READING, Pa. – Říjen, 27, 2019 – Top super welterweight contender Erickson Lubin continued his resurgence with a dominant 10-round unanimous decision victory over Nathaniel Gallimore Saturday night on SHOWTIME from Santander Arena in Reading, Pa.

Lubin (22-1, 16 KO) won his fourth straight fight since a knockout loss to Jermell Charlo in a title challenge in 2017. The 24-year-old landed 42 percent of his power shots en route to the wide decision, skóroval 99-91 všemi třemi rozhodčími.

The southpaw relied on a suburb left hook, attacking from a variety of angles against the durable Gallimore (21-4-1, 17 KO) as he improved to 4-0 since beginning to train with southpaw specialist Kevin Cunningham.

“I had a tremendous training camp thanks to Kevin Cunningham,” řekl Lubin. “At first we had Terrell Gausha but he fell out due to his injury. I appreciate Gallimore for stepping up to the plate. He gave me a tough fight and I appreciate it. We gave the fans what they wanted. I measured him. I just timed him and I was able to land my power shots.

“Kevin is a real strict trainer and he’s a southpaw specialist. We’re just improving our game every camp. I definitely want Jermell Charlo again. My goal is to get revenge.”

Cunningham was pleased with his pupil, who was pushed past the fifth round for the first time in more than three years.
“He’s always been a hell of a fighter and I just wanted to fine tune and refine the skill set,” řekl Cunningham. “He can do everything that you can teach. He’s the total package. He’s got power, he’s got speed, he’s got footwork. He’s more than a brawler. He’s a skillful fighter with power.

“He’s ready for all the top guys in the division. The guys with belts are what he wants.”

Former lightweight world champion Robert Velikonoce, Jr. was victorious in his debut at super lightweight, winning a unanimous decision over Adrian Granados in an all-action fight scored 97-93, 98-92, 100-90.

Velikonoce (22-1-1 14 KO), who lost his lightweight title in a unification with Mikey Garcia in 2018, was matched for his first fight a super lightweight against one of boxing’s most aggressive, come-forward fighters and the result did not disappoint. Granados charged forward from the opening bell, pressing on the inside against his rangy, 5-foot-11 opponent. In the first half of the fight, Easter pocketed rounds while fighting from a distance, leaning on his speed to win the first four rounds on all three judges’ scorecards. But the fight seemed to change tides at the midway point, with Granados able to force the bout to be contested at close range. Rounds seven through 10 featured tremendous, back-and-forth exchanges and the more active Granados seemed to get the better of the exchanges.

The fighters combined to throw 1,815 combined total punches and 1,379 combined power punches across 12 kola.

“We knew he was going to be a hell of a warrior in there,” Easter said. “That’s what we train for. This was no ordinary opponent and we knew he was going to bring it. I wasn’t surprised because that’s what he does. You’ve seen him fight with the best of the best and he threw down. I knew he was going to throw punches in bunches.

“This was a hell of a test for me at 140 and I felt strong. I’m not calling out anybody specifically, but you know there are champions in this weight class and I’m coming for all the belts. Line ’em up.”

One of boxing’s most reliable action fighters, Granados (20-8-2, 13 KO) threw more punches and connected more and was once again frustrated with a decision that did not go his way.

“I’m speechless. Cítil jsem se, jako bych vyhrál boj,” Granados said. “Že 100 na 90? Come on now.

“I’m tired of the same old story. It was clear that I controlled the fight. Nikdy mi neublížil. That was embarrassing.

“I can’t control the judging. It’s very frustrating. I have a dream to be a world champion and it just seems like it’s not cutting out for me. But I have the heart of a champion and I’m not giving up.”

V úvodním zápasu na televizní vysílání, undefeated Cuban heavyweight Frank Sanchezpitched a shutout against Jack Mulowayi, winning a 10-round unanimous decision scored 100-90 všemi třemi rozhodčími.

Sanchez (14-0, 11 KO) was the more active fighter from the opening bell, targeting the body against the defensive-minded Mulowayi (7-2-1, 3 KO). The 27-year-old Sanchez, who was taken the 10-round distance for the first time, threw over 250 more punches than his opponent.

“My opponent didn’t really want to fight, he just wanted to fight dirty,” Sanchez said. “So all I could do was give him some lateral movement. It’s difficult when someone doesn’t want to engage. We wanted to touch him down, touch him up high. But once he got touched, the guy just tried to tie up.

“There was no problem going 10 kola. I’m in great shape and I’m ready to fight again as soon as possible. I showed my technical superiority tonight. All the heavyweights better watch out.”

Two-time super featherweight world champion Gervonta “Tank” Davis was interviewed during Saturday’s telecast as he continues to train for his lightweight debut December 28 on SHOWTIME from State Farm Arena in Atlanta. The explosive Davis, who will fight Yuriorkis Gamboa for the WBA Lightweight World Championship, continued to call out the top fighters when he spoke with host Brian Custer.

“I’ve heard all these guys calling me out, I don’t want to sound cocky, but I am the cash cow at this weight class,” Davis said. “Me and Leo Santa Cruz are going to fight in 2020.”

Saturday’s SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION tripleheader will replay on Monday at 10 p.m. ET/PT na Showtime Extreme.

An industry leading production team and announce crew delivered all the sights, sounds and drama from Santander Arena. Veteran broadcaster Brian Custer hosted the telecast, versatile combat sports voice Mauro Ranallo called the action ringside alongside Hall of Fame analyst Al Bernstein and former two-division world champion Paulie Malignaggi. Three Hall of Famers rounded out the SHOWTIME telecast team – Emmy® oceněný reportér Jim Gray, unofficial ringside scorer Steve Farhood and world-renowned ring announcer Jimmy Lennon Jr. The Executive Producer of SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION was David Dinkins, Jr. and the Director was Bob Dunphy.

Terrell Gausha & Rau’shee Warren Withdraw Due to Injuries

READING, Pa. (Říjen 10, 2019) – Top super welterweight contender Erickson “Kladivo” Lubin will now face hard-hitting Nathaniel Gallimore in a 10-round showdown on Saturday, Říjen 26, live on SHOWTIME from Santander Arena in Reading, Pa., v akci pořádané Premier Boxing Champions.

The all-action Gallimore replaces Terrell Gausha, who was forced to withdraw from the main event bout due to an injury to his left hand during sparring that required surgery.

Unbeaten heavyweight sensation karikatura Ajagba will enter the ring against once-beaten Jack Mulowayi in a 10-round bout that replaces the previously announced Rau’Shee Warren vs. Emmanuel Rodriguez fight. Warren had to withdraw from the contest due to a right hand injury suffered during sparring.

The three-fight SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION begins live at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT and also features former lightweight world champion Robert Velikonoce Jr. making his super lightweight debut against battle-tested veteran Adriane “El Tigre” Granados in the 10-round co-featured attraction.

Vstupenky na akce, which is promoted by TGB Promotions and King’s Promotions, are on sale now and can be purchased through Ticketmaster.com or at the Santander box office (Monday-Friday, 10 a.m. – 5 odpoledne, Saturdays 10 a.m. – 2 odpoledne).

Orlando, Florida’s Lubin (21-1, 16 KO) was one of the fastest rising contenders in boxing as he quickly raced to the top of the ladder to challenge Jermell Charlo for the WBC 154-pound championship in 2017. Following a one-punch, first-round stoppage to Charlo, the 24-year-old Lubin has rebounded with three straight stoppage victories of his own to regain his momentum toward a world championship.

V únoru, Lubin became the first boxer to stop former champion Ishe Smith and is coming off a TKO victory over Zaharia Attou in his last fight in June on SHOWTIME.

“It’s unfortunate that Gausha had to pull out because I was really looking forward to that fight,” said Lubin. “Now I’m facing Nathaniel Gallimore, who is a very good fighter whose only losses are to top level guys. I’m expecting a very difficult fight, one that will be explosive for the fans, but one I know I will win. It’s my time to show the world I’m ready to be back on top of the super welterweight division.”

The 31-year-old Gallimore (21-3-1, 17 KO) most recently defeated Antonio Todd by decision in August to rebound from close decision losses to unified champion Julian Williams and top-ranked contender Patrick Teixeira in 2018. Born in Kingston, Jamaica and fighting out of Evanston, Illinois, Gallimore put together a seven-fight winning streak before the Williams fight, including knockouts of contenders Justin DeLoach and Jeison Rosario.

“I’m approaching this like any other big fight that was in the works for a long time,” said Gallimore. “I’ve been waiting for this moment in my career for a while. This is a stepping stone that can take me where I want to go. Lubin’s a pretty good boxer-puncher. He was on the rise for a moment and I knew about him coming up. Je to bude velký boj. I’ll make any adjustment in the ring to capitalize on what I need to do to be victorious that night.”

Nigeria’s Ajagba (11-0, 9 KO) most recently passed the toughest test of his professional career when he defeated fellow 2016 Olympian Ali Eren Demirezen by 10-round unanimous decision in July. The 25-year-old Ajagba gained widespread notoriety in August 2018 when his opponent, Curtis Harper, walked out of the ring after touching gloves to start the first round. Ajagba won the fight without throwing a punch as Harper was disqualified.

Living in Stafford, Texas and training with Ronnie Shields, Ajagba has steadily increased his competition and added knockouts wins over Amir Mansour and Michael Wallisch this year.

Fighting out of Antwerpen, Belgie, by way of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mulowayi (7-1-1, 3 KO) bude dělat jeho U.S.. debut on October 26 in a pro career that dates back to 2015. The 32-year-old was unbeaten in his first seven pro fights before losing a narrow majority decision to Herve Bubeaux in a bout for the Belgium heavyweight title in May. He rebounded to defeat Artur Kubiak in July heading into his fight against Ajagba.

LAS VEGAS (Duben 7, 2018) – Jarrett Hurd unified the 154-pound division with a 12-round split-decision victory over Erislandy Lara in an all-action fight Saturday on SHOWTIME before a sold-out crowd of 2,579 at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

 

 

 

 

Hurd (22-0, 15 KO), who entered as IBF Champion, dethroned WBA Champion in just the seventh unification in division history. The difference in the Fight of the Year candidate was a short left hook that floored Lara in the final minute of the fight. Had the 27-year-old Hurd not scored the knockdown, the fight would have been ruled a majority draw.

 

 

 

 

“It was a tough one, but I went out there and did exactly what I said I was going to do – fight all 12 rounds and get the victory,“ řekl Hurd. “I didn’t feel like that (I needed the knockdown). I feel like I was in control the whole fight, applying the pressure.

 

 

 

 

“I don’t think it had anything to do with age. I think it was me and the game plan we had to apply the pressure.”

 

 

 

 

Following the thrilling bout, SHOWTIME Sports reporter Jim Gray asked Hurd if he’d like to face WBC 154-pound champion Jermell Charlo, who was ringside, to further unify the division.

 

 

 

 

“’Swift’ isn’t ducking anyone,” Hurd responded. “I’m No. 1 nyní. We’re calling the shots.”

 

 

 

 

Hurd applied relentless pressure from the opening round, pressing forward against the crafty southpaw. He pounded the body, yet often neglected defense and ate punishing counter shots for 11 kola. But the difference for Lara (25-3-2, 14 KO), who was making the seventh defense of his title, was the brutal 12th kolo. With blood seeping from a swollen right eye, Hurd connected on a short left hook that floored Lara for the first time in nearly five years.

 

 

 

 

“Besides the last round, I thought I was winning this fight easily,” Lara said. “That’s not to decide the fight. Jsem byl vítězný boj. One punch in a fight doesn’t determine the fight.

 

 

 

 

“Byl to velký boj pro fanoušky. I stood there, fought and it was fun. I thought I clearly won the fight. Once again a decision goes against me, but h​ey we just have to do the rematch.”

 

 

 

 

Entering the fight, Charlo was the consensus No. 1 fighter at 154-pounds. He stated his case for a chance to unify against Hurd.

 

 

 

 

“I’m down. Pojďme. We want that work,” Charlo told SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING host Brian Custer. “I feel Hurd only took the fight with Lara because he realized the harder fight is with Jermell Charlo.

 

 

 

 

“We’ve been there before with Lara. I know what he possesses. Hurd has to get his defense together because he cannot get hit like that by me. Lara doesn’t move like he used to. If he moves like he used to he wins that fight.”

 

James DeGale earned back the IBF Super Middleweight World Championship with a unanimous decision in a rematch with Caleb Truax, taking back the title he lost last December in the near-universal upset of the year.

 

 

 

 

The 12-round championship affair was scored 117-110 a 114-113 dvakrát. DeGale, who was deducted a point in the 10th for pushing, won the championship rounds – 11 a 12 – on all three judges’ scorecards to win the decision.

 

 

 

 

“Two-time world champion. Je to skvělý pocit,"Řekl DeGale. “But full credit to Caleb – he shows he can mix it with the top fighters.

 

 

 

 

“I’m just happy that I’m a two time world champion and I got my IBF world title back. Jsem zpět, Team Chunky, we’re back. Two-and-a-half years I had it and I lost it to Caleb. He embarrassed me, but we’re back.”

 

 

 

 

DeGale (24-2-1, 14 KO) overcame a massive cut from an accidental head butt in the third, which was mistakenly ruled as the result of a punch from referee Robert Byrd.

 

 

 

 

“I couldn’t see from my right eye, DeGale said. “I like Robert Byrd (rozhodčí), but today he was a bit wrong. I couldn’t see. But I’m just glad I got through it. I showed some heart. V mém posledním zápase, I was like a weak little kid.”

 

 

 

 

DeGale connected on 37 percent of his power shots compared to 28 percent for Truax. He now returns to London a world champion with some massive potential fights in the future.

 

 

 

 

“I want to be busy,"Řekl DeGale. “I have a couple years left in this sport.”

 

 

 

 

Truax (29-4-2, 18 KO), who fought for the first time as a world champion, was disappointed and advocated for a rematch after the scores were announced.

 

 

 

 

“I thought I did enough to win the fight, but I also thought I was pretty flat and didn’t get my shots off like I wanted,” Truax said. “I was just a little bit flat. I felt really good coming in but I just couldn’t get my shots off like the last fight. On mi nikdy neublížil, ale je to, co je.

 

 

 

 

“I gave him a rematch straight away so why not do it again.”

 

 

 

 

In the opening bout of the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING tripleheader, Julian Williams scored a career-best win, defeating Nathaniel Gallimore via majority decision in an IBF Junior Middleweight World Title eliminator. Williams, who edge Gallimore 116-112, 117-110, 114-114, is now in position to challenge Jarrett Hurd.

 

 

 

 

Williams (25-1-1, 15 KO) set the pace with a strong left jab in the opening rounds of the fight, keeping Gallimore at bay and the action on the outside. That changed around the fifth round as Williams abandoned the jab and the fight moved to the inside. Williams had his best round in the 11th, connecting on a massive left hand that set up a barrage of combos that nearly had Gallimore out on his feet. Gallimore (20-2-1, 17 KO) survived the round, and Williams wasn’t able the finish him in the 12th, but it was clear Williams deserved the decision.

 

 

 

 

“I wasn’t surprised a judge had a draw,“ řekl Williams. “Sometimes when you’re fighting real close like that, it is hard for judges to score. I knew I won. Once I heard 116-112 a 117-111, I knew I won because I knew he didn’t win eight rounds.

 

 

 

 

“He is a strong fighter, but I knew he was going to do what he did. Start strong early, but I knew he wasn’t strong after six rounds.

 

 

 

 

“The hits to the body was all in the game plan. You have to go to the body in a 12 round fight.”

 

 

 

 

Williams connected on 50 percent of his power shots and landed 37 procent z jeho celkových záběrů.

 

 

 

 

 

“I didn’t really think I won the fight,” Gallimore admitted. “I just let too many early rounds go. I just gave him too many rounds. I had him hurt a couple of times, but he was tough. I should have done more combinations. I will look at the fight and review it, and will make adjustments.”

 

 

 

 

Saturday’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast will replay on Monday at 10 p.m. ET/PT na Showtime Extreme.

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday from Vanity Nightclub at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas:

 

ERISLANDY LARA

 

 

 

“Everyone knows I love to fight his style. I’ve fought better and taller fighters than him and you’ve seen me dominate them. It’s going to be nothing different on Saturday night.

 

 

 

“I want him to come forward. That’s what I’m prepared for. I’m going to give him a lessonon Saturday night.

 

 

 

“I have to give Hurd credit for taking the fight. It’s been hard to get fighters in the ring with me. There’s no need to talk because on Saturday we will find out everything we need to know.

 

 

 

“Everyone here talking from Hurd’s team can’t get in the ring with him. It’s different once you’re in the ring with me. You’ve never been in a big fight. We’ll find out what you have Saturday night. Právě teď, you’re all talk.

 

 

 

“I’m absolutely ready for this fight. This is going to be a great battle for the fans on SHOWTIME. I’m excited to get in the ring and finally unify the decision. I’m preparing to make history.

 

 

 

“I haven’t watched much video on Hurd, but as we saw from the Trout fight, he’s very hittable. Přijďte v sobotu večer, he better have worked on some defense or it won’t last very long.

 

 

 

“I don’t want to hear anything about Jermell Charlo, because Jarrett Hurd is the one who stepped up. V neděli, Charlo can sign the contract and we can get ready to rumble.”

 

JARRETT HURD

 

 

 

“Lara has been the longest reigning champion and he was on top when I first turned pro. We’ve studied him a lot. I didn’t get into this sport to be anything but number one. Lara is the top guy, but after Saturday night, it’s going to be me.

 

 

 

 

“Byl to skvělý tréninkový kemp. We’re well prepared. This is the fight I’ve been asking for. After I beat Tony Harrison, Erislandy Lara had some words on Twitter for me. So I’ve wanted the fight since then. Somebody has to pay for that.

 

 

 

“This fight is coming at the right time for me because my confidence is very high right now. He’s a little older so I’ll be the younger and fresher fighter. I just feel like it’s my time. I’m going to be relentless. I’m not stopping until I get what I want.

 

 

 

“Lara is a veteran with a lot of experience. He knows how to win rounds and he can make you look bad no matter how good you are. I’m going to use my own awkward style and do what I do best.

 

 

 

“With my power and skill set, I can stop any fighter in the division. That definitely includes Erislandy Lara.

 

 

 

“Lara has great discipline in his game plan. No matter if he’s up on the cards or down or anything, he’s not going to switch it up. It’s hard to break a fighter when they’re disciplined like that. We have a plan for everything though and we’re confident that we’ll come up with something that will get us the victory.

 

 

 

“Lara is a guy who can’t take pressure fighters well. I have some of the best pressure in the game. Jsem mladší, silnější, taller and longer. He’s not going to be able to run for 12 kola.

 

 

 

“Nobody wanted to fight this guy. I stepped up to the table because I know what I can do. He’s living the ‘American Dream’, but my dream has just begun. Saturday night I’m going to show you why nobody can survive 12 rounds with Jarrett Hurd. There’s a storm coming.”

 

Caleb Truax

 

 

 

“I’m honored to be here with these great fighters and back on SHOWTIME. Training camp was perfect for this fight. This is the longest camp I’ve had in my career and the most focused I’ve been.

 

 

 

“I just want to go out there and silence people who said it was a fluke the first time I won. I want to prove that I belong at the top of the division. I’m going to put on a good show for the fans and retain my title.

 

 

 

“We’ve had four months to prepare for James DeGale. Normally I have six to eight weeks, so it was nice to have a drawn out and specific training camp. We really focused on the conditioning and making sure I’m reaching my peak.

 

 

 

“I’ve been through a lot in this sport. I’ve fought top guys in big fights but it finally came together last December. It meant a lot to me and now I’m prepared to put on an even better performance. I know DeGale is going to be hungry so I have to be ready for him.

 

 

 

“I had a great camp this fight. I knew we were going to have a rematch so I was right back in the gym in a couple of weeks. My trainer put together a great plan to help me improve and prepare for what DeGale is going to improve on. I’ll be ready for him to be 100 procento.

 

 

 

“I just want to get to Saturday night and put on another great performance to retain my belt. I’m going to give it my all to bring that belt back home to Minnesota.”

 

JAMES DEGALE

 

 

 

“My last performance was horrendous. It was shocking and embarrassing. I’m not going to make excuses about my shoulder and what went wrong. V sobotu v noci, I will be a two-time world champion. Slibuji vám, že.

 

 

 

“I’ve boxed at the top level my whole life and put on some good performances. I know what was wrong with me and why I performed how I did in the first fight. I’m going to put it to rest when I become a world champion again.

 

 

 

“It’s been a long, difficult training camp. I had a gray cloud above my head the last couple of months, but I’m ready to go become a world champion again on Saturday.

 

 

 

“This time has turned me into a beast. I’ve had to take everything even more seriously than before. I might have gotten a bit complacent being a champion those last few years. I’ve locked myself down and I’m ready to go.

 

 

 

“Řekl bych, že 90 percent of the loss was because of what I didn’t do. I looked past him. I came back too quick from the injury, but he still had to get in there and take my belt. There’s no disrespect to Caleb, but I’ve fought the very best of the division and come out on top. The real James DeGale will be back on Saturday.

 

 

 

“It’s going to be a dominant performance on Saturday. If I don’t beat Truax and beat him easily I can’t get to the level that I want. I know that’s what is coming. No excuses.”

 

JULIAN WILLIAMS

 

 

 

“We had a really good camp. I didn’t want to get into the trash talk this camp. He’s a solid fighter and I don’t underestimate anyone. But he seems like a bully. You can’t bully me. He’s obsessed with me on social media. I just have to focus on what he can do as a fighter.

 

 

 

“He’s a nobody who wants some attention. I’m going to give him lots of attention on Saturday night. I’m going to shut this guy up.

 

 

 

“He’s going to lose every single round and probably get stopped late. Every time he gets pushed he loses, gets a draw or gets knocked down. I’m drowning him in deep waters.

 

 

 

“I’m calm right now but also anxious to show everyone what I have. I know I’m a world class fighter, I just have to go do it. I’m making sure I stay patient right now.

 

 

 

“He lost to a journeyman, got a draw with a journeyman and got dropped by a journeyman. There’s nothing else to say. I’m taking him out on Saturday.”

 

NATHANIEL GALLIMORE

 

 

 

“Saturday night is judgment day and it starts with ‘J-Pebbles’. It’s going to be a night to remember for me.

 

 

 

“It’s going to be a spectacular fight. I’m going to demolish him in grand fashion. He’s never faced anyone like me before. When I touch him, je konec.

 

 

 

“You better worry about what’s going to happen to you on Saturday night. It’s going to be nasty. This fight is going to show everyone who I am in this division.

 

 

 

“I had the best training camp of my entire career. We covered all the bases. Saturdaynight I’m going to wipe the smile off his face. You think Charlo hits hard? You’re going to see on Saturday night.

 

 

 

“This opportunity is huge. The division is mine for the taking. I study my opponents and I stalk them in the ring. Everyone will see what’s going to happen on Saturday.”

 

LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather Promotions

 

 

 

“This is a great card from top to bottom. We have none other than the longest reigning 154-pound world champion, Erislandy Lara, taking on one of the toughest tests of his career in the very exciting, young and hungry world champion Jarrett Hurd.

 

 

 

“The co-main event is another important fight with a rematch featuring Caleb Truax, who will be looking to hold on to the belt he took from James DeGale last year, while DeGale will look to get back to where he was before they met last December.

 

 

 

“The show opens up with a high-octane 154-pound title eliminator with Julian Williams and Nathaniel Gallimore. This is the fight that could really steal the show. The winner of this fight will no doubt have their eye on the winner of Saturday’s main event.

 

 

 

“These are some of the best fights that can be made in each weight class. We can’t wait for everyone to see these fighters put it all on the line on Saturday night.”

Ve středu byl také mistr světa v super střední váze Caleb Truax, který se vyrovná bývalému šampionovi James DeGale ve společně uváděné atrakci. Showtime CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING televizní vysílání začíná 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT se 154librovým eliminátorem titulů mezi nimi Julian Williams a Nathaniel Gallimore, kteří byli také ve středu v Mayweather Boxing Club na mediálním tréninku.

 

 

 

 

Vstupenky na koncert, která je podporována TGB Propagace a Mayweather Promotions, jsou nyní v prodeji a jsou k dispozici na webu AXS.com nebo v hotelu Hard Rock & Kasino, Pokladna v Las Vegas.

 

 

 

 

Zde je to, co bojovníci museli říci středu:

 

ERISLANDY LARA

 

 

 

 

“Na tréninku šlo všechno tak, jak mělo. Udělali jsme svou práci a teď je čas bojovat. V tělocvičně jsem udělal vše, co jsem potřeboval, abych se připravil na cokoli, co může Hurd přinést.

 

 

 

 

“Všichni moji soupeři jsou vyšší než já. Jeho velikost pro mě nic neznamená. Mám zkušenosti a jsem nejlepší boxer v divizi. Nikdy neviděl nic jako já.

 

 

 

 

“Musí mě porazit, aby se dostal na první místo v této divizi. Jsem tady, abych se ujistil, že se to nestane.

 

 

 

 

“Všechno jsem v tomto sportu vydělal tvrdě. Vybojoval jsem těžké boje bez peněz. Myslím, že každý ví, jak jsem talentovaný a že patřím mezi ty nejlepší ve sportu.

 

 

 

 

“Na tréninkovém táboře se nedívám na film. Bojovník může na videu vypadat jedním způsobem, ale úplně jinak v ringu. Musí se připravit na to, co dělám. Nebojím se toho, co přináší. Viděl jsem trochu jeho souboje s Pstruhem, když jsem se rozcvičoval na zápas s Terrell Gaushou, ale to je asi tak všechno.”

 

JARRETT HURD

 

 

 

 

“Bylo ve mně něco, co vždy chtělo tento boj. Jednou jsem obhájil svůj titul proti Austin Trout, Rychle jsem se dostal k této příležitosti.

 

 

 

 

“To bude těžký boj. Lara je typ bojovníka, který má hodně zkušeností. Nebude to jednoduché, takže musím být dobře připravený a navíc v sobotu večer.

 

 

 

 

“V tělocvičně jsme hodně pracovali na pohybu rukou a nohou. Proti Pstruhovi jsem dostal příliš mnoho úderů a věděl jsem, co bude zapotřebí k provedení těchto vylepšení.

 

 

 

 

“Každý zápas je nejdůležitějším zápasem mé kariéry, protože chráním tento neporažený rekord. Bude to těžký boj, ale slibuji, že do toho dám všechno a přinesu to Laře celou noc.

 

 

 

 

“Být zpátky ve Vegas a zpátky na Hard Rocku, kde jsem porazil Franka Galarzu, abych celou tuhle cestu opravdu začal, pro mě hodně znamená. Mám v plánu dát všem skvělou show, jako vždy.

 

 

 

 

“Bez ohledu na to, jaký druh boje přináší; Budu se držet svého herního plánu. Musí bojovat mým tempem. Bez ohledu na to, s čím přijde, Budu mít na starosti ring.

 

 

 

 

“Vždycky to bude ohňostroj, když budu v ringu. Mám fanouškovský styl. Konec konců, nemusíte se bát, že by Lara utekla, protože mu budu čelit 12 kola.”

 

Caleb Truax

 

 

 

 

“Myslím, že se DeGale vymlouval. Nemohl přestat mluvit o tom, jak skvěle se cítí jeho rameno, když míří do našeho prvního zápasu. Pak hned po boji řekl, že se cítí dobře. Teď si myslím, že se vrátil příliš brzy. Ještě nedávno sváděl tvrdý boj, tak uvidíme, jak na tom bude v sobotu večer.

 

 

 

 

 

“Jsem připraven na lepšího Jamese DeGalea. Vzal jsem mu pás a vím, že se vrátí hladový. Očekávám, že do toho dá všechno, aby to dostal zpět. Bude v top formě.

 

 

 

 

“Pokud vím, Stále jsem smolař pro tento boj. Spousta lidí si myslí, že jsem byl poprvé náhodný, takže je na mně, abych jim dokázal, že se mýlí. Jsem připraven umlčet kritiky a umlčet DeGale.

 

 

 

 

“Celou dobu jsem měl pocit, že vyhraju, ale mnoho lidí říkalo, že to bylo jedno z největších rozrušení v historii britského boxu. Pořád to pořádně nezapadlo. Opravdu se nic nezměnilo. Jsem zaneprázdněnější muž, ale stále to držím velmi nízko.

 

 

 

 

“Box není v Minneapolis velký sport, protože je to tak skvělá sportovní scéna. Doufám, že moje vítězství v sobotu a Jamal James v dubnu 13 na PBC na FS1 dostane do tělocvičen více dětí.

 

 

 

 

“Bylo mnoho věcí, které jsem musel po prvním zápase zlepšit. Měl jsem čtyři měsíce na to, abych se pořádně prohrabal a připravil se na tento boj. Věděl jsem, že se blíží odveta a dokázal jsem se připravit.”

 

JULIAN WILLIAMS

 

 

 

 

“Měl jsem opravdu dobrý tábor. Opravdu jsem se soustředil jen na to, abych se zlepšil a posunul se ve své kariéře vpřed. Zažil jsem spoustu skvělých kol s kvalitními borci a byl to opravdu produktivní kemp.

 

 

 

 

“Miluji boje v Las Vegas. Elektřina je vždy k dispozici a fanoušci jsou vždy vítáni. Rád předvádím show pro tyto fanoušky.

 

 

 

 

“Myslím, že Gallimore si vedl slušně proti konkurenci, kterou měl. Porazil ho tovaryš a remizoval s jiným tovaryšem. Zdá se, že se rozpálil v pravý čas, ale uvidíme, jestli to přinese v sobotu večer.

 

 

 

 

“Zacouvá do kouta. Musí potvrdit tato slova, která říká. Celkově si myslím, že je to solidní bojovník, dobrý test a měl by to být zábavný boj.

 

 

 

 

“Řekl, že mě vyhodí, ale to je opravdu jediný způsob, jak by mohl vyhrát. Jeden šťastný úder. To je vše, na čem spoléhá. Vyjdu ho ze třídy a vyvenčím ho.

 

 

 

 

“Vždycky jsem věděl, že mám odvahu, Vždycky jsem věděl, že jsem opravdu dobrý bojovník se všemi nástroji, abych se stal mistrem světa. Po prohře jsem se o sobě nepotřeboval nic učit, Musel jsem jen některé věci napravit a jít dál.”

 

NATHANIEL GALLIMORE

 

 

 

 

“Právě teď se cítím skvěle, Jsem připraven na to, že svět uvidí vylepšené „Nate The Great“. Beru každý zápas jako zápas o mistrovství světa. Julian Williams pro mě nic nemá. Musí se starat o to, co přinesu na stůl. V sobotu v noci, bude soudný den. Pravda vyjde najevo.

 

 

 

 

“Tento boj znamená pro mě hodně. To je to, o čem jsem snil už jako malý kluk. Tohle je moje šance stát se skvělým. Ukážu světu, že jsem jiné zvíře v divizi do 154 liber.

 

 

 

 

“Vnáším do tohoto boje naprostou nadvládu. Je mi jedno, co trénuje. Mohl by trénovat na Marsu. Musí se dostat na mou úroveň. roztrhám ho.

 

 

 

 

“Beru tento boj vážně. Julian Williams je teď zticha, ale byl hlasitý, než se utkal s Jermallem Charlem. Musí přijít na to, kdo je. Ukážu to celému světu.

 

 

 

 

 

“Herním plánem je předvést celý můj arzenál. Všechno jsme probrali v tělocvičně. jsem jiné zvíře. Všichni v této divizi si na mě raději dávají pozor. Brzy mě budou muset korunovat.”

Julian Williams Training Camp Notes

Super Welterweight Contender Takes on Nathaniel Gallimore Saturday, Duben 7 in 154-Pound Title Eliminator Live on SHOWTIME from Hard Rock Hotel & Kasino, Las Vegas

SAN CARLOS, JAKO (Březen 30, 2018) – Top super welterweight contender Julian “J-rock” Williams will look to put himself closer to another world title shot when he faces Nathaniel Gallimore in a 154-pound world title eliminator Saturday, Duben 7 živě na SHOWTIME z Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas.

 

 

 

Událost Premier Boxing Champions je v čele s Erislandy Lara, the longest reigning world champion at 154-pounds, clashing with undefeated champion Jarrett Hurd in a highly anticipated 154-pound world title unification bout. Showtime CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING televizní vysílání začíná 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT and also features super middleweight world champion Caleb Truax in a rematch against former champion James DeGale.

 

 

 

The 12-round IBF title eliminator gives Williams a chance to earn a second world title fight, while it would be Gallimore’s first shot at the title. Gallimore has been outspoken in his belief that he will stop Williams, but Williams has chosen to not let the words affect him and focus on the task at hand.

 

 

 

“I have no reaction to the talk coming from Gallimore,” řekl Williams. “He’s trying to draw attention to himself and doing it in a classless way. If he wants a back-and-forth, he’s going to be talking to himself.

 

 

 

“He seems like he’s a strong fighter, but you never really know until you step in the ring with a guy. He’s on a hot streak, he’s a big puncher and obviously he has a lot of confidence. We thought this would be a good test and I think it’s going to be a great fight for the fans.”

 

 

 

Williams is currently finishing up training camp at the SNAC gym in San Carlos, California with trainer Stephen Edwards. In addition to work in the first part of training in Philadelphia with DeCarlo Perez and Jaron Ennis, he has sparred with the likes of Peter Quillin, Prenice Brewer and Joey Spencer in California.

 

 

 

“I’ve been coming out to California for parts of camp since 2014 and it’s really just something that gives me a bit of a spark heading into the fight,” řekl Williams. “There are some elevation and recovery aspects of training that we can do out here. It’s also a good way to get away from things and really dig to another level.”

 

 

 

Williams has been on the road back to title contention after dropping his first title shot to Jermall Charlo in 2016. Williams knew that he did not need to revamp his entire game and has recovered with victories over former champion Ishe Smith and Joshua Conley leading into this fight.

 

 

 

“I thought I was doing well in the Charlo fight so I never pushed the panic button after it didn’t go my way,” řekl Williams. “Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. The plan was always to improve each fight and each day in camp, so that’s what we’re still doing. We’ll see on April 7 if it’s enough.”

 

 

 

With an opponent who enters this fight on a seven-fight knockout streak, Williams knows he will have to use all of his physical and mental skills to pull out the victory.

 

 

 

“It’s going to be up to me what this fight looks like,” řekl Williams. “In the ring you have to be mature. I can’t get drawn into the kind of fight that he wants. If I stay focused, I should dominate him.

 

 

 

“I’m never going to look past anybody. I know that there’s nothing I can do in my future in this sport if I don’t beat Gallimore. I’m ready to go in there and look impressive on April 7.”

Here is what the fighters had to say Thursday from Wild Card Boxing Club:

 

JAMES DEGALE

 

 

 

“Výcvikový tábor byl fantastický. I rushed back from my shoulder injury in my last fight. I couldn’t believe I lost my title and I could only blame myself. I’m lucky to have this chance to make it right and regain my title.

 

 

 

“I’m injury-free now and physically ready for this fight. A co je nejdůležitější, I’m mentally ready for this challenge and I can’t wait to get in the ring.

 

 

 

“I learned that you can’t rush fitness. I had a reconstructive surgery and I came back far too quick. I learned my lesson the hard way. Now I have to get it back the hard way.

 

 

 

“Fighting in Las Vegas is another dream come true. So many great fights have been there and I just can’t wait. The atmosphere and the vibe will be special. I’m going to put on a fantastic performance and regain my title.

 

 

 

“Caleb Truax is not on my level. I’m miles above him. Dne 7 I’m going to show everyone why and show everyone what I’m all about.

 

 

 

“As soon as the doctor said that some athletes come back after six months from my injury, I was determined to fight in 2017. Everyone can see that I was slow in the ring. I was ashamed of my performance. It was embarrassing and I’m looking to erase that onApril 7.

 

 

 

“I’ve watched the first fight with Truax a couple of times but it’s very tough because I know that’s not me in there. For the past six weeks I’ve felt so much better. My jab is sharp again and everyone will see that when I become a two-time world champion.

 

 

 

“Truax has tasted what it’s like to be a world champion. He’s going to be hungry and have that burning desire to beat me. Konec konců, I’m just too good for him and I’m going to prove it. I have to make a statement.”

 

HUGO CENTENO JR.

 

 

 

“I’m feeling great right now. The rib injury was somewhat a blessing in disguise. It gave me a training camp for my training camp. Once I came back from the injury I was already in great shape. I feel great and I’m not depleted whatsoever. Já jsem 100 percent mentally ready for this fight.

 

 

 

“I was disappointed at first because I wanted this fight to happen so badly. I had a chance to regroup and talk with my team and they put me on the right direction. I’ve had a great camp and I believe everything happens for a reason.

 

 

 

“I don’t pay attention to anything people are saying about Charlo. I’m staying focused because I know that this fight can change my whole career. I’m ready to win.

 

 

 

“Charlo is a strong fighter. A lot of fighters stand in front of him but he’s also a great boxer. I feel like I have those same attributes that he has. It’s going to be a chess match and a great fight.

 

 

 

“We have to see who the smarter fighter is on April 21. I know Charlo says he’s going to knock me out in one round, I’m not planning to let him do that. If I get my opportunity, I’m going to take it and I’m going to hurt him.

 

 

 

“I learned from my loss that I can’t underestimate anyone in this sport. I’ve stayed in the ring and worked the whole time since the loss and it’s shown. Getting that big knockout over Immanuwel Aleem was a great moment and has helped catapult me back to the top of this division.

 

 

 

“This is the kind of fight I’ve looked forward to since I was seven years old. I’m just a kid from a small town trying to make his dream come true. Now the moment is finally here.”

 

NATHANIEL GALLIMORE

 

 

 

“I’m not worried about the IBF belt right now. I’m worried about Julian ‘J-Pebbles’ Williams on April 7. I see a lot of things from Williams. I see fear and I don’t think he’s totally there mentally. He should have taken harder fights before this one. This is the wrong fight for him.

 

 

 

 

“I’ve had seven knockouts in a row and this is going to be eight. It’s nice to stay active and be able to jump on an opportunity like this when it presents itself.

 

 

 

“It’s always important to put on a good show for the fans. I’m a showman. I give the fans what they want. All action.

 

 

 

 

“It doesn’t matter where I fight, budu připraven. I’m excited to go back to Las Vegas. This is my third time fighting there and I’m planning on making it 3-0.

 

 

 

 

“This is a new training camp. I’m working in Los Angeles with John Pullman and Buddy McGirt. The weather is good out here and I think everything is going in my favor. I love the atmosphere out here.”

OSSEO, MN (Březen 27, 2018) – IBF Super střední mistr světa Caleb “Zlatý” Truax shocked the boxing world when he defeated then champion James DeGale last December in London to claim his world title. Nyní, Truax prepares for an equally difficult task as he is set to defend the title in a rematch against DeGale Saturday, Duben 7 live on SHOWTIME from Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

 

 

 

Událost Premier Boxing Champions je v čele s Erislandy Lara, the longest reigning world champion at 154-pounds, clashing with undefeated champion Jarrett Hurd in a highly anticipated 154-pound world title unification bout. Showtime CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING televizní vysílání začíná 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT and features Julian Williams a Nathaniel Gallimore meeting in a 154-pound world title eliminator.

 

 

 

The Osseo, Minnesota-native was a significant underdog when he went on the road to the U.K. to challenge DeGale in his return from a shoulder injury. Truax was able to overcome his perceived disadvantages by seemingly catching DeGale off-guard and under prepared, something that he believes could happen again on April 7.

 

 

 

“I think DeGale overlooked me last time and I think he’s doing it again this time,” Said Truax. “I see him already talking about fighting David Benavidez and George Groves. Did he not learn his lesson the first time?

 

 

 

 

“I think his injury talk is an excuse as well. He said his arm and shoulder felt fine heading into and immediately after the fight last December. I don’t believe any of that injury talk. It means nothing to me.”

 

 

 

Truax put his small hometown in Minnesota on the boxing map with his championship-winning victory, but hasn’t let any newfound recognition change his routine or demeanor.

 

 

 

 

“The reaction here in Minnesota has been fantastic ever since I returned from London,” Said Truax. “Everybody at home has shown me so much love. I’ve definitely been busier than I used to be, and I suppose that comes with the territory, but I still stay pretty low-key. I have my routine and I love just being with my two-year-old daughter and the rest of my family and friends. Overall I’ve just tried to stay true to who I am and live the same lifestyle.”

 

 

 

 

A graduate of the University of Minnesota with a degree in Sociology, Truax is currently carrying the mantle for the Minnesota boxing scene and hopes that his victory can inspire it to grow. Truax is just the third Minnesota-born fighter to win a world title.

 

 

 

 

“Me capturing this world title has been huge for our boxing community here,” Said Truax. “I was the first guy since Will Grigsby in the 2000s to do it. There haven’t been many champions from here and people are excited to have another homegrown champion again. Hopefully this will get more people around here into gyms and the sport of boxing.”

 

 

 

 

 

Truax is now deep into training to prove that he has staying power as a champion by defeating DeGale for a second time.

 

 

 

 

“The great thing about the last fight is that I came out of it with no injuries,” Said Truax. “I was back in the gym before Christmas. Normally I only have about six weeks to prepare for an opponent. But this time around, we knew who we were coming back for and had a long time to prepare.

 

 

 

 

“We’re working on adjustments that we expect he’s making and things he’s probably doing to get better. We’ll see what he comes up with on fight night but it’ll be up to me to counter.”

 

 

 

 

With more time in training camp to prepare, the champion will look to improve on his impressive first performance and make another statement to the boxing world.

 

 

 

 

“I plan on applying pressure and seeing how he reacts,” Said Truax. “If he doesn’t’ upravit, then I don’t see it going any different than the first fight. I’m real confident I’m going to stop James DeGale this time.”
