Пакьяо, әдеттегідей, жеңіліске мейірімді болды.
«Угасты және оның командасын құттықтаймыз,- деді Пакьяо. «Барлықтарыңызға рахмет. Барлық жанкүйерлеріме және БАҚ өкілдеріне алғыс айтқым келеді. Көптеген ондаған жылдар бойы, баспасөз, БАҚ пен бокс жанкүйерлері әрқашан артымызда болды, бізді қолдайды. Сондықтан біз осындамыз, Неліктен біз танымал болдық және неге біз күрескер ретінде армандарымызды орындадық.
«Мен рингтің сыртында да, ішінде де күрескермін. Мен Филиппинге оралуды және осы пандемия кезінде оларға көмектесуді асыға күтемін ».
Угас оның өлшемін пайдаланды, Пакьяоны болжау үшін күш пен ұзындық, шешуші түрде жеңіске жету үшін бокстағы сегіз дивизионнан тұратын жалғыз чемпионды баяу кию.
Пакьяо, 42 (67-8-2, 39 КО), жылдам бастауға уәде беріп, біріншісінде сөзінде тұрды, комбинациялар арқылы кіріп-шығады. Ашусыз, 35 жастағы Угас (27-4, 12 КО) қатаң күзет жүргізді. Екінші, ол өзінің ұзын сол жақ жамбасын ашты, Пакьяо ішке кіруге тырысқанда, оны жоғары және төмен ауыстырды.
Пакьяо үшінші ойынды қысқа солға бұрумен бастады, бірақ Угас өзінің күшті соққыларымен көпшілікті тындырды.. Кубалық төртіншіден оңға қарай қонуға кірісті, Пакьяо түні бойы күресті.
Бесіншіден кейін, Угас алтыншы кезеңде қайтадан басымдылыққа ие болды, шаншуды өңдеу және денеге дұрыс орналастырылған соққыларды жеткізу.

«Менің жаттықтырушым, Ismael Salas, және менің жоспарым бар еді,», - деді Угас. «Біз оны көшіреміз деп едік; біз дөңгелекті пайдаланып, оны тепе-теңдіктен сақтайтын болдық. Бұл бүкіл ойын жоспары болды ».
Угас сегізіншісін басқарды, және шулы аудитория Угастың жазалау құқықтарына жауап берді. Ұрыстың сырғып бара жатқанын сезу, Тоғызыншы кезеңде Пакьяо қарқынын арттырды. Қимылсыз, Қатты соққылар Угастан келді.
Ертеде 10ші, Пакьяо кетіп қалды. Импульс қысқа мерзімді болды. Угас енді өз құқығы үшін үй тауып, оны жүйелі түрде лақтырып жатты. The 12ші әсіресе біржақты болды. Ugas бірнеше рет оң жаққа қонды, Пакьяоны бірнеше рет ренжітіп, сол көзінің жанындағы кесінді ашты.
«Оң қол мен Мэнниге қолдануды жоспарлаған оқ болды,», - деді Угас. «Ол жұмыс істей берді, сондықтан мен оны қолдана бердім».
Қоңырау соғылғанда жеңіске жеткен Угас жеңгесін құшағына алды. Moments кейінірек, Үш төреші жекпе-жекті оның пайдасына шешті, бір айналым а 115-113 қалған екеуінде болса, карта 116-112.
«Болашақта, Сіз Мэнни Пакьяоны рингте көрмеуіңіз мүмкін,- деді Пакьяо. «Мен білмеймін. Алдымен маған демалуға рұқсат етіңіз, демалыңыз және мен күресуді жалғастырамын ба, жоқ па, шешім қабылдаңыз ».
«Ол аңыз, өмір сүрген ең ұлы жауынгерлердің бірі,«Угас қарсыласы туралы айтты. «Мен оны тек тамаша боксшы ретінде ғана емес, рингтен тыс жерде де құрметтеймін. Оның елі үшін күресетініне де тәнтімін, мен сияқты. Мен Кубаны азат еткім келеді».
CO-басты жағдайда, Роберт «Елес» Герреро (37-6-1, 20 КО) 10 раундтық бірауыздан шешім қабылдау үшін күресті «Зұлым» Виктор Ортис (32-7-3, 25 КО).
Үш төреші де есеп берді 96-94.
«Жанкүйерлермен бірге рингке қайта оралу жақсы болды және мен олардың энергиясына қанықтым,», - деді Герреро. “Мен бұл жаппай соғыс болатынын білдім. Виктор Ортис бүгін кешке менің ең жақсысын әкелді. Бұл бүкіл жекпе-жек бойы алға-артқа болды және мен болжағанымдай бірінші орынға шықтым ».
Әрекеттің көп бөлігі Герреро таза соққыларды түсірген жерде болды. Сезімтал ашудан кейін, Герреро екіншісінде тірі қалды, күшті түсірілімдер сериясымен таң қалдыратын Ортиз.
Раунд артынан раунд, екі бұрынғы әлем чемпионы қысқа соққыларды түсіріп, әрқайсысы кері қадам жасаудан бас тартты. Герреро өз өнерін мықтылықпен аяқтады 10ші жақтау, бұл карталардағы айырмашылықты көрсетті.
“Мен жеңіп ойладым. Болған іс болды,», - деді Ортиз. «Бұл төбелес болды. Ол мені ренжіткен жоқ. Бірнеше рет мен тепе-теңдікті ұстадым, бірақ солай болды. Мен сәл жақсырақ бокспен айналысуым керек еді, бірақ эй, ол өзіне қажет нәрсені істеді ».
“Енді мен олар менің алдымда тұрған кез келген адаммен күресуге дайынмын,», - деді Герреро. «Менде көп нәрсе қалды және мен тағы бір әлем чемпионы атағын алу үшін осы спорт түрімен айналысамын. Мен бұл күресті өз отбасыма арнаймын және бар даңқты мырзам әрі Құтқарушым Иса Мәсіхке беремін».
Жұлдызды қойылымда, «Магнифико» Магсайоны белгілеңіз (23-0, 16 КО) Филиппиндіктер керемет нокаутқа қол жеткізді Шілде Ceja (32-5-1, 28 КО), бұрынғы әлем чемпионын алаңға шығару 10ші олардың WBC жеңіл салмақтағы титулды жою раунды.
«Мен тікелей соққыларда көп жұмыс істедім,— деді Магсайо. «Мен оны қайта-қайта жұмыс істей бердім, мен оның жарақат алғанын көргенде, Мен соңынан ердім.
«Мен нәтижеге өте қуаныштымын. Мен оның стилі орындалады деп күттім және бүгін түнде нокаут болады деп күттім».
Магсайоның сол жақ ілгегі Сежаны жерге түсіргенде, бұл ерте түн сияқты көрінді.. Мексикалық Сеха ойынмен көтеріліп, жекпе-жекке қайта кірісті, Магсайоны қабырғаларға біріктіру арқылы баяулату.
Сежаның жұмысы бесінші айдың соңында оң жақ жоғарғы кесу Магсайоны кенепке енгізген кезде өз жемісін берді.. 26 жастағы жалқау жігіт орнынан тұрды. Біраз уақыттан кейін қоңырау соғылды.
Сежа алтыншы және жетінші кезеңде денеге тастап шабуыл жасады, бірақ екінші желді кеш тапқан Магсайо болды.. Оның жылдам қолдары мен аяқтары сегізіншіде әрекетті жазуға мүмкіндік берді. Ол одан да жақсырақ тоғызыншы болды, оның сол жағын ілгектер мен ілгектер түрінде жыпылықтайды.
Күрес тепе-теңдікте ілулі тұрған сияқты, Магсайо мұның барлығын оныншыда қалдырды. Сежа арқан бойына пана іздеген кезде, Магсайо мексикалықтың иегіндегі мінсіз бір-екі қызаруды ашты.. Сежа кілемшеге салбырап қалды, басқа құқық арқылы көмектесті. Есеп қажет емес еді. Төреші Кенни Бейлесс жекпе-жекті аяқтады 0:50 туралы 10ші дөңгелек.
«Мен құлап қалдым және таң қалдым, бірақ мен ойымды өзім қалаған нәрсеге аудардым, әлем чемпионатының кадры,— деді Магсайо. «Бұл менің бүгінгі арманым, енді ол орындалып жатыр. Менің келесі жекпе-жегім әлем чемпионы атағын жеңеді деп үміттенемін».
Көру үшін төлемді ашу құралында, Карлос Кастро (27-0, 11 КО) мансабындағы ең жақсы көрсеткішке айналды, бұрынғы әлем чемпионы атағын тоқтату Оскар Эскандон (26-6, 18 КО) жылы 10ші олардың жартылай жеңіл салмақтағы кездесуінің раунды.
«Эскандон онда ең жақсыларымен бірге болды. Ол әлем чемпиондарымен талай раунд өтті,», - деді Кастро. «Бірақ бұл уақыт мәселесі болды, соққыларымызды таңдау. Мен кадрларыма тағы біраз отырдым. Мен Мэнни Роблспен төрт ай ғана болдым. Тағы біраз уақытпен, Біз дивизионда үстемдік ете аламыз деп ойлаймын».
Кастро Эскандонды ерте ұстау үшін бойы мен қолын пайдаланды. Эскандон ойын бойы болды. Біріншіден кеш, ол Кастроны арқанға қадап, қатты сол жақ ілмекпен бекітті.
«Мен бұл баяу басталатынын білдім,- деді Кастро. «Мэнни Роблес маған көп нәрсені үйретті, бірақ рингтен бір жарым жыл өтті, жаңа жаттықтырушы - бұл әрқашан басқаша. Спарринг пен жаттығу әрқашан жекпе-жектен ерекшеленеді, сондықтан мен өзімді керемет және мүмкіндік үшін бақытты сезінемін. Мен алға жылжуым керек ».
Екіншісінің басында, Кастро өз соққысын және уақытылы аяқпен жұмыс істеуге қайта оралды. Оның соққысы әр раунд өткен сайын артты.
Эскандон бесіншіде тозу белгілерін көрсете бастады. Кастро енді басы мен денесіне жүйелі түрде қонды. Жетінші жылдың басында, Эскандонды оң қолы қатты шайқады. Кастро ұрды, қуатты түсіру сериясын түсіру. Эскандон сол жақ ілмекпен қарсы шықты. Соққының күші Эскандонды кенепке итермеледі. Төреші Селестино Руис оны нокдаун деп дұрыс емес деп тапты, ол кейіннен төңкеріліп, сырғанау деп танылды.
Кастро шоуды жабуға тырысты, бірақ Эскандон керемет жүректі көрсетті, Кастро шегінуге мәжбүр болғанша онымен күресті. Жиналғандар раундтың соңында мақұлдады.
Кастро тоғызыншыда үстемдігін жалғастырды. Ол шоуды онында жапты, тағы бір үлкен құқыққа қонды, содан кейін Кастроны жерге тигізген волейбол. Руис мейіріммен қол бұлғады 1:08 туралы 10ші дөңгелек.
«Мен жан-тәніммен күресіп, бар күшімді салдым, бірақ бұл менің түнім емес еді,», - деді Кастро. «Мен оны бірінші раундта жарақаттадым, бірақ оны аяқтауға уақытым болмады. Мен Кастроға үлкен құрмет көрсетемін, ол тамаша күрескер және тамаша спорттық шеберлік көрсетті. Мен біткен жоқпын және қайтып келемін ».
«Ары қарай менің промоутерлерім,- деді Кастро. «Мен отбасыммен уақыт өткізу үшін біраз уақыт аламын, Жаттықтырушыларыма алғыс айтамын және жеңістен ләззат алыңдар».

(Тамыз 14, 2021) – WBO Bantamweight World ChampionJohn Riel Casimerodefeated two-division championГильермо Ригондо to retain his title Saturday night live on SHOWTIME headlining a Premier Boxing Champions event from Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Калифорния.
A three-division world champion, Casimero (31-4, 21 КО) made his second successful title defense at 118-pounds, earning a career-best victory over the longtime 122-pound champion Rigondeaux (20-2, 13 КО), who moved down to bantamweight in 2020.
“I’m excited to get the win,” said Casimero. “Rigondeaux is a good boxer and two-time Olympic gold medalist. I was worried, because he said he wouldn’t run, but he ran the whole time.”
The bout started with an eventful first round, in which it appeared for a moment that a Casimero left hook to the back of Rigondeaux’s head would lead to a knockdown, but referee Jerry Cantu ruled the moment a slip. During the exchange, Casimero threw several punches while Rigondeaux was on one knee, earning a warning from the referee.
From that point on, Rigondeaux remained steadfast to a defensive strategy that saw Casimero forced to chase his opponent around the ring. Сонымен қатар, Casimero stayed dedicated to pushing forward, looking to slow Rigondeaux down with body shots to set up power shots to the head.
“My expectations were for a knockout,” said Casimero. “Me and all my fans wanted that. I did my best to knock him out, but he was just running and not fighting.”
Rigondeaux was content countering his charging opponent, doing a majority of his damage with variations of his dangerous left hand. In a bout with numerous close rounds, Casimero ended the fight with a narrow 47 қарай 44 edge in punches landed, қоса алғанда, 41-28 tally in power punches.
Those power punches and sustained aggression proved to be enough for Casimero to hold onto his 118-pound title in the eyes of the judges, as scores of 117-111 мен 116-112 overruled one judge’s 115-113 card in favor of Rigondeaux. While Rigondeaux disputed the decision, Casimero looked forward to potential unification clashes with WBC champion Nonito Donaire and WBA and IBF titleholder Naoya Inoue.
“Nobody wants to fight with me because I frustrate them in the ring,” said Rigondeaux. “I landed the punches that I needed to in order to win the fight tonight. This is how I win. I have these God-given skills and this is the way I display them. I’m a unique fighter. It’s my style and it’s the only one I know. You can see I’m still better than anyone else in the lighter weight classes and I’m going to keep fighting.”
“I had a three-fight plan,” said Casimero. “First was Rigondeaux, and I beat him. Next is Nonito Donaire and then finally Naoya Inoue.”
The co-main event saw rising contenderGary Антонио Russell (18-0, 12 КО) және бұрынғы әлем чемпионы Эммануэль Rodriguez (19-2, 12 КО) fight to a no-decision just 16 seconds into the first round of their 118-pound matchup, after an accidental headbutt injured Rodriguez and ended the fight.
“It happens,” said Russell. “I was looking to establish my jab and I tried to set up a hook, and he came in at the same time. It’s very disappointing.”
“I feel okay,” said Rodriguez. “I’m a little frustrated after putting in all this work for the fight to end so quickly with nothing happening. With the headbutt, maybe if there was no blood, we would have been able to continue. But once I saw all the blood, I knew it was over.”
The crossroads battle for the Interim WBA Bantamweight Title was meant to offer Russell a chance to establish himself as a true title contender and give Rodriguez an opportunity to move one step closer to becoming a two-division champion. Rodriguez attempted to counter an incoming Russell attack, which led to the two southpaws clashing heads.
“I was actually in camp for about four months,” said Russell. “I prepared great for this fight. I was really looking to broadcast my talents and show everyone what’s in my arsenal. Өкінішке орай, the headbutt happened.”
Rodriguez fell to the canvas immediately and was bleeding from his nose, prompting referee Sharon Sands to wave off the bout, which was ruled a no-decision.
“Әрине, I would like to come right back,” said Russell. “If he can do it, I want to get right back in there with Rodriguez.”
“I don’t want to lose the condition that I’m in,” said Rodriguez. “I prepared really hard for this fight. As soon as the injury is fixed, I’ll be back in the ring and I’d like to fight Russell again.”
Ашылу шайқаста, бұрынғы әлем чемпионы Rau'shee Уоррен (19-3, 5 КО) үстемдік Damien Vazquez (16-3-1, 12 КО) on his way to a second-round stoppage in their bantamweight showdown. Warren scored his first knockout victory since 2015, after going the distance in his previous eight fights.
“I was trying to show them something different this time around,” said Warren. “I have always had the power, but this training camp was very different. I was sitting on my punches and working on something different. It worked in the ring.
“I always knew I had that power and I always knew I had that speed. It’s just about taking your time in the ring and letting them come. When I saw the opportunity, I went for it.”
A three-time U.S. Олимпиадашы, Warren came out fast in the first round, using his speed advantage to beat Vazquez to the punch, connecting with a right hand midway through the frame that scored the fight’s first knockdown. Vazquez was able to rise to his feet, but was sent to the canvas for a second time moments later by another sharp right hand from Warren.
Cincinnati’s Warren landed an astounding 22 туралы 39 power punches in that first round, and continued his dominance into the second. Warren perfectly timed a straight left hand that badly rocked Vazquez, forcing referee Ray Corona to jump in and halt the bout at 2:18 Екінші раундта.
“Next fight is a title fight,” said Warren. “I am the number one contender for the WBA. I want to thank my team for putting me in this position and pushing me. They know what kind of fighter I am. I am going to be champion. Next fight I am grabbing that title. Maybe I will fight the winner of the main event tonight (Ригондо В.С.. Casimero).«

“A win here puts me in a position to get in contention for a world title, and that should be the goal of everyone who is fighting, to win a world title. If you’re not fighting to win a world title, you shouldn’t be in the sport. I want to win at least one more world title before it’s all said and done. It’s a lofty goal, but I believe in myself.”

Here is what Rigondeaux had to say about training camp with Ronnie Shields and more:
On his upcoming matchup with John Riel Casimero:“It has been a very focused camp, and I have found inspiration watching the Olympics, and it has lit a spark in me. Winning two gold medals in my early years gives me added incentive to win this fight. I want to prove to the world that I am one of the best boxers ever, and that I have a lot left to give in this sport. I am confident that I am going to do that against the most avoided fighter in my weight class. Casimero is a dangerous fighter and a very powerful puncher, but I’m going to tame him with great boxing skills.”
On his recent training camp with coach Ronnie Shields:“Training in Texas with Ronnie Shields has been great and our energy working together is fantastic. Ronnie has had a lot of world champions, and has a very professional boxing gym, with a lot of world champions and fighters who are competing at the highest level of the sport. I am motivated to work hard, not just to reach my own goals, but by all the young fighters in the gym who are driven and focused. The atmosphere has brought something new out of me. I’m revived and feeling young again.”
On fighting for WBO world title:“It always feels good fighting for a world title, and I have had the WBO title before after I beat Nonito Donaire, but this time I’m going up against a hungry young lion. I am looking to capture another world title, and give another great fight that fans will talk about for years.”
On returning to the ring after a year-long layoff:“I feel good. I think at this point in my career, all the time away from the ring helps. I know how to fight and I know how to train, the big thing is knowing how to recover, and not damage my body. I am doing a good job at staying sharp in the gym, but not over training. A win against Casimero will do wonders for my career.”

Here is what Pacquiao, Freddie Roach and Buboy Fernandez had to say Wednesday:
Мэнни Пакьяо
“I’m expecting a good fight. Spence is an aggressive fighter and I know that we can create a lot of action in the ring for all of the fans watching. I have lots of advantages in this fight. My speed and power, along with my strategy and experience, are all advantages for me.
“I never imagined being at this point now, when I started my career. Especially to be here now and still fighting the best. It’s truly a gift that I’ve received.
“It’s been two years since I’ve been in the ring and it was good for me to have that rest. It helped my body and my mind a lot. This time around, I’m as excited as ever and feeling like I’m young again.
“I could have fought several easy opponents. I picked the best opponent because I want to add more to my legacy and accomplishments. I have to prove that I’m not done yet.
“We have a strategy that we know how to use against a southpaw. He wants to fight toe-to-toe and that’s going to be to my advantage. We’re prepared for anything. If he wants to use his reach advantage instead, we are ready.
“My family is so supportive of me, because they know that I want to fight and bring honor to my country. Сонымен қатар, I’m also here to show for myself that I can still do it at 42-years-old.
“This could be my last fight, or there could be more. Like I’ve always said, it’s one at a time. Күрес кейін, I’ll talk about the plan and see if there’s another fight coming.
“I’m happy to have been doing this for so long with the same coaching staff. I know that they’re happy with my preparations for this fight. The fire in training is still there. It’s the same as it’s been these last 15 жыл.
“I know my career will not last forever, that’s why I’m starting to help the young fighters in this sport who want to follow in my footsteps. It’s very important to me at this point in my career.”
Фредди Роуч
“We took this fight because we think that Errol Spence Jr. is one of the best fighters out there. I’ve talked with Manny throughout the years and he’s always said that he wants to be the best at what he does. There’s no sense in getting in there with some popular fighter who’s no good. We want to fight the best. I congratulated Many when he chose to fight Errol.
“Being out of the ring for a little while can go either way with someone like Manny. The thing is, he’s working out all the time. He shows me everything that he’s up to when he’s in the Philippines and I just give him little adjustments. When he shows up here, he’s ready to go.
“He had probably his best sparring yesterday, we went ten rounds and he got two knockdowns. It was the old Manny Pacquiao from 10 бірнеше жылдар бұрын. He’s not as big of a puncher usually at welterweight, but those knockdowns yesterday were a great boost for him.
“Spence is a good boxer, but he’s a very good puncher. We know that when we get inside, we have to be smart getting back outside. It has to be quick combinations and then out right away.
“I told Manny that knocking down Keith Thurman early gave him a lot of momentum in that fight and I’d like to see that again in this fight. He knows that he has to use his speed to do that. He understands completely what I want.
“Manny Pacquiao has always loved to fight southpaws. He understands how they work and what they want to do. That’s really one of the big reasons we took this fight.
“I think Manny is going to out box Spence. His footspeed is unbelievable and much better than his opponent’s. Spence follows you around and is heavy on his feet. He seems very set to the ground. Manny’s speed will overwhelm him. I’m really happy with the game plan so far.”
BUBOY FERNANDEZ
“I was very excited when I heard about this fight because Errol Spence Jr. үлкен жауынгер. I was only surprised because Manny hasn’t fought in two years. But I knew right away that this is going to be an exciting fight.
“Obviously there is a different Manny because of his age, but his mind is always on the sport. Before we arrived in the United States, we had already been sparring and training in the Philippines.
“The team has been very happy with Manny’s performance in camp. The conditioning is going perfectly and we just need to continue. This is going to be 100% Manny Pacquiao on August 21.
“I can’t decide if this is going to be Manny’s last fight. Only he can decide if he wants to continue his legacy or not. If it were up to me, I’d want him to fight one more time in the Philippines for his people. It’s all up to Manny though.
“I have respect for Errol Spence Jr. He’s a good fighter and a world champion. We know we can’t underestimate him. He’s an intelligent fighter, so we know Manny has to be 100%. I think this is going to end up being a great toe-to-toe fight.”

The younger brother of former two-time champion Israel Vázquez, he most recently lost to super bantamweight champion Brandon Figueroa last September after having previously scored a stoppage win over Alejandro Moreno in February of 2020. Vázquez turned pro in 2013 and reeled off 14 consecutive wins to begin his career in the paid ranks.
“This is a great opportunity for me,” said Vázquez. “I turned pro at sixteen-years-old, so I took a much needed break after the Brandon Figueroa fight. Now I’m back and more ready than ever. I’m back fighting at bantamweight and that’s for sure the best weight for me going forward. I’m ready to show the world what I’m capable of. Бұл соғыс болады. Warren is a world class fighter, but if he thinks this is an easy fight, then he is totally mistaken and I’ll prove it on August 14.”

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Sunday:
Мэнни Пакьяо
“There were a lot of opportunities for me to pick an easier fight than this. But I picked Errol Spence Jr. because I want a real fight and a great fight for the fans. I’m a fighter and boxing is my passion.
“Errol Spence Jr. is aggressive, young and undefeated. He’s dedicated to his career. This is definitely not an easy opponent. This is the kind of opponent you can never underestimate.
“It’s been a long time since I fought a southpaw opponent. We had to change some of our strategy compared to previous fights and we’ll throw some different combinations.
“I don’t think Errol needs advice from Floyd Mayweather. I believe that Errol is a better fighter than Mayweather. Errol can teach Floyd how to fight toe-to-toe.
“I don’t want to be overconfident, because Errol is too good of an opponent. His determination and passion for the sport is always there. When I say I’m going to do something, it’s real and from the heart, it’s not to impress anybody.
“I had started training in the last week of May in the Philippines. So when I got here to Los Angeles, I was just continuing what I was doing. It’s good for me to have the rest that I’ve had the last two years. I’ve been boxing since I was 12 years old until now. When I went back to training, I was still hungry and dedicated.
“I won’t predict another first round knockdown like I had against Thurman. I’m focusing my mind, body and spirit on winning the fight. That’s the only goal. “This is one of the biggest challenges in my career. I can’t say it’s the biggest, because I’ve been fighting the best fighters in the world for years. But he’s right up there with anyone I’ve faced.
“I’ve been boxing for more than 25 careers as a pro. I think that I’ve seen every kind of style that’s out there.
“This is a one of a kind and prodigious fight. There’s going to be a lot of action in the ring. I’m so thankful for everyone who supports me and I’m happy to be in this position again fighting one of the best fighters in the world.”
Эррол Спенс JR.
“This is a great opportunity. Coming off of my accident I went right to fighting Danny Garcia and now Pacquiao. A lot of people were in the Pacquiao sweepstakes. When I got the call about this fight, I agreed right away and didn’t give it a second thought.
“There aren’t that many southpaws in boxing, so you don’t usually spar that many. We’ve got a lot of guys in camp now who can fight that left-handed style. Obviously I can’t find someone who fights exactly like Manny, but you can find guys who can mimic the tempo and pace. So that’s who we’ve been working with.
“You can see that Manny is still an explosive fighter with great speed. We’ve been putting together a game plan and we’ve been working on implementing it. Come August 21, you’ll see it in the ring.
“Manny can lull you to sleep giving you compliments. Бірақ қоңырау бір рет, he’s going to jump all over you.
“My chin since the accident has been tested in sparring and in the Danny Garcia fight. I imagine Manny is going to try to come in and test it as well.
“Just because he’s 42-years-old I don’t think it’s going to hurt him in training. He’s not blowing up in weight between fights and he’s not distracted. That’s why he’s been the same Manny Pacquiao for decades. I’m looking forward to the same Pacquiao who fought Keith Thurman and before that.
“Manny has a lot of tendencies, of course you’re going to see some things over the span of his whole career. When it’s time to buckle down, you know he’s the guy who’s going to fight. It can be a pro or a con, but he’s going to make it a fan-friendly fight.
“I don’t see myself ever getting knocked out. I just don’t see it. We’re going to be mindful that he has power. He knocked down Thurman and hurt him with a body shot. We’ll keep that in mind. But I’m not thinking about if he can knock me out.
“I have the ability to finish Pacquiao. Мен үшін, бірақ, I’m focused on winning the fight. If you rush and go for the knockout, you either look sloppy or something goes wrong. I have to fight my fight and at my pace. Нокаут келсе, I’ll go for it.
“This is going to be a great fight. Pacquiao is going to bring it like he always does, but I’m definitely going to come through with the victory.”
“My experience inside and outside of the ring has all led up to this. Now is the time for me to put it all on the line,” – Charlo “This is the fight of my life…The chance to become undisputed is just 10 days away and I can’t wait,” – Castaño Unified WBC, WBA and IBF Champion Charlo Battles WBO World Champion Castaño In Undisputed 154-Pound Title Showdown Saturday, Шілде 17 Live on SHOWTIME from AT&T Center in San Antonio in Premier Boxing Champions Event Сан-Антонио (Шілде 7, 2021) – Unified WBC, WBA and IBF World ChampionJermell Charlo and WBO World ChampionBrian Castañotook part in a virtual press conference Wednesday to preview their battle for the undisputed 154-pound championship which headlines action live on SHOWTIME Saturday, Шілде 17 from AT&T Center in San Antonio in a Premier Boxing Champions event.

Мұнда сарбаздың Сәрсенбі айтқанына болып табылады:
JERMELL Charlo
“We have 10 days to go and I’m excited. This is the most important time of my life. I love this. I’ve been doing this since I was a kid. My experience inside and outside of the ring has all led up to this. Now is the time for me to put it all on the line.
“Castaño is going to leave everything in the ring. So we’re not playing any games. Мен шынында да қиын оқыту келеміз. I’ve added things that have made me better because I know for a fact that this is going to be a great fight.
“I love my home state of Texas and I love fighting there. We’re bred differently. We’re a state that’s fought our own wars. This is huge. It’s a legacy fight for me and I’m ready for it.
“I know what I possess in the ring. Ол күресуге уақыт кезде, I instantly become the best warrior that there is out there.
“I’ve suffered my whole life, so there’s nothing in this world that can make me suffer more than what I went through growing up. Castaño is a great fighter who puts on a lot of pressure. But I know my abilities and I know my power. Every punch I throw is dominant and every shot I throw is painful for my opponent. I have a lot of unique abilities in me and I’m going to bring some tricks into this fight.
“I haven’t punched Castaño yet so I don’t know what his chin will do when I hit him. I know he’s got a big heart. I’m just going to do what I do, which is what everyone knows that I do. Everyone sees what I can do each time I get into the ring.
“I’ve been feeling really good in training camp. Better than I’ve ever felt. I’m in my prime right now and I feel stronger fight by fight. I’ve been developing every camp.
“I’ve got belts on belts and he’s got one belt. I’m ready to take that strap too. I’ve been paying attention to what he’s been doing. I haven’t just been sitting around since I fought Jeison Rosario. I’ve been working.
“Right now I’m not worried about what’s happening after this fight. I can only focus on what’s in front of me. I’m tunnel-visioned right now. This is what I want and I can’t see anything outside of victory on July 17.
“You’re going to see a more developed Jermell Charlo on July 17. I guarantee you’re going to see a top pound-for-pound fighter. At any point, this fight could be over with.
“This is a major fight because it’s history for me and my family. It’s huge for everyone that I represent and that’s been supporting me for all these years. It was due time to get in there for this fight. The belts and the money are not on my mind. What’s on my mind is the legacy.
“Not a lot of people get these opportunities. This fight is going to solidify a lot of different things in people’s minds about the Charlos.”
BRIAN CASTAÑO
“This is my opportunity. This is the fight of my life. I’m a world champion and Charlo is a world champion. The chance to become undisputed is just 10 days away and I can’t wait. Бұл менің уақыт. This fight is so important for my life. I hope to become undisputed on July 17 for my country and for my Latin supporters.
“This is one of the most important fights in Argentina’s history. It’s for four belts, undisputed at 154 фунт. It’s a great opportunity for my team, менің менеджер, my family and most importantly, for me. This will be the hardest fight of my career.
“Charlo is a great fighter, there’s no doubt about it. But I came here to do my job and I’m going to come forward. I’m the type of fighter that is always going after you. I’m always there to pressure you. Even though Charlo said that I don’t have anything he hasn’t seen before, he has never seen anybody with my fighting style.
“I’ve seen Charlo knock down a lot of fighters with just one punch. That’s something to look out for. Дегенмен, I have more of a variety in my arsenal than anybody he has fought before. If I have to be more aggressive and go for more power instead of finesse, rest assured that I can knock him down as well.
“Ring rust will not be an issue at all. I train every day. I spar three times a week. I’ve been training twice a day lately. I am in rhythm and in shape. I am coming for the four belts.
“On July 17, I can guarantee that I will bare my soul, I will leave my heart in the ring and do everything in my power to become the undisputed, unified champion of the world.
“I think that Charlo is in the prime of his career as well. That’s why I looked for this fight. This is the fight I’ve been looking for because we are both in the best moment of our career, and I want to take advantage of it.
“I am out for glory. I want to be the first in history to be undisputed champion at 154 pounds in the four-belt era and also be one of the best Argentinian and Latin American boxers that ever lived. I’m going for it all. I’m going to leave it all out there on Saturday night and there’s no reason why I can’t be both one of the best pound-for-pound fighters and also one of the best Argentinian boxers ever.
“If I win, the glory would be equal to a potential Argentina World Cup title next year. Дегенмен, soccer is different because you have 10 other people that you can rely on. Messi has 10 teammates that he can pass the ball to when things get tough, but when I’m in the ring I’m on my own. Boxing is more of an individual challenge. When I’m up against the ropes, I have to get out of it on my own. The glory and the excitement of a win would be the same as an Argentina World Cup for my country.
“This opportunity to make history for my country and for Latin American people brings out very strong emotions in me. I don’t want to let down my Latin American people from all over the world. I feel an immense amount of pride in that and I am up to the challenge.
“I have not had the opportunity to meet Manu Ginobili, but he is an icon in Argentinian sports. He is one of the best ever and what he represents is iconic both as an athlete and as a person. He has both my admiration and my respect.
“I am aware that people may not know me, but I’m here to create my own path and pave my own way. I know that I haven’t fought that much lately and maybe that’s part of the reason why people don’t know me, but I turned down fights against opponents that weren’t of the caliber that I wanted to face. My goal has always been to go up against the best of the best and the elite of my division. I have that chance now and I’m going to prove why I deserve this chance and why I’m worth following.”
