Morales-Matthysse quick quotes

By Karl Freitag

Mexican boxing legend Erik “El Terrible” Morales and top super lightweight contender Lucas Matthysse held a media conference call today to discuss their upcoming fight for the vacant WBC super lightweight belt formerly held by Timothy Bradley. Morales will be seeking to become the first Mexican fighter to win a world title in four separate weight divisions. The bout will be part of the Mayweather-Ortiz pay-per-view card taking place Sept. 17 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Erik Morales: People always think they’re going to finish me, end my career, knock me out, and that gives me the hunger, the strength and the motivation to prove them wrong and go in there and win.

Comparing Matthysse to Marcos Maidana:
Maidana was very strong, very difficult, everything that they said was true, but I showed I can compete with them all…on paper Lucas Matthysse looks very good. He’s had tough opponents, he’s a very strong, very young fighter, but ask me at the end of the fight.

On fighting on Mexican Independence Weekend:
It’s very important, very motivating to be fighting on this date and for the title against a tough, strong rival like Lucas. It’s something I do because I love it. It’s in my heart, and come September 17 the Mexican people know Erik Morales. They know every time I step into that ring I step in 100%. I’m well prepared, I’m trained and I’m willing to give it all. I fight with my heart, dignity and love for the sport. And after the fight I’m ready to celebrate with Mexico.

Lucas Matthysse: It’s a great opportunity and we’re coming to win.

On returning to the USA after two controversial losses:
I know I won those fights. People know I won those fights, and when I was offered this opportunity I was very happy to come back to the U.S. and what better way than to fight for a world title?

On Morales, compared to Zab Judah and Devon Alexander:
Totally different styles and different fighters. They box and move backwards. Erik Morales boxes, but he moves forwards. He comes to fight.

IBF orders Agbeko-Mares rematch

IBF President Daryl Peoples and IBF Championships Chairman Lindsey Tucker completed their review of the IBF Optional Bantamweight Championship bout that took place on August 13, 2011 in Las Vegas, NV, between Joseph Agbeko and Abner Mares. Peoples and Tucker observed several low blow fouls committed by Abner Mares. While the referee, Russell Mora, issued numerous warnings for low blows during the course of the bout, he neglected to deduct points for these fouls. With 1:03 left in round eleven, Joseph Agbeko was hit with a low blow foul that forced him to the canvas. Mr. Mora determined that the blow landed by Mares was legal and began to count indicating that a knockdown had occurred.

Based upon their review of the bout, it has been determined by the IBF that inappropriate conduct by the referee affected the outcome of the fight. In accordance with IBF/USBA Rule 3.D., the IBF is ordering a rematch between Joseph Agbeko and Abner Mares for the IBF Bantamweight title which must be held within the next 120 days or by December 14, 2011.

Lucian Bute Expects a Tough Fight From Glen Johnson

By Chris LaBate

He couldn't secure Mikkel Kessler or Kelly Pavlik, but IBF super middleweight champion Lucian Bute was able to bag former champion Glen Johnson for a scheduled defense on November 5th, possibly in Quebec City. Bute (29-0, 24 KOs) and his entourage are relieved that InterBox was able to finalize a deal for a November opponent. Bute knows Johnson (51-15-2, 35 KOs) very well, because the two of them had sparred with each other several times.

"I'm glad it was completed. I came back from Romania last week and I didn't know who I was going to box against. [Johnson] is a very good opponent, a former champion and he faced the world's best during his career, and I know he has a lot of experience," said Bute to Eric LeBlanc.

"Our goal remains to prove that I belong among the best. I still want to face the winner of the Super Six tournament, but it's one fight at a time. I am ready to face all the boxers who participated in this tournament to show my value to people and also that I deserve to be considered the best super middleweight in the world."

Jean Bédard, President of InterBox, also expects a tough test for Bute.

"We think it will be a good test for Lucian especially since [Johnson] has not been knocked out since 1997 against Bernard Hopkins. He is strong and he just had a good fight against Carl Froch. He was the number one choice when Pavlik [walked] but I keep finding it difficult to find opponents who want to fight Lucian," said Bédard

Maidana vs Guerrero Training Camps Notes, Quotes

LOS ANGELES - Just a little over two weeks remain before the hottest fight of the summer when WBA Super Lightweight World Champion Marcos "El Chino" Maidana and WBA and WBO Interim Lightweight World Champion Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero square off in a 12-round battle for Maidana's title on August 27 at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, Calif. which will be televised live on HBO Boxing After Dark®. We checked in with Maidana in San Juan, Puerto Rico and Guerrero in Big Bear, Calif. for training camp reports so fight fans can find out what the two boxing stars are up to before the biggest fight of their careers.

THE CHAMPION - MARCOS MAIDANA - SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO

The summer heat is at its peak in Puerto Rico at this time of the year and while that's great for the tourists and beach lovers who are hitting the Caribbean island in droves, it's even better for WBA Super Lightweight World Champion Marcos Maidana, who has set up camp in Puerto Rico for the first time as he prepares for his August 27 showdown with Robert Guerrero.

"We like to base our training camp in different places to break up the routine," said Maidana, who trained in Las Vegas for his last fight with Erik "El Terrible" Morales in April. "It's more of a mental thing than anything else. This time we picked Puerto Rico because of its hot weather and because there are a lot of southpaw fighters there. We added a few things to my training, like working in the ocean and the sand which was a good change, but the rest of my routine stayed the same."

Part of that "same" routine is having Rudy Perez, one of the most underrated trainers in the game, back in Maidana's corner after leading his charge to victory against "El Terrible" earlier this year.

"I'm happy with the camp and with Rudy," said Maidana. "I am settling into his style. The key is the amount of time I have in training camp. This camp has been longer than the previous one, so I have more time to learn new tricks."

Since he has more time to prepare, Maidana promises that he will be more dangerous than ever, a scary prospect for Guerrero and any fighter at 140 pounds. Even more notable is that with the extra time in camp, "El Chino" promises that fatigue won't be an issue on August 27.

"I am not the kind of person that likes making excuses, but for the Morales fight, we only had seven weeks to train and my body needs at least nine or ten," Maidana said. "However, I think I made a big mistake by throwing so many punches in the first four rounds. It was like I left it all there and then it took me a while to recover. I thought I was going to knock him out and maybe got too excited in the early rounds. For this fight I will adjust that."

Maidana makes it abundantly clear that he's not looking to go 12 rounds for the fourth straight time even though two of those bouts (against Morales and Amir "King" Khan) were 'Fight of the Year' caliber bouts. Instead, he's looking to get back to the routine that saw him knock out current WBC Welterweight World Champion "Vicious" Victor Ortiz, William Gonzalez and Victor Manuel Cayo in succession in 2009-10. Taking the judges out of the equation in Guerrero's backyard of San Jose is even more important to Maidana.

"Going to your opponent's home to fight is always risky these days, as we have seen some questionable decisions lately," admits Maidana. "However, I trust the California State Athletic Commission judges, but that does not mean that I am preparing differently, because no matter where the fight is I always train hard to knock out my opponent. I have to prepare 100% when it comes to a great opponent of Guerrero's level."

THE CHALLENGER - ROBERT GUERRERO - BIG BEAR, CALIFORNIA

Already a five-time world champion in three weight divisions, 28-year-old Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero has plenty of experience being in fights with top-level competition, but the native of Gilroy, California is well aware that his fight with Maidana may just be the toughest of his 10-year professional career.

"Maidana, as everyone knows, is one of the toughest challenges for anyone in boxing," said Guerrero. "He almost had Khan out in their fight, he stopped Ortiz and he's never been knocked out in his career. This is a very tough fight and I'll have to be on my 'A' game to come out victorious. Maidana is always ready for battle and I'm ready to meet the challenge and that equals fireworks. All I can say is, I thank the Lord Jesus Christ for putting me in this position and I'm coming to win."

With just over two weeks to go before the world title challenge, Guerrero has been locked away at the high altitude of California's San Bernardino Mountains in Big Bear, and with his intensified cardio routine and some hard sparring sessions, "The Ghost" is preparing for a fast-paced 12 round fight that will get fight fans at the HP Pavilion on their feet.

"Everything is going well in camp," said Guerrero's trainer and father, Ruben Guerrero. "Robert is looking sharp and I see him getting better and better each day he spars. (Unbeaten rising star) Frankie Gomez and (WBC Super Welterweight Champion) Canelo Alvarez have been a big help getting us ready for this fight. We're getting good work and we'll be ready come fight night."

Also in camp is Guerrero's nutritionist, Bob Santos along with Robert's brother Eric, and this tight knit crew is confident that when the dust settles on August 27, "The Ghost" will have another world title belt to put in his trophy case.

"If Robert can execute the game plan we've set for this fight, he'll have a good chance to be successful," said Santos. "Maidana is relentless and has underrated boxing skills. Bottom line is...we're in a tough fight and the fans are going to be in for a treat."

Maidana vs. Guerrero, a 12 round fight for the WBA Super Lightweight World Championship title and is presented by Golden Boy Promotions in association with Universum Box Promotions and sponsored by Cerveza Tecate, DeWalt Tools and AT&T. The HBO Boxing After Dark telecast, which will also feature a ten round heavyweight showdown between Seth Mitchell and Mike Mollo, begins at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT.

Mayweather vs Martinez Can Happen, Says Lou DiBella

By Mike Coppinger

Middleweight champion Sergio Martinez is taking somewhat of a stay-busy fight, as he will face lightly-regarded Darren Barker on Oct. 1 in Atlantic City.

In the barren middleweight division, there are no big fights for Martinez right now, but there are plenty of big fighters south at 147 and 154, and Martinez would certainly move down to junior middleweight for the right fight, according to Martinez’s promoter Lou DiBella.

“He can get down to ’54, but he really re-sculpted his body when he moved up (to 160) for Pavlik,” said DiBella. “He’s already seen [nutritionists], his most comfortable weight is right between ’54 and ‘60. So, he can go down to ’54, but below ’54, he hasn’t been there in years and years. And he’s not a young kid, at 36, shrinking down that far [is difficult].”

One such big fight Martinez that could be made at junior middleweight is with Floyd “Money” Mayweather, a fight DiBella would welcome.

“I think that Mayweather’s the only guy that I can see [taking the fight],” said the New York-based promoter. “Pacquiao’s too small and Floyd’s defense is so great, that Sergio would have problems penetrating it. So that’s the most interesting fight and I also think that it’s much, much more likely that Mayweather would fight Sergio than Pacquiao.”

DiBella see’s Mayweather-Martinez as a real possibility, but only if once again the biggest fight in boxing is unable to be made.

“I think the only way it’s possible is if they can’t get their shit together and make Mayweather-Pacquiao.

Schaefer: Robert Guerrero Injured, Maidana Fight is Off

By Rick Reeno

Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer has announced that Robert Guerrero injured his shoulder in a sparring session which took place on Wednesday in Big Bear, California, and the scheduled fight with Marcos Maidana on August 27th in San Jose, California has been cancelled. Guerrero was going to make his junior welterweight debut. The fight card was going to be televised by HBO and heavyweight Seth Mitchell was scheduled to appear in the televised co-feature against Mike Mollo.

"The card has unfortunately been cancelled. I hope that its going to be postponed and rescheduled. It was on track to selling out and it's very unfortunate. We obviously wish and hope that Robert is going to be well," Schaefer said.

"I got a call around 9am this morning from [manager] Bob Santos, who is working with Robert Guerrero in training camp. Robert Guerreo injured his shoulder yesterday in sparring. It was at the point where it was numb. They tried to ice it. But it did not get better. He was unable to even put a jacket on."

Schaefer doesn't know which shoulder got injured, but said the boxer is going to have an MRI taken later today and his camp is "afraid that it might be a torn rotator cuff."

I doubt this fight would happen. I love to see it at 160 and PBF come in whatever weight he feels comfortable at. Him fighting for the middleweight title against sergio as I have always said would be incredible.
