Вось тое, што ўдзельнікі павінны былі сказаць,:
Джэк Бадуеў
I’m looking forward to another victory. Гэта будзе жорсткая барацьба, але я гатовы. 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 Красавіка 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 гадзін, but I feel brand new.
I still feel fresh! Трэніравальны лагер добра. Everything is right on schedule. I’m feeling really focused.
Лучиан Буте
The most important thing for me is to have fun when I train. My confidence level is back at 100 працэнтаў. 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, ў Вашынгтоне. 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). Ён добры баксёр, 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, Я 36 гадоў, 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 Красавіка 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 Леў з'яўляецца. People will know that Леў 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
“Трэніравальны лагер быў ідзе добра, 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. так, 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.

VERONA, N.Y.. (Красавіка 15, 2016) – Undefeated bantamweight prospects Мікалай Патапаў і Stephon Маладая fought to a majority draw in theShoBox: Новае пакаленне галоўная падзея Пятніца on SHOWTIME from Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, N.Y..

 

The bout was scored 96-94 Potapov and 95-95 двойчы.

 

Potapov and Young were facing their toughest opponents in each other. Патапаў (14-0-1, 6 КО) 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, Малады (14-0-3, 6 КО) found another gear in an impressive ninth, winning the penultimate round on all the judges’ scorecards. Але, even after urgent instructions from his corner, Young couldn’t carry the momentum into the 10й 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, хто кінуў 315 jabs compared to just 113 for Young. “I was the much busier fighter. Я не ведаю, што змагацца суддзя глядзеў. 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.”

 

Пасля бою, Вуліца. 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 КО) 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 КО) out before he even hit the canvas.

 

“I made a statement сёння ўвечары. Not many people knew who I was going into this, but they know me now,” said Menard, who landed nearly 50 адсоткаў яго магутнасць стрэлу. “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.

 

У першым баі тэлеперадачы, undefeated cruiserweightConstantin Bejenaru рукамі Аляксей Зубаў the first loss of his career in a convincing eight-round unanimous decision scored 77-74, 78-73 двойчы.

 

Save for a flash seventh round knockdown, Bejenaru (11-0, 4 КО) 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 КО) 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 146й і 147й boxers to suffer their first pro loss on the prospect developmental series.

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 “Цукар” 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 ringhow 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. Пазней, 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. Мне 100 працэнтаў гатовы,” 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.

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 поўных раўндаў, the last thing I was expecting was a first-round knockout,’’ said Prograis, who was making his 2016 дэбют. “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 ад 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.”

Голуб, a former standout amateur from Ukraine, had to rally from the first knockdown of his career. “This was a little tougher than I expected,'' Сказаў ён. “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,'' Сказаў ён. “That’s the reason we stopped it. I wasn’t that tired.”

У першым баі ў тэлеперадачы, 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, кідаць амаль 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. Pete (Paul’s longtime manager and trainer and DeLoach’s assistant trainer, George Williams)

 

"Я ў парадку, 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.

REGIS PROGRAIS

 

"Гэта мой самы вялікі бой. Мы былі ў трэнажорнай зале на працягу двух месяцаў рыхтуемся. Мы спарынг з кожным стылем, усё, што ён прымае, каб я гатовы.

"У мяне быў цэлы шмат весялосці ў мой апошні бой, таму што (Абель) Рамас проста прыходзілі. Я змагаюся ветэран, 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 прыходзіць з чаго губляць, але я люблю барацьбу мексіканскі стыль. Я трэніраваўся ў Х'юстане, таму ён не будзе нічога я не бачыў, перш чым прынесці.

 

"Я магу быць слізкім Ляўшун ці ​​я магу скандаліць. Я проста люблю змагацца, Менавіта таму я пачаў у боксе. Мой вобраз думак грымнуць і барацьба, калі справа даходзіць да. Часам, калі я не ўдарыў мне становіцца сумна, так што я змяшаць яго трохі больш, так што я буду атрымаць ўдар, а затым я магу вярнуцца. Я магу прыстасавацца да любога стылю.

 

"Гэта мой трэці бой на ShoBox і па-другое галоўная падзея. Я вітаю ціск, але ў той жа час я ведаю, што я павінен ігнараваць гэта і проста атрымліваць асалоду ад і атрымліваць задавальненне там.

 

"Псіхічна, Я адчуваю, што я гатовы да буйной барацьбе супраць любога з галоўных сапернікаў, але я ведаю, што гэтыя віды баёў ўсё яшчэ трохі ўніз па лініі для мяне. Я да гэтага часу ёсць шмат працы, каб зрабіць; Мне трэба, каб трымаць яго стукаць, пакуль я не атрымаць усё гэта права.

 

"Я з нецярпеннем чакаю добры бой заўтра. ''

 

Аарон HERRERA

 

"Гэта цікавы бой, таму што мы абодва прыдумляюць у спорце. Я бачыў некалькі яго баёў і ведаю, што я супраць. Падобна на тое, што Prograis любіць выйсці наперад і прыходзіць да барацьбы, і я буду рабіць тое ж самае, хоць я, напэўна, больш, чым баксёр адбіваюць.

 

"Гаворка ідзе аб клопаце аб бізнэсе. Я быў 12 туры да. I’ve fought some good fighters with good records. Гэта толькі мой другі бой у Амерыцы, але я шмат чаму навучыўся ад першага і што, безумоўна, дапаможа мне. У мяне ёсць больш упэўненасці ў сабе. Гэта не будзе новы вопыт для мяне.

 

"Я змагаўся з леўшуноў перш, такім чынам пасля некалькіх раўндаў, Я ўпэўнены, што я буду адчуваць сябе камфортна. Я вызначана прыходзіць, каб выйграць. Я не магу чакаць, каб пачуць адкрыцця звон кольца. ''

 

Ой BARANCHYK

"Гэта 100 адсоткаў лепшы хлопец мы сутыкнуліся. Нік вялікі баец, і мы не можам яго недаацэньваць. Мы ведаем, што ўсё можа здарыцца ў боксе. Я паставіў працу ў трэнажорнай зале, і цяпер мне трэба рабіць сваю працу ў рынгу.

 

"Я панчер, Я хацеў бы прынесці яго, і я іду на накаўт.

 

"Я толькі 23 але я працую вельмі цяжка, і адчуваю, што я іду ўздоўж. Я ў трэнажорнай зале ўвесь час. Адна з галоўных рэчаў, з якімі мы працуем на найбольш з'яўляецца сябе ў руках ўсярэдзіне кольца. Я адчуваю, што я асесці больш і працаваць Джеб, але гэта яшчэ што-то мы працуем над.

 

"Вы проста не можаце пайсці і выбіць ўсіх з. Гэта не так проста. Вам трэба наладзіць свае ўдары часам. Я ніколі не зменіцца ад таго, каб быць натуральным панчер, мая каманда не спрабуе адабраць агонь ўва мне, яны проста хочуць, каб я асесці. ''

 

НВК GIVHAN

"Гэта вялікая магчымасць, і я адчуваю сябе дабраславёным, каб атрымаць яго, але гэта тое, што я працую ў бок на працягу многіх гадоў. Я адчуваю, што гэта, дзе я павінен быць на дадзеным этапе маёй кар'еры. Мне проста трэба, каб патрапіць у кола, каб пераканацца, што я апрацоўваць свой бізнэс у кальцы

 

"Ён, безумоўна, адзін з самых жорсткіх праціўнікаў я сутыкнуўся. ён вялікі, магутны і моцны ўдар ўвесь бой. Але я жорсткім ён сутыкаецца.

"Гэта фармуе уверх як баксёр супраць перфаратар барацьбы, які выступае за мяне. Ён можа выйсці на першы погляд тыцкаў, але як толькі ён дакрануўся ён можа быць расчараванне. Гэта тое, што я буду выкарыстоўваць у сваіх інтарэсах, яго празмернай агрэсіўнасцю.

 

"Я з нецярпеннем чакаю, каб скарыстацца момантам заўтра ўвечары. ''

 

ІВАН ГОЛУБ

 

"Я вельмі рады быць на гэтай карце, і з нецярпеннем чакаю барацьбы на мой першы ShoBox карта. Гэта вялікі крок наперад, і гэта будзе вялікі бой.

 

"Калі я атрымаў шанец змагацца на ShoBox, Я нават не спытаў, хто я змагаўся. Я шпата з некаторымі з лепшых там (Ievgen Khytrov,Sergey Derevanchenko, і г.д.). Але я больш баксёр-накаўцёрам, чым некаторыя з маіх таварышаў па камандзе.

"Я працую вельмі цяжка. Вучуся бокс шмат. Я ведаю, што мой час прыйдзе. Да таго часу, як я пакажу добрыя баксёрскія навыкі, накаўт прыйдзе ".

"Я быў выключаны з-за траўмы левай рукі, але яна цалкам зажыла, і я гатовы. У мяне было шмат спарынг.

 

"Я больш стыліста, баксёр. Мне падабаецца рухацца вакол шмат. Але калі я павінен пайсці на гэта, і я буду скандаліць. Я сапраўды хачу, каб паказаць заўзятарам, што я варты таго, каб глядзець зноў. ''

"Я бачыў крыху пра яго. Я адчуваю, што ён робіць ўвесь час будзе працаваць супраць яго. Яго прыйсці наперад стыль з'яўляецца добрым для мяне. У мяне было дастаткова часу, каб падрыхтаваць (пяць тыдняў) так што не будзе ніякіх сюрпрызаў.

Dillon Cook Counting Down Days for ShoBox Debut!

 

D Cook.jpg

Seneca, Місуры (Сакавіка 18, 2016) - На Сакавіка 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, ДОБРА.

 

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

 

Непераможны ў 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 КО), 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, Тэхас, DeLoach trained alongside top fighters including IBF junior middleweight champion Jermall Charlo, undefeated Jermell Charlo, Bryan Vera and Edwin Rodriguez amongst others. Нядаўна, 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 Сакавіка 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, Тоні Холден, 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).
