DETROIT (Maig 10, 2018) – Two-time Olympic Gold Medalist and unified women’s super middleweight champion Claressa Shields worked out for the media and spoke to local youth Wednesday at The Downtown Boxing Gym in Detroit. The boxing star is two weeks into training camp ahead of her SHOWTIME BOXING: EDICIÓ ESPECIAL showdown Friday, Juny 22 a 10 p.m. ET/PT live on SHOWTIME from the historic Masonic Temple.

 

 

 

The 23-year-old Shields, who grew up in nearby Flint, will attempt to become a two-division world champion when she faces unified women’s 154-pound champion Hanna Gabriels for the vacant IBF and WBA Middleweight World Titles.

 

 

 

Ahead of the crucial middleweight world title fight, Shields has altered her preparations significantly. She has changed her diet, switched to renowned trainer John David Jackson and has moved her camp from Michigan to Florida.

 

 

Joining Shields at the workout on Wednesday was Dmitriy Salita, Founder of Salita Promotions. Here is what Shields and Salita had to say.

Claressa Escuts:

On fighting in Detroit…

“To fight in Detroit for a world title on SHOWTIME and to be mentioned with great Detroit fighters like Tommy Hearns and James Toney is incredible. Those guys are known worldwide. It shows me that I have a chance to do the same thing and bring attention to women’s boxing. That’s my goal overall – to make sure women’s boxing lives for a long time”

 

On moving camp to Florida…

“You really can’t deal with unnecessary distractions getting ready for big world title fights like I have been having. You want people pushing you to be better and not have people pulling you down.

 

 

 

“I was dealing with everybody who’s around pulling me left and right and calling me at 2, 3 o’clock in the morning. All this negative stuff that goes on in Flint that 23-year-olds are being involved in is something I can’t be involved in. That initially made me do the whole move. I have to stay focused and work hard on my goal of beating Hanna Gabriels and capturing the world title in a second division.

 

On training with John David Jackson…

“We’re on the same page and we’re always talking about the game plan for Hanna and what we’re going to do and what we have to work on. John doesn’t try to change my style, he just makes small adjustments to improve the good things that got me to this level. I feel great about this camp so far and I look forward to putting it all together in June.”

 

On Hanna Gabriels…

“Hanna is a talented world champion. I have a lot of respect for her skills and accomplishments. It takes great, competitive matches to bring women’s boxing to an elite level and that’s what I want to do. I always said that I want to fight the best. Al juny 22, I look forward to putting on a special performance for the fans watching the fight on SHOWTIME and those at the Masonic Temple. It’s going to be a special night and I can’t wait to capture my second division world title close to home in front of my hometown fans live on SHOWTIME.”

 

On being an inspiration for kids…

“Kids need to know that everything is possible. I decided to be an Olympic gold medalist at the age of 11. I did it when I was 17. How do you stay focused on one goal all that time? Take one step towards it every day, sometimes small and sometimes bigger. Però, the important thing is to keep focused on your goal. If you persevere and work hard enough, truly everything is possible”

 

Dmitriy Salita, Founder of Salita Promotions

“We had a tremendous media turnout at today’s media workout at Detroit Downtown Boxing Club. It’s very special to see such support for Claressa, who’s story and success transcends boxing and is very much in line with the comeback story of Flint and Detroit – “America’s Greatest Comeback City”.

 

 

 

“It’s very meaningful for kids in Detroit gyms like the Downtown Boxing Club to see someone that came from a similar background and neighborhood that they did and accomplish all the amazing things that Claressa is doing. Claressa makes them see and believe that through hard work, belief and focus everything is possible. Boxing is a tool that she has mastered with which to deliver this very important message.

 

 

 

“June 22 is going to be one of the biggest fights of the year and one of the most meaningful and memorable moments in sports and women’s boxing.”

Not long ago, Crews-Dezurn, an eight-time national amateur champion and two-time medalist at the World Amateur Championships, looked to be the face of American women’s boxing before Shields, a younger boxing prodigy, stole much of her thunder and her spot on the inaugural women’s Olympic boxing team.

“Training is going good,” said Crews-Dezurn. “I’ve been helping my husband Glenn get ready for his next fight, so I’m already in great shape. I’m very happy to be getting back in the ring.”

 

 

 

An entrepreneur, cantant, and business student in addition to boxing, the charismatic Crews-Dezurn is as marketable as any fighter could be, but has been forced to live in the sizable shadow cast by the success of Shields.

 

 

 

No obstant això, now that Shields is off chasing a showdown with German counterpart Christina Hammer at middleweight, the super middleweight division has an opening for a new world champion.

 

 

 

“I’d like to be fighting for a title within the next year,” continued Crews-Dezurn. “I know in my heart I’m right there with the best super middleweights in the world. I just need to keep working hard and let things happen like they should.”

 

 

 

Promoter Salita, a champion of women’s boxing and one of the main forces behind its resurgence, says Crews-Dezurn’s day is coming soon.

 

 

 

“Franchon will be world champion in the not-too-distant future,"Ell va dir. “She has all the skills and she works very hard to reach her goals. She deserves all the success she will have. I’m happy to be promoting her career. She’s a very special fighter and person.”

 

 

 

Crews-Dezurn’s opponent is currently TBA. “It’s Our Time to Shine” is presented by Salita Promotions.

VERONA, N.Y. (Jan. 13, 2018) – Unified Women’s Super Middleweight World Champion Claressa Shields dominated previously undefeated Tori Nelson en route to a 10-round unanimous decision in the main event of ShoBox: La Nova Generació Divendres on SHOWTIME from Turning Stone Resort Casino.

 

 

 

Shields controlled from opening to closing bell, sweeping 100-90 on all three judges’ scorecards in the first 10-round distance fight of her career. La 2012 i 2016 Olympic Gold Medalist out-landed Nelson 225-81 with her total punches, 186-70 in powers shots, and connected at a 44 percent clip with her power shots compared to just 20 percent for Nelson.

 

 

 

“I landed every shot that I thought possible to land,” Shields said. “She was tough, she wasn’t a pushover. She put on a good fight.”

 

 

 

Shields advanced to 5-0 with two knockouts in what was likely her final fight in the super middleweight division. The 22-year-old now has her sights set on the middleweight division where she will eventually target undefeated and Unified Women’s Middleweight World Champion Christina Hammer, who was ringside Divendres a Verona.

 

 

 

“I have to drop down and see how I feel (primer),” Shields said. “I think I could make 160 easy, I’m going to be bigger and stronger than any girl.

 

 

 

“Hammer just wants to scope. I think she’s pretty scared to be honest. She is more worried about me than I am about her. I’m going to kick Hammer’s ass. People think Hammer is more skilled than me so I can’t wait to show her that she’s not.”

 

 

 

Martell, who is expected to fight in a co-featured bout on the next Shields card, was interviewed by SHOWTIME analyst Steve Farhood and expressed excitement to make her U.S. debut and eventually face the American champion.

 

 

 

“It’s a great combination me and her on the same card,” Hammer said. “I can’t wait to show the fans who Christina Hammer is. That will be the best fight ever. It will be the game-changer for female boxing. It’s our time to shine.

 

 

 

“I’m long-time world champion and I have more experience. I have longer reach, I’m tall, I have good footwork and better technique than her. I feel the energy, and I can’t wait to fight against her.”

 

 

 

The former world champion Nelson (17-1-3, 2 KOs) became the 173rd undefeated fighter to suffer their first professional loss on ShoBox: La Nova Generació.

 

 

 

“I’m not happy because I didn’t win, but other than that I thought I executed pretty well,” said the 41-year-old Nelson. “I gave her a better fight than she was expecting.

 

 

 

“No disrespect to Claressa, she doesn’t have great power. She has great speed and she overwhelms you with a lot of punches. My movement threw her off like I knew it would but knowing she was the champion, I needed to just push a little bit more.”

 

 

 

Al ShoBox co-estel·lar, Jesse Hernandez narrowly defeated Ernesto Garza via split-decision in an action-packed fight that was scored 95-94 Hernández, 95-93 Garsa, 97-93 Hernández.

 

 

 

After a close first round, Garza floored Hernandez with a flush left hand to the nose in the closing moments of the second round. Hernandez recovered, and while the middle rounds featured tremendous back-and-forth action, Hernandez seemingly had no trouble walking down Garza, who’s punches seemed to lack any real power. Garsa (9-3, 5 KOs) found a second wind and seemed to pick up the eighth and ninth rounds until Hernandez roared back in an excellent 10º and final round that featured 178 cops totals.

 

 

 

Hernández (11-1, 7 KOs) aterrat 50 percent of his power punches and connected on 40 percent of his punches compared to just 28 percent for Garza, however he threw just 719 total punches compared to more than 1,000 by Garza.

 

“I think it should have been a unanimous decision,” Hernandez said. “I’ve always been a slow starter and I feel like I lost the first two rounds, especially with the knockdown. But I won pretty much every round after that, I maybe lost three rounds.

 

 

 

“I’m not completely happy with my performance. I have to control my distance and my range a little bit better. I need to go back to the gym and work on those things. Before the summer comes I hope to have another fight and I hope it’s on SHOWTIME.

 

 

 

“I give Garza a lot of credit for getting in the ring and knocking me down. He hung in there for 10 rounds even after I caught him with some good shots. He was able to withstand those shots, but all that said, I still think it should have been a unanimous decision.”

 

 

 

Garza countered that sentiment.

 

 

 

“I thought it was a bogus decision,” Garza said. “I don’t understand that last judge’s card. I was happy with everything that I did. I executed well and did everything I needed to do to win the fight.

 

 

 

“I’m really disappointed with the outcome. I felt that I won. A mi, I won a majority of the rounds and I knocked him down. I know knocking your opponent down usually leads to you winning the fight.”

 

 

 

Undefeated Uzbekistan power-puncher Shohjahon Ergashev handed Sonny Fredrickson the first loss of his career with an impressive third round TKO in the opening bout of the ShoBox transmissió per televisió.

 

 

 

The win over the top-10 ranked Fredrickson extended Ergashev’s perfect record to 12-0 amb 12 nocauts.

 

 

 

The 26-year-old pressed the action from the beginning, negating Fredrickson’s five-inch reach advantage with a steady diet of well-timed, crisp punches. Ergashev landed a wide left to the head that stumbled Fredrickson in the opening minute of the third and continued to tee-off as his opponent wobbled against the ropes With Fredrickson (18-1, 12 KOs) unable to defend himself and eating a series of brutal lefts, referee Benjy Esteves stepped in to stop the bout at 1:58 de la tercera.

 

 

 

All of Ergashev’s 61 connects in the bout were power shots, and he connected on 77 percent of his power punches in the third and final round.

 

 

 

“The ref saved him,” Ergashev said. “If he let him stay on his feet any longer I would have knocked him out. He couldn’t handle my power.

 

 

 

“At this stage of my career, I am in the best shape of my life and the best I have felt. This is my time right now, especially because I am training with Rick (Phillips) i (Javan) Sucre (Hill Steward). That’s what leads to all of my knockout power.

 

 

 

“I’m ready for whatever comes next. I’m ready for more fights in the U.S., and I want to keep getting more exposure to show off my skills. I’m ready to fight anybody in America.”

 

 

 

Fredrickson, who became the 172 fighter to suffer his professional loss on the prospect developmental series, suffered a jaw injury in the bout and was unavailable for comment.

 

 

 

Divendres de tripleheader will replay on Dilluns, Jan. 15 a 10 p.m. I/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME on DEMAND® and SHOWTIME ANYTIME®.

CITES FINALS:

 

 

Claressa ESCUTS:

 

 

"Tori porta molta més agressivitat, a lot more fight than a lot of my previous opponents. En paper, ella té el millor full de vida de qualsevol oponent que he enfrontat i puc aguantar una millor lluita.

 

 

 

"Tothom em subestima causa de la meva mida. El meu cos es veu com si fos una 140 però en realitat soc una 168. Tothom entra en una baralla pensant que poden guanyar, but once that right hand lands everything changes. I’m going to go after her in the first round and get her out of there like Nikki Adler.

 

 

 

"Espero que el meu oponent per aplicar pressió, i utilitzar algunes tàctiques brutes. Ella té més experiència, però no tant quan es parla de la seva experiència com a aficionat.

 

 

 

“She’s confident and she believes in herself. She thinks I haven’t earned my place yet. She doesn’t think I throw hard punches. Speed is power. She doesn’t get that.

 

 

 

"Aquest ha estat un camp de força, realment vaig empènyer. Jo sòl fer sis setmanes, aquesta vegada ho vaig fer vuit setmanes. No hi havia lluitat des de l'agost, així que volia donar-me un extra de dues setmanes, així que sabia que estava en perfecte estat.

 

 

 

"No hi ha dubte que inici l'any amb una victòria, però veig això com una lluita competitiva. Vaig a haver de portar-se la victòria, però crec que puc KO ella pel sisè, setena ronda ".

 

 

 

BOUS NELSON:

 

 

"Sé que sóc el més feble, però se m'ha caigut a nou persones. Ella no ha anotat un enderroc però, com un professional. Quan es va convertir en professional Claressa, Jo sabia que hauria de fer front a la seva eventual.

 

 

 

"Una victòria és el que vaig venir a buscar. I expect nothing different. I hope it would expose female boxing and not only open doors for me, però altres boxadores que ve després de mi.

 

 

 

"Sento que és més entretingut per veure una baralla femenina. Quan les dones cauen, aconsegueixen la dreta cap amunt i va a buscar de nou. Quan els homes fan caure, comencen a amagar-se perquè no volen ser colpejat de nou. Així que crec que hauríem de rebre una paga tant com els homes.

 

 

 

"Estic beneït de ser aquí, but I’m not a winner until I complete what I came here to do. And that’s win. The odds are definitely against me, però vaig a sorprendre al món.

 

 

 

“I want to take her into the deep waters. We don’t think she can beat us in a 10-round fight.

 

 

 

"No em donaran res. I have to be a dog and go in there and win this fight. I’ve always been aggressive. Why change anything for her?"

 

 

 

JESSE HERNANDEZ

 

 

"Només estic intentant apropar-se a una baralla pel títol. Movent en la classificació és l'objectiu principal en aquest moment, i estic en el camí correcte. Una victòria aquí en una baralla a 10 assalts seria enorme per a la meva carrera.

 

 

 

"Com que és un tot-al voltant de combat és una cosa que estic treballant. Però no es pot convertir en un lluitador complet fins a obtenir l'experiència i les baralles i això és el que estic treballant fent en aquest moment. Vull aconseguir més rondes i el progrés en.

 

 

 

"La lluita contra un esquerrà no és un problema per a mi. Puc canviar la meva postura, però no és una cosa que penso o pla. El que ocorre de forma natural en una baralla.

 

 

 

"Sempre he cregut en mi mateix, tot i que vaig prendre temps lliure. Jo creia que podia tornar-hi i arribar a un nivell superior. The wins over two undefeated fighters did a lot for my confidence. I knew I could do it, però va mostrar altres pertanyo i que puc competir al més alt nivell ".

 

 

 

ERNESTO GARZA

 

 

"M'agrada portar la pressió, and he’s a pressure fighter too. We’ll see who backs up once we start throwing punches.

 

 

 

“I like to face fighters who come forward like him so I think everything will work for me. I plan on applying the pressure, aconseguir el cansat en les últimes rondes, i traient-.

 

 

 

"Tendeix a canviar, but I think that’s when he gets off-balance. He won’t bring anything I haven’t seen before.

 

 

 

“I’m fighting at my natural weight class this time. My last fight on ShoBox (contra l'invicte Jon Fernández) Jo estava lluitant un pes molt més gran.

 

 

 

“I don’t think his height and reach will give me any issues. I’ve been working with a lot of guys in the gym who have similar size and style. We’re ready for anything.

 

 

 

“A win would be a great step for me and my career. All the doors would open up for us.”

 

 

 

Després de la Shakh:

 

 

"M'encanta entrenar aquí pel fet que és un ambient diferent aquí als Estats. És una veritable instal·lació professional, Sento que les meves habilitats i la meva tècnica han millorat molt entrenament aquí amb Sugar Hill.

 

 

 

"Jo sé que ell és un lluitador experimentat. Està invicte i ve a lluitar. És una gran oportunitat per als dos.

 

 

 

"Estic molt honrat d'estar en Showtime i feliç d'estar rebent aquest tipus d'exposició nacional. Una victòria em consolidaria com un dels millors prospectes de pes welter júnior en el món.

 

 

 

"He millorat molt entrenament al Gimnàs Kronk a Detroit boxa. Darrera camp d'entrenament va ser una introducció a l'estil americà de boxa i aquest campament realment ha millorat la meva tècnica i la tàctica amb l'intens combat.

 

 

 

"Estic 11-0 amb 11 nocauts. Sóc un colpejador i vull noquejar, però m'he entrenat per la distància. He entrenat per colpejar a algú en la primera ronda i la vuitena ronda.

 

 

 

"Aquest és un gran pas en oposició, però he tingut més de 200 baralles com amateur en contra d'alguns dels millors boxejadors aficionats al món. M'he colpejat medallistes olímpics i boxejadors aficionats molt aconseguits ".

 

 

 

SONNY Fredrickson

 

 

"He estat esperant aquesta exposició durant molt de temps. He estat tractant de sortir a la televisió durant els últims dos o tres anys, així que això és un gran problema per a mi. És d'esperar una victòria em xoca a la part superior 5 i em dóna una oportunitat pel títol al final d'aquest any o principis de l'any.

 

 

 

"Ens entrenem molt amb Robert (Pasqua). It’s back-and-forth action. We grew up together and learn a lot from each other. Li dono alguns consells aquí i allà i ell fa el mateix per a mi.

 

 

 

"No sé molt sobre la meva oponent. Jo sé que ell és esquerrà i té un fort cop. És un bon partit per a mi. Vol seguir venint cap endavant i terrestres grans trets així que seré capaç de safata de sortida amb força facilitat.

 

 

 

"No crec que els nervis seran factor de. He lluitat a la targeta d'Andre Ward, He estat en grans baralles abans.

 

 

 

"Vaig a noquejar després de la tercera ronda. Vaig a dir, Eh, treure-ho d'aquí.

 

 

 

"Després d'aquesta baralla, Es posen en marxa l'aprenentatge del meu nom. Crec que van a voler veure que jo tinc una oportunitat pel 140 lliura del títol ".

"Em sento genial. Realment em va empènyer aquest campament. Era un camp més llarg del que és habitual pel que he tingut prou temps per estar a punt.
