MIAMI, Okla. (Mars 26, 2016) – On a night of knockouts, unbeaten super lightweight Regis "Rougarou" LOGICIELS (17-0, 14 KOs), de Houston, scored his third consecutive dominant victory on ShoBox: La Nouvelle Génération, knocking out Mexico’s Aaron Herrera (21-5-1, 12 KOs) à 2:17 de la première ronde Vendredi dans l'événement principal surAFFICHER L'HEURE de Buffalo Run Casino à Miami, Okla.

 

In scheduled eight-round bouts that all ended early, Ivan "The Beast" Baranchyk (10-0, 9 KOs), de Brooklyn, N. Y., registered a 21-second, premier tour KO sur Nick Givhan (16-1-1, 10 KOs), de Kalamazoo, Michigan, in a super lightweight scrap, Ukrainian welterweight Ivan "Le Volk" Golub (16-0, 10 KOs, 5-0 en World Series of Boxing), de Brooklyn, N. Y., scored a sixth-round TKO over Marlon Aguas (9-1, 6 KOs), de Quito, Equateur, et Justin DeLoach (14-1, 8 KOs), of Augusta, Géorgie., who is trained by former world champion Paul Williams, registered a fourth-round knockout over undefeated super welterweight and local favorite Dillon “White Lightning” Cook (16-1, 6 KOs).

 

All but Prograis and Baranchyk were making their ShoBox débuts. Cuisinier, Aguas and Givhan became the 143rd, 144e et 145e boxers to suffer their first pro loss on the prospect developmental series.

 

“I can’t remember en 15 ans of working ShoBox a show with such emphatic knockouts – and two of them being spectacular knockout of the year candidates,'' Dit ShoBox analyste expert Steve Farhood.

 

LOGICIELS, 5 pieds 9 pouces, 27-year-old originally from New Orleans, was fighting in his second consecutive ShoBox main event and second scheduled 10-rounder. The aggressive-minded southpaw pounded Herrera’s body from the opening bell; five of his six power punches were targeted to the Mexican’s midsection. A left hook to the body downed Herrera, who crumpled to the canvas and wasn’t able to beat the count.

“I was prepared to go 10 tours complets, the last thing I was expecting was a first-round knockout,’’ said Prograis, who was making his 2016 début. “I’m making hard fights look easy but they’re really not. It’s all the daily work in the gym all day every day that is paying off for me. Tonight was fun. I’m very satisfied.

“I want all the fighters in my division to know one thing: I’m coming after all of you.’’

“He just got me with a great shot, it was simple as that,’’ said Herrera, who making his second start in the United States. “There’s really not that much that I can say.’’

 

The highly regarded Baranchyk – making his second eight-round start and second in a row on ShoBox – knocked out Givhan with a huge left hand with the first power punch of the fight. He required only two punches to finish the 17-fight veteran. Étonnamment, it wasn’t the quickest professional KO for the Belarus native. Baranchyk owns a three-second KO over Angel Figueroa à partir de 2015.

 

“I’m very happy,’’ Baranchyk said. “I was expecting a much longer fight. I was focused on a full fight. But knockouts are good. I know fans like knockouts.

 

“I’ll take a week off and then go back to the drawing board. I’m looking ahead to fighting again soon and on ShoBox again.’’

 

Givhan was shocked with the result.

 

I’m good but I am very, very disappointed,” Givhan said. “This is the lowlight of my life. For me to get knocked out by someone I know I can beat is just the worst feeling. And there’s nothing worse than for it to happen on national television.

 

No one expects 20-second fights. Je viens de me attrapé, c'est tout.”

Golub, a former standout amateur from Ukraine, had to rally from the first knockdown of his career. “This was a little tougher than I expected,'' At-il dit. “But it’s all about learning. I had to go through some adversity to win. You don’t know adversity until it hits you in the face.”

Golub was the more active fighter against the awkward Aguas, who was at his best when matters turned ugly. In a bizarre second round, southpaw Golub scored a questionable knockdown as Aguas hit the canvas while clinching and off-balance. Aguas bounced back seconds later to knock down Golub with a short right, sending the Ukrainian to the canvas for the first time in his career.

“I was surprised that I got knocked down, but he caught me off-balance,’’ Golub said. "Global, I am very happy with my performance.”

Golub resumed control after the second and a series of combinations in the sixth sent a gassed Aguas falling back through the ropes in the closing seconds of the round. Aguas somehow rose to his feet to beat the count, but his trainer quickly waved off the bout when the Ecuadorian returned to the corner.

Aguas said an injury, not fatigue, was the reason his corner stopped the fight at the end of the sixth. “I hurt my right bicep in the fifth round,'' At-il dit. “That’s the reason we stopped it. I wasn’t that tired.”

Dans la lutte d'ouverture de la télédiffusion, DeLoach made Williams a winner in his training debut. With Williams looking on from his wheelchair in the corner, DeLoach, a winner of four in a row, dropped Cook with a devastating, counter-overhand right at 2:47 of the fourth that sent Cook awkwardly to the canvas in a knockout of the year candidate.

 

“I’m happy with my performance,’’ said DeLoach, who was the more active fighter, jetant presque 100 more punches over the four rounds. “This was a great experience fighting a guy like this in his backyard. I enjoyed the crowd and their enthusiasm. It motivated me. I got a little lazy in parts of the second and third rounds, but I listened to my corner and picked it up on offense and got my punch count up and going again.

 

“Dillon was a good fighter who moved a lot. I know I have to do better cutting off the ring. He landed with a left a second before I landed that big right. This was a great win for all of us. I’m ready to do this again.’’

 

“Look at me, look at my shirt. It feels like I was sweating worse than when I fought,’’ said Williams, 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. “I am very relieved to get this one out of the way. I’m very happy for Justin and Mr. Pete (Paul’s longtime manager and trainer and DeLoach’s assistant trainer, George Williams)

 

"Je vais bien, all things considered,’’ said Cook. “He was a tough guy. I’ve never been knocked out before so I don’t exactly know how to act. I felt I was in the fight until I was caught. It’s disappointing, but this was a great learning experience for me. It can only help me in the long run.’’

 

A taped interview with Williams and ShoBox analyst Steve Farhood aired prior to the bout. In the discussion, Farhood asked the former two-time champ why he chose to return as a trainer for the first time since the 2012 motorcycle accident left him paralyzed.

«J'ai eu ensemble beaucoup de plaisir dans mon dernier combat parce (Abel) Ramos juste continué à venir. Je me bats un vétéran, 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 vient avec rien à perdre, mais j'aime la lutte contre le style mexicain. Je me suis entraîné à Houston, donc il ne sera pas apporter quelque chose que je ne l'ai pas vu avant.

 

«Je peux être un gaucher noire ou je peux bagarre. J'adore se battre, ce qui explique pourquoi j'ai commencé dans la boxe. Mon état d'esprit est de frapper et de lutte, quand il descend à lui.

Il ressemble Prograis aime à se présenter et vient de se battre, et je ferai la même chose, bien que je suis probablement plus d'un boxeur qu'un cogneur.

 

"Ceci est de prendre soin des affaires. J'ai été 12 tours avant. I’ve fought some good fighters with good records. Ceci est seulement mon deuxième combat en Amérique, mais j'ai appris beaucoup de la première et qui va certainement me aider. J'ai plus de confiance. Ce ne sera pas une nouvelle expérience pour moi.

 

"Je me suis battu avec les gauchers avant, donc après quelques tours, Je suis sûr que je vais sentir à l'aise. Je suis vraiment venue pour gagner. Je ne peux pas attendre pour entendre la sonnerie de cloche d'ouverture. ''

«Je suis un perforateur, Je tiens à le porter et je suis venue pour le knock-out.

 

"Je suis seulement 23 mais je travaille très dur et je sens que je suis venue le long. Je suis dans la salle de gym tout le temps. L'une des principales choses que nous travaillons sur le plus est le calme intérieur de l'anneau. Je me sens comme j'installer plus et travailler le jab, mais il est encore quelque chose que nous travaillons sur.

 

"Vous ne pouvez pas entrer et frapper tout le monde dehors. Ce n'est pas si facile. Vous devez configurer vos coups de poing parfois. Je ne vais pas changer d'être un cogneur naturel, mon équipe ne cherche pas à enlever le feu en moi, ils veulent juste me installe. ''

"Il est certainement l'un des adversaires les plus difficiles que j'ai rencontrées. Il est grand, puissant et frappe fort toute lutte. Mais je suis le plus dur qu'il a affronté.

"Cela façonne comme un boxeur contre combat perforateur qui me favorise. Il peut sortir piquant à première, mais une fois qu'il est touché, il peut être frustré. Voilà ce que je vais profiter de, son over-agressivité.

 

«Je suis impatient de saisir le moment demain soir. ''

 

IVAN GOLUB

 

«Je suis très heureux d'être sur cette carte et impatient de combattre sur mon premier ShoBox carte. Ceci est un grand pas et ça va être un grand combat.

 

«Quand je suis la chance de se battre ShoBox, Je ne l'ai même pas demandé qui je me battais. Je longeron avec certains des meilleurs là-bas (Ievgen Khytrov,Sergey Derevanchenko, etc.). Mais je suis plus d'un boxeur-perforateur que certains de mes coéquipiers.

A member of Holden Productions“Four State Franchise”, the popular Cook is from nearby Seneca, MO and fought in front of sellout crowds on multiple occasions. While these are definite advantages for Cook, DeLoach comes into the ring with an impressive background.

 

Against DeLoach, 13-1 (7 KO), Cook is taking a significant step up in competition and will do so before a national audience.

"(To specifically prepare for DeLoach) we’re working on (technique to counter) his style. 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.”

 

Cook also acknowledges his advantages and never second guessed taking the step up in competition.

 

“I’m a smart fighter and can adapt well (plus le) 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. I’ve had 16 professional fights and am ready to show the world that I’m capable of going to the next level.”

 

Cook’s promoter, Tony Holden, is confident in his fighter and believes the locals will come out droves to support him.

 

“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.”

 

The Cook-DeLoach bout opens up a quadrupleheader live on Showtime (10:30 PM ET). The card also features highly regarded junior welterweight Regis Prograis (16-0) against Aaron Herrera (29-4-1), two showdowns where somebody’s 0 must go between unbeaten welterweights Ivan Golub (10-0) and Marlon Aguas (9-0) and junior welterweights Ivan Baranchyk (9-0) vs Nicholas Givhan (16-0-1).

 

PAUL WILLIAMS RETURNS TO BOXING AS A TRAINER

FORMER WORLD CHAMPION TO TRAIN PROSPECT JUSTIN DELOACH

IN FOURTH FIGHT ADDED TO Vendredi, MARS 25,

ShoBox: LA NOUVELLE GÉNÉRATION ÉMISSION DE TÉLÉVISION

“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;

En direct sur Showtime® À 10:30 p.m. ET/PT

NEW YORK (Mars 15, 2016) – Former two-time world champion Paul Williams, 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 Justin DeLoach (13-1, 7 KOs) when DeLoach faces undefeated super welterweight and local favorite Dillon Cuisinier (16-0, 6 KOs) in the opening eight-round bout of what is now a ShoBox: La Nouvelle Génération quadrupleheader sur Vendredi, Mars 25, survivreAFFICHER L'HEURE (10:30 p.m. ET/PT, retardés sur la côte ouest) à partir de Buffalo Run Casino en Miami, Okla.

 

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. C'étaitGeorge 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. Maintenant, 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; before that, 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,'' At-il dit. “What’s happened has happened. C'est ce que c'est. This is my first time stepping back into the world. Je adore la boxe.

 

“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. Gagner ou perdre, I don’t want to see anybody get hurt.’’

 

On DeLoach, Williams a dit, “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,'' At-il dit. “You take shortcuts, you know what’ll happen. I took the long road home when I was fighting and fans, combattants, 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. Bien, you can’t pull anything over me. Je ai été là, seen it all.’’

 

Et, comme toujours, he’ll have George Peterson by his side.

 

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

 

It will be the ShoBox et 2016 débuts — 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, Géorgie., has won three in a row since suffering his lone loss to Cesar Villa le Fév. 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, that’s the main thing. 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, Géorgie., 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, 'Hey, 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.”

 

Dans sa dernière sortie, DeLoach won a shutout four-round decision overSantos Benavides dernier Décembre. 12. DeLoach, a pro since March 2013, fought six times that year and four times each in 2014 et 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.’’

 

Cuisinier, 25, is from Seneca, Mo., 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.
