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. Men, 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:
This is a very important fight for me. 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.
On training camp:
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.
Maj 21 kort:
It’s great to be fighting on this card, especially when there is so much on the line while I defend my title. Desuden, 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 afterMaj 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

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 Lørdag, Maj 21 when he meets IBF Junior Middleweight world champion Jermall Charlo in a 12-round match live on SHOWTIME (10 p.m. OG/7 p.m. PT) fra Chelsea, a one-of-a-kind 40,000-square-foot venue inside The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.

 

“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.”

 

Billetter til live event, som fremmes af Mayweather Promotions og TGB Kampagner, er der tilbud nu. Billetpriser starter ved $39, og er tilgængelige online på www.cosmopolitanlasvegas.com or through Ticketmaster at (800) 745-3000og 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 Maj 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. Som jeg sagde, no half-stepping. I’m already sparring, doing the work, getting right. I’m not walking through it but running and trotting through it. Jeg er 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.

"Men, 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 ready to make history.
I’m extremely excited and grateful for the opportunity to fight for the world title on Maj 21,” sagde Ørred. “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, men at vinde. I’m going to show up and show out and this world title.
“Dette er en enorm kamp for mig,” 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,” Said Jackson. “I’ve been training very hard for the last two months for this fight and come Maj 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.

Jeg sandsynligvis brugt mere tid på (styrke & condition) end boksning i løbet af min tid ud. Jeg er kendt som en slick bokser, men jeg ønskede at få en stærk, så jeg ikke behøver at gå 12 runder medmindre jeg har brug for at. Jeg følte sig mere magt i lejren, sparring og rammer posen, og det viste Lørdag nat.”
På trods af hans relativt lang pause fra ringen, Andrade er stadig en verdensklasse fighter, og han endelig fik en chance for at minde fans af, at denne fortid Lørdag. “Jeg ville vise alle, hvorfor jeg så undgået,” den 2008 US. Olympian kommenterede, “og til at afgive en erklæring, at jeg er den bedste i 154-pund division. Jeg er kommet for at blive! Jeg ønskede alle at se, hvad en stor mester handler om, performance-wise, kommer tilbage fra den situation, jeg var i. Jeg ønsker blot at holde travlt og kæmpe det bedste. Vi regne ud, hvad der kommer til at være næste.”
“Snart,” Farris konkluderede, “resten af ​​boksning verden vil vide, at Demetrios Andrade er den bedste super weltervægt i verden. Til sidst, han vil være den bedste mellemvægt samt. Tro mig, Demetrius vil have et definerende kamp med GGG (Gennady Golovkin) og så vil vi se, hvem det bedste egentlig er.”

Demetrius Andrade Files appel med WBO

PROVIDENCE (August 13, 2015) – Undefeated junior mellemvægt Demetrius “Boo Boo” Andrade (21-0, 14 KOS) har indgivet en klage vedrørende den nylige beslutning om World Boxing Organization (WBO) at fratage ham hans WBO verden junior mellemvægt mesterskabet. I brevet til WBO præsident Francisco Valcarcel, Andrade hævdede WBO undladt at tilbyde ham en obligatorisk modstander i løbet af de seneste syv måneder ham at forsvare sin titel mod.
Andrade appel nævner også, at WBO sendt et brev til ham i januar 23, 2015, der erklærede, at WBO ville tvinge en pung bud mellem WBO Nej. 1 Challenger Jermell Charlo og Andrade, hvis kampen aftalen ikke blev løst inden for (30) dage. Men, WBO ikke tvinge pung bud, tillader Charlo at underskrive en aftale om at bekæmpe Vanerne Martirosyan, næsten 30 dage efter Andrade havde underskrevet sin kontrakt til at kæmpe Charlo.
En kopi af den førnævnte kamp kontrakt, som Andrade underskrev i januar 14, 2015 at kæmpe Charlo for $300,000, blev også inkluderet som beviser til støtte Andrade påstand. Andrade erklærede, at den underskrevne kontrakt beviser, at det var, faktisk, Charlo team, ikke Andrade, der trak sig ud af kampen.
Andrade anmodede WBO at tillade ham at kæmpe nogen ved at sige, “Vi respektfuldt anmode om, at WBO tillade Demetrius Andrade at forsvare WBO Jr. Mellemvægt titel mod en af ​​de top 15 modstandere. Kun WBO har evnen til at tvinge en af ​​deres godkendte udfordrere for at bekæmpe ham. Vi beder respektfuldt WBO VM-udvalg til at bruge deres magt til at tvinge en top 15 fighter at bekæmpe ham på din snarest muligt bekvemmelighed. Vi ville være mere end villig til at tillade en kamp at forekomme efter reglerne i en pung bud, Hvis det er nødvendigt. Brug venligst din magt og myndighed til at træde til og tvinge en obligatorisk kamp for at gøre det muligt for Demetrius Andrade at forsvare sin titel i bokseringen, hvor det skal besluttes, og du har vores ord, at vi vil ære den WBO ved at acceptere at bekæmpe nogen godkendt af WBO før September 30, 2015.”
Team Andrade yderligere udtryk for sin vilje til at forsvare sin WBO titel ved at acceptere at gå oversøiske og kæmpe en WBO godkendt modstander for mindre end $150,000 at, desværre, var de stadig forgæves på at sikre en kamp.
Endvidere, Andrade hævdede, at WBO nylig informerede ham om sin hensigt til at fjerne ham fra sin top 15 placeringer i alt, endnu, WBO fortsætter med at bedømme Saul “Canelo” Alvarez som WBO verden Jr. Mellemvægt Ingen. 1 contender, selvom Alvarez ikke har kæmpet som en Jr. Mellemvægt siden september. 14, 2013, ni måneder tidligere end Andrade titel forsvar. Team Andrade anmodede om, at WBO VM Udvalg tillader Andrade samme mulighed for at forsvare sin placering.

LAS VEGAS (Marts 28, 2015) - Efter kommer tæt på VM herlighed i 2014,

Gary Russell Jr. (26-1, 15 KOS), en tidligere USA amatør standout, leveret på sit løfte i imponerende mode Lørdag nat, knocking out defending champion Jhonny Gonzalez (57-9, 48 KOS), af Mexico City, i fjerde runde i de vigtigste tilfælde af en SHOWTIME Championship Boxing doubleheader fremmes af DiBella EntertainmentThe Pearl Theater at Palms Casino Resort.

 

I co-funktionen på SHOWTIME®, ubesejret Jermell "Iron Man" Charlo (26-0, 11 KOS) af Houston, vandt en tæt, enstemmig 10-round afgørelse i løbet af Vanerne Martirosyan(35-2-1, 21 KOS), af Glendale, Calif., i et sammenstød mellem top-fem klassificeret super welterweights. Der var ingen knockdowns i en kamp scoret 97-93 og 96-94 to gange.

 

Den talentfulde og quick-fisted southpaw Russell, der stod og udveksles med Gonzalez, udnyttede sin samlede hastighed at dominere. Han droppede veteran tre gange, gang i den tredje og to gange i fjerde før dommeren Tony Weeks viftede kampen 37 sekunder inde i runde (at se knockout klik HER).

 

"Det er den slags præstationer, jeg altid forvente, men ikke altid får,'' Sagde Russell, der mistede en nær 12-round beslutning om at Vasyl Lomachenko i hans første forsøg på 126-pund krone sidste Juni 21 på SHOWTIME. "Hvis folk bare vidste, hvor hårdt vi arbejdede for dette, den tid, vi sætter i gymnastiksalen, de mentale og fysiske ting, vi arbejder på, og sætte os igennem hver dag.

 

"Der er altid forhindringer at overvinde, men for denne kamp var jeg 100 procent. Denne gevinst er for alle de mennesker, der har været med mig fra begyndelsen. ''

 

Russell strategi var at fjerne Gonzalez 'besungne venstre hook, og han henrettet planen til nær perfektion.

 

"Vi var aldrig i dette at gøre det til et spor mødes,'' Russell sagde. "Vi skulle stå lige i lommen. Vi ved, hvad Gonzalez kan lide at gøre, og det er smide den brede venstre hook. Jeg forsøgte at lokke ham til at smide det, og han gjorde.

 

"Ærligt, Jeg tror ikke, han kom fra den første knockdown. ''

 

Gonzalez, en to-tiden WBC fjerlette verdensmester - og en veteran fra 16 verdens mesterskabet fights - vandt titlen for første gang i april 2011 og gjorde fire succesfulde titel forsvar før miste det i september 2012. Han genvandt titlen på en chokerende første runde knockout løbet Abner Mares i august 2013 på SHOWTIME, og havde gjort to mere succesfulde titel forsvar, før det faldt til Russell.

 

Gonzalez tilbød ingen undskyldninger før hurtigt afslutter ringen.

 

"Jeg er OK,'' Sagde han. "Jeg havde ikke forventet denne form for kamp overhovedet. Vi forventede ham til at løbe rundt i ringen med mig jagter. Men det gjorde han ikke. ''

 

I co-feature, Charlo tavshed kritikerne af hans CV ved at besejre sin hårdeste modstander til dato.

Han var overrasket over den måde, hans kamp med Martirosyan udspillet. "Jeg absolut forventet en langt grovere kamp,'' Sagde han. "Det var nemt i forhold til hvad jeg troede, vi var i for.

"Jeg kæmpede smart og da jeg fik at vide, at samle den op, Jeg vidste, hvad klokken var, så jeg gjorde. Jeg er helt klar til et skud på en verden titel. ''

Martirosyan, der blev skåret over venstre øje fra en tilfældig headbutt i ottende runde, var synligt skuffet over resultatet.

"Jeg positivt føler 100 procent, at jeg vandt den kamp,'' Sagde han. "Jeg var den angribende og tvang handling. Alt han blev kørt. Jeg landede renere slag. Jeg følte definitivt Jeg vandt den sidste runde.

"Jeg var bedøves ved headbutt [der resulterede i kampen bliver stoppet, mens han og ringside læge diskuterede snittet]. Sikker mit venstre øje generet mig efter det, og det var sløret. Men det er ingen undskyldning.

"Jeg følte, jeg såre ham. Han sårede mig ikke en eneste gang. Jeg forstår virkelig ikke denne beslutning. ""

Tidligere Lørdag, på SHOWTIME BOKSNING INTERNATIONAL, ubesejret IBF weltervægt mester Kell Brook (34-0, 23 KOS) overvældet obligatoriske udfordrer Jo Jo Dan (34-3, 18 KOS), droppe de rumænske baserede canadiske fire gange, før den ensidige beatdown blev klogt stoppet efter fjerde runde på Motorpoint Arena i Sheffield, England.

 

Brook, af Sheffield, var at gøre den første forsvar af weltervægt titel han tog fra tidligere ubesejret Shawn Porter sidste August på SHOWTIME og kæmper for første gang siden at lide en alvorlig skade, da han blev stukket i låret under en ferie på øen Tenerife i september sidste år.

 

Den spændende weltervægt viste ingen skadelige virkninger fra fritstille i en følelsesmæssig tilbagevenden til ringen, registrering to knockdowns i anden runde, og to mere i den fjerde, med den endelige knockdown kommer på afsluttende klokke. Dan har lidt den første knockout nederlag af hans karriere (at se knockout klik HER).

 

"Jeg er tilbage, Baby!"Sagde Brook, hvis ødelæggende præstation mod den normalt holdbar Dan elektrificeret de hjemby fans og samtidig bane vejen for en større opgør i fremtiden.

 

"Det var virkelig fantastisk at gå ud foran alle mine fans. Jeg troede ikke, jeg nogensinde ville gå igen, much less box again. Her er jeg fylde arenaer. Jeg kan ikke sætte i ord, hvor meget det betyder at være tilbage og forsvare en verden titel. Det betyder alt for mig.

 

"Det var svært der holder det sammen. Men det er her jeg hører. Benet føles fint. Benet føles lige så godt som det andet ben. Der er ingen problemer med benet.

 

"Hvis du ser Amir Khan, derefter komme her med mig. Jeg ved, du er sart omkring whiskers. Jeg tager dig ud. ''
