Aquí teniu el que van dir els lluitadors dels seus respectius camps d'entrenament:
Erislandy Lara
(24-2-2, 14 KOs) De Guantánamo, Cuba & Entrenant amb Ronnie Shields a Houston
Q. Com ha anat el camp d'entrenament? S'ha vist afectat pels huracans i quin és el vostre missatge per a les persones afectades a la vostra casa d'entrenament a Houston i casa a Miami??
“El camp d'entrenament va bé com sempre. S'ha fet molta feina al campament. Pel que fa als huracans, va inundar malament a les zones properes al nostre gimnàs, però només vam estar un parell de dies. Les carreteres del gimnàs estaven inundades, així que aquells dies no podíem anar al gimnàs. Només vull dir que estic resant per tots els afectats pels huracans a Houston, Miami i Puerto Rico.”
Q. Què saps de Gausha i quin tipus de problemes presenta? Què has d'estar preparat per aconseguir la victòria?
“Gausha és una molt bona lluitadora. Sé que era olímpic i actualment està invicte com a professional. No hi ha res que faci que jo no hagi vist. Així, Només em mantindré al meu pla de joc i escoltaré el meu racó. Si em mantinc tranquil, podré fer l'actuació que estic buscant.”
Q. Què significa per a tu estar en una carta amb tots aquests campions de 154 lliures i els principals contendents?? Què important és fer una declaració a la resta de la divisió?
“És un gran honor, sobretot perquè estic a l'esdeveniment principal. Mostra que sóc el millor lluitador de la divisió. Aconseguir la victòria per tots els mitjans necessaris serà la meva declaració. Si tinc el nocaut, serà la cirereta del pastís com es diu aquí als EUA.”
Q. Quin creus que és el significat de ser el campió de 154 lliures amb més temps?? Si pots guanyar a l'octubre 14 quines baralles a la divisió vols fer en el futur?
“Significa molt. Tinc l'objectiu de batre el rècord, en mans de Gianfranco Ross, per a la majoria de les defenses del títol a 11. Però sempre estaré preparat per lluitar contra qualsevol que em posin davant. Vull grans reptes, així que m'encantaria lluitar amb GGG o Canelo, i també aprofitaria l'oportunitat d'unir-me contra Cotto o Hurd.”
TERRELL Gausha
(20-0, 9 KOs) De Cleveland, Ohio & Entrenant amb Manny Robles a Norwalk, Califòrnia
Q. Com ha anat el camp d'entrenament fins ara? Amb qui has estat lluitant i què han pogut fer per preparar-te per a la Lara? Heu provat alguna cosa nova en aquest camp d'entrenament??
“La capacitació ha estat gran. Hi hem estat durant 10 setmanalment. He estat lluitant amb bons companys, tot i que no puc pronunciar la majoria dels seus noms. Hem portat un medallista de bronze de la 2012 Jocs Olímpics, Chris Pearson i un gran lluitador nigerià també. Són hàbils defensivament i tan propers com podem trobar a l'estil de Lara. És difícil d'imitar, però estan a prop. Realment no estem fent res de nou, només treballant més rondes. He fet moltes rondes de 12 en sparring, però guardarem la resta dels nostres secrets per a la nit de lluita.”
Q. Què significa per a tu lluitar per un títol mundial per primera vegada? Hi ha una motivació addicional per veure els altres? 2012 Olímpics que han aconseguit títols?
“És una benedicció i un somni fet realitat. He estat treballant en això des que em vaig posar els guants per primera vegada. No tothom aconsegueix aquesta oportunitat i penso aprofitar-lo al màxim. Aquells nois de la 2012 Els Jocs Olímpics són els meus germans. Vam parlar d'aquestes coses als Jocs Olímpics. Després van sortir i em van mostrar que era possible. Vull ser el següent a recollir un títol per complir la meva promesa també.”
Q. Quin tipus de problemes presenta la Lara al ring? Com et prepares per al seu conjunt d'habilitats i què fa bé al ring?
“Fa temps que miro la Lara. Sé que és un motorista. Nois com aquest són astuts i és un bon contraatacador. És un veterà astut i ha lluitat contra molts nois de primer nivell. Però jo mateix tinc molta experiència. Estic invicte i és el meu moment.”
Q. Què significa per a tu formar part d'un tripleheader amb el màxim talent de la divisió?? Què important és aprofitar aquesta oportunitat i tenir el millor rendiment possible?
“Estar involucrat en això em permet saber on sóc. No qualsevol persona va tenir aquesta targeta. Ens hem guanyat el camí fins aquí i aquesta nit obrirà altres grans baralles a la divisió. No hi ha pressió per a mi, encara que. Vaig fer tot el treball dur al gimnàs. En la nit del combat, Només deixo que les coses flueixin.”

The fight will serve as the co-main event of the high stakes SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® tripleheader that is headlined by Erislandy Lara defending his title against undefeated Terrell Gausha.

 

Les entrades per a l'esdeveniment ja estan a la venda i comencen a les $50 (sense incloure càrrecs aplicables). Les entrades es poden comprar a ticketmaster.com, barclayscenter.com o trucant al 800-745-3000. Les entrades també es poden comprar a la taquilla d'American Express del Barclays Center. Descomptes per a grups estan disponibles trucant al 844-BKLYN-GP.

 

Here is what Erislandy Lara, Jermell Charlo and Jermall Charlo and had to say Divendres:

 

Erislandy Lara

 

“When they asked me if I was available to come to the Houston Food Bank to volunteer, I didn’t even hesitate. I was in. No matter how busy I am with training camp, I always have time to help for a good cause.

 

“Houston has suffered with Hurricane Harvey. I’ve seen the devastation. Coming to the Food Bank with my wife today is my little grain of sand to help a bigger cause. I come from Cuba, an island that it’s often battered by storms. I’ve seen people lose a lot to Mother Nature. I feel for them.

 

“I don’t think my preparation for this fight has been affected by what happened here in Houston [Hurricane Harvey]. I have endured so much in my life. I had to escape from my homeland to pursue my dream of becoming a professional boxer. I defied the odds and I became a world champion. I got here with hard work and discipline. Estic concentrat. Nothing distracts me.

 

“Gausha is a good fighter, but he doesn’t know what he signed up for. I’m not a brawler, Sóc un veritable lluitador– a technical boxer. I went toe-to-toe with some of the best fighters in the division. He’s in for treat.

 

Jermell Charlo

 

“I didn’t get a chance to really see my house [during Hurricane Harvey] because I’ve been gone. I’ve been in Dallas training with Errol Spence Jr. and my trainer Derrick James. My uncle wouldn’t tell me anything that’s going on in my gym. Everybody basically was like ‘don’t worry about what’s going on.’ I’m trying to keep my mind off of it. I’m back home, everything is good and that’s all that matters right now.

 

“Erickson Lubin is a crafty young fighter. He’s strong. He’s got some skills. He’s got pop. We’re just going to have to dog it out. Best man wins. Whoever’s in the best shape, whoever’s the strongest fighter, whoever lands the best punches is going to win the fight.

 

“I’m a vet. I’ve been in the game professionally ten years. I grew up in the amateurs. I’ve got the height, I’ve got the size, I’m stronger, I’m faster.

 

“I’ve fought three southpaws. I’ve knocked them all out. I’ve knocked every southpaw I’ve fought out.

 

“Errol Spence Jr. is the perfect sparring partner. He’s been one of the best sparring partners that I’ve had even when I’m fighting right-handers because of his dominance. He’s very strong, he’s fast and he’s punching.

 

“I’ve got Houston on my back right now – me and my twin brother. If there were more fighters in Houston, we would be a bigger team. We do what we can to try to get boxing back into this city.

 

“Why not get a big fight? he lluitat 29 baralles. I’ve fought a lot of prospects. My career has been built up. I beat Olympians. What else do you want me to do? Now it’s time to beat the [Miguel] Cottos and the Canelos [Alvarez] and the Triple G’s [Gennady Golovkin] and whoever else we’ve got to jump in the ring with.

 

“I’m satisfied with [entrenador] Derrick James. I actually like the fact that I have to leave to go to a different city to train because I can focus over there. I’m sitting in a home where I just train. I wake up, eat protein, back to training again and then rest. My focus is there.”

 

Charlo JERMALL

“I told my brother that this fight is equivalent to when I fought J-Rock [Julian Williams]. A lot of people are going to doubt him but at the end of the day they’re going to be in his corner cheering him on for the victory.

 

“I told Jermell to continue to work hard and keep striving because it’s going to build our legacy to that next level. It’s going to put us where we need to be to get the best opponents and the biggest fights.

 

“I’m in camp with Ronnie Shields. We’re getting in shape. I’ve been training so I’m just waiting on the next date, the next fight. We’ll see what happens.”

Això és el que els participants en la conferència de premsa havien de dir Dimecres:
Erislandy Lara
“M'agrada parlar al ring. En Octubre 14 això és exactament el que faré. És un honor ser cap de cartell a SHOWTIME i esperem una gran lluita.
“Estic emocionat de formar part d'aquesta gran carta. Aquest és un gran esdeveniment. Aquests són els millors nois de la divisió. És un plaer ser l'acte principal i tinc ganes de fer un espectacle.
“Gausha és un bon lluitador. És un olímpic i un noi que vol guanyar i convertir-se en campió del món. Sé el que se sent, però també sé què cal. Veurem com es juga Octubre 14.
“Estic emocionat per aquesta baralla. He guanyat campions, antics campions i ara afegiré un olímpic. Després de fer-me càrrec dels negocis, espero unificar la divisió.
“Les meves oracions i els meus pensaments estan amb tothom a Houston. Tinc familiars i amics afectats. És una situació trista, però Houston ha de ser fort. Per això tindré 'Houston Strong’ al meu tronc perquè tots hem d'estar units i unir-nos. Així ho farem.”
TERRELL Gausha
“Estava molt emocionat de rebre la trucada per a aquesta lluita. He estat treballant per això tota la meva carrera i és una gran oportunitat. La Lara és considerada la millor de la divisió i jo vull lluitar contra la millor. Ara és el meu moment.
“Hauré de fer ajustos allà dins. Evidentment amb la Lara t'has de tallar l'anell. Tenim un pla de joc que hi aniré i executaré Octubre 14.
“Estic lluitant contra un competidor dur. Ell és astut. Tots sabem que té habilitats. Però m'he preparat per a això i faré el que he de fer. M'agrada parlar al ring i ho deixaré tot en joc la nit de lluita.
“Ara sóc un lluitador més madur. Sóc un autèntic professional. He passat per algunes coses a la meva carrera que m'han ajudat a liderar aquesta lluita. Estic ben preparat i preparat per a la prova.
“Estic entrenant amb el meu entrenador Manny Robles a Norwalk, Califòrnia i ha anat molt bé. Estem afegint algunes coses per a aquesta lluita, però sobretot fent el mateix treball dur que fem sempre.
“Estic beneït d'estar en aquesta posició. Sento que tot el meu esforç està donant els seus fruits ara que estic en una gran carta com aquesta. He treballat molt i em mereixo aquesta oportunitat.”
Jermell Charlo
“Estic honrat d'estar a Brooklyn. Aquesta és una altra carta de lluita emocionant com l'última carta on vaig estar aquí. Vaig fer el que havia de fer a l'abril. Vaig deixar que l'adversari se li fes la boca i després vaig tenir cura d'ell. Deixaré que això torni a passar.
“He de aprofitar aquesta oportunitat. Sé que tinc molts avantatges, però només cal anar aprofitant el moment. És un dur, lluitador fort que estarà preparat per prendre el meu títol.
“És interessant veure un noi tan jove com és vingut per un títol mundial. Fa temps que estic aquí en el joc professional. És un gran escenari per a tots dos. He lluitat amb molts nois durs fins aquest punt. Això és el que m'he estat preparant.
“Vull lluitar contra Jarrett Hurd després d'això. També m'agradaria tenir l'oportunitat d'unir-me contra Miguel Cotto. Vull mostrar a la vella guàrdia que els bessons Charlo són tan bons com qualsevol.
“Vaig tenir les mans plenes amb Ericskon Lubin i sé que ve a lluitar. És un gos, però jo també sóc un animal. Vaig a donar un pas endavant i faré el que he fet cada vegada abans.
“Ho faig per Houston. Houston està passant per moltes coses. Els meus amics i familiars estan tots afectats. Realment no em sembla real. Estic disposat a ajudar com pugui.”
ERICKSON LUBIN
“Aquesta és la lluita que vaig demanar. Vaig dir que volia seguir la ruta del CMB i quan es va anunciar oficialment estava molt emocionat. He estat entrenant per a això des de la meva última lluita. Ara estic encara més motivat per anar a buscar el cinturó.
“He estat lluitant amb nois més grans. Nois que llencen combos d'un-dos com Jermell. M'estic preparant mentalment i físicament per a aquesta lluita.
“Jermell té una mica de poder. Es mou força bé, però estaré preparat per a tot. Tant si em pressiona com si em boxa, estaré preparat.
“Em ric de la gent que diu que això és massa aviat per a mi. Mike Tyson ho era 19 quan s'atrevia a ser gran. Aquest és el moment perfecte per demostrar que no sóc un jove normal de 21 anys.
“Aquesta és una targeta apilada que tenim aquí i estic preparat per mostrar el meu talent. Vull demostrar que sóc el millor d'aquesta divisió. Crec que estem recuperant l'era de tots els lluitadors que hi sortien i ho donem tot cada vegada que entren al ring.. Sempre em robo l'espectacle i tinc previst fer-ho Octubre 14.”
Jarrett Hurd
“Significa tot estar defensant el meu cinturó en una carta com aquesta. Vaig lluitar aquí al Barclays Center al Keith Thurman vs. Shawn Porter, així que tornar aquí contra un veterà a Austin Trout és genial. No puc esperar per fer un espectacle.
“Tindrem dos autobusos d'aficionats fins aquí. El 'Swift’ els aficionats seran a la casa. Serà un gran ambient la nit de lluita.
“En el meu últim combat, Tony Harrison va guanyar algunes rondes inicials en boxejar-me, així que hem sabut que el meu proper oponent intentarà enviar-me a la caixa. Esperem que es mogui i faci servir l'anell contra mi.
“Aquest ha estat un llarg camp d'entrenament. Fa temps que tenim aquest combat programat. Estem més que preparats.
“Hem estat entrenant per atrapar una "truita".’ Posarem l'esquer allà fora i el deixarem entrar. Si no agafa l'esquer, entrarem a l'aigua i el traurem d'allà.
“Vaig a mantenir la pressió sobre ell. Estic planejant atacar el cos i assegurar-me de tallar l'anell. Ell estarà en moviment, així que he d'estar preparat.
“Els meus fans poden esperar una parada Octubre 14. Té tres derrotes contra grans rivals, però cap ha estat capaç d'aturar-lo. Vaig a separar-me sent el primer a fer-ho.”
TRUITA AUSTIN
“Això em tornarà al lloc on pertanyo. De nou a dalt. Això és pel meu llegat, així que és de la màxima importància.
“És un honor estar en una carta com aquesta. Estic afortunat de formar part d'aquesta gran formació de lluitadors. Aquest lloc és el nou punt calent de la boxa i no puc esperar per actuar.
“Hurd és alt, és un noi gran que crec que es presentarà. Ens estem preparant per al millor Hurd possible que hi pugui haver.
“Estic preparat per portar la meva carrera a un nivell completament nou. He estat en grans baralles, però cap com aquesta. Hi ha molt de joc en aquesta lluita. Ell vol fer-se un nom amb el meu nom.
“No va haver d'assumir aquesta lluita i estic content que ho hagi fet. Però va fer malbé. Deixo l'anell amb el seu cinturó i el seu ‘0.’ Vull reivindicar la meva reivindicació com el millor de la divisió.
“Torno a casa com a campió del món. Seré un doble campió del món que unificarà aquesta divisió. Vaig a aixecar la mà al final de la nit.”
Lou DiBella, El president de DiBella Entertainment
“Aquest serà un espectacle sensacional. Si ets un fan de la boxa, aquest serà un espectacle increïble. Aportarà una mica de claredat a la divisió amb sis nois talentosos coincidint. És una lluita d'aficionats a la boxa i té un preu així.
“El que necessita la boxa són els millors enfrontaments. La boxa necessita espectacles com aquest. Aquest és el tipus d'espectacles que SHOWTIME ha estat mostrant durant els darrers anys. No hi ha dubte que són la xarxa número u de la boxa.
“Aquesta targeta tracta d'esbrinar qui serà l'últim home de peu a la divisió de 154 lliures. Comença Octubre 14 i tot anirà a SHOWTIME.”
STEPHEN ESPINOZA, VP executiu & Gerent General, SHOWTIME Sports
“La setmana passada vam tenir l'atenció del món per un esdeveniment sense precedents a Mayweather vs. McGregor. El que ha de fer aquest esport per continuar expandint-se és seguir-ho amb enfrontaments de boxa d'alta qualitat. Per això aquesta targeta és tan important. Va ser fonamental que tinguéssim una targeta d'alta qualitat de dalt a baix per capturar aquelles persones que van començar a prestar atenció a la boxa l'agost.. 26.
“Durant els darrers dos anys, SHOWTIME juntament amb Barclays Center i DiBella Entertainment han portat als fans les baralles més grans i millors de la boxa. Aquesta pot ser la targeta de màxima qualitat de dalt a baix des que vam començar a treballar amb Barclays Center.
“Aquest triple header serà el 18º, 19º i 20º lluites pel títol mundial aquest any a SHOWTIME. Més que ningú. Lluites més importants i significatives que ningú. Aquesta és una divisió rica en talent que hem estat mostrant durant anys.
“Mai he tingut cap dubte sobre el futur de la boxa. La boxa és molt saludable. Tot el que heu de fer és mirar aquests sis lluitadors en el seu millor moment, assumint la màxima competència. Sé que aquest esport té molt bona salut.”
BRETT Yormark, CEO de Brooklyn Sports & Entreteniment
“Ha estat un any increïble per a BROOKLYN BOXING. Probablement el millor des que vam obrir Barclays Center. A l'octubre, 28, celebrarem el nostre cinquè aniversari. Estem molt compromesos amb la boxa, no només mostrant el millor i més brillant talent, sinó utilitzar-lo com a plataforma per a aquells que aspiren a entrar en aquest anell. Estem compromesos amb el seu futur.
“Hi ha molts campionats en joc que haurien de fer que sigui una gran nit. Totes aquestes baralles prometen portar acció als nostres grans fans. Esperem veure'ls a tothom 14º.”

We are thrilled to continue our best year yet of BROOKLYN BOXING with our fifth major boxing event of 2017,” va dir Brett Yormark, CEO de Brooklyn Sports & Entreteniment. “We always aim to deliver fight fans an evening packed with top-notch matchups from start to finish, and this card certainly does that.
Lara, a 34-year-old Cuban southpaw, owns victories over Trout, Alfredo Angulo and a slew of former champions and top contenders in addition to a controversial split decision loss to Canelo Alvarez on the way to cementing his credentials as the top boxer in the division. Lara will make the seventh defense of his world title as he continues to train with renowned trainer Ronnie Shields.
I’m very excited to be making another title defense back on SHOWTIME headlining a great tripleheader,” Said Lara. “This is an interesting fight versus an undefeated U.S. Olympian in Terrell Gausha. I know he will be ready because it’s his opportunity to beat the best fighter in the division and become a champion. But come fight night, he will quickly realize and know why I’m the consensus No. 1 super welterweight in the world. After this performance, I look forward to, one-by-one, adding a WBC and IBF title to my collection.
The 29-year-old Gausha, de Cleveland, Ohio, earned a shot at the world title with solid victories in his last two matches. He won a hard-fought decision over Steven Martinez last August and followed it up with another impressive victory over Luis Hernandez on Febrer. 10. Lara figures to be his toughest battle in his pro career that dates back to 2012.
I’ve been talking about this since I was a three-year-old watching Muhammad Ali on television,” va dir Gausha. “I’m here now and blessed for this opportunity. Lara’s a tough fighter, champion and the best opponent I’ll fight on paper. He’s been in with the bigger names. But the better the opponent, the better I am, and I’m coming to dethrone him. Ell és astut, but the world hasn’t seen all that I can bring to the table. I’ll make adjustments on the fly and do things that I’ve never shown before. Seeing other Olympic team members win titles gives me motivation to earn the victory and the notoriety I’ve been looking for.
Charlo of Houston, Texas will be making the second defense of his title, which he won by knockout victory over John Jackson on May 21, 2016. The 27-year-old Charlo successfully defended the title with a highlight reel knockout victory over fellow Texan Charles Hatley onAbril 22 Barclays Center. He and his twin brother, Jermall, both held world titles at 154-pounds, before Jermall relinquished his title to move up to 160 lliura. Charlo now trains in Dallas with Derrick James, trainer of world champion Errol Spence Jr.
Lubin is young and hungry and I know he always comes to fight, but there’s a reason why I’m where I am in the sport,” Said Charlo. “I’ve been through the trenches and I don’t plan to stop anytime soon. This is what boxing always needstwo young, undefeated fighters willing to risk their ‘0’. But I think it’s a little early for Lubin to step in the ring with me, and I plan on keeping my title. Octubre 14 I’ll show everyone why I’m a world champion.
Lubin, 21, is nicknamed “El Martell” because of his power in both hands and his ability to bring a quick conclusion to every match. Lubin of Orlando, Fla., has picked up 10 victories since the beginning of 2015 including seven knockouts on his way to contender status. Lubin most recently scored a sensational knockout of Jorge Cota in a title eliminator in March at Barclays Center.
This is a fight for the fans,” va dir en Lubin. “You have an undefeated champion against an undefeated Prospect of the Year. I’m very excited to be fighting for the belt and it’s truly been a dream of mine ever since I first got into boxing. Come fight night, Charlo will either give it to me or I’m going to rip the belt out of his hands. Many fans and reporters have said that he’s one of the best, and that will make it even sweeter. My mentality will be to seek and destroy, so everyone tune-in to SHOWTIME on Octubre 14, you will witness boxing’s new superstar!”
Hurd, 26, will be making the first defense of the title that he won with a KO victory over Tony Harrison on Febrer. 25. Lluitant fora de ACCOKEEK, Maryland, Hurd soared up the rankings with stoppage victories over previously unbeaten fighters Frank Galarza and Oscar Molina at Barclays Center plus veteran Jo Jo Dan.
I got a Trout to catch,” Said Hurd. “His losses have all been to top champions Canelo Alvarez, Erislandy Lara and Jermall Charlo. But I’m on a streak of six straight knockouts and Trout has never been stopped, so I’m looking for the stoppage to make a statement that the other fighters couldn’t make. This is definitely my toughest fight, and I didn’t have to take it since it’s a voluntary defense. But I wanted this fight to stop Austin Trout, proving to the fans and people in general I’m the real deal and a true champion.
Truita, a 31-year-old southpaw from Las Cruces, Nou Mèxic, has faced some of the top 154-pound boxers in the division. He defeated Miguel Cotto in New York to win a title in 2012 and has close losses to Canelo Alvarez and Lara on his resume. In his most recent attempt at winning the title, Trout gave Jermall Charlo perhaps the toughest test of his career after looking impressive in four straight victories leading up to the challenge.
‘What a blessing it is to have this opportunity at a world title shot,” va dir Truita. “I want to thank everyone who has been in my corner to help get me career defining fights. It’s refreshing to see young champions showing heart and testing their skill with the best in the game. With thatsaid, salute to Hurd for allowing this fight to go through.

TOLEDO, Ohio (Febrer 10) – Gairebé 10,000 fans turned out for hometown hero Robert Pasqua (19-0, 14 KOs) as he impressively defended his lightweight world title against Puerto Rico’s Luis Cruz (22-5-1, 16 KOs) at the Huntington Center in Toledo, OH in the main event of Lliga de Campions de Boxa: La Ronda Següent en el comiat de TV. La 2012 Olympic alternate used his reach and power throughout the fight, knocking Cruz down three times en route to a unanimous decision victory.
Cruz’s best round came in the fifth as he turned up the action, giving Easter a pause more than once and pushed the champion toward the ropes. After that round, it was all Easter who threw flurries of punches, not always depending on his range, doing his best to pin Cruz back with powerful hooks and body shots. Easter wasn’t fazed by seeing the 10th round for the third time in his career as a big right hand sent Cruz to the canvas for the first knockdown of the fight. Cruz impressively rose to his feet, but Easter didn’t relent.
He continued his conquest and with 10 seconds to go in the 11th round, Cruz was saved by the bell after being knocked down again. Fighting to the finish, Easter gave the raucous crowd what they came for as he threw a big right hand that nearly ended the fight. Cruz did notably did not quit, but was no match for Easter as the judges scored the bout 119-106, 118-107, 117-108.
En l'esdeveniment co-principal, three-time U.S. Olímpic Rau'shee Warren (14-2, 4 KOs) came out strong from the opening bell as he utilized his hand speed and power by knocking Zhanat Zhakiyanov (27-1, 18 KOs) of Kazakhstan not once, but twice. Cau, who was defending his bantamweight title for the first time, could not finish the fight in the first round despite throwing a flurry of unanswered punches following the two knockdowns. The tables started to turn in favor of Zhakiyanov in the third round as he threw several consecutive uppercuts, pressuring Warren against the ropes. He threw two right hooks that knocked Warren to the canvas, but referee Gary Rosato ruled it a slip.
Trained and promoted by former unified world champion Ricky Hatton, Zhakiyanov applied pressure throughout the middle rounds, wearing Warren down. But the Cincinnati-native seemed to have gotten a second wind to kick-off the eighth round as he turned up the heat with one minute to go. Zhakiyanov continued to put pressure on Warren and use his strength. The fight was action packed from start to finish, but it was the Kazakh who earned the split decision victory with scores of 116-110, 115-111 for Zhakiyanov and 115-111 Cau.
The telecast kicked off with a middleweight bout between Cleveland-native Terrell Gausha(20-0, 9 KOs)and Puerto Rico’s Luis Hernandez (15-4, 8 KOs). Gausha established his jab midway through the first round with three straight right hands to the face of Hernandez. No obstant això, it was Hernandez who surprised Gausha with a huge overhand right that floored the 2012 Olímpic. Gausha easily bounced back from the knock down and was able to get himself out of trouble and continued to show his power throughout.
Referee Jim Howe deducted a point from Hernandez after two low blows in the seventh round. Hernandez remained determined despite taking a lot of big shots, especially in the ninth round when Gausha was a few shots away from ending the fight. Al final, Gausha earned a unanimous decision with scores of 98-90 dues vegades i 97-91.
FIGHTER & PROMOTER QUOTES:
Robert Pasqua Jr:
It was very important for me to remain focused tonight but also have fun. My people came out in full force so I wanted to give them a show, a night to remember. I feel like I did that, even though I wish I could’ve given them the knockout.
I admit, I was very surprised that Luis Cruz could take my punches like that and finish the fight. When I had him down and hurt (a la ronda 10), I thought he was done. Jo li dono crèdit. He came a long way and showed a lot of heart.
I said before the fight and I’m going to keep saying itI’m here to collect all them belts. I’m not gonna pretend to be that guy who doesn’t call out other fights. I’m calling out Mikey Garcia, Jorge Linares and Terry Flanagan. I want them to see what we were able to do here tonight, the crowd I pulled in. I’m a superstar on the rise and now it’s time for me to collect my prizes and bring these fights and all of the belts home to Toledo.
Even in seeing my brother (Rau'shee Warren) lose a fight we all thought he won, I couldn’t let that distract what I had to do in the ring. I hated that Rau’Shee had to go through that againlosing in the Olympics three times, not getting his win in the first fight with Juan Carlos Payano, then not getting his belt for months after winning it, and now losing it like that. He’s had it rough, but we’re a team and we have to pick each other up. That became my mission to rise for the sake of the team.
Realistically I’d like to come back maybe May or June. It’s always hard work but I’m not cut or marked up. I want to stay active and get all the champions and best challengers out there. TBTThe Bunny Team is getting ready to take over.
Luis Cruz:
He’s a very strong fighter. I wanted to do more but he took away my energy late in the fight. The first knockdown took a lot of out me. I felt dizzy but it was important for me to finish the fight on my feet. I never stopped trying to win, but he a great champion and the best I’ve ever faced.
I’m going to return home (a Puerto Rico) and enjoy time with my family. I need to rest and relax. Després d'això, I’ll think about what’s next for my career.
Zhanat Zhakiyanov:
I knew at the end of the fight that I deserved to win, but because of where we were, we weren’t sure if the judges would give it to us. So that surprised us, but not that I won the fight. I was hurt early, but I outworked him in almost every round after that and was the stronger fighter in the end.
The knockdowns shocked me, però (trainer and promoter, former two-division world champion) Ricky Hatton kept me level-headed, telling me the adjustments I had to make. Once I was able to get inside and force the action, I saw (Warren’s) energy level drop.
We are grateful that he gave us the opportunity to fight for the world title. It’s an amazing feeling to win that belt. He feels like he won the fight and wants the rematch. We can definitely talk about doing that. I’ve fought everywhere in the world and don’t back down from any challenge.
Ricky Hatton:
We were surprised when Zhanat went down like that in the beginning of the fight. I just wanted to remind him what he does better and what Rau’Shee is good at. He is never going to outbox him; he had to get in his chest, he had to mug him and make it a brawl. Zhanat did that very well and that’s how he won the fight.
If we lost the fight, we would have been upset, but we’d know it wouldn’t have been a bad decision. I know that Warren is gutted, he feels like he won the fight and let’s be honestit was the type of fight where no matter who won, the loser would have felt like he deserved to have his hand raised.
Their styles make for a great fight. Why not do it again? Not just because it was close but because it was such a great action fight and it always will be.
Rau'shee Warren:
“Home, Vaig guanyar aquesta lluita. El vaig fer caure, I was landing the cleaner punches and making him miss. What it is, the judges are favoring aggressive fighters, even when they ain’t even landing.
I went through the same thing with (Joan Carles) Payano, losing the first fight that I should’ve won and then getting the decision in the rematch. So now I have to prove to these judges the second time what I should’ve got tonight. Of course I want that rematch. I want it next, I want my world titles back.
Obviously you can always do more. We’re gonna go back, look at what we could’ve done differently and make sure the judges don’t take it from me no more.
Terrell Gausha:
The knockdown was legitimate, but that was (Hernandez’) only good moment in the fight. He caught me clean, but it happened to me before (versus William Waters earlier in his career). Just like I did back then, I immediately adjusted and controlled the rest of the fight.
It felt good to get so much from the fans in Toledo and all my fans that came from Cleveland (Gausha’s hometown). It was a great night out here and I’d love to do it again whenever they’re ready to bring us back here or even in my hometown.
I’m ready to return whenever my team says the next opportunity is there for me. Hopefully it’s as soon as possible. This is going to be a big year for me.
Luis Hernández:
I had him hurt but I didn’t finish him. I didn’t throw enough punches to slow him down after I knocked him down. He deserved to win; I could have done better and will do better in the future. I hope PBC brings me back soon as I want to show I belong with the best.
Adrien Broner:
It was a great turnout tonight. This was the first big promotion for About Billions; it definitely won’t be the last. We got my fight next week in Cincinnati and we gonna keep coming back strong.
Ravone Littlejohn, CEO of About Bilions Promotions:
It was a bittersweet night for us, with Robert Easter looking like a superstar but then with Rau’Shee Warren not getting the victory. We wanted the win in both fights for the fans, but the judges saw what they saw in Rau’Shee’s fight.
The crowd exceeded our expectations. We knew it would be a big turnout but when they opened up the entire venue and we saw nearly all the seats filled, it was a special feeling. Now we get to roll this over to Adrien’s fight next week and look forward to keep bringing big events to Ohio.

Això és el que els combatents havien de dir Dimecres:
Robert Easter
“Com tothom sap, I don’t like doing too much talking. I like to do my talking in the ring with these hands. Febrer 10 is going to be an exciting night with a tremendous undercard filled with local talent.
These guys up here and on this card are people I’ve grown up with. It means a lot for me to share the stage with them. I’m excited for them.
I’m so grateful for all of the support I’ve received from fans here in Toledo. You keep me going forward and you keep me motivated.
My dad and I have come a long way. It’s been a long road and we’re finally here, sobre. I couldn’t have done this without him.
Toledo has been showing up like crazy for my last two fights so it’s got me feeling very comfortable and confident.
I have a very tough fighter in front of me. Cruz is going to come to fight and put on a show, but I’m prepared to deliver a knockout.
I can’t wait to get into the ring for this fight. This is something I’ve been waiting on for years. I’m a world champion just like I knew I always would be.
Having Adrien Broner here means a lot. He is a big brother to me. He showed me the ropes and he’s somebody I always looked up to.
Being able to bring this title back home to Toledo is really exciting. I hope you all are as excited as I am, because on Febrer 10 you’re going to see fireworks. It’s going to be short.
LUIS CRUZ
I’m very thankful to everyone who helped me earn this opportunity. I’ve been training really hard and I’m planning on taking full advantage of this.
I hope that all the people who come out el divendres are ready to see a great fight. Ho deixaré tot al ring.
I know that everything is up against me going to his hometown, but it is my dream to fight for a world title and I will give it everything I have.
Rau'shee WARREN
“Aquesta és una lluita molt important per a mi. I’m a world champion but I have a lot more work to do. I’m looking to grab more titles.
My first obstacle is taking care of this mandatory. After I get him out of the way I’ll be ready put my titles up against other champions.
I have to be sharp in this fight. I have to stick with my game plan because this guy is coming to take my title.
My opponent is a pressure fighter. He’s trying to come forward. With the abilities that I have, I’m going to try to make it look easy.
Adrien Broner, Former-Four Division World Champion
I have on my promoter hat today for my first major card and I’m really excited about it. Being able to promote a card like this with two world championship fights is amazing, especially because of the fighters on this card.
These fighters are guys that I’ve been in the gym sacrificing with. These guys came from water and cornflakes just like I did. It’s going to be a real surreal moment seeing them up in that ring.
I could tell stories about me, Robert and Rau’shee all day. Now we’re all on the same stage as champions, representing this sport. I’m excited to give the fans of Toledo a great show.
