“This card is a great way to set the tone for competitive fights in the 2018,” said promoter Dmitriy Salita. “These are two pick’em fights with the winners having a legitimate shot at world title contention in the near future. Egrashev has the power, skills and ambition to be an exciting addition to the already packed junior welterweight division, but he’s facing his toughest test in Sonny Fredrickson. Jessy Hernandez is coming off impressive wins over two undefeated fighters and he’s returning against a very durable challenger with solid pro experience and strong amateur boxing pedigree. I am excited and grateful to SHOWTIME that we were able to put together these fantastic fights as the first show of the year.”

“If you look at Ergashev’s past opponents, he hasn’t fought against anyone that talented, so I’m confident that I’ll stop him in his tracks,” Fredrickson said. “I’m sure he’ll try to come out strong in the beginning of the fight, but I plan to break him down.

“Plenty of boxing stars got their first break on SHOWTIME, so fighting on this network is huge for me. I’m ready to capitalize on this opportunity and showcase my skills on one of the biggest platforms in boxing. My goal is to put on a great performance at Turning Stone and get the victory.”

Hernandez is coming off two consecutive wins over previously undefeated, top-15 ranked fighters – a unanimous decision over Glenn Dezurn on November. 11, and fifth-round TKO of Vladimir Tikhonov in his ShoBox debut den Augusti. 4. The 27-year-old Hernandez, the youngest of 15 barn, var 67-6 as an amateur and took five years off from boxing between 2009 och 2014 to work construction jobs in his hometown of Fort Worth, Texas.

“This is going to be a tough fight, but I am putting in the work and feel like I will definitely come out on top,” said Hernandez, who has six brothers that have boxed professionally. “It will be action-packed and a must-watch fight. I feel like my aggressive style is meant for TV. I will fight whoever is put in front of me to prove my worth. Dominance in the 122-pound weight division is my ultimate goal.”

Can Saunders Secure His Most Impressive Win to Date Over Lemieux?

Lämna en kommentar

Billy Joe Saunders will take to the ring on December 16 in Canada as the reigning and defending WBO middleweight champion, being the proud owner of a belt which he won way back in December 2015 when defeating fellow traveller Andy Lee.

 

But since outpointing Irishman Lee with a majority decision success to become world champion at the Manchester Arena, Saunders has only defended it on two occasions, with unanimous decision triumphs over Artur Akavov and Willie Monroe Jr., more recently.

 

Against game Russian Akavov, the undefeated world title holder was far from impressive and perhaps even lucky to get such a comfortable decision in the end at the Lagoon Leisure Centre on Scottish soil. The win over American challenger Monroe Jr was a lot better, having then undertaken Dominic Ingle as his newest coach.

 

But the latter bout was still a drab affair and did nothing to further or boost Saunders’ appeal to a broader audience, as he outworked the New York-born southpaw quite comfortably. For most of the title defence, he was barely made to work at all, with Monroe having come in with a bizarrely inefficient gameplan.

 

Emellertid, the 28-year-old will next face undoubtedly his toughest career test to date against former 160lbs champion David Lemieux, a far more serious challenge than an inexperienced and youthful Chris Eubank Jr, an indifferent Andy Lee and the far from threatening Willy Monroe Junior.

 

Hard-hitting Canadian Lemieux will enter the ring ropes as the evens outsider in the latest boxing odds to prevail on home territory, a promising price for a fighter on a strong surge of victories of late. Since being viciously stopped in a gallant showing against the division kingpin Gennady Golovkin in October 2015, the 28-year-old has earned four consecutive wins, including two big knockouts of Glen Tapia and Curtis Stevens.


Of all the opponents Saunders has gone toe to toe with to date, none have possessed the punching power of Lemieux, and that could be a decisive factor come fight night. The latter home hope is promoted by Oscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy, who are seemingly keen to match the Canadian up with main cash cow Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez next year, rather than throw him in with ‘GGG’ once again in a highly awaited rematch.

 

Despite being the favourite to prevail and maintain his unbeaten record on what will be his maiden venture outside of the UK in his professional career, it seems the odds are actually stacked against Saunders for this latest encounter.

 

It has been evident, alltför, that Saunders doesn’t boast the massive power capable of keeping a fleet-footed Lemieux away from the danger areas throughout their match-up. Knockout artist Lemieux produced what could eventually be voted stoppage of the year back in March when he brutally put Stevens’ lights out in New York City.

 

Could another vicious stoppage success be on the cards on home soil? It’s up to Saunders and Ingle to execute their upcoming gameplan perfectly to secure what would be a highly impressive victory on the road, but it looks likely of being a truly testing night in Quebec.

Granit Chin's “Rulla på The RIM” Officiell resultatlista

Lämna en kommentar
Richard “Popeye sjömansmannen” Rivera
Bra att avsluta eftersom han äter sin spenat
Russell Kimber vinner proffsdebut
HAMPTON, N.H. (December 9, 2017) — Färgglad lätt tungviktsprospekt Richard “Popeye The Sailor Man” Rivera förblev obesegrad (5-0, 4 Kos), veteran Roberto “The Old” Valenzuela, igår kväll (Lör) i “Rulla på The RIM” main event, Presenterat av Kampanjer i granithaken, på RIM Sports Complex i Hampton, New Hampshire.
Rivera, slåss ut från Hartford (CT), kontrollerade handlingen från öppningsklockan mot sin stridstestade motståndare från Mexiko, som hade en enorm erfarenhetsfördel i sin 147th pro-kamp, jämfört med Riveras femma.
Valenzuela tillbringade större delen av tiden vid repen, medan Rivera teed-off på honom, tills en vackert placerad vänsterkrok av Rivera prydde Valenzuela, som misslyckades med att resa sig förrän efter domaren Mike Ryan avslutade 10-räkningen.
En busslast med Riveras fans körde fem timmar från Hartford genom en snöstorm, anländer precis innan Rivera gick in i ringen. “Det betyder mycket för mig,” Rivera log när han pratade om sina fans. “Vi är mer än ett gym, vi är familj.
“Jag var så van vid en amatörstil men nu är jag ett proffs. Jag slappnar av och slår mina slag. Nästa, Jag vill vinna New England-titeln. Det är tomt och jag vill ha det!”
“Det här var vår första show i New Hampshire och jag ser det som en succé,” medarrangör Chuck Shearns sa, “trots att vissa saker går emot oss som kvällens väder. Vi är tacksamma för det stöd vi fick från Hampton, New Hampshire, kommissionen och lokala företag. De arbetade med oss ​​och vi kan inte vänta med att återvända.”
Son och brorson till flerfaldiga världsmästare i kickboxning – pappa Tommy och farbror – arbetade sitt hörn — Peabody, MA Russell Kimber hade en lovande proffsdebut mot tuffa Nathan Schulte i en match som tävlades på en 185-pund catchweight. Den 32-åriga Kimber, som var publikens favorit efter att ha bott flera år i New Hampshire, övervann den målmedvetna Schulte för en hårt kämpad seger genom ett majoritetsbeslut i fyra omgångar.
“Jag var lite nervös över att detta var min första gång i en proffsring,” Kimber erkände efter sitt slagsmål. “Jag hade inte varit i en ring för 1 ½ år och det var lite ringrost. Nu, Jag vet vad jag behöver för att bli bra, och jag kommer att bli mycket bättre nästa match. Det här var mitt första läger och jag har lärt mig mycket. Jag vill vara upptagen, kom tillbaka i slutet av januari, början av februari.”
obesegrade Whitman, MA junior weltervikt prospekt Mike “Dålig man” JE, Jr.laddas över ringen, lossning av en kraftfull rättighet som omedelbart skickades Bardraiel Smith till duken. Smith reste sig på något sätt men Ohan avslutade snabbt Smiths natt, bara 30 sekunder in i omgång ett, som domare Ryan vinkade av handlingen.
New Englands mästare i cruiservikt och showens medarrangör, Irakkrigsveteran Chris Traietti (25-5, 19 Kos) utklassade Fabian Valdez på väg mot vinst genom knockout i andra omgången i en upptagen kamp för att avsluta 2017. I en kamp utan titel som tävlades i en 185-pounds catchweight, Quincy, MA-baserade Traietti golvade sin mexikanska motståndare med en rak höger mitt i den inledande omgången, avslutar showen i den andra omgången med en rad obesvarade slag.
Den enda infödda New Hampshire på kortet, Claremont junior mellanvikt Ricky Ford(1-1-1) vann sin första proffskamp, tar en skev, enhälligt beslut i fyra omgångar över proffs MMA-fighter Andy Aiello, som gjorde sin proffsboxningsdebut.
I ännu en upptagen kamp, tidigare världsrankad Ryan “Den polska Prince” Kielczweski(27-3, 9 Kos), slåss ut av Quincy (MA), behövde bara 51 sekunder för att avsluta mexikansk lättvikt Francisco “Apan” Medalj. Kielczweski slog Medal med a med en dödlig kvar till kroppen, lämnar medaljen i uppenbar smärta och oförmögen att resa sig före 10-tal.
New Jersey mellanvikt Chris “John blund” Thomas (7-0-1, 4 Kos) höll sitt obesegrade proffsrekord intakt med ett avbrott i andra omgången Demetrius Thomas. Thomas använde en snabbskjutskombination för att släppa Thomas, som slog greven, men han höll på att hamra när domaren Ryan stoppade kampen sent i andra ronden.

Martin had a few good moments later in the fight but Perrella’s power and punch output earned him a clear-cut victory.

"It felt great to come back” said Perrella. “I didn’t feel any ring rust and I’m satisfied with my performance.
