Sleachta FINAL:

 

 

CLARESSA SHIELDS:

 

 

"Tugann Tori a lán níos mó ionsaí, a lot more fight than a lot of my previous opponents. Ar pháipéar, tá sí an atosú fearr ar aon chéile comhraic mé os comhair agus is féidir a chur suas ar an troid níos fearr.

 

 

 

"Meas faoina luach gach duine dom mar gheall ar mo méid. Breathnaíonn mo fráma cosúil mé 140 ach i ndáiríre tá mé a 168. Téann gach duine isteach i gcomhrac ag smaoineamh gur féidir leo a bhuachan, but once that right hand lands everything changes. I’m going to go after her in the first round and get her out of there like Nikki Adler.

 

 

 

"Táim ag súil leis mo chéile comhraic brú a chur air, agus a úsáid roinnt tactics salach. Tá taithí níos aici, ach nach bhfuil i bhfad nuair a labhraíonn tú de a taithí amaitéarach.

 

 

 

“She’s confident and she believes in herself. She thinks I haven’t earned my place yet. She doesn’t think I throw hard punches. Speed is power. She doesn’t get that.

 

 

 

"Tá sé seo ina champa crua, Bhrúigh mé i ndáiríre mé féin. Is féidir liom de ghnáth sé seachtaine, an uair seo rinne mé ocht seachtaine. Ní raibh mé throid ó mhí Lúnasa mar sin bhí mé a thabhairt dom féin ar dhá sa bhreis sheachtain sin bhí a fhios agam go raibh mé i gcruth foirfe.

 

 

 

"Níl aon amhras ach go Tús a chur mé an bhliain le bua, ach féach mé seo mar troid iomaíoch. Tá mé ag dul a bheith acu a thuilleamh an bua ach creidim go féidir liom ko di ag an séú, seachtú babhta. "

 

 

 

Tori NELSON:

 

 

"Tá a fhios agam go bhfuil mé an underdog, ach tá mé thit naonúr. Nach bhfuil sí scór knockdown amháin go fóill mar pro. Nuair a Claressa iompaigh pro, Bhí a fhios agam gur mhaith liom a aghaidh a thabhairt di sa deireadh.

 

 

 

"Tá bua méid a tháinig mé as. I expect nothing different. I hope it would expose female boxing and not only open doors for me, ach dhornálaithe mná eile ag teacht suas i mo dhiaidh.

 

 

 

"Is dóigh liom go bhfuil sé níos siamsaíocht chun féachaint troid mná. Nuair mná a fháil a thit, fhaigheann siad ceart ar ais ar bun agus dul i ndiaidh é a dhéanamh arís. Nuair fir fháil knocked síos, dtosaíonn siad i bhfolach toisc nach bhfuil siad ag iarraidh a fháil ar bhuail arís. Mar sin, I mo thuairimse, ba chóir dúinn a fháil a íocadh ach an oiread agus is na fir.

 

 

 

"Tá mé beannaithe a bheith anseo, but I’m not a winner until I complete what I came here to do. And that’s win. The odds are definitely against me, ach tá mé ag dul le turraing an domhain.

 

 

 

“I want to take her into the deep waters. We don’t think she can beat us in a 10-round fight.

 

 

 

"Ní bhíonn siad ag dul a thabhairt dom rud ar bith. I have to be a dog and go in there and win this fight. I’ve always been aggressive. Why change anything for her?"

 

 

 

JESSE HERNANDEZ

 

 

"Tá mé ag iarraidh ach a fháil níos gaire don troid teideal. Bogadh suas na rátálacha is é an sprioc is mó ceart anois, agus tá mé ar an gcosán ceart. Bheadh ​​bua anseo i troid 10-babhta a bheith mhór do mo shlí bheatha.

 

 

 

"Is é a bheith ina Trodaire léir ar fud rud éigin Tá mé ag obair ar. Ach ní féidir leat a bheith ina Trodaire dea-chothromú go dtí go bhfaigheann tú an taithí agus na troideanna agus sin an méid mé ag obair ar ag déanamh ceart anois. Ba mhaith liom a fháil babhtaí níos mó i agus dul chun cinn.

 

 

 

"Ní Troid ina southpaw ina fhadhb dom. Is féidir liom a athrú mo sheasamh, ach nach bhfuil sé rud éigin smaoineamh mé faoi nó plean. Tarlaíonn sé ach go nádúrtha i troid.

 

 

 

"Tá mé chreid i gcónaí i mé féin, fiú nuair a thóg mé am saor. Chreid mé go raibh mé in ann a fháil ar ais isteach é agus a fháil chun a leibhéal is fearr. The wins over two undefeated fighters did a lot for my confidence. I knew I could do it, ach léirigh sé cinn eile bhaineann mé agus gur féidir liom dul san iomaíocht ar an leibhéal is airde. "

 

 

 

ERNESTO GARZA

 

 

"Is maith liom a thabhairt ar an mbrú, and he’s a pressure fighter too. We’ll see who backs up once we start throwing punches.

 

 

 

“I like to face fighters who come forward like him so I think everything will work for me. I plan on applying the pressure, dul dó tuirseach sna babhtaí deiridh sin, agus ag cur leis amach.

 

 

 

"Is nós le sé a athrú, but I think that’s when he gets off-balance. He won’t bring anything I haven’t seen before.

 

 

 

“I’m fighting at my natural weight class this time. My last fight on ShoBox (in aghaidh undefeated Jon Fernandez) Bhí mé ag troid le meáchan i bhfad níos airde.

 

 

 

“I don’t think his height and reach will give me any issues. I’ve been working with a lot of guys in the gym who have similar size and style. We’re ready for anything.

 

 

 

“A win would be a great step for me and my career. All the doors would open up for us.”

 

 

 

Tar éis an Shakh:

 

 

"Is breá liom oiliúint anseo mar gheall ar an bhfíric go bhfuil sé atmaisféar difriúil anseo sna Stáit. Tá sé ina thus fíor gairmiúil, Is dóigh liom go bhfuil mo chuid scileanna agus mo teicníc gotten a lán oiliúna níos fearr anseo le Sugar Hill.

 

 

 

"Tá a fhios agam go bhfuil sé ina Trodaire taithí. Tá sé undefeated agus tá sé ag teacht chun troid. Is deis mhór do bheirt againn.

 

 

 

"Tá mé an-onóir a bheith ar Showtime agus sásta a bheith ag fáil an gcineál seo de nochtadh náisiúnta. Bheadh ​​bua stroighne dom mar cheann de na hionchais welterweight sóisearach is fearr sa domhan.

 

 

 

"Tá mé gotten oiliúint a lán níos fearr ag an Giomnáisiam Kronk Dornálaíochta i Detroit. Bhí campa traenála seo caite réamhrá ar an stíl Mheiriceánach de dornálaíocht agus an campa níos fearr i ndáiríre mo teicníc agus tactics leis an sparring dian.

 

 

 

"Tá mé 11-0 le 11 knockouts. Tá mé pollaire agus ba mhaith liom a cnag air amach, ach tá mé oilte le haghaidh an t-achar. Tá mé oilte éigin a t-amach sa chéad bhabhta agus an ochtú babhta.

 

 

 

"Is é seo an mór céim-ar bun i gcoinne, ach tá mé go raibh níos mó ná 200 troideanna amaitéarach i gcoinne roinnt de na dhornálaithe amaitéarach is fearr sa domhan. Tá mé fosta medalists Oilimpeacha agus trodaithe amaitéaracha an-i gcrích. "

 

 

 

SONNY Fredrickson

 

 

"Tá mé ag fanacht ar an risíocht ar feadh i bhfad. Tá mé ag iarraidh a fháil ar an teilifís ar feadh dhá nó trí bliana anuas, mar sin tá sé seo le déileáil go mór dom. Táimid dóchasach Buaileann bua mé suas i an barr 5 agus tugann dom lámhaigh teideal ag deireadh na bliana seo nó tús na bliana seo chugainn.

 

 

 

"Táimid ag spar go leor leis Robert (Cásca). It’s back-and-forth action. We grew up together and learn a lot from each other. mé a thabhairt dó roinnt leideanna anseo agus ansiúd agus a dhéanann sé mar an gcéanna do dom.

 

 

 

"Níl a fhios agam an iomarca faoi mo chéile comhraic. Tá a fhios agam tá sé ina lefty agus tá sé ina Punch láidir. Tá sé ar chluiche maith dom. Tá sé ag iarraidh a choinneáil ag teacht ar aghaidh agus talamh shots mór mar sin beidh mé in ann a outbox air go leor go héasca.

RONALD ELLIS vs. JUNIOR YOUNAN – 10-Round Super Middleweight

 

Ellis returns to ShoBox in his first bout since defeating Christopher Brooker via a unanimous decision in Atlantic City last January. In his ShoBox debut, Ellis fought Jerry Odom to a majority draw in Atlantic City in February 2016.
 

Originally from Lynn, Aifreann., the 28-year-old Ellis currently lives and trains in Los Angeles at the Iron Gym under trainer Jerry Rosenberg and his father Ronald Ellis Sr.
 

“It’s going to be fireworks from the jump,” said Ellis, who was scheduled to fight Taneal Goyco in November, but the fight was scrapped when Goyco weighed three pounds over the super middleweight limit. “Younan is a good little fighter, but we are trying to get him out of there. Is é seo mo chéad imeacht is mó, and I want to impress. It will be a good way to start 2018, which will be my year.”
 

Ellis upset highly regarded Terrell Gausha to win the 2010 Lámhainní náisiúnta Golden. Gausha would go on to represent the U.S. ag an 2012 Cluichí Oilimpeacha.
 

Younan, who is promoted by Roc Nation Sports, was a highly touted amateur boxer who compiled a 90-5 record before turning professional in 2013 ag aois 18. Once dubbed by The New York Times as “a boxing prodigy” as a 10-year-old, Younan was a two-time National Junior Golden Gloves champion, an 2011 National Junior Olympic championship, and at one point was the No. 1-rated junior boxer in his weight class by USA Boxing.
 

Because of injuries, Younan fought just one time in 2015. After a nine-month layoff, he returned in March of 2016 to beat Cristian Solorzano and has remained active since. Eight of Younan’s 13 pro wins have ended in the first round, including three of his last five fights. The 22-year-old is trained by his father, Sherif Younan
 

“It’s a pleasure to fight on SHOWTIME and I’m excited to put on a show for all the viewers,” Younan said. “I’ve been working as hard as possible and I’m confident my efforts will pay off. I’m going to break my opponent’s spirit and pick him apart. This is my time – in 2018, I’m looking to make a title run and this fight is just the first step.”
 

WELLINGTON ROMERO vs. SAM TEAH – Eight-Round Super Lightweight

 

Romero is originally from the Dominican Republic now fighting out of Newburgh, Nua-Eabhrac. A southpaw, he fights under the Roc Nation Sports promotion and represented the Dominican Republic in the 2012 London Olympics, where he lost to eventual Gold Medalist Vasyl Lomachenko.

 

An accomplished amateur with 268 troideanna, Romero earned a bronze medal at the 2010 Central American Games and made back-to-back appearances at the 2011 World Amateur Boxing Championships and the 2011 Pan American Games as a teenager.
 

The 26-year-old Romero fought twice in 2017, recording TKOs in both wins over Kevin Womack Jr. and Mike Fowler.
 

“This fight on SHOWTIME is a great opportunity for me to showcase my talent and I want to thank God, my team and everyone involved for this opportunity,” Romero said. “I’m going to deliver a world class performance for all the boxing fans out there to enjoy. After defeating my opponent, I know I will make a lasting impression on the viewers and start paving my way to a world title belt.”
 

This won’t be the first time Philadelphia’s Teah is facing an undefeated fighter on ShoBox. In Las Vegas in 2015, Teah scored a unanimous decision over previously undefeated O’Shaquie Foster. The 30-year-old’s only loss came against then-undefeated Lavisas Williams in 2014.
 

Rugadh é sa Libéir, Teah did not start boxing until the age of 19. His last four fights have been close to home with three in his hometown of Philadelphia and the other two in Bristol, Pa., and Atlantic City, N.J.
 

“I know my opponent was an Olympian, and he has been in front of a lot of great fighters,” Teah said. “I am excited to face him and take the big challenge. I know I will be his toughest opponent. I am ready to see what he is made of.”
 

THOMAS MATTICE vs. ROLANDO CHINEA – Eight-Round Lightweight
 

A 27-year-old from Cleveland, Mattice turned pro in 2014 and had an amateur record of 72-18. He was a three-time Ohio State Golden Gloves champion, and bronze medal winner in the USA National Tournament in 2014.
 

In his last fight on Nov. 11, Mattice beat Orlando Rizo via seventh-round stoppage in Georgia. Mattice, who has recorded four straight KOs and eight overall in 10 troideanna gairmiúla, is a boxer-puncher who likes to attack the body.
 

“It’s a tough fight for sure,” Mattice said. “I checked him out. It’s going to be a rough fight, but I am prepared for a war. I am prepared for whatever he will bring. I am excited to fight on ShoBox. Ever since I started boxing, I said one day that will be me fighting on TV, and now that dream comes true.”
 

The 26-year-old Chinea returns to ShoBox after handing previously unbeaten Kenneth Sims Jr., the first loss of his professional career via majority decision on July 14. The win moved Chinea’s ShoBox record to 2-0. He had previously won an eight-round split decision victory over O’Shaquie Foster in 2016.
 

A Puerto Rican native now living in Lancaster, Pa., Chinea suffered his only defeat against the hands of Ismail Muwendo in 2015. He has won five straight since, including two unanimous decisions over previously undefeated Ladarius Miller and Mel Crossty, as well as the unbeaten Sims. His last four opponents had a combined record of 38-1-1.
 

“I know Thomas Mattice is another undefeated fighter with a terrific amateur career,” Chinea said. “I am being brought in as his opponent, to make him look good in his national TV debut. I respect Thomas for agreeing to fight me. I am sure that he will bring his best, and it will be another entertaining fight, Chinea style. I am going to be in the best shape of my career. I am going to be stronger, and I am going to hunt him down, rough him up, and beat him. I can’t wait to fight and win again on ShoBox.”
 

DEVIN HANEY vs. HARMONITO DELA TORRE – Eight-Round Lightweights

 

Haney just turned 19 years old last November and already sports a professional record of 18-0 le 12 knockouts. Trained and managed by his father, William Haney, he has been active with nine fights in 2016 and seven in 2017. In his last fight on Nov. 4, he scored a fifth-round TKO against Hamza Sempewo in Atlanta.
 

Raised in Oakland, Calif., Haney was a seven-time national amateur champion and compiled an impressive record of 130-8. Haney is currently living and training in Las Vegas, where he sparred with Floyd Mayweather as the pound-for-pound champ prepared to face Conor McGregor, and Shawn Porter. Haney turned professional when he was 16 years old in Mexico.
 

“Fighting on SHOWTIME, specifically ShoBox, where many champions have been made, is something I’ve envisioned since I turned professional in 2015,” Haney said. “I’m in tough against Harmonito Dela Torre, a hungry fighter who is coming off his first pro loss. I know his back is up against the wall, so I’m expecting him to bring everything he’s got. But this is my time to shine on the big stage and I’m not going to let this opportunity pass me by. I’m the future of boxing and everyone will see my talent on February 2, especially Dela Torre.”
 

Dela Torre is a 23-year-old Philippines native who has been training with Osmiri Fernandez in Miami the past few months at the Sanman Boxing Gym.
 

Dela was scheduled to fight last on Aug. 22 in Las Vegas in a super featherweight bout against undefeated Saul Rodriguez, who inexplicably pulled out of the matchup a few days before the fight.
 

Ina áit sin, Dela Torre entered the ring in Las Vegas on Nov. 18 and suffered his first loss against 2012 Olympic silver medalist Tugstsogt Nyambayar in an eight-round unanimous decision, despite scoring a second-round knockdown. It was the first time in his first nine fights that Nyambayar was taken the distance.
 

Barry Tompkins will call the ShoBox action from ringside with Steve Farhood and former world champion Raul Marquez serving as expert analysts. Is é an léiritheoir feidhmiúcháin Gordon Hall le Richard Gaughan tháirgeadh agus Rick Phillips stiúradh.
