UNDEFEATED AMERICAN HEAVYWEIGHT JARRELL MILLER TO FACE TOUGH VETERAN FRED KASSI ON FRIDAY, Август. 19 В главном событии ShoBox: НОВОЕ ПОКОЛЕНИЕ
Tripleheader from Rhinos Stadium in Rochester, N.Y.. Арии в прямом эфире 10 p.m. И/PT на SHOWTIME®
Нажмите ВОТ For Archive Images; Credit SHOWTIME
НЬЮ-ЙОРК (Июнь 30, 2016) – Undefeated heavyweight Джаррелл Миллер claims he’s America’s top heavyweight prospect. “Big Baby” will get a chance to back up his boast when he faces his toughest test to date in veteran Фред Кот в главном событии ShoBox: Новое поколение на Пятница, Август. 19.
The confident and hard-hitting Miller (17-0-1, 15 КО) and the durable and vastly experienced Kassi (18-5-1, 10 КО) возглавит тройной заголовок в прямом эфире ВРЕМЯ ДЛЯ ШОУ на 10 p.m. И/PT from the outdoor soccer venue Rhinos Stadium in Rochester, N.Y..
Two undefeated young bantamweight prospects will square off in theShoBox co-feature as world-ranked Николай Потапов (14-0-1, 6 КО) и Антонио Ньевес (16-0-1, 8 КО) meet in a 10-round bantamweight bout.
В первом бою телепередачи, undefeated welterweight knockout artist Бахтияр Эюбов (10-0, 10 КО) will face battle-tested veteran Карим Мэйфилд (19-3-1, 11 КО) в 10-раундовом спичке.
Tickets for the event presented by Salita Promotions go on sale в эту пятницу на Полдень ET и доступны на http://www.rhinossoccer.com/и HTTP://www.etix.com
“This is an amazing opportunity. I’m in the main event going against a tough opponent, and he’s definitely game to fight,” Miller said. “I’m ready to put his lights out like I do everybody else. I know he’s durable and a little older than me. He’s a tough guy and he can take a beating. До сих пор, he’s only been stopped once. I’ll be the second.
“I’m going back to basics in this camp. I’m an advanced fighter, but there are a couple of things I’ve wanted to work on. It’s easy for heavyweights to rely on power and forget about technique. You see what happened to Dominic Breazeale against Anthony Joshua? His power didn’t mean jack because there was no technique behind it. I want to be the kind of fighter who puts his technique first and power last.”
“I approach Jarrell like all young fighters,” Kassi said. “I’m a seasoned pro that has fought top-tier opponents. Jarrell will have to bring his ‘A game’ against me. He’s got size and power, but it’s nothing I haven’t seen. I’m tired of getting robbed by judges like in El Paso (against Chris Arreola), and in Alabama (against Dominic Breazeale). That should have been me fighting Anthony Joshua in The O2. Against (Hughie) Ярость, the cut saved him. Another round or two and he would have been done. Then we heard what we always hear, ‘oh, Fury had a bad night, so did Breazeale, so did Arreola.’ They all seem to have ‘bad’ nights when I’m in the other corner. I’m hoping to actually get some credit when Miller has a ‘bad’ night too. I’m a heavyweight boxer, that’s boxer underlined. I move my feet, I use angles, I hit and don’t get hit. That’s boxing and it’s my art. Boxing fans are going to have a great time watching me dismantle a giant.”
“I am very happy to be back on SHOWTIME fighting the best opponent of my career,- сказал Эюбов.. “I know this will be my hardest fight to date and that’s what motivates me. I am grateful that I am getting an opportunity to prove myself and I want to show that I am ready for the best fighters in the world. I am ready for the boxing world to know my name. Август 19, Карим Мэйфилд, here I come.”
“This will be a special event at Rochester Rhinos soccer stadium. We have America’s brightest heavyweight contender in Jarrell ‘Big Baby’ Miller and a knockout sensation out of Brooklyn by way of Kazakhstan in Bakhtiyar ‘Bakha’ Eyubov,” promoter Дмитрий Салита сказал. “This show has all the ingredients to be one of the most talked about boxing events of the summer, and we think Miller has all the skills and charisma to break through in the heavyweight division. I am grateful to SHOWTIME and Rhinos Stadium that boxing fans will witness talented fighters in their toughest fights to date. I look forward to an explosive night of boxing.”
“Wendy and I are so excited to be hosting both SHOWTIME and the fighting debut of Jarrell ‘Big Baby’ Miller at Rhinos Stadium,"Сказал Венди и David Dworkin, owners of the Rochester Rhinos soccer stadium. "Август 19 will be a great opportunity to showcase our stadium and the City of Rochester to a nationwide audience.”
The menacing Miller, a 6-foot-4 Brooklyn, N.Y.. родной, is a consensus top 15 heavyweight – he’s ranked No. 8 в WBO, Не. 9 в WBA и нет. 14 в IBF. The 27-year-old former professional kickboxer has knocked out six consecutive opponents as he’s risen through the rankings as one of America’s top heavyweight hopes. Prior to Miller’s knockout of Ник Guivas на Мая 27, his previous two fights were onShoBox – a third round destruction of Ахрора Muralimov last October and a knockout of Донован Деннис in January in which he was pushed to the seventh round for the first time.
Kassi has been in with some of the most recognizable names in the heavyweight division, в том числе Амир Мансур, Доминик Breazeale и Hughie Fury. The 36-year-old fought to a disputed majority draw with three-time world title challenger Крис Арреола last July on PBC on CBS in which most ringside observers, в том числе ShoBox аналитик Стив Farhood, had Kassi winning by a wide margin. The New Orleans resident has been stopped just once – in 2014 by Mansour – and stands as an excellent barometer for Miller’s progression as a legitimate contender.
The fast-rising Potapov, of Potolsk, Россия, is ranked in the top 15 in three of the four sanctioning bodies (Не. 7 WBO, Не. 13 IBF, Не. 14 WBA) after just 15 Профессиональные бои. A former amateur standout with over 200 бои, the 25-year-old Potapov has already gone at least 10 rounds seven times since turning professional in 2010. The only blemish on his record is a draw with undefeated prospect Stephon Молодая в своем последнем бою Апреля 15 на ShoBox.
Coincidently, the only blemish on Антонио Ньевес’ record is a 2015 draw with Stephon Young. The 29-year-old is coming off his first 10-round performance, a unanimous decision over then once-beaten Оскар Мохика июня 18. The Cleveland, Ohio native will face his toughest opponent to date in fellow unbeaten Potapov in the matchup of unbeaten bantamweights.
The Brooklyn-based Eyubov has passed every test he’s faced, and knocked out all of his opponents in the process. The 29-year-old native of Kazakhstan is coming off an impressive third-round stoppage of veteran Джаред Робинсон last January on ShoBox. Eyubov will step up his level of opposition when he faces Karim Mayfield, a 35-year-old veteran who owns wins over Маурисио Эррера и Стив Форбс and has never been stopped in 23 бои.

“Reynoso is a good fighter from Argentina. He is in Canada now, so I am sure he is getting good sparring there. He is kind of wild, but guys like that are hard to fight because you don’t know where the punches are coming from, but we will be prepared for anything.”
Born in Phoenix and raised in Los Angeles, Lopez moved to San Antonio at 15. Он пошел 125-23 in the amateurs and won six national championships before turning pro at 21 в феврале 2012.

“I am glad to be on ShoBox снова. I showed the fans a little bit in my last fight. They can expect the same thing but a little bit more on Июль 22.''

“Everything is going good,’’ Foster said. “I’ve been doing a lot of conditioning. Я в лучшей форме в моей жизни. Chinea has a good jab and I know he will be in a good shape.

“I treat every opponent the same,’’ Chinea. “I give everything I got and I leave it all in the ring. I know Foster was a good amateur. I know he can box and I know he has some pop.
“This is the moment I’ve dreamed about since I started boxing at 14. My main goal is to tune out the crowd and win. I want to be a main event fighter on SHOWTIME and this is the first step.’’
Khiary Gray-Pitts vs. Ismael Garcia: Eight-round super welterweight bout
Серо-Питтс, 23, will be boxing on ShoBox Впервые. Ambidextrous with quick hands and feet, Gray-Pitts turned pro in June 2014. He fought three times that year, eight times in 2015 (8-0, 8 КО, seven in the first, one in the second) and this will be his third fight in 2016.

MIKEY GARCIA vs. ELIO ROJAS
“I expect to pick up right where I left off,” Garcia told SHOWTIME Sports reporter Джим Грей last Saturday on CBS. “I was a world champion, I was undefeated, and I still am. I didn’t leave because I was injured. I think I’ll come back even better. I’m hungrier now than I was before.
“I just have to get one fight in. This first fight with Elio (Рохас) will be somewhere between 135 и 140 фунты, but I want to fight at 135 and win a title there. I want to win a title there and keep going after champion after champion. Now that all that (uncertainty) is behind me I look forward to the next stage of my career. This next stage of my career will be what people remember me for.”
“Mikey Garcia is a great fighter,” Rojas said. “I want to thank him for this opportunity. We are both former WBC World Champions and I expect a great fight. Однако, all of the talk surrounding this fight has been about Mikey’s comeback and his future plans. I am no tune-up. This is also about me coming back and fighting again. He may be looking past me, but I am fully focused on him and securing the victory. I will do whatever I have to do to win, so I can move on and regain my world championship.”
Гарсия (34-0, 28 КО), Вентура, Калифорния., is 28-years-old and in the prime of his career. Once considered one of the top young boxers pound-for-pound in the world, he will make his first ring appearance since he retained the WBO 130-pound title with a 12-round unanimous decision overХуан Карлос Бургос янв. 25, 2014. Гарсия, the brother of renowned trainer Роберт Гарсия, has been victorious by knockout in 10 из его последних 12 fights and holds impressive victories overRoman “Rocky” Martinez, Хуан Мануэль Лопес, Орландо Салидо и Bernabe Concepcion.
Рохас (24-2, 14 КО), of San Francisco de Macoris, Доминиканская Республика, won the WBC featherweight world championship in 2009 with a 12-round unanimous decision over defending titleholder По Такахиро в Японии. The 33-year-old successfully defended the title against Guty Espadas Jr. в 2010, before losing the belt via unanimous decision to Джонни Гонсалес в апреле 2012. Since the loss to Gonzalez, Rojas moved up to lightweight, где он победил Robert Osiobe в августе 2014.
TONY HARRISON vs. SERGEY RABCHENKO:
“I’m thrilled to return to the ring on this big stage for my first fight in Brooklyn, and I’m ready to put on a show,” said Harrison. “Fighting for a world title is my dream and I know that I have a challenge in front of me. I’m working hard in camp to get another knockout and to make my mark on the division.”
“This is the start of realizing my dream,” Rabchenko said. “America is the Mecca of boxing so it is a huge privilege for me to be asked to fight there. American fans like to see knockouts and I like to knock people out so I think they will like what they see. I think I can build a fan base there. I am hungrier than ever. I have not seen much of Harrison, but I am ready for anyone. People say he is a very good fighter with good power. I’m not worried. I have good power as well and I think I will have too much for him.”
Как раз в 25-летней, Харрисон (23-1, 19 КО) has showed tremendous promise. He manufactured a 10-fight knockout streak from 2013 для 2015 and proved he could recover from a loss when he dominated Сесил Маккалла для 10 rounds in October 2015 и остановился Фернандо Воин in impressive fashion in March.
Fighting out of Belaraus, Рабченко (27-1, 20 КО) is looking to put himself squarely into world title contention when he makes his U.S. дебют на Июль 30. The 30-year-old is coming off stoppage victories over Walter Calvo в мае 2015 and Miguel Aguilar in February.
SHOWTIME EXTREME:
PAULIE MALIGNAGGI vs. Габриэль Bracero:
“I feel truly blessed to have yet another opportunity to fight in Brooklyn,” Malignaggi said. “I have known Tito a long time and I know he always comes to fight. We will give the Brooklyn fans a great appetizer before the terrific main event later that night in Barclays Center.”
“I’m looking to make a statement by winning this fight,” said Bracero. “Paulie and I have been friends since the amateurs and I’m thankful to have this opportunity, but he’s had his run. Now it’s time for me to have mine. This fight is going to change my life.”
Бывший чемпион мира в 140 и 147 фунт-, the 35-year-old Malignaggi (35-7, 7 КО) will return to the ring to fight at Barclays Center for the fifth time. He has faced a slew of big names throughout his career and has been victorious over the likes of Заб Джуда, Vyacheslav Senchenko и Pablo Cesar Cano. Родился и вырос в Bensonhurst в Бруклине, “The Magic Man” was victorious twice fighting in his birth country of Italy last year after unsuccessfully challenging unbeaten Дэнни Гарсия в августе.
Another Brooklyn-native, Брасеро (24-2, 5 КО) comes off of a sensational one-punch knockout of rival Дэнни О'Коннор in their rematch last October. The 35-year-old owns victories over Дмитрий Салита и Павел Миранда in addition to his first triumph over the previously unbeaten O’Connor in 2011.
IVAN REDKACH vs. TEVIN FARMER:
“I am extremely happy to be back in the ring on a big show in New York,” Redkach said. “There are so many Ukrainian fans in New York and I am thrilled to have their support and will put on a great show for them. I want to thank Leo Santa Cruz and his team for having me in their camp as we both prepare ourselves to put on tremendous performances come Июль 30."
“I couldn’t be more excited about this fight,” Farmer said. “This is my Barclays Center debut and it is going to be a spectacular performance. I have called out anyone and everyone in the 130- pound division to no avail, so now I’m moving up to 135 to take on Redkach, one of the most feared punchers in the division. Redkach is an aggressive guy and I know he is coming to fight, but there is no way I leave that ring without my hand being raised. This is a fight where I can and I will make a major statement. I’m willing to fight whoever they put in front of me to inch closer to a world title opportunity and Июль 30 is another step in that direction. I tip my hat off to Redkach for giving me this fight, but this is my time to shine.”
Родился в Украине, но борется из Лос-Анджелеса, REDK (19-1-1, 15 КО) began boxing at the age of six and has put together an impressive career since turning pro in 2009. The 30-year-old owns victories over Тони Луис, Сергей Гулякевич и Якубу Amidu. Совсем недавно, Redkach knocked out Erick Daniel Martinez в октябре 2015 and fought to a draw with Луис Крус в апреле.
Изображение боевого города Филадельфия, Фермер (24-1-1, 5 КО) выиграл 14 bouts in a row since losing to unbeaten world champion Хосе Педраса в 2012.
