紐約 (七. 21, 2016) - Trey Lippe Morrison 是 11-0 同 11 擊倒. He is the son of the late former world heavyweight championTommy “The Duke” Morrison. A Grove, 俄克拉何馬州。, 本地人, Trey resides in Hollywood, 加利福尼亞州。, and is trained by 羅奇 at Wild Card Gym.

此 星期五, 七. 23, Morrison makes his eagerly awaited television debut when he faces fellow unbeaten and Roc Nation prospect Ed Latimore (13-0, 7 科斯), 匹茲堡, 霸。, in the second bout of a 的ShoBox: 新一代 quadrupleheader生活 開演時間 (10 P.M. AND/PT, 延遲在西海岸) 從 Buffalo Run 賭場 在邁阿密, 俄克拉何馬州.

莫里森, 誰轉 27 上 七. 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 10^日 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 最後 一月. 23.

Below is what Morrison and Roach said about Trey’s fight against Latimore星期五, 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 打架,’’ 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, 耶. Sure. 100 百分. His record says it all [13-0, 7 科斯]. 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, 是的. 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. If I’m not training, 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, 托尼·霍爾登, 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? …

“是啊. 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. 你知道, 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. 老老實實, 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.”

羅奇, 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 星期五 在邁阿密. 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. [安東尼] 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 ％的準備. Latimore is his toughest fight, but it’s time to step up.’’

This is Kalajdzic’s first fight since losing a highly controversial and questionable eight-round split decision to unbeaten 2012 奧林匹亞 馬庫斯·布朗 最後 四月 16 布魯克林. 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 最後 三月 30 and is looking for a breakout performance.

在 的ShoBox 共同特徵, super lightweight powerhouse 伊万“野獸”Baranchyk (11-0, 10 科斯), 布魯克林, 紐約州, faces Roc Nation prospect’s 王志民 (7-0, 3 科斯, 7-1 WSB), of Nutley, N.J. by way of Ningbo, 中國, in a 10-rounder for the vacant USBA 140-pound title.

Tickets for the event promoted by DiBella Entertainment and Tony Holden Productions in association with Roc Nation Sports are priced at $35, $55 和 $75 和可在buffalorun.com 在 stubwire.com. (該 $35 tickets are sold out).

Kalajdzic (21-1, 14 科斯), a 6-foot-2 native of Bosnia and Herzegovina, turned pro in June 2011. 他贏得了他的第一次 21 fights before losing to Browne in a bout in which many felt he won easily. 布朗 (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, 布朗 (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 和 74-76 were announced.

“I am really excited about this fight and that I am on television again fighting another undefeated southpaw,“Kalajdzic說. “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. 希望, Peterkin comes to fight and not hug like my last opponent did so we can give the fans a good fight.”

彼得金 (16-0-1, 7 科斯) would still have an unblemished record if not for losing two points in an eight-round majority draw with 2008 奧林匹亞多明尼加 列寧卡斯蒂略 (12-0) 上月. 1, 2015 在巴克萊中心. Peterkin had a point deducted in the fourth for hitting after the break and in the fifth for a low blow. 該得分 76-74 和 75-75 兩次.

Despite the draw in his outing before last, Peterkin considered this the most gratifying moment of his life. 從 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, 一 1987 heavyweight Golden Gloves semifinalist, 在 2001. 他去 95-7 在業餘; after winning the 2010 紐約金手套, he went pro in January 2011.

“I was ringside at Hot Rod’s last fight. 我尊重他, 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. 上 七. 23, greatness beckons.”

Baranchyk, an offensive-minded fighting machine, packs outstanding power in both hands. He’s making his third appearance on 的ShoBox and third in a row at Buffalo Run. His other的ShoBox 開始, 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) 最後 三月 25 上 的ShoBox at Buffalo Run. He scored a 2:28, 第一輪淘汰賽上 沙迪Shehadeh (9-0-2) 在他的 的ShoBox debut last 十二月. 11 在休斯頓, 得克薩斯州.

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” 十字 (9-0-1) 最後 六月 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 第三節.

所有 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 的ShoBox,” said Baranchyk. “Zhimin is a very skilled fighter and he will be my toughest opponent yet. 然而, 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 最後 六月 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. 在此之前，, he reached the final in the Chinese National Boxing Championship in 2010, where he received a silver medal. 在 2012, 他再奪一枚銀牌, 這次在鄂爾多斯國際拳擊比賽.

“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.”

戈盧布, 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, 他去 5-0 in the WSB. He’s gone 12-0 因為, 勝利 10 淘汰賽, including his last six in a row, the last three as a welterweight.

在他的 的ShoBox 登場, 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.

戈盧布, a southpaw who’s coming off a second-round TKO over Ernesto Ortiz 最後 七月 21, was an outstanding amateur. 他去 270-32 作為一個業餘, 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 的ShoBox 登場. 親自 2008, he won his first 21 scraps until losing by ninth-round TKO to then-undefeated 薩米瓦斯奎茲 上月. 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, 包括第五輪將軍澳 Kevin Womack 最後 五月 14 in his first fight 在 13 個月. 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. 在 2011, during a routine jog, a dog viciously attacked him, requiring Stevenson to get more than 20 針腳. 此後不久, 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. 莫里森, who bears a striking resemblance to his late father facially, physique-wise and with his fighting style, turns 27 上七. 27. He’s fought all but one of his fights in Oklahoma; this is his 10^日 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 最後 一月. 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 的ShoBox debut and fourth start this year. He’s coming off an eight-round split decision over Juan Goode 最後 七月 15.

身高6英尺1, 31-year-old Latimore turned pro in January 2013. 作為一個業餘愛好者, he won the Pennsylvania Golden Gloves, National PAL and Ringside Championships, and was victorious over 2012 奧林匹亞 多米尼克Breazeale and former IBF Heavyweight Champion 查爾斯·馬丁.

“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 的ShoBox.”
