"ONCE AND FOR ALL: HOPKINS VS. DAWSON" MEDIA ROUNDTABLE QUOTES Bernard Hopkins, WBC & Ring Magazine Light Heavyweight World Champion "I'm a throw back. I live in a time where it is so microwavable that there is no time to cook, season, chop or marinate any more. I'm the last of a dying [expletive] breed. "They were calling me old when I beat Trinidad 11 years ago. "Sticks and stones will break my bones, but names will always motivate me. "I have proven who I am. The reason I'm here is because Dawson didn't do what he should have against Pascal. "My biggest motivation has been adversity. "I don't drink or smoke and if some is drinking or smoking around me I get up. It's called discipline. "This fight all you hear is 'Chad is bigger. Chad is stronger.' Not that he is more talented." Chad Dawson, Former Light Heavyweight World Champion "It all depends on how Bernard comes in the ring. If he comes to fight, that is great. If he comes to lie down like he did last time, then I feel sorry for the people that bought tickets or are going to watch on HBO. "The first fight wasn't a long fight, but in the two rounds that it was, I was the one trying to press the fight. I was trying to make the action. "Bernard just backed up the whole time and didn't try to make the fight. I think people saw the difference between the size and the strength. It wasn't many punches landed, but I did land a good right hand in the first round and he found out that night that I was serious. "I have taken criticism in the past that I wasn't in the best of shape, but that night I was all there. Mentally, physically, I was all there. "If Bernard comes to fight and he wants to give the fans what they are looking for, and then let's fight. I am here to fight and finish off what should have happened the first time we fought. I was supposed to be crowned light heavyweight champion. "Last fight, he had no fire in his eyes. I could look at him from across the ring and I saw he didn't want to be there that night. "I know he is not going to come after me. I have to take the fight to him. I am not the same young fighter as Pavlik or Pascal. They don't have the same options that I have in the ring. I can box, switch up. "He is not going to get into my head. Mind games don't work with me. "We have a good plan. I am not thinking about a close decision. I don't see it happening that way at all." Seth Mitchell, Heavyweight Rising Star "The only thing I really miss [about football] is the team camaraderie. Boxing is a lonely sport. "I'm just focused, if you can't tell. I'm excited about the fight I'm ready to go out there and perform. "If you take the Klitchko's out of the picture, right now, I think I'm right up there with the top heavyweights. "I'm not a braggadocios person. There is no false bravado here. I handle my business when I get in the ring. "I don't just want to be the NABO champion; I believe I can be the heavyweight [world] champion "Hopefully this time next year I will have the opportunity to fight for one of those titles. "This is what I chose to do in order to support my family. "Nothing spectacular sticks out in my mind about Chazz. He is a solid fighter but he has heart and he comes to fight. "I think Chazz is a fundamentally sound fighter. He does a lot of things well. He throws a good jab and he stays busy. He throws punches in bunches. "When I was a football player, I wasn't worried about making it in college. My mindset was the NFL. When I decided to box, I didn't want to be just the NABO champion. I set my goals high." Chazz Witherspoon, Heavyweight Contender "This is a fight that can move me to the Top 10, so this is very important to me too. "There is a lot of room to grow, but there is enough Chazz Witherspoon to be victorious Saturday night. "I have more experience than the person I am fighting. I believe I hold the experience edge over Seth, but we will see how the fight plays out Saturday night. "I have four boys and another boy on the way. I don't encourage my kids to pay attention to my boxing, but rather I am not pushing them towards the sport. I want them to play other sports. My brother is a professional soccer player so I want them to consider soccer. "My mother and father always supported everything I have done. I have people to support me, but not a lot of yes men. "I started boxing to stay in shape when I was at St. Joe's on academic scholarship. They said don't do it, but once I get a challenge, I try harder. I made it to the Olympic Trials because of it and that is where I first met trainer Virgil (Hunter). "I had Virgil on a list of people that I would work with and then it all came together, so I am really happy now as a fighter. "This is my first real camp and seeing the level that that involves, I see that I had been missing something up until now. This is a whole new level for me and I am happy I did it. I think there will be a lot of opportunities that will open up for me. "Virgil taught me a lot just in one camp. He is a great man. He is very wise, breaks it all down and makes it all make sense. I am going to keep getting that knowledge and I see great things to come. "I am a fighter and I am going to fight. They call me the "Gentleman" but I am a fighter and am going to fight. Virgil Hunter, Witherspoon's Trainer "Without a doubt Chazz has an upside. When I watch both his fights and setbacks, I attribute to the right timing and preparation. His pride was fighting and he wasn't. He probably shouldn't have taken the Thompson fight because there really wasn't enough time to prepare for that fight. "But when you look at his amateur and pro fight experience, he is only 30-years-old and just coming into his heavyweight experience. I am not just happy to be here, but also to make a statement. "We are in it to climb the division. I am not out here blindly dreaming either. One moment can create a perception of a fighter. Saturday we plan to turn that around and show people they might have created the wrong perception about Chazz Witherspoon. "If he comes out victorious, then Chazz could and should be called the next great American heavyweight, as that is what they are calling Seth Mitchell." Gary Shaw, President & CEO of Gary Shaw Productions "I believe Bernard Hopkins has always known that Chad Dawson is the guy to beat him. "There is always someone out there that can beat you. The secret is not finding that guy." # # # "Hopkins vs. Dawson: Once And For All," a 12-round bout for Hopkins' WBC and Ring Magazine light heavyweight world championships, is presented by Golden Boy Promotions and Gary Shaw Productions and sponsored by Corona, AT&T and Caesars Atlantic City. Also featured will be a 12-round heavyweight battle between Seth "Mayhem" Mitchell and "The Gentleman" Chazz Witherspoon for the vacant NABO heavyweight title.

    Adrien Broner, Gavin Rees, Johnathon Banks and Seth Mitchell Media Conference Call Transcript K e l l y S w a n s o n T h a n k you, everybody, for calling in. We appreciate you participating in this conference call. We are here on the line with a wonderful card that we’re going to be announcing February 16th. It’s really kind of a return of three of the participants that were in Atlantic City on November 17th last year, again, bringing a lot of relief to the residents of Atlantic City because it had just happened after the hurricane. So, the guys did a great job. It was a wonderful fight night and now we’re back again. And we’re going to just start the call with the heavyweights and then move into the lightweights. I’m going to go ahead and introduce Oscar de la Hoya who is going to talk a little bit about the fight and then make the introductions. Oscar. Oscar de la Hoya Yes, I’m here. Thank you very much. We’re extremely, extremely excited to once again return back to Atlantic City where first and foremost we were able to raise a big amount of money that went towards the Boys and Girls Clubs there in Atlantic City. In our last outing with Adrien Broner, with Banks, also with Seth Mitchell, so it was an exciting, exciting event and a very successful event in terms of giving back to Atlantic City. The main event, as you know Adrien Broner vs.

  • Dawson Confident the Best Is Yet to Come
    Dawson confident the best is yet to come PROVIDENCE, R.I. (June 17th, 2019) — There are many reasons why some professional fighters hang on longer than most people think they should. Some need the money. Others miss the limelight. Chad Dawson is simply motivated by the thrill of victory and an opportunity to reclaim his throne atop the light heavyweight division. “If I didn’t think I had anything left, I wouldn’t be doing it right now,” said the former two-time world champion, who returns to the ring Saturday, June 29th, 2019 at Foxwoods Resort Casino after two and a half years away from the sport. “I want to get back in the spotlight, back into contention and back into the ring with the guys who are at the top now.” Dawson (34-5, 19 KOs), who turns 37 in July, faces North Carolina vet Quinton Rankin (15-5-2, 12 KOs) in the eight- round main event of CES Boxing’s pro-am spectacular at the historic Fox Theater. The event streams live on Facebook via FIGHTNIGHT LIVE and also includes a 10-round featherweight co- feature bout between fellow New Haven boxer Tramaine Williams(17-0, 6 KOs) and Filipino Neil John Tabanao (17-5, 11 KOs). Limited tickets are available at $47, $77 and $157 (VIP) and can be purchased online at www.cesboxing.com or www.foxwoods.com, by phone at 401-724-2253 or 800-200-2882 or at the Fox Theater Box Office. All fights and fighters subject to change. Dawson is not the first — and he certainly won’t be the last — fighter to return to the sport following a long layoff or retirement.

  • International Boxing Research Organization, Had Perhaps Its Stron- Gest Showing Ever at Canastota
    boxing by don cogswell This year’s trip to Canas- tota, my third, for the Hall of Fame inductions weekend, continued to add texture and depth in experiencing one of boxing’s principal convergences. The dazzle of being immersed in so many of boxing’s notables does fade but the rewards of repeated visits with friends and associates deepen to center stage. Doing a little business also helps. The Random House Dictionary, unabridged, second edition, defines appetizer as “any small portion that stimulates a desire for more or that indicates more is to follow.” An opportunity to meet fifties contender Rocky Jones, courtesy of former Chester heavyweight Jack Mer- cadante and Philly historian Chuck Hasson, was up to scratch in meeting that definition. (I had flown into Philadelphia from the West Coast, planning on driving north with these two notables, to Canastota.) Rocky lives in a primarily African American neighborhood that was once predominately Italian American. The house Jack Mercadante grew up in is a stone’s throw from Rocky’s. Throughout our hour visit on his stoop, passerby’s continuously asked Rocky if everything was all right. I felt privileged with his repeated mantra that everything was just fine. (Jones lives a short drive from Leiperville, where we passed, in homage, the site of Baron Dougherty’s Colonial Hotel.) Among the many comments of Rock’s experiences, both in the ring and the gyms, the two bouts with Roland LaStarza loomed large. Rocky, essentially a lightheavy, fought heavyweights throughout his career. LaStarza was in line for a title shot, and a big favorite when he fought Jones, but was upset over 10.
