LOS ANGELES (Janvier 19, 2016) In front of a packed house at Club Nokia at L.A. DIRECT mardi night in downtown Los Angeles, Premier Boxing Champions kicked off PBC On FOX Fight Week In Los Angeles with an exciting fight card on MARDIS TOE-to-toe sur FS1 et Champions de boxe sur Fox Deportes.
En tête d'affiche la carte, poids welter invaincu Jamal James of Burnsville, Minnesota (19-0, 9 KOs), won a 10-round unanimous decision over local favorite Javier Molina, (17-2, 8 KOs). Scores (99-91, 98-92 et 97-93) were surprisingly wide as most ringside observers thought it was a much closer fight.
Battling from the opening bell, James and Molina each had success with swift jabs and power shots throughout the first half of the fight. The intensity continued in the second half with both fighters sensing the bout was hanging in the balance of each stanza.
Said James, “I thought when he first came out in the first couple of rounds, it was pretty close. He was making it a tough fight. As the fight went on, I got him to fight my fight. I kept him on the outside.
“I stuck to my game plan. I felt like I should have been busier. He had some tricky movement with his feet. The range was tough. I had a hard time finding my range, but once I found it, everything fell into place.
“I believe I did gain a lot of fans ce soir and I can’t wait to get back in the ring.”
Stated Molina, “Je pensais qu'il était un combat rapproché. J'avais un plan de match, but I should have stayed inside more. He got wild and I stayed there and let him go out I started locking up. He would throw some punches that I shouldn’t have let him. I didn’t really do what I had to do.
“I didn’t feel like the scorecards were fair. One judge only gave me one round. No way that was right. Either way I think I fought a good fight.
“I felt like I had a lot of people behind me. I am bummed out and I feel like I let them down. I didn’t pull it off. I just hope I gave them an exciting fight.”
Middleweight perspective Caleb usine of Nashville, Tenn. (12-0, 9 KOs) stayed undefeated with an entertaining sixth-round stoppage of Spain’s Adatar Rodriguez (11-5-2, 7 KOs).
Plant showed excellent technique and defense keeping Rodriguez off-balance with an array of power shots. Battering the valiant Rodriguez who suffered two facial cuts, Plant earned the stoppage as the one-sided bout was stopped at 2:37 du sixième tour.
“My performance was great. We are always looking to get better. I stayed patient,” ladite plante. “I’ve fought on five or six PBC cards. Il est une bénédiction.
“I want to dedicate this to my daughter Leah in heaven. She passed last year on Janvier 29. The anniversary is 10 days away and she gives me a lot of motivation.
“I want to get back in the gym and get back as soon as I can. I’m not interested in taking time off. I’m a professional and this is what I do day in and day out.”
In a scheduled six round super middleweight clash, artiste KO Malcolm McAllister(7-0, 7 KOs) who represented nearby Long Beach knocked out Tyrone Selders of Baton Rouge, LA (9-7-1, 6 KOs) in the third stanza. Dropped in the first round, Cobb also suffered a cut over his right yet as McAllister set a relentless pace.
Continuing to batter Selders in the next two rounds, McAllister was awarded the victory as referee Zachary Young stopped the bout at the 2:39 mark of the third round.
Stated McAllister, “I am always going to do what I have to do. I’m happy I beat a tough guy. Je suis un combattant. Je viens pour combattre. I don’t care where it is, we come to fight. It’s a great opportunity and being on TV is a bonus.
“This is my backyard. There were more people here supporting me and cheering me on than I expected. That was a great feeling.”
Opening the telecast, undefeated super middleweight prospect David Benavidez de Phoenix (12-0, 11 KOs) stopped Burlington, VT’s Kevin Cobb, (10-2, 4 KOs) in the second round of their scheduled eight-round battle. Using heavy handed left hooks to the body, Benavidez controlled the action from the opening bell.
Staggering Cobb with an overhand right in the middle of the second round, Benavidez followed up with a full arsenal of power shots causing referee Raul Caiz Jr. to stop the bout at the time of 1:08.
About the victory, Benavidez said “I feel great we had a great training camp. If you saw my fight, I looked great as well. Phoenix has always had a lot of great talent, but not that many guys come out of Phoenix and I am proud of making a name for myself.
“I knew I was going to get my opponent out that fast. I saw him fight. He doesn’t have that many skills. He was running a lot in the first round and that’s why I didn’t get him out there sooner. As soon as I got my hands on him…it was goodnight.”
Four of the fighters featured on de ce samedi Premier Boxing Champions on FOX event were also on hand enjoying the fights to kick off their fight week.
Danny Garcia
“There are some great fights ce soir. I am happy my fighter Tommy Velasquez won by fourth round knockout. I am happy to be here.
“I am proud of my fighter, he had an excellent performance and got the guy out of there.
“This is a great week to start off my fight week, with a team win. The momentum is building and I can’t wait for Samedi nuit.”
Sammy Vasquez
“There are some great fights here and tough competitors. It makes me more excited for Saturday’s fights.
“This is where you need to showcase your skills. On TV is where you need to be dominant, you need to be 100 percent on your A game. If you’re not, it gives someone else an opportunity to take your spot.
“I don’t get to watch fights as a fan as much as I would like so this is a real treat for me.”
Dominic Breazeale
“This is a great way to kick off fight week. FS1 is here in town in downtown LA.
“I am excited about the workout demain, press conference and the weigh-in. All of the activities coming up.
“These fights have been great so far. Guys going punch for punch, blow for blow, cut for cut.”
Amir Mansour
“My last fighter was Gerald Washington and he was taller than Breazeale. So you have to make adjustments for taller guys, but I’ve been fighting taller guys. you will see some definite changes in my game plan.
“I thought I won my last fight. I want to take the judges out of the equation.
“It’s sad that you’re putting your all into something. You’re making sacrifices and then you get in a situation that you have to knock the guy out.
“I’m surprised Breazeale took this fight. I’ve faced better competition.
“I’m really happy to be here and cheer on these up and coming fighters and start fight week watching some great fights.”

Fighter/Promoter Salita Says Detroit Was the Obvious Choice for Upcoming Series of Professional Boxing Shows

Laisser un commentaire
Detroit Brawl Banner
‘Detroit Brawl’ Begins Samedi, Février 6, at the Masonic Temple
“I strongly feel that Detroit has a lot of potential to become a hub for pro boxing. Not only with its own talented fighters, but also for boxers from around the country and around the globe. With consistency, competitive fights and talented boxers there’s a tremendous amount of potential for world-class boxing in the city of Detroit.” Dmitriy Salita
World-class boxer turned promoter Dmitriy Salita, of Salita Promotions, says the choice to base his new series of live fights in Detroit was an easy one to make. A city and state that has produced such all-time greats as Floyd Mayweather, Tommy Hearns and Joe Louis to name a few, as well as legendary trainers such Emanuel Steward and Eddie Futch is, according to Salita, the perfect place to launch a succession of top-notch boxing shows.
Appropriately entitled the “La bagarre de Détroit,” the series will kick off at the iconic Masonic Temple in Downtown Detroit on Samedi, Février 6 à 6:30 h. Featured that night will be a diverse array of up-and-coming prospects and established contenders from Michigan and around the world including Detroit’s James Gordon Smith (8-0, 5 KOs), Ed Williams (10-1-1, 4 KOs), James Ballard (5-0, 2 KOs), and Antonio Wade (1-0, 1 KO), as well as former world title challenger and currently world-ranked cruiserweight Junior Wright of Chicago (14-1-1, 11 KOs), undefeated Dominican Eudy Bernardo (20-0, 14 KOs), Brooklyn’s Dimash Niyazov (8-0-3, 4 KOs) and the professional debut of Turkmenistan’s former Asian Games Amateur Champion, Serdar Hudayberdiyev.
Les billets pour “La bagarre de Détroit” sont au prix de $28, $38, $48, $63, $93, et $123 et are available at all Ticketmaster outlets, ticketmaster.com, en appelant 800-745-3000, or by visiting the Masonic Temple box office. For event information visit themasonic.com et SalitaPromotions.com.
“Detroit is America’s great comeback city and boxing fans love a comeback,” ledit mot, who once challenged for a world title and currently sports a 35-2-1, 18 KOs record as a fighter. “This city has some of the best homegrown boxers in the country and the world and we plan to highlight those talents throughout this series. I thought it was a natural to run consistent high-class show here. Detroit and the State of Michigan, as a whole, have a rich boxing culture: The boxing fans here will respond positively. And for the local up-and-comers, they will have a place close to home to build a fan base.”
Though he is Ukraine-born and Brooklyn-raised, Salita has a long history with the area, having trained here since early in his fighting career.
“I’ve been coming to Detroit for six years, to train at the Kronk Gym with Emanuel Steward and Sugar Hill, his nephew,” explained Salita. “I got a chance firsthand to see the Detroit boxing culture and witness its tremendous talent!”
33-year-old Salita started boxing at age 13 at Starret City Boxing Club in Brooklyn, New York, and went on to become a highly decorated amateur boxer before his professional career. “At the time I started boxing, the Starrett City Boxing Club was run by Jimmy O’Pharrow. It was one of the best gyms in New York City. It produced some of the best fighters in the world today. We all came up together and had ‘fights of the year’ sparring sessions almost every night. The competitive nature of those sparring sessions are what made me so successful in boxing, and when I came here to the Kronk gym I witnessed that same atmosphere.”
Still an active fighter, after losing his challenge to world champion Amir Khan in 2009, Salita says he looked around at his options and decided that with his strong fan base, becoming a promoter was a natural progression. Salita says he’s proud of diversity and talent level he’s been able to provide for the inaugural show of the series.
“I like that this show has several of Detroit’s up-and-coming stars and boxers from different places around the world as well. Junior Wright is world-ranked and one of the best cruiserweights in the world. He’s looking to get back to another world title shot. Eudy Bernardo, an undefeated lightweight prospect from the Dominican Republic, is looking to rise to the top of the division. And the Detroit fighters are some of the best including James Ballard, Eddie Williams and James Gordon Smith, a former national champion in the amateurs. Antonio Wade is another hot prospect from the Detroit area. We’ve also got Asian games gold medalist Serdar Hudayberdiyev making his pro debut. He’s already the greatest fighter his country has ever produced. People are flying out from Turkmenistan to see the fight. I’m very excited about this show and for the future of boxing in this great city!”

NEW YORK (Jan. 17, 2016) – Champion du monde américain des poids lourds Deontay Wilder a défendu son titre WBC pour la troisième fois avec un KO dévastateur au neuvième tour du challenger polonais Arthur Pin Samedi nuit, en direct sur SHOWTIME devant 12,668 fans au Barclays Center de Brooklyn, N. Y.. FAITS SAILLANTS VIDEO: http://s.sho.com/1Rtg0ac
Avec le champion du monde des poids lourds WBA et WBO Tyson Fury et le challenger obligatoire de Wilder Alexander Povetkin regardant depuis le ring, Wilder (36-0, 35 KOs) impressionné encore une fois en assommant son 35e adversaire dans 36 combats.
Ce fut un combat rapproché jusqu'à ce que Szpilka se heurte à un droit brutal au menton tout en lançant un large gauche à 2:24du neuvième tour. Szpilka est tombé sur le dos et est resté inconscient sur la toile pendant quelques instants avant de répondre aux questions et de déclarer qu'il allait bien.. Goupille (20-2, 15 KOs) parlait et bougeait toutes ses extrémités, cependant, il a été emmené à l'hôpital luthérien sur une civière par mesure de précaution.
“Il va bien,” a déclaré Ronnie Shields, l'entraîneur de Szpilka. “Il est éveillé et sait exactement où il est. Il ne voulait pas aller à l'hôpital, mais il y va par précaution. Il vaut mieux prévenir que guérir.”
La puissance a fait la différence pour Wilder, un bombardier de 6 pieds 7 pouces qui a atterri 42 pour cent de ses coups puissants contre l'adversaire gaucher. Le joueur de 30 ans a brièvement célébré sa victoire avant de vérifier que Szpilka irait bien..
“Je lui ai dit qu'il était un grand concurrent,” Wilder dit. “Il est venu tout donner. Il a tout donné pour Brooklyn. Je dis toujours deux prières. Je dis une prière d'équipe et je dis une prière individuelle. Je ne veux pas blesser un homme pour qu'il ne puisse pas rentrer dans sa famille. Nous risquons nos vies à chaque fois que nous montons sur le ring. Il est définitivement dans mes prières et j'espère qu'il va bien.
“Il était définitivement un gars rusé,” suite Wilder. “Je n'ai pas affronté un gaucher en trois ans. Il était un concurrent dur, mais tu te bats pour un titre mondial. Ce n'est pas censé être facile. Je suis surpris que cela ait pris autant de temps, mais nous avions 12 tours et ils ne peuvent pas tous ne peuvent pas être jolis.”
Fureur, le franc-champion du monde unifié britannique, est monté sur le ring après le combat et a affirmé qu'il voulait combattre Wilder dans un blockbuster d'unification.
“N'importe quand, n'importe où, ne importe où. Je te combattrai dans ton arrière-cour après avoir battu (Wladimir) Klitschko encore.”
Wilder, le premier champion américain des poids lourds depuis près d'une décennie, a rejeté les singeries de Fury tout en promettant qu'il était prêt pour une épreuve de force qui est sans aucun doute l'un des plus grands combats qui peuvent être faits en boxe.
“Nous savons tous que Fury n'est qu'un faux,” Wilder dit. “C'est juste un acte. je n'ai peur de personne. Nous viendrons dans votre jardin. C'est juste un acte – tu n'es pas un vrai combattant. je ne joue pas. Ce n'est pas de la lutte. Quand tu montes sur ce ring avec moi, je te promets que je te baptiserai.
“J'aimerais le combattre ensuite, malheureusement, j'ai d'autres mandats dus. Prenez rendez-vous avec Tyson, Je vous promets.”
Dans l'ouverture du SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING, Charles Martin a remporté le championnat du monde IBF des poids lourds lorsque Viatcheslav Glazkov a subi une blessure au genou droit au troisième tour et n'a pas pu continuer. Le combat a été marqué par un TKO au troisième tour (1:50) après que Glazkov a dit à l'arbitre Earl Brown qu'il n'était pas en mesure de continuer.
Martin (23-0-1, 21 KOs), qui était l'agresseur tout au long du combat, devient le sixième champion poids lourd gaucher de l'histoire de la boxe et la deuxième titlist américaine actuelle des poids lourds.
Glazkov (21-1-1, 13 KOs) a glissé au début de la troisième et semblait mal à l'aise lorsqu'il est revenu sur ses pieds. L'Ukrainien, auparavant invaincu, a continué à se battre, mais il est retombé sur la toile en lançant un coup de poing. Les rediffusions ont confirmé que la blessure au genou droit était une glissade et n'était pas le résultat d'un tir connecté de Martin. Après le combat, Le médecin du ring, Gerard Verlotta, a confirmé au journaliste de SHOWTIME Sports, Jim Gray, que la blessure était une déchirure du LCA droit.
“je voulais encore me battre,” Martin a dit. “Nous nous sommes entraînés pour 12 tours et nous allions devenir plus forts au fur et à mesure que les tours avançaient. Il s'est juste tordu la cheville, ça ressemblait. Mais à chaque fois que je le frappais dans le corps et ses jambes volaient. Il boxe,. C'était une blessure de football. je suis désolé pour lui. C'est dommage qu'il n'ait pas pu continuer le combat.
“Je veux unifier les titres. Nous ne nous sommes même pas battus ce soir. Je veux un autre combattant. Je veux Tyson Fury.”
Un Glazkov abattu a plaidé sa cause pour une revanche tout en étant inspecté par des médecins dans son vestiaire.
“Cela aurait dû être ma ceinture,” Glazkov a dit. “je l'avais déjà compris. J'ai glissé et j'ai ressenti une douleur aiguë dans mon genou droit et je l'ai senti l'abandonner. je suis très énervé. Je veux une revanche quand je récupérerai.”

En non-télévisé l'action, Brooklyn Adam Kownacki (13-0, 10 KOs) ravi la foule de la ville natale avec une victoire passionnante et dominante sur Danny Kelly (9-2-1, 8 KOs). Le combattant d'origine polonaise a utilisé des crochets précis et des uppercuts dévastateurs pour gagner la décision unanime par des dizaines de 80-72 deux fois et 79-73.
Alun invaincu de Notre-Dame Mike Lee (16-0, 10 KOs) était vif dans sa sortie cruiserweight alors qu'il s'arrêtait Joseph Gardner (11-9-1, 1 KO) 43 secondes dans la troisième manche. Lee a laissé tomber son adversaire deux fois au troisième tour avant de terminer le combat au quatrième tour.
Ivan Golub (10-0, 8 KOs) explosé Juan Rodriguez (12-4, 5 KOs) et a remporté une victoire par TKO au premier tour. Le combattant d'origine ukrainienne s'entraînant maintenant à Brooklyn a livré un énorme droit en pronation qui a fait tomber Rodriguez et a incité l'arbitre à arrêter le combat 2:41 dans la ronde.
Poids moyen polonais invaincu Maciej Sulecki (22-0, 7 KOs) vétéran dominé
Derrick Findley (22-18-1, 14 KOs) rester parfait via un arrêt 1:29 dans le septième round. Dans une bataille amusante de perspectives invaincues Botisher Obidov (4-0-1, 1 KO) pris une étroite décision unanime sur Ramil Gadjiev (1-1, 1 KO) avec les trois juges marquant le combat 39-37.
Perspective poids mi-lourd Carlos Gongora (4-0, 3 KOs) a marqué trois renversements avant de finalement s'arrêter Derrick Adkins (1-1-1, 1 KO) au quatrième tour. Le coup final était un coup de corps dévastateur qui a mis fin au combat 1:58 dans la ronde.
Brooklyn Julian Sosa (4-0-1, 2 KOs) a ravi ses nombreux fans présents avec une performance dominante sur le point de s'arrêter Bryan Timmons (3-7, 3 KOs) à 1:48 dans le deuxième tour.

Breazeale has been training at The Rock gym in Carson, California with Manny Robles. Here is what Breazeale had to say about Mansour, training camp, the heavyweight division and more:
DOMINIC Breazeale
“It wasn’t hard to refocus after the Charles Martin fight fell out. I took a couple of days off and then I was right back in the gym lundi.
“I have no worries about fighting a southpaw. I’ve had plenty of time to get comfortable with the game plan against a southpaw.
“I just did a week of sparring in San Francisco with LeRon Mitchell. It was well worth it. He’s a southpaw, same build as Mansour. It was ideal.
“I’ve seen a couple of Mansour’s fights, especially the Gerald Washington fight, and I know he wants to get inside. I need him to respect my distance and range. Washington was tall like me so it’s a good fight to study.
“My time playing quarterback in college has helped me out a great deal. The footwork is very similar. Throwing footballs and throwing punches isn’t so different.
“I’d like Charles Martin to defeat Vyacheslav Glazkov and then hopefully I can fight him. Glazkov was an Olympian and has a great deal of experience. I believe if Glazkov wins it will be in impressive fashion. I’m not sure Martin has enough talent to be in the ring with Glazkov.
“Deontay Wilder is very good with his range. I’m a believer in him and I don’t think Artur Szpilka will be able to get inside. I’m picking Deontay.
“My fight will be action packed for sure. I’ve got the ability to knockout Mansour and I’m looking for a knockout in the middle rounds. It will definitely be very action packed.”

COLORADO SPRINGS (Janvier 15, 2016) – Undefeated welterweight contenderSammy “Le sergent” Vasquez is just over a week away from facing the toughest opponent of his career and he took time out of his camp to give an update on training and more.
Vasquez takes on Los Angeles’ Aron Martinez sur Premier Champions de boxe(PBC) sur FOX et FOX Sports sur Samedi, Janvier 23 au STAPLES Center. Televised coverage is headlined by a welterweight world title battle between Danny “Rapide” Garcia et Robert “The Ghost” Guerrier plus a heavyweight contest between 2012 U.S.. Olympien Dominic “Difficulté” Breazeale and rugged contenderAmir “Hardcore” Mansour. Televised bouts begin inside the arena at 4 p.m. PT.

Vasquez has been training at the Triple Threat Boxing Gym in Colorado Springs. Here is what Vasquez had to say about training, son U.S. Army service, Aron Martinez and more:
SAMMY VASQUEZ
“I like training out in Colorado. It’s where I live now and the altitude makes my training even better. The longer I stay out here, the more advantages I get.
“I’m excited to be fighting on the west coast. I love fighting out here. I’m an exciting fighter and I’m fighting a local guy. Hopefully I can win and start building my own fans in L.A.
“Aron Martinez is going to come forward. He puts his head in your chest and tries to wear you out. It’s all about attacking the body. If he wants to be the bull, I’ll be the matador.
“We know his game plan so we’re preparing very well. If he tries to box me, I’ll outbox him all day.
“We’re going to take it one fight at a time. Being in competition for a world title is what we want. All the best guys are in the welterweight division.
“Where I am right now, I’m on the cusp of moving in on the big dogs in the division. I want to fight those guys. I feel like I’m ready to go. You have to take it one fight at a time in this division. It’s all about knocking out a name to get a name.
“I try to use boxing to get anything out there about the military that I can. I’ve been deployed twice and diagnosed with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). PTSD and TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) are very serious things. I’m lucky to be where I’m at right now. I want to push the word out there more. It’s very serious but I’m fortunate enough to be in a position to spread the word.
“I think I’m going to stop him. Between the sixth and the eighth round. We’re going to meet in the middle of the ring. I’ve got more power than he’s used to. Everyone comes forward until they get punched in the face.”

Laisser un commentaire

 

Ronald Ellis vs. Jerry Odom, Keenan Smith vs. Wellington Arias Romero & Lavasis Williams-O’Shaquie Foster Also in Action

Vendredi, Février. 19 à 10 p.m. ET/PT

En direct sur Showtime®

NEW YORK (Jan. 15, 2016) - ShoBox: La Nouvelle Génération returnson Vendredi, Février. 19, quadrupleheader vivre AFFICHER L'HEURE (10 p.m. ET/PT, retardés sur la côte ouest) du Salle de bal Adrian Phillips dans Historic Boardwalk hall à Atlantic City, N.J.

 

With the same height, same age, and similar strong amateur backgrounds, Adam «Beurre» Lopez (14-0, 7 KOs) et Mario “Yayo” Munoz (16-0-1, 10 KOs) will face their toughest opponents to date when they touch gloves in the 10-round super bantamweight main event matchup.

 

Dans d'autres épisodes télévisés, tous prévus pour huit tours, Ronald “Akeem” Ellis (12-0, 10 KOs) prend Jerry Odom (13-2, 12 KOs) dans un choc de super poids moyens percutants, Keenan Smith (9-0, 3 KOs) faces fellow southpaw Wellington Romero (9-0-1, 4 KOs) in a battle of unbeaten welterweights and lefthander Lavisas «Red» Williams (8-0-1, 3 KOs) risque son record invaincu contre O'Shaquie Foster (8-1, 5 KOs) in a super featherweight match.

 

The combined record of the eight up-and-coming competitors is 89-3-3 avec 54 KO.

 

Lopez, de San Antonio, Texas, par Phoenix, Arizona, Forgeron, de Philadelphie, and Foster, d'Orange, Texas, will be making their secondShoBox départs; while Munoz, of Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexique, Ellis, de Dorchester, Massachusetts, Williams, de Rochester, N. Y.. and Romero, of Hasburgh, N. Y., via Santiago, D.R., leur première. Odom, de Washington, D.C, is making his third appearance.

 

Les billets pour l'événement GH3 Promotions sont au prix de $25, $50, $75 et 100 et sont disponibles pour achat en ligne au www.Ticketmaster.comet par téléphone au 1 800 736 1420.

 

An excellent boxer-puncher and tactician that likes to counter, Lopez won his ShoBox debut in his outing before last with a close, hard-fought 10-round majority decision over previously undefeated, dominicainEliezer Aquino (17-0-1 allant dans). Lopez is coming off a second-round TKO over Eric Aiken dernier Décembre. 12.

 

Lopez was born in Phoenix, raised in Los Angeles and moved to San Antonio when he was 15. Il est allé 125-23 in the amateurs and won six national championships before turning pro in February 2012. He’s trained by former two-time world champion Carlos "Famoso" Hernandez.

 

Munoz will be making his United States debut and first start outside of Mexico. A pro since September 2010, he’s known for his come-forward style, first-rate overall skills and proficient punching power. Il est allé 140-10 dans les amateurs, winning three national Junior Olympic tournaments and coming away with bronze and silver medals in national championships.

 

Munoz, who hails from a fighting family, has an uncle who boxed professionally. He’s the one he credits for introducing him to boxing when he was 13. This will be his first fight since he scored a lopsided eight-round decision over Daniel Franco dernier Mai 2.

 

Ellis upset highly regarded Terrell Gausha to win the 2010 Golden Gloves nationales (Gausha would go on to represent the U.S. au 2012 Jeux Olympiques). Since going pro in February 2011, Ellis has fought in two countries (Puerto Rico, Mexique) and six U.S. villes (San Antonio, Carson, Calif., Winchester, Va., New York City, Tulsa and Inglewood, Calif.). The 26-year-old has faced mostly modest opposition and has seldom come close to putting in a full night’s work.

 

Ellis had had a series of delays and restarts since turning pro but feels he’s grown from his mistakes and that he’ll be stronger because of them. Pour sûr, his power hasn’t been affected. Tous 10 of his knockouts have come inside two rounds (eight in the first). The older brother of boxer Rashidi Ellis has won four straight by knockout, y compris un TKO de deuxième tour sur Jas Phipps dans son dernier départ dernier Août. 29. But he seems to be taking a sizeable step-up in class here.

 

Odom is looking to turn it around after losing two of his last three, the most recent defeat coming via a shocking third-round TKO to Samuel Clarkson (14-3 allant dans) sur ShoBox. The heavily favored, heavy-hitting Odom was dropped three times, once in the second and twice in the third, before the fight was halted at 1:15.

 

Odom, un amateur de haut et 2012 Champion national des Golden Gloves à 178 livres, eu une victoire fin de série 12 de combat sur Jan. 9, 2015, when he was disqualified against Andrew Hernandez. In the rematch the followingMars 13 sur ShoBox, Odom registered a 2:47, first-round TKO.

 

Dans son ShoBox début, Odom, who makes for exciting scraps, dropped previously unbeaten Vilier Quinonez (8-0) twice before stopping him in the seventh round on July 25, 2014.

 

Smith won his ShoBox debut in his last start on a hard-fought, eight-round unanimous decision over Benjamin Whitaker dernier Novembre. 6 in an outdoor fight in Las Vegas. Fighting in memory of his mother who died in late September and going eight rounds for the first time, the 5-foot-7Smith, overcame a nasty cut over the left eye from an unintentional headbutt in the sixth, rallied to score a knockdown in the seventh and triumphed by the scores of 79-73 et 78-74 deux fois.

 

Before turning pro in April 2010, Smith was a 2008 National Golden Gloves Featherweight Champion and 2007 Champion olympique national junior. Le sien 74-2 record in the amateurs included two victories overworld-ranked contender Amir I.

Romero had 268 amateur bouts and represented the Dominican Republic at the Olympics in 2012 (he lost to Vasyl Lomanchenko). Shortly thereafter he relocated to New York. He went pro in October 2013, fought four times in 2014 and five times last year.

 

A slick 5-foot-9 boxer who can punch and gives opponent issues because of his awkward style and movement, Romero, 24, has beat up on ordinary opposition and is coming off a first-round TKO over LuisMeroles dernier Décembre. 5. This looks to be his most daunting assignment to date.

 

Williams, 24, is a boxer-puncher who’s won seven in a row since boxing a draw in his second start in March 2013. This will be his first fight outside of New York. Making his eight-round debut in his last start onOctobre. 8, he won a shutout decision over Czech Republic’s Michal Dufek.

 

Favoriser, 22, gets a quick-fix opportunity to redeem himself after losing hisShoBox debut on an eight-round unanimous decision to underdog Sam Seah (6-1) sur Novembre. 6 card in Las Vegas.

 

A highly decorated amateur, the 5-foot-8½ inch Foster advanced to the 2012 U.S.. Jeux Olympiques essais où il a perdu à pro invaincu perspective, Joseph "Jo-Jo" Diaz. Avant ça, Foster was a 2011 Gants d'or et de Houston 2010 Champion national PAL, a five-time Ringside National Champion and two-time National Junior Golden Gloves Champion.

Barry Tompkins appellera la ShoBox l'action du ringside avec Steve Farhood et ancien champion du monde Raul Marquez servant analystes experts. Le producteur exécutif est Gordon Hall avec Richard Gaughan la production et Rick Phillips direction.

Voici ce que les participants avaient à dire Jeudi:
Deontay Wilder
“I’m so happy to be here in the ‘Big Apple.’ It’s been over 115 years since there’s been a heavyweight title fight in Brooklyn and you’ve invited your ‘country friend’ to end that streak.
“Everything has happened at the right time in my life. Even the people I’ve met in my career have come at the right time. I still think about the first time I met Lennox Lewis and he took the time out to talk to me and he showed me different techniques. Je n'oublierai jamais.
“Lennox was one of those guys that set the standard. He’s a hard act to follow. But I love a challenge. Everybody has had struggles coming up. Now my children are my motivation and that’s what has made me strong physically and mentally.
“Here we are in 2016, with a young champion trying to follow in the footsteps of a great champion to become undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.
“People who know me know that if I say I’m going to do something, I’m doing it. I am hungry. I am determined. I’m not playing with anybody in 2016. I don’t say things just to sound good. My actions will speak for themselves.
“This is a great card. Two heavyweight title fights in one night. It doesn’t get much better than that. The heavyweight division is exciting again. Having someone like me, it’s only going to get better.
“I take pride in what I do and what I have. I’m very honored to have the WBC belt. I even have the belt tattooed on my body. It’s not going anywhere. But there are more belts that I want. It’s going to be a long journey and a tough path to fulfill. But I’m that man.
“When people say the heavyweight champion of the world, I want one person to be recognized. I wish my opponent and all future opponents good luck, cause they’re going to need it.
“We’re not looking past Artur Szpilka. Things happen due to adrenaline and excitement, but I’m very confident about what I’m going to do Samedi nuit. He wants to be the first Polish heavyweight champion of the world. You know he’s coming to make history.
“Ça va être un dur combat, but a fun fight. Everyone who sees this fight, they’re going to get their money’s worth. Ça va être un grand spectacle. J'ai hâte. Waiting is the hardest part of boxing.”
ARTUR PIN
“I’m so happy to fight in front of so many great Polish fans. I want to be the first Polish heavyweight champion of the world. I want to do it.
“Il n'y a pas de pression sur moi. The pressure is on Deontay because I just want to be a world champion, il est déjà.
“I’m not just here to get my paycheck. Everyone who knows me, knows I come to fight. I don’t just want to win; I want to win in spectacular fashion.
“I have a bunch of friends coming in from Chicago but the next 48 hours will be mostly relaxing. I have a couple small training sessions with Ronnie (Shields) mais c'est tout.
“I know you have to have a great respect for your opponent and I used to have respect for him. But after what he has said about me, I have a problem. You have to prove it in the ring. He has to do it in the ring, not outside the ring. He can say whatever he wants, but we will see it in the ring.
“I will fight hard and after the fight you will hear ‘The New Heavyweight Champion of the World.’ “
Charles Martin
“I’m so thankful to be in this position. Everyone who put this together and got me here, I owe them everything. I want to thank my mom for making me a strong guy. We went through everything together. We’ve seen it all.
“It’s starting to get real. I can feel my aggression coming out. I’m a Taurus, I’m a bull. I get mean when it’s time to fight. That’s what I want to bring into the ring Samedi nuit. Controlled aggression.
“I’m a nice person but when it’s time to go, I have an angry heart.
“I train for every fight like a title fight. Mentally there was nothing to gear up for. I’m strong mentally. I’ve been running up in the mountains and doing a lot of rounds.
“We’re in great shape after being in one camp for eight weeks and then taking a week off before we got back to it. It was a great training camp.
“I’m happy and excited. Je suis impatient de ce combat Samedi and taking what’s mine.
“I’m so sick of talking about what Glazkov does well, I just want to see if he can do it well against me.”
VYACHESLAV GLAZKOV
“Thank you everyone who supports me and loves boxing. Ceci est une grande opportunité pour moi. Je suis 100 pour cent prêt. This will be a good fight and I hope everyone is watching.
“Je me sens bien. I’ve trained very hard. Je suis très prêt pour ce combat. Everything is in place for me to become world champion.
“Charles is a big guy. He’s a lefty but he hasn’t fought good opponents. He’s a big strong guy, but it’s the heavyweight division. Everyone is strong. This will be a good fight.
“All of my past fights have helped me get ready for this one. I want all of the belts. This is the first step towards my dream.”
Lennox Lewis, Former Unified Heavyweight World Champion
“I’m looking forward to the fights Samedi. There are four great heavyweights that I’m excited to see. I’m happy that my WBC belt is looked after so well.
“The heavyweight division is wide open right now. Now it’s time for the guys who were standing by the wayside to show that they want to be the next undisputed champion.”
DiBella LOU, Président de DiBella Entertainment
“This is going to be a huge event at Barclays Center Samedi nuit. There are still some tickets available, but you better run and get them. We just opened up some more tickets today. We could have a record crowd for boxing at Barclays Center and that’s the power of the heavyweight division and the power of boxing when you deliver a great product to people.
“There are two terrific fights in one night. They will be the first heavyweight title fights in Brooklyn in 115 ans. We knew we were going to have Deontay Wilder taking on Artur Szpilka. We didn’t initially expect it, but now we have a title fight for a vacant belt as a co-feature. It really makes it a special night.”
STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Vice-président exécutif & Directeur Général, Sports Showtime®
“SHOWTIME Sports was born on March 10, 1986 with its first telecast of a sporting event, which happened to feature a spectacular 11e-round knockout by “Merveilleux” Marvin Hagler. This is SHOWTIME’s 30eanniversary and we’ll be celebrating all year long.
“In keeping with our heavyweight theme, we are featuring our long history with Evander Holyfield and airing some of his biggest fights. Holyfield has fought with us 18 fois, the most of any other fighter. If there is a current fighter who can break that record, it’s Deontay Wilder. He’s fought eight times and we’ve seen the progression of his skills.
“I can’t think of a better way to kick off our year than with this doubleheader of heavyweight title fights. For each of these four fighters on this SHOWTIME card, Samedi night represents a lifetime of work and their dream of being heavyweight champion. I’m convinced we’re going to have two memorable fights that will add to the great history of SHOWTIME.
“We have such confidence in this card we’re doing something unprecedented. Not only is it a part of our Free Preview Weekend, but we’re putting the entire telecast on the SHOWTIME Sports YouTube Channel. There’s no excuse for anyone to miss it.”
BRETT YORMARK, PDG de Barclays Center
“Barclays Center is in the big event business and it doesn’t get any bigger than hosting two heavyweight world championship fights Samedi nuit. Brooklyn has a great history with heavyweights but it’s been a long time. Deontay is the perfect person to bring this tradition back to Brooklyn. Il est confiant, tenacious and has a big personality. He’s made to fight in Brooklyn.
“Wilder versus Artur Szpilka is the matchup Brooklyn has been waiting for. The Fort Greene section of Brooklyn has a tremendous Polish population and Artur will have a big rooting section Samedi nuit.
“This will be our sixteenth event and I expect 2016 to be our biggest year ever. This is certainly an exciting way to kick off boxing at Barclays for 2016.”
