ATLANTIC CITY – January 11, 2020 – Claressa Shields made history yet again by claiming the WBC and WBO 154-pound world championships with a dominating unanimous decision over Ivana Habazin Friday on SHOWTIME from Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City.

Skydai (10-0, 2 Kos) nugalėjo Habaziną nuo atidarymo varpo, panaudojo stiprų smūgį ir pastovią kūno metimų dietą, dėl kurios kroatas daugiausia buvo gynybos režimu per 10 raundų kovą. Šeštame ture, a series of body shots forced Habazin to take a knee in the first knockdown of her career. It was also the first knockdown for the two-time Olympic Gold Medalist and undisputed middleweight world champion in her professional career.
Following the knockdown, Habazin continued forward but did so without throwing many punches. Habazin (20-4, 7 Kos) threw just 285 compared to 516 for Shields, who also connected on 38 percent of her power shots compared to just 18 percent for Habazin.
Per bendradarbiavimas funkcionalus bijau, welterweight sensation Jaron Ennis scored his 15oji consecutive knockout with a dominating fourth round TKO over the durable Bakhtiyar Eyubov.
The switch-hitting Philadelphia native came out with a blistering pace in the first, switching from southpaw in the opening minute while displaying his signature power and hand speed. An onslaught of perfectly timed punches floored the normally durable Eyubov for the first time in his career midway through the opening round. Eyubov (14-1-2, 12 Kos) got up but was dropped against just 20 seconds later as the torrid pace continued. Eyubov survived the round and Ennis (25-0, 23 Kos) took his foot off the gas a bit in the second, but the unbeaten welterweight still landed at will against Eyubov, who continued to press forward.
Prior to the fourth round, Commissioner Larry Hazzard warned Eyubov that he would stop the fight if he didn’t see improvement. With Eyubov still pressing forward but eating dozens of punches, referee Earl Brown stepped in to stop the fight at :34 at the instructions of the Hazzard.
Ennis now has 23 Knockouts in 25 kovoja ir 13 knockdowns over his last six fights. Through four rounds the incredibly effective Ennis landed 47 percent of his power shots.
“We knew he was coming to fight and bring pressure so we mixed it up,” Ennis said. “He was a good fighter but he wasn’t really that strong. I was getting hit a little too much but that’s how we did it to get the knockout.
“We were just setting him up for power shots. I just had to calm down, that’s all. I was too hyped. Once I calmed down and got into my rhythm that was it.
“He was taking a lot of punishment. He definitely was a great fighter though. I appreciate him taking the fight because a lot of guys don’t want to fight me.”
With another dominating performance, Ennis now sets his sights on the upper echelon of one of boxing’s deepest and most exciting divisions.
“We have been wanting all the guys,” Ennis said. “They keep running. They can’t run no more. I’m right here.”
Atidarymo bijau dėl laidoje, IBF Super Middleweight World Champion Elin Cederroos edged WBA champion Alicia Napoleon Espinosa to unify the super middleweight division in an all-action slugfest scored 95-94 three times.
Cederroos (7-0, 4 Kos) was more active from the opening bell, blaškymas 747 total punches over 10 rounds compared to 432 for the slightly more effective Napoleon Espinosa (12-2, 7 Kos). But the difference in the close scorecards was a second round knockdown that Cederroos registered with a perfectly timed check left hook in the closing moments of the second. It was the first knockdown of Napoleon Espinosa’s career and ultimately the deciding factor in the scorecards.
“I’m so happy. I showed that I can box and take a war,” Cederroos said. “But when I relaxed the punches just came. It feels so wonderful. Alicia was a great opponent.”
Napoleon Espinosa was game and hurt the Swedish Cederroos multiple times but she was largely unable to get inside against her taller opponent who consistently landed the bigger punches from a distance.
“I didn’t think I lost. I thought that it was fairly close but I thought I was ahead,” Napoleon Espinosa said. “It is what it is, but I don’t think that I lost this fight.
“I know she was strong, but I wanted a tough fight. I know that Elin is an athlete. I don’t feel that I lost. I feel like it was close.”
Napoleon Espinosa had been hoping that a win would position her for a 2020 fight with Claressa Shields at middleweight with all four of Shields’ 160-pound titles on the line.
“Congrats on the fight with Shields because that was what I was looking forward to,” Napoleon Espinosa said.
The event was promoted by Salita Promotions in association with T-REX BOXING PROMOTIONS.

Ocean Casino Resort Atlantic City, N.J.
MIAMI(Sausis 2, 2020) – Kai kalendorius krypsta į naują dešimtmetį, neabejotinas vidutinio svorio čempionasClaressa Skydaipasidalijo savo Naujųjų metų pažadu prieš būsimą akistatą prieš buvusią čempionęIvana Habazindėl penktadienį vyksiančių laisvų WBC ir WBO 154 svarų titulų, Sausis 10 tiesiogiai per SHOWTIME iš „Ocean Casino Resort“ Atlantik Sityje, N.J.
„Tikrai turiu tik vieną pagrindinį pasižadėjimą naujiems metams – jokių kompromisų,“, - sakė Shieldsas. „Tai galioja ir mano asmeniniam, ir profesiniam gyvenimui. Taip pat noriu priartėti prie Dievo ir likti nenugalėtas. Aš taip pat ketinau pasakyti, kad nustok keiktis, bet taip tiesiog nebūna“.
Skydai vs. Habazinas atvers 2020 didelių bokso įvykių metais, su Shieldsu, siekiančiu tapti greičiausiu kovotoju bokso istorijoje, vyras ar moteris, tapti trijų divizionų pasaulio čempionu.
„Labai džiaugiuosi pradėdamas 2020 m.“, – sakė Shieldsas. „Baigė Gervonta Davis 2019 SHOWTIME, tada GWOAT atneš Naujuosius metus SHOWTIME 2020. Tai bus puiki metų pradžia. Aš ateinu su trenksmu ir šaudydamas į nokautą.
„Labai džiaugiuosi, kad Jaronas Ennisas atsidūrė apatinėje kortoje, taip pat. Man, jis yra kitas Roy'us Jonesas jaunesnysis. bokso. Jis glotnus, jis turi galią, jis gali boksuotis ir yra visapusiškai atsidavęs sportininkas. Nekantrauju pasidalinti korta su juo kaip būsimu pasaulio čempionu.
Shields treniravosi Majamyje kartu su savo vyriausiuoju treneriu Johnu Davidu Jacksonu prieš debiutą, sveriantį 154 svarus, ir sugebėjo išlaikyti dėmesį bei stengėsi išlikti aštri, nepaisant dviejų atidėtų kovos..
"Aš padariau 154 svarų dar spalį iki atšaukimo,“, - sakė Shieldsas. „Po to, kai mūsų kova buvo atšaukta, Likau aktyvus ir apsirengiau tik apie 10 svarų. Paskutines šešias ar septynias savaites buvau Floridoje. Tai buvo sunkus darbas. Aš pasitempiau ir nesiimu į Habaziną lengvabūdiškai. Noriu nokauto, nes Ivana per daug kalba. Esu susikaupęs, kad būčiau susikaupęs, ir neleisdamas niekam išmesti manęs kalbėdamas nesąmones.
„Aš nebevalgau mėsos. Neturiu daugiau nei tris mėnesius, todėl dabar mano kūnas yra labiau tonizuotas. Tiesą sakant, aš jau turiu šešių pakuotę su tik šiek tiek daugiau svorio numesti. Manau, kad žmones nustebins 154 svarus sverianti mano versija. Aš būsiu labai stiprus ir labai greitas, nes iš esmės turėjau penkis mėnesius pasiruošti ir specialiai jai pasiruošti.
Nepaisant to, kad treniruočių stovykla ją veda per daugybę šventinių renginių, kuriuos gausiai švenčia masės, Shields išliko disciplinuota prieš savo galimybę kurti daugiau istorijos.
„Balansuoti tarp švenčių aš darau daugelį metų,“, - sakė Shieldsas. „Negrįžęs namo per Kalėdas sutaupiau daug pinigų, tai tikrai. Bet vis tiek kalbėjausi su visa savo šeima ir su visais bendravau. Stovykloje laikausi labai griežtos dietos ir iš tikrųjų treniravausi per Kalėdas. Savo mitybą laikau labiau gyvenimo planu apskritai, ir aš turiu savo dienas, kai aš šliaužiosiu, bet aš laikausi disciplinos“.
Prieš kitos savaitės renginį Atlantik Sityje, Shields planuoja išlaisvinti ir padaryti dar vieną pareiškimą kelyje į dar vieną čempionatą laimėtą pasirodymą.
„Nesvarbu, ką ji sako, šis sumušimas įvyko spalio mėnesį,“, - sakė Shieldsas. „Viskas, ką darau, yra atvežti jį į Atlantik Sitį. Aš ketinu ją išmušti. Aš jai skirsiu visai kitaip dėl nepagarbos, kurią ji man parodė. Aš neleisiu jai elgtis nepagarbiai su manimi ir ketinu ją išmušti, kad ją užčiaupčiau.
