SLOAN, Iowa - janeiro 17, 2020 - Três perspectivas promissoras e invictas de Detroit brilharam durante ShoBox: The New Generation’s 250th episódio sexta-feira à noite com o russo Vladimir Shishkin liderando o caminho com uma sólida vitória por decisão unânime no evento principal na sexta-feira à noite no WinnaVegas Casino em Sloan, Iowa.



Com o treinador de Tyson Fury, Sugarhill Steward, do famoso Kronk Gym em Detroit trabalhando em seu canto, Shishkin, de 28 anos, em rápido crescimento (10-0, 6 KOs) venceu pela segunda vez consecutiva em ShoBox em uma batalha de lutadores invictos enquanto dominava Ulises Sierra (15-1-2, 9 KOs) de San Diego, Califa. A luta de 10 rounds dos super médios foi marcada em favor de Shishkin 100-90 e 99-91 duas vezes.



Também postando vitórias estavam os alunos do Steward, Shohjahon Ergashev, que registrou um nocaute no primeiro assalto, e o nativo de Detroit Ja’Rico O’Quinn, que venceu por unanimidade em uma luta dominante de peso galo de oito assaltos.



“Ergashev foi espetacular, mas você quase sente que gostaria de ver mais,”Disse o Hall of Fame e ShoBox analista Steve Farhood. “Ele é o mais avançado dos três e Ja’Rico O’Quinn se vendeu esta noite e foi muito agressivo, talvez muito agressivo. ”



Shishkin disse depois que lutou com um ferimento no bíceps esquerdo e no cotovelo esquerdo. “Foi uma luta muito mais dura do que eu pensava, porque lutei com uma mão a maior parte da luta,"Ele disse. “Fiquei surpreso que ele aguentou meus socos, mas eu não conseguia tirar a mão dele do caminho com a esquerda para bater nele com a direita. Isso me afetou muito porque eu uso muito isso. ”



Ele adicionou: “Eu quero Canelo (Alvarez). Eu queria (David) Benavidez. Eu quero os próximos campeões. Estou pronto para o próximo nível. Com Sugarhill ao meu lado, estou pronto para qualquer pessoa. Mesmo com uma mão. ”



Steward é sobrinho do lendário treinador Emanuel Steward. “Achei que todos os caras de Detroit se saíram bem,”Sugarhill Steward disse. “Todos eles tiveram uma boa experiência na televisão. Esse é um fator que alguns lutadores não levam em consideração. Quando eles aparecem na televisão, eles não sabem como lidar com isso. Você tem que estar acostumado a estar em um palco como este e estou feliz com a forma como todos eles atuaram. Todos os caras de Detroit apareceram na televisão para promover suas carreiras. Estou muito feliz com tudo ”.



Sierra não tinha uma resposta para as fotos do corpo de Shishkin enquanto Shishkin conectava 65 tiros de corpo para 28 para serra. “Ele era astuto e forte,”Disse Sierra, quem se tornou o 189th boxeador perderá seu recorde invicto em ShoBox no 19 anos da série. “Mas também me machuquei com uma torção na mão um mês antes desta luta e não acertei as malas desde então.”



Na luta co-featured, Shohjahon Ergashev super leve e contundente (18-0, 16 KOs) mostrou sua poderosa mão esquerda quando o canhoto do Uzbequistão também treinado por Steward nocauteou Adrian Estrella (29-5, 24 KOs). A luta acabou em 92 segundos no primeiro assalto com um tiro devastador no corpo, pois Estrella foi incapaz de sobreviver à contagem de 10.



“Acabei de ver a janela do corpo, então eu lancei o tiro,Disse Ergashev, que está classificado entre os 15 primeiros em três dos quatro principais órgãos sancionadores. “Eu não planejava nocauteá-lo no primeiro round. Eu queria fazer algumas rodadas. O cara é durável e experiente, então eu pensei que iria, mas quando eu vi aquela abertura, Eu tive que levá-la.



“Eu sabia que tinha acabado no segundo em que pousou. Eu sabia que ele não iria se levantar disso. Ninguém poderia. Essa foi uma mensagem para a divisão superleve. É hora do Shoh! Não importa onde eu lute, é sempre a hora do Shoh. ”



Depois que Ergashev deu o golpe de nocaute, Estrella de Fort Worth, Texas, desceu contorcendo-se de dor do uppercut esquerdo ao fígado e incapaz de continuar.



“Comecei a me mover e tentei usar meu jab, mas ele foi muito rápido com aquele soco,”Disse Estrella. “Ele só me deu um soco muito forte no estômago e eu fiquei paralisado na tela. Eu tentei me levantar, mas eu não conseguia ouvir o árbitro contando. Não consegui ouvir nada, e eu não conseguia me mover. Foi um tiro e tanto. ”



Na abertura da cerimônia, antigo não. 1-classificou U.S. amador no peso galo, Ja’Rico O’Quinn (14-0-1, 8 KOs) foi impressionante no seu ShoBox estréia como ele superou um jogo Oscar Vasquez (15-3-1, 3 KOs) em uma decisão unânime 79-73 três vezes em 118 libras.



O WBO Não. 10-o peso galo júnior classificado O’Quinn trabalhou o corpo de forma eficaz durante a luta de oito assaltos conectando-se 83 tiros de corpo para 40 para Vasquez de Reno, Nev. O'Quinn superou Vasquez com uma média de 88 socos por rodada para Vasquez 59.2.



“Eu dou a este desempenho um seis, para ser honesto,”Disse O'Quinn. “Eu quero lutar contra pessoas maiores e mais altas, é a isso que estou acostumada. Eu não estou tirando nada do Oscar. Não importa o que eu sempre estarei por cima. Mesmo quando as coisas podem ficar feias, Eu sei como ganhar lindo. ”



Farhood chamou a luta de “altamente competitiva, luta unilateral. ”



Adicionado O’Quinn: “Eu entrei nessa luta sabendo que Oscar Vasquez era um cara durão. Eu sabia que ele iria se apresentar para tornar isso feio, então meu plano era boxear ele, mas se eu tivesse que, ficar lá e negociar com ele. Eu sabia que seria mais forte do que ele e seria capaz de receber seu soco. Foi difícil acertar minhas tacadas com ele apoiado em mim. Eu não poderia transformá-lo como queria e cortar os ângulos, mas nós viemos, nós conquistamos e eu ganhei. ”



O'Quinn, que superou um lento começo perdendo o primeiro turno, terminou a rodada sete enfaticamente com uma série de socos que abalaram Vasquez, que ficou de pé e não desistiu. “Eu acho que fui incrível,”Disse Vasquez, um operador de guindaste de 32 anos. “Foi uma luta muito acirrada. Eu pensei que estava ganhando as primeiras cinco rodadas. Ele me machucou uma vez no sétimo round e isso me custou muito. Ele foi um lutador melhor esta noite. ”



As lutas de sexta-feira foram promovidas pela Salita Promotions. A transmissão completa será reproduzida na segunda-feira, Janeiro 20 em 10 p.m. ET / PT no SHOWTIME EXTREME e estará disponível no SHOWTIME ANYTIME® e SHOWTIME on DEMAND®.

Two-Division World Champion Garcia Prepares for WBC Welterweight Title Eliminator Against Hard-Hitting Ivan Redkach Saturday, Janeiro 25 Vivo no canal Showtime® do Barclays Center, em Brooklyn

PHILADELPHIA (Janeiro 15, 2020) – campeão do mundo Dois divisão Danny “Rápido” Garcia is eager for another crack at returning to the championship ranks, but knows that he can’t look past the hard-hitting Banheiro “O Terrible” Redk when they face off in a WBC Welterweight Title Eliminator Saturday, Janeiro 25 viver no canal Showtime do Barclays Center, a casa de BROOKLYN BOXE ™, in a Premier Boxing Champions event.

I’m just taking it one fight at a time,” disse García. “I’ve been that way my whole career. I know that you can’t overlook anyone. I’m totally locked in on Ivan, and that’s it.

We’re just working hard and working smart. We’re making the necessary adjustments for Redkach specifically, but this is just another fighter in front of us. I noticed that he’s really hungry. He obviously wants to win, and he’s coming off of three solid victories. He has his confidence back now. I just have to be ready for whatever he brings to the table on January 25.

Redkach is coming off a career-best victory in June, when he knocked out former two-division champion Devon Alexander in his first fight campaigning at welterweight. It was Redkach’s third straight victory since losing to John Molina Jr. in a memorable 2017 firefight that saw both men hit the canvas.

I caught some highlights of his fight against Devon, but not the whole fight,” disse García. “I saw the full Molina fight though, and I know what I’m up against. Molina caught him, but before that, Ivan was doing well. He just got careless. So I just have to be on my A-game and make no mistakes.

Garcia’s last outing was a victory in April over veteran contender Adrian Granados that was notable in that Garcia flashed impressive power in becoming the first person to ever knock out the durable Granados.

I feel like my new conditioning coach has really been able to help me with different kinds of strength training,” disse García. “We’re hitting different muscle groups and it definitely showed against Granados.

With his return to Barclays Center on January 25, Garcia makes his eighth headlining appearance at the venue, mais do que qualquer lutador. Garcia also holds the arena’s single event boxing attendance record, para o dele 2017 welterweight title unification showdown against Keith Thurman. The Philadelphia-native has made a boxing home just a couple of hours up I-95 from his hometown, starting with headlining the venue’s first boxing event in 2012.

It’s just a great atmosphere in Brooklyn and at Barclays Center,” disse García. “The fans there have gotten to know me really well, and all my fans in Philly can make the quick drive up. They love to watch me fight there and they know when Danny Garcia comes to New York, it’s going to be a great night of boxing.

With a win in this title eliminator, Garcia would put himself in line for the WBC welterweight title held by unified champion Errol Spence Jr. Garcia has also been rumored as a possible next opponent for WBA Welterweight Champion Manny Pacquiao. If one of those two opponents are next for Garcia, he is confident in his abilities to become world champion again.

I feel like my style is dangerous for both Spence and Pacquiao,” disse García. “For Errol, I see he likes to stand in front of his opponents and he isn’t the hardest guy to hit. With Manny, I feel like my counter punching and style would also be hard for him. Assim, I like my chances against both of them.

The Capitol Heights, Maryland native Russell (30-1, 18 KOs) has held his WBC Featherweight Title since 2015 when he stopped multiple division champion Jhonny Gonzalez to emphatically capture the belt. The 31-year-old is part of one of boxing’s premier fighting families as he is trained by his father Gary Sr., and trains alongside his younger brothers, unbeaten super lightweight Gary Antuanne and undefeated bantamweight Antonio. Russell most recently stopped former champion Kiko Martinez in May on SHOWTIME after previously defeating then unbeaten challenger Joseph Diaz Jr in 2018 in a hometown defense.

I’m going to take care of business against a strong opponent and display all my skills like I always do.”

The 27-year-old Nyambayar (11-0, 9 KOs) represented his native Mongolia in the 2012 Olympics but now lives in the U.S. and is training out of Las Vegas. Nyambayar ascended up the featherweight rankings after his extensive amateur career with victories over then unbeaten Harmonito Dela Torre and former interim champion Oscar Escandon. Most recently he won his first 12-round decision by defeating former champion Claudio Marrero in January.

“This is going to be an exciting fight for everyone watching on February 8,” said Nyambayar. “Gary Russell Jr. is a great champion who is very talented, but he has the WBC belt and that’s what I want. I’m training hard to win this fight and I will be ready for anything that Russell brings to the ring.”

Rigondeaux(19-1, 13 KOs) will look to move down and capture a title in a second weight class in his SHOWTIME debut. Since turning professional in 2009 after one of the best amateur careers in historyRigondeaux has showcased masterful technical skills that made him a unified 122-pound world champion and perennial member of the pound-for-pound list. A two-time Olympic gold medalist for his native CubaRigondeaux made his name with victories over the likes of Nonito Donaire, Rico Ramos and Joseph Agbeko. Most recentlyRigondeaux scored an exciting eighth-round stoppage of former champion Julio Ceja in June.

Born in Venezuela and fighting out of Panama, Solnos (30-5-1, 14 KOs) fará sua U.S. estreia em fevereiro 8 while riding a five-fight winning streak. Solnos captured a super flyweight world title in 2013 amidst a 14-bout unbeaten run. He has lost by decision in his two previous attempts at 118-pound title, including a controversial loss to Jamie McDonnell, which he has bounced back from on his current win streak.

Arboleda (15-1, 13 KOs) has ripped off five straight victories by stoppage since he suffered the only loss of his career against Recky Dulay in 2017. The 25-year-old Arboleda from Curundu, Panama will be fighting in the U.S. pela primeira vez em sua carreira. He’s coming off a knockout victory over Victor Betancourt on August 24.

The 31-year-old Veléz (29-5-1, 21 KOs) has strung together three straight knockout victories since losing to Ryan Garcia in 2018. The Juncos, Puerto Rico resident is coming off a knockout victory over Hector Ruben Ambriz Suarez on July 27 and is looking for another championship opportunity.

“O acampamento de treinamento tem sido ótimo. I’ve been training with my brothers and sister on the undercard. Saturday night we’re going to make history again. There hasn’t been a title fight in over 20 years and I’m excited to be in this position to open doors for others and myself.



“This is my first time fighting in Atlanta. I’ve been coming here for over four or five years and I’ve been wanting to fight here. Atlanta always shows me love and I always thought that me fighting here would be big. I knew I had a big fan base here.



“Saturday night we’re going to have a big fight. Thank you to Gamboa for taking the chance. Saturday night it’s going to be an action-packed fight and we’ll see who’s got what it takes.



“I’m pretty sure Gamboa watched my last fight. He’s just saying he didn’t to be cocky. I know he at least watched it heading into this fight. We’ll see Saturday night. He’s been a little cocky, so I have to make him pay.



“I can’t say whether I’ll get the knockout, but I’ve trained very hard and I’ve been focused on the main goal, which is to get the win. I know that Gamboa is a tough opponent and he’ll lay it all on the line. If it goes 12 rounds, it doesn’t matter to me. I’m looking to make this a great fight for me and also for the fans.



“I believe that I haven’t gone past nine rounds and I’m undefeated, so I think that’s a good thing for me. I’ve been doing this for so many years that I believe Gamboa can’t bring anything to the ring that I haven’t seen.



“I know that I have to come in there focused, strong and fast. Let’s see what it all comes out to. I’m ready and hopefully he’s ready to give the fans what they want to see.



“Saturday night everyone should be looking for a great fight, not just from Gamboa and me, but the whole undercard. On Saturday night the fight fans win. We’re both bringing our all and we’ll see what Saturday night brings for each of us.”



YURIORKIS GAMBOA



“My job isn’t to pay attention to any trash talk. My only focus is to go in there at 150% and give it my all. I don’t care about any of the chatter outside of the ring.



“The confidence that I have comes from my focus and the hard work that I’ve put into this camp. I know what I have to do December 28. Everything from camp has unfolded how I wanted to leading into fight night.



“I’m very appreciative to have this opportunity to fight for the world title on Saturday night. I have to make the best of this position that I’m in. I’m still at the level where I know that I can compete and beat the best fighters in the sport.



“My focus and discipline has allowed me to get to the position that I’m in today. I’ve always relied upon that heavily and it hasn’t failed me yet.



“Gervonta knocking his opponents out and not going past the ninth round is great for him, but I don’t think it has anything to do with my resume. I’ve faced stronger fighters than Gervonta and I’ve been able to beat them. He’s not going to bring anything I haven’t seen.



“We’re thrilled that the fight landed in Atlanta and we can tell you that the fans are going to be very happy with the fight they see Saturday. I came here to win and I’m definitely ready to go all 12 rounds if I have to.



“I’ve had a great training camp and I know what I’m able to give on Saturday. I’m giving my all and then some. Atlanta, be ready. We’re going to give you a war.”



JEAN PASCAL



“This is my first time in the city of Atlanta and I might have to move here after my victory on Saturday night.



“I’m excited to be able to display my talents on SHOWTIME on Saturday night. I’m at the top of my game and my whole team has helped me get to here.



“Badou Jack is a solid fighter with great defense and good attack. I’ve had a great camp in Puerto Rico. I’ve been away from my family for three months and I’m war ready. Certifique-se de que você sintonize.



“Badou and I sparred, but it was a long time ago back in 2014. Sparring is sparring. I was getting ready for Sergey Kovalev. It was a good session, but at the time he was at 168-pounds. I don’t rely on that sparring because it was so long ago.



“I know that Badou has had a long layoff and he’s fresh and will be even hungrier. I’m always hungry and that will make it a great fight on Saturday night.



“I’ve been fighting at the highest level for the last 11 anos. That means something. I’m a special fighter. I have things that nobody can teach, which is a chin and a heart.”



JACK Badou



“I had a great training camp, which everyone says, but I really do feel great. Eu sou 36 and I feel like I’m 26 novamente. I can’t wait for Saturday night to hear ‘and the new’.



“I guess you have to wait until Saturday night for me to prove that I still have it. I was flat against Marcus Browne, regardless of the cut, but I feel much better this time than I did heading into that fight.



“All of the close decisions I’ve had in the past, everyone who watched those fights knows that those were wins. Saturday night I’m going to win and there will be no doubt.



“Gervonta was on my undercard and now I’m on his and I’m very proud of him. He’s already a superstar.



“I take care of myself. I don’t do anything outside the ring to jeopardize my career. I have a great nutritionist who gives me all organic foods. You can talk to my strength and conditioning coach as far as how I’m looking, but I feel amazing.



“I’m going to take everything one fight at a time. I think Pascal can bring the best out of me on Saturday night. Styles make fights and I think our styles will mesh.



“Pascal and I both come to fight. Marcus Browne is a southpaw and he’s more evasive. So it’s hard to compare. Pascal is a tough guy and I expect nothing less than a tough fight.”



JOSE Uzcategui



“I’m grateful to be back in this position and I promise the crowd won’t be disappointed. I’m going to be around for a long time and I’m going to get my world title back.



“I don’t talk much, but since he says I only have power, we’ll see on Saturday. Don’t talk today and then run around the ring.



“After I knock out Lionell Thompson, we’ll see what Caleb Plant has to say after that. I hope he will stand and fight. The only reason Plant is champion is because I messed up.



“When I’m at my best, I’m the best super middleweight on the planet. Everyone will see on Saturday.”



LIONELL THOMPSON



“I want to thank Uzcategui and his team for taking the fight. This is my first time in the super middleweight division and I plan on being victorious.



“To everybody that has helped me and supported me, I promise I won’t let you guys down. I’m planning on giving my best performance on Saturday night.



“I’ve been in there with bigger punchers at light heavyweight and the only time I was stopped was early in my career. I’ve beaten good guys and undefeated prospects that could punch.



“I believe that moving down in weight, and doing it right with a nutritionist, will be better for me. Anyone can hurt you. Everyone says that he can punch, but anyone who hits you right can hurt you.



“I’m focused on being perfect. I don’t plan on making any mistakes. I know what I can do. Anyone who has shared the ring with me will say I’m one of the most skillful fighters out there. Floyd Mayweather even said it.



“I know Uzcategui is tough, but I’m not worried because I’m bringing my best. I believe I’ll be victorious. I respect him and he’s definitely a force to be reckoned with, but I just believe in myself.”



LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO de Promoções Mayweather



“Saturday night, it’s going to be lit. I’m very excited about this card. I can recall when we first talked about bringing this fight to Atlanta, there was only one name that was synonymous with tapping into a market that hasn’t had a big fight in 20 anos. When it comes to excitement, the name Gervonta Davis goes hand in hand.



“We knew that this entire community would be involved. We know that this would be the most talked about event and create a buzz that we haven’t seen in many years.



“We have an outstanding undercard, including a great co-main event with Jean Pascal and Badou Jack, which I guarantee will be a very entertaining match. These two are going to lay it all on the line.



“From top to bottom this is a very entertaining card. Looking at the main event, when you look at Gamboa, you know what he brings to the table. We’re not buying anything about him being an older fighter. He has a phenomenal pedigree and he has seen everything in that ring. This is a very dangerous fight for Gervonta and that’s what we want. We want nothing but the best for Gervonta.



“I think that Gamboa is going to bring out the best in “Tank” on Saturday night. We’re going to give you an entertaining card from top to bottom, with a main event that’s going to end in a knockout.”



STEPHEN ESPINOZA, President Sports & Programação de eventos, Showtime Networks Inc.



“It’s a big weekend for SHOWTIME as we have eight big boxing shows over the next 10 weeks, featuring some of the biggest names in the sport and some of boxing’s top young prospects. We couldn’t kick it off with a better fight card this Saturday night.



“It’s time to quit calling Gervonta a young star or a rising star, because what he has demonstrated this year is that he’s a bonafide star. That is without question when you go into three cities and bring out all the people that he has.



"No fim do dia, none of that matters on Saturday night. That’s what we love about this sport. You have labels, critics and big names, but none of it matters when the bell rings. Each one of these six fighters up here fights like an underdog, because they’ve all been underdogs before.



“Gervonta and Gamboa fight like they’re hungry and like they’re angry. They fight like there’s one plate in the middle of the ring. No co-main event, with Badou Jack and Jean Pascal, I’ll put their resumes against any fighter in the sport. They’ve fought tough fight after tough fight and they’re still fighting on this stage. Uzcategui is one of the hardest punchers in the sport, and Lionell Thompson is looking for his shot. With all of this together, we’re in for an entertaining night.”

We believe he is destined to become a world champion,”Disse Gordon Hall, who has been the Executive Producer and steward of ShoBox: A Nova Geração for all 19 anos e 250 editions of the cornerstone boxing series. “Shohjahon Ergashev was on prospects to watch lists in 2018 and has lived up to lofty expectations. His aggressive style and punching power make him a fighter who boxing fans want to see. 2020 will be a big year for both fighters. This series was built on giving young, talented fighters national television exposure and we are excited to get a first look at Ja’Rico O’Quinn, a U.S. amateur standout who is an all-action fighter with high expectations.”



“On January 17, boxing fans are going to see some of the best prospects in boxing from big to small,”Referido promotor Dmitriy Salita. “The card features young, hungry fighters in the super flyweight, junior middleweight and super middleweight divisions. Vladimir Shishkin, Shohjahon Ergashev and Ja’Rico O’Quinn are all undefeated, world-rated fighters on their way to national recognition and world titles. Primeiro, they have to pass the biggest tests of their careers.”



The 28-year-old Shishkin shined in his United States and ShoBox: A Nova Geração estréia em agosto, registering an eighth-round technical knockout against then once-beaten DeAndre Ware. Standing at 6-foot-1, Shishkin was a standout amateur in Russia where he compiled 301 ganha em 330 fights before turning professional in 2016. He has won his last four contests – all scheduled 10 ou 12 round fights – via knockout, incluindo um 10th round TKO of former world title challenger Nadjib Mohammedi prior to his American debut in October 2018. Currently training in Detroit under Javan “Sugar” Hill, Steward at the new Kronk Gym, Shishkin is looking to continue his ascent up the rankings in the super middleweight division with a second consecutive statement win on ShoBox.



“Training with Sugar Hill at Kronk Gym is going really well, and I can guarantee that I will be ready and I will put my newly learned skills to use,” Shishkin said. “I hope for another emphatic victory that impresses the American boxing fans. I’m looking forward to putting on a great fight and letting the champions at 168 know that this is my year.”



The 30-year-old Sierra, from San Diego, Calif., is riding an eight-bout winning streak including a unanimous 10-round decision over Fidel Hernandez for the vacant WBC Silver Super Middleweight Championship in April. The son of former San Diego Padres pitcher Ulises “Candy” Sierra, he has sparred with future Hall of Famers Andre Ward and Canelo Alvarez and former world champion Peter Quillin. Prior to Sierra’s career-best win in April, he won four straight contests in Mexico, incluindo três por nocaute.



“I’m happy for the opportunity to face a good opponent and I’ll use him as a steppingstone to get where I want to get,”Disse Sierra. “I still have a month of preparation to get into the best shape of my life. I know Shishkin is undefeated and has a Russian amateur pedigree. It’ll be the hardest fight of my career, but I will do anything and everything to come out victorious.”



Hard-hitting super lightweight Shohjahon Ergashev (17-0, 15 KOs), do Uzbequistão, is ranked in the top-15 in three of the four major sanctioning bodies. The 28-year-old is coming off an impressive fourth-round knockout of veteran Abdiel Ramirez this past August onShoBox. In his previous appearances on the prospect developmental series, the former member of the Uzbek national team scored a third-round knockout against then top-10 rated Sonny Fredrickson, and a 10-round unanimous decision over previously unbeaten Mykal Fox. The powerful southpaw currently trains alongside stablemate Shishkin in Detroit.



“I am adding new dimensions to my game and plan on making a big statement in the first ShoBox of the year,Disse Ergashev. “2020 is going to be my year and I am going to set the tone in my fight with Estrella.”



Estrela, who hails from Monterrey, México, se tornou profissional em 2010 e ganhou 22 consecutive fights before he suffered his first setback in 2015. With just seven of his 33 pro fights going the full distance, Estrella is an all-action fighter typical of his Mexican roots. He earned a career-best win, a closely-contested split decision over Oscar Duarte, na sua U.S.. debut in February. Estrella will face his fourth undefeated prospect in his last five fights as he looks to get his career back on track with a win over the highly-regarded Ergashev.



“This is an opportunity I’m going to take full advantage of,” said Estrella. “I’ve been in camp for the last two months, so I’ll be in perfect shape to go in there and do my thing. I know Ergashev is a southpaw and a hard puncher with a big KO record, but I’ve been in this situation before. I have too much experience for him. Knowing that if I win this fight I could get a world title shot is all the motivation I need.”



The 24-year-old O’Quinn is rated No. 10 in the world by the WBO. Ranked as the No.1 amateur bantamweight in the country compiling a record of 130-18 antes de virar profissional em 2015, O’Quinn boasts blazing-fast hands and an ability to throw effortless combinations. A fan favorite in his hometown of Detroit, he was last seen winning a unanimous decision over James Smith of Flint, Mich., em Outubro.



“The time has finally come,”Disse O'Quinn. “It’s my time to show the world who the king is on live TV. For those that don’t know, Janeiro 17, I’m going to show the world greatness in is purest form. They are going to see charisma, skills and explosiveness. I know I’m fighting a tough competitor. Ele não vem estabelecer. I’m coming prepared for war. It’s going to be a great night for boxing in the super flyweight division. I’m putting all the champions on notice.”



Vasquez, from Reno, Nev., is a former streaking prospect in the super flyweight division. After losing his third professional fight, the 5-foot Vasquez rattled off thirteen consecutive wins between 2012 e 2017 and was well on his way to making a name for himself in the division before a unanimous decision loss to once-beaten Ricardo Sandoval in May 2018 halted his momentum. After a year-and-a-half layoff, Vasquez returned by fighting Gilberto Mendoza to a majority draw in October. Em 32 anos, the hungry Vasquez finds himself in a do-or-die fight against O’Quinn.



“Training in Reno is going amazing,”Disse Vasquez. “It’s such a tremendous opportunity for my life. I’m trying to get to a high ranking and it’s a dream come true. I know O’Quinn is undefeated. He’s a boxer who likes to grab a lot. He doesn’t like pressure. I’m hoping I will tire him out. I think he’ll eventually give in as the fight goes on if I put on a lot of pressure. In the later rounds, he won’t even want to come out of his corner.”



Barry Tompkins vai chamar a ShoBox ação do ringue com Steve Farhood e ex-campeão mundial Raul Marquez servindo como analistas especializados. O produtor executivo é Gordon Hall com Richard Gaughan produção e direção de Rick Phillips.

GERVONTA DAVIS & YURIORKIS GAMBOA LOOK PARA REINICIAR O LEGADO DA HISTÓRIA DO ATLANTA BOXING INICIADA POR TODOS OS GRANDES MUHAMMAD ALI & EVANDER HOLYFIELD

Davis e Gamboa se enfrentam pelo WBA Lightweight World Championship na primeira luta pelo título mundial de Atlanta em mais de 20 Anos no próximo sábado, Dezembro 28 Vivo no canal Showtime® Da State Farm Arena

ATLANTA – Dezembro 18, 2019 – Quando Gervonta Davis e Yuriorkis Gamboaconfronto pela vaga WBA Lightweight World Championship em dezembro 28 na premiada State Farm Arena em Atlanta, eles farão história em um viveiro de boxe há muito mal servido que já sediou lutas monumentais com os membros do Hall da Fama Muhammad Ali e Evander Holyfield.

“Só para ser mencionado com os membros do Hall of Fame é incrível,” disse Davis. “Estou sem palavras. Não é só grande para mim, é grande para o boxe na cidade e todos os outros lutadores que têm a oportunidade de lutar no card.”

The Davis vs. O show Gamboa SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING apresenta duas lutas pelo título mundial e será o primeiro evento do campeonato mundial em Atlanta em mais de 20 anos. Jean Pascal vai defender seu WBA Light Heavyweight World Championship contra o ex-campeão de duas divisões Badou Jack em co-apresentação do evento Premier Boxing Champions.

Antes de dezembro 28, a última luta pelo título mundial em Atlanta foi a defesa do campeão mundial dos pesos pesados ​​Evander Holyfield IBF e WBA contra Vaughn Bean em setembro 19, 1998. O SHOWTIME transmitiu essa luta ao vivo desde o demolido Georgia Dome, onde 41,357 fãs presentes viram o andar residente de Atlanta Bean no 10th rodada a caminho de uma vitória por decisão unânime.

Apesar da forte participação e atmosfera festiva para Holyfield vs. Feijão, o Hall of Famer Holyfield lutou apenas quatro vezes em Atlanta em seu 57 lutas profissionais abrangendo quase três décadas. A cidade sediou a primeira luta pelo título de Holyfield, uma luta que é amplamente considerada a melhor luta de cruiserweight da história e uma das últimas grandes 15 lutas redondas. Em Julho 12, 1986, Holyfield desafiou o campeão WBA Cruiserweight Dwight Muhammad Qawi em uma luta de ida e volta que Holyfield venceu por decisão dividida para capturar seu primeiro título mundial.

Enquanto Holyfield vs. Qawi é considerada a melhor luta da história do boxe de Atlanta, o maior e mais significativo evento da cidade foi a luta de volta de Muhammad Ali em 1970. Ali foi destituído de seu título de peso pesado e exilado do boxe após ser controversamente condenado por evasão de convocação em 1967. Enquanto seu caso ainda estava em apelação nos EUA. Suprema Corte, Ali recebeu uma licença para lutar na Geórgia em sua primeira luta em mais de três anos e meio. Ali parou Jerry Quarry na terceira rodada em outubro 26, 1970 no City Auditorium em um evento que marcaria seu retorno triunfante. A condenação de Ali foi anulada no ano seguinte, em junho de 1971, apenas três meses após o “Luta do Século” com Joe Frazier.

Embora a Geórgia tenha sido o lar de vários campeões mundiais recentes, nenhum lutou em Atlanta como campeão. O falecido campeão mundial de duas divisões Vernon Forrest nasceu na vizinha Augusta e morava em Atlanta, entretanto ele nunca lutou como campeão na capital do estado. Similarmente, ex-campeão de duas divisões Paul Williams, também de Augusta, lutou apenas uma vez em Atlanta em 2001 antes de se tornar campeão.

Davis, quem está a caminho de esgotar seu terceiro local consecutivo do ano em três cidades diferentes, espera tornar o boxe em Atlanta um elemento permanente.

“O destaque estará em Atlanta,” disse Davis. “Eles não têm uma grande briga lá há muitos anos. Portanto, é um sonho trazer de volta o boxe em grande estilo, como fiz em Baltimore. Atlanta me acolheu de braços abertos por tantos anos. Sempre soube que tinha fãs e sempre quis lutar aqui. Agora é o momento perfeito na minha carreira para que isso aconteça.

“Eu sou um lutador, mas também sou fã. Então, estou ansioso por isso tanto quanto todo mundo. Vou dar tudo de mim, Eu sei que Gamboa vai dar tudo de si. Vai ser uma ótima noite em 28 de dezembro.”

Os ingressos para o evento, que é promovido pela Mayweather Promotions, Promoções GTD e Promoções TGB, estão à venda e disponíveis em Ticketmaster.com. Bons ingressos ainda estão disponíveis. Todos os ingressos começam em $54 e $104.

Ennis-Eyubov Announced As Co-Main Event To Claressa Shields vs. Ivana Habazin On SHOWTIME BOXING: EDIÇÃO ESPECIAL® From Ocean Casino Resort In Atlantic City



NOVA YORK - Dezembro 17, 2019 – Undefeated welterweight sensation Jaron Ennis will make his 2020 debut against hard-hitting Bakhtiyar Eyubov on Friday, Janeiro 10 viver no canal Showtime da Ocean Resort Casino, em Atlantic City.



The 22-year-old Ennis (24-0, 22 KOs) will take on Kazakhstan’s Eyubov (14-1-1, 12 KOs) just an hour away from his hometown of Philadelphia in the 10-round co-main event of a SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION tripleheader that begins at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.

Claressa Shields (9-0, 2 KOs) will take on Ivana Habazin (20-3, 7 KOs) for the WBC and WBO 154-pound World Championships in a long-anticipated main event. Na abertura da cerimônia, WBA Super Middleweight Champion Alicia Napoleon Espinosa (12-1, 7 KOs) meets IBF Champion Elin Cederroos (7-0, 4 KOs) in a 168-pound world title unification.



O evento é promovido pela Promoções Salita em associação com promoções T-REX BOXE. O Napoleon-Espinosa vs luta Cederroos é promovido pela Promoções Salita em associação com DiBella Entretenimento.



In Eyubov, Ennis will take on his toughest test to date as he looks to continue his rapid ascension in one boxing’s deepest divisions. The switch-hitter has scored 14 consecutive knockouts as has his level opposition has steadily increased since turning professional in 2016. He returned from a nine-month layoff in August of 2019 with a first round TKO of Franklin Mamani and followed that up with a third round TKO of Demian Fernandez on October 5. Against Fernandez, the come-forward and aggressive Ennis landed 43 percent of his power shots as he switched from orthodox to southpaw in a clinical performance in the main event of SHOWTIME BOXING: EDIÇÃO ESPECIAL.



Widely regarded as one of the top prospects in boxing, Ennis had two emphatic knockout victories on ShoBox: A Nova Geração em 2018. The Philadelphia native, que possui 10 first round knockouts and has yet to be pushed past the sixth round, was a standout amateur who won the 2015 National Golden Gloves was ranked as the No. 1 amateur at 141 pounds before turning pro.



“I’m coming to make another statement to the welterweight division and the world,” said Ennis. “I’m going to let them know that I’m here and that 2020 será o meu ano. I’m the future of this division and January 10 is the next step in proving that.”



The 33-year-old Eyubov, from Aktobe, Kazakhstan and currently based in Brooklyn, N.I., is known for his relentlessly aggressive fighting style. Quickly making a name for himself in the welterweight division, Eyubov tore through his first ten professional opponents, knocking them all out within the first three rounds including a third-round stoppage of Jared Robinson on ShoBox em 2016. Eyubov also owns impressive wins over Nicholas Givan (21-2-1) and Karim Mayfield (21-5-1) but is winless in his last two outings, including a majority draw with Jose Luis Rodriguez and a unanimous decision loss to undefeated Brian Ceballo. With just 16 professional fights to his name since moving on from the amateur ranks in 2012, Eyubov is eager to turn heads with a career-defining win over the highly regarded Ennis.



“On January 10, Jaron Ennis is going to be in the hardest fight of his life,” Eyubov said. “He has never faced anyone with my strength, skills and will to win. Bakha Bullet will shoot to do damage in Atlantic City and hand Ennis his first loss.”



“The Ennis vs. Eyubov fight is a classic crossroads fight and a must-win for both fighters,” said Eyubov promoter Dmitriy Salita. “It’s a big test for Ennis, who is a slick, skilled boxer, and a potentially career-changing opportunity for the aggressive, powerful and formerly world-rated contender in Eyubov. We expect fireworks on January 10th.



The previously announced WBA Super Lightweight World Title Eliminator between Shohjahon Ergashev and Keith Hunter has been postponed after Hunter injured his right hand during training. A new date and opponent for Ergashev will be announced in the coming days.

The fight against Redkach will be Garcia’s eighth appearance at Barclays Center.

“Barclays Center fan-favorite Danny García is back in Brooklyn as he continues his quest for the top spot in the welterweight division,”Disse Tom Brown, Presidente da TGB Promoções. “Danny has been in the biggest fights at Barclays Center and on January 25 there are sure to be fireworks when hard-hitting Ivan Redkach looks for a career-defining win. Redkach has upset the odds before and there’s no doubt he’ll leave it all in the ring with this opportunity to move closer to a world title fight. Combined with a former unified champion known for action fights in Jarrett Hurd, plus a rising star in Stephen Fulton, this card is loaded with intrigue from top to bottom.”

“Danny García and Jarrett Hurd are two of the biggest stars in the sport because they have consistently taken on the toughest challenges and they are always in all-action, exciting fights,"Disse Stephen Espinoza, President Sports & Programação de eventos, Showtime Networks Inc. “On January 25, both men are fighting to maintain their place at the top of two of boxing’s deepest divisions in important, must-win fights.

García (35-2, 21 KOs) is the latest in a long line of great boxers from Philadelphia who have made their mark on the sport. His run through the super lightweight division and two-year reign as a unified champion is one of the most impressive in modern history as he defeated a string of champions, including Nate Campbell, Kendall Holt, Erik Morales, Amir Khan, Zab Judah e Lucas Matthysse.

After dominating the super lightweight division, the 31-year-old García moved up to welterweight where he won the vacant WBC title with a unanimous decision over Robert Guerrero in 2016. He lost a split decision to Thurman in a unification match in 2017 and dropped a narrow unanimous decision to Shawn Porter for the WBC title in 2018. García and many pundits thought he won both those matches. Em sua última luta, García scored a spectacular knockout victory over Adrian Granados on April 20 to get back into position to regain the welterweight crown.

“I’m very excited to be headlining another SHOWTIME card and to go back to Barclays Center, my home away from home,” said García. “I can’t wait to step in the ring in Brooklyn and give fans the Danny García show. I watched a few of Redkach’s recent fights and he had a great knockout win over two-time champion Devon Alexander. Assim, I know he’s a tough fighter and competitor who I expect to bring the best out of me, and he’s someone who deserves this opportunity. But January 25 is tax season, so I’m going to have to tax him and pay him with a reality check.”

Redk (23-4-1, 18 KOs) has his sights set on winning a welterweight title and will face the toughest challenge of his career when he steps in against Garcia. The 33-year-old Redkach, who was born in Shostka, Ukraine and now lives in Los Angeles, is accustomed to stern tests. He started boxing as an amateur in Ukraine where he had over 300 lutas. When he turned professional he traveled to Mexico to train and develop the “Mexican Style’’ – a style that emphasis standing in the pocket and throwing hard shots to the body.

Things started out slowly for Redkach, but soon he began to hold his own in Mexico and prevailed, earning the nickname “El Terrible’’ from his training partners. Redkach won 14 de seu primeiro 18 professional fights by stoppage and has won three in a row, including most recently knocking out former world champion Devon Alexander in June.

“I’m very motivated to take a massive step in my career and get closer to becoming world champion against a strong and accomplished fighter like Danny García,” said Redkach. “I have been to a lot of Danny’s fights and now I get the chance to test myself against him. I am training very hard so that I am the best that I have ever been on January 25. I’m going to shock the boxing world just like I did against Devon Alexander. I’ve never been this hungry before and I’m confident I will win this fight.”

The former WBA and IBF champion at 154-pounds, Hurd (23-1, 16 KOs) returns to action for the first time since losing his belts via decision against Julian Williams in one of 2019’s best fights. The 29-year-old from Accokeek, Maryland captured his first title by stopping current WBC titlist Tony Harrison in 2017 and then added the WBA belt by defeating Erislandy Lara in 2018’s consensus Fight of the Year. Hurd earned his title opportunity by going on a run of knocking off unbeaten fighters including Frank Galarza and Oscar Molina, and also owns a successful title defense against Austin Trout at Barclays Center in 2017.

“Just because I fell back, doesn’t mean I fell off,”Disse Hurd. “I’m back and excited to fight at Barclays Center for the third time. I’m bringing the storm back on January and I’m going to make a statement everyone is going to see. You’re not going to want to miss this fight and the best Jarrett Hurd anyone’s seen.”

Santana (25-7-1, 12 KOs) has taken on the toughest challenges at 154 e 147 pounds and has made his name with an all-action action style throughout a long career as a contender. The 33-year-old will look to bounce back from a close decision loss to Abel Ramos in March, in a fight where Santana dropped Ramos in the second round. Prior to the setback against Ramos, the Santa Barbara, California native was coming off of a victory over Olympic gold medalist Felix Diaz in April 2018. Santana has faced former champions Jermell Charlo and Sadam Ali while also owning a six-round draw against Julian Williams in 2011.

“This is a great opportunity for me against a fighter like Jarrett Hurd,” said Santana. “When you get an opportunity like this, it’s hard to turn it down. My job is to rise to the occasion and have the best moment of my career on fight night. This is my Super Bowl. When I last fought at 154-pounds, I was basically self-trained. Now I have my coach Joseph Janik training me and I really think he’s the missing piece of the puzzle for me. I’m going to go in there and leave it all in the ring January 25.”

The 25-year-old Fulton (17-0, 8 KOs) has made a rapid rise through the super bantamweight ranks with superb boxing skills, befitting a slick fighter from Philadelphia. Lately Fulton has shown flashes of power that have caught his opponents off guard. In his last fight he stopped Isaac Avelar with a body shot to end their fight in the fifth round on August 24.

Fighting out of Odessa, Ukraine and training for this fight in Los Angeles, Khegai (16-0-1, 10 KOs) will make his third start in the U.S. em janeiro 25, after a successful U.S. debut in in May 2018 when he defeated Adam Lopez on the prospect developmental seriesShoBox: A Nova Geração. The 27-year-old has already been victorious twice in 2019, stopping Haidari Mchanjo in March and most recently winning a unanimous decision over Vladimir Tikhonov in August onShoBox.
