Quebec City (Prosinac 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 11th round knockout Saturday in Quebec City in a SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION 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 10th Naslov obrana, 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 10th round but I handled it and finished him. Sada, I just want to rest before I discuss my next step. I definitely want to stay at 175 funti. "

 

 

 

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

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

Ostavite komentar

U subotu, Prosinac 1, at the Galaktika Culture Centre in Sochi, Rusija, 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), from Alkhan-Kala, Rusija, is currently ranked WBC #10, WBA #13, IBF #7 and WBO #10 u svijetu. Anim (13-1-1, 11 Kos), from Accra, Gana, 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,” said 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 (Petak, Studeni. 30), at Hard Rock Event Center at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino u Hollywoodu, Florida, 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 kandidat, 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.

 

 

 

In the 10-round welterweight co-main event, 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, teško, 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 sekundi. 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) of Coral Springs, Florida.

 

 

 

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 sekundi) 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, ali, 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 računati.

 

 

 

In an eight-round super featherweight bout, 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 sekundi.

 

 

 

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, jedan, 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) by way of 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 od krugu dva. 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.

“Osjećam da će Deontay Wilder pobijediti jer će na kraju doskočiti toj desnoj ruci. Vrlo je strpljiv. On je mislilac, ali može i riskirati. Kad ljudi riskiraju, oni pobjeđuju.

 

 

 

“Deontay možda neće imati toliko iskustva kao mi danas, ali on ima moć. To ljudi žele vidjeti i mislim da će biti sretni kad to vide.

 

 

 

“Bilo je trenutka u kojem je svaki veliki teškaš bio iz Sjedinjenih Država. Imali smo jako dobar amaterski program. Bio sam posljednji pravi prvak u teškoj kategoriji iz SAD-a. prije Wildera i dok nisam izgubio odluku protiv Lennoxa.

 

 

 

“Biti svjetski prvak u teškoj kategoriji, i reći da ste najbolji, moraš se boriti protiv bilo kojeg muškarca.”

 

Lennox Lewis

 

 

 

“Mislim da će to biti sjajna borba. Deontay Wilder ima sjajnu desnu ruku i kad padne, ne može se previše ljudi tome suprotstaviti. Također mislim da ne možete povrijediti ono što ne možete pogoditi. Tysona Furyja nije lako pogoditi. Ima velike sposobnosti i kretanje. Idem s Deontayem rano ili Fury kasno.

 

 

 

“Svi znamo kakav je osjećaj izgubiti prvenstvo u teškoj kategoriji. Znamo koliko je teško to vratiti. Fury ga je izgubio, a sada to želi natrag. Sad vidim da se žrtvuje i govori sebi da to nije smio izgubiti, a sada ga mora povratiti.

 

 

 

“Mislim da pogled u Velikoj Britaniji. je da je Tyson Fury čovjek koji se pojačao. Rukavica je bačena tamo i zauzeo se za Britaniju. Deontay je došao u Englesku da izazove Anthonyja Joshuu, ali Tyson Fury je bio taj koji se odazvao pozivu.

 

 

 

“Rekao bih da postoji nekoliko meka u boksu koja su mjesta na kojima se svi žele boriti. Las Vegas, New York i naravno, Los Angeles. Moja borba protiv Vitalija Klička u STAPLES centru bila je sjajna borba. Moj plan te večeri nije bio boksati da bih otišao na daljinu, Boksao sam da pređem kratku udaljenost i to je i učinio.”

 

RIDDICK POKLON

 

 

 

“Sutra navečer idem s Deontayem Wilderom. Priredit će sjajnu predstavu za sve i dobiti još jedan nokaut.

 

 

 

“Tyson Fury je vješt i visok, ali za mene, ne radi dovoljno na napadu. Kreće se, ali ne miče dovoljno ruke.”

 

GERRY COONEY

 

 

 

“Mislim da je to sjajna borba sutra navečer. Znamo da se Fury vraća motiviran. Ako Wilder nađe dom za to pravo, izvest će Furyja. Mislim da će se povezati kad-tad tijekom borbe.

 

 

 

“Mislim da je Tyson Fury sjajan čovjek za koliko se vratio u životu i za suprotstavljanje Deontayu Wilderu. Fury ga je prozvao, pa možda zna nešto što mi ne znamo.

 

 

 

“Tako mi je drago što sam ovdje. Pogledajte sve ove sjajne teškaše i sjajne momke. Posebna je i svi su ovdje da gledaju ovu borbu sutra navečer.”

 

EARNIE BRAVICI

 

 

 

“Ja i Deontay smo oboje iz Alabame. Uskoro ću biti primljen u Sportsku dvoranu slavnih u Alabami, a jednog će dana biti i Deontay. Deontay je izvrstan udarač i vučem za njim sutra navečer.

 

 

 

“Borio sam se u velikoj eri. Ako se borite s dečkima na istoj razini, dobit ćete dobre borbe. Ovi bi momci danas mogli ući tamo u naše dane i prirediti dobru predstavu.”

 

BUSTER DOUGLAS

 

 

 

“Mislim da će ovo biti dobra natjecateljska borba. Kad bih morao odabrati, Uzeo bih Deontaya Wildera nokautom u osmoj rundi.

 

 

 

“Osjećam da je Tyson Fury već pobijedio boreći se i ulazeći u sjajnu formu i nalazeći se u ovoj poziciji. Siguran sam da su mnogi ljudi mislili da ga nikad više neće vidjeti ovdje. To je pobjeda sama po sebi.

 

 

 

“Moja pobjeda nad Mikeom Tysonom na sjajan je način promijenila moj život. Sad sam bio prvak svijeta u teškoj kategoriji. San mi se ostvario. Jedino što je moglo to nadmašiti bilo je vidjeti moje dvoje najmlađe djece.”

 

MICHAEL SPINKS

 

 

“Neka kum pobijediti. Ne znam tko je u najboljoj formi, ali mislim da me Fury zbog izlaska iz ringa naginje prema Deontayu Wilderu. Ako je Fury osobno toliko velik koliko kažu da jest, on ima veliku priliku.

 

 

“Ako ste underdog, jednostavno morate nastaviti s onim što znate i na čemu ste radili. Ne možete obratiti pažnju na sumnjičave. Usredotočite se na ono za što ste se pripremili i dajte sve od sebe. Uvijek sam se vidio kako pobjeđujem. Najveći je osjećaj izaći iz ringa pobjednički.”

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday from Westin Bonaventure Hotel & Suites Los Angeles:
JARRETT HURD
“Everything that my team and I have spoken about has come to pass. I’m here as the co-main of a massive card and I’m just really appreciative of everyone who believed in me and helped push me to this moment.
“Saturday night I want to show my versatility. Everyone has seen that I’m electrifying. I bring the action. But I want to show that I am swift and I do have defense. I know how to use my height and range. I’m still going to bring the action on Saturday, so you have to make sure to tune-in.
“We don’t think of Welborn as a tune-up fight. Jason Welborn is a British champion for a reason. We just want to go out there and establish the game plan we worked on in camp.
“I want to show my defensive side and show that I can box and move. I want to show that I don’t have to just keep coming forward. I’m going to be able to do that and start to break him down and get him out of there.
“Everybody sees my demeanor, and they know that I carry that to the ring. My composure is my biggest attribute. Bez obzira što bilo tko kaže, I’m always going to be me.
“I’m number one in the division and things are going to play out how I want them. We’ve had three tough camps training for southpaws. When I eventually fight (WBC champion) Jermell Charlo, I’m going to be ready because of all the work on my versatility and defense. I’ll be ready for Jermell Charlo.
“I want to be an active champion because I didn’t have a lot of amateur fights. I need to stay in the ring and get all the experience I can. I want to get these good fights in while I’m still young and healthy.
“I’m back from my surgery and we’re going to get back to the old Jarrett Hurd. I’m going to show everyone all that I can do. Everyone knows that there’s always going to be action. It’s going to be a wonderful fight on a wonderful card. Don’t blink during this one.”
JASON WELBORN
“This is a dream come true to be here today. Hurd has worked his way up to get here just like I have. Sada, he’s in my way. I hope everyone enjoys what I bring to the table on Saturday night.
“I have the belief that I’m born and bred for this game and I’m going to show it to the whole world on Saturday night. I always prove people wrong.
“The last two years I’ve become the best in Britain and beaten everyone they put in front of me. When people doubt me, I train even harder. I’m coming to win and I’ve got nothing to lose.
“I have to get what I deserve and I’ll do it on Saturday night. I’ve already been through the storm. He’s got what I want.
“I’ve got to enjoy the fight and get what I want. He can look past me all he wants, but once he feels what I bring to the table, we’ll see how he reacts. I’m ready for whatever he’s going to bring to the table.”
LUIS ORTIZ
“I want to thank everyone who has helped me get this opportunity. I like to do my talking in the ring, but I’m happy that Travis Kauffman stepped up. A lot of heavyweights haven’t done that and I’m glad we can make this fight happen.
“I’m coming to do my job. This is a heavyweight fight and we know that means one punch can change everything. It’s not going to end well for Travis on Saturday night.
“Tamo su 10 rounds to get the job done, and three minutes per round. I’m going to get my job done. The job is to seek and destroy. So I hope that Travis is very prepared to give the fans a great show. Saturday night you’ll see ‘King Kong’ u prstenu.
“I’ve pushed myself even harder than ever in training camp. Mi držati s istim igra plan obitelji prvi i vjerujem da će biti nagrađeni. Moj petogodišnji dječak me podsjeća da imam gubitak i da motivira me trenirati teže i teže.
“Očekujem Travis imati veliko povjerenje on pokazuje. To je velika prilika za njega, a ja sam siguran da će biti motivirani. Ja sam motiviran za svaku borbu, jer to je ne samo o mom protivniku. Moj cilj je pružiti za moju obitelj i Travis je na putu. Nikad nisam odvratiti od tog mentaliteta i to je dobio mene spremna za subotu navečer.”
TRAVIS Kauffman
“Ja sam zahvalan Luis Ortiz za uzimanje ovu borbu. Svatko se boji da ga se boriti, ali ne bojim se nikoga. Svi znamo da je Luis Ortiz može bušiti, but I don’t care about any of that. It’s my time. I come from a rough background and I won’t back down.
“Ovo je moje vrijeme. There’s nothing that’s going to stop me from taking this guy down. He’s so worried about Deontay Wilder, but he has to worry about me before he gets any rematch.
“You might not know who I am right now, but you will after Saturday night. I’m going to make sure people remember my name.
“Luis Ortiz is very skilled, but if you want to be the best you have to fight the best. No one actually wants to step up and take this fight, but I really believe this is my time. I bring some heat in the ring and I come to fight every time.”
JOE JOYCE
“I’m excited to be on this massive card. I’m going to give the whole world a treat as part of a great event. You have to tune-in and watch me start the show off right on Saturday night.
“Training in Big Bear has been a perfect environment for me. It’s in the mountains, it has the altitude and it’s secluded. I’ve seen what goes into their training camps and worked alongside the best in the world. They’ve helped me install the kind of style that will have me at my best.
“I have the Olympic pedigree, but now it’s about advancing the brute strength and really getting the perfect snap on my shots.
“Sparring against Tyson Fury was really top-level work. I know that it’s made me a better fighter. He’s looking fit and strong and it shows when you’re in the ring with him.
“Ovo je velika prilika. Abel Sanchez has done a tremendous job getting me ready for this position. I’m excited to show everyone my skills and everything I’ve learned.
“I’m glad that Joe Hanks decided to take this fight. I can’t wait to lace up the gloves and get the party started. I’m going to keep my knockout streak going and I guarantee it’s going to be exciting”
JOE HANKS
“It’s been a long time coming for this moment. I’m thankful to my team and I’m excited to be on this card with other great heavyweights. It’s a great time to be a heavyweight. I’m ready to put my name in the ring to have the chance to really do something special with a great performance Saturday.
“The work has been done. I did everything that I had to do. I’ve done more than I did preparing for my past fights. Being the underdog doesn’t mean much to me. I’m from Newark, New Jersey, and we’re all underdogs there.
“I’ve put the time in and I’ve had everyone supporting me and pushing me and I think it’s going to get me over the hump. I’m just really excited to get in there.”
STEPHEN Espinoza, Predsjednik Sport & događaj Programiranje, Showtime Networks Inc.
“When we talk about Jarrett Hurd, he’s a fighter who has seemingly come out of nowhere and has had an incredibly rapid rise to the top. He was not a decorated amateur. He has learned on the job. All he has done since beating Oscar Molina in 2016 is impress. He is recognized as one of the bright young stars in boxing. He has been off due to injury and certainly could have taken an easier fight than Jason Welborn, who is a British Commonwealth champion. We’re expecting an action fight there.
“Luis Ortiz is one of the top heavyweights in the world. He has one blemish on his otherwise perfect record, a loss to Deontay Wilder. Perhaps Ortiz was just seconds away from victory. We talk about a slim margin in fights, that was the slimmest of margins. I think he is going to be trying to make a statement on the undercard that he deserves a rematch against Deontay Wilder. Standing in his way will be Travis Kauffman. This is another all-action fight filled with big punchers.
“In our opening bout, we have one of the most talked-about rising young heavyweights in the sport – Joe Joyce, who is taking on a tough veteran in Joe Hanks. Kao što znamo, the heavyweight division has been the focus more in the last six to nine months than we’ve seen in the last couple decades. Joe Joyce is at the top of the list on the potential next wave of future stars. He is certainly not wasting any time taking on a fighter of Joe Hanks’ caliber.
“When you look at the card overall, you’ve got some of the biggest punchers in boxing. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see several knockouts on this card. Don’t miss the action.”

PT and also features unified 154-pound world champion Jarrett Hurd returning to take on Jason Welborn, Cuban heavyweight slugger Luis Ortiz facing-off against Travis Kauffman and rising heavyweight Joe Joyce bori Joe Hanks.

 

 

 

Here is what Stevenson, Gvozdyk and their respective trainers had to say Thursday at Chateau Bonne Entente in Quebec City:

 

ADONIS STEVENSON:

 

 

 

“Saturday is a big fight. I’m not underestimating Gvozdyk. I know he’s a good fighter and he’s hungry. He’s trained very hard to get my title. But everybody who comes to my home in Canada always wants my title, but it’s never happened and it’s not going to happen now.

 

 

 

“I’m looking for the knockout. That’s just my mentality and the way that I train. Šećer [Hill Steward] trains me to think that way but I can also go 12 kola, it’s not a problem. I know that if he makes a mistake, I’m going to catch him. He only has to slip up once in 12 kola. One mistake, one punch. That’s all it’s going to take. Ja sam spreman. I know I can punch and it’s 12 kola. I just need one punch. Just one. I’m going to catch him and the night will be over.

 

 

 

“I’ve been pushing myself in training and I’m going to put on another great performance come Saturday and will defend my title once again. In the words of my old trainer, Emanuel Steward, ‘knockouts sell’ and that’s what I’m going for in this fight. I know I’m facing a good boxer who’s coming in very determined. He’ll be ready, but it won’t be enough. Superman is in the building!"

 

OLEKSANDR GVOZDYK:

 

 

“I’m glad to finally be here. Jako sam uzbuđen. I want to thank Top Rank and GYM Promotions for finally making this happen. I respect Adonis Stevenson as a fighter, he’s a great champion. But I am ready to accept this challenge and on Saturday night there will be a new champion.

 

 

 

“I have one of the greatest trainers in the history of boxing so I’m very confident. We have a good strategy. We had an excellent training camp and I’m ready. Adonis is a great fighter. He’s a dangerous southpaw and this is a real step-up for me but it’s my time.

 

 

 

“People always ask about Stevenson’s age but George Foreman and Bernard Hopkins performed at a high level when they were 50-years-old. It really just depends on how you maintain your body, your living conditions, how you eat and how you train.

 

 

 

“I’m not worried about what the bookmakers say. It doesn’t mean anything that they think I am the favorite. I try to stay focused on the things that I need to be focused on, not what the bookmakers think. The further this fight goes, the better my chances are. My height, my movement and my patience will win me this fight.”

 

SUGAR HILL STEWARD, STEVENSON’S TRAINER

 

 

 

“I’m happy to be here once again. This is like a second home for Adonis. This fight is just going to be regular Adonis. Adonis wants to get a knockout. Volim knockouts. This is how we train for every fight. It’s no disrespect to any fighter, but that’s just the mentality that we have. Adonis and I don’t believe in leaving it in the hands of the judges and that’s been working so far. We will continue to do what we’ve been doing.”

 

 

 

“Adonis has been training his whole life for something like this. This is a big world championship fight against a former Olympian. Welcome to big time boxing, this is what it’s all about. Come December 1, Adonis Stevenson is going to get another knockout.”

 

TEDDY ATLAS, GVOZDYK’S TRAINER

 

 

“We knew that this would be a very difficult fight but what we didn’t know was how difficult it would be to get here. That part of the fight is over, zahvaljujući. We spent eight weeks in California preparing for this bout. Preparing for a tremendous champion. I don’t have to speak about how long he’s been a champion, his reign, his experience, how talented and dangerous he is as a puncher. I believe he’s the best or second-best puncher in boxing today. It’s either him or [Deontay] Wilder, whatever you choose.

 

 

 

“Stevenson has all of the qualities a great fighter needs. He has a great heart, he’s gotten off the canvas and showed tremendous heart late in the Badou Jack fight. This is quite a task that’s in front of us. We understand that. The good news is that we know exactly what we’re facing and we’ve prepared the last eight weeks for that. We have not overlooked anything. I have no doubt that although we have a very steep challenge in front of us, that on Saturday night we will have a new Light Heavyweight Champion of the World.”
