Bivši svjetski prvak Lipinets, bitke bez poraza
Custio Clayton za privremeni IBF naslov u poluteškoj kategoriji
Uživo na Showtime® Subota, Listopad 24 Naslovnica a
Premier događaj boksačkih prvaka

NEW YORK (Listopad 20, 2020) – Čak i s promjenom datuma, a zatim i protivnika, Bivši svjetski prvak Sergey Lipinets ostaje izuzetno siguran u svoj trening kamp i sveukupne pripreme dok se priprema za pobjed neporaženih Custio Clayton za privremeni IBF naslov u poluteškoj kategoriji uživo u emisiji SHOWTIME ove subote, Listopad 24 (9 poslije podne. ET / 6 poslije podne. PT) zaokružujući događaj Premier Boxing Champions.

“Nikad nismo propustili nijedan ritam priprema, čak i uz promjenu protivnika,”Rekao je Lipinets. “Moja borba s Kudratillom Abdukakhorovom bila je uključena i isključena toliko dugo da sam već imao ideju da će biti prisiljen povući se, pa nisam bio šokiran. Baš me briga, iako. S kim god se moram boriti, spreman sam se boriti, tako da nisam razmišljao o povlačenju iz borbe ni jedne sekunde. "

Lipinets je zaslužan za svog trenera, poznati Joe Goossen, za mentalno pomaganje svom borcu kroz promjene, uz fizički trening koji su poduzeli krećući u borbu.

“Imati Joea Goossena jednako je imati psihijatra i trenera,”Rekao je Lipinets. “Izuzetno mi je pomogao kako pristupiti svemu tome. Joe mi je pomogao da ostanem smiren i shvatim da nešto dobro uvijek može doći iz loše ili teške situacije, i zbog toga, Nikad nisam izgubio fokus. "

Clayton je kanadski olimpijac s neokaljanim profesionalnim životopisom koji vodi u ovaj obračun. Dok Lipinets primjećuje da postoje razlike u stilovima borbe između Abdukahorova i Claytona, ništa od toga ne mijenja njegovu namjeru u listopadu 24.

“Znam da Clayton ima sjajno amatersko podrijetlo,”Rekao je Lipinets. “Provjerila sam njegov stil, a glavna je razlika u tome što je Abdukahorov aktivniji, a Clayton precizniji. Abdukakhorov je također malo agresivniji, a Clayton strpljiviji.

“Mislim da jedno nije teže ili lakše od drugog. Mislim da je bilo tko tko se bori na ovoj razini težak protivnik. Abdukakhorov se više kreće i može biti neugodniji s različitim stilovima koje koristi. Oboje su vrlo teški momci, ali ja sam spreman za Claytona i u ovom trenutku sam se usredotočio samo na njega. "

Unatoč tome što se usredotočio isključivo na Claytona, Lipinets zna da ova borba donosi veliku priliku za glasan proglas ostatku naslagane velter kategorije velikom izvedbom za osvajanje privremenog IBF naslova.

“Spremna sam dati jednu izjavu - pripadam ovdje,”Rekao je Lipinets. “Želim se boriti protiv najboljih. Želim otisnuti ovaj sport i izgraditi svoje naslijeđe. Morao sam to učiniti na teži način, ali ne žalim se. Borio sam se za svoje prvo prvenstvo upravo u svom 13th profesionalna borba. Vjerujem da pripadam upravo tom vrhu sporta. Ljudi trebaju početi spominjati moje ime s najboljim momcima i nakon ove borbe morat će. Ne možete više gledati mimo mene. "

On making his SHOWTIME debut…

What do you know about your opponent?

DeLomba: “I know my opponent has quick hands and likes to throw speedy shots. I’m completely focused on myself and my training. I believe in my abilities as a fighter. I’m not intimidated.”



What will a victory on February 28th do for your career going forward?



Hitchins: “Another win carries me to that next level. Gladan sam, I come from nothing, so I stay with a chip on my shoulder. I’m appreciative of my team, Mayweather Promotions, and to SHOWTIME for providing me with this opportunity to build my name in the sport and show the world what I can do.”



DeLomba: “A win over Hitchins will catapult me to that next level. It’s a televised bout and this will bring me the exposure I need to branch out and expose myself to a new audience. It will improve my career tremendously.”

To je ono što namjeravate raditi doći borba večeri. Ja se svaki borbu i sat sa mnom u teretanu i trenirati teže nego dan prije i gurati sebe da zaista biti najbolji borac. Znam da dolaze kao underdog, ali to će samo me žele pobijediti sve više i da se taj tip koji daje Hitchins svoj prvi poraz.”.



Las Vegas’ own Kevin Newman (11-1, 6KO-a) 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 how Pobijedim. 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., Henderson (12-0-1, 8 KO-a) 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’.”

Hawkins raced to the early lead, but the veteran Serrano got going in the middle rounds as he used his experience to get himself back into the fight by winning scrums on the inside and an occasional long right hand. Down the stretch, Hawkins dug down deep and took control of the fight as seemed to be the fresher fighter. Hawkins who had never been past seven rounds, paced himself well against a tough Serrano, who never showed any signs of retreating as the two stood and fought until the final bell.

Rock of Philadelphia is now 11-0 s 7 miševa. Hale of Austin, Texas falls to 4-12.

 

 

 

Good looking prospect Brandon Pizarro rebounded nicely from his 1st professional defeat by pounding out a 4-round unanimous decision over Pablo Cupal in a lightweight fight.

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

Ostavite komentar
Filadelfija, PA (Ožujak 27, 2018) – Ovaj petak noć, velter kandidat, Raymond “Tito” 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.
U svom posljednjem izlet, the 28 year-old Serrano was impressive in defeating previously undefeated Enver Halili via 8th round disqualification.
“I had a great training camp. Freddie Roach trained me and I will be cornered by his assistant Ernie Zavala u petak,” Said 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 Upravljanje. 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 u petak. 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. (Travanj 15, 2017) – Undefeated WBA Interim Light Heavyweight Titlist Dmitry Bivol knocked down Samuel Clarkson three times en route to a fourth-round TKO Petak u glavnom slučajuShoBox: Nova generacija live on SHOWTIME from MGM National Harbor.

 

Bivol (10-0, 8 Kos) is now the mandatory challenger for WBA (regular) 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. Ja sam spreman. "

 

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 co-obilježje.

 

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 u drugom, uključujući 15-1 in the final minute. 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 televizijska emisija, 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, najvažnije, I have the best wife and sparring partner in the world,” said Dezurn, who trains under Barry Hunter in Washington, Da kapo, 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.

 

"Večeras 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.”

ZAVRŠNE citati:

 

DMITRY BIVOL:

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

 

“Clarkson is a big light heavyweight, but I have fought bigger guys. To je teška borba, 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. Ja sam spreman za ovu borbu. 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, brzo, 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 (Odgajivačnica zečeva) for this fight. 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.”
