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

Zanechať komentár

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 KO) 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, fyzicky a mentálne. 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 libier. 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, ako dovnútra a von z kruhu. 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! dávam 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.

V sobotu, 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, Škótsko.

 

 

 

The 10-round Shields (6-0, 2 KO), 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. Potom, 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. Pred tým, 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.”

Škótsky Promoter Thomas Melville objasnil jeho zámery pre všetky vidieť jeho debut udalostí v sobotu noc, dokonca s vážne veľkých drám viesť až k udalosti, vrátane stráca jeden z jeho veľkej kreslí, bývalý WBO mušej kráľ Scott Harrison, z karty len niekoľko týždňov pred, a dva ďalšie zápas-up vypadnutie v dňoch viesť až k show, Zatiaľ prefíkaný Škót ešte podarilo vyrobiť vynikajúce, aj keď je to menšia, udalosť.

Okruh up show bola Glasgow bývalý šampión Commonwealth Craig Docherty proti Dundalk, Írska Michael Kelly na uvoľnené World Boxing únie (ZČU) Názov World Super Welterweight.

Atmosféra bola Elektrický ako obaja protagonisti sa ich vstup do arény, škótski fanúšikovia istí, že vedia, ako urobiť príležitosť takhle naozaj zvláštne.

Hneď od úvodného zvona obe boxerky urobil svoj zámer krištáľovo čisté a behom niekoľkých sekúnd prst až k päte bitku o stred ringu začala v vážny.

Keď hovorím, že prst až k päte myslím prst až k päte, zatiaľ čo veľa z akcie bol v tesnej blízkosti, v čase, oni boli tak blízko k sebe, že ste nemohli zakliesnený cigaretový papier, medzi nimi, Natoľko, že rozhodcu Lee Murtagh nemal inú možnosť, než aby ich varovať hlavy stretoch na početných príležitostiach.

Teraz, aj keď boli tak blízko, ani muž išiel defenzívne, obaja predstavia svoje výnimočné nástroje obchodu k veľkému efektu, s hladkými háčikmi a hornej škrty pochádzajúcich zo všetkých uhlov.

Docherty sa podarilo len o zaistenie prvých pár kôl, práve tak, ako boli tak vyrovnanej, ale v treťom Kelly vystúpil ju, robiť seba trochu miesta naozaj dostal do prúdu a bol nechať rip s scintilačných zábery z každej mysliteľné uhla.

Docherty odpovedal v podobnom duchu, avšak hladkosť Kellyho práce robil tomu rastúce boj o glasgowskej.

Round štyri pozri Docherty taktiku zmeny, používať jeho úder k veľkému efektu nastaviť otvory, aby sa nechať rip s niektorými zlých výstrely tela, ale Ir sa zdalo celkom rád, aby nasiakli tie sa pred boji s mocnými právami a občasné dvojité rúk závanu.

Round päť bol veľkolepý guľatý, Obaja protagonisti zvýšil tempo ešte ďalej, ktorý nakoniec viedol k niektorým hrôzostrašné burzách. Bolo to naozaj ťažké sa rozhodnúť, kto sa darilo najlepšie, alebo ak buď outfought, alebo predsunutých iný, áno, to bolo tak blízko.

 

Viac o to isté v šiestom, chlapec oh chlapec išli na to kladivo a kliešte pre prvý pár minút alebo tak kolesá.

Ako hodiny presťahoval do poslednej minúte kola Docherty začal cúvať Kelly hore, Pred nechať rip s bleskom rýchlym právo, ktoré klesli Kelly ako vrece zemiakov.

V okamihu rozhodcu Lee Murtagh šiel na pomoc Ir a zamával zahnať, ktorý poslal Docherty, jeho tím a fanúšikovia do radostné šialenstva.

Musím povedať, čo vďačný dav v návštevnosti, ako jasot radosti pre Docherty bol prevážaný nádhernej recepcii dali, Michael Kelly, keď sa zdvihol na nohy, títo boli čistí fanúšikovia, ich človek vyhral, ​​ale oni boli rovnako ocenili nádherné výkonu Ir.

Tesne pred Docherty bol korunovaný nový ZČU Super Welterweight šampión bol vyhlásený oficiálny čas zastavenia, ako dve minúty a deväť sekunda šiestej.

Hlavná podpora Docherty-Kelly boj o titul bol stanovený na Edinburgh Craig McEwan proti Newport Lee Churcher, však toto nemalo byť vzhľadom k hmotnostným rozpor, ktorý nemohol byť vyriešený v čase, takže niektoré rýchle rokovania viedli k Nottingham založený český stíhacie Václava Skromacha sú navrhované v ako veľmi neskoré výmenu.

McEwan začal silný, pričom boj do slovenského chlapca, Škromach však nie je hrnček a pekný poriadok bojovník sám a čoskoro sa začal nechať rip sa zábery z jeho vlastných.

McEwan začal sa zamerať na telo, prichádzajúce z niektorých neuveriteľných uhlov pristáť nejaké hrôzostrašné exocets, Škromach upraviť jeho obranu ale je jasné, niektorí boli s požadovaný účinok.

Škromach držal vlastnú studňu pre prvých pár minút, ale ako koleso vstúpil do poslednej minúte McEwan pristúpil trest na telo, kulminovať s úžasnou hákom, ktorý pristál priamo na tlačidlo odoslať Škromach, aby sa na jedno koleno.

Bolo to vážne zlý výstrel, takže nikto nebol prekvapený, že Škromach mu znemožnila pokračovať, opäť ako s hlavnou udalosťou škótski fanúšikovia oslavovali muža víťazstvo, rovnako ako tlieskal Škromach vstal na nohy.

Oficiálny čas prerušenia bol vyhlásený ako dve minúty a dvadsať deväť sekunda prvého kola.

Pred McEwan-Skromacha bolo ďalších šesť guľatejší, medzi Nairn je Sandy Robb a Scunthorpe je Jody Meikle.

Robb začal rýchlo, využívajúce dobrý tuhý úder a veľké práva, ktorá udržiavala veľmi zábavnou Meikle v šachu a na zadnej nohe pre prvej minúty alebo tak, ale potom Scunthorpe hoch začal prichádza dopredu viac, Odstreľovacie Robb s niektorými krakovania správnych rukách.

Ako koleso pokračoval Robb začali byť ešte silnejší, opúšťať Meikle inú možnosť ako využiť hit a presunúť taktiku, väčšinu času dostal tieto spot na, ale občas Škót preempted tieto a bol schopný pristáť veľké právo ako Meikle pokúšal vykĺznuť mimo rozsahu.

Viac o to isté v druhej, ale v tretej Meikle začal hrať na davu, najmä keď podporil na lanách, drzo žmurkol na Prsteňa karty dievčat a vyhnúť sa pritom zábermi.

Normal služba obnovená vo štvrtom, Robb začal odrezať prsteň, aby sa zabránilo Meikle využitie jeho hit a beh taktiku, to bolo vysoko efektívne pre Škóta ako u kam sa presuniete na Angličana nemal inú možnosť, než boxovať cestu von z povrazov, ktorý on robil vo veľkom štýle.

Pretože boj usadil do poslednej tretiny, Meikle začal znova hrať do davu, ale v dong tak zaistila, že tentoraz súdil vzdialenosť primerane, aby sa zabránilo veľké looping práva z Scotsman pristátie.

Finále bolo cracker, zatiaľ čo ešte v podobnom duchu ako v predchádzajúcom kole, s Robb zálohovanie Angličana na lanách ako Meikle hral do davu, tam bol nejaký vynikajúci a vysoko zábavný boxu z oboch strán.

Po šiestich zaujímavé, zábavné kolesá rozhodca Lee Murtagh strelil zápas 60-54 v prospech Robb.

Otvorenie zápas nočné stolca Rivals posilňovňu bývalý zjednotil World Kickboxing majstra Sam Allan v akcii proti Downpatrick, Írsky vracať Marty Kayes.

Musím povedať, to naozaj bolo praskanie boj, Obaja protagonisti dáva svoje všetko pre každú jednotlivú sekundu každého kola, to bola pravda, non-stop bitka royale.

Po štyroch kolách vynikajúce boxe rozhodcu Lee Murtagh strelil zápas 40-37 v prospech Allan, moc sa medzi miestnymi fanúšikmi poteší.

Gratulujeme Thomas Melville a jeho tím, Nielenže prekonať nepriazeň osudu, že stratí svoju ko-titulku záchvat, rovnako ako niektoré z plánovaných záchvaty, ale napriek tomu sa podarilo dať na vynikajúce akcii.

Gratulujeme sú v poriadku pre Craig Docherty, ktorí sa pripoja k likes Ricky Hatton, Graham Earl, Kevin Lear, Shea Neary, Tony Oakey, Wayne Elcock, Wayne Alexander a ďalšie britskej legendy minulosti stať korunoval WBU majster sveta.
