VERONA, N.Y.. (April 15, 2016) – Undefeated bantamweight prospects Nikolay Potapov og Stephon Young fought to a majority draw in theShoBox: Den nye generasjonen main event Fredag on SHOWTIME from Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, N.Y..
The bout was scored 96-94 Potapov and 95-95 to ganger.
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, Young (14-0-3, 6 KOs) found another gear in an impressive ninth, winning the penultimate round on all the judges’ scorecards. Men, even after urgent instructions from his corner, Young couldn’t carry the momentum into the 10th 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, som kastet 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.”
Etter kampen, 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 i kveld. Not many people knew who I was going into this, but they know me now,” said Menard, who landed nearly 50 prosent av hans makt skudd. “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.
I åpnings bout av sendingen, undefeated cruiserweightConstantin Bejenaru handed Alexey Zubov the first loss of his career in a convincing eight-round unanimous decision scored 77-74, 78-73 to ganger.
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 146th og 147th boxers to suffer their first pro loss on the prospect developmental series.

MIAMI, Okla. (Mars 26, 2016) – On a night of knockouts, unbeaten super lightweight Regis "Rougarou" PROGRAMMER (17-0, 14 KOs), av Houston, scored his third consecutive dominant victory on ShoBox: Den nye generasjonen, knocking out Mexico’s Aaron Herrera (21-5-1, 12 KOs) ved 2:17 fra den første runden Fredag i hovedturneringen påSHOWTIME fra Buffalo Run Casino i Miami, Okla.
In scheduled eight-round bouts that all ended early, Ivan "The Beast" Baranchyk (10-0, 9 KOs), av Brooklyn, N.Y., registered a 21-second, første runde knockout i løpet Nick Givhan (16-1-1, 10 KOs), av Kalamazoo, Mich., in a super lightweight scrap, Ukrainian welterweight Ivan "The Volk" Golub (16-0, 10 KOs, 5-0 i World Series of Boxing), av Brooklyn, N.Y., scored a sixth-round TKO over Marlon Aguas (9-1, 6 KOs), Quito, Ecuador, og 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 debuterer. Cook, Aguas and Givhan became the 143rd, 144th og 145th boxers to suffer their first pro loss on the prospect developmental series.
“I can’t remember i 15 år of working ShoBox a show with such emphatic knockouts – and two of them being spectacular knockout of the year candidates,'' Sa ShoBox ekspert analytiker Steve Farhood.
PROGRAMMER, en fem-fot-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 fulle runder, the last thing I was expecting was a first-round knockout,’’ said Prograis, who was making his 2016 debut. “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 fra 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,'' Sa han. “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,'' Sa han. “That’s the reason we stopped it. I wasn’t that tired.”
I åpnings kampen av sendingen, 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, kaster nesten 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)
"Jeg er OK, 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. Full Interview:http://s.sho.com/1WPrJ28

Her er hva jagerfly sa torsdag:
REGIS PROGRAIS
"Dette er min største kamp. Vi har vært i gymsalen i to måneder å få klar. Vi sparring med hver stil, noe det tar å få meg klar.
"Jeg hadde en hel masse moro i min siste kamp på grunn (Abel) Ramos bare fortsatte å komme. Jeg kjemper en veteran, 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 kommer med ingenting å tape, men jeg elsker å kjempe meksikansk stil. Jeg har trent i Houston, så han vil ikke ta med noe jeg ikke har sett før.
"Jeg kan være en glatt keivhendt eller jeg kan slagsmål. Jeg bare elsker å kjempe, det er derfor jeg startet i boksing. Min tenkemåte er å banke og kampen, når det kommer til stykket. Noen ganger hvis jeg ikke treffer jeg blir lei, så jeg blande det opp litt mer så jeg vil komme hit og så jeg kan komme tilbake. Jeg kan tilpasse seg enhver stil.
"Dette er mitt tredje kamp på ShoBox og andre main event. Jeg ønsker trykket, men samtidig vet jeg har jeg å ignorere det og bare nyte og ha det gøy i det.
"Psykisk, Jeg føler jeg er klar for en viktig kamp mot noen av de beste kandidatene, men jeg vet slike kamper er fortsatt litt ned linjen for meg. Jeg har fortsatt mye arbeid å gjøre; Jeg trenger å holde pounding det før jeg får det all right.
"Jeg ser frem til en god kamp i morgen. ''
AARON HERRERA
"Dette er en interessant kamp fordi vi begge kommer opp i sporten. Jeg har sett noen av hans kamper og vet hva jeg er opp mot. Det ser ut som Prograis liker å komme frem og kommer til å kjempe, og jeg vil gjøre det samme, selv om jeg er nok mer av en bokser enn en slugger.
"Dette handler om å ta vare på virksomheten. Jeg har vært 12 runder før. I’ve fought some good fighters with good records. Dette er bare min andre kamp i Amerika, men jeg lærte mye fra den første, og det vil definitivt hjelpe meg. Jeg har mer selvtillit. Dette vil ikke være en ny opplevelse for meg.
"Jeg har kjempet med venstrehendte før, så etter et par runder, Jeg er sikker på at jeg skal føle seg komfortable. Jeg definitivt kommer til å vinne. Jeg gleder meg til å høre åpningen klokken ringen. ''
Oy BARANCHYK
"Dette er 100 prosent den beste fyren vi har møtt. Nick er en stor fighter, og vi kan ikke undervurdere ham. Vi vet at alt kan skje i boksing. Jeg satte arbeidet i gym, og nå jeg må gjøre jobben min i ringen.
"Jeg er en puncher, Jeg liker å ta det, og jeg kommer for knockout.
"Jeg er bare 23 men jeg jobber veldig hardt og føler at jeg kommer sammen. Jeg er i gym hele tiden. En av de viktigste tingene vi jobber med mest er composure inne i ringen. Jeg føler at jeg slo seg ned mer og arbeider jaben, men det er fortsatt noe vi jobber på.
"Du kan ikke bare gå inn og banke alle ut. Det er ikke så lett. Du må sette opp dine slag noen ganger. Jeg kommer aldri til å endre seg fra å være en naturlig puncher, laget mitt er ikke prøver å ta bort brannen i meg, de bare vil ha meg til å slå seg ned. ''
NICK GIVHAN
"Dette er en stor mulighet, og jeg føler meg velsignet å være å få det, men det er noe jeg har jobbet mot i mange år. Jeg føler det er der jeg skal være på dette stadiet av karrieren min. Jeg trenger bare å få i ringen for å sørge for at jeg håndtere min virksomhet i ringen
"Han er definitivt en av de tøffeste motstanderne jeg har møtt. Han er stor, kraftig og slår hardt hele kampen. Men jeg er den tøffeste han har møtt.
"Dette figurer opp som en bokser versus puncher kamp som favoriserer meg. Han kan komme ut jabbing først, men når han rørte han kan være frustrert. Det er det jeg vil dra nytte av, hans over aggressivitet.
"Jeg gleder meg til å gripe øyeblikket i morgen kveld. ''
IVAN Golub
"Jeg er veldig glade for å være på dette kortet, og ser frem til å kjempe på min første ShoBox kort. Dette er et stort steg opp, og det kommer til å bli en stor kamp.
"Da jeg fikk sjansen til å kjempe videre ShoBox, Jeg hadde ikke engang spørre hvem jeg var kjempe. Jeg sparre med noen av de beste der ute (Ievgen Khytrov,Sergey Derevanchenko, etc.). Men jeg er mer av en bokser-puncher enn noen av mine lagkamerater.
"Jeg jobber veldig hardt. I studier som boksing mye. Jeg vet at min tid kommer. Så lenge jeg viser god boksing ferdigheter, knockout vil komme. "
Marlon AQUAS
"Du må være forsiktig med sulten figI htersu ikke vet noe om, men jeg kommer til å gi 100 prosent i det. Jeg er her for å vise at jeg har det som trengs for å bli en verdensmester.
"Jeg er veldig motivert. Dette er min første kamp i US-. og på SHOWTIME så jeg ønsker å gjøre en uttalelse. Jeg vet at etter denne kampen mange dører vil åpne. Folk kan ikke kjenne meg nå, men de vil vite meg etter i morgen kveld.
"Jeg har mye bevegelse, men kan også stå der tå til tå og slagsmål. They are making a mistake taking a step up and fighting me. They don’t know what they’re getting into.
"Jeg har vært av på grunn av en skade i min venstre hånd, men det er helt leget og jeg er klar. Jeg har hatt mange sparring.
"Jeg er mer av en stylist, bokseren. Jeg liker å flytte rundt mye. Men hvis jeg må gå på det og slagsmål jeg vil. Jeg ønsker virkelig å vise fansen at jeg er verdig til å se igjen. ''
DILLON COOK
“This will be my toughest fight but I’m feeling great. I’m excited but not all that nervous. Det er et visst press kjemper på TV første gang, men det har ikke vært enerverende.
"Dette er en så stor kamp; Jeg er klar for alt han bringer. Jeg prøver ikke å over-tenke noe. Jeg vil bare gjøre det jeg gjør.
"Dette er en hjemmekamp for meg. Jeg bor ca 25 minutter. Så det hjelper at jeg er vant til atmosfæren, og ikke trenger å reise.
"Jeg har sett litt av ham. Jeg føler de tingene han gjør hele tiden vil jobbe mot ham. Hans komme frem stilen er en god en for meg. Jeg har hatt god tid til å forberede (fem uker) så det vil ikke være noen overraskelser.
"Jeg tror jeg har kompetanse til å gå mye far, så jeg ønsker å forlate et godt inntrykk.
“Speed and footwork are my biggest weapons. I’ve been dazed before, men ikke slått ned. ''
JUSTIN Deloach
"Alt til dette punktet har vært en velsignelse for meg. Dette er definitivt en stor kamp, og jeg ser frem til å gjøre det jeg gjør og sette på et stort show. Jeg har ikke sett mye av Dillon, men han er ubeseiret og kommer til å vinne. Jeg er klar for hva han bringer.
"Jeg føler jeg har mye rå talent som har ennå å bli sett. Min viktigste er å ta kontroll over kampen fra start.
"Dette er så spennende. My biggest and most important fight yet. If I do what I’m supposed to I’ll be OK. Dette er min første åtte-rounder, men jeg er ikke bekymret i det hele tatt.
"Vi er en del av en stor ShoBox Showet. Jeg kan ikke vente. ''

Dillon Cook Counting Down Days for ShoBox Debut!
Seneca, MO (Mars 18, 2016) - På Mars 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 og $75 and can be purchased by logging onto Buffalorun.com or Stubwire.com.
Ubeseiret i 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 s), 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. Nylig, 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 Mars 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).
