ATLANTIC CITY - Gennaio 11, 2020 - Claressa Shields ha fatto la storia ancora una volta sostenendo il WBC e WBO campionati del mondo 154 chili con una decisione unanime che domina sopra Ivana Habazin Venerdì su Showtime da Ocean Casino Resort di Atlantic City.

Shields è diventato il combattente più veloce nella storia, maschio o femmina, a vincere titoli mondiali in tre categorie di peso differenti, superando il record di Vasiliy Lomachenko e Kosei Tanaka, che sia compiuto l'impresa in 12 combattimenti. Il quasi-shutout è stato segnato 99-89, 100-90, 100-89. 

Shields (10-0, 2 KO) sopraffatto Habazin dalla campana di apertura, utilizzando un forte colpo e una dieta costante di colpi corpo che ha lasciato la Croazia per lo più in modalità difensiva per tutta la lotta di 10 round. Nel sesto round, una serie di colpi corpo costretto Habazin a prendere un ginocchio nel primo knockdown della sua carriera. E 'stato anche il primo atterramento per il due volte medaglia d'oro olimpica e indiscusso campione del mondo pesi medi nella sua carriera professionale.

Dopo il colpo, Habazin continuato in avanti ma lo ha fatto senza gettare molti pugni. Habazin (20-4, 7 KO) ha gettato solo 285 rispetto a 516 per Shields, che ha anche collegati su 38 per cento dei suoi colpi di potenza rispetto ad appena 18 per cento per Habazin.

Nella co-optional attacco, welter sensazione Jaron Ennis ha segnato il suo 15th ko consecutivo con una che domina il quarto round TKO sopra il durevole Bakhtiyar Eyubov.

Lo switch-colpire Philadelphia nativo è uscito con un ritmo vesciche nel primo, il passaggio da mancino nel minuto di apertura durante la visualizzazione suo potere di firma e la velocità della mano. Un attacco di pugni perfettamente a tempo pavimentato normalmente durevole Eyubov per la prima volta nella sua carriera a metà strada attraverso la gara di apertura. Eyubov (14-1-2, 12 KO) alzato ma è stato caduto contro solo 20 secondi più tardi come il ritmo torrido continuato. Eyubov sopravvissuto alla rotonda e Ennis (25-0, 23 KO) ha preso il suo piede dal gas un po 'nel secondo, ma il welter imbattuto ancora atterrato a volontà contro Eyubov, che ha continuato a premere in avanti.

Prima del quarto turno, Commissario Larry Hazzard ha avvertito Eyubov che avrebbe fermare la lotta, se non ha visto un miglioramento. Con Eyubov ancora premendo in avanti ma mangiare decine di punzoni, arbitro Earl Brown è intervenuto per fermare la lotta al :34 le istruzioni del Hazzard.

Ennis ha ora 23 ko in 25 combatte e si 13 atterramenti sui suoi ultimi sei incontri. Attraverso quattro turni il incredibilmente efficace Ennis atterrato 47 per cento dei suoi colpi di potenza.

“Sapevamo che sarebbe venuto a combattere e portare la pressione così abbiamo mescolato in su,”, Ha detto Ennis. “Era un buon combattente, ma non era poi così forte. Mi stavo colpito un po 'troppo, ma è così che abbiamo fatto per ottenere l'eliminazione diretta.

“Stavamo solo lui allestendo per colpi di potenza. Ho appena avuto a calmarsi, È tutto. Ero troppo hyped. Una volta mi sono calmato e ho ottenuto nel mio ritmo che è stato.

“Stava prendendo un sacco di punizione. Lui sicuramente è stato un grande combattente però. Apprezzo lo prendendo la lotta perché un sacco di ragazzi non vogliono combattere contro di me.”

Con un'altra prestazione dominante, Ennis ora mette gli occhi sul grado superiore di una delle divisioni più profonde e più emozionanti della boxe.

“Abbiamo volendo tutti i ragazzi,”, Ha detto Ennis. “Continuano a correre. Essi non possono più funzionare. Sono proprio qui."

Nel match di apertura della trasmissione televisiva, IBF Super medio campione del mondo Elin Cederroos bordato campione WBA Alicia Napoleone Espinosa per unificare la divisione super medi in un all-azione slugfest segnato 95-94 tre volte.

Cederroos (7-0, 4 KO) era più attivo dalla campana di apertura, lancio 747 punzoni totale oltre 10 giri rispetto al 432 per il leggermente più efficace Napoleone Espinosa (12-2, 7 KO).  Ma la differenza nelle scorecard vicino era un atterramento secondo turno che Cederroos registrata con un assegno gancio tempismo perfetto sinistra nei momenti della seconda chiusura. E 'stato il primo knockdown della carriera di Napoleone Espinosa e in ultima analisi, il fattore decisivo nella scorecard.

"Sono così felice. Ho dimostrato che posso scatola e prendere una guerra,”Cederroos detto. “Ma quando mi sono rilassato i pugni appena uscito. Ci si sente così meraviglioso. Alicia è stato un grande avversario “.

Napoleone Espinosa era gioco e ferire i tempi multipli svedese Cederroos ma lei era in gran parte incapace di entrare dentro contro il suo avversario più alto che costantemente atterrato i colpi più grandi a distanza.

“Non pensavo che ho perso. Ho pensato che era piuttosto vicino, ma ho pensato che ero avanti,”Disse Napoleone Espinosa. "È quello che è, ma non credo che ho perso questa lotta.

“So che era forte, ma volevo una dura lotta. So che Elin è un atleta. Non mi sento che ho perso. Mi sento come era vicino.”

Napoleone Espinosa aveva sperato che una vittoria avrebbe posizione per un 2020 combattere con Claressa Shields a medi con tutti e quattro Shields’ titoli 160 chili sulla linea.

“Congratulazioni per la lotta con Shields, perché era quello che stavo cercando l'ora di,”Disse Napoleone Espinosa.

ALLENTOWN, Pa.(Gennaio 6, 2020) – WBC Featherweight Campione del MondoGary Russell Jr.will defend his 126-pound crown against unbeaten mandatory challengerTugstsogt “King Tug” NyambayarSabato, Febbraio 8 live on SHOWTIME from PPL Center in Allentown, Pennsylvania headlining a Premier Boxing Champions event.

La trasmissione televisiva Showtime Championship Boxing inizia alle 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT and will see former world championsGuillermo RigondeauxeLiborio Solís battle for the vacant WBA Bantamweight World Title in the co-main event. The telecast opens withJaime Arboleda incontroJayson Velèzin a 12-round bout WBA Super Featherweight Title eliminator.

The main event showdown will see Russell make the fifth defense of his title as he looks to again display the skills and speed that have made him one of the elite featherweight fighters in the world. He will be challenged by the 2012 Olympic silver medalist “King Tug”, who quickly rose up the rankings facing quality opposition throughout his 11-fight career.

“Gary Russell Jr. has proven himself to be at the very elite level of this sport and one of the best fighters in the featherweight division,"Ha detto Tom Brown, Presidente di Promotions TGB. “His speed, power and overall skillset has made him a must-watch every time he steps into that ring. He’s going to get all he can handle from an undefeated fighter in ‘King Tug’ Nyambayar, who has the pedigree and power to make this a memorable fight.

And in the co-main event, Guillermo Rigondeaux, one of the best boxers on the planet since his days as an amateur in Cuba, moves down in weight to the bantamweight division for the first time in his pro career as he faces former world champion Liborio Solis with a world title at stake. Add in a compelling super featherweight eliminator and we have the makings of an action-packed tripleheader on February 8.”

I biglietti per l'evento dal vivo, which is promoted by TGB Promotions and Kings Promotions, sono in vendita ora e possono essere acquistati tramitewww.pplcenter.com/events (direct linkQUI).  

The Capitol Heights, Maryland native Russell (30-1, 18 KO) has held his WBC Featherweight Title since 2015 when he stopped multiple division champion Jhonny Gonzalez to emphatically capture the belt. The 31-year-old is part of one of boxing’s premier fighting families as he is trained by his father Gary Sr., and trains alongside his younger brothers, unbeaten super lightweight Gary Antuanne and undefeated bantamweight Antonio. Russell most recently stopped former champion Kiko Martinez in May on SHOWTIME after previously defeating then unbeaten challenger Joseph Diaz Jr in 2018 in a hometown defense.

“I’m forced to defend my title against another mandatory challenger and I’m going to show on February 8 why none of the other champions want to face me,” said Russell. “I’m the longest current reigning WBC champion but no one has stepped up to the challenge I present. I’m going to take care of business against a strong opponent and display all my skills like I always do.”

The 27-year-old Nyambayar (11-0, 9 KO) represented his native Mongolia in the 2012 Olympics but now lives in the U.S. and is training out of Las Vegas. Nyambayar ascended up the featherweight rankings after his extensive amateur career with victories over then unbeaten Harmonito Dela Torre and former interim champion Oscar Escandon. Most recently he won his first 12-round decision by defeating former champion Claudio Marrero in January.

“This is going to be an exciting fight for everyone watching on February 8,” said Nyambayar. “Gary Russell Jr. is a great champion who is very talented, but he has the WBC belt and that’s what I want. I’m training hard to win this fight and I will be ready for anything that Russell brings to the ring.”

Rigondeaux(19-1, 13 KO) will look to move down and capture a title in a second weight class in his SHOWTIME debut. Since turning professional in 2009 after one of the best amateur careers in history, Rigondeaux has showcased masterful technical skills that made him a unified 122-pound world champion and perennial member of the pound-for-pound list. A two-time Olympic gold medalist for his native Cuba, Rigondeaux made his name with victories over the likes of Nonito Donaire, Rico Ramos and Joseph Agbeko. Most recently, Rigondeaux scored an exciting eighth-round stoppage of former champion Julio Ceja in June.

Born in Venezuela and fighting out of Panama, Solís (30-5-1, 14 KO) farà il suo U.S. debutto a febbraio 8 while riding a five-fight winning streak. Solís captured a super flyweight world title in 2013 amidst a 14-bout unbeaten run. He has lost by decision in his two previous attempts at 118-pound title, including a controversial loss to Jamie McDonnell, which he has bounced back from on his current win streak.

Arboleda (15-1, 13 KO) has ripped off five straight victories by stoppage since he suffered the only loss of his career against Recky Dulay in 2017. The 25-year-old Arboleda from Curundu, Panama will be fighting in the U.S. per la prima volta nella sua carriera. He’s coming off a knockout victory over Victor Betancourt on August 24.

The 31-year-old Veléz (29-5-1, 21 KO) has strung together three straight knockout victories since losing to Ryan Garcia in 2018. The Juncos, Puerto Rico resident is coming off a knockout victory over Hector Ruben Ambriz Suarez on July 27 and is looking for another championship opportunity. He came up short in his previous attempt when he fought to a draw against Evgeny Gradovich for the featherweight world title in 2014.

Undefeated lightweight prospect Jamaine “The Technician” Ortiz Hammerin’ his way to medical school

Lascia un commento

WORCESTER, Massa. (Gennaio 6, 2020) – Undefeated World Boxing Council (WBC) Youth World lightweight championJamaine "The Technician" Ortiz (12-0, 6 KO) isn’t a typical professional boxer whose life entirely revolves in and around the “Sweet Science.”

The 23-year-old Ortiz is also a licensed carpenter with diverse interests ranging from engineering and psychology to philosophy, and his ultimate post-boxing career aspiration is to attend medical school. First, anche se, Ortiz’ goal is to become world champion, which would be a first for a native of Worcester, Massachusetts.

“I was always fascinated by architecture, starting with my mother’s house, and that spun off to engineering,” Ortiz explained. “I wanted to learn how to build to better understand and became a carpenter after graduating from high school. I’m not worried about getting hurt at work. I do work with my hands, but I’m in the union and everything is safe, and I’m very careful.

“Medical school is my dream. I want to help people working with cells, blood and muscle tissues, understanding the body. I’m not sure if I’ll do research or be working with patients, maybe in internal medicine, but not in traditional medicine. I’m interested in natural, holistic medicine, and working for the benefit of people.”

Ortiz, who started boxing at the age of six, will return to the ring in early 2020 per, most likely, his final WBC Youth World title fight, because this title is for fighters 23 or younger, and Jamaine turns 24 on April 28.

The WBC World Youth title has been a stepping-stone for great champions such asSaul "Canelo" Alvarez, Timothy Bradley,Danny Garcia eLeo Santa Cruz, tra i più notabili.

“I’m proud to be the WBC World lightweight champion, but I’ll have to give it up in April when I turn 24.,” Ortiz remarked. “I’ll win bigger titles as I get older. This has been good for now, but I’m going on to bigger and better things. I’m confident that I’ll be world champion in 2021 and I want to be a multiple wight-class world champion before I retire.”

Ortiz recently gained even more confidence whenTeofimo Lopez (15-0, 12 KO) captured the International Boxing Federation (IBF) World lightweight championship, battendo il campione uscenteRichard Commey in the second round this past December.

Al 2015 Golden Gloves nazionali, Ortiz lost a decision to Lopez in the championship final. “He didn’t do that stuff to me (like he did to Commey),” Ortiz noted. “He didn’t beat me up. I lost a decision, but I showed that I could fight with him. He was nothing like you saw on television (vs. Commey), though. I’ve watched him get better and better.

So is Ortiz and before he swaps his boxing gloves for a stethoscope, he has unfinished business in boxing. Nothing short of capturing a world championship crown will satisfy “The Technician.”

Ma ho ancora parlato con tutta la mia famiglia e collegato con tutti. Ho una dieta molto rigorosa in campo e io in realtà sono allenato il giorno di Natale. Considero la mia dieta più di un progetto di vita in generale, e ho i miei giorni in cui mi pazzia, ma rimango disciplinato.”

Non ho intenzione di lasciare che il suo essere irrispettoso verso di me e ho intenzione di battere fuori a farla tacere “.

Florida, USA based Duran Jr, whose record stood at 3-1-0 prior to his UK trip, joined stars from Professional boxing such as WIBA World Champion and WBC Muay Thai World Champion Denise Castle, British and WBO European Champion Bradley Skeete, WBF International & European Champion Tommy Jacobs and former WBC International Champion Herol Graham and also from Football such as Harry Redknapp and Peter Peter Odemwingie in their support of the Kiyan Prince Foundation (KPF).

Duran Jr. had to be on top form as Santana pulled out all the stops to try and prevent the Floridian securing his maiden UK victory, Duran Jr. though had bought his ‘A game’ and was more than happy to go to war with the tough Nicaraguan and after four scintillating all action rounds it was Duran Jr that Referee Adrian Thorne deemed victorious by a 40-37 margine punti.

“Hope to be back soon and see all my new friends and fans once more. Thank you London!"

______________________________________

About The Kiyan Prince Foundation:

The Kiyan Prince Foundation was established in 2008 in memory of Kiyan Prince, Dr Prince’s fifteen-year-old son and a talented footballer who was stabbed in the heart, whilst trying to break up a fight, outside his school gates. This devastating tragedy marked the beginning of a journey which has not only transformed Dr Prince’s life but also equipped him with the knowledge and skills to support families and help prevent similar cases. In this process, he has had to defeat two of life’s toughest challenges – anger and revenge, find the strength to forgive and the commitment to substitute anger with positive life skills.

About Kiyan Prince:

Kiyan Prince was the first son born to Mark Prince and Tracy Cumberbatch on 25th November 1990.

He was an outgoing and well-loved young man who got along with everybody. Teachers, fellow pupils, Queens Park Rangers football team… in fact anyone who came into contact with Kiyan counted it a privilege to have done so.

On May 18th 2006 Kiyan’s life came to a tragic, untimely and unnecessary end. The loving nature, by which he was known, was what made him step in and defend his friend who was being picked on by another youth.

The incident took place outside the gates of his school, the London Academy, located in Edgware North London. Kiyan attempted to resolve the situation in the most peaceable way by directly challenging the aggressor.

The ‘killer’, 16 year old Hannad Hasan, felt that Kiyan had disrespected him because he stood up to him. He then turned and callously killed Kiyan – plunging a knife straight into his chest. Kiyan died of a single, but fatal, stab wound to his heart.

Kiyan, who played for Queens Park Rangers Under-16’s football team. He was dubbed ‘The Bullet’ because of his speed and he was hailed as the next Wayne Rooney… tipped to play for England.

Kiyan was a beautiful, thoughtful, kind and considerate young man. . How he lived was reflected in the way he died… in probably the last words he ever spoke…

Even though he must have been very scared and in pain… in dying he still represented the life he lived. His heart was so full of love and empathy for others. In his final minutes his thoughts were, anche allora, still of others. As he lay bleeding he told his friends: “if these are my last words… tell my Mum I love her.”

Being a professional boxer achieving titles such as the IBF and WBO Inter-continental Light-heavy weight Championship by (1997) and fighting for a world title in 1998, Dr Prince has invaluable skills and experiences that help in the development and transformation of young people’s lives for good. His autobiography The Prince of Peace written by Dr Prince and Paul Zanon is already a best seller.

Collaboration:

The Kiyan Prince Foundation is a project that has seen Dr Prince collaborate with a range of notable individuals, organisations, i media, government officials and celebrities to shine a light on the socio-economic issues impacting on young people and families nationally. He has been involved in the creation and the was the feature of the ITV documentary, “Put the Knives and Guns Down” screened on ITV London Tonight Special; panel member for The News of The World’s “Save Our Streets” campaign; keynote speaker at Metropolitan Police Operation Trident Program; and guest speaker at conferences such as, the NBCPA National Black Crown Prosecutors Association Annual Conference and the National Governor Prison Association Annual Conference.

Recognition and Vision:

In recognition of the significant contribution to the community and fight against knife crime, Dr Prince has received several well-deserved awards e.g. The Children’s Champion Award from Prime Minister Gordon Brown; an Honorary Doctorate Degree from Excel University; and recently in the Queen’s New Year Honours list (2019) to receive an OBE.

It is the foundation’s vision to obtain funding/raise the revenue to deliver#inspiringfuturechampions a campaign which involves delivering powerful messages to every school in London first, with inspirational speakers who are high level influencers amongst young people together with Dr Prince sharing with them how to utilise their strength of will, recognise their potential, individuality, purpose, how to value themselves, come back from adversity and the power of self-belief, which when understood all leads to young people steering clear of guns and knives which is a problem of the mind and not of the knife.

Here is what the fighters had to say Thursday from Toyota Arena:

TONY HARRISON

“I’m hungrier now because of the layoff since the first fight. It hasn’t affected my mindset for one moment. Sparring has been intense for me. That’s where I got the rust off. I was pushed every day with guys trying to knock me out, just like he’s going to try to do.

“Nothing about me is fake. Everything I say, lo faccio. It comes from my heart. The beef between us is real when it comes to my eyes. I don’t like anything about him. The tables turned after what he did right after the first fight. I’m a humble beast and he woke me up.

“I trained in Florida because I needed to be hungry again. I made the changes for me. I was out a year and I had to get mentally correct. He woke me up. I didn’t need to be in Detroit, they know I’m the champ. Now I’m ready to beat you again on Saturday.

“I had three judges who said I won, so I don’t think I have to change anything in my game plan. Sono felice. I don’t care about what him and his team is telling him. I don’t have to do anything different.

“He had 12 rounds and never rocked me, never stumbled me. He gave me everything he has. The same Jermell that you have seen in every fight is the same you’ll see Saturday.

“We’re here once again and once again I’m going to exactly what I have to do. This is what needs to be done to him. I love everything about this. I love everything about the talking, the back and forth, and all the noise.

“Jermell knocked out Jorge Cota, so he’s back on top right? I’m going to humble him again, questo è il mio lavoro. I’m going to ease him of his pain. He acts like he’s the strongest guy in the world, but he’s up against an animal.

“I just have to be myself and win again. He can’t handle someone who’s himself. I’m rattling him every five seconds. I just have to throw the 1-2 off of that and we’re good.”

Jermell Charlo

“He talks a lot but he has to see me Saturday night. You’re going to get the same thing I gave to Jorge Cota. He just gave me more time getting out of the fight in June. I’m much stronger, much better and much faster now.

“I’m a fighter who lives and learns. I know how to progress. It’s okay for me, because I understand how to go down and come back up. When I come back, I come back way harder. They made the true champ come out of me.

“They know he’s not on my level. They know what I possess and what I do. Him not liking me has nothing to do with what I’m going to do Saturday.

“Nothing he’s said has gotten under my skin. It’s unbelievable to think that you could get inside another man’s head who gets in the ring and puts it all on the line for this.

“He will get what he deserves. I’m a man of my word and everyone knows what I do. I’m ‘Mr. Keep Running Your Mouth.’ Questo è quello che faccio.

“I want to knock him out and I’m going to knock him out. I’m going to set up the right shots. I’m going to set up what he’s not going to see. I’m going to show you how to take the belt.

“All I know is that I’m ready to fight. He’s all hype. The only thing fake about him is that injury he put up to get out of the rematch, but we’re here now so its whatever. I’m going to crush him.”

EFE AJAGBA

“I know he has experience and he’s lost to a few good fighters. I’m going to stick to my game plan and I look forward to showing it to everyone on Saturday night

“I have to test him with my jab and see how he reacts. He has movement and has good experience. I’m going to let him get tired and find my spots. Non vedo l'ora di arrivare lì.

“We worked really hard in training camp and I know that I’m getting better every day. This is a good test for me and a good opponent who will make me use what we’ve worked on in training.”

Iago Kiladze

“I know that’s he’s a strong young fighter, but he doesn’t have experience like me. I have more fights and more tough fights. I think that he’s going to try to come forward, but I’ve worked really hard to stop him.

“I’ve worked on my power and I will show it on Saturday night. I believe in myself and I’m going to show everything I’ve worked on in training camp.

“We’re going to take what we’ve been working on in training and bring it into the fight. We know what he’s uncomfortable with and we’re going to take advantage of it.”

KARLOS BALDERAS

“I’m an Olympian for a reason. I’ve faced the best since I was 15. This is a great opportunity for me and I’m going to make the most of it. He knows what’s coming Saturday night.

“I’ve been here before and I’m ready to make a splash. 2020 is my year to shine. I’m ready or the big names. I know what I’m here to do.

“He’s a rugged fighter who comes forward and brings the fight. I’m too experienced for him though. Alla fine, my talent is going to speak for itself. We can say what we want up here, but my talent will speak for itself.”

RENE TELLEZ GIRON

“The only loss I had was a fight I believe I won, but you always learn from a fight. Balderas is a good fighter and I respect him, but he’s in for a war.

“I’ve been in tough fights everywhere so I know what it will be like Saturday. He’s quick in the ring and I’ve watched video on him, but it’s nothing that I won’t be able to overcome.

“I know what he can do and I know that I have everything I need to get this victory. I’m going to take advantage of this opportunity and I know that we’re going to steal the show Saturday.”

THREE UNDEFEATED PROSPECTS IN TOUGH TESTS HIGHLIGHT 250TH EDITION OF SHOBOX: IL VENERDÌ DI NUOVA GENERAZIONE, Gennaio 17

Lascia un commento
Vladimir Shishkin, Shohjahon Ergashev And Ja’Rico O’Quinn in Tripleheader Live on SHOWTIME (10 p.m. ET / PT) Da WinnaVegas Casino di Sloan, Iowa



NEW YORK - Dicembre 19, 2019 – Three talented, undefeated prospects will put their unblemished records on the line in the 250thedizione ShoBox: La nuova generazione, the prospect-oriented series that has featured 81 future world champions, Venerdì, Gennaio 17 in diretta su Showtime (10 p.m. ET / PT) from WinnaVegas Casino Resort in Sloan, Iowa.



Nel main event 10 round, Vladimir Shishkin (9-0, 6 KO), the fast-rising super middleweight prospect currently ranked as the WBC No. 12 contendente, will return for his second consecutive test on ShoBox against the unbeaten Ulises Sierra (15-0-2, 9 KO).



Shakh Ergashev (17-0, 15 KO), Non classificato. 6 by both the WBA and IBF at 140 libbre, will face Adrian Estrella (29-4, 24 KO) in the 10-round super lightweight co-featured bout of the first ShoBox trasmissione televisiva di 2020. In the opener, Detroit native Ja’Rico O’Quinn (13-0-1, 8 KO) faces Nevada’s Oscar Vasquez (15-2-1, 3 KO) in an eight-round super flyweight contest.



I biglietti per l'evento, che è promossa da Promozioni Salita, inizio alle $20 e sono già in vendita su www.WinnaVegas.com.



“Vladimir Shishkin was a stellar amateur with over 300 estremità. We believe he is destined to become a world champion,”Ha dichiarato Gordon Hall, who has been the Executive Producer and steward of ShoBox: La nuova generazione for all 19 years and 250 editions of the cornerstone boxing series. “Shohjahon Ergashev was on prospects to watch lists in 2018 and has lived up to lofty expectations. His aggressive style and punching power make him a fighter who boxing fans want to see. 2020 will be a big year for both fighters. This series was built on giving young, talented fighters national television exposure and we are excited to get a first look at Ja’Rico O’Quinn, a U.S. amateur standout who is an all-action fighter with high expectations.”



“On January 17, boxing fans are going to see some of the best prospects in boxing from big to small,"Detto promotore Dmitriy Salita. “The card features young, hungry fighters in the super flyweight, junior middleweight and super middleweight divisions. Vladimir Shishkin, Shohjahon Ergashev and Ja’Rico O’Quinn are all undefeated, world-rated fighters on their way to national recognition and world titles. Primo, they have to pass the biggest tests of their careers.”



The 28-year-old Shishkin shined in his United States and ShoBox: La nuova generazione debutto nel mese di agosto, registering an eighth-round technical knockout against then once-beaten DeAndre Ware. Standing at 6-foot-1, Shishkin was a standout amateur in Russia where he compiled 301 vince 330 fights before turning professional in 2016. He has won his last four contests – all scheduled 10 o 12 round fights – via knockout, compreso un 10th round TKO of former world title challenger Nadjib Mohammedi prior to his American debut in October 2018. Currently training in Detroit under Javan “Sugar” Hill, Steward at the new Kronk Gym, Shishkin is looking to continue his ascent up the rankings in the super middleweight division with a second consecutive statement win on ShoBox.



“Training with Sugar Hill at Kronk Gym is going really well, and I can guarantee that I will be ready and I will put my newly learned skills to use,” Shishkin said. “I hope for another emphatic victory that impresses the American boxing fans. I’m looking forward to putting on a great fight and letting the champions at 168 know that this is my year.”



The 30-year-old Sierra, from San Diego, Calif., is riding an eight-bout winning streak including a unanimous 10-round decision over Fidel Hernandez for the vacant WBC Silver Super Middleweight Championship in April. The son of former San Diego Padres pitcher Ulises “Candy” Sierra, he has sparred with future Hall of Famers Andre Ward and Canelo Alvarez and former world champion Peter Quillin. Prior to Sierra’s career-best win in April, he won four straight contests in Mexico, di cui tre per KO.



“I’m happy for the opportunity to face a good opponent and I’ll use him as a steppingstone to get where I want to get,” said Sierra. “I still have a month of preparation to get into the best shape of my life. I know Shishkin is undefeated and has a Russian amateur pedigree. It’ll be the hardest fight of my career, but I will do anything and everything to come out victorious.”



Hard-hitter super leggero Shakh Ergashev (17-0, 15 KO), dell'Uzbekistan, è classificato nella top-15 in tre delle quattro principali organi sanzionatori. The 28-year-old is coming off an impressive fourth-round knockout of veteran Abdiel Ramirez this past August onShoBox. Nelle sue precedenti apparizioni in serie evolutiva prospettiva, the former member of the Uzbek national team scored a third-round knockout against then top-10 rated Sonny Fredrickson, e una decisione unanime di 10 round oltre precedentemente imbattuta Mykal Fox. The powerful southpaw currently trains alongside stablemate Shishkin in Detroit.



“I am adding new dimensions to my game and plan on making a big statement in the first ShoBox of the year,” said Ergashev. “2020 is going to be my year and I am going to set the tone in my fight with Estrella.”



Stella, who hails from Monterrey, Messico, è diventato professionista nel 2010 e ha vinto 22 consecutive fights before he suffered his first setback in 2015. With just seven of his 33 pro fights going the full distance, Estrella is an all-action fighter typical of his Mexican roots. He earned a career-best win, a closely-contested split decision over Oscar Duarte, nella sua U.S. debut in February. Estrella will face his fourth undefeated prospect in his last five fights as he looks to get his career back on track with a win over the highly-regarded Ergashev.



“This is an opportunity I’m going to take full advantage of,” said Estrella. “I’ve been in camp for the last two months, so I’ll be in perfect shape to go in there and do my thing. I know Ergashev is a southpaw and a hard puncher with a big KO record, but I’ve been in this situation before. I have too much experience for him. Knowing that if I win this fight I could get a world title shot is all the motivation I need.”



The 24-year-old O’Quinn is rated No. 10 nel mondo dal WBO. Ranked as the No.1 amateur bantamweight in the country compiling a record of 130-18 prima di diventare professionista in 2015, O'Quinn vanta mani velocissime e la capacità di lanciare combinazioni senza sforzo. Uno dei preferiti dai fan nella sua città natale di Detroit, he was last seen winning a unanimous decision over James Smith of Flint, Mich., nel mese di ottobre.



“The time has finally come,disse O'Quinn. “It’s my time to show the world who the king is on live TV. For those that don’t know, Gennaio 17, I’m going to show the world greatness in is purest form. They are going to see charisma, skills and explosiveness. I know I’m fighting a tough competitor. Non sta venendo a stabilire. I’m coming prepared for war. It’s going to be a great night for boxing in the super flyweight division. I’m putting all the champions on notice.”



Vasquez, from Reno, Nev., is a former streaking prospect in the super flyweight division. After losing his third professional fight, the 5-foot Vasquez rattled off thirteen consecutive wins between 2012 e 2017 and was well on his way to making a name for himself in the division before a unanimous decision loss to once-beaten Ricardo Sandoval in May 2018 halted his momentum. After a year-and-a-half layoff, Vasquez returned by fighting Gilberto Mendoza to a majority draw in October. A 32 anni, the hungry Vasquez finds himself in a do-or-die fight against O’Quinn.



“Training in Reno is going amazing,” said Vasquez. “It’s such a tremendous opportunity for my life. I’m trying to get to a high ranking and it’s a dream come true. I know O’Quinn is undefeated. He’s a boxer who likes to grab a lot. He doesn’t like pressure. I’m hoping I will tire him out. I think he’ll eventually give in as the fight goes on if I put on a lot of pressure. Nelle fasi successive, he won’t even want to come out of his corner.”

Below are quotes from the inductees, or those representing inductees, with pictures:

CLASSE DI 2019



MARK BRELAND

Mark Breland: “I enjoy boxing, it’s a lot of fun. I’m glad to be here because I’ve seen a lot of fighters I grew up with in the amateurs. I enjoy boxing because it kept me off the streets. I wasn’t a street guy., My father would have beaten me up if I had gotten into trouble in the streets. Boxing kept me off the streets, kept me in the gym. I guess I was good at it. I had a fight with a bully when I was 14 and I beat him up. I went to the gym the same day and my coach asked me what happened. My knuckles were shredded with blood. I told him I had a fight in the street. He said you can’t fight in the street. Then I realized boxing and street fighting are two different things.

Shelly Finkel (his manager), when he came into my life, changed a lot of things. Things changed a lot. I focused more on boxing, focused on the Olympic Games, and won championships. Every tournament I went into, Ho vinto, but it was a lot of fun. I wanted to inspire youths. I hope I can inspire some amateurs coming up. To keep going, stay off the streets, and do something that can change your life in a good way., Eddie Futch for life!”



JOE FRAZIER

Marvis Frazier(Joe’s son, nella foto): “It is so good today to speak about my father, what he meant to me, and Joe Frazier always said to me, ‘There’s no right way to do wrong, no wrong way to do right.’ Lui ha detto, if you don’t do right, you’re going to smell this, putting his left fist right to my nose. When it was time for me to do bad, it wasn’t me, wasn’t Marvis Frazier. Così, oggi, I’m still smelling it even if he’s not here.

“I just love to talk boxing. As an amateur I was 46-1 and then when I turned pro, I beat the guy who had knocked me out. I love my father. He was a good guy and a champion. I know everybody know Muhammad Ali and I know everybody know ‘Smokin’ Joe Frazier.”



AL MITCHELL

Al Mitchell: “I got rid of anybody over 16 who didn’t want to go to school. I’ve been doing this the longest time and I want to thank the coaches. I had three or four who didn’t care about boxing, but they wanted their kids to get an education. Izzy Acosta is one. I got a perfect record at Marquette High, they’ve all graduated. I have four kids with master’s degrees, Ho avuto 14 who have degrees, and four guys who are policemen and no way they should be policemen. Io sono BENEDETTO.

“Old coaches would tell one you’re only as good as your memories. It’s crazy with kids 14, 14, 15. I had a kid named Vernon Forrest, a four-time world champion., It’s not just about boxing. It’s getting an education and after ten years they have a good life. I want to thank you all for putting me in the Hall of Fame.”




Michael Rodgers (Ray’s son): “Primo, I want to apologize for my father for not being here. He hurt his back over the weekend working a boxing match, believe it or not, and he apologizes for not being here.

“I want to thank USA Boxing and the Alumni Association for recognizing my father for this award. And when he heard about this, he said he didn’t do any of these things during the 72 years he’s been in the sport for awards. He just did what he did for the love this sport and he did what needed to be done.”

USA BOXING ALUMNI ASSOCIATION



Mike McAtee, Direttore esecutivo, USA Boxing (nella foto): “On behalf of the Board of Directors, President Tyson Lee, I can only say thank you, grazie, and thank you. Stasera, is a culmination of work between our members, our alumni association, but I have to recognize a couple of people. This great event wouldn’t be done without Chris Cugliari, Al Valenti and Nicole Anderson, our Alumni Association Coordinator.

“I have the honor of talking about boxing and obviously we have passion. When Marvis Frazier said this was a brotherhood, a sisterhood, and none of us, quite frankly, who’ve stepped in the ring – I include myself in that – we’re not right. Takes a special person to climb in the ropes. You all can give yourselves a hand for not being right.

“USA Boxing is proud of our history, but more proud of our future, and I can tell you the young men and women battling at the elite levels, we started at 104 and that will be taken down to 13 by Sunday evening. Ma, ma ancora più importante, we’re going to be breeding the next generation of champions, because this is closing the chapter of 2020, but starting the chapter of 2024, and ultimately, when the Olympic Games comeback here in 2028. This is a special time.”



Chris Tofflemire, Direttore esecutivo, USA Boxing Alumni Association: “Three years ago a group of us sat around a table in Kansas City at the National Championships and this idea was hatched: John Brown, Al Valenti, John Scully, Christy Halbert, Mike McAtee and a few others. Così, it’s something I’m very proud of and an organization I’m proud to lead with the support of all of you.

“A quick update of the Alumni Association, we’re at about 1200 members right now and this is our third year. We had events across the country the past year, honoring Micky Ward and Vinny Pazianza in the New England area. We gathered in Chicago. We honored Izzy Acosta at the Junior Olympics in Wisconsin, as well as Buster Douglas and coach Mike Stafford at the Ohio Legends celebration, and here we are today honoring our third Hall of Fame class. We’ve come a long way. Our theme in 2020 is two missions: Primo, we want to take this down to the grassroots level, second is supporting our athletes and their families as they travel to the 2020 Olympic Games.”



Al Valenti, Special Projects Consultant for USA Boxing: “USA Boxing is the one fundamental difference that makes a difference in a young person’s life. The path to self-confidence, the path to self-respect, disciplina, vittoria, and how to accept defeat all comes through amateur boxing.

“Stasera, the story will be told. Stasera, we will take you on a path, of amateur boxing in the United States that rivals no other nation. Gold medalists, silver medalists, allenatori, funzionari, dottori…they’re all here. It’s like Woodstock for boxing; everybody’s here!”



Al Bernstein, Master of Ceremonies: “I’m delighted to be back here for my third year at USA Boxing’s Alumni Association Hall of Fame. I hosted a lot of events, MC’d a lot of events, and this is the final event because it’s in the end of December. It’s definitely my favorite.”

SAN ANTONIO, TX (Dicembre 17, 2019) – WBA super lightweight champion, Mario “L'azteco” Quartieri (25-0, 16 KO), continues to receive accolades from his hometown of San Antonio, Texas. Nel settembre 28, 2019, Barrios defeated Batyr Akhmedov, winning the vacant WBA World Title, becoming the first world champion from San Antonio nell'ultimo 25 anni.

Oggi, Barrios was honored with a special recognition at the Commissioners Court. Commissioner Justin Rodriguez from Bexar County, Precinct 2, who sponsored the ceremony, was joined by his colleagues on Commissioners Court in San Antonio and presented Barrios with a proclamation.

“It’s an honor to be recognized by the Commissioners Court here in my hometown of San Antonio,” Detto Barrios. “It’s been a nice ride since winning my world title. I’ve been meeting some very influential people, and these are individuals that are making a difference in San Antonio. Today was incredible and I want to thank everyone for all their support.”

Barrios has been active in his community since becoming a world champion. In Ottobre, Barrios joined Shoe Palace and gave way shoes to thirty families at the Boys and Girls Club.

“I think being a positive role model is important, so I’m going to join forces with everyone, to help make San Antonio a better place for our youth,” Barrios continua. “Building a strong community is what’s important at the end of the day, and I’ll be here to help out. Presto, I’ll be having a big fight in San Antonio, and I’m going to make sure tickets are priced reasonable so everyone can come out and enjoy the fights. It would be nice to see the support from the fans, that’s what gets me excited. I cant wait to fight in San Antonio.”
