ZAVRŠNE citati:

TARAS ŠELESTJUK

 

“Herrera is a good fighter, a tough fighter. I know he has defeated some good fighters like Mike Jones, who was a top fighter who’d been off a couple years. But I’m 100 posto spreman. I expect a very tough and exciting fight but I expect to be much stronger and smarter.

 

“I’m excited for all the attention this fight and I are getting. I’ve always known that fans in America have known me but maybe now more than before. I think in the next year, I can become even more well-known.

 

“I’ve been working on strength and becoming more powerful. I think my boxing skills are already good, but my speed and power are better than before. I feel in sparring that I’m punching harder.

 

“I like to work the body. I like the fact you land enough of them early, they take a toll late. That’s one thing good about fighting as a pro. I feel good about my career; I hope to be fighting some of the best fighters in the division within a year.

 

“I’m sure Herrera will probably try and come at me; there’s no chance he can beat me at boxing. I like guys who come forward. They are good for me because I can counter and move side to side. And I’m ready to fight on the inside if necessary.

 

“I know I can improve on my last ShoBox borba. I made it closer than it should have been. If we had it over again I think I maybe stop him just because of what we’re been working on in the gym.

 

“Sparring with Shane Mosley has been huge for me. He’s such a great fighter. When I was younger, I’d watch his fights. Now we spar. He’s older but still very good. He knows all the tricks and gives me a lot of advice that helps me in and out of the ring. Everything he’s said to me, I’ve tried to apply.”

 

JIMMY HERRERA:

“I’ve been working a full two months for this fight so I’m ready. This is going to be a very good test for both of us, a great fight. He’s a good European boxer, another unbeaten for me. But I don’t feel like I’m coming in as the underdog at all. He’s got his strengths, I’ve got my strengths.

 

“There has to be a purpose for every punch. Each has to count. If he opens up and makes a mistake, I have to take advantage. I need to get him out of his rhythm early, force him out of his comfort zone and make him fight my fight.

 

“I’ll be the aggressor. But I’d love if he was the aggressor. I just think, iako, knowing him, he’s going to try to box and win the rounds that way. I work all the time coming forward and that’s what I’ll do sutra.

 

“A kid from Chicago, like me, it’s hard to get anywhere in boxing without connections, so finally after fighting so long without a manager, I signed with Cameron Dunkin. I always knew I could be a good boxer, but never figured I’d be a boxer. But look at me know, I’m fighting on SHOWTIME and this fight couldn’t be coming along at a better time.”

 

CONSTANTIN BEJENARU:

“I feel your amateur career gives you a good foundation, like a beginner, but once you turn pro it’s a total different game. It doesn’t matter who has more experience as an amateur. As professionals, we all have to do our jobs here.

 

“I don’t know Bujaj, but I saw his fight with Junior Wright so I know he is tough.

 

“I feel this is a big step for me. On je 16-0, a good fighter who can punch or box, and this is for a belt. This a good fight for both of us.

“I work hard for every fight and this was no exception. We know we have to pay attention to detail. This is a dangerous guy but I am very confident.

 

“I definitely don’t expect an easy fight. I have to press the action. I need to make him as uncomfortable as I can.

 

“I don’t have a lot of pro knockouts but boxing isn’t just about power. Boxing is intelligence and mental; it’s not just a street fight for me.

 

“This is my second fight on ShoBox. I’m so happy to be back again after that last win over Zubov. The goal is to keep busy, come back early next year and then sometime by next year be ready to fight for a major title of some type.’’

 

STEVE BUJAJ:

 

“I’m looking forward to this fight, my first on network TV, to see where I’m at. Onako kako se osjećam, I’ve got everything to win, everything to lose. This either pushes me to the next level, or I stay where I’m at.

 

“I’m ready for any kind of fight. I’m a versatile fighter and I will have the height advantage.

 

“I feel ready now for the bigger fights, the additional exposure on SHOWTIME, the ratings, the titles, sve to. But I definitely will be even more after Petak.

 

“I don’t feel this is going 10 kola. I feel I’ll break him down and eventually stop him. I feel I’ve got the skills and definitely the heart. I’m healthy and ready to go.

 

“I saw his last fight on ShoBox, and thought it was pretty decent. He’s pretty short for a cruiserweight. Although we’re both from New York, I’d never heard of him before.

 

“Camp went awesome with lots of sparring. In Las Vegas. I trained with Mayweather fighters like Ronald Gavril, Badou Jack and Caleb Plant. It’s been four years since I’ve fought a left-hander but I do not consider it factor.’’

 

VITOR JONES FREITAS:

“I thank God and both my uncles for helping me get to where I am, for teaching me and for guiding me in every step of my life and in boxing. Without their influence and what they’ve done for me since I was 11, I feel I’d be dead today.

 

“I’m very excited about this fight and the opportunity to fight better guys. This for me is all about taking advantage of the opportunity.

 

“I’m getting more and more experience. My goal is to work hard and, like my Uncle Acelino, make good fights and become a world champion“

 

“We’ve studied Mendez’ fighting style and have a lot of respect for his trainer, Joel Diaz. I know Mendez is very strong and comes forward. I don’t know if he likes it when his opponents attack from the sides but I’m ready to fight him on the sides, head-on and toe-to-toe.”

 

MANUEL MENDEZ:

 

“This is my ninth fight with Joel and we know each other very well. Through the bad and good, he’s been there for me.

 

“I’m sure Freitas has confidence in his ability but like any other undefeated fighter he does well until he hits the wall, which is what Joel wants me to make him do. He wants me to punish him, take my time.

 

“I feel have I have natural power, can take a punch and have heart. Hit me as much as you want, but watch out once I connect and turn things around. My goal always is to break them down, starting with the body.

 

“I may not have the pedigree of some of these guys, but I’m learning defense, how to pace myself, staying poised and most importantly, just how to fight. The more experience, the more mature you become.

 

"Sutra I just want to be me and listen to Joel in the corner. I wouldn’t want to be standing in from of me. If he wants to stand and bang, učinimo to. I guarantee he’s the one going back after the first few moments.”

CORONA, Kalif. (Studeni. 2, 2016) — Undefeated ultra-confident cruiserweight Steve “Nadčovjek” Bujaj (16-0-1, 11 Kos), of Westchester, NY, chimes in before his important 10-round bout with fellow unbeaten Konstantin Bejenaru (11-0, 3 Kos, 0-1-1 in the World Series of Boxing), Brooklyn, NY, in the middle match of a ShoBox: The New Generation tripleheader this Petak, Studeni. 4, from the Omega Products Event Center in Corona, Kalif.
Bujaj (izražen “Boo-ha”), 26, has won four in a row, uključujući njegova posljednja dva nokautom, since boxing a split 10-round draw in a slugfest with then-undefeated three-time Chicago Golden Gloves champion Junior Wright (10-0) u svibnju 2014. A two-time New York Golden Gloves champion, Bujah, who’ll be fighting on ShoBox the first time, is coming off a first-round TKO over previously undefeated Sergio Ramirez (11-0) na Lipanj 11

Bejenaru (izražen “bay-zhin-nah-ROO”) is making his second ShoBox start. In his debut last Travanj 15, the native of Ungheni, Moldavija, scored a unanimous eight-round decision over previously unbeaten Alexey Zubov (10-0), bivši ruski amaterski prvak i sedmerostruki europski amaterski prvak. Southpaw Bejenaru boxed on the Romanian national team for 10 godine i bio je devetostruki državni prvak.

Here is What Bujaj said:

What do you know about Bejenaru and what are your thoughts going in?

I know he’s undefeated, 11-0 and a lefty, 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 u petak.”

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? Koje su vaše prednosti?

My best advantage is my experience. I’ve fought 10 kola prije. 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 aboutand that is being one of the top guys in the cruiserweight division.

Your opinion on the cruiserweight division?

The cruiserweight division is a good division with a lot of good fighters. I feel like it will get more exposure in the future because there are so many talented fighters and good fights that can happen. I’m looking forward to being a part some of the big fights and making some noise.

What would a win on ShoBox mean to you?

A win on SHOWTIME would be really huge, but mostly it would keep me going.

Are they making a mistake fighting you?

I don’t think he made a mistake, but I refuse to lose this fight. I’m gonna give it my all. He’s not on my level and I’m gonna prove it. I’m gonna fight my ass off.

On his slugfest with former world title challenger Wright?
I was winning the fight but I broke my jaw in the fourth round. I had a bad mouthpiece, a cheap one. I never knew mouthpieces needed to be fitted. The surgeon told me if I’d had a pro mouthpiece, I wouldn’t have had a problem.
I still believe anybody else would have quit in that fight. I was in a lot of pain, I couldn’t close my mouth because the jaw was broke, I was spitting out blood. But I hung in there despite the jaw.

I had him out on his feet in the last half-minute or so but the referee stopped the fight to give him time to tape up one of the laces on his glove. That gave him time to recover. If the ref hadn’t stopped it when he did, I feel I would have knocked him out.

On his career?

I had to work hard for my career. I don’t have a padded record. I do not have it as easy as most in their career. I don’t have a big-time promoter, and I’m not pampered. I’ve fought tough guys throughout my career but I’ve learned a lot and have no regrets. But I feel it’s time for me to step up. After I win Petak na ShoBox, a lot of doors should start opening up me.
New Nickname?

I’ve been known as ‘Superman’my whole career but I’m thinking of changing it toSteel.The Wright fight proved a lot of me, and I learned a lot. Nisam otkaz. I’m very tough and strong-minded, made of ‘steel.'
Bujaj vs. Bejenaru is scheduled for 10 rounds and will be part of a ShoBox: The New Generation tripleheader live on SHOWTIME at 10:30 poslije podne. I/PT (odgođeno na Zapadnoj obali).

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, Kalif. and got his take on ovaj petak ShoBox fight.

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

“To je velika prilika. 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, head movement, rad nogu; 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: Nova generacija Tripleheader, Ovaj petak, Studeni. 4, Live on SHOWTIME®

NEW YORK (Studeni. 1, 2016) – Jimmy “Istina” 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 Petak, Studeni. 4, in the 10-round welterweight main event on ShoBox: Nova generacijaživjeti SHOWTIME® (10:30 poslije podne. I/PT, odgođeno na Zapadnoj obali) na Omega Products Event Center u Kruna, Kalif.

The 5-foot-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 u veljači 2012. One of those victories was an upset seventh-round TKO over one-time highly ranked welterweight and world title challenger Mikrofon “Mitraljez” 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&A:

What are your thoughts going into your ShoBox debut?
“Ja sam uvijek za izazov, 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 newI’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. Onda, 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. Nisam nervozan na sve. The cameras, the bright lights, pošteno, 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?
“Da, definitivno, this is my biggest fightjust for all the doors a win would open for me, all the possibilities. Nema pritisak na mene. 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.

Are they making a mistake fighting you??
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 krajevi. Bio je 2012 Olympic Bronze Medalist with a boatload of amateur accomplishments. How significant is the experience of fighting amateur?
“Lično, meni, 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 Konstantin Bejenaru (11-0, 4 Kos, 0-1-1 u World Series of Boxing), od Catskill, NY. putem Moldavije, a Steve “Nadčovjek” Bujaj (16-0-1, 11 Kos), New York, will collide in a 10-rounder for the vacant WBC International WBC Continental Americas titles in the co-feature.

Shelestyuk je bio član hvaljenog 2012 Ukrajinska olimpijska reprezentacija koja je uključivala osvajača zlatne medalje u perolakoj kategoriji Vasyl Lomachenko i osvajač zlatne medalje u teškoj kategoriji Oleksandr Usyk. 30-godišnjak smatra da mu je još oko godinu dana do natjecanja s najboljima 147 funti i da prvo mora proći Herreru. Ali Mosley tvrdi da ga Shelestyuk podsjeća na većeg Lomachencka i vjeruje da je već spreman za vrhunska imena u poluteškoj kategoriji.

 

Herrera (15-3-1, 8 Kos), Chicago, Ilinois, je pobijedio neporažene izglede u četiri od posljednjih devet borbi i jest 8-1-1 sveukupno od srpnja 2012.

 

Shelestyuk, Brown i Mosley razgovarali su za SHOWTIME nakon nedavnog treninga. Evo što su rekli:

 

TARAS ŠELESTJUK:

Koje su vaše misli idući u borbu?
"Jako sam uzbuđen. Prošlo je šest mjeseci od moje posljednje borbe. Ovo je moja prva naslovna borba, a nadam se ne i posljednja.

 

“Puno sam radio u svom trening kampu sa svojim trenerom Ericom Brownom, i sa svojim kondicijskim trenerom. Moj protivnik je težak borac. Imao je nekoliko dobrih borbi s tipovima poput Mikea Jonesa, Egidijus Kavaliauskas i još par velikih momaka. On se voli boriti i mislim da će to biti dobra borba i dobar meč za naše stilove.”

 

Sada ste rangirani borac; jeste li zadovoljni tempom svog napredovanja?

"Zadovoljan sam svojim napretkom, ali naravno da se želim boriti s većim imenima u borbama za prvenstvo i sve to. Znam da će uskoro doći. Uživam u svom načinu treniranja i razvijanju svojih vještina, ali ako vidiš svoj san, učini sve da ga ostvariš i ne dopusti da ti išta stane na put.''

 

Što mislite o poluteškoj kategoriji?

“To je jako dobra podjela jer ima puno boraca, ali neki se ne žele međusobno boriti (vrlo često). Predstoji nekoliko vrlo dobrih prvenstvenih borbi i nadam se da ću ja biti jedan od njih.”

 

Zašto ste se odlučili preseliti u južnu Kaliforniju??

"Dobro, [smijeh] uglavnom zato što ako je odlično vrijeme, ali ovo je također dobro područje s puno dobrih boraca i puno dobrih trenera također. Kad sam se prvi put doselio ovamo, moj me menadžer pozvao van i pokazao mi okolinu te sam odmah otišao u teretanu. Trenirao sam s Ruslanom Provodnikovim i imao sam sparing s njim prije borbe koju je imao i sljedeće što znate, dva tjedna kasnije Imao sam svoj profesionalni debi i evo me sada, tri i pol godine kasnije.''

 

Postoji li pritisak na vas kada se borite?

“Ne bih rekao da osjećam pritisak jer me svi oko mene podržavaju, oni vjeruju u mene i ja vjerujem u njih. Moj tim vjeruje u mene, a ja njima. Samo želim raditi ono što radim u ringu, bolje. Želim učiniti bolje za sebe, za moju obitelj i za moje prijatelje.''

 

Pratite li svoje olimpijske kolege?

“Gledam borbe ukrajinskog olimpijskog tima, i uživam kad drugi dečki pobjeđuju. Podržavamo jedni druge i javljamo se. Dobro je da ima više ukrajinskih boraca koji su sada prvaci. Slijedeće godine, Nadam se da ću biti jedan od njih.”

 

Kakav je bio osjećaj ići 10 kola za prvi put?

“Prošle godine u studenom imao sam svoju prvu borbu od 10 rundi ShoBox, Borio sam se s jakim momkom i pružio mi je jako dobru borbu. otišao sam 10 krugova i osjećao sam se kao da mogu ići još dva. spreman sam za 10, za 12, nije važno. osjećam se mnogo bolje, mnogo moćniji. Imam veću brzinu nego u prošloj borbi, isto."

 

Kako si završio na treningu s Ericom?

“Trenirao sam s Freddiejem Roachom oko dvije i pol godine kada sam upoznao Erica u Wild Card West Gymu.. Tamo sam počeo sparingirati s nekim njegovim momcima. Nakon moje borbe s Rodriguezom na ESPN-u u 2015 Zamolio sam Erica da me trenira i počeli smo raditi. Sada kada sam vodio dvije borbe s njim kao mojim trenerom, Osjećam da su moje boksačke vještine bolje, Osjećam se snažnije i uživam trenirati u njegovoj teretani.

 

“Svi treneri nam pomažu i daju nam savjete. Na dane kada sparingujem sa Shaneom Mosleyem, on stane i da mi savjet. Puno učim od njega, biti legenda borbe kakav on jest. Odrastao sam gledajući ga kako se tuče kao klinac i poštovao sam ono što me može naučiti. Onda sljedeći put probam ono čemu me je naučio i upalit će.”

 

Boks ti je u krvi; tvoj tata i brat su boksali. Kad si bio mlađi, jesi li mislio da ćeš postati borac?

"Ne, ali otac me gurao u mnoge sportove. Bavio sam se gimnastikom, nogomet pet godina, i igrao šah. Tukao sam se kao dijete, ali uvijek je bilo prijateljski. Uvijek sam uživao u aspektu treninga. Trenirajući nogomet ponekad bismo otac i ja trčali bosi po snijegu i uživao sam u tome. Tako, kao dijete, kad sam prvi put kročio u boksačku dvoranu, bilo je tako zabavno.''

Tvoja ShoBox borba pada na rođendan tvog oca; imaš li poseban poklon na umu za njega?

“To me tjera da mu izborim pobjedu. Na njegov dan, on će sjediti i gledati moju borbu pa želim izboriti tu pobjedu za njega, za moju obitelj i za Ukrajinu.''

 

ERIC BROWN, Shelestyukov trener

Kakav je kamp imao Taras imao je i što vidite da se događa u petak?

“Vidim puno napretka u Tarasu. Kad smo tek počeli raditi zajedno, jedna od stvari bila je ta da je Taras uvijek imao sjajne boksačke sposobnosti, ali nije bio sjajan finišer. Ne znam je li bio sramežljiv od oružja ili što je to bilo, ali imao je tendenciju koristiti svoj talent da dovede ljude u nevolju, ali onda bi se povukao i pustio ih da se vrate u borbu. Tako, ono na čemu puno više radimo jest da ga natjeramo da postane bolji finišer i da prepozna kada ima svog čovjeka u nevolji i kako iskoristiti trenutak, a da pritom ne bude nepromišljen. Brzo napreduje.

 

“Čini se da mnogi momci iz Ukrajine imaju slične tendencije jer imaju duge amaterske karijere i počinju preuzimati loše navike koje moramo ispraviti. Taras je imao malo toga u sebi, ali čini se da se vrlo dobro prilagođava. On je izuzetno vrijedan radnik i često mu morate govoriti da uspori, nikad mu ne moraš reći da učini više.”

 

Gdje ga vidite u karijeri velteraša?

“To je sjajna podjela. Rekao bih da je Keith Thurman sada bez sumnje na vrhu, ali ima i dobrih boraca poput Shawna Portera. Ako se Mayweather odlučio vratiti, Mislim da bi opet bio svuda po ovoj diviziji. Canelo je dobar super velteraš, ali previše je zauzet brigom o utezima za ulov. Nedvojbeno za drugu godinu, Mislim da će Taras biti tu s najboljima od njih. Ima mnogo talenta, velika svestranost, velika brzina ruke i noge i dobar je udarac. Nije razoran nokauter, ali ipak odličan s obje ruke.''

 

SHANE MOSLEY, Bivši svjetski prvak

Kako je bilo raditi s Tarasom i kako ste se uključili u njegov trening?

“Sparingirao sam s Tarasom i izgleda stvarno oštro. Sparingujem s njim već oko četiri ili pet mjeseci prilično konstantno jer mnogi dečki neće sparingovati s njim. Dečki su zabrinuti da će zbog njega ispasti loše; toliko je tehnički i britak da ne žele sparirati s njim. Tako, Često idem tamo s njim. Teško je natjerati ljude da spariraju s njim.''

 

Gdje ga vidite u poluteškoj kategoriji?

“On je na tom šampionskom putu, toj razini, ali mislim da kad jednom stigne, dobit će više sparing partnera i bit će još bolji. On je stvarno svjetski prvak, borac svjetske klase. Podsjeća me na većeg Lomachenka, sparing s njim je jednostavno takav. Vidim ga kao najboljeg prvaka u poluteškoj kategoriji. Način na koji baca svoje kombinacije, on je pametan boksač koji jako naporno vježba. U teretani je svaki dan, da li sparinguje ili ne, ima li za odraditi neki trening ili ne. Čak će biti ovdje sam, samo će se kretati i biti oštar. Njegova radna etika je stvarno, stvarno jaka.

 

Kako ti se sviđa raditi s Tarasom?

“Sviđa mi se Taras i uživam raditi s njim. Iznimno je posvećen i to je teško pronaći. Sviđa mi se Tarasova radna etika, njegovu osobnost, kako se bavi boksom. Voli ovaj sport i želi biti najbolji. Ne voli gubiti, čak i u sparingu. Impresioniran sam njime. Kad sam prvi put sparirao s njim, bio sam jako impresioniran njegovim zamahom, njegova moć, njegova točnost prstena, njegov IQ boksa. Bio sam impresioniran koliko je marljivo radio i njegovom voljom za učenje.''

 

Smatrate li da je neobično da su dečki posvećeni kao Taras u ovom trenutku svoje karijere?

“Neobično je u smislu da puno boraca želi učiti od vrhunskih momaka, ali čini mi se da s Tarasom nije lažno. On doista želi učiti o boksu kako bi mogao biti najbolji. Želi postati svjetski prvak i radi na tome da postane jedan od najboljih. Da Tarasa danas stavite u ring s bilo kojim velikim imenom, rekao bih da bi odnio pobjedu. Ima zdrav razum. Ima mentalitet da bude na vrhu. On ozbiljno želi postati svjetski prvak, o tome da sam vrhunski borac. Ozbiljan je u pobjedi i ići će do kraja. Ako ovog tipa suprotstavite Thurmanu, Išao bih s njim. Mislim da trenutno pobjeđuje Thurmana.''

“Kao čovjek koji boksuje već gotovo 22 godina, Osjećam se izuzetno zahvalno što sam dobio ovu priliku. U mojoj prethodnoj ShoBox borba, Bio sam označen kao undersag. Oni koji su sumnjali u mene brzo su promijenili mišljenje kad su me vidjeli kako se borim, a još više jednom kad mi je sudac podigao ruku u pobjedi. ''

 

Bujaj (izgovara se "Boo-ha") rođen je u Kelmendu, Albanija, ali premješten u Bronx, New York u ranoj dobi.

Znam da je moj protivnik neporažen i ne mogu ga previdjeti. Onako kako se osjećam, U svojoj sam igri 'A'. Trenirao sam u Las Vegasu, a sada sam se vratio u New York sa Sharifom Younanom i spreman sam učiniti sve što mogu kako bih pobijedio u ovoj borbi.

 

“Ovo je izloženost i prilika koju sam čekao. Samo želim pokupiti ove WBC naslove za koje se borimo i biti podvrgnut ljestvici. Jednom kad uzmem ove pojaseve, Bit ću u vrhu 10 i sve je moguće. ''

MIAMI, Oklahoma. (Sedam. 24, 2016) – On a night when undefeated heavyweight Trey Lippe Morrison won his television debut and Ivan "The Beast" Baranchyk a Ivan "The Volk" Golub ostali neporaženi, light heavyweight Radivoje “Hot Rod” Kalajdzic regained his winning ways by registering a fifth-round knockout over previously unbeaten Travis Peterkin u glavnom slučaju ShoBox: Nova generacija quadrupleheader živjeti SHOWTIME Petak iz Buffalo Run Kasino u Miamiju, Oklahoma.

 

Izrada njegov ShoBox debut and first start since suffering his lone defeat on a disputed decision to Marcus Browne, a motivated Kalajdzic (22-1, 15 Kos) Sv. Petersburg, Florida, dropped Peterkin (16-1-1, 7 Kos), of the Brownsville section of Brooklyn, NY, two times in the fifth before the fight was stopped at 1:32.

 

Other televised results: Baranchyk (12-0, 10 Kos), Brooklyn, NY, took a 10-round unanimous decision over Wang Zhimin (7-1, 3 Kos, 7-1 WSB), of Nutley, NJ. by way of Ningbo, Kina, u ShoBox co-obilježje; immensely popular local favorite and son of the late former world heavyweight champion, Tommy “The Duke” Morrison, teška kategorija Trey Lippe Morrison (12-0, 12 Kos) demolished previously unbeaten Ed Latimore (13-1, 7 Kos), u Pittsburghu, Pa., bodovanja 2:19, first-round TKO; and Ukrainian welterweight Golub (13-0, 11 Kos, 5-0 WSB), Brooklyn, registered a third-round knockout over James Stevenson(23-3, 16 Kos), Baltimore, Md.

 

Kalajdzic overwhelmed Peterkin with consistent aggression, superior fighting spirit and better power. Sletio 45 posto svojih energetskih kadrova, uključujući 60 percent in the final round. Više, he led 37-7 u tijelu povezuje.

 

“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 stručnjak analitičar Steve Farhood said afterward. “He was exposed večeras, 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, I knew he wasn’t going to last,’’ Kalajdzic said. “We have been working on staying patient and finding that range and it showed večeras.

 

“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), osvojili ocjenama od 100-90 dva puta i 99-91. Nije bilo nokdauna.

 

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. Ovo je bio moj prvi put 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 večeras.''

 

Wang, who gave his best and never allowed Baranchyk to relax, rekla, “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. Nekoliko trenutaka kasnije, 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, to je sigurno. 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,'', Rekao je Farhood. “Let’s let Freddie Roach to do a little bit more of work with him. He had a tremendous pressure on him večeras, but he did fantastically and he responded very well. He made a big step up in class večeras 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,"Rekao Farhood. “We keep thinking of him as a boxer but he showed tremendous power večeras. He knocked out a very sturdy opponent in Stevenson and Baranchyk will benefit tremendously by going 10 kola. 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 početak. “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.’’

Below is what the fighters had to say prior to Četvrtak vaganju:

 

Radivoje Kalajdžića

“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. Onda, 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.

 

"U petak 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 Petak 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, previše, 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, ali 175 is fine. Ja sam spreman.

 

“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, previše.

 

“’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. Petak should be an exciting night for everybody.

 

“My last two fights have ended quickly but I always train and plan to go 10 kola. 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, pa ćemo vidjeti.

 

“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 u petak.''

 

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 [Kalifornija] 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: prsten generalship, rad nogu, 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, I’ll be ready for it. 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 posto spreman. 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. If you can fight, you can fight. 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. Onda, 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 Petak. 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, Dolazim osvojiti. 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. Petakis 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, Showtime Sport & Izvršni producent,ShoBox: Nova generacija

"Sutra night we have eight fighters with a total combined record of 114-3-1. We have undefeated fighters facing each other. Imali smo 151 fighters fight on ShoBox, and lose that 0. Sutra noć, 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 amaterske borbe. 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, Sergej Kovalev. It’s a hot division and looking for new blood and hopefully we’ll see it heresutra noć. "

Nova generacija: Lippe-Morrison ready for ShoBox debut

 

Miami, OK (Rujan 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, KAO ŠTO. 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.

 

U petak 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 kola. Latimore, 13-0 (7 KO-a), 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,” said 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 njegov 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.
