Canelo ALVAREZ VS. Daniel JACOBS U dubini Pregled i analiza

Svibanj 3, 2019 FNU47 1 Komentar

Po: Tony Penecale

Najveći tjedan boksa stiže nam s godišnjom vikend ekstravencijom Cinco de Mayo u Las Vegasu. Meksička marquee zvijezda Saul "Canelo" Alvarez vraća se svom domu daleko od kuće kako bi se suočio s izazovom kolega iz srednje kategorije, Daniel "Čudesni čovjek" Jacobs, koji namjerava pokvariti povratak kući.

Može li Canelo posuti ekstra cimet eksplozivnom pobjedom? Ili će Jacobs pružiti još jedno čudo u svom povratku iz knjige priča?

STIL

Alvarez:
Agresivan, fizički borac s podcijenjenim boksačkim vještinama, Alvarez često nosi protivnike dolje sa dosljedan tlaka i trapav punches. Koristit će finte i kontre za bacanje, protivničko je vrijeme isključeno i stvoriti otvore za napad tijela koji napada snagu. Nosi moć promjene borbe u obje ruke, ali ponekad ne baca dovoljno udaraca. Iako je najpoznatiji po svojim napadačkim vještinama, Alvarez ima pristojan, ali nije velika, obrambene sposobnosti klizanja i blokiranje udaraca.

Jacobs:
Mlitav, dugoruki boksač svestranih vještina koji se često bori agresivno i ne boji se razmjene udaraca. Jacobs udružuje dobre boksačke vještine i osnove s nokaut-snagom u obje ruke. Ponekad će biti previše uvredljiv i podložan je udaracima. Pokazuje ogromno srce pred nedaćama.

PREDNOSTI

Alvarez:
* Snaga - Alvarez nosi grmljavinu u obje šake. U obje ruke ima nokaut snagu, ali njegova najrazorniji oružje živi u njegovom lijevom kuku, posebno tijelu. U karijeri ima tri kandidata za nokaut godine.

* Snaga - Alvarez je fizički-sazrijevanje i gusto izgrađen borac s jezovit snage. Učinkovit je u potpori boraca, čak i kada se ne slijetanje rumenilo udaraca. Prerastao je iz juniorske i srednje kategorije, a nedavno se natjecao u super srednjoj kategoriji.

* Iskustvo - Alvarez je tijekom svoje profesionalne karijere prevalio dug put i natjecao se s nekim od najvećih boksačkih imena. Mnogo je puta bio u ovom trenutku i raskalašena atmosfera bit će mu druga priroda.

Jacobs:
* Karakter - Jacobs se suprotstavio i pobijedio najstrašnijeg protivnika u svojoj karijeri kada je pobijedio rak kostiju u 2011. Njegov lik pokazuje se u ringu jer je u svojoj karijeri rješavao neke teške izazove.

* Snaga - Jacobs se registrirao 29 njegov 35 profesionalne pobjede zaustavljanjem. Ima moć promijeniti borbu jednim udarcem i ubilački instinkt da dokrajči ranjenog protivnika.

* Svestran - Jacobs posjeduje dobre boksačke vještine i pokret, ponekad se prebacujući između pravovjernog i stava južne šape. Ako protiv drugog agresivnog protivnika, Jacobs će boksati na leđima i tražiti prilike za probijanje udaraca. Vješt je ubrzavati tempo kad je to potrebno.

SLABOSTI

Alvarez:
* Taktičke pogreške - Alvarez je počinio taktičke pogreške u nekim prethodnim borbama, uključujući pokušaj pobjede Floyda Mayweathera Jr.. boksajući se s njim izvana. U drugim tučnjavama, dopustio je svojim protivnicima da kontroliraju tempo i kradu runde.

* Lako pogodljiv - dok je njegova napadačka vještina njegova posjetnica, Alvarez ima pristojnu obranu. Kad izgubi fokus ili postane pretjerano agresivan, širom je otvoren za ravne desne ruke i kontre.

* Teške noge - Alvarez ima dobre boksačke sposobnosti, ali je često usporen u ringu. Kad se uporedi s višim borcima s dobrim bočnim kretanjem, često se bori, kao što je bio slučaj u njegovim borbama s Austinom Troutom i Erislandy Larom.

Jacobs:
* Osumnjičeni Chin - Jacobsu nije strano kušati platno. Njega je na porazan način nokautirao Dmitrij Pirog u prvom profesionalnom gubitku. Bio je i na platnu protiv Gennadyja Golovkina i Sergia Mora.

* Bezobzirno - U svojoj prvoj borbi protiv Mora, Jacobs je postao pretjerano agresivan nakon što je zabio nokdaun i ostavio se širom otvoren za protunapad koji ga je stavio na platno. Također je bio izvan ravnoteže i nesmotren kad je zapanjio Petera Quillina.

* Atmosfera - Jacobs se već ranije borio u Las Vegasu, a glavno veče u Madison Square Gardenu. Međutim, ovo je njegova prva markirana Las Vegas Cinco-de-Mayo vikend-ekstravaganca.

PRETHODNA Bout

Alvarez: (12/15/18) - Alvarez je uspješno debitirao u super-srednjoj kategoriji uništivši igru, ali nadmašivši Rockyja Fieldinga u tri runde. Alvarez je kaznio Fieldingovo tijelo, zabio četiri knockdowns, i dovršivši ga svojim potpisom lijevom udicom za jetru.

Jacobs:
(10/27/18) - Jacobs je imao težak susret s neporaženim, ali nepoznatim Serhiyjem Derevianchenkoom, pobijedivši u 12 krugova podijeljene odluke. Jacobs je postigao nokdaun u 1. rundi i zabio više udaraca tijekom natjecanja naprijed-nazad.

3 Najboljih nastupa

Alvarez:
* James Kirkland (5/9/15) - Vatromet je bio izložen od otvaranja zvona dok je Kirkland napadao Alvareza napadom kamikaza. Alvarez je kontrirao i postigao nokdaun u 1. rundi i završio borbu u 3^rd okrugli slikovitom desnom rukom.

* Liam Smith (9/17/16) - Alvarez je metodički slomio prethodno neporaženog Smitha, kontrolirajući borbu od početka. Alvarez je postigao nokdaune u 7^th a 8^th krugova prije nego što je show završio lijevom kukom za jetru u 9^th krug.

* Carlos Baldomir (9/18/10) - Alvarez je bio 20-godišnji vunderkind koji se suočio s trajnim bivšim svjetskim prvakom u Baldomiru. Alvarez je rano uspješno boksao i koristio svoje prednosti u brzini i vještini kako bi pomaknuo prvih pet rundi. Ali upravo je njegovo prikazivanje u 6. bilo nezaboravno. Alvarez je zaljuljao Baldomira prije nego što je konačno ispao lijevom udicom, ga renderiranje nesvijesti prije nego što je udario u mat i bave mu njegov jedini gubitak zastoj u karijeri 16-godišnje.

Jacobs:
* Sergio Mora (9/9/16) - Jacobs je izbrisao sve prijepore iz njihove prve borbe, koja je završila tako što je Mora ozlijedio gležanj, seciranjem u revanšu, vrhunac u impresivnom 7^th round TKO. Jacobs je postigao nokdaun u igri 4^th a 5^th krugova prije nego što je otvorio i ispustio Mora tri puta u 7^th krug, prisiljavajući zaustavljanje.

* Peter Quillin (12/5/15) - U bitci za Brooklynska hvalisava prava, Jacobs je zapanjio neporaženog i naklonjenog Quillina sa 1^st round TKO. Jacobs je rano sletio desnu ruku, šaljući Quillinga teturajući u konope. Naredni nalet poslao je Quillina preko prstena gdje je sudac zaustavio borbu.

* Caleb Truax (4/24/15) - Jacobs je dominirao Truaxom s majstorskom izvedbom preko 11 kola, kontrolirajući radnju teškim ubodom, i noseći svog protivnika u igri. Udobno naprijed ulazeći u posljednju rundu, Jacobs se iskrcao na svog oslabljenog protivnika sve dok ga sudac nije spasio daljnje kazne.

KLJUČEVI do pobjede

Alvarez:
* Počnite brzo i ne dopustite da Jacobs postane samopouzdan

* Odrežite prsten i prisilite Jacobsa da se bori u zatvorenim prostorima

* Idite na tijelo rano i često

Jacobs:
* Upotrijebite ukočeni udarac i bočni pokret kako biste Alvarezu izmakli ravnotežu

* Pristanite nešto da biste rano stekli poštovanje Alvareza

* Ne budi nepromišljen

PITANJA

Alvarez:
* Hoće li povratak u srednju kategoriju isprazniti Alvareza?

* Pregleda li Alvarez Jacobsa?

* Hoće li Alvarez postati frustriran ako Jacobs koristi učinkovite bočne pokrete?

Jacobs:
* Može li Jacobs izboriti odluku u Las Vegasu?

* Hoće li Jacobs uspjeti iskoristiti Alvarezove taktičke nedostatke?

* Kako će se Jacobs nositi s proalvarezovskom atmosferom?

PENECALE PROGNOZIRANJE

Publika će zujati na otvaranju zvona. Alvarez će krenuti naprijed, ruke gore, sondirajući ubodom i pokušavajući postaviti noge. Jacobs će se kretati bočno, šapajući probni udarac i koristeći finte glave. Oprezan 1^st runda će završiti ulaskom Alvareza i bacanjem nekoliko čvrstih udaraca, zbog čega je partizanska gomila izbila u klicanje.

Alvarez će nastaviti vršiti pritisak u 2^ND a 3^rd obilazi s Jacobsom radeći na uspostavljanju svog udara s više autoriteta. Jacobs će spustiti nekoliko teških uboda u lice dok će Alvarez kontrirati desnim rukama preko vrha. Jacobs će zakoračiti s njegove lijeve strane kako bi izbjegao Alvarezovu lijevu kuku za tijelo.

Akcija će se nastaviti intenzivirati kroz srednje krugove. Jacobs će slijediti njegov udarac ispravljenom desnom rukom. Alvarez će čučati i koristiti svoju snagu iznutra, pomoću nadređenih prava i kuka za ruke i rebra.

Alvarez će imati malo crvenila oko očiju, a Jacobs će pokazati trup preko trupa. Publika koja se zalaže za Alvarez dahnut će dok Jacobs slijeće niz tvrdih desnih ruku u 6^th okrugli, ali će tada izbiti u 7^th kad razmjena lijevih udica prvo ugleda zemlju Alvarez, šaljući Jacobsa izvaljenog natrag na platno.

Jacobs će ustati i potvrditi sucu Tonyju Weeksu da može nastaviti. Alvarez će napasti, bacivši lijevu kuku na tijelo i glavu. Jacobs će se teturati natrag, postavi noge, i odgovorite desnom rukom i divljom lijevom udicom. Alvarez će prisloniti kontra lijevu kuku u glavu, a Jacobs će klinčiti, s zvonom koje završava kolo.

Mnoštvo će biti divlje od iščekivanja ulaska u 8^th krug, osjećajući da se Alvarez možda približava pobjedi. Jacobs će se koristiti bočnim pokretima dok razbistri glavu, sondirajući svojim ubodom kako bi zadržao Alvareza na odstojanju. Alvarez će i dalje tražiti udarac homeruna, ali Jacobs će ostati izvan dometa dok traje.

Kroz 9^th a 10^th kola, Jacobs će biti dovoljno oporavljen i spreman angažirati Alvareza, bacajući još desne ruke, i povećavajući tempo. Alvarez će spustiti niz kuka za udaranje o tijelo, a Jacobs će kontrirati aperkatima s unutarnje strane.

The 11^th runda nastavit će intenzivnu akciju, dok će oba borca imati svoje trenutke. Alvarez će postati neaktivan tijekom dijelova kruga, dopuštajući Jacobsu da ponovno kontrolira tempo.

Ulazak u završni krug, Jacobs će znati da je u opasnosti jer je borba tako blizu. Pokrenut će pritisak na Alvareza i bit će nekoliko razmjena prstiju do prstiju. Dok Alvarez duboko udahne, Jacobs će ga uspješno poduprijeti udarcem, followed by a straight-right hand. Alvarez will roll with the punch and counter with his own right hand. The crowd will be on its feet as the fighters exchange punches and embrace the final bell.

The decision will be unanimous with Dave Moretti and Glenn Feldman both scoring 115-112 and Steve Weisfeld with a wider margin of 117-110, all in favor of Saul “Canelo” Alvarez.

LAS VEGAS – Travanj 27, 2019 – Robert Uskrs Jr.. and Rances Barthelemy fought to a split-draw in their matchup for the vacant WBA Lightweight World Title Saturday on SHOWTIME from The Chelsea inside The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.

The challenging fight to score was ruled 115-113 Bartolomej, 115-113 Easter and 114-114. The WBA 135-pound title remains vacant following the split decision.

With both former world champions needing a win in a crossroads affair, neither fighter was able to pull the trigger in a matchup of talented counterpunchers. The tall, rangy lightweights competed on the outside for much of the 12-round bout, and while both relied on their reach to keep their opponent at bay, they failed to land many effective shots from the outside.

The switch-hitting Cuban Barthelemy (27-1-1, 14 Kos), who fought defensively for most of the fight, transitioned to mostly southpaw in the third. The former two-division world champion’s most effective punches appeared to be body shots from the southpaw stance, while Easter (21-1-1, 14 Kos) was at his best when he countered with his right.

As the 12-round affair progressed, the corners of both fighters – Robert Easter Sr. and former Cuban champion Joel Casamayor – pleaded with their pugilists to increase their output to little avail. Neither fighter landed 10 punches in any round, and while Easter was slightly more active they combined to throw just 743 punches. They combined to land just 106 Ukupno punches.

“I feel I did enough to win this fight but the judges saw it differently,” said Easter, who was fighting for the first time since losing to pound-for-pound great Mikey Garcia in a unification last summer. “They saw it a different way. Rances is a crafty fighter, an elusive fighter. I tried to take the fight to him but he wouldn’t take it. It was hard to land my shots.”

Bartolomej, who was returning to lightweight after losing a rematch to Kiryl Relikh in his bid to become Cuba’s first three-division world champion, was frustrated with the decision.

“Robert was absent in the ring tonight,” Barthelemy said. “I wanted him to land his right and he didn’t. I wanted him to come forward and he didn’t. We were prepared for a different Robert Easter – the one that attacks – but he didn’t show up so I couldn’t deliver my strategy.

“I landed the cleaner and more accurate shots. I feel I threw more punches. I was the busier fighter. Pobijedio sam u borbi. I think this was a missed opportunity for me. I really feel I won this fight.”

Former 140-pound world champion Viktor Postol outclassed Mohamed Mimoune in a WBC Super Lightweight Eliminator, winning via unanimous decision 98-92, 97-93, 99-91 in the SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION co-feature.

Postol fought off a stiff jab and utilized his reach advantage to keep the fight at range. The Ukrainian, who was working with Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach, was the more active fighter from bell to bell, bacanje 587 punches compared to just 306 for the French Mimoune. While Mimoune was elusive and able to slip many of Postol’s power shots, he never left himself in a position to effectively counter his taller and more aggressive opponent. The southpaw Mimoune (21-3, 2 Kos) averaged just 30 punches per round and was off balance for much of the fight, throwing wide looping shots that rarely landed.

Nakon borbe, Postol attributed his victory with being able to remain disciplined and stick to the game plan of Roach.

“I always try to be disciplined,” Postol said. “I did well tonight. My opponent’s style was a little awkward, but I did okay. If I could fight a guy like (Terence) Crawford, I can handle Mimoune. And I did.”

Nakon borbe, Postol, who’s only losses came against top fighters Terence Crawford and Josh Taylor, promised to chase the elite of the 140-pound class.

“I want the next big fight,” Postol said. “Doesn’t matter who – WBC Champion Jose Ramirez would be a great choice. I was away for two years so I was a little bit worried before, but now I feel like I’m back. Ja sam 100 percent back and ready for the next test.”

Hall of Famer Steve Farhood, who served as unofficial ringside scorer for the SHOWTIME telecast, gave Postol all 10 of the rounds in the WBC Eliminator.

U uvodnom meču na TV prijenos, fast-rising heavyweight Efe Ajagba added another knockout to his resume with a second-round TKO of previously once-beaten Michael Wallisch.

Ajagba (10-0, 9 Kos) was aggressive from the outset, bacanje gotovo 100 punches in the opening round. Utilizing a steady diet of 1-2 combos, Ajagba landed at will in the second against Wallisch, who fought behind a high guard but couldn’t prevent the Nigerian’s power shots from landing. After eating a series of combos in the second, Wallisch (19-2, 12 Kos) took a knee and was given time to recover after Ajagba appeared to throw and land a punch with his opponent on his knee. Wallisch got back up but was defenseless against Ajagba’s onslaught, forcing referee Tony Weeks to step in to stop the contest at 1:40.

“I took my time in there, I used my jab a lot and it worked,” said Agjaba, koji je sletio 43 posto svojih energetskih kadrova. “When I shot my right hand and he took it, I decided to keep unloading. I kept throwing combinations and I knew I was hurting him so I kept doing it.

“I’m happy to be training with Ronnie (Štitovi). He is one of the best trainers in the world. He helped me with my jab and he’s helping me develop as a fighter.”

Said trainer Ronnie Shields: “I think we still have a lot to learn. You saw he’s a busy guy and for a big guy to throw 93 punches in the first round, it’s a lot. He may be about a year away to becoming a contender. He will get there.”

Tonight’s live event was promoted by Mayweather Promotions and TGB Promotions in association with About Billions Promotions.

An encore presentation of the tripleheader will air Monday at 10 poslije podne. ET/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available via the network’s On Demand platforms.

**RANCES Bartolomej**

“The key thing for me to get back to the top, is to get back to my roots. It’s about using what made me a champion and getting back to that. We’ve gone back to our Cuban roots in training with Joel Casamayor and left any distractions behind. You’ll see all of that in my performance on Saturday night.

“Easter and myself are both on the road to redemption coming off of our first defeats. I expect the same Robert Easter Jr. that I’ve seen on tape. He comes forward and tries to fight it out. There’s nothing overly impressive about him to me.

“I’m ready for whatever Robert Easter Jr. wants. If he wants a war, we’ll have a war. Everyone knows I’ve never backed down, but I’m going to win this fight with the intelligence that made me a world champion.

“Casamayor comes from the same streets as me, he knows my style, how I think and how I need to work. We identify with one another a lot so we don’t have to confront each other. With a simple look, I know what he’s trying to tell me. Between him and my brother, Yan, I feel blessed to have two Olympians in my corner.

“To the Cuban people, this will be my best fight and and a strong performance for the Cuban boxing community. I’m going to focus and work hard like us Cubans always have since we were born. I had to grow up through hardships and I’ve worked to show that anything is possible coming from Cuba.”

**MOHAMED MIMOUNE**

“Postol is one of the best that I will face but I am not afraid. I am confident I will win. I’ve studied him together with my coach and we have a strategy in place that you will see on Saturday.

“Ja sam vrlo uzbuđen za ovu priliku. It is every boxer’s dream to fight in Las Vegas and I am happy and ready to show the Americans what I have.

“I have no issues with Postol’s height advantage. I am prepared for it. It is not my first time facing off against a boxer that is taller than me. I have a very good reach as well, but it is my speed that will beat him.

“I have worked very hard after my losses and put all my effort into bettering my performance. I’m stronger and more mature now than ever. I know I have to win and I will win.

I’m looking forward to the opportunity to fight for the world title after I win on Saturday night. I’m dedicating this fight too all French people and I hope they make sure to not miss it on Saturday.”

**JOEL CASAMAYOR, Barthelemy’s Trainer**

“We’ve been training since mid-February for this fight. It’s been a long three months in the gym together. I see a different Rances. He’s fighting smarter and he’s gotten back to his Cuban roots. That’s what made him a two-time world champion.

“It’s hard to predict, but if it were up to me of course I’d say Rances will win by knockout. From what I’ve seen in training camp, Rances is going to put on a great performance Saturday night. He knows what he has to do.

“We have a great connection throughout camp. I just have to look into his eyes and I feel like I know what he’s going to bring. All the hard work has been done and he’s 100 percent ready for Saturday night.”

**MEHDI OUMIHA, Mimoune’s Trainer**

“Mohamed Mimoune is an improved fighter who’s shown a lot of new and different skills in training. We have the right tactics to earn this victory on Saturday.

“We are prepared for what Postol can bring, but we’re focused on Mohamed Mimoune being at his best. Everything I have seen in training camp makes me very confident that we’re going to win Saturday and go on to fight for the title.”

**LEONARD ELLERBE, CEO Mayweather Promocije**

“Rances has a tremendous amount of experience. If you look at his earlier fights before he became champion and during his championship runs, he’s fought on the big stage time and time again.

“I think Rances’ experience will help in a fight like this, but Robert Easter Jr. has also been in big fights. They both bring a lot of background in exciting, high-quality fights. You have two fighters with something to prove looking to do just that live on SHOWTIME Saturday night.”

**LAS VEGAS** (Travanj 16, 2019) – Bivši svjetski prvak u dva podjela **Rances Bartolomej** discussed changes to his training camp as he nears a vacant WBA Lightweight Title showdown with former lightweight champion **Robert Uskrs Jr..** taking place Saturday, Travanj 27 live on SHOWTIME from The Chelsea inside of The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas and presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

Coverage on SHOWTIME begins at 10 poslije podne. ET / 7 poslije podne.

Ulaznice za događaj, which is promoted by Mayweather Promotions and TGB Promotions in association with About Billions Promotions, može se kupiti nawww.cosmopolitanlasvegas.com or through Ticketmaster.

After losing for the first time in his pro career in a 140-pound title fight against Kiryl Relikh last March, Barthelemy rebounded to stop Robert Frankel in December as he prepared to return to the lightweight division to face Easter. Since the loss to Relikh, Barthelemy made fellow Cuban and former world champion Joel Casamayor head trainer as he looks to return to the championship ranks.

Here is what Barthelemy had to say from training camp at Prince Ranch Bones Adams Boxing Gym in Las Vegas:

**How has training camp gone so far?**

“Everything has been going well under the guidance of Joel Casamayor and the assistance of my brother Yan Barthelemy and Oscar Vasquez. We have been training twice a day and sparring three to four times a week against solid guys like former world champion and ex-opponent Mickey Bey. Like they say, ‘iron sharpens iron’ and the quality of sparring has been tremendous help in getting me ready for April 27. I feel better prepared both mentally and physically than I did in my most recent fights.”

**What do you make of Robert Easter Jr. and what do you know about him?**

“I have seen various Robert Easter Jr fights and have been studying him very closely. He’s a great boxer who likes to use his height and reach to his advantage. He’s an ex-world champion who has fought quality opponents. He deserves all of my respect but we are very confident that we will be victorious against him.”

**Do you feel you have been able to rebound from your first career defeat?**

“Svakako, I have been able to move on and use that defeat as a lesson in my career. They say sometimes we learn more in defeat than we do in victories and that was the case in that fight.

“Sometimes we do not see clearly when we are winning. Bad habits or little details that need correction are overlooked when you are winning. Sometimes we do not even see them. I feel rejuvenated and we have made many important changes that were necessary for my career. You will see on April 27 that there is still much more left from Team Barthelemy.”

**What would it mean to become a champion again on April 27?**

“We have no doubt that we’ll become champion again for a third time on April 27. This will bring my name back at the top of the sport with many potential big fights to be made. It will mean so much more to me because Cuban boxing has currently gone through a rough patch and this victory will allow Cuba to have a champion once again.”

**Any final message to your fans before your fight?**

“Please make sure to tune in on April 27. This fight will be very competitive, with two evenly-skilled former world champions looking to reclaim their status at the top of the sport. Fights like this are what make boxing great. Cuba will have a champion once again on April 27!”

***Angelo Leo, Xavier Martinez And Andres Cortes Featured In Separate Bouts Live on SHOWTIME From Sam’s Town Live in Las Vegas***

**LAS VEGAS** – Ožujak 13, 2019 – Three undefeated prospects will make their *ShoBox: Nova generacija* debut as super bantamweight **Angelo Leo** and super featherweights **Xavier Martinez** a **Andres Cortes** compete in separate bouts on a Mayweather Promotions card live on SHOWTIME Friday, Travanj 5 (10 poslije podne.

Tickets for the Mayweather Promotions’ Sin City Showdown are priced at $25, $50 a $75 i mogu se kupiti na stranici: https://mayweatherpromotions.com/events/
.

“Mayweather Promotions is excited to bring the Sin City Showdown back this year, as it is home to a roster of talented prospects,” said Leonard Ellerbe, CEO Mayweather Promocije. “The card features three of our young talented undefeated prospects Angelo Leo, Xavier Martinez, and Andres Cortes making their television debuts. It’s exciting to see these guys climb the ranks, as they look to take their careers to the next level. Each one of them will be facing tough competition on fight night. I expect nothing but fireworks.”

“We have three unbeaten and untested prospects ready for the next step of their careers in Angelo Leo, Xavier Martinez and Andres Cortes,”, Rekao je Gordon Hall, Izvršni producent, Senior Vice President, Production, Showtime Networks Inc. "*ShoBox* is all about introducing and developing new talent. It’s about pushing young prospects outside of their comfort zone, matching them tough and discovering the next generation of champions in the process. I look forward to see whether or not Leo, Martinez and Cortes will rise to the occasion.”

Originally from New Mexico and currently residing in Las Vegas, Lav, 24, recorded a unanimous decision over Alberto Torres in his 2019 debut on the non-televised undercard of Gervonta Davis vs. Hugo Ruiz. Lav, who started boxing when he was eight, amassed a notable amateur resume, winning the state Golden Gloves and Jr. Golden Gloves Championships before turning pro at 18. Leo debuted under the Mayweather Promotions banner in November of 2017 with a fourth-round knockout of Dominican Republic’s Yasmaly Basilio Peguero-Nieves.

“This fight came to me at the perfect time,” said Leo, who has fought four of his last six bouts at *Sam grad kamere*. “I’m in great condition coming off my recent fight last month. I think Tabanao is good fighter and a good counter-puncher. He fought good competition and he went the distance with a former world champion, so I know I have a tough fight ahead. He is a dangerous fighter but I have a solid plan. I have a unique style and I think I bring a lot to the table with my speed, angles and body shots. Fans should expect an exciting fight on April 5.”

Tabanao, 24, made his pro debut in 2012 in his home country of the Philippines. He will make his United States debut next month as he looks to move up the super bantamweight ranks. Tabanao won the WBO Oriental Featherweight Title in 2016 with a third-round technical knockout of Ibrahim Balla. In his next fight, Tabanao lost the belt when he dropped a unanimous decision to Isaac Dogboe, who would go on to become the WBO Super Bantamweight World Champion. Tabanao suffered two consecutive defeats after losing to Dogboe but has admirably rebounded by winning his last four bouts.

“My trainer Sonny Dollente is working hard to prepare me for this fight,” said Tabanao. “We know this is our first fight in the States and TV debut, so we are working especially hard to put on a great performance and we thank Mayweather Promotions for this opportunity. Angelo Leo is a good fighter but we have a good strategy. It has always been my dream to represent The Philippines and to be known as a great boxer. This fight will bring me one step closer to my dream.”

Martinez, Sacramento, Kalifornija, is best known for his crafty and powerful fighting style and is regarded by many as a prospect to watch. After losing his first two amateur fights, he amassed a record of 88-10. He won the Jr. Golden Gloves in 2010, natjecali u 2012 a 2013 Nationals Championships and was ranked No. 3 amateur in the country in 2013. He turned pro in Mexico at 17 and joined the Mayweather Promotions team in late 2016 with a unanimous decision win over Wilfredo Garriga at *Sam grad kamere*. He’s coming off five straight knockout victories, with his most recent being an impressive fifth-round knockout against Deivi Julio Bassa on February 9. Martinez is looking for a statement victory over Moralde to assert his pedigree in the 130-pound division.

“It feels great to get back in the ring,” said Martinez. “I’m happy Mayweather Promotions found another great matchup for me, and on national television. Now it’s time for me to do my part as a fighter by training hard and getting the win. I came in to training camp with a fresh mindset and ready to go to war. I’m ready for whatever Moralde brings to the table. I don’t know much about him other than he has the guts to fight me. I heard two opponents said, ’No,’ to this fight because they didn’t want to face me.”

Moralde, who made his pro debut in 2011 as a 17-year-old, will see his toughest test to date when he meets rising star Martinez. Hailing from Davao del Sur in the Philippines, Moralde, koji je 2-2 u posljednje četiri borbe, is looking to redeem himself in this pivotal matchup. Njegova USP. debi u 2017 didn’t go as planned as he was handed the first loss of his career at the hands of Toka Khan Clary. He rebounded quickly against Ismail Muwendo but lost by decision against Jamel Herring in his next fight. He scored a second-round knockout victory over Elmer Colve in his last outing.

“It feels great to have another opportunity to put my skills on display for the world to see on national TV,” said Moralde. “I’m up against a tough fighter; we both have a tough fight ahead. Moram dati izjavu. This is the fight that will get me where I want to go. I want to fight the toughest and I’m ready to face anyone they put in front of me.”

Born and raised in Las Vegas, Cortes, 22, fell in love with the sweet science at an early age as he watched his brother Luis at the gym. He started training at Elite Boxing Gym when he was six, alongside Juan Heraldez and Andrew Tabiti, who would later become his Mayweather Promotions stablemates. He had a reported record of 130-20 as an amateur and turned pro in 2016. He caught the attention of Floyd Mayweather while sparring with lightweight champion Gervonta Davis. Cortes joined Mayweather Promotions soon after. He has won four of his last six fights by knockout including his last outing against Eder Amaro Fajardo on January 17. With a win, Cortes will be one step closer to becoming a legitimate contender.

“I’ve only taken off one week from the gym since my last fight in January,” said Cortes. "Osjećam se odlično. Ja sam 100 percent prepared for whatever my opponent brings my way. I’ve been working on my power and my strength with my conditioning coach and overall development as a fighter. I’m ready for my next challenge.”

Baltimore’s Dyer, 27, picked up boxing at 19 and after a brief amateur career turned pro in March of 2017. He scored an impressive 22-second first-round knockout of Dwayne Martin in just his third professional bout. He was named 2017 Rookie of the Year by *Boxing Along the Beltway*, a Washington, D.C. boxing publication, and has won five fights in a row, most recently against promising undefeated prospect Carlos Dixon.

“I’m coming fresh off a fight so I’m still in great shape,” said Dyer. “Andres Cortes is a good fighter, ali ja sam bolji borac. I’m training to go a full eight rounds, but if I find an opportunity before then, Ja ću ga uzeti. I’ve been waiting for a chance to show the world how good of a fighter I am, i to je to. This is my time to show the world who I am.”

Lubin will fight for the second time since losing his first world title challenge to Jermell Charlo in 2017, and for the first time with his new coach. The Orlando-native began training camp in West Palm Beach, but has been training in Las Vegas for the last month since the team moved west to finish the training camp for Adrien Broner’s fight against Manny Pacquiao.

Here is what Lubin had to say about Saturday’s fight and more:

**On his matchup against Ishe Smith:**

“Ishe Smith has been in the ring with the best of them and he’s never been stopped. He knows how to fight and I’m expecting him to be at this best. I will have to dictate the pace right from the opening bell. My goal is to be the first person to take him out, but if it goes the distance, I’m okay with that as well. I’m going to win this fight and win it impressively.”

**On training with new coach Kevin Cunningham:**

“Kevin is a no-nonsense type of guy. He’s going to tell you the truth if you like it or not. If I’m doing something wrong in his eyes, he’s going to speak on it right away. He’ll do the same if I’m doing something right, so I like his style of training and I’m learning more each day we are together. This will be our first fight together and I’m excited to get back in the ring. We have a nice game plan in place that we will execute on fight night.”

**On training in Las Vegas for the first time in his career:**

“Training in Las Vegas is no joke, because we are training in higher elevation than what I’m used to in Florida. Getting away from the distractions at home has been relaxing. I’ve been getting great sparring and my timing is right on point. Las Vegas is definitely the place to be for high level sparring and training.”

**On fighting in Southern California for the second time in his career:**

“I really like fighting on the west coast. The fans are great, and the weather is beautiful. I know we’ll be fighting outdoors so I’m looking forward to that. Everyone knows this venue has hosted some really good fights. I’m looking to steal the show on Saturday night.”

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Wednesday in Las Vegas:

Manny Pacquiao

“I feel so blessed and happy because of the excitement around this fight. It’s come from the fans here in the U.S. and media all over the world. I want to go out there and make all the people happy.

“The knockout in my last fight felt good. It felt like my younger days against Ricky Hatton, Miguel Cotto i drugi. That fight was a big challenge for me to recover from the fight against Jeff Horn. People said that my career was done. But I never got discouraged, I just worked hard and made the knockout against Lucas Matthysse happen.

“These days I don’t only train my body, but also my mind. I’m a Senator, so my mind is very busy. I also play chess regularly and read books to keep my mind sharp.

“People writing me off after the Jeff Horn fight was good for me. I’m not mad at anyone who thought that. It just became a challenge and a test to me of whether or not I could still show my best.

“Being back here at MGM Grand makes me so happy. It’s an honor to be in this position. I remember my first fight here in the U.S. was at MGM Grand. I will never forget that moment and now I get to come back here and do it again.

“I know he is going to counter me but we’re ready for that. What happened in the Juan Manuel Marquez fight will not happen again. It was a mistake and I learned that mistake. We’ve worked on that in this training camp. I am prepared for Broner’s style.

“This is a challenge because it is my first fight as a 40-year-old. I have something to prove to everyone about what that means. Age is just a number. What matters is how you prepare and that you’re working hard.

“I don’t need to dislike my opponent to want a knockout. I’m just doing my job in the ring. Ako dođe knockout, it comes. We’re hoping to have that opportunity Saturday. I have to pressure him to make him open up. Wherever he goes, I’ll be there.

“I’ve always stayed disciplined throughout my years in boxing. I’m always making sure everything is in order and on point during my workouts. That plus cross-training with activities like basketball has helped me stay in this position all these years.”

Adrien BRONER

“I’m not up here to talk a lot of trash. I’ve put in the work. To je boriti vrijeme. After I win, everything is going to be different.

“People are talking a lot about Pacquiao fighting Floyd Mayweather again, but I’m pretty sure Floyd is retired. I feel like people are trying to throw me to the wolves and overlook me.

“He doesn’t remind me of any past opponents just like I’m not going to remind him of anyone he’s fought. He’s never fought anyone like me. Every fighter has similarities, but truly every fighter is different. If I remind him of Floyd Mayweather, I hope his arm doesn’t hurt after this one.

“Look at my last five fights. I’ve fought world champion after world champion. I don’t duck any fights. I don’t care how many weight classes he’s won titles in.

“I’m not in awe of any fighter, especially Manny Pacquiao. I hope he’s in awe of me. I’m a one of a kind fighter too. I’ve made history in this sport.

“I just have to go out and win this fight, then everything is going to start going my way. U subotu navečer, Ja ću biti pobjednik. This is a defining moment in my career and it’s going to be one of the biggest nights of my life.

“Pacquiao hasn’t fought me so I’m not worried about what he says about me right now. He’s going to have a different outlook after he fights me Saturday night.

“I’m going to turn Las Vegas into a big block party after I win on Saturday night. It’s going to change my career.

“Manny Pacquiao has done a lot for the sport. I’m going to beat him up and have a drink with him afterward. I grew up in boxing and I know what’s going on. It’s a business, but don’t get it twisted, I’m going to dominate and win.

“This is going to be a hell of a fight. I’ve trained so hard and I want everyone to know that I play around a lot, but when that bell rings, Ja ću biti spreman. I didn’t come here to lose or lay down. I came here to get this victory. Real talk.”

BUBOY FERNANDEZ, Pacquiao’s Co-Trainer

“I’m very thankful to this great team that we have that has prepared Manny for this challenge. I know that we worked very hard for this. I cannot fly without wings, but I can bring the belt back to the Philippines.

“Manny has trained hard and we expect a good fight. This is the hardest I’ve seen him train and it will be seen in the ring Saturday night”

FREDDIE Roach, Pacquiao’s Co-Trainer

“We’ve trained really hard for this fight. Manny is looking really good and is in tremendous shape. I’m sure Adrien is also because they’re both great fighters. I wish both men luck and may the best man win.”

KEVIN CUNNINGHAM, Broner’s Co-Trainer

“We’ve had a tremendous training camp. Adrien is ready to go. Everyone who knows me, knows that all I have in this world in my word, and I don’t break it for nobody. I’m giving you my word that Adrien will put on a spectacular performance on Saturday night.

“I’m guaranteeing that Adrien will send Manny back to the Senate, beltless, without the WBA title. I guarantee it.”

MIKE STAFFORD, Broner’s Co-Trainer

“Adrien came to me when he was 55 pounds and seven-years-old. He was an underdog then and he came back day after day. People thought he was a bad kid, but I told people that I saw something in him.

“Freddie Roach didn’t know who Adrien was years ago when we were getting ready to work with the Olympic team together. But he got to know Adrien, and on Saturday night, Manny is going to know him too. That’s for sure.”

JOE RAMOS, COO of Manny Pacquiao Promotions

“We are honored, humbled and proud to be a part of this amazing event. This will be Manny’s 20^th fight in Las Vegas and we’ve been treated amazingly throughout the entire promotion. I’m thankful to all of Team Pacquiao for the work they do and helping make everything run smoothly.

“We all know that Adrien is ready and we expect nothing but the best from him and his team on Saturday night.

“MGM Grand is known for the lion, and Lenny the Lion is right there when you enter the building. U subotu navečer, Manny will show his heart of a lion for fans all over the world and prove once again that he’s the king of the jungle.”

LEONARD ELLERBE, CEO Mayweather Promocije

“About three and a half years ago I sat here opposite this great legend in Manny Pacquiao. I’ve studied this man for many years and today he’s still one of the best welterweights in the world. He still has tremendous explosiveness and power, but more importantly the experience to beat any welterweight in the world.

“Pacquiao has been doing this for so many years that we forget how truly great this man is. He’s in a very comfortable position right now. He’s super motivated and thats what is going to make this a great fight on Saturday night.

“Coming into this fight we all know that there have been rumblings about what Adrien needs to do to win this fight. But what I’ve witnessed firsthand this entire promotion, is that this man has dedicated himself 100 posto. He’s done everything his coaches have asked of him and he’s exceeded those expectations.

“Adrien Broner is ready, focused, and he’s put in the work. He’s put himself in the best situation to be successful on Saturday night. I expect nothing less than a great virtuoso performance. He didn’t cut one corner this training camp. He wants to prove to everyone, that everything people have said about him can be thrown out the window. He’s coming to show the entire world what he’s all about.”

RAVONE LITTLEJOHN, CEO of About Billions Promotions

“Adrien trained really hard for this fight. I’d like to thank Kevin Cunningham and Mike Stafford, they put together a great game plan. Adrien will be ready.

“There’s been a lot of talk from Pacquiao’s side about getting a knockout, but you’re the one getting knocked out. You’ve been knocked out, we haven’t.

“This our first time on this stage and in this position and it’s been very enjoyable. Adrien and I have put a lot into this over the last 10-15 godina. We’re pulling for our guy 100 percent.”

STEPHEN Espinoza, Predsjednik Sport & događaj Programiranje, Showtime Networks Inc.

“I’m not going to come up here and tell you all anything you don’t already know about Manny Pacquiao or Adrien Broner. These are two guys who have operated at the highest level of boxing for years. In Manny’s case, literally decades. But I will remind you of some things.

“Manny Pacquiao is a Hall of Famer, nema sumnje o tome. He’s a boxing legend who’s generous, humble and soft-spoken outside of the ring. But most of all, he takes tough fights. The last 20 opponents Pacquiao has had have been current, future or former world champions.

“Adrien Broner has faced nine world champions in 37 borbe u karijeri. He’s obviously demonstrated himself as being an elite fighter. He’s flashy, flamboyant, sometimes outrageous, but he’s always unapologetically himself.

“On Saturday night, everything changes. Pacquiao is no longer soft-spoken and Broner is no longer fun-loving and outgoing. They transform themselves into two of the most athletically gifted and ferocious warriors in our sport. Above all these two guys have heart, which is the rarest thing in this sport.

“Between the two of them, they’ve won titles in 12 weight divisions. That’s the third most of all-time, trailing just Mayweather vs. Pacquiao and Pacquiao vs. De La Hoya.

“We know this is an elite fight and these fighters are in elite company. But on Saturday night, none of that matters. It’s not a contest of who has the best resume. This is a high level contest with high stakes between two of the most talented and athletically gifted fighters in the sport today. A win in this fight catapults each of these men to bigger things. It doesn’t get any more significant than that.”

RICHARD STORM, President of Entertainment and Sports for MGM Resorts International

“I’d like to welcome back Manny Pacquiao and Adrien Broner, two of the sport’s best fighters, back to Las Vegas and MGM Grand. Fans are always excited to watch these two fighters compete in the ring and we’re confident that Saturday’s event will kick off another exciting year of sports and entertainment programming for MGM Resorts.

“I’m thankful to all of the people who have helped make this fight happen here in Las Vegas. We look forward to seeing everyone at the MGM Grand Garden Arena Saturday night for this sensational event.”
