“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 відсотків його ударів влади. A total of 280 of the combined 323 total punches landed were power punches.
"Він був кращою людиною сьогодні,” 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 днів, 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.”

“It was a left hand that was just a thing of beauty,” said International Boxing Hall of Famer andShoBoxblow-by-blow announcerБаррі Томпкинс.
Dominican Republic’s De Los Santos landed 19 punches before scoring the fight-ending knockout in his secondShoBox appearance.
"Я повернувся,” said 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. Це новий початок для мене. 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.”
У телеконвекторі, 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.

“I felt great,” said 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, колишній чемпіон світуРауль Маркес, 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 відсотків його загального обсягу ударів (85 для 280) compared to Morales at 21 відсотків (42 для 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, витривалий хлопець, 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. Загальний, 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, Пенсільванія. “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. I’ll be back.”
The six other fighters’ victorious in theirShoBox pro debut include Dominic Breazeale, Маркус Браун, Террелл Gausha, Еррол Спенс молодший, Rau’Shee Warren and Gary Russell, Молодший.

Орландо, Флорида. - лютий 18, 2022 - Jamaine “The Technician”Ортіс 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: Нове покоління as part of an action-packed doubleheader onЧАС ДЛЯ ШОУ Friday night at the Caribe Royale Resort.
Ортіс (15-0-1, 8 КО) sailed to a unanimous decision win by scores of 98-92, 97-93 і 97-93 to remain undefeated and stamp his name as a player in a loaded lightweight division. НатиснітьОСЬ to watch video of the decision.
Whether he was walking Albright (14-2, 7 КО) down or punching on the move, Ortiz produced a dominant and flashy performance over 10 раундів, wowing a crowd that included former light heavyweight championАнтоніо Тарвер and San Francisco 49ers All-Pro offensive linemanTrent Williams. НатиснітьОСЬ to watch highlights of the ninth round.
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. From that point on, 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.”
Ортіс, of Worcester, Масса., приземлився 48% (103 з 216) його силових ударів, у порівнянні з 41% for Albright (88 з 216), but it was his body punching that produced the biggest numerical disparity. Ortiz out-landed Albright 42 для 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 КО) 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. Після того, 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.”
У телеконвекторі, Paul Kroll іMarquis 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. НатиснітьОСЬ 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 для 71 and out-landing him 109 для 84 у загальній кількості ударів.
Тейлор (12-1-2, 1 KO) staggered Kroll (9-0-1, 6 КО) 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. Олімпійського боксу випробувань, 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.”
