Citas Finais:

 

 

Claressa Shields:

 

 

"Tori trae máis agresión, a lot more fight than a lot of my previous opponents. No papel, ela ten o mellor currículo de calquera adversario que eu xa enfrentei e pode poñer-se unha loita mellor.

 

 

 

"Todo o mundo me subestimar mor do meu tamaño. Os meus ósos parece que eu son un 140 pero realmente eu son un 168. Todo o mundo vai para unha loita a pensar que poden gañar, 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.

 

 

 

"Espero que o meu adversario para aplicar presión, e utilizar algunhas tácticas sucias. Ela ten máis experiencia, pero non tanto cando fala da súa experiencia afeccionado.

 

 

 

“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.

 

 

 

"Este foi un campo difícil, Realmente me empurrou. Eu costume facer seis semanas, esta vez eu fixen oito semanas. Non loitara desde agosto entón eu quería dar un extra de dúas semanas, entón eu sabía que eu estaba en perfecta forma.

 

 

 

"Non hai dúbida de que eu comezar o ano cunha vitoria, pero eu vexo isto como unha loita competitiva. Vou ter que gañar a vitoria, pero creo que podo KO-a por sexto, sétima rolda. "

 

 

 

Tori NELSON:

 

 

"Sei que eu son o azarão, pero eu deixei caer nove persoas. Non marcou un knockdown aínda como un profesional. Cando Claressa tornouse profesional, Eu sabía que tería que afrontalo la eventualmente.

 

 

 

"Unha vitoria é o que eu vin para. I expect nothing different. I hope it would expose female boxing and not only open doors for me, pero outros boxeadores femininas chegando despois de min.

 

 

 

"Eu sinto que é máis divertido para asistir a unha loita feminina. Cando as mulleres obter caeu, reciben a volta por cima e ir detrás dela de novo. Cando os homes é derrubado, comezan a ocultar, porque non quere ser alcanzado de novo. Entón, eu creo que temos que ser pagado tanto como os homes.

 

 

 

"Eu son bendicido por estar aquí, 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, pero eu vou chocar o mundo.

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

"Eles non van me dar nada. 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

 

 

"Estou só tentando achegar dunha loita polo título. Subir na valoración é o principal obxectivo agora, e eu estou no camiño correcto. Unha vitoria aquí nunha loita 10-redonda sería enorme para a miña carreira.

 

 

 

"Ser un loitador all-around é algo que estou a traballar. Pero non pode facer un loitador completo ata chegar a experiencia e as loitas e iso é o que eu estou a traballar facendo agora. Eu quero ir máis roldas e en marcha.

 

 

 

"Loitando contra un zurdo non é un problema para min. Podo cambiar a miña posición, pero non é algo que eu pensar ou plan. Isto só acontece naturalmente nunha loita.

 

 

 

"Sempre crin en min mesmo, mesmo cando tivo tempo fóra. Eu cría que eu podería volver a el e chegar a un nivel superior. The wins over two undefeated fighters did a lot for my confidence. I knew I could do it, pero mostrou outros que pertencen e que eu poida competir ao máis alto nivel ".

 

 

 

ERNESTO GARZA

 

 

"Gustaríame traer a presión, 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, telo canso nos últimos rounds, e leva-lo para fóra.

 

 

 

"El tende a cambiar, 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 (contra o invicto Jon Fernández) Estaba loitando un peso moito maior.

 

 

 

“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.”

 

 

 

Trala Shakh:

 

 

"Eu amo adestrar aquí por mor do feito de que é un ambiente diferente aquí nos Estados Unidos. É unha configuración profesional real, Eu sinto que as miñas habilidades e miña técnica comezar moito mellor adestramento aquí con Sugar Hill.

 

 

 

"Sei que é un loitador experto. Está invicto e está a benvida a loitar. É unha gran oportunidade para nós dous.

 

 

 

"Estou moi honrado de estar na canle Showtime e feliz por estar recibindo este tipo de exposición nacional. Unha vitoria ía me consolidar como un dos mellores perspectivas welterweight júnior do mundo.

 

 

 

"Comecei moito mellor adestramento no Ximnasio Kronk boxeo en Detroit. campo de adestramento pasado foi unha introdución ao estilo americano de boxeo e este campamento realmente mellorou a miña técnica e táctica coa disputa intensa.

 

 

 

"Eu son 11-0 con 11 nocautes. Eu son un perforado e quero nocauteá lo, pero eu teño entrenado para a distancia. Eu adestrei para bater alguén fóra na primeira rolda ea oitava rolda.

 

 

 

"Este é un gran paso emerxentes en oposición, pero eu tiven máis 200 loitas afeccionadas contra algúns dos mellores boxeadores afeccionados no mundo. Teño batido medalhistas olímpicos e loitadores afeccionados moi talent ".

 

 

 

Sonny Fredrickson

 

 

"Eu estiven esperando por esa exposición por un longo tempo. Eu estou tentando conseguir na TV durante os últimos dous ou tres anos, polo que este é un gran negocio para min. Esperemos que unha vitoria bate-me na parte superior 5 e dáme un tiro do título a finais deste ano ou a principios do próximo ano.

 

 

 

"Nós adestrar moito con Robert (Pascua). It’s back-and-forth action. We grew up together and learn a lot from each other. Eu darlle algúns consellos aquí e alí e fai o mesmo para min.

 

 

 

"Eu non sei moito sobre o meu adversario. Sei que é un zurdo e ten un zócolo forte. El é un bo xogo para min. El quere manter-se á cabeza e figurões da terra, entón eu vou ser capaz de caixa de saída del moi facilmente.

 

 

 

"Eu non creo que os nervios será factor. Teño loitado na tarxeta de Andre Ward, Eu estiven en grandes loitas antes.

 

 

 

"Eu vou nocauteá lo despois da terceira rolda. Eu vou dicir, ei, tiralo aquí.

Este é o meu primeiro evento principal, and I want to impress. It will be a good way to start 2018, which will be my year.”

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, Nova York. 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 loitas, 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.
 

Nacido en Liberia, 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 loitas profesionais, 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 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.
 

Pola, 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.
