Слова – "Зараз гэта сапраўды непрадказальнае асяроддзе. Бокс - міжнародны від спорту. Цяпер як ніколі, байцы прыязджаюць у ЗША. трэніравацца і змагацца. Гэта вельмі важна, каб увесь свет вылечваўся, каб усё было нармальна ".

Уолін – "Гэты вірус вельмі сур'ёзны. Людзі паміраюць - людзі з трэнажорнай залы памерлі. У мяне не было шмат сімптомаў, калі ў мяне было, але гэта распаўсюдзілася на хлопца маёй маці, які дыябетык, і ён вельмі хворы. Калі ты дома, не заставайся толькі на канапе. Трэба прыдумаць ідэі, каб заняць сябе і зрабіць што-небудзь ».

Пра захаванне формы падчас каранціну ...

Уолін – "Я спрабую зрабіць усё магчымае ў сітуацыі, і я магу шмат зрабіць з таго, што ёсць зараз. Працуе добра. Я раблю ўдары па боксе па сцяне і шмат боксаў у цені ".

Слова – «Мы думалі, як захаваць сувязь паміж байцамі і балельшчыкамі. Усе затрымаліся дома, ніхто не можа ісці на працу, і важна заставацца здаровым і актыўным. Мы думалі, што можам паведаміць заўзятарам пра тое, што байцы робяць дома і падтрымліваць сувязь паміж усімі. "

Што далей для Wallin ...

Слова – "У барацьбе з [Тайсан] З лютасцю бачыце, наколькі дзіўны быў яго выступ. Лікі не хлусяць, Ота нанёс больш удараў супраць Ф'юры, чым любы супернік у тым ліку [Уладзімір] Клічко і [Deontay] Уайлдэр - у першай барацьбе. Ота - змагар сусветнага ўзроўню, і, спадзяюся, мы вернемся да справы, і ён можа паказаць, што ён адзін з лепшых цяжкавагавікоў у свеце ".

Fighting on the undercard of the World Boxing Super Series Cruiserweight Tournament doubleheader Ergashev elicited “oohs and ahhhs” from the crowd with his brutal display of force. Former unified super lightweight and current welterweight champion Terence Crawford was among the impressed onlookers in the crowd.

 

 

 

Ergashev’s promoter, Dmitriy Salita, says that in preparation for this fight, Ergashev had been knocking out heavyweights in the Kronk Gym where he trains.

 

 

 

“Shohjahon is one of the hardest punchers in any weight class,” said Salita. “His skills and physical strength make him not only one of the best in his division, but I believe one of the most exciting and powerful fighters in all of boxing.”

 

 

 

26-year-old Ergashev growls that he’s ready for anyone in the world.

 

 

 

“I want to fight the best names in the division and look forward to having an opponent that can last some rounds with me! I am coming!"

Tyner and Chambliss Grudge Match Ready to Explode on October 26 у Дэтройце

In boxing, there are “grudge” matches manufactured to sell fights, where the hostility is mostly acting. Напрыклад, there are indications of that in the buildup to Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury’s upcoming showdown.

 

 

 

And then sometimes, two fighters really, really don’t like each other. Think Terence Crawford taking out Jose Benavidez Jr., recently.

 

 

 

In Detroit, the latter type of grudge match, a real grudge match, has heated to a boil on social media. With insults and threats going back-and-forth daily, outspoken Detroit boxing staple Lanardo “Pain Server” Tyner (34-13-2, 21 КО) and upstart opponent Cortez Chambliss (4-0, 4 КО) have been escalating hostilities since the day their match-up was announced.

 

 

 

The two Detroit-based welterweights will finally settle their differences in the eight-round main event on Friday, Кастрычнік 26, at the MotorCity Casino Hotel.

 

Tickets priced between $180-$25 and are available through Ticketmaster outlets.

 

 

 

“He’s trying to bunny hop over me, but he’s not ready,” said an animated Tyner. The 43-year-old is known as a fearless and iron-jawed spoiler. A 14-year veteran, Tyner has been the 12-round distance with elite superstar Canelo Alvarez and world champions such as Lamont Peterson and Antonio DeMarco. He’s also taken out a number of prospects who found out too late they were in too deep.

 

 

 

“I can’t believe he even called me out,” continued Tyner. “He’s going to get a beating. This isn’t the amateurs and there are no shortcuts. This is not the door to come through.”

 

 

 

A heavily decorated former amateur, 21-year-old Chambliss has been flawless, да гэтага часу, як прафесійны. With power in both hands and above-average speed, Chambliss looks like a new face in the resurgent Motown boxing scene.

 

 

 

“This fight is personal to me,"Ён сказаў. “Not for the same reasons as my opponent; anger and hostility have nothing to do with it. Для мяне, it’s all about the energy of the risk and challenge. That’s what life is about: ‘growth through challenge,’ so I’m excited for this opportunity.”

 

 

 

Падзея, entitled “Night of Knockouts XIV” is presented by Carlos Llinas, in cooperation with Dmitriy Salita.

 

 

 

“Carlos Llinas has delivered a consistent, successful series, which has served as a development ground for many notable names in the sport,- сказаў Дзмітрый Слова. “This match between Chambliss and Tyner is a classic crossroads fight, with a young, undefeated contender and a proven veteran. A ‘must win’ for both that I know will deliver for the fans. I am happy to be involved with the upcoming event and working together towards producing top contenders and champions in the championship city of Detroit.”

 

 

 

“This is the number one boxing and MMA series in the country that has been going on for nine years and I’m glad to be working with Salita Promotions on this event,” said Carlos Llinas. “It’s good for fighters and everyone involved when promoters can work with each other and provide a platform for fighters to reach the next level.”

 

 

 

Акрамя таго, на карце, one of the most promising young fighters in Detroit’s resurgent boxing scene, undefeated bantamweight Ja’Rico “Great Lakes King” O’Quinn (9-0-1, 6 КО), will return to action six-round bout against former world-title challenger Christian “Italiano” Esquivel of Mexico (30-15-1, 23 КО).

Russian Contenders Salamov, Idigov and Davtaev Score Impressive Victories in Grozny

All three of Salita Promotions’ Russia-based contenders, light heavyweight Umar Salamov, super middleweight Aslambek “The Hulk” Idigov and heavyweight Apti Davtaev scored impressive victories in Russia today.

 

 

 

Fighting in the main event at the Grozny City Hotel in Grozny, and live in Russia on Match TV, IBF #11- and WBO #15-rated Umar Salamov moved to 22-1, 17 KOs with a two-round KO over Denis Liebau (23-3, 21 КО) of Frankfurt Germany.

 

 

 

Fighting for the WBO International Light Heavyweight Championship, Salamov came out firing in round two, landing a perfect left hook to the body that dropped Liebau for the count. The official time was 2:15.

 

 

 

WBO #14-rated super middleweight Aslambek Idigov (14-0, 6 КО) destroyed former African champion Daniel Wanyonyi (27-13-2, 22 КО) of Kenya in two brutal rounds. Idigov dropped Wanyonyi three times with a series of brutal right hands. The fight was waved off at 2:32. Idigov is now the WBO Asia Pacific Super Middleweight Champion.

 

 

 

Heavyweight crusher Apti Davtaev (16-0-1, 15 КО) took out the Ukraine’s Evgeny German Skobenko in six dominant rounds. A serious prospect in the big man’s division, Davtaev was way too powerful for the normally capable Skobenko, pushing him around until the fateful round, where a solid mix of unanswered shots brought an end at 2:40.

 

 

 

“All three fighters did their jobs well today,” said their co-promoter, Dmitriy Salita. “They are all future champions and they looked the part today against respectable opponents. I am proud of all them. The work they have been doing at Kronk Gym is really showing through in their dominant performances.”

Power Punching Shoh Ergashev Wins Again in Russia, Calls Out Brandon Rios, Post-Fight

Undefeated junior welterweight slugger Shohjahon “Shoh” Ergashev notched another dominating victory on Sunday night, in front of a packed house at the Korston Club Hotel Moscow, ў Маскве, Расія, as he demolished opponent Juma Waswa in four one-sided rounds.

 

 

 

Fighting in the 10-round main event, Uzbekistan-born southpaw Ergashev (зараз 13-0, 12 КО) was even able to drop Uganda’s Waswa for the first and second times ever, before stopping him the first time in his career.

 

 

 

Ergashev showed his versatility, as he dug a lot of punches to the body to lower the defense of his opponent, who was fighting out of a high-hand-raised peekaboo stance. Throughout the fight, Waswa (зараз 10-3-1, 4 КО) didn’t manage to land even one clean punch.

 

 

 

Пасля гэтага, the confident Ergashev called for a high-profile opponent to face him.

 

 

 

“I am happy I got to get in some rounds and the fight concluded as I wished with a stoppage,” said Ergashev, “but now I am ready to come back to the US and get some big names under my belt. How about Brandon Rios? I would break him in half.”

 

 

 

25-year-old Ergashev, a national hero in Uzbekistan, trains at the Kronk Boxing Gym in Detroit under the watchful eyes of Javan SugarHill Steward and co-trainer Rick Phillips.

 

 

 

“Shoh is one of the most exciting and hardest punchers in boxing,” said Ergashev’s promoter, Dmitriy Salita. “I feel very confident that he can beat all the champions in the division and he is still getting better in every fight. With his power, the sky is the limit.”
