FINAL MARKAÐSUPPLÝSINGAR:

 

 

CLARESSA SHIELDS:

 

 

"Tori koma mikið meira árásargirni, a lot more fight than a lot of my previous opponents. Á pappír, Hún hefur bestu ný af hvaða andstæðing sem ég hef blasa og getur sett upp betri berjast.

 

 

 

"Allir vanmetur mig vegna stærðar minnar. Beinin í mér lítur út eins og ég er 140 en í raun ég er 168. Allir fara í slag hugsa þeir geta unnið, 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.

 

 

 

"Ég býst við andstæðing minn til að beita þrýstingi, og til að nota sumir óhreinum tækni. Hún hefur meiri reynslu, en ekki það mikið þegar þú talar um áhugamaður reynslu sinni.

 

 

 

“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.

 

 

 

"Þetta hefur verið erfitt Tjaldvagnar, Ég ýtti virkilega sjálfur. Ég geri venjulega sex vikna, þetta skipti sem ég gerði átta vikur. Ég hafði ekki barist síðan í ágúst þannig að ég vildi gefa mér aukalega tvær vikur þannig að ég vissi að ég væri í fullkomnu formi.

 

 

 

"Það er enginn vafi á því að ég byrja árið með sigri, en ég sé þetta sem samkeppni baráttunni. Ég ætla að fara að vinna sigur, en ég tel að ég get KO hana með sjötta, Sjöunda umferð. "

 

 

 

TORI NELSON:

 

 

"Ég veit að ég er lítilmagni, en ég hef fallið níu manns. Hún hefur ekki skorað eitt knockdown enn sem atvinnumaður. Þegar Claressa gerðist atvinnumaður, Ég vissi að ég myndi þurfa að takast hana á endanum.

 

 

 

"A vinna er það sem ég kom til. I expect nothing different. I hope it would expose female boxing and not only open doors for me, en aðrir kvenkyns Boxer koma upp eftir mig.

 

 

 

"Ég finn að það er meira skemmtilegt að horfa á kvenkyns berjast. Þegar konur fá lækkað, þeir fá strax aftur upp og farið á eftir henni aftur. Þegar menn fá slegnir niður, þeir byrja að fela vegna þess að þeir vilja ekki að fá högg aftur. Þannig að ég held að við ættum að fá borgað eins mikið og menn.

 

 

 

"Ég er sæll að vera hér, 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, en ég ætla að hneyksla heiminn.

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

"Þeir eru ekki að fara að gefa mér neitt. 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

 

 

"Ég ætla bara að reyna að komast nær titli baráttu. Færa upp fremstur er helsta markmið núna, og ég er á réttri leið. A vinna hér í 10-umferð baráttunni væri mikið fyrir feril minn.

 

 

 

"Þar sem allur-í kring bardagamaður er eitthvað sem ég er að vinna á. En þú getur ekki orðið vel ávalar bardagamaður þar til þú færð reynslu og slagsmál og það er það sem ég er að vinna í að gera núna. Ég vil fá fleiri umferðir í og ​​gangi.

 

 

 

"Berjast við southpaw er ekki vandamál fyrir mig. Ég get skipt á afstöðu mína, en það er ekki eitthvað sem ég hugsa um eða áætlun. Það gerist bara náttúrulega í baráttunni.

 

 

 

"Ég hef alltaf trúað á mig, jafnvel þegar ég tók frí. Ég trúði að ég gæti fengið aftur inn í það og fá að efsta stigi. The wins over two undefeated fighters did a lot for my confidence. I knew I could do it, En það sýndi aðra sem ég tilheyri og að ég get keppt á efsta stigi. "

 

 

 

ERNESTO GARZA

 

 

"Ég vil koma á þrýstingi, 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, fá hann þreyttur í seinni umferðum, og taka hann út.

 

 

 

"Hann hefur tilhneigingu til að skipta, 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 (gegn undefeated Jón Fernandez) Ég var að berjast miklu meiri þyngd.

 

 

 

“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.”

 

 

 

Í kjölfar Shakh:

 

 

"Ég elska að þjálfa hér vegna þess að það er öðruvísi andrúmsloft hér í Bandaríkjunum. Það er alvöru faglega skipulag, Mér finnst að færni mín og tækni mín hefur fengið mikið betri þjálfun hér með Sugar Hill.

 

 

 

"Ég veit að hann er reyndur bardagamaður. Hann er undefeated og hann er að koma til að berjast. Það er stórt tækifæri fyrir okkur bæði.

 

 

 

"Ég er mjög mikill heiður að vera á Showtime og fús til að fá þessa tegund af innlendum útsetningu. A vinna myndi sement mig vera sem einn af bestu yngri veltivigtar horfur í heiminum.

 

 

 

"Ég hef fengið mikið betri þjálfun á Kronk Boxing Líkamsrækt í Detroit. Last æfingabúðir var kynning á American stíl box og þessum búðum virkilega batnað tækni mína og aðferðir við mikilli sparring.

 

 

 

"Ég er 11-0 með 11 knockouts. Ég er puncher og ég vil að knýja hann út, en ég hef þjálfað fyrir fjarlægð. Ég hef þjálfað til að knýja einhvern út í fyrstu umferð og áttundu lotu.

 

 

 

"Þetta er stórt skref upp í andstöðu, en ég hef haft yfir 200 áhugamaður berst gegn nokkrum af bestu áhugamaður Boxer í heiminum. Ég hef barið Olympic medalists og mjög annálaður áhugamaður bardagamenn. "

 

 

 

SONNY Fredrickson

 

 

"Ég hef verið að bíða eftir þessum útsetningu í langan tíma. Ég hef verið að reyna að fá á sjónvarpinu á síðustu tveimur eða þremur árum, þannig að þetta er a gríðarstór samningur fyrir mig. Vonandi vinna högg mig upp í toppinn 5 og gefur mér titil skot í lok þessa árs eða í byrjun næsta árs.

 

 

 

"Við spar mikið með Robert (Easter). It’s back-and-forth action. We grew up together and learn a lot from each other. Ég gef honum nokkrar ábendingar hér og þar og hann gerir það sama fyrir mig.

 

 

 

"Ég veit ekki of mikið um andstæðingurinn minn. Ég veit að hann er Lefty og hann hefur sterka bolla. Hann er góð samsvörun fyrir mig. Hann vill halda áfram að koma fram og land stór skot þannig að ég ætla að vera fær um að úthólfinu honum nokkuð auðveldlega.

 

 

 

"Ég held ekki taugar verður þáttur. Ég hef barist á kortinu Andre Ward, Ég hef verið í stórum slagsmálum áður.

Originally from Lynn, Mass., 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. Þetta er fyrsta helstu atburði mín, and I want to impress. It will be a good way to start 2018, which will be my year.”

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

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.

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.

“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.

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.
 

Í stað, 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.

“This is going to be a tough fight, but I am putting in the work and feel like I will definitely come out on top,” said Hernandez, who has six brothers that have boxed professionally. “It will be action-packed and a must-watch fight. I feel like my aggressive style is meant for TV. I will fight whoever is put in front of me to prove my worth. Dominance in the 122-pound weight division is my ultimate goal.”
