Claressa Escudos:

“I made history in the amateurs, so it’s very special to me to be making history in the pros too and also doing it so close to home in Detroit.

“For this fight, I did more road work and also worked hard on my fundamentals. With my coach, Jason Crutchfield, in my corner he knows my weaknesses and strong points, so we are strengthening all weaknesses.

“I know that Szabados has a lot of body endurance and a ‘no quit’ mindset in the ring. She has a lot more professional experience than me and is a huge step up for me, as it is only my second professional fight.

“With my reputation and name steady rising and me getting a lot of notoriety, I have really just been handling it by taking a few deep breaths and just not allowing myself to get too excited. When I think about Marzo 10, I just wanna jump up and down!

“When I was an amateur, I followed women’s professional boxing the best I could. I thought a lot of women weren’t given equal opportunity. I told myself that for women’s boxing to grow, I’d have to go pro after winning the Olympics again. I felt in my heart that I would be respected and given a chance. I take advantage of every opportunity, so as of now, I feel women’s boxing is a sport that is going to be around for a long time.”

Nikolay Potapov:

“Nieves is good fighter, and he’s ranked in the top 10. I want to fight the best available in my division. A win over Nieves would be huge for my career and would hopefully lead to a shot at a title in the near future. I can’t lose on Marzo 10.

“I trained hard to go the distance of 10 rondas, but Kronk’s philosophy is not to leave it in the hands of the judges.

“I am thankful to Showtime and Salita Promotions for giving me another opportunity to fight on such a prestigious network. I am focused on bringing home the victory after spending time in Detroit training at the legendary Kronk Gym. "

Gary Russell, Jr.-Oscar Escandon Featherweight Title Match Postponed After Escandon Suffers Injury in Training

The Card Will Be Rescheduled for A Future Date
LAS VEGAS (Febrero 28, 2017) – The featherweight championship match between Gary Russell Jr. and Oscar Escandon, prevista para Sábado, Marzo 11 at the MGM National Harbor in Maryland, has been postponed after Escandon was injured in training, according to Escandon’s promoter Sampson Lewkowicz.
Oscar suffered an injury to his back in training and he’ll be ready to go in April,” Lewkowicz said. “He’s very sorry for the delay in the fight, pero estas cosas pasan en el boxeo. He’s really looking forward to facing Gary Russell, Jr., but he wants to be completely healthy when they do meet.
Escandón, a 32-year-old Colombian with a record of 25-2 con 17 KOs, is the mandatory challenger for Russell’s featherweight championship. Jermell Charlo defending his 154-pound title against Charles Hatley will be the co-feature on the rescheduled card.
It’s definitely irritating,” Russell said. “But injuries happen especially when you have somebody pushing their body to the limit for a fight that is potentially life changing. Es decepcionante. It might not work out for him because I have a little more time to get ready.
We’re working with the venue and the network to find the earliest date that we can reschedule the show,” dijo Tom Brown, de Promociones TGB. “I feel terrible for the fighters who have been training so hard and now have to wait. Gary is really disappointed, but he understands that injuries are all a part of the sport. But Gary will be ready to go on the rescheduled date.
A new date for the fight will be announced shortly.

SUGAR RAY LEONARD TO JOIN SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING ON CBS BROADCAST TEAM FOR DANNY GARCIA vs. KEITH THURMAN WELTERWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP UNIFICATION EVENT ON SATURDAY, MARZO 4

Former Undisputed Welterweight Champion to Provide Unique Insight as Garcia and Thurman Join Boxing Royalty in 147-Pound Unification

 

SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING en CBS, presentado por Premier Boxing Champions, Live on CBS from 9 - 11 p.m. Y / 6 - 8 p.m. PT from Barclays Center In Brooklyn

 

NUEVA YORK (Febrero. 28, 2017) – Boxing Hall of Famer and former undisputed welterweight world champion Sugar Ray Leonard will join the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on CBS broadcast team on Saturday, Marzo 4 for GARCIA vs. Thurman. The event will be headlined by the welterweight world championship unification bout between undefeated champions Danny García y Keith Thurman. GARCIA vs. THURMAN is presented by Premier Boxing Champions and will take place at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, home of BROOKLYN BOXING.

 

The live broadcast will be produced by SHOWTIME Sports® for the CBS Television Network and will air live on CBS from 9-11 p.m. Y / 6-8 p.m. PT. García vs. Thurman will be the first world title unification bout in any weight division on live network television in over two decades and just the second primetime boxing presentation on CBS in nearly 40 año. The first was headlined by a thrilling welterweight world championship fight between Thurman and Shawn Porter, un 2016 Fight of the Year candidate and one of the most watched boxing events of the year.

 

With SHOWTIME boxing analyst and active prizefighter Paul Malignaggi scheduled to fight in London that evening, the broadcast seat opened up for Leonard. He will join SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING host Brian Custer, play-by-play voice Mauro Ranallo, International Boxing Hall of Fame analyst Al Bernstein and Sports Emmy® Award-winning reporter Jim Gray en sábado.

 

Leonard made his professional boxing debut on CBS in 1977, less than one year after he won gold at the ‘76 Olympics in Montreal as part of what is considered the greatest American boxing team in Olympic history. He served as a boxing analyst for the network in the early 1980s during a temporary retirement, calling fights alongside CBS boxing announcer Tim Ryan and Hall of Fame trainer and analyst Gil Clancy, before eventually resuming his professional boxing career. La Marzo 4event will reunite Leonard with former CBS producer and current SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING Executive Producer David Dinkins Jr.., and director Bob Dunphy, the son of legendary boxing broadcaster Don Dunphy.

 

A five-division titlist and one of the most decorated boxers of all-time, Leonard brings unique perspective to the broadcast booth having been in a similar situation to Thurman and Garcia more than 35 hace años que. García, the WBC 147-pound titleholder, and Thurman, his WBA counterpart, will unify the exact same titles that Leonard (CMB) and fellow Hall of Famer Thomas Hearns (AMB) unified in their classic 1981 Pelea del Año.

 

Dirigiéndose a la Marzo 4 unification, Garcia and Thurman own similar records to those of Leonard and Hearns prior to their ‘81 showdown. Thurman is 27-0 and Garcia is 33-0, while Leonard was 30-1 and Hearns was 32-0. And like Leonard and Hearns, Thurman and Garcia are in their 20’s and their respective primes as they approach the career-defining fight.

 

I’m thrilled to be working with the SHOWTIME team and to be part of the CBS broadcast of this great event,” said Leonard. “I’ve watched Danny Garcia and Keith Thurman develop as young men and mature both inside and outside of the ring. Now they are both champions facing their biggest test to determine the man to beat in the welterweight division. This fight reminds me of my incredible bout against Tommy Hearns. There’s nothing better in boxing than when champions meet to unify a division, and I truly believe this fight could go either way. I’m so excited and I can’t wait to be ringside este sábado at Barclay’s Center.

 

“When Ray and I last spoke in January, we’d reminisced briefly about our work in boxing together and we’d promised to get together soon,” said Dinkins. “Who knew it would be to work on the biggest fight scheduled for 2017? I’m thrilled that Ray is available to join our SHOWTIME broadcast team on Marzo 4. His experience in fighting on the big stage for high-stakes will help put Garcia vs. Thurman into its proper context.

 

“García vs. Thurman is a battle of undefeated champions,” Dinkins continued. “The winner of this fight will be the No. 1 de peso welter en el mundo. Ray has been there. His classic battles with Wilfred Benitez, Roberto Duran and Thomas Hearns at welterweight made him a legend. It is only fitting that he will be ringside when a new star is born.”

 

Leonard was down on the scorecards when he knocked out Hearns in the 14º round of the 1981 lucha. It was only the second world championship unification match in welterweight history. Garcia and Thurman will face off in the 10º unification in division history, and only the third between undefeated world champions.

 

After the Hearns fight, Leonard made one more defense of his welterweight belts before eventually moving up to challenge Marvin Hagler en el peso mediano. Leonard has served as a TV personality and boxing analyst since retiring from the ring in 1997, including a stint on CBS.

 

Las entradas para el evento en vivo, que es promovido por DiBella Entertainment, empieza en $50 (sin incluir cargos aplicables) y están a la venta.

De cerca y en persona con la perspectiva en ascenso de Liverpool, Dayle Gallagher

 

Entrevista de Gianluca Di Caro.

Foto: Equipo Gallagher

 

 

El tema de esta entrevista es Dayle Gallagher, quien está demostrando ser uno de los prospectos jóvenes más emocionantes que han surgido en la escena del boxeo de Merseyside en los últimos años.

 

El viernes de marzo 3rd Dayle está listo para competir en su pelea más dura hasta la fecha, una ronda de seis en el Hanger 34 Club en Liverpool, contra Michael Kelly de Belfast, un luchador probado del campeonato, quien en el último año ha peleado contra el francés Mohamed Larabi por el título internacional de la WBF y más recientemente contra Lee McAllister de Escocia por el cinturón intercontinental de la WBF, además de competir en grandes eventos televisados ​​en Rusia y Suecia.

 

Invicto en cuatro salidas hasta la fecha, dos por paros anticipados, contra Alekseis Nikitenko, en mayo 2015 y Jak Johnson en diciembre 2016, y dos por decisión de puntos sólidos, Marty Kayes en abril 2016 y Phil Townley en junio del mismo año, Dayle ya ha llamado la atención de algunos de los nombres más importantes del deporte., incluido el dos veces campeón mundial Amir Khan.

 

De hecho, cortesía del Sr. Khan y su equipo., Dayle se ganó firmemente su lugar en los libros de Historia del deporte., como el primer ganador de un concurso de boxeo profesional en Pakistán, tras su excelente victoria sobre Phil Townley de Belfast en junio del año pasado.

 

Más sobre eso más tarde, como ahora mismo creo que es hora de continuar con la entrevista.

 

Gianluca

Gracias por hablar conmigo hoy Dayle, mientras que obviamente esta entrevista es sobre tu carrera profesional, especialmente la próxima pelea contra Michael Kelly en 3 de marzo, Me gustaría comenzar la entrevista contándoles a los lectores un poco sobre su boxeo no profesional., especialmente tu carrera amateur, que tengo entendido que comenzó con una victoria sobre uno de los mejores de la división en ese momento.

 

Dayle

Comencé a boxear a la edad de 14, Después de entrenar durante más de un año, tuve algunos eventos entre clubes antes de tener mi primera pelea amateur que fue con poca antelación para representar a Liverpool, mi ciudad natal., que estaba contra el galés número uno en ese momento en su ciudad natal Wrexham.

 

Siempre recuerdo a mi entrenador diciendo que nadie quiere pelear con este muchacho, así que ve a noquearlo., y en la segunda vuelta, después de derribarlo dos veces, el árbitro no tuvo otra opción para detenerlo..

 

Muchas personas me dijeron que tenía un futuro brillante en el deporte, pero mi enfoque en ese momento era convertirme en un jugador de fútbol profesional, lo que terminó en una lesión realmente grave y después 18 meses de fisioterapia y rehabilitación de mi lesión.

 

Finalmente volví al boxeo para estar en forma e inmediatamente me enamoré del deporte., Después de unos meses de entrenamiento, me peleé de cuello blanco en Newcastle..

 

Después de ganar eso, obtuve muchos comentarios positivos y me di cuenta de que tenía que empezar a tomarme esto en serio y ver hasta dónde puedo llegar en el deporte., Gané zona norte, Los títulos británicos y europeos en la escena sin licencia se dieron cuenta de que tenía que pasar al lado profesional del juego..

 

 

Gianluca

Tu carrera profesional tuvo un buen comienzo, con una victoria por detención sobre el letón Aleksejs Nikitenko, en primer lugar, ¿cómo se sintió boxear en las filas profesionales por primera vez y, en segundo lugar, puede dar su opinión de la pelea, por favor??

 

Dayle

A pesar de que había estado en el ring muchas veces antes, mi debut profesional me puso más nervioso que cualquier otra pelea, pero la sensación no podría haber sido mejor.

 

La pelea no duró mucho 1 minuto creo que antes el árbitro tuvo que interferir y detener la pelea que llevó a mi primera victoria en las filas profesionales y es un día que nunca olvidaré.

 

 

Gianluca

Pasó casi un año antes de que volvieras al ring, contra Marty Kayes en abril del año pasado, pero incluso con tanto tiempo entre peleas, estabas en plena forma, vencer a Marty en puntos. ¿Cómo se las arregló para mantenerse motivado durante esta y otra vez? Por favor, brinde a los lectores su punto de vista de la pelea.?

 

Dayle

Fue muy difícil porque estaba pasando por muchas complicaciones con mi promotor en ese momento y no podía pelear y pensé que nunca volvería a pelear., pero después de un largo período fuera, mi hermano me ayudó y me consiguió una pelea.

 

Sabía mucho sobre Marty y sabía que no sería fácil saber la experiencia que tenía., pero quería mostrarles a todos que incluso con todo este tiempo fuera lo bueno que puedo ser, obtuve la victoria y sentí que nunca había tenido tiempo fuera del ring..

 

 

Gianluca

Tu próxima pelea, contra Phil Townley, llegó solo unos meses después y lo que es más fue en el extranjero en un evento histórico, el primer evento de boxeo profesional que se lleva a cabo en Pakistán. ¿Pueden por favor contarles a los lectores en primer lugar cómo sucedió esto y también contarles a los lectores no solo sobre la pelea sino también sobre toda la experiencia??

 

Dayle

Realmente no creía que fuera cierto cuando me enteré de Pakistán.. Acababa de regresar de mis vacaciones y al minuto siguiente hablo por teléfono con el tío de Amir Khan sobre una posible pelea en Pakistán..

 

Aunque sabía que no estaba en mi mejor forma o en mi peso preferido, no podía perder la oportunidad, así que subí dos categorías de peso solo por la oportunidad..

 

Un par de horas después de que me ofrecieron la pelea, estaba en Bolton en la Academia Amir Khan completando todo mi papeleo y mi visa y literalmente Tres días después estaba en un avión que iba a pelear en Pakistán.

 

Al llegar a Pakistán me trataron como a la realeza, mis maletas fueron recogidas y llevadas para mí. El ejército y la policía de Pakistán me recibieron y me acompañaron a mi hotel..

 

Nunca podría agradecer lo suficiente a la gente de Pakistán por cómo hicieron que mi tiempo allí fuera tan bienvenido., Es un gran país con grandes personas, incluso cuando luché contra ellos gritaban mi nombre, tanto que pensé que estaba de vuelta en Liverpool con un público local.

 

Fue una de las experiencias más increíbles de mi vida y una que tendré por el resto de mi vida, ya que hice historia como el primer boxeador profesional en pelear y ganar en suelo pakistaní..

 

 

Gianluca

Tu cuarta pelea, contra Jak Johnson en diciembre y en casa una vez más, fue a la vez dramático y esperaría anti-climático para ti. Estuve allí, así que sé todo lo que ocurrió, pero ¿podrías iluminar a los lectores sobre los dramas que se desarrollaron esa noche desde tu vista??

 

Dayle

Si has visto toda la pelea, parece que no estaba muy feliz al final, pero eso es porque soy un luchador y todo lo que quiero hacer es luchar..

 

Entrené tan duro y me sentí en la mejor forma de mi vida, así que cuando la pelea terminó En 30 segundos me molestó, pero eso es algo con lo que tengo que lidiar con su boxeo y las peleas pueden terminar con un solo disparo..

 

Después de verlo, estaba contento con mi actuación y estoy bendecido con un poder de golpe que puede sacar el hombro de alguien de su lugar con un solo disparo..

 

 

Gianluca

En el 3rd marzo estarás en acción una vez más en el Hanger 34 en Liverpool, donde te enfrentarás al irlandés Michael Kelly. ¿Sabes mucho sobre Michael y su estilo de lucha y también cómo ves que esta pelea se desarrollará??

 

Dayle

Sé sobre la gente con la que peleó y lo que logró. Sé que será una pelea difícil, pero es por eso que mi equipo y yo pedimos la pelea..

 

No miro a mis oponentes en las peleas antiguas porque podrían convertir una caja en una pelea completamente diferente, así que me gusta saber cuándo estoy allí..

 

Creo que será una pelea entretenida para que la gente la vea., pero lo veo terminar con un nocaut, si golpeo a alguien en el peso welter con uno de mis golpes de poder con guantes de ocho onzas, me sorprenderá ver a alguien todavía parado frente a mí.

 

 

Gianluca

Así que de las peleas que has tenido hasta la fecha, ya sea profesional o no, cual ha sido tu favorito y por que?

 

Dayle

Mi favorito tiene que ser Pakistán haciendo historia y desafiándome a mí mismo, Fue un gran riesgo subir dos divisiones de peso, pero me gustan los desafíos y es por eso que estoy en este juego de lucha., y también boxear frente al dos veces campeón mundial Amir Khan y recibir excelentes comentarios de él., no puedes pedir nada mejor que eso.

 

 

Gianluca

¿Cómo describirías tu estilo de lucha??

 

Dayle

Creo que mi estilo de lucha es diferente al del boxeador de estilo británico promedio, lo que creo que me hace destacar más., Soy un luchador de contraataque con poder, Soy zurdo y sé que puedo ser una pesadilla para cualquier boxeador en el circuito de boxeo..

 

 

Gianluca

¿Debería tener éxito en el 3rd marzo, estarás invicto en cinco, aunque quizás sea un poco pronto para pensar en los premios del campeonato, Estoy seguro de que ya debe haber estado pensando en oportunidades como esa, como tal, ¿podría describir sus planes futuros para los lectores?.

 

Dayle

Estoy en el deporte para ganar títulos, es un sueño mío que sé que puedo lograr y cuando llegue la oportunidad la aprovecharé.

 

Seguiré subiendo la escalera ganando peleas y cuando mi equipo crea que es el momento adecuado, Conseguiré mi oportunidad por el título y me convertiré en Campeón.

 

 

 

Gianluca

Estoy seguro de que debes haber sido un ávido observador del boxeo profesional incluso cuando eras joven., como tal, mi siguiente pregunta es qué luchadores, pasado o presente, han tenido la mayor influencia en ti y en tu carrera?

 

Dayle

Al crecer desde una edad temprana, solía ver videos de Roy Jones Jr., Amo su arrogancia y confianza..

 

Siempre quise ser un animador y darle a la gente la sensación que tenía al verlo..

 

Mi luchador favorito que me gusta ver mucho ahora es Floyd Mayweather, Adrian Broner, Chris Eubank Jr y Errol Spence Jr, este es el tipo de luchadores que me gusta tomar mucho y tratar de convertir en mi propio estilo.

 

 

Gianluca

Alejarse de las peleas, etc., quiénes son las principales personas que componen el Equipo Gallagher?

 

Dayle

Aunque soy yo el que entra a pelear, no podría hacerlo sin mi equipo, de mi hermano Kyle que me prepara para cada pelea, a todos mis compañeros en la sala de máquinas.

 

Aunque no es solo mi equipo; mis patrocinadores también me ayudan a prepararme para la noche de la pelea, Bondad Grill, quien prepara mi comida, que me ayudan con mis dietas. Spartan Dynamic que me entrenan para mi fuerza y ​​acondicionamiento y me ponen en gran forma y me hacen sentir más fuerte que nunca..

 

James Harris, quien me ayuda con todo lo que hay detrás de escena, como entrevistas..

 

Mis amigos, mi familia y mi novia, todos me ayudan entre bastidores cuando estoy de mal humor por el corte de peso y la preparación para la noche de la pelea..

Pero las personas más importantes de mi equipo son las personas que creen en mi sueño y me compran entradas para mis peleas., porque lo que mucha gente no se da cuenta sin la venta de entradas, las peleas no pueden suceder y siempre estaré agradecido con cada persona que me compre una entrada.!

 

 

Gianluca

Dónde entrenas y cuál es tu horario de entrenamiento?

 

Dayle

Entreno en Engine Room Boxing Club, Sports Direct Fitness y Spartan Dynamic, mi rutina normal para la noche de la pelea es 6soy Me despierto con un plátano y luego voy directamente a Sports Direct Fitness para correr.

 

Me gusta meterme entre 4-6 millas en todas las mañanas, luego haré un poco de trabajo en la bolsa y conseguiré un sauna, luego me iré a casa y descansaré luego en 10:30soy dependiendo de que dia Lunes, Miércoles, Viernes Estaré en la sala de máquinas hasta al menos el mediodía trabajando en mi boxeo..

 

Martes y Jueves Estaré en Spartan Dynamic hasta el mediodía trabajando en mi fuerza y ​​acondicionamiento, luego iré a buscar comidas recién preparadas a Goodness Grill y luego trabajaré en 2:30pm hasta 9:30pm.

 

Es una rutina difícil de mantener, pero para mi sueño, vale la pena.

 

 

Gianluca

¿Cuál dirías que es tu parte favorita del entrenamiento??

 

Dayle

Realmente no tengo una parte favorita del entrenamiento; mi parte favorita es probablemente que me digan que he terminado porque es un trabajo muy duro.

 

Es un entrenamiento de adicción que no podría prescindir, pero si tuviera que elegir una cosa, probablemente sería sparring. Es lo más parecido a pelear y no hay nada mejor que dar golpes devastadores a los oponentes..

 

 

Gianluca

Fuera del boxeo, cuál es tu deporte favorito?

 

Dayle

Fuera del box, mi deporte favorito es el fútbol, Me encanta ver a mi equipo Everton, pero cualquier juego en general solo lo miraré por entretenimiento.

 

 

Gianluca

Además del deporte, ¿de qué otra manera te relajas fuera del boxeo??

 

Dayle

El boxeo está constantemente en mi cerebro cuando tengo tiempo libre. Miro videos de boxeo o hablo de ello con personas a las que realmente no les importa, pero está en mi sangre y no puedo evitarlo.

 

 

Gianluca

En estos días, las redes sociales son una herramienta muy importante para los deportistas profesionales.; ¿Utiliza las redes sociales para interactuar con sus fans??

 

Dayle

Creo que las redes sociales son muy importantes en estos días para los atletas profesionales y siempre interactúo con los fanáticos., porque cualquiera que se tome el tiempo de preguntarme algo sobre mi carrera merece una respuesta, Todavía no soy un gran nombre en el deporte, así que tener gente que me haga preguntas sobre mi boxeo realmente significa mucho para mí..

 

 

Gianluca

Finalmente, ¿hay algo que quieras decirles a tus fans??

BIRMINGHAM, AL. (Febrero 25, 2017) – Undefeated heavyweight world champion Deontay “El bombardero de Bronce” Wilder (38-0, 37 KOs) knocked out Gerald “El Gallo Negro” Washington (18-1-1, 12 KOs) in the fifth round of the main event of Premier Boxing Champions on FOX and FOX Deportes at the Legacy Arena in Birmingham, AL.
In front of a crowd of 12,346 ventiladores, Wilder was able to give his home state crowd another scintillating victory. Although Washington stole some of the early rounds, Wilder’s patience paid off as he was able to find his pace and finish Washington in the fifth frame.
In the blistering televised opener, Dominic Breazeale (18-1, 16 KOs) stopped previously unbeaten Izuagbe Ugonoh (17-1, 14 KOs). Ugonoh controlled the fight early landing heavy blows to both Breazeale’s body and head, but Breazeale was able to compose himself and stormed back to knock out Ugonoh in impressive fashion.
The co-main event featured Jarrett Hurd (20-0, 14 KOs) knocking out Tony Harrison (24-2, 20 KOs) in the ninth round of their contest.
Esto es lo que los luchadores dijeron después de sus combates.:
Deontay WILDER
I knew he was going to come in excited to fight for a world title. I just kept calm and found my rhythm. I really knew he was going to tire out, and when he did I took advantage.
It was all about timing. I’m very smart when it comes to using different tactics in the ring.
Fighting here in Alabama is a blessing. The people here show up to support me and I love them for it. I’m always going to support and be here for my Alabama family. To see the crowd’s response tonight meant a lot to me.
As I’ve been saying, I’m looking to unify the division. I think it’s critical to have one fighter and one champion, and that’s Deontay Wilder. Let’s hope Joseph Parker is ready for me because I’m definitely ready for him.
GERALD WASHINGTON
I just got a little impatient. I was trying to go for it. It was an even boxing match. I could have kept it like that and kept it boring. I don’t know why I fell asleep there. I guess I lost a little focus.
I caught him with one shot when he was coming in. But instead of me keeping that play going and keep pushing him back and keep him in control by keeping him in the center of the ring, I tried to get on him. I was trying to play a little counter punch role and catch him coming in. El solo me atrapo.
It’s just an experience. You have to follow the game plan and stay focused, mantente paciente. You may not get all the shots you want in the beginning, but you have to play the game all the way out and then things will start to happen.
JARRETT HURD
We wanted to take our time with him because Harrison can box and move. But every time he fights he wears down toward the end.
During the sixth round, he caught me with a good shot inside my left eye. But I managed to fight through it and get the win.
It feels great to be a champion. I’ve never had a feeling this great before. It’s pure Accokeek power. I can finally pull my pants up now. My pants were falling down, but I finally got my belt.
DOMINIC Breazeale
It took a little time for me to find my pace, but eventually I found my Rhythm. Izu came in in great shape and with guns blazing. He came at me with some stuff that I wasn’t expecting. Him being the lighter guy I wasn’t really expecting the power he possessed.
I was able to connect some big shots tonight, especially with my right hand. You see what happens when I put him down and he never really recovered.
Coming off the loss to Joshua, this win puts me right back in there. This is what I’ve always asked for. My team does an incredible job of getting me any fight I ask for, and I wanted to fight an undefeated guy like Izu. Él es un gran, fuerte, athletic guy.
“Esta noche, the story was about me having the heart of a lion, getting knocked down, but getting right back up to finish this fight.
IZUAGBE UGONOH
I expected that I was going to knock him out. I believed I would accomplish that, but he didn’t surprise me with anything. I was landing some good shots to both his body and his face.
Breazeale showed a lot of heart though, and I think that his experience really helped him. I think a fight like Anthony Joshua really helped him realize that he could take anything and win the fight. He did that tonight.
“Honestamente, I just got tired. I gave him what I had and then I got tired. When he came back at me I wasn’t able to keep up and finish through on my game plan.
The plan was to really use my double jab, and I’m not making any excuses. Este es el juego de lucha. Esta fue una gran oportunidad para mí, a big step up, and I was hoping to get it done. Yo no, but that is part of sports. I’m not used to losing, but that time came today. I’m still a dangerous man to fight.

TEMECULA, California. (Febrero. 24, 2017) – Justin “El elegido” DeLoach scored a shocking upset over Chris “Joven Rey” Pearson in a second-round knockout victory el viernes en el evento principal de ShoBox: La Nueva Generación on SHOWTIME in front of a sellout crowd from Pechanga Resort & Casino en Temecula.
DeLoach, (17-1, 9 KOs), de Augusta, Georgia. continued his impressive winning streak with his seventh straight victory as he claimed the vacant USBA super welterweight title with the win, knocking out Pearson (14-2, 10 KOs, WSB 3-0, 1 KO) en 2:30 de la segunda ronda.
Pearson, who trains in Las Vegas and fights out of Dayton, Ohio, was first knocked down after DeLoach threw a strong left hook that caught Pearson sideways and dropped him to the canvas with one minute to go in Round 2.
DeLoach didn’t let up, going after the hurting Pearson with a flurry of combinations sending him down again on a straight up right hand and leaving Pearson on his knees for the entire 10-second count.
I’m not surprised that it happened so quickly,” DeLoach said. “We had a strategy and we stuck to it. Hard work pays off and that was proof. I didn’t think I was an underdog, but I understand the whole thing of psychological warfare. I always go into the ring like I am on top no matter what.
The southpaw Pearson, who was appearing on ShoBox for third time, never got going and landed just one body punch in the short fight connecting on just nine percent of his total punches (four of 43) comparado con 32 percent for DeLoach (29 de 92).
Pearson seemed a step slower from the start and DeLoach came forward,” dicho ShoBox analista experto Steve Farhood, who later called the DeLoach win a shocker. “Guau. Even if you liked DeLoach to win this fight, you are surprised it happened this soon.
He later added: “I thought it was going to be a distance fight. Pearson never recovered from his loss to Eric Walker. DeLoach continues to surprise. This is his fourth consecutive major win and now I believe he’s a contender at 154 pounds-maybe one or two fights away from a world title fight.
The bout was originally scheduled for last September before Pearson was forced to withdraw due to an injury suffered in training.
I felt lackluster,” Pearson said. “He came out and he was explosive, he was busy. He didn’t do anything I didn’t expect. Things happened the way they did, and you gotta take the good with the bad. He hit me in the eye which got me a bit disoriented. He fought like I thought he would, he did what he had to do. His performance didn’t surprise me.
DeLoach was clearly overcome with emotion as he reflected on his huge victory. “Me siento muy bien,” DeLoach said. “I am emotional right now. I come from a small city and my mom is here and she’s in tears. Seeing my mom and my family here, I am just proud.
En el evento principal de la noche, undefeated up-and-coming prospect Saúl “Neno” Rodríguez (21-0-1, 15 KOs) of nearby Riverside won a split decision treating the hometown fans to a close outcome against a tough and game Oscar “La Máquina” Bien Hecho (22-7, 10 KOs) en una batalla de peso ligero de 10 asaltos.
Juez Carla Caiz scored it 95-94 para Rodríguez; Tony Crebs 95-94 for Bravo and Jerry Cantu 97-92 in favor of the still undefeated Rodriguez, who had never been past eight rounds before Sábado noche, and also was knocked down for the first time in his career in the fifth round.
I was pretty happy with my performance, but I know there are a few things I need to work on and really just stay focused,” Rodriguez said. “When you’re fighting a wild opponent like Bravo, it gets tough, he head-butted me a few times which affected my visual, but I didn’t let his wild style interrupt my plan.
I was definitely going for the KO throughout the night, but I was still boxing with him. I just gotta go back in the gym and continue developing as a fighter, I am just happy to bring the win home to my hometown and my home stable [Mayweather Promotions].”
A straight right hand by Bravo dropped the 23-year-old Rodriguez for the first time in his career with 1:50 left in the fifth round giving Bravo a huge 10-8 ronda. In the sixth round Bravo, 29, was again impressive and was able to effectively get inside against Rodriguez and land several powerful combinations.
Al entrar en la ronda final, the two were almost equal in number of punches thrown and number of punches connected. Rodriguez was a bit more active in the end, de conexión en 33 por ciento de sus golpes (174 de 522) comparado con 31 percent for Bravo (155 de 497).
En la apertura de la transmisión por televisión, undefeated cruiserweight Otroen “La Bestia” Tabiti (14-0, 12 KOs) de Chicago, Ill., out-worked and out-classed the previously undefeated QuantisThe Grim Reaper” Graves (11-1-2, 4 KOs) de Beaumont, Texas, scoring a technical knockout after six rounds.
The 27-year-old Tabiti was simply too skilled and powerful for the out-manned 34-year-old Graves, who was fighting for just the second time in the past 27 meses.
Near the end of the fourth round Tabitifighting for the second time on ShoBoxunleashed a series of powerful combinations that all but ended the fight putting the visibly hurt Graves against the ropes before he was saved by the bell.
En la sexta ronda, Tabiti hurt Graves again leaving him back-pedaling and finally sending him to the canvas for the first time in his professional career with a brutal body shot. Graves never made it out for the seventh round as he and his corner threw in the towel in between rounds. The referee, Ray Corona, signaled the end of the fight.
As soon as I got in the ring, I knew it was game over for him,” Tabiti dijo. “Figuring out his game plan was easy money. The only thing I feel I could have done better was get him out of the fight quicker. He was talking a lot before the fight, but I didn’t let that get in my head I just came out and did what I was supposed to do.
Graves connected on only three body punches on the night, comparado con 29 for Tabiti, que aterrizó 43 por ciento de su total de ponches, en comparación con sólo 11 percent for Graves, quien fue el 159º luchador para perder su calidad de invicto en ShoBox.
Tabiti is very fast,” Graves said. “I’ve been boxing for 19 years and I’ve never fought anyone as fast as him. No tengo excusas. It is okay. Tabiti was cocky before the fight and humble after. He just needs to keep working hard and perfect his skills.
El evento fue promovido por Mayweather Promotions y Promociones TGB, and was witnessed by all-time great and Mayweather Promotions President Floyd Mayweather, who celebrated his 40º cumpleaños el viernes and was interviewed by Farhood on the telecast before the Rodriguez-Bravo fight.
Viernes de three-fight telecast will re-air Lunes, Febrero. 27 en 10 p.m. Y/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME ON DEMAND beginning Feb. 25.
