Sugar Ray Leonard, Errol Spence Jr., Keith Thurman, Manny Pacquiao & Mer Diskutera lördag, September 8 Matchup Live på SHOWTIME från Barclays Center i Brooklyn & Presenteras av Premier Boxing Champions

BROOKLYN (September 5, 2018) – Tidigaste välterviktsstjärnor, nutid och framtid har vägt in med sina tankar om den efterlängtade matchupen som skapar tidigare välviktmästare Danny Garcia och Shawn Porter mot varandra för den lediga WBC Welterweight World Title Saturday, September 8 i huvudevenemanget live på SHOWTIME från Barclays Center, hemmet till BROOKLYN BOXING ™.

 

 

 

Showtime Championship Boxing telecast börjar vid 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT och har en välviktstitel eliminator mellan Kubas Yordenis Ugás och Argentinas Cesar Barrionuevo och tungviktiga åtgärder som släpper obeslagen polsk slugger Adam Kownacki mot tidigare tungviktmästare Charles Martin.

 

 

 

Biljetter för live-event, som marknadsförs av TGB Promotions och DiBella Entertainment, i samarbete med DSG-kampanjer, börja på $50 och finns det erbjudanden nu.

Grupprabatter finns genom att ringa 844-BKLYN-GP.

 

 

 

Här är vad en grupp nuvarande och tidigare välterviktkämpar hade att säga om Garcia vs. Porter världstitel showdown:

 

Sugar Ray Leonard, Hall of Famer & Tidigare Unified Welterweight World Champion

 

 

 

“Jag känner att Danny Garcia vs. Shawn Porter-kampen har en spännande kamp från vad jag har sett för båda dessa begåvade kämparna. Så här är min förutsägelse baserad på vad jag känner båda kämparna sätter in i ringen

 

 

 

Garcia vinner om han använder sin jab för att hålla Porter i avstånd och utanför balans, men Porter får en seger om han kopplar ihop och skadar Garcia tidigt och får honom att överge sin boxningsförmåga och slåss som en slugger — som jag gjorde med min första kamp mot Roberto Duran.

 

 

 

Så här ser jag denna matchup som borde vara en spännande kamp!”

 

ERROL SPENCE JR., Oslagna världsmästare i Welterweight

 

 

 

“Jag vill definitivt slåss mot vinnaren av Danny Garcia vs. Shawn Porter. Det är en nära kamp. Jag har alltid valt mot Danny Garcia tidigare, och han bevisade mig alltid fel. Shawn Porter är alltid en tuff kamp, eftersom han kommer att komma fram och ge allt. Han försöker i princip rånga dig. Men för denna kamp, det är svårt att gå mot Danny Garcia. Jag väljer Danny Garcia för att vinna ett splittrat beslut.”

 

KEITH THURMAN, WBA Welterweight Världsmästare; Tidigare Unified Champion

 

 

 

“Jag älskar ärligt denna kamp, och jag anser att det är en enorm kamp och en av årets bästa matchups. För mig, efter att ha kämpat båda, Jag tror att var och en är kapabel att skada varandra och få varandra därifrån.

 

 

 

“Jag vet att de flesta fans kommer att luta sig mot Danny Garcia med hans knockout-kraft och potentialen för det. Sedan finns Shawn, som har en anständig stans, även om han fokuserar på sin produktion mer än hans enstans solida slag och har det i sitt arsenal att skada Danny Garcia.

 

 

“Jag skulle inte satsa på att Shawn skulle få utslaget, men jag skulle på Shawn få segern, helt enkelt på grund av hans produktion. Jag tror att Danys enda chans att vinna är genom knockout, men även som spelande man, Jag kan inte lägga mina pengar på att Danny får det. Jag tar Shawn Porter efter beslut.”

 

MANNY PACQUIAO, Flera gånger Welterweight världsmästare

 

 

 

Jag kommer att ge fördelen till Danny Garcia. De är båda skitna kämpar, men jag tror att Garcia är lite mer teknisk med lite mer ringgeneralskap. Det borde vara en stor kamp, och det finns en möjlighet för mig att slåss mot vinnaren, men vi måste se vad som händer.”

 

MIKEY GARCIA, Fyra-divisionsvärldsmästare

 

 

 

“Jag tycker att det här är en mycket bra matchup. Shawn Porter är den typen av idrottare som alltid tar kampen till dig med tryck och volym stansning. De kommer båda för att slåss och de kan båda ta det och diska ut det.

 

 

 

“Danny Garcia kan använda sina färdigheter för att boxas på utsidan och arbeta på avstånd. Jag tror att Danny kommer att kunna boxas lite mer och vinna fler av de snäva omgångarna i en mycket nära kamp. Jag är inte säker på om det kommer att vara ett splittrat beslut eller ett enhälligt beslut. Jag tror att Danny kommer att använda fler av dessa taktiker för att vinna ett spännande beslut.”

 

JORDENIS UGAS, Top Welterweight Contender

 

 

 

“Jag har mycket respekt för Shawn Porter, och jag tror att det kommer att bli en bra kamp men, Danny Garcia har mer teknik och han har också mött och slått bättre motståndare än Porter. Jag lutar mig mot Danny Garcia för att dra segern.

 

ROBERT GUERRERO, Tidigare världsmästare i flera divisioner

 

 

 

“Detta kommer att bli en mycket underhållande kamp för fansen. Jag kan se Danny ta en bra kamp, men Porter kommer att göra kampen grov, och Garcia gillar inte den typen av slagsmål. Jag går med Porter för att vinna med delat beslut.”

 

VICTOR ORTIZ, Tidigare Welterweight världsmästare

 

 

 

“Jag tror att det kommer att bli en fartfylld kamp. Shawn kommer att driva framåt, gör det grovt för Danny, och Danny kommer att försöka kontrollera avståndet. Jag går med Danny, ger honom den lilla fördelen och säger att han vinner genom ett beslut.”

 

JAMAL JAMES, Weltervikt Conte

 

 

 

“Det är bra. Shawn är livligare än Danny, mer aktiv och bär mycket fart när han slåss. Men det är inte alltid bra eftersom Garcia har makten med sin timing, han kanske kan fånga Porter som kommer in. Jag tänker att Shawn Porter drar av den. ”

 

BRANDON RIOS, Tidigare världsmästaren & Welterweight Titel Challenger

 

 

 

“Det är en riktigt tuff kamp att förutsäga. Om Danny kan motverka riktigt bra och hålla Shawn Porter borta från honom medan Porter kommer in, då ser jag Danny stoppa honom.

 

 

 

Men om Shawn Porter kan pressa Danny som han brukar göra, Jag ser inte Shawn Porter stoppa Danny, eller vad som helst, men jag ser honom vinna med splitbeslut om han kan vara i bröstet hela natten. Men om Porter blir spikad med en av dessa vänstra krokar eller en rak höger hand, Jag säger att Porter går ner. Jag ska gå med Danny för att han slog ut mig.”

 

BRYANT PERRELLA, Weltervikt Prospect

 

 

 

“Det kan komma till hur bra Shawn Porter kan ta Danny Garcias slag i en kamp som verkligen är svår att förutsäga, och hur bra Danny kan röra sig, med tanke på att han inte är känd för att ha snabba fötter som liknar en kille som Keith Thurman.

 

 

 

Men om Shawn kan komma nära och kväva Danys slag, han kommer att göra det till en svår kamp. Men Danny har riktigt tunga händer och sitter bra på sina skott, timing och motslagning killar, så Porter kunde spela i sina händer.

 

 

 

Baserat på ren, effektiva hårda skott och ger honom kanten i slutet, tävlingsrundor, Jag lutar mig mot Danny Garcia. Shawn är tuff som naglar, så jag ser att det går avståndet, men bara den lilla kanten till Danny.”

 

SAMMY VASQUEZ JR., Weltervikt Conte

 

 

 

 

Jag går med Shawn Porter. Inte med stopp, men Shawn skapar för mycket press och Danny Garcia kastar inte tillräckligt med stansar och hanterar inte tryck. Du såg det när han kämpade mot Guerrero, som inte såg så illa ut i den kampen.

 

 

 

“Danny kan vinna med knockout om han fångar Shawn med den kroken, men Shawn är en arbetshäst och han utövar mycket mer tryck än jag tror Danny någonsin har sett i en kamp. Shawn kanske inte är mottaglig för det om han inte har rätt huvudrörelse, men jag tror att han kommer att göra det.”

WELTERWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPION KEITH THURMAN BREAKS DOWN CHAMPIONSHIP MATCHUP OF FORMER FOES DANNY GARCIA & SHAWN PORTER

This is one of the best matchups of the year. I try not to overthink it. It’s Porter by decision or Garcia only by KO. I lean toward Porter.” –
Keith Thurman
Garcia vs. Bär | Lördag, September 8 Live på Showtime®
From Barclays Center In Brooklyn, Presented By
Premier Boxning Champions

NEW YORK (September 4, 2018) – Welterweight World Champion Keith Thurman has an acute understanding of what it takes to beat Danny Garcia and Shawn Porter. Den obesegrade, former unified champion edged both fighters in blockbuster matchups and will be watching intently from ringside at Barclays Center as the two face off for the WBC Welterweight World Championship Thurman vacated due to injury.

 

 

 

The reigning WBA 147-pound champion, Thurman defeated Porter via unanimous decision in a 2016 Fight of the Year kandidaten (FULL FIGHT VIDEO: https://s.sho.com/2MAUoNH), and narrowly beat Garcia via majority decision in 2017 (FULL FIGHT VIDEO: https://s.sho.com/2MZB6kA). The matchups were so closely contested that both fights would have been ruled draws if a single round were scored differently.

 

 

 

Thurman spoke with SHOWTIME Sports® Hall of Fame analyst Steve Farhood to break down what he callsone of the best matchups of the yearin seven key categories – slagstyrka, physical strength, defense, fart, boxing ability, ring IQ and chin.

 

 

 

See below for Thurman’s analysis of the showdown of consensus top-5 welterweights, which airs this Saturday live on SHOWTIME.

 

PUNCHING POWER: Edge GARCIA: “Danny can punch with both hands. He does load up, so you can’t be right there in front of him.

 

PHYSICAL STRENGTH: Edge PORTER: “Shawn is clearly the more physical fighter.

 

DEFENSE: Edge GARCIA: “Porter’s defense is his offense. With Danny, I’ve never seen anyone so willing to just stare at me without throwing a punch. He’s committed to being second, a pure counterpuncher.

 

SPEED: Edge PORTER: “Shawn is faster and a little more athletic. He’ll triple on the jab to get inside and use stutter-steps. Danny’s real relaxed, but that doesn’t necessarily come through in his hand speed.

 

BOXING ABILITY: Edge GARCIA: “Neither one is known for boxing. Danny’s a counterpuncher, and Shawn outworks you. Danny has nice boxing movement when he wants to be evasive. He’s underrated when on his back foot. We saw that against (Lucas) Matthysse och (Brandon) Rios.

 

RING IQ: EVEN:Hard to judge. These are two world champions with tremendous amateur pedigrees.

 

CHIN: EVEN: “In my fights, Porter took more big punches than Garcia did. I had to hit hard to keep Porter off me. They both have enough power to hurt each other.

 

PREDICTION:This is one of the best matchups of the year. I try not to overthink it. It’s Porter by decision or Garcia only by KO. I lean toward PORTER.

 

 

 

SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® Telecast börjar vid 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT and features a welterweight title eliminator between Yordenis Ugas and Cesar Barrionuevo and heavyweight action that pits unbeaten Polish slugger Adam Kownacki against former heavyweight champion Charles Martin.

Garcia, along with father and trainer Angel Garcia, showed off his skills and spoke about his upcoming clash and more from the DSG Boxing Gym in Philadelphia. Here is what they had to say Wednesday:

 

DANNY GARCIA

 

 

 

Once you’re in there with me, it’s not the same as anyone else. It’s not the same as what you expect it to be. You’re in for a rude awakening.

 

 

 

I’ve knocked out a lot of fighters for the first time, so it won’t be surprising to me if I knock Shawn Porter out for the first time.

 

 

 

Shawn had to have some skill to get to this level, it wasn’t all brawling. Jag tänker inte ta något ifrån honom. We’re prepared for the best Shawn Porter.

 

 

 

This is another opportunity to become a four-time world champion and that excites me. I still feel like the WBC title is mine, so I’m even more ready to reclaim it.

 

 

 

Getting that world title back is what it’s all about. I know that I’m always going to be a top fighter. I fill the seats and make big fights, that’s why Shawn came to me after my win against Brandon Rios for his moment of glory.

 

 

 

I can’t rank Porter against the other top fighters in my career. I’ll have to see what he brings once we get in the ring. I’ve fought a lot of great opponents and he’s just the next in that line.

 

 

 

In boxing they say the more you throw, the more open you are to get hit. Volume punching has to be effective. I’m the sharper boxer and I land the cleaner punches. That’s more my style. We’ve prepared ourselves for 12 hard rounds of any style.

 

 

 

After four rounds you can really tell how strong a fighter is and how good their conditioning is. It’s all about the will power after a certain amount of rounds and I carry that well.

 

 

 

We’ve had perfect sparring with guys who just come forward and put pressure on you. We’ve had bigger, heavier guys and some guys who jab and box how the way that Porter does.

 

 

 

There’s going to be a lot of support from Philly on September 8. I’m a big draw in Brooklyn and I’m going to make it another epic night for Philly sports.

 

ANGEL GARCIA, Dannys far & Tränare

 

 

 

Porter really isn’t worried about Danny’s power, but he should be. I’m not mad about it, he just better have no excuses in that ring. Because Danny’s not about excuses.

 

 

 

We’re working hard and we’re going to be ready for anything Shawn Porter thinks he has up his sleeve. If he comes rushing in, he’s playing right into Danny’s hands.

 

 

 

Danny is a star and he’s going to show it again in this fight. He always puts on a star performance and this going to be another stage for him to shine.

ugas, (22-3, 11 Kos), returns to the SHOWTIME stage for the second time. In February, he handed Ray Robinson his first defeat since a 2010 decision to Shawn Porter. Barrionuevo, (34-3-2, 24 Kos), making his U.S. debut, har vunnit 10 fights in a row and has only lost once since 2010 as he looks to follow in the footsteps of Marcos Maidana and Lucas Matthysse, elite welterweights from Argentina.

 

 

 

Here is what the 32-year-old Ugas and 29-year-old Barrionuevo had to say from their respective camps about their September 8 passa ihop:

 

JORDENIS UGAS

Övergripande, how is your training going in Las Vegas and who have you sparred with?

 

 

We have been training at Fernando Vargas’ Gym, the Feroz Fight Factory gym. We’ve been sparring with Jose Benavidez Jr. and Diego Magdaleno, and a few other locals. Nothing is really different with this camp compared to others. Jag är 100 percent committed to training for this fight.

 

What are the advantages of training in Las Vegas?

I’ve been in Las Vegas for the past two and a half years. This place has changed my life. I came out here and started training with Ismael Salas, who has trained many of the best Cuban boxers. There is such good sparring out here, and there’s also mountains. I love running up Mount Charleston. This is just a perfect place for a fighter to train.

 

How are you preparing to face a southpaw like Cesar Barrionuevo?

We are sparring with lefties and trying to mirror exactly what we think we’ll see. The Argentine fighters always come to fight and are well prepared. They always go to war. Luckily I like to go to war too. So I think we have good styles that will give the fans a great fight.

 

What else do you know about your opponent?

I’ve seen some footage and that’s it. It’s not really about what he does or brings, it’s all about staying focused on what I do best. I don’t take much time off so I’m always in the gym training. I did go down to Miami a few weeks ago and actually trained in Barrionuevo’s gym and met some guys he works with, but we never crossed paths.

 

You are returning to fight on SHOWTIME for a second time. Does that give you an advantage?

Everyone who knows boxing knows I’m the more experienced fighter. This is one of his first times he’s fighting outside Argentina. I know he’s a big deal there, but he’s never seen a stage like this, with all the bright lights. I’m going to be prepared for the best Argentine fighter that shows up that night.

 

What is your prediction of the Garcia-Porter fight?

I think they are two great fighters and whoever is the most prepared on that night will win the fight. Because this is a WBC eliminator, I know there’s a chance I could fight one of them if I win my fight. I would love to fight either of them.

 

CESAR BARRIONUEVO

How is your training camp going in Miami and who have you sparred with?

Technically, everything is strong and with my coaches Carlos [Morgan] and Pablo [Martinez] we feel good about where we are and what we’re doing. I want to be 100 percent ready on September 8 for the fight of my life. I feel like I will be and am so grateful for the support of my team and everyone here at Caicedo Sports’ Gym. I have been sparring with a bunch of local prospects, young guys with undefeated records and guys that are in the same boat as I am looking to become a world champion.

 

How are you preparing for an aggressive fighter like Ugas?

I’m formulating my plan and intensifying my training so I’m 100 procent klar. I’m focusing on my cardio and increasing my strength. That’s why I’m here in the U.S., because the level of competition is better than back home. I feel that everything I’m doing is a step up. I’m having the best training camp of my life. I’m not worrying about my opponentsstyle.

 

What do you know about your opponent?

We have watched some film, but that doesn’t always help you. Split-second adjustments will be made if needed. I’m a fighter at the end of the day, and will be ready for whatever he puts in front of me. I have never met him, but I know he came and worked out at my gym. I don’t know him, but maybe after the fight we can be friends. Right now it’s kill or be killed.

 

What are your thoughts about fighting on the big stage at Barclays Center?

I know I have a huge fan base in Argentina and can’t wait to go back there and celebrate a win with them. I’m so proud of all the past world champions that have come from my country, but I’m not coming to Brooklyn as a tourist. I’m coming to fight and get the victory in spectacular fashion and to put Argentina back on the map in the sport of boxing. The objective is to look good and win and to leave a good impression fighting on SHOWTIME and for everyone watching.

What is your prediction of the Garcia-Porter fight?

It’s a tough fight. Maybe 50-50, but I’m leaning toward Danny Garcia. I think his experience as a world champion will show.

 

Is it hard not to look ahead to a possible future fight with one of those guys?

I haven’t thought about it for even one second. I’m focused on my next task, and that’s Ugas. I’m coming to do what needs to be done to get the win. And I’ll get that win with blood, sweat and tears. I’ll focus on Danny Garcia or Shawn Porter when the time comes.

Porter was joined by his father and trainer, Ken Porter, as the two discussed the highly-anticipated welterweight showdown presented by Premier Boxing Champions. Here is what the Porters had to say Wednesday:

 

SHAWN PORTER

 

 

 

I love being in training camp and grinding every day. We’re just 100 percent focused on what we have to do. I’m seasoned enough where I know how to excel through these stages of camp. Jag känner stor.

 

 

 

We always work on the jab to start our training session. Everyone knows that everything I do comes off of my jab. It’s all about the fundamentals. My dad is smart and knows my athletic potential is there. He’s focused on all the technical and strategic parts of the game.

 

 

 

Whether we look to box or not will be a game-time decision. We’ll have to read the fight. I think we’re going to start trying to mix it up and then take it from there. It’s up to me to see the adjustments and make them. Whatever it takes to win this fight, I am prepared to do it.

 

 

 

Danny’s counter-punching I think plays into my hands. I’m a combination puncher. There’s more than one coming. If there is only one coming, you don’t know where it’s coming from. I think it’s going to take care of Danny’s strength, but I don’t take it lightly. I know that he’s a strong fighter and that’s what I expect in the ring.

 

 

 

I don’t believe that he’s going to stand toe-to-toe with me, but I do believe that’s where he thinks he can win the fight. The point is to hit and not get hit, so we’ll try to keep it as clean as possible. It gets rough in there sometimes, but if you can’t handle the heat, get out of the kitchen.

 

 

 

Once upon a time I probably would have that thought that I could just beat Danny with activity. But I know that I have to be sharp, precise and land most of my punches. I want to throw 60 a round and land 40 procent.

 

 

 

I’m going go out there and be aggressive, be sharp, be quick and let the rest take care of itself. This is a humungous fight that I’ve been looking forward to for a long time.

 

KEN PORTER, Shawn’s Father & Tränare

 

 

 

Any fight that Shawn is in, you’re going to have action. If Shawn went in there and laid back, I doubt that Danny would go after him. I just don’t think Danny is going to go forward like that.

 

 

 

We have to continue to do what we’ve done to get this far. But we’re not going to go after him the way he expects us to.

 

 

 

Danny is trying to pump himself up like he’s some kind of one-punch knockout artist. But I’m a one-punch artist if it’s against someone who can’t box anymore or who’s coming way up in weight. If you hit Shawn Porter with one of those punches, he’s going to hit right back, and with Shawn, it’s going to be more than one.

 

 

 

My focus is on making sure that Shawn is prepared to do the things I need him to do. I have to get him where I need before I focus too much on what Danny is going to bring. We’re making sure Shawn is 100 percent first.

VAD: Showtime Sports® Emmy-award winning reporter Jim Gray sat down with the fathers of Danny Garcia och Shawn Porter as the two former world champions prepare to meet September 8 for the vacant WBC Welterweight World Championship on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING.

 

Angel Garcia och Kenny Porter, who both also serve as their sons’ trainers, are asked by Gray how they react when they watch their sons take punishment in the ring.

 

 

 

“As a dad, I have to separate the boxing,” Angel Garcia said. “So when Danny’s in there I’ve got to look at him as a coach. I can’t look at it as a dad.”

 

 

 

Said Kenny Porter: “As a former boxer, I felt what it’s like to be in that ring… So I feel differently when he’s in the ring. I have a more competitive spirit towards winning than maybe someone who’s kid is in there and they’re looking at whether the kid is getting injured. I’m looking at it like, let’s win.”

 

 

 

Gray gets Porter and Garcia to open up about challenges, regrets and the aspirations they’ve carried for their progeny both in the ring and outside of it. “I do [have regrets],” Angel Garcia said. “I said my faults. I’m not perfect.”

 

 

 

Angel called himself the “most underrated trainer” in boxing today, and Danny the “most underrated fighter.”

 

 

 

At the end of the interview, Kenny unveils a Garcia “DSG” T-shirt that reads: “Showtime Destroys Garcia” and both fathers shared a big laugh.

 

 

 

Live coverage of the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast begins at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT and also features top 147-pound contender Yordenis Ugás(22-3, 11 Kos) taking on Argentine slugger Cesar Barrionuevo (34-3-2, 24 Kos) and unbeaten Polish heavyweight contender Adam Kownacki (17-0, 14 Kos) facing former heavyweight champion Charles Martin (25-1-1, 23 Kos).
