Moet dit nie misloop 'n minuut van die PBC op NBC aksie as die eerste televisie stryd op NBC begin by 8:30 namiddag. EN / 5:30 namiddag. PT SHARP!

 

“Die span en ek is baie opgewonde en ons sien uit na hierdie geleentheid om te veg op die NBC. Baie van wat my span hou sê, is dat dit gaan om die sport te verander. Dit herinner my dat my oorlede afrigter Ben Getty gebruik om my te vertel, dat alles wat ek nodig het om te doen, was om op 'n groot verhoog,” Said Thurman. “Ek is werklik sien uit na die hemel van die eerste show. Ek is bly om terug te MGM Grand en sien uit na 'n groot uitklophou wees. Dit is die begin van die skep van 'n huishoudelike naam.”

 

“Dit is baie verfrissend om te weet dat die NBC bring boks terug na PrimeTime televisie,” Said Guerrero. “Dit is 'n eer om deel te wees van die eerste show wees, especially against an undefeated champion like Keith Thurman. Everyone knows I always come to fight. Let’s hope Thurman has the same mindset. He claims that he’s going to knock me out, but I see a totally different outcome. When this fight is over, everyone tuning in will know why boxing is one of the most exciting sports to watch, dat ek kan waarborg.”

 

“Dit is die eerste groot paaiement van 'AB op NBC.’ Daar is niks wat ek nie kan doen nie,” Said Broner. “Dit is 'n groot stryd nie net vir die vegters, maar vir die ondersteuners. Almal weet dat ek altyd kom om te veg en ek weet John Molina Jr. kom om te veg. Ek sien uit daarna om te stop Molina op NBC. Ek is lief vir die ondersteuning en almal wat my ondersteun; Ek gaan om te veg vir hulle. Dit is net die begin van die "AB Wys’ in 2015.”

 

“Ek is baie opgewonde om 'n deel van die eerste show op die NBC te wees en op hierdie platform. Ek kan nie wag om daar uit te gaan en te doen wat ek die beste doen in die voorkant van miljoene mense,” gesê Molina Jr. “Ek wil die beste om te veg en Broner is een van die beste. Dit is 'n stryd wat ons oor 'n jaar gelede gevra en ons uiteindelik het dit. Ek is so opgewonde. Ek is nie senuweeagtig te alle. As ek senuweeagtig, Ek sou nie in hierdie bedryf. Dit is die soort van ding wat die werklike vegters droom oor. Ek tel die dae af.”

 

Die terugkeer van die boks te PrimeTime op NBC is byna 30 jaar in wording, met die laaste so 'n stryd nag wat plaasvind Mei 20, 1985. That fight saw Larry Holmes win a 15-round decision and defend his IBF Heavyweight World Championship against Carl Williams in Reno, Nev.

 

Primetime nasionale televisie was 'n lang tyd die huis vir 'n paar van die mees herkenbare name in die geskiedenis van die sport, with fighters such as Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, George Foreman and Mike Tyson making a name for themselves in front of a national audience.

 

The PBC on NBC series will feature a cast of familiar names and voices who will lend their immense talents to the broadcasts. Seven-time Emmy Award winner Al Michaels will host the series while Academy Award winning composer Hans Zimmer will compose the music that brings the series to life. Daarbenewens, legendary boxer Sugar Ray Leonard will serve as lead analyst.

 

“Ek is so opgewonde oor PBC op NBC. Ek was geskok toe ek die oproep, maar dadelik het ek geweet ek wou 'n deel hiervan te wees,” Said Leonard. “Dit is wat boks behoeftes, en dit is wat die boks fans nodig het.”

 

Los Angeles-gebaseerde Goossen promosies sal hierdie eerste PBC op NBC geleentheid bevorder.

 

“It’s an honor to be a part of this extraordinary and highly anticipated event

Maart 7, die debuut van die 'Premier Boxing Champions’ series on NBC,” said Tom Brown of Goossen Promotions. “These are two outstanding fights featuring four world class boxers and fans are in for a terrific night of action.”

 

Thurman has long proven his power by knocking out 18 van sy eerste 19 teenstanders, maar toe hy gewen het die tussentydse WBA Welterweight Wêreld titel met 'n 10ste round knockout over Diego Chaves in July of 2013, Hy het homself in 'n posisie is om die heel beste in die sport te veg. Die 26-jaar-oue Clearwater, Florida moedertaal het sedertdien drie suksesvolle titel verdediging met uitklophoue oor Jesus Soto Karass en Julio Diaz, voor oorheers Leonard Bundu op sy pad na 'n eenparige besluit in Desember 2014. Nou, Thurman lyk onoorwonne te bly wanneer hy sy taaiste toets gesigte tot op datum in Guerrero.

 

A stryd getoets veteraan, Warrior, van Gilroy, Kalifornië., was onder die elite vegters in die boks vir die jaar. A hotklou bokser-slaner, Guerrero het wêreld titels gewen in vier gewig klasse van 130 te 147 pond, klop die hou van Andre Berto, Joel Casamayor, Michael Katsidis en Selcuk Aydin langs die pad. Sy bekwaamheid oor hierdie gewig klasse het hom 'n stryd met pond-vir-pond koning Floyd Mayweather in 2013, wat hy verloor deur 'n eenparige besluit. “Die Gees” terug gestuur mooi in Junie van 2014 met 'n harde geveg eenparige besluit oorwinning oor Yoshihiro Kamegai.

 

Een van boks se mees bekende sterre, Broner, die 25-jarige Phenom wat wêreld titels versamel 130, 135 en 147 pond, is besig om sy visier op die gevaarlike slaner John Molina Jr. Maart 7. Broner het oor die hou van Paulie Malignaggi oorhand, Daniel Ponce de Leon en Antonio DeMarco op die pad om 'n drie-afdeling kampioen. Ten spyte van die lyding van sy eerste verlies Marcos Maidana in Desember 2013, die Cincinnati-moedertaal herstel met rug-aan-rug oorwinnings oor Carlos Molina en Emmanuel Taylor.

 

Molina Jr. from Covina, Kalifornië., het groot sukses in die professionele geledere insluitend 'n indrukwekkende uitklophou oorwinning oor huidige wêreldkampioen Mickey Bey wat bewys jy nooit kan reken die kragtige ponser uit 'n stryd. Die 32-jarige verloor 'n skitterende stryd van die Jaar kandidaat Lucas Matthysse in 2014 en is op soek om te begin af 2015 met 'n groot oorwinning teen Broner.

 

'N Volledige nag van opwindende undercard aanvalle sal binnekort bekend gemaak word.

Skryf 'n opmerking

Read below for what the fighters have to say about how training is going, what their place in heavyweight history is and what the fans can expect to see on Jan. 17 by die MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas:

 

Q: Where have you been training? Who have you been training with? How has training been going?

 

Gold Cup: I am in Vegas training at the Mayweather Gym. I have had many sparring partners, seven total and they have been alternating since it has been a very long camp. I began training camp in August because we didn’t even know when this fight was going to happen so we had to be ready for any time and we did better than ever. It has been a long, long training camp and I am in the best shape I have ever been in.

 

I plan to go in the ring between 238 en 242 pond. We thought about going lower but I am a super heavyweight and that is the weight where I am best.

Deontay Wilder: Camp has been great. It’s been a long hard road but we’re here now. I had my whole team which was excellent — Jay Deas, Mark Breland, Russ Anber, Cuz Hill and my strength coach Peter Khoury, so it couldn’t have been any better.

Q: How do you feel about fighting on the big stage as the main event at the MGM Grand Garden Arena?

 

BS: Fighting at the MGM Grand is a dream come true. I have been dreaming of becoming a champion my whole life. When I think of the MGM I think of all the history and I want to write a new chapter.

DW: I’m super excited about fighting on the big stage. The bigger the better! The more attention and people watching, the more I like it. We’ve been working towards this for a long time, and I am glad we have gotten to this level.

 

Q: If you could meet any heavyweight champ who would it be? Is there a heavyweight that you would say you emulate?

BS: Muhammad – he was the greatest, he called himself “The Greatest” before he even knew he was The Greatest. He worked hard every single day to fulfill it and that is what I do. No corners cut.

DW: I’ve never patterned myself after any other heavyweight, but if I could meet one from the past it would be Joe Louis. He’s part of my nickname. He was the ‘Brown Bomber’ and since I’m from Alabama like he was and I won the Bronze medal at the Olympics, I’m the ‘Bronze Bomber.’

Q: How do you feel about being in the biggest heavyweight title fight in the United States in a decade?

 

BS: The Heavyweight Champion is what it’s all about. It’s the King of the Jungle. It is the Champion of all the Champions. I am happy to bring it back. Boxing is alive and well.

DW: It’s time for the heavyweight division to be important again and I’m the guy to do it, so I can’t wait.

 

Q: Which heavyweights inspired you or did you admire on your climb to this point?

 

BS: Iron Mike Tyson and James Toney – I really admire the way they fought. I loved Iron Mike’s explosiveness and speed and his fast hands. Tyson could hurt you with any punch at any angle and that is my forte. When I hit somebody, I see it in their eyes and their legs and I feel their pain.

DW: My daughter is my inspiration. I always admired guys like Muhammad Ali and Larry Holmes though.

Q: Is there any extra motivation fighting for the WBC title that has been held by so many of the greatest including Muhammad Ali?

BS: The WBC heavyweight belt has been held by many great champions. It’s the biggest prize out there.

DW: A lot of great champions have held the WBC title belt, so it’s the big one and I’m honored and excited to be fighting for it.

 

Q: How important is it for you to represent your home country in this fight? Do you feel any additional pressure because of it?

BS: I am blessed to have been born in Haiti and lived in Quebec, Canada and now Las Vegas and I like to think of myself as an inspiration to kids in Haiti that have suffered so much – just like me. I want them to know that if they work hard they can achieve their dreams.

DW: Soos ek gesê het, I am honored and excited. A lot of greats have held the belt and I am ready to make history and be one of the greats. Representing the U.S. in a heavyweight fight, bringing it back home, it’s an honor.

Q: Wat dink jy van jou teenstander, does anything he does concern you?

BS: I think Wilder is a clown. Wilder thinks this is the WWE. He acts like it’s the WWE. This is for real. It is going to hurt very bad.

DW: I have no thoughts about Bermane Stiverne. I’m just ready to fight and leave it all out in the ring.

Q: What should the fans expect on Jan. 17? Het jy 'n voorspelling?

BS: On Jan. 17 I will hurt Wilder and I will knock him out and it will be a lasting image in peoples’ minds for a very long time.

DW: Fans should expect a great night of boxing and everyone will see Jan. 17. -. Be there or tune in on TV if you can’t. You don’t want to miss it!
