But I don’t say I’m a cut man, I’m a laceration management specialist.”

Rodgers first got into boxing when he was in the fifth grade, back in Oklahoma, where he was born. A memo was sent around that there would be a tryout for boxing held the next day at the local high school gym. His parents gave their permission to let him tryout, the first chapter of his incredible boxing career.

Rodgers has worked 39 world championship fights in professional boxing, as a cut man (he only trains amateur boxers) for the likes of world champions Jermaine Taylor, Wayne McCollough och Tommy Morrison.

“Ray’s sacrifice to countless youth as a coach, mentorn, skuren människa, and leader throughout the amateur boxing community is inspirational,” kommenterade Chris tofflemire, USA Boxing Alumni Association verkställande direktör. “His years of service and the knowledge he has passed on to other generations is what makes him a Hall of Famer, and we look forward to honoring him in December.”

Rodgers hasn’t slowed down, despite recently celebrating his 83rd födelsedag. He still owns and operates Ray Rodgers Boxing Club in West Little Rock, Arkansas, in addition to serving as director of the Arkansas Golden Gloves and Mid-South Tournament, which includes Louisiana, Mississippi, Western Tennessee and Arkansas. And he’s also the vice-president of the National Golden Gloves and chairman of the National Silver Gloves.

“Vid min ålder, I’m happy to have any birthday,” Rodgers joked. “I’m hoping to live another 10-12 år, Lord willing. It’s all in the Lord’s hands; controlling the flow of blood, fast, is in my hands.”

LAS VEGAS (November 24, 2019) – WBC Heavyweight Världsmästare Deontay “Brons Bomber” Wilder continued his title reign with a one-punch knockout victory over Luis “King Kong” Ortiz in the seventh round of their rematch Saturday night that headlined a FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Wilder made his 10th consecutive successful title defense, tying him with Joe Louis, Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, Larry Holmes, Tommy Burns and Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko as the only heavyweight champions to achieve that feat.

I en återpassning av deras episka 2018 fight that saw Wilder rally back from nearly being stopped to knock out Ortiz in round 10, the fight again saw both men hold the momentum of the fight at different times.

Ortiz controlled much of the action of the fight as he sought to become the first Cuban heavyweight champion in history. Wilder was not very active in the early rounds, while Ortiz was able to effectively jab, move and throw overhand lefts to rack up rounds on the scorecard.

“With Ortiz, you can see why no other heavyweight wants to fight him,” Said Wilder. “He’s very crafty, he moves strategically and his intellect is very high. I had to measure him in certain places.”

Much of Wilder’s attack throughout the first six rounds was centered on his jab and a sweeping left hook that didn’t seem to land cleanly until early in round seven. With the seventh round waning, Wilder used a feint and a straight right cross to put Ortiz down, the first time he had been hurt at all in the fight.

“I had to go in and out and finally I found my measurement,” Said Wilder. “I saw the shot and I took it. My intellect is very high in the ring and no one gives me credit for me. I think I buzzed him with a left hook earlier in the round and I took it from there.”

While Ortiz was able to get to his feet, referee Kenny Bayless waived off the bout at 2:51 in i den sjunde omgången. Ortiz led on all three scorecards, by margins of 58-56 och 59-55 två gånger. Enligt Compubox, Ortiz out landed Wilder 35 till 34, med en 28 till 17 advantage in power punches.

“This is boxing,” Said Ortiz. “I said that one of us was going to get knocked out and it wasn’t going to go 12 rundor. I was clear headed when I hit the canvas. When I heard the referee say seven I was trying to get up, but I guess the count went a little quicker than I thought.

“This was a great fight and I thought I was clearly winning,” continued Ortiz. “I got caught with a big shot and I have to give Deontay Wilder a lot of credit. I knew my movement was giving him problems. I landed some big shots and I thought I had him hurt. I thought I was up by the count and could have continued.”

In the ring following the fight, Ortiz asserted that he will continue his quest for a heavyweight championship.

“Deontay showed great will and I’m not ashamed with my performance,” Said Ortiz. “I know I can beat anyone in the heavyweight division. My career is not over. I’m going to work my way back into a big fight.”

Efter kampen, Wilder told FOX Sports’ Heidi Androl that his goal is to unify the heavyweight division and become undisputed champion.

“Nästa, we have Tyson Fury in the rematch,” said Wilder.” It’s scheduled for February, så vi får se. Sedan, I want unification. I want one champion, one face and one heavyweight champion – Deontay Wilder. The heavyweight division is too small, there should be one champion and it’s Deontay Wilder.”

I co-main event, Lion “Jordskalv” Santa Cruz (37-1-1, 19 Kos) became a four-division world champion by capturing the WBA Super Featherweight with a unanimous decision over Miguel Flores (24-3, 12 Kos).

“Winning this title means the world to me,” nämnda Santa Cruz. “This is all for the fans who support me. I didn’t feel myself today and didn’t perform the way I wanted to. I’m going to get back in the gym and get a big fight in 2020.”

The action began to heat up in round three, as Santa Cruz began to find a home for his straight right hand that would help him control much of the remainder of the fight. Flores adjusted and used more movement to try to counteract Santa Cruz’s aggression and also focused on countering those right hands with body shots.

“I’m glad I got the victory,” nämnda Santa Cruz. “Miguel is a good fighter, he gave me a tough fight and he proved he’s not a pushover. We put on a great battle.”

“It was a good fight and I showed I belong at this level,” said Flores. “I just went 12 rounds with Leo Santa Cruz. It’s not an accomplishment in itself but I slowed down his pace. Som jag sa tidigare, it’s not only about throwing punches, but it’s about ring IQ and I showed I have it.”

Despite Flores’ tactics, Santa Cruz was able to stay in control and frustrate his opponent. Flores was deducted a point by referee Tony Weeks in round eight due to excessive holding during the many exchanges.

Santa Cruz held the edge in punches landed at 253 till 222, while Flores threw more punches than Santa Cruz by a tally of 1024 till 907.

“It was a close fight and I didn’t think he was landing too much,” said Flores. “He was busy but he wasn’t landing too many shots. I landed cleaner harder shots but he was just busier.”

Flores continued to try to rough up Santa Cruz and accidentally hit him with a headbutt in the ninth round that opened up a cut over Santa Cruz’s left eye. The four-division champion was able to weather that cut and finished strong on his way to a unanimous decision by scores of 115-112 och 117-110 två gånger. Watch highlights HÄR.

“I want to stay at 130,” nämnda Santa Cruz. “We want the big fights in 2020. I want Gervonta Davis or Gary Russell Jr. I want to show the world I’m not scared of anybody.”

The pay-per-view also featured WBA Super Bantamweight Champion Brandon “The Heartbreaker” Figueroa (20-0-1, 15 Kos) retaining his title with a split draw against former champion Juli Ceja (32-4-1, 28 Kos) efter 12 rounds of action.

“I think I did win the fight,” Said Figueroa. “He put on a lot of pressure, but I fought better in the early rounds and I finished strong.”

Figueroa started the fight in control, closing down the distance early and using his activity and combinations to take early control of the action. Ceja’s strategy early was to counter his charging opponent, but he soon picked up the aggression to not allow Figueroa’s offensive momentum to grow.

In the middle rounds, Ceja began taking control, landing the more powerful punches while Figueroa continued to come forward, but was not able to land anything that slowed Ceja’s offense. Watch highlights HÄR.

Figueroa was able to weather the storms in the middle rounds and make it to the late rounds where he again picked up the activity and body attack. He was able to bust Ceja’s lip throughout the action, causing it to swell and bleed.

The punch output was impressive from both fighters, with their 784 combined punches landed good for the fourth most in super bantamweight history, while their 2,811 punches thrown were the second highest, according to CompuBox. Figueroa earned a narrow 411 till 373 advantage in punches landed.

Efter 12 rundor, domarna’ summor var 115-113 for Figueroa, 116-112 for Ceja and 114-114, which resulted in the split draw decision.

“This fight is for all of you fans who came here to see me,” said Ceja. “He was a man about it and he gave me the fight. I think I won, but I respect the judges’ Beslutet. I’ll definitely run it back in a rematch.”

Ceja was not able to win the title after failing to make the 122-pound limit at Friday’s weigh-in.

“I basically fought a person in a weight class above mine tonight,” Said Figueroa. “I’m pretty sure if he weighed 122, it wouldn’t even be a close fight. We have to run the rematch back but he better make the weight.”

The pay-per-view opener saw Mexico’s Eduardo Ramirez (23-2-3, 10 Kos) deliver an impressive fourth-round TKO victory over previously unbeaten Leduan Barthelemy (15-1-1, 7 Kos) in their featherweight rematch. Watch the highlightHÄR

“I said before the fight, I wasn’t going to let it go to the judges,” said Ramirez. “The first fight wasn’t a draw. I worked very hard for this and it turned out how I wanted today. I felt his punching power. Han är en bra fighter. I came here to fight. Viva Mexico.”

The fight began tactically, with Barthelemy looking to use his reach advantage to work off of his jab, while Ramirez sought to work inside and deliver power punches. I runda tre, Ramirez began to break through Barthelemy’s defense with a series of hooks late in the round.

Ramirez continued to come forward in round four, pressing Barthelemy and finding additional cracks in his defense. Late in the round, Ramirez broke through with a glancing right hook that he followed up with a perfect straight left that put Barthelemy down.

While Barthelemy was able to get to his feet, referee Russell Mora waived off the bout at 2:59 av den fjärde omgången. Ramirez held a 73 till 52 advantage in punches landed, Inklusive 27 in round three and 31 in round four.

“I’ve got no excuses,” Said Barthelemy. “The better man won tonight. I had a great camp and I was feeling good. But when I got out there I wasn’t really feeling my best. I turned around to try to walk around and get my feet under me after the knockdown. I wasn’t trying to stop the fight or anything and I thought I could continue. Now I just have to live with it and come back.”

FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View Prelims on FS2 and FOX Deportes saw sensational 17-year-old prospect Vito Mielnicki Jr. (3-0, 3 Kos) deliver a stoppage of Marklin Bailey (6-6, 4 Kos) 2:31 into the second round of their welterweight affair. Mer, rising super lightweight prospect Omar Juarez (6-0, 4 Kos) tappade Kevin Shacks (3-5-3, 3 Kos) three times on his way to a TKO victory 1:59 into round six.

2020 US. Olympic Team Trials for Boxing Women's Field Final

Lämna en kommentar
COLORADO SPRINGS, Lap. (November 22, 2019) — Efter fyra kvalificerade turneringar som började i december 2018, området för 40 elit kvinnliga boxare som kommer att tävla nästa månad på 2020 US. Olympiska lagförsök för boxning i sjön Charles, Den. är slutgiltig. En summa av 117 elitkvinnliga boxare tävlade under året om 40 tillgängliga platser. Only ten will advance from the trials competition to the next stage of the selection process and the opportunity to represent Team USA at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020. Here is a closer look at the field in the five weight classes.

Flyweight/112 lbs./51 kg

2016 US. Olympic Team Trials for Boxing champion Virginia Fuchs (Houston, Texas) fell short of advancing to the Rio 2016 Olympic Games during the international qualification but has dominated the flyweight division ever since. Having won eight international medals since those trials, Fuchs could face her biggest competition from the young talent of Heaven Garcia (Mt., Calif.). Garcia, a two-time World Champion in the junior and youth divisions, has been the one to watch for many years, and these trials could be her coming out party in the elite division. Emellertid, Christina Cruz (Helvete kök, N.Y.), two-time Elite World Championship bronze medalist, will bring experience to her third U.S. Olympic Team Trials for Boxing that will be tough for any boxer that she faces. Mariana Gonzalez (Sunnyvale, Calif.) stood atop the podium at the Western Elite Qualifier, while runner-up Jazzelle Bobadilla (Ewa Beach, Hawaii) has international experience on her side that can help her to upset this division. Jasmine Hampton (Ann Arbor, Mich.) was victorious at the Last Chance Qualifier to punch her ticket to Lake Charles, med Lina Vezzani (Brooklyn, N.Y.) och Stephanie Chavez (Orange, Calif.) rounding out the flyweight division.


Featherweight/125 lbs./57 kg

Expected to be the most competitive weight class in the women’s field, the featherweight division has numerous boxers looking to advance to the next stage of the selection process. Fem av åtta boxare har VM-medaljer, med de tre senaste boxarna med imponerande prestationer vid sina kval. Yarisel Ramirez (Las Vegas, Nev.) vann ett silver på 2015 Junior-VM, liksom en brons på 2019 Pan American Games under sitt första år i elitedivisionen. Tvåfaldigt ungdomsvärldsmästerskap bronsmedaljspelare Isamary Aquino (Universal City, Texas) leder vägen i medaljräkningen och kommer att se ut för att fortsätta göra sitt namn. Lupe Gutierrez(Sacramento, Calif.) och Iyana Verduzco (Los Angeles, Calif.) vann guldmedaljer i sina VM-debut, med Gutierrez som vann på 2015 Junior-VM och Verduzco på 2018 Ungdoms-VM. Mikiah Kreps(Niagara Fallen, N.Y.) vann bronsmedaljen vid oktoberens Elite-VM i sin internationella debut, och kommer att använda förtroendet från den föreställningen i Lake Charles. Andrea Medina (San Diego, Calif.) imponerade många i Reno, besegrade många VM-medaljister på väg till titeln, medan Destiny Jasso(Dallas, Texas) och Melanie Costa (Norton, Mass.) överlevde en tuff hållare från Eastern Elite Qualifier för att gå vidare till dessa försök.

Lätt / 60 kg

Rashida Ellis (Lynn, Mass.) går in i 2020 US. Olympic Trials med självförtroende på sin sida, efter en imponerande 2019 körning som inkluderade bronsmedaljer vid 2019 Panamerikanska spel och världsmästerskap. Amelia Moore (Alexandria, Va.) och Stacia Suttles(Bronx, N.Y.) båda har VM-erfarenhet, liksom att vinna internationella föreställningar för att vara starka utmanare att ta titeln och gå vidare till nästa etapp i kvalet till OS i Tokyo 2020. Ravven Brown (San Antonio, Texas) nyligen gjorde sin internationella debut på 2019 Elite världsmästerskap och hade en snabb ökning till framgång i sin korta boxningkarriär. Kimberly Carlson (Chicago, Ill.) ochWhitney Gomez (Böja, Timmarna.) lämnade Western och Last Chance Qualifiers gyllene, medanJennifer Lopez (Jersey City, N.J.) och Rebecca Maine (Pittsburg, Pa.) avrundar fältet efter deras silvermedaljföreställningar i Ohio och Kalifornien.

Weltervikt / 69 kg / 69 kg

Oshae Jones (Toledo, Ohio) gjorde historia i år med sin guldmedalj på 2019 Pan American Games och ser ut att vara en av favoriterna för welterviktdivisionen. Comebacket av några boxare och ökningen av några upp och kommande kommer att göra detta till en annan spännande viktklass att titta på. Två boxare som nyligen kom tillbaka till sporten och som vill skaka upp saker är Danyelle Wolf (San Diego, Calif.) och Mary Spencer (Flyttblock, Colo.). Wolf, en treårig USA Boxing National Champion och två gånger Continental Champion gjorde att hon återvände till ringen på imponerande sätt i Reno i år, medan Spencer, som är en medborgare med dubbla människor, representerade Kanada vid 2012 OS och vann tre världsmästerskap under kanadensisk flagga, vann Eastern Qualifier för att slå sin biljett till USA. Olympic Team Trials for Boxing. Sharahya Moreu (Albuquerque, N.M.) kanske är den yngsta i divisionen på 20 år gammal men har mycket erfarenhet och kommer att använda det mot sina äldre motståndare. Briana Che (Madison, Wisc.), Arika Skoog(Boston, Mass.) och Jill Stafford (Tabell, Calif.) alla vann silvermedaljer i sina respektive kvalificeringstävlingar och kunde lätt överraska många i Lake Charles, medan Liz Flores(Woodland Hills, Calif.) tog den sista platsen att tävla efter att Morelle McCain bestämde sig för att tävla i mellanviktdivisionen efter hennes kval i båda viktklasserna.

Medelvikt / 75 kg

Sedan den tvååriga olympiska mästaren Claressa Shields gick till de professionella rankningarna, Naomi Graham (Fayetteville, N.C.) har varit ledande för Team USA i mellanviktdivisionen, vinna flera internationella medaljer inklusive ett silver på 2019 Pan American Games och en brons på 2018 Världsmästerskapen. 2017 Youth World Champion Citlalli Ortiz (Coachella, Calif.) sätter på sig en dominerande prestation vid den senaste kvalificeringen av Last Chance, inklusive två segrar av RSC, och kommer att se till att fortsätta sina vinnande vägar till sjön Charles, medan Morelle McCane (Cleveland, Ohio) hade en imponerande 2019, tog brons i sin internationella debut tidigare i år. Alexis Gomez(Södra San Francisco, Calif.) och Kendra Reeves (Twin Falls, Idaho) plockade upp titlar på de västra och östra kvalificeringarna för att slå sina biljetter till Louisiana och kommer att se ut till en annan segerig turnering, medan Fallon Farrar (Colorado Springs, Colo.),Melodireparation (Brooklyn, N.Y.) och Rachael Washington (New York, N.Y.) tog silvermedaljerna vid de tre kvalificerade turneringarna och hoppas kunna förbättra sina prestationer i Lake Charles.

The HOF reception is being held in conjunction with the 2020 OS-försök och 2019 National Championships Dec. 7-15, at Lake Charles Civic Center. The finals of the Olympic Trials will be held Sunday, December. 15, at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, Louisiana.

Sen. John McCain will be posthumously presented a special Lifetime Achievement Award for his tireless work to protect boxers and elevate the sport.

“On behalf of our family,” Joe’s sonMarvis Frazier sa, “we’d like to thank the USA Boxing Alumni Association for remembering Joe Frazier. Honoring him like this will introduce to him to new generations of boxing fans.

“My father learned discipline he needed to go on and win Olympic gold and do what he need to be world champion. He took that to the pros and beatMuhammad Ali in the best fight in the world. They were two great champions who worked together to show people what boxing is really all about.”

Born in South Carolina, Frazier was well known as an elite Philadelphia boxing product, sammanställa en 38-2 amateur record. He was a three-time National Golden Gloves champion whose only two losses were both toBuster Mathis, who was the only opponent to defeat Frazier, including a loss by decision – questionable according to Frazier – in the Olympic Trials.

When U.S. Olympic Team heavyweight qualifierBuster Mathis was unable to compete at the 1964 Olympic Games due to injury, Frazier took full advantage of this opportunity as a replacement.

Frazier went on to become one of only four American boxers to medal in Tokyo, Joe the lone gold medalist, despite breaking a thumb in the semifinals. I öppningsrundan, Frazier knocked outGeorge Olynello (Uganda), followed by a third-round stoppage ofAthol McQueen (Australien) in the quarterfinals. AgainstVadim Yemelyanov (Ryssland) i semifinalen, Frazier won by way of a second round KO, even though he broke his left thumb.

Unwilling to tell anybody that he had broken his thumb, fearing that he wouldn’t be allowed to fight, Frazier showed the tremendous grit he became famous for by winning a close decision, 3-2, kontraHans Huber (United Team of Germany) in the championship final to capture a gold medal.

“Winning an Olympic gold medal was the highlight of his amateur career,” Marvis noted. “It meant that he was the best in the world, and it also made things easier for his next step into the pros. I think he felt it helped made him a real man, the best in the world, and not many people can say that. Winning Olympic gold with a broken thumb showed our father what he could do and proved that he was the man. He wasn’t afraid to get the job done. No excuses, get the jog done, was what my father said all the time. And you better had gotten the job done.”

Frazier (32-4-1, 27 Kos) went on to become a three-time world heavyweight champion, defeating the likes ofMuhammad Ali, Jimmy Ellis (två gånger), Bob Foster, Oscar Bonavena(två gånger), Jerry Quarry, Mathis, Doug Jones, Eddie Machen ochGeorge Chuvalo during his 16-year professional career.

Listed at only 5-11 ½, Frazier was best known for his bobby, weaving, relentless pressure and liver-damaging left hook. He passed away November 7, 2011 due to complications from liver cancer at the age of 67.

“Joe’s legacy will live on forever throughout USA Boxing,” addedChris tofflemire, USA Boxing Alumni Association verkställande direktör. “His toughness and heart were second to none, and today’s USA Boxing champions can look to Joe for the definition of a champion in and out of the ring.

Middleweight Star Chris Eubank Jr. & Top Contender Matt Korobov Discuss Upcoming Showdown for Interim WBA Middleweight Title On Saturday, December 7 Live på SHOWTIME® from Barclays Center in Premier Boxing Champions Event



BROOKLYN (November 19, 2019) – Middleweight star Chris Eubank Jr. och utmanare Matt Korobov shared their thoughts on their upcoming showdown for the Interim WBA Middleweight Title taking place Saturday, December 7 leva på Showtime från Barclays Center,hemmet till BROOKLYN BOXING ™.



The middleweight division will take center stage on the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING®telecast (9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT) that is headlined by undefeated WBC Middleweight World Champion Jermall Charlo defending his title against highly-ranked contender Dennis Hogan. I öppnings anfall av telecast, former world champions Marlon Tapales och Ryosuke Iwasawill meet for an interim 122-pound title.



Biljetter för live-event, som marknadsförs av Lions Only Promotions och TGB Promotions, are on-sale now and can be purchased at ticketmaster.com
och barclayscenter.com. Tickets also can be purchased at the American Express Box Office at Barclays Center. Grupprabatter finns genom att ringa 844-BKLYN-GP.



Eubank will make his U.S. pro debut on December 7, after establishing himself as a contender at 160 och 168 pounds while fighting in his native United Kingdom. He most recently registered a career-best win over former champion James DeGale in February on SHOWTIME in London but will now move back down to 160 pounds to seek a title at middleweight beginning with the fight against Korobov.



Korobov will return to fight at Barclays Center for the second time nearly one year after losing a close decision to Charlo as a late replacement opponent last December in Brooklyn. After fighting to a controversial draw against Immanuwel Aleem in May, Korobov will look to make a statement against Eubank to earn another shot at a world title.



Here is what Eubank and Korobov had to say about their matchup, a future fight with Jermall Charlo and more:



CHRIS EUBANK JR.



How does it feel to be making your U.S. pro debut on December 7? What are you looking to show the U.S. fans in this fight?



“It’s always been a dream of mine to fight in the U.S. Even with everything I’ve done in the sport over in the U.K, I’ve always felt there was something missing and I believe it was the urge to introduce myself and my fight style to the American audience of fight fans. Now I have my opportunity.”



Why did you make the decision to move down to middleweight for this fight? In what ways are you stronger at 160-pounds?



“I’ve never been a real super middleweight. Jag går runt vid 170 pounds out of competition and have to eat breakfast the day of my weigh-ins to make 168. I believe at 160 I am going to be a beast now that I have become accustomed to fighting much bigger fighters over the last three years.”



What do you know about Korobov as a fighter and how do you see this fight going stylistically?



“I think Korobov will be awkward until I pin him down and when I do, I will show the audience why I am a fan friendly fighter.”



If you’re able to get past Korobov, what would you think of a fight against Jermall Charlo? What advantages do you think you have in that fight?



“When I dispatch of Korobov, Charlo is definitely the name that’s on my radar. He is seen as one of the elite fighters in the middleweight division and I intend to prove that he is not on my level. It will be satisfying stamping my mark on the division against Charlo after I beat Korobov. I think it will be a great fight for the fans as together our styles would make for a very exciting bout.”



MATT KOROBOV



Is it exciting to be back at Barclays Center as the co-main event to Charlo, because with a win, you have an opportunity to show him why you deserve the rematch?



“Yes, it is very exciting to be back at Barclays Center, only this time I will leave with the belt. I thought I deserved an immediate rematch against Charlo because many people believed I won. I think when I defeat Eubank Jr. and win this belt, it will force Charlo to give me a rematch. We shall see. I only focus on one fight at a time and right now I am only focused on Chris Eubank Jr.”

How do you stay mentally focused on the next fight when you believe you had two bad scorecards go against you?



“I do not focus on the past. I focus on the future because I can only control the future. I will be my best and my best will be good enough against Chris Eubank Jr. We’re doing everything possible in camp to make sure I’m ready.”

What do you make of Eubank as a fighter? How do you expect the fight to look stylistically?



“Eubank is a very good fighter, one of the best. I believe I am a more disciplined fighter. I think my technique is better, but he does some things very well. Let’s see on December 7. I don’t want to give away the weaknesses I see, but the style difference will make a very entertaining fight for the fans.

Do you think you have the advantage as far as boxing skills over Eubank? How do you counter his possible size advantage, given that he’s coming down from 168 pounds?



“I think my skills are better. I do not think weight will be an issue. He is professional and I am professional. Om någonting, perhaps it is a little more difficult for him to make 160 after years at 168. I will fight anyone between 160 och 168 pounds, so I don’t see any problem with weight for me, perhaps more for him. We will find out December 7.”

Joe George Wins Controversial Split-Decision Over Marcos Escudero; Amilcar Vidal, Jr. Stops Zach Prieto In First Round



Catch The Replay Monday, November 18 Vid 10 p.m. ET / PT på Showtime EXTREME®

SLOAN, Iowa – November 15, 2019 - 2016 Argentinian Olympian and welterweight prospect Alberto Palmetta put a late exclamation point on an impressive display, scoring a final-round TKO of undefeated Mexican prospect Erik Vega in the main event of ShoBox: Den nya generationen Friday night from WinnaVegas Casino in Sloan, Iowa.



Palmetta (13-1, 9 Kos), who came out of the amateur ranks billed as one of the top prospects in Argentina’s boxing history, broke open a close fight by producing a massive rally that stunned Vega (16-1, 9 Kos) and ultimately led to referee Mark Nelson intervening at the 1:03 mark of the 10th och sista omgången. Entering that round, Palmetta was leading 87-84 on two of the judges’ scorecards and 86-85 on the other. (Palmetta KO: https://twitter.com/
ShowtimeBoxing/status/1195578842091532288)



Capping off his display in stylish fashion, the 29-year-old southpaw Palmetta led 30-3 in overall punches and 28-1 in power punches in the tenth, increasing his final leads to 170-157 in overall punches landed and 148-24 in power punches landed.



“I knew we were up on the scorecards,” said Palmetta. “We didn’t need the knockout, but we wanted it. I had him hurt a couple times in the fight but I didn’t follow up. I 10th, I had him out on his feet. It was a good stoppage. He was done.”



“We don’t make excuses,” said the 24-year-old Vega after his first career professional loss. “I believe the referee was right in stopping the fight. I think I need to practice more and I needed to throw more combinations. This was a great learning experience. We’ll go back to the drawing board and come back stronger.”



In an entertaining and crowd-pleasing co-featured bout, Houston’s Joe George (10-0, 6 Kos) won a controversial split decision over the much busier Marcos Escudero (10-1, 9 Kos). The judges scored the fight 97-94 (George), 97-93 (George) och 96-94 (Escudero).



Argentina’s Escudero began the fight with a bang as his 135 total punches thrown was tied for the seventh most ever recorded by CompuBox in a light heavyweight fight. He kept his blistering pace up throughout the entirety of the fight, kasta 106 punches in the final round and 911 totala stansar, but the judges were more impressed by George’s heavier punching and superior accuracy. George stunned Escudero in the ninth round and was accurate on 34 procent av hans totala stansar, jämfört med bara 19 percent for Escudero. The total numbers landed were close, as Escudero landed 177 total punches while George landed 161.



SHOWTIME’s Hall of Famer analysts Barry Tompkins and Steve Farhood, along with former world champion Raul Marquez, all had Escudero winning the fight comfortably on their scorecards.



“I’m not surprised at all by the decision,” said George, who is co-managed by seven-time Pro Bowl offensive tackle Trent Williams. “I knew he was a front runner. I knew he was going to get tired. We wore him down. I made the fight a little harder for myself by staying on the ropes a little too long, but we got through it. That’s something that we can work on and improve in the gym.



“I’m really a 168 pounder so that’s where we want to go next. If he wants the rematch, we’ll give it to him but we already beat him.”



Escudero, who was riding a six-fight knockout streak entering the fight, was disappointed in both his performance and the judges’ interpretation of the fight.



“No excuses. I didn’t do my job,"Sa han. “I won the fight 100 procent, but no excuses from us. Det är boxning. I never give up. It’s all part of the game. Jag vill ha en returmatch, 100 procent. "



In the televised opener between two power punchers who had combined for 10 first-round KOs, undefeated knockout artist Amilcar Vidal, Jr. (10-0, 9 Kos) improved his knockout rate to 90 percent by dropping previously unbeaten Zach Prieto (9-1, 7 Kos) twice en route to another first-round stoppage. (Vidal KO: https://twitter.com/
ShowtimeBoxing/status/1195550064225198081)



The 23-year-old Vidal, from Montevideo, Uruguay, floored El Paso’s Prieto with a flush left hand with 30 seconds left in the opening round. With Prieto hanging on, Vidal finished the job just before the bell sounded in the opening round, unleashing a flurry of punches capped by a hook to the side of the head that prompted the stoppage from referee Mark Nelson at 2:59. The blow closed out a fight in which Vidal led 22-14 in overall punches and 16-9 in power punches, including margins of 13-1 in overall punches and 10-1 in power punches in the final minute.



“I won the fight in the gym,” said Vidal, who was fighting in the United States for the first time. “The ring was easy tonight because of the work we did in the gym. I had a game plan and I executed it to perfection. I had a plan to use the left hook and I waited for the right moment to open up, and when I saw it I threw it perfectly.”



Friday’s fights were promoted by Sampson Boxing in association with Paco Presents. The full telecast will replay on Monday, November 18 vid 10 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME ANYTIME® and SHOWTIME on DEMAND®.



Hall of Famer Barry Tompkins called the action from ringside with fellow Hall of Famer Steve Farhood and former world champion Raul Marquez serving as expert analysts. Exekutiv producent är Gordon Hall med Richard Gaughan producera och Rick Phillips rikta.

Claressa Shields vs. IVANA HABAZIN RESCHEDULED FÖR FREDAG, JANUARI 10 BO PÅ SHOWTIME®

Lämna en kommentar
Sköldar bjuder på att bli snabbast mästare i tre divisioner i boxningshistorik; SHOWTIME BOXNING: SPECIAL Edition® Live At 9 P.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT Från Ocean Casino Resort I Atlantic City, N.J.

NEW YORK – November 15, 2019 – Den efterlängtade showdownen mellan den obestridda världsmästaren med medelvikt Claressa Shields och den tidigare mästaren Ivana Habazin har omplanerats för fredag, Januari 10 bor på SHOWTIME från Ocean Casino Resort i Atlantic City, N.J. Shields och Habazin kommer att möta de lediga WBC och WBO 154-pund världstitlarna när Shields försöker göra historia som den snabbaste fighter i boxning, man eller kvinna, att bli en tre-division världsmästare.

Shields and Habazin were scheduled to fight on October 5 in Flint, mig. The bout was called off less than 36 hours from the opening bell following an altercation at the official weigh-in that resulted in an injury to Habazin’s trainer, James Ali Bashir. This is the third date for Shields and Habazin. They were first scheduled to meet on August 17 before Shields withdrew due to a minor knee injury.

Januari 10 SHOWTIME BOXNING: SPECIALUTGÅVA Telecast börjar vid 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT and will feature a WBA Super Lightweight World Title Eliminator between Shohjahon Ergashev (17-0, 15 Kos) and Keith Hunter (11-0, 7 Kos). The winner becomes the mandatory challenger for WBA Super Lightweight World Championship currently held by Mario Barrios.

Shields vs. Habazin is promoted by Salita Promotions in association with T-REX BOXING PROMOTIONS. Ergashev vs. Hunter is promoted in association with Greg Cohen Promotions. Biljettinformation för live-evenemanget kommer att meddelas nästa vecka.

Den 24-åriga Shields (9-0, 2 Kos) blev den obestridda mästaren i medelvikt med en nästan avstängd seger över tidigare obesegrade världsmästare Christina Hammer i april på SHOWTIME. Genom att göra så, den tvådelade titlistan gick med Terrence Crawford, Jermain Taylor, Bernard Hopkins, Oleksandr Usyk och Cecilia Braekhus som de enda kämparna som har förenat alla fyra stora världstitlarna i någon viktklass (Katie Taylor har sedan gått med på den prestigefyllda listan). på januari 10, Shields kommer att försöka göra ännu mer historia i sitt sjätte utseende på SHOWTIME. Med en seger över Habazin, Shields skulle bli en tre-division mästare på bara 10 ändarna, bryter rekordet av Vasiliy Lomachenko och Kosei Tanaka, som båda uppnådde brådskan i 12 slagsmål.

“Mitt mål är att bli mästare i tre divisioner snabbare än någon man eller kvinna i historien,” Shields sa. “Detta är en mycket viktig kamp för oss båda. Vi har båda tränat riktigt hårt två gånger och stora möjligheter väntar vinnaren, så förhoppningsvis är tre gånger charmen.”

Habazin (20-3, 7 Kos), från Zagreb, Kroatien, rankas som nr. 1 av WBO kl 154 pounds. 30-åringen, som kommer att göra henne till U.S.. debut, vann IBF Welterweight-titel över Sabrina Giuliani i 2014. I hennes nästa kamp, Habazin tappade ett enhälligt beslut till Braekhus i en historisk enhetskamp där Braekhus hämtade alla fyra stora världstitelbälten. Senast, Habazin hämnade en av endast tre förluster i sin karriär till Eva Bajic i Zagreb.

Habazin kommer att träna i sitt ursprungliga Kroatien och har ägnat striden till Bashir.

“Jag har tänkt på detta sedan oktober och jag har mer incitament nu med tanke på vad som hände,” Sade Habazin. “I feel like I’m fighting for James Ali Bashir, as well as for my own pride and respect. I’m also fighting for my country. I want to make Croatia proud that I am their daughter, and I feel that I now have their full support. Claressa is just a brief stop on my journey. I have bigger dreams and bigger shoes to fill in my life. I’m on my way to fulfilling my personal legend – being crowned the undisputed women’s junior middleweight champion. This is just another step on that journey. Given my faith, I feel that while what happened in October was incredibly unfortunate, this was God’s plan. And I have faith that my hand will be raised in victory in January.”

Shields was the first American boxer in history – man eller kvinna – to win consecutive Olympic gold medals. Hon blev professionell efter 2016 OS och rubriken den första kvinnors boxnings-huvudevenemanget i premium-tv-historien i bara hennes andra professionella kamp i 2017. Shields blev enade kvinnors supermedelsviktvärldsmästare i bara hennes fjärde professionella kamp, och en mästare i två divisioner i sin sjätte professionella tävling. Hon krönades till den obestridda mästaren på 160 pund i sin nionde kamp, mindre än tre år efter att ha blivit professionell efter 2016 OS.

“Januari 10 kommer att bli ett viktigt datum i boxningshistorien när Claressa fortsätter sin enastående resa mot storhet,” sa Dmitriy Salita, VD för Salita Promotions. “En seger över Ivana Habazin skulle göra Claressa – i bara hennes tionde kamp – den snabbaste boxaren som någonsin har skaffat världstitelbälten i tre viktkategorier. Men en mycket bestämd, skilled and experienced boxer stands in her way, and Ivana is pursuing her own world championship dream. History will be claimed in the ring on January 10 at the Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City and live on SHOWTIME.”

“With five world titles in just nine professional fights, Claressa Shields has been making women’s boxing history at a record pace,” said manager Mark Taffet. “Nu, in her 10th fight on January 10, she seeks to win a world title in a third weight division faster than any man or woman in history, and in remarkable fashion by going down in weight each time. Claressa continues to render the impossible possible. It’s truly Herstory.”

“Ocean is proud to host Shields vs. Habazin inside Ovation Hall this January,” said Michael Donovan, Chief Marketing Officer and Senior Vice President, Ocean Casino Resort Atlantic City. “We are excited to bring world class boxing to Atlantic City and look forward to more shows in 2020.”

Hard-hitter superlätt Shakh Ergasjev (17-0, 15 Kos), Uzbekistan, rankas i topp-15 i tre av de fyra stora sanktionsorgan. The 27-year-old Ergashev is coming off an impressive fourth round knockout of veteran Abdiel Ramirez this past August on ShoBox: Den nya generationen. I sina tidigare framträdanden på utsikten utvecklingsserie, the former member of the Uzbek national team scored a third round knockout against then top-10 rated Sonny Fredrickson, och en 10-runda enhälligt beslut över tidigare obesegrad Mykal Fox. The hard-hitting southpaw currently trains in Detroit with Javan “Socker” Hill at the new Kronk Gym with stablemate Vladimir Shishkin.

“My goal is to be the junior welterweight champion of the world in 2020,” Ergashev said. “After I win this fight I will be just one step away from realizing my dream of bringing the world title home to my country Uzbekistan.”

The 27-year-old Hunter is ranked No. 12 i WBA. A native of Las Vegas, the 6-foot Hunter will make his national television debut against the first undefeated opponent of his career. Hunter, who is the younger brother of former Olympian Michael Hunter, trains at Bones Adams Gym in Las Vegas and is co-managed by former heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman.

“I’m looking forward to making my national television debut on Showtime,” said Keith “The Bounty” Hunter. “Boxing is in my blood and January 10 will be my chance to take my career to the next level. Ergashev has a bounty on his head, I’m here to collect!”

En branschledande produktionsteam och meddela besättning kommer att leverera alla sevärdheter, ljud och drama från Atlantic City.

LEO SANTA CRUZ

“I’m only focused on my fight because I know that Miguel Flores is going to bring everything he has to try to win that title. There are a lot of great champions in this division but I can’t think of anything past Flores.

“I’m expecting a classic Mexico vs. Mexico brawl. Flores is from Michoacan and the people from there have a lot of heart and they leave everything in the ring. I’ve seen him do it. He throws to the body really well. He has a good uppercut too. So I know it’s going to be a tough fight.

“We always work hard in the gym so that we can throw a lot of punches in the fight. We want to put the pressure on and give the fans a great fight and take home the win.

“I train hard no matter who the opponent is. That’s the only thing I know how to do. So I don’t think about any let downs, only about winning the fight in front of me. I think this is a great opportunity to introduce myself to the division.

“I’m going to go in there and fight hard for 12 rounds or as long as it lasts. I’m going to be smart and make sure I get the win. But we also always want to give the fans a great show from start to finish.

“I feel really good right now. I think I’m going to be strong at that weight and have extra power in the ring on fight night. I don’t spend as much time in camp worrying about cutting weight so everything else will be better because of that. I’m going to be ready for everything Miguel Flores can bring.

“I want to win another title for my legacy and so I can continue to give fans great fights. This is a great opportunity so I’m going to go ahead and make the most of it.

“It’s great to be on this card with such an exciting main event. You know that Deontay Wilder can knock anyone out at any minute. The heavyweight division is really exciting right now and I know Wilder and Luis Ortiz are going to give everyone something to remember. I want to make an exciting fight too and steal the show. It’ll be hard to do, but I’m going to go out there and try to do it.”
