Adler & Shields to Unify Women’s Super Middleweight Division in “Battle of the Best” at MGM Grand Detroit Live on SHOWTIME® bij 10 p.m. EN/PT

DETROIT (Juni 28, 2017) – Two-time Olympic Gold Medalist Claressa “T-Rex” Shields will challenge for her first world title against WBC Super Middleweight World Champion Nikki Adler in the main event of ShoBox: The New Generation Vrijdag, Augustus. 4, live op Showtime om 10 p.m. EN/PT from MGM Grand Detroit.

 

A native of Flint, Mich., Shields (3-0, 1 KO) is the most accomplished amateur boxer in U.S. history and the only American to capture back-to-back boxing gold medals at the Olympic Games. The 22-year-old will challenge for a world title in only her fourth professional fight against fellow undefeated Adler (16-0, 9 KO), a German star who will make the third defense of her WBC 168-pound title. The bout will also be for the vacant IBF Super Middleweight Title.

 

Shields is headlining for the second time on national television, building on her history-making debut last March in what was the first women’s main event in premium television history. If Shields dethrones Adler on ShoBox, she’ll become the 70th world champion in the history of the prospect developmental series.

 

“It’s a huge opportunity to fight in the U.S. on SHOWTIME against Claressa Shields,” Adler said. “I am the multiple-time world champion and Claressa is a two-time Olympic Gold Medalist – why not fight in the biggest matchup possible? This is a great challenge and we both will show our true potential. I know I’ll give everything I have to be successful, as I have always done. I’ve fought throughout the world, but never in the U.S. It’s really a dream to fight in the biggest women’s boxing event in 2017.

 

Shields zei, “It is a dream come true for me to be fighting for a major world title in just my fourth professional fight. I thank the champ, Nikki Adler, and her team for accepting the challenge and for coming to the U.S. for this championship. This fight is not only a milestone for me, it also is the biggest fight of the year in women’s boxing. I want to thank SHOWTIME for their commitment to me and for their support of women’s boxing. I promise to be in the best shape of my life and to give all my fans a performance to remember.”

 

Tickets for the event promoted by Salita Promotions are on sale now and are priced at $350, $250, $125 en $60. They will be available at www.ticketmaster.com.

 

Gordon Hall, ShoBox: The New Generation Executive Producer and SVP of Production, Showtime Sport, zei, "ShoBox is about challenging prospects and making step up fights, and that’s what Shields vs. Adler is all about. Claressa is returning to ShoBox in a unique opportunity to not only face her toughest opponent to date but to challenge a world champion and look to unify the division in only her fourth fight. The matchup and stakes speak for themselves. We are proud to continue to deliver the best prospects in competitive matchups.”

 

Promoter Dmitriy Salita, zei, “I am thrilled to be promoting what I expect will be the biggest women’s boxing event of 2017. Claressa Shields is on a quest to make history and is seeking to become a world champion in only her fourth professional bout less than a year after winning her second Olympic Gold Medal. Shields vs. Adler is the kind of matchup we expect from great fighters. These two women, both skilled, both determined, are certain to give fans around the world, and those watching on ShoBox, an action-packed fight that is fought at the highest level. It will be a night to remember where the sports world may see the emergence of a new star.”

 

Shields’ co-manager, Mark Taffet, zei, “This second main event telecast on SHOWTIME represents yet another historic step forward in the journey of Claressa Shields. Claressa is committed, in return, to pursuing the biggest and best fights available as the profile of women’s boxing in the U.S. and around the world continues to grow. This world title fight against Nikki Adler, a monumental challenge for Claressa in only her fourth pro fight, shows how committed Claressa is to fulfilling her dreams and leading the sport to unprecedented levels.”

 

The 30-year-old Adler, a Croatian fighting out of Augsburg, Bayern, Duitsland, will make her U.S. debut against Shields. A former German amateur champion, Adler will make her third defense of the WBC crown she won in 2013 via unanimous decision against Zane Brige in Russia.

 

In 2015, Adler defeated Szabados via unanimous decision in her first defense of the WBC belt, and knocked out Elene Sikmashvili in her second defense in 2016. In March of this year, she won the vacant WIBF and GBU World Super Middleweight Championships by unanimous decision over Mery Rancier.

 

Shields compiled an amateur record of 77-1 record and won her first Olympic Gold when she was only 17 years old in the inaugural women’s boxing competition at the London Games in 2012. She won a second gold medal at the 2016 Olympics in Rio and turned professional three months later.

 

In maart 2017 at MGM Grand Detroit, Shields stopped Hungary’s Szilvia Szabados in four rounds to win the NABF Super Middleweight Championship, in the first women’s main event in premium television history. In her most recent bout on June 16, Shields defeated Sydney LeBlanc via a unanimous eight-round decision to capture the WBC Silver Super Middleweight title.

 

Active in her community, Shields advocates for several social issues and serves as an inspirational figure in her hometown of Flint, a city beset by problems.

 

Undercard bouts for the ShoBox telecast will be announced in the coming weeks.

BETHLEHEM, PA. (Juni 28, 2017) – Miguel Cruz (16-0, 11 KO) verdiende een unaniem besluit om te verslaan Alex Martin (13-2, 5 KO) en bleef ongeslagen in een rematch tegen het weltergewicht die kopte Premier Boxing Champions TOE-tot-teen DINSDAG op FS1 enBoksen Champions op FOX Deportes Dinsdag nacht van het Sands Bethlehem Events Center in Bethlehem, Vader.
Na het winnen van een split-decision tegen Martin in hun confrontatie in januari, Cruz hield zijn perfecte staat van dienst intact door twee knockdowns te scoren voordat hij de beslissing kreeg in hun wedstrijd van 10 ronden.
“Ik voelde me eerlijk gezegd niet zo goed in ons eerste gevecht en toen ik het opnieuw bekeek, Ik dacht dat Martin had gewonnen,” zei Cruz. “Dat zorgde ervoor dat ik steeds harder trainde dan ooit om te bewijzen dat ik de vaardigheden en kracht heb om op wereldniveau te concurreren, en ik denk dat ik dat gedaan heb vanavond.”
Cruz kende een snelle start door een enorme linkse hoek te landen die Martin ving en hem laat in de eerste ronde liet vallen. Martin was in staat om overeind te komen en te herstellen net voordat de bel klonk om de ronde te beëindigen.
Martin bleef proberen aan de binnenkant te werken, maar Cruz was vastbesloten om terug te duwen en landde consequent met grote krachtschoten. Een andere linkse hoek in ronde vier stuurde Martin weer naar de mat, hoewel hij minder getroffen leek dan tijdens de eerste knockdown.
“Ik vocht tegen zijn gevecht vanavond,” zegt Martin. “Ik heb gewoon niet mijn beste prestatie neergezet. De eerste knockdown was een echte knockdown, maar bij de tweede knockdown raakte hij me in mijn achterhoofd.”
Rond vijf zag Martin effectiever boksen, verschillende rechterhanden landen voordat een linkse hoek laag landde, Cruz naar het canvas sturen en ervoor zorgen dat scheidsrechter Gary Rosato het gevecht stopzet terwijl Cruz herstelt.
Toen de actie werd hervat, bleef Martin het tij van het gevecht keren. Zijn beweging was zeer effectief en zijn succes met de linkerhand was consistent gedurende de ronde vijf tot en met acht.
“Martin was superstoer,” zei Cruz. “Ik dacht niet dat hij de tweede ronde zou halen, maar hij bezorgde me zeker problemen. Ik probeerde hem te stoppen.”
Onderaan op de scorekaarten vanwege de vroege knockdowns, Martin's comeback-inspanning kwam te kort toen Cruz in staat was om Martin af te houden in de laatste twee rondes op weg naar de beslissing in de ogen van alle drie de juryleden door de score van 96-92.
“Ik wist dat ik weer in de strijd zou komen, maar ik verzin geen excuses vanavond,” zegt Martin. “Hij won het gevecht eerlijk en vierkant, felicitaties aan hem.”
“Ik trainde voor Martin alsof hij de wereldkampioen was en zo ga ik trainen voor elk gevecht in mijn carrière,” zei Cruz. “Het was een enorm gevecht, Ik ben blij dat ik de overwinning heb behaald. Ik wil gewoon terug naar Puerto Rico en mijn verjaardag vieren morgen.”
Extra actiezaag op televisie Clarence Booth (15-3, 8 KO) stop Puerto Rico's Anthony Mercado (10-3, 9 KO) in de vierde ronde van hun weltergewichtwedstrijd.
De grotere Mercado had al vroeg in het gevecht succes terwijl Booth probeerde zich een weg naar binnen te banen en het lichaam aan te vallen. Mercado landde een paar schone rechterhanden in elk van de eerste twee rondes die Booth leken te verdoven.
“Hij was een harde vechter,” zei Booth. “Ik moest loskomen voor de eerste paar rondes. Ik was in het begin gespannen.”
Vechten uit St.. Petersburg, Florida, Booth was in staat om de storm in de eerste twee rondes te doorstaan ​​en begon het tij te keren in ronde drie met een schone rechterhand die Mercado wankelde..
Booth hield de vaart erin en zette Mercado in de vierde ronde snel op het doek met een paar rechterhanden. Mercado was in staat om overeind te komen, maar uiteindelijk brak Booth weer door en verbaasde Mercado met meer rechterhanden. De laatste vlaag bracht scheidsrechter Eric Dali ertoe om de wedstrijd stop te zetten 1:30 in het vierde frame.
“Ik had een paar zware verliezen, maar nu ben ik aan een grote comeback,” zei Booth. “Ik ben zo blij met deze kans op televisie en ik heb er het beste van gemaakt. Mijn promotor Marshall Kauffman en King's Promotions zullen me in de toekomst geweldige kansen bieden.”
“Hij sloeg me met een goed schot,” zei Market. “Hij prikte en kwam met een rechterhand die ik niet zag aankomen. Ik zal nog beter terugkomen.”

See Pacquiao and Roach quotes below from today’s workout:
MANNY PACQUIAO: “We have a really good plan for this fight. We worked hard in training camp both in Manila and in General Santos City. I’m totally focused for this fight. I am not looking past this fight because at this point in my career, every fight is the most important. There are no tomorrows if I don’t win today.
“Jeff Horn is OK. I’ve watched video of his fights. He brings a lot of action into the ring.
“I know what he is feeling. I remember everything about my first world title fight.
“Being a senator and training for a fight is hard. It takes discipline and time management. gelukkig, the Senate has been in recess for the past few weeks and I have been able to focus on training for my world title fight.
“A Senator’s job is to defend his people … to fight for their rights.
“I know Jeff Horn used to be a teacher. In de ring, I’m a teacher too.
“I am ready for Jeff to come out and be aggressive. If he does that it will be a great fight for the fans.
“The biggest crowd I ever fought in front of was at Cowboys Stadium against Joshua Clottey. I’m told this could be bigger [51,000+]. I am very excited for doing that, even though they may not be rooting for me. I am also very happy that ESPN will be televising it live.to de U.S.. Now everyone can see it. It’s good for boxing.”
FREDDIE ROACH: “Manny is a performer. He loves people, loves a big audience. Brisbane has all that for this fight. He’ll be fighting in front of the biggest crowd of his career.
“Not everyone gets the opportunity to fight for a world title. It was always my dream but I never fought for one. Het is een big deal. Jeff Horn earned this opportunity. He is the WBO’s mandatory challenger.
“Manny gave me 110% in trainingskamp. He always does. No one works harder in the gym. The difference in this camp from recent ones has been his aggression. He’s scored several knockdowns and I haven’t seen that in years. He has kept his foot on the pedal throughout, even when he’s had a sparring partner in trouble. After his ring work he is singing and dancing – not well – but that’s not the point. He is really hungry to make a statement in this fight against Horn. He’s even playing Shakira during his workouts again and he hasn’t done that in years.”

JARON “BOOTS” ENNIS STOPS ROBERT HILL FOR THIRTEENTH VICTORY

Laat een reactie achter
One of boxing’s most exciting prospects, Ennis returns August 12th in Washington DC
Voor onmiddellijke publicatie

Philadelphia – Juni 27, 2017 – Victory Boxing-promoties’ most talked-about prospect, Jaron “Boots” Ennis, has much to celebrate for his 20th birthday today. The Philadelphia welterweight secured his 13th win at the Durham Armory in North Carolina last Thursday, besting Robert Hill over three rounds.

Heuvel, a veteran of forty fights, came to Durham just one fight removed from an impressive upset victory over the Dominican Republic’s Eudy Bernardo (21-2, 15KO). After three rounds that included Ennis’ trademark punishment to the body, Hill’s corner declined to send him back into the ring for the fourth round, handing Ennis his 13th victory, and his 11th by stoppage.

“I only got hit one time during the fight,” said Ennis. “I went in there, and had fun like I always do. He backed up the whole time. When I first came, I was touching him to the body a lot, and that slowed him down. He didn’t come out for the fourth round.”

Ennis returns to the ring in the co-main event August 12th at Nations Fight Night at the historic Howard Theatre in Washington DC. Ennis will be the co-feature in what will be his first eight-round bout. “I’m thankful to have been so busy since my debut,” said Ennis. “It keeps me sharp, and I’m excited for my first eight rounder. I’m ready to show more of my talent, and the results of my hard work.”

Tickets for Nations Fight Night are priced $60-2000, and are available through Ticketmaster. Deuren voor het evenement geopend 6:00 p.m. and the first bell is at 7:00 p.m.op August 12th.

Michael Dutchover blijft ongeslagen op “Path to Glory”

Laat een reactie achter
Voor onmiddellijke publicatie
ORANJE, Calif./PHILADELPHIA, Penn.(Juni 26, 2017) – Junior lichtgewicht Michael Dutchover (5-0, 4 KO) gebruikt een scala aan vaardigheden om te verslaan Miguel Carrizoza (10-2, 2 KO) met eenparigheid van stemmen van het Doubletree Hotel in Ontario, Calif.

Dutchover controleerde de strijd door het mengen van een krachtige linkse jab, met sterke juiste handen op het hoofd en het lichaam (60-54, 59-55, 58-56).

“Carrizoza is een stoere boxer,” Said Dutchover, die wordt bevorderd door Banner Promoties en Thompson Boksen. “Ik wist dat hij hier kwam met de verwachting van het geven me probleem, maar ik liet hem niet elke vorm van ritme te ontwikkelen. Ik was in opdracht van de hele strijd.”

“Michael keek geweldig. Dit was de aard van de strijd die Michael enorm zal helpen als hij zich blijft ontwikkelen. Voor iemand zo jong in zijn carrière om te vechten een tegenstander met het type record dat Carrizoza heeft, wordt het type gevechtsvliegtuig dat Michael,” zei Banner Promoties voorzitter, Artie Pelullo.

Former World Champion Figueroa and Renowned Trainer Joel Diaz Set a Course to July 15 Showdown Against Robert Guerrero

Figueroa Finds Renewed Focus Amidst 118-Degree Desert Heat

NYCB LIVE’s Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum on Long Island
Klik HIER for Photos from Ryan Greene/Premier Boxing Champions
Indio, ZOALS (Juni 26, 2017) – Zuid-Texas's Omar “De Panterita” Figueroa, a former lightweight world champion, heads into training camp on a balmy 118-degree day in Indio, ZOALS, home to his trainer Joel Diaz and his new boxing home-base since January. Figueroa re-enters the boxing ring on Zaterdag, Juli 15 when he takes on former multiple-division world champion Robert “The Ghost” Krijger in the 147-pound main event of Premier Boxing Champions on FOX and FOX Deportes bij 8 p.m. EN/5 p.m. PT in the first boxing event at the newly-renovated NYCB LIVE, home of the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
The break that Figueroa took saw him embracing his Weslaco, Texas home, which sits right on the border to Mexico. It was a reset that had been coming for a fighter who fought in both Mexico and the U.S. as an amateur before turning pro after his first semester in college.
“Boxing is a very jealous sport. You do it 100% or you don’t do it at all,” said Figueroa explaining his 18-month break from the ring. “After my last fight I felt that I needed a break – time to be a father, a son, a brother and a friend. I needed the time to heal my body, mind and soul. I fought with broken hands, I fought world-class athletes; having fought since I was 6, I wanted to take a break and just be human. So I took a year off to heal from the injuries, be with my family and friends, be a father and just be me.”
It’s a break that Diaz, who Figueroa first trained with three years ago, agrees with. The two made a plan during his break to have the young fighter come from his Weslaco, TX home to California for an extended training period in preparation for his next fight, as well as set up his camp.
“It’s necessary to take time off,” aldus Diaz. “Sometimes fighters work too hard in training or in the action that they bring to the fights. Omar is the type of fighter that brings a lot of action to his fights and it takes a toll on his body. He’s an all-out fighter so he needs that time off to recuperate and restart himself. This break in his body and mind helped him recover from that strain so that he could come back and start fresh again. “
Figueroa faces a tough opponent in Robert Guerrero when he steps back in the ring. Not only is Figueroa fighting above his normal weight-class, but he’s also fighting a former world champion across multiple weight-classes known to be a tough and cunning opponent.
“Guerrero is one of the toughest challenges for any boxer. He is a tough fighter, he doesn’t back down and he doesn’t quit,” Said Figueroa. “You have to go into the fight knowing it’ll go the full 12 rounds and there won’t be any easy moment in the fight. But I’m prepared for that, it’s what I’ve been training for and it’s who I am.
“I’m excited and grateful to be part of bringing boxing back to the Nassau Veterans Coliseum and I plan to set a high standard. When you have fights in this arena, you know they are going be memorable,” added Figueroa.
See below for additional quotes from Figueroa and Diaz:
Omar Figueroa quotes:
On changing camp to Indio, CA and working with Joel Diaz:
“Januari 1 I was back in the boxing mode. Training, rennen, focusing on diet and getting ready and into camp. The break has given me more focus and the opportunity to change my camp up.
“I am back training with Joel Diaz in Indio, CA and have been going back to Texas to see my family. My dad will always be my father and a big part of my career, but I felt that when I ended my break, I wanted to change my program and go back to Joel. This is our first fight back and I’m looking forward to it in many ways.”
Op trainingskamp:
“My health and the time training have been great. I’m getting more and more excited for the fight as I’m getting prepared for it. It’s on my mind.
“Ik ben ouder, I’m wiser, I have been through this before and know what not to do. It’s the wisdom that comes with experience.”
On taking time off:
“It bought me the tranquility and peace of mind that I’m good, I’m healthy, I’m ready for this. This is what I want. I was missing this. I’ve never been more mentally ready for a fight than now.”
On his future:
“I don’t plan ahead; I don’t look to next fights. I look at the now and think about future fights after this one. I want to make sure I’m healthy.
“I don’t get ahead of myself with boxing. I am a boxer, een voormalig wereldkampioen, I love and believe in the power of this sport, but I don’t let it rule my life.”
On training with his brother, Brandon Figueroa, in Indio:
“It helps me, we push each other. My family is very competitive so it helps to have someone like that training with me. It helps to have Brandon here as well as my cousins; we push each other to the limits. We live together, we train together, and we make sure we are the best we can be.”
On fighting for the first time in New York and his expectations:
“This is my first time fighting in New York, I expect the New York crowd to be ready for a good fight, because that’s what they’ll see from me.
“I want to be known for good shows. It’s what we get paid to do as fighters. I showcase the technical side of boxing and add a lot of entertainment behind how I fight, so that’s what the fans get.”
The role that Mexico, Texas and California play in his career;
“I feel like I get the best of all the worlds. I love Mexico – I go there all the time; I plan to go there after the fight. I love California, it’s taught me a lot, de mensen, the culture, the boxing here is phenomenal; and obviously Texas is where I grew up and it’s made me who I am. I love the opportunities that I get and the things I get to do, who I get to do it with and where I get to do it. “
Joel Diaz, Figueroa’s Trainer:

“Trainingskamp is al geweldig, we’ve had no problems like we have had in previous camps with injuries. His hands are healthy, his weight is good and overall he’s healthy. I think the layoff he took helped him a lot, he wants to get back in it and you can tell he’s motivated. It’s a great camp, great atmosphere and that’s what matters.”
On what he’s focusing on:
“Omar Figueroa is a fighter. He’s never going to change. My job is not to change him but make him better. He has a unique style that shows to everyone he’s a very effective puncher and it’s my job to get him in the right condition so he gets hit less, because he’s a risk taker. You wont see much change on the style, you’ll see the same action Omar that people want to see.”
On training both brothers
“They push each other; Omar being the oldest really pushes his brother. They train in two different weight classes and it’s good that they see the work they do amongst each other. They push each other in conditioning and in the ring. It’s good having them together.”
On his role as trainer:
“I’m in this sport for the fighters, my pride and my work. I take a lot of pride in what I do and I am not trying to fight for a trophy nor am I in it for myself. I’m in it for my fighters. This is work and I’m here to take full responsibility for the fighters in my program. I’m here to make my fighters champions in life, not just the ring.
“It took me years of hard work and effort, and now that I’m here I have to work harder, keep my same values and work to stay there.”

Olympic bronze medalist Nico Hernandez Riding on the fast track

Laat een reactie achter

 


LAS VEGAS (Juni 26, 2017) — Fresh off his sensational stoppage of previously undefeated Jose “Mexican Diablo” Rodriguez, 2016 Olympisch bronzen medaillewinnaar Nico Hernandez is riding the fast track to stardom on an exciting journey that’s just really started.
In the June 17th “KO Night Boksen: Snel vuur” main event, which aired live on CBS Sports Network from Hartman Arena in Park City, Kansas, Hernandez improved his record to 2-0 (2 KO), dropping Rodriguez three times and closing the show in the third round..
The 21-year-old Hernandez, uitvechten van Wichita, is already proving to be a better professional boxer that he was an amateur, despite all his accomplishments and achievements in the non-paying ranks, firing effective combinations from a wide variety of angles, including punishing body shots and devastating, powerful punches to his opponent’s head.
Because Hernandez fights in the featherweight division, which is void of overwhelming talent and lacks top-notch Americans, along with his amateur pedigree and experience fighting boxers with different styles, Hernandez can likely crack the world ratings this year, possibily getting a world title shot in 2018.
“I did my thing tonight,” Hernandez said after his June 17th gevecht. “I’ve fought the best at the Olympics, so I wasn’t worried about what he (Rodriguez) hij deed. This fight was a little personal because he’d said he was knocking me out. I got tired of him and went into the ring trying to take him out. We can be friends now.
“I just need to stay on path and I will. I’ve been on the top since I started boxing when I was nine. I want to do what other Olympians like (Ander) Afdeling en (Vasyl) Lomanchenko have done…become world champion!”
The highest-rated flyweight in the world today is 36-year-old Brian Viloria (37-5, 22 KO), the 4-time, 2-division world champion and 2000 U.S. Olympiër. Considering his advanced age for a boxer, de “Hawaian Punch” will probably be retired by the time Hernandez is ready for a world title shot, leaving Oscar Cantu en Miguel Cartagena as the only American featherweights currently rated among the top 25 in de wereld.
“Nico was great in his last fight and everybody is seeing what we want to do with him,” Hernadez’ promotor John Andersen (KO Night Boksen) bekend. “We need to step up the competition for him in his next fight, which will probably be his last six-round bout. Our plan is one more six and then an eight-rounder for the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) International Youth featherweight title. But Nico has options because he can easily drop down to junior flyweight or move up to super flyweight. We’ll take things fight-by-fight with him with an eye on the immediate future for a world title fight.”
The featherweight division, nu, is led by a pair of stars, Kazuto Ioka, van Japan, and Filipino Donnie Nietes. The future of lower weight-classes may very well belong to Nico Hernandez.
