I’ve been the [под] кучета и е в с акулите преди. И аз плувах с тях. "Не мисля, че той е готов за това, което доведе до масата. Той не е бил с някой като мен. "Той ще се опита да излезе и да тормози мен, но това няма да се случи. "Отнема труден човек, за да отидете в този пръстен. Всичко може да се случи. В края на деня, то се свежда до който я иска повече. "Готов съм за 10 лентяй. Аз търсех за един за известно време. "Без значение колко видео гледаме, никой не знае какво ще се случи в пръстена.

"Аз знам какво мога да направя. I спаринг с момчета, които са елитни бойци -Ламонт Питърсън, Antoine Douglas, Dominic Wade, Остин Траут, Джери Одъм.

"Не съжалявам, не се биете много в аматьорите. Щастлив съм, аз се обърнах към про 16. Аз трябваше да се премести в Мексико, за да го направя, но това беше правилният ход за кариерата ми. Фелипе Romero "Това е най-доброто за мен тегло. Аз съм естествена светлина в тежка категория. "Аз съм на работа с нов треньор и ние сме работили по някои нови неща. Аз съм фокусиран изцяло върху борбата с времето. "Знам, че е добра, той е силен, той е млад, но той се бори момчета, които не са много добри. Той не се е сблъсквал всеки с моя опит. Аз бях изправен пред по-строги момчета и аз идвам да го победи. "Аз трябва да бъде умен и да използва моя опит. He hasn’t fought many rounds so we’re going to push him. He’s not going to knock me out. "Аз бях борил цял свят. Борба като аутсайдер не е нищо ново за мен.

Tag Archives: Jessie Nicklow JARRETT HURD KNOCKS OUT FRANK GALARZA IN MATCHUP OF UNDEFEATED SUPER WELTERWEIGHT PROSPECTS IN MAIN EVENT OFSHOBOX: THE NEW GENERATION ON SHOWTIME® Sergiy Derevyanchenko & David Benavidez Shine With Quick Knockouts At Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas Click HERE To Download Photos Photo Credit: Stephanie Trapp/SHOWTIME LAS VEGAS (Nov. 14, 2015) – Undefeated super welterweight prospectJarrett Hurd handed Frank Galarza the first loss of his career with a sixth round TKO in the main event of ShoBox: The New Generationon Saturday from The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas. Galarza (17-1-2, 11 KOs), who was fighting for his fourth time onShoBox and favored against the relatively unknown Hurd, became the 136th fighter to suffer his first loss on the prospect developmental series. VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS: http://s.sho.com/1NTILdM Hurd (17-0, 11 KOs) was the sharper, more accurate fighter from the opening bell against the largely stationary Galarza. Hurd floored Galarza with a huge right uppercut –his favorite weapon– with less than 30 seconds left in the fourth, knocking “The Brooklyn Rocky” down for the first time in his career. Galarza made it to the bell, but was clearly hurt and never recovered. Hurd, of Accokeek, Md., blasted Galarza with another big uppercut in the sixth, forcing a clearly finished Galarza to turn his body away in defeat. Referee Russell Mora had seen enough and stepped in to stop the bout at :59. “I knew he was an experienced, tough fighter, but I stuck to my game plan, listened to my corner and came out victorious,” Hurd said. “Once I was able to set up my counter shots, I knew I could hurt him. “This was my first time on national TV and I knew how important it was to be successful. I’d like to fight again soon, hopefully early in 2016. I’m ready to take my next step.” Galarza promised to be back after the crushing defeat. “I tip my hat off to Hurd, he was the better man tonight,” Galarza said. “I didn’t fight my fight and he did. This type of stuff happens in our sport. I’m disappointed in my performance, but mark my words I’ll be back, better and stronger than ever.” “It’s a crushing blow to Galarza’s career,” said ShoBox analyst Steve Farhood. “Because of his late start in boxing and his age, he can’t afford a loss like this. After the first round, he didn’t show any adjustment and lost every subsequent round. “With that said, the story is obviously Jarret Hurd, who hadn’t fought a high level of opposition coming in, but stuck with a sound game plan, executed it well and showed no nerves in his national television debut. He made a name for himself in stopping a legitimate tough guy in ‘The Brooklyn Rocky.’” In the ShoBox co-feature, blue-chip prospect Sergiy Derevyanchenkodefeated Jessie Nicklow with an impressive diet of body shots and uppercuts in a dominating, third round TKO. Derevyanchenko (7-0, 5 KOs) attacked Nicklow from the outset, landing an astonishing 72 percent of power punches and 56 percent of his total shots. The durable Nicklow, who took the fight on short notice, could do nothing against the former Ukrainian amateur standout. In the third, Derevyanchenko backed Nicklow (25-8-3, 8 KOs) against the ropes and unleashed a series of punishing shots against a defenseless opponent, forcing referee Jay Nady to step in and halt the contest at 2:18 of the third. “This was a great performance by me,” Derevyanchenko said. “Jessie was a very tough opponent. I feel like I showed another element to my game tonight. No one has done to Jessie what I did to him tonight. “I’m improving every time and I feel like I’ll be ready for a title shot by the end of 2016.” In the opening bout of the telecast, undefeated light heavyweight prospect David Benavidez scored three knockdowns en route to a first round TKO (2:00) of veteran Felipe Romero. VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS:http://s.sho.com/1NxpwT0 Benavidez (11-0, 10 KOs) had no trouble facing his most experienced opponent to date, knocking Romero (15-10-1, 9 KOs) down with a series of lefts to the body and head with less than a minute into the fight. Romero got up, but Benavidez continued to pepper Romero and floored him again with a left hook to the body. Ramirez again beat the count, but only lasted a few seconds before Benavidez finished him off with this third knockdown in just two minutes. “I know how strong my body shots are and I knew they would be effective,” Benavidez said. “I wanted to make a great impression in my first nationally televised fight. I’m ready to get back in the ring gain as soon as possible.” In a non-televised bout, former WBC Heavyweight World ChampionBermane Stiverne (25-2-1, 21 KOs) defeated Derric Rossy (30-11, 14 KOs) via unanimous decision (95-94, 96-93, 96-93) in his first fight since losing the title to Deontay Wilder last January. “I feel good—it was great to be back in the ring again,” Stiverne said. “I wasn’t rusty, but maybe I sparred too much in the gym. He was a tough guy. The knockdown was more of a flash knockdown. It was a good punch, but I was a little off balance, too. “I’m ready to get back in the ring soon and work my way back to become a world champion again.” Stiverne knocked down with 10 seconds left in the first round. The ShoBox tripleheader will re-air on Monday, Nov. 16 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME ON DEMAND® beginning Sunday, Nov. 15.

Here’s what the fighters had to say prior to Friday’s weigh-in: Fank Galarza “I don’t mind challenging fights. You put me in with a tough opponent and you’re going to see a tough Frank Galarza. “We’ve been here already. We know what it takes to put my undefeated record on the line. I’ve faced the tougher fighters. I know I can swing, but is he ready to swing? I’ve been the [under] dog and been in with the sharks before. And I swam with them. “I don’t think he’s ready for what I bring to the table. He hasn’t been in with someone like me. “He’s going to try to come forward and bully me, but that’s not going to happen. “It takes a tough guy to go in that ring. Anything can happen. At the end of the day, it comes down to who wants it more. “I’m ready for a 10 rounder. I’ve been looking for one for a while. “No matter how much video we watch, no one knows what it’s going to happen in the ring. We have to capitalize on his mistakes. Boxing is about adapting and I adapt very well.” Jarrett Hurd “It’s a great opportunity for us. We’ve been thinking about fighting [Frank] Galarza since last December. “Frank might be confident, but he doesn’t intimidate me. My confidence is skyrocketing. My style matches up perfect for him. “I know what I can do. I sparred with guys that are elite fighters –Lamont Peterson, Antoine Douglas, Dominic Wade, Austin Trout, Jerry Odom. We’ve been sparring with some of the best in [Washington] D.C. and Maryland. “This is a huge fight for me. It could open the doors that I’ve been waiting for.” Sergiy Derevyanchenko “He [Jessie Nicklow] doesn’t have anything I haven’t seen before. He has experience, but I’m ready to show off what I’ve been working on at the gym. “I can always get better. I’m learning in every fight. There’s a big difference between the amateurs and the pros. I’m leaning new combinations, new techniques. I learn from my sparring partners every day. “I was preparing for a fight in December, so that’s why the weight is contacted at 166. But I’m a middleweight –the future is 160. “I’m ready to take the next step. [Gennady] Golovkin is the champion of the world, of course I’d like to fight him. “Fighters from the Ukraine, we work hard because we know where we come from. Life wasn’t easy for us growing up.” Jessie Nicklow “I can back this guy up. The guy [Sergiy Derevyanchenko] is 30 years old and he has six pro fights. They think this is an easy fight, but I’m going to beat the crap out of him. I’m really excited. “I think these people are stupid –I can’t believe they’re flying me in to fight this guy who’s got six fights. He’s got a big amateur background, but he’s only got six pro fights. I cannot wait to get in the ring Saturday night. “I’ve fought an [Ryota Murata] Olympic Gold Medalist before. This guy doesn’t have anything I haven’t seen before. I’m not coming to lose. He’s on my soil and I’m coming to beat him. “I’m 100 percent. This guy is smaller than me. I’m used to fighting big guys.” David Benavidez “[Fernando] Romero is better than most of the opponents I’ve faced, so this is definitely a step-up for me. “I’ve knocked down every fighter I’ve faced. I’m looking forward to putting this guy down. “We sparred with southpaws in camp, so we’re ready if he switches on us. “He likes to throw a lot of wild punches. We know there will be a lot of open opportunities for me. “I sparred with Kelly Pavlik, Gennady Golovkin, Peter Quillin, Julius Jackson. I’m 18 and I’ve been sparring with some of the best fighters in the world. “I’m focusing on fighting at 168. I don’t have any problem making the weight. I contracted higher for this fight [173], but 168 is the future for us. I’m very excited to fight on national TV for the first time. “I used to be a lot bigger than I am now. I was 5-foot-4, 250 pounds when I was 13-years-old. I lost the weight and I started to grow. “I don’t regret not fighting much in the amateurs. I’m happy I turned pro at 16. I had to move to Mexico to do it, but it was the right move for my career.” Felipe Romero “This is the best weight for me. I’m a natural light heavyweight. “I’m working with a new trainer and we’ve been working on some new things. I’m focused full time on fighting. “I know he’s good, he’s strong, he’s young, but he’s been fighting guys who aren’t very good. He hasn’t faced anyone with my experience. I’ve faced tougher guys and I’m coming to beat him. “I need to be smart and use my experience. He hasn’t fought many rounds so we’re going to push him. He’s not going to knock me out. “I’ve fought all over the world. Fighting as an underdog is nothing new to me.” Bermane Stiverne “Training has been excellent and I’m ready to fight tomorrow night. “I’m excited to be fighting again. I’ve been off too long. “I’ve climbed the mountain to become a world champion and I’m prepared to do it again. I want to get my title back.” Tickets for the live event are priced at $155, $105, $80, $55 and $30, not including applicable fees, and are on sale now.

FIREWORKS BETWEEN ADRIEN BRONER & SHAWN PORTER AT PREMIER BOXING CHAMPIONS ON NBC FINAL PRESS CONFERENCE PROMOTER FLOYD MAYWEATHER AND PREMIER BOXING CHAMPIONS FIGHTER MEDIA WORKOUT QUOTES & PHOTOS FATHER’S DAY WEEKEND FIGHTS REPRESENT SPIRIT OF HOLIDAY FIGHTERS FEATURED ON SATURDAY’S PBC ON NBC & SUNDAY’S PBC ON CBS CARDS REFLECT ON THE IMPORTANCE OF FATHERHOOD LAS VEGAS (June 17, 2015) – Boxing’s storied history of close familial relationships will come to life this Father’s Day Weekend as Premier Boxing Champions returns to NBC onJune 20 and CBS on June 21 live from MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The fighters featured on both of these stacked cards have close relationships with their own fathers, are fathers themselves or have found a father figure in the boxing gym. Moreover, fans of the sweet science are often born into a longstanding love for the sport that is passed on from generation to generation as fathers share the tradition of watching boxing at home with their families. As Premier Boxing Champions continues to bring great action to network television, this Father’s Day Weekend of back-to-back fight cards is another opportunity for fathers to continue to pass this tradition along. On Saturday, Adrien “The Problem” Broner (30-1, 22 KOs) and “Showtime” Shawn Porter (25-1-1, 16 KOs) will face off in a fiercely competitive 12-round matchup. Also on the card, the undefeated Errol “The Truth” Spence Jr. (16-0, 13 KOs) puts his record on the line against hard-hitting veteran Roberto “La Amenaza” Garcia (37-3, 23 KOs) in the biggest challenge of his young career. The PBC on NBC action begins at 8:30 p.m. PT Former world champions Rances Barthelemy (22-0, 13 KOs) and Antonio DeMarco(31-4-1, 23 KOs) headline the Premier Boxing Champions on CBS card on Father’s Day, Sunday, June 21 live beginning at 4 p.m. Also featured in a televised bout is an explosive welterweight matchup that pits the undefeated Sammy Vasquez (18-0, 13 KOs) against Nigerian knockout artist Wale Omotoso (25-1, 21 KOs). From the legendary duo of Floyd Mayweather, co-promoter of this weekend’s PBC fight cards, and his father Floyd Mayweather Sr. to other famed father-son teams such asJulio Cesar Chavez Sr. and Julio Jr. and Don and Felix “Tito” Trinidad, the importance of fatherhood is as prevalent in the sweet science now as it has always been, as evidenced by the thoughts and comments stated below from this weekend’s featured fighters. ADRIEN BRONER “My dad ‘Pops’ was the first person to take me to the boxing gym and that is where we met Coach Mike [Stafford]. My dad just knew that he wanted me to box and he took me to the right place. “Everyone calls my dad ‘Pops’ because he’s like a dad to everyone around me – my friends, fighters in the gym…everyone. He’s always been there 100 percent of the time. “Me and my dad are both a little crazy. We are similar people. We are both cut from a different cloth, we like to have fun and work hard. We mesh. “My dad usually comes to camp the last two weeks, so he is at the gym everyday leading up to the fights. When he’s not with me in the gym, he is working on cars as a mechanic in Cincinnati. “[On being a father] I love being with my kids. I like to do fun things with them and give them more than I had as a kid. I love when they come to the gym and come to my fights. “When my youngest Adrieon was born, I was there every step of the way and now this Father’s Day is going to be even better when I win.” SHAWN PORTER “My dad has always been there from sports to school and has helped me through all of it. He is an anomaly because he was always there as a single father. You don’t really find that too much in the African American community – a single dad that wants to be there for his children the way my dad has been there for me and my brother. “Every day is kind of like Father’s Day for us. I want to make this one very memorable and it is the first of many to come. But obviously Sunday will be much better if I win. “I feel like I make his day everyday. It’s him and I. Its what we do. You have your good days and bad days. For me being a son and an athlete team, it makes me want to perform on a different level.” ERROL SPENCE JR. “My dad got me started in boxing. He was a truck driver, so he used to drive overnight, and then he’ll get home 12:00 p.m. or later then take me to the gym. Then after that he’d come from the gym, it was like 5:00 or 6:00 p.m., and he would rest for one or two hours and go straight to work. “At the time, I didn’t really think about it, but as I got older and a little bit wiser, realizing all the sacrifices that he sacrificed for me to be able to box and go to all these national tournaments and all these tournaments out of state and stuff. He had to pay for the hotel, pay for food and stuff like that out of pocket. We didn’t have any sponsors and stuff like that. “I am proud to be named after my dad and I thank him for believing in me and pushing me to be the best I can be. “He plays a big part of my boxing career. He’s my supporter. That’s my mentor. That’s like my best friend. For Father’s Day, I’m going to get him a win, and it’s going to be an impressive win that he’ll be proud of and he’ll love. He played a big part in my career. Without him, I know I wouldn’t be boxing. My dad will be in my corner Saturday night.” RANCES BARTHELEMY “Father’s Day is very special to me because my wife and daughter, who are my world, treat me like a king for the day. Being a father is very important, and in today’s society, not enough fathers are there for their children. It’s great that there is a day to honor the good fathers that take care of their families. “My father, Emilio Barthelemy, “I remember when we were little, me and my brothers would take my father out to breakfast on Father’s Day. It was a very special time and we all enjoyed the moment. My wife and daughter love to spoil me on Father’s Day. Last year they took me to my favorite Cuban restaurant and I enjoyed a wonderful meal with both of them.” SAMMY VASQUEZ “Being a father of three girls and having such a strong relationship with my Dad makes Father’s Day one of the biggest holidays for me.” “My father has been with me every step of the way supporting my career from selling tickets in Pittsburgh, to being with me at every fight and serving as one of my managers. It’s great to have him alongside me, it would be special to win this fight on Father’s Day for him.” “It’s tough having to be away from my daughter’s on Sunday but we’ll celebrate on Monday when I get back home and have our Father’s Day then.” WALE OMOTOSO “I am so proud to have two boys [ages 5 and 2] with my wife. We have lived in Los Angeles for four years and we have a very happy life together there. “My wife’s parents came to LA from Australia so they can watch the kids this weekend when I fight and my wife can come and cheer me on. “My father died right before I turned pro and moved to Australia from Nigeria. I got an opportunity to move away from Africa and I took it. He would be proud. “My trainer Eric Brown is like a father to me now. He knows my wife and kids. We walk all the time. He tells me to keep my head on straight and focus. “I’m going to win on Sunday. That is going to be my Father’s Day present for my kids too. I’m going to win this fight for them. It is the best Father’s Day present I can give – giving them a reason to be proud of their dad.” Live coverage of Premier Boxing Champions on NBC begins at 8:30 p.m. PT with the 10-round welterweight battle between undefeated rising star Errol “The Truth” Spence Jr. and tough brawler Roberto “La Amenaza” Garcia.
