VERONA, 纽约州. (六月 10, 2017) – Undefeated super lightweight Regis Prograis made an emphatic statement 星期五 上的ShoBox: 新一代, knocking down previously undefeated Joel Diaz Jr. four times in the second round as he stamped his arrival as a legitimate contender in the 140-pound division.
The southpaw Prograis (20-0, 17 科斯), who was making his fourth start on the prospect developmental series, called out the top names at 140 after the second round demolition (WHO 2:55) 在维罗纳的Turning Stone Resort Casino, 纽约州.
The special Hall of Fame edition of 的ShoBox: 新一代 featured four members of the International Boxing Hall of Fame: 的ShoBox mainstays Barry Tompkins and Steve Farhood and special guests Al Bernstein and Jimmy Lennon Jr. Tompkins and Farhood will be inducted just down the road in Canastota 星期日 在 2017 class headlined by boxing greats Evander Holyfield, Marco Antonio Barrera and Johnny Tapia.
The super lightweights, Prograis and Diaz, entered the main event with a combined record of 42-0, but it was clear they were in a different class after the first round. Prograis knocked down Diaz in the opening 30 seconds of the second in an exchange that appeared to be the result of a clash of feet. Regardless, Prograis smelled blood and pounced on Diaz, flooring him again with a straight left midway through the round.
The Houston resident, who relocated from New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, knocked down Diaz again just 15 seconds later with a straight left. The fourth and final knockdown, courtesy of a left hook, sent Diaz (23-1, 19 科斯) tumbling back and was enough for referee Mark Nelson to halt the bout with just seconds left on the clock.
It was a convincing statement for Prograis, 谁登陆 62 percent of his power shots in the toughest test of his career.
“今晚 I proved I graduated from 的ShoBox,” Prograis 说. “I’m ready for the bigger stage. I’m ready for the big show. I want to fight best the best in the division. 我想要 (特伦斯) 克劳福德, (胜利者) Postol, (阿德里安) Broner. 我要他们所有. None of these guys have fought anybody like me. The boogeyman is coming. They better get ready.
“他很坚强, he was strong and hit hard, but I went through it. That’s another opponent I ran through. I run through everybody. I’m ready for my shot. I’m coming for everybody at 140.”
迪亚兹, 谁成为 164日 fighter to suffer his first defeat on the series, was clearly disappointed with his game plan.
“I went out there too hyper, trying to kill him,” Diaz said. “I went out too aggressive. I should have toned it down a bit. 我有 10 rounds but I just went out there trying to take him out. I should’ve calmed down.
“I should have used my jab a bit more to knock him down but I came out swinging.”
Super middleweight prospect Steve Rolls managed to maintain his undefeated record with a closely contested eight-round slip decision victory over Demond Nicholson scored 77-75 尼科尔森, 77-74 劳斯莱斯, 77-74 劳斯莱斯.
Rolls got off to a quick start, flooring Nicholson with a left hook in the closing seconds of the first to pocket a 10-8 圆. He came out attacking to sweep the second, but the fight appeared to change course in the third when Nicholson hurt Rolls in the final minute with his first meaningful punch of the fight.
尼科尔森 (17-2-1, 16 科斯) carried the momentum to sweep the fourth, but the remaining four rounds featured back-and-forth action and were difficult to score. 劳斯莱斯 (16-0, 9 科斯) was the slightly busier fighter, 连接上 412 相比于总拳 390 超过八轮, but Nicholson edged his opponent 134-117 总所连接.
的ShoBox announcers Tompkins, Farhood and Raul Marquez all had Nicholson winning the final six rounds and edging Rolls 77-74 on their unofficial scorecards.
“What made the difference for me 今晚 was my jab, my patience, my overall boxing ability,” Rolls said. “I came in to this fight having no doubts. Nicholson was talking beforehand about my last fight, he was talking about my footwork, and I knew he was going to be in for a big surprise. I adapt for each fight.
“I knew I had him from the first round. My corner calmed me down and told me to take my time.”
尼科尔森, who has mostly competed at 160 英镑, disagreed with the judges’ decision.
“I’m not going to make any excuses. He won the fight,” Nicholson said. “That’s what the judges saw, but I don’t agree. He hurt me in the first round. He hit me viciously in the head. I was dizzy but I recovered and I went on. I think I did a very good job but clearly not enough.
“I can’t fight at 160 – I’m a 168-pounder. Fighting at that weight drained me. I wasn’t at my best.”
在转播的开幕回合, undefeated lightweight prospect Jon Fernandez scored a brutal knockout of Juan Reyes at2:36 第二轮.
Fernandez stepped on the gas from the opening bell, utilizing superior activity and accuracy to pick apart the game yet outmatched Reyes. The pair combined to throw 240 punches in the opening stanza but Fernandez landed his right at will and was clearly the more effective fighter.
The Sergio Martinez protégé had a bloodied Reyes hurt in the opening minute of the second and closed the show in the final minute with a sharp right to the ear that sent Reyes (14-4-3, 2 科斯) falling back toward the canvas. The perfectly placed punch had Reyes seemingly out before he hit the floor.
The Spaniard Fernandez (13-0, 11 科斯) landed a staggering 55 percent of his power shots and 40 他的总拳%的.
“The one-two, one-two was the key to opening the door,” Fernandez said. “The straight right hand is one of my best punches and I caught Reyes in the perfect spot. I hope he is OK. I feel that I am ready for the next level. I’ll fight wherever there is an opportunity, but I believe the big fights are here in the U.S.”
Reyes was responsive but taken to the hospital as a precautionary measure.
周五 tripleheader will replay 周一 在 10 P.M. AND/PT在Showtime极端,将可在Showtime ON DEMAND® 和SHOWTIME ANYTIME®.

最后QUOTES:
雷吉斯Prograis
“The person that wins this fight goes up, hopefully, to a title fight. 我 19-0, 他 23-0. I feel like this is a real big fight.
“I take all my opponents seriously, but I’m taking this one even more seriously than others in the past. 他 23-0, and there’s a reason he’s undefeated. He’s good, and he has the best record I’ve ever faced.
“I’m at a stage in my career where every fight can lead to the next big thing and I think this fight may be it for me. I’m patient, but I’m ready for more. I want a shot at a title.
“He’s a brawler fighter, but I have the better punching power, 和速度.
“If I feel like he [迪亚兹] can’t hurt me from the first round, I’ll probably just walk him down the whole night and punish him.
“Seeing what [埃罗尔] Spence did motivates me, especially the way he did it in his opponent’s hometown. It got me thinking: that can be me one day. We went at it in the amateurs, so I know how good he is, but I’m good too. Just seeing him go over there and take the title away, I know my time is coming next.
“I grew up watching Macho Camacho, 罗伯托·杜兰, 迈克·泰森, but I watched more Duran than anything. I really liked his style. I learned a lot watching the boxing greats on tape.
“Terence Crawford, 阿德里安Broner, Victor Postol. Those are the type of guys I want to fight.
“I started boxing in New Orleans, and if it wasn’t for Katrina, I probably wouldn’t be where I am right now. When I moved to Houston, I got into the boxing scene and started taking it seriously. It was a horrible situation [在新奥尔良], but it changed my life.
“My family went back [to New Orleans], but not me. I stayed in Houston to box. I feel it’s not time for me to go back home just yet. I’ll come back when I become a superstar, like I’m supposed to be.”
Joel Diaz Jr.
“This is my chance, this is my opportunity. I’ve been told, ‘you only get one chance’, and this is it for me. I know Regis is good, but we’re going to put it on him. I’m going to be on him like flies on shit. This is one of the opportunities I can’t let pass.
“We’re going to break him down mentally, find our way in, and drop the bomb.
“He throws combos, and that’s what I have to take away from him. I have to be on him and be the first to attack. My power will take care of his speed.
“This means a lot to me, getting to show the world who the ‘secret’ is. People haven’t really seen what I have, but there will be no more secrets after 明天.
“I’m going to show the world who the real Joel Diaz is. I’m now at the right weight for me and I’m 110 百分. I didn’t waste four weeks of training camp trying to lose weight. 我觉得强.
“A world championship after this fight, 这就是我想要. This is my opportunity to actually show who I am and I can’t let it go. If I let this go, I might as well go back to school. This is going to open all the doors for me.
“We’ve been ready for this step for a while. I’d like to fight the winner of [阿德里安] Broner- [米奇] 加西亚, 但我们会看到. I know Broner doesn’t want to fight me. I tried to fight him and he turned it down. He knows I’ll give him trouble.
“I changed trainers. I used to be with Abel Ramos, now I’m with Chris Byrd. With Coach Chris, it’s more defense than offense. Working with Chris is amazing. He was a fighter, so he knows what it takes to step in that ring. 他在那里, so he understands me from a fighter’s perspective and that’s very important for me. The bond we have inside and outside the ring is special.
“You’re going to see a more active Joel Diaz and a more defensive Joel Diaz. I’m going to show the world who Joel Diaz is at 140 and trust me, they will ask for more after they see it.”
史蒂夫劳斯莱斯
“My last fight on 的ShoBox [against Steed Woodall in December 2015] was a learning experience. I was knocked down in the third, but I rebounded. You never know how you are going to react in the face of adversity until you are put in that position. I’m glad that happened early on in my career. It taught me a lot.
“I’m know I’m 33, but I feel better than when I was younger. I take care of myself. I have a clean lifestyle. Age is not a thing for me.
“Nicholson has a good jab. I’ve seen him fight before. I’m not sure if he’s made adjustments or if he’s coming with a different game plan. 我已经准备好了一切,他带来了.
“From what I’ve seen, 他可以打. He knows what he’s doing in there and it looks like he has some experience.”
Demond尼科尔森
“This guy [劳斯莱斯] is not as experienced as me. I’m a big step-up for him.
“My last fight [against Immanuwel Aleem] was a big step up, and I fought to a majority draw. It was a slow start, but I’m a fighter, and I soldiered through. That fight really opened my eyes up to better my career, my future.
“Look at what Aleem has done since we fought. He knocked out an undefeated guy [Ievgen Khytrov] that no one wanted to face.
“My experience is going to get us over the hump against this guy. He has a dangerous right hand, but I’m going to take that away from him.
“I’m a natural boxer, but people were calling me a brawler after my performance with Aleem and that’s not who I am. But I get it – I didn’t box at all in that fight. That’s why I had to go back to the drawing board.
“I learned a lot training at Head Bangers in Washington, D.C. 与巴里·亨特, Lamont Peterson and all those guys. I’ve learned from Lamont, from Adrien Broner, from Austin Trout. They spar with top fighters and that’s why they perform at the highest level – because they’ve sparred with the best. So I’m doing the same.”
“I have one loss, and that taught me a lot. 我不得不输 15 英镑 in three days for that fight and that took a toll on me. There are no issues making weight for this fight.”
约翰·费尔南德斯
“This is my second fight with my new trainer Tinin Rodriguez. I always try to get better and changing trainers seemed to be the best path for me. He’s helping me round up the fundamentals of boxing.
“I know I’m tall for my weight class, but I feel OK. 我认为 130 is my ideal weight, but I might go up in weight in the future. 我们会看到. I’m still young and I have a long career ahead of me.
“I used to watch tape of Maravilla when I was growing up. He inspired me to be serious about boxing. He was so good. It’s such of honor to be working with him. I respect him a lot.”
Juan Reyes
“I haven’t fought anybody that tall, but I have a good game plan. I know he’s a volume puncher, but that’s just going to get me excited. It’ll get my adrenaline pumping.
“I’m excited that I’m fighting on TV and in such special weekend, it’s the Boxing Hall of Fame. 这是一个梦想成真. If I beat this guy it could change my life.”
Sergio Martinez – Jon Fernandez Co-Promoter
“Jon is a thinker. He knows when to attack and when to defend himself. He’s truly gifted.
“Some may draw comparisons of him with Paul Williams, but I fought Williams twice and let me tell you they are not alike. Paul was the type of fighter that would get in the ring and go from first, to second, to third gear without thinking. JonFer will read you, will go to whatever gear he needs to be to defeat his opponent. He has a very high boxing IQ.”
Chris Byrd – Diaz’s Trainer
“Joel is an aggressive machine, so my main focus has been on developing his defense. He’s a talented boxer, but his aggressiveness sometimes opens holes in his defense. In this training camp, we worked on that. We have a good strategy going.
“He already knew how to fight, but you just have to push him a little bit on defense. He’s still aggressive as ever, but he needed to think about what’s coming back at him.
“My main thing is life after boxing. I have two brothers that are messed up from boxing. That’s why I focus on defense so much. He has an aggressive style, but he also has talent, good feet and eye coordination. He’ll go on to do great things.
“You’re going to see something special. Regis is good, I give him props, but you’re going to see something special from Joel. And a great fight.”

“He already knew how to fight, but you just have to push him a little bit on defense. He’s still aggressive as ever, but he needed to think about what’s coming back at him.
“My main thing is life after boxing. I have two brothers that are messed up from boxing. That’s why I focus on defense so much. He has an aggressive style, but he also has talent, good feet and eye coordination. He’ll go on to do great things.
“You’re going to see something special. Regis is good, I give him props, but you’re going to see something special from Joel. And a great fight.”

以下是沃德团队的一些重要评论:
安德烈“S.O.G.”病房 – 统一轻重量级世界冠军
“这是一种祝福, 湾区球迷一直为我以及他们为运动员所做的事情, 无论它们是本土的还是从其他城市移植的. 他们只是欣赏那些走出去并很好地代表他们的人. 他们总是回报我们的恩惠.
“我很享受我的胜利,就像我享受任何其他胜利一样. 人们必须明白,任何时候都会有一个势均力敌的决定, 不管怎样你都会有意见. 我从来没有否认这是一个势均力敌的决定,但所有那些人都说这是一些家常菜, 他们必须记住我不是, 你知道, 从拉斯维加斯, 内华达. 你不能只强调它的那一面. 你必须强调那些也认为我应得的胜利的人 (那它) 是一次巨大的回归. 不需要经过深思熟虑的决定就会受到批评. 我把男人们拒之门外 12 回合并受到批评. 所以在一段时间后你就会对其产生免疫力.
“就像我之前说的, [科瓦廖夫的] 好战士. 事实并非如此,但我尊重他. 他是冠军,一旦你成为冠军并卫冕你的金腰带, 你是人生的冠军.
“我以为我至少赢了两回合. 但最终, 有一些势均力敌的回合,您可以将其称为“摇摆回合”. 我不知道这个人如何评价这一轮比赛,也不知道他们对此有何感受,但如果你看看记分卡, 我认为评委们做得非常出色,因为他们一致同意.
“我很荣幸能够代表我的国家,自从我有幸能够做到这一点以来,我一直在这样做 [如] 一个从青少年奥林匹克级别一直到奥运会的小男孩. 作为一名职业球员,我参加过很多国际比赛,能够居住在美国并代表我的国家参赛是我的荣幸. 我一直尝试这样做, 不管我在和谁战斗.
“我认为第一场比赛是一场伟大的比赛. 我认为第一场比赛有很多戏剧性, 比我想要的更多的戏剧. 我认为这是一场激烈的战斗,我相信, 第二轮将是一场激烈的战斗.
“我在擂台上遇到过很多逆境. 你知道, 其中一些公众已经看到. 很多, 有可能, 公众在许多健身房或许多陪练课程中都没有看到过,以及在这项运动中达到一定水平所需要做的一切. 我知道我身上有什么. 我以前曾在画布上. 我在打架中受过伤. 我被砍了. 事情已经发生并且, 你知道, 如果我身体可以的话,我的反应总是一样的, 我想把它拿回来. 我还有一位出色的教练,他是我的教父. 你看到他转变并进入不同的档位来告诉我我需要听到的内容. 他并不惊慌,但他有一种紧迫感,他告诉了我我需要听到的内容. 他只是让我想起了所有曾经辉煌的伟人. 他只是提醒我这是 [我的] 片刻. 而且有时候在打架的时候, 尤其是在这样的时刻, 这并不是什么技术性的东西……而是一种感觉.
“在物理方面, 当我还是个小男孩的时候,维吉尔就很有先见之明. 他看到我有很多的能力和技能. 他总是告诉我,我不看事物 [I] 做得好, 我看看你能在哪里被打败. 他说当我 11, 12 (或) 13 岁, “现在唯一会给你带来麻烦的款式是圆锯。”
“如今,刺拳已成为一门失传的艺术. 熟练的内线格斗确实是一门失传的艺术,很多人都不想在那里. 他们希望你在射程内. 他们希望你在某个地方,如果他们不能让你在那里,那么你会看到一个完全不同的战士.
“所以除了我的家庭之外, 我真的没有很多可以拿起电话打电话的前战士. 所以我只是尽力做到有空, 有我的电话吗, 并在我需要的地方腾出时间 (对于一些年轻的战士来说). 他们会让您知道他们需要谈论什么以及他们想要谈论什么. 如果我有答案, 我一定会给他们我能给他们的一切. 如果我不, 我会尽力帮助他们找到它,因为最终, 无论是克拉丽莎 [希尔兹] 或沙库尔 [史蒂文森], 我是为了战士. 我是职业格斗家. 我们谈论 [训练] 但更重要的是生活——保持稳定并立即做出正确的决定,以便在未来的道路上, 你很高兴你做了你必须做的事. 能够成为那些战士愿意拿起电话打电话的人是一种荣幸. 我不认为它是一种负担. 这是一种荣誉和特权。”
Virgil Hunter – 安德烈·沃德的教练
“我们度过了一个很好的训练营. 我们的训练营非常顺利, 你希望他们成为什么样的人. 有时情况并不总是如此,但这次我们很幸运,一切顺利. 很高兴看到安德烈在四场比赛后回到健身房,看到他越来越接近真正的自己——不仅仅是作为一个战士和一个战斗者,一个内心充满狗性的人,而且还非常熟练拳师. 我很期待六月 17 那天晚上让安德烈用他的左手和右手说话.
“[安德烈是] 作为一名专业人士,他已经经历过这一切了 24 他生命中的岁月. 你必须明白,当他去参加奥运会时,他已经三个月没有和我在一起了. 所以他是专业人士. 他知道该怎么做. 他是我离开小镇一周最不担心的人. 这是运动的一部分. 这是游戏的一部分. 当你有像安德烈这样的专业人士时, 你知道, 你不担心这些事情.
“出于多种原因,对手肯定不会在这场战斗中看到同一架战斗机. 无需透露,但我们总是会制定多个计划或任何需要在特定时间实施的计划. 当然, 我不会要求他做任何我知道他做不到、没有做过或没有练习过的事情,但我们很幸运能够调整和适应. 我相信我们为 A 计划所做的工作已经足够了.
“业余爱好者就是当你处于顶级水平并在顶级水平战斗时. 你参加全国锦标赛,往往会多次见到某些对手,甚至不止两次. 所以从某种意义上来说, [其他] 已经进行过复赛. 就这场复赛而言,我只能说“哦,天哪。”这就是我能说的.
“第一场比赛没有任何恐惧或不安. 你不能拥有那个. 当然, 你知道对手会带来什么. 我们知道你有一个更大的对手或更强大的对手, 能出拳的对手. 我们知道这一切,但我们以前经历过这种情况. 我的意思是,当他参加奥运会轻重量级比赛时,人们不知道或者他们从未承认他只是 170 英镑. 所以, 他正在放弃体重, 那里的高度和尺寸. 所以, 他已经习惯了. 他已经习惯了. 由于他的体力、耐力和智商,他能够克服其他拳击手可能拥有的所有这些所谓的优势. 所以, 我们再次尊重我们的对手,我们尊重科瓦列夫所做的事情和他有能力做的事情. 这是一种健康的尊重,但这并不能阻止他被粉碎 六月 17.
“我的工作就是在那个现实的时刻. 我知道 [其他] 会接受并理解我所说的话,因为这是我和他之间的事, 多年来我们谈论过的事情, 多次. 有时你只需要把策略抛到九霄云外,然后向你认识的斗士求助. 而且我知道他是谁。”
乔什·杜宾 (Josh Dubin) – 安德烈·沃德 (Andre Ward) 的顾问兼律师
“代表詹姆斯·普林斯和我自己, 我只是想感谢大家参与这次电话会议. 我们非常感谢HBO的支持, 我们所有的赞助商都挺身而出,当然还有, ROC国家. 冒着让维吉尔更不舒服的风险, 我确实觉得从上到下我们都有最好的团队,当然, 世界上最好的教练. 我很幸运能够参与这样一个历史性的活动. 我知道在 六月 17 你会在那枚戒指中看到魔法,并且是最好的戒指之一, 如果不是最好的, 踏上擂台,再次做他的事。”
迈克尔·R. Yormark – 中华民国总统 & 品牌与战略主管
“明显, 沃德-科瓦列夫 2: “复赛”有潜力成为年度最佳之战. 正如你所听到的和你所写的,这些战士彼此不喜欢. 这些战士彼此不尊重,这显然引起了很大的争议, 对下周的比赛充满好奇和期待.
“正如你所听到的,安德烈在这场比赛后一次又一次地表示,没有任何借口. 毫无疑问,这场比赛的胜利者绝对是拳击运动中的拳王。”
