BROOKLYN (მარტი 3, 2019) – Former 154-pound world champion Erislandy Lara and WBA Super Welterweight Champion Brian Castaño fought to a highly competitive split-draw Saturday at Barclays Center, the home of BROOKLYN BOXING™, in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions. With the draw, Castaño retains the WBA belt in what was the toughest test of his career against the longtime top 154-pounder in Lara. The judges scored the fight 115-113 (Castaño), 115-113 (Lara) და 114-114.

Castaño (15-0-1, 11 Kos), who was fighting in his first U.S. მთავარი მოვლენა, held a large advantage in power connects (181-103) while Lara (25-3-3, 14 Kos) found success landing his left hand down the middle on his way to a 34 percent to 27 percent advantage in power accuracy.

In the close, difficult-to-score fight, five of the rounds were separated by three or fewer connects and three of those rounds favored Lara. In the final two rounds, Castaño ramped up the pressure and connected on 44 punches, while Lara landed only 24 punches across the championship rounds. Castaño won the final three rounds on all three judges’ scorecards. Without doing so, the Argentine would have lost his belt.

After the hotly contested fight, both fighters have options, including a rematch, in the talent-rich super welterweight division.

“I know I won the fight. I feel I was robbed,” a disappointed Castaño told SHOWTIME’s Jim Gray. “If he wants the rematch, I’ll give him the rematch. I waited for him this time so I can wait for him again if he wants the rematch. I would give him the rematch if he wants. I can also go ahead and fight any other champion that wants to fight me. I’m ready for whoever they put in front of me. Hurd or anyone else.”

Lara, მეორეს მხრივ, felt he did enough to claim the belt: “I thought I won the fight by landing the more accurate and effective punches. Castaño came to fight but he never hurt me and I hurt him. All I can do is give the fans great fights and that’s what I’ll continue to do. I have a lot of fight left in me and I’m not going anywhere.

“If we have to fight him again, I’ll fight him. Hurd or Castaño. Anybody, I’ll have the rematch with both.”

ამ თანამშრომლობის ფუნქცია, კუბელი მძიმე წონის სლაგერი ლუის Ortiz (31-1, 26 Kos) earned a unanimous decision victory over a game ქრისტიან-Hammer (24-6, 14 Kos). Although the judges scored the fight 100-90 და 99-91 ორჯერ, both men fought through bloody noses at different points in the fight and both were stunned in a back-and-forth second round.

Ortiz, who earned his third consecutive victory since dropping a thrilling slugfest with WBC Heavyweight Champion Deontay Wilder one year ago, is now looking for another world title shot.

“The fight wasn’t what I was expecting,” said Ortiz. “It was a hard fight and my corner really had to work with me. After I got the rhythm, I heated up a little bit. Every heavyweight out there should know that I still have it at 40-years-old. Anthony Joshua, Deontay Wilder, მე მზად ვარ. "

Although Hammer fought with more energy and with more resolve than in previous fights with other top-tier heavyweights Tyson Fury and Alexander Povetkin, Ortiz used his superior technique and skills to eventually cruise to the lopsided decision. Ortiz averaged 45 jabs thrown per round and landed 61 jabs to just 20 for Hammer, while also connecting on 49 პროცენტი მისი ძალა punches. Ortiz made a conscious effort to attack Hammer’s body with 33.6% of his total connects (45 საქართველოს 140) coming via body shots.

“I fought a fight that I hadn’t for years, which is box and work,” said Ortiz. “So I’m not disappointed I didn’t knock him out because I showed some of my boxing skills tonight.”

Ortiz is a very good and experienced fighter,” said the 31-year-old Hammer, who was making his American debut. “He’s technical and smart but he’s not as intimidating as people say he is. I respect Ortiz but I don’t think he’s the best fighter I’ve ever faced.

“I’m very confident going forward. I know that I can go the distance with anyone and I’m willing to fight anyone. People thought I’d get knocked out but I proved them wrong.

In the telecast opener, ედუარდო რამირესი (22-1-3, 9 Kos) საინტერესო ბრძოლაში, სადაც ლუნა წინ გამოდიოდა და აიძულებდა ჯონსონს მთელი ღამის განმავლობაში ჩაერთო Bryan De Gracia (24-2-1, 20 Kos) with a vicious right uppercut in the ninth, stunning his opponent and suddenly breaking open a close fight. Ramirez pounced on the dazed De Gracia and unleashed a wave of punches which forced referee Benjy Esteves to call the fight at 2:10 of round nine.

The southpaw Ramirez, ლოს Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico, was trailing on the scorecards at the time of the stoppage according to two out of three judges (the third had it even). Ramirez, known to grow stronger in the later rounds, connected on 36 punches in round number nine, by far his highest connect total on the night. Although De Gracia was the more aggressive fighter, the Panamanian failed to consistently land punches. De Gracia was accurate on just 27 პროცენტი მისი ძალა punches, while Ramirez landed 38 პროცენტი მისი.

“I definitely knew it was close but my corner kept telling me to keep going and going, and that’s when I caught him,” said Ramirez, who was fighting with a heavy heart following the passing of his grandfather. “I didn’t just come here to fight. I came here to do something and I did it.”

ერთად გამარჯვება, Ramirez is now in line to face WBA (Regular) Featherweight World Champion Can Xu and will be looking to challenge for a world title fight in the deep featherweight division.

In SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING COUNTDOWN action that streamed live on theSHOWTIME Sports YouTube channel and SHOWTIME Boxing Facebook page, Edwin Rodriguez (31-2, 20 Kos) won a 10-round cruiserweight fight via unanimous decision overMitch Williams (16-7-3, 11 Kos) მიერ ქულები 96-94 ორჯერ და 98-92.

Brian Castaño is coming into this fight with an undefeated record, მაგრამ ეს არაფერია, მე არ მინახავს ადრე,” განაცხადა Lara. “This will be my third fight in a row versus an undefeated fighter. მე აღების ამ ძალიან სერიოზულად. Stylistically, I feel I’m the superior fighter, but he’s a very strong champion. I will be prepared to take back a title in this great division, then look to the biggest fights that are out there.

One of the big fights that could be out there for Lara is a rematch with unified 154-pound champion Jarrett Hurd. Lara dropped a split-decision to Hurd in a unification showdown on SHOWTIME that was the consensus 2018 “Fight წელი”, having been recognized by the BWAA, ESPN and Sporting News, სხვათა შორის.

The fight against Hurd was a great fight for the fans, but I felt I won seven or eight rounds that night,” განაცხადა Lara. “To be on the wrong end of another close decision left a bad taste in my mouth. That fight being recognized as ‘Fight of the Yearshows my versatility as a fighter. I was on the ballot before with Alfredo Angulo, so it was good to get recognized for being a warrior, not only a craftsman. I will always give the fans my all and come March 2, it will be no different.

Lara is continuing to to work with longtime trainer Ronnie Shields in Houston, where Lara has prepared for his matchup with sparring that includes going up against top prospects in 18-year-old Joey Spencer and 24-year-old Eimantas Stanionis.

Ronnie and I are working great together, and we have an excellent game plan in place.,” განაცხადა Lara. “This is one of the better camps I’ve had the last few years. Having young fighters like Spencer and Stanionis in camp with me is refreshing because I know they are hungry. როდესაც ჩვენ პაექრობას, მათ ენერგიას ვკვებ, because I know they are trying to take take their game to the next level, which makes me better. This is a demanding sport and they are definitely pushing me.

მარტი 2 also gives Lara a chance to share the stage with another one of Cuba’s best fighters, as Luis Ortiz is set to take on Christian Hammer in the co-main event, making the night a celebration of Cuban boxing.

Luis Ortiz and I go way back and I’m happy that my brother is fighting on the same card as me,” განაცხადა Lara. “We’ve gone through a lot since leaving Cuba to pursue our dreams of becoming world champions here in the U.S. Like myself, I know he’s going to be ready to entertain the fans on fight night and make this a memorable night for Cuban boxing!”

BRIAN CASTAÑO TALKS TRAINING CAMP, ERISLANDY LARA, ARGENTINE LEGENDS & MORE AHEAD OF MAIN EVENT TITLE DEFENSE LIVE ON SHOWTIME®

WBA Super Welterweight Champion Takes on Former World Champion Lara Saturday, მარტი 2 საწყისი Barclays Center in Brooklyn& Presented by Premier Boxing Champions

BROOKLYN(თებერვალი 7, 2019) – WBA super welterweight titlistBrian Castañois nearing his first U.S. main event and talked about how training camp has gone so far as he prepares to face former world championErislandy Laraშაბათს, მარტი 2 live on SHOWTIME from Barclays Center in Brooklynthe home of BROOKLYN BOXING™, and presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

Castaño is trained by his former pro boxer father Carlos in the bustling city of Isidro Casanova in Buenos Aires, Argentina. After a long and successful amateur career leading into his pro debut in 2012, Castaño has a chance on March 2 to make a lasting impact with an impressive performance against Lara.

I’ve been boxing since I was a small child and now this is my opportunity to prove myself on the biggest stage,” said Castaño. “This fight is the moment I’ve been waiting for and the kind of tough challenge that I love. I want to make a statement to the American audience against one of the best fighters in the world.

In recent years, Argentine fighters such as Marcos Maidana, Jesus Cuellar and Lucas Matthysse have become champions and stars in the U.S. with their relentless styles they bring into the ring fight after fight. Castaño specifically has spoken to another Argentine great in Sergio Martinez for inspiration as he continues his journey.

I have a great admiration for the Argentine champions that have made statements and become big names in the U.S. in recent years and I know how difficult that is to achieve,” said Castaño. “I’ve sat and had great conversations with Sergio Martinez not long ago and I was able to learn a lot from a fighter like that.

The 29-year-old first won an interim title with a knockout of Emmanuel de Jesus in 2016, before winning tough 12-round battles against Michel Soro, and most recently a final round stoppage win over Cedric Vitu to capture the belt he will defend on March 2. These were the first two times Castaño fought into the 12 round as a pro.

I learn new things each time I fight,” said Castaño. “When you are a world champion, there are no easy foes. The opponents come stronger and stronger each time. I’ve learned that I have to double my effort every time I get into the ring.

In LaraCastaño faces a challenging former amateur world champion who was the longest-reigning titleholder in the 154-pound division before he lost to fellow champion Jarrett Hurd last April on SHOWTIME in 2018’s Fight of the Year. Castaño is aware of what Lara brings to the fight and is preparing to negate it.

On paper we know that Lara is a slick fighter that can be difficult to catch, while I’m more like a demolisher that goes after you all fight,” said Castaño. “Lara moves around the ring very wisely and has great timing on the counterpunch. ბეჭედი, you never know how it can play out though. I probably haven’t faced someone like him before, so I have to cut off the ring in an even smarter manner.

On March 2, Castaño will be looking to take his career to the next level with his performance, knowing that chances at the highest level are hard to come by.

I’ve taken my career quietly to this point, but I know that I have to make myself known by putting up a great performance in this tough fight,” said Castaño. “I’m prepared to do just that. This is the opportunity that I’ve dreamed of ever since I was a little kid and I have to be ready to rise to the occasion.

DEONTAY WILDER AND TYSON FURY FIGHT TO SPLIT-DECISION DRAW IN EPIC BATTLE ON​ ​SHOWTIME PPV® FROM STAPLES CENTER IN LOS ANGELES

LOS ANGELES (Dec. 1, 2018) – Deontay “The Bronze Bomber” Wilder and Tyson “The Gypsy King” Fury fought to a split-decision draw on SHOWTIME PPV® on Saturday night from STAPLES Center​ ​in​ ​arguably ​one of the best heavyweight fights in years​.​

 

 

 

After controlling the WBC World Championship fight early, Fury (27-0-1, 19 Kos) miraculously overcame two knockdowns by Wilder (40-0-1, 39 Kos) – including one in round 12 – in the improbable draw. მოსამართლეები გაიტანა bout 115-111 for Wilder, 114-112 for Fury and 113-113.

 

 

 

“I think with the two knockdowns I definitely won the fight,” said Wilder, who has recorded a knockdown in each of his 41 pro fights and was defending his WBC belt for the eighth time since 2015. “We poured our hearts out tonight. We’re both warriors, but with those two drops I think I won the fight.”

 

 

Fury saw it differently, stating that he gave it everything he had.

 

 

 

“We’re on away soil, I got knocked down twice, but I still believe I won that fight,” said England’s Fury, whose amazing comeback continues following a two and a half-year absence from the sport from drug and alcohol addiction and mental health issues.​ “I hope I did you all proud after nearly three years out of the ring. I was never going to be knocked down tonight. I showed good heart to get up. I came here tonight and I fought my heart out.​”​

 

 

It was an electrifying night with an attendance announced at 17,698 გულშემატკივარი, which included Hollywood stars and fight fans like former Lakers greats Shaquille O’Neal, Jerry West, former NFL stars Michael Strahan and Michael Irvin, and ​boxing ​legends Evander Holyfield and Floyd Mayweather.

 

 

 

Fury, who out-landed Wilder 84-71 საერთო, was caught by a short right hand by Wilder just behind the left ear to drop Fury for the third time in his career in the ninth round. Then in the 12th, a Wilder right hand and left hook combination sent the 6-foot-9 Fury down again, hitting his head on the canvas. ერთხელ, he managed to ​stand​ up and referee Jack Reiss let him continue to fight.

 

 

 

“Boxing is always the theater of the unexpected, and that’s what we had tonight,” SHOWTIME expert analyst Al Bernstein said.

 

 

 

Bernstein said seeing Fury get up and continue to fight after the brutal knockdown was “one of the most astonishing things I’ve ever seen in the boxing ring.”

 

 

 

SHOWTIME boxing historian and commentator Steve Farhood had Fury controlling the early rounds and Fury winning rounds 3-8, and ultimately scored the fight, 115-111.

 

 

 

Because of a rematch clause, both fighters were asked if they would like to do it again. “I would love for it to be my next fight,” Wilder said. “Why not? Let’s give the fans what they want to see. It was a great fight and let’s do it again. It doesn’t matter to me where we do it.”

 

 

 

“​One hundred​ percent we’ll do the rematch,” said Fury, fighting in the first heavyweight title pay-per-view bout in America since 2002. “We are two great champions. Me and this man are the two best heavyweights on the planet.”

 

 

 

Wilder said he came out slow and rushed his punches. “I didn’t sit still. I was too hesitant. I started overthrowing the right hand and I just couldn’t adjust.”

 

 

 

Fury, fighting for the third time this year with 26-year-old trainer Ben Davison in his corner, also had former boxing great Ricky Hatton and seven-time Trainer of the Year Freddie Roach in his corner.

 

 

 

In the lead-up fight to Wilder-Fury, “Swift” Jarrett Hurd (23-0, 16 Kos) defended his 154-pound IBF and WBA world title belts with a fourth-round knockout against United Kingdom’s James Welborn (24-7, 7 Kos), who was fighting for the first time on American soil.

 

 

Welborn was the aggressor in the first minute of the fourth round, sending Hurd to the ropes with punch after punch to the body and head. Suddenly realizing he might be in trouble, Hurd of Accokeek, Md., countered back from sudden adversity in dramatic fashion and sent Welborn back-tracking before a devastating body punch sent him to one knee. He was counted out at 1:55 by referee Lou Moret, who was officiating the final fight of his 30-plus year career.

 

 

 

შემდეგ ბრძოლა, undefeated super welterweight Jermell Charlo entered the ring to challenge for Hurd’s coveted belts. “We definitely want Charlo,” Hurd told SHOWTIME Sports’ ჯიმ Gray, saying the matchup would likely occur after one more fight. “I’m calling the shots. I’m No. ​1​ right now. When I say answer the phone, answer the phone. I got the date.”

 

 

 

Charlo shot back. “This is easy money. I like those belts – they look real good on you. He said he wants another fight. I’m ready now.”

 

 

 

Hurd, who unified the WBA and IBF belts by beating WBA champion Erislandy Lara in April in Las Vegas, was returning with a surgically repair left shoulder. He threw 118 jabs, more than half of the 220 punches he threw in the fight.

 

 

 

“I’m just coming off surgery so I wanted to see how I worked off the jab,” Hurd said. “I felt good I was working behind the jab I got caught on the ropes and got caught with some shots and said ‘that’s enough. He got enough TV time.’ I heard the crowd and I didn’t want to get brave. So I turned it up and got the knockdown.​”​

 

 

 

Former Wilder foe and heavyweight southpaw Luis “The Real King Kong” Ortiz (30-1, 26 Kos) returned to STAPLES​ Center​ for a second consecutive victory with a resounding 10th-round TKO against Travis “My Time” Kauffman (32-3, 23 Kos) კითხვა, Pa.

 

 

 

The 39-year-old Ortiz of Camaguey, Cuba, registered left-cross knockdowns in the sixth, eighth and 10th rounds before the final blow coming later in the 10th round against a gritty Kauffman. It was the 26th career stoppage for Ortiz, who lost to Wilder in a Fight of the Year candidate back in March.

 

 

 

The fight was officially called at 1:58 of the 10th round. "მე ვარ მებრძოლი,” Ortiz said. “Nothing contains me. We didn’t have to knock him out but we wanted to show everything we have in our repertoire, and we showed it tonight.”

 

 

 

Ortiz, who was warned twice for low blows, clipped Kauffman for a second time by a lethal left hand of Ortiz at 2:29 მერვე რაუნდში. But just like the first time he was send to canvas in the sixth round, Kauffman was able to get up and continue fighting.

 

 

 

The technically sound performance by Ortiz included 376 jab attempts to Kauffman’s 99 and out-landing him 66-7. That led to a 135-37 lead in total connects and a 69-30 margin in power connects against Kauffman, who SHOWTIME commentator Paulie Malignaggi called, “a stubborn guy who wouldn’t go away.”

 

 

 

“Of course I’ll fight the winner of this fight [Wilder-Fury],” Ortiz said. “I want that second fight with Wilder. I want to fight anybody.”

 

 

 

In the ​pay-per-view​ telecast opener, Joe “The Juggernaut” Joyce (7-0, 7 Kos) recorded a massive first-round knockout against Joe “The Future” Hanks (23-3, 15 Kos). A rising heavyweight, Joyce, ლონდონიდან, England, ended the fight officially after just 2:25 as he used a right jab to set up a near-perfect left hook sending Hanks to the canvas and down for the count.

 

 

 

Trained by noted trainer Abel Sanchez, Joyce told Gray he’s ready for anyone. “I want to get in some bigger fights,” said the former Olympic silver medal winner who recorded his fourth first-round KO. “I’ve been doing well so there is plenty more to come. All the support from back home in England, thanks for coming. I hope I put on something good to watch.”

 

 

 

It was the second win in the United States for Joyce, who also picked up the vacant WBA Continental heavyweight title. “I’m getting people out quickly,"მან განაცხადა,. “I’ve got a lot of experience, I’m just going to improve on my strength and my speed. I’ve heard comments that I’m slow but I seem to land the shots and get the job done.”

 

 

 

It was the third time during his career that Hanks, from Newark, N.J., has been knocked down by a left hook.

 

 

 

Earlier in the night on SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION Adonis Stevenson’s five-and-a-half year reign as the WBC Light Heavyweight Champion of the World ended as Oleksandr Gvozdyk dethroned boxing’s longest reigning champion with a devastating 11th round knockout from Videotron Center in Quebec City. ვიდეო: https://s.sho.com/2BMNZIx.

LOS ANGELES (ნოემბერი 30, 2018) – აშშ-ში მძიმე წონის ყველაზე მნიშვნელოვანი მოვლენის დაწყებამდე ერთი დღით ადრე. მეტი 15 წელი, მძიმეწონოსანი ლეგენდები ლოს ანჯელესში ჩამოვიდნენ და განიხილეს Deontay Wilder vs. ტაისონ ფიურის გამოსვლა, რომელიც პირდაპირ ეთერში იქნება SHOWTIME PPV- ზე® შაბათს ღამით STAPLES ცენტრიდან Premier Boxing Champions- ის მიერ წარმოდგენილ ღონისძიებაში.

ბილეთების ღონისძიება, რომელსაც ხელს უწყობენ BombZquad Enterprises და Queensberry Promotions, TGB Promotions– სა და DiBella Entertainment– თან ერთად, ახლა იყიდება და ხელმისაწვდომია AXS.com.

მრგვალ მაგიდას უმასპინძლა SHOWTIME Sports- ის ჯილდოს ჟურნალისტმა ჯიმ გრეიმ სასტუმრო Westin Bonaventure- დან. & ლუქსი, Los Angeles. აქ არის ის, რაც მძიმეწონოსან ლეგენდებებს უთხრეს პარასკევს:

 

ევანდერ ჰოლიფილდი

 

 

“ვგრძნობ, რომ დეონტე უაილდერი გაიმარჯვებს, რადგან საბოლოოდ ის დაეშვება ამ მარჯვენა ხელით. ის ძალიან მომთმენია. ის მოაზროვნეა, მაგრამ მას ასევე შეუძლია მიიღოს შანსი. როდესაც ხალხი შანსებს მიიღებს, ისინი იმარჯვებენ.

 

 

 

“დეონტას შეიძლება ისეთი გამოცდილება არ ჰქონდეს, როგორც ჩვენს დროში, მაგრამ მას აქვს ძალა. ეს არის ის, რისი დანახვაც სურს ხალხს და მე ვფიქრობ, რომ ისინი ბედნიერები იქნებიან, როდესაც დაინახავენ.

 

 

 

“იყო დრო, როდესაც ყველა დიდი მძიმე წონა ამერიკიდან იყო. ძალიან კარგი სამოყვარულო პროგრამა გვქონდა. მე ვიყავი ბოლო ჭეშმარიტი ჩემპიონი მძიმე წონით კატეგორიებში აშშ-დან. უაილდერამდე და სანამ ლენოქსის წინააღმდეგ გადაწყვეტილებას არ დავკარგავდი.

 

 

 

“იყოს მძიმე წონის მსოფლიო ჩემპიონი, და იმის თქმა, რომ შენ საუკეთესო ხარ, თქვენ უნდა იბრძოლოთ ნებისმიერ კაცთან.”

 

LENNOX LEWIS

 

 

 

“ვფიქრობ, ეს დიდი ბრძოლა იქნება. Deontay Wilder- ს აქვს შესანიშნავი მარჯვენა ხელი და როდესაც ის დაეშვება, არც ისე ბევრ ადამიანს შეუძლია აღუდგეს მას. მე ასევე ვფიქრობ, რომ ვერ დააზარალებ იმას, რასაც ვერ მოხვდები. ტაისონ ფიური არ არის ადვილი მოსახვედრი ადამიანი. მას აქვს დიდი უნარი და მოძრაობა. მე ადრე მივდივარ Deontay- სთან ან გვიან Fury- სთან.

 

 

 

“ყველამ ვიცით, თუ როგორ იგრძნობა მძიმე წონით ჩემპიონატში წაგება. ჩვენ ვიცით, რამდენად რთულია მისი დაბრუნება. ფურიმ დაკარგა, ახლა კი მას სურს დაბრუნება. ახლა ვხედავ, რომ ის მსხვერპლს სწირავს და საკუთარ თავს ეუბნება, რომ ეს არ უნდა დაეკარგა, და ახლა მან უნდა დაიბრუნოს იგი.

 

 

 

“ვფიქრობ, ხედი ბრიტანეთის ბრიტანეთში. არის ის, რომ ტაისონ ფიური არის ის ადამიანი, ვინც ნაბიჯზე ნაბიჯზე ადგა. ხელთათმანი იქვე დააგდეს და ის ბრიტანეთს დაუდგა. დეონტეი ინგლისში ჩამოვიდა ენტონი ჯოშუას გამოწვევისთვის, მაგრამ ტაისონ ფიურიმ უპასუხა ზარს.

 

 

 

“მე ვიტყოდი, რომ კრივში ორიოდე მექა, რომლებიც ის ადგილებია, სადაც ყველას სურს ბრძოლა. Las Vegas, ნიუ იორკი და რა თქმა უნდა, Los Angeles. ჩემი ბრძოლა ვიტალი კლიჩკოს წინააღმდეგ STAPLES Center- ში დიდი ბრძოლა იყო. ჩემი გეგმა იმ ღამეს არ იყო კასეტში მანძილის გავლა, მოკრიფა მოკლე მანძილზე გასასვლელად და ასეც მოხდა.”

 

RIDDICK მშვილდი

 

 

 

“ხვალ საღამოს დეონტე უაილდერთან მივდივარ. ის ყველასთვის შესანიშნავ შოუს ჩვენებას და კიდევ ერთ ნოკაუტს მიიღებს.

 

 

 

“ტაისონ ფიური გამოცდილი და მაღალია, მაგრამ ჩემთვის, ის საკმარისად არ აკეთებს დანაშაულს. ის მოძრაობს, მაგრამ ხელები საკმარისად არ მოძრაობს.”

 

გერი კოუნი

 

 

 

“ვფიქრობ, დიდი ბრძოლაა ხვალ ღამით. ჩვენ ვიცით, რომ Fury ბრუნდება მოტივირებული. თუ უაილდერი ამ უფლების სახლს იპოვის, ის აპირებს ფიურის გამოყვანას. ვფიქრობ, ის აპირებს გარკვეულ მომენტში დაკავშირებას ბრძოლის დროს.

 

 

 

“ვფიქრობ, ტაისონ ფიური დიდი ადამიანია იმისთვის, თუ რამდენადაა იგი დაბრუნებული თავის ცხოვრებაში და დეონტე უაილდერთან მდგომი. ფიურიმ მას დაუძახა, ასე რომ, შესაძლოა მან იცის ისეთი რამ, რაც ჩვენ არ ვიცით.

 

 

 

“ძალიან მოხარული ვარ, რომ აქ ვარ. შეხედეთ ყველა ამ დიდ მძიმეწონოსანს და შესანიშნავ ბიჭებს. ეს განსაკუთრებულია და ისინი ყველანი აქ არიან, რომ ხვალ საღამოს უყურონ ამ ბრძოლას.”

 

ერნის საპარსი

 

 

 

“მე და დეონტეი ორივე ალაბამადან ვართ. მალე ალაბამის სპორტის დიდების დარბაზში შემიყვანენ და დეონტეი ერთ დღესაც იქ იქნება. დეონტეი შესანიშნავი მუშტია და მე მას ხვალ საღამოს ვუყურებ.

 

 

 

“დიდ ეპოქაში ვიბრძოდი. თუ ბიჭები იმავე დონეზე იბრძოლებ, კარგ ჩხუბს მიიღებთ. ამ ბიჭებს დღეს შეეძლოთ ჩვენს დღეში ჩასვლა და კარგი შოუს ჩვენება.”

 

BUSTER DOUGLAS

 

 

 

“ვფიქრობ, ეს კარგი შეჯიბრი იქნება. თუკი უნდა ავირჩიო, მე მერვე რაუნდში ნოოკაუტით წავიყვანდი დეონტე უაილდერს.

 

 

 

“ვგრძნობ, რომ ტაისონ ფიურიმ უკვე გაიმარჯვა ბრძოლის ბრძოლით და შესანიშნავ ფორმაში მოხვედრით და ამ პოზიციაზე ყოფნით. დარწმუნებული ვარ, ბევრს ეგონა, რომ მას აქ აღარავის ნახავდნენ. ეს თავისთავად გამარჯვებაა.

 

 

 

“მაიკ ტაისონზე გამარჯვებამ ჩემი ცხოვრება შესანიშნავად შეცვალა. ახლა უკვე მსოფლიოს მძიმე წონით ჩემპიონი ვიყავი. ჩემი ოცნება ახდა. ჩემი ორი უმცროსი ბავშვის დაბადების დანახვა ერთადერთი იყო, რაც მას შეეძლო.”

 

მაიკლ სპინქსი

 

 

“შეიძლება მეჯვარე გაიმარჯვებს. მე არ ვიცი ვინ არის საუკეთესო ფორმაში, მაგრამ ვფიქრობ, რომ ფიური რინგზე ყოფნას მაიძულებს დეონტე უაილდერისკენ ვიხრები. თუ ფიური პირადად ისეთივე დიდია, როგორც ამბობენ, მას დიდი შანსი აქვს.

 

 

“თუ ქვექვეშა ხარ, თქვენ უბრალოდ უნდა გააგრძელოთ ის, რაც იცით და რაზეც იმუშავეთ. საეჭვოდ ყურადღებას ვერ მიაქცევთ. ყურადღებას ამახვილებთ იმაზე, რისთვისაც თავად მოამზადეთ და ყველაფერს მისცემთ. ყოველთვის ვხედავდი გამარჯვებას. ყველაზე დიდი გრძნობაა, რომ ბეჭედიდან გამარჯვებული გამოდიხარ.”

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday from Westin Bonaventure Hotel & Suites Los Angeles:
JARRETT HURD
Everything that my team and I have spoken about has come to pass. I’m here as the co-main of a massive card and I’m just really appreciative of everyone who believed in me and helped push me to this moment.
Saturday night I want to show my versatility. Everyone has seen that I’m electrifying. I bring the action. But I want to show that I am swift and I do have defense. I know how to use my height and range. I’m still going to bring the action on Saturday, so you have to make sure to tune-in.
We don’t think of Welborn as a tune-up fight. Jason Welborn is a British champion for a reason. We just want to go out there and establish the game plan we worked on in camp.
I want to show my defensive side and show that I can box and move. I want to show that I don’t have to just keep coming forward. I’m going to be able to do that and start to break him down and get him out of there.
Everybody sees my demeanor, and they know that I carry that to the ring. My composure is my biggest attribute. არ აქვს მნიშვნელობა, რას იტყვის, I’m always going to be me.
I’m number one in the division and things are going to play out how I want them. We’ve had three tough camps training for southpaws. When I eventually fight (WBC champion) Jermell Charlo, I’m going to be ready because of all the work on my versatility and defense. I’ll be ready for Jermell Charlo.
I want to be an active champion because I didn’t have a lot of amateur fights. I need to stay in the ring and get all the experience I can. I want to get these good fights in while I’m still young and healthy.
I’m back from my surgery and we’re going to get back to the old Jarrett Hurd. I’m going to show everyone all that I can do. Everyone knows that there’s always going to be action. It’s going to be a wonderful fight on a wonderful card. Don’t blink during this one.
JASON WELBORN
This is a dream come true to be here today. Hurd has worked his way up to get here just like I have. ახლა, he’s in my way. I hope everyone enjoys what I bring to the table on Saturday night.
I have the belief that I’m born and bred for this game and I’m going to show it to the whole world on Saturday night. I always prove people wrong.
The last two years I’ve become the best in Britain and beaten everyone they put in front of me. When people doubt me, I train even harder. I’m coming to win and I’ve got nothing to lose.
I have to get what I deserve and I’ll do it on Saturday night. I’ve already been through the storm. He’s got what I want.
I’ve got to enjoy the fight and get what I want. He can look past me all he wants, but once he feels what I bring to the table, we’ll see how he reacts. I’m ready for whatever he’s going to bring to the table.
LUIS ORTIZ
I want to thank everyone who has helped me get this opportunity. I like to do my talking in the ring, but I’m happy that Travis Kauffman stepped up. A lot of heavyweights haven’t done that and I’m glad we can make this fight happen.
I’m coming to do my job. This is a heavyweight fight and we know that means one punch can change everything. It’s not going to end well for Travis on Saturday night.
“არსებობს 10 rounds to get the job done, and three minutes per round. I’m going to get my job done. The job is to seek and destroy. So I hope that Travis is very prepared to give the fans a great show. Saturday night you’ll see ‘King Kong’ ბეჭედი.
I’ve pushed myself even harder than ever in training camp. We’re sticking with the same game plan of family first and I believe I will be rewarded. My five-year-old boy reminds me that I have a loss and that motivates me to train harder and harder.
I expect Travis to have the great confidence he’s showing. It’s a great chance for him and I’m sure he’ll be motivated. I’m motivated for every fight, because it’s not just about my opponent. My goal is to provide for my family and Travis is in the way. I’ve never deterred from that mentality and it’s got me ready for Saturday night.
TRAVIS KAUFFMAN
I’m thankful to Luis Ortiz for taking this fight. Everybody is afraid to fight him, but I’m not afraid of anyone. We all know that Luis Ortiz can punch, but I don’t care about any of that. It’s my time. I come from a rough background and I won’t back down.
“ეს არის ჩემი დრო. There’s nothing that’s going to stop me from taking this guy down. He’s so worried about Deontay Wilder, but he has to worry about me before he gets any rematch.
You might not know who I am right now, but you will after Saturday night. I’m going to make sure people remember my name.
Luis Ortiz is very skilled, but if you want to be the best you have to fight the best. No one actually wants to step up and take this fight, but I really believe this is my time. I bring some heat in the ring and I come to fight every time.
JOE JOYCE
I’m excited to be on this massive card. I’m going to give the whole world a treat as part of a great event. You have to tune-in and watch me start the show off right on Saturday night.
Training in Big Bear has been a perfect environment for me. It’s in the mountains, it has the altitude and it’s secluded. I’ve seen what goes into their training camps and worked alongside the best in the world. They’ve helped me install the kind of style that will have me at my best.
I have the Olympic pedigree, but now it’s about advancing the brute strength and really getting the perfect snap on my shots.
Sparring against Tyson Fury was really top-level work. I know that it’s made me a better fighter. He’s looking fit and strong and it shows when you’re in the ring with him.
“ეს არის დიდი შესაძლებლობა. Abel Sanchez has done a tremendous job getting me ready for this position. I’m excited to show everyone my skills and everything I’ve learned.
I’m glad that Joe Hanks decided to take this fight. I can’t wait to lace up the gloves and get the party started. I’m going to keep my knockout streak going and I guarantee it’s going to be exciting
JOE HANKS
It’s been a long time coming for this moment. I’m thankful to my team and I’m excited to be on this card with other great heavyweights. It’s a great time to be a heavyweight. I’m ready to put my name in the ring to have the chance to really do something special with a great performance Saturday.
The work has been done. I did everything that I had to do. I’ve done more than I did preparing for my past fights. Being the underdog doesn’t mean much to me. I’m from Newark, New Jersey, and we’re all underdogs there.
I’ve put the time in and I’ve had everyone supporting me and pushing me and I think it’s going to get me over the hump. I’m just really excited to get in there.
STEPHEN Espinoza, President Sports & ღონისძიება პროგრამირების, Showtime Networks Inc.
When we talk about Jarrett Hurd, he’s a fighter who has seemingly come out of nowhere and has had an incredibly rapid rise to the top. He was not a decorated amateur. He has learned on the job. All he has done since beating Oscar Molina in 2016 is impress. He is recognized as one of the bright young stars in boxing. He has been off due to injury and certainly could have taken an easier fight than Jason Welborn, who is a British Commonwealth champion. We’re expecting an action fight there.
Luis Ortiz is one of the top heavyweights in the world. He has one blemish on his otherwise perfect record, a loss to Deontay Wilder. Perhaps Ortiz was just seconds away from victory. We talk about a slim margin in fights, that was the slimmest of margins. I think he is going to be trying to make a statement on the undercard that he deserves a rematch against Deontay Wilder. Standing in his way will be Travis Kauffman. This is another all-action fight filled with big punchers.
In our opening bout, we have one of the most talked-about rising young heavyweights in the sport – ჯო ჯოისი, who is taking on a tough veteran in Joe Hanks. As we know, the heavyweight division has been the focus more in the last six to nine months than we’ve seen in the last couple decades. Joe Joyce is at the top of the list on the potential next wave of future stars. He is certainly not wasting any time taking on a fighter of Joe Hankscaliber.
When you look at the card overall, you’ve got some of the biggest punchers in boxing. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see several knockouts on this card. Don’t miss the action.

Boxing’s Best Heavyweights Past and Present Give Their Thoughts and Predictions On Deontay Wilder vs. Tyson Fury Blockbuster as Fight Week Begins in Los Angeles

შაბათი, დეკემბერი 1 ცოცხალი SHOWTIME PPV® საწყისი
STAPLES ცენტრი & მიერ წარმოდგენილი პრემიერ კრივი ჩემპიონები

LOS ANGELES (ნოემბერი 27, 2018) – As fight week in Los Angles kicks off, heavyweights of the past and present have spoken, and the majority believe Deontay Wilder’s pure punching power will be enough to defeat the highly-skilled Tyson Fury შაბათს, დეკემბერი 1 SHOWTIME PPV- ზე®.

 

 

 

Some of the greatest heavyweight names in the history of boxing weighed-in on what will be the biggest heavyweight title fight in the U.S. since Mike Tyson took on Lennox Lewis in 2002. The SHOWTIME PPV begins at 9 საათამდე. ET / 6 საათზე. PT from STAPLES Center in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

Here is what the current and former heavyweight greats had to say about the Wilder vs. Fury matchup:

 

MIKE TYSON:

 

 

Although Wilder’s punch is strong, nothing can compare to the mental strength Fury has shown both in and out of the ring. It’ll be a close call, but I think Fury’s got a true fighting chance.

 

ევანდერ ჰოლიფილდი:

 

 

“ეს არის დიდი ბრძოლა. Fury’s got a lot of skills, he’s awkward and he has long arms. He has good reflexes and is a strong counter-puncher. Deontay needs to be first and he can’t wait on Tyson. Tyson’s always been the bigger fighter. In fighting Deontay it’s the same case. If things get difficult, ის (Fury) got more experience and a lot of tricks. I think with Deontay’s power, he might be able to end it early, but if Tyson can frustrate him and it goes the distance, then it could go his way.

LENNOX LEWIS:

 

 

If it goes the distance then it belongs to Tyson Fury. If it’s a short fight it will belong to Deontay Wilder. This is an epic and most-unpredictable showdown. I can’t wait for this fight.

GEORGE FOREMAN:

 

 

I am a big fan of Deontay Wilder and I was impressed with Tyson Fury and how he avoided the big shots against Wladimir Klitschko. I can see him going 12 rounds with Wilder because of his height and reach.

 

 

 

The great thing about this fight is that we’re all talking about it. I think Wilder wins a close decision.

 

RIDDICK მშვილდი:

 

 

If Wilder comes out and means business then he should beat Fury with ease. My prediction is Wilder by knockout!”

 

გერი კოუნი:

 

 

“Deontay Wilder vs.. Tyson Fury is a very interesting fight. I love Tyson Fury. I think he’s a remarkable self-promoter, and he did a great job with Wladimir Klitschko, using his feints and throwing Klitschko off his game plan. Deontay is a different kind of fighter, მიუხედავად იმისა, რომ. Fury fights at 30 მილი საათში. Deontay fights at 100 მილი საათში. ასე, when Deontay catches Fury and gets ahold of him I think it’s going to be over. I admire Fury, but I think he’s barking up the wrong tree with this fight. I think the bottom line is that Deontay is a whole different type of beast. He comes in aggressive and finishes his opponents. I hate to pick, but somebody has to lose. I’m picking Deontay by knockout and I think it ends inside of four or five rounds.

 

LUIS ORTIZ

 

 

If Fury decides he wants to dip and dive and move, then he can extend the fight. But it’s all up to Wilder. If Fury decides he wants to come to the middle of the ring and fight, then it’s going to be over quick. Wilder is going to catch him. პროგნოზი: Wilder by KO.

CHRIS Arreola:

 

 

I think Wilder fighting Ortiz and now Fury back-to-back gives the fans exciting fights. I like both Wilder and Fury, but for this fight I am leaning slightly toward Wilder to win.
