NEW YORK (Marts 16, 2016) –Eight talented up-and-coming boxers with a combined record of 116-2-4, 71 KOs will compete on a compelling ShoBox: Den nye generation quadrupleheader på Fredag, April 15, lever videre SHOWTIME (10 p.m. OG/PT, forsinket på vestkysten) fra Turning Stone Resort Casino i Verona, N.Y..

 

In a clash of unbeaten bantamweights in the main event, undefeated world-ranked Nikolay Potapov (14-0, 6 KOS), af Podolsk, Rusland, ansigter Stephon Young (14-0-2, 6 KOS), St. Louis, Miss. i en 10-round Bout. Eudy Bernardo (21-0, 15 KOS) of the Dominican Republic faces Mason “Rock Hard Mighty” Menard (30-1-0, 22 KOS), of Rayne, Den., in an eight/10-round battle of hard-hitting lightweights in the co-feature.

 

Promising Russian cruiserweight Alexey Zubov (10-0, 6 KOS) measures against Constantin Bejenaru (10-0, 4 KOS, WSB: 0-1-1) of Mandilesti, Moldova, in one of the eight-round bouts.

 

The two ShoBox returnees will box in the eight-round telecast opener when Kazakhstan’s devastating junior welterweight Bakhtiyar “Bakha Bullet” Eyubov (10-0, 10 KOS), af Brooklyn, N.Y., takes on Liberia-born Samuel Seah (7-1-1, 2 KOS), af Philadelphia, Pa.

Six of the fighters, all seeking to establish their credibility and make a name for themselves, are newcomers to the network and will be making their ShoBox debuts on a four-fight telecast that has a distinct international flavor (two Americans, two Russians, one Romanian, one from Kazakhstan, one Dominican and one from Liberia).

Tickets for the event presented by Salita Promotions in association with AASHA Record Breakers are currently on sale and can be purchased at the Turning Stone Resort Casino Box Office, by calling 877.833.SHOW, or online at Ticketmaster.com. Billetter er prissat til $60 for ringside pladser, $35 og $25.

The fast-rising Potapov, of Potolsk, Rusland, is ranked 10th i IBF. Extremely rare for a fighter at this point in his career, he’s already gone 10 rounds five times and 12 rounds once against good opposition. This is his second start in the United States since signing with Salita Promotions in June 2015. The 5-foot-4, 26-year-old is coming off a shutout 10-round decision over Pedro Melo sidste Oktober. 29 i Brooklyn.

 

An outstanding amateur with international success, Potapov had around 200 fights before he turned pro in March 2010. Han gik 13-0 as a pro in Russia. In his outing before last – and last in his homeland — he produced perhaps a career-best performance while winning a unanimous 12-round decision over then-IBF No. 10-rangeret Jasoin Canoy, den nov. 8, 2015.

“I’ve been training very hard to make my ShoBox debut a spectacular one,’’ Potapov said. “This will be my second fight in New York against a very skilled boxer in Stephon Young, who is undefeated like me. I look forward to a great competitive fight and I’m putting in my work to come out on top.’’

 

Young is a talented, lightning-fast-handed southpaw who’s done more than enough to deserve his standing as a rising star in the Midwest. He’s making his 2016 and 10-round debut.

 

Like Potapov, Young was a top-notch amateur. He compiled a record of 86-13 while representing the United States in many tournaments. In theU.S. Olympiske forsøg i 2011, he lost to the No. 1-rated amateur,Rau'shee Warren.

 

His pedigree solid and after years of having “celebrated amateur” permanently affixed to his name, Young turned pro in August 2011.The 5-foot-5, 27-year-old has gone eight rounds once and six rounds on four occasions. He’s coming off a third-round TKO over Terrance Roysidste August. 8 and by far his toughest task, Young boxed unbeaten Antonio Nieves to an eight-round draw on June 20, 2015.

 

Young hasn’t fought near the caliber of fighters as Potapov but he’s excited and optimistic about April 15. “This is a great opportunity for me, going up against another undefeated fighter in front of the world onShoBox,’’ Young said. “You can’t pass up an opportunity like that. Træning går godt. I’m training with some of the top notch fighters in the world like Juan Carlos Payano, Claudio Marrero og Yenifel Vicente.

“I know little about my opponent, but what I know makes me feel like we are the perfect match. We both have good records and we are both good fighters, but once I bring my A game, he’d be helpless. I will be watching all my P’s and Q’s. Once you get me in that zone I have no doubt I will win.’’

Bernardo, a 29-year-old with a million-dollar smile – and a punch to match — has registered knockouts in nine of his last 10 slagsmål. In Menard, he’s facing unquestionably the most seasoned foe of his career. This is Bernardo’s fourth U.S. start and second in a row. He’s coming off a clinically ruthless second-round demolition of Ben Odametey sidste Februar. 6 i Detroit, mig.

 

Born and raised in Santo Domingo, Den Dominikanske Republik, Bernardo had an extensive amateur career (128 slagsmål) before turning pro in October 2009. He captured the Dominican Republic Lightweight Title in his fourth start. Tall for his division at 5-foot-10½, Bernardo is aggressive, technically sound and possesses two-fisted power.

“With him being 30-1, beating Mason Menard will take me to the next level, exactly where I want to go,’’ said Bernardo, who trains in Houston with former world champion Frank Tate. “I’m excited about this fight onShoBox because it’s a good opportunity for America to get to know me. Træning går meget godt. Every day I am learning. My diet is terrific. My whole team is with me, pushing me to get better.’’

Menard, former Louisiana State and UBO All-Americas Lightweight Champion, is a pressure and hard-punching fighter who’s won 28 in a row.

He has fought all but one of his fights in Louisiana and this will be his second start i 21 måneder. In his most recent effort, han standsede Jesus Lule-Raya in the first round on Aug. 8, 2015.

 

While inactivity could pose a problem, Menard is primed for Bernardo. Nobody, siger han, is going to deter him from his aspirations of making it to the top.

 

“It’s blessing to me to be able to fight and showcase my talent on SHOWTIME,’’ said Menard, who has weighed at or around 135 pounds throughout a pro career that began in October 2007. “It’s been a part of a dream of mine to do so and to one day fight for a major world title. PåApril 15, Bernardo stands between me and my dreams. It’s all or nothing. It’s rise or lay down. April 15 is the day I’ll be able to be known as a real legit fighter. I WILL NOT let this guy stop me from accomplishing any of those things. Quote me, I will give it my all, I will rise, I will be known and I will be world champion.’’

 

Zubov, a sensational former international amateur standout and seven-time cruiserweight tournament champion in Russia and Europe, turned pro in April 2014. His first five fights were in the U.S. – four in California and one in Brooklyn. He won all but one inside the distance.

 

The 6-foot-1½-inch 30-year-old will be making his 2016 debut after fighting four times in 2015 og seks gange i 2014. Zubov’s last five fights were in Russia; he is coming off a first-round TKO over Rihards Bigissidste November. 29.

Zubov was born and raised in Magnitogorsk, a city which isn’t exactly a fistic hotbed. Getting into boxing was hardly common for his corner of the world. He didn’t grow up in a nasty neighborhood or fighting in the streets. Faktisk, he has a profound mathematical background, having attended a special school that concentrated on physics and mathematics. But while his first sport was hockey, he took to boxing.

Regarding his upcoming skirmish, Zubov said, “I spent several weeks training at the Kronk Boxing Gym with Javan ‘Sugar’ Hill in Detroit for my ShoBox debut. I learn every day in the gym and look forward to putting my knowledge to use April 15 på ShoBox. I want to follow in the footsteps of all the great Kronk fighters.’’

Bejenaru a Moldovan-born fighting out of Catskill, N.Y., gør hans 2016 debut. Since moving to the U.S., the 5-foot-10, 31-year-old southpaw is 10-0 med 1 No Contest dating to September 2012. I hans sidste udflugt, he won a unanimous eight-round decision over Joel Shojgreen den okt. 14, 2015.

“I know Zubov is a good fighter. I am training very hard and have been waiting for an opportunity like this so people can see just what I can do,’’ said Bejenaru, who was born in a Moldovia, a small land-locked country in Eastern Europe. “I am ready to go and very excited about this fight.’’

 

Som en amatør, Bejenaru won a bronze medal at the 2006 European Amateur Boxing Championships, multiple medals at the European Union Amateur Boxing Championships and the Gold Medal at the 2010 World Combat Games.

 

Yeyubov, 29, of Astana, Kazahstan, has fought a total of 16 rounds in his 10 fights since going pro in February 2012. A one-main offensive juggernaut, he’s scored six first-round knockouts, two second-round knockouts and two third-round knockouts. This will be his ninth fight in the U.S.

 

I sin ShoBox debut in his last start this past Jan. 22, Eyubov droppedJared Robinson, three times en route to a third-round TKO (0:56).

 

“I’m honored to be back on ShoBox,’’ said the 5-foot-6 Eyubov who’s promoted by Salita Promotions. “I went back home to Kazakhstan after my last fight and came back with more inspiration and motivation to be the best fighter in the world. I am training very hard every day in New York City and look forward to putting on a show April 15. My gratitude toShoBox for giving a young upcoming fighter like me the opportunity to showcase his skills against the best possible opponents on national TV in the U.S. It’s just amazing.’’

Eyubov got into boxing the hard way. “I used to live in a very bad neighborhood and would constantly get into street fights. I’m not a big guy so I started boxing to learn to defend myself,'' Sagde han. “I had over 150 amatør kampe. I won about 125-130, most were by knockout. I beat Olympic champions and international champions, but I was not allowed to travel. It might have been because of where I come from – they didn’t have political connections. They’d tell me, ‘Win by knockout, or you’re not going to win.’ I had to fight heavier guys sometimes. But I was so rough and hit so hard, I’d ruin some of their best fighters at my weight.’’

 

Ja, en 5-7, 28-årige, vandt sin ShoBox and eight-round debut lastNovember. 6 with an upset, unanimous decision over previously undefeatedO'Shanique Foster. Teah outpointed Foster, who would go on to win his ensuring start on ShoBox.

 

“It’s a privilege and honor to be facing Eyubov on SHOWTIME,’’ said Teah, who’s coming off an eight-round draw against Demond Brock sidste Jan. 22. “I don’t know much about him. I know he’s from Kazakhstan with a perfect record. He fought last time I fought on the same card, but I didn’t get to see him and he didn’t get to see me. Now we get to fight each other. When I got the call I was in the gym already, just not in a fight mindset. Now it’s just matter of turning up the intensity and getting ready for an aggressive opponent and getting my fight mindset going.’’

 

Ja, who was born in Liberia, fled with his family to Ghana, where his father’s from, to escape the civil war when Sam was a youngster. The family’s been in the U.S. since he was 10.

Tidligere verdensmester til at træne PROSPECT JUSTIN DeLoach

I FJERDE FIGHT suppleres Fredag, MARTS 25,

SHOBOX: DEN NYE GENERATION fjersynsudsendelse

”Jeg er bange hele igen, som dette er min første kamp.”- Paul Williams

 

Super Weltervægt DeLoach Tager på ubesejrede Lokal Favorit Dillon Kog;

Lovende Opfylder Aaron Herrera i Main Event;

Live på SHOWTIME® På 10:30 p.m. OG/PT

NEW YORK (Marts 15, 2016) - Tidligere to-tiden verdensmester Paul Williams, der er pro karriere kom til en pludselig og tragisk afslutning, da han blev lammet fra livet og ned efter en motorcykel ulykke i maj 2012, er tilbage i boksning som træner.

 

Den populære Williams vil arbejde hjørnet af en gang-slået Justin DeLoach (13-1, 7 KOS) når DeLoach står ubesejret super weltervægt og lokale favorit Dillon Kog (16-0, 6 KOS) i åbningen otte-runde anfald af hvad der nu er en ShoBox: Den nye generation quadrupleheader på Fredag, Marts 25, lever videreSHOWTIME (10:30 p.m. OG/PT, forsinket på vestkysten) fra Buffalo Run Casino i Miami, Okla.

 

DeLoach er den første bokser for at blive trænet af Williams, den tidligere 154-pund southpaw der er blevet bundet til en kørestol siden ulykken.

”Jeg tror, ​​jeg var ved at blive egoistisk ved første,”Sagde Williams. ”Jeg ønskede ikke at beskæftige sig med i kampen spillet. Jeg ønskede at være den ene kampene. Men det ændrede sig.”

 

Williams var tilbageholdende med at træne krigere i lang tid. Det varGeorge Peterson, der styres og uddannet Williams fra det tidspunkt, hvor bokser var en tynd dreng med lidt amatør erfaring indtil hans karriere sluttede, der hjalp overtale ”The Punisher” for at vende tilbage til ringen. Williams tog sin elev på en privat motionscenter i sin hjemby Aiken, S.C.

 

"Du kender mig, Jeg har virkelig ikke lyst til at gøre dette,’’ Williams sagde. ”Men endelig efter tre eller fire års George næsten tigger mig om at forsøge at gøre det, denne mulighed kom og jeg besluttede at give det et skud.

 

”Alt handler om timing. Jeg begyndte at tænke på det, George holdes spørger mig og rode med mig om det, en ting førte til en anden, og jeg endelig sagde jeg ville tage en kniv på det.
Williams, der er nyder hans nye jobbeskrivelse, indrømmer der er nogle præ-fight rystesyge.

 

”Jeg er bange hele igen, som dette er min første kamp. Nu, Jeg er nødt til at tænke over alt det, som hr. Pete tænkte på, da jeg kæmpede. Jeg er nødt til at forsøge at lære Justin hvad jeg vidste, hvordan man gør.

 

”George og jeg nåede meget. Han gjorde mig en verdensmester; inden da, ingen vidste, hvem han eller jeg var. Vi var blot et par gutter fra Aiken, S.C. Vi gav fans kæmper for at huske.

 

”Jeg var den fighter pressen mærket som’mest frygtede i boksning.’Men det er slut for mig nu. Jeg springer ind i en helt ny ting. Det har været en justering, men jeg er glad for, jeg gør det.’’

 

I sin rolle som træner, Williams’ tankegang har ændret sig drastisk fra hans kæmpende dage. "Se, Jeg føler altid godt,'' Sagde han. ”Hvad er der sket er sket. Det er hvad det er. Dette er min første gang at træde tilbage til verden. Jeg elsker boksning.

 

”Det, jeg ønsker ikke at se, er en fighter komme til skade. Dette er en hård sport. Jeg ved, da jeg var i der var jeg altid går efter brød. Men jeg vil Justin, alle krigere faktisk, til at komme ud af ringen på samme måde, de kom i. Vinder eller taber, Jeg ønsker ikke at se nogen komme til skade.’’

 

på DeLoach, Williams sagde, ”Han er en god fighter og nu er han i søgelyset. Jeg ønsker at gøre mit bedste i uddannelsen verden for at få ham på hans højdepunkt. Jeg håber, at han gør sit bedste. Jeg ville elske at én-up George med Justin.’’

 

At blive den bedste tager anstrengende arbejde på daglig basis, og Williams var ikke fremmed for at sætte i timerne.

 

”Jeg tog aldrig en genvej,'' Sagde han. ”Du tager genveje, du ved, hvad der vil ske. Jeg tog den lange vej hjem, da jeg var kæmper og ventilatorer, krigere, alle vidste hvad de skal forvente, når jeg forskydninger i ringen.

 

”Justin er ikke sådan ud, men en ting jeg ved er, at krigere tror, ​​de er smarte. Godt, du kan ikke trække noget over mig. Jeg har været der, set det hele.’’

 

Og, som altid, han vil have George Peterson ved sin side.

 

”Jeg er bare at hjælpe Paul,’’ Siger Peterson, der vil fungere som Williams’ assistent træner. "Indtil nu, han gør stor.”

 

Det vil være den ShoBox og 2016 debuterer — og hårdeste kamp til dato — for både DeLoach og Cook.

 

DeLoach var en top amatør, konkurrerer i USA Boxing nationale mesterskaber i 2012. Han vandt en National Silver Golden Gloves titel, da han var 13.

 

Den 22-årige DeLoach, af Augusta, Ga., har vundet tre i træk, siden at lide hans enlige tab til Cesar Villa den feb. 6, 2015. Det var før han begyndte at træne med Williams.

 

”Det har været en total velsignelse, og jeg siger, at hver dag,”DeLoach sagde. "Gudskelov. Han er den, der bragte os to sammen, det er det vigtigste ting. Paulus elsker det, bare for at være tilbage. Jeg tror, ​​han var bange først, hans ry var på spil, og så var min.

 

”Men han har været så hjælpsomme - bare i den mentale side af tingene. Jeg var allerede en god bokser, men han har taget mig til et andet niveau mentalt. Han har skubber mig, kritisere mig, give mig instruktioner og plukke min hjerne.”

 

DeLoach og Williams voksede op lige 30 minutter ned af vejen fra hinanden.

 

”Mig og Paul, vi har kendt hinanden hele vores liv,’’ DeLoach sagde. ”Jeg er fra Augusta, Ga., og han var rigtigt på tværs i Aiken. Vi kendte hinanden, da jeg var på vej op som amatør. Han kom til mit sidste pro kamp, ​​der var i San Antonio. Da jeg så ham, Jeg fik så ophidset. Vi begyndte at tale, og jeg sagde noget i retning af, 'Hey, Paul, ville det ikke være fedt, hvis vi fik sammen?'

 

”En gang kom jeg hjem, vi begyndte at arbejde sammen, og han er blevet trænet mig siden. Jeg tror, ​​vi kommer på omkring tre måneder nu. Det er en utrolig følelse at være i stand til at arbejde med en af ​​mine favorit krigere.”

 

I hans sidste udflugt, DeLoach vandt en shutout fire-runde beslutning i løbet afSantos Benavides sidste December. 12. DeLoach, en pro siden marts 2013, kæmpede seks gange om året og fire gange hver i 2014 og 2015.

 

”Jeg ser virkelig frem til at kæmpe for første gang for ham,”DeLoach sagde. ”Jeg har gået vanvittigt venter på min pause og en mulighed som denne til at kæmpe på SHOWTIME. Jeg ved, det er ikke let kampe i din modstanders baghave, men med Paul, George Peterson og mig og mine evner, Vi er overbeviste om det vil være en god kamp.’’

 

Kog, 25, er fra Seneca, Mo., som er beliggende ca. 20 minutter fra Buffalo Run Casino, hvor han har kæmpet seks gange. En øverste amatør, han vandt seks Golden Gloves titler, en Junior Golden Gloves National titel, en Heartland titel og fire regionale Sølv Handsker titler. Han er populær hos Buffalo Run og vil gøre sin præmie net-tv debut mod let hans farligste opgave som en pro. Cooks bror, Jesse, en weltervægt med en registrering af 15-1-1, vil boksen på den ikke-tv del af begivenheden.

 

Dillon Kog blev professionel i august 2012, kæmpede to gange samme år, syv gange i 2013, fire gange i 2014 og tre gange sidste år. Fem af hans sidste syv fandt sted på Buffalo Run, herunder to ud af tre i 2015. Han kommer fra en skæv otte-runde beslutning i løbet afRahman Usubov sidste November. 14.

 

”Jeg kunne ikke være mere begejstret for at gøre min ShoBox debut, sig hjemme, på Buffalo Run Casino,”Kog sagde. ”Dette er en enorm mulighed for mig, og jeg har planer om at sætte på en spektakulær fremvisning, for alle mine fans der om natten, og alle ser på tv.”

 

I ShoBox main event, ubesejrede super let knockout kunstner og nye stigende stjerne, Regis "Rougarou" PROGRAMMER (16-0, 13 KOS), Houston i form af New Orleans, vil møde erfarne Aaron "The Jewel" Herrera (29-4-1, 18 KOS), Valladolid, Mexico, i en 10-runde kamp.

ATLANTIC CITY (Februar. 20, 2016) - Adam "Smør" Lopez (15-0, 7 KOS), San Antonio, Texas, remained unbeaten and took another step toward becoming a full-fledged contender by winning a hard-fought unanimous 10-round decision over previously undefeated Mario “Yayo” Muñoz (16-1-1, 10 KOS), af Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, i Fredagensmain event på ShoBox: Den nye generation lever videre SHOWTIMEfra Adrian Phillips Ballroom in Historic Boardwalk Hall.

 

“Lopez punched harder and controlled the tempo," ShoBox ekspert analytiker Steve Farhood sagde. “He overcame the problem with his right eye and now he’s 3-0 with three undefeated fighters on ShoBox, so he’s indeed a prospect to watch.”

 

The highly regarded Lopez, making his third ShoBox appearance and main event debut, survived a nasty cut over his right eye to win by the scores of 98-92 to gange og 97-93. Der var ingen knockdowns.

 

“This was my toughest fight as a pro and I think I proved a lot,'' Sagde Lopez, who entered the ring as the WBA No. 8 contender at 122 pounds. “I showed I could fight through a lot of adversity. The cut in my eye was definitely a factor for my performance in a couple of rounds, but I put the pedal to the medal and got through it. I landed the more telling shots.

 

“This is the kind of fight I can learn from. Fighting through the cut and all the head butts, and still persevering. These are the kinds of fights that make fighters better. You don’t learn a thing by blowing guys out.

 

“Muñoz was a good fighter and landed some tight shots on me, but I was definitely the better fighter and there was no question I would get the decision. I thought I might stop him in the eighth or ninth, but it didn’t happen.’’

 

There was little known about Muñoz going into Fredag, but the mystery man from Mexico who was making his United States debut and first start outside of Mexico performed well and showed solid skills and ability.

 

“I’m very disappointed in the decision,’’ Muñoz said. “I’m a better fighter than he is. I landed more combinations. My face is unmarked, look at his. He hurt me more from his low blows and head butts than he did with his punches. I’d love to fight him again.’’

With the defeat, Muñoz became the 142ND boxer on ShoBox to suffer his first defeat. Two fights earlier, Lavisas “Red Williams (8-1-1, 3 KOS), af Rochester, N.Y., blev 141st ShoBox boxer to suffer his initial setback when he lost by seventh round TKO to O'Shaquie "Ice Water" Foster (10-1, 7 KOS), Orange, Texas.

Foster, en tidligere amatør standout, rebounded from a poor outing in hisShoBox debut to register a seventh-round TKO over Williams. Foster dropped the outclassed southpaw four times. After the final knockdown in the seventh, the fight was stopped at 52 sekunder inde i runde.

 

In the co-feature of a ShoBox quadrupleheader, undefeated super middleweight Ronald “Flatline” Ellis (12-0-1, 10 KOS), af Lynn, Mass., and Washington D.C.’s Jerry "prinsen" Odom (13-2-1, 12 KOS) fought to a hard-fought eight-round majority draw. A close, competitive contest throughout was scored 78-74 for Ellis and 76-76 et stykke.

 

Ved indledningen kamp af de telecast, John “Madman” Magda (11-0-1, 7 KOS), af Rutherford, N.Y., and Philadelphia’s Christopher “Ice Cold” Brooker (7-1-1, 5 KOS) fought to a disputed eight-round split draw in a super middleweight matchup that most felt Brooker won. At the finish, one judge had it for Magda (77-74), one had it for Brooker (78-74) and one had it even at 76-all.

 

“I thought that was a terrible decision,'Farhood sagde. “The judges were all over the place. I think Brooker did enough to win. He was the more aggressive fighter and landed the bigger punches. I was very surprised by the result that it was a draw.”

 

Ellis, a five-year-pro who hurt his right hand at the end of the third, was pleased with his overall performance, not so much the result.

 

“I think I did a good job i aften,’’ said Ellis, the older brother of welterweight prospect Rashidi Ellis who’d won four straight by knockout, including a second-round TKO over Jas Phipps in his last start last August. 29. “I started strong and I showed that I belong here, in a nationally televised show. I’m happy with what I did.

 

“I showed i aften that I can counter a busy fighter. I can take a punch. I can also be a boxer-puncher. Odom tried to do his thing at the beginning, but he just couldn’t do it with me. I followed my trainer’s advice. I punched, I stood back. I used my left hook. I think I really hurt him a couple times.

 

“I won that fight. I’m sure. Først, I banged with him and then I showed my boxing. It was easy in there, I won that fight. Han sårede mig aldrig. I’ll be back. You will be seeing a lot of me in the future.”

 

Odom, en top amatør og 2012 National Golden Gloves Champion på 178 pounds who was looking to turn it around after losing two of his last three, was content with the decision although he felt he’d won his first fight in seven months.

“I can’t be disappointed with the decision because I fought my heart out.’’ Odom said. “I know I hurt him. He hurt me a bit in the second, but I got back on my feet and I kept on going.

“I feel I pulled it out in the last rounds. I worked the body, I think I did some damage. Ellis looked hurt.

“I mean no disrespect, but I felt I definitely did enough to win, but the judges saw it differently.”

Said Farhood: “Ellis-Odom was a strange fight. At times it was a brawl, and at times it was a boxing match. Til tider, one fighter came forward and at times the other fighter came forward. I thought Odom did enough in the last couple of rounds to salvage a draw and it turns out that is what the judges scored, a draw. Så, I think the judges got it right on that fight.”

Foster decked Williams in the second, third, fourth and seventh rounds. Three of the knockdowns appeared to result from a push, but Williams’ gloves touched the canvas each time so they went into the books as knockdowns.

“I think it was a great win for Foster, because he looked so bad when he fought on ShoBox last time outdoor in Las Vegas,'Farhood sagde. “And this kind he showed the kind of skills that enable him to be a good amateur. He showed the kind of skills that will make him a legitimate prospect as a pro. It was a very good win for him. He showed speed. He showed his movement, his boxing abilities and he scored four knockdowns, and you can’t ask for much better than that.”

 

“This is a huge relief for me,’’ Foster said. "Jeg føler stor. I think people saw a glimpse of the kind of fighter I can be i aften. That wasn’t me in my first ShoBox kamp. I don’t know if I froze under the lights or if I lost because of the cold weather outside, but I wasn’t nearly as confident for that fight as I was i aften and it affected my performance.

 

“I had a tremendous training camp, my best camp ever, which played a big part in my confidence i aften. I thank God for the opportunity to fight on national television again and I’m already looking forward to the next time.’’

The previously undefeated Williams confessed he was unable to his rhythm. “For some reason, I just could not get loose. I had a cold, but I won’t take anything away from Foster. He knocked me down, but I actually thought he pushed me down most of those times.

“I learned something i aften. I can’t do what I did. I can’t wait on my opponent. I have to attack first. I’ll be will be back.”

There were no knockdowns in the Brooker-Magda battle. One judge scored it for southpaw and local favorite going in, Magda 77-74, one had it 78-74 for Brooker and one had it 76-76 even.

 

After a few rounds of solid back-and-forth exchanges, Brooker seemed to dominate in the eyes of everyone but the judges. Den ShoBoxannouncers had Brooker a close but clear winner and the fans booed the decision. According to SHO STATS, Brooked outpunched and outlanded Magda by a significant margin. Brooker landed 152 af 481 punches (32 procent) while Magda connected on 78 f 268 (29 procent).

Brooker was visibly upset with the verdict.

 

“I don’t train eight hours a day, seven days a week to get this kind of decision. That was not a draw, I clearly won the fight,'' Sagde han. “I don’t want to take away from Magda. He’s strong fighter and he countered well, but I showed everybody that hard work beats talent any day.

“I won this fight. I was the aggressor. I threw some big punches. My right was key. In the beginning Magda was fast, but I placed my punches and I know I did enough to win the fight.’’

 

“I feel OK, but this was a tough fight,” said Magda. “He stayed on me and pressed forward, which we knew he would. But he was stronger than I thought. I’ll have to watch the tape again, but I thought I landed the more effective punches.’’

Here’s what the fighters said Torsdag:

 

ADAM LOPEZ

 

“This is my third time on ShoBox and my third fight against an undefeated fighter. They like to match me tough but I must confess, Jeg ser virkelig frem til det.

 

“I know I only had 14 slagsmål, but I truly feel I feel I’m ready for a major fight or a title shot at the end of year. I have a strong amateur background, so I have experience. There are a lot of good fights right now at 122 pounds. The division is hot.

 

“I fought at 118 last time so I can make that weight if the right opportunity comes, but I am strong at 122. I thought I clearly won my last fight. I don’t think it was as close as the judges said it was.

 

“I’m fighting a guy, Munoz, who is sort of a mystery to me. I’ve seen one tape of him, but it was from 2012. So I don’t really know how he’s fought recently.

 

“He seems to want to box and slug. He’s had some good performances in the past and fought some good ones so I won’t take nothing away from him and I do respect him.

 

“But I’m prepared to make the fight and be aggressor if necessary, and to win it any way that I have to. Min træner [former two-time world champion Carlos “Famous” Hernandez] continues to work on all the little things, and trains me for anything that might come my way..

 

“I feel that I’ve moved from prospect to contender, but a victoryi morgen night should prove that to everybody.”

 

MARIO MUÑOZ

 

“This is my first fight in nine months and first in America, which is very exciting. You have to fight in the United States eventually; this is where you become known.

 

“I know that I’m in top shape. I’ve fought some good guys in my division, and I’m at the level I need to be. I had a really hard training camp; I know what I’m supposed to do.

 

“I’m grateful for this opportunity. I know a lot of people haven’t heard of me, but I promise you a good fight.

 

“I’m more of a boxer than a puncher, but I love to exchange and switch stance to southpaw, although my trainer doesn’t like it.

 

“Lopez is very fast, smart and has a great left hand. But I’m ready for all that. I’ll look at what he has to offer and counter with my best.

 

“I’m a little nervous. Things are moving fast now. But I couldn’t be more ready.’’

 

RONALD ELLIS

 

“I’ve been working for this sort of opportunity since I was 13, så, ja, I am very excited. I want to win and look good doing it so promoters and television will want to see me again.

 

“I’ve had problems in the past getting opponents, so I’ve taken a few ‘stay busy’ fights. But this fight is a totally different story.

 

“Everyone says I’m a boxer-puncher, and I do feel I am versatile. I’ll decide how I want to go the night of the fight. We know how Jerry’s gonna fight so I need to fight him smart. We’ll see how Odom’s chin is because it’s going get tested i morgen nat.

 

“I only had 24 amatør kampe, but I am dedicated and continuing to improve with each fight. It will be a great night for me. I’m looking forward to putting on a good show.’’

 

 

JERRY Odom

 

“Everybody has to make changes so I have a new trainer, Kennie Johnson, for this fight. He has been trying to stress finesse, movement and utilizing my overall skills more, with less emphasis on just trying to load up and knock the guy out.

 

“We’re working on me picking shots, breaking down opponents and setting up the power shots rather than just show it. Defensively, he’s had me working on my overall movement, head movement in particular.

 

“I’m looking to shine på fredag, especially after my last ShoBox fight that I lost. I should have never taken the fight once he came in so overweight. It was a bad business decision on my part, but I learned – no more thinking with my heart.

 

“I got over my last fight right away and I’m anxious to do my job and show how much I gained and learned from it. I certainly feel ready. My only focus is to win.

 

“Ellis should be a good opponent for me. Obviously he has power, a good jab and punches. There are some good things about him, but I’m better. I’ll go out and execute, he won’t be able to stop me.’’’

 

LAVISAS WILLIAMS

“I’m naturally lefty … I’ve sparred against ambidextrous boxers, so I like to say I’m ready for anything that comes my way.

 

“I’m excited to be debuting on national television. That’s a pretty big deal for me so I need to put a great show. Especially for my fan base back home, they are all going to be watching.

 

“I take boxing seriously. I like to say I’m very dedicated. I take advantage of any opportunity I see. I trained at Mayweather Boxing Gym in Las Vegas for a bit last year. It was a good experience.

 

“My job is to frustrate him and trust me, Jeg vil. He will fight my fight. If he freezes again, I’m sure taking advantage of that, but I’m not counting on it.

 

“I’m going in knowing I’m the better boxer, but not overconfident. You can’t overlook anybody, but I know I’m the one that’s coming out victorious.”

O’SHAQUIE FORSTER

 

“I don’t know what happened in my last fight. I thought everything was OK but I just couldn’t find my fight rhythm. I couldn’t get off for some reason. But I am done thinking about that night.

 

“I’m definitely more focused this time around and in better shape. I need a win – and I’m fighting a guy who beat the guy that beat me, Samuel Seah. Så, I have to be smart. He’s a southpaw but I can deal with that.

 

“I’ve never worked so hard in camp. I left Texas to go to Washington D.C. to train for this. Jeg er 100 percent set to go.

 

“I need a challenge and this is it. I’m ready to step up and I’m ready for him.”

 

 

JOHN MAGDA

“I’m excited and ready to go. Right now I’m looking at this as just another fight, but it’s definitely a big, big deal. I’m hoping to win and put on an exciting show.

 

“I’ve been in the gym training since November but a series of unfortunate events took place and I didn’t fight that month, or in December, or in January. Så, I’ve been training for a while. Jeg er klar til at kæmpe.

 

‘I’m in with a rough, hård fyr. I can’t let him bully or push me around; I just can’t let him stand and throw.

 

“I need to box, move, do a lot of things I know I can do. I have to see how it plays. It’s all just a matter of me doing what I am supposed to do, whether it is to box or slug. I’m ready for it.’’

 

CHRISTOPHER BROOKER

 

“I love being the underdog; I’m accustomed to it. That’s why I work so hard, remain dedicated and will not ever quit.

 

“Magda throws a lot of punches, so you can’t expect him to stay on the outside. But I run 15 miles a day, three days a week after sparring, to get into the kind of shape I need to be in and am for this fight.

 

“This is my first fight against a southpaw, but I’ve had southpaw sparring, including some recently with [tidligere verdensmester] Andre Dirrell. I learned so much from him.

 

“I’m a Philly fighter through and through: I may not be a favorite to win, but I come to war and will never give up. That’s a lot like the way I grew up when living in foster homes — and later, hjemløse, for some time. I just not give up, I keep on fighting.

 

“There’s a lot on the line for me denne fredag and I am ready to show what I can do.’’

After Sensational Victory over Donovan Dennis, The Sky is Now the Limit for Heavyweight Slugger Jarrell ‘Big Baby’ Miller

Efterlad en kommentar

 

Promoter Greg Cohen of Greg Cohen Promotions says he could not be happier with the performance turned in last Friday night by the fighter he co-promotes (with Dmitriy Salita of Salita Promotions), undefeated heavyweight slugger Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller.
Miller, nu 16-0-1, 14 KOS, showed both his frightening power and excellent boxing skills while scoring a brutal TKO 7 over an extremely game Donovan Dennis. Fighting in the co-main event of a nationally televised ShoBox: The New Generation from the Casino Del Sol in Tucson, Arizona, Miller made believers out of many by displaying depth and ring intelligence to go with his sledgehammer fists.
“Jarrell showed he’s not just a big puncher,” sagde Greg Cohen. “He showed the ability to change up his game plan during a fight. That’s very important at the higher levels of the division. He nearly took Dennis’ head off in the first round, but when he saw that somehow he was going to survive for a while, he switched up to boxing and re-established his dominance that way. It was exactly what he should have done in there.”
Miller, who won the NABA Heavyweight Championship with the victory, is now in line for an even higher-profile showdown with a rated contender.
“Jarrell is a force to be reckoned with and with his power, skill, athleticism and charisma, he can become a worldwide star and be the man to restore the heavyweight division to its glory of yesteryear,” fortsat Cohen. “People love him and can’t enough of him!”
Cohen says that even though Miller called out the champions of the division after the victory, the probable next step will be a top-ten fighter in one of the sanctioning organizations.
“We believe he can beat any of the champions right now, i dag. But to get him there we will have to next focus on someone rated above him and take their spot by force. But I have every confidence we are less than a year away from getting Jarrell the world title shot he wants more than anything.”

UNDEFEATED MIDDLEWEIGHT ROB BRANT SCORES IMPRESSIVE KO OF DECARLO PEREZ IN NIGHT OF KNOCKOUTS FRIDAY ONSHOBOX: DEN NYE GENERATION

Unbeaten Heavyweight Jarrell Miller Calls Out Heavyweight Champs After Brutal KO: VIDEO: http://s.sho.com/1Vfnk7K

TUCSON, Ariz. (Jan. 22, 2016) – Undefeated middleweight prospect Rob Brant scored the most impressive victory of his career with a fourth-round knockout of Decarlo Perez in the main event of ShoBox: Den nye generation, bor på SHOWTIME på fredag from Casino Del Sol in Tucson, Ariz. VIDEO HIGHLIGHT: http://s.sho.com/1QqySWm

 

Known more for his boxing prowess, Brant (19-0, 12 KOS) displayed impressive power. After a big first round, in which he threw 97 punches and more of the same in the second, Brant floored Perez with a straight-right shot midway through the third.

 

The Minnesota native kept on the gas in the fourth and landed another straight right that sent Perez falling straight back partially through the ropes. Perez (15-4-1, 5 KOS) awkwardly landed back into the ring and referee Rocky Burke instantly ended the fight at :39.

 

“The game plan was to be aggressive,” Brant said. “We knew we wanted to show him our power early and make him respect us right away. When I caught him with the right on the temple in the third I knew we had him. And then when I connected in the fourth it was lights out, game over. I just want to get back in the ring as soon as possible and continue making progress.”

 

Perez, who entered the fight coming off an impressive win over previously undefeated Juan Ubaldo Cabrera last August on ShoBox, said he just got caught with a good shot.

 

“I just got caught,” Perez said. That’s all that happened. I didn’t see the shot coming and he was speedier than I thought. He’s fast and he got me with something I wasn’t ready for.”

 

SHOWTIME analyst Steve Farhood was surprised by Brant’s performance.

 

“Brant showed a dimension we hadn’t seen before,"Farhood sagde. “He’s thinking man’s fighter who fought an angry fight. Og, as result of that, you have to put him near the very top of the list of middleweight prospects.”

 

Undefeated heavyweight prospect Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller floored Donovan Dennis twice in a thoroughly dominating seventh round TKO (2:31) i ShoBox co-feature.

 

Miller (16-0-1, 14 KOS), who went past the sixth round for the first time in his career, landet 52 procent af hans magt skud. The Brooklyn native scored two knockdowns in the first round – the first with a devastating looping right, the second with a straight to the chest – and had Dennis nearly out on his feet in what looked like a certain first-round finish.

 

The southpaw Dennis (14-4, 11 KOS) somehow survived the round and actually pushed Miller into uncharted waters. Dennis had some moments where he out boxed his opponent, but Miller’s power and size – a 56 pound weight advantage – was the deciding difference. Dennis was breathing through his mouth and gasping for air when referee Tony Zaino wisely halted the contest as “Big Baby” teed-off on his defenseless opponent.

 

“I had him out in the first round, but I threw my shoulder out throwing a left hook,” Miller said. “I was looking for the knockout so bad he started catching me with some shots. So then I decided to box a little bit and that’s what I did until the knockout came.

 

“I’m glad it went seven rounds. It taught me to go to Plan B. I can box beautifully when I want and I showed some of that i aften. It was good experience. My power was there; my wind was good. I was breathing well and seeing the shots.”

 

Efter kampen, Miller called out the two American heavyweight world champions.

 

“Charles Martin, I’m coming for you. Deontay Wilder, I’m coming for your Alabama BBQ.”

 

In the locker room after the bout, Dennis admitted that he was surprised by Miller’s boxing ability: “He’s a better boxer than I thought he would be. That surprised me.”

 

Ved indledningen anfald af telecast, undefeated welterweight prospect Bakhtiyar Eyubov impressed with a dominating demolition of the durable Jared Robinson with a third round TKO (:56).

 

Yeyubov (10-0, 10 KOS), who scored three knockdowns in three rounds, recorded his 10th knockout in his 10th career professional fight. The hard-throwing Eyubov landed a staggering 57 percent of his power shots while throwing only three jabs in the fight. The Kazakhstan native scored two knockdowns in the first and one in the third over the veteran Robinson (17-3-1, 17 KOS), who was only the second opponent to push Eyubov into the third round.

 

“Was I surprised at how easy it was? Do Not, I can’t believe he made it to round three,” Eyubov said. “The ref should have stopped it earlier. I am much smarter than I was before. I expect more of myself now. It was another step forward and I promise everyone all my fights will be like that. I am like (Arturo) Katte.

 

“My trainers are teaching me to move my head, and I’m confident that no one can hurt me. I will never ever be knocked down.”

 

Yeyubov, who entered the ring with a “papakha,” explained his cultural dance following the knockout win.

 

“The dance and the hat are traditional Kazakhstan traditions,” Eyobov said. “I was honoring my countrymen with that dance. And the hat is a symbol of my honor. No one can take that hat from me. "

 

Den ShoBox tripleheader will re-air on Mandag, Jan. 25 på 10 p.m. OG/PT på SHOWTIME EXTREME og vil være tilgængelig på SHOWTIME ON DEMAND® begynder lørdag, Jan. 23.

Tickets for the GH3 Promotions event are priced at $25, $50, $75 og 100 og kan købes online på www.Ticketmaster.comand over the phone at 1 800 736 1420.

 

An excellent boxer-puncher and tactician that likes to counter, Lopez won his ShoBox debut in his outing before last with a close, hard-fought 10-round majority decision over previously undefeated, DominicanEliezer Aquino (17-0-1 går i). Lopez is coming off a second-round TKO over Eric Aiken sidste December. 12.

 

Lopez was born in Phoenix, raised in Los Angeles and moved to San Antonio when he was 15. Han gik 125-23 in the amateurs and won six national championships before turning pro in February 2012. He’s trained by former two-time world champion Carlos "Famoso" Hernandez.

 

Munoz will be making his United States debut and first start outside of Mexico. A pro since September 2010, he’s known for his come-forward style, first-rate overall skills and proficient punching power. Han gik 140-10 i amatører, winning three national Junior Olympic tournaments and coming away with bronze and silver medals in national championships.

 

Munoz, who hails from a fighting family, has an uncle who boxed professionally. He’s the one he credits for introducing him to boxing when he was 13. This will be his first fight since he scored a lopsided eight-round decision over Daniel Franco sidste Maj 2.

 

Ellis upset highly regarded Terrell Gausha to win the 2010 Nationale Golden Gloves (Gausha would go on to represent the U.S. ved 2012 Olympiske Lege). Since going pro in February 2011, Ellis has fought in two countries (Puerto Rico, Mexico) and six U.S. cities (San Antonio, Carson, Calif., Winchester, Va., New York, Tulsa and Inglewood, Calif.). The 26-year-old has faced mostly modest opposition and has seldom come close to putting in a full night’s work.

 

Ellis had had a series of delays and restarts since turning pro but feels he’s grown from his mistakes and that he’ll be stronger because of them. For sure, his power hasn’t been affected. Alle 10 of his knockouts have come inside two rounds (eight in the first). The older brother of boxer Rashidi Ellis has won four straight by knockout, including a second-round TKO over Jas Phipps in his last start last August. 29. But he seems to be taking a sizeable step-up in class here.

 

Odom is looking to turn it around after losing two of his last three, the most recent defeat coming via a shocking third-round TKO to Samuel Clarkson (14-3 går i) på ShoBox. The heavily favored, heavy-hitting Odom was dropped three times, once in the second and twice in the third, before the fight was halted at 1:15.

 

Odom, en top amatør og 2012 National Golden Gloves Champion på 178 pounds, havde en 12-kamp win streak ende på Jan. 9, 2015, when he was disqualified against Andrew Hernandez. In the rematch the followingMarts 13 på ShoBox, Odom registered a 2:47, first-round TKO.

 

I sin ShoBox debut, Odom, who makes for exciting scraps, dropped previously unbeaten Vilier Quinonez (8-0) twice before stopping him in the seventh round on July 25, 2014.

 

Smith won his ShoBox debut in his last start on a hard-fought, eight-round unanimous decision over Benjamin Whitaker sidste November. 6 in an outdoor fight in Las Vegas. Fighting in memory of his mother who died in late September and going eight rounds for the first time, the 5-foot-7Smith, overcame a nasty cut over the left eye from an unintentional headbutt in the sixth, rallied to score a knockdown in the seventh and triumphed by the scores of 79-73 og 78-74 to gange.

 

Before turning pro in April 2010, Smith was a 2008 National Golden Gloves Featherweight Champion and 2007 Junior Olympic National Champion. His 74-2 record in the amateurs included two victories overworld-ranked contender Amir I.

Romero had 268 amateur bouts and represented the Dominican Republic at the Olympics in 2012 (he lost to Vasyl Lomanchenko). Shortly thereafter he relocated to New York. He went pro in October 2013, fought four times in 2014 and five times last year.

 

A slick 5-foot-9 boxer who can punch and gives opponent issues because of his awkward style and movement, Romero, 24, has beat up on ordinary opposition and is coming off a first-round TKO over LuisMeroles sidste December. 5. This looks to be his most daunting assignment to date.

 

Williams, 24, is a boxer-puncher who’s won seven in a row since boxing a draw in his second start in March 2013. This will be his first fight outside of New York. Making his eight-round debut in his last start onOktober. 8, he won a shutout decision over Czech Republic’s Michal Dufek.

 

Foster, 22, gets a quick-fix opportunity to redeem himself after losing hisShoBox debut on an eight-round unanimous decision to underdog Sam Seah (6-1) på den November. 6 card in Las Vegas.

 

A highly decorated amateur, the 5-foot-8½ inch Foster advanced to the 2012 US. Olympiske Lege Trials, hvor han tabte til ubesejrede pro udsigten, Joseph "Jo-Jo" Diaz. Inden da, Foster was a 2011 Houston Golden Gloves og 2010 PAL National Champion, a five-time Ringside National Champion and two-time National Junior Golden Gloves Champion.
