Berikut adalah apa yang para pejuang harus mengatakan Selasa:
GARY RUSSELL JR.
“I use everything going on with me outside of the ring as fuel. It’s been very difficult dealing with the passing of my brother and my dad’s health issues. I tell people all the time that life is like boxing. You have to keep your chin down and hands up. I’m grateful that I’m mentally strong when it comes to stuff like this. This is what champions do, we overcome adversity.
“I’ve been willing to compete against whoever, whenever and wherever. But I can’t force these guys to get in the ring and fight me. I just have to prepare to the best of my ability. I need a dance partner.
“I see him as a good even-handed puncher, maybe he leans a little more to the right hand. He has good punching power, but none of that matters if you can’t hit your target.
“We’re grinding in training camp. Tidak peduli apa, we’re not going to make any excuses or complaints.
“If I’m going to move up in weight, I want to fight the champion. I’m not planning to move up in weight just to stand in line. I’m fighting Magsayo because he moved up the rankings and earned this spot. Everyone who I’ve competed against has been the next best guy under the champion.
“I don’t have any concerns with Magsayo’s power. You very seldom see me have to come back on the scorecards. Magsayo had to come back in his last fight because he was losing on the cards. That shows some holes in his armor.
“I never overlook anybody. Of course I want the Gervonta Davis fight. But I’m focused on Magsayo. He’s the one who worked his way into this position to fight me. Davis is in no rush, so I’m going to remain focused on a true warrior who’s getting into the ring with me.
“I stay in the gym. Boxing is not just what I do, it’s a lifestyle for me. Even when I’m over and done with my career, I’m still going to be in the gym. I never really blow up and get big in weight. I love what I do and I’m very militant in my mindset.
“No one can really prepare for me. You can’t prepare like you think you can. I know Magsayo will be at his physical and mental best. Saya angkat topi kepadanya, because he’s willing to put it on the line to prove he’s the best. I wish other fighters would take that same risk.
“A lot of these other guys aren’t willing to step in there with me because of the skillset that I bring. Akhirnya, we have another fighter with some heart who’s willing to fight. I want him to bring his best, so we’ll see whose best is best.”
MARK MAGSAYO
“I’m very thankful to my whole team for making this fight happen. I’ve been training for three and a half months now, so I’m going to be well prepared for this fight.
“I don’t think Gary has faced anyone since he became champion that has the skills that I have. I’m going to go in there to show him something he’s never seen before and we’ll see how he reacts. “I learned a lot from the Ceja fight. That gave me a lesson on how to adjust in the middle of a fight. It’s going to help me against Russell.
“I respect Gary Russell Jr., he’s a great champion, but I’m winning this fight on January 22. I want to prove to the people everywhere that I’m the best featherweight in the world.
“I’m going to show the world that I’m the best at this weight. This is the fight that I’ve wanted for a long time. I’ve been waiting patiently for my chance and I’m ready to do my best.
“I’ve had great sparring partners to prepare me for Russell and give me the same looks that he’ll give me on fight night. This is my first world title fight and I’m going to give it my all.
“I’m not trying to be the next Manny Pacquiao, but I’m trying to put my own mark on the history of this sport and for all Filipinos. I’m hungry to prove it all in the ring.
“I’m going to be the stronger fighter against Russell. We trained every day with Freddie Roach and we’ve worked on a lot of different techniques we’ll use in this fight.
“I know he’s going to bring his talent into the ring, but I’m going to show everybody that I can deliver a great fight and become champion.”

CARSON, CALIF.(Mei 29, 2021) -Nonito Donaire adalah juara sekali lagi. Empat belas tahun setelah dia memenangkan gelar dunia pertamanya, “Filipino Flash” memperkuat kredensial Hall of Fame-nya dengan kemenangan KO ronde keempat yang sensasionalNordine Oubaaliuntuk merebut gelar WBC World Bantamweight Sabtu malam di acara utama SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING dari Dignity Health Sports Park di Carson, Kalif. dalam acara Premier Boxing Champions.
“Raja telah kembali,Donaire berseri-seri sesudahnya. “Saya suka keramaian. Semua temanku, keluarga, semua penggemar tinju yang keluar terima kasih banyak. Kalian luar biasa.”
Donaire berusia 38 tahun (41-6, 27 Biaya) sekarang menjadi juara dunia tertua di 118-pon. Dia menyelesaikannya dengan tangan kiri yang telah menjadi kartu panggilan karirnya saat dia menjatuhkan Oubaali (17-1, 12 Biaya) total tiga kali.
“Berada di usia ini bukanlah pertanyaannya, ini tentang kinerja saya,” kata Donaire. “Tentang kemampuanku untuk tumbuh. Saya percaya tidak masalah berapa usia Anda, tapi seberapa kuat mentalmu. Apa yang saya pelajari dari [Naoya] Pertarungan Inoue adalah aku kembali. Saya masih bisa bersaing di level ini. Sepanjang waktu saya tidak berkelahi, saya sedang belajar. Saya siap untuk yang berikutnya.”
Mengikuti ronde pertama yang terasa, Donaire pergi bekerja di detik, berjalan Oubaali ke bawah dan melawan dengan efek berdebar. Donaire mencetak knockdown pertama di awal set ketiga, menjatuhkan Oubaali dengan hook kiri counter khasnya. Orang Prancis itu bangkit dengan kaki goyah dan Donaire menerkam, mendaratkan lebih banyak pukulan besar sampai pukulan kiri lainnya menjatuhkan Oubaali hanya sepersekian detik sebelum putaran berakhir. Lagi, Oubaali berjuang untuk berdiri, linglung namun mau berjuang.
Akhir datang dengan cepat di yang keempat. Donaire dengan ahli mengarahkan Oubaali di sekitar ring, menjepitnya ke tali di mana pukulan kiri membuat Oubaali ambruk ke kanvas untuk ketiga kalinya dan terakhir. Wasit Jack Reiss segera membatalkannya. Waktu resmi penghentian adalah 1:52 dari putaran keempat.
“Tiga dekade menjadi juara dunia. Juara dunia sembilan kali. Itu luar biasa,” kata Donaire. “Saya datang ke sini dan saya merasa sangat baik. Hari ini saya tahu persis apa yang akan terjadi. Saya tahu persis apa yang akan saya lakukan. Saya pikir saya hanya sangat fokus di gym. aku sangat, sangat fokus. Saya hanya merasa sangat senang masuk dan saya bersyukur mendapatkan kesempatan ini.
“Malam ini adalah sesuatu yang harus saya buktikan kepada dunia bahwa saya kembali dan saya lebih kuat dari sebelumnya. Dia adalah pria yang sangat tangguh. Saya pikir akhirnya untuk saya, ada level haruskah aku lebih bersabar? Atau haruskah saya melakukannya?? Sesuatu yang saya pelajari dalam pertarungan Inoue adalah untuk membunuh. Dan itulah yang saya lakukan. saya sabar, tapi aku tahu dia cukup terluka sehingga aku bisa membawanya keluar.”
Dalam co-fitur, Puerto RicoSubriel Matias (17-1, 17 Biaya) memberikan tampilan pukulan kuat lainnya power, mogok sebelumnya-tak terkalahkanBatyr Jukebayev (18-1, 14 Biaya) sampai tendangan sudut Jukembayev menghentikan pertarungan setelah delapan ronde yang memukau.
“Saya pikir ini yang diharapkan semua orang. Semua orang tahu itu akan menjadi perang yang hebat,” kata Matias. “Ini akan berakhir dengan KO apakah saya akan tersingkir atau Jukembayev akan tersingkir.. Saya hanya senang saya yang menjatuhkannya.”
Matias membuktikan dirinya sebagai salah satu yang terbaik di divisi bertumpuk, tapi kemenangan terakhir ini tidak mudah. Jukebayev dari Kazakhstan keluar dengan kuat, mendaratkan kombinasi pukulan hook-kanan kanan di lantai atas dari posisi kidalnya yang menarik perhatian Matias pada awalnya.
Jukebayev mendorong kecepatan di detik. Matias mulai melepaskan tangannya di yang ketiga, melempar kombinasi ke kepala dan tubuh. Kedua kombatan sekarang sepenuhnya dihangatkan, menyiapkan panggung untuk putaran keempat yang bisa menjadi kandidat untuk “Round of the Year.”
Itu dimulai ketika sebuah hook kiri yang keras membuat Jukebayev terhuyung-huyung dan membawanya ke kanvas. Matias berusaha untuk menutup pertunjukan tetapi Jukembayev bertahan, membersihkan kepalanya dan mulai mendaratkan tembakannya sendiri. Dengan satu menit tersisa di bait, Jukembayev mengejutkan Matias dengan umpan silang kiri. Alih-alih clinching, Matias melawan api dengan api, membawa orang banyak keluar dari tempat duduk mereka dengan aksi kaki-ke-kaki sampai bel berbunyi.
Matias tidak pernah berhenti maju. Mengikuti seperenam satu sisi, Jukebayev kembali ke sudutnya dengan kedua mata bengkak tertutup. Bolak-balik terjadi di ronde ketujuh saat Jukembayev memukul Matias dengan dua hook kanan menjelang akhir ronde..
Matias kembali ke kursi pengemudi di ronde kedelapan, menggebrak Jukebayev dengan kedua tinjunya. Total, dia mengalahkan Jukebayev dengan 100 pukulan (234/608 untuk 134 /409) dan lebih akurat (38.5% untuk 32.8%). Akumulasi pukulan sudah cukup untuk meyakinkan sepak pojok Jukembayev untuk meminta pertarungan dihentikan.
“Dia tahu dia tidak akan rugi. Dia masuk dan melakukan segalanya dengan kuat,” kata Matias. “Dia tahu bahwa yang bisa dia lakukan hanyalah menjatuhkan saya untuk menang. Saya akan melakukan hal yang sama. Itu adalah hati seorang pejuang dan dia memiliki semua rasa hormat saya.
“Setelah putaran keempat itu, Maksud saya dia adalah petarung yang sangat kompetitif, jadi itu berubah menjadi perang setelah itu. Tanganku naik ke dia juga. Itu adalah pertarungan besar. Saya pasti memiliki lawan lain yang sangat bagus, tapi ini adalah salah satu yang telah memberi saya ujian terberat. ”
Di pembuka siaran, Gary Antuanne Russell (14-0, 14 Biaya) melanjutkan pendakiannya ke peringkat super ringan. Russell yang tak terkalahkan menjadi yang pertama menghentikan yang kasarJovanie santiago (14-2-1, 10 Biaya), mendominasi Santiago sampai wasit Sharon Sands menghentikan pertandingan setelah ronde keenam atas saran tendangan sudut Santiago.
“Tujuannya adalah mengeluarkan pria itu sesegera mungkin dan keluar tanpa cedera,” kata Russel. “Saya hanya ingin mengatakan bahwa Santiago adalah lawan kelas-A. Banyak orang mengira dia mengalahkan Adrien Broner. Saya ingin Adrien Broner sekarang.”
Dengan kakak laki-laki dan Juara Kelas Bulu Dunia WBC Gary Russell Jr. bekerja di sudutnya, Gary Antuanne mengendalikan aksi dari bel pembukaan opening. Itu 2016 Olympian melakukan jab dan langsung meninggalkan posisi kidal, menjentikkan kepala Santiago ke belakang beberapa kali pada awalnya.
Russell, 24, terus mendarat di kiri di yang kedua dan ketiga. Di awal keempat, dia mengikuti lurus ke kiri ke tulang rusuk dengan hook kanan pendek di lantai atas yang menjatuhkan Santiago ke lutut. Santiago dari Puerto Rico dengan gagah berani bangkit dan selamat dari serangan lanjutan untuk keluar dari ronde.
“Yang penting bagi saya adalah untuk mengeksekusi putaran demi putaran, dan putaran demi putaran, Saya mengeksekusi lebih dan lebih. Ayahku menyuruhku pergi ke tubuh, kait kanan di lantai atas. Dia terbuka untuk itu,” kata Russel.
Russell tidak menunjukkan tanda-tanda melambat meskipun diperpanjang lebih dari empat ronde untuk pertama kalinya dalam karir profesionalnya. Ketinggian Ibukota, Md. produk mengalahkan Santiago di babak keenam, mendaratkan kombinasi hukuman di seluruh frame. Beberapa saat kemudian, pertarungan dihentikan.
“Sangat penting bagi saya untuk tampil jadi saya tidak hanya dikenal sebagai adik laki-laki Gary Russell,” kata Russel, yang mendarat 146 dari 444 pukulan (32.9%). “Saya berasal dari latar belakang petarung yang luar biasa. Kami sedang membangun sebuah dinasti.
“Seberapa cepat saya ingin kembali ke ring? Jika saya bisa bertarung dengan kartu Deontay Wilder, itu akan sangat bagus.”

Berikut adalah apa yang para pejuang harus mengatakan Kamis:
NORDINE OUBAALI "Iya nih, we’ve sparred but training is training. When you go into a fight, it’s not the same. Every fight is different and I know on Saturday I will put on a great show with Nonito Donaire because I know he’s a good boxer but I know I’m the best. I trained so hard for this and now I’m ready to fight. I want to show everybody that the best two bantamweights in boxing today are fighting on Saturday.
"Iya nih, he’s had an outstanding career and he has power but I believe I have more power than him. I know I have the power. He’s a good boxer but I’m the world champion and on Saturday I’m going to show the world who is the best. I know I am the best. I respect Nonito. He’s had a good career but I’m the best in the division.
“The difference in the fight is going to be I want to win more. I want to continue to make history and stay as the world champion in this division. I know that it’s my time. I want this more than he does.
“If I’m victorious, why not have my next fight be for the unification? I want to make history every time and this is my motivation. I’m here because I love boxing and I want to face the best boxers every time. I’m facing Nonito Donaire and that’s great for my career. I just like to fight and this is my life.”
NONITO DONAIRE
“It would be great to win the title at 38 years old and become the oldest champion at 118 pon, but let’s keep it going. Let’s make it 40. Let’s make it 42. There ain’t no stopping me. Mental, I’m very grateful but at the same time I’m just very ready.
“I’m always healthy and the reason why I can compete with anybody is because I keep myself healthy and I work hard. There’s nothing less than 100 percent every time I’m in that gym.
“I’m very hard-headed so I don’t always do what people tell me to do. People can say that it’s their time. But I also have my time and I’m always going to be the one who concedes their time or makes that decision. It’s still my time.
“It’s going to be a great fight. Oubaali is the champion for a reason. He’s been through it in terms of the amateurs and making it here. So we’re not underestimating any of that. But I’ve fought in this venue many times and I always make magical fights in the first place. It’s always going to be magical with me. I’m a unicorn.
“The difference in this fight is going to be my hunger. He’s younger than me but I have the hunger. We both have an objective and that’s what’s going to make this a great fight.
“I want to fight the best out there. I want the rematch with Naoya Inoue and I want to get all the belts. The only thing I haven’t accomplished in boxing is becoming undisputed champion. I’ve done everything else. Fighter of the Year. Knockout of the Year. Multiple championships. Four-division champion. You name it. That’s my main goal. Get the belt and put them all together.
“Bantamweight is my real weight. I’ve always fought in the heavier division because of the excitement, the challenge and the lucrative offer or the names at that time. Saat Ini, I’m here where I belong and this is where I’m really strong.
“The layoff will not be a factor at all. The time off helped me out. Just being out of the ring helped my body recover. And the eagerness and the hunger is there more than ever. It was a blessing for me.” SUBRIEL MATIAS “I will be his toughest test without question and come Saturday night, everybody will find out why I’m saying that.
“I believe him when he says that he has the tools to get a stoppage on Saturday. But it’s not just a matter of saying, on Saturday night he has to prove it. If it’s going to come out of your mouth, then you have to prove it.
“We’re both knockout artists and with what we’re looking at, this fight should not finish by a decision.
“I don’t have much to say about that fight against Petros Ananyan. Those that saw me lose, I lost. There’s nothing I can say about it. But those that know boxing know that I’ve been progressing and improving and you all will see that on Saturday.”
BATYR JUKEMBAYEV “I had a great training camp. I am ready for Saturday night. I know that he’s a good fighter but I promise that I will be ready.
“We will see Saturday night whether it’s going to end in a knockout. I’ll show you what I’m made of and you will all see.”
GARY ANTUANNE RUSSELL
“I’m in the hurt business. He’s a slugger. If he wants to come in there and slug with me, he will feel my power. He will see how intelligent I am. Not just mentally, but physically with my hands. Seperti saya katakan, I’m in the hurt business. I come to hurt.
“Pardon my lack of Spanish, but what you are going to see is, ‘la violencia.’ He’s going to bring his pressure. He’s going to bring punches in bunches and I believe that’s all he can bring. If he’s been training and trying to perfect himself for my style of fighting, that’s fine. You’re not supposed to come in here one-dimensional. A diamond shines from all sides.
“The only thing I can say is this venue is going to promote blood, sweat and tears and the desire of people to be great. I’m definitely one of them. I’ve been in the gym giving my blood, my sweat and my tears and I’m bringing all of that to this venue come Saturday night.
“I definitely want to stay more active. That’s always been my plan. The pandemic slowed things down. Fans always tell me they want to see me get back in there…I just tell them, me too. The fighters aren’t the ones pulling all of the strings. Should I be more active? Tentu saja. I want to be more active.
“I want to show that I’m the cream of the crop. I’m a superstar. The light hasn’t been shining on me because there’s a lot of other things going on. Sampai saat itu, you’re going to have to wait and see. Come Saturday, it will be a great show. There will be some sparks and fireworks. I have an opponent that’s not willing to lay down. If he’s not willing to, I must make him lay down.”
JOVANIE SANTIAGO
“I know that he’s a good fighter. An Olympian. He’s young and he’s going to come fight. I’m going to come to fight too, so if the fight finishes early, then it finishes early.
“I just have to work round-by-round, throw punches and win one round at a time. After I beat Russell, everybody is going to be on my side.
“This is my weight. This is where I’m most comfortable. I’ve always been a 140-pounder and Saturday that’s what I’m going to demonstrate.
“This time, I’m fighting at my actual weight. Saya merasa kuat. I’m coming to work round-by-round and on Saturday everybody will see what I’m all about.”
