Welterweight Legends, Champions & Utmanare förutsäger Danny Garcia vs. Shawn Porter Welterweight World Title Showdown

Sugar Ray Leonard, Errol Spence Jr., Keith Thurman, Manny Pacquiao & Mer Diskutera lördag, September 8 Matchup Live på SHOWTIME från Barclays Center i Brooklyn & Presenteras av Premier Boxing Champions

BROOKLYN (September 5, 2018) – Tidigaste välterviktsstjärnor, nutid och framtid har vägt in med sina tankar om den efterlängtade matchupen som skapar tidigare välviktmästare Danny Garcia och Shawn Porter mot varandra för den lediga WBC Welterweight World Title Saturday, September 8 i huvudevenemanget live på SHOWTIME från Barclays Center, hemmet till BROOKLYN BOXING ™.

 

 

 

Showtime Championship Boxing telecast börjar vid 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT och har en välviktstitel eliminator mellan Kubas Yordenis Ugás och Argentinas Cesar Barrionuevo och tungviktiga åtgärder som släpper obeslagen polsk slugger Adam Kownacki mot tidigare tungviktmästare Charles Martin.

Grupprabatter finns genom att ringa 844-BKLYN-GP.

 

 

 

Här är vad en grupp nuvarande och tidigare välterviktkämpar hade att säga om Garcia vs. Porter världstitel showdown:

 

Sugar Ray Leonard, Hall of Famer & Tidigare Unified Welterweight World Champion

 

 

 

“Jag känner att Danny Garcia vs. Shawn Porter-kampen har en spännande kamp från vad jag har sett för båda dessa begåvade kämparna. Så här är min förutsägelse baserad på vad jag känner båda kämparna sätter in i ringen

 

 

 

Garcia vinner om han använder sin jab för att hålla Porter i avstånd och utanför balans, men Porter får en seger om han kopplar ihop och skadar Garcia tidigt och får honom att överge sin boxningsförmåga och slåss som en slugger — som jag gjorde med min första kamp mot Roberto Duran.

 

 

 

Så här ser jag denna matchup som borde vara en spännande kamp!”

 

ERROL SPENCE JR., Oslagna världsmästare i Welterweight

 

 

 

“Jag vill definitivt slåss mot vinnaren av Danny Garcia vs. Shawn Porter. Det är en nära kamp. Jag har alltid valt mot Danny Garcia tidigare, och han bevisade mig alltid fel. Shawn Porter är alltid en tuff kamp, eftersom han kommer att komma fram och ge allt. Han försöker i princip rånga dig. Men för denna kamp, det är svårt att gå mot Danny Garcia. Jag väljer Danny Garcia för att vinna ett splittrat beslut.”

 

KEITH THURMAN, WBA Welterweight Världsmästare; Tidigare Unified Champion

 

 

 

“Jag älskar ärligt denna kamp, och jag anser att det är en enorm kamp och en av årets bästa matchups. För mig, efter att ha kämpat båda, Jag tror att var och en är kapabel att skada varandra och få varandra därifrån.

 

 

 

“Jag vet att de flesta fans kommer att luta sig mot Danny Garcia med hans knockout-kraft och potentialen för det. Sedan finns Shawn, som har en anständig stans, även om han fokuserar på sin produktion mer än hans enstans solida slag och har det i sitt arsenal att skada Danny Garcia.

 

 

“Jag skulle inte satsa på att Shawn skulle få utslaget, men jag skulle på Shawn få segern, helt enkelt på grund av hans produktion. Jag tror att Danys enda chans att vinna är genom knockout, men även som spelande man, Jag kan inte lägga mina pengar på att Danny får det. Jag tar Shawn Porter efter beslut.”

 

MANNY PACQUIAO, Flera gånger Welterweight världsmästare

 

 

 

Jag kommer att ge fördelen till Danny Garcia. De är båda skitna kämpar, men jag tror att Garcia är lite mer teknisk med lite mer ringgeneralskap. Det borde vara en stor kamp, och det finns en möjlighet för mig att slåss mot vinnaren, men vi måste se vad som händer.”

 

MIKEY GARCIA, Fyra-divisionsvärldsmästare

 

 

 

“Jag tycker att det här är en mycket bra matchup. Shawn Porter är den typen av idrottare som alltid tar kampen till dig med tryck och volym stansning. De kommer båda för att slåss och de kan båda ta det och diska ut det.

 

 

 

“Danny Garcia kan använda sina färdigheter för att boxas på utsidan och arbeta på avstånd. Jag tror att Danny kommer att kunna boxas lite mer och vinna fler av de snäva omgångarna i en mycket nära kamp. Jag är inte säker på om det kommer att vara ett splittrat beslut eller ett enhälligt beslut. Jag tror att Danny kommer att använda fler av dessa taktiker för att vinna ett spännande beslut.”

 

JORDENIS UGAS, Top Welterweight Contender

 

 

 

“Jag har mycket respekt för Shawn Porter, och jag tror att det kommer att bli en bra kamp men, Danny Garcia har mer teknik och han har också mött och slått bättre motståndare än Porter. Jag lutar mig mot Danny Garcia för att dra segern.

 

ROBERT GUERRERO, Tidigare världsmästare i flera divisioner

 

 

 

“Detta kommer att bli en mycket underhållande kamp för fansen. Jag kan se Danny ta en bra kamp, men Porter kommer att göra kampen grov, och Garcia gillar inte den typen av slagsmål. Jag går med Porter för att vinna med delat beslut.”

 

VICTOR ORTIZ, Tidigare Welterweight världsmästare

 

 

 

“Jag tror att det kommer att bli en fartfylld kamp. Shawn kommer att driva framåt, gör det grovt för Danny, och Danny kommer att försöka kontrollera avståndet. Jag går med Danny, ger honom den lilla fördelen och säger att han vinner genom ett beslut.”

 

JAMAL JAMES, Weltervikt Conte

 

 

 

“Det är bra. Shawn är livligare än Danny, mer aktiv och bär mycket fart när han slåss. Men det är inte alltid bra eftersom Garcia har makten med sin timing, han kanske kan fånga Porter som kommer in. Jag tänker att Shawn Porter drar av den. ”

 

BRANDON RIOS, Tidigare världsmästaren & Welterweight Titel Challenger

 

 

 

“Det är en riktigt tuff kamp att förutsäga. Om Danny kan motverka riktigt bra och hålla Shawn Porter borta från honom medan Porter kommer in, då ser jag Danny stoppa honom.

 

 

 

Men om Shawn Porter kan pressa Danny som han brukar göra, Jag ser inte Shawn Porter stoppa Danny, eller vad som helst, men jag ser honom vinna med splitbeslut om han kan vara i bröstet hela natten. Men om Porter blir spikad med en av dessa vänstra krokar eller en rak höger hand, Jag säger att Porter går ner. Jag ska gå med Danny för att han slog ut mig.”

 

BRYANT PERRELLA, Weltervikt Prospect

 

 

 

“Det kan komma till hur bra Shawn Porter kan ta Danny Garcias slag i en kamp som verkligen är svår att förutsäga, och hur bra Danny kan röra sig, med tanke på att han inte är känd för att ha snabba fötter som liknar en kille som Keith Thurman.

 

 

 

Men om Shawn kan komma nära och kväva Danys slag, han kommer att göra det till en svår kamp. Men Danny har riktigt tunga händer och sitter bra på sina skott, timing och motslagning killar, så Porter kunde spela i sina händer.

 

 

 

Baserat på ren, effektiva hårda skott och ger honom kanten i slutet, tävlingsrundor, Jag lutar mig mot Danny Garcia. Shawn är tuff som naglar, så jag ser att det går avståndet, men bara den lilla kanten till Danny.”

 

SAMMY VASQUEZ JR., Weltervikt Conte

 

 

 

 

Jag går med Shawn Porter. Inte med stopp, men Shawn skapar för mycket press och Danny Garcia kastar inte tillräckligt med stansar och hanterar inte tryck. Du såg det när han kämpade mot Guerrero, som inte såg så illa ut i den kampen.

 

 

 

“Danny kan vinna med knockout om han fångar Shawn med den kroken, men Shawn är en arbetshäst och han utövar mycket mer tryck än jag tror Danny någonsin har sett i en kamp. Shawn kanske inte är mottaglig för det om han inte har rätt huvudrörelse, men jag tror att han kommer att göra det.”

FNU Combat Sports Visa: UFC Fight Night Recap, Pacquiao vs. Matthysse still on, “Big Rig” Retires

Denna vecka på FNU Combat Sports Show, we discuss the latest news in MMA and boxing, recap the past week’s events and preview the upcoming events this week. We also discuss Walter “2 GunsWright winning his main event fight against Mark DeLuca a couple days after we interviewed him last week. Wright’s split decision win came in part due to a persistent jab that frustrated DeLuca and left him bloodied, bruised and exhausted by the final bell. Of course bringing up this fact gets us all going on the absolute necessity of the jab in any combat sports fighter’s toolbox.

Among the news we touch on:

The rumors about Manny Pacquiao’s next fight with Lucas Matthysse being in jeopardy, Manny and his team say everything is on track.

Johny “Big Rig” Hendricks retires (also forgot to mention Rashad Evans retired as well).

 

The latest cast for The Contender Series, set to return this August featuring 16 up and coming young boxers in the 160-pound division.

 

Lyoto Machida’s defection from the UFC to Bellator and Bellator’s blockbuster deal with DAZN, a streaming service working to take over new markets this year, including the US and Italy.

See Pacquiao and Roach quotes below from today’s workout:
MANNY PACQUIAO: We have a really good plan for this fight. We worked hard in training camp both in Manila and in General Santos City. I’m totally focused for this fight. I am not looking past this fight because at this point in my career, every fight is the most important. There are no tomorrows if I don’t win today.
Jeff Horn is OK. I’ve watched video of his fights. He brings a lot of action into the ring.
I know what he is feeling. I remember everything about my first world title fight.
Being a senator and training for a fight is hard. It takes discipline and time management. Luckily, the Senate has been in recess for the past few weeks and I have been able to focus on training for my world title fight.
A Senator’s job is to defend his peopleto fight for their rights.
I know Jeff Horn used to be a teacher. I ringen, I’m a teacher too.
I am ready for Jeff to come out and be aggressive. If he does that it will be a great fight for the fans.
The biggest crowd I ever fought in front of was at Cowboys Stadium against Joshua Clottey. I’m told this could be bigger [51,000+]. I am very excited for doing that, even though they may not be rooting for me. I am also very happy that ESPN will be televising it live.to US. Now everyone can see it. It’s good for boxing.
FREDDIE MÖRT: Manny is a performer. He loves people, loves a big audience. Brisbane has all that for this fight. He’ll be fighting in front of the biggest crowd of his career.
Not everyone gets the opportunity to fight for a world title. It was always my dream but I never fought for one. Det är en stor sak. Jeff Horn earned this opportunity. He is the WBO’s mandatory challenger.
Manny gave me 110% in training camp. He always does. No one works harder in the gym. The difference in this camp from recent ones has been his aggression. He’s scored several knockdowns and I haven’t seen that in years. He has kept his foot on the pedal throughout, even when he’s had a sparring partner in trouble. After his ring work he is singing and dancingnot wellbut that’s not the point. He is really hungry to make a statement in this fight against Horn. He’s even playing Shakira during his workouts again and he hasn’t done that in years.
Lördag night’s Super Channel telecast will also feature two-time Irish Olympian Michael Conlan (2-0, 2 Kos), from Belfast, in a six-round featherweight bout against Jarrett “Juarez” Owen (5-4-3, 2 Kos), of Brisbane.In the 12-round co-feature,International Boxing Federation (IBF) junior bantamweight world champion Jerwin “Pretty Boy” Ancajas (24-1-1, 16 Kos), of Cavite City, Filippinerna, will defend his title against top-rated contender Teiru Kinoshita (25-1-1, 8 Kos), från Kobe, Japan.

No active boxer has sold more live tickets in the U.S. än Pacquiao, som också krediteras med mer än 18 million domestic pay-per-view buys. After his disappointing unanimous decision loss to Floyd Mayweather, Jr. maj 2, 2015, a world championship fight that generated a record 4.5 million pay-per-view buys and more than $400 million in television revenue alone, a healthy Pacquiao (he had suffered a torn rotator cuff in his right shoulder during the fourth round of the Mayweather fight) returned to the winner’s circle on April 9, 2016, winning the rubber match against five-time world champion Bradley.

Well-schooled inside and outside the ring, Horn received his Bachelor of Education degree from Griffith University and taught high school Physical Education even as he embarked on his professional boxing career.
Horn started boxing at age 18 after being picked on by bullies and he has been an advocate of anti-bullying campaigns. Immensely popular throughout Australia, the 29-year-old Horn has become a national gate attraction in his own right.

MICHAEL FARENAS & MARC PAGCALIWANGAN SIGN PROMOTINAL CONTRACTS WITH STAR BOXING

LOS ANGELES, SÅSOM (December 14, 2016)Filipino fighters Michael “Hammer FistFarenas (41-5-4, 33 Kos) och MarcEl GwapoPagcaliwangan (9-0-1, 7 Kos) have signed promotional contracts with Joe DeGuardias Star Boxing. Both fighters, who are managed by SMG och Platina Timing (owned and operated by Germaine Gillies), are scheduled to make their Star Boxing debuts in early 2017.
A former world title contender, Farenas, who started his career as a bantamweight, will now be campaigning at lightweight. Trained by Marvin Somodio at Freddie Roach’s Wild Card gym, Farenas is a stablemate of superstar Manny Pacquiao. Having won his last two fights, the Philippine born fighter has not been in the ring since October of 2015. With his new management team and promoter, his goal is to get back into world title contention with the possibility of fighting for a world title by the end of 2017.
I’m very pleased to be fighting under the Star Boxing banner,” said Michael Farenas. “I want to thank my co-mangers, Bill and Germaine, att tro på mig. I know I have a lot of fight left in me and I know that I’m fighting at lightweight (135 Ibs.). I’m a stronger fighter today and I’m looking forward to a new beginning with my new team in place.
Pagcaliwangan, who is of Philippine decent, but born in Ontario, Kanada, will be campaigning at super-bantamweight. His last fight was in April of 2015, so he too will be looking to stay busy in the upcoming year.
With all my fights, having been fought in Canada, I’m really looking forward to making my USA debut with Star Boxing,” said Marc Pagcaliwangan. “I have a solid management team now so I know I’ll have all the proper support to make my march toward a world title. I plan to relocate to Oxnard, SÅSOM, in the beginning of 2017 and start training with my new coach Robert Garcia. I can’t wait to get back in the in the ring.
SMG is very proud to have two hard hitters, in Farenas and Pagcaliwangan, join our team,” said SMG’s Bill Halkias. “Both fighters possess the power, speed and skills to become world champions.
