LIVE SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING TELECAST
Since the beginning of their professional careers,Paulie "The Magic Man" Malignaggi and Adrien "The Problem" Broner, two of the biggest talkers in all of boxing, have never been afraid to speak up.  Now, the time has come to put up or shut up as Malignaggi will defend his WBA Welterweight World Championship against undefeated Two-Division World Champion Broner on Saturday, June 22 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn in a SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® main event.  Plus, the heavyweight rematch the world has been waiting for is set as Johnathon Banks will look to repeat his 2012 upset win over Seth "Mayhem" Mitchell in the co-feature for Banks' NABO and WBC International Heavyweight titles.
 
Malignaggi vs. Broner, a 12-round fight for Malignaggi's WBA Welterweight World Championship is promoted by Golden Boy Promotions and sponsored by Corona and AT&T with Banks vs. Mitchell being presented in association with K2 Promotions.  The SHOWTIME Championship Boxing telecast begins at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT (delayed on the West Coast).  SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® is available in Spanish on secondary audio programming (SAP).  Preliminary fights will air on SHOWTIME EXTREME at 7:00 p.m. ET/PT (delayed on the West Coast).


"This fight was the main motivation for winning my second world championship last year," said Malignaggi.  "I wanted be in a huge main event at Barclays Center.  This is a blockbuster event and I can't wait to make a successful title defense in Brooklyn where my roots are."

"Paulette better be in some shape," said Broner.  "On June 22, I will be a three-time world champion in three weight classes at just 23-years-old."

"I feel very good about this fight," said Banks.  "I expect a more determined and a more powerful Seth Mitchell for the rematch and I look forward to the challenge on June 22nd.  I'm excited to be fighting and intend to put on a terrific performance for those in attendance at Barclays Center as well as those watching on SHOWTIME."

"I'm excited about my opportunity to rematch Johnathon Banks on June 22 at Barclays Center," said Mitchell.  "I was disappointed with my last performance against him and look forward to meeting him in the ring once again.  My team has been working extremely hard in preparation for this fight.  I'm confident that my performance on June 22nd will properly showcase my abilities and will reignite talks of me competing for the heavyweight championship of the world."

"Once again, we're looking forward to bringing a blockbuster fight to Brooklyn at Barclays Center," said Oscar De La Hoya, President of Golden Boy Promotions.  "Paulie Malignaggi is the type of fighter that is not going to let anyone take his belt from him on his home turf, but he has his work cut out for him against one of the most talented fighters in the sport in undefeated rising superstar Adrien 'The Problem' Broner.  Add in the rematch between Johnathon Banks and Seth Mitchell and it's safe to say that the fireworks will be flying a few weeks before the Fourth of July."
"All of us at the network are thrilled to have Adrien in his SHOWTIME debut, especially in a tough fight against the very smart and crafty world champion Paulie Malignaggi," said Stephen Espinoza, Executive Vice President and General Manager, SHOWTIME Sports.  "When this fight first came available, I jumped at the chance to have it on SHOWTIME.  This fight was one of the most talked about match ups of the year before it was even announced."
"We are proud to host Brooklyn's own Paulie Malignaggi for his second fight at Barclays Center," said Brett Yormark, CEO of Barclays Center and the Brooklyn Nets.  "Paulie is a true pro at captivating audiences with his quick boxing skills, flashy style and invigorating personality.  He is Brooklyn.  While Paulie will certainly be the crowd favorite, we expect Adrien Broner to give him a great fight in what is sure to be another memorable night of championship boxing at Barclays Center."

"All of us at the network are thrilled to have Adrien Broner in his SHOWTIME debut, especially in a tough fight against the very smart and crafty world champion Paulie Malignaggi," said Stephen Espinoza, Executive Vice President and General Manager, SHOWTIME Sports.  "When this fight first came available, I jumped at the chance to have it on SHOWTIME.  This fight was one of the most talked about match ups of the year before it was even announced."
 One of Brooklyn's favorite fighting sons, Paulie Malignaggi (32-4, 7 KO's) is a two-division world champion known for his lighting fast hands and even faster mouth. He first made his mark in the 140-pound weight class when he defeated Lovemore N'dou in 2007 for the IBF crown.  In 2010, Malignaggi made the move up to welterweight and in April 2012 he captured the WBA welterweight title, traveling to the Ukraine to stop Vyacheslav Senchenko in his hometown.  He has defended his belt once thus far, decisioning Pablo Cesar Cano at Barclays Center last October.  Also well known for his role as color commentator on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING, the 32-year-old who has faced the likes of Miguel Cotto, Ricky Hatton, Amir Khan and Juan Diaz, will look to stop the rise of Adrien Broner a few miles from his home in Brooklyn.
At 23 years old, Adrien Broner (26-0, 22 KO's) has captivated the boxing world with his work inside the ring and flashy charisma outside of it.  Unbeaten as a pro, with a skill set that allows him to box or bang, and possessing a warrior's attitude and heart, Broner won the WBO junior lightweight title in 2011 with a third round knockout of Vicente Martin Rodriguez.  After knockouts of Eloy Perez and Vicente Escobedo, he moved up to 135 pounds, winning the WBC title with a thoroughly dominating eighth round technical knockout of Antonio DeMarco last November.  Most recently, Broner stopped Gavin Rees in five rounds in February, and on June 22, he will make the leap from 135 to 147 pounds to challenge "The Magic Man."  Should he win, he will join Roberto Duran, Roy Jones Jr. and Robert Guerrero as the only fighters to win a world championship in their first fight after jumping a weight class.
The owner of one of boxing's most inspirational stories, Johnathon Banks (29-1-1, 19 KO's) captured the hearts of fight fans last fall.  Shortly after the death of his mentor and trainer, Emanuel Steward, Banks took over for the legendary Hall of Famer as the trainer of Heavyweight World Champion Wladimir Klitschko in his title defense win over Mariusz Wach in November.  A week later, the 30-year-old from Detroit stepped into the ring himself, and stunned the boxing world with his second round technical knockout win over Mitchell.  On June 22, he'll look to do it again.
Seth "Mayhem" Mitchell (25-1-1, 19 KO's) is eager for the opportunity to avenge his only pro loss when he faces Banks at the end of June.  A former standout Michigan State University linebacker, Mitchell tore through his opposition in the boxing ring for over four years, most notably beating Taurus Sykes, Timur Ibragimov, and Chazz Witherspoon, all by knockout.  Now he'll have to show the resilience of a champion as he attempts to even the score on June 22.
A full undercard will be announced shortly.

DANNY GARCIA, WBA Super, WBC and Ring Magazine Super Lightweight World Champion
On how he feels going into the fight:  "I feel great and 100 percent ready.  I'm motivated, hungry and sharp.  I'm focused and I'm ready to go in there on April 27 and put on a tremendous show.
"I don't need negativity to motivate me.  I'm a positive person.  Negativity doesn't motivate me.  I'm motivated by positive things'
On fighting at Barclays Center: "I'm ready to take over Brooklyn.
On Philly fans coming to the fight: "I guarantee I have more fans than Zab has coming to the fight.
On training camp: "My training camp was perfect.  I think it was the best training camp I've ever had.  Everything was on point...sparring, running, training, conditioning.  Everything went perfect."
PETER QUILLIN, WBO Middleweight World Champion
On being a middleweight: "I'm just very blessed to be able to be part of a division that is always an attractive weight class.  The middleweights, you've got the speed and then you have the power.  It's like 50/50.  It's an action-packed weight class.  I just want to make sure that when I go out there, I'm adding my own part of history to that.
On how Guerrero stacks up to other opponents he's faced: "Guerrero deserves a shot at the belt.  It's something he worked for all his life, just like I did.  Nobody's going to come here and beat me.  I already know I can put in a hard 12 rounds.  This time, I got the best that money can buy.  I got the best trainers and the best camp.  This has by far been the best camp in my whole professional career.  I know I'm well prepared and I'm ready.  I'm keeping this belt in New York City.
On fighting Guerrero: "For the opportunity that he got, it's something that he's got to take in and know that it's right there in front on him.  If he's not prepared fighting a guy like me, it's going to show right away.  We can be friends outside of the ring, but as soon as we step in the ring, no more friendship.
On the biggest challenger to his title: "I welcome all challengers, but I know there isn't a middleweight like me.  I'm the best in the world.  I look in the mirror and see myself and say, 'even he can't beat me.'  I know what I'm doing outside of the ring is helping me to be a better fighter in the ring.  That being said, let them all come."
FERNANDO GUERRERO, Hard-Hitting, World-Ranked Contender
On the delay of the fight:  "You've got to be ready for everything in the boxing world.  We're so used to it, dating to even in the amateurs.  Until you're in the ring, the fight might not happen, and even when you're in the ring, the opponent might not show up.  For me it's just that experience.  You live it and you make the best out of it, and I surely do.
On what he'll bring to the ring to get a win: "Explosion.  We've got to bring that smart, we've got to bring that power and we've got to bring that hunger.  It's better shown in the ring.  I'm not just excited for the fight. I want people to know what I can do.
On how many fans he's expecting at Barclays Center:  "When I packed the house in Maryland (for a fight against Derrick Findley in Salisbury), I expected one person to be there, my father, but thousands were there.  (This fight) I'm expecting maybe two people.  We'll see how many people come and show up.
On acting like a gentleman at press events: "I can only be me.  If I feel the need to cuss, I'll probably do it, if I feel the need to not cuss, I probably won't do it.  I don't try to sell fights.  The fights should be able to sell themselves.  I try to sell myself as the person that I am.
On how this is different than his other fights: "I'm expecting a lot out of myself.  I'm going to try and push myself harder, mentally and physically.  I want to impress myself, I want to develop."
ZACHARY OCHOA, Undefeated Brooklyn Light Heavyweight
On his fight prediction: "My prediction is, I box my way to a knock out.
"I want to say thank you to Golden Boy Promotions and SHOWTIME for giving me the opportunity to fight on this card.  It's great for me to show my talent and show the world what I'm working with."

Ruslan Provodnikov is seen as a future rival Floyd Mayweather Jr.


(Photo of Floyd Money Mayweather By: Keisha Morrisey)
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. "

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."
