MIAMI, Okla. (Syv. 24, 2016) – On a night when undefeated heavyweight Trey Lippe Morrison won his television debut and Ivan "The Beast" Baranchyk og Ivan "The Volk" Golub forblev ubesejret, lys sværvægter Radivoje "Hot Rod" Kalajdzic regained his winning ways by registering a fifth-round knockout over previously unbeaten Travis Peterkin i de vigtigste tilfælde af en ShoBox: Den nye generation quadrupleheader leve på SHOWTIME Fredag fra Buffalo Run Kasino i Miami, Okla.

 

Gør hans ShoBox debut and first start since suffering his lone defeat on a disputed decision to Marcus Browne, a motivated Kalajdzic (22-1, 15 KOS) St. Petersburg, Fla., dropped Peterkin (16-1-1, 7 KOS), of the Brownsville section of Brooklyn, N.Y., two times in the fifth before the fight was stopped at 1:32.

 

Other televised results: Baranchyk (12-0, 10 KOS), af Brooklyn, N.Y., took a 10-round unanimous decision over Wang Zhimin (7-1, 3 KOS, 7-1 WSB), af Nutley, N.J. i form af Ningbo, Porcelæn, i ShoBox co-feature; immensely popular local favorite and son of the late former world heavyweight champion, Tommy ”The Duke” Morrison, sværvægter Trey Lippe Morrison (12-0, 12 KOS) demolished previously unbeaten Ed Latimore (13-1, 7 KOS), of Pittsburgh, Pa., scoring a 2:19, first-round TKO; and Ukrainian welterweight Golub (13-0, 11 KOS, 5-0 WSB), af Brooklyn, registered a third-round knockout over James Stevenson(23-3, 16 KOS), af Baltimore, Md.

 

Kalajdzic overwhelmed Peterkin with consistent aggression, superior fighting spirit and better power. Han landede 45 procent af hans magt skud, Herunder 60 percent in the final round. Mere, he led 37-7 in body connects.

 

“The one-dimensional nature of Travis Peterkin cost him big time because he had no answer for Hot Rod’s right hand, and when he threw his own power shots they were ineffective,'' ShoBox ekspert analytiker Steve Farhood said afterward. “He was exposed i aften, and Kalajdzic rejuvenated his career after the loss with Marcus Browne.”

 

A 6-foot-2 native of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kalajdzic dropped Peterkin the first time with a right-left combination and finished him with a right-left-right combination. Peterkin fell heavily in a neutral corner, prompting the referee to stop it.

 

“He was a little bit awkward so it took me a little bit to find my range but once I did and I got into a rhythm, I knew he wasn’t going to last,’’ Kalajdzic said. “We have been working on staying patient and finding that range and it showed i aften.

 

“I wanted to make a statement in this fight and I did. I want the biggest names in the light heavyweight division, but before that I want Marcus Browne again. That is unfinished business for me. If he really thinks he won the fight then let’s do it again. We could fight next week. I’m ready.’’

 

Baranchyk, despite getting cut for the first time in his career (over his left eye in the fifth), vundet af snesevis af 100-90 to gange og 99-91. Der var ingen knockdowns.

 

The rounds, particularly in the fight’s second half, were competitive. Both fighters landed a high percentage of power shots, 44 percent for Baranchyk, 41 percent for Zhimin, but the difference was that Baranchyk was busier, crisper and physically stronger.

 

Going more than four rounds for the first time, he answered questions about his late-round stamina and feels he is now ready to step up again.

“The 140-pound division is loaded with talent,’’ Baranchyk sagde. “There are tons of fighters I would love to fight, but there are two guys in particular I’d like to fight next: Maurice Hooker and Abel Ramos. Hooker is with Roc Nation and is above me in the ratings. He’s undefeated and this would be a great fight to prove I’m one of the best up-and-coming guys in this division. I’d love Ramos to fight Ramos too. We are both promoted by DBE and I have heard he called me out. He’s a come forward guy and those are the type of fights I like and that make for great TV.

“I love the fans here in Miami and I love fighting on ShoBox. This was my first time going 10 rounds and I feel great. Of course I would have liked to get the knockout because I always want to put on a spectacular show, men dette var en stor lærerig oplevelse for mig. He was an extremely tough opponent and I was surprised he was able to take so many big shots. We have been working on being patient and boxing and I was able to show that i aften.''

 

Wang, who gave his best and never allowed Baranchyk to relax, sagde, “I felt a little tight and I couldn’t get my punches off like I wanted to. He was a little too big for me.’’

 

In a performance that lit up the arena, Lippe Morrison dropped Latimore two times and was on the verge of knocking him down again when the referee stepped in and halted matters at 2:19. Morrison decked Latimore the first time with a right hand midway through the first. Øjeblikke senere, Latimore went down again from two rights and a left hook. After a series of shots, the referee stopped it.

 

“You know I have to watch the fight, but I think I did alright,’’ said Morrison after what was supposed to be the most dangerous assignment of his career. “I know I have to be patient and work behind my jab and just take the opening that I see – patiently. Being patient is something I’ve really been working on. I really felt my patience this time.

 

“I didn’t expect it to end this quick. I knew it might, but I didn’t plan on it. It felt good to drop a guy with my left hand. I never had the accuracy or quickness with the left that I do know. I now feel that I am equally adept with both hands. My left is like my right.

 

“To win a fight like this is definitely a relief. I was nervous about the fight, but not about fighting on TV. This was supposed to be my toughest fight on paper and I think I did well.

 

“I feel I may have opened some eyes, but that’s in large part to Freddie Roach. I feel I’m improving thanks to Freddie. I’m throwing quicker, snappier punches and the coordination between my footwork with my hands is way better. All that is because of Freddie.

 

“I wasn’t going for the KO but I’m glad it happened. I could not have done it without Freddie, der er sikker. I’ll be going back to California in a week and then right to the gym.”

 

The knockout was Lippe Morrison’s ninth in the first round. He also has two second-round knockouts and one fourth-round KO in a career that began in February 2014.

 

“We want to see more of Trey Lippe Morrison,'Farhood sagde. “Let’s let Freddie Roach to do a little bit more of work with him. He had a tremendous pressure on him i aften, but he did fantastically and he responded very well. He made a big step up in class i aften and couldn’t have produced a better result: a first-round knockout.”

 

After a competitive, fast-paced first round, Golub took over as Stevenson appeared to tire. A picturesque right hook to the chin dropped and staggered Stevenson, who still wobbly, got up by the count of five, but Golub continued his two-fisted assault, delivered over 20 unanswered punches and the referee stopped it.

 

“To me the guy that stole the show was Golub,"Sagde Farhood. “We keep thinking of him as a boxer but he showed tremendous power i aften. He knocked out a very sturdy opponent in Stevenson and Baranchyk will benefit tremendously by going 10 runder. He showed a lot by throwing as many punches as he did late in the fight against an opponent who simply wouldn’t be hurt.’’

 

“I could see from the first round that he was leaving himself wide open when he was coming in,’’ said Golub after his second ShoBox begyndelse. “I knew it was only a matter of time until I caught him with something really big and I would get him out of there. I’m happy with the performance but know I still have a lot to improve on. Our game plan was to be patient and box and let him come to us. I’m looking forward to getting back in there soon and continuing to climb the ranks of the welterweight division.’’

Den nye generation: Lippe-Morrison ready for ShoBox debut

Efterlad 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, F.EKS. 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 aften på 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 runder. 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 sin 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® på 10 p.m. OG/PT

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

 

Dette Fredag, Syv. 23, Morrison makes his eagerly awaited television debut when he faces fellow unbeaten and Roc Nation prospect Ed Latimore (13-0, 7 KOS), of Pittsburgh, Pa., in the second bout of a ShoBox: Den nye generation quadrupleheader leve på SHOWTIME (10 p.m. OG/PT, forsinket på vestkysten) fra Buffalo Run Kasino i Miami, Okla.

 

Morrison, der vender 27 på Syv. 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 sidste 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. Selvfølgelig. 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. 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, 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 ved, 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. Ærligt, 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.’’

 

 

I Fredagens ShoBox main event, gang-slået Radivoje Kalajdzic (21-1, 14 KOS), St. Petersburg, Fla. will try and resume his winning ways when he meets undefeated Travis Peterkin (16-0-1, 7 KOS), af Brooklyn, N.Y.. i en 10-runde lys sværvægter skrot.

NEW YORK (Syv. 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 nye generation quadrupleheader på Fredag, Syv. 23, lever videre SHOWTIME (10 p.m. OG/PT, forsinket på vestkysten) fra 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., og Peterkin, 26, of the Brownsville section of Brooklyn, N.Y., vil gøre deres 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 sidste 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 sidste Marts 30 and is looking for a breakout performance.

I ShoBox co-feature, super lightweight powerhouse Ivan "The Beast" Baranchyk (11-0, 10 KOS), af Brooklyn, N.Y., faces Roc Nation prospect’s Wang Zhimin (7-0, 3 KOS, 7-1 WSB), af Nutley, N.J. i form af Ningbo, Porcelæn, in a 10-rounder for the vacant USBA 140-pound title. In a scheduled eight-round bout, ukrainsk weltervægt Ivan "The Volk" Golub (12-0, 10 KOS, 5-0 WSB), af Brooklyn, tager på James ”Keep'em Sleepin” Stevenson (23-2, 16 KOS), af Baltimore, Md.

Local favorite and son of the late former world heavyweight champion, Tommy ”The Duke” Morrison, sværvægter 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), of Pittsburgh, Pa., in the six-round telecast opener.

Billetter til arrangementet fremmes af DiBella Entertainment og Tony Holden Productions i samarbejde med Roc Nation Sports er prissat til $35, $55 og $75 og kan findes påbuffalorun.com og ved 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 vandt sin første 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 og 74-76 were announced.

“I am really excited about this fight and that I am on television again fighting another undefeated southpaw,"Sagde 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. Forhåbentlig, 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 Dominikanske Olympian Lenin Castillo (12-0) den aug. 1, 2015 på Barclays center. Peterkin had a point deducted in the fourth for hitting after the break and in the fifth for a low blow. Pointene blev 76-74 og 75-75 to gange.

Despite the draw in his outing before last, Peterkin considered this the most gratifying moment of his life. Fra 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 gik 95-7 i amatører; after winning the 2010 New York Golden Gloves, he went pro in January 2011.

“I was ringside at Hot Rod’s last fight. Jeg respekterer ham, 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 Syv. 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 starter, 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) sidste Marts 25 på ShoBox at Buffalo Run. He scored a 2:28, første runde knockout løbet Shadi Shehadeh (9-0-2) i sin 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” Cross (9-0-1) sidste 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 af den tredje.

Alle 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. Men, 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 sidste 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. Inden da, he reached the final in the Chinese National Boxing Championship in 2010, where he received a silver medal. I 2012, han vandt anden sølvmedalje, denne gang 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 gik 5-0 in the WSB. He’s gone 12-0 siden, vindende 10 af knockout, including his last six in a row, the last three as a welterweight.

I sin ShoBox debut, he touched the canvas for the first time in his career, but bounced back to blast out Marlon Waters 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 sidste Juli 21, was an outstanding amateur. Han gik 270-32 som amatør, 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 da 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, herunder en femte runde TKO i Kevin Womack sidste Maj 14 in his first fight i 13 måneder. 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 tid derefter, 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 påSyv. 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 sidste 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 sidste Juli 15.

Den 6-fods-1, 31-year-old Latimore turned pro in January 2013. Som en amatør, 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."

“I’m glad that because of this platform, everybody knows what I’ve been through now. People can see that anything is possible. Going through something like defeating cancer has helped me achieve my dreams.

 

“Badou Jack is a good fighter, but he hasn’t fought a guy like me.

 

“På fredag night I just have to hope that Jack doesn’t run. I want him to stand in there with me and we’ll see who’s better. I’m going to test his chin like nobody else has.”

 

JACK Badou

 

“I had the best training camp I’ve ever had and I’m ready to bring the title back to Las Vegas.

 

“I don’t do the social media trash talking, I save it for the ring and på fredag I’m going to show the world why I deserve to be world champion.

DANIEL JACOBS

 

“Fighting here in Chicago serves as extra motivation for me. I’ve always been the guy fans favored at Barclays Center, and I may have gotten a little spoiled. So I’m excited to be the guy that people want to see lose. Truax will probably have a larger crowd supporting him, and those fans will motivate me to be stronger and fight better på fredag.

 

“People love a great story. I’m extremely proud of my story and for having beat cancer, but let’s not forget about my skill set.

 

“Truax can say he’s tired of hearing about ‘The Miracle Man’ all he wants, but he shouldn’t be thinking about my cancer when we get in the ring. He should just fear me. I’m going to be a cancer to him once we start fighting.

 

“I’m not saying I’m going to knock him out. I’m just saying I’m going to win because that’s what I came to do. I’ll take a win however I can get it.”

 

CALEB Truax

 

“This is a huge fight and a huge opportunity for me. It’s a career-changer and life-changer for my career in boxing. I’ve got to be smart in this fight.

 

“I couldn’t be in any better shape right now. Physically I’m mature at 31-years-old. This is the right spot for me and a great opportunity.

 

“I want to thank all of my fans and you should expect to see a lot of people from Minnesota coming down to see me. It’s going to be great to celebrate with all of them.”

Vasquez (18-0, 13 KOS) trådte kampen søger hans 10th træk knockout mod en modstander, som ikke var blevet slået ned før og havde været i ringen med to US. Olympians. Den militære veteran var ikke i stand til at afslutte Lartey (17-3, 8 KOS, 1 NC), men det var kun om det eneste, der ikke gik sin vej i en grundigt imponerende præstation, hvor han landede 50 procent af hans magt skud.

 

Vasquez begyndte langsom og var i stand til at plukke sine skud i de tidlige runder, men han accelererede tempoet i anden halvdel af kampen, da Lartey syntes at bremse. Hjemby foretrukne gjorde sit bedste arbejde med Lartey mod tovene og landede efter behag i de midterste runder. Lartey virkede som om han var klar til at stoppe på hans afføring efter den ottende, men han fortsatte og Vasquez bremset sin produktion i de sidste to runder, og cruisede til sejr.

 

"Jeg troede han var på vej ned et par gange, men han hang derinde,"Vasquez sagde. "The jab gik godt, men jeg gjorde et par fejl, fordi jeg begyndte at føle komfortable. Jeg vidste, at han kom til skade efter den ottende og min hjørne fortalte mig at træde ud gassen lidt og hente mine slag mere i stedet for bare at storme ham.

 

"Jeg troede, han ville holde op et par gange på sin skammel. Han er en hård fyr - ingen kunne slå ham ud. Jeg kunne heller ikke. "

 

Lartey droppede sin tredje kamp til en top udsigt efter beslutningsprocesser tab Errol Spence Jr.og Felix Diaz.

 

"Sammy er en hård fighter,"Lartey sagde. "Han er virkelig stærk. Jeg gjorde mit bedste, men han var bare alt for godt. "

"Det var en meget kontrolleret og intelligent ydeevne ved Vasquez, accelerere runder skred, dominerer hver runde og styre handlingen, om boksning, angribe eller pinning Lartey mod tovene,"Farhood sagde. "Han viste en masse, og han fortjener det ry, han har for at være en af ​​de øverste unge amerikanske welterweights."

 

Craig Baker slået ud Humberto Savigne i en fantastisk forstyrret, efterbehandling indvarslede tidligere cubanske amatør med et højdepunkt-hjuls TKO på 1:58 af den anden runde.

 

Savigne (12-2, 9 KOS, 1 NC), der havde en enorm størrelse fordel og var den stærkt begunstigede fighter, landede en række rette hænder i den første og lignede han kunne gøre det til en hurtig nat mod ubesejrede-endnu-uprøvede Baker. Men texaner slås som en modstander, som ikke havde noget at tabe mod Savigne, en erfaren veteran med over 400 amatør anfald under hans bælte.

 

Baker (16-0, 12 KOS) landede et par anstændigt skud i den første og kom ud flammende i den anden, smide en høj volumen af ​​slag med Savigne mod tovene. Bekæmpelse i en lille ring, Savigne havde ingen steder at gå og konstant spiste skud på en mistænkt hage, før det faldt ansigt frem til lærredet. Savigne stod op, men han faldt i tovene og var tydeligvis ude på fødderne, tvinger dommeren at standse konkurrencen på 1:58.

 

"Jeg såre ham i første runde, og jeg kunne fortælle, at hans hage var svag, Jeg kunne fortælle, at jeg kunne afslutte ham,"Baker sagde. "I det andet, Jeg lugtede blod, og jeg vidste, at jeg var nødt til at gå på arbejde, Jeg var nødt til at slutte ham.

 

"Ingen gav mig chancen for at gå i, men jeg var den ubesejrede fighter og han var ikke. Jeg arbejdede for hårdt at komme her og taber. Jeg bare nødt til at holde arbejderklassen. Du har ikke set det sidste til mig - det er en livsændrende øjeblik ".

 

Den 36-årige Savigne var klart chokeret efter kampen.

 

"Han var den bedre mand i aften,"Said Savigne. "Jeg var ikke forventer ham til at være så hård, som han var. Jeg gjort en stor fejl i at tage ham let. Det er noget, jeg vil lære af. Nu vil jeg gå tilbage til tegnebrættet. Jeg vil gå tilbage til gymnastik - Jeg vil holde arbejder hårdt, og jeg vil være tilbage.

 

"I første runde, Baker ramte mig på den side af øret, og jeg mistede ligevægt. Jeg var helt svimmel. Han såre mig med at skud. Han var den bedste mand i aften. "

 

Claudio Marrero vandt en dominerende enstemmighed sejr over Orlando Rizo i åbningen anfald af telecast. Marrero (18-1, 13 KOS) kontrollerede kampen fra starten, banke Rizo (18-6, 11 KOS) ned fire gange på vej til en overbevisende sejr scoret 78-71, 78-70, 80-68.

 

Marrero var mere aggressiv og effektiv kampfly, landing 43 procent af power stempler og 39 procent af hans samlede slag.

 

"Jeg prøvede at oprette de store skud, så jeg kunne afslutte natten,"Marrero sagde. "Det fik væk fra mig til tider, men det var en god forberedelse til at tage det skridt for et skud på en verden titel.

 

"Jeg er ikke skuffet, jeg ikke banke ham ud. Jeg undervurderede hans ihærdighed for at komme tilbage op og bo i kampen, og jeg har brug for at arbejde på min disciplin, så det ikke sker igen. Jeg føler, at jeg er klar til et skud på en titel, når jeg får en chance. "

Her er, hvad de krigere havde at sige før Torsdagens indvejningen:

 

SAMMY VASQUEZ

"Denne kamp er helt sikkert vil være spændende. Jeg kan ikke tale trash om Emmanuel - han er en sej fyr, der har stået over for to US. Olympiske og aldrig blevet droppet. Så der er ikke meget jeg kan sige om ham.

 

"Jeg glæder mig til at åbne op for nogle mangler. Jeg har set et par ting, jeg kan gøre for at måske gøre ham skud afsted lærred.

 

"Jeg håber at alle melodier i. Vi har trænet hårdt, og det er kun begyndelsen. Det er starten af 2015 og ved udgangen af ​​det år, jeg håber at være en top contender eller få en titel skudt. Men jeg må komme forbi Emmanuel først, og det bliver ikke let. "

 

Emmanuel Lartey:

"Han har ikke konfronteret den type fyre, jeg har konfronteret; han ikke har stået over for oppositionen, at jeg har. Han kommer til at blive overrasket, når han træder i ringen med mig.

 

"Du skal ikke, Jeg er ikke bekymret for at kæmpe i sin hjemby. Jeg kan vinde med en beslutning, men jeg har tænkt mig at være på udkig efter knockout at gøre indtryk og afgive en redegørelse.

 

"Han har helt sikkert undervurderer mig. Sammy har opbygget sin rekord med cupcakes.

 

"Dette vil være en god test for ham og en god test for mig. Jeg har tænkt mig at være den, gå ud med en W. "

 

HUMBERTO Savigne:

"Jeg tager ikke nogen modstander let. Jeg ved Baker vil forsøge at bryde mig, men jeg har trænet meget hårdt og, i alle ærligt, Jeg er bedre end han er. Du må ikke tage mig forkert, Jeg er ikke udsigt ham. Jeg er bare fast besluttet på at vinde, og jeg vil, enten ved beslutning eller knockout.

 

"Jeg ved, jeg kæmper en hård fyr, men jeg har trænet hårdt, og det er mit år. Jeg er heldig at være omgivet af de af store hold.

 

"Jeg føler, at 2015 er mit år. Jeg rangeret tredje i WBC, og det er kun fordi jeg havde seks måneders inaktivitet, ellers ville jeg være andet. Efter Baker, Jeg ønsker [Adonis] Stevenson.

 

"Jeg foreslår fans til at blive klar, læne sig tilbage og nyde, fordi jeg har tænkt mig at give dem en reel show. Jeg har tænkt mig at gøre Baker se fyrværkeri. "

 

CRAIG BAKER:

"Dette er den kamp, ​​jeg har ventet på. Jeg får endelig mulighed for at komme med en erklæring og overraske nogle mennesker. Jeg ved, at jeg er underdog, men det generer mig ikke. Jeg er ubesejret af en grund. Han er den med et tab på hans rekord.

 

”En sejr ville gøre underværker for min karriere. Det ville åbne døren for nogle store muligheder.

 

”Det bliver en interessant kamp. Jeg spiller det efter øret, men jeg er klar til at være den angribende, og jeg er klar til at gå 10 runder. "

 

CLAUDIO MARRERO:

”Jeg er ikke skræmt af Rizos amatørpræstationer. Hvis han siger, at han trænet hårdt, godt, Jeg trænede stadig hårdere end ham. Jeg tror han er den, der ikke ved, hvad han er i for. Tro mig - er det ikke kommer til at være en dag i parken. Dette vil være en krig.

 

"Jeg ville ønske Orlando Rizo held og lykke. Han vil få brug for det ikke at blive slået ned.

 

"Jeg er ikke en trash talker. Det er simpelthen ikke min stil. Jeg gør alle de taler, jeg har brug for at gøre med mine næver i ringen. "

 

ORLANDO CURL:

"Jeg ved, det kommer ikke til at være en nem kamp. Jeg ved Claudio Marrero er hård, men jeg er klar til ham. Jeg har trænet meget hårdt for ham. Han må hellere være klar, fordi jeg ved, jeg er.

 

"Jeg tror ikke, han nogensinde har kæmpet nogen som mig. Mine amatør legitimationsoplysninger er upåklagelig. Jeg er en fire-tiden militær boksning, tre-tiden mellemamerikanske mester og tidligere nicaraguanske og FECARBOX Champion. Jeg fik også en bronzemedalje i 2007 Pan-American Games i Brasilien. Så han må hellere være klar til en hård kamp, fordi jeg ikke har tænkt mig at gøre det let for ham.

 

"Claudio Marrero bedre har sin A-spil på, fordi jeg kommer til at tage ham ned. "
