Fighting in UFC dream come true for M-1 Challenge middleweight champion Artem Frolov

 

Επτά. 15 at UFC Moscow vs. C.B. Dollaway

 

 

 

ΑΓΙΑ ΠΕΤΡΟΥΠΟΛΗ, Ρωσία (Σεπτέμβριος 5, 2018) – Fighting in the UFC is a dream come true for undefeated M-1 Challenge middleweight champion Artem Φρόλοφ (11-0-0, Μ-1: 8-0-0), who will make his UFC debut September 15, fighting on the UFC Moscow card at Olympic Stadium in Moscow.

 

 

 

Frolov recently agreed on short notice (2 weeks) to replace injured Omari Ashkedov against veteran American fighter C.B. “The DobermanDollaway (17-8-0).

 

 

 

Fighting at home in Russia, the 26-year-old Frolov won his M-1 Challenge title belt last October, when he took a unanimous decision from Caio Magalhaes στο M-1 Πρόκληση 84. This past June at Μ-1 Πρόκληση 93, Frolov made his first and lone title defense to date against Joe Riggs, who suffered a knee injury that led to a doctor’s stoppage in the second round.

 

 

 

Εχθές, Frolov sat down for a one-on-one interview:

 

How long have you working on a deal to sign with UFC?

 

 

 

AF: “My manager has been working on signing me with the UFC for a while, but until the last few days, we had no solid agreement. A few days ago, they finally offered me a contract and asked to step in to replace an injured fighter at UFC Moscow.

 

 

 

I thought it over and decided it was a great opportunity to join the UFC, which I did not want to miss. I would not say this contract was a surprise for me, people have been working on it, so I was ready.

 

How does it feel to sign with UFC?

 

 

 

AF: “I’m excited to sign with the best promotion in the world, but I know that my debut fight won’t be easy, I’m stepping in on a short notice just two weeks before the show. I was going to defend my belt in M-1 Global in a couple months, so now I need to cut weight fast. The most difficult thing is not just to cut weight, but afterwards to recover well. In the UFC, IVs are banned and you have to be extremely careful with supplements you take to recover.

What shape are you in for this fight considering only two-week’s notice?

 

 

 

AF: “I was preparing for a fight in M-1 Global, so I’m in good shape. We are going to work on my speed now but first, I have to cut weight. Once in my career I took a fight on a short notice, I had three weeks to prepare and I won that fight by TKO in the second round.

 

Τι γνωρίζετε για τον αντίπαλό σας, C.B. Dollaway?

 

 

 

AF: “I’ve seen a couple of C.B. Dollaway’s UFC fights, but I have never considered him as my opponent, so did not pay too much attention to him. There are many good fighters in the UFC, so I can’t say that I know a lot about my opponent. We don’t have not enough time to concentrate on him, so we’ll concentrate on me.

 

When do you feel you can challenge the top UFC fighters in your weight class?

 

 

 

AF: “I’m not going to demand huge fights with the top opponents in the UFC. I’ll take my time and be ready to fight any opponent they’ll give me. I need time to get used to new conditions, tune up my preparation, and put in order the whole system and then I will be ready for any challenges.

 

 

 

Everything is in our hands; nothing is impossible. If someone wants something badly, sets a goal and works hard to achieve it, he or she will succeed. I’m just a regular guy who had a dream to fight in the UFC and I made it. Dream big, set goals and achieve them!”

Here is what the participants had to say Tuesday from the Palm Restaurant Downtown Los Angeles:

 

Victor Ortiz, Former Welterweight World Champion

 

 

 

“John Molina Jr. is an amazing warrior just like myself. He’s got a huge heart and he’s not going to back down and neither will I. Είναι πρόκειται να είναι μια μεγάλη μάχη.

 

 

 

John and I have known each other for many years. I’m not one to bad mouth anybody, but especially this guy. We’re in this to go to war on September 30. I fight violently and I can’t change that. I hope at the end of the day it gives people a fun showdown.

 

 

 

I’m happy to be back in this position as the main event and for it to be in Southern California is even better. I’m humbled to have this opportunity.

 

 

 

I still feel strong and powerful and I’m not going to waste this time I have to still compete at the highest level. I’m ready to go out there and put on another war for the fans.

 

 

 

“John Molina Jr. actually told me at the Mayweather vs. McGregor press conference that he was moving up to 147 and I better get out of the way, so it’s funny now that we’re facing-off. We have a lot of mutual respect for each other. It doesn’t change anything though, we’re going to go out there and give it our all.

 

JOHN MOLINA JR., Ο πρώην Παγκόσμιος Τίτλος Challenger

 

 

 

I’m grateful to Victor Ortiz and his team for accepting this challenge. We have nothing but respect for each other. My only prediction is that September 30 is going to be two guys coming to win and two guys refusing to go home with a loss.

 

 

 

I know that Victor is going to be up in my face and that’s exactly my style and how I like to fight. It’s got all the makings of an all-action brawl.

 

 

 

In this business we have to fight people we know very well. This is how we feed our families so we take it extremely seriously. I know we’re both going to be prepared and the best man will win.

 

 

 

Every time I get into the ring it’s a war. My way of boxing has always been to fight the toughest guys and Victor is certainly no slouch. Είναι μια τεράστια μαχητής. He’s explosive and it’s going to make it a great fight.

 

 

 

In a fight like this you’re going to have fireworks. Victor is a big, strong guy who’s coming to win. He wants to get back to the mountain top. But there’s no quit in me. That’s the intrigue for this fight. Can I out will him? We’ll find out on September 30.

 

 

 

Every fight that I’ve had, has been my biggest fight. Everyone knows that I leave everything in the ring. Every fighter says that, but if you’ve ever watched my fights you know it’s the truth. It’s going be the same thing on September 30.

 

JOE JOYCE, Unbeaten Heavyweight Prospect

 

 

 

I have a plan, and a goal to get where I want to be to win a world title. I’ve settled into Big Bear to train and it’s like my second home. I’m looking forward to making my U.S. debut on September 30.

 

 

 

I’m going to show the American fans my style and put on a really good show and a strong performance. Stay tuned and watch my progression here in the U.S., because I’m going to be heavyweight champion of the world.

 

 

 

I’ve looked at Kiladze’s record and he has a good knockout percentage and he has a lot of good experience. He’s a strong guy but I’m just going to have to look a little more closely and work out his strengths and weaknesses and capitalize on that.

 

 

 

I have a lot of really good sparring up in Big Bear for the next couple weeks and it’s going to get me ready for September 30. It’s a different structure and tempo in Big Bear than it was in the UK. It took a bit of time to adjust but now I feel comfortable and I feel like I fit into the group of boxers we have there. I see myself progressing and getting even stronger.

 

Iago KILADZE, Heavyweight fighting out of Los Angeles

 

 

I have a very good and strong opponent but I am in great shape and I’ve had an incredible training camp. I’m ready to go and I know I’m going to come out with the victory.

 

 

 

Los Angeles is my adopted home and I love being able to fight here with those close to me watching. It’s going to give me more motivation to win this fight and help once fight week comes.

 

 

 

I don’t worry too much about what my opponent has accomplished but I am mostly preparing myself to be my best. My team will have a great plan to guide me to this win on September 30.

 

ΚΑΡΛΟΣ Balderas, Unbeaten Super Lightweight Prospect

 

 

 

I’m really focused right now on finishing 2018 strong so I can pick it right back up in 2019. I’m going to continue to take my time and move forward, but I have my eye on a world title. My brother Jose Balderas will also be on the card, so we’re looking to both put on a show for everyone watching.

 

 

 

I’ve been getting better at controlling my emotions in the ring. Me and my brother get mentally prepared in camp so that when we get to the fight, it’s really just another day.

 

 

 

We’re just going to continue working and growing and building up our fan base step-by-step. We might start fighting on different cards down the road, but for now we enjoy fighting on the same night.

 

 

 

I don’t think it will be too long until I start moving my up the cards until eventually I’m the main event. I want to close this year strong so that in 2019 I’m in a position to get even closer to a title shot.

 

Richard Schaefer, Πρόεδρος & Διευθύνων Σύμβουλος της Ringstar Αθλητισμός

 

 

 

This fight between Victor Ortiz and John Molina Jr. is a great cherry on top to a great month for the sport of boxing. This is an all-action brawl that will be toe-to-toe. That’s what the fight fans want to see and that’s what we are going to get.

 

 

 

This card is absolutely loaded. It is full of young talent and experienced fighters who are sure to put on a great night of action for the fans at Citizens Business Bank Arena.

 

 

 

I know that Karlos Balderas and Joe Joyce are fired up to have this chance to perform on this platform and I believe the fans are going to be in for a real treat. For Joe it’s a debut in the U.S. that gives him a chance to make a big first impression. Both of these guys are absolutely ready to step into the spotlight.

WELTERWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPION KEITH THURMAN BREAKS DOWN CHAMPIONSHIP MATCHUP OF FORMER FOES DANNY GARCIA & Shawn Porter

This is one of the best matchups of the year. I try not to overthink it. It’s Porter by decision or Garcia only by KO. I lean toward Porter.” –
Keith Θέρμαν
Γκαρσία εναντίον. Φθορά | Σάββατο, Σεπτέμβριος 8 Ζουν σε Showtime®
Από Barclays Κέντρο στο Μπρούκλιν, Presented By
Premier Πυγμαχία Τσάμπιονς

ΝΕΑ ΥΟΡΚΗ (Σεπτέμβριος 4, 2018) – Welterweight World Champion Keith Thurman has an acute understanding of what it takes to beat Danny Garcia and Shawn Porter. Το αήττητο, former unified champion edged both fighters in blockbuster matchups and will be watching intently from ringside at Barclays Center as the two face off for the WBC Welterweight World Championship Thurman vacated due to injury.

 

 

 

The reigning WBA 147-pound champion, Thurman defeated Porter via unanimous decision in a 2016 Καταπολέμηση του υποψηφίου έτους (FULL FIGHT VIDEO: https://s.sho.com/2MAUoNH), and narrowly beat Garcia via majority decision in 2017 (FULL FIGHT VIDEO: https://s.sho.com/2MZB6kA). The matchups were so closely contested that both fights would have been ruled draws if a single round were scored differently.

 

 

 

Thurman spoke with SHOWTIME Sports® Hall of Fame analyst Steve Farhood to break down what he callsone of the best matchups of the yearin seven key categories – δύναμη διάτρησης, physical strength, άμυνα, ταχύτητα, boxing ability, ring IQ and chin.

 

 

 

See below for Thurman’s analysis of the showdown of consensus top-5 welterweights, which airs this Saturday live on SHOWTIME.

 

PUNCHING POWER: Edge GARCIA: “Danny can punch with both hands. He does load up, so you can’t be right there in front of him.

 

PHYSICAL STRENGTH: Edge PORTER: “Shawn is clearly the more physical fighter.

 

DEFENSE: Edge GARCIA: “Porter’s defense is his offense. Με Ντάνι, I’ve never seen anyone so willing to just stare at me without throwing a punch. He’s committed to being second, a pure counterpuncher.

 

SPEED: Edge PORTER: “Shawn is faster and a little more athletic. He’ll triple on the jab to get inside and use stutter-steps. Danny’s real relaxed, but that doesn’t necessarily come through in his hand speed.

 

BOXING ABILITY: Edge GARCIA: “Neither one is known for boxing. Danny’s a counterpuncher, and Shawn outworks you. Danny has nice boxing movement when he wants to be evasive. He’s underrated when on his back foot. We saw that against (Λούκας) Matthysse και (Μπράντον) Rios.

 

RING IQ: EVEN:Hard to judge. These are two world champions with tremendous amateur pedigrees.

 

CHIN: EVEN: “In my fights, Porter took more big punches than Garcia did. I had to hit hard to keep Porter off me. They both have enough power to hurt each other.

 

ΠΡΟΦΗΤΕΙΑ:This is one of the best matchups of the year. I try not to overthink it. It’s Porter by decision or Garcia only by KO. I lean toward PORTER.

 

 

 

ΤΟ ΠΡΩΤΑΘΛΗΜΑ SHOWTIME ΠΛΑΙΣΙΟ® τηλεοπτική εκπομπή αρχίζει στις 9 μ.μ. ET / 6 μ.μ.. PT and features a welterweight title eliminator between Yordenis Ugas and Cesar Barrionuevo and heavyweight action that pits unbeaten Polish slugger Adam Kownacki against former heavyweight champion Charles Martin.

Artem Φρόλοφ (κέντρο) is the M-1 Challenge middleweight champion

ΑΓΙΑ ΠΕΤΡΟΥΠΟΛΗ, Ρωσία (Σεπτέμβριος 4, 2018) — Αήττητος πρωταθλητής μεσαίου βάρους πρόκληση M-1 Artem Φρόλοφ will make his UFC debut, stepping in on short notice to replace injured Omari Ashkedov against battle-tested C.B. “The DobermanDollaway, Σεπτέμβριος 15 στο UFC Moscow card at Olympic Stadium in Moscow.

 

 

 

I am very happy for Artem,” Μ-1 Παγκόσμια πρόεδρος Vadim Finkelchtein είπε, “but a little bit nervous because he accepted the fight on such a short notice, only two weeks before the fitht. I’m sure he will demonstrate his high level once again. I said it before that Artem is the second strongest middleweight in Russia, after Alexander Shlemenko, and he deserves this shot. Some may know that Artem was going to fight Bruno Blindado Silva, who defeated Shlemenko, and I’m happy to say that this fight will happen this fall.

 

 

 

Η 26-year-old Frolov (11-0-0, Μ-1: 8-0-0), fighting at home out of Russia, captured his M-1 Challenge title belt last October, when he won a unanimous decision against Caio Magalhaes at M-1 Challenge 84. This past June at M-1 Challenge 93, Frolov made his first title defense versus Joe Riggs, who suffered a knee injury that led to a doctor’s stoppage in the second round.

 

 

 

A solid all-around fighter, Frolov has won 5 fights by stoppage, along with four submission victories and two by decision.

 

Frolov (L) is shown here landing a powerful strike smack on Caio Magalhaeschin

 

 

American MMA veteran Dollaway (17-8-0), representing Tempe, Αριζόνα, has been a UFC fighter for the past decade.

Figueroa (16-0, 11 KOs), the brother of former lightweight world champion Omar Figueroa, Jr., continues to climb the ladder in the featherweight division with a step up match against the tough former title challenger Escandon. The 21-year-old out of Weslaco, Texas was busy last year as he won all four of his matches and he has logged two knockout victories this year, beating Giovanni Delgado in March and Luis Roy Suarez Cruz in his last fight on August 4.

Before those losses he had put together a six-match win streak.

Undefeated Super Flyweight DylanThe Real DylPrice back in action this Saturday night at Barclays Center in Brooklyn

ΦΙΛΑΔΕΛΦΕΙΑ (Σεπτέμβριος 4, 2018)–This Saturday night, 8, Σεπ. DylanThe Real DylPrice from Sicklerville NJ steps into the ring once again on the undercard of the Danny Garcia vs Shawn Porter bout at the Barclay Center in Brooklyn NY.

 

 

Price, who is signed to Mayweather Promotions, and has perfect with a record of 6-0 με πέντε knockouts, is scheduled to fight Mulapi Enjani (4-5-2, 2 KOs) του Σαν Ντιέγκο, California in a scheduled 6 round super flyweight bout

 

 

 

I’m really excited to get back into the ring and to do so against a worthy opponent. Don’t let the record fool you. Enjani can fight. He puts a lot of punches together, but you can’t hit what you can’t see. I’m going to do what’s necessary on September 8th to get the win, and to continue my quest to become a world champion. My father and I have an excellent game plan, and I will execute that, and then enjoy the main event”.

 

 

 

Price is managed by D and D Management and is promoted by Mayweather Promotions.

CALEB HALL TAKES NO SHORTCUTS IN MIXED-MARTIAL-ARTS CAREER

Μπανγκόρ, Μέιν (Σεπτέμβριος 3, 2018) – There’s no evidence that Easy Street exists in the world of professional mixed-martial-arts.

 

 

 

If it did, it’s safe to say Caleb Hall wouldn’t be able to find it, even if he were furnished the most precise global positioning system and the unlimited kindness of strangers.

 

 

 

Hall is wired to fight hard, fight often, and fight against the best available competition to give himself an accurate barometer of where he stands in the sport.

 

 

 

That won’t change this Saturday, Σεπτέμβριος 8ου, when he takes on C.J. Ewer in a lightweight bout at New England Fights 35: “Wicked Season.” The card will take place at Cross Insurance Center in Bangor with an opening bell time of 7 μ.μ.

 

 

 

Αίθουσα, 24, a multi-time state champion wrestler during his career at Dirigo High School, isn’t bothered that he’ll be taking on a hometown hero who has been a titleholder for the regional promotion. It seems he subscribes to pro wrestling legend Ric Flair’s mantra: To be the man, you’ve got to beat the man.

 

 

 

“Whoever they offer and put in front of me is who I’m going to take on,” Hall said. “It doesn’t matter to me. It’s a big fight and it’s in his hometown. That definitely makes it more interesting.”

 

 

 

The fight is a natural pairing for two of Maine’s top pros. Each is eager to get back into the NEF hexagon, for opposite reasons, after their results earlier this year.

 

 

 

Hall handled John Ortolani, a wily veteran with main-event experience on his 20-fight ledger, in an impressive April pro debut. His game well developed from a double-digit total of amateur scraps, Hall earned a submission via the rarity of a Von Flue choke at 2:16 του στον εναρκτήριο γύρο.

 

 

 

Two months earlier, Ewer sustained his first loss in the pro cage by kneebar against Kemran Lachinov. He’s tough on home turf, ωστόσο, as evidenced by a stoppage of Rumford’s Mike Hansen last summer.

 

 

 

“We have similar styles and similar games,” Hall said, “I try not to think about my opponent too much and just try to fight my fight. He’s a tough matchup no matter who he’s in there against.”

 

 

 

Since making his debut only a month after he crossed the legal age threshold of 18, Hall has carved out a reputation as a relentless, crowd-pleasing competitor who isn’t picky about his opponents.

 

 

 

That’s made life easier for NEF co-owner and matchmaker Matt Peterson, who can always count on Hall being ready for prime time near the top of the bill.

 

 

 

“Caleb reminds me a lot of Devin Powell, our former lightweight champion. Devin most recently won in the UFC, the largest fight promotion on the planet,” Peterson said. “Devin got to where he is through good, old-fashioned diligence – desire, αφιέρωση, discipline and hard work. Caleb’s approach mirrors Devin’s. He’s not looking for the easy path to get where he wants to go.”

 

 

 

Everything else about Hall’s progression in the sport has been measured conservatively.

He toiled in the amateur ranks for more than five years, wanting to make sure that his acumen was developed and his repertoire well-balanced.

 

 

 

“I think I’m pretty well-rounded in every area,” Hall said, “My wrestling is still probably the strongest part of my game, but everything else is starting to catch up, like my submissions and my striking.”

 

 

 

Hall never budged from his amateur weight of 145 until moving up to 155 – historically NEF’s deepest and toughest pro division – for his shot at Ortolani.

 

 

 

He and Ewer are now jockeying for position in a class that provided great success for the likes of Powell, Bruce Boyington, Ryan Sanders, Jon Lemke and Jesse Erickson. Advancing to that fray would have been foolhardy if Hall hadn’t done things the right way physically and nutritionally.

 

 

 

“For me it’s been more about training and putting it on the right way. It wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be. I could still make 145, but this is a lot better for my body,” Hall said. “I was in the same weight class from the time I entered the sport when I was 18. It was a lot of weight cuts, but I was coming right out of high school wrestling where that was all part of it.”

 

 

 

When he fought at 145, Hall said his day-to-day weight when not in training was just shy of 170 λίρες. He can now comfortably carry 175 να 180 between bouts. Less last-minute dehydration is necessary to reach the lightweight limit.

 

 

 

“He’s on the treadmill every day. He’s logging his training hours with commitment and focus,” Peterson said. “He’s living the lifestyle. It’s guys like Caleb that really get me excited about the sport, because they show us the best stuff that human beings are made of, and they give us a glimpse of what we’re capable of as people. If Caleb Hall hits the heights that he’s set for himself – and I’m confident that he will get there – it will be because he earned it the entire way.”

 

 

 

Hall appreciates the perception that his fight with Ewer is a big one in the NEF title picture and beyond, but as always he is eager to steer clear of the hype.

 

 

 

“I had a lot of confidence going in (against Ortolani), and that hasn’t changed,” Hall said. “I see every fight as your biggest fight, οπωσδήποτε. That’s just how I try to approach it. This sport has a small window.”

 

 

 

Three five-minute rounds aren’t much time in the grand scheme, είτε, although it’s a grueling grind when two action fighters such as Hall and Ewer are going at it.

 

 

 

Despite their first-round finishes last time around, Hall won’t be surprised to see this one venture closer to the advertised distance.

 

 

 

“We’ll see what happens. I don’t go in there thinking I’m going to take him out,” Hall said. “I expect it to be a war. It’ll probably go deep into the second and third rounds, and we’ll see who swims.”

 

 

 

επόμενη εκδήλωση μικτές πολεμικές τέχνες-NEF του, “NEF 35: Κακή σεζόν,” θα δει την εταιρεία να επιστρέψει στο Cross Insurance Center στο Bangor, Μέιν. The event is scheduled to take place this Saturday, Σεπτέμβριος 8, 2018 με χρόνο καμπάνας 7 μμ. Τα εισιτήρια είναι στην πώληση τώρα στο www.CrossInsuranceCenter.com.

Russian Heavyweight KO Specialist Apti Davtaev Returns to Action on Sept 5

 

 

Undefeated heavyweight bomber Apti Davtaev will return to the ring in an 10-rounder on Wednesday, Σεπτέμβριος 5 in Grozny, Ρωσία

 

 

 

6’ 6” Davtaev (15-0-1, 14 KOs) will face 6’ 9” Moscow-based veteran Evgeny “Molecule from Hell” Orlov on a card that features his Salita Promotions stablemates Umar Salamov fighting for the WBO International Light Heavyweight Championship, and super middleweight Aslambek Idigov.

 

 

 

Davtaev (from the Chechen Republic of Kurchaloi) continues working with his US trainers, Kronk Gym’s Javan SugarHill Steward and co-trainer Rick Phillips, and says he’s enjoying his evolution to an American style of fighting.

 

 

 

“I had a great camp at Kronk Gym in Detroit, a place that produced so many great champions. My opponent is an experienced fighter and a big man. I look forward to fulfilling the legacy of the great fighters that trained in Detroit and, με αυτή τη νίκη, will continue to climb towards the heavyweight title.”

 

 

 

A fearsome puncher, Davtaev was last seen demolishing Kentucky’s Cory Phelps in two quick rounds.

 

 

 

“At 6’ 6” and 250 lbs., Apti has the size, strength and skills to be a real threat in the heavyweight division,” said his promoter, Dmitriy Salita. “On September 5, he is going to take another step towards his goal of becoming heavyweight champion.”

Ο Γκαρσία και ο Στίβενς κλείνουν 2018 Παγκόσμιο Πρωτάθλημα Νέων με Νίκες

Η ομάδα των ΗΠΑ φεύγει από τη Βουδαπέστη με 4 μετάλλια

Ο Στίβενς ξεκίνησε την τελευταία μέρα της πυγμαχίας στον πρώτο αγώνα εναντίον 2018 Πρωταθλητής Ευρώπης Ivan Price της Αγγλίας. Οδηγώντας σε αυτήν την αναμέτρηση, Ο Στίβενς και το προπονητικό επιτελείο της πυγμαχίας των ΗΠΑ εργάστηκαν πάνω σε ένα σχέδιο που θα κατέληγε στη νίκη.

 

 

 

«Τις τελευταίες τρεις ημέρες φτιάχναμε ένα πλάνο παιχνιδιού για να κρατάμε αποστάσεις και να κάνουμε πολλές λιποθυμίες,», είπε ο Στίβενς μετά την επίδοση του στο χρυσό μετάλλιο. «Νιώθω ότι το χρησιμοποιήσαμε πολύ καλά και έτσι πήρα τη νίκη».

 

 

 

Το flyweight εγκιβωτίστηκε συνολικά πέντε φορές στο τουρνουά των 11 ημερών, που περιελάμβανε μια νίκη με διάσπαση απόφαση επί του Πάτρικ Κλάνσι (Ιρλανδία), η ομόφωνη απόφαση κερδίζει τον Ιμπραήμ Μπουκεντίμ (Γαλλία) και ο Samandar Kholmurodov (Ουζμπεκιστάν), καθώς και μια διχοτομική νίκη επί του Bhavesh Kattimani (Ινδία) στα ημιτελικά. Η ομόφωνη απόφασή του νίκη σήμερα επί του Price του χάρισε τον πρώτο του τίτλο στο Παγκόσμιο Πρωτάθλημα και τον πρώτο τίτλο στα flyweight για νέους μετά τον Shakur Stevenson στο 2014.

 

 

 

«Αυτό σημαίνει πολλά, καμία λέξη δεν μπορεί να εξηγήσει πραγματικά πώς νιώθω,», δήλωσε ο Στίβενς. «Αυτό είναι το καλύτερο συναίσθημα στον κόσμο».

 

 

 

Η Γκαρσία πήρε τον δεύτερο τίτλο της στο Παγκόσμιο Πρωτάθλημα για να την προσθέσει 2015 Ο τίτλος του Παγκόσμιου Πρωταθλήματος Νεανίδων μαζί της 4-1 Νίκη με μοιρασμένες αποφάσεις επί της Anamika της Ινδίας.

 

 

 

«Το σχέδιο παιχνιδιού μου ήταν να χρησιμοποιήσω το τρύπημα μου και να το χρησιμοποιήσω ως κλειδί,»Είπε η Γκαρσία. «Ήθελα να δουλέψω και στις λήψεις σώματος και να την εξαντλήσω με αυτούς και πολλούς συνδυασμούς».

 

 

 

Όπως και η συμπαίκτρια της, Ο Γκαρσία συμπλήρωσε συνολικά πέντε ημέρες σε μια εξαντλητική παρένθεση που περιελάμβανε τρεις αγώνες στη σειρά.

Η σημερινή νίκη της Γκαρσία την προσθέτει σε μια λίστα με γυναίκες Αμερικανίδες μπόξερ που έχουν κερδίσει πολλούς ερασιτεχνικούς παγκόσμιους τίτλους, όπως η JaJaira Gonzalez και η Claressa Shields. Ο Γκαρσία είναι ο πρώτος Αμερικανός που κέρδισε παγκόσμιο τίτλο τόσο σε εφήβους όσο και σε νέους από τότε που το έκανε ο Γκονζάλες 2013 και 2014/2015. Ο Γκαρσία θα προσπαθήσει επίσης να συμμετάσχει στον Γκονζάλες στα βιβλία ρεκόρ με μια νίκη στους Ολυμπιακούς Αγώνες Νέων του Οκτωβρίου.

 

 

 

«Αυτή η νίκη είναι υπέροχη γιατί ήταν πιο δύσκολη από τον πρώτο μου τίτλο το 2015», συνέχισε ο Γκαρσία. «Όλοι είναι μεγαλύτεροι και πιο έμπειροι σε αυτό το επίπεδο, και δούλεψα πολύ σκληρά για να φτάσω στην κορυφή».
