Ivan Baranchyk: Un viaje poco probable de Bielorrusia a Miami, Oklahoma

Para publicación inmediata
Miami, OKAY (Febrero 7, 2017) - Cuando la potencia de peso welter junior Ivan "The Beast" Baranchyk ingresó por primera vez a un gimnasio de boxeo a la edad 12 en su natal Bielorrusia, rápidamente aprendió por qué el boxeo es conocido como el deporte más solitario.
"Se suponía que el hombre que dirigía el gimnasio al que fui era el entrenador, pero tenía un problema con la bebida.,"Baranchyk recordó. "En lugar de enseñarnos el deporte del boxeo, simplemente abría la puerta del gimnasio todos los días y nos dejaba sin una guía constante ".
Baranchyk aprendió gran parte de la dulce ciencia por su cuenta y no tuvo un entrenador estable a lo largo de su carrera amateur.. Asombrosamente, el ganó el 2009 Campeonato Mundial Juvenil y derrotó a la futura dos veces medallista de oro olímpica Robeisy Ramirez de Cuba en el proceso. Después de seguir destacando como aficionado, rápidamente se corrió la voz sobre la sierra circular bielorrusa.
Recibió ofertas de promotores de todo el mundo para convertirse en profesional y eligió firmar con Fight Promotions Inc. Baranchyk se trasladó a Brooklyn, NY después de convertirse en profesional en junio 2014. Nueve victorias después, fue emparejado con su compañero invicto Nicholas Givhan de Michigan en ShoBox: La nueva generación en el Buffalo Run Casino en Miami, OKAY. Un neoyorquino trasplantado que peleó la mayoría de sus combates profesionales en ese momento en la Gran Manzana, Baranchyk nunca había oído hablar de Oklahoma y no estaba seguro de cómo sería el entorno.
En papel, la pelea fue vista como un lanzamiento y Givhan tenía más experiencia profesional. Ambos luchadores no eran conocidos por los lugareños, pero tomó menos de medio minuto cambiar eso.. Sólo 21 segundos después de la campana de apertura, Baranchyk aplastó a Givhan con un brutal gancho de izquierda que fue uno de los mejores nocauts de 2016. La única multitud que estaba de pie en Buffalo Run estaba asombrada y quería verlo pelear allí de nuevo..
Tres meses después, Baranchyk concedió su deseo cuando hizo su segunda aparición consecutiva en ShoBox., desarmar al previamente invicto Eliseo Cruz Sesma en tres rondas. El Baranchyk lleno de acción hizo que la multitud se pusiera de pie durante todo el concurso cantando "Bestia, Bestia, Bestia ”hasta el paro.
Poco después, Baranchyk firmó con Tony Holden Productions, que promueve a Baranchyk junto a DiBella Entertainment y el mencionado Fight Promotions Inc. Desde entonces ganó dos combates más en Buffalo Run., elevando su historial profesional a 13-0 con 10 nocauts mientras captura los títulos USBA y WBC USNBC en el proceso.
"Me siento muy cómodo con la afición,"Dijo Baranchyk. "Sentí la energía en Buffalo Run al instante y estoy agradecido de que los fanáticos me hayan apoyado tanto".
Holden ha estado promoviendo peleas durante más de dos décadas y tuvo muchas atracciones para la multitud., más notablemente los ex campeones Tommy Morrison y Johnny Tapia. Pensó que lo había visto todo. Esto fue hasta que un luchador con antecedentes muy diferentes a la mayoría de sus fanáticos se convirtió en un hijo adoptivo en el 14,000 persona ciudad de Miami, OKAY.
"Es realmente especial para los fanáticos del Buffalo Run Casino y los residentes de Miami hasta el punto en que lo han adoptado como si fuera un local de toda la vida.,"Holden dijo de Baranchyk, que es miembro de la franquicia de cuatro estados de Holden Productions. “Su estilo es entretenido y a todos los fanáticos del boxeo les gustan los luchadores de acción. Es asombroso porque cuando Iván peleó aquí por primera vez en marzo 2016 era prácticamente un desconocido y ahora es un luchador doméstico ".
Baranchyk tendrá una tarea difícil cuando se enfrente a Abel Ramos de Arizona en Buffalo Run Viernes Febrero, 10 en el evento principal de diez rondas de una triple cartelera ShoBox. Ramos, 17-1-2 (12 Nocáuts), tiene múltiples victorias sobre luchadores invictos, incluido un paro en el quinto asalto de 13-0 Dario Ferman el pasado mes de mayo. Se enfrentó a una oposición de calidad y se espera que sea la prueba más grande de Baranchyk hasta la fecha..
Para asegurarse de que está en su mejor momento, la FIB #7 clasificado Baranchyk entrenó en Los Ángeles en el Wildcard Boxing Club junto al nuevo entrenador Edward Kravtsov. Con un campo de entrenamiento sólido en los libros, Baranchyk está preparado para ofrecer un desempeño sólido Viernes noche.
"Este fue un gran campamento y Wildcard es un entorno increíble. Era algo que necesitaba para prepararme para un buen rival duro en Abel Ramos. Estoy completamente preparado para entretener a mis fans en Buffalo Run Casino. Si todo sale como estaba planeado y salgo victorioso, Confío en que mi equipo me llevará al siguiente nivel.”
El ShoBox triple encabezado se transmite en 10:05 pm ET y los boletos están disponibles en la taquilla de Buffalo Run o yendo astubwire.com/event/shoboxthenewgeneration /buffaloruncasino / miami / 14075.

TWO-TIME OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST CLARESSA SHIELDS TO MAKE PROFESSIONAL TELEVISION DEBUT FRIDAY, MARZO 10 En ShoBox: LA NUEVA GENERACIÓN

TIEMPO DE LA FUNCION

® To Present Premium Television’s First Women’s Boxing Main Event As Shields Takes on Former World Title Challenger Szilvia Szabados
En vivo por SHOWTIME® From MGM Grand Detroit
NUEVA YORK (Febrero. 7, 2017) – Two-time Olympic Gold Medalist Claressa Escudos will make her professional television debut on ShoBox: La Nueva Generación, a series that has sparked the careers of 67 futuros campeones del mundo, en Viernes, Marzo 10, en vivo por SHOWTIME (10 p.m. Y/PT) desde MGM Grand Detroit Event Center en Detroit, Michigan.
Escudos (1-0) is facing Hungary’s SzilviaSunsetSzabados (15-8, 6 KOs), un ex retador al título mundial, in the first women’s boxing match to headline on premium television. The fight will take place down the road from Shield’s hometown of Flint, me.
Shields is the most accomplished amateur boxer in U.S. historia – Masculino o femenino – and the only American boxer to capture back-to-back gold medals at the Olympic Games.
It is a dream come true to be the first woman to headline a boxing card on premium television,” dijo Shields. “Marzo 10 will be a historic night for boxing and all of the women who give so much to advance our sport. I am proud to be fighting for the NABF title in my second pro bout. I want to thank SHOWTIME, MGM Grand Detroit and Salita Promotions for this opportunity, and I will do everything to give my home state fans and the viewers a night to remember.
Szabados said, “Fighters always say their next fight is the most important one of their career, but you get an opportunity like this, and it really is. This is an unbelievable dream. I am very happy to be receiving this opportunity. I know this fight is important for Claressa also, and I don’t really know what will happen in the ring. Los dos queremos ganar. Claressa has more amateur experience, but I have more experience as a professional. It’s going to be an exciting night.
Las entradas para el evento promovido por Promociones Salita go on sale Viernes, Febrero. 10 en 10 a.m. est y tienen un precio de $250, $150, $100 y $50. They will be available at www.ticketmaster.com.
Promoter Dmitriy Salita said, “I am honored to be putting on this event at the fantastic MGM Grand Detroit, featuring American hero Claressa Shields on ShoBox: La Nueva Generación. Detroit is America’s greatest comeback city and I am thrilled that she has chosen MGM Grand Detroit as the site to fight for her first professional title on Marzo 10. Although it is just her second professional fight, Claressa has chosen a former world title challenger for her opponent, a tough Hungarian named Szilvia Szabados, a woman who knows what’s at stake if she can win that night. We’ve got a terrific card from top to bottom in support of this fantastic main event as well, featuring some of Detroit’s brightest up-and-coming prospects, as well as some national and international flavor. Detroit deserves to have world-class events such as this and I’m very proud to be able to bring it here.
Shields won her first Olympic Gold when she was 17 years old in the inaugural women’s boxing competition at the London Games in 2012. She defended her title at the 2016 Olympics in Rio, becoming the only American boxer to defend amateur sportspremier championship.
The 21-year-old Shields cruised to a 77-1 amateur record before turning professional last November, winning her first bout via unanimous decision on a non-televised undercard in Las Vegas. She now returns home as a headliner to take on the veteran Szabados in a six-round middleweight bout.
ShoBox analista experto Steve Farhood: “Women’s boxing in America has its best chance of revival because of the emergence of Claressa Shields. Women’s boxing is pretty big in certain countries, but it really hasn’t been a factor in the United States since Laila Ali y, before her, Christy Martin. Being the only U.S. boxer to win two gold medals, Claressa has instant credibility and star appeal and those two things are going to lead to wide exposure.
She has a great back story, she’s an exciting fighter to watch and she’s instantly likeable.
Simplemente pon, Shields found solace in boxing to overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges in her childhood. She’s become a vocal advocate for many social causes, including the ongoing water crisis in her hometown of Flint, women’s rights, and campaigning against sexual assault. An inspirational figure and motivational speaker, Shields represents a beacon of hope for a working-class city that struggles with violence, poverty, and everyday essentials.
In taking on a former world title challenger and fighting for the NABF middleweight championship in only her second fight, Shields continues to make immediate strides as a professional like fellow Flint native Floyd Mayweather, who won his first world title when he was 21.
Szabados challenged for a world title in July 2015 in her ninth professional fight, losing a decision to undefeated WBC Super Middleweight Champion Nikki Adler en Alemania. The native of Miskolc, Hungary has faced two former world champions, Mikaela Lauren y Noni Tenge, and has won via knockout in three of her last five victories.
In her U.S. debut, Szabados lost a 10-round decision to then-undefeated prospect Alicia Napoleón en enero 29, 2016, en Queens, N.Y. The 26-year-old has remained active since turning professional in 2014. She fought eight fights in 2016, and already has a win in 2017 via fifth round KO over Diana Marcz in January in Budapest, Hungría.

Granados has pledged to dedicate the fight to his friend and former training partner Ed Brown, who fell victim to the violence on Chicago’s West Side in December 2016.
Here is what Granados, along with his trainer George Hernandez, tenía que decir Martes:
ADRIAN GRANADOS
We finally have a huge opportunity. I feel I paid my dues. I know Amir Imam wasn’t a fluke. And the robberies on my record were just thatrobberies. You get in the ring with Adrian Granados and you’re going to get a hell of a fight.

I wasn’t intimated by Broner when we sparred and I’m not intimidated by him now. I know I belong in this fight, at this level.

“Es una pelea dura. People are saying I’m going to have to fight like Marcos Maidana. But I’m going to be Adrian Granados and I’m going to win my way.

With our two styles it’s going to be a firefight. It can’t be anything but exciting. I have a great team behind me and I can’t wait to make everyone proud.

Ed Brown was the heart of this neighborhood, and now I need to carry on his legacy. This is my opportunity to do something for my career, but also this community. I have to be twice as great, for me and him.

Winning this fight not only changes my life, but it changes a lot of other lives. Beating Broner would change the sport in Chicago.

It’s very motivating to know that I’m an inspirational figure for people in Chicago. It helps me get through those long days in the gym, when you don’t want to get up and train. I know what I’m fighting for and I use it as motivation.
I started fighting in high school just shadowing my friends when they went to the gym. I asked my mom and dad if I could keep going and luckily they helped me get started and get on this path to where I am.
GEORGE HERNANDEZ, Granados’ Entrenador
Broner puts his gloves on the same way we do. This is what we want. We want the big names. Beating Broner can get us to the next level.

No one is going to give us anything. We need to earn it. We’re going to his backyard and we’re going to take it from him.

This is one of the toughest areas to train in. If you can persevere through that you know you can make it in this sport. We could have gone away for camp but we wanted to stay here because it’s home. The only way to make this city better is by staying here and leading the charge and showing these kids that we can get away from that norm and bring better attention to this area.

If Adrian can beat the hell out of this kid in his hometown that will send a message to all the kids in this community. It will let them know that you can succeed and do great things. Every kid that’s in here dreams of this opportunity. We’re ready and we’re not going to let it slip away.

Here is what Peterson and his longtime trainer Barry Hunter tenía que decir Martes from the Bald Eagle Recreation Center:
Lamont Peterson
I’m going through a full-blown training camp and I’ve had a lot of energy. I think the strength will be there too but I’m an energy fighter. I like to put pressure and use my energy. Look for an improved Lamont Peterson.
People are going to talk a lot about my layoff but honestly that only affects people who aren’t always in the gym. I have been in the gym working hard this entire time. I’ve been working on my craft. I got better and you’ll see on Febrero 18.
Avanesyan is a good fighter. He keeps his hands up high, so even though he’s there to be hit, it doesn’t mean I’m going to get good clean shots. It should be a good entertaining fight and a good first step at welterweight for me.
Big fights are what matters to me. When you’re coming up it’s all about winning a title. Having fought for 12 año, it doesn’t matter to me as much. The way I’m looking at is, if I get this win then I’m the No. 1 contender for the belt.
I have no concern about ring rust. It’s not even a thought in my head. I would be shocked if that was a problem for me.
You never know what the right time is to move up in weight, but the time is now for me to move up to welterweight and I’m happy about it. Making 140 pounds was getting tough. I think it hampered my performances a bit and that let us know it was time.
I’ve been wanting to move up but it seemed like my opportunities were down in weight. Now I’m ready to mix it up with the best guys here.
“Para mí, it’s all about the joy of getting in the ring and competing. I want to do it at the highest level and I’m looking forward to getting big fights.
Barry Hunter, Entrenador de Peterson
Sometimes having time off like Lamont had is not a bad thing. It gives you space and time to work on your mental game, shore up some things you could be weak at and of course it lets you heal up. It’s served us well and I’m happy with what I see from Lamont so far.
We always approach an opponent, no matter the record, like they are a world champion. We prepare for war. If anything less than that takes place, que así sea. We’re going to be ready. To me Avanesyan is a guy who is an obstacle in our way. If we can’t go around him, we’ll go right through him.
We want all of the top 147-pounders. I always thought Lamont and Danny Garcia was a fight that warranted a rematch. Because it was a great fight that had a little bit of controversy around it. I still would like to see the rematch.

A popular Brooklyn fighter who competed in Barclays Center’s first-ever professional female boxing match, Hardy has become a staple at the arena ever since. En Marzo 4, she will enter the ring at Barclays Center for the eighth time, and seventh time in her last eight fights. In Hardy’s most recent bout last Agosto 21, at Ford Amphitheater in Coney Island, Hardy won a decision over previously unbeaten rival Shelly Vincent to capture the WBC International featherweight title. The entertaining slugfest was shown tape delayed on NBCSN and helped Heather increase her national profile.
By fight night, Hardy will have been out of the ring for six-and-a-half months, her longest stretch of inactivity, which was due to the new insurance regulations put in place by the New York State Athletic Commission (NYSAC), in effect since September. All boxing action in the State came to a halt until last month’s Barclays Center event. Dependent on her boxing income to support her family, Hardy sought out other ways to make ends meet. En enero 14, Hardy had planned to make her MMA debut for Invicta in Kansas City, MO, however her opponent suffered an injury in training and the event was cancelled. Returning her full focus to boxing, Hardy is determined to conquer another tough challenge on the way to her first world title opportunity.
I’m grateful and excited to be back in the ring at Barclays Center next month,” , dijo Hardy. “It will be my first fight since August. I’ve had to hustle extra hard these past few months since the insurance issue shut down the New York boxing scene for the last quarter of 2016. I even decided to take an MM fight in January to help supplement my income and pay some bills. Sin embargo, my opponent dropped out the day before I was flying to Kansas City for the event. It’s been one disappointment after the next, so I am truly happy to be back at home where I belong, haciendo lo que amo.”
Born in Nigeria but fighting out of Ghana, Joseph will fight in the U.S. for the second time as a pro after dropping a decision in Texas against Jennifer Han in her most recent world title opportunity. The 27-year-old had previously challenged Dahiana Santana in the Dominican Republic for a world title in 2012 and had a successful run of victories after turning pro in 2004 that lasted until 2009, when she suffered her first defeat. She most recently scored a second round stoppage of Namely Emilia in November of last year.

Oliver Flores’ strong performance against Felix Verdejo embodies spirit of Havoc Boxing

PARA PUBLICACION INMEDIATA
(L-R) — Roger Flores, Havoc Boxing CEO Rob Diaz, Oliver Flores, Norma Flores and Ray Campbell, Jr., Havoc Boxing’s Director of Operations
CIUDAD DE NUEVA YORK (Febrero 6, 2017) – Nicaraguan lightweight OliverTrombita” Floresstrong performance this past Viernes evening against undefeated, No. 1 clasificado Felix “El DiamenteVerdejo, fought in front of more than 7,000 fans in Verdejo’s hometown of San Juan, Puerto Rico, truly embodied the spirit of Flores’ promotor, Havoc Boxing.
Known throughout boxing for its flashy, totally unique looking boxinguniforms” – trunks and jacketsthat are famously worn by present and past world champions such as Danny “Rápido” García, Danny “Miracle Man” Jacobs, Paulie “Magic Man” Malignaggi y otros, Havoc Boxing is also a boxing promotional company on the rise.
While Havoc Boxing may not be a major player, at least not right now, it does feature a growing stable of gifted boxers such as Flores, the former world super featherweight title challenger who many fell deserved a far better fate than his controversial 10-round decision loss (94-96, 91-99, 92-92), which was turned in by the three Puerto Rican judges at ringside.
Flores (27-3-2, 17 KOs) was a live underdog who gave prohibitive favorite Verdejo (23-0, 15 KOs) all he could handle and much more. Verdejo even drew the wrath of his hometown fans for not engaging Flores, who came on strong in the second half of the fight, bloodying the 2012 Puerto Rican Olympian’s nose in the eighth round and seriously hurting him in the 10th. La Organización Mundial de Boxeo (OMB) Latino lightweight champion left the ring at Roberto Clemente Coliseum to a chorus of boos.
Headlines describing the fight used phrases likeescaped with victory” y “struggles to winto describe Verdejo’s tainted victory. One boxing writer had Flores winning six rounds to four, claiming Verdejo simply didn’t do enough to win any other rounds.
We’re so proud of Oliver,” Havoc Boxing CEO Rob Diaz dicho. “We thought he won the fight but it’s tough fighting a national hero in his backyard with three of his countrymen as judges. Those who made excuses for Verdejo claiming he wasn’t at his best because of his eight-month layoff, we reminded that Oliver hadn’t fought in more than a year because a few fights we had lined up fell out. Después de la pelea, so many Puerto Rican fans congratulated us, saying Oliver was robbed, and that he deserved a rematch. Verdejo is looking for an opponent for his Puerto Rican Day eve fight (Junio 10) en el Madison Square Garden. We’re certainly open to a rematch but I doubt they’ll risk fighting Oliver again.
Flores is what Havoc Boxing Promotions is all about. We’re still building our stable of fighters but people in the boxing industry should know by now that our fighters come to fight. They’re all willing to fight anybody, en cualquier momento, dondequiera, as long as it’s a fair deal for us.
In addition to Flores, Havoc also promotes 22-year-old Dominican Republic featherweight prospect Yohan “La Feria” Vásquez (19-1, 16 KOs), quien ocupa el puesto n. 14 por la Asociación Mundial de Boxeo (AMB), as well as a pair of Colombian fighters, supergallo Wilner Soto (16-1, 8 KOs) and cruiserweight SantanderCha ChaSilgado (27-4, 21 KOs), who fought for the WBA world title in Russia and was ranked among the top 15 in the WBA and World Boxing Council (CMB) a few years ago.
We’re rebuilding the Havoc Boxing brand to also showcase our promotional division,” Diaz continued. “We have some talented, hungry fighters who we keep as busy as possible, moving them into position for major fights, like Flores versus Verdejo, including two world title shots so far. We’re getting close to crowning our first world champion. Havoc Boxing is much more than boxing’s best design and merchandising company. The future is Havoc!”
