A great fight the winner of which will cement himself as one of the best in the Jr. Welterweight division,” said Dmitriy Salita, President of Salita Promotions. “The co main event is one of the best fights in the super bantamweight division between two proven world title contenders. A real cross roads fight with lots on the line for the winner to emerge as the new dominant name in the talent packed super Bantamweight division.”
The 27-year-old Ergashev (15-0, 14 KOs) is a former member of the Uzbek national team where he won 202 ve onun 216 amateur bouts. A decorated amateur, Ergashev owns a win over Uzbekistan’s Shakhram Giyasov, a silver medalist in the welterweight division at the 2016 Rio Olympics.
Ergashev, who started his pro career by registering 11 consecutive knockouts, made hisShoBox debut in January 2018, handing then-unbeaten and top-10 ranked 140-pound prospect Sonny Fredrickson the only loss of his career with a third-round TKO.

O zamandan beri, he has defeated all of his 19 rakipler, five by way of knockout. Tilki, who is promoted by King Promotions, owns victories over the likes of former world champion DeMarcus “Chop Chop” Corley, Ricardo Garcia and Anthony Mercado.
Fox comes from a family of boxers. He is trained by his father Troy and his older brother and formerShoBox fighter Alantez (24-1-1, 11 KOs) is a 160-pound prospect whose only defeat came by the hands of Demetrius Andrade.
“It’s been a dream of mine to fight onShoBox. It has catapulted the careers of some of my favorite fighters,”Fox söyledi, who is making his debut on the series. “I’m hoping it will catapult my career too.
“My opponent is a good fighter. He has good feet, good speed and great power. This is going to be a fight that can potentially steal the show. I look forward to seeing how our styles matched up.”
Hernandez (12-1, 7 KOs) broke onto the scene in 2017 with back-to-back wins over previously undefeated, top-15 ranked fighters onShoBox– a unanimous decision over Glenn Dezurn and a fifth-round TKO of Vladimir Tikhonov. Hernandez followed up those performances with a split-decision over Ernesto Garza in January 2018. The 28-year-old Hernandez, the youngest of 15 çocuklar, oldu 73-6 as an amateur and took five years off from boxing between 2009 ve 2014 to work construction jobs in his hometown of Fort Worth, Teksas.
“On February 15, fans can expect to see the best performance from Jesse Hernandez yet,” said Hernandez, who will be making his fourth appearance onShoBox. “It’s been a long time coming and I won’t let this opportunity pass me. A win over Thomas Ward will definitely boost my career and hopefully lead to a world title shot. I know I will have all eyes on me on national television, I must impress. I believe the bantamweight division is mine for the taking. So I will go head and take what’s rightfully mine.”

Watch the Haney KnockdownİŞTE
SHREVEPORT – January 12, 2019 - Devin Haney genç kariyerinin en büyük sınavını Cuma gecesi geçtiShoBox: Yeni Nesil, tekmelemek 2019 Göz kamaştırıcı bir performans ve mağlup olmayan eski Güney Afrika şampiyonu Xolisani Ndongeni'ye karşı oybirliğiyle alınan zaferle boks yılı, StageWorks of Louisiana'dan SHOWTIME'da canlı.
Haney (21-0, 13 KOs) ikinci turda nakavt yaptı ve Ndongeni'yi giydi (25-1, 13 KOs) üç jüri üyesinin puan kartlarında da kolayca kazanma konusunda mücadelenin ikinci bölümünde cezalandırıcı vücut atışlarıyla aşağı, 100-89 iki kere, ve 99-90.İkinci turda devrilmeyi görünİŞTE.
Haney, kavgadan sonra ringde SHOWTIME’dan Steve Farhood’a, bundan sonra yalnızca bir yarışmacı olarak kabul edilmek istediğini söyledi.. "Bu en iyi adamları istiyorum,"Dedi. "Şimdi beni gerçekten inkar edemezler. Bunu uzun zamandır söylüyorum ama şimdi, Ben bir yarışmacıyım. "See the post-fight interviewİŞTE.
The knockdown came at 1:30 of the second round as a Haney right hand landed flush knocking the unbalanced Ndongeni to the canvas. But it was Haney’s body shots that wore out the stubborn Ndongeni, who was fighting in the United States for just the second time. Haney badly wanted to end the fight with a knockout, even telling his father Bill Haney between rounds, “I’m going to knock him out!"
“He’s a great fighter,"Dedi Haney, who with the victory takes home the WBO Intercontinental and WBC International belts. “You don’t make it to 25-0 without being anybody. I knew it was going to be tough opponent from the very beginning. He’s a really good fighter and I didn’t choose him. That was the opponent that came up and you know me, Ben kimseyi geri çevirmiyorum. Önüme kim gelirse gelsin dövüşürüm. "
Farhood dedi 2019 Haney'in dünya şampiyonluğu için savaştığı yıl olabilir. "Daha önce görmediğimiz bir yanını gösterdiği için etkilendim.,"International Boxing Hall of Famer Farhood" dedi. "Genç bir dövüşçü için, çok yetenekli olmasına rağmen, onun her türlü durumu halletmesini istiyorsun. Etkili bir şekilde vücuda gitti ve kavga giderse 30 saniyeler daha uzun süre durduruluyor. Bir dünya unvanı savaşı mı 2019 bir olasılık? Kesinlikle. Sırf o olduğu için 20 yeterince iyi olmadığı anlamına gelmez. Onu kutudan çıkaracak kimse olmadığı açık. "
Farhood finally gave Ndongeni a round for the first time in the seventh as he used some effective body work to control the round, although never visibly hurting Haney or putting him in too much danger.
As the fight went deeper and deeper, Haney just kept getting stronger. In the final two rounds, he led 69-28 on overall landed punches (16-6 jabs and 53-22 güç). In the final minute of the final round, Haney out-landed Ndongeni 23-3 in total connects.
“I’m getting stronger with each fight and I feel my man strength emerging,” Haney said. “Ndongeni is a very durable fighter. I attribute his big heart for keeping him in the fight. I knew I was the superior fighter. I showed everyone I can fight coming forward, Ben kutu olabilir, I can bang, I do it all. Ben hazırım…no one is stopping me.”
In a battle of undefeated Rubens, eski dekore edilmiş amatör Ruben Villa (15-0, 5 KOs) Kolombiyalı Ruben Cervera'yı verdi (10-1, 9 KOs) ilk kariyeri yenilgisi, oybirliğiyle verilen baskın bir kararla, 80-72 sekiz turluk tüy sıkletli ortak özellik maçındaki üç puan kartının hepsinde.Dövüşte öne çıkanları görünİŞTE.
21 yaşındaki iki kez Gençler Olimpik Ulusal Şampiyonu ve 2014 ve 2015 Salinas'tan Ulusal Altın Eldiven Şampiyonu, Kaliforniya., Villa, daha yavaş ama kararlı bir karar zaferine giden yolda Cervera'dan daha iyi çalıştı ve daha iyi performans gösterdi.
"Büyük sahnede dövüşmek iyi hissettirdi ve çok zorlu, yenilmez bir dövüşçüye karşı zafer kazandım,"Olimpik alternatif Villa" dedi. "Üstün boks becerilerimle tüm dövüşü kontrol ettiğimi hissettim. Bir sonraki seviyeye geçmeye hazırım. Kim olurlarsa olsunlar tüm gelenleri kabul ediyorum, I feel I’m the best featherweight in the world.”
Altıncı turda, Villa got to work featuring a strong right hand and following up with jabs and combinations that seemed to buzz Cevera, who was out-landed on punches in the round 35-5.
The jab was the key weapon for Villa as he led 105-23 in connects as well as holding a 36 percent to eight percent advantage in jab accuracy. Villa exceeded double-digits in jabs in every round but the first.
The lefty Villa said visiting Riverside and spending time with noted trained Robert Garcia has helped his game. “I’ll give myself an 8 veya 9 bu gece,"Dedi. “I believe in my speed. I know there are guys like [Avner] Mares and [Aslan] Santa Cruz who people know, but visiting Riverside let me see I can step in there with anyone.”
Cevera became the 182nd career fighter to lose his undefeated record onShoBox. “I knew Ruben Villa was a very fast fighter because I saw some video of him, but I didn’t know he was that fast,” Cervera said. “He’s much faster when you see him inside the ring. I tried everything I could but my distance was off. I was able to hit them with a couple of combinations and he probably felt my power. I don’t disagree with the judges’ decision, he was the better man tonight.”
Telecast açıcıda, Cuban heavyweight Frank Sanchez (11-0, 9 KOs) overcame a 14-minute delay between the first and second rounds knocking out former college football player Willie Jake, Jr. (8-2-1, 2 KOs) at 2:59 İkinci tur. Both fighters sat calmly on their stools as local promoters worked to repair two of the ropes that had fallen from their post.Dövüşte öne çıkanları görünİŞTE.
After controlling the action in the first round, Frank’s raw punches simply overpowered the heavier Jake, catching him with a glancing right to the head and a cuffing hook to the body that caused Jake to fall face-first to the canvas and the fight was waved off with just one second remaining in the second round.
Sanchez was the more accurate fighter landing 39 percent of his power shots to Jake’s 25 yüzde. He also outlanded the Indianapolis native in total connects (28-15) and in landed power shots (20-14).
“I wanted to show the world that I’m the new Cuban boxing sensation,” said Sanchez, who grew up in Guantanamo, Küba, and now resides in Miami. “I didn’t let the ring rope delay affect my performance. I was ready to go no matter what happened. Menajerim büyük Richard Steele [eski boks hakemi] şimdiden bir sonraki kavgamı bir araya getiriyor. Ağır siklet bölümündeki herkes için geliyorum. Tüm yarışmacılar dikkat etse iyi olur. "

SON KEŞİF:
DEVIN HANEY:
“This is a 10-round fight for the WBO Intercontinental and WBC International belts, so it’s a big deal. This is a true step up for me.
“It’s important for me build a name in different areas of the country. I’ve fought in Southern California and Philadelphia, and now I’m fighting in Louisiana. This fight I will show who Devin Haney is. In this fight I’ll showcase my skills and I’ll show my full arsenal.
“My style is not a style that people want to fight. I will fight whoever is out there. We haven’t been getting a lot call backs. I’ve had other offers from all the top promotion companies, but I want to remain independent and make my own decisions.
“My opponent has an awkward style. I know he has a lot of confidence and he thinks he can beat me. That’s great for him, but he hasn’t faced anyone with my combination of speed and power.
“At the end of my career I think it would be great if the world continued to say, ‘I don’t know if he can take a punch.’ That would be the goal.”
XOLISANI NDONGENI:
“I’ve trained and sparred with guys at Mayweather’s gym in Las Vegas for four months in 2017. I learned a lot got some great experience.
“I see a young, good prospect in Devin Haney. I just have to keep to my game plan. He doesn’t realize how fast I am. I’ll show some different looks, and know what he’s planning to do. Whatever Haney brings, I’ll adjust.
“I’ve been in some deep waters and I have more rounds than Haney. That experience will pay off for me.
“I’ve been knocked down once in my career. It was early and I came back to knock him down five times and won the fight.
“Haney wants to be called a contender. I’ve been a contender and I know what it takes to be at the top level of the sport. I’ve never taken a fight I wasn’t prepared for or thought that I couldn’t win.”
RUBEN VILLA
“This is exciting and what we’ve been working toward. The contracted weight is 128 for this fight, but I’m a natural featherweight at 126. I’m a southpaw but a natural righty. I throw a lot of jabs, bu benim tarzım.
“I’m representing Salinas and want to be a world champion someday. I’m only 21 Eski yıllar, and to already be fighting onShoBox is a dream come true.
“People say I don’t have the knockouts, but it’s in my mind and they will come. The power and knockouts will come.
“I once beat Devin [Haney] by unanimous decision in the amateurs. Ben 15, and it was in the finals of the Junior Olympics. Devin’s real slick and aggressive and he moves well. That’s how you beat him.
RUBEN CERVERA
“I’ve never been to the U.S., and I love it here. The press conference and the amount of attention this fight is getting is amazing. I’m used to watching this kind of stuff on T.V. But my mind is totally focused on this fight.
“I have power in all my punches. I’m a strong fighter who has to take a step up in my career. Ben gencim, sadece 20 Eski yıllar, so I’m anxious to get my career going.
“I know Villa is a southpaw. I’ve fought lefties several times in my career and have had no problem with it.
“There is a lot of talent in Colombia, but there aren’t the resources there to have a good career. You have to sacrifice a lot and that’s what I’ve done.”
FRANK SANCHEZ
“I’m 6-foot-4 and use my height to my advantage. I defected from Cuba in 2016 and my family is still in Cuba. My brother is the only one here in the States with me.
“I’m living in Miami now and training there. That will be my home base now.
“I’d love to fight [Deontay] Wilder. I want to be world champion so maybe someday I will. His technique is a little bit wild.
“I had great amateur experience and am a former member of the Cuban national amateur team. I know that will help me. I know there’s never been a heavyweight champion from Cuba, and I plan to be the first one.”
WILLIE JAKE JR.
“Indianapolis is a tough town to be a boxer because there’s not a lot going on there.
“I played college football [for Pasadena City College] but I hurt my wrist and decided to go into the military.
"[Dürüst] is a little fellow. He needs some maturing. I know they do things differently there in Cuba, but we both are fighting for our families. I’m going to let him know he needs to be a cruiserweight.”
