Training Camp Almost Complete; A Confident and On-Weight Claressa Shields Ready for Hannah Rankin DAZN Showdown on November 17

Skryf 'n opmerking

Women’s superstar and two-division world champion Claressa Shields is in Florida with trainer John David Jackson, finishing up preparations for her showdown with Glasgow, Scotland’s Hannahh Rankin on Saturday, November 17, at the Kansas Star Arena and Casino in Mulvane, Kansas.

 

 

 

Shields (6-0, 2 Uitklophoue) will defend her IBF and WBA World Middleweight Championships, and be looking to add the vacant WBC title, against Rankin (5-2, 1 KO) in the 10-round co-featured bout to Salita Promotions stablemate Jarrell Miller’s heavyweight showdown against Romania’s Bogdan Dinu.

 

 

 

Both fights, along with former world champion Brandon Rios taking on Canelo’s brother, Ramon Alvarez, in a super welterweight 10-rounder and former two-time world middleweight title challenger Gabriel Rosado going against once-beaten contender Luis Arias, will be broadcast live on DAZN.

 

 

 

23-year-old Shields, a former two-time Olympic Gold Medallist, has reignited interest in women’s boxing and become a ratings favorite for her nationally televised championship exploits. A proud native of Flint, Michigan, Shields mixes her brash pronouncements of greatness with a genuine and continued effort to inspire female athletes and render aid to members of her home community.

 

 

 

Shields was originally scheduled to face WBC and WBO World Middleweight Champion Christina Hammer on November 17, but the bout was postponed after Hammer withdrew due to medical reasons.

 

Did the change of opponents from Hammer to Rankin affect your training?

 

 

 

I don’t train for my opponents, I just push to get the best out of me, fisies en geestelik. If I’m the best ‘me,’ I don’t have to worry about who the opponent is. The change of opponents didn’t bother me at all; the worst thing about this camp for me was just all the date changes – constantly having to get my mind focused on the pace and timing of training depending on the fight date. I can’t wait to get in the ring!

 

You’ve fought at super middleweight 168 and recently at middleweight 160 pond. How is your training, diet and any other efforts different to make 160?

 

 

 

Training is always hard and I’m constantly learning. I’ve had a completely different diet this camp – a real change and a positive one for me. I’ve teamed up with Perfecting Athletes for my daily meals, and I feel great. I’ve always tried to eat healthy but these folks are pros and are more educated in that field than myself. I have this magic drink that makes my stomach smile – I love it! It’s watermelon mixed with a green vegetable. I’m not going to tell you what vegetable it is, but I’ve been drinking it everyday, and I feel GREAT.

 

Your viewership numbers have been very strong. Why do you think people are drawn to you?

 

 

 

I believe that people are drawn to how real and honest I am, beide in en uit van die ring. I say what I mean and mean what I say. I’m hard but I have a soft side also. And I think people are drawn to how I fight — not only do I talk a good game but I fight my a– off too! ek gee 1000% every time – I want to change the game and bring a whole new generation of fans to women’s boxing and boxing overall.

 

What do you know about your opponent Hannah Rankin?

 

 

 

I know that my opponent Rankin is very tough and determined to be a world champion. I like her drive, I like her heart. I know that she has been in the ring as a sparring partner for many champions, one being Christina Hammer. So Rankin has seen some good fighters. But one thing is for sure – she has never seen a fighter like me. And since Hammer couldn’t fight because of her medical condition, in many ways the next best thing is to fight and beat her sparring partner and let Rankin tell Hammer what she’s in for when she returns!

 

What needs to be done to solve the Flint water crisis?

 

 

To solve the flint Water crisis, I think that people should continue to give water and also keep it in the news that there is a city in America where, unbelievably, US citizens don’t have clean water. And hopefully the president or our governor do something to fix all the pipes.

 

What’s the secret to becoming the best of the best in any sport?

 

 

 

I believe the secret starts with believing in yourself, being dedicated, working hard and just always striving to be better. I feel I’m my biggest critic when I train and box. It’s hard to watch film of my fights because even though I’m doing 97 things right I just can’t stand to see the 3 things I’m doing wrong. I’m a person who strives to pull out my full potential. It takes guts to be great. Nothing will stand in the way of achieving my goals, which includes being the GWOAT and creating equality for all women fighters when it comes to the money, opportunities and coverage the men get.

Skryf 'n opmerking

Op Saterdag, November 17, at the Kansas Star Arena and Casino in Mulvane, Kansas, superstar two-division women’s world champion Claressa Shields of Flint, Michigan, will defend her IBF and WBA World Middleweight Championships and be looking to add the vacant WBC title against Hannahh Rankin from Glasgow, Skotland.

 

 

 

The 10-round Shields (6-0, 2 Uitklophoue), and Rankin (5-2, 1 KO) battle will serve as the co-featured bout to Brooklyn-born heavyweight contender Jarrell Miller’s WBA World Heavyweight Championship showdown against Romania’s Bogdan Dinu.

 

 

 

These two fights will be broadcast live on DAZN, along with former world champion Brandon Rios taking on Canelo’s brother, Ramon Alvarez, in a super welterweight 10-rounder and former two-time world middleweight title challenger Gabriel Rosado going against once-beaten contender Luis Arias.

 

 

 

Shields was originally scheduled to face WBC and WBO World Middleweight Champion Christina Hammer on November 17, but the bout was postponed after Hammer withdrew due to medical reasons. Hammer has been named a champion in recess during her recovery. The two champions are now projected to do battle in the first quarter of 2019.

 

 

 

“Claressa is a once-in-a-generation athlete that transcends the sport,” said her promoter, Dmitriy Salita. “She will take another step in her goal to achieve the status of GWOAT as she makes the first defense of her middleweight world titles against the skilled and durable Hannah Rankin.”

 

 

 

A bonafide women’s superstar and TV ratings favorite, 23-year-old “T-Rex” Shields is a two-time Olympic gold medallist and already a world champion in two weight divisions. In her fourth professional fight, she won the IBF and WBC Super Middleweight Championships in August 2017 with a dominant stoppage of Germany’s Nikki Adler. Dan, in June of this year and in just her sixth pro fight, she dropped down to 160 pounds and won the IBF and WBA Middleweight titles with an exciting unanimous decision over Hannah Gabriels.

 

 

 

“I’m so excited to be able to give my fans another chance to see me defend my championship this year and to have the opportunity to win the WBC middleweight title on November 17,” said Shields. “I appreciate the efforts of Salita Promotions, my manager Mark Taffet, and Matchroom Boxing in putting this fight together so quickly. I will be in great shape and will provide a great performance.”

 

 

 

“I want to thank Salita Promotions and Matchroom Boxing for providing Claressa with another chance to fight this year and an opportunity to attain a third middleweight world championship,” said Mark Taffet, manager of Claressa Shields. “Claressa is hungry and motivated to put on a great performance on November 17 on 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. Voor dit, 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.”

Skotse Promoter Thomas Melville het sy bedoelings duidelik vir almal om te sien met sy debuut gebeurtenis Saterdag nag, selfs met ernstig groot dramas in die aanloop tot die gebeurtenis, insluitende die verlies van een van sy groot trek, voormalige WBO veertje King Scott Harrison, van die kaart net 'n paar weke voor, en twee verdere wedstryd-ups laat val in die dae wat gelei het tot die show, maar die uitgeslape Scotsman steeds daarin geslaag om 'n uitstekende produseer, hoewel dit kleiner, gebeurtenis.

Hoof van die show was Glasgow se voormalige Statebond-kampioen Craig Docherty teen Dundalk, Ierland se Michael Kelly vir die vakante World Boxing Unie (WBU) Wêreld Super Welterweight titel.

Die atmosfeer was elektriese as die twee partye het hul toegang tot die arena, die Skotse ondersteuners seker weet hoe om 'n geleentheid te maak soos hierdie baie spesiale.

Reg van die opening klok beide boksers het hul voorneme kristalhelder en binne sekondes die toon tot toon stryd vir die sentrum ring in alle erns begin.

Toe ek toe sê toe ek bedoel toe te toon, Alhoewel baie van die aksie was van naby, by tye hulle was wat naby aan mekaar dat jy kon nie 'n sigaret papier ingewig tussen hulle, soveel so dat die skeidsregter Lee Murtagh het geen ander keuse as om hulle te waarsku oor die hoof botsings op verskeie geleenthede.

Nou, selfs al was hulle wat naby nie man het verdedigende, beide klem hul uitsonderlike gereedskap van die handel tot groot effek, met gladde hakies en boonste sny uit alle hoeke.

Docherty het daarin geslaag om net oor te beveilig die eerste paar rondtes, net soos hulle so eweredig gekoppel, maar in die derde Kelly trap dit, wat homself 'n bietjie ruimte wat hy werklik het in 'n vloei en is laat rip met skitterende skote uit elke enkele denkbare hoek.

Docherty gereageer in soortgelyke trant, egter die handigheid van Kelly se werk het dit 'n opwaartse stryd vir die Glasgow.

Die vierde ronde te sien Docherty verandering taktiek, die gebruik van sy steek tot groot effek op die opstel van die openinge in orde te laat rip met 'n paar bose liggaam skote, egter die Ier was baie gelukkig om te geniet van hierdie voor die stryd teen met kragtige regte en die af en toe dubbel oorhandig vlaag.

Die vyfde ronde was 'n skouspelagtige ronde, beide spelers het die tempo nog verder, wat uiteindelik gelei het tot 'n paar vreesaanjaende ruil. Dit was werklik moeilik om te besluit wie die beste of as óf outfought gevaar of outworked die ander, ja dit was wat naby.

 

Meer van dieselfde in die sesde, boy oh boy het hulle gaan dit hamer en tang vir die eerste paar minute of so van die ronde.

Soos die klok intrek in die laaste minuut van die ronde Docherty begin om terug Kelly up, voordat laat rip met 'n blitsige reg dat Kelly gedaal soos 'n sak aartappels.

In 'n oomblik Skeidsregter het Lee Murtagh om hulp die Ier en waai die stryd af, wat Docherty gestuur, sy span en ondersteuners in 'n vreugdevolle waansin.

Het om te sê wat 'n waarderende skare in bywoning, as die cheers van vreugde vir Docherty is oortref deur die pragtige onthaal het hulle Michael Kelly soos hy opgestaan ​​om sy voete, Dit was ware fans, hul man gewen het, maar hulle was net so dankbaar vir die pragtige prestasie van die Ier.

Net voor Docherty gekroon die nuwe WBU Super Welterweight Kampioen die amptelike tyd van die oponthoud is aangekondig, as twee minute en nege sekondes van die sesde.

Main ondersteuning vir die Docherty-Kelly titelgeveg is gestig om Edinburgh se Craig McEwan teen Newport se Lee Churcher, maar dit was nie te wyte te wees om 'n gewig verskil dat nie was in die tyd opgelos moet word, so 'n paar vinnige onderhandelinge gelei tot Nottingham gebaseer Tsjeggiese vegter Vaclav Skromach opgestel in 'n baie laat plaasvervanger.

McEwan het sterk, die neem van die stryd om die Tsjeggiese dienaar, Skromach al is geen beker en 'n lekker netjies vegter homself en gou begin laat rip met foto's van sy eie.

McEwan begin om die liggaam te teiken, kom uit 'n paar ongelooflike hoeke om 'n paar vreesaanjaende Exocets land, Skromach aangepas sy verdediging maar duidelik sommige met die gewenste uitwerking.

Skromach het sy eie goed vir die eerste paar minute, maar as die ronde in die laaste minuut aangegaan McEwan optrek die straf vir die liggaam, kulmineer met 'n awesome haak wat reg geland op die knoppie om Skromach stuur om te neem om een ​​knie.

Dit was 'n ernstig bose skoot, sodat niemand was verbaas dat Skromach was nie in staat om voort te gaan, weer soos met die belangrikste gebeurtenis van die Skotse ondersteuners gevier se oorwinning hul man sowel as lof Skromach soos hy opgestaan ​​om sy voete.

Die amptelike tyd van die oponthoud is aangekondig as twee minute en nege en twintig sekondes van die eerste ronde.

Voor McEwan-Skromach was nog ses veelsydige, tussen Nairn se Sandy Robb en Scunthorpe se Jody Meikle.

Robb begin vinnig, gebruik te maak van 'n goeie styf steek en 'n groot regte wat die hoogs vermaaklike Meikle in toom gehou en op die agtervoet vir die eerste minuut of so, maar dan is die Scunthorpe dienaar begin kom na vore meer, pluk af Robb met 'n paar krake regte hande.

As die ronde het Robb begin om selfs meer kragtig geword, verlaat Meikle geen ander keuse as om te tref en beweeg taktiek gebruik, die meeste van die tyd wat hy het hierdie plek op maar soms die Scotsman Gereserveerd hierdie en was in staat om 'n groot reg as Meikle land probeer om te glip uit reeks.

Meer van dieselfde in die tweede, maar in die derde Meikle begin speel om die skare, veral wanneer gerugsteun op die toue, astrant knipoog by die ring card meisies, terwyl dit skote.

Normale diens hervat in die vierde, Robb begin sny die ring om te verhoed dat die gebruik van Meikle sy treffer en loop taktiek, dit was baie effektief vir die Scotsman as met nêrens om te skuif na die Engelsman het geen ander keuse as om sy pad uit boks uit die toue, wat hy gedoen het in styl.

As die stryd gevestig in die laaste derde, Meikle weer begin om te speel om die skare, maar in dong so verseker dat hierdie tyd het hy die afstand het geoordeel voldoende om die groot herhaling regte van die Scotsman landing voorkom.

Die finale rondte was 'n cracker, terwyl nog steeds in 'n soortgelyke trant as die vorige ronde, met Robb agtergrond van die Engelsman op die toue as Meikle gespeel om die skare, daar was 'n uitstekende en hoogs vermaaklike boks van beide partye.

Na ses interessante, vermaaklike rondes Skeidsregter Lee Murtagh behaal die bout 60-54 ten gunste van Robb.

Die opening bout van die nag sien Rivals Gym se voormalige verenigde Wêreld Skopboks Kampioen Sam Allan in aksie teen Downpatrick, Ierland se terugkeer Marty Kayes.

Moet sê dit was regtig 'n kraak stryd, beide spelers gee hul al vir elke enkele sekonde van elke ronde, dit was 'n ware non-stop stryd royale.

Na vier uitstekende rondtes van boks Skeidsregter Lee Murtagh behaal die bout 40-37 ten gunste van Allan, veel aan die plaaslike ondersteuners verlustig.

Baie geluk aan Thomas Melville en sy span, Nie net het hulle oorkom die teenspoed van die verlies van hul mede-kop bout sowel as 'n paar van die geskeduleerde aanvalle, maar steeds daarin geslaag op 'n uitstekende geleentheid om te sit.

Geluk is in orde vir Craig Docherty, wat die hou van Ricky Hatton sluit, Graham Earl, Kevin Lear, Shea Neary, Tony Oakey, Wayne Elcock, Wayne Alexander en ander Britse legendes van die verlede in raak gekroon die WBU Wêreld Kampioen.
