DETROIT (Mayo 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: EDICIÓN ESPECIAL showdown Friday, Junio 22 en 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 Escudos:

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. En Junio 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. Pero, 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.”

Sin embargo, 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.”

“Franchon will be world champion in the not-too-distant future,"Él dijo. “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 Nueva Generación Viernes 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 y 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,”Dijo Shields. “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 Viernes en Verona.

 

 

 

“I have to drop down and see how I feel (primero),”Dijo Shields. “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.”

 

 

 

Martillo, 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 Nueva Generación.

 

 

 

“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.”

 

 

 

En el ShoBox co-estelar, Jesse Hernandez narrowly defeated Ernesto Garza via split-decision in an action-packed fight that was scored 95-94 Hernández, 95-93 Garza, 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. Garza (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 golpes totales.

 

 

 

Hernández (11-1, 7 KOs) aterrizado 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 mí, 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 transmisión por televisión.

 

 

 

The win over the top-10 ranked Fredrickson extended Ergashev’s perfect record to 12-0 con 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) y (Javan) Azúcar (Mayordomo de la colina). 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, quien se convirtió en el 172 fighter to suffer his professional loss on the prospect developmental series, suffered a jaw injury in the bout and was unavailable for comment.

 

 

 

Viernes de tripleheader will replay on Lunes, Jan. 15 en 10 p.m. Y/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME on DEMAND® and SHOWTIME ANYTIME®.

Woodard tomó una gran cantidad de cuero duro y merece crédito por su dureza. Crews-Dezurn mostró clase en no tomar el cebo para la mayor parte de la lucha. Ella hizo perder un punto en la sexta entrada para un derribo venganza solapada.
Las puntuaciones fueron 59-53, 59-54 y 59-54.
Detroit través de Magnitogorsk, Russia’s Alexey Zubov outworked a determined Lamont “Demasiado suave” Alcaparras de Hawley, Pensilvania, en su camino a una decisión mayoritaria de seis asaltos.
Una pelea entretenida entre los pesos cruceros puro y duro, Zubov fue cortado sobre el ojo derecho y tuvo algunos buenos golpes, sino simplemente outworked los Capers más selectivos. Zubov mostró su condicionamiento a menudo superior y trabajó detrás de un jab educado, mientras Capers se limitó a poner contra las cuerdas y golpes bajos duros de la tierra con la suficiente frecuencia para mantener el interés.
Una puntuación de 57-57 sorteo se sobre-gobernado por las cuentas 59-56 y 58-56 para la dura ruso. Con la victoria, Zubov mueve su récord a 17-1, 9 KOs. Alcaparras cae 8-11-3.

Claressa ESCUDOS:

 

 

“Tori trae mucha más agresividad, a lot more fight than a lot of my previous opponents. En papel, ella tiene la mejor hoja de vida de cualquier oponente que he enfrentado y puedo aguantar una mejor lucha.

 

 

 

“Todo el mundo me subestima debido a mi tamaño. Mi cuerpo se ve como si fuera una 140 pero en realidad soy una 168. Todo el mundo entra en una pelea pensando que pueden ganar, 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 mi oponente para aplicar presión, y utilizar algunas tácticas sucias. Ella tiene más experiencia, pero no tanto cuando se habla de su experiencia como amateur.

 

 

 

“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.

 

 

 

“Este ha sido un campo de fuerza, Realmente empujé. Yo suelo hacer seis semanas, esta vez lo hice ocho semanas. No había luchado desde agosto, así que quería darme un extra de dos semanas, así que sabía que estaba en perfecto estado.

 

 

 

“No hay duda de que inicio el año con una victoria, pero veo esto como una lucha competitiva. Voy a tener que llevarse la victoria, pero creo que puedo KO ella por el sexto, séptima ronda “.

 

 

 

TOROS NELSON:

 

 

“Sé que soy el más débil, pero se me ha caído a nueve personas. Ella no ha anotado un derribo sin embargo, como un profesional. Cuando se convirtió en profesional Claressa, Yo sabía que tendría que hacer frente a su eventual.

 

 

 

“Una victoria es lo que vine a buscar. I expect nothing different. I hope it would expose female boxing and not only open doors for me, pero otras boxeadoras que viene después de mí.

 

 

 

“Siento que es más entretenido para ver una pelea femenina. Cuando las mujeres se caen, consiguen la derecha hacia arriba y va a buscar de nuevo. Cuando los hombres derriban, empiezan a esconderse porque no quieren ser golpeado de nuevo. Así que creo que deberíamos recibir una paga tanto como los hombres.

 

 

 

“Estoy bendecido de estar 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, pero voy a sorprender al mundo.

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

“No me van a dar nada. 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

 

 

“Sólo estoy tratando de acercarse a una pelea por el título. Moviendo en la clasificación es el objetivo principal en este momento, y estoy en el camino correcto. Una victoria aquí en una pelea a 10 asaltos sería enorme para mi carrera.

 

 

 

“Al ser un todo-en torno de combate es algo que estoy trabajando. Pero no se puede convertirse en un luchador completo hasta obtener la experiencia y las peleas y eso es lo que estoy trabajando haciendo en este momento. Quiero conseguir más rondas y el progreso en.

 

 

 

“La lucha contra un zurdo no es un problema para mí. Puedo cambiar mi postura, pero no es algo que pienso o plan. Lo que ocurre de forma natural en una pelea.

 

 

 

“Siempre he creído en mí mismo, aun cuando tomé tiempo libre. Yo creía que podía volver a ella y llegar a un nivel superior. The wins over two undefeated fighters did a lot for my confidence. I knew I could do it, pero mostró otras pertenezco y que puedo competir al más alto nivel “.

 

 

 

ERNESTO GARZA

 

 

“Me gusta llevar la presión, 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, conseguir lo cansado en las últimas rondas, y sacándolo.

 

 

 

“Tiende a cambiar, 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 el invicto Jon Fernández) Yo estaba luchando un peso mucho mayor.

 

 

 

“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.”

 

 

 

Tras la Shakh:

 

 

“Me encanta entrenar aquí por el hecho de que es un ambiente diferente aquí en los Estados. Es una verdadera instalación profesional, Siento que mis habilidades y mi técnica han mejorado mucho entrenamiento aquí con Sugar Hill.

 

 

 

“Yo sé que él es un luchador experimentado. Está invicto y viene a luchar. Es una gran oportunidad para los dos.

 

 

 

“Estoy muy honrado de estar en Showtime y feliz de estar recibiendo este tipo de exposición nacional. Una victoria me consolidaría como uno de los mejores prospectos de peso welter junior en el mundo.

 

 

 

“He mejorado mucho entrenamiento en el Gimnasio Kronk en Detroit boxeo. Última campo de entrenamiento fue una introducción al estilo americano de boxeo y este campamento realmente ha mejorado mi técnica y la táctica con el intenso combate.

 

 

 

"Estoy 11-0 con 11 nocauts. Soy un golpeador y quiero noquear, pero me he entrenado para la distancia. He entrenado para golpear a alguien en la primera ronda y la octava ronda.

 

 

 

“Este es un gran paso en oposición, pero he tenido más de 200 peleas como amateur en contra de algunos de los mejores boxeadores aficionados en el mundo. Me he golpeado medallistas olímpicos y boxeadores aficionados muy logrados “.

 

 

 

SONNY Fredrickson

 

 

“He estado esperando esta exposición durante mucho tiempo. He estado tratando de salir en la televisión durante los últimos dos o tres años, así que esto es un gran problema para mí. Es de esperar una victoria me choca en la parte superior 5 y me da una oportunidad por el título al final de este año o principios del próximo año.

 

 

 

“Nos entrenamos mucho con Robert (Pascua). It’s back-and-forth action. We grew up together and learn a lot from each other. Le doy algunos consejos aquí y allí y él hace lo mismo para mí.

 

 

 

“No sé mucho acerca de mi oponente. Yo sé que él es zurdo y tiene un fuerte golpe. Es un buen partido para mí. Quiere seguir viniendo hacia adelante y terrestres grandes tiros así que seré capaz de bandeja de salida con bastante facilidad.

 

 

 

“No creo que los nervios serán factor de. He luchado en la tarjeta de Andre Ward, He estado en grandes peleas antes.

 

 

 

“Voy a noquear después de la tercera ronda. Voy a decir, ¡eh, sácalo de aquí.
