The Rose District and our citizens are second to none when it comes to celebrating the arts and entertainment.”

The weather reports are favorable this time and we have a fantastic show lined up with crossroads fights, top to bottom.”


In the unlikely event of inclement weather, the show will once again relocate to Central Park Community Center at 1500 S. Main St.


O’Quinn vs. Sanchez – 10-Round Bantamweight Main Event Bout


Previously rated in the top-ten in the world by the WBO at 115 pounds, O’Quinn last fought at 118 pounds in a dominating unanimous decision over Oscar Vasquez in the 250th edition of ShoBox in January 2020. Ranked as the No. 1 amateur bantamweight in the country compiling a record of 130-18 før du tænder professionel i 2015, O’Quinn boasts blazing-fast hands and an ability to throw effortless combinations. A fan favorite in his hometown of Detroit, he was busy in 2018 og 2019, winning three times in each year, with five of the six fights taking place in his home state of Michigan.


“I’ve been waiting for this moment,” said O’Quinn. “I can’t wait to show my talent to the world again. I don’t really know much about him, but he better learn all he can about me. Not that it will help him any. I’m going to win because there are levels to this and he is not on my level. That will be very apparent quickly. I’m a strong force in the bantamweight division. Training is going good but it’s hard. I train hard and fight easy.”


The 24-year-old Sanchez, der er rangeret Nej. 8 by the WBA at 118 pounds, is riding a four-fight winning streak. Hans sidste time out, Sanchez made quick work of Frank Gonzalez, knocking him down three times en route to a first-round stoppage. The Pacoima, Calif. native scored an eighth-round stoppage of Brandon Benitez in an entertaining and all-action fight in his ShoBox debut in May 2019. He dropped his next fight, a split decision to Edwin Rodriguez, but rebounded with a unanimous decision over Victor Trejo Garcia to jumpstart his winning streak. Trained by Manny Robles, Sanchez is the younger brother of 19-1 professional featherweight Emilio Sanchez.


“This is the biggest fight of my career on the biggest stage of my career, and I’m not going to let this opportunity pass me by,” said Sanchez. “I’m going to show everyone watching on SHOWTIME that I belong with the big boys. O’Quinn is a good fighter but I’m going to give him his first loss. I’m at a point in my career where I need to make that turning point to a world title shot, and that time is now.”


Garnett vs. Nunez – 10-Round Super Featherweight Bout


Jayvon Garnett hails from the boxing talent-laden city of Cincinnati, Ohio, where he first put on a pair of boxing gloves at the age of six. He had a stellar amateur career fighting over 110 gange, developing his style and sharpening his skills in Ohio’s very competitive amateur boxing scene. The 26-year-old is coming off his career-best professional win, a unanimous decision over the once-beaten Jose Argel in June. Combining exceptional quickness and accuracy with a propensity for power, the 5’3” Garnett stopped five of his first six professional opponents. He has won his last four contests on the scorecards, all unanimously.


“It feels great to be fighting on SHOWTIME,” said Garnett. “I always dreamed of fighting on big platforms, but never dreamed it would be ShoBox for my first TV fight. Jeg ved ikke meget om min modstander, but I will win this fight because I’m smarter. I ringen, I’m a boxer and a thinker, but I also have heavy punches. Med denne sejr, I’m going to the next level up the ladder and getting closer to being in the world rankings.”


A decorated amateur in the Dominican Republic, Puerto Plata’s Luis Reynaldo Nunez started boxing at age eight and went on to win a number of national championships as a member of the Dominican national team, including gold in the 2016 Youth Championship. A fan-friendly pressure fighter with heavy hands, Nunez turned professional at 18, passing every test put in front of him in his native country. His unblemished resume includes a unanimous decision over then 20-3-1 Eliezer Aquino and a fourth-round KO over then once-beaten Giovanni Gutierrez.


“I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to be fighting on SHOWTIME,” said the 21-year-old Nunez, who will be fighting outside of the Dominican Republic for the first time. “My opponent is a good fighter but I am here to show him what happens against real competition. Thanks to my team for getting me this opportunity and I look forward to making a splash on national television.”


Guerrero vs. Eranosyan – Eight-Round Lightweight Bout


Kæmper ud af Houston, Texas, Guerrero is a big-punching prospect who will be making his third appearance on ShoBox, looking to improve his record to 2-1 on the prospect development series. He won a closely contested slugfest via majority decision over Jose Angulo in March 2020, but was upset by Abraham Montoya in February. En berømt amatør, der vandt to junior-nationaltitler, the 23-year-old “Pork Chop” has sparred with the likes of world champions Mikey Garcia and Brandon Rios at the famed Garcia Boxing Academy in California.


“Training is going great," sagde Guerrero. “I’ve been in shape for two months so now it’s just touching up basic stuff here and there with my technique. I know Eranosyan will be tough, so we’re going in with a strong mind knowing he can fight. I’m training hard because I will have to be more than ready. The guy will not be a walk in the park. But I have a different mentality now. The last fight, I went in with the mentality of ‘I can beat everybody.’ This one, I have to go in with a smart mind and actually box the guy and use all my skills.”


Rangeret som nr. 9 by the WBA at 130 pounds, Eranosyan was a highly decorated Georgian amateur who has transitioned seamlessly into the paid ranks. The 27-year-old didn’t turn professional until August 2020, but has already fought nine times. Now based in Miami Beach, Fla., “Pitbull” owns two notable fourth-round KOs over the 32-4 Juan Carlos Pena, including in his last time out on August 13. Eranosyan will make his ShoBox debut as he fights for the seventh time in 2021, which also marks his first pro fight outside of Florida.


“I haven’t studied Guerrero too much, but I watched a couple fights and he’s a good fighter with very good punching power and very good stamina,” said Eranosyan. “I’m adding a lot of stamina training and working on my legs for this fight to be ready for him. I don’t know exactly what will happen, but simply I am the best in the division, so I will win.”

KO Artist Shohjahon Ergashev Records First-Round Knockout; Ja’Rico O’Quinn Impressive In Eight-Round Unanimous Decision Against Oscar Vasquez



Fange Replay mandag, Januar 20 På 10 p.m. ET / PT On SHOWTIME EXTREME®

SLOAN, Iowa – January 17, 2020 - Three promising and undefeated Detroit prospects shined during ShoBox: The New Generation’s 250th episode Friday night with Russia native Vladimir Shishkin leading the way with a solid unanimous decision win in the main event Friday night from WinnaVegas Casino in Sloan, Iowa.



With Tyson Fury’s trainer Sugarhill Steward from the famed Kronk Gym in Detroit working his corner, the 28-year-old fast-rising Shishkin (10-0, 6 KOS) won for the second consecutive time on ShoBox in a battle of unbeaten fighters as he dominated Ulises Sierra (15-1-2, 9 KOS) San Diego, Calif. The 10-round super middleweight bout was scored in favor of Shishkin 100-90 og 99-91 to gange.



Also posting victories were Steward’s students Shohjahon Ergashev, who registered a first-round knockout, and Detroit native Ja’Rico O’Quinn who won unanimously in a dominating eight-round bantamweight bout.



“Ergashev was spectacular but you almost feel like you wish you got to see more,” said Hall of Famer and ShoBox analytiker Steve Farhood. “He’s the furthest advanced of the three and Ja’Rico O’Quinn sold himself tonight and was very aggressive, maybe too aggressive.”



Shishkin said afterwards that he fought with an injured left bicep and left elbow. “It was a much tougher fight than I thought it would be because I fought with one hand for most of the fight,"Sagde han. “I was surprised he could take my punches, but I couldn’t move his hand out of the way with the left to hit him with the right. That affected me a lot because I use that a lot.”



Han tilføjede: “I want Canelo (Alvarez). Jeg ønsker (David) Benavidez. I want the champions next. I am ready for the next level. With Sugarhill in my corner I am ready for anyone. Even with one hand.”



Steward is the nephew of the legendary trainer Emanuel Steward. “I thought all the Detroit guys did great,” Sugarhill Steward said. “They all got good experience on television. That’s a factor that some fighters don’t take in to consideration. When they get on television, they don’t know how to handle it. You have to be used to being on a stage like this and I’m happy with the way they all performed. All the guys from Detroit stepped up on television to further their careers. I’m very happy all-around.”



Sierra didn’t have an answer for Shishkin’s body shots as Shishkin connected on 65 body shots to 28 for Sierra. “He was sharp and he was strong,” said Sierra, who became the 189th boxer to lose his undefeated record on ShoBox i 19 years of the series. “But I was also hurt with a sprained hand a month before this fight and haven’t hit the bags since then.”



I co-featured Bout, hard-hitting super lightweight Shohjahon Ergashev (18-0, 16 KOS) showed off his powerful left hand as the southpaw from Uzbekistan also trained by Steward knocked out Adrian Estrella (29-5, 24 KOS). The fight ended at just 92 seconds into the first round with a devastating body shot as Estrella was unable to survive the entire 10-count.



“I just saw the window to the body, so I threw the shot,Sagde Ergashev, who is ranked in the top-15 in three of the four major sanctioning bodies. “I wasn’t planning to knock him out in the first round. I wanted to get some rounds in. The guy is durable and experienced, so I thought I would, but when I saw that opening, Jeg var nødt til at tage det.



“I knew it was over the second it landed though. I knew he would not get up from that. No one could. That was a message to the super lightweight division. It’s Shoh Time! No matter where I fight, it is always Shoh Time.”



After Ergashev landed the knockout blow, Estrella of Fort Worth, Texas, went down writhing in pain from the left uppercut to the liver and unable to continue.



“I started moving and tried using my jab, but he was very quick with that punch,” Estrella said. “He just punched me very hard in the stomach and I was paralyzed on the canvas. I tried to stand up, but I couldn’t hear the referee counting. I couldn’t hear anything, and I couldn’t move. It was a hell of a shot.”



I fjersynsudsendelse åbneren, former No. 1-rangeret US. amateur at bantamweight, Ja'Rico O'Quinn (14-0-1, 8 KOS) was impressive in his ShoBox debut as he outclassed a game Oscar Vasquez (15-3-1, 3 KOS) in a unanimous decision 79-73 three times at 118 pounds.



The WBO No. 10-ranked junior bantamweight O’Quinn worked the body effectively throughout the eight-round fight connecting on 83 body shots to 40 for Vasquez of Reno, Nev. O’Quinn outworked Vasquez with an average of 88 punches per round to Vasquez’s 59.2.



“I give this performance a six, to be honest,” said O’Quinn. “I want to fight bigger and taller people, that’s what I’m used to. I’m not taking anything away from Oscar. No matter what I will always come out on top. Even when things can get ugly, I know how to win beautiful.”



Farhood called the bout a “highly competitive, one-sided fight.”



Added O’Quinn: “I went into this fight knowing Oscar Vasquez was a tough guy. I knew he would be coming forward to make it ugly, so my game plan was to box him but if I had to, stand there and trade with him. I knew I’d be stronger than him and be able to take his punch. It was hard to land my shots with him leaning on me. I couldn’t turn him like I wanted and cut off angles, but we came, we conquered and I got the win.”



O’Quinn, who overcame a slow start losing the first round, ended round seven emphatically with a series of punches that rattled Vasquez, who stayed on his feet and didn’t give up. “I think I did amazing,” said Vasquez, a 32-year-old crane operator. “It was a very close fight. I thought I was winning the first five rounds. He hurt me once in the seventh round and that took a lot out of me. He was a better fighter tonight.”



Fredagens kampe blev promoveret af Salita Promotions. Hele tv-udsendelsen afspilles på mandag, Januar 20 på 10 p.m. ET/PT på SHOWTIME EXTREME og vil være tilgængelig på SHOWTIME ALTID® og SHOWTIME på DEMAND®.

His aggressive style and punching power make him a fighter who boxing fans want to see. 2020 will be a big year for both fighters. This series was built on giving young, talented fighters national television exposure and we are excited to get a first look at Ja’Rico O’Quinn, a U.S. amateur standout who is an all-action fighter with high expectations.”



“On January 17, boxing fans are going to see some of the best prospects in boxing from big to small,” said promoter Dmitriy Salita. “The card features young, hungry fighters in the super flyweight, junior middleweight and super middleweight divisions. Vladimir Shishkin, Shohjahon Ergashev and Ja’Rico O’Quinn are all undefeated, world-rated fighters on their way to national recognition and world titles. Første, they have to pass the biggest tests of their careers.”



The 28-year-old Shishkin shined in his United States and ShoBox: Den nye generation debut i august, registering an eighth-round technical knockout against then once-beaten DeAndre Ware. Standing at 6-foot-1, Shishkin was a standout amateur in Russia where he compiled 301 wins in 330 fights before turning professional in 2016. He has won his last four contests – all scheduled 10 eller 12 round fights – via knockout, herunder en 10th round TKO of former world title challenger Nadjib Mohammedi prior to his American debut in October 2018. Currently training in Detroit under Javan “Sugar” Hill, Steward at the new Kronk Gym, Shishkin is looking to continue his ascent up the rankings in the super middleweight division with a second consecutive statement win on ShoBox.



“Training with Sugar Hill at Kronk Gym is going really well, and I can guarantee that I will be ready and I will put my newly learned skills to use,” Shishkin said. “I hope for another emphatic victory that impresses the American boxing fans. I’m looking forward to putting on a great fight and letting the champions at 168 know that this is my year.”



The 30-year-old Sierra, from San Diego, Calif., is riding an eight-bout winning streak including a unanimous 10-round decision over Fidel Hernandez for the vacant WBC Silver Super Middleweight Championship in April. The son of former San Diego Padres pitcher Ulises “Candy” Sierra, he has sparred with future Hall of Famers Andre Ward and Canelo Alvarez and former world champion Peter Quillin. Prior to Sierra’s career-best win in April, he won four straight contests in Mexico, herunder tre af knockout.



“I’m happy for the opportunity to face a good opponent and I’ll use him as a steppingstone to get where I want to get,” said Sierra. “I still have a month of preparation to get into the best shape of my life. I know Shishkin is undefeated and has a Russian amateur pedigree. It’ll be the hardest fight of my career, but I will do anything and everything to come out victorious.”



Hard-hitting super lightweight Shohjahon Ergashev (17-0, 15 KOS), Usbekistan, is ranked in the top-15 in three of the four major sanctioning bodies. The 28-year-old is coming off an impressive fourth-round knockout of veteran Abdiel Ramirez this past August onShoBox. In his previous appearances on the prospect developmental series, the former member of the Uzbek national team scored a third-round knockout against then top-10 rated Sonny Fredrickson, and a 10-round unanimous decision over previously unbeaten Mykal Fox. The powerful southpaw currently trains alongside stablemate Shishkin in Detroit.



“I am adding new dimensions to my game and plan on making a big statement in the first ShoBox of the year,Sagde Ergashev. “2020 is going to be my year and I am going to set the tone in my fight with Estrella.”



Stjerne, who hails from Monterrey, Mexico, blev professionel i 2010 og vandt 22 consecutive fights before he suffered his first setback in 2015. With just seven of his 33 pro fights going the full distance, Estrella is an all-action fighter typical of his Mexican roots. He earned a career-best win, a closely-contested split decision over Oscar Duarte, i hans U.S. debut i februar. Estrella will face his fourth undefeated prospect in his last five fights as he looks to get his career back on track with a win over the highly-regarded Ergashev.



“This is an opportunity I’m going to take full advantage of,” said Estrella. “I’ve been in camp for the last two months, so I’ll be in perfect shape to go in there and do my thing. I know Ergashev is a southpaw and a hard puncher with a big KO record, but I’ve been in this situation before. I have too much experience for him. Knowing that if I win this fight I could get a world title shot is all the motivation I need.”



The 24-year-old O’Quinn is rated No. 10 i verden af ​​WBO. Ranked as the No.1 amateur bantamweight in the country compiling a record of 130-18 før du tænder professionel i 2015, O’Quinn boasts blazing-fast hands and an ability to throw effortless combinations. A fan favorite in his hometown of Detroit, he was last seen winning a unanimous decision over James Smith of Flint, Mich., i oktober.



“The time has finally come,” said O’Quinn. “It’s my time to show the world who the king is on live TV. For those that don’t know, Januar 17, I’m going to show the world greatness in is purest form. They are going to see charisma, skills and explosiveness. I know I’m fighting a tough competitor. Han kommer ikke til at fastsætte. I’m coming prepared for war. It’s going to be a great night for boxing in the super flyweight division. I’m putting all the champions on notice.”



Vasquez, from Reno, Nev., is a former streaking prospect in the super flyweight division. After losing his third professional fight, the 5-foot Vasquez rattled off thirteen consecutive wins between 2012 og 2017 and was well on his way to making a name for himself in the division before a unanimous decision loss to once-beaten Ricardo Sandoval in May 2018 halted his momentum. After a year-and-a-half layoff, Vasquez returned by fighting Gilberto Mendoza to a majority draw in October. På 32 år, the hungry Vasquez finds himself in a do-or-die fight against O’Quinn.



“Training in Reno is going amazing,” said Vasquez. “It’s such a tremendous opportunity for my life. I’m trying to get to a high ranking and it’s a dream come true. I know O’Quinn is undefeated. He’s a boxer who likes to grab a lot. He doesn’t like pressure. I’m hoping I will tire him out. I think he’ll eventually give in as the fight goes on if I put on a lot of pressure. In the later rounds, he won’t even want to come out of his corner.”

Billetter til live begivenhed, som fremmes af Salita Promotions, are on sale now and can be purchased at Ticketmaster.com and at the Dort Center box office.

Considered one of the top American heavyweight prospects, Franklin is a former amateur standout and 2014 National Golden Gloves Champion. He passed on the opportunity to compete for a spot on the 2016 Olympic Games and, after turning professional in 2015, built his undefeated record with relative ease through his first 17 slagsmål. I 2019, Franklin stepped up his level of opposition in consecutive fights on SHOWTIME, earning a unanimous decision over former No. 1-rangeret US. amateur Rydell Booker in April, followed by a hard-fought split-decision over Jerry Forrest in July. Nu, the 6-foot-2 Franklin returns for his third bout of the year seeking a conclusive victory for his hometown fans.

“This is what I have been waiting for,” said Franklin. “I can’t wait to put a show on in front of my hometown with friends and family in the crowd. I’ve been working on my diet and taking better care of my body since my last fight. I’m focused on not wasting any punches and letting the knockout come naturally, not pushing for it. I’m going to be better conditioned and more patient and finally prove to fans why I’m America’s next great heavyweight.”

Sour turned professional in 2016 and has won 11 for sit første 12 professionelle anfald. The 36-year-old is coming off a career-best win over previously undefeated Tomas Salek for the regional Czech heavyweight title. The 6-foot-5 Sour has fought all but one of his professional bouts in his native Czech Republic and will make his U.S. debut against Franklin. He was an accomplished amateur overseas and racked up an 80-43-2 record while representing the Czech national team from 2008 til 2015. The lone blemish on Sour’s record is a 2017 loss to highly regarded unbeaten heavyweight Filip Hrgovic.

“I have the technique, speed and power to beat Jermaine Franklin,” said Sour. “I am in great shape, I’m training hard and I’m very confident heading into this fight. Franklin is underestimating me because of my age, but I’m going to show him he’s wrong and have my hand raised when the final bell rings.”

“Jermaine Franklin is on a mission to show the world that he is the top new heavyweight on the scene,” said promoter Dmitriy Salita, Præsident for Salita Promotions. “He will fight the big and strong Pavel Sour who is coming off a career-best win. This is a significant heavyweight fight that will add to the already historic and electric event on October 5 headlined by Claressa Shields vs. Ivana Habazin.”

The 24-year-old O’Quinn (12-0-1, 8 KOS) stands 5-foot-6 and is rated No. 13 in the world by the WBO. Blazing-fast hands and effortless combination punching have allowed the undefeated O’Quinn to become a favorite among Motor City fight fans. O’Quinn was the No. 1-ranked amateur bantamweight in the country before turning professional in 2015. He was last seen on April 13 of this year at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, winning a dominant unanimous eight-round decision over Minnesota veteran Vicente Alfaro Martinez.
 

“On October 5 you can expect nothing less than what I always do and that’s win!” said O’Quinn. “This is the biggest fight of my professional career and my first 10-round fight and I’m taking it very seriously. I will look the best I’ve looked as pro on that night and after the fight I’ll be looking for bigger names to take on in the super flyweight division.”


A 29-year-old standing 5-foot-3, Smith (13-2, 7 KOS) carries a reputation as a throwback and one of the most exciting Detroit fighters of the last decade. Known for his fearless aggression in the ring, Smith’s fights are always “must see” fare for Detroiters. Also an accomplished amateur, Smith is a former National Amateur Champion and eight-time Golden Gloves Champion. His last fight came in February of this year at the Performance Arts Center in Dearborn, Mich., where he won a unanimous six-round decision over Mexico’s Jonathan Lecona Ramos.

“My opponent is solid, but he’s not on my level,” Said Smith. “He throws a lot of punches but he slaps a lot. There is nothing he can show me that I have not already seen before. The fans can always expect an exciting fight when it comes to me. I’m going to always put it all on the line to win.”

“Detroit is one of the best boxing fight cities in the country and this fight is an example of that,” Said Word. “Ja’Rico is touted as one of the best American super flyweights, while James Smith was a can’t-miss prospect when he turned professional. This fight could turn out to be the fight of the night because both guys will leave it all in the ring to win. Will it be Ja’Rico’s speed and timing, or will James Smith grind him down with his aggression and pressure? No matter who wins, this will be an unforgettable war.”

Den 24-årige Flint, mig. indfødte leverede den bedste ydeevne af sin karriere og cruisede til en enstemmig beslutning i Tysklands Christina Hammer lørdag på SHOWTIME i velsagtens de mest betydningsfulde kvinder boksekamp i historien. Dommerne scorede kampen 98-92 og 98-91 to gange.


De to-time olympiske guld-medaljevinder Shields (9-0, 2 KOS), der kom ind i kampen holder IBF, WBA og WBC 160-pund titler, fremviste hendes komplet arsenal af færdigheder i dominerende ydelse og nu slutter sig til Terrence Crawford, Jermain Taylor, Bernard Hopkins, Oleksandr Usyk og kvinders weltervægt Cecilia Brækhus som de eneste krigere for at have forenet alle fire store verden titler i enhver vægtklasse.


Christina Hammer (24-0, 11 KOS), der ejede WBO bælte ind i kampen, havde hende jab stort set neutraliseret og hendes forsvar udnyttet fra start til slut. Shields landede en bemærkelsesværdig 44% af hendes magt slag og landede på 112 samlede slag i forhold til netop 49 af Hammer. Som imponerende som hendes forbrydelse var, Shields’ forsvar og hoved bevægelse var pletfri Hammer var i stand til at forbinde på bare 13% af hendes samlede slag, 11% af hendes jabs og 18% af hendes magt skud.


Tale til SHOWTIME Hall of Fame analytiker Steve Farhood efter den historiske nat for kvinders boksning, den frimodige og følelsesmæssige Shields holdt intet tilbage.


”Jeg er den største kvinde af hele tiden,”Sagde Shields, som næsten fortjent et stop i løbet af en spærreild i de afsluttende øjeblikke af den ottende runde. "Jeg gjorde det. Hun vandt ikke en enkelt runde. Jeg næsten bankede hende ud. Jeg sværger, jeg føler, at jeg drømmer lige nu. Tak til Christina Hammer og hendes team. De sagde, at hun havde en hård jab og de var ikke lyve. Hendes jab er slukket kæden.


”Jeg var bare beregne i første runde, og efter at jeg begyndte at plukke hende fra hinanden,”Fortsatte hun. ”Jeg vidste, at jeg kunne såre hende. Jeg troede, jeg færdig med sin runde otte. Jeg troede kampen skulle have været stoppet. Hun holder fast mig. Jeg fortalte bare mig selv, hold hovedet koldt, hold hovedet koldt. Jeg forsøgte at få den perfekte punch til få hende ud derfra.”


Frisk fra den største sejr i sin professionelle karriere, den nyligt kronede ubestridte verdensmester allerede har sine seværdigheder indstillet på en anden modstander.


”Kvinders boksning, vi er i brand. Jeg kan ikke vente med at se den næste super kamp. Give me Cecilia Brækhus at 154 pounds. Det er der jeg vil næste. Enten hende eller Savannah Marshall.”


”Jeg kæmpede ikke meget god eller hurtig,”Sagde en dæmpet Hammer. ”Det er boksning, alt kan ske. Jeg ønskede denne kamp. Hun vandt, respekt for hende. Hun er en sej, stærk kvinde, og det er alt, jeg kan sige.


”Hun er hurtigt, hun kommer frem. Hun har hurtige hænder. Jeg kunne ikke lande min jab så god som jeg havde forventet. Jeg kommer tilbage, og jeg vil være tilbage stærkere.”


“Jeg tror aftenens kamp vil gå over i historiebøgerne som en episk kamp med folk som Ali-Frazier, Leonard-Hearns og De La Hoya-Trinidad,” Said Dmitriy Salita, Formand for Salita Promotions.“Med denne dominerende og fængslende præstation at blive kronet ubestridte mellemvægt mester sammen med sin liste over rekordstort resultater, Claressa Shields er godt på vej til at blive som æres som Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Robinson, Serena Williams, Michael Jordan, Pele og andre på toppen af ​​deres spil.”


I co-featured Bout, Jermaine Franklin (18-0, 13 KOS), bredt anerkendt som den øverste amerikanske sværvægter udsigten, holdt sin ubesejrede rekord intakt med en 10-round enstemmig beslutning i løbet af tidligere Nej. 1-rangeret US. amatør Rydell Booker (25-2, 12 KOS). Dommerne scorede kampen 99-91 og 98-91 to gange.


Den 25-årige Franklin dikterede tempoet hele og var langt mere aktiv og aggressiv end sin 38-årige modstykke. Booker havde sine øjeblikke, især i de tidlige runder, da han landede flere flush magt skud, men den ungdommelige Franklin trukket væk i anden halvdel af kampen som Booker træt og Franklin målrettede kroppen. Franklin gennemsnit 54 slag per runde til Booker s 35 og førte 146-94 i de samlede slag landede.


”Jeg tror, ​​jeg havde en anstændig ydelse,”Sagde Saginaw, mig. indfødte. ”Der er nogle ting, jeg kunne arbejde på. Jeg overfyldte mig en lille smule, og jeg var lidt over-ivrig. Han havde meget mere erfaring end mig og brugte den til sin fordel. Han kunne se, hvad jeg gjorde.


”Jeg lærte at blive mere tålmodig, fordi jeg havde ham ondt et par gange, men når jeg fik over-ivrig, min hele slagplan gik ud af vinduet. Jeg begyndte at rode op og gøre skøre fejl Jeg skulle ikke have. Nu er det tilbage til tegnebrættet for at arbejde på mine fejl og komme ud større og badder næste gang.”


”Jeg følte, at han ud-hustled mig, men det var meget tættere end hvordan dommerne scoret det,”Sagde Booker. ”Han manglede mig meget mere end det så. Jeg gled en masse skud og ramte ham rent.


”Jeg vidste, at han ville bringe trykket, men han har brug for en masse arbejde. Han forbliver også centreret med hovedet. Han er i orden. Hvad han har på sin side er ungdom. Jeg vil bedømme min forestilling om en syv. Jeg havde en træningslejr skade jeg havde at gøre med. Jeg har tænkt mig at forblive aktive og komme tilbage stærkere end nogensinde.”


I fjersynsudsendelse åbneren, ubesejret top-fem rangeret sværvægter udsigten Otto Wallin (20-0, 13 KOS, 1 ND) og Baltimore Nick Kisner (21-4-1, 6 KOS, 1 ND) havde deres 10-round Bout afbrudt, da de to sværvægtere stødte sammen hoveder i åbningen runde. Wallin lidt en flænge på siden af ​​hovedet, mens Kisner lidt et snit over hans højre øje, hindre hans evne til at se. På råd fra ringside læge i mellem runder et og to, dommer Earl Brown stoppet kampen, hvilket resulterer i en no-beslutning.


På tidspunktet for standsningen, Wallin del 14-3 i de samlede slag landede, 7-1 i jabs og 7-2 i power stempler.


"For mig, hans klip ikke ser så slemt,”Sagde en skuffet Wallin, der var at gøre hans U.S. debut. ”Det er en skam, fordi jeg trænet virkelig hårdt for denne kamp og var på udkig til at sætte på et show for fans i Amerika. Jeg havde bare ikke tid til at komme i gang.


”Jeg vil gerne komme tilbage i der snart og vise, hvad jeg kan gøre. Jeg har tænkt mig at tage dette som en lærerig oplevelse.”


”Jeg fangede en skalle og dommeren kom til mig,”Sagde Kisner. ”Han så mig aflæse på mit øje og sagde’kan du se?' Jeg sagde, ’Snart jeg får blod ud af mit øje, jo da.'


”Jeg føler forfærdeligt efter træning så hårdt. Jeg følte mig godt i første runde. Dommerne formentlig gav ham den første runde, men jeg altid tage ud i første runde. Jeg var følelse som jeg kunne komme til ham i sidste ende. Du så mig lander min overhånd rigtigt.”

Tyner and Chambliss Grudge Match Ready to Explode on October 26 i Detroit

Efterlad en kommentar

I boksning, there are “grudge” matches manufactured to sell fights, where the hostility is mostly acting. For eksempel, there are indications of that in the buildup to Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury’s upcoming showdown.

 

 

 

And then sometimes, two fighters really, really don’t like each other. Think Terence Crawford taking out Jose Benavidez Jr., recently.

 

 

 

In Detroit, the latter type of grudge match, a real grudge match, has heated to a boil on social media. With insults and threats going back-and-forth daily, outspoken Detroit boxing staple Lanardo “Pain Server” Tyner (34-13-2, 21 KOS) and upstart opponent Cortez Chambliss (4-0, 4 KOS) have been escalating hostilities since the day their match-up was announced.

 

 

 

The two Detroit-based welterweights will finally settle their differences in the eight-round main event on Friday, Oktober 26, at the MotorCity Casino Hotel.

A 14-year veteran, Tyner has been the 12-round distance with elite superstar Canelo Alvarez and world champions such as Lamont Peterson and Antonio DeMarco. He’s also taken out a number of prospects who found out too late they were in too deep.

 

 

 

“I can’t believe he even called me out,” continued Tyner. “He’s going to get a beating. This isn’t the amateurs and there are no shortcuts. This is not the door to come through.”

 

 

 

A heavily decorated former amateur, 21-year-old Chambliss has been flawless, hidtil, som en professionel. With power in both hands and above-average speed, Chambliss looks like a new face in the resurgent Motown boxing scene.

 

 

 

“This fight is personal to me,"Sagde han. “Not for the same reasons as my opponent; anger and hostility have nothing to do with it. For mig, it’s all about the energy of the risk and challenge. That’s what life is about: ‘growth through challenge,’ so I’m excited for this opportunity.”

 

 

 

Arrangementet, entitled “Night of Knockouts XIV” is presented by Carlos Llinas, in cooperation with Dmitriy Salita.

A ‘must win’ for both that I know will deliver for the fans. I am happy to be involved with the upcoming event and working together towards producing top contenders and champions in the championship city of Detroit.”
