Bernard Hopkins Makes History – Post Fight Recap & Quotes

Posted on | May 23, 2011 | No Comments

HBO Sports will air a replay of the May 21 World Championship Boxing telecast:
Tonight, Monday, May 23 (11:15 p.m.) on HBO.

Tomorrow night, Tuesday, May 24 (11:00 p.m.) on HBO2.
(Times are ET/PT)

 

Fight recap:

 

Sports history was made Saturday night when Bernard “The Executioner” Hopkins (52-5-2, 32 KO’s), at 46 years old, defeated 28-year-old former WBC and Ring Magazine Light Heavyweight World Champion Jean Pascal (26-2-1, 16 KO’s), making Hopkins the oldest fighter in boxing history to win a significant world title.  Not only did Hopkins take the belts from Pascal in front of 17,560 fans in his hometown of Montreal (an indoor boxing event record in Canada), but he defeated father time once again and solidified his place as one of the greatest athletes ever to compete over the age of 40.

 

With his unanimous decision victory, Hopkins became boxing’s oldest world champion, breaking George Foreman’s record, which was set 16 and half years ago.  Foreman, who was 45 when he knocked out Michael Moorer for the heavyweight title on November 5, 1994, was 192 days younger than Hopkins when he captured his title.

 

Hopkins displayed his excellent conditioning and ring fortitude throughout the bout and hammered the point home at the beginning of the seventh round, when while waiting for Pascal to leave his corner, Hopkins dropped to the canvas and started doing push-ups (click HERE to see push-up highlights).  According to the scorecards, that round went to Hopkins too.  It was a great night of boxing with a spectacular performance by the ageless wonder Bernard Hopkins.

 

 

Bernard Hopkins & George Foreman Post-Fight Quotes

Bernard Hopkins:

 

“[Beating the record] feels great.  I did exactly what I wanted to do, which was break this record.  I knew it was going to be a tough fight, but I wasn’t going to be denied.  You don’t get a chance to do this too often.  You are supposed to win titles when you are younger…in your twenties, not when you’re 46.

 

“I didn’t feel 46 tonight. I felt more like 36.

 

“I can say I am a great fighter.  It was exciting.  I think everybody enjoyed themselves.

 

“I have been accused of being boring, but I saved the best for last.  I am going to fight like this [with a more exciting style] as long as I am boxing.  I believe I am an entertainer.  When you are in your last performances, you give it all you’ve got.

 

“I want to box as well as I can, and I think there are still great fights to come before I leave this game.

 

“I give you breathtaking!

 

“I always fight with my heart, but I had to be careful too.  I knew this guy was dangerous.  He punched hard, but I knew I had to be strong too.  Like I said before, I saved the best for last and gave you a blockbuster performance.

 

“I am going to keep fighting like this until I leave this game and trust me, when I leave, I will not be punch drunk, beat up or broke.

 

“Be happy I am still here because one thing we can say is that I am not wasting anybody’s time.  I went in there with a guy who that is young enough to be my son.

 

“I don’t see anyone beating this strong bull from Canada.  Coming from a veteran, he shouldn’t load up on his punches.  He needs to take advice from this legend and not throw his punches so strongly.

 

“He is a tough kid and he hit me with some good shots, but I am in tremendous shape.

 

“I think Canada will welcome me back to fight [Lucian] Bute.  I want either Bute or [Chad] Dawson.

 

“This is in the top two moments of my career, right there alongside beating Felix Trinidad and the relevance of that.

 

“I showed him a little bit of Hearns, Wolcott and Ray Robinson, but mostly, I showed him me.

 

“Thanks to Golden Boy for getting this fight together after the first fight.  We had to deal with a couple of things that worked out for everybody, especially the fans which is very important.

 

“I would like to thank everybody in Canada that gave me the respect.  I hope it was what everyone wanted.

 

“He [Pascal] is a quality and respectful champion.  He will be one of the ones that will stay around for a long time if uses this education that he experienced tonight.

 

“I just felt that I had to show that guy [Pascal] that he was fading and I was growing stronger.  I wanted him to see me doing something crazy.  I am the king of mind games.  [On doing push-ups in his corner prior to round seven.]

 

“If I want to box until I am 50, I will as long as I come out unscathed.  I will fight as long as I am hungry.

 

“If I don’t win, this is over for me.  I know there is no tomorrow.  If I want to still box, I don’t want to embarrass myself.  I understand the stats are against me.  I had to put myself in a situation where I had to be near perfect.

 

“I want to thank everyone for enjoying history.

 

“I talked to George Foreman on the phone.  He said he might come out of retirement to break my record [laughs].

 

“If you thought tonight was something, you ain’t seen nothing yet.”

 

 

George Foreman’s Reaction:

 

“I was on the edge of my seat every round.  It was such an exciting fight.  Bernard was the better athlete, the smarter fighter and was in the better condition. Now that a 46 [year-old] has done it, next a 47[year-old], a 48[year-old], a 49[year-old] and a 50 [year-old] will do it, and if somebody does it at 60, then I’ll have to get back in there.
“Look, Hopkins did push-ups.  What great conditioning, and he did it in Pascal hometown.  Isn’t that something?  He was just so much better.  I’m happy for Hopkins and I’m happy for mature athletes.

 

“If my record goes down, you want to see it go down that way.  If it was the Olympics, Bernard gets the Gold Medal and breaks the record for the world championship.  This was the best I’ve seen Bernard take charge of the fight with a young strong champion like Pascal.  Long live the king.”

Nick Diaz Will Continue Mixed Martial Arts Career

Posted on | May 23, 2011 | 1 Comment

DON CHARGIN PRODUCTIONS

Northern California, May 23, 2011 – Mixed Martial Arts Champion, Nick Diaz will continue pursuing his Mixed Martial Arts career instead of professional boxing as it has been deemed that it be in Nick’s best interest to focus on his primary combat sport and profession. 

Team Diaz had contemplated transitioning over to the boxing world in a legitimate attempt to pursue a high-level boxing career. These discussions began in 2009 with long-time boxing promoter, Don Chargin and proceeded up until recent times.

 

Never before in the history of both sports had a pound-for-pound MMA combatant in his prime had the desire or been contractually free to attempt to transition over to boxing.

The landscape of Mixed-Martial Arts moves at a rapid pace and while Diaz’s chance to make history, becoming the first true cross-over MMA star to enter the boxing ring, an opportunity arose for Nick to make a different sort of history in his primary field of fighting.

 

Don Chargin states, “Nick is a good kid and a very exciting fighter.  Right now he has an opportunity of a lifetime as it pertains to his MMA career.  While I don’t doubt that Nick and his team were serious about taking the big step into boxing, it only makes sense for him to finish what he started and see how far he can go in MMA before he does anything in boxing.  It’s all about timing… we began these discussions over two years ago and nobody would have imagined the type of demand that there currently is for Nick as a mixed martial artist.”

 

Cesar Gracie (Nick’s manager) states, “There are some people that have said we were just posturing to go into professional boxing and they don’t understand that this thing is something we had been working on since 2009.  It wasn’t just out of nowhere but at this point in time, there’s a certain chance that comes along once in a very long while and it only makes sense to stick to MMA as of right now.  Nick’s been working really hard to get to this point in his MMA career and it wouldn’t make sense for us to make that transition into boxing right now.  If this were a couple months ago or if certain fights had played out differently, we’d definitely be ready to go into boxing, but that’s not how it played out.  Don Chargin is a great boxing promoter and he understood our dilemma completely and I thank him for that.”

 

While the intrigue for the proposed Nick Diaz-Jeff Lacy bout had drawn a massive amount of media interest in its rumored status, this type of cross-over match-up will have to take place at a later date.

 

Diaz’s MMA career will undoubtedly have some major changes within a short while as he’s ready to transition into the next phase of his fighting career.

 

Don Chargin continued, “I’ve had a long promotional career filled with numerous big events dating back the 1960s.  Taking Nick Diaz into boxing would have undoubtedly been a big one but this is Nick’s career and his legacy as a MMA fighter needs to be solidified now.  I wish him all the luck going forward and know that Zuffa will have itself one very exciting fighter for many years to come.”

Team Johnson Predicting Easy Night Against Froch

Posted on | May 23, 2011 | No Comments

froch_johnson_banner

 

 

“Training went very well and we’re putting on the finishing touches. The hard work is done.” Orlando Cuellar

 

Orlando Cuellar, trainer of Glen “Road Warrior” Johnson (51-14-2, 35 KOs) says he’s expecting an easy night when his fighter takes on WBC super middleweight champion Carl “Cobra” Froch.

 

Johnson and Froch will meet in the Super Six World Boxing Classic Semifinal at the Adrian Phillips Ballroom at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City on Saturday, June 4 and televised live on SHOWTIME Championship Boxing starting at 9 PM ET/PT (delayed on the west coast).

 

Johnson and Cuellar have been working together since 2003, when Johnson (then a full-time construction worker) surprisingly beat top contender Eric Harding for the USBA Light Heavyweight title. They have gone on to win the IBF title against Clinton Woods, knock out Roy Jones and beat Antonio Tarver, among others.

 

Cuellar says he knows his fighter, knows what he can do, and doesn’t see him having any problems against Froch.

 

“For us, Froch will be an easy fight. If Glen did as well as he did against Chad Dawson, we believe he should do very well against Froch. Froch isn’t as fast or mobile as Dawson. Glen has faster hands and feet. He has better body work and better defense. The only advantage Froch has is age and Glen has shown he’s only gotten better with age.”

 

Johnson, says Cuellar, is a natural super middleweight.

 

“This is our second training camp at 168 lbs and he’s a lot more used to it. The first time around was the first time in years he made 168 and we were all anxious to see how he would perform. This time around, we have the momentum from the previous fight and we realize how well what we did worked and we’re employing the same techniques. We’ve just made a few adjustments to the style of Froch. My mentality is if you can do it in training; you can do in the fight. Judging by that, we are expecting him to look very good. I’ve always believed Glenn would be at his best at super middleweight. He is going to be amazing on June 4.”

 

Having been together so long, Cuellar says he and the fighter have their routine down like clockwork. “He’s a low maintenance guy. Glen is an old-school fighter who works hard. He’s a real pro who is easy to work with. We do bag work, sparring, regular gym work and then we work on shots that our opponent may give up as far as holes on his defense. We explore ways we can confuse his defense and hit him with shots he doesn’t see coming.”

 

With thousands of fans coming all the way from Britain to watch their man Froch, Cuellar says they are in for a big disappointment. “The fight won’t go the distance. Glen will win by KO. I’m sure of it.”

Carl Froch vs. Glen Johnson is presented by DiBella Entertainment and Warriors Boxing, in association with Matchroom Sports and Caesars Atlantic City.

Tickets, priced at $300, $150, $100, and $50, can be purchased through the Boardwalk Hall ticket office and Ticketmaster. Tickets can be purchased online athttp://www.ticketmaster.com/, by phone at 1-800-745-3000, at any Ticketmaster retail outlet or in person at Boardwalk Hall box office.

I started boxing as a junior in Poland. There are many Boxing clubs in the town I used to box, there’s good condition for boxing where I lived.

Five years ago I came to England and started Boxing for English clubs. Then I start working for a White Collar Boxing club, City Boxer club. Then they offered me a boxing match and they said about professional boxing so I said yes, why not.

Then I met Garry (Janes), he’s my trainer and then we start working harder and harder and then I said yes why not and that’s how it happen.

It’s up to me, it’s in my hands so I now boxing in June at York Hall. What can I do, I’m ready for that.”

Marcin’s coach Garry Janes then added, “He was due to fight in March, we started training really properly around Christmas. Had a really nice build up to the fight and was ready to go  and unfortunately the fight didn’t happen, so we ticked over keeping him fit until we started building him up fro the June fight, so he’s super, super fit and ready to go.

Because he missed out on that fight we’re really keen for this fight.”

Marcin Marczak versus Bheki Moyo will feature on the undercard of Olivia Goodwin’s Main Events promoted ‘Search & Destroy’, double title headlined event will take place at the York Hall, Bethnal Green, London on Saturday 4th June 2011.
