Le “La” must go in co-feature showdown at “Knockout Night at the D” between Undefeated junior middleweight prospects Rolando Garza & Neeco Macias

En direct Sept. 9 on CBS Sports Network from the Downtown Las Vegas Event Center
LAS VEGAS (Août 30, 2016) – In a classic match-up of contrasting styles, Rolando “Rôle” Garza et Nééco “The Rooster” Macias will both put their undefeated records on the line in the “Knockout Night at the D” 8-round co-featured event, aération Vendredi nuit, Septembre 9, sur CBS Sports Network, live from the outdoor Downtown Las Vegas Events Center (DLVEC).
Le “Knockout Night at the D” série, présenté par

et DLVEC, est promu par Roy Jones Jr. (JJR) Promotions de boxe. Annonceurs du Temple de la renommée Jim “J.R.” Ross et Al Bernstein will call all of the action from ringside, à partir de 11 p.m. ET / 11 p.m. ET, sur le réseau CBS Sports.

The 10-round main event pits unbeaten junior welterweights Emmanuel “Renégat” Robles (15-1-1, 5 KOs) et Steve “Le dragon” Claggett(23-4-1, 16 KOs),promu en association avec Bobby D Presents, for the vacant North American Boxing Association (Aussi) – Championnat des États-Unis des poids welters juniors.
Garza and Macias (12-0, 6 KOs), who will be fighting for the vacant WBC – Championnat américain des poids moyens juniors, are exact opposites in and out of the ring. The winner will advance to the next level of competition in the 154-pound division.
A technically sound boxer, Garza had an extensive amateur background as a member of the Mexican National Team, finishing with a 120-12 record, before turning pro September 29, 2012. The quiet, unassuming fighter 24-year-old was impressive in his last fight, also at the DLVEC this past Juin 10, in which he dominated previously unbeaten Erasmo Garcia (5-0-1) on his way to an 6-round unanimous decision (59-54, 59-54, 58-56) victoire.

The opportunity that Roy Jones Jr Boxing Promotions and CBS Sports Network has presented me has boosted my confidence to another level,” Garza said. “I have never been more confident in my skills, my team and training. I’m going to show Las Vegas and the rest of country what my talent brings into the ring. Once Las Vegas witnesses my talent, la lutte contre la télévision nationale, no one will be able to turn a blind eye. Not only will this fight put my name out there, but better opportunities will present themselves, and that keeps me motivated.

This fight will propel me into the 154-pound rankings. It’s high risk with an even higher reward: le WB / US title. My opponent is a brawler; a non-stop, aggressive puncher who moves forward, which will make this fight nothing short of explosive fireworks in the ring.
In the other corner, the non-stop Macias relies on conditioning and an aggressive, always coming forward approach to break down his opponent. The 25-year-old Macias, fighting out of Palm Desert, Californie, unlike Garza, who now lives and trains in Austin (TX), had only 30 amateur bouts having started boxing at the relative advanced age of 21. He did win gold medals at the National Blue & Gold Tournament, as well as Central California Golden Gloves and Desert Showdown. Macias is a showman, playing to the crowd before, during and after fights, crowing like a rooster, always with a broad smile on his face.

Macias’ last fight, also at the DLVE this past Avril 16, resulted in an action-packed fight against Limberth Ponce(10-2). Never tasking his foot off the pedal, Macias rolled to a win by 8-round unanimous decision (79-73 X 3), earning him a legion of new fans who were in attendance or watched the fight on CBS Sports Network.

Fighters don’t really care who they fight, they just want to fight,” Macias explained why his risking his undefeated record against an opponent who has never loss. “I had a fight fall through so, instead of waiting for another fight, when the opportunity to fight a 9-0 guy came, my coaches watched film of him and we agreed that I’m ready. This is the first time I’m fighting on the ‘B’ côté, but we’re using that as motivation. I take one fight at a time but I know I’m fighting on TV and need to look good. I want to show everyone that all the hard work has paid off.
I see this fight as my opponent probably having more skill, he’s technically sound and sets up his shots. But our plan is to take him out of his game plan, wear him down and have some fun doing it. My last fight was my first in Las Vegas and first time fighting on national television. It got a lot of notice. I’ve been through all of that now and will be even better prepared for this fight. It’s awesome fighting in Las Vegas on CBS Sports Network!”

LAS VEGAS (Août. 26, 2016) – Ancien champion du monde Est-Il “Sucre Shay” Forgeron(28-8, 12 KOs) is locked in and focused on training camp as he prepares to headlinePremier Champions de boxe: La prochaine ronde sur Bounce TV Vendredi, Sept. 16 as he takes on once-beaten contender Franc “Célèbre” Galarza (17-1, 11 KOs) à partir deLe Chelsea à l'intérieur Le Cosmopolitan de Las Vegas.
Televised coverage begins on Bounce TV at 9 p.m. ET/PT and features a super welterweight showdown between

Justin DeLoach (15-1, 8 KOs).

The Las Vegas-native will be fighting in his hometown for the 18e time in his career when he faces Galarza. A former 154-pound titlist, Smith looks to prove that he is still amongst the championship contenders in the division with a victory on Septembre 16.
Here is what Smith had to say about training camp, son adversaire et plus:
How has this training camp been going and how does it compare to past camps?
Pretty steady, we are taking things back to the basics and correcting a lot of errors. We are focused on fixing some things and working on a few new techniques. We are going back to school and fine tuning the details. It is so hard to compete at the highest level in boxing. The champion and contender level is very challenging. I have lost a couple of close fights at this level, and won a few at this level as well.
This training camp has been good but more challenging than the past camps. I normally am the one calling the shots and taking control, but I have given all of that to my coaches and let them take the reins. I have been in this game for 16 ans, 30 overall as both a professional and amateur. If I want to get where I need to be, I need to have the right team in place, and that is what I respect about my current team.
What kind of skill set does your opponent bring and how do you prepare for it?
I’m not wasting my time focusing on what Galarza does or what he has done to his opponents. My opponent is myself and executing the game plan that we put forth. A lot of people think this is a big step up for him and they usually get hungrier when given the opportunity, but I have been in there with other hungry young fighters. I am going to go out there and show him there are levels to this.
If you can get past Galarza, who would you like to fight in the 154-pound division next?
I am totally focusing on the opponent at hand. I would like to fight again this year if possible, but my main focus is Galarza. He is coming off of a loss, where he got stopped. I have been in there with everybody, and the guys I lost to were controversial decisions. I have been around the block so my main opponent on Septembre 16 is myself. There are levels to this game and I am going to treat this fight at such.
What does it mean to you to fight in front of your hometown fans in Las Vegas?
Whenever I can fight in front of my family, amis, and loved ones, it means everything to me. I have never fought at the Cosmopolitan, but have been to fights there. Headlining a fight there adds another notch to my career.
As one of the more experienced members of the Mayweather Promotions stable, have you taken on a mentor/leadership role with the young fighters in the gym?
Most definitely. I am the oldest on the team, so if I feel like guys are doing things wrong or if I think they should be going right instead of left, I definitely let them know. I am an old soul. I may not hang out every day or want to do the things they like to do, but I still give them my advice.
I hope that I help to motivate them. I want to prevent them from making some of the decisions I made that I then had to learn from. Some may think I’m being hard on them but you just have to take it as constructive criticism and keep learning.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama (Juillet 16, 2016) – Undefeated heavyweight world champion Deontay “Le Bomber Bronze” Wilder (37-0, 36 KOs) finished three-time world title challenger Chris “The Nightmare” Arreola (36-5-1, 31 KOs) after the eighth round of the main event of Premier Champions de boxe (PBC) sur FOX et FOX déportefrom Legacy Arena at the BJCC in Birmingham, Alabama.
In front of a hometown crowd of 11,974, Wilder controlled the fight from bell to bell, dropping Arreola in the fourth round, and dominating the battle tested challenger. Despite a broken right hand and a torn bicep muscle, Wilder managed to persevere and secure the stoppage.
Televised action opened with Olympic Gold medalist Felix Diaz Jr. (18-1, 8 KOs) defeating Sammy “Le sergent” Vasquez Jr. (21-1, 15 KOs) par décision unanime (96-93, 95-94, 95-94) in an exhilarating 10-round welterweight showdown.
The second televised bout featured unbeaten rising star Erickson “Marteau” Lubin(16-0, 11 KOs) marquant une décision unanime (80-72, 80-72, 80-72) sur Ivan Montero(20-2, 8 KOs) in an eight-round junior middleweight bout.
Here is what the fighters had to say after their bouts:
DiBella LOU
Wilder will be taken to a local hospital ce soir, and will be seeing a specialist this week to assess the damage to his right hand and right bicep muscle.
Deontay Wilder
What round did you hurt your hand:
It was earlythe third or the fourth round. It was from an (awkward) poinçon. I hurt the hand first, and then the bicep.
Was he tougher than you thought:
He was just as tough as I thought he would be. I know he was scared of the right hand for sure. I think I would have gotten him out of there (dans le quatrième tour) if he didn’t hold the ropes. On that last one he told me in my ear, I had to hold the ropes. I had to hold the ropes.
I got one of the best jabs in the world, because I have super trainers. I got Mark Breland, who showed me all kinds of ways to throw my jab. I got Russ Ambers who shows me techniques. I have Jay my long-time trainer on everything, and of course I have Cuz Hill who gives me great work on the mitts.
Look at my hand, this thing hurts.
What does it say about your toughness that you were able to fight for four rounds with a broken right hand and a torn right bicep:
“Homme, it let’s me know I’m a force to be reckoned with. If I have one hand or two hands, you can’t deny that I’m the best in the world. I’m going to still give it to you whether I have one hand or two hands. I won’t stop. As a champion it’s my duty to keep going no matter what I’m going through. Pain ain’t nothing to me. I got a high tolerance on pain. When you’re dealing with fights, it’s not over until it’s over. Whoever fights me they have to be ready. They just can’t come in and think they’re going to bully me or think they’re going to out-tough me or think they’re going to out-punch me, because there ain’t no out-bullying, there ain’t no out-toughing, there ain’t no out-punching, because I’m the heavyweight champion of the world. Cela signifie beaucoup pour moi.
How satisfying was it to put on such a gutty performance before your home State fans:
It was very satisfying to punish a guy like Chris Arreola. I straight punished him. I didn’t get my knockout like I want, but it was a knockout. I’ll take that on my record. I still advanced to 37-0 avec 36 KOs.
Chris Arreola
When he started taunting in the eighth round I knew it was all just part of boxing. No big deal.
The fourth round knockdown was a situation where he just hit me with the perfect shot. Nothing I could do about it.
“(Deontay’s) movement was really tough. He moved perfectly behind his jab. It’s not that it’s even frustrating; it was just I had to catch up to him on runs like that, but it was a fun fight.
He just kept me on the outside, I couldn’t figure him out — pure et simple. I have to give him all the respect in the world because he was just a much better fighter.
How did he make it out of Round 4?
“Soyons honnêtes, une. It takes a real fighter to be in the ring with someone like him. He’s a big man. We’re in the heavyweight division, une, this is the hurt business. You have to know how to deal with adversity. I get punched, I’m going to get back up.
I have to give him credit for using his distance, using his jab and just keeping me at bay.
SAMMY VASQUEZ
I knew in my heart I lost that fight. I tried my hardest but there were things I should have done that I didn’t do. We can’t look in the past. He’s a hell of fighter. He’s an Olympic gold medalist for a reason. He had a tough decision loss to Lamont Peterson. To me he was an undefeated Olympic gold medalist.
I take nothing away from the man. Il est un enfer d'un combattant. I’m a hell of a fighter. At the end of the day we put on a great show.
We’ll huddle up and start back at the drawing board. I’ve got to start knocking those names down again.
Ever been in a situation where the scores were added wrong:
I’ve never been in a situation where I had to wait for them to add up the scores again, because obviously I was undefeated. This is my first loss. Losses you learn from. Losses just mean you have room to grow. We’ll take this and come back strong the next time.
You hurt him in the 10e tour:
I know I had him hurt as soon as I hit him in the head twice. I saw him wobble and grab ahold of me. He was very slippery. As soon as I tried to push him away my hands would slip away. Hé, it was a hell of a fight. I take nothing away from the man.
FELIX DIAZ
When I first heard it was a split draw, I felt like I was the winner and I got robbed like in my fight against Lamont Peterson.
I definitely feel like the scores should have been wider on the cards, but I understand. The first couple of rounds I was feeling him out, but after those first couple I feel like I won every round.
Since Vasquez is taller than me and has longer reach, my plan of attack was to stay inside and fight him at a close distance.
I took this fight on only 15 days notice, and before this I was preparing for a right handed fighter, so it was a bit of an adjustment. I only had two weeks to make the changes that I needed to. I’m thankful to my team for getting me ready for this fight.
Fighting on a FOX and FOX Deportes primetime card and looking as good as I did makes me very happy. I’m ready for anyone at 140 ou 147 lbs.”
ERICKSON LUBIN
I’m definitely not upset with my performance. The referee was letting him get away with a lot of clinching and head butting. All in and all I’m happy with my performance. I’m still undefeated. I’m going to keep stepping up in these fights and upgrading my competition.
Anything you wanted to do that you didn’t get a chance to do:
Hell, I wanted to knock him out. But the ref wasn’t really calling him for holding or even warning him for holding so that he wouldn’t hold as much and head butt as much. Il était difficile. I give it to him. Il est venu à se battre.
Some guys come in there to survive. That was definitely the type of fighter he was. He was in there to survive. He didn’t want to go home with a knockout loss.
Was this a big step up fight for you:
Every fight was a step up fight for me. I take every fight seriously. There are always things I can learn and improve on. This was definitely one of those fights.
IVAN MONTERO
I was happy to go the distance ce soir, and I agree with the decision. He definitely won, but I thought I put on a good fight. He didn’t do that much damage to me.
I was honored to get this fight and the opportunity to fight on national television. I hope the fans enjoyed my style of fighting. I look forward to getting back in the ring soon.
“Maintenant, I’m just going to take some time and assess my options, but I’d like the rematch with him some time in the future.

Fighters spoke to media at the BJCC’s Arena Club inside the same venue that will host a stacked night of fights Samedi nuit.
Voici ce que les combattants avaient à dire Jeudi:
Deontay Wilder
I’ve wanted to hit somebody since May. I got teased but now it’s time. And I get to do it at home. There’s no better place to do it.
We’ve had a few guys that we could have chosen, but there were certain guys we didn’t want to give a short notice opportunity. We needed a certain type of fighter for this job.
We need someone who will fight with their heart and take this opportunity and make the most of it. Does he deserve the title shot? No he doesn’t. He knows it. But is Chris Arreola the perfect guy for this fight? Of course he is.
Chris is lucky to get a third chance at a title. There’s a lot of prospects who would love to fight him just to get a chance to fight for this belt. We needed a special person for this situation and I blessed Chris Arreola with the opportunity.
It’s time to fight. He’s ‘The Nightmareand I’m a knockout artist. What makes me special is the way I knock people out. Go look at the people I’ve knocked out and see what I’ve given them.
This is going to be another story for me to write in the history books. I can feel it. Ça va être un grand spectacle. Ne le manquez pas.
I appreciated everyone who comes out for me when I’m here fighting at home. I’m really excited about this show. You know the words at the end of the night will be ‘And still! Heavyweight champion of the world.'
Chris Arreola
“Je suis prêt pour ce combat. I’m more ready than I’ve ever been. J'ai faim. This isn’t a cakewalk. I respect Deontay, that’s why I trained for you. Come fight time, there’s no respect, il est temps de se battre.
One thing no one can question about me is my heart. I’m going to come at him but be smart. My goal is to take home that title and make history.
I want to thank Deontay for giving me this opportunity. I am a sleeping giant. I’m being underestimated. Place your bets on me and make some money.
SAMMY VASQUEZ JR.
Me and Felix Diaz are both coming to bring it. It’s going to be a tough fight for him and myself. People have to watch this fight. To me he’s undefeated and I’m coming in undefeated. We’re putting it all on the line in this fight.
Felix and I have worked together and we’re friends, mais cette entreprise est. He knows that I’m going to bring it like I do every fight. It’s a great opportunity to be showcased on this card.
If you feel that you’re the best in your weight division, then it doesn’t matter who they put in front of you. My opponent doesn’t matter; we’re going to get the job done. I have to fight quality opponents to be able to step up to the next guy.
Felix Diaz is a great competitor and he’s a very tough fighter. He has a tremendous amount of talent and he never stops coming, just like I do.
“Je suis un combattant de pression. I like to show the crowd how I get down. I’m an undefeated fighter and I will remain that way Samedi nuit. I’m here to take care of business.
I need wins like this to get fights with Danny Garcia and Keith Thurman and I need to do it decisively.
If I can get this win I definitely want Danny Garcia. He’s a Philadelphia guy. I’m from Pittsburgh, it’d be a fun matchup. We’re both marketable guys and I think it’d be a huge fight.
“Je veux juste battre le meilleur. That’s what I’m here for. Je vais me battre n'importe qui. I want to get a world title.
FELIX DIAZ
I want to thank everyone who is here today. Everything is ready to go. We’ve had a great training camp leading up to this fight.
I know that Sammy is a very good fighter. We’ve been stablemates before, mais cette entreprise est. I’m going to do what I have to do to be victorious Samedi.
I’m ready to get in the ring and do anything that I can Samedi to get the victory.
ERICKSON LUBIN
This is a great opportunity on a big card. I’m here to showcase my talent and show why I’m one of the best 154-pound fighters in the world.
This is a stepping stone for me. I know this is a tough Mexican who will be a great opponent. I just took care of business early a few weeks ago in Chicago and I’m looking to do the same thing Samedi. I’m here to steal the show.
I want to thank my team for helping me in training camp and getting me to this moment. It’s ‘Hammer TimeSamedi.”
JAMAL JAMES
We always stay ready in the gym. It’s always training camp. I’m at a point in my career where I have to be ready at all times. When the call comes, Je suis prêt.
We’re working on some things that we wanted to tighten up from the last fight and I can’t wait to show everybody my improvements.
Wale has been in there with some great competitors. We had to make sure everything is tightened up because he’s a strong guy. He has a good knockout ratio so you have to watch out for power punches.
A lot of guys I fight are shorter than me. I’m one of the tallest welterweights in the game. A lot of guys have to fight me the same way, so we know what to expect. Our defense is tight and I’m sitting down on my punches more than ever.
It’s a blessing to be on a card like this. I was very excited when I got the call. Deontay Wilder is a heavyweight champion and it’s a stacked card. It’s a great honor. I’m happy to keep stepping up in competition and in platform.
I’m a class-act in the ring. I’m trying to bring the master skill back to boxing. But I’m ferocious at the same time. You won’t be mad because I always give you a great show.
GERALD WASHINGTON
I’m looking to go out there and take care of my business. We’ve worked hard in training camp and we’re prepared for anything.
I’m going to use my speed and athleticism. The goal is to execute my game plan. Hopefully I can stay busy, land something big and get him out of there.
My grandfather is actually from Alabama so I have roots here. It’s very exciting to be on an undercard for Deontay Wilder defending the heavyweight world title. I have to perform and be exciting so that I one day I can be fighting a great champ like Deontay Wilder.
I’m different than I was before. This is going to be the best me stepping in there Samedi. I’m looking to get him out of there.

The fighters worked out at Round 1 Boxing in Vestavia Hills, Alabama as they prepare for the card headlined by the hometown favorite, Wilder, making the fourth defense of his heavyweight title.
Voici ce que les combattants avaient à dire Mercredi:
Deontay Wilder
When it comes to Deontay Wilder, people look for the knockouts and I deliver. What separates me from other heavyweights is the fashion in which I knock guys out. I don’t just knock you out, I really put you out.
Arreola definitely has a style prone to a knockout. He’s a pressure fighter who will come forward all night. That plays to my style. I love pressure fighters who give me a challenge. They keep me moving and thinking. I love the sweet science and the art to it.
I never look at films of opponents because I want to be surprised and I want to give myself a mental challenge in there. That’s what makes this sport so great.
Birmingham has showed me love from day one. I don’t just represent my city; I represent the state. Everywhere is my home. Birmingham understands entertainment and excitement and that’s what I’m trying to bring to people here.
I’m here to defend my title against a very hungry fighter. It’s a life-changing event for the man who holds the belt at the end of the night.
I never look past anybody. But I can look through them. Before I became a champion, I said I wanted to be an active champion. Just like I was active coming up. This has been my longest time away from the ring, so if all goes well Samedi, I want to be back in the next few months.
I have an ability to get out of bed and fight. I can do things that regular fighters can’t do. I don’t do miles of roadwork. I’m blessed with stamina.
This is my gift to give back to my state. Boxing is growing fast here. Me and Jay Deas have always wanted to do this. It warms my heart that we’re living our dreams.
Chris Arreola
Deontay is a very tough opponent so I have to come hard this time. This is my third world title shot and I have to make it count. The first time I was too young, the second time I got caught with a shot, but this time I’ll be ready for anything.
Fighting a guy like Wilder, I have to be ready for anything. But he has to be ready too. I’m no slouch. I have fire and he’s another person in my way. I’m here to get it.
There’s no challenge to get ready for a fight. Je suis un boxeur. This is what I do and this is what I love to do. Boxing is the most gentlemanly sport there is. You beat each other up then you shake hands like nothing happened. I’ve been grinding every day in the gym for this.
This is a big night for both of us. It’s a great opportunity to be on primetime television. People are going to be watching for free at sports bars and it puts us out there. They’re going to watch two big men on display going for it all.
I took it one day at a time in camp. I had to grind and get better every single day. Je ne crains aucun homme. I respect the man, but I don’t fear him. Everybody knows that I fight coming forward. I have to be smart and I have to move in angles.
I want to leave a legacy behind. When they talk about Chris Arreola, they’re going to say ‘he did it.I took the long road but here we are now.
I expect him to have a lot of fans and he’s very deserving of that. He’s made things happen in this state and this state is lucky to have a fighter like him. But no one can get in there with him. The fans can’t fight for him. I love the fans, but they’re just there to watch. It’s just me and Wilder in there Samedi.
Beating Bermane Stiverne and defending the title how he has, I definitely respect Deontay. The humility that Deontay has shown has been impressive. He was more brash coming up the rankings and flamboyant. Now he’s come into his own and he understands who he is.
The biggest difference between now and earlier in my career is that I’m comfortable with myself. My main motivation is being a boxer. I’m a boxer first. It’s not about who has the better six-pack.
Weaknesses are something that I have to bring out of Deontay. Someone different shows up every fight. We have a plan but we’ll have to expose him while I’m in the ring. You can see videos all day, but it might not be the same guy in the ring.
SAMMY VASQUEZ JR.
I think this fight goes eight rounds at the most. It’s tough to predict and he’s a shifty guy but I’m confident. I’m going to key in on the body and try to wear him out. I’ll be smart about it, because I have to make a statement in this fight.
My reach and my height will give me an advantage but he’s a slick fighter. All of these things can be advantages, but they can also work against you. I like to box and keep my opponent at range. I can’t let him smother me. We’re very prepared for his best shots.
“Je pense que ça va être un grand combat. He has a great amateur pedigree but I think I’ve made more impact as a pro. We’re equals and it’ll make for an explosive fight.
Diaz is a slick southpaw, just like Luis Collazo. He’s had a couple decent names on his resume. I think Lamont Peterson fell into Diaz’s trap a little bit, which made that a close fight. He’s coming up to my weight, but he brings it and he’s dangerous.
It feels good to be here. It’s been a long training camp leading up to an unbelievable card like this. I’m very grateful for the opportunity to be here. My coach (Charles Leverette) is from Alabama and he represents the state hard, so I’ve been on the ‘Roll Tidebandwagon.
When I was young I remember watching great heavyweight title fights and now to be on the undercard of one is incredible. There are kids out there looking at me and Deontay in the same way. C'est incroyable. It’s a blessing that really boosts my career and lets people get to know me better.
FELIX DIAZ
Sammy is a very good opponent of course. He’s undefeated right now, but he won’t be after Samedi.
“Déplacement jusqu'à 147 is going to be great for me and allow me to be at my very best. I think I can do big things in this division and Samedi night will be the start.
What you train for and what happens in the ring are two different things. I’m prepared for anything that could happen in the ring.
I have a great team and training camp has gone very well. I’ve been ready to fight for a long time and I can’t wait to get in the ring.
Everyone should come out, because it’s going to be a great fight. I’m very confident in my ability to pull off this victory.
