Παρακάτω είναι αυτό που οι μαχητές είχαν να πουν:

Claressa Shields:

“I made history in the amateurs, so it’s very special to me to be making history in the pros too and also doing it so close to home in Detroit.

“For this fight, I did more road work and also worked hard on my fundamentals. With my coach, Jason Crutchfield, in my corner he knows my weaknesses and strong points, so we are strengthening all weaknesses.

“I know that Szabados has a lot of body endurance and a ‘no quit’ mindset in the ring. She has a lot more professional experience than me and is a huge step up for me, as it is only my second professional fight.

“When I was an amateur, I followed women’s professional boxing the best I could. I thought a lot of women weren’t given equal opportunity. I told myself that for women’s boxing to grow, I’d have to go pro after winning the Olympics again. I felt in my heart that I would be respected and given a chance. I take advantage of every opportunity, so as of now, I feel women’s boxing is a sport that is going to be around for a long time.”

Νικολάι Potapov:

“Nieves is good fighter, and he’s ranked in the top 10. I want to fight the best available in my division. A win over Nieves would be huge for my career and would hopefully lead to a shot at a title in the near future. I can’t lose on Μάρτιος 10.

“I trained hard to go the distance of 10 γύρους, but Kronk’s philosophy is not to leave it in the hands of the judges.

“I am thankful to Showtime and Salita Promotions for giving me another opportunity to fight on such a prestigious network. I am focused on bringing home the victory after spending time in Detroit training at the legendary Kronk Gym. "

Top-10 Ranked Undefeated Bantamweights Antonio Nieves & Nikolay Potapov Clash In Co-Feature To Claressa Shields vs. Szilvia Szabados On ShoBox: Η νέα γενιά
Περισσότερο, Undefeated Welterweight Wesley Tucker Faces Once-Beaten Ed Williams; Unbeaten Detroit Bantamweight James Gordon Smith Takes on Joshua Greer, Jr.
DETROIT (Φεβρουάριος. 15, 2017) – Six prospects will round out the ShoBox: Η νέα γενιά televised bouts for Salita Promotions’ “Detroit City Gold” επί Παρασκευή, Μάρτιος 10, στο MGM Grand Detroit, ζουν σε SHOWTIME (10 μ.μ. ΚΑΙ/PT).
In addition to the history-making six-round main event featuring two-time Olympic Gold Medalist Claressa Shields (1-0) of Flint, Μιχ., taking on Hungary’s Szilvia “Sunset” Szabados (15-8, 6 KOs) for the Women’s NABF Middleweight Championship, there will be a trio of exciting bouts between rising prospects with a combined record of 80-2-5 με 39 KOs.
“Detroit City Gold” will mark the first time in history a women’s boxing match has headlined on premium television. Shields and Szabados will also be the first women’s fight on ShoBox, a series that has sparked the careers of 67 future world champions.
Antonio Nieves vs. Νικολάι Potapov – 10-Στρογγυλή περίοδος Bantamweight
The co-main event will feature a 10-round battle between top-10 ranked bantamweight contenders Antonio Nieves (17-0-2, 9 KOs) και Νικολάι Potapov (16-0-1, 8 KOs). Nieves is ranked No. 4 στην WBO, while Potapov is ranked No. 9 από το WBO, Μη. 10 by WBA and No. 13 από την IBF.
Nieves, a top amateur, was a five-time Cleveland Metro Golden Gloves Champion. Σε 2011, he was the National Golden Gloves runner-up and U.S. Nationals Bronze Medalist at 123 λίρες.
Ένας επαγγελματίας από το Νοέμβριο 2011, he won the initial 12 fights of his career before boxing to an eight-round draw with Stephon Νέοι τον Ιούνιο 20, 2015. The NABO bantamweight champion, he has gone 6-0-1 since and is coming off a second-round TKO over Szilvester Ajtai τελευταίος Νοέμβριος. 26. Τον Αύγουστο 2016, he fought to a 10-round split draw against Mexico’s Alejandro Santiago επί ShoBox.
Because they are both residents of Ohio, Nieves has long clamored for a showdown with former WBA Champion and fellow 118-lb contender Rau’shee Warren. A victory over Potapov may put him in the right position to have his wish granted later this year.
“I feel great about this opportunity and I’m going to take advantage of it,” said Nieves. “Είναι ένας καλός μαχητής. He comes forward and throws a lot of punches. He’s got a solid foundation. I believe it’ll be a good fight but, συνολική, I’ll be able to outbox him. I can make him make mistakes and take advantage of it. Θα είμαι 100 percent ready to show everybody the real Antonio Nieves. I’ll use my legs more and throw a lot of combinations. I will box my way to my big shot.”
The 26-year-old Potapov was an outstanding amateur with international success. The 5-foot-4 native of Russia had around 200 fights before he turned pro in March 2010. Πήγε 13-0 as a pro in Russia before his U.S. ντεμπούτο.
Potapov had a 14-fight winning streak ended when he boxed still-undefeated prospect Stephon Νέοι (13-0 πηγαίνει σε) to a 10-round majority draw on April 15, 2016, επί ShoBox. Potapov, who felt he had done more than enough to earn a victory, entered the ring ranked 10ου στην IBF, rare for a fighter at that point in his career.
Since the disappointing result against Young, Potapov has fought twice, leaving nothing in the hands of the judges by winning both by early round knockout. He’s coming off a fourth-round TKO over Alexander Saltykov last Δεκέμβριος. 15.
“I have been training in Russia and am excited to be in Detroit (since Feb. 1) training at the Kronk Gym with world-class trainer Javan SugarHill Steward,” Potapov said. “Antonio Nieves is a very talented fighter and I look forward to a great exciting fight of skill and will on Μάρτιος 10.”
Wesley Tucker vs. Ed Williams – Eight Round Welterweight Bout
Επίσης, σχετικά με ShoBox: Η νέα γενιά will be an eight-round welterweight battle between local prospects with much to prove, Wesley Tucker (13-0, 8 KOs) και Ed Williams (12-1-1, 4 KOs).
The 29-year-old Tucker, Τολέδο, Οχάιο, was a standout amateur. Ήταν ο 2012 National Golden Gloves runner-up at 152 pounds and had over 250 ερασιτέχνες αγώνες. Ως επαγγελματίας, he’s stayed relatively active since his debut in February 2013, but the 5-foot-8 southpaw has been virtually untested. Tucker will be looking to score his first significant professional victory against Williams.
“Νιώθω καλά. Excited about the opportunity,” είπε ο Τούκερ. “He’s a tough fighter from Detroit. But I’m better. I’ve seen every kind of style there is. You can expect fireworks that night. Είμαι 100 percent ready.”
Detroit’s Ed Williams is coming off a unanimous decision victory over then 6-1 Christon Edwards, last July at the MGM in Las Vegas. The 27-year-old suffered his lone career loss in November 2015 via unanimous decision to Marcus Beckford in Beckford’s home state of Louisiana. Ως ερασιτέχνης, Williams was a two-time Michigan State Champion and a two-time Detroit Golden Gloves Champion.
“I feel like this is a great opportunity to fight at home and on TV,” είπε ο Γουίλιαμς. “It’s the first fight at the MGM, first women’s bout to headline. There’s a lot of firsts going on that night and it’s a big stage, but I’m not afraid of anything. I don’t know much about Tucker other than he’s from Oho and he’s shorter than me. I’m just going to prepare for everything. One thing about me — I’m a gladiator. If he doesn’t show up to go to war, I will get him out of there. Κατάρτιση πρόκειται μεγάλη. I’m in Houston for this camp. I’m working on a lot of things and getting sharper and staying busy.”
James Gordon Smith vs. Joshua Greer, Jr. – Eight Round Bantamweight Bout
Opening the telecast will be an eight-round bantamweight “Detroit vs. Σικάγο” αναμέτρηση μεταξύ James Smith (11-0, 6 KOs) και Joshua Greer, Jr. (11-1-1, 4 KOs).
The 26-year-old Smith was a standout amateur, μετάβαση 110-9 en route to a bronze medal at the National Golden Gloves. He holds an amateur win over current top-10 bantamweight Antonio Nieves.
Μεταλλουργός, a 5-foot-4, is making his ninth start in Michigan, his seventh in Detroit and first at MGM Grand. A six-year pro, Smith has been victorious in three consecutive matches since a no-contest on Feb. 6, 2016. Έρχεται από ένα δεύτερο γύρο TKO πέρα Szilveszter Ajtai last Jan. 22 in his fourth consecutive scrap at Masonic Temple in Detroit.
“This is a great opportunity to better my career and keep moving it into the right place,” είπε ο Smith. “A victory would get me ranked and keep me moving up the ladder. Plus the world will get to see me for the first time. I want to put on a good show, no matter how it goes. I just want it to be a competitive and exciting fight.”
Greer, a 22-year-old Chicago native, was a Chicago Golden Gloves Champion. He will be coming down in weight to face Smith, having normally campaigned around 120 λίρες. He was last seen stopping Cristian Renteria in the fifth round in October of last year. Before that he took the undefeated record of the Dominican Republic’s Juan Gabriel Medina (τότε 10-0, 9 KOs) via unanimous six-round decision.
Greer suffered the lone loss of his career in the fifth fight of his career, a majority four-round decision against fellow unbeaten Stephen Fulton το Δεκέμβριο 2015.
“I feel really good about this. I’m ready and can’t wait for it to happen,” said Greer. “I don’t know much about James Smith, but I know we fought the same opponent, Antwan Robertson, and he got dropped by him. And I stopped him within 24 δευτερόλεπτα του πρώτου γύρου. Κατάρτιση πρόκειται μεγάλη. I have the best sparring you can ask for, guys like Adrian Granados, Eddie Ραμίρεζ, Hank Lundy. I will be well prepared for this fight. If it was αύριο, I’d be ready.”
Κοστολογείται στα $250, $150, $100 και $50, εισιτήρια για “Detroit City Gold” είναι διαθέσιμα στο Ticketmaster.com, all Ticketmaster locations or by phone at 800.745.3000.

SHOWTIME

® To Present Premium Television’s First Women’s Boxing Main Event As Shields Takes on Former World Title Challenger Szilvia Szabados
Ζουν σε Showtime® From MGM Grand Detroit
ΝΕΑ ΥΟΡΚΗ (Φεβρουάριος. 7, 2017) – Two-time Olympic Gold Medalist Claressa Shields will make her professional television debut on ShoBox: Η νέα γενιά, a series that has sparked the careers of 67 future world champions, επί Παρασκευή, Μάρτιος 10, ζουν σε SHOWTIME (10 μ.μ. ΚΑΙ/PT) από MGM Grand Detroit Event Center στο Ντιτρόιτ, Μίσιγκαν.
Ασπίδες (1-0) is facing Hungary’s Szilvia “Sunset” Szabados (15-8, 6 KOs), πρώην αμφισβητίας παγκόσμιου τίτλου, in the first women’s boxing match to headline on premium television. The fight will take place down the road from Shield’s hometown of Flint, μου.
Shields is the most accomplished amateur boxer in U.S. ιστορία – αρσενικό ή θηλυκό – and the only American boxer to capture back-to-back gold medals at the Olympic Games.
“It is a dream come true to be the first woman to headline a boxing card on premium television,” δήλωσε ο Shields. “Μάρτιος 10 will be a historic night for boxing and all of the women who give so much to advance our sport. I am proud to be fighting for the NABF title in my second pro bout. I want to thank SHOWTIME, MGM Grand Detroit and Salita Promotions for this opportunity, and I will do everything to give my home state fans and the viewers a night to remember.”
Szabados said, “Fighters always say their next fight is the most important one of their career, but you get an opportunity like this, and it really is. This is an unbelievable dream. I am very happy to be receiving this opportunity. I know this fight is important for Claressa also, and I don’t really know what will happen in the ring. Και οι δύο θέλουν να κερδίσουν. Claressa has more amateur experience, but I have more experience as a professional. It’s going to be an exciting night.”
Tickets for the event promoted by Salita Προσφορές go on sale Παρασκευή, Φεβρουάριος. 10 στο 10 π.μ.. est και στην τιμή $250, $150, $100 και $50. They will be available at www.ticketmaster.com.
Promoter Dmitriy Salita said, “I am honored to be putting on this event at the fantastic MGM Grand Detroit, featuring American hero Claressa Shields on ShoBox: Η νέα γενιά. Detroit is America’s greatest comeback city and I am thrilled that she has chosen MGM Grand Detroit as the site to fight for her first professional title on Μάρτιος 10. Although it is just her second professional fight, Claressa has chosen a former world title challenger for her opponent, a tough Hungarian named Szilvia Szabados, a woman who knows what’s at stake if she can win that night. We’ve got a terrific card from top to bottom in support of this fantastic main event as well, featuring some of Detroit’s brightest up-and-coming prospects, as well as some national and international flavor. Detroit deserves to have world-class events such as this and I’m very proud to be able to bring it here.”
Shields won her first Olympic Gold when she was 17 years old in the inaugural women’s boxing competition at the London Games in 2012. She defended her title at the 2016 Olympics in Rio, becoming the only American boxer to defend amateur sports’ premier championship.
The 21-year-old Shields cruised to a 77-1 amateur record before turning professional last November, winning her first bout via unanimous decision on a non-televised undercard in Las Vegas. She now returns home as a headliner to take on the veteran Szabados in a six-round middleweight bout.
ShoBox ειδικός αναλυτής Steve Farhood: “Women’s boxing in America has its best chance of revival because of the emergence of Claressa Shields. Women’s boxing is pretty big in certain countries, but it really hasn’t been a factor in the United States since Laila Ali και, before her, Christy Martin. Being the only U.S. boxer to win two gold medals, Claressa has instant credibility and star appeal and those two things are going to lead to wide exposure.
“She has a great back story, she’s an exciting fighter to watch and she’s instantly likeable.”
Με απλά λόγια, Shields found solace in boxing to overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges in her childhood. She’s become a vocal advocate for many social causes, including the ongoing water crisis in her hometown of Flint, women’s rights, and campaigning against sexual assault. An inspirational figure and motivational speaker, Shields represents a beacon of hope for a working-class city that struggles with violence, poverty, and everyday essentials.
In taking on a former world title challenger and fighting for the NABF middleweight championship in only her second fight, Shields continues to make immediate strides as a professional like fellow Flint native Floyd Mayweather, who won his first world title when he was 21.

When the two fighters met in the middle of the ring, punches were exchanged and Selina landed a left hook to the chin of Franks, sending her to the canvas. After the ref gave Franks an eight count, Barrios stormed on and ended the fight with a devastating left hook-straight right combination.
Franks, who went the distance with Mia St. Γιάννης δυο φορές, was knocked out for the first time in eight years

. Satisfied with her triumph, Barrios is ready to get back in the ring and keep the momentum going.

“I wanted to come out here tonight and give the fans a great show.” είπε η Selina Barrios. “After I landed that left hook, I knew she was hurt. My only thought was to go for the kill and end the fight. This was my first fight as a professional and I’m happy with the result.”
“I want to thank all my family and friends who came out to support me tonight,” Μπάριος συνέχισε. “I also want to thank Carlos Famoso Productions for giving me the opportunity to fight in my hometown of San Antonio. My goal is to get back in the ring as soon as possible and make my run toward a world title.”
Γειτονιές’ προπονητής, πρώην παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής, Κάρλος “Famoso” Hernandez, who also served as promoter for the event, was thrilled with Selina’s performance. He sees a bright future for Barrios.

Την Πέμπτη, the sisters gave the media a treat and sparred each other ahead of the Ιανουάριος 14συμβάν.
Here is what Amanda and Cindy had to say at the media workout την Πέμπτη:
AMANDA SERRANO
“I’m excited and blessed to be fighting on SHOWTIME EXTREME. It’s a real honor to be in this position. I’m not going to disappoint come Σάββατο νύχτα.
“It’s going to be historic. This is a vintage Puerto Rican vs. Mexican rivalry. Neither one of us wants to give an inch or give a step back. It’s in my home and I can’t wait.
“I’ll be ready to go the distance. I’m always ready for it. We’re trained to go the distance every time; it just usually doesn’t come down to that. There’s never a day that we go into the gym and don’t prepare to go the distance.
“The first time I fought at Barclays Center I met Stephen Espinoza and he said my highlights might make the telecast. I told him that I was going to make sure that the whole fight is highlights. Τώρα είμαστε εδώ.
“It could be any other female in this position. I’m just glad that it’s happening. We fight in and out of the ring to get into this position. I’m not taking it for granted.
“Of course I feel the pressure of the moment, but I do all my hard work in the gym. I know that once I go in the ring, I just have to fight with all I have.
“Women have been here in boxing for a long time. Everyone has been fighting for this. This extra exposure is great for the sport. We want to make it as popular as the female fighting is in MMA. We’re getting punched in the faced too. I think our time is coming. The pressure is on me to showcase my sport on Ιανουάριος 14.
“I’m hoping that with this fight, the ride doesn’t end here. I hope the exposure keeps growing and growing. I’m not going to give up on it. One day I hope to headline on a SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING card.”
CINDY SERRANO, WBO Featherweight World Champion
“That was a good sparring session. It’s always tough to get in there with her. She’s slick and powerful and we just tried to give the reporters a good show. We wanted to tease you and show a little bit of why women are worthy of being showcased on television. The real one comes Ιανουάριος 14.
“I don’t know too much about Rivas but she’s definitely a tough fighter who has accomplished a lot. She’s a Mexican fighter so the Puerto Rican-Mexican rivalry will be on display. Hopefully she can last a few rounds and let Amanda show how talented of a fighter she is. Είναι πρόκειται να είναι μια μεγάλη μάχη.
“I’m on cloud-nine right now after winning my world title and I can’t wait to get back in the next couple of months and defend my belt.”
