CARSON, Calif. (Ogos 14, 2021) – WBO Bantamweight World Champion John Riel Casimero defeated two-division champion Guillermo Rigondeaux to retain his title Saturday night live on SHOWTIME headlining a Premier Boxing Champions event from Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California.

A three-division world champion, Casimero (31-4, 21 KOs) made his second successful title defense at 118-pounds, earning a career-best victory over the longtime 122-pound champion Rigondeaux (20-2, 13 KOs), 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.

Dari titik pada, Rigondeaux remained steadfast to a defensive strategy that saw Casimero forced to chase his opponent around the ring. Sementara itu, 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 kepada 44 edge in punches landed, termasuk 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 dan 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 contender Gary Antonio Russell (18-0, 12 KOs) dan bekas juara dunia Emmanuel Rodriguez (19-2, 12 KOs) 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. Malangnya, 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.

“Sudah tentu, 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.

Dalam pertarungan pembukaan, bekas juara dunia Rau'shee Warren (19-3, 5 KOs) dikuasai Damien Vazquez (16-3-1, 12 KOs) 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. Olympian, 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 daripada 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 pada pusingan kedua.

“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 (Rigondeaux vs. Casimero)."

SHOWTIME featured highlights from a non-televised fight that saw undefeated rising prospect Brandun Lee (23-0, 21 KOs) keep his perfect record intact, as he notched his 13ke- career first-round knockout with a sensational performance against Ezequiel Fernandez (28-5-1, 3 KOs).

“Prestasi saya baik,” said Lee. “It could have been better. There’s always room for improvement. Pada akhir hari, we got the job done. I’m definitely ready for the next level. It’s only right for me to step up the competition. I’ll take on anybody who’s ready.

Saturday’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast will replay Sunday, Ogos 15 di 9 WIB. ET/PT on SHOWTIME and Tuesday, Ogos 17 di 10 petang. ET/PT on SHOWTIME Extreme.

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: "Saya berasa baik. 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.”

Brandon Adams Proves He Belongs on the World Stage

Photos By Esther Lin / Showtime


PHILADELPHIA / LOS ANGELES – Julai 1, 2019 -Sabtu malam yang lalu, Brandon Adams announced himself as a top contender as he put on a gutsy performance against undefeated WBC World Middleweight Champion Jermall Charlo in Charlo’s hometown of Houston.


The bout was the main event that and was televised live on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING®, in which Adams gave a strong account for himself.


Adams took some of the best shots that the power punching Charlo could throw, and not only was Adams never hurt in the fight, in the later rounds, he began to take the fight to the hometown champion.


I was ready to risk it all. I went into the fight looking to dominate and get the stoppage victory. I knew going into the fight that is what I needed to do going into his hometown,” kata Adams.


Adams was not in the least intimidated by stepping into enemy territory, but there were a few things that happened during the fight that he did not expect which hindered his gameplan.


The referee would not let me get low. As you saw during the fight, I was crouching down to get inside, but the referee gave me a warning for doing that. I had to think of a different way to get in there without revealing myself,” continued Adams.


Walaupun, the television announcers and many on social media seemed surprised at the gutsy effort from Adams, the Watts, California native was very confident of his abilities as he entered the ring on Saturday night.


“Saya rasa baik. I knew I was capable of being on that level. I took out of the fight is that there are a few little things that I can work on and that I could have done in there. I did not know the referee would not let me get low or even let us fight in close as much as I wanted. I felt he would break us a little quickly. I also got hit in the back of the head a couple of times. Fighting in his hometown was tough.


I know this fight will help me better myself. Coming out of The Contender, my goal was to fight at 154 pound, but this was a world title opportunity. I proved that I am on that level at 160, and I will now look for the best opportunities at both 154 and 160.


We are very proud of Brandon. He fought very hard and put on a great performance,” said Artie Pelullo of Banner Promotions. “Brandon proved that he is a world class fighter, and now the world has seen what we already knew, that he is on the elite level. There will be many doors that will be open for him to secure more big fights.


I was impressed on how Brandon performed,” said Jeff Wald, Co-Creator and Co-Executive Producer of The Tournament of Contenders. “He has a big career ahead of him at both 154 dan 160 pound.”

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday from Hotel ZaZa Museum District in Houston:



Charlo JERMALL



“Me and my brother Jermell have been through so much in boxing. We’ve been doing it since we were eight-years-old. To make it to this world class level and to do it for Houston, it feels great.



“It’s going to be fireworks. I’m coming for the knockout every time. Houston is hot and the heat is going to be there fight night. I’m going to do what I normally do and give the crowd excitement.



“Ronnie Shields has changed me from being a kid to realizing who I am as a man in the sport of boxing. He’s had world champions before me so I know he can judge my progression. He’s going to make sure I stay at this level.



“I’m walking in the ring and I’m handling my business. This is definitely a step up fight for Brandon Adams, but I’m only worried about what I have to do. I’m just going to prepare to be my best. We’re going to both give it our all and I will be victorious.



“Boxing is about experiences and I’m still learning. I’m going to have my ups and downs, because no fighter is perfect. But I will always prepare myself well and that’s why I’m still undefeated. I needed a fight like my last one to get even better.



“I’m going to finish this fight. My goal is to make quick work of Brandon and show him that there are levels to this. You might be a contender, but it’s another thing to be a champion.



“I get a lot of juice from the hometown crowd. Just having my family there alone is what I really need to get the nerves and excitement to where I need them. I’m going to be comfortable and I’m going to stick to my game plan. I’m not here to make mistakes.



“Thus far camp has been great. I feel awesome and I’m well prepared. It’s an amazing feeling to be fighting in my hometown. It’s almost a dream come true to me. To have my own card at this level and on this stage, it shows the support Houston has for me.”



BRANDON ADAMS



“I appreciate the opportunity I have to step into the ring with this man across from me. I’m super excited about it and I can’t wait. These are two top fighters getting in the ring and we’re going to give the fans a show.



“It’s not just what I see in Jermall, it’s what I believe in myself. The combo of working with Dub Huntley and Freddie Roach is perfect. They are both seasoned vets and they teach me something new every day.



“I didn’t expect my road to be easy because it’s never been easy for me. I’m on the road and I understand that. I’m prepared to pack my bags and go wherever I need to, so that I can become what I’m supposed to become. The best man will win on June 29.



“Before The Contender I felt that I didn’t have an opportunity to show how good I am. During the whole series it was about getting back in the ring and shaking off the rust, then showcasing who I am.



“Winning The Contender helped get me here, but I always had confidence and believed in myself since day one. In choosing to accept Charlo’s challenge, I had it in my mind that I belong here.



“It was pressure every time I fought on The Contender. Each round were quality opponents leading up to the final and all of that will prepare me for Charlo. He deserves everything he’s gotten and I respect him as a man, but I’m going to take advantage of this opportunity.



“His team didn’t have to fight me, but they chose to. I appreciate his fans coming out to support him because they’ll see both of us. Hopefully I can win some of them over.”



Ronnie SHIELDS, Jurulatih Charlo ini



“We’ve done a lot of studying of Brandon Adams and he’s a really good fighter. Memenangi The Contender is not an easy feat. He’s truly a contender, so we have to make sure we’re working hard every single day.



“We’re not sitting back and waiting for someone to fight us. We have to continue to be busy. You still have to fight hard fights when you’re at the top and that’s what we’re doing. We’re preparing the right way.



“I’m so happy that everybody has come out to support Jermall because he’s been waiting to make his homecoming and this is it. It’s important to see everyone on his side.”



DUB HUNTLEY, Adams’ Trainer



“I hope everybody comes out for this one because it’s going to be a great fight. I’ve been with Brandon for a long time and I know that he’s going to win this fight and put on a memorable performance. Charlo is a great fighter but Brandon has all the tools necessary to come into his hometown and get the victory.”

“I feel so good, it’s been a long time. I’m champion, bayi,’’ said Mares, 31, a former WBC featherweight and super bantamweight world champion and IBF bantamweight world champion, who became Garcia’s 10ke- juara dunia. “We had the perfect game plan.

 

“I never doubted myself. I felt it in my heart. When I fought Lion (Santa Cruz) I beat myself because I fought the wrong fight. I fought smart malam ini. I thought it would be a unanimous decision, but at the end of the day I’m champion.’’

 

Cuellar is known as a devastating puncher, but he was unable to land his power shots or cut off the ring against Mares, who seemingly pocketed rounds with accuracy and a solid left hook. Mares floored Cuellar with a straight right in the opening minute of the 11th, sending Cuellar to the canvas for the third time of his career. The onslaught continued, with a resurgent Mares teeing off on Cuellar until he raised his hands following the final bell.

“They said he was a power puncher, they said he was going to knock me out, but I proved that I have some power, terlalu,’’ said Mares, who dropped a majority 12-round decision to Santa Cruz in his last fight on Aug. 29, 2015. “I want Leo, Saya ingin (Carl) Frampton, I want anyone. I’m a champion. I’m not afraid of anyone.”

 

Cuellar stated his case for a rematch afterward.

 

“I thought the fight was pretty even until he threw me down, and that’s when he took control,"Kata Cuellar, who was making his third title defense. “He definitely had the boxing skills going today. I would have preferred a rough fight, but Mares had his skills today. Saya ingin perlawanan semula. I gave him the opportunity and now I think it’s fair that he gives it to me.”

 

Sekiranya bersama utama yang, Charlo dropped Williams three times, once in the second and twice in the fifth. Williams, who had not lost a round in 10 consecutive fights, went down for the first time in his career from a strong counter left-hand midway through the second round.

 

Williams, who established his counter right early, performed well for the next two rounds in the first title fight between undefeated 154-pound champions since Floyd Mayweather dismantled Canelo Alvarez dalam 2013.

 

But Charlo decked him again with a brutal right uppercut midway through the fifth round that sent Williams collapsing face-forward onto the canvas. Williams got up, but he was clearly in trouble. Charlo floored him seconds layer with a left hook, forcing referee Wayne Hedgepath to instantly halt the contest at 2:06.

 

Charlo was ahead with scores of 38-37 on the three scorecards entering the fifth round in a highly skilled matchup between two fighters in their prime.

 

Afterward a fracas broke out in the ring between the fighters and their cornermen after Charlo wouldn’t acknowledge Williams’ congratulatory hand shake. Williams immediately stormed from the ring. The fans booed Charlo loudly throughout his post-fight interview with SHOWTIME reporter Jim Gray.

 

“I did what I was supposed to do, Saya amat gembira dengan prestasi saya, I listened to my trainer,’’ said Charlo, the identical twin brother of WBC 154-pound titlist Jermell Charlo. “I trained hard for this fight, I stayed in the gym the whole time.

 

“No matter what, people have to respect my accomplishments. He just wasn’t on my level. I told everyone what I was going to do since the fight was announced. I knew I was going to win; he was badly hurt after the knockdown.

“I just want to tell Julian Williams, Saya minta maaf. Leading up to this fight Julian talked, and I held it in. I did what I had to do to become the champion of the world and I deserve my respect. He disrespected me all the way up to the fight. I made the fight happen; I gave the fans what they wanted to see. I stayed at 154 pound, although I do want to move up to 160, just to fight someone the world said I couldn’t beat.

 

“I said I don’t want your congratulations; I want your apology. I don’t care what they say, I knocked him out. No matter what they say about me I’m going to continue to work hard. I did what my trainer told me to do, I stayed in there and bang the shot came home. I’m never disrespected this dude, tidak pernah, until I knocked him out.

 

"Ya, I want to unify. I want to prove I’m the best junior middleweight in the world, none of them are on my level.

Williams offered no excuses. “I just got caught,’ he said. “I was fine after the second round and kept going. He just caught me. He wasn’t too big. He just caught me.

“I didn’t care about any of that [post-fight drama]. I just wanted to win.”

 

Charlo-Williams was the fourth 154-pound title fight on SHOWTIME in 2016.

In one off the fights streamed earlier Sabtu on FACEBOOK LIVE, Sergey Lipinets (11-0, 9 KOs) tersingkir Lenny Zappavigna(35-3, 25 KOs) to become the mandatory challenger for the IBF Junior Welterweight World Title.

 

After flooring Zappavigna midway through the fourth, Lipinets finished off the Australian with an overhand right in the eighth in a closely contested and bloody affair.

 

"Ya, this was my toughest fight, it’s bloody and rugged but no problem for me,’’ Lipinets said. “This was an eliminator and now I want my next fight to be for the world championship. Julius Indogo has the IBF title and now I’m the mandatory.

“I’m very happy with my performance. We’ve worked on adjusting during fights and that worked very well for me malam ini. I was hoping for the knockout but my trainer said to keep working and the stoppage will come.”

“I left it all in the ring,’’ Zappavigna said. “I fought my heart out and I came here to give it my best. Even though I’m disappointed with the loss, I am at peace with the result because I know I couldn’t have done anything else.

“I wish Sergey all the best in his world title fight.

“I know my fans are behind me and I’m bringing pride back to Australia. I know I was in control of the fight, but my Australian ‘white line feverkicked in and I tried to take his head off.”

In the opening bout on Facebook Live, talented undefeated middleweight Erickson Lubin (17-0, 12 KOs) knocked out previously once-beaten Juan Ubaldo Cabrera (23-2, 15 KOs) di 2:09 pusingan kedua.

 

“He was a little awkward in the first round,’’ Erickson said. “I set him up with my jab and I knew I hurt him in the second. That’s when I knew it was time for him to go.

 

I think that fight definitely proves that I’m in the discussion as one of the top up and comers in the sport, but I don’t feel any pressure. I’m back in the gym pada hari Isnin.

 

I want to be undisputed champion. I want all of the belts. Give me the Charlos, Julian Williams, any of them.

 

I’ll take whoever is in front of me next, but those names and put them in bold letters and you know I’ll be front and center for that Charlo-Williams fight.

 

The SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING doubleheader and SHOWTIME INTERNATIONAL telecast will re-air on Monday, Disember. 12, 10 petang. ET/PT pada masa pameran melampau. The fights were promoted by Ringstar Sports and TGB Promotions and sponsored by Corona.

Roach (Cuellar), Garcia (Ibu), Shields (Charlo) dan Edwards (Williams) Bercakap dengan media di pusat bandar Sheraton Los Angeles mengenai pejuang mereka dan perlawanan yang sangat dinanti -nantikan pada hujung minggu ini di Los Angeles.
Berikut adalah apa yang para peserta untuk mengatakan Rabu:
Freddie Roach, Jurulatih Cuellar
Bagaimana hubungan anda dengan cuellar berkembang?
“Saya mendapat tahu Cuellar dengan baik dan telah menghabiskan banyak masa dengannya. Saya rasa dia banyak belajar dan saya fikir dia akan membawanya ke dalam perjuangan dengannya. Dia bersedia dan dia tidak akan pergi ke sana hanya cuba mencari kalah mati. Dia pukulan yang baik dan semua orang menganggap dia mencari KO, Tetapi saya memberitahunya untuk membiarkannya berlaku. Sekiranya anda memaksanya, Ia tidak akan berlaku.
“Dia pergi ke sana dengan lawan yang baik, seorang pejuang yang berpengalaman dengan banyak pergaduhan yang baik di bawah tali pinggangnya. Dia ditangkap sebelum ini dan tahu bagaimana mengatasinya. Dan jika [Ibu] bergerak, Kami akan memotong cincin untuk menjadikannya lebih kecil dan menetapkan perangkap untuknya. Sekiranya dia cuba maju ke hadapan, Saya mahu lelaki saya menunjukkan kuasa beliau sama ada cara dan menunjukkan kepadanya siapa bosnya.”
Di Garcia mempunyai bahagian atas dengan melatih Cuellar:
“Saya tidak tahu bagaimana hubungan mereka dan saya tidak tahu berapa lama mereka bersama. Saya mendengar bahawa semasa kem latihannya bahawa dia telah pergi ke Florida untuk jurulatih lain jadi saya tidak tahu betapa hebatnya mereka benar -benar bergaul tetapi sekali lagi, Saya tidak begitu bimbang tentang bahagian yang lain. Saya tahu lelaki saya sudah bersedia untuk pertarungan 12 pusingan yang sukar.
“Dia tahu pejuang saya dengan baik dan saya telah berusaha memperbaiki pejuang saya dan dia berkata dia tidak pernah belajar apa -apa di sana, Tetapi setiap hari dia belajar di gim saya. Saya tidak fikir dia lelaki yang sama yang digunakan oleh Robert dan saya fikir dia bertambah baik di banyak kawasan yang berbeza dan saya fikir dia akan menunjukkannya dalam perjuangan.”
Apa yang anda ramalkan untuk Cuellar?
“Saya meramalkan sudut yang lebih baik, tidak begitu luas dengan pukulan, tidak begitu besar dengan mereka. Dia pergi ke sana mencari kalah mati berkali -kali dan saya telah memberitahunya untuk membiarkannya berlaku. Dia perlu mendapatkan sedikit jabnya. Dia mempunyai jab yang baik tetapi dia tidak membuangnya kerana dia selalu mencari rumah. Jadi, Kami telah banyak bekerja bukan sahaja mencari rumah yang berjalan segera dan pergi ke sana dan memecahkan lelaki ini.”
Apa rancangan permainan jika Abner datang ke kotak?
“Saya rasa dia akan cuba membuang kita, ya, Oleh itu, kita perlu memberi tekanan kepadanya dan kita perlu membuatnya dekat dengan tali. Kami perlu menetapkan perangkap di tali dan ke sudut dan kami bersedia untuk itu. Kami bersiap sedia [Ibu] Datang ke kami juga, Mencuba untuk menangkapnya lebih awal dan saya mahu Cuellar menunjukkan kekuatannya dengan segera kerana saya fikir jika kita boleh membawanya ke kotak dan bergerak, Dia tidak boleh memenangi perjuangan dengan bergerak.”
ROBERT GARCIA, Ibu’ Jurulatih
“Cuellar sangat kuat dan sangat sukar. Dia mempunyai kekuatan yang luar biasa. Dia sangat kuat secara fizikal dan mental. Dia mempunyai mentaliti pahlawan yang hanya pergi ke sana mencari kalah mati.
“Saya tidak mempunyai resipi rahsia. Cuma saya tahu Abner berada dalam keadaan yang sangat baik dan kami mempunyai setahun untuk mempersiapkan perjuangan ini. Dan saya tahu cuellar dengan baik. Saya tahu bagaimana dia berfikir dan itu boleh menjadi tambahan. Saya rasa menghadapi lelaki yang saya gunakan untuk melatih boleh menjadi kelebihan bagi kita.
“Saya kenal Yesus dan bagaimana dia berada di bilik persalinan. Dan saya boleh menggunakannya terhadapnya. Walaupun dia bersama jurulatih hebat di Freddie Roach, Dia tidak pernah keluar ke arena bersamanya. Saya melakukannya selama lima pergaduhan dan selama dua tahun. Tetapi saya tidak fikir saya memerlukan kelebihan itu.
“Sekiranya Abner melakukan semua yang perlu dilakukannya, Tidak syak lagi dia akan keluar dari sana juara dunia. Tetapi ini adalah pertarungan pertama saya dengannya jadi saya tidak tahu sama ada semasa perjuangan dia akan melupakan semua yang saya katakan kepadanya, Dan lakukan apa yang biasa dilakukannya. Dia mengambil banyak perkara baik dari saya, Jadi saya fikir dia akan berpegang pada rancangan permainan.”
Apa yang paling menarik perhatian anda mengenai abner kem ini?
“Untuk latihan tahun penuh dan mempunyai tarikh dan kemudian tarikh dibatalkan, ditangguhkan, berubah. Sudah empat tarikh. Mereka dijadualkan bertarung pada bulan Mac, Kemudian Jun. Kemudian kita sepatutnya bertarung pada bulan Oktober dan sekarang Disember. Dia tidak pernah menunjukkan tanda -tanda kekecewaan atau kecewa. Dia selalu berfikir seperti saya fikir: Perkara berlaku atas alasan dan ini hanya memberi kita lebih banyak masa untuk bekerjasama dan belajar antara satu sama lain. Jadi, Saya fikir ia adalah perkara terbaik yang berlaku.”
Adakah anda selalu mempunyai aspirasi untuk menjadi jurulatih?
“Tidak pernah melakukannya. Lucu bagaimana ia berlaku. Semasa saya bertempur terakhir di 26, Rancangan saya adalah untuk melupakan tinju. Saya benci tinju. Beberapa pergaduhan terakhir yang saya ada, saya tidak mahu berada di gelanggang. Saya tidak mahu ada kaitan dengannya. Tetapi kemudian saya mula datang ke gim ayah saya di Oxnard (Calif.). Perkara yang paling saya sukai adalah perjalanannya — kerana saya mengembara ke seluruh dunia semasa amatur dan kebaikan. Tiga pergaduhan pertama saya berada di Jepun. Tetapi kami tidak menikmatinya. Saya selalu berusaha membuat berat badan. Dan saya tidak pernah menikmatinya. Tetapi saya tidak pernah fikir saya akan berada dalam kedudukan ini untuk melatih sembilan juara dunia.
“Saya akan mempunyai saya 10ke- juara dunia, Dan saya berharap ia Sabtu ini. Saya sangat yakin mengenainya. Suatu hari saya akan mempunyai 15 Atau mungkin 20, Tetapi itulah satu perkara yang saya tidak suka lakukan ialah meramalkannya. Tetapi saya berasa sangat baik kita boleh menarik satu ini.”
Siapa pilihan anda untuk Jurulatih Tahun Ini?
“Manny Robles mempunyai dua juara dunia dan mempunyai dua pejuang yang sangat baik. Dan Freddie Roach mempunyai tahun yang hebat dengan Pacquiao. Jadi, Saya rasa mereka akan menjadi pilihan yang baik. Saya percaya Manny Robles layak mendapatnya.”
Adakah anda mendapat kredit yang anda kenakan?
“Kebanyakan politik dan siapa yang anda tahu. Adakah saya akan mendapatkannya lagi? Saya betul -betul tidak peduli. Pejuang saya gembira dan keluarga saya gembira. Saya mendapat cinta dari anda wartawan dan peminat. Dan itu semua yang penting bagi saya dan pasukan saya.”
Ronnie SHIELDS, Jurulatih Charlo ini
“Yang saya dengar adalah Charlo takut. Jermall tidak takut untuk melawan sesiapa. Mengapa seorang lelaki yang menjadi juara dunia takut berjuang [Williams]?
“Jermall dan Julian berlari antara satu sama lain beberapa kali sebagai amatur, Tetapi bukan sebagai profesional. Saya rasa mereka berdua menyedari bahawa mereka akan bertemu di gelanggang dan itu akan berlaku.
“Saya tidak benar -benar terkejut perjuangan ini berlaku pada awal kerjaya mereka, Kerana kedua -dua lelaki adalah pejuang yang hebat. Dan mereka berdua layak berada di bahagian atas.”
Di Charlo memanggil Williams An “tiada siapa yang terkalahkan”:
“Itu hanya Jermall [ketawa]. Semua pejuang yakin dengan kemampuan mereka, Dan dia hanya merasakan dia lelaki yang lebih baik. Dan saya gembira dia merasakan seperti itu, Kerana saya tidak perlu melakukan apa -apa tambahan untuk memotivasi dia. Dia sangat bermotivasi, dan bersedia untuk pergi.”
Bagaimana anda fikir perjuangan ini akan berakhir?
“Saya tidak melihat hujungnya, Saya hanya melihat permulaan. Sekiranya anda pergi mencari untuk mengetuk lelaki itu pada pusingan awal dan jangan faham, Apa yang akan berlaku di pusingan kemudian? Saya fikir saya mempunyai Jermall ke titik di mana dia boleh pergi 12 pusingan dengan sesiapa sahaja. Dia tidak peduli siapa itu.”
Apa yang dilakukan oleh Julian Williams?
“Saya rasa Julian melakukan banyak perkara dengan baik. Anda mesti mempunyai asas mudah dalam tinju, yang saya rasa membawa banyak pejuang. Anda mesti mempunyai jab yang baik, Gabungan pukulan. Dan Jermall mempunyai perkara yang sama. Saya rasa ia akan turun ke siapa yang mempunyai kehendak terbesar untuk memenangi perjuangan ini. Lelaki saya mempunyai kehendak besar untuk memenangi perjuangan ini.”
Apa yang diremehkan mengenai Jermall yang memerangi peminat mungkin tahu sekarang?
“Saya fikir ramai orang tidak tahu betapa pintarnya individu. Di luar cincin, dan di dalam cincin. Dia sangat berbeza daripada dia muncul di khalayak ramai. Dia lelaki yang sangat tenang dan tidak banyak berbangga.
“Hari -hari ini anda melihat banyak pejuang menggunakan lelaki yang berbeza, Dan bukan hanya lelaki yang sama [Dari segi jurulatih]. Saya rasa banyak pejuang mempercayai orang yang berbeza, Dan bukan hanya lelaki yang sama.
“Saya telah mengenali Jermall sejak berusia lapan tahun dan saya tahu jenis lelaki dia, Dan apa kehendaknya. Saya tidak nampak sesiapa yang memukulnya. Dia hanya mempunyai kehendak yang kuat untuk menang, Dan dia melakukan semuanya dengan betul. Dan itu sukar untuk mengatakan tentang lelaki lain.”
“Ini boleh menjadi perjuangan terakhir Jermall di 154 pound. Tetapi dia akan membuat berat badan pada hari Jumaat. Sekiranya ada kemungkinan dia tidak akan membuat berat badan, Saya tidak akan membiarkannya [berjuang di 154 pound] kerana saya menyedari ia terlalu berbahaya, Dan saya tidak akan mengambil kesempatan itu dengan lelaki saya.”
Stephen Edwards, Williams’ Jurulatih
“Kami sudah bersedia untuk perjuangan ini, Mungkin setahun setengah yang lalu tetapi malangnya ia mengambil masa lebih lama daripada yang kita fikirkan untuk membuahkan hasil. Tetapi dia mempunyai kem yang hebat. Saya tahu jermall adalah pejuang yang hebat, Dia mempunyai jurulatih yang hebat dan saya menjangkakan perjuangan yang hebat. Saya rasa itu sebenarnya, Benar -benar sukar untuk mengalahkan seorang pejuang yang tidak terkalahkan yang tidak tahu bagaimana kehilangan.
“Kami mempunyai tugas besar di hadapan kami tetapi dia akan menjadi lelaki yang tidak terkalahkan ketiga yang Julian telah berjuang. Jadi, Dia biasa berada di bawah tekanan seperti itu.”
Mengenai Mengetahui Kehidupan Masa Lalu Julian Di Jalan:
“Saya kenal dia tetapi saya tidak melatihnya pada masa itu. Ironinya, Saya kenal Julian 2007 dan saya pernah bekerja di tempat perlindungan yang dia ada. Malangnya, Oleh kerana keadaan saya tidak bertemu dengannya sehingga saya mengadakan pesta pertarungan untuk pertarungan Floyd Mayweather-Ricky Hatton dan kami menjadi kawan baik dan kemudian saya mula melatihnya 2010. Ketika dia datang ke pesta, saya tahu siapa dia dari menghadiri beberapa pergaduhan amaturnya dan ketika dia sudah bersedia untuk mengubah pro, Dia meminta pertolongan saya. Kami mempunyai hubungan di luar tinju dan kemudian saya mula bekerja dengannya dan di sini kami berada.”
Adakah dia membuka kepada anda mengenai kisahnya sejurus selepas anda mengenalnya?
“Saya jenis sudah mengetahuinya sehingga bukan wahyu. Ia berlaku secara organik, anda tahu, Semasa anda mengenali seseorang dan anda berada di sekelilingnya, Saya agak mula belajar perkara yang berbeza tentang dia dan kami mula bercakap lebih lanjut mengenainya. Sebenarnya, Banyak perkara yang timbul melalui tinju kerana saya akan bertanya kepadanya 'Bagaimana anda tidak memenangi warga negara sebaik anda?’ Saya fikir dia adalah amatur terbaik di bandar. Saya akan katakan: 'Berapa lama anda berlari?’ Dan 'jenis diet yang anda lakukan?’ Dan dia akan berkata 'Saya hanya menurunkan berat badan dengan mengambil julap.’ Saya fikir dia membunuh dirinya sendiri dan ketika itulah saya mahu membawanya dalam latihan. Saya kata lelaki, jika dia 77-10 Sebagai seorang amatur mengambil julap untuk menurunkan berat badan, Dia merosakkan lapisan perutnya dan mengurangkan tahap tenaganya juga. Jadi, Saya berkata kepada diri saya 'Kanak -kanak ini mempunyai peningkatan besar.’
“Sekiranya saya dapat membuatnya membeli diet, beli untuk melakukan perkara dengan cara yang betul, Dia boleh menjadi juara dunia. Saya fikir saya percaya bahawa dia akan menjadi juara dunia sebelum dia melakukannya. Begitulah kisah -kisah itu mula membongkar tempat tinggalnya, bahawa dia tidak mempunyai apa -apa untuk dimakan, bahawa dia akan bekerja di McDonalds dan tempat lain dan itu akan menjadi dietnya.
“Ini adalah pejuang peringkat kebangsaan, kedudukan No. 3 Di negara ini diet McDonald. Oleh itu, saya selalu berada di belakang fikiran saya bahawa dia mempunyai peningkatan yang luar biasa dan tidak kira apa yang sedang berlaku atau apa yang dikatakan orang, Saya lebih mempercayai mata saya daripada saya mempercayai orang lain dan itulah yang saya percaya.”
Sejauh mana anda fikir masa lalu beliau masuk ke dalam cara dia bertarung?
“Saya pasti berfikir bahawa dia mempunyai sedikit kemarahan. Dia sedikit introvert dan saya sangat serupa dengan perkara -perkara tertentu yang kita tidak bercakap. Membuatnya bersedia untuk Centenofight Hugo ketika ibunya meninggal dunia, Kami tidak pernah membincangkannya. Itu perkara paling aneh di dunia. Saya memeluknya, Saya memberitahunya saya akan membantunya dengan pengaturan pengebumian kerana dia seorang lelaki muda dan dia tidak tahu bagaimana untuk mengendalikan perkara itu.”
Apa yang boleh anda katakan mengenai Jermall?
“Dia tidak lebih baik daripada Julian pada apa sahaja. Saya tidak cuba mengakui apa -apa. Dia tidak menumbuk lebih keras, Dia tidak lebih cepat dan anda semua boleh memetik saya apabila saya mengatakan dia tidak lebih baik daripada dia tanpa apa -apa. Dan tekad. Sekiranya ia turun ke titik siapa yang benar -benar sanggup kehilangan nyawanya di gelanggang, Saya sudah tahu siapa yang sanggup kehilangan nyawanya di gelanggang. Tetapi dia tidak lebih baik kepadanya pada apa sahaja. Tidak ada. Bukan hanya tekad, Julian hanyalah pejuang yang lebih mahir dan dia mempunyai lebih banyak di dalam dan dia akan menunjukkan kepada semua orang pada hari Sabtu malam.”
