CARSON, KALIFORNIE. (Červenec 4, 2021) - Neporažený stoupající hvězda Chris „Primetime“ Colbert cruised to a unanimous decision victory over Tugststogt Nyambayar Saturday night to retain his Interim WBA Super Featherweight title in the main event of action live on SHOWTIME from Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Kalif. in a Premier Boxing Champions event.

The 24-year-old Colbert (16-0, 6 KO) rode a dominant jab to victory as he landed 112 across the 12 rounds according to CompuBox, buoying a 218 na 78 výhoda v úderech přistála. The Brooklyn-native used the jab to set up a variety of effective power punches that he was able to land from orthodox and southpaw stances.

“Měli jsme skvělý tréninkový kemp,” said Colbert. “We sparred a lot with a bigger guy in Michel Rivera, so I had a lot of practice using my speed and jab in camp. The jab is always a key in this sport.”

Mongolia’s Nyambayar (12-2, 9 KO), který nyní bojuje z Los Angeles, stepped in to fight Colbert on less than two weeks’ notice, replacing former champion Yuriorkis Gamboa after he suffered a training camp injury. Nyambayar had successful moments in his 130-pound debut, with Colbert even noting the Olympic silver medalist’s power, but he was unable to keep up a sustained attack or keep the busier Colbert from controlling the tempo.

He carried power for a 126-pounder,” said Colbert. “Boxing is about hitting and not getting hit. I had to use my Muhammad Ali tactics and float like a butterfly and sting like a bee. This was a great fight and ‘Tugdid a great job coming in off only a week and a half of training for me. I take off my hat to him and wish him nothing but the best in his career.

Colbert rode his versatile offensive arsenal to a big advantage on the scorecards and statistically, dominating Nyambayar in punches landed as he connected on 106 power punches to 78 total punches landed by Nyambayar. Po 12 kola, the judges’ scores confirmed Colbert’s dominance, as he won the decision with scores of 117-111 a 118-110 dvakrát.

“I’m number one in the WBA,” said Colbert. “So you know what time it is. I’m going to follow the plan and see what happens next.”

V co-hlavní události, rising lightweight contender Michel Rivera (21-0, 14 KO) scored a highlight-reel knockout over Jon Fernandez (21-2, 18 KO) in the eighth round of their WBA Lightweight Title Eliminator.

“I’m so excited and beyond happy to get this win,"Řekl Rivera. “Fernández was a strong, experienced opponent that forced me to change the game plan I had going in.”

An unbeaten Dominican fighter who now trains in Miami, Rivera seemed to take control of the action in round four, as he began to find a home for the straight right hand that would eventually end the fight. The tables turned momentarily in round six however, as Fernandez connected with a clean right hand to the head that put Rivera on the canvas for the first time in his career.

“I knew since the first round that I would have to be careful with him,"Řekl Rivera. “He had heavy hands and was taller than me, but I was faster and more skilled overall.”

The 23-year-old was able to weather the storm brought by the Spaniard Fernandez and made it through the round despite the knockdown. After regaining his momentum in the seventh round, Rivera broke through with a decisive right hand that crumpled Fernandez early in the eighth, prompting referee Jack Reiss to wave off the bout 44 seconds in the frame. Rivera held an 87 na 76 výhoda v úderech přistála, and connected on 37% jeho moci razníků, ve srovnání s 27% from Fernandez.

“I want the fight with Rolando Romero next,"Řekl Rivera. “Once I do face him, I would like to go up against Gervonta Davis or Teofimo López.”

Before the night of fights, SHOWTIME host Brian Custer interviewed Bellator MMA No. 1-ranked Featherweight contender A.J. McKee, who will face current champion Patricio Pitbull in the Bellator MMA Featherweight World Grand Prix final on July 31 na fóru v Los Angeles.
McKee interview: https://twitter.com/SHOsports/status/1411527740646465537

“I am going to go out there and dig into my bag of tricks and I am going to shock the world,” McKee said. “He’s done a lot for the sport and he has been my target for a long time, ever since I started to come up. I’ve been calling his name for 17 fights and it is time now to get it on.”

Asked if this fight was for the No. 1 spot on the Bellator pound-for-pound list, McKee said: “Definitely. Hands down. This fight is for the pound-for-pound best, cítím, ve světě. Na 145 liber, there’s not too many guys that can stop myself or Pitbull.”

McKee added: “This is not going the distance. Stylisticky, it’s a bad match up for him. Nothing personal but my style is not a good match up for him…. I have to stay long, keep positioning and my feet. Distance is a big part of this fight. And catching him on the angle.”

CARSON, KALIFORNIE. (Červenec 1, 2021) – Unbeaten Interim WBA Super Featherweight Champion Chris „Primetime“ Colbert a tvrdě dorážejícího uchazeče Tugstsogt “King Tug” Nyambayar faced off Thursday at the final press conference before they meet in the main event of action live on SHOWTIME this Saturday, Červenec 3 in a Premier Boxing Champions event from Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Kalif.

Also featured at Thursday’s press conference were unbeaten rising star Michel Rivera and lightweight contender Jon Fernández, who square off in the co-main event of the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast that begins at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.

Chcete-li otevřít televizní vysílání, SHOWTIME will air a special replay of last Saturday night’s exciting pay-per-view main event fight between Gervonta Davis and Mario Barrios.

Akci pořádá TGB Promotions. Vstupenky jsou nyní v prodeji a lze je zakoupit na AXS.com.

Zde je to, co bojovníci museli říci čtvrtek:

CHRIS COLBERT

“I was going to knock [Yuriorkis] Gamboa out cold, and now ‘King Tug’ has to take the knockout.

“My hard work is finally paying off. All I have to do is stay focused, jednoúčelový, and disciplined, and then I’ll be the face of boxing in a couple of years.

“This venue is really known for wars. Come Saturday night I’m definitely going to bring the heat.

“I’m ready for this fight. Nyambayar knows he’s in for trouble on Saturday. Nobody out there can take a fight with me on a week-and-half notice and not be in for trouble.

“Me and Michel Rivera got a lot of rounds in together during training down in Miami. We did a great job all camp and I’m just ready and excited to get in the ring.

“I’ve been knocking out everyone they put in front me. They still don’t give me the respect I deserve yet. I just have to keep doing my thing on Saturday night and embarrass him.

“I can’t tell you if he’s my toughest opponent yet. I know that he’s not beating me, and that’s a promise. There’s no way a 126-pounder will come up in weight and beat me.

“He’s a fighter with only one loss, he can come back from that. But it’s not going to matter on Saturday night. He’s supposed to be confident in himself. He can’t say he’s going to get washed Saturday, but that’s what is going to happen.

“I appreciate ‘Tug’ for taking the fight, but Saturday night I’m going to get in there, dominate and beat him up. This is a Nissan vs. a Lamborghini, and I’m the Lambo.

“I agree that ‘King Tug’ might be better opposition than Yuriorkis Gamboa would have been. But it doesn’t matter if it was Gamboa, ‘King Tug’, or Arnold Schwarzenegger in there with me, it was always going to be the same outcome on Saturday night.

“My hair is orange this week as a dedication to the cause of fighting Multiple sclerosis. One of my friends, Dave, back in New Jersey has it and he told me his story of how he was paralyzed as a kid and also had MS. Then I saw him on the Stairmaster in the gym the next day for like an hour. I saw that and realized there’s no excuses I can make for not being in the gym. I do the different hair colors to make people feel special. I want them to know that I’m fighting for them.

“Nobody in the 130-pound division can beat me. I’m going to continue to prove that every time I step into the ring. I’m going to deliver a dominating performance. Don’t be surprised when I stop him.

“I don’t think this is going past 10 kola. I’m going to keep proving that I have power on Saturday night. I’m not discrediting his skills, but I’m just different.”

TUGSTSOGT NYAMBAYA

“I’m really excited for this fight. It’s my first fight at 130 pounds and I want to show what I can do. I’m ready for this opportunity.

“Just know this, we are here to win. My team is here to win. I’m ready for Chris Colbert. To je to.

“I don’t care that I’m fighting on short notice at a higher weight. věřím v sebe. Můžu bojovat 122, Můžu bojovat 126 and I can fight at 130.

“Two weeks’ notice is enough for me. If I didn’t take the fight, Colbert wouldn’t have a fight. So he should be thankful. Let’s see what happens. I’m going to whoop his ass.

“I believe in my speed and I believe in my power. věřím v sebe. I just want to test myself. This is a good opportunity versus a good fighter.”

“I don’t think that he can stop me. Watch me on Saturday night. Jsem připraven.

“I’m not worried about anything he says. I’m just focused on the sight. I really believe in myself and that I’m going to hurt him on Saturday night.

“Colbert has similar speed compared to Gary Russell Jr., so it’s not going to be anything I haven’t seen before. The adjustments from the Russell fight have been made in the gym over time.

“I’m very happy to be fighting at Dignity Health Sports Park because Los Angeles is my second home. It’s very exciting to be fighting here and with a crowd there watching. The Mongolian fans are going to show up on Saturday.”

MICHEL RIVERA

“I had a good camp and I have a good team, led by Herman Caicedo who is my coach along with Jukka Toivola. I know that this is a good opportunity and I worked so hard for this fight. I’m so excited for July 3 and I know that this is my chance to show I’m great and to shine.

“Jon Fernandez is a good boxer and he’s a good puncher. I don’t know much about him, but I know that he’s Spanish and he’s a tall guy. He hits hard but I’m in the type of condition to be great in this fight.

“I’m sure that on July 3 when people are watching the fight, they will see who the best boxer is. I’m ready for everything. If he wants to fight instead of box, I will fight too. I have the skills. I believe that I am faster than him. I don’t have problems with his height. You can see in my past fights where I was fighting at 144, and I looked good with big boxers too. I don’t have a problem with it. Everybody will have to tune in July 3 na SHOWTIME, and they will see Michel Rivera beating Jon Fernandez.

“I’ve been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. I’m Dominican, and in the Dominican Republic you don’t get much opportunity. I came here and I am making my name. Everybody will know that I’m ready to fight the top names at 135 – the best boxers. I have the skills and the talent. I’m young and I’m pretty, také.

“It’s good that he sounds confident. I am confident too. That makes for a great war. He has a lot of knockouts, but they weren’t against any boxers like me. Jsem soustředěný. Jak už jsem řekl,, je to dobrý boxer, but I’m better. I’m trusting my talent and I’m trusting my condition.

“My perspective remains the same after this press conference. Fernandez is a proud fighter and I expect nothing less than what he said. I’m also a proud fighter and I’m convinced that I’m better than him. I consider myself better prepared and ready to be considered one of the top boxers in the 135-pound division.

“Training with Chris Colbert was a great experience, and the sparring sessions were awesome. He made me better, just like I made him better. Je to skvělý člověk. My fellow Dominican fighter Jeison Rosario wished me luck and told me he knows I’m going to be a world champion someday, and that he will be supporting me and watching the fight from the Dominican Republic.

“Of course I believe that I am the next world champion from the Dominican Republic. I can beat all of the top boxers, the top five, in the 135-pound division. I want to make my name at 135 because I know this is a strong division now. I want everybody to know me at this weight.

“I promise a good fight. Everybody will see the next superstar in the ring on July 3.”

JON FERNANDEZ

“I’m very excited to be here for this fight. Training camp in Madrid and Mexico have been great. We’ve had an outstanding preparation. I’m facing a great opponent in Michel Rivera, but this is the door I need to open to be in the big leagues of boxing. I don’t plan on missing out on this chance.

“I’m glad he’s confident in his abilities, but I think this is a 50-50 zápas. It’s going to be a great fight and we’re definitely on the same level. There’s no difference in skill levels. I’m going to use my height and show off my boxing ability on Saturday night.

“Rivera is a very good boxer, and has many skills, but I believe that I have equal skills and more power. If I get the opening, I can knock Rivera out.

“I promise that we’re going to put on a great show and deliver fireworks in the ring. My hand will be raised when the fight is over.

“There’s nothing like fighting in Los Angeles. I have already been here before, but nothing can compare to being in the big show.

“Everyone in Spain is supporting me. My city of Bilbao has sent me all its love and they believe in me 100%. Even some famous soccer players have reached out to me. Players from Athletic Bilbao and (former Spain national team striker) Fernando Torres.

“I would like to win in order to open the door for other Spaniard boxers who come behind me and relish this opportunity – like my brother Eker, who is about to make his professional debut. I want to make him proud and put Spain on the map as far as boxing is concerned.

“If I win, it’s not just because of my power. It’s going to be a close fight, but I’m going to give everything I have to come out with the victory.”

Reprezentuje svůj rodný Brooklyn, New York, Colbert (15-0, 6 KO) rychle vystřelila na žebříček 130 liber, ve své první soutěži na vysoké úrovni 15 Pro boje. Již etablovaný jako bojovník s oslnivými boxerskými schopnostmi, Colbert showcased his ability to fight toe-to-toe in his last outing, as he stopped hard-hitting Jaime Arboleda in round 11 of their December 2020 clash. The 24-year-old turned pro in 2015 and beat three unbeaten fighters in his first eight contests. Před bojem v Arboledě, Colbert scored a highlight-reel first round knockout against Miguel Beltran Jr. v září 2019 and a dominant 12-round decision victory over former champion Jezreel Corrales in January 2020.

“I’m very excited to be back in the ring on July 4 weekend,” said Colbert. “I get to set off my fireworks on SHOWTIME the night before. We’re taking this one to Dignity Health Sports Park in California, but I know I’ll have my New York family behind me. This is just another day, another dollar. I have a job to do, and that’s to get the win by any means necessary, but I’m looking to dominate. I expect Nyambayar to bring his A-game though because he knows he’ll be in there with a monster. I may not be the biggest puncher in the world, but I know how to finish a guy and get him out of there, and on July 3 that’s exactly what I’ll be looking to do.”

The 28-year-old Nyambayar (12-1, 9 KO) won a silver medal representing his native Mongolia in the 2012 Olympics and now lives in Southern California, where he’s trained by John Pullman. Nyambayar ascended the featherweight rankings after his extensive amateur career with victories over then unbeaten Harmonito Dela Torre and former interim champion Oscar Escandon. He earned his first world title shot when he defeated former champion Claudio Marrero in January 2019, before dropping his championship bout against long-reigning WBC Featherweight Champion Gary Russell Jr. v únoru 2020. Ahead of his super featherweight debut on July 3, the WBC’s second-ranked featherweight Nyambayar most recently handed Cobia Breedy his first loss by scoring two knockdowns and eventually earning the decision in September 2020.

“When I got the call about this fight, I jumped at the opportunity,” said Nyambayar. “I can’t wait to compete. I was born for fights like this. I’m going to leave it all in the ring and give the fans a great show on July 3.”

Narodil se v Santo Domingu, Dominican Republic and now fighting out of Miami, Rivera (20-0, 13 KO) burst onto the scene in 2019 dělat jeho U.S. debut with a victory over Juan Rene Tellez. The 23-year-old continued his ascent in 2020, adding a stoppage win against Fidel Maldonado Jr. and a unanimous decision triumph against lightweight contender LaDarius Miller. V poslední době, Rivera stepped back into the ring to knock out Anthony Mercado in February of this year.

“I can’t wait to be showcasing my skills once again on July 3,” said Rivera. “Fernández will be bringing his A-game and that’s exactly what I want. My coach Herman Caicedo and I have been zeroing in on the best approach to this fight and I’m excited to execute it. Jon is a rough and tough fighter and probably the best fighter I’ve faced to this point and I’m looking forward to the challenge. I know that I will be fighting for a world title soon, so I’m just staying focused and disciplined until that time comes.”

The 25-year-old Fernández (21-1, 18 KO) enters this bout on a five-fight winning streak following his only career blemish, a decision loss to O’Shaquie Foster in 2018 naShoBox: Nová generace. A native of Bilbao, Španělsko, Fernández will fight in the U.S. for the fourth time on July 3. Fernández has been mentored by boxing great Sergio Martinez and will look to put himself back in position for a world title against Rivera. Ve svém posledním zápase, Fernández knocked out Aristides Perez in the first-round of their February 2020 clash.

“The fans are going to enjoy this fight with Rivera very much,” said Fernández. “Both of us are going to give our all in the ring for the opportunity to become a champion. This is the kind of fight that boxing is all about. Our division is full of great fighters, so you need to fight the best to be the best. My training is going very well and I believe that at this moment, I am in the prime of my career.”

Rodák z Brooklynu, Hitchins (12-0, 5 KO) Profesionálem v 2017 after representing Haiti at the 2016 Olympijské hry. The 23-year-old has flashed impressive skills as he’s amassed an unbeaten record in the pro ranks, which is the product of an extensive amateur career. V jeho poslední výlet, Hitchins scored a career-best victory, as he earned a decision over former world champion Argenis Mendez. Hitchins has increased his competition in winning 10-round decisions in his last three fights.

“After my last fight in December, I got right back in the ring and have been training and tweaking things to help me really get to that star level,” said Hitchins. “I’ve always had the tools, but people are just now recognizing my talents. Each opponent has brought something different out of me, and I plan to keep rising to the occasion and putting on a show for the fans.”

Price (17-1, 10 KO) returned to the ring in April to knock out Saul Corral in the fifth round. His previous outing had come in December 2019 when he suffered a knee injury that forced him to take a TKO loss against Malik Hawkins in a fight Price led on the scorecards. Originally from St. Louis and now fighting out of Houston, Price was a standout track and field runner at Grambling State University before turning pro and winning his first 16 boje.

“Every dream has a process and a price tag,” said Price. “Those who embrace the process and pay the price, live the dream. Those who don’t, just dream. I can’t wait to get back in the ring on July 3 and put on a great performance.”

SHAWNEE, Okla. (Září 22, 2018) - O’Shaquie Foster naštvaný dříve neporažený Jon Fernandez v bitvě o ShoBox: Nová generace veteráni, skóroval působivé jednomyslné rozhodující vítězství nad vysoce pokládanou vyhlídkou v pátek v SHOWTIME z Firelake arény. VIDEO UDÁLOSTI: https://s.sho.com/2OI0NUp

 

 

 

Fernandez (16-1, 14 KO), chráněnec bývalého sjednoceného mistra světa Sergia „Maravilly“ Martineze, se stal 180th bojovník v historii ShoBox série ztratil svůj neporažený rekord poté, co tři další dříve neporažení bojovníci v pátek zrušili rozhodnutí.

 

 

 

25letý Foster (14-2, 8 KO), obyvatel Houstonu, provedl herní plán svého týmu k dokonalosti, využívá skvělý pohyb a oportunisticky se spojuje s protiútoky. Foster byl mnohem ostřejší v útoku i obraně, připojení na 36 procent z jeho celkových úderů ve srovnání s pouhými 16 procenta pro Fernandeze.

 

 

 

Fernandez byl Fosterem frustrován, vychytralý a zkušený bojovník, který byl jedním z vítězů od reprezentace Spojených států v USA 2012 Olympijské hry. V jeho předchozích šesti zápasech, Fernandez zprůměrován 8.4 úder se připojuje za kolo, ale byl omezen pouze na 13 úder v dnešním 10kolovém souboji.

 

 

 

"Byl to nejlepší boj v mé kariéře.",“Řekl Foster, který se objevil na ShoBox série počtvrté. "Věděl jsem, že to mám v sobě.", Prostě jsem to nikdy nedal dohromady. Mám nový tým, Mám nového trenéra, nový trenér síly a kondice. To bylo to, o čem jsem snil a dali jsme práci, aby se to stalo.

 

 

 

"Věděl jsem, že je to děrovač a on předvedl celý boj.". Věděl jsem, že si musím odpíchnout úder a použít svůj boční pohyb. Měl trochu síly, ale nikdy mě nevyčistil. Sedneme si a podíváme se na rýsovací prkno. To ti můžu říct, už nejsme na straně B. “

 

 

 

Fernandez se zlepšoval během druhé poloviny boje, přistání velké pravé ruky v šestém kole, které krátce zakolísalo Fostera. Nicméně, Španěl nebyl schopen rozšířit svoji působivou sérii KO 14 po sobě jdoucí boje.

 

 

 

"Jeho styl byl frustrující.", ale očekávali jsme to,”Řekl 23letý Fernandez, který byl široce považován za jednoho z nejlepších vyhlídek v boxu. "Mysleli jsme si, že jeho kondice poklesne a v pozdějších kolech zpomalí.". Neudělal (zpomal) a to mě překvapilo.

 

 

 

 

 

"Mám pocit, že se stále můžeme zlepšovat.". Právě jsme měli špatný herní plán pro tento boj. “

 

 

 

Irvin Gonzalez ml. (11-0, 9 KO) out-boxed Carlos Ramos (9-1, 6 KO) od začátku do konce dosáhl jednomyslného rozhodnutí vítězství ve společném zápase dnešní noci ShoBox: Nová generace televizní vysílání. Soudci bodovali souboj 79-73, 78-74, 80-72. Gonzalez, který byl aktivnějším a agresivnějším bojovníkem, udržel neporažený rekord neporušený, přestože čelil frustrujícímu a defenzivně chytrému protivníkovi v Ramosu.

 

 

 

"Trvalo mi několik kol, než jsem na něj přišel.", ale jakmile jsem to udělal, neměl na sobě nic,"Řekl Gonzalez. "Měl jen levou ruku, a to bylo všechno.". Opravdu neházel žádnými údery.

 

 

 

"Pro mě to byla velká zkušenost s učením.". Toto byl můj druhý osmička a trochu mi otevřel oči. Vím, že jsem dobře kondicionován, ale musím se vrátit do práce. “

 

 

 

22letý Gonzalez, boxer čtvrté generace ve své rodině a rodák z Worcesteru, Mass., přemohl zručného leváka Ramose, který nebyl během osmi kol dostatečně aktivní. Delší, štíhlejší Gonzalez, kteří v průměru 58 údery za kolo na Ramose’ 28, spoléhal na svou délkovou výhodu a bojoval na dostřel.

 

 

 

Předběžný a obranný Ramos, na druhou stranu, pouze přistál 27 údery ve zbývajících sedmi kolech po přistání 11 v úvodním kole. Gonzalez, pro jeho část, překročit 50 údery ve všech kromě třetího kola.

 

 

 

Ve druhém zápase čtyřhlav, Filadelfský Steven Ortiz (9-0, 3 KO) hranou Brooklyn Wesley Ferrer (12-1-1, 7 KO) ve vyrovnaném a obtížně bodovatelném zápase neporažených vyhlídek. Oba bojovníci byli v každém kole většinového rozhodnutí odděleni maximálně pěti celkovými údery, , který byl hodnocen 78-74, 77-75, 76-76.

 

 

 

Oba bojovníci bojovali záměrným tempem, ale ani jeden nebyl schopen najít jejich rytmus a důsledně přistát kombinace. Ortiz začal silnější, ale Ferrer vyrostl v boji a byl rušnějším bojovníkem ve středních kolech. Poslední dvě kola byla rozhodujícím faktorem v boji. Dva rozhodčí, kterým Ortiz vyhrál na svých výsledkových kartách, favorizovali Ortize v kolech sedm a osmi.

 

 

 

"Myslím, že to byl docela těsný boj.",“Řekla zklamaná Ferrer. "Myslel jsem, že vyhrávám prvních pár kol.", ale vím, že jsem se v posledních dvou kolech vypracoval. Konec konců, soudci viděli něco jiného a on vyhrál. Kdybych vyhrál několik posledních kol, vyhrál bych boj. “

 

 

 

Ortiz, který držel úzký 127-115 výhoda v celkovém počtu úderů a a 99-93 výhoda v silovém razníku přistála, cítil, že udělal dost na to, aby vyhrál, ale nebyl zcela spokojen se svým výkonem.

 

 

 

"Scházel jsem z dlouhé propouštění a nebyl jsem tak ostrý, jak jsem měl být.",”Řekl 25letý Ortiz. "Přistál jsem k ostřejším úderům a přistál k tvrdším výstřelům.". Myslím, že moje zkušenost s prstenem a generální prsten byl rozdíl v boji.

 

 

 

"Chci se vrátit mnohem ostřejší a mnohem chytřejší.". Konec konců, byla to zkušenost s učením. Získal jsem vítězství proti drsnému muži. “

 

 

 

V televizní vysílání otvíráku, Miseel Lopez z Denveru (9-0, 4 KO) zlepšil se James Wilkins ze Staten Islandu (5-1, 5 KO) v bitvě mladých, dříve neporažené vyhlídky na muší váhu, sčítání jednomyslného rozhodnutí vítězství (79-72, 77-74, 76-75).

 

 

 

Akční boj viděl, jak se oba bojovníci houpali, nastavení tempa pro zbytek osmikolového zápasu, který viděl celkem 1,320 údery hozeny. Wilkins po celou dobu vyvíjel tlak na Lopeze, ale Lopezův objem úderů, pohyb a kombinace mu umožňovaly ovládat většinu kol. Lopezova klimatizace se ukázala jako klíčová. V posledních čtyřech kolech, Lopez vedl 139-68 celkem spojuje a přistává 213 výkonové údery na spravedlivé 115 pro Wilkinse po celou dobu osmi kol.

 

 

 

Wilkins, který byl uveden v dokumentu SHOWTIME CRADLE OF CHAMPIONS která měla premiéru bezprostředně před dnešním večerem ShoBox televizní vysílání, byl po několika varováních v pátém kole odečten bod za nízkou ránu. V sedmém kole, Zdálo se, že Wilkins skóroval, když se spojil se silnou pravou rukou, která vyřadila Lopez z rovnováhy, ale rozhodčí Mike England rozhodl, že Lopezova pravá ruka se nedotkla podložky.

 

 

 

"Myslím, že rozdíl byl v tom, že jsem ho dokázal nechat ujít.", přistál s čistšími střelami a použil můj box k určení tempa,“Řekl 22letý Lopez. "Snažím se pokračovat a zůstat na velkém pódiu.". Doufejme, že si lidé a promotéři všimnou, že jsem skutečná dohoda. “

 

 

 

Ve svém celostátním televizním debutu, stále sebevědomý Wilkins se cítil poškozený výsledkovými kartami rozhodčích a zjevným zmeškaným rozhodčím v sedmé.

 

 

 

"Myslím, že jsem udělal dost, abych to stáhl.",“Řekl Wilkins. "Viděl jsem rozdělené rozhodnutí.", možná, ale upustil jsem ho a to vyhrává boj. To bylo 10-8 kolo. Chci se vrátit do posilovny, tvrdě pracujte a vraťte se zpět. Neviděl jsi poslední ze mě. “

JON FERNANDEZ:

“I think I’m ready for a title fight now. I think that we’ve been doing really good work and the time is coming. If I get the opportunity after this fight, Vezmu to. I would fight Tevin Farmer or Ryan Garcia. I’m ready for something bigger.

 

 

 

“Every fight is different. Some fights I need to be really busy and sometimes I need to bring the power. To vše závisí. I look at myself more as a volume puncher than a power puncher. I like to wear my opponents down round by round.

 

 

 

“I’ve been on SHOWTIME twice and I’ve knocked out both of my opponents. Tomorrow night I will make it three for three.

 

 

 

“I’ve seen a few of Foster’s fights. He’s a fighter that knows how to use his distance and move around a lot. He will be my toughest opponent to date but I’ve fought guys with a similar style before.

 

 

 

“Boxing is gaining popularity all the time in Spain and I hope that my success makes others in Spain want to start boxing.

 

 

 

“I think Foster is going to be faithful to his style and use his distance and move a lot. I’m going to have to attack him and close off the ring. I have to be really intelligent because Foster is a really good counter-puncher and he’s fast. I just have to go to work.”

 

O’SHAQUIE FOSTER:

"Moje zaměření se zlepšilo od doby, kdy jsem začal pracovat se svým trenérem.", Polda (Benton). Hodně jsem se zlepšil a moje konzistence je tam. Naostřil jsem se a vrátil se ke starému mně. Odchýlil jsem se od způsobu, jakým rád bojuji, a teď jsem zpět ve skutečné O’Shaquie.

 

 

 

"SHOWTIME ještě neviděl to nejlepší ze mě.". Nesoustředil jsem se na posledních pár zápasů a měl jsem špatné výkony ShoBox. Dostal jsem všechny své démony a špatné aktivity ven a teď se stoprocentně soustředím na svůj box. Vím, že jakmile se soustředím, nikdo mě nemůže porazit.

 

 

 

"Fernandez dělá při tomto boji velkou chybu.". Nikdy jsem neměl problém bojovat proti vysokým chlapům. Musím použít hodně fint a hodně pohybu a nevidím, jak by mě znepokojoval.

 

 

 

"Mám pocit, že mám dobrý tým.". Zestárl jsem, Dospěl jsem, a jsem stejně soustředěný jako kdykoli předtím. Poslední rok jsem důsledně v posilovně. Po mém posledním boji, Vzal jsem si pár dní volno a byl jsem zpátky v tělocvičně. Toto je můj čtvrtý boj za necelý rok a vystupuji z jednoho ze svých nejlepších výkonů.

 

 

 

"Udělal jsem několik chyb mimo prsten.". Musel jsem se z toho vytrhnout a nedovolil jsem, aby můj talent zmizel. Je to pro mě velký boj a musím dokázat, že v boxu mám ještě velkou budoucnost. “

 

IRVIN GONZALEZ JR.:

"Vycházím z amatérů.", Věděl jsem, že se v pravý čas přihlásím. Nevěděl jsem, jestli to bude tak rychle. To je celý cíl. V televizi jsem poprvé a chci ukázat svůj talent.

 

 

 

"Ramos ví, jak boxovat.", ví, jak jít dovnitř a ven a používat své úhly, ale vidím spoustu věcí, z nichž mohu těžit. Pravou ruku drží nízko, a rád překračuje vrchol levou rukou. Rád tam zůstane, a může se chytit, když tam zůstane. V kruhu mu ukážu, na čem musí ve svém řemesle pracovat.

 

 

 

“Můžu box, ale můžu si také sednout na své údery a bojovat uvnitř. Rád si dávám své údery. Není to tak, že bych tam šel kvůli zabití - pokud zabití přijde, zabití přijde - ale vybírám své údery. Pokud přichází s knockoutem, přichází s knockoutem.

 

 

 

"Toto je nejtvrdší člověk, se kterým jsem jako profesionál chodil.". Víme, že je levičák, víme, že je docela tvrdý hitter. To je skoro vše, co víme.

 

 

 

"Přepínám, aniž bych si to vůbec uvědomoval.", takže bojovat s jižní tlapou nebude problém. Jsem s ním tak spokojený, že to přijde jako druhá přirozenost. “

 

CARLOS RAMOS:

"Střelil jsem stovky kol s Jonem Fernandezem.". Jsem úplně jiný bojovník než JonFer. Je to bojovník, který útočí a snaží se uříznout prsten. Jsem spíše technický boxer, který se snaží hodně používat úder.

 

 

 

"Můj styl bude záviset na tom, jak bude boj probíhat.". Máme plán bojovat proti Irvinovi Gonzalezovi a myslíme si, že zítra večer bude velmi efektivní.

 

 

 

"Je to dobrý boj pro mou kariéru a typ boje, který mě motivuje.". Jsem velmi nadšený z této příležitosti a jsem nadšený, že budu tady ve Spojených státech. Myslím, že mi to otevře mnoho větších příležitostí. “

 

WESLEY FERRER:

"Zůstal jsem zaneprázdněn v tělocvičně od mého posledního boje.". Nedávno jsem byl na výcvikovém táboře s Robertem Velikonocem. Ve svém posledním boji jsem měl kvůli propouštění trochu rzi, ale tentokrát to nebude problém.

 

 

 

"Je to velký boj o moji kariéru.". To mě přivede k dalšímu kroku v mé kariéře. Jsem nadšený, že mohu všem ukázat, kdo je skutečný Wesley.

 

 

 

„Mohu box, Můžu kontrovat. Vše záleží na tom, jak se cítím. Kdybych se rozhodl, že jsem rváč, Můžu to udělat. Kdybych se dal na box, Můžu to udělat. Vše záleží na mém protivníkovi a na tom, jaký je bojový plán. Na zítřek večer máme dobrý bojový plán.

 

 

 

"Změnit svůj postoj je něco, co mohu udělat, a něco, na čem jsem pracoval.". Někdy to dělám, aniž bych o tom přemýšlel, a ve svém posledním boji jsem byl efektivnější jako southpaw. Je to všechno o porozumění, kdy je správný čas to udělat.

 

 

 

"Moje příprava na tento boj byla dokonalá.". Nemám absolutně žádné problémy a vy všichni uvidíte nejlepšího Wesleyho Ferrera. “

 

STEVEN ORTIZ:

"Cítím se dobře, Jsem připraven jít. O Ferrerovi toho moc nevím. I know sometimes he switches to southpaw but we’re just going to adapt to whatever he brings to the table.

 

 

 

“I’ve sparred hundreds of rounds with Tevin Farmer. If I can hit him, I feel like I can hit anybody. That gives me the confidence to face a guy like Ferrer.

 

 

 

“I use my height to my advantage but I’m also learning to fight on the inside. I like to bang, but boxing comes naturally to me. Working with guys like Tevin makes these other fights easy.

 

 

 

“I’m going to be smart, zůstaň trpělivý, use my jab. But if an opening comes I’m going to take advantage of it and try to hurt him. As long as I stay focused and disciplined this will be easy work.

 

 

 

“This is my first time fighting on live TV, je to pro mě skvělá příležitost a zkušenost, na kterou se těším. Musím to brát kolo po kole.

 

 

 

"Jde o to být více soustředěný.". Moje myšlení předtím nikdy nebylo, „Chci je vyrazit“. Nyní, to je pro mě priorita. Chci jim ublížit. “

 

JAMES WILKINS:

"Když se ho dotknu.", Slibuji ti, že ho vyrazím. Jsem pod jeho kůží šest týdnů. Teď, když boj není v jeho rodném městě, bojí se mi podívat do očí.

 

 

 

"Určitě je můj nejtvrdší." (protivník). On je mladý, je neporažený. V Denveru byl nadšený. Ale, pokud se mě zeptáte, Nemyslím si o něm nic. Denver není Brooklyn.

 

 

"Jsem větší.", Jsem chytřejší, Jsem rychlejší. Každý, s kým jsem bojoval, nebyl zastaven, dokud jsem je nezastavil. I haven’t fought a 130-pounder yet and now that I am, this fight isn’t going past three rounds.

 

 

 

“I want to be in the top 10. I want to be a rising star. I want to be a world champ by the end of 2020. But I had to take a different route than other fighters. I have my goals and this is the next step. I’m kicking this door down.

 

 

 

“I’m different than a lot of young fighters. My boxing IQ after working with Roy (Jones) is through the roof. Měl jsem dobrý tábor. I’m prepared and ready to live my dream and become a star.

 

 

 

“I’ve been working three times a day in the gym. I didn’t fight guys with losing records because I was hand-picking guys. I fought them because I wasn’t given an opportunity.”

MISAEL LOPEZ:

“At first Wilkins got under my skin a little bit on social media, but we blocked it out. He’s a hot head. I think within the first few rounds he’ll come out wild and he’ll be easy for me to counter. It’s going to work against him.

 

 

 

“He’s never been three rounds, but more importantly he’s never fought a guy with a winning record.

 

 

 

“I’ve seen guys who come out aggressive. I just need to catch him, slow him down and he’ll be out.

 

 

 

“No disrespect to him. He’s a great boxer, he had a great amateur career. But this is our opportunity to take the next step.

 

 

 

“I’ve gotten a lot smarter in each fight. I’ve learned to settle down and pick my shots. I can adapt to any style. Měl jsem boje, kde jsem se musel rvát, Měl jsem boje, které jsem musel boxovat.

 

 

 

"Sparvali jsme se Shakurem Stevensonem a dostali jsme s ním pořádná kola pro tento boj."

Fernandez vs. O’Shaquie Foster Headlines ShoBox Quadrupleheader Live at 9:45 p.m. ET / PT z Firelake Arena v Shawnee, Okla.

 

SHAWNEE, Okla. (Sedm. 19, 2018) – Former unified world champion Sergio “Maravilla” Martinez sees big things for his protégé Jon “JonFer” Fernandez as the undefeated super featherweight prepares for his toughest test to date in O’Shaquie Foster in the headlining bout of ShoBox: Nová generace to Pátek, Září 21, žít na SHOWTIME (9:45 p.m. ET / PT).

 

 

 

Martinez, known for his extensive career and impact inside the ring and now at the helm of Maravillabox Promotions, has managed Fernandez since 2015. Since his pro debut at only 19 let, Fernandez (16-0, 14 KO) has climbed the prospect rankings while keeping his unblemished record intact, plenit 88 percent of his opponents along the way. The 23-year-old Fernandez was named the No. 5 prospect in all of boxing on ESPN’s Top Prospects of 2017 seznam, and looks poised to challenge for a world title at 130 liber v blízké budoucnosti.

 

 

 

This Friday’s quadrupleheader features eight prospects boasting a combined record of 81-2-1 a 56 KO. The telecast opens with James Wilkins (5-0, 5 KO), who is featured on SHOWTIME’s CRADLE OF CHAMPIONS documentary immediately preceding the ShoBox televizní vysílání na 9 p.m. ET / PT, taking on Misael Lopez (8-0, 4 KO). Also included on the card is a battle between undefeated featherweights Irvin Gonzalez Jr. (10-0, 9 KO) and Carlos Ramos (9-0, 6 KO), plus and Brooklyn’s Wesley Ferrer (12-0-1, 7 KO) colliding with undefeated lightweight Philadelphia prospect Steven Ortiz (8-0, 3 KO).

 

 

 

Tento týden, the former world champ Martinez spoke to SHOWTIME about what the future might hold for Fernandez and his stablemate, fellow-undefeated prospect Carlos Ramos:

 

SERGIO “MARAVILLA” MARTINEZ:

How much has Jon progressed since the last time we saw him on SHOWTIME in June 2017?

 

 

“It’s been over a year since last time Jon fought in the United States. I’ve seen him mature as a person and as a boxer. He’s been in three very difficult fights, he knocked out a Panamanian Olympian and won the WBC Silver belt. He’s now ranked in the top 10 at super featherweight by the WBC.”

 

How far away do you believe Jon is from challenging for a world title opportunity?

 

 

“With every fight, JonFer is a step closer to an opportunity to showcase his talent on the big stage. Myslím si, že 2019 will be the year where we see him in a big fight against another top 10 opponent or challenging for a title.”

 

You have sparred with Jon in the past, how did that go? Do you still train with him?

 

 

“I train with JonFer a few days a week. He’s so strong. I think he’s stronger than most 130-pounders, and he can pack a punch. He’s a power puncher.”

 

What initially drew you to work with Jon in the beginning?

 

 

“As soon as I met JonFer, I knew I wanted to work with him. His talent stood up right away. I knew he was a hungry, five-star boxer with world championship fever. The perfect prospect.”

 

How do you feel about the matchup Jon has on Friday night against O’Shaquie Foster?

 

 

“Foster is his toughest rival to date, so naturally I’m a little nervous. But I know JonFer has what it takes to get the win. I have a second fighter on the card, Carlos Ramos. I’m always a little nervous when my boxers fight. It’s normal.”

 

Irvin Gonzalez is also undefeated, what does Carlos need to do for the victory?

 

 

“Carlos Ramos doesn’t have to do anything special to defeat Irvin Gonzalez. He just has to be himself. Ramos knows this is the biggest opportunity he has ever had and that this fight can change his life. That’s the best motivation he can have to bring his A-game to the ring on Friday.”

 

What are you thoughts on Carlos as a prospect?

 

 

“I have high hopes for Carlos. He has a lot of talent and is a southpaw, stejně jako já. He reminds me of myself when I was starting. I believe in his potential.”

 

 

 

Uvádí DiBella Entertainment, tickets for the event are priced at $60 for ringside, $40 pro podlahová sedadla a $30 for general admission and can be purchased online at www.firelakearena.com or at the door on the night of the event.

VERONA, New York. (Červen 10, 2017) – Undefeated super lightweight Regis Prograis made an emphatic statement Pátek naShoBox: Nová generace, knocking down previously undefeated Joel Diaz Jr. four times in the second round as he stamped his arrival as a legitimate contender in the 140-pound division.

The southpaw Prograis (20-0, 17 KO), who was making his fourth start on the prospect developmental series, called out the top names at 140 after the second round demolition (WHO 2:55) at Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, New York.

The special Hall of Fame edition of ShoBox: Nová generace featured four members of the International Boxing Hall of Fame: ShoBox mainstays Barry Tompkins and Steve Farhood and special guests Al Bernstein and Jimmy Lennon Jr. Tompkins and Farhood will be inducted just down the road in Canastota v neděli v 2017 class headlined by boxing greats Evander Holyfield, Marco Antonio Barrera and Johnny Tapia.

The super lightweights, Prograis and Diaz, entered the main event with a combined record of 42-0, but it was clear they were in a different class after the first round. Prograis knocked down Diaz in the opening 30 seconds of the second in an exchange that appeared to be the result of a clash of feet. Bez ohledu, Prograis smelled blood and pounced on Diaz, flooring him again with a straight left midway through the round.

The Houston resident, who relocated from New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, knocked down Diaz again just 15 seconds later with a straight left. The fourth and final knockdown, courtesy of a left hook, sent Diaz (23-1, 19 KO) tumbling back and was enough for referee Mark Nelson to halt the bout with just seconds left on the clock.

It was a convincing statement for Prograis, který přistál 62 percent of his power shots in the toughest test of his career.

"Dnes večer I proved I graduated from ShoBox,"Řekl Prograis. “I’m ready for the bigger stage. I’m ready for the big show. I want to fight best the best in the division. Chci (Terrance) Crawford, (Vítěz) Postol, (Adrien) Broner. I want them all. None of these guys have fought anybody like me. The boogeyman is coming. Raději se připravte.

“He was tough, he was strong and hit hard, but I went through it. That’s another opponent I ran through. I run through everybody. I’m ready for my shot. I’m coming for everybody at 140.”

Diaz, kdo se stal 164th fighter to suffer his first defeat on the series, was clearly disappointed with his game plan.

I went out there too hyper, trying to kill him,” Diaz said. “I went out too aggressive. I should have toned it down a bit. I had 10 rounds but I just went out there trying to take him out. I should’ve calmed down.

“I should have used my jab a bit more to knock him down but I came out swinging.

Super middleweight prospect Steve Rolls managed to maintain his undefeated record with a closely contested eight-round slip decision victory over Demond Nicholson scored 77-75 Nicholson, 77-74 Rolls, 77-74 Rolls.

Rolls got off to a quick start, flooring Nicholson with a left hook in the closing seconds of the first to pocket a 10-8 kolo. He came out attacking to sweep the second, but the fight appeared to change course in the third when Nicholson hurt Rolls in the final minute with his first meaningful punch of the fight.

Nicholson (17-2-1, 16 KO) carried the momentum to sweep the fourth, but the remaining four rounds featured back-and-forth action and were difficult to score. Rolls (16-0, 9 KO) was the slightly busier fighter, připojení na 412 total punches compared to 390 přes osm kol, but Nicholson edged his opponent 134-117 in total connects.

ShoBox announcers Tompkins, Farhood and Raul Marquez all had Nicholson winning the final six rounds and edging Rolls 77-74 on their unofficial scorecards.

What made the difference for me dnes večer was my jab, my patience, my overall boxing ability,"Říká Rolls. “I came in to this fight having no doubts. Nicholson was talking beforehand about my last fight, he was talking about my footwork, and I knew he was going to be in for a big surprise. I adapt for each fight.

“I knew I had him from the first round. My corner calmed me down and told me to take my time.

Nicholson, who has mostly competed at 160 liber, disagreed with the judges’ decision.

“I’m not going to make any excuses. He won the fight,” Nicholson said. “That’s what the judges saw, but I don’t agree. He hurt me in the first round. He hit me viciously in the head. I was dizzy but I recovered and I went on. I think I did a very good job but clearly not enough.

“I can’t fight at 160 – I’m a 168-pounder. Fighting at that weight drained me. I wasn’t at my best.”

V úvodním zápasu na televizní vysílání, undefeated lightweight prospect Jon Fernandez scored a brutal knockout of Juan Reyes at2:36 druhého kola.

Fernandez stepped on the gas from the opening bell, utilizing superior activity and accuracy to pick apart the game yet outmatched Reyes. The pair combined to throw 240 punches in the opening stanza but Fernandez landed his right at will and was clearly the more effective fighter.

The Sergio Martinez protégé had a bloodied Reyes hurt in the opening minute of the second and closed the show in the final minute with a sharp right to the ear that sent Reyes (14-4-3, 2 KO) falling back toward the canvas. The perfectly placed punch had Reyes seemingly out before he hit the floor.

The Spaniard Fernandez (13-0, 11 KO) landed a staggering 55 percent of his power shots and 40 procent své celkové razníků.

“The one-two, one-two was the key to opening the door,” Fernandez said. “The straight right hand is one of my best punches and I caught Reyes in the perfect spot. I hope he is OK. I feel that I am ready for the next level. I’ll fight wherever there is an opportunity, but I believe the big fights are here in the U.S.

Reyes was responsive but taken to the hospital as a precautionary measure.

Páteční tripleheader will replay v pondělí na 10 p.m. A/PT na SHOWTIME extrémní a bude k dispozici na SHOWTIME na vyžádání® a SHOWTIME ANYTIME®.

Závěrečná QUOTES:

 

Regis Prograis

“The person that wins this fight goes up, doufejme, to a title fight. Já jsem 19-0, on je 23-0. I feel like this is a real big fight.

 

“I take all my opponents seriously, but I’m taking this one even more seriously than others in the past. Je to 23-0, and there’s a reason he’s undefeated. He’s good, and he has the best record I’ve ever faced.

 

“I’m at a stage in my career where every fight can lead to the next big thing and I think this fight may be it for me. I’m patient, but I’m ready for more. I want a shot at a title.

 

“He’s a brawler fighter, but I have the better punching power, and the speed.

 

“If I feel like he [Diaz] can’t hurt me from the first round, I’ll probably just walk him down the whole night and punish him.

 

“Seeing what [Errol] Spence did motivates me, especially the way he did it in his opponent’s hometown. It got me thinking: that can be me one day. We went at it in the amateurs, so I know how good he is, but I’m good too. Just seeing him go over there and take the title away, I know my time is coming next.

 

“I grew up watching Macho Camacho, Roberto Duran, Mike Tyson, but I watched more Duran than anything. I really liked his style. I learned a lot watching the boxing greats on tape.

 

“Terence Crawford, Adrien Broner, Victor Postol. Those are the type of guys I want to fight.

 

“I started boxing in New Orleans, and if it wasn’t for Katrina, I probably wouldn’t be where I am right now. When I moved to Houston, I got into the boxing scene and started taking it seriously. It was a horrible situation [v New Orleans], but it changed my life.

 

“My family went back [to New Orleans], but not me. I stayed in Houston to box. I feel it’s not time for me to go back home just yet. I’ll come back when I become a superstar, like I’m supposed to be.”

 

Joel Diaz Jr.

“This is my chance, this is my opportunity. I’ve been told, ‘you only get one chance’, and this is it for me. I know Regis is good, but we’re going to put it on him. I’m going to be on him like flies on shit. This is one of the opportunities I can’t let pass.

 

“We’re going to break him down mentally, find our way in, and drop the bomb.

 

“He throws combos, and that’s what I have to take away from him. I have to be on him and be the first to attack. My power will take care of his speed.

 

“This means a lot to me, getting to show the world who the ‘secret’ is. People haven’t really seen what I have, but there will be no more secrets after zítra.

 

“I’m going to show the world who the real Joel Diaz is. I’m now at the right weight for me and I’m 110 procento. I didn’t waste four weeks of training camp trying to lose weight. Cítím se silný.

 

“A world championship after this fight, to je to, co chci. This is my opportunity to actually show who I am and I can’t let it go. If I let this go, I might as well go back to school. This is going to open all the doors for me.

 

“We’ve been ready for this step for a while. I’d like to fight the winner of [Adrien] Broner- [Mikey] Garcia, ale uvidíme. I know Broner doesn’t want to fight me. I tried to fight him and he turned it down. He knows I’ll give him trouble.

 

“I changed trainers. I used to be with Abel Ramos, now I’m with Chris Byrd. With Coach Chris, it’s more defense than offense. Working with Chris is amazing. He was a fighter, so he knows what it takes to step in that ring. Byl tam, so he understands me from a fighter’s perspective and that’s very important for me. The bond we have inside and outside the ring is special.

 

“You’re going to see a more active Joel Diaz and a more defensive Joel Diaz. I’m going to show the world who Joel Diaz is at 140 and trust me, they will ask for more after they see it.”

 

Steve Rolls

“My last fight on ShoBox [against Steed Woodall in December 2015] was a learning experience. I was knocked down in the third, but I rebounded. You never know how you are going to react in the face of adversity until you are put in that position. I’m glad that happened early on in my career. It taught me a lot.

 

“I’m know I’m 33, but I feel better than when I was younger. I take care of myself. I have a clean lifestyle. Age is not a thing for me.

 

“Nicholson has a good jab. I’ve seen him fight before. I’m not sure if he’s made adjustments or if he’s coming with a different game plan. Jsem připraven na všechno, co přináší.

 

“From what I’ve seen, on může bojovat. He knows what he’s doing in there and it looks like he has some experience.”

 

Demond Nicholson

“This guy [Rolls] is not as experienced as me. I’m a big step-up for him.

 

“My last fight [against Immanuwel Aleem] was a big step up, and I fought to a majority draw. It was a slow start, but I’m a fighter, and I soldiered through. That fight really opened my eyes up to better my career, my future.

 

“Look at what Aleem has done since we fought. He knocked out an undefeated guy [Ievgen Khytrov] that no one wanted to face.

 

“My experience is going to get us over the hump against this guy. He has a dangerous right hand, but I’m going to take that away from him.

 

“I’m a natural boxer, but people were calling me a brawler after my performance with Aleem and that’s not who I am. But I get it – I didn’t box at all in that fight. That’s why I had to go back to the drawing board.

 

“I learned a lot training at Head Bangers in Washington, D.C.. with Barry Hunter, Lamont Peterson and all those guys. I’ve learned from Lamont, from Adrien Broner, from Austin Trout. They spar with top fighters and that’s why they perform at the highest level – because they’ve sparred with the best. So I’m doing the same.”

 

“I have one loss, and that taught me a lot. I had to lose 15 liber in three days for that fight and that took a toll on me. There are no issues making weight for this fight.”

 

Jon Fernandez

“This is my second fight with my new trainer Tinin Rodriguez. I always try to get better and changing trainers seemed to be the best path for me. He’s helping me round up the fundamentals of boxing.

 

“I know I’m tall for my weight class, but I feel OK. Myslím si, že 130 is my ideal weight, but I might go up in weight in the future. Uvidíme. I’m still young and I have a long career ahead of me.

 

“I used to watch tape of Maravilla when I was growing up. He inspired me to be serious about boxing. He was so good. It’s such of honor to be working with him. I respect him a lot.”

Juan Reyes

“I haven’t fought anybody that tall, but I have a good game plan. I know he’s a volume puncher, but that’s just going to get me excited. It’ll get my adrenaline pumping.

 

“I’m excited that I’m fighting on TV and in such special weekend, it’s the Boxing Hall of Fame. To je sen. If I beat this guy it could change my life.”

 

Sergio Martinez – Jon Fernandez Co-Promoter

“Jon is a thinker. He knows when to attack and when to defend himself. He’s truly gifted.

 

“Some may draw comparisons of him with Paul Williams, but I fought Williams twice and let me tell you they are not alike. Paul was the type of fighter that would get in the ring and go from first, to second, to third gear without thinking. JonFer will read you, will go to whatever gear he needs to be to defeat his opponent. He has a very high boxing IQ.”

Chris Byrd – Diaz’s Trainer

“Joel is an aggressive machine, so my main focus has been on developing his defense. He’s a talented boxer, but his aggressiveness sometimes opens holes in his defense. In this training camp, we worked on that. We have a good strategy going.

 

“He already knew how to fight, but you just have to push him a little bit on defense. He’s still aggressive as ever, but he needed to think about what’s coming back at him.

 

“My main thing is life after boxing. I have two brothers that are messed up from boxing. That’s why I focus on defense so much. He has an aggressive style, but he also has talent, good feet and eye coordination. He’ll go on to do great things.

 

“You’re going to see something special. Regis is good, I give him props, but you’re going to see something special from Joel. And a great fight.”

Závěrečná QUOTES:

Regis Prograis

“The person that wins this fight goes up, doufejme, to a title fight. Já jsem 19-0, on je 23-0. I feel like this is a real big fight.

“I take all my opponents seriously, but I’m taking this one even more seriously than others in the past. Je to 23-0, and there’s a reason he’s undefeated. He’s good, and he has the best record I’ve ever faced.

“I’m at a stage in my career where every fight can lead to the next big thing and I think this fight may be it for me. I’m patient, but I’m ready for more. I want a shot at a title.

“He’s a brawler fighter, but I have the better punching power, and the speed.

“If I feel like he [Diaz] can’t hurt me from the first round, I’ll probably just walk him down the whole night and punish him.

“Seeing what [Errol] Spence did motivates me, especially the way he did it in his opponent’s hometown. It got me thinking: that can be me one day. We went at it in the amateurs, so I know how good he is, but I’m good too. Just seeing him go over there and take the title away, I know my time is coming next.

“I grew up watching Macho Camacho, Roberto Duran, Mike Tyson, but I watched more Duran than anything. I really liked his style. I learned a lot watching the boxing greats on tape.

“Terence Crawford, Adrien Broner, Victor Postol. Those are the type of guys I want to fight.

“I started boxing in New Orleans, and if it wasn’t for Katrina, I probably wouldn’t be where I am right now. When I moved to Houston, I got into the boxing scene and started taking it seriously. It was a horrible situation [v New Orleans], but it changed my life.

“My family went back [to New Orleans], but not me. I stayed in Houston to box. I feel it’s not time for me to go back home just yet. I’ll come back when I become a superstar, like I’m supposed to be.”

Joel Diaz Jr.

“This is my chance, this is my opportunity. I’ve been told, ‘you only get one chance’, and this is it for me. I know Regis is good, but we’re going to put it on him. I’m going to be on him like flies on shit. This is one of the opportunities I can’t let pass.

“We’re going to break him down mentally, find our way in, and drop the bomb.

“He throws combos, and that’s what I have to take away from him. I have to be on him and be the first to attack. My power will take care of his speed.

“This means a lot to me, getting to show the world who the ‘secret’ is. People haven’t really seen what I have, but there will be no more secrets after zítra.

“I’m going to show the world who the real Joel Diaz is. I’m now at the right weight for me and I’m 110 procento. I didn’t waste four weeks of training camp trying to lose weight. Cítím se silný.

“A world championship after this fight, to je to, co chci. This is my opportunity to actually show who I am and I can’t let it go. If I let this go, I might as well go back to school. This is going to open all the doors for me.

“We’ve been ready for this step for a while. I’d like to fight the winner of [Adrien] Broner- [Mikey] Garcia, ale uvidíme. I know Broner doesn’t want to fight me. I tried to fight him and he turned it down. He knows I’ll give him trouble.

“I changed trainers. I used to be with Abel Ramos, now I’m with Chris Byrd. With Coach Chris, it’s more defense than offense. Working with Chris is amazing. He was a fighter, so he knows what it takes to step in that ring. Byl tam, so he understands me from a fighter’s perspective and that’s very important for me. The bond we have inside and outside the ring is special.

“You’re going to see a more active Joel Diaz and a more defensive Joel Diaz. I’m going to show the world who Joel Diaz is at 140 and trust me, they will ask for more after they see it.”

Steve Rolls

“My last fight on ShoBox [against Steed Woodall in December 2015] was a learning experience. I was knocked down in the third, but I rebounded. You never know how you are going to react in the face of adversity until you are put in that position. I’m glad that happened early on in my career. It taught me a lot.

“I’m know I’m 33, but I feel better than when I was younger. I take care of myself. I have a clean lifestyle. Age is not a thing for me.

“Nicholson has a good jab. I’ve seen him fight before. I’m not sure if he’s made adjustments or if he’s coming with a different game plan. Jsem připraven na všechno, co přináší.

“From what I’ve seen, on může bojovat. He knows what he’s doing in there and it looks like he has some experience.”

Demond Nicholson

“This guy [Rolls] is not as experienced as me. I’m a big step-up for him.

“My last fight [against Immanuwel Aleem] was a big step up, and I fought to a majority draw. It was a slow start, but I’m a fighter, and I soldiered through. That fight really opened my eyes up to better my career, my future.

“Look at what Aleem has done since we fought. He knocked out an undefeated guy [Ievgen Khytrov] that no one wanted to face.

“My experience is going to get us over the hump against this guy. He has a dangerous right hand, but I’m going to take that away from him.

“I’m a natural boxer, but people were calling me a brawler after my performance with Aleem and that’s not who I am. But I get it – I didn’t box at all in that fight. That’s why I had to go back to the drawing board.

“I learned a lot training at Head Bangers in Washington, D.C.. with Barry Hunter, Lamont Peterson and all those guys. I’ve learned from Lamont, from Adrien Broner, from Austin Trout. They spar with top fighters and that’s why they perform at the highest level – because they’ve sparred with the best. So I’m doing the same.”

“I have one loss, and that taught me a lot. I had to lose 15 liber in three days for that fight and that took a toll on me. There are no issues making weight for this fight.”

Jon Fernandez

“This is my second fight with my new trainer Tinin Rodriguez. I always try to get better and changing trainers seemed to be the best path for me. He’s helping me round up the fundamentals of boxing.

“I know I’m tall for my weight class, but I feel OK. Myslím si, že 130 is my ideal weight, but I might go up in weight in the future. Uvidíme. I’m still young and I have a long career ahead of me.

“I used to watch tape of Maravilla when I was growing up. He inspired me to be serious about boxing. He was so good. It’s such of honor to be working with him. I respect him a lot.”

Juan Reyes

“I haven’t fought anybody that tall, but I have a good game plan. I know he’s a volume puncher, but that’s just going to get me excited. It’ll get my adrenaline pumping.

“I’m excited that I’m fighting on TV and in such special weekend, it’s the Boxing Hall of Fame. To je sen. If I beat this guy it could change my life.”

Sergio Martinez – Jon Fernandez Co-Promoter

“Jon is a thinker. He knows when to attack and when to defend himself. He’s truly gifted.

“Some may draw comparisons of him with Paul Williams, but I fought Williams twice and let me tell you they are not alike. Paul was the type of fighter that would get in the ring and go from first, to second, to third gear without thinking. JonFer will read you, will go to whatever gear he needs to be to defeat his opponent. He has a very high boxing IQ.”

Chris Byrd – Diaz’s Trainer

“Joel is an aggressive machine, so my main focus has been on developing his defense. He’s a talented boxer, but his aggressiveness sometimes opens holes in his defense. In this training camp, we worked on that. We have a good strategy going.

“He already knew how to fight, but you just have to push him a little bit on defense. He’s still aggressive as ever, but he needed to think about what’s coming back at him.

“My main thing is life after boxing. I have two brothers that are messed up from boxing. That’s why I focus on defense so much. He has an aggressive style, but he also has talent, good feet and eye coordination. He’ll go on to do great things.

“You’re going to see something special. Regis is good, I give him props, but you’re going to see something special from Joel. And a great fight.”
