2016 La médaillée d'argent olympique SHAKHRAM GIYASOV arrive aux États-Unis. pour démarrer une carrière professionnelle
LAS VEGAS, Nevada (Décembre 18, 2017) – Superstar ouzbek et 2016 Médaillé d'argent olympique, Shakhram Giyasov, a atterri aux États-Unis, et s'installera à Las Vegas, Nevada, pour débuter sa carrière pro. En tant que professionnel, Giyasov fera campagne dans la division poids welter, où il était un amateur sensationnel.
À l'âge 24, Giyasov qui mesure 5’9″, est l'un des boxeurs les plus talentueux à entrer dans les rangs professionnels de la dernière décennie. L'été dernier à Hambourg, Allemagne, le droitier Giyasov a remporté l'or (Welterweight) au 2017 Association Internationale de Boxe (AIBA) Championnats du monde. Victoire de Giyasov en finale contre Cuba Roniel Iglesias, la 2012 Médaillé d'or olympique, personne n’a été surpris, comme l'Ouzbékistan était le #1 graines entrant dans le tournoi. Shakhram a été élu meilleur boxeur du tournoi par ses pairs, gagnant 56% du sondage en ligne de l'AIBA.
“Je suis arrivé aux États-Unis d'Amérique et j'ai l'intention de m'établir comme le prochain grand champion d'Ouzbékistan,” dit Shakhram Giyasov. “Mon objectif est de conquérir la division des poids welters et de devenir un champion livre pour livre. Je fixe mes objectifs parce que je crois en moi et en l’équipe que j’ai mise autour de moi. Ensemble, nous irons au sommet.”
Giyasov, qui est une méga-star dans son pays natal, l'Ouzbékistan, est géré par Ruslan Khusinov, un agent sportif international lié à certains des meilleurs boxeurs amateurs du monde. Son raisonnement pour amener Giyasov aux lumières vives de Las Vegas était facile, établir sa marque dans la Mecque de la boxe professionnelle.
“Nous sommes très heureux de notre décision d'amener Shakhram Giyasov à Las Vegas,” dit Ruslan Khusinov. “Tout le monde reconnaît Las Vegas comme la Mecque de la boxe et c'est là que nous voulons construire notre fondation. J'ai de grands projets pour faire de Giyasov une super-star ici aux États-Unis, tout comme à la maison où sa popularité est indéniable.”
Entraînement Giyasov, sera Justin Gamber, qui guide le coin du candidat au classement mondial invaincu, Caleb “Mains douces” Usine (16-0, 10 KOs). Gamber pense que Giyasov peut sauter sur la voie rapide vers un titre mondial.
“Dans le jeu de boxe d'aujourd'hui, vous avez de nombreux boxeurs avec un pedigree amateur élevé, se battre pour un titre mondial avant leur 15e combat pro,” Justin Gamber a déclaré. “Je crois que Giyasov correspond à ce moule. Je peux le voir se battre pour un titre mondial au début de sa carrière.”
Jose Haro fighting for a break in 2018
 WEST JORDAN, Utah (Décembre 18, 2017) – United States Boxing Association (USBA) champion poids plume Jose “Pepito” Haro (14-1-1, 8 KOs) is suffering from unfair blowback for the accidental role he played this past summer, in which his opponent, Daniel Franco, nearly died from injuries resulting from their nationally televised fight in Idaho.
Le 3-2 underdog Haro, fighting out of West Jordan, Utah, dropped Franco with a chopping right in the eighth round, soon followed by a crisp combination of devastating punches, which resulted in a knockout victory and the USBA title for Haro.
Malheureusement, Franco (16-2-3, 11 KOs) was sent to Mercy Medical Hospital, where he underwent two brain surgeries to relieve pressure caused by brain bleeds. He came out of a medically induced coma and, fortunately, Franco continues to recover at home in California from what his father/trainer, Al Franco, has described as a miracle.
“I can’t forget it,” Haro said about his last fight. “It’s been traumatic. I’m very happy Franco is recovering but, every time something comes up about him on social media, a lot of people tag me. I don’t answer, I just need to deal with it. My victory was taken away, I couldn’t enjoy it. I fought a clean fight, but some people blame me for what happened.”
Haro hasn’t fought since that fateful night in Iowa last June. Whitfield Haydon, who serves as Haro’s agent, is a veteran Southern California matchmaker, peut-être, best known for discovering under-the-radar boxing talent such as Haro. It appeared that Haro was finally going to catch a big break in late October, when Haydon was contacted about a non-mandatory title fight for Haro with International World Boxing (IBF) Champion du monde poids plume “Foudre” Lee Selby (26-1, 9 KOs). The Selby vs. Haro world title fight contract was reportedly being drawn up and Team Haro had agreed to promotional options in the event of him winning. Suddenly, bien que, communications with Team Selby went dark. Team Haro later learned that Selby had gone in another direction, Eduardo Ramirez, who Selby defeated by way of a 12-round unanimous decision December 9 à Londres.
“We were going to London for short money because the world title shot was worth it,” Haydon explained. “Haro would have been one helluva live dog in that fight. I must not have been the only one thinking that way. I’ve been hearing that, within the boxing industry, Haro has become a hot potato after his Franco fight. How ridiculous is this? Last time I checked, Haro’s a featherweight who’s also capable of fighting at junior lightweight or super lightweight. My phone has been silent, bien que, other than for a late notice fight or a fight at lightweight. Boxing sometimes eats its own. This is a joke.”
Haro, who was a member of the USA Junior Olympic Boxing Team during his amateur days, isn’t 100-percent sure why he’s not being offered good fights, but he does blame most of it on boxing politics.
“After the Franco fight,” Haro remarked, “I feel like I’ve been benched. I think I’m not getting good fights is because I’m a high risk, no reward fighter. I’m depressed right now about it. I love boxing but, Je suis 30 with a wife and five kids. Boxing politics is the reason!”
Boxing is the most unforgiving sport, boxers risk their lives every time they walk up the three steps into the ring. The aftereffects of a boxing tragedy like this is traumatic for all parties involved. Nobody knows that better than the 30-year-old Haro.
Ranked No. 15 dans le monde par l'IBF, Haro works fulltime for Pepsi, putting product on shelves at supermarkets in Utah. The father of three girls and two boys, the hard-working Mexican-American starts at 3 a.m. and works until 12 midi, then goes home to watch his children because his wife, Yesenia, also needs to work to make ends meet.
 Haro has overcome so many obstacles during his career that some refer to him as, “Hard Luck Haro.” In addition to repercussions from the Franco fight, de retour 2015, he was shot in both feet (see accompanying picture) in a parking lot after shopping by a stranger for no apparent reason. Haro noted, “I was tainted by that because only bad guys get shot, droit?”Losing the opportunity to fight in his world title fight against Selby was another example of what Haro’s been facing the past six months. “I’m not much of a talker,” il a admis, “but I won’t be used for leverage. I won’t’ be used as piece of meat. I’m not taking a fight just for the money, I’m going in the ring to give it my all to win for me, my family and team.
“I’m riding this out (boxing career) for my wife and children. I’m teaching my kids to never give up and to continue working hard no matter what life may throw you. It’s been rough. We’ve had our ups and downs, but I have to continue working until, avec optimisme, I get a big payday.”
For Haro and Haydon, they’re both due for a big break in 2018.

Voici ce que les participants à la conférence de presse ont à dire Lundi de la Conga Room à L.Un. En direct:
Mikey GARCIA
“A world champion like Sergey Lipinets is more exciting an opponent for me than an easy title defense. I wanted a challenge and this man presents that. He’s a bigger man naturally. He’s going to be very hungry and motivated. He knows a victory over me launches his career to the top. That’s going to make this an interesting fight.
“To win a world title in a fourth division is a big deal to me. My dad always wanted a three-division world champion, and now I have a chance to give him a fourth title. That’s something that really excites me.
“It’s been a great return to boxing since my layoff. When I came back, I wanted to move fast and take on big challenges. That’s what we’ve been doing so far. I want to take on any challenges that people think I can’t achieve. I think slowly we’re proving to everyone that I’m better than ever and I’m going to keep taking on the kinds of fights that will cement my legacy.
“It would be a great accomplishment to be in the discussion with guys like Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez, that would be a win in itself. But it wasn’t on my mind when taking this fight. I just want to keep fighting the best out there. There’s still more for me to accomplish until I’m on the same level as Pacquiao and Marquez.
« Ça va être un grand combat. Like I’ve said, the challenge for me is that I’ll be fighting the bigger man. La nuit de combat, that advantage he has on me might be enough to make it that much more exciting. It will be interesting to see how well I adapt to the size. I have to make adjustments to overcome those challenges. This should give the fans the excitement that we want to give them.
“My only focus is on Février 10 against Sergey Lipinets. That’s my target throughout the entire camp. There may be more opportunities for me on the horizon, but you’ll see on fight night that I’m one hundred percent focused.
“I know that I have the possibility to be the biggest star in boxing like a Floyd Mayweather, and I think I’m on track to accomplish that. I don’t see a lot of guys in the sport with the resume of accomplishments that I have. I’m going to continue take on the best and beat my opponents convincingly.”
SERGEY LIPINETS
“Mikey Garcia is a great champion and I want to be in the position that he’s reached in this sport. The only way there is to go through him.
“I’m taking on a great challenge against Mikey Garcia, and many people think I’m not ready. This is the fight that I wanted. I’ve had many obstacles in my way throughout my career and I’ve overcome them all. I’m going to overcome Mikey Garcia just like that.
“Every time I have sparred with top fighters, like Terrence Crawford, I have learned more about what I need to improve to get to the next level in this sport. That kind of experience has helped my confidence increase and will help me when I face Mikey Garcia.
“A lot of things can happen when you move up in weight. Usually people use some pop. Whatever version of Mikey Garcia shows up; je serai prêt pour lui.
“I believe I’m going to win, Mikey believes he’s going to win, and it will all unveil in the ring. One thing I can guarantee; ça va être un grand combat.
“Every fight I’ve had has been against a tough opponent who has helped get me to this point. Maintenant, I’m ready to fight the best, and Mikey Garcia is truly that.
“I had to work very hard to make the transition from champion kickboxer to a champion boxer. I did everything I had to do, moving from gym to gym and sparring everyone. I always aimed for the best and wanted to be the best at what I do.”
ROBERT GARCIA, Mikey’s Brother & Entraîneur
“We know that Sergey Lipinets is a very dangerous fighter. He’s a really strong champion. I know he’s going to be hungry because he wants to become a big name by beating Mikey.
“Mikey is very smart in the ring. We’re going to come in there with a good game plan. We’ll have some big sparring partners. Strong, heavy guys who will give Mikey a big challenge in sparring.
“Mikey has to be in great shape for this fight. You can easily win the first eight rounds, but there are still four left. You have to be able to finish the fight. A great power puncher like Lipinets can finish you in one round.”
BUDDY MCGIRT, Lipinets’ Trainer
“We will be prepared for any and every thing. This way, when fight night comes, we’ll have an answer for everything. The key is that we just have to be on point from the opening bell to the end. There’s no way around it.
“We’re going to cover everything in training camp. You have to have every option available to you on fight night. This way, you’re never surprised in the ring. Sergey won’t go in there swinging to get a knockout, he’s going to be disciplined and focus on getting the victory.
“I believe that Sergey is on a mission. I know Mikey Garcia is on a mission too, and I respect that. I respect that these two men are fighting each other. Champions do what Sergey is doing, and that’s fighting the best.”
RICHARD SCHAEFER, Président & PDG de Sport Ringstar
“This is going to be a huge night for the 140-pound division. It will be another toe-to-toe showdown at the Alamodome in San Antonio, where so many great matchups have taken place before. Billets à partir de seulement $20 so we expect another great crowd of fight fans down in Texas.
“This matchup features two undefeated fighters, two big punchers and 50 victoires, 40 par KO, between the two of them. These guys are both champions who are daring to be great. These are exactly the kind of fighters that the public likes. These fighters will push themselves to be great.
“These guys only know one thing, and that is winning. Sergey Lipinets is the biggest puncher at 140-pounds and it seems like Mikey Garcia always seeks out these big punchers.
“Mikey is looking to do something that only Manny Paccquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez have done, in moving up from 126 pounds through 140 pounds winning titles at each division. It is very difficult to carry that power up from featherweight. You have to tune-in to see an exciting fighter like that trying to make history.”
STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Vice-président exécutif & Directeur Général, Sports Showtime
“What boxing needs are great fights. Bon, high quality matchups like Leo Santa Cruz vs. Carl Frampton, Keith Thurman vs. Danny Garcia and Errol Spence vs. Kell Brook. There needs consistently be good fights, and that’s what we have been doing at SHOWTIME for the last couple of years. No other network has done the quality of fights that SHOWTIME is doing. No other network is as committed to the sport as SHOWTIME has been.
“The best need to fight the best, and that is what Mikey Garcia has done. He came off of a two-and-a-half-year layoff and en 18 mois he’s had four fights, two title fights and will be going for a title in a fourth weight class, something only Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez have done before. That’s what great fighters do.
“Historically the fighters who separate themselves as legendary, are the ones who challenge themselves and travel across weight classes to seek these challenges. But there are two sides to this story. Those who have been paying attention have seen Sergey Lipinets make a lot of noise on SHOWTIME cards lately. He has risen very quickly.
“If you just look at Lipinets’ record, 13-0, and think about him fighting Mikey Garcia it would sound crazy. But if you look at the kind of competition he’s faced, his last seven opponents have a combined record of 163-15. That’s not something you usually see 13 fights into a career. Lipinets is a combat veteran, and whatever happens in the ring, he will be ready for it. It’s going to make for an exciting night.”

Selina Barrios contre. Lisa Porter NABF Titre léger sur la ligne
SAN ANTONIO, TX (Décembre 18, 2017) – Les deux boxeuses les plus évitées’ dans le pays sont sur le point de s'affronter, dans ce qui semble être une guerre totale, quand sensation invaincue, léger Selina “Reine aztèque” Quartiers, affronte le dangereux “Charmant” Lisa Porter.
Sur la ligne sera le NABF titre léger, car les deux combattants ont été autorisés par le comité NABF à se battre pour cette ceinture respectée. Le combat de 10 rounds aura lieu au Rapides Parish Coliseum sur Décembre 29, 2017, à Alexandrie, LA. La seule autre femme pro à se battre pour un titre majeur aussi rapidement est double médaillée d'or Boucliers de Clarisse.
Quand tout le monde dans la division des poids légers a refusé de combattre Barrios ou Porter, les deux ont convenu de se battre. Barrios est lauréate de quatre titres mondiaux amateurs Ringside pour accompagner ses nombreux championnats nationaux. Porter était elle-même une amatrice décorée, remporter trois championnats nationaux PAL, Gants d'or américains, et a été médaillé d'argent national des États-Unis. Les deux combattants arrivent avec des records invaincus.
Pour mettre les choses en perspective, Quartiers’ dernier adversaire Jasmine Clarkson, était champion du monde Katie Taylor sixième adversaire, avant que Taylor ne se batte pour le titre mondial WBA. Dans le cas de Porter, elle s'est battue pour un match nul avec Katonya Fisher, qui a vaincu Jessica McCaskill, qui vient de parcourir la distance avec Taylor pour le titre mondial WBA.
“Je suis très excité de me battre pour le titre NABF,” Ladite Selina Barrios. “Tout ce que je veux, c'est une opportunité de gagner un titre mondial, et gagner la ceinture NABF me rapprochera de mon rêve de devenir champion du monde. Je sais que je vais affronter un adversaire dangereux en Lisa Porter, mais rien n'est facile en boxe. Cela étant dit, Je suis prêt à combattre n'importe qui qu'ils mettent devant moi. Je suis convaincu que je peux gagner ce combat. Je veux juste combattre les meilleurs et prouver que je suis une élite.”
“Je suis heureux que Selina Barrios et moi soyons parvenus à un accord pour que ce combat se produise, surtout pour le titre NABF,” a déclaré Lisa Porter. “Il a été difficile de faire monter les adversaires sur le ring avec moi, donc c'est vraiment une bénédiction. Je suis très reconnaissant aux gens de la NABF d'avoir sanctionné ce combat. Selina Barrios va être un test difficile, mais je crois que je peux passer. Les fans vont voir un grand combat.”
“Avec Selina étant la combattante la plus évitée en boxe, Je devais faire ma part pour qu'elle soit classée par le NABF,” dit conseiller Kerry Daigle. “Ce ne sera pas une route facile vers le sommet. Il y a beaucoup de bons combattants avec beaucoup d'expérience qu'elle va devoir combattre. Ce sera le cas lorsque Selina montera sur le ring avec Lisa Porter, qui a une pléthore d'expérience amateur. Elle, est également l'un des combattants les plus évités dans la division des poids légers. Ce sera une bataille entre deux combattants qui mettent tout en jeu pour faire avancer leur carrière au niveau supérieur.
