Carl Frampton é un nome enorme. Unha loita entre el e eu sería máis grande, iso era o que dicía”.

 

Gary Russell Jr: “Mira, Gústame o cinto IBF. Quero engadilo á miña colección. E en canto a Leo Santa Cruz, quere vingar a perda que lle dei en afeccionados. Así, eu e Leo, podemos facelo posible".

 

A transmisión de SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING volverá emitirse Luns, Agosto. 1 en 11 p.m. E/PT. Reemitirase a emisión de SHOWTIME BOXING en SHO EXTREME Mércores, Agosto. 3 en 11:05 p.m. E/PT.

Aquí está o que os participantes tiñan que dicir Martes:
LEO SANTA CRUZ
“O meu soño é ser a próxima gran cousa no boxeo. Imos traballar duro todos os días no ximnasio, aprender dos nosos erros e mellorar para que eu poida ser o mellor loitador que hai. Coa axuda dos afeccionados e dos medios creo que podo logralo.
“Ten grandes habilidades, grandes golpes e móvese moi ben. Vai ser unha loita dura para min pero vou traballar moito para defender o meu cinto.
“Vexo a Frampton como alguén que intenta vir e quitarlle todo o que traballei duro. Non podo deixar que isto suceda. Vou facer o que teño que facer para conseguir a vitoria.
“É un loitador moi hábil. Ten un gran poder e creo que vai ser unha loita emocionante. Estes son os tipos cos que quero loitar. Dáme aínda máis motivación para entrar no ximnasio e adestrar duro.
“Coñezo a Mikey García desde os tempos dos afeccionados e as nosas familias pelexaron entre elas. Incluso adestrai con Robert García antes. Ver a outro gran loitador mexicano ir a Nova York é moi emocionante. Estou moi feliz por el. É un gran rapaz e un gran loitador.
“Creo que Frampton manterá o seu poder nas clases de peso. Xa non podía gañar 122 libras e dixo que esta vez será aínda máis forte. Iso é bo. Iso é o que quero. Quero que se sinta ben, así que será unha loita dura e entretida.
“Non podo deixar que veña aos Estados Unidos. e conseguir esta vitoria. Imos saír alí e ver se pode sacar o mellor de min. Vou estar preparado ao cen por cento.
“Estou cómodo con 126 libras. Quero conseguir esta vitoria contra Carl Frampton e despois unirme contra Gary Russell Jr., Lee Selby ou calquera dos campións. Cando o meu corpo estea listo subiremos de peso para buscar outro título mundial.
“Cando comecei a boxear o único que pensei foi ser campión do mundo unha vez. Despois, despois de chegar alí, comecei a impulsar os meus obxectivos. Se sigo aprendendo e mellorando como loitador, Podería chegar ata 140 libras.
“Estou encantado de loitar en Nova York. Vai ser a miña primeira vez por aí. Estou emocionado de coñecer novos fans. A xente que desexaba que loitase en Nova York poderá verme. Hai xente que non me coñece e esta a miña oportunidade de ser impresionante e darlles un espectáculo.”
Mikey GARCIA
“Son un loitador completo. Podo axustarme a case calquera estilo. Recibo moitos sparrings diversos para poder axustarme a todo o que poida aportar Rojas. O campo de adestramento foi moi ben e creo que vai ser unha boa noite para min.
“Xa vin antes a Rojas. Vino cando era campión. É un bo loitador con moita experiencia. Definitivamente pode boxear e ten unha boa man dereita. Perdeu o seu título ante un gran campión. É moi hábil e con experiencia.
“Os dous somos boxeadores e adoitamos intentar traballar a distancia. Esta vez quizais teña que buscar un pouco máis a loita e aplicar algo de presión. Se tenta boxear, atopareino. Creo que o meu poder acabará por ser a diferenza e vouno romper.
“Non creo que haxa ferruxe do anel porque nunca estiven fóra do ring. Estiven todo o tempo no ximnasio, sparring e adestramento. Eu espallaría 10 ou 12 rounds, só para facelo. Non porque tivera unha pelexa, pero só para manterme activo. Sei que parece moito tempo, pero realmente non o vexo. Sinto que fora seis meses.
“Quero loitar contra 135 e loitar por un título alí. Vou ver como se sente o meu corpo despois desta loita, pero ese é o plan ata agora. Non miramos máis alá de Elio. Definitivamente quero volver ao ring pronto se todo vai ben.
“Non me arrepinto. Teño que gozar máis do que tiven na última 10 anos. Cando estás no boxeo, é un deporte durante todo o ano. Non tes tempo para ti, para a túa familia ou amigos. Perdes moito. No meu tempo aprendín moito sobre boxeo e moito máis.
“Isto acabará sendo un campo de adestramento de sete semanas, pero aínda antes estiven no ximnasio. Non me sinto diferente. Síntome ao cen por cento. O meu corpo está ben descansado o que me fai máis fame e máis motivado.
“Loitei en Nova York antes e sempre foi un público xenial e moi solidario. Estiven no Barclays Center por primeira vez en xuño 25 para Thurman-Porter e foi unha gran area. Tiña unha gran enerxía e non podo esperar para loitar alí. Non podo esperar para loitar no Barclays.
“É xenial estar no ximnasio con todos estes diferentes tipos de loitadores que adestra o meu irmán. Teño moito combate moi intenso. Tiven a oportunidade de aprender realmente dos diferentes estilos e definitivamente axúdame.”
IVAN REDKACH
“Esta é unha loita excelente para min. Achégome a un título e vou estar preparado Xullo 30.
“Teño un plan para esta loita. Verás no ring. Vou facer desta loita emocionante.
“A loita polo título é a miña motivación, pero o meu centro céntrase plenamente Xullo 30. Todo o que fixen é levar a unha loita polo título mundial.
“Sei que o meu opoñente é hábil e moi rápido. É un bo boxeador pero veremos o que trae ao ring.
“Este é o meu primeiro campamento con Leo Santa Cruz e o seu equipo e vai moi ben. Síntome moi preparado para loitar.”
ANTONIO SANTA CRUZ, Irmán de Leo & Adestrador
“Este campamento séntese moi preto do mesmo que de costume. Meu pai (Jose) adoita ser quen nos di que facer. Estou no ring con Leo pero el segue aí. Está enfermo pero aínda vai ao ximnasio. Quere estar alí para Leo.
“Frampton é un bo loitador. Vai darlle unha boa loita ao meu irmán. Os rapaces baixos son máis difíciles para Leo, así que estamos a asegurarnos de ter combate con loitadores de todas as alturas. Frampton non será difícil de entrar pero a súa altura pode supoñer un problema.
“É un pouco máis de presión sobre min. Estou tentando mostrar ao meu pai que podo aprender e axudar a Leo a estar no seu mellor momento. Creo que vai pasar unha gran noite.”
JOSE SANTA CRUZ, O pai de Leo & Adestrador
“Eu me sinto ben. Agora mesmo vou ao ximnasio todos os días. Leo vese ben no ring e adestra moi ben.
“Pouco a pouco Antonio vai aprendendo e ata eu sigo aprendendo. Os dous estamos mellorando como adestradores e ese é o noso obxectivo, ser xenial. Sinto o amor dos meus fillos e tamén os quero moito. Estou orgulloso deles e estou orgulloso de que sexan os meus fillos.
“Leo está moi tranquilo. Non creo que Leo se vaia afectar viaxar a Nova York. Aínda que non teña a maioría dos seguidores, Non creo que lle afecte.
“Nunca se sabe como vai ser a noite de loita. Podes prepararte no ximnasio, pero ás veces, unha vez que esteas no ring, unha pelexa pode complicarse.
“Aínda que non podo chegar a Nova York, Vou ver a loita. Aínda que sexa cun ollo aberto, Vou ver.”
ROBERT GARCIA, Irmán de Mikey & Adestrador
“Mikey definitivamente quere gañar un título en 135 libras. Hai bos campións por aí, pero non necesariamente un gran nome. Finalmente, Mikey querería subir ata 140 libras onde creo que hai moitas pelexas emocionantes que se poderían facer.
“Elio é un loitador que estivo fóra por un tempo e é un ex campión do mundo. Tamén está tentando volver e facer unha declaración. Temos que estar preparados para que o rival estea no máis alto do seu xogo.
“Agora que ten unha cita e co adestramento e o sparring, Mikey estivo moi ben. Hai tempo. Podemos ver un pouco de ferruxe, un pouco de axuste ao tempo. Pero como estivo no ximnasio, contra loitadores de primeira calidade, estivo tan ben que non me estrañaría que fixera unha das súas mellores actuacións.”

BROOKLYN (Xuño 28, 2016)—Undefeated former two-division world champion Mikey Garcia will return to the ring after a two-and-a-half-year layoff on Sábado, Xullo 30 on an exciting night of boxing on ALTURA DE COMEZAR e Showtime EXTREME that is one of the strongest cards ever assembled at Barclays Centro en Brooklyn.

 

Garcia, who won world titles at featherweight and super featherweight, will fight former world champion Elio Rojas in a 10-round bout in the Showtime Championship Boxing co-feature of the Leo Santa Cruz vs. Carl Frampton event presented by Premier Boxing Champions (PBC).

 

No combate inaugural do Showtime Championship Boxing telecast that begins at 9 p.m. E/6 p.m. PT, once-beaten 154-pound contenders Tony Harrison e Sergey Rabchenko will meet in a 12-round IBF Junior Middleweight Eliminator. Harrison and Rabchenko will square off for the No. 2 mandatory challenger spot to IBF titlist Jermall Charlo, who successfully defended his crown on Maio 21, and undefeated contender Julian Williams, who earned the No. 1 mandatory position on Marzo 5, both on SHOWTIME. Harrison vs. Rabchenko is the sixth matchup in 2016 between top 154-pound fighters, a lineup showcasing three world title fights and three title elimination matches in one of boxing’s deepest divisions.

 

The combined record of the six fighters on the SHOWTIME telecast is an impressive 162-4-1 con 113 nocautes.

 

An all-Brooklyn showdown between welterweight technicians Paulie "Magic Man" Malignaggi e Gabriel “Tito” Bracero highlights the undercard action on SHOWTIME BOXING on SHOWTIME EXTREME. The 10-round bout is a matchup between a former two-division world champion, Malignaggi, and a fellow Brooklyn native, Bracero, coming off the biggest win of his career when he knocked out Danny O'Connor outubro do ano pasado.

 

Un choque de 10 xornadas entre lixeiros unha vez vencidos Ivan Redkach e raias Tevin Fazendeiro, un gañador 14 recto, will open the SHOWTIME EXTREME telecast live at 7 p.m. E/PT.

 

O Xullo 30 event at Barclays Center comes on the heels of last Saturday’s potential Fight of the Year thriller between Keith Thurman e Shawn Porter, a back-and-forth slugfest that generated the top grossing live gate and second-highest attended boxing event in venue history.

 

“This is the strongest card from top to bottom that I have promoted at Barclays Center,” said DiBella Entertainment President Lou DiBella. “Every single fight is significant and competitive, and this is a great follow up from the tremendous success that boxing had with Thurman-Porter this past weekend.”

 

“This will be our 19th evento de boxeo, but from top to bottom it’s arguably our best card yet,” said Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment CEO Brett Yormark. “We are excited to welcome undefeated Santa Cruz and Frampton to Brooklyn for the first time, a fight that could rival Barclays Center’s epic Thurman-Porter bout for Fight of the Year. It’s also a pleasure to welcome Brooklyn’s own Paulie Malignaggi back to Barclays Center for the fifth time and to host the return of Mikey Garcia after a two and a half year hiatus. Xullo 30 is going to be another big night for BROOKLYN BOXING.”

 

“We are excited to be part of Mikey Garcia’s return to the ring. Before the layoff, he was a two-division world champion and considered one of the top boxers in the world. We know he is determined to reclaim his place among the elite,", Dixo Stephen Espinoza, Vicepresidente Executivo & Director Xeral, Showtime Sports. “SHOWTIME has distinguished itself by delivering the most compelling matchups and the most important events in boxing all year long. There is no other network as committed to the sport, eo Xullo 30 evento, from top-to-bottom, is a prime example.”

 

Mikey GARCIA vs. ELIO ROJAS

“I expect to pick up right where I left off,” Garcia told SHOWTIME Sports reporter Jim Gray last Saturday on CBS. “I was a world champion, I was undefeated, and I still am. I didn’t leave because I was injured. I think I’ll come back even better. I’m hungrier now than I was before.

 

“I just have to get one fight in. This first fight with Elio (Rojas) will be somewhere between 135 e 140 libras, but I want to fight at 135 and win a title there. I want to win a title there and keep going after champion after champion. Now that all that (uncertainty) is behind me I look forward to the next stage of my career. This next stage of my career will be what people remember me for.”

 

“Mikey Garcia is a great fighter,", dixo Rojas. “I want to thank him for this opportunity. We are both former WBC World Champions and I expect a great fight. Con todo, all of the talk surrounding this fight has been about Mikey’s comeback and his future plans. I am no tune-up. This is also about me coming back and fighting again. He may be looking past me, but I am fully focused on him and securing the victory. I will do whatever I have to do to win, so I can move on and regain my world championship.”

 

Garcia (34-0, 28 Kos), de Ventura, Calif., is 28-years-old and in the prime of his career. Once considered one of the top young boxers pound-for-pound in the world, he will make his first ring appearance since he retained the WBO 130-pound title with a 12-round unanimous decision overJuan Carlos Burgos en Xan. 25, 2014. Garcia, the brother of renowned trainer Robert Garcia, has been victorious by knockout in 10 da súa última 12 fights and holds impressive victories overRoman “Rocky” Martinez, Juan Manuel López, Orlando Salido e Bernabe Concepcion.

 

Rojas (24-2, 14 Kos), of San Francisco de Macoris, República Dominicana, won the WBC featherweight world championship in 2009 with a 12-round unanimous decision over defending titleholder Takahiro Ao en Xapón. The 33-year-old successfully defended the title against Guty Espadas Jr. en 2010, before losing the belt via unanimous decision to Jhonny Gonzalez en abril 2012. Since the loss to Gonzalez, Rojas moved up to lightweight, onde derrotou Robert Osiobe en agosto 2014.

 

TONY HARRISON vs. SERGEY RABCHENKO:

“I’m thrilled to return to the ring on this big stage for my first fight in Brooklyn, and I’m ready to put on a show,"Dixo Harrison. “Fighting for a world title is my dream and I know that I have a challenge in front of me. I’m working hard in camp to get another knockout and to make my mark on the division.”

 

“This is the start of realizing my dream,” Rabchenko said. “America is the Mecca of boxing so it is a huge privilege for me to be asked to fight there. American fans like to see knockouts and I like to knock people out so I think they will like what they see. I think I can build a fan base there. I am hungrier than ever. I have not seen much of Harrison, but I am ready for anyone. People say he is a very good fighter with good power. I’m not worried. I have good power as well and I think I will have too much for him.”

 

Con só 25 anos de idade, Harrison (23-1, 19 Kos) has showed tremendous promise. He manufactured a 10-fight knockout streak from 2013 para 2015 and proved he could recover from a loss when he dominated Cecil McCalla para 10 rounds in October 2015 e deixou Fernando Guerreiro in impressive fashion in March.

 

Fighting out of Belaraus, Rabchenko (27-1, 20 Kos) is looking to put himself squarely into world title contention when he makes his U.S. estrearase no Xullo 30. The 30-year-old is coming off stoppage victories over Walter Calvo en maio 2015 and Miguel Aguilar in February.

 

Showtime EXTREME:

 

PAULIE MALIGNAGGI vs. GABRIEL bracero:

“I feel truly blessed to have yet another opportunity to fight in Brooklyn,", dixo Malignaggi. “I have known Tito a long time and I know he always comes to fight. We will give the Brooklyn fans a great appetizer before the terrific main event later that night in Barclays Center.”

 

“I’m looking to make a statement by winning this fight,” said Bracero. “Paulie and I have been friends since the amateurs and I’m thankful to have this opportunity, but he’s had his run. Now it’s time for me to have mine. This fight is going to change my life.”

 

Un ex-campión do mundo en 140 e 147 libras-, the 35-year-old Malignaggi (35-7, 7 Kos) will return to the ring to fight at Barclays Center for the fifth time. He has faced a slew of big names throughout his career and has been victorious over the likes of Zab Judah, Vyacheslav Senchenko e Pablo Cesar Cano. Nacido e creado no barrio de Bensonhurst de Brooklyn, “The Magic Man” was victorious twice fighting in his birth country of Italy last year after unsuccessfully challenging unbeaten Danny Garcia en agosto.

 

Another Brooklyn-native, Bracero (24-2, 5 Kos) comes off of a sensational one-punch knockout of rival Danny O'Connor in their rematch last October. The 35-year-old owns victories over Dmitry Salita e Pavel Miranda in addition to his first triumph over the previously unbeaten O’Connor in 2011.

 

IVAN REDKACH vs. GRANXERO DE TEVIN:

“I am extremely happy to be back in the ring on a big show in New York,” Redkach said. “There are so many Ukrainian fans in New York and I am thrilled to have their support and will put on a great show for them. I want to thank Leo Santa Cruz and his team for having me in their camp as we both prepare ourselves to put on tremendous performances come Xullo 30."

 

“I couldn’t be more excited about this fight,", dixo Farmer. “This is my Barclays Center debut and it is going to be a spectacular performance. I have called out anyone and everyone in the 130- pound division to no avail, so now I’m moving up to 135 to take on Redkach, one of the most feared punchers in the division. Redkach is an aggressive guy and I know he is coming to fight, but there is no way I leave that ring without my hand being raised. This is a fight where I can and I will make a major statement. I’m willing to fight whoever they put in front of me to inch closer to a world title opportunity and Xullo 30 is another step in that direction. I tip my hat off to Redkach for giving me this fight, but this is my time to shine.”

 

Nacido en Ucraína, pero loitando fóra dos Ánxeles, Redk (19-1-1, 15 Kos) began boxing at the age of six and has put together an impressive career since turning pro in 2009. The 30-year-old owns victories over Tony Luís, Sergey Gulyakevich e Yakubu Amidu. Máis recentemente, Redkach knocked out Erick Daniel Martinez en outubro 2015 and fought to a draw with Luís Cruz en abril.

 

Representing the fighting city of Philadelphia, Labrego (24-1-1, 5 Kos) gañou 14 bouts in a row since losing to unbeaten world champion Jose Pedraza en 2012. The 25-year-old has come on strong in recent years, upsetting previously unbeaten fighters such as Emmanuel Gonzalez, Angel Luna e Camilo Perez. Farmer dominated veteran Gamaliel Diaz in March and will make his Barclays Center debut on Xullo 30.

Undefeated and number-one ranked Julian “J Rocha” Williams ready for Jermall Charlo next

Leave a comment

PHILADELPHIA (MAIO 31, 2016)–En maio 21, three of the four world championships in the hot junior middleweight division were contested as Erislandy Lara defended his WBA title with a unanimous decision over Vanes Martirosyan; Jermall Charlo defended his IBF title with a unanimous decision over former champion Austin Trout and Jermell Charlo scored a come-from-behind stoppage over John Jackson to capture the WBC belt.
Sitting ringside was IBF number-one ranked contender, invicto Juliano “J Rocha”Williams. Williams was a very interested observer and was interviewed on the ALTURA DE COMEZAR® broadcast with his thoughts on the happenings of the evening.
“Jermell did his thing. I thought he was losing but Jermell has a clutch gene. He comes through in close fights. He knows what it’s like to be in tough. He’s doing well under Derrick James. He looked better on TV than he did live at the fight. He was losing but he was walking Jackson down. The sand was running out of the hour glass for Jackson. Jermell can punch better than his record indicates. And that style would be better for him because people always called him boring but it was nothing boring about the KO,” dixo Williams.
“Lara did what he always does. He boxed and moved and he won.”

” I honestly didn’t think Trout would last with Jermall. I was surprised at how competitive that fight was. Jermall has every advantage over Trout on paper but fights aren’t won on paper. Trout proved something. I was actually going to congratulate him but I heard him say to Jermall “smack J Rock for me”. I don’t know what’s up with these guys. He had a chance to fight me for a whole year and he asked another man to smack me. But that’s old news Trout is out of the picture.”

With that being, said the undefeated fighter from Philadelphia is focused in bring back the hardware back to the “City of Brotherly Love.”
“My focus is on Jermall Charlo. Vai ser unha gran loita. I think he’s a heck of a fighter. This is legacy defining. This is a real number-one contender against a real champion. This is a real mandatory. This is like Bernard Hopkins having to defend against Jermain Taylor. Or Jermain Taylor having to defend against Kelly Pavlik. Or Felix Trinidad having to fight Oba Carr. This is a real fight and I’m excited. I’m excited to test my skills against one of the best young fighters in the game.
Malia, Williams was ringside, he just wanted to observe and take mental notes of the perspective future opponents.

“I didn’t get in the ring like Charles Hatley did because that’s not my style. Hatley is a talented fighter. I remember him from the amateurs but to each his own. Jermall and Jermell deserve respect and most importantly I know the difference between the two brothers. Hatley got in the ring with Jermall who has to fight me, instead of Jermell who has to fight him. That was Jermall’s moment to shine he had just won a tough fight. Everybody knows he has to fight me. There would be no need for me to get in the ring.”

Even though Williams has been avoided, the powers that be in boxing can not keep Williams from realizing his dreams, and that opportunity will be coming sooner rather than later.

“From my understanding we have to come to an agreement in June. I believe in the IBF. They seem to enforce their mandatory bouts. The IBF did not rank me number-one, not to have me fight for their belt. Jermall said making weight wasn’t that bad. He hired a chef. I know he’s prideful. El é un campión. He feels he’s better than me, I feel I’m better than him. There is only one way to prove it. Let’s fight.”

I can’t get into details but I believe the fight will be in September as the co- main to a BIG card. I’m super excited to finally get this opportunity.
