馬山, 康涅狄格州. (四月. 17, 2016) – WBC Featherweight World Champion 加里·拉塞爾JR. retained his title with a remarkable TKO of Irishman 帕特里克·海蘭 星期六on SHOWTIME from Fox Theater at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, 康涅狄格州. 在共同特徵, 何塞·佩德拉薩 defended his IBF Junior Lightweight title with a unanimous decision over Stephen Smith.

 

今晚的 event was a family affair with Russell Jr. working his brother Antonio’s corner during 今晚的 undercard and boxing’s Smith brothers, including current WBO Super Welterweight World Champion Liam Smith, cheering from the crowd.

 

A relentless Russell brought the main event to a quick halt by registering three knockdowns in the second round, the last of which forced referee Danny Schiavone to end the contest at 1:33. 從第一鐘, 華盛頓, D.C. native came out swinging with his trademark hand speed and dangerous power. 羅素, 一個左撇子, successfully broke down—and knocked out—Hyland with multiple vicious right hooks.

 

“We stuck to the game plan. We stayed sharp,” said Russell Jr., 誰改進他的紀錄 27 勝, one loss, 15 擊倒.

 

“I’m ready to fight anyone in the division – Santa Cruz, 李謝肅方. We are ready. But what I really want is [Vasyl] Lomachenko. I don’t care if he moves up to 147 英鎊. I will go anywhere to get that fight,” Russell said.

 

“There aren’t many fighters who you instantly know are special,” said SHOWTIME Sports expert analyst Steve Farhood. “The combination of Gary Russell’s hand speed and accuracy instantly shows us that he’s special. That was plainly evident 今晚 and at times his hand speed was frightening.”

 

佩德拉薩 (22-0, 12 科斯) remained disciplined and came out victorious during his second IBF 130-pound world title defense. A combination of timing, hand speed and good defense allowed the Puerto Rican native to dominate the 12-round championship fight.

 

“This definitely was a tough fight but the training really came to advantage in this fight,” Pedraza told SHOWTIME Sports reporter Jim Gray. “I knew he was a tough fighter so I was always aware.”

 

“I had better focus 今晚. I had a better training camp,” said Pedraza, referring to his controversial split decision win over Edner Cherry two fights ago. “I knew that Stephen Smith was a great fighter and even after the knockdown, we were very cautious not to rush in.”

 

“Pedraza won 今晚 with different weapons. Mostly right hands to the head,“Farhood的說. “I had the fight even after eight rounds and once Pedraza dropped Smith in the ninth, he gained momentum that he never lost and he pulled away. It was an impressive performance but also an important one because it erased a lot of the negative criticism Pedraza received in his controversial win over Edner Cherry.”

 

Pedraza was the more accurate fighter, 著陸 50 percent of his power punches over the 12-round bout. The Sniper was able to pick his spots and pocket rounds once he figured out the distance. Smith had his moments, but wasn’t active enough.

 

布萊恩·卡斯特 hosted the SHOWTIME telecast, 同 毛羅Ranallo calling the action, Hall of Fame analyst 鋁伯恩斯坦 and former two-time world champion 保利Malignaggi commentating and 吉姆·格雷 報告. 在西班牙聯播, 亞歷杭德羅·盧納 called the blow-by-blow and former world champion 勞爾·馬爾克斯 served as color commentator. The executive producer of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING was 大衛·丁勤時JR. 同 Bob Dunphy 導演.

瑟曼 (26-0, 22 科斯), 克利爾沃特, 佛羅里達州。, and Porter (26-1-1, 16 科斯), of Las Vegas by way of Akron, 俄亥俄, are both coming off superb 2015 campaigns that solidified the fresh faces among the elite of arguably boxing’s most exciting division. With perennial pound-for-pound champion Floyd Mayweather now retired, the 27-year-old Thurman and the 28-year-old Porter are hungry to stake their claim as the future of boxing.
奎利亞爾 (28-1, 21 科斯), 布宜諾斯艾利斯, 阿根廷, will make the second defense of his WBA 126-pound title against Mares (29-2-1, 15 科斯), a popular brawler from Southern California who has compiled a staggering resume over the past five years while earning titles at 118, 122 和 126 英鎊.

維羅納, 紐約州. (四月 15, 2016) – Undefeated bantamweight prospects 尼古拉·波塔波夫 和 斯蒂芬·揚 fought to a majority draw in the的ShoBox: 新一代 主要事件 星期五 on SHOWTIME from Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, 紐約州.

 

The bout was scored 96-94 Potapov and 95-95 兩次.

 

Potapov and Young were facing their toughest opponents in each other. 波塔波夫 (14-0-1, 6 科斯) controlled the pace early with his jab and was the more active fighter, throwing nearly double the punches that Young threw. Young picked up steam and gained confidence in the middle rounds and was at his best when he pressed the action and let his hands go. But the Russian Potapov, who had gone at least 10 rounds in his last six fights, was clearly more comfortable as the fight progressed.

 

After slowing in the seventh and eighth, 年輕 (14-0-3, 6 科斯) found another gear in an impressive ninth, winning the penultimate round on all the judges’ scorecards. 但, even after urgent instructions from his corner, Young couldn’t carry the momentum into the 10日 and lost the final round on all three scorecards.

 

“I am very unhappy with the decision. For every time he hit me, I hit him twice,” said Potapov, 誰扔 315 jabs compared to just 113 for Young. “I was the much busier fighter. 我不知道該怎麼打法官看. At the very most I lost four rounds.

 

“I’ve never had a draw before. I feel cheated from a win. I was very happy to be fighting in America but I now feel cheated.”

 

戰鬥結束後, 聖. Louis native Young was disappointed but knew that he needed to throw more punches.

 

“I feel like it was a good fight, but I should have got the decision,” Young said. “I hurt him every time I hit him. I let him be busier than me, but as far as the contact, I feel like I landed the more effective punches. That was my strategy.

 

“I should have come on a bit sooner. That was my plan, but I got a little relaxed in the fight. I came on in the ninth round when my coach told me to get him out of there.

 

“I most definitely want a rematch. I would like to do that again.”

Facing his toughest opponent to date, Menard floored (31-1, 23 科斯) Bernardo for the first time in his career with a series of rights near the end of the second round. The Dominican Bernardo beat the count and finished the round, but he had no answer for Menard’s power. Less than one minute into third, Menard connected with a huge right, knocking Bernardo (21-1, 15 科斯) out before he even hit the canvas.

 

“I made a statement 今晚. Not many people knew who I was going into this, but they know me now,” said Menard, who landed nearly 50 他的力量，投籃的百分比. “My speed, power and footwork were the difference.

 

“I said a prayer for him in the middle of the ring that he goes back to his family healthy.”

 

Bernardo, who was removed from the ring on a stretcher as a precautionary measure, was taken to nearby Oneida Healthcare where he was awake and responsive.

 

在轉播的開幕回合, undefeated cruiserweightConstantin Bejenaru 手 阿列克謝·祖博夫 the first loss of his career in a convincing eight-round unanimous decision scored 77-74, 78-73 兩次.

 

Save for a flash seventh round knockdown, Bejenaru (11-0, 4 科斯) controlled the fight from the outset. The Moldova native overcame a four-inch height disadvantage, attacking from different angles and controlling the exchanges on the inside and outside. Zubov (10-1, 6 科斯) never got into rhythm and failed to capitalize on his reach advantage against the active and athletic southpaw.

 

“He was a good classical boxer, but he’s too straight up and he couldn’t adjust,” Bejenaru said. “It wasn’t as easy as it looked to beat him. I adjusted my style to do that because I knew it would make him hesitate. I knew if I just constantly attacked him he wouldn’t know what to do.”

 

Zubov and Bernardo are now the 146日 和 147日 boxers to suffer their first pro loss on the prospect developmental series.

紐約 (四月 13, 2016) – WBC羽量級冠軍 加里·拉塞爾JR. (26-1, 15 科斯), 國會高地, MD。, and Irish contender 帕特里克·海蘭 (31-1, 15 科斯), of Dublin, faced off at the final press conference 星期三 at Highline Ballroom in New York, as they approach 這個星期六的 Featherweight World Title fight live on 開演時間® from the Fox Theater in Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, CT.
該 精彩表演拳擊錦標賽® telecast begins live at 11 P.M. AND/8 P.M. PT on SHOWTIME with IBF Junior Lightweight World Championship clash between unbeaten Puerto Rican 何塞·佩德拉薩 (21-0, 12 科斯) 和強制性的挑戰者 Stephen Smith (23-1, 13 科斯), of Liverpool, 英國.
Here’s what the fighters had to say at 週三 final press conference.
GARY RUSSELL JR.
(On Patrick Hyland…)
“首先, I gotta tip my hat off to him. I heard him say he was being trained by his father. Me and my younger brothers are also trained by my dad. My father is my favorite superhero, so it is very hard to deal with a situation like this and to bounce back and to grind and put all the hard work and effort into it after all the heartache and loss, I gotta tip my hat off to him for that.
I know that anytime you have a fighter that trains for six to eight weeks and prepares for no one else but you, is a dangerous fight. 他的身高, 他的長, but we can take him. We’re going to handle it.”
(On returning from injury…)
“我感覺很好. 我準備好了; I put the work in at the gym. Like I said earlier, I got cussed out several times and sometimes I left the gym feeling like the worst fighter ever. 但, 現在, we’re ready and we’re prepared to invest in my ability.”
(On what it means to have his brother Antonio on the card he’s headlining…)
“It means a lot. 我對此很期待. I’m actually more looking forward to watching my brother compete than my own fight. I will definitely be working his corner in that fight. It means a lot for us to be able to pass this information down from generation to generation and watch it grow and watch us build as a family and as a unit. It’s amazing.’
“He definitely has the potential to be the best. Him as well as Antuanne, who is now on the 2016 奧運隊. It’s all information passed down from generation to generation. I feel as though they definitely have the ability to be better than me. I would want them to be anyway.”
(On what he needs to win the fight…)
“I need to maintain control of the fight, close the distance and maintain the jab. Complete dominance; I want to touch the body early. He likes to move a lot, so we’re going to cut all that down.”
(On potential future opponents…)
“God willing, everything goes right come 四月 16, we would love to unify with Lee Selby. If I had my choice, I would go with Lee Selby first to unify. Immediately after that, I want Leo Santa Cruz and after that I need Lomachenko.
“I don’t care where [Lomachenko] moves. He can lose his next 10 打架, but before my career’s done he has to see me.”
PATRICK HYLAND
(On what gives him the sense of satisfaction in boxing…)
“To fight for the WBC title is everything I’ve dreamed of since I was a kid and all of the hard work that I have put in to get to this position to fight for it. I am happy and I am just living for it now for 星期六 夜晚。”
(On being the first Irish boxer since Barry McGuigan to hold a featherweight world title…)
“It’s a whirlwind and it’s great. I’m just a local lad from Johnstown in Dublin and to be fighting on the big stage and to be fighting for a major world title, and again to be named the second featherweight ever to win a world title would be just amazing; a real dream come true for myself.”
(On Gary Russell…)
“I know he’s got fast hands. He’s a great southpaw and a great boxer so I have to be at the best of my ability 週六 night for that. I worked on a game plan in the gym to counter his hand speed and it all has to come together on fight night. I can do all this and say all that, but I just have to perform 週六 night and put it in by doing everything I’ve worked on to become champion.”
何塞·佩德拉薩
(On training camp…)
“I am feeling really good, we’re in the last stretch of conditioning. It was a very long and intense training camp but we saw improvements in my abilities. I have been waiting a long time for this day to come and we are going to demonstrate to Smith that I am a weapon.
(On Stephen Smith…)
“Smith is a very good boxer, he has a lot of abilities and intelligence. He’s a boxer with very good defense, but we already utilize a variety of strategies to be able to neutralize all of his abilities.”
(On what he plans to demonstrate 週六…)
“With my abilities, 例如 星期六, I will demonstrate that I am above Smith and that I am at the level of what I am, a champion. 總體, I just want to put on a show and I hope that the fan base will enjoy this great card.”
(On what he learned from fighting Edner Cherry…)
“I learned what I have always said and what I have always done to this very day, which is never watching. I never watch too many videos of my opponent because on the day of the fight he could be a completely different fighter and I think that is what occurred then. Aside from that, he utilized a great strategy.”
(On his thoughts on other Puerto Rican boxers…)
“Actually I am a world champion just like Rocky Martinez; there are many Puerto Rican prospects. Like [菲利克斯] Verdejo but I don’t consider him as a world title contender just yet. He hasn’t fought with a boxer of championship caliber but he is currently among the top fighters in Puerto Rico.”
(On other fights he may be interested in at 130 英鎊…)
“I have always said that the less Puerto Ricans I fight, the better. If it is the last option, I will fight with Puerto Ricans too but aside from that Rocky [馬丁內斯] the world champ, there’s Francisco Vargas, [哈維爾] 運氣, to name a few that are at the top of my list.”
STEPHEN SMITH
(On his first time fighting in the U.S….)
“我很興奮. If you want to make a name in boxing, then you’re going to do it in the states and that’s what I plan on doing by becoming a world champion Saturday.”
(On what he knows about Pedraza…)
“很好, not quite a lot. I know his name from the amateur days. He’s well established, he’s an Olympian and he’s a talented man. To fight somebody consists of winning or not, it goes beyond tactics, beyond style and beyond skillset really. I believe I have what it takes to fight anyone and nothing will keep me from becoming a world champion.”
(On what he needs to do to get the victory…)
“It can be a different type of fight; we know he likes to switch it up and box from different stances. He’s obviously talented so it’s going to take a different set from each way but we know what to expect. I’ve gone over everything with my trainer Joe Gallagher and we’re ready to go.”
(On his brothers Liam and Callum being champions and what it could mean to potentially join them…)
“It’s special. Two weeks ago Liam and Callum won a European world title and it just gives me the confidence, the spirit to hike. I’m in a really good place mentally and I couldn’t be feeling better going into it. After my boot camp going successfully, it just makes you feel better going ahead to become a world champion.”
(On UK champions on the rise in the past year…)
“There’s a lot of history there and for myself and my family, so we do what we’ve always wanted to do and we’re looking to just keep moving forward.”
TRAINER JOE GALLAGHER
(On training camp…)
“It was good. Obviously it boiled up to Callum’s win. There’s a good momentum. Callum and then Stephen has his world title opportunity. It’s been a slow burning rise with Stephen but he’s got, as I call it ‘his World Cup final’ — something that is going to take heart and strength. His strength is going very well. Pedraza is a very good fighter, good orthodox, good southpaw, he can mix it up and we’re prepared for whatever style he wants to bring 週六.”
(On the process of preparing for a fighter like Pedraza…)
“It’s a nightmare. It’s hard enough when you’re fighting a quality orthodox or a quality southpaw, of which he is, but not only that. He can also box on the back foot and on the front foot so we’re varying sparring partners, we’re mixing up the sparring in between the rounds, switching stances, and whichever way Pedraza wants to fight at the end of the night, I’m sure we’ll have an answer for.”
(On how he feels the fight will play out…)
“I think that’s all up to Pedraza, looking back at a few of his fights, he boxes slow and gets off to a good start but then he seems to lose his way a little in rounds. When you watch him against [安德烈] Klimov, he started out very well, put him under manners very quickly and had him nearly beat by the fourth round but [安德烈] managed to stay in very well and boxed really well. He got to the middle rounds, lost his way a little bit, switched southpaw, so either way it’s going to be fascinating. We’ve just got to make sure we don’t get caught to early when he’s quick and he’s sharp and he’s trying to put manners in Stephen Smith and then take him into the deep waters like Edner Cherry.”
(His prediction…)
“Stephen Smith. Possibly by knockout. 別, definitely by knockout.”

“I’m looking forward and I’m excited to be making my 2016 debut in the boxing capitol of Las Vegas come May 21,” 拉拉說. “I can’t wait to get in the ring as I have unfinished business to take care of with Vanes. I’m the champion and will remain the champion. I will leave no doubt who the better fighter is and will show the world that I’m the best fighter in the 154-pound division. I am dedicating this fight to a great man and boxing idol Gilberto Mendoza Sr. May he rest in peace and enjoy this display of master boxing from heaven, that I will put on for him when I step in the ring on fight night.”
“Erislandy Lara and I have unfinished business from our first fight,” 馬爾季羅相說. “I had him beat that night and I’ll beat him on May 21. My time is now and I know I will be the new champion of the world on 五月 21.”
The 25-year-old Charlos are aiming for history against stiff opposition from a former champion in Trout and the Olympian from the Virgin Islands in Jackson.
“This will be a history-making, record-breaking night for the Charlo twins,” said Jermall Charlo. “It means everything to us to be able to fight in two championship fights on the same card. This is everything we’ve ever dreamed of. This is going to be a great night of boxing and I’m preparing myself for war. Austin Trout is a seasoned vet. He’s fought world champions and has beaten future Hall of Famer Miguel Cotto. This is one of my biggest fights to date, but I’m preparing the same way I always do. I’m going to be on my ‘A’ 遊戲. I’m ready to make history.”
“I’m extremely excited and grateful for the opportunity to fight for the world title on 五月 21,” 特勞特說：. “It’s a twice-in-a-lifetime chance for a second world title and I’m going to take full advantage of it. I’m working hard and have already been in training camp in D.C. and ready to take full advantage of the moment. I’ve sat at the champions’ table before and am ready to go back again and eat from it again. Destiny brought me here not to lose, 但贏. I’m going to show up and show out and this world title.”
“這對我來說是一個巨大的思想鬥爭,” said Jermell Charlo. “It’s my first opportunity to fight for a title and my brother is on the same card defending his belt. There has never been identical twin brothers that are both world champions in the same weight class. We’re going to go out there and make history and send a message to the whole division. I’m excited to get in the ring and I know John Jackson is too. This is an important time in my career and I will be well prepared. Let the best man win.”
“I’m very grateful for this opportunity to become a world champion,” 傑克遜說. “I’ve been training very hard for the last two months for this fight and come 五月 21 I will be victorious over Jermell Charlo and realize my lifelong dream of becoming a world champion, like my dad, the great Julian Jackson.”
“This is yet another example of SHOWTIME Sports’ commitment to delivering the best lineup in boxing,” 斯蒂芬說埃斯皮諾薩, 執行副總裁 & 總經理, SHOWTIME體育. “We’re featuring three important championship fights in one of boxing’s most intriguing young divisions – a tripleheader that will bring our 2016 tally of world title bouts to 14 – all free to SHOWTIME subscribers. We’re excited to offer this rare opportunity to see the top fighters in a division all on the same telecast.”
“Mayweather Promotions is thrilled to bring this fantastic tripleheader of super welterweight world champions to fight fans,” 倫納德說Ellerbe, 梅威瑟促銷的CEO. “The best of the 154-pound division will be on display on 五月 21 and we expect an action-packed night of drama.”
“We’re very excited to work with SHOWTIME on this action-packed tripleheader,” 說TGB促銷湯姆·布朗. “Erislandy Lara and Vanes Martirosyan have a huge score to settle from their 2012 結束, and Jermall and Jermell Charlo are in high-stakes matchups against Austin Trout and John Jackson, 分別, in what promises to be a highly entertaining evening of boxing.”
The 32-year-old 拉拉 is a slick boxer with the ability to deliver punishment while taking very little of it in return. Lara has notched victories over Alfredo Angulo, 奧斯汀鱒魚, Ishe Smith and Freddy Hernandez. 作為一個業餘愛好者, 拉拉贏得了無數的冠軍，其中包括在次中量級的全國冠軍，也參加了 2007 泛美運動會. 從關塔那摩最初的戰鬥機, Cuba dominated Delvin Rodriguez in June of last year and followed that up with a third-round stoppage of former champion Jan Zaveck.

下面是什麼戰士不得不說:

 

RUSLAN PROVODNIKOV

“As soon as I heard the name John Molina, I jumped on it. Molina fights with the type of style that people want to see. He brings the action.

 

“六月 11 is another Fight of the Year-type fight. 你可以期待煙花.

 

“People expect action fights when I get in the ring. I appreciate that SHOWTIME saw a value in what I can offer and I want to make sure that I don’t let them down.

 

“I’ve only seen one fight of his, and that was the fight with (盧卡斯) Matthysse. That fight shows the type of fighter he is.

 

“I think our styles are going to clash. The reason people love this is because it’s unpredictable. Nobody knows what’s going to happen on 六月 11. Nobody can even predict which way it’s going to go. We’re both punchers, we both go forward, we both fight in a risky style. I think that’s going to make this fight a fight that everybody should watch.

 

“The fight is already a huge motivation, but the fact that the Hall of Fame is the same weekend is definitely great. I’m definitely pleased to know that because hopefully one day I can be a part of that.”

 

 

約翰·莫利納JR.

 

“We’re never say die fighters. We come forward. It’s literally like two trains that are going to collide. It’s a can’t miss fight.

 

“He’s a hell of a fighter. He has a big heart and a big will.

 

“Right now, my only focus is – and I know it sounds generic – but my only focus is on Ruslan Provodnikov. He deserves my undivided attention right now because he’s that kind of fighter.

 

“I have to prepare for someone that has a never say die attitude. He’s like a virus that will never go away. He’s a hell of a fighter – he has a big heart and a big will. It’s tough to beat a guy that wants to win.

 

“We’re going to give the fans a treat, a Gatti-Ward type fight. I expect nothing less. We can have a phone booth, we don’t need a big ring.

 

“The judges probably don’t even need to be there because we’re going to decide the fight ourselves.”

 

德米特里安德拉德

 

“Willie Nelson, he’s going to come in and he’s going to try and throw those power shots. He’s going to try to stomp me down and make a statement, but I’ve been doing this for too long. I’m just ready to be where I need to be, where I deserve to be, and that’s on the top.

“I’m not worried about ring rust. I stayed in the gym like a true champion should. I’m still young in the game so I don’t think I should have any problems seeing or ducking any punches.

 

“I’m confident and I know I’m the best 154-pounder out there and this fight right here is going to let people know that I’m back in business.

 

“Everybody knows the work that I’ve put in. The time is now and the time is coming.

 

“I’m ready to re-introduce myself to boxing fans and show them I’m the best 154-pounder in the world.

 

“After this fight with Willie Nelson, I plan on fighting the winner of Jermell Charlo and John Jackson and getting that WBC belt. 在那之後, I want to face the rest of the division and prove I’m the best.”

RUSSIA’S ZUBOV LIVING OUT HIS DREAMS FIGHTING FOR DETROIT’S KRONK GYM WHILE PREPARING FOR HIS SHOBOX: THE NEW GENERATION DEBUT THIS FRIDAY, APRIL 15

發表評論
布魯克林, 紐約 (四月 12, 2016) – As a kid growing up in Magnitogorsk, 俄羅斯,重量級 阿列克謝·祖博夫 heard stories about the fabled Kronk Gym and the late legendary trainer Emanuel Steward, but never thought he’d have a chance to join the team. But then one day, the former amateur champion was asked to come to Detroit to spar with Kronk’s Johnathon Banks … 剩下的就是歷史.
此 星期五, 四月 15, the undefeated Zubov (10-0, 6 科斯) will face Mandilesti, Moldova’s Constantin Bejenaru (10-0, 4 科斯, WSB: 0-1-1) in the eight-round opener of an internationally televised 的ShoBox: 新一代 live on SHOWTME (10 P.M. AND/PT, 延遲在西海岸) 在旋石度假村賭場在維羅納, 紐約.
Presented by Salita Promotions in association with AASHA Record Breakers,the mainevent will featureIBF No. 10-ranked bantamweight 尼古拉·波塔波夫 (14-0, 6 科斯), 波多利斯克的, 俄羅斯, 承擔 斯蒂芬·揚 (14-0-2, 6 科斯), 聖. 聖路易斯, Missouri in a 10-round bout. 在合作的主要事件, Eudy貝爾納 (21-0, 15 科斯) of the Dominican Republic faces 石匠 “石堅強大” 梅納爾 (30-1-0, 22 科斯), of Rayne, 路易斯安那州, in an eight-round battle.
Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased at the Turning Stone Resort Casino Box Office, by calling 877.833.SHOW, 或在Ticketmaster.com上在線. They are priced at $60 為馬戲團席位, $35 和 $25.
“I’ve been in Detroit for the last two months and I am so happy; I want to stay here, train here and live here,” said Zubov. “Every Russian fighter knows about Kronk Gym and Emanuel Steward.”
Zubov is currently winding down camp with his trainer and Steward’s nephew Javan “糖” Hill at the resurgent Kronk Gym. “I like Javan’s style,” said Zubov, “and I’ve learned so much about hand speed and footwork and about using intelligence in the ring – how you need to think when you’re in a fight.”
“Alexey is able to learn a lot and absorb boxing knowledge easily,” 山說. “He barely speaks English and yet he soaks it in. It’s amazing. I brought him in to spar with Banks and when we were training, Alexey just sat on the side and watched. 後, he was sparring with Johnathon and I told him to stop. I said ‘listen here. I’m training Jonathon Banks and you’re doing everything I told him to do. What’s wrong with you?’ Then I laughed and said ‘I like that. Keep watching. I’ll teach you everything you want to know.’ “
Hill says this camp with Zubov was a transition for the fighter. “We are moving into the championship level where you train for a specific fighter. A lot of it is strategy and planning. The only thing I worry about is him being too excited. He’s very high-strung and wants to prove things. I have to control him and keep him from getting over-excited. That’s what we’ve been working on. He gets antsy when he’s excited.”
“Training was prefect. 我 100 ％的準備,” said Zubov. “I know Bejenaru is a southpaw and he is a short guy with a good record. It’s my first time on SHOWTIME and I am so happy to be showing the world what I can do.”

Dejan Zlaticanin To Face Emiliano Marsili For WBC Lightweight World Championship In Opening Bout Of Ruslan Provodnikov vs. 約翰·莫利納JR. Tripleheader

住在Showtime® 在 9 P.M. AND/6 P.M. PT

During International Boxing Hall of Fame Weekend

From Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, 紐約州.

紐約 (四月 11, 2016) – An outstanding super welterweight clash has been added to 精彩表演拳擊錦標賽 上 星期六, 六月 11 as undefeated, former WBO Junior Middleweight Champion 德米特里安德拉德 will face hard-hitting perennial contender 威利·納爾遜 in a WBC Super Welterweight Title Eliminator. The winner of the 12-round co-feature will become the mandatory challenger to the winner of the 五月 21 showdown between Jermell Charlo and John Jackson, who face off for the vacant WBC 154-pound title on SHOWTIME.

 

Andrade vs. Nelson will serve as the chief support to the all-action matchup between former junior middleweight world champion 魯斯蘭Provodnikov and former world title challenger 約翰·莫利納JR., 住在Showtime (9 P.M. AND/6 P.M. PT) 從 Turning Stone Casino 在維羅納, 紐約. Andrade vs. Nelson is a co-promotion with Banner Promotions, Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing and DiBella Entertainment

 

In the opening bout of the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING tripleheader during International Boxing Hall of Fame weekend, WBC No. 1-ranked lightweight 德揚Zlaticanin will take on No. 2-排名 Emiliano Marsili for the vacant WBC Lightweight World Championship.

 

Fighting out of his native Providence, R.I., the 28-year-old Andrade has compiled an unblemished record of 22-0 同 15 knockouts since turning professional in 2008 after representing the United States in the 2008 在北京奧運會, 中國.

 

A crafty southpaw with a piston-like jab and knockout power in each hand, Andrade won the vacant WBO Junior Middleweight World Championship with a career-best performance over Vanes Martirosyan on November 9, 2013 and successfully defended the title against No. 1-ranked mandatory challenger Brian Rose on June 14, 2014. Most recently Andrade, who is a consensus top-5 super welterweight, scored a second-round knockout over Dario Fabian Pucheta on October 17, 2015.

 

A true road warrior who is extremely tall for a junior middleweight at 6-foot-3, 納爾遜 (25-2-1, 15 KO的) has faced and defeated numerous top contenders over his 10-year career. Fighting only once in 2015, the Cleveland native upset highly regarded and undefeated junior middleweight prospect Tony Harrison with a ninth-round knockout on 七月 11 在坦帕, 佛羅里達. In his first start of 2016, Nelson stopped Jonathan Batista in the second round on March 25.

 

Other notable names the all-action Nelson has defeated include John Jackson, 盧西亞諾·奎略, Michael Medina and Yudel Jackson. 在十月 14, 2014, Nelson came up just short against Martirosyan, losing a hotly contested 10-round decision on SHOWTIME.

 

The southpaw Zlaticanin (17-0, 10 科斯) was an accomplished amateur in Eastern Europe before making a statement in his U.S. debut with an impressive fourth-round TKO of previously undefeated Ivan Redkach in a 135-pound title eliminator last 六月 13在Showtime.

 

Two bouts prior to the win over Redkach, 德揚 (pronounced “DAY-han) Zlaticanin (silent “z” – pronounced “la-ti-CAH-nin) earned a well-deserved 12-round split decision over hometown favorite and former two-division world champion Ricky Burns in 2014.

 

The 31-year-old Zlaticanin is an offensive-minded fighter who constantly pressures his opponents, outworks them and wears them down. Zlaticanin, of the Southeastern European country of Montenegro, will be making his first start in nearly 12 個月.

 

The win over Redkach last June earned Redkach the WBC’s mandatory position at 135 英鎊. He was scheduled to face WBC Champion Jorge Linares in early 2016, but Linares pulled out of the bout with a broken hand. Due to the injury, the WBC has since named Linares their champion in recess, creating the opportunity for the vacant title shot.

 

The Italian Marsili (32-0-1, 14 科斯) 會讓他 2016, 中美. and SHOWTIME debut. The undefeated southpaw has fought all but one of his professional fights in Italy, the lone exception a 2012 TKO of veteran contender Derry Matthews in Britain.

 

The 39-year old fought twice in 2015, a seventh-round TKO of Gyorgy Mizsei Jr., for the European lightweight belt and a 12-round unanimous decision over Gamaliel Diaz for the WBC’s 135-pound silver title.

ANTHONY JOSHUA KNOCKS OUT CHARLES MARTIN TO WIN IBF HEAVYWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP SATURDAY ON SHOWTIME®FROM THE O2 IN LONDON

倫敦 (四月 9, 2016) – Anthony Joshua is the new IBF Heavyweight Champion of the World.

 

The undefeated knockout artist blasted defending champion Charles Martin in the second round to capture the IBF belt on Saturday in front of a rousing hometown crowd at The O2 in London on SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL.

 

約書亞, who kept his perfect KO record in tact to advance to 16-0 同 16 科斯, earned a heavyweight belt in the fewest number of fights since Michael Bentt beat Tommy Morrison in just his 12日 pro match in 1993.

 

Joshua’s one-punch KO power was evident early. After an even first, 該 2012 Olympic Gold Medalist floored Martin with a straight right less than one minute into the second round. The southpaw looked stunned and slowly rose to beat the count, but was floored again with another right hand just seconds later. That was it for Martin (23-1-1, 21 科斯), who had won the belt in January under bizarre circumstances and now owns the second shortest reign for a heavyweight champion.

 

“I’m only one-quarter of the way there,” said Joshua., who has expressed his desire to unify the heavyweight division. “I’m not going to get too carried away because we still have work to do. 我們有 (大衛·) Haye calling me out, Tyson Fury calling me out. I need to keep on pushing if I’m going to maintain at a high level.
