SHOBOX ALUMNI TIMOTHY BRADLEY JR., DEVIN HANEY OCH JARON ENNIS RAVE OM RISKANDE PROSPEKT BRANDUN LEE AHEAD OF HANS SHOBOX: DEN NYA GENERATIONEN HUVUDSTÄLLS DENNA FREDAG

Lämna en kommentar
DAG I KAMP: Brandun Lee är nu tillgänglig: Klicka HÄR Att titta på



NEW YORK – March 10, 2020 - Den stigande knockoutkonstnären på 140 pund Brandun Lee har ett växande rykte inom boxningsporten och kan räkna tre fullbordade och dekorerade proffs bland dem som tror att han är avsedd för toppen. Tidigare mästare i två divisioner Timothy Bradley, Jr, lätta mästare i fördjupningen Devin Haney, och topp vältervikt utsikterna Jaron Ennis har sett Lee på nära håll och tror att han snart kommer att vara ett hushållsnamn bland boxfans.



Den obesegrade superlätta Lee (18-0, 16 Kos), who was the subject of the latest installment of SHOWTIME Sports’ DAG I KAMP digital video franchise, will headline his first ShoBox: Den nya generationen when he takes on Camilo Prieto (15-2, 10 Kos) in a 10-round super lightweight bout on Friday, Mars 13 leva på SHOWTIME
(10 ET / PT) från Grand Casino Hinckley i Hinckley, Från.



"DAG I KAMP: Brandun Lee," a 15-minute special video feature, captures Lee’s family-first mentality, emphasis on the importance of education and hunger for success inside the ring. Viewers are taken through a typical day during Lee’s training camp, which includes sparring, college coursework, cooking, a grueling nighttime workout and a FaceTime call with friend and fellow ShoBox fighter Jaron Ennis. Available for viewing HÄR:https://youtu.be/Ow04RVwkpx8



“Brandun is a beast,” said Ennis, who has fought on SHOWTIME in four of his last five fights. “He’s a phenomenal fighter and he’s going to put on a show Friday night. I think he’ll be able to show boxing fans all his skills. He’s a monster. Him being a calm and relaxed fighter sets him apart. He’s really smart as well and has great ring IQ, but you can’t forget about his power because he has the ability to end fights early.”



Bradley and Haney, who are among the list of the 81 fighters som har dykt upp på ShoBox and advanced to garner world titles, have both sparred with Lee and are amazed by the bright prospect’s talent.



Bradley, who appeared on ShoBox four times between 2006-08, including a split-decision over Junior Witter to win the WBC Super Lightweight Championship, recalls sparring with a 14-year-old Lee ahead of Bradley’s fight with Juan Manuel Marquez for the WBO Welterweight Title in 2013. Bradley’s trainer, Joel Diaz, wanted to replicate Marquez’s counterpunching ability and believed Lee’s hand speed and counterpunching were credible.



“Lee and I sparred four complete rounds and, boy, was I impressed with his ring IQ, fart, timing and movement,” said Bradley. “For a young man with no pro experience, he was able to hold his own. Brandun is from my area so I follow him from afar and I really admire his game. He’s undefeated and that’s not surprising at all. I believe Lee has the goods to become a world champion and at this point he is still gaining experience and momentum towards his dream.



“There are still questions that need to be answered by Lee. How will he respond if he is ever knocked down? How will he do against someone just like himself; någon obesegrad, akter och lika hungrig? Det kommer att bli kul att titta på honom när han fortsätter sin resa. Han har förmågan att stiga till toppen men vi vet alla att det kräver mer än bara färdigheter. Han är på rätt kurs och jag stöder honom 110 procent. "



Haney, som rubrikerade serien för prospektutveckling vid tre olika tillfällen, fortsatte att vinna en världstitel vid en ålder av 20 och anser att Lee också har möjlighet att gå upp i rankorna ganska snabbt.



”Om du inte har hört talas om Brandun Lee, du kommer väldigt snart,Sa Haney, nu 21 år gammal. ”Han har talang och kraft att göra lite riktigt brus i välterviktdivisionen. Jag sparrade honom tidigare och litar på mig, han är en riktig hund. Jag ser fram emot att titta på i mars 13 och jag förväntar mig att min kille kommer att få en hel del föreställningar ShoBox: Den nya generationen."



Lee har också sparred med Oxnard, Kalifs Mikey Garcia, som har kämpat på SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING sex gånger, och Mauricio Herrera, som tappade ett nära beslut till den då förenade mästaren Danny Garcia på SHOWTIME i 2014.



Fredagens fyra-fight ShoBox telecast inkluderar fem boxare som ännu inte har smakat nederlag med en totalrekord på 107 vinner till bara fyra nederlag och två oavgjorda. I co-featured bout, obesegrad Brian Norman Jr. (16-0, 14 Kos) sätter sitt perfekta rekord på linjen när han tar på sig Flavio Rodriguez (9-1-1, 7 Kos) i en åtta-runda vältervikt matchup.

I will always win.”

Fight night is like a holiday for me because the time has come for which I was preparing.”

Hunter, 27, återgår till Sam’s Town Live efter en imponerande 2019, in which he won a decisive 10-round unanimous decision against Cameron Krael and scored an upset victory over former amateur standout Sanjarbek Rakhmanov. He comes from a family of fighters, he’s the younger brother of heavyweight contender Michael Hunter and his father was a well-respected boxer who sparred with Mike Tyson. Hunter has spent the entirety of his training camp at Prince Ranch Boxing Gym in Las Vegas, where he trains alongside undefeated welterweight Blair Cobbs.



Here is what Hunter had to say about his recent training camp and upcoming battle with Hawkins:



On his opponent…



“This is my time to shine. Hawkins is a good fighter, he is talented, but he stands in my way. I am not just fighting for myself, but for my family. Om du tittar på min post, I’ve fought some very tough guys. I know I’m battle ready to take my career to the next level. Hawkins is going down. I am going to make people respect the Hunter name once again



“I have nothing bad to say about Malik Hawkins. He is a hard-working fighter. I just feel that I am better. Detta är min tid, and no one can take this opportunity away from me. The problem for Hawkins is, I have trained harder than ever to get the win. I am more focused than ever.”



On training camp…



“I wanted this camp to be very specific. I get good sparring at Bones Adams’ gym and a lot of top pros have come through there like Shakur Stevenson, Manny Pacquiao, and many others. I have watched how they trained, and I have used that same work ethic and principles for this camp with the supervision of my coaches.”



On his status as a contender…



“I’m now ranked 13 genom WBA, which makes me a contender. I must get past Hawkins, so believe me when I tell you I’m going to leave everything in the ring. I’m looking at this fight like it’s a world title. Losing is not an option.”



On making his SHOWTIME debut…



“I am excited to headline on ShoBox: Den nya generationen. It’s a platform that launches fighters’ careers, and SHOWTIME has a fantastic and professional production crew. One goal from the beginning was to showcase my talent on a big stage like this, now I’m here. This is a very big opportunity for me, I’m not going to let it slip away.”



Hunter is managed by Greg Hannley of Prince Ranch Boxing, advised by former two-time heavyweight world champion Hasim Rahman promoted by Greg Cohen, Founder and CEO of Greg Cohen Promotions.

PHILADELPHIA – February 15, 2020 - Undefeated 21-year-old lightweight prospect Isaac Cruz stunnedShoBox: Den nya generationenveteran Thomas Mattice in a closely contested majority decision win in theShoBoxmain event Friday night from 2300 Arena i Philadelphia, Pa. Watch the fight highlightsHÄR.

Kors, av Mexico City, rode his superior work rate, a lethal body attack, and his ability to neutralize Mattice’s jab to the victory. The judges scored the fight 95-95 och 96-94 två gånger.

Cruz threw an average of 69.4 punches per round, jämfört med 57.8 punches per round for Mattice. The much shorter Cruz, standing at 5’4” ½, was fearless from the opening bell and held an 82-31 advantage in body punches connected. Mattice, 5’8” ½, was also out-jabbed 34-30. Making his sixth appearance onShoBox, Cleveland’s Mattice was hampered by another slow start, a theme in his previous appearances on the prospect development series. Through the first two rounds, Cruz held advantages of 49-15 in overall punches landed and 39-8 in power punches connected.

“We were going for the knockout but it didn’t come up so we’ll take the decision,"Sade Cruz. “I thought I won all 10 rundor. I don’t know what fight the judges were watching. Round one to 10 I dominated and I was never hurt.”

A strong finish in the 10th and final round was not enough for Mattice to salvage a draw.

“I came up short,” said Mattice. “He was the better man. He could hit a little bit. I started out a little slow, trying to see what he had. He jumped out to an early lead and I was just trying to get familiar with his power. Jag har inga ursäkter. Han var den bättre mannen ikväll. "

I co-featured bout, Ra’eese Aleem (16-0, 10 Kos) burst onto the scene in his national television debut, putting on a boxing clinic by scoring a fourth-round TKO in a scheduled eight-round super bantamweight bout over San Antonio’s Adam Lopez (19-4-2, 9 Kos).

Aleem, from Muskegon, Mich., proved to be overwhelming for Lopez, who was making his record eighth appearance onShoBox.Från öppningsklockan, Aleem attacked from all angles as a reactive and slower Lopez was unable to cope with the wide array of punches. The 29-year-old Aleem held a commanding 92-11 advantage in overall punches, including a lopsided 61-7 power punches advantage.

With blood dripping from his nose and scalp, Lopez’s corner asked referee Gary Rosato to stop the fight at 1:31 runda fyra. Watch the TKOHÄR.

“I put in a lot of hard work,” said Aleem, who now lives and trains in Las Vegas. “I didn’t see any film on the guy but knew he was a tough Mexican fighter. Once we got in there, I could see the speed difference. I could see his punches coming. I did rush some punches and made some mistakes. But it was good and I kept my hands up and my speed and movements were good. And I’m glad I stopped him. I didn’t want to go the distance.

“I want a world title fight and I’m knocking on the door. I’m hungry and I’m ready. I know Danny Roman just lost the title. Brandon Figueroa, whoever is there in the top-10 I’m ready for. I’m hungry and I’m coming and I want that fight.”

In the second fight of the four-fight telecast, Cleveland’s flashy unbeaten super lightweight Montana Love (13-0-1, 6 Kos) förbättrade sitt rekord till 2-0-1 påShoBox, putting in a professional display en route to a unanimous decision over Jerrico Walton (16-1, 7 Kos), who fights out of Houston by way of New Orleans. The judges scored the fight 78-74 och 77-75 två gånger. Watch fight highlightsHÄR

“I think Love did enough to win,” said SHOWTIME Hall of Fame analyst Steve Farhood. “The rounds he won, he won more convincingly. Love did the serious damage in the fight.”

Walton, with noted trainer Ronnie Shields working his corner, threw slightly more punches than Love, but in a fight decided by big moments, Love had more of them, speciellt i slutet rundor. Love was more accurate on his power punches (43 percent to 21 procent) and in body shots (56-23). The southpaw also hurt Walton on two separate occasions, but the 29-year-old did enough to hang on and survive the rounds.

“I give my performance a C-plus,” said the 25-year-old Love. “I could have been more active in there. I didn’t get hit a lot and I hurt him a few times but I let him off the hook.

“I was getting off good shots, and the thing I’m mad about is that the fight should not have gone the distance. I’m ready for whatever’s next. My team is trying to get me to 135 pounds. "

Walton was making his national television debut. “I think the fight was closer than it was scored; I think it was at least a draw,"Sa han. “I don’t think the fight was 78-74. I’m very disappointed but I’m not going to stop. They’re going to see me again. This is only going to push me harder.”

With his first career loss, Walton became the 191st fighter to lose his undefeated record onShoBox, boxing’s ultimate proving ground.

In a battle of unbeaten super welterweights making theirShoBox debuts in the telecast opener, North Carolina’s Joseph Jackson (16-0, 12 Kos) handed Derrick Colemon, Jr. (11-1, 8 Kos) his first career loss. Jackson overcame a slow start to earn the unanimous decision. Poängen var 77-75, 80-72, 78-74. Watch the decisionHÄR.

The younger and more aggressive Colemon of Detroit started strong, controlling the first three rounds before the savvier and more mature Jackson commanded the second half of the bout. In rounds six through eight, Jackson out-landed Colemon 76-19 overall and 50-9 på kraft slag. Jackson’s movement and activity frustrated and tired Colemon, who went past five rounds for the first time in his career. Farhood scored the first three rounds in favor of Colemon and the final five rounds for Jackson.

“We just dug deep and got the job done,” said the 31-year-old Jackson. “I’d give my performance an eight out of 10. I know I can show better. I had about 40 people come out from Greensboro, N.C., and support me.

“I’ll fight whoever they put out in front of me next. It’s SHOWTIME and my first televised fight and first fight outside of North Carolina so it was important to put on a show.”

Friday’s fights were promoted by King’s Promotions in association with GH3 Promotions. The full telecast will replay on Monday, Februari 17 vid 10 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME ANYTIME® and SHOWTIME on DEMAND®.

The four-fight telecast was the third of fourShoBox presentations over six weeks showcasing some of boxing’s brightest young prospects in their toughest tests to date. Hall of Famer Barry Tompkins called the action from ringside with fellow Hall of Famer Steve Farhood and former world champion Raul Marquez serving as expert analysts.

DeLomba: “Training camp is going wonderful. I’m getting everything I need to prepare for the fight: näring, meal plans, and strength and conditioning. I’ve added a new strength and conditioning coach and I’ve tweaked things to adjust to Hitchins’ style. I’m ready to go and I can’t wait for fight night.”



What is your game plan going into this fight?



Hitchins: "My game plan is the same for every fight. Stay composed and be the first to strike. I’m at a point in my career where the competition is getting tougher so the main thing for me is keeping my defense tight. My defense will keep me in good shape during the fights as the competition gets steep. But overall, I always have the mindset that I’m the better, smarter, and faster fighter.



“I surround myself with champions. That’s the only way to become one and this fight gets me one step closer.”



DeLomba: “I plan to go in and fight smart; stick to the game plan my team has for me and execute it well. My goal is to overcome whatever he tries to throw at me.”



What do you know about your opponent?



Hitchins: “I don’t know much. He’s who my team picked for me so I’m just going to get the job done and take him out. På Fight Night, I’ll have a clearer idea of how to get him out. I can adjust to anything.”



DeLomba: “I know my opponent has quick hands and likes to throw speedy shots. I’m completely focused on myself and my training. I believe in my abilities as a fighter. I’m not intimidated.”



What will a victory on February 28th do for your career going forward?



Hitchins: “Another win carries me to that next level. Jag är hungrig, I come from nothing, so I stay with a chip on my shoulder. I’m appreciative of my team, Mayweather kampanjer, and to SHOWTIME for providing me with this opportunity to build my name in the sport and show the world what I can do.”



DeLomba: “A win over Hitchins will catapult me to that next level. It’s a televised bout and this will bring me the exposure I need to branch out and expose myself to a new audience. It will improve my career tremendously.”

RAEESE ALEEM



“I’m very excited to be making my televised debut on SHOWTIME, where the world will get to see my talent. I’m definitely looking forward to making some new fans. This is a stepping stone to bigger and better things.



“I feel like I’m flying under the radar. I’ve been right there with all the other rising prospects. I’m originally from a small town so I never had the proper eyes on me. I feel like I must train twice as hard as the average fighter just to be in the same conversation than these guys. But that’s just how the game is. I’m ready to show up and show out.



“It’s been a huge transition since I moved out here [Las Vegas] from Muskegon, Mich., where I’m originally from. I came out here with no family and no friends, with the sole idea to pursue my career. I took a leap of faith and it has paid off. It’s been all about business here in Las Vegas, and it’s been great. I’ve been exposed to a lot of great fighters and picked up a lot of good tips.



“Adam Lopez is a tough Latino fighter who is going to bring his ‘A’ game, and he has something to prove. He has a lot of experience. He’s been in the ring with a lot of skilled guys and current world champions. This is the type of fight I need to take the next step toward being a world champion.



“I’m an aggressive boxer who likes to throw a lot of punches. I make my opponent miss and I make them pay. I’m all-action. I’m a beast! I’m prepared to go the distance, but my ultimate goal is to get him out of there, to get the win.”
