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

Jäta kommentaar

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 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, füüsiliselt ja vaimselt. 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 naela. 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, nii ja ringist välja. 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! ma annan 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

Jäta kommentaar

Laupäeval, 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, Šotimaa.

 

 

 

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. Siis, 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. Enne seda, 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.”

Šoti Korraldaja Thomas Melville tegi oma kavatsused selgeks kõigile näha oma debüüdi sündmus laupäeval öö, isegi tõsiselt suur näidendid viivad sündmus, sealhulgas kaotada üks tema suur viiki, endine WBO Featherweight King Scott Harrison, alates kaart vaid paar nädalat enne, ja veel kaks paaristraave väljalangemist päevadel viivad näitusel, veel Majanduslik Scotsman suutis siiski toota suurepärase, kuigi see väiksem, sündmus.

Rubriik up show oli Glasgow endine Commonwealth Champion Craig Docherty vastu Dundalki, Iirimaa Michael Kelly vabale World Boxing Liidu (WBU) World Super Race pealkiri.

Õhkkond oli elektri kui kaks peategelased tegid oma sissepääs arena, Šoti fännidele kindlasti ei tea, kuidas teha juhul, nagu see on tõesti eriline.

Õigus avamist kella nii poksijad tegid oma kavatsusest kristallselge ja mõne sekundi jooksul varba varba lahingu keskele ring algas tõsine.

Kui ma ütlen, varba varba mõtlen varba jalatallani, samas palju tegevust oli lähedalt, kohati olid nad, et lähestikku, et sa ei oleks kiilutud Sigaretipaberi nende vahel, nii palju, et kohtunik Lee Murtagh ei olnud muud võimalust, kui hoiatada neid pea kokkupõrked korduvalt.

Nüüd, kuigi nad olid nii lähedased ei läks kaitsev, nii tutvustada oma erakordse vahendite müük suurt mõju, õlilaik konksude ja ülemine kärped tulevad iga nurga alt.

Docherty õnnestus peaaegu kindlustada esimese paari ringi, ainult nii nagu nad olid nii ühtlaselt sobitada, kuid kolmas Kelly astus ta üles, tehes end veidi ruumi ta tegelikult sattus voolu ja oli rendile rip koos sädelev kaadrid iga mõeldava nurga alt.

Docherty vastas Samamoodi, aga libeduse Kelly tööd teinud ülespoole lahingus Glaswegian.

Round neli näha Docherty muutus taktika, kasutades oma torkima suurt mõju, et luua avad, et lase rippida mõned tige keha kaadrid, aga iirlane tundus üsna õnnelik leotada neid üles enne vastase võimsa õigused ja aeg-ajalt topelt käega tuulepuhang.

Round viis oli tähelepanuväärne ringi, nii peategelased tõsta tempot veelgi, mis viis lõpuks mõned hirmuäratav vahetused. See oli tõesti raske otsustada, kes kõige paremini toime tulnud või kui kas outfought või outworked muu, Jah, see oli nii lähedal.

 

Veel samal aastal kuues, poiss oh boy nad läksid seda Vimmatusti esimese paari minuti või nii edasi.

Kuna kella kolinud viimasel minutil ümber Docherty hakkas tagasi Kelly üles, enne rendile rip koos välk kiire õige, et langenud Kelly nagu kartuleid.

Hetkega kohtunik Lee Murtagh läks iirlane abi ja lehvitas võitlus maha, mis saadetakse Docherty, Tema meeskond ja fännid rõõmus meeletus.

Pean ütlema, mida hindab rahvahulga osavõtul, kui cheers rõõmu Docherty olid kompenseerinud suurepärane vastuvõtt nad andsid Michael Kelly kui ta suutis jalule, Need olid tõelised fännid, oma mees võitis, kuid nad olid võrdselt tänulik suurepärase täitmise iirlane.

Just enne Docherty krooniti uue WBU Super Race Champion ametlik ajal tööseisaku kuulutati, nagu kaks minutit ja üheksa sekundit kuuenda.

Main toetust Docherty-Kelly pealkiri võitlus oli määratud olema Edinburghi Craig McEwan vastu Newport Lee Churcher, Kuid see ei olnud tingitud kaalu vastuolu, mis ei suutnud lahendada õigel ajal, nii mõned kiired viisid läbirääkimised Nottingham põhineb Tšehhi võitleja Vaclav Skromach on koostatud nii väga hilja asendamine.

McEwan algas tugev, võttes võitlus Tšehhi lad, Skromach küll ei kruus ja korrastatud võitleja ise ja hakkasid peagi lastes rip kaadrid enda.

McEwan hakkas eesmärgi keha, tulevad mõned uskumatu nurga maa mõned hirmuäratav exocets, Skromach kohandatud tema kaitsevõimet, kuid selgelt mõned olid soovitud mõju.

Skromach pidas oma hästi Esimesed paar minutit, kuid kui ringi sõlmitud viimasel minutil McEwan kiirendada karistuse keha, kulmineerusid awesome konks ei jõudnud õiges kohas saata Skromach võtta ühe põlve.

See oli tõsiselt tige shot, nii et keegi oli üllatunud, et Skromach ei suutnud jätkata, jälle koos põhiturniiri Šoti fännid tähistasid oma mehe võitu samuti kiiduväärt Skromach kui ta suutis jalule.

Ametlik ajal tööseisaku kuulutati kaks minutit ja 29 sekundit esimese vooru.

Enne McEwan-Skromach oli veel kuus ümaram, vahel Nairni on Sandy Robb ja Scunthorpe on Jody Meikle.

Robb hakkas kiire, kasutades hea jäik torkima ja suured õigused, et hoida väga lõbus Meikle kontrolli all ja tagaküljel jala esimese minuti või nii, aga siis Scunthorpe poiss hakkas sealt edastada rohkem, kobarate pudenemine Robb mõned lõhenemist õigetesse kätesse.

Nagu ümmargune läks Robb hakkasid isegi jõulisemalt, jättes Meikle pole võimalik kasutada tabanud ja liikuda taktika, enamiku ajast sai ta neid kohapeal, kuid aeg-ajalt Scotsman preempted neid ja suutis maa suur õigus kui Meikle üritanud välja libiseda vahemik.

Veel samal aastal teine, kuid kolmandas Meikle hakkas mängima rahvahulga, eriti kui tagatud on köied, cheekily pilgutab ring kaardi tüdrukud vältides samas kaadrid.

Tavaline teenistus jätkus neljas, Robb hakkas mahalõikamine ring ennetada Meikle kasutades oma põgeneb taktika, see oli väga tõhus Scotsman kui kuhugi minna inglane ei olnud muud võimalust, kui kasti oma väljapääs köied, mis ta tegi stiili.

Kuna võitlus väljakujunenud arvesse lõpliku kolmas, Meikle jälle hakkas mängima rahvahulga, kuid dong nii tagatud, et selleks ajaks oli ta hinnata vahemaa piisavalt, et vältida suuri silmukoiminen õigused Scotsman maandumine.

Finaalis oli cracker, samas endiselt Samamoodi nagu eelmises voorus, koos Robb toetus inglane peale köied kui Meikle mängitakse rahvahulga, seal oli väga hea ja väga lõbus poks mõlemad osapooled.

Pärast kuut huvitavat, lõbus ringi kohtunik Lee Murtagh viskas hooaeg 60-54 kasuks Robb.

Ava hooaeg öö kohta vaata rivaalid hotellid endine ühendatud World Kickboxing Champion Sam Allan in hagi Downpatrick, Iirimaa naasmist Marty Kayes.

Pean ütlema seda tõesti oli lõhenemist võitlus, nii peategelased andes oma kõigi jaoks iga sekund iga vooru, see oli tõsi non-stop lahing Royale.

Pärast nelja suurepärase vooru poks kohtunik Lee Murtagh viskas hooaeg 40-37 kasuks Allan, palju kohalikud fännid rõõmu.

Õnnitleme Thomas Melville ja tema meeskond, mitte ainult ei nad ületada ebaõnne kaotada oma co-pealkiri hooaeg samuti mõned planeeritud oksendamise, kuid suutis siiski panna suurepärase ürituse.

Õnnitleme on selleks Craig Docherty, kes liitub meeldib Ricky Hatton, Graham Earl, Kevin Lear, Shea Neary, Tony Oakey, Wayne Elcock, Wayne Alexander ja teiste Briti legendid minevikust muutumas kroonitud WBU maailmameister.
