Berikut adalah apa yang para peserta harus mengatakan Hari Kamis:
DANNY GARCIA
“Dapat bermitra dengan Philabundance adalah hal yang luar biasa. Pada akhir hari, itulah intinya. Saat Anda beruntung, tugas Anda adalah memberi kembali dan mengubah hidup orang lain. Saya menantikan malam yang menyenangkan dan jumlah pemilih yang besar.
“Setiap orang pernah melalui masa-masa sulit. Setiap orang pernah melewati masa-masa di mana mereka membutuhkan bantuan ekstra. Kami akan membuat perbedaan besar malam itu dan ini akan bermanfaat bagi banyak orang yang benar-benar membutuhkannya.
“Saya ingin mengucapkan terima kasih kepada Kota Philadelphia. Saya hanya bersemangat untuk bertarung di rumah. Kartu ini akan memungkinkan banyak petarung lokal yang hebat untuk tampil di panggung besar.
“Saya tidak bisa mengabaikan Samuel Vargas dan saya tahu pelatihnya memiliki beberapa trik. Saya tahu mereka akan datang untuk bertarung, tapi aku tidak akan pernah meremehkan siapa pun. Saya telah belajar untuk menjadi juara seperti sekarang ini.
“Saya tahu Vargas tahu cara menang. Dia telah memenangkan banyak hal dalam kariernya. Saya akan pergi ke sana dan bertarung. Jika itu menempuh jarak, maka itu terjadi. Saya tidak bisa meremehkannya. Saya akan menampilkan pertunjukan hebat dan mendominasi.
“Orang-orang bertingkah seperti Keith Thurman yang memiliki jubah seperti Superman dan bisa terbang. Saya ingin para juara lainnya menganggap saya rentan. Itu adalah pertarungan termudah saya. Saya harus melewati pertarungan ini untuk melanjutkan ke pertarungan berikutnya.
“Saya merasa berhutang budi kepada penggemar saya untuk bertarung di Philadelphia. Terakhir kali saya bertarung di venue ini adalah dengan undercard Bernard Hopkins dan saya mendapat KO besar. Saya berencana melakukan hal yang sama November 12.
“Saya memiliki tim yang bagus di sekitar saya. Seharusnya tidak ada gangguan menjelang pertarungan ini. Semua orang yang berhak mendapatkan tiket akan hadir dan tidak akan ada apa pun yang mengganggu saya. Saya m 100 persen fokus pada pertarungan ini.
“Saya berada pada titik dalam karir saya di mana saya bekerja lebih cerdas dan lebih keras. Seperti November 12 kami ingin memberikan kota Philadelphia malam yang tak terlupakan. Saya tidak bisa mengabaikan pertarungan ini, tapi saya jamin saya akan menyatukan judul-judul di 147 pound segera.”
SAMUEL VARGAS
“Saya sangat diberkati berada di sini hari ini. Pertarungan ini bisa mengubah seluruh hidupku. Kehidupan keluargaku. Danny adalah petarung hebat dan saya harus memberikan segalanya.
“Saya harus memanfaatkan ini. Saya mempunyai pelatih terbaik di dunia dan kami akan mengurus bisnis ini November 12.
“Saya dan pelatih saya mengerjakan banyak gaya berbeda. Kami ingin mengubahnya dan membuat lawan terus menebak-nebak. Terkadang kami menekan dan terkadang kami tetap berada di luar. Saya belajar setiap hari dan membuat penyesuaian.
“Saya seorang yang tidak diunggulkan dan saya telah melakukannya sepanjang hidup saya. Hanya ada sedikit pilihan bagi imigran Latin yang tinggal di Kanada. Saya mengalahkan segala rintangan untuk mencapai kesuksesan di sana dan memiliki kehidupan serta keluarga.
“Saya seorang pria yang baru saja berakhir 10 pertarungan amatir dan saya telah berhasil sejauh ini. Danny Garcia adalah kesempatanku. Saya harus melakukan yang terbaik dan memberikan segalanya. Ini segalanya bagiku.”
JARRETT HURD
“Saya pernah ke Philadelphia beberapa kali dan kota ini menyambut saya. Saya hanya ingin mengadakan pertunjukan lain. Ini akan membuat saya selangkah lebih dekat dengan impian saya untuk memperjuangkan gelar.
“Kami telah melihat beberapa laga lawan saya dan ia adalah seorang veteran. Ia memiliki kekuatan yang besar dan tingkat KO yang bagus. Dia canggung dan tinggi. Jika Anda tidak berada di puncak permainan Anda, dia bisa membuatmu terlihat buruk. Kami ingin melakukan apa yang selalu kami lakukan.
“Saya belajar banyak dari pertarungan terakhir saya. Itu membuka banyak pintu bagi saya, seperti bertarung dengan undercard Danny Garcia. Saya merasa seperti sayalah yang hilang dari divisi ini. Saya seorang yang tinggi, petarung kurus dengan banyak kekuatan dan kecepatan tangan yang bagus.
“Waktu saya di sini. Saya merasa ini adalah kesempatan saya untuk semakin dekat memperjuangkan gelar juara dunia. Saya tidak sabar untuk menjadi juara dunia.
“Saya ingin menghadapi semua beban seberat 154 pon. Kami tidak menghindari siapa pun. Ada begitu banyak petarung berbakat di divisi ini, tapi saya yakin saya dan tim berlatih keras dan mempersiapkan diri dengan sangat baik sehingga kami siap menghadapi mereka semua. Waktunya akan tiba dan kita tinggal menunggu.
“Ini adalah kesempatan luar biasa untuk menjadi undercard Danny Garcia karena kami semua berusaha untuk mencapai posisinya saat ini.. Pastikan Anda menyaksikan laga saya karena saya berjanji akan melakukan sesuatu yang berkesan.”
OMAR DOUGLAS
“Saya hanya ingin mengatakan bahwa ini adalah kesempatan sekali seumur hidup untuk bertarung di Philadelphia, tempat karier saya dimulai. Saya memenangkan Sarung Tangan Emas Pennsylvania beberapa kali.
“Berada bersama mantan juara dunia adalah hal yang luar biasa. Saya akan memanfaatkan peluang ini sepenuhnya. Aku sudah lama menunggunya dan inilah waktuku.
“Fortuna adalah petarung yang sangat percaya diri. Dia suka memberikan segalanya pada beberapa ronde pertama. Saya akan masuk dan menggunakan jab saya dan berinvestasi pada tubuhnya. Saya pikir kita bisa tidur lebih awal.
“Saya yakin saya memiliki pukulan terbaik dalam bisnis ini. Saya harus menjauhkannya dari saya dengan gerakan jab dan kepala. Saya telah berjuang untuk waktu yang lama dan tidak ada yang belum saya lihat.
“Saya rasa saya telah mengalami banyak kemajuan. Melawan orang-orang dengan satu kekalahan dan orang-orang peringkat dunia dalam beberapa pertarungan terakhir saya telah membantu saya. Kepercayaan diri saya pasti meningkat setiap harinya.
“Anda dapat menantikan penampilan dan KO yang menyenangkan penonton.”
ANGEL GARCIA, Pastor Danny & Pelatih
“Danny pernah menjadi pihak yang diunggulkan sebelumnya. Lucas Matthysse atau Amir Khan, sebut saja. Kami tidak meremehkan Vargas. Kami tidak menganggapnya enteng. Kami akan bersiap untuk bergemuruh.
“Vargas adalah tim yang diunggulkan saat ini, tapi Danny selalu diunggulkan sepanjang hidupnya.November 12 anakku akan tetap tak terkalahkan.
“Saya datang ke Philadelphia pada usia enam tahun. Saya tidak punya makanan. Hanya kamu yang tahu kamu kesakitan. Saya makan banyak makanan dari kaleng saat tumbuh dewasa, jadi jika kalian berdonasi sesuatu atau membeli tiket yang mendonasikan uang, kamu akan melakukan sesuatu yang hebat. Kami berdoa setiap hari untuk anak-anak yang kelaparan, tidak hanya di Amerika tetapi seluruh dunia.”
BILLY BRISCOE, Vargas’ Pelatih
“Ini adalah kesempatan besar bagi saya dan Samuel. Menurut pendapat saya, dia adalah petarung yang diremehkan. Dia berada di bawah radar untuk sementara waktu. Kami telah bekerja sama di Kanada dan memulai sistem pertanian.
“Menurut pendapat saya, kami bertarung melawan petinju kelas welter terbaik di dunia. Ini bukanlah tugas yang mudah dan kami tidak membodohi diri sendiri. Kami tidak akan membiarkan kebutuhan bisnis terlewat.
“Kami akan menemukan jalannya dan kami akan mencari jalan keluarnya. Itulah yang akan kami lakukan dan saya menantikannya.”
MARSHALL KAUFFMAN, Raja Promosi
“Sangat menyenangkan bisa mempromosikan pemuda ini, Danny Garcia. Saya mengingatnya saat masih kecil dan sangat menyenangkan melihat perkembangannya dalam dunia tinju. Saya sudah mengenal banyak orang-orang ini sejak lama dan saya sangat antusias melihat kinerja mereka.
“Kartu ini akan diisi dengan talenta lokal dan saya berharap semua orang keluar dan mendukung para pejuang ini dan tujuan besar ini.
“Saya selalu ingin membawa Danny Garcia ke Philadelphia dan komisi sangat senang bisa membawanya kembali ke kota besar ini dan kami akan menjadikannya bermanfaat.”

Jarrett Hurd Knocks Out Oscar Molina In Opening Bout Of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® di CBS, Presented by Premier Boxing Champions, Dari Barclays Center Di Brooklyn

BROOKLYN (Bulan Juni 26, 2016) – Prizefighting returned to CBS pada hari Sabtu with a Fight of the Year candidate as undefeated welterweight world champion Keith Thurman edged former world champion Shawn Porter in a close but unanimous decision scored 115-113 by all three ringside judges.
Itu 12,718 fans in attendance at Barclays Center in Brooklyn and the viewers across the U.S. watching the first primetime boxing event on CBS since Muhammed Ali-Leon Spinks in 1978 were treated to a slugfest between two of the brightest stars in boxing’s glamour division.
Thurman (27-0, 22 Biaya) and Porter (26-2-1, 16 Biaya) combined to throw over 1200 punches in the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on CBS event, presented by Premier Boxing Champions. The marquee showdown was a story of accuracy vs. activity, as Thurman landed 50 persen tembakan kekuasaannya, dibandingkan dengan 38 percent for Porter, dan 44 percent of his total punches compared to just 36 percent for the challenger. While Thurman landed at a higher percentage, Porter was the busier fighter, throwing over 100 more punches across 12 putaran.
“One Time” and “Showtime” delivered as advertised, with the powerful sharpshooter buckling Porter multiple times, while the swarming and smothering Porter barreled forward to bully Thurman into the ropes. And while there were no knockdowns, the back-and-forth blockbuster never lacked action and culminated in a standing ovation in the second-highest attended boxing event in Barclays Center history.
“I want to thank Shawn Porter for a tremendous fight. He’s a great warrior,” said Thurman. “Defense is the key to victory. He smothers his punches a lot and makes it difficult for the judges to score. I was able to rock him with clear, effective blows and I believe that was the difference today.
“I would give him a rematch. It was great fight. He was a great opponent. Everyone was saying would he be my toughest opponent to date. I wasn’t able to drop him but I did buckle him a few times.”
The former world champion Porter, a perennial underdog but consummate gentleman, didn’t complain about being on the losing end of his second close decision in a title bout.
“We worked hard, Keith is a great champion,” Porter said. “My dad says to keep your head up. Saya pikir saya memenangkan pertarungan, but I’m satisfied because the competitor came out malam ini.
“We need that rematch. I know the fans want that rematch. If he gives me another chance, I’m going to work hard in the ring and leave with his title.”
The opening bout of the CBS telecast featured a matchup of undefeated super welterweights as Jarrett Hurd graduated from prospect to legitimate contender in the stacked 154-pound class with a dominating 10th round TKO over Oscar Molina.
Hurd (18-0, 12 Biaya) got to work early, flooring Molina for the first time in his career in the opening round with a powerful counter right uppercut. The bigger and taller Hurd was the more active fighter from the outset, dismantling the previously unbeaten Mexican Olympian with a supremely effective inside game. Hurd threw nearly 750 punches over 10 putaran, dibandingkan dengan hanya 376 for Molina, menghubungkan pada 220 power shots at a nearly 40 percent clip.
Hurd put a stamp on his performance in the final round, closing the show by out landing Molina 33-7 in the final round. With Molina taking a brutal beating and seemingly defenseless in the final minute of the final round, Ricky Gonzalez stepped in to halt the contest at 2:02.
“This is definitely a big win for my career,"Kata Hurd. “He was taking a lot of shots, but he knew how to survive. It was a big uppercut that knocked him down in round one. People know from my last fight that I have a great right uppercut. He was hurt a couple of times. I don’t think it was a bad stoppage. Molina is a very tough guy who just kept coming through.
“This fight here puts me up with the top contenders in the division. I felt like I could have gone three or four more rounds. I was getting stronger as the fight went on. We’re going right back to the gym so we can get in there again.”
Molina (13-1-1, 10 Biaya) protested, but barring a stunning knockout he was just seconds away from suffering the first loss of his career via a unanimous decision.
“I felt like Hurd was throwing a lot of punches in the tenth round but they weren’t really hurting me,” Molina said. “He was staying busy but he was never really hurting me.
“I went low and I had my head down and he caught me with that uppercut in the first round. He got me with a shot I wasn’t expecting but it was definitely a flash knockdown. Saya tidak terluka.
“I was supposed to use my footwork a lot more but I ended up smothering my shots. He had an awkward defense with a lot of bending down and I couldn’t get into a rhythm.
“This was a big opportunity for me and I felt like I fought a good fight. I’m going to come back stronger. We’re going to work on a lot of things and get back in there.”
SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on CBS, presented by Premier Boxing Champions, was promoted by DiBella Entertainment.
Earlier in the evening on SHOWTIME, undefeated heavyweight sensation Anthony Joshua successfully defended his IBF Heavyweight World Championship for the first time with a seventh round knockout of previously unbeaten American Dominic Breazeale at The O2 in London. VIDEO: http://s.sho.com/28VGgsa
Below are quotes from Joshua after Sabtu win on SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL:
Many thought that Dominic Breazeale wouldn’t be able to stand up to your power and speed, but were you grateful for the opportunity to work a little bit more of your boxing skills?
“Well, it’s hard because you can see they’re hurt with every shot – well not every shot – but when you start catching them flush, they can feel the shots with these ten ounce gloves on. Jadi, it’s just a matter of time, but in the process I didn’t want to be receiving any haymakers on the way back.
“It’s been tough I had two weeks off after my last fight, and got straight back in the gym so it was tough. I get a nice little break for once and then I can come back with recharged batteries.”
We know Deontay Wilder was watching the fight. Have you got a message for him, the WBC Champion?
“Unbelievable inspirational person. He was patient, 30-odd fights [dan] got his hands on the WBC [sabuk]. I’m following suit. I’m making my way into the U.S. with SHOWTIME backing me as well. Jadi, he watched that.
“He can pick up whatever he wants to pick up from that, but it’s so different when you’re in the ring with each other. So one day we’ll get to experience what each other’s about.”
Who do you want to fight next?
“Well I think it’s gonna have to be the likes of [Joseph] Parker. I was really looking at Fury… I hope he gets better soon. He hurt his ankle unfortunately, which has postponed it because I was hoping to get that some time in the winter if everything went well July 9th like it didmalam ini, but we’re gonna have to reschedule that and in the meantime, we can look at other opponents like Parker, if he’s vacant, or anyone else that the people want.”
What do you think that you still need to work on?
“Rest. I need to rest. I’m tired, I’m working hard and as I said, now i can get
