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

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, Novembris 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, fiziski un garīgi. 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 mārciņas. 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, gan un no gredzena. 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 fightnot only do I talk a good game but I fight my aoff too! ES dodu 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

Sestdien, Novembris 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, Skotija.

 

 

 

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. Tad, 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. Pirms tam, 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.”

Scottish Atbalstītājs Thomas Melville veicis nodomiem skaidrus visu redzēt ar savu debijas notikumu sestdien nakts, pat ar nopietni lielākie drāmas noved līdz pasākuma, tostarp zaudējot vienu no viņa lielo vērš, Bijušais WBO viegls King Scott Harrison, no kartes tikai dažas nedēļas pirms, un vēl divi spēles-ups pamet dienās noved līdz izrādi, tomēr izmanīgs Scotsman tomēr izdevās uzrādīt lielisku, lai gan tas ir mazāks, notikums.

Pozīcija up izrādi bija Glāzgovas bijušais Commonwealth čempions Craig Docherty pret Dundalk, Īrijas Michael Kelly par vakanto Pasaules Boksa Savienībā (WBU) World Super papildsvars virsraksts.

Atmosfēra bija elektriskā kā divi varoņi, kas savu ienākšanu arēnā, Skotijas fani pārliecināts zinu, kā padarīt izdevību, piemēram, tas patiesi īpašs.

Jau no paša sākuma zvana abi bokseri izteica savu nodomu pilnīgi skaidrs un dažu sekunžu laikā toe uz pirksta cīņa par centra gredzenu sākās nopietni.

Kad es saku toe uz pirksta es domāju toe uz pirksta, bet daudz no darbības bija tuvu ceturtdaļas, reizēm viņi bija, ka tuvu viena otrai, ka jūs nevarētu iesprūstot cigarešu papīra starp tām, Tik daudz, ka tiesnesis Lee Murtagh nebija citas izvēles kā brīdināt viņus par galvas sadursmēs vairākkārt.

Tagad, lai gan tie bija, ka gandrīz neviens cilvēks gāja aizsargu, gan demonstrēs savas ārkārtas instrumentu tirdzniecības, lai liela ietekme, ar slidens āķi un augšējo samazinājumi tiek piedāvāti no visiem rakursiem.

Docherty izdevās tikai par drošu pirmo pāris kārtās, tikai tāpat kā viņi bija tik vienmērīgi saskaņota, bet trešajā Kelly pastiprināja to uz augšu, padarot sev maz vietas viņš tiešām nonāktu plūsmu un tika ļaujot RIP ar mirgojošās šāvienu no katru iedomājamos leņķa.

Docherty atbildēja līdzīgā garā, tomēr slickness no Kelly darbu padarīja augšupejošu cīņa par Glaswegian.

Round četri redzēt Docherty mainīt taktiku, izmantojot savu grūdiens, lai liela ietekme, lai izveidotu atveres, lai let kraķis ar dažiem apburtais ķermeņa šāvienu, tomēr īrs likās diezgan laimīgs, lai uzsūktu tos, pirms cīnīties ar spēcīgu tiesībām un gadījuma dubulto roku satraukt.

Round pieci bija iespaidīgs kārta, abi varoņi vēl vairāk palielināja tempu, kas galu galā noveda pie dažiem baismīgs biržās. Tas bija tiešām grūti izlemt, kurš veicies vislabāk vai nu outfought vai outworked cits, jā, tas bija, ka tuvu.

 

Vairāk par to pašu sestajā, puika oh boy viņi iet uz to āmuru un knaibles pirmo pāris minūtes, vai arī tā no kārtas.

Tā kā pulkstenis nonācis gala minūtē kārtā Docherty sāka atpakaļ Kelly augšu, pirms izīrēšanas RIP ar zibens ātru tiesībām, kas pazeminājās Kelly kā kartupeļu maiss.

Vienā mirklī tiesneša Lee Murtagh devās īrs s palīdzības un viļņains cīņu off, kas nosūtīts Docherty, viņa komanda un fani uz līksms neprāts.

Jāsaka, ko pateicīgs pūlis apmeklēšanu, kā cheers prieka Docherty tika atsver lielisku uzņemšanu viņi deva Michael Kelly, kā viņš piecēlās kājās, tie bija patiesi fani, to man uzvarējis, bet tie bija arī pateicīgs par lielisku sniegumu īrs.

Tieši pirms Docherty tika kronēts jaunais WBU Super papildsvars čempions oficiālais laiks apstājies tika paziņots, kā divas minūtes un deviņas sekundes sestā.

Galvenais atbalsts Docherty-Kelly titulu cīņā tika noteikts, ka Edinburgas Craig McEwan pret Newport Lee Churcher, Taču tas nebija, ir saistīts ar svara neatbilstību, kas nevarēja atrisināt laikā, tāpēc daži ātri sarunu rezultātā Nottingham balstīta čehu cīnītājs Vaclavu Skromach tiek izstrādāts kā ļoti vēlu nomaiņu.

McEwan sākās spēcīga, ņemot cīņu Čehijas zēns, Skromach gan nav krūze un jauks kārtīgs cīnītājs pats un drīz sāka ļaujot RIP ar šāvienu viņa paša.

McEwan sāka pievērsties ķermeni, nāk no dažiem neticams leņķiem nolaisties dažus baismīgs exocets, Skromach mainīt savu aizsardzību, bet skaidri daži bija ar vēlamo efektu.

Skromach notika savu labi pirmo pāris minūtēm, bet kā kārta noslēdza pēdējā minūtē McEwan pastiprinājusi sodu uz ķermeņa, beidzas ar awesome āķi, kas izkrauti tiesības uz pogas, lai nosūtītu Skromach veikt, lai viena ceļa.

Tas bija nopietni apburtais shot, tādēļ neviens nebija pārsteigts, ka Skromach nevarēja turpināt, atkal kā ar galveno notikumu Skotijas fani svinēja sava vīra uzvaru, kā arī atzinīgi vērtēja Skromach kā viņš piecēlās kājās.

Oficiālais laiks apstājies tika paziņots par divām minūtēm un 29 sekundēm pirmajā kārtā.

Pirms McEwan-Skromach bija vēl viens seši rounder, starp Nairn smilšu Robb un Scunthorpe s Jody Meikle.

Robb sāka strauji, izmantojot labu stīvs durt un lielas tiesības, kas tur ir ļoti interesants Meikle pārbaudi un uz muguras kājām pirmo minūti, vai arī tā, bet tad Scunthorpe zēns sāka nāk uz priekšu vairāk, picking off Robb ar dažiem krekinga īstajās rokās.

Tā kā apaļas devās Robb sāka kļūt vēl stingrākiem, atstājot Meikle nav citas iespējas, kā vien izmantot hit un pārvietot taktiku, lielāko daļu laika viņš dabūja šīs vietas uz bet reizēm Scotsman Nopirkts šo un varēja nolaisties lielas tiesības kā Meikle mēģināja izslīdēt no diapazona.

Vairāk par to pašu otrajā, bet trešajā Meikle sāka spēlēt uz pūli, jo īpaši, ja atbalstīja uz virves, cheekily winking pie gredzena karšu meitenēm vienlaikus izvairoties šāvienu.

Normal pakalpojums atsākās ceturtais, Robb sāka nogriežot gredzenu, lai novērstu Meikle izmantojot viņa hit un palaist taktiku, tas bija ļoti efektīvs The Scotsman kā ar nekur pārcelties uz anglis nebija citas izvēles, bet, lai lodziņā savu ceļu ārā no virvēm, ko viņš darīja stilā.

Tā kā cīņa apmetās galīgajā trešdaļa, Meikle atkal sāka spēlēt uz pūļa, bet dong tā nodrošināja, ka šoreiz viņš bija tiesāts attālumu adekvāti, lai novērstu lielas looping tiesības no Scotsman nosēšanās.

Galīgais kārta bija krekinga, vienlaikus līdzīgā garā kā iepriekšējā kārtā, ar Robb pamatni anglis uz virves, kā Meikle spēlēja pie pūļa, tur bija daži lielisks un ļoti interesants boksa no abām pusēm.

Pēc sešiem interesanti, izklaides kārtas tiesnesis Lee Murtagh guva cīkstēšanās 60-54 par labu Robb.

Atvēršana cīkstēšanās par nakts Krēsla sāncenšiem Gym bijušais vienota World Kickboxing čempions Sam Allan darbībā pret Downpatrick, Īrijas atgriežas Marty Kayes.

Jāsaka tas tiešām bija krekinga cīņa, abi varoņi sniedzot to visu par katru sekundi katru kārtu, tā bija taisnība, non-stop kaujas Royale.

Pēc četru izcilu kārtām boksa tiesneša Lee Murtagh guva cīkstēšanās 40-37 par labu Allan, daudz vietējie fani prieks.

Apsveicam Thomas Melville un viņa komanda, ne tikai viņi pārvarēt nedienās zaudēt savu co-virsraksts cīkstēšanās, kā arī daži no plānotajām bouts, bet tomēr izdevās likts uz izcilu notikumu.
