PHILADELPHIA (Oktober 19, 2016) – In die laaste jaar, undefeated 154-pound contender “Swift” Jarrett Hurd has rocketed to the top of the stacked super welterweight division, putting himself squarely in the hunt for a world title.

Hurd enters this fight coming off of two impressive victories over previously unbeaten fighters. In November 2015 he dominated Frank Galarza and stalked him around the ring before ending his night in the sixth round. Hurd followed that up in June of this year, when he stopped Carlos Molina in the final round on CBS as the co-main event of the Keith Thurman vs. Shawn Porter showdown. Hurd’s blinding right uppercut in the first round sent Molina to the canvas and the hoogtepunt earned him a spot on SportsCenter’s Top 10 Plays.
Get to know more about the rising star as he talks about his introduction to the sport and some of his personal favorites:
(On his team): I have the best team in the world. Ernesto Rodriguez is my head trainer and we do our work in Temple Hills, Maryland. Ernesto is great because he trains me for the style that fits my skills best.
There is no ego in my team. We’re all working toward the same goal and everyone plays their role perfectly. With each fight we’re getting closer to reaching the ultimate goalbecoming a world champion.
(On his start in boxing): My father first put me in the ring to learn how to defend myself. I was 15-years-old and didn’t really know how to fight. I took to it quickly though and it was obviously one of the best things that ever happened to me.
(On his nickname): I got my nickname from the gym. I looked calm and collective in the gym and people noticed. They said I looked swift in there. Now it’s “Swift” en “Swift” on the same card and it’s going to be electric.
(On his boxing idols): I tried to emulate a lot of defensive fighters. Roy Jones jr. and Floyd Mayweather are my favorite fighters of all time. I liked James Toney because of his shoulder roll and the Philly shell style.
(Favorite sport/team): I watch football. I only the watch the Washington Redkins though. I’ve always been a huge fan.
(Favorite television show): Power on Starz
(Favorite movie): Deadpool
(Favorite junk food): Pizza
(Favorite health food): Kale
(Celebrity crush): Keri Hilson and Nia Long
(Perfect Vacation): Definitely a cruise to Puerto Rico. I’ve never been there but I want to experience it.
(On his homemade “Alle toegang” videos): I just love to be out there and giving fans a chance to feel connected to me. My childhood friend, Christopher Walton, picked up a camera and just started recording me in the ring and outside of the ring one day. He started getting some better equipment so we decided to do these videos to help promote me. The fans are important to me and I want them to feel like they’re a part of my journey.

Hier is wat die deelnemers het om te sê Donderdag:
DANNY GARCIA
Being able to partner with Philabundance is a tremendous thing. Aan die einde van die dag, that’s what it’s all about. When you’re fortunate, your job is to give back and change someone else’s life. I’m looking forward to a great night and a great turnout.
Everyone has gone through hard times. Everyone has gone through times where they need extra help. We’re going to make a big difference that night and it’ll be for a lot of people that really need it.
I want to thank the City of Philadelphia. I’m just excited to fight at home. This card is going to allow a lot of great local fighters to be on a big stage.
I can’t look past Samuel Vargas and I know his trainer has a couple tricks up his sleeve. I know they’re going to come to fight, but I will never underestimate anyone. I’ve learned my lessons to become the champion I am today.
I know Vargas knows how to win. He’s won a lot in his career. I’m going to go out there and just fight. If it goes the distance, then it does. I can’t underestimate him. I’m going to put on a great show and dominate.
People are acting like Keith Thurman has a cape like Superman and can fly. I want the other champions to think I’m vulnerable. Those are my easiest fights. I have to get past this fight to get to the next one.
I feel like I owe this to my fans to fight in Philadelphia. The last time I fought at this venue was on a Bernard Hopkins undercard and I got a big knockout. I plan on doing the same November 12.
I have a good team around me. There should be no distractions leading up to this fight. All the people who deserve to get tickets will be there and there won’t be anything distracting me. Ek is 100 percent focused on this matchup.
I’m at the point in my career where I’m working smarter and harder. Soos November 12 we want to give the city of Philadelphia a night to remember. I can’t overlook this fight, but I guarantee that I’m going to unify titles at 147 pounds soon.
SAMUEL VARGAS
I’m very blessed to be here today. This fight could change my whole life. The lives of my family. Danny is a great fighter and I have to give it my all.
I have to take advantage of this. I have the best trainer in the world with me and we’re going to take care of business November 12.
Me and my trainer work on a lot of different styles. We like to switch it up and keep the opponents guessing. Sometimes we pressure and sometimes we stay outside. I’m learning every day and making adjustments.
I’m an underdog and I have been my whole life. There are very few options for a Latin immigrant all the way up in Canada. I beat the odds to make it up there and have a life and a family.
I’m a guy with just over 10 amateur fights and I’ve made it this far. Danny Garcia is my chance. I have to make the best of it and give it my all. This is everything for me.
JARRETT HURD
I’ve been to Philadelphia a couple times and the city has welcomed me. I just want to put on another show. This will get me one step closer to my dream of fighting for a title.
We’ve looked at some of my opponent’s fights and he’s a veteran. He’s got a lot of power and a good knockout rate to go with it. He’s awkward and tall. If you don’t come in on top of your game, he can make you look bad. We’re looking to do what we always do.
I learned a lot from my last fight. It opened a lot of doors for me, like fighting on the Danny Garcia undercard. I feel like I’m what the division is missing. I’m a tall, lanky fighter with a lot of power and good hand speed.
My time is here. I feel like this is my opportunity to get closer to fighting for a world title. I can’t wait to become a world champion.
I want to face all of the 154-pounders. We’re not ducking anyone. There are so many talented fighters in the division, but I believe that me and my team train so hard and prepare so well that we’re ready to face any of them. The time will come and we’re just waiting.
This is a tremendous opportunity to be on the Danny Garcia undercard because we’re all trying to get to where he’s at. Make sure you’re watching my fights because I promise I’m going to do something memorable.
OMAR DOUGLAS
I just wanted to say this is the opportunity of a lifetime to fight in Philadelphia where my career started. I won Pennsylvania Golden Gloves several times.
To be in with a former world champion is a terrific thing. I’m going to take full advantage of this opportunity. I’ve been waiting for this a long time and this is my time.
Fortuna is a very confident fighter. He likes to give it all the first few rounds. I’m going to come in and use my jab and invest in the body. I think we can have an early night.
I believe I have the best jab in the business. I have to keep him off me with the jab and head movement. I’ve been fighting for a long time and there’s nothing I haven’t seen.
I think I’ve improved a lot. Fighting guys with one loss and world ranked guys over my last couple fights has helped me. My confidence is definitely rising every day.
You can look forward to a crowd pleasing performance and knockout.
ANGEL GARCIA, Danny se pa & Trainer
Danny has been the underdog before. Lucas Matthysse or Amir Khan, you name it. We don’t underestimate Vargas. We don’t take him lightly. We are going to come ready to rumble.
Vargas is the underdog today, but Danny has been the underdog his entire life.November 12 my son will still be undefeated.
I came to Philadelphia at six years old. I had no food. Only you know you’re pain. I ate a lot of food from a can growing up, so if you guys donate anything or buy a ticket that donates money, you’ll be doing something great. We pray every day for the hungry kids, not just in America but the whole world.
BILLY BRISCOE, Vargas’ Trainer
This is a great opportunity for me and Samuel. In my opinion he’s an underrated fighter. He’s been under the radar for a while. We’ve been working together in Canada and starting a farm system.
We’re fighting in my opinion the best welterweight in the world. This is no easy task and we’re not fooling ourselves. We won’t leave any stone unturned.
We’ll find a way and we’ll make a way. That’s what we’re going to do and I look forward to this.
MARSHALL KAUFFMAN, Promotions King's
It’s very exciting to be promoting this young man, Danny Garcia. I remember him as a young kid and it’s exciting to see where he’s come in the world of boxing. I’ve known a lot of these guys for a long time and I’m excited to see how they perform.
This card is going to be stacked with local talent and I hope that everyone comes out and supports these fighters and this great cause.
I’ve always wanted to bring Danny Garcia to Philadelphia and the commission is thrilled to bring him back to this great city and we’re going to make it worthwhile.

Washington D.C. (Maart 26, 2015) – A little more than two weeks in advance of his highly anticipated bout at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, Lamont Peterson (33-2-1, 17 Uitklophoue) aangebied media by die Bald Eagle Ontspanning Center in Washington, D.C. Lamont, sy broer Anthony en Lamont se afrigter, Barry Hunter, took some time out of their training schedule to discuss Lamont’s Premier Boxing Champions konfrontasie teen Danny “Swift” Garcia (29-0, 17 Uitklophoue) op April 11.

 

Hieronder noemenswaardige aanhalings uit die gebeurtenis, wat bygewoon is deur druk, uitgesaai en aanlyn media van regoor die streek:

 

Lamont Peterson, Super Liggewig Wêreld Kampioen

 

“Die plan sou wees om net te gaan daar buite en veg hom. Ongeag van hoe ek kies om te veg, Ek voel asof ek kan wen. Ek het vinniger voete, maar ek kan gebruik om hulle ander dinge ook te doen. Ek kan vorentoe gaan. Ek hoef nie altyd agteruitgaan. Ek sal vashou aan die wedstrydplan, maar ons weet nie wat die game plan is nou.

 

“My mentaliteit toon altyd in die ring, veral in die laat rondes. Jy vra 'n baie van jou liggaam in die ring en 'n baie keer gaan dit oor wat hy weet. So jou persoonlikheid kom beslis uit, en ek dink dit is waar ek skyn meer as ander vegters. Die latere rondes is wanneer ek gewoonlik oor die stryd te neem. Daar is baie van die tyd wat ek wens ons meer rondtes kon gaan.

 

“Die ondersteuners wou hierdie stryd om te sien so ek wou seker maak dat dit gebeur het. Ek het nooit regtig roep name of praat oor wat ek wil volgende. Ek laat dit aan die ondersteuners en die media, want daar is baie van die gevegte wat die ondersteuners wil sien wat nooit gebeur nie. Aan die einde van die dag, Ek veg vir die ondersteuners en die media so hoekom nie veg wat hulle wil hê ek moet veg?

 

“Ek is net op soek na die dinge wat ek doen te neem deeglik en voer, en dan het ek is op soek na die dinge Garcia doen goed weg te neem en hom dwing om die dinge wat hy nie goed doen meer dikwels te doen. Ek kyk nie op enige een vorige stryd van sy en dink ons ​​gaan op die manier om te gaan.

 

“Ek is 'n beter vegter. Hy is beslis 'n toonbank-slaner en ons is op soek om seker te maak dat ons nie teengewerk raak die manier waarop sommige ander is.

 

“Daar is wel en wee in die kamp. Soms is dit tyd om terug te trek en ontspan, maar soms is dit tyd om hard te werk. Algehele Ek voel goed. Baie mense sê dit, maar dit is my beste oefenkamp ooit en ek is gelukkig waar ek by die nou. Ek is gereed om te veg.

 

“Dit is die grootste stryd vir my. Hierna was daar niks meer oor om te doen in die gewig klas. Ek wil graag om te beweeg na hierdie volgende stryd.”

 

Barry Hunter, Peterson se afrigter

 

“Lamont is 'n baie veelsydige vegter. Hy was in die ring honderde kere. Hy kan boks. Hy kan beide binne en buite veg. Hy kan strategize, maar hy kan ook baie aggressief.

 

“Danny is 'n soliede vegter. Hy het nie een of twee dinge groot doen, maar hy het 'n baie van die dinge wat goed. Daar is 'n paar dinge al wat ons gesien het in hom wat ons dink ons ​​kan ontgin en ons gaan om daar te gaan met die bedoeling om dit te doen. Algehele Ek dink Lamont is 'n beter vegter.

 

“Daar is slegs 'n paar groot name links by 140, almal het verhuis tot 147. So Lamont se manier van dink, was dat die enigste manier om hierdie stryd gemaak sin 140 is as hy die gesig kan staar Danny Garcia. Dit was meer oor die gee van die ondersteuners wat hulle wil hê om te sien. Dit gaan gee aanhangers 'n groot gratis stryd weer op nasionale TV.

 

“NBC is 'n ware sport netwerk. Hulle het NBA, WNBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, MLS en die enigste sport wat ontbreek is boks. Boks gebruik word om op elke netwerk en hulle het die legendariese gevegte met die legendariese vegters. Dit was nie altyd oor 'n band of. Toe het dinge verander, maar dit gee ons 'n kans om die boks terug te bring na die ware ondersteuners.”

 

Anthony Peterson

“Ek is nie bang vir die lees van hierdie stryd. Ek gaan net om terug te sit en kyk hoe. Lamont se so gereed.

 

“Danny is 'n buitengewone vegter. Dit is in sy DNA, maar Lamont is so gefokus Ek is vol vertroue dat hy gaan om te wen.

 

“Lamont het geleer om te veg vir my beskerming op die strate.”
