Arreola’s first fight with Goossen saw the veteran former title challenger set numerous CompuBox heavyweight records in a narrow decision loss to Adam Kownacki.
Here is what Arreola and Goossen had to say Wednesday:
Кріс Арреола
“I’m ready for this fight. I’ve been waiting for this fight for four or five months. This one is going to be a barnburner for sure.
“This fight is important for my legacy. I want to make the fans happy they bought this fight. I don’t fight for paychecks. I’m a fighter for the fans. So I hope they enjoy this fight and buy this pay-per-view.
“I love what I do. I’m a fortunate person to have been a fighter since a young age. I bleed boxing. I put my whole self out there every time I fight. I know that I owe it to the fans to give them a great fight.
“Defensively I’ve grown so much working with Joe. He’s taught me a lot about keeping my hands up and countering. He hasn’t reinvented the wheel, he’s just made sure the wheel is round.
“I was able to keep up the pace against Kownacki because I did everything I had to do in the gym. I could have given three more rounds at the end of that fight too. The fight is always won in the gym and we put all of the work in to win that fight. I thought I won that fight. Despite not getting the decision, it was a fun fight for me.
"Я прекрасно себе почуваю. I’ve been working hard for months. I know that I have to make this a great fight for the fans and for myself. I know how crucial this fight is for my career.
“I don’t pay attention to the odds. If people want to make me the underdog, I’m comfortable with that. I’ve been an underdog my whole life.
“I’ve had some long layoffs before, so I know how to get back into it when the time comes. The sparring helps you know where your timing is at. That’s the best way to gauge where you’re at in your training camp.
“It’s a beautiful venue at Dignity Health Sports Park. There isn’t a bad seat in the house. Every time I go there I love to sit up there with all the fans and enjoy the fights. It’s going to be a fun night of boxing on May 1 and I can’t wait.”
JOE GOOSSEN, Arreola’s Trainer
“Chris and Andy are veterans. They’ve been around a longtime. They know how to turn on the switch when the time comes. We’re preparing for a great fight on May 1.
“When you have two guys of the same talent, how do you determine who wins the fight? It’s the fighter who’s in better shape. That’s the underlying thought process here. Both Chris and Andy have talent, but our goal is for Chris to be in the best shape possible. The difference plays itself out in those last few rounds of the fight.
“You’re going to have the best Andy Ruiz that we’ve seen in this fight. And we have the same on our side. Our team has been working hard as well. I don’t expect anything but a great fight. However many rounds this goes, це буде феєрверк.
“We’ve been training for around four months but he hasn’t peaked too early because we’ve been consistent. Once we built up to a certain point, we’ve kept it there. He’s not worn out at all. This is what fighters are supposed to do. They’re supposed to be in the gym training.
“I’m very confident and calm heading into this fight, because Chris has been doing exactly what he’s supposed to be doing. That’s all you can ask for.”

Lara will make his 2021 debut after his last fight saw him defeat Greg Vendetti by unanimous decision on FOX in August, making it three-straight fights without a loss combined with his knockout victory over Ramon Alvarez in August 2019 and a split-draw in a 2019 action fight against current 154-pound champion Brian Castano.
Prior to narrowly dropping 2018’s Fight of the Year to Jarrett Hurd, Lara was established as the longest-reigning 154-pound champion, owning six title defenses. Lara has faced a slew of top names in the division throughout the years, including Canelo Alvarez, Остін Траут, Альфредо Ангуло, Пол Вільямс, Ishe Smith and Vanes Martirosyan, in addition to Hurd and Castano.
Here is what Lara had to say about training camp, moving up to middleweight and more:
On this recent training camp: “Training camp has been hard. I am working with my coach Ismael Salas, and things have just been very calculated and scientific. We got great sparring and I’m feeling young in my mind, тіло, and soul. I like the way the camp is being managed, and I expect to have a lot of success in this fight based on the preparation I have had in Las Vegas.”
On his matchup with LaManna: “Thomas LaManna is really big and tall and brings a unique style to the ring. This is not an easy fight at all, and I know I will have to be my very best to come out victorious. He has never fought for a world title so I am fighting a person who is looking to accomplish his lifelong dream of becoming a world champion. I am fully prepared, focused, and I’m expecting a tough fight.”
On fighting for the vacant WBA middleweight title: “I’m looking to become a two division and three-time world champion. I take great pride in being a fighter that puts everything on the line. I want to face any-and-all challengers, and this will continue May 1. My goal is to be an all-time great and a legend in the sport. I’m moving up in weight to become a world champion and show the world I’m ready for new challenges.”
On what a win will do for his career: “A victory against LaManna will put me in position to challenge the other champions at middleweight. I am looking at unification bouts, I want the biggest bouts possible, but I must win this fight first. There are a lot of meaningful fights at middleweight, and I want them all. I want to be a Hall-of-Famer and go down as one of the best Cuban boxers to ever do it. For my legacy to be thought of that way, I have to fight the best.”

“I love training with a young, hungry fighter like Jesús. We feed off of each other’s energy,” – Abel Ramos “We both have the same goal, which is to win on May 1… If I’m ever tired, I just look to Abel and know that I have to keep pushing,” – Jesús Ramos Welterweight Contender Abel Ramos & Rising Welterweight Star Jesús Ramos Preview Respective Showdowns on FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View Undercard Taking Place Saturday, Травня 1 from Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Каліфорнія CASA GRANDE, AZ. (Квітня 14, 2021) – Welterweight contender Abel Ramos and his nephew, rising welterweight star Jesús Ramos, discussed their family’s bond through boxing while previewing their upcoming respective showdowns taking place Saturday, Травня 1 in FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View undercard action from Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Каліфорнія.
Abel Ramos will step in to face former world champion Omar “Panterita” Figueroa in the co-main event of the pay-per-view, while Jesús Ramos will battle Javier “El Intocable” Molina in a welterweight attraction that kicks off the pay-per-view at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.
Abel and Jesús are trained by Abel’s brother and Jesús’ father, Jesús Ramos Sr. in their hometown of Casa Grande, Арізона. Both have spoken effusively about how training alongside a family member, and a fighter at a different point in their career, helps push them during camp.
“It’s great working with Abel,” said Jesús. “We both have the same goal, which is to win on May 1. If I’m ever tired, I just look to Abel and know that I have to keep pushing. I’m always able to ask him for advice and we help each other a lot.”
“It’s great training with a young, hungry fighter like Jesús,” said Abel. “We feed off of each other’s energy, and there’s lots of competitiveness when we train. I think that’s a good thing for both of us.”
Both Abel and Jesús have known since Jesús was little that this was a path the younger Ramos would eventually walk. For Jesús, he’s always used Abel as his inspiration to help get him where he is today.
“Deep down I always knew he’d get into boxing,” said Abel. “He was at all of my fights when he was younger and he always showed an interest in the sport.”
“Abel is the guy that I’ve looked up to since I was a little kid,” said Jesús. “I watched him box from a very young age and have learned a lot from him. Seeing him do it has always inspired me. He’s always taken tough fights and that’s inspiring too. He’s played a huge role in getting me to where I am today.”
While the 20-year-old Jesús is considered a young up-and-comer in the sport, who will be taking on his toughest test May 1 in Javier Molina, Abel believes that his nephew will show wisdom beyond his years in this fight.
“People think because Jesús is young that he doesn’t have experience, but that’s where they’re wrong,” said Abel. “At a very young age he displayed a lot of the abilities of a veteran fighter. He’s always had great patience, as well as the ability to think in the ring. His ring IQ is really high for his age.”
Ahead of the two fighting Ramos’ sharing the pay-per-view undercard on May 1, here is what Abel and Jesús had to say about their training camp, their respective showdowns and more:
Абель RAMOS
“We’re less than three weeks away now, and every week I feel stronger and more ready for May 1. I’ve been sparring with a bunch of local fighters from Arizona who are helping prepare me. The hardest part is yet to come, but I’m just focusing on the game plan and executing the same program that’s worked in the past.
“It’s great to be a part of this event and show the fans the warrior mentality that us Mexican and Mexican-American fighters have. I can’t wait to put on a great show! It’s motivating for me to showcase our warrior style and it’s making me work my absolute hardest in order to give my best on fight night.
“I learned a lot from facing Yordenis Ugas. I went back and watched that fight, and I saw some things I can improve on. It serves as motivation, but it also showed me that I belong in there with the best in the division. I don’t feel like it was a total loss because I learned from it. But in this fight, I’m going to show all the improvements I’ve made since the Ugas fight.
“I watched Figueroa’s fight against Ugas. But styles make fights and I think my fight against Figueroa is going to be different than what Figueroa and Ugas had. I expect way more action when I face Omar.
“The majority of the game plan is preparing for Figueroa to come forward. We’re getting sparring partners that mimic what Figueroa does. Even when I’m working on the heavy bag, we’re keeping that in mind. I’m constantly imagining someone in front of me who I know is going to throw a lot of punches.
"В кінці дня, I just want the win by any means necessary. I love that people are expecting a great fight from us and I just use that as motivation to prepare myself for what I know will be a grudge match.”
JESÚS RAMOS
“Everything is going how we planned for in this training camp. It’s a grind seven days a week. I’m just keeping up a good diet and focusing on strength and conditioning. We’re going 12 rounds in sparring and I’m feeling ready. I’m in great shape already and we still have two and a half weeks to go. I’ve been sparring with my uncle Abel, Jorge Cota and some other local fighters from Arizona.
“I think Molina has a lot of experience, which I know he’ll try to use against me. He’s a fighter with good speed. But when he fought Jose Pedraza, he struggled against a southpaw. Так, I might cause him some problems there, but I’m also bigger than Pedraza. I’m a legit welterweight.
“This fight being so close to Cinco De Mayo, this is a huge deal for me. There are going to be tons of events and festivities that week and to be a part of all of that is an honor. I just want to represent Mexico in the best way that I can.
“A victory over Molina would be a big statement. A lot of people are saying that he’s my toughest opponent to date. And beating him will get me fights with some even bigger names. But I have to beat Molina first.
“I’d love to get a knockout against Molina. He’s faced some tough fighters and nobody has been able to knock him out. But if I can’t get the knockout then I just want to dominate him and look good getting the win however I can.”

“It was another brutal camp in San Antonio with coach Rick Nunez. We got a lot of hard rounds in with some very tough sparring partners.

On his upcoming fight with Elias Araujo: “Araujo has a good record with a lot of experience, and he has double the number of fights that I’ve had. Since Araujo has only fought once in the U.S., Я знаю, що він прийде воювати, so I’m expecting to go to war. This will be my toughest fight so far in my career, and I’m going to be ready for anything he brings to the ring.”
On making his 2021 debut on FOX: “I’m so grateful to be fighting once again FOX PBC Fight Night. It’s the big stage that gets me excited and I want nothing more than to put on a great performance for the fans. It doesn’t get bigger than FOX, so believe me when I say I’m ready to let my hands go.”

“I’m coming to make a statement in this fight. Araujo has never been stopped, so to end this fight early will be something special that no one has ever done. Fans can expect to see me throw a lot of power shots with bad intentions.”

He lost the title to four-division world champion Mikey Garcia in 2018 and then moved up to welterweight in 2019. He served notice that he would be a contender at welterweight when he scored an impressive stoppage victory over two-division champion Lamont Peterson in 2019. Народився в Казахстані і представляв Росію, Нині Ліпінець живе на Вудленд Хіллз, California and is trained by renowned trainer Joe Goossen. Lipinets is coming off a hard-fought majority draw against undefeated Custio Clayton in October 2020.
“Training is grueling and I’m working hard with Joe Goossen to be at my best on fight night,” said Lipinets. “We have a tough, young fighter in Ennis who thinks I’m a stepping stone for him. But sometimes stepping stones trip you up, and I’ll be doing my best to trip him up on April 10. I’m just doing my best to get prepared for what I expect to be a dog fight. Every fan that knows boxing knows that this is going to be a real war and worth tuning in for. I expect we’ll be fighting in a phone booth at times, but I also expect him to try to use his reach and fight me at a distance at times. But no matter what he does, I’ll be ready for him.”
Stanionis (12-0, 9 КО) has put together a string of impressive victories as he has climbed up the ranks from prospect to contender. He enters the match against Dulorme with four consecutive knockout victories. The 26-year-old from Lithuania, who now lives and trains in California, looked impressive as he picked up three solid victories in 2019, beating Samuel Figueroa via unanimous decision and scoring early stoppages against Julio Cesar Sanchez and Evincii Dixon. The undefeated welterweight has put the division on notice with back-to-back dominating main event performances in November and December 2020, when he notched ninth-round knockouts over Justin DeLoach and Janer Gonzalez respectively.
“This is my first time fighting on SHOWTIME and it feels like a dream come true,” said Stanionis. “Dulorme is experienced and has been a good fighter for a long time. На папері, this is my toughest fight, але я готовий. I’ll be prepared for whatever he brings. With our styles, це буде війна. I’m ready to fight right now. Somebody is going down and no matter what happens, the fans are going to win.”
The 31-year-old Dulorme (25-4-1, 16 КО) has amassed a solid resume at 140 і 147 pounds during his career, climbing into the ring with world champions Yordenis Ugas, Jessie Vargas and Terence Crawford. Born in Marigot, Guadeloupe but fighting out of and representing Carolina, Пуерто-Ріко, Dulorme rebounded from a loss to Crawford for a 140-pound title by scoring back-to-back knockouts, followed by a narrow decision loss to top welterweight Yordenis Ugas. The world title challenger is coming off a unanimous decision loss to Jamal James in his last fight in August.
“I’m very excited for this fight on April 10,” said Dulorme. “I came up short in my last fight for the title, but a win against Stanionis will put me right back into the position I want. He’s young and strong, but I have a lot more experience and I will show it in the ring and it will lead me to victory.”
Representing the Philippines, Ancajas (32-1-2, 22 КО) was only 15 years old when he was spotted by boxing legend Manny Pacquiao. The young fighter blossomed with Pacquiao’s guidance, becoming the first world champion under Pacquiao’s promotional banner when he outpointed McJoe Arroyo for the IBF World Junior Bantamweight title in September 2016. The 29-year-old southpaw hasn’t lost since and will be making the ninth defense of his title when he faces Rodríguez. In his most recent outing in December, Ancajas stopped Miguel Gonzalez in six rounds.
“I am really looking forward to returning to the ring on April 10 for my first fight on SHOWTIME,” said Ancajas. “Everybody knows the great rivalry between the Philippines and Mexico, and I look forward to adding another explosive fight to that history. Fight fans know where all the action fights are right now, and that’s the 115-pound division. I’m thankful for this opportunity and I plan to make the most of it.”
Mexico’s Rodríguez (22-1, 16 КО) was given the nickname “Titan” because of his prodigious power. Since suffering a disputed split-decision loss to Jose Martin Estrada Garcia in March 2018, the 25-year-old has won six straight, including a first-round knockout victory over Julian Yedras last December. Він буде робити його U.S. debut against Ancajas.
“This is the opportunity of a lifetime for me,” said Rodríguez. “Коли я почав бокс, it was my dream to fight for the world title and win it. Квітня 10, all of my dreams and hard work will come true when I hear ‘and the new IBF champion of the world.’”

Lightweight Sensation Isaac Cruz Earns Unanimous Decision Against Matias Romero In First Loss; Terrell Gausha Scores Emphatic TKO Victory Over Jamontay Clark in Telecast Opener on SHOWTIME® in Premier Boxing Champions Event Натисніть ОСЬ для фото з Амандою Westcott / SHOWTIME (Фотографії будуть завантажені найближчим часом) Click Here to Watch the Main Event’s Final Moments Click Here to Watch David Benavidez’s Post-Fight Interview Ункасвілль, Коннектикут. – March 13, 2021 - Former two-time world championДевід Бенавідес kept his perfect ring record intact with an 11ї-round technical knockout victory against veteranRonald Ellisin their WBC Super Middleweight Title Eliminator main event on Saturday night’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast, live on SHOWTIME from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., у чемпіонаті чемпіонів з боксу.
Phoenix’s Benavidez (24-0, 21 КО) flashed brilliant hand speed, accuracy and power as he dominated Ellis (18-2-2, 12 КО) Лінн, Масса., на 11 rounds before referee Johnny Callas finally waved off the fight at 2:03 of the penultimate round. The 24-year-old star held a significant lead on all three scorecards (99-91, 98-92 x2) під час зупинки.
“I rate my performance pretty good but I know I could have done better,” said Benavidez, who extended his perfect record to 24-0. “Ronald Ellis is a tough competitor. I just hope the fans like what they saw. I threw a lot of combinations, punches in bunches. There were a lot of times I thought Ellis was going to quit but he didn’t. Hats off to him, він крутий хлопець. It was a little later than I wanted but a stoppage is still a stoppage. I hope the fans got a good show tonight.”
A boxing prodigy turned youngest super middleweight world champion in boxing history, Benavidez turned in a masterful performance as evidenced by his punch stats, посадка 289 з 532 power punches thrown for an eye-popping connection rate of 54%. Benavidez connected on 50 punches in the 11їround which ultimately led to the stoppage. Both fighters combined to throw 1,403 удари. Following his dominating win on SHOWTIME, Benavidez is one step closer to reclaiming a super middleweight world title.
“I want all the big guys,” Benavidez added. “Speaking for the fans too, they would love to see me against all the big guys because as you can see, I love throwing punches. I love stopping people so me versus any big name would be an amazing fight. Мені потрібно [Jermall] Charlo, Канело Альварес, Калеб завод, all of them.”
Елліс, 31, showed tremendous determination and a very sturdy chin as he absorbed the constant onslaught from the former two-time world champion. Often working off the ropes as Benavidez pressed the action, Ellis landed 89 з його 334 уколи.
“I could have popped the jab and controlled things a little bit more and not let him smother me,” said Ellis. “Hell yeah I wanted to finish. I didn’t want to give him that satisfaction. I could have moved a little bit more and not taken so many shots to the head. Hats off to him. He did what he had to do. Він не мене не зашкодить, that’s the funny thing. I took a lot of shots but he didn’t damage me or have me super hurt. I never thought about quitting.”
The sports world lost an icon today as the death of Marvelous Marvin Hagler was reported hours before the live telecast began. A member of the International Boxing Hall of Fame, Хаглер, який був 66 років, fought in the first main event ever on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on March 10, 1986. Hagler was honored with a ceremonial 10-count prior to tonight’s main event. Click Here to Watch SHOWTIME’s Tribute to Marvin Hagler
Benavidez reflected on Hagler’s passing after the fight: “I had met Marvin once before and he was a great champion. Someone told me he fought the first fight on SHOWTIME. Someone on my team let me know a few hours before the fight that he had passed. It’s sad and he will be missed. He was a true legend.”
У со-головній події, Ісаак Круз (21-1-1, 15 КО) of Mexico City earned a unanimous decision victory over Argentina’sMatias Romero (24-1, 8 КО) in a 12-round WBA Lightweight Title Eliminator. It marked the first time that the 22-year-old Cruz went 12 rounds in his professional career. The judges’ scorecards read 114-113, 115-112 і 118-109. SHOWTIME’s unofficial scorer Steve Farhood scored the fight 115-112, giving rounds 10 через 12 to the rising star.
“I’m not happy about the style of the fight but I am satisfied I took the victory home and we’ve come to the No. 1 spot in the WBA,"Сказав Круз. “I didn’t know what was going to happen [as far as the judges]. We forced the fight at all times and it would have been very impossible for the judges to do something to me when I was the one pushing the fight.”
Throughout the 36-minute affair, Cruz constantly applied pressure against his opponent which led to Romero, the more seasoned professional, to hold excessively in an attempt to stall the pressure. Despite being warned frequently by referee Harvey Dock, the 24-year-old Romero was never penalized. During the rough-and-tumble contest, проте, Cruz was docked a point in the sixth round for a low blow.
“He was a fighter who didn’t want to exchange punches,” Cruz added, in reference to the persistent clinching. “I was very fed up with the clinches—there was never a warning toward him. I did my best out there. Not the best way I wanted to do it but thank God we won the fight and we’re taking the victory home.”
Romero presented an effective jab throughout the fight, посадка 89 з 282, but it was Cruz’s power punching that ultimately earned him the victory. Хрест, who is now the No. 1 contender for a world title shot at 135 фунти, приземлився 145 з 459 електричні удари, у тому числі 91 кадри тіла.
“Obviously I’m not happy with the decision,” stated Romero following his first professional loss. “I thought maybe it was a draw. Overall I’m happy with my performance. He’s supposed to the be the ‘Pit Bull’ and I went the distance. You have to take the opportunities when they are presented and I wish I would have had more time to get ready for this fight.”
In the evening’s opening bout, Cleveland’sТеррелл Gausha (22-2-1, 11 КО) scored an impressive second-round technical knockout over fellow OhioanJamontay Кларк (15-2-1, 7 КО) Цинциннаті. Gausha, 33, did not land a single power punch in the opening round but worked well behind the jab, winning the round on two of the judges’ scorecards. As the second round neared completion, Gausha beautifully countered a lunging left hand from the southpaw Clark which sent the 26-year-old to the canvas for the first time in his professional career. Clark beat the count but moments later was met by a barrage of unanswered punches in the neutral corner. Referee Arthur Mercante jumped in and called a halt to the bout at 2:44 другого туру.
“I knew Jamontay was a tough kid, I’ve been watching him since Cleveland so I knew about him already,сказав Гауша. “I felt like I had a chance to knock him out but I didn’t know how the fight would play out. But I feel I did good, executed the game plan. My coaches had been studying film and we executed.
“I just took my time,” added Gausha. “I was setting traps. I knew he would be open eventually, but I had to be cautious too because he’s a rangy guy, has a good left hand. But I knew there were holes in his game and we executed and when the opportunity presented itself, we landed that big right hand.”
With his emphatic stoppage win, the 2012 Olympian emerges as a contender for a title shot in the super welterweight division. In his first and only world title shot in 2017, Gausha dropped a unanimous decision to current super welterweight world champion Erislandy Lara.
“I know I made a statement tonight,” added Gausha. “I put the division on notice. I’m locked and loaded and I’m ready. I want to be a world champion so I’m looking to fight whoever I need to fight to get to the belts.”

Захід просувається TGB Promotions. Breazeale vs.. Валлін просувається разом із Salita Promotions.
Ось що мали сказати учасники прес-конференції у четвер:
Адрієн Broner
“У мене було так багато чудових виступів, і я з нетерпінням чекаю чергового чудового виступу в суботу ввечері. Я знаю, що він прийде воювати, він непереможений і він голодний. Будь-хто, хто бореться з таким ім'ям, як Адріен Бронер, завжди буде тренуватися якнайкраще, тому я не розглядаю це як бійку, де я просто заходжу і знищую цього хлопця. Я просто збираюся зробити те, що мені потрібно зробити, щоб отримати перемогу - добре виглядати як на рингу, так і за його межами.
«Я відчуваю, що знову стану чемпіоном світу, знову, знову і знову. Поки я справді не закінчу бокс. Так, Я взяв два роки від боксу, вийшов на пенсію і нехай моє тіло заживає і відпочиває. Я просто відчуваю, що отримав усе необхідне, щоб виграти більше чемпіонатів у різних вагових категоріях, отже, це те, що я буду робити.
"В кінці дня, він тут через мене, і всі в цій кімнаті тут через мене, так що це особливе. У суботу ввечері, єдине, що стане особливим - це коклюш, який я видаю. Тоді він буде знати. Сантьяго ще не вдарили. Коли когось вдариш, вони говорять по-різному. Після суботи він не буде говорити так.
“Я пережив багато речей, чесно. Одного дня, Я просто прокинувся і сказав, «Я закінчив». Щоб змінитись, вам потрібно внести зміни, або ви постійно будете встигати робити те саме. Я вирізав багато речей, Я перестав робити багато речей і зібрався. Довгий шлях був до того місця, де я перебуваю сьогодні, і зараз я тут.
"Слухайте, якщо у вас є ремінь, просто тримайся за це. Я приходжу все це підмітати; WBA, WBO, WBC, IBF. Я приїжджаю взяти їх усіх.
“Просто чекайте пекельного шоу. Я знаю, що він прийде воювати, Він з Пуерто-Рико, вони приходять, щоб боротися. Але я не просто пройшов усі ці тренування, щоб вийти на ринг і не битися. Тож він повинен знати, що якщо він прийде на війну, він теж буде на війні. Краще їхати з великою кількістю обладнання, тому що я маю багато обладнання, яке йде зі мною. Я просто готовий викласти все це на карту. Я не знаю, як він почувається, але я готовий померти на рингу. Я готовий поставити своє життя на карту. Я не знаю, як далеко він готовий піти. Він може почати думати про своїх дітей, онуки, тітки, племінниці, Я не знаю.
“З того часу, як мені було шість років, Я ніколи не відпочивав від боксу. Отже, це я зробив. Зараз, Мені знову не вистачає боксу, Я повернувся до цього, і ми повернулися до цього в суботу ввечері.
«Це був пекельний тренувальний табір. Можливо, один із найскладніших, тому що мені довелося повернутися в ритм, повернутися і втратити всю цю вагу і працювати так само наполегливо, як і я. Я не хотів легкої боротьби, тому вибрав такого хлопця, як Джованні Сантьяго, бо знаю, що він підштовхне мене і виведе з мене найкраще. Це те, що я знаю про нього. Він хороший боєць,, непереможений боєць, і він не тут, щоб програти.
“Я знаю, що багато людей не знають цих хлопців, але такі хлопці, як Джовані, можуть бути дуже небезпечними, оскільки багато людей його не знають. Я знаю краще, він приходить битися, він хороший боєць і непереможений, тому я повинен залишатися на своїй грі. Я збираюся отримати перемогу - що б не представлялося. Якщо нокаут представляє себе, Я беру це. Вам не платять за надурочний час, але я точно приїжджаю, щоб отримати свою перемогу.
«Загальна мета - пройти цей бій першим. У боксі, ви не можете оминути жодного суперника. Мені все одно, як все виглядає на папері. У боксі, вам потрібно лише один удар від нокауту, і це на обох кінцях. Отже, що мені потрібно зробити, це зайти, отримати мою перемогу, спершу підніми руки, а потім ми підемо до креслення. Тож план для мене - отримати свою перемогу в суботу ввечері.
“Все відбувається з певною причиною, і я думаю, що це буде чудовий початок. Як я вже говорив раніше, Я не хотів легкого виходу. Я міг взяти відштовхування, але я не роблю цього. Я люблю конкуренцію. Я хочу, щоб хтось випробував мене, виведи з мене найкраще, і саме тому я вибрав Джованні Сантьяго. У суботу ввечері відбудеться велика боротьба ".
ЖОВАНІ САНТЯГО
«Це чудова можливість для мене. У суботу ввечері, Я збираюся показати, хто я. Я збираюся показати Адрієну Бронеру, що я готовий до боротьби.
“Що б Бронер не приніс до столу, Я збираюся побити його в суботу ввечері. Я готовий до цього бою. На цей момент, Бронер може подумати, що у нього легкий бій, але він помиляється. Я тут, щоб битися, Я тут, щоб перемогти. Ми готові.
"Цієї суботньої ночі буде війна, і це буде перемога Пуерто-Рико. Я готовий померти в ряду, як ми говоримо в Пуерто-Рико.
“Я знаю, що це найбільший бій у моїй кар’єрі. Він відоме ім’я, і я спробую виграти Пуерто-Рико. Перемога в цьому поєдинку була б найкращим, що трапилось у моїй кар’єрі, і моє ім’я стало б набагато більшим у світі боксу.
"Мені нічого втрачати. Адріен Бронер має все, щоб програти в суботу ввечері, тому йому краще провести свою гру проти мене. Перемога для мене перетворила б мене на титул чемпіона світу.
«AB завжди влаштовує шоу, тому в суботу я повинен бути готовим влаштувати власне шоу проти AB. Він хороший чемпіон, але я дуже важко тренувався у спортзалі, і збираюся це показати в суботу.
“Мені здається, Адрієн Бронер вважає, що я за нього легко змагаюся, але він помиляється в цьому. Я думаю, що Бронер збирається відпустити свої руки, бо він розглядає мене як слабкого суперника. Він точно мене не помічає.
“Що б Бронер не приніс до столу, Я буду готовий до цього. Якщо він рухається, Я збираюся переїхати з ним. Якщо він хоче сваритися, Я збираюся сваритися. Що б він не робив, Я зроблю це краще, ніж він ".
ДОМІНІК BREAZEALE
"Це правда, що ти настільки хороший, як останній бій, але в той же час я відчуваю, що це моя вихідна вечірка. Це схоже на мій професійний дебют. Я давно не був у мене і мав чудовий тренувальний табір, тому я готовий до суботнього вечора.
“Після мого останнього бою проти (Deontay) Уайлдеру, я витратив кілька днів, щоб перетравити втрату, а потім повернувся до спортзалу 10 днів пізніше. Я не хотів на ньому гартувати або дозволяти мені це турбувати. Насправді не було відчуття терміновості, але я знав, що відбудуться зміни, і я знав, що вони повинні бути зроблені в найближчі пару тижнів. Я зосередився на своєму харчуванні та своїх тренуваннях, звичайно, найбільшою зміною серед усіх була моя зміна тренера з Вергілія Хантера на Абеля Санчеса.
«Перехід на Абеля та тренування у Великому Ведмеді був величезним, і я би хотів, щоб я займався роками тому. На стіні Абеля насправді є щось написане, «Уявіть, що якщо». А я уявляю собі «що якщо» щовечора. Як я сказав, Я хотів би зробити це рік тому, але моє кондиціонування та моя впевненість на найвищому рівні.
«Деякі люди могли подумати, що я хотів би повернутися туди з проштовхуванням, але я завжди хотів битися з найкращими хлопцями. Я бачив бій Отто Уолліна та його виступ проти Тайсона Ф'юрі, а потім Тревіса Кауфмана. Коли до моєї уваги звернули увагу, Я перестрибнув це. Я знав, що світ боксу буде поважати боротьбу проти себе та Отто.
"Я не думаю, що Отто був там з великим, сильний, спортивний хлопець, як я. Майк Тайсон сказав це найкраще: "Кожен має ігровий план, поки вас не вдарять кулаком у рот".
OTTO WALLIN
«Всі хочуть запитати про мій бій з Тайсоном Ф'юрі, і вони забувають, що я зробив набагато більше, ніж це. Але це був чудовий виступ, і я розумію, що більшість людей раніше не бачили, як я бився, це був великий бій, і це було краще, ніж те, що думали більшість людей. Я зараз наче над цим. Я хочу рухатися вперед. Приємно рухатися вперед. Приємно бути в SHOWTIME, б’ючись з Breazeale, хто має добре ім’я. Тож сподіваємось, з цим поєдинком, Я б'ю його і рухаюся далі, щоб люди бачили, що я можу перемогти хороших хлопців.
“Я думаю, що я більш досконалий, ніж Breazeale. Також, Ви не можете забути, що я насправді 6-6 ", 240, так що я не такий маленький. Я знаю, що багато людей дивляться на мене так, ніби я менший, але я не такий маленький. З цим, як говориться, Я розумніший, отримав чудову команду, у нас був чудовий табір, і я теж дуже хороший. Я швидший за Домініка, У мене краща робота ніг, кращий захист, та кращий захист. Тож я повинен все це внести туди, робіть те, у чому я вмію, і зі мною все буде добре.
“Думаю, перемога допоможе мені пройти повз Ф’юрі. Але також це поставить там моє ім’я, щоб закріпити моє місце там. Я не думаю, що цей бій принесе мені титульний удар, але це буде хороший удар на шляху.
“Я думаю, що ви можете розраховувати на хороший бій, двоє хороших бійців. Домінік, мабуть, відчуває, що має сенс довести, і, мабуть, збирається вийти, бути агресивним і намагатися піти за мною. Я впевнений, що мені не доведеться його шукати, і я готовий до цього. Людей чекає захоплюючий бій і спокійної ночі боксу.
“Домінік агресивний хлопець, тому я повинен бути розумним. Я повинен бути тим, хто я є, і налаштувати його, і я думаю, що зможу це зробити.
"Я не відчуваю великого тиску. Я просто повинен бути собою, і я повинен робити те, що роблю, в чому я добре. Для мене це велика можливість, тому я намагаюся бути позитивним. Я довго чекав, щоб дійти до цього рівня, Я нарешті тут і не повертаюся назад ".
РОБЕРТ ВЕЛИКДЕНЬ, JR.
"Я був у деяких сварках, але я справді ніколи не виявляв своїх справжніх боксерських здібностей. Мені, Майк Стаффорд та мій батько (Роберт Пасха, Старший) просто працював над боксом і був собою.
“Під час COVID це насправді занепокоїло мене, і я був відключений протягом усього часу, і ніколи не знав, коли я отримаю цей дзвінок, щоб повернутися на ринг. Тож я справді мусив зосередитись, і я мав бути готовим щоразу, коли мені телефонували. Це мотивувало мене. Більше, Мені довелося оглянути свого сина і переконатися, що з ним все в порядку. Тож це справді вклало в мене інший драйв. Ця пандемія справді все повернула назад, але ми більш ніж готові.
«140 - це, безумовно, місце для мене бути зараз. Це майбутнє. Ми стурбовані правильним поданням та захопленням цього заголовка на 140.
"Я просто переживаю за себе і показую свої вміння і все, над чим ми працювали на тренуваннях і в цьому таборі".

«Ми билися в аматорах, і він побив мене, так що там, безумовно, є трохи чіпа на моєму плечі. Я хочу відповісти йому і повідомити, що я вже не 16-річна дитина.
“Цей бій поверне мене туди, щоб я міг битися з будь-яким з чемпіонів чи головних претендентів у дивізіоні.. Цей бій точно викраде шоу.
"Я зосереджений. Мій розум чистий. Цей бій прямо тут викликає у мене захват. Ми два бійці штату Огайо з історією - у мене на плечі чіп. Це буде насичений бій, і я збираюся його принести. Мене насправді не дивує, що Великдень каже, що не бачить особливих труднощів у боротьбі зі мною. Я якось очікував, що він це скаже. Великдень - це Великдень.
“Буде дуже важливо, щоб я відпустив руки проти Великодня. Я відчуваю, що ця боротьба матиме стільки дій. Я чітко налаштований. Я готовий. У суботу ввечері, ми зайдемо туди і дозволимо йому літати.
“Слова не можуть пояснити, наскільки я схвильований і переживаю за це, сказати тобі правду. Я так готовий до вечора в суботу. Я готовий закінчити зважування, потрапити під світло в суботу ввечері і влаштувати шоу. Це буде розважальний бій. Багато людей говорять про мене багато речей, базуючись на поєдинку Джоша Тейлора. Так, це як би я борюся з двома речами.
“Великдень просто повинен бути з ним у суботу ввечері. Я завжди знав, що ця боротьба з Робертом Істерном відбудеться. Не знаю чому, але я просто завжди знав, що ми знову зустрінемось на рингу. Я думаю, це тому, що ми обидва були в Огайо - він був у Толедо, а я в Клівленді - і я просто завжди думав, що отримаю цей бій. Я просто не думав, що це станеться таким чином у міхурі ".

Однак, two of the judges favored Gaballo’s aggression over Rodriguez’s ring generalship.
SHOWTIME’s unofficial scorer Steve Farhood scored the fight 118-110 in favor of Rodriguez and SHOWTIME analyst and former world champion Raul Marquez was dismayed by the judges’ decision.
“There’s no way Gaballo could have won that fight,” said Marquez. “In the worst-case scenario, you could have maybe given him three rounds. I gave him no rounds.”
“I am very happy and blessed to win this belt,” said the 24-year-old Gaballo. “I was always moving forward and controlling the pace, so I thought it was a close fight that either of us could have won.
“I’m waiting for my team to tell me what they have planned for me next. I’m going to keep training hard so I’m always ready for the opportunity when it comes.”
“Це була гарна боротьба, but he only won about two or three rounds,– сказав Родрігес. “There were two punches from me for every punch he landed. He knows he lost. Everyone knows we won. My team told me to go out and keep boxing him in the late rounds. We knew he needed a knockout in the twelfth round. That was his only chance to win.”
У со-головній події, Philadelphia’s undefeated welterweight sensationЯрон Енніс (26-0, 24 КО) saw his impressive 16-fight knockout streak come to a disappointing end after an accidental headbutt in the first round caused a brutal cut to the forehead of his opponent, Chris van Heerden (28-2-1, 12 КО).

“Before the headbutt I had already cut him and I felt strong,” said a disappointed Ennis. “I knew he was ready to go. I feel like I’m getting better and better. Now I’ll just get back in the gym. As you could see from the first round, I was handling him easily. I feel like everyone is still sleeping on me, but I’m ready for anyone. Bring on the big names.”
