CORONA, Kalifòni. (Nov. 4, 2016) - Tares “The Real Deal Shelestyuk maintained an unbeaten record and continued his ascent in the welterweight division with a close, unanimous 10-round decision over his toughest opponent to date, Jimmy “The Truth” Herrera nan Vandredi a main event of a ShoBox: New Generation a tripleheader ap viv sou Chotim from the outdoor Omega Products Event Center nan Corona, Kalifòni.

 

Shelestyuk (15-0, 9 Ko), nan 2012 Olympic Games Bronze Medalist for Ukraine, was victorious by the scores of 96-93 de fwa epi 95-94. Despite a gutsy, gritty performance, Herrera (15-4-1, 8 Ko), nan Chicago, Malad., had a three-fight winning streak end. There were no knockdowns.

 

In a rough and tumble, bloody collision of undefeated cruiserweights in the co-feature, southpaw Constantin Bejenaru (12-0, 4 Ko, 0-1-1 nan mond seri de Bòks), of Catskill, N.Y.. by way of Moldova, survived a knockdown and several unintentional head butts to register a unanimous 10-round decision over Steve Bujaj (16-1-1, 11 Ko), nan New York.

 

Pi renmen fanatik Lokal Manuel “La Tormenta” Mendez (13-1-2, 9 Ko), nan Indio, Kalifòni., registered an impressive one-punch, 2:32 first round knockout over previously undefeated Vitor Jones Freitas (12-1, 1 ND, 6 Ko), of Salvador, Bahia, Brezil, in a scheduled eight-round bout that opened the telecast.

 

Southpaw Shelestyuk, who entered the ring ranked No. 9 in the WBO and No. 13 nan WBA a, turned back a determined bid by Herrera to win despite getting docked a point for excessive holding in the fifth round.

 

"Se te yon batay difisil,’’ Shelestyuk. “He is a tough fighter, he is slow but he worked well. Nan premye tou an, I did well but my legs went on me. I think it was because I did not sleep well.

 

“After five rounds I started to find my rhythm. I started boxing him. I made some mistakes in there like pulling straight back. This fight will make me better. Tankou mwen te di, he was tough but nothing special. When my legs went, I started to work inside. I beat him good in the last round and if there was 30 seconds more, I could have stopped him.

 

“I am looking forward to being more active in 2017. I will take two or three weeks off and be right back in the gym.’’

 

“The Truth” hurts and Herrera had more than his fair share of moments in a tight fight. Herrera, a pro since December 2009, figured to be a legitimate test for Shelestyuk and he was. But Taras was more active (aterisaj 169 nan 689 pwenson, compared to Herrera’s 130 nan 460). Each connected 28 pousan nan tan an.

 

Herrera, who had defeated undefeated prospects in four of previous nine fights, was not happy with the verdict. “It was a good fight. There is not much that I can say. I thought it was closer than the scores indicated. I had fun in there and I give him credit. He was everything I expected. He is a smart fighter.’’

 

“I would live to be a test dummy for all these young prospects. I thought it could have been a draw, but the people who saw it on TV can have their opinion.’’

 

Making his second ShoBox kòmansman, Bejenaru triumphed by the scores of 97-91 on the three judges’ scorecards. The lefthander went down from a clean, counter left hook to the chin in the fifth and got the worse of the unintentional head butts but appeared to outhustle and outfight a reluctant Bujaj most of the way.

 

A short cruiserweight with an awkward, herky-jerky style Bejenaru pressed the issue throughout and was much more active, throwing more than 100 more punches than Bujaj (454-336) and averaged 45 punches thrown per round compared to 38 for Bujaj.

 

“He’s a dirty fighter,’’ said Bejenaru after a match in which he suffered a bad cut over his left eye and a big welt on his overhead. “You look at all his fights, all he does is lead with his head. I was affected by his head butts but there was no way I was going to stop. He complains a lot, but all he did was foul. It felt to me like he bit me on the left ear after… that’s how he fights.

 

“The sport is boxing, not swimming and he flails his punches like a swimmer, a street fighter, not a pro fighter. He caught me with a clean shot on the knockdown but I got right up and wasn’t hurt.

 

“This win is a big step in my career. It will help me continue to rise me up in the rankings on my way to a title shot.’’

 

Bujaj, who was making his ShoBox debut, was livid afterward.

 

“Hell, yeah, I’m mad,"Li te di. “The scoring was bad. I knew what I was getting into by fighting in his backyard, but I definitely thought I won. I knocked him down. He never hurt me.”

 

The aggressive-minded Mendez came out patiently and allowed Freitas to throw the majority of the early punches. Mendez’ first meaningful punch of the fight was a paralyzing left hook to the body that put Freitas down and writhing in pain.

 

“I was surprised he didn’t take that body shot well, said Mendez, is who is trained by Joel Diaz. “I knew I hurt him, but I thought he’d get up. I saw that he wasn’t covering up very well so I knew I was going to land one eventually.”

 

“I was surprisingly nervous going into this fight. I was somewhat timid to start. I usually come out stronger, but it didn’t matter because we got the result that we wanted.”

 

“I’m pumped for the knockout win. I know it didn’t last long, but I hope the TV audience enjoyed it.”

 

Freitas controlled most of the round with his movement and sharper punching, but a savage hook to the body — his third connect to the body — left the Brazilian on the canvas long after the 10 konte.

 

“I messed up,’’ a tearful Jones Freitas said. “I paused at the wrong time and he hit me with the right punch. This means nothing to me. I’m going to keep working hard and training hard. Mwen vle yon rematch.”

QUOTES FINAL:

TARAS SHELESTYUK

 

“Herrera is a good fighter, a tough fighter. I know he has defeated some good fighters like Mike Jones, who was a top fighter who’d been off a couple years. But I’m 100 pousan pare. I expect a very tough and exciting fight but I expect to be much stronger and smarter.

 

“I’m excited for all the attention this fight and I are getting. I’ve always known that fans in America have known me but maybe now more than before. I think in the next year, I can become even more well-known.

 

“I’ve been working on strength and becoming more powerful. I think my boxing skills are already good, but my speed and power are better than before. I feel in sparring that I’m punching harder.

 

“I like to work the body. I like the fact you land enough of them early, they take a toll late. That’s one thing good about fighting as a pro. I feel good about my career; I hope to be fighting some of the best fighters in the division within a year.

 

“I’m sure Herrera will probably try and come at me; there’s no chance he can beat me at boxing. I like guys who come forward. They are good for me because I can counter and move side to side. And I’m ready to fight on the inside if necessary.

 

“I know I can improve on my last ShoBox batay. I made it closer than it should have been. If we had it over again I think I maybe stop him just because of what we’re been working on in the gym.

 

“Sparring with Shane Mosley has been huge for me. He’s such a great fighter. When I was younger, I’d watch his fights. Now we spar. He’s older but still very good. He knows all the tricks and gives me a lot of advice that helps me in and out of the ring. Everything he’s said to me, I’ve tried to apply.”

 

JIMMY HERRERA:

“I’ve been working a full two months for this fight so I’m ready. This is going to be a very good test for both of us, a great fight. He’s a good European boxer, another unbeaten for me. But I don’t feel like I’m coming in as the underdog at all. He’s got his strengths, I’ve got my strengths.

 

“There has to be a purpose for every punch. Each has to count. If he opens up and makes a mistake, I have to take advantage. I need to get him out of his rhythm early, force him out of his comfort zone and make him fight my fight.

 

“I’ll be the aggressor. But I’d love if he was the aggressor. I just think, menm si, knowing him, he’s going to try to box and win the rounds that way. I work all the time coming forward and that’s what I’ll do demen.

 

“A kid from Chicago, like me, it’s hard to get anywhere in boxing without connections, so finally after fighting so long without a manager, I signed with Cameron Dunkin. I always knew I could be a good boxer, but never figured I’d be a boxer. But look at me know, I’m fighting on SHOWTIME and this fight couldn’t be coming along at a better time.”

 

CONSTANTIN BEJENARU:

“I feel your amateur career gives you a good foundation, like a beginner, but once you turn pro it’s a total different game. It doesn’t matter who has more experience as an amateur. As professionals, we all have to do our jobs here.

 

“I don’t know Bujaj, but I saw his fight with Junior Wright so I know he is tough.

 

“I feel this is a big step for me. Li nan 16-0, a good fighter who can punch or box, and this is for a belt. This a good fight for both of us.

“I work hard for every fight and this was no exception. We know we have to pay attention to detail. This is a dangerous guy but I am very confident.

 

“I definitely don’t expect an easy fight. I have to press the action. I need to make him as uncomfortable as I can.

 

“I don’t have a lot of pro knockouts but boxing isn’t just about power. Boxing is intelligence and mental; it’s not just a street fight for me.

 

“This is my second fight on ShoBox. I’m so happy to be back again after that last win over Zubov. The goal is to keep busy, come back early next year and then sometime by next year be ready to fight for a major title of some type.’’

 

STEVE BUJAJ:

 

“I’m looking forward to this fight, my first on network TV, to see where I’m at. The way I feel, I’ve got everything to win, everything to lose. This either pushes me to the next level, or I stay where I’m at.

 

“I’m ready for any kind of fight. I’m a versatile fighter and I will have the height advantage.

 

“I feel ready now for the bigger fights, the additional exposure on SHOWTIME, the ratings, the titles, tout nan li. But I definitely will be even more after Vandredi.

 

“I don’t feel this is going 10 jij. I feel I’ll break him down and eventually stop him. I feel I’ve got the skills and definitely the heart. I’m healthy and ready to go.

 

“I saw his last fight on ShoBox, and thought it was pretty decent. He’s pretty short for a cruiserweight. Although we’re both from New York, I’d never heard of him before.

 

“Camp went awesome with lots of sparring. In Las Vegas. I trained with Mayweather fighters like Ronald Gavril, Badou Jack and Caleb Plant. It’s been four years since I’ve fought a left-hander but I do not consider it factor.’’

 

VITOR JONES FREITAS:

“I thank God and both my uncles for helping me get to where I am, for teaching me and for guiding me in every step of my life and in boxing. Without their influence and what they’ve done for me since I was 11, I feel I’d be dead today.

 

“I’m very excited about this fight and the opportunity to fight better guys. This for me is all about taking advantage of the opportunity.

 

“I’m getting more and more experience. My goal is to work hard and, like my Uncle Acelino, make good fights and become a world champion“

 

“We’ve studied Mendez’ fighting style and have a lot of respect for his trainer, Joel Diaz. I know Mendez is very strong and comes forward. I don’t know if he likes it when his opponents attack from the sides but I’m ready to fight him on the sides, head-on and toe-to-toe.”

 

MANUEL MENDEZ:

 

“This is my ninth fight with Joel and we know each other very well. Through the bad and good, he’s been there for me.

 

“I’m sure Freitas has confidence in his ability but like any other undefeated fighter he does well until he hits the wall, which is what Joel wants me to make him do. He wants me to punish him, take my time.

 

“I feel have I have natural power, can take a punch and have heart. Hit me as much as you want, but watch out once I connect and turn things around. My goal always is to break them down, starting with the body.

 

“I may not have the pedigree of some of these guys, but I’m learning defense, how to pace myself, staying poised and most importantly, just how to fight. The more experience, the more mature you become.

 

"Denmen I just want to be me and listen to Joel in the corner. I wouldn’t want to be standing in from of me. If he wants to stand and bang, Ann fèl. I guarantee he’s the one going back after the first few moments.”

CORONA, Kalifòni. (Nov. 2, 2016) — Undefeated ultra-confident cruiserweight Steve “Devni selèb” Bujaj (16-0-1, 11 Ko), of Westchester, N.Y., chimes in before his important 10-round bout with fellow unbeaten Constantin Bejenaru (11-0, 3 Ko, 0-1-1 in the World Series of Boxing), nan Brooklyn, N.Y., in the middle match of a ShoBox: The New Generation tripleheader this Vandredi, Nov. 4, from the Omega Products Event Center in Corona, Kalifòni.
Bujaj (pwononse “Boo-ha”), 26, has won four in a row, ki gen ladan de dènye l 'pa pentch, since boxing a split 10-round draw in a slugfest with then-undefeated three-time Chicago Golden Gloves champion Junior Wright (10-0) nan mwa me 2014. A two-time New York Golden Gloves champion, Bujah, who’ll be fighting on ShoBox the first time, is coming off a first-round TKO over previously undefeated Sergio Ramirez (11-0) sou Jen 11

Bejenaru (pwononse “bay-zhin-nah-ROO”) is making his second ShoBox start. In his debut last Avril 15, the native of Ungheni, Moldova, scored a unanimous eight-round decision over previously unbeaten Alexey Zubov (10-0), a former Russian amateur champion and seven-time European amateur champion. Southpaw Bejenaru boxed on the Romanian national team for 10 years and was a nine-time national champion.

Here is What Bujaj said:

What do you know about Bejenaru and what are your thoughts going in?

“I know he’s undefeated, 11-0 and a lefty, but I don’t believe he’s on my level. I think I’m a different class fighter and will be able to show it nan Vandredi.”

What kind of fight do you expect?

“I don’t really have any expectations. When I get in there, I make my adjustments, and then I start breaking him down.”

What is the key to winning? What are your advantages?

“My best advantage is my experience. I’ve fought 10 jij anvan. This is his first time. I believe that I’m more skilled than he is, and I believe that I have more heart and just think I have the edge all around.”

On fighting on ShoBox the first time?

“I’m very excited and grateful for the opportunity that has been given me. I’m ready to go out and perform and show the world what I’m all about — and that is being one of the top guys in the cruiserweight division.”

Your opinion on the cruiserweight division?

“The cruiserweight division is a good division with a lot of good fighters. I feel like it will get more exposure in the future because there are so many talented fighters and good fights that can happen. I’m looking forward to being a part some of the big fights and making some noise.”

What would a win on ShoBox mean to you?

“A win on SHOWTIME would be really huge, but mostly it would keep me going.”

Are they making a mistake fighting you?

“I don’t think he made a mistake, but I refuse to lose this fight. I’m gonna give it my all. He’s not on my level and I’m gonna prove it. I’m gonna fight my ass off.”

On his slugfest with former world title challenger Wright?
“I was winning the fight but I broke my jaw in the fourth round. I had a bad mouthpiece, a cheap one. I never knew mouthpieces needed to be fitted. The surgeon told me if I’d had a pro mouthpiece, I wouldn’t have had a problem.
“I still believe anybody else would have quit in that fight. I was in a lot of pain, I couldn’t close my mouth because the jaw was broke, I was spitting out blood. But I hung in there despite the jaw.

“I had him out on his feet in the last half-minute or so but the referee stopped the fight to give him time to tape up one of the laces on his glove. That gave him time to recover. If the ref hadn’t stopped it when he did, I feel I would have knocked him out.”

On his career?

“I had to work hard for my career. I don’t have a padded record. I do not have it as easy as most in their career. I don’t have a big-time promoter, and I’m not pampered. I’ve fought tough guys throughout my career but I’ve learned a lot and have no regrets. But I feel it’s time for me to step up. After I win Vandredi sou ShoBox, a lot of doors should start opening up me.”
New Nickname?

“I’ve been known as ‘Superman’my whole career but I’m thinking of changing it to “Steel.” The Wright fight proved a lot of me, and I learned a lot. Mwen pa t 'kite fimen. I’m very tough and strong-minded, made of ‘steel.'”

Mendez, who is trained by the well-regarded Joel Diaz, is putting the finishing touches on a training camp that saw him spar against former world champions Victor Ortiz, Ruslan Provodnikov and elite prospect Vergil Ortiz.

Thompson Boxing caught up with the 26-year-old slugger from Indio, Kalifòni. and got his take on Vandredi sa a ShoBox fight.

(On your first time fighting in front of a nationally televised audience) ...

“Li se yon gwo opòtinite. I always push myself to the limits and this fight is no different. I have a fan-friendly style that the SHOWTIME audience is going to love.”

(On paper your fight against Freitas appears evenly matched, but most are giving the upper hand to your opponent) …

“I’ve always been the underdog all my life so this is another shot to prove myself. Freitas has a famous name, but that’s about it. He hasn’t faced anyone that approaches my ability.”

(On what you expect from Freitas) …

“The first few rounds will go a long way in knowing what he has. From watching tape, it seems like he has speed, but the most important thing is gauging his power. I can take a punch so once I feel him connect with something, then I’ll know what he has to offer.”

(On your relationship with Joel Diaz) …

“We have an excellent relationship. He’s incredibly helpful in that I’ve seen a great deal of improvement since I’ve been with him. Everything is better. My conditioning, head movement, foutvork; I’ve improved in a lot of areas. He’s a great teacher.”

(How would you describe your style for those that have yet to see you fight?) ...

“I’m a smart boxer that pressures fighters into making mistakes. I have all the tools needed to wear down opponents. You’ll always see me in front of you to the point where you get annoyed and start making mental errors. That’s when I put the hurt on you.”

Chicago Welterweight Looks to Defeat Another Unbeaten Boxer When He Faces Taras Shelestyuk in Main Event Of ShoBox: New Generation Tripleheader a, Sa a Vandredi, Nov. 4, Live on SHOWTIME®

Kite yon kòmantè
NEW YORK (Nov. 1, 2016) – Jimmy “Verite a” Herrera is accustomed to entering the ring as an underdog. The Chicago native is experienced in fighting favored prospects and contenders on the road and has had an inordinate success in these types of matchups, having defeated unbeaten prospects in four of his last nine fights.

So don’t expect Herrera (15-3-1, 8 Ko) to be in awe of his opponent, former Ukraine amateur standout and rising star, Taras Shelestyuk (14-0, 9 Ko) when they meet this Vandredi, Nov. 4, in the 10-round welterweight main event on ShoBox: New Generation aap viv sou SHOWTIME® (10:30 p.m. AK/PT, reta nan Kòt Lwès la) nan Omega Products Event Center nan Crown, Kalifòni.

The 5-foot-10, 27-year-old Herrera has won three in a row and is 8-1-1 since dropping a close eight-round decision to Adrian Granados nan mwa fevriye 2012. One of those victories was an upset seventh-round TKO over one-time highly ranked welterweight and world title challenger Mike “Machin zam” Jones on Aug. 23, 2014.

Herrera is promoted by Hitz Boxing and co-managed by Cameron Dunkin and Mike Cericola.

Here are Herrera’s responses to a recent Q&Yon:

What are your thoughts going into your ShoBox debut?
“Mwen toujou moute pou yon defi, so I’m really excited about this opportunity. I’m definitely ready to compete against another undefeated fighter. I’m coming to show my skills to the world and prove I’m a boxer you have to pay attention to.

“At this point of my career, I want to make a move fast while I’m young. I don’t just want to be a guy with a nice record. I truly believe in my skills and that I can reach the highest level.

“I’ve been getting great help with sparring with the best of the best in Chicago. Sam Okolona, George Hernandez and all the Chicago boxing coaches have been great mentors to me and I am very thankful.”

What do you know about Shelestyuk?
“He was a great amateur fighter and he’s a lefty. That’s pretty much all I need to know. The only thing I can give him is that he has experience, so I’ve got to be careful of that. But it’s nothing new – I’ve seen fighters like that.”

What kind of fight do you expect?
“I expect him to be a boxer with movement. I think he’ll try to box me. I’ll be coming forward, being aggressive. Lè sa a,, we’ll see what his game plan is.”

What is the key to winning?
“It all depends on the pressure I can apply, throwing the right punches at the right time, the accuracy of my punches. Each punch has to have a purpose. I’m definitely more of a pressure guy. I like Gennady Golovkin’s style, Julio Cesar Chavez is my idol. That is the kind of style I try to fight with.”

On fighting on ShoBox for the first time?
“I’m definitely excited because I know a lot of people will be watching. Mwen pa nève nan tout. The cameras, the bright lights, onètman, I don’t care about. My focus is totally on this fight. This is the type of fight that can open a lot of doors for me.”

Is this your biggest fight and do you feel pressure?
“Wi, definitivman, this is my biggest fight — just for all the doors a win would open for me, all the possibilities. There’s no pressure on me. He’s the one representing his country with the weight on his shoulders. I’ve lost before, but that doesn’t make me an opponent.”

Are they making a mistake fighting you??
“I feel like they are making a mistake, but I also feel this is going to be a good test for him. I think Taras took the fight more for himself. But if he doesn’t know now about me, he’s going to find out.”

You boxed amateurs for one year and had 25 bout. Li te gen yon 2012 Olympic Bronze Medalist with a boatload of amateur accomplishments. How significant is the experience of fighting amateur?
“Pèsonèlman, m ', the amateurs are not that important at all. It’s all irrelevant once you go pro. I know some great amateur boxers who made it after turning pro, and some who didn’t. It’s a whole different ballgame. As a pro, I believe I’ve fought better guys than he has. I’ve been tested way more than he has. You can’t take away what he did as an amateur, but fighting with the smaller gloves, with no headgear, is totally different.”

Undefeated cruiserweights Constantin Bejenaru (11-0, 4 Ko, 0-1-1 nan mond seri de Bòks), of Catskill, N.Y.. by way of Moldova, ak Steve “Devni selèb” Bujaj (16-0-1, 11 Ko), nan New York, will collide in a 10-rounder for the vacant WBC International WBC Continental Americas titles in the co-feature.

NEW YORK (Oct. 31, 2016) – Promising unbeaten 2012 Olympic jwèt Bwonz medaye Taras "Imobilye Deal" Shelestyuk (14-0, 9 Ko) will make his main event debut when he faces upset-minded Jimmy Herrera in the 10-round featured attraction of a ShoBox: New Generation a tripleheader this Fridaak, Nov. 4, ap viv sou Chotim nan 10:30 p.m. AK/PT (reta nan Kòt Lwès la) soti nan Omega Products International Event Center nan Corona, Kalifòni.

 

A 5-foot-10 up-and-coming rising star, Shelestyuk, nan Los Angeles, is ranked No. 9 pa WBO a ak Pa gen. 13 nan WBA a. Shelestyuk, who is making his second ShoBox start, mwayenn 85 punches a round en route to winning his ShoBox debut with a 10-round division over Aslanbek Kozak sou Nov. 6, 2015.

 

The dedicated, hard-working Shelestyuk, who is trained by Eric Brown and spars a few days a week with former world champion Shane Mosley, at Wild Card West in Santa Monica, Kalifòni., possesses solid skills, mouvman ak pwensonaj pouvwa.

 

Shelestyuk was a member of a vaunted 2012 Ukrainian Olympic team that included featherweight gold medalist Vasyl Lomachenko and heavyweight gold medalist Oleksandr Usyk. The 30-year-old feels he’s still about a year away from competing against the best at 147 pounds and that he first must get by Herrera. But Mosley claims Shelestyuk reminds him of a bigger Lomachencko and believes he’s already ready for the top names in the welterweight division.

 

Herrera (15-3-1, 8 Ko), nan Chicago, Malad., has defeated unbeaten prospects in four of last nine fights and is 8-1-1 overall since July 2012.

 

Shelestyuk, Brown and Mosley spoke to SHOWTIME after a recent workout. Here’s what they said:

 

TARAS SHELESTYUK:

What are your thoughts going into the fight?
“I’m very excited. It’s been six months since my last fight. It’s my first headline fight and hopefully not my last one.

 

“I’ve been putting in a lot of work in my training camp with my trainer Eric Brown, and with my physical conditioning coach. My opponent is a tough fighter. He’s had some good fights with guys like Mike Jones, Egidijus Kavaliauskas and a couple of other big guys. He likes to fight and I think it will be a good fight and a good matchup for our styles.”

 

You’re now a ranked fighter; are you happy with the pace of your progression?

“I’m happy with my progression but of course I want to fight bigger names in championship fights and all of that. I know it’s coming soon. I enjoy my way of training and developing my skills, but if you see your dream you do anything to reach it and don’t let anything get in your way.’’

 

What do you think of the welterweight division?

“It’s a very good division because there are a lot of fighters, but some don’t want to fight each other (very often). There are some very good championship fights to be made and hopefully I will be one of them.”

 

Why did you chose to move to Southern California?

“Well, [ri] mainly because if the great weather, but this is also a good area with a lot of good fighters and a lot of good trainers as well. When I first moved here my manager invited me out and showed me around and I got in the gym right away. I was training with Ruslan Provodnikov and got some sparring in with him before a fight that he had and next thing you know, two weeks later I had my pro debut and now three-and-a-half years later here I am.’’

 

Is there pressure on you when you fight?

“I wouldn’t say I feel pressure because everyone around me is supporting me, they believe in me and I believe in them. My team believes in me and I trust them. I just want to do what I do in the ring, pi bon. I want to do better for me, for my family and for my friends.’’

 

Do you follow your Olympic teammates?

“I watch fights of the Ukrainian Olympic Team, and I enjoy when the other guys win. We support each other and we call each other. It is good for there to be more Ukraine fighters who are champions now. Ane pwochèn, I hope to be one of them.”

 

How did it feel going 10 jij la pou premye fwa?

“Last year in November I had my first 10-round fight on ShoBox, I fought with a strong guy and he gave me a very good fight. I went the 10 rounds and I felt like I could still go two more. I am ready for 10, pou 12, li pa gen pwoblèm. I feel much better, much more powerful. I have more speed than I had in my last fight, tou. "

 

How did you end up training with Eric?

“I trained with Freddie Roach for about two and a half years when I met Eric at Wild Card West Gym. I started sparring with some of his guys there. After my fight with Rodriguez on ESPN in 2015 I asked Eric to train me and we started working. Now that I’ve fought two fights with him as my trainer, I feel my boxing skills are better, I feel more powerful and I enjoy training in his gym.

 

“All of the trainers help us and they give us advice. On the days I spar with Shane Mosley he stops and gives me some advice. I learn a lot from him, being the fighting legend that he is. I grew up watching him fight as a kid and respect what he’s able to teach me. Then the next time I try what he has taught me and it works.”

 

Boxing is in your blood; your dad and brother boxed. When you were younger, did you think you were going to become a fighter?

"Èske pa, but my father pushed me in a lot of sports. I did gymnastics, soccer for five years, and played chess. I fought as a kid but it was always friendly. I always enjoyed the training aspect. To train for soccer sometimes my father and I would run barefoot in the snow and I enjoyed it. Se konsa,, as a kid, when I first stepped into the boxing gym, it was just so much fun.’’

Your ShoBox fight falls on your father’s birthday; do you have a special present in mind for him?

“It makes me want to get the victory for him. On his day, he will be sitting and watching my fight so I want to get that victory for him, for my family and for the Ukraine.’’

 

ERIC BROWN, Shelestyuk’s trainer

What kind of camp has Taras had has had and what do you see happening nan Vandredi?

“I see a lot of progression in Taras. When we first started working together, one of the things was that Taras always had great boxing ability, but he wasn’t a great finisher. I don’t know if he was gun shy or what it was but he had a tendency of using his talent to get people in trouble but then he would stand back and let them get back in the fight. Se konsa,, what we’ve been working on a lot more is getting him to become a better finisher and recognize when he has his man in trouble and how to seize the moment, without being reckless at the same time. He’s improving at a fast pace.

 

“A lot of guys from Ukraine seem to have similar tendencies because they have long amateur careers and they start picking up bad habits that we need to correct. Taras had a little bit of that in him but he seems to be making the adjustments very well. He’s an extremely hard worker and you often have to tell him to slow down, you never have to tell him to do more.”

 

Where do you see him in his career as a welterweight?

“It’s a great division. I’d say that Keith Thurman tops it without a doubt now but there are good fighters like Shawn Porter too. If Mayweather decided to come back, I think he would be all over this division again. Canelo is a good super welterweight, but he’s too busy worrying about catch-weights. Undoubtedly in another year, I think Taras will be right there with the best of them. He’s got a lot of talent, great versatility, great hand speed and foot speed and he’s a good puncher. Not a devastating knockout puncher but a great puncher nonetheless with both hands.’’

 

SHANE MOSLEY, Ansyen chanpyon Mondyal

How has it been working with Taras and how did you become involved in his training?

“I have been sparring with Taras and he’s looking really sharp. I’ve been sparring with him for about four or five months now pretty consistently because a lot of guys won’t spar with him. Guys are worried that he will make them look bad; he’s so technical and sharp that they don’t want to spar with him. Se konsa,, I go in there with him a lot. It’s hard to get people to spar with him.’’

 

Where do you see him in the welterweight division?

“He’s on that championship path, that level, but I think once he gets there, he’ll get more sparring partners and will get even better. He really is a world champion, a world-class fighter. He reminds me of a bigger Lomachenko, sparring with him is just like that. I see him as a top welterweight champion. The way he throws his combinations, he’s a smart boxer who works out very hard. He’s at the gym every single day, whether he’s sparring or not, whether he has some training to do or not. He’ll even be here by himself just moving around and staying sharp. His work ethic is really, vrèman fò.

 

How do you like working with Taras?

“I like Taras and I enjoy working with him. He’s extremely dedicated and that’s hard to find. I like Taras’ work ethic, his personality, how he takes to boxing. He loves this sport and he wants to be the best. He doesn’t like to lose, even in sparring. I’m impressed with him. When I sparred with him for the first time I was very impressed at his swing, his power, his ring accuracy, his IQ of boxing. I was impressed with how hard he worked and his willingness to learn.’’

 

Do you find it unusual for guys to be as dedicated as Taras at this point in their careers?

“It’s unusual in the sense that a lot of fighters want to learn from the top guys but it seems to me with Taras that it’s not fake. He truly does want to learn about boxing so that he can be the best. He wants to become a world champion and is working to become one of the best. If you put Taras in the ring with any big name today and I’d say he would take the victory. He has a sound mind. He has the mentality to be at the top. He’s serious about being the world champion, about being the top fighter. He’s serious about winning and he’s going to take it all the way to the end. If you put this guy against Thurman, I’d go with him. I think he beats Thurman right now.’’

"Antoine Douglas se egzanp pafè a nan ki sa nou fè nan nan ShoBox seri. Nou bati avyon de gè. Nou devlope yo soti nan pwospè yo konkiran,"Te di Gordon Hall, Egzekitif Pwodiktè nan ShoBox: New Generation a ak Senior Vis Prezidan an Pwodiksyon, Chotim Espò. "Nou te wè Antoine grandi. Li te kòmanse kòm yon pwospè pwomèt, epi nou matche l 'vrèman difisil ak chak ak chak fwa li te fè mete kanpe nan travay la. Aswè a, li gradye nan ShoBox ak yon pèfòmans espektakilè; pa gen okenn dout li se kounye a yon contender. "

 

"Nou te resevwa sa Antoine Douglas nesesè: Kalite a nan pèfòmans nèt dominan ki fè ou vle wè l 'goumen kont middleweights yo pi byen. Aswè a te gradyasyon Antoine a soti nan ShoBox. Koulye a, li pral deplase jiska pi gwo ak pi bon bagay,” di ShoBoxekspè analis Steve Farhood apre sa:

 

Douglas te ale 10 jij pou yon dezyèm fwa nan ak upped tras genyen l 'nan senk depi boksè yon trase nan mwa Jiyè 2014.

 

"Yo te di jou gradyasyon mwen sa a te, tan pou yon bouchon ak ròb, kidonk sa a te definitivman yon gwo genyen,'' Te di Douglas, yon amatè tèt ki te fè l 'bay la 2011 U.S. Esè Olympic e li te nevyèm-klase contender WBA a pral nan. "Se te yon gwo eksperyans batay souShoBox ak mwen apresye tout bagay yo te fè pou m 'resevwa m' pare ale nan yon nivo pwochen. Koulye a,, li lè pou mwen pou m pran pwochen etap la.

 

"Mwen espere pou pou genyen, pwobableman pa pentch, men mwen pa t 'atann li nan dwe fason sa a. Mwen espere yo dwe pi di Sherrington, plis prepare. Mwen panse ke m 'te koutpwen kle a. Li mete l 'moute pou tout vaksen yo gwo mwen te ateri ak men dwat mwen y'ap kite zen.

 

"Mwen te konnen mwen ta dwe pi vit pase l '. Mwen te trè prepare. Youn bon bagay mwen se kontan sou ki jan mwen te kenbe serenite mwen. ''

 

Sherrington, ki moun ki te batay deyò nan Ostrali ak fè l 'US. ak 2015 debu, te vini nan li te gen te genyen uit nan dènye nèf batay l ', ki gen ladan l 'pè dènye. Men, WBA a Pa gen. 12 contender te gen okenn matche ak pou Douglas.

 

"Antoine Douglas se trè bon epi li pral ale nan bagay sa yo reyèlman gwo nan sa a espò,'' Te di Sherrington.

 

"Mwen pa fè eskiz, men mwen te lè w konjele epi li ka pa janm reyèlman chofe. Lè sa a, li mete men sou mwen frèt. Mwen te vin isit la yo rive jwenn yon rèv dire tout lavi m 'yo men li pa te vle di yo dwe. Mwen te resevwa akeyi nan lig yo gwo nan yon gwo prese ak nan fason ki pi mal la. Tout kredi ale nan Douglas pou sa. ''

 

Farhood te enpresyone ak Shelestyuk, yon ansyen exceptionnelles amatè. "[Terrace] Shelestyuk te sanble ak avyon de gè a pi ki gen matirite sou kat la,'' Farhood di. "Li gen yon bèl bagay jeneyalojik amatè, li te yon Olympic medaye Bwonz. Li t'ap goumen yon avyon de gè ki te fè l 'goumen' voye jete yon anpil nan pwenson — li mwayenn 85 pwenson yon wonn. Li domine batay la soti nan premye tou an sou yo ak sou li te sanble ak avyon de gè a mond-klas ke li te devlope yo dwe.”

 

Shelestyuk itilize avantaj wotè 3 ½-pous l 'yo domine jwèt la, men surklase Kozaev. "Sa a te batay la byen mennen pou mwen. M kontan anpil. Mwen te genyen premye pro tit mwen, te ale 10 jij la pou premye fwa te genyen ak tout jij yo,'' Te di Shelestyuk.

 

"Nèg la te yon advèsè super difisil. Mwen te panse mwen te ale nan frape l 'soti nan yon kèk nan jij yo, men li te pran tout pwenson difisil mwen. Li te yon vanyan sòlda ak te gen yon anpil plis eksperyans pase m '.' '

 

Kozaev, fè premye kòmansman li nan 18 mwa, te kòmanse vit, men te resevwa outhustled ak outworked soti nan wonn, dezyèm lan sou. "Li se yon avyon de gè byen ak sa ki mwen te bay pi byen m ', men yo pa goumen pou sa yo yon bon bout tan te yon gwo faktè,'' Li te di.

 

Smith bat yon koupe anbarasan sou je a bò gòch nan yon headbutt envolontè nan sizyèm a, men tounen vin jwenn nòt yon knockdown nan setyèm lan. Li batay pa nòt yo nan 79-73 ak 78-74 de fwa.

 

"Keenan Smith bat yon koupe trè move pou pou genyen sa a batay,'' Farhood di. "Li te bay nòt yon knockdown ki te inatandi byen ta nan batay la. Mwen te panse ke li te yon batay trè pre, men Smith te fè ase nan jij yo byen bonè pou pou genyen. Li se definitivman yon pwospè ki pral jwenn pi bon.”

 

Smith te goumen pou tan katriyèm nan ane sa a apre yon lakun twa ane. Li te pi piti pase trè chofe osijè done apre sa. "Sa a te yon kan ki graj pou m '. Manman m 'te mouri. Mwen dedye sa a batay l 'ak reyèlman te vle jwenn pentch a,'' Te di Smith ki te mete kalson tout-woz nan onè li.

 

"Mwen pa tout sa ki kontan paske mwen te santi mwen te kapab rive nan bout li menm si zepòl gòch mwen te blese ak mwen pa t ' 100 pousan. Mwen menm mwen te pa t 'kapab wè anpil nan tout soti nan je m' apre koupe a.

 

"Men, aswè a, li te tankou yon wèltèr goumen yon wèltèr jinyò. Mwen te peze nan nan 141 epi li te nan 147. Men, ale uit jij la pou premye fwa te definitivman yon bon bagay. Mwen jis santi tankou mwen ta dwe rive nan bout pi fò. Move tan an pa t 'yon pwoblèm.' '

 

Whitaker te gen yon twa-batay genyen fen tras. "Ki fè nòt la te fason koupe. Se te yon batay anpil pi pre pase sa,'' Li te di. "Mwen pa konprann ki jan li te kapab jwenn te avèti batay la antye pou kenbe, men pa janm jwenn yon pwen wete. Knockdown a pa t 'menm yon knockdown. Li te plis nan yon vwayaj. Ref la mande m 'si mwen te kapab kontinye e mwen te tankou, 'Mwen pa te menm fè mal, pa menm wobbled yon ti kras. '

 

"Mwen ta renmen al goumen l 'ankò.' '

 

Teah te genyen bout la ouvèti ki nan yon difuze nan pa nòt yo nan 79-73 ak 77-75 de fwa. "Sa a te yon fache,'' Farhood di. "Teah bat yon avyon de gè ki te yon amatè difisil. Pwoblèm nan pou O'Shaquie Foster se ke li te sanble ak yon amatè. Li pa t 'abitye ak jwèt la pro. Li pa t 'montre ase fòs ak detèminasyon ase. Li te gen yon desepsyon ak [Am] Teah te pran avantaj de sa.”

Travay 10 èdtan nan yon jounen peye koupe pou m '.

Si yon moun nan uit bokseur yo te jele anba limyè yo klere li te Foster. "Pou kèk rezon mwen jis pa t 'tèt mwen nan la,'' Yon Foster visible wont di. "Mwen te kapab te fè pou pi plis, men mwen jis pa t 'voye jete ase pwenson. Li lè pou mwen pou m regwoupe epi pou yo jwenn li ansanm pou tan kap vini an. ''
