Vasquez and Diaz both have world title aspirations but will have to navigate difficult southpaw opponents in the hopes of reaching the top levels of the welterweight division. Here is what both fighters had to say about each other, training camp, the 147-pound division and more:
SAMMY VASQUEZ JR.
On his opponent change from Luis Collazo to Felix Diaz
It’s unfortunate that Collazo got hurt, but Diaz is a very good fighter and I know he’s going to bring it. I’ve been sparring with nothing but lefties, and since both Diaz and Collazo are southpaws, it’s business as usual. Diaz is coming off a close majority decision losshis first defeat, so I know he’s hungry to get back in that win column. This is a dangerous fight and I’m not taking it lightly. Like always, I’m willing and ready to fight anyone they put in front of me.
On his recent training camp at the Triple Threat Boxing Gym in Colorado Springs
It’s been a grueling camp with a lot of hard work being put out. Sparring has been fantastic and I’m feeling really sharp right now. My weight is good and I’m feeling strong. We have a few more days left and then it’s on to fight week.
On fighting on FOX with a global audience expected to be tuning in
This is what it’s all about, fighting on the big stage with millions of fans looking to see a great fight. FOX is an incredible network to be showcased on and I want to let the world know I’m here to take over the welterweight division. The fans can expect to see a lot of power punches. Hopefully I can score the knockout.
On his relationship with his team members
I have an unbelievable team behind me. First off my dad Sammy Sr. is there watching my every move, so I’m very comfortable with him by my side. Charles Leverette is the head coach, with Ryan Rimsek working the mitts. Jason Barber is my strength and conditioning coach. Everyone is doing a great job. We have a great game plan that we feel we can execute against Diaz. I’m very happy with my team.
On when he thinks he’ll be ready to challenge for a world title
I feel I’m ready now. I’m ranked in the top ten in three of the major sanctioning organizations, so I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I know a victory against Diaz will get me closer to a title shot. I have to keep winning to fulfil the goal I set for myself when I first started boxing, and that’s to become a world champion.
On the current landscape of the welterweight division….
The division is loaded with great fighters. With the exception of Jesse Vargas, all the champions are undefeated. The road to get to the top is very tough because everyone in the top ten is an exceptional fighter. I think it’s the toughest division in boxing.
FELIX DIAZ
On fighting Sammy Vasquez on short notice
I stay ready in the gym. I had a fight scheduled with Miguel Vasquez that fell through so now it’s on to another Vasquez. I had to switch to southpaw sparring but that is nothing new to me. I fought a lot of southpaws on short notice in the amateurs. I’m grateful for this opportunity and I’m going to make the best of it.
On his current training camp
I’m having a great camp. Everything is coming together for me. My punches are accurate and my timing is better than ever. I’m looking very good in sparring and I know I’ll be at my best on fight night.
On the opportunity to get into world title contention
“Dit is 'n groot stryd vir my. Sammy Vasquez is a highly rated fighter. A win against him will put me right up there with all the other contenders. I live for these occasions.
On what he thinks of Sammy Vasquez as a fighter
He’s a very smart fighter with good power. Although he does a lot of things right in the ring, I see some flaws in his style that I know I can expose. I believe my style will give him a lot of trouble. I know he wants to keep his undefeated record intact, but my hunger to start another winning streak is greater.
On bouncing back from his first defeat in his last bout
In my last bout I suffered my first loss against Lamont Peterson, a majority decision. It was a very close fight and I really felt I came out on top. When you’re undefeated and loss for the first time, you want nothing more than to get back in the ring and prove to everyone that you belong with the elite fighters in the division. I’ve been training in the gym like an animal, waiting for an opportunity like this to come my way. Now that it’s here, I’m going to take full advantage of the situation.

The fighters were together at the Conga Room at L.A. Live after Wilder had hosted a press conference in Birmingham the week before, that Arreola joined via skype.
Hier is wat die vegters moes Dinsdag sê:
DEONTAY WILDER
This is going to be an exciting fight for everyone. It’s two dangerous heavyweights. Two guys who fight with their hearts. It’s going to be an action-packed fight from beginning to end.
People said Arreola doesn’t deserve the shot, but who are they to say things about a man who every time he gets in the ring, fights with his heart.
I feel like this is a special occasion. It’s a short notice fight. A lot of guys said they would take it, but used the short notice as an excuse. It takes a lot to put together a fight. But when you can get someone who can make the best of this and put on a great show, it’s a job well done.
There’s only one name who can make this be what it is. Every time he steps in the ring, he comes to fight. I think we chose the right person.
This is going to be a great fight for boxing fans. I chose to go back home because of all the travel I did preparing for the Povetkin fight. I’m excited to be in my backyard and have the great support behind me. I won’t crack under the pressure.
The fans will get their money’s worth. It’s two tough and determined fighters who are trying to knock each other’s head off.
This was my longest layoff. I’ve wanted to be an active champion since I won the belt. When one door closes, another one opens.
It’s up to Chris to take advantage of this opportunity. He has his own history that he can make and it will mean a lot to him.
My mentality is to go all out. Everything I say, I really believe. I don’t need anyone to believe in me, because I believe in myself.
I have a guy in front of me who’s trying to stop me from getting to the next level. I promise this is going to be an outstanding fight.
CHRIS ARREOLA
“Ek is dankbaar vir die geleentheid. A lot of people say that I don’t deserve this title fight. A lot of people said Deontay didn’t deserve his title shot. I said that. But when he got it, he made the most out of it. He beat the guy who beat me.
He’s defended his title and done everything you’re supposed to do as a champion. I respect him a lot. I have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
I’m going to his backyard. I’m fine with people not recognizing me out there. He’s going to be dealing with ticket requests and I’m just going to be focused on beating Deontay Wilder.
I’m not fighting the fans, at the end of the day it’s me and Deontay Wilder in that ring. That’s what I know about this sport, there’s a lot of talk, but at the end of the day, it’s mano a mano.
I’m blessed to have this opportunity and I’m going to make the most of it.

(Former world champ Andre Berto with Denver Broncos Running Back Ronnie Hillman

See below for Super Bowl 50 predictions from PBC fighters:
Andre Berto: I’ve got the Panthers by a dime. Man, that Broncosdefense is ferocious! I’ve never seen any team get after a guy like they got after Tom Brady. So how is my boy Cam Newton gonna handle them? Have you seen Cam run? He’s gonna run right over them.
Against the Patriots, that defense was allowed to be ferocious, but Cam won’t allow that. As for [Broncos running back] Ronnie Hillman, he’s my dude; he’s just gotta work on them hands a little bit.
Dominic Breazeale: I’ve got the Panthers winning, 35-21. Cam Newton is just having way too much fun, and at this point, I would have to say the guy is unstoppable.
Omar Douglas: I’m going with Panthers. Cam Newton has played great all season and almost went undefeated. He is not your average quarterback. He can throw the long ball or run it in for a touchdown. And on top of it all, he’s having fun. It’s hard to beat a guy like that!
Omar Figueroa Jr.: I don’t want to give a prediction. I love the Broncos like I love the San Antonio Spurs. But the Panthers are the Golden State Warriors of football right now. I see the Broncos having a really hard time keeping up.
Miguel Flores: Carolina has been smashing everyone, and Denver has been somewhat inconsistent. But after the Broncosmost recent games and their showing on defense, I will have to stick with the famous cliché: “Offense wins games, defense wins championships.
The Panthers have shown that they can be great offensively, but their defense hasn’t always been on point. So I’m going with the Broncos in a tight one.
Danny Garcia: I’m going with the Panthers. They’re rolling right now. They’ve got youth and energy, and they’ve got a lot of momentum going into the game. If they just stay focused and don’t party and get caught up [in the hype], they’ll win it.
Terrell Gausha: Panthers, because my bro that I went to high school with plays for Carolina: wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. Meer, I think they are just that good.
Tony Harrison: Carolina Panthers all the way. As a former high school quarterback, I love what Cam is doing for the game. He’s amazing. Ook, many people don’t know but my younger cousin, Devin Funchess (pictured above with Harrison while at the University of Michigan), plays wide receiver for the Panthers. So I’m always going with family in any situation.
Julius Jackson: I’ve got the Broncos. They have a better system as far as demonstrating an ability to play as a cohesive unit. That’s what will give them the edge.
Jamal James: I’m gonna have to go with the Panthers, because Cam Newton has been handling business. Meer, that team has kinda been an underdog. But every time people count them out, they come out and refuse to lose, which is something I respect and relate to.
Amir Khan: I would have to say that the Broncos have the veteran leadership in Peyton Manning and they’ve been there before, so they have the better overall experience. Maar in die einde, the youth and explosiveness of Cam Newton will win the day in what will be a hard-fought Panthers’ oorwinning.
Paulie Malignaggi: I’m going with the underdog Broncos. Maybe it’s just going with my heart, but I’m a Manning fan, mainly because his brother is the QB for my New York Giants, so I’m keeping it in the family.
Abner Mares: I’m taking the Panthers. Cam Newton has a style on and off the field that just dominates. It’s the Panthersyear, Cam is a tremendous leader and QB, and it’s time for a new dynasty to be born.
Shawn Porter: I think this is gonna be a great Super Bowl! It’s a very evenly matched game. Both teams are solid on both sides of the ball and have great quarterbacks. Peyton Manning is trying to solidify his status as an all-time great QB, and Cam Newton is trying to establish himself as a future great. I’m having a really hard time picking a winner, but personally I would love to see Cam Newton and the Panthers win.
Michael Seals: I’ve got to go with the Panthers. I’m gonna take Billy the Kid-Cam Newton-over the Old Deputy Sheriff, Peyton Manning.
Errol Spence Jr.: The Panthers will win because the Broncosdefense will not be able to contain or stop Cam Newton. And the Pantherspass defense is too good for a shell-of-himself Peyton Manning. I went to school with [Broncos defensive end] Von Miller, but I want Cam to win.
Antonio Tarver: It’s a destiny type of year for Cam Newton and the Panthers. I don’t think anyone is gonna stop them. While my heart is with Denver and the wise old veteran Peyton Manning-us old guys gotta stick together-I have to put my money on Cam and the Panthers.
All I pray for is to go out like Peyton Manning: attempting to win it all before I retire. But I have to say the Panthers will win.
Austin Trout: I’ve got the Panthers winning. They’re just playing with great team chemistry and great leadership in Cam Newton. But I’m still J-E-T-S till I D-I-E.
Sammy Vasquez Jr.: It’s simple: Panthers all day. They’ve been on fire. Cam Newton deserves it now after putting in the years with the team and all the hard work. They work together as a team, and that’s a great part of being successful.
Deontay Wilder: I like the Panthers because Cam Newton is just on a different level, a force to be reckoned with.
Thomas Williams Jr.: I’m taking the Broncos simply because of the experience factor. Cam Newton’s year has been phenomenal; he is an MVP for sure. But I think Peyton Manning’s postseason and all-around experience will outweigh Cam’s magic.
This will be just another walk in the park for Manning, who has been in the tougher, more grueling games over the course of his career.
Final tally: Panthers 17, Broncos 4.

PITTSBURGH, PA. (Februarie. 21, 2015) - Sammy Vasquez sit op 'n show vir sy tuisdorp ondersteuners in Pittsburgh, wen 'n naby-shutout 10-ronde eenparige besluit (99-91 twee keer, 100-90) oor Emmanuel Lartey in die belangrikste gebeurtenis van ShoBox: Die nuwe generasie Vrydag, Februarie. 20 van CONSUL Energie Center.

 

Vasquez (18-0, 13 Uitklophoue) ingeskryf het vir die bout op soek na sy 10ste agtereenvolgende uitklophou teen 'n teenstander wat nie platgeslaan voor en was in die ring met twee Amerikaanse. Olympians. The military veteran wasn’t able to finish Lartey (17-3, 8 Uitklophoue, 1 NC), maar dit was omtrent die enigste ding wat nie sy pad gaan in 'n deeglik indrukwekkende vertoning waarin hy geland het 50 persent van sy krag skote.

 

Vasquez begin stadig en was in staat om sy skote in die vroeë rondes te kies, but he accelerated the tempo in the second half of the fight as Lartey appeared to slow down. The hometown favorite did his best work with Lartey against the ropes and landed at will in the middle rounds. Lartey seemed like he was ready to quit on his stool after the eighth, maar hy het voortgegaan en Vasquez vertraag sy produksie in die laaste twee rondes en cruised na die oorwinning.

 

"Ek het gedink hy gaan af 'n paar keer, maar hy het daar gehang in,” Vasquez said. “The jab was going well, but I made a couple of mistakes because I started feeling comfortable. I knew he was hurt after the eighth and my corner told me to step off the gas a little bit and pick my punches more instead of just storming him.

 

“I thought he was going to quit a couple times on his stool. He’s a tough guy – no one could knock him out. Ek kon ook nie. "

 

Lartey gedaal sy derde stryd om 'n top vooruitsig ná besluit verliese te Errol Spence Jr.en Felix Diaz.

 

"Sammy is 'n taai vegter,” Lartey said. “He’s really strong. Ek het my bes gedoen, maar hy was net te goed. "

 

Na afloop van die stryd, ShoBox omroeper Steve Farhood gebreek Vasquez se indrukwekkende spel plan.

 

"Dit was 'n baie beheer en intelligente prestasie deur Vasquez, versnel as die rondes gevorder, elke ronde oorheers en beheer van die optrede of boks, aanval of pinning Lartey teen die toue,"Farhood gesê. “He showed a lot and he deserves the reputation he has as being one of the top young American welterweights.”

 

Craig Baker uitgeslaan Humberto Savigne in 'n pragtige ontsteld, afwerking van die ingelui voormalige Kubaanse amateur met 'n hoogtepunt-reel TKO by 1:58 van die tweede ronde.

 

Savigne (12-2, 9 Uitklophoue, 1 NC), wat 'n groot grootte voordeel gehad en was die swaar gunsteling vegter, landed a series of right hands in the first and looked like he could make it a quick night against the undefeated-yet-untested Baker. But the Texan fought like an opponent who had nothing to lose against Savigne, 'n ervare veteraan met meer as 400 amateur aanvalle op sy kerfstok.

 

Baker (16-0, 12 Uitklophoue) geland het 'n paar ordentlike skote in die eerste en kom uit die brandende in die tweede, throwing a high volume of punches with Savigne against the ropes. Fighting in a small ring, Savigne had nowhere to go and continually ate shots on a suspect chin before falling face forward to the canvas. Savigne got up, maar hy het in die toue en was duidelik uit op sy voete, dwing die skeidsregter die wedstryd te stop by 1:58.

 

"Ek is seer en hom in die eerste ronde en ek kon vertel dat sy ken was swak, Ek kon vertel dat ek hom kon voltooi,” Baker said. “In the second, Ek het net geruik bloed en ek het geweet ek het om te gaan werk, Ek moes hom klaar.

 

"Niemand het my 'n kans om te gaan in, but I was the undefeated fighter and he wasn’t. I worked too hard to come here and lose. I just have to keep working. You haven’t seen the last of me – this is a life changing moment.”

 

Die 36-jarige Savigne was duidelik geskok na die stryd.

 

"Hy was die beter man vanaand,” Savigne said. “I wasn’t expecting him to be as tough as he was. I made a huge mistake in taking him lightly. This is something that I’ll learn from. Now I’ll go back to the drawing board. I’ll go back to the gym – I’ll keep working hard and I’ll be back.

 

"In die eerste ronde, Baker het my aan die kant van die oor en ek ewewig verloor. Ek was heeltemal duiselig. He hurt me with that shot. Hy was die beter man vanaand. "

 

Claudio Marrero het 'n oorheersende eenparige besluit oorwinning oor Orlando Rizo in die opening van die beeldsending bout. Marrero (18-1, 13 Uitklophoue) beheer oor die bout uit die staanspoor, klop Rizo (18-6, 11 Uitklophoue) down vier keer op pad na 'n oortuigende oorwinning behaal 78-71, 78-70, 80-68.

 

Marrero was die meer aggressiewe en doeltreffende vegter, landing 43 persent van krag stoot en 39 persent van sy totale stoot.

 

"Ek het probeer om op te rig die groot skote so ek kon uiteindelik die nag,” Marrero said. “It got away from me at times, maar dit was 'n goeie voorbereiding vir die neem van daardie stap vir 'n kans op 'n wêreld-titel.

 

“I’m not disappointed I didn’t knock him out. I underestimated his tenacity to get back up and stay in the fight and I need to work on my discipline so that doesn’t happen again. I feel that I’m ready for a shot at a title whenever I get an opportunity.”

Hier is wat die vegters te sê gehad het voordat Donderdag se inweeg:

 

SAMMY Vasquez

“This fight is definitely going to be exciting. I can’t talk trash about Emmanuel – he’s a tough guy who has faced two U.S. Olympians and never been dropped. So there’s not much I can say about him.

 

“I’m looking to open up some flaws. I’ve seen a couple of things I can do to maybe make him hit that canvas.

 

“I hope everybody tunes in. We’ve trained hard and this is just the beginning. It’s the start of 2015 and by the end of the year I hope to be a top contender or get a title shot. But I have to get past Emmanuel first and that won’t be easy.”

 

Emmanuel Lartey:

"Hy het nie die lig van die tipe ouens wat ek in die gesig gestaar; he hasn’t faced the opposition that I have. He’s going to be surprised when he steps in the ring with me.

 

"Moenie, I’m not worried about fighting in his hometown. I can win with a decision, maar ek gaan om te kyk vir die uitklophou 'n indruk te maak en 'n verklaring.

 

“He’s definitely underestimating me. Sammy has built up his record with cupcakes.

 

“This is going to be a good test for him and a good test for me. I’m going to be the one walking out with a W.”

 

Humberto SAVIGNE:

"Ek sien geen teenstander neem nie ligtelik. Ek weet Baker gaan probeer om my te breek, maar ek het baie hard geoefen en, in alle eerlik, Ek is beter as hy is. Moenie my verkeerd verstaan ​​nie neem, Ek sien hom nie oor nie. I’m just determined to win, en Ek sal, óf deur 'n besluit of uitklophou.

 

"Ek weet ek veg 'n moeilike man, but I’ve trained hard and this is my year. I’m lucky to be surrounded by such of great team.

 

"Ek voel dat 2015 is my jaar. Ek is op die derde plek in die WBC, en dit is net omdat ek het ses maande van onaktiwiteit, anders Ek wil sekonde. Na Baker, Ek wil [Adonis] Stevenson.

 

"Ek stel voor aanhangers gereed te kry, sit back and enjoy because I’m going to give them a real show. I’m going to make Baker see fireworks.”

 

CRAIG BAKER:

“This is the fight I’ve been waiting for. I’m finally getting an opportunity to make a statement and surprise some people. I know I’m the underdog, but that doesn’t bother me. I’m undefeated for a reason. He’s the one with a loss on his record.

 

“A win would do wonders for my career. It would open up the door to some great opportunities.

 

“It will be an interesting fight. I’ll play it by ear, maar ek is gereed om die aggressor te wees en ek is gereed om te gaan 10 rondtes. "

 

CLAUDIO MARRERO:

“I’m not intimidated by Rizo’s amateur accomplishments. If he says he trained hard, goed, Ek opgelei ooit harder as hy. Ek dink hy is die een wat nie weet wat hy in vir. Glo my - dit is nie van plan om 'n dag in die park wees. Dit gaan 'n oorlog te wees.

 

"Ek wens Orlando Rizo goeie geluk. Hy gaan dit nodig het om nie te kry platgeslaan.

 

"Ek is nie 'n asblik prater. Dit is eenvoudig nie my styl. Ek doen al die praatwerk ek nodig het om te doen met my vuiste in die ring. "

 

ORLANDO CURL:

"Ek weet dit is nie van plan om 'n maklike stryd wees. Ek weet Claudio Marrero is taai, but I’m ready for him. I’ve been training very hard for him. Hy beter gereed wees, want ek weet ek is.

 

"Ek dink nie hy het al ooit iemand geveg soos ek. My amateur geloofsbriewe is onberispelik. Ek is 'n vier-time militêre bokskampioen, drie keer Sentraal-Amerikaanse kampioen en voormalige Nicaraguaanse en FECARBOX Kampioen. Ek het ook 'n bronsmedalje in die 2007 Pan-Amerikaanse Spele in Brasilië. So het hy beter gereed vir 'n taai stryd wees, want ek is nie van plan om dit vir hom maklik om te maak.

 

"Claudio Marrero beter het sy A-wedstryd op, want ek kom om Hom af te neem. "

In sy bout voor verlede, sy ShoBox debuut, Lartey gekom het aan die verkeerde kant van 'n harde geveg split agt-ronde besluit 2008 U.S. Olimpiese goue medaljeFelix Diaz.

 

Drie gevegte gelede die spel, duursame Lartey het onoorwonne opkomende ster en 2012 U.S. Olimpiese Errol Spence sy moeilikste pro stryd, om hom die agt-ronde afstand vir die eerste keer. Hoewel duidelik agter en skynbaar geslaan, Lartey landed a body shot near the end of the seventh before rocking Spence with a big right hook late at the bell. Lartey came forward for most of the eighth round, dwing Spence sy grond te staan ​​in die laaste minuut van die stryd.

 

I had a few setbacks and I’m very grateful for this opportunity. This is my time to shine and show the world how good I am.

Baker represents the fourth undefeated fighter that Savigne has faced as a pro.

 

"Die enigste ding wat ek weet, is dat Baker is om af te gaan om te gaan voor die vyfde ronde,” Savigne said. “I’m going in there to knock him out and make it a quick night. I don’t know what he is thinking about me, but I know I’m not underestimating him. I’m going to do my job like I always do. It doesn’t matter what he does. I’ll be ready.

 

"Ek gaan om te bewys dat ek die nuwe Don van die lig swaargewig-afdeling,"Sê Savigne, wat is die bynaam "El Don."

 

'N natuurlike hotklou, Het Savigne 398-23 in die amateurs. Hy het die nasionale kampioenskap vier keer, and was on the national team for seven years. Savigne defected from Cuba to the United States in April 2009. The 6-foot-1 Savigne, wat uitsluitlik geveg in die VS. sedert draai pro, het vinnig gestyg tot Geen. 3 in die WBC 175-pond ranglys ná net 14 professionele Bouts.

 

"Ek voel ek is gereed vir 'n wêreld titel stryd sedert verlede jaar,” Savigne said. “I’m looking forward to getting a win on Februarie 20 and facing the big names in the light heavyweight division. I’ve been training hard and I’ve been patient and humble. When the time comes, I’m going to be in prime shape and ready to fulfill my dream of becoming a world champion. Whether it’s early this year, laat hierdie jaar of volgende jaar, Ek is gereed.

 

"Ek wil die kampioene om te veg by 175 pond, but I need to take care of Baker first. I want Adonis Stevenson. I feel that I’m better than him. He’s never fought a guy like me and I don’t see enough skill set in him to be able to defeat me.”

 

Baker, wat blyk 31 op Februarie. 10, sal wees om sy ShoBox debuut. 'N sewe-jaar-pro, Baker is 'n druk vegter wat daarvan hou om te dra af teenstanders intelligent. Hy kom uit 'n derde ronde knockout oor Sergio Cordoba laasteNovember. 15 in Argentinië. Hy het sy laaste drie gevegte gewen binne drie rondes, maar nie teen vegters van die vlak van Savigne.

 

"Ek is altyd die underdog, so dit is niks nuuts nie,” Baker said. “I’ve been in this position before. You just have to do what you’re supposed to do you’ll get the win. “We’ve been waiting for this opportunity to prove who we are.

 

"Toe ek wen sal dit alles beteken, it will be a dream come true. It’s going to open some doors for me. Ek sal wees 16-0 en net daar 'n paar van die top-vegters te bied op 175 pond. "

 

Baker het na boks in 2005 as 'n manier om gewig te verloor. Teen die tyd, Hy geweeg 293 pond. Hy sou sy amateur debuut verloor, maar het daarna op die Texas State Golden Gloves en die Texas State VSA Kampioenskappe in beide te wen 2007 en 2008. Baker is ook naaswenner in die Nasionale PAL-toernooi in 2007, 'n kwarteindronde in beide die Nasionale VSA Kampioenskappe toernooi en die Nasionale Golden Gloves, wat hom 'n VSA boks nasionale ranglys van No verdien. 3.

 

"Ek het ouens soos hy in die gesig gestaar voor,” Baker said. “At the end of the day, all that matters is what you bring to the ring. On the national level in the amateurs you can face guys with a few hundred fights on the first day of a tournament. So his amateur pedigree doesn’t scare me.

 

“I’m just expecting a W anyway it comes. That’s what I want and that’s what I’m getting. He’s just like any other fighter. You have to wait and see what they have. We’ll find out on fight night.”
