LAS VEGAS (Jan. 28, 2017) - Leo Santa Cruz heeft het WBA-kampioenschap vedergewicht teruggewonnen, het uitvoeren van een briljant spelplan om Carl Frampton te onttronen in een rematch van hun epische eerste gevecht in het hoofdevenement van SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING Zaterdag voor 10,085 rauwe fans in de MGM Grand Garden Arena.

 

Met de scores 114-114 trekken, en 115-113 tweemaal, beide vechters hebben nu een meerderheidsbesluit en beloofden de rekening in een trilogie te vereffenen.

 

Het gevecht ging verder waar de kampioenen afgelopen juli in Brooklyn waren gebleven, met geweldige actie en heen en weer uitwisselingen, maar het werd meteen duidelijk dat Santa Cruz zijn spelplan had aangepast. De wereldtitelwinnaar uit drie divisies werkte prima, vocht met geduld op afstand en koos zijn plekken perfect uit. De vechter versloeg de bokser.

 

Frampton (23-1, 14 KO) was in de tweede helft van het gevecht agressiever en viel van binnen aan, maar zijn agressie stelde hem open voor effectieve tegenschoten van Santa Cruz (33-1-1, 18 KO).

 

Santa Cruz, die zijn brood heeft verdiend met kenmerkende agressie en hoge volumes, was duidelijk geduldiger in het tweede gevecht. Hij gooide 884 stoten, ruim onder zijn divisieleidende gemiddelde, inclusief voorbij 400 jabs. Frampton, van Belfast, Noord-Ierland, wist bijna te gooien 600 stoten, maar hij maakte gewoon verbinding 22 procent.

 

Zoals het geval was in het eerste gevecht, de herkansing werd soms in een zinderend tempo uitgevochten, vooral in de tweede helft. Frampton en Santa Cruz gooiden samen 193 stoten in de laatste ronde, 90 waarvan werden gegooid door Frampton, het meeste dat hij in een ronde van het gevecht gooide.

 

'Voor het gevecht, Ik zei dat ik wraak wilde en hard wilde werken,zei de 28-jarige Santa Cruz. “Ik ging naar de sportschool en werkte hard en deed wat ik moest doen.

 

“Mijn hoofd vertelde me dat ik naar voren moest gaan en hem onder druk moest zetten, maar mijn vader en Corner zeiden dat ik hem in een doos moest stoppen. Dat is wat ik moest doen. Ik vecht altijd voor de fans, maar vanavond Ik heb ook voor mezelf gevochten.”

 

Leidt naar de herkansing, het werd duidelijk dat Santa Cruz en Frampton misschien voor altijd met elkaar verbonden waren. Santa Cruz had beloofd zijn titel terug te verdienen en Frampton een rematch te gunnen, terwijl Frampton er niet voor terugdeinsde om zijn wens te uiten om van hun rivaliteit een trilogie te maken.

“Natuurlijk wil ik de herkansing,' zei Santa Cruz na het gevecht. “Ik ben een man van mijn woord en ik zei dat als ik won, ik hem de trilogie zou geven. Carl Frampton is een goede vechter. Laten we een derde gevecht voeren.’

 

De titellist uit twee divisies Frampton, wie was de consensus 2016 Fighter van het Jaar, vertelde SHOWTIME Sports-verslaggever Jim Gray dat Santa Cruz de beslissing verdiende.

 

“Het was een heel zwaar gevecht,"Zei Frampton, die draait 30 jaar volgende maand. “Sommige rondes waren dichtbij. Ik denk echt dat Leo het verdiende. Hij vertelde me wat hij ging doen. De vechter was de bokser te slim af. Mijn schuld. Het spijt me. We zullen het opnieuw moeten doen. We moeten het opnieuw doen.

 

“Hij was heel slim en gebruikte zijn bereik. Ik denk dat hij het verdiende. Ik ben eerlijk. Maar het was een heel goed gevecht. Ik denk dat ik iets beter kan presteren. Geen excuses.

 

‘Laten we het nog een keer doen. Ik hoop dat hij een man van zijn woord is en naar Belfast komt. Ik hoop dat hij dat doet.”

 

MIKEY GARCIA SLAAT DEJAN ZLATICANIN UIT

Mikey Garcia werd wereldkampioen in drie divisies met een venijnige knock-out in de derde ronde van de voorheen ongeslagen verdedigende WBC lichtgewicht wereldkampioen Dejan Zlaticanin in het co-main event van SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING.

 

De opwindende en definitieve overwinning markeerde Garcia’s terugkeer naar de bokselite. De Oxnard, Calif., Native was een ongeslagen kampioen in twee divisies toen hij twee en een half jaar ontslagen werd vanwege promotieproblemen. Hij keerde afgelopen juli terug op SHOWTIME met een indrukwekkend optreden en maakte een statement op zaterdag door in slechts zijn tweede gevecht een titel in een derde gewichtsklasse te veroveren in drie jaar.

 

Garcia (36-0, 30 KO) hield Zlaticanin uit balans en buiten bereik met zijn prik, het opzetten van krachtige rechten die herhaaldelijk zijn tegenstander steunden. De 29-jarige deed Zlaticanin pijn met een flush right uppercut in de laatste minuut van de derde, gevolgd door een straffe en perfect getimede rechtse die de Montenegrijnse onmiddellijk knock-out sloeg. Zlaticanin bleef enkele minuten op het canvas liggen voordat hij weer overeind kwam terwijl een bezorgde Garcia door de ring ijsbeerde.

 

Het was de eerste keer dat Zlaticanine speelde (18-1, 11 KO), de meest vermeden vechter bij 135 pond, ooit gewond of gevallen is.

 

“Ik ben Dejan dankbaar, mijn tegenstander, is nu in orde,' zei Garcia. “We wensen nooit iemand in deze sport iets slechts toe en ik ben blij dat hij opstond en in orde was. Ik wenste hem nog een geweldige carrière, en hij zei dankjewel. Ik vertelde hem dat hij nog steeds een kampioen is. Eenmaal kampioen, altijd een kampioen.

 

“Hij bleef binnenkomen en ik zag de mogelijkheid voor de uppercut. Hij was gewond. Toen hij zich weer omdraaide om naar mij te kijken, wist ik dat hij gewond was en ik ging bovenhands rechts. Ik zag het in zijn ogen. Het was gewoon de perfecte tijd en perfecte afstand.

 

“Ik denk dat ik door het ontslag mijn vuur en passie weer heb kunnen aanwakkeren en de liefde voor de sport heb kunnen terugbrengen. En tijdens dat tweeënhalf jaar durende ontslag heb ik altijd de steun gehad van mijn trouwe fans.”

 

Garcia richt zich nu op het verenigen van de lichtgewichtdivisie. WBA lichtgewicht wereldkampioen Jorge Linares en voormalig titlist Anthony Crolla zullen vechten in een langverwachte rematch Maart 25 live op SHOWTIME vanuit Manchester, Engeland. De WBC, de riem die Garcia oppakte op zaterdag, heeft opdracht gegeven dat de winnaar van Linares vs. Crolla II moet het opnemen tegen de winnaar van Zlaticanin vs. Garcia.

 

“Ik ben beschikbaar om alle titels te verenigen. Als we de organisaties zover kunnen krijgen om samen te komen en titels te verenigen, zouden we dat geweldig vinden. Misschien opschuiven naar 140 pond tegen het einde van het jaar.”

 

Zlaticanin, wie was de eerste kampioen in de geschiedenis van Montenegro, was gefrustreerd door zijn prestaties en het onvermogen om zijn spelplan uit te voeren.

 

“Ik maakte me net klaar om het een beetje op te rapen en ik kwam tussen de touwen terecht en toen sloeg hij me met een klap, harde klap,zei Zlaticanine.

 

“Mikey is zonder twijfel een goede vechter. Ik heb nooit de strijd kunnen aangaan. Ik oefende druk uit en probeerde hem in de eerste rondes af te breken.”

 

SHOWTIME BOKSEN OP SHOWTIME EXTREME RESULTATEN

Ivan Redkach versloeg Demond Brock, gebruik makend van effectieve uppercuts en bodyshots op weg naar een knock-outoverwinning in de achtste ronde (2:30) op SHOWTIME BOXING op SHOWTIME EXTREME.

 

Ooit een veelgeprezen prospect, REDK (20-2-1, 16 KO) wilde na binnenkomst terugkeren naar zijn manier van winnen 1-2-1 in zijn laatste vier periodes. Hij bezegelde zijn rentree door de show op indrukwekkende wijze af te sluiten in de achtste en laatste ronde, Brock op de vloer met twee grote linkse haken met nog iets meer dan een minuut te gaan in het gevecht. Brock (13-4-1, 4 KO) versloeg de graaf, maar stond op onvaste benen en was weerloos tegen een spervuur ​​van comboschoten, waardoor scheidsrechter Jay Nady werd gedwongen in te grijpen en de wedstrijd met just stop te zetten 30 seconden op de klok.

 

“Ik ben zeer enthousiast. Ik kon niet gelukkiger zijn,' zei Redkach. “Ik wil Team Santa Cruz bedanken. Ze zijn mijn familie. We hadden een geweldig kamp en ik kan niet wachten om Leo te zien vechten. Ik ben gewoon zo blij dat ik het gevecht heb gewonnen.”

 

Hoog aangeschreven super middengewicht prospect David Benavidez maakte snel werk Sherali Mamadjanov, het neerhalen van de eerder verslagen jager tweemaal op weg naar een tweede ronde TKO (1:04).

 

De 20-jarige Benavidez (17-0, 16 KO) gevloerde Mamadjanov (14-2, 7 KO) met nog maar enkele seconden te gaan in de eerste ronde met een vicieuze linkse hoek naar de maag, gevolgd door een rechte rechterkant. Het was de eerste keer in zijn professionele carrière dat de inwoner van Oezbekistan het doek beroerde. Benavidez maakte in de tweede minuut met een andere grote linkse hoek contact met het lichaam, Mamadjanov stond op, maar was duidelijk onvast en Russell Mora stopte onmiddellijk de wedstrijd.

 

De inwoner van Phoenix maakte verbinding 55 procent van zijn power shots, terwijl Mamadjanov slechts één krachtige stoot uitdeelde.

 

“Ik ben een beetje teleurgesteld omdat ik het publiek een spectaculaire knock-out wilde bezorgen,"Zei Benavidez. “Dit is de eerste keer dat ik vecht bij MGM Grand en ik zal het nooit vergeten. De sfeer hier is geweldig. Deze vechtweek was de beste ervaring van mijn leven.

 

“Ik wil zo veel mogelijk blijven vechten. Ik wil mijn vak perfectioneren, Train zo hard als ik kan en wees het beste wat ik kan zijn.”

 

Super lichtgewicht prospect Josh Taylor won een zwaar bevochten unanieme beslissingsoverwinning op een wedstrijd Alfonso Olvera, gescoord 79-72, 78-73 tweemaal, in het openingsgevecht van SHOWTIME BOXING op SHOWTIME EXTREME. Taylor, die aan het gevecht deelnam met een perfect record van 7-0 met zeven knockouts, werd voor het eerst in zijn carrière verlengd tot voorbij de vijfde ronde.

 

Taylor (8-0, 7 KO) heeft Olvera afgebroken (8-3-1, 3 KO) met een vast dieet van bodyshots, een scherpe prik en een effectieve tegenstoot. De 2012 Olympische vertegenwoordiger voor Schotland geland 57 procent van zijn powershots en 43 procent van zijn totale stoten, terwijl Olvera verbinding maakte op slechts a 17 procent clip.

 

“Het verbaasde mij niet dat hij niet naar beneden ging,zei Taylor. “Ik was niet op zoek naar de knock-out. Ik wilde gewoon de overwinning behalen.

 

“Hij was erg onhandig. Ik kon niet gaan zoals ik wilde, maar ik kreeg wel een paar schoten en had soms het gevoel dat ik hem pijn deed.”

 

Dat zei Taylor's trainer Shane McGuigan, “Ik ben blij met zijn prestatie. Het was niet zijn beste, maar hij deed genoeg om te winnen. Hij is jong. Hij is nog een beginneling. Ik kijk ernaar uit om zijn vooruitgang te blijven zien en wat hij in de toekomst zal doen.”

 

De strijd werd gepromoot door Ringstar Sports in samenwerking met Cyclone Promotions en TGB Promotions en werd gesponsord door Corona La Cerveza Mas Fina.

CARL FRAMPTON
Both Leo and myself enjoyed the fight, although more importantly, the fans enjoyed it. I have to give Leo credit for taking the rematch and making this happen.
I think with this fight, there can’t be too much that goes differently. Our styles just gel together. Leo is a tremendous fighter who I have the utmost respect for inside and outside of the ring.
Both of us fight for our families. That’s really all the motivation you need. Two young men with young kids who just want to give their children a better life. Those are the ingredients for a top quality contest.
There’s no doubt we both have what it takes to win this fight, but the way things have been going this training camp, I’m extremely confident I’ll get the win. Ik ben enthousiast voor de strijd, but I believe that I’m going to come home victorious. This crowd that has come from overseas to support me is incredible and I’m hoping to send them home happy.
LEO SANTA CRUZ
“Ik ben blij om hier te zijn. Since I was very small it was my dream to be the main event on a big card. I saw all of the other greats fight here and I always said that maybe one day I could fight here. Now I’ve made it, thanks to the help of my family and team.
Now that I’ve made it here, I want to make sure I shine. I want to give my best. I’m really prepared for this fight. Our first fight was great and this is going to be another tough fight.
We’ve been working on some little things in the gym. We’re going to be smarter but as a Mexican fighter, I’m going to give the fans a great fight. Every time I step into the ring, I’m trying to please the fans.
I can use my distance and box if I wanted to, but I want to brawl. I want to bring my heart to the ring and entertain the fans. I’m going to do a little bit of everything.
I’m going to be the smarter fighter and I’m going to do what I have to do to win this fight. I think this fight is going to be even better than the first fight.
I need to really fight the best fight of my career. This is a huge fight and it’s the main event in Las Vegas. This is what I dreamed of. I’m seeing the benefits of all of the hard work I’ve put in.
Carl is a great fighter with great skills. He’s very respectful and I know that he does this for his family too. When you do this for your family, you do it with heart and hunger and you leave everything in the ring.
VERLOF ZLATICANIN
Garcia has very good timing and power, especially with the right hand. I don’t think he’s very flexible in the ring though. That will hurt him.
This is a big fight for me and my country of Montenegro. People love me there and I think the whole country will be awake to watch this fight.
I think I’m a stronger fighter and I’ve fought just as good opposition. It will be a good fight, but I am coming for the knockout victory.
I know how dangerous Mikey Garcia is and it’s a big deal that I get to defend my title against him. When they told me about this fight, I immediately accepted because I want to fight against the best.
People might not know about me right now, but after Zaterdag, they will know about me forever. This is a risky fight but a win would be huge for me and my country.
I can’t think about anything but the fight. I just want to get in the ring and show everyone my skills and my heart.
If Mikey avoids fighting me in the middle I could see it going 12 rondes, but I’ll definitely be looking for the knockout if I can get it.
It’s an unbelievable feeling to be here in Las Vegas. To be one of the stars of this show is fantastic. A lot of boxers dream of being in this position and I’m living it.
MIKEY GARCIA
I had time to experience a lot of things during my layoff that I hadn’t done before. Especially spend a lot of time with my family, but I always stayed in shape and that has kept me ready for this moment.
I think this was one of the best training camps that I’ve ever had. My focus is on lightweight and winning this title. Depending on how my body feels, I could see myself moving up to 140 pounds later this year.
This is a chance to add another chapter to my legacy. I just want to add to my legacy and the legacy of the whole Garcia boxing family. I’m going to leave my mark.
“Waren hier. Now that I’m back, I’m ready to take over. I’m taking on the biggest challenges available. These are opponents with the credibility that I need. These are the guys I can prove myself against. I want to take the title away from a legitimate champion.
Dejan is the most dangerous champion in the division. He has great power, but I believe in what I’ve got. We’re picking up right where we left off. Zaterdag night I’m going to add another title to the collection and give the fans more to enjoy.
This next stage of my career will be the biggest and best part of my career. Dejan believes he’s going to win and so do I. That’s the recipe for a great action fight.
LEE SELBY
I’m happy and excited to be fighting at the mecca of boxing in Las Vegas. I turned professional in 2008 and fought in small venues. Against all odds, I’ve made it here to be defending my title on this great stage.
I know that I need to look impressive in this one. It’s a great opportunity to be showcased on a card of this magnitude. I’m looking to really build off of what I did in training.
I worked so hard throughout this camp. I’ve treated it like I’m the main event and I know that will translate in the ring.
If I can get this victory and if Frampton wins again, that’s definitely the fight I’m looking at. It’s a massive unification in the U.K. and I think boxing fans around the world would be interested in that one.
Hopefully I’ll give you all a great show op zaterdag nacht. I’ll show my boxing and punching skills and walk out of the ring still a world champion.
DAVID Benavidez
I’ve been training very hard for this fight. It’s an opportunity to show my skills. I’ve been training for three months and I’m as ready as can be.
“Het wordt een geweldige avond van het boksen. You don’t want to miss it.
I believe I have a style that’s going to entertain fans. This is another challenge that’s in front of me on the way to a world title.
I’m ready to put on a big performance Zaterdag nacht. I hope that this will lead to bigger and better challenges for myself.
SHERALI MAMADJANOV
I’m very happy to be here. I’m excited to fulfill my dream to fight in Las Vegas. I’ve traveled all the way from Uzbekistan to take this fight.
I am going to leave everything in the ring in search of this victory. I want to make a name for myself and this is a great opportunity to do that.
JOSH TAYLOR
I’m so excited to be here in Las Vegas for the first time. I’m thrilled to be on such a big undercard so early in my career.
This has been a great training camp and I’m ready to bring that work into the ring and show my skills for the fans in Las Vegas.
I’m going to bring another victory back home with me and give everyone a great showZaterdag nachts.”
RICHARD SCHAEFER, Voorzitter & CEO van Ringstar Sports
The goal in this promotion was to make this fight as big as it could be and I hope you enjoy it op zaterdag nacht.
This is a card of winners. These fighters here have around 300 wins with only 30 verliezen. It’s also a card of punchers, with almost 200 knockouts between these fighters. Tickets beginnen bij slechts $50, which is an amazing value for this kind of card.
Zaterdag night will be the happiest place on earth for fight fans right here at the MGM Grand. I guarantee that Zaterdag night will be a spectacular night of boxing.
We want to continue to bring these great stacked cards to viewers in the United States and all around the world. If you look at the SHOWTIME boxing calendar, it is truly a great time to be a boxing fan.
This fight between Zlaticanin and Garcia could truly be a main event on almost any other card. This is two great champions fighting each other and it’s guaranteed to be exciting. This is a very dangerous fight for both fighters.
Leo always has a smile on his face, even when he gets punches. He is one of the most exciting fighters in the sport and one of the kindest guys. He really defines the word ‘entertainment.You will never see a boring fight when Leo is in the ring.
BARRY McGuigan, Voormalig wereldkampioen, Hall of Famer and Frampton’s Manager
I’m very excited about this great night. This is going to be a sensational fight. We have great respect for Leo Santa Cruz and his family. They’re great people and they can really fight.
This is a great main event and the undercard is spectacular. I don’t think I’ve seen one like this in a long time.
“Dit gaat om een ​​zware strijd worden, but we’re taking the belt home with us.
STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Executive VP & General Manager, Showtime Sport
SHOWTIME has televised more boxing events from the MGM Grand than any other network. It became our second home. We’re glad to be back and we’ll be back many more times.
We’re thrilled to present a fight the caliber of Lee Selby vs. Yoni Barros in a world title fight on SHOWTIME EXTREME, where so many great fighters have gotten their start.
In our main event, Frampton-Santa Cruz was the 2016 Fight of the Year. By wide consensus Frampton was the Fighter of the Year in 2016. This fight has a chance to become a great rivalry. It reminds me in many ways of the Marco Antonio Barrera and Erik Morales at featherweight, several of which took place at MGM Grand.
The first fight was so close that there was a difference of just 13 total punches in the 12 rondes. It was so action packed that nearly 80 percent of the punches landed, were power punches. It was so close a fight, that the fighters landed within six punches of each other, in 10 van de 12 rondes. That’s the definition of a close fight and we’re thrilled that these fighters agreed to a rematch so quickly.
Dejan Zlaticanin is one of the most avoided fighters at the lower weight classes. Mikey Garcia is not one who goes with the norm. Zlaticanin is the eighth consecutive opponent for Mikey who has held or fought for a world title. It’s a very special fight.
“Boven naar beneden, this card is what this sport can be at its best. These are hard-working, professional guys who are really a credit to the sport.
RICHARD STORM, President of Entertainment and Sports for MGM Resorts International
This weekend’s championship event marks the exciting rematch between Carl Frampton and Leo Santa Cruz. This international battle kicks off another year of sensational sports entertainment at our properties in Las Vegas.
We look forward to another Fight of the Year candidate as Frampton looks to remain undefeated while Santa Cruz looks to reclaim his belt. We look forward to seeing youZaterdag nachts.”

Hier is wat de deelnemers te zeggen had Woensdag from MGM Grand:

 

CARL FRAMPTON

 

“I think I’m going to get another win. I feel like I’ve been improving during training and I feel like I’m getting stronger and punching harder. If I have to go into the trenches again, I’m prepared to do that.

 

“This is my second fight at featherweight, so I think I’m getting more used to the weight. I feel more comfortable overall this time. Going into this fight, I have the psychological edge. I’m relaxed, excited and happy about boxing again.

 

“Leo and myself are both very motivated. I want to prove that the first fight wasn’t a fluke and that I’m a better fighter. I’m going to show that the awards I picked up last year are justified.

 

“I think if you look at Leo’s style, it’s exciting and it’s made him a three-weight world champion. The whole way through his career he’s fought with aggression. He has a high work-rate and he tries to bully opponents. I don’t think he’s going to do a lot different this time.

 

“If I can get a lead on the scorecards and make him desperate, that’s where I’m really going to capitalize.

 

“I believe that if I hit anyone in these weight divisions clean on the chin, they can go down and out.

 

“I believe that I’m going to face a very tough Leo Santa Cruz, zoals altijd. This is going to be another difficult fight, but if I make the adjustments I’ve had to in the gym, I’ll win the fight more convincingly.

 

“It’s great to see people already out here supporting me, but there are more coming. Most people arrive vanavond of morgen. This is just a fraction and it’s going to be really exciting on fight night.

 

LEO SANTA CRUZ

 

“I’m very excited and happy to be here. I know that this is going to be another tough fight. This is what we want. We want to give the fans great fights and I think this is going to be another war. I’m looking to go in there and get my belt back.

 

“It’s a dream come true to be fighting back at MGM Grand. I’ve wanted to fight here since I was a kid. I never thought it would come true, but now that it is, I’m honored and excited to be fighting in the main event.

 

“It was very hard to lose for the first time. I was disappointed in myself and I knew I had let my fans down. I got a lot of great support thought and I felt a lot better. It motivated me to get to this fight.

 

“I have to be smarter in this fight. I need to be more patient. Frampton is a great counter-puncher so I think I need to counter the counter puncher. I’ll use my reach and do a little bit of everything to get the win.

 

“I think this will be even better than the first one. I’m more determined and hungrier this time and I think Carl Frampton is too. We’re going to come with everything we’ve got.

 

“I look at Carl Frampton and I see myself because I know that he is doing this for his family. Dit is wat we doen. Once we get in that ring, het is allemaal zaken. We respect each other outside of the ring.

 

“I can feel that it’s going to be a great atmosphere. This is where we want to be and these are the kinds of fights we want to be in.

 

“I know a lot of Irish people will be out to support Carl Frampton and I know the Mexican fans will be here to support me. Dat is wat ik wil. We both deserve support because we’re going to give a great fight for the fans.

 

“We want a trilogy. If I get the win, I will happily give him a third fight and make this a great rivalry that goes back-and-forth.

 

“Sinds ik begon met boksen, I’ve been throwing a lot of punches. The kids couldn’t take my pressure and they said I destroy them like an ‘earthquake.’ That’s where ‘Terremoto’ comes from.”

 

VERLOF ZLATICANIN

 

“I’m very happy to be here for this huge event at MGM Grand in Las Vegas. I’m very grateful to my team for making this fight possible. We’re striving to be the best. I’m a world champion and I’m going to leave the ring a champion. Mikey can try and take away my belt, but he’s not going to be able to do.

 

“I’m going for a knockout. I’m the kind of fighter who is going to be aggressive. I always want to impress the fans and give them excitement.

 

“If Mikey stands in the pocket with me, it will be a short night. If he wants to box, it will take a little longer. But My goal is still to knock him out.

 

“It’s going to be hard in Las Vegas to get a decision against a Mexican icon like Mikey Garcia and this is why I’m trying to make it exciting and bring the fight to him.”

 

MIKEY GARCIA

 

“I love to jab and use it to set up other big punches. It’s a foundation for everything, even defense. A lot of fighters don’t use it, but I could use it for an entire fight. All of those big punches can change a fight, but the jab sets everything up.

 

“This fight is a great opportunity for me and I’m going to take advantage of it. This is a new division for me and I believe I’m facing the toughest guy in the division. This is going to be a great division for me. I feel fast and strong and really believe you will see the best Mikey Garcia at lightweight.

 

“Had I been fighting during my layoff; I would probably be close to retiring by now. The time allowed me to go enjoy life and my family and come back to the sport with a new mindset and ready to work.

 

“There are still a lot of things that I want to accomplish in this sport. This would be my third division with a world title. I would obviously want to unify titles or go after title at 140-pounds. I’m going to do whatever it takes to elevate myself in this sport.

 

"Dit is een geweldig gevecht. Dejan is going to come to win. I’m coming to take his title. It’s going to be a great show but I feel that I’m going to win a world title in my third-division.

 

“If I could get the winner of the Jorge Linares-Anthony Crolla rematch, and claim supremacy in the division, dat zou geweldig zijn. I’ll go anywhere in the world to do it and I definitely want these challenges.

 

“I think this is going to be a great fight but I do believe that I’m going to become the new world champion op zaterdag nacht."

 

LEE SELBY

 

“This is massive for where I came from. To build myself up to this moment is amazing and I’m excited to be here.

 

“I think every boxer dreams of fighting in Las Vegas, especially in the U.K. We’ve watched Floyd Mayweather fight here for years and we want to emulate that. It’s not an unrealistic dream now.

 

“My opponent is a big physical guy with a lot of experience. He can definitely punch and he’s going to try throw shots from an unorthodox position. Hopefully my angles will help me be successful.

 

“I think people have been overlooking my fight. It’s going to be a very tough battle. I don’t think it’s going to be an easy fight, but if I can come through okay it would be a massive fight against Carl Frampton next. I think it would be one of the biggest in the U.K.

 

“Having already fought in the U.S. is valuable because it helps me know what to expect. But fighting in Las Vegas will be different. Carl Frampton has brought a lot of fans over and we’ll see whether they cheer or boo me. Either way it’ll be a good atmosphere.

 

“It was hard to pick a winner between Frampton and Santa Cruz in the first fight and I was sitting ringside. I’m rooting for Carl Frampton this time so we can make that huge unification fight.

 

“This is a great opportunity for fans to see two international stars like Carl and myself in-person and we’ll certainly put on a great show.”

 

DAVID Benavidez

 

“I trained really hard for this fight. I have a strong, tough opponent but I’m going to go in there and prove to everybody that I can be the best.

 

“I’ve always wanted to prove to my older brother (unbeaten welterweight Jose) that I could do this just like him and make a name for myself in the sport. I’m looking to be part of a new generation of fighters.

 

“This is a good fight for me on my way to a world title shot. I’m just working hard to get better every day so that I can earn my spot in the ring with the top guys.

 

“I think my time is coming. If I can keep performing and taking advantage of these opportunities, my goals are in reach.

 

“I think I’m going to be at 168-pounds for a while. I make the weight comfortably. I’m hoping to get a world title opportunity in that weight class first.

 

“I just want to be an exciting fighter. I want to be a fighter that everyone gathers around the television to watch. I always want to give the fans a great fight. I think I can do that while becoming one of the best fighters in boxing.”

Carl Frampton-Leo Santa Cruz II Fight Week is officially here and SHOWTIME Sports® kicks it off with this video as both fighters reflect on their thrilling firefight last July and their plans for the eagerly anticipated rematch this Zaterdag, Jan. 28, live op Showtime® (10 p.m. EN/7 p.m. PT) van MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

 

Frampton, the consensus 2016 Fighter van het Jaar, narrowly outpointed Santa Cruz to become a two-division titleholder last July on SHOWTIME.

 

“You always need a dance partner, and Leo Santa Cruz could be mine,” Frampton said.

 

“Hopefully, that night it goes my way and we get the third fight and we make it a trilogy,” Santa Cruz said.

CARL FRAMPTON & LEO SANTA CRUZ REVEAL THEIR MOTIVATION FOR JAN. 28 REMATCH IN INTIMATE CONVERSATIONS WITH MARK KRIEGEL

The Reveal with Mark Kriegel: Leo Santa Cruz: http://s.sho.com/2k1ZoZ0

 

Carl Frampton and Leo Santa Cruz sat down with SHOWTIME Sports® reporter Mark Kriegel as they prepare for their eagerly anticipated rematch next Zaterdag, Jan. 28, live op Showtime® (10 p.m. EN/7 p.m. PT) van MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The interviews are the latest in a reoccurring SHOWTIME Sports digital series, THE REVEAL with Mark Kriegel, featuring exclusive and in-depth interviews with boxing’s emerging stars.

 

Frampton, the consensus 2016 Fighter of the Year who narrowly outpointed Santa Cruz to become a two-division titleholder last July on SHOWTIME, opens up about growing up during “The Troubles” in Belfast, his unique bond with Hall of Fame mentor Barry McGuigan, and how his legacy could forever be connected to Leo Santa Cruz.

 

A three-division world champion, Santa Cruz discusses the pain of his first defeat, the affect his father’s battle with cancer had on his training, his plans for the rematch and hope for a legendary rivalry.

 

Below are bites from the separate interviews:

 

KRIEGEL: “You make good on your father’s dream, and now you’re scared of him dying. The cancer – how did you train?"

SANTA CRUZ: “It was hard, it was hard to train, to concentrate. I still went to the gym and trained, (maar) I didn’t train as hard. I didn’t train as the other fights because my dad wasn’t there. My dad was going to chemo, he was going to radiation…I thought to myself, maybe tomorrow he won’t wake up.”

 

KRIEGEL: “What did you tell your father after you lost?"

 

SANTA CRUZ: “I told my dad, sorry. I’m sorry we didn’t get the win and that I disappointed you. My dad told me, ‘that’s alright. You didn’t disappoint anybody. We’re going to get him in the rematch.’ ”

 

FRAMPTON INTERVIEW:

KRIEGEL: “Ali and Frazier had each other, Leonard and Duran had each other. In order to be recognized as a great fighter you need an epic antagonist. And for all the talk, you might actually have one in Leo.”

 

FRAMPTON: “I would like that – I would like a rivalry where in 20, 30 years from now people remember it. You always need a dance partner, and Leo Santa Cruz could be mine.”

 

KRIEGEL: Barry says you could end up as the greatest of all the Irish fighters. Aren’t you almost beyond that already? Aren’t the stakes already higher?

 

FRAMPTON: "Niet Doen, potentially I could be. After Santa Cruz I want to continue to fight big names and be involved in big fights. There’s never been a Northern Irishman, apart from myself, to win a world title in two weight divisions. If I set my sights sometime in the future for the 130-pound division and become a three-weight world champion, I may feel comfortable calling myself the best Irish fighter of all time.”

 

KRIEGEL: “Barry represented a symbol of peace during one of the darkest times in Northern Ireland. What does Carl Frampton represent?"

 

FRAMPTON: “People want to look at me as a new figure for Northern Ireland. I’m a Protestant, married to a Catholic. This is a new age thing.”

LAS VEGAS (Januari 17, 2017) – Ongeslagen wereldkampioen vedergewicht Carl Frampton hosted media at his training camp in Las Vegas Tuesday ahead of his highly anticipated rematch with former three-division world champion Leo Santa Cruz opZaterdag, Januari 28 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena and live on SHOWTIME.
Uitgezonden dekking begint bij 10 p.m. EN/7 p.m. PT met ongeslagen lichtgewicht wereldkampioen Dejan Zlaticanin strijden tegen voormalig wereldkampioen in twee divisies Mikey Garcia.
Frampton was joined by undefeated prospect Josh Taylor; who’s 10-round super lightweight contest is set to be featured as part of bonus coverage on SHOWTIME EXTREME at 8 p.m. EN/PT.
Here is what the participants had to say Tuesday from Porter Hy-Performance Center in Las Vegas:
CARL FRAMPTON
This camp has been even better than the last one. I had a few problems with my hand during the last training camp but this camp has been brilliant. I’ve been able to put a lot of effort into every session.
I’m hungry to prove that this wasn’t a fluke. I see some people talking on the internet that I got lucky last time or that Leo would have won with his father in camp the whole time. But I believe there is a lot more to come for me. I’ve been performing better this camp than ever before. I think I win this fight more convincingly.
I think Leo is a confidence fighter. I think his pride has made him go straight back to the deep end again. He’s always been bigger than his opponents. At both bantamweight and super bantamweight he was bigger. Even though Leo is taller than me, I’m the bigger man. On fight night I’ll be heavier and stronger than him. He’s been able to bully opponents and wear them out, but he can’t do that to me. I think he’s making a big mistake jumping right back in.
I got drawn in to Leo’s type of fight last time, which made it very exciting. Because of our styles, it’s always going to be a good fight. If it’s two wins to nil for me, I’d rather move on and fight someone like Lee Selby. I just want to be involved in big fights.
“Duidelijk, being from where I’m from, fighting in New York was a major appeal, and a lot of guys on the East Coast are attracted to an Irish fighter they haven’t seen before. So I got a lot of new support from the East Coast. We brought a lot of people across with us, ook. But now, to be fighting, topping the bill at the MGM in the fight capital of the world, it’s something I never really thought about when I was a kid or when I turned professional. I never really believed I could get to this. But it’s here, and I’m hoping that it can continue for a long time.
We’re staying at Robert Guerrero’s training camp house, which is a big thing for me in itself. We drove past the MGM Grand and saw my face on the side. That was pretty surreal in itself. I just can’t wait to soak it up.
This was a big fight enough in New York, now I think it’s going to be like New York on steroids. I can’t wait to soak up the atmosphere on fight week, can’t wait for all of my fans to get here, I think it’s going to be a real carnival atmosphere and people are going to enjoy it.
Fighting Leo Santa Cruz in the United States, a 3-weight world champion who a lot of people thought was going to beat me and beat me comfortably, that was a big deal. That was the real turning point of my career. And I think there’s more to come. Ik ben 30 in februari, but I don’t feel any signs of slowing up.
I genuinely feel like I’m getting better and I think Leo’s going to be in for a tough night here. If I can do what I’ve been doing here in the gym, perform like I’ve been performing in sparring, I’m hurting sparring partners, knocking sparring partners out. I feel like I’m developing, developing into a proper featherweight and I feel like he’s going to be in for a tough night.
We’ve got a chef in the house that we’re staying at, cooking and preparing our food. We’re training at Shawn Porter’s gym here. It’s a great facility and they’re looking after us, Shawn and (Kenny) Slijtage. It’s nothing really to deal with apart from the time difference. I reckon it takes a day for every hour of time difference.
JOSH TAYLOR
This is the first time I’ve been in Las Vegas and I’m definitely a little star struck by the strip and the big buildings. I’m really have a great time though and it’s a good experience.
This is a great setup we have here at the gym and I’m getting a lot of good work here. I’ve been sparring with former world champion Shawn Porter and Cuba’s Yordenis Ugas. I couldn’t ask for better work.
I feel very confident. I’m getting great preparation. It’s not every day you get to spar with guys like this, especially with only seven fights under my belt. I’m feeling really good.
SHANE McGuigan, Frampton and Taylor’s Trainer
Training camp has been going really great. Santa Cruz feels like he didn’t have his best performance last time but I don’t think Carl was at his best either. I think we’ll see the same victory this time.
Carl’s confidence is through the roof. He never lacks in that department. He always rises to the occasion. He performs his best when he’s out there in front of a huge crowd. Leo Santa Cruz is going to bring out the best of Carl Frampton.
Fighting in Las Vegas is amazing. This is what Carl has been dreaming about since he was a kid. I’ve been dreaming about it too. My father was an amazing fighter but this is a new era of massive crowds coming across the globe. It all starts on Januari 28 and it’s going to be a great time.
BARRY McGuigan, Frampton's Manager, Former World Champion and Hall of Famer
It was definitely Carl’s toughest fight but I think Carl is still getting better. I think Carl will win even more convincingly this time, but it’s going to be a great fight every time they meet because of the clash of styles.
Carl has knocked out at least two of his sparring partners in preparation for this. He’s looking very strong and he’s working very hard.
Santa Cruz is talking about using his range, but I think that’s all smokescreens. Once that bell rings he’s going to come straight at Carl and we’ll be in for another great fight.
We had the option to squeeze in a mandatory defense before the end of last year. But we thought it was best to rest and get this big fight in by the end of January.
