Hier ist, was die Kämpfer bis Mittwoch zu sagen hatte:
Erislandy Lara
I’m not surprised that I’m fighting Vanes again. It’s my job to fight whoever they put in front of me.
I felt that I was a better fighter than him the first time and I’m a little better in almost every area since. One of the most important things is my way of training and my way of getting prepared. I feel that I am much more mature.
I like being back in Las Vegas again. I’m definitely prepared to do what I doand that’s win.
“Nachdem ich gewonnen habe Samstag, I would love to fight GGG or Canelo, but I would prefer GGG. It’s not frustrating that I’m not fighting the biggest names all the time. I’m a headliner.
I don’t feel any pressure. I’m just going to do my job and just keep winning. Solange ich immer gewinnen, everything will take care of itself.
LAMELLEN MARTIROSYAN
I’ve been fighting as a pro for over 10 Jahre. This is definitely the most important fight of my career. It’s do or die. Win and I move 10 steps forward, lose and I go 10 steps backwards.
Beating Lara this time is 10 times bigger than if I had won the first time. Lara has gotten better, maybe his style hasn’t changed much, but I feel that I’m much better too.
There has been lots of changes in my camp. All for the better. I’m more focused in training. We’ve gone back to doing things the way we used to. I’ve really been dedicated. More than ever.
I’ve given 100 percent every single day in the gym. Das wird ein harter Kampf sein,. I hope he comes to me. It makes for a good fight. Tatsächlich, I think he is going to come forward a little more than people expect, but I’m prepared to chase him. Whatever it takes to be effective.
If he is aggressive, once he feels my power, he is going to go back to what he does best – Laufen.
I’m coming to give my all.
Charlo JERMALL
All of the lost opportunities were part of my journey to get to this point. I know people aren’t going to give me my credit for fighting Trout because people will feel like he has had his time in his career, which we all do, but now it’s my time and I’m taking every opportunity I can.
I look back at the situations I’ve had to get here and it’s exciting. I have a big name opponent in Austin Trout and I feel like the underdog. I’m the young buck in the game who’s trying to be the lion. Although I do have the belt, its because I had to take it from someone that didn’t deserve it.
Every time Austin Trout gets to this level, he fails. He didn’t fight the same Miguel Cotto, he just wasn’t himself that night. I have to come in there and take what’s mine.
“Was auch immer passiert, Ich bin begeistert. We train, we prepare for 12 Runde. I’m prepared for whatever I need to be.
I’m excited to be here and fight and be able to support my brother. We’re able to roll through anything and keep looking forward. The good and the bad.
Everything I’ve been through; I try to move forward every fight. I got the belt from Cornelius Bundrage, I defended the belt and now I have the opportunity to fight Austin Trouta bigger name.
AUSTIN FORELLE
“Ich ziehe meinen Hut vor ihm. Er ist ungeschlagen. Er ist ein Meister. I’ve been through more to get to where I’m at. I’m more of a dangerous fighter.
He’s not one to shy away from a challenge. I feel like I’m a better fighter. I’m shocked that I got a title shot this fast. I thought I was going to have to go back to the drawing board. The opportunity came and I’m so excited.
I’ve been working on my inside game. The things outside of the ringtightening up myself as a person. It’s been helping me in the ring.
On Jermall predicting a knockout:
He’s dreaming. Everyone has dreams, but I’ve been known to bust people’s bubbles. No one has been able to knock me out. He thinks he’s a great man. A better man than Canelo or Lara? He’s tripping.
I’m probably his toughest test to date.
The next chapter would be to fight my mandatory, unify and be undisputed champion.
Jermell Charlo
“Das ist Geschichte im Entstehen. It’s extremely exciting. We never really thought about it like this. We knew we would be boxing and winning titles, but this is special. We have the opportunity to both be world champions at the same time.
We don’t know what to expect am Samstag, but we’re excited to put on a show and make a mark.
I have to get in there and prove to my opponent and the rest of the world that I’m dangerous and I will be victorious.
We always wanted to fight. We always want to prove ourselves to each other. About everything. We caused trouble but found ourselves in boxing.
I thought my opportunity would come first, but everything happens for a reason. Look at this moment. It’s motivated me and now it’s paying off.
The new training camp has been an adjustment, not being with my brother every day. I’ve been able to define who I am and my brother is able to do his thing.
My motivation is that I was once with my brother everyday. What pushed me so much in camp was knowing that I’m not with my brother everyday, but I’m still in the same shape, even better and stronger. Not through coaches, but in general. Mentally I’m the same or better. We didn’t get worse because we split. The point is what we are doing to stay in shape physically and mentally to be the best we can be.
John Jackson
This is going to be a good fight. It could be the best fight on the card. I’m an explosive fighter so expect fireworks.
My dad has given me advice my whole career. I have a lot of great insight about how to manage my emotions. He’s instrumental in my corner. Ich bin 100 Prozent bereit.
There is a lot of pressure on Jermell, but I’m sure he’s not over thinking it. I’m expecting the best Charlo in there.
I go in there to go to war. Was auch immer passiert, happens. I’m going to leave it all in the ring and give the fans a great show.
I’m happy to be the underdog. I like to be the underdog and prove people wrong. I’m happy to be in this position. I was an underdog in the Olympics. I love the pressure. He has more to lose than I do.
I’ve been dreaming about this moment my whole life. Ich bin 100 percent ready for this and I can’t wait to perform under the lights.
“Stellen Sie sicher, dass Sie sich einschalten, because I’m going all out for the belt.
LEONARD ELLERBE, CEO von Mayweather Promotions
We’re very busy. We are going full steam ahead. We are doing events, putting butts in the seats and promoting our fighters.
This is a great card. Anytime you can put the top fighters in a single weight class on the same show, it is bound to be a great event for the fans and for the sport in general.
We’re happy to be working with SHOWTIME once again to put on another tremendously competitive fight card for the fans.

While they definitely have their similaritieslook the same, have one letter different in their first names, have the same dreams and goals in the same sportlike any sibling relationship, they also have their differences. One likes the color black and while the other likes white. One likes horse racing, one likes basketball. Jedoch, one of the things they agree on most, is their desire to make history.
We never dreamed of being able to make history on the same night and on the same card together,” said Jermell. “It makes it even more intense. The stakes are much bigger.
We’ve always planned on making history and the time is now,” said Jermall. “I need him to go in there and do his job and at the end of the night, we’ll both have our hands raised.

Lara and Martirosyan will meet after their 2012 bout ended in a technical draw. See below for the Cuban-born champion’s thoughts on training camp, the rematch and more:
On his rematch with Vanes Martirosyan:
“Dies ist ein sehr wichtiger Kampf für mich. Our last fight unfortunately ended in a draw because of a clash of heads so we have some unfinished business to take care of. This time I’m not going to leave any doubt on who the better fighter is. I’m coming to dominate and retain my world championship.
Auf Trainingslager:
I’m taking this fight very seriously. I’ve been pushing my body to get in the best shape possible. My body feels incredible and I couldn’t ask for a better training camp. I’ve been sparring a lot and my timing is getting better with each session. Everything is going as planned.
Am Mai 21 Karte:
It’s great to be fighting on this card, especially when there is so much on the line while I defend my title. Außerdem, the Charlo brothers are fighting on the undercard, which makes for a great night of boxing for the super welterweight division. The landscape of the 154-pound division will be laid out afterMai 21.”
On the state of the super welterweight division:
Honestly I believe the 154-pound division is one of the strongest in all of boxing. I feel I’m leading the pack and my goal is to unify all the belts. I’m going to take it one fight at a time with the mindset to clean out the division.
On fighting in Las Vegas:
Vegas is the boxing capital of the world and fighting there is unbelievable. The fans are very supportive. The Chelsea at The Cosmopolitan is very intimate and every seat in the building is a good seat. I anticipate a lively crowd.
On his relationship with Ronnie Shields:
Ronnie is a great coach and his game plans are very well thought out. He keeps everything simple. If we have to make adjustments during the fight, he’ll be able to point them out. We both have a great mutual respect for one another.

‘I don’t see this being a boring fight; he’s going to bring it, I’m going to bring it’ – Austin Trout

Klicken HIER For Photos From Dave Nadkarni/PBC

WASHINGTON, D.C. (April 20, 2016) - Austin Trout (30-2, 17 KOs), the former super welterweight world champion, is ready to collect his second world title on Samstag, Mai 21 when he meets IBF Junior Middleweight world champion Jermall Charlo in a 12-round match live on SHOW TIME (10 p.m. UND/7 p.m. PT) von Der Chelsea, a one-of-a-kind 40,000-square-foot venue inside Das The Cosmopolitan.

 

“It’s my time,” said Trout. “My focus is amplified 10-fold. I’m the confident, happy Austin that fans know, but trust me, when it’s fight time I’m ready for any dogfight that comes. You’ll see Austin bring out and defeat the ‘Lion’ in him because at the end of the day I’m taking that belt.”

 

Karten für das Live-Event, die von Mayweather Promotions und TGB Promotions gefördert wird, sind jetzt im Verkauf. Skipass-Preise beginnen bei $39, und sind online abrufbar www.cosmopolitanlasvegas.com or through Ticketmaster at (800) 745-3000und www.ticketmaster.com.

 

Born in El Paso, Texas and raised in Las Cruces, New Mexico, Trout is trained by Barry Hunter and Louie Burke of Headbangers Gym in Washington D.C. Having started boxing at the age of 10, his natural talent and the ability to grow into the sport took Austin across the United States and Latin America in the amateur divisions and then into the pros. Known as one of the fiercest gentlemen competitors in the sport, he beat the likes of Miguel Cotto, Rigoberto Alvarez and Delvin Rodriguez, before losing his title to Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez. Trout comes into Mai 21 looking to claim a title in a division he’s been a true threat within for his career.

 

You’ve said you’ve been led to this fight, why is it important?

“Coming off of four consecutive wins, I’m not just on a comeback streak but I’m taking a full step forward. Charlo is the champ, this fight is about no more half stepping. It’s about taking on the best. Isn’t that what it’s about, being the best?"

 

How is camp going?

“I physically feel great. I’m really comfortable with Barry, it’s my fourth camp with the Headbangers team; Luis is there as well. Luis helps me with pre-camp and then I shift to D.C.

 

“I was already in D.C. getting camp started when the rumors about this fight came true. I had been at the gym at home for pre-camp for a month and a half before hitting D.C. I was working out five times a week, running every day just getting the program going. Wie ich gesagt habe, no half-stepping. I’m already sparring, doing the work, getting right. I’m not walking through it but running and trotting through it. Ich bin 30, I’m at my physical peak, my talent couldn’t be any better.”

 

Talk about the fight and what to expect?

“Neither one of us is going out without a fight, so I don’t see this being a boring fight. It’s time for people to remember me. I’ve earned this championship shot against an undefeated bull like Jermall Charlo but I will take his belt. "

 

Your first professional loss was against ‘Canelo’ Alvarez in San Antonio in 2013. What are your thoughts on that fight?

“I had a good, competitive fight with Saul – it felt like a unification bout – I was WBA champion and he was WBC champion. The open scoring was more detrimental to my game plan thea the judges! During the fight when I was told that I wasn’t winning on anyone’s cards I had to change my game plan. It was a dogfight. Canelo never had to box and move that much before in a fight.

"Aber, live and learn. Instead of walking into a fight like that I listened to those around me. No more surprises. This Charlo fight is a fight I want, a fight my team wants and we’re ready. I’m a more mature, focused champion who’s coming back. I’m dangerous – I have experience, talent and God on my side.”

I’m looking forward and I’m excited to be making my 2016 debut in the boxing capitol of Las Vegas come May 21,” sagte Lara. “I can’t wait to get in the ring as I have unfinished business to take care of with Vanes. I’m the champion and will remain the champion. I will leave no doubt who the better fighter is and will show the world that I’m the best fighter in the 154-pound division. I am dedicating this fight to a great man and boxing idol Gilberto Mendoza Sr. May he rest in peace and enjoy this display of master boxing from heaven, that I will put on for him when I step in the ring on fight night.
Erislandy Lara and I have unfinished business from our first fight,” Said Martirosyan. “I had him beat that night and I’ll beat him on May 21. My time is now and I know I will be the new champion of the world on Mai 21.”
The 25-year-old Charlos are aiming for history against stiff opposition from a former champion in Trout and the Olympian from the Virgin Islands in Jackson.
This will be a history-making, record-breaking night for the Charlo twins,” said Jermall Charlo. “It means everything to us to be able to fight in two championship fights on the same card. This is everything we’ve ever dreamed of. This is going to be a great night of boxing and I’m preparing myself for war. Austin Trout is a seasoned vet. He’s fought world champions and has beaten future Hall of Famer Miguel Cotto. This is one of my biggest fights to date, but I’m preparing the same way I always do. I’m going to be on my ‘A’ Spiel. I’m ready to make history.
I’m extremely excited and grateful for the opportunity to fight for the world title on Mai 21,” sagte Trout. “It’s a twice-in-a-lifetime chance for a second world title and I’m going to take full advantage of it. I’m working hard and have already been in training camp in D.C. and ready to take full advantage of the moment. I’ve sat at the championstable before and am ready to go back again and eat from it again. Destiny brought me here not to lose, aber um zu gewinnen. I’m going to show up and show out and this world title.
“Dies ist ein großer Kampf für mich,” said Jermell Charlo. “It’s my first opportunity to fight for a title and my brother is on the same card defending his belt. There has never been identical twin brothers that are both world champions in the same weight class. We’re going to go out there and make history and send a message to the whole division. I’m excited to get in the ring and I know John Jackson is too. This is an important time in my career and I will be well prepared. Let the best man win.
I’m very grateful for this opportunity to become a world champion,” sagte Jackson. “I’ve been training very hard for the last two months for this fight and come Mai 21 I will be victorious over Jermell Charlo and realize my lifelong dream of becoming a world champion, like my dad, the great Julian Jackson.
This is yet another example of SHOWTIME Sportscommitment to delivering the best lineup in boxing,” sagte Stephen Espinoza, Executive Vice President & Hauptgeschäftsführer, Showtime Sports. “We’re featuring three important championship fights in one of boxing’s most intriguing young divisionsa tripleheader that will bring our 2016 tally of world title bouts to 14 – all free to SHOWTIME subscribers. We’re excited to offer this rare opportunity to see the top fighters in a division all on the same telecast.
Mayweather Promotions is thrilled to bring this fantastic tripleheader of super welterweight world champions to fight fans,” sagte Leonard Ellerbe, CEO von Mayweather Promotions. “The best of the 154-pound division will be on display on Mai 21 and we expect an action-packed night of drama.
We’re very excited to work with SHOWTIME on this action-packed tripleheader,” sagte Tom Brown von TGB Promotions. “Erislandy Lara and Vanes Martirosyan have a huge score to settle from their 2012 ende, and Jermall and Jermell Charlo are in high-stakes matchups against Austin Trout and John Jackson, beziehungsweise, in what promises to be a highly entertaining evening of boxing.
Der 32-Jährige Lara is a slick boxer with the ability to deliver punishment while taking very little of it in return. Lara has notched victories over Alfredo Angulo, Austin Trout, Ishe Smith and Freddy Hernandez. Als Amateur, Lara gewann zahlreiche Titel, darunter einer nationalen Meisterschaft im Weltergewicht und auch in die beteiligten 2007 Pan-Am-Spiele. Der Kämpfer ursprünglich aus Guantanamo, Cuba dominated Delvin Rodriguez in June of last year and followed that up with a third-round stoppage of former champion Jan Zaveck.
Geboren in Armenien, aber die Bekämpfung von Glendale, Calif., Martirosyan vertreten die U.S.-. am 2004 Olympiade. Als professioneller, he won his first 32 fights before fighting Lara to a draw in 2012. The 29-year-old suffered a narrow defeat by split decision in his first world title shot against Demetrius Andrade, but has rebounded with solid victories over Mario Lozano, Willie Nelson and most recently Ishe Smith.
A newly crowned champion at 25-years-old, Charlo grabbed his title with a dominant third-round stoppage of Cornelius Bundrage in September 2015. Wohnsitz in Houston, Charlo baute seinen Lebenslauf in 2014 with dominant triumphs over Hector Munoz, Norberto Gonzale, Lenny Bottai and Michael Finney. In seinem jüngsten Ausflug, he successfully defended his title with a fourth-round stoppage of Wilky Campfort in November.
In 2004, Forelle won the U.S. National Amateur-Meisterschaft im Weltergewicht und nach dem Aufstieg in die Reihen als Elite-Profi-Boxer, er ein Superweltergewicht Weltmeisterschaft gewonnen in 2011 durch das Besiegen von Rigoberto Alvarez. He went on to make four successful defenses, including a career-best, dominant victory over Miguel Cotto in New York. He is currently on a four-fight win streak after knocking out Joey Hernandez in September to set up his world title opportunity.
Younger-by-one-minute than Jermall, Jermell Charlo is a highly ranked young fighter looking to get one step closer to a world title shot. Ein großer Kämpfer für seine Division, the 25-year-old earned his shot at a world title with victories over Gabriel Rosado, Charlie Ota and Mario Lozano in 2014 and Martirosyan and former world champion Joachim Alcine in 2015. He impressed last time out by disposing of Alcine in the sixth-round of their fight in Houston in October.
Since representing his native Virgin Islands in the 2008 Olympiade, Jackson has put together an impressive pro career. Die St. Thomas-born fighter won his initial 13 fights after making his debut in January 2009. The 27-year-old earned the No. 1 spot and the title shot with a shutout victory over Dennis Laurente in August. Jackson comes from a fighting family; his father Julian Jackson was a world champion and feared power-puncher while his brother, Julius, is a contender in the 168-pound weight class.

A newly crowned champion at 25-years-old, Charlo grabbed his title with a dominant third-round stoppage of Cornelius Bundrage in September 2015.

He went on to make four successful defenses, including a career-best, dominant victory over Miguel Cotto in New York. He is currently on a four-fight win streak after knocking out Joey Hernandez in September to set up his world title opportunity.

 

Younger-by-one-minute than Jermall, Jermell Charlo is a highly ranked young fighter looking to get one step closer to a world title shot. Ein großer Kämpfer für seine Division, the 25-year-old earned his shot at a world title with victories over Gabriel Rosado, Charlie Ota and Mario Lozano in 2014 and Martirosyan and former world champion Joachim Alcine in 2015.

The 27-year-old earned the No. 1 spot and the title shot with a shutout victory over Dennis Laurente in August.
