Burada iştirakçılar demək idi nə:
JACK Badou
“I’m looking forward to another victory. Bu çətin bir mübarizə olacaq, amma hazıram. I’ve been training really hard and I’m ready to get into the ring.
“I’m more focused and determined now than ever to secure what is mine. The fans will have an exciting show to look forward to on Aprel 30. I can guarantee that!
“My daughter being born this morning is extra motivation for me and to continue working hard to provide for my family. I only slept for 2 saat, but I feel brand new.
“I still feel fresh! Təlim-məşq toplanışı yaxşı. Everything is right on schedule. I’m feeling really focused.”
LUCIAN BUTE
“The most important thing for me is to have fun when I train. My confidence level is back at 100 faiz. There’s a great atmosphere here at the gym and I have great chemistry with my trainers. I’ve done quality sparring and starting next week we’ll be reducing the training volume so as to focus more on the level of intensity.
“The pressure won’t be on me because I’ll be on his turf, Vaşinqtonda. He is the favorite because he’s the champion, but I’m confident and I’m able! We looked at some video of him with Howard (Grant). O yaxşı boksçu var, but he’s not exceptional and he makes mistakes. I have experience. This will be my 13th world championship fight. My experience and my speed will make the difference.
“My confidence level wasn’t at 100 percent before I fought James DeGale, but now it’s all back after performing the way I did against him. All the better for me if Badou Jack is already looking ahead to his next fight, is taking me for granted and is underestimating me. I know for my part that I can beat him. He did well in his last bout against George Groves, where he was able to come up with a good right blow that sent him to the canvas. But I’m going there to deliver.
“I’ve now been training for a year with Howard Grant, who already knows me well and pushes me to go beyond my limits. We’ve developed a trusting relationship and I feel very comfortable working alongside him. It’s hard to put into words! It’s true, Mən 36 dək təvəllüd, but I still have some good years ahead of me in professional boxing. For Éric Lucas, who had this belt for several years, I will bring back the title to the province of Quebec.”
SHARIF BOGERE
“Training camp has been going tremendously well. I’m excited to get back in action on Aprel 30. it’s going to be a good show. Two world titles on the line, that’s something big.
“I want people to know who Lion ki,. People will know that Lion is here to stay. I will put on a great show as I always do.
“I want to put on a good show so the fans will never forget about my presence in this division. Being born in Uganda, it’s important for me to make my homeland proud.”
LATONDRIA JONES
“Təlim-məşq toplanışı də davam edir, I am looking forward to going into the fight real strong, dominating and come out with a win. It’s important that I continue to stay mentally focused and physically ready.
“I don’t really look too much into to my opponents, until I’m getting ready for that belt. As far as I know, this is her pro debut. I’m going to show her what this is all about, and give her that pro life.
“I was born in D.C. belə, I look forward to going back and fighting at the Armory to give my hometown fans what they want to see. They came to see a show, and I plan on delivering. I look forward to getting better and coming out on top. I’m working hard and taking it day-by-day. I thank God for being in this position that I’m in.”

The bout was scored 96-94 Potapov and 95-95 iki dəfə.

 

Potapov and Young were facing their toughest opponents in each other. Potapov (14-0-1, 6 Kos) controlled the pace early with his jab and was the more active fighter, throwing nearly double the punches that Young threw. Young picked up steam and gained confidence in the middle rounds and was at his best when he pressed the action and let his hands go. But the Russian Potapov, who had gone at least 10 rounds in his last six fights, was clearly more comfortable as the fight progressed.

 

After slowing in the seventh and eighth, Gənc (14-0-3, 6 Kos) found another gear in an impressive ninth, winning the penultimate round on all the judges’ scorecards. Lakin, even after urgent instructions from his corner, Young couldn’t carry the momentum into the 10ci and lost the final round on all three scorecards.

 

“I am very unhappy with the decision. For every time he hit me, I hit him twice,” said Potapov, kim atdı 315 jabs compared to just 113 for Young. “I was the much busier fighter. I don’t know what fight the judges were watching. At the very most I lost four rounds.

 

“I’ve never had a draw before. I feel cheated from a win. I was very happy to be fighting in America but I now feel cheated.”

 

Döyüşdən sonra, St. Louis native Young was disappointed but knew that he needed to throw more punches.

 

“I feel like it was a good fight, but I should have got the decision,” Young said. “I hurt him every time I hit him. I let him be busier than me, but as far as the contact, I feel like I landed the more effective punches. That was my strategy.

 

“I should have come on a bit sooner. That was my plan, but I got a little relaxed in the fight. I came on in the ninth round when my coach told me to get him out of there.

 

“I most definitely want a rematch. I would like to do that again.”

Facing his toughest opponent to date, Menard floored (31-1, 23 Kos) Bernardo for the first time in his career with a series of rights near the end of the second round. The Dominican Bernardo beat the count and finished the round, but he had no answer for Menard’s power. Less than one minute into third, Menard connected with a huge right, knocking Bernardo (21-1, 15 Kos) out before he even hit the canvas.

 

“I made a statement bu axşam. Not many people knew who I was going into this, but they know me now,” said Menard, who landed nearly 50 onun gücü çekim faiz. “My speed, power and footwork were the difference.

 

“I said a prayer for him in the middle of the ring that he goes back to his family healthy.”

 

Bernardo, who was removed from the ring on a stretcher as a precautionary measure, was taken to nearby Oneida Healthcare where he was awake and responsive.

 

Verilişin açılış bout, undefeated cruiserweightConstantin Bejenaru əlli Alexey Zubov the first loss of his career in a convincing eight-round unanimous decision scored 77-74, 78-73 iki dəfə.

 

Save for a flash seventh round knockdown, Bejenaru (11-0, 4 Kos) controlled the fight from the outset. The Moldova native overcame a four-inch height disadvantage, attacking from different angles and controlling the exchanges on the inside and outside. Zubov (10-1, 6 Kos) never got into rhythm and failed to capitalize on his reach advantage against the active and athletic southpaw.

 

“He was a good classical boxer, but he’s too straight up and he couldn’t adjust,” Bejenaru said. “It wasn’t as easy as it looked to beat him. I adjusted my style to do that because I knew it would make him hesitate. I knew if I just constantly attacked him he wouldn’t know what to do.”

 

Zubov and Bernardo are now the 146ci və 147ci boxers to suffer their first pro loss on the prospect developmental series.

Şərh yaz
BROOKLYN, NY (Aprel 12, 2016) – As a kid growing up in Magnitogorsk, Rusiya,cruiserweight Alexey Zubov heard stories about the fabled Kronk Gym and the late legendary trainer Emanuel Steward, but never thought he’d have a chance to join the team. But then one day, the former amateur champion was asked to come to Detroit to spar with Kronk’s Johnathon Banks … and the rest is history.

“I’ve been in Detroit for the last two months and I am so happy; I want to stay here, train here and live here,” said Zubov. “Every Russian fighter knows about Kronk Gym and Emanuel Steward.”
Zubov is currently winding down camp with his trainer and Steward’s nephew Javan “Şəkər” Hill at the resurgent Kronk Gym. “I like Javan’s style,” said Zubov, “and I’ve learned so much about hand speed and footwork and about using intelligence in the ring – how you need to think when you’re in a fight.”
“Alexey is able to learn a lot and absorb boxing knowledge easily,” said Hill. “He barely speaks English and yet he soaks it in. It’s amazing. I brought him in to spar with Banks and when we were training, Alexey just sat on the side and watched. Sonra, he was sparring with Johnathon and I told him to stop. I said ‘listen here. I’m training Jonathon Banks and you’re doing everything I told him to do. What’s wrong with you?’ Then I laughed and said ‘I like that. Keep watching. I’ll teach you everything you want to know.’ “
Hill says this camp with Zubov was a transition for the fighter. “We are moving into the championship level where you train for a specific fighter. A lot of it is strategy and planning. The only thing I worry about is him being too excited. He’s very high-strung and wants to prove things. I have to control him and keep him from getting over-excited. That’s what we’ve been working on. He gets antsy when he’s excited.”
“Training was prefect. Mən 100 hazır faiz,” said Zubov. “I know Bejenaru is a southpaw and he is a short guy with a good record. It’s my first time on SHOWTIME and I am so happy to be showing the world what I can do.”

MIAMI, Okla. (Mart 26, 2016) – On a night of knockouts, unbeaten super lightweight Regis "Rougarou" PROGRAMS (17-0, 14 Kos), Houston, scored his third consecutive dominant victory on ShoBox: New Generation, knocking out Mexico’s Aaron Herrera (21-5-1, 12 Kos) at 2:17 ilk turun Cümə əsas hadisə üzrəSHOWTIME Mayami Buffalo Run Casino, Okla.

 

In scheduled eight-round bouts that all ended early, Ivan "Beast" Baranchyk (10-0, 9 Kos), Brooklyn, N.Y., registered a 21-second, ilk turda nakavt üzərində Nick Givhan (16-1-1, 10 Kos), Kalamazoo, Mich., in a super lightweight scrap, Ukraynalı ağırlıqqaldır Ivan "Volk" Golub (16-0, 10 Kos, 5-0 Ümumdünya Boks Seriyasının), Brooklyn, N.Y., scored a sixth-round TKO over Marlon Aguas (9-1, 6 Kos), Quito, Ekvador, və Justin DeLoach (14-1, 8 Kos), of Augusta, Ga., who is trained by former world champion Paul Williams, registered a fourth-round knockout over undefeated super welterweight and local favorite Dillon “White Lightning” Cook (16-1, 6 Kos).

 

All but Prograis and Baranchyk were making their ShoBox debat. Aşpaz, Aguas and Givhan became the 143rd, 144ci və 145ci boxers to suffer their first pro loss on the prospect developmental series.

 

“I can’t remember ilə 15 il of working ShoBox a show with such emphatic knockouts – and two of them being spectacular knockout of the year candidates,'' Dedi ShoBox ekspert analitik Steve Farhood.

 

PROGRAMS, 5-ayaq-9, 27-year-old originally from New Orleans, was fighting in his second consecutive ShoBox main event and second scheduled 10-rounder. The aggressive-minded southpaw pounded Herrera’s body from the opening bell; five of his six power punches were targeted to the Mexican’s midsection. A left hook to the body downed Herrera, who crumpled to the canvas and wasn’t able to beat the count.

“I was prepared to go 10 dolu fişəng, the last thing I was expecting was a first-round knockout,’’ said Prograis, who was making his 2016 debüt. “I’m making hard fights look easy but they’re really not. It’s all the daily work in the gym all day every day that is paying off for me. Tonight was fun. I’m very satisfied.

“I want all the fighters in my division to know one thing: I’m coming after all of you.’’

“He just got me with a great shot, it was simple as that,’’ said Herrera, who making his second start in the United States. “There’s really not that much that I can say.’’

 

The highly regarded Baranchyk – making his second eight-round start and second in a row on ShoBox – knocked out Givhan with a huge left hand with the first power punch of the fight. He required only two punches to finish the 17-fight veteran. Surprisingly, it wasn’t the quickest professional KO for the Belarus native. Baranchyk owns a three-second KO over Angel Figueroa etibarən 2015.

 

“I’m very happy,’’ Baranchyk said. “I was expecting a much longer fight. I was focused on a full fight. But knockouts are good. I know fans like knockouts.

 

“I’ll take a week off and then go back to the drawing board. I’m looking ahead to fighting again soon and on ShoBox again.’’

 

Givhan was shocked with the result.

 

“I’m good but I am very, very disappointed,” Givhan said. “This is the lowlight of my life. For me to get knocked out by someone I know I can beat is just the worst feeling. And there’s nothing worse than for it to happen on national television.

 

“No one expects 20-second fights. I just got caught, that’s all.”

Golub, a former standout amateur from Ukraine, had to rally from the first knockdown of his career. “This was a little tougher than I expected,'' Dedi. “But it’s all about learning. I had to go through some adversity to win. You don’t know adversity until it hits you in the face.”

Golub was the more active fighter against the awkward Aguas, who was at his best when matters turned ugly. In a bizarre second round, southpaw Golub scored a questionable knockdown as Aguas hit the canvas while clinching and off-balance. Aguas bounced back seconds later to knock down Golub with a short right, sending the Ukrainian to the canvas for the first time in his career.

“I was surprised that I got knocked down, but he caught me off-balance,’’ Golub said. “Overall, I am very happy with my performance.”

Golub resumed control after the second and a series of combinations in the sixth sent a gassed Aguas falling back through the ropes in the closing seconds of the round. Aguas somehow rose to his feet to beat the count, but his trainer quickly waved off the bout when the Ecuadorian returned to the corner.

Aguas said an injury, not fatigue, was the reason his corner stopped the fight at the end of the sixth. “I hurt my right bicep in the fifth round,'' Dedi. “That’s the reason we stopped it. I wasn’t that tired.”

Verilişin açılış döyüşdə, DeLoach made Williams a winner in his training debut. With Williams looking on from his wheelchair in the corner, DeLoach, a winner of four in a row, dropped Cook with a devastating, counter-overhand right at 2:47 of the fourth that sent Cook awkwardly to the canvas in a knockout of the year candidate.

 

“I’m happy with my performance,’’ said DeLoach, who was the more active fighter, atma təxminən 100 more punches over the four rounds. “This was a great experience fighting a guy like this in his backyard. I enjoyed the crowd and their enthusiasm. It motivated me. I got a little lazy in parts of the second and third rounds, but I listened to my corner and picked it up on offense and got my punch count up and going again.

 

“Dillon was a good fighter who moved a lot. I know I have to do better cutting off the ring. He landed with a left a second before I landed that big right. This was a great win for all of us. I’m ready to do this again.’’

 

“Look at me, look at my shirt. It feels like I was sweating worse than when I fought,’’ said Williams, who’s pro career came to a sudden and tragic end when he was paralyzed from the waist down after a motorcycle accident in May 2012. “I am very relieved to get this one out of the way. I’m very happy for Justin and Mr. Pit (Paul’s longtime manager and trainer and DeLoach’s assistant trainer, George Williams)

 

"Mən OK Ben, all things considered,’’ said Cook. “He was a tough guy. I’ve never been knocked out before so I don’t exactly know how to act. I felt I was in the fight until I was caught. It’s disappointing, but this was a great learning experience for me. It can only help me in the long run.’’

 

A taped interview with Williams and ShoBox analyst Steve Farhood aired prior to the bout. In the discussion, Farhood asked the former two-time champ why he chose to return as a trainer for the first time since the 2012 motorcycle accident left him paralyzed.

"Mən son mübarizə bütövlükdə çox fun idi, çünki (Abel) Ramos yalnız gələn saxlanılır. Mən veteran mübarizə edirəm, a different kind of guy tomorrow. He’s tough with the Mexican style so I expect him to be smart and know all the tricks.

 

"Herrera heç bir şey gəlir itirmək, amma Meksika stil mübarizə sevgi. Mən Houston təlim etdik, o Mən əvvəl görməmişəm bir şey gətirməyəcək.

 

"Mən bir hamar solak ola bilər və ya arbede bilər. Mən yalnız mübarizə sevgi, Mən boks başladı nə. Mənim zehniyyət bang və mübarizə edir, zaman ona aşağı gəlir. Mən cansıxıcı almaq basmayın Bəzən, mən bu qədər qarışdırılır belə bir az daha mən hit olacaq və sonra geri gələ bilər. Mən heç bir stil bilərsiniz.

 

"Bu mənim üçüncü mübarizə ShoBox və ikinci əsas hadisə. Mən təzyiq salamlayıram amma bilirəm eyni zamanda mən onu ignore və yalnız zövq və orada əyləncə var.

 

"Zehni, Mən top namizədlərin hər hansı qarşı böyük bir mübarizə üçün hazıram hiss, amma döyüşlərdə o cür də mənim üçün xətti aşağı bir az bilirik. Mən hələ bunu çox iş var; Mən bütün sağ almaq qədər pounding saxlamaq lazımdır.

 

"Mən sabah yaxşı mübarizə səbirsizliklə gözləyirəm. ''

 

AARON HERRERA

 

"Bu, həm də idman gələn, çünki maraqlı mübarizə. Mən onun döyüşlərdə bir neçə görüldü və mən qarşı deyiləm nə etdik. Prograis irəli gəlib bəyənir və mübarizə gəlir kimi görünür, Mən eyni edəcəyik, Mən slugger daha boksçu yəqin ki, daha am baxmayaraq.

 

"Bu iş qayğı haqqında. Mən oldum 12 el əvvəl. I’ve fought some good fighters with good records. Bu Amerikada yalnız mənim ikinci mübarizə, lakin mən ilk bir çox şey öyrəndim və mütləq mənə kömək edəcək. Mən daha çox inam var. Bu, mənim üçün yeni bir təcrübə olacaq.

Oy BARANCHYK

"Bu 100 yüzdə qarşılaşdığı ən yaxşı oğlan. Nick böyük döyüşçü və biz onu düzgün deyil bilərsiniz. Biz bir şey boks ola bilər ki, bilirik. Mən idman zalı iş qoymaq və indi ring mənim iş nə etmək lazımdır.

 

"Mən bir ştamplayıcı deyiləm, Mən gətirmək istəyirəm və mən nakavt gəlirəm.

 

"Mən yalnız deyiləm 23 amma çox ağır iş və mən birlikdə gəlirəm hiss. Mən idman zalı hər zaman alıram. Biz ən çox iş əsas işlərdən biri ring daxilində soyuqqanlılıq edir. Mən daha məskunlaşma və jab çalışıram kimi hiss, lakin hələ də biz iş bir şey deyil.

 

"Siz yalnız getmək və hamı döymək bilməz. Bu asan deyil. Siz bəzən sizin yumruq qurmaq lazımdır. Mən təbii ştamplayıcı olan dəyişmək niyyətində heç edirəm, mənim komanda mənə atəş götürmek üçün çalışır deyil, onlar yalnız mənə aşağı həll etmək istəyirik. ''

 

NICK GIVHAN

"Bu böyük imkandır və mən onu əldə olmaq mübarək hiss, lakin mən il üçün doğru iş etdik şey. Bu mənim karyera bu mərhələdə ehtimal edirəm olduğu hiss. Mən yalnız əminəm üzük mənim iş idarə etmək üçün üzük almaq lazımdır

"Bu mənə üstünlük ştamplayıcı mübarizədə qarşı bir boksçu kimi şekiller. O, ilk jabbing çıxmaq bilər, o toxunub bir dəfə, lakin o incidir ola bilər. Mən istifadə etmək nə var, onun artıq-təcavüzkarlıq.

Dillon Cook Counting Down Days for ShoBox Debut!

Şərh yaz

 

D Cook.jpg

Seneca, MO (Mart 18, 2016) - On Mart 25, junior middleweight prospect Dillon “White Lightning” Cook will find himself in a familiar place but with a new challenge when he battles Justin DeLoach in an eight round bout on ShoBox: The New Generation at the Buffalo Run Casino in Miami, OK.

 

Tickets for the event promoted by DiBella Entertainment and Holden Productions are $45, $55 və $75 and can be purchased by logging onto Buffalorun.com or Stubwire.com.

 

Namağlup 16 professional bouts with six wins by knockout, Cook’s fought five of his last seven matches at the Buffalo Run, winning handily each time. A member of Holden Productions’ “Four State Franchise”, the popular Cook is from nearby Seneca, MO and fought in front of sellout crowds on multiple occasions. While these are definite advantages for Cook, DeLoach comes into the ring with an impressive background.

 

Against DeLoach, 13-1 (7 KO-nin), Cook is taking a significant step up in competition and will do so before a national audience. Hailing from Augusta, GA and based in Houston, TX, DeLoach trained alongside top fighters including IBF junior middleweight champion Jermall Charlo, undefeated Jermell Charlo, Bryan Vera and Edwin Rodriguez amongst others. Son vaxtlar, Team DeLoach announced that his new chief second is former two division champion Paul Williams and highly respected George Peterson will work as an assistant.

 

To prepare for DeLoach, Cook’s been training out of the Heartland Boxing Gym and travels to various gyms for sparring as he anxiously waits for the opening bell on Mart 25.

 

“I’m excited for the fight but trying not to let the pressure of fighting on TV get to me,” said Cook, a former National Junior Golden Gloves titlist and six time Kansas City Golden Gloves winner. "(To specifically prepare for DeLoach) we’re working on (technique to counter) his style. DeLoach is a good fighter I’ve seen him fight a few times he’s fast and a busy fighter but I’m pretty fast myself. I expect to match his speed, if not beat it.”

 

Cook also acknowledges his advantages and never second guessed taking the step up in competition.

 

“I’m a smart fighter and can adapt well (plus the) hometown crowd is definitely a benefit. I knew we’d step (up the competition in the near future) and this is a great time for it. I’ve had 16 professional fights and am ready to show the world that I’m capable of going to the next level.”

 

Cook’s promoter, Tony Holden, is confident in his fighter and believes the locals will come out droves to support him.

 

“I’m proud to see him get a shot on a national stage. He’s a key part of the “Four State Franchise” and is a big crowd draw. He’s worked very hard and I expect him to put forth a tremendous performance. I’d like to personally thank Showtime as well for this incredible opportunity.”

 

The Cook-DeLoach bout opens up a quadrupleheader live on Showtime (10:30 PM ET). The card also features highly regarded junior welterweight Regis Prograis (16-0) against Aaron Herrera (29-4-1), two showdowns where somebody’s 0 must go between unbeaten welterweights Ivan Golub (10-0) and Marlon Aguas (9-0) and junior welterweights Ivan Baranchyk (9-0) vs Nicholas Givhan (16-0-1).
