Here is what the press conference participants had to say Saturday from Microsoft Theater at L.A. Живая:

Эррол Спенс JR.

“I train old school so I don’t worry about how Mikey is planning to get stronger at the weight. I’m not worried about it and I don’t think it will make a difference in the fight. I’m just going to focus on what I have to do to be at my best.

“Size always matters, but when you get in there, в конце дня, it’s about skills and intelligence. I’m not going to rely on size. I’m going to focus on my talent. If I can roll through him, then I’ll show my killer instinct and try to get him out of there. I’m going to use my ability to break him down.

“At first I thought he was just chasing my name when he was calling me out. Once it became real, I saw how serious he was. At that point I was very confident it would happen.

“I’m not the bully here because Mikey really pushed for the fight. The other champions weren’t available at the time, plus Mikey is the only top fighter who called me out. I knew this was a fight I wanted.

“Mikey is undefeated, has a great skill set and has won a title at 140-pounds. I don’t see him as that small a fighter. He has a technical style that’s very traditional. He likes to use angles to set his opponent’s up.

“We’re focused on what I can do and what our game plan is. I always spar the same people no matter what because they get me into the condition I need to be in and they have me primed for any challenge.

“The welterweight division has always been one of the strongest divisions in the sport and it is like that now. We just need to fight each other. I’m ready to fight any of them. Whoever ends up on top from this group, will end being a Hall of Famer. That’s how you become an all-time great.

“This is something I’ve been waiting for my whole life. I’m focused and prepared for this challenge. It’s going to be all eyes on me and Mikey in that ring and I can’t wait.

“I’m happy that someone is challenging me. I’ve been looking for an opponent like him. He’s established himself in this sport. I’m happy to be able to take on this challenge. I’m looking for a skillful Mikey Garcia to bring the best out of me on March 16.

“My vision is that my hand will be raised in victory, whether it’s a knockout or a 12-round grueling fight, I’m preparing for the best Mikey Garcia skill wise, strength wise and as far as his ring intelligence.”

MIKEY GARCIA

“These are the kinds of challenges I want. I need someone like Errol Spence Jr., with his demeanor and style, to bring the best out of me. I want the world to finally see the full Mikey Garcia.

“The training that we did in the Bay Area definitely helped me. We are going up in weight and needed to do a different type of training. We wanted to make sure that we gained a little bit of mass so that I can be able to hold off Errol Spence’s weight and strength.

“The key to my strength training was that we didn’t want to lose my speed and explosiveness. I can see now that I’m back in sparring that I still have that speed while also gaining the muscle we had to.

“If people say Errol is bigger, that’s just obvious. But who’s faster? Who has better timing? There’s a lot more that goes into this sport and who’s going to win this particular fight.

“This has been one of the toughest camps I’ve ever had. We’re working on a lot of different methods and techniques to be at our very best. He’s going to be bigger than me on fight night, but that’s part of the challenge. I’ve know that since the beginning and that’s why we’ve trained the way we have.

“When I saw him fight Lamont Peterson I decided that Errol Spence Jr. was the fight I wanted one day. People tried to talk me out of it, but now they’re all on board. People have now started to see what I’m going to be capable of on March 16.

“I want the best Errol Spence Jr. I know he’s a great fighter with a lot of skills and talent. He hasn’t needed to use all of his skills, как и у меня. He does everything well, but nothing spectacular. I just feel like I’m the better fighter. I think I have the advantage everywhere except maybe power, but we’ll find out on fight night.

“This is history in the making. I’m trying to establish a great legacy. This is the kind of fight that I need. I know my fans are going to show up and give me a lot of support. This fight truly excites me and motivates.

“I’m not going to let this fight slip away. I’m going to establish myself as one of the best of the generation and eventually one of the best of all time.

“Even though some people believe I’m the underdog, I don’t see myself that way. I’m undefeated and I think Errol knows that I pose a challenge. It’s no easy task for either one of us. This is the fight that I need for my legacy.”

DERRICK ДЖЕЙМС, Тренер Спенса

“This fight is all about the skillset, not the size. Size will come into play a little bit, but we’re going to show the skillset that we have to beat this guy. That’s what Errol is going to show.

“Mikey Garcia has a good technical style. But there’s always a method to take down a great fighter. I think that a day like today will inspire us even more to work even harder. We can see him right in front of us. Its real and we can’t wait.

“When I first saw Errol we were actually sparring each other. We started working together and I got to see him walk through guy after guy. We knew he was a great athlete, but it took time to build to where I started to realize he was something special.”

Роберт Гарсия, Garcia’s Brother & Тренер

“This is a big challenge for us to go up in weight to fight the best welterweight in the world. But it’s not like its’ never been done before and I know Mikey has the skills and power to pull it off. That’s what we’re coming to Dallas to do.

“This is an opportunity for Mikey to continue building his legacy. He wants to be known as one of the greatest fighters of all time and a win over Errol Spence Jr. is a big step toward that.

“I don’t think they’ve overlooking Mikey. “They know the talent he has. They’re getting ready for a great fight like they’ve done before. I think they know that they’re in for a real fight.”

DAVID Benavidez

“I’m back here in this stage and that’s all that matters. I’m living and learning. I can’t wait to be in position to again fight for the world title.

‘I actually sparred with J’Leon Love when I was 15-years-old. He’s a great fighter who’s a veteran. Я не с видом его. I’m training for this fight like it’s a world title fight. Whatever style he comes with, Я буду к этому готов.

“I’m better than ever. Everything has been a lesson learned. I had to sit out while I lost my spot, so now I’m more motivated than ever. This year we’re leaving the past in the past and coming back stronger.”

Крис Арреола

“I’m excited to be back. It was a long layoff where I spent time with my son and watched him grow. I missed that feeling of being in front of fans and getting that nervous energy right before a fight.

“I’m anticipating and I’m hoping for a rowdy crowd on March 16. There will be a lot of Spence and Garcia fans and a whole lot of great fights. Us Mexicans, we love fights.

“I know that my opponent is a southpaw and he’s slick. He’s going to try to out box me. I know he’s not going to want to stay in my wheelhouse. I have to be in shape to go the distance and be ready for shots coming from different angles.”

JERRY JONES, Владелец Даллас Ковбойз, Президент и генеральный директор

On hosting Spence and Garcia at separate Cowboys home games last season:
“It was just good to rub elbows with champions. I want all that they have to rub off on me and the Dallas Cowboys.

“The fact that FOX is involved and their interest in this fight is amazing. We’ve had great events with FOX, including the Super Bowl. Our stadium was really built for boxing. These fighters will be standing 70 feet tall suspended above the ring on the video board. It’s an excellent way to feel like you’re so close you’re receiving the blows from these great fighters.

“We’re so excited for our Mexican-American fan base. This is a great area for boxing. We endear ourselves to be involved with an event like this in anyway the Cowboys can. Especially with two great fighters like Spence and Garcia.

“I think you’ll see a fight with outstanding champions involved on March 16. You don’t get to see the best against the best very often. At AT&T стадион, you’ll see it in a way that can’t be matched at normal sports venues. The aura of having thousands of fans like at a football game is unmatched. It’s a grand experience and we’re proud to be a part of boxing.”

Ричард Шафер, Председатель & Генеральный директор Ringstar спорта

“The winner of this fight will be pound-for-pound the best in the world. Everybody would agree both of these guys are near the top of that list, and I believe whoever wins will be number one. This is a coronation for who is today the king of the sport.

“Mikey Garcia is technically one of the best fighters in the world. Эррол Спенс младший. is a strong, determined fighter who just wants to prove that he’s the best. This fight is a chance for both guys to prove they’re the best in the world.”

Том Браун, Президент TGB Акции

“This is a true blockbuster event, worthy of this incredible press conference live on FOX. These two fighters are not only superstars of the sport, but the winner of this fight will be able to make the claim of being number one pound-for-pound.

“FOX and the Dallas Cowboys have given a tremendous amount of support to this event and we anticipate an unforgettable evening on March 16. Mikey Garcia is truly daring to be great against a fighter in Errol Spence Jr. who has established himself as the class of the 147-pound division.”

Во Вторник, Февраль 19, Spence and Garcia will square off at a press conference from
AT&T Stadium where they will finally go toe-to-toe on March 16.

Garcia is stepping up two weight classes from his last fight to challenge Spence for the welterweight title in Spence’s backyard, not far from the Dallas suburb of DeSoto where Spence grew up a lifelong Dallas Cowboys fan. Garcia will be fighting in Texas for the ninth time as a pro and figures to be buoyed by the large contingent of Mexican and Mexican-American fans that will be in attendance.

His task has historical parallels to the paths taken by great fighters like Shane Mosley, Juan Manuel Marquez and Manny Pacquiao, who all moved up multiple weight classes to challenge all-time great welterweights. Mosley and Pacquiao were both successful in moving up from lightweight to defeat Oscar De La Hoya, while Marquez’s rise to welterweight was halted in a decision loss to Floyd Mayweather.

Spence is a power-punching welterweight who has stopped his last 11 opponents heading into this intriguing matchup against the brilliant tactician that Garcia has established himself as. With a clash of two superb boxers in the prime of their careers and squarely in the top-five of the mythical pound-for-pound rankings, the winner can stake a claim as the best boxer in the sport today.

“Эррол Спенс младший. против. Mikey Garcia is a matchup of two highly-skilled and accomplished fighters in a true blockbuster showdown,” сказал Том Браун, Президент TGB Акции. “Fans will get to see the hometown hero Spence against the Mexican-American superstar Garcia with huge contingents of fans uplifting them to put on a performance to match the moment. Combined with a jam-packed pay-per-view undercard of action fights, this has all the makings of a once-in-a-lifetime event.”

“Спенс против. Garcia is an event that transcends boxing and is a coronation that will crown the new ‘King of Boxing,'” сказал Ричард Шафер, Председатель и генеральный директор Ringstar Sports. “Помимо главного события, fight fans will be treated to a spectacular night of boxing featuring three of the most exciting Mexican fighters in the sport in David Benavidez, Luis Nery and Chris Arreola. This is exactly what a pay-per-view card is and should be all about: entertainment and non-stop action from the first bell to the last!”

“We are proud to host a boxing match of this magnitude with Errol Spence Jr. and Mikey Garcia,” said Dallas Cowboys Owner, President and General Manager Jerry Jones. “AT&T Stadium was built to house the greatest sporting events on the planet, and we feel we have another incredible boxing event on the horizon with this matchup in our building on March 16.”

Кладовая для продуктов (24-0, 21 КО) is no stranger to big stadium events as he won the IBF title by traveling to England to take on then-champion Kell Brook at Bramhall Lane soccer stadium on May 27, 2017. In front of a raucous crowd of over 27,000 loyal Brook supporters, the 28-year-old Spence stopped Brook in round 11 to wrest away the title.

This will be Spence’s third defense of the title. After beating Brook, he successfully defended it with an eighth-round stoppage of two-division champion Lamont Peterson and then knocked out mandatory challenger Carlos Ocampo in the first round in his last fight at Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Техас, near his hometown of Desoto, Texas on June 16. Spence turned pro shortly after representing the U.S. на 2012 London Olympics with much promise and rose to the championship ranks with wins over former champion Chris Algieri and veteran contenders Leonard Bundu, Alejandro Barrera and Chris van Heerden.

“I can’t wait for March 16th. It doesn’t get bigger than this,” сказал Спенс. “Fighting at AT&T Stadium in my hometown is a dream come true. If I beat Mikey Garcia the way I plan on beating him, I will be the guy in the sport. This is my year and Mikey isn’t going to stop me. I am training like this is the biggest fight of my life and I want to put on a great show for the fans and win convincingly.”

Гарсия (39-0, 30 КО) is striving to put together a legendary career and is aggressively pursuing that goal. He has won world championships at featherweight, младший легкий, lightweight and junior welterweight. He now eyes a welterweight title against the consensus class of the division in Spence. Fighting out of Moreno Valley, Калифорния, Garcia unified the IBF and WBC Lightweight World Championships in his last bout by scoring unanimous decision victory over Robert Easter, Младший. в июле 28.

The 31-year-old first reached the championship ranks by blitzing through the featherweight and junior lightweight division, defeating Orlando Salido, Хуан Мануэль Лопес, Roman Martinez and Juan Carlos Burgos to establish himself as a star in the sport. Garcia has been on a fast track since ending a nearly 2-1/2-year hiatus with a knockout victory over Elios Rojas in 2016. After the victory over Rojas, Garcia scored a KO victory over Dejan Zlaticanin for the WBC lightweight championship in January 2017, before defeating four-division champion Adrien Broner in July and then captured a title at 140-pounds by dropping and defeating Sergey Lipinets last March.

“In my career I’ve always sought to fight the best in boxing and this fight against Errol Spence Jr. is just that,” сказал Гарсия. “I want to be known as one of the all-time greats and what better way to do that than to win a welterweight title and become a five-division world champion. I have a tremendous amount of respect for Errol and what he’s accomplished, but I fully expect to leave the ring at AT&T Stadium with the welterweight world title. This is a match that I’ve been looking forward to for a long time and I plan on giving the fans a performance they’ll never forget.”

The 22-year-old Benavidez (20-0, 17 КО) became the youngest fighter to ever win a super middleweight title in 2017 when he defeated Ronald Gavril at just 20-years-old. Борьба из Феникса, Benavidez’s older brother Jose is also a pro fighter who challenged Terrence Crawford last year. Benavidez most recently won a rematch against Gavril last February, and as WBC “Champion in Recess” he will look to reclaim his belt against the winner of the Anthony Dirrell vs. Avni Yildirim bout for the vacant title on February 23.

Born in Detroit but fighting out of Las Vegas, Любовь (24-2-1, 13 КО) has long been amongst the top contenders at super middleweight and most recently lost a decision to Peter Quillin in August. The 31-year-old had been previously unbeaten in seven bouts heading into the contest against Quillin.

Currently riding a nine-fight knockout streak, Нери (28-0, 24 КО) will look to get one step closer to a fight to regain a bantamweight title when he steps into the ring March 16. The 24-year-old from Tijuana, Mexico twice traveled to Japan and stopped Shinsuke Yamanaka in WBC title fights. В 2018 he stopped Jason Canoy and Renson Robles heading into his U.S. debut against Arroyo.

A 2008 Olympian for his home country of Puerto Rico, Арройо (18-2. 8 КО) captured a 115-pound championship with a technical decision over Arthur Villanueva in their 2015 столкновение. After dropping decisions against Rau’shee Warren and Jerwin Ancajas, the 33-year-old most recently defeated Sander Diaz last June.

An exciting brawler inside the ring, Арреола (37-5-1, 32 КО) is well-known for challenging the best heavyweights in the sport throughout his career, and for becoming a popular attraction in and around his native Los Angeles for his fighting style and persona. The 37-year-old faced the likes of Vitali Klitschko, Томаш Адамек, and Bermane Stiverne, before challenging Deontay Wilder for his title in 2016. After a brief retirement, Arreola returned to stop Maurenzo Smith last December.

Unbeaten and fighting out of Louisville, Augustin (17-0-1, 12 КО) will face his toughest and most experienced test to date in Arreola. Родился в Гаити, Augustin turned pro in 2014 and has steadily climbed up the heavyweight rankings.

He gave a great fight but I was a better fighter. I was in control of the fight and I did what I had to do to win.”

 

 

 

 

Пасхальный, who went into the Garcia locker room after the fight to congratulate his opponent, был милостив к поражению.

 

 

 

 

“Whenever we step in the ring we are both putting our lives on the line and tonight Mikey was victorious,” said Easter, who entered the fight as the longest reigning champion at 135 фунты. “I just couldn’t find the timing and I just couldn’t let my right hand go. He caught me with a clean shot and I went down, but I got up like a true champion.”

 

 

 

 

 

During an interview at the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING host desk, Кладовая для продуктов, a fellow top-five pound-for-pound great, said he would “definitely” welcome a fight with Garcia. “I feel like that’s the best fight available for me right now with Shawn [Носить] and Danny [Гарсия] fighting in September. Keith Thurman is still recovering and needs a tune up.

Full interview here: HTTPS://s.sho.com/2veXH1T.

 

 

 

 

“He’s daring to be great, he wants to be great, he wants to move up and dethrone me and it’s not going to happen. It’s definitely going to be an easy fight. [Гарсия] will be pound-for-pound No. 1 if he beats me. He has great skills but I see myself winning. I don’t really see anything that concerns me. He’s technically good, but I don’t see him hurting me at 147.”

 

 

 

 

Heavyweight southpaw Luis Ortiz (29-1, 25 КО) returned to the ring with a resounding victory, scoring a devastating second round knockout (2:08) of former world title challenger Razvan Cojanu (16-4, 9 КО)

 

 

 

 

Ortiz landed 42 процентов его мощность выстрела (eight of 19) while Cojanu landed just two of 13 (15%) in the short fight.

 

 

 

 

Ortiz was emotional after the fight. He told SHOWTIME’s Jim Gray that just five days ago he learned doctors have found a cure for Epidermolysis Bullosa, a disease his daughter suffers from.

 

 

 

 

“Thanks to God they found a cure for my daughter’s disease,- сказал Ортис.. “My wife told me while I was boarding the plane to get here. It’s been hard to be away from them. I’m happy I won, but it’s been really hard to be away from them.”

 

 

 

 

 

Both fighters were coming off losses in heavyweight world title fights. Ortiz was fighting for the first time since challenging Deontay Wilder in a 2018 Бой года кандидат. The 6-foot-4 Ortiz wasted little time knocking out the 6-feet-7½, 269-pound Cojanu, returning for his first fight since challenging then-WBO Heavyweight Champion Joseph Parker.

 

 

 

 

 

“In my mind King Kong has not been defeated. I don’t feel I lost against Deontay Wilder. Я хочу драться [Энтони] Джошуа, but he only fights boxers he’s sure he can defeat. I’m going to ask the government to put me on disability, maybe that way Joshua will fight me.”

 

 

 

 

В телепередаче нож, Марио Барриос (22-0, 14 КО) remained undefeated recording his sixth straight stoppage with an eighth-round TKO of Jose Roman (24-3-1, 14 КО) в запланированном матче полусреднего веса из 10 раундов. Each of the judges, as well as SHOWTIME expert scorer Steve Farhood, забил бой 80-70 in favor of Barrios at the time of the stoppage as Roman’s corner didn’t answer the bell for the ninth round.

 

 

 

 

San Antonio’s Barrios relied on effective body work in dominating the fight, подключения на 61 из его 133 кадры тела. Он подключился на 44 процентов его ударов власти (104/239) по сравнению с 26 percent for Roman (34/132), who had just five body shots on the night.

 

 

 

 

"[Body work] is something I’ve been able to work on,” Barrios told Gray in the ring. “You put the body work in early and by the end of the fight they have nothing left. That worked perfectly for this fight. This was the farthest I’ve gone in a while. It was great work and I feel like I’m transitioning to the fighter that I always thought I’ve be.”

 

 

 

 

Окрестности, who suffered a cut above his left eye in the first round, sent Roman to the canvas at 1:15 of the fourth round with a strong right that dazed Roman, then a left hook that put Roman down for the seventh time in his career. Barrios ended the round with a flurry of punches that left Roman stunned.

 

 

 

 

 

The 23-year-old Barrios sent Roman down again with 1:38 remaining in the eighth round. Roman survived the round, but his corner refused to answer the bell and the fight was over.

 

 

 

 

“I feel I’m ready [for a title shot)],” Barrios said. “I feel strong. I feel fast. Я молод, but whatever my managers throw at me I’m ready. If I could get it tomorrow, I’d take it.”

 

 

 

 

 

It was a star-studded night at Staples as current and former world champions attended the fights, including Jarrett Hurd, Эррол Спенс младший, Лев Санта-Крус, Авенир Mares, Gervonta Davis and Adrien Broner.

 

 

 

 

 

Shawn Porter was also in attendance. It was recently announced that Porter and fellow former 147-pound world title holder Danny Garcia will square off against one another for the vacant WBC Welterweight World Championship live on SHOWTIME Saturday, Семь. 8 от Barclays Center в Бруклине, N.Y..

 

 

 

 

“I’m just a different type of athlete,” Porter told SHOWTIME’s Brian Custer. “When you talk about having the tools to become a two-time world champion; I have the tools, the athleticism, the tenacity the ring generalship. You will see all of that on Sept. 8.

 

 

 

 

 

“We always say that the business has to make sense [to make fights], And it sounds to me like the business has played its part. I win the WBC Championship and you’ll get Shawn Porter vs. Errol Spence.”

 

 

 

 

 

В прямых трансляциях андеркартных боев на SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING COUNTDOWN, undefeated super lightweight prospect Fabian Maidana (16-0, 12 КО), the brother of former champion Marcos Maidana, recorded a seventh-round stoppage (2:32) against former world title challenger Andrey Klimov (19-5, 9 КО).

 

 

 

 

 

Также в прямом эфире, 2016 U.S. Olympian and unbeaten prospect Karlos Balderas (6-0, 5 КО) dominated 54-fight veteran Giovanni Caro (27-24, 21 КО) scoring a stoppage at 2:09 of the fourth round in a scheduled six-round super featherweight bout.

MIKEY GARCIA

 

 

 

“Это будет мой первый матч за объединение титулов. Это очень много значит для встречи с еще одним непобежденным чемпионом. Это поможет моему наследию и моей карьере. Я предпринимаю правильные шаги, чтобы двигаться вперед и закрепить свое имя на века.

 

 

 

“Прямо сейчас передо мной нет другого боя, который меня взволновал бы, кроме этого боя против Роберта Истера-младшего.. Он собирается прийти со всем, что он имеет. Это определенно его самая большая битва, и я верю, что мы сможем извлечь друг из друга лучшее..

 

 

 

“Я и Роберт Истер младший. единственные непобежденные чемпионы в дивизионе. Так в моих глазах, победитель - лучший боец ​​в дивизионе.

 

 

 

“Я очень рад снова сражаться в Лос-Анджелесе. Прошло семь лет с тех пор, как я здесь дрался. Дать фанатам возможность увидеть этот большой бой вживую в STAPLES Center - это здорово.. Я очень благодарен за то, что мы могли поссориться здесь. Большинство оппонентов не пришли бы сюда.

 

 

 

“Я возвращаюсь в STAPLES Center как чемпион мира, и у меня есть шанс объединиться в моем родном городе. Нет ничего лучше, что я мог бы попросить. Я сделаю все возможное, чтобы выйти победителем в субботу вечером.

 

 

 

“Я рад, что Роберт уверенно вступает в этот бой. Я верю, что он покажет лучшую версию себя. Это то, что меня еще больше мотивирует и воодушевляет на этот бой..

 

 

 

“Я здесь, чтобы принять самые большие бои и самые большие проблемы. Очень скоро я буду в полусреднем весе, и я с нетерпением жду встречи с лучшими. Все говорят не делать этого, и это то, что меня волнует и мотивирует больше всего.”

 

РОБЕРТ ПАСХА JR.

 

 

 

“Я действительно не обращаю внимания на то, что меня не замечают’ или что говорят мои оппоненты перед боем. В Июле 28 нам еще нужно попасть туда и бросить эти руки. Ничто из сказанного им или кем-либо за пределами меня вообще не беспокоит.

 

 

 

“Единственное громкое имя, которого избил Майки Гарсия, - Адриан Бронер.. Я собираюсь доставить ему проблемы. Я верю в наши навыки и записи, победитель этого боя - лучший боец ​​в своей весовой категории.

 

 

 

“Это может привлечь внимание к моей карьере. Это может помочь мне получить признание, которого я заслуживаю. Я смотрю на все свои бои как на большой бой, но очевидно это объединение. Вы увидите там двух воинов в субботу.

 

 

 

“Прошло много времени с тех пор, как я дебютировал в профессиональном клубе STAPLES Center.. В субботу вечером вас ждет много событий и волнений.. Ожидать неожидаемое.

 

 

 

“У меня был отличный тренировочный сбор с тренером Каннингемом и моим отцом. Я все время занимался боксом, и действительно то, что мне было нужно, чтобы попасть в такой матч..

 

 

 

“Все смогут увидеть, как моя тяжелая работа окупается в субботу вечером. Я не тот, кто любит об этом говорить, Я хочу показать всем, что у меня есть.

 

 

 

“Это те драки, в которых я всегда хотел участвовать. Я знаю, что это большой бой, который понравится фанатам.. Я дам им что-нибудь запомнить.

 

 

 

“Быть аутсайдером - вот что это такое. Только один из нас может быть фаворитом. Мы сделали то, что должны были подготовиться к этому бою, и в июле 28 вы увидите все это в действии.”

 

Роберт Гарсия, Брат и наставник Майки

 

 

 

“В любом бою всегда есть риск. Мы очень хорошо подготовлены к этому большому испытанию, и Майки находится в прекрасном психологическом состоянии.. Истер — высокий парень, который, я уверен, попытается использовать свою досягаемость и бороться снаружи.. Но мы будем готовы ко всему, что он принесет.

 

 

 

“Очевидно, что это большой бой для Майки против другого элитного боксера.. Когда объединяются два непобедимых парня, всегда большой. У нас были замечательные спарринг-партнеры, которые подготовили Майки к тому, чтобы быть на высоте..

 

 

 

“Мы готовы к лучшему Роберту Истеру. Я даже не смотрю его последние два выступления. Мы сделали то, что должны были сделать, чтобы быть готовыми к этому бою и лучшей версии нашего соперника.”

 

Кевин CUNNINGHAM, Со-тренер Пасхи

 

 

 

“Роберт всегда был потрясающим бойцом и превосходным боксером, когда хочет боксировать.. Мы просто уделяем особое внимание тому, как мы хотим драться с Майки Гарсиа.. Роберт обладает природными навыками и способностями, плюс размер и досягаемость, чтобы сделать это.

 

 

 

“Мы готовы диктовать темп, контролировать расстояние и диапазон и делать все, что мы хотим. Мы сделали это пока в лагере и собираемся вывести его на ринг в субботу вечером.

 

 

 

“В последние пару недель стало очевидно, что Гарсия больше говорил о будущих боях, чем об этом поединке в субботу вечером.. Я смотрю на это, как он смотрит на Пасху. Однако, Майки - профессионал, у него есть опытный тренер, поэтому я сомневаюсь, что его полностью игнорируют.. Ему лучше быть готовым.”

 

РОБЕРТ ПАСХИ SR., Отец Пасхи & Со-тренер

 

 

 

“Я всегда очень уверен в шансах Роберта каждый раз, когда он выходит на ринг.. У нас был хороший лагерь, и я знаю, что он готов. Он всегда готов, точно так же, как он был для каждого боя, предшествующего этому.

 

 

 

“Этот бой будет соответствовать шумихе. Роберт собирается выйти и показать миру, из чего он на самом деле сделан.

 

 

 

“Мы собираемся пойти туда и выиграть. Мы собираемся навязать Майки наш план на игру и сделать эту ночь для него действительно долгой.”

 

ЛУИС ORTIZ

 

 

 

“Мой голод и мотивация стать чемпионом мира совсем не изменились. Мой противник очень большой, но на ринге все одного размера. Мы будем умны, и я сделаю свою работу в субботу вечером.

 

 

 

“Битва с Уайлдером - вот что это такое. Это прошлое сейчас, и я не жалею об этом. В конце концов, я хочу матч-реванш, и я считаю, что заслуживаю матча-реванша.. Они все еще бегут от меня, и они явно бегут от Уайлдера., но я бегу ни от кого.

 

 

 

“Победа в субботу вечером вернет меня в очередь на реванш с Деонтеем Уайлдером.. Борьба - это то, что я умею делать, и это то, что я собираюсь сделать в субботу вечером. Мы оба жаждем победы, и посмотрим, кто выйдет победителем..

 

 

 

“Я понял, что мне нужно тренироваться еще усерднее, бороться сильнее, бросьте больше и подключите больше. Если бы я не устал, Я бы все еще ударил его сегодня. Я выбросил часы в спортзале. Мы собираемся быть умнее в будущем.”

 

РАЗВАН КОЖАНУ

 

 

 

“Я очень готов к этому матчу. Когда мы получили этот звонок, я уже была в форме. Нам просто нужно было приспособиться к бою с левшой.. У нас есть около месяца действительно веселых спаррингов, ведущих к этому бою..

 

 

 

“Я чувствую себя очень комфортно против левши, особенно тот, с которым все знакомы, как Ортис. Я знаю, что у меня есть навыки, чтобы забрать домой победу.

 

 

 

“Уайлдер vs. Бой с Ортисом был отличным боем, и я поздравляю его с этим выступлением.. Я видел много вещей, которые я могу разоблачить. Главное — острая комбинация один-два, которая доставляет ему неприятности.”

 

MARIO БАРРИОС

 

 

 

“Это определенно самое сложное испытание в моей карьере.. Я очень рад этому большому бою. Это будет прорывное выступление, которое я искал.

 

 

 

“Какой бы заголовок ни был доступен мне, мы будем следовать за ним.. Неважно, с кем мне придется столкнуться, Я буду готов. Я стреляю в самое лучшее.

 

 

 

“Это отличная возможность дебютировать на SHOWTIME.. Это карта, наполненная талантом, но я планирую украсть шоу. Я собираюсь показать всем, какой я боец.

 

 

 

“Я знаю, что Роман придет драться, но я тоже. Я не могу дождаться боя в этом здании. Все великие сражались здесь, и мне не терпится устроить отличное шоу.”

 

ХОСЕ РОМАН

 

 

 

 

“Окрестности’ лучшим оружием будет его скорость и его дальность, и я думаю, что у нас есть идеальный план игры, чтобы противостоять этому.. Я знаю, что мне нужно быть терпеливым, потому что у меня сложный соперник.. Я делаю это для своей семьи, и никто не может меня остановить.

 

 

 

“Победа над Марио Барриосом была бы для меня огромной.. Болельщики могут прийти туда в ожидании войны между двумя мексиканскими воинами, которые оставят все на ринге..

 

 

 

“Когда я не сражаюсь, я учусь в Кипрском колледже по специальности «Математика».. Я очень хорошо разбираюсь в математике с детства. Сейчас я нахожусь на отличном пути в своей боксерской карьере и в жизни.”

 

Ричард Шафер, Председатель & Генеральный директор Ringstar спорта

 

 

 

“Это удивительная карта сверху вниз. Здесь, в STAPLES Center, проходит боксерское зрелище.. У нас есть всего понемногу на этой карте. В том числе таланты из спортзала Роберта Гарсии., больше 2016 U.S. Олимпиец Карлос Бальдерас, кто, я верю, однажды станет хедлайнером в STAPLES Center..

 

 

 

“Телевизионная часть этой карты также имеет звездный состав., включая непобежденного Марио Барриоса, который хорошо представляет Техас и гордится своим штатом. Он один из самых захватывающих бойцов в дивизионе, и Хосе Роман столкнется с серьезными проблемами..

 

 

 

“Луис Ортис — такой боец, которого нельзя пропустить ни на минуту, когда он сражается.. Он выходит из одного из лучших боев в этом году, когда он бросил вызов чемпиону WBC в супертяжелом весе Деонтею Уайлдеру.

 

 

 

“Матч между Майки Гарсией и Робертом Истером-младшим. это вишенка на вершине удивительной ночи. Я знаю, что эти бойцы готовы развлекать и демонстрировать свой талант.”

Стивен Эспиноза, Президент спорт & Программирование событий, Showtime Networks Inc.

 

 

 

“Есть бойцы, которые говорят, что хотят жестких боев, а есть бойцы, которые действительно принимают тяжелые бои.. Между этими двумя есть большая разница. Майки Гарсия и Роберт Истер-младший. это бойцы, которые на самом деле берут лучшие бои.

 

 

 

“Это третье объединение титулов чемпиона мира на SHOWTIME в этом году.. Ни одна другая сеть не показывала бои такого уровня любителям бокса.. Это больше объединений чемпионов мира, чем все остальные сети вместе взятые в этом году..

 

 

 

“Майки — лучший боец ​​в весовой категории, а Истер — дольше всех действующий чемпион в легком весе и, вероятно, самый избегаемый боец ​​в дивизионе.. Никто не спешит драться ни с одним из этих парней, еще, это был легкий бой.”

I want to tell you guys about someone who’s meant a lot to me. This might sound funny, but he’s basically a mixture between the Godfather and a superhero. I say Godfather because he’s got this presence: always serious, all business … when he walks into a room, everybody goes quiet.

 

 

And I say superhero because many years ago he did something incredible. Something that sticks with me to this day.

 

 

He didn’t quite lift a car above his head, but man, it was close.

 

 

Back in the 1960s, he was living with his girlfriend on a ranch in Mexico. There were no jobs where he lived, so one day, when he’s 17, he decides to go to the States as part of a migrant worker program. When the program ends after a year, he starts paying someone to smuggle him across the border. He regularly returns to Mexico with what he’s earned, but it’s not much – sometimes barely enough to pay off the smuggler. Then when he’s 20, he marries, and gets the paperwork to move his young family to California. So now he’s got to make even more money, право?

 

 

Trouble is, he hasn’t got a cent. He’s got no proper income. No proper education. He can barely even speak English.

 

 

So he begins working in a fish cannery. Then he and his wife move to a beat-up trailer park and begin picking strawberries in a nearby field, toiling away in the sun and the mud. It’s awful work. But they’re still broke.

 

 

And now they have seven kids.

 

 

One day this guy just loses it – or so it seems. He’s out window-shopping with his wife when they see all these lovely beds and tables and wardrobes. He turns to her and says, “You like that furniture? Хорошо, one day I’m gonna get it for you.”

 

 

She looks at him like he’s lost his mind. Then she gets pissed off.

 

 

“What are you telling me that for?” она говорит. “Just to tease me? You know you can’t afford any of that stuff.”

 

 

She’s right of course. This guy has nothing. Хорошо, except for one thing: бокс. He was an amateur boxer back in Mexico, and now he’s hanging out in a local gym trying to find work as a trainer. Sometimes he doesn’t even bother coming home – he just goes straight from the strawberry fields to the gym. And somehow … somehow he begins working with some fighters. He seems to know his stuff, because a few of them become good. Really good. A few of them even become famous.

 

 

Eventually he is able to move his family out of the trailer park and into a decent house. But he never mentions the promise he made. По 2000, two of his boxers have become world champions. Now he’s got enough cash to buy a brand new five-bedroom house. He and his wife watch it get built on the old strawberry fields where they used to work. Then they pick the furniture – all new, all luxurious. When it arrives, his wife opens the door and sees it… and then he brings up the story.

 

 

“Remember what I told you all those years ago?” он говорит,. “The beds? The tables? I made you a promise. Here you have it. Это вам.”

 

 

She starts to cry.

 

 

That was such a wonderful moment. Я помню … because I was there.

 

 

That guy was my father.

 

 

 

I must have been 13 или 14 лет. I was born in that trailer park, in Oxnard, the youngest of seven kids. We moved out when I was one. We had been dirt poor, but my father never told us how bad it was. Only a few years later did I understand how hard he had had to work for us. So when he bought my mother that furniture, I felt so proud. Я был, как, Damn. My dad’s a badass.

 

 

Я получаю … I get emotional just thinking about it.

 

 

Мне, мой отец, Эдуардо, is living proof of the American dream. People know him today as the guy who trained Fernando Vargas to IBF and WBA world titles and my brother Robert to an IBF world title. People also know him, конечно, as my trainer. But beyond all the boxing stuff, what my father has shown is that you can achieve anything – no matter who you are, no matter where you come from. When I began to dream about what I wanted to do in life, I knew there were no limits.

 

 

Сейчас, the natural thing for me was clearly to become a boxer, like my father and my brother. But I didn’t want that. It didn’t interest me at all.

 

 

На самом деле, if you had asked me what I would do for a living, I would have told you that I’d become a lawyer or a police officer. I guess I was just attracted to the idea of authority. I tried to avoid boxing altogether – I was almost defiant about it. But then one day, the sport found me.

 

 

Я был 13. We were going to see my nephew, Хавьер, fight in Reseda. I was just going to support him, but one of the kids in the gym didn’t have an opponent. So Robert signed me up.

 

 

Он сказал, “Bro, you’re going in the ring.” And I was like, “All right.”

 

 

Конечно, I had grown up watching my father train Fernando and Robert, so I knew the basics. I borrowed some equipment, обувь, cup, головной убор – все – but since I wasn’t licensed to compete, we just fought a three-round exhibition. And I liked it. I liked that one-on-one. I held my own too. потом, I wanted another taste of it.

 

 

Six months later I had my first official amateur bout. Я выиграл. I won my first 10 бои. В 2003 I reached the final of the National Junior Olympics in the 125-pound class. I lost on a 3-2 решение, при котором голоса разделились, but still, silver was not bad. Soon managers and promoters started to show interest in me. I won a few tournaments, and then one day, на 18, I decided to go pro.

 

 

But I also wanted something to fall back on. You remember the stuff about law enforcement? Хорошо, I wasn’t joking. После колледжа, I went to the Ventura County Police and Sheriff’s Reserve Academy.

 

 

I learned a lot about policing, about reading people, paying attention to details. And a lot of it relates directly to boxing. Stand in the right position. Keep your guard up. Approach from the right angle. Have an exit strategy. Stuff like that.

 

 

When I graduated in 2010, I applied to the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office. But then my boxing career took off. I was getting bigger fights – and better pay than I would as a rookie policeman. And that was when I realized, Знаешь что? Boxing could be my job. Not a dream. Not a hobby. A job.

 

 

I want to make that distinction – that boxing was my job – because the truth is, I didn’t care about titles. Not even when I won the WBO world featherweight title in January 2013. It was all about money. I had just had my second child, and I wanted to provide for my family. That was what my father had taught me: Work hard and do everything you possibly can so that your kids can have a better life. I’m still doing that. Maybe one day, my kids will also be able to say the same thing I can: “Да, мой папа, he’s a badass.”

 

 

My father is 73 now and has a head full of white hair. He doesn’t look like he did when he was training world champions, but he still has that aura. В спортзале, people call him ‘Big G’. You can tell when he’s not there because everybody becomes more relaxed. When he’s there, хотя, people sharpen up. They work harder. There’s no messing around. That’s why I say he’s like the Godfather.

 

 

My father was my trainer. He and I were doing well in 2013, but then in early, 2014 we had to put everything aside. My contract with my promoter, Top Rank, was running out, but Top Rank was saying that the agreement was still in place. We disagreed. We took it to our attorneys, and they all told us that we were right. The litigation process was so tedious that it took us two years in court to reach a settlement.

 

 

 

During that period, I got no fights. Other promoters were scared because they didn’t want to get involved in my dispute. The television networks were afraid of the same thing. I was stuck. But at least I was able to work, or at least come close to working, as an attorney.

 

 

Because I wasn’t on vacation. I was dealing with attorneys four days a week. I was helping them draft letters, editing the boxing language, stuff like that. They would say to me, “You need to go to school, один. You’re good.”

 

 

In a way, all the time off turned out to be a blessing. Because if I had kept on boxing – O.K., maybe I would’ve achieved more by now. I would’ve had more titles, I’d have more money. Whatever. But I’m more in control of my career now. I understand the complications around it, I know what I’m doing. And look, I might have gotten bored with boxing anyway. I might have said, “Eh, that’s enough. It’s over.”

 

 

But instead, when I came back in summer 2016, I was so hungry. Я хотел, чтобы бороться. I wanted titles. It wasn’t even about the money anymore. I just wanted to prove to everybody that I’m the best fighter out here. And there was one thing in particular that I wanted to do. Вы видите, my father had already won three world championships with three fighters in three divisions. But he had never won a WBC world championship. So I set out to get it for him.

 

 

В Январе 2017, in only the second bout after my layoff, I fought Dejan Zlatičanin for the WBC world lightweight title. Мой отец, as he usually does, tried to find small mistakes that he could correct while I was training for the fight. He’s always concerned that I’m not doing enough. Я могу пойти 12 brutal rounds, but if I’m not dead afterwards, he thinks I’m not working hard enough. The truth is the opposite: I’m just in great shape. But he’ll always push me for more.

 

 

And here’s another thing: As a fight comes closer, my father changes. I can sense it, my brothers too. Мой отец, the Godfather, the superhero … he gets nervous.

 

 

Мой отец, the Godfather, the superhero … he gets nervous.

And he particularly did so for my fight with Dejan. There were so many insecurities. Would I be the same boxer when the bell rang as I had been in 2013? Would I be rusty? Dejan was an undefeated champion. Could I beat him? I was fighting in a heavier weight class. Could I handle it?

 

 

Я чувствовал себя хорошо. Я был, как, “Dad, подойди, it’s gonna be fine.” I don’t really know where that comes from, that confidence, that calm. Maybe it’s because I grew up with boxing. The ring, огни, the heat, люди, the music … they’ve been part of my life since childhood. Nothing surprises me. Nothing scares me. Nothing overwhelms me. I’m never angry in the ring, never stressed. And that’s important, because that emotional control helps me to pay attention to the details. If you’re stressed, you can’t do that. But I can.

 

 

I’ll be reading my opponent’s body language: his shoulders, оружие, legs, ноги, глаза … especially the eyes. The eyes tell you a lot. And the breathing. How heavy is he breathing? Is he pushing off me, or just resting? What punch am I gonna land, when am I gonna land it? How am I gonna land it? At what distance should I keep him? It’s all happening so fast.

 

 

But I’m always in control. And against Dejan, хорошо … I knocked him out in the third round. They brought me the WBC belt. I was happy to finally get my hands on it. But what made it so special was that I had won it for my father. I remember hugging him. A big hug.

 

 

Я сказал ему, “Here you have it. Это вам.”

 

 

В марте, I became world champion in a fourth weight class by winning the IBF world super lightweight title. As you know, I’ll soon be fighting Robert Easter Jr. to defend my lightweight title. But there’s another fight at the end of the year that I’m looking forward to even more. If everything goes well against Robert, I want to challenge for the IBF world welterweight crown. The undefeated champion is Errol Spence Jr. – большой, сильный, dangerous fighter. Everybody is telling me not to take the fight. Все. Even my father and my brother. “Don’t take it right now,” they say. “Let’s go after the other guys first. You don’t even need to go to welter. You can take on the guys at 135 или 140, where you’re a little more comfortable.”

 

 

But that doesn’t excite me. I want the toughest guy, and that happens to be a welterweight. I’m better than ever. Я нахожусь в расцвете. And because everybody says no, that gives me more motivation to do it.

 

 

Кроме, this is the kind of fight that is going to cement my name in boxing history. Other fighters win titles, and then just defend them. What’s the point in that? The champions we remember are the ones who take risks, who take on the biggest challenges, самые большие бои. There are lots of world champions, but the average person can probably name five or six: Находятся, Тайсон, Де Ла Хойя, Мэйвезер, Пакьяо … so what good is it to have a title hanging up on the wall if the world doesn’t acknowledge you as a world champion? To me that’s not a world champion. A world champion is when the world admires you and tells you that you’re a world champion.

 

 

That’s why I want to take the fight. And when I win it, I think the whole world’s gonna be like, “Вау, this is no joke. This kid really is the best on the planet.”

 

 

As for my father, he’s going to be so much prouder. He always said that he wanted a three-division champion in his family. I gave him that third title. Then I gave him a fourth. Now I’m gonna give him a fifth, in a division where he says I shouldn’t even be competing. And when I give it to him, I’m gonna be thinking about what he did for us all those years ago. And then I’m gonna say those words again: “Here you have it. Это вам.”
