Las Vegas, NV (Ноември 15, 2016) – NABO Junior Welterweight Champion Морис "Mighty Mo" Хукър(21-0-2, 16 Нокаута) and Two-Time Olympic Gold Medalist Claressa “T-Rex” Shields participated in a media workout in Las Vegas, NV on Monday, Ноември. 14, ahead of their undercard appearances on Kovalev-Ward “Pound For Pound” taking place Събота, Ноември. 19 at T-Mobile Arena.
Шийлдс, who will be making her professional debut against American rival Franchon Crews, will be featured on the freeview telecast beginning at 7:00 p.m. И/4:00 p.m. PT on the Pay-Per-View events channel prior to the official telecast, and through livestreaming on HBO Boxing’s YouTube channel.
проститутка, who will be defending his NABO title against veteran Darleys Perez (33-2-1, 21 Нокаута), will be featured during the televised undercard leading up to the main event on HBO Pay-Per-View® beginning at 9:00 p.m. И/6:00 p.m. PT.
Both fighters put on a display of mitt work, heavy bag, speed bag and shadow boxing for the media in attendance. Below is what the rising stars had to say during the media workout:
Морис Хукър, NABO Junior полусредна категория шампион:
“Kovalev-Ward is a special event. I’m going to do what I do best and hopefully, steal the crowd. The crowd is going to love me…they love knockouts, and that is what I am ready to give them.
“Aaron Pryor is one of the best. He brought a lot of knockouts. He was a great fighter whom a lot of people dodged. Like him, I’m coming into this fight with people dodging me. They are afraid because they don’t know what I can do. This fight means a lot…an opportunity to show them who I am. I am going to bring the knockout just like ‘The Hawk’ would.”
“I want to stay busy. I want to fight Ricky Burns and Eduard Troyanovsky and win ‘em belts. Shout out to my big bro Terrance Crawford. He’s doing his thing. Надяваме, he gets a fight with Pacquiao, move up and let me take over.
“My prediction for Събота is a knockout. Обичам нокаута. I am always going for the knockout. With every punch that I throw, even the jab, I am going to try to take Darleys Perez’s head off.”
Claressa Шийлдс, Two-Time Olympic Gold Medalist:
“I’ll have been in camp for seven weeks. Развълнуван съм. I’m ready to take on this new task of being a professional fighter and ultimately, winning a belt.
“When deciding to go pro, I thought about my legacy—I didn’t want to disappear for four years, and win another gold medal but have people not know my name or what I look like or how I box.
“Expect to see a really good fight, a very skilled fight from me, тази събота. The world is going to see a level of boxing that no woman boxer has ever showed before. I’m a smart fighter. I’m an entertaining fighter. I throw everything well and have great combinations.
“Franchon Crews and I have sparred and boxed before in huge tournaments. She’s coming into this fight fully prepared and I’ve been training for a KO. In the amateurs, my overall record was 77-1 but I’ve never KO’d anyone. Сега, we have smaller gloves, no headgear and I’m way stronger than I’ve ever been. This is a different kind of pro debut. This should actually be a World Championship fight between me and Franchon Crews but somehow, she took it for a pro debut.
"Обичам бокса. That’s why I commit my time and body. I look forward to fighting in front of all the fight fans. I have friends, семейство, fans from all over flying into Vegas just to see me fight, so hopefully I can pack the house before the main event.”

Giving back: Baltimore Boxing raises $10,000 to help locals combat medical bills
Baltimore, MD (Ноември 15, 2016) – Jake Smith’s Baltimore Boxing Promotions is proud to announce they’ve raised $10,000 for two area residents with large medical bills associated with extended hospital stays.
To ensure funds were raised through multiple channels, Smith donated a large number of tickets (which the families resold and kept 100% of the money) while running a 50/50 raffle and silent auction on fight night at Michael’s Eighth Avenue.
На Септември 15, Baltimore Boxing’s “Fight for Vince” card raised funds for Vincent Veazey, a longtime trainer and mentor at the Baltimore Boxing Club. Veazey, who was already fighting Parkinson’s disease, suffered a heart attack earlier this year that required triple bypass surgery. Vince and his family were left with massive medical bills following his hospitalization and still needed enough money for day to day expenses.
Четвъртък, November 10’s card assisted the family of Nicholas Tasker, an 8-year-old Arbutus, MD resident battling a rare form of abdomen cancer. Tasker is still hospitalized but made it to Michael’s Eighth to receive the “Mike Dietrich American Dream Award” during an emotional ceremony for his courageous fight against cancer.
“I’ve been in boxing for most of my life as a fighter, треньор, promoter and gym owner and these last few events were the most emotional for me,"Каза Джейк Смит. “The community and our fans have been incredible in purchasing tickets while participating in the silent auctions and 50/50 raffles to help those in need. As a lifelong Baltimore resident, it is my duty to give back to the community. Seeing firsthand what the sport of boxing can do to help others in need is a feeling no other.”
Baltimore Boxing’s next card is scheduled for Декември 8 and more information will be available shortly.
Residents, groups and organizations of the Baltimore area interested in receiving assistance through Baltimore Boxing fight cards are encouraged to email Bmoreboxing@aol.com with detailed information.

Q: За Бенсън ... Има ли някаква допълнителна мотивация да се докажете в тази битка след начина, по който приключи последната битка?
Benson Henderson: Бих казал, че няма много допълнителна мотивация в тази битка. Аз съм доста силно мотивиран човек. Искам да спечеля всичките си битки. Не се нуждая от допълнителни стимули. Искам да имам вдигната ръка във всяка една битка.
Q: Това е вашата втора битка за титлата в Bellator. Има ли нещо, което научихте от първата обиколка, която въвеждате в тази битка?
Benson Henderson: Не знам дали има нещо, което научих от последната битка за титлата, просто да се чувствам по -удобно в клетката на Bellator и да свикна с разходката и да намеря моя ритъм.
Q: Сега се борите за титлата. Мислите ли за себе си като за лек? Тук ли възнамерявате да отседнете или е възможно друго пътуване до средна категория в бъдеще?
Benson Henderson: Не бих казал, че смятам себе си за лек непременно. За мен, е 155 паунда. или 170 паунда., където и да са по -интересните и забавни мачове. Но, Първо най-важното, Трябва да се грижа за бизнеса в събота нощ.
Q: Споменахте забавни и интересни битки. Заглавието е нещо, за което мислите? Историята на седмицата е шампион в две дивизии в другата промоция. Това мечта ли си за себе си в кариерата си или просто искаш да останеш и да бъдеш най -доминиращият шампион в лека категория, който можеш да бъдеш?
Benson Henderson: Отивам да си взема този колан 155 паунда., но след това не бих казал, че коланите предлагат много допълнителни стимули. Очевидно коланите са страхотни и смисълът зад колана е, че си най -добрият на планетата и това означава много да кажеш, че си най -добрият в тази тежест, но не се боря непременно само за колана. Искаш колана, но в момента всичко, върху което се концентрирам, е четири дни от сега и човек на име Майкъл Чандлър.
Q: За Майкъл ... Мислили ли сте някога да опитате друг колан? Знам, че е в началото на титлата ти, но минало ли ви е това през ума? И, ако все пак сте отишли за друг колан, ще бъде ли за полусредна категория или полупечка?
Michael Chandler: Не съм се замислял много за това. За мен, Просто търся най -големия бой, който мога да получа. Знам, че няма как да направя 145 паунда., откакто обикалям около 190 паунда., между битките. Така, Не се интересувам от загуба на мускулна маса, за която съм работил толкова усилено. Ако нещо, Бих скочил до 170 паунда., но в момента съм съсредоточен върху битката си тази събота вечер и съм развълнуван да изляза и да изпълня.
Q: Защо Хендерсън е важен противник за вашата кариера?
Michael Chandler: Всеки противник е важен. Всеки път, когато се бием, поставяме се, препитанието ни, нашите записи, и нашата репутация на линия. При мен така се случва, Имам възможност да се бия с човек, който е бил шампион и е направил някои страхотни неща в спорта. Но за щастие, това е подходящото време за мен и грешното време за него. Изключително съм развълнуван да отида там и да направя изявление с тази битка в събота нощ. Той определено е страхотен, желаещ противник, но съм развълнуван да отида там и да завърша.
Q: За MVP ... Очевидно, това беше фантастична година за вас в Bellator, особено вашето представяне в Лондон. Имате ли пръст върху пулса на поп културата в момента и има ли нещо, от което черпите вдъхновение, което искате да използвате в някакъв развлекателен фактор в бойната нощ?
MVP: Да, Винаги съм социално осведомен, но първо трябва да свърша работата и това е най -важното.
Q: В момента, битките в различни класове на тегло и битките в множество дивизии изглеждат ярост в момента и знам, че в миналото споменахте възможността да се понижите до 155 паунда., това ли е нещо, което все още ви интересува?
MVP: В момента, не. Точно сега, Фокусиран съм само върху битките в полусредна категория.
Q: Ако можете да запишете победа над Фернандо Гонсалес, колко още битки и колко още победи мислите, преди да сте в тази снимка на заглавието и да се борите за титлата?
MVP: Това всъщност не е основната ми грижа. Просто излизам там и се забавлявам и ще продължа да го правя, докато не се окажа в позицията, в която би трябвало да съм.
Q: For Michael Chandler…With you watching Benson from a far for a long time, what did you think of him as his career progressed?
Michael Chandler: Benson’s had a phenomenal career. Едно време, he was the UFC champion and I was the Bellator champion. He was ranked number one and I was ranked number three in the world and it was always that “what if” matchup. What if these two guys could fight…and now we finally get to see. He’s continued to impress. He’s continued to win. Great careers and great legacies can’t be had without great opponents. I look at Benson Henderson as exactly that, but I’ll be damned if I’m going to step into that cage в събота night and lose this belt. I’ve trained my tail off, I’ve gone through some of the toughest hardships that anyone can go through in this sport…losing three fights in a row, coming back, and believing that no matter what, my next big breakthrough is right around the corner. I never once thought about quitting, where I think a lot of people in that situation would. Where I’ve been and where I am now, I’m confident and I’m excited to just go out there and put it all on the line against one of the best in the world and one of the biggest names in the sport. This is a great opportunity on Spike TV, на живо и безплатно.
Q: For Fernando…question regarding the video packages that Michael Page has produced and released this year, most recently during Halloween. Did you watch them and what was your reaction to the video packages?
Фернандо Гонзалес: I watched both of the videos and thought it was kind of funny, especially the last one. Bad choice of food products I guess. He’s basically eating balls and drinking milk, while cupping and savoring the taste. Така, I don’t know if I should take that as a call out, but I think the victory alone will be enough for me.
Q: With Michael (Страница) on the line right now, does Fernando have any sort of message for him leading up to the fight?
Фернандо Гонзалес: It’s the same message that I gave before. Just show up. I respect the fighter, but after this he’ll congratulate me and thank me for making him a better fighter. Той е труден, but he hasn’t been tested and I’m going to give him his first loss.
Q: Michael do you have a response to that?
MVP: I’m allergic to bullshit, so there’s no point in responding.
Q: For Benson Henderson…In the title eliminator fight in Anaheim, you had a calm and deliberate demeanor throughout that fight and before we could really see you explode, Pitbull was taken away with an injury. Are you going to look to set a faster pace with Chandler, or are we going to see a more measured response?
Benson Henderson: We’ll see how it plays out. It’s hard to dictate and say exactly what I’m going to do. If I was an NFL coach, I would not be one of those coaches that has the first 15 plays of the game scripted out and no matter what happens, we’re sticking to these 15 plays. За мен, I have to feel it out and go with the flow. Но, for me I don’t think this is going to be a slow pace fight. I’m expecting this to be one of the most high paced, action-packed fights you’ve seen in the Bellator cage.

I want to thank my promoter Roc Nation Sports for allowing me the opportunity to shine on this incredible stage, my team at Victory Sports & Entertainment and also to Andre Ward for all his help and guidance. This is a big steppingstone for me and in 2017, I expect to move up in the rankings and take my career to the next level.” McCreary, who is also eager about the opportunity, посочен, “This is a big opportunity for me and I wanted to thank my team and my promoter Roc Nation Sports. I have been training hard and am excited to showcase my skills on this big stage. I am ready to show everyone that I can to rise to the occasion.
