Préparant le terrain pour boxeuses…..
Claressa Shields
“USA Boxing est la famille!”
Association des anciens de boxe Etats-Unis, Une sorte de 2018 intronisé

COLORADO SPRINGS, Tour. (Décembre 3, 2018) – médaillé d'or olympique à deux reprises Claressa Shields non seulement est le fer de lance d'une nouvelle vague dans la boxe féminine, elle est devenue un véritable modèle pour d'innombrables jeunes.

 

 

 

Shields seront intronisés au Temple de la renommée Association ce vendredi soir des anciens de boxe États-Unis à Salt Lake City, ainsi que la classe de 2018 membres Roy Jones Jr. et, Andre Ward, ainsi que la fin Emanuel Stewartet Tom Cleary.

 

 

 

La deuxième annuelle de l'Association des anciens Etats-Unis de boxe Hall of Fame réception, tenue conjointement avec le 2018 USA Boxing Elite et Championnats nationaux de la jeunesse et junior et préparation ouverte, Décembre 2-8, aura lieu Décembre 7, à l'Hôtel Radisson (215 S. Temple Saint) à Salt Lake City, Utah.

 

 

 

“Je suis honoré,” Shields a parlé d'être intronisé l'Association des anciens de boxe USA Hall of Fame,” je suis seulement 23 ans et d'être intronisé au boxe Etats-Unis Hall of Fame est un grand honneur, mais aussi un choc pour moi. Je crois que je suis digne de tout honneur, mais je sais que les choses prennent du temps, et j'ai toujours pensé que je mettrais dans le Temple de la renommée à l'âge 40 ou 50. Ceci est un gros problème pour moi et je me sens tellement honoré. Juste pour que mon nom soit mentionné à côté des noms de grands noms comme Andre Ward et Roy Jones me motive vraiment. Je me sens privilégié!”

 

 

 

La fierté de Flint, Michigan, Shields a déjà réussi à transformer avec succès son succès amateur dans les rangs professionnels, dans lequel elle est 7-0 (2), et le champion unifié (IBF, WBA & WBC) champion du monde poids moyen.

 

 

 

Shields a terminé sa carrière amateur avec une incroyable 77-1 (18 KOs) record, mis en évidence par ses performances-médaillés d'or olympiques 2012 et 2016. Elle n'a pas perdu dans le ring depuis 2012, quand Savannah Marshall (Angleterre) gagné sur les points, 14-8, aux Championnats du monde en Chine.

 

 

 

“USA Boxing est entré dans ma vie deux fois champion olympique junior,” Claressa a expliqué sa relation Etats-Unis de boxe. “L'aide des Etats-Unis de boxe était si important: me remarquer en tant que jeune athlète et sachant que je serais une jeune femme forte pour représenter les Etats-Unis à l'avenir; réunion Julie Goldsticker, qui a été une bénédiction pour moi comme elle m'a aidé avec beaucoup comme un adolescent, et avoir juste l'entraîneur Abdullah, entraîneur Al Mitchell, et entraîneur Gloria Peek me apprendre différents styles et comment utiliser tous mes attributs. USA Boxing m'a béni avec beaucoup d'amitiés de connaissances et de longue vie avec tous mes coéquipiers et les entraîneurs olympiques olympiques. Mon entraîneur préféré, Koroma, littéralement était avec moi le chemin à travers 2015-2016, me aider en dehors du ring avec des conseils et à l'intérieur de l'anneau.”

 

 

 

Shields est l'une des forces motrices de la boxe féminine aujourd'hui, porter le flambeau remis au large par les pionniers de la boxe féminine américaine tels que Christy Martin, Laila Ali et quelques autres.

 

 

 

“Il y a un grand changement se passe en ce moment — moi, Mikaela Mayer, Les équipages FRANCHON, Katie Taylor, Amanda Serrano et quelques autres femmes portent le flambeau de la boxe féminine en ce moment,” Shields a expliqué. “Des progrès ont été rapides, chaque réseau a eu un combat des femmes à la télévision cette année, en particulier Showtime, sur lequel je barricadés quatre fois l'événement principal. La boxe féminine peut aller loin. Je crois que le jour viendra où nous pouvons être payé des millions, tout comme les hommes.”

 

 

 

En ouvrant les portes et à faire tomber les obstacles, Claressa est devenu un véritable modèle pour les jeunes partout, dans et hors de la boxe.

 

 

 

“On se sent bien d'être un modèle pour les (femelles), et aussi pour tant de boxeurs masculins,” Shields note. “La boxe est dans une autre époque et je veux juste pour le rendre plus facile pour les filles à venir, alors quand ils se tournent pro, la boxe sera plus proche de l'égalité.”

 

 

 

“Claressa est l'une des plus grandes histoires de l'histoire de la boxe amateur,” dit Chris Tofflemire, Association des anciens Etats-Unis de boxe Directeur exécutif. “son disque, engagement, Talent, et le caractère lui a fait une USA Boxing et champion olympique, laissant un héritage qui va durer très longtemps. Elle est une pionnière pour la boxe féminine et a établi sa place comme l'un des membres les plus influents Etats-Unis de boxe de tous les temps anciens. L'Association des anciens de boxe Etats-Unis veut la remercier pour inspirer la communauté de boxe amateur et de servir comme un grand modèle pour la prochaine génération de champions.”

En dépit de tous les honneurs et récompenses, elle a si richement reçu, Shields n'a pas oublié d'où tout a commencé, et elle est toujours activement impliqué aux Etats-Unis de boxe.

 

 

 

“Je garde en contact avec un grand nombre des athlètes féminines et de leur donner des conseils si elles me demandent,” Claressa ajouté. “Je suis aussi allé pendant cinq jours au Colorado pour être un facteur de motivation et conférencier d'honneur pour le prochain espoir olympique. Après ma carrière est terminée dans environ 15 ans, Je veux être un entraîneur de boxe et diriger l'équipe des femmes à plus de médailles d'or olympiques, si on leur donne l'occasion. Je veux aussi être un professeur d'école et un conseiller pour les jeunes.”

 

 

 

Shields, malheureusement, est incapable d'assister à cette salle de réception de la renommée de vendredi soir parce qu'elle est dans la formation profonde pour ses titres défense ce samedi soir sur HBO, en direct du Centre StubHub à Carson, Californie, contre Fenmke Hermans (9-1).

 

 

 

“Malheureusement,” Shields a conclu, “Je ne peux pas être là, mais, Si j'étais là, je dirais: Merci aux Etats-Unis de boxe de croire en moi à l'âge de 16. Ce fut un honneur de représenter l'Amérique, non seulement une fois mais deux fois dans les Jeux Olympiques! Je remercie l'entraîneur Gamelle (Walsh) pour me faire creuser en profondeur, en ayant à faire face à ses voies irlandaises et blagues, aussi pour changer la culture des Etats-Unis de boxe. Un grand merci à l'entraîneur Kay, également, Je ne peux pas compter sur mes mains combien de jours nous avons formé à 1 du matin, combien de fois je frappais à la porte de sa chambre et a couru, combien de fois il a dû prendre mon téléphone de moi parce que je pleurais ou d'avoir un problème de famille. Il est l'entraîneur que je pouvais tout dire à, et il m'a béni avec sa connaissance de la boxe et m'a fait sentir toujours en sécurité en moi-même quand il était dans le coin. USA Boxing est non seulement le personnel – USA Boxing est la famille! Même si j'ai eu quelques mots avec Matthew Johnson et autres membres du personnel, Je les remercie d'être dur sur moi et en vous assurant mes responsabilités je me suis occupé. L'amour à tout le personnel de boxe Etats-Unis, Je suis vraiment reconnaissant.”

 

 

 

Claressa Shields est beaucoup plus que le champion olympique et mondial, elle est un acte de classe et, exactement ce qui est si désespérément besoin aujourd'hui.

LOS ANGELES (Décembre. 1, 2018) – Deontay “The Bronze Bomber” Wilder and Tyson “The Gypsy King” Fury fought to a split-decision draw on SHOWTIME PPV® on Saturday night from STAPLES Center​ ​in​ ​arguably ​one of the best heavyweight fights in years​.​

 

 

 

After controlling the WBC World Championship fight early, Fureur (27-0-1, 19 KOs) miraculously overcame two knockdowns by Wilder (40-0-1, 39 KOs) – including one in round 12 – in the improbable draw. Les juges ont noté le combat 115-111 for Wilder, 114-112 for Fury and 113-113.

 

 

 

“I think with the two knockdowns I definitely won the fight,” said Wilder, who has recorded a knockdown in each of his 41 pro fights and was defending his WBC belt for the eighth time since 2015. “We poured our hearts out tonight. We’re both warriors, but with those two drops I think I won the fight.”

 

 

Fury saw it differently, stating that he gave it everything he had.

 

 

 

“We’re on away soil, I got knocked down twice, but I still believe I won that fight,” said England’s Fury, whose amazing comeback continues following a two and a half-year absence from the sport from drug and alcohol addiction and mental health issues.​ “I hope I did you all proud after nearly three years out of the ring. I was never going to be knocked down tonight. I showed good heart to get up. I came here tonight and I fought my heart out.​”​

 

 

It was an electrifying night with an attendance announced at 17,698 les fans, which included Hollywood stars and fight fans like former Lakers greats Shaquille O’Neal, Jerry West, former NFL stars Michael Strahan and Michael Irvin, and ​boxing ​legends Evander Holyfield and Floyd Mayweather.

 

 

 

Fureur, who out-landed Wilder 84-71 global, was caught by a short right hand by Wilder just behind the left ear to drop Fury for the third time in his career in the ninth round. Then in the 12th, a Wilder right hand and left hook combination sent the 6-foot-9 Fury down again, hitting his head on the canvas. De nouveau, he managed to ​stand​ up and referee Jack Reiss let him continue to fight.

 

 

 

“Boxing is always the theater of the unexpected, and that’s what we had tonight,” SHOWTIME expert analyst Al Bernstein said.

 

 

 

Bernstein said seeing Fury get up and continue to fight after the brutal knockdown was “one of the most astonishing things I’ve ever seen in the boxing ring.”

 

 

 

SHOWTIME boxing historian and commentator Steve Farhood had Fury controlling the early rounds and Fury winning rounds 3-8, and ultimately scored the fight, 115-111.

 

 

 

Because of a rematch clause, both fighters were asked if they would like to do it again. “I would love for it to be my next fight," Wilder a dit. “Why not? Let’s give the fans what they want to see. It was a great fight and let’s do it again. It doesn’t matter to me where we do it.”

 

 

 

“​One hundred​ percent we’ll do the rematch,” said Fury, fighting in the first heavyweight title pay-per-view bout in America since 2002. “We are two great champions. Me and this man are the two best heavyweights on the planet.”

 

 

 

Wilder said he came out slow and rushed his punches. “I didn’t sit still. I was too hesitant. I started overthrowing the right hand and I just couldn’t adjust.”

 

 

 

Fureur, fighting for the third time this year with 26-year-old trainer Ben Davison in his corner, also had former boxing great Ricky Hatton and seven-time Trainer of the Year Freddie Roach in his corner.

 

 

 

In the lead-up fight to Wilder-Fury, “Swift” Jarrett Hurd (23-0, 16 KOs) defended his 154-pound IBF and WBA world title belts with a fourth-round knockout against United Kingdom’s James Welborn (24-7, 7 KOs), who was fighting for the first time on American soil.

 

 

Welborn was the aggressor in the first minute of the fourth round, sending Hurd to the ropes with punch after punch to the body and head. Suddenly realizing he might be in trouble, Hurd of Accokeek, Maryland, countered back from sudden adversity in dramatic fashion and sent Welborn back-tracking before a devastating body punch sent him to one knee. He was counted out at 1:55 by referee Lou Moret, who was officiating the final fight of his 30-plus year career.

 

 

 

Après le combat, undefeated super welterweight Jermell Charlo entered the ring to challenge for Hurd’s coveted belts. “We definitely want Charlo,” Hurd told SHOWTIME Sports’ Jim Gray, saying the matchup would likely occur after one more fight. “I’m calling the shots. je suis non. ​1​ right now. When I say answer the phone, answer the phone. I got the date.”

 

 

 

Charlo shot back. “This is easy money. I like those belts – they look real good on you. He said he wants another fight. I’m ready now.”

 

 

 

Hurd, who unified the WBA and IBF belts by beating WBA champion Erislandy Lara in April in Las Vegas, was returning with a surgically repair left shoulder. He threw 118 jabs, more than half of the 220 punches he threw in the fight.

 

 

 

“I’m just coming off surgery so I wanted to see how I worked off the jab,"A dit Hurd. “I felt good I was working behind the jab I got caught on the ropes and got caught with some shots and said ‘that’s enough. He got enough TV time.’ I heard the crowd and I didn’t want to get brave. So I turned it up and got the knockdown.​”​

 

 

 

Former Wilder foe and heavyweight southpaw Luis “The Real King Kong” Ortiz (30-1, 26 KOs) returned to STAPLES​ Center​ for a second consecutive victory with a resounding 10th-round TKO against Travis “My Time” Kauffman (32-3, 23 KOs) de Reading, Pennsylvanie.

 

 

 

The 39-year-old Ortiz of Camaguey, Cuba, registered left-cross knockdowns in the sixth, eighth and 10th rounds before the final blow coming later in the 10th round against a gritty Kauffman. It was the 26th career stoppage for Ortiz, who lost to Wilder in a Fight of the Year candidate back in March.

 

 

 

The fight was officially called at 1:58 of the 10th round. "Je suis un guerrier,” Ortiz said. “Nothing contains me. We didn’t have to knock him out but we wanted to show everything we have in our repertoire, and we showed it tonight.”

 

 

 

Ortiz, who was warned twice for low blows, clipped Kauffman for a second time by a lethal left hand of Ortiz at 2:29 dans le huitième round. But just like the first time he was send to canvas in the sixth round, Kauffman was able to get up and continue fighting.

 

 

 

The technically sound performance by Ortiz included 376 jab attempts to Kauffman’s 99 and out-landing him 66-7. That led to a 135-37 lead in total connects and a 69-30 margin in power connects against Kauffman, who SHOWTIME commentator Paulie Malignaggi called, “a stubborn guy who wouldn’t go away.”

 

 

 

“Of course I’ll fight the winner of this fight [Wilder-Fury],” Ortiz said. “I want that second fight with Wilder. I want to fight anybody.”

 

 

 

In the ​pay-per-view​ telecast opener, Joe “The Juggernaut” Joyce (7-0, 7 KOs) recorded a massive first-round knockout against Joe “The Future” Hanks (23-3, 15 KOs). A rising heavyweight, Joyce, de Londres, Angleterre, ended the fight officially after just 2:25 as he used a right jab to set up a near-perfect left hook sending Hanks to the canvas and down for the count.

 

 

 

Trained by noted trainer Abel Sanchez, Joyce told Gray he’s ready for anyone. “I want to get in some bigger fights,” said the former Olympic silver medal winner who recorded his fourth first-round KO. “I’ve been doing well so there is plenty more to come. All the support from back home in England, thanks for coming. I hope I put on something good to watch.”

 

 

 

It was the second win in the United States for Joyce, who also picked up the vacant WBA Continental heavyweight title. “I’m getting people out quickly,"Il a dit. “I’ve got a lot of experience, I’m just going to improve on my strength and my speed. I’ve heard comments that I’m slow but I seem to land the shots and get the job done.”

 

 

 

It was the third time during his career that Hanks, from Newark, N.J., has been knocked down by a left hook.

 

 

 

Earlier in the night on SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION Adonis Stevenson’s five-and-a-half year reign as the WBC Light Heavyweight Champion of the World ended as Oleksandr Gvozdyk dethroned boxing’s longest reigning champion with a devastating 11th round knockout from Videotron Center in Quebec City.

QUÉBEC (Décembre 1, 2018) – Adonis Stevenson’s five-and-a-half-year reign as the WBC Light Heavyweight Champion is over. Oleksandr Gvozdyk dethroned boxing’s longest reigning champion with a devastating 11e round knockout Saturday in Quebec City in a BOXE SHOWTIME: ÉDITION SPÉCIALE telecast that immediately preceded the Deontay Wilder vs. Tyson Fury SHOWTIME PPV.

 

 

 

Gvozdyk (16-0, 13 KOs) used a powerful multi-punch combination in the penultimate round to put the back-and-forth bout out of question. The former Olympic bronze medalist and amateur teammate of fellow Ukrainians Vasyl Lomachenko and Oleksandr Usyk was impressive throughout the entire fight. He executed trainer Teddy Atlas’ game plan to perfection and was the busier of the two fighters. Stevenson (29-2-1, 24 KOs), who was making his 10e défense de titre, was able to land his signature left hand on several occasions, most notably in the tenth round, but never did enough to truly trouble his opponent.

 

 

 

“This win means everything to me. I’ve trained my whole life for this and tonight all of the hard work was worth it,” said Gvozdyk, who was the mandatory challenger for Stevenson. “Having Teddy [Atlas] in my corner was a huge help. He knew exactly what to say to me. We trained so well for this fight and I knew I was going to get the knockout.

 

 

 

“Adonis was a great champion but it’s my time now. He got me with a good shot in the 10e round but I handled it and finished him. Maintenant, I just want to rest before I discuss my next step. I definitely want to stay at 175 livres. "

 

 

 

Stevenson was transported to a local hospital as precautionary measure and was unavailable for comment following the fight.

 

 

 

Saturday’s one-fight telecast from Quebec City will replay on Monday, Décembre 3 à 10 p.m. ET / PT sur Showtime EXTREME et sera disponible sur SHOWTIME ANYTIME® et SHOWTIME sur DEMANDE®.

Salamov Defends Championships with Unanimous Decision over Ghana’s Anim in Sochi, Russie

Samedi, Décembre 1, at the Galaktika Culture Centre in Sochi, Russie, Umar Salamov will defend his Eurasian Boxing Parliament and WBO International Light Heavyweight Championships when he faces once-beaten Emmanuel “Horse Power” Anim in an explosive 10-round showdown.

 

 

 

Salamov (22-1, 17 KOs), de Alkhan-Kala, Russie, is currently ranked WBC #10, WBA #13, IBF #7 and WBO #10 dans le monde. Anim (13-1-1, 11 KOs), from Accra, Ghana, is a former Ghanaian Super Middleweight and Light Heavyweight Champion. The fight will also be televised live in Russia on Match TV.

 

 

 

“I take every fight seriously,» A déclaré Salamov. “My preparations have been excellent for this match. I scored a KO in all my wins this year and I’ll do it again on December 1.”

 

 

 

Salamov caught the boxing public’s eye in North America last June with a brutal one-punch knockout over respectable prospect Brian Howard. With top-10 rankings by every major sanctioning body, it’s a matter of time for the 24-year-old slugger.

 

 

 

“The light heavyweight division is one of the most talent-packed in boxing,” said Salamov’s promoter, Dmitriy Salita. “Umar is one of the best in the world and with an impressive victory on December 1, he will be one step closer to reaching his goal of becoming a world champion.”

WBO #2 Espinoza Annihilates Vargas in Two Brutal Rounds

 

Mexico’s Ricardo “Hindu” Espinoza (21-2, 18 KOs) made the most of his Telemundo appearance in the main event of “Rumble at the Rock III,” tonight (Vendredi, Novembre. 30), at Hard Rock Event Center at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino à Hollywood, Floride, by destroying previously undefeated Yeison Vargas (17-1, 12 KOs) of Colombia in two rounds

 

 

 

After an uneventful first round, Espinoza impressively opened up and dropped Vargas three times in the second. In the process, Espinoza, the streaking WBO #2 concurrent, picked up a TKO 2 and the WBO Latino Bantamweight Championship. Having never left his homeland for a fight before, Vargas seemed unprepared for the brutal power of Espinoza’s hooks and right hands. The time was 1:19.

 

 

 

Dans l'événement co-principal poids welter de 10 rounds, Puerto Rican prospect Derrieck Cuevas (19-0-1, 14 KOs) scored an impressive unanimous 10-round decision over Miami via Barranquilla, Colombia veteran Breidis “Khanqueror” Prescott (31-15, 22 KOs).

 

 

 

Cuevas is a wicked puncher. Prescott was down in round one from a thudding left hook and was saved by the bell from a quick KO loss. What followed over the next nine rounds was a clinic from the surprisingly elusive 24-year-old Cuevas on hitting, dur, and not getting hit back.

 

 

 

Always a warrior, the battle-proven Prescott tried for the entire fight, but simply couldn’t reach Cuevas with anything consequential. Cuevas looks to have the goods to continue to climb the 147-lb ladder into contender status. The scores were not announced.

 

 

 

Popular Miami light heavyweight Ulysses Diaz (7-0, 6 KOs) was too much for Sonora, Mexico’s Fabian Valdez (3-5), as he stopped him in two rounds of a scheduled four. “The Monster” Diaz, a serious crowd favorite in South Florida, clubbed Valdez with his trademarked sledgehammers, sending the hapless Mexican reeling around the ring until the slaughter was mercifully waved off at 49 secondes. Valdez was down from a body shot in round one.

 

 

 

Miami lightweight Manuel Correa (3-0, 2 KOs) pounded out a brutal unanimous (40-36 x 3) four-round decision over Dustin Arnold (6-2, 1 KOs) de Coral Springs, Floride.

 

 

 

Lacking the power to get the relentlessly energized fists of Correa away from him, Arnold did well to survive the onslaught. His face didn’t feel so lucky though, as he was reduced to a bloody mask during the carnage. Correa is a pitbull worth having another look at. The normally capable Arnold will have to improve his power to compete with savagery of the type that fighters like Correa can generate.

 

 

 

Miami welterweight Livan Navarro (10-0, 6 KOs) scored an entertaining fourth-round knockout (54 secondes) over Colombian veteran Wilfrido Buelvas (19-11, 13 KOs). The pair of sluggers traded free-swinging haymakers throughout. Buelvas even looked to have hurt Navarro in the second, mais, eventually, Navarro’s superior power took over and that was it for the Colombian from Barranquilla.

 

 

 

Buelvas went down twice in round three and twice more in round four, the final time for the full 10 compter.

 

 

 

Dans un combat de poids super-plume de huit rounds, former top-ranked veteran Mike “Machine Gun” Oliver (26-10-1, 8 KOs) of Hartford showed the ravages of time, as he flopped twice and quit in the first round against Miami’s undefeated featherweight Hairon “El Maja” Socarras (20-0-3, 12 KOs). What would have been an entertaining scrap a few years ago was more of a sad exhibition as Oliver dropped from the two punches he caught and elected to quit after the second “knockdown.” The time was 50 secondes.

 

 

 

All-action Miami featherweight Jessy Cruz (15-7-1, 6 KOs) continued his winning streak with a four-round beatdown of Mexican veteran Isaias Martin Cardona (25-15, 17 KOs). Cardona, a showboating type, was down in round, une, three and four. After the fourth, saner heads prevailed, and he was prevented from coming out for the fifth. The official verdict was a TKO 5 (0:01).

 

 

 

Miami via Cuba’s hard-punching super middleweight Irosvani Duvergel (5-0, 3 KOs) stayed undefeated by making quick work of Miami’s Yendris Rodriguez Valdez (2-3, 2 KOs) par voie de TKO 1 (1:46). The exciting Cuban was too strong for Valdez and after going down from a right hand, Valdez’s corner signaled their man’s surrender.

 

 

 

A four-round featherweight contest ended early when Puerto Rico’s Luis “Chucho” Melendez (3-1, 2 KOs) scored a TKO 2 (2:13) over debuting local Jonathan Conde. After a routine first round, Melendez had Conde down three times, the first with a counter left hook and then twice more with big right hands.

 

 

 

In the four-round heavyweight opener between two Miami-based sluggers, Hector “Ready for War” Hodge (3-3, 1 KO) spoiled the pro debut of Jairus Gladney (0-1) by knockout at 1:43 du deuxième tour. The pair of big men traded wild shots until Hodge found pay dirt with a southpaw left hand, dropping Gladney. Gladney rose but was in no condition and another roundhouse left finished things.

 

 

 

“Rumble at the Rock III” was presented by Kris Lawrence and The Heavyweight Factory, in association with Tuto Zabala of All Star Boxing.
