Den nya generationen: Lippe-Morrison ready for ShoBox debut

Lämna en kommentar

 

Miami, OK (September 22, 2016) – As the son of popular former heavyweight champion Tommy Morrison, Trey Lippe-Morrison’s name alone generates attention.

 

A quick glance at the Oklahoman’s record shows that all 11 of his victories came by knockout, 10 inside of two rounds. Those who dug deeper into Lippe-Morrison’s career will see that he’s trained by legendary Freddie Roach at Wildcard Boxing Club in Los Angeles, SÅSOM. On the contrary, his critics note that his name alone generated the buzz rather than his knockouts and many second generation boxers didn’t meet expectations.

 

På fredag evening at the Buffalo Run Casino, Lippe-Morrison looks to make his TV debut a successful one when he battles fellow unbeaten Ed “Black Magic” Latimore. The bout opens a quadrupleheader on Shobox: The New Generation and is scheduled for 6 rundor. Latimore, 13-0 (7 KO: s), owns amateur wins over former heavyweight champion Charles Martin and 2012 US Olympian Dominic Breazeale. The Pittsburgh, PA native will be Lippe-Morrison’s toughest test to date and he believes the heavy interest in this fight will only elevate his career when he emerges victorious.

 

“This is a difficult fight for Trey,” said Tony Holden, Lippe-Morrison’s promoter. “Latimore is undefeated and had a good amateur background. He and his team believe this fight will opens doors for him. The interest in this fight is extremely high not just because of whom Trey is but also since there are two unbeaten American heavyweight squaring off early in their careers. The winner is definitely worthy of being considered a top up and coming heavyweight.”

 

Lippe-Morrison is a member of Holden Productions’ “Four State Franchise” and fought 9 av hans 11 fights at the Buffalo Run Casino, a venue he’s helped sell out multiple times. With the hometown advantage and flawless start to his pro career, Lippe-Morrison knows there will be pressure on him but believes he’s ready to handle it.

 

“There is a little bit of added pressure,” the 26-year-old said of fighting on TV. “There are of course the people that want to see me on the same level at my father but some of it is brought on by me. My team and I believe I’m ready for this. I’ve been getting a lot better and learning every day under Freddie Roach. Freddie says I’m prepared for the step up and he has full confidence in me. Now I’ve got to go out and perform.”

 

The quadrupleheader airs live on Showtime at 10 PM ET and also features Ivan “The Volk” Golub against James “Keep em’ Sleepin” Stevenson, Ivan “The Beast” Baranchyk vs Zhimin Wang and Radivoje “Hot Rod” Kalajdzic taking on “Notorious” Travis Peterkin.

 

Tickets are sold out and this excellent evening of boxing is promoted by DiBella Entertainment and Holden Productions in association with Fight Promotions Inc. and Roc Nation Sports.

Live på SHOWTIME® vid 10 p.m. OCH/PT

NEW YORK (Sju. 21, 2016) - Trey Lippe Morrison är 11-0 med 11 knockouts. He is the son of the late former world heavyweight championTommy “The Duke” Morrison. A Grove, Okla., nativ, Trey resides in Hollywood, Calif., and is trained by Freddie Roach at Wild Card Gym.

 

Detta Fredag, Sju. 23, Morrison makes his eagerly awaited television debut when he faces fellow unbeaten and Roc Nation prospect Ed Latimore (13-0, 7 Kos), Pittsburgh, Pa., in the second bout of a ShoBox: Den nya generationen quadrupleheader leva på Showtime (10 p.m. OCH/PT, fördröjd på västkusten) från Buffalo Run Kasino i Miami, Okla.

 

Morrison, som vänder 27 på Sju. 27, has recorded eight first-round knockouts, two second-round knockouts and one fourth-round KO in a career that began in February 2014. He bears a striking resemblance to his late father facially, physique-wise and with his fighting style, wears red, white and blue trunks with “TOMMY” written across the belt. He has fought all but one of his fights in Oklahoma; this is his 10th start at Buffalo Run.

 

A popular member of Holden’s Four State Franchise stable, the 6-foot-2 Morrison is fighting for the first time since he underwent surgery on his right tendon from an injury suffered in his most recent bout, a fourth-round TKO over Thomas Hawkins sista Jan. 23.

 

Below is what Morrison and Roach said about Trey’s fight against LatimoreFredag, his up-and-coming career, life outside the ring, remembrances of his father, working with Freddie and more:

“I’m going to approach this fight against Latimore just the same way I approached my first 11 slagsmål,’’ said Morrison ahead of the scheduled six-round bout. “I’ve gained a lot of confidence and a lot of new skills, and I’m just honored to be able to showcase them. Being on SHOWTIME is just a huge bonus.”

 

Morrison’s thoughts on Ed Latimore …

“I’ve watched a little bit of video. He’s really similar to me. The way he bobs his head all the time and is a real aggressive fighter and always comes forward. It’s almost like I’m fighting a clone of myself. He kind of has that Mike Tyson style, and that’s what I expect to see. If he doesn’t come at me that way, then I’ll have to have a game plan for something else.”

 

Is Latimore your toughest fight to date? …

“Oh, ja. Sure. 100 procent. His record says it all [13-0, 7 Kos]. He’s athletic. From just what I’ve seen of his past fights, he would be the toughest guy I’ve fought so far.”

 

On the injury suffered in his last fight …

“I feel like it is 100 percent healed. It was kind of a freak accident. I threw an uppercut and it hit him in the hard part of his head. Since I’ve been able to put my glove on it, it hasn’t been a problem.”

 

What are the keys to this fight? …

“I think you always find the keys within the first couple rounds of the fight. That’s when you figure someone out. I figure I’m just going to be patient, and wait for my shot and when it comes, take it.”

 

Tommy was known as a left-hooker, you’re known for a strong right hand? Did you work more on your left when you were sidelined? …

 

“Oh, ja. Tremendously. I would say me being hurt was a blessing. I think it helped me more than it hurt me. I was really able to develop and sharpen my left hand. So right now I feel like my left hand is just as lethal as my right. I’m confident I can now do everything with my left that I can with my right. I was more of a right-handed fighter before because my left hand wasn’t as developed yet. My timing and my speed wasn’t quite there with my left before, but now I’m good with both.”

 

On working with Freddie Roach…

“I’ve been working with Freddie for about a year now. I’m living in West Hollywood; right smack dab in the middle of all the craziness. But I stay away from all of it. I’m more of a hermit. Om jag inte tränar, I’m at home. I really don’t go out much. I really just like being alone at times and being at my place. I don’t have many hobbies. I would say I’m a nerd. I like to play video games with my friends online.”

 

How did you end up with Freddie?

“I originally moved out here to train with Jesse Reid. He decided he wanted to make a move to Las Vegas, and that just wasn’t a move my promoter, Tony Holden, and I were going to make. Since I was already here, Tony had a lunch with Freddie who agreed to look at me. So I had a private session with him and after that he said he’d be willing to work with me.”

 

How much have you learned under Freddie’s watchful eye? …

“I’ve learned so much — probably everything. And anything I was good at before, he’s sharpened it. I’d probably give him full credit for everything. The guys I’ve sparred with have also taught me a lot. It’s really helped me in every way possible.”

 

Did you play sports in high school? …

“I played football, basketball and track. I played tight end and defensive end in football and I ran the hurdles and threw the shot and disc. I played four years of college football at the University of Central Arkansas. I played defensive end there. I had a couple of pro teams looking at me, but I screwed up my senior year and ended getting kicked off the team. I made some bad decisions, just being a dumb college kid, and that led to it. When boxing came up, it was like a second chance for me.

 

“I wasn’t ready for my athletic career to be over. Football ended for me because I made bad decisions. I needed to be told that I wasn’t good enough for me to move on and go out and get a regular job. Around the same time that happened, my dad passed away. My mom told me that Tony Holden had a casino in the next town from where I went to high school. I had never met him before but we went out and had a great time talking about my dad. So I popped the question to him and asked if he’d help me get into boxing. He said absolutely not. I told him I was going to give it a shot because I wasn’t able to give up athletics. He called me back three days later."

 

Do you feel pressure being the son of Tommy Morrison? …

"Yeah. I think there’s a lot of pressure on me to do well, and I think that really weighed on me the first couple of fights. That’s always going to be there. No matter who I fight, or how good I do, they are always going to compare me to my dad. I just have to deal with it. There definitely is pressure, but I can deal with it better now.

 

“When I first started, people were comparing my first fight ever with how my dad ended his career…to his best fight. So obviously I wasn’t going to match up that way. I knew that I’d get better and that one day I’d get there.”

 

How would you describe your relationship with your father? …

“I’d say our relationship was awesome. We were great friends. Du vet, our time got cut short, and we didn’t get to spend a lot of time together. But the time we did have was amazing. And we really cherished it.”

 

Would you think your dad would be proud of you today, following in his footsteps?

“I think he would be proud of me. I wish he was here because the things he would say would help me a lot. I really do think he’d be proud.”

 

How much has your promoter Tony Holden meant to you?

 

“I wouldn’t be where I’m at without him. I can’t even put it into words. Ärligt, if I would have started boxing without him, no one would know who I was. Everything I have in boxing, is because of him. I met him in October of 2013, two or three months before I got into boxing.”

 

 

Freddie Roach, a seven-time Boxing Writers Association of America Trainer of the Year and 2012 inductee into the International Boxing Hall of Fame, will be in Morrison’s corner Fredag i Miami. He said Trey is dedicated, a joy to work with and has continued to improve. But he remains a work in progress.

 

“Trey’s a very nice person, a simple guy, real polite like most boxers.’’.

 

“He inherited his father’s punch. He’s a big puncher. He’s learned how to box and is getting better every day. He tries hard. I like the way he’s progressing. He holds his own with some of the veteran guys here at the gym and is doing very well.

 

“Once he learns to box a little more, he’s going to make a lot more noise in the division. My thoughts on the heavyweights right now is that it is not all that strong of a division. [Anthony] Joshua may be the best, and there are a couple other big names. But I think the division is mostly wide open for guys who have heart and balls and are ready to take it the distance. Trey’s that kind of kid.’’

 

It was Roach who wanted this fight. “His manager asked me if he was ready and I said he was 100 procent klar. Latimore is his toughest fight, but it’s time to step up.’’

NEW YORK (Sju. 6, 2016) – Light heavyweight Radivoje “Hot Rod” Kalajdzic will face unbeaten southpaw Travis “The Notorious” Peterkin in the 10-round main event of a stacked ShoBox: Den nya generationen quadrupleheader på Fredag, Sju. 23, leva på Showtime (10 p.m. OCH/PT, fördröjd på västkusten) från Buffalo Run Kasino i Miami, Okla.

The combined record of the eight boxers on the televised card is 114-3-1 med 78 knockouts.

Kalajdzic, 25, St. Petersburg, Fla., och Peterkin, 26, of the Brownsville section of Brooklyn, N.Y., kommer att göra sitt ShoBox debuts and initial 10-round starts.

This is Kalajdzic’s first fight since losing a highly controversial and questionable eight-round split decision to unbeaten 2012 Olympian Marcus Browne sista April 16 i Brooklyn. Kalajdzic is clamoring for a rematch with the world-ranked Browne, but he can’t overlook the strong, athletic Peterkin, who is coming off a shutout decision over Larry Pryor sista Mars 30 and is looking for a breakout performance.

I ShoBox co-feature, super lightweight powerhouse Ivan "The Beast" Baranchyk (11-0, 10 Kos), av Brooklyn, N.Y., faces Roc Nation prospect’s Wang Zhimin (7-0, 3 Kos, 7-1 WSB), of Nutley, N.J. by way of Ningbo, Kina, in a 10-rounder for the vacant USBA 140-pound title. In a scheduled eight-round bout, Ukrainian welterweight Ivan "Den Volk" Golub (12-0, 10 Kos, 5-0 WSB), av Brooklyn, tar på James “Keep’em Sleepin” Stevenson (23-2, 16 Kos), från Baltimore, Md.

Local favorite and son of the late former world heavyweight champion, Tommy “The Duke” Morrison, tungvikt Trey Lippe Morrison (11-0, 11 Kos) makes his highly anticipated television debut against fellow unbeaten and Roc Nation prospect Ed Latimore (13-0, 7 Kos), Pittsburgh, Pa., in the six-round telecast opener.

Tickets for the event promoted by DiBella Entertainment and Tony Holden Productions in association with Roc Nation Sports are priced at $35, $55 och $75 och finns påbuffalorun.com och vid stubwire.com. (Den $35 tickets are sold out).

Kalajdzic (21-1, 14 Kos), a 6-foot-2 native of Bosnia and Herzegovina, turned pro in June 2011. Han vann sin första 21 fights before losing to Browne in a bout in which many felt he won easily. Browne (18-0) landed an occasional hard shot, but Kalajdzic seemed to control the fight with his power and awkward style. Both boxers hit the deck, Kalajdzic (from what appeared to be a slip) in the first, Browne (clearly) in the sixth from a right hand to the head. Receiving credit for a knockdown in which no punch appeared to connect was the difference, and the fans booed when the scores of 76-75, 76-74 och 74-76 were announced.

“I am really excited about this fight and that I am on television again fighting another undefeated southpaw,"Sade Kalajdzic. “I am continuing where I left off with training camp from my previous fight since it’s another southpaw, so I will be more than prepared. Förhoppningsvis, Peterkin comes to fight and not hug like my last opponent did so we can give the fans a good fight.”

Peterkin (16-0-1, 7 Kos) would still have an unblemished record if not for losing two points in an eight-round majority draw with 2008 Dominikanska olympier Lenin Castillo (12-0) den aug. 1, 2015 vid Barclays Center. Peterkin had a point deducted in the fourth for hitting after the break and in the fifth for a low blow. Poängen var 76-74 och 75-75 två gånger.

Despite the draw in his outing before last, Peterkin considered this the most gratifying moment of his life. Från 2012-14, he stocked and served food in the suites at Barclays. In his most recent effort, Peterkin easily outpointed Pryor by the scores of 80-72 three times in New York. This will be Peterkin’s first fight outside of his home state.

A good boxer with excellent technique, Peterkin was introduced to boxing by his father, Bernard, en 1987 heavyweight Golden Gloves semifinalist, i 2001. Han gick 95-7 i amatörer; after winning the 2010 New York Golden Gloves, he went pro in January 2011.

“I was ringside at Hot Rod’s last fight. Jag respekterar honom, but I saw what his flaws are and will exploit them,” said Peterkin. “I am anticipating a war. Brooklyn is coming to Oklahoma and I will not disappoint. På Sju. 23, greatness beckons.”

Baranchyk, an offensive-minded fighting machine, packs outstanding power in both hands. He’s making his third appearance on ShoBox and third in a row at Buffalo Run. His otherShoBox startar, both first-round knockouts versus undefeated opponents, totaled a combined2:49.

The highly regarded, all-action Baranchyk registered a brutal, two-punch, 21-second stoppage over Nicholas Givhan (16-0-1) sista Mars 25 på ShoBox at Buffalo Run. He scored a 2:28, första omgången knockout över Shadi Shehadeh (9-0-2) i hans ShoBox debut last December. 11 i Houston, Texas.

Baranchyk was born in Minsk, Byelorussia and lives in Brooklyn. He’s won eight straight by knockout, including a third-round TKO over previously undefeated Joaquim "Eliseo” Kors (9-0-1) sista Juni 25 at Buffalo Run. Dominant with his speed and power from the outset, Baranchyk dropped Cruz in the second. Cruz’s corner threw in the towel at 1:07 av den tredje.

Allt 10 of the 5-foot-7, 23-year-old Baranchyk’s knockouts have come inside three full rounds, including six in the first. He’s fought 22 rounds in an 11-fight career. The only time he went the distance was in his third fight, a four-rounder in December 2014. Baranchyk, a former European amateur standout, turned pro in June ‘14 and relocated to the United States a few months later.

“I couldn’t be more excited about returning to ShoBox,” said Baranchyk. “Zhimin is a very skilled fighter and he will be my toughest opponent yet. Emellertid, I intend on ending this bout in devastating fashion. I guarantee you will see Zhimin on his back when the fight is over. I am looking to send a message to the rest of the junior welterweight division that I am someone to be feared.”

Zhimin, 30, turned pro in November 2010 and fought eight times in the WSB through 2011. After a three-year layoff, he relocated to the U.S. and has gone 7-0. He’s coming off an eight-round decision over Matthew Doherty sista Juni 11. Zhimin had great success in the WSB, winning the gold in 2011 in his native China, defeating Yerzhan Mussafirov of Kazakhstan in the tightly contested lightweight final. Innan det, he reached the final in the Chinese National Boxing Championship in 2010, where he received a silver medal. I 2012, Han vann en annan silvermedalj, denna gång på Erdos International Boxing Competition.

“It’s an honor for me to be a part of this great event,” said Zhimin. “I want to thank the promoters, my team and everyone who gave me this opportunity. My goal is to get that belt. I know it’s a process full of challenges, but I am not afraid of what lies ahead. I know that I will make it. I have faith in myself. I will do whatever I can to prepare myself for this title showdown and give the fans my best performance and bring home the belt.”

Golub, a 27-year-old who, at 6-feet, is tall for a welterweight, turned pro as a middleweight in November 2012. At the outset of his career, han gick 5-0 in the WSB. He’s gone 12-0 sedan, vinnande 10 genom knockout, including his last six in a row, the last three as a welterweight.

I hans ShoBox debut, he touched the canvas for the first time in his career, but bounced back to blast out Marlon Aguas with a series of combinations in the closing seconds of the sixth. He won by TKO.

Golub, a southpaw who’s coming off a second-round TKO over Ernesto Ortiz sista Juli 21, was an outstanding amateur. Han gick 270-32 som amatör, was a five-time national champion in Ukraine and won bronze at the 2009 World Amateur Championships.

“Stevenson has a lot of experience and I am preparing for a very tough fight,” said Golub. “He is a guy that likes to sit on his punches and trade, which is exactly what I want. Once he feels my power, he is going to be in trouble. This will be an exciting fight for as long as it lasts.”

Stevenson is making his ShoBox debut. En pro sedan 2008, he won his first 21 scraps until losing by ninth-round TKO to then-undefeated Sammy Vasquez den aug. 8, 2014. The fight was competitive for five rounds before Vasquez took over. Stevenson went down in the ninth.

The 5-foot-11, 33-year-old Stevenson has won two-of-three since, inklusive en femte omgången TKO över Kevin Womack sista Maj 14 in his first fight i 13 månader. A hard-hitting boxer-puncher, Stevenson has feasted on modest opposition and is still seeking a signature victory.

Stevenson has produced a respectable record in spite of his career getting sidetracked by a series of setbacks and tragedies. I 2011, during a routine jog, a dog viciously attacked him, requiring Stevenson to get more than 20 stitches. Kort därefter, his father James Stevenson Sr. passed away, as did his mother-in-law.

“I appreciate the opportunity,” said Stevenson. “But they made a big mistake giving me the time to get ready for this fight. I’m training real hard and I’m coming to make a statement. I’m not scared of Golub and I promise it won’t go the distance. I’m putting him to sleep.”

Morrison has registered eight first-round knockouts, two second-round knockouts and one fourth-round KO in a career that began in February 2014. Morrison, who bears a striking resemblance to his late father facially, physique-wise and with his fighting style, turns 27 påSju. 27. He’s fought all but one of his fights in Oklahoma; this is his 10th start at Buffalo Run.

A popular member of Holden’s Four State Franchise stable, the 6-foot-2 Morrison is fighting for the first time since he underwent surgery on his right tendon from an injury suffered in his most recent bout, a fourth-round TKO over Thomas Hawkins sista Jan. 23.

“I have worked so hard to get to this point and now this is my chance to show the world who I am. I want to thank SHOWTIME for the opportunity,” said Morrison. “Latimore is a huge step up in class for me, but I am ready for it. Once I hear those Oklahoma fans and feel the energy inside the arena, I flip a switch and it’s go-time. This is going to be my coming-out party.”

Latimore, who majored in physics in college, is a boxer-puncher expected to give Morrison his toughest test. Latimore is making his ShoBox debut and fourth start this year. He’s coming off an eight-round split decision over Juan Goode sista Juli 15.

Den 6-fot-1, 31-year-old Latimore turned pro in January 2013. Som amatör, he won the Pennsylvania Golden Gloves, National PAL and Ringside Championships, and was victorious over 2012 Olympian Dominic Breazeale and former IBF Heavyweight Champion Charles Martin.

“Morrison will be a real test for me,” said Latimore. “It’s never easy to fight someone in their backyard. I just fought in my hometown of Pittsburgh so I know the feeling coming into it and the momentum on fight night. I am looking forward to putting on a good show for all the fans in Oklahoma and those watching on ShoBox."

Mashantucket, CT (Juli 21, 2016) – Unbeaten rising middleweight Sergiy “The Technician” Derevyanchenko (9-0, 7 Kos) nedslagen Är “Kung” Soliman(44-14, 18 Kos) three times before stopping the former world champion in the second round of the main event of Premier Boxning Champions på ESPN and ESPN Deportes Thursday night from Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, CT.
EN 2008 Ukranian Olympian, Derevyanchenko was in control from the start, standing his ground and delivering smart shots as Soliman attempted to flummox him with movement and awkward angles.
Soliman got caught with a missile right hand from Derevyanchenko that landed right on the chin and sent the off-balance Australian to the canvas. Soliman didn’t appear hurt however, as he continued to come forward to try to disrupt and frustrate the undefeated fighter.
Derevyanchenko continued to land effective shots and caught Soliman off-balance again in round two, this time with a left hook that put Soliman on the ground. Soliman again got to his feet but Derevyanchenko quickly stunned Soliman and put him into survival mode.
Soliman tried to tie up and avoid Derevyanchenko, but eventually the undefeated fighter training, who trains in Brooklyn, landed several right hands before a sweeping left hook sent Soliman to the ground hard and for the final time of the night. Referee Johnny Callas waved the fight off at 2:41 av den andra omgången.
The opening bout of the evening saw hard-hitting Ievgen Khytrov (13-0, 11 Kos) lay a non-stop attack on Paul Mendez (19-3-2, 9 Kos) before eventually earning a stoppage in the ninth-round of their middleweight matchup.
Khytrov and Mendez went toe-to-toe from the first-round, exchanging flurries and showing a willingness to stand in front of their opponent. It was Khytrov who showed the more varied attack while getting out to a fast start and landing 50 percent of his power punches over the first three rounds.
Mendez stood tough and continued throwing punches, but was unable to land anything that bothered Khytrov. The Ukranian-born fighter who trains in Brooklyn attacked the body early while dazing Mendez with uppercuts and power hooks. Rounds seven and eight saw Khytrov increase his attack as he seemingly landed power punches at will.
The fight continued in that one-sided manner throughout the opening minute of round nine. Sensing an opportunity, Khytrov cornered Mendez and hit him with a series of unanswered hooks that forced referee Joe Lupino to stop the fight, at the recommendation of the ringside physician, 1:20 i det runda. Khytrov ended the fight with a 482-125 advantage in punches landed while landing 50 percent of his total shots.
Här är vad de stridande hade att säga torsdag:
SERGIY DEREVYANCHENKO
“I looked into his eyes after I knocked him down the first time and I knew he would continue coming forward. I wasn’t going to drop my guard. I didn’t even feel that punch on my glove because it was so clean to the chin. But I felt the final punch.
“I warmed up more than once and that broke my rhythm. In the ring I had to get my rhythm.
“Soliman came out nervous and not very coordinated, but that’s the way he usually fights. That’s his style.
“I’m going to keep moving forward. I can’t sit and wait. We will assess the situation and move from here.”
SAM Soliman
“I’m doing well. I didn’t get to warm up, just a couple of minutes, but that’s no excuse. He did his job. That’s never happened before to me.
“He’s a good boxer who did what he had to do. Jag kan inte ta något ifrån honom.
“After every fight, fighters have to decide what to do next. I have a lot outside of boxing that makes me happy, and it takes the sting out of tonight.”
IEVGEN KHYTROV
“I love to fight and battle and go toe-to-toe. I executed the game plan. My defense was much better and I’ve worked hard on my defense. This was my best fight because that guy stood and fought, he didn’t run.
“I wasn’t surprised that Mendez took so many punches because I didn’t throw every punch hard, I mixed it up, but did throw some hard punches.
“I want a couple more fights then I want to fight for the world title. That’s what I’ve worked so hard to do. I’m not going to dodge anybody. I want to fight Gennady Golovkin and take his belts.”

MIAMI, Okla. (Mars 26, 2016) – On a night of knockouts, unbeaten super lightweight Regis "Rougarou" PROGRAM (17-0, 14 Kos), av Houston, scored his third consecutive dominant victory on ShoBox: Den nya generationen, knocking out Mexico’s Aaron Herrera (21-5-1, 12 Kos) vid 2:17 av den första omgången Fredag i Main Event påShowtime från Buffalo Run Casino i Miami, Okla.

 

In scheduled eight-round bouts that all ended early, Ivan "The Beast" Baranchyk (10-0, 9 Kos), av Brooklyn, N.Y., registered a 21-second, första omgången knockout över Nick Givhan (16-1-1, 10 Kos), av Kalamazoo, Mich., in a super lightweight scrap, Ukrainian welterweight Ivan "Den Volk" Golub (16-0, 10 Kos, 5-0 i World Series of Boxing), av Brooklyn, N.Y., scored a sixth-round TKO over marlon Aguas (9-1, 6 Kos), Quito, Ecuador, och Justin DeLoach (14-1, 8 Kos), of Augusta, Ga., who is trained by former world champion Paul Williams, registered a fourth-round knockout over undefeated super welterweight and local favorite Dillon “White Lightning” Cook (16-1, 6 Kos).

 

All but Prograis and Baranchyk were making their ShoBox debuterar. Cook, Aguas and Givhan became the 143rd, 144th och 145th boxers to suffer their first pro loss on the prospect developmental series.

 

“I can’t remember i 15 år of working ShoBox a show with such emphatic knockouts – and two of them being spectacular knockout of the year candidates,'' Sa ShoBox expert analytiker Steve Farhood.

 

PROGRAM, 5-fot-9, 27-year-old originally from New Orleans, was fighting in his second consecutive ShoBox main event and second scheduled 10-rounder. The aggressive-minded southpaw pounded Herrera’s body from the opening bell; five of his six power punches were targeted to the Mexican’s midsection. A left hook to the body downed Herrera, who crumpled to the canvas and wasn’t able to beat the count.

“I was prepared to go 10 fulla rundor, the last thing I was expecting was a first-round knockout,’’ said Prograis, who was making his 2016 debut. “I’m making hard fights look easy but they’re really not. It’s all the daily work in the gym all day every day that is paying off for me. Tonight was fun. I’m very satisfied.

“I want all the fighters in my division to know one thing: I’m coming after all of you.’’

“He just got me with a great shot, it was simple as that,’’ said Herrera, who making his second start in the United States. “There’s really not that much that I can say.’’

 

The highly regarded Baranchyk – making his second eight-round start and second in a row on ShoBox – knocked out Givhan with a huge left hand with the first power punch of the fight. He required only two punches to finish the 17-fight veteran. Surprisingly, it wasn’t the quickest professional KO for the Belarus native. Baranchyk owns a three-second KO over Angel Figueroa från 2015.

 

“I’m very happy,’’ Baranchyk said. “I was expecting a much longer fight. I was focused on a full fight. But knockouts are good. I know fans like knockouts.

 

“I’ll take a week off and then go back to the drawing board. I’m looking ahead to fighting again soon and on ShoBox again.’’

 

Givhan was shocked with the result.

 

“I’m good but I am very, very disappointed,” Givhan said. “This is the lowlight of my life. For me to get knocked out by someone I know I can beat is just the worst feeling. And there’s nothing worse than for it to happen on national television.

 

“No one expects 20-second fights. Jag fastnade, det är allt.”

Golub, a former standout amateur from Ukraine, had to rally from the first knockdown of his career. “This was a little tougher than I expected,'' Sade han. “But it’s all about learning. I had to go through some adversity to win. You don’t know adversity until it hits you in the face.”

Golub was the more active fighter against the awkward Aguas, who was at his best when matters turned ugly. In a bizarre second round, southpaw Golub scored a questionable knockdown as Aguas hit the canvas while clinching and off-balance. Aguas bounced back seconds later to knock down Golub with a short right, sending the Ukrainian to the canvas for the first time in his career.

“I was surprised that I got knocked down, but he caught me off-balance,’’ Golub said. “Overall, I am very happy with my performance.”

Golub resumed control after the second and a series of combinations in the sixth sent a gassed Aguas falling back through the ropes in the closing seconds of the round. Aguas somehow rose to his feet to beat the count, but his trainer quickly waved off the bout when the Ecuadorian returned to the corner.

Aguas said an injury, not fatigue, was the reason his corner stopped the fight at the end of the sixth. “I hurt my right bicep in the fifth round,'' Sade han. “That’s the reason we stopped it. I wasn’t that tired.”

I öppnings slagsmål av telecast, DeLoach made Williams a winner in his training debut. With Williams looking on from his wheelchair in the corner, DeLoach, a winner of four in a row, dropped Cook with a devastating, counter-overhand right at 2:47 of the fourth that sent Cook awkwardly to the canvas in a knockout of the year candidate.

 

“I’m happy with my performance,’’ said DeLoach, who was the more active fighter, kasta nästan 100 more punches over the four rounds. “This was a great experience fighting a guy like this in his backyard. I enjoyed the crowd and their enthusiasm. It motivated me. I got a little lazy in parts of the second and third rounds, but I listened to my corner and picked it up on offense and got my punch count up and going again.

 

“Dillon was a good fighter who moved a lot. I know I have to do better cutting off the ring. He landed with a left a second before I landed that big right. This was a great win for all of us. I’m ready to do this again.’’

 

“Look at me, look at my shirt. It feels like I was sweating worse than when I fought,’’ said Williams, who’s pro career came to a sudden and tragic end when he was paralyzed from the waist down after a motorcycle accident in May 2012. “I am very relieved to get this one out of the way. I’m very happy for Justin and Mr. Pete (Paul’s longtime manager and trainer and DeLoach’s assistant trainer, George Williams)

 

"Jag är OK, all things considered,’’ said Cook. “He was a tough guy. I’ve never been knocked out before so I don’t exactly know how to act. I felt I was in the fight until I was caught. It’s disappointing, but this was a great learning experience for me. It can only help me in the long run.’’

 

A taped interview with Williams and ShoBox analyst Steve Farhood aired prior to the bout. In the discussion, Farhood asked the former two-time champ why he chose to return as a trainer for the first time since the 2012 motorcycle accident left him paralyzed.

REGIS PROGRAIS

 

"Detta är min största kampen. Vi har varit på gymmet i två månader att få klar. Vi sparring med varje stil, något som krävs för att få mig redo.

"Jag hade en hel del kul i min sista match på grund (Abel) Ramos bara hålls kommer. Jag kämpar en veteran, a different kind of guy tomorrow. He’s tough with the Mexican style so I expect him to be smart and know all the tricks.

 

"Herrera kommer med inget att förlora, men jag älskar att slåss den mexikanska stil. Jag har tränat i Houston, så han kommer inte att ge något jag inte har sett förut.

 

"Jag kan vara en smart southpaw eller jag kan bråk. Jag bara älskar att slåss, vilket är anledningen till att jag startade i boxning. Min tänkesätt är att bang och kamp, när det kommer till kritan. Ibland om jag inte träffar jag uttråkad så jag blanda upp det lite mer så jag kommer att få träffa och då kan jag komma tillbaka. Jag kan anpassa sig till någon stil.

 

"Detta är min tredje kamp på ShoBox och andra main event. Jag välkomnar tryck men samtidigt vet jag att jag måste ignorera det och bara njuta och ha roligt i det.

 

"Mentalt, Jag känner att jag är redo för en större kamp mot någon av de bästa utmanare, men jag vet de typer av slagsmål är fortfarande lite ner linjen för mig. Jag har fortfarande en hel del arbete att göra; Jag måste hålla tjat det tills jag får det bra.

 

"Jag ser fram emot en bra kamp i morgon. ''

 

AARON HERRERA

 

"Detta är en intressant kamp eftersom vi båda kommer upp i sporten. Jag har sett några av hans matcher och vet vad jag upp mot. Det ser ut som Prograis gillar att komma fram och kommer att kämpa, och jag kommer att göra detsamma, även om jag förmodligen mer av en boxare än en slugger.

 

"Det handlar om att ta hand om verksamheten. Jag har varit 12 rundor innan. I’ve fought some good fighters with good records. Detta är bara min andra kamp i Amerika men jag lärde mig en hel del från den första och det kommer definitivt att hjälpa mig. Jag har mer förtroende. Detta kommer inte att bli en ny upplevelse för mig.

 

"Jag har kämpat med vänsterhänta innan så efter ett par rundor, Jag är säker på att jag kommer att känna sig bekväm. Jag definitivt komma att vinna. Jag kan inte vänta med att höra öppningen klocka ring. ''

 

Oy BARANCHYK

"Detta är 100 procent den bästa killen vi mött. Nick är en stor kämpe och vi kan inte underskatta honom. Vi vet att allt kan hända i boxning. Jag satte arbetet i gymmet och nu måste jag göra mitt jobb i ringen.

 

"Jag är en stans, Jag gillar att ta det och jag kommer för knockout.

 

"Jag är bara 23 men jag arbetar mycket hårt och känner att jag kommer tillsammans. Jag är på gymmet hela tiden. En av de viktigaste sakerna vi arbetar på det mest är lugn inne i ringen. Jag känner att jag slå sig ner mer och arbetar jab, men det är fortfarande något vi arbetar på.

 

"Du kan inte bara gå in och slå ut alla. Det är inte så lätt. Du måste ställa in dina slag ibland. Jag kommer aldrig att förändras från att vara en naturlig hålslag, mitt team försöker inte ta bort elden i mig, de bara vill att jag ska slå sig ner. ''

 

NICK GIVHAN

"Detta är en stor möjlighet och jag känner mig välsignad att få det, men det är något jag har arbetat för år. Jag anser att detta är där jag ska vara i detta skede av min karriär. Jag behöver bara få i ringen för att se till att jag hantera min verksamhet i ringen

 

"Han är definitivt en av de tuffaste motståndare jag har inför. Han är stor, kraftfull och slår hårt hela kampen. Men jag är den tuffaste han möter.

"Detta formar upp som en boxare kontra hålslag kamp som gynnar mig. Han kan komma ut jabbing vid första, men när han rörde han kan vara frustrerad. Det är vad jag kommer att dra nytta av, hans över aggressivitet.

 

"Jag ser fram emot att ta vara på tillfället i morgon kväll. ''

 

IVAN Golub

 

"Jag är mycket glad över att vara på detta kort och ser fram emot att kämpa på min första ShoBox kort. Detta är ett stort steg upp och det kommer att bli en stor kamp.

 

"När jag fick chansen att kämpa på ShoBox, Jag visste inte ens fråga vem jag kämpade. Jag spar med några av de bästa ute (Ievgen Khytrov,Sergey Derevanchenko, etc.). Men jag är mer av en boxare lagare än några av mina lagkamrater.

"Jag arbetar mycket hårt. I-studie boxning mycket. Jag vet att min tid kommer. Så länge jag visar goda boxning färdigheter, knockout kommer. "

 

marlon Aquas

 

"Man måste vara försiktig med hungriga fikonI htersu vet ingenting om, men jag kommer att ge 100 procent i det. Jag är här för att visa att jag har vad som krävs för att bli en världsmästare.

 

"Jag är mycket motiverad. Detta är min första kamp i US. och på Showtime så jag funderar på att göra ett uttalande. Jag vet att efter denna kamp en massa dörrar öppnas. Folk kanske inte känner mig nu, men de kommer att känna mig efter i morgon kväll.

 

"Jag har en hel del rörelse men kan också stå där tå till tå och bråk. They are making a mistake taking a step up and fighting me. They don’t know what they’re getting into.

 

"Jag har varit utanför på grund av en skada på vänster hand, men det är helt läkt och jag är redo. Jag har haft massor av sparring.

 

"Jag är mer av en stylist, boxaren. Jag tycker om att flytta runt en hel del. Men om jag måste gå på det och bråk jag kommer. Jag verkligen vill visa fansen att jag är värd att titta på igen. ''

 

DILLON COOK

“This will be my toughest fight but I’m feeling great. I’m excited but not all that nervous. Det finns en viss press slåss på TV för första gången, men det har inte varit nervpåfrestande.

 

"Detta är en stor kamp; Jag är redo för allt han ger. Jag försöker inte över tänka någonting. Jag vill bara göra vad jag gör.

 

"Detta är en hemmamatch för mig. Jag bor ca 25 minuter. Så det hjälper att jag är van vid att atmosfären och behöver inte resa.

 

"Jag har sett lite av honom. Jag känner de saker han gör hela tiden kommer att arbeta mot honom. Hans komma framåt stil är bra för mig. Jag har haft gott om tid att förbereda (fem veckor) så det kommer inte att finnas några överraskningar.

 

"Jag tror att jag har kompetens att gå mycket far, så jag vill lämna ett gott intryck.

 

“Speed and footwork are my biggest weapons. I’ve been dazed before, men inte nedslagen. ''

 

JUSTIN Deloach

"Allt till denna punkt har varit en välsignelse för mig. Detta är definitivt en stor kamp och jag ser fram emot att göra vad jag gör och sätta på en stor show. Jag har inte sett en hel del Dillon men han är obesegrad och kommer att vinna. Jag är redo för vad han ger.

 

"Jag känner att jag har en hel del talang som ännu ses. Min viktigaste är att ta kontroll över kampen från början.

 

"Det här är så spännande. My biggest and most important fight yet. If I do what I’m supposed to I’ll be OK. Detta är min första åtta rundare men jag är inte orolig för att alls.

 

"Vi är en del av en stor ShoBox show. Jag kan inte vänta. ''

Dillon Cook Counting Down Days for ShoBox Debut!

Lämna en kommentar

 

D Cook.jpg

Seneca, MO (Mars 18, 2016) - På Mars 25, junior middleweight prospect Dillon “White Lightning” Cook will find himself in a familiar place but with a new challenge when he battles Justin DeLoach in an eight round bout on ShoBox: The New Generation at the Buffalo Run Casino in Miami, OK.

 

Tickets for the event promoted by DiBella Entertainment and Holden Productions are $45, $55 och $75 and can be purchased by logging onto Buffalorun.com or Stubwire.com.

 

Obesegrad i 16 professional bouts with six wins by knockout, Cook’s fought five of his last seven matches at the Buffalo Run, winning handily each time. A member of Holden Productions’ “Four State Franchise”, the popular Cook is from nearby Seneca, MO and fought in front of sellout crowds on multiple occasions. While these are definite advantages for Cook, DeLoach comes into the ring with an impressive background.

 

Against DeLoach, 13-1 (7 KO: s), Cook is taking a significant step up in competition and will do so before a national audience. Hailing from Augusta, GA and based in Houston, TX, DeLoach trained alongside top fighters including IBF junior middleweight champion Jermall Charlo, undefeated Jermell Charlo, Bryan Vera and Edwin Rodriguez amongst others. Nyligen, Team DeLoach announced that his new chief second is former two division champion Paul Williams and highly respected George Peterson will work as an assistant.

 

To prepare for DeLoach, Cook’s been training out of the Heartland Boxing Gym and travels to various gyms for sparring as he anxiously waits for the opening bell on Mars 25.

 

“I’m excited for the fight but trying not to let the pressure of fighting on TV get to me,” said Cook, a former National Junior Golden Gloves titlist and six time Kansas City Golden Gloves winner. "(To specifically prepare for DeLoach) we’re working on (technique to counter) his style. DeLoach is a good fighter I’ve seen him fight a few times he’s fast and a busy fighter but I’m pretty fast myself. I expect to match his speed, if not beat it.”

 

Cook also acknowledges his advantages and never second guessed taking the step up in competition.

 

“I’m a smart fighter and can adapt well (plus) hometown crowd is definitely a benefit. I knew we’d step (up the competition in the near future) and this is a great time for it. I’ve had 16 professional fights and am ready to show the world that I’m capable of going to the next level.”

 

Cook’s promoter, Tony Holden, is confident in his fighter and believes the locals will come out droves to support him.

 

“I’m proud to see him get a shot on a national stage. He’s a key part of the “Four State Franchise” and is a big crowd draw. He’s worked very hard and I expect him to put forth a tremendous performance. I’d like to personally thank Showtime as well for this incredible opportunity.”

 

The Cook-DeLoach bout opens up a quadrupleheader live on Showtime (10:30 PM ET). The card also features highly regarded junior welterweight Regis Prograis (16-0) against Aaron Herrera (29-4-1), two showdowns where somebody’s 0 must go between unbeaten welterweights Ivan Golub (10-0) and Marlon Aguas (9-0) and junior welterweights Ivan Baranchyk (9-0) vs Nicholas Givhan (16-0-1).
