MIGUEL “SILKY SMOOTH” GONZALEZ LOOKING FOR A CRAWFORD SHOWDOWN


Fresh off his eighth round stoppage over Josenilson Dos Santos on July 26th, Lightweight contender Miguel Gonzalez would like to reacquaint himself with amateur rival Terrance Crawford this fall.
Gonzalez (22-3, 16 KO’s) of Cleveland, Ohio was very impressive in his victory over Dos Santos which was his second consecutive win on ESPN’s Friday Night Fights.
“It was a tough fight with a tough guy”, said the 27 year-old Gonzalez.
“I was mentally and physically prepared for the fight and you saw the results”.
Gonzalez believes he is finally on the right course to become a world champion.
“It was supposed to be like this.  I am good at the sport and my confidence is there.  I am supposed to win and have been doing it for a long time.  I am nowhere near finished and the grind doesn’t stop.  I know what to expect when I go to camp and I will keep progressing”.
Gonzalez would like a shot at Crawford, who has an HBO date on October 5th and with the wins over Dos Santos and former world champion Miguel Acosta, Gonzalez believes he is qualified as anybody to deserve the opportunity to unseat the undefeated Crawford.
Gonzalez and Crawford have a history as they competed as amateurs with Crawford winning a controversial decision.
The fight took place in the United States Championships.
“I was up the whole fight and for some reason I was deducted a point in the last 15 seconds and that point was the difference as lost because of it by that one point”.
“We then fought in the Olympic trials and I beat him so I was satisfied with that”.
Gonzalez now would like a rubber match but this time in the pro ranks with the rising Lightweight contender from Nebraska.
“He is a talented boxer and it would be a great fight but I have the heart, style and desire to destroy him and I want the opportunity to prove it”.
Crawford’s television date is scheduled to take place on October 5th at the co-feature to the Miguel Cotto – Delvin Rodriguez Jr. Middleweight clash in Orlando, Florida.
“Orlando is a great Boricua community; I think that would be the perfect place for me for that fight to happen”.
“I want to thank my trainer Mike Stafford and Levi Smith and I can’t wait to perform again”.
Said Gonzalez’co-Promoter Arthur Pelullo of Banner Promotions, “Miguel has fought two very good fights back to back and he did it on the national stage.  We are very pleased with his progress and hope to have him in a big fight real shortly”.

UNDEFEATED JR. MIDDLEWEIGHT FRANK “NOTORIOUS” GALARZA JOINS “FIGHT FOR PEACE” WILL RETURN TO THE RING ON SEPTEMBER 21ST AT RESORTS WORLD CASINO IN QUEENS, NY

One of New York City’s fastest rising and exciting Junior-Middleweight prospects, Frank ‘Notorious’ Galarza, is now a proud member of the ‘Fight for Peace’ organization. Fight for Peace is a non-profit organization, that was founded by Luke Dowdney in 2000. This unique program has blended boxing, education, and youth services, to help promote peace and personal development to young children living in environments of poor social and economic backgrounds.
On August 10, Galarza will be embarking on a one week trip to Fight for Peace’s home-base, Brazil, to learn the organization values and practices. He will be bringing with him his own personal knowledge of dealing with hardships, as well as his boxing skill and most of all, his charisma which has made him one of New York’s best ticket sellers. Galarza will be dealing personally with some of Brazil’s most at-risk youth, and he plans on using what he has learned, to establish a Fight for Peace base in his native Brooklyn, NY at the Starrett City Boxing Club. “Before you become a champion inside the ring, you have to be one outside the ring.” Stated Galarza, “I’m extremely excited to be part of the Fight for Peace team. I am looking forward to going to Brazil and being an ambassador of not only boxing, but peace. This experience will definitely teach me so much, and I plan on implementing this program here in Brooklyn.”
No stranger to giving back, Galarza is in the process of setting up his own non-profit organization, “Fighting Forward”.  Not to be lost in his admirable work outside the ring, ‘Notorious’ is quick to point out that boxing is where his mind is at, at all times. “My training and boxing is still priority number 1. We resumed training immediately after my last victory, and my next match is September 21. I plan on staying undefeated, and rising up the ranks. I am blessed to have a great team around me who support my efforts with Fight for Peace, and they have been behind me 100%.”
Frank Galarza (10-0-2) will be competing on September 21 in an 8 round junior-middleweight match at the Resorts World Casino in Queens, NY. An opponent has yet to be named. Galarza is promoted by New Legend Boxing, Old World Boxing and WON Promotions. He is managed by A.J. Galante. For more information on Frank Galarza and future events, email eliteboxing@verizon.net

"THE ONE" PPV CARD IS COMPLETE WITH A WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP FIGHT BETWEEN ISHE SMITH AND CARLOS MOLINA & WELTERWEIGHT CONTEST FEATURING PABLO CESAR CANO AGAINST ASHLEY THEOPHANE

"THE ONE" PPV CARD IS COMPLETE WITH A WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP FIGHT BETWEEN ISHE SMITH AND CARLOS MOLINA & WELTERWEIGHT CONTEST FEATURING PABLO CESAR CANO AGAINST ASHLEY THEOPHANE


"THE ONE" PAY-PER-VIEW CARD IS COMPLETE WITH A WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP FIGHT BETWEEN ISHE SMITH AND CARLOS MOLINA PLUS A WELTERWEIGHT CONTEST FEATURING PABLO CESAR CANO AGAINST ASHLEY THEOPHANE
LIVE ON SHOWTIME PPV®AT 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT

Just when fight fans thought "THE ONE: MAYWEATHER VS. CANELO" couldn't get any bigger, the opening two Pay-Per-View bouts of the September 14 mega-card at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas have been announced, with a third world championship bout and a meeting of two rising stars making this the must-see event of 2013.

In a 12-round battle for the IBF Junior Middleweight World Championship, Mayweather Promotions star and Las Vegas' own Ishe "Sugar Shay" Smith defends his crown for the first time against feared top contender Carlos Molina. The opening bout on the SHOWTIME PPV will be a 10-round welterweight showdown between Mexico's Pablo Cesar "El Demoledor" Cano and England's Ashley "Treasure" Theophane, the most recent fighter to sign with Mayweather Promotions.

"THE ONE: MAYWEATHER VS. CANELO," a 12-round fight for Canelo's WBC, WBA and Ring Magazine Super Welterweight World Championships and Mayweather's WBA Super Welterweight Super World Championship taking place Saturday, Sept. 14 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, is promoted by Mayweather Promotions, Golden Boy Promotions and Canelo Promotions and sponsored by Corona, O'Reilly Auto Parts, AT&T, Valvoline, Mexico Tourism, Fred Loya Insurance and Nature Nutrition. In the 12-round co-featured attraction, WBC, WBA Super and Ring Magazine Super Lightweight World Champion Danny Garcia and thunderous puncher WBC Interim Super Lightweight World Champion Lucas Matthysse square off in a fight presented in association with Swift Promotions and Arano Box Promotions.  Also, Ishe Smith vs. Carlos Molina square off in a 12-round battle for Smith's IBF Junior Middleweight World Title. Smith vs. Molina is promoted in association with Warriors Boxing. The mega-event will be produced and distributed live by SHOWTIME PPV® beginning at 9:00 p.m. ET/6:00 p.m. PT. The event can be heard in Spanish using secondary audio programming (SAP).
After a long career that saw him go from the world of reality television as a star on "The Contender" to a series of ups and downs at 154 and 160 pounds, Las Vegas' Ishe "Sugar Shay" Smith (25-5, 11 KO's) finally put it all together in late 2010, beginning a four fight winning streak that culminated in a 12 round decision win over Cornelius Bundrage on February 23 earning the 34-year-old the IBF Junior Middleweight World Championship. Now the reign of "Sugar Shay" begins with a hometown bout against the always-tough Molina.
Long avoided by the elite at 154 pounds, Patzcuaro, Mexico native Carlos Molina (21-5-2, 6 KO's) is finally getting his shot at championship gold on September 14 after a decade slugging it out in the ring. Now making his home in Chicago, the 30-year-old Molina began making noise with his disputed draw against Erislandy Lara in 2011, and he has since won four of five bouts, defeating former world champions Kermit Cintron and Cory Spinks, with his only loss coming via controversial DQ against James Kirkland in March of 2012.
Mexico's Pablo Cesar "El Demoledor" Cano (26-3-1, 20 KO's), like countryman and headliner Canelo Alvarez, will have a nation in his corner when he steps between the ropes on September 14. Given the controversial nature of his recent decision losses to Paulie Malignaggi and Shane Mosley, the 23-year-old plans on giving the judges the night off by scoring a defining knockout of Theophane. A pro since 2006, Cano can do it all in the ring, and in his first Las Vegas fight since his classic 2011 battle with the legendary Erik Morales, he vows to put on a show. 
A proud native of London, England, 32-year-old Ashley "Treasure" Theophane (33-5-1, 10 KO's) is a graduate of the School of Hard Knocks in the ring and is finally getting his chance to shine on the world stage. A former British junior welterweight champion, the talented Theophane owns victories over Delvin Rodriguez and DeMarcus Corley, and he gave current world champion Danny Garcia one of his toughest fights in 2010 before losing a split decision. Winner of two straight, Theophane is looking to prove that he was made for the bright lights of Las Vegas.

Juan Reyes vs. Jonathan Arellano Inland Empire Clash Highlights "New Blood" Friday, Aug. 23, 2013 Omega Products Outdoor Arena, Corona, CA

Thompson Boxing Promotions anticipates another stellar night of boxing with its "New Blood" series featuring quick-moving featherweights Juan Reyes (9-1-1, 1 KO) of Riverside, Calif. and Jonathan Arellano (13-2-1, 3 KOs) of Ontario, Calif. The 8-round bout is set for Friday, Aug. 23, from the Omega Products Outdoor Arena in Corona, Calif. Reyes, looking to make it six straight victories against the more experienced Arellano, will rely on his ringmanship to produce his tenth professional victory.



"This is a big step for me," said Reyes, referring to his first professional fight scheduled for eight rounds. "I like the idea of having my first ever chance to be on a Thompson Boxing main event, it provides me with a new challenge.  I'm excited to take the next step in my professional career."

The co-main event showcases the much heralded and undefeated middleweight Colombian prospect Alex Theran (14-0, 8 KOs) taking on Justin Williams (4-8-2, 2 KOs) of New Orleans, La., in an 8-round fight. Theran, like Reyes, is promoted by Thompson Boxing Promotions and is coming off a 6-round unanimous decision victory over Juan Carlos Rojas (5-6, 0 KOs) on Friday, July 26.

"I won every round on all three judges scorecards in my fight against Rojas, but that doesn't mean it was easy," Theran said. "He was strong and had a solid chin, which made him a tough out. I like having back-to-back fights because it keeps me sharp.  I am learning a lot here in California under trainer Danny Zamora and I love to stay busy.  I will be ready for whatever Williams brings to the ring."

Mares vs. Gonzalez; Saturday, August 24 at StubHub Center in Carson, Calif. The event is promoted by Golden Boy Promotions, sponsored by Corona and AT&T and will be televised live on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING®

Mares vs. Gonzaleza 12-round fight for Mares' WBC Featherweight World Championship, will take place on Saturday, August 24 at StubHub Center in Carson, Calif.  The event is promoted by Golden Boy Promotions, sponsored by Corona and AT&T and will be televised live on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® beginning at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT.  Also featured will be a 12-round world championship showdown between WBC Super Bantamweight World Champion Victor Terrazas and former IBF Bantamweight World Champion Leo Santa Cruz.  SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING is available in Spanish using secondary audio programming (SAP).  Mares vs. Gonzalez is presented in association with Promociones Del Pueblo.  Preliminary fights will air on SHOWTIME EXTREME®.
The newest member of boxing's pound for pound fraternity, Hawaiian Gardens, California's Abner Mares (26-0-1, 14 KO's) earned his spot there the hard way, battling through adversity and some of the best fighters in the world over the last eight years.  A member of the 2004 Mexican Olympic team who originally hails from Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, Mares won his first world title in 2011 when he defeated Joseph Agbeko for the IBF Bantamweight World Championship.  Mares won the WBC Super Bantamweight World Championship against Eric Morel less than a year later and, in May of 2013, the 27-year-old knocked out Daniel Ponce De Leon, capturing the WBC Featherweight World Championship.  On August 24, he will look to add to his already stellar resume by defending his belt against Gonzalez. 
A knockout puncher who has struck fear into the hearts of opponents for years, Mexico City's Jhonny Gonzalez (54-8, 46 KO's) is a fan favorite who has won world championships at bantamweight and featherweight while beating the likes of Mark JohnsonFernando MontielIrene Pacheco and Mauricio Pastrana.  Since moving to featherweight full-time in 2009, Gonzalez has gone 14-1 with 12 knockouts, with his only loss in the form of a technical decision to Ponce De Leon in September of last year.  The winner of two straight who most recently scored a fourth round technical knockout win over Akihiko Katagiri, the 31-year-old veteran plans on testing Mares' chin this August when he attempts to get the title which he lost to Ponce De Leon back. 
Unbeaten in his last 11 bouts, Guadalajara's Victor "Vikingo" Terrazas (37-2-1, 21 KO's) is one of Mexico's most underrated fighters, but with a win over Santa Cruz this August, the world will know his name.  The owner of a 2011 win over Fernando Montiel, Terrazas won the WBC Super Bantamweight World Championship this past April by decisioning Cristian Mijares.  On August 24, he makes his first defense. 

Boxing's latest action hero, 24-year-old Leo "Terremoto" Santa Cruz (24-0-1, 14 KO's), of Los Angeles, made quite the impression in his super bantamweight debut in May, stopping Alexander Munoz in five rounds.  It was a great start at 122 pounds for the former bantamweight king originally from Huetamo, Michoacan, Mexico who successfully defended the belt he captured in June 2012 at StubHub Center three times over the span of three months before seeking bigger game at super bantamweight.

 Unified Super Lightweight World Champion Danny “Swift” Garcia and his father/trainer Angel Garcia opened their Philadelphia training camp for the media on Wednesday as they prepare for their upcoming showdown against power-punching Lucas “The Machine” Matthysse
Garcia (26-0, 20 KO’s) will defend his WBC, WBA Super and Ring Magazine Super Lightweight World Titles against WBC Interim Super Lightweight World Champion Matthysse (34-2, 32 KO’s) in the 12-round co-featured bout of “THE ONE” MAYWEATHER VS. CANELO” on Saturday, Sept. 14at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nev. The fight will be produced and televised live on SHOWTIME PPV®.
Also joining the Garcia family at newly opened DSG Boxing Gym was boxing legend and Golden Boy Promotions Partner Bernard Hopkins .
Here’s what the participants had to say on Wednesday:
DANNY “SWIFT” GARCIA:
“This fight is very exciting for me.  We are part of the biggest night in boxing and I will be ready.  I feel like I was born for this - fighting at this level on the biggest stage in boxing.
“Every fight is important to me.  I am training as I always do but I have a new gym so it is nice to be able to train in privacy.  What better way to invest in my future in boxing than investing in my own gym.  We built in the same neighborhood where my Dad grew up. We are Philly through and through.  I love having my own gym.
“A for Matthysse, he has power but I have power, too.  I fought a lot of guys with power.  Trust me, I plan to take away his power, make him miss and make him pay. 
“If he [Matthysse] opens up early to try to get me out of there, trust me, he’s making a big mistake.  He tries that and the fight’s going to be over quickly
“I’m not going to skip anything for this fight in training. I am going to work just as hard. I know what I have to do September 14, and I plan to do it the right way, the smart way.
“To me Matthysse is just a regular fighter.  He already has two losses.  I don’t consider him one of the best.  He doesn’t even have a world title and when he fought for one,he lost.  Let’s see what happens when I show him different looks, back him up, work angles.  I can fight backing up. Can he?
“I thought his fight with [Zab] Judah was a close fight.  I know I can’t make this a close fight.  I am going to stick to my fight plan, give him different looks and be smart.  I’m definitely not going to give him something easy.  He’s going to have to earn anything he gets in the ring that night. Let’s see if he knows how to earn it.
“It doesn’t matter who’s stronger.  It’s who’s smarter.  I always find a way to win.
“I definitely learn every time I get in the ring. I learned a lot in the Judah fight.  Things changed quickly but I was happy for the experience.  It taught me a lot. 
“I think this fight will give me a new level of respect. I feel that after this fight I am going to show people I am one of the best 140-pounders to ever put on a pair of gloves.
ANGEL GARCIA:
“My job is not to worry about Matthysse.  I am not worried.  He doesn't put fear in me.  His coach doesn't put fear in me.  His people don't put fear in me.  His country doesn't put fear in me.  Nobody puts fear in me.  The only one I fear is God. 
“Nobody is beating us, not right now, not tomorrow and not in the future.  Believe this, on September 14, Matthysse is going to get his ass whooped.

“Danny is the most underrated champion there is and I am the most underrated trainer. But it doesn't matter to me.  As long as I know and as long as Danny knows and we're happy, then I don't care what the world says. 
“You can love me or hate me but it doesn't matter.  I believe in me and I believe in Danny.  I always tell Danny that hard work and dedication pay the bills.

“I'm not going to look to Floyd Mayweather yet because we have Matthysse first.  We are going to worry about Matthysse.  Floyd has Canelo, so they have got to worry about each other.
“You never underestimate.  Never, never, never take the cake and eat it before you light the candles.  I'm not going to worry about Floyd.  He has his own thing and Danny has his own thing. We are going to worry about Matthysse and September 14.

“The fans should be glad and happy for such a stacked main and co-main event on PPV.  The fans should be happy and love all four of them.  They shouldn’t hate one and love the others; they should love all of them.  This is about the fans.  The fans will get the benefit.

“Matthysse is going to lose September 14.  We aren't coming to lose.  The best man will win and it's going to be Danny.

“In the fight, I think Matthysse will come out, try to prove a point and try to get into Danny’s head as the killer.  But he’s not a killer, he has nothing. He isn't a killer.”

BERNARD HOPKINS:
“It's important that this fight is happening.  It's happening at the right time.  That is a really, really exciting event with a massive card that is bringing a lot of attention.  And then you add Danny Garcia and Matthysse and it makes it even better.

“This is a fight that I see as 50/50.  I get asked all the time in fights who I think is going to win and who I think has the better chin.  This is a fight that is not going to go 12 rounds.  And if it does go 12 rounds, I don't think either fighter is going to be the same in whatever he does next.  That's how important this fight is to the fans but also in the careers of the two fighters.
“There are big things after this fight and the winner will finally be the undisputed champion in that division.  Right now, I think it is Danny Garcia, who has three major titles. So he is, right now, the guy to beat at that weight division.

“I think this fight boils down to who has the better strategy, the better chin and who can adapt and change strategy in the course of the race.  This is the type of fight where both fighters must be on top of their game. Danny's weaknesses must be kept to a minimum. Matthysse's weaknesses must be kept to a minimum.”

No Holds Barred: Raul Ramirez on Rampage Jackson-Tito Ortiz Bellator Press Conference and PPV‏

No Holds Barred: Raul Ramirez on Rampage Jackson-Tito Ortiz Bellator Press Conference and PPV
On this edition of No Holds Barred, host Eddie Goldman spoke with our correspondent Dr. Raul Ramirez of Catch Wrestling Los Angeles (http://kungfukulture.com).
He was in attendance at Monday's Bellator MMA news conference at the Bellator offices in Newport Beach, California, to announce their debut pay-per-view on November 2 featuring a fight between MMA veterans Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and Tito Ortiz, with more fights to be announced. We discussed what happened there, and issues related to this fight, the pay-per-view, and Bellator's approach to MMA.
Both fighters had a lot to say at this news conference, insisting that they are not through as fighters. They praised the "positive environment" at Bellator, contrasting it to their rocky relations, especially in recent years, with UFC management.
"Actually, I really believe that this is the beginning of a possible change in labor relations in MMA, because that's basically what Rampage and Tito talked about the majority of the time," Raul Ramirez said in our interview, which was recorded by phone Tuesday.
"Hopefully other fighters, if they're feeling taken advantage of, so they also come out and speak up, and follow Rampage and Tito's examples."

UNDEFEATED DEONTAY WILDER FACES FORMER HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION SERGEI LIAKHOVICH IN SHOBOX: THE NEW GENERATION MAIN EVENT THIS FRIDAY, AUG. 9, LIVE ON SHOWTIME®

 UNDEFEATED DEONTAY WILDER FACES
FORMER HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION SERGEI LIAKHOVICH IN SHOBOX: THE NEW GENERATION MAIN EVENT THIS FRIDAY, AUG. 9, LIVE ON SHOWTIME®
FROM FANTASY SPRINGS RESORT CASINO IN INDIO, CALIF.
 Tripleheader Features Two Outstanding 10-Round Co-Featured Fights -

Telecast Begins at 10 p.m. ET/PT
Undefeated heavyweight Deontay Wilder, most would agree, is a work in progress. He's not your typical work in progress, however -- unless you consider his record of 28-0 with 28 knockouts run of the mill.
 Still, the question on most everyone's mind: Does the former amateur standout and the last male American to medal in the Olympic Games possess the skills and talent to one day became a world champion?
The 6-foot-7, 27-year-old Wilder, of Tuscaloosa, Ala., will try to extend his winning and knockout streaks when he faces former world heavyweight champion Sergei "White Wolf" Liakhovich (25-5, 16 KO's), of Scottsdale, Ariz., by way of Vitebsk, Belarus, in the 10-round main event of a tripleheader this Friday, Aug. 9,on ShoBox: The New Generation live onSHOWTIME® (10 p.m. ET/PT, delayed on the West Coast) from Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in Indio, Calif.
 In two excellent 10-round co-featured scraps, Francisco "El Bandito" Vargas (16-0-1, 13 KO's), of Tijuana, Mexico, takes on southpaw Brandon "The Untouchable" Bennett (16-0, 7 KO's), of Cincinnati, Ohio, in a clash of unbeaten junior lightweights with almost identical resumes, while up-and-coming unbeaten junior middleweight Jermall "The Hitman" Charlo(14-0, 10 KO's), of Houston, Texas, gets tested for class when he opposes world-ranked Antwone Smith (23-4-1, 12 KO's), of Miami, Fla.
 ShoBox expert analyst Steve Farhood is looking forward to Friday's triple treat, particularly the two televised fights that will precede the heavyweight bout.
"The jury is still out, of course, on Wilder, who is taking at least a baby step up by fighting a former world champion,'' Farhood said. "The other two fights are really good, solid matchups, with the two unbeatens fighting their toughest opponents to date.
 "Vargas is clearly taking a step up in class. He turned pro at 25, which is obviously much older than the usual Mexican prospect, but he is very exciting and throws a lot of punches. Bennett is a lefty who's been brought along carefully. This is definitely a step up for him, too. But both guys are highly schooled and have looked very good in their fights. This is a prototypical ShoBoxmatchup.
"Jermall Charlo is beginning to emerge from his twin brother, Jermell's shadow. It is inevitable that they are going to be compared because they fight in the same division. This is a big step up for Jermall, facing a fighter who has made a career of beating unbeaten prospects This should be a supreme test for Charlo, who has never gone past six rounds while Smith has been six rounds or more 13 times.''
 Wilder, who didn't start to box until he was 21, only had 30-35 fights in the amateurs but earnedthe bronze medalist at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China. He was the least experienced member on the U.S. team yet was the only one to medal.
 Since turning pro in November 2008, Wilder has feasted on his foes, mostly demolishing each and every one of them. He has not gone four full rounds in a fight. Sixteen of his fights have ended in the first round, including a 70-second destruction of 2000 Olympic super heavyweight gold medalist Audley Harrison in his last start on April 27. Six of his fights were over in the second, three were done in the third and three were finished in the fourth.
Currently ranked No. 6 in the WBA and WBO, No. 15 in the IBF and No. 30 in the WBC, Wilder has had one scheduled 12-round fight and three scheduled 10-rounders. This will be his third start in 2013 after fighting six times in 2010, 2011 and 2012. To his credit, he doesn't take long layoffs between outings.
 "I honestly don't have any time off,'' he said. "I'm always up in the gym. When people call somebody a 'gym rat,' I am definitely that. This is my job and I take it seriously whether I'm outside the ring or inside. The only way to get better is to train and practice hard. The most time I'm off after a fight is maybe a week. After that, I'm training and waiting on the next fight. When I go to camp, I don't go to camp to get in shape. I go to camp to put shape on top of shape. I'm never out of shape.''
 Wilder has been trained since the outset of his pro career by Mark Breland, the 1984 Olympic gold medalist and former two-time WBA welterweight world champion.

"Deontay is great to work with, he does what I tell him to and he's willing to try anything I say, which is all I can ask,'' Breland said. "He's sparring 10 rounds and we're coming off a great camp. He's really improved a lot since we started. Honestly, we did not anticipate the knockouts; in fact, we are trying to get him to box and move more, which he's beginning to do. He's got good power in his right hand and a great 1-2 punch. So we're trying to develop his jab. But his power his just overwhelming right now.
"Two greats thing about Deontay are his willingness to learn and his work ethic. He knows he's still learning and has the right attitude. He's hungry and works hard in the gym. His shoulders are too tight when he boxes; once he relaxes a little and is able to loosen his shoulders, he will be even more dangerous. It's all about relaxing, but that comes with experience.  
"This is another stepping stone, but there's no way we take Liakhovich lightly. There are still little things he can do that Deontay's never seen. Deontay knows he has to be at the top of his game every fight." 
Wilder, who went pro at age 23 in November 2008, will be making his ShoBox debut. He won the WBC Continental Americas heavyweight title with an eye-opening third-round knockout over previously undefeated Kelvin Prince last Dec. 15 on SHOWTIME EXTREME.
"I'm excited to be in the main event on ShoBox on SHOWTIME,'' Wilder said. "I was on the (network) when I broke Price's jaw. We're just trying to reach our goal. I'm glad to have a great opponent. I can't wait to perform on Aug. 9. It's the Bomb Squad!''
Liakhovich won the WBO heavyweight title with a 12-round decision over Lamon Brewsteron April 1, 2006, and lost it on a 12th-round TKO to Shannon Briggs the following Nov. 4. He's fought only five times since and is coming off a ninth-round TKO loss to Bryant Jenningson March 24, 2012.
The 6-foot-4, 37-year-old Liakhovich, who'll be making his first start for trainer and former WBA super welterweight, WBA middleweight and WBC light heavyweight world championMike "The Body Snatcher" McCallum, didn't perform well against Jennings. But the usually tough and durable 14-year-pro is confident he still has what it takes and has enough left to score what would be a major upset.
"I've been working with Mike McCallum in Las Vegas for over two months,'' said Liakhovich, who's counting on his vast advantage in experience and natural athletic ability to take Wilder into unchartered waters. "My main sparring partner is a tall guy like Wilder. I've fought a lot of tall guys - (6-foot-6½-inch unbeaten RobertHelenius, (7-foot-tall, former WBA heavyweight champion NicolayValuev. You need to find the key how to do certain things for this kind of opponent, but it's not so difficult.
"Wilder is a good fighter, his record speaks for itself. But I'm not looking over him, I'm looking forward. On Aug. 9, I will put everything on the line, and I'm coming to win."
Vargas and Bennett will be making their ShoBox debuts. Both have similarities besides their records. They are close in age (Vargas is 28, Bennett is 25), both were terrific amateurs (Vargas was a 2008 Olympian for Mexico, Vargas won the majority of his 300 bouts), both have about the same amount of experience as professionals, both are stepping up in class and both need to win this kind of fight, by far their toughest to date, to take the next step in making the transition from prospect to contender. 
One major difference between the fighters: Vargas is known more for his punching prowess, Bennett for his boxing ability.
The 5-foot-9 Vargas didn't turn pro until he was 25. But the three-year pro has been kept busy, fighting four times in 2010, five times in 2011, six times in 2012 and twice this year. Three of his fights were aired on SHOWTIME EXTREME, the most recent last Jan. 26 when he knocked out Ira Terry in the second round. Vargas, the WBC's No. 25-ranked contender, scored three knockdowns en route to a third-round TKO over Christian Arrazola in his last outing on May 17.
"Francisco usually comes to L.A. to train, but he trained in Mexico for this fight,'' manager Joel De La Hoya said. "It's always complicated fighting a southpaw, but hopefully everything comes out all right. I think Bennett's going to be a little slicker than the last guy Francisco fought, but I don't think Bennett has faced anyone like Vargas. It will be a great fight for both kids."
Said Vargas, an eight-time Mexican national amateur champion, "I like to dominate the ring. I plateaued a bit after my pro debut, but we're making up time, ready to take that place we seek. We are on track. I love Mexico, but work is in the United States. I will not waste more time. I'm ready for success."
The 5-foot-6 Bennett is a stablemate and lifelong friend of Adrien Broner and Rau'shee Warren.  All are co-managed by Al Haymon and Mike Stafford, and trained by Stafford. This will be his third outing in 2013 after one fight in 2011 and 2012. Bennett's been triumphant via points in his last four starts, including a unanimous six-round decision over Arturo Santiagothis past July 5. 
Bennett, a natural right-hander who turned pro at the age of 20 in May 2008, describes his style "like Pernell Whitaker mixed with a little Sugar Ray Leonard.'' He's always felt his style was better suited for the pros. "I felt like I would be a better pro than amateur because I'm a counterpuncher,'' he said. "When a person makes a mistake, I counter off of it. I just feel like it was a better style for the pros.''
Bennett is hopeful 2013 is his breakout year. "I've been in camp a long time, this whole year, and haven't had a break,'' he said. "I went right back to work after my last fight. I've had two fights this year, and I'm with Adrien when he's in training camp. I'm real excited to get on SHOWTIME. I'm ready.''
Regarding his opponent, Bennett says, "I've seen Vargas fight. He just tries to bring the pressure. I know that's what he's going to try to do. We've got a game plan for that. He's going to bring the pressure, but I'm going to bring the pressure back to him. 
Charlo, who is one minute older than Jermell, has won eight consecutive fights by knockout. The virtually untested 6-foot-tall, 23-year-old will be making his ShoBox debut after two appearances on SHOWTIME EXTREME. This is his first scheduled 10-round match.
A top amateur before going pro at 18 in November 2008, Charlo dropped Luis Hernandeztwo times in the first round and won by second-round TKO in his last fight on June 1.
"I didn't take any time off after my last fight,'' Charlo said. "I've been sparring with my brother, too, this camp. We haven't sparred in a long time - probably five years. We don't spar much because it gets kind of intense and a little bit over-the-top, so (trainer) Ronnie (Shields) doesn't let us spar that often. I've probably done 30 rounds with Jermell; we've been getting it on. It was real good work.''
Shields is delighted with the brothers' progress. "They're absolutely great to work with, and they're both doing great,'' he said. "I'm very happy with their progress. Jermall is making a name for himself, which is good, and with him going with Al Haymon only makes it better. They're totally different fighters. Jermall is more of a puncher than a boxer. But both are very focused.''
The trainer acknowledges that Smith, a solid veteran, will likely present Jermall with his toughest test but that these are the kinds of fights all young up-and-comers have to take at some point. "Antwone Smith is a tough fighter but we have to fight tough fights to get to the upper echelon,'' Shields said. "This is the latest step for Jermall, a stepping stone that we have to go through.''
Charlo is looking forward to the challenge. "I think Antwone's full of experience,'' he said, "but everything is an experience to me. He has a lot of tricks and stuff, so I'm going to fight him off of how I've been training and keep the game plan with Ronnie. I'll go at him.''
The 5-foot-8 Smith, 26, is the IBF's No. 9-ranked junior middleweight. The seven-year pro has won two fights in a row, including a 10-round decision over former two-time WBC lightweight champion Jose Luis Castillo last Feb. 1.  In his outing before last, Smith scored one of his career-best victories, a 10-round decision over previously undefeated, hometown favoriteRonald Cruz on Sept. 21, 2012.
Smith is 2-1 on ShoBox, winning a 10-round decision over Richard Gutierrez and by ninth-round TKO over previously undefeated Henry Crawford in May and November 2009, respectively. He lost via TKO 9 to Lanardo Tyner in July 2010.
Unlike other young fighters, Smith came up the hard way -- an underdog matched tough, and he only reached his current level by winning a number of fights he was expected to lose (he defeated Aaron Torres, 2004 Colombian Olympian Juan Novoa, previously undefeated former Mexican national amateur champion Norberto Gonzalez and Gutierrez to name a few).
"I've added a strength program to my training since I moved up from 147,'' Smith said. "This time, it's been my whole camp. I'm real pumped-up to see how I feel and how my power and stamina increases. I feel like I've been born again. I'm more alive. I haven't felt this good, mentally and physically, in years. I'm focused and ready. Charlo is taller than me, but everybody is taller than me. That's not a factor.
"Charlo's a little arrogant, but I love that. I'm here to give him a reality test. He thinks everything comes easy. Basically, he's been fighting a bunch of cab drivers, a bunch of bus drivers. He thinks he's done something. He's talking big noise, but he's never been past six rounds, and they're worried about that.
"He's looking to go in, get in a couple of hard shots and get the guy out of there. But you hit a guy with experience and he doesn't go anywhere, you've got a problem and the rounds keep going on and on. You're in water you've never been in. When the water gets deep, we're going to see if he can swim.
"I'm just hyped up with his arrogance. He's got a video on YouTube - 'Oh, I'm fighting Antwone Smith. He's ranked number 10 in the world, but I'm going to take that.' Well, I didn't get here easily and he won't take it from me easily. Every day I walk in the gym, I watch that video. It pumps me up for my training session. It motivates me. He ain't been in what I been in.''
Those in attendance will get the opportunity to get up close and personal with Three-Division World Champion "Sugar" Shane Mosley, who will meet and greet ticket holders, sign autographs and take pictures from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. PT.
Barry Tompkins will call the ShoBox action from ringside with Steve Farhood and former World Champion Raul Marquez serving as expert analysts.  The executive producer is Gordon Hall with Richard Gaughan producing and Rick Phillips directing.
