NATIONAL HAVNE (Marts 25, 2019) – Tidligere verdensmester Sergey Lipinets (15-1, 11 KOS) stoppede tidligere to-division mester Lamont Peterson(35-5-1, 17 KOS)runde 10 Søndag aften i et actionfyldt weltervægt-showdown, der overskriften Premier Boxing Champions på FS1 og FOX deporterede fra MGM National Harbor i Maryland.

“Jeg har det godt med den erklæring, jeg fremsatte til weltervægtsafdelingen,” sagde Lipinets. “Jeg kæmpede bare med en fremragende fighter. Dette fortæller mig, hvor jeg er i vægtklassen 147 pund. Jeg gik ud i dybe farvande og viste, at jeg hører hjemme.”

Kampen indeholdt næsten non-stop handling og en spændende finish, tjener allerede Årets kampsummer efter sin’ konklusion. Peterson trak sig kun lejlighedsvis tilbage i forsvaret et øjeblik eller to, mens Lipinets var fast besluttet på at lukke afstanden, og sørgede for, at han ikke lod Peterson bruge sin rækkevidde, mens han brugte sit eget varierede angreb på indersiden til lejlighedsvis succes.

“Du kan se, at jeg ikke har noget problem med størrelsen,” sagde Lipinets. “Peterson er en fremragende fighter med utrolige færdigheder, og han har vist mig, hvad jeg virkelig kan gøre.”

Peterson var dedikeret til at angribe kroppen, tegner talrige kombinationer med onde venstre kroge til mellemsektionen. Han var den travlere fighter, men tog stadig skud fra Lipinets’ kombination af kroge, store bogstaver og kropsskud. Til sidst syntes et af disse skud at ændre kampens tidevand, når en lige lige fra Lipinets forbandt og tydeligt såret Peterson.

Tælleren satte Peterson på ryggen og i overlevelsestilstand i sidste minut af den ottende runde, indtil han hørte klokken. Med momentumet, der drejer skarpt mod Lipinets gennem runde ni og midtvejs rundt 10, Lipinets landede endelig en fejende venstre krog under en udveksling, der skadede Peterson og signaliserede at slutningen var nær.

“Det var frem og tilbage, og vi ramte hinanden med nogle gode skud,” Said Peterson. “Det kom bare ud af ingenting i slutningen.”

Lipinets fulgte op og satte Peterson på lærredet, da håndklædet kom ind fra Petersons hjørne, stopper kampen kl 2:59 runde 10.

Den spændende actionkamp indeholdt begge krigere, der kastede en karriere med et stort antal slag, ifølge CompuBox. Begge krigere landede et næsten identisk antal kraftstempler (189-188 til Peterson), med Lipinets landing 23 i hver af de sidste to runder.

“Du har set, hvad jeg gjorde ved 140 pund, og nu hvad jeg kan gøre her,” sagde Lipinets. “Jeg lavede et stort spring i konkurrencen fra min sidste kamp til denne. Min nye træner Joe Goossen får al æren. Vi har haft en fremragende lejr med perfekt sparring, der lærte mig meget og gjorde mig klar til i aften.”

“Der var ingen lette dage i vores motionscenter til træningslejr,” sagde Goossen. “Jeg har lyst til, at vi klikkede sammen, og han fik det bedste ud af mig, fordi han var så tilfreds med mine metoder og den måde, jeg skubbede ham på.

“Jeg syntes, Sergeys forsvar var meget godt i aften. Hans jab fungerede godt, og han lagde reelt pres på. Den venstre store bogstav var et godt skud for ham, og han brugte en række slag i denne kamp for at få det gjort.”

Efter kampen. Peterson, sammen med livslang træner og kollega Washington, D.C.-indfødte Barry Hunter, annoncerede sin pensionering fra boksning foran sine hjembyfans efter en karriere, der så ham vinde titler på 140 og 147-pounds.

“Det har været en lang karriere, men i dag er dagen,” Said Peterson. “Jeg er taknemmelig for støtten. Jeg elsker alle her, og jeg vil altid støtte dette område, men jeg er sikker på, at det er tid for mig at lægge det på. Jeg kunne ikke gå ud på en bedre måde her hjemme. Dette er sidste gang du ser mig i ringen.”

Natten indeholdt også Anthony Peterson (37-1-1, 24 KOS), Lamonts bror, da han kæmpede til en split-uafgjort mod tidligere mester Argenis Mendez (25-5-2, 12 KOS) i et super-letvægtsmatch frem og tilbage.

Peterson etablerede sin bevægelse tidligt, da han så ud til at vælge sine pletter for at angribe Mendez med kombinationer til hoved og krop. Peterson blinkede med god hastighed og var den travlere fighter især tidligt, ofte sætte Mendez i defensiven under flurries i første halvdel af kampen.

“Jeg kunne have kastet flere slag i første halvdel af kampen,” sagde Mendez. “Jeg tror, ​​det var forskellen, men jeg tror ikke, du kan vinde kampen på flugt. Jeg vidste, at jeg var på hans hjemmebane, og det var i mit sind at gøre lidt ekstra. Peterson er en stor fighter, og han er god for sporten, så jeg vidste, at jeg var nødt til at skubbe kampen.”

Mendez begyndte kampen for at imødegå, men hentede sin lovovertrædelse, der arbejdede ud af en jab, der svulmede Peterson's venstre øje i de sene runder af kampen. Mendez var i stand til at lande med venstre kroge og store bogstaver for at åbne sin lovovertrædelse, efterhånden som kampen fortsatte.

“I går aftes var faktisk den første nat, hvor jeg virkelig studerede Mendezs kampe, og jeg vidste, at han var god og glat,” Said Peterson. “Der var tidspunkter, hvor jeg ikke deltog i årsagen til hans modarbejde. Jeg tog mig tid og brugte min jab og flyttede.”

Mens Peterson holdt en robust 137 til 83 fordel i slag landede, det var kun en forskel på seks slag i landede kraftstempler. Efter 10 runde så alle tre dommere kampen anderledes, med en score på 96-94 for hver fighter og den tredje dommer, der scorer det 95-95 resulterer i delt lodtrækning.

“Jeg troede ikke, det var uafgjort,” sagde Mendez. “Jeg ved, at hver runde var tæt, men jeg tror, ​​jeg vandt kampen. Jeg vil ikke sige, at det var let, men jeg tror, ​​jeg vandt komfortabelt. Han kørte hele kampen, og jeg prøvede at kaste modstød og fange ham.”

“Jeg kan ikke være så skuffet, fordi jeg ikke tabte, men jeg var bare glad for at kæmpe foran mine fans,” Said Peterson. “Jeg har været ude af ringen i lang tid, og jeg synes, det gik okay, men hvis dommerne så uafgjort, så de uafgjort. Jeg er ikke sur på det.”

Yderligere handling indeholdt super weltervægt udfordrer Jamontay Clark (14-1, 7 KOS) overlevede en tidlig knockdown for at tjene en snæver enstemmig beslutning over tidligere ubesejrede Vernon Brown (10-1-1, 7 KOS) efter 10 handlingsrunder.

Brown scorede det første store slag i kampen, lander en perfekt mod højre krog på indersiden, der sendte Clark til at styrte ned i rebene. Dommer Kenny Chevalier udelukkede det en knockdown, fastslå, at Clark havde brugt rebene for at undgå at ramme lærredet.

“Han havde rækkevidde, og jeg prøvede at fange ham. Jeg kastede min krog, men jeg var lidt væk. Jeg tror stadig, at jeg vandt kampen. Jeg fangede ham med de bedre skud. Han slog mig bare med krogen og prøvede at indhente den måde.

Clark var i stand til at overleve angrebet og afslutte runden og syntes at komme sig, indtil han kom til skade igen sent i runde fire. Derfra, Clark begyndte at øge sin punch output, ude at arbejde Brown på vej til en 162 til 97 fordel i samlede landede slag.

“Jeg bokste lidt bedre de sidste par runder og brugte min højde,” Said Clark. “Jeg fik ham til at savne og fik ham til at rækkevidde. Det var spilplanen.”

Brown forsøgte at udføre mere arbejde på indersiden med store kraftstempler, der ville skade Clark og potentielt afslutte kampen. Ifølge Compubox, kun 49 sekunder i gennemsnit pr. runde blev kæmpet på indersiden, så Clark får en fordel i anden halvdel af kampen.

Efter 10 runde så dommerne kampen lukkes, men alle tre styrede Clark til fordel med totaler af 96-93 to gange og 95-94.

“Jeg har været nede før, og jeg har set det værste af det værste,” Said Clark. “Dette var intet. Jeg blev bare ved med at male. Jeg fik sejren, og nu skal jeg sætte mig ned og se, hvad der er næste for mig.”

“Hvis de vil gøre det igen, Lad os gøre det igen,” Said Brown. “Lad os gøre det til en 12 rounder. Jeg tror ikke, han kan overleve 12 runder med mig. Min træner vidste, at jeg havde brug for knockout, men det går stadig videre. Jeg skal bare ind i gymnastiksalen og arbejde endnu hårdere.”

Før hovedudsendelsen, PBC Prelims på FS1 sav Aaron Coley (16-2-1, 7 KOS) vind en split-beslutning over Brandon Quarles (21-5-1, 10 KOS) af snesevis af 77-75 til Quarles og 79-73 og 78-74 for Coley efter otte runder med super weltervægt action.

LAS VEGAS (Februar. 17, 2018) – Former two-division world champion Danny Garcia returned with a vengeance, knocking out Brandon Rios in a WBC Welterweight Title Eliminator in the main event of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING Lørdag on SHOWTIME from Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.
Returning for the first time since dropping a close split-decision to Keith Thurman in a welterweight world championship unification fight in March of 2017, Garcia reminded fans of his position amongst boxing’s elite at 147 pounds with an early candidate for 2018 Knockout of the Year.
Garcia (34-1, 20 KOS) did his best work in the center of the ring, where he was able to box at a distance and fend off Riosfurious pace. Rios, who returned in 2017 from a brief retirement, was most effective against the ropes where he gave Garcia trouble with his constant pressure and his favorite weapona wide overhand right.
In the ninth round with the fight where Garcia wanted itin the center of the ringthe Philadelphia native landed a huge counter right to the chin that sent Rios flat on his back. Rios beat the count, but was clearly wobbly on his feet, forcing referee Kenny Bayless to halt the contest at 2:25 of the ninth.
I felt the ring rust a little bit in the beginning,” Said Garcia, who recorded the 20th knockout of his career. “He’s a good inside fighter and he was giving me some good uppercuts. Jeg følte mig godt, it was a good nine rounds. Han kom til at kæmpe. I came to box, I did that. I came to bang, and I gave the fans what they wanteda knockout.
I just noticed when I was getting my punches off he was standing right in front of me and I just let it go. As soon as I got the fight in the middle of the ring where I wanted I landed good shots. I was just letting my hands go and the punch landed.
Efter kampen, SHOWTIME Sports reporter Jim Gray asked Garcia how the loss to Thurman affected him.
The loss was tough. I have the mindset of a winner,” Garcia said. “I hate losing. I took it like a true champion and I bounced back like a true champion.
I would love the rematch with Keith Thurman. It’s on him. Whenever he’s ready we’ll fight.
WBA and WBC Champion Thurman isn’t the only potential blockbuster on the horizon for Garcia. Former welterweight champion and the WBC’s No. 1 ranked contender Shawn Porter looms for what would be a massive showdown between the former champions.
Efter kampen, Rios (34-4-1, 24 KOS) was frustrated with the stoppage and promised to return.
I’m mad. I don’t like going out like that,” Rios said. “I’m a warrior, I got back up and I wanted to continue. I guess they stopped it but I’m mad. I’m mad because I got up.
I was doing good. I got lazy with the jab and he came over with the right hand and he caught me. I’m a warrior. I’m still in the game. I didn’t think he did much to hurt me. I think it was closer than what he thought it was. He just caught me with a lucky punch. I was ready to continue.
Boxing’s youngest world champion, David Benavidez, left no questions in a rematch with Ronald Gavril, defending his WBC Super Middleweight World Championship with a dominating 12-round unanimous decision in Lørdagens co-feature on SHOWTIME.
The 21-year-old Benavidez and Gavril had fought to a close split-decision in one of 2017’s best fights that saw Benavidez drop to the canvas in the final minute of the 12th og sidste runde. The Phoenix native had no trouble in the immediate rematch, utilizing a stiff jab and a steady diet of combo shots to win a near-shutout over the game Gavril.
Benavidez (20-0, 17 KOS) wore down Gavril with an intelligent body attack, pounding the midsection to open up power shots and jabs to the head. Benavidez had his best round in the fourth, connecting on a huge right uppercut that nearly floored Gavrilwho appeared to be saved by the ropesand then pounced with a series of damaging combo shots.
Benavidez appeared to hurt his right hand in the second half of the fight and stepped off the gas in the 10th, 11th and 12th. But Benavidez, who connected on 41 procent af hans magt skud, still landed the harder shots and utilized a stiff left jab to keep Gavril largely at bay.
I knew he was going to come aggressive. He’s a one-trick opponent,” Benavidez said. “I knew I could jab and box him all day. When I saw the opening I took it. I didn’t knock him out thoughhe’s a tough son of a gun.
Both my hands hurt but I have that warrior’s mentality so I kept pushing.
I want to be the best in division. So whoever they put in front of me that’s what I want to do.
Gavril (18-3, 14 KOS) didn’t make any excuses for dropping what was an action-packed affair that was scored 119-109 og 120-108 to gange.
He tried to box me on the outside,” Gavril said. “It was good fight. He was the better man tonight. Hvad kan jeg sige? I want to go back in the gym and come back stronger.
In the opening bout of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING, Yordenis Ugas scored the biggest win of his career, knocking out Ray Robinson in the seventh round of an IBF Welterweight Eliminator.
Ugas (21-3, 10 KOS) now holds the IBF’s No. 2 position to undefeated champion Errol Spence Jr.
Ugas, a former amateur standout who is now 6-0 since moving up to the 147-pound class, set the tone with a knockdown in the closing minute of the opening round. Robinson (24-3, 12 KOS) survived and was later deducted a point for hitting after the bell as the fourth round came to a close. The illegal punch floored an unexpected Ugas, who rebounded and continued to dominate the subsequent rounds.
In the opening minute of the seventh, the 31-year-old Ugas landed a massive right that floored Robinson, who beat the count but was clearly hurt. Ugas unleashed an onslaught with a series of combos, forcing referee Robert Byrd to step in to halt the contest at 1:05 with Robinson defenseless against the ropes.
Ugas landed 51 percent of his power shots and was comfortably ahead on all three judges at the time of the stoppage.
I felt like I was the stronger fighter by far and he didn’t hurt me,” said Ugas. “He lost a point for hitting me after the bell sounded, and knocked me down, but even that didn’t hurt me. He was very awkward and his style threw off my timing.
Luckily I was able to land body shots that I knew were hurting him. I was able to dictate the pace and we never in trouble.
I want Errol Spence next. Everyone wants Errol.

Here is what the fighters had to say from Rhythm & Riffs Lounge in Las Vegas:
DANNY GARCIA
I took a little under a year off just to enjoy my life. I’ve worked hard my whole life; I’ve been boxing for 20 år. I just wanted to be a regular person and let my mind rest, spend time with my daughter and enjoy some of my money.
“Mere end noget andet, I just felt like I needed the rest. It wasn’t about the hunger because I’ve always had passion for the sport. Jeg elsker boksning. I love the competition.
I’m back now and I’ve been in camp for three months. Jeg træner hårdt. I feel great and I feel confident.
It was a close fight against Thurman. I walked out of there with no injuries. Thurman was the one with the elbow injury, so he took more punishment than me. I could easily be unified champion of the world right now. Ved slutningen af ​​dagen, I’m a champion. That’s my mindset. What doesn’t break me, makes me stronger.
It feels great to be from Philly right now. The atmosphere is crazy. When the Eagles won the Super Bowl, it felt like I won. They motivated me to go out there and do what I have to do.
It’s the Danny Garcia show so I’m going to go in there and do what I want to do. I’m going to dictate the pace. If we want to bang, we can bang. If we want to box, we can box.
I’ve faced fighters that came straight at me before. I’ve faced fighters that moved. I’m prepared for whatever. I’m a young veteran in the sport and what made me a true champion is adapting to anything and overcoming adversity. If I have to overcome adversity på lørdag nat, then I’m going to do that because that’s what I was built for.
I need to get a victory på lørdag nat. I can’t overlook anybody. I’ve seen some crazy things happen in boxing. One punch can change everything, so I’m just focused på lørdag nat.”
BRANDON RIOS
“Jeg er klar 100 procent. I’m ready to give the fans an exciting show and that’s what I’ve prepared for. That’s my style. I always come forward and I come to fight. We ain’t dancing, we’re going to be fighting.
Robert Garcia has always been my brother. He’s a brother from another mother. It felt great to be back with Robert Garcia and I’m just ready for the fight now. Him and Donald Leary have me confident in myself, and that’s the most important thing.
I’m going to take advantage of every opportunity. This can make or break me. I’m doing everything right in training and dieting. I usually say I can’t wait until weigh-ins but this time I can’t wait until Lørdag.
There’s no weight issue at all. I’m perfectly on-weight right now. I’m perfectly fine health-wise, there’s no injuries. Jeg er 100 percent ready.
DAVID Benavidez
I’m going to put Gavril into retirement after this fight. Jeg har tænkt mig at slå ham ud. This is going to be the fight of the night so you guys don’t want to miss it. He’s not going to want to box again after I get done with him.
He dropped me but I wasn’t hurt at any point of that fight. I got back up and smiled. I did not feel his power at all.
It wasn’t a tough decision to give him a rematch because it was a great fight. I just want to give the fans the fights they want to see. They said the first one was a war, let’s make this one a war too.
I’m not offended by Gavril’s talk because he’s a good fighter. This is just more hype for the fight and more motivation for me to go in there and make it a war.
“Denne gang, there’s going to be a little bit more boxing. I really want to put this guy away so in order to do that, I need to step up every part of my game.
Ronald Gavril
In the first fight, I proved to everybody that I have the skill and the power to be the best in this division. Jeg troede, at jeg vandt kampen, especially with the knockdown. So now, I had more than eight weeks to prepare for this fight when I only had four weeks for the first fight. I’m better now.
I was not surprised Benavidez gave me the rematch because it was such a good fight. I think Benavidez talks to much. He said before the first fight that he was coming to stop me in four rounds or five rounds. He cannot stop me. Og nu, he said the same thing before this fight. He can’t do that. Why do you think he got a new fitness coach?”
YORDENIS UGAS
Moving up from 140 til 147 i 2016 has been great for me. Putting on the extra weight only makes me stronger.
I’m ready to fight Robinson. jeg føler 100 percent and after I fight him på lørdag, I’m looking forward to fighting (Errol) Spence if I’m successful.
I’m going to jump on the fact that I have length and reach on him. I have the height advantage. I can find a way to come in and attack the body first.
“Dette er absolut den største kamp i min karriere. It’s an eliminator so I’m going for the win på lørdag nat.”
RAY ROBINSON
At one point, I used to put a lot of pressure on myself because of my name. I put so much pressure on myself that I even think I lost a couple fights. I look up to Sugar Ray Robinson, but I’m here to put my own footprints in the sand.
I have learned from every fight and gotten better every fight as a pro and as a person. I have a great team now and they have only added to my craft.
I feel confident. I did all of the hard work in the gym with my team. This is the easy part. I can box with a blindfold on. That’s the one thing I know how to do – kamp. Lørdag, all of my hard work is going to pay off.

Here is what the fighters had to say from House of Blues at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas on Wednesday:
DANNY GARCIA
I’m just hungry for this fight. At the end of the day I have the passion for boxing, and I love the competition. That’s what motivates me and that’s what has motivated me to get back in there and get back on top. It all starts på lørdag nat.
I can’t worry about what [Brandon] is doing. At the end of the day I know he trained his heart out for this fight and this is an opportunity of a lifetime for him. Dette er en stor kamp for mig. I have to go in there and show that I’m one of the best fighters in the world. I just have to go in there and be Danny Garcia.
It’s great to be back here in Vegas. This is a big-fight atmosphere and it just motivates me. I feel good and I can’t wait to go in there and fight.
I’m going to do a little bit of everything, it just depends how I feel. I’m gonna bang, I’m gonna box. Jeg har tænkt mig at bakke ham op. I’m going to do everything.
I try to knock everyone out in the first round. I’ll go and get that check. Twelve rounds or less. I’d like to get it done in under eight or six. But if not I’ll go 12 runder. I have a great team and I’ve been training hard.
I don’t blame Keith Thurman for not wanting to fight me again. I wouldn’t want to fight me two times in row. My journey and my superstardom start again på lørdag nat. My job then is to show the work and that I’m still one of the superstars of this sport.
“Jeg er 29 years old and in the prime of my career. It starts now. I’m ready to get back on track.
I represent Philly wherever I go. I represent all Latinos all around the world. When you’re a world champion boxer you represent everyone around the world.
He likes to bang…Lad os gøre det. I feel like I’m the stronger man and there’s no need to back up. If that’s what it takes to get the job done.
BRANDON RIOS
“Jeg er klar. I’ve been training really hard and I’m focused and dedicated to the boxing game. In the past I was immature and just being a kid and being a dork and just going with heart and ballsthat’s what I was doing it with. But now I want to get back to the top and I know what it takes to get there.
I don’t care what the critics say because at the end of the day that’s what they are, just critics. It’s all good. I can tell you right now I’m in shape. Jeg er på vægten allerede.
Everyone knows the way I fight. Going all out is my style. I’ll walk through brick walls to get the victory. Everyone will see på lørdag night the new and improved Bam Bam.
Think about why I looked like [crap] efter min sidste kamp. I’ve been through wars after wars and wars in my previous fights, and that takes a toll on your body. It happens. And I realized it and I took a step back and I wasn’t doing it right with dieting and training. I was doing it with heart and balls.
Now I feel rejuvenated and fresh. So you will see the new and improved Brandon. I feel young and not war-shot, or whatever you guys want to call it. I want to go out there and prove everyone wrong. I’m going to prove every one of you wrong. There’s going to be a smile on my face when I win this fight and I will put up my middle finger to all of you.
Danny’s a strong fighter and he has power in both hands. He’s a great counter-puncher. One thing I like is he doesn’t move or run, he likes to bang it out, and that suits my style better. But if he does run, we’ll be ready for that too. I sparred with young guys, så jeg er klar.
Thanks to all of you guys for calling me out, and calling me a cherry, or whatever. Jeg elsker det. It’s all good. That’s the chip on my shoulder I got. I’m not a cherry, I might be a wild berry, but I’m not a cherry.
DAVID Benavidez
The preparation we had for this camp was amazing. Three months in training camp, we made a lot of changes for this fight and we’re ready to go in there and take care of business.
Winning the title changed my confidence but it changed my work too. Now I know everybody is gunning for my title and I don’t want to let it go. All the work and sacrifice it took for me to get thisI’m not going to let it go.
“Jeg føler meget stærkt. Vægten er godt. I feel amazing and you guys are going to see it comeLørdag.
I don’t think Gavril can do any better than he did in the last fight. He’s a one trick pony and he doesn’t have many tricks left, he’s getting old. We’ve been working on a lot of different styles for this fight and I feel more than ready.
I’m very motivated. I stayed very dedicated to this training camp. I’m ready to go in there and play no games. I’m going to do what I say and I’m going to knock Gavril out.
I feel I could have done better in the first fight. Having everybody tell me Gavril should have won and him talking a lot of smack, it’s the motivation and drive that I needed to train the way I did in this camp.
The sickness during the first fight took a lot out of me but my mentality is that I’m a warrior and I’m always going to push through it no matter what. Denne gang, we didn’t have any injuries or sickness so I can’t wait to put on a show på lørdag.
This is the first time I’ve really had a chip on my shoulder. All the hard work it took for me to get this belt, and people say it was just given to me? No way, I’m going to go in there and show why I’m the youngest champion in the super middleweight division.
I want to become the best in the division. I want to earn every victory and fight the best. I would love to fight the World Boxing Super Series winner. I’ll be ready for anybody. I worked so hard to get this, nobody can take it from me.
I’m thinking it will be a knockout around Round 5. It’s going to be a combination of the body and chin. It’s not really looking for the knockout, it’s just setting it up. I’m not going in just throwing haymakers, but I’ll set it up and if it comes, it will come in spectacular fashion.
Ronald Gavril
I trained a little bit different this time. I had way more time than the first fight to prepare. Last time was four weeks, this time I had a full 10 uger. I have done a lot of rounds of sparring and a lot of work related to this fight.
I learn after every fight. From the first fight against Benavidez, I learned even more because it was a tough, tight fight.
His people tried to make him a superstar before he fought me. I don’t know what people said after the first fight, but they should wait until after the rematch. I’m the stronger fighter.
The difference in this fight is going to be who boxes smarter. I feel I’m the smarter fighter because if I need to box, I box; if I need to put pressure, I put pressure. I can adapt.
I think this is going to be the fight of the year. It’s going to be special. The fans should all come see this fight because it’s going to be amazing with two warriors.
I’m not looking for a knockout. I’m looking to win every round. But I also don’t want to leave it in the judgeshands like last time, så vi vil se, hvad der sker Lørdag.
I’m ready to win. It would be a dream come true. This is why I came here to America from Romania.
YORDENIS UGAS
We are both good fighters. But I am ready to put on the fight of the night for the fans and I will be victorious.
I’m more than ready to get back in the ring. I know what’s at stake. This is a title eliminator and it is the biggest fight of my career. I’m ready to get even better and show the world that I’m ready to be at that top tier of boxing.
Because of the intensity of this fight, I think it has the potential to be the fight of the night. This is going to shine over all the other fights.
RAY ROBINSON
Training camp was perfect. My team did everything to prepare me for this fight. I dotted every ‘Iand crossed every ‘Tfor this fight. This was one of the best camps I’ve had and I’m excited to get in the ring på lørdag.
Carrying Sugar Ray’s name is obviously a pleasure. Growing up, I had a lot of pressure on myself with my name being Ray Robinson. Sometimes I think I even lost fights because I put too much pressure on myself having that name. So now, I make sure I don’t put too much pressure on myself.
This is the type of fight that I roll out of bed for. You get tired of fighting regular guys. I’m an old school fighterI love fighting guys that look good on paper and nobody knows who’s going to win and it’s up to his camp and my camp. I haven’t been this excited for a fight in a long time.
I expect hell. That’s how I’ve been preparing. If it’s anything less than that, he’ll be sorry. That’s how I’ve been traininglike we’re fighting for a world title. I’m going to bring all the hardship I’ve had in my life into this fight på lørdag nat.
I’m an old school fighter. I’ll fight people in their grandma’s back yard if I have to. Det er ligegyldigt, hvem jeg kæmper. I’ll just do it Kimbo Slice-style. Once we conquer Lørdag, we are supposed to fight Errol Spence and even if that doesn’t happen, we’re looking for a world title. Errol Spence, (Keith) Thurman, Jeg er klar til at rocke.
Every time we put the gloves on, we want to do something special. Especially with this fight being on SHOWTIME, we just made sure we prepared the right way. But it doesn’t matter if it’s on TV or not, we still have to put on a good fight.
Each fight that I have is a stepping stone in my career. This is no different just because it’s in Vegas. I’m not going to put too much pressure on myself and blow this up and make it bigger than what it needs to me. Vegas, the crowds, lysene – that’s all cool and dandy but at the end of the day I still have to do my job.

Here is what Garcia, Ellerbe, Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe and Danny’s father and trainer, Angel Garcia had to say Fredag from DSG Boxing Gym in Philadelphia:
DANNY GARCIA
“Ved slutningen af ​​dagen, everyone at welterweight has to prove themselves. The pieces will fall into place. Eventually we’ll all fight each other. I’m just going to keep taking it one fight at a time.
I’m excited to get back in the ring. I feel rejuvenated. My body feels fresh. Training camp has gone really well and now it’s time to get in there and go to work.
I learned from the Keith Thurman fight not to leave anything in the hands of the judges. It was a close fight that could have gone either way. I have to go for the kill, so it is what it is.
I was just enjoying myself for a little bit after the Thurman fight. I knew that I’d be back so it was good to get some time with my family and away from boxing. Now I’m back and ready to go.
This is a new chapter in my career. There are new obstacles to overcome. Just like I’ve always had in my career. I’m going to take it one fight at a time so I can get back to where I belong.
Once you’re a champion, you’re always a champion. På Februar 17 I’m going to show everyone why I’m one of the best fighters in the world.
I’ve had my best performances in Las Vegas against Amir Khan and Lucas Matthysse. Las Vegas is where the stars fight so I’m happy to be fighting there again.
I’ve been preparing for everything. I’ve been working on boxing and brawling; it’ll just depend how I feel when the fight starts. I’m going to be ready for 12 rounds regardless.
DANNELL ELLERBE, Philadelphia Eagles linebacker
Just to know how starving Philadelphia has been for a Super Bowl championship, and to bring the first one, it’s a great feeling. These fans give you energy and make you play better.
It’s all love between the Philly athletes. We all show up for each other’s events and support each other. That’s really big to have a supportive community and I’m sure everyone will be rooting for Danny næste lørdag.”
ANGEL GARCIA, Dannys far & Trainer
Brandon Rios is not going to be an easy opponent. Dette vil være en stor kamp. Rios is a very tough fighter. There’s no way this is going to be an easy fight and Danny knows that.
Danny knows he can’t take anything lightly because Brandon Rios will be prepared. But he’s not going to win. Danny Garcia has never taken a beating; he gives them out.
Brandon Rios better keep his hands up. We’ll be ready in one week for Danny Garcia to be at his best. You’re going to see him once again show his great skills.
LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO for Mayweather Promotions
“Garcia vs. Brandon Rios is a great stylistic matchup. Rios is a very aggressive fighter who likes to put pressure on. Danny is a boxer-puncher, but I think you see that Danny really comes forward. He’s a guy who’s boxing skills are underrated.
Danny Garcia has been a unified champion and shown he’s one of the best fighters in the world. Såsom Februar 17, he’s going to make a big statement. There’s a lot of justified talk about other welterweights, but Danny Garcia is a name in this division who is here to stay.
The Benavidez vs. Gavril rematch is a fantastic fight. It’s a fight people have been looking for since the first time they faced off. I think it’s going to live up to what everyone has expected. I know Ronald has made some adjustments, and I’m sure Benavidez has made some too. I think it’s going to be an all-out war.

Her er hvad de krigere havde at sige Onsdag from NGBA Boxing Gym:
BRANDON RIOS
I’m training really hard and I’m ready to get back in the ring. My weight is perfect right now and I’m just ready to give the fans a great show.
This is the kind of fight that I asked for because I know that beating a guy like Danny Garcia will mean a lot to my career and put me on the fast track to accomplish my goals.
Danny has a lot of power on his hook. He throws it hard and is accurate. We’ve worked hard to prepare for this moment and I’m excited.
Having Robert Garcia here makes me much happier in training. I love the instructions from him and Donald Leary, and I love having them as my corner. Sparring the young guys in Robert’s gym really has helped me. Those guys are hungry and always pushing to prove themselves. I have to keep elevating my game.
As long as I beat Danny Garcia, I know that it puts me back to the top of this division. I’m here again and I’m doing it right this time. I want to make the most of this part of my career. I don’t want to ever wonderwhat if?'”
“Jeg har tænkt mig at vinde. That’s my mentality. I’m going into this fight with that same hunger and drive to never be defeated. I’m going to do whatever I have to do to win this fight.
We’re expecting to fight the best version of Danny Garcia. I know he had his first loss and wants his title back, so he’ll be prepared. I think we’re going to give the fans a great show.
I feel rejuvenated and more mature than ever before. I’ve already been to the top. I just want to do things right this time so I can get back up there and stay there. I’m taking this camp very seriously to be at my best on February 17. I’m going to go out there and execute the game plan.
We’re going to give 150 tickets to first responders of the Las Vegas incident last year and it means a lot to me and my whole team. Those men and women work very hard and put their lives on the line to protect us all around the world. It means a lot to me for them to come to this show.
ROBERT GARCIA, Rios’ Trainer
For this fight Brandon has been so motivated and training so hard. He’s very close to weight already and we’ve had more than enough rounds of sparring.
Brandon is like my little brother and he’s definitely part of the family. I’ve always been in touch with him even when I wasn’t training him. When we agreed to team up again, the promise was that he had to stay healthy and train hard and show us that he wants to be champion again. Since that day, he’s been on a mission. He’s doing it the right way.
Danny Garcia is a great two-division world champion. We expect him to be confident and I’m sure he’s training hard to get a good win. Brandon is going to be motivated to give everyone a great fight. His mind set is to go out and beat Danny Garcia and that’s what he’s going to do.
Brandon is training hard to do what people don’t believe he can do. His confidence is like never before. I see the same Brandon that we’ve seen in the best moments of his career.

Ishe Smith Training Camp Notes

Former World Champion Meets Top Contender Julian Williams in Main Event of Premier Boxing Champions on Bounce Live from
The Chelsea Inside The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas on
Lørdag, November. 18
LAS VEGAS (November 14, 2017) – Tidligere verdensmester Ische Smith will look to stake his claim to another world title opportunity when he battles top contender Julian Williams i de vigtigste tilfælde af Premier Boxing Champions on Bounce live from The Chelsea inside The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas on Lørdag, November 18.
Smith knows that Williams provides a steep challenge and the veteran will have to be at his best to hold off the hungry title contender.
Julian Williams is tough, one of the toughest in the division,” Said Smith. “I don’t overlook his talent and what he brings to the sport. I’ve been in boxing going on 17 år, so I’ve seen a lot. Williams hasn’t been tested in all the ways I have. Unlike my opponent, I’ve been in the ring with all levels of fighters: verdensmestre, rising prospects and former world champions. I’ve seen it all.
The winner of his last two contests, Smith most recently defeated then once-beaten Frank Galarza last September. På November 18, Smith looks to prove that his experience and hard work in training camp will make all the difference once the bell rings.
This camp is definitely different than my last one, in the sense that I feel more prepared,” Said Smith. “I have been conditioning my body to go the distance like I have with all fights. With my experience, coupled with my trainer Rafael Ramos, who has been great in preparing me for any and all curveballs my opponent may try and hand me, Jeg er klar.
Training for fights becomes more challenging the longer you stay in the sport, but I’ve always kept it a habit to fine tune my body throughout the year, because at any moment you can get that call. My work and my mindset have improved dramatically and by November 18I’ll be exactly where I need to be.
The Las Vegas-native will fight in his hometown for the 19th time as a professional and as always, the first Las Vegas-born world champion hopes to makeSin Cityproud with his performance.
My city has supported me since day one,” Said Smith. “It feels great to headline another show in my hometown. Through my up and downs my fans have always been there and supported me and this fight won’t be any different; All I can do is get out there and put on a hell of a show. It’s a special feeling to have home court advantage.
