SEVERNÍ HOLLYWOOD, KALIFORNIE. (Říjen 26, 2021) – Neporažený dvojnásobný mistr světa David "The Red Flag" Benavidez a jeho starší bratr, dlouholetý uchazeč José Benavidez, před tím, než vstoupí do ringu ve svém rodném městě Phoenix, prohlédli si svá zúčtování, Ariz. v sobotu, Listopad 13 živě na SHOWTIME na akci Premier Boxing Champions z Footprint Center.

David bude bojovat s bývalým šampionem José Uzcategui v souboji o vyřazení titulu v super střední váze, který je hlavním titulkem této události, zatímco José čelí Argentině Francisco Emanuel Torres v 10kolovém co-main eventu. Bratři Benavídezové se zaměřují na zapůsobení na fanoušky svého rodného města v dlouho očekávaných zápasech o návrat domů v listopadu 13, což bude znamenat jejich první vstup do ringu ve Phoenixu od té doby 2015.

Vstupenky na koncertě, kterou propagují Sampson Boxing a TGB Promotions, jsou nyní v prodeji a lze je zakoupit prostřednictvím Ticketmaster.com.

Tady je to, co bratři Benavídezové, plus jejich otec a trenér Jose Benavídez Sr., musel říct ze soustředění v severním Hollywoodu, Kalifornie:

DAVID BENAVÍDEZ

„V táboře bylo všechno úžasné. Sparringujeme 12-13 kola a běh šest nebo sedm mil denně. Pracoval jsem velmi tvrdě a nemůžu se dočkat, až v listopadu vystoupím 13.

„Uzcátegui je těžký soupeř a byl bývalým mistrem světa, takže mu musím dát tu úctu. Na obzoru jsou pro mě velké boje, takže se musím na Uzcátegui náležitě připravit.

"Cítím se jako nejlepší bojovník. Mám lepší schopnosti, více síly, větší rychlost a taky mám větší hlad. Pro můj tým to bude skvělá noc. Cítím, že tam půjdu a vyhraju knockout.

„Spousta lidí ve Phoenixu je z toho nadšená. Jsem nadšený, že se vrátím. Načasování je perfektní. Pro mě, tohle je největší zápas mé kariéry. Jsem připraven na vše, co mě v listopadu potká 13.

"Jsme prostě zaměření na Uzcátegui.", ale v budoucnu mě samozřejmě čekají větší boje. Jestli tenhle boj vyhraju, Jsem na prvním místě pro každého, kdo vyhraje mezi Canelo Alvarez a Caleb Plant.

"Tváří v tvář Canelovi by byl obrovský boj v super střední váze.", ale v listopadu tam musím jít 13 a získat toto vítězství jako první.

"Právě teď, s úrovní, na které jsem, bojovníci, se kterými se snažím bojovat, jsou šampióni a bývalí šampióni. Ať už je to Canelo, Plant nebo Jermall Charlo, Mám pocit, že jednou všichni skončíme proti sobě.

"Canelo vs. Plant je velký boj o divizi. Je to boj, kde oba kluci musí hodně dokázat. Tyto druhy bojů mají tendenci přinést ze všech to nejlepší. Na lince je velký tlak a spousta slávy, takže mám pocit, že budou nejlepší, co kdy byli. Příště se připravím na vítěze.

„Jsem profesionálem už osm let. Chci jen ty největší boje venku. To je úroveň, na které jsem dlouho pracoval, a v tuto chvíli jsme konečně tady. Chci bojovat s nejlepšími z nejlepších a dokázat sám sebe. Chci ukázat, že jsem nejlepší super střední váha na světě.

„Uzcátegui je silný a má vůli vyhrávat, ale prostě věřím, že mám lepší schopnosti. To jsou typy bojovníků, se kterými se musím otestovat. Určitě to bude válka, ale vyjdu navrch."

JOSE BENAVÍDEZ

"Je to skvělý pocit být na této kartě s mým bratrem.", a abych se vrátil do svého rodného města. Bude pro mě velká podpora. Je to skvělý pocit a těším se, že svým fanouškům poskytnu skvělý výsledek.

"Musel jsem si dát pauzu, ale teď mám jiný druh myšlení. Chci jen bojovat dál, trénovat a zůstat připraveni. Chci se dostat do čela super velterové váhy.

„Zpoždění mi dalo více času na trénink, více času na posílení a více času na přípravu. Právě jsem z toho vytěžil maximum.

„Budu zvíře v noci boje. Přijdu si pro všechno. Mám hlad. Byl jsem roky mimo ring, tak se musím vyjádřit. To je to, co chci udělat v listopadu 13.

"Máme tady skvělý tým. Všichni jsme přišli z ničeho a všichni jsme začali tuto cestu ve stejnou dobu. Učili jsme se den za dnem a to je to, co posiluje naše pouto. Bez mého týmu, neboxoval bych.

„Mám spoustu přátel, rodinu a fanoušky, kteří se chtějí vrátit. To je opravdu to, co mě motivuje. Jsem rád, že mě lidé stále chtějí vidět v ringu.

„Já nevím, moc o své soupeře, a je mi to upřímně jedno, protože ho sundávám. Bez ohledu na to, koho přede mnou dali, ať se jim daří.

„Po mém boji, kterou předčasně ukončím, Budu připraven odejít se svým bratrem a podpořit ho v jeho boji.

„Během tohoto volna jsem trávil spoustu času se svou ženou a svými dvěma dcerami, protože bylo tolik věcí, kvůli kterým jsem dříve ve své kariéře nemohl být.. Bylo to úžasné, ale jsem nadšený, že se vrátím. Musím toho ještě hodně dokázat."

JOSÉ BENAVÍDEZ SR., Otec a trenér Davida a Josého

"David teď vypadá velmi silně.". S každým bojem je silnější a silnější a dospívá víc a víc. Jen získává sílu svého muže, takže si myslím, že každý uvidí něco velkolepého listopadu 13.

„Slovy ani nedokážou popsat, jaké to je, vrátit se do Phoenixu a trénovat své dva syny na tuto velkou show.. Je to něco, o čem jsem jen snil. Nyní se to děje, a jsme super nadšení.

„Jako trenér se musím neustále přizpůsobovat a růst. Musím pochopit, že už jsou to dospělí muži. Musel jsem je přestat považovat za své malé děti. Vždy se snažím učit víc, abych mohl co nejlépe podporovat jejich kariéru.

„Jsem na Josého super hrdý, že se po zranění dostal až sem. Všechno, co teď dělá, je jen něco navíc, je na něm, aby zůstal soustředěný a tvrdě pracoval. Je velmi silný jak fyzicky, tak psychicky, a proto jsem se ho nikdy nevzdal.

„Věnovali jsme se a obětovali každý den, abychom mohli našim lidem ve Phoenixu předvést opravdu dobrou show. Budou mít vzrušující noc a já se nemůžu dočkat."

Unbeaten Two-Time World Champion David Benavídez Will Battle Former Champion Jose Uzcategui in a WBC Super Middleweight Title Eliminator Saturday, Srpen 28 Živě na SHOWTIME

Unbeaten Super Bantamweight Contender Carlos Castro Faces Former Title Challenger Oscar Escandon To Open Telecast
na 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT

PHOENIX (Červenec 29, 2021) – Neporažený dvojnásobný mistr světa David "The Red Flag" Benavidez will square off against former champion Jose Uzcategui in a WBC Super Middleweight title eliminator as Benavídez returns to his hometown of Phoenix for the first time in six years in the SHOWTIME main event on Saturday, Srpen 28 in a Premier Boxing Champions event from Footprint Center – home of the Phoenix Suns and Mercury.

Showtime CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING televizní vysílání začíná 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT and will feature the much-awaited return of longtime contender Jose Benavídez, starší bratr Davida Benavídeze, čelí Argentině Francisco Emanuel Torres in the 10-round super welterweight co-main event. Kicking off the telecast is undefeated contender Carlos Castro proti bývalému soupeři o titul Oscar Escandon v 10 kole Super bantamové zápas. The Benavídez brothers and Castro hail from Phoenix and have their sights set on impressing their hometown fans.

Vstupenky na koncertě, kterou propagují Sampson Boxing a TGB Promotions, jsou nyní v prodeji a lze je zakoupit prostřednictvím Ticketmaster.com.

“I am happy to be bringing David ‘El Bandera Roja’ Benavidez back to his hometown to fight after so many years away,” said Sampson Lewkowicz of Sampson Boxing. “It is going to be a sensational welcome party for him and all the fans.”

Still just 24-years-old, Benavídez (24-0, 21 KO) enters this fight having knocked out his last four opponents, including a September 2019 knockout of two-time super middleweight champion Anthony Dirrell. V poslední době, he earned stoppage victories over Roamer Alexis Angulo in August 2020 and Ronald Ellis in March of this year. Benavídez is trained by his father José Sr., alongside his brother and former title challenger, José Jr. V 2017, he became the youngest super middleweight champion in boxing history by defeating Ronald Gavril on SHOWTIME at just 20 let. Representing his native Phoenix, Ariz., Benavídez went from a 15-year-old prodigy sparring with Gennady Golovkin and Peter Quillin, to world title contender with a 10-fight knockout streak from 2015 přes 2017, including a highlight-reel knockout of Rogelio Medina with a seven-punch combination that earned him his first title opportunity.

“I’m super excited to fight in front of my hometown fans,” said Benavídez. “It’s a dream come true for me to come back home as a two-time world champion. I’m training for Uzcategui like he’s a world champ because he has a lot of experience and he’s a hungry fighter. I know that he needs this win, but I won’t let that happen. I’m staying dedicated and motivated to win on August 28 on SHOWTIME and I want to look impressive doing it in order to get even bigger and better fights in the future.”

Born in Venezuela and fighting out of Tijuana, Mexiko, Uzcategui (31-4, 26 KO) captured a 168-pound world title in March of 2018 by stopping veteran contender Andre Dirrell after eight rounds. The 30-year-old put himself in position to fight for a title with four-straight stoppage victories from 2015 přes 2016, including a win over then-unbeaten Julius Jackson. Since losing the title to unbeaten champion Caleb Plant in January 2019, Uzcategui has rebounded to win three of his last four fights, including knockout wins in 2021 over Jaime Hernandez Lopez and Josue Obando.

“I’m excited to be back on the big stage for this fight,” said Uzcategui. “I know what I’m up against with Benavídez. Je to velký bojovník, and that’s my biggest motivation. This is going to be a war and I can’t wait to give the people a great fight. Both of us come to brawl, so this is going to be a classic on August 28.”

The 28-year-old Benavídez (27-1, 18 KO) is the older brother of main event headliner David and returns to fight in his hometown of Phoenix for the first time in six years. A long-established contender, Benavídez will return to action for the first time since dropping a 147-pound title showdown to Terence Crawford in October 2018. Benavídez had previously earned wins over contenders such as Mauricio Herrera, Francisco Santana and Frank Rojas on his way to that world title opportunity.

“I’m really excited to be back in the ring after being out for a while,” said Benavidez. “I feel more mature, motivated and stronger than ever. Fighting alongside my brother and in my hometown is really a dream come true. I’m really looking forward to making a tremendous comeback. It doesn’t matter who they put in front of me, I guarantee that I’m going to take them out. No one is going to want to miss this night, because me and my brother are bringing the fireworks.”

A native of boxing-rich Buenos Aires, Argentina, Torres (17-3, 5 KO) enters this fight the winner of his last nine contests dating back to 2018. The 31-year-old will fight in the U.S. for the third time on August 28, having scored stateside victories over Cleotis Pendarvis in August 2020 and Louis Hernandez in February of this year. Torres most recently won a unanimous decision over Alexi Rivera in June as he prepares for his toughest fight to date against Benavídez.

“I’m very pumped up for this fight,” said Torres. “I want to thank my whole team for this opportunity to participate in such an important fight. This is a great chance for me to go to the next level against a great fighter who’s had an exceptional career. I will work very hard to get the victory on August 14 and raise high the flag of Argentina.”

Castro (26-0, 11 KO) has climbed the rankings since turning pro in 2012 as he seeks a shot at a super bantamweight championship. The Phoenix-native added two victories in 2020, defeating Jesus Ruiz in February before stopping longtime contender Cesar Juarez in four rounds in July. Castro was coming off a 2019 campaign that saw him score three victories, including 10-round unanimous decision triumphs over former title challenger Genesis Servania and veteran contender Mario Diaz.

“I’m very grateful for this opportunity to fight an excellent opponent in Oscar Escandon,” said Castro. “I’m very motivated to put on a great performance in front of my hometown fans. Srpna 28, I’m going to be ready to showcase all of my skills and hard work in the ring so I leave with my hand raised.”

A native of Ibague, Kolumbie, Escandon (26-5, 18 KO) has faced a slew of top contenders and champions including featherweight champion Gary Russell Jr. and super bantamweight champion Brandon Figueroa, plus hard-hitting contender Tugstsogt Nyambayar. Escandon captured an interim title in 2016 when he knocked out Robinson Castellanos to earn his world title shot against Russell. V poslední době, Escandon scored a first-round knockout over previously unbeaten contender Jhack Tepora in December of 2019.

I’m very focused on training for this fight because I know a win can lead me back to another world title opportunity,” said Escandon. “Castro is a good young fighter who has a solid jab and can move. But I think he’s the perfect opponent for me. There are a lot of things we can do to win this fight and I can’t wait to go in there on August 28 and show it.

LOS ANGELES (Leden 13) – The challenger proved to be the aggressor as Caleb Plant became the IBF Super Middleweight World Champion, defeating Jose Uzcategui in the main event of the first Premier Boxing Champions on FS1 and FOX Deportes event of 2019, which took place at the Microsoft Theater at L.A. Live in Los Angeles. Plant dominated the whole fight as he maintained a fast and aggressive pace from the opening bell.

With scores of 116-110 a dvakrát 115-111 in favor of Plant, the freshly crowned champion, Plant fell to his knees overcome with emotion when he heard “and the new!".

“I’ve worked my whole entire life for this,” said Plant. “I buried my daughter in the process of trying to get this belt. I promised I would bring her this title and that is what I am going to do.”

The super middleweight barnburner started out strong with both combatants throwing exchanges, but Plant did everything in his power to never back down. Uzcategui threw hard right hands to start the second round, but Plant quickly turned the round in his favor as he knocked Uzcategui to the canvas with a flurry of punches, only the third time Uzcategui had been knocked down in his career. A small cut opened under the left eye of Uzcategui to start the third, but he fought through it and fended off Plant’s aggression. One minute into the fourth round, a cut opened up under Plant’s right eye causing blood to stream. That did not stop the Nashville native as threw a hard left hook that once again sent Uzcategui to the canvas.

As the fight progressed, the Venezuelan was unable to utilize his distance, thus allowing Plant to fight on the inside. Despite good exchanges in the seventh and eighth, it became increasingly clear that Uzcategui would need a knockout to hold onto his belt. Uzcategui flipped a switch in the championship rounds and came forward, throwing hard blows to the body and head of Plant. But it was too little too late for Uzcategui as Plant’s ring generalship controlled the pace of the fight, ultimately ending in a unanimous decision.

I knew I caught him clean [when I knocked down Uzcategui], but I knew he wasn’t all the way out so I took my time,” continued Plant. “I stayed relaxed. I stuck to the game plan and got it done just like I said I would.

This is overwhelming. I am a kid who came from nothing. I believed in myself and now I’ve been crowned king. Právě teď, I am not thinking ahead. I just want to embrace this moment and soak it in.” 

“I did feel that I had the advantage heading into the fight,” said Uzcategui. “I went down because I was off balance, but I wasn’t hurt. He started to get tired around the sixth round, which was the plan. Caleb knew how to clench and hold. He was smart. He knew how to stay away from the punches.

“I expected more movement and more boxing out of him,” continued Uzcategui. “I would love the rematch. I think everyone saw a great fight tonight. I gave him the chance at the title and I would hope he would give me the chance to win it back.”

Unbeaten Brandon Figueroa (18-0, 13 KO) z Weslaco, Texas faced former world title challenger Moises Flores (25-2, 17 KO) Guadalajara, Mex. in a WBA Super Bantamweight title eliminator. Figueroa wasted no time attacking Flores in round one as he came forward and threw several hard lefts followed by a body shot that seemed to surprise Flores. S 30 sekund zbývá na kole, Figueroa went for the body and worked Flores on the inside. While Flores seemed to find his footing at the start of round three, Figueroa unleashed a flurry of punches that sent Flores to the canvas once and then a second time that ended the fight at 1:35 ze třetího kola.

“Break him down and finish him,” said Figueroa “This is exactly how I expected it to go. I knew that he wasn’t going to handle those body shots. My message to Daniel Roman is that I am going to go home and prepare.

“I used that body work,” continued Figueroa. “I am really strong. I came in at 110 percent and did my job. Mohl jsem to udělat lépe. I am really hard on myself. I know there are things I can continue to work on and will do that as soon as I get home. I am most definitely ready for a title shot.”

Fast-rising undefeated star and PBC Prospect of 2018 Joey Spencer (6-0, 6 KO) of Linden, Mich., continued his impressive knockout streak as he defeated Brandon Harder (2-2, 1 KO) of Southaven, Slečna, minout., in a super welterweight contest that saw Spencer knocking down Harder three times in less than two rounds. The 18-year-old Spencer, who fought 100 bojuje jako amatér, established his jab early and landed at will. He threw and landed a straight right at the end of round one that sent Harder to his knees. Forty-five seconds into round two, Spencer sent Harder to the canvas again followed by a swarm of punches that ended the fight at 1:27 z kola.

“Fans are going to see that I give it my all when I get in the ring and I’m going to put on a show,” said Spencer. “You’re going to get more and more tests in my career and I believe I will rise to the level of my competition. Sometimes you’re in there with an awkward guy, he proves to be a test. I’ll move to six rounds for my next fight. I want to fight four times this year and I’m looking forward to it.”

The Premier Boxing Champions Prelims on FS1 featured three bouts that all ended in exciting knockout victories, kicking off a great night of fights.

The Prelim telecast featured the long-awaited ring return of Guillermo Rigondeux (18-1, 12 KO) who hadn’t fought since December 2017. The Cuban fan-favorite faced Giovanni Delgado of Tacubaya, Mex. (16-9, 9 KO) and knocked him out in the last second of round one with an overhand left. Delgado could not be saved by the 10 count and the fight was called in favor of Rigondeux.

This is my division. To je můj čas,” said Rigondeaux. “I am the king of 122 liber. Cítil jsem se 100 procento. Delgado is a good fighter. I take my hat off to him and his team. I came prepared and I am ready to face people that are undefeated. Whoever has a belt, I am taking it. You can expect me back in less than two months.

“I fought my idol tonight,” said Delgado. “I knew he hit hard, but I didn’t know he hit that hard. I have been cleared by the doctor and am fine. Just a little bit in shock.”

A scheduled eight-round light heavyweight bout featuring Egypt’s Ahmed Elbiali (18-1, 15 KO) against 16-year veteran Allan Green (33-6, 22 KO) Tulsa, OK saw Elbiali knock Green down in every round. Nicméně, Green did showcase his experience choosing to go toe-to-toe despite Elbiali’s aggression. Nakonec, it was a right uppercut followed by an overhand right that sent Green to the canvas as Elbiali scored a knockout at 1:16 na třetím kole.

“I was easier than I thought it was going to be,” said Elbiali. “Losing to Pascal the way I did, it messes with you mentally. I was trying to stay on my A-game. Stay focused and thankfully it showed. My game plan clicked really well. I have been sparring with Caleb (Rostlina) and other great guys. That keeps you sharp and alert. I would love to win a world title and be the first Egyptian win a world championship.”

In the opening bout of the Premier Boxing Champions Prelims on FS1, Mexican Olympian Lindolfo Delgado (8-0, 8 KO) of Linares, Mex. continued his professional knockout streak as he defeated Sergio Lopez (22-13-1, 15 KO) of West Covina, CA via knockout at 2:48 ze třetího kola. Delgado has yet to fight 30 rounds in his eight fights as a professional. He was clearly the aggressor throughout the fight and landed almost 50 percent of his power punches.

Dirrell přesunul svůj tréninkový tábor do Oaklandu, aby trénoval s Hunterem a získal moudrost z pobytu ve Wardovi. Ward ze své strany, cítí, že Dirrell v ringu ještě nedosáhl svého potenciálu.
“To, co k Andreovi cítím, je to, co jsem vždy cítil, nebe je limit,” řekl nedávno penzionovaný Ward. “Má od Boha dané schopnosti a talent dělat v boxerském ringu, co chce. Jinými slovy, je požehnán takovými dary, že jestli se rozhodl, že se nenechá mlátit a jestli se v táboře pořádně připraví, bude velmi těžké ho porazit.
“S bojovníkem s Andreho zkušenostmi a rodokmenem, je to méně fyzické a více psychické. Chcete být šampionem a chcete ovládnout svou divizi? Pokud je odpověď ano, což věřím, že je, pak jdi do toho. Zní to jednoduše a v mnoha ohledech to tak je, ale musíte být velmi úmyslní, abyste podmínili svou mysl, aby takto myslela a skutečně tomu věřila. To je důvod, proč trénuje s Virgilem v Bay Area. Fyzický trénink, mentální příprava & duchovní příprava. Na všem záleží.”

Jaké jsou některé nuance, které Virgil přináší, a bude tvůj dědeček, Leon “Nárazník” Lawson, zůstaň ve svém rohu?
“Virgil mě učí podobně, jako mě učil můj dědeček, a mohu snadno říci, že pokračuje tam, kde můj děda skončil. Můj dědeček do mě vložil můj talent, což ze mě dělá bojovníka, o kterého si musel Andre Ward dělat starosti.
“Ale můj dědeček už opravdu nemá schopnost koučovat, protože je v počáteční fázi demence, ale pořád ho mám v koutě, a vždycky budu. Virgil převzal vedení, a tohle je bar-žádný, to nejlepší, co jsem cítil, mentálně, v mé kariéře. Na Virgilovi jsou maličkosti, kterým jsem se musel přizpůsobit.
“Virgilův smysl pro humor je syrový, hravé a vážné zároveň. Když se na minutu zastavím, řekne mi, „Vyřazení trvá jednu sekundu.’ Učí s vášní, směr a zůstává zaměřen na daný úkol, opravdu chci, abys vštípil, jak důležité věci jsou, psychologicky.”
Jak blahodárná je atmosféra ve Virgilově tělocvičně?
“V tělocvičně je pozitivní aura, což je vítězné prostředí. Když vejdete do té tělocvičny, je čas pracovat. Virgil vám to dá vědět jednoduše tím, že na vás zírá. Plakáty Andre Warda máte všude kolem sebe, další bojovníci’ plakáty kolem vás. Bojovníků je hodně’ tváří nahoru na stěnách tělocvičny, včetně Andreho Berta.
“Určitě se inspiruji, protože atmosféra má co nabídnout, pokud jde o trénink. Máte hory, pláže. A samozřejmě, nakonec, máš Virgila, který má v sobě cit a způsob, jak ve vás vyvolat ten oheň a dostat ho z vás ven. U Virgila je nejdůležitější naslouchat.”
Jakou radu jsi dostal od Warda??
“Andre ve skutečnosti nikdy neváhal nabídnout radu a vždy tu byl, aby mi ji poskytl, vůbec žádný problém. Andre byl vždy srdečný a upřímný, když mě chtěl vidět držet mistrovský pás. Věřím, že se toho letos dočká.
“Ale dokážu si to představit teď, když je mimo hru, může to dělat volněji. Nedávno jsem s ním vedl 45minutový telefonický rozhovor o Ježíši Kristu, ale, tváří v tvář, mluvili jsme docela často. Přišel na pár mých sparingů a přijde na pár dalších.
“Vždycky jsme si povídali a dobře jsme se bavili, a byl docela inspirací, kromě toho, že jsem boxer. Andre má v ringu i mimo něj důvěru, takže je to jeden z nejlepších kluků v mém životě jako motivátor pro život mimo box i mimo něj.”
Rozbil Virgil boj s Uzecategui?
“Virgil sledoval boj několikrát, a bitvu jsem viděl několikrát. Oba jsme se shodli na tom, že chyby byly určitě všechny moje, a oba souhlasíme s tím, že jsem nevyužil svou generálku.
“I s chybami, kterých jsem se dopouštěl, Stále jsem našel svou drážku. Slyšel jsem sám sebe, jak říkám, že jsem dostal jeho načasování a přebírám řízení až do konce boje.
“Uzecategui je bojovník, ale to je vše – není žádný boxer. Má skvělé úderné schopnosti, ale ne skvělé dovednosti a není rychlý, takže očekávám, že na mě zaútočí jako při prvním souboji. Ví, jak dát dohromady jedna-dva-tři, a má hlad.
“Pokud jde o box, Budu ho muset něco naučit o tom, jak se tato hra skutečně hraje. Není pochyb o tom, že jsem první zápas udělal těžší, než musel být. Dívám se na ten první zápas s takovou sebedůvěrou.
“Vím, že jsem proti tomu bojoval nesprávně, ale stále jsem se vracel. Vyhrál první, druhé a případně třetí a čtvrté kolo, ale vracel jsem se. Takže tentokrát, Mám v plánu toho kluka tak frustrovat, že bude úplně mimo svou hru.”

Horce vybojovaný první zápas mezi Dirrellem a Uzcateguim, což bylo také pro prozatímní světový titul IBF, skončilo kontroverzí poté, co byl Uzcategui diskvalifikován za úder pěstí po zazvonění, které ukončilo osmé kolo. Dirrell byl upuštěn a sražen úderem. Rozhodčí rozhodl, že úder byl úmyslný a Uzcateguiho diskvalifikoval. V odvetě nařízené IBF, Dirrell a Uzcategui se budou snažit postavit se do pozice, aby mohli bojovat o titul v super střední váze, který Caleb Truax nedávno získal díky většinovému rozhodnutí nad Jamesem DeGaleem..
Dirrell (26-2, 16 KO), držitelem bronzové medaile za 2004 U.S.. Olympijský boxerský tým, pokračuje ve své snaze o mistrovství světa. 34letý jih z Flintu, Michigan při prvním pokusu prohrál s Carlem Frochem 2009 a upustil úzké jednomyslné rozhodnutí na DeGale v jeho dalším pokusu v 2015.
“Jsem nesmírně nadšený, že mohu být součástí jednoho z nejdynamičtějších tripleheaderů tohoto roku,” řekl Dirrell. “Tentokrát budu fenomenální a nenechám nikoho na pochybách, kdo je lepší bojovník. Já jsem 100 procento se zaměřilo na ovládnutí Uzcategui v březnu 3 a získat další šanci na titul.”
27letý Uzcategui (26-2, 22 KO), který je z Venezuely a nyní žije v Tijuaně, Mexiko, se do zápasu proti Dirrellu propracoval šňůrou čtyř vítězství v řadě stopek, včetně ohromujícího rozrušení Juliana Jacksona 2015. Uzcategui shodil Jacksona čtyřikrát na cestě za technickým knokautovým vítězstvím ve druhém kole.
“Jsem velmi nadšený, že si půjdu pro to, co je moje,” Said Uzcategui. “Cítím, že jsem vyhrál poslední boj. Neměl jsem pocit, že bych udělal něco špatně. To, co se stalo v posledním boji, je minulostí. Dostanu to, co mi patří. Svět uvidí, co ‚Bolivita’ umí a budou mě chtít vidět víc.”

National Harbor (Květen 20) – From the MGM National HarborPan.” Gary Russell Jr., (28-1, 17 KO) had a successful homecoming in front of a nearly sold out crowd as he defended his WBC Featherweight World title with a seventh-round stoppage against the very tough, strong-willed Columbian Oscar Escandon (25-3, 17 KO) v hlavní události Showtime CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING.
Russell Jr. took control of the action from the outset, peppering the shorter Escandon at will and dropping him in the third.
Nicméně, the brave Escandon fought his way back into the fight in the fourth and fifth stanzas, but Russell stormed into the seventh, battering the hurt Escandon and dropping him early, causing referee Harvey Dock to stop the fight at the 0:59 značka kola (Klepněte na tlačítko ZDE to watch the TKO).
About the victory, Russell Jr. řekl, “V první řadě, I want to say happy birthday to my father. Secondly, I’d like to tell all the fans that came to support me: I love you all. Děkuji.
I fought a tough competitor. I knew Escandon wanted to come and bring his best. I knew he was going to come forward. I was ready for him. We are warriors.
I want Lomachenko [další], that’s a no-brainer. I don’t want to do it for the fans or for the media, I want to do it for myself. And I want to do it twice. I’ll knock him out the first time and then, he’ll want me to fight him again.
I’d love to unify against all the other guys in the featherweight division. I’d like Leo Santa Cruz, Lee Selby, Oscar Valdez.
About the knockout loss, “I was getting my rhythm going and I felt like Gary was getting tired. I didn’t see him coming with the big punch he threw at the end and that was it. I went down and was hoping to get a 10 count, but the referee didn’t give it to me and he stopped the fight.
I knew that Gary was going to go fast from the first to the fifth round and it was part of my strategy to let him do that and get tired. It didn’t work unfortunately.
Now we need to go back to the drawing board to rest and see what my manager has planned for me.
Said trainer and father Gary Russell Sr., “I’m ecstatic. I’m really happy. I got three wins. Three stoppages. It’s my birthday. Já jsem 15 minutes from home and I can go home and relax.
We prepared fully for Mr. Escandon. We knew he was going to do what he didcome forward. I don’t want to diminish or take anything away from Mr. Escandon. He really is a hard, rough fighter. Throughout the course of the fight, I instructed Gary to hit him with some good shots. Some hard shots. It is a brutal sport.
Co-featured on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING in a 12-round clash for the IBF Interim Super Middleweight Title, Pazourek, v Michiganu Andre Dirrell, (26-2, 16 KO), was declared the winner after round eight as Jose Uzcategui, (26-2, 22 KO) Merida, Venezuela, was disqualified for a punch after the bell sounded to end the eighth round.
Uzcategui started fast, battering Dirrell from the opening round, cutting off the ring and slamming away with body and head shot through the first three rounds. Dirrell saw success starting in the fourth round, countering Uzcategui and scoring
dobře.
Over the next four rounds, the contenders traded even as the fight became more hotly contested. At the end of the eighth round, with Dirrell backed into a neutral corner, Uzcategui let loose with a three-punch combination, the last left hand hitting the southpaw after the bell as he fell to the combination.
Following a delay to allow medical personnel to attend to Dirrell, referee Bill Clancy declared that Uzcategui was disqualified with Dirrell being declared the winner.
Said referee Bill Clancy about his decision, “The bell rang to stop the round. The round was over and Andre [Dirrell] was knocked out with an illegal punch. So therefore, Dirrell will win this fight by disqualification.
That’s a blatant foul. Earlier in the fight, I had warned Uzcategui. I warned him. Dirrell wins the fight, he was clearly unable to continue.
About the ending, řekl Dirrell, “All I remember was him [Uzcategui] throwing a shot at me at the same time the bell rang. After that everything was blurry. I remember a shot and then all went fuzzy.
I forgive Uzcategui. I forgive his camp. I don’t want to win a championship like this. I wanted to win fair and square. But I forgive him.
Following the decision, Dirrell’s trainer and uncle Leon Lawson punched Uzcategui in the corner, sparking a brief altercation in the ring that was quelled by MGM National Harbor security and local police.
I’m sorry for what my coach has done. My coach is my family, my uncle, and he was worried. He cares for me. He loves me. Please forgive him.
I’m going to stand up like a man. I didn’t win like I wanted to, but I’ll be back. I’m going to come back as soon as they let me.
Stated a very disappointed Uzcategui, “I felt very good. I was hurting him the entire fight. I felt like I could hurt him anytime I wanted. Nothing he hit me with hurt me.
I was throwing a three-punch combination and I didn’t hear the bell. I didn’t mean to hit him. The third punch wasn’t that hard of a punch. I was surprised he stayed down.
He did the same thing against Abraham that he did against me tonight. He quit against me and he quit against him. I deserve to be the winner.
The live televised fights in The Theater kicked-off with two-division world championRances Barthelemy (26-0, 13 KO) winning a 12-round unanimous decision over valiant Kiryl Relikh, (25-3, 16 KO), of Baranovichi, Byelorussia. Scores in the WBA Super Lightweight eliminator were 116-110, 115-111 a 117-109.
The opening two rounds of the fight featured excellent action with both fighters attempting to impose their will. In the third round Relikh suffered a low blow resulting in a two-minute delay, nicméně, no point deduction was made by referee Kenny Chevalier. Following the low blow, the shorter Relikh became much more aggressive.
With the undefeated, blue-haired Barthelemy switching stances often in the fourth stanza, he was able to score at will against Relikh.
Nicméně, Relikh came out charging in the fifth, battering away against Barthelemy who was caught against the ropes and scoring a knockdown when the ropes held the Cuban up from a barrage of hard punches.
Recovering nicely in the sixth and seventh, Barthelemy badly hurt Relikh with a multitude of body shots from both hands.
In the eight round Barthelemy truly turned the tide for good in the ninth, drilling Relikh to the canvas with a blistering left hook to the body. Through the championship rounds it was all Barthelemy who finished strong against the game but outgunned Relikh.
Said the victorious Barthelemy, “It feels great to be going forward. The 11-month layoff really took a toll on my body and I felt it in the ring.
I knew it was a close fight but knew I should get a unanimous decision.
Relikh was a hard hitter. He surprised me with a right hook in the 5th round and I hit the canvas, so I knew I had to be careful going forward. I knew I had lost that round and had to come back stronger.
I took the sixth round to take a breather and then I came back to work the body. Once I knocked him down, I saw that he was hurt and protecting himself upstairs a lot more so I knew I was going to have to be more strategic to come out victorious.
Replied a very disappointed Relikh, “Of course I thought I won. Even TV thought I won. The referee did his job when he called it a knockdown in the fifth. I thought it was over.
The two low blows definitely affected me. It takes the wind out of you. This is boxing not MMA.
Hot super bantamweight prospect Gary Antonio Russell zlepšil na 8-0 with six knockouts with a dominating performance and knockout stoppage of Puerto Rico’s Jovany Fuentes, (7-9, 6 KO). Following knockdowns in the second and third stanzas, the bout was called to a halt at 0:22 na třetím kole.
Making his pro debut, extra lehký Gary Antuanne Russell, (1-0 1 KO) wasted no time dropping Joshua Ross, (2-4-4) of Monroe, LA to the canvas three times enroute to a stoppage victory at the 2:25 mark of the initial stanza.
Gervonta Davis went on the road in the first defense of his IBF Junior Lightweight World Championship and made a statement with an emphatic third-round TKO of previously undefeated local favorite Liam Walsh in the opening bout of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING from Copper Box Arena in London.
The southpaw Davis (18-0, 17 KO) set the pace from the opening bell, connecting seemingly at will with a strong left hook. Ve třetím kole, America’s youngest world champion floored Walsh with a strong left after a series of brutal connecting combos on the inside. Walsh got up, but the onslaught continued seconds later and referee Michael Alexander stopped the championship bout at 2:11, with Walsh defenseless and on unsteady legs.
Tonight we were in the groove,” Davis said. “I think he was hurt pretty bad. The ref did his job and it was just a matter of time. I used my boxing IQ tonight and picked my shots, and when I picked my shots I got him out of there.
I’m still on the rise. I became a champion super-fast, but I’m still rising and there’s more to come.
Promoter Floyd Mayweather was ringside in London to support his fighter, who he’s christenedthe future of boxing.
Walsh (21-1, 14 KO), who entered the bout as the No. 1 challenger and the decided local favorite at Copper Box, was disappointed with the stoppage.
He’s very fast, very active, but that was too quick,” Walsh said. “He won fair and square, but sometimes they stop the fight too early. I never got an opportunity. I’m not saying the result would be different, but give me a chance.
I’d love to fight him again. I’d fight him for next to nothing.

LONDÝN (Květen 19, 2017) – nejmladší mistr světa Ameriky, Gervonta Davis, and undefeated No. 1 contender Liam Walsh both tipped the scale at the 130-pound limit during Páteční official weigh-in at the 133-year-old Theatre Royal Stratford East for Sobotní IBF Junior Lightweight World Championship on SHOWTIME.

V sobotu at the sold-out Copper Box Arena in London, the 22-year-old “Tank” Davis (17-0, 16 KO) will attempt to become the first American to successfully defend his title on British soil in nearly a decade. The 30-year-old Walsh (21-0, 14 KO) will aim to dethrone a man labeled by Davis promoter Floyd Mayweather as “the future of boxing” in the first defense of his IBF crown.

The referee for Davis vs. Walsh is Michael Alexander, and the judges are Howard Foster (Anglie), Robin Taylor (Spojené státy americké) and Deon Dwarte (Jižní Afrika).

With fans chanting “Walsh is gonna get you” as Davis stepped on the scale, the Baltimore native narrowly missed the 130-pound limit by two ounces. Per IBF rules, Davis was given two hours to shed the extra ounces and successfully made weight approximately 90 minut později.

"Cítím se dobře,” Davis said. “I’m ready.”

After the weigh-in, Walsh downplayed the tense stare down and words exchanged during the faceoff.

"Zítra we’ll lay hands on each other for real and the best man will come on top. I’m gonna win. I’m going to give every last ounce of what I’ve got.”

Davis vs. Walsh je součástí split-site, four-fight SHOWTME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast that begins on Sobota, Květen 20, na 6 p.m. A/3 p.m. PT.

Russell Jr. was joined by his brothers, 2016 U.S.. Olympian Gary Antuanne Russell a nepřekonané vyhlídky Gary Antonio Russell, as the trio of brothers look to pick up a hat trick of victories in their hometown Sobota night and on the birthday of their father and trainer, Gary Russell Sr.
Zde je to, co se účastníci museli říkat Čtvrtek from MGM National Harbor:
GARY RUSSELL JR.
I never magnify an event, even though it’s at home. The end objective is still the same. But I think it’s cool that everyone in our neighborhood has the opportunity to be in the arena and see what we do.
“Já jsem 100 percent physically and mentally ready for the challenge and I’m on top of everything I can be.
When you get caught up in the hype, it’s a deficiency in yourself. You have to be able to focus on the objective over everything else.
I believe in my ability but also the ability of my brothers. So I’m not nervous for them. I know what they’ve been taught. They conduct themselves like young men in and out of the ring.
I want a unification bout after this. I’m ready for any of the other world champions. We can line them all up in the same night if you want. If I can’t get those fights, I’m going to move up in weight and bully around these bigger guys.
I look at each fighter as their own individual. We don’t prepare the same way for every opponent. He’s a tough fighter who comes forward. He’s very physical and I expect him to be at his best v sobotu. It’s up to me to counteract what he does.
“Miluji tento sport. Miluji to, co dělám. I love being able to prepare for no one else, but the person across the ring and then dismantling him.
We worked on versatility most. We believe in the sweet science. A lot of these guys just win because they’re stronger and faster. We want to be more technically sound too.
OSCAR Escandon
This is a very important fight for my career. This is going to elevate me to where I want to be and give me the platform to do anything in the sport. I’m very well prepared for this.
I feel strong and healthy at 126-pounds. I’m focused on this fight Sobota noc. I’ll fight anyone but right now I have to get past Gary Russell Jr.
In my last fight I was the underdog. People counted me out. Same thing applies here. I’ve done the work and I’m confident that I’m going to win.
I didn’t have complete training camps with my past trainers, but now I’m with Ruben Guerrero. I’m learning so much. You can look at me in my previous fights and you’ll see a vast improvement now.
I want that green (WBC) belt a lot. Green is my favorite color. I want to be the best and to me, winning that title signifies that I am the best. To do that I have to beat the best, and that is Gary Russell Jr.
I don’t like to talk much but I will say that I’m coming to bring this world title back to Colombia. I respect Gary but my mindset is that I’m taking this title home.
ANDRE DIRRELL
It’s been a long hard journey for me. But I’ve always managed to climb back on top. The hard work that I’ve put in will make Sobota night easy work.
My opponent is a fantastic fighter. If anyone should be in line for a title it’s this guy. He has the the power and he has the skill. I just believe he’s up against a better and tougher opponent.
I’m going to get in the ring and display all of my abilities. I’m very confident and ready. It’s time for Andre to get on top and stay on top.
I’ve been out of the ring for a while but most importantly, I’ve stayed in the gym in training the whole time. I’ve kept positive mentally as well. Everything is going upward right now and I’m going to take advantage.
Uzcategui has everything a world champion needs to get to that title, but he’s facing a more skilled competitor on Květen 20. He’s deserving of the opportunity and that’s why I trained so hard for this fight.
The title means the world to me. We fight for the titles first. We’re all coming from the amateurs where we got trophies. My love will always be here with the sport until the day I retire.
JOSE UZCATEGUI
You won’t want to miss any of these fights v sobotu noc. It’s a great card and I’m planning to steal the show.
I like when my opponent talks a lot. None of the stuff my opponent says can help him in the ring. It’s just me, him and our fists.
It’s a lot of responsibility to be the top contender for the belt. I have to make it clear that we deserve this so that I can move on to bigger and better things.
People are going to get to see my power on display Sobota noc, but also my other skills. I can do it all in the ring and I’m going to prove it.
After this I want to take on James DeGale and Gilberto Ramirez. I’m coming to clean out this whole division and be undisputed. It starts v sobotu.”
Rances Barthélemy
I’m living a dream right now that I myself never in a million years imagined. Every time I get to speak with my mother in Cuba, I tell her of this dream that I am currently living and how it is still surreal to me. To be able to fight on these big cards in the U.S. after the long journey, after all the setbacks, I could not be any more grateful.
Being a world champion in two different weight divisions is something still unreal to me after people doubted whether I would even become a world champion one day. But this journey does not stop here for me. I have the urge to keep on going, make history for my people, and fight the big names in boxing.
Everyone in my team supports and motivates each other because we know we as Cubans have to work twice as hard as everybody else. There is an unfair representation of Cuban boxers among the press and fans here in America. We are misconstrued as being boring fighters therefore we are determined to erase that stigma and prove to everyone that we can brawl and put on a good show just as much as we can box.
I have been working on some new and different things to add to my arsenal this training camp. My whole team has been incredible and pushed me every day.
“Nenechte si ujít tento boj v sobotu noc. It’s going to be eventful and exciting. I’m coming to get a spectacular win.
KIRYL RELIKH
I’m very happy to be here and be a part of this great show. I will do my best to give a great fight v sobotu.
Camp was perfect. I have a great team and I’m ready for anything. We worked hard and it’s going to be a great performance.
I’m ready for any style that that Rances Barthelemy can bring into the ring. We thought that we got the win in Scotland against Ricky Burns, but it is very hard to win on points on the road.
I always fight in different countries so this is just another one on my list. It’s normal for me. I’m very ready for the challenge and I’m expecting a great fight.
I hope that people like my style. I’m going to entertain the fans and get a victory over Rances Barthelemy v sobotu noc.”
GARY ANTUANNE RUSSELL
I get to pick up right where I left off after the Olympics. I’m fighting on the same night with my brothers for the first time in so long. It was one of my first amateur fights when we last did it.
“Já se cítím opravdu dobře. We’re making a statement and we’re making history. What’s not to be excited about?
Mentally and emotionally the Olympics really helped me for the pros. You have to develop over time. We’re constantly training and sharpening our tools. This is a different stage, to je vše.
I hope everyone is ready for Sobota noc. There were some mishaps at the Olympics. Life is going to throw you bumps to get over, a to je to, co budu dělat. Everyone better keep their eyes open Sobota, because it might be quick.
GARY ANTONIO RUSSELL
I’m really excited about this fight and competing alongside my brothers. It feels good to come home and fight. My family and friends will be in the building.
I can’t wait to get in the ring and show what we’ve been working so hard on. All the hours in the gym with my dad and brothers is going to pay off on fight night.
I’ve seen some video of my opponent. I know his weaknesses and strengths. We’re going to come exploit it on fight night.
GARY RUSSELL SR., Father and Trainer of the Russells
We work hard in the gym. Everybody has a plan until they get hit. We know that he’s going to bring pressure and we’ll be ready for it.
I’m really happy about this opportunity. We can get it all done in one night and put on a great show for everyone.
I’m definitely in fight mode. There are no extra nerves at all. I just want to get this done and get it done right.
I can’t really put Escandon in the same category with the top guys we’ve faced. He’s a short fighter. Most people in these weight classes are taller than Gary. At that size, the only way you can fight is straight forward. He’s not going to out box us.
RUBEN GUERRERO, Escandon’s Trainer
We’re ready over here. We’re going to do what it takes. Víme, co jsme proti. He’s one of the best. We’ll prove who is the best v sobotu. This is going to come down to a war. Gary knows what he’s going against.
I helped Escandon set up a camp in Las Vegas for this fight because this was a huge opportunity. We were up in the mountains and that’s where I wanted him. He’s going to be great on fight night. He’ll be ready to go. It’s not easy to train in Vegas.
“Přicházíme vyhrát. We can’t control the judges but we know they’re fair. We’re expecting a fair shake. We’re going to control what we can.

LONDÝN (Květen 18, 2017) – IBF Junior Lightweight World Champion Gervonta Davis, neporažený No. 1 contender Liam Walsh and promoter Floyd Mayweather got into a jarring session during Čtvrteční final press conference at Landmark Hotel in London just two days before Sobotní world title clash on SHOWTIME from Copper Box Arena.

 

Baltimore’s “Tank” Davis, Nejmladší mistr světa Ameriky, will attempt to become the first American to successfully defend his title on British soil in nearly a decade*, while Walsh (21-0, 14 KO) aims to dethrone the man that Mayweather has christened the “future of boxing.” (*Poznámka: Paulie Malignaggi vs. Lovemore Ndou in 2008)

 

Davis vs. Walsh je součástí split-site, four-fight SHOWTME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast that begins on Saturday, Květen 20, na 6 p.m. A/3 p.m. PT. V hlavní události, Gary Russell Jr. uskuteční svou druhou obhajobu titulu v pérové ​​váze a dlouho očekávaný návrat domů proti povinnému vyzyvateli Oscaru Escandonovi živě z MGM National Harbor kousek od Washingtonu, D.C..

 

22-letý Davis, who has won by knockout in 16 z jeho 17 profesionální boje, will make the first defense of the IBF belt to won via KO over previously unbeaten Jose Pedraza in January. The 30-year-old Walsh has won by knockout in three of his last four bouts and will be a decided local favorite at an expected sold-out Copper Box Arena.

 

The pound-for-pound great turned promoter Mayweather and Walsh’s two brothers, fellow professional fighters Michael and Ryan, led the jarring during Čtvrteční festivities with Mayweather claiming “I’m 40 years old and I’ll kick all three of your asses in the same night.”

 

Team Walsh was “not intimidated one little bit” by Mayweather or Tank, while the southpaw Davis promised “V sobotu night you’ll be on your ass. And then your brothers can get in next.”

 

Below are highlights of what the participants had to say ve čtvrtek:

 

GERVONTA DAVIS:

“I’m just on a whole different level. I do know they built you good, but you’ve been dropped before. They’ve been protecting you from the power, so I know you have no chin. V sobotunight you’ll be on your ass. And then your brothers can get in next.

 

“Please don’t run Sobota noc.

 

“I’ve just been trying to stay level-headed. Getting that belt brings me that much closer to what I want to do – to take over the sport of boxing. With the performance I put v sobotu night it will bring me a step closer to being the star of boxing and follow after Floyd Mayweather.

 

“Having Floyd in my corner gives me a lot of confidence. Floyd has been pretty hands on with me, he’s been getting up and training and running with me. He was my hero in the sport of boxing coming up so to just have him in my corner now is amazing.

 

“I won the belt and now my focus is to take over the sport.

 

“Growing up in Baltimore, it has a high crime rate. It’s been tough. Where I’m from the gym is in the hood. If it wasn’t for the gym I’d either be in jail or dead. That’s not what I want to be. Boxing saved my life.”

 

LIAM WALSH:

“I’m always confident. As I’ve said many times, his performance against Pedraza was very good. I applaud him. Tank is the best fighter I’ve come up against in my career so far, but I’m also the best fighter he’s going to come against in his career so far. So it makes for a great fight.

 

“He’s physically very good. He’s very fast, very powerful. He’s a good puncher and performed beyond his years against Pedraza. You can’t knock his performance whatsoever, but there’s still a lot of questions that he has to answer.

 

“The southpaw stance doesn’t affect me too much. I can switch between the two. I’m comfortable in both stances so that doesn’t bother me.

 

“I don’t think I can put it into words what it would mean to win the title. It’s been a dream of mine since I was a little child. The feeling, the emotion, I can’t put it into words. This is the biggest night of my life.

 

“There are definitely flaws in his game and they’re there for me to exploit. I plan to take advantage of his mistakes. Když jsem byl 22, there were definitely mistakes I made that I wouldn’t make now. So maybe it’s the perfect time to fight him.

 

“I’m not intimidated one little bit. Not by Floyd, not by Tank, not by anyone.

 

“I predict I will win the fight. I wouldn’t be shocked if I won by knockout, I wouldn’t be shocked if I won on points. You won’t see me celebrating like a mad man if I knock out Tank because I know I’m capable of it.”

 

FLOYD Mayweather:

“It’s not just one performance. It takes more than just one performance. We truly believe that he can be a great fighter, but he came in his last fight with only 16 fights and beat the champion. We know he’s not going to lay down. This kid has dynamite in both hands. If he keeps going out there beating great fighters he cannot be denied.

 

“When its lights, kamera, action and the bell rings, 17 times he came out victorious and 16 prostřednictvím (knokaut).

 

“His team does a remarkable job, but it’s my job as a friend and a father figure to tell him to come to Vegas to get him the best work. We wanted him to have different looks. We want guys that were going to push him, give him different styles.

 

“This kid, he busts his ass day in and day out. We’re going to continue to go out there and do what we do.

 

“I already conquered your country once (with Ricky Hatton) and now we’re going to conquer it again v sobotu.

 

“I don’t miss being in the gym at all. If I can push this fighter to surpass me and break every record, that’s a goal of mine. That’s what we’re here to do. Záznamy jsou, aby se porušovala.

 

“I remember when I met Tank on the Canelo (Alvarez) press tour and he asked to take a photo with me. When I took a photo with him I said, ‘there’s something about that kid that looks special.’

 

“He came to my gym and put in some real good work and I reached out to him and said, ‘whatever it takes to work with you and get you to the next level, let’s make it happen.’ I told him, ‘if you listen to me and continue to work hard I truly believe you can be world champion v 24 měsíce.’ And that’s just one stepping stone. As of right now he’s one of the only fighters in boxing facing back-to-back undefeated fighters.

 

“Frank Warren, Liam Walsh, we just want to commend you guys for stepping up to the plate and making this fight happen and giving the fans what they want to see. The fans want to see blood, pot a slzy.

 

“Tank is always in tremendous fights, he’s a big knockout artist. I truly believe in my man, and I want to work with him until the end of his career.”
