NUEVA YORK (Marzo 16, 2016) –Eight talented up-and-coming boxers with a combined record of 116-2-4, 71 KOs will compete on a compelling ShoBox: La Nueva Generación quadrupleheader en Viernes, Abril 15, vivir TIEMPO DE LA FUNCION (10 p.m. Y/PT, en diferido en la Costa Oeste) de Turning Stone Resort Casino en Verona, N.Y.

 

In a clash of unbeaten bantamweights in the main event, undefeated world-ranked Nikolay Potapov (14-0, 6 KOs), de Podolsk, Rusia, caras Stephon joven (14-0-2, 6 KOs), de St. Louis, Señorita. en un combate a 10 asaltos. eudy Bernardo (21-0, 15 KOs) of the Dominican Republic faces Mason “Rock Hard Mighty” Menard (30-1-0, 22 KOs), of Rayne, La., in an eight/10-round battle of hard-hitting lightweights in the co-feature.

 

Promising Russian cruiserweight Alexey Zubov (10-0, 6 KOs) measures against Constantin Bejenaru (10-0, 4 KOs, WSB: 0-1-1) of Mandilesti, Moldavia, in one of the eight-round bouts.

 

The two ShoBox returnees will box in the eight-round telecast opener when Kazakhstan’s devastating junior welterweight Bakhtiyar “Bakha Bullet” Eyubov (10-0, 10 KOs), de Brooklyn, N.Y., takes on Liberia-born Samuel Seah (7-1-1, 2 KOs), de Filadelfia, Papá.

Six of the fighters, all seeking to establish their credibility and make a name for themselves, are newcomers to the network and will be making their ShoBox debuts on a four-fight telecast that has a distinct international flavor (two Americans, two Russians, one Romanian, one from Kazakhstan, one Dominican and one from Liberia).

Tickets for the event presented by Salita Promotions in association with AASHA Record Breakers are currently on sale and can be purchased at the Turning Stone Resort Casino Box Office, llamando al 877.833.SHOW, o en línea en Ticketmaster.com. Los boletos están a $60 para los asientos de primera fila, $35 y $25.

The fast-rising Potapov, of Potolsk, Rusia, está clasificado 10º en el FIB. Extremely rare for a fighter at this point in his career, he’s already gone 10 rounds five times and 12 rounds once against good opposition. This is his second start in the United States since signing with Salita Promotions in June 2015. The 5-foot-4, 26-year-old is coming off a shutout 10-round decision over Pedro Melo último Octubre. 29 en Brooklyn.

 

An outstanding amateur with international success, Potapov had around 200 fights before he turned pro in March 2010. Continuó 13-0 as a pro in Russia. In his outing before last – and last in his homeland — he produced perhaps a career-best performance while winning a unanimous 12-round decision over then-IBF No. 10-clasificado Jasoin Canoy, en noviembre. 8, 2015.

“I’ve been training very hard to make my ShoBox debut a spectacular one,’’ Potapov said. “This will be my second fight in New York against a very skilled boxer in Stephon Young, who is undefeated like me. I look forward to a great competitive fight and I’m putting in my work to come out on top.’’

 

Young is a talented, lightning-fast-handed southpaw who’s done more than enough to deserve his standing as a rising star in the Midwest. He’s making his 2016 and 10-round debut.

 

Like Potapov, Young was a top-notch amateur. He compiled a record of 86-13 while representing the United States in many tournaments. In theU.S. Olympic Trials in 2011, he lost to the No. 1-rated amateur,Rau'shee Warren.

 

His pedigree solid and after years of having “celebrated amateur” permanently affixed to his name, Young turned pro in August 2011.The 5-foot-5, 27-year-old has gone eight rounds once and six rounds on four occasions. He’s coming off a third-round TKO over Terrance Royúltimo Agosto. 8 and by far his toughest task, Young boxed unbeaten Antonio Nieves to an eight-round draw on June 20, 2015.

 

Young hasn’t fought near the caliber of fighters as Potapov but he’s excited and optimistic about Abril 15. “Esta es una gran oportunidad para mí, going up against another undefeated fighter in front of the world onShoBox,’’ Young said. “You can’t pass up an opportunity like that. El entrenamiento va genial. I’m training with some of the top notch fighters in the world like Juan Carlos Payano, Claudio Marrero y Yenifel Vicente.

“I know little about my opponent, but what I know makes me feel like we are the perfect match. We both have good records and we are both good fighters, but once I bring my A game, he’d be helpless. I will be watching all my P’s and Q’s. Once you get me in that zone I have no doubt I will win.’’

Bernardo, a 29-year-old with a million-dollar smile – and a punch to match — has registered knockouts in nine of his last 10 peleas. In Menard, he’s facing unquestionably the most seasoned foe of his career. This is Bernardo’s fourth U.S. start and second in a row. He’s coming off a clinically ruthless second-round demolition of Ben Odametey último Febrero. 6 en Detroit, me.

 

Born and raised in Santo Domingo, República Dominicana, Bernardo had an extensive amateur career (128 peleas) before turning pro in October 2009. He captured the Dominican Republic Lightweight Title in his fourth start. Tall for his division at 5-foot-10½, Bernardo is aggressive, technically sound and possesses two-fisted power.

“With him being 30-1, beating Mason Menard will take me to the next level, exactly where I want to go,’’ said Bernardo, who trains in Houston with former world champion Frank Tate. “I’m excited about this fight onShoBox because it’s a good opportunity for America to get to know me. El entrenamiento va muy bien. Every day I am learning. My diet is terrific. My whole team is with me, pushing me to get better.’’

Menard, former Louisiana State and UBO All-Americas Lightweight Champion, is a pressure and hard-punching fighter who’s won 28 in a row.

He has fought all but one of his fights in Louisiana and this will be his second start en 21 meses. In his most recent effort, se detuvo Jesus Lule-Raya in the first round on Aug. 8, 2015.

 

While inactivity could pose a problem, Menard is primed for Bernardo. Nobody, él dice, is going to deter him from his aspirations of making it to the top.

 

“It’s blessing to me to be able to fight and showcase my talent on SHOWTIME,’’ said Menard, who has weighed at or around 135 pounds throughout a pro career that began in October 2007. “It’s been a part of a dream of mine to do so and to one day fight for a major world title. EnAbril 15, Bernardo stands between me and my dreams. It’s all or nothing. It’s rise or lay down. Abril 15 is the day I’ll be able to be known as a real legit fighter. I WILL NOT let this guy stop me from accomplishing any of those things. Quote me, I will give it my all, I will rise, I will be known and I will be world champion.’’

 

Zubov, a sensational former international amateur standout and seven-time cruiserweight tournament champion in Russia and Europe, turned pro in April 2014. His first five fights were in the U.S. – four in California and one in Brooklyn. He won all but one inside the distance.

 

The 6-foot-1½-inch 30-year-old will be making his 2016 debut after fighting four times in 2015 y seis veces en 2014. Zubov’s last five fights were in Russia; he is coming off a first-round TKO over Rihards Bigisúltimo Noviembre. 29.

Zubov was born and raised in Magnitogorsk, a city which isn’t exactly a fistic hotbed. Getting into boxing was hardly common for his corner of the world. He didn’t grow up in a nasty neighborhood or fighting in the streets. De hecho, he has a profound mathematical background, having attended a special school that concentrated on physics and mathematics. But while his first sport was hockey, he took to boxing.

Regarding his upcoming skirmish, Zubov said, “I spent several weeks training at the Kronk Boxing Gym with Javan ‘Sugar’ Hill in Detroit for my ShoBox debut. I learn every day in the gym and look forward to putting my knowledge to use Abril 15 en ShoBox. I want to follow in the footsteps of all the great Kronk fighters.’’

Bejenaru a Moldovan-born fighting out of Catskill, N.Y., está haciendo su 2016 debut. Since moving to the U.S., el 5 pies 10, 31-year-old southpaw is 10-0 con 1 No Contest dating to September 2012. En su última pelea, he won a unanimous eight-round decision over Joel Shojgreen en octubre. 14, 2015.

“I know Zubov is a good fighter. I am training very hard and have been waiting for an opportunity like this so people can see just what I can do,’’ said Bejenaru, who was born in a Moldovia, a small land-locked country in Eastern Europe. “I am ready to go and very excited about this fight.’’

 

Como amateur, Bejenaru won a bronze medal at the 2006 Campeonatos europeos de boxeo amateur, multiple medals at the European Union Amateur Boxing Championships and the Gold Medal at the 2010 Juegos de Combate mundo.

 

Yeyubov, 29, of Astana, Kazahstan, has fought a total of 16 rounds in his 10 fights since going pro in February 2012. A one-main offensive juggernaut, he’s scored six first-round knockouts, two second-round knockouts and two third-round knockouts. This will be his ninth fight in the U.S.

 

En su ShoBox debut in his last start this past Jan. 22, Eyubov droppedJared Robinson, three times en route to a third-round TKO (0:56).

 

“I’m honored to be back on ShoBox,’’ said the 5-foot-6 Eyubov who’s promoted by Salita Promotions. “I went back home to Kazakhstan after my last fight and came back with more inspiration and motivation to be the best fighter in the world. I am training very hard every day in New York City and look forward to putting on a show Abril 15. My gratitude toShoBox for giving a young upcoming fighter like me the opportunity to showcase his skills against the best possible opponents on national TV in the U.S. It’s just amazing.’’

Eyubov got into boxing the hard way. “I used to live in a very bad neighborhood and would constantly get into street fights. I’m not a big guy so I started boxing to learn to defend myself,'', Dijo. “I had over 150 peleas como amateur. I won about 125-130, most were by knockout. I beat Olympic champions and international champions, but I was not allowed to travel. It might have been because of where I come from – they didn’t have political connections. They’d tell me, ‘Win by knockout, or you’re not going to win.’ I had to fight heavier guys sometimes. But I was so rough and hit so hard, I’d ruin some of their best fighters at my weight.’’

 

Sí, un 5-7, 28-años de edad, ganó su ShoBox and eight-round debut lastNoviembre. 6 with an upset, unanimous decision over previously undefeatedO'Shanique adoptivo. Teah outpointed Foster, who would go on to win his ensuring start on ShoBox.

 

“It’s a privilege and honor to be facing Eyubov on SHOWTIME,’’ said Teah, who’s coming off an eight-round draw against Demond Brock último Jan. 22. “I don’t know much about him. I know he’s from Kazakhstan with a perfect record. He fought last time I fought on the same card, but I didn’t get to see him and he didn’t get to see me. Now we get to fight each other. When I got the call I was in the gym already, just not in a fight mindset. Now it’s just matter of turning up the intensity and getting ready for an aggressive opponent and getting my fight mindset going.’’

 

Sí, who was born in Liberia, fled with his family to Ghana, where his father’s from, to escape the civil war when Sam was a youngster. The family’s been in the U.S. since he was 10.

Mashantucket, Connecticut (Marzo 15, 2016) – Gary Russell Jr.. will return to the ring to defend his WBC Featherweight World Title against Irish contender Patrick Hyland en Sábado, Abril 16, vivir TIEMPO DE LA FUNCION® (11 p.m. Y/8 p.m. PT) desde el Foxwoods Resort Casino en Mashantucket, Connecticut.
En la pelea co-estelar por SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING, undefeated IBF Super Featherweight World Champion Jose Pedraza will defend against mandatory challenger Stephen Smith.
Russell Jr. (26-1, 15 KOs) will be making the first defense of his featherweight world title that he earned after stopping defending champion Jhonny González in the fourth-round last March. He was set to defend last November, but was forced to withdraw due to a training injury. If he can get by the extremely motivated Hyland (31-1, 15 KOs), Russell Jr. is in line for big fights with fellow champions and top contenders such as Leo Santa Cruz, Lee Selby, Abner Mares y Carl Frampton.
“I’m excited about being back in the ring,” dijo Russell. “It’s been a year because of an injury, but I’m feeling great and more ready than ever. I’ll be prepared for anything. I’m looking forward to meeting Mr. Hyland on the 16th and I’m ready to prove I’m the best featherweight in the world.”
“This is a fantastic opportunity to fight for the WBC title, one of the belts that I’ve always wanted to hold,” dijo Hyland. “It means the world to me to be fighting for this title against a real champion like Gary Russell Jr. I think he’s a great fighter who does everything well so I have to be at my best on fight night. But I know I can beat him and take that belt home to Ireland. I’m just a lad from Jobstown in Tallaght who works hard and loves the fight game. I’ve been trained all my life by my father, may God rest him, and to win a world title will make all of his hard work and effort worthwhile.”
Pedraza (21-0, 12 KOs) won his 130-pound world title last June when he dominated Andrey Klimovto capture the vacant belt, and he successfully defended it last October in an exciting battle againstEdner Cherry. Both bouts aired on SHOWTIME. Now he faces the mandatory challenger in Herrero(23-1, 13 KOs), quien ha ganado 11 straight bouts and may present the toughest challenge of Pedraza’s burgeoning career.
“I am in excellent condition, had an extraordinary training camp and am anxious to demonstrate my skills in the ring on April 16,” said Pedraza. “I am truly looking forward to entertaining the fans in attendance and remaining undefeated as I defense my crown against Smith. I am determined to become the next big star out of Puerto Rico.”
“I’ve waited a long time for this opportunity, but the timing couldn’t be better,” dijo Smith. “I’m excited to get the opportunity to win the world title live on Sky Sports in the UK and on SHOWTIME in America. Pedraza is a quality fighter but I know I will do whatever is needed to become world champion on April 16 and I can’t wait.”
Las entradas para el evento en vivo, que es promovido por DiBella Entertainment, tienen un precio de $150, $90 y $45 No incluidos los gastos y los impuestos aplicables de servicio y están a la venta. Los boletos están disponibles enwww.ticketmaster.com y www.foxwoods.com o visitando el Foxwoods’ Taquillas. Para comprarlos por llamada telefónica a Ticketmaster al (800) 745-3000. The Pedraza vs. Smith bout is promoted in association with Gary Shaw Productions, Universal Promotions and Matchroom Boxing.
“This SHOWTIME doubleheader is a can’t-miss event,” dijo Lou DiBella, Presidentof DiBella Entertainment. “In Russell-Hyland, you have one of the most gifted fighters in all of boxing defending his title against a hungry and tough-as-nails Irishman in the biggest fight of his career. Pedraza is looking to make a statement against Smith, Britain’s number one contender, and to follow in the footsteps of past Puerto Rican superstars.”
A speedy and supremely talented boxer, Russell Jr., was impressive in his fourth-round stoppage of the battle-tested Gonzalez last March. La 2008 U.S. Olympian had scored important victories overVyacheslav Gusev, Juan Ruiz, y Miguel Tamayo before losing a majority decision to Vasyl Lomachenko for the WBO 126-pound title in June 2014. El zurdo, de Capitol Heights, Md., was able to return to his winning ways with a unanimous decision over Christopher Martin that December prior to his coronation against Gonzalez, whom he dropped three times en route to capturing the title.
Leading into his last fight on Octubre. 10, en Lowell, Misa., Irlanda Hyland was dealing with heavy emotions following the death of his beloved father and longtime trainer, and the birth of his first son. The 32-year-old remained steadfast, fighting in memory of his father to stop David Martinez en el octavo asalto. It was his fourth consecutive victory since suffering his lone defeat, a close and competitive loss to the unbeaten Javier Fortuna for the interim WBA World Featherweight Title in December 2012. Ahora, presented with another world title opportunity, Hyland seeks to honor his father’s legacy by bringing the championship back home.
The switch-hitting former Puerto Rican Olympian Pedraza backed up his “El Francotirador” moniker against Klimov as he picked apart the Russian with superior speed and accuracy on his way to a world title. Pedraza ganó una oportunidad por el título en su pelea anterior con una victoria mejor de su carrera sobre el ex retador al título mundial Michael Farenas. The 26-year-old will have title unification on his mind if he can conquer his mandatory opponent on Abril 16.
Part of a fighting family, Smith’s brothers Callum, Liam and Paul all fight professionally at a high level and he hopes to join Liam as a fellow world champion on Abril 16. The 30-year-old has fought professionally since 2008 and his only blemish came against featherweight world champion Lee Selby in 2011. Smith earned his title shot with a sixth-round stoppage of Boschiero cotización en septiembre 2015 y estará haciendo su U.S. debut at Foxwoods.

EX CAMPEÓN MUNDIAL ENTRENAR AL PROSPECTO JUSTIN DELOACH

EN CUARTA LUCHA AÑADIDO A Viernes, MARZO 25,

SHOBOX: LA NUEVA GENERACIÓN TELEDIFUSIÓN

"Estoy asustado de nuevo, como si esta fuera mi primera pelea ". - Paul Williams

 

DeLoach superwélter se enfrenta al invicto favorito local Dillon Cook;

Prometedor conoce a Aaron Herrera en el evento principal;

En vivo por SHOWTIME® En 10:30 p.m. Y/PT

NUEVA YORK (Marzo 15, 2016) - Ex dos veces campeón del mundo Paul Williams, cuya carrera profesional tuvo un final repentino y trágico cuando quedó paralizado de cintura para abajo después de un accidente de motocicleta en mayo 2012, está de vuelta en el boxeo como entrenador.

 

El popular Williams trabajará la esquina de una vez vencido Justin DeLoach (13-1, 7 KOs) cuando DeLoach se enfrenta al invicto peso superwélter y favorito local Dillon Cocine (16-0, 6 KOs) en la primera pelea de ocho asaltos de lo que ahora es un ShoBox: La Nueva Generación quadrupleheader en Viernes, Marzo 25, vivirTIEMPO DE LA FUNCION (10:30 p.m. Y/PT, en diferido en la Costa Oeste) desde Buffalo Run Casino en Miami, Oklahoma.

 

DeLoach es el primer boxeador en ser entrenado por Williams, el ex zurdo de 154 libras que ha estado confinado a una silla de ruedas desde el accidente.

"Supongo que estaba siendo egoísta al principio,"Williams dijo. "No quería lidiar con el juego de la lucha. Yo quería ser el que luchara. Pero eso cambió ".

 

Williams se mostró reacio a entrenar luchadores durante mucho tiempo. EraGeorge Peterson, quien dirigió y entrenó a Williams desde que el boxeador era un niño flaco con poca experiencia amateur hasta que terminó su carrera, que ayudó a persuadir a "The Punisher" de regresar al ring. Williams entrena a su alumno en un gimnasio privado en su ciudad natal de Aiken, CAROLINA DEL SUR.

 

"Ya sabes como soy, Realmente no quería hacer esto,‘’ Dijo Williams. “Pero finalmente, después de tres o cuatro años de que George prácticamente me suplicara que intentara hacerlo, llegó esta oportunidad y decidí darle una oportunidad.

 

"Todo es cuestión de tiempo. Comencé a pensar en eso, George seguía preguntándome y jugando conmigo al respecto., Una cosa llevó a la otra, y finalmente dije que lo probaría.
Williams, que disfruta de la descripción de su nuevo trabajo, admite que hay algunos nervios antes de la pelea.

 

"Estoy asustado de nuevo, como si esta fuera mi primera pelea. Ahora, Tengo que pensar en todo lo que el Sr.. Pete estaba pensando en cuando yo estaba peleando. Tengo que intentar enseñarle a Justin lo que sabía hacer.

 

"George y yo logramos mucho. Me hizo campeona del mundo; antes de que, nadie sabía quién era él o yo. Éramos solo un par de chicos de Aiken, CAROLINA DEL SUR. Dimos a los fanáticos peleas para recordar.

 

"Yo era el peleador que la prensa etiquetó como 'el más temido en el boxeo'. Pero eso se acabó para mí ahora. Estoy saltando a algo completamente nuevo. Ha sido un ajuste, pero me alegro de estar haciéndolo ".

 

En su rol de entrenador, La mentalidad de Williams ha cambiado drásticamente desde sus días de lucha. "Mirar, Siempre me siento bien,'', Dijo. "Lo que pasó, pasó. Es lo que es. Esta es la primera vez que vuelvo al mundo. Me encanta el boxeo.

 

"Lo que no quiero ver es que un luchador se lastime. Este es un deporte duro. Sé que cuando estaba allí, siempre iba a por todas. Pero yo quiero a justin, todos los luchadores en realidad, para salir del ring de la misma manera que entraron. Ganar o perder, No quiero que nadie salga herido ".

 

En DeLoach, Williams dijo, "Es un buen peleador y ahora está en el centro de atención. Quiero hacer mi mejor esfuerzo en el mundo del entrenamiento para llevarlo a su punto máximo.. Espero que haga su mejor esfuerzo. Me encantaría igualar a George con Justin ".

 

Convertirse en el mejor requiere un arduo trabajo diario., y Williams no era ajeno a dedicar las horas.

 

"Nunca tomé un atajo,'', Dijo. "Tomas atajos, sabes lo que va a pasar. Tomé el largo camino a casa cuando estaba peleando y los fanáticos, combatientes, todos sabían qué esperar cuando entré al ring.

 

"Justin no es así, pero una cosa que sé es que los luchadores piensan que son hábiles. Bien, no puedes tirarme de nada. He estado allí, visto todo.''

 

Y, como siempre, tendrá a George Peterson a su lado.

 

"Solo estoy ayudando a Paul,"Dijo Peterson, quien servirá como entrenador asistente de Williams. "Hasta aquí, lo está haciendo muy bien ".

 

Será el ShoBox y 2016 debuts — y la pelea más dura hasta la fecha — tanto para DeLoach como para Cook.

 

DeLoach era un aficionado superior, compitiendo en el Campeonato Nacional de Boxeo de EE. UU. en 2012. Ganó un título nacional de guantes de oro de plata cuando estaba 13.

 

El DeLoach de 22 años, de Augusta, Ga., ha ganado tres seguidos desde que sufrió su única derrota ante Cesar Villa en febrero. 6, 2015. Eso fue antes de que comenzara a entrenar con Williams..

 

“Ha sido una bendición total, y yo digo que todos los dias,"DeLoach dijo. "Gracias a Dios. Él es quien nos unió a los dos, that’s the main thing. Paul lo ama, solo para estar de vuelta. Creo que al principio estaba asustado, su reputación estaba en juego y la mía también.

 

“But he’s been so helpful – just in the mental side of things. I was already a good boxer but he’s taken me to another level mentally. He’s been pushing me, criticizing me, giving me instructions and picking my brain.”

 

DeLoach and Williams grew up just 30 minutes down the road from each other.

 

“Me and Paul, we’ve known each other our whole lives,’’ DeLoach said. “I’m from Augusta, Ga., and he was right across in Aiken. We knew each other when I was coming up as an amateur. He came to my last pro fight that was in San Antonio. When I saw him, I got so excited. We started to talk and I said something like, 'Hey, Paul, wouldn’t it be cool if we got together?'

 

“Once I came home, comenzamos a trabajar juntos y él me ha estado capacitando desde. Creo que ya estamos en unos tres meses.. Es una sensación increíble poder trabajar con uno de mis luchadores favoritos ".

 

En su última pelea, DeLoach ganó una decisión de cuatro asaltos por blanqueadaSantos Benavides último Diciembre. 12. DeLoach, un profesional desde marzo 2013, peleó seis veces ese año y cuatro veces cada una en 2014 y 2015.

 

"Tengo muchas ganas de luchar por primera vez por él,"DeLoach dijo. "Me he vuelto loco esperando mi descanso y una oportunidad como esta para pelear en SHOWTIME. Sé que no es fácil pelear en el patio trasero de tu oponente, pero con paul, George Peterson y yo y mis habilidades, estamos seguros de que será una buena pelea ".

 

Cocinero, 25, es de Seneca, Misuri, que se encuentra sobre 20 minutos del Buffalo Run Casino donde ha peleado seis veces. Un aficionado de primera, ganó seis títulos de Guantes de Oro, un título Nacional Junior Golden Gloves, un título de Heartland y cuatro títulos regionales de guantes de plata.

Cinco de sus últimos siete tuvieron lugar en Buffalo Run, incluyendo dos de cada tres en 2015. Viene de una decisión desequilibrada en ocho asaltos sobreRahman Yusubov último Noviembre. 14.

 

"No podría estar más emocionado por hacer mi ShoBox debut, justo en casa, en el Buffalo Run Casino,Cook dijo. “Esta es una gran oportunidad para mí, y planeo hacer una exhibición espectacular, para todos mis fanáticos allí esa noche y todos los que miraron en la televisión ".

Las entradas para el evento promovido por DiBella Entertainment y Tony Holden Productions tienen un precio de $45, $55 y $75 y están disponibles para su compra en buffalorun.com y en stubwire.com.

 

El 5-pies-9, 27-year-old Prograis, originally from New Orleans, La., but currently residing in Houston, Texas, is an aggressive-minded southpaw who’s making his 2016 debut and third start on ShoBox. Before turning pro in April 2012 he competed in the 2012 United States Olympic Boxing Trials.

 

En su ShoBox debut on Aug, 17, 2015, he registered an impressive,eight-round decision over previously undefeated Amos Cowart.PROGRAMAS, who had won eight straight by knockout going into the Cowart clash, resumed his KO-winning streak with a ninth-round knockout over Abel Ramos último Diciembre. 11 por SHOWTIME.

 

“I can’t wait to fight on March 25. I’m ready to put on another great show for the fans and demonstrate how I continue to improve as a fighter,"Dijo Prograis, quien fue 16 when he turned to boxing after relocating to Houston because of Hurricane Katrina. “I know I have a tough opponent, but I’m ready to go out and perform.

“Aaron Herrera is a rugged veteran and I know there will be some fireworks. I am thankful to my promoter, DiBella Entertainment, and to the network, TIEMPO DE LA FUNCION, for the opportunity to display my skills and talent.”

 

En cuanto a su apodo, Prograis said, “My manager and my dad were just trying to come up with nicknames. Fundamentalmente, everybody was just shooting out names and they shot out that one – ‘Rougarou’. Primero, I didn’t like it, but it stuck with me. A rougarou is like a Louisiana-type swamp monster or werewolf.”

 

Herrera, 27, de Valladolid, México, un ganador de 16 in a row at the outset of a pro career that began in August 2008, has fought some noteworthy opposition. This will be his second fight in U.S. suelo. In his stateside debut, Herrera dropped a 10-round decision to undefeated prospect Pedro Campa último Diciembre. 12.

 

Besides experience, Herrera has solid skills, movement and hails from a strong family boxing background (his father and grandfather boxed). He’s at his best when he keeps his foes off-balance and can surely outbox them. Esta será la 17º consecutive time he’ll be matched against a boxer with a winning record.

 

“I’m very excited at the opportunity to showcase my talent on theShoBox series,’’ Herrera said. “I’ve watched a few fights of Regis on YouTube. Él es un buen boxeador, but I am a better one. I feel fighting in Mexico has given me the upper hand. Mexican fighters are tough. I have fought better opposition and I’m the more experienced fighter.

 

“I’ve been looking for an opportunity like this. I need a good breakout fight for the fans to see me in action. I am a proud Mexican fighter and on March 25 the fans will see how real Mexicans fight like, and Prograis will know who Aaron Herrera is. Viva Mexico!"

 

The highly regarded Baranchyk is making his second eight-round start and second in a row on ShoBox. An offensive-minded fighting machine, he registered a 2:28, nocaut en el primer asalto sobre Shadi Shehadeh en su más reciente inicio último Diciembre. 11 en ShoBox.

 

Baranchyk, of Minsk, Byelorussia, is a former European amateur standout who turned pro in June 2014 and relocated to the United States just a few months after. El 5-pies-7, 23-year-old has won all eight of his U.S. salidas, seven by way of knockout, five in the first round.

 

“I am thrilled to make my second consecutive appearance on ShoBox,"Baranchyk Mackenzie. “I know that my next opponent will be a test for me, but I will score another exciting victory for the fans.’’

 

Su oponente, Givhan, se convirtió en profesional en agosto 2012, ganó su primer 15 scraps, boxed a four-round split draw with Freddy Durand en agosto. 22, 2015, and is coming from a majority decision over Juan Santiago últimoNoviembre. 13.

El 5-pies-7, 29-year-old fought 14 times in Michigan and one time each in West Virginia, Mississippi and Kentucky. The ultra-confident Givhan is taking a step up in class in Baranchyk, but he’s certainly not in awe of his assignment and is eagerly anticipating the opportunity.

 

“I am getting my mind ready for war,’’ said Givhan, whose nickname, “King Beamen,” is a reference to Jamie Foxx’s character from the movie “Any Given Domingo."

 

“Training is going great both mentally and physically. I belong on theShoBox series because they showcase great talent and, false modesty aside, I have great boxing talent. I will feel at home fighting on SHOWTIME and I take this as a great honor to fight on their network.

 

“My opponent has not fought anyone of my caliber. I know he’s been talking trash, but it won’t matter in the end. He has not had an opponent who can outthink, outshine and outbox him. I am that guy, I am that fighter. The cliché is true: to be the best you’ve got to fight and beat the best. We are both undefeated and this is the kind of a fight that separates the good fighters from the great ones.’’

 

Golub, a six-foot, 27 year-old southpaw, turned pro in November 2012. At the outset of his career, él fue 5-0 in the WSOB. He’s gone 10-0 desde, winning eight by knockout, including his last four in a row. Golub has recorded five first-round stoppages, including a two-knockdown,2:41, opening-round TKO over Juan Rodriguez in his most recent effort last Jan. 16 Barclays Center.

 

“It is an honor for me to make my national television debut,” Golub said. “Many champions got their start on ShoBox and I am determined to add my name to that illustrious list. My path toward a world title begins onMarzo 25 when I hand Marlon Aguas his first defeat.”

 

Aguas is making his U.S. y 2016 debut after fighting seven times in Quito, Ecuador and twice in Mexico. Un profesional desde marzo 2013, he won his initial eight starts and is coming off a first-round knockout over Edwin Gamboa último Noviembre. 7.

 

“I’m very excited and grateful to show the world a small country like Ecuador produces amazing fighters,’’ Aguas said. “Boxing is my life and I plan on making a statement in my U.S. debut.”

BELÉN, Pensilvania. (Marzo 6, 2016) – Julian Williams secured the IBF’s No. 1 position at 154 pounds and called out Junior Middleweight World Champion Jermall Charlo after an impressive seventh-round TKO of Italian Marcello Matano Sábado on SHOWTIME from Sands Bethlehem Events Center in Bethlehem, Papá. VIDEO OF WILLIAMS CALLING OUT CHARLO:http://s.sho.com/1UJo5bp
The undefeated Philadelphia native put on a clinic, breaking down his opponent from the opening bell until referee Gary Rosato stepped in to protect a defenseless Matano (16-2, 5 KOs) en 2:24 of the seventh. Williams (23-0-1, 14 KOs) utilized a steady diet of combos, jabs and body shots in the middle rounds to weaken Matano and set up the big shots to close the show in the seventh. Video: http://s.sho.com/1QzbBBb
Williams landed 59 por ciento de sus tiros de la energía, including a staggering 76 percent in the deciding seventh.
“Maybe people will think they saw a chink in the armor tonight,” Williams dijo. “Maybe guys will come out from under the rock and get some of this West Philly work.
“Jermall has been watching my performances. Him and his brother know exactly who I am. He needs to fight or vacate now. He needs to step up, but he’s already laying his groundwork and making excuses.
“Step up and fight me. It’s two of the best junior middleweights in the world. It’s about greatness. Quiero ser grande. All of you turkeys at 154 libra, let’s fight.”
Después de la pelea, Matano took issue with the stoppage.
“He was pretty fast with his jab, but I felt like I was just getting into the fight,” Matano said. “I felt the punch, but I felt like I could have kept going. I have a warrior heart and I never want to quit.
“I’m going to go back to Italy and take a little rest, then I’ll be right back in the gym. It was a wonderful experience coming here to America. I got to fight a top-echelon fighter and I feel like I belong.”
Avtandil Khurtsidze, a human brick wall barreling forward, upset previously unbeaten middleweight contender Antoine Douglas with a thoroughly dominating 10º-TKO. Video:http://s.sho.com/21er63g
The 35-year-old “mini-Mike Tyson” plowed forward from the opening bell until the TKO at 0:33 de los 10º. The 6-foot Douglas had no answer for his 5-foot-4 opponent, a Brooklyn-based native of Georgia who is looking to become the first world champion from the former Soviet nation.
Khurtsidze (32-2-2, 21 KOs) hurt Douglas (19-1-1, 13 KOs) with a big left in the opening seconds of the third round, sending the 23-year-old face forward through the ropes. De algun modo, Douglas recovered from the first knockdown of his career and fought himself back into the fight. El Washington, D.C., native rallied to win the fourth and the fifth rounds, and the all-action sixth could have gone either way.
Khurtsidze opened the seventh with a monstrous one-punch left to floor Douglas, who again somehow survived the round on failing legs as Khurtsidze threw over 100 golpes totales. Khurtsidze, who showed unbelievable stamina to push the pressure throughout, started the 10º with a relentless attack, forcing referee Benjy Esteves to stop the fight at 0:33 of the with Douglas defenseless against the ropes.
“Yo sabía que iba a cansarse,” said Khurtsidze, who took the fight on less than three weeks notice. “I felt like I was going to catch him. Él es un buen boxeador, but he’s not strong.
“I knew he was going to be hungry. But I also knew that I was going to beat him. It was short notice but I did everything I could in the time we had. I stayed in the gym and stayed sharp.
“Whoever they put in front me, I’m ready for them. Me encanta la lucha contra. Voy a pelear con nadie.”
Douglas had entered the fight as a fast-rising 160-pounder on the cusp of a title shot.
“I feel OK,” Douglas told SHOWTME Sports analyst Steve Farhood after the fight. “He definitely dictated. He definitely had a better day today. It’s not discouraging, we just weren’t able to execute. Naturalmente, I’m crushed. It’s back to the drawing board.”
En la primera pelea de la transmisión por televisión, contendiente de peso medio Tony Harrison looked impressive in a sixth round TKO over former world title challenger Fernando Guerrero.
Harrison (23-1, 19 KOs) was the aggressor from the outset, jabbing at range to set up his favorite weapon – a powerful right. The Detroit native floored Guerrero with a big right with 15 seconds to go in the second round. The southpaw got up, but looked hurt and was saved by the bell.
Guerrero (28-4, 20 KOs) had his moments in the fourth and fifth rounds after some heedful advice from his corner, but he couldn’t get inside to escape Harrison’s powerful right. It was a clean left hook midway through the sixth that ultimately finished Guerrero. After Harrison dropped Guerrero with the left, the Dominican Republic native beat the count but had no legs and went back to the canvas after four more consecutive shots from Harrison, forcing referee Gary Rosato to stop the bout at 1:56 of the sixth.
“I threw punches back and I finished the rounds stronger than him,” dijo Harrison, que aterrizó 57 por ciento de sus tiros de la energía. “Dominé la pelea. My dad kept telling me to put the hook behind the right hand and if I had listened to him better I could have gotten the knockout much quicker.
“I was backing him up. My game plan was to take advantage of the fact that southpaws don’t fight well going backwards. I tried to just keep putting him back and discouraging him. I told everyone I was taking the fight to him. What’s not to like about me? I’m exciting.
“I want big fights, I want to go back to Detroit and I want the Willie Nelson rematch.”
Said Guerrero: “I wasn’t on today. He wasn’t faster than me, stronger than me or more skilled. I just locked up. I wasn’t listening to my corner, I didn’t do anything tonight.
“It just happens. Sometimes you have a bad day. Today was as bad as I could ever imagine.
“We’ll go back to the drawing board. I didn’t do what I was supposed to do. We trained so hard. He wasn’t as fast or strong as we thought he’d be. Today was a bad day for me to have a bad day.”

JULIAN WILLIAMS
“I want to thank Matano and his team for coming all the way over here. We’ve had a difficult time getting opponents for different reasons, but I’m excited to headline this stacked card.
“When I win this fight I’ll be able to accomplish my dream of being a world champion. It’s one step closer.
“I’m going to attack the head and body as much as I can. I’ve got enough film on him to see what he’s got. He’s pretty solid. He got better each time out. But those guys in Italy don’t have the skills that I have. I think he’s going to bring it for as long as he can handle it.
“He’s an awkward fighter. He’s definitely a boxer and he can be a little skittish in the ring. I know I’ve fought the better competition and I’ve trained my hardest for this.
“I’m ready to make a statement. I’m not worried about a knockout. However the win comes, it’s great. I’m just looking to win and beat him down.
“I’m expecting a good Philadelphia crowd to be out here supporting me. Ninety percent of my career I’ve been on the West Coast and other places. But now fighting in front of my hometown fans, there’s nothing better. It’s perfect.”
MARCELLO MATANO
“I feel very good. I’ve been here since Friday so I have gotten used to the time zone difference and I’m ready to fight. My American experience is just starting and I’m looking forward to it.
“It’s been a hard two months of training for this fight. This is by far the most important fight of my career so I’ve trained even harder than I usually do.
“I know that Julian Williams is a top-notch athlete and that he is coming to give his best, al igual que yo. It’s going to be an exciting fight because we both want to get to the top.
“I can adapt myself to any opponent. I can be a boxer or I can be a brawler. But in my heart, I am a warrior and I will come forward all fight. I am coming to leave that ring victorious.
“This is a dream come true to come here to the United States. I’ve always worked hard and it’s gotten me here. I will put all of my heart into the ring en sábado noche.”
ANTOINE DOUGLAS
“You can always look forward to an action-packed fight when I step into the ring. I have an admirable opponent who I know is coming to fight.
“I’ve grown into this role and into who I am. If you asked me earlier in my career, I would have never thought I’d be here. This is great and it comes from all the hard work I’ve put in over the years.
“You will see my growth Sábado night in the ring. I plan on being victorious. The work I put in won’t let me be any less than that. I’m looking forward to the action.
“I have a very strong opponent and I think it will make for a more exciting fight than Sam Soliman.
“I just always have to be prepared for whatever is thrown at me. Esto es boxeo – there are no guarantees. We just have to be prepared for everything and do our best.
“The styles of Soliman and Khurtsidze are completely different, but we always base our offense and defense off a fighting at range and working the jab. I’m not going in blind – I’ve faced opponents who come forward. We’ll be ready for him and ready to make the adjustments in the ring.
“Una victoria en sábado will definitely put me in a position for a title shot. We just take it day-by-day. It’s not about looking at future opponents. We take each step successfully and see where it puts us.”
AVTANDIL KHURTSIDZE
“I’m very happy to be here and I’m grateful for the opportunity. I’m fighting a very strong fighter. Once I step into the ring I’m expecting a good challenge and I can’t wait for Sábado noche.
“Everything in training went well. We’ve trained really hard and we’re ready for Sábado noche.
“Douglas is a good fighter. He’s a good boxer and he has a good left hook. But none of that means anything until you get in the ring.
“Once I step into the ring, I will bring 100 por ciento. I am not going to stop swinging until Douglas goes down.”
FERNANDO GUERRERO
“We’re ready to fight. We had a great training camp and there’s not too much to say. It’s warrior time.
“I’ve been through my ups and downs, but I’m still here and I’m not going anywhere. This is for my whole nation, everyone in the Dominican Republic who is watching. You have to step in that ring for something.
“Este no es un juego. This is the only sport that you cannot play. I’m going to make this one of those fights that will be one of the best of the year. It will either be the best knockout or the best fight of the year. This is going to be memorable.
“This is the kind of opponent who will bring out the best of me. Everybody has to watch out for me. Voy a hacer una declaración en sábado.”

LEYENDAS

By Steve Farhood

 

Boxing without legends would be like religion without saints.

There’s no formula for a fighter to advance from star to superstar to legend. The process depends on timing, circumstance, and sometimes as little as a point or two on the judges’ tarjetas.

And oh, sí: It helps if a guy can really fight.

As we celebrate 30 years of boxing on SHOWTIME, we’re focusing on a different theme each month. Throughout March, the theme will be Legends.

En el 130 years from John L. Sullivan to Floyd Mayweather, boxing has given us what other sports can’t provide. Consider:

  • The Associated Press voted Luis Firpo’s knockdown of Jack Dempsey as the greatest sports moment of the first half of the 20th Century.
  • The Frazier-Ali “Fight Of The Century” in 1971 was easily the most anticipated sporting event in history.
  • Last year’s Mayweather-Pacquiao fight generated more than half-a-billion dollars — in one night!

Legends are made by big moments … and how they respond to those moments.

Por SHOWTIME, we’ve featured three decades worth of legends. Here’s a look at those who will share the spotlight in March.

MARVIN HAGLER: Since Vince Lombardi didn’t exactly say, “Timing isn’t everything, it’s the only thing,” Hagler should’ve said it.

Hagler was a great fighter long before he was a superstar, but it wasn’t until he fought Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns, and Sugar Ray Leonard (three of Hagler’s last six bouts) that Marvin became Marvelous.

Hagler’s one appearance on SHOWTIME, which happened to be the first bout televised on the network (Marzo 1986), was the final win of his career. Undefeated over 10 año, Hagler had established himself as one of the greatest middleweights in history. And while it could be argued in hindsight that at age 31, the ultimate blue-collar fighter was slightly past his prime, much of what made Hagler special was on display during his savage defense against his unbeaten and ferocious challenger, John Mugabi.

Almost three decades after his retirement, Hagler remains the middleweight today’s 160-pounders are measured against.

SUGAR RAY LEONARD: If Hagler bloomed late, Leonard was a superstar before he threw a single punch as a professional.

Back in the mid-‘70s, that’s what a magnetic smile, an Olympic gold medal, and repeated exposure on prime time television could do for a young fighter.

It’s ironic that Leonard was initially viewed by some as a coddled creation of the media. De hecho, he was as tough as any fighter of the star-studded early-‘80s. Better yet, he remains the best fighter I’ve covered in 38 years on the boxing beat.

Leonard’s appearance on SHOWTIME was the penultimate bout of his career. In electing to end yet another lengthy layoff, Sugar Ray, 34, chose outstanding 23-year-old super welterweight titlist Terry Norris as his opponent. Leonard dropped from 160 a 154 pounds and fought at Madison Square Garden for the first time.

The bout served as a reminder that at least in a pre-Bernard Hopkins world, boxing was very much a young man’s game.

FELIX TRINIDAD: There are only three Hispanic fighters who became superstars in the USA without speaking English. The first was Panama’s Roberto Duran. The second was Mexico’s Julio Cesar Chavez.

The third was Puerto Rico’s Trinidad.

Trinidad’s motto might as well have been, “If you can’t be from America, then beat America.”

A classic puncher with a boy scout’s smile and a fan-friendly personality, Trinidad made his name by defeating four U.S. Olímpicos, Pernell Whitaker, Oscar De La Hoya (albeit by a terrible decision), David Reid, y Fernando Vargas.

Por otra parte, Whitaker, De La Hoya, and Reid had all been gold medalists.

The fight we’ll feature on Marzo 17 el SHO EXTREME, Trinidad vs. Reid, was Trinidad’s 14th and final appearance on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING and SHOWTIME pay-per-view.

From his welterweight title-winning kayo of Maurice Blocker in 1993 through his defense against Mahenge Zulu in 1998, 13 of Trinidad’s 14 bouts were aired on SHOWTIME. Twelve of those fights were knockout wins.

Where Trinidad ranks with Wilfredo Gomez, Miguel Cotto, Carlos Ortiz, Wilfred Benitez, and the rest of the legends from Puerto Rico is debatable. What is inarguable is that “Tito” generated as much excitement as any fighter of his era.

RICARDO LOPEZ: What’s smaller: the chance that a strawweight (105 libra) becomes an American television star or the fighter himself?

There’s never been an American world champion at strawweight (or minimumweight). We just don’t grow fighters that size. De hecho, until the emergence of Mexico’s Lopez in the early-’90s, most American boxing fans couldn’t have identified a single strawweight if armed with a map of the world and a set of WBC ratings.

Lopez was so complete, so dominant, so technically perfect, that from 1994 to ’99, he was a staple of SHOWTIME’s boxing programming. El peleó 13 consecutive bouts on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING or SHOWTIME Pay-Per-View, and the first 11 of those contests were defenses of the strawweight title.

And if you think the little guys can’t punch, bien, there were some one-punch kayos sprinkled in.

López, who retired with a mark of 51-0-1, is universally acknowledged as an all-time great. Too bad he never fought America’s Michael Carbajal at light flyweight. Had he won that bout, he’d likely be acknowledged as one of the two or three greatest Mexican fighters ever.

Which is saying a lot for a fighter who never faced an opponent recognized by the American viewing public.
