As it became known AllBoxing.Ru, the Russian boxer Ruslan Provodnikov is regarded as one of the potential contenders for pound for pound best American Floyd Mayweather Jr. to fight, which is scheduled for September of this year and should be shown on Showtime PPV.  According to Ruslan AllBoxing.Ru manager Vadim Kornilov, “If such conversations do take place and, in his opinion, if a fight takes place, it will be just as entertaining and intriguing than the last fight Ruslan against American Timothy Bradley. "Of course we are interested in this fight - said in an interview with Vadim Kornilov on  AllBoxing.Ru. – “”herefore, if Floyd Mayweather will be the winner of a fight with Robert Guerrero, we are open to negotiations. I know very well Ruslan and I can confidently say that we dont avoid fights with the strongest contenders. He does not like to make loud statements and does not promise to beat all, knockout people or something like that. But, nevertheless, I want to remind you that few people gave him a chance to fight with one of the ten best P4P boxers in Timothy Bradley. What happened in the end - we've all seen. "
The manager does not believe that Ruslan will be a clear underdog in a fight with Mayweather, and, according to him, there is a compelling reason. "In the corner by Ruslan will be one of the best coaches and strategists of modern boxing Freddie Roach, and the whole training process is going to work with him one of the best teams in the world boxing - he recalled. - So my word that the fight with Mayweather can not get less entertaining and competitive than the fight with Timothy Bradley, who claimed this year's title of "Fight of the Year" is not mere statements, and knowledge of the situation from the inside. Ruslan is ready to give all of himself in training.  He is ready to show their best qualities in the ring.  He lives in boxing and will be incredibly motivated with the ability to fight the best boxers in the world. Give him the opportunity to fight the best, and he will use it one hundred percent. "

ZAB JUDAH & APRIL 27 UNDERCARD FIGHTERS MEDIA WORKOUT QUOTES

Former Two-Division World Champion Zab "Super" Judahworked out for the media on Tuesday in preparation for his fight against Unified Super Lightweight W orld Champion Danny Garcia this Saturday, April 27, live on SHOWTIME (9 p.m. ET/PT) from Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
Joining Judah at Judah Brothers Boxing Gym in Brooklyn on Thursday were top middleweight contender Danny Jacobs (24-1, 21 KO's), of Brooklyn and 2012 U.S. Olympian Marcus Browne (3-0, 3 KO's), of Staten Island, both of whom will be featured in non-televised undercard bouts.
One of New York's most accomplished boxers of all time, Brooklyn's Judah (42-7, 29 KO's) has faced some of the biggest names in boxing including Floyd MayweatherMiguel Cotto and Cory Spinks.  The southpaw will look to dethrone the defending champ with his signature blazing speed and one-punch knockout power in his hometown of Brooklyn. 
Philadelphia's Danny "Swift" Garcia (25-0, 16 KO's) was boxing's breakout star of 2012, registering two convincing and impressive victories over legendary Mexican Erik Morales and a stunning fourth round knockout win over British superstar former Unified Super Lightweight World Champion Amir "King" Khan
Immediately following Saturday's SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast will be a same-day-delayed telecast of SHOWTIME Boxing: Special Edition featuring Khan's first fight in England in nearly two years against former World Champion Julio "The Kidd" Diaz. Khan (27-3, 19 KO's), of Bolton, England, will face Diaz (40-7-1, 29 KO's), of Coachella, Calif., in a 12-round 143-pound catch-weight bout.
Here's what Judah, Jacobs and Browne had to say on Tuesday:
ZAB JUDAH, Former Two-Division World Champion
"First and foremost the most important thing is Saturday night.  It's not just about winning. This is New York.  This is Brooklyn.  New York fans are very tough.  They don't want you to just win by one point.  They want to see you really win.
How much did the fight postponement affect him: "Actually I think it was a blessing in disguise.  God is the best planner of everybody.  We think that we have plans, but apparently he plans better than us. I took training camp very seriously from November all the way up until now.  I think the extra preparation is the icing on the cake.
On defeating Danny Garcia to silence Angel Garcia: "It's called killing two birds with one stone.  Angel Garcia's a trainer.  He's a father.  He's the older man.  I respect my elders. At the same time, I can't get in the ring and fight Angel Garcia. What do I do? I fight.  I knock people out.  I can't do that with Angel.  I am going to knock Danny Garcia out and watch Angel come in there and pick him up.
On having his relationship with his dad: "It's going great. My dad has a business here in New York City.  I live in Las Vegas.  I've got businesses in Las Vegas, so we had to split up.  He's still my dad.  He calls me.  He even Skyped during my [camp] workout.  It's all great.  We're Team Judah today.
How he grades himself going into the fight: "Mentally and physically, I give myself an A plus.  I feel very calm, very at ease, very comfortable in this environment.  Everything seems to be working out the way that it should work out.  We ready for it.
On Danny Garcia: "There's no excuses.  We don't want to hear any excuses. We gave him his two months to let his rib heal up. His rib, neck, thumb, back, elbow, toe, whatever he hurt.  It's all fixed up now in hopes that Saturday night we just get moving and put on a good fight.
"Saturday night, may the best man win."
DANNY JACOBS, Top Middleweight Contender
On fighting again at Barclays Center: "It feels good, a little bit more pressure is off of me now.  The first time around was kind of special, so I was a little nervous, but I feel good now.  I feel confident.  My opponent is a last minute replacement, but at the same time we're going to go in there and do our job.
On how he'll top his last performance at Barclays: "I'm just going to go in there and not even think about it.  I'm just going to do what I was trained to do.  I have a job and my job is to go in there and get the victory by any means necessary.
On how he feels going into the fight: "Physically, I feel amazing.  I was training for February 9, so when that fell out, I took a week, maybe two weeks off and then I got back into the gym.  I've been ready for about two months.
On his future after the fight: "I'm looking to step up [my level of opposition].  I feel good.  I feel like the rush is out. I feel like stepping up.  The only way to get experience is to step up.
On his son coming to the fight: "Oh he's definitely going to be there in the front row screaming, 'Go Daddy, go.'  He's my biggest fan and he loves boxing.  He's just a fan of the sport and I love it.
On his four-month layoff: "Mentally, it messes with you just a little bit.  Once you train so hard, you have an eight-week camp and then that fight is off, it's tough because you have time away from your family.  I'm a professional, so this comes with the territory and I know I have a job to do on Saturday night."
MARCUS BROWNE, 2012 U.S. Olympian
On his relationship with Danny Jacobs: "Danny is like a big brother to me.  I love Danny. Being in the gym with him and working right next to him means a lot.  He showed me the way. It's a beautiful thing."
On which fighter he's looking forward to seeing on Saturday night: "It's crazy, butthere's a whole bunch.  I've seen Danny Jacobs come up and watched him in the gym.  I came up in the gym watching Zab.  He's the first lefty I knew about when I got first got into boxing.  He was one of my favorite fighters. When I was coming up he [Zab] knocked out Spinks for the title.
"Don't forget about the people suffering from Hurricane Sandy. Just because it's not in the news, it doesn't mean people are not still homeless."

Mike Tyson brings his one-man show to NJPAC




He is Mike Tyson onstage, performing the life story of Mike Tyson. But he is not that Mike Tyson, the former boxing heavyweight champion, ear-biter, convicted rapist, admitted drug addict and alleged wife abuser. The man with the infamous face tattoo, formerly known as Iron Mike.
"It's not about him no more," said Tyson, who brings his one-man autobiographical show "Mike Tyson: The Undisputed Truth" to the New Jersey Performing Arts Center on Thursday. "It's about a good guy now. It's not about that Iron guy. It's not about beating people's kids and biting ears and pushing broken bones in their nose into their brains. It's about love and happiness and understanding and education and growing and bonding with people you love that you never had a chance to bond with."
The show — directed by Spike Lee and written by Tyson's current wife, Lakiha "Kiki" Spicer — is about the life of Tyson, who plays himself but pretends that he is not.
"I'm very objective about it," he said. "I play it like I'm an actor portraying Mike Tyson's life. If I didn't do that, I'd be crying, feeling sorry for myself, thinking about my mother and how [messed] up I was. I would internalize it more than anything."
Some might consider the one-night appearance of the controversial figure to be something akin to a publicity stunt, a sideshow on the main stage. But NJPAC executive producer and vice president David Rodriguez says it has a legitimate place in the theater.

FLOYD "MONEY" MAYWEATHER & ROBERT "THE GHOST" GUERRERO QUOTES FROM BACK-TO-BACK MEDIA WORKOUTS IN LAS VEGAS Plus Mayweather Promotions Fighters J'Leon Love, Luis Arias & Badou Jack


FLOYD MAYWEATHER, Eight-Time and Five-Division World Champion
"I've got to give thanks to everybody; there are so many different sponsors, Corona, Valvoline, MGM Grand and so many other people that have supported me throughout the years, all my fans, the media, my followers on Twitter.  To SHOWTIME, CBS and all the other networks that have been showing love to me.
"SHOWTIME has let me do a lot of creative things.  '30 Days In May,' 'ALL ACCESS' and we have another documentary coming out on CBS.  I have a new relationship and a new marriage and I'm happy now.
"Freedom is very, very important.  You can be locked up and be rich, but it's just like being poor if you don't have freedom.  So, freedom is very, very important.  That's how I feel.
"I have another big fight on May 4th and it is against Robert Guerrero, 'The Ghost.'  This guy is very, very confident and he believes in himself.  We know he has only one loss, but they say a true champion can bounce back.
"It's obvious he did something right to get to this point.  It's obvious he did something right in the Andre Berto fight.  He dedicated himself to his craft, which is boxing.  He stayed focused and he listened to his corner.
"I want a fighter to come in confident.  We don't want the odds to be crazy, but the odds will always be crazy because I've proven myself over the years.  But we want a fighter like Robert Guerrero who's confident and believes in his skills.  Only thing that we [The Money Team] can do is push me to the limit and take me to that next level.  That's what it's about.
"Now he [Robert Guerrero] got the fight with me.  The game plan is to go out there, be smart and get the victory the best way I know how, continue to give the fans what they want to see, work hard and set record-breaking numbers.
"I'm a winner.  I like to perform.  I like to entertain and that's what it's about.  It's about going out and giving the fans what they want - excitement.
"I've faced every style so it's not hard for me to make an adjustment.  I just have to go out there and see my dad's game plan is going to be.
"Like I always say for every fight, everybody had a game plan.  All 43 of my opponents had a game plan and all 43 opponents came up short.  So, I could care less what my opponent has to say.  There isn't a blueprint on how to beat me.  No one has found a way to break the Mayweather code.
"Being a legend, wanting your name mentioned in the mix of other fighters' names, that's why I work so hard right now.  I've been fighting since 1987.  I've been a professional for 17 years.  I've been dedicated to my craft.
"I don't think the layoff will affect me.  My dad is back in my corner.  My dad is my lead trainer, but I'm also working with my uncle Roger.  The Mayweather family, as of right now, has good chemistry.
"Camp has gone tremendously.  My weight has already been made, and I'm ready to fight.  I feel good and, like I said, I couldn't do it without the support from the fans.  When I was locked away, the fans wrote me letters and sent cards and I really appreciated that.
"This is world championship boxing and it's always blood, sweat and tears.  It's not a sport if there isn't blood, sweat and tears.  I'm happy that my dad is back in my camp and we're going strong.  It's good working with him.  If we have a problem and we're not seeing eye-to-eye, we pull each other to the side, talk about it and we get on the same page."
ROBERT GUERRERO, Six-Time and Four-Division World Champion
"My lucky number is 44.  So you know, I'm ready to go.  I'm excited and I've worked hard for this.  I've worked hard to be in this position.  God has blessed me with a lot.  I'm ready.  I've had the right fights to be here.  I've been built up the right way.  I'm ready to go.  I feel ready.  I had two good fights as a welterweight weight class before this.  It was what I needed to break into the weight class.
"You've got to be ready to do everything [when fighting Floyd Mayweather].  People say you need to have an A, B and C game plan, but with Floyd, you need an A to Z game plan.  You've got to be ready for whatever because Floyd is the type of guy that makes adjustments here and there and he makes it tough for fighters to get in there with him.  You've got to be ready to make those adjustments; we've been practicing a lot of stuff.  Our game plan is to go out there and be 100 percent ready and be able to make those adjustments.  Throughout my career everybody has seen that I've been able to make adjustments.
"For a lot of guys, Floyd gets into their head and he frustrates them.  They lose their game plan.  That game plan goes out the door.  That being said, you also have to be able to execute a game plan and a lot of these guys know what they need to do, but they don't have the ability to do it.
"You've got to go in there and fight an intelligent fight with Floyd.  He is a very sharp guy, a very smart guy in the ring.  That is why he is 43-0.  It's about being smart, using your head in the ring and maintaining your game plan.
"My wife's battle with cancer really made me grow as a man.  It makes you mentally strong.  She is fighting for her life.  Being a caretaker makes you a mentally strong person.  That is why I laugh when you say this is just a fight compared to that because it is.  It's just a fight.  That is one of the things that I learned from her whole fight with cancer.  Being mentally strong, being able to hold it together and pushing through is what counts.
"[When asked if the pressure will affect him] I laugh because it is laughable.  To have people ask me questions and this and that, that isn't pressure at all.  Raising two kids and having a wife dying from cancer, now that's pressure.  So this is no problem.  This just comes with the territory and you've got to do it to take care of business."
LEONARD ELLERBE, CEO of Mayweather Promotions
"Mayweather vs. Guerrero is the biggest fight of the year.  Everyone is excited, and we want the fans to be engaged. It's going to be a great, great fight.
"I think he [Guerrero] put himself in this position by beating a very good fighter in Andre Berto.  It was a very exciting fight and he proved that he could fight Floyd. I think he put himself in the position where he became more than a viable opponent. He became 'the guy.'
"It doesn't matter what the manager says and it doesn't matter what the promoter says.  It will be up to the fighters come May 4th.
"He's [Floyd Mayweather] a lot more laid back, and he values freedom.  Having been incarcerated was definitely a life-changing experience for him.  It was something he hadn't experienced before.  No one wants to be in that situation.  There's nothing to prepare you for something like that.  The environment and conditions he was placed in made it tough.  But that's behind him.  He did his time and it's time to move on."
RICHARD SCHAEFER, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions
"It's a Mayweather fight and a Mayweather fight is the Super Bowl of boxing.
"A Mayweather fight means a sold out venue and great buzz in Las Vegas.  It's going to be one of those nights when The Money Team will show up against Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero.
"Robert Guerrero has moved up several weight classes and is always perceived as the little guy, but he is bigger than Mayweather.  He has a height advantage on him.
"Guerrero is one of the most underrated fighters.  When this fight was made, he was a nine to one underdog, and I checked yesterday and now he's a four to one [underdog].  As people get to know Robert Guerrero, through the CBS exposure and the pay-per-view promotion, etc., I think people are starting to realize that there is a reason Robert Guerrero hasn't lost in almost several years.
"I have no doubt that Guerrero is the most dangerous opponent that Mayweather has faced in a long time."
"Robert hasn't really lost since 2008 and the one loss he has, the only loss on his record, was against a guy who we found out later was on performance enhancing drugs.  They had a rematch and he  [Guerrero] stopped him inside of three rounds.
"Robert really is undefeated.  He has the size advantage.  He has the youth, and for those people who watched his fight against Berto, they could see how remarkably he was able to take Berto's punches.  Berto is one of the toughest, hardest punching guys in the 147-pound weight class.  He is a natural 147-pounder and Robert just walked through him.  That just shows you how tough he is.
"Now if Guerrero is able to take Berto's shots, how can Floyd Mayweather possibly hurt him?  If you can't hurt Robert Guerrero, then he is going to be coming all night long, and it is going to be a long night for Floyd Mayweather.
"I know it is going to be a great fight because Robert is coming to fight.  He has wanted this fight for so long.  Over the last three or four years they [Team Guerrero] kept saying to me, 'I want Mayweather.  I want Mayweather.'  So finally it is here.  Two weeks to go.  Robert Guerrero is motivated. 
"He [Guerrero] isn't just fighting for himself, but he is doing it for all the cancer survivors as well.  He's getting tremendous support from the Christian community as well.
"Of course Floyd Mayweather is in a class of his own.  He's undefeated and pound-for-pound the best fighter and as he always says, '43 have tried and 43 have failed and this is going to be number 44.'  So we'll see.''
J'LEON LOVE, Rising Middleweight Star
"Having Floyd [Mayweather] as a mentor and seeing him train in the gym everyday is such a special opportunity for a young fighter like myself.  He is the best in boxing and just being around him and watching him train the way that he does has already taught me a lot.
 "I'm ready to go on May 4th and I'm so grateful to Mayweather Promotions for giving me the opportunity to open the pay-per-view portion of the event.  I've been training hard.  I'm prepared to go in there against Gabriel Rosado and give it my all.
"I don't take anything for granted.  I feel this is a moment in my career that I will remember for a long time and I'm looking forward to showing Floyd and boxing fans worldwide that they can count on me to become a world champion in the near future."
BADOU JACK, Top Light Heavyweight Prospect
"Eddie [Mustafa Muhammad] is a great trainer.  He's like a father figure to me.  He's like family.  He's a great motivator, so having him in my corner makes me very confident.
"He [Floyd Mayweather] is one of the greatest fighters of our era, so it is a great feeling for a guy like that to have your back."
LUIS ARIAS, Top Super Middleweight Prospect
"Camp is going really well.  I'm definitely excited.  Obviously this is a huge platform for me and a great opportunity for me.  It's an exciting part of my life to be only 4-0 and be fighting on such a big stage, but I'm ready.
"I'm young and I'm hungry. This is what I wanted.
"Sparring with Floyd is an unbelievable thing.  My confidence is at an all time high."

Mexican American, Mauricio "El Maestro" Herrera in a special edition of Friday Fight Night on ESPN2 - Thursday, May 2nd. kicking off the Cinco De Mayo weekend. Also, their will be a replay on Friday May 3rd at 6pm EST



On Thursday night May 2nd, Banner Promotions and Thompson Boxing Promotions will present a special night of boxing that will originate from The Omega Products International, located at 1681 California Avenue in Corona, California and will be televised as a special edition of ESPN’s Friday Night Fights.

In the ten round main event, Mauricio Herrera will take on the exciting
Ji-Hoon Kim in a Jr. Welterweight bout.

Herrera of Riverside, California has a record of 18-3 with 7 knockouts and has some solid wins on his resume. The thirty-two year old won his first eleven bouts which included wins over Alan Velasco (8-1-2); Daniel Cervantes (10-0-1); Santiago Perez (10-1-2); Pavel Miranda (16-2) before winning the WBC USNBC Jr. Welterweight title with a 10 round unanimous decision over Luis Alfredo Lugo. He made one defense of that crown, as well as a win over current world ranked Cleotis Pendarvis before suffering his first loss to former world champion Mike Anchondo. Herrera went on to win five in a row which included a split decision over previously undefeated and world ranked Ruslan Provodnikov. Herrera is looking to get back in the win column after losing a ten round unanimous decision to undefeated Karim Mayfield on October 27th, 2012 on HBO Boxing After Dark.

Kim, of Goyang City, South Korea, has a record of 24-8 with 18 knockouts and is currently ranked 14th by the IBF at Lightweight. He began his career at the age of 17 in 2004 and had his first eighteen fights staged in South Korea. While in South Korea, Kim captured The South Korean and PABA Featherweight titles. Kim made a huge splash in his American debut as he stopped former world title challenger Kobo Gogaladze in one round on May 16th, 2008. Kim then split his time between South Korea and the United States before winning an IBF Lightweight elimination bout against Ameth Diaz. The win set up a world title opportunity, as he fought a terrific fight before dropping a unanimous decision to Miguel Vazquez for the vacant IBF Lightweight world title.

Kim has seen his popularity grow due to his all action style, has been featured on ESPN’s Friday Night Fight’s and has appeared in many “Fight of the Year” candidates. Kim has picked quality wins over Yakubu Amidu (20-2-1) and previously undefeated Alisher Rahimov (23-0). Kim is coming off a ten round unanimous decision defeat to world ranked Ray Beltran on December 6th, 2012 in a bout where Kim knocked Beltran down in round one.

In the co-feature, former world Lightweight champion Miguel Acosta will take on Miguel Gonzalez in a bout scheduled for ten rounds.

Acosta of Caracas, Venezuela has a record of 29-6-2 with 23 knockouts. Acosta won the WBA Interim Lightweight title with a 9th round stoppage over previously undefeated Urbano Antillon (26-0) on July 25th, 2009. He won the full title when he stopped Paulus Moses (25-0) in Moses’ home country of Namibia on May 29, 2010. Acosta performed well before being stopped in 10 rounds to eventual world champion Brandon Rios. Acosta got another crack at the WBA interim title but lost a twelve round unanimous decision to Richar Abril. Acosta is coming off a ten round split decision defeat to then undefeated Art Hovhannisyan (14-0-2) on July 20, 2012.

Gonzalez of Cleveland, Ohio has a record of 20-3 with 15 knockouts. The twenty-seven year old Gonzalez is a rising prospect as he continues to step up the competition and has quality wins over the likes of Tyrone Harris (24-7) and Humberto Toledo (39-6). He is coming off a ten round unanimous decision defeat to highly regarded Mike Dallas Jr. on February 17th, 2012.

“This will be an exciting doubleheader on May 2nd”, said Banner Promotions CEO Arthur Pelullo.
“Herrera and Kim can get right back in the title mix with a win and the opening bout features Acosta who is a former world champion taking on Gonzalez, who with a win can throw his name in the middle of the Lightweight title picture”.

“We’re excited to host this special edition of ESPN Friday Night Fights Boxing on a Thursday night. We’re especially enthused to feature our very own, Riverside’s junior welterweight slugger Mauricio Herrera in a tough competition against South Korea’s Ji-Hoon Kim. I have no doubt that these two warriors will leave it all in the ring and give the viewing fights fans everything they expect to see and even more! The entire fight card will be an exciting one so the local boxing aficionados that will be in attendance are in for a turbulent treat!” said Ken Thompson of Thompson Boxing.

Other exciting fights featuring fighters from the local area and will complete the card, including Hector Serrano of Perris, California Xavier Montelongo Jr., Christian Navarro, Richard Contreras and Joshua Conley.
