Lämna en kommentar
Women’s boxing superstar Claressa Shields has added two more impressive distinctions to her already unparalleled boxing career laurels.


25-year-old “T-Rex” Shields (10-0, 2 Kos), currently the unified WBC and WBO World Female Super Welterweight and WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO Middleweight Champion, has been named #1 in both The Ring and ESPN’s inaugural pound-for-pound women’s rankings of the best female fighters in the world.


During an exciting renaissance for the sport, Shields was able to best a strong lineup of female fighters including Irish unified lightweight champion Katie Taylor, seven-division champ Amanda Serrano, Norway’s long-time undisputed queen Cecilia Braekhus and her recent conqueror Jessica McCaskill.


Among her many accomplishments, Shields is a two-time Olympic Gold Medalist and the first American boxer – female or male – to win consecutive Olympic boxing gold medals. She became Unified Super Middleweight World Champion in her fourth professional fight, Unified Middleweight World Champion in her sixth professional fight and Unified Super Welterweight World Champion in her tenth. She also holds the record for becoming a two and three-weight world champion in the fewest professional fights and is one of only seven boxers in history, female or male, to hold all four major world titles in boxing—WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO—simultaneously.


“Claressa is the driving force for women’s boxing!” said her promoter, Dmitriy Word of Word-kampanjer. “I am happy to see that ESPN, the worldwide leader in sports, and the well-respected “Bible of Boxing” Ring Magazine unanimously and indisputably recognize Claressa’s incredible accomplishments as the best in the world.”


“I’m proud to see two more Herstoric achievements added to the unprecedented resume of Claressa Shields,” said her manager, Mark Taffet, President of Mark Taffet Media. “She continues her march toward equality for female boxers using her broad shoulders from both an athletic and a social perspective. I look forward to the day when she appears on the top pound-for-pound list among the men with no gender labels.”

Uncasville, Conn. - Augusti 16, 2020 – David Benavidez kept his unbeaten record intact after 23 fights with a dominating performance against Alexis Angulo in the main event of an exciting night of boxing live on SHOWTIME Saturday night from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

I Showtime MÄSTERSKAP BOXNING® tripleheader card, the 23-year-old Benavídez (23-0, 20 Kos) – who lost his WBC world title belt on the scale on Friday – scored a stoppage victory against the former world title challenger Angulo (26-2, 22 Kos), whose corner threw in the towel after the 10th runda.

“I rate myself a solid eight,” Benavidez said. “I could have done some stuff better, but overall it was a great performance. I didn’t want to go too fast and leave myself exposed for some big shots. He’s a heavy puncher. But like I said, I like to do the stuff that nobody has ever done. Nobody has ever stopped him and I’m pretty sure nobody is ever going to make him look like that again. I demolished him from round one to round 10.”

A seven-year pro at the age of 23, Benavidez landed 56 percent of his power punches in the fight and averaged 29 av 70 punches thrown per round. Benavidez closed the show by landing a career high 54 punches in round 10.

Colombia’s Angulo, Nu kämpar ut ur Miami, Fla., entered his second world title opportunity riding a three-fight winning streak, but was unable to come counter anything Benavidez threw at him.

Benavidez said he was disappointed and embarrassed by not making the 168-pound weight limit on Friday. “Everything everyone said about me is true,” Benavidez said. “I should be a professional and come in on weight, but this time I couldn’t do it. It’s my first time not making weight in eight years of being a professional.”

“I really have to talk to my promoter to see what’s next,” Benavidez added. “I’ll fight anybody to get back to the spot I was. You could see by this performance tonight, I could put on a great performance against anybody and people will pay to see that. I’m probably going to go right back into training camp to make sure I don’t miss weight.”

I co-main event, rising lightweight Rolando “Rolly” Romero (12-0, 10 Kos) scored a controversial unanimous decision over previously fellow unbeaten Jackson Maríñez (19-1, 7 Kos) to capture the interim WBA Lightweight Title. Poängen var 115-113, 116-112 och 118-110, all in favor of Romero.
(For highlights, klick HÄR).

The story of the fight was Maríñez’s reliable jabs as the Dominican fighter won the battle in that department (14 percent compared to Romero’s 10 procent). It was Romero, emellertid, who held the advantage on power punches connecting on 24 procent (31 av 228) jämfört med 18 percent for Maríñez (72 av 401).

“I don’t think I had a bad performance,Sa Romero, who confidently predicted a brutal knockout would end the bout in his pre-fight comments. “I thought I won the fight. Regardless of everything, I’m the world champ now. Jag är lycklig. "

Romero suffered a slight cut above his left eye in the ninth round on a head butt, but it didn’t seem to affect his performance in the championship rounds. “He came out a little bit tougher and slicker than what I thought,” Romero said. “But all he did was move around the entire fight. He didn’t even try to engage. It’s hard to knock out someone who doesn’t try to engage. I hurt him multiple times with body shots and a few hooks. There was one moment I hurt him with a right hand and he pulled my head down. It was just hard to finish him off.

"Yeah [I would give him a rematch]. He didn’t do anything special.”

Den 29-åriga Maríñez, who holds the WBA’s No. 6 ranking, is trained by Robert Garcia, who was not present in the Maríñez’s corner electing not to travel cross country from his Southern California home.

“That was pure robbery,” Maríñez said. “I won the fight. I out-jabbed, out-boxed him. You could tell he didn’t think he won the fight right afterwards. It’s a robbery.”

I öppnings anfall av telecast, heavyweight contender Otto Wallin recorded a TKO at 2:32 of the fifth round against Travis Kauffman, who re-tore his left labrum at the start of the fifth round and was unable to lift his arm. Referee Michael Ortega signaled the end of the fight and afterwards Kauffman announced he was retiring from boxing, just days ahead of his 35th födelsedag.

Den 29-åriga Wallin (21-1, 14 Kos) who had a four-inch height advantage over Kauffman, said he felt for the injured Kauffman, but was dominating the fight. “I was breaking him down. I had a lot left,”Sa Wallin. “Too bad he hurt his shoulder in the end, but I was breaking him and hitting him with good clean shots.”

Wallin looked sharp in his return to the ring for the first time since he nearly defeated Tyson Fury in September 2019. Han landade 12 jabs per round and 54 percent of his power shots throughout the fight. Currently living in New York City and originally Representing his native Sundsvall, Sverige, Wallin had former champion Joey Gamache in his corner for the bout.

Both fighters have recovered from injury in the recent past, as well as the COVID-19 virus. “I didn’t feel anything from COVID,”Sa Wallin. “I had great training. I was sick in March, but COVID didn’t hit me very hard. I was lucky. I’m sorry for everyone who lost their lives due to COVID.

“I want to go back to New York next and relax a little bit. I’ve been training for a long time now, almost a year. So I want to relax a little bit and hopefully I can fight again by the end of the year.”

The 34-year-old Kauffman (32-4, 23 Kos) from Reading, Pa., was fighting for the first time in five years and seven fights without his trainer Naazim Richardson, who died unexpectedly last month. Efter kampen, Kauffman said he was retiring from boxing.

“I tore my left labrum getting ready for the [Luis] Ortiz fight,” Kauffman said. “Like a dummy, I waited five months to have surgery on it after the Ortiz fight [December of 2018]. I started feeling better and was going to do a tune-up fight in March, but then COVID happened. This opportunity came up and I didn’t want to pass it up and I felt good. In the first round I hurt it. I felt it, but then it went away and I thought maybe it’s just my mind and it went away. Then in the fifth round I heard it and that was it. It was torn again.

“I’m done. I’m retiring. I have kids. I’ve been doing this a long time,” Kauffman said.

”David Benavídez ser ut för att hålla hans perfekta rekord intakt, fortsätta att visa sin superstjärnpotential och ytterligare cementera hans positionering i den staplade divisionen på 168 pund,”Sa Tom Brown, VD för TGB Promotions. ”Som en obesegrad världsmästare, Benavídez kan förvänta sig en stark utmaning från Alexis Angulo, vilket bör skapa en actionfylld huvudhändelse på SHOWTIME. Kombinerat med en strid med hungriga obesegrade ljusvikter i ‘Rolly’ Romero och Jackson Maríñez, plus en tungviktig slugfest mellan Otto Wallin och Travis Kauffman, detta formar sig för att bli en annan kan inte missa natten med höga insatser. "

"Det kommer att bli bra att vara i hörnet av David 'El Bandera Roja' Benavídez på kampkvällen,”Sa Sampson Lewkowicz från Sampson Boxing, som återhämtar sig efter en ny operation. "Jag mår så bra och så stark och jag kan verkligen inte vänta med att vara där för att stödja den yngsta supermittenviktmästaren i historien."

Evenemanget marknadsförs av TGB Promotions och Sampson Boxing. The Romero vs. Maríñez-kampanjen marknadsförs av Mayweather Promotions.

Den 23-åriga Benavídez (22-0, 19 Kos) försvarar sitt bälte efter att ha besegrat två gånger supermidsviktmästaren Anthony Dirrell i september, stoppar honom i nio omgångar. Benavidez tränas av sin far José Sr., tillsammans med sin bror och tidigare titelutmanare, Jose Jr. I 2017, han blev den yngsta mästaren i supervikt i boxningshistoria genom att besegra Ronald Gavril på SHOWTIME på bara 20 år gammal. Representerar hans infödda Phoenix, Ariz. Benavídez gick från en 15-årig barnbarn sparring med Gennady Golovkin och Peter Quillin, till världstitel utmanare med en 10-fight knockout-rad från 2015 genom 2017, inklusive en höjdpunkt-utrullning av Rogelio Medina med en sju punch-kombination som fick honom sin första mästerskamp.

”Det har gått nästan ett år sedan förra gången jag kämpade, så jag är mycket angelägen om att komma tillbaka i ringen och ge fansen en stor kamp,”Sa Benavídez. ”Träningsläger har varit fantastiskt. Lyckligtvis, min pappa öppnade sitt eget gym precis före pandemin, så vi har haft privat utbildning och kunnat sätta in sparringspartners för att hjälpa mig arbeta. Jag står inför en väldigt knepig och robust kämpe, så jag tar honom mycket på allvar. Jag känner att jag kan dra nytta av några öppningar i hans försvar och leta efter knockout som om jag gör varje kamp. ”

Född i El Bordo, Colombia och kämpar nu från Miami, Fla., Angulo (26-1, 22 Kos) går in i sin andra världstitelmöjlighet på en tre-kamps vinnande rad, inklusive två segrar över tidigare obesegrade kämpar. Angulo stoppade Reinaldo Gonzalez in 2018 i sin första kamp sedan han förlorade ett beslut till den då super-medelviktmästaren Gilberto Ramirez tidigare samma år.

Jag tror redan att jag borde vara här med de bästa killarna, men världen kommer faktiskt att se att jag är den jag säger att jag är. Jag är övertygad om mina förmågor som kämpe och jag har det bästa i branschen, Floyd Mayweather, bakom mig. Jag tror att denna kamp slutar ganska snabbt, men du kommer att se tillväxten i mig som en kämpe. Detta är en annan kamp som ytterligare kommer att bevisa att jag är här för att stanna. Registrera dig för KO: s!”

”Detta är ett stort steg upp för Rolando, och han har väntat på möjligheten att visa upp sin talang,”Sa Leonard Ellerbe, VD för Mayweather Promotions. ”Han har ett stort test framåt för att bevisa sig själv. Detta kommer att bli en annan som du inte vill missa, så stäm in på SHOWTIME på lördag, 15 augusti. ”

”Jag har haft ett bra träningsläger för den här kampen,”Sa Maríñez. ”Jag har sparrat med Vergil Ortiz och Jose Ramirez, plus andra krigare i Robert Garcias gym, och det har gjort mig redo att gå in i ringen. Jag vet att Romero är en tuff och slitstark kämpe, så det blir inte lätt, men jag ska göra allt jag kan för att ta med titeln hem. "

Wallin (20-1, 13 Kos) kommer att återvända till ringen för första gången sedan han nästan besegrade Tyson Fury i september 2019, när han öppnade ett hemskt snitt över Furys högra öga med en laglig stans som nästan stoppade kampen. Medan 29-åringen förlorade ett beslut, han bevisade sin mettle som en potentiell framtida tungviktmästare. Representerar hans infödda Sundsvall, Sverige, Wallin tränar i New York med den tidigare mästaren Joey Gamache.

”Jag är mycket glad över att äntligen vara tillbaka i ringen,Sa Wallin. ”Det har varit ett långt och galen år på många sätt och det känns bra att vara redo att gå tillbaka in i ringen. Jag har tränat stadigt sedan Fury-striden och jag känner att jag har utvecklat mitt spel på många sätt. Kauffman är en tuff veteran som både kan komma fram eller boxas om han vill. Han är en fanvänlig fighter och jag måste vara redo hela tiden. Vi har en fantastisk spelplan som alltid och jag är i utmärkt form. Jag vet att jag har alla verktyg för att slå Kauffman. ”

En veteran i det tungviktiga landskapet, Kauffman (32-3, 23 Kos) äger en storbok som inkluderar utmaningar från toppvikt inklusive Luis Ortiz, Chris Arreola och Amir Mansour, bl.a.. Läsningen, Indianer i Pennsylvania tappade sin senaste kamp till Ortiz, efter a 2018 triumf över Scott Alexander.

Jag skulle inte känna mig rätt om det inte fanns motstånd att övervinna. Min pappa, Marshall, gick tillbaka som huvudtränare. Vi vet att vi står inför en ung, hungrig fighter, men jag har mer erfarenhet än honom och jag tror inte att han kan hålla kvar 10 rundar med mig när jag är på 100% som jag kommer att vara den 15 augusti. ”

Ytterligare icke-TV-apparater kommer att innehålla super medelvikt utmanareAlantez Fox(26-2-1, 12 Kos) kämpar mot GhanasHabib Ahmed(27-1-1, 18 Kos) i en åtta-runda attraktion.

”Det var nyckelfaktorn i denna kamp, kroppen fungerar och trycket. Jag är ganska säker på att Albuquerque firar ikväll. Jag tror att de har fyra världsmästare, eftersom du inte kan utesluta Holly Holm. Du har Johnny [Vägg], Danny [Romero], Holly och nu jag.

Split-T Management’s Christopher Pearson ready for anyone at 160 eller 168 Ibs.

Lämna en kommentar
NEW YORK (Juli 28, 2020) – Surging middleweight contender Christopher Pearson is ready for a breakthrough performance against any of the top names at 160 eller 168 divisions.


Pearson of Trotwood, Ohio, is managed by Split-T Management, and he recently moved to San Antonio, Texas, har ett register över 17-2, and is riding a three-fight winning streak which includes a win over former Olympic Bronze Medal winner and undefeated Yamaguchi Falcao.


Pearson, who trains in Los Angeles under world-championship trainer Manny Robles, has already begun preparations for his next assignment.


“I started training down here in San Antonio at Jesse James Leija’s gym. I just moved down here, and it took a minute to find a gym, but once the gym opened, this is a great place to be. I will go to Los Angeles on July 30th and start with Manny,” sa Pearson.


Pearson, who began his career with 13 raka segrar, feels that he is a stern challenge for anybody at middleweight or super middleweight.


“I am looking to fight the best in those two divisions,and solidify myself as the best in the sport. I feel that that the 2nd half of my career is proving that I am the best.”


The Falcao fight proved that Pearson can fight anyone in those divisions, and despite getting a late call for the fight, he performed at a high-level to come home with the emphatic unanimous decision victory.


“I took that fight on four weeks notice. I am not short on confidence, and I know what I am capable of doing.


Recently Pearson had his named mentioned for a showdown with Canelo Alvarez, and he believes that Canelo’s handlers were not too keen in a fight with the 29 year-old Pearson.

“I know that I am one of four or five guys from Golden Boy Promotions that was offered that fight. Out of all of those guys, they must of looked at me as a high-risk, low-reward fight. Fighting me is dangerous. They know me, because I have sparred with him, and he knows what I am capable of.”

“Canelo is a counter-puncher, but he is not better then me in the department. He has more power, but he is not as capable as me. När vi får i ringen, anything can happen..especially at 168 pounds.”

“Another fight that I would like to get is with Jaime Munguia. He is at 160 pounds now. I can outclass him. I don’t see anything special about him. If it takes beating other fighters like David Lemieux or Taureano Johnson to get those fights, then bring them on. Right now I am ready to take on anyone.”

Pearson is promoted by Golden Boy Promotions.

Following the Tokyo Games postponement, Giving Games encourages Americans to unite as one to support the athletes that bear our flag

With the postponement of the Games, many U.S. sports and their athletes are facing extraordinary financial hardship and decision making, especially with the cancellation of most, or all, of their domestic competitions. Unlike most countries that receive government support, US. athletes rely heavily on the support of the community. Adding to the physical and emotional toll that a delay in competition places on their shoulders, their revenue streams, and hope for success in 2021 and the future are now under threat.

“While I have to wait another year to achieve my Olympic dreams, Giving Games is a great opportunity to inspire America to support USA Boxing and all United States athletes,” said USA Boxing Heavyweight Olympic Qualification Team Member and Giving Games AmbassadorDarius Fulghum. “Donations will not only help myself and my 2021 teammates but will help the next generation of Olympic Champions.”

“This year has been extremely difficult for all, and our hope is to not only help support our 2021 Olympier, but help raise funds for our 1,700+ gyms that have been impacted by COVID-19 and impact the lives of so many youth that are our future Olympians,” statedMike McAtee, USA Boxing Executive Director.

All funds raised will either be a direct donation to a specific sport of the donor’s choice or general support for all sports which will be equally divided among the participating NGBs. Fans and supporters can contribute to Giving Games in the following ways:

  • Take the Giving Games quiz to find the sport that best matches you and donate,
  • Enter to win one of 10 amazing sweepstakes packages from Omaze,
  • Help set the world record for most donations made in 24 timmar, eller
  • Compete in the Medal of Giving by donating directly to a sport. At the conclusion of Giving Games, each sport will award a Gold, Silver, and Bronze medal to the top three donors.

    Giving Games will actively raise funds for athletes and their sports organizations during the original window of the Tokyo 2020 Games: Juli 24 – Augusti 9. In addition to participating in the activations listed above, fans and supporters can also text ‘GIVINGGAMES’ to 243725 or make a donation online. Details can be found atgivinggames2020.com. 

     

    Though recognized and supported by the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee, the National Governing Bodies are separate organizations.
