After picking up world titles at 130, 135 y 147 libra, Broner earned a belt in a fourth weight division (140 libra) en octubre 2015 when he defeated tough Russian Khabib Allakhverdiev via a stoppage in the 12º round in his last hometown appearance.

KRIEGEL: “You’ve been around a lot of death. You’ve seen a lot.”

Broner: “Yeah.”

KRIEGEL: “Do you care to remember for me?"

Broner: “I remember, but I try to forget. Ya sabes, I found out the hard way. And I’ve seen that I gotta maneuver different and that’s why I’m maneuvering differently. That’s why I put as many positive people in front of me as possible.”

MARK KRIEGEL: “Let me ask you about this year. It’s been a tough year for you. You did 30 days for contempt. What was that like?"

Adrien Broner: “You know, I did a year at that place. Fighting a case.”

KRIEGEL: “As a juvenile?"

Broner: “No, they tried me as an adult. Yo sólo era 17 at the time… I missed on the pre-trials. Auge. I beat it. I get out and I become Adrien Broner. My lifestyle is totally different. Y luego, un día, I wake up back in the same place—I was in one of the same [cells] I was in when I did the year.”

KRIEGEL: “What did you tell yourself?"

Broner: “I made it the best that I can make it. Pero, ya sabes, when I was in there. I used to be by myself. I used to try to be by myself as much as possible. Pero, I told them to put me in general population—because they wanted to put me in protective custody. I can’t do 30 days like that… I helped the whole unit…I just made it a better place at the time. If somebody needs something to eat, I gave them something to eat.”

Ivan Baranchyk: Un viaje poco probable de Bielorrusia a Miami, Oklahoma

Deja un comentario
Para publicación inmediata
Miami, OKAY (Febrero 7, 2017) - Cuando la potencia de peso welter junior Ivan "The Beast" Baranchyk ingresó por primera vez a un gimnasio de boxeo a la edad 12 en su natal Bielorrusia, rápidamente aprendió por qué el boxeo es conocido como el deporte más solitario.
"Se suponía que el hombre que dirigía el gimnasio al que fui era el entrenador, pero tenía un problema con la bebida.,"Baranchyk recordó. "En lugar de enseñarnos el deporte del boxeo, simplemente abría la puerta del gimnasio todos los días y nos dejaba sin una guía constante ".
Baranchyk aprendió gran parte de la dulce ciencia por su cuenta y no tuvo un entrenador estable a lo largo de su carrera amateur.. Asombrosamente, el ganó el 2009 Campeonato Mundial Juvenil y derrotó a la futura dos veces medallista de oro olímpica Robeisy Ramirez de Cuba en el proceso. Después de seguir destacando como aficionado, rápidamente se corrió la voz sobre la sierra circular bielorrusa.
Recibió ofertas de promotores de todo el mundo para convertirse en profesional y eligió firmar con Fight Promotions Inc. Baranchyk se trasladó a Brooklyn, NY después de convertirse en profesional en junio 2014. Nueve victorias después, fue emparejado con su compañero invicto Nicholas Givhan de Michigan en ShoBox: La nueva generación en el Buffalo Run Casino en Miami, OKAY. Un neoyorquino trasplantado que peleó la mayoría de sus combates profesionales en ese momento en la Gran Manzana, Baranchyk nunca había oído hablar de Oklahoma y no estaba seguro de cómo sería el entorno.
En papel, la pelea fue vista como un lanzamiento y Givhan tenía más experiencia profesional. Ambos luchadores no eran conocidos por los lugareños, pero tomó menos de medio minuto cambiar eso.. Sólo 21 segundos después de la campana de apertura, Baranchyk aplastó a Givhan con un brutal gancho de izquierda que fue uno de los mejores nocauts de 2016. La única multitud que estaba de pie en Buffalo Run estaba asombrada y quería verlo pelear allí de nuevo..
Tres meses después, Baranchyk concedió su deseo cuando hizo su segunda aparición consecutiva en ShoBox., desarmar al previamente invicto Eliseo Cruz Sesma en tres rondas. El Baranchyk lleno de acción hizo que la multitud se pusiera de pie durante todo el concurso cantando "Bestia, Bestia, Bestia ”hasta el paro.
Poco después, Baranchyk firmó con Tony Holden Productions, que promueve a Baranchyk junto a DiBella Entertainment y el mencionado Fight Promotions Inc. Desde entonces ganó dos combates más en Buffalo Run., elevando su historial profesional a 13-0 con 10 nocauts mientras captura los títulos USBA y WBC USNBC en el proceso.
"Me siento muy cómodo con la afición,"Dijo Baranchyk. "Sentí la energía en Buffalo Run al instante y estoy agradecido de que los fanáticos me hayan apoyado tanto".
Holden ha estado promoviendo peleas durante más de dos décadas y tuvo muchas atracciones para la multitud., más notablemente los ex campeones Tommy Morrison y Johnny Tapia. Pensó que lo había visto todo. Esto fue hasta que un luchador con antecedentes muy diferentes a la mayoría de sus fanáticos se convirtió en un hijo adoptivo en el 14,000 persona ciudad de Miami, OKAY.
"Es realmente especial para los fanáticos del Buffalo Run Casino y los residentes de Miami hasta el punto en que lo han adoptado como si fuera un local de toda la vida.,"Holden dijo de Baranchyk, que es miembro de la franquicia de cuatro estados de Holden Productions. “Su estilo es entretenido y a todos los fanáticos del boxeo les gustan los luchadores de acción. Es asombroso porque cuando Iván peleó aquí por primera vez en marzo 2016 era prácticamente un desconocido y ahora es un luchador doméstico ".
Baranchyk tendrá una tarea difícil cuando se enfrente a Abel Ramos de Arizona en Buffalo Run Viernes Febrero, 10 en el evento principal de diez rondas de una triple cartelera ShoBox. Ramos, 17-1-2 (12 Nocáuts), tiene múltiples victorias sobre luchadores invictos, incluido un paro en el quinto asalto de 13-0 Dario Ferman el pasado mes de mayo. Se enfrentó a una oposición de calidad y se espera que sea la prueba más grande de Baranchyk hasta la fecha..
Para asegurarse de que está en su mejor momento, la FIB #7 clasificado Baranchyk entrenó en Los Ángeles en el Wildcard Boxing Club junto al nuevo entrenador Edward Kravtsov. Con un campo de entrenamiento sólido en los libros, Baranchyk está preparado para ofrecer un desempeño sólido Viernes noche.
"Este fue un gran campamento y Wildcard es un entorno increíble. Era algo que necesitaba para prepararme para un buen rival duro en Abel Ramos. Estoy completamente preparado para entretener a mis fans en Buffalo Run Casino. Si todo sale como estaba planeado y salgo victorioso, Confío en que mi equipo me llevará al siguiente nivel.”
El ShoBox triple encabezado se transmite en 10:05 pm ET y los boletos están disponibles en la taquilla de Buffalo Run o yendo astubwire.com/event/shoboxthenewgeneration /buffaloruncasino / miami / 14075.

TWO-TIME OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST CLARESSA SHIELDS TO MAKE PROFESSIONAL TELEVISION DEBUT FRIDAY, MARZO 10 En ShoBox: LA NUEVA GENERACIÓN

TIEMPO DE LA FUNCION

® To Present Premium Television’s First Women’s Boxing Main Event As Shields Takes on Former World Title Challenger Szilvia Szabados
En vivo por SHOWTIME® From MGM Grand Detroit
NUEVA YORK (Febrero. 7, 2017) – Two-time Olympic Gold Medalist Claressa Escudos will make her professional television debut on ShoBox: La Nueva Generación, a series that has sparked the careers of 67 futuros campeones del mundo, en Viernes, Marzo 10, en vivo por SHOWTIME (10 p.m. Y/PT) desde MGM Grand Detroit Event Center en Detroit, Michigan.
Escudos (1-0) is facing Hungary’s Szilvia “Sunset” Szabados (15-8, 6 KOs), un ex retador al título mundial, in the first women’s boxing match to headline on premium television. The fight will take place down the road from Shield’s hometown of Flint, me.
Shields is the most accomplished amateur boxer in U.S. historia – Masculino o femenino – and the only American boxer to capture back-to-back gold medals at the Olympic Games.
“It is a dream come true to be the first woman to headline a boxing card on premium television,” dijo Shields. “Marzo 10 will be a historic night for boxing and all of the women who give so much to advance our sport. I am proud to be fighting for the NABF title in my second pro bout. I want to thank SHOWTIME, MGM Grand Detroit and Salita Promotions for this opportunity, and I will do everything to give my home state fans and the viewers a night to remember.”
Szabados said, “Fighters always say their next fight is the most important one of their career, but you get an opportunity like this, and it really is. This is an unbelievable dream. I am very happy to be receiving this opportunity. I know this fight is important for Claressa also, and I don’t really know what will happen in the ring. Los dos queremos ganar. Claressa has more amateur experience, but I have more experience as a professional. It’s going to be an exciting night.”
Las entradas para el evento promovido por Promociones Salita go on sale Viernes, Febrero. 10 en 10 a.m. est y tienen un precio de $250, $150, $100 y $50. They will be available at www.ticketmaster.com.
Promoter Dmitriy Salita said, “I am honored to be putting on this event at the fantastic MGM Grand Detroit, featuring American hero Claressa Shields on ShoBox: La Nueva Generación. Detroit is America’s greatest comeback city and I am thrilled that she has chosen MGM Grand Detroit as the site to fight for her first professional title on Marzo 10. Although it is just her second professional fight, Claressa has chosen a former world title challenger for her opponent, a tough Hungarian named Szilvia Szabados, a woman who knows what’s at stake if she can win that night. We’ve got a terrific card from top to bottom in support of this fantastic main event as well, featuring some of Detroit’s brightest up-and-coming prospects, as well as some national and international flavor. Detroit deserves to have world-class events such as this and I’m very proud to be able to bring it here.”
Shields won her first Olympic Gold when she was 17 years old in the inaugural women’s boxing competition at the London Games in 2012. She defended her title at the 2016 Olympics in Rio, becoming the only American boxer to defend amateur sports’ premier championship.
The 21-year-old Shields cruised to a 77-1 amateur record before turning professional last November, winning her first bout via unanimous decision on a non-televised undercard in Las Vegas. She now returns home as a headliner to take on the veteran Szabados in a six-round middleweight bout.
ShoBox analista experto Steve Farhood: “Women’s boxing in America has its best chance of revival because of the emergence of Claressa Shields. Women’s boxing is pretty big in certain countries, but it really hasn’t been a factor in the United States since Laila Ali y, before her, Christy Martin. Being the only U.S. boxer to win two gold medals, Claressa has instant credibility and star appeal and those two things are going to lead to wide exposure.
“She has a great back story, she’s an exciting fighter to watch and she’s instantly likeable.”
Simplemente pon, Shields found solace in boxing to overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges in her childhood. She’s become a vocal advocate for many social causes, including the ongoing water crisis in her hometown of Flint, women’s rights, and campaigning against sexual assault. An inspirational figure and motivational speaker, Shields represents a beacon of hope for a working-class city that struggles with violence, poverty, and everyday essentials.
In taking on a former world title challenger and fighting for the NABF middleweight championship in only her second fight, Shields continues to make immediate strides as a professional like fellow Flint native Floyd Mayweather, who won his first world title when he was 21.
Szabados challenged for a world title in July 2015 in her ninth professional fight, losing a decision to undefeated WBC Super Middleweight Champion Nikki Adler en Alemania. The native of Miskolc, Hungary has faced two former world champions, Mikaela Lauren y Noni Tenge, and has won via knockout in three of her last five victories.
In her U.S. debut, Szabados lost a 10-round decision to then-undefeated prospect Alicia Napoleón en enero 29, 2016, en Queens, N.Y. The 26-year-old has remained active since turning professional in 2014. She fought eight fights in 2016, and already has a win in 2017 via fifth round KO over Diana Marcz in January in Budapest, Hungría.

Granados has pledged to dedicate the fight to his friend and former training partner Ed Brown, who fell victim to the violence on Chicago’s West Side in December 2016.
Here is what Granados, along with his trainer George Hernandez, tenía que decir Martes:
ADRIAN GRANADOS
“We finally have a huge opportunity. I feel I paid my dues. I know Amir Imam wasn’t a fluke. And the robberies on my record were just that – robberies. You get in the ring with Adrian Granados and you’re going to get a hell of a fight.

“I wasn’t intimated by Broner when we sparred and I’m not intimidated by him now. I know I belong in this fight, at this level.

“Es una pelea dura. People are saying I’m going to have to fight like Marcos Maidana. But I’m going to be Adrian Granados and I’m going to win my way.

“With our two styles it’s going to be a firefight. It can’t be anything but exciting. I have a great team behind me and I can’t wait to make everyone proud.

“Ed Brown was the heart of this neighborhood, and now I need to carry on his legacy. This is my opportunity to do something for my career, but also this community. I have to be twice as great, for me and him.

“Winning this fight not only changes my life, but it changes a lot of other lives. Beating Broner would change the sport in Chicago.

“It’s very motivating to know that I’m an inspirational figure for people in Chicago. It helps me get through those long days in the gym, when you don’t want to get up and train. I know what I’m fighting for and I use it as motivation.
“I started fighting in high school just shadowing my friends when they went to the gym. I asked my mom and dad if I could keep going and luckily they helped me get started and get on this path to where I am.”
GEORGE HERNANDEZ, Granados’ Entrenador
“Broner puts his gloves on the same way we do. This is what we want. We want the big names. Beating Broner can get us to the next level.

“No one is going to give us anything. We need to earn it. We’re going to his backyard and we’re going to take it from him.

“This is one of the toughest areas to train in. If you can persevere through that you know you can make it in this sport. We could have gone away for camp but we wanted to stay here because it’s home. The only way to make this city better is by staying here and leading the charge and showing these kids that we can get away from that norm and bring better attention to this area.

“If Adrian can beat the hell out of this kid in his hometown that will send a message to all the kids in this community. It will let them know that you can succeed and do great things. Every kid that’s in here dreams of this opportunity. We’re ready and we’re not going to let it slip away.”

WASHINGTON, D.C.

Televised coverage on SHOWTIME begins at 9 p.m. Y/6 p.m. PT with unbeaten light heavyweight contender Marcus Browne meeting hard-hitting former title challenger Thomas Williams Jr. en un enfrentamiento de 10 asaltos.

Here is what Peterson and his longtime trainer Barry Hunter tenía que decir Martes from the Bald Eagle Recreation Center:
Lamont Peterson
“I’m going through a full-blown training camp and I’ve had a lot of energy. I think the strength will be there too but I’m an energy fighter. I like to put pressure and use my energy. Look for an improved Lamont Peterson.
“People are going to talk a lot about my layoff but honestly that only affects people who aren’t always in the gym. I have been in the gym working hard this entire time. I’ve been working on my craft. I got better and you’ll see on Febrero 18.
“Avanesyan is a good fighter. He keeps his hands up high, so even though he’s there to be hit, it doesn’t mean I’m going to get good clean shots. It should be a good entertaining fight and a good first step at welterweight for me.
“Big fights are what matters to me. When you’re coming up it’s all about winning a title. Having fought for 12 año, it doesn’t matter to me as much. The way I’m looking at is, if I get this win then I’m the No. 1 contender for the belt.
“I have no concern about ring rust. It’s not even a thought in my head. I would be shocked if that was a problem for me.
“You never know what the right time is to move up in weight, but the time is now for me to move up to welterweight and I’m happy about it. Making 140 pounds was getting tough. I think it hampered my performances a bit and that let us know it was time.
“I’ve been wanting to move up but it seemed like my opportunities were down in weight. Now I’m ready to mix it up with the best guys here.
“Para mí, it’s all about the joy of getting in the ring and competing. I want to do it at the highest level and I’m looking forward to getting big fights.”
Barry Hunter, Entrenador de Peterson
“Sometimes having time off like Lamont had is not a bad thing. It gives you space and time to work on your mental game, shore up some things you could be weak at and of course it lets you heal up. It’s served us well and I’m happy with what I see from Lamont so far.
“We always approach an opponent, no matter the record, like they are a world champion. We prepare for war. If anything less than that takes place, que así sea. We’re going to be ready. To me Avanesyan is a guy who is an obstacle in our way. If we can’t go around him, we’ll go right through him.
“We want all of the top 147-pounders. I always thought Lamont and Danny Garcia was a fight that warranted a rematch. Because it was a great fight that had a little bit of controversy around it. I still would like to see the rematch.”

It’s been one disappointment after the next, so I am truly happy to be back at home where I belong, haciendo lo que amo.”
