LAS VEGAS (Tammikuu 17, 2017) – Voittamaton höyhensarjan maailmanmestari Carl Frampton hosted media at his training camp in Las Vegas Tuesday ahead of his highly anticipated rematch with former three-division world champion Leo Santa Cruz päälläLauantai, Tammikuu 28 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena and live on SHOWTIME.
Televisioitu kattavuus alkaa 10 p.m. JA/7 p.m. PT with undefeated lightweight world champion Dejan Zlaticanin battling former two-division world champion Mikey Garcia.
Frampton was joined by undefeated prospect Josh Taylor; who’s 10-round super lightweight contest is set to be featured as part of bonus coverage on SHOWTIME EXTREME at 8 p.m. JA/PT.
Here is what the participants had to say Tuesday from Porter Hy-Performance Center in Las Vegas:
CARL Frampton
“This camp has been even better than the last one. I had a few problems with my hand during the last training camp but this camp has been brilliant. I’ve been able to put a lot of effort into every session.
“I’m hungry to prove that this wasn’t a fluke. I see some people talking on the internet that I got lucky last time or that Leo would have won with his father in camp the whole time. But I believe there is a lot more to come for me. I’ve been performing better this camp than ever before. I think I win this fight more convincingly.
“I think Leo is a confidence fighter. I think his pride has made him go straight back to the deep end again. He’s always been bigger than his opponents. At both bantamweight and super bantamweight he was bigger. Even though Leo is taller than me, I’m the bigger man. On fight night I’ll be heavier and stronger than him. He’s been able to bully opponents and wear them out, but he can’t do that to me. I think he’s making a big mistake jumping right back in.
“I got drawn in to Leo’s type of fight last time, which made it very exciting. Because of our styles, it’s always going to be a good fight. If it’s two wins to nil for me, I’d rather move on and fight someone like Lee Selby. I just want to be involved in big fights.
“Ilmeisesti, being from where I’m from, fighting in New York was a major appeal, and a lot of guys on the East Coast are attracted to an Irish fighter they haven’t seen before. So I got a lot of new support from the East Coast. We brought a lot of people across with us, myös. se ei ole aina huono asia, to be fighting, topping the bill at the MGM in the fight capital of the world, it’s something I never really thought about when I was a kid or when I turned professional. I never really believed I could get to this. But it’s here, and I’m hoping that it can continue for a long time.
“We’re staying at Robert Guerrero’s training camp house, which is a big thing for me in itself. We drove past the MGM Grand and saw my face on the side. That was pretty surreal in itself. I just can’t wait to soak it up.
“This was a big fight enough in New York, now I think it’s going to be like New York on steroids. I can’t wait to soak up the atmosphere on fight week, can’t wait for all of my fans to get here, I think it’s going to be a real carnival atmosphere and people are going to enjoy it.”
“Fighting Leo Santa Cruz in the United States, a 3-weight world champion who a lot of people thought was going to beat me and beat me comfortably, that was a big deal. That was the real turning point of my career. And I think there’s more to come. Olen 30 Helmikuussa, but I don’t feel any signs of slowing up.
“I genuinely feel like I’m getting better and I think Leo’s going to be in for a tough night here. If I can do what I’ve been doing here in the gym, perform like I’ve been performing in sparring, I’m hurting sparring partners, knocking sparring partners out. I feel like I’m developing, developing into a proper featherweight and I feel like he’s going to be in for a tough night.
“We’ve got a chef in the house that we’re staying at, cooking and preparing our food. We’re training at Shawn Porter’s gym here. It’s a great facility and they’re looking after us, Shawn and (Kenny) Kuluminen. It’s nothing really to deal with apart from the time difference. I reckon it takes a day for every hour of time difference.”
JOSH TAYLOR
“This is the first time I’ve been in Las Vegas and I’m definitely a little star struck by the strip and the big buildings. I’m really have a great time though and it’s a good experience.
“This is a great setup we have here at the gym and I’m getting a lot of good work here. I’ve been sparring with former world champion Shawn Porter and Cuba’s Yordenis Ugas. I couldn’t ask for better work.
“I feel very confident. I’m getting great preparation. It’s not every day you get to spar with guys like this, especially with only seven fights under my belt. I’m feeling really good.”
SHANE McGuigan, Frampton and Taylor’s Trainer
“Training camp has been going really great. Santa Cruz feels like he didn’t have his best performance last time but I don’t think Carl was at his best either. I think we’ll see the same victory this time.
“Carl’s confidence is through the roof. He never lacks in that department. He always rises to the occasion. He performs his best when he’s out there in front of a huge crowd. Leo Santa Cruz is going to bring out the best of Carl Frampton.
“Fighting in Las Vegas is amazing. This is what Carl has been dreaming about since he was a kid. I’ve been dreaming about it too. My father was an amazing fighter but this is a new era of massive crowds coming across the globe. It all starts on Tammikuu 28 and it’s going to be a great time.”
BARRY McGuigan, Frampton n johtaja, Former World Champion and Hall of Famer
“It was definitely Carl’s toughest fight but I think Carl is still getting better. I think Carl will win even more convincingly this time, but it’s going to be a great fight every time they meet because of the clash of styles.
“Carl has knocked out at least two of his sparring partners in preparation for this. He’s looking very strong and he’s working very hard.
“Santa Cruz is talking about using his range, but I think that’s all smokescreens. Once that bell rings he’s going to come straight at Carl and we’ll be in for another great fight.
“We had the option to squeeze in a mandatory defense before the end of last year. But we thought it was best to rest and get this big fight in by the end of January.”

Here is what the participants had to say Tuesday:
LEO SANTA CRUZ
“My dad is my trainer full-time. He’s always been the one who knows how to point out and correct the mistakes I make in training. I think having him full-time will be a big difference. He will push me more.
“I think I have to land more clean punches this time. I’m going to work the body more and break him down. I’m going to sit on my punches a lot better. I couldn’t land my punches clearly and with enough power.
“I’m excited because Las Vegas is like my second hometown. I’ve fought there throughout my career. They give me great support. I know that when I’m tired and hear them scream, it will give me the energy to go the distance.
“I don’t think I had trouble adjusting to fighting on the East Coast. But there aren’t as many Mexican fans over there; so hopefully I will have some more support this time. None of that really matters once we get into the ring though. It’s just me and Carl in there.
“I have the loss in my head. I don’t just want to do it for myself. I want to do it for everyone who has doubted me. Once I prove them wrong and win this fight, then I’ll be proud of myself.
“I’m going to fight like this is for my first world title. I’m going up there as a nobody and I’m going to go make a name for myself. I’m coming with that kind of hunger.
“I’m going to show everyone what I’ve been working on. I want to prove that I’m better than Carl Frampton. If everything works out, we’ll get the victory.
“My fans have kept me motivated and given me the hunger to go out there and reclaim my title. That’s what I want to do. I hope it’s another Fight of the Year, but this time I will get the victory.
“I feel stronger since the last fight and I’ve been preparing for everything. We’re sparring some bigger guys just to keep me prepared. We have strong, fast and heavy opponents. Carl Frampton won’t have anything we aren’t ready for.”
JÄTÄ ZLATICANIN
“If Garcia tries to go toe-to-toe or stay in the center of the ring, I will knock him out. If he tries to jab and move, then I will have to find my way to his head and break him down.
“Harjoitusleiri on menossa suuri. I feel very good. I can’t wait to get in the ring and perform. I’m proud to be on a show like this against a star like Mikey Garcia.
“It is a big deal to be the first boxing champion from Montenegro. I’ve lived the dream that I’ve had since I was a child and first stepped into a boxing gym.
“I’m not worried about Garcia’s layoff. That is something he has to worry about. I just have to focus on Tammikuu 28. I believe that I will be victorious.
“All of the fans are going to enjoy this fight and they will see me successfully defend my world title.
“I feel great training out here in Los Angeles. It’s totally different from in Europe and this style of working and training has really helped me.
“I change my style for every fighter. Each fighter is totally different and you can’t fight any two guys the same way. You have to adjust.
“A champion needs to fight everyone. That’s what I believe. There are some champions right now who do not want to face me.
“Mikey Garcia is already talking about fights with Manny Pacquiao and Vasyl Lomachenko, but he hasn’t gotten past me. He has a big test in the ring and I am going to stop him.
“I am very motivated by Garcia talking about future fights. I will show everybody that the talk means nothing. They will see everything in the ring.”
MIKEY GARCIA
“I’m picking up right where I left off. My second fight back and I get to fight against an undefeated world champion. The quality of Zlaticanin means a lot more to me than picking up a world title. I’m super motivated for this win and to make this a great year.
“Tämä on iso tilaisuus minulle. It’s a very dangerous fight. That’s why I took it. These are the kind of challenges that I want. I’m ready to prove to everybody that I’m back right where I belong.
“I’m not overlooking Zlaticanin, but everybody else seems to be. People ask me about what I’d want for future fights, but I know how dangerous this guy is. Anything could happen. But I know that I have what it takes to beat him. Hänellä on valta, but I also have power. The best man is going to win that night.
“Becoming an undefeated world champion like my opponent doesn’t come easy. It happens for a reason. He may be not as known to the casual fan, but anybody can tell you how dangerous he is. Some people think it’s a little too much for me right now. But I’m ready to prove everybody wrong and take on this challenge.
“I have to prepare for anything. I’m not there to dictate pace or anything, I’m there to make sure I win at all costs. I’m ready to fight any style and beat Dejan on Tammikuu 28. This is a great way to get back in the position I want to be in.
“I expect him to come in and try to knock my head off. He’s a power puncher and that’s what he does. If he wants to pressure me, I’ll be ready for that.
“I never felt like I left. I was inactive from fighting but I never stopped training. The intensity is fully picked up right now. This is my job and this is what I need to do to win this fight.
“I’m ready to turn up the notch and focus in on having a great training camp. I have a great team and we’ve had quality sparring. It’s been a fantastic camp.
“You have all of the elements here for a great fight. My opponent is hungry, he’s ready and undefeated. I’m more motivated than ever. So you know it’s going to be a great fight.”
RICHARD SCHAEFER, Puheenjohtaja & Toimitusjohtaja Ringstar Urheilu
“The first fight between Santa Cruz and Frampton was, minun mielestäni, the Fight of the Year. We have two other world title fights on this card and top to bottom it’s one of the best cards I can remember. I’m going to make sure I’m in my seat early.
“Mikey Garcia has the potential to become the biggest superstar in the sport. He has a great personality and can really fight. All the ingredients are there. Here he has a very tough fight though. Zlaticanin is the ‘King Kong’ Montenegron. He’s a dangerous puncher and it’s going to be a great fight.
“It’s a great card but if I had to pick one fight to steal the show, it would Zlaticanin vs. Garcia. That is going to be a spectacular knockout, tavalla tai toisella.
“The main event is as good as it gets. It’s going to pick up in round 13. Leo knows that he has to make adjustments. He knows he wasn’t at his best the first time. He was out of his comfort zone and had distractions. If Leo is properly prepared physically and mentally, then he should come out victorious.
“Leo knew as soon as the results were read that he wanted the rematch. That’s the kind of mindset he has. He knows that he’s a better fighter than he showed in July. He knows what he needs to do.
“By becoming Fighter of the Year, and everything that comes with it, Frampton is flying high. This is a guy who is now a pound-for-pound great fighter. He worked all his life for that spot and he doesn’t want to give it up. For the UK fighters, fighting in Las Vegas is the pinnacle of the sport. I think there will be a lot of Irish people there and I just can’t wait for the first bell to ring.”
JOSE SANTA CRUZ, Santa Cruz Father & Kouluttaja
“Tunnen todella hyvältä. My cancer is dormant right now and I feel like I’m recuperating and getting back to my normal self. I’m making sure that everything is fine and I’m doing well with the doctors. Right now everything on the health forefront is good.
“I am happy to be part of Leo’s training camp again. I think that was the major difference in his last fight. I’m back pressuring him again and making sure he keeps the pressure on his opponent. I think my presence in the gym reminds him of the work he needs to do.
“Leo wasn’t defending the way that he should have in the last fight, he kept throwing punches without blocking. He was throwing sluggish, slow punches. I’m getting him back on point and making sure that he doesn’t let up.”
ROBERT GARCIA, Garcia’s Brother & Kouluttaja
“Dejan Zlaticanin is a very strong fighter, not only physically, but mentally. We’re training like never before. We’ve been training hard for two months and preparing for a really tough fight. This fight is a big fight and it brings even bigger ones after.
“Mikey wants these big challenges. Zlaticanin is a polished champion with tremendous power. The challenge is ahead of him. There are so many big names at lightweight and other weight classes. His goals are to get there, and it starts with this fight.
“It’s been a few years since Mikey’s last fight in Las Vegas so it’s really exciting to be on the card headlined by Frampton-Santa Cruz 2. We know it’s going to be a huge crowd and they’ll be supporting Mikey. Lisää, with all the Frampton fans that will be there, we know that it’s going to be an incredible atmosphere. Mikey knows this is the beginning of huge things. After this, Mikey will be the one headlining.”

You can see the difference in how I reacted at the end of both fights. I knew I was a better fighter than Quigg, but the Santa Cruz victory was the one I got more pleasure from.”
Frampton’s fight against Los Angeles power puncher Santa Cruz also earned honorable mention for Fight of the Year from ESPN ja USA Today.

The multitude of year-end honors has continued to build excitement around what will undoubtedly be another action-packed display of grit, skill and action later this month in Las Vegas.

After the Belfast press conference, the fighters and their teams flew to the U.S. to meet with the media at an open to the public event at the outdoor plaza at the Los Angeles Central Public Library.

 

Here is what the participants had to say at the two events:

 

CARL Frampton

 

From Los Angeles:

“This rematch with Leo Santa Cruz is going to be an amazing one. The first one was considered a ‘Fight of the Year’ and I don’t think this can be any different. We’re going to kick-off 2017 rytinällä.

 

“Leo is an amazing fighter and I want to thank him for giving me the chance to fight for his title in July. I was more than happy to give him the rematch straight away. These are the types of fights I want to be involved in.

 

“I thought I won the first fight. I don’t think it was controversial at all. I think I won the fight by three or four rounds. They were definitely close, kilpailukierrokset, but I think I was doing more to win rounds and get the nod. This one is going to be more of the same.

 

“Las Vegas is obviously a bit closer to home for Leo and I’m sure he’ll bring a lot of fans. But I’m bringing at least 4,000 from the UK. Right now I’m the most well-supported fighter in the UK. It’s a great privilege for me.

 

“When I fight people, I feel like I improve the second time. I have a good boxing brain and I can adapt to different situations. The only person I’ve fought twice as a pro was Kiko Martinez and the second time I fought him I won comfortably. Because I learned from the first fight. I know everything about Leo. He fights the same way every single time.

 

“I think our styles just gel really well together. You can expect a great night with a really huge undercard from start to finish.

 

“I know his training may not have been as focused last time as it could have been because of his father. I expect a better Leo Santa Cruz. But in terms of how he fights, I think he’ll fight the same way. It’s a good way to fight and it’s gotten him far. He usually wears people down, but I have serious punching power and that again could be the difference.

 

“If you want people to remember you in 20 tai 30 years’ time, you need to fight guys like Leo Santa Cruz. We’ve already been working very hard in the gym and we’re going to do whatever it takes to make sure I remain the champion and bring the title back home to Ireland.”

 

From Belfast:

 

“It’s always good to be here in Belfast and see the people. It’s good for them to see great fighters like Leo Santa Cruz in their hometown.

 

“This is going to be a dream come true. It won’t all sink in until I’m out there and ready to perform. Las Vegas is the mecca of boxing. It’s where all the big names go. I’m expecting a big support base from all over the UK and Ireland on Tammikuu 28.

 

“I feel like no matter who I fight, I always get better the second time. I have a good boxing brain and I can adapt to my opponent’s style and use it to my advantage. If you’ve seen me in sparring, if I have a dodgy performance, you know I will get better the second time.

 

“I know how Leo fights, and he knows how I fight. But I can adapt and make changes. I can be a bit more clever than I was last time. I got dragged into the fight more than I wanted to.

 

“Headlining in New York against a great fighter like Leo Santa Cruz was a dream come true. Now I have the opportunity to go to Las Vegas, where Leo has fought a few times. It’ll be his first time in the main event there as well and I’m just excited to get out there and feel the buzz of fight week.

 

“I think this fight could be even better. I gave him his first loss and I’m sure he’s going to come looking for his revenge. But I’m training very hard. I’m in good shape for this point in camp.

 

“There’s no doubt that Leo went through a difficult time with his father’s illness. I also know that Leo trained very hard anyway. He threw about a thousand punches last fight and was throwing all the way to the end. You can’t throw much more than that so I don’t think he’s going to improve his work rate.

 

“I believe he’ll come up with a different game plan but I genuinely believe that I’ll be able to deal with anything he brings to the ring. Se ei tule olemaan helppoa taistella, but I’ll do whatever it takes to win and I believe I will.

 

“Leo Santa Cruz is a tough fighter with a solid chin. But I believe that if I hit any featherweight, or super featherweight, with a clean shot, that I can knock them out. If I’m a little bit cleaner, then I could knock him out. But I’ll be prepared to go a hard 12 kierrosta.

 

“I believe if I use my brain a little bit more in this one, and don’t get dragged into his fight, that I can win it more convincingly. But there will be times in this fight where I’ll just have to bite down and fight for my life.

 

“I’m prepared for anything. I’m ready to keep this title in Belfast and then I’m going to return here for a show in Belfast in the summer.”

 

LEO SANTA CRUZ

 

From Los Angeles:

“Carl Frampton is a great fighter. He has the respect of the fans because he has proven that he’s a great champion. I know it’s going to be another very close and exciting fight.

 

“We both train really hard for our families and for the fans. We want to give you all a great show. I know that this rematch is going to be very tough.

 

“I learned from the first fight that every little mistake really matters. One or two could really cost you. I trained hard but without my dad he wasn’t pressuring me like I’m used to. Those things come back to haunt you. It hurt, but it taught me that I have to leave it all in the ring and work every day for what I want.

 

“We’re going to be mentally and physically ready. I’m getting more motivation from having him there. We’ll be making some little changes and we’re going to do a lot better.

 

“I’m motivated to get my belt back. I was a champion and now I’m a former champion. That makes me unhappy. We’re going to train hard and do our best to become a champion again.

 

“We’re going to go to the gym and train hard to make this fight even better than the first one.”

 

From Belfast:

 

“This is a very nice city and when I knew there would be a rematch, I wanted to come to Belfast. This is the first time I’ve been to Europe.

 

“It was a very hard fight and right after it was over, the first thing that came to my head was a rematch.

 

“Las Vegas is a lot closer to my hometown and I feel very comfortable fighting there. Carl Frampton has a lot of fans though, and they’re going to fly over to Vegas. I think it will be a pretty even crowd and I don’t see it as an advantage for anyone.

 

“It was a pretty close fight the first time. When you’re in the ring you’re only worried about fighting. It could have gone either way. I thought being the champion, that it should have gone my way. But I won’t take anything away from Frampton. We’re looking to the future and beating him in the rematch.

 

“The fans here have made me feel very welcome since the first fight. I feel comfortable here. I’m excited to be here in Belfast with these great fans.

 

“I was disappointed but it was a very close fight the first time. He had the bigger crowd and the Irish people would scream for everything he did. It was a really good close fight though. I really think it could have gone either way.

 

“Carl Frampton is a great fighter and I knew it would be a tough fight. I didn’t get to train for that fight like I was supposed to. My father was going through cancer treatment so I wasn’t 100 percent in the training. I was thinking about my dad’s health and he was only really there for the last three weeks of camp. We’re going to have a great game plan and it’s going to be another tough fight, but we’re looking to get the victory.

 

“If you watched the first fight you know that it was a great fight. The second one is going to be even better. I took my first defeat. Hän on hyvä nyrkkeilijä, but I want to win this rematch. If I win the rematch, I’m fine bringing the third fight of the trilogy to Belfast.”

 

JÄTÄ ZLATICANIN

 

“Everyone thinks that Garcia is a pound-for-pound star but I want to tell everyone that I’m going to win this fight.

 

“Everything in preparations has been going great. Tulen 100% ready on Tammikuu 28. This is the fight of my life. I have to be ready and we’re right on track.

 

“I always respected fighters like Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. or a fighter like Mike Tyson because whoever they were supposed to fight they fought. I’m the same way, an old school fighter who’s willing to fight anybody.

 

“I came up the hard way, and sometimes I thought I might never get this opportunity. I’ve been in some really tough fights where people gave me no chance to win, but now I’m a world champion.

 

“To be the first world champion from Montenegro is historic. I think it’s made me a national hero in the country and I’m honored. The people in my country love me and I love them back.

 

“When I beat Mikey Garcia that will make me an even bigger star. I think Mikey is a good puncher, and he has good timing, but I can hit him easily and I’m planning to knock him out.”

 

“Mikey will have a big opponent in front of him. He needs to run around the ring because I’m going to come for him. You will see me defend my title and you will enjoy it.”

 

MIKEY GARCIA

 

“I’m thankful to everyone who came out. I was down for over two years, but it seems like no one has forgotten about me. We’re looking for big things. I want to pick up right where I left off.

 

“I’m really happy to have been given this opportunity to claim a world title in a third division. This is going to be an amazing fight. He’s a hungry world champion. He’s very dangerous. These are the kind of fights that I want. This is what I need to prove myself.

 

“This is only the beginning. This is going to be a huge year for me. I want to win multiple titles and maybe conquer multiple divisions this year.

 

“I haven’t fought in Vegas since 2012 but I expect the fans to be out there supporting. This is a big stage and a night of great fights. This is a great opportunity to become a world champion in another weight class.

 

“I’ve known Leo Santa Cruz since the amateur days. We get to share the stage again on Heinäkuu 30 and I’m looking forward to another good shot. I can’t ask for anything more.

 

“My brother and my dad watch more film than I do. I only like to watch a couple rounds of my opponent. So I’ve seen what Dejan has. During the fight I’ll listen to my corner and make adjustments. Hän on nuori, undefeated champion for a reason. I want him to be at his best because that will bring out my A-game.

 

“My body feels really good right now. I think this is going to be a great division for me. I don’t think the weight will affect me in any way.

 

“This is going to be a great show. I’m going to give everything that the fans want to see. I’m sure my opponent will do the same. I want to take on the biggest challenges and I’m ready to make those fights happen. I want to give the fans the fights they want. The best of my career is yet to come.”

 

BARRY McGuigan, Frampton n johtaja, Entinen maailmanmestari & Hall of Fame

 

From Los Angeles:

 

“It’s great to be here in Los Angeles for such a great occasion. Dejan, Mikey, Leo and Carl are all incredible fighters and it really is going to be a magnificent show.

 

“These are two amazing fighters. If they fought every day of the week, and twice sunnuntaina, every single fight would be close. I just think that Carl has the edge in innate boxing intelligence. He is more versatile and a naturally bigger guy than Leo. We have to get him into the best shape of his life.

 

“Carl is going to have to turn it up on fight night and we know that Leo will turn it up as well. He’ll put the pressure on him. I believe it will be at least as good of a fight as last time.

 

“We’re going to have a fabulous night on Tammikuu 28 and I have to say it again, we will be winning.”

 

From Belfast:

 

“You boxing fans here in Belfast are the best supporters in the world, we have no doubt about it, and we’re going to go to Las Vegas to make sure we win again and win more convincingly.”

 

RICHARD SCHAEFER, Puheenjohtaja & Toimitusjohtaja Ringstar Urheilu

 

From Los Angeles:

 

“When you mix these two together, you know it has to be another ‘Fight of the Year’ candidate. These two guys could fight 10 times and every time it would be a ‘Fight of the Year’, and probably a very close decision. These are our modern day gladiators.

 

“These are exciting matchups where you really don’t know who’s going to win. This is what the fans like to see. These are closely matched fights, for the fans. That is exactly what you will see on Tammikuu 28.

 

“Dejan vs. Mikey is the most significant matchup in the lightweight division. There is no question about it. It’s an extremely dangerous fight. It’s playing with fire for Mikey. I can pretty much assure you that this fight will end in a knockout. This is easily a main event on its own.

 

“I believe that Mikey Garcia is one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world. But to get there and to stay there, you have to face fighters like Dejan. This just shows what Mikey is made of.

 

From Belfast:

 

“I was fortunate to promote many of Ricky Hatton and Floyd Mayweather’s fights, but whenever I am here, I can feel the passion that you fans here bring to the sport. You elevate these fighters to do better. At Barclays Center we saw you there cheering on your guy.

 

“Tickets are available as low as fifty dollars. I don’t think that’s a bad idea in January, to go from cold Ireland to warm Las Vegas. There are many reasons to go out there, but this fight is the biggest reason to go.

 

“It’s a rematch of the ‘Fight of the Year’ and I’m very proud to be able to promote this fight together along with Barry McGuigan. I thank all of the fans here again for the passion you bring to the sport of boxing.”

 

SHANE McGuigan, Frampton n Trainer

 

From Los Angeles:

 

“These are two really good fighters. As Richard said, this would be a great fight 10 times out of 10. Leo had a lot of distractions in training camp with his father’s health and I think he will be a better fight the second time.

 

“That was Carl Frampton’s first time fighting at 126-pounds, so he had a lot of new experiences leading up to the last fight. They both learned in the first fight and I think they will both be able to give a little bit more the second time. The fans will be the ones to enjoy the action.

 

“Training camp has been going great.

 

From Belfast:

 

“I don’t know who was lucky enough to see the first fight between these two, but it was really a great one. Carl got dragged into Leo’s fight at times, but with that came excitement.

 

“I think this fight we’re going to win a lot more convincingly, cement the win and then move on. I’m extremely excited about it.

 

“To see how far Carl has come is phenomenal. I hope people will buy a ticket and come out to support. He needs that support and I hope to see you all out there.”

 

ALEX VAYSFELD, Zlaticanin’s Manager

 

“It was a very hard uphill road for Dejan to get where he was going. He had to fight a lot of different places and fight people that he wasn’t supposed to beat, in other people’s minds. But he won.

 

“Dejan knows how to be an underdog and he knows how to calm a favorite. I guarantee you that Dejan knows every aspect of Garcia’s game. When he steps into that ring, you will all see something amazing.

 

“Mikey is going to bring his best, Dejan is going to bring his best and of the fans are going to be in for an amazing fight.”

 

ROBERT GARCIA, Miken veli & Kouluttaja

 

“I consider Leo Santa Cruz a great fighter and a friend. Carl Frampton is another great fighter and it’s fantastic to be part of a card with such a big main event.

 

“This was a very easy fight to make. Mikey said yes right away. He wanted to fight for a title and he got it. Mikey isn’t going to hold back. He wants to keep moving up and challenging big names. He wants to be remembered as one of the best fighters in the world. Mikey wants to give the fans the best fights out there.

 

“I don’t have any second thoughts about this fight because I believe in Mikey. We’re preparing to become the lightweight champion of the world.

 

“Mikey is training hard. He’s going to be ready on Tammikuu 28 and prepared to give everybody a great fight.”

 

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Executive VP & Toimitusjohtaja, Showtime Urheilu

 

“SHOWTIME has without question delivered the strongest lineup of any network in boxing. We are looking for the best fighters fighting the best. Top tier fighters against top tier fighters. This is what we have here today.

 

“Our main event has Carl Frampton, who for my money is the 2016 ‘Fighter of the Year.’ He defeated two undefeated world champions to unify 122-pounds and pick up a title at 126-pounds. There is no fighter who has done what he has in 2016.

 

“Leo Santa Cruz is a three-division world champion. He’s always entertaining. His Abner Mares was the ‘Fight of the Year’ in 2015 and his fight this year with Carl was my ‘2016 Fight of the Year.’ I think his fight on Tammikuu 28 will be another one.

 

“The co-main event is really worthy of being a main event of its own. For those of you who don’t know Dejan Zlaticanin, he’s a fighter that nobody wants to fight. He’s one of the most avoided fighters in the lightweight division. He’s a power puncher who’s very aggressive. No one except Mikey Garcia. He’s looking for a world title in a third division and he’s no doubt a top 10 pound-for-pound taistelija maailmassa. These guys were so anxious to fight that we put it on the card on Tammikuu 28 and the fans get a real treat.

 

“We have four top tier fighters. This is the best in the sport, coming together on one card. As Richard suggested, the combined record of these fighters is 112 voittoa ja 1 menetys. These are four of the most skilled fighters in the sport. It’s a special night. You shouldn’t miss it.”

LAS VEGAS (Marraskuu 23, 2016) – Undefeated featherweight world champion Carl "The Jackal" Frampton (23-0, 14 KOs) ja entinen kolmen divisioonan maailmanmestari Leo “El Terremoto” Santa Cruz(32-1-1, 18 KOs) will meet again in a world title rematch that headlines a Premier Boxing Champions tapahtuma Lauantai, Tammikuu. 28 live on SHOWTIME from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Frampton and Santa Cruz are set to clash in a rematch of their July “Fight of the Year” candidate that saw tremendous back-and-forth action throughout the 12-round fight that ended in a majority decision for the Irish fighter. Frampton drew significant Irish support in Brooklyn and will now bring his legion of fans to Las Vegas for the first time in an arena where Santa Cruz has fought six times. Just a few hours from Santa Cruz’s home of Los Angeles, the electric atmosphere is sure to be buoyed by two men who combined to land 402 power shots out of the 497 punches landed in their first fight.

 

To kick off the promotion, Frampton and Santa Cruz will be holding open-to-the-public press conferences in Belfast, Pohjois-Irlanti päällä Tiistai, Marraskuu. 29 ja vuonna Los Angeles päällä Torstai, Joulukuu. 1 with more details to be announced shortly.

 

“The rematch is the fight we wanted,"Sanoi Frampton. “I enjoyed our first fight in New York. The atmosphere was fantastic and the fight lived up to the hype. Päällä January 28th I will be better and I will win more convincingly. I know the way Leo fights, he throws a lot of punches and he is brave, but his style suits me. It has always been a dream of mine to headline in Las Vegas and I cannot wait to get out there and put on a great performance for the American boxing fans and the travelling support from Ireland and the UK.”

 

“From the moment our last fight ended, when the decision came and I lost the fight, I knew my only goal was to get my belt back,” said Santa Cruz. “When I sat in the locker room afterward, I felt more motivated than ever to get back in the gym. All I’ve thought about since the fight was this rematch. There won’t be any distractions in this camp. I’ll be heading into the fight with a better game plan. I’m putting in 100 percent in training and I’m excited to get in the ring on January 28 to get my belt back.”

 

“This is the most important fight of my career,” said Zlaticanin. “I expect a tough and ruthless fight. I know how good Mikey Garcia is, but I also know how good I am. The fight is not going to reach the final bell; one of us will be knocked out, and I believe it will be Mikey. Garcia has never fought a good and strong fighter like me before. He will feel my power on Tammikuu 28.”

 

“I’m very happy and excited for my upcoming fight,”Sanoi Garcia. “This is a chance to claim a third world title in my third division. Zlaticanin is tough, strong and dangerous but I feel confident in my abilities. I’m planning on giving the fans in Las Vegas a great show. 2017 will be a great year for me and it all starts Tammikuu 28!"

 

“Frampton-Santa Cruz II is truly the best that boxing has to offer, an immediate rematch of a leading Fight of the Year candidate between the two top-rated fighters in the division,", Sanoi Stephen Espinoza, Varatoimitusjohtaja & Toimitusjohtaja, Showtime Urheilu. “And Zlaticanin vs. Garcia is a ‘50/50’ fight between two undefeated champions and a main event in its own right. The Tammikuu. 28 telecast is the cornerstone of four upcoming SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING presentations that feature the best matchups in boxing’s deepest divisions. Events like this one are proof that SHOWTIME delivers the strongest boxing line up of any network in the sport today.”

“I am looking forward to a terrific event in Las Vegas,” said Barry McGuigan of Cyclone Promotions, a former world champion and Hall of Famer. “The first fight between Carl Frampton and Leo Santa Cruz was sensational and I truly believe that the rematch will be even better. I’m convinced that Carl will win the rematch more convincingly and beating someone like Leo Santa Cruz a second time will define Carl as true great of Irish boxing. I know everyone at Cyclone Promotions is proud to deliver a great night of boxing at MGM Grand where there will be a full action packed card of championship fights.”

Frampton and Santa Cruz put on a memorable performance in July and battled from the opening bell. It was Frampton who took home the belt last time, but I expect that Leo will train to be 100 percent and do everything in his power to get his title back. I believe this could be an even better fight than the first one. We also have Mikey Garcia, who shook off the ring rust in July and will challenge the most dangerous lightweight champion in the world, Dejan Zlaticanin, yhteistuotantoa päätapahtuma. This is a fight that looks destined to end by knockout. The perfect stage for this great night of action is the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas and I anticipate a huge crowd on hand to support these outstanding fighters.”

A hard-hitting southpaw, Zlaticanin also has victories over Ricky Burns and Petr Petrov.

BROOKLYN (Heinäkuu 31, 2016) – Mahdollisessa "Vuoden taistelussa" kahden voittamattoman taistelijan välienselvittelyssä, Carl Frampton reunattu Leo Santa Cruz tulitaistelussa voittaakseen WBA:n höyhensarjan maailmanmestaruuden SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXINGin päätapahtumassa® Lauantai edessä 9,062 faneja sähköisessä Barclays Centerissä Brooklynissa.

 

Frampton (23-0, 14 KOs), entinen yhdistetty superbantamisarjan mestari, joka siirtyi luokkaan 126 puntaa haastaakseen Santa Cruzin (32-1-1, 18 KOs), hänestä tuli ensimmäinen Pohjois-Irlannin kotoisin oleva kahden divisioonan maailmanmestari.

 

Enemmistön päätös, sijoitettiin 114-114 piirtää, 116-112 ja 117-111, Taisteltiin alusta alkaen kiihkeästi.

 

Santa Cruzin tunnusmerkki on aina ollut hänen korkeaoktaaninen teho ja lävistys, mutta kolmen divisioonan maailmanmestari ei kyennyt hyödyntämään ulottuvuusetuaan, ja hänen aktiivisuutensa eliminoitiin Framptonin valtavilla vastalyönnillä ja voimalaukauksilla. Vaikka molemmat taistelijat ovat huippuja 10 maailmassa töissä, järkyttävää 402 heidän 497 yhdistetyt lasketut lyönnit olivat voimalaukauksia.

 

Vaikka Santa Cruz laskeutui lähes yhtä paljon voimalaukauksia - 206 vs. 191 - 46 prosentti, johon Frampton liitti, näytti laskeutuvan puhtaammaksi ja aiheuttavan enemmän vahinkoa. Ja vaikka Santa Cruz oli pidempi taistelija, hän syöksyi eteenpäin ja taisteli lyhyesti sisäpuolella, antaa Framptonille mahdollisuuden minimoida ulottuvuuden ja kilpailla varpaista varpaisiin, missä se hänelle parhaiten sopisi.

 

"Se on unelmien täyttymys,"Sanoi Frampton. – Minulla oli unelma voittaa maailmanmestaruus ja voitin sen, mutta en koskaan uskonut voittavani kahdessa divisioonassa. Se oli kova taistelu, Halusin sen olevan kova taistelu, koska halusin taistelun, jonka ihmiset voisivat muistaa. Kunnioitan häntä paljon. Hän oli todellinen soturi.

 

– Minulla oli hyvä pelisuunnitelma. Shane oli uskomaton valmentaja. Hän sanoi minulle joka kerta kun palasin nurkkaan, että voimme voittaa tämän paljon helpommin. Mutta voitin sen sydämelläni, ei päälläni ja nostin käteni ylös.

 

”Etäisyyden hallinta ja kova lyöminen olivat avaimia. Voitin taistelun, koska en menettänyt hallintaani. Ansain hänen kunnioituksensa taistelun alussa etäisyyden hallinnan ja kovan lyönnin ansiosta. Haluaisin viedä tämän miehen Belfastiin uusintaotteluun ja näyttää siellä oleville ihmisille, kuinka loistava taistelija hän on.

 

Kutsuttaessa esiin muut mestarit klo 126 puntaa – mukaan lukien IBF-mestari Lee Selby ja WBC-mestari Gary Russell Jr, jotka olivat molemmat paikalla - Frampton sanoi: "Haluan ison, ikimuistoisia taisteluita." Napsauta TÄSTÄ Framptonin koko taistelun jälkeiseen haastatteluun.

 

Santa Cruz, joka nappasi vyöt 118, 122 ja 126 kiloa, oli eri mieltä päätöksestä, mutta yhtyi Framptonin toiveeseen uusintaottelusta.

 

– Se oli kova taistelu alusta alkaen,"Santa Cruz sanoi. – Tiesimme, että siitä tulee kova taistelu, mutta luulin sen olevan lähellä, kun olin siellä heittämässä. Ehkä tuomarit kuuntelivat yleisöä ja ajattelivat, että jokainen pieni lyönti teki maalin.

 

"Hänellä on vaikea tyyli, mutta tiedämme hänen tyylinsä ja saamme hänet uusintaotteluun. Yleisö hurrasi, ja luulen, että tuomarit näkivät sen. Ehkä, ilman sitä, meillä olisi ollut tasapeli tai ehkä päätös.

 

"Ensimmäistä tappiota on vaikea saada, mutta nyt mennään takaisin kuntosalille, saamme uusintaottelun ja voitamme. Eikä se menetys merkitse mitään. Haluan pelata uusintaottelun Los Angelesissa, mutta menen myös Belfastiin."

 

Voittamaton entinen kahden divisioonan maailmanmestari Mikey Garcia palasi kehään vaikuttavalla tavalla kahden ja puolen vuoden tauon jälkeen, lattiapäällyste entinen titlist Elio Rojas neljä kertaa matkalla viidennen kierroksen TKO:han (2:02).

 

Garcia (35-0, 29 KOs) ei osoittanut merkkejä rengasruosteesta, kun hän käveli eteenpäin avauskellosta. Entinen 126 ja 130 punnan titlist ja puntaa puntaa maksettava peruslattialla Rojas (24-3, 14 KOs) kolmannen puolivälissä oikea-vasen-yhdistelmällä, lähettää Dominikaanin kankaalle vain toisen kerran uransa aikana. Rojas voitti laskennan, mutta hirviö oikea sai hänet putoamaan kasvot eteenpäin vähemmän kuin minuutin kuluttua kierroksen toiselle pudotuspelille. Jälleen, kestävä Rojas jatkoi esiintuloa Garcia teki-off.

 

Rojas merkittiin jälleen viidennen puolivälissä valtavalla oikealla, putoaa kankaalle kolmannen kerran taistelussa. Nyt vuotaa verta nenästä, Rojas kaatui jälleen vain muutama sekunti myöhemmin Garcian raa'alla oikeanpuoleisella lyönnillä. Jälleen, Rojas voitti laskennan, mutta näytti hävinneeltä ja erotuomari Eddie Claudio keskeytti taistelun.

 

“Kahden ja puolen vuoden lomauttaminen syttyi minussa tuleen ja motivoi minua tekemään parhaani,”Sanoi Garcia, joka laskeutui 50 prosenttia valtaansa laukausta. “Elio on kova kaveri ja entinen maailmanmestari. Hän ei tullut palkkaa hakemaan; hän tuli voittamaan.

 

“Elio käytti tilaisuutta hyväkseen. Mutta harjoittelimme tällaista upeaa suoritusta varten, ja olin innoissani saadessani työn valmiiksi. Tuntui mahtavalta olla täällä tukevan joukon kanssa takanani. Odotan innolla pääseväni takaisin sinne ja voittamaan toisen maailmanmestaruuden.”

 

Neljästä pudotuksesta huolimatta, Rojas oli eri mieltä pysäyttämisestä ja halusi jatkaa taistelua.

 

“Pääsin pois kankaalta, koska harjoittelin niin kovasti,Rojas sanoi. "Mikey on vain vahvempi. Olen luonnollinen 126 kiloa painava taistelemassa painoni yli. Se oli hieno ottelu ja Mikey on loistava taistelija. Minulla ei ole epäilystäkään, etteikö hän aikoo ottaa divisioonan haltuunsa.

 

“Olin hyvin järkyttynyt, kun tappelu lopetettiin. Halusin jatkaa, koska minulla on mestarisydän, enkä koskaan halua luovuttaa.”

 

Kerran lyöty 154 punnan haastaja Tony Harrison turvasi IBF:n numeron. 2 sijalle yhdeksännen kierroksen TKO:lla (1:18) of Sergey Rabchenko SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING -televisiolähetyksen avausottelussa.

 

Harrison (24-1, 20 KOs) on nyt sijalla nro. 2 IBF:n nuorten keskisarjan maailmanmestari Jermall Charlon takana ja No. 1 pakollinen haastaja Julian Williams, jotka ovat suostuneet tappelemaan myöhemmin tänä vuonna.

 

Harrison asetti etäisyyttä töytöllään, hallitsi vauhtia ja voitti Rabchenkon (27-2, 20 KOs) lähes 2-1 marginaali. Hän murskasi Rabtšenkon tasaisella teholaukauksilla ja hyvin ajoitetuilla töksillä, kun hän latasi valkovenäläisen terävällä oikealla kädellä minuutin kuluttua yhdeksännestä.. Rabchenko nousi ylös, mutta näytti tappiolta ja epävakaiselta jaloillaan, pakotti erotuomarin Arthur Mercanten keskeyttämään kilpailun.

 

Harrison laskeutui 11 of 40 jabs per kierros päälle vaikuttava 46 prosenttia valtaansa laukausta.

 

“Tämä on ehdottomasti suurin voittoni koskaan,"Harrison sanoi. "Huotin hänet nukkumaan. Valmentajani sanoi minulle, että minulla olisi oikea käsi pistoksen takana, ja niin tapahtui. Olen viimeistely. Satutin hänet ja sanoin tuomarille: "Et anna hänen mennä."’ Tiesin, että olin lyönyt hänet.

 

– Keskittynyt Tony Harrison voi voittaa kenet tahansa 154 kilolla. Nyt se on Jermall Charlo ja Julian Williams. Olen kissalintupenkillä.”

 

Rabcheko heitti vain keskimäärin 31 lyöntejä per kierros, yhdistää vain seitsemän per kierros.

“En heittänyt tarpeeksi lyöntejä,"Rabchenko myönsi. – Luotin edelleen puolustukseeni enkä hyökännyt tarpeeksi. Etsin yhtä laukausta ja oli vaikea tehdä se Tony Harrisonia vastaan ​​yhdellä lyönnillä. Tuomari teki loistavaa työtä tauon kanssa. Terveyteni on ennen kaikkea. Jokaisen taistelijan terveys on tärkeintä. Tiesin, etten voinut jatkaa.”

 

Entinen kahden divisioonan maailmanmestari ja SHOWTIME-analyytikko Paulie Malignaggi voitti 10 kierroksen yksimielisen päätöksen Brooklyniten kanssa Gabriel Bracero "Taistelussa Brooklynista". Keskisarjan ottelu syntyi 96-94 ja 98-92 kahdesti.

 

"The Magic Man" pysyi tavanomaisessa pelisuunnitelmassaan, nyökkäilee etäisyydellä ja hyödyntää ulottuvuusetuaan luonnollisesti pienempää Braceroa vastaan, joka ei päässyt sisään teknikkoa vastaan. voittaa (36-7, 7 KOs) saneli vauhtia ja oli tehokkaampi taistelija, lasku 35 prosenttia hänen kaikista iskuistaan ​​verrattuna 29 joukkueelle Bracero (24-3, 5 KOs). Malignaggi hallitsi töillä, lasku 11 kierrosta kohti, mikä on kaksinkertainen keskipainoon verrattuna.

 

“Tiesin, että Bracero oli minun kaltaiseni vastalävistäjä. Yritin vain olla terävämpi vastalävistäjä. Me molemmat yritämme asettaa ansoja, ja halusin vain saada hänet ansaitsemaan kaikki saamansa pisteet. Samaan aikaan, Minusta tuntui, että minun oli ansaittava pisteeni. Sanoin taistelun pottilaukauksilla ja astumalla yli.

 

“En halunnut joutua epätoivoon. Halusin pakottaa hänet tulemaan epätoivoiseksi tuloskorttien jälkeen. Mielestäni onnistuin siinä hyvin. Kun taistelu jatkui, Käytin vain liikettäni ja tekojani pysyäkseni hallinnassa.

 

”Suunnitelma oli pitää se yksinkertaisena – jos hän ei sopeutuisi mihinkään ansoihin, sitten aioin jatkaa niiden käyttöä. Pidin sen niin yksinkertaisena kuin pystyin miestä vastaan, joka monimutkaistaa asioita, hän saa sinut kiinni. Hän on vastalävistäjä, joka voi saada sinut maksamaan. "

 

Myöhemmin illalla, Malignaggi palasi kehäpaikalleen SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING -televisiolähetyksen kommentaattorina.
