NEW YORK (Mars 21, 2017) – Undefeated former Russian amateur standout Dmitry Bivol will defend his Interim WBA Light Heavyweight Title against Samuel Clarkson in the 12-round main event of ShoBox: La Nouvelle Génération sur Vendredi, Avril 14 survivre AFFICHER L'HEURE (10 p.m. ET/PT) at MGM National Harbor in National Harbor, Maryland, just outside of Washington, D.C.

Known for his aggressive style, Buffle (9-0, 7 KOs, 2-0 WSB) was a prominent amateur who is now determined to make his mark in one of boxing’s toughest weight classes. Clarkson (19-3, 12 KOs), de Cedar Hill, Texas, has won his last nine fights in a row and will make his third appearance on ShoBox.

In a co-featured matchup of undefeated welterweight prospects, former amateur standouts Juan Ruiz (18-0, 11 KOs) et Malik Hawkins (10-0, 7 KOs) will square off in an eight-round 147-pound bout.

Dans l'ouvreur télédiffusé, Baltimore featherweight Glenn Dezurn (8-0, 6 KOs), who is trained by the renowned Barry Hunter, will take on an opponent to be named in an eight-round bout.

Dmitry Bivol vs. Samuel Clarkson – 12 Round Light Heavyweight Bout:

Buffle, who compiled an impressive amateur record of 285-15, is looking to break through in a division which features the likes of Adonis Stevenson, Andre Ward, Sergey Kovalev and Badou Jack. Last May in Moscow, the 26-year-old won the Interim WBA Light Heavyweight Title in only his seventh professional fight with a unanimous decision over previously undefeated Felix Valera.

Bivol has since won twice, both times on Russian soil, including a fourth-round knockout of Robert Berridge in defense of his interim belt.

“I am very glad that this will be my first fight televised in the U.S.,” said Bivol, who is fighting for the third time in America. “It’s great that this is main event because that motivates me. Clarkson is a good defensive fighter. He can be aggressive and I expect this to be a tough fight. I look forward to introducing myself to American fans with a great performance, and I plan to defend my title with an exciting victory.”

Clarkson has registered nine consecutive victories following a loss to the current unbeaten Jesse Hart (21-0). Clarkson moved up in weight to beat Cedric Agnew (27-1) en Février 2015, et a ShoBox knockout wins over Jerry Odom (13-1) en Juillet 2015 and Lavarn Harvell (15-1) en Octobre 2015.

“This is a huge opportunity to prove my abilities to the world,”A déclaré Clarkson. “Bivol is a crafty fighter from Russia and had a very impressive amateur career, mostly at 165 livres. He’s a good fighter and I definitely have to bring my A-game.

“I’m ready for the challenge because I do really well against European fighters. European fighters are slow and come forward a lot, and they’re not big on head movement. We are working hard and have a lot of guys in the gym who fight with a similar style. By fight time I’ll be ready for anything he has.

“I had to make up my mind if I wanted to be the lion or the lamb and, à la fin, I decided I don’t like losing. I rededicated myself and now I can’t be stopped.”

Juan Ruiz vs. Malik Hawkins – Eight-Round Welterweight Bout:

The son of a former fighter, Ruiz is originally from Venezuela and fights out of Baja California, Mexique. He lost just eight times in 220 combats amateurs, was a six-time Venezuela national champion and was part of the Venezuelan National Team. The undefeated Ruiz has won via knockout in seven of his last nine fights.

“This is a golden ticket for me to show what I’m capable of,"Ruiz a dit. “I will do my best to give the fans watching on TV and those attending the fight the best show possible.

The 21-year-old Baltimore-resident Hawkins was 92-8 as an amateur and shares the same trainer – Calvin Ford – as stablemate and IBF Junior Lightweight Champion Gervonta Davis. Hawkins, qui était le 2012 Bronze Medalist in the Junior Olympics, will face his toughest test to date in fellow undefeated Juan Ruiz.

“This is a huge chance for me to showcase my skills and show I belong among the best in the welterweight division,” Hawkins said. “There’s nothing he can bring I haven’t seen, and I plan on making him fight my fight.

“I get better when I fight talented fighters. Pour être honnête, nobody I have fought so far has brought out the best in me, but I’m hoping that Ruiz does just that. A victory over him would put me in position to fight the opponents I need to fight to take that next step toward becoming a contender.”

Glenn Dezurn vs. TBD – Eight-Round Featherweight Bout:

The undefeated Dezurn, who was a three-sport star athlete in high school, was an amateur standout who compiled an 87-7 record in the unpaid ranks under the tutelage of Barry Hunter. The Baltimore native is married to female boxer and U.S. Olympic alternate Franchon Crews, who fought Claressa Shields in the amateurs and in her pro debut.

WBA Lightweight World Champion Jorge Linares and former champion Anthony Crolla participated in a public workout at National Football Museum in Manchester, Angleterre mardi in preparation for their rematch ce samedi, en direct sur Showtime (6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT) depuis Manchester Arena.

 

Linares (41-3, 27 KOs) dethroned Crolla (31-5-3, 13 KOs) in an action-packed battle last September in Manchester to capture the WBA crown. Crolla and Linares were neck-and-neck going into the sixth round until Linares rocked the hometown favorite with a series of shots that galvanized the Venezuelan toward a close 115-114, 115-113 et 117-111 décision unanime.

 

Le Sept. 24 match was the first time the three-division titlist Linares, who also holds the WBC Diamond and Ring Magazine lightweight belts, was pushed the 12-round distance in his career.

 

The WBC has mandated that the winner of Linares-Crolla II must face undefeated WBC Lightweight Champion Mikey Garcia, who will join host Brian Custer and analysts Al Bernstein and Paulie Malignaggi in New York for the SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL presentation.

 

Below are fight week quotes from Linares and Crolla:

 

JORGE LINARES:

 

“Crolla could come better prepared than last time. Maybe he will throw more punches, maybe he will box more, I don’t really know. The most important thing is I hope he has worked really hard and comes in great condition so there are no excuses and no doubts after the fight.

 

“I can fight even better this time. Before the first fight I had a broken right hand and I hadn’t fought for a while. That’s always a factor, vous savez? Inactivity. I haven’t had any issues physically or mentally, so the preparation has been great. We did 129 rounds of sparring and everything has gone well up to this point.

 

“I know he has been quiet in the build-up, I don’t mind if he hasn’t spoken much lately. Let’s just hope it’s a clean fight like the first one.”

 

“The plans are in the future to get the biggest fights. Obviously the priority right now is to stay focused Samedi but then I’ll look towards the big fights like against Mikey Garcia.

 

“I really think coming to train with Ismael Salas made the difference. It’s what helped me really establish myself as a professional fighter and to gain more experience. We learn ‘old school’ as Salas always says. It really has worked well for me in the two years I’ve been with him.”

 

“I feel really good because this time we had a lot more time to prepare. We did some of the training camp in Japan and then eight weeks in Las Vegas.

 

“I’m happy to be back here in England again and have another opportunity. I get treated very well, I feel comfortable fighting here. The fans here have a lot of boxing knowledge and they know me well. It’s nice, I feel at home.”

 

ANTHONY CROLLA:

 

“It will be another good fight, ce est sûr. Our styles gel really well and I don’t see how it can’t be another good fight, but this time I see a different winner. The key will be adapting. I might need to adapt a number of times in the fight but it is something I have trained for.

 

“I learned a lot from that fight. Linares has very good speed, very good ring craft and he used his big fight experience for when to take a rest, when to turn it on for the judges.

 

“This time I know I need to deal with the flashy combinations better, cut the ring off better and capitalize when he is open for shots.

 

“He has said he will come with another game plan but so will we. Last time I gave it everything, left it all in the ring, but I came up short. The right man won on the night and now I have a second chance at winning back the belt and beating a great fighter.

 

“I was disappointed I lost – you should never be happy with losing – but I was satisfied I gave everything on the night. When I watched it again there were things in the fight where I thought, ‘why didn’t I do this, why didn’t I do that’, but that is what I did do in the heat of the battle.

 

“You see people online saying Linares is a level above and that he outclassed me – he obviously didn’t outclass me because two of the judges only had a point in it. The right man won and now I need to show my improvements and make sure the result is different.

 

“Last time out in Manchester I lost a close fight but with the improvements I have been making in the gym I believe this time it will be a different result.

 

“The rematch was always top of my list. Linares is top of the pile in the lightweight division and if there was a chance of having a rematch that was always more important to me than any other fight. I want to fight the best and be involved in the big fights and that’s what this is.

 

“I want the chance to stake my claim as the best lightweight in the world by going out there and beating him.

 

“I wasn’t going to turn down a rematch to try and ease myself back into title contention. I want these big fights; these big nights in Manchester are what I thrive on.

 

“I feel better than I have ever felt. Camp has gone really well and there will certainly be no excuses. I have had no distractions outside of camp and everything is good. It is a matter now of showing in the ring ce soir the improvements I have been showing in the gym.

 

“I have had no social life for the past few months and I will walk to the ring knowing that, knowing I have prepared in the best way I possibly can. There will be no ‘what if I had done this’, ‘what if I had done that’ – I have prepared the best I possibly can.”

2016 Olympic bronze medalist Nico Hernandez Joins elite group Saturday night in pro debut “KO Night Boxing: L'histoire commence”

POUR DIFFUSION IMMÉDIATE
Mars 25 on CBS Sports Network live from Kansas Star Arena

MULVANE, Kansas (Mars 20, 2017)– 2016 Olympic bronze medalist Nico Hernandez will join an elite group ce samedi night as he makes his professional debut in the “KO Night Boxing: L'histoire commence” événement principal, aération (9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT) on CBS Sports Network live from Kansas Star Arena in Mulvane, Kansas.
“KO Night Boxing: L'histoire commence” est présenté par KO Night Boxing LLC, in association with Kansas Star Casino, and sponsored by Miller Lite, Mel Hambelton FORD and TITLE Boxing.
In his six-round bout against upset-minded Las Vegas (Nevada) masselotte Patrick Gutierrez (0-2), Wichita-native Hernandez will become only the fourth United States Olympic medalist in the last 40 years to make his pro debut at home in a nationally televised main event.
The other three members of this special quartet, all Olympic gold medalists and pro debut winners, include Hall of Famer “Sucre” Ray Leonard (Février. 5, 1977, in Baltimore, MD, champion du monde deux fois Mark Breland et challenger titre mondial Paul “Super Fly” Gonzales.
It’s a great feeling,” the 21-year-old Hernandez said from training camp. “I am feeling some pressure but, once I’m in the ring, everything goes away. There definitely is some pressure on me because I’m fighting where everybody knows me in my hometown. Si, Je ne peux pas perdre. Aux Jeux Olympiques, all the Americans there gave me more energy to win. I didn’t want to lose in front of my people. Fighting at home will push me to do my best.
I’m not really focused on fighting on national television. I’m going out there to put on a boxing clinic and, if the knockout comes, ça arrive. If it happens, it happens, but not going in there looking for a knockout. I’m used to fighting only three rounds (en tant qu'amateur) mais, as the fight goes on, I’ve always gotten better. Six rounds do give me more time to work on my opponent and do more damage.

NEW YORK (Mars 20, 2017) – WBC Lightweight World Champion Mikey Garcia will join the SHOWTIME announce team as a guest analyst for the rematch between WBA Lightweight World Champion Jorge Linares and Anthony Crolla on Samedi, Mars 25 direct sur Showtime à 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT.

 

Three-division world champion Garcia, (36-0, 30 KOs), will join host Brian Custer and analysts Al Bernstein and Paulie Malignaggi in New York for the SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL® presentation of Crolla vs. Linares II, which will air live from Manchester Arena in Manchester, Angleterre.

 

I’m excited to participate as guest analyst for this rematch,”A déclaré Garcia. “These are two of the most competitive boxers in my division. Jorge Linares won the first fight, but Crolla can create a different outcome.

 

Linares has good hand speed, timing, reflexes and has power in both hands. Crolla has a good right hand and has shown some solid body work in his recent fights. While Crolla is getting better with each fight, Linares is likely still the better boxer, and should edge him out in a close fight.

 

Linares (41-3, 27 KOs) dethroned Crolla (31-5-3, 13 KOs) in a thrilling battle last fall in Manchester to capture the WBA crown. Le Sept. 24 match was the first time the three-division titlist Linares, who also holds the WBC Diamond and Ring Magazine lightweight belts, was pushed the 12-round distance in his career.

 

The WBC has mandated that the winner of Linares-Crolla II must face the hard-hitting Garcia, who knocked out defending champion Dejan Zlaticanin on Jan. 28 on SHOWTIME in just his second fight back following a 30-month layoff.

 

Linares-Crolla II is the second lightweight world title bout on SHOWTIME in 2017 and an important fight toward potentially unifying the resurgent 135-pound division.

Mat “Tireur pointu” Remillard's Ring revient sans poisson d'avril

WORCESTER, Masse. (Mars 20, 2017) – Le long voyage de retour commence en avril 1st pour Mat “Tireur pointu” Rémillard, 12 ans jour pour jour depuis ses débuts professionnels, sur “L'avenir de la Nouvelle-Angleterre 2” spectacle au Palladium de Worcester, Massachusetts.
Rémillard (23-1, 13 KOs), combattre à partir de Manchester, Connecticut, n'a pas boxé depuis six ans, parce qu'il purge une peine de cinq ans de prison. Il affronte Lawrence (MA) léger Augustin “Impitoyable” Maura (6-1-3, 3 KOs) dans la co-métrage de huit rondes. Si leur temps, un regard presque volatil lors d'une récente conférence de presse est une véritable indication, Rémillard contre. Mauras ne tient pas la distance, pour mettre les choses avec douceur.
L'avenir de la Nouvelle-Angleterre 2″ est présenté par Rivera Promotions Entertainment (À propos de nous), qui est détenue et exploitée par trois retraités, double champion du monde de division Jose Antonio Rivera et son fils, Antoine (A.J.) Rivera.
“Je suis ravi d'avoir un boxeur du calibre de Remillard sur notre 'New England's Future 2’ boxe événement,” le promoteur Jose Antonio Rivera a fait remarquer. “Il a un match difficile contre August Time Mauras pour son premier combat. Connaître Rémillard, bien que, il ne voudrait pas qu'il en soit autrement. Je veux remercier Matt, Paul Cichon (entraîneur en chef) et leur équipe pour avoir fait confiance à Rivera Promotions Entertainment pour le premier match de boxe de Matt après sa longue mise à pied.”
Rémillard est un ancien World Boxing Council (WBC) Etats-Unis & Monde de la jeunesse, Fédération nord-américaine de boxe (NABF) et l'Organisation mondiale de boxe (WBO) champion poids plume. Sa seule défaite professionnelle est survenue lors de son dernier combat, Mars 23, 2011 à Atlantic City puis étoile montante Mikey Garcia (24-0), quand Rémillard a pris sa retraite après 11 tours. Il ne fera pas d'excuses; cependant, il n'aurait jamais dû se battre avec Garcia, faire face à l'affaire judiciaire imminente qui l'a envoyé en prison et travailler avec un nouvel entraîneur en chef qu'il n'avait rencontré que deux semaines avant le combat.
“Je suis convaincu que je peux revenir là où j'étais dans environ un an,” dit Rémillard, 30 ans. “Un rêve devenu réalité serait une revanche avec Garcia, à tout poids, mais je dois mériter ce coup. Tout le monde veut une revanche avec le gars qui t'a donné la première défaite. Cela arrive rarement mais, sinon, avec le temps je crois qu'il y aura d'autres gros combats pour moi.
“Je combats un adversaire qui s'est battu par pote, Chip Perez, trois fois (0-2-1), donc je connais son style. Il ne recule pas. Je ne m'attends pas à ce qu'il recule contre moi…jusqu'à ce qu'il sente mon pouvoir. Je vais retirer ces cinq années que j'étais loin de lui. J'ai traversé tellement de choses ces six dernières années, mais je suis plus à l'aise au gymnase. Le passé est passé et c'est ma dernière course. Paul et moi avons beaucoup de choses à régler.”
Il y a dix-sept ans, Chicon a rencontré Remillard pour la première fois au gymnase Manchester PAL, mais il a permis au boxeur en herbe de 13 ans de gagner sa chance d'être formé. Paul a demandé à Matt de nettoyer les salles de bain, prendre soin des seaux à broche, etc. avant qu'il ne commence à l'entraîner.
“Quand il est retourné au gymnase il y a quelques mois, J'ai vu que son éthique de travail n'avait pas disparu,” Cichon a commenté. “Je ne crois pas qu'il soit vraiment si loin d'où il était il y a six ans. Il a été inactif pendant cinq ans, mais son premier jour de retour, il s'est battu 12 tours. Il est resté en bonne forme physique et a plus faim que jamais. Il pense qu'il a quelque chose à prouver après son dernier combat, mais il n'a vraiment rien à me prouver ni à personne d'autre. Il combat un enfant dur mais Matt va être victorieux. Je pense que dans quatre ou cinq combats de plus, il sera de retour là où il était en boxe.”
Pembroke (MA) cruiserweight Vinnie “Cauchemar américain” histoire (15-1-1, 14 Les KO feront la une contre le spécialiste brésilien du KO Gilberto Matheus “La magie” les dimanches (22-6, 20 KOs), l'ancien champion sud-américain des mi-lourds, en cas de huit tour.

EN TRAIN DE LIRE, Pennsylvanie (Mars 18, 2017) – In a 12-round heavyweight war that lived up to the hype, Amir Mansour (23-2-1, 16 KOs) was able to take a majority decision (114-114, 117-111, 115-113) over Travis Kauffman (31-2, 23 KOs) in the main event of Premier Boxing Champions: The Next Round on Bounce from Santander Arena in Reading, Pennsylvanie.

Dans le deuxième tour, Kauffman buckled Mansour with a hard right on the inside. The two fighters started round four with bad intentions as they each landed hard shots on the inside. Kauffman switched back and forth between orthodox and southpaw stances in an attempt to befuddle the southpaw Mansour.

By the closing rounds, both fighters began to grind out a hard-fought battle on the inside. In rounds nine and 10, it was Mansour who had more pep in his step, landing several hard blows to close out round 10.

Tour 12 was a classic heavyweight slugfest, as Kauffman and Mansour stood toe-to-toe landing leather on each other for the whole three-minute period, with Mansour doing just enough to get the win.

Televised coverage opened with Chordale Booker (6-0, 3 KOs) de Brooklyn, New York getting a unanimous decision (59-55, 59-55, 58-56) over Moshea Aleem (4-1-1, 2 KOs) de Richmond, Virginia in a super welterweight bout.

The co-main event featured two-time welterweight world champion Kermit Cintron (39-5-3, 30 KOs) and David Grayton (15-1-1, 11 KOs) fighting to a technical majority draw after Cintron was deemed unable to continue due to a cut over his right eye.

En un tour de cinq, Grayton floored Cintron with an overhand left. Later in the round, Grayton nailed Cintron with an unintentional headbutt to the right eye, which opened up the cut that led to the end of the bout. Action was stopped at 2:53 de tour de cinq.

Voici ce que les combattants avaient à dire à la suite de leur combat:

TRAVIS KAUFFMAN

I got robbed. It’s plain and simple. Ce était un bon combat, but I thought I won by three rounds.

He landed a couple of shots, but I clearly outworked him. I thought I landed more and did enough to get the win.

AMIR MANSOUR

They thought I was old and would tire down the stretch, but I am mentally strong.

I give Travis (Kauffman) crédit. He stood in there with me tonight. But as I waited for the scores, I knew I won the fight. These were honorable judges.

“Je voudrais (Deontay) Wilder next. I am 44-years-old. I want my shot. They should give me my shot and try to get me out of the way.

KERMIT CINTRON

“Je gagnais la lutte. Then he started to apply pressure and he caught me when I was off balance.

He kept coming in with his head, and he finally caught me good with it. I was fine and wanted to continue, but the doctor decided to stop the fight.

DAVID GRAYTON

“J'ai gagné ce combat. I think he could have continued.

I was in control of the fight, but I was in his hometown, and you know how that goes.

CHORDALE BOOKER

“Ce était un bon combat. I needed this fight to see where I am. And I wanted to fight another undefeated fighter. It was a step up on national television.

I give myself a B- for my performance tonight. My movement was good, but I did not sit down on my power enough. It was a good learning experience though. I could not ask for a better platform to perform on.

MOSHEA ALEEM

I did not do enough. I waited too long to throw my punches and he outworked me.
