TUCSON, Ariz. (Jan. 22, 2016) – Undefeated middleweight prospect Rob Brant scored the most impressive victory of his career with a fourth-round knockout of Decarlo Perez in the main event of ShoBox: An Giniúint Nua, beo ar Showtime ar an Aoine from Casino Del Sol in Tucson, Ariz. Highlight VIDEO: http://s.sho.com/1QqySWm
Known more for his boxing prowess, Brant (19-0, 12 Kos) displayed impressive power. After a big first round, in which he threw 97 punches and more of the same in the second, Brant floored Perez with a straight-right shot midway through the third.
The Minnesota native kept on the gas in the fourth and landed another straight right that sent Perez falling straight back partially through the ropes. Perez (15-4-1, 5 Kos) awkwardly landed back into the ring and referee Rocky Burke instantly ended the fight at :39.
“The game plan was to be aggressive,” Brant said. “We knew we wanted to show him our power early and make him respect us right away. When I caught him with the right on the temple in the third I knew we had him. And then when I connected in the fourth it was lights out, game over. I just want to get back in the ring as soon as possible and continue making progress.”
Perez, who entered the fight coming off an impressive win over previously undefeated Juan Ubaldo Cabrera last August on ShoBox, said he just got caught with a good shot.
“I just got caught,” Perez said. That’s all that happened. I didn’t see the shot coming and he was speedier than I thought. He’s fast and he got me with something I wasn’t ready for.”
SHOWTIME analyst Steve Farhood was surprised by Brant’s performance.
“Brant showed a dimension we hadn’t seen before,” Farhood said. “He’s thinking man’s fighter who fought an angry fight. Agus, as result of that, you have to put him near the very top of the list of middleweight prospects.”
Undefeated heavyweight prospect Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller floored Donovan Dennis twice in a thoroughly dominating seventh round TKO (2:31) sa ShoBox comh-gné.
Miller (16-0-1, 14 Kos), who went past the sixth round for the first time in his career, i dtír 52 faoin gcéad de chuid shots cumhachta. The Brooklyn native scored two knockdowns in the first round – the first with a devastating looping right, the second with a straight to the chest – and had Dennis nearly out on his feet in what looked like a certain first-round finish.
The southpaw Dennis (14-4, 11 Kos) somehow survived the round and actually pushed Miller into uncharted waters. Dennis had some moments where he out boxed his opponent, but Miller’s power and size – a 56 pound weight advantage – was the deciding difference. Dennis was breathing through his mouth and gasping for air when referee Tony Zaino wisely halted the contest as “Big Baby” teed-off on his defenseless opponent.
“I had him out in the first round, but I threw my shoulder out throwing a left hook,” Miller said. “I was looking for the knockout so bad he started catching me with some shots. So then I decided to box a little bit and that’s what I did until the knockout came.
“I’m glad it went seven rounds. It taught me to go to Plan B. I can box beautifully when I want and I showed some of that anocht. It was good experience. My power was there; my wind was good. I was breathing well and seeing the shots.”
Tar éis an troid, Miller called out the two American heavyweight world champions.
“Charles Martin, I’m coming for you. Deontay Wilder, I’m coming for your Alabama BBQ.”
In the locker room after the bout, Dennis admitted that he was surprised by Miller’s boxing ability: “He’s a better boxer than I thought he would be. That surprised me.”
I bout oscailt an telecast, undefeated welterweight prospect Bakhtiyar Eyubov impressed with a dominating demolition of the durable Jared Robinson with a third round TKO (:56).
Yeyubov (10-0, 10 Kos), who scored three knockdowns in three rounds, recorded his 10ú knockout in his 10ú career professional fight. The hard-throwing Eyubov landed a staggering 57 percent of his power shots while throwing only three jabs in the fight. The Kazakhstan native scored two knockdowns in the first and one in the third over the veteran Robinson (17-3-1, 17 Kos), who was only the second opponent to push Eyubov into the third round.
“Was I surprised at how easy it was? Ná Gan, I can’t believe he made it to round three,” Eyubov said. “The ref should have stopped it earlier. I am much smarter than I was before. I expect more of myself now. It was another step forward and I promise everyone all my fights will be like that. I am like (Arturo) Cats.
“My trainers are teaching me to move my head, and I’m confident that no one can hurt me. I will never ever be knocked down.”
Yeyubov, who entered the ring with a “papakha,” explained his cultural dance following the knockout win.
“The dance and the hat are traditional Kazakhstan traditions,” Eyobov said. “I was honoring my countrymen with that dance. And the hat is a symbol of my honor. No one can take that hat from me. "
An ShoBox tripleheader will re-air on Dé Luain, Jan. 25 ag 10 p.m. AGUS/PT ar Showtime Lorgaire agus beidh sé ar fáil ar Showtime AR ÉILEAMH® ag tosú Dé Sathairn, Jan. 23.

Miami, OK (Eanáir 22, 2016) – Heavyweight sensation Trey Lippe-Morrison will compete in his final six round contest when he faces Thomas Hawkins in the main event of a Holden Productions card at the Buffalo Run Casino in Miami, OK.
Coming from the talent laden city of Houston, TX Hawkins has a 4-1 record with one win by knockout. Although he will enter an lae amárach fight as the underdog, he sees it as added motivation to spoil future plans for Lippe-Morrison.
“When nobody expects you to win, it puts all of the pressure on your opponent. I’ve seen film on Trey and he’s a tough kid. My trainer knew his father well and Trey is a straight forward fighter just like his dad. As long as I work on what we did in training, we expect to win!"
Perfect as a pro with ten wins all by knockout, Lippe-Morrison’s jaw-dropping power has drawn comparisons to his father. Currently training under the tutelage of Freddie Roach at the Wild Card Boxing Club, the popular Vinita, OK native has huge expectations in boxing circles but must first get past Hawkins.
“It feels good to be moving up from six to eight rounds if all goes as planned,"A dúirt Lippe-Morrison. “I don’t know much about Hawkins outside of some footage I saw on YouTube where he appeared to be a patient and smart fighter that will make you pay for mistakes. My plan is to box him and get rounds in. I never go for knockouts they just happen to come.”
“Trey is the real deal and I plan to put him in big fights within the next year,"A dúirt an tionscnóir Tony Holden. “We are going to keep stepping him up and hope to get him rounds but he continues to knock out every man in front of him. I have no doubt that Trey Lippe-Morrison is the next American heavyweight star.”
Highlighting the undercard will be Lippe-Morrison’s “Four State Franchise” stablemates in separate bouts. Along with Lippe-Morrison, the Four State Franchise has fought in front of standing room only crowds on multiple occasions.
Bartlesville, OK based welterweight Jarrett “The Legacy” Rouse will look to make it 9-0 when he squares off with Arkansas’ Juan Parra over six stanzas.
Welterweight Jesse Cook of Seneca, MO aims for his sixteenth victory but Corpus Christi, TX’s John David Charles will attempt pull off the upset and win for the second time in three bouts. Cook and Charles will do battle over six rounds.
In a six round special attraction junior middleweight bout, unbeaten Nathan Gallimore travels from Evanston, IL to put his 10-0-1 ledger on the line against 34 fight veteran Rahman Yusubov of Texas.
“The Four State Franchise continues to impress in the ring and the demand for them is unlike anything I’ve seen since I promoted Tommy Morrison,"A dúirt Holden. “All of these guys can fight and I look forward to seeing them in bigger bouts in the near future.”
Seaimpín Trom Nua Nua Deir Charles Martin: ‘Tiocfaidh Mo Chuid Am Soiléir!’

Curadh Trommheáchain IBF úrnua “Prince” Charles Martin (23-0-1, 21 Kos) chóir a bheith ar scamall a naoi.
Ina sheachtú bliain de dornálaíocht agus beagán sa tríú háit mar ghairmí, Tá Martin ar an séú cos ó dheas le craobh meáchain trom a bhuachan riamh tar éis dó TKO a scóráil 3 thar barr-iomaitheoir na hÚcráine Vyacheslav Glazkov oíche Dé Sathairn seo caite, Eanáir 16, ag Ionad Barclay i Nua Eabhrac.
Is éacht iontach é aon teideal domhanda a bhuachan nach sroicheann an chuid is mó riamh le blianta fada de dornálaíocht. Cuir leis gur thóg Martin amach an 2008 Buaiteoir bonn cré-umha Sár-mheáchain Oilimpeach le bheith ar an dara curadh trom-mheáchain Mheiriceá i rannán a athnuachan go tobann.
“Mothaíonn sé go maith,” admhaíonn Máirtín. “Bhí mé ag iarraidh é a dhéanamh go tapa. Ní raibh mé in ann fanacht,” míníonn sé faoina ardú céime tapa. “Tógann roinnt rudaí a deir siad am ach nuair a bhíonn tú i ndáiríre meáite ar rud éigin a dhéanamh, déanfaidh tú é chomh luath agus is féidir.”
Agus a áit cinnte cheana féin sna leabhair staire dornálaíochta agus roinnt imeachtaí brabúsaí féideartha ar an léaslíne, cén fáth nach é Máirtín an fear is sona ar domhan?
Ba é an bealach a bhuaigh sé.
“Tá mothú folamh agam faoi láthair,” arsa an curadh 29 bliain d'aois. “Bhí mé os comhair an oiread sin daoine agus bhí sé in am agam a bheith ag taitneamh ar Showtime agus mo scileanna a thaispeáint don domhan. Mhothaigh mé nach raibh aon chumhacht aige agus dúirt sé liom féin gur obair éasca a bheadh ann. Bhí a fhios agam go raibh oíche iontach agam. Bhí mé ag dul go dtí KO dó agus ansin bheadh grá ag gach duine dom… ach níor tharla sé mar sin.”
Stop Glazkov ag troid i mbabhta a trí mar gheall ar ACL stróicthe ar a ghlúine agus dearbhaíodh Martin mar bhuaiteoir an teidil a bhí folamh ag an am mar gheall ar TKO de bharr díobhála..
“Theastaigh uaim an crios a bhuachan mo bhealach,” lean an díomá Martin. “Bheadh sé bainte amach sa deireadh. Bhí sé ag teacht chuige. Ní bhfuair mé fiú mo chuid uachtair a úsáid air, ach tá sé go maith ar fad.”
Humble agus thar a bheith taitneamhach, D’fhan Máirtín dea-bhéasach, iar-troid agus chuir sé a chomhbhrón in iúl do Glazkov díomách. Mar sin féin, ón oíche sin, Tá Glazkov tar éis a rá go raibh “rinne Martin amach” agus gur cinnte go mbeadh an chraobh aige murar gortaíodh é.
“Ó mo bheannacht, Tá mé ag iarraidh a bheith humhal faoin scéal, ach tá sé sin craiceáilte a dúirt sé,” dúirt Máirtín. “Má cheapann sé sin i ndáiríre, tá sé ag tuisliú. Bhí rudaí ar tí dul i bhfad níos measa dó. Geallaim duit, uair amháin thosaigh sé ag moilliú, bheadh mo chomhcheangail tar éis tosú ag teacht amach. Bhí an ceann/dó á chaitheamh agam mar bhí sé ag éirí go maith as an mbealach sa chéad chúpla babhta. Bhí mé díreach ag tosú. Shíl mé go gcuirfinn sa bhosca dó ar feadh tamaill agus ansin tosú ag dul air agus a chuid putóige a fhuip. Geallaim duit go raibh mé in ann. Shábháil an díobháil sin é. Bhris sé mo chroí nach raibh mé in ann an rud a theastaigh uaim a dhéanamh. Conas a tharlaíonn sé sin? Bhí spraoi agam.”
Deir Martin go raibh an-mhaith ag a fhoireann agus a chairde agus a ghaolta a mheabhrú dó go raibh an deireadh giorraithe as a smacht. Deir sé freisin go dtógfaidh sé saoire sciobtha agus go dtiocfaidh sé ar ais ag obair ansin.
Mar sin, cad a tharlóidh don chraobh nua trom-mheáchain Mheiriceá?
“Tyson Fury nó Deontay Wilder. Ba mhaith liom iad araon. Ba mhaith liom go léir is fearr. Sin an chéad bheart eile. Tiocfaidh mo chuid ama chun solais. Is curadh domhanda mé anois agus is féidir liom a rá go bhfuil an crios sna lámha cearta. Níl mé chun suí thart. Ba mhaith liom troid.”
Deir Martin freisin gurb é sin craobh domhanda na Breataine, Tyson Fury, cuireann sé a chuid antics magadh in iúl dó riamh, ní miste leis.
“Is maith an dornálaíocht dó rudaí den chineál sin a dhéanamh. Is maith liom go. Is gnó ar fad é. Ag deireadh an lae níl aon mhairteoil craiceáilte aige le haon duine. Níor chonnaic éinne máthair duine ar bith. Níl ann ach dornálaíocht. Bhí ort aird a fháil ar bhealach éigin. Déanann sé daoine ag iarraidh troid a fheiceáil. Táimid sa ghnó siamsaíochta agus gortaithe. Is cinnte gur troid cheart é sa fáinne áfach. Is rud neamhphearsanta é a éiríonn an-phearsanta nuair a théann siad i bhfáinne liom. Sin beirt fhear’ slí bheatha ann. Sin é ár n-ioncam dár dteaghlaigh.”

“Is dóigh liom go hiontach. I’m keeping my composure and staying focused. Dé Sathairn night will be another night of work for me.

“I’m going to make adjustments. I know he wants to get dirty but we have an answer for everything he has.”
ANGEL GARCIA, Athair Danny s & Traenálaí
“Bhí Danny campa mór. It was a beautiful camp. He looked great sparring. This is a new beginning in his life. There’s a new man in town.
“There’s no doubt Robert’s coming to fight. Tá an dornálaíocht. He’s supposed to come to fight. I know he’s not going to come in here and play with Danny. We’re ready for anything he brings to the table.
“We’re not going to let Robert take away what Danny has worked his whole life to get. I worked hard to make Danny the man he is today.

“We respect each other. We’re here to do a job. I respect Sammy. He’s a veteran. But once you get in the ring, it’s a different story. Everything goes out the window. He’s a boxer and a good counter puncher. But we have a plan and there won’t be any excuses.

DOMINIC BREAZEALE
“I’ve been waiting to get into the ring for a long time. I’m chomping at the bit. I’m anxious to get in there.
“This has been one of those camps. We had a fight in December. Charles Martin got away from me, but we’re going to get him back.
“They say you can’t go from the football field to the boxing ring, but I’m doing it. Undefeated and going for another knockout.
“That’s the first time I’ve seen him in person. He’s a midget compared to me. I don’t think he has any chance at all ar an Satharn oíche. I’m looking for a great knockout.
“Anytime you get a chance to fight on primetime TV is amazing. I fought on primetime during the Olympics and I’m looking forward to doing it here in front of my fans. If you’re not a fan of mine yet, you will be after Dé Sathairn.
“I hope Amir Mansour had a great camp as well because I’m going to bring it. It’s going to be fireworks.”
AMIR MANSOUR
“I’d like to thank everyone who helped me get this opportunity. PBC is doing a great thing with boxing and this is going to be another great fight.
“I’ve been winning fights, knocking guys out. We’ve all had trials and tribulations, I certainly have. But I’m a real fighter and a true fighter. I love the sport of boxing and I dedicate myself to the things that have gotten me here.
“Dé Sathairn I’m going to go in there and do my thing. You can’t come from a football field into the ring with me. It’s not going to work for you. I’m not going to allow it. I have a history of putting everything on the line in that ring and Dé Sathairn will be no different.”
TOM BROWN, Uachtarán na Tionscnaimh TGB
“This fight is about finding out who the best is. All great fighters want the opportunity to be in a fight like this.
“The show is headlined by one of the most exciting undefeated boxers, Danny Garcia, against a former world champion in Robert Guerrero. We know for sure that this is going to be a battle of two great warriors. Both men are going to bring everything they’ve got to this fight.”
DAVID NATHANSON, Head of Business Operations for FOX Sports
“This will be first of many events we will be doing with PBC on the FOX Network this year. It’s the first of some great things to come. Thanks to PBC for being such great partners and we’re thrilled to bring this fight into every home in America.”
