DETROIT (Márta 8, 2017) – All eight fighters participating in “Detroit City Gold”, an ShoBox: An Giniúint Nua headlined by two-time Olympic Gold Medalist Claressa Shields, participated in a final press conference ar an gCéadaoin in advance of Dé hAoine four-fight telecast from MGM Grand Detroit.

 

Shields (1-0) will face former world title challenger Szilvia Szabados (15-8, 6 Kos) in just her second fight since winning gold at the 2016 Olympics and in the first women’s boxing event in premium television history, beo ar Showtime ag 10 p.m. AGUS/PT.

 

“Detroit City Gold,” which takes place less than an hour from Shields’ hometown of Flint, Mich., is promoted by Salita Promotions. Shields vs. Szabados is a six-round middleweight bout.

 

Sa ShoBox comh-gné, top-10 ranked bantamweight contenders Antonio Nieves (17-0-2, 9 Kos), de Cleveland, and Russia’s Nikolay Potapov (16-0-1, 8 Kos) will put their undefeated records on the line in a 10-round matchup for the NABO bantamweight belt.

 

In an eight-round televised bout, welterweight Wesley Tucker (13-0, 8 Kos) de Toledo, Ohio, faces Detroit’s Ed Williams (12-1-1, 4 Kos) in a matchup between two former amateur standouts. Sa opener teilifís, Detroit-based bantamweight prospect James Gordon Smith (11-0, 6 Kos) will take on Chicago’s Joshua Greer, Jr. (11-1-1, 4 Kos) i bout ocht-bhabhta.

 

Here’s what the fighters had to say ar an gCéadaoin:

 

Claressa Shields:

“I started boxing at age 11 and all I really wanted was an opportunity. This is one of those big opportunities.

 

“Her having 124 professional rounds doesn’t mean anything to me. Her being 15-8 le 6 KOs doesn’t scare me either. But I am glad she took the fight and didn’t pull out.

 

“She’s a challenge and, ar pháipéar, she’s not supposed to be someone that I can just walk through. But I’ve been in training camp for three months and I had a great training camp.

I’m not going to let her beat me in front of my family. I’m not going to let her beat me in front of my nephews and cousins and my mom and dad. I just don’t roll like that.

 

“If she doesn’t have the talent and skill to go six rounds with me, she will not go six rounds. Mar sin,, I hope she had a very good training camp. I know I did.

 

“This is the first time that a woman has been the main event on SHOWTIME and I’m not coming to make women look bad when I get in there on Márta 10."

 

Szilvia Szabados:

“I’m ready to fight. I’ve been waiting a long time for this fight. I feel good and I’m in great shape.

 

“I think everyone has a destiny in life and I’m glad I chose to be a boxer. This is a huge opportunity for me and I plan to take advantage of it.

 

“I know she has the amateur experience, but I have more experience as a pro. We’ll see what’s more important ar an Aoine."

 

Antonio Nieves:

“I trained and did everything I have to do. I’m ready for war.

 

“Coming out of Cleveland, nobody gives us a chance. We have to fight for everything we get.

 

“I respect Potapov. Tá sé ina Trodaire maith. He said he’s going to take my belt? He’s going to have to take it from me. I’m here to fight. I’m not going to just give it up. Come try and take it.

 

“When I get in there Friday, tá sé go léir gnó. I respect him – I don’t have any problems with him as a person.

 

“I’ve fought a lot of Russians and Europeans. They’re straight-up, come forward, and try to put on a lot of pressure. They bring the fight and I’m ready for that. I’m ready for anything he brings to the table.

 

“Anything can happen in a fight, but I’m focused and ready and I know what I have to do. I’ll be able to adjust to whatever he brings.”

 

Nikolay Potapov:

“I will be a much more aggressive version of myself for this fight. I trained to be very aggressive. I have a lot of surprises in store for Antonio Nieves.

 

“I learned a lot training at Kronk and I’m very ready. I had a great training camp and I really enjoyed living here in Detroit.

 

“In Russia, there is a traditional Russian style. Over here, it’s totally different. The American style is much more aggressive. I loved training with Javan SugarHill Steward at Kronk and learned a lot.”

 

Wesley Tucker:

“I come to fight every time and everybody knows when I fight, it’s fireworks.

 

“He may be from here, but Detroit is my home, freisin. And I’m planning on winning here at home.”

 

Ed Williams:

“I’m glad to be home. I had a great camp and it’s going to be a hell of a fight.

 

“Wesley Tucker is coming to fight, but I’m home. You don’t let nobody take you at home. Sin é.

 

“He may be in for a short night. Or a long one. We’ll see.”

 

James Gordon Smith:

“I’m knocking you out. I’m not here to play games. I’m coming straight for you. I bet you I knock you out.

 

“You can’t punch. What are you going to do?

 

“I’m coming to throw bombs, so I hope you trained for this because I’m going to knock that smile off your face. Your coach can’t fight for you.”

 

Joshua Greer, Jr:

“I’m ready. You’re getting knocked out. We didn’t come here to lose.

 

“This is a fight I’ve been waiting for. Tá muid réidh. Den sórt sin mar a Dé hAoine, I hope he’s ready, too.”

Berto (31-4, 24 Kos) and Porter (26-2-1, 16 Kos) will battle in a 12-round eliminator for the WBC welterweight title live on SHOWTIME with televised coverage beginning at 9 p.m. AGUS/6 p.m. PT. The winner will become the mandatory for the WBC crown picked up this past weekend by Keith Thurman, who unified the WBA and WBC titles with a victory over Danny Garcia on CBS at Barclays Center.
“It feels great to be getting back in the ring,” Said Berto. “I love being back in New York. My team has been putting in work in the gym. I’m already dialed-in and focused. I’ve had the WBC belt before and I’m itching to get it back. I beat the man who had taken it away from me in my last fight and I’m going to take down anyone who gets in my way. I know Shawn is going to work hard for this one, but so will I. I’m looking forward to this one, you don’t want to miss it.”
“The only thing on my mind right now is the WBC title,” Said Porter. “I made it a goal of mine when I turned pro to get that green belt, and now I feel like it’s about to happen. I’m not looking past Andre Berto, I respect him as a man and a fighter. We’re friends. But just like when I fought Keith Thurman, it’s all about the business and getting that title. I can’t wait to be in that ring on April 22 at Barclays Center.”

“In a welterweight division that is filled with talent and marquis matchups, Berto vs. Porter is another elimination bout on the road to crowning the king of the division,” Dúirt Lou DiBella, Uachtarán na DiBella Siamsaíocht. “Berto and Porter are two established, offensive minded professionals who understand the significance of this showdown. I expect fireworks on Aibreán 22 when one of them stakes claim to an even bigger opportunity.”
“Ar Márta 4, Barclays Center hosted its biggest night of boxing ever and we are looking forward to continuing the momentum on Aibreán 22 with Berto vs. Caith,” Dúirt Brett Yormark, CEO of Brooklyn Sports & Siamsaíocht. “We are excited to welcome Porter back to Brooklyn after his epic performance against Thurman in PBC’s 2016 An comhrac na Bliana. BROOKLYN BOXING continues to be defined by 50-50 troideanna, dramatic moments, and a regular schedule of major boxing events.”
“Aibreán 22 is sure to be an action-packed fight between two of the best fighters in the welterweight division,” Dúirt Stephen Espinoza, Leas-Uachtarán & Bainisteoir Ginearálta, Showtime Spóirt. “We’re in the midst of a de facto ‘welterweight tournament’ – a series of matchups between the best fighters in one of boxing’s deepest divisions. The winner of Berto vs. Porter will land right back in the mix with the top champions at welterweight as we move toward crowning an undisputed 147-pound champion.”
An exciting and accomplished fighter from Florida, Berto represented Haiti in the 2004 Olympics but now trains in Oakland with the renowned Virgil Hunter, who led him to a thrilling victory in April 2016 as Berto scored a fourth-round knockout of former champion Victor Ortiz in their rematch. Berto previously challenged retired legend Floyd Mayweather in September 2015 and has engaged in numerous Fight of the Year-worthy bouts including a 2012 war with Robert Guerrero and his first fight with Ortiz. He has twice held a welterweight title, first the WBC belt, which he successfully defended five times between 2008 agus 2011, plus the IBF crown he picked up in 2011 with a victory over Jan Zaveck.
A physically-gifted fighter who had a strong amateur career, Porter returns to the ring at Barclays Center after a close loss to Keith Thurman in June 2016 that garnered unanimous Fight of the Year consideration. The 29-year-old had previously become a welterweight world champion at Barclays Center when he defeated Devon Alexander in 2013 in Brooklyn before defending the title with a dominant stoppage of Paulie Malignaggi. An Akron, Ohio-native now lives and trains in Las Vegas and he bounced back from a previous defeat to Kell Brook to knockout Erick Bone and earn a unanimous over four-division world champion Adrien Broner in 2015.

LACEY TO TAKE ON BELLATOR VETERAN AT NEF 28

Leave a comment

 

DO SCAOILEADH Láithreach: Lewiston, Maine (Márta 7, 2017) – Troideanna Sasana Nua (NEF) cuireann sé a chéad imeacht ealaíona comhraic measctha eile i láthair “NEF 28: INFHEIDHME” ar an Satharn, Aibreán 29, 2017 ag an Colisee Androscoggin Bank i Lewiston, Maine. Níos luaithe inniu, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional featherweight bout to the card. Aaron “Gan staonadh” Lacey (4-0) shínigh aghaidh Walter “All-Day” Smith-Cotito (4-5) ag troid meáchan de 145-punt.

Aaron Lacey, undefeated as a professional, has won seven in a row going back to his amateur career. He was prepared to compete at “NEF 27” an mhí seo caite, but Mother Nature had other plans when a snowstorm prevented his opponent from making the trip to Lewiston from Florida. The setback has made Lacey even hungrier to return to action, but the Young’s MMA standout knows that he has his toughest test to date in front of him in the form of Cotito.

“This is going to be an amazing fight,” said Lacey. “Walter is a skilled and dangerous opponent, and he is realistically one of the most dangerous people I have fought to date. That’s alright with me though – the tougher the opponent, an níos deacra mé ag obair. After what went down in February, I’m chomping at the bit to get back in there.”

The fight for Cotito will represent a rubber match of sorts with Young’s opponents. In the spring of 2013, Cotito took Ray Wood (8-3) deep into the third round before Wood, then Young’s standout featherweight prospect, was able to finish the fight. Cotito would gain a measure of revenge against the Bangor gym when he submitted Bruce Boyington (14-10) ag “NEF X” later that year. Between a pair of recent appearances for global fight promotion Bellator, Cotito scored a second-round submission of Elias Leland (3-2) ag “NEF 25” Is speisialtóir Muay Téalainnis é a ghlac a chrios teidil meáchain welter M-1 Challenge Aibreán seo caite ag.

“I’m super excited to fight this kid that they’re all talking about,” exclaimed Cotito. “He has a lot of potential, they keep saying – good, this just makes it more exciting for me! Nobody has seen the real Walter Cotito in the cage yet. Don’t miss this fight because ‘All-Day’ is coming for you!”

Filleann New England Fights ar an Colisee Androscoggin Bank i Lewiston, Maine lena chéad imeacht ealaíona comhraic measctha eile, “NEF 28: INFHEIDHME,” ar an Satharn, Aibreán 29, 2017. Tá ticéid ar díol anois ag oifig bhosca na Colisee 207-783-2009 x 525 agus ar líne ag www.TheColisee.com.

Here’s what they both had to say:
Antonio Nieves
“Everything went well in training. Potapov is a solid fighter but I believe giving him some movement and coming in from the side is really going to help me get the victory in this fight. Tá mé 100 faoin gcéad réidh. I’ve been focused on one guy the entire camp and I’m ready to get in there and get the win.
“We tried to get sparring partners that imitate him as much as possible, so when I get in there with him, there’s no surprises, but basically, I’m just going to stick to what I know.
“A victory means a lot. We’re two undefeated fighters on the verge of a world title shot. A victory over this guy would put me to the stage of being in line to fight for a world title, so this win means a lot.”
Nikolay Potapov
“I had a great training camp in Detroit at Kronk gym with Javan SugarHill Steward. It’s been a great learning experience for me. An oiliúint, intensity, sparring, living conditions have been superb.
“This is the most important fight of my career. Antonio Nieves is a very skilled, high-level fighter. I am focused on making a statement on Márta 10, and showing that I am one of the best bantamweights in the world.”
