SERGEY LIPINETS: “WE NEVER MISSED A BEAT IN PREPARATION, EVEN WITH OPPONENT CHANGE”

Αφήστε ένα σχόλιο
Former World Champion Lipinets Battles Unbeaten
Custio Clayton for Interim IBF Welterweight Title
Ζουν σε Showtime® Σάββατο, Οκτώβριος 24 Headlining a
Premier Boxing Champions Event

ΝΕΑ ΥΟΡΚΗ (Οκτώβριος 20, 2020) – Even with a change in date and then opponent, πρώην παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής Σεργκέι Lipinets remains supremely confident in his training camp and overall preparations as he prepares to take on unbeaten Custio Clayton for the Interim IBF Welterweight Title live on SHOWTIME this Saturday, Οκτώβριος 24 (9 μ.μ. ET / 6 μ.μ.. PT) headlining a Premier Boxing Champions event.

“We never missed a beat in preparation, even with the opponent change,” said Lipinets. “My fight with Kudratillo Abdukakhorov was on and off for so long that I already had an idea that he was going to be forced to back out, so I wasn’t shocked. I don’t really care, αν και. Whoever I have to fight I’m ready to fight, so I didn’t consider backing out of fighting for even one second.”

Lipinets credits his trainer, the renowned Joe Goossen, for helping his fighter mentally through the changes, in addition to the physical training they have undertook heading into the fight.

“Having Joe Goossen is like having a psychiatrist as well as a trainer,” said Lipinets. “He’s been extremely helpful about how to approach all of this. Joe helped me stay calm and understand that something good can always come from a bad or difficult situation, and because of that, I never lost focus.”

Clayton is a Canadian Olympian with an unblemished pro resume heading into this showdown. While Lipinets notes that there are differences in the fighting styles between Abdukakhorov and Clayton, none of it changes his intent on October 24.

“I know that Clayton has a great amateur background,” said Lipinets. “I’ve checked out his style, and the main difference is that Abdukakhorov is more active and Clayton is more accurate. Abdukakhorov is also a little more aggressive and Clayton is more patient.

“I don’t think one is tougher or easier than the other. I think that anyone fighting at this level is a difficult opponent. Abdukakhorov moves around more and can be more awkward with the different styles he uses. Both are very tough guys, but I’m ready for Clayton and focused only on him at this point.”

Despite his sole focus on Clayton, Lipinets knows that this fight brings a big opportunity to make a loud proclamation to the rest of the stacked welterweight division with a big performance to capture the interim IBF title.

“I’m prepared to make one statement – I belong here,” said Lipinets. “I want to fight the best. I want to make my imprint on this sport and build my legacy. I’ve had to do it the hard way, but I’m not complaining. I fought for my first championship in just my 13ου υπέρ αγώνα. I believe that I belong right there at the top of this sport. People need to start mentioning my name with the top guys and after this fight they’ll have to. You can’t look past me anymore.”

Tickets for the Mayweather Promotions’ Σάιν Σίτι ξεκινούν από $25 και μπορούν να αγοραστούν στο: https://mayweatherpromotions.com/events/.



Κυνηγός, 27, επιστρέφει στο Sam’s Town Live after an impressive 2019, in which he won a decisive 10-round unanimous decision against Cameron Krael and scored an upset victory over former amateur standout Sanjarbek Rakhmanov. He comes from a family of fighters, he’s the younger brother of heavyweight contender Michael Hunter and his father was a well-respected boxer who sparred with Mike Tyson. Hunter has spent the entirety of his training camp at Prince Ranch Boxing Gym in Las Vegas, where he trains alongside undefeated welterweight Blair Cobbs.



Here is what Hunter had to say about his recent training camp and upcoming battle with Hawkins:



On his opponent…



“This is my time to shine. Hawkins is a good fighter, he is talented, but he stands in my way. I am not just fighting for myself, but for my family. If you look at my record, I’ve fought some very tough guys. I know I’m battle ready to take my career to the next level. Hawkins is going down. I am going to make people respect the Hunter name once again



“I have nothing bad to say about Malik Hawkins. He is a hard-working fighter. I just feel that I am better. Αυτό είναι ο χρόνος μου, and no one can take this opportunity away from me. The problem for Hawkins is, I have trained harder than ever to get the win. I am more focused than ever.”



On training camp…



“I wanted this camp to be very specific. I get good sparring at Bones Adams’ gym and a lot of top pros have come through there like Shakur Stevenson, Manny Pacquiao, and many others. I have watched how they trained, and I have used that same work ethic and principles for this camp with the supervision of my coaches.”



On his status as a contender…



“I’m now ranked 13 από το WBA, which makes me a contender. I must get past Hawkins, so believe me when I tell you I’m going to leave everything in the ring. I’m looking at this fight like it’s a world title. Losing is not an option.”



On making his SHOWTIME debut…



“I am excited to headline on ShoBox: Η νέα γενιά. It’s a platform that launches fighters’ careers, and SHOWTIME has a fantastic and professional production crew. One goal from the beginning was to showcase my talent on a big stage like this, now I’m here. This is a very big opportunity for me, I’m not going to let it slip away.”



Hunter is managed by Greg Hannley of Prince Ranch Boxing, advised by former two-time heavyweight world champion Hasim Rahman promoted by Greg Cohen, Founder and CEO of Greg Cohen Promotions.

Τα εισιτήρια για το Sin City Showdown του Mayweather Promotions ξεκινούν στις $25 και μπορούν να αγοραστούν στο: https://mayweatherpromotions.com/events/.



Χίττσιν, του Μπρούκλιν, Ν.Υ., επιστρέφει για τη δεύτερη συνεχόμενη δοκιμή του στη σειρά αναπτυξιακών προοπτικών. Στην τελευταία έξοδό του, κέρδισε ομόφωνη απόφαση για τον Κέβιν Τζόνσον στο Sam's Town. Χίττσιν, ένας 22χρονος 2016 Αϊτής Ολυμπίου, έχει κερδίσει τη φήμη για το ότι έχει το skillet ενός βετεράνου με ένα στιβαρό και λείο στιλ μέσα στο δαχτυλίδι. Ο Hitchins έχει πιστώσει κάποια από την ανάπτυξη του μποξ σε συμβουλές και δείκτες που έχει πάρει από τον παγκόσμιο πρωταθλητή Daniel Jacobs και Shakur Stevenson, και ο συμπατριώτης Gervonta Davis.



"Ωραία" DeLomba, πολεμώντας από το Cranston, Ρ.Ι., έρχεται με πέντε νίκες με πέντε νίκες με νοκ-άουτ. Είναι πιο γνωστός για την αδυναμία του και την ευελιξία του στο δαχτυλίδι και φαίνεται να κάνει μια ισχυρή δήλωση στο εξωτερικό καθώς κάνει το Λας Βέγκας και ShoBox κάνει το ντεμπούτο του.



Εδώ είναι τι είχαν να πουν οι Hitchins και η DeLomba πριν από τον Φεβρουάριο 28 ταιριάξει:



Πώς προχώρησε το εκπαιδευτικό στρατόπεδο για τον Φεβρουάριο 28?



Χίττσιν: «Η κατασκήνωση είναι καλή, αλλά είμαι πάντα στο στρατόπεδο. Δεν υπάρχει ποτέ η στιγμή που δεν ετοιμάζω και τελειοποιώ την τέχνη μου, Είμαι πραγματικά μαθητής του παιχνιδιού. Ξέρω ότι πλησιάζω στο επόμενο επίπεδο στην καριέρα μου, γι 'αυτό πρέπει να παραμείνω έντονος και στο γυμναστήριο για να παίξω στο επόμενο επίπεδο.



«Πηγαίνω στο Κολοράντο για να τελειώσω το εκπαιδευτικό στρατόπεδο. Εκεί βρίσκεται το Ολυμπιακό κέντρο προπόνησης, και είναι ένα μέρος που έχω πάει μερικές φορές για να τελειώσω το στρατόπεδο μου. Ο αέρας είναι καλύτερος εκεί και αυτό με βοηθάει πραγματικά να φτάσω σε καλύτερη κατάσταση να πάω στον αγώνα. "



DeLomba: «Το στρατόπεδο προπόνησης είναι υπέροχο. Παίρνω όλα όσα χρειάζομαι για να προετοιμαστώ για τον αγώνα: θρέψη, σχέδια γευμάτων, και αντοχή και ρύθμιση. Έχω προσθέσει έναν νέο προπονητή δύναμης και κλιματισμού και έχω τροποποιήσει τα πράγματα για να προσαρμοστώ στο στυλ του Hitchins. Είμαι έτοιμος να πάω και δεν μπορώ να περιμένω τη νύχτα του αγώνα. "



Ποιο είναι το σχέδιο παιχνιδιού σας σε αυτόν τον αγώνα?



Χίττσιν: "Το σχέδιο παιχνιδιού μου είναι το ίδιο για κάθε αγώνα. Μείνετε συνθετικοί και γίνετε ο πρώτος που θα χτυπήσει. Είμαι σε ένα σημείο της καριέρας μου όπου ο ανταγωνισμός γίνεται σκληρότερος, οπότε το κύριο πράγμα για μένα είναι να διατηρώ την άμυνα μου στενή. Η άμυνα μου θα με κρατήσει σε καλή κατάσταση κατά τη διάρκεια των αγώνων καθώς ο ανταγωνισμός γίνεται απότομος. Αλλά συνολικά, Έχω πάντα τη νοοτροπία ότι είμαι το καλύτερο, εξυπνότερα, και γρηγορότερος μαχητής.



«Περιβάλλω τον εαυτό μου με πρωταθλητές. Αυτός είναι ο μόνος τρόπος να γίνω ένας και αυτός ο αγώνας με κάνει ένα βήμα πιο κοντά. "



DeLomba: «Σκοπεύω να μπω και να πολεμήσω έξυπνα; κολλήστε στο σχέδιο παιχνιδιού που έχει η ομάδα μου για μένα και εκτελέστε το καλά. Ο στόχος μου είναι να ξεπεράσω ό, τι προσπαθεί να μου ρίξει. "



Τι γνωρίζετε για τον αντίπαλό σας?



Χίττσιν: "Δεν ξέρω πολλά. Είναι αυτός που η ομάδα μου επέλεξε για μένα, γι 'αυτό θα κάνω τη δουλειά και θα τον βγάλω. Την πρώτη νύχτα του αγώνα, Θα έχω μια πιο ξεκάθαρη ιδέα για το πώς να τον βγάλω. Μπορώ να προσαρμοστώ σε οτιδήποτε. "



DeLomba: «Ξέρω ότι ο αντίπαλός μου έχει γρήγορα χέρια και του αρέσει να ρίχνει ταχέως πλάνα. Είμαι απόλυτα επικεντρωμένος στον εαυτό μου και στην εκπαίδευσή μου. Πιστεύω στις ικανότητές μου ως μαχητής. Δεν εκφοβίζομαι. "



Τι θα είναι μια νίκη τον Φεβρουάριο 28ου κάνε για την καριέρα σου στο μέλλον?



Χίττσιν: «Μια άλλη νίκη με φέρνει στο επόμενο επίπεδο. Είμαι πεινασμένος, Προέρχομαι από το τίποτα, οπότε μένω με ένα τσιπ στον ώμο μου. Είμαι ευγνώμων για την ομάδα μου, Mayweather Promotions, και να δείξω ότι μου έδωσε αυτή την ευκαιρία να χτίσω το όνομά μου στο άθλημα και να δείξω στον κόσμο τι μπορώ να κάνω. "



DeLomba: «Μια νίκη επί των Χίττσιν θα με οδηγήσει στο επόμενο επίπεδο. Είναι μια τηλεοπτική περίοδος και αυτό θα μου φέρει την έκθεση που χρειάζομαι για να διασκεδάσω και να εκθέσω τον εαυτό μου σε ένα νέο κοινό. Θα βελτιώσει πολύ την καριέρα μου. "

UNDEFEATED SUPER LIGHTWEIGHT MALIK HAWKINS TO FACE KEITH HUNTER FRIDAY, Φεβρουάριος 28 IN MAIN EVENT OF SHOBOX: THE NEW GENERATION TRIPLE-HEADER

Top Mayweather Promotions Prospects Hawkins, Ρίτσαρντσον Χίτκινς, and Kevin Newman II Featured in Separate Bouts Live on SHOWTIME® From Sam’s Town Live in Las Vegas



TICKETS ON SALE TOMORROW!



LAS VEGAS – January 30, 2020 – Undefeated super lightweight prospect Malik Hawkins returns to the ring to make his ShoBox: Η νέα γενιάseries debut as part of a three-fight telecast when he faces fellow undefeated Vegas native Κιθ Χάντερ in the main event that is scheduled for 10 rounds on Friday, Φεβρουάριος 28 ζουν σε SHOWTIME (10:45 μ.μ. ET / PT) από Sam’s Town Live στο Λας Βέγκας.



Two other Mayweather Promotions’ top prospects will face tough challenges, ως 2016 Ολυμπίου Ρίτσαρντσον Χίτκινς (10-0, 5 KOs) and once-beaten Las Vegas native Kevin Newman II (11-1-1, 6 KOs) both return for their second ShoBox appearances fighting in separate bouts. Χίττσιν, the undefeated super lightweight prospect, will take on Rhode Island’s Νικ Ντε Λόμπα (16-2, 5KOs) σε μια 10-στρογγυλή περίοδο, while Newman will seek his fifth consecutive victory when he steps in the ring with undefeated Kalvin Henderson (12-0-1, 8 KOs) σε μια 10-στρογγυλή περίοδο έξοχο middleweight.


Tickets for the Mayweather Promotions’ Sin City Showdown go on sale Friday, Ιανουάριος 31 στο 12 μ.μ. PT, ξεκινούν από $25 and can be purchased by visiting: https://mayweatherpromotions.com/events/.



“As we kickstart another year, I’m confident that we will continue to exceed expectations and bring top tier events to the sports and entertainment world,” says Leonard Ellerbe, Διευθύνων Σύμβουλος της Mayweather Προσφορές. “Our first stop of the year is at our home venue for club shows and a stacked Friday night ShoBox κάρτα. These prospects are looking to put on impressive performances to start their year off. They’re putting in the work to take their fight game to the next level, and on February 28 we will see them challenge themselves against tough opponents at Sam’s Town Live and live on SHOWTIME.”



Hawkins, (18-0, 11 KOs) known as “Ice Man” in the ring, fights out of Baltimore, Md., and is coming off the heels of two back-to-back knockout victories. His most recent came via fifth-round stoppage against Darwin Price on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING COUNTDOWN on the Davis vs. Gamboa undercard on December 28. The 24-year-old Hawkins is trained by the highly touted Upton Gym coaches’ trio of Calvin Ford, Kenny Price, and Russ Blakey. Hawkins turned professional in 2014 with a knockout victory, which foreshadowed what was to come from the young fighter. Ως ερασιτέχνης, Hawkins amassed an impressive 160-15 record while competing in the 2012 και 2013 National Championships and won a bronze medal in the 2012 Jr. Ολυμπιακοί Αγώνες. Best known for his gritty and powerful fighting style, Hawkins joined the Mayweather Promotions team in late 2019 with a knockout decision win over Al Rivera at Cannery Casino & Hotel.



“It feels great to headline my first ShoBox συμβάν,” says Hawkins. “This is something I wanted to do since I was a kid. A win in this fight and the exposure fighting on a platform like SHOWTIME only brings more recognition to my talent and skills and bigger and better opportunities. I have more than myself to fight for. I have the kids who look up to me at Upton Gym. I fight for them they’re my real motivation.



“I can’t say much about my opponent. I know he’s also undefeated. He is a durable opponent and he’s coming to fight, but if you watched my last fight you know I come in to take my opponents 0.”



Twenty-seven-year-old Keith Hunter (11-0, 7KO του) comes from a fighting background. He’s the younger brother of heavyweight contender Michael Hunter, and his father was a well-respected boxer who sparred with Mike Tyson for many years before his tragic death. Hunter didn’t have a long amateur career, electing to turn professional after just 28 αγώνες



“I feel confident coming into this fight,” said Hunter. “My last two bouts, I defeated Mayweather fighters and I’m confident with the insight I have. We’re both 6-feet tall, but he’s missing components as a fighter. He has trouble fighting on the outside. He is more comfortable on the inside. I feel I’m the better more skilled fighter going into the fight.



“Anytime I get to fight on a big stage like SHOWTIME, I invest a piece of my heart and soul, so hopefully my fans and anyone who watches my fight will see a genuine kid fighting for legacy and not money. This opportunity will help me connect with more people and I’m forever thankful for it.”



Χίττσιν (9-0, 5 KOs), από το Μπρούκλιν, is a former two-time Golden Gloves champion who represented his parents’ home country of Haiti in the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games. One of boxing’s top young prospects, Hitchins has sparred and trained with several world champions including Terence Crawford and stablemate Gervonta Davis. Just 21-years-old, Hitchins boasts incredible hand and foot speed and the boxing IQ of a veteran contender. Having fought eight out of his 10 professional fights in his hometown, Hitchins will travel to Las Vegas for a second time looking for a statement win in his follow-up ShoBoxεμφάνιση.



“I’m hungrier than ever,” said Hitchins. “I see my brother Tank winning and prospering and I feel that same energy around me when I’m training for hours in the gym and perfecting my craft. I’m made to be great and I have the right people around me who keep my focus, keep me training at the highest level, and push me outside my comfort zone to be victorious. That’s what will show on fight night when I’m inside the ring.”



“Nice” Nick DeLomba (16-2, 5KO του), πολεμώντας από το Cranston, RI, έρχεται με πέντε νίκες με πέντε νίκες με νοκ-άουτ. Είναι πιο γνωστός για την αδυναμία του και την ευελιξία του στο δαχτυλίδι και φαίνεται να κάνει μια ισχυρή δήλωση στο εξωτερικό καθώς κάνει το Λας Βέγκας και ShoBox debuts next month.



“What a great opportunity this is to fight on SHOWTIME,” said DeLomba. “I’ve been fighting my way up to this point and now it’s about showing the world who I am and growing my brand. That’s what I plan on doing come fight night. I take every fight and lesson with me to the gym and train harder than the day before and push myself to really be the best fighter. I know I’m coming in as the underdog, but it’s only going to make me want the win more and to be that guy who gives Hitchins his first defeat.”.



Las Vegas’ own Kevin Newman (11-1, 6KO του) started boxing when he was nine-years old and built up an amateur record of 25-5 before turning pro in 2014. Impressed by Newman’s skills and technique in the ring as an amateur, Floyd Mayweather signed the rising super middleweight to his stable of fighters in the summer of 2014. Newman made his professional debut on the Mayweather vs. Maidana II undercard, where he fought to a draw against Azamat Umarzoda. Newman returns to ShoBox having avenged the only loss of his career against Mark Anthony Hernandez. Newman defeated Hernandez on November 1 at Sam’s Town Live, redeeming himself from their first matchup in 2017 on the Mayweather vs. McGregor undercard. Newman remains humble and hungry as he climbs the ranks in the super middleweight division.



“It’s always good to get that weight off your shoulders,” said Newman of his recent victory over Hernandez. “I work hard day in and day out to be the best me and I follow God’s plan. I understand that there’s more for me on my journey now and I’m past that and I’m looking to the future on February 28.



“I’ve seen Kalvin fight. There isn’t anything particular that stands out about him. I’ve been in the ring with top tier guys as an amateur and a professional and I have fought tougher opponents. I’m always the smarter opponent.



“Fighting on SHOWTIME does a lot for me. It’s not about the win, it’s about πως κέρδισα. I’m going to put on another dominant performance, something that will set me apart from the rest, and I’m going to take advantage of every opportunity that continues to come my way.



Originally from Fayetteville, Ark., but fighting out of Fort Worth, Tx., Χέντερσον (12-0-1, 8 KO του) doesn’t have a typical background for a professional fighter. He’s a University of Arkansas alumni who pursued a career in music when he was awarded a scholarship as a percussionist. He never lost sight of boxing since he was first introduced at 15 years old and quickly after graduating in 2012, he shifted his focus back to boxing. Henderson has quickly established himself as one of the faster rising super middleweights in the division and welcomes the challenge to continue his pursuit in becoming a world class boxer.



“Fighting in other people’s backyard is not a big deal,” says Henderson. “There’s no pressure on me to do anything. I take care of business and I go home. I will say that it brings a different motivating factor. It forces me to train harder and it affects my game plan because we can’t leave the rounds too close.



“I’m excited to get in the ring and execute my game plan in front of wide audience. I want to show the world what me and my team already know. I make it hot in the ring. That’s why they call me, ‘Hot Sauce’.”

Raymond Serrano looks to continue career upswing against Malik Hawkins This Friday night in Philadelphia

Αφήστε ένα σχόλιο
Φιλαδέλφεια, PA (Μάρτιος 27, 2018) – Αυτή την Παρασκευή νύχτα, welterweight υποψήφιος, Raymond “Τίτο” Serrano will look for his 4th consecutive victory when he takes on undefeated prospect Malik Hawkins in the 10-round main event at The Fillmore in Serrano’s hometown of Philadelphia.
Serrano whose winning streak has coincided with his changing of training venues to Los Angeles, has defeated three fighters in a row that sport a combined record of 25-4.
Στην τελευταία έξοδό του, ο 28 year-old Serrano was impressive in defeating previously undefeated Enver Halili via 8th round disqualification.
“Είχα ένα μεγάλο στρατόπεδο εκπαίδευσης. Freddie Roach trained me and I will be cornered by his assistant Ernie Zavala την Παρασκευή,” Είπε Serrano. “Training in Los Angeles is a big part of my winning streak. Out there, I am always around big fighters, and I can focus on boxing 100% of the time.”
Another big part of his resurgence is his manager Mark Cipparone of Club 1957 Διαχείριση. Cipparone has helped put Serrano in the best possible situation for Serrano to succeed, and Serrano fully acknowledges that.
“Mark is certainly a big part of this. He makes sure that I get tested in each fight. The reason that I am around such good training is because of him. With all that, I feel that I can compete with anyone at welterweight, and I will continue to show it.”
In Hawkins, Serrano is facing an undefeated but untested foe, and he feels with his confidence at a sky high level and ring experience will prove to be the difference.
“Hawkins is undefeated, but this is not the first undefeated fighter that I have fought (It will be his 6th undefeated opponent). I know he is young, so I want to see what he has. I am more experienced, and that will be a huge factor την Παρασκευή. Experience is everything. I know what it takes to beat these guys. I don;t think he will be able to do to me what he has to his previous opponents.”
Cipparone has been seeing the steady improvement in the 11 year-veteran Serrano.
“His last four fights have developed him further then he has at any point in his career. I would even say beginning with his fight against (Undefeated Prospect) Alex Saucedo. Raymond would have won the fight if he didn’t get caught in the 2nd round. Look at the scores. I think that fight was a turning point for him. It gave him the confidence that he could compete on the level of the top of the division,” said Cipparone, who also manages heavyweight Joey Dawejko.
“Raymond has the natural ability to go along with a tremendous ring I.Q. He is such a sophisticated fighter in there, and now he has found that warrior inside of him. I feel it is his time to get to the top of the welterweight division. This fight is a gift to the promoters as it is for the NABA-USA title with the winner not only going to get the belt, but a ranking in the WBA. You don’t see fights like this on the club level shows.”

OXON HILL, MD. (Απρίλιος 15, 2017) – Undefeated WBA Interim Light Heavyweight Titlist Dmitry Bivol knocked down Samuel Clarkson three times en route to a fourth-round TKO Παρασκευή στο κύριο γεγονός τηςShoBox: Η νέα γενιά live on SHOWTIME from MGM National Harbor.

 

Bivol (10-0, 8 KOs) is now the mandatory challenger for WBA (τακτικός) Light Heavyweight World Champion Nathan Cleverly.

 

Bivol stalked Clarkson from the opening bell. The former Russian amateur standout floored Clarkson in the opening 30 seconds with a series of shots and then knocked him down again a minute later with a straight right. Clarkson (19-4, 12 KOs) survived the round but didn’t respond well to trouble and was unable to upset Bivol’s rhythm and incredible accuracy.

 

Clarkson was knocked down for a third time when he appeared to walk into a big right midway through the fourth, forcing referee Harvey Dock to halt the contest at 1:40 as Clarkson struggled to get to his feet. Bivol landed 46 percent of his power shots over the four rounds compared to just 17 percent for Clarkson.

 

“I thought I would finish him in the first round, but I think it was better that it went to four rounds because the fans were able to see the way I fight,” Bivol said.

 

“I’m definitely ready for my title shot against (Nathan) Cleverly in my next fight. Είμαι έτοιμος. "

 

Clarkson had entered the ShoBox main event on a nine-fight winning streak.

 

“He caught me with a good body shot for the first knockdown,” Clarkson said. “I thought I was back in the fight in rounds two and three. In round four I got caught, I stumbled and my balance was off.”

 

Welterweight prospect Malik Hawkins kept his undefeated record intact with a dominating second-round TKO of previously undefeated Carlos Soto in the ShoBox ομο-χαρακτηριστικό γνώρισμα.

 

Hawkins (11-0, 8 KOs) attacked early and virtually closed Soto’s left eye late in the first round. Soto took a knee in the closing seconds of the round but survived, although his vision was clearly impaired.

 

Hawkins out-landed Soto 39-15 στη δεύτερη, συμπεριλαμβανομένου 15-1 στο τελευταίο λεπτό. The ringside physician ruled that Soto (13-1-2, 7 KOs) could no longer see out of his left eye following the second round and waved off the contest.

 

“Hard work and dedication. I had a strong camp and believe in my team,” said Hawkins, who is trained by Baltimore’s Calvin Ford and is a stablemate of IBF Junior Lightweight Champion Gervonta Davis. “What makes it even more special is the blessing of my first-born child.”

 

“I want to give a shout-out to my opponent. He was big, he was strong, he was durable and he was undefeated.”

 

Soto became the 163 fighter to suffer their first defeat on ShoBox.

 

In a matchup of undefeated super bantamweights in the opening bout of the ShoBox τηλεοπτική εκπομπή, Glenn Dezurn narrowly edged Leroy Davila to hand the latter his first career loss in a back-and-forth fight scored 78-74 by all three judges.

 

The Baltimore native Dezurn (9-0, 6 KOs) seemed to throw the harder punches and was more effective while fighting on the inside against Davila (5-1, 3 KOs), who was the naturally smaller of the two. While Dezurn was the more active fighter – he threw nearly 100 more punches over the eight-round bout – the final rounds were extremely difficult to score as the fighters landed within eight total punches across the last three rounds.

 

“I came into the fight with the best trainers in the world, I train at the best gym in the world. I have the best team in the world and, το πιο σημαντικό, I have the best wife and sparring partner in the world,” said Dezurn, who trains under Barry Hunter in Washington, Διαμ, and spars with his wife, female professional boxer and former eight-time national amateur champion Franchon Crews.

 

“My team told me that all of the training and sparring I do is harder than this fight itself. The sparring I do every day is harder. I wasn’t going to shortchange myself during this fight when what I do every day is harder and when all of my friends and family came out to support.”

 

Davila became the 162 fighter to suffer his first defeat on the prospect developmental series.

 

"Απόψε wasn’t about winning or losing I showed that I have dog in me. I answered that question,” said Davila. “I went off the game plan and should have listened to my corner. The size played a small part in the fight, but I am not making any excuses. I have seen small men knock out big men before.”

Τελικές Τιμές:

 

DMITRY BIVOL:

“The plan was to become world champion in my first 10 αγώνες. We’re almost there.

 

“Clarkson is a big light heavyweight, but I have fought bigger guys. Αυτή είναι μια σκληρή μάχη, but we were willing to take a risk for this opportunity to fight on TV.

 

“I did have a transition from amateur to pros. The WSB helped that transition and gave me experience. I’ve been able to learn from fight to fight, and I’ve gained experience in each fight.

 

“I’ve been trying to be more aggressive and control the pace of the fight. I’m comfortable going forward and backward.

 

“We’ll feel out the power and timing in the beginning. I know what people expect of me – they want the KO – and if the opportunity comes I’ll try to finish him.

 

“Working at Wild Card has been a big difference. Training in the U.S. is completely different. In Russia it’s mostly amateurs, so you get used to the wrong style. Most of what I’ve learned has been from sparring with pros here in the U.S.

 

“Clarkson usually comes forward. He seems uncomfortable moving back. We think we can use our advantages to cap on his mistakes and get him out of his comfort zone.”

 

SAMUEL CLARKSON:

“I’m not an underdog. I’ve fought my way up here to this position and the winning streak. I feel like I’ve proven myself to be here. My losses have helped me get to where I am. I know I belong here.

 

“I’ve never been one to get knocked down and stay down. I’m ready for whatever comes. The pressure isn’t on me. I just need to do my thing.

 

“I’ve been in some wars. I know what it’s like to get knocked down. He hasn’t been there before. I need to stand my ground. I’m not backing up.

 

“I want to see what the hype is about. His whole career is my winning streak.

 

“I’ve been sparring with top quality guys. Είμαι έτοιμος για αυτόν τον αγώνα. It’s a big opportunity and I don’t feel any pressure.

 

“He hasn’t been in wars like we have. It’s hard when you face a guy like me that isn’t afraid of you. He’s one dimensional. We want to make him as uncomfortable as possible.

 

“We’re coming to take his belt. He’s going to have to stop us from taking it. He’s never faced anyone like me – a really fast fighter with a lot of power.”

CARLOS SOTO:

“I’ll do whatever it takes. If I have to come forward, I’ll come forward. If I have to box, I’ll box.

 

“Hawkins a smart fighter, γρήγορα, tall. He likes to fight at a distance. I need to pressure him to win the fight.

 

“I’ve faced fighters as tall as him before. This isn’t new for me.

 

“I’ve only been in the U.S. once before, and I’ve never fought here. I need to take advantage of this experience.

 

“My goal is to go for it. I want to be the best in my weight class. Everything starts now for me.”

 

MALIK HAWKINS:

“I grew up with Gervonta (Davis). I saw him win the title, I’ve seen his success, and now it’s my turn. It’s been great motivation for me. For him to become a champion motivated me even more.

 

“We’ve sparred 1,000’s of rounds with Gervonta. We’ve been in there with the champ and know it’s our time.

 

“We’re here to prove we’re ready. We don’t want to take any shortcuts. We’re taking this one fight at a time. We’re building and building.

 

“I’m tall, but I have an inside game. I fight inside better than a short fighter.

 

“People don’t want to take the chance to fight me. Credit to Soto for taking the fight, but he’s going to learn the hard way why no one wants to fight me.”

 

LEROY DAVILA

 

“We knew this was coming some day and now it’s here. We know all about Dezurn. He’s the perfect opponent for us. We know can break him down.

 

“When I didn’t make the Olympic team, I got right over it. But I wasn’t sure I was going to turn pro. I have a family to take care of and I can’t let anything distract me from being a father. But now I’m 5-0 and fighting on national TV. This is the moment I’ve been waiting for.

 

“Dezurn is an aggressive and has a lot of heart, but I’m not worried about him. I need to focus on myself.

 

“A win puts me in the conversation with the other up-and-coming fighters. A win could really change my career.”

 

GLENN DEZURN:

 

“Sparring with my wife helps me. She hits like a dude. She’s taught me a lot – she taught me discipline. We push each other in the gym; we make each other better fighters.

 

“If you can make an adjustment with a sharp female woman, there’s no reason you can’t do it with a man.

 

“I like to break down my opponents. I become aggressive when I see a weakness.

 

“I’m ready to fight. I’m ready to get in there. I worked hard and now it’s time to have fun.

 

“I sparred with Rau’Shee (Λαβύρινθος) για αυτόν τον αγώνα. He has tremendous talent. He’s an inspiration for me. We also sparred with Vasyl Lomachenko for this fight. You have to be physically and mentally in shape to fight him.”
