"Je passe encore beaucoup de temps à la maison," a fait remarquer Kilic. « Pendant la pandémie, J'ai vécu avec ma famille en Allemagne, et j'ai beaucoup de famille en Turquie. C'était très dur de grandir. J'avais toujours rêvé de vivre aux États-Unis en regardant des films. Je voulais faire quelque chose de différent. Je suis un grand fan des films hollywoodiens. Muhammad Ali est mon idole et c'est une autre raison pour laquelle je voulais venir ici pour boxer.

"Je ne parlais pas anglais quand je suis arrivé en Amérique, seulement les bases, et personne que j'ai rencontré ici ne parlait allemand ou turc. mais j'ai appris l'anglais en regardant de vieux films et en utilisant le traducteur Google. j'ai appris vite, bien que, et était à l'aise de parler anglais en six mois.

Ma femme a dit que je devais me remettre en forme, alors j'ai regardé une vidéo de formation sur YouTube et, d'abord, Je n'ai pas pu passer l'échauffement. Mais je me suis lentement remis en forme et cela a ravivé mon intérêt pour la boxe. Je n'avais pas de promoteur et je me suis séparé de mon manager et entraîneur. J'ai été formé par un ami et je suis allé chez Abel Sanchez à Big Bear et j'ai obtenu du bon travail. J'ai combattu beaucoup de champions: Jermell Charlo, (Gilberto) 'Gaucher' Ramirez, Callum Smith, et David Benavidez.

(L) Cem Kilic est le combattant d'un combattant

Un combattant agressif autoproclamé avec une mentalité de guerrier, Kilic dit que feu Arturo Gatti était l'un de ses combattants préférés, qu'il imite en termes de style. Cem a regardé le Gatti-(Mickey) Trilogie Ward sur 20 fois, qui l'a conduit à la boxe comme carrière.

"Je connaissais Gatti, mais je me suis vraiment mis à la boxe après avoir regardé ses combats avec Micky Ward,» se souvient affectueusement Kilic. "Ils étaient si durs, et j'aime la façon dont ils se sont battus. Ils étaient des combattants de retour dans les années 40 et 50. »

L'équipe actuelle Kilic a été formée après sa seule défaite. Il est formé par 4 temps, 2-champion du monde de division Brian Viloria, en plus d'être géré (3PM), qui gère également 43-0 "Gaucher" Ramirez, l'ancien champion du monde des super-moyens, actuellement le meilleur concurrent mondial des poids lourds légers.

"Je connaissais Brian et je l'ai rencontré à Brickhouse,” Kilic a expliqué. "Un jour, j'ai dit à mon entraîneur de force et de conditionnement physique que j'avais besoin d'un nouvel entraîneur et je lui ai demandé de parler de moi à Brian.. J'aimais Brian et je savais qu'il était un champion du monde avec beaucoup de connaissances. Nous n'avons travaillé ensemble que pour un combat, mais je me suis amélioré à bien des égards.

"J'attendais une opportunité de signer avec un manager et je l'ai fait avec 15h. Les gars sont super et je suis beaucoup plus motivé qu'avant. C'était incroyable.

Kilic est prêt à afficher son développement sous Viloria et 15 heures ce jeudi soir contre Hernandez. "Je ne peux pas attendre," a conclu Kilic. "Il a combattu quelques bons noms (Caleb usine, Jesse Hart, Ali Akhmedov, Ahmed Elbiali, Patrick Teixeira, et Arif Magomedov). Je me prépare toujours à parcourir toute la distance. Je n'entre jamais dans un combat à la recherche d'un KO, mais je cherche des ouvertures.”

Le Flint, Michigan, middleweight prospect Holmes (12-0, 5 KOs) remained undefeated fighting past the eighth round for the first time in his career even while hurting his left hand sometime in the second round during a flurry of punches. Les scores étaient 98-92, 97-93, 96-94 as Holmes seemed to get his second wind as the fight progressed over Chicago’s Brown (13-2, 9 KOs).

(Holmes scores unanimous decision, clicICI)

“I was reborn tonight,” Holmes said. “This performance showed that I still have it in me. I hurt my left hand in the second round. I couldn’t punch how I wanted to. I was in a bunch of pain but I pulled through. Thinking about my family pushed me through the pain.”

The 27-year-old southpaw Holmes had a 194-129 edge in total punches while landing more than 40 pour cent de ses coups de puissance. Un total de 280 of the combined 323 total punches landed were power punches.

"Il était le meilleur homme ce soir,” Brown said. “I give it up to him. He studied me. He knew the punches I was going to throw. His corner kept yelling, ‘Watch the right hook.’ He did knock the wind out of me a couple times with body shots. I had to take a second to recover. In the last round, he was catching me with head shots.

“I need to work on my left hand. I need to be like Manny Pacquiao and work on my left hand because guys know I have power in my right hook. But I’m going down to 147. That’s my true weight.”

Holmes said no matter how much Brown hurt him, he was going to push through the pain. “I was rusty. I believe I need another fight to get the rust off. My timing wasn’t there. I’ve been off for like 800 journées, but this fight showed that I have a lot of heart. I want Paul Kroll next. He was talking a lot of junk against me. We have a history in the amateurs. He’s who I want.”

En cas de co-principal, heavy-hitting lightweightEdwin de los santos (14-1, 13 KOs) scored a devastating second-round knockout againstLuis Acosta (12-1, 11 KOs), who suffered the first loss of his career.Acosta became the 211^e fighter to have his undefeated streak snapped in the 21-year history of the prospect series.

“One-hitter quitter for De Los Santos!"ShoBox analysteBrian Campbellsaid of De Los Santos’ clean left cross that sent Acosta to the canvas as referee Mark Nelson signaled the end of the fight at 48 seconds in the second round.

“It was a left hand that was just a thing of beauty,” said International Boxing Hall of Famer andShoBoxblow-by-blow announcerBarry Tompkins.

Dominican Republic’s De Los Santos landed 19 punches before scoring the fight-ending knockout in his secondShoBox appearance.

"Je suis de retour,", a déclaré De Los Santos, who suffered a loss in his first SHOBOX appearance in January to William Foster III. “Everyone was counting me out after the last fight. They thought I was done after the loss to Foster. But I’m back. This is the kind of statement that I should have made last time. This is a new beginning for me. I thought I was going to catch him later in the fight but the opening came early with the straight left. My preparation was just better this time, I was just more focused and better prepared and this was the result. I’m ready for anyone.”

Dans l'ouvreur télédiffusé, highly regarded prospectGiovanni Márquez (1-0) became the seventh fighter in the history ofShoBoxto make his professional debut on the series, extending the streak to 7-0 in those bouts as Marquez scored a four-round unanimous decision over a gameNelson Morales. Les scores étaient 40-36, et 39-37 twice in the welterweight bout.

(Marquez scores unanimous decision, clicICI)

“I felt great,”A déclaré Marquez. “I hurt my left hand in the second round on a jab. I think I would have been able to stop him if I hadn’t hurt my hand.”

With his father and trainer, ancien champion du mondeRaul Marquez, barking instructions from his corner, Houston’s Márquez – the 2021 national Golden Gloves 152-pound champion – dominated the welterweight affair, displaying his offensive skills and using his jab and uppercut effectively as the quicker and busier fighter. Marquez landed 30 pour cent de ses coups totaux (85 pour 280) compared to Morales at 21 pour cent (42 à 201).

“All the attention, it’s really not normal for a 21-year-old,” said the elder Marquez, as he joined Tompkins and Campbell in the booth before the main event. “He handled all the pressure. I’m really proud of my son. I’m very satisfied.”

Added Giovanni: “It was a great experience. He was a tough, gars durable, but I feel like I handled everything, the cameras, all the attention pretty well. I started a little slow but after the first round I settled down and fought my fight. I felt fine without the headgear. We kept bumping heads, but he never hurt me. There was a lot of pressure on me, and I was a little nervous in the leadup to the fight, but once I got into the fight I relaxed and I felt comfortable. Global, it was a great experience.”

Following a competitive first round, the 21-year-old Marquez dominated the second round, his confidence surging with every second that passed against the Dominican-born Morlaes.

“I think I did OK,” said the 30-year-old Dominican Republic-born Morales (2-1) now living in Scranton, Pennsylvanie. “My strategy was to go in and box. He cut the ring off and applied good pressure. I can’t say too much because it wasn’t the best of me. He was OK. Je reviendrai."

The six other fighters’ victorious in theirShoBox pro debut include Dominic Breazeale, Marcus Browne, Terrell Gausha, Errol Spence Jr., Rau’Shee Warren and Gary Russell, Jr.

International Boxing Hall of Famer Tompkins called the action from ringside alongside former world champion Marquez and renowned combat sports authority Campbell serving as expert analysts.

ORLANDO, Fla. - Février 18, 2022 - Jamaine “The Technician”Ortiz used his superior hand and foot speed to dance and dish out punishment against gameNahir Albright to win the vacant NABF title in the main event ofShoBox: La Nouvelle Génération as part of an action-packed doubleheader onAFFICHER L'HEUREVendredi soir au Caribe Royale Resort.

Ortiz (15-0-1, 8 KOs) sailed to a unanimous decision win by scores of 98-92, 97-93 et 97-93 to remain undefeated and stamp his name as a player in a loaded lightweight division. CliquezICI to watch video of the decision.

Whether he was walking Albright (14-2, 7 KOs) down or punching on the move, Ortiz produced a dominant and flashy performance over 10 tours, wowing a crowd that included former light heavyweight championAntonio Tarver and San Francisco 49ers All-Pro offensive linemanTrent Williams.

After he was dropped twice in his last fight against Joseph Adorno in a majority draw in April, Ortiz looked more poised and patient in the early going, picking his punches carefully and hitting and moving while avoiding Albright’s big right hand.

As the difference in speed became apparent, Ortiz began to open up in the second after he scored with a big left that caught Albright clean. De ce point sur, Ortiz maintained control of the distance and pace, leaping at Albright with lefts and rights or peppering him with jabs.

“I think I showed maturity in this fight,” Ortiz said. “I was cautious in the beginning. I didn’t want to get caught like I did in my last fight. After I took the first couple rounds to feel him out, I saw that I could do whatever I wanted in there and I started to get into a groove and let my punches go.”

Ortiz, de Worcester, Massachusetts, a atterri 48% (103 de 216) de ses coups de puissance, par rapport à 41% for Albright (88 de 216), but it was his body punching that produced the biggest numerical disparity. Ortiz out-landed Albright 42 à 4 to the body, showcasing that aspect of his game in the fifth round when he found a home for several thudding body shots. Afterward, Ortiz called out the power-puncher Rolly Romero (14-0, 12 KOs) as the opponent he wants to face next.

“He’s got a big name,” Ortiz said. “He’s a big puncher, but he can’t box. That would be an easy fight. My goal is to have a title eliminator and to win a title. Après cela, my goal is to be one of the top pound-for-pound fighters in the sport.”

Ortiz’s signature round was the sixth, when he showcased his footwork and speed, darting around the ring and landing rights and lefts. He connected with an overhand right on the run while New Jersey’s Albright was on the ropes and then landed several unanswered right uppercuts to punctuate the round.

Albright, an aspiring R&B singer, showed his toughness and resilience by trying to match Ortiz’s output each round. He had success in spurts, but it was fleeting. In the ninth, he landed a pair of overhand rights, only for Ortiz to use his footwork to avoid taking further punishment.

“He was the better man in there tonight,” an emotional Albright said. “It was a great experience and I saw a different look. I know that I have all the talent and ability, and this will not deter me at all from being a world champion.”

Dans l'ouvreur télédiffusé, Paul Kroll etMarquis Taylor fought to a spirited split draw in their eight-round super welterweight bout by scores of 77-75 for Kroll, 80-72 for Taylor and 76-76 in a verdict that frustrated both fighters. CliquezICI to watch video of the decision.

Before the bout, Philly’s Kroll spoke of the little respect he had for Taylor’s power, since Taylor only had one knockout on his ledger, but it was Taylor who was the harder and busier puncher in the contest, relying on a check left hook that continually found its mark.

Houston’s Taylor connected on 34% of his power punches compared to 29% for Kroll, outscoring him 98 à 71 and out-landing him 109 à 84 au total des coups.

Taylor (12-1-2, 1 KO) staggered Kroll (9-0-1, 6 KOs) in the sixth with the biggest punch of the fight, a left that caused Kroll to fall against the ropes as Taylor followed up with digging shots to the body.

“I thought I had it for sure,” Taylor said. “I thought I had the fight in the bag. I don’t know what the judges saw. I was being the aggressor and I landed the clearer shots. I thought I really had that fight with no questions. I don’t know what else I could’ve done.”

The busier and fresher fighter, Taylor didn’t sit in between rounds and at times had to be restrained by his trainer from running to the middle of the ring before his minute of rest was up.

Normally a patient and technically sound fighter, Kroll, a former amateur star who won the 2016 U.S.. Essais de boxe olympique, went after Taylor in the first, throwing a wild right hand that continually missed its mark.

Kroll fought well in spurts and with urgency in the eighth and final round, but Taylor was ready for him.

“I thought I won the fight 5-3,” Kroll said. “I took the beginning and the end. He won a couple rounds in the middle. We can run it back on the next ShoBox. I am ready to fight him again. He was awkward, but I outworked him on the inside. I won that fight.”
