It’s a thrill to promote the first World Boxing Super Series fight in the United States,” said Richard Schaefer, Chairman and CEO of Ringstar Sports. “This fight may very well turn out to be the best clash of the entire tournament. The WBSS is a first class organization and I am proud to be working with them to bring the best fighters in the world to the US competing for the Ali trophy. San Antonio is a great boxing town and the Alamodome is the perfect place to kick-off the US leg of the tournament.
We can’t wait to bring the Ali Trophy to San Antonio,” said Kalle Sauerland, Comosa’s Chief Boxing Officer. “This is a real boxing Mecca and the US will get their first taste of what this tournament is all about
A full slate of undercard bouts will be announced soon.
I’m proud to attend a tournament where Muhammad Ali’s name is on the trophy and I’m looking forward to proving that I’m the best cruiserweight in the world,” said 31-year-old Dorticos from Miami, Florida.
I am also happy that this bout is in the United States, which I now consider my country. I am sure that on 23 septembrie, Eu voi fi victorios.”
There are two KO specialists, two effective hammers colliding when the World Boxing Super Series hits Texas.
Kudryashov calls himself ‘Russian Hammer’, but do not forget that there is also a Cuban hammer in this fight. My nickname is ‘The KO Doctor’, and Kudryashov is my next patient.
The Draft Gala in Monaco in July paved the way the clash of the KO kings between fourth-seeded Dorticos and unseeded Kudryashov.
I can’t wait for this fight to take place. Un lucru este sigur – the crowd in San Antonio gets an explosive affair that doesn’t go the distance!” said 31-year-old Kudryashov from Volgodonsk in Russia.
I think it’s amazing that this tournament only contains the best of the best, all four reigning cruiserweight champions. I have respect for Dorticos and the other participants, but they will also respect my hammer because it will bring me all four titles and the Muhammad Ali Trophy,” said Kudryashov.

The drama in Monaco unfolded when the super-middleweights were called onto the stage. As the top seed, WBA Super Champion George Groves had four opponents to choose from. He picked British rival Jamie Cox for adomestic dust-up.Second-seeded Callum Smith then selected Swedish sensation Erik Skoglund, with the WBC Diamond Championship on the line due to Smith´s status as the WBC´s top-ranked challenger. The third seed was given to the winner of next week´s showdown between Chris Eubank Jr. and Arthur Abraham. With both fighters in training, this pairing was represented by Chris Eubank Senior, who choseThe Dentist” Avni Yildirim. This set the stage for the fourth quarter-final between fourth-seed Juergen Braehmer and undefeated US challenger Rob Brant.

The cruiserweight line-up featured all four reigning champions, two former champions, a KO king and a rising challenger. Second-seed Murat Gassiev, the IBF Champion, did not get to pick an opponent because he has to face mandatory challenger Krzysztof Wlodarczyk. This left Olympic gold medal winner Oleksandr Usyk, the first seed, with Marco Huck, Dmitry Kudryashov and Perez as potential opponents. Usyk selected Huck, with third-seed Briedis then picking Perez. This also set up the clash between fourth-seeded Dorticos and “Ciocanul rusesc” Kudryashov.

There could not have been a more exciting start to the World Boxing Super Series,” said Roberto Dalmiglio, Comosa`s Head of Management Board. “This tournament will change the face of boxing because it pits the best against the best in a fan-friendly way. The fans will get to see a lot of exciting fights in a very short time. Something like this has never been done before. We promised the best fighters out there and today we brought them all together live on stage in the stunning setting of the Grimaldi Forum.

Said Kalle Sauerland, Comosa`s Chief Boxing Officer: “The last couple of days have been filled with intriguing discussions and speculations about the picks. The waiting is finally over and we are proud to present eight amazing fights. The inaugural season of the World Boxing Super Series will feature nine undefeated fighters, seven belts, five world champions and three former champions. To see all those stars on one stage was incredible and it will be even more exciting to see all of them in the ring in September and October. There will not be a dull moment in the Muhammad Ali Trophy.

Said Richard Schaefer, Comosa`s Chairman of the Americas. “I was fortunate to be promoting many fights of Floyd Mayweather, Oscar de la Hoya and so many others but I have to tell you this beats them all. I really believe this has an opportunity to become the brand in the sport of boxing, the kind of tournament fighters really want to participate in because it will elevate their exposure and it will elevate their careers.

The quarter-finals will be held in September and October, the semi-finals in January and February and the finals in May in top venues around the globe

SUPER mijlocie

Groves vs Cox:

George Groves:

Me and Jamie are old buddies. We’ve known each other a long time now. I quite fancied a bit of a domestic dust up. I wanted to pick my countryman. I know he wanted to fight me. I’ve provided him a great opportunity. He’s fighting for a World title. It’s also a strategic move. It’s a long tournament so I picked the easy guy first.

Jamie Cox:

I was looking forward to getting a UK dust up. George picked me and that makes for a great fight. It’s time to bury a seed!

Smith vs. Skoglund:

Callum Smith:

There were four really good fighters to pick from, three left for me. I just think stylistically Erik is the best fight for me.

Erik Skoglund:

To kick off the quarterfinals against an undefeated top guy for the WBC Diamond belt is massive. I couldn’t be happier with the choice.

Winner of Eubank / Abraham vs. Yildirim:

Chris Eubank:

Avni is a come forward fighter. I don’t think he knows how to go back. He brings war, and that will make for a spectacular fight. Once my son gets past Arthur Abraham, he will do the same to Avni. Chris Eubank Jr is an upgraded version of me.

Avni Yildirim:

I am very happy to be here. Good luck to the winner of Eubank and Abraham because it is my time now.

Braehmer vs. Brant:
Juergen Braehmer:

Since I could not pick any opponent any more, I got the strongest guy. The others apparently avoided him. I look forward to the start of the tournament and I am curious to find out when and where the fight will take place.

Rob Brant:

There’s not an easy fight in this tournament. Whether it was the first person to pick or the last person they are all champions. I’m ready to do my best.

Warriors Boxing Congratulates Murat Gassiev for Title Winning Victory and Issues Challenge to the Entire Boxing World

‘Explain to me why Denis Lebedev is still world champion.
Warriors Boxing and Ural Boxing wish to congratulate the fighter they co-promote, brand-new IBF Cruiserweight World Champion Murat “Fier” Gassiev, for his title-winning victory on December 3 against Denis Lebedev at the Khodynka Ice Palace in Moscow, Rusia.
In an entertaining fight, Gassiev (24-0, 17 KO) de Vladikavkaz, Rusia, dropped his countryman Lebedev in the fifth round and won a split decision by scores of 116-112 și 116-111 against a score of 114-113 for the now-former champ.
In losing, Lebedev remained the WBA World Champion, as that belt was not on the line in the fightwhich is where Warriorschallenge to the boxing world lies.
I challenge anyone in the boxing world to give me a logical explanation why Denis Lebedev was allowed to keep his WBA title after losing,” a spus Leon Margules, Președintele Warriors Box. “Neither fighter was over the cruiserweight limit. This was a unified champion defending his titles. It’s absurd and it sets a dangerous precedent in boxing. Why would any unified champion ever put all their belts on the line again if they could keep one or two, even if they lose?”
The pair were supposed to meet for both the WBA and IBF belts, but somehow less than a week before the fight, the WBA was convinced to allow this highly irregular move, which allowed Lebedev to remain WBA Super World Cruiserweight Champion, câștiga sau pierde, above WBA “Regulat” World Champion Beibut Shumenov and WBA “Interimar” World Champion Yunier Dorticos.
We went along with this travesty and fought anyway, but only because Lebedev’s team threatened to pull the fight if we didn’t. It’s a ridiculous situation and I want the boxing world to know what went down here.
Margules says Lebedev’s camp are now using the Russian media to claim Gassiev is refusing a rematch.
Let me set that straight right now. We would LOVE to fight Lebedev again. We’ll beat him even more easily this time. But only if he actually puts the WBA belt on the line, the one my guy has already won from him in the eyes of everyone but the sanctioning body.
Boxing politics aside, Margules and his team say they are happy with the way the 23-year-old Gassiev looked in going 12 rounds for the first time in his life.
Murat fulfilled the promise he has shown throughout his ascension to the top of the division,” said Margules. “He was in his first 12-rounder and he kept his composure. He didn’t blow his energy when he had the guy down in the fifth. And he didn’t panic when the champion, who is a very tough guy, had a few good rounds in the middle of the fight. I am very happy to be promoting a terrific fighter like him.

He reminds me of a young Rocky Marciano,” said Warriors Boxing’s COO Luis DeCubas. “He’s like a tank coming forward that you can’t stop. He will get to you eventually. He’s a star in this sport. I am sure the Shumenov/Dorticos winner would much rather fight the real unified champion Gassiev, instead of the loser Lebedev. These types of situations really hurt our sport.

CARLTON, MN. (Mai 18, 2016) – Unbeaten cruiserweight contender Murat “Fier” Gassiev (23-0, 17 KO) scored a sensational knockout victory over Jordan Shimmell (20-2, 16 KO) în evenimentul principal al Premier box Campionilor Marți TOE-la-n picioare pe FS1 și Box Campionilor pe FOX DeportesMarți night from Black Bear Casino Resort in Carlton, MN in the Otter Creek Event Center.
Gassiev delivered a powerful left hook that put Shimmell out on the mat and halted the cruiserweight title elimination bout immediately at 2:54 din primul tur de scrutin. Shimmell was able to move effectively for much of the round and had landed an early combination that got the attention of Gassiev.
The Russian fighter, who now trains in California with Abel Sanchez, was able to start working through the defense of Shimmell with his jab as the round wore on. The final blow came after Gassiev imitated a right hand and delivered the critical left hook while Shimmell was caught counter-punching.
The co-main event of the night saw local favorite Joey “Minnesota Ice” Abell (32-9, 30 KO) deliver a dominant performance in knocking out previously unbeaten Wes Nofire (19-1, 15 KO) in their heavyweight showdown.
The former title challenger bothered Nofire early and often from his southpaw stance and was successful with his left hand throughout the fight. Abell snuck in a strong right hook in round two that stunned Nofire before he delivered multiple left hooks to score the early knockdown.
Nofire tried to weather the storm but a big right hand from Abell again put Nofire down early in the third round. Nofire almost made it out of the round but Abell’s power in the left hand proved to be too much as a series of strong shots sent Nofire down for the final time before his corner stopped the fight.
Abell could hardly miss as he connected on 42 percent of his punches on his way to the stoppage at 2:12 a treia rundă.
În meciul de deschidere, St. Louis heavyweight Stephan Shaw (7-0, 5 KO) earned a shutout unanimous decision over Washington, D.C.’s Danny Kelly (9-3-1, 8 KO) in their six-round bout.
Shaw controlled the action with superior boxing skills and strong combinations throughout the fight. Kelly had some success targeting the body of Shaw but was unable to maintain a consistently effective attack.
The punch stats were in line with the judgesscores of 60-54 as Shaw out landed Kelly 95 pentru 56 while connecting at 34 percent mark to Kelly’s 23 la sută.
Aici este ceea ce luptătorii au avut de spus Marți:
MURAT GASSIEV
I was trying to set up the final punch. I imitated the right overhand so that I could come back with the left hook. It was a combination that we practiced.
It wasn’t the most powerful punch but I snapped it pretty well. I was ready to keep going but that punch was enough.
I’ve trained hard and been improving my skills. I’m going to work and get ready for my title shot.
I am extremely happy he got up and I hope he is okay. I never want to hurt anybody; I just want to win the fight.
JORDAN SHIMMELL
“Am fost prins. Gassiev has power. It was a clean shot and I got hit, it is what it is.
He’s a really good fighter with power. I’ll be back. It was a learning experience.
JOEY ABELL
I did this for myself. I wanted so see where I was at. I’m a different fighter when I have time to train.
I’m going to give it some time to think about the next step. Right now I want to fight for the rest of my life, but if I got beat It would be different.
This is exactly what I planned. I thought I might get him in the first round but I took my time. My punches were sharp. There were times in the past where I felt my timing was off but I’m in great shape so I wasn’t thinking about getting tired.
WES NOFIRE
I just didn’t get the shots I was looking for. I thought I was going to be able to back him up more with my jab. He stayed his distance and lunged in from out of range.
One of the head butts caught me pretty good and I just couldn’t see what he was coming back with.
The head butts were giving me problems and he followed up on me after them. He was a little stronger than I expected but I’ve been hit hard like that by other fighters.
“Sunt dezamăgit. I trained really hard for the fight. I’ve never had a problem taking power before. It’s just one of those things that happens in everybody’s career, but I’ll be back.
STEPHAN SHAW
I felt great in there. It felt good to be victorious in my first fight on PBC. I fought a guy with a lot of experience and did what I had to do.
I’m the best kept secret in America. That’s my motto.
DANNY KELLY
I started too late. I was working behind my jab but I didn’t do enough behind it. I-am dat o mea toate.
He only hurt me once, with a right hand in the fourth round. I didn’t think he had speed but I should have start earlier.

Las Vegas (Decembrie 18) – The “forta” a fost cu starul cubanez și proaspăt încoronat campion mondial la categoria ușoară Rances Barthelemy (24-0, 13 KO) întrucât a câștigat o decizie unanimă în 12 runde în privința sudoxului rus Denis Shafikov (36-2-1, 19 KO) în meciul principal al finalei Premier box Campionilor (PBC) pe Spike carte de lupta de 2015. Transmisiunea de patru lupte, care a fost susținut de lupte netelevizate cu unele dintre promoțiile Mayweather’ creștere stele, a avut loc la Pearl at Palms Casino Resort din Las Vegas.
Ieșind dintr-un turneu mondial de lux, Floyd Mayweather s-a întors în Statele Unite și a stat lângă ring ca promotor al luptelor din această seară. Campionul mondial de cinci divizii, recent retras, care a aflat şi astăzi că a fost ales caSports Illustrated Fighter anului, a fost animat și angajat prin clopoțelul final al serii.
Evenimentul principal, care a început ca o luptă strânsă între picioare, s-a încheiat în favoarea lui Barthelemy, când a măturat ultimul sfert al meciului. Shafikov a controlat începutul luptei, să rămână în buzunar și să arunce pumni mai puternici decât Barthelemy, deoarece cubanezului i-a fost greu să se adapteze la un timp semnificativ mai scurt., totusi mai puternica, stilul lui Shafikov.
Punctul de cotitură al luptei a avut loc atunci când o tăietură cauzată de un pumn al lui Barthelemy s-a deschis deasupra ochiului drept al lui Shafikov în runda a opta.. Sângele a început să se slăbească cu furie și arbitrul Vic Drakulich a chemat medicul de lângă ring pentru a inspecta tăietura.. Când lupta s-a reluat, Barthelemy a atacat ochiul rusului și nu s-a lăsat niciodată pentru restul luptei. A profitat de tăietură și a combinat-o cu avantajul său de înălțime și atingere, ceea ce a condus la o rețetă pentru succes, deoarece acum este campion mondial în două divizii.. Judecătorii au văzut meciul 119-109 și 116-112 de două ori.
“Au fost momente în care am fost prins în stilul meu de a lupta. Mi-a luat un minut să mă adaptez la stilul lui Shafikov și să schimb pumni cu el,” Said Barthelemy. “Sunt foarte mulțumit de numărul de lovituri pe care am reușit să le scot.
“Am fost foarte impresionat de stilul războinic al lui Shafiov. Nu a renuntat niciodata nici dupa ce a fost ranit cu pumnii care i-au afectat lupta. Asta chiar m-a prins prin surprindere și, de asemenea, că a fost capabil să reziste toată lupta. Faptul că a continuat chiar spune ceva despre el ca luptător.”
“Nu sunt sigur dacă am câștigat lupta,” Said Shafikov. “Sunt foarte dezamăgit și vreau o revanșă.”
Evenimentul co-principal a avut un sfârșit bizar pentru ceea ce urma să fie o luptă de eliminare a cruiserweight. Southpaw din DetroitIsiah Thomas (15-0, 6 KO) a câștigat lupta pe toți cei trei judecători’ cartele de scor prin runda a treia când rusesc putere-puncher Murat “Fier” Gassiev (22-0, 16 KO) i-a aruncat accidental lovituri tardive lui Thomas’ cap după clopot. Loviturile l-au forțat pe arbitru Jay Nady pentru a face apelul dur pe care pumnii “a diminuat valoarea” lui Toma’ capacitatea de a continua. Întrucât lupta nu durase încă patru runde, regulile unificate afirmă că lupta nu se duce la scorecards, hotărând astfel un nu contest.
Chris Pearson (16-1 11 KO), o super welter promițătoare de la Dayton, Ohio și-a pus recordul anterior neînvins pe linie împotriva unui coleg neînvins Eric Walker (12-0, 6 KO) de Plaquemine, Louisiana în al doilea meci televizat. Walker a ieșit puternic, dominând primele runde împotriva lui Pearson, un alt membru al grajdului stelelor în devenire de la Mayweather Promotions. Un Pearson clătinat a perseverat și a încercat să schimbe curentul într-o rundă a cincea plină de acțiune cu o serie de lovituri în cap..

Runda a șaptea i-a văzut pe ambii luptători schimbând un baraj brutal de pumni, culminând cu o rundă a opta și ultima rapidă, care a atras ovații din partea mulțimii.. Walker, cel defavorizat, care a cheltuit 13 ani în Institutul Corecțional Dixon din Louisiana, a obținut o victorie prin decizie unanimă (79-71, 78-74, 80-72) câștigând cea mai mare luptă din viața sa în fața unui public captivat de televiziune națională.

“Dacă crezi în Dumnezeu și muncești din greu la ceea ce faci, vei reuși,” spus Walker. “Uită-te la mine acum.
“I-am urmărit luptele anterioare și știam că mâna mea dreaptă va fi prea mult pentru el și că o puteam ateriza oricând.,” a continuat Walker. “Condiționarea mea a fost cu adevărat diferența în seara asta. Eram într-o formă grozavă și m-am putut baza pe asta când lucrurile au devenit grele.”

Pearson a fost dezamăgit de decizie și a rămas dorind o revanșă.

“Eu iau palaria mea off la el,” Said Pearson. “Pumnii lui erau clare și dure. Pur și simplu nu am putut să merg la nimic în mod constant. Am crezut că este mai aproape decât judecătorii’ scorecards și cu siguranță vreau o revanșă cât mai curând posibil.”

În meciul de deschidere de seara, una dintre vedetele în ascensiune rapide ale boxului, Gervonta “Alesul” Davis (14-0, 13 KO) din Baltimore și-a pus în joc recordul de neînvins împotriva Mexicului Luis Sanchez (17-5-1, 5 KO) într-o ciocnire ușoară.

Davis, un protejat de 21 de ani al lui Mayweather, și-a respectat reputația de superstar în devenire, obținând o victorie în runda a IX-a, la knockout.. Sanchez și-a arătat duritatea și rezistența în timp ce l-a forțat pe Davis să lupte cu trei runde mai lungi decât orice luptă din cariera sa. Davis și-a arătat viteza și puterea în runda a opta în timp ce a aterizat un uppercut pentru a-și doborî adversarul hotărât.. În runda a noua, a aruncat o mână stângă masivă pentru a-l termina pe Sanchez, trimițându-l pe Mayweather în picioare în semn de sărbătoare.

“M-a simțit grozav să lupți cu toate aceste runde și să lucrezi,” Davis a spus. “Este un luptător dur și am învățat multe în seara asta. A fost o experiență foarte bună pentru mine.
“Am ascultat doar colțul meu și Floyd, mi-a luat timp și l-am dărâmat. Vreau să lupt din nou cât mai curând posibil pentru un titlu mondial.”
Mayweather, care era foarte încântat de Davis’ performanţă, vede viitorul tânărului luptător neînvins ca fiind luminos.
“Este întotdeauna bine să mergi acolo și să iei W,” Said Mayweather. “E tânăr. El încă învață. Așteptăm cu nerăbdare să devină campion mondial într-o zi.”
Mayweather sa bucurat de oportunitatea de a promova una dintre ultimele lupte ale anului în orașul său natal, Las Vegas, spunând, “Sunt atât de fericit că am putut să prezentăm la televiziunea națională câțiva dintre luptătorii talentați pe care îi avem la Mayweather Promotions. Câștiga sau pierde, Sunt mândru de toți.
“Mai important, vreau să urez tuturor Sărbători Fericite și să le mulțumesc pentru că m-au sprijinit, Mayweather Promotions și The Money Team în toți acești ani. Apreciez din suflet.”
