LAS VEGAS (Xaneiro 28, 2015) – The return of prizefighting to primetime network television has finally arrived as the recently announced Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) series is set to debut on Saturday, Marzo 7 with an action-packed double main event on NBC, live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

 

The inaugural PBC on NBC fight night will feature two spectacular bouts worthy of this historic occasion. In the second main event of the evening, undefeated welterweight knockout artist Keith “Unha Vez” Thurman (24-0, 21 Kos) will take on former four-division world champion Robert “The Ghost” Guerreiro (32-2-1, 18 Kos) in a showdown where both men look to prove they are amongst the best fighters in the world on the biggest stage in recent boxing history.

 

O primeiro evento principal da noite contará cunha das maiores e máis atractivos estrelas do boxeo, former three-division world champion Adrien “O Problema” Broner (29-1, 22 Kos) facing off against the always exciting John “O Gladiador” Molina Jr. (27-5, 22 Kos) in a super lightweight bout that will put the winner at the top of the division.

Non perda un minuto do PBC en acción NBC como a primeira loita televisado pola NBC comeza no 8:30 p.m. E / 5:30 p.m. PT SHARP!

 

“O equipo e eu estamos moi animado e todos nós estamos ansiosos para a oportunidade de loitar na NBC. Moito do que o meu equipo mantén dicindo é que isto vai cambiar o deporte. Faime lembrar que o meu falecido adestrador Ben Getty adoitaba dicirme, que todo o que eu precisaba facer era estar nun gran escenario,” Dixo Thurman. “Estou realmente ansioso para a atracción principal do primeiro concerto. Estou feliz por estar de volta ao MGM Grand e estou ansioso para un gran KO. Este é o inicio da creación dun nome familiar.”

 

“É moi refrescante saber que a NBC está traendo de volta o boxeo para a televisión en horario nobre,” Dixo Guerrero. “É unha honra formar parte do primeiro concerto, 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, que podo asegurar.”

 

“Esta é a primeira gran parcela de 'AB na NBC.’ Non hai nada que eu non podo facer,” Dixo Broner. “É unha gran loita, non só para os loitadores, pero para os fans. Todo o mundo sabe que eu veño sempre para loitar e sei John Molina Jr. está chegando para loitar. Estou ansioso para deixar Molina na NBC. Eu amo o apoio e calquera que me apoia; Vou loitar por eles. Este é só o inicio do 'AB Mostrar’ en 2015.”

 

“Estou moi animado para formar parte do concerto inaugural na NBC e estar nesta plataforma. Eu non podo esperar para ir alí e facer o que fago mellor diante de millóns de persoas,” dixo Molina Jr. “Quero loitar cos mellores e Broner é un dos mellores. Esta é unha loita que pedimos a máis de un ano, e finalmente chegamos. Estou tan animado. Eu non estou nervioso en todo. Se eu estivese nervioso, Eu non estaría nesta industria. Este é o tipo de cousas que os loitadores reais soñar. Estou contando os días.”

 

O retorno do boxeo ao horario nobre na NBC é case 30 anos na factura, coa última loita como esa noite, que se celebrará en maio 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 televisión nacional era unha casa de toda a vida por algúns dos nomes máis coñecidos na historia do deporte, 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. Alén, legendary boxer Sugar Ray Leonard will serve as lead analyst.

 

“Estou tan animado sobre PBC na NBC. Quedei impresionado cando recibín a chamada, pero inmediatamente eu sabía que eu quería ser unha parte deste,” dixo Leonard. “Iso é o que precisa de boxeo, e iso é o que os fans de boxeo precisa.”

 

Promocións Goossen baseados en Los Angeles vai promover este PBC inaugural no evento NBC.

 

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

en marzo 7, A estrea da 'Premier Boxeo League’ 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 do seu primeiro 19 opoñentes, pero cando gañou o título interino WBA Welterweight Mundial cunha 10th round knockout over Diego Chaves in July of 2013, colocou-se en posición de loitar contra o mellor no deporte. A 26-year-old Clearwater, Florida nativa, desde entón, fixo tres defensas de título exitosas con nocautes máis de Xesús Soto Karass e Julio Díaz, antes dominando Leonard Bundu no seu camiño para unha decisión unánime en decembro 2014. Agora, Thurman parece permanecer invicto cando afronta o seu exame máis difícil ata agora en Guerrero.

 

Un veterano batalla probada, Guerreiro, de Gilroy, Calif., foi un dos loitadores de elite no boxeo por anos. Un boxer-perforado zurdo, Guerrero gañou títulos mundiais en catro categorías de peso a partir de 130 para 147 libras, batendo nomes como Andre Berto, Joel Casamayor, Michael Katsidis e Selçuk Aydin ao longo do camiño. Súa destreza través destas clases de peso lle rendeu unha pelexa con pound-for-pound rei Floyd Mayweather en 2013, que perdeu por decisión unánime. “The Ghost” recuperouse moi ben, en xuño de 2014 cunha vitoria por decisión unánime suada sobre Yoshihiro Kamegai.

 

Unha das estrelas máis coñecidas do boxeo, Broner, a 25-year old Phenom que coleccionou títulos mundiais en 130, 135 e 147 libras, está axustando as súas vistas sobre o perforado perigoso John Molina Jr. en marzo 7. Broner ten prevalecía sobre os gustos de Paulie Malignaggi, Daniel Ponce de Leon e Antonio Demarco no camiño para facer un campión de tres división. A pesar de sufrir a súa primeira derrota para Marcos Maidana en decembro 2013, o Cincinnati-nativa recuperou con back-to-back vitorias sobre Carlos Molina e Emmanuel Taylor.

 

Molina Jr. from Covina, Calif., houbo gran éxito nas filas profesionais, incluíndo unha vitoria por KO impresionante sobre o actual campión mundial Mickey Bey que demostrou que non pode contar o poderoso perforado fora dunha loita. O xogador de 32 anos perdeu unha loita escintilante do candidato Ano para Lucas Matthysse en 2014 e está mirando para comezar 2015 cunha gran vitoria contra Broner.

 

Unha noite chea de ataques undercard emocionantes serán anunciados en breve.

 

PBC na NBC, will take place Saturday, Marzo 7 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas and is promoted by Goossen Promotions. O evento será transmitido en directo na NBC (8:30 p.m. E / 5:30 p.m. PT).

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 Xan. 17 no MGM Grand Garden Arena en 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 e 242 libras. 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: Como dixen, 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: ¿Que pensas do seu adversario, 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? Ten unha previsión?

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 Xan. 17. -. Be there or tune in on TV if you can’t. You don’t want to miss it!
