"Имах един куп забавно в последния си двубой, защото (Abel) Ramos просто идваха. Боря ветеран, a different kind of guy tomorrow. He’s tough with the Mexican style so I expect him to be smart and know all the tricks.

 

"Herrera идва с какво да губи, но аз обичам борбата с мексикански стил. Тренирам в Хюстън, така че той няма да донесе нищо не съм виждал преди.

 

"Аз може да бъде хлъзгав левичар или мога да караница. Аз просто обичам да се бори, поради което започна в бокса. Моето мислене е за взрив и бой, когато то се свежда до това. Понякога, ако не се удари Аз се отегчават, така че аз го смесват малко повече, така че аз ще се удари и след това мога да се върна. Мога да се приспособи към всеки стил.

 

"Това е третото ми битка на ShoBox и втората основна събитие. Приветствам налягане, но в същото време знам, че трябва да го игнорира и просто да се насладите и да се забавляват там.

 

"Психически, Чувствам, че съм готов за сериозна борба срещу някой от топ претенденти, но знам, че тези видове битки са все още малко за установяване на ред за мен. Аз все още имам много работа за вършене; Имам нужда да го задържи удари, докато не го оправи получите.

 

"Очаквам с нетърпение да добър бой утре. ''

 

АРЪН HERRERA

 

"Това е една интересна битка, защото и двамата сме идва в спорта. Виждал съм някои от неговите битки и знам какво съм против. Тя изглежда като Prograis обича да излезе и да идва да се бори, и аз ще направя същото, въпреки че аз съм може би повече от един боксьор от Слъгър.

 

"Това е за да се грижи за бизнес. Бил съм 12 кръга преди. I’ve fought some good fighters with good records. Това е само моя втора битка в Америка, но аз научих много от първата, и че определено ще ми помогне. Аз имам по-голямо доверие. Това няма да е ново преживяване за мен.

 

"Аз съм се борил със левичари преди, така след няколко кръга, Аз съм сигурен, че ще се чувстват комфортно. Аз съм категорично идва, за да спечели. Не мога да чакам да чуя отваряне звънец. ''

 

Oy BARANCHYK

"Това е 100 процента най-добрият човек, ние сме изправени. Ник е страхотен боец ​​и не можем да го подценяваме. Ние знаем, че всичко може да се случи в бокса. Сложих на работата във фитнеса и сега трябва да си върша работата на ринга.

 

"Аз съм перфоратор, Харесва ми да го донесе и аз идвам за нокаут.

 

"Аз съм само 23 но аз работя много усилено и се чувствам Идвам заедно. Аз съм в залата през цялото време. Едно от основните неща, с които работим по най-много е хладнокръвие във вътрешността на пръстена. Имам чувството, че съм се установят повече и работи на ваксината, но все пак е нещо, което ние работим върху.

 

"Просто не мога да ида и да прати всички вън. Това не е толкова лесно. Трябва да се създаде ви удари понякога. Аз никога не съм няма да се промени от това да бъде естествен перфоратор, моя отбор не се опитва да отнеме огъня в мен, те просто искат от мен да се успокоят. ''

 

НИК Givhan

"Това е голяма възможност и аз се чувствам благословена да бъде тя все, но това е нещо, което аз работя в посока от години. Чувствам това е мястото, където се очаква да бъде на този етап от кариерата ми. Аз просто трябва да получите на ринга, за да се уверите, че се справят с моя работа на ринга

 

"Той е определено е един от най-трудните противници съм пред които са изправени. Той е голям, мощен и удари трудно целия борбата. Но аз съм най-трудните той е изправен.

"Това оформя като боксьор срещу перфоратор бой, който ме подкрепя. Той може да излезе удряха в началото, но след като той е докоснал той може да бъде разочарован. Това е, което аз ще се възползва от, си над-агресивност.

 

"Очаквам с нетърпение да се възползва от момента, утре вечер. ''

 

ИВАН Golub

 

"Много съм развълнуван да бъде на тази карта и очаквам с нетърпение да се бори за първото ми ShoBox карта. Това е голяма стъпка нагоре и това ще бъде голяма борба.

 

"Когато имам шанс да се бори за ShoBox, Аз дори не попита кой съм се бореше. Аз спаринг с някои от най-добрите там (Ievgen Khytrov,Сергей Derevanchenko, и т.н.). Но аз съм повече от един боксьор-перфоратор, отколкото някои от съотборниците ми.

"Аз работя много усилено. Уча боксира много. Знам, че времето ми е смешен. Докато аз се покаже добри умения по бокс, нокаут ще дойде. "

 

Marlon Aquas

 

"Вие трябва да бъдете внимателни с гладен фигhters Iф не знам нищо за, но аз ще дам 100 процента там. Аз съм тук, за да покажа, че имате какво е необходимо, за да стане световен шампион.

"Аз съм бил изключен поради нараняване на лявата си ръка, но това е напълно излекуван и аз съм готов. Аз съм имал много спаринг.

 

"Аз съм повече от стилист, боксьорът. Харесва ми да се придвижват много. Но ако трябва да отида при него и сбиване аз ще. Аз наистина искам да покажа на феновете, че съм достоен за гледане отново. ''

DeLoach is a good fighter I’ve seen him fight a few times he’s fast and a busy fighter but I’m pretty fast myself. I expect to match his speed, if not beat it.”

“I’m a smart fighter and can adapt well (плюс) hometown crowd is definitely a benefit. I knew we’d step (up the competition in the near future) and this is a great time for it. Имах 16 professional fights and am ready to show the world that I’m capable of going to the next level.”

“I’m proud to see him get a shot on a national stage. He’s a key part of the “Four State Franchise” and is a big crowd draw. He’s worked very hard and I expect him to put forth a tremendous performance. I’d like to personally thank Showtime as well for this incredible opportunity.”

Promising Russian cruiserweight Алексей Зубов (10-0, 6 Нокаута) measures against Константин Беженару (10-0, 4 Нокаута, WSB: 0-1-1) of Mandilesti, Молдова, in one of the eight-round bouts.

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, by calling 877.833.SHOW, или онлайн на Ticketmaster.com. Билетите са на цена от $60 за ринга места, $35 и $25.

The fast-rising Potapov, of Potolsk, Русия, се класира 10тата в IBF. 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 последно Октомври. 29 в Бруклин.

 

An outstanding amateur with international success, Potapov had around 200 fights before he turned pro in March 2010. Отишъл 13-0 as a pro in Russia. In his outing before last – and last in his homelandhe produced perhaps a career-best performance while winning a unanimous 12-round decision over then-IBF No. 10-класирана Jasoin Canoy, Ноември. 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 Royпоследно Август. 8 and by far his toughest task, Young boxed unbeaten Antonio Ниевес 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 Април 15. “This is a great opportunity for me, going up against another undefeated fighter in front of the world onShoBox,’’ Young said. “You can’t pass up an opportunity like that. Обучение върви чудесно. I’m training with some of the top notch fighters in the world like Juan Carlos Паяно, Клаудио Marrero и Йенифел Висенте.

“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.’’

Бернардо, a 29-year-old with a million-dollar smile – and a punch to matchhas registered knockouts in nine of his last 10 битки. 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 последно Февруари. 6 в Детройт, мен.

 

Born and raised in Santo Domingo, Доминиканската република, Bernardo had an extensive amateur career (128 битки) 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 Франк Тейт. “I’m excited about this fight onShoBox because it’s a good opportunity for America to get to know me. Обучение върви много добре. Every day I am learning. My diet is terrific. My whole team is with me, pushing me to get better.’’

Менар, 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 в 21 месеца. In his most recent effort, той спря Jesus Lule-Raya in the first round on Aug. 8, 2015.

 

While inactivity could pose a problem, Menard is primed for Bernardo. Nobody, казва той, 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. НаАприл 15, Bernardo stands between me and my dreams. It’s all or nothing. It’s rise or lay down. Април 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.

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. Фактически, 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 дебют. I learn every day in the gym and look forward to putting my knowledge to use Април 15 на ShoBox. I want to follow in the footsteps of all the great Kronk fighters.’’

I am training very hard every day in New York City and look forward to putting on a show Април 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,'', Каза той. “I had over 150 любителски битки. 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.’’

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.’’

PAUL WILLIAMS RETURNS TO BOXING AS A TRAINER

FORMER WORLD CHAMPION TO TRAIN PROSPECT JUSTIN DELOACH

IN FOURTH FIGHT ADDED TO Петък, МАРТ 25,

SHOBOX: НОВО ПОКОЛЕНИЕ телевизионно предаване

“I’m scared all over again, like this is my first fight.” – Paul Williams

 

Super Welterweight DeLoach Takes on Undefeated Local Favorite Dillon Cook;

Promising Meets Aaron Herrera in Main Event;

Живей SHOWTIME® При 10:30 p.m. И/PT

NEW YORK (Март 15, 2016) – Former two-time world champion Пол Уилямс, who’s pro career came to a sudden and tragic end when he was paralyzed from the waist down after a motorcycle accident in May 2012, is back in boxing as a trainer.

 

The popular Williams will work the corner of once-beaten Джъстин DeLoach (13-1, 7 Нокаута) when DeLoach faces undefeated super welterweight and local favorite Dillon Cook (16-0, 6 Нокаута) in the opening eight-round bout of what is now a ShoBox: Новото поколение quadrupleheader на Петък, Март 25, на живо поSHOWTIME (10:30 p.m. И/PT, забавено на Западния бряг) от Buffalo Run Казино в Маями, Оклахома.

 

DeLoach is the first boxer to be trained by Williams, the former 154-pound southpaw who has been confined to a wheelchair since the accident.

“I guess I was being selfish at first,” Williams said. “I didn’t want to deal with the fight game. I wanted to be the one fighting. But that changed.”

 

Williams was reluctant to train fighters for a long time. БешеGeorge Peterson, who managed and trained Williams from the time the boxer was a skinny kid with little amateur experience until his career ended, that helped persuade “The Punisher” to return to the ring. Williams trains his pupil at a private gym in his hometown of Aiken, S.C.

 

“You know me, I really didn’t want to do this,’’ Williams said. “But finally after three or four years of George practically begging me to try and do it, this opportunity came along and I decided to give it a shot.

 

“Everything is about timing. I started thinking about it, George kept asking me and messing with me about it, one thing led to another, and I finally said I’d take a stab at it.
Williams, who is enjoying his new job description, admits there are some pre-fight jitters.

 

“I’m scared all over again, like this is my first fight. Сега, I have to think about everything that Mr. Pete was thinking about when I was fighting. I have to try and teach Justin what I knew how to do.

 

“George and I accomplished a lot. He made me a world champion; преди това, no one knew who he or I was. We were just a couple of guys from Aiken, S.C. We gave fans fights to remember.

 

“I was the fighter the press labeled as ‘Most feared in boxing.’ But that’s over for me now. I’m jumping into a whole new thing. It’s been an adjustment but I’m glad I’m doing it.’’

 

In his role as a trainer, Williams’ mindset has changed drastically from his fighting days. “Look, I always feel good,'', Каза той. “What’s happened has happened. Каквото, такова. This is my first time stepping back into the world. Обичам бокса.

 

“What I don’t want to see is a fighter getting hurt. This is a hard sport. I know when I was in there I was always going for broke. But I want Justin, all fighters actually, to come out of the ring the same way they came in. Печелят или губят, I don’t want to see anybody get hurt.’’

 

On DeLoach, Уилямс каза, “He’s a good fighter and now he’s in the spotlight. I want to do my best in the training world to get him at his peak. I hope he does his best. I’d love to one-up George with Justin.’’

 

Becoming the best takes strenuous work on a daily basis, and Williams was no stranger to putting in the hours.

 

“I never took a shortcut,'', Каза той. “You take shortcuts, you know what’ll happen. I took the long road home when I was fighting and fans, бойци, everybody knew what to expect when I stepped in the ring.

 

“Justin isn’t like this, but one thing I know is that fighters think they’re slick. Добре, you can’t pull anything over me. Бил съм там, seen it all.’’

 

И, както винаги, he’ll have George Peterson by his side.

 

“I’m just helping Paul,’’ said Peterson, who will serve as Williams’ assistant trainer. “So far, he’s doing great.”

 

It will be the ShoBox и 2016 дебюти — and toughest fight to datefor both DeLoach and Cook.

 

DeLoach was a top amateur, competing in the USA Boxing National Championships in 2012. He won a National Silver Golden Gloves title when he was 13.

 

The 22-year-old DeLoach, of Augusta, Ga., has won three in a row since suffering his lone loss to Cesar Villa на февруари. 6, 2015. That was before he started training with Williams.

 

“This has been a total blessing, and I say that every day,” DeLoach said. “Thank God. He’s the one who brought the two of us together, това е най-важното. Paul loves it, just to be back. I think he was scared at first, his reputation was at stake and so was mine.

 

“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, "Хей, Paul, wouldn’t it be cool if we got together?"

 

“Once I came home, we started working together and he’s been training me since. I think we’re going on about three months now. It’s an unbelievable feeling to be able to work with one of my favorite fighters.”

 

В последния си излет, DeLoach won a shutout four-round decision overSantos Benavides последно Декември. 12. DeLoach, a pro since March 2013, fought six times that year and four times each in 2014 и 2015.

 

“I’m really looking forward to fighting for the first time for him,” DeLoach said. “I’ve gone crazy waiting for my break and an opportunity like this to fight on SHOWTIME. I know it’s not easy fighting in your opponent’s backyard, but with Paul, George Peterson and me and my skills, we are confident it will be a good fight.’’

 

Готвач, 25, is from Seneca, Мо, which is located about 20 minutes from Buffalo Run Casino where he has fought six times. A top amateur, he won six Golden Gloves titles, a Junior Golden Gloves National title, a Heartland title and four regional Silver Gloves titles. He is popular at Buffalo Run and will be making his premium network television debut against easily his most dangerous assignment as a pro. Cook’s brother, Jesse, a welterweight with a record of 15-1-1, will box on the non-televised portion of the event.

 

Dillon Cook turned pro in August 2012, fought twice that year, seven times in 2013, four times in 2014 and three times last year. Five of his last seven took place at Buffalo Run, including two out of three in 2015. He’s coming off a lopsided eight-round decision overRahman Yusubov последно Ноември. 14.

 

“I couldn’t be more excited about making my ShoBox дебют, right at home, at the Buffalo Run Casino,” Cook said. “This is a huge opportunity for me, and I plan on putting on a spectacular showing, for all my fans there that night and everyone watching on TV.”

 

В ShoBox Main Event, unbeaten super lightweight knockout artist and emerging rising star, Regis "Rougarou" ПРОГРАМИ (16-0, 13 Нокаута), Houston by way of New Orleans, will meet experienced Аарон "Бижуто" Herrera (29-4-1, 18 Нокаута), of Valladolid, Мексико, в 10-кръг мач.

5-крак-9, 27-year-old Prograis, originally from New Orleans, The., 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.

 

В своята ShoBox debut on Aug, 17, 2015, he registered an impressive,eight-round decision over previously undefeated Amos Cowart.ПРОГРАМИ, 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 последно Декември. 11 на 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,"Каза Prograis, който е бил 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, SHOWTIME, for the opportunity to display my skills and talent.”

 

Относно му псевдоним, Prograis said, “My manager and my dad were just trying to come up with nicknames. В основата си, everybody was just shooting out names and they shot out that one – ‘Rougarou’. Първо, I didn’t like it, but it stuck with me. A rougarou is like a Louisiana-type swamp monster or werewolf.”

 

Herrera, 27, of Valladolid, Мексико, Носител е на 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. почва. In his stateside debut, Herrera dropped a 10-round decision to undefeated prospect Pedro Campa последно Декември. 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. This will be the 17тата 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. Той е добър боец, 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, нокаут в първия рунд над Шади Shehadeh в най-новата си старт миналата Декември. 11 на 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. 5-крак-7, 23-year-old has won all eight of his U.S. излети, 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.’’

 

Неговият опонент, Givhan, turned pro in August 2012, спечели първия си 15 scraps, boxed a four-round split draw with Freddy Durand за август. 22, 2015, and is coming from a majority decision over Juan Santiago последноНоември. 13.

5-крак-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 Неделя."

 

“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, той отиде 5-0 in the WSOB. He’s gone 10-0 тъй като, 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 Хуан Родригес in his most recent effort last Jan. 16 в 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 onМарт 25 when I hand Marlon Aguas his first defeat.”

 

Aguas is making his U.S. и 2016 debut after fighting seven times in Quito, Ecuador and twice in Mexico. A pro since March 2013, he won his initial eight starts and is coming off a first-round knockout over Edwin Gamboa последно Ноември. 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.”

BETHLEHEM, PA. (Март 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 Събота on SHOWTIME from Sands Bethlehem Events Center in Bethlehem, Татко. 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 Нокаута) при 2:24 of the seventh. Williams (23-0-1, 14 Нокаута) 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. ВИДЕО АКТУАЛНО: HTTP://s.sho.com/1QzbBBb
Williams landed 59 процента на Неговата сила снимки, including a staggering 76 percent in the deciding seventh.
Maybe people will think they saw a chink in the armor tonight,” Уилямс каза. “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. Искам да бъда велик. All of you turkeys at 154 паунда, let’s fight.
След борбата, 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 10тата-кръг TKO. ВИДЕО АКТУАЛНО:HTTP://s.sho.com/21er63g
The 35-year-oldmini-Mike Tysonplowed forward from the opening bell until the TKO at 0:33 на 10тата. 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 Нокаута) hurt Douglas (19-1-1, 13 Нокаута) with a big left in the opening seconds of the third round, sending the 23-year-old face forward through the ropes. Somehow, Douglas recovered from the first knockdown of his career and fought himself back into the fight. The Washington, Постоянен ток, 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 общо удари. Khurtsidze, who showed unbelievable stamina to push the pressure throughout, started the 10тата with a relentless attack, forcing referee Benjy Esteves to stop the fight at 0:33 of the with Douglas defenseless against the ropes.
I knew he was going to get tired,” said Khurtsidze, who took the fight on less than three weeks notice. “I felt like I was going to catch him. Той е добър боец, 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. Обичам биете. Ще се боря никого.”
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 Стив 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. Naturally, I’m crushed. It’s back to the drawing board.
При откриването схватката на телевизията, средната категория Тони Harrison looked impressive in a sixth round TKO over former world title challenger Фернандо Гереро.
Harrison (23-1, 19 Нокаута) was the aggressor from the outset, jabbing at range to set up his favorite weapona 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.
Войн (28-4, 20 Нокаута) 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,” Саид Harrison, който кацна 57 процента на Неговата сила снимки. “Доминирах в битката. 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, точно както аз съм. 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 в събота нощ.”
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 Събота 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. Това е бокса – 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 blindI’ve faced opponents who come forward. We’ll be ready for him and ready to make the adjustments in the ring.
“Победа в събота 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 Събота нощ.
Everything in training went well. We’ve trained really hard and we’re ready for Събота нощ.
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 на сто. 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.
This isn’t a game. 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. Идвам да направи изявление в събота.”
