"It's show time!" said Shawn Porter.  "This is a big week for me.  I'm very excited.  This is my first time fighting here in Vegas, the main event on the card. It doesn't get any better than that. I had a great camp. Can't wait to bust his joker up again, take care of business, and set the record straight."

"This is a great weekend for boxing. I feel blessed and I'm excited," said Julio Diaz.  "A couple of years ago, the boxing world retired me, supposedly I was done, but here I am still headlining shows. I never gave up and I kept on working hard and I'm still here. The first time around, we had a good fight. I was coming back, gaining my confidence. Right now I think I'm where I need to be. I'm very excited and I'm coming with everything. This fight, we will not need judges.  Anyway it goes, it's not going to a decision. I guarantee you that."

"[Periban] is a good fighter, but Thursday night I will be victorious," said Badou Jack.  "I had a great camp and I'm in great shape.  Bring it."

"I have trained very well," said Marco Antonio Periban.   "I am very well prepared and comeThursday we are going to come out with a victory for all of Mexico.  We are ready for this fight. We are closer to the title.  That title escaped my hands. Obviously it was a little slip but the judges really affected me in the fight with Sakio Bika.  But we gained experience and we're very motivated. I want to remind you, this is not the first time I fought a Mayweather fighter. When I fought Shujaa EL AMIN [Formerly Dion Savage] he lasted 15 seconds."

 "I'm a very exciting fighter," said Julian Williams.  "I trained extremely hard for this fight and I'm fighting a decent fighter in Hugo Centeno, but I come to win.  I'm the best prospect at 154 pounds. Thursday night will be no different.  I plan on putting on a spectacular performance and getting a win."

"I've been training extremely hard for this fight and I come to win," said Hugo Centeno. "When I get in the ring, I'm here to take this victory."

JOHNATHON BANKS, NABO & WBC International Heavyweight Champion

"I'm very excited to get back in the ring against Seth on June 22.  Boxing is my life and you can see by my smile how I feel.

"The thumb is fine.  No problems at all with it for this camp.

"It's been an easy transition back to boxing from my role as a trainer of Wladimir Klitschko.

"I expect a smarter and very well prepared Seth Mitchell for this rematch.

"[On his birthday falling on June 22] I can't think of a better way to celebrate my birthday than in the ring on June 22.

"[On the fan turnout at his open workout at Ecorse High School in Detroit] I'm very active here in a mentoring role at the school and they've been very supportive of me.  It's great to see so many members of the community, family and friends turn out."


SETH MITCHELL, Former NABO Heavyweight Champion

"I'm excited.  It's the first time I'm going up to Barclays Center.  It's a rematch.  It's a good fight for me.  It's pressure, but I've got to channel it and I'm not letting it overwhelm me.  I'm excited to put the loss against Banks behind me and get this chapter of my life over with.

"I'm not even looking at it like revenge.  I look at it as I took a hit and I learned from it.  I came to the gym, I worked extremely hard to try to get my prep, to work on my things and to learn from my mistakes.

"I want to win, so if you want to call that revenge, then that's revenge.

"I'm still going to bring some heat.  I tell people I don't see myself in a boring fight, I'm just going to be smarter and have a smarter approach.

"God blessed me with size, speed and power, so I just have to go out there and be more defensively responsible.  That's my motto.

"When I watch the first fight, I realize that I made so many mistakes, but they aren't things I'm going to repeat.

"I've been fighting for only six and a half years.  It's not long, but I consider myself a quick learner.

"If Johnathon Banks would've out-boxed me for six or seven rounds or out-classed me, of course the fighter in me would've wanted a rematch, but I wouldn't have taken the rematch right away.  I believe that I'm a better fighter than him and I didn't show everything that I'm capable of.  That's why I want a rematch.

"I went to my team and I said I wanted a rematch.  I've got a smart group of people around me and if they've felt that I couldn't beat him, they'd have talked among themselves and come out with a different game plan. 

"I truly believe I'm better than Johnathon Banks and I will show it on the 22nd."

TOP YOUNG TALENT ROUNDS OUT JUNE 22 FIGHT CARD AT BARCLAYS CENTER IN BROOKLYN



UNDEFEATED JULIAN WILLIAMS VS. FORMER WORLD CHAMPION JOACHIM ALCINE & 2012 U.S. OLYMPIAN MARCUS BROWNE VS. MEXICO'S RICARDO CAMPILLO TO BE FEATURED ON SHOWTIME EXTREME®

BROOKLYN'S JUAN DOMINGUEZ AND FRANK GALARZA
SET FOR ACTION IN SEPARATE BOUTS

               BROOKLYN, N.Y. (June 12, 2013) - Unbeaten junior middleweight prospect Julian Williams is the latest in the line of Philadelphia fighters to make an impact in the boxing world beyond the City of Brotherly Love.  On Saturday, June 22Williams will headline a star-studded undercard at Brooklyn's Barclays Center against former World Champion Joachim Alcine in the featured eight-round fight on SHOWTIME EXTREME®.  Also on the SHOWTIME EXTREME telecast will be a six-round light heavyweight clash between 2012 United States Olympian Marcus Browne of Staten Island and Mexico's Ricardo Campillo.  Both bouts will lead up to the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® tripleheader headlined by the world championship showdown between Brooklyn hero and WBA Welterweight World Champion Paulie "Magic Man" Malignaggi and current WBC Lightweight and Two-Time World Champion Adrien "The Problem" Broner, live on SHOWTIME® at 9 p.m. ET/ 6 p.m. PT
 
               Also featured on the undercard will be Browne's Olympic teammates 
Rau'Shee Warren and Jamel Herring, undefeated prospect Robert Easter Jr. and Brooklyn's Juan Dominguez and Frank Galarza.

               Julian Williams (12-0-1, 7 KO's) has shown the talent and savvy of those with much more experience.  In just 13 professional bouts, the 23-year-old has proven that he is on his way to joining the long line of Philadelphia fighters to win a world title.  He will face by far his toughest challenge to date when he faces former World Champion Alcine on June 22.
 
               Gonaive, Haiti native Alcine (33-4-1, 19 KO's) is unlike any fighter Williams has seen in his professional his career.  The former WBA Super Welterweight World Champion who now resides in the boxing hotbed of Montreal holds wins over Travis Simms, Carl Daniels and David Lemieux and is looking to bounce back from a gritty 12-round loss to Brian Rose in April.

               Living just over the Verrazano Bridge in Staten Island, New York, "Sir" Marcus Browne (4-0, 4 KO's) will have a short commute to work on June 22.  The 2012 United States Olympian has been making short work of his opponents, too, showing off his punching power by finishing all four of his foes by knockout.  Obregon, Mexico's Ricardo Campillo (7-6-1, 5 KO's) will be aiming to end that streak and score the upset.  Having faced four undefeated opponents in his last four bouts, he's no stranger to taking on up-and-coming prospects.

               Three-time United States Olympian Rau'Shee Warren (12-0, 2 KO's) and 2012 United States Olympian Jamel Herring (3-0, 2 KO's) have both compiled impressive pro records and will look to keep the momentum going in their Brooklyn debuts.  Cincinnati's Warren meets Pueblo, Colorado's Ernest Marquez (9-12, 3 KO's) in a four/six round bantamweight match which will be included on SHOWTIME EXTREME (time permitting) and Coram, New York's Herring takes on Prichard, Alabama's Calvin Smith (2-3) in a four-round lightweight fight. 

               Brooklyn will be well represented at Barclays Center on June 22 by undefeated junior featherweight Juan Dominguez (14-0, 10 KO's) who squares off against St. Paul, Minnesota's Bradley Patraw (9-5, 5 KO's) in an eight-round bout.  Brooklyn's popular junior middleweight Frank Galarza (9-0-2, 5 KO's) will also look to once again wow the hometown fans when he takes on Arecibo, Puerto Rico's Edgar Perez (5-5, 3 KO's) in a six-round junior middleweight fight.

               A lightweight bout scheduled for six rounds completes the card, as Toledo, Ohio's Robert Easter Jr. (4-0, 4 KO's) searches for his fifth pro win against Merrillville, Indiana's Antoine Knight (2-3, 1 KO).

               Malignaggi vs. Broner, a 12-round fight for Malignaggi's WBA Welterweight World Championship, will take place Saturday, June 22, 2013 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.  The event is promoted by Golden Boy Promotions and R & R Promotions, supported by Golden Boy Promotions' sponsors Corona and AT&T and will be televised live on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® beginning at 9:00 p.m. ET/6:00 p.m. PT.  In the co-featured bouts, Johnathon Banks will look to repeat his 2012 upset win over Seth "Mayhem" Mitchell as he defends his NABO and WBC International Heavyweight titles in a 12-round fight presented in association with K2 Promotions and number one rated WBC super middleweight contender Sakio Bika faces number four rated WBC super middleweight contender Marco Antonio Periban in a 12-round fight for the vacant WBC Super Middleweight World Championship.  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).
