By Joseph Santoliquito/BWAA President

In a pivotal year for women’s boxing that saw the sport reach more
people than ever before, two-time United States Olympic gold medal
winner Claressa Shields continued to soar, as she successfully defended her two world middleweight titles, then added three super middleweight belts before the end of a campaign that earned her the 2018 Christy
Martin Award, which is given to the Boxing Writers Association of
America’s Female Fighter of the Year.


“I am thrilled and honored to receive the Fighter of the Year award from the Boxing Writers Association of America. It is a dream come true, and it furthers my goal to lift women’s boxing to new levels,” Shields said.


“В 2019 my goals are to become undisputed champion, to be ranked in the top 10 pound-for-pound list regardless of gender, and to continue
the march of women’s boxing toward equality with men.”


The 23-year-old from Flint, Michigan becomes the second winner of the award, which was established in 2017. She will be honored at the
BWAA’s annual award dinner, which will take place in 2019 at a site and date to be determined.


“In such a big year for women’s boxing, it wasn’t a surprise that there
were so many worthy nominees for this award, but in 2018, Claressa
Shields took things to a new level by becoming a two-division world
champion and successfully defending her titles at both 168 и 160
pounds in Showtime and HBO-televised bouts,” said Thomas Gerbasi,
chairman of the BWAA’s women’s boxing committee. “That’s impressive in its own right, but the fact that she’s done this all before her tenth pro
fight and under the glare of the spotlight that comes with being the face of the sport in the United States made her a unanimous choice for this
year’s Christy Martin Award.”


Joining Roy Jones Jr., Andre Ward and the late Emanuel Steward as
members of the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame’s Class of 2018, Shields began the year on a collision course with middleweight
champion Christina Hammer, but first she finished up her business at
168 pounds by successfully defending her IBF and WBC titles with a
shutout victory over Tori Nelson in January.

Next was Shields’ middleweight debut against Hanna Gabriels in June,
and what followed was a Fight of the Year candidate that saw Shields
rebound from the first knockdown of her career to win a clear-cut
decision and the IBF and WBA belts. Soon after, the news came that
Hammer had to withdraw from her November clash with Shields due to
нараняване, но “T-Rex” didn’t slow down, as she defeated Hannah Rankin and Femke Hermans to successfully defend her middleweight titles while
adding the WBC crown to her trophy case.

Paving the way for female boxers…..
Claressa Шийлдс
“USA Boxing is family!”
САЩ Асоциация на завършилите Бокс, клас на 2018 Приятел

Колорадо Спрингс, Скут. (Декември 3, 2018) – Two-time Olympic gold medalist Claressa Шийлдс not only is spearheading a new wave in women’s boxing, she has developed into a true role model for countless youths.

 

 

 

Shields will be inducted into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame this Friday night in Salt Lake City, along with Class of 2018 членове Roy Jones Jr. и, Андре Уорд, as well as the late Emanuel Stewartи Том Клиъри.

 

 

 

Вторият ежегоден прием в Залата на славата на Асоциацията на възпитаниците на бокса в САЩ, проведено във връзка с 2018 Национални първенства за елитен и младежки бокс на САЩ и първенство за младежи и подготовка, Декември 2-8, ще се проведе декември 7, в хотел Радисън (215 S. Храм Св.) в Солт Лейк Сити, Юта.

 

 

 

“I feel honored,” Shields spoke about being inducted into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame,” I am only 23 years old and to be inducted into the USA Boxing Hall of Fame is a great honor, but also a shock to me. I believe I am worthy of any honor, but I know things take time, and I always thought I would put in the Hall of Fame at the age 40 или 50. This is a big deal to me and I feel so honored. Just to have my name mentioned alongside names of greats like Andre Ward and Roy Jones just really motivates me. I feel privileged!”

 

 

 

The pride of Flint, Мичиган, Shields has already successfully parlayed her amateur success to the professional ranks, in which she is 7-0 (2), and the reigning unified (IBF, WBA & WBC) световен шампион в средна.

 

 

 

Shields finished her amateur career with an incredible 77-1 (18 Нокаута) рекорд, highlighted by her Olympic gold-medal-performances in 2012 и 2016. She hasn’t lost in the ring since 2012, когато Savannah Marshall (Англия) won on points, 14-8, at the World Championships in China.

 

 

 

“USA Boxing came into my life as a two-time Junior Olympic champion,” Claressa explained her USA Boxing relationship. “The help from USA Boxing was so important: just noticing me as a young athlete and knowing I would be a strong young woman to represent the USA in the future; среща Julie Goldsticker, who was a blessing for me as she helped me with a lot as a teenager, and just having Coach Abdullah, треньор Al Mitchell, and coach Gloria Peek teach me different styles and how to use all my attributes. USA Boxing blessed me with a lot of knowledge and life-long friendships with all my Olympic teammates and Olympic coaches. My favorite coach, Koroma, literally was with me the whole way through 2015-2016, helping me outside the ring with advice and inside the ring.”

 

 

 

Shields is one of the driving forces in women’s boxing today, carrying the torch handed off by American female boxing pioneers such as Кристи Мартин, Лайла Али and a few others.

 

 

 

“There is great change going on right now — ми, Микаела Майер, Franchon Crews, Кейти Тейлър, Аманда Serrano and a few other women are carrying the torch for women’s boxing right now,” Shields explained. “Progress has been fast, every network has had a women’s fight on television this year, especially Showtime, on which I have boxed the main event four times. Women’s boxing can go far. I believe the day will come when we can be paid millions just like men.”

 

 

 

By opening doors and breaking down obstacles, Claressa has become a true role model for youngsters all over, в и извън бокса.

 

 

 

“It feels good to be a role model for them (females), and also for so many male boxers,” Shields noted. “Boxing is in a different era and I just want to make it easier for girls coming up, so when they turn pro, boxing will be closer to equality.”

 

 

 

“Claressa has one of the greatest stories in the history of amateur boxing,” каза Крис tofflemire, Изпълнителен директор на Асоциацията на възпитаниците на бокса в САЩ. “Her drive, commitment, талант, and character made her a USA Boxing and Olympic champion, leaving a legacy that will last for a very long time. She is a trailblazer for women’s boxing and has established her place as one of the most influential USA Boxing Alumni members of all time. The USA Boxing Alumni Association wants to thank her for inspiring the amateur boxing community and serving as a great role model for the next generation of champions.”

 

САЩ Асоциация на завършилите Бокс

 

 

 

Създаден за шампион през целия живот, взаимноизгодни отношения между САЩ Boxing и неговите възпитаници, –боксьори, служители, треньори и феновете на бокса — Асоциацията на завършилите свързва поколения шампиони, вдъхновяваща и предаваме на бъдещите шампиони по бокс САЩ бокса, в и извън ринга.

Despite all the honors and accolades, she has so richly received, Shields hasn’t forgotten where it all started, and she’s still actively involved in USA Boxing.

 

 

 

“I keep in contact with a lot of the female athletes and give them advice if they ask me,” Claressa added. “I also went to Colorado for five days to be a motivator and keynote speaker for the Next Olympic Hopeful. After my career is over in about 15 години, I want to be a boxing trainer and lead the women’s team to more Olympic gold medals, if given the opportunity. I also want to be a school teacher and a counselor for youth.”

 

 

 

Шийлдс, за съжаление, is unable to attend this Friday night’s Hall of Fame reception because she’s in deep training for her titles defense this Saturday evening on HBO, live from the StubHub Center in Carson, Калифорния, срещу Fenmke Hermans (9-1).

 

 

 

“Печално,” Shields concluded, “I can’t be there but, if I was there, I would say: Thank you to USA Boxing for believing in me at the age of 16. It was an honor to represent America, not only once but two times in the Olympics! I thank Coach Тояга (Walsh) for making me dig deep, by having to deal with his Irish ways and jokes, also for changing the culture of USA Boxing. A special thank you to coach Kay, also, I can’t count on my hands how many days we trained at 1 сутринта, how many times I knocked on his room door and ran, how many times he has had to take my phone from me because I was crying or having a family problem. He is the coach I could tell everything to, and he also blessed me with his boxing knowledge and made me always feel secure in myself when he was in the corner. USA Boxing isn’t just staff – USA Boxing is family! Even though I’ve had a few words with Matthew Johnson and other staff, I thank them for being hard on me and making sure I handled my responsibilities. Love to all USA Boxing staff, I’m truly thankful.”

 

 

 

Claressa Shields is much more than world and Olympian champion, she’s a class act as well, exactly what’s so desperately needed today.

Тренировъчният лагер почти завършен; Уверена и натежала Клареса Щитове, готова за Хана Ранкин DAZN Showdown на ноември 17

Оставете коментар

Суперзвездата на жените и двудивизионната световна шампионка Клареса Шийлдс е във Флорида с треньора Джон Дейвид Джаксън, довършвайки подготовката за нейния разбор с Глазгоу, Шотландската Hannahh Rankin в събота, Ноември 17, в Kansas Star Arena и казино в Mulvane, Канзас.

 

 

 

Шийлдс (6-0, 2 Нокаута) ще защитава световното си първенство в средна категория на IBF и WBA, и търсете да добавите свободното заглавие на WBC, срещу Ранкин (5-2, 1 KO) в 10-рундния съвместен двубой за стабилния партньор на Salita Promotions Jarrell Miller в тежка категория срещу румънеца Богдан Дину.

 

 

 

И двете битки, заедно с бившия световен шампион Брандън Риос, който поема брат на Канело, Рамон Алварес, в супер полусредна категория на 10 кръга и бивш двукратен претендент за световната титла в средна категория Габриел Росадо срещу бития веднъж претендент Луис Ариас, ще се излъчва на живо по DAZN.

 

 

 

23-годишни щитове, бивш двукратен олимпийски златен медалист, възвърна интереса си към женския бокс и се превърна в любимец на рейтингите си за националните си телевизионни подвизи. Горд родом от Флинт, Мичиган, Shields смесва нейните нахални изявления за величие с истински и непрекъснати усилия да вдъхновява спортистките и да оказва помощ на членовете на домашната си общност.

 

 

 

Първоначално Shields трябваше да се изправи срещу WBC и WBO Световната шампионка в средна категория Кристина Хамър през ноември 17, но двубоят беше отложен, след като Хамър се оттегли поради медицински причини.

 

Промяната на противниците от Hammer на Rankin повлия ли на тренировката ви?

 

 

 

Не тренирам за опонентите си, Просто натискам, за да извлека най-доброто от мен, физически и психически. Ако съм най-добрият „аз“,’Не трябва да се притеснявам кой е съперникът. Смяната на противниците изобщо не ме притесни; най-лошото в този лагер за мен бяха просто всички промени в датите - непрекъснато трябваше да фокусирам ума си върху темпото и времето на тренировка в зависимост от датата на битката. Нямам търпение да вляза на ринга!

 

Били сте се в супер средна категория 168 и наскоро в средна категория 160 паунда. Как е вашето обучение, диета и всякакви други усилия, различни за полагане 160?

 

 

 

Обучението винаги е трудно и аз непрекъснато се уча. В този лагер имах напълно различна диета - истинска промяна и положителна за мен. Обединих се с Perfecting Athlete за ежедневното ми хранене, и се чувствам страхотно. Винаги съм се опитвал да се храня здравословно, но тези хора са професионалисти и са по-образовани в тази област от мен самия. Имам тази вълшебна напитка, която кара стомаха ми да се усмихва - обичам го! Това е диня, смесена със зелен зеленчук. Няма да ви казвам какъв е зеленчукът, но го пия всеки ден, и се чувствам СТРАХОТНО.

 

Вашите зрителски номера са много силни. Защо мислите, че хората са привлечени от вас?

 

 

 

Вярвам, че хората са привлечени от това колко съм истински и честен, в и извън ринга. Казвам това, което имам предвид и имам предвид това, което казвам. Твърд съм, но имам и мека страна. И мисля, че хората са привлечени от това как се бия — не само говоря добра игра, но и се боря с моите a– изключване също! аз давам 1000% всеки път - искам да променя играта и да въведа изцяло ново поколение фенове в женския бокс и бокса като цяло.

 

Какво знаете за опонента си Хана Ранкин?

 

 

 

Знам, че моят противник Ранкин е много корав и решен да бъде световен шампион. Харесвам нейното шофиране, Харесвам сърцето й. Знам, че тя е била на ринга като спаринг партньор за много шампиони, едната е Кристина Хамър. Така че Ранкин е видял някои добри бойци. Но едно е сигурно - тя никога не е виждала боец ​​като мен. И тъй като Хамър не можеше да се бие поради нейното медицинско състояние, в много отношения следващото най-добро нещо е да се биете и да биете спаринг партньора си и да оставите Ранкин да каже на Хамър за какво се занимава, когато се върне!

 

Какво трябва да се направи, за да се реши кризата с водата във Флинт?

 

 

За разрешаване на кремъчната криза с водата, Мисля, че хората трябва да продължат да дават вода и да я държат в новините, че има град в Америка, където, невероятно, Гражданите на САЩ нямат чиста вода. И дано президентът или нашият губернатор направят нещо, за да поправят всички тръби.

 

Каква е тайната да станеш най-добрият от най-добрите във всеки спорт?

 

 

 

Вярвам, че тайната започва с вярването в себе си, да бъдеш посветен, работим усилено и просто винаги се стремим да бъдем по-добри. Чувствам се най-големият ми критик, когато тренирам и боксирам. Трудно е да гледам филм за моите битки, защото въпреки че го правя 97 Нещата са правилни, просто не мога да понасям 3 неща, които правя погрешно. Аз съм човек, който се стреми да извлече пълния си потенциал. Необходими са смелости, за да бъдеш страхотен. Нищо няма да попречи на постигането на целите ми, което включва да бъдеш GWOAT и да създаваш равенство за всички жени бойци, що се отнася до парите, възможности и покритие, което мъжете получават.

10-кръглите щитове (6-0, 2 Нокаута), и Ранкин (5-2, 1 KO) битката ще послужи като съвместен двубой за родения в Бруклин претендент в тежка категория на Джарел Милър срещу WMA в руската игра Богдан Дину.

 

 

 

Тези две битки ще бъдат излъчени на живо по DAZN, заедно с бившия световен шампион Брандън Риос, който поема брат на Канело, Рамон Алварес, в супер полусредна категория на 10 кръга и бивш двукратен претендент за световната титла в средна категория Габриел Росадо срещу бития веднъж претендент Луис Ариас.

 

 

 

Първоначално Shields трябваше да се изправи срещу WBC и WBO Световната шампионка в средна категория Кристина Хамър през ноември 17, но двубоят беше отложен, след като Хамър се оттегли поради медицински причини. Хамър е обявен за шампион в почивка по време на възстановяването си. Двамата шампиони се очаква да се бият през първата четвърт на 2019.

 

 

 

„Клареса е атлет веднъж в поколението, който надхвърля спорта,- каза нейният промоутър, Дмитрий Salita. „Тя ще направи още една стъпка в целта си да постигне статут на GWOAT, докато прави първата защита на световните си титли в средна категория срещу квалифицираната и издръжлива Хана Ранкин.“

 

 

 

Добросъвестна женска суперзвезда и любимец на телевизионните рейтинги, 23-годишният "T-Rex" Shields е двукратен олимпийски златен медалист и вече световен шампион в две тежести. В четвъртия си професионален бой, тя спечели шампионата на IBF и WBC в супер средна категория през август 2017 с доминираща спирка на германката Ники Адлер. След това, през юни тази година и само в шестата й професионална битка, тя падна до 160 лири и спечели титлите на IBF и WBA в средна категория с вълнуващо единодушно решение над Хана Габриелс.

 

 

 

"Толкова съм развълнуван, че мога да дам на феновете си още един шанс да ме видят да защитавам първенството си тази година и да имам възможност да спечеля титлата в средна категория на WBC на 17 ноември", каза Шийлдс. „Оценявам усилията на Salita Promotions, моят мениджър Марк Тафет, и Matchroom Boxing, за да организираме тази битка толкова бързо. Ще бъда в отлична форма и ще осигуря страхотно представяне. "

 

 

 

„Искам да благодаря на Salita Promotions и Matchroom Boxing, че предостави на Claressa още един шанс за битка тази година и възможност да постигне трето световно първенство в средна категория,- каза Марк Тафет, управител на Клареса Шийлдс. „Клареса е гладна и мотивирана да направи страхотно представяне на ноември 17 на DAZN. Claressa has lofty goals and I have no doubt that she’s going to achieve every one of them, including fighting and defeating Christina Hammer early next year. I expect Shields vs Rankin to be an action-packed fight that fans will enjoy tremendously.”

 

 

 

28-year-old Rankin put in an impressive and brave performance while losing a challenge for Alicia Napoleon’s WBA Super Middleweight Championship in August of this year. Преди това, she picked up the WBC Silver Middleweight Championship with a dominant victory over Finland’s Sanna Turunen in June.

 

 

 

“I’m excited about the fight and proud to be representing Scotland on such a big stage,” said Rankin. “In boxing, nothing is impossible and on November 17, it will be just us in there when the bell rings and I think it’s going to be one hell of a fight.”

“SHOWTIME Sports has a long history of featuring the best in women’s combat sports, whether it was with Laila Ali and Christy Martin in boxing, or Gina Carano, Крис Сайборг и Ронда Раузи в ММА,” said Gordon Hall, Изпълнителен продуцент на SHOWTIME BOXING: СПЕЦИАЛНО ИЗДАНИЕ. “Напоследък, тъй като 2016 we have featured today’s elite with Claressa Shields, Кристина Хамър, Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano appearing in an industry-leading 10 presentations of women’s boxing.

We have two of the best pound-for-pound female fighters in the world facing each other with all four women’s middleweight titles at stake. It doesn’t get much better than that.”

 

 

 

“I have been fortunate to be part of some of the biggest and most important fights in boxing history, and I am thrilled to play a part in the Shields vs Hammer undisputed middleweight championship fight on SHOWTIME,” said Mark Taffet, управител на Клареса Шийлдс. “This is a fight which will make its mark on history and change the landscape for women’s boxing. And what better venue to host this historic fight than Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, home to some of the greatest fights of our generation including Tyson vs Spinks, Holyfield vs Foreman and Gatti vs Ward. I can’t wait to see these two great champions give the fans a night to remember for generations to come.”

 

 

 

“This will be a historic night for boxing,” said promoter Dmitriy Salita. “The two best middleweights in the world – двете шампиони, both undefeated and both motivated to prove who is the best – are bringing their skills, confidence and heart to the ring in the greatest women’s matchup of all time. Shield vs. Hammer will take boxing, and women’s sports, to a new height. History will be made November 17 live on SHOWTIME.”

 

 

 

Shields was the first American boxer in history – мъж или жена – to win consecutive Olympic Gold Medals. Кремъка, Mich., native turned professional following the 2016 Olympics and became unified women’s super middleweight world champion in just her fourth professional fight. Shields moved down to middleweight for her June 22 headliner on SHOWTIME, defeating Hanna Gabriels to win the IBF and WBA titles and become a two-division champion in just her sixth professional contest.

 

 

 

Чук, of Dortmund, Германия, has been the dominant force in the women’s middleweight division since winning the WBO title in 2010. Hammer became unified champion in 2016 with a unanimous decision over WBC titlist Kali Reis and has made four defenses as unified champion. In her eight years as champion, Hammer has lost just a handful of rounds across 16 за световната титла на битки. Чук, who also models professionally and was recently featured at Fashion Week in New York City, made her U.S. debut on June 22 after campaigning mostly in Germany since turning professional in 2009.

ДЕТРОЙТ (Юни 23, 2018) – Claressa Shields became a two-division world champion, and Christina Hammer retained her two world title belts as both scored unanimous decision victories on Friday night on ПОКАЗВАНЕ НА БОКС: СПЕЦИАЛНО ИЗДАНИЕ from the Masonic Temple in Detroit, мен.

 

 

 

And now they have their sights set on one another.

 

 

 

The two-time Olympic Gold Medalist Shields of nearby Flint, Mich., was knocked down for the first time in her career 53 секунди след началото на първия кръг, but she was able to come back and win every round after that to become a two-division world champion capturing the vacant IBF and WBA Middleweight World Championships against Hanna Gabriels. The judges’ scored the fight 98-91, 97-92 два пъти.

 

 

 

Hammer entered the ring after the Shields fight, and an emotional Shields pressed toward Hammer and some pushing and shoving ensued. (see video ТУК)

 

 

 

“I’m just tired of Hammer disrespecting me all the time,” Shields (6-0, 2 Нокаута) каза. “She comes into the ring after all my rights, talks trash, and then she goes in there and looks like [crap] against Nelson. I’m sick of it. But I let her know I’m more than ready for a fight against her. She wanted me to lose tonight, but I wanted her to win because I want to fight her. We have to unify now.”

 

 

 

Shields and Gabriels started the fight swinging furiously, but it was Gabriels (18-2-1, 11 Нокаута) who connected on a right uppercut sending Shields to the canvas. (see the knockdown video ТУК)

 

 

 

“Once I went down, I took a deep breath and I remember thinking to myself, ‘I’m about to whip this girl’ ” Shields said. “I just remember thinking let’s use the jab and be smart.”

 

 

 

Costa Rica’s Gabriels, a unified 154-pound titleholder, was coming up in weight and attempting to become a three-division world champion. (see Shields-Gabriels highlights ТУК).

 

 

 

“I trained to go the distance but my heart betrayed me, because after that first knock down, I was looking for another one,” said Gabriels, the reigning WBA and WBO champion who was fighting in her 12тата straight world title fight since winning the welterweight title in 2009. “I wanted to show everyone I had a warrior’s heart.

 

 

 

“I didn’t feel I had an advantage after the knockdown. I felt I had to work round after round to even have a possibility to win.”

 

 

 

Added Gabriels: “She has a lot of power. It was a great fight and you have to accept the judges’ decision. She’s powerful and for the fans I think it went well.

 

 

 

Shields suffered a cut on the left cheek in round 10, and also overcame a head butt. She recalled being hurt by Gabriels’ punches to the head just three times in the fight. “The first round, fourth round and the eighth round, other than that she didn’t hit me with no head shots.”

 

 

 

Shields – in her first fight with new trainer John David Jackson – said she learned something about herself after the fight. “I can get put on my ass, get up and come back and win,” she said. “Tonight was my night and I have to show the world I’m the greatest of all-time. I showed who I am. Сега, I’m really dangerous because you can even put me down, and I’ll still come back to win.”

 

 

 

The difference in the fight was Shields’ accuracy, especially in terms of her power shots as she connected on 42 percent compared to Gabriels’ 26 на сто.

 

 

 

Shields was asked after the fight when she would like to face Hammer. “Hopefully it’s next,” she said. “I don’t need no rest. I could have whipped her tonight. I’m just so sick of her and her whole team.”

 

 

 

 

 

In a lopsided win in her highly anticipated U.S. дебют, Чук (23-0, 10 Нокаута) remained undefeated with a unanimous decision against Tori Nelson (17-2-3, 2 Нокаута). Резултатите бяха 100-90, 99-91 два пъти, to retain her WBC and WBO Middleweight World Title belts. (see Hammer-Nelson highlights ТУК).

 

 

 

“It would have been better to get a KO,” said Hammer, кой е 27 years old and from Dortmund, Германия. “I tried everything I could to get the knockout. She was tough. I hope the USA is good with this and I’m still the champ.”

 

 

 

“I’m really looking forward to fighting Claressa. She will try and fight me on the inside but my footwork and my reach will make the difference. The fight with Claressa will be a game-changer. It will be the biggest women’s fight ever. I would like to fight her at a neutral site.”

 

 

 

“I’m very disappointed in my performance tonight,” said an emotional Nelson after the fight. “It’s a loss, of course it’s disappointing. I wasn’t busy enough, I guess.”

 

 

 

In her last fight, Nelson lost a unanimous decision to Shields back in January. “Claressa is better,” Nelson said. “Shields has a jab and uses the ring. Claressa stands there and wants to fight. She has all the punches. Hammer only has one.”

 

 

 

В телевизията отварачка, Umar Salamov (21-1, 16 Нокаута) connected on a lethal right hand in knocking out Brian Howard (13-2, 10 Нокаута) 53 seconds into the ninth round of a scheduled 10-round light heavyweight bout.

 

 

 

Salamov, from Alkhan-Kala, Русия, was making his United States debut and trains at the famed Kronk Gym in Detroit with Javan “Sugar” Hill Steward. In a fight between two long and lanky fighters, Salamov landed 34 percent of his power punches compared to 27 percent for Howard and was ahead on all three judges’ scorecard at the time of the knockout.

 

 

 

“I was hurt a little bit in the second round from one of his shots, but I didn’t let it bother me because this is my U.S. дебют,” said Salamov, a six-year pro who is 24 възраст. “I just kept fighting. After I got hit with that punch, I started coming forward and as soon as I did that, the fight changed.”

 

 

 

Salamov said he knew once he connected on the first right that Howard was hurt. “I knew as soon as I landed the punch that he would be very hurt,"Той каза. “I felt it up to my elbow. I didn’t want to hit him after that because I knew he was finished.”

 

 

 

The former cruiserweight Howard had a couple of highlights and was able to effectively land his right hand on several occasions, including one powerful right cross in the seventh round that seemed to stun Salamov.

 

 

 

“I would say I did fair, I did OK,” said Howard, a former minor league football player who lives outside of Atlanta and was making his SHOWTIME debut. “I was fortunate to get the call by Salamov’s team and by SHOWTIME. I’ll be back.”

 

 

 

Friday’s tripleheader will replay on Monday, Юни 25 при 10 p.m. ET / PT на SHOWTIME EXTREME и ще бъде на разположение на SHOWTIME ANYTIME® и SHOWTIME по DEMAND®.

 

 

 

Бари Томпкинс нарече екшъна от ринга заедно с историка на бокса Стив Фардъти и бившия световен шампион Раул Маркес, служещи като експертни анализатори. Изпълнителен продуцент беше Гордън Хол с продуцент Ричард Гоган и режисьор Рик Филипс.
