UNDEFEATED AMERICAN HEAVYWEIGHT JARRELL MILLER TO FACE TOUGH VETERAN FRED KASSI ON FRIDAY, AUG. 19 主賽事的ShoBox: 新一代
Tripleheader from Rhinos Stadium in Rochester, 紐約州. Airs Live at 10 P.M. AND/PT在Showtime®
點擊 這裡 For Archive Images; Credit SHOWTIME
紐約 (六月 30, 2016) – Undefeated heavyweight 賈雷爾米勒 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 弗雷德貓 在主要事件 的ShoBox: 新一代 上 星期五, 八月. 19.
The confident and hard-hitting Miller (17-0-1, 15 科斯) and the durable and vastly experienced Kassi (18-5-1, 10 科斯) will headline a tripleheader live on 開演時間 在 10 P.M. AND/PT from the outdoor soccer venue Rhinos Stadium in Rochester, 紐約州.
Two undefeated young bantamweight prospects will square off in the的ShoBox co-feature as world-ranked 尼古拉·波塔波夫 (14-0-1, 6 科斯) 和 安東尼奧·涅韋斯 (16-0-1, 8 科斯) meet in a 10-round bantamweight bout.
在轉播的開幕回合, undefeated welterweight knockout artist 巴赫蒂亞爾Eyubov (10-0, 10 科斯) will face battle-tested veteran 卡里姆·梅菲爾德 (19-3-1, 11 科斯) in a 10-round match.
Tickets for the event presented by Salita Promotions go on sale 這個星期五 在 中午ET 和可在 http://www.rhinossoccer.com/和 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. 至今, 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) 憤怒, 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,” Eyubov said. “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. 八月 19, 卡里姆·梅菲爾德, 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 德米特里Salita 說. “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,“說 Wendy 和 David Dworkin, owners of the Rochester Rhinos soccer stadium. “八月 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, 紐約州. 本地人, is a consensus top 15 heavyweight – he’s ranked No. 8 在WBO, 別. 9 in the WBA and No. 14 在國際羽聯. 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 尼克Guivas 上 五月 27, his previous two fights were on的ShoBox – a third round destruction of Akhror Muralimov last October and a knockout of 丹尼斯·多諾萬 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, 含 阿米爾·曼蘇爾, 多米尼克Breazeale 和 Hughie Fury. The 36-year-old fought to a disputed majority draw with three-time world title challenger 克里斯Arreola last July on PBC on CBS in which most ringside observers, 含 的ShoBox 分析人士 史蒂夫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, 俄羅斯, is ranked in the top 15 in three of the four sanctioning bodies (別. 7 WBO, 別. 13 IBF, 別. 14 WBA) after just 15 專業的戰鬥. A former amateur standout with over 200 打架, 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 斯蒂芬·揚 在他的最後一戰 四月 15 上 的ShoBox.
Coincidently, the only blemish on 安東尼奧·涅韋斯’ 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 奧斯卡Mojica 六月 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 賈里德·羅賓遜 last January on 的ShoBox. Eyubov will step up his level of opposition when he faces Karim Mayfield, a 35-year-old veteran who owns wins over 毛里西奧·埃雷拉 和 史蒂夫福布斯 and has never been stopped in 23 打架.
巴里·湯普金斯 將調用 的ShoBox 從馬戲團的行動 史蒂夫Farhood 和前世界冠軍 勞爾·馬爾克斯 will serve as expert analysts. 執行製片人 戈登·霍爾 同 豐富的高根 生產和 里克·菲利普斯 導演.

“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. 他去 125-23 in the amateurs and won six national championships before turning pro at 21 二月裡 2012.

“This is a big opportunity for us and we will do our best. This is a big fight and we know we have to win. With a win, we would hope to get a world title opportunity.’’

A spirited, close contest throughout was scored 78-74 for Ellis and 76-76 每人.

培育, 22, dropped southpaw Williams four times – in the second, third, fourth and seventh rounds.

“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
灰皮茨, 23, will be boxing on 的ShoBox 首次. 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 科斯, seven in the first, one in the second) and this will be his third fight in 2016.

It’s what I’ve dreamed about since I started boxing. It’s his TV debut as well so I know he will be on top of his game. We will be preparing 100 percent for that and then some.
“I have seen a little of Gray-Pitts on tape. This will be my toughest test, as I will be his toughest test. When you have 13-0 戰鬥 10-0, it will be a good fight.’’

MIKEY GARCIA vs. ELIO ROJAS
“I expect to pick up right where I left off,” Garcia told SHOWTIME Sports reporter 吉姆·格雷 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 (Rojas) will be somewhere between 135 和 140 英鎊, 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.
