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

Gadael sylw

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, Tachwedd 17, at the Kansas Star Arena and Casino in Mulvane, Kansas.

 

 

 

Tarianau (6-0, 2 Kos) 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, yn gorfforol ac yn feddyliol. 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 bunnoedd. 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, i mewn ac allan o'r cylch. 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! Rhoddaf 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.

Women’s Superstar Claressa Shields to Defend IBF and WBA Middleweight Championships and Looks to Add WBC Belt Against Scotland’s Hannah Rankin, Live on DAZN on November 17

Gadael sylw

Ar ddydd Sadwrn, Tachwedd 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, Yr Alban.

 

 

 

The 10-round Shields (6-0, 2 Kos), 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. Yna, 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. Cyn hynny, 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.”

Gwneud Hyrwyddwr yr Alban Thomas Melville ei fwriadau clir i bawb eu gweld gyda'i digwyddiad cyntaf ar ddydd Sadwrn nos, hyd yn oed gyda dramâu ddifrifol mawr yn arwain at y digwyddiad, gan gynnwys colli un o'i fawr yn tynnu, cyn WBO pwysau plu y Brenin Scott Harrison, oddi wrth y cerdyn dim ond ychydig o wythnosau cyn, a dau arall cyfatebol-ups tynnu allan yn y dyddiau yn arwain at y sioe, eto mae'r Albanwr hirben a reolir yn dal i gynhyrchu ardderchog, er ei fod yn llai, Digwyddiad.

Pennawd fyny y sioe oedd Glasgow cyn Bencampwr y Gymanwlad Craig Docherty yn erbyn Dundalk, Michael Kelly Iwerddon ar gyfer yr Undeb Bocsio Byd wag (Undeb Badminton) Teitl y byd Super Pwysau Welter.

Roedd yr awyrgylch yn drydanol wrth i'r ddau brif gymeriadau gwneud eu mynediad i mewn i'r arena, y cefnogwyr yr Alban yn sicr yn gwybod sut i wneud yr achlysur fel hwn yn arbennig iawn.

O'r gloch agoriadol ddau baffiwr gwneud eu grisial bwriad clir ac o fewn eiliadau troed i frwydr am ffonio canolfan dechreuodd o ddifrif traed.

Pan fyddaf yn dweud traed i'r traed wyf yn golygu traed i'r traed, er bod llawer o'r camau oedd yn agos, ar adegau oeddent fod yn agos at ei gilydd na allech fod wedi wedged papur sigarét rhyngddynt, gymaint felly fel y dyfarnwr oedd gan Lee Murtagh unrhyw ddewis ond i'w rhybuddio am gwrthdrawiadau ben ar sawl achlysur.

Nawr, er eu bod yn agos na gŵr aeth amddiffynnol, y ddau yn arddangos eu hoffer eithriadol y fasnach yn effeithiol iawn, gyda bachau slic a thoriadau uchaf yn dod o bob ongl.

Docherty llwyddo i ddim ond am sicrhau yr ychydig cyntaf o rowndiau, Dim ond yn union fel eu bod mor cyfateb gyfartal, ond yn y trydydd Kelly camu i fyny, wneud ei hun ychydig o le fod mewn gwirionedd yn mynd i mewn llif a oedd yn gadael rip gyda lluniau anhygoel o bob ongl bosibl sengl.

Ymatebodd Docherty yn yr un modd, fodd bynnag mae'r slickness o waith Kelly ei gwneud yn frwydr i fyny ar gyfer yr Glasgow.

Rownd pedwar gweld tactegau newid Docherty, defnyddio ei brechiad yn effeithiol iawn i osod y agoriadau er mwyn gadael RIP gyda rhai ergydion corff dieflig, fodd bynnag, y Gwyddel yn ymddangos yn eithaf hapus i socian y rhain i fyny cyn i'r afael â hawliau pwerus ac mae'r llu llaw dwbl achlysurol.

Rownd pump yn rownd ysblennydd, y ddau prif gymeriadau codi'r cyflymder hyd yn oed ymhellach, yn y pen draw arwain at rai cyfnewidiadau arswydus. Roedd yn anodd iawn i benderfynu pwy gwneud yn y gorau, neu os naill outfought neu outworked y llall, ie yr oedd y cau.

 

Mwy o'r un peth yn y chweched, bachgen oh wnaeth bachgen maent yn mynd ati morthwyl a gefeiliau i'r cwpl cyntaf o munud y rownd.

Gan fod y cloc symud i mewn i'r funud olaf y rownd dechreuodd Docherty i yn ôl Kelly i fyny, cyn gadael rip gyda hawl gyflym mellt a gollwng Kelly fel sach o datws.

Mewn Canolwr amrantiad aeth Lee Murtagh i gymorth y Gwyddel a chwifio y frwydr i ffwrdd, a anfonodd Docherty, ei dîm a chefnogwyr i mewn i frenzy llawen.

Rhaid i ddweud beth dorf gwerthfawrogol yn bresennol, fel y lloniannau o lawenydd i Docherty eu gorbwyso gan y derbyniad godidog roesant Michael Kelly wrth iddo cododd ar ei draed, roedd y rhain yn gefnogwyr go iawn, Enillodd eu dyn, ond maent yr un mor werthfawrogol o berfformiad godidog o'r Gwyddel.

Ychydig cyn Docherty ei goroni yn Bencampwr Pwysau Welter Super Undeb Badminton newydd yr amser swyddogol y rhoi'r gorau i weithio ei gyhoeddi, fel dau funud a naw eiliad y chweched.

Prif cefnogaeth am y teitl frwydr Docherty-Kelly Sefydlwyd i fod Caeredin Craig McEwan yn erbyn Casnewydd Lee Churcher, fodd bynnag, nid oedd hyn yn i fod o ganlyniad i anghysondeb pwysau a oedd yn gallu cael eu datrys mewn pryd, felly mae rhai trafodaethau cyflym wedi arwain at ymladdwr Tsiec seiliedig Nottingham Vaclav Skromach cael ei ddrafftio mewn fel eilydd hwyr iawn.

McEwan Dechreuodd gryf, gan gymryd y frwydr i'r bachgen Tsiec, Skromach er dim mwg ac ymladdwr daclus 'n glws hun ac yn fuan dechreuodd gosod rip gyda lluniau o'i hun.

Dechreuodd McEwan i dargedu'r corff, dod i mewn o rai onglau anhygoel i dir rhai Exocets arswydus, Skromach haddasu ei hamddiffynfeydd, ond yn amlwg mae rhai yn cael yr effaith a ddymunir.

Gynnal Skromach ei ogystal hun ar gyfer yr ychydig cyntaf o funudau ond wrth i'r rownd cofnodi ar y funud olaf McEwan camu i fyny y gosb i'r corff, gan ddiweddu gyda bachyn anhygoel a glanio yn iawn ar y botwm i anfon Skromach eu cymryd i un pen-glin.

Roedd yn ergyd ddifrifol dieflig, felly does neb yn synnu bod Skromach oedd yn gallu parhau, eto fel gyda'r prif ddigwyddiad y cefnogwyr yn dathlu buddugoliaeth yr Alban eu dyn yn ogystal â chanmol Skromach wrth iddo cododd ar ei draed.

Yr amser swyddogol yr atal ei gyhoeddi fel dau funud a naw ar hugain o eiliad y rownd gyntaf.

Cyn McEwan-Skromach yn chwech rounder arall, rhwng Nairn yn Sandy Robb a Scunthorpe yn Jody Meikle.

Robb Dechreuodd cyflym, gan ddefnyddio pigiad stiff da a hawliau mawr sy'n cadw y Meikle hynod ddifyr yn gwirio ac ar y droed ôl ar gyfer y funud gyntaf neu ddau, ond yna dechreuodd y bachgen Scunthorpe yn dod ymlaen yn fwy, pigo off Robb gyda rhai cracio dwylo iawn.

Fel aeth y rownd ar Robb dechrau dod yn hyd yn oed yn fwy grymus, gan adael Meikle unrhyw ddewis ond i ddefnyddio taro a symud tactegau, rhan fwyaf o'r amser y cafodd y rhain fan a'r lle ar ond weithiau y Scotsman preempted hyn ac roedd yn gallu glanio hawl fawr fel Meikle ceisio lithro allan o amrediad.

Mwy o'r un peth yn yr ail, ond yn y trydydd Meikle dechreuodd chwarae i'r dorf, yn enwedig pan gefnogir ar y rhaffau, cheekily wincio merched cerdyn cylch tra'n osgoi ergydion.

Gwasanaeth arferol ailddechrau yn y pedwerydd, Dechreuodd Robb torri oddi ar y cylch er mwyn atal Meikle ddefnyddio ei daro a thactegau eu rhedeg, roedd hyn yn hynod effeithiol ar gyfer y Scotsman fel gyda unrhyw le i symud i'r Sais oedd unrhyw ddewis ond i flwch ei ffordd allan oddi wrth y rhaffau, a wnaeth efe mewn steil.

Gan fod y frwydr yn setlo i mewn i'r trydydd terfynol, Unwaith eto dechreuodd Meikle i chwarae i'r dorf, ond yn dong felly sicrhau bod y cyfnod hwn yr oedd wedi barnu y pellter yn ddigonol er mwyn atal yr hawl dolennu mawr oddi wrth y glanio Scotsman.

Roedd y rownd derfynol yn cracker, tra'n dal i fod mewn un modd gan fod y cylch blaenorol, gyda Robb cefnogi'r Sais ar y rhaffau fel Meikle chwarae i'r dorf, roedd peth bocsio ardderchog a difyr iawn gan y ddau barti.

Ar ôl chwe diddorol, Sgoriodd rowndiau difyr Dyfarnwr Lee Murtagh y bout 60-54 o blaid Robb.

Mae bout agoriadol yr esgobaeth nos yn Rivals Gym yn gyn Bencampwr Bocsio Cic World unedig Sam Allan yn gweithredu yn erbyn Downpatrick, Dychwelyd Marty Kayes Iwerddon.

Rhaid i ddweud hyn yn wir yn ymladd cracio, y ddau brif gymeriadau rhoi eu holl ar gyfer pob un eiliad o bob rownd, roedd yn Royale brwydr di-stop yn wir.

Ar ôl pedair rownd ardderchog o Canolwr bocsio Sgoriodd Lee Murtagh y bout 40-37 o blaid Allan, er mawr cefnogwyr lleol hyfrydwch.

Llongyfarchiadau i Thomas Melville a'i dîm, nid yn unig y maent yn goresgyn y adfyd o golli eu cyd-pennawd bout yn ogystal â rhai o'r pyliau a drefnwyd, ond yn dal yn llwyddo i roi ar ddigwyddiad rhagorol.

Llongyfarchiadau mewn trefn ar gyfer Craig Docherty, sy'n ymuno â'r bobl fel Ricky Hatton, Graham Earl, Kevin Lear, Shea Neary, Tony Oakey, Wayne Elcock, Wayne Alexander a chwedlau Prydeinig eraill y gorffennol mewn bod yn goroni'n Bencampwr y Byd Undeb Badminton.
