Aici este ceea ce luptătorii au avut de spus Joi:
LEO SANTA CRUZ
“Headlining a televised card has been my childhood dream. I could have never imagined I was going to get this far. And Here I am, on my second main event, defending my title on a premium network. I’m so psyched. I cannot believe it.
“The first time I put the gloves on, I knew that I had found my craft, and I also knew that it was not going to be an easy road. I knew that I had to work hard to become a champion. Așa, I trained the hardest and I fought the hardest, and with my father by my side I got here, where I’m at today. I owe him everything.
“I remember watching all the great Mexican Champions and day dreaming about being like them one day. It felt unreachable. I thought it was impossible to get where they were. But I worked hard, really hard from the beginning.
“The most important thing is that the fans leave happy and get their money’s worth. I’m glad that Kiko has come prepared because we’re ready for a great fight.
“People are saying that I should walk through Kiko Martinez, but I don’t listen to that. I look at Kiko the same way I look at any other opponent. When we step inside the ring, we are equals.
"La sfârșitul zilei, the winner will be the fighter who has prepared more and who has imposed his will on the other man.
KIKO MARTINEZ
“I have faced much stronger boxers than Leo and come Sâmbătă, all of those who did bet on me for this fight, I am going to make you a lot of money.
“I am excited and proud to know that Sergio Martinez will be present sâmbăta supporting me. His guidance and presence
“My trainer could not be here, but we have not taken one day off in training camp and I have been pushed to my limit to prepare me for this fight. I’m thankful to Robert Garcia for being in my corner sâmbăta.
“I know this is a great opportunity to fight Leo Santa Cruz and I will make the most of it. I’m going to leave everything inside the ring so that the fight fans enjoy a great championship matchup.
“I feel that Leo Santa Cruz is a great fighter, he has beat some incredible fighters. He’s a great athlete and boxer. Sometimes people will try to make him out to be more than he actually is but they are mistaken with what they see in me. I am not to be mistaken as the underdog here.
JULIO CEJA
“As Hugo mentioned, we have both trained even harder than last time and we’re more prepared physically and mentally.
“I’m going to give everybody a great fight just like last time. I’m walking into the ring knowing my opponent very well. We’ve been to war. I know what to expect from him. I know about his punch and I know how to counter it.
“I’m going to be alert and ready. I’ll be a little more intelligent, because I know that he’s coming well prepared and he’s coming for the world title, but he’s not going to get it.
“There are going to be no surprises in this fight. Hugo Ruiz said that he was training harder this time. But I am too. I’ve trained very hard.
“The key for me to win this fight is to keep my hands up and to not give him one inch. I cannot be careless. I’ll be strategic and use my wisdom. I cannot come in with my hands down because I know I’ll pay for it. But nothing to worry about, we have rectified those issues in training camp. Sunt gata. He’s not taking my belt away from me.
“I’m glad that he says he is better prepared this time because I am better than ever. My team has been instrumental in preparing me for this matchup.
“The winner will be the man who is more prepared physically and mentally. But the real winner will be the fans at Honda Center because this is an amazing card and we’re going to put on an amazing fight.”
HUGO RUIZ
“If you liked the first fight between us, then you are going to love this one.
“I’m excited to be fighting once again in Southern California. I’ve trained very hard and I have prepared myself for this world title opportunity.
“I’m looking forward to putting on a grand show for all my fans sâmbăta noapte. "
JOSE SANTA CRUZ, Santa Cruz’ Father & Antrenor
“I hear Kiko has a great trainer on his corner. Robert Garcia is really good, but I have news for Kiko, his trainer is not going to fight for him.
“Once a fighter steps into the ring, he’s alone in there. There are no trainers and no great promoters that can fight for him.”
“Kiko speaks about this prestigious trainer and thinks that by mentioning him, he is going to intimidate us. He has something else coming. The trainer won’t fight for Kiko. Roberto Garcia has trained my son and knows Leo very well but that does not give Kiko the upper hand.”
TOM BROWN, Head of TGB Promotions
“Southern California favorite Leo Santa Cruz returns to bring his action style to the ring. He will be opposed by a tough former world champion in Kiko Martinez who is sure to make this a tremendous fight.
“The first fight between Ceja and Ruiz was a true back and forth war. Should this pick up right where it left off, we will have a great fight to start the telecast.
“I’m looking forward to a great night sâmbăta night in front of the fantastic Southern California boxing fans.”
TIM RYAN, CEO & President of Honda Center
“I’m so thankful to everyone for helping to bring boxing back to Orange County. It’s hard to believe that Julio Cesar Chavez fought here in 1996, because it seems like yesterday.
“We have a great arena and a great fan base that loves boxing here in Orange County. Cardul sâmbăta is wonderful. I know these guys will be ready and I’m looking forward to an action-packed night on the 27lea.
CHRIS DEBLASIO, Vice-Președinte, Sports Communication Showtime Networks
“This is a fight fan’s fight card and we are looking forward to some explosive action. I think everyone knows that the lighter weight classes, especially at the championship level, produce exciting fights. My favorite examples include the epic series between Israel Vazquez and Rafael Marquez, which are available on SHOWTIME platforms and should wet your appetite for what we will see sâmbăta noapte. "

ANAHEIM, Calif. (Februarie. 16, 2016) – Spain’s Kiko “Sensación” Martinez is a soft-spoken, hard-hitting former IBF Super Bantamweight World Champion and a three-time European champion at 122 de lire sterline. He’s a come-forward, comes-to-win, aggressive-minded slugger who makes for exciting fights and has been in with excellent opposition.
The ultimate road warrior, the 5-foot-5, 29-year-old Martinez has fought more than one-third of his fights outside his native Spain, where he has tussled 26 ori. He’s also fought four times in Ireland, three times in England, three times in Northern Ireland and one time each in Japan, Argentina, France and South Africa.
So don’t expect Martinez (35-6, 26 KO) to be in awe of the surroundings in his second start in the United States when he challenges unbeaten, defending featherweight world champion Leo Santa Cruz (31-0-1, 17 KO) pe Sâmbătă, Februarie. 27, în evenimentul principal al unui SHOWTIME Campionatul BOX tripleheader trăiesc pe ARATĂ TIMPUL (10 p.m. ȘI/7 p.m. PT) from Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif.
Martinez won his U.S. debut and the IBF 122-pound crown with a sixth-round TKO overJhonatan Romero pe august. 17, 2013. “That was a great night for me,’’ Martinez said. “I’m confident of another great performance on Feb. 27.''
A winner of three in a row in his homeland, including a fourth-round TKO over Miguel Gonzalez ultimul Decembrie. 12, Martinez aims to make amends after losing three high-profile fights in recent years to super bantamweight world champions – twice to Carl Frampton(IBF) and once to Scott QUIGG (WBA).
Martinez gets an opportunity against Santa Cruz in a fight he never saw coming.
“I’m thrilled to be fighting Leo Santa Cruz, but getting this fight was a total surprise because I already had a fight scheduled,’’ said Martinez, who trains at his friend and manager, former world super middleweight champion Sergio Martinez’ gym in Spain. “I had been scheduled to fight for the European title. When this opportunity came up, I decided to give up the European title to come to America.
“I was very happy and very emotional when I heard about this fight. It was one of the best days of my life when I agreed to fight Santa Cruz. Acum, more boxing fans will get to see me. I will not take one step back. I will come forward the whole fight.
“I’m thankful to SHOWTIME and I’m excited for the challenge. It’s a huge fight in the United States and a great opportunity. Some people don’t think I can fight because I lost to those guys [Frampton and Quigg], but they are wrong. I am as determined as ever. I’m going to fight a great fight and come out with a victory.’’
While respectful of the champion, Martinez is no stranger to fighting on foreign soil and is poised to pull off a stunner.
“I will surprise many people who don’t believe in me,'', A spus el. “I’m working so hard for this fight. People doubting me has me even more motivated. They will see on Feb. 27 and everyone will change their minds.
“I love fighting in my opponent’s backyard. That is not a problem for me at all. People who know boxing know I will give everything to this sport. I want to give great shows and entertain people. I’m coming forward and throwing punches and I don’t give up.
“I’m going to give 100 percent and it’s going to be a tremendous fight. I have a ton of respect for Leo Santa Cruz. He’s a world champion and a great fighter who’s clearly one of the very best featherweights in the world and a Top 10 lira-pentru-lire luptator. I am very conscious of that point.
“Leo and I are true warriors so this will be a brutal war. But I have what it takes. I’ve been working very hard with my longtime trainer, Gaby Sarmiento, and I will be victorious.’’
A lifelong resident of Spain, Martinez was born in Granada, Spania, and resides in Alicante. He has two sisters and two brothers but is the only one in the family who boxes professionally. He turned to boxing as a young teenager.
“I started in boxing because when I was about 13 I was smaller and other kids bullied me all the time. So I began looking for a way to learn to defend myself,'', A spus el. “Once I decided to start boxing and dedicated myself to it I fell in love with the sport.’’
Ca un amator, Martinez went 47-2 and won a Spanish national amateur championship, but he had no international amateur experience. “I had a good amateur career but never thought about the Olympics,'', A spus el. “My mind was always on being a pro fighter.’’
A dangerous puncher who’s at his best when he pressures his opponents and wears them down, Martinez turned pro in June 2004. He was victorious in his initial 17 lupte, winning all but three by knockout.
Martinez met Sergio Martinez [no relation] about nine years ago. “I met Sergio in the gym in Spain that he used to train himself in and we became good friends. When I started boxing I looked up to Julio Cesar Chavez and I am now a big fan of Marcos Maidana. I like to fight like him.
“But I’ve always had a special relationship with Sergio, who inspired me because he came from poverty like me. He has taught me so much. It’s like looking into a mirror because he knows where I came from. He’s taught me so much inside and outside the ring. We were very poor growing up and my father worked very hard.’’
Dacă triumfător, Kiko Martinez says “I would like to stay at this weight because I feel much stronger. But I would definitely love a rematch with Frampton or Quigg.’’
Regarding the Frampton-Quigg 122-pound world title unification that also takes place onFebruarie. 27 (în Manchester, Anglia, trăi pe SHOWTIME EXTREME®), Martinez didn’t hesitate when picking a winner.
“Frampton will win against Quigg,’’ Martinez said. “He’s the more complete boxer. He is stronger as well.”

Quebec City, Canada (Noiembrie. 29, 2015) - James DeGale apărat mijlocie Campionatul Mondial IBF lui Super într-un thriller de peste orașul natal favorit și fostul campion Lucian Bute sâmbăta în evenimentul principal al SHOWTIME Campionatul BOX.
Acesta a fost primul titlu pentru apărarea DeGale, the 2008 Medaliat olimpic de aur de la Marea Britanie care a mers pe drumul spre Boston pentru a câștiga titlul la inceputul acestui an si a ales să-și apere teritoriul ostil.
Bute, care a fost încercarea de a câștiga înapoi centura IBF a apărat de nouă ori între 2007 și 2012, put on an inspired and gutsy performance in an electric atmosphere to open the new Videotron Centre in Quebec City. But the unbelievable pace, precum și un arsenal de drepturi overhand, fotografii corpului și combo-uri de la DeGale mai mic (22-1, 14 KO) sa dovedit a fi diferenta ca DeGale prevalat 116-112, 117-111 (de două ori).
"Sunt tânără și eu sunt în stare proaspătă. Sunt ajungând chiar acum,” DeGale said. “I’m ready for the best in the world. Credit pentru Bute – el este un mare campion si crede-ma, el va fi din nou. "
"Cum am mai spus în trecut, el este un luptător de clasă mondială. Am încă lucruri pentru a lucra la în următorii trei sau patru ani și am de gând să fie cel mai bun mea. "
Bute (32-3, 25 KO) didn’t look anything like the fighter that lost to Carl Froch in 2012. But while the 35-year-old stalked the switch-hitting DeGale with a relentless attack, el nu a putut face suficient pentru a învinge britanicul suprem activ, care a aruncat 524 pumni energie în comparație cu 278 pentru Bute.
“I think it was a great fight. I did my best tonight,” Bute said. “I think it was a close fight. He’s an Olympic champion, he’s a world champion. If the judges give him the decision I respect that. I’ll be back in the gym to work hard and continue to fight. I think it was a very close fight. I’m happy with my performance and I’ll be back in the gym to get back in the ring one more time.
“The last three years were difficult for me. After I lost to Carl Froch that was a very difficult period for me. I took a break, and now I’m back. Mă simt minunat, Mă simt sănătos și acum am o șansă mai mult pentru a fi din nou pe partea de sus.
“Maybe a few rounds I waited too much and didn’t put the punches together and I let James fight me. When I pushed pressure and pushed back I won the round.”
În meciul de deschidere pe SHOWTIME Campionatul BOX, Eleider Alvarez a câștigat dreptul de a face față WBC semigrea campion mondial Adonis Stevenson cu o decizie majoritară aproape peste Isaac Chilemba, marcat 114-114, 118-110, 115-113.
Alvarez, clasat pe locul nr. 2 de WBC la 175 de lire sterline, început rapid și buzunar runde împotriva nr. 1 ranked contender Chilemba. But Chilemba weathered the storm and fought his way back in the fight as Alvarez couldn’t keep up the pace he established in the earlier rounds.
Ambele luptatori a venit cu un sentiment de urgență în 12lea și decide strofă și dacă Chilemba a câștigat finala lupta ar fi fost exclus o remiză.
"Am știut că trebuie să termin rundele ulterioare puternice, dar cred că am făcut suficient pentru a câștiga lupta,” Alvarez said. “I’m ready to accept the challenge and face Stevenson. Pentru a fi campion mondial, va trebui să bată campioana. Deci, asta e ceea ce am scopul de a face. "
Mark a susținut că ALVAREZ, care luptă din apropiere Montreal, a fost beneficiarul unei "decizii orașul natal,"Deși judecătorul care a condus lupta cu o remiză a fost un local și celelalte două au fost de la teritorii neutre.
"Am crezut că am făcut suficient pentru a câștiga,” Chilemba said. “But it is what it is. Cred că se poate numi o decizie orașul natal. "
După lupta, Gazdă Showtime Sports Brian Custer se așeză cu Stevenson pentru a obține gândurile sale pe Alvarez-Chilemba și viitorul său.
"A fost o luptă fizică aproape,” Stevenson said. "El (Alvarez) a câștigat această luptă, dar a fost foarte aproape. "
"Noi vorbim despre Kovalev, deoarece WBC încă îl situează pe locul nr. 1 pretendent. Vreau această luptă să se întâmple. The fans want it to happen. I said June is perfect for me. He said ‘OK, Iunie,"Kathy Duva a spus" Nici o problemă, June.’ Then she said on HBO. I-am spus, "Uita televizoare, let them talk.’ We want the fight to happen. Let the TVs work together and make it happen.
“I want to fight Kovalev. That’s the best opportunity for me because I want his titles. For sure, this fight will happen in June. I don’t have a problem; my team doesn’t have a problem. I want this fight in June.
Kovalev is scared. I talked to him, saw it in his eyes that he’s scared of me. It will happen, but I know Kovalev is scared. I want Kovalev. I’m very hungry to get his titles.”
Adrian Granados a supraviețuit o trântă primul tur la șoc neînvinsă perspectivă foarte usoare Amir Imam in meciul de deschidere de SHOWTIME BOX ON SHO EXTREME cu un TKO runda a opta (2:34).
A fost o înfrângere zdrobitoare pentru Imam, care a intrat în lupta ca nr. 1 challenger obligatoriu la WBC Super Lightweight campionul mondial Viktor Postol.
Imam looked like he was going to finish the fight early after a nice left-right combo floored the Chicago native. But after escaping the first, Granados dictat tempo-ul a luptei, worked the inside and prevented Imam – considered one of boxing’s most talented young contenders – from establishing his jab. With Imam unable to keep the fight at a distance, Granados picked apart the Don King-promoted fighter. After seven rounds of punishment and Iman gasping for air against the ropes Granados finished his opponent with a series of devastating combo shots.
Un Granados entuziasmat (15-3-2, 10 KO), care are pierderi luptatori cu un record de combinat 49-0, a pledat cazul său pentru a deveni challenger obligatoriu.
"Cred că ar trebui să fie obligatorie Challenger,” Granados said. “He was in line and I stopped him. Ce înseamnă asta? Come on. I was the underdog, dar am venit să-l ia. Am venit să-l ia.
"Se simte o mare. După ce am avut l-wobbled am fost ca, "Le-ați luat să-l acum. This time you’re not taking it from me.’ It was a flash knockdown. El a prins cu mâna dreaptă, dar am fost bine. Am apărut până și știam că a fost de gând să încerce și să termin mine. Am ieșit din ea și a ajuns întorc la muncă. "
În ciuda pierderii demoralizator, Am (18-1, 15 KO) nu regreta o luptă care-l va bate probabil din titlu susținute.
"Știu că oamenii ar putea spune că nu ar fi trebuit să această luptă, dar am nevoie de aceasta lupta intre ca tune-up pentru urmatorul meu luptă pentru că nu am vrut să aștepte pentru șase până la opt luni pentru titlul mondial împușcat.
"Cheia luptei a fost baga mea, Eu doar nu l-am folosi destul,” Imam said. “But that’s the way it goes and I’m going to definitely come back stronger. I wasn’t thinking anything after that first-round knockdown. I’ve done that many times and didn’t think the fight was over. I wasn’t surprised at all by the way he came out. Știu cum luptă. E un luptător bun și asta e tot acolo este să-l. "
