Das sagten die Konferenzteilnehmer am Donnerstag:

GERVONTA DAVIS

„Mein Team und ich haben beschlossen, unser Camp nach Las Vegas zu verlegen, damit wir ein perfektes Camp haben können. Wir verbrachten 15 Wochen im Training, Ich bin also gut vorbereitet. Hoffentlich ist Leo gut vorbereitet und wir geben den Fans, was sie sehen wollen.

"Wir wissen, dass Leo mit vielen Schlägen kommen wird und ich werde explosiv sein. Es geht darum, den Fans etwas Gutes zu tun. Ich bin dankbar, in dieser Position zu sein und bin bereit. Samstagabend wird eine unvergessliche Nacht.

„Ihm nichts wegzunehmen, Yuriorkis Gamboa versuchte nur, gegen mich zu überleben. Es ist schwieriger, Schläge abzuwehren, wenn jemand nicht versucht, den Kampf zu führen. Ich weiß, dass Leo kommen wird, um zu kämpfen. Ich denke, diese Leistung wird mich auf die nächste Stufe bringen.

"Ich glaube nicht, dass ich ihn ausschalten muss, Ich muss einfach rausgehen und großartig sein. Vergiss alles andere, Ich muss nur rausgehen und allen zeigen, dass ich der Top-Typ in der Boxwelt bin. Das ist mein Hauptziel.

"Michael Jordan las die Zeitung und tat, was sie sagten, er könne es nicht. Das ist was ich tue. Ich muss beweisen, dass ich am Samstagabend der böseste Mann im Sport bin.

"Leo wird kommen, um zu kämpfen, und es geht nur darum, dass ich das tue, was ich am besten kann. Sie können das Potenzial eines Kämpfers von außen sehen, aber man muss sehen, dass es tatsächlich in einem Kampf herauskommt, um es zu glauben. In dieser Position bin ich. Jeder weiß, dass ich großartig bin, Ich muss es nur zeigen.

"Leo hat gezeigt, dass er ein erstklassiger Kämpfer ist, und er tritt gegen einen Sprengstoff an, mächtiger Kämpfer wie ich. Ich denke, der Gewinner sollte oben sein 10 der Pfund-für-Pfund-Liste.

„Floyd Mayweather hat mir gerade gesagt, ich soll trotz allem, was mit der Pay-per-View-Woche einhergeht, konzentriert bleiben. Ich muss zuerst die Arbeit erledigen, Aber tun Sie auch alles, was dazu gehört, der nächste Pay-per-View-Star zu sein.

"Ich bin einer dieser Kämpfer, die wissen, wie man sich konzentriert, wenn ich etwas Großes vor mir habe. Keiner der großen Kämpfer vor mir ist eingefroren, wenn es Zeit für die Krise ist. Ich konnte mich immer konzentrieren, wenn große Dinge auf dem Spiel stehen. Das habe ich für dieses Trainingslager getan.

"Ich konzentriere mich nicht wirklich auf jemanden, der nicht Leo Santa Cruz ist. Ich kann Leo nicht übersehen. Soweit jeder andere Kämpfer da draußen, Sie sind mir gerade nicht wichtig. Ich werde es auf dem Weg beweisen. Dies ist ein Schritt näher, um den Punkt zu beweisen, den ich beweisen möchte. “

LEO SANTA CRUZ

"Davon habe ich immer geträumt. Als ich ein kleiner Junge war, Ich wollte auf dieser Bühne sein. Ich lebe diesen Traum und bin sehr glücklich und aufgeregt. Ich hätte nie gedacht, dass ich es schaffen würde. Ich dachte, es wäre wie ein Lottogewinn. Aber danke an die Fans, Ich bin hier, wo ich bin.

"Ich stehe vor dem besten Kämpfer der Division. Wenn du der Beste sein willst, du musst das Beste schlagen. Ich muss gegen den besten Kämpfer antreten. Ich wollte mich herausfordern. Ich weiß, dass dies ein gefährlicher Kampf für mich ist, aber ich möchte mich testen.

"Wir haben beide gelitten und viel durchgemacht, um hierher zu kommen. Keiner von uns möchte dorthin zurückkehren, wo wir angefangen haben. Ich weiß also, dass wir beide den Fans einen großartigen Kampf liefern werden.

„Ich habe das Herz eines mexikanischen Kriegers. Mein Vater hat mir gesagt, ich soll einen klugen Kampf führen, aber obwohl er das sagen wird, Es besteht eine gute Chance, dass ich manchmal mit ihm kämpfe. Egal was, Wir werden einen Weg finden, ihn zu schlagen.

"Ich mache mir keine Sorgen, der Außenseiter zu sein. Jeder hat seine Meinung. Es ist meine Aufgabe, da rauszugehen und den Zweiflern das Gegenteil zu beweisen. Ich habe hart trainiert, um dort rauszugehen und diesen Samstag zu machen.

"Gervonta ist der beste Gegner, dem ich je begegnet bin. Er ist der stärkste Kämpfer, dem ich je begegnet bin. Die Kämpfe zwischen Abner Mares und Carl Frampton waren eine großartige Erfahrung für diese Art von Kampf. Ich habe viel aus diesen vier Kämpfen gelernt und seitdem viel mehr gelernt.

„Es würde mir die Welt bedeuten, ein Fünf-Divisionen-Champion zu werden. Es wäre ein weiterer wahr gewordener Traum. Ich würde den Nachnamen von Santa Cruz genau dort oben mit den Besten setzen.

"Gervonta ist ein großer Kerl und ich weiß, dass er hart getroffen wird. Aber ich habe mit größeren Jungs im ganzen Camp trainiert und ich konnte alles nehmen, was auf mich geworfen wurde.

„Die Fans möchten, dass du einen Hin- und Her-Krieg machst. Ich weiß, dass ich gegen Gervonta klug kämpfen muss. Ich werde mich so sehr wie möglich bemühen, auf den Rat meines Vaters zu hören.

„Ich habe diesen Kampf definitiv genommen, um die Kritiker zu beruhigen. Die Leute sagten, ich wollte nicht gegen die großen Namen kämpfen. Also habe ich mich der größten Herausforderung in der Division gestellt und das ist Gervonta Davis.

„Ich überlasse die Meinungen den Fans und Medien. Meine Aufgabe ist es, den Sieg zu holen und den Fans einen großartigen Kampf zu liefern. Ich werde mein Bestes geben und alles im Ring lassen. "

CALVIN FORD, Davis 'Trainer

„Camp war großartig. Es war unglaublich. Ich schätze die Arbeit, die er geleistet hat, sehr. Ich kann es kaum erwarten, Tank im Ring zu sehen. Ich freue mich auf großartige Leistungen beider Kämpfer.

"Tank" hat viele Dinge erreicht, zu denen ich ihn gebeten habe, Aber das ist der Höhepunkt von allen hier. Beide Familien sind dieselbe Linie mit unterschiedlichen Wegen gegangen. Beide haben die Chance, mit diesem Sieg zu Größen zu werden.

"Jedes Mal, wenn ich jetzt auf" Tank "schaue, Ich erinnere mich an die jüngeren Jahre im Fitnessstudio mit ihm als Kind. Jetzt ist er der Mann, für den ich ihn immer angesehen habe. Er ist ein Familienvater, Geschäftsmann und ein wunderbarer Kämpfer. Es ist erstaunlich zu sehen, dass einer meiner Jungs erwachsen ist. "

JOSÉ SANTA CRUZ, Santa Cruz 'Vater und Trainer

„Wir hatten ein wirklich gutes Trainingslager und verstehen die Bedeutung dieses Kampfes. Leo ist auf diesen Kampf am Samstag voll vorbereitet und ich erwarte von ihm eine großartige Leistung.

"Ich bin sehr dankbar, hier zu sein. Ich bin so glücklich, mit meinem Sohn für einen so großen Kampf hier zu sein und ihn führen und ihm helfen zu können, seinen Traum zu verwirklichen.

„Wir wissen, dass Davis ein sehr starker und versierter Kämpfer ist. Aber Leo hat es gerade benutzt, um ihn jeden Tag im Fitnessstudio zu motivieren, und das wirst du am Samstag sehen können. "

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Präsident, Sport- und Eventprogrammierung, Showtime Networks Inc..

„Einer der größten Gründe, warum ich das Boxen liebe, ist, dass wir junge Männer beobachten können, wie "Tank" Davis und Leo Santa Cruz, entwickeln und reifen direkt vor unseren Augen. Dies ist unser neunter Kampf mit "Tank" und 13th mit Leo. Wir haben sie als Kämpfer reifen sehen und wir haben sie als junge Männer reifen sehen. Wir haben gesehen, wie sie gekämpft haben, Schweiß, und Triumph. Wir haben gesehen, wie sie Väter wurden. "

"Ich erinnere mich an das erste Mal, als ich 'Tank' traf., Es war April 2016 in Washington, D.C. Er war auf der nicht im Fernsehen übertragenen Karte eines Kampfes mit Adrien Broner. Er hatte bereits gekämpft, Er kam während der Sendung vorbei und Floyd stellte ihn vor. Ich erinnere mich an seine Worte, „Das ist mein junger Kämpfer. Pass auf dieses Kind auf. "Und wir schauen seitdem zu.

„Ich erinnere mich, dass ich Leo im Juni zum ersten Mal getroffen habe 2012. Kurz vor seinem ersten Weltmeistertitelkampf. Er war sehr bescheiden, ruhig, leise gesprochen, fast schüchterne junge Männer. Ganz anders als der Typ, den ich im Ring gesehen habe 48 Stunden danach. Der Punkt ist, Wir waren auf der Reise dieser jungen Männer.

„Sie haben gegen die Chancen gekämpft, buchstäblich seit der Geburt. Wir hatten das Glück, währenddessen Zeit mit ihnen zu verbringen ALL ACCESS. Sie öffneten ihre Herzen, ihre Gedanken, und sich selbst, um ihre Geschichten zu teilen. Das, was ich am meisten gehört habe, ist, dass die Schwierigkeit bei diesem Kampf nicht darin besteht, ob die Leute ihn sehen wollen oder ob sie ihn kaufen werden, es ist, für wen sie Wurzeln schlagen werden. Denn wenn Sie die Geschichten dieser jungen Männer kennen, was sie durchgemacht haben, und was sie erlebt haben, es ist unglaublich.

„Unter dem Strich haben wir bei diesen beiden jungen Männern zwei der erfolgreichsten und beliebtesten jungen Kämpfer des heutigen Sports. Leo ist seitdem fast durchweg ein Champion 2012. "Tank" hatte Ausverkauf oder fast Ausverkauf in Los Angeles, Baltimore und Atlanta, erst letztes Jahr. Wir haben diese beiden versierten jungen Männer, die am Samstagabend kämpfen. Sie müssen ihre Reise respektieren, woher sie kommen, und respektiere die Teams, die um ihn herum kommen.

"Wir wissen, was am Samstagabend passieren wird. Leo wird in den Ring kommen, Wirf viele Schläge und zeige eine Aktivitätsrate, die mit keiner anderen im Sport vergleichbar ist. "Panzer" wird die Kraft zeigen, Geschwindigkeit, und die Sportlichkeit, die ihn zu einem der am schnellsten aufstrebenden jungen Stars gemacht hat, die wir seit einiger Zeit im Sport gesehen haben. Darüber hinaus, es wird an ihnen liegen, so wie es ihnen ein Leben lang überlassen war. "

JUAN HERALDEZ TRAINING CAMP NOTES

Hinterlasse einen Kommentar
"Im Oktober 31 everyone will see what I’m capable of," – Heraldez

Unbeaten Contender Juan Heraldez Faces Former World Champion Regis Prograis in SHOWTIME PPV® ActionSaturday, Oktober 31 Live From the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas in an Event Presented by Premier Boxing Champions

NEW YORK – Oktober 16, 2020 – Unbeaten super lightweight contender Juan Heraldez is deep into training camp and shared insights into his preparations as he nears a showdown against former champion Regis "Rougarou" Prograis am Samstag, Oktober 31 live on SHOWTIME PPV in a Premier Boxing Champions event headlined by Gervonta Davis vs. Leo Santa Cruz live from Alamodome in San Antonio.

“It’s been a long eight-week camp preparing for Prograis,” said Heraldez. “We’re fighting a different style of fighter, which is a good thing because he’s the type of fighter who comes to fight. A style like this makes it easier for me to train and prepare.

“Prograis has power, but you have to land it and that’s where my defense comes into play. My defense has always been a factor and it’s something we always tweak and find ways for me to be sharper. On paper his credentials are up there, but in the ring all of that goes out the door. Wenn die Glocke läutet, I’m not thinking about him being a former world champion. I fight and get the job done.”

Heraldez has adapted to the changes produced by training during the pandemic, and has been able to keep focused throughout camp. He credits the infrastructure at the Mayweather Boxing Club, where he trains in Las Vegas, for helping keep things running smoothly as he prepares to face his toughest opponent to date.

“The pandemic has had a slight effect on camp like it has with everything else,” said Heraldez. “There are so many protocols and safety measures, so you can’t just rotate sparring partners as easily as you could before. Adjusting to wearing a mask in the gym and getting tested constantly are things you learn to get used to. The Mayweather Boxing Club has done a great job of keeping the gym clean and safe for all of us. A lot of my stablemates are here in Las Vegas preparing for big fights, so it’s a great feeling knowing that we can come to a gym where safety is the top priority.”

The unbeaten Heraldez will return to the ring after fighting former world champion Argenis Mendez to a draw in May 2019 auf Showtime. Heraldez had put together an impressive string of victories dating back to a 2017 triumph over then-unbeaten Jose Miguel Borrego, and included a knockout win over Eddie Ramirez in February 2019 leading into the Mendez fight. Heraldez has continued to fine-tune his arsenal heading into the Prograis fight.

“My team and I have been working on various things such as my jab, but most importantly where I am in the ring at all times,” said Heraldez. “My ring awareness has elevated this camp. My coach and I keep things old school, we don’t have a strength and conditioning coach, we work on the basics and get better at them each camp. Boxing is simple. Stick and move and don’t get hit. The training I get from Coach Otis Pimpleton covers so many things such as cardio, Technik, ring IQ, usw., so my job is just to listen to my team and trust them when I’m in camp and in the ring on fight night.”

While Heraldez is looking to improve on the draw in his last fight, Prograis will be seeking to bounce back from his first career defeat, a memorable 140-pound unification clash with Josh Taylor. With both fighters hungry for a win on October 31, Heraldez expects an exciting night for fans.

“On fight night, both of our styles are going to make for great action,” said Heraldez. “We both bring a lot to the ring. We’re both fighting to be the best, but on October 31, everyone will see what I’m capable of.”

The four-fight pay-per-view card will be the first major boxing event with fans in attendance since COVID-19 forced a halt to U.S. sports in March.

The stacked undercard will feature unbeaten San Antonio native and WBA Super Lightweight Champion Mario "The Aztec" Barrios defending his title against hard-hitting Ryan „Cowboy“ Karl in the co-main event and former super lightweight world champion Regis "Rougarou" Prograis will take on unbeaten contender Juan Heraldez in einem 10-Runden Showdown. In der Sendung Opener, lightweight contenders Isaac Cruz und Diego Magdaleno will battle in an IBF title eliminator bout.

The highly anticipated main event will be contested at 130-pounds and will be fought for both Santa Cruz’s 130-pound title and Davis’ 135-pound title, which they each won in their previous fight. Two crowd favorites with massive followings, Davis vs. Santa Cruz is an all-action style matchup, with Davis owning a .957 knockout rate, while Santa Cruz is long established as one of the busiest punchers and best pressure fighters in the sport.

Davis vs. Santa Cruz will be a rare clash in boxing history in which world titles in two weight classes will be at stake. Other notable instances in recent boxing history are the 1988 Sugar Ray Leonard vs. Donny Lalonde fight for the light heavyweight and super middleweight titles, und das 2014 Floyd Mayweather vs. Marcos Maidana rematch for the super welterweight and welterweight championships.

“I’m looking forward to showing the world how hard I’ve been working in camp,", Sagte Davis. “We are just a few weeks away, and I’m already in great shape.

“Oktober 31 is going to be the biggest fight of my career,” sagte Santa Cruz. “I’m going to fight a very tough opponent, maybe the toughest opponent of my career. Two titles are going to be on the line, and this will be my first time headlining a pay-per-view. So I’m going to do everything that I can to put on a good show. Davis is known for his power. But I think with my experience and ring IQ I can break him down. He’s probably going to be very aggressive in the early rounds. But if I do what I’m supposed to, and execute our game plan, I will win.’’

The event is promoted by Mayweather Promotions, TGB Promotions, GTD Promotions und Santa Cruz Boxing Club.

“This fight between Gervonta Davis and Leo Santa Cruz is such a great fight that we had to have it with fans, which will be a first for a major boxing event since COVID-19 started,” said Floyd Mayweather, President of Mayweather Promotions and a 12-time, Fünf-Teilung Weltmeister. “Tank’ Davis is a special talent, a super skilled fighter and I have been in the gym regularly to watch and help him prepare for a tough opponent in Santa Cruz, who we all know always comes in shape and ready to fight.

Davis (23-0, 22 KOs) burst onto the scene with an explosive knockout victory over Jose Pedraza to win the IBF Junior Lightweight World Title in a star-making performance on SHOWTIME® im Januar 2017. Damals, he became the youngest world champion in boxing at age 22. Im Ring, Davis blends controlled aggression with blazing hand and foot speed, eye-catching power and sublime boxing skills. The dynamic combination of skills has made Davis a fan-favorite who filled arenas in Atlanta, Ga., and his hometown of Baltimore, Md., letztes jahr.

The 25-year-old began his 2019 with a knockout of Hugo Ruiz in February, before scoring a second-round stoppage of Ricardo Núñez in his homecoming fight in July. Davis closed out the year by capturing his lightweight title via 12th round TKO of former champion Yuriorkis Gamboa in December. Davis also owns a title-winning performance in which he dominated former champion Jesus Cuellar to capture the WBA 130-pound belt in 2018. Under the guidance of Mayweather Promotions, Davis will look to further improve his impressive portfolio with another title-winning performance in his first pay-per-view main event.

Bekämpfung von Los Angeles, Santa Cruz (37-1-1, 19 KOs) made his debut at super featherweight last November by defeating Miguel Flores to capture the WBA title. Santa Cruz has made his name in the sport by engaging in numerous Fight of the Year contenders, including two thrilling featherweight title duels against four-time champion Abner Mares and two-division champion Carl Frampton each. He lost his featherweight title in his first match against Frampton in 2016, but reclaimed it in their rematch the following year.

The 32-year-old has competed in title bouts in 17 seiner letzten 19 Kämpfe, while picking up belts at 118, 122, 126 and 130-pounds. The 130-pound title made Santa Cruz just the fifth fighter of Mexican descent to win titles in four weight classes, joining Oscar De La Hoya, Erik Morales, Jorge Arce and Mikey Garcia. Santa Cruz was introduced to the sport and trained throughout his career by his father Jose, along with his brothers Jose Armando, a former lightweight contender, und Antonio. Santa Cruz will look to become a five-division champion in his first pay-per-view headliner.

The 25-year-old Barrios (25-0, 16 KOs) will be making the first defense of his world title in his hometown of San Antonio. Barrios captured his 140-pound title in his last fight in September 2019, earning a hard-fought unanimous decision over then-unbeaten Batyr Akhmedov, dropping him twice and fighting through a cut suffered on a head butt. Barrios trains in Oakland, Calif. under the guidance of renowned coach Virgil Hunter. The five-foot ten-inch Barrios debuted as a super bantamweight in 2013, eventually moving up to 140-pounds full time in 2017 where he is 8-0 mit sieben Knockouts.

“The long layoff is finally over and fans can expect to see me go to war with Ryan Karl, who I know is coming to bring an aggressive fight to the table,“, sagte Barrios. “I’ve stayed in great shape during this past year, so now it’s time for me to keep giving boxing fans exciting fights. I’ll be representing my city of San Antonio and as always, everyone can expect to see me as explosive as ever. Am October 31, all the fans watching on pay-per-view will watch me make a statement as I defend my title.”

Born in Milano, Texas and now trained in Houston under the tutelage of top trainer Ronnie Shields, Karl (18-2, 11 KOs) will step in for his first title opportunity on October 31. The 28-year-old enters this fight on a three-bout winning streak, with all three wins coming in 2019, including a knockout of Kevin Watts to avenge one of his losses in an immediate rematch. Karl also owns victories over Kareem Martin and then-unbeaten Jose Felix Quezada during his pro career that dates back to 2014.

“I’ve been training for this my whole life and I’m not going to let it slip away,” said Karl. “We’re working hard in training camp to put on the best performance of my career. We know what we’re up against in Mario Barrios, but I’ve come too far not to take full advantage of this opportunity on October 31.”

A staple of the 140-pound elite, PROGRAMME (24-1, 20 KOs) returns to the ring after losing his title in an exciting unification clash via majority decision last October against Josh Taylor. The 31-year-old won his title by defeating Kiryl Relikh by TKO in April 2019 and has also earned stoppage victories over former unified champion Julius Indongo, and then-unbeaten contenders Joel Diaz Jr. and Juan Jose Velasco. Prograis was born in New Orleans but lives and fights out of Houston.

“This is a huge fight and I’m very thankful to PBC for giving me this opportunity,", Sagte Prograis. “I haven’t fought in a year and since then I’ve done a lot of self-reflection and moved from L.A. back to Texas. I’m more focused than I’ve ever been and I can’t wait to get back to my number one spot in the super lightweight division. I have to be a world champion again and I won’t stop until that happens.”

The 30-year-old Heraldez (16-0-1, 10 KOs) can vault himself into the top tier of 140-pound contenders with a career-best victory over Prograis on October 31. Born in Northridge, Cal. and training out of the Mayweather Promotions gym in Las Vegas, Heraldez most recently fought to a majority draw last May against former champion Argenis Mendez. Heraldez’s pro career has also seen him score victories over previously unbeaten Jose Miguel Borrego and tough contender Eddie Ramirez.

“It’s been a crazy year, but I took this opportunity to spend time with my family and sharpen my skills inside the ring,” said Heraldez. “There’s been a lot of great sparring happening at the Mayweather Boxing Club that I’ve taken advantage of. Ich habe einen starken Gegner vor mir, and that’s my only focus right now. I trust in my ability as a fighter and I trust my team to get me over the finish line with a victory on October 31. I’m thankful to Mayweather Promotions for putting me on such a large platform for this fight.”

Fighting out of his native Mexico City, Mexiko, Kreuz (19-1-1, 14 KOs) is unbeaten in his last 15 fights since dropping his sixth pro fight by decision. The 22-year-old knocked out 10-of-13 opponents between 2016 und 2018, before making his U.S. Debüt im Dezember 2019. That contest saw Cruz earn a unanimous decision over Miguel Perez, which he followed up in February of this year by defeating Thomas Mattice by decision on ShoBox: Die neue Generation.

“Since I started boxing, it has been my dream to fight on this stage in the United States,", Sagte Cruz. “I know that Diego Magdaleno is a very tough and experienced fighter, but it’s my time on October 31. The fans will see that I have what it takes to be world champion when I beat Magdaleno and announce myself as one of the best lightweights in the world.”

Magdaleno (32-3, 13 KOs) enters this fight coming off of an impressive victory over contender Austin Dulay in February that saw him drop Dulay on his way to a unanimous decision. The 33-year-old has challenged Roman Martinez for a 130-pound title and Terry Flanagan for a lightweight crown, while also battling lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez in February 2019. A Las Vegas native, Magdaleno has won four-of-five fights entering October 31, including a 10-round decision over Artyom Hovhannisyan.

“I’ve been super eager to get back into the ring since my last performance,” said Magdaleno. “That win sparked a fire in me and got me as motivated as I’ve ever been. Now that I’m in a title eliminator, I’m even more excited to return to action. I’m facing another young lion, but he’s lacking the experience that I have. Training with Bones Adams has made a world of difference in my career. I’ve made a transition to being more composed and smarter in the ring. I’m here to make a statement and claim what’s mine. I’m never going to back down until I get that world title.”

Kareem Martin in Battle of Prospects
FLINT, MY. – (Oktober 4, 2017) – Der ehemalige Super-Mittelgewicht Weltmeister Anthony Dirrell (30-1-1, 24 KOs) treffen Denis Douglin (20-5, 13 KOs) in a 10-round bout that headlines a Premier Boxing Champions special edition of TOE-bis-Fuß DIENSTAGS auf FS1 und Boxing Champions on FOX Deportes on November 17 from Dort Federal Credit Union Center in Flint, Michigan at 10:30 p.m. UND/ p.m. PT.
The 10-round bout is a homecoming for Dirrell, who was born and raised in Flint along with his brother and top contender, Andere. It will be the third time that he has fought in his hometown with the 32-year-old’s last outing in Flint ending with a knockout of Dante Craig at Atwood Stadium on July 2, 2011. Since losing his title via majority decision to Badou Jack in 2015, Dirrell has won three straight bouts including his most recent fight, a fifth-round stoppage of Norbert Nemesapati in January.
Karten für das Live-Event, which is promoted by TGB Promotions and A.D.D. Enterprises, beginnen um $20. Um Tickets kaufen, visit the Dort Federal Credit Union Center box office or Ticketmaster.com.
“Douglin has fought a lot of good fighters and I respect him, but he’s standing in the way of my title shot,” Said Dirrell. “This is a chance for me to showcase my skills. I’m going for a stoppage, and I think I’m going to get it in the middle rounds. I want to put on a great performance and give the fans something to see. I’m going to get the job done.”
The 29-year-old Douglin of Marlboro, N.J. has stood in against some of the toughest boxers in the sport, including 168-pound champions David Benavidez and George Groves, plus 154-pound champion Jermell Charlo. In his last match, Douglin lost on a TKO to Benavidez after winning three straight bouts by stoppage.
“I’ve taken a lot of fights on short notice and that’s hurt me in the past, but I’ve had ample time and a great training camp to prepare for this fight,” Said Douglin. “I think Dirrell has a problem with guys who aren’t afraid of him and who will actually give him a fight. With my style and determination, I’m going to bring a lot more than he’s expecting. I’m going to bring it for 10 rounds and I know I’ll have my arm raised at the end of the day.”
Jamontay Clark (12-0, 7 KOs) und Ivan Golub (13-1, 11 KOs) will meet in an eight-round welterweight bout that serves as a rematch of their exciting Juni 30showdown which ended with Clark winning a unanimous decision.
The 23-year-old Clark of Cincinnati, Ohio is looking to remain unbeaten and pick up his third victory of the year, while the 28-year-old Golub, who was born in Ukraine and now lives in Brooklyn, wants to hand Clark the first loss of his career and erase what he believes was a bad decision in their first fight. Coming into the first fight between the two southpaw welterweight prospects, Golub had stopped seven straight opponents.
Ryan “Cowboy” Karl (14-1, 9 KOs) dauert an Kareem Martin (9-1-1, 3 KOs) in an eight-round junior welterweight match that opens televised coverage. The 25-year-old Karl of Houston is coming off a unanimous decision victory over Carlos Winston Velasquez in his last fight on Juli 18 as he bounced back from the first loss of his career when he lost to Eddie Ramirez in February.
The 22-year-old Martin of Washington D.C. scored a unanimous decision victory over Evincil Dixon in his last fight on August. 12 as he works his way back from a defeat to David Grayton last year.
“Anthony Dirrell headlining in his hometown of Flint will be a great treat for boxing fans in the area,” sagte Tom Brown, Präsident der TGB Promotions. “This is something that Anthony Dirrell has wanted for a long time and I’m sure that he is going to be at his absolute best and look to really impress in front of his fans on November 17. He will have a tough challenge from the strong Denis Douglin, but if he’s able to get by him, we could see Anthony Dirrell fighting for a world title in the very near future.”

TUNICA, FRAU (Februar 2, 2017) – Ex-Weltmeister Luis Collazo (37-7, 20 KOs) delivered an early “Knockout des Jahres” candidate with a sixth-round knockout of welterweight contender Sammy Vasquez Jr. (21-2, 15 KOs) Donnerstag Nacht im Main Event von Premier Boxing Champions auf FS1 und FOX Deportes Horseshoe Tunica Hotels & Casino in Tunica, Mississippi.
The Brooklyn-native Collazo started slow as Vasquez Jr. looked to control the fight with his movement and jab. The action began to pick-up in the third round as Collazo struck the first major blow of the fight, connecting on a right hand that sent Vasquez Jr. auf die Leinwand.
Vasquez Jr. stunned Collazo early in the fourth round with an overhand left and pressed forward to initiate numerous exchanges along the ropes. Collazo was able to hold off his younger opponent and do damage with body shots and short punches in the exchanges.
After a more tactical round five, Vasquez Jr. once again pushed forward on Collazo in the hopes of getting his offense going. The veteran Collazo was prepared for the attack and connected on a vicious right hand that put Vasquez on the mat and out for good as referee Bill Clancy halted the bout at 1:27 in die Runde.
Im Weltergewicht Aktion, fast-rising Cuban contender Yordenis Ugás (18-3, 8 KOs) earned a split-decision over Levan Ghvamichava (17-3-1, 13 KOs) in their 10-round bout DonnerstagNacht.
It was the third straight impressive victory for Ugas, who has put himself squarely in the conversation in the welterweight division. Ugas was in control of the early part of the fight, winning exchanges in the middle of the ring and breaking through the high and tight guard of Ghvamichava.
Ghvamichava was able to work his way back into the fight with an increased work rate in the middle rounds as he began to find openings in Ugas’ Verteidigung. Referee Bill Clancy deducted a point from Ugas in round eight after multiple warnings for low blows.
The action heated up in the final two rounds as both men exchanged heavy blows throughout. Ugas began to land his left hook successfully but Ghvamichava had his moments and continued throwing punches until the final bell. After 10-rounds of action the judges scores were 99-90, 97-94 for Ugas and 95-94 for Ghvamichava.
In a showdown of unbeaten super lightweight prospects, Chicago Eddie Ramirez (16-0, 11 KOs) earned a stoppage victory after nine rounds of action against Houston’s Ryan Karl (13-0, 9 KOs). Karl’s corner stopped the fight before the 10th und letzten Runde.
Ramirez was the more effective fighter from the start, working off of his jab to hit Karl with a big right hand that staggered him in the second round. Karl was able to weather the storm and compete throughout the middle rounds of the fight as he threw constant power punches in an attempt to catch Ramirez.
The momentum swung to Ramirez for good starting in the seventh round, when another right hand connected with Karl and opened up a cut over Karl’s left eye. A late flurry by Ramirez in round nine as he staggered Karl near the ropes and forced him to hold Ramirez. Karl was able to finish the round, but did not answer the bell for round 10 as his corner put a halt to the fight.
Hier ist, was die Kämpfer zu sagen hatte Donnerstag:
Luis Collazo
“Going into the fight I knew he didn’t like the body shots. In the locker room my team was telling me that he’s going to be waiting for it. We wanted to touch him soft down low and then go up top. We opened him up. We both tried to line up the hook and mine landed first.
“I’m a slow-starter. I’m better from a distance and I have the experience. Ich bin 35 but I still feel like I have a lot left in the ring.
“I’ve learned a lot about myself. I’m completely dedicated to this sport and ready to keep moving forward. Everyone said I was faded but now I have the opportunity to keep going.
“Sammy caught me with some good shots. He got me with a big overhand left. Er ist ein starker Kämpfer.
“There are a lot of great fights coming up in the welterweight division. I know Shawn Porter doesn’t have an opponent right now. I’m ready to get it on if he is.”
SAMMY VASQUEZ JR.
“I felt like I was starting to get in my groove. He just caught me with a really great shot at the right time.
“I knew his big punch was the right hook. I was working on keeping my hand up to block it. I dropped it at the wrong time and he got me.
“Obviously this is going to set me back. I need to come back stronger. I hope that I can come back and fight someone that can help me move up the ranks.”
JORDENIS UGAS
“I boxed from a distance like we prepared. I thought that I was in control and I thought I won easily.
“I was surprised it was a split-decision. I thought I won most of the rounds. He was a very tough opponent but I was ready for him and I did what I wanted to do.
“I was feeding off of my corner. I’m a top contender and I’m ready to face anybody.”
LEVAN GHVAMICHAVA
“I’m disappointed in the result. It’s hard to put into words. Es war ein enger Kampf. I thought a lot of his shots were being blocked and I thought I countered well.
“The referee did his best to control he low blows. You don’t want a fight to end in disqualification. But taking those shots effects everything.”
EDDIE RAMIREZ
“Ich bin froh. We worked hard and this is another step. We’re going to keep working hard. I have what it takes to be a world champion.
“Ryan Karl is a tough fighter. He came to give it all he had. He didn’t want to quit, but we broke him down and got the win.
“Karl and I both came to win. Someone’s perfect record had to go. There was no quit in him. I was going to finish the fight in the last round.
“My plan was to break him down. I never wanted this fight to go to decision. Ich tat was ich tun musste.
“I’m aiming high. Ich möchte das Beste zu kämpfen. If I keep working hard everything is going to take care of itself and I’ll get where I want to.
“I wanted to make him miss a lot while also being aggressive. We were ready to finish him off, we just wanted to go little by little and get the win.”
RYAN KARL
“I just wasn’t on heute Abend. I couldn’t hit my right hand how I wanted to. I give him all the credit. My timing wasn’t right. He looked great and I looked mediocre.
“It’s disappointing. Boxing is my job. I lost a lot in there. I have to get better. All that matters is winning the fight.”

Here is what Vasquez Jr. had to say about training, his matchup against Collazo and more:
On his upcoming opponent, Luis Collazo:
“This is a very challenging fight but one I believe I can win. Now that Collazo is one hundred percent healthy, I know he’s going to be at his best. We both are trying to get back on top so the fans can expect a great fight.”
Auf seinem letzten Trainingslager:
“Es ist schon eine tolle Trainingslager. We got a lot of good southpaw sparring and I feel sharp going into this fight. All the preparation has been done and now it’s time to fight. I’ll be at my best come fight night.”
On what he learned from his first defeat:
“It was a tough loss in my last fight with the late sub Felix Diaz. Although we fought another southpaw, our game plan was for Collazo, who is a totally different style. In this game, I must be prepared for any style that comes my way. I know that now and I’ll be fully prepared for anything that Collazo brings.”

Was ein Sieg für seine Karriere bedeuten wird:
“A win against Collazo will get me right back in the mix of things in the welterweight division. With only one loss on my record, I feel I still have a lot to give to this sport. A victory will open up a path to fight for a world title.”

SAMMY VASQUEZ JR.
“Luis Collazo is a really tough opponent. He’s always game. It doesn’t matter who he fights. I always enjoyed watching him growing up because he’s quick, strong and savvy.
“This is a fight I’ve been looking forward to. Collazo has fought everyone and he always gives a great fight. I couldn’t have thought of anybody better to have a great fight on television against. Everyone who knows the two of us, knows we’re going to come to fight.
“He’s never really been knocked out, just the mishap in the Thurman fight. Collazo hurt Thurman, and that’s a guy in his prime. Collazo isn’t in his prime, but age is just a number in this sport.
“We’re prepared. We know he’s a southpaw just like my last opponent. We were originally supposed to face him before Felix Diaz stepped in. The game plan is for me to dictate how this fight goes. I have to set the pace and control it.
“As long as I can control the fight, it’s smooth-sailing for me. I know he’s got a hard head and he’s going to come forward, so I think it’s going to be an exciting fight.”
Luis Collazo
“Sammy is a tough fighter. He’s been moving up in the ranks and faced some decent opposition. We’re both lefties and I think it’s going to be an explosive fight.
“This is another tough fight for me. I’ve been in there with the top guys and everyone knows I’m going to give it my all. I’m grateful to be back in this position. There are great fight fans here in Mississippi and I’m going to give them something to cheer about.
“I’m blessed to be able to do what I love to do and I do it with passion and drive. I hope everyone enjoys what happens am Donnerstag Nacht, because I know I will.
“I’ve been in this game for 17 years as a pro. I’ve seen every type of fighter. We’ll find outDonnerstag night how much I have left. Sometimes fighters can get counted out, but people don’t understand what’s going on behind the scenes. My preparation for this fight was great and we’ll find out Donnerstag if it translates to the ring.”
JORDENIS UGAS
“Ich freue mich auf diesen Kampf. I hope to give a great performance and continue on my way toward a world title.
“I’ve had a perfect training camp and I’m prepared to get a victory. This is my time to make another statement to all of the top fighters in the division. I’m ready for any challenge.”
LEVAN GHVAMICHAVA
“I’ve worked very hard in training camp to prepare for this fight. I’m excited to be here and have this opportunity to give the fans a great show.
“I’m going to give it my all in the ring and make sure I walk out of there with the victory. I know that I have a tough opponent, but I’m confident in my training and my skills.”
