A #BandCamp + #Thurminators collabo - 3/7/15: Broner vs Molina Jr. and Thurman vs Guerrero

[Knicksman20]

Winky was the dude. Even though, most of my fam hated him after the Tito win () I always fukked with him and respected him in the ring.

I did feel bad he got fukked over so many times. Don't think he legitimately lost until he faced B-Hop

I always thought he was clearly beat by Harry Simon & edged out by Vargas.

Greatest Hits: John Molina Jr. counts down his three biggest fights
Feb 24, 2015 By Jason Bracelin

The power-punching John Molina Jr. generates such fireworks in the ring, the guy is like a human Roman candle. Prior to his March 7 clash with Adrien Broner on the debut Premier Boxing Champions card on NBC, Molina reflects on what he considers to be his three biggest fights:

John Molina Jr. has gained 22 of his 27 career victories by knockout.

3 Hank Lundy

The trash-talking Lundy got under Molina’s skin prior to their July 2010 clash at the Twin River Event Center in Lincoln, Rhode Island.

“He was talking so much crap, like, ‘Man, Molina, when I see you, I’m gonna end you. I’m gonna end your life.’”

Instead, Molina knocked Lundy out in the 11th round, handing him his first loss.

Not long afterwards, Molina encountered Lundy in the lobby of the MGM Grand in Las Vegas the night of a Floyd Mayweather fight and had a few choice words of his own for Lundy.

“I walked right up to him, I said, ‘Come here, little man, take a picture with me.’ I grabbed his hand and he was like, ‘Man I didn’t realize you were this big.’ I said, ‘That’s because I knocked you out our last fight. You probably don’t remember.’”

2 Mickey Bey

Molina was trailing widely on all three judges’ scorecards heading into the 10th and final round in his battle with an unbeaten Bey in July 2013 at The Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas.


“I was losing the fight on points, but little by little, I knew I was getting to him,” Molina says.

With less than a minute left to go in the fight, Molina scored a dramatic come-from-behind victory after nailing Bey with a savage left hook to the jaw, which led to an onslaught of punches.

“I remember just hitting this guy, hitting this guy, looking at (the referee) like, ‘I’m going to kill this kid if you don’t stop it, I’m going to keep going.’ And he stopped it. The opportunity to knock out Mickey Bey with 58 seconds is what catapulted me to the next level.”



1 Lucas Matthysse

Matthysse may have knocked Molina out in the 11th round of their April 2014 brawl at the StubHub Center in Carson, California, but the all-action fight was one of the year’s best—and Molina’s stock rose because of it.

“It was one of rare occasions where you can lose a fight and really win,” Molina says. “That was a definite pivotal point in my career.”

Throughout the fight, Molina and Matthysse stood toe-to-toe and hammered each other relentlessly.

“It was bombs away,” Molina says. “People in the front row were like, ‘If you could hear the shots that you guys were giving each other, it was unbelievable.’ They said it sounded like watermelon exploding every time we would hit each other.”

Nah he lost convincingly against Julio Cesar Vasquez....he went down 5 times in the fight...until the quillin fight that was the only fight he went down in

Adrien Broner ready to let his fists do the talking
Feb 25, 2015 By Lem Satterfield

Three-time world champion Adrien Broner acknowledges that there have been times during his career when his antics outside the ring have gained more attention than his accomplishments inside of it.

Adrien Broner has his hair brushed by his father before his 147-pound title fight against Paullie Malignaggi in Brooklyn, New York, on June 22, 2013.

The Cincinnati native, who has won titles at 130, 135 and 147 pounds, hopes to keep to attention on his boxing ability when he faces John Molina Jr. at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on March 7. The 140-pound bout will air on NBC in the debut of the Premier Boxing Champions series.

Broner’s antics, such as his crude comments about Jay Z and Rihanna last month, have made him the fighter that many boxing fans love to hate. But the 25-year-old father of six now wants to shed some of his negative baggage.

"I don't necessarily have to give them a different side because, at the end of the day, you're going to have people that like you and people that dislike you. But I do have to sharpen things up,” Broner said. “I can't come off as brash and disrespectful. Because, when I was younger, it was just like middle fingers to everybody and 'This is the way I'm gonna do it,' and, 'Eff you all, y'all are against me.’

"But I didn't have to come off that way. So, right now, I have a chance to get people to understand me and the reason that I act this way. If somebody can understand that, then they can be like, 'Maybe he's not a bad kid.'"

With the opportunity to fight regularly on television, Broner sees this as his chance to establish himself as one of boxing’s top stars.

"This is the first time that some people are going to be seeing me, and they're going to love me because I'm outspoken and I really don't put a cap on too much. But it's going to be fun,” Broner said.

“I am glad that I still have the crowd that hates me, because crossing over to NBC, this could be the first time that they're seeing me. They haven't seen the videos of the wild things that I used to do. Their first time seeing me, they're going to see a boxer, and that's exactly what I'm going to be."

Eh, I don't agree.

Yeah he got knocked down several times, but one of them looked more like a slip to me. And if I recall correctly, if it would have been called a slip, Winky would have squeaked out a W. Winky won every round where he wasn't knocked down in.

That's the only fight you could argue that he lost though

Greatest Hits: Adrien Broner looks back at his top 3 fights
Feb 26, 2015 By Lem Satterfield

Adrien Broner is already a three-time world champion—and he's only 25 years old.

Broner won a 130-pound title by knocking out Vicente Martin Rodriguez in November 2011, a 135-pound title with an eighth-round stoppage of Antonio DeMarco in November 2012, and a championship at 147 pounds with a decision over Paulie Malignaggi in June 2013.

As he enters a 140-pound clash against John Molina Jr. in Las Vegas on March 7 in the debut of the Premier Boxing Champions series on NBC, Broner reflects on what he considers his three most significant fights.



3 William Kickett

Broner was 9-0 when he entered the ring in Los Angeles in June 2009 to fight Kickett, who had defeated 15 of his 16 opponents, including talented Argentine Vicente Martin Rodriguez in August 2008.

The fight was competitive through the early rounds, but Broner knocked down the more experienced Australian near the end of Round 5. Broner then finished off Kickett in the following round.

"I fought Willie Kickett right after beating Fernando Quintero (see below), and after the Quintero fight, the same manager brought in Kickett. In his mind, he was thinking, 'Broner just had a tough fight with Quintero, so this is the top guy in the whole division.’ The whole environment was in his favor. We were fighting in Los Angeles, and I was the opponent,” Broner said.

"I got on the scale at the weigh-in and I was slightly over, and Kickett's manager looked at me like, 'Let him have it.' He was just so sure that they were going to beat me, but I beat him—I knocked him out."



2 Fernando Quintero

Both fighters were unbeaten entering their May 2009 bout in Fort Worth, Texas: Broner at 8-0, and Quintero at 7-0-1.

Quintero was the toughest opponent to date for the 19-year-old Broner, who had won half of his fights by first-round knockout.

Broner had difficulty with the 25-year-old Mexican, but did enough to win the eight-round bout by majority decision.

"It was a tough fight, because he didn't come to lay down,” Broner said. “Once I got in there and I really fought eight rounds for the first time, it was like, 'I ain't training hard enough.' My talent got me over that hump, and I had to dig.

“After that fight, I came back to the gym and was like, 'I've got to step up.' I really stepped it up from that point on. That's one of the reasons that I train the way that I train."




1 Marcos Maidana

Broner was riding high after beating Paulie Malignaggi in June 2013 to become a world champion at 147 pounds.

But he says he gained more when he lost his title to Maidana in a unanimous decision in San Antonio that December.

Broner, a significant favorite over Maidana, was knocked down in the second and eighth rounds en route to his only professional loss.

"What people don't realize is that that was one of the highest points of my career,” Broner said. “I got more recognition from my loss than I had ever gotten for one of my wins.

"I look at that fight, and I'm like, 'Man, that fight made me who I am today.’ Everything happens for a reason. I'm kind of glad that I lost that fight. If I had won that fight, I'd probably be dead or in jail."

Guerrero-Thurman: Gausha, Breazeale, Easter To Return
Posted by: Random Hits on 2/25/2015 .

LAS VEGAS - The action-packed undercard on Saturday, March 7 just got even better with the additions of undefeated U.S. Olympians Terrell Gausha and Dominic Breazeale and undefeated lightweight prospect Robert Easter, all participating in separate bouts at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

These fights are part of the blockbuster card featuring Keith Thurman vs. Robert Guerrero and Adrien Broner vs. John Molina, Jr. that will air live on NBC (8:30 p.m. ET/5:30 p.m. PT). The Abner Mares vs. Arturo Santos Reyes bout will be televised live on the NBC show (8:30-11 p.m. ET) or on the NBCSN telecast (11 p.m. ET).

Tickets for the live event are priced at $400, $300, $100 and $50, not including applicable service charges and taxes, are on sale now. To charge by phone with a major credit card, call Ticketmaster at (800) 745-3000. Tickets are also available at www.mgmgrand.com or www.ticketmaster.com.

Born and raised in Cleveland, Gausha (13-0, 7 KOs) was a decorated amateur who won gold medals at the U.S. National Championships in 2009 and 2012. The 27-year-old is undefeated since turning pro in 2012. Most recently he scored a knockout victory in December 2014 over Cesar Vila and he looks to keep his perfect record intact on March 13.

A 2012 U.S. Olympian, Breazeale (13-0, 12 KOs) has been nearly perfect in recording knockouts as a pro, having only gone the distance in one fight. The 29-year-old looks to keep his undefeated record intact on March 7 when he takes on 35-year-old Puerto Rican heavyweight Victor Bisbal (21-2, 15 KOs). Bisbal last fought in 2013 when he was knocked out by Magomed Abdusalamov despite having won his previous 16 bouts.

An accomplished amateur from Toledo, Ohio, Easter (12-0, 9 KOs) is another highly regarded amateur looking to make a statement on March 7 in Las Vegas. He most recently recorded a dominant unanimous decision victory in December 2014 over Angel Hernandez. Fighting for the third time in Las Vegas, the 24-year-old will look to put on a show on March 7.

The stellar March 7 fight night is promoted by Goossen Promotions.

Guerrero: Experience Edge Will Overcome Thurman
Posted by: Ryan Burton on 2/26/2015

By Ryan Burton

BoxingScene.com caught up with former multi-division champion Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero (32-2) last week at his media day for his upcoming showdown against undefeated welterweight Keith "One Time" Thurman (24-0). Their fight will headline NBC's debut of the new "Premier Boxing Champions" series that is being put on by Haymon Boxing.

The Gilroy, Calif. native has a lot of respect for Thurman and said that his record of 21 knockouts in 24 fights shows what type of power be possesses.


"He can punch. His record speaks for itself - 21 knockouts - he's got some cracking power. Not just anyone puts in 21 knockouts like that. I think his last fight he fought a smart fight. He knew he couldn't really hurt (Leonard Bundu) so he just went out there and got the win," Guerrero explained while also saying that he expects his opponent to be very motivated.


"When you have a guy like Thurman with a lot of knockouts and comes in undefeated - a guy everyone is hyped up about - then they come to fight.


"They bring everything they got. It's for a title. It's a main event on NBC and that type of stuff brings out the best in fighters. I think he is going to bring everything he has."

The 31-year-old Guerrero ultimately feels that his advantage in experience will play a big factor in the fight and lead him to victory.

Guerrero has fought the better competition overall and feels that will be a key when they step in the ring inside the MGM Grand Garden Arena on March 7th. He feels that he will be ready for whatever Thurman tries to do in the ring.

"Experience plays a big role in everything. It's also what you do and how you react. What he does and what he brings, you have to be able to capitalize on different things and change stuff up," said Guerrero. "All of the fights that I have under my belt against tough guys, lefties, guys that can box, guys that can brawl. It's brings a big advantage. It changes the game when you have that experience."

Heard a promo for this on my local ESPN sports radio station yesterday. Boxing advertising in the mainstream.

They did pronounce Broner's name as: Bronier.

ABNER MARES: "I HAVE TO GO OUT THERE AND MAKE A STATEMENT...I WANT TO STEAL THE SHOW"
By Press Release | February 26, 2015

Check out what Abner Mares had to say about his upcoming bout:


Abner Mares, Former Three-Division World Champion


"I have always felt the love from all my different coaches. There's no perfect coach and no perfect fighter. Going back to Clemente Medina was just the most perfect fit. He knows me well and we're on the same page. There is a lot of comfort.


"I didn't lose anything from the Gonzalez fight, I gained. I learned a lot from that fight and now I'm more focused on becoming better and better.


"I have to go out there and make a statement. I'm going out there and branding myself on national television. I'm excited for people to see me out there and my mentality is to go in there and impress. I want to steal the show.


"I hope Leo Santa Cruz is next. I know it's there. I just want to look sharp and go from there."

JOHN MOLINA: "I'M UNDEFEATED AGAINST QUICK GUYS LIKE ADRIEN BRONER...I'M ONLY FOCUSED ON BEING VICTORIOUS"
By Press Release | February 26, 2015

Check out what John Molina had to say about his upcoming bout:


John Molina Jr., Super Lightweight Contender


"Being the underdog is how I got to this point. I took the scenic route to get here but I'm definitely excited to be on this big show on NBC. It's going to be a great night of boxing on March 7.


"The (Humberto) Soto fight was a learning experience, but going in as the underdog is about going in and doing your job. I've had a lot of success as an underdog.


"I just took the positives from my last fight and tried to make the best of it and now I'm here today with the golden ticket in my hand.


"To see where I'm at today, after all I've gone through in my career, I'm in awe sometimes but we're just barely getting started.


"I'm undefeated against quick guys like Adrien Broner and I love being the underdog. Adrien Broner is a great name for the sport of boxing, everyone loves to hate him, so it's going to be a great night of boxing.


"Stylistically it's two very different styles and that is what makes great fights. It's like Apollo Creed and Rocky.


"There's nothing in the past or before this, I'm only focused on being victorious on March 7."

Family and boxing go hand in glove for Robert and Ruben Guerrero
Feb 25, 2015 By Jason Scavone
There’s a long and occasionally contentious history of fathers training their sons in boxing. Books could be written about the relationship between Roy Jones Jr. and Sr. Shane Mosley fired his father, Jack, twice. For Robert and Ruben Guerrero, though, the seas that were stormy for others have been placid in Gilroy, California.

Ruben Guerrero helps his son, Robert, with his gloves while they train in Gilroy, California.


“It’s great training with my father. Just being there with him every day. Being able to win world championships with my father, it’s great,” the younger Guerrero said. “I love working with him all the time and just being with him all the time. It’s your father. You only have limited time with your parents. To have my father by my side with everything, it’s probably one of the biggest joys in my career.”

As Robert gets ready to face Keith Thurman at the Premier Boxing Champions debut on March 7 at MGM Grand Garden Arena, he’ll turn to his father for the steady guidance he’s been getting all his life.

Robert started hanging around the gym at 5 years old as Ruben was training his other sons how to box. Robert hung around, and hung around and hung around until Ruben started training him at the age of 9.

“He didn’t want to do no basketball, no football. He always wanted to be a boxer. He was natural,” Ruben said. “I didn’t have to worry about him coming to the gym. He was always in the gym.”

It’s a relationship and a closeness that hasn’t changed much over the years. When Robert gets up and wants to train, his father is there. When Robert wanted to incorporate CrossFit into his workout, Ruben eventually relented, despite his early skepticism. And when it comes time to lay down the discipline? Ruben is ready to bear down on his son.

“It’s about respecting each other and knowing my father is looking out for my best interests,” Robert said. “You’ve got to respect that and know it’s for your own good. He treats me like a man, not like I’m a kid. I am his son, but he treats me like a man. When it’s time to let me know I’ve got to do this or that, he’s stern about it and he’s on it all the time. It is great having your father there to kick you in the butt a little bit.”

That’s not to say there aren’t times they don’t butt heads. But whenever a disagreement flares up, it doesn’t last long. And the reason for that is simple.

“I’m the boss, I’m his dad,” Ruben said. “Whatever I say, goes. Even if I’m right or wrong, he still goes with me. He knows how I’ve been getting him there since he was a little kid. He appreciates what I’ve done for him.”
