CITATIONS FINALES:

TARAS SHELESTYUK

 

"Herrera est un bon combattant, un dur combattant. Je sais qu'il a vaincu de bons combattants comme Mike Jones, qui était un combattant de haut niveau qui avait été absent quelques années. Mais je suis 100 pour cent prêt. Je m'attends à un combat très dur et excitant, mais je m'attends à être beaucoup plus fort et plus intelligent.

 

"Je suis excité pour toute l'attention de ce combat et je reçois. J'ai toujours su que les fans en Amérique me connaissaient mais peut-être maintenant plus qu'avant. je pense que l'année prochaine, Je peux devenir encore plus connu.

 

« J'ai travaillé sur ma force et je suis devenu plus puissant. Je pense que mes compétences en boxe sont déjà bonnes, mais ma vitesse et ma puissance sont meilleures qu'avant. Je sens en sparring que je frappe plus fort.

 

« J'aime travailler le corps. J'aime le fait que tu en atterrisses assez tôt, ils prennent un péage en retard. C'est une bonne chose de se battre en tant que pro. Je me sens bien dans ma carrière; J'espère combattre certains des meilleurs combattants de la division d'ici un an.

 

"Je suis sûr que Herrera va probablement essayer de venir à moi; il n'y a aucune chance qu'il puisse me battre à la boxe. J'aime les gars qui s'avancent. Ils sont bons pour moi parce que je peux contrer et me déplacer d'un côté à l'autre. Et je suis prêt à me battre à l'intérieur si nécessaire.

 

« Je sais que je peux améliorer mon dernier ShoBox lutte. Je l'ai fait plus près qu'il n'aurait dû l'être. Si c'était à refaire, je pense que je l'arrêterais peut-être juste à cause de ce sur quoi nous travaillons dans le gymnase.

 

« Sparring avec Shane Mosley a été énorme pour moi. C'est un si grand combattant. Quand j'étais plus jeune, je regarderais ses combats. Maintenant on s'entraîne. Il est plus âgé mais toujours très bon. Il connaît tous les trucs et me donne beaucoup de conseils qui m'aident dans et hors du ring. Tout ce qu'il m'a dit, J'ai essayé de postuler.

 

JIMMY HERRERA:

"J'ai travaillé pendant deux mois complets pour ce combat donc je suis prêt. Cela va être un très bon test pour nous deux, un grand combat. C'est un bon boxeur européen, un autre invaincu pour moi. Mais je n'ai pas du tout l'impression d'être l'opprimé. Il a ses atouts, j'ai mes atouts.

 

"Il doit y avoir un but pour chaque coup de poing. Chacun doit compter. S'il s'ouvre et fait une erreur, je dois en profiter. Je dois le sortir de son rythme tôt, le forcer à sortir de sa zone de confort et lui faire combattre mon combat.

 

« Je serai l'agresseur. Mais j'aimerais s'il était l'agresseur. je pense simplement, bien que, le connaissant, il va essayer de boxer et gagner les rounds comme ça. Je travaille tout le temps en avançant et c'est ce que je ferai demain.

 

« Un gamin de Chicago, comme moi, il est difficile d'aller n'importe où dans la boxe sans connexions, donc finalement après s'être battu si longtemps sans manager, J'ai signé avec Cameron Dunkin. J'ai toujours su que je pouvais être un bon boxeur, mais je n'ai jamais pensé que je serais un boxeur. Mais regarde moi savoir, Je me bats sur SHOWTIME et ce combat ne pourrait pas arriver à un meilleur moment.

 

CONSTANTIN BEJENARU:

« Je pense que votre carrière d'amateur vous donne une bonne base, comme un débutant, mais une fois que vous devenez pro, c'est un jeu totalement différent. Peu importe qui a plus d'expérience en tant qu'amateur. En tant que professionnels, nous devons tous faire notre travail ici.

 

"Je ne connais pas Bujaj, mais j'ai vu son combat avec Junior Wright donc je sais qu'il est dur.

 

"Je pense que c'est un grand pas pour moi. Il est 16-0, un bon combattant qui peut frapper ou boxer, et c'est pour une ceinture. C'est un bon combat pour nous deux.

"Je travaille dur pour chaque combat et cela ne fait pas exception. Nous savons que nous devons faire attention aux détails. C'est un gars dangereux mais je suis très confiant.

 

"Je ne m'attends vraiment pas à un combat facile. Je dois appuyer sur l'action. Je dois le mettre aussi mal à l'aise que possible.

 

"Je n'ai pas beaucoup de KO professionnels mais la boxe n'est pas seulement une question de puissance. La boxe c'est l'intelligence et le mental; ce n'est pas juste un combat de rue pour moi.

 

"C'est mon deuxième combat sur ShoBox. Je suis tellement heureux d'être de retour après cette dernière victoire contre Zubov. Le but est de s'occuper, revenez au début de l'année prochaine, puis d'ici l'année prochaine, soyez prêt à vous battre pour un titre majeur d'un certain type.

 

STEVE BUJAJ:

 

"J'attends ce combat avec impatience, mon premier à la télévision en réseau, pour voir où j'en suis. La façon dont je me sens, j'ai tout a gagner, tout à perdre. Cela me pousse au prochain niveau, ou je reste où je suis.

 

"Je suis prêt pour tout type de combat. Je suis un combattant polyvalent et j'aurai l'avantage de la hauteur.

 

"Je me sens prêt maintenant pour les plus gros combats, l'exposition supplémentaire sur SHOWTIME, les cotes, les titres, tout. Mais je le serai certainement encore plus après Vendredi.

 

"Je ne sens pas que ça va 10 tours. Je sens que je vais le briser et éventuellement l'arrêter. Je sens que j'ai les compétences et certainement le cœur. Je suis en bonne santé et prêt à partir.

 

"J'ai vu son dernier combat le ShoBox, et je pensais que c'était assez décent. Il est assez petit pour un cruiserweight. Bien que nous soyons tous les deux de New York, Je n'avais jamais entendu parler de lui avant.

 

"Le camp s'est super bien passé avec beaucoup de sparring. À Las Vegas. Je me suis entraîné avec des combattants de Mayweather comme Ronald Gavril, Badou Jack et l'usine de Caleb. Cela fait quatre ans que je n'ai pas combattu un gaucher mais je ne le considère pas comme un facteur.''

 

VITOR JONES FREITAS:

"Je remercie Dieu et mes deux oncles de m'avoir aidé à arriver là où je suis, pour m'avoir appris et guidé à chaque étape de ma vie et en boxe. Sans leur influence et ce qu'ils ont fait pour moi depuis que je suis 11, Je sens que je serais mort aujourd'hui.

 

"Je suis très excité à propos de ce combat et de l'opportunité de combattre de meilleurs gars. Pour moi, il s'agit de profiter de l'opportunité.

 

"Je gagne de plus en plus d'expérience. Mon objectif est de travailler dur et, comme mon oncle Acelino, faire de bons combats et devenir champion du monde“

 

"Nous avons étudié le style de combat de Mendez et avons beaucoup de respect pour son entraîneur, Joel Diaz. Je sais que Mendez est très fort et s'avance. Je ne sais pas s'il aime quand ses adversaires attaquent sur les côtés mais je suis prêt à le combattre sur les côtés, de la tête aux pieds et des pieds à la tête.

 

MANUEL MENDEZ:

 

"C'est mon neuvième combat avec Joel et nous nous connaissons très bien. A travers le mal et le bien, il a été là pour moi.

 

«Je suis sûr que Freitas a confiance en ses capacités, mais comme tout autre combattant invaincu, il se débrouille bien jusqu'à ce qu'il heurte le mur., c'est ce que Joël veut que je lui fasse faire. Il veut que je le punisse, prendre mon temps.

 

« Je sens que j'ai un pouvoir naturel, peut prendre un coup de poing et avoir du cœur. Frappe moi autant que tu veux, mais attention une fois que je me connecte et que je change les choses. Mon objectif est toujours de les briser, en commençant par le corps.

 

"Je n'ai peut-être pas le pedigree de certains de ces gars, mais j'apprends la défense, comment me rythmer, rester calme et surtout, juste comment se battre. Plus d'expérience, plus tu deviens mature.

 

"Demain Je veux juste être moi et écouter Joel dans le coin. Je ne voudrais pas être à ma place. S'il veut se lever et bang, Faisons le. Je vous garantis que c'est lui qui revient après les premiers instants.

COURONNE, Californie. (Novembre. 2, 2016) — Cruiserweight ultra-confiant invaincu Steve “Superman” Bujaj (16-0-1, 11 KOs), de Westchester, N. Y., intervient avant son important combat de 10 rounds avec un autre invaincu Constantin Bejenaru (11-0, 3 KOs, 0-1-1 dans les World Series of Boxing), de Brooklyn, N. Y., au milieu du match d'une ShoBox: Le triple en-tête de la nouvelle génération ce Vendredi, Novembre. 4, du centre d'événements Omega Products à Corona, Californie.
Bujaj (prononcé “Boo-ha”), 26, a gagné quatre fois de suite, y compris ses deux derniers par KO, depuis qu'il a boxé un match nul en 10 rounds dans un slugfest avec Junior Wright, triple champion des Golden Gloves de Chicago, alors invaincu (10-0) en Mai 2014. Un double champion des Golden Gloves de New York, Bujah, qui se battra sur ShoBox la première fois, vient de remporter un TKO au premier tour contre Sergio Ramirez, invaincu auparavant (11-0) sur Juin 11

Bejenaru (prononcé “bay-zhin-nah-ROO”) fait son deuxième départ ShoBox. Dans ses débuts dernier Avril 15, le natif d'Ungheni, Moldavie, a marqué une décision unanime en huit rounds contre Alexey Zubov, invaincu auparavant (10-0), un ancien champion amateur de Russie et sept fois champion d'Europe amateur. Southpaw Bejenaru a boxé dans l'équipe nationale roumaine pour 10 ans et a été neuf fois champion national.

Voici ce que Bujaj a dit:

Que savez-vous de Bejenaru et quelles sont vos pensées?

“Je sais qu'il est invaincu, 11-0 et un gaucher, but I don’t believe he’s on my level. I think I’m a different class fighter and will be able to show it vendredi.”

What kind of fight do you expect?

“I don’t really have any expectations. When I get in there, I make my adjustments, and then I start breaking him down.”

What is the key to winning? What are your advantages?

“My best advantage is my experience. I’ve fought 10 tours avant. This is his first time. I believe that I’m more skilled than he is, and I believe that I have more heart and just think I have the edge all around.”

On fighting on ShoBox the first time?

“I’m very excited and grateful for the opportunity that has been given me. I’m ready to go out and perform and show the world what I’m all about — et c'est l'un des meilleurs gars de la division cruiserweight.”

Votre avis sur la division cruiserweight?

“La division cruiserweight est une bonne division avec beaucoup de bons combattants. J'ai l'impression qu'il y aura plus d'exposition à l'avenir car il y a tellement de combattants talentueux et de bons combats qui peuvent arriver. J'ai hâte de faire partie de certains des grands combats et de faire du bruit.”

Que signifierait pour vous une victoire sur ShoBox?

“Une victoire sur SHOWTIME serait vraiment énorme, mais surtout ça me ferait continuer.”

Font-ils une erreur en te combattant?

“je ne pense pas qu'il s'est trompé, mais je refuse de perdre ce combat. je vais tout donner. Il n'est pas à mon niveau et je vais le prouver. Je vais me battre.”

Sur son slugfest avec l'ancien challenger du titre mondial Wright?
“Je gagnais le combat mais je me suis cassé la mâchoire au quatrième round. j'ai eu un mauvais embout buccal, un pas cher. Je ne savais pas que les embouchures devaient être ajustées. Le chirurgien m'a dit si j'avais eu un bec pro, je n'aurais pas eu de problème.
“Je crois toujours que n'importe qui d'autre aurait abandonné ce combat. j'avais très mal, Je ne pouvais pas fermer ma bouche parce que la mâchoire était cassée, je crachais du sang. Mais je me suis accroché malgré la mâchoire.

“Je l'ai sorti debout dans la dernière demi-minute environ, mais l'arbitre a arrêté le combat pour lui laisser le temps de scotcher un des lacets de son gant.. Cela lui a donné le temps de récupérer. Si l'arbitre ne l'avait pas arrêté quand il l'a fait, J'ai l'impression que je l'aurais assommé.”

Sur sa carrière?

“J'ai dû travailler dur pour ma carrière. Je n'ai pas de dossier rembourré. Je ne l'ai pas aussi facile que la plupart dans leur carrière. Je n'ai pas de grand promoteur, et je ne suis pas choyé. J'ai combattu des durs tout au long de ma carrière mais j'ai beaucoup appris et je n'ai aucun regret. Mais je sens qu'il est temps pour moi d'intensifier. Après j'ai gagné Vendredi sur ShoBox, beaucoup de portes devraient commencer à m'ouvrir.”
Nouveau surnom?

“J'ai été connu sous le nom de « Superman » toute ma carrière, mais je pense le changer en “Acier.” Le combat de Wright a prouvé beaucoup de moi, et j'ai beaucoup appris. Je ne quittai. Je suis très dur et fort d'esprit, fait d'acier.'”
Bujaj vs. Bejenaru est prévu pour 10 tours et fera partie d'une ShoBox: Le triple titre New Generation en direct sur SHOWTIME à 10:30 p.m. ET/PT (retardés sur la côte ouest). L'événement principal mettra en vedette des poids welters invaincus Taras Shelestyuk (14-0, 9 KO) prenant bouleversé l'esprit Jimmy Herrera (15-3-1, 8 KO).

ORANGE, Californie. (Novembre. 2, 2016) – Perspective légère percutante Manuel mendez (12-1-2, 8 KOs) fait son U.S. television debut against unbeaten Vitor Jones Freitas (12-0, 6 KOs) cette Vendredi, Novembre. 4, du Omega Products Event Center in Corona, Californie.

Freitas vs. Mendez is scheduled for eight rounds and kicks off a ShoBox: The New Generation tripleheader live on AFFICHER L'HEURE à 10:30 p.m. ET/PT (retardés sur la côte ouest).

Billets pour l'événement promu par Banner Promotions, Thompson Boxing, Hitz Boxing et Star Boxing de Joe DeGuardia sont au prix de $100 (Ringside), $70 (réservé) et $50 (admission générale) et peuvent être achetés en appelant (714) 935-0900.

Mendez, who is trained by the well-regarded Joel Diaz, is putting the finishing touches on a training camp that saw him spar against former world champions Victor Ortiz, Ruslan Provodnikov and elite prospect Vergil Ortiz.

Thompson Boxing caught up with the 26-year-old slugger from Indio, Californie. and got his take on de ce vendredi ShoBox fight.

(On your first time fighting in front of a nationally televised audience) ...

“Il est une grande opportunité. I always push myself to the limits and this fight is no different. I have a fan-friendly style that the SHOWTIME audience is going to love.”

(On paper your fight against Freitas appears evenly matched, but most are giving the upper hand to your opponent) …

“I’ve always been the underdog all my life so this is another shot to prove myself. Freitas has a famous name, but that’s about it. He hasn’t faced anyone that approaches my ability.”

(On what you expect from Freitas) …

“The first few rounds will go a long way in knowing what he has. From watching tape, it seems like he has speed, but the most important thing is gauging his power. I can take a punch so once I feel him connect with something, then I’ll know what he has to offer.”

(On your relationship with Joel Diaz) …

“We have an excellent relationship. He’s incredibly helpful in that I’ve seen a great deal of improvement since I’ve been with him. Everything is better. My conditioning, mouvement de la tête, jeu de jambe; I’ve improved in a lot of areas. He’s a great teacher.”

(How would you describe your style for those that have yet to see you fight?) ...

“I’m a smart boxer that pressures fighters into making mistakes. I have all the tools needed to wear down opponents. You’ll always see me in front of you to the point where you get annoyed and start making mental errors. That’s when I put the hurt on you.”

Chicago Welterweight Looks to Defeat Another Unbeaten Boxer When He Faces Taras Shelestyuk in Main Event Of ShoBox: La Nouvelle Génération tripleheader, Ce vendredi, Novembre. 4, En direct sur SHOWTIME®

Laisser un commentaire
NEW YORK (Novembre. 1, 2016) – Pince-monseigneur “La Vérité” Herrera is accustomed to entering the ring as an underdog. The Chicago native is experienced in fighting favored prospects and contenders on the road and has had an inordinate success in these types of matchups, having defeated unbeaten prospects in four of his last nine fights.

So don’t expect Herrera (15-3-1, 8 KOs) to be in awe of his opponent, former Ukraine amateur standout and rising star, Taras Shelestyuk (14-0, 9 KOs) when they meet this Vendredi, Novembre. 4, in the 10-round welterweight main event on ShoBox: La Nouvelle Générationsurvivre Showtime (10:30 p.m. ET/PT, retardés sur la côte ouest) à Omega Products Event Center en Couronne, Californie.

Le 5 pieds 10, 27-year-old Herrera has won three in a row and is 8-1-1 since dropping a close eight-round decision to Adrian Granados en Février 2012. One of those victories was an upset seventh-round TKO over one-time highly ranked welterweight and world title challenger Micro “Mitrailleuse” Jones on Aug. 23, 2014.

Herrera is promoted by Hitz Boxing and co-managed by Cameron Dunkin and Mike Cericola.

Here are Herrera’s responses to a recent Q&Un:

What are your thoughts going into your ShoBox debut?
“Je suis toujours prêt à relever un défi, so I’m really excited about this opportunity. I’m definitely ready to compete against another undefeated fighter. I’m coming to show my skills to the world and prove I’m a boxer you have to pay attention to.

“At this point of my career, I want to make a move fast while I’m young. I don’t just want to be a guy with a nice record. I truly believe in my skills and that I can reach the highest level.

“I’ve been getting great help with sparring with the best of the best in Chicago. Sam Colonna, George Hernandez and all the Chicago boxing coaches have been great mentors to me and I am very thankful.”

What do you know about Shelestyuk?
“He was a great amateur fighter and he’s a lefty. That’s pretty much all I need to know. The only thing I can give him is that he has experience, so I’ve got to be careful of that. But it’s nothing new – I’ve seen fighters like that.”

What kind of fight do you expect?
“I expect him to be a boxer with movement. I think he’ll try to box me. I’ll be coming forward, being aggressive. Puis, we’ll see what his game plan is.”

What is the key to winning?
“It all depends on the pressure I can apply, throwing the right punches at the right time, the accuracy of my punches. Each punch has to have a purpose. I’m definitely more of a pressure guy. I like Gennady Golovkin’s style, Julio Cesar Chavez is my idol. That is the kind of style I try to fight with.”

On fighting on ShoBox for the first time?
“I’m definitely excited because I know a lot of people will be watching. Je ne suis pas du tout nerveux. The cameras, the bright lights, honnêtement, I don’t care about. My focus is totally on this fight. This is the type of fight that can open a lot of doors for me.”

Is this your biggest fight and do you feel pressure?
“Oui, certainement, vraiment, défénétivement, this is my biggest fight — just for all the doors a win would open for me, all the possibilities. Il n'y a pas de pression sur moi. He’s the one representing his country with the weight on his shoulders. I’ve lost before, but that doesn’t make me an opponent.”

Font-ils une erreur en te combattant??
“I feel like they are making a mistake, but I also feel this is going to be a good test for him. I think Taras took the fight more for himself. But if he doesn’t know now about me, he’s going to find out.”

You boxed amateurs for one year and had 25 bouts. Il était un 2012 Olympic Bronze Medalist with a boatload of amateur accomplishments. How significant is the experience of fighting amateur?
“Personnellement, à moi, the amateurs are not that important at all. It’s all irrelevant once you go pro. I know some great amateur boxers who made it after turning pro, and some who didn’t. It’s a whole different ballgame. As a pro, I believe I’ve fought better guys than he has. I’ve been tested way more than he has. You can’t take away what he did as an amateur, but fighting with the smaller gloves, with no headgear, is totally different.”

Undefeated cruiserweights Constantin Bejenaru (11-0, 4 KOs, 0-1-1 en World Series of Boxing), de Catskill, N. Y.. via la Moldavie, et Steve “Superman” Bujaj (16-0-1, 11 KOs), de New York, will collide in a 10-rounder for the vacant WBC International WBC Continental Americas titles in the co-feature.

The nephew of popular former two-time lightweight world champion Acelino “Crosse” Freitas, invaincu léger Vitor Jones Freitas (12-0, 1 Dakota du Nord, 6 KOs), de Salvador, Bahia, Brésil, sera opposé par le favori des fans locaux Manuel mendez (12-1-2, 8 KOs), Indio, Calif., in an eight-round bout in the opening match of the telecast.

NEW YORK (Octobre. 31, 2016) – Promising unbeaten 2012 Jeux Olympiques médaillé de bronze Taras "Real Deal" Shelestyuk (14-0, 9 KOs) will make his main event debut when he faces upset-minded Jimmy Herrera in the 10-round featured attraction of a ShoBox: La Nouvelle Génération tripleheader this Fridaet, Novembre. 4, survivre AFFICHER L'HEURE à 10:30 p.m. ET/PT (retardés sur la côte ouest) à partir de Produits Oméga International Event Center à Corona, Californie.

 

A 5-foot-10 up-and-coming rising star, Shelestyuk, de Los Angeles, est classé No. 9 par la WBO et n °. 13 dans la WBA. Shelestyuk, who is making his second ShoBox start, moyenne 85 punches a round en route to winning his ShoBox debut with a 10-round division over Aslanbek Kozak le nov. 6, 2015.

 

The dedicated, hard-working Shelestyuk, qui est formé par Eric Brun and spars a few days a week with former world champion Shane Mosley, at Wild Card West in Santa Monica, Calif., possesses solid skills, mouvement et de poinçonnage de puissance.

 

Shelestyuk was a member of a vaunted 2012 Ukrainian Olympic team that included featherweight gold medalist Vasyl Lomachenko and heavyweight gold medalist Oleksandr Usyk. The 30-year-old feels he’s still about a year away from competing against the best at 147 pounds and that he first must get by Herrera. But Mosley claims Shelestyuk reminds him of a bigger Lomachencko and believes he’s already ready for the top names in the welterweight division.

 

Herrera (15-3-1, 8 KOs), de Chicago, Illinois, has defeated unbeaten prospects in four of last nine fights and is 8-1-1 globalement depuis juillet 2012.

 

Shelestyuk, Brown et Mosley ont parlé à SHOWTIME après une récente séance d'entraînement. Voici ce qu'ils ont dit:

 

TARAS SHELESTYUK:

Que pensez-vous du combat?
"Je suis très excité. Cela fait six mois depuis mon dernier combat. C'est mon premier combat à la une et j'espère pas le dernier.

 

« J'ai beaucoup travaillé dans mon camp d'entraînement avec mon entraîneur Eric Brown, et avec mon préparateur physique. Mon adversaire est un combattant coriace. Il a eu de bons combats avec des gars comme Mike Jones, Egidijus Kavaliauskas et quelques autres grands. Il aime se battre et je pense que ce sera un bon combat et un bon match pour nos styles.

 

Vous êtes maintenant un combattant classé; êtes-vous satisfait du rythme de votre progression?

“I’m happy with my progression but of course I want to fight bigger names in championship fights and all of that. I know it’s coming soon. I enjoy my way of training and developing my skills, but if you see your dream you do anything to reach it and don’t let anything get in your way.’’

 

What do you think of the welterweight division?

“It’s a very good division because there are a lot of fighters, but some don’t want to fight each other (very often). There are some very good championship fights to be made and hopefully I will be one of them.”

 

Why did you chose to move to Southern California?

"Bien, [rires] mainly because if the great weather, but this is also a good area with a lot of good fighters and a lot of good trainers as well. When I first moved here my manager invited me out and showed me around and I got in the gym right away. I was training with Ruslan Provodnikov and got some sparring in with him before a fight that he had and next thing you know, two weeks later I had my pro debut and now three-and-a-half years later here I am.’’

 

Is there pressure on you when you fight?

“I wouldn’t say I feel pressure because everyone around me is supporting me, they believe in me and I believe in them. My team believes in me and I trust them. I just want to do what I do in the ring, mieux. I want to do better for me, for my family and for my friends.’’

 

Do you follow your Olympic teammates?

“I watch fights of the Ukrainian Olympic Team, and I enjoy when the other guys win. We support each other and we call each other. It is good for there to be more Ukraine fighters who are champions now. L'année prochaine, I hope to be one of them.”

 

How did it feel going 10 tours pour la première fois,?

“Last year in November I had my first 10-round fight on ShoBox, I fought with a strong guy and he gave me a very good fight. Je suis allé le 10 rounds and I felt like I could still go two more. I am ready for 10, pour 12, ce n'est pas important. I feel much better, much more powerful. I have more speed than I had in my last fight, aussi."

 

How did you end up training with Eric?

“I trained with Freddie Roach for about two and a half years when I met Eric at Wild Card West Gym. I started sparring with some of his guys there. After my fight with Rodriguez on ESPN in 2015 I asked Eric to train me and we started working. Now that I’ve fought two fights with him as my trainer, I feel my boxing skills are better, I feel more powerful and I enjoy training in his gym.

 

“All of the trainers help us and they give us advice. On the days I spar with Shane Mosley he stops and gives me some advice. I learn a lot from him, being the fighting legend that he is. I grew up watching him fight as a kid and respect what he’s able to teach me. Then the next time I try what he has taught me and it works.”

 

Boxing is in your blood; your dad and brother boxed. When you were younger, did you think you were going to become a fighter?

"Ne Pas, but my father pushed me in a lot of sports. I did gymnastics, soccer for five years, and played chess. I fought as a kid but it was always friendly. I always enjoyed the training aspect. To train for soccer sometimes my father and I would run barefoot in the snow and I enjoyed it. Si, comme un gamin, when I first stepped into the boxing gym, it was just so much fun.’’

Your ShoBox fight falls on your father’s birthday; do you have a special present in mind for him?

“It makes me want to get the victory for him. On his day, he will be sitting and watching my fight so I want to get that victory for him, for my family and for the Ukraine.’’

 

ERIC BROWN, Shelestyuk’s trainer

What kind of camp has Taras had has had and what do you see happening vendredi?

“I see a lot of progression in Taras. When we first started working together, one of the things was that Taras always had great boxing ability, but he wasn’t a great finisher. I don’t know if he was gun shy or what it was but he had a tendency of using his talent to get people in trouble but then he would stand back and let them get back in the fight. Si, what we’ve been working on a lot more is getting him to become a better finisher and recognize when he has his man in trouble and how to seize the moment, without being reckless at the same time. He’s improving at a fast pace.

 

“A lot of guys from Ukraine seem to have similar tendencies because they have long amateur careers and they start picking up bad habits that we need to correct. Taras had a little bit of that in him but he seems to be making the adjustments very well. He’s an extremely hard worker and you often have to tell him to slow down, you never have to tell him to do more.”

 

Where do you see him in his career as a welterweight?

“It’s a great division. I’d say that Keith Thurman tops it without a doubt now but there are good fighters like Shawn Porter too. If Mayweather decided to come back, I think he would be all over this division again. Canelo is a good super welterweight, but he’s too busy worrying about catch-weights. Undoubtedly in another year, I think Taras will be right there with the best of them. He’s got a lot of talent, great versatility, great hand speed and foot speed and he’s a good puncher. Not a devastating knockout puncher but a great puncher nonetheless with both hands.’’

 

SHANE MOSLEY, Ancien champion du monde

How has it been working with Taras and how did you become involved in his training?

“I have been sparring with Taras and he’s looking really sharp. I’ve been sparring with him for about four or five months now pretty consistently because a lot of guys won’t spar with him. Guys are worried that he will make them look bad; he’s so technical and sharp that they don’t want to spar with him. Si, I go in there with him a lot. It’s hard to get people to spar with him.’’

 

Where do you see him in the welterweight division?

“He’s on that championship path, that level, but I think once he gets there, he’ll get more sparring partners and will get even better. He really is a world champion, a world-class fighter. He reminds me of a bigger Lomachenko, sparring with him is just like that. I see him as a top welterweight champion. The way he throws his combinations, he’s a smart boxer who works out very hard. He’s at the gym every single day, whether he’s sparring or not, whether he has some training to do or not. He’ll even be here by himself just moving around and staying sharp. His work ethic is really, vraiment fort.

 

How do you like working with Taras?

“I like Taras and I enjoy working with him. He’s extremely dedicated and that’s hard to find. I like Taras’ work ethic, his personality, how he takes to boxing. He loves this sport and he wants to be the best. He doesn’t like to lose, even in sparring. I’m impressed with him. When I sparred with him for the first time I was very impressed at his swing, his power, his ring accuracy, his IQ of boxing. I was impressed with how hard he worked and his willingness to learn.’’

 

Do you find it unusual for guys to be as dedicated as Taras at this point in their careers?

“It’s unusual in the sense that a lot of fighters want to learn from the top guys but it seems to me with Taras that it’s not fake. He truly does want to learn about boxing so that he can be the best. He wants to become a world champion and is working to become one of the best. If you put Taras in the ring with any big name today and I’d say he would take the victory. He has a sound mind. He has the mentality to be at the top. He’s serious about being the world champion, about being the top fighter. He’s serious about winning and he’s going to take it all the way to the end. If you put this guy against Thurman, I’d go with him. I think he beats Thurman right now.’’

TARAS SHELESTYUK VS. JAIME HERRERA – 10-Round Welterweight Main Event

Taras Shelestyuk (pronounced “TARE-as SHELL-es-took) moyenne 85 punches per round in his ShoBox debut last November, winning an impressive 10-round unanimous decision over Aslanbek Kozak. In his most recent start and lone outing this year last Mai 20, the 5-foot-10, 30-year-old Shelestyuk knocked out Erick Martinez in the third round at Ontario, Californie.

 

“My training is going great, I am more powerful and my speed is better,” said the former international standout. “Herrera is a rough fighter, but it doesn’t matter to me because I am looking to step up and get into championship level fights.’’

 

Shelestyuk, qui est formé par Eric Brun at Wild Card West, possesses solid skills, mouvement et de poinçonnage de puissance. Depuis la mise en pro en Mars 2013 he has exclusively campaigned in the United States. Many from the outstanding 2012 Ukrainian Olympic team became immediate prospects as professionals, including Lomachenko, who won a featherweight world championship in just his third fight on SHOWTIME. Maintenant, it’s Shelestyuk’s turn to step up to the plate.

 

“I follow the 2012 Ukrainian Olympic team, and all the guys are doing very well and I’m happy for them,’’ said Shelestyuk, qui est allé 300-15 dans les amateurs. “But I do not compare my results with anybody else because I have my own career and my own path to a championship belt, and I am enjoying this journey.”
Herrera, un pro depuis décembre 2009, seems to be a legitimate test for Shelestyuk. Herrera has won three straight, defeated undefeated prospects in four of last nine fights, et est 8-1-1 overall since dropping a decision to Adrian Granados en 2012. One of those wins was an upset knockout of one-time highly ranked welterweight and world title challenger Mike “Machine Gun” Jones le août. 23, 2014.

 

“Taras is a great fighter and I know I’m the underdog, but I’ve surprised some fighters before and I’m confident and ready to give it my best and win again,” said Herrera. “I’m coming into this fight with the same mentality I had in those fights against the other unbeaten guys. The way I see it, Taras has everything to lose and I fight as I have nothing to lose.’’

 

“I’ve been training very seriously and I’m excited to be able to showcase my skills on television. I grew up watching ShoBox. There will be more eyes on me and they will see my ability to fight. Getting a win will increase my ranking and open up more doors for my career.”

 

CONSTANTIN BEJENARU VS. STIVENS BUJAJ – 10-Round Cruiserweight Bout

Bejenaru (pronounced “bay-zhin-nah-ROO”) was an accomplished amateur. The southpaw boxed on the Romanian national team for 10 ans et a été neuf fois champion national.

 

Dans son ShoBox premiere last Avril 15, the active and athletic native of Ungheni, Moldavie, scored a unanimous eight-round decision over previously unbeatenAlexey Zubov (10-0), un ancien champion amateur de Russie et sept fois champion d'Europe amateur.

 

Bejenaru is anxious to return to ShoBox and continue his winning ways. “Bujaj is a great boxer, we are both undefeated but there can only be one victor, and I do not plan on losing this fight,'' At-il dit. “I entered this fight with the intention of winning. That is what I train to do, that is what I am going to do.

 

“As a man who has been boxing for over 22 ans, I feel extremely grateful to have been given this opportunity. In my previous ShoBox lutte, I was labeled as the underdog. Those who doubted me quickly changed their opinions once they saw me fight, and even more so once the referee raised my hand in victory.’’

 

Bujaj (pronounced “Boo-ha”) was born in Kelmend, Albania, but relocated to the Bronx, New York at an early age. The unbeaten prospect was a two-time New York Golden Gloves Champion at heavyweight who’s made for good fights every time out and mostly made it look easy. This is Bujaj’s third scheduled 10-round start, while Bejenaru will be making his 10-round debut.

 

The 26-year-old has won his last four in a row, y compris ses deux derniers par KO, since boxing a split 10-round draw in a slugfest with then-undefeated three-time Chicago Golden Gloves champion Wright junior (10-0) en Mai 2014.

 

“I’m getting prepared,’’ said Bujah who’s coming off a first-round TKO over previously undefeated beaten Sergio Ramirez (11-0) sur Juin 11. “I’m training like this is a world title fight, and I’m totally ready to win. I know my opponent is undefeated and I can’t overlook him. La façon dont je me sens, I’m on my ‘A’ Game. I was training in Las Vegas and now I am back in New York with Sharif Younan and I am ready to do everything I can to win this fight.

 

“This is the exposure and opportunity I’ve been waiting for. I just want to pick up these WBC titles that we are fighting for and be bumped up the rankings. Once I pick up these belts, I will be in the top 10 and anything is possible.’’

 

VITOR JONES FREITAS VS. MANUEL MENDEZ – Eight-Round Lightweight Bout

The nephew of popular former two-time lightweight world champion Acelino « Popo » Freitas has been victorious in 12 consecutive bouts since fighting a No-Contest in his pro debut in July 2012. He’s coming off a fifth-round TKO over Rodolfo Franz dernier Mai 21.

 

Two outings ago, Freitas captured the Brazilian lightweight crown with a 10-round decision over Sidney Siquiera. This will Freitas’ sixth U.S. Démarrer; his last five fights were in Brazil.

 

“My uncle had many great fights on SHOWTIME and on Novembre. 4, I am looking to carry on his legacy,” Freitas said. “This will be another step in following in his footsteps to become a world champion.’’

 

Mendez, who is trained by the respected Joel Diaz, is coming off a fourth-round knockout over Erick Martinez this past Sept. 23 en Ontario. Mendez used a strong, bruising style in which he mixed his punches well to punish Martinez. Le 5-foot-8, 26-year-old Mendez has gone 12-0-2 since getting stopped in his pro debut in October 2010.

 

“I am excited about this opportunity to fight on ShoBox,’’ said Mendez who is a sparring partner for Ruslan Provodnikov et Timothy Bradley. “I know with a win, my career will escalate to a new level. I am looking to knock out Vitor.”

MIAMI, Okla. (Sept. 24, 2016) – On a night when undefeated heavyweight Trey Lippe Morrison won his television debut and Ivan "The Beast" Baranchyk et Ivan "Le Volk" Golub est resté invaincu, mi-lourds Radivoje “Hot Rod” Kalajdzic regained his winning ways by registering a fifth-round knockout over previously unbeaten Travis Peterkin dans l'événement principal d'un ShoBox: La Nouvelle Génération quadrupleheader vivre AFFICHER L'HEURE Vendredi à partir de Buffalo Run Casino à Miami, Okla.

 

Faire son ShoBox debut and first start since suffering his lone defeat on a disputed decision to Marcus Browne, a motivated Kalajdzic (22-1, 15 KOs) de St. Pétersbourg, Floride, dropped Peterkin (16-1-1, 7 KOs), of the Brownsville section of Brooklyn, N. Y., two times in the fifth before the fight was stopped at 1:32.

 

Other televised results: Baranchyk (12-0, 10 KOs), de Brooklyn, N. Y., took a 10-round unanimous decision over Wang Zhimin (7-1, 3 KOs, 7-1 WSB), of Nutley, N.J. by way of Ningbo, Chine, dans le ShoBox co-métrage; immensely popular local favorite and son of the late former world heavyweight champion, Tommy “The Duke” Morrison, poids lourd Trey Lippe Morrison (12-0, 12 KOs) demolished previously unbeaten Ed Latimore (13-1, 7 KOs), de Pittsburgh, Pa., Marquer un 2:19, first-round TKO; and Ukrainian welterweight Golub (13-0, 11 KOs, 5-0 WSB), de Brooklyn, registered a third-round knockout over James Stevenson(23-3, 16 KOs), de Baltimore, Md.

 

Kalajdzic overwhelmed Peterkin with consistent aggression, superior fighting spirit and better power. Il a débarqué 45 pour cent de ses coups en puissance, y compris 60 percent in the final round. Plus, il a dirigé 37-7 in body connects.

 

“The one-dimensional nature of Travis Peterkin cost him big time because he had no answer for Hot Rod’s right hand, and when he threw his own power shots they were ineffective,'' ShoBox analyste expert Steve Farhood ladite suite. “He was exposed ce soir, and Kalajdzic rejuvenated his career after the loss with Marcus Browne.”

 

A 6-foot-2 native of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kalajdzic dropped Peterkin the first time with a right-left combination and finished him with a right-left-right combination. Peterkin fell heavily in a neutral corner, prompting the referee to stop it.

 

“He was a little bit awkward so it took me a little bit to find my range but once I did and I got into a rhythm, Je savais qu'il n'allait pas durer,’’ Kalajdzic said. “We have been working on staying patient and finding that range and it showed ce soir.

 

“I wanted to make a statement in this fight and I did. I want the biggest names in the light heavyweight division, but before that I want Marcus Browne again. That is unfinished business for me. If he really thinks he won the fight then let’s do it again. We could fight next week. I’m ready.’’

 

Baranchyk, despite getting cut for the first time in his career (over his left eye in the fifth), remporté par les scores de 100-90 deux fois et 99-91. Il n'y avait pas passes rabattues.

 

The rounds, particularly in the fight’s second half, were competitive. Both fighters landed a high percentage of power shots, 44 percent for Baranchyk, 41 percent for Zhimin, but the difference was that Baranchyk was busier, crisper and physically stronger.

 

Going more than four rounds for the first time, he answered questions about his late-round stamina and feels he is now ready to step up again.

“The 140-pound division is loaded with talent,’’ Baranchyk said. “There are tons of fighters I would love to fight, but there are two guys in particular I’d like to fight next: Maurice Hooker and Abel Ramos. Hooker is with Roc Nation and is above me in the ratings. He’s undefeated and this would be a great fight to prove I’m one of the best up-and-coming guys in this division. I’d love Ramos to fight Ramos too. We are both promoted by DBE and I have heard he called me out. He’s a come forward guy and those are the type of fights I like and that make for great TV.

“I love the fans here in Miami and I love fighting on ShoBox. This was my first time going 10 rounds and I feel great. Of course I would have liked to get the knockout because I always want to put on a spectacular show, but this was a great learning experience for me. He was an extremely tough opponent and I was surprised he was able to take so many big shots. We have been working on being patient and boxing and I was able to show that ce soir.''

 

Wang, who gave his best and never allowed Baranchyk to relax, dit, “I felt a little tight and I couldn’t get my punches off like I wanted to. He was a little too big for me.’’

 

In a performance that lit up the arena, Lippe Morrison dropped Latimore two times and was on the verge of knocking him down again when the referee stepped in and halted matters at 2:19. Morrison decked Latimore the first time with a right hand midway through the first. Quelques instants plus tard, Latimore went down again from two rights and a left hook. After a series of shots, the referee stopped it.

 

“You know I have to watch the fight, but I think I did alright,’’ said Morrison after what was supposed to be the most dangerous assignment of his career. “I know I have to be patient and work behind my jab and just take the opening that I see – patiently. Being patient is something I’ve really been working on. I really felt my patience this time.

 

“I didn’t expect it to end this quick. I knew it might, but I didn’t plan on it. It felt good to drop a guy with my left hand. I never had the accuracy or quickness with the left that I do know. I now feel that I am equally adept with both hands. My left is like my right.

 

“To win a fight like this is definitely a relief. I was nervous about the fight, but not about fighting on TV. This was supposed to be my toughest fight on paper and I think I did well.

 

“I feel I may have opened some eyes, but that’s in large part to Freddie Roach. I feel I’m improving thanks to Freddie. I’m throwing quicker, snappier punches and the coordination between my footwork with my hands is way better. All that is because of Freddie.

 

“I wasn’t going for the KO but I’m glad it happened. I could not have done it without Freddie, ce est sûr. I’ll be going back to California in a week and then right to the gym.”

 

The knockout was Lippe Morrison’s ninth in the first round. He also has two second-round knockouts and one fourth-round KO in a career that began in February 2014.

 

“We want to see more of Trey Lippe Morrison,'' Farhood dit. “Let’s let Freddie Roach to do a little bit more of work with him. He had a tremendous pressure on him ce soir, but he did fantastically and he responded very well. He made a big step up in class ce soir and couldn’t have produced a better result: a first-round knockout.”

 

After a competitive, fast-paced first round, Golub took over as Stevenson appeared to tire. A picturesque right hook to the chin dropped and staggered Stevenson, who still wobbly, got up by the count of five, but Golub continued his two-fisted assault, delivered over 20 unanswered punches and the referee stopped it.

 

“To me the guy that stole the show was Golub,», A déclaré Farhood. “We keep thinking of him as a boxer but he showed tremendous power ce soir. He knocked out a very sturdy opponent in Stevenson and Baranchyk will benefit tremendously by going 10 tours. He showed a lot by throwing as many punches as he did late in the fight against an opponent who simply wouldn’t be hurt.’’

 

“I could see from the first round that he was leaving himself wide open when he was coming in,’’ said Golub after his second ShoBox Démarrer. “I knew it was only a matter of time until I caught him with something really big and I would get him out of there. I’m happy with the performance but know I still have a lot to improve on. Our game plan was to be patient and box and let him come to us. I’m looking forward to getting back in there soon and continuing to climb the ranks of the welterweight division.’’

Vendredi de four-fight telecast that was promoted by DiBella Entertainment and Tony Holden Productions in association with Fight Promotions and Roc Nation Sports will re-air Lundi à 10 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME ON DEMAND beginning today, Samedi, Sept. 24.

Below is what the fighters had to say prior to De jeudi pesée:

 

RADIVOJE Kalajdzic

“This is my second 10-round fight and it is against another unbeaten southpaw from New York. I’m looking forward to this fight and I’m anxious to look ahead.

 

“I was very upset after my last fight [a controversial decision loss to unbeaten Marcus Browne]. I wasn’t really mad necessarily at myself or my team; it was mostly the referee. Puis, afterward when I saw the reaction from the fans, who totally booed the decision, even took their Marcus Browne T-shirts off, I didn’t feel so badly.

 

"Vendredi I want to come in and look great and hopefully stop this guy. I want to look better and cleaner than I did against Browne. I fought OK against Browne, but I should have used my jab more and not allowed him to grab and hold me so much.

 

“I was looking too much to land my right. I know I need to do better at setting it up by jabbing first. And by punching in bunches.

“A big win Vendredi won’t remove the overall sting of my last fight; nothing can erase the result. But since Browne doesn’t want to give me a rematch, I’m not going to just chase him. I have to move ahead.

 

“Against Peterkin, I want to keep it simple – jab, move and use the right hand. I need to keep him on the end of my punches. It looks like he comes at you but I’m going to come at him, trop, in a smart way. I want to try and get inside, smother him. I never got that chance against Browne because of all the holding.

 

“Peterkin is undefeated, durable and coming to win. I expect a very tough fight. But everything is going according to plan. I had about sixth months of preparation. The errors I made in my last fight have been fixed. They won’t happen again. I have an opportunity in this fight to erase all the bitter memories of my last fight.’’

 

TRAVIS PETERKIN

“Making 175 pounds is OK. I can make the weight with no problem. So weight is no issue. If there was a weight class at 185, I’d probably be in it, mais 175 is fine. Je suis prêt.

 

“I watched ‘Hot Rod’ closely against Browne. It was definitely a good fight. I feel Marcus could have won easily if he’d have finished the job in some of the rounds. If he stays outside he wins easily, but he wanted to make a point by going inside.

 

“Now ‘Hot Rod’ gets me, and this is a tremendous opportunity for me. He’s a good fighter and should have a zero there on his losses. He has power and is a decent counter-puncher. But we’ve prepared for him. We’re coming to win, box or brawl. This has been one of my best camps in a long time. I’m confident of a win.

 

“The key is controlling what goes on in the ring, be smart and listen to my corner. I feel this is definitely the toughest fight for me, and for him, trop.

 

“’I’m looking forward to the fight and the opportunity to make a name for myself at 175. It’s been a long journey, but if I can be myself and do what I came here to do, I’ll be fine.’’

 

Oy BARANCHYK

“This is like a second home for me, fighting in Miami. I like the people. They seem to like me. Vendredi should be an exciting night for everybody.

 

“My last two fights have ended quickly but I always train and plan to go 10 tours. I never try for one-round knockouts. I look forward to the time when I can show off a little more of my boxing and overall skills. I do have patience.

 

“I think my opponent is very good and has a lot of experience. He’s better than the last two fighters I fought. I feel this fight could go some rounds. But I have power, donc nous verrons.

 

“I work very hard in the gym. I spar 10 rounds every day. I got to spar a few rounds with Danny Garcia for this fight. Training with a world champion like him was a tremendous learning experience and it helped me a lot. I hope some of it shows vendredi.''

 

WANG ZHIMIN

“I want to thank everyone for this chance to fight. I’m prepared for everything. My opponent is a very experienced boxer with a good reputation. This is definitely a step up and my biggest fight.

 

“I can promise you one thing: We’ll put on an exciting show for you.

 

“My goal is to ultimately be fighting for a world title. It takes a lot of time, patience and work inside the gym.

 

“I’m known for my aggressiveness but I’m constantly working on boxing more. I feel I’ve improved a lot since I was an amateur.

 

“So I’m ready for this fight. He may be a big puncher but I don’t look at his numbers. This is a solid matchup, a crossroads fight and a good opportunity for both of us.’’

 

TREY LIPPE MORRISON

“This is a real, significant step up for me but I have to approach it like I always do.

 

“Moving to Hollywood [Calif.] was a big change for me, but it meant I could train with Freddie Roach. He boosted my confidence just by the fact he agreed to take me on. So he must have seen something.

 

“There are so many things we work on: le ring, jeu de jambe, things to look for, stuff to avoid.

 

“This is a tough fight for both of us, a dangerous test. Latimore is definitely my toughest opponent so far.

 

“I know a lot of people are interested in watching me and seeing how I do because of my dad. But as I go on, they’ll see I’m my own person.

 

“Fighting here again at the Buffalo Run is always exciting but a ring is a ring; there is no home field advantage. I certainly appreciate the fans’ support but I can’t think about it.

 

“One of these days I’ll fight someone who can take my shots. It might be Latimore, but if it happens, Je serai prêt pour cela. As for me taking a shot, I’ve been rocked in sparring but not in a live fight.

 

“Hurting my right hand in my last fight was a real blessing. I knew I always had power in it but now I have speed and accuracy to go along with it. My hand hasn’t given me any problems at all in training. So I don’t think about it. If I hurt it again, I’ll just deal with it and fight on.’’

Freddie Roach, Morrison’s Trainer

“I was supposed to be in the Philippines, but I’m very close with Manny Pacquiao and I told him, ‘Listen, Manny, I’m going to be a week late because I have a big fight with Trey coming up,’ and he said, ‘I’ll see you in a week. Get the win.’

“We are a 100 pour cent prêt. We have great sparring partners. We’ve done great work and I know he’s coming from a broken hand and he hasn’t fought in a while, but his strengthening and conditioning is going really well. This is going to be a great fight and I expect him to be at his best. [Looking at Ed Latimore] You are going to feel his power.

“Trey has very good power and breaking his hand helped him. We got to develop both hands and now he has knockout power in both hands.

“Ed Latimore is a very difficult opponent, but I think Trey will beat him.’

ED LATIMORE

“My whole goal is to be totally calm, relaxed and in control. It’s not a physical or mental thing.

 

“I feel I’ve come a long way and I’m improving all the time. There were times when I was overthinking in the ring, but no more. I work on technique each and every day; my work ethic is impeccable.

 

“I’ve become such a better student of boxing. When I first started watching, I thought it was boring. Then I learned how to watch, and began to notice the subtle things going on. I now know what I’m looking at when I watch films and I see things totally different than I did before. Now I know what to do with what I learn.

 

“I may be small for a heavyweight but I’m never going to be one of those big guys so I do not put a lot of emphasis on size. Si vous pouvez combattre, vous pouvez combattre. I work on developing skills. Punching power comes from technique and repetition, not always from size.

 

“I’m looking forward to a good fight. I have to stay composed. Morrison likes to come right out at you but I’m not planning to just let him come at me like he did his other opponents. I have something I plan to do that will give him something to think about.

 

“Fighting him is huge for me. His name means a lot. He’s the toughest guy I’ve fought. But I don’t think about my emotions and fighting in his hometown. We knew what we were getting into and there’s nothing we can do about it. There are things that are beyond your control.

 

“I’m still in school, majoring in physics, but I took a semester off. Puis, this opportunity came along. No way I could do both right now. I enjoy how far I’ve come in boxing. I think the hard work is paying off.

 

“I’m confident I’ll win Vendredi. It’s going to be a great.’’

IVAN GOLUB

“I’ve been working mainly on my inside game and setting down on my punches lately. I know Stevenson is a good boxer, a slick guy who knows what do to. I have to try and stay patient, work the jab, work the body and put on pressure.

 

“In the amateurs it was more about points. Winning was OK with points but in the U.S. you need more than that.

 

“My mindset going into every fight is on going the distance. I’m looking forward to fighting Stevenson. Besides his boxing ability, he takes a good shot.

 

“This will be a real test for me, my toughest test. I’m a natural 160 but can make welterweight easily. It’s been a good camp for me.’’

 

JAMES STEVENSON

“I think my opponent is probably taking me lightly. But he’s going to see a different me. I’m looking at this as a must-win, can-win fight. The birth of my daughter recently totally woke me up. It made me realize it was time to straighten up, stop running the streets and totally focus on my job. I have to take care of her. The added responsibility made me change my ways.

 

“So this training camp has been totally different than any I’ve had before. I’m really prepared. I didn’t come here to run, Je viens de gagner. I’m certainly not here to be anyone’s opponent.

 

“It’s been crazy in my hometown. The whole city of Baltimore is behind me, and that is very exciting. Vendrediis the most important fight ever for me and I am looking forward to it.

 

“I’m confident I can be the first to defeat Golub.’’

GORDON HALL, Senior Vice President of Production, Sports Showtime & Producteur exécutif,ShoBox: La Nouvelle Génération

"Demain night we have eight fighters with a total combined record of 114-3-1. We have undefeated fighters facing each other. Nous avions 151 fighters fight on ShoBox, and lose that 0. Demain nuit, on the second matchup of the night, we have two undefeated heavyweights. Trey Lippe Morrison’s father may have been Tommy, but we are not here because he’s Tommy’s son. We are here because we believe that Trey Lippe Morrison can fight and he’s taking a big step up in taking on Ed Latimore. It’s a big fight for both fighters and I credit them for taking the matchup.

 

“Ivan Golub had 300 combats amateurs. He’s an accomplished fighter, we had him once before on ShoBox and he’s taking on James Stevenson, a veteran fighter, who’s not coming here to lose.

 

“Ivan Baranchyk, the adopted son of Buffalo Run Casino here in Miami. He’s one of the fighters you want to pay to see. He’s all action. His skill level is A-plus and Wang Zhimin knows that and he’s not afraid.

 

“The main event, Rod Kalajdzic vs. Travis Peterkin is the one to watch out for. Kalajdzic loss on his record against Marcus Browne is debatable to those who saw the fight. Travis Peterkin is undefeated, so for me this is a fight of two undefeated fighters in the light heavyweight division, which has Adonis Stevenson, Andre Ward, Sergey Kovalev. It’s a hot division and looking for new blood and hopefully we’ll see it heredemain nuit. "

La Nouvelle Génération: Lippe-Morrison ready for ShoBox debut

Laisser un commentaire

 

Miami, D'ACCORD (Septembre 22, 2016) – As the son of popular former heavyweight champion Tommy Morrison, Trey Lippe-Morrison’s name alone generates attention.

 

A quick glance at the Oklahoman’s record shows that all 11 of his victories came by knockout, 10 inside of two rounds. Those who dug deeper into Lippe-Morrison’s career will see that he’s trained by legendary Freddie Roach at Wildcard Boxing Club in Los Angeles, COMME. On the contrary, his critics note that his name alone generated the buzz rather than his knockouts and many second generation boxers didn’t meet expectations.

 

Vendredi evening at the Buffalo Run Casino, Lippe-Morrison looks to make his TV debut a successful one when he battles fellow unbeaten Ed “Black Magic” Latimore. The bout opens a quadrupleheader on Shobox: The New Generation and is scheduled for 6 tours. Latimore, 13-0 (7 KO), owns amateur wins over former heavyweight champion Charles Martin and 2012 US Olympian Dominic Breazeale. The Pittsburgh, PA native will be Lippe-Morrison’s toughest test to date and he believes the heavy interest in this fight will only elevate his career when he emerges victorious.

 

“This is a difficult fight for Trey,»A déclaré Tony Holden, Lippe-Morrison’s promoter. “Latimore is undefeated and had a good amateur background. He and his team believe this fight will opens doors for him. The interest in this fight is extremely high not just because of whom Trey is but also since there are two unbeaten American heavyweight squaring off early in their careers. The winner is definitely worthy of being considered a top up and coming heavyweight.”

 

Lippe-Morrison is a member of Holden Productions’ “Four State Franchise” and fought 9 de son 11 fights at the Buffalo Run Casino, a venue he’s helped sell out multiple times. With the hometown advantage and flawless start to his pro career, Lippe-Morrison knows there will be pressure on him but believes he’s ready to handle it.

 

“There is a little bit of added pressure,” the 26-year-old said of fighting on TV. “There are of course the people that want to see me on the same level at my father but some of it is brought on by me. My team and I believe I’m ready for this. I’ve been getting a lot better and learning every day under Freddie Roach. Freddie says I’m prepared for the step up and he has full confidence in me. Now I’ve got to go out and perform.”

 

The quadrupleheader airs live on Showtime at 10 PM ET and also features Ivan “The Volk” Golub against James “Keep em’ Sleepin” Stevenson, Ivan “The Beast” Baranchyk vs Zhimin Wang and Radivoje “Hot Rod” Kalajdzic taking on “Notorious” Travis Peterkin.

 

Tickets are sold out and this excellent evening of boxing is promoted by DiBella Entertainment and Holden Productions in association with Fight Promotions Inc. and Roc Nation Sports.
