In just her first eight-round fight, Claressa “T-ريكس” Shields scored a spectacular unanimous decision victory last Friday, يونيو 16, at the Masonic Temple in Detroit to win the WBC Silver Super Middleweight Title.

الدروع (3-0, 1KO) dominated tough Sydney “Ginger the Ninja” LeBlanc (4-2-1), winning all eight rounds on all three judges’ scorecards en route to adding the WBC Silver belt to her NABF Middleweight Championship belt. LeBlanc was simply no match for the blazing fists of crowd favorite Shields, who has convincingly established herself as a world championship-class contender in women’s boxing after just three professional fights.
الدروع’ bout was the main event of a jam-packed Detroit Brawl event which set a new gate record for promoter Dmitriy Salita’s popular Detroit-based series.

“Claressa is one of the best boxers in the world!” وقال ديمتري Salita. “Regardless of gender, her skills and experience are that of the elite fighters in the world. She is improving with each fight and the sky is the limit. Claressa is ready for the top fighters in her division and we will work on making a big championship fight happen next.”

In the 10-round co-main event, transplanted Detroit cruiserweight Alexey Zubov moved to 15-1, 9 KOs with a surprisingly easy 10-round decision over Detroit’s highly regarded Demetrius Banks (9-1, 4 كوس).
من جرس الافتتاح, the superior work rate of Zubov told the story, as the confused Banks had no answers for the big Russian’s jab. سجل جميع القضاة الثلاثة المعركة 99-91. لم تكن هناك knockdowns.
“Two of the best cruiserweight prospects in the world met in Detroit,” continued Salita. “The winner is now a real contender, ready to fight the best in the world. Alexey is much improved since his time training with Sugar Hill at the Kronk Boxing Gym. The magic of Kronk is alive and came to life in Alexey’s performance. Great things on the horizon for him!”
Another of Salita’s growing stable of promising contenders, Detroit bantamweight Ja’Rico O’Quinn (7-0, 5كوس) had too many tools for the outgunned David Martino (2-3, 2 كوس) and won by dominant unanimous decision (60-54, جميع القضاة الثلاثة). A talent to watch, O’Quinn basically walked the determined Martino into his lightning-fast shots for six rounds.
“Ja’Rico’s defense was superb in his fight. His opponent was rarely able to even touch him. He is going to be a force at 118 رطل. in the not-too-distant future.”
Another surging contender from the Salita stable, junior welterweight wrecking ball Bakhtiyar Eyubov (13-0, 11 كوس) يحتاج فقط 1:41 of round one to chew up and spit out Mexico’s Cesar Soriano. Eyubov targeted the body of Soriano and took away his breath with thudding left hoods to the liver that ended things quickly. Eyubov is an animal.
“Bakhtiyar went up a weight class because no one will fight him. This fight showed why,” سعيد كلمة. “He is too strong for most fighters to stay in with for very long. He will be in a big fight in the near future. He’s ready.”
In other results, Michigan’s Antonio Urista (8-2, 2 كوس), pulled off a surprising upset with a six-round unanimous decision (59-53 و 58-54 و 58-54) over Turkmenistan’s Serdar Hudayberdiyev (3-1, 2 كوس). Urista dropped Hudayberdiyev with a looping right hand and he never fully recovered. Both fighters suffered cuts in this rugged affair.
To open the show, Michigan light heavyweight Darren Gibbs (1-2, I KO) picked up his first professional victory with a 30-second TKO1 over debuting Scott McCurdy; Jacob Bonas (3-0-1, 2 كوس) scored a TKO3 over Tony Brooks (1-2) and Dimash Niyazov (10-0-3, 5 كوس) stayed undefeated with a fifth-round TKO over a surprisingly determined Ramon Guevara (10-24-2, 6 كوس).
“Thank you to everyone involved in this terrific show,” وقال ديمتري Salita. “The fans of Michigan asked for world-class boxing and they’ve responded by filling the Masonic Temple. And thank you to all my great sponsors for all their help and congratulations to all the fighters for their brave performances. It is onward and upward for Claressa Shields, who will be back later this summer against a world-class fighter. Clearly, she is ready for anyone in the world.”

Exciting Slugger Eyubov Ready to Knock Out Soriano at Salita Promotions’ Detroit Brawl on Friday, يونيو 16, at Masonic Temple

ترك تعليق
When you’re an absolute beast in the ring, opponents are hard to come by. لحسن الحظ, rising junior welterweight contender Bakhtiyar Eyubov is a patient predator.
Chomping at the bit for a big opportunity, Yeyubov (12-0, 10 كوس) of Aktobe, كازاخستان, will rise in weight once again to feast on Iztacalco, Mexico’s Cesar Soriano (27-35-1, 16 كوس) في الجمعة, يونيو 16, 2017, at the Masonic Temple in Detroit.
The pair will meet on the undercard of promoter Dmitriy Salita’s blockbuster “Detroit Brawl,” featuring an eight-round main event between two-time Olympic gold medalist Claressa “T-ريكس” الدروع (2-0, 1 KO) فلينت, ميشيغان, and Mery Rancier (7-8-3, 5 كوس) سانتو دومينغو, جمهورية الدومينيكان, for the WBC Silver Super Middleweight Championship.
In the 10-round co-main event, undefeated Detroit cruiserweight Demetrius Banks (9-0, 4 كوس) will face Detroit via Russia’s Alexey Zubov (14-1, 9 كوس).
تذاكر ل “Detroit Brawl” are priced at VIP $200, Box Seats $100, Floor Seating $100 & $55, and balcony seating $40, and are available at all Ticketmaster outlets and Ticketmaster.com.
Confident and swaggering in the ring, Eyubov is not just a hard-punching slugger doing his job. Clearly, Eyubov loves to beat people up, often laughing and dancing during his exciting appearances. While the 30-year-old’s style delights his audiences, being on the receiving end of it isn’t something a lot of fighters are eager to do.
“As usual, it’s very hard for me to find opponents to fight at my true weight class of junior welterweight,” سعيد Eyubov. “But I had a great camp and I’m looking forward to putting on a show for the Detroit crowd against a veteran Mexican fighter who is durable, cagey and experienced.”
This difficulty finding opponents had forced Eyubov to rise to 147 lbs for many of his ring appearances, including this fight against Soriano. In his biggest victory to date, he also gained weight to score a split decision over well-respected welterweight veteran Karim Mayfield in August of 2016. المعركة, a back-and-forth barnburner, was televised live on ShoBox: الجيل الجديد.
وهكذا, with a lack of world-class opponents willing to trade blows, Eyubov says he will continue to work hard and improve with trainer Ismat Niyazov at The Fight Factory in his adopted home of Brooklyn until reaching the point where he can no longer be avoided.
“I’ve been working on improving my boxing ability with the intention of landing my power shots in combinations. I love exciting fights and knockouts that’s what I am looking to deliver on June 16 في ديترويت. One fight at a time, but I want to fight the best fighters in the junior welterweight and welterweight divisions. I am coming.”
In another of the chief supporting bouts, Detroit’s rising talent and “Great Lakes King” Ja’Rico O’Quinn (6-0, 5 كوس) returns to action in a six-round bantamweight brawl against David Martino (2-2, 2 كوس) of San Felipe, المكسيك.

Opening the night will be a six-round super lightweight tilt between Staten Island, New York via Kazakhstan’s Dimash Niyazov (10-0-3, 4 كوس) and Grand Rapids, ميشيغان, veteran Ramon Guevara (10-24-2, 6 كوس); as well as a four-round welterweight bout between undefeated Jacob Bonas (2-0-1, 1 KO) of Bellville, ميشيغان, and Clinton Township, Michigan’s Tony Brooks (1-1).

“I’m very appreciative of the opportunity to fight Zubov,” said Banks. “This is an opportunity to show I can rise to every occasion! Alexey is a tough all-business fighter, who is a very necessary component to my advancement and true arrival in the sport. This mission is much bigger than me.

30-year-old Zubov, originally from Magnitogorsk, روسيا, relocated to Detroit’s Kronk Gym in 2016, to train with Javan SugarHill Steward, nephew of the late Emanuel Steward. The former heavily decorated amateur says he’s coming in all-new for this important showdown.
“I am feeling good. I have had a great camp so far and I will be ready. I am always in great shape and always ready for a fight. I’ve sparred with him (Banks) a couple times and he’s a good fighter. He’s very good technically. It’ll be a good fight. I am prepared to show a brand-new Alexey for this fight and how much I have improved working with Sugar.”
Promoter Dmitriy Salita says he’s happy to be bringing this sensational fight to his adopted home of Detroit. “A high-level 50/50 شجار, where anyone can win.

Bigger, Stronger Heavyweight Version of Junior Wright to be Unleashed against McCreary at Detroit Brawl on January 22, at Masonic Temple in Detroit

ترك تعليق
Former cruiserweight world title challenger “إعصار” Junior Wright has been hitting the weights hard and will enter the ring for the first time as a heavyweight in his next ring appearance.
رايت (15-2-1, 12 كوس) from Evanston, إلينوي, expects to come in at a muscular 225 رطل. when he takes on Detroit’s Damon McCreary (15-6, 11 كوس) in an eight-round featured bout on promoter Dmitriy Salita’s special الأحد edition of his “Detroit Brawl” series on يناير 22, 2017, at Masonic Temple in Detroit.
Once again sponsored by the Greektown Casino Hotel, تذاكر ل “Detroit Brawl” are priced at VIP $123, Box Seats are $80 و $60, Seating is $40, و $20. They are available at all Ticketmaster outlets and Ticketmaster.com.
“التدريب يسير على ما يرام,” said Wright. “I’m treating this like another world title fight because at this level anyone could beat you on any day.”
Despite a short, 50-شجار, amateur career, Wright was a Chicago Golden Gloves winner as an amateur. He was able to drop Beibut Shumenov in May of this year, challenging for the WBA world championship.
“The biggest thing I learned in that fight is to relax in the ring. When you’re relaxed, you are more aware in there and can pace yourself a lot better.”
Wright’s trainer, Rick Wilson, says the decision to gain 25 رطل. gives the fighter, who he says can still get down to cruiserweight’s 200-lb limit, more career options moving forward.
“Junior is like a Holyfield-type of fighter who is a cruiserweight in his early 20s and then grows into a full-fledged heavyweight near his 30s. People like small, agile heavyweights better than the lumbering monsters hugging each other all fight. They make for more exciting fights.”
Wilson says because of Wright’s relative lack of experience, the world hasn’t seen the best of him yet.
“How many fighters have had two world title fights by their 18th pro fight (the fight against Chakhkiev was for the IBO World Cruiserweight Championship) after having just 50 معارك الهواة?” he asked. “Plus Junior was knocking everybody out, so he had very few rounds in the bank and went in on short notice. The best of Junior Wright is still to be seen. He’s a very special talent.”
In separate eight-rounders will be a pair of recognizable contenders, Detroit fan favorite Lanardo “Pain Server” Tyner (30-10-2, 19 كوس) and welterweight KO artist Bakhtiyar “Bakha Bullet” Yeyubov (11-0, 10 كوس) من هيوستن, تكساس, via Aktjubinsk, Kazakhstan will face opponents in separate bouts.
In other scheduled eight-rounders will be transplanted cruiserweight Alexey Zubov (13-1, 8 كوس), from Magnitogorsk, روسيا, now living in Detroit and Detroit’s all-action bantamweight James Gordon Smith (11-0, 6 كوس).
In six-round bouts will be resurgent Detroit welterweight “صاعقة” Larry Ventus (7-11-1, 3 كوس); and undefeated Toledo super middleweight prospect DeAndre Ware (8-0, 6 كوس).
In exciting scheduled four-rounders will be talented, undefeated bantamweight Jarico “Great Lakes King” O’Quinn (4-0, 3 كوس); 2016 Olympic alternate and undefeated middleweight Ardreal Holmes (4-0, 2 كوس) فلينت; and undefeated Detroit heavyweight and former National Golden Gloves champion Marcus Carter (1-0, 1 KO).
All opponents are, حتى الآن, TBA, but matchmaker Dennis Turner is hard at work to make another spectacular night that these shows are known for.
في ليلة المعركة, الأبواب مفتوحة في 4:00 رئيس الوزراء and the fights begin at 5:00 رئيس الوزراء. The Masonic Temple is located at 500 Temple Street in Detroit.

ZUBOV: I CAME TO DETROIT TO BECOME CHAMPION

ترك تعليق
Russian cruiserweight is back in action on تشرين الثاني 12 at the latest ‘Detroit Brawl’ at the Masonic Temple

Last April at the Turning Stone in Verona, نيويورك, and with the ShoBox: The New Generation cameras rolling, Alexey Zubov admits he choked.

“I was nervous. I never fought on a big show,” explained Zubov of the unanimous decision loss he suffered to Moldova’s Constantin Bejenaru. “It was such a huge step in my career and I felt frozen by nerves.”
Fighters often make excuses when they lose, but with Zubov, there may be some validity. Normally a very active fighter with a high work rate, Zubov appeared listless and sluggish for eight uneventful rounds.
“Life doesn’t always go the way you want. Losing that fight made me stronger. It was a good lesson for me and it was good for my experience to fight on that level. And now I know what it’s like. That will never happen again.”
Zubov will continue his quest for another shot at the big time on السبت, تشرين الثاني 12, at Salita Promotions’ “Detroit Brawl” event at the Masonic Temple in Downtown Detroit.
Sponsored by Thomas Magee’s Sporting House Whiskey Bar, تذاكر ل “Detroit Brawl” will be priced at VIP $123, Box Seats $100, الصف الأول في الحلبة $93, $63, $38, و $28 and available at all Ticketmaster outlets andTicketmaster.com.
Originally from Magnitogorsk, روسيا, Zubov says he’s enjoyed his last eight months living in Detroit and working with the late Emanuel Steward’s nephew Javan “سكر” هيل في صالة Kronk الرياضية المنبعثة من جديد.
“I came to Detroit to become a champion. I want to show everyone that I’m a world-class cruiserweight and I want to show everyone all the things Javan has been teaching me. He is a great trainer and I have a very good relationship him.”
When not in training, Zubov says he loves the challenge of adapting to a new culture, virtually alone.
“I only miss my parents, but we talk everyday on Skype or Facetime and they support me all the way. I don’t have many Russian-speaking friends in Detroit. معظم الوقت, I practice my English to try and learn it well. كل يوم, I challenge myself to learn new words. I’ve always been like that. Just like my boxing skills. Every day I push myself to be better.”
Zubov says in near-perfect English that he’d love the chance to settle some unfinished business.

“I want a rematch with Bejenaru so bad. I can do so much better than that. I know I can. I will prove I can. I will not stop until I do.”
