ROCHESTER – February 2, 2019 – DeAndre Ware rose to the occasion and scored the biggest win of his career with an upset majority decision over previously undefeated Ronald Ellis in the main event of 的ShoBox: 新一代 Friday on SHOWTIME from Main Street Armory in Rochester. Both fights of the doubleheader were upsets, as Albany, 紐約州. native Will Madera defeated Thomas Mattice in an eight-round lightweight co-feature.
埃利斯 (15-1-2, 10 科斯), who had the advantage over Ware in both height and reach, 成為 185日 fighter to lose their undefeated record on the prospect developmental series after Mattice suffered his first defeat and became fighter number 184.
產品 (13-1-2, 8 科斯), who edged Ellis 95-95 和 96-94 兩次, pressed the action from the outset. While Ellis threw a higher volume of punches throughout the night, Ware was more effective with the punches he landed and worked Ellis inside as the fight progressed.
“I controlled the fight. The whole fight I was landing the harder shots,” said Ware. “I finally had a chance to get in shape and have a full camp, and we were able to show what we really have. I applied the pressure. He was just flicking the jab and it wasn’t doing anything.”
埃利斯, who fought his past three fights with his right hand either broken or badly injured, largely stopped using his right hand during the fourth round, indicating he might have re-injured the surgically repaired hand. By the later rounds, he was mainly jabbing with his left and delivering punches in volume that lacked power.
“I couldn’t tell if he hurt his hand,” Ware continued. “I just listed to my coaches and did what I had to do.”
埃利斯, who was fighting on 的ShoBox for the fourth time, didn’t agree with the officials’ decision and was eager for a rematch
“I think I outboxed him,” Ellis said. “He was pressuring the whole fight but he didn’t land anything clean. I hurt my hand a little in the third but I was still able to triple jab him and keep him on the outside. I would do a rematch in a second.”
在轉播的開幕回合, Will Madera handed 的ShoBox veteran Thomas Mattice the first loss of his career via a unanimous decision in a battle of unbeaten lightweights.
Madera (13-0-2, 6 科斯), who took the fight on short notice in his national television debut, dominated the pace from the outset. He stayed busy and controlled the first three rounds, coming forward and working the body against a stagnant Mattice (13-1-1, 10 科斯). While Mattice tried to establish his jab, Madera’s movement and insistence on pressing inside made it impossible.
“I had to make some adjustments. 他很好, 艱難的戰鬥機, but it’s all about staying composed,” Madera said. “I wasn’t fazed by any of his punches. He had a little pop, but nothing that I was afraid of.”
In a fight that started out reminiscent of his 2017 的ShoBox 登場, Mattice came to life in the later rounds, relying on his jab and increasing his overall volume of work. But his increase in output still lagged behind Madera, who had landed 21 body shots midway through the fight compared to just three landed by Mattice.
“He had a good jab that I just had to time,” Madera said. “With the win, I’m ready to step-up. Whatever they have for me, I’ll take it next.”
Mattice’s best work came in the sixth round, when he relied on a higher volume of combos and a steady jab. Both men traded punches throughout the final round, and Madera closed out the fight with a five-punch combo that had Mattice on the ropes.
“I still feel like I’m the better fighter, I just didn’t get started. I didn’t do what we came here to do, which was box and use my speed,“Mattice說. “I’m kind of glad this one didn’t go my way so we can learn from this and go back to the drawing board.”
The event was promoted by GH3 Promotions in association with Greg Cohen Promotions. 完整的電視節目將重播週一, 二月 4 在 10 P.M. ET / PT在Showtime極端，將可在SHOWTIME ANYTIME® 和SHOWTIME ON DEMAND®.
